Talk:USS Truxtun (CGN-35)

message: I was a crew member while on the Westpac in July of 70 as the ships barber. After leaving Subic Bay heading for Fremantle, Australia we put on a show for the Russians who were involved in Bangaledish (sp).  The Ship traveled from Subic Bay to the Eastern coast of Africa and then turned to fremantle and accomplished this I believe in 10 days creating history in the amount of miles (12,000) in the amount of time (10 days) and were given a mertious unit citation for this accomplishment.

thread_title: Merge suggestion 

message: I deleted the sentence, "Due to the ship's ability to operate independently on Nuclear power, Truxtun spent 144 consecutive days on station at sea before arriving at the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) of Diego Garcia for crew liberty and ship maintenance." because it is untrue.  The ship in fact made four trips to Diego Garcia, three times for work on a chronically broken air conditioner, and once to tow USS Davidson, which had suffered an engine room fire.  Note that the article on USS Constellation (CV-64) has that ship spending "a record-setting 110 days" at sea on this same deployment.  I have no sources to cite for Truxtun's activity other than my own memory, so I am limited to deleting the incorrect information.  Tms (talk) 18:35, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  /* 1980s and 1990s */ Delete false sentence about 144 days on station. 

message: I deleted the part of the sentence in the first paragraph in the section on the 1980s and 1990s that read, "... eventually serving for an extended period of time in the Persian Gulf during the Iranian Hostage Crisis."  Truxtun never entered the Gulf on that deployment; instead she spent most of her time in the North Arabian Sea.  I have no printed source, only my own memory of that cruise, so all I can do is delete the incorrect statement. Tms (talk) 08:29, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

replies: text:  Dawkins may have quoted some text but certainly not all of it. I've been unable to find a copy of the H.G. Wells book but the text is clearly written in the style of Dawkins. The directly quoted material is okay since the H.G. Wells book appears to be out of copyright, but there is still a large amount of text belonging to Dawkins that is protected by copyright. This is plagiarism - plain and simple. Thepreacher 11:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Portuguese Roller Hockey First Division

message: As it is, the current article title does not represent the official name of the competition nor does it specify which of the two league tiers it concerns about. 
I suggest the following possible titles:

#Campeonato Nacional da 1ª Divisão (roller hockey)
#Portuguese Roller Hockey First Division (although Wikipedia allows the use of native language naming, this translation correctly describes the article and allows a better understanding for non-Portuguese speakers)

text: excellent question, for as we know, US drug policy prohibits drug lords from selling more than 2 drugs, and within that selection, no more than two forms of the drug. so Mr. Mitchell would have been prohibited from selling, say, crystal methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine, or heroin, opium, and prescription narcotics simultaneously. He would have had to get a waiver from both the county and the federal authorities to expand his business (showing evidence he was not creating a monopoly on drug sales in oakland), or face stiff fines. I dont know which ones he was authorized to sell, but I'm sure that he was careful to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, given his social standing at the time.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Greg (Marvel Comics)

message: User Murgh notified me of this request. On the one hand, we have the current article about what seems to be a very minor character (does he even need his own page?). On the other hand, we have the article Michel Regnier, about a major European comics writer, artist and editor (editor-in-chief of Tintin (magazine) and author of 200+ comics) who worked for the larger part of his career as Greg. Since Greg is a dismabig page, Greg (comics) is the logical place to put the article about him (only fanatics would look under his real name, Michel Regnier). The current character has at most 285 Google hits, and perhaps as little as 23. Michel Regnier gets only some 639 hits, but Greg (the author) gets at least 32,000 hits , and is thus clearly the most well-known and logical term. So I would support the requested move, and then moving the current page Michel Regnier to Greg (comics). Fram 21:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Parallel curve

message: The notion of parallel from "autoparallel" doesn't seem to be quite the same as in the rest of the article. In fact, I can find no sources discussing offset curves to even mention these "autoparallel" curves. What I could find is a book on general relativity , which says: "in a flat space an auto-parallel curve is a straight line", with geodesics given as examples on the sphere. The notion of parallel there is that of parallel transport, of course. JMP EAX (talk) 16:27, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick search turns up  which defines auto-parallel curves as ones where the vector field of tangent vectors to the curve is parallel (in the sense of parallel transport). This seems completely different to saying it a curve is parallel to itself. I would say we remove this paragraph.--Salix alba (talk): 20:19, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Wow--lots to add to this page

message: I am deeply doubtful of the value of this page, and I cannot see its purpose. Aside from the fact that it is not a complete list of British painters and it can never hope to be one, it contains no useful information whatsoever. To find an artist on this page, you need to already know either their name or their birthdate, and having found them here, you've learned nothing new about them. 
Why is this list ordered chronologically on birth date, with no additional information added? 
The same purpose would be served much better by simply adding a sub-division of category pages underneath Category:British painters, organised by century. Then you would have an alphabetical ordering within each century, which would be more convenient for browsing, and could be maintained far more easily. 
Alternatively this page should be developed into a tabular format offering more information about each artist, especially the genre(s) they worked in, so that at least it would add some value to Wikipedia. Rubywine (talk) 20:30, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

But I can see a good case for keeping them separate and developing this into a piece that documents Thameemul Ansari's life and impact as a saint while the Hazrat Thameemul Ansari (Rah) Dargah article concentrates on the shrine itself, and its history and role.  The dargah article mentions that Thameemul Ansari is considered a very powerful saint by some.  Is that just because of his status as one of the Sahaba?
