Talk:Arab Maghreb Union

message: I've made a start at editing the economy section. The numbers in the table were inconsistent, because the total in the GDP (PPP) column didn't match the sum of the other values in that column. The populations implied by "GDP (nominal) per capita" and "GDP (PPP) per capita" match pretty well, so I judge that the error was on the bottom row, and I've edited that value to agree with the others.
In two places, the section mentions that one of the member states is excluded from the combined Arab Maghreb Union economy. However, it doesn't say which member state is excluded, or whether the combined economy is something like a customs union/currency union or merely a statistical area. It also gives a value for the combined GDP (PPP) of those four member states as US$1.5276 trillion, but this isn't consistent with the $1.5761 trillion that was in the table (because it's US$48.4 billion less than the total for all five member states, but there's no member state with an economy of that size - it's between Libya's and Mauritania's, with neither being particularly close). Since I've edited the total GDP (PPP) for all five member states, the GDP (PPP) for the four member states is even less plausible, the total for four states is more than the total for five states, which is impossible.
The last sentence before the table says of Libya that it has "incomes exceeding US$65.803 per capita", but seems not to fit well with the table, whether we read it as "sixty-something USD per year" or "sixty-something thousand USD per year". (It might still be consistent with the table, depending on the time interval for the value for Libyan incomes.) It might be better if that sentence removed "exceeding" and specified whether it means "median annual income" or something else, but maybe the number should be updated first.
Where the numbers are inconsistent, possible causes include typos, currency conversions, and differing time intervals. Tim Ivorson 2023-09-05 10:44, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

message: I felt it necessary to change this icon from a portrait of Jimmy Carter to the .   As to the selection of Jimmy Carter in particular, many people may have no idea who he is.  Plus, Jimmy Carter is more recognizable to most people as a US President than a Georgia politician.  Lastly, on the suitability of personal portraits in general, there's a high chance that this stub will appear on pages with other portraits, and thus create confusion about the association between the two.

Talk:Aurelio Voltaire

message: I'm just saying, this page needs a few things updated. It doesn't list any albums past '09, it has an outdated picture of Voltaire(he no longer wears his hair short and he looks a bit different), and he's done a few more things on AdventureQuest. He has also made some toys, and has said that he may be making another book, and possibly an animated movie. I'm sure there are other things, but these are just off the top of my head. Also, if the debate on his religion is still going on, he's agnostic. He has said so in a Youtube video were he answered questions.

Talk:Abdulaziz Al-Saqqaf

message: If the text is to say that his death was in "what was claimed to be" a traffic accident, there should be some citation to a source suggesting it was not a traffic accident.  I did some hunting on the web and could find no such source.  The obituary cited in the external links section states, "The death, in such circumstances, of a prominent critic of the government is liable to arouse suspicions. A swiftly-issued statement by the official Saba news agency sought to give reassurance. It offered condolences from the Ministry of Information and said that Dr Saqqaf had been run over by a Mercedes, registration number 23059, which was driven by Samer Ahmed Ali, a secondary school student aged 18. The statement added that the youth, a son of Dr Ahmed Al-Seri, a Professor at the Faculty of Arts, had been arrested."  That indicates to me that it was merely a traffic accident.  
I don't have any personal knowledge about this, and no particular interest in the subject; I just thought the language was overly suggestive.  Thunk 18:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

The analysis is straight forward as all parties represented contested the election and the electoral districts remained the same. The use of Swing charts can convey a lot of information one graphic.

: In English, the word is occasionally used as a noun indicating the time frame in which someone 'flourished'. 
I hope the colleague wanted the word "indicating" for the sake of a bigger word, not just a more ambiguous one than "meaning", so that we can analyze, with equal validity and less effort, the clauses
: the word may be used as a noun, meaning the approximate time in which someone lived and/or was prominent.
   On that assumption, this article -- on the use of fl. or flourished to identify a point or chunk of time as the best info we have to substitute for DoB and DoD -- is being needlessly burdened by explanation of a rare variant usage that will be self-evident when (and if) it is encountered: analogously, i don't like the expression "I have to caveat that.", but i get the meaning when i hear it, and would resent wasting any entry at Caveat (disambiguation), or a sentence at any of its targets (except, possibly, Patent caveat), intended to explain, excuse, or deprecate that (far more common and thus more worthy-of-mention) usage: WP:NOT a dictionary, nor (except in very special cases) a usage guide. (BTW, i do not consider the accompanying article a usage article, even tho it highlights the specific word rather than the important scholarly practice of having a compact mechanism for dealing with uncertainties in the temporal relation among events.)   Perhaps the composition is so obtuse, or my comprehension so dim, that there is something useful in that sentence, which i do not detect. For now, i'm killing the sentence, while i stand ready to listen to any arguments for restoring it with something that offers a benefit that is discernible, and more commensurate to the clutter and ambiguity i've eliminated.--Jerzy•t 04:21, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
