Talk:BA-64

message: Over 9,000 made but "At least 76 BA-64s and BA-64Bs were destroyed, abandoned, or otherwise reported lost during the war." I note the at least, but suspect it is something of an understatement. ϢereSpielChequers 04:56, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: We can confirm 76 specific vehicles with serial numbers as lost or destroyed during the war. The numbers may very well run into the hundreds, but there is no way we can verify that without a credible source. --Katangais (talk) 12:36, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: russian wiki claims ~3.3k armored cars of all types, majority BA-64, survived WW2 (backed by a book ref) so the sentence we use here is entirely misleading and should be adjusted or removed. --Denniss (talk) 12:58, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I find it difficult to believe either extreme. While 76 is definitely too low, the idea that 6,000+ were destroyed in the war is, quite frankly, preposterous. The book sources cited in this article - namely Kinnear - state very explicitly that the Soviets still had an overabundance of BA-64s after the war and the immediate postwar decade, and we can assume that most of the production run for the last two years survived the war. --Katangais (talk) 14:48, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Wartime production was ~8k, still a high loss rate + some probably already given to other nations. High vehicle loss rates were not uncommon in Red army, Red army recon cars were probably not as carefully used as the german doctrine specified for their own vehicles.--Denniss (talk) 15:30, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: >99% survived combat

message: "A BA-64's gearbox initially had one reverse and three forward gears on a two-speed transfer case, although a few models appear to have one reverse and four forward gears and no transfer case"
So what, they made a 2WD version of it? If it's 4WD it has a transfer case, that's what splits the power between front and rear axles. It might have a single gear ratio and so no second shift lever, but it has a transfer case. If not it would have to have some special transmission with output to the front and rear axles, like many AWD cars use. If it did have a drivetrain that significantly different, either with different transmission or old 2WD I would argue it was really a different vehicle at that point, not just a model. 
Also very typical for production numbers to be very small for the first nominal year of production, since you rarely get a full year. It to start in November of 1942, you only get a couple months of production before it's 1943, on top of the production lines ramping up production and resolving issues that arise.

thread_title:  Swapped out image 

message: The information I could find very strongly favours John of Salisbury as the source of the motto, IF it was indeed the motto. The only verifiable link I could find between "quod fere totus mundus exerceat histrionem" and Petronius is in fact in Policraticus. Going by the book European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages (the relevant part, Metaphorics/Theatrical metaphors is not in the preview, but snippet search is available): the exact quote is "quod fere totus mundus iuxta Petronium exerceat histrionem", which could be taken as him quoting Petronius. BUT from the way it's presented it the book, the starting point of his concept of 'theatrum mundi' appears to have been an actual Petronius quote earlier in the text:
"Grex agit in scaena mimum: pater ille vocatur,
filius hic, nomen divitis ille tenet.
Mox ubi ridendas inclusit pagina partes,
vera redit facies, dissimulata perit"
Which makes it far more likely (and the author himself suggests so) that Salisbury is at that point summarising the original Petronius quote in his own words.
The Petronius text (almost) as quoted above is available here in its original context: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:2007.01.0001:text=Satyricon:section=80&highlight=grex+agit%2C. The probable paraphrase by Salisbury isn't. One post in an online discussion quotes Steevens tracing it back to Fragment no. X., but trying to find it in the work linked above lead to no result, whereas there's talk of forged fragments in the introduction of the same: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:2007.01.0057, one set of which was printed in 1692.
Of course, if the motto was a later invention altogether, then it might as well be based on a forged Petronius fragment. Valagai (talk) 14:58, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:ANSYS CFX

message: (copied from article text)
There are no references in this article. It should link to the website and the article of AEA Technology, because it was commercialized by them, before its ANSYS stage. The last version before ANSYS was CFX 5.6. How much did ANSYS paid for CFX? A CFX 5.7 version was released after the purchase, with an interface to the ANSYS environtment, and featuring the ANSYS logo. Then it was fully integrated into the ANSYS Workbench, and was released as ASYS CFX 10. What are its current capabilities? Until which degree it is integrated with Fluent in the ANSYS CFD suite?
CFX is also a type of Power Supply for Computers. I think it means "Compact Form Factor" I noticed them today when looking at BTX Form Factor cases. 
Does anyone have any more information on this to put in Wiki and know how to fix this record and make it look all nice and stuff?
Examples:
http://www.formfactors.org/FFDetail.asp?FFID=14&CatID=2 " The CFX power supply(s) was primarily intended for use with small form factor system designs (10 –15 liters in total system volume)."

Talk:Kaizers Orchestra

message: "They are notable for being among the first non-black metal Norwegian bands or artists singing in their native language to become popular beyond Scandinavia."
Okay, fine, that's a factual true statement, but are they notable for it? I doubt people were saying "wow, have you heard this new band, Kaizers Orchestra, they're non-blacks, they play metal [no, they don't by the way], and it's in Norwegian!" Isn't this a ridiculous (factually correct (apart from the genre)) sentence? They're "notable" for many things, their Norwegian texts MAYBE being one of them, but for being non-blacks? That is just silly. They're one of the most successful bands in Norway's history, period. Isn't that a bit more notable? Fine, if you necessarily want to squeeze in the fact that they write Norwegian lyrics (which hardly is an abnormality in the NORWEGIAN music industry, that's perfectly okay.
