Thank you for your expertise

I did not know 'hot and straight' (USS Tang (SS-306)) was a proper term—should it be put in quotes or italicized to show this? Is there a list of naval terms to reference? How can this be standardized for the future? Once again, thank you for the correction :-) --Parhamr 19:31, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did find a reference, Jeff Crowell maintains a glossary which includes 'hot,straight and normal' at http://www.combat.ws/S4/SAILOR/SAILOR.HTM ; as you can see he's maintained it for 17 years now so seems like a reliable link which could definitely come in handy. Italics are used in the rest of the article for proper names, how about we just define hot in parenthesis, like so: ...was observed running hot and straight ('hot' meaning the engine had ignited). Then we can link to Crowell as a reference, sound good? --Nonlucent 06:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and added it, please review and change as necessary. Thanks! --Parhamr 07:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your help please

I respect your use of reasoned, supported arguments in discussions that lead to improvement; can you weigh in on the use of 'slaughter' at Talk:The_Holocaust#NPOV_revisited? —Parhamr 04:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
