Talk:List of Commonwealth of Nations prime ministers

message: Doesn't Tony Blair qualify?  — Gulliver ✉ 20:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Tony Blair

message: What do we do about prime ministers of presidential (or semi-presidential) republics? These generally seem not to be listed, but obviously they are commonwealth prime ministers. john k (talk) 17:31, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll be honest.  I'm not entirely sure what the point of this article is.  There, I said it.  Surely, it's important to have a list of Commonwealth Heads of Government, but I'm not so sure there's anything special about Prime Ministers.  Bastin 21:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: If that's true, then are we even certain the order of precedence refers to members of the Commonwealth of Nations rather than the Commonwealth realms? -Rrius (talk) 11:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not at all, although even non-realms are treated differently from normal states - High Commissioners instead of ambassadors, and such like.

thread_title:  Copyright issue 

message: I visited Prague for the first time in 1993, and remember hearing that the former owner of the restaurant had locked himself inside with explosives after his company went bankrupt, and the police had to wait several weeks for him to eat all the food in the freezers before he gave up.

message: Can anyone give me any links to the source of the rumor, that the tower was planned to be used to jam incoming western radio and television transmissions (particularly Radio Free Europe) and that it had a potential use as a communications facility for Warsaw Pact forces in the event of an attack on (or attack by) NATO? I've lived in Prague for 19 years (and was born there) and I've never heard of this rumor, so I'm afraid it might be just a popular theory or urban legend. In that case, it should be mentioned in the article or removed altogether.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.113.8.138 (talk) 08:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Levine's sign

message: http://www.med.uiuc.edu/m1/ihd/qafrost0405.htm mentions the history of the sign, but I could find nothing more on the good Dr Levine. JFW | T@lk 21:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: This

message: The article states:
:The sign has a sensitivity of 80% for myocardial infarction (MI), i.e. in patients with cardiac pain and a heart attack, Levine's sign was positive in 80%; however, it is not very specific, as the absence of the sign in patients with cardiac pain would falsely miss 51% (Edmonstone 1995).
To clarify, specificity means the degree to which the presence of the sign confirms the presence of the disease. If the sign is absent when the disease is present, it lessens the sensitivity, not the specificity. This paragraph contradicts itself (or is written in a confusing way).

thread_title:  Some examples of improvements 

message: Hi. Considering that "electronic journalism" and "electronic news gathering" are interchangeable terms, I propose that the articles are merged. A side benefit is that the general public might assume "electronic journalism" means online publishing etc, as opposed to using a digital video camera to record the story. So this merger also removes that ambiguity regarding the article name. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 07:43, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

100% pro user-centric solution
I think it's important to note that, while Wikipedia is for all of humanity, articles written in English are more often than not written by Westerners who are mostly Christian. IMO, this is why we are seeing such a strong distaste for dispensing with BC/AD notation. Because this is the dominant POV, what's "normal" or "without question" is a matter of unconscious bias -- just as with any other culture.
Replacing BC/AD notation with BCE/CE notation is *not* revisionist as it is only a change in notation; it is not a change to encyclopedic entries on the notation, Gregorian calendar, or Christianity. While I would personally be satisfied with this simple transformation, I recognize that -- while the system is the de facto standard for the global economy -- not all cultures use the Gregorian calendar.
Really, the only "fair" solution is to empower users with the capability to choose a notation / calendar system for displaying dates. Of course, this solution would allow for exceptions.

Talk:Canada–United States border

message: "lies on the 49th parallel north" is not quite accurate; I prefer "lies along". The border is defined not by the abstract latitude but by markers like this obelisk, which wobble from 49° by a few hundred metres each way; see 49th parallel north#As border.  It follows that the Northwest Angle is not the only bit north of 49°. —Tamfang (talk) 06:06, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  the 49° line 

message: The article would be made more useful if it began with at least a general description of the geographical location of the border. The detailed description of the border is given later and is subdivided by provinces or regions beginning on the west coast. However, as the delineation of the Canada-U.S. border proceeded from east to west, it would make more sense to present the description of its route in the same fashion. This was the approach taken in the Treaty of Paris and I would surmise though I am not certain, in most of the other documents which defined the border. This being the case, the description of the physical border from east to west would better enable the reader to relate that process to related historical events.

thread_title:  Etymology  

message: Some of this article is garbled.  (1)  "In the outer area are royal palaces, a funerary palace containing five subterranean royal tombs."  This is an incomplete sentence.  Is the funerary palace one of the royal palaces, or is it different from them?  (2)  In what language is the name "Chogha Zanbil"?  The article is unclear but seems to suggest it is Persian, presumably modern Persian.  In what language is the name "Dur Untash"?  The article says the "original name" was Dur Untash and that is Assyrian.  Since Elamite is not Assyrian, this makes no sense.  (3)  The statements that Elamite is a language isolate and the translation of "Chogha Zanbil" (from what language?) do not belong in the paragraph of history.  I suggest a paragraph devoted to accurately and precisely giving the missing linguistic information, including the original name in Elamite, if possible, rather than Assyrian.
