Talk:1997 Indonesian legislative election

message: I propose that Indonesian presidential election, 1998 be merged into this article. As the president was elected unopposed for fifth time by the People's Consultative Assembly, not by popular vote, the paragraph in this article is about all there is to say.

thread_title: Merger proposal

message: Comparing this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_Indonesian_legislative_election#1998_indirect_presidential_election) with the article that published in Indonesian (https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemilihan_Presiden_Indonesia_1997) I see different informations:
On Indonesian Wikipedia article, the infobox inform if the: 
1. MPR (People's Consultative Assembly) seats were 663 
2. Suharto got 91,55% votes, with 607/633 electoral votes 
3. His opponent, Megawati Sukarnoputri got 8,45% votes, with 56/633 electoral votes 
On this article (English) the infobox inform if the: 
1. MPR seats were 1000 
2. Suharto won unanimously, with 100% electoral votes (1000/1000)
:Multiple sources have the 1,000 figure (e.g. Washington Post, as does this book, which explains:
::"In accordance with Indonesia’s 1945 constitution, the president and vice-president were elected by the country’s highest legislative body, the People’s Consultative Assembly, MPR (Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat). This 1,000-member body consisted of the 500 members of parliament and another 500 representatives of different functional groups and of Indonesia’s 27 provinces. The appointment of these 500 delegates, together with the 100 appointed members of the military faction of parliament, was in the hands of the president. In practice thus, Suharto controlled the appointment of 60 per cent of the delegates in the assembly which elected him. Every fifth year between 1973 and 1998, the MPR unanimously re-elected Suharto for the presidency."
:In addition to the above statement that Suharto was elected unanimously, the book also states Suharto was elected 'by acclamation' and details how Megawati was prevented from standing.
:The figures in the Indonesian article are unsourced, and neither source cited in the article contains them. Cheers, Number 57 22:21, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Right angle

message: Please check the order of definition. Defining the right angle as 90° seems improper to me, as a degree is commonly described as 1/90 of a right angle, or 1/360 of a full rotation. If a full rotation is a basic notion, then the right angle would be more clearly derived from it than from a degree. It should be possibly noted also, what axiom states the full turn meaning, and the property 'all full turns are equal' so that we can derive 'all their quarters (ie. right angles) are equal'. --CiaPan 08:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Black Isle

message: We're often holding discussions about placenames at a Gaelic speakers group that I frequent, and The Black Isle is one that comes up quite a bit.
Callum Cameron (old singer from Glasgow/Skye) points out that Tain is Baile Dhubhthaich, and given that Tain is upstream from the Black Isle, it may be that the Black Isle was named originally An Eilean Dubhthaich, not An Eilean Dubh. This could have been named directly for the same Saint Duthus/Duthac or for the River Tain/Afainn Dhubhthaich that forms one of its three sides.
The Gaelic name could have mutated either due to natural change over time, or the English equivalent could have been a mistranslation that was back-translated into the modern Gaelic one.
This is just speculative discussion, but has anyone seen any academic statements to that effect?
It seems to me to be a very compelling argument....

Talk:Steam injection (oil industry)

message: I believe there are some major errors with this article. I grew up in the oilfields around Lake Maracaibo and worked there for a few years, and don't have any documentation of this. But I was told by people with actual experience (engineers and managers) that at least in the early to late-1970's, it was common to inject steam for 30 days, "soak" for 30 more days, then open the well to production.  I heard that the practice was more or less discovered by accident, as a result of a mistake during the 1960's. The earlier practice had been to soak for just a few days, but a well was left shut-in for over a month before anyone checked on it. The wellhead showed a pressure of well over 1000 psi. That's low for a producing well, but they had been expecting zero pressure. Since this is based on memory I hesitate to edit the main article but I hope this encourages someone else to go looking for details. Marzolian (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

message: This statement in the article is totally false wishful thinking:

What about the uprisings in Vietnam, Cuba, Algeria and the rest of colonial Africa, which did not lead to either to democracy or free-market economies? What about the freemarket China which is not a democracy? Can editors here name just one just former colonial country which had a peaceful transition to democracy and a free-market economy?
