en:Wildlife of Bahrain

edit

(Net support = 6; Against = 20%) (Group 1)

The wildlife of the archipelago of Bahrain, is more varied than might be expected of this small group of islands in the Persian Gulf. Apart from a strip of the north and west of the main island, where crops are grown with irrigation, the land is arid. With a very hot dry summer, a mild winter, and brackish groundwater, the plants need adaptations in order to survive. Nevertheless, 196 species of higher plant have been recorded here, as well as about seventeen species of terrestrial mammals, many birds and reptiles, and many migratory birds visit the islands in autumn and spring.

Immaterial labor is a Marxist framework to describe how value is produced from affective and cognitive activities, which, in various ways, are commodified in capitalist economies.

The little Danes experiment was a 1951 Danish operation where 22 Greenlandic Inuit children were sent to Danish foster families in an attempt to re-educate them as "little Danes". While the children were all supposed to be orphans, most were not. Six children were adopted while in Denmark, and sixteen returned to Greenland, only to be placed in Danish-speaking orphanages and never live with their families again. Half of the children experienced mental health disturbances, and half of them died in young adulthood. The government of Denmark officially apologised in 2020, after several years of demands from Greenlandic officials.

Kharayeb (Arabic: الخرايب) is a historic town in the Sidon District in the South Governorate, Lebanon. The town is 77 km (48 mi) south of Beirut, and stands at an average altitude of 190 m (620 ft) above sea level. The town boasts a rich historical legacy, with archaeological excavations revealing a complex settlement history spanning from Prehistory to the Ottoman period. Notably, Kharayeb's origins can be traced back to the Persian period (539–330 BC), when it played a pivotal role in the region's agricultural and economic landscape, culminating in the construction of its Phoenician temple around the 6th century BC.

de:Märzrevolution 1848 in Berlin

edit

(Net support = 2; Against = 25%) (Group 1)

The March Revolution in Berlin was one of the European revolutions of the 1848-1849 period and a core event of the German freedom and national movement. After oppositional public assemblies in Berlin demanded civil liberties from the Prussian monarchy, the military took action against them from March 13, 1848. These clashes escalated into barricade fights on March 18 and 19, which claimed several hundred lives. King Frederick William IV was finally forced to withdraw the military from Berlin and make political concessions to the demonstrators. By summer, there was a temporary liberalization: a liberal March government was appointed and a freely elected National Assembly began to draft a constitution for Prussia. However, the disunity of the revolutionary forces enabled the king to withdraw most of the concessions from 1849 onwards.

en:Syrian literature

edit

(Net support = 3; Against = 20%) (Group 1)

Syrian literature is modern fiction written or orally performed in Arabic by writers from Syria since the independence of the Syrian Arab Republic in 1946. It is part of the historically and geographically wider Arabic literature. The modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel as well as the Palestinian autonomous areas only came into being in the mid-20th century. Therefore, Syrian literature has since been referred to by literary scholarship as the national literature of the Syrian Arab Republic, as well as the works created in Arabic by Syrian writers in the diaspora. This literature has been influenced by the country's political history, the literature of other Arabic-speaking countries and, especially in its early days, by French literature.

(Net support = 3; Against = 28.571%) (Group 1)

The United States government illegally seized the Black Hills – a mountain range in the US states of South Dakota and Wyoming – from the Sioux Nation in 1876. The land was pledged to the Sioux Nation in the Treaty of Fort Laramie, but a few years later the United States illegally seized the land and nullified the treaty with the Indian Appropriations Bill of 1876, without the tribe's consent. That bill "denied the Sioux all further appropriation and treaty-guaranteed annuities" until they gave up the Black Hills. A Supreme Court case was ruled in favor of the Sioux in 1980. As of 2011, the court's award was worth over $1 billion, but the Sioux have outstanding issues with the ruling and have not collected the funds.

  1. @Qwirkle: The article was originally written in English, so I don't understand why you would think it's "semi-translated from Swedish". Anyway, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for a Swedish Wikipedian to translate it or even add information to it, considering they would be able to check the available sources and maybe even find some more. --Brunnaiz (talk) 09:56, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If this were a conversation off wikipedia, among people unfamiliar with how wiki operates, this might be, or at least seem like, a reasonable point. Anyone on the inside should realize that the text of the article is like the tip of the iceberg, and just like a berg, the portion hidden from direct sight can have titanic consequences.
How many of the cites are in English? How many of them are from actual experts? How many of them are self-promoting press release regurgitation?

    I am unable to see how you could get to this idea from what I wrote above.
    That said, perhaps you should instead ask yourself why the article turned up in English first?
    Writing an article where the overwhelming majority of participants will be unable to readily check the sourcing and look for alternative sourcing is a bad idea if one is counting on peer review, which Wikipedia likes to pretend it does. Qwirkle (talk) 15:04, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Net support = 2; Against = 25%) (Group 1)

Ala al-Din Ali (January 1353 – August 1380) was the third Sultan of the Eretnids ruling from 1366 until his death. He inherited the throne at a very early age and was removed from administrative matters. He was characterized as particularly keen on personal pleasures, which later discredited his authority. During his rule, emirs under the Eretnids enjoyed considerable autonomy, and the state continued to shrink as neighboring powers captured several towns.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has had a presence in Tonga since 1891. The Tongan Mission was organized in 1916. However, due to anti-Mormon sentiment and government policies, the LDS Church did not grow steadily in Tonga until 1924. Between 1946 and 1956, church leaders published Tongan translations of the scriptures and built a church-sponsored school known as the Liahona School. In 1968, Tonga's first LDS stake was organized and the Nuku'alofa Tonga Temple was dedicated in 1983.

  1. I think that it would be a little unconventional to translate the article for the first games considering most Wikipedias don't have the article for the general competition. Besides, this article has specific sections for athletics and Micronesian all around, but not for the remaining sports that were played (there's even a warning attached in the section Autres sports). --Brunnaiz (talk) 23:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
