Talk:Red coat (military uniform)

message: "Following the discomfort experienced by troops in the Crimean War, a more practical tunic was introduced in 1855"
This passage is erronous and based on a misconception that the earliest double-breasted tunic adopted in the British army was adopted as a result of the Crimean war. It was in fact authorised as a replacement for the coatee in 1854 but too late to be rolled out for troops forming the 'Black Sea expedition'  who then ended up in the Crimea in autumn 1854. Units started receiving replacements  clothed in the tunic, as well as individual officers who had to supply their own in 1855. In addition, regiments in the Crimea were re-supplied with the new pattern uniform in 1855-56.
It is also an error to describe this tunic as in a French double-breasted style. The French tunic was single breasted. The greatcoat that the French wore in the field happened to be double-breasted. British Officers and NCOs, as well as the Foot Guards, as well as Rifle regiments, already wore double-breasted coatees.

thread_title:  "a more practical tunic was introduced in 1855" 

message: "British soldiers fought in scarlet tunics for the last time at the Battle of Gennis in the Sudan on 30 December 1885. They formed part of an expeditionary force sent from Britain to participate in the Nile Campaign of 1884-85, wearing the "home service uniform" of the period including scarlet tunics."
In Egypt in 1882, British forces were sent out to fight in scarlet 'frocks,' the working dress of the day, rather than the more ornate and heavier Full Dress tunics. It was  intended that they take the field in specially commissioned grey field service dress but this did not arrive in time. For service in Sudan and on the Nile in 1884-85, the troops were provided with the grey clothing (referred to as 'hideous khakee'), and subsequently a sand coloured khaki which became the norm. At Ginnis, troops in red were were wearing the scarlet frocks

Talk:Surd Evil

message: Per Haukurth before me, I dispute this terminology.  The article is unsourced, a Google search reveals mostly Wikipedia mirrors, and the article doesn't explain the etymology of term supposedly derived from Greek.  I suspect this is a neologistic truncation of "absurd evil", but I wish to give others more knowledgeable a chance to source this (which has been here for nine months now) before AfDing it. Xoloz 06:07, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "surd evil" article unsourced

message: There are lots of theological examples of "surd evil" on google.  
As for etymology, the Oxford English Dictionary defines "surd" as: "Irrational, senseless, stupid".
The concept isn't invalid.
However, the article reads like a sermon ("One should understand that God allows our suffering, but He never imposes it.") and is definitely not NPOV.

message: I want to add a bit about a priority encoder, but this page needs a bit more explanation that I don't have time to write right now. A priority encoder is an encoder for which some inputs take priority over other inputs. For example, with inputs a, b, c and d, if a is 1, then a priority encoder might disregard the inputs b, c, and d. A priority is assigned to each input so that when two or more inputs are simultaneously active, the input with the highest priority is represented on the output. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fresheneesz (talk • contribs) 06:58, 13 Mar 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I am certain the Bombers history predates the WCHL, as my grandfather played for them in the early 50s. Whether it is continuous or not, I am not certain, and will definitely have to check it out. It is extremely likely that the Bombers predated the WCHL, and simply shifted from the SJHL like most other Saskatchewan teams did. The conflict with the Spokane Flyers exists because I used the WCHL franchise date for the Bombers rather than the team's original franchise date. I'm going to clarify that in the article.

Survivors have called for an investigation to locate unexhumed mass graves on the site but it's not clear that this is seen as excluding progress on the construction of a memorial and the alleged insistence that the whole mine should be made into a memorial site seems questionable as Bosniak returnees to the area want the mine working and providing employment, currently denied them by the discriminatory employment practices of ArcelorMittal's local management (contrary to the provisions of the Dayton Agreement).Opbeith (talk) 08:31, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
