Talk:SimplexGrinnell

message: After reading over the "Simplex Time Recorder Company" section of this article, I have realized that it may be too overly-detailed and technical for most readers, as it contains a great deal of model numbers. Most of this information is also unverified and may be original research. This section also focuses highly on Simplex's notification appliances and pull stations, but lacks information on their fire alarm control panels and other products. Subsequently, I have placed a cleanup tag on the section and will be working to streamline the information and provide a more general scope.

thread_title:  Too Many Model Numbers 

message: As a former employee of Simplex, it is well known within the company that Simplex developed and marketed the first practical timeclock.  This article mentions the purchase of IBM time division but utterly fails to mention why such an aquisition would be made because there is no mention of what simplex did prior to merger with Grinnell.  The article also does not mention that as part of the IBM merger, simplex was basically forced to purchase IBMs fire division as a condition of the time division sale.  This is how Simplex actually started in the fire/life safety business which utimatly led to Simplex being aquired by Grinnell via Tyco International. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.31.184.166 (talk) 13:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  What about the timeclock? 

message: Also a former Simplex Employee, here is some more Simplex history for integration by a more talented writer than myself - Simplex purchased IBMs time division to increase it's market presence and product line with Simplex continuing many of the IBM timeclocks under the Simplex label well into the 1960s.  Before purchasing IBMs time division, Simplex was only a timeclock company.  As part of the agreement to purchase the time division from IBM, Simplex also agreed to purchase the fire and safety division (this was a bundle because IBM wanted to offload both divisions).  This is what started Simplex down the path as a fire alarm company.  By the late 1970s, Simplex was losing market share in the timeclock market but had grown the fire division to the point that fire alarms became the major division and profit center of the company.  After merger with Grinnell, the automated time and attendance (software) part of the timeclock division was sold to Kronos, Inc. but Simplex-Grinnell continues to produce and market non-automated electro-mechanical and electronic timeclocks but these clocks are primarily manufactured by other companies under the Simplex label.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.31.184.166 (talk) 18:20, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Wheelock (brand)

message: Should there be any mention about the tone quality of the DC mechanical horns on FWR current compared to filtered DC? The tone quality on FWR has been described as sounding "raspy", and as having a "much cleaner" tone on filtered DC. It already mentions the 7001 and 7002 models with the horn and strobe wired in series (when the strobe flashes, it draws power, causing the horn to "skip") and so I don't see why the tone quality of the DC mechanical horns on FWR vs filtered DC shouldn't be included in the article.--2601:153:800:8308:3813:9EF8:FA5A:C703 (talk) 21:48, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  DC mechanical horns on FWR current vs filtered DC 

message: Much of the article is organized completely illogically, lacks citations, and has had silly statements such as "Cooper Wheelock products are often loud to alert occupants." and "The Wheelock AS has a reputation for how loud it is on high volume.", which I've since removed. 
Mircom is an independent company. The claim that Mircom is wholly owned by Wheelock is just factually wrong. That section could be improved by writing about how Mircom and Honeywell design their systems to be compatible with Wheelock notification, and how Siemens uses Wheelock products branded and modeled under their own name, owing to the lawsuit over synchronization that in settlement retired Siemens to discontinue their own notification and use Wheelock products with their systems, and even though the condition has expired, they still do.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ironmatic1 (talk • contribs) 06:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Herman H. Hanneken

message: Hanneken used deception and betrayal to have Charlemagne Massena Péralte murdered., Péralte was the leader of the Haitian resistance fighters during the U.S. occupation starting in 1915. This article gives a very lopsided view of Herman H. Hanneken, who by many is regarded as a man without valor and not worthy of any honors. 14:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Daring "raid on Péraltes camp" ?

message: Certainly Hanneken's assassination of Peralte technically occurred in a military context - one of militarily-forced colonialism. The contemporary Haitian reaction to Peralte's death makes clear that less than a majority of objective observers would characterize Hanneken's act as a "deed of valor." As it stands, this article merits NO CONFIDENCE and diminishes a reputed branch of the United States military.

