Thanks for the comment on the fasting article. I agree it needs more information on Islamic fasting.

Ahh! Thats an easy one: Leadbeater's Possum, Victoria's state animal (I live in Victoria), a close relative of the Sugar Glider, and (as it happens) the creature I have in mind to do next. Unlike the Sugar Glider, Leadbeater's Possum is endangered. You remember how the USA nearly lost the Bald Eagle, it's national symbol, and only just banned DDT in time? Like that. Only for Leadbeater's Possum the problem isn't DDT, it's this mania we have for cutting down old growth forests. I have to do a major update on Possum anyway shortly, to link in the possum species I'm writing up tonight, so I'll fix it up them. Thanks for the heads-up! Tannin

I've done a bit of a rewrite of the opening of the Catholicism page. The opening paragraphs were almost incomprehensible, not to mention monumentally wrong, and some new user came along and made them worse by far. It is hard anyone could do an article on Catholicism and not mention things like Apostolic Succession, the Vatican, etc. It is a bit like doing a history of the USSR and forgetting Stalin. Have a look at the rewrite and see what you think. I think it reads far far better and is far more accurate. FearÉIREANN 00:37 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)

You seem to be mistaking that those numbers refer only to Poland when in fact they refer to all Eastern countries. A quick search gives 3 million expelled from Czechoslovakia with between 20,000 - 200,000 killed and 200,000 German killed after the war in Yugoslavia. It seems likely it will quickly add up to the quoted figures when we add Poland, Russia, the Baltic countries, Hungary,
... Most sources say that most of the movement happened after the war though, not during.
Other quick searches show that listing on the Volkslist even in categories 1 and 2 did not give automatic citzenship in Nazi or post-war Germany (although it was almost certain).
And that Poland did not only expel those on the list but indisciminately.

Re River. The sub-heading is "fiction", not "fictional rivers". "London is Edward Rutherfurd's third enormous volume of historical fiction.", according to http://www.sfsite.com/~silverag/rutherfurd.html. Andy Mabbett 23:31, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Fascinating. IMO, this is worth thinking abt turning into some article content on the process and controversies. I'm not ready to do systematic research on it, but i'm certainly going to make an effort to sound less authoritative abt it!
(But of course i would still be glad to get the West Wing episode info & West-Wing Watch reaction, which often has significant Beltway expertise behind it.)
Have you found anything on the NDak case? I wonder if they were just pretending to believe they needed Federal permission? Whatever "West Wing" suggested, i am sure the whole thing is just a "not as cold as you thought" publicity stunt, so why not pretend they can't do it alone, rather than look like complete fools for doing it? (Think of the cost of new stationery (public and private) and highway signs....)

It is nice to see there is someone else here with an interest in Prussia. Have you done any official research on the nation for the COE? I would like to ask you to add a paragraph to the Prussia talk page detailing your choce of wording. User:Zestauferov
I have done no successful research, but:
Well, all that's pretty flimsy, i guess!
(When i searched National Archives and Records Admin., i was expecting to turn up something like a charter for Hawaii but Public Laws of 1959 (i think that is the term) is probably the place to look. (And they are so vast that i don't relish such a prospect.)
Hope that's not too disappointing!
--Jerzy 03:44, 2003 Nov 11 (UTC)
(Hmm, here's where i intended put my edit on this subject that ended up on your user-page. Have you considered making the top of that page look more like a user page, to reduce the confusion? A couple of lines would make a big difference, IMO; as it is, you had me trying to figure out at one point whether you had redirected your talk page to your user page, or vice versa!)
You wrote, on Jerzy-talk,
by which you must mean that the post-act annotations don't include that subsequent case. (BTW, i often call majority opinions "rulings" (which is not usually excessively loose); you aren't referring to a minority opinion, i hope? (Of course minority opinions in a lower court, can turn, not just rarely, into rulings of US Supreme Court.))
I agree that that is interesting, but doubt it tells us much: if no court has applied it to conditions that are (implicitly or explicitly) imposed on every state, it might be premature to include it, even if is reasonable to expect it to apply to state name.
My understanding is that there is a lot of what i'd consider "common law" that applies to what we might call "high law" such as this; perhaps common law is a greater part of high law than of ordinary law: i have read that a large fraction of accepted international law is not treaty law, but merely the implications construed from the acts and "forbearances" (IIRC the term used) of nations. So IMO my reference to colonial charter could be as pertinent as anything explicit that we'll find!
If i had the _Oxford Companion to Politics_ (IIRC its title) at hand, i'd browse it for ideas. (I've had great reverence for it ever since reading its entry on "state" (not US sense, of course), and if i ever see a used copy, i will buy it in a shot.) --Jerzy 16:18, 2003 Nov 11 (UTC)

It is time that you make good on your threats to me posted on this user's talk page by blocking SimonP for having four times reverted information on Fallujah in violation of the three-reverts rule.

Of course substantive participation in the debate would be a viable option for you or for SimonP, but you seem incapable of responding substantively, but rather prefer to beg the question and rely on techical measures to assure dominance.

WWJ is actually on a regional channel - 950 kHz. The article is based on the channels historically defined as exclusive to Class IA stations by NARBA. That agreement coordinated skywave (nighttime) AM coverage over the North American continent.
Also, WJR is on a clear channel, but it is 760 kHz, not 750 kHz.
I might suggest that you delete WWJ and correct WJR. Thanks, K7jeb 00:54, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I don't really know what the criterion is for listing stations in this article. I happened upon it, saw a few stations listed and added some that I had listened to as a kid, back when MF skywave was a viable medium. I think we ought to stick with frequencies that were originally allocated for Class I for historical reasons, but beyond that, who knows.
Actually, you have opened up the interesting, general topic of MF broadcasting frequency allocations which woould probably make a good article on its own.

<<"Tamazight was an oral language only".
Why was this removed from article? Is it inaccurate? "The Berber languages in the Maghreb have officially been subjected to Arab, as part of government policy and was mainly spoken at home and in villages. However, with a growing tribe-awareness and desire for (at least cultural) independence (especially among the Kabyl people), the mother tongue has become more important and efforts are made to make for instance formal education bi-lingual. In this sense, Berber languages have become political tools to support the struggle for (more) independence."

It is very hard to answer your question, somewhere between 10% and 90%. There are said to be no pure blooded Maori left but I know several who deny having any Pakeha ancestry. Equally many, possibly most, of older Pakeha families have at least one Maori ancestor but may not willingly admit it. Others boast proudly of being 1/32 or even 1/64 Maori. For statistical purpose race is left entirely to personal choice. Good in some ways but it doesn't lead to accuracy. I am an immigrant to New Zealand, my children were born in Canada but I already have one part Maori grandchild. That's just how it is here. ping 09:05, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
