Talk:Mahmoud Taleghani

message: The article states: "..during the pro-Western monarchial rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi." This is definitely POV. Although the Shah had allies in the West, his "rule" cannot be called pro-Western on this page. The sentiment that the Shah was pro-Western was introduced by the revolution (i.e. posters that said the Shah was the dog of the Americans) and is not accepted by all. There are many instances of the Shah standing up to the West (i.e. raising the price of oil). Even if the Shah had policies that were favorable to the West, his "rule" cannot be characterized as pro-Western. Furthermore, it is repetitive to say that his rule was monarchial. It is obvious his rule was monarchial based on his title, Shah. Would it be fair that when the Islamic Republic is mention it is preceded by "the anti-Western theocratic rule"? In this case it is also repetitive, because it is obvious it is a theocracy (based on its name). I propose that the phrase "..during the pro-Western monarchial rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi" be changed to  "..during the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi." I will implement this change if there are no objections. Agha Nader 22:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Strongly disagree. A government can do things not in the interest of the West (or some other  bloc) and still be unanimously considered pro-West (pro-whatever the bloc is). It doesn't say he is a servant of the West, or a "dog" of the West, it says he was pro-Western, i.e. allied with the West. --17:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Elizardo Sánchez

message: *In 1998, Sanchez was nominated to receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his work.
Being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official or even prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements, and more often it is impossible to verify. I see no reason to keep it.

I believe that the appropriate way to include something like this in the article would be to use the song's actual name, in its original language, not your own/a machine translation. Thus, it would be something like "Het Tietenlied," a name for which the song is notable and the way it is referenced in reliable sources, and not "the Tit Song," a name that is not. If there is a reliable source that refers to the song as "The Tit Song" in the actual text of the source, there would be no problem. PriusGod (talk) 21:43, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

However it was not long after that Amelio left to take the CEO position at Apple Computer, and he soon hired her to join him there, introducing her to the Mac community and thus the world beyond the relatively insular technology industry."

Perhaps that's what they meant. Guy Harris (talk) 19:27, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The article makes that claim, and the citation it gives says
:Ellen Hancock was Executive Vice President and COO of National Semiconductor from September 1995 to May 1996 where she worked with Dr. Amelio to shape National's strategy to profitability. During that time she demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the microcontroller marketplace and contributed to the development of the CompactRISC roadmap, a forerunner of the ARM7 architecture (editor's note: I was Product Marketing Manager of the CompactRISC group at that time).
So what is "the ARM7 architecture"?  Is it the ARM7 core, so that the CompactRISC microarchitecture was a forerunner of the ARM7 microarchitecture?  Or is it the ARMv7 instruction set architecture, the latest version with existing implementations, as used in the Cortex cores?  The ARM instruction set architecture first appeared in the mid 1980's, so if CompactRISC is a forerunner of the ARMv7 instruction set architecture, presumably ARM picked up ideas from CompactRISC and added them to the instruction set later (are they thinking of Thumb?).
In any case, I'll change "predecessor to" to the weaker "forerunner of". Guy Harris (talk) 19:36, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Franklin Chang-Diaz, of Latin American descent, went into space in 1986, seven years before Ellen Ochoa.
