thread_title:  The sources 

message: This is NachtLink and a research associate and myself would like to correct several mistakes in this article... Roberto (robc) makes these specific notes:
There are several factual errors in the text and frequent misspellings of Italian words and names... 
- It's SAHARIANA 
- It's COMPAGNIA SAHARIANA "CUFRA" or DI CUFRA 
- Actually it's COMPAGNIA AUTO-AVIO-SAHARIANA "CUFRA", frequently shortened to AUTOSAHARIANA. 
- Plural is SAHARIANE 
- There were NO armoured cars, the first arrived in North Africa in 1942 (we know why there is this old tale of armoured cars at Kufra, but this is another story) 
- Col. Leo was the CO of the Air Force sector; the CO of the fort garrison was Capt. Colonna. 
- this is no "forerunner" of the famous "mid-war sahariane"... what does this mean? the "Cufra" kept on as a Compagnia Sahariana from at least 1933 to its destruction by enemy forces a couple weeks before the end of everything in Tunisia in 1943. 
Note Link to Further discussion: This might help to ratify my position as to the errors from the initial author's primary reference "Histoire de Guerre" Issue 30; November 2002 is actually fatally flawed in equipment, men and command determinant issues... and from the original author a closer scrutiny to the facts would bring to light the errors being proven of which I am bringing forth some corrections as this may finally shed light on the true and actual facts involved!

message: I know that there was a radar station there in 1979 manned by Soviet technicians (because I was in Kufra and met them in the street: they were incredibly hospitable and found beds for and fed about 8 strangers whom they had not expected)but I have no independent source.

replies: text: Well, this is a constant problem with content in other Wikipedias – it may be little, or often much, better than what we have, but is so poorly sourced as to be useless to us. In my opinion, our great strength is our insistence on complete and proper sourcing; the downside of that is that our pages may be less complete than the equivalent page in another project. I see that as an acceptable trade-off. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:18, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: We need their their content (at times, obviously the English Wikipedia is broader in scope with way more articles) with our sourcing.

Talk:Pearl and Hermes Atoll

message: Should the following articles be merged here?
*North Island (Hawaii)
*Little North Island
*Grass Island (Hawaii)
While I appreciate that this is a good article and we don't want to mess with that, the three articles proposed for merger constitute all of nine sentences of text. If they were merged I think that could actually be reduced to say these islands are small and rise barely 8 feet above sea level. Only one article has any images and at least one of those is already in use here. It appears there simply isn't much to say about these islands on an individual basis, so it would seem to make sense to have them all direct to this very informative parent article instead. Thoughts?

I modified Brad Hulls name out as a full time member per his request as a courtesy to the band. Brad has not been asked to be a full time member therefore it's important to him to respect the band and NOT be listed as a full time member. 
I will be more than willing to add Brad as a touring guitarist if the band ok's it. 
I'd also be happy to add the upcoming tour dates if the band ok's it to be public. 
If at a later date Brad is asked to be a full time member I'll be happy to update this page accordingly.

replies: text: I am not a doctor, but I was under the impression that AIDS never kills people directly, but rather slowly lowers the bodies immune system to the point where even a severe cold can mortally wound the individual. If I am wrong about this, please correct me, but that is my understanding of the disease thus far. Ubergenius 14:26, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Other subject, just a note, I made an edit: For his work on Sesame Street his character had been listed on the page as "Mr.Noodle, and Mr.Noodle's brother". This is incorrect, and likely a misinterpretation by someone who read the correct character name which is actually "Mr.Noodle's brother, Mr.Noodle." That does not mean two characters. If the original wp editor has not seen the show, it would be easy to misunderstand that description as being two characters he played. It is not. He played one character , the brother of Mr.Noodle, who is of course also called Mr.Noodle, therefore he is "Mr.Noodle's brother, Mr.Noodle". They actually go to great lengths to say that whole phrase just like that when he is on the show. Cheers, Richard 50.47.246.194 (talk) 20:51, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

message: He is included in a couple of LGBT categories as well as people self-identifying as alcoholics and yet the article does not mention him being gay or an alcoholic. Perhaps both facts are common knowledge but personally I have never heard of him and so when I stumbled upon this article it confused me.

thread_title:  Categories. 

message: The 2003 article/obituary on Jeter's sudden death doesn't say AIDS - it says "apparantly natural causes" .  it further notes his HIV positive status and that he had been "in good health".  "Natural Causes" as COD does not automatically become "died of AIDS" just because of previous HIV infection.  Nobody goes from "in good health" to "suddenly dead of AIDS".   Not even in Africa - there's a definite period of being "in bad health" before death occurs.  Wikipedia has excellent pages on the HIV subject.  I might also mention that in 2003, in America, and especially for the rich and famous, HIV treatment was available and effective.  AIDS deaths had become a rarity for the likes of Jeter in 03.  It was natural causes - which means they don't know of any clear cause of death (heart attack, stroke, bullet in the head - none evident) - sh*t happens.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qdiderot (talk • contribs) 03:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Sajida Al-Rishawi

message: "al-Qaida in Iraq is now known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)." -- Is this true? My understanding is that al-Qaeda and ISIL have some major differences. ISIL is a splinter group that originally broke off from the Iraqi branch of al-Qaeda and then picked up followers from neighboring countries. That doesn't mean that in Iraq, ISIL and al-Qaeda are the same thing, nor does it mean that al-Qaeda is completely out of Iraq now. This needs a citation and it should be reworded; even if it's technically correct, it's misleading and leaves readers confused about the differences between the two groups.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.209.205 (talk) 23:18, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
