Hello,
The issue is much more complex than the question you posed.
Firstly, please be aware that there were multiple committees set up to create alternatives to the Tal Law. Each one failed. I believe there were three total. The committees included representatives of Likud, Kadima, etc. The last one, I believe, included just a few people and was supposed to be based on the previous committee's recommendations, and was made up of Likud and Kadima senior members (including Mofaz).
Here's an article in which the Plesner Committee was dissolved (since they didn't recommend equal service for Arabs, and when I say equal I don't mean discriminating against Arabs who serve, I mean having Arabs serve in the army just like any other Israeli citizen). As you can see, the plan was for Bibi (he had some of his senior members do it) to work with Mofaz to create a solution.
In fact, Bibi and Likud accepted the recommendations of the Plesner Committee, excluding the part about Arabs not serving. The question then was what should the new law have. Yisrael Beytenu wants full equality across the board, as do most Israeli citizens, to a certain extent. Yisrael Beytenu is an important player in the faction. Their leader is the Foreign Minister of Israel. Yisrael Beytenu planned to oppose any bill that didn't give full equality. Or should they try to appease Shas (in my opinion, they shouldn't), and lessen the draft for haredim?
Initially, they were making progress. The team consisted of Vice Premier Moshe Ya'alon (Likud) and Yohanan Plesner (Kadima) and also consulted with representatives from the Defense, Finance and Justice ministries as well as civil service officials. But then, they just got stuck. In short, they had two opposing ideas for the alternative law.
Kadima wanted more of an overhaul to the system than Bibi's Likud. Bibi/Likud wanted more of a compromise. Yes, Bibi still did rely on the religious party Shas for support, even though his approval ratings in the polls are overwhelmingly high, he needs it for his coalition. Bibi's first run as prime minister in the 1990's resulted in many political failures regarding the faction. And so far, Bibi has been the exact opposite, and has thwarted many of these failures in his second run as prime minister now. He intended to keep it like that. Kadima was never part of the faction (since Livni was stupid like that), and only joined to make it easier to find a solution.
After the Yaalon-Plesner committee broke down, Bibi planned to propose a new law. I am not certain, but I believe that Bibi's proposal was the following. 50% of ultra-Orthodox Jews, or Haredim, between the ages of 18 and 23 would be drafted by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and another 50% would be drafted into operational civil service between the ages of 23 and 26.
So now Kadima is out.
In the end, it will only hurt Mofaz. Public approval of Bibi was high around September last year, when there was talks of an early election, and he would've been voted again. Mofaz hasn't garnered that large support. Staying in the coalition and creating a breakthrough was really the only way he would be able to do it. But now, people see him as just a politician who does things for his own gain and accuses others of his failures. Plus, his own party is splitting up, with 4 members wanting to join Likud. It will only grow weaker.
[NOTE: This MAY NOT happen. These are my predictions]
Any questions?
Thank you very much for the detailed summary. For the record, I do know the main things that are going on in Israeli politics, as I have been reading a lot of Israeli news sources for the last five years. However, I might not always know all of the details. Your analysis seems very different from that of Peter Beinart -- http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/07/05/your-move-mofaz.html , who argued that the only way for Mofaz to revive Kadima's public support is to withdraw from the Netanyahu coalition. However, Beinart might not be the best source for Israeli political analysis, considering that his prediction that Kadima's public support will be revived if it withdraws from the coalition ended up being false. Netanyahu's final compromise bill actually does sound like a good solution. I did not know before that he