Talk:Jacob Shapiro

message: Shapiro's nickname "Gurrah" apparently came from a tendency to slur his words; he would frequently shout "Get out of here !" as "Gurrah da' here!" to his underlings.
I hadn't heard of this supposed nickname prior to reading this article. However, there's no citation supporting that is the root of it. There's nothing showing that he'd shout Get out of here!. And even if he did, it'd seem weird how you can get Gurra da' here! out of that.
The book "Tough Jews" by Rich Cohen, page 66: Shapiro was known to most people as 'Gurrah'.  He was always walking around with hunched shoulders, telling people, "Get outta here!" And somehow, when he said it, it came out "Gurrah da here!"...

Talk:HMS Royalist (89)

message: I'm describing my logic here before this may become an issue. I hope others would read over this article as well.
I have just copyedited the article, and removed more than half of its prose. A vast majority of the article was a mix of irrelevant, unsupported, biased, hard-to-read, or otherwise unencyclopedic content as the article repeatedly described unnecessary ideas in-depth. For context, this is what the un-copyedited article looked like. While some information could be appropriate for other articles, most of it did not relate to Royalist.

replies: text: Thank you for your copy editing efforts here, it is appreciated. It is something I wanted to do myself, but I couldn't pluck up the mental fortitude to deal with it. FWIW, I agree with your assessment regarding the removed material. The majority, if not all, of said material was added by an IP user who could not edit appropriately, effectively and collaboratively. Now the article has been pared back, hopefully it will easier to deal with any inappropriate additions. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 03:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Whilst in Sydney, news reached them of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the subsequent surrender of Japan. Bermuda then sailed for the Philippines, arriving on 23 July.

Talk:HMS Gloucester (62)

message: There seems to be an element of confusion between sources as to the number of survivors of the sinking. The BBC article and Ken Otter's HMS Gloucester The Untold Story (2001) are in broad agreement, with the BBC stating "only 84 of the cruiser's crew survived in the water until the next day" while Ken Otter has "only 85 men... survived when the ship was destroyed" and "Only 83 survived to come home at the end of the war". However other sources, like David A Thomas' Crete 1941 the battle at sea (1972), state that "Germans had rescued more than 500 Gloucester men".
Ken Otter suggests this discrepancy is caused by some researchers taking speculation of contemporary sources as fact. A letter from Admiral Cunningham in July 1941 states, "I have not heard one word about any of the Gloucesters ship's company though there is a rumour, that the Germans broadcast, that 75% of them had been rescued".
I would suggest that future editors should be a little cautious if they come across another source with the 500 survivors claim. Road Wizard (talk) 18:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The book makes it clear that Stuart, Vendetta and Voyager were ordered to pick up survivors from the Fiji, which they were unable to locate.

replies: text: Hmm. Well, trees have leaves, and are bushy, so I'd say pubic hair, by the river, which is like an artery, and there are plenty of arteries in that area. Now, there's a hole in the ground, and following this sexy analogy, the urethra is a hole. I'm not sure what the old man of Aran is, since I don't know much about what that's referring to, but if the lyric is actually an old man of iron, then it's possible he's talking about a genital piercing. Piercing are ancient techniques, so this "old man of iron" going around and around whenever the man has sex. The mind, as in the feeling of sex, is a beacon in the veil of the night, in other words the sex has the possibility of cheering up a person who's depressed, though in a strange kind of fashion it's wrong to have sex for pleasure, but right because it feels good. And yet, though there's a popular caricature that the penis has a mind of its own, in reality it's a part of your body, and it will never, ever fight over you. The feelings of arousal and desire are feelings in your brain, not your penis. Of course, since Nik Kershaw said he didn't mean for the riddle to have an answer, my interpretation can never be proved right, or wrong. Kevin (talk) 02:36, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: One lyric sheet I saw had it as an 'old man of erin', which is possibly a reference to the port of Erin on the Isle of Man.

replies: text: Nothing is 'Bristol Byzantine'. If the attribution to Summerson is correct....and I've never seen a book-and-page citation... it's just a mildly perjorative portmanteau term for a variety of buildings in styles thet he was not particularly sympathetic towards and could not be bothered to understand.. It's clear that the term is a nonsense for a variety of reasons: it's grouping of buildings with virtually nothing in common (such as the Granary and the Carriage works) built over a long period of time and it certainly doesnot refer to any self-conscious tendency or style. Many of the architects named designed buildings in a variety of other styles. Its pretty nonsensical to refer to anything as being 'influenced by Byzantine architecture' given that the Byzantine empire lasted for around twelve hundred years. Round arches a nd a tendency to use a variety of building materials is not enough.
