Hi - I believe that it derived from Mechanical Engineering so Historically it arose from bicycle mechanics - see Specialized subdisciplines of Mechanical Engineering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HAL3000 ( talk • contribs) 21:40, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply - to quote MIT's website: http://web.mit.edu/aeroastro/about/history.html The aeronautics study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology began six years prior to the Wright brothers' 1903 pioneering flight. In 1896, mechanical engineering student Albert J. Wells built a 30-square-inch wind tunnel as part of his thesis.
You could say that DiVinci is the father of aerospace engineering and that it stemmed from biology or that Daedalus is the father and that it stemmed from prison escape...
If you go to the link in reference 14 U of E, they only mention the others and not aerospace so that's contradictory.
At the Imperial College of London - if you look at their department it states: Aeronautics was first taught at Imperial College in 1909, with the first chair established in 1919. We are now recognised as a leading department internationally, with over 300 undergraduates on our four-year MEng degree, approximately 40 postgraduate students on our two MSc courses and over 70 research students and research associates.
It looks like they only give a Meng degree.
Also Mechanical Engineering is concerned with anything that moves. Civil with statics. Chemical(a branch of Mechanical). If you asked me there would be two - Civil(Mechanical a branch of Civil), and Electrical

Hi Dr.K. I just copied the article Korkyra (which you started) to el:Κόρκυρα (with the necessary link to all previous editors and I have just moved its editing history too). I think that it would be a good idea to have in Βικιπαίδεια the articles you started here. My time is limited, this is why I chose a really small article of yours to demonstrate this in practice and not just canvass you. I understand that your time is also limited, but nevertheless, I thought, why not, one more sort-of-canvassing note. He can survive that one too :) .-- FocalPoint ( talk) 09:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi there Tasoskessaris. Don't get me wrong, I thought your article was very well written and quite interesting. I just couldn't find where you'd got the following summary from:
Its main characteristic is that the hero appears flawed and the motives and purpose of the other characters are not as defined or clear-cut as in other westerns such as the Good the Bad and the Ugly and even earlier American ones that preceded it. The suspects' crime is not as heinous as in other westerns and their credentials as villains not as certain. Even the town's strongman Vincent Bronson, played by Lee J. Cobb, is portrayed as an eager negotiator trying to avoid bloodshed at every turn. Despite all these factors the marshal and the guilty men come to a series of deadly confrontations that claim many lives. The lawman is portrayed, as the plot progresses, as having increasing doubts about his mission and being disillusioned about his job.
I just couldn't find much in the sources to support this description. So while I think it's probably passable as an article, I'm inclined to think that articles nominated for DYK probably need to stick a little closer to their sources. If you can point me to a source that makes the above points however, I'd be happy to reconsider. Gatoclass ( talk) 16:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

"The Prisoner also inspired the naming of the band thenewno2, featuring George Harrison's son, Dhani Harrison." I followed the links. Nowhere did I see authority for this proposition, therefore, as an uncited allegation, it remains deleted until it can be supported by evidence, and as an editor wishing to include it, the onus remains on you to provide authority.

I was looking for some examples and I inadvertently stumbled on the notion that calling Greek the oldest living language might be misleading for that even though it has been "alive" for so long modern Greek is incompatible with its Ancient iterations. Although I suppose that its a continuous relationship; maybe that isn't something to worry over. However if you choose to go by that logic you would be ignoring the similar journey underwent by Chinese. Oracle bone inscriptions acknowledged by a section of this very site ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Written_Chinese) date Chinese back to at least the 14th century, there is no dispute of that within the historical community, that I'm aware of.

Dr Kessaris I just dropped by to thank you for your kind words, all the more welcome for coming from a fellow engineer and IEEE member. Take care sir.
Hoary, the surprising similarities between the Greek spoken today and that of two thousand years ago, the Koine (an evolution of Attic) is due to the fact that the Koine was the language of the Gospels and hence accesible to all Greeks every week at Church. This has resulted in a modern speaker being able to understand fairly well, though not reproduce, utterances in a two thousand year old language. Additionaly the diglossia, use of a formal language (Attic) for official and scholarly written works until the 18th century has also led to smaller linguistic drift than the time intervals involved would suggest. Hope that helps. Xenovatis ( talk) 17:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. You had given me the impression though that the Columbia Encyclopedia ref had been discussed as well and for some reason it had been agreed to leave it out, which is why you undid me. According to the relevant article, the CE is "highly regarded", so I figured it would be the easiest way to represent the current ("un-Fallmerayic") academic view on the issue without getting into the complexity of genetics.

