Talk:Japanese battleship Asahi

message: Hello -- Your recent edit to Japanese battleship Asahi resulted in a massive number of red date links. The date format "1912-05-28" in double brackets (1912-05-28 (for example) yields the exact same result as "May 28, 1912" in double brackets (May 28, 1912),  so there was no need for most of the changes as they were made. As I am sure you are aware, the Wikipedia format does not recognize the whole date in double brackets, May 28, 1912, which is why the dates are now all disrupted in the artcle. --MChew (talk) 15:11, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Eupatoria

message: There was no rout following Khrulev's decision to abort the attack. The attack was terminated by Khrulev after three hours because of withering artillery fire from the Allied ships and land defenses. The Russian columns withdrew in organized fashion.

Talk:Battle of Fort Anne

message: In the Aftermath section. Serious question should be raised on the "delivery to such a remote location render the story implausible" statement.
On June 14, 1777, in order to establish an official flag of the new nation, 
the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act: 
"Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States 
be thirteen stripes alternate red and white; 
that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, 
representing a new constellation."
http://www.usflags.com/usflaghistory.aspx
*allow 19 days for delivery without even a horse at ~3.02MPH
means it could have made it there in under 100 hours.
On the other hand, he could have walked it to Philadelphia, PA then to Columbus, OH; Ottawa, ON, Canada to Montpelier, VT where he can grab a bite, use the privy and have a smoke and still have time to get to Fort Ann with it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by D12Blame (talk • contribs) 22:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

message: "Whereas earlier singles "Supersonic" and "Shakermaker" had used psychedelic imagery, and "Live Forever" used softer chords and tender lyrics, "Cigarettes & Alcohol" was the first real taste of the wilder attitude that Oasis appeared to be promoting. The song proclaims the inherent appeal of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs as a remedy to the banality and seemingly futile nature of the working class life. Lyrics such as "Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?" taps into the common sentiment of western disenchantment that was particularly common in the mid-1990s."

In the printable version of the page, the picture of internal layout of the ship is too small and impractical for comprehension.

Talk:Hans Grässel

message: On the website "archinform", a German page about architects, I found Grässel was given the orden Pour le Mérite in 1914 (see ref). From the article on the orden, I gather this was a pure military decoration. Should it then be assumed that Grässel got it from deeds in the first world war, rather than for his deeds as an architect? Indeed, he is not one of the very very famous architects. In 1914, when he recieved the orden, he was ~54 years old - not the age I expect an architect to earn military decoration. On pourlemerite.org, it says there was one "other" Pour le Mérite given during 1914, that was neither army, navy, air or foreign. Assuming that this was Grässel seems a bit headstrong, though. // Habj 10:52, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

The difference with bright green is a subtle one.

Talk:Negoro-shū

message: I haven't read the Turnbull source, but I'm pretty sure the name is wrong. Looking at Japanese Wikipedia, Negoro-gumi (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A0%B9%E6%9D%A5%E7%B5%84) was a group of 100 fire-arms warriors ordered to fight for the central government after Negoro itself was defeated by Oda Nobunaga. The warrior monks that were active before the defeat were called Negoro-shuu (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A0%B9%E6%9D%A5%E8%A1%86). Since the English article talks about tens of thousands of soldiers fighting against Nobunaga, I think it is talking about Negoro-shuu.
