Semi-excludable anti-rival goods
Do "semi-excludable anti-rival goods" exist? Yes, the question is a combination of the 2 ways to expand the fourfold model. Based on the fact that "excludability can be measured on a continuous scale", I think the answer is yes, but I'd like to seek others' opinion. () 15:50, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
You're using a semi-excludable anti-rival good right now! Wikipedia is semi-excludable. You can use it for free, but there are features that are excluded if you don't create a membership. Some articles are protected at one time and not another so only select people can edit them. Then, it is anti-rival. It is more valuable the more people use it. If nobody used it, it would lose value. In combination, it is a semi-excludable anti-rival good. () 19:02, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

People's Republic of China
China's official name is the People's Republic of China. Democracy is rule by the people. China is not a democracy so why does its official name have the word people's in it? () 00:28, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
The "People's" helps identify the socialist ideology and the claim that power belongs to the working class under Communist Party leadership. It denotes a "people's democratic dictatorship" designed for a transition to socialism. It officially changed on October 1, 1949 after Mao wanted to mark the countries victory over the Nationalist government. He added the "People's" in front of its former name, the "Republic of China", which was used between 1912 and 1949. () 02:26, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Suit back
Hallo. What I'm going to ask is something most people take for granted and don't think to ask. But I'll ask: why do the backsides of suits and tuxedos leave the collar of the shirt that's underneath visible? () 13:15, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

::What Bugs and Clarityfiend said â speaking as someone who habitually wears tweed jackets, doing so over, for example, a low-necked t-shirt or similar can indeed lead to uncomfortable rubbing of the rougher tweed on the back of the neck. In the 19th and early 20th-century, shirts often had detachable collars so that these could be swapped and laundered more often than the shirt itself; they still survive in specialised niches.
::::Not so much for that reason, but the collars were stiffened with starch in the laundry, which you wouldn't want for the main shirt. My school uniform dictated these. () 15:10, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

In the modern era, showing visible shirt cuffs and collar serves the same purpose. Back in the 60's and 70's wide shirt collars were often worn unbuttoned and folded over the jacket collar. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} () 00:22, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

:::Further to "in the 60's and 70's wide shirt collars were often worn unbuttoned and folded over the jacket collar", historically very wide shirt collars coming over the outer jacket were typical.

The books episode is confusing (if Deuser had sold these books, how could they be confiscated?). In the German version, which is much more elaborate, they were not confiscated.

How does PBS work? Our article doesn't say much, and I'm left wondering why Trump hates it. I found this article, which explains the basic issue (PBS works well enough that Australians pay less for medicine than Americans do, so Trump thinks Americans pay for worldwide research), and some of its wording about Australia buying in bulk and having massive leverage (e.g. "drugmakers selling into AustraliaâÂÂs $19.3 billion Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme") really confuses me. Do chemists buy from suppliers and get some funding from Health, Disability and Ageing to help lower their costs, or does HD&A pay suppliers to charge chemists lower prices, or does HD&A do all the buying from suppliers and then they resell everything (at discounted prices) to the chemists, or what?

::Both the PBS website's FAQs and other aspects of the website talk about consumer-focused matters, e.g. what do you need to benefit from PBS when at the chemist and what is the Safety Net aspect; the only industry-focused elements are a few things such as "What do I need to do if the brand name of my PBS-listed product has changed". I'm curious about the basic process: how does the Commonwealth operate the programme itself? I can't find anything on this. () 18:49, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
:::I found a chart of the PBS process, in a book of technical English vocabulary. Looks like the pharmacist makes a claim after prescribing a covered item, and gets money back. For a somewhat less crappy source, here's How the phamaceutical benefits scheme began, a history. Once it gets past rambling about Bismark and streptomycin, we have . The details of the current version of the scheme are presumably written somewhere in the National Health Act 1953, an exciting treasure hunt which I will save for later or for someone else. 19:34, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
:::: The "at no charge" bit is not correct. There's a co-payment, currently set at $25.00, or $7.70 for concession card holders. It's only after reaching the Safety Net threshold that scripts become free, until the end of the calendar year. -- 19:34, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

