If you have a question about Wikipedia, see Questions or feel free to ask me a question on my talk page. If you would like to be a great and helpful contributor to this encyclopedia, there are alot of tasks to help out to this encyclopedia here, or clean backlogs, and you will be a helpful editor. One more thing, remember to sign your posts on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ it will automatically insert your signature and the date, and remember to fill in the edit summary field. Good luck and good editing. Cheers. JoeSperrazza (talk) == Talk page messages == Note: Always remember to substitute user warning templates.

The Coat of arms of South Australia is the official symbol of the state of South Australia. It was granted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 19 April 1984. They replaced a coat of arms granted to the State in 1936 by King Edward VIII. The shield has the piping shrike within a golden disc (officially said to represent the rising sun) on a blue background. The piping shrike is the unofficial bird emblem of South Australia and also appears on the State Badge. The crest is the Sturt's desert pea, the floral emblem of South Australia, on top of a wreath of the State colours. The coat of arms has no supporters. The compartment, or base, is a grassland with symbols of agriculture and industry, and a motto with the name "South Australia". ==See also== Flag of South Australia Government of South Australia Heraldry ==External links== The State Coat of Arms of South Australia Download the State Coat of Arms of South Australia Emblems of South Australia South Australia South Australia South Australia South Australia South Australia South Australia

== Plenty of additional tests == There are plenty of additional tests of GR: Pound-Rebka, which confirmed the existance of the gravitational red-shifing of light. Haefele-Keating Experiment, which used atomic clocks in aircraft to test GR and SR together. GPS, which was found to be inaccurate unless the effects of GR were taken into account. See the USENET Relativity FAQ experiments page for more information of these and other relativity experiments. also Gravity Probe B satellite recently launched, to detect "frame dragging". Should have enough data in a couple years. GangofOne == MERGER OF PAGES == I think this page should be merged with classical tests of general relativity done == Precession of Mercury's perihelion == Numbers of 570 and 5600 seconds of arc per century are both correct, and they are quoted equally often. Mercury's perihelion precesses 574 seconds per century with respect to the inertial frame of the Sun. Earth's perihelion also precesses at much higher rate of approx. 5000 seconds per century in the opposite direction. As a result, orbit of Mercury precesses 5600 seconds per century as seen from Earth. The 5600 arc-seconds comes not from the Earth's orbital precession, but from its axial precession. Becuase of how the direction the axis of rotation points changes, the right ascension coordinates (which are stated in relationship to the position of the Sun at the vernal equinox) are changing. So the 5600 arc-seconds per century is mostly a coordinate precession. I have been sitting on an update to the Mercury section that describes this. I will post it this weekend. I already put a comment on the page of Mpatel about this - yes the 5000 sec/cy is due to the precession of the Earth's axis, which changes the Vernal Equinox relative to a celestial reference frame fixed in distant quasars (used to be fixed using stars). The Earth's perihelion is not used as a reference point for many reasons. One is that it is poorly determined, because the orbit is nearly circular. More importantly, it is a secondary quantity; the Earth's rotation axis and equatorial plane, which are used to find the Vernal equinox, are directly determinable by observing stars (for amateurs) and quasars (for the IERS). Because the axial precession is east to west, it adds into the perihelion precession of Mercury; it does not subtract.

