Talk:Robert Doornbos

message: Does anyone know what the deal is with Doornbos being counted as a Monaco national for the 2005 F1 season? I see it's referenced to the F1 website, but I can't see any reference to it anywhere else on the web. He was definitely counted as Dutch at the time. Any idea what's going on?

Talk:Wall $treet Week

message: Does anybody have a list of the members of the Wall Street Week Hall Of Fame?  If so, could you please post in the article.  Ones that I remember are Meryl Rukeyser, Ralph Acampora, and Ed Brown.
I can't find a complete list- but to the above you can add Martin Zweig, Laszlo Birinyi Jr. Abbey Joseph Cohen, Frank Cappiello, Sir John Templeton, Peter Lynch, and Bob Farrell. 
I am attempting to verify that the Elves Index was dropped from the program after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the grounds that world events made short term forecasting unreliable.
Also I am interesting if anyone knows the exact reason why Robert Nurock left the show (causing the show to change to the Elves Index).  Different reasons are cited, all relating to some disagreement he had with Mr. Rukeyser.
Are there any further pointers to which Donald Swartz composed "TWX in 12 bars" ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.114.180 (talk) 21:23, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Field agent and NOC 

message: I edited the last sentence, which says that the FBI is a well known agency which deploys field agents. I am delteing this, because the FBI is not involved in any spy activity, which this article falls under. The FBI does not employ spies of any kind. Their Special Agents may be under cover, but this does not make them a spy, since they only work undercover on criminal cases. Spies, on the other hand, only obtain information or work in terrorism or counter terrorism activities. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, but basically FBI Special Agent--Operates on American Soil or as a Liason to another agency. Never works undercover in another country, without that countries approval and oversight. A spy howver operates free from control of any other agency or government, and works to obtain information, assasinate people, etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.126.168.158 (talk) 19:01, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

message: "Emperor Charles VI had it raised in 1724-1725".
To "raise" means to "elevate" i.e. make something higher.
My guess is that you mean "razed" i.e he had it knocked down ("to raze something to the ground" = to knock it all down, to demolish it. Slovak: strhnúť).  Is that what you mean?

Talk:Eritrean War of Independence

message: People in the then province of Eritrea were citizens of Ethiopia during the war of independence. What better language can be used to improve lines such as "... drive the Ethiopians out of Eritrea"? Unless legitimate argument can be made that a significant number of people in the region were aligned with Eritrea and not Ethiopia for the duration of the war..
On a related note, was ELF and EPLF fighting the regimes in Ethiopia or Ethiopia the nation? This confusion permeates this article. "Derg managed to repulse the Somalian incursion..." is an example of this.

thread_title:  Lead 

message: Is it really accurate to have Cuba listed as an active participant in this war? According to most sources, Cuba actually declined to intervene in support of Ethiopia, insisting that the Eritrean issue was an internal affair of Ethiopia. In addition, it would be weird if Cuba made a u-turn in this conflict, which could badly harm its image in Africa and its reliability in the eyes of its allies. Indeed Cuba was an ally of Mengistu, and Cuba did involve themselves in the Ogaden War on the side of Ethiopia. But there seems to be limited evidence of direct involvement in Eritrea. Yes, there are some sources that claim they were indeed involved, most of which seems to be based on US government sources, but there are plenty of sources claiming exactly the opposite, which also seems to be more credible. --Te og kaker (talk) 08:52, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

message: I am moving the page to "Hanish Islands conflict" as there are no reliable source returned by a Google search on ["Hanish Islands crisis" -wikipedia] (without wikipidia in the search the return says 196 pages returned, but going to page 3 of those returned shows only 18 pages returned) and there are a few for ["Hanish Islands conflict"].  Unschool's comment about islands or Islands is debatable because the sources use both (as they do for the word conflict). However two reliable sources returned for "Hanish Islands conflict" capitalised  that way -- a book and a UN paper (
Lyda Favali, Roy Pateman Blood, Land, and Sex  p.  151; and United Nations Capital Development Fund. There is a further book on the conflict (Taylor & Francis Group  Africa South of the Sahara 2004, p. 392) that uses the capitalisation  Hanish islands so the usage is not clear cut. Further searches for "Hanish Islands" in Google Scholar and Google Books return more hits of "Hanish Islands" that "Hanish islands". --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 09:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

message: McGhee was arrested when smuggling 40,000 lbs of marijuana into North Carolina from Colombia in 1982. He has previously been busted for smuggling of cocaine into Louisiana. After pleading guilty, McGhee received a five-year suspended prison sentence, a fine of $15,000, and was ordered to set up an anti-drugs foundation, which he named the Make A Difference Foundation.
: This factoid seems to have come from a Motley Crue fan site.  Is there a reliable source for this arrest?  the factoid is also mirrired here but again it's not clear where this foundation came from.