proposed such a bill. It's actually quite interesting that the Right and Left are trying to break up Kadima nowadays and I've also heard that some Kadima MKs want to initiate another leadership election. I don't get the point in Kadima MKs being so angry at Mofaz considering that he only did what most of them wanted him to do (withdraw from the coalition). Also, I don't get the point in most (24) Kadima MKs voting to withdraw from the coalition, considering that working with Bibi and getting a draft bill through was the only way that the party could have revived its public support. I wonder if Mofaz would be willing to rejoin the Likud if Kadima completely collapses in the near future. To be honest, Mofaz is my current favorite prominent Israeli politician outside of the Likud.
Also, I have a question--where do you except to see the Arab-Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian peace process in five years? Do you think that Bibi will still be the Prime Minister at that point? Also, how do you expect Obama and Romney (depending on who wins here in the U.S. in 2012) to treat Israel in the new Presidential term (2013-2017)?
I really enjoy discussing Israeli politics, considering that I was born in Israel and lived there for almost nine years. It appears that you are extremely knowledgeable about Israeli politics, so thank you for discussing this issue in depth with me. Futurist110 (talk) 23:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
Wait--I have a question--did some Kadima members already announce that they want to join a new centrist party led by Livni and Haim Ramon (if they decide to actually make a new party) or are Livni and Ramon allegedly just trying to get some Kadima members to leave the party right now without much success? Also, considering that Tzachi Hangegbi announced that he wants to rejoin the Likud right now, what would be the harm of Mofaz trying to rejoin the Likud when his political positions are pretty similar to Netanyahu's (with the exception of the draft issue)? I've heard that Mofaz only left Likud in the first place because he was losing the Likud leadership race.
I get that Bibi's compromise bill might not be good enough for many Israelis, but it's still better than nothing. As for my favorite prominent politicians in the Likud, I'd say Bibi and whichever other ones also support the two-state solution, since the two-state solution is the only realistic solution to this conflict that both sides can be at least somewhat happy with. Futurist110 (talk) 01:18, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
“Some Kadima members felt the same way as I did, that the party’s leaving the government was a serious error. I tried to bridge between them and the Likud. Unfortunately, some were afraid to act according to their conscience out of fear that they would not be placed in a realistic spot on the Likud’s list for the next Knesset."
I will never, ever leave the Likud, it is my home.
In regards to Mofaz rejoining the Likud, I meant in a couple of years, not now. I used Hanegbi as an example to show that rejoining the Likud after leaving it is certainly possible. I read on Haaretz several months back that Sharon offered Mofaz the #2 spot in Kadima, but Mofaz's initial refusal to join Kadima cost him this spot. Had Mofaz accepted, he would have become the Israeli PM after Sharon's stroke instead of Olmert, which would probably have been a good thing for Israel.
Also, in regards to Peter Beinart, automatically dismissing someone's argument due to a negative characteristic of the person is an example of a logical fallacy called argumentum ad hominem. Beinart's work has been praised by Bill Clinton, if I recall correctly (of course, Bill Clinton isn't exactly pro-Israel either and he has a long-standing grudge against Bibi). However, due to Beinart's prediction being spectacularly wrong this time, I will be more careful in taking what he says at face value without other (pro-Israel) sources backing him up.
I'd be very glad if Livni's attempts to split Kadima right now fail. Mofaz was gracious to her and stayed in Kadima after he lost the Kadima leadership election, 2008 (a page which I recently improved a lot), but Livni refused to do the same when she lost a rematch to Mofaz this year.

