Talk:Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen

thread_title: University of California bio for "Otto J. Mänchen Helfen" 

message: I have added some information to the page for Otto J. Mänchen Helfen, but there are some basic things which need to be done which I do not know how to do.:
1) Mänchen-Helfen was born in Austria and emigrated to the United States, so he was not German. While of course it would be nice if more information were provided, there would seem to be no need to include him in WikiProject Germany --- unless "Germany" here is intended to be as all-inclusive as possible.
2) Because Mänchen-Helfen spent the greater part of his career in the USA, and by far the greater part of his books and articles appeared using the spelling "Maenchen" instead of "Mänchen", it seems more appropriate to list the article under "Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen". How does one (do I) change the spelling in the title of the article? (Also, the hyphen is missing in the title as it now stands.)
My mind is pretty foggy here.... not surprising considering my name (Nebelhorn)

thread_title:  General Cleanup 

message: Currently alot of this article seems to deal with the location of the site and/or speculation on the origins of Etruscan society, thus it wanders quite far from the article's scope and into areas more suited for discussion boards or similar places, i personally find it very interesting, but it's not very encyclopedic and is confusing in that context, unfortunately my knowledge of the topic is not sufficient for me to fix it myself. I have tagged a few dubious assertions with a need for citations (since this article also lacks citations) and will do my best to try to help out. I don't mean to offend anyone as I think the article does in fact have alot of useful information, it just needs some organization and sources. GTMusashi 23:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Speculation? 

message: The article says of the Clusium involved in the Roman-Etruscan wars:
"The Roman city remodeled an earlier Etruscan city ..." 
It's not clear what the term "remodeled" means in this context. Remodeled, besides meaning the making of a model again, can mean to "renew, renovate, re-create, repair" or "to change or alter the structure, style, or form of (something)." In the context of a city, remodeled as a synonym for re-created would make the most sense. However, to say the earlier Clusium was re-created in the newer city involves a conscious attempt to make the later one similar to the earlier one in either physical structure, or political structure, or both. It's possible this is what is intended, but I doubt it. Did the people from the earlier Clusium actually move to a new site or did some later culture decide to make their city like the old one? 
Perhaps a less formal re-copying is intended. If so, the phrase "modeled after" would be more appropriate. Alternatively, perhaps what is meant is simply that it is named after that city. Anyone know this history? Ileanadu (talk) 14:33, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Subjective/marketing-like assertions about faculties 

message: This article presents the history of the original Bauhaus Weimar as the history of the present Bauhaus-Universität, claiming continuity without properly addressing the "political reasons" that mark the stark institutional and intellectual break post-Gropius, and without really acknowledging the legacy of the Bauhaus Dessau. This is of course how the University wishes to paint its public image, but I believe that the discussion of its pre-1925 history is irrelevant and better covered on Bauhaus.

Talk:Zittau–Oybin/Jonsdorf railway

message: Hi, I don't agree with the latest move of this article. "Zittauer Schmalspurbahn" in german language is only a marketing brand being used within the last few years (and thus appearing in recent literature (only)). It certainly does not refer to the long history of this narrow-gauge railway line. The previous title Zittau–Kurort Oybin/Kurort Jonsdorf railway is timeless, no matter of operators at a certain time and marketing brands at a certain time. It reflects the exact termini of this line – at any time. Not even the article in de-WP is named Zittauer Schmalspurbahn (redirect only). Regards,--Kleeblatt187 (talk) 17:15, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. This has been moved in order to promote the use of "narrow-gauge" with a hyphen on Wikipedia. The move is inappropriate here, nor is it wrong to use the unhyphenated version of "narrow gauge" in the text e.g. see here. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:38, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

text: Actually, though, let's leave out the German/Russian word Kurort, as English speakers won't have a clue what that is.  Probably Zittau–Oybin/Jonsdorf, or the much more common in books Zittau–Oybin–Jonsdorf would be better. Dicklyon (talk) 05:46, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: "Zittau–Oybin–Jonsdorf" suggests that the line runs from Zittau via Oybin to Jonsdorf, which is wrong and misleading. The line resp. the network is Y-shaped with Oybin and Jonsdorf being two different termini. The combination "Zittau–Oybin–Jonsdorf" appears a few times in old sources (see your link given above), obviously because the first company to operate the line was named like this. Younger sources use "Zittau–Oybin/Jonsdorf". The Kurort is part of the official stations' names, thus fully correct, but I'm not going to fight for this detail. So lets go for Zittau–Oybin/Jonsdorf railway. --Kleeblatt187 (talk) 07:28, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Many stories surrounding the use of the steam donkey speak of men who were "cut in half" when cables snapped.  Supposedly, operating the donkey was one of the most dangerous, and high-paying jobs on a logging operation.  An episode on the Discovery Channel's "Mythbusters" explored this cable-snapping-myth, and the results of tests with pig carcasses suggest that a person cannot be cut in half with a cable.  (This could be referenced if anyone can find a the episode's transcript.)  I think it was still a dangerous job due to the fact that the boilers periodically exploded.
