Talk:Ukrainian Ye

message: Can this ever be more than a stub!!!!????? Peter Shearan 16:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it has a history (it's derived from an Old Cyrillic letter, which in turn is derived from somewhere else), it probably has a few typographic and handwritten variant forms, it takes part in at least one ligature, in the Ukraine it's probably used as an abbreviation for things, it has at least 6 different systems of being transliterated into the Latin alphabet, it would have various representations in other communication systems (braille, morse code, etc), it probably has numerological significance... I don't actually know the details of these things, but someone who did could write an article. --Ptcamn 18:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The reference to use of Є for "Greek epsilon" has moved to this page: https://european-union.europa.eu/institutions-law-budget/euro/design_en ... but this is really trivia or a simple mistake, so I have removed the following from the article.
In a memorandum from the European Commission on the design of the euro sign, Ukrainian Ye was used to represent the Greek letter Epsilon. (ref) cite web "How to use the euro name and symbol" European Commission – Economic and Financial Affairs
I sent a report of the error with the "feedback" tool on the EU page, but it seems to be anonymous, so I will get no feedback, and I am sure they are not interested in correcting errors. Imaginatorium (talk) 04:11, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Е, Є, and Э are all based on letterforms from the early Cyrillic alphabet, where they were to some degree interchangeable, and ultimately from Greek epsilon.

Talk:Alexander Calder

message: The article currently says the following:
:This sculpture is notable for being the first public work of art in the United States to be funded with federal monies; acquired with funds granted from the then new National Endowment for the Arts under its “Art for Public Places” program.
This is certainly incorrect. Consider, for instance, the murals that were painted as part of the Works Progress Administration/Public Works of Art Project in the 1930s. Our article on the Public Works of Art Project talks about a sculpture at Griffith Observatory completed in 1934, 30 years before Calder's work.
The NEA is not particularly clear, but it says this on its website:
:Alexander Calder, one of America's preeminent artists, was chosen to create the first civic sculpture jointly financed by federal and private funds. The NEA went on to fund almost 700 other works as part of its $15 million public art project.
I think what the NEA is saying here is that this was the first civic sculpture funded by the NEA (which was itself just founded) rather than the first sculpture funded by the federal government. I've changed the text to say that this was the first civic sculpture to receive funding from the NEA. GabrielF (talk) 05:58, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  not the first federally funded public work of art 

message: Most sources, including Calder himself, give his birth date a July 22.
I always thought I was born—at least my mother always told me so—on August 22, 1898. But my grandfather Milne’s birthday was on August 23, so there might have been a little confusion. In 1942, when I wrote the Philadelphia City Hall for a birth certificate, I sent them a dollar and they told me I was born on the twenty-second of July, 1898. So I sent them another dollar and told them, “Look again.” They corroborated the first statement. (Calder 1966, 11)http://www.calder.org/life/chronology Thisdaytrivia (talk) 16:09, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The only source given for the DOB is http://www.calder.org/life/chronology - which says "1898 22 July or August" and goes on with the discussion above.  I think we need a better source and until we can clarify it, it should be removed.  Toddst1 (talk) 22:09, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mexican War 

message: I removed a statement saying that a certain unit "discovered that breechloaders were useless in the rain and they would have been better off with muzzle-loaders, because the paper cartridges got soaked" (para), as it doesn't make any sense. Paper cartridges have been issued to troops using muzzle-loaders since before the Revolutionary War. Powder horns are for civilians and men who's government can't afford to issue them with paper cartridges. A infantry soldier equipped per regulations in the Revolution carried a muzzle-loading musket and a box of paper cartridges. The same applied to men in the War of 1812. So having been issued with muzzle-loaders would have made no difference at all. The only thing that would have helped is if they were issued powder horns (which would be a hindrance the times when it WASN'T raining, which is why they invented paper cartridges), and if they had been issued powder horns, they could have loaded a Hall rifle with them just as easily as you can load a muzzle-loader, and would still have had the advantage of a rifled barrel, which you wouldn't get from an infantry muzzle-loader of that era..45Colt 05:09, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Springfield Model 1863

message: This article states that "The Model 1861, with all of its variants, was the most commonly used longarm in the U.S. Civil War, with over 700,000 manufactured". Yet according to the article about the British Pattern 1853 Enfield "It has been estimated that over 900,000 P53 Enfields were imported to America and saw service in every major engagement from the Battle of Shiloh (April, 1862) and the Siege of Vicksburg (May 1863), to the final battles of 1865", and since 900,000 is usually considerably more than 700,000 it seems like there were more P53 Enfields in use during the ACW than Model 1861 Springfields. So one of those claims must be wrong, but which one is it? Allan Akbar (talk) 20:32, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Allen West (musician)

message: This is the exact same thing that happened when I tried to write an article for Mike Clark. They must have redirected it 3 times before I finally got enough material in there to make it an article.
Allen West is notable simply for being the lead guitarist for a groundbreaking death metal band Obituary. That alone should deserve an article for him. I could also add that he was in Six Feet Under as well, and that he uses the whammy bar a lot as part of his guitar style, plays Ibanez, and had to temporarily leave Obituary in 1990 and was replaced by James Murphy.
Short, but a lot of notable information. I don't even know that much about this guy (I'm kind of a more casual Obituary fan. The obsessed fans could come up with some other stuff I don't know probably too.) I would request that this article be re-written, and if it's not "notable" enough for your standards at least re-direct it to Obituary. --Protozoic Waste 13:10, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lehigh Line Connection

message: The original Hunter connector had but one curve and was also partially electrified.  To say "fewer curves" means that there were multiple curves on the connection; there were not.
The correct way to render the description (apart from the double-tracking, which is correct) is to mention that the curve now has a larger radius, and that it starts further east than the original track.  What was also omitted is a mention of the fact that the grade of the rebuilt connection is also less steep.

Talk:Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen

message: Fascinating article but also invaluable to almost any teacher or scholar studying society, literature, the whole works, between 1840 and 1960. That long era was the Railroad Age and the Naval Age. Reminds me of Howard Isham's book on how ships worked in the age of sail. Who knew that the Conductor was the figure comparable to the ship's captain? I had assumed it was the engineer. Well, written and supported. Bravo. I went to look up who had written this excellent piece and discovered half a hundred visions and revisions over the last fifteen years. A true scholarly collaboration.
