Talk:Česká zbrojovka Strakonice

message: Česká Zbrojovka Uherský Brod was a different factory than the plant in Strakonice. I believe they were both the same company but the Uhersky Brod facility produced guns. The Strakonice plant is where the CZ motorcycles were manufactured. Gun enthusiasts will associate the Uhersky Brod brand with guns.Orsoni 06:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with Česká Zbrojovka Uherský Brod

message: I propose a split. This page should be about the Česká zbrojovka Strakonice plant. It needs a section on firearms and one on motorcycles and this probably isn't best done on one page. Suggest: Česká zbrojovka Strakonice (firearms), and Česká zbrojovka Strakonice (motorcycles). BBODO (talk) 23:04, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Small Worlds (presentation)

message: Hi.  An upcoming episode of the science-fiction series Torchwood is also titled "Small Worlds".  The article for that episode will be at Small Worlds (Torchwood), but I'm wondering whether this presentation is notable enough to have the Small Worlds location all to itself, or if it should be moved (perhaps to Small Worlds (presentation)?) to make way for a disambiguation page.  All opinions are welcome. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Charles, Duc de Morny

message: I seem to recall that the Duc de Morny was a close friend (patron/lover) of Sarah Bernhardt's mother, Judith aka "Julie," and that the Duc helped get Sarah into the Conservatoire for theatrical training when she was around 14 years old. Does anyone else have a reference for this? It's not really germane to the article, but it's a nice little historical tidbit, and what I always remember about the Duc.

message: Touring motorcycle lists the R1200RT, FJR1300 and ST1300 as standard tourers, yet they are listed here as sports tourers. Which are they? Personally I think all three belong here. --TimTay (talk) 18:44, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The RT, FJR, and ST all have neutral or "standard" riding postures, where other sport-touring motorcycles listed here have more sport oriented riding postures (I own both a RT and a Duc ST). That might put them in the touring motorcycle bracket. On the other hand, they're definitely sport-tourers in terms of performance and riding dynamics. These three bikes span categories by design; there's nothing wrong with a little ambiguity. Mpa1974 (talk) 18:44, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Alfonso V of León

message: Does not the last line of the epitaph—OBIIT ERA M SEXAGESIMA QUINTA III NAS M—say that Alfonso "died in the Era 1065 on the third nones of March"? Both the year (that would be 1027 of our era) and the date (5 March) our out of synch with what Martínez Diez says (and I have that book, so I checked and he definitely says 7 August 1028). Am I misinterpreting the epitaph or is it wrong? Or Martínez Diez wrong? He doesn't cite a primary source, but appears to be relying on Fernández del Pozo (1999). Srnec (talk) 23:08, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Will look further into that since I have one of the works by del Pozo on Alfonso V and Vermudo III, but many of the epitaphs were carved or created years after the event and many often have the dates wrong. --Maragm (talk) 06:59, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Alfred Atheling

message: I was a bit surprised to see this article apparently dissenting from text in another wikipedia article.  This article currently reads: "The account given in the Wikipedia article on Guildford states apparent facts".  I presume that this refers to the current text of the Guildford article: "he was met and entertained in Guildford by the Earl Godwine. Godwine handed him to Harold Harefoot's men, who blinded and mutilated him to the extent that he died not long after."  Could we perhaps have some discussion of the issues / evidence / various interpretations here and work towards some sort of consensus, and then bring the two articles into line.  
Is it - for example - agreed or disputed that Alfred Atheling died in Guildford? Stumps 19:43, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Alexander Polyhistor

message: So far as I can judge from the contents of the article on Alexander of Miletus, he is Alexander Polyhistor under a different name. Alexander of Miletus is effectively an orphan article so, subject to checking, it seems to make sense to merge it here. PWilkinson (talk) 20:10, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Your assessment matches mine from my limited experience installing a new article on the Hellenic Jewish epic poet Philo.  My source, 1911 Britannica, mentions him being extracted by Alexander Polyhistor, but I find no mention of Philo in this article.  But I do find a mention of him in the article on Alexander of Miletus.  Perhaps Milesian means "of Miletus"? So I would support the merger.  It would be good to hear from someone else, or a solid citation identifying the two monikers. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 00:55, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