The AS-90 (Artillery System for the 1990s; known officially as Gun Equipment 155 mm L131) is a lightly armoured self-propelled artillery piece used by the British Army. The AS-90 was first deployed by the British Army in 1993. 179 AS-90s were acquired to re-equip six of the eight self-propelled field artillery regiments (each 24 guns) in the 1 (BR) Corps, replacing the 105 mm FV433 Abbot SPG and older M109 155 mm Self Propelled Gun. It remains in UK service and will equip three field regiments supporting armoured infantry brigades for the foreseeable future. 134 in service in 2008, 117 in 2015. AS-90 was designed and built by the Armaments division of Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering (VSEL), whose parent company became BAE Systems in 1999. VSEL provided 179 vehicles between 1992 and 1995 at a cost of £300 million ($480 million USD). The AS-90 underwent a capability enhancement program in 2008 and 2009, primarily relating to upgrades of the AS-90's electronic system. In 1999, Marconi Electronic Systems was contracted to upgrade British Army AS-90s to include a 52 calibre gun in order to increase the range of the artillery. ==Development== AS-90 started in the mid-1980s as a private venture on the 'gamble' that the tri-national SP70 would fail. When this duly occurred, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) issued a cardinal point specification on one page for a new 155 mm SPG. Four tenders were submitted, and AS-90 was the only offer that was not 'brochureware'. The MoD was also required to consider the US "Paladin", an upgraded M109 howitzer. The MoD has undertaken studies in 2006-09 to "up gun" the Royal Navy's main shipboard gun armament, the 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval gun, to accept 155 mm ammunition from the AS-90. This would introduce a common gun calibre for the British Army and Royal Navy, helping with ammunition logistics, and encouraging joint Army-Navy development of extended range and precision guided shells. ==Design== In 1963 certain NATO nations, including the UK, agreed a Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding for a 155 mm 39 calibre ordnance and a baseline projectile with the shape used for the US M549 rocket-assisted shell. The AS-90 uses a conforming 39 calibre barrel which fires the L15 unassisted projectile out to a range of 24.7 km. However, this was a new design of ordnance using a split sliding block breech with Crossley obturation, instead of the more usual screw breech, to permit bagged charges (no metal cartridge cases). The breech mechanism has a primer magazine holding 18 primers. The standard ammunition is that designed for FH-70 (L15 HE and associated propelling charges) although in training the less effective but cheaper M107 with Green and White propelling charges is used. It is fitted with an auxiliary power unit to eliminate the need to run the main engine to keep the batteries charged while stationary; electrical servos drive the automated elevation, traverse, magazine, shell transfer arm and loader as well as power for electronics and communications. The vehicle is fitted with an autonomous navigation and gun laying dynamic reference unit (DRU) mounted on the trunnion. All main turret functions are controlled by a Turret Control Computer (TCC) with control and display units for the No 1 (Detachment Commander), No 2 (loader) and No 3 (layer). The combination of the DRU, TCC and powered laying controls provide autolaying. Every gun is fitted with a radar Muzzle Velocity Measuring Device. Reversionary mode laying uses deflection laying via the direct fire sight. The gun can be brought into action fully closed down, the barrel can be clamped and unclamped from within the vehicle. Into and out of action times are less than 1 minute. ==Characteristics== Crew: 5, on board when moving (driver plus 4 gun detachment), full gun detachment 10 including driver, 4 detachment members in the turret. Length: 9.07 m Width: 3.3 m Height: 3.0 m Armour: 17 mm (maximum, steel) Weight: 45 tons Calibre: 155 mm Range: 24.9 km (39 cal), 30 km (52 cal) standard charges Rate of fire: 3 rounds in 10 seconds (burst), 6 rounds per minute for 3 minutes (intense), 2 rounds per minute for 60 minutes (sustained) Secondary armament: 7.62 mm L7 GPMG Ammunition carried: 48 projectiles and charges (31 turret and 17 hull), 1000 MG rounds Main Engine: Cummins VTA903T 660 bhp 90 degree, v8, 4 stroke, liquid cooled, turbo diesel, Max Speed: 55 km/h (Road) Range: 370 km or 231 mi (Road) Ground clearance: 0.41 m; Gradient: 60°; Vertical obstacle: 0.75 m; Trench crossing: 2.8 m; Fording depth: 1.5 m ==Variants== AS-90D - Modified for desert use. Thermal protection for crew and extra cooling for engine and machinery. Tracks adapted for reduced wear in sandy conditions. AS-90 "Braveheart" - Basically the AS-90, but fitted with the 52 calibre length gun. This project was terminated due to non-compliant propellant charges. Haubicoarmata "Krab" - (eng. Howitzer-cannon Crab) Licensed "Braveheart" turret on a K9 Thunder chassis, with modern "Azalia" BMS. Designed and integrated in Poland, by Huta Stalowa Wola and WB Electronics. Two Krab ("Crab") prototypes were built in 2001, and successfully completed all required evaluations and state acceptance trials. Initial serial production started in 2008, with eight units delivered to Polish Land Forces for testing. ==Operators== British Army - Royal Artillery ==See also== PzH 2000 - Panzerhaubitze 2000, German 155mm artillery from Rheinmetall in service since 1998 M109 howitzer AHS Krab - the Polish variant using the AS-90 turret G6 howitzer - A South African 155mm self-propelled howitzer from Denel land systems ==References== Self-propelled artillery of the United Kingdom 155 mm artillery Tracked self-propelled howitzers British Army equipment

