message: The article contrasts 7Up's lemon-lime flavor with dnL's citrus flavor.  But lemons and limes are citrus fruits, so it doesn't make much sense.  Can anyone say more specifically what citrus flavor dnL had?  Was it, say, orange and pineapple?  -- Coneslayer 21:19, 2005 August 2 (UTC)
:It's a soda thing. "Citrus soda" means a tangy yellow-green soda, while "lemon-lime soda" means a crisp clear soda. Neither of the flavors resembles any real fruit in any serious way, though Surge contained natural orange flavor...
::I agree -- it's a common soda thing. 7 Up and Sprite and others have branded themselves as Lemon-Lime Sodas, while Mountain Dew and Mello Yello brand as Citrus Sodas. (Regular Fresca perhaps brands as a Grapefruit Soda.) dnL competes with Mountain Dew and its rivals -- hence dnL is a Citrus Soda. Citrus Sodas are often characterized by cloudy yellow(-green) color, high sugar content, high caffeine content, and inclusion of concentrated orange juice (and BVO). There is no pineapple. There is real orange juice, but describing Mountain Dew et al. as orange flavored is misinformative: "Orange Soda" is yet another brand-associated soda convention that doesn't resemble real fruit in any serious way (e.g. Sunkist, Orange Crush, Minute Maid Orange Soda). --Brokenfixer 18:40, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Make a decision: do you want to translate the title "Zeitschrift für Südtiroler Landeskunde" in English? I don't care either way, but if you translate it, you have to do it according to the naming conventions, that is: "Places should generally be referred to consistently using the same name as in the title of their article". I'll put the correct translation if you don't mind.--Supparluca 10:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Naming Convention does not apply in this case: read the link you provided - it talks about "Geographical items" and "Places". This is a proper name which does not need to be changed. Also the "Südtiroler" in the subtitle does not refer to the area, but to the culture - the South Tyrolean culture, meaning the culture of the German population of the area. So changing the magazines subtitle is a) not required b) is factually wrong. --noclador (talk) 11:05, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Gran Sasso d'Italia

message: The text has: "Gran Sasso d'Italia (or Great Stone of Italy)." It's true that one of the meanings of "sasso" is "stone", "pebble" etc., but another meaning is "crag, cliff or mountain", especially a very rugged or rocky mountain. (The Dizionario Treccani states: "Rupe; parete rocciosa, scoscesa e nuda, di un monte, e il monte stesso, quando si presenta roccioso.) So "Gran Sasso" is much closer in meaning to "Rocky Mountains" than "Great Stone of Italy", which is a very poor translation. I removed it.Campolongo (talk) 09:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Most of this article is superficial and wrong. It doesn't even begin to explain how the process actually worked and what it could achieve. One of the defining characteristics of the original benday process as used into the 1940's is that the pattern (not necessarily dots) could be varied considerably by the technician, using an adjustable frame, repeated applications with slight registration changes and varying pressure in the application stylus. In skilled hands it was an extremely sophisticated process, yielding continuous-tone effects, and not that far removed in principle from pressure-sensitive tablet technology today.
For details, see this extremely detailed blog series:

Talk:Destined to Witness

message: "Considering this and the Nazi’s obsession to exterminate all non-Aryans, it is almost unbelievable that Hans Massaquoi had never suffered serious persecution"
I seriously doubt that the NAZI had a plan to exterminate all non-Ayrans. Hitler's elite Waffen-SS unit for instance employed whole divisions of non-aryans. I also never heard of any Hitler order to search for and round up all blacks Rommel could find during the North Africa campaign. To sum it up: can anybody provide a source for such a claim or is it just wild speculation on part of the author?
From what I understand the NAZIs essentially employed a racial segregation policy towards blacks which shunned them from membership in certain organization and most importantly didn't allow them to date white Germans. But other than in case of the Jews there never was an intent to exterminate all blacks.
: I don't think they wanted to exterminate all non-aryans worldwide, but they surely wanted to do so in Germany. Black people in Germany were mostly sterilized. -- 62.178.137.27 (talk) 16:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  NAZI policy to exterminate all non-Aryans? 

message: I deleted the following part of the article:
" Until the 1970s they were called Neger (negro), and it was not considered derogatory."
"Neger" has always been a derogatory term, as you can read in the German Wikipedia entry: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neger .  Before racialism became popular, people with black skin were generally called "Mohr". Not all German-speakers are aware of that fact and some think that "Neger" wasn't originally derogatory, but that's wrong.
"When immigration from Africa grew, discussion about the “N word” grew as well." I don't think there is any proof for this claim.
"Today people from black Africa are called Africans, omitting the fact that Arabs also live on the African continent." There is no generally accepted term (and, sadly enough, many still say "Neger").

Talk:Nanking Safety Zone

message: Definitely a good start to the article. Points for improvement:
*References: There were several places marked in the text. There are several places in the text that aren't marked that need citations, but the next contributor should be able to catch those.
*Coverage: Many aspects of Nanjing around the Safety Zone are covered, but text on the Safety Zone itself is somewhat weak. The text alludes to many atrocities, but only in terms of repetition not variety. In other words, the article says that the Japanese troops came at night, marched people away and raped and/or executed the people they took. And while that IS quite terrible, I somehow thought there was more to it than that. 
* Are there any personal accounts that can be quoted that give examples of how the Safety Zone helped them?
* The article isn't even clear how the foreigners helped the Chinese civilians, except by setting up the Safety Zone. Surely they did more.
I realize this is a contentious issue. I hope everybody involved can remain civil, refrain from personal attacks, and stick to credible sources. Good luck to the next contributor. Boneyard90 (talk) 20:08, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I see contradictory statements about the safety zone area in the artice:
"The Westerners who remained behind established the Nanking Safety Zone, which was composed of a score of refugee camps that occupied an area of about 3.4 square miles (8.6 square kilometers). The Safety Zone was bordered by roads on all four sides, and had an area of approximately 3.86 km², with 25 refugee camps centred around the U.S. Embassy. This is approximately the same size as Central Park in New York."
It seems that the 3.86 km² Nanking Safety Zone was formed from the refugge camps area that initially comprised 8.6 km², but this must be clearly stated in the article. Mazarin07 (talk) 11:27, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