Let me just get this clarified, once and for all, categorically: User:Mavronjoti was not sockpuppeting. If you still think he was, you need to take a quiet half hour off and study WP:SOCK and the nature of dynamic IP assignment, of which you seem to have a somewhat shaky understanding. I very strongly recommend you drop this point, because it crosses the line into harassment.
I'm all for having a critical review of whatever strange claims it is this user is proposing, and if necessary giving him a clear message how seriously we take WP:V, but let's keep it clean, WP:AGF, matter-of-fact, and focussed on the content not on the contributor.

Hey where is Arben Llalla’s, page because I can not find it? The only things that he writes on Albanian message boards, are for Kosovo or Macedonia, din’t see any Albanians-Greek ethnic issues.The Greek historian Panagiotis Aravantinos, Greek Encyclopedia, Vol V, page 402, and Trifon Evangelidi on his book “The history of Joanis Kapodistrias”, also the Greek newspapers “NEA EFHMERIDHA” of 10 and 12 May 1887 are and should be reliable sources though.

Αν και έχει περάσει αρκετός καιρός, από την τελευταία φορά που σ' ενόχλησα, οφείλω να σε ευχαριστήσω έστω και καθυστερημένα για τα καλά σου λόγια και την εγκάρδια διάθεση. Η απορία μου αυτή τη φορά είναι η εξής: Υπάρχει κάποια προτίμηση σε πηγές που είναι διαθέσιμες στο διαδίκτυο ή μπορώ να παραθέτω τα βιβλιογραφικά στοιχεία (συγγραφέα, τίτλο, σελίδα κοκ) σύμφωνα με την έντυπη τους μορφή; Είμαι συνδρομητής σε διάφορα επιστημονικά περιοδικά μέσω του JSTOR, στα οποία όμως η πρόσβαση επιτρέπεται αποκλειστικά στους συνδρομητές. Σε αυτή την περίπτωση, τι είναι προτιμότερο; Να επισυνάπτω στην τεκμηρίωση την ηλεκτρονική διεύθυνση στην οποία δεν θα έχουν όλοι πρόσβαση ή να παραθέτω την βιβλιογραφική παραπομπή χωρίς τη σχετική σύνδεση; Παρεμπιπτόντως, οφείλω να ομολογήσω ότι εκτιμώ ιδιαίτερα όσους υπογράφουν με το όνομά τους. Αν και δεν είμαι σίγουρος αν αυτός είναι ο κατάλληλος χώρος, θα ήθελα να μάθω αν έχει συζητηθεί η σκοπιμότητα της ανωνυμίας στην Wikipedia.

Hello,
I noticed that in the previous Rolex version there was a conflict between the text's 1908 and the infobox' 1905. I then only checked the article's history in general and some interlanguage links, so therefore I assumed 1905 was correct. Thank you for your two contributions [1] [2] . I've now checked google as you proposed, it's indeed as you wrote in your "everybody-should-be-happy"-version, "Wilsdorf and Davis" was founded in 1905 and the trademark Rolex 1908 registered.
What do you think, is the text in the infobox "Founded 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis" OK, or should it be changed to 1908? I simply leave this difficult decision up to you...

Transmission of Greek philosophical ideas in the Middle Ages was written by someone with a head full of prejudice and misconceptions claiming we had lost our philosphy and it only survived thanks to the Arabs!! He has been adding material from this pile of tripe to Greek philosophy as well, which apparently seems to have stopped in the Hellenistic era!

I don't know whether this is the appropriate place to post my message, but I have to say that Tassos was clearly acting in good faith. The name Ιάσπερος is unattested to my knowledge. I looked it up in all major reference works available to me and came up with nothing whatsoever (Liddel Scott Dictionary, TLG Musaios, Project Muse, JSTOR, Oxford Reference, and three different Greek Dictionaries!). The anonymous editor reverted repeatedly without even providing edit summaries [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] and refused to engage in any constructive exchange of arguments in the talk page. On top of all that he obviously returned, with a different IP this time, to repeat the same unsubstantiated edit [9].