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section. The result of the discussion was Keep. WOSlinker (talk) This template convolutes notification that a user account has been blocked for contravention of the user name policy with a user name that ostensibly represents an organization, and a user warning about a conflict of interest. Multipurpose user talk templates have always been problematic, and that is why few, if any, exist within the scope of the User Warnings Project. First, by blending these two issues, this template mixes process such that the blocked and warned user can confuse the reasons for the block and the subsequent process. The template presents the block reasons, then describes conflict of interest, then discusses process to appeal the block. This presentation could confuse a user into thinking that the conflct of interest is part of the reason for the block, when it actually is not. Possible consequences are that the user may mistakenly abandon a meritorious appeal of the user name block, or may unnecessarily or detrimentally, since irrelevant arguments often detract in the decision on appeal, address conflict of interest issues in appealing the block when they are actually not relevant. Second, the text of the template indicates that its use is instead of an actual examination of whether a conflict of interest may exist. In contrast, the design of provides for its use after actually examining the user's edits and considering the types of articles edited, the user name, and other information about the user that may reveal a conflict of interest. The user then specifically identifies the relevant article in providing warning of a potential conflict of interest. Causeblock, however, provides information about conflict of interest only because the user name has been blocked, without any additional examination. While the information the template provides would be fine in a welcome/help template, guised in the dress of a block template, it becomes inappropriately declarative. Regardless, while I understand that the template was created to provide relevant information to users while being convenient for the the user applying it, it is inferior to the use of the separate template; small additional effort could determine whether a specific COI warning is indicated. For these reasons, I propose the template be redirected to Uw-softerblock. I believe the template is effectively redundant with applying both and , or, even better, if appropriate. I hope that commenters in opposition will address specifically the sufficiency of these particular combinations as replacements for the template. Bsherr (talk) Redirect to ; the two templates seem to effectively say the same thing, but softerblock is much less confusing to read, and doesn't drag in N for a tangential reason. KeepThe original discussion that led to the creation of this back in May is at NOBLECAUSE-block template created? I don't see how this is confusing or unclear. Choosing a username that represents a group and then writing an article about that group shows a COI, and is in fact part of the reason for blocking such accounts. This was developed as a friendlier template to be used in this specific situation, and is now part of Twinkle's standard set of block notices. Why use two templates when we have one made just for this particular situation? Beeblebrox (talk) Could you show where the template says explicitly that the COI is part of the reason for the block? Could you also show where the template states explicitly that the user wrote a conflicted article? NOTE: This discussion has been cross-posted at UAA to alert UAA regulars to the potential change. Beeblebrox (talk) Keep as per Beeblebrox. He put it better than I could state. Keep: it does a good job of explaining why the user was blocked in terms of the username matching a company name, and the user's edits also being problematic: hopefully users who create accounts with different usernames after receiving this template will know to avoid the problematic editing in future, not just choose a more appropriate username. I don't see how it could be confusing. GiftigerWunsch Well, I tried to explain what makes it confusing. It would be helpful to me if you could explain if you think the issues I identified are aren't important. Keep - definite strong keep.

Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) has been a redirect to for over a year. The reason, as I understand it, is that there is considerable overlap between the information needed for political units of all sizes.

PC78 (talk) Keep we can't just merge these, as it will significantly affect the wording/future of . Currently it's namespace-neutral, but any time someone wants to change it they'll have to maintain compatibility with categories and probably other namespaces as well. The "multiple namespaces" functionality refers to the template's ability to be placed on a talk page. It was never designed to work with categories. It seems illogical to bunch more functionality together, creating more complex wikicode that's harder to maintain when we can just specialize. This template shouldn't need a namespace-detector beyond "article-talk-other", and if we keep things simple and specialized, we can remove the more complex detector it currently has. There's no reason to bother with namespace-detection because editors should know which namespace they're editing. Why make the MW parser do extra work? Addendum Someone is probably going to point out that we shouldn't worry about performance. I'm not worrying about performance, mostly. I'm mostly worried about making this template easy for us to maintain by keeping its wikicodebase small. A simple would be great, but since we need categories and such, it is reasonable to add more stuff. It isn't reasonable to add a namspace detector, however, because the editor already knows the namespace by the time he uses the template, so the template doesn't need to figure the namespace out on its own. Also, just because the developers tell you not to worry about performance doesn't mean you should immediately run and consume as much as you can.

