Talk:Bruce Bueno de Mesquita

message: The first paragraph states that the History Channel documentary incorrectly stated that "Iran has launched a nuclear missile in 2008". As I recall it had rather had stated that North Korea had made a nuclear missle test. I think that the Korean test was of a missle, not a nuclear missle. Does anyone recall this from the TV documentary?  uriel8  (talk) 21:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: i changed your multiple inline templates to a more appropriate single template. section titles should not have interwikis nor inline templates. thanks for worrying.--camr nag 20:43, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, if no one provides any reliable citations for the "predictions" with evidence he really did predict these events before they happened in the next few days I'm removing the section. This kind of nonsense does not belong in an encyclopaedia 94.197.240.94 (talk) 01:03, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

What is it that determines whether a person will act for the benefit of the common good, if they will act for their sole benefit? 
I believe that you are the sum of how you were raised and your environment. Your core values and your ability to adhere to your values regardless of peer, crowd, or personal pressure are dictated by these factors.

thread_title:  Ethics? Subjective 

message: I think we should include this phrase: "The documentary also incorrectly states that Iran has launched a nuclear missile in 2008. In fact, Iran has both a confirmed civilian nuclear energy program and a separate missile program, but has not demonstrated any nuclear weapons capability". i feel this should be there because it adds depth to the mention of the documentary. if not, why not eliminate the documentary altogether?--camr nag 13:25, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: where is the reference proving that the documentary actually stated Iran had tested a nuclear missile at all? As you can see above "uriel8" disputes this claim. I do not see how this claim proves anything about Bueno de Mesquita's scientific worth whatsoever.  It is entirely irrelevant and also unreferenced  92.40.135.22 (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: the documentary itself is not referenced... should we put "citation needed" everywhere the article states something about the documentary, or just when it's a negative comment?--camr nag 23:14, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Academic Career 

message: Currently there are 13 references for this article. 10 are links to papers or books the subject wrote, 1 is his CV, 1 is a now-broken link to a Science News article, leaving us with just 1 independent resource - the New York Times article from more than a decade ago which is partially behind a paywall. Surely we need more quality references - peer reviewed articles would be preferable, but some general third party sources would help too. I'm not a political science guy so I don't really know what to look for. Cheers IrishStephen (talk) 12:48, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
