Template talk:Campaignbox Powder River Expedition

message: Are there any more battles in this campaign?  If not, this campaignbox should either be deleted or absorbed into another battlebox, as one battle is not a campaign in and of itself. Roy Al Blue 00:07, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite the contrary — a campaign could take a long time and cover a great distance and have only one battle, or even no battles at all. See: http://www.nps.gov/hps/abpp/battles/bycampgn.htm which was the basis for most of the campaignboxes on Wikipedia. That site lists numerous one battle campaigns. Also see Tudor Vladimirescu#Uprising. His campaign started in January 1821 and in May 1821 it was over with no battles fought, just an advance on, and occupation of Bucharest in March and two months rule. Then the retreat of Tudor's army in May, as the Ottomans occupied Bucharest without meeting resistance. That's still a campaign. Mojoworker (talk) 21:35, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

It is 34 metres from the southern end of the eastern Monkwearmouth platform to the northern end of the eastern platform at St Peters. In contrast the closest two operational stations I can think of - Canary Wharf DLR station and Heron Quays DLR station are 107 metres apart at their closest points (West India Quay DLR station is about 108 metres from Canary Wharf at the closest points, but it was being rebuilt when the air photo I have access too was taken so its difficult to be accurate)!Thryduulf 14:46, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, the location was listed incorrectly. However, it's not dual track, as one of the two tracks is used for freight only and has nothing to do with Metro. Not only would the trak need to be dualled at the High Lane Row site, but there would be issues with scheduling if the track between stations remained single. I suspect this might be given the go-ahead once they get their new rolling stock in a few years' time and it becomes more of an issue. ProhibitOnions (T) 15:02, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Profit sharing

message: Looking for any information on how to structure a profit sharing plan that will motivate employees to achieve higher profits and thus benefit from their efforts.
:Well that's basically what they are for. It's probably not as important how the plan is structured as how the employees perceive the plan. If they buy into it as a way for them to have a stake in how the business does it may work great, but if they see it as such a tiny bit that they can't make any difference it probably won't be worth the money. But Wikipedia isn't the best way to find that information, try contacting a few providers to see if they are interested in the business, see what they all have to say, and go with the one you're most comfortable with. - Taxman Talk 03:05, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This is a paraphrasing of the sourced statement in the "Appraisal and legacy" section that "to critics he was 'an anachronistic throwback', the stubborn, slippery guardian of an unjust cause and an oppressor of black Africans". This is sourced to Davenport in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. The original quote is: "Alternatively, he was a stubborn trickster, the shifty defender of an immoral cause, 'dribbling out reforms like water from a squeezed sponge', and tough on the black population."

replies: text: Vaguely from memory the legend is that just before fleeing to Europe in 1900 Kruger had millions in gold bullion buried for some reason, presumably to deny it to the British (?). Doesn't really make sense to me as this is the same Kruger who refused to destroy the gold mines when the British advanced, on the grounds that whoever won the war the gold was important to help rebuild the country. Anyway, I don't believe there's much evidence for this myth, probably worth a footnote at best. Cheers —  Cliftonian (talk)  20:34, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: End of a Berlin Diary info removed

message: In this site: [Kr] you can read at the end:
"A psychiatrist named Foster Kennedy gave an address to the American Psychiatric Association’s annual meeting in 1941. In it, he strongly advocated not only for the forcible sterilization of the mentally retarded, but for killing them, especially if they fell below a certain functional level. Because he assumed that such individuals were in constant suffering and would be better off dead, he referred to this killing as euthanasia or mercy killing. His address was published in the Journal of the American Psychiatric Association in July of 1942. In the same issue an opposing viewpoint by another psychiatrist, Leo Kanner, was also published, along with an editorial.
While Kanner had no objection to sterilization, he did object to euthanasia. He also questioned the validity of assuming that people of low IQ would necessarily beget children who were also mentally deficient, but did not spend any time exploring the ramifications that would ensue for his philosophy if this were indeed the case. He believed that sterilization should be reserved only for those who could not perform useful work. He feared that stopping more functional people of low intelligence from reproducing might lead to a labor shortage in unskilled occupations which would adversely affect the functioning of society. Of note is the fact that by July of 1942, psychiatrists were already aware of what was going on in Germany. Kanner noted, “If [journalist and historian] William Shirer’s report is true – and there are reasons to believe that it is true – in Nazi Germany the Gestapo is now systematically bumping off the mentally deficient people of the Reich…”"Agre22 (talk) 19:13, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

message: A recent edit removed adjectives describing Palmer's prominence in the development of sabermetrics, citing POV.  I attempted to re-word the text to communicate that prominence accurately, but do so based on empirically derived evidence rather than "I just threw in some big adjectives."

Yes, many vessels broke their moorings in the storm and flooding, but those visible from driving and walking around the metro area (I was back before most had yet been moved) otherwise had small yachts and shrimp boats as their largest examples.
