My mother's first child was born in Wimborne Minster, Dorset and died there on 28/3/42 I would like to find out where his grave is, or at least the church/cemetary — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.163.139 ( talk) 11:45, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
I was reading the Wikipedia article on Cheating in personal relationships. I noticed that it was mostly opinions, because there were so many citation needed tags. So, I weeded out some of the opinions and left with only a few sentences. Plus, the section seemed to be very focused on consensual relationships for individuals in the relationship. I am thinking of an arranged marriage relationship, planned out by the parents, in order to secure the family wealth. In such a case, that would presumably be determined by what the two families/clans want to gain out of the relationship of a couple rather than merely the consensus of two individuals. For instance, Family A has a bride, and Family B has a bridegroom. Family B collects dowry from Family A, and Family A collects bride price from Family B. The bride and groom's marriage is solemnized, and the couple now live together. Nevertheless, the article - with the opinions I removed - does give insight on why some people consider any violation of the agreed-upon rules of a relationship to be "cheating", including girlfriend/boyfriend relationships. Apparently, people can cheat with or without being in a formalized marriage. The only problem that I find is that if a partner in the relationship does not really disclose any expectations of the relationship and only assumes a lifelong commitment out of his/her partner due to familial habit and cultural beliefs on courtship (i.e. maybe in a person's culture, the husband and wife are forbidden to divorce, so that puts a lot of pressure on finding the right partner the first time, or at least a lot of commitment to make a failing marriage to not obtain a divorce), then would that still be considered cheating on that person's partner's part, assuming that the person's partner comes from different cultural background?

I need to know about how to convert a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 to a 6x6 with 49" Interco Irok tires, ready for Icelandic glacier, for information purposes only.
Other options to install: Separate cargo bed, backup camera integrated into the rear-view mirror, subwoofer enclosure mounted behind the back seats, large GPS, PTO-driven winch, large fender flares, lightbar on the tailgate with integrated brake light, overhead screen for DVD, equalizer.
Please respond to my question. -- Kiel457 ( talk) 14:32, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
How do I find information about importing a vehicle on a Kazakhstani government website? -- Kiel457 ( talk) 15:16, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
I watched some videos on the Internet. While I searching a burnout of the Infiniti FX, I saw an Infiniti FX35 with 1993-2012 Kazakhstani license plates. The rear plate is square sized. Is it imported from the United States as used vehicle or not?
Please answer my question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiel457 ( talk • contribs) 15:32, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
Someone from the phone company who sought to sell a DSL line remarked to me that fewer and fewer homes in my (US) town still have wired-in land line phone service. I know they became more common through the 20th century, and have been in decline since the advent of celphones. I'm told that young college grads just use their cell, and I can see that people sharing an apartment might not want to have to divide up long distance charges every month. Someone said they never answer the land line, since it is probably someone wanting a donation or a wrong number or a telemarketer. They just use the landline to call their cel when it is misplaced. Is there a chart showing the declining percentage of US homes with land-line phone service in recent years? I'm really interested in wired-in landlines, rather than voice over internet or phone service bundled with cable tv and internet. Are there US towns which once had land-line phone service , but the phone company found it unprofitable to maintain a network with too few subscribers and shut it down, leaving only celphones and bundled internet-cable-phone service? Thanks. Edison ( talk) 16:55, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
I need to know about what's the main entry seaport for the vehicles coming to Kazakhstan?
There are lots of American vehicles, heavy trucks and cars in Kazakhstan. Are they imported by importer companies, natural person or other?

A series of side tracks has led me to do some work on Alec Reed Academy, a school in Northolt (a suburb of west London). I'm always curious about who or what schools are named after, and school's original name was Walford Secondary School. Walford doesn't seem to be a place in Northolt, and the only other associated Walford seems to be Launcelot Charles Walford who was Rector of Northolt between 1906 and 1917. Aside from writing some devotional texts, I can't find anything notable about him that was cause a secular council school to be named after him. Any ideas would be most welcome.

Somebody please specify the meaning of "WKPD"? Sure isn't the one given in the main namespace, and the Reference Desk (or WP) namespace explicitly has no such entry as of current (I used both search boxes).
I mean "WKPD" as used here.

Sorry for crying and I'm not sure this is the right page, either, but after a million whiles I just got to vent this and hope for something to finally get unstuck.
I've been contributing to Wikipedia in multiple languages for a number of years I've lost track of, but every time I split a paragraph or insert a headline that FSCKING compare algorithm will show the unchanged second part of the unchanged paragraph as removed and added. I've complained about this a number of times, too.
Which goes to cause anybody revising every change of that kind to have to prune out the text and do their own mechanical compare, or else painstakingly read along word by word, for the whole lengthy paragraph, just to find out that truly nothing has been changed.
See what I mean by this example, one of just so many too many.
Is ANYBODY at WPF EVER going to do any old something about that COMPLETELY senseless and time-wasting annoyance?
Maybe I just didn't take the matter to the right place (I thought places such as the Village Pump were right). If all else fails, where in the world would I have to feed this where somebody MIGHT be interested in even commenting on the matter?
HTH, finally. What's that (though I think erroneous) saying, hope dies last?
Thanks out to any and everyone bothering or caring.

Probably the incorrect place to ask this, but it's worth a try. The item at the top of the page, "Talk: You have new messages" is normally highlighted in orange only when there actually is a new message. Which there isn't. But it's highlighted now. This oddity only started within the past few hours, near as I can recall. Any idea what's up with that? ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:47, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
