Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States FA-drive

Sorry for spamming you, but in light of the impending shift of the Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States, I'd like to get this article up to FA status within the next few weeks, and ready for the front page by the time the Court starts its fall term. Any help or advice you can provide would be appreciated. Cheers! bd2412 T 01:19, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll see what I can add. Thanks for the heads up! --Nsaum75 (talk) 18:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Golan Heights, Occupied/disputed etc.

Could you maybe chase this up? I'm trying to control my time spent on Wikipedia especially on battlegrounds and I've had to do some fire-fighting after an outbreak at JIDF.--Peter cohen (talk) 11:20, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Dyed chicks.

Know anything more about this? Looks allot like fish dying. Cant be good. --Frank Fontaine (talk) 12:09, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Its done to make the chicks look interesting to kids; however the dye fades as new feathers grow in, so you end up with a "normal" adult chicken. Here in the mountains of rural southern Mexico, there isn't much land for raising livestock or large farm animals, so chickens are extremely important (primarily for their eggs...although some chicken meat is consumed, the eggs are viewed as a "steady resource")

Part of the problem with the dye, however, is that it often contains lead additives. This theoretically could cause lead poisoning to the bird (or to the human who later eats the eggs). I'm looking for RS on that info, so it can be added to the article. --Nsaum75 (talk) 14:32, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. Not much like fish dying then. (Which is banned in many countries as it often leads to serious problems with there health, dyed fish are very prone to fungal infections)Lead in the paint…Not good. Considering just how quickly chicks grow those kids are going to disappointed not long after purchase!--Frank Fontaine (talk) 16:59, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