Hey there,
It's great that you started a Wikipedia article and you were really active about it (the Beilin-Abu Mazen agreement).
A few tips that are crucial:
I'm planning on an article for the One Minute of Silence campaign - the campaign to hold 1 minute of silence to remember the victims of the 1972 Munich Massacre at the Olympics. I already added most of the references that will be used in my sandbox. OF course, more can be added. I'd appreciate all the help I can get in creating the article, since it will be a rather long one, and if you're interested, you can go ahead and take some of the references, read what they say, and create a passage or paragraph or sentences about them, and place the reference at the end of this paragraph or passage or sentences. Here is the sandbox that you can edit.
Edit however you want. Wikipedia editors are not allowed to team up to edit with a particular POV, although you can't edit with a POV regardless. Rather, edit solely based on what the references say and in a neutral manner.
Thanks.
Why are the JCPA sources not the best when it comes to this? Also, sorry for not responding to your e-mail, but I was kinda busy lately, considering that I made 5 new maps (check my upload page on my Wikimedia Commons profile (it's still Futurist110)). I'll respond to your e-mail eventually when I'll have some extra time. And I just want to clarify--I always edit based on the facts and in as neutral of a manner as possible.

A tag has been placed on Roman Chatov requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

Yeah I primarily want articles that tell the whole story. I don't care if they do it in a biased manner (as long as the bias isn't too large), since I can figure out and filter the biased stuff whenever I see it. Futurist110 (talk) 05:13, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Regarding Goldman Sachs, what evidence can you offer that these papers are in any way notable? As it stands, that entire section should be removed (as Wikipedia is not an arbitrary list of stuff). — Lomn 22:00, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
In regards to Economics Paper No. 134, I have not found any contemporary sources talking about it. However, I did find numerous sources from several years later talking about the Next Eleven, which is a term that this economic paper first created and brought into popular usage.
As for the rest of the papers that I mentioned, you can either find some media reports about them yourself or remove these papers from the Goldman Sachs article. Futurist110 (talk) 22:46, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Dear Futurist, I hope you found my response to your RD/H query on Druze in Israel helpful. I do believe you're a good-faith participant in your queries that encourage in-depth understanding of complex issues. Your regular respondents are sincerely helpful and the contributions are generally respectful of sometimes sensitive topics. The caveats I offered in my remarks were mainly directed towards the lurkers - whom I believe number in uncounted hundreds or thousands - who read the RD for information on topics of interest. It would probably be more effective and responsible of me to provide links to specific articles from the sort of sources I advise reading, and once I complete a current time-consuming RL obligation I can do that more often.
Now that I've read your User page, I will trust you won't misunderstand me if I describe the Druze stance on foreign policy as basically hawkish. (This is an example of language I won't use on the RD unless my judgment is temporarily impaired.) I'd further state that it's fair to generalize such a thing as a Druze "stance" because theirs is quite a cohesive community and culture, not only religious tenets. But for me to write in a general forum without attribution, no.
Mainly I want to encourage you to read features, commentary, and op-ed pieces in the Haaretz online English edition and Ynetnews (the online English edition of Yedioth Aharonoth; ignore the occasionally poor translations and editing). I can't vouch for NRG (Maariv's equivalent of Ynet) and don't know the Russian-language press. Get to know writers whose judgment you trust and read them not only on topics of interest but on anything - it's a great way to broaden and deepen your knowledge base. If you're a fulltime student, it's way faster than reading any of the many excellent (and others not-so-good) books on the past and present of Israel and the Middle East.
Hope this helps! I'll keep following the Humanities RD and see how I can contribute better. Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 05:48, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

You need to change the hook, not just the list. At the very least, you need to say which source says Kennedy was the richest, as there are many reliable sources that say Washington. Probably a fairer hook would say Washington or Kennedy, and perhaps the fairest hook would say Washington. Savidan 22:12, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey Futurist110!
I'll be your instructor at the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy.
I will help train you in using two tools, among training you at identifying vandalism.
Firstly, I will need to know whether you have WP:Twinkle enabled in your gadgets, and whether you have downloaded WP:STiki.
A reply here would suffice. Thanks! --Activism1234 16:39, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
All right so we'll start off with downloading Twinkle. Just simply enable Twinkle by clicking here and if necessary, scroll up to "Twinkle" and check it. It's as easy as that!
As the Twinle page explains, "It provides users with three types of rollback functions and includes a full library of speedy deletion functions, user warnings and welcomes, maintenance tags, semi-automatic reporting of vandals, and much, much more."

For the elections 1788-1852, I used Michael Dubin's United States Presidential Elections, 1788-1860: The Official Results by County and State. For the elections 1856-1892, I used Walter Dean Burnham's Presidential Ballots, 1836-1892. For the elections 1896-1932, I used Edgar E. Robinson's Presidential Vote, 1896-1932.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Race, ethnicity, and religion in various censuses is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Race, ethnicity, and religion in various censuses until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Orlady (talk) 04:14, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

It's been since September 7, and I see you have been busy on other projects, so perhaps you've decided not to pursue this DYK nomination further.

The article Kame Nakamura has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Salvidrim! 10:21, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I don't want to sound rude or unbecoming but even though I like the new article you wrote about Adelina Domingues, I think every article that had been previously deleted and hasn't been approved to be remade by the deleting administrator or community consensus but wasn't a blatant recreation of the original deleted article should go under Deletion review where the community can establish a consensus to keep the article or not. I hope you understand that I'm just trying to follow protocol and am not trying to offend you. Whether the article is kept or not isn't my business and for the most part I am recusing myself from the actual conversation besides putting in the request.

