replies: text:  You might not be able to assess every aspect if a vehicle is not used in war, but you can say a lot from practice use, like is the engine strong enough, are all the systems reliable or prone to failure, is it ergonomically easy to use or awkward and difficult, is maintenance easy or difficult and so on. The soldiers using it are generally quite happy with it, that also says something. And the use in Afghanistan couldn't solely decide about it being good or bad either. For example, in Afghanistan, the soldiers really missed air condition, but mind that it was build for the central european battlefield, where ac is unnecessary, so this can't be judged as a shortcoming of the design.--79.194.242.185 (talk) 21:57, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

message: I have corrected two mistakes. 
There is only one hatch at the turret, not two. 
And the Marder got four reverse gears. This is some kind of unusual. All other german tanks, i.e. Leopard and Leopard 2, got only two. But the Marder has four. Just as an information, this also means, the speed forward and reverse is the same. This makes the Marder reverse faster than the MBTs. 87.179.71.216 (talk) 20:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Marvel

message: I've started going through all the links to 'Marvel', but am encountering some problems. Mainly, when a page refers to Marvel referring to the Marvel Company, but then stating thecharacter involved, which would be the best site to use? For example, the mavel in "Rom the Spaceknight, a Galadorian spaceknight from the Marvel universe" would most likely link to the Marvel Family site, but it could also be the Marvel Company site. A more ambigious example would be "...Peter Benjamin Parker and a Marvel Comics superhero created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, ...". For this, i would imagine linking to the Marvel Comics page is best, but it is also directly referencing the Marvel Family. Its all very confusing... -Trjn 14:21, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: It is doubtful that any Loyalist organisation can be accurately described as "left-wing", and the use of this term is misleading. The PUP's links with the UVF should argue against the use of such terminology. It would be more accurate to state that within the context of a Unionist ideology the PUP has a populist orientation and draws its support largely from working-class and plebeian elements of the Protestant community.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.221.51.202 (talk) 12:41, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Example? 

message: I just read something about this, but its not the definition shown... It has something to do with anagrams and mysticism; for example:
Polite = Plot to Lie /
Good Manners = Man as Good as God
Politeness is decieving, but good manners are not.  Doesn't make too much sense I guess...

Talk:SDP–Liberal Alliance

message: Curiously, while researching for information about a May 1987 local election, I've noticed the South Wales Echo political reporter refers to the "Alliance Party". The people who are standing as the Alliance Party are the same people, as a whole, who stand as Liberal Democrats in subsequent elections. Was the "Alliance Party" a common way of referring to the SDP-Liberal Alliance? If so, maybe it should be mentioned in the intro for this article. Sionk (talk) 11:42, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Six Gallery article 

message: Respectfully, I would like to contest this statement: "The Six Gallery, founded by Jack Spicer" that appears in this article.  Please note the following:
In 1954, Wally Hedrick co-founded The Six Gallery in San Francisco, California with David Simpson, Hayward King, John Allen Ryan, Deborah Remington and Jack Spicer...", reference: Smithsonian Archives of American Art: Oral History Interview With Wally Hedrick At His Home, San Geronimo, California, June 10, 1974. Wally Hedrick: "...We had this group which was made up of the original six of the Six Gallery: myself, Deborah Remington, John Ryan the poet, Jack Spicer the poet, Hayward King, and David Simpson. That's the six."
Given this source, perhaps it would be better to say, "The Six Gallery was founded by Wally Hedrick, David Simpson, Hayward King, John Allen Ryan, Deborah Remington and Jack Spicer."

Talk:Luboš Kohoutek

message: The sentence "In later years Kohoutek worked in observatories in Spain and Chile."  is misleading: nowadays astronomers travel to big observatories in e.g. Spain or Chile while still actually working at their home institution, which in Kohoutek's case is still (or was until his retirement) the observatory in Hamburg.
:The question is, was he physically present at the observatories for an extended time (perhaps a year) while on sabbatical but retaining affiliation with his home institution, or did he just travel there for the duration of an observation session.  I don't know, and it seems perhaps too minor a point to research it.  Perhaps the original author of the sentence can let us know. -- Curps 17:29, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps

message: The Blue Knights show because does in fact use the song Apres Moi originally written by Regina Spektor but the version of the song that they used for their arrangement was the cover of the song done by Peter Gabriel.

I am putting this in the talk section because I am not sure what the protocol is for changing something like this.