Just for the record, since this whole Jasper folly got you blocked I hope it would be some consolation to learn a bit more about what's in a name. Jasper was the name of one of the 3 magi and it is actually Persian as you probably know already. It is not attested in the Holy Scriptures, and, strangely, it is not even mentioned in the so called apocrypha. The name, along with the names of the other two legendary magi, appeared for the first time in medieval latin texts (although I didn't manage to find the exact source) The Greek equivalents are Γάσπαρ and Κάσπαρ. The oldest written attestation of the Greek name comes from Excerpta Lugdunensia, ed. E. Oder and K. Hoppe, Corpus hippiatricorum Graecorum, vol. 2. Leipzig: Teubner, 1927 (repr. Stuttgart: 1971): 272-313.(Cod: 11,612: Med.) and dates from the 9th century AD (rather late actually). The Hippiatrica is a collection of medieval veterinary healing methods and spells (mainly for horses LOL). Interestingly enough the spell containing the name of Κάσπαρ is actually a greek transliteration of a latin text. The poor 9th century byzantines couldn't understand a word of latin. The language must have sounded quite mysterious and exotic to their ears. Here's the full text of the spell (the spell itself is almost nonsensical but has many distinctly latin words and phrases. Of course, you will readily recognise the greek instructions at the bottom of the magic text):
Καδούκαμ αβελφάμοθλ, φάμουλ, δεήνόμεν. Κάσπαρ, Μελχιώρ, Βαλτοσαράγ, ο θεός ισχυρός άγιος αθάνατος ωσσάνα, σουσάννα Αγαθή, Λατζία Κοσμέν εθ Δαμιανός, Λίνα Κλέτοθς εθ Τζιπριάνους ντόμινε ντζιέσζουμ κρίστε φίλιους δέκει άλτισιμ τουμ λίμπερα δε ιστομορβομ περ μέρτι μπεάτα εθ πάυουλι εθ σάντου Δονάτι άλφα εδώμ αμέν, ή Οφείλεις δε ποιείν εις αυτήν την διάταξιν λειτουργία απάνου εις τον πάσχοντα και να τον ρίπτει εις τα άγια και εις την εξυστερινήν λειτουργίαν να το γράψει εις χαρτίν βέβρανον και να το δένι εις τον αυχένα του πάσχοντος ίππου

Hi Dr.K. Thank you for your questions about Pancanada in the Indo-Greeks_100bc.jpg map. Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you. I have had very little luck looking for more information; it seems Pancanada is very poorly documented - there's not even a Wikipedia article about it. The only sources I have that show Pancanada are Joseph Schwartzberg's Historical Atlas of South Asia, and John Nelson's WorldHistoryMaps.com atlas (says Pancanada lasted from 130-100 BC, then was conquered by Taxila, possibly N. Sakas).
Thus, I am not sure whether Pancanada is ruled by an Indo-Greek, Indo-Scythian, or native dynasty. I'll keep looking for more info, but I would appreciate any info you may have. Respectfully, Thomas Lessman ( talk) 11:31, 3 August 2008 (UT

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Trial and incarceration of the junta at Korydallos, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

You should nominate the article now under the date of creation, 15 August. If you wait until the AFD is closed it may no longer be eligible, because articles have to be nominated within five days of creation. Provided the article is approved, consideration will be given to the fact that it is undergoing an AFD and it won't subsequently be deleted for being a few days late, but you have to nominate before the five day period has expired.

Hello Tassos! First off, congratulations on writing this important article! I've began making some copyedits, trying to improve the flow of the language a bit and add some info for readers who are not familiar with the context. I also saw that you have included sources in Greek, and have had them autotranslated. Wouldn't it be better if we translated them directly to English ourselves?

Thanks for the reply - to quote MIT's website: http://web.mit.edu/aeroastro/about/history.html The aeronautics study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology began six years prior to the Wright brothers' 1903 pioneering flight. In 1896, mechanical engineering student Albert J. Wells built a 30-square-inch wind tunnel as part of his thesis.
You could say that DiVinci is the father of aerospace engineering and that it stemmed from biology or that Daedalus is the father and that it stemmed from prison escape...
If you go to the link in reference 14 U of E, they only mention the others and not aerospace so that's contradictory.
At the Imperial College of London - if you look at their department it states: Aeronautics was first taught at Imperial College in 1909, with the first chair established in 1919. We are now recognised as a leading department internationally, with over 300 undergraduates on our four-year MEng degree, approximately 40 postgraduate students on our two MSc courses and over 70 research students and research associates.
It looks like they only give a Meng degree.
Also Mechanical Engineering is concerned with anything that moves. Civil with statics. Chemical(a branch of Mechanical). If you asked me there would be two - Civil(Mechanical a branch of Civil), and Electrical

