Talk:Hugo von Hofmannsthal

message: The only external link for this site was dead.  We need to find another with decent content.
The German-language WP has a long article on Hofmannsthal. I'm translating & adapting some of that. As the article grows in length, it also seemed worthwhile to separate the biographical information from the discussion of his thought & philosophy. Herbivore (talk) 22:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Birthplace

message: I realise that the views on English culture attributed to Hofmannsthal are probably from a quoted source, but where can he have read Nelson's poetry?  Or, for that matter, an account of Milton's military exploits?   Perhaps the notion was simply that English popular culture admires (allegedly) both military and literary celebrities equally and without any notion of hereditary aristocracy - lucky for Nelson he pursued his military career in a meritocratic service.93.96.231.233 (talk) 11:58, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I was confused about Nelson's poetry and Milton's war heroics too. I think the sense is "The English admired not only war heroes, but also poets: not only Nelson, but also Milton."

There is no longer a Deas Island bridge, as stated in the article, there is instead an earthen berm at its northeastern tip connecting it to mainland Delta.

thread_title: Yamanami's reason to escape

message: "塾頭" (Jukutou) is the "School Head," not one of the Senior Instructors (師範.)
Okita became the 塾頭 (Head Coach) at the Shieikan in 1861.  Since Hijikata was officially enrolled at the Tennen Rishin Ryu school in 1859 and Yamanami was enrolled in 1860, they could only be Assistant Instructors (師範代).  As for Inoue, he did have his "family business" (farming) to attend to and I believe he usually coached at the Tennen Rishin Ryu's dojos in Hino, rather than at the Shieikan.

thread_title: "Head Coach"

message: I wasn't going to at first, but considering I had to manually correct this whole article and go to numerous other Shinsengumi articles to correct those, I felt it needs documentation on this talk page.
An IP editor with 3 different IPs, changed Yamanami's name to "Sannan" and claimed there was consensus to do so on the JapanWiki version of this page. I checked it out  and the "consenus" was a single editor. Further, the ip editor claims "sannan" is widely accepted, I strongly beg to differ. In numerous texts, bios, and cultural references, the pronunciation of his name is presented as Yamanami.  The ip editor's claim is un-sourced, therefore OR, and if they got it from Hakuouki, that is not a RS. In PMK, I think I recall him being called "sannan" as a nickname, but he was still Yamanami. This was a real person, not an anime character, RS use "Yamanami." I will assume good faith, but keep in mind consensus also depends upon sources, not just one person that speaks Japanese. When it comes to names especially, Japanese people get kanji pronunciations confused/ argue about them often, sometimes dialects and/or time period lead to different common usages. Next time before making such a major change, ask on the talk page first. Consensus must be achieved on each respective version of wiki, separately...but one person is definitely not consensus.

Why then did so many Americans join the Communist Party or had a positive and neutral attitude towards communism and socialism, why then it was necessary to pursue a policy of McCarthyism in America, well, not only the USSR but also the USA were involved in a tough foreign policy then, the Cold War still unfolded and the countries were engaged in aggressive policy mutually, so this paragraph seems unnecessary and delusional to me, to be honest 37.54.230.242 (talk) 21:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: I saw some edits removing info that had come from reputable sources (NBC News article) and changing what was written about his later years at NASA.  These edits were done by bobcrippen on 08-06-2021 and 01-18-2022.  I was suspicious but after checking into them, they seem correct.  The article previously said that he was deputy director of Shuttle Operations under George Abbey from July 1987 to December 1989 and the user bobcrippen changed this to say he worked under Arnie Aldrich.  This seemed to contradict what was referenced in the oral histories project link.
Long story short, user bobcrippen was correct.  From 1984-1986, he was deputy director of flight crew operations under George Abbey who was Director of Flight Crew Operations.  Following the Challenger disaster and mishap review board, he became deputy director of Shuttle Operations from 1987-1989 under Arnie Aldrich.  The prior stint as deputy director of flight crew operations seemed to be a minor managerial posting so many sources don't mention it.
As to whether the user bobcrippen is actually the individual this article is about, I dunno.  Maybe he is.  Jay Barbree's NBC article claimed that Crippen personally chartered a scallop boat with his own funds to try to find the remains of Jarvis following the Challenger disaster but the user denied this happened.  If the user is Mr. Crippen, then maybe Barbree's claim is false.  I'd rather err on the side of not including false information so I think that stuff about the scallop boat should not be in the article unless further confirmed.Jasonkwe (talk) 21:54, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Since then, Grasse's perfumed gloves became a must-have symbol of the nobility of the time, so much so that in 1614 the King created the title of “Maître Gantier-Parfumeur” (Master of Glovemaking and Perfume)"

Talk:Machinist Mate

message: The word, "screw" used in the article needs to go through a disambiguation process, but I don't know how to do that, and, anyway, it would grate on me if I linked it to a page that talks about a ships "propellors." Aircraft have propellors; ships have screws. The rotating metal object that is located below the water line and propels the ship by means of its blades slicing through the water is a screw, so named because it functions like a wood screw biting its way into a piece of wood. A propellor generally is a device that functions on Bernoulli's principle of reduced fluid pressure above a curved surface in a moving fluid flow. One reason the difference is important is that a screw usually is designed to prevent significant drops in fluid pressure, because this can lead to a phase change in the fluid, a destructive and noisy event that is called cavitation. Propellor designers don't have to concern themselves with cavitation because air isn't likely to change phase from the motion of a propellor. Pooua 18:37, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Now that the rating has been merged with Boiler Techs and divided into separate groups, the cutoffs may have changed, and the consequences to Nucs who get a lower score may have changed.
