Talk:Anglo-Ottoman Convention of 1913

message: Reference the article "Anglo-Ottoman Convention of 1913"
1) the external link http://lexicorient.com/e.o/angl_tr_ottoman.htm appears to be exactly the same text as the article
2) the external link http://www.kuwait-info.org/borders.html doesn't work
3) It refers to the convention being declared "null and void" but doesn't specify by whom and on what basis.
4) I am also confused by the statement "However it was the issue over the status of Kuwait that came to be the only long-lived result, as its outcome was formal independence for Kuwait"
The article states that the Convention recognised "the autonomous caza of the city of Kuwait and the hinterlands".  There is a link on caza which defines it as "territorial subdivision of a country".
I take that to mean that Kuwait was considered a subdivision of the Ottoman Empire as the to be ruler was a sub-govenor under the Ottomans.
Then the Convention was declared null and void (by whom?) and Britian declared Kuwait independant.
I fail to follow the logic that the Convention recognised Kuwait as a subdivision, the Convention was declared void, Britian declare Kuwait independant, therefore "its outcome was formal independence for Kuwait".
Sorry if this is the wrong place to pose such remarks and questions.

Talk:Nuclear depth bomb

message: who invented the depth bomb?
:Depends what you mean - try here: Depth charge. Ian Dunster 11:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: Claim that deep-diving makes submarines safer from nuclear depth charges (implied detonated nearer to the surface) is the opposite of the truth. Lots of evidence to support that. Editor needs to provide some evidence of the claim, and that would not be possible. George.Hutchinson (talk) 14:26, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree - I would have thought that the opposite is true, the extra depth just increases the stress on the hull to the point of making it more vulnerable to an explosion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.253.207 (talk) 20:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As someone who was trained to hunt Soviet Nuclear submarines I would offer the following;  The Soviets built fast and deep diving attack submarines because the US ability to detect Soviet submarines far exceeded their ability to keep them silent when underway.  Therefore an attempt was made to give their subs the ability to dive away at high speed from a torpedo launched at them from other subs, aircraft and ships.  The Soviet difficulty in making stealthy submarines that could avoid detection is further reflected in the Typhoon class SSBNs that were built in the early 80s.  This huge submarine was designed to operate under the polar caps since detection by means of passive and active sonar was difficult because of the way sound tends to bounced between the bottom of the ice and the sea bottom.  Nuclear depth bombs would not have been used against attack submarines specifically, but against missle carrying types.  Soviet Naval doctrine usually called for an attack boat to accompany an SSBN on its patrol to protect it from US attack subs and to ward off the possibility of a "Red October" type of defection scenario by the missle boat captain.  So, the use of a  nuclear depth bomb probably would have resulted in a kill on both the SSBN and its shadowing SSN.  The use of such weapons was possible by surface ships equiped with variants of the ASROC system and by subs employing SUBROC and certain specially equiped aircraft and helicopters.  Generally, surface ships and submarines would be able to launch such weapons from a safe distance.  Fixed wing aircraft like the P-3 Orion could also reach a safe distance before detonation of the device.  It was questionable whether the H-3 or SH-2 helicopters would be as survivable given their slower airspeeds.  They would not be disabled by the blast but by the EMP pulse that attenuates the detonation of any nuclear device.  But, in the calculus of war expending a helicopter and its respective 3 or 4 man crew for two Soviet submarines is a bargain if it comes down to using a NDB.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.58.81.42 (talk) 21:48, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Gundagai editors

message: So often we forget that we all descended from the same group of fewer people than would fill the average professional football stadium.  The "aborigines" got to Australia first, and their European cousins came in later.  The aborigines remember over the many years a painful event that happened generations ago in a vague area of land.   It is the nature of humans to let their traumatic places of memory free again into the wild: Machu Pichu, Troy, the Garden of Eden, Olduvai Gorge, Coolac, . . . .   Some of them were found again; some were not.  An Australian environmental impact report characterized the Gundagai site this way: "The exact location of the possible Aboriginal massacre site could not [be] determined."  (at 36).  And I thank User:NuclearUmpf's Update for starting me on this train of thought.  So as technology reunites us on more and more projects, can we find a place for aboriginal citations?  --which surely are the most ancient citation WP:V and WP:RS methods that we have in common.  Perhaps Wikibooks would do.  And of course, we may find some Wikipedia variety of WP:V and WP:RS along the way if we are patient.  What do you think?  --Rednblu 05:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi,
First of all thanks to everyone for the work put in to this page so far. I just added a  tag in the section  Flow-line design method. The section does not actually describe the Flow-Line method which is based on the flow lines in 6 dimensional phase space. Instead, it repeats the ideas of the Edge Ray principle and provides examples which should go into a separate section.
Also I think that the Edge Ray principle should be moved under the Design Methods header. All in all it seems that the whole theory section needs some restructuring.