"The percentage of non-religious people (atheists, agnostics, and irreligious people in the U.S. has drastically increased from 2% to 13%. This occurred at the same time that Americans became much more educated on average."
The above statement occurred in your edit of this article (as mentioned in the headline above), drawing correlation between education levels and religious beliefs, implying that religion is something that the un- or under-educated need. There is no proper citation, but even then, it is unnecessary and speculative, and does not follow MOS:OPED.

Just wanted to let you know that I've reviewed the article; very good job. =)
There are just a couple of niggling details with regards to the hook that I've outlined there, in which I think you might want to consider. Bear in mind, this is my first ever DYK review, so my standards might be a bit detached from that of others actively involved in the page.
Oh, and I also went ahead and proposed an alternative hook, if you're interested. The one you have right now is probably fine, but I thought you might like to see the one that I came up with before settling on the original.
In any case, take care. Looking forward to passing the article in the near future. =) Kurtis (talk) 15:49, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Futurist110, I have located the book you put in a request for, and I was wondering if you could clarify what exactly it is you need (I am fairly ignorant in the relevant subject matter, so please bear with me). Do you have any specific date ranges you would like aliyah data for? The most complete data available is for the years 1919-1948, but rough estimates also are available for Jewish immigration in Palestine for the years 1882-1903 and 1904-1914. From 1919-1948 there are 5 periods in which the immigration is split: 1919-1923, 1924-1931, 1932-1938, 1939-1945, and 1946-1948. For each of these periods, I can give you the numbers of registered immigrants, broken down into "Immigrants on arrival", "Illegal immigrants" (immigrants who arrived in Palestine illegally, were intercepted by the authorities, and afterwards registered as immigrants), and "Travelers registered as immigrants", and unregistered immigrants, broken into "Illegal immigrants" and "Travelers remaining illegally". For each of these periods I can also give you a percent breakdown of the immigrants from continent of origin (Europe, America, Asia, and Africa). If this is not the data you need, please message back and I will do my best to find it. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a scanner, but I can certainly type out any info you need.

Hi, Futurist. I reverted your recent edit to Template:List_of_federal_subjects_of_Russia because it left the table in a broken state. Dricherby (talk) 10:07, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Futurist. I saw your notice on the DYK talk page. The fact that your nomination has not been reviewed a few days after you nominated it is not surprising. It usually takes 2 or 3 weeks for all nominations made on a certain date to be reviewed, as there is a huge backlog and not so many reviewers. So be patient ... and start another article!

I haven't been able to find where you get the stats for MA and RI, although I do see the national stats are confirmed. But I cannot seer for the life of me why we'd go with the horribly tortured wording of ALT6 at this point, given it amounts to the exact same claim as the original blurb. Can you tell me on which exact pages the stats for MA and RI are located? Do you want me to approve ALT6? At this point I far prefer the original hook. μηδείς (talk) 03:50, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

How about, "according to the 1850 US Census, Massachusetts and Rhode Island were the first U.S. states to become urban-majority, 70 years before the U.S. as a whole?"

I mostly love the images you have used on Urbanization, but I would suggest you ask at the Help Desk how to make some of them into a separate gallery section with separate columns.

Hello, I recently noticed that there were a number of articles in Category:United States of America, which is a "container category" that should have only 2-3 articles directly in it, with all others sub-categorised. So Urbanization in the United States and Grover Cleveland Presidential campaign, 1892 should not be directly in the cat. Looking closer, I notice a lot of those articles had a large number of way too broad cats (Like Category:Cities for Urbanization in the United States, and Category:Corruption for Grover Cleveland Presidential campaign, 1892.
The History tab is pretty crowded, and you make a lot of edits without an WP:Edit summary so I can't tell if it's you or someone else who is adding too many cats, but in either case, could you help me out with making sure, per WP:Categories that articles are placed in as precise a category as possible?

