Talk:Jérôme Napoléon Bonaparte

message: He was one of the richest men in Maryland (IIRC, Harper's called him the second richest), the nephew of Emperor Napoleon, progenitor of the American branch of the Bonaparte line, friend to Winfield Scott and Robert E. Lee, sometime go-between and/or translator for the French and American governments (e.g., the de Shuys letter to Pierce), and, perhaps most importantly, the father of Charles Joseph Bonaparte.
Clearly, the article needs to be expanded. If I could find the paper I wrote back in college, I could write a properly-referenced article; unfortunately, the chances of that are slim, and I don't have immediate access to my original sources (most of which were copies of papers at the Maryland Historical Society, I think). --75.36.135.165 13:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Alquerque

message: I want to know what others think about the "Bell" rules, I've read through them but I don't really see why they need to exist. However I've included them for completeness.
The first "A piece cannot move backwards" along with the third "Once a piece has reached the final line it can only move while capturing opponent pieces.", would seem to be a rule that just results in stalemates with most pieces ending up stuck.
The second "No piece can return to a point where it has been before" just seems impractical, having to remember all of the previous moves, I wonder if Bell actually meant that you can't return to the position that you just came from.
Also the second way of winning, "None of the opponents pieces are able to move", I've tried playign with Alfonso rules and it seems to me that with the original rules a draw is impossible, I can see no situation where it could occur.
-- Imran Ghory
----
The rules given in this article are extremely vague and incomplete. Most importantly (in my opinion) it does not state what happens when a player is faced with a position in which two (or more) pieces can make a capture:
* Do both (or all) of these pieces make a capture, thus making several moves in one turn?
* Does the player get to choose which one of the pieces should make the capture, while the other gets huffed?
* Does the player get to choose which one of the pieces should make the capture, and the other one stays?

message: The articles stated: The oldest known board is unfinished and was carved into the roof of the temple at Qurna, Egypt, built around 1400 BC. Friedrich Berger has argued that some of the diagrams at Qurna "cannot be dated" because Coptic crosses, used in the 1st century, are also carved there..
However, as Berger points out, these were merels boards, not those for alquerque. -- Zz (talk) 14:39, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The last line of the definition states
"Also, since the empty biproduct is a zero object in the category, we may omit the first condition. If we do this, however, we need to presuppose that the category C has zero morphisms, or equivalently that C is enriched over the category of pointed sets."
Is this necessary? Doesn't the existence of a zero object ensure the existence of zero morphisms?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.3.25.131 (talk) 14:16, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

message: If Megiddo is in "the occupied Palestinian territories", then it should be listed as Megiddo, Palestine instead of Megiddo, Israel, right?  -- Zoe
----
I found 2 references in other on-line encyclopedae. One lists as "Israel", other as "Northern Israel". So I changed the occupied... part back to Israel. I left the "military prison" part because it seems more NPOV than the "convicted of terrorism" line. If anyone knows more and can maintain NPOV, go to it. -- Marknau
: Megiddo is well inside the Green Line, although many Palestinians think it should be theirs together with the rest of Israel (an early version of the Acre article classified the city "occupied Palestinian land"). --Uri

What does Megiddo have to do with Eshqelon, which is "Majid" in Arabic?

Um, I think someone blew this one.  The description matches my former residence, Kibbutz Ramot Menashe, near the historic/archaelogical site/battle site Megiddo.

Talk:Joseph Stiglitz

message: The success of Mauritius over the last 40yrs has put George theory in the humbug basket. As a French colony it never did very well, at least not for the natives. The French administration was biased, corrupt, and  heavily preferential to France. After 1968, the country became a free-trade state with a competent and honest government. Land taxes would not have paid for anything because of the huge variations in the price of sugar and vanilla. The availability of labor and the safety of investments compared to the rest of Africa, has seen the country's annual growth rate beat 3% since the 1970s. Europe's economy in the Middle Age was based entirely on land and crop tax. City enterprises were rarely taxed.

Talk:Alexander Mackenzie (politician)

message: The article says, "In 1874, Mackenzie negotiated a new free trade agreement with the United States, eliminating the high protective tariffs on Canadian goods in US markets. However, this action did not bolster the economy, and construction of the CPR slowed drastically due to lack of funding." Is this referring to the Brown-Thornton-Fish Convention? If so, this reads as if the trade deal was successful, but according to the Canadian Encyclopedia, the trade deal was rejected by the U.S. This is confusing on two fronts. 1) It makes it appear that the trade deal went through and 2) It makes it seem that the free trade deal was the cause of economic strife within Canada when, in fact, it was never implemented.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigDaddyDouglas (talk • contribs) 16:18, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
