Talk:The Caine Mutiny

message: Is it really ordinary usage to describe a ship's CO as "at the helm of" the ship?  American rather than British English is obviously appropriate for this article - and, more specifically, USN rather than RN usage - and I speak Brit so my opinion carries no weight.  I might not be wrong, though? - and to me it seems very odd.
And even if within USN usage, the phrase is perhaps best avoided here? - an important plot event concerns the captain blaming a helmsman for a parted towline.  (The same helmsman was also on duty during the crucial command incident during the typhoon, and so was a prospective defendant in the trial(s) pencilled-in to follow the XO's court-martial.)
And - while I'm sharing reactions to details! - it surprises me tht the plot summaries, here or for the movie, don't give more emphasis to that parted-towline incident.  The value of the towed target receives due attention.  But simply steaming a full circle - very obvious, simply from noticing the wake - will have damaged command credibility in the eyes of every rank and role aboard (and exposed the crew as a whole to other ships' ridicule and associated bar brawls etc, once it became known of).  Beyond that, running over a tow-line risks getting it wrapped round the screw (and/or rudder).  In a single-screw ship this risk amounts to 'endangering your vessel', which no Navy views cheerily.  Granted, the Clemsons were twin-screw ships, so it would take a very unlucky day for the ship to be disabled; but a small ship like Caine would not have carried divers etc, so even a single screw, badly fouled, would have put her briefly out of service for a harbour repair.  It's a really serious failure of seamanship.  I don't have the novel available to check .. does it not touch on these aspects?
And finally - I'm seeing interesting parallels and contrasts between the 'not-very-guilty' outcome to Maryk's conduct-to-the-prejudice court-martial, with its impact on his Naval career, and the Inquiry into Adml Halsey's unlucky decision regarding Task Force 38 as Typhoon Cobra approached.  (The month after the typhoon, Halsey passed command of the Third Fleet to Spruance.)  We obviously can't jst chuck our own thoughts into the mix; but have any respected critics made the connection? 2A04:B2C2:405:EB00:2178:8EF:5560:C8DB (talk) 03:31, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

There is a listing of his interpretation of the final section of the runic text as "Three daughters made a good funeral feast as the best loved of the inheritors" in The Norsemen in the Viking Age at page 50, but someone familiar with his text needs to provide Grønvik's interpretation for the article.

thread_title:  Runic letters 

message: Guys, the way that line is written is intentionally misleading in that it cites Antonsen 2002:126-7 for the interpretation of Wiwaz (which it doesn't) and Worduride (which it does). Antonsen specifically doesn't remark on Wiwaz because it's obscure. Moreover, it cannot be derived from the PIE root *h1wegwh- because it has an i/ī in Wiwaz (Runic i < PIE *i, Runic ī < PIE *ei or *iH. There's no *i in the root and thus it can't resolve to Wiwaz. Furthermore, there wouldn't be a loss of occlusion in the labiovelar, so we'd expect a Runic *wegwaz or vel. sim. I will add a citation needed for the Wiwaz interpretation.

Talk:Fulneck Moravian Settlement

message: "There are special concerts during the last weekend in August at Fulneck Church. The 2009 events are on Sunday 30 August at 3.00 - Claire Strafford sings Handel arias with trumpet and organ and also performs the Wedding Cantata of J S Bach and, on Monday 31 August at 1.30, St Peters Singers, Chamber Orchestra and soloists present a complete performance of Messiah by Handel in honour of the 250th anniversary of the death of that great composer in 1759.

Talk:Friendship Highway (China–Nepal)

message: The section of the G318 between Lhasa and Dram (Zhangmu) is commonly known in English as the "Friendship Highway". The title of the page Friendship Highway (Tibet) did reflect the common English name (as well as WP disambiguation policy), until it was repeatedly moved to names not common in English:
* 27/01/2011: moved Friendship Highway (Tibet) to China-Nepal Highway
* 29/12/2011restored original title Friendship Highway (Tibet)
* 25/03/2012 Moved page Friendship Highway (Tibet) to China-Nepal Highway 
* 25/02/2012: moved page China-Nepal Highway to China-Nepal Friendship Highway
* 25/03/2012: moved page China-Nepal Friendship Highway to China-Nepal Highway
The two arguments given for the move to "China-Nepal Highway" were "common name" and "official name". The problem is that "China-Nepal Highway" is neither the common nor the official name in English. The denomination "China-Nepal Highway" is possibly a recent translation (Chinese to English) from Chinese blog/media, but that doesn't make it the official name, which is not not a Wikipedia policy anyway. The section of the G318 (G318 is the official name for the whole road, by the way) between Lhasa and Dram (Zhangmu) is usually known under the simple naming of "Friendship Highway". The title "China-Nepal Highway" is also misleading as the "Friendship Highway" (and the WP article) is not describing a bi-national road extending in both China and Nepal, but a stretch of the road within Chinese territory only, and more precicely the part between Lhasa and Dram within Tibet.
I have tried to restore the original name, but this is technically impossible due to the various name change by editors who did not use the talk page before doing some controversial or potentially controversial moves. In order to avoid a similar mess as it happened at the Shishapangma page, I would like to propose that:
# first an admin could restore the original title "Friendship Highway (Tibet)"
# then any editor wishing to change the title should do it using the present talk page and corresponding "move request" procedure.

Talk:Southern Maalhosmadulu Atoll

message: As it has often been stated, each administrative division of the Maldvies has an official name, usually that of the main geographic/natural atoll within that administrative division. The names of the characters of the Thaana abugida assigned to each administrative division is merely a code, not a replacement of the official name of the administrative division. As such, the name of pages for the administrative regions  of the Maldives in Wikipedia should bear these names, rather than the codes.
However, recognising that the Thaana character codes are now often used, I would like to propose a compromise of the naming convention for the pages incorporating both the official/traditional name and the Thaana character code to become the title names of pages of the administrative divisions of the Maldives.
Here are the proposed new names for administrative division articles, and the components for the template. The names and spelling conventions follow official Madivian government website (eg National Bureau of Statistics) for the atoll names and also the name of letters for the Thaana alphabet which are used as administrative division code names.
From north to south they are:
*North Thiladhunmathi (Haa Alifu) Atoll to replace the Haa Alif Atoll page
*South Thiladhunmathi (Haa Dhaalu) Atoll to replace the Haa Dhaalu Atoll page etc
*North Miladhunmadulu (Shaviyani) Atoll to replace Shaviyani Atoll page
*South Miladhunmadulu (Noonu) Atoll to replace Noonu Atoll page
*North Maalhosmadulu (Raa) Atoll to replace Raa Atoll page
