Talk:Franco-Prussian War

message: Going through the sources, and doing a quick google search, it seems that the WP:COMMONNAME might actually be "Franco-German War" (this would be in line with the names in German and French, incidentally); before starting a RM I would like to hear some more opinions, though.

thread_title:  aftermath/analysis section 

message: "These actions, which were not systematically investigated or prosecuted by the Prussian government in the immediate aftermath of the conflict, have been widely documented and condemned by historians and human rights organizations." Number of citations: 0. I'm not saying it didn't happen, because it always happens, but if it is in any way notable surely it must be as widely documented as the article claims? Or is it just propaganda? Which is the appearance the article currently gives without a decent source, and certainly not ideal for anybody involved. Let's also not forget the French were pillaging the German countryside when they started the war and invaded (as stated by the article itself). Pseudoantiquasi (talk) 22:06, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  War crimes 

message: Discussion of unnecessary editorial additions to the text from user POV. Random noter (talk) 18:52, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's actually true, then why delete it? It seems to me that such an action of yours is already strange. So much time has passed since these events, 150 years, that you can already see reality as it is.  Prussian-Germany was preoccupied with the issue of justifying the continuation of the war after the fall of the regime of Napoleon III. Prussia-Germany wanted the annexation of the French provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. France did not agree with this, and therefore the war continues. Therefore, Prussia-Germany had to justify for itself and for world public opinion the continuation of the war. After the new government announced its desire to end the war and compensate the Germans for losses. 95.25.13.8 (talk) 06:08, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:FIA

message: To anyone who might be listening: I think that, while "freedom of information act" turns up vastly more Google hits than "federation internationale de l'automobile," the latter is much more commonly known by its acronym. On the what-links-here page () there are two links that refer to the former FIA, compared to eleven that refer to the latter, and the reason there are so few of even the latter is that the authors of the motorsport pages are used to disambiguating their FIA links.
Consequently, I am going to redirect FIA to Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile and put a notice about Freedom of Information Acts at the top (I think that's the proper protocol). Rdsmith4 03:51, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inaccurate pressure/wind graphic 

message: There's some question about whether the mistral is a north or northwest wind.  Meteo France defines the mistral as a north wind, but the traditional Provencal compass rose displayed on the coastal walk in Toulon shows it as a northwest wind, with the tramontane being the north wind.   It seems that the Tramontane is major wind from the north to the west of the Rhone, while the mistral is the name for the wind coming from the north to the east,  from the Camargue to somewhere east of Toulon.   Does that make sense?  Does anybody have any other information on this?   Thanks. SiefkinDR (talk) 16:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: The wind that continuously sweeps down the Rhône is the Mistral, no? You mention other winds, but we know only the name Mistral. When I was young, the summers of 1979-1980 were so incredibly hot we took cold baths several times a day. In 2003, hundreds died from the heat (and thousands across France). Le Gardon dried to a trickle. So, my thermometer says it's cold except when it's hot. Leave it if you wish, maybe it is other winds, but when the Paris experts come south, perhaps they should step off the air-conditioned TGV some time. --UnicornTapestry (talk) 21:00, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  '''''Always''''' Cold? 

message: In 1972 I took a summer course in Avignon and boarded with a French family. Not very astute in science, they told me that, although the Mistral typically lasts 2 or 3 days, if it starts on Friday, it will end by Saturday to avoid spoiling the weekend. They claimed to have observed this many times. If this is widely believed, it might be worthy of inclusion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dynzmoar (talk • contribs) 12:08, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

As for the comment above about the mistral, I'm pretty certain that the mistral is not a sea breeze (which is a micro-climate scale phenomenon) but rather it is related to cylones being in particular positions (which is a synoptic scale phenomenon - Synoptic scale meteorology.