Hi Futurist110. I reverted your edit removing Narcissus of Jerusalem from the List of centenarians (religious figures), because it constitutes original research. The threshold for inclusion on Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. Is it true that Narcissus was probably not 116? Absolutely, I would put money on it. But is it verifiable? No, unless you have a source that gives a younger age for him or explicitly questions his age (in which case, just show it to me and he'll be gone from the list). With sources claiming that he was 116, and without any that question it, saying that he wasn't 116 is, at best, original research or, at worst, your subjective opinion, neither of which are appropriate for Wikipedia. After all, you removed him from the list, but certainly he was very old. How do you know that he wasn't 100 or 101, a perfectly reasonable age for someone to attain? Furthermore, just because the GRG has only verified one 116 year-old man doesn't mean that he is the only 116 year-old man in human history, just the only one who can be verified. Even the GRG admits that. So unless you have a reliable source that challenges his age, please don't remove him again. Thanks. Canadian Paul 00:02, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Futurist110,
I noticed the recent press releases and updates to Jiroemon Kimura's Wikipedia article, declaring him the last living man of the 19th-Century. I would like to dispute this claim on the basis of the Wikipedia entry for Mr. Jozef Kowalski, born 2 February, 1900, acknowledged as the world's oldest living military veteran, possibly Europe's oldest living man. I think it would be a credit both to Mr. Kimura and Mr. Kowalski if a correction could be made to the former's biography. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Futurist110, it appears that you're attempting to include your own template formatting text when you promote DYK nominations, and it's causing very anomalous behavior.
When you promote a template, you should only be doing two very small things to activate the template's built-in substitution mechanism:
That's it, aside from the usual edit summary. (A more complete explanation can be seen on Template talk:Did You Know#How to promote an accepted hook.)
Because you've been editing by hand, you've been missing some important deletions and additions.
What I'd recommend is that you go back through all your promotions to undo and redo them so they have proper formatting and inclusions. I've just done the Fishing industry in Denmark one, which is especially problematic in that it currently shows an aberrant "if yes" (in braces) on the T:TDYK page.

Thanks for the review, I hope to see the article up soon. As far as I know, non-free, fair use images are okay for articles. If it was to be used on the front page, I could see how it would be problematic.

The article Frederick Frazier has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
Update; the article is now being considered for deletion. Discuss here whether you think it should be kept or deleted. CommanderLinx (talk) 16:41, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm slightly bemused by your repeated edits to this article today, changing the size of the picture (17 times it looks like). Are you aware that you can use the "Show preview" button to see the effect of your change, rather than keep saving?

Hi, I've seen you post a few times on the DYK discussion page that you want your hooks approved already. I've been working as a volunteer reviewer for a few years now, and I can tell you that we seem to have far fewer reviewers than before. It's not unusual for a hook to sit on the nominations page for 3 weeks before anyone even looks at it. Please be patient; it won't go anywhere, and eventually it will be looked at. And once it's approved, please be patient for it to be promoted to a queue. There are usually anywhere from 25 to 50 hooks awaiting promotion, and we can only take 7 at a time.

Hello — In this edit of 1790 United States Census, your new text “If there was an undercount” puts If in bold. At first sight, I assumed that to be a typo, but since it's been in place for a year and survived all other editors, it may not be as “obvious” as I thought. Might you recall if the bold font was intentional? Unician ∇ 10:07, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
Might you be interested in setting up an archive for your talk page? The guidelines at WP:ARCHIVE suggest that archiving messages and discussions may be helpful when a talk page grows beyond 75 kb or 10 main topics. In leaving you my previous messages on the US Census, I noticed that your talk page is far beyond that point, now grown to 250 kb and almost 200 main topics. Archiving would just shift the older items to a new, adjacent page so that this page is easier to navigate and loads more quickly. Does that sound useful? It's easy to set up, and I'd be willing to help if you'd like. Unician ∇ 16:44, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:04, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
I responded to your hatted question with some thoughts, without giving a definitive answer to your actual question. Do look and read.
To answer the actual question, I strongly recommend not going down the path you propose - in the UK at least, insemination occurring outside the confines of the "authorised" legally recognized medical structure for assisted reproduction have I believe, led to the man being deemed the father, even though he never put his penis in the woman's vagina (but I am not a lawyer, so there is the possibility that I may be wrong). But do go and read my other thoughts about the practicalities (not just the legalities) of your question. Eliyohub (talk) 13:35, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

