thread_title: Untitled

message: The region didn't have any Hungarian name before 1921 because it wasn't an independent entity. Later most Hungarians accepted the new German name - the province is always called Burgenland by the media, books etc. Some Hungarians prefer the translation of the name (Várvidék) but they are a minority. I deleted Lajtabanság and Felső-Őrvidék. The first was the name of a short-lived autonomous state in 1921 and it has never been used since then. The later (indeed it is Felső-Őrség) is the name of a small microregion around Oberwart. Zello 16:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The "Várvidék" is a wrong appelattion of Burgenland in Hungarian language. This name is translated from Germany...and the Germanian name was created from 3 Hungarian villages name (ÖdenBURG (Sopron), WieselBURG (Moson), EisenBURG (Vas) => BURGenland). Some people recently using, but false.
Yes, Várvidék is a translation but that doesn't mean that it is "false". The other two names are similarly modern because there wasn't any Hungarian name for the region before 1921. We have 3 relatively new names for the province, and I don't see any reason to say that one of them is "false" but the other two are not. There isn't such generally accepted rule that translated names are always "false". Of course most people simply use the German name and minor groups prefer the other three. If some people use this name you should mention it even if you don't like it - Wikipedia is not about personal taste. But I wrote a new section about the names to explain the situation.

Talk:Mobile Bay

message: 72.159.2.254 18:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Article says: It is the largest natural bay on the Gulf of Mexico and also the second largest bay in the U.S., behind Chesapeake Bay. There is no mention of how large the bay actually is in square miles, and my google search failed, but given the dimensions of the bay I estimate it at about 300-400 square miles. There are many many larger bays in the United States, such as Delaware Bay and San Francisco Bay, in addition to Chesapeake Bay. Some very large bays whose size I could not determine but are clearly much larger than Mobile include Bristol Bay and other bays in Alaska, and Saginaw Bay. So "second largest in the United States" is wrong. As for largest bay on the Gulf of Mexico (I'm assuming "in the United States" is unsaid here), there seem to be several larger bays: Florida Bay (800-1000 sq mi) and Galveston Bay (600 sq mi). Matagorda Bay is about 350 sq mi, about equal to Mobile Bay. Then there are others, clearly quite large but harder to find stats for, like Apalachee Bay, Whitewater Bay, Atchafalaya Bay, and Barataria Bay. 
Anyway, long story short: I'm removing that claim. Pfly (talk) 05:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

:I don't believe that's the correct album cover. Well, it is in America, but the Telstar cover you mention above is from the English version, and I'd say that was the 'primary' release because: 1) Ladytron are mostly English and from England (as a band), and 2) it was released 5 months before the Emperor Norton version.

Talk:Seaman recruit

message: I don't know where you obtained the information that wound up in your article, but advancement to Seaman Apprentice is not automatic upon graduation from basic training. As a matter of fact, it isn't even timed to seem as though it is automatic! It takes 6 months to advance from Seaman Recruit to Seaman Apprentice. That means that upon graduation from basic training, a Seaman Recruit must wait 4 months to become advanced to the "rank" of Seaman Apprentice. The only way around this is to become advanced to E2 or E3 before basic training, or to become meritoriously advanced during basic training. Thank you.

message: Since they've been lacking citation for nearly a year, I've removed the statements asserting that Ilmatar was invented by Lönnrot. (One citation had been provided; however, the link, when I tried it last year, was dead.) 
I've searched for evidence to support the removed statements, and months ago I left a message on the Talk page of the person who originally inserted them, as well as to another person who has contributed to this article, but I have not found any evidence nor have I received any replies.
However, on page 138 of University of Helsinki, Department of Comparative Religion professor Juha Pentikäinen's book "Kalevala Mythology" (Indiana University Press, 1999), the Finnish folk tradition and "Kalevala" composition are discussed, and it is written:
"It is also possible that Ukko, as god of air and thunder, may even have been the father of Ilmatar. In that case Lönnrot had, in fact, constructed a version of the poem which included the frequently found mythological theme of primordial incest between two deities who were father and daughter."
This seems to indicate that Ilmatar was not invented by Lönnrot but existed already in folk poetry. If anyone finds evidence otherwise, please add it to the article.

Talk:Ralf und Florian

message: I would say the translation "In Düsseldorf on the Rhine, it sounds quickly" is rather faulty. "Bald" doesn't so much translate as "quickly", but as "soon".
A translation could be: "In Düsseldorf on the Rhine, it soon will sound" as this probably covers the context as well as the proper translation.
"the sound gets around" is a bit misleading as well as it focusses too much on "sound". It's just a wordplay. The context is that the "word" will get around.
"Im Düsseldorf am Rhein, klingt es bald!" where "klingt" might refer to the newly build "Kling Klang" studio.
"It will soon sound" is not a good translation, because no native English speaker would ever construct such a phrase. The word "sound" is never used as a verb in such a way. A bell or a broadcast might be said to "ring out" over a city, but not to "sound out" - to "sound something out" means to investigate something, to guage opinion. Kling Klang studio was not given its name until c.1976, so the phrase can't refer to it specifically.--feline1 09:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I have read Hütter say in interviews that he and Schneider began their work together with the formation of their own studio in 1968. Of course, when he says "studio", have may mean "room with our instruments in it", as opposed to the elaborate multitrack recording facility which Klingklang later evolved into...
