Talk:Congo Free State

message: The third paragraph of the lead mentions "deaths caused by the exploitation and the lack of immunity to new diseases introduced by contact with European colonists".  This is reffed to the </i>Oxford History of Africa</i>. I don't have access to that source, so I can't check if that's what it really says -- but the diseases that felled so many of the Africans were endemic, not introduced.  The population's vulnerability was due not to  European introduction, but to the chaos, malnutrition, and exhaustion resulting from the European regime. -- Elphion (talk) 20:51, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

message: "Mining by the company Union Minière du Haut Katanga" is a picture of 1922, not Congo Free State but Belgian Congo, it could be used in the Belgian Congo article, but should be removed here Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum (talk) 17:44, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the photos are most likely from ca 1922.  They appear in a 1922 periodical touting progress in the Katanga mining operation, so although undated, they are likely from shortly before publication.  The Commons description of the photos dates them to 1891, but I suspect that date comes from the text "Established in 1891" prominently displayed just below the banner of the periodical.  The links in the Commons description supporting the 1891 date are completely unhelpful. I've updated the Commons description accordingly. -- Elphion (talk) 18:25, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Bill of attainder

message: It's seemed to me that the 'Murrican usage of BofA has been generalized even further, to bills which (whether naming a person or not) are intended to apply specifically to a single individual.  Is that in fact the case, or is there some other constitutional prohibition against that that I'm forgetting?  --Baylink 22:26, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  American usage question 

message: I think this article contains a confusion between a bill of attainder and an act of attainder. It is probably best explained with a famous example. Parliament passed a bill of attainder on Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford in 1641.
At first Parliament tried to have Strafford impeached for treason. Only after that looked likely to fail did John Pym persuade Parliament drew up a bill of  attainder. Before the bill became law (an act), it had to be assented to by King Charles I. At first he refused to assent, but after Strafford advised him to do so, under pressure from Parliament and the London mobs Charles did. Strafford was executed, but for the rest of his life Charles felt guilty for assassinating to the bill and and said in his gallows speech just before he was executed in 1649 "That an unjust Sentence [on Strafford] that I suffered for to take effect, is punished now by an unjust Sentence upon me"..
If Charles had refused to assent to the bill, then it would not have been law and Strafford could not have been executed lawfully. This is why Charles carried the guilt of his assenting to it to his death. In the UK a monarch never refused to assent to any bill in the 20th century, however the President of the United States fairly often vetoes a bill passed by Congress, which is similar to a British monarch refusing assent as stops a Congressional Bill becoming an Act of Congress even if both houses have passed it. -- PBS (talk) 17:54, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

message: "Unlike the United States Constitution, there is no specific provision prohibiting the Commonwealth Government from passing bills of attainder."

message: The wording in this article is very diplorable. This artice is unclear what is a primate. I thought humans were primates but the wording here says different.

Would you address this the same way if this were an article on cats (ex: "Feline behavior, like lion behavior")? No it would simply be "Feline behavior"! This needs to be rephrased to prevent sounding like you're segerating humans from other primates like they don't belong in the group.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acdcguy91 (talk • contribs) 03:13, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Illegal prime

message: This article does not make a whole lot of sense to me. The only examples mentioned in the article is the DeCSS prime, and the general topic is poorly distinguished from that specific example. It would be very helpful if another example of an illegal prime was added. There are also some sentences that don't make a whole lot of sense mathematically. For example, the article says "The primality of a number is a fundamental property of number theory and is therefore not dependent on legal definitions of any particular jurisdiction." While this is factually true, there are many other fundamental properties in number theory and its unclear why the legal status (or lack thereof) of primality in particular is important. If Carmody had converted the program into a number that was the sum of two squares, what would change?

Talk:Gustav IV Adolf

message: Where in the world did the name "Gustav" come from for this monarch (and earlier swedish monarchs of the same name?)  In English, these rulers were traditionally known by the Latinized form "Gustavus."  In Swedish, as I understand it, they are "Gustaf" - certainly this is how the same name in the name of the current king is usually rendered.  "Gustav," as far as I can tell, appears only in wikipedia.  It is not the traditional English form, and it isn't the Swedish form.  Where did it come from?  Why do we use it?  This ought to be at either Gustavus IV Adolphus of Sweden or Gustaf IV Adolf of Sweden.  I'd tend towards the former. john k 21:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The traditional (though by no means universal) practice in Swedish is to use "Gustav" for deceased kings (3 Gustav, 3 Gustav Adolf, and 1 Karl Gustav), and "Gustaf" for living people and any royals that were never king. (The same goes for "Karl" vs. "Carl".) I don't know about English usage, though, which is of course what is interesting here. "Gustav IV Adolf" is what the Britannica uses, for what that's worth. See also Talk:Gustav, Prince of Vasa, Talk:Prince Gustav Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten#Article move, Talk:Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden/Archive 2#Requested moves. I would like to see a consistent policy on this. I don't care much what that policy would be (as I'm not a native English speaker, I feel a bit outside that discussion), but consistency would be nice. -- Jao 11:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's really such a practice?  Why on earth would there be a practice to change what you call someone after they die?  Personally, I think that monarchs before the 20th century, at least, should use the Latinized form. BTW, Swedish wikipedia has Gustaf V and Gustaf VI Adolf, but Gustav IV Adolf and Gustav III.  I would say that we keep the 20th century monarchs where they are, and  move the others to Gustavus IV Adolphus of Sweden, Gustavus I of Sweden, and so forth. john k 12:51, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Frank Zappa wrote a song about Andy Devine, appropriately titled "Andy". It can be found on the album "One Size Fits All".
Actually born Andrew Vabre Devine in Flagstaff, Arizona, he was raised in nearby Kingman, Arizona, the son of Irish-American hotel operator Thomas Devine and his wife Amy. Devine was an able athlete as a student and actually played semi-pro football under a phony name (Jeremiah Schwartz, often erroneously presumed to be his real name; Devine used the false name in order to remain eligible for college football.)
 
Andy Devine is very celebrated in Kingman were he grew up. And the Beale Hotel still stands there.
I'm very surprised that there's no mention of the tv show Andy's Gang here. What's worse, Andy's Gang only redirects to this biography page, with only a link to Froggy the Gremlin (hmmm....)
