Talk:Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre

message: Are financial transactions under $3,000 now referred to Austrac??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smurfing_%28crime%29
The above Wiki does not appear to be in agreeance with this one.
References to follow .... hopefully by the end of the week.
I have heard that government authorities in Australia are allegedly proposing to lower the reportable threshold to $1,000.
: Not that I'm aware of, austrac's cash dealer page still says $10k.  Actually the act calls for all "suspicious" transactions to be reported, no matter what amount, so depending on your definition of suspicious it could be anything.  -- Kevin Ryde 01:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Giosuè Carducci

message: "Odi barbare" is best rendered as "barbarian" and not "barbaric". That is the translation used by most English versions of Carducci and the one used by the Nobel Prize award speech.  I also removed the photo request tag since someone has put in a photo.Jeffmatt 13:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Carducci's third name was "Giuseppe", not "Michele". See the talk  here and the transciption of his birth act here.
The error, probably originated by confusion with the first name of Carducci's father, ("Michele"), spread from the page "Giosue Carducci" of the Wikipedia in italian to the equivalents pages of several others Wikipedias. Now I'll correct them all.--Giovangotango (talk) 10:02, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Anatole France

message: Hi, Gang of One,<BR>
When I came to the AF bio, it read in its entirety:
::Anatole France (April 16, 1844 – October 12, 1924) was the pen name of French author Jacques Anatole François Thibault. He was born in Paris, France, and died in Tours, Indre-et-Loire, France. In addition to being an atheist, Anatole was also documented to have a brain volume just two-thirds the normal size. In the 1920s France's writings were put on the Index of Forbidden Books of the Roman Catholic Church.
The argument you make is the same as the argument of the religious fanatics. Personally, I am tired of this Wikipedia uphill battle. Anything you write gets sooner or later perverted. If you wish, revert this bio to the form as it was before, it will save us both time we could use for more meaningful things than to argue on Jimbo's plantation.
Best Wishes,

message: Hey, does anyone have a source for the quote "For every monarchy overthrown the sky becomes less brilliant, because it loses a star. A republic is ugliness set free." I can't find it in any of his works that I have access to, and all my searches just turn up people posting the quote. So where is it from? It sticks out as not being in line with his other views. even if it turns out he wrote it doesn't make it representative of his work, as it seems at least out of context. If no one has a source for it, It should be removed, no? Really there are no citations on any of the quotes.

message: Perhaps something should be added to the article about his brain? After his death, it was found that Anatole France's brain was substantially smaller than expected, "the size of the brain of Homo erectus" . It has been mentioned in a number of scientific articles in the decades since (as it seemed to disprove the idea that brain size was correlated to intelligence). At one time, it was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the lightest brain recorded in a human. Esn (talk) 05:39, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Just a side note (and no, it's not for the article): Perse must have known of the 1902 Mount Pelée eruption, and no doubt he had been to the island both before and after the cataclysm. It's just across the strait from his home island. Although he was in France (boarding school) at the time it happened, the event - one of the most notorious volcanic eruptions in modern times - must have left a powerful imprint at the back of his mind.

Sources indicating 3000 BC(e.g.) seem quite suspect. For instance, they also cite it being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which it isn't. The Medes, according to wikipedia, anyway, aren't even known of until about 900 BC. Possibly this is due to confusion in regards to Christian dates by Muslim writers? I think 3000 years old seems to be a reasonable interpretation of what is meant, so that is what I will put in the edit. Hopefully, someone who knows a little more about this can check up on it.

*higher precision arithmetic (much harder to get arithmetic overflow or underflow)
*multiple-segment paths (and hence regions other than simply-connected ones)
