message: There seem to be references to "Nair" as castes, as an ethnic group, as a surname, and as a dialect. Is this article supposed to be a broad-concept article about this? In either case, there also seems to be a persistent ambiguity with meanings at Nair (disambiguation), most of which seems to be about a consumer product in the US. I've disambiguated links from the template namespace to be able to analyze Special:WhatLinksHere/Nair better. --Joy (talk) 08:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Pension

message: The page starts with "A pension (/ˈpɛnʃən/; from Latin pensiō 'payment') is a fund into which amounts are paid regularly during the individual's working career, and from which periodic payments are made to support the person's retirement from work." This isn't always true. The UK state pension for example is not based on a fund. Current payments are made from general revenues. There is no direct connection to the national insurance payments made by the recipients or by current contributors and which are supposedly used to pay for it. The total paid in is notably smaller than the total paid out!
The pension schemes of some state enterprises do not have a fund behind them either. Others do, as do private schemes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.97.62.77 (talk) 17:27, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:History of Nuevo León

message: Boone, I think it goes as follows: the long arm on the state of Tamaulipas used to belong to Nuevo Leon. Benito Juarez transferred most of it to Tamaulipas in punishment after the governor of Nuevo Leon, Santiago Vidaurri, didn't support him against the invading French and Maximilian. This move effectively removed a large income from trade with the USA. Only tiny Colombia was left as border for NL.
Sergio sanchez
(24 Feb 2006)
::You have to remember that Nuevo Leon dates back to long, long before the existence of the U.S. It was originally a "kingdom" of the Spanish Empire as far back as the 1580s, before any English settlements had vfgffbceven been founded in North America. Even after it became a Mexican state in 1824-1825, it did not have a border with the U.S. or Texas, because the U.S. had not yet confiscated the northern territories of Mexico (that happened in 1846-1848). The original boundaries of Tamaulipas (or Nuevo Santander, as it used to be called) included what only later became South Texas, up to the Nueces River. If you look at the map with that in mind, it makes more sense. What now looks like a "long arm" of Tamaulipas was just part of the state, flowing naturally up to what is now South Texas. --Potosino 03:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Sunray

message: This is on the list of deadend articles as it contains no links. I've done a little searching around and can't find anything on military voice procedure - unless anyone can point me to something?  So what to do here?
My thoughts are:
# Move it to  Wiktionary - since it defines a word which doesn't leave anything else to say here?
# Move it to an "umbrella" aricle of terms used in British Military radio terminology - like Royal Marine Terms
# Create a larger article on military radio practice and teminology then cross link Sunray (and similar articles) to this master article
I'm afraid I can't help with creating content for any of these options as I have no knowledge of military radio practices.

Talk:How Long Is the Coast of Britain? Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension

message: This Wikipedia article covers one peer reviewed journal on a topic. This paper is fantastic, and could easily serve as a section on the page Coastline paradox.
