Talk:Shebelle River

message: I'm confused. In 'Lists of Rivers Longer than 1000 km' you put the Shabele River as 2,490 km long. But in the description of the Shabele River, it is stated that the Shabele is 1130 km long. Which one is correct? --04:52, 13 September 2005 207.69.139.149 
And in addition to this fact it can't be possible, that the river is extending for 1000 kilometers inside Ethiopia and 130 inside Somalia, because the distance between the ethiopian-somalian border to the Indik ocean as measured by air-line is only 280 km long.
In the internet you can find the information that the river is 1.820 km long (Ethiopia 920 km; Somalia 900 km). The "Statistical Abstract of Ethiopia for 1967/68", that the Shabele River is 1130 kilometers long, is a stub and schould be deletet.  --84.138.76.160 16:35, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Confusion 

message: At present, this really isn't a very good article. It has a great deal of unsourced assertions (e.g. fault of Knights Hospitaller), factual inaccuracies ("longest siege ever" claim), and confusing aspects (infobox versus article); in fact, it lacks necessary inline citations entirely. Also, the much better Cretan War (1645-1669) article seems to cover the siege pretty well. So what's the best option?
-Delete - Just get rid of it as redundant and low-quality.
-Merge - Use what's available here and elsewhere to provide fuller detail in the aforementioned Cretan War article.
-Improve - Keep the independent Siege of Candia article and bring it up to Wikipedia standards.
I'll leave the article as is for now. If there's not much interest or consensus in the next couple weeks I'll just try to clean it up a little for the short term. Milhisfan (talk) 09:56, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The siege is distinct from the war. The article is indeed not up to scratch, but it deserved a separate existence. I have long wanted to work on it using the sources I used in the Cretan War article, but other commitments have come first, so far. If you can clean the article up and expand it, go ahead!

Talk:Siege of Medina Fort

message: I understand the French article claims that but it seems highly dubious. I get that French financing had a way of disappearing en route to the colonies, but the line didn't open until 1904. The article on the railway itself credits the idea to someone who was barely a teen at the time (our article credits it to an admin in the mid-1870s) and the relevant EB 1911 articles say that the first (swindled) lines and credit were started in 1880. I'm tagging most of the references, but without any source, they should probably be culled entirely. — LlywelynII 13:10, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: There were no German destroyers in ww1. Instead all destroyer like vessels were classified as torpedoboats no matter the size of the vessel.  This leads to some confusion in reading accounts of this and other battles because the terms torpedoboat and destroyer are often used interchanglebly.  The german destroyers sunk in this battle were actually termed torpedo boats by the german navy, but classified as destroyers in enemy recognition guides and the like.

message: From the looks of it, this seems like one of the events in modern history. I mean, think about it, if those ships had not passed though the Dardanelles than they never would have been given to the ottoman empire. if they hadn't been given to the ottomans, than the ottomans would not have been tempted to attack russia and enter the war. If the ottomans had not entered the war, than the British would never have invaded the middle east. If the british had never invaded the middle east and betrayed arab nationalism than the post-colonial nations of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Transjordan would never exist. If the post-colonial borders did not exist there would be no State of Isreal. If there were no state of Isreal there would be no Zionism. If there were no Zionism there would be nothing to Interfere with the creation of an Arab nation. If there was nothing to interfere with the creation of an arab nation than there would be no reason for the Islamic revival. If there were no reason for the islamic revival than there would be no terrorism. If there was no terrorism there would be no September 11th terrorist attacks. If there were no september 11th terrorist attacks there would be no war in Iraq and Afghanistan. If there was no war in Iraq and Afghanistan than there would be no reason for the US to support all of the dictators of th post-colonial nations (Iran & Syria obviously excluded). If the US did not need to support these dictators there would be no need for the Arab Revolutions of 2011.--99.141.193.112 (talk) 20:21, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Long term importance

message: Topic that should be added:  Could the 9.2 inch guns penetrate Goeben's amour at any range?  No they could not have.  It is often and incorrectly stated the WW2 Battle of River Plate vindicated Troubridges' 
court-martial.  The tactical situation was different.  At River Plate both sides ships could penetrate the armour of their opponent.  Additionally a Pocket Battleship is far less formidable opponent than a battlecruiser.  Two WW1 naval battles that are relevant are The Battle of the Falklands and The Battle of Jutland. At the Falklands Scharnhoirst and Gneisnou were unable to penetrate the 7 inch armour of two British battlecruisers.  But the battlecruisers easily penetrated 6 inch amour of German cruisers.  A few months later all but 1 of the same Armoured Cruisers of the 1st Cruiser Squadron were rapidly sunk by German Battlecruisers.  Most likely the Goeben would have just outrun the 19 knot cruisers.  Souchon had orders to deliver his squadron intact to the Ottoman Empire not fight obsolete warships. 97.101.95.246 (talk) 06:40, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