text: I find that "Milesian" does mean "of Miletus" (according to my first edition of the American Heritage dictionary), but it also means "pertaining to Ireland".  Ireland sounds out of the ballpark in this context, but I would still look to hear from someone else on the matter and/or get a citation. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 01:12, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good catch: these are certainly one and the same. (And Bob's right that Milesian means "of Miletus" with regard to Alexander. I had never heard of Milesians (Irish).  What a fantastic coincidence.)  davidiad.: 01:49, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Circulation (journal)

message: There are 8,000 journals in Web of Knowledge, and about 100,000 in Ulrich's Periodical Directory. Do we want a article about every one of them, especially when it says no more than this one?
(BTW, impact factors have little meaning without knowing the IFs of other journals in the same subject. 2.0 is great in zoology, and lousy in biochemistry.) (The IF for this particular journal is very good indeed).
This article doesn't hurt, deleting it wont make it better either.

Category talk:Books about cults

message: *Wikipedia should, in my opinion, contain more articles about books that would fit into this category.  And specifically, I am referring to books from both the anti-cult movement and cult apologist camps, as well as books on specific cults and historical books on cult leaders.  In this manner, when these books are used as secondary references within other Wikipedia articles on the subject, the reader will not have to go leave Wikipedia to get more information on that particular reference.

message: Trying for another NPOV change, I've revised away from the "have been called" verbage. Passive voice avoided. Focuses on the book topics, not alleged cults themselves. – S. Rich (talk) 22:35, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I endorse your change.  The previous version opened up the category to abuse, as we saw here recently. Roccodrift (talk) 22:40, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

text: Please note the parameter, as written, avoids the term "group". Perhaps we can add a proviso that says something like "The category does not include books about specific groups, whether or not they are described as cults." – S. Rich (talk) 23:41, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

text: To clarify, I think we need to limit the category to books that discuss cults as social/religious/political entities in an overall sense. Not books about particular cults. The danger of an inclusive categorization is opening up the tent for every book that mentions cults to put their nose in. Rather than the two of us discussing, perhaps other editors in the WikiProjects WP:RELIGION,  WP:CATP, & WT:BOOK could join in. At the moment I'm happy with the version of the proviso (because I wrote it of course), but I'll post notices and request more input if you like. Thanks.  – S. Rich (talk) 04:40, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

All I can think of is asking any of the few sites with a picture of him for permission to use it here, or mailing TradeMe about it. There is also a small image of Morgan in a Campbell Live interview  which may pass for a different fair use license and also be useful for the Campbell Live article itself, though it's not ideal for use on the biography or TradeMe pages, and its a little contrived.

Talk:The City in History

message: "Mumford notes in his preface that, due to the limitations of his personal experience and study, he is unable to explore regions he has less familiarity with, such as Spain and Latin America, Palestine (sic)...."
Why does a (sic) follow Palestine?  Perhaps this might be POV?  I think that the sentence should be framed differently.
It should also be pointed out that Mumford, in this book, claims that the free market system and the greed of capitalists is what is destroying civilizaion. His main premis is that of Rousseau:  that bourgois thinking associated with cities is the root of all evil.  Rousseau was the first to prescribe the abolition of the city.
Mumford believes large cities should be converted to large aggregates of small towns.
Marx, Mao Tse-tung and Pol Pot were all in agreement with Mumford.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.130.144.207 (talk) 20:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

message: This note is prompted by the recent removal of Neville Chamberlain (NC) from this page.
In fact, there is a strong case for making NC the WP:PRIMARY TOPIC of this disambiguation. See the link for details. See also the page views for NC: https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-60&pages=Neville_Chamberlain which shows an average number of hits over the last 60 days of 4,400+. His son Austen, the Nobel Prize winner, gets 172. I've tried some of the more likely candidates from the surname article, but haven't been able to find anyone who comes close to NC.
Most probably, anyone entering "Chamberlain" in the wiki search box will expect to go to NC's page. 
No-one who has listened to that famous BBC recording will forget NC's fateful Declaration of War, the formal start of World War II, an event that traumatised the whole of my parents' generation.
I have therefore restored NC to this page. If editors think he shouldn't be here, then the whole disambiguation will instead have to be rearranged to make him the primary topic.
