Talk:Kingdom of Lunda

message: As I understand the definition of an empire, according to what I've seen on wiki anyhow, the Lunda state is a kingdom and not an empire. The people who controlled this state were the majority population. The people it brought into the state were usually tribes or clans from the same ethnic group. That being said, the Lunda seem to fit more a nation-model than an empire model. By contrast, the Mandinka, the British, the Romans and Songhai were virtual minorities within their respective empires. Size wise, the Lunda look like an empire. No doubt about that. But politics wise, they were a pretty homogenous kingdom (ethnic-wise) or at minimum a confederation of very similar tribes. That being said, I'm going to move the page from Lunda Empire to Kingdom of Lunda. I will maintain a redirect for the Lunda Empire tho, since that term does appear in literature quite a bit.

thread_title:  Kingdom instead of Empire 

message: As I understand it, the Lunda empire continued to exist under Belgian colonial rule with a degree of autonomy. If that's indeed the case, when did the kingdom "end"? I very much doubt 1887 as currently stated. —Brigade Piron (talk) 21:01, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Hugh Barrett-Lennard

message: If this page is deleted, please leave a note on my talk page explaining the reason. Rjm at sleepers 09:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I have recently edited this page and discovered it is due for deletion. Sir Hugh took part in the Campaign for NW Europe 1944-5 with 2nd Bn. Essex Regt. part of 56 Independent Infantry Brigade. This ws an interesting and unusual Brigade as the only Independent Infantry Brigade to take part in the Normandy Landings apart from Special Service, Paratroop or Commando units.
It fought throughout to the end of the war without relief suffering high casualties.
Father Hugh as a 2nd Lt. and later Captain played an important role within one of 56 IIB's Battalions and recieved a Mention in Dispatches.
Just after the war he set up a school for soldiers due for demob in Berlin
At the commemoration ceremonies for the 50th Anniversary of D-Day he played an important part in the Service at Bayeux Cathedral.
Fr. Hugh later was Parish Priest with the London Oratory.
I believe it is worth maintaining information on Fr. Hugh on this website.

Talk:Ferrihydrite

message: The concern on the neutrality of viewpoints implied by the sentence 'A new structural model was proposed in 2007[17], but shown to be incorrect.[18][19][11]' has been resolved by rephrasing the sentence to 'A new structural model was proposed and has been refuted'.

message: Completely in agreement with remarks by DIV (128.250.204.118 09:49, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major work accomplished on this article 

message: The article is quite wrong.
Ferrihydrite is a poorly crystalline / nanocrystalline ferric oxyhydroxide with indeterminate formula (but see references below for better approximations).
FeOOH would represent poorly crystalline goethite, which is something entirely different.
Prior to its official recognition in 1973, ferrihydrite precipitates were often called "hydrous ferric oxide" (or HFO).  
...Unfortunately, some non-experts continue to refer to ferrihydrite as HFO and they/others also refer to other indeterminate/amorphous/nanocrystalline phases (e.g. poorly crystalline goethite) as HFO too.
To at least get the basic facts right see
* JOHN L. JAMBOR and JOHN E. DUTRIZAC;  “Occurrence and Constitution of Natural and Synthetic Ferrihydrite, a Widespread Iron Oxyhydroxide”;  Chemical Reviews;  American Chemical Society;  1998;  98 (7): pp. 2549–2585.

message: A description of Eric Shipton and his party's first visit to the arch is detailed in his wife Diana Shipton's book The Antique Land, published in 1950, in the chapter The Elusive Arch. The Shipton's party photographed the arch. The book also mentions a return visit with further people. My copy, published in 1987, has a chapter heading featuring a drawing of the arch, which was presumably also in the original (the book is available on Open Library if anyone wants to check). 2A00:23C4:6B1D:8501:D0A:2844:EC86:5B83 (talk) 10:51, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not really a concerned editor. The only reason this was on my watchlist was because I just reverted a bunch of deletions by a sockpuppet account User:142.150.205.36, and was surprised to find some of them being redone. Maybe you're right in general. But in this example, and the other one I looked at, the Sourcewatch article had useful material that wasn't in the Wikipedia article or the remaining external links. I've added it in this case, but I don't plan to spend a lot more time doing this. JQ 04:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

text: As regards the criterion "provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article." the one-para Harvard bio fails this much more clearly than does the Sourcewatch article.

Talk:SUBST

message: Just a note about my previous change. I removed references to "DOS on Windows XP" (or Windows 2000) because there is no such thing as a "DOS prompt" or "DOS windows" on the Windows operating systems (NT, 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista.) DOS is a different and separate operating system which does not exist on Windows (except in Windows 98 and older systems.) Instead, it should be called the "Command Prompt", "Command Window", "The Win32 Command Prompt" etc.
I tried adding a reference, but gave up eventually. Can somebody fix the formatting on this one please? It's meant to be an external link to a https site... 85.3.157.46 (talk) 18:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Dan Debicella

message: Referring to the following passage in the current version of the article:
Debicella was one of three State Senators to vote against requiring health care facilities to provide emergency contraception to victims of sexual assault.[41] While defending this vote during the 2008 campaign, Debicella stated, "On the rape bill all I voted against was a bill allowing morning-after contraception to be issued to victims."[42] This comment was heavily criticized by Democrats, including his opponent, Janice Andersen, who called it "insensitive to rape victims." Debicella defended his position by explaining that he supports access to emergency contraception but opposes forcing Catholic hospitals, who would have been affected by the bill, to go against their religious beliefs, and said Andersen was "using an emotional issue for political gain."[43]
Should the quote "On the rape bill all I voted against was a bill allowing morning-after contraception to be issued to victims" be included and how should it be treated? Discussion has arrived at 4 possible ways forward:
#Leave the passage as above.
#Keep a passage similar to above, but explicitly clarify that the quote is not factually correct, since the vote was about requiring, not allowing, emergency contraception.
#Keep a passage similar to above, but remove the quote and mention that Debicella's position and comments were contentious with a citation link to a source that reproduces the quote.
#Shorten the entire passage to one or two sentences, without the quote.

Talk:100 mm anti-tank gun T-12

message: Made changes to the page but did not end up publishing them fully (Video footage of MT12 employment can be verified) due to the warning about using blog posts, based off the video and posts found here:
https://andrei-bt.livejournal.com/139945.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C77NLp-He1I&t=285s
It seems the MT-12 was used in combat by the Moldovan military against the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR)'s small force of T-64BV tanks in the battle, scoring a mobility kill on one via engine damage, and killing the commander of another via a hit to the turret. The footage shown in the youtube video confirms the mobility kill, but I only have the article stating the turret penetration of the other tank resulting in the death of its commander, "A. Smirnov". The post states that information came from interviewees of the author, and the footage from "S. Skrypnyk". 
From what I can tell, the article seems to be accurate insofar as it speaks of use of the MT-12.  BucketBoss25 (talk) 23:43, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