:::::::Very useful webpage. It keeps talking about payments that are made to chemists, so I'm left guessing that they buy drugs at standard cost from suppliers, sell them to Medicare card holders at a discount, and get paid a subsidy so that the discount makes sense financially. Now I'm even more confused why Trump cares â it sounds as if the Australian market as a whole buys drugs at basically the same cost (and the consumer cost is less, so consumers are more likely to fill prescriptions than in the US), so US manufacturers get paid the same as if the Commonwealth didn't subsidise much of the market. But then, it seems like part of Trump's strategy is intentionally being unpredictable and opaque. () 20:23, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
I can't speak for the Australian system, but New Zealand has something comparable (Pharmac) which it is well known that American pharmaceutical companies hate because it aggressively negotiates on the behalf of New Zealanders for medicines etc. This archive article (if the link works) has more info here https://web.archive.org/web/20231203214335/https://officialinformationact.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-salve-for-pharmaceutical-industries.html#!https://web.archive.org/web/20231203213652/https://officialinformationact.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-salve-for-pharmaceutical-industries.html () 06:26, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
:, thank you! The negotiating sounds particularly interesting for this question. We had to take our toddler to ED when visiting family in Hamilton a couple of years ago, and the physician wrote us a prescription for a big bottle of Pamol that was completely free. I guess this helps to explain how that can be possible. Is there an article about how taxes for your system work, comparable to Medicare levy for Australia? () 07:26, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
::It's part of the general health budget (along with hospitals, public information campaigns, GP subsidies etc.) Since the most recent change of government there's been an extra levy added to all prescriptions (usually $5 but the last time I went to the pharmacy a prescription cost me $15) which is probably costing more for the paperwork for collecting it than it saves.

First Latino lawyer in the United States
The article Dennis Chávez claims that he was the first Latino lawyer in the United States in 1920. This is backed up by a reference from the Tulsa County Bar Association. I find this hard to believe. Just wondering if there were any sources to categorically prove or disprove this claim. () 01:42, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
Elfego Baca predates 1920. The Baca family was Latino/Hispanic. An argument can be made that New Mexico wasn't a state in the 1800s when much of it was granted to the Baca family, but it was American territory, and he was admitted into the BAR in 1894. This is not a claim he is the first - but it predates 1920. () 12:02, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Walkabout
According to Australian Aboriginal culture a walkabout . However, our walkabout article is about something rather different (as indeed are dictionary definitions, not to mention the film of that title). I have always thought a walkabout was about aboriginals' rites of passage in learning survival skills, but I'm having difficulty find reliable sources or detailed information about this. Surely this isn't just a popular myth. | 12:33, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
*
The myth addressed here is that "walkabout" was based on some internal urge and travel for travel's sake. Peterson argues rather that mobility was part of identity, a social norm, and an economic necessity. But there is a small part addressing your question:
Peterson 2000 is:
*
The case study is a jilkaja journey of 2,250 kilometers involving 600 people. The jilkaja journey (documented from the 1962) seems to mostly describe the return trip, but jilkaja party might refer to the return trip itself or the circumcision ceremony at the end. () 13:33, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
:Do you want more sources along this line or are you specifically looking for: "rites of passage in learning survival skills"? The journal article discusses other ceremonial journeys but only jilkaja as an initiation. () 13:37, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks @ that's very interesting. I'd still be interested to know whether there is a rite of passage in learning survival skills, as that seems to be the popular belief, at least in the UK. | 16:30, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Details of jilkaja walkabouts as part of youth initiation are here:
:::Population Mobility and Indigenous Peoples in Australasia and North America p. 230

::::More in his journal article. jilkaja means "ceremonial traveler" in Warlpiri and the journey is one part of the kurdiji initiation. For boys 12-14 (more unreliably 10-16) it is an initiation into religious knowledge and married life. Seemingly intentionally painful with more procedures that the one mentioned. No indication of other journeys or anything to do with survival skills (except surviving the pain i guess). Only negative information so far, i would think Petersonhttps://press.anu.edu.au/publications/ethnography-production-anthropological-knowledge would have known of anything and maybe would have addressed such a thing in either of those works. Maybe not tho he was focused on a larger myth and maybe Warlpiri formalized ceremonies. Might be a less formalized rite and outside Warlpiri culture. Seems Marshall's Walkabout was common secondary school reading in the UK, would have thought someone would have addressed this. () 17:52, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

::::Bindibu expedition and Pintupi. Fred Myers' Pintupi Country, Pintupi Self doesn't seem to mention anything between going from a kipara (a bush bustard) to a yulpuru (seized for the circumcision ceremony) but will look more. Using the group of aborigine that was most unknown at the time is probably an indication of invention of Marshall's part, but who knows? () 19:22, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

::::::Perhaps Aboriginal culture is not monolithic, having room for a variety of cultural practices whose commonality is not the occasion that gives rise to them, but a prominent aspect of the form, involving a long journey. Trying to shoehorn all into a unified concept is then like visitors from outer space trying to define Festival in a way that captures the Bayreuth Festival, the Festival of Fools and the Lantern Festival. ​âÂÂâ 07:53, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

