thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: Recently, a large amount of text was added to the article. This not only makes the article very large, it also seems a bit out scope for the main subject of the the article.
I propose that these sections, (i.e. everything in Pre-colonial History apart from the first 3 paras):
* Munokalya Mukuni 
* Selection process and investiture
* Be-Dyango selection
* Selection for other roles
* Munokalya Mukuni funeral rites
* Memorial Sites
* Gundu
* Residences and important sites 
* Notable Mukunis 
be split into a separate page called Munokalya Mukuni, or similar. This will ensure that the content of the current page stays closer to main topic. The sections noted above are large enough to make their own page (even after needed editing and trimming).
I would be interested to hear if other editors agree or not. Thanks. AukusRuckus (talk) 15:48, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Although there was no discussion, reading the policy and thinking it over, it looked to me like a split would not be very controversial due to WP:SIZESPLIT and WP:CONTENTSPLIT. Hope it's ok that I close this myself. If not, my apologies. Just thought it might cause confusion to leave the discussion open when  move had been done. Please pardon any poor procedure on my part.

Talk:Northern Province, Zambia

message: I looked up the Bisa people here on Wikipedia, and they are listed (under the name Bissa people, but the article says it is also spelled with one "s") as an ethnic group of West Africa, not South Africa.
However, they are mentioned as living in Zambia's Northern Province. Why? Are there two Bisa peoples? Yewlongbow (talk) 05:17, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bisa people? 

message: The Bisa are a Bemba speaking ethnic group. They speak a different dialect than the Bemba proper but it's the same language. By contemporary definition, they are usually classified under 'Bemba' since, like the Bemba proper (those who descend from people who were subject to Chiti Mukulu and not the Bisa paramount chief), they descend from Luba migrants who arrived in what is now Zambia from what is now the Katanga province in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the mid-17th century but eventually split from their sister 'tribe' to form the mushroom clan (Bena'Ngona).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.24.191 (talk) 17:02, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Alimorad Davoodi

message: To the people curious about this particular article; I realize that what I've put on here thus far is nothing but a stub that stands on little palpable basis. However, I do actually own a sort of compressed biography of Dr. Davoodi (around 13 pages or so, if memory serves) written by Dr. Rafati, head of the Baha'i Research Institute at Haifa. This biography is in Farsi, and sometime in the early summer - most likely June - I intend to translate the bulk of it, paraphrase it, and put it up here when done. But for the time being, this little paragraph is all I have. So until I get that out, please bear with me. Thanks. AdibMasumian (talk) 04:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Chinese accounting standards

message: If someone can edit this into Wikipedia form, the following information may be useful: 
:The Chinese accounting system in the pre-reform era was typical for a planned economy: it was about matching sources to uses to monitor the spending of funds as the funder intended. It was not about matching revenues to expenditures to ensure that investments were profitable. See generally ALLEN HUANG & RONALD MA, ACCOUNTING IN CHINA IN TRANSITION: 1949-2000, at 25-28 (2001). And the design of current accounting rules often owes as much to the need to ensure tax revenues as to the need to match revenues with expenditures. See Charles J.P. Chen, Ferdinand A. Gui & Xijia Su, A Comparison of Reported Earnings Under Chinese GAAP vs. IAS: Evidence from the Shanghai Stock Exchange, 13 ACCOUNTING HORIZONS 91, 102 (1999) (citing CHI-WAN YANG & JILIANG YANG, HANDBOOK OF CHINESE ACCOUNTING (1999)).

Talk:Edward Kellogg

message: In addition to Edward W. Kellogg, who already seems to be represented in a Wikipedia article, there was another "Edward Kellogg" (1790-1858), an American businessman who wrote a book entitled, "Labor and Other Capital" (1849). While I don't know anything about this person, I am vaguely acquainted with his book. In at least the latter regard (his book) and perhaps the former as well (his business career), his contributions seem significant.
Should Wikipedia provide an article regarding this person? If so, it seems there should be a "disambiguation" to distinguish him from "Edward W. Kellogg", for whom a Wikipedia article has already been written.
I will provide any assistance I can. But I'm not sure how to enlist help from "experts" in this regard. Please let me know what needs to be done, and if help from me is needed. David Kendall (talk) 04:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I get the impression that an episode of "Lost in Space", titled "The Great Vegetable Rebellion", shares the same plot as "The Traffic Zone" where the characters turn into vegetables. I remember seeing the Hoppity Hooper version but have only heard of the Lost in Space version. Given the balance of talent between Jay Ward versus Irwin Allen, I'd be inclined to think that the Hoppity Hooper script is the original one. 66.68.159.105 (talk) 05:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Kazungula Ferry

message: Historically, before Zimbabwe and Namibia gained independence, the Kazangula ferry was the one "overland" (or more accurately, "over river" point of transfer between black and white-controlled African states.  Then-Rhodesia and South-African controlled Namibia as well as Portugese-controlled Mozambique borders were closed with the neighbouring black countries.  Botswana, of course, needed to maintain relationships with South Africa and Rhodesia for its economic survival.  So you could cross the ferry between Zambia and Botswana at the one point in the river where the borders intersected, and then carry on to Rhodesia or South West Africa (Namibia).  It was quite a safe crossing, if something of an adventure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.129.63 (talk) 04:34, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Thus, they maintained that the ferry crossing from Botswana to Zambia needed to pass through Rhodesian or South-West-African territory ... and they therefore proceeded to sink it.

Beata Beatrix, an 1870 oil on canvas painting depicting Beatrice Portinari (1266–90), subject of Dante Alighieri's La Vita Nuova, at the moment of her death; Dante claims to have met her only twice, on occasions separated by nine years, but was so affected by the meetings that he carried his love for her throughout his life.
