Talk:Michael Downs

message: Whoever wrote that Earl Campbell "punked" Michael Downs was being unfair; Campbell "punked" a LOT of players, both in college and the pros.
The only season both were in the Southwest Conference would have been the fall of 1977; at that time, Campbell was a senior and Downs was a freshman.  Texas routinely beat Rice back in those days, and to expect a freshman on a weaker team to be able to stop an All-American and eventual Heisman Trophy winner is a bit much.  
Plus, the author of that phrase gives no citation for it; it sounds more like it was written by a UT grad (and I say that as UT grad myself, class of '77).

Talk:General Service Corps

message: I don't think the GSC was formed in 1914.  Officers could be put on the General List in those days but the GSC was not formed until the Second World War. Some confusion may stem from the fact that officers on the General List wore the same badge that was adopted by the GSC. Yet more confusion may come from sites like Ancestry interpreting "GSC" on WWI attestation forms as General Service Corps when in fact it stood for General Service - Cavalry.  GSI was the infantry equivalent.  Apologies for not providing evidence (as short of time) but it won't be hard to find.  Just wanted to get the ball rolling.
STOP PRESS: The reference (currently [2]) used in the article to back up the GSC's supposed foundation in 1914 leads to an Imperial War Museum site about the GSC cap badge.  If read carefully it pretty much says what I've said above.

Talk:Musoma

message: It was proposed by Fsmatovu on 25 April 2012 to merge Musoma Urban District into this article on the city. I am opposed to that merger.  The district articles have a different focus than the city and town articles, and even urban districts often include areas outside of the towns. Putting the two together makes finding information more difficult, and an editor frequently has to make a written distinction between the town and the district. --Bejnar (talk) 19:10, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

message: The information that I have on Gustaf Hammar is fairly sparse.
Gustaf W. Hammar, M.S. University of Idaho, 1924, Ph.D. California Institute of Technology, 1927. (He actually left the campus in August 1926, so I would presume that he finished his dissertation remotely?) His Ph.D. dissertation topic was titled "Magnetic Susceptibilities of Some Common Gases." He headed the physics department at the University of Idaho for 16 years. His achievements while at the University of Idaho include tests of the validity of special relativity. In 1946, he joined the Eastman Kodak Company as a senior supervising physicist with the Navy Ordnance Division. During this period with Kodak, he worked on various military projects including infrared photosensitive cells for use in night-vision gun sights and time-delayed fuses for use in unattended firearms intended to mislead the enemy into believing that large forces of men are concentrated in areas where they actually are not (patents 2547820, 2601135, 2917413, 2958802, 3063862, 3067330). In 1953, he was honored for his research in physics with fellowship in the American Physical Society. Died August 19, 1954.

message: Why is there a heavy need to discredit Bantu indigeneity on the East African coast, thus the insistence of a mythical South Cushitic occupation of the entire coast? For example, Mombasa, a pre eminent Swahili city state is Bantu in origin and founded by a Bantu Queen named Mwana Mkisi. As well, the Shungwaya incident shows the displacement of Bantu groups by Cushites. Displacement here indicates priorBantu settlement that predated Cushites. Also of note is how even the word Cushite was in reference to Nilo Saharan peoples in the Nubian region and their kingdoms i.e. Kerma, Kush and Meroe.

message: Chrome (as of version 45) and Firefox (as of version 52) no longer support an embedded Java environment for online Java applications. For Firefox, there is a work-around to re-enable it which will be blocked in version 53, and even the long-term support release will remove this feature within two years.
This seems to have a huge impact on Java-heavy sites, and outright kill BSW unless they port _everything_ to another language -- which seems insurmountable given the amount of work and their (lack of?) business model.
So what's the verdict? Will BSW just die within the next two years, or has anyone heard of their plans for this future? As far as I can tell, their website hardly even mentions that they use Java in the first place. JanGB (talk) 16:30, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Kotabommali

message: It is believed that the village deity came to this village a hundred years back to protect the village people from diseases ( small pox, cholera, tuberculosis etc were on the raise that time) and the crops from calamities viz floods, heavy rains, drought, fire, theft etc.  
It all happened on a very hot and humid day when the village people were struggling to make their both ends meet due to acute famine, a middle aged lady came to the village and asked one carpenter/blacksmith (both the jobs were performed by that very person) to serve a pot full of water.  To the carpenter's  surprise she drank all the water of the pot and asked him to provided some food as well. As the carpenter's family was passing through the days of their hardship, he denied her the meal by telling her that there was nothing left in the kitchen.  Amazingly she instructed him to bring the "Ambali" (a poor man's diet made of Malt or Ragi) which the carpenter's wife kept for the lunch of her family. The carpenter followed her instructions and served her the meal.  Once the lady finished her lunch, she asked him to show the boundaries of the village.  By now the carpenter started obeying her and took her to a walk around the village.  When they reached the extreme end of the village she told the carpenter that she is the new deity of the village and she came there to protect the people and crops of the village. As soon as she uttered these words she disappeared. The mesmerized and shocked carpenter gathered few rocks and kept them at the place where the deity disappeared to mark it as a holy place. Later the deity is named as Sri Korrammavaru or Kottamma Talli (meaning new deity.  In the present day a beautiful temple stands at that site and every Thursday almost all the village people (and people of nearby villages too) offer their prayers at this temple.v

Rattigan called this piece Before Dawn.  It was a curtain raiser to his more serious effort In Praise of Love (1973).  Before Dawn was one of the worst things he ever wrote, and it was panned by the critics.  I'd be very surprised to hear it was ever revived, and in Italy moreover.

Talk:Heligoland–Zanzibar Treaty

message: The lemma "Heligoland-Zanzibar treaty" is besides the point. This was not the name of the agreement, even it it has been called this way.
"Vertrag zwischen Deutschland und England über die Kolonien und Helgoland vom 1. Juli 1890" (=Treaty between Germany and England about the colonies and Heligoland) is a correct German name, in the text itself we can see "agreement after deliberating on various issues pertaining to the colonial interests of Germany and Great Britain".
Heligoland was a side topic. The point was to agree on demarcation of zones of interest in Africa in ordre to avoid competiton and clashes in the colonies. Moreover "Heligoland-Zanzibar treaty" gives the impression as if claims to these two islands have been exchanged. That was in fact the criticism by German nationalists at that time. But that had no base in reality. The British gave up the island of Heligoland whcih they had in reality, the Germans gave up the protectorate over Witu which they had acquired on paper so far. And they gave up claims from agreements which had so far not yet materialzed about Zanzibar and Uganda. The articles reflects very little of the content.  The text is available in English here: http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/sub_document.cfm?document_id=782 (obvious typo on page 2: it shows "In Southwest Africa, Great Britain's sphere of influence is demarcated thus" where it must be "In East Arica...")

The name for the ward is Dunda, which is a small urban ward that is surrounded by another considerable larger ward (with mixed urban & rural population) named Magomeni. The smallest administrative unit I can find with the name Bagamoyo is the district as a whole. My sources is 2002 Census results, village statistics tables and ILRI, shapefile map of Tanzania wards. So, what is it - Bagamoyo or Dunda?
