Talk:Swiss Federal Council/Archive 1

message: :Moved here from User talk:Sandstein.
Please mention the language(s) in which the Swiss Federal Council members comminicate with each other at the concerned page.Cygnus_hansa 15:14, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't add it to the article, because I have no sources on this and the details of Council sessions are not public. However, it is my understanding that every Councillor uses whatever official language of Switzerland they want to (usually their mother tongue), which the others are then expected to at least understand. This is common practice wherever Swiss of different language interact. However, native speakers of Italian or Romansh usually use French or German in such cases, because command of Italian and Romansh is not widespread. Also, on important occasions with a great number of participants from across the country (e.g. in parliament), simultaneous interpreting is usually available. Sandstein 15:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria.

GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed.

Talk:Ben Lomond Mountain (Utah)

message: I'm not sure if this comment belongs here or on the article about William W Hodkinson. Anyway, that info about Paramount's logo is neat. Was the napkin that he sketched "Majestic Mountain" on preserved? Or was there another more formal preliminary sketch
created that has been preserved (at least a photo of the sketch) in the Library of Congress or something? I think some sort of image of his rendering would be cool to have on the William Hodkinson article, if not here also.

Talk:Solano Avenue

message: There seems to be a disagreement over the name of the tunnel that Solano passes through.
A quick search of the Berkeley Muicicpal Code finds one mention of "Solano Tunnel", under Section 99.02.030 Table 3 Inventory of Property Owned by the City.  There is also one mention of "Northbrae Tunnel", under Section 19.48.020 Amendments to the California Fire Code.
A search of the city's website finds 10 pages for "solano tunnel", and one for "northbrae tunnel".
A google search for "northbrae tunnel" finds 28 pages, including this wikipedia article. About half are from railfan sites, six are from a City of Berkeley zoning map, and five are from a 40-50 year old Caltrans publication.
A google search for "solano tunnel" finds 141 pages.
I also found a handful of references to the "Thousand Oaks Tunnel", "Solano Avenue Tunnel", "Henry Street Tunnel", and "North Berkeley Tunnel".
The tunnel (or more accurately, the "bridge" which carries Marin Avenue over the top) is listed as "Solano-Sutter Street Tunnel" on the Caltrans website at http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/structur/strmaint/local.htm
Just from looking at the above, there doesn't seem to be much official agreement over the name, although "Solano Tunnel" is used slightly more often.  "Solano Tunnel" is, however, the most commonly used name (on the internet, at least).  Personally, as someone who grew up nearby, I can't remember anyone ever calling it the "Northbrae Tunnel".

Talk:HMS Lion (C34)

message: I'm a mite confused as the infobox calls this ship Tiger-class, followed by the lede which says Minotaur-class then "the Tigers" are mentioned.
As far as I can tell, Lion was built as the Minotaur-class Defence, but she became a Tiger-class (when and how I don't know, I don't have the sources, but it should be in the introducton).
To resolve any problems, it is probably a good idea to edit the lede - any takers? RASAM (talk) 16:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Odd Ball (comic strip)

message: Just added His subtitle was "Nobby Noodle owns Odd Ball, the amazing toy from space". But I wonder if 'subtitle' is the correct name for the words that appear at the base of the title frame. Usually there is the name of the strip, a picture of its main character, and some words to describe the character, such as Tyneside's silver-tongued cavalier or to recap the character's origins such as After being stung by a radioactive leopard..... In music hall, this would be called the artist's bill matter. Is there any convention on what this wording is called in comics? DavidFarmbrough 10:20, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Reichskommissariat Ukraine

message: Die Angaben über die deutsche Verwaltungsgliederung der Ukraine, soweit sie den Generalbezirk Nikolayewsk betreffen, sind unzutreffend (wrong).
N., eine Kleinstadt 200km nördlich Wolgograd am linken, östlichen Ufer der Wolga, liegt weit von der Ukraine entfernt in Russland (früher Russische Sowjetrepublik.), 
Ich vermute, hier ist die Großstadt Nikolajew mit der Kleinstadt Nikolayewsk verwechselt worden. Nikolajew liegt auf dem linken, östlichen Ufer des Südlichen Bug, also außerhalb am Rande des rumänischen Interessengebietes, 20km oberhalb des Dnjepr-Bug-Liman, der gemeinsamen Mündung der beiden Flüsse in das Schwarze Meer.
:Sorry, don't speak German. As this is the English Wiki, could someone that the following on line translation is correct:
:The data concerning the German administrative arrangement of the Ukraine, as far as they concern the general district Nikolayewsk, are unfounded (wrong). N., a town 200km north Wolgograd on the left, eastern bank of the Volga, lies far far away from the Ukraine in Russia (in former times Russian Soviet republic), I assumes, here the large city Nikolajew with the town Nikolayewsk was confounded. Nikolajew is appropriate for southern nose, thus outside at the edge of the Romanian sphere of interest, on the left, eastern bank 20km above the Dnjepr nose Liman, the common delta of the two rivers into the black sea.

thread_title: A claim that has been supported by virtually no one

message: I found this to be an informative article. I am, however, having read some Carell, a little uneasy about the comment in the section about Carell's military histories that he ignores the political dimension. Yes, I can see the point made in the article that Carell does ignore the political dimension of the German armed forces in the Second World War, and indeed, I'd go further and say that Carell ignores the social dimension. But I can think of plenty of military histories where this is the case, where the history of a particular war is described like a chess game, with divisions being moved over a chessboard. And if you read Carell, this is the impression one gains, that he is describing particular military campaigns (Russia, North Africa, France) like gigantic chess games.  This leaves out, of course, the suffering involved, not merely of civilians, but also of the troops involved, on both sides.  Elaine Scarry has written an excellent book, The Body in Pain, which points out that the way we describe war (and the history of war) obscures what is really happening. I am not trying to defend Carell here, but I think, in part, his approach to military history might be part of a wider problem in writing about war. As I understand it, the article was translated from the German language version of Wikipedia, and I understand the culpability of the German military forces in the criminal nature of the Third Reich has been a major area of debate in post-war Germany. Perhaps one way to improve the article would be to place the writings of Carell within the context of the German debate on the issue of responsibility? Just an idea.

Talk:Bookless in Baghdad

message: This is a rather disappointing book as compared to his earlier works. It is filled with self praise and praise from others, not something that you expect from an author of his standard. The title is very misleading, I thought it had something to do with Post US invasion Iraq, since the book is a 2005 release. Turns out the Baghdad article appears in the last but three chapters, and is about a vist he made in 1998, much before the 2003 Iraq War. In other words the book title has been picked only for its saleability and nothing else. PremKudvaTalk 10:30, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