The result of the discussion was Delete. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) The purpose of this template is to place the documentation for a sidebar template even with the template on the left of the page. It's used on a relatively very small minority of sidebar templates. It contravenes the documented best practice for Documentation, which is for the documentation to be placed below the template. The reason for this best practice, and the reason that the template should be deleted, is that any alternative placement of the documentation confuses the separation between the template and its documentation by overriding the spacial barrier that normally exists between them. It also unnecessarily narrows the presentation of the template documentation. I propose the template be orphaned and then deleted. Bsherr (talk) Dunno. This is arguably useful for such cases where the documentation would otherwise be pushed off the top of the page, there is still a clear distinction between template and documentation, and it doesn't contravene any template space guidelines that I know of. It could do with a rename to make it clear that it's a documentation template, but otherwise I'm not seeing the harm. PC78 (talk) Could you explain what you mean by the template being pushed off the top of the page? Yep, we should get rid. This was a good-faith but rather idiosyncratic attempt to format template documentation for infoboxes so that it wasn't pushed down the page, but a far preferable solution is for the template itself to be hidden on its own page and for any samples to be shown in the doc instead (see for instance).

Ruslik_Zero The template is a navbox that is too broad spectrumed in name-alone to be helpful, let alone content. By definition, any animated piece that was not done by DC Animated Universe would fit the parameters for this box. Conversly, the pages populated are fairly narrowly included to only include DC Comics male superheroes (excluding other DC Comics animated TV shows and features (Mad; Wonder Woman)). Delete as the parameter and scope makes this an essentially unusable template. Sharp962 (talk) Your only valid objection seems to be to the title, which I do find to be clumsy. However, this is clearly the result of setting limits to its content, your claim of a lack thereof notwithstanding. As there is one Marvel Animation and another Marvel Animated Universe, this appears to be almost perfectly analogous, except that the DC one at hand is limited (there's that word again) enough to disallow direct-to-video (VHS or DVD) or theatrical (e.g., the 1940s Superman shorts) productions. In fact, the first named Marvel navbox should by its title contain everything that the other one does, but it doesn't; come to that, there is nothing there earlier than 2006, but there are quite a few Marvel-based cartoons of the 1960s, 70s and 80s inexplicably (given that title) not listed there. You'll find no explanation or description of a further limitation of any kind there. Consequently, the spectrum of the template under discussion is less broad than that one (or at least has fewer productions qualifying for inclusion at this date; both are likely to grow, of course), and it is at least equally usable (I don't even understand that claim). One vote for not deleting here (You want to post a complaint on that Marvel template's talk page about the numerous items whose absences are inexplicable, then once they are up nominate it for deletion as well, you'll invalidate most of my support of this one). A more concise title, on the other hand.... 173.184.19.140 (talk) Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) Marvel Animation is a specific company (and the films that comprise it are produced by the company); and the Marvel Animated Universe is a specific animation inset of Marvel entertainment from the 90's and has article to accompany. The template links to ALL DC animation, and not specific sub-sets like the aforementioned templates you mentioned above. -Sharp962 (talk) . Note: This debate has been included in the list of Comics and animation-related deletion discussions. —Sharp962 (talk) One has to have that inside information to understand that, as the template does not suggest that limitation at all, other than its title being a link to the article you mention. Besides, Marvel Animation has existed as a company since just about 1980, while the article's infobox says it was "founded" in "2008." This also contradicts the previously mentioned fact that the template's content goes back to 2006. On the other hand, the text there states that it "was incorporated in 2008...." Not the same thing at all, as many companies existed for years before incorporating. That is "an essentially unusable template," a term I still see as totally inapplicable to the one nominated for deletion. There is not all that much in this one when compared to a huge number of others and it is not the fault of the editor who made it that there are no available subsets for any of these (save the Super Friends which has its own template but no grounds for not including its overall article here, and the 1966-69 Filmation cycle which is too small to deserve its own). Furthermore, given my previous explanation of the statement's inaccuracy it is indefensible to say it "includes ALL DC animation." This is even allowing for your previous exclusion of the DC Animated Universe material, which you did not repeat here, and you even emphasized the word "all" this time. (BTW, you did that with caps, and if you don't know Wikipedia well enough to know how to emphasize with italics or boldface here, how do you qualify for the standing to nominate something for deletion?) Again, this template covers only cartoon TV series: no theatrical, TV or video features, and not the 1940s Superman shorts, simply not "ALL DC animation." If you feel the need to make such a false statement to support your position, it must be lacking valid support. 173.184.31.20 (talk) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Winterthur Seen railway station (Bahnhof Winterthur Seen) is a railway station that serves Seen, which is district number 3 in Winterthur, a city in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. It forms part of the Tösstalbahn section between Winterthur Grüze and Bauma. ==Location== Situated at the north eastern edge of central Seen, the station borders the quarter of Sonnenberg, on the other side of the tracks. ==History== The station was opened on 4 May 1875, together with the rest of the first section of the Tösstalbahn, between Grüze and Bauma. One year later, the line was extended to Wald. From 1882, the operating railway company also had a line of its own to Winterthur Hauptbahnhof. On 10 June 1918, the station and the rest of the line were nationalized, and came under the control of the SBB-CFF-FFS. == Tracks == Winterthur Seen has two platform tracks. ==Services== === Zürich S-Bahn === The station is served by the following Zürich S-Bahn lines: (only every hour; every half-hour from Winterthur HB to Seuzach) ==Local transport== Stadtbus Winterthur serves the station with one Winterthur trolleybus line and one other bus line.

