Talk:T-34/Archive 2

message: Perret (1987:18) says "...it has seen action in Korea, Egypt, Syria, Vietnam, Cyprus, Angola and Somalia".  Egypt, Syria and Cyprus should be added to the bottom of T-34#Combat history, but I don't know the specific conflicts or sides T-34s were served with.  Can someone add more specific details?  —Michael Z. 2005-12-29 19:57 Z
::: Perret is wrong as often as he is right. Having said that, in Korea we've already covered the Democractic People's Republic of Korea forces in the 1950-53 conflict. Egypt employed T-34-85s in 1956 and 1967. Syria used a few in 1967 and 1973. Vietnam has been covered already in the article. Cyprus - never heard of this. As far as I knew both the Turkish and Greek forces on Cyprus used US and/or NATO style equipment. This is not my area of expertise but the photos I've seen, and the fact that both countries are long-time NATO members, would suggest this. 
In Angola, both Cuban and MPLA forces used the T-34. I think we've left out the People's Republic of China, which is a major oversight. Cuba employed a few T-34-85s in repulsing the Bay of Pigs invasion. There are probably other African users we are leaving out.  DMorpheus

replies: text: Perret is indeed often wrong, but the Cypriot army (after 1974 often described as the "National Guard" due to Turkish sensitivities), not part of NATO, operated a few (Jane's gave the number as "about ten") ex-Yugoslav T-34's. African users included Mali, Sudan, Mozambique, Algeria and Libya.--MWAK 09:55, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Embarrassing cheque

message: I remember this scam being featured on That's Life! in the late-70s/early-80s. It was a British TV show that dealt a lot with consumer rip-offs and I think there was an actual investigation into the company involved, so it appeared to be genuine at that point.

thread_title: Origin based in a true scam?

message: This is a variation of a true story. I worked for a company who processed financial transactions on behalf of Internet companies in the early 2000's. We received compliants about a company doing the following: Step 1: Offer the customer a free trial to a pornographic website. Use their credit card to verify their identity. Step 2: If the customer doesn't cancel membership within a set time period, bill them an annual membership fee. Step 3: if the customer complains, rather than credit the funds back to their credit cards, cut them a cheque with the above embarrassing name on it. Fortunately, the scheme did not work very well, as customers quickly figured out that they could simply call their credit card companies and reverse the charge under the pretense that their card was stolen, since at the time there was no way for the internet merchant to verify that the card was not stolen.   02:20, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Zeybeks

message: For some reason the Greeks are obsessed with claiming that they are of Greek origin. Trying to claim that Turks didn't beat during the Turkish Independence War, but sell out Greeks did. However, there were Greek guerrilla fighters, and none of them were called Zeybek or even Efe. On top of that, those guerrilla fighters all fought for Greece. And contributed to genocides and atrocities against Turks. So, this claim is clearly false. The sources used are also unreliable. For example, someone keeps adding just the author and a random page... So, you can't check anything. The same user reverted my edits. And one of the sources claimed that Zeybeks were Greek, because Greeks happened to be influenced by Turkish culture...
Lastly, all those false claims are made from random Greek IP addresses who only vandalized the pages, and never edited anything after that.

Talk:Actuarial reserves

message: Okay, Here's some stuff to enrich the article, althought it's alot and may never be done. I'll try to add it myself when i get the time but if anyone else wants to please do.
*Commisoners reserve valuation method (segmented and unitary reserves)
*Full preliminary term reserves. 
*Statuatory Reserves
*Tax reserves
*CGAAP/USGAAP reserves
*Provisions for adverse deviation
*Premium policy method reserves
*Interpolation of reserves
*Recursion equations for reserves
*Net level premium reserves - check. Except i should add way more.
I'm slowly editing this page. I'll relate the Loss random variable to the reserves when i get a chance. 
::Looks good!  -- Avi 23:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Stuff to be added

message: This is a really intractable article, written in an unnecessarily esoteric format. At its most basic form, a reserve is PV(Future Claims) - PV(Future Premiums). PV(Future Premiums) is in some cases adjusted such that PV(Future Claims)=PV(Future Premiums) at the inception of the liability, yielding no reserve at issue. In cases where no future premium is anticipated, the formula is simplified to PV(Future Claims).
I think complex issues eg. Reg XXX and the difference between stat and tax are too esoteric (and US centric) for an encyclopedic article, rather, this article should be modified to be more accessible.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.65.126 (talk) 02:01, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: For any one policy, perhaps, but 99.9926352752% of the time, actuaries will be dealing with aggregated reserves for a block of policies. One of the fundemental tenets of insurance per se is that while any one event may be random and unpredictable, a significant accumulation of those possible events can be estimated stochastically or probabalistically. Any one car accident is unpredictable; out of 250,000 drivers, the number of accidents (disregarding who has them) is much more predicatble.

thread_title: DYK

message: I'm trying to expand the section on the early history of the PKP, but at this point I'm just getting more and more confused. I've encountered 2 separate sources, with somewhat contradicting info. In Early Communism in Palestine, Fred Halliday, Journal of Palestine Studies, Vol. 7, No. 2 (Winter, 1978), pp. 162-169, the following picture is presented:
*MPS formed in 1919
*MPS becomes MPSI (what would have been the full name of MPSI?)
*MPSI becomes Jewish Communist Party in 1921
*Jewish Communist Party splits in 1922, PKP and CPP are formed
*PKP and CPP unite in 1923
In The Palestine Communist Party 1919 - 1948, Joel Beinen, MERIP Reports, No. 55 (Mar., 1977), pp. 3-17, doi:10.2307/3010830, there is a somewhat different picture. MPS gives birth to PKP in 1922 (no mention on MPSI or Jewish Communist Party). Minority leaves PKP at its founding congress, in 1923 there is reunification.
Would there have been any connection between the Jewish Communist Party in Palestine and the Jewish Communist Party in Russia at the same time? (for example sections of the same international structure?)
Any clarifications on this would be welcome. --Soman 19:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I added links to "hardpoint", "drop tank" and "unguided rocket", but the page on iron bombs is surprisingly small, considering the importance of the topic, and makes no mention of the existence of inert training muntions (perhaps unsurprising, considering some of the other things it doesn't cover).
