Cannae

Is that 50,000 to 60,000 deaths or casualties? The first day of the Battle of the Somme (1916) also saw about 57,000 casualties. Hiroshima witnessed more deaths than that also. As I understand from the discussion on Talk:Battle of Cannae that there is some controversy about how many deaths there were.... --Habap 6 July 2005 17:02 (UTC)

Cannae had 50,000 to 60,000 Deaths. The first day of the somme had about 60,000 causualties of which about 20,000 were deaths. And hiroshima wasn't really a battle to the way i look at it.

From what I saw on Talk:Battle of Cannae, it seems unclear whether those were all deaths at Cannae. I am not familiar with the period (other than having studied Latin so long ago that I remember almost none of it), but it seems odd that all but a few men would be dead.... I took a break here to read this account, which makes it clearer how casualties could be so high (surrounding the legions). So.... nevermind! --Habap 6 July 2005 19:03 (UTC)

Mein Kampf

The article states "AN Arabic translation of Hitler's Mein Kampf which has become a bestseller in the Palestinian territories is now on sale in Britain.

The book, Hitler's account of his life and anti-Semitic ideology written while he was in prison in the 1920s, is normally found in Britain in academic or political bookshops.

But The Telegraph found it on sale in three newsagents on Edgware Road, central London, an area with a large Arab population." So it is supported by the reference. Jayjg 14:40, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Lin, is that you?

Regarding CLAMP

Hi. No, I did not wrote that on the page. I just moved the appopriate information into the sections.

Clarification to the sentence:

It means that in year 2004, which is CLAMP's 15th Anniversary, the members changed their names from Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona Apapa, Mick Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi to Ageha Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi (her name is pronounced the same, but written with different characters) respectively."

I hope this helps. ^_^

Campaign against "it's"

Thanks for asking! The use of "it's" is almost always wrong on Misplaced Pages as we try to avoid contractions. But beyond that, the possessive form is "its", not "it's". As always, though, contractions and bad grammar in quotations and titles (where correctly copied into Misplaced Pages from the originals) must remain. LilHelpa (talk) 11:43, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