I tried answering your question, though my answer was mostly "see a lawyer, if you want to be confident the agreement will be upheld in court".
But as a practical mater, I am intrigued. The law in question deals with situations where the woman wants to get pregnant, and is willing to waive her claim for child support in order for the man to agree to do so.
Now legally, the desire by the woman to get pregnant may not be an issue in such an agreement's validity, though I am not a lawyer, and have not even read the relevant law. But as a practical matter, how on earth do you expect to get such a woman (one who does not want to get pregnant) to sign such an agreement? She'd have to be really keen on sleeping with you, I would think? (A prostitute, might be an exception - if you're her client, she may well agree to sign such a waiver - though if I was the prostitute, I'd include a clause that the agreement is null and void if you as the client sabotaged or removed the condom. But otherwise, they'd probably be OK with this). I think if you ask a woman to sign such an agreement, won't you freak them out and scare them off? (Others have commented that you seem to have some terrifying fear about ending up with the financial responsibilities of fatherhood, and I think they have a point. I think a woman approached with a request such as yours may well react similarly - "what is going on with this guy, that he makes an unheard-of request?". Ditto your earlier question about insurance against sterilisation failure. Approach an insurance broker with such a request, they'll likely think you bonkers for wanting insurance against such a tiny risk of something not-so-terrible happening. (For some info on vasectomy failure rates, see [11]). Man, by all means use contraception, but stop living in fear! If you by chance get a woman pregnant, you'll cope, I trust!). Assuming the legal issues are not a problem, how do you plan to persuade the woman you want to have sex with to sign?
P.S. your question on sperm donation would have been fair except for "legal advice" prohibitions (I stuck to making it clear that I am no expert on the law), though I did go on a bit of a tangent, but I think the points were practically relevant. Eliyohub (talk) 15:34, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

With these edits, you really mucked up the formatting of the DYK template for Urbanization in the German Empire. You both wrote below the line that states "Please do not write below this line or remove this line. Place comments above this line." thereby getting rid of an essential pair of curly brackets, but you also removed the top section above the line that stated "Please do not edit above this line unless you are a DYK volunteer who is closing the discussion."

Since there do seem to be genes that make some people stay thin no matter what they eat, then gene therapy could be used to give everyone those genes. Of course, there would be downsides, like lack of appetite, and being hotter and nervous/jittery due to a higher metabolic rate.

It's all speculation, but it seems pretty clear top me that Puerto Rico would have gained independence were it not for the Spanish-American War. Spain was in sharp decline at the time, and would go through tumultuous times at home over the next three decades. I don't see how it could have held on to a far-flung colony that had obviously the means to go it alone. Now, whether Puerto Rico would have been satisfied with independence, or whether its leaders would have petitioned for annexation by the U.S. in one form or another, is another matter. I'm not familiar enough with Puerto Rican politics at the time to provide an answer. Xuxl (talk) 12:34, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
One thing to consider is that the Spanish-American War was in the 1890s, and Japan's expansion into the Pacific did not start happening until the mid-1930s. So, that's a lot of time, and many things could have happened during that span. As I mentioned earlier, Spain was in serious decline by the second half of the 19th century, so it's unlikely it would have held on to its far-flung empire very long, even barring a war with the U.S. There was an independence movement present in the Philippines at the time the USA took over, so one likely outcome is that it would have been successful (the U.S. used a lot of military force to repress it, something that would have been more difficult for Spain). An independent Philippines would have been even more of a sitting duck for Japanese expansionist ambitions than the American colony/protectorate was, so they may have fallen to Japan earlier then happened in reality. --Xuxl (talk) 12:35, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Russia was on its way to becoming a westernized country when it was derailed by the 1917 Revolution. It was growing richer, developing an industrial base and a middle class, and slowly getting rid of some of the more backward elements of its social system. Granted, there was still a long ways to go, and massive inequality, but its evolution could have been along the lines of other European countries. Now, Western Europe did not really begin attracting large numbers of outside immigrants until after World War II, and it would probably have been the same for Russia, with the added caveat that it was less urbanized than other European countries, and thus that it was likely to find low-skilled industrial workers in its own rural areas and not need to import them in large numbers for quite some time (which is what actually happened in Soviet times). So immigration was unlikely to hit until quite late. Likely sources would have been nearby countries that have been significant sources of immigrants in recent decades: Turkey and the Middle East; China; and probably also the Indian sub-continent and Africa at a later point. There would probably also have been significant movements of population within the country as well; communism restrained those as it was opposed to the free movement of peoples, but a non-communist Russia would likely have been open to it. Anyway, those are just a few ideas to consider. Xuxl (talk) 02:49, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand your question. France was attacked by Nazi Germany, and fell pretty quickly. If it had somehow managed to resist the German advance in 1940, it would have changed the whole character of World War II (i.e. no Battle of Britain, no Russian Campaign for Hitler) but that's very far-fetched. Definitely, there would not have been a change of régime and the distasteful episode of the collaborationist government led by Pétain and Laval would have been avoided. If Germany had decided not to attack France, and maybe concentrate on expanding eastwards, I guess the Third Republic would have lasted longer, but the tensions that caused the Fourth Republic to fall, linked to the future of France's colonies, would still have come up at some point. Not sure there is much more else that can be said. --Xuxl (talk) 02:00, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
I ran across a book you will almost certainly want to get a look at: Travel Guide to Europe 1492: Ten Itineraries in the Old World, by Lorenzo Camusso. No scholarly apparatus to speak of, but looks pretty well researched. The introductory sections take up some of the issues we discussed on the Reference Desk. & I stand corrected on at least one point: bridges and ferries began improving as early as the 1200s in much of Europe. - Jmabel | Talk 20:08, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