Winterthur Seen railway station

Kelli Stanley (born 1964) is an award-winning and critically acclaimed American author of mystery-thrillers. The majority of her published fiction is written in the genres of historical crime fiction and noir. Her best known work, the Miranda Corbie series, is set in San Francisco, her adoptive hometown. ==Biography== ===Novels=== Stanley's debut novel, Nox Dormienda (A Long Night for Sleeping) (released in 2008) was the first of a series set in Roman Britain in the 1st century CE (The Arcturus Series).Nox Dormienda takes its title from a line by the Roman poet Catullus in the poem known as Catullus 5 (Vivamus, mea Lesbia ...). Stanley has said that the title is an homage to The Big Sleep, and roughly translates as "A night that must be slept, i.e., death." Stanley was a graduate student in Classics at San Francisco State University when she wrote the novel, and labeled this first series as "Roman noir," a pun on the French literary term for “black novel,” a unique combination of historical setting and hardboiled style. The Curse-Maker, the second novel in the series, was sold to Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's Minotaur and published in 2011. Stanley's second novel, City of Dragons, was published by Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's Minotaur in 2010. The novel marked Stanley's move from a small press to a major publisher. The first novel in the Miranda Corbie mystery series, City of Dragons is set in 1940 San Francisco, particularly Chinatown, and tackles issues relating to the Second Sino-Japanese War. The protagonist, Miranda Corbie, is a private investigator, former Spanish Civil War nurse and ex-escort. Stanley has said that she wanted to create a femme fatale as a hero, playing tribute to noir conventions while at the same time challenging them. City of Secrets, the sequel to City of Dragons, was published in 2011. The plot centers on the murders of two young women, the crime apparently motivated by anti-Semitism. The novel continues to explore the major themes of Stanley's oeuvre: racism, sexism, and the erroneous romanticism of history. City of Ghosts, the third novel in the Miranda Corbie series, was published in August 2014. In addition to genre elements and an ongoing authorial redefinition of noir, the plot explores the role of art in culture, specifically centering on how Nazi Germany labeled most modern art "degenerate" while simultaneously looting Old Masters and other works from conquered European countries. ===Short Stories=== Stanley's first published short-story, "Convivium", is a prequel to Nox Dormienda and was published in the now-defunct e-magazine "Hardluck Stories", founded by author Dave Zeltserman. "Convivium" was nominated for a Spinetinger Award for best e-story in 2007. "Children's Day", a short story prequel to City of Dragons featuring Miranda Corbie, Stanley's private detective protagonist, was published in the bestselling International Thriller Writers anthology First Thrills: High-Octane Stories from the Hottest Thriller Authors. The collection, which was edited by Lee Child, was released in 2010 by Tor/Forge. "Memory Book", another Miranda Corbie short story prequel to both City of Dragons and City of Secrets, was published September 6, 2011, on Macmillan's The Criminal Element website and as an e-book. Stanley also participated in the first charity e-book anthology, spearheaded by author Timothy Hallinan. The project, which resulted in the bestselling e-book Shaken: Stories for Japan, contributes all money—including the share normally retained by Amazon—to the Japan America Society of Southern California, to be used to help the country recover from the devastating effects of the Great East Japan earthquake. Stanley's contribution is set during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and is entitled "Coolie". Stanley's first contemporary fiction, a short story about the 2008 financial meltdown entitled "Survior", is available in the "Scoundrels" anthology in both print and e-book formats. The anthology is edited by noir author Gary Philips. ===Critical Reception=== The city and county of San Francisco awarded Stanley a Certificate of Honor for her invention of the "Roman noir" subgenre, and Nox Dormienda went on to win the Bruce Alexander Memorial Historical Mystery Award for best historical mystery published in 2008, despite its limited print run as a small-press book. City of Dragons received early praise from several notable writers, including Lee Child, Linda Fairstein, Robert B. Parker, George Pelecanos and Otto Penzler, and was published to high critical acclaim: three starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal, an RT Book Review Top Pick, an Indie Next Pick from the American Booksellers Association, and a Killer Book from the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association. Crime fiction critic Tom Nolan of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote in a review dated March 28, 2010, that "Stanley, winner (for a previous book set in ancient Rome) of the Bruce Alexander Award for best historical mystery, knows how to bring the past to life: not only with a wealth of references to old buildings and politics and popular culture, but with thoughts and attitudes, dialogue and gestures, that seem both true to another time and as spontaneous as right this minute. City of Dragons, with its brittle patter and its broken heart of gold, is a joy to read.”