Why is Anatoly Fomenko's New Chronology falsely considered pseudohistory if it's backed by solid scientific and mathematical data? Johndoe48 ( talk) 00:01, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
That's because the trace of corruption of manuscripts was destroyed. 199.119.235.217 ( talk) 00:30, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
The article on a Wilfrid Thomas who seems to have married a Swedish dancer called Marga... is full of information about Wilfred Thomas (broadcaster) who married an English dancer called Margo... you can check this quickly at state library of NSW under Margo Thomas — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.163.6.74 ( talk) 03:10, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
When Peter the Great was abroad in Europe, who governed in his place? 2602:306:C541:CC60:852A:86F6:9EC2:1BCF ( talk) 05:39, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
I will be glad to provide more information on this. I will go back to the page & try to make the corrections of my own, Kline was dead-set against President Obama's Education Reform plan -which he wrote in the first 3 1/2 years of office & presented to Congress & was of course refused. He then took it to the individual states & 10 took him up on his offer. John Kline said of such plan, that teachers would strike!!
Please advise me as to what to do to correct this grievous error! President Obama should go down in history for this one - the good side & not the bad! Is it perfect? NO, but a site better than "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND"! This must be corrected & give the President his dues & not John Kline, who will of course sit back & take all the credit! — Preceding unsigned comment added by America Jane ( talk • contribs) 08:06, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Firstly, for what its' worth, I ask this question in good faith, and hope I'm not accused of trolling. I am NOT assuming what the answer is likely to be; it's an open question. Neither am I making any moral statements of any sort.
My question is: from what we know, does the percentage of individuals who are pedophiles vary significantly between countries, religions, or cultures?
I am specifically asking about pedophilic orientation - i.e. the number per capita who have intense and recurrent sexual urges towards and fantasies about prepubescent children, whether or not they've acted on them. (I.e. those with the paraphilia or pedophilia)
I am NOT asking about the rate of child molestation - (this would likely vary greatly, I assume, based, to give an obvious example, on the likely ramifications for the molester, which can vary dramatically between jurisdictions).
I know this question may be a tad difficult to answer - we're not mind-readers, after all, and I'm not suggesting hooking random innocent men up to Penile plethysmographs. But can anyone source some expert answers, or at least hypotheses, to this question? 101.160.63.123 ( talk) 13:23, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
These pictures show jesters/fools/etc. and they carry an accessory which looks like an very old-fashiened pair of glasses. The German expression ist "Narrenbrille" (fool's glasses), a term which can be found in the literature and which is used in idioms.

I think I'd call that "peeping", wikt:peep#Etymology_2. You could also ask at WP:RDL. 50.0.205.75 ( talk) 01:25, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
In Japan in the 1870's, what were the important national and local government institutions, and how was the country administratively divided? 2602:306:C541:CC60:852A:86F6:9EC2:1BCF ( talk) 17:05, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
After he became leader of the Central African Republic, what ministerial portfolios did Bokassa have, and when did he have them? 2602:306:C541:CC60:852A:86F6:9EC2:1BCF ( talk) 20:16, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