On 11 October 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Unconstitutional constitutional amendment, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that courts and legal scholars in some countries have expressed support for the idea that even a properly ratified constitutional amendment can be unconstitutional? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Unconstitutional constitutional amendment. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

US Banknote Contest | ![]() |
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

Please stop posting requests for advice regarding your reproductive health to the Reference Desk or indeed anywhere on Wikipedia. You have been asking these questions for years, have been calmly told repeatedly to seek the advice of a physician, and have ignored this advice every time. Please stop posting these questions. --Jayron32 15:28, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

This edit caught my eye. The sentence, as edited, now reads as follows: "While he responded to criticism from US law professor Richard Albert as opposed to Mike Rappaport, US law professor David Landau has responded to the criticism that the unconstitutional constitutional amendment theory blocks (constitutional) change by pointing out that this theory has ways to get around it." From this, I am not sure who is doing what to whom. Could you please edit this sentence to make it more clear? Also, please re-verify that it accurately reflects what is supported by the cited source. Thanks. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 19:06, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Regarding your inquiry from March (yes, I’m a little bit strange, and I found the question intriguing): I managed to dig up a recipe for pizza in the Encyclopædia of Practical Cookery, supposedly from 1892 though wellcomecollections.org dates the series to 1892–94, and this is vol. 6/8, so perhaps just a little younger. This classic Neapolitan version (oil, no cheese) is not exactly what we’d expect today, but it is a start.
Also, A.R. Kenney-Herbert: Culinary Jottings. 5th ed., 1885 has a number of recipes for what he calles "pastes" or pâtes d’Italie (i.e. pasta). Cheers ⌘ hugarheimur 18:47, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

I don't think Jeffrey Toobin is a law professor, but he is a well-known lawyer who wrote a book about the FL 2000 recount litigation. The book is called Too Close To Call. I haven't read it but it is supposed to be good. 2602:24A:DE47:BB20:50DE:F402:42A6:A17D (talk) 04:46, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
The main problem of the monarchy was its association - willingly or nor - with Mussolini's disastrous regime. It tainted what had been a relatively popular monarchy, and even in the referendum that followed the war, it was almost retained. If you look at the history of European monarchy, all of them fell after their countries were defeated in either World War I or World War II. In Italy's case, they both lost and won the war (they switched allegiance midway), but the damage had been done by their enthusiastic joining of the Axis before the war. I don't think small changes in how the war went down would have changed much. Signing on to the Nazi worldview spelled the doom of the monarchy. Xuxl (talk) 22:26, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
That's actually a good question. I tend to agree with your premise that the conquest of Algeria was a pet project of Charles X. Louis-Philippe was not known for his love of foreign adventure: his interest was modernizing the French economy (he was fairly successful) and establishing a working constitutional monarchy (he wasn't successful). Foreign adventures were not so high on his list, so I don't expect he would have been tempted to conquer Algeria. Xuxl (talk) 22:02, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

