Talk:Escheat

Interestingly still commonly in use in the US, particularly in relation to investments

Limbo cessions

I added the reference tag, because the material, despite the apparent appearance of sources, fails to clearly state what these sources are. Which US insular cases suggest the claims? What part of the US Army Field Manual in question purports to make these assertions? The material looks to me suspiciously familiar as the IMO fringe "Taiwan is US Territory" hypothesis. I had left a note on the anon contributor's talk page requesting clarification; however, I have not received any reply for quite some time. In the spirit of being bold, I will hold off on seriously trimming this stuff for a week or so, if no improvements to these references are made in the meantime. Ngchen 17:59, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Time Travel

Would this have implications for the time-honored scheme of investing a small amount of money in a savings account, then traveling to the far future to profit from the interest? --Shay Guy (talk) 16:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I would suggest rather investing in a balanced portfolio of equities if using this clever trick - a better hedge against inflation! (Lobsterthermidor (talk) 14:54, 31 August 2011 (UTC))

Unexplained abbreviation: "I.P.M."

There's a reference to I.P.M., which is not explained. An explanation is needed. (I can't fix it because I don't know what it means.) 69.200.247.26 (talk) 01:50, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

I replaced I.P.M. with (( intergrated pest management]], since that seems the most appropriate expansion of the acronym, but alas Wikipedia has no article on that. --71.141.243.12 (talk) 10:17, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Don't understand why the word: "Frenchmen" is being used?

If it is anent the English and Normans, then I do not understand why the word "Frenchmen" is also used. It is confusing, unless somehow also talking about all the land held by the English in what would BECOME France - there again, not all were 'Frenchmen' at the time of the hundred years war.

"John and his heirs frequently insisted on seizing terrae Normannorum, "lands of the Normans", the English land of those who preferred to be Frenchmen rather than Englishmen when the victories of Philip Augustus forced a proclamation of allegiance." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.219.248.118 (talk) 13:10, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
