message: Article currently reads They are made of an alloy (mixture of iron, copper, and gold) mixed with bronze. Bronze is itself an alloy of copper and other element(s), most often mostly tin but many other metals and non-metals are used. So, is what is being described here an alloy of iron, copper, tin and gold? Or is there another meaning? And in what rough proportions? If the copper is the base, as seems likely, then it's probably a type of bronze. Andrewa (talk) 04:45, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The article lionizes Bazaine, which is by no means the unanimous verdict of history.   "There was practically no chance of success. The question was one of extricating the army and the government from a disastrous adventure, and Bazaine's solution of it was to bring back his army to Metz"??? GMAFB.  Geoffrey Wawro's well-received history of the Franco-Prussian War will not support this conclusion -- Bazaine repeatedly did his best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The problem appears to be a definite bias in the Britannica author -- the article doesn't draw on more recent sources.

message: Can we get a source for this?  I'm pretty sure there's some confusion here, since, as far as I know, Andre Breton and the other Surrealists generally considered Les Chants de Maldoror by the Comte de Lautreamont to be the first Surrealist text, a book that just so happens to take a lot of influence from Melmoth.

message: Regarding the below section moved here. It is an indiscriminate list of people or things named "Melmoth". It is original research to say they have anything to do with the novel.

If there are relevant entries here that are directly related to the novel, and can be discussed in a way that makes them notable, than please re-add to the article in non-list prose format, saying why they are important to the novel, with citations.

Talk:Bouré

message: Nice job on the merge. I give it my full approval. I won't have time to add any edits until life slows down a bit, but here are a couple of points to consider:
1.) Use the Bourré spelling as the title, since we have that Bourré book, and the "National Cajun Bourré Association" whoever they are, as the primary reference. They will presumably or have already come up with a set of standardized rules for Standard Tournament Bourré. Eliminate the "boo-ray" nickname for our own profit, if some folks can't pronounce it, you'll know who to invite over to play! (I guy I know swears this happened to him: he stumbled across a game of boo-rah in Idaho, had the friendly Idahoanese teach him the game, and he went home with all of their money! He LOVES Boo-rah!)
:I'd /love/ to eliminate that spelling, actually, but I cannot, alas.  I've seen it on posters--yea, an actual poster, this one fromBudweiser, a spoof on Dogs Playing Poker with them playing "Boo-Ray."  I loathe it, but it is used.  As for 'Bouré' vs. 'Bourré,' I much prefer the former, but I guess if some random jack^H^H^H^Hpeople published a book with that name it's about as close as we're gonna get to corroboration (see below), so I'll move this page there.
2.) Continue the description of the various alternate rules, such as pot-limit, etc. I'd bet that if we looked up card games in an 1870's encyclopedia or copy of Hoyles, we'd find that many games have evolved. So we should continue to describe these variations, so that they aren't lost, then we can describe Tournament Bourré as one variation of the many.
:Agreed.  The only problem with this is corroboration.  No one's whacked our fingers with a ruler yet, but I suspect it's because A) they haven't cared to find the pages or B) we're Members in Good Standing enough to get into trouble.  That said, I'd love to come across a secret-until-now published history of the damn game!
3.) I don't like the following phrase associated with 'nice play', " Even this is unclear however, as Bouré is a game with imperfect information." Your statement is true, but my objection is that in any game, this argument occurs only once, and never among familiar players in a standing game. The paragraph correctly describes the variation, but the final sentence implies that people might not know the rules they are playing by. I might rewrite this sentence first.
:I'll ponder this.  I see what you mean, but it's something that's important--it's impossible to really know how to screw the other players maximally, and my grandmother (dear old lady that she is) will call renege on some of the craziest damn hands.  I had to play theFour of Diamonds?  Surely ye jest, madame!  But we let her roll with it, cos she's an old lady who's been playing Bouré since before my parents were out of nappies.
I have no objection to this merge, so you can make it official. RPellessier | Talk 03:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Louis-Nicolas Davout

message: An unregistered contributor wrote the following: "At Krasnoe on 17 November Davout was held to have deserted Ney and smudged his reputation as a leader in battle.". I did not find any serious reference of this on the Internet and in fact found many elements which contradict this assertion. For instance:
"The Russian army had outflanked the French and barred passage at Krasnoi. Napoleon called upon Davout and the Young Guard to hold a line that drove off Kutuzov's 50,000 troops. Marshall Ney's corps, reduced to 9,000 men, formed the rear-guard. In the desperate attempt to fend off the Russians, his troops were decimated to only 800 men. In one month of fighting, the Russians had captured 90,000 men and 500 cannons." (http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~jrubarth/gslis/lis385t.16/Napoleon/Krasnoi.html)