. Oline Cogdill of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel praised on February 21, 2010: "Kelli Stanley's riveting new series about 1940s San Francisco private investigator Miranda Corbie revels in the character's uniqueness without resorting to cliches ... The gritty, hard-boiled City of Dragons works as an insightful look at racism and sexism. Stanley never misses a beat as she also shows San Francisco's hidden corners, seething emotions in the days before WWII. ... City of Dragons is a wonderful start to what should be a long-running series." The hardcover edition of City of Dragons reached #2 on the bestseller list for the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association and was published in hardcover, paperback, large-print, audio and e-editions. The novel won the Macavity Award (Sue Feder Memorial Historical Mystery Award) for 2010, a major mystery award given out by Mystery Readers International. City of Dragons was also selected as a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the mystery/thriller category, was nominated for the Bruce Alexander Memorial Historical Mystery Award, the RT Book Reviews Reviewer's Choice award in the historical mystery category, and was a finalist for the Shamus Award for Best First PI Novel by the Private Eye Writers of America. City of Secrets, the sequel to City of Dragons won the Golden Nugget Award at Left Coast Crime 2012, in Sacramento, California, on March 31, 2012, for the best California-set mystery of 2011. The book was also nominated for a RT Book Reviews Reviewers Choice Award. ===Non-fiction=== Stanley contributed an essay and writing exercise to "Now Write! Mysteries", part of the successful writing instruction series published by Penguin. She also contributed an article to "Books to Die For", a selection of essays by 120 mystery writers world-wide on the subject of their favorite or most influential books in the genre. "Books to Die For" is edited by John Connolly and Declan Burke, and is published in the UK by Hodder and Stoughton and in the US by Washington Square Press. ===Academic=== As a graduate student, Stanley published an article on the sociological and cultural impact of Wonder Woman, the DC Comics superhero. The paper is entitled “’Suffering Sappho!’: Wonder Woman and the (Re)Invention of the Feminine Ideal.” Helios 32.2 (2005): 143-171. ===Personal life=== Stanley is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, holds a master's degree in Classics from San Francisco State University, is published in that field, and has lectured internationally at academic conferences. She lived and attended high school in northern Mendocino/southern Humboldt counties in northern California. In the 1990s, she owned a successful comic book/pop culture store with her family in San Francisco and was an Overstreet Guide adviser. More recently, she has had a hiatus from publishing another novel between City of Secrets and City of Ghosts because of the deaths of her parents in late 2011 and early 2012. Stanley served as President of the Northern California Mystery Writers of America for two years (2011, 2012). Stanley is also a member of the International Thriller Writers, Sisters in Crime, International Association of Crime Writers, and Private Eye Writers of America, and credits Raymond Chandler as her greatest writing influence. ==Awards and honors== City of Secrets won the Golden Nugget Award for best California-set mystery of 2011 and was a finalist for the RT Book Reviews Reviewers Choice Award (Historical Mystery). City of Dragons won the Macavity Award (Sue Feder Memorial Historical Mystery Award) for best historical mystery of 2010. City of Dragons was selected as one of the five finalists for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the Shamus Award, for Best First Private Eye Novel, the Bruce Alexander Memorial Historical Mystery Award for Best Historical Mystery of 2010, awarded at Left Coast Crime in March, 2011, and the RT Book Reviews Readers Choice award for Best Historical Mystery of 2010. Nox Dormienda won the Bruce Alexander Memorial Historical Mystery Award for Best Historical Mystery of 2008, awarded at the mystery conference Left Coast Crime in March, 2009. Nox Dormienda was also nominated for a 2009 Macavity Award (the Sue Feder Memorial Historical Mystery Award). The Macavity is awarded annually by the members of Mystery Readers International.

Ms. Von Teese has been in two hardcore fetish films, as your article explixitly states. Hardcore fetish films fall under the broad umbrella of pornography, and subsequently it is accurate to label Ms. Von Teese as a pornographer.

