Talk:Stephen Maturin

message: I think it's quite telling that the page devoted to Stephen Maturin is of much greater quality than the page on Jack Aubrey, who is also a fascinating character in his own right.  It is interesting that the Aubrey page seems to be inspired by the movie, while the Maturin page is clearly concerned with O'Brian's own complex depiction.  Sigma-6 23:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The level of understanding which O'Brian brings to the period is phenomenal. A few historians have begun to take interest in the themes identified by him and used it to drive changes in interpretive history. Check out the Beinart source in the Aubrey-Maturin series article.

thread_title:  Spy 

message: I just noticed that this article was in the hurling culture category, which apparently led it to being added to the Gaelic games Wikiproject. That doesn't make sense. I've read the Aubrey/Maturin series more times than I'd like to admit, and the only mention of any Gaelic game that I can recall is a comedic scene in which Dr. Maturin is confused by rules of cricket but mentions that he was an excellent player in his youth. He briefly joins the action and does something which apparently is appropriate in hurling but not in cricket - I honestly didn't get the joke since I don't know much about either sport, but the rest of the crew reacted with a mix of mirth and shock. In any case, both the match and the conversation are interrupted by a call to action immediately thereafter. I do not believe that hurling is mentioned at any other point in the entire series. A couple of paragraphs out of twenty-one novels isn't enough to link the good doctor to a bunch of articles about actual hurlers or the Gaelic games in general, imo.

Talk:Hemishofen

message: : Hemishofen has a population (as of 2008) of 415, of which 11.8% are foreign nationals.  Of the foreign population, (as of 2008), 56.3% are from Germany, 8.3% are from Italy, 2.1% are from Croatia, and 33.3% are from another country.
So that's 27.57011 Germans, 4.06451 Italians, 1.02837 Croatians and 16.30701 others.  Why couldn't we simply say that?
Seriously, though — 11.8% of 415 is 49, but you can't divide an integer by 49 and get 56.3% or 8.3% or 33.3%.  The true number of foreigners must be 48 — implying that either 415 or 11.8% must be wrong.  —Tamfang (talk) 21:27, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Manuel García (baritone)

message: My name is Diana Garcia, and I am the 2x great granddaughter of Manuel Garcia Jr. 
I noticed the sketch of Manuel using a laryngoscope, and the discussion about his invention. My family owns the original mirror and u-shaped scope that Manuel used. It is is framed with a sketch of Manuel done by his sister, Pauline Viardot.  There frame also has a wooden label, identifying the display as what I have described above. I wondered if it would be useful if sent you a photo of this to add to the article, as I have a fairly good, clear photograph.  I don't think that these items have been seen by others, to date, as they have been in the family's collection. So, I thought it might be of interest to add it to the article on Manuel Garcia Jr. and or to the Laryngoscope article.  
Also, the article on Oscar Natzka says Albert Garcia was one of his singing teachers. However, when you click on the link to Albert, it takes you to a modern day baseball player. I have information on and a photo of Albert, if you would like to correct that, as Albert was my grandfather.

Talk:Caldera de Taburiente National Park

message: The Spanish word "Caldera" has the same meaning as the English word "Cauldron" meaning a "large bowl. The term caldera was first recorded in 1815 by the great German geologist - Leopold von Buch, who toured the archipelago. During his visit he was taken to a place "...Where the very ground looked as if it had been spewed out of the bowels of the Earth..." When he asked his guide what the place was called he was told "...Señor, this is the Caldera de las Cañadas..." He later visited La Palma and when he saw the caldera Taburiente he noted in his journal that "...Though it is called a caldera..." by his guides, "...It was immediately obvious that the processes that had created the Caldera de las Cañadas on Tenerife, had not been involved in the formation of the caldera Taburiente..." and he considered that "...The caldera was created by the very rocks being carried away by rivers and landslides..." The italics are quotes taken from the journal of von Buch. For a long time geologists referred to calderas and cauldrons in almost the same breath. The Glen Coe caldera in Scotland was called "The Glen Coe Cauldron" by Clough, Maufe and Bailey who first mapped it. Now the term is generally used by almost all geologists, but it actually originated in Tenerife as far as geology is concerned - La Palma came second.The Geologist (talk) 16:38, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Peñalara

message: The theory proposed for the origin of the name Peñalara is unreferenced and rather far-fetched, with an unlikely marriage of Celtic, Arabian and Egyptian origins. Given that Peña means rock in Spanish, and that Lara is a well-known surname of medieval Castilian nobility, Occam's razor would favour the far simpler meaning of "Lara's Rock". This is one of the two theories proposed in the Spanish version of the article, which reads (Google translation): 
García Pérez elaborates and substantiates the second of these theories as follows (edited Google translation):
In view of the above, I would suggest the Ben Allah Ra hypothesis be removed and replaced by the far more likely Peña de Lara hypothesis.

Talk:Picos de Europa

message: Interesting controversy as to origin of the name (translated into English as "The Peaks of Europe"). I personally doubt that the origin stated as a fact is true, although I am sure that the the reference has been in use since time immemorial, which in itself does not make it any truer. We clearly need someone to find a reference... 
Ships reaching Europe from America in the early days of its discovery would surely have headed for Cádiz and Seville, in which case the Picos would almost certainly not have been visible from the sea (too much distance and other mountain ranges in between). Ships returning to Galicia (didn't Columbus return there?)or Portugal (Oporto?) may possibly have seen the Picos, in which case ... Looking forward to feedback on this one.
