Talk:François Le Fort (admiral)

message: The Leforts in Singapore are  either descendants of Arthur Lefort and his brother Louis Lefort both of whom are deceased.Unlike  Leforts in other parts of the globe which tend to be Caucasian, the Leforts in Singapore are Indians ( Dravidians) . The history of the Lefort family in Singapore can be traced to Pondicherry which is a French colony in India. It is not clear how Arthur and Louis obtained the surname Lefort as their father did not have the Lefort surname. He was named A S Nathan. However, the Leforts in Singapore are thriving well with four grandsons  from the lineage of Louis Lefort ( Jason Joseph Lefort,Christopher Lefort, David Lefort and Jonathan Lefort ) . There are two grandsons from the lineage of Arthur Lefort ( Joshua and Jonathan Galileo Lefort ) .The genealogy and family tree of the Leforts in Singapore can be viewed here :   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph Lefort (talk • contribs) 08:10, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

message: ...He distinguished himself at the Siege of Varna in 1828 when an exploding Turkish cannon shell emasculated him
That seems a creepy way of putting it.  Discretion out of general respect would suggest, ...he was severely injured instead, without intriguing sniggerers.
Further, some evidence of his lack of martial skill would be preferable to blanket statements.

message: I have two questions concerning the expanded form of the debye-huckel limitting law.  First of all, would it not be better to specify that "log" refers to the natural logarithm (ln) and not the base-10 logarithm.  Also, the denominator used (8*pi*relativepermitivity*permitivityoffreespace*k_b*T) is itself an approximation.  More formally, one would add the term (1+kapa*a_0), where kapa is the Debye screening length and a_o is the ionic-radius.  Wouldn't it be better mention the fact that we approximate this term to equal unity?  -- Billjoie (talk) 14:30, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I know. My remark was addressed not to you, but to those who would like to put that wording back. But even being in favor of the abdication is not something a monarchist can not do. One might try to save the monarchy by the removal of the unpopular monarch, wouldn't you agree? (I recall the Brits did something like that a few centuries ago.)--Barbatus 16:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Barbatus, Thanks for your reply. I have reinserted "patriotic". If you feel that there is evidence (and possibly cites) showing that he was a "monarchist", then please go ahead and put that back in too. Even at his advanced age, he seemed to have taken on the job of advising the Red Army. JS 19:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Frankly, I don't know much of Brusilov's biography and political affiliations (the easiest way is to check the Russian version of the article ... and my turf is ancient history). The thing is, though, that if he indeed was a monarchist (very likely), he (as many others) went on to serve the new government not because he turned bolshevik all of a sudden, but precisely because he was a patriot.

message: It is not quite correct to say that "Brusilov publised... an appeal". This appeal published in "Pravda" was signed by a numbder of persons (Lenin, Trotskiy and others) including Brusilov. But Brusilov in his memoirs insists that he had never signed this appeal (there is a discussion about it in Russian Wiki). As he writes, they asked him to sign the appeal but he didn't do that. It is not quite clear whether he refused or took some time "for thinking" but soon he "saw with horror" this appeal published with his name. We don't know how it was in reality but the Brusilov's version is quite possible for those times.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nebosklon (talk • contribs) 11:59, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
