Talk:Project Magnet (UFO)

message: My oh my. The lack of (decent) references is staggering. One can expect no less from a ufo-related wikipedia article...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.82.95.82 (talk) 16:53, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

message: What a diversion! From 1953 the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office surveyed the oceans charting the planet's magnetic field. The project used aircraft and, after the development of the proton precession magnetometer from ships. The mission stated from the 1966 report covering early days, U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office Geomagnetic Surveys 1953 — 1965:
:The U. S. Naval Oceanographic Office has been conducting geomagnetic investigations of ocean areas since the initiation of Project MAGNET surveys in 1953. These world-wide airborne surveys provide information for computing and charting all elements of the earth's magnetic field. With the introduction of the proton precession magnetometer, total magnetic intensity measurements could be made routinely from steel-hull ships. Shipboard magnetic surveys have been conducted by this Office since 1957. The information derived from these airborne and shipboard magnetic surveys is necessary to provide for safe navigation of ships and aircraft, to meet special Naval requirements, and to support the scientific research programs of the United States.
The early aircraft was a Super Constellation, nicknamed Roadrunner. Then came several P-3 Orions that flew low level magnetic surveys worldwide. The geophysical ships operated by the office also conducted magnetic observations in the geophysical survey suite. A look at the surveys listed in the 1966 report will show many ship names covered here on Wikipedia. Then some out there begin conflating this UFO thingy with the big U.S.N. project with one UFO site showing a photo of one of the aircraft as a UFO investigation asset. Idiocy.

Not to diss any peruvians, but I just don't think it´s relevant to the article, and it may be more precise to specify he was "criollo" rather than mestizo which would have significantly lowered his social status.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shomon (talk • contribs) 22:55, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:William Caldwell (cricketer)

message: In its electronic version at least, Wisden's obituary of Caldwell (published in the 1965 Almanack) contains errors. As well as giving his name as "The Rev. Somerville Caldwell" (no mention of William), it erroneously gives Caldwell's county as Somerset, while giving his 1903 score against Sussex as 113 instead of the correct 133. There are enough other details to make me reasonably convinced that this is an erroneous obituary of the same man, rather than a correct one of somebody else, so I have not used this obituary as a source here.

Talk:Marcus Thrane

message: These two statements seem to contradict each other:
:"It is however important to note that the labour union lead by Markus Thrane was primarily a labour union for agricultural workers and crofters and can therefore not be seen as a predecessor for Norways later labour movements."
:"Although his movement only existed for a few years, Thrane's work was an important contribution in the politicization of the Norwegian worker. The Norwegian Labor Party (founded in 1887) refers to him as one of its founding fathers. Indeed, the Thrane movement brought the rural and urban lower classes together in common cause for the first time in Norway."

Talk:Maria Fitzherbert

message: There is a secret grave in a clearing about a hundred yards inside the forest near George in South Africa.  I have visited it. There were no signposts to it and no one talked about it. We were told about it by a long time resident and were guided to it in 1960 and told it was the grave of of the son of a roman catholic woman married to the heir to the throne of  England. They said when the illegal marriage became known to the royal family the woman was pensioned off to S.A. with her child.   I always assumed the woman was Mrs. Fitzherbert. Why is there no mention of this part of Mrs. Fitzherbert's life in the article?  Was I incorrectly informed?  Has any one else heard about, or this visited, this grave?

message: The owners of Wootton Hall, Wootton Wawen, Solihull, Warwickshire, UK in the 1980's claimed that Mrs Fitzherbert once lived there. The Hall <B>was</b> the seat of a branch of the Smythe family, but distant from Mrs Fitzherbert's, and <B>no</b> biography of Mrs Fitzherbert mentions it. The claim is principally based on the owner's wife psychically detecting her presence via occasional allegedly paranormal perfume smells, and sightings of a 'Grey Lady'. Unfortunately this erroneous assertion has made it into several subsequent topographical and historical accounts and is in danger of being uncritically quoted as fact.

thread_title:  Orthography 

message: You have said that /e/ or /ɛ/ is a phoneme; however, it only occurs before /j/, /jˀ/, or /ʔ/ as an allophone of /i/. It is written in the orthography only at the request of the elders (who "disliked spellings such as ʔíʔɬx̣ʷaʔ"). In fact, the same or similar allophony occurs with /u/. (Montler 2015)
Montler does NOT call [e] a phoneme. The charts presented are only charts of the characters used in the Klallam orthography. That [e] is indicated in the orthography is an exception, not the rule.
Also: In [paper], cited elsewhere in the article, Montler in fact does analyze Klallam as having four, not five, phonemic vowels.

thread_title:  Bad Citation 

message: I wanted to take a photo of her grave to illustrate this article, but don't know where she is buried. According to the Graceland Cemetery article, some of the graves were moved to Woodlawn cemetery, near the Benning Road metro stop. However, that cemetery apparently is notorious for poor documentation. Clearly, the Maria W. Stewart on findagrave was a Pennsylvania woman who died 8 years before this Maria W. Stewart. Although socialwelfarehistory.com gives Maria's middle initial as M, and similarly relates her burial at Graceland, searching with the changed middle initial doesn't help. I doubt this woman was buried in Kokomo, Indiana, and clearly she wasn't the Maria M. Stewart who died in 1894 and was buried in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. I also noted the photo of Miller at theafricanamericanlectionary.org, but that doesn't list a source. According to gailpelletproductions.com, it's of an actress portraying Stewart in a recent PBS production, rather than actually of Stewart who died decades before the 1923 copyright witching date, Thus, I haven't uploaded it here or on Commons.Jweaver28 (talk) 12:23, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Maria White Lowell

message: I just want to acknowledge a possible discrepancy in Maria White's birthdate. Her birth year is listed here as 1821, which matches her headstone at Mount Auburn Cemetery. This source gives her birth as 1827. This would mean she was married at age 17 (to a man 8 years older), which is certainly not unusual for the period.

message: I've been trying to track down the origination of the "two hearts that beat as one" quote.  The Internet has many people claiming it was from Keats, but I haven't found evidence to support this.  I have found that the quote appears in the play "Ingomar the Barbarian", but there are two odd things about its authorship:
1 - Most sources give the author's name as "Maria Lovell".  Is this Maria White Lowell?
2 - A few sources (e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Ingomar-barbarian-Frenchs-standard-drama/dp/B0008949A0/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1333733813&sr=1-3) give authorship to Friedrich Halm.  Is it possible that Lovell/Lowell was merely the translator?