Hi there Tasoskessaris. Don't get me wrong, I thought your article was very well written and quite interesting. I just couldn't find where you'd got the following summary from:
Its main characteristic is that the hero appears flawed and the motives and purpose of the other characters are not as defined or clear-cut as in other westerns such as the Good the Bad and the Ugly and even earlier American ones that preceded it. The suspects' crime is not as heinous as in other westerns and their credentials as villains not as certain. Even the town's strongman Vincent Bronson, played by Lee J. Cobb, is portrayed as an eager negotiator trying to avoid bloodshed at every turn. Despite all these factors the marshal and the guilty men come to a series of deadly confrontations that claim many lives. The lawman is portrayed, as the plot progresses, as having increasing doubts about his mission and being disillusioned about his job.
I just couldn't find much in the sources to support this description. So while I think it's probably passable as an article, I'm inclined to think that articles nominated for DYK probably need to stick a little closer to their sources. If you can point me to a source that makes the above points however, I'd be happy to reconsider. Gatoclass ( talk) 16:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I was looking for some examples and I inadvertently stumbled on the notion that calling Greek the oldest living language might be misleading for that even though it has been "alive" for so long modern Greek is incompatible with its Ancient iterations. Although I suppose that its a continuous relationship; maybe that isn't something to worry over. However if you choose to go by that logic you would be ignoring the similar journey underwent by Chinese. Oracle bone inscriptions acknowledged by a section of this very site ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Written_Chinese) date Chinese back to at least the 14th century, there is no dispute of that within the historical community, that I'm aware of.

Dr Kessaris I just dropped by to thank you for your kind words, all the more welcome for coming from a fellow engineer and IEEE member. Take care sir.
Hoary, the surprising similarities between the Greek spoken today and that of two thousand years ago, the Koine (an evolution of Attic) is due to the fact that the Koine was the language of the Gospels and hence accesible to all Greeks every week at Church. This has resulted in a modern speaker being able to understand fairly well, though not reproduce, utterances in a two thousand year old language. Additionaly the diglossia, use of a formal language (Attic) for official and scholarly written works until the 18th century has also led to smaller linguistic drift than the time intervals involved would suggest. Hope that helps. Xenovatis ( talk) 17:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you have a request in at peer review which has not yet received any response besides the semi-automated script. Have you tried requesting a peer review from the volunteers list? Another idea is to review someone else's request (particularly one from the list of requests without responses), then ask that they look at your request. Hope these are helpful suggestions and help to get some feedback for your request soon, APR t 20:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Αν και έχει περάσει αρκετός καιρός, από την τελευταία φορά που σ' ενόχλησα, οφείλω να σε ευχαριστήσω έστω και καθυστερημένα για τα καλά σου λόγια και την εγκάρδια διάθεση. Η απορία μου αυτή τη φορά είναι η εξής: Υπάρχει κάποια προτίμηση σε πηγές που είναι διαθέσιμες στο διαδίκτυο ή μπορώ να παραθέτω τα βιβλιογραφικά στοιχεία (συγγραφέα, τίτλο, σελίδα κοκ) σύμφωνα με την έντυπη τους μορφή; Είμαι συνδρομητής σε διάφορα επιστημονικά περιοδικά μέσω του JSTOR, στα οποία όμως η πρόσβαση επιτρέπεται αποκλειστικά στους συνδρομητές. Σε αυτή την περίπτωση, τι είναι προτιμότερο; Να επισυνάπτω στην τεκμηρίωση την ηλεκτρονική διεύθυνση στην οποία δεν θα έχουν όλοι πρόσβαση ή να παραθέτω την βιβλιογραφική παραπομπή χωρίς τη σχετική σύνδεση; Παρεμπιπτόντως, οφείλω να ομολογήσω ότι εκτιμώ ιδιαίτερα όσους υπογράφουν με το όνομά τους. Αν και δεν είμαι σίγουρος αν αυτός είναι ο κατάλληλος χώρος, θα ήθελα να μάθω αν έχει συζητηθεί η σκοπιμότητα της ανωνυμίας στην Wikipedia. Μου φαίνεται περίεργο στο πλαίσιο ενός προγράμματος που επιδιώκει τη διάδοση της γνώσης. Τι είναι πιο ευγενικό από αυτό και γιατί να κρυβόμαστε;-- Giorgos Tzimas ( talk) 16:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
I noticed that in the previous Rolex version there was a conflict between the text's 1908 and the infobox' 1905. I then only checked the article's history in general and some interlanguage links, so therefore I assumed 1905 was correct. Thank you for your two contributions [1] [2] . I've now checked google as you proposed, it's indeed as you wrote in your "everybody-should-be-happy"-version, "Wilsdorf and Davis" was founded in 1905 and the trademark Rolex 1908 registered.
What do you think, is the text in the infobox "Founded 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis" OK, or should it be changed to 1908? I simply leave this difficult decision up to you...