If preserving the accuracy of Wikipedia is your goal, I encourage you to replace my edit, as it was not vandalism, without merit, or inaccurate. Dear IP user, I have reviewed this issue and agree with your edit. I think Webclient101 was overly aggressive in their anti-vandalism efforts when they accused you of vandalism. May I recommend you create an account here so that other editors are not as eager to assume you are vandalizing with your edits. It's not much effort and will help you get familiar with Wikipedia editing policies. Hi, I removed my warning. This sometimes happens when fighting vandalism and I'm sorry for making a mistake. I'm human and I make mistakes. A tip is if a vandal fighter reverts your edit and it's a mistake.

Fire Bomber is a fictional rock band from the anime series Macross 7 (and related projects such as Macross 7 Trash, Macross 7 Encore, and Macross Dynamite 7). In real life, Fire Bomber's music was performed by Yoshiki Fukuyama (as the singing voice and guitar of Basara), Chie Kajiura (as the singing voice of Mylene), and occasionally by Tomo Sakurai (the acting voice of Mylene). In the fictional world of Macross Fire Bomber were pivotal in the defeat of the alien Protodeviln after it was discovered that their music was the only thing capable of affecting them. Three of their songs were also featured in the 2008 series Macross Frontier, as SMS Skull Leader Ozma Lee is a fan of the band. In the second Macross Frontier Movie, Ranka Lee and other members of SMS acted as cover band of Fire Bomber (titled "Lovely Bomber") as part of a diversion to free Sheryl Nome from prison. ==Fictional line-up== Basara Nekki - Guitar and lead vocals Mylene Flare Jenius - Bass and back vocals Ray Lovelock - Keytar Veffidas Feaze - Drums ==Real line-up== Vocals - Yoshiki Fukuyama and Nobutoshi Hayashi (Basara Nekki) Vocals - Chie Kajiura and Tomo Sakurai (Mylene Jenius) Bass - Yukio Sugi Drums - Kazuo Sitay Lead Guitar - Yoshiki Fukuyama Guitar - Haruhiko Mera Guitar - Masaki Suzuki Keyboard - Seiji Tanaka ==Discography== LET'S FIRE!!.

This CD contains the complete radio program from all the radio broadcasts from Elma's radio and the Zola public radio in the Dynamite OVA. Most of the tracks on this CD are drama tracks. There are also different versions of Fire Bomber songs and songs by other artists. [http://www.seventhmoon.org/macross/fb/CDradiofire.html LIVE FIRE!! (1995).

