When Fry-Cadbury withdrew its sponsorship in 1963, having made the decision to transfer its advertising budget to film commercials on the newly established television service Telefis Eireann, Fry-Cadbury sold the rights to RTE for the the sum of one pound allowing Radio Éireann to bow to popular demand and retain the serial as part of its regular programming.

Talk:Province of Pescara

message: This article talks about the province and the city interchangeably and it's unclear. The city is old, but the province named after it was created more recently. Before there was Pescara province, Abruzzo was divided into Abruzzo Citra and Abruzzo Ultra. The history should clearly distinguish the province from the city, and say what year the province was created. 2601:441:4900:A6E0:99EA:F645:B863:A0BE (talk) 14:17, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed the history sections reports the city history, not the province's as it should. I'm not editing on en.wiki since i dont know all the guidelines required, but to clarify the matter: the city its ancient, being founded by italic tribes before roman conquest, but the current day municipality was founded in 1811 under the Abruzzo Citeriore (or Citra in latin, now Province of Chieti). In 1927 the city was reunited with Castellammare Adriatico (previously, since medieval times part of Pescara city but given autonomy in 1807) and at the same time "promoted" to province capital, with the creation of the Province of Pescara. Abruzzo Citra, Ultra I and Ultra II were the historical names of the Abruzzo provinces under the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, wich were renamed Province of Chieti, Province of Teramo and Province of Aquila after italian unification. Hope to have clarified some points.--Saya χαῖρε 17:29, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:International Network to Promote the Rule of Law

message: Hi there,
First time user here....
INPROL is, like many of the organizations listed on Wiki, a legitimate project that is worth being described here. If not, why are the United Nations, USInstitute of Peace, etc. listed in Wiki? Not trying to be "smart" just trying to understand the distinction. I would not qualify it as blatantly advertising, because the membership of INPROL is very selective and the initiative is not for profit. Therefore, a very select few of Wiki's users will actually qualify for membership. To further disconnect the advertisement of INPROL, I have removed the original section on "membership" and focused on the core functions of INPROL, which will be expanded upon in time.
Any suggestions on how to edit this further are welcome.
Thanks,

Talk:Washington, Maine

message: The language of the history section is a little confusing. Describing "The Paint Mine" this way:  "'The Paint Mine' was discovered thousands of years ago in a cave, it contained large deposits of red and yellow ochre. It was thought to be used to cover the bodies of the dead and to bury artifacts,"  doesn't introduce it in a way that clearly explains what "The Paint Mine" is.  If no one objects, I'll copy and paste text from the Washington, ME website, which explains the feature more clearly and could be linked to the Wikipedia article on the Red Paint People: "One early item of interest in Washington's history was the 'paint mine'.  There was a large deposit of red and yellow ocher found in a cave, which may have been used by people who lived here three to five thousand years ago and who used large quantities of ocher, normally red, to cover both the bodies of the dead and the burial artifacts.  Archaeologists refer to these people as 'Red Paint People'.  The red panel at the hoist of the Official Town Flag refers to these people."

message: a few remarks. I corrected some (not all) spelling errors. However i find trouble in 1 case and have doubts in another. At language it says rikbaksta speak portuguese with "whites" archaic information that must have come from the rubberplanter missionairies as brazil is not white. I suppose it should just say "fellow brazilians" or "portuguese speakers". 
Likewise i doubt that the reference to reincarnation as poisonous snakes is not an overinterpretation.
I would actually guess they are only mentioned as an example after instigation of once again missionairies. The general idea may be, you'd become an animal hunted, and even hated by humans. Like what?.. well jaguar, snakes. "even poisinous snakes?" yes even those. At least thats how i think this became so explicit.77.251.188.67 (talk) 11:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

If you accept my assertion that about 2/3 of the money collected by estate tax is from previously untaxed capitial gains, and that these are largely gains of the wealthy, then greatly reducing taxes on the wealthy would appear to contradict, or at least be in fiscal conflict with, reducing taxes on the middle class, eg, if you need a certain amount of revenue, and you lower taxes on the wealthy, it is hard to also lower taxes on the middle class without large deficits or large cuts in spending.