Talk:Aspen/Snowmass

message: The climate in Colorado, Aspen/Snowmass[1] especially, is very unpredictable. We can never know for sure what the next day's weather will bring us. Some years, first snow occurs in October or September, and other years the snow comes several months later. At higher elevations, such as Maroon Peak[2], Pyramid Peak[3]... 1st snow occurs during the beginning of September. Some nights may bring 1 or 2ft of snow in months such as October, and the very next day could reach a high in the 50's. All you need for snow are freezing temperatures and a storm, which could happen literally any time of the year here in Aspen. What I do know for a fact though, is that at nearly 8,000 ft in elevation, Aspen recieves approximately 300 inches of snow each year. Some years may double that amount, and sometimes ( but rarely ) we don't get half that amount. The snow depth here varies between 2-5 or 6 ft in the winter time. March is the wettest month, and brings 2.66 inches of precipitation, followed by February, which brings the most snow, and an average snow depth around 30 inches. Aspen also gets about 300 days of sunshine, which makes the skiing here fantastic!!!

* "The joyous forward momentum and the melodious ideas found in this uplifting score have endeared it to choral societies and audiences alike."
* "is the finest of all his Missae brevis'"
* "That said, Mozart does write in quite daringly unrelated keys, which would have been quite a shock to 18th century audiences"
* "There are many examples of truly inspired use of soloists as a quartet"

message: I think the horn parts are considered to be optional, but I cannot find a reliable source. The horn parts are from an addendum to Mozart's autograph score, which you can download through this site where they are described as "Mozart's separate Horn particella". I think the horns double the choral parts, so omitting them would not affect the harmony

message: "She is the second French vessel" do you mean 2nd after the "Normandie" civilian vessel? Hope not, because when "Normandie" was renamed "Lafayette" by the Americans (New York port, 1942), the vessel was no longer French but requisitioned by the US Navy (who torched it unintentionally and sold it for 2 bucks to an US scrap merchant, thanks!).

thread_title: Untitled

message: Acknowledging:
 This insurrection and its outcome are most commonly referred to by historians of the
 Revolution simply as "the 10 August"; other common designations include "the journée
 of the 10 August" (French: journée du 10 août), "the insurrection of the 10 August",
 or even "the revolution of the 10 August".
as noted in the 10_August_(French_Revolution) Wikipedia page, the use of "the 10 August" here seemed unnecessarily stilted to this non-historian. If the principal editor of this page would prefer "the 10th of August 1792," that was my other alternative; frankly, I would have wanted to superscript the "th" in that case and I couldn't remember the command to do so. I certainly acknowledge that the original version before I revised it was the literal translation of journée du 10 août. My insertion of the year was because the siege of the Tuileries royal palace was more than three years after the storming of the Bastille on the much more widely remembered date of 14 July 1789.

thread_title:  Mistake 

message: Hi, an anonymous IP recently changed the name on this article and on Florence Parly to Minister for the Armed Forces instead of Minister of the Armed Forces.
I don't fundamentaly disagree with it, I just undid both edits because it has resulted in broken wikilinks. I can undo my own undos, but first we need a consensus on the name.
Info for reflexion :
In French : Ministre des Armées
In English (lit) : Minister of the Armies
In English (convention) : Minister of the Armed Forces <--current translation
Proposition by Ip : Minister for the Armed Forces
I have some reserves however, because for the Armed Forces would translate pour les Armées/Forces Armées in French and that's definitely not the official name. And of doesn't seem wrong since there is a US Secretary of Defense. However in some commonwealth countries there are Ministers for Defense.
Thoughts ?

Talk:Charles François Dumouriez

message: I'm going to add slightly more information about how Dumouriez was partly responsible for the expulsion of the Girondin party in 1793 due to their support of him when he was viewed as an enemy to Paris for his desire to not kill the King. Also, I will be mentioning how Dumouriez would try to dissolve the Convention in Paris with his Army in 5 April 1793 much like Lafayette before him, but the result being his army refusing and him escaping, which was a treasonous act. My Source for this will be:
Rickard, J (12 January 2009), Charles François Dumouriez, 1739-1823 , http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/people_dumouriez_charles.html
And this will be placed underneath the Section titled "Career During the Revolution"
Also, I will mention that the victory at the battle of Jemmappes proved the might and strength of the French military under Dumouriez's leadership which is proven by the painting "French Victory at Jemmappes" which was published in the newspaper Révolutions de Paris on 17 November 1792. Also in 14 November 1792 another painting was featured in this newspaper that depicted Dumouriez as the liberator of the Belgians when entering Brussels after the victory at Jemmappes.
