Talk:List of companies of Saudi Arabia

message: What about Dubai?--Exander 04:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dubai? 

message: On a BBC program (YouTube) about Bin Talal, at minute [1:48] the narrator Kate Humble says:
::And this is the man. And he owns large chunks of all those companies
As she is saying this, the camera focuses on an image with at least the following company names and logos:  
* Time
* Kodak
* Paypal
* eBay
* Kadco
* CNN
* Al Arabi
* Swissotel
* Fairmont
* Fox Entertainment
* ESPN
* Ballast Nidam
* The Sun
* The Sunday Times
* HP
* Saks
So they are not Saudi companies, but definitely companies with Saudi ownership. According to a written article in the BBC, his funding began from the Royal company, and he owns a 590 million dollar stake in Citigroup, as well as holdings in an array of high-end and household names ranging from hotels, restaurants, real-estate portfolios, petrochemical, agriculture and healthcare companies and major stakes in the worlds of publishing, entertainment and social media. In an caption to an image in the same article from July 2, 2015, it is written that he co-owns the London Savoy hotel, re-opening it with Prince Charles in 2005. פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 05:55, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not clear what you're proposing here. Two of those firms have Kuru ownership as well; there's nothing notable about that. The Citibank position, while a lot of money, is .3% of the cap. The criteria for these lists has been "headquartered in XXX"; it would be impossible to list out every minority share of every publicly traded company. Kuru (talk) 11:57, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Seyðisfjörður

message: This article was created from source material from google.com, www.sfk.is, Lonely Planet Iceland and my own personal experience from visiting Seyðisfjörður. - dwstein
/////
After my experience in Seyðisfjörður, 4 mo. during the summer of 2008 I completely rewrote the article based on information from locals, including the mayor, elderly townspeople and politicians, as well as my own observations. Some of the items I added were the Mt. Beowoulfe, puffins, ruins, Vestdalseyri, church transport, urban fabric, various services in town, telecommunications museum, Lunga, Dieter Roth, hiking path, 25 waterfalls, skiing area, town settlement, telecommunications (1906) and dam (1913) history, WW2 history, landing strip, El Grillo, slip and more. Specific references need to be added, if someone has access to books that these are to be found in, it would be much appreciated. The current mayor glanced over the material I added and sees it to be correct. Veffari (talk) 04:25, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Great article. The article contained a rendering of the name of Mt. Bjólfur as 'Eng. Beowolfe'. This looks odd. Bjólfur is named after an early settler of Iceland of the same name, I believe; either way, Bjólfur is a personal name cognate with the Old English name Beowulf, known from the poem of that name and one or two other sources. If nothing else, the form 'Beow(o)ulfe' used in the article needs correcting to 'Beowulf'. I didn't think it was very relevant information, though, so I'm removing it for now.

message: I did put an artical about interesting points in Seydisfjordur few days ago but it has been whiped out? How come? In the Icelandic side they say it's because they found the same article on east.is . The reason is that I wrote the aricle, I'm therefor the author and I did put it here at Wikipedia and to east.is. I want to have the article here on Wicipedia if it's possible, how do I do it? How do I prove I'm the author and give the permission to Wikipedia to use the article? Please let me know what to do.

thread_title: font order changed

message: This template is used on the Medieval Unicode Font Initiative page, but none of the characters are displaying in my browser. If I install the Junicode font, some of them display, but not all of them. Without the Junicode font installed, none of them do.
I'm under the impression that Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector is used to serve the Junicode font when it is not installed on the local system, but this does not seem to be happening.
Also, what needs to be done to display all the characters? Even when the font is installed on my local system, not all of the characters display properly. I would like to use the insular characters in text that is transcribed from old Irish manuscripts, so the ss02 character set. In the documentation it says "ss02 on, language set to Irish". So I tried to use the 'lang="Irish"' setting.
For instance:
It doesn't seem to do anything.
For instance, the insular t with dot above renders as the replacement question mark. On the MUFI website, it says that it is "00F094 LATIN SMALL LETTER INSULAR T WITH DOT ABOVE". But entering  in the text does not work - . It also just produces the question mark. I can see this character in the Irish_text.pdf included with the Junicode documentation, but it appears that the regular t with the dot above was entered in the text and then the ss02 setting switches it to the insular t. I can't figure out how to get this to happen in Mediawiki. Redheadkelly (talk) 23:21, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Yet another article where the comprehensibility of the English is sadly lacking.  Whoever undertakes to compose articles of this kind must be able to demonstrate much greater competence in English.  Is the article perhaps the outcome of a 'translation' from German?  If so, could a reference to the original be posted? Though the material falls outside of the precise period of my historical knowledge, as a fluent French and German-speaker I might attempt an in-depth rewrite, if I knew of the material on which this English article is based.User:86.133.101.45 18:39, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Quidditch World Cup

message: 1473 + 421 = 1894, not 1994.  And the four-year mark is correct, at least at the time when Harry attends the World Cup.  Many people attempt to explain the year problems by suggesting that the World Cup may have initially been a yearly event, but was eventually changed to every four years.  However, I did the math, and it doesn't work - it ends up with 388.6667 cups using the 1-year system and 33.3333 cups using the 4-year system.  
I've come up with two possible explanations.
* Theory A: There were 389 Cups done yearly before the switch to a four-year system, then 33 cups until 1994, with the Cup skipping one year at some point due to some historical event.
* Theory B: There were more than 389 cups on the yearly system, and a longer hiatus (or several of them).  Of course, for every added year of Quidditch on the yearly system, three more years without Quidditch are required for the math to work.
Personally, I'm a fan of the following theory: 389 yearly Cups, then the four-year system for 20 Cups, then a delayed Cup in 1945 (with the war and all), played instead in 1946, then 12 more Cups to get us to 1994.
----
It should had rather been the year of 306, of which the world cup was launched, exactly 1688 (442nd World Cup, once per four years, gives you a timespan of 1688 years) years before 1994, the year of the World Cup.
----
- I am certain this page has errors: 
If, instead of holding it every four years, you hold it every year, the maths DO hold up; counting the year 1473 as a world cup year, add 421 years and you have 1994, which is when the 422nd cup happened. 
Some verification of the informations is required, I believe (especially since Quidditch did not even exist 1688 years ago), but I can't seem to find my Goblet of Fire, or Quidditch Through the Ages to check.

I might do some rewriting; for example, I would not quite say that "ASH meets in New York City on the first Wednesday of every month," as the "ASH Wednesday" dinners are not formal meetings. Nor do I think our article needs to get into the details of the BSI's and ASH's membership criteria; on the other hand, it would be worth mentioning that there are BSI events, other than the annual dinner, that are open to all interested Sherlockians, not just to the invested BSIs. The publications issued by the BSI, including the manuscript series, warrant attention.