Transmission of Greek philosophical ideas in the Middle Ages was written by someone with a head full of prejudice and misconceptions claiming we had lost our philosphy and it only survived thanks to the Arabs!! He has been adding material from this pile of tripe to Greek philosophy as well, which apparently seems to have stopped in the Hellenistic era! Since you are interested in things Medieval I thought I would ask you for any sources you may have come across, esp papers etc. I am aware of a couple of books on Google book with limited preview and Halsal's site but was wondering if you had anything else I could use.

{{

I guess I was wrong. My long-standing record of fighting vandalism attests to my distaste for bad info. At least I erred on the side of keeping the

I don't know whether this is the appropriate place to post my message, but I have to say that Tassos was clearly acting in good faith. The name Ιάσπερος is unattested to my knowledge. I looked it up in all major reference works available to me and came up with nothing whatsoever (Liddel Scott Dictionary, TLG Musaios, Project Muse, JSTOR, Oxford Reference, and three different Greek Dictionaries!). The anonymous editor reverted repeatedly without even providing edit summaries [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] and refused to engage in any constructive exchange of arguments in the talk page. On top of all that he obviously returned, with a different IP this time, to repeat the same unsubstantiated edit [9].

Just for the record, since this whole Jasper folly got you blocked I hope it would be some consolation to learn a bit more about what's in a name. Jasper was the name of one of the 3 magi and it is actually Persian as you probably know already. It is not attested in the Holy Scriptures, and, strangely, it is not even mentioned in the so called apocrypha. The name, along with the names of the other two legendary magi, appeared for the first time in medieval latin texts (although I didn't manage to find the exact source) The Greek equivalents are Γάσπαρ and Κάσπαρ. The oldest written attestation of the Greek name comes from Excerpta Lugdunensia, ed. E. Oder and K. Hoppe, Corpus hippiatricorum Graecorum, vol. 2. Leipzig: Teubner, 1927 (repr. Stuttgart: 1971): 272-313.(Cod: 11,612: Med.) and dates from the 9th century AD (rather late actually). The Hippiatrica is a collection of medieval veterinary healing methods and spells (mainly for horses LOL). Interestingly enough the spell containing the name of Κάσπαρ is actually a greek transliteration of a latin text. The poor 9th century byzantines couldn't understand a word of latin. The language must have sounded quite mysterious and exotic to their ears. Here's the full text of the spell (the spell itself is almost nonsensical but has many distinctly latin words and phrases. Of course, you will readily recognise the greek instructions at the bottom of the magic text):
Καδούκαμ αβελφάμοθλ, φάμουλ, δεήνόμεν. Κάσπαρ, Μελχιώρ, Βαλτοσαράγ, ο θεός ισχυρός άγιος αθάνατος ωσσάνα, σουσάννα Αγαθή, Λατζία Κοσμέν εθ Δαμιανός, Λίνα Κλέτοθς εθ Τζιπριάνους ντόμινε ντζιέσζουμ κρίστε φίλιους δέκει άλτισιμ τουμ λίμπερα δε ιστομορβομ περ μέρτι μπεάτα εθ πάυουλι εθ σάντου Δονάτι άλφα εδώμ αμέν, ή Οφείλεις δε ποιείν εις αυτήν την διάταξιν λειτουργία απάνου εις τον πάσχοντα και να τον ρίπτει εις τα άγια και εις την εξυστερινήν λειτουργίαν να το γράψει εις χαρτίν βέβρανον και να το δένι εις τον αυχένα του πάσχοντος ίππου

Hi Dr.K. Thank you for your questions about Pancanada in the Indo-Greeks_100bc.jpg map. Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you. I have had very little luck looking for more information; it seems Pancanada is very poorly documented - there's not even a Wikipedia article about it. The only sources I have that show Pancanada are Joseph Schwartzberg's Historical Atlas of South Asia, and John Nelson's WorldHistoryMaps.com atlas (says Pancanada lasted from 130-100 BC, then was conquered by Taxila, possibly N. Sakas).
Thus, I am not sure whether Pancanada is ruled by an Indo-Greek, Indo-Scythian, or native dynasty. I'll keep looking for more info, but I would appreciate any info you may have. Respectfully, Thomas Lessman ( talk) 11:31, 3 August 2008 (UT

its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

If you wait until the AFD is closed it may no longer be eligible, because articles have to be nominated within five days of creation.