There you go. Let me know if anything is still unclear:
“5 Father Anselme and the other House of Bourbon genealogists, including modern ones like Mr. Dussieux (Genealogy of the House of Bourbon, Paris, Lecoffre, 1869, p. 4), attribute the paternity of Jean de Bourbon, seigneur de Rochefort, to Pierre I, second Duke of Bourbon, the natural son of Louis I. They are clearly mistaken ; they erred by one generation. Jean was the natural son of Louis I, first Duke of Bourbon, and as a result the brother of Pierre I. Indeed, Jeanne de Bourbon, the wife of Guy VII, Count of Forez, and daughter of Louis I, first Duke of Bourbon, called him “our dear and beloved brother, our natural brother”, in the gift she made out to him, in April 1363, of Beçay-le-Guérant Castle (National Archives, Bourbons, p. 1438, nr. 3090). Marie de Hainault, widow of Duke Louis I, called him “our beloved Jehan de Bourbon, esquire, natural son of our dear lord”, in a gift she made for him also in 1351 (ibid.) Stevert was not mistaken (History of the Dukes of Bourbon and of the Counts of Forez, La Mure, new edition, II, 32, note). In contrast, Stevert disputes that the bastard Guy de Bourbon, sire de Classy, could have been the son of Pierre I as Anselme (Great Officers of the Crown, Baluze - History of the House of Auvergne I) and others have claimed, without providing any proof. One can thus see that there was more than one unknown fact to be cleared up, even after work by some of the House of France’s greatest genealogists.” Xuxl (talk) 13:59, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

There were extremist revolutions all over Europe in the 1920s and early 1930s. I think the Bolshevik revolution was just part of a wider movement, although historically its is more important as it succeeded, whereas similar ones led by Bela Kun in Hungary and Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg in Germany failed. The underlying causes remained, however, and there were lots of societies where there were demands for a complete overhaul of what had been very elitist societies until the war. Mussolini was the one who took advantage of this desire in Italy (if not him, it could have been an extremist leader from the left, not the right), but the underlying conditions were present whether the Russian Revolution had been successful or not.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with Italo Calvino and his book of short stories Cosmicomics. In one of the stories (I see it's called How Much Shall We Bet? in English), taking place around the Big Bang, out of boredom, the two main characters make bets on what will happen next. The bets become more and convoluted, and at one point one surmises something like, "and let's say a planet is created, and there is sentient life on it, and one form of life becomes dominant, and it shapes the planet to its wishes... etc. until it gets down to 'does Mr. Brown take a right or a left turn at the light ?'" which becomes the object of the bet. Alternate history can sometimes be interesting as an intellectual exercise when you change one or two facts and try to reflect on what could have happened. But when you're down to six or seven orders removed from what actually happened and ask for validation on a hypothesis, you might as well write a novel! Which is I think where you're at with your latest question. Just to start from your basic premise that the Archduke lives, does that mean that he survives the assassination attempt (in which case, as we've already discussed, just the attempt might be enough by itself to trigger a war), or that there's no attempt (but that also does not mean there is no war, as Europe was a real powderkeg looking for a spark by then, so something else could have triggered a conflict in short order) and so on and so on. So your question is not really answerable outside the realm of pure imagination. Xuxl (talk) 13:33, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
I see you've returned once again to your favorite Reference Desk topic, asking for medical advice regarding reproductive health. You were warned about this last December, and desisted, but have returned to asking the exact same sorts of questions a few weeks ago. I let the first few slide, but it appears you are conducting some sort of breaching experiment and trying more and more progressively detailed questions of the same sort you were asked to stop asking before. Please stop. If you have genuine questions about your own reproductive health, please ask a qualified medical professional. --Jayron32 12:46, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
