I am a student at a graduate school that is fairly prominent. I wanted to describe my personal experience within the department and how it functions generally but I have to name people in the department (such as the administration). I am worried about defamation laws. I know it's against the law if it is untrue but if it is true but also opinion because it is based on my personal interpretation of my experiences is this still defamation (because it is objective and true in virtue of my actual experience but close to gossip because it is also my view of the events). I don't want to get sued. Please help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.70.142 ( talk) 02:07, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I am wondering if ants suffer from flatulance? I do it seems like a silly question but is in great debate between a group of people. 123.3.173.86 ( talk) 11:10, 3 June 2010 (UTC) I have given the question its own header (and spell-check) Matt Deres ( talk) 13:31, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
This is the best question I have ever read, thanks. hotclaws 11:37, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedians, I have a question that concerns military aircraft refuelling from tanker aircraft.
I know that in many situations, when performing such an operation, the tanker aircraft will bank to one side (but not by much), so that, seen from above, their flightpath becomes a very large circle. There are of course situations where tankers fly straight as well, but from my understanding, the above is more often the best solution. What I mean to ask is this: To maintain a steady, uninterrupted bank of this kind, does the pilot make use of any autopilot instrument that is not normally found aboard a 707/similar aircraft, or do they in fact only maintain this bank by keeping a vigilant eye on the HSI, while their Altitude is set by the autopilot? I've flightsimmed for a decade, and I know of no instrument in civillian aircraft that will reliably bank the aircraft in this fashion.
Thank you in advance! :) 88.90.16.232 ( talk) 13:59, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

I have carved wooden statue, approx 100 years old of an old man with one foot on a tiger, holding a child/small man who in turn is holding a fish. From his headgear an antiques expert tells me that he is one of three guardians of the gates of hell. Who is he?

on this currency chart of dollars verses pound, I am completely confused as to how to read it. The numbers on the right hand side are the number of dollars it would take to purchase 1 pound? Is that right? Maybe someone can answer a question which will make it more clear to me. According to the chart the 52 week range was (rounding down) 1.4 to 1.7. Say I took a dollar and converted it to a pound when it was at 1.4 and then converted the pound back when it was at 1.7, do I lose or gain money? By my figuring I would gain money. Am I right?-- 98.116.23.226 ( talk) 18:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello! I am an American who has an iPhone, and I therefore use AT&T. I am moving to Istanbul this September, and was wondering how I could go about switching my iPhone carrier to a Turkish one (since AT&T is nonexistent in Turkey). Thank You! - Vikramkr ( talk) 19:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the help! Indeed, I absolutely do not want to be roaming in Turkey for a year; I want to switch to the iPhone's Turkish carrier. Does anyone happen to know the name of the Turkish carrier? - Vikramkr ( talk) 19:45, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
