Is it true that since the Eisenhower administration, the US debt has shrunk during every Democratic administration, and increased during every Republican administration? If so, how can I verify this? 67.169.50.95 ( talk) 04:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I am well aware that Japan has always desired a permanent seat on the UN security council. I am aware that they have in the past worked with the G4 group of nations to try and obtain seats, however information from their mission and foreign service leads me to believe that while they still intend to cooperate with the G4 nations, they are working on a plan of their own. What nations would this plan include or geographical regions? Also, what is the relation of the G4 in the UN today? 72.87.132.142 ( talk) 04:27, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Recently found online at ibamuseum a 1898 photo "Homagem ao Imperador D. Pedro II do Brasil pelos Indios do Alto Rio Xingú". Photographer: Sylvester A. Taylor. Indios looking at a picture in the Royal Palace. I have not been able to find anything on this Sylvester A. Taylor, has anybody any idea where anything on him might be?-- Radh ( talk) 09:44, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
The 1970s Village Cry, a Swiss avant-garde photo journal, did a Brion Gysin number, publishing a photo of an old male Slave in chains, supposedly from a Slave Market in 1950s Atlas mountains, Maroc. It may be a hoax, but looked pretty real. Has anybody ever seen this mag or the photo? I have been looking at some books (old RE/Search stuff...) and the web, but never been able to find it-- Radh ( talk) 10:04, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to know about history of village Gurmukh Singhwala in Punjab, Pakistan.Gurmukh Singh my great great grandfather, who lost his life in the battle of saragarhi is said to own it. I'll be obliged if you could send me some facts or pictures of him and the village. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.134.215.216 ( talk) 12:13, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I came across Biblioteca Reale, which was listed by a bot at WP:SCV. Currently the article consists of a very short sentence followed by a long quote from [3] ... not really ideal. I looked for information on Google, but found very little. I am sure that there is information to be found in print, but I am not certain where to look. Any suggestions? I have access to a very large University library, so I could probably get any books mentioned. -- Iamunknown 15:32, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
hello 1) Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I'm from a developed country, Egypt, and I know you're knowledgeable.
I want to help with Wikipedia but how can I?
I want to donate money to Wikipedia but less than $50 -- can I pay in a bank instead of by visa?
2) When did the phrase "electronic publishing" begin to be used? Of what materials can we say they are electronic pub? Do we call microfilms or microfish electronic publishing? Did electronic publishing begin with the Internet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.139.145.200 ( talk) 19:36, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
what's the difference between fencing and swordsmanship? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.27.142.164 ( talk) 19:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
This article says he was a white nationalist, anti-Semitic, and above all homosexual. Why do people have to say that he's a Nazi just because he was gay? It seems unfair, and homophobic.-- Holy Roman Empire ( talk) 20:44, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Do you know anything about the Guardian? If not, let me assure you that it is completely against their editorial policy to say that someone is a Nazi because they are homosexual. Jorg Haider is referred to as a Nazi because that, quite subjectively, was what he was: an unrepetent apologiser for the Third Reich. Bringing up his apparent homosexuality is important because it serves to point out the hypocrisy that is so deeply ingrained within Fascists. Haider consistantly had kind words to say about the Nazi party, while, under its own rules, he would have been sent to the Concentration Camps for being a sodomite. The Guardian makes it its duty to point out examples of such hypocritic cowardly scum-like behaviour from members of the far right. 218.48.66.96 ( talk) 08:55, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I could n·t care less and if it makes you feel better to call him Adolf go ahead, but there are real nazis around and they are still very different from Haider. Haider had nice stupid words to say about the old nazis, but he was no neonazi politician for god·s sake. How many communists and gypsies and foreigners had he murdered or even interned in prisons without trial? Here on w. it is unfair and verboten to call Weather communist, so it might be fair to say that not every "far- right person" is per se fascist scum. And Haider was not even that far to the right in his politics. -- Radh ( talk) 21:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
While working just now, I found a reproduction of the famous Ulster County Gazette, but don't know which reprint edition it is. Printed on a soft paper, this has italic "Ulster County Gazette", uses both ſ and s in the middle of words, has a publication notice of "Publiſhed at KINGSTON, (Ulster County,) etc.", and (as far as I can see) no copyright notice. Can anyone tell me when this was printed, or where I can find a site listing these editions? I found a New York Times article from 1904 discussing various reprints, but none of the varieties described by the author seem to fit this exactly. Aside from the statistical improbability of this being a third copy of the original, I know it's a reprint because of various textual variants noted by various websites.
