Talk:Pont Saint-Bénézet

message: In fact people would have danced beneath the bridge (sous le pont) where it crossed a river island (the Ile de Barthelasse) on its way to Villeneuve. The island was (and still is) a popular recreation spot, where pleasure gardens once stood and folk dancing was a popular pastime for many years. The bridge itself is far too narrow to have accommodated dancers.
Says who? The bridge looks perfectly danceable to me. One could conga across it easily for example. If you have evidence that people didn't dance or a scholarly work that suggests this may be the case, by all means quote it. Otherwise please remove this subjective opinionated piece of wikiality. -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.162.64.167 (talk) .
:Have you actually visited the bridge? I have, and I can tell you it's not only narrow, but you'd probably break your leg if you tried to dance on it - it's paved with rather uneven cobbles. I've added a reference to the article, anyway. -- ChrisO 17:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone have definitive knowledge on this or is there, in reality, no correct final answer? BTW, the 'Michelin Guide' gives 2 é (Bénézet) and many saints lists give no é at all!

message: I've reverted edits to the lead that added details of a bridge that was destroyed in 1226 during the Albigensian crusade. Almost nothing is known about this earlier bridge, but it is believed to have been constructed of wood as a wooden bridge is mentioned in a letter of 1226 - see Footnote a. This fits with its rapid construction. Note also that the Île de la Barthelasse did not exist at the time; the number and positions of the islands in the Rhone have changed over the centuries (as an example see the 1575 print in the article). I've added back the year of the Albigensian crusade in the lead (and also corrected my 1236 typo in a note) - Aa77zz (talk) 13:06, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Foster's reactance theorem

message: Odd that for the formulator of this theorem, a function such as x/(1-x^2) is considered to be increasing (for the range x>0). Won't this lead to difficulties in the application of the theorem to situations where values are being compared? 84.227.254.143 (talk) 10:02, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think you can use Foster's theorem in that way (comparing two discrete measurements) to determine if the network is a Foster network or not.  Clearly, it will fail if there is a pole between the two measurements.  One must have knowledge of the sign of the slope of the function across the whole frequency range. SpinningSpark 13:24, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There might be another way to formulate it that won't lead to initial confusion. There's a hint of this in the reference to going clockwise in a Smith diagram -- the monotonicity is really a kind of "around the clock" phase monotonicity, like for tan(x). Not being familiar with the field, I wonder if there is a formulation that draws on the specialist literature, but would also satisfy literalists. Perhaps simply "except when crossing poles"? 84.227.254.143 (talk) 15:54, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Same here - I was in 5 SAI in 1981 and was also issued with a new R4 in July.
: I did my National Service in 1979-1980.  We were issued with the R4 in late 1980, probably around September.  We had problems with it, though.  There was nothing wrong with it, but all our training had been on the R1, and we simply weren't used to it, and were facing immediate further operational duties.  We handed them back in and were re-issued with R1s for the rest of the service. It was obvious, though, that the next year's intake would be issued with them, as most of the instructors were already using them. Kmasters0 (talk) 15:34, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Ohio State Route 241

message: 241 used to enter Massillon from the southwest; it now turns east then enters downtown from the south. I found the EIS and a newspaper article from 1983 about the then-proposed relocation but then nothing else about the reroute until 2015 (that article states that it was relocated sometime in the previous 100 years, no help). The change didn't show up on the Ohio DOT map until 2019, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the reroute happened between 2015, that date of the prior map, and 2019, only that the map was adjusted. The implication is that it happened closer to 2015 than 1983, but the lack of search results including from local media has me stumped. Mapsax (talk) 00:46, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

It may be the author confused Walcheren with the Duke of York's "ill=fated" campaign in Flanders and Holland.
There was no Walcheren Expedition of 1794 as such. In September 1794 an expedition was sent under the command of Major General Lord Mulgrave in order to occupy the Dutch province Zealand. The force concentrated at Flushing on Walcheren where Lord Mulgrave was ordered home and the 78th, 79th, 80th, 84th, and 85th Regiments were sent to join the Duke of York's army which at that point, having been forced to withdraw from Flanders in the summer, was pulling back behind the river Waal at Nijmegen.

Anticipating the need to fight tanks in an urban landscape, they designed a bomb that would make minimal collateral damage.

Do we really need something like a translated Russian manual for this gun in order to say that the grenade launcher and suppressor can't be fitted together on the Groza? I thought that just by looking at the photos of the Groza that it's clear the two accessories can't be fitted on the Groza at the same time, because each would obstruct the other.