::::::::It is not our business as reference desk responders to define terms, but the question is about, or implies, the issue of the meaning of the term walkabout, noting a discrepancy between how the term is treated in our articles Walkabout and Australian Aboriginal culture. Any responses must need consider that issue. Defining the term is the business of encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia, and of dictionaries, such as Wiktionary (as seen in its entry ). ​âÂÂâ 07:15, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::Gotcha. I took the question as more along the lines of finding if there was a "rite of passage" among aboriginal cultures involving travel that we might connect to the term. I agree with your comment except that the metaphor is backwards: if we want to understand travel amongst aboriginal cultures we shouldn't approach as trying to define 'walkabout' but read Peterson and look at for instance Warlpiri:
:::::::::*wapa+mi walk, move about
:::::::::*wirlinyi day trip, excursion, 'hunting'
:::::::::*yanjaki (manjiki) camping out
:::::::::*wirlinyi going away from one's camp or sleeping quarters (ngurra) during the day and returning home to spend the night
:::::::::*manjiki,yanjaki,wurramanji,ngurramangi going away from one's permanent camp (kirri,ngurra) for a temporary stay involving at least one overnight stay
:::::::::*wurna travelling from one's camp to another place for some purpose, often for an extended time
:::::::::*jijanu short visit to another person's camp (ngurra) typically to see someone and talk to that person
:::::::::from this short primer. And jilkaja "ceremonial traveler. Normally men coming for sacred business."https://archive.org/details/warlpiridictionary/page/n15/mode/2up That dictionary does define manjiki as "walkabout, bush camp, holiday".
:::::::::For article work, trying to verify Australian Aboriginal culture's that looks to me like it is "just a popular myth" invented by Marshall for his novel and common in the UK because it was often secondary school reading. Have been unable to verify the article statement anyway. It would be nice to find 's debunking.
:::::::::The walkabout article needs work, beginning with which might easily be confused with pastoral period as not everyone would be familiar with pastoralism in Australia. The word itself is Australian English (or pigdin according to some). It's initial use was to describe the travel behavior of aboriginals as aimless, based on an internal urge, and travel for travel's sake. A myth Peterson addresses in his chapter in Population Mobility. It's a fun word and English speakers can use it for purposes of their own such as the 'royal walkabout'. Note the which i am thinking is just another myth. Not just the "rite of passage part" but I think it originated with Australians looking at Aboriginal Australian culture and getting it wrong.
:::::::::Educators are using the term (see: ) and probably perpetuating the myths. I do not know the extent to which aboriginals today have appropriated the term for their own uses, it might be a fun word for them also. But we shouldn't approach trying to understand their earlier travel practices or describe them through use of 'walkabout'. Which i believe is along the lines of what you were stating with the backwards metaphor. () 14:29, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

