Talk:Battle of Dutch Harbor

message: Recent historians, such as Tully and Parshall in Shattered Sword, with better access to Japanese records, have said that the Japanese Aleutian Islands operation was not meant as a diversion for the rest of the Combined Fleet approaching Midway.  Instead, they argue, the goal of the plan to attack and occupy the Aleutians was, as with Midway, to extend Japan's defensive perimeter outward to give greater protection to the home islands.  If it served as a diversion, that was only a secondary objective. Cla68 (talk) 08:27, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh yeah, I know that Fuchida says that it was meant as a diversion.  Tully and Parshall, however, say that Japanese records don't support his claim. Cla68 (talk) 08:30, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Diversion

message: "As a result of the enemy actions the Eleventh Air force lost 4 B-17s, 2 Martin B-26 Marauders, 2 P-40s, the Fleet Air wing suffered the most with 6 PBY Catalinas destroyed and 23 killed. 3 POW, 10 MIA and 2 wounded.[9]"
Since this battle was an aerial attack, how is it possible that any US troops were taken prisoner? MIA is confusing too -- it's a tiny isolated island, where are they going to disappear to? -- though I suppose it's possible they died but their bodies weren't found.
The reference is a Google books link and that only shows you part of the text so it's difficult to get the context for these numbers. Is it possible that they're the casualty numbers for the 11th Air force for the entire war? There's no indication other than this sentence that there were B-17s on the island during the battle, for instance. --Jfruh (talk) 00:52, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:High Sheriff of Wiltshire

message: I have been adding Sheriffs and their seats from the Rev. Mr. Jackson's book. Entries between 1857 and 1875 are transcribed from contemporary manuscript additions in my copy of the book, which are not always easy to read. Apologies for any errors.
Because of the completeness of my source, I have preferred it in the event of clashes over dates etc with previous entries. I hope that's OK.

Talk:Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium

message: Apart from being a rather stupid name, it seems that the museum has not actually rebranded itself - the website (here) still clearly carries the title "Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium".—Brigade Piron (talk) 08:31, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia is the last place to change such things, not (one of) the first. We are an encyclopedia, not the yellow pages. I have no idea what problems with a geolocation page on Facebook have to do with Wikipedia, but frankly it is not our problem, and not our mission to solve such things. As for the name, I don't think you want to be known as fib, a word with negative connotations. "Fine Arts Belgium" sounds like an art dealer or art convention, something like Art Brussels or Art Basel, not like a group of National Museums of major importance. Please remember that for many visitors (e.g. from the Far East), the "Royal" gives it an aura of prestige, importance, should-not-be-missed character. The only thing I would change is "Museum" instead of "Museums", it comes across as an error (even though it is historically correct). Fram (talk) 08:12, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Not in our attention to bother you with missions that are not yours. However, note that Facebook representatives led us directly to you, for that matter. We will try to find another way. Thanks for your comprehension and advices (which we already had in mind - although "Royal" is also misleading to some extent: is it Arts about Royalties, are these the Royal Museums of Arts & History?, ...we've heard it all). Acronym of Fine Arts Belgium would be "F.A.B." though, nof "F.I.B." ! Regards, FineArtsBelgiumCom (talk) 11:51, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right about fib / fab, no idea where I got that from. You can obviously disregard that mistaken comment from me in that regard. If the "Royal" is misleading to some people, you can always follow the example of many countries and call it the National Museum of Art or something similar. Including "Museum" seems crucial to me though. Fram (talk) 12:23, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with . You do know that "Royal" is the equivalent of Koninklijk/Royal though, right? It's absolutely nothing to do with "Royalties" (auteursrechten/royalties). Personally I think you'd be mad to try to change the name - especially to your proposed title.—Brigade Piron (talk) 20:16, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition

message: Initial comments:
The article is reasonably laid out, but needs significantly more details.
Suggestions:
- Specific examples and details regarding the "numerous additional calculations and experiments" for the mechanism would be nice.  Also, can we see some details about the bullet pointed pieces of evidence?  More carbonyl groups slowing the reaction down doesn't seem to scream "concerted mechanism" to me.  The solvent effect and stereospecificity are much more convincing, but could use reaction schemes.  What do isotope effects say?
- Can we please replace the phrase "high negative entropic energy and moderate enthalpy requirements" with some experimental numbers and words like "highly negative entropy of activation" instead?
- What do you mean by "maximum gains in sigma bond energy"?  Can you make some general comments on where the delta G in the reaction comes from?
- This could use significantly more examples and applications in synthesis.  Are there catalytic variants?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by E kwan (talk • contribs) 19:59, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text:  I am expressing my opinion.  Articles with long lists of primary refs are the result of cherry picking and, worse, fail to give appropriate perspective.  Long lists of primary refs sometimes might arise because an editor is unfamiliar with technical writing, but most often such lists are just accretion: editor A adds one ref, editor B adds two more, etc. Another problem: primary refs on big topics invite ref spamming (hey, the article cites this minor work, my paper should be cited too).  Of the first 29 refs in this article, 70% are primary: 3, 6 ,9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29.

Talk:Jack Pfefer

message: This pre-2009 article specified that on 10 November 1939 that Bobby Bruns (who became the first MWA World Heavyweight Champion in January 1940) defeated a man named Maurice Boyer (then the World Light Heavyweight Champion) and that this victory is what led to his consideration for the MWA-WHC. Specifically the phrase is:
:On Nov. 10, 1939 at Bridgeport, Conn., Bobby Bruns defeated Jack Pfefer's world light heavyweight champion Maurice Boyer.
:From that point forward in New England and the Atlantic Coast, the title changed to a heavyweight title and Pfefer billed Bruns as heavyweight world champion.
I am not clear whether or not the World Light Heavyweight Championship changed hands in this match. It is mentioned that it was the "Jack Pfefer version" of the title though, implying that there might be other WLHC titles out there somewhere. It may be that (since it's lowercase) this phrase was merely descriptive and not an actual proper name of the title, it's a bit unclear.
Would anyone know anything in particular about Bruns or Boyer and any dealings they may have had with Pfefer? They aren't mentioned in the Wikipedia article and I'd like to cross-reference this data. It's critical to tracing back the origins of the MWAWHC which itself heavily contributed to the notability of the NWAWHC which in turn led to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship that Randy Orton currently holds.
