Talk:Seille (Moselle)

message: I performed the translation entirely from fr:Seille (rivière). This river is in Lorraine. Please do NOT confuse this river with the other river in France called the Seille, in Saône. I plan on translating fr:Seille (Saône) as well, and putting it under the same name here in EN. That will, however, have to wait.
I'm not sure about a couple of my phrases... "bassin de crue" became "flood basin", and a couple more. They are all marked with  tags in the article's source. Also, sometimes the text was slightly rearranged, such as the eutrophication statement in the flora and fauna section.
Enjoy the article! --Storkk 15:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: translation complete

message: I think that there should be a pronunciation note, as most English speakers will intuitively mispronounce it. Unfortunately, I'm extremely rusty with my IPA. It should be (very roughly) pronounced similar to the English word "say" except that the 'y' is more evident in Seille -- in other words, there's a very slight schwa at the end of the word. If anyone could help with that, it would be appreciated. --Storkk 19:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I am intrigued about his being described as 'too crippled' to throw anything. Was he disabled in limbs? It would be a feat for him to travel apparently alone and to carry on a manual trade if he were crippled physically. Also the article would benefit if information could be provided on when and where he was apprehended, and to whom he made the initial confession, the only clue on timing being that he reportedly arrived in England two days after the fire started. Court records would surely have depositions by the people who arrested or witnessed him.Cloptonson (talk) 21:00, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

:In the sprint, the objective is to finish ahead of the other rider(s). Times (normally timed over the final 200m) are important when used for qualifying purposes. Paul W (talk) 11:14, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I just saw this type of sprint on the Olympics (where they start slow). It makes me laugh. Some of us want to know the history and evolution of this "tactic." Any info that someone could write up on how exactly this became how they raced? I'm assuming when the sport first started, they went all out sprint until the tactics evolved into this slow-mo beginning, right? Dancindazed (talk) 05:41, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: When the sport first started, it was rarely a two-up head-to-head, but could have as many as eight riders. The race tactics when there are more riders is that the race goes quicker from the beginning. In the 1908 Olympics there was already a time limit for the event (1min45 for 1000m), suggesting the riders were going very slow at some events beforehand and a time limit had to be put in place to make the event watchable for spectators. There is now only a time limit for track stands (i.e. stopping). The 1924 Olympics is the first one at which we have last 200m times recorded and the 1928 Olympics the first in which two-rider contests are the norm from the knock-out stages onwards. It is likely that as soon as the racing become two-up, the riders started by going slow. SeveroTC 07:43, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Coconut Shy on Neopets

message: My copy of The Story of the Treasure Seekers by E. Nesbit (apparently also aka The adventures of the treasure seekers) says "First Published 1899". 
From Chapter 12 (online at http://classicreader.com/read.php/bookid.138/sec.12/kw.coconut/ ), 
"We had several ideas about that time, but having so little chink [money] always stood in the way.
This was the case with H. O.'s idea of setting up a coconut-shy on this side of the Heath, where there are none generally. We had no sticks or wooden balls, and the greengrocer said he could not book so many as twelve dozen coconuts without Mr Bastable's written order. And as we did not wish to consult my Father it was decided to drop it."
Author Nesbit apparently assumes that this term will be familiar to children without additional explanation. Can anybody confirm or disconfirm the date of this as 1899? -- Writtenonsand 23:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps bit like Lloyd George, who, by the 1920s when he had become a bit of figure of fun, was often portrayed as a midget in cartoons (accompanied by pheasant and mangold wurzel sniggering at him). Napoleon would be a similar example: some historians insist he was of average height for the time, but he seems to have been regarded as a bit on the short side - this was exaggerated in British cartoons which portrayed him as an evil midget.

Murray also signed his autographed photos with the play on words, "re-cordially yours".
