Talk:Pierre Buyoya

message: The page on Pierre Buyoya, ruler of Burundi, does not apear to adhere to Wikipedia's standard of neutral point of view. In the article the author asserts that "Buyoya is war criminal". Though Mr. Buyoya 
may well be one, the author should give only the plain facts and let the reader come to his or her own conclusions.  Further, his comment that Buyoya "will [in due time] will be tried and pay for the 
crimes against humanity that he perpetrated in Burundi" is unnecessary since the author cannot be certain of this.  Nothing substantial is relayed to the reader as the author's assertion is not a
probability but a solid projection.
______
I agree.  I will be checking this page in about a month (as well as possibly researching Burundi), and unless there are fresh comments on the talk page or fresh citations, I will re-word the sentence about "in due time".

message: I've looked, and haven't been able to find anything accusing Buyoya of committing crimes against humanity.  He was accused last year of ordering the assassination of a World Health Organization official, although the accusation may not be credible.  Former Burundian President Pierre Buyoya was on Thursday (January 27) accused of having ordered the assassination in November 2001 in front of the appeal court in Bujumbura of the World Health Organisation representative Kass Manlan. The charge was made by Belgian lawyer Bernard Maingain, the counsel for Gertrude Nyamoya, Manlan's former secretary who was arrested in 2003 and spent two years at the Mpimba prison. She was released after the court found her not guilty.
<BR>
Burundian legal sources dismiss the charges and describe the controversy as "character assassination" against Buyoya. Neither the WHO nor Manlan's family are party to the charge. Yet it could have severe domestic implications, though Buyoya is no longer president and is formally out of the political picture.
It sounds entirely feasible that Buyoya was responsible for the assassination of the man he overthrew in '96, and Buyoya does sound like a fairly shady character--another central African strongman.  But I haven't seen anything to back up this anonymous user's accusations. --Mr. Billion 04:41, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:BR Caprotti Black Fives

message: In the sentence
:The boiler was pitched 2 inches higher than previously and the running plate was also lower, necessitating the use of splashers over the wheels.
The use of 'also' is confusing.  Is 'higher' incorrect for the boiler?  'Also' seems to indicate that both should be the same. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 22:13, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wording 

message: Merge, as both cover much the same ground and a single article would explain this better. 
Also rename to something like 'BR Caprotti Black Fives', as at Commons. They're not LMS, they're not Stanier and using the numbers as the distinguishing feature is unclear to those not recognising this obscure and basically unimportant detail.
There's also BR Standard Class 5 73129, which is a synecdoche for the 30 Caprotti-fitted Standard Class 5s. Although I'd see those as sufficiently distinct to stand alone, but others might disagree?

replies: text: A historical progression is probly a better format for the article.  However, as for the above point, Progressive Conservatives had seats in Toronto under Mulroney, and you may find that these were from the more Progressive end of the party.  There's little doubt that there's some conservative elements to Toronto, but it's mostly Red Tory elements until you get fairly far into the 'burbs, where it changes up a bit.

message: When McIntyre noticed advocates of the Kyoto Protocol using the Hockey Stick graph from the 1998 Nature paper by Mann, Bradley and Hughes (MBH98), he perceived some similarities to a mining stock prospectus. He decided to try to audit the MBH98 data and analysis, basically as an intellectual exercise. He assumed that for such a fundamental paper an audit trail would be available in the form of detailed data listings and method description. He asked Michael Mann for data details on April 8 2003. The data listed in MBH98 did not match archived datasets, which lead to a Corrigendum in Nature on July 1 2004.
...(still need more detail here)...
In February 2006, the |U.S. National Academy of Science announced a hearing into the "hockey stick" and invited McIntyre and McKitrick to testify at that hearing .
McIntyre is the primary author of ClimateAudit, a blog devoted to auditing climate research, particularly multi-proxy temperature reconstructions. [The following text needs extensive revision:]See also RealClimate, a blog run by climate scientists, some of whose work McIntyre has criticised. (In fact, McIntyre started Climate Audit so that he could defend himself against attacks being made at RealClimate.)

message: Uncomfirmed Rumors
Some sources are saying that this is the last book in the "Charlie Bone" series, even though the term in Bloor's doesn't end for a while. This leads one to believe that the book will occupy a long space of time, or Bloor's academy is going to be shut down.

Talk:Robert Jaworski

message: To RexNL or whoever you are.
Your insistence on including Dudut's or his notorious son's exploit in this article is misplaced. Just start your own article about Dudut or his other son if you're so obssessed.
If you just seek to disparage Jaworski's political career then I think you need to know that his short stint in the Senate, mediocre as it may be, is only a small part of what he has accomplished in his lifetime. He represented the country in many an international competition and brought pride and honor to this country many times over. No matter whether you witnessed it or told to you, albeit in a watered down version.
Jaworski deserves a more meaningful tribute in this article and I don't think he should be defined by his son's activities or Political failures of which he played, really, a minor part.
--------------
This article on the Big J does not mention any of his accomplishments as a politician.  Perhaps somebody could suggest a good source?

Huh?? 3% of the the number of immigrants from each country was 357,802 people? That means every country on earth had exactly the same amount of immigrants living in the US? that makes no sense.

However, if you click on Albert Johnson, you'll find that he was born in 1906, which would make him 15 years old at the time of the Emergency Quota Act.
Clearly this is not the Johnson for which the act is named.
