[edit] Thera eruption

You've added a nice section. As you said though, it needed some editing. For stuff that needs editing, it's usually better to put it in the Discussion page or in a sandbox. Daphne A 07:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)


Have you seen

Bietak M. (2004), "Review—'A Test Of Time' by S.W. Manning (Oxbow, 1999)", Bibliotheca Orientalis 61: 199-222.

This shows that most of the archaeology in Manning's book is wrong. Perhaps it should be included in the list of References for Thera eruption?   Daphne A 08:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Places visited

Hey, you stole my "Places visited" box! I'm just kidding, I'm glad you liked the format, layout, and color. Perhaps I should distinguish between countries and territories in my own box. Also, the US States and Territories box is a good idea. I just might borrow that. —MementoVivere (talk · contribs) 08:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:ROC PRC comparison eng.jpg

Thank you for your hard work on this map! =)

Couple of things:

1. Hainan is a province. "SEZ" is a designation of its economic rights. 2. Xinjiang was a province, not an area during the ROC.

[edit] Image:ROC Administrative and Claims.jpg

Wow, great map! One of the more detailed I've seen. Though I admit I got a pretty good laugh at seeing the huge number of claims in contrast to the size of the "free area". --Yuje 01:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

你好！ 這張地圖（英文版的與中文版的）就是你自己做的麽？ 若是降的話，我要和你說一些事情：我要在我的論文用這張地圖，所以要指出版權。求你的幫助。kollbass

[edit] Largest ship

Hello-- good work on the succession boxes. It seems however that Queen Mary however was never the largest; she would have been but Normandie was enlarged before QM entered service,Talk:RMS_Queen_Mary#QM_vs._Normandie. Kablammo 01:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template talk:Infobox Commercial Ship

As you may know, there are a variety of infobox templates used for ocean liners; at least one of which is ill-suited to passenger vessels. As a consequence of a discussion with User:Ebyabe at User_talk:Ebyabe#RMS_Queen_Mary, Ebyabe has generously agreed to create a template for passenger vessels. It appears at Template:Infobox Commercial Ship. Its creator needs assistance with the fields for the template. For example, it will need a tonnage field, but would not need a displacement field. Should beam be moulded breadth, or extreme beam? Should length be pp, or oa? Given your interest in this area, would you be willing to particpate in the project? If so, go to Template talk:Infobox Commercial Ship and weigh in. It may be that different templates are needed for passenger ships (gt), freighters (dwt, net), containerships (TEU) and that one size will not fit all. Would you be interested in participating in this project? We need more input. Thank you. Kablammo 01:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note-- I look forward to working with you. Kablammo 04:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RMS Lusitania

Hello again. The launch date of this vessel seems to be in some dispute; I have started a section on the talk page to discuss. It seemed to me that the June 7 date is correct and I changed the page accordingly (with citations). There is an IP contributor who disagrees, so I invited that contributor to participate. In going back through the edit history I see that an established and knowledgable user -- you-- have also edited on this question. Participate if you wish; it should be a question with an easy answer. Regards, Kablammo 04:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


Hi, I hope Im in the right section and am not too familiar with everyone's names. But the launch date of Lusitania has been in some debate since last years calendar reach of '666'. I researched the date(though Ive been familiar with it for many years) as I wanted to be sure before making the change to Wiki. (Im more than willing to stand corrected if Im in error.) Three sources I used 1. LostLiners.com - a site devoted to passenger liners already linked in the 'External Links' section, 2. a 1994 issue of maritime journal Atlantic Liners with an actual page of the book online rather than a website quote of that page 3. the 1964 CBS documentary World War One in which the Lusitania launch date was mentioned. All three sources have no agenda of promoting the '666' coincidence & deal with the subject of the ship itself. The mixup may be in the fact that in Clydebank on June 6 the news didn't travel to American papers until the next day withstanding the 6 hour time difference. The reports of the launch in some places would have been the next day June 7. Lastly some mixup the launch date with the ship's maiden voyage date Septemeber 7 1907. It's an easy mistake. This is a mistake that should never have occurred online as old maritime sources are available at libraries etc. I hope we can put this matter of the launch date to rest.

Hi again, Kablammo & Pryaltonian, I'll try to find that Atlantic Liners page again with June 6 as I think that journal was 'cricket' to the best of my knowledge so to speak and the best bonafide source. I'll link the page for you all if I find it. Thanks.

[edit] Do you take requests?

I was wondering if you could edit a map of the world like the kind seen here [1] to show the ROC's constitutional borders? SpencerCS (talk) 03:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