19th-century Acts of UK Parliament and railways
A longstanding project has caused me to encounter gazillions of redirects along the lines of Fleetwood, Preston and West Riding Junction Railway Act 1846. Typically, these redirects go to a section of a railway article that discusses an Act of Parliament providing for the railway, dating from the middle third of the nineteenth century.
Why did so many of these companies seek Acts of Parliament? Were comparable acts equally common in other sectors of the economy? If not, why were railways different (was construction somehow illegal if a company didn't get legal authorisation?), and if it were equally common, did they represent a significant share of all enactments in this period? () 06:30, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
It gave them the rights to seek compulsory purchase of land from the landowners, to override any property rights (so they could demolish, dig, tunnel if they needed to). These so called 'Private Acts' were also used for building the Canals, founding Universities and even forming Limited Companies. () 08:21, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
Yes, before the Joint Stock Companies Act 1844, says WP, "incorporation was possible only by royal charter or private act and was limited owing to Parliament's protection of the privileges and advantages thereby granted. As a result, many businesses came to be operated as unincorporated associations, with possibly thousands of members. Any consequent litigation had to be carried out in the joint names of all the members and was almost impossibly cumbersome. Parliament would sometimes grant a private act to allow an individual to represent the whole in legal proceedings, but that was a narrow and necessarily costly expedient, which was allowed only to established companies." Railways continued to need individual acts for the reasons Nanonic gives, and also I think to give them the right to impose wide-ranging byelaws once the line was operating. () 16:26, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
It's been the norm to authorise large UK infrastructure projects that involve lots of compulsory purchase through individual laws. That kind of big project is rare, so it's hard to exactly say it's still continuing, but some fairly recent examples are High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Act 2017, Crossrail Act 2008 and Channel Tunnel Rail Link Act 1996. () 15:24, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
:Another example were the inclosure acts, enabling the breaking-up and cultivation of open land and extinguishing rights of common, such as grazing and collecting firwood, held by local people. They legislation was drawn up on a case-by-case basis; "between 1604 and 1914 over 5,200 individual acts enclosing public land were passed". () 17:29, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
:There was an example in Australia where a homeowner refused to sell their house, even after it was offered for millions of dollars. In the end, the homeowner was surrounded by new houses. I don't think it was a CPO (or whatever its called in Australia) because the developers gave up on trying to force the homeowner to vacate the property.
::This is an example of what, exactly? () 18:21, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:Back to UK. Crossrail and HS2 are some of the largest railway construction projects in Europe, both involving London. Phase 2a of HS2 between Handsacre and Crewe was given a royal assent in 2021, before the rest of phase 2 was cancelled in 2023 (the Leeds leg was cancelled two years earlier). Now its only going between London and Birmingham/Handsacre which alleviates pressure slightly on the southern WCML, but slows all trains in the North, due to mixing slow and fast passenger trains and freight trains, as well as various conflict points, especially the Colwich Junction, turning the WCML into the M25. I wonder what happens to the homeowners who had to vacate their house on the now-cancelled stretches. () 17:34, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
::::They get compensation, of course, though of course they complain it isn't enough, the French being supposedly more generous in such cases. () 01:31, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
::, why would they need Parliament's authority before creating bye-laws? Even without that authority, couldn't the company's executives tell everyone else "here's our policy, and you will be disciplined or sacked if you violate it"? And , are you thinking of this incident in western Sydney? In capitals and in regional towns where they built heaps of new houses, median prices are approaching $1 million for an ordinary house, so even if you didn't mean the thing I found, "millions of dollars" wouldn't necessarily mean an exceptional situation. () 01:20, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Bye-laws apply to anyone, not just employees. A railway bye-law may make it an offence punishable by a fine to trespass on railway property, or to pull the communication cord without good reason. They are as much law as laws made by Parliament are. You can read current railway bye-laws here. () 01:46, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
::::They can only define certain acts as punishable offences because the authority to do so that has been delegated by law. A commercial organization can draw up a bye-law provision that customers must not wear sandals, but it cannot make this an offence in a legal sense. ​âÂÂâ 02:44, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::I don't think you understand what a bye-law is. A bye-law is law. It is made under powers granted by parliament (and in the past by royal charter). A company making a rule like your sandal example is not making a bye law. One of the functions of the Railway Acts asked about was to grant the railway companies the power to make bye-laws. () 07:57, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::::Yes, exactly. () 18:21, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::Interesting; I was unaware that the US usage differed from the rest of the world. To me, the by-laws (note the spelling difference) are the internal regulations, like how the company operates. I assumed that trespassing on railway property would be enforced like trespassing on anyone else's property, and "no sandals" would be enforced by management requiring you to leave the premises, at the pain of summoning the police to expel you if you refused to comply, or even to arrest you (again for trespassing) if you still refused. () 01:16, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::That appears to be the case for the Commonwealth concept. In the US the term is used more generally. In either case, the control such bye-laws can exert with legal force is limited. ​âÂÂâ 09:28, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Yes, I was thinking about that specific scenario. Its just that I commented what I remember in my head without searching. I didn't think that its not common for house prices to be a million these days (and that the linked article says the median house prices in Quackers Hill is $1.1m) and that 1 GBP is 1.9 AUD. Also, that property (with all that grass) is so large that it would be worth like $10m so I see why the developers wanted to buy the land for $60 million dollars. () 16:16, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

:::I went to Wikipedia Commons, did a search for "Cursive Plus Sign", clicked on my drawing, clicked on "More Details", clicked the "Edit" button and changed the caption from "A common sign that is found in informal writing that means 'and'." to "Cursive Plus Sign".
:::However, I see that the drawing in our discussion here still has a caption "Your Caption Here"! () 09:27, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
::::That caption is now in the wikitext of this Wikipedia page; it does not get changed by the change on Wikimedia Commons. Future users, on clicking "", will see the wikitext "" for use as a thumbnail. ​âÂÂâ 09:41, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

The reasons why TrumpâÂÂs interference failed to bring about a change of government
The fact that Trump failed to bring about regime change in Venezuela by capturing Maduro or in Iran by killing KhomeiniâÂÂcan this be attributed to the fact that Venezuela and Iran are effectively oligarchies, and thus the death of a leader does not trigger instability? Would such actions have been more successful if both countries were led by charismatic leaders?-- () 10:08, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
