Talk:Valediction

message: Cite note 14 provides an out-of-date link stating SECNAVINST M-5216.5 (MARCH 2010) instructs use of "Sincerely" for all correspondence. Most recent version at time of writing, SECNAVINST M-5216.5 (JUNE 2015) suggests a return to the "Very Respectully"/"Respectfully" format with their respective abbreviations. I'm unaware of the status of "Sincerely" in the other branches, but opted to discuss in lieu of changing only the US Navy usage at this time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.244.68.11 (talk) 21:57, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

message: It seems somewhat odd the the UK section is so concerned with valedictions to Roman Catholic clergy when the state church in England is the Church of England and the national church in Scotland is the Church of Scotland. Wales and Northern Ireland have no state or national church. So, at the least, this list seems suspect. --IACOBVS (talk) 22:39, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Elisabeth Bumiller

message: "There is ample evidence to the contrary" that Bumiller writes ultra-flattering coverage of Bush?  Like what?  I don't see that quotation about 'Mission Accomplished' as very critical.  It is very clear that Bumiller's coverage has been fawning, and so I took out the "but there is ample evidence to the contrary" line.

Talk:Munster Republic

message: You have to wonder what would have happened if the Munster Republic still existed today, with Cork city as the provincial capital. Would a Munster Republic have been economically viable. It certainly would have divided the island of Ireland even more. This would explain why Munster Rugby fans have a greater sense of a common Munster identity. I don't know about most Munster people but whenever anyone from outside Ireland asks me where I'm from I say "Munster" instead of County Tipperary.
I'm more proud of the fact that I'm from Munster than from Co. Tipperary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.113.168.128 (talk • contribs)  
:I can concur with that, however being of Cork descent I generally tend to state that first, followed by a Munster and Irish claim. We certainly seem to have a greater sense of pride than other Munster counties, hence the People's Republic of Cork and the rebel county names. Easiest way of explaining to foreigners the Munster passion is to say that if it was Munster vs. Ireland at rugby, we'd support Munster without fail. Irish by birth, Munster by the grace of god. Steve hill4 (talk) 21:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The so called Munster Republic was never intended to be an independent state. It was a kind of protest by the anti-treaty side - i.e. ok you have your British imposed Free State, but the The Irish Republic is still in existance where pur men are occupying in Munster. It wasn'ta seperatist or even a regionalist thing. It was purely a tactical move by the anti-treaty side in the context of the civil war.Jdorney 00:49, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Golduck

message: This article has severe plural vs. singular issues. Half of the time you're talking about it as a species and the other half you're acting like there is only one of them.
Example: 
Golduck live in fresh-water lakes and in rivers, though it can also be seen occasionally in coastal waters. Golduck are fast swimmers, outswimming even the most athletic of humans because of its frog-like webbed hands and feet. The gem on its forehead glows when it uses psychic powers as well as when it swims at full speed, suggesting that it sometimes uses those powers to swim.
You're talking about a species, but you keep referring to it in the singular tense. Additionally, it is never stated that the plural of "golduck" is "golduck" and not "golducks" (can you even support that it is the plural?).
I cannot pass this article until its grammar issues are resolved. Contact me on my talk page when you've fixed it up. --SeizureDog 09:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:O Sweet Saint Martin's Land

message: Thanks for this page!  I hope you don't mind my taking the liberty of making the entry a bit more encyclopediac by editing the text slightly.  (Feel free to discuss here or on my talk page any changes I made).  
I am wondering, though, it is mentioned that the song is a bi-national song, that is, serving as the anthem of both the Dutch and French sides of St-Martin.  While it seems obvious that it is used on the Dutch side (I get the impression that Fr. Kemps is Dutch, as he was knighted by the Dutch queen), is it proven that this song is also used on the French side as well?  It is very rare for French overseas territories to adopt a local anthem of anything other than La Marseillaise (the only exception I know of is French Polynesia, which uses a local song that does not have a Wikipedia article about it yet - but then French Polynesia has a high degree of autonomy, it's also the only French overseas territory that has a local flag to the best of my knowledge as well ... ).  --Canuckguy 20:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Bi-national anthem

