Talk:Ambrosini SS.4

message: "The canard wing concept proved in this case to be more of a burden than a benefit to the reliability and performance of the aircraft". This statement seems to be hardly defensible. The SS4 wasn't the Italian single-engined fighter equipped with the more powerful engine in 1939 (that was the Reggiane Re.2000, one of the "0" fighters), but was altough the fastest, the more heavily armed, the only one that didn't require the sincronization of the guns (and the wing mount of the guns isn't a comparable advantage, since that mount only replace the problems of the sincronization with those of the convergence), and that with the lowest wing-load. A a tricycle undercarriage is hardly a "design complication" (even the P.39 had one) and so the twin tail (common among many aircrafts at the time). Moreover, since the engine is placed exactly at the centre of the wings, it's hard to see how "with the adoption of more powerful engines, like the DB series, the baricenter would shift and cause more serious vibrations". A lot of fighters, like Spitfires, Macchi C.200, Mustangs and many others, were reengineered without problems during the war, although having the engine placed ahead of the wings, a location much more problematic for the baricenter shift. Needless to say, all those new engines required "improved cooling systems" too. 
The canard concept proved to be too unconventional to be accepted by the Regia Aeronautica, but it don't seems that its' unique features made the SS4 harder to assemble, or affected the performances of the aircraft at all.
:I have to concur.  One of the cited sources, Italian Civil and Military Aircraft 1930-45, says regarding the plane that "The canard layout offered many advantages for fighter aircraft, among them improved visibility, concentrated forward-firing armament, and the elimination of slipstream drag effects through the use of a pusher airscrew. Accordingly, Ing. Stefanutti developed the Ambrosini S.S.4 fighter, which flew for the first time in May, 1939. Handling qualities proved more than satisfactory in extensive tests at Guidonia during 1940-41, stability being particularly good. The steerable tricycle landing gear, fully retractable on the S.S.4, was a factor contributing to the excellent take-off and landing qualities."  Unless the other cited source is quite damning, I can't see that this article is accurate.  Further, my copy of that source does not contain quite a bit of the information that is cited here.  I don't want to go rewriting the article, but someone needs to do a solid reference check here.  Xt828 (talk) 10:14, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Víctor Manuelle discography

message: Since our fair use criteria, specifically the examples of unacceptable use state that covers should not be used in lists (and therefore discographies), I took the liberty of reworking the album discography table.  Just removing the images would have made for an odd-looking table, so I flattened it out a bit and cleaned it up a little.  There were some style issues, and I removed the clutter of all the "failed to chart" entries (should be a reasonable thing to assume if nothing else is mentioned).  Once non-trivial articles have been written about the individual albums, it will be perfectly acceptable to use the images in them (given a fair use rationale), but for a discography article they must go.  Since they're all (I think) orphaned now, I will be marking them for deletion, per the rules governing non-free content on Wikipedia. --Pekaje 21:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Resulting trust

message: Two ways in which this article can be cleaned up--
i. Add a space between parentheses and surrounding words.
ii.  The last paragraph of the opening paragraph (which I cannot edit, why?) starts with, "In common law...".  This is wrong.  A trust of any kind is a concept from equity.  Common law is a separate legal system.  Perhaps the sentence can be rephrased as "In common law jurisdictions..." which is where you usually find equity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.45.192.9 (talk) 17:18, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear user 80.45.192.9: Yes, the term "common law" has more than one legal meaning. Both the "law" courts and the "equity" courts were part of the English common law system. In that sense, a trust (which as you correctly point out is a creature of equity) is still part of a "common law" system in the broader sense. I like your suggestion on the wording, so I'll make that change. Famspear (talk) 18:57, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Template talk:Honoré de Balzac

message: Hi Scartol. I have added the "nowraplinks" feature to some of the generic navbox templates. (I will try and get it added to the rest too.) So I took the liberty to edit your template to show some things:
* I changed to Template:Navbox generic since it has built in nowraplinks now.
* I used a div tag around the items in list2. As you see then you can have each item on its own line. Many editors feel that is easier.
* Just as a demonstration I left the nowraplinks tag around the items in list3 but changed to having each item on its own line. See, the nowraplinks tag has the same side effect as the div tag to allow the items to be on separate lines. (It was an unintentional but positive side effect when I designed that template.) So if you decide to use one of the navboxes that do not (yet) have built in nowraplinks then you can use the nowraplinks tag and as a side effect have each item on its own line without using the div tag.
Nice, isn't it?

For my part, I see the words as entirely separate: the hearth is a much older concept with many meanings related to times long past and archaeology. The fireplace is a modern(ish) construction in mass-built houses. The word hearth may have been re-used to refer the the tiled area on the floor around a modern fireplace, where you keep your tongs and poker, but that adds more confusion than elucidation of the relationship between the concepts.
