Talk:Ankawa

message: I think while there is a lot of confusion in Iraq, Assyrians still count as minority and worthy balance in Ankawa.  In specific, whatever effort they make in pleasing Kurdish region's officials will amplify ten times.  For every ten gesture of good will Assyrian master in keeping their land and town, Kurds will learn one gesture of good will to help the Kurd under the Arab majority (or the lousy neighbor to the North).
All in all Assyrians by pleasing picky Kurdish officials are actually making Kurds aware of the shared weakness. Both Kurds and Assyrians are under mercy  vis-a-vis Arab conflict.  
More important is the effect on Arabic Baghdad Cafes. If Kurds learn to restrain more in dealing with Assyrians, perhaps Arabs will also learn to restrain more their militancy.  There will be a little precedence on their own territory. Perhaps all will be more masters of themselves.
As a minority though I firmly believe it all starts from the little pebble that Armenian or Assyrians do. (and of course the realization that the majority are as always clueless about the most important thing ... getting along with real issues.)

message: Maple leaf.  Every time, maple leaf.  Try as I might, I can't see two faces in the Canadian flag as illustrated in the article with the caption above.
This is a subjective perceptual thing, I realise.  It's quite possible that this is because I've never been shown the shape as two faces: it's possible that had no-one ever pointed out the faces/vase shift to me I would have gone through life only ever seeing faces or a vase in that original image.  If we're going to use the Canadian flag as an example of this, might it be a good idea to include another version with the faces highlighted?  I can't be the only one who just can't see it - and if it's to be made such a prominent example then it needs to be made widely apparent.  Either that, or I'd suggest another example be used. - Coldwind487 (talk) 04:51, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Grand Prix (Magic: The Gathering)

message: I'm not a fan of the term "Grands Prix". Wizards of the Coast doesn't use this form itself, preferring just using "Grand Prix" to refer to both singular and plural events. (See, for instance, the first sentence of , "Grand Prix are easily the biggest open events the DCI offers.") I think I'd prefer to keep it as "Grand Prix", and think a construction like "Grand Prix tournaments" would be the least awkward. As it's a kind of a brand name, perhaps it should have the adjective-like use throughout? --PeterCooperJr (talk) 17:03, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I just looked it up at Merriam Webster and the correct plural is "Grand Prix" or even "Grands Prix". So while using "Grand Prix" as plural might seem a bit awkward because it is unusual it is right. "Grand Prix tournaments" is a bit clunkier but I think there is no fault to this formulation, either. The only phrase which should not be used (and I have employed it often myself) is "Grand Prixs" because that is just plain wrong. OdinFK (talk) 20:13, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

message: It would be nice to have more accurate sources on population figures. I have provided the figures from the Central Statistical Agency on Injibara/Kosober myself, but as someone having lived in Injibara for the last 5 years, I know that these figures are ridiculously low. By my conservative estimate, modern Injibara has at least 20,000 inhabitants in 2006. The inmates of the zonal prison alone would make up 10 % percent of the cited population, not to talk of the countless students of the two colleges, the many policemen stationed there, and the hundreds of government workers of the Zonal and Woreda administration, all with their families...

message: Bozidar Vukovic went to Venice and founded the Serbian Venetian Printing Press. It had continued to function for some two centuries. 
It is POV and non-explained to constantly remove every reference to Bozidar of Vece as a Serb; same as going to Stefan Nemanja or Saint Sava and removing them all. He was a member of the Greco-Serb brotherhood, a nobleman who had, among the first, and the first in Venice, printed religious service books for the Serbian Orthodox Church. When the first major anti-Ottoman uprising had arisen in Banat in 1594, in parallel and connections to the uprisings and Orthodox Serb movements in Herzegovina, Montenegro and Metohija (which were all coordinated in Venice by Vukovic as a wealthy man and the Serbs' de facto ambassador to the Western world), Bozidar Vukovic had negotiated for the rights of the Serbs, failing though to prevent the burning of Saint Sava's remains at Vračar which had occurred as retribution.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.208.200.81 (talk) 15:17, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
