Talk:British Columbia Southern Interior

message: Vs. electoral areas, that is.  While the census does use the provincially-derived regional district electoral areas as subdivisions, I'm not so sure this is the case with the polling subdivisions, which are federally-defined, though using electoral area boundaries in spots I'd imagine, simply because the census does.  However, I think you'll find that some RD electoral areas are in more than one riding; ridings do not coincide with electoral districts, I don't see why polling boundaries would be.  Also federal and provincial polling subdivisions are different; and not even provincial polling districts have much to do with electoral areas (more to do with postal codes, I think....).  What I'm getting at is I don't see the relevance of electoral/census subdivisions when there exist more relevant polling divisions; I'm not familiar enough with the latest round of redistribution to offer comparative examples; maybe I'm wrong and the electoral areas and polling subdivisions are identical - polling divisions are lot smaller than EAs though so probably several within each one, huh?  Historically, though, provincial and federal administrative boundaries of all types in British Columbia have rarely coincided historically unless mandated by the landscape; maybe with polling there's a direct link to the census subdivisions; but the "background" riding boundaries were evolved long before RDs came into existence, likewise the polling divisions.  Can someone prove for me that the EAs are how Elections Canada breaks down the electoral district?  If not, then the list of EAs should be removed and replaced with a list of communities/places.Skookum1 (talk) 23:36, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Wasōbon

message: What are the words for “book” in Japanese, and how do they differ? You should check Japanese Wikipedia, eg under 本 and書物, which link to lots of other articles, and make cross-links where appropriate. There are no citations at all: need to provide a basic bibliography, at the very least Kornicki, but hopefully a lot more. Why are various terms (like hyakumanto darani, seihanbon, etc) in bold? Isn’t italics enough? (English equivalents should be in quotes). What is the “Asa-Momoyama” period? Rather than describe the astonishing revolution of the late 16th to early 17th century by a standard period name, why not entitle the section something like “The revolution in printing in Japan” Jb05-Hds2 23:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Ferid Murad

message: As best I can understand the Albanian original, Murad did not say that Albania is his country (it was his father's before that man emigrated to the United States; it never was Murad's mother's country).  Rather, he said (translating from the cited article), that he hoped that Albania would come in at least one key respect to resemble his own country, the United States of America, where he was born and educated:
"[Murad] said that his parents were not educated, but . . . always committed to education and its importance. 'My achievement is thanks to the dedication of my family and devoted to them and my nation . . . .  This is the fifth time that I come here . . . .  But this time I'm impressed with the changes that are taking place here in Kosovo and Albania.  I hope that in the future the Balkans will be a mini-USA, but integrated in the same way as are the people in America.'"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.193.121.209 (talk) 21:20, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Acadie—Bathurst

message: The current version of the article is not clear about how the boundaries of Acadie—Bathurst and Miramichi were readjusted in 2004 and then readjusted again in 2005. The standard practice in Canada is for the boundaries of federal electoral districts to be readjusted based on the decennial census in years ending with "1". The new boundaries come into effect across the country at the same time, not piecemeal as they are completed. While the names of electoral districts can change one at a time between elections, the boundaries remain unchanged from election to election, except for the nationwide readjustment once every ten years. An exception occurred in Acadie—Bathurst and Miramichi. Those were the only two districts having different boundaries for the 2006 general election than they did for the 2004 general election. 
On 2004-MAY-11, the Federal Court (Canada) released its decision in Raîche v. Canada (Attorney General), setting aside a certain decision of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for New Brunswick, respecting the boundary between  Acadie—Bathurst and Miramichi.  However, the court suspended its decision for one year, so the impugned boundaries went into effect for the June 2004 general election (along with new boundaries for districts in all provinces). Later, because of the court decision, a special commission was established, the Miramichi and Acadie—Bathurst Electoral Boundaries Commission.. On 2004-DEC-08 this Commission filed its final report.. 
Parliament enacted a statute, An Act to change the boundaries of the Acadie–Bathurst and Miramichi electoral districts, in February 2005. This came into effect before the January 2006 general election. It is very, very rare for a couple of districts to have the boundary between them changed between elections, except for the decennial readjustment when boundaries nationwide are changed simultaneously.

Although I am not associated with this political party as described in this sentence:
