Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Saudi Arabia/Peer review

message: Proposed New preamble to the Saudi Arabia section:
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Arabic: المملكة العربية السعودية, al-Mamlaka al-ʻArabiyya as-Saʻūdiyya) is the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Jordan on the northwest, Iraq on the north and northeast, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates on the east, Oman on the southeast, and Yemen on the south, with the Persian Gulf to its northeast and the Red Sea to its west. It has an estimated population of 27.5 million, and its size is approximately 2,150,000 square km (830,000 square miles)
The Kingdom is sometimes called "The Land of The Two Holy Mosques" in reference to Mecca (Makkah) and Medina, the two holiest places in Islam. In English, it is most commonly referred to as Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom was founded by Abdul-Aziz bin Saud, whose efforts began in 1902 when he captured the Al-Saud’s ancestral home of Riyadh, and culminated in 1932 with the proclamation, and recognition of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the first time in history that this extensive area of the Arabian peninsula had been unified. 
Saudi Arabia, along with Russia, is one of the world’s largest petroleum exporter.  Petroleum exports represent 75% of the government’s revenue, though serious efforts are being made to diversify the economy. The Kingdom annually hosts the Haj, the pilgrimage to Mecca (Makkah), one of the five pillars of Islam. Between two to three million pilgrims participate each year.  Total GDP is approximately $450 billion, ranking it 27th in the world. The government is a monarchy, which is officially advised by a majlis (consultative assembly). The legal basis for the government is Islamic law (the Sharia)
------
Notes:
    I am particularly disturbed by the existing paragraph three.  I reviewed 10
    other countries:  USA, France, Chile, Libya, Myanmar, Japan, Malawi, India, New
    Zealand, and Russia.  NO other country has a preamble that addresses "human
    rights" deficiencies, nor the "welfare state" nature of the economy. (Yet there
    are these issue in all countries)
    Wikipedia stresses "neutrality", and there are substantial dollops of
    "Orientalism" in the existing preamble.
    As you can see from my bio, I am an American who lived in the Kingdom over a 25
    year period.  I recognize that I am one of only two Westerners involved in this
    project...still.... I feel I can make a substantial contribution.  It is not a
    question of "you" and "us".  I am an American, but that is not my primary identification.... 
    Your assistance in this matter is appreciated. Thanks

Talk:James Mortimer (chess player)

message: James Mortimer was a complex character with a very interesting life of which chess was only a minor part. Despite this, chess-playing forms the major focus of the article. To redress this, it would be worthwhile to expand on his relationship with Napoleon III and with Eugenie. It would also be good to add details of his personal life, such as his marriage to Lydia Cowell and details of his professional life such as his playwriting and his publishing activities. His proprietorship of the London Figaro and his relationship with Napoleon were actually much more significant than his chess career. -- Derek Ross | Talk 03:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Koreans in Malaysia

message: Like most ethnic group, Korean doesn't have a plural in English dictionary. In Merriam Webster, Korean, is defined as native of Korea. There's no entry of Koreans. Likewise, there's no plural of Indian(s), Chinese (Chineses) Japanese(Japaneses) etc. Therefore, to move Koreans in Malaysia to Korean in Malaysia, which is more grammatically safe and ethnically acceptable, shouldn't cost much or hurt anybody's feeling, I hope.

Does the foam change in R-value faster than conventional insulation? It would be interesting to see an environmental assessment of SIPs; but off the top of my head can't concrete and foam be recycled? - RoyBoy 800 00:13, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested photograph 

message: I'm not perfect, however I have NEVER heard of this term nor have I seen it used anywhere in ANY publication among the thousands I've read.  Of course, it could be somewhere, but my point is that it is OBSCURE to say the least.  Why is there an article with this title?  I've heard of internal ballistics, external ballistics, and terminal ballistics, however this term seems contrived.  Further, how does the transition from the internal to external differ from case to throat, external to terminal, etc.?  Whatever is 'unique and useful' in this article needs to be rolled into internal and external ballistics.  --I am Asamuel (talk) 22:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the US Military for one; from FM 6-40 Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for FIELD ARTILLERY MANUAL CANNON GUNNERY:  "Ballistics can be broken down into four areas: interior, transitional, exterior, and terminal.  It's not commonly used, but it does need to be separated out, as it isn't internal ballistics, because the projectile is out of the barrel, nor is it really external, as the projectile is still being acted upon by the propellant gases and accelerating.  It is certainly fairly obscure--a Google search brings up less than 500 hits, with this article being the top--but it is a recognized division of ballistics.  The problem is that very little study has been done on the topic.  Here's a few sample papers, though, to show that study has been done, and the term is used academically:   Near Noise Field of the Transitional Ballistics Phase,  The Transitional Ballistics, Aeroballistics and Jump Characteristics of a 25-MM-AP Training Projectile with Base Bleed (which reminds me, need to cover base bleed in external ballistics), Research of Transitional Ballistics Simulation.  scot (talk) 14:25, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Maxi single

message: As I understand things, maxi singles first came out in the mid-1970's at the request of house disc jockeys for dance clubs; they therefore are known in the trade as dance maxi singles.  Atlantic Recording Corporation, as one example, issued their maxi singles initially with a DM-series catalog number; the practice continues to this day with company-retained maxi singles, which bear a DMD-series number (short for Dance Maxi-single, Demo). - B.C.Schmerker 02:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: History

message: Actually, cassette maxi-singles were tried on the retail market from 1987 to 1991.  One of Atlantic Records' first was 2-86651 "Debbie Gibson - Shake Your Love," directly coordinated with the 0-86651 12" vinyl; if memory serves me correctly, the last from the same company was for "Jewel - Pieces of You" (I don't have the catalog number).  CD maxi-singles were introduced in 1988 and are still with us. - B.C.Schmerker 03:20, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Corrections to history

message: My understanding for the maxi singles was that it allowed deeper and thus more widely spaced grooves (resulting in a more stable track but also a higher dynamic range.)
