[edit] crossbow

Hi, could you name some sources for your edits in the crossbow article otherwise the information is not valid and can be deleted. Thank you. Wandalstouring 09:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

The Ballista is a form of catapult that shoots stone weights or balls. It does not shoot bolts. The "Roman ballista" or scorpion, is the variant that shoots bolts. Also, a catapult is not the same as a crossbow. Catapults/Ballistas use torsion in the animal sinews/ropes for energy, whereas a crossbow uses the tension in the arch of the frame for energy. Intranetusa (talk) 03:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to tell you, but literature has it that the scorpion is a ballista. You seem not familiar with wikipedia editing. Please answer at the bottom and not on the top of a talk page. Wandalstouring (talk) 14:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


That's what I said. I said "the scorpion is a variant of the ballista." The scorpion shoots bolts while the ballista shoots stones. A scorpion is a ballista, but a ballista is not always a scorpion. Intranetusa (talk) 09:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Ballistae also shoot bolts(even large ones), sorry but saying they only shoot stones is wrong. Scorpio is just the smallest variant of a ballista and we can not be certain whether it didn't also shoot stones. Wandalstouring (talk) 10:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Translation of Li Bai's "Drinking Alone ..."

Hi. Thanks for your work on the Li Bai article. Both the first translation of "Drinking Alone," and also the one that you've added, need to have their sources indicated. I was just getting around to deleting the present translation in favor of one with a known translator and source. So I hope you will fill in your source, and then just delete the previous one. I'd left a note about this several months ago on the talk page, so I think it's fair to delete it.Easchiff 04:15, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Treasure Ships

Hi, the info comes from Ray Huang's Macrohistory of China. On checking it up, it wasn't a mast, but the rudder. In the Chinese version, the sentences are on pp 185-186. He also mentions that the largest boats were 440 feet long and 186 feet wide, and the smaller ones were 370 feet long and 150 feet wide. He mentions that these giant ships are found in books but not in physical specimens.

IMO, Ray Huang is sufficiently established as an authority on Ming-dynasty China for referencing. But if you are planning to reference this, the (original) English version might be more suitable. Citation: China: A Macro History. Armonk, New York: M.E. Sharpe, 1988. 277 pp. ISBN 0-87332-452-8. --Sumple (Talk) 02:59, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Puddling (metallurgy)

While what you added about Chinese puddling may well be correct, the point at which you inserted a paragraph about it was inappropriate, coming as it did in the middle of something relating to a process of the English Industrial Revolution. Furthermore in an article where references are cited, you should be citing yours. All you need to do is edit the references section, following the style used. You are then entiteledd to remove Template:fact (talk, links, edit) from after what you wrote. If you cannot verify your statement, then it will have to be deleted. It would also be helpful to every one else if you could write a few words about who you are on your user page. Peterkingiron 17:38, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

What you put referred to an ancient Chinese process of puddling. What you wrote now appears as a spearate section near the end of the article. Peterkingiron 19:20, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
What you have still not done is to say what your source is. Could you please add that to the article? Peterkingiron 08:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, added. 09:22, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleopatra

Claim what you like but to say that Cleopatra wasn't African is to have a poor level of geography, SqueakBox 19:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Cleopatra was African because Egypt was in Africa.. She just wasn't black like most Afrocentrists claim. Most Egyptians are non-black and related to Semetics. Cleopatra was a Caucasian Ptolmeic Greek. Intranetusa 19:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Return

Howdy dude

Thought id drop you a message seen as though you left me one so here goes, When i say fuck capitalism what i mean is i dislike of the extremes of capitalism without measures and checks this ideology can seperate a society creating extreme wealth and extreme povery just study any industrial revolution across the world, explotation you know. All them boxes were put on a long time ago and not all by me all my friends seem to use this account too!

I know the history of Tibet im bloody fed up with it i had to write a 4500 word project on its history, changes in social and economic policy 1850-1960. Again Globalization i cant even remember if it was me who put that on but ill try and explain it anyway, My personal stance is similar to Capitalism its acceptable so long as its controled and no nation is aloud to gain to much power. Unfortunatly this isnt the case how does a small coffee bean grower in west Africa stand up to an economic gaint like the U.S? Surly the explotation of workers in a Chinese sweat shop isnt a good thing and must show a negetive of globalization all so a chav(dont know if you know what one is) can have his Nike shoes at super low prices with Nike taking in huge profits.

Nuclear war is somthing im strongly against. I appreciate your point of view in support of Nukes but please look at these pictures

Hiroshima, in the aftermath of the bombing
Hiroshima, in the aftermath of the bombing
Nagasaki before and after bombing
Nagasaki before and after bombing

Imagine if your house your family or friend houses were in one of these If this is what could be done nearly 70 years ago just think what they could do now.... When i downloaded EB my PC died with trojan horse however it probley wasnt the Mod that killed it as i downloaded someother files later that day???

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Elite_Phalanx_Pic_wiki.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Elite_Phalanx_Pic_wiki.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Seraphim Whipp 15:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Ok nice points on the nucks and the convential bombs, lets just say that however just a war is it still sucks for those involved? whatever the weapons are. Well that my view anyway. Take this for an example say all of a sudden Canada turns evil lol what would you rather they had 1000 conventional bombs or 1000 nuclear weapons, nucks can surly cause more damage when used on a mass scale.

Glad you can see my point about the monopoly of Capitalism i respect your opinion but i'm not moving from mine lol.

I find the little quotes slating socalism quite funny (dispite not agreeing with them) check this one out, In Capitalism the rich get richer and the the poor get poorer, in Socalism the rich get poorer and the poor get poorer lol :D

Dude i'm sticking with pirates and i'm not shifting lol King Alaric (talk) 10:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] !

Yeah war sucks (most of the time) 'War indicates the failure of democracy'

I guess Nuclear fuel works better in a power plant than in a bomb but renewable that the way to go.

Yeah man you never know Canada might turn evil their a bit shifty you know lol I was watching the south park movie at the time so......

lol love the quote and i guess im off to hell then it sounds like one hell of a party live rock music every night from Jimi Hendrix's house band, All the beer you could possibly want, Gambling with the devil, Cuban cigars hand rolled by Che Guevara and Socalism apparently cool im there lol.

Ninja pirates hmmmmm maybe King Alaric (talk) 10:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


Nuclear power being renewable maybe but it seems awful complecated when theres waves and winds that'll last for ever.

South Park lol I was watching the south park movie where the USA and Canada go to war its great lol.

yeah i guess but at least you wont get cold, and im sure if your smoking cigars or drinking beer then Satan will turn the heat down for a bit

Im going to try and find some pirate ninjas right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by King Alaric (talk • contribs) 17:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
