This user helped promote SS Irish Oak (1919) to good article status.

And thanks from me for your work on SS Irish Oak (1919). I am now returning to Irish Mercantile Marine during World War II I would value your opinion of it in conjunction with User:ClemMcGann/timeline - thanks again - ClemMcGann (talk) 02:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I reckon that Irish Mercantile Marine during World War II is ready for assessment. If you have a moment, could you please check it. It was larger so I hived off User:ClemMcGann/timeline ClemMcGann (talk) 18:34, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your advice on the article. As a small token of thanks, do accept free admission to the National Maritime Museum of Ireland valid until the end of 2011. Perhaps you could look at Irish Mercantile Marine during World War II ? ClemMcGann (talk) 17:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually most of the stated facts are false in the quote. - Japan did not have houses made out of rice-paper because they could not afford wood. That's a lie. Paper houses precede any Western version of "decent furniture". Rice paper actually for the environment is really good for where Japan is situated. - No furniture is also a lie. Rice chests, lacquer, and most of the furniture that was made in Japan at that time was actually very high quality. Lacquer was not something that was invented in the West. The tables and sitting on the floor was a tradition because unlike the west Japan had heated floors, which is a few thousand years of technological advancement over the West's system which has consistently been fireplaces which is really a bad way to store and use heat in terms of physics. - No metal for Forks and Spoons is a lie, because Korea was conquered at around the same time and Korea has a tradition of using not lacquer chopsticks, but metal ones. The eating implement does not tell how rich a nation is. In fact, many Emperors of China used silver Chopsticks. Chopsticks also predate the invention of the fork. Spoons were not used at Japanese dinner tables, but still used in basic cooking. So that is also a lie. Besides, it was not "slivers of wood" it was traditionally lacquer in Japan. Often people would carry their own pair. - Japan was not short due to merely because the inability to produce food. It was because 1. Japan is an Island nation so some of the subjecting to dwarfing due to it being an Island is correct. 2. Because somewhere along the line Japan, while subsisting on mainly fish with a few other crops, has traditionally been dependent on rice. When I, believe (though I'm not sure) the Portuguese came to Japan they brought a "hulling" mill that turned the rice into white rice, which removed a lot of the nutrition from the rice, causing a lot of vitamin deficiencies. The change in the current times in the general height of Japan is not because they are "unable to support themselves" with their deficient land (Which really is bad to state), it's because knowledge about overall nutrition improved WORLDWIDE. Japan still, in large part is phobic of importing goods from other places and encourages domestic agriculture just like it did during WWII. - Most of Japan is NOT as cold as Boston. Hokkaido is the closest in that regard, but it's still not as cold. (look at the latitudes).

That leaves the causes for Japan attacking the US. It was not because Japan was "poor and suffering" or that they were short or inferior, it was because Japan had a God complex (to put it mildly) at the time of WWII. (This is severely simplified)

So which part of that statement was accurate and completely correct? None of it. Besides, the guy who played Imoto was not Japanese, but Chinese descent and sadly for most of his life he had to play these stupid roles. I don't begrudge him--African American actors had to go through the same crap--however, I find it sad that one had to play clearly racist roles to appear in a film at all. (BTW, the actor did other films around this time playing "evil" Japanese henchmen too and also had to play under someone who yellow-faced. *shutter*). I think the film is honorable on all other accounts, but these lines and some of the questionable treatment make me raise an eyebrow and go huh? That's not even remotely historically correct, even given for the knowledge that was around back then.

So that's why I was wondering if some critic had commented.--Hitsuji Kinno (talk) 20:03, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please: I wish to list this article for speedy deletion because there is only one mention of a so-called La Familia (football firm) (Guardian) out of the three references given, and of the links one is a dead end and the other is about football in Kenya. (Also I'm inclined to think the whole thing is a bad practical joke from the "rendition" of the name in Hebrew. Thank you, Shir-El too 01:22, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From a search of sources it appears that the subject could be notable, even though the references do appear to be lacking so any kind of speedy deletion nomination would appear to be inappropriate. I've cleaned up some of the refs and the nonsensical rendering of the Hebrew text. Shearonink (talk) 02:56, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Muhteşem Yüzyıl, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Crimean Tartar and Vazir (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I wonder why you labelled this with {{stub}}?

And if you're going to add that template, please remember it goes at the end - see WP:ORDER, after everything except interwiki links. And it's helpful to stub-sorters if you add it with a small "s", as "stub" not "Stub", as it saves a couple of keystrokes when changing it to a specific stub template. Thanks.

Hunt Stromberg wasn't a stub either. PamD 22:02, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
