Talk:The Venetian Macao

message: "It is also home to the second largest Venice in the world, the first being the city of Venice, Italy and the third being The Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada."  This is needed?

thread_title:  That is true the Venetian Macau is falling down isn't it obvious? 

message: The statement "it is also home to the second largest Venice in the world, the first being the city of Venice, Italy and the third being The Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada" is a preposterous and ludicrous statement to make.  Venice is not an entity a casino resort can claim to possess.
Likewise the statement "The Venetian also boasts the largest number of Filipino gondoleers in the world" is equally absurd (and it is spelt gondolier). Gondolas and gondoliers are native to Venice and come under the auspices of the Istituzione per la conservazione della gondola e la tutela del gondoliere; so these are not proper gondolas and gondoliers. Gondolas are a specific type of watercraft native to Venice, and thus Gondoliers by definition are Venetian, not Filipino.

Talk:List of Russian steam frigates

message: To Petri Krohn.
Thank your for the additions.
Only one note. Of course, "Gaidamak" was the prototype for the "Abrek", but most part of new-designed ships of XIXth c. had their prototypes, often — in the other fleets. F. e. British "Bellerophon" (1866) was the prototype of Russian "Kniaz Pozharskii" (1867), "Nile" (1886) — of "Navarin" (1891) and so on... But term "prototype" is not the sufficient reason for listing the ship in list of concrete class of ships (at least in XIX c.) due to many differences. "Abrek" was not built according the drawings of "Gaidamak", both ships had different displacement (1069 vs. 1094 tons), dimensions (61 vs. 65 m length), strength and arrangement of their armament (2 8-pound rifled + 3 60-pound vs. 4 4-pound rifled + 3 60-pound guns).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leonid Kharitonov (talk • contribs) 14:33, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

On December 24, 1883 (January 5, 1884), the corvette "Amerika" was excluded from the lists of the Navy of the Russian Empire due to old age and put into storage. In 1884, "America" was sold at auction. The new owner used her as a yacht, but on one of the voyages, she fell apart, after which her wreckage was burned. Vrangel Bay (talk) 08:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Russian battleship Rostislav

message: Sturm asked me to have a look at this one.
* I don't know what a "major warship" is.
* "300 tonnes": the metric unit should be the converted one.
* "On the other hand, Alexander wisely limited such occasions to a reasonable minimum", "the admirals wisely refrained from a shooting battle": among other problems, the tone here is different from the rest of the article.
* I'm not going to take a position on the spelling Constanţa, but someone probably will.  That can't be the most common spelling in English sources. 
* "Captain Fyodor Stark (1876–1939)": we rarely give birth and death dates for captains; is there some special relevance here? 
* Concerning "June 11–12 (O.S. May 28–29)", etc.: according to Old Style, the two calendars are usually off by 13 days after 1900; that's 14 days difference.  Also, MOSNUM says: "The dating method used should follow that used by reliable secondary sources. If the reliable secondary sources disagree, choose the most common used by reliable secondary sources and note the usage in a footnote."  That is, don't give conversions for every date; pick one and go with it. It seems to me that since most of our sources are either non-Russian or post-1918 or both, most of our sources will be Gregorian.

thread_title:  Numbers? 

message: Of course, even cask strength whiskies have usually been subjected to some dilution in order to match what is printed on the label, but I am curious: are there any industry or regulatory limitations on how much dilution is allowed before it may no longer be considered "cask strength"?  I'm guessing not. . .because the dilution only affects flavor balance, and regulations, at most, are only concerned with origin, process/components, and strength.  Still, it would be interesting to know that somewhere on Islay, there could potentially be a 10-year-old cask of full-flavored, 65%ABV Laphraoig that is sadly about to be mixed with 12% water to match the 57.8% on the cask-strength label.

replies: text: Please see the updated article content. There is a strict limit on the dilution in the U.S. market. Under ATF Ruling 79-9, if the whisky strength has been diluted more than 1% abv (2 points U.S. proof), it cannot be labelled "barrel proof" (in the U.S. market).
