Talk:Bebington

message: I have removed the following paragraph from the article (and its associated image):
Bebington also has a claim to fame in that St. Andrews church yard features the lamp-post that was supposedly the real-life inspiration for the lamp-post in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles Of Narnia.
This unverified statement was added by an anonymous IP in May 2006 and has been tagged since December 2007. Since then, no citation has been forthcoming, with only the lamppost image added a few weeks later. If anyone can provide any reliable sources to verify this statement then please restore it to the article. Thanks. Snowy 1973 (talk) 12:44, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  St Andrew's Church lamp-post & Narnia 

message: The article needs to have greater clarity over the different definitions of Bebington that exist.  The former municipal borough covered a much wider area - see the large map in the article on Civil parishes in Merseyside - than merely Higher and Lower Bebington, for example.  It is not "nonsense" to say that places like Port Sunlight, New Ferry and Spital are part of Bebington - historically, they certainly were.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:59, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not from the area but as you mention "The former Municipal Borough" this is historical, can be recorded as so, I guess, but all these places are independent areas for sureBabydoll9799 (talk) 23:02, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: You mean in terms of postal address?  That's fairly significant, but not the whole story. Many people write "Oxton, Wirral", for example, but it's still part of Birkenhead.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:14, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  True, ie New Brighton. But these are places in their own right like Moreton, West Kirby, Heswall, etc. Babydoll9799 (talk) 11:38, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: "Places in their own right" is a meaningless expression - but, there are inconsistencies in the article.  For instance, the ward boundaries for which the population is shown - see here - is far smaller than the old borough.  My point is that the article should explain these differences in definition, rather than trying to impose a single definition. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:03, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Public Enemy

message: New album, Loud Is Not Enough, was released April 1, 2020 under the name Enemy Radio, not Public Enemy Radio as earlier promos had stated it would be. This seems to imply it was changed due to Flavor Flav's lawsuit over Chuck D's use of the "Public Enemy" name for this project. However, as with Flav's status there isn't anything definitive in the music press just speculation. --WarEqualsPeace (talk) 15:02, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Additionally, Khari Wynn is still officially the current music director, DO NOT delete him" It is my understanding that Flavor Flav is still a member as he is all over the new album, and that the musical director does not count as a member. Griff still performs with the group sometimes and is listed as a member on their facebook(as well as Flavor) so not sure how to handle that, but he didn't leave shortly after he rejoined like it says.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.213.85.122 (talk) 15:03, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Erythrocyte sedimentation rate

message: Under the heading "Normal Values", in the subsection "Adults", there is a serious contradiction between the formula for ESR and the table beneath it.  According to the table, for a 90-year old man, the normal upper limit for ESR value is 19. But according to the formula, the normal upper limit is (90 + 0)/2 = 45.
It is true that one of these limits is a 98% confidence limit and the other is a 95% confidence limit. But it is difficult to imagine that both of these can be correct. The discrepancy is too large to be credible. Kruskal (talk) 21:48, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Rouleaux form is what affects sedimentation rate, not density.

Talk:Horse archer

message: Suggested links http://www.intlhorsearchery.org/ International Horse Archery Festival
http://www.atarn.org/chinese/horseback/chinese_horseback_archery.htm Very nice site on Chinese practices. Quite detailed.
Countering horse archers 
Ancient armies used combinations of light (and fast ) infantry armed with spears or bows and light and/or heavy cavalry. light infantry restricts horse archers' maneuver field and gives an opportunity to friendly cavalry to charge against them. horse archers' power comes from their speed and hit&run tactics. If a horse archer group lose these advantages they become ordinary cavalry. But this is a hard work. 'cause horse archers mostly evades this kind of situations and  play the game by their rules.  mkayapali
I think mounted archer term is much relevant to dragoons or mounted infantry who rides to battlefield on horse, then dismount and fight as a regular infantry. But a horse archer is a horseman who uses composite bow on horseback, attacks by volleys of arrows then runs back. This is the difference between horse archers and mounted archers. (In my opinion)mkayapali
:It is a combination of both. They shoot volleys of arrows and can ride back to shoot more or can engage the enemy on horseback with a melee weapon or dismount and engage in melee.
question: how do you stop horse archers in ancient warfare?
is this even the right title? in my understanding, a "horse archer" is an archer who is also a horse... normally, they are called "mounted archers". I admit that "horse archer" gets some non.WP google hits, but at first glance not very authoritative ones. dab 20:38, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I have expanded the article, adding the tactical uses of cav archers in ancient warfare and reorganizing the sections into 'Appearances in History' and 'Technology'
"Horse archers were eventually rendered obsolete by the development of modern firearms 
The 16th century Cuirassiers were heavy cavalry equipped with firearms.." ''
These sentences I left intact, because I was unsure of what to do with them. The development of modern firearms did not necessarily put an end to cavalry tactics, but it did see the gradual replacement of bows with firearms, leastways in Europe. I don't have much information on firearms in respect to cavalry archers in the east, so I can't really replace this statement with anything. The latter statement, I have just checked, is correct. I'll add a part about Dragoons, another type of cavalry equipped with firearms.

thread_title:  Firearm-equipped cavalry 

message: I believe the correct title is "cavalry archers".And the primary way to counter cavalry was by formations of pikemen or phalanxes. However though with the introduction of firearms the usage of cavalry gradually lessened in importance (and I think replaced the pike?), because a peasant armed with a musket with a little bit of practice could easily kill a knight with years of training. 72.197.133.100 20:44, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The passage about the descendants of Confucius is controversial because his ethnicity is described as "Dong-Yi" a designation as non-Han chinese and likely from a Korean group. The passage about Confucious in this article is needlessly divisive and biased toward a Han chauvanist point of view, and is an example of chinese historical revisionism, one of many examples promoted by china currrently.
The passage around Empress Ki had a problematic tone and was unbalanced in its content. It needed to be put into historic context better or else removed entirely.  Empress Ki herself was an important figure in East Asian history and needed to be treated much better than the cursory way it was originally written, again likely from a Han-chinese chauvanist contributor.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumaiyahle (talk • contribs) 21:36, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
