Talk:Lithium soap

message: I came here to find out the difference between "generic" and "white" lithium grease.  Are they the same thing?  Maybe someone can supply the knowledge? :)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schmeditator (talk • contribs) 17:13, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I am no expert, but my readings indicate that many formulatons of lithium soaps are used.  One popular one involves lithium soaps mixed with molybdenum disulfide, which is black.  So maybe this is the reason that there are non-white lithium greases.  MoS2 is a lubricant (slippery) but not a grease (thixotrophic).  According to Ullmann's Encyclopedia MoS2-lithium greases are recommended for more rugged applications.  If you get any insights or sources, leave a note here. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:52, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is white lithium grease? 

message: Clearly lithium soap redirects to lithium grease or the reverse, but for some reason I can't find either redirect link. Neither one shows. What's doing on?? It's not that I object to there being one article (although these are not quite the same thing). What I object to, is a redirect page that is invisible. Could some admin tell me what gives?

message: The "Lithium Soap" article (section "Lithium Grease") says that Lithium Grease is water resistant.
The "Lubricating Grease" article (section "Engineering assessment and analysis of greases") says it is not.

message: Countries such as Guatemala and Costa Rica are in Central America, which is itself part of North America. See the Wikipedia article about North America — it lists the various countries of Central America as being within North America. The Encyclopedia Britannica (https://www.britannica.com/place/Central-America) says "Central America, southernmost region of North America, lying between Mexico and South America and comprising Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Belize." So should these 7 countries be included in the template? LumaP15 (talk) 01:49, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: These are lists of birds, so when I reversed your Guatemala addition I was using the American Ornithological Society's geography, which distinguishes Middle America from North America.

Talk:Francis V, Duke of Modena

message: : In 1859 the Duchy of Modena was invaded by armies of France and Piedmont. On 14 June, Francis fled. On 18 March 1860, King Victor Emanuel II of Sardinia ordered Modena to be incorporated into the new kingdom of Italy. Francis protested it four days later.
This is a puzzling passage.  Did the invasion precede or follow the "order" to incorporate?  Did Francis protest four days after the order, four days after the invasion, or four days after he fled? —Tamfang (talk) 07:43, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Francis, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld

message: Franz Frederick is considered as the largest collecting tank of books and graphics under the dukes of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (later Gotha). He put the basic stick for a copper pass collection with 300.000 graphics in 1775, which can be visited today on the Veste Coburg

thread_title: Bad translation?

message: It seems to me that the marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would have been illegal in the United States. I understood they were cousins, but until looking specifically at this page, it wasn't entirely clear just how closely related they were. They were first cousins. Her mother and his father were sister and brother. In my opinion, the fictional suggestion in the PBS/ITV series, Victoria, of Leopold's possible involvement with Louise after her divorce from Ernst, should be the least offensive relationship of concern to Albert. I applaud the current members of the Windsor family - descendants of Victoria and Albert - for introducing new lineages to their blood line. Kelelain (talk) 03:44, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Francisco José Debali

message: (message copied from Kraxler's talk page)
I am referring to my change made in the article "Debály Ferenc József" which you deleted because of the lack of reference.
First of all your reference is also a Hungarian-language source which is completely wrong. 
If Debály had been an "Austrian subject", he could not have been born in "Oltenia" which was NOT part of the Habsburg Monarchy at the time Debály was born.
(See the history of Oltenia in Wikipedia)
The second and more important reason is that the name "Kinséen" is a corrupt form whose origin the author was unable to find.
However, there is a village in today's Romania, at that time Transilvania, called Chinteni (in Hungarian Kajántó) which had a Hungarian majority population before WW1.
Chinteni is pronounced in Romanian with dropping the "i" at the end making it sound like "khinten"
Also there are several sources confirming that Debály is from "Transilvania" which is clearly different from "Oltania".
Here is one for instance:
http://epa.oszk.hu/00600/00674/00038/pdf/00038a.pdf
On page 4 middle column it says, "the melody of the anthem of Uruguay was written by a 'man from Transilvania' Debály Ferenc
József"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hhgygy (talk • contribs) 18:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, Hhgygy! Thank you for your interest in the article, and for your message. There are several problems with your statements, though. Although I personally think that your proposed identification of "Kinséen" as modern Chinteni is quite likely to be correct, there is still no source that actually says so. Every source on Debali says something different: that he was from Wallachia, Oltenia, Transilvania, Hungarian, Austrian subject etc. The only reliable source I found was this book in Hungarian which quotes from Debali's original passport (or the pertinent files in Hungary) which he used when he left the Austrian Empire in 1829. It is certain that Debali was an Austrian subject, since his first names were the names of the Austrian emperor, and foreigners would not christen their children on these names. The book says "Olahorszag"; contrary to Wikipedia's history of Oltenia, I have found sources that say that Oltenia was occupied by Austrian forces shortly before Debali's birth, and with the patriotic fisrt names, I imagine he was the son of some member of the Austrian military forces. On the other side, Oltenia might have had a slightly different area than today, which included Chinteni. Your "source" mentioned above is a newsletter issued in 2008, so the author might have copied his info from an earlier version of the Wiki article, and it does not mention Chinteni. Anyway, there is no proof either way. All we can do is dig deeper into the sources... I will rewrite the article to take all this into account. Kraxler (talk) 19:52, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter

message: This English Wikipedia article should be rightly named "François Honoré Jacob"; the hyphens should be nixed, unless editors choose "François Honoré Jacob-Desmalter" (last name properly hyphenated in English).  Also, similar to Spanish naming customs, it is customary in French to refer to people with hyphenated last names by the first (father's) name alone.  Finally, Jacob was probably never called "Georges" in his life.  It has no place here, except as bio info.
For clarity:
French, when he was alive: François-Honoré Jacob </br>
French, since his death: François-Honoré-Jacob </br>
English: François Honoré Jacob </br>
(append a "-Desmalter" to any of the above, if you insist.)

thread_title:  Comment on Bach's Chaconne? 

message: The following statement in the article is false: "This Strobach (fl. 1650-1720) served Leopold I, and there is no evidence that Fetis's score is a hoax. The composition was published in 1698, although no copy is known to have survived, except Fetis' manuscript score, which is in the Royal Conservatory Library in Brussels." This view has been thoroughly repudiated by scholars, the piece is indeed a hoax and Strobach is a fictional composer invented by Fétis. See pages 104-106 of Peter Holman's article "Early Music in Victorian England: The Case of the 1845 Concert" published in the journal Ad Parnassum 4(8), 2006 (pg. 81-114)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1017:B024:E46A:F1BE:60B2:AFAD:FE05 (talk) 15:02, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

For a couple of them (the last two, for 1806) I have identified possible sources in the Ephemerides Astronomicae, but the titles are not identical, and these could be separate articles or reports that have been summarised in the Ephemerides.
