Talk:Hydro One

message: Can it be both a private company and a crown corporation, I'm unsure and would like some clarification. I believe the two are mutually exclusive. Private company implies that it is privately held, and not owned by the government. The wording and explanation in the first paragraph is confusing.--UnQuébécois (talk) 16:33, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a private company owned by the government! The company is structured like a shareholder owned company (in anticipation of possible privatization later) but there is currently only one shareholder, the Government of Ontario. A Crown Corporation is a government owned entity which is not structured with shares etc. Dabbler (talk) 00:01, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the wikipedia article on Crown Corporations: "Their legal status varies from being a part of government into stock companies with a state as a regular stockholder.", and the article on Private corporations:"A privately held company ... is a business company owned either by non-governmental organizations or by a relatively small number of shareholders or company members which does not offer or trade its company stock (shares) to the general public on the stock market exchanges..." and as such it is a crown corporation.--UnQuébécois (talk) 00:58, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: By the definitions you suggest it is as I said both. It is a "A privately held company ... is a business company owned either by non-governmental organizations or by a relatively small number of shareholders or company members which does not offer or trade its company stock (shares) to the general public on the stock market exchanges..." where the relatively small number of shareholders is one, the Government of Ontario. There is an EITHER... OR in there, not an AND so the non-governmental part is only part of the definitions. Crown Corporations are normally defined as government owned organizations without stocks or shares. In fact Hydro One is legally "A Corporation established under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) with a single shareholder, the Government of Ontario". Dabbler (talk) 02:33, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  The two are mutually exclusive, if a company's sole shareholder is the government, then it is a crown corporation. If you read further in the article about private company Private_company#State_ownership_vs._private_ownership it says just that. Also you can reference the Canadian encyclopedia online Crown Corporation, and the legislation of Ontario Crown Agency.--UnQuébécois (talk) 03:26, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Vittorio Mussolini

message: "his second wife" ???  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.237.110.22 (talk) 06:14, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I think that there is potential for some confusion when reading this article, especially with certain phrases such as this one: 
"However, he was the first officially acknowledged son of Mussolini, with his second wife Rachele; his older half-brother was never officially acknowledged by Mussolini's fascist regime." 
Does that mean that his older half-brother was never recognized by Mussolini himself? What does "officially recognized" mean in this context? I would guess that that might mean that his older half-brother was considered illegitimate, but I feel like it should be more clear about something like that. It could also potentially suggest that his older half-brother was somehow rejected by the regime and not specifically his father outright. I don't really have any information to verify whether either of those outcomes are true, but I think that what exactly that outcome is supposed to be should be clarified. 
Also, I think that something like... 'While Vittorio Mussolini was the second son of Benito Mussolini, he was the first to be officially recognized,' might be more clear in this context.

Talk:Donald

message: Should we have an IPA pronounciation of the name "Donald", and maybe "Dohnmall" as pronounced in Gaelic?
If so, my rough estimate for a Canadian pronounciation would be: dɑnʌld.
I know that there are many dialects out there, but I'm sure there are a few concrete examples available.
:It's actually Domhnall. The h, or séamhú lenites the letter m. It's pronounced similarly to Doe-nal, which is because the Scottish Donald and Irish Dónal are both derived from this same source.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.16.4.57 (talk) 21:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

the children who are excluded are those "considered by the Commission to be too young to comprehend the risks involved".

I don't walk around having memorized the text on the foundation's page. I'm reading it just now because something doesn't make sense. I go and check on it. This is why I don't donate to Wikipedia. Anyone could have read this article and saw that excluding children who DO comprehend the risk, and risk their lives anyway, MAKES NO SENSE. What would make sense is that a child DID place their life at risk to save someone else's life, but doesn't KNOW that they were placing their life at risk, or has a comic-book idea of what dying is like and so doesn't really understand that's IT for the time on Earth, yes, then they cannot get a medal for KNOWINGLY risking their life, because that's not what they were doing.
