Talk:Writers and Illustrators of the Future

message: There's no such thing as the "Hubbard estate". Hubbard's estate as Authors Family Trust B was folded into the Church of Spiritual Technology, which wholly owns Author Services Inc., which does business as Galaxy Press and receives funds from and distributes to various Scientology organizations. At best, it's deceptive misdirection. AndroidCat 16:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

message: No citations at all, nothing about modern standings, all the article is written from the point of view "they are so poor! They have nothing to eat! Even if they have houses they could never afford them!" which is definitely not true. Chinese government is counting only money income (not natural income) for rural households which means that they are severe undertracked.  They are counting poverty by market exchange rates instead of taking PPP into account. And what do we see here? Even darker picture.

Talk:Air Force Base Ysterplaat

message: It is my understanding that the land on which AFB Ysterplaat is on is owned by an influential family within the Milnerton area. The land was on loan for use by the Air Force on the condition that the land continue to be used as a Military Air Force Base. This would explain why the SAAF has been hesitant to downgrade the base. Further investigation and verification would obviously be required. Also, whether or not this is even "encyclopaedic" is another story.

message: Greetings Mr. Kwesi Yema. Thank you for your contributions to African history. Please, sir, you had deleted A part of the Gaha article, which according to you "I wouldn't expect a source from 1921 to be highly accurate especially if it doesn't provide inline citations." Please, are you an authority on this? I got hold of the Journal "The Rise of the Akwamu Empire 1650-1710" But this does not make Rev Samuel Johnson'S book published in 1921, a lie. Actually, Rev Samuel Johnson completed his works in 1897.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Johnson_(Nigerian_historian). Also if you would please, read Seventeen Years in the Yoruba Country. Memorials of Anna Hinderer ISBN 978 1371 184346. he Worked directly with David Hinderer.
As per Oyo Empire expansions into Dahomey, Popo, Ga, and Ashanti, in addition to Rev. Samuel Johnson's work, the following citations made references
(1) The Cambridge History of Africa ( c.1600-c.1790) -ISBN:0 521 20413 5, Cambridge University Press Pg 229-252

replies: text: Hello, Bo2ly. Samuel Johnson fails to provide an inline citation for his claim that the Oyo took tribute from the "Ashanti and Gas". He fails to provide a year or what kind of tribute it was. I've checked the sources you shared and none of them verify Mr. Samuel's claim. Mr. Samuel himself does not use these sources as a reference either. 
1) Cambridge for example doesn't and you can check for yourself:
https://books.google.com/books?id=GWjxR61xAe0C&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false
2)The work by Jan Vansina and co do not make this claim especially with the pages you cited;
https://books.google.com/books/about/African_History.html?id=JKZjQgAACAAJ&redir_esc=y
3) The third source by UNESCO doesn't support any theory that Oyo took tributes from Ga or Ashanti.

message: I have removed the following section from the article:
Okyerema Asante is truly an African musical legend having performed and worked with some of the world renowned musicians such as Hugh Masekela, Mariam Makeba, Lonnie Linston Smith, Paul Simon, Fleetwood Mac, Jackie Maclean, Rene Maclean, The World Saxophone Quartet, Third World, James Moody Plunky and many more. He has performed on three world tours, twice with The Fleetwood Mac (the TANGO IN THE NIGHT and the BEHIND THE MASK TOURS,and once with Paul Simon (The Graceland Tour). A versatile master percussionist, composer, producer and a Teacher, Asante combines years of experience with innovation and freshness to create music for the mind and soul. As a soloist and a one man band, he performs on about 85 instruments at a show. He takes his audience on a journey into the world of percussion. Asante demonstrate how drums can stand on their own as a soloist or an ensemble, not just a background time keeper. He was born in KOFORIDUA, the eastern regional capital of Ghana in 1949. HE is also married with two beautiful boys wife Elizabeth Asante, and sons Kobe Asante and Chief Asante!

If you google for "Getatchew Mekuria + born" you will find a lot of mentions of 1937, but I suppose the majority of those were taken from the Wikipedia-article itself and so cannot be used as a source.

message: "Complete lack of fire control systems contributed to rather mediocre fire efficiency." Just because there was no equivalent to the TDC or the RN "fruit machine", it doesn't mean there were no systems; before TDCs, USN routinely used a variety of slide rule (later 2 types). As unsub, uncited, & unlikely, I deleted. Also, fair to say the Mars-12 microphone system is a hydrophone setup?  TREKphiler hit me ♠  03:31, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it basically was a hydrofone. But official Soviet term was "microphone system" -- during Soviet times Russian language was infused with officialese so heavily, that it cannot throw it away even now. As for fire control system -- you're right, slide rule it was (and, sonetimes, even just captain's intuition), but I'd not call them "fire control systems". Such crude methods required a superb crew training, but it was often lacking (there was a sub that once tried to submerge with its main hatch open, due to crewman error -- fortunately it was in port, so it was quickly rescued). If you compare sunk tonnages normalized per one sub, soviet subs most definitely weren't leaders. Also, there often was a problem with simply finding the target: Soviet optics was often substandard and periscopes limited visibility severely. When ASDICs were introduced later into the war, the situation improved markedly. --Khathi (talk) 01:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't say I'm surprised by any of that. Before the TDC (& Brit equiv), a lot of aiming was by eye. As for whether a slide rule qualifies as "fire control system", maybe not, strictly, but it's also not "complete lack", either, which was my point.

message: The changes today were varied and odd. The info about the college "becoming" a campus is incorrect. These two concepts are two completely different and separate issues. There can be a campus, a college, both, or neither... they are not mutually exclusive nor inclusive terms. The street naming issue may be correct, but needs to be added to the existing info, not replace it, since it has no references either. The info about the consolidation of colleges is both myopic and beyond the scope of the article... it involved only some of the schools of the university, and the associated discussion was not relevant. As for "the Rock"... I have no idea where that came from... this was never an official designation of the campus and I've never even heard of it in my 32 years here.
