Talk:Reunification Day

message: I added the second paragraph as a NPOV as possible of overseas Vietnamese to provide a complete picture of that day and what it means to the Vietnamese people as a whole.  To be honest, overseas Vietnamese do not consider it a day of liberation and find offense to the communist government's deliberate candy coated manipulation of history by naming it as such.  But, this comment is very POV and as such I have left it here and not the main article.

message: In the history, Germany was unified twice; Spain, Italy, Yugoslavia, Romania and Yemen were unified once respectively. The first unification of Germany was finished on 18 January, 1871, when German Empire was established after the end of three German Unification Wars. The reunification of Germany took place on 3 October, 1990, when all territory of East Germany was merged into West Germany peacefully. Thus, German Unity Day, also the national day of Germany, is on 3 October since 1990. The unification of Spain was finished on 2 January, 1492, when Granada was annexed by Spain. The unification of Italy was finished on 20 September 1870, when Kingdom of Italy occupied Rome. The unification of Yugoslavia was finished on 1 December, 1918, when Kingdom of Serbs, Croats
and Slovenes (changed its national name to Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929) was established after the end of World War I. The unification of Romania was finished by Treaty of Trianon in 1920. According to this treaty, Kingdom of Romania got Transylvania from the former country Austria-Hungary. The unification of Yemen took place on 22 May, 1990, when North Yemen merged with South Yemen to form Republic of Yemen peacefully. In conclusion, please change this article's title to "Reunification Day of Vietnam", in order to distinguish from the unification day of other countries. MouseCatDog (talk) 11:40, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

message: I saw the article on my watchlist, that the title for Gilles Wach had been changed.  I researched via Google to find information to prove or disprove the edit.  The only source which I have found is the link which I have cited, which contains what appears to be a scan of a letter from The Congregation For Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, dated November 2005.  Various other sources are scanned and cited at this site.
Barring any other authoritative material, I have let the change be, and cited a source in due dilligence.
I think it would be best of someone could verify this authoritatively.  This could be the source of some controversy, especially in light of the Institute's mission.

replies: text:  Under history -- Наступивший шведский период в истории Ивангорода растянулся почти на целое столетие, в течение которого Ивангородская крепость воспринималась исключительно как предместное укрепление Нарвы, составляя с ней единую оборонительную систему. И лишь Петру I, в ходе победоносной Северной войны (в 1704 г.), удалось окончательно вернуть России и Нарву, и Ивангород. Однако значение последнего уже не было так велико, как прежде, ибо за время шведского владычества роль "окна в Европу" перешла к только что основанному Петербургу. На протяжении XVIII-XIX веков развитие Ивангорода, ставшего частью Нарвы, шло по плану, лично утверждённому Екатериной II в 1784г. Cheers, --3 Löwi 18:06, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

"The structure contains some of the early indoor plumbing design first used in Europe with vertical shafts for waste. Reportedly the sewage was cleaned out only when the noble family was off the premises. Another interesting feature of the castle is the interior staircase in the west facing tower, which is clockwise by ascension in the classic defensive design, but the stairway shaft is rectangular."

message: I always thought that a Baltimore chop referred to the especially hard ground in front of home plate in Baltimore.  A ball hit straight down was known to bounce unusually high in the air, allowing the batter to reach first base.
