Talk:Demographics of Iraq

message: The figures on religion are a mess and contradictory, not only here but also in other Iraq articles. Are Shia 65% (second paragraph, on top) or 45% (table Religions) ?? Kipala (talk) 23:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Religion statistics a mess 

message: "A report published by the European Parliamentary Research Service": To quote an article and then change the figures is a bit bold, I think. The number of Kurds e.g. is given at 8 million in the Wiki article, whereas the quoted report says 4 million. It is equally interesting how 15 million Shia Arabs and 9 million Sunni Arabs equal 20 million Arabs...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:DF:5F4A:A011:6809:F276:DC33:F8D5 (talk) 16:39, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ethnic and Religious Groups a mess as well 

message: First of all, both articles seem mostly overlapping, including much of the lead section. Secondly, the claim of Iraqi ethnicity with a strong Arab element is a highly dubious policy of Baathists who were long overthrown; while most modern Iraqis do see themselves merely as Iraqi nationals of distinct ethno-sectarian origins such as Shia Arab, Sunni Arab, Kurdish, Assyrian, Turkomani, etc. Third, we have already merged similar articles such as Libyan people.GreyShark (dibra) 07:56, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

I also recommend that the pie charts be removed as they add no correct information (allow only singular numbers and not a correct “64-69%” approximation). They serve only as eye candy.

The Companies Act 1989 (which amended the 1985 Act substantially) is available.  Given the 1985 Act is slated for repeal with the Companies Act 2006 coming into force over the next couple of years, prospects of it now being published are probably very slim.

Talk:Conservation Reserve Program

message: It doesn't seem healthy to state that blip about non-farmers and urbanites finding the program controversial (at least not without expounding) -- suggesting it is just "a way for farmers/big ag to get federal dollars without having to plant anything".
Indeed, it is the landowners responsibility to seed the land with appropriate plant and grass seed, at market costs. It is also the landowners responsibility to maintain the land according to standards. It is not a free ride.
Additionally, many of the same said 'non-farmers' and 'urbanites' represent a certain duplicity... sharing the same environmental and land/wildlife preservation goals that programs like this make possible; and providing opportunities for sportsman by increasing and improving hunting land.

* The parentheses surrounding the sum of three partial derivatives look different.
* The comma at the end of the line looks different.
* The parenthesized number (1) at the end looks different.
Those are among the changes made by my recent edits.  Also, on Wikipedia, although TeX looks good when "displayed", it often looks terrible when inline.
Observe, for example, the expression e^{\int_0^1 f(x)\,dx}\,.  It's misaligned.  The e should be at the same level as the preceeding and following letters; the integral should be a superscript.
Also, note that in non-TeX notation you don't need to write 3 . 10; you can write 3 × 10 or 3 · 10.

and
: 10−3.