message: I strongly suggest to remove both the French and Dutch 'translation' from this article. They are clearly internet translations and meaningless in French and Dutch respectively.
Let me prove my point by translating the Dutch chorus (which gives the most absurd result) back into English:
O sweet Holy the Land of martin (or martlet; yes the bird!!!)
So bright by beach and get stuck
With sailors on the sea and harbours freed
Where chains (the type one wears around the neck) of mountains green
Diverging in sunlight sheen
Italic: Though some constructions might seem 'acceptable' in English, in Dutch they are wrong.
The same is going on with the French version (O the Land of Martin of sweet Holy …)
Suggestion for improvement of wikipedia:
- Let's reserve translations for persons who master the original language sufficiently into their mother tongue only  
- Advise against internet translations

replies: text: I'll remove the Dutch translations, as they indeed make absolutely no sense.

It is safe to assume that Tommy was with the rest of the YA when they joined the resistance.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/New Line Learning

message: This may seem very repetitive as again I am another ex-student, during the my years at the school which was from infact yr7 - 13 only having just left, i feel this article is complete truth, throughout yr 7 - 11 under Mr Wood the school was the one to join the one that everyone wanted to go to, I even remember when tryin to join the school people gettin turned away! Now through the years i have noticed discipline waivering a bit but i put that down to certain students joining the school whom would be better off doing some sort of Tarmacing or Roofing job! The school came under Gerry's control when i joined yr 12 and has been goin downhill since then like many have said before he is tryin to make it look good while inside it is collapsing! From previous experience it is not only the students who moan and groan about it the school the staff are taking it hard too, although not publically displaying this, it is not hard to tell! I feel that the school is spending too much on posters, signs, logos and brand new tablets and forgettin about the realy things, like classrooms and chairs! Now this is not a dig at any teachers as they try their very best day in day out and they do a good job, some of them have been there all my school life, they dnt need some new bloke coming and ruining it! (What is he a doctor of anyway?) Like trying to bring in the idea of calling teachers by their first names?!? yeh great dicipline there sir! - I have also noticed in previious comments people saying this should not be included it is only an attack, well i apologise but it does need ot be said and it seems that this is the only way or gettin this out! The students who made this article are gettin punished for it by Dr Gerry, is that fair? Everyone has a right to an opinion and plus what is he so worried bout a few students making a little article about the school? hmm he has something to hide!!! My suggestion is dnt send your child here, there are plenty of good schools in maidstone, that are gettin better and your child will gain much from, and yes the media need to get behind this and show the school for what its really for! I dnt say just bring back the Stag i say bring back Mr Wood but i dnt think that will be possible! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.135.140.31 (talk • contribs) 20:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi everyone,
As part of the NS Project (which I didn't even know existed until know - this is great news for us Bluenosers!), I just thought I'd bring attention to a major oversight in this article: Queens County is not 16.86 km². The Seaside Adjunct of Kejimkujik National Park, located in Queens County, is already about 22 km².  Using the population density and the population figures on the page, which seem to be accurate, I have calcuated that the county's total area is likely around 2392.45 km². However, I was not able to find an exact figure anywhere on the Internet; then again, I haven't much time at the moment to do much searching. So, if someone else could find out that info and fix this error, that'd be great. Keith Davies Lehwald 21:23, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Gan Ying

message: Sorry, but Gan Ying did reach a port on the Persian Gulf. Please see my note 10.12 on Yuluo 于羅 [Yü-lo]. = Charax Spasinou which I posted as one of the many notes to my draft translation of the 'Chapter on the Western Regions' from the Hou Hanshu which I posted on the Silk Road Seattle website hosted by the University of Washington quite a few years ago and last updated in 2003. The note can be accessed by going to: . It will help to read it properly if you have the encoding in your browser set on Unicode (UTF-8). Charax Spasinou was the main Parthian port giving access to the Persian Gulf and there was regular trade from there to Egypt (then part of the Roman Empire) at that period. 
If you wish to read or check through the whole draft translation and notes please check the link to the book listed below the main article (I have just fixed the link - which was broken). I should add that since I wrote those notes I have made many updates, corrections, additions and changes to the whole work - so please don't quote it or treat it as if it contains my final observations on any subject. I am hoping to have the expanded and updated version published as a rather large book sometime this year under the title - Through the Jade Gate to Rome.
