Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

edit

I'm not sure I follow you on Talk:Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, so I thought I would ask for clarification here. There's no question that the real economy is in very serious trouble indeed, and a major contributing factor is the enormously weakened commercial paper market.

Mumbai map

edit

Leopold's is on colaba causeway rd they've placed it somewhere on nathalal pirikh road. I think my dot is a little to the south (it is apartenbtly at the northen end of colaba causeway rd I've placed it in the middle) They've pulled the terminius position from google earth which is wrong as you can see when you zoom in further.Geni 00:02, 27 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I would but Vile Parle is rather a large area and other than the attack hit an underpass I don't know where it happened.Geni 02:44, 27 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Error on the Mumbai Bomb article

edit

Please correct the following: Sky News has reported that the terrorist "was speaking in Urdu in what was described as a Kashmiri accent" and NOT PAKISTANI. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Mumbai-Jewish-Centre-Under-Siege-In-India-Terror-Attacks-With-Link-To-Kashmir-Emerging/Article/200811415163321?f=rss - NapoleonARS

Iraq SOFA

edit

Hi. The removal of your material was completely on accident, I was just dumping some material from the other article and accidentially pasted over it without realizing it. The article is indeed very long, so the need for brevity you point out is understood.

WP:LEAD says any notable controversy should be noted though, and Iraqi concern is important and relevant given the volume and significance of the discussion that it generated in their country. I'd be happy to work out a version with you.

On November 27, 2008, the Iraqi Parliament ratified a Status of Forces Agreement with the United States, establishing that Coalition combat forces will withdraw from Iraqi cities by June 30, 2009, and will be completely out of Iraq by December 31, 2011, but allowing for further negotiation if the Iraqi Prime Minister believes Iraq is not stable enough. The pact forbids holding prisoners without criminal charges, and limits searches of homes and buildings.[1] Coalition forces and contractors will be subject to Iraqi law if they commit major and premeditated crimes while off-duty and off-base.[2][1] Some Iraqis protested the passing of the accord,[3] and an aide to Grand Ayatollah Ali Husseini al-Sistani expressed concern the ratified version of the pact would grant the occupiers immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts.[4] A referendum will be held in mid-2009, which may terminate the agreement and require Coalition forces to completely leave by the middle of 2010.[5] Parliament also passed another U.S.-Iraqi bilateral pact called the Strategic Framework Agreement, aimed at ensuring minority Sunni interests and constitutional rights.[6]

I added a bolded version briefly noting protests and what Iraq's spriritual leader has indicated. They seem especially relevant by the referendum information, given that Iraqi perception and opinion will determine the future of the agreement.--Nosfartu (talk) 16:16, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

The position of each of the respective groups in Iraq has been relatively stable, the Sadrists have been and are staying consistently opposed (now challenging the consitutionality) and Sistani has been noncommital and apprehensive. The political rhetoric is only more likely to pick up as the referendum draws closer, but waiting a few days for reactions seems reasonable.--Nosfartu (talk) 02:21, 1 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure exactly what you were asking, so this may be off-topic. It appears the Iraqi groups are opposed to the pact because they see it as acquiescing to the occupation, not placing enough effective restrictions on the coalition, and not fully restoring Iraqi sovereignty. Different Iraqi groups state this in different ways and cite different specific problems as examples, but many of them seem to be happy with having a referendum since they don't believe the pact will survive. The "anonymous U.S. officials and specialists who follow the war" may have been making the same point, I am not sure. Some of this may be bunk, that is why it would be better to attribute directly.--Nosfartu (talk) 18:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

cold fusion patent

edit

About Talk:Cold_fusion#Reliability_of_patent_authorship_for_purposes_of_to-do_item_1.3F, just pinging you so you remember to nag the patent authors about publishing the email somewhere so we can quote it :) --Enric Naval (talk) 02:09, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ah, I see that we already talked about patents months ago :-) It was archived here, I will re-read later to refresh my mind. (btw, congrats in finally getting a secondary source to mention the patents, now let's see if we can convince people to use New Energy Times as a source....) (btw also, it still needs a source for the 2008 Edison Patent Award? any luck with that?)
See my comment at the mediation. I look at the reverts that were done in Cold fusion and I see that you initally removed the whole rejection thing, but that later you made an edit where you added the specific patents and left in place what you had removed in the first diff. I'm taking that as evidence that you don't oppose the rejection being in the article as soon as it's clear that some CF patents do actually exist. You see, I have substantially expanded the patent rejection thing in the article without remembering that it was in the mediation. I hope that my mistake doesn't influence negatively the discussion in the mediation case, and that I haven't accidentally set off a conflict in the article. I have also proposed an alternative text for inserting the patent, could you take a look at it and say if you agree and propose changes and/or other versions? --Enric Naval (talk) 07:23, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
