Talk:Organization of American States

message: and purpose
"To strengthen the peace and security of the continent." 
"To eradicate extreme poverty, which constitutes an obstacle to the full democratic development of the peoples of the continent." 
"The Organization has played a leading part in the removal of landmines deployed in member states and it has led negotiations to resolve the continent's remaining border disputes (Guatemala/Belize; Peru/Ecuador)." 
"The OAS is one of the three agencies currently engaged in drafting a treaty aiming to establish a continental free trade area from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego." 
According to this English Wikipedia, America is not a continent but a supercontinent. Or this article refers bad to the meaning, or all those discssions on "The Americas" article was just bullshit...
:This illustrates the difference between primary speakers on the one hand and secondary speakers and multilingual situations on the other. While the concept of one American continent is not unknown in the English-speaking world, just seen as old-fashioned, the two American continents model is either unknown or hotly resented in Latin America. It was easier for the US and Canada to just let this usage slide than to endanger the enyire undertaking. --Khajidha (talk) 22:38, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

message: The issue of Venezuela is complicated since the constitution doesn't give the interim president power to revert the decision made to exit the OAS. Looking at the law, it's clear that he only has a mandate to set new elections so I don't really see any reason to say Venezuela is still in the OAS.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.94.29.210 (talk) 22:34, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rather nice neutron reflector 

message: There are a few odd statements which stand out. e.g. 
: +4 valence states-- presumably that means +4 oxidation state/number- and where did the +4 come from?! 
: Thulium(II) compounds include thulium halides- which halides? - certainly not F! 
Some very lightweight web references, and no heavyweight chemistry textbooks- e.g. Greenwood, Wiberg, Housecroft, no specialist books - e.g. Cotton , Atwood. 
Unreferenced wide ranging statement  "Thulium reacts with various metallic and non-metallic elements forming a range of binary compounds, including TmN, TmS, TmC2, Tm2C3, TmH2, TmH3, TmSi2, TmGe3, TmB4, TmB6 and TmB12."

message: Article Theodore William Richards cites John Emsley's book that says it was Richards who did this. Emsley p. 443: "In 1911, the American chemist Theodore William Richards performed 15 000 recrystallizations of thulium bromate in order to obtain a pure sample of the element and so determine exactly its atomic weight." The present article says it was Charles James and uses his 1911 paper as (primary) source. What is the correct story? I think this is a mistake in Emsley's work as the Thulium I paper mentions the operation count 15 000. jni (delete)...just not interested 19:21, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom

message: Wikiuser100 has brought to my attention a page at the National Archives that states "Oliver Cromwell ordered that the orb and sceptres should be broken as they stood for the detestable rule of kings'" (link), and the Royal family website, which states: "In 1649 Cromwell ordered that the Royal regalia 'be totally broken' as being symbolic of the 'detestable rule of kings'" (link).
I'm not surprised Royal family would attribute the destruction of the Crown Jewels to their popular hate figure Oliver Cromwell. The page contains other factual errors, such as "During the Second World War the jewels were hidden in a secret location which has never been disclosed". Another white lie: In her 1997 biography Princess Margaret tells the story of how George VI took her and Princess Elizabeth down into the Windsor Castle basement to see the Crown Jewels. In 2018 the wartime hiding place was confirmed by independent research of documents held in the Royal library.
As for the National Archives, that is a worksheet for school children aged 11–14. It also says "two new sceptres and an orb costing £12,185 were made for the coronation of Charles II". Actually, this was the cost of all the regalia. Not what I call a reliable source for an encyclopedia.

thread_title:  picture of charles 1 

message: Thanks for finding a source for Damascus steel. I'm not sure however when they refer to damascus steel, if they are referring to the older "true" Damascus steel made in the near east or simply patterned welded steel. It seems likely that it would be the later as the sword was created in 1820 and in the UK, but I can't find a source clarifying the matter. Do you have any thoughts on this? Safes007 (talk) 05:19, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Rundell, Bridge and Rundell were jewellers and goldsmiths, not swordsmiths, and there is every chance the blade pre-dates 1820 and was imported to the UK. It is also possible the author meant Damascened steel blade, in reference to the bluing and gilt work. Happy to revert myself and park this debate for now until I can obtain more information regarding the sword's history. Firebrace (talk) 14:26, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Firebrace Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for sources too. Safes007 (talk) 01:02, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

text: I would think Damascened is far more likely - London must have been full of under-employed swordsmiths around 1820, & there would have been no difficulty finding good ones, so no need to import anything. The RC entry ("The design of the sword was suggested by George IV himself") strongly suggests they regard it as brand new for the coronation. Johnbod (talk) 15:20, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
