thread_title:  Etymology 

message: moved the article "Oka River" to "Oka (river)" without leaving a redirect, stating "River" is not part of the name, see WP:NCRIVER and WT:RIVERS#Article titles for rivers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.  However, the common English seems to be "Oka River".  See, for example, the Britannica article. The section NCRIVER points to (Wikipedia:WikiProject Rivers#Naming) and indicates River articles may be named "X", "X River", or "River X", depending on location and most common usage.  The reference to "WT:RIVERS#Article titles for rivers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus" should have been to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rivers/Archive 6#Article titles for rivers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, a discussion that does reach the conclusion for such rivers that it does not matter what the common English usage is, because in local usage those rivers are known without the equivalent word for river in the title, and that all such rivers should be in the form "X (river)" where disambiguation is necessary. I should note however that the usual Slavic form where river is in the title is "River X", and that "Река Ока" does appear as the title in some Russian articles, for example here, here, and here; as well as "Rzeka Oka" in Polish here for example. The Russian Wikipedia considers the river to be the primary target for "Oka", and nothing on the Oka (disambiguation) page in the English Wikipedia seems to suggest otherwise.  I suggest that the article should be moved to "Oka" as the primary topic, with an appropriate hatnote to the disambiguation page. --Bejnar (talk) 20:24, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say that English usage is mixed ("X River" and "X"), like it is for many other rivers. In the discussion mentioned above I tested that for the Volga, let's see what the same encyclopedias and dictionaries say about the Oka. Britannica: Oka River, Columbia: Oka, encyclopedia.com: Oka (Columbia copy), Lexico: no entry, Merriam-Webster: Oka, American Heritage: Oka, Collins: Oka. Like you I thought that the Volga tributary would be the primary topic, but apparently the car (named after the river), the village in Canada and the cheese (named after the village) get almost as many views. So it seems there is no real primary topic here. Markussep Talk 11:18, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

:The annualized return is closer to 42%. 
:Firstly, the midpoint, not the endpoint (which would yield the 22%), of the 35-year payout period should be used in the estimate, because the $22,888.92 was paid out gradually over this period.
:Secondly, $49.50, not $24.75, was contributed, considering the employer's matching contribution, which is generally considered, in the long run, to reduce the employee's pay by an equal amount, since an employer has a predetermined amount he is willing to spend retaining an employee.
:$49.50 x 1.42^17.5 = $22,890 —Preceding unsigned comment added by TTTAR (talk • contribs) 11:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Calculating return based on midpoint is also incorrect due to the exponential growth of interest.  Consider that her monthly checks for the first year were $22.54.  Thus, her payments for the first year totaled $270.48.  With a principal of $49.50, that kind of return is completely unrealistic from a normal investment.  A 42% interest rate would have yielded only $70 at the end of the first year.  For the first generation of recipients, the benefits were essentially a gift. This massive discrepancy between the contributions and benefits is the "Legacy Debt" that is built into the system. -- N.

replies: text: I removed an (unsupported) and widely incorrect statement about an annual return of 22%; since her monthly paycheck from Social Security was roughly what she contributed in total, her monthly return is on the order of 100%.  Which is irrelevant - Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system, not a return-on-investment system, and always has been.

Talk:Mohammad Fahim Dashty

message: You appear to be confused about the references in this article. The IGN article you linked indeed talks about fake news related to Pakistani drone strikes in Afghanistan. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with this article. The sources for Dashty's death are unrelated to the fake news "game footage", as they were made by newspapers and defense analyst Babak Taghvaee based on entirely different research. Neither The Week nor ORF, the two sources you have repeatedly removed, talk in any way about "footage" being used to prove that Dashty was killed by a drone strike. No one is using "footage" in regards to Dashthy's death. Your claim that "no drone strike happened" is based on your own interpretation; the Panjshir conflict article makes it quite clear that several sources have alleged Pakistani air attacks which have not been proven wrong so far. Applodion (talk) 22:53, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: National Resistance Front of Afghanistan officials, i.e. his companions, have also accused Pakistan of killing him. Thus, an independent defense analyst, local Afghan fighters, and whatever source the ORF used all say that Dashty was killed by a drone strike. The article clearly attributes this claim, and now also includes the denial by the Taliban and Pakistan. This presentation is both fair and neutral. Applodion (talk) 23:07, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dawn Run beats Buck House - The Match 

message: I was a big fan of Deep Run as a sire and went racing twice a week in the early 1980's. I saw Dawn Run in her first 10 races. My recollection is that Mrs. C.D. Hill her owner, did not ride her in her first 2 races. I am pretty sure it was Tom Mullins who rode her in the first two.  Different tactics were employed in each - In one she made the running and in the other she came from behind at the business end.  The third run was in Listowel and I remember it well. Some of my friends from Carrick-on-Suir and disctrict, including Nicky 
Coghlan from Windgap, Richard O'Gorman from Templeorum  (he still thinks I drive to fast), travelled down to back a horse in the bumper to be ridden by John McEnery from Kilmoganny. The racing papers were full of the story that this would be Mrs Hill's last race in public as the Jockey Club were not going to renew her licence to ride. It struck me that Paddy Mullins had set this up as a winning finale for his owner. She used to travel up from Waterford to Goresbridge to ride out almost every day. I backed Dawn Run that day, and she duly obliged and gave her owner one of the best day's of her life. Paddy Mullins must have had a wry smile that day. His genius was proven once again. Dawn Run went on to win the Winners Bumper at Galway  on "concrete" ground with Tom Mullins in the saddle. The fact she could win on ground like that which she hated showed how good she was in those early days.  Ron Barry should have won on her on her first visit to Cheltenham but he did not make enough use of her front running abilities from my point of view.

Yes, 國 is obviously traditional and 国 is simplified, but as for the "strengthen" character, I find that it is not quite the same. For example, "rape" is designated 强奸 in mainland China and Singapore, and 強姦 in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Japan (the characters 强奸/強姦 literally translate to "forced promiscuity", where 强/強 translates to "strong", "strengthen", or "force"). -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 10:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
