Talk:Criticisms of electoralism, USA

message: I removed the Disenfranchisement and System Integrity sections, as neither section deals with the electoral system.  If the US had direct democracy, the concerns under Disenfranchisement would still apply, as would concerns of voting fraud.  Neither of those sections spoke about the electoral system.

: No, it does mean exactly that. Each Sámi language refers to its own language as "the Sámi language". Sámegiella in North Sámi refers to North Sámi and any other Sámi languages are referred to with other names. -Yupik 21:44, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Thismess on October 25 added "Steyn has been on the Advisory Board of the International Free Press Society, a key component of the international counter-jihad network." I reverted. Thismess on October 26 added "Steyn has referenced Bat Ye'or's Eurabia theory and has been on the board of advisors of the International Free Press Society, both key components of the international counter-jihad network." (and later changed "network" to "movement"). Apparently Thismess doesn't think it's appropriate to discuss contested additions on the talk page, so I will: (a) at least one of the cites looks like a biased opinion and perhaps they all are (b) whether they think IFPS is counter-jihad is about IFPS not Mark Steyn (c) saying somebody has "referenced" Bat Ye'or is saying almost nothing -- by putting it in the article Thismess has also "referenced" Bat Ye'or and so have I by mentioning this, I hope that illustrates how trivial the implications of the word are.

message: I am a founder member of the Portsmouth Sinfonia and owner of its copyrights and archive.
This article has a couple of inaccuracies. The bit about the Schuman and Grieg piano concertos is incorrect and should be removed. The Portsmouth Sinfonia have never done this.
Symphonia should be Sinfonia
Adrian Rifkin was not a founding member of the Sinfonia, but was present at the first concert
The above assertion is not sustainable, Adrian Rifkin was in his first year of teaching at Portsmouth when the Symphonia was founded and is playing the first violin on the floppy disc given out for the degree show, as well as playing in the Purcell room. The Symphonia was founded as the result of a conversation between him and Gavin though Gavin was the prime mover - this something a student might not have known! If Adrian is absent from the first picture with the Pier at Southsea in the background it is because he was orchestrating the image with the photographer. The  original entry did not include the fact that Michael Parsons invited the PS to the Purcell Room, a move that effectively saved it from immediate extinction. gaisavoir

message: Hi all,
First timer here. Maybe nitpicking but in macro-economic courses that I took (Econ and math major) I was taught that the federal reserve's interest rate manipulation, open-market operations etc. were examples of monetary policy, not fiscal policy. I understand fiscal policy to be more the tool of congress i.e. changing taxes or spending money to stimulate the economy. I believe articles on fiscal vs monetary policy should support this.
This is in one of the first paragraphs in the introduction section, which I guess I can't edit. Language would be much more precise if it were to be changed imho. 2601:586:5280:EEB0:303D:85BB:6EF8:B46E (talk) 05:32, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Is there any historic basis for this depiction, or was it a fiction for the book, perhaps drawn from her name?

Talk:Economy of Africa

message: The economy of Ethiopia is a mixed and transition economy with a large public sector. The government of Ethiopia is in the process of privatizing many of the state-owned businesses and moving toward a market economy. The banking, telecommunication and transportation sectors of the economy are dominated by government-owned companies.
Ethiopia has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and is Africa's second most populous country. Many properties owned by the government during the previous regime have now been privatized or are in the process of privatization and the liberalization of its financial sector in the near future. However, certain sectors such as telecommunications, financial and insurance services, air and land transportation services, and retail, are considered as strategic sectors and are expected to remain under state control for the foreseeable future. Almost 50% of Ethiopia's population is under the age of 18. Even though education enrolment at primary and tertiary level has increased significantly, job creation has not caught up with the increased output from educational institutes. The country must create hundreds of thousands of jobs every year just to keep up with population growth. Sufi Hussein (talk) 06:51, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