== Heidolph user page == So I am about done wrapping up my under construction page and I wanted it to be reviewed first. Am I ready to go live and how do I do that? Thank you Evaporation Expert (talk) Presumably Evaporation Expert/Heidolph.  Chzz  ►  It is not ready to go live, because it looks like an advert; it does not have any inline references, and it only has two independent references. YouTube is not appropriate as a reference. Please review NPOV. Statements such as are not appropriate. See also BFAQ.  Chzz  ►  == Guinunez/Huarpe == Article about an extinct indigenous group, there is already an article on Spanish, Portuguese and French but not in English. I am not sure if the article is too short, I based this article on a similar group called Puelche and add it a little more based on the Spanish version Guinunez (talk) It has no references to reliable sources. Those are essential. See VRS and CITE, and FIRST. Wikipedia (any language) is not a reliable source.  Chzz  ►  Thanks Chzz for your feedback I have added several more sources now, most of them are printed books published on google, I'm not sure if it is better to link them there (I did that), and if it is better to link the specific page. Guinunez (talk) == Syren_Band == This article is about the band Syren who are made up of ex-members of the band Rockbitch. Erinbeyer87 (talk) There are problems with the references. The idea of refs is, so that the person reading the article can 'check the facts'. So, the first one quotes from a newspaper; instead, you need to give details of the paper - the title of the article, the page number, author, publisher, location. The second reference, "in an interview on Radio Beverwijk" is probably unverifiable, cannot be used. Same for the third. 4 is another Wikipedia article; that is not appropriate, Wikipedia itself cannot be used as a reference. 5 does not seem to mention Syren at all 6 says "DDA Agency, Purple Dragon Productions" and I do not know what this is, where I can check it. 7 (starfarer)...maybe OK, but probably isn't really a reliable source. 8 is a quote from a blog, and that definitely is not a reliable source. 9 and 10 are the bands website; such primary sources can be used, but only with care, for simple neutral facts; they cannot be used for e.g. or . See also NPOV 11 looks OK (as far as I can tell; I do not speak Dutch) 12 is again using the bands own website for a claim, "a 3 page article in Holland's Gitaar Plus Magazine" - if it was in the magazine, fine, then reference that - give date of publication, publisher, etc. 13 - facebook - definitely not appropriate 14 is RTV again; probably OK Overall, this needs a lot of fixing. Mostly, it is not verifiable. For these reasons, the article does not necessarily pass the notability guidelines; see also GNG and BAND. I'll copy this message to the article talk page.  Chzz  ►  == New unreviewed article/Duane Hopkins == I'm hoping this article is ok to go live soon, i'd appreciate some feedback to let me know how it's looking. Thanks. Northandy (talk) Actually, that was already in the live articles area - just with the name ""New unreviewed article/Duane Hopkins". An article in userspace has your user name as a prefix - for example, Chzz/test. You can make such pages using USERSPACEDRAFT. I moved the page to just Duane Hopkins. Overall, it looks OK; certainly better than most new articles. lacks a reference, and so sounds a bit promotional. There are too many external links. Probably, just one link to the 'official site' is appropriate. External links should not be used unless they provide info that cannot otherwise be included; see EL. This reference link does not seem to work. Also http://www.thirdfilms.co.uk/ just gives a 'holding page'. It would be better if you could add templates, to give more reference details - the website name, author, date, and so on. I've removed the 'unreviewed' tag. See DEVELOP, and maybe ask for a peer review, after addressing the concerns above.  Chzz  ►  == http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatel_International_Hospitality_School#History == The article has been cleaned of key statements which point it be an advert. As this is my first article i was unaware of using id for a group. Thus i am using ID now. This entity or company is a worldwide entity. Manojk297 (talk) It still seems quite promotional, because it contains non-neutral claims that are unreferenced, is largely referenced to 'campusfrance.org' which does not seem independent, and contains some unencyclopaedic information - see NOT. The external links to the worldwide sites are not appropriate, see EL. Examples of unreferenced claims include , most of 'History' e.g. In 1995, Vatel started expansion to Asia and Latin America and in the year 1997 two new Schools were opened in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. This was done through franchise, but the concept of education, the training methods and teaching materials remain the same throughout every school even today. With such rapid expansion Liaison offices were created in Shanghai (1997) and New Delhi (1998). They represent ‘Vatel Asia’ and fostered relationships with local universities and also facilitated student exchanges. Thereafter Vatel joins CampusFrance, an agency created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Education which is responsible for promoting French higher education in the world.  Chzz  ►  == Pahaquarry Copper Mine == Created new entry for this historic mine. Plan to add links back from several other articles after review. Zeete (talk) A couple of formatting things which I have fixed; Refs should appear directly after punctuation, no space. E.g. born in 1901.... not born in 1901. ... 1650's should be just 1650s Mostly, it looks OK, just be careful of seemingly unreferenced sections, for example has no reference. Also "Geology" has just one reference at the end - maybe that covers the facts, but if so, that can be confusing if later someone adds in the middle. So it's best to add a reference at the end of every sentence. I noticed that you use a source, ""Pahaquarry Copper Mine, Final Cultural Landscape Report", several times - but different pages. That's all fine, but if you wanted to avoid the duplication, you might be interested in 'Harvard-style referencing'; see Chzz/help/harvard. "Books and articles" should probably be a section headed == Further reading ==. It'd be neater with bullet-points at the start of each, using an asterisk *. And you might want to make them into the same 'style' as the references, by putting at the start and at the end. I removed the 'unreviewed' tag.  Chzz  ►  == http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave%27s_One_Night_Stand == Hello. I just want to check that the page that has been created is ok to use? It is for a new comedy show on the Dave TV channel starting this Sunday. I will add some reviews of the show when they appear online to provide confirmation of its notability. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave%27s_One_Night_Stand I would like to add an image to the page too. What is the best way of doing this? Can I link to an image elsewhere? Many thanks for your time Westerveld Westerveld (talk) Dave's One Night Stand was deleted as G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion, so I can't see it. Speak to the admin who deleted it, if you wish, Eagles247.  Chzz  ►  == Computation of radiowave attenuation in the atmosphere == I need some specialist in Applied Mathematics specialized in Electromagnetic Wave Propagation to review the short article Computation of radiowave attenuation in the atmosphere Many thanks. Thuytnguyen48 (talk) As a non-specialist, and indeed non-mathematician, I can at least provide some feedback; You don't need an == Introduction == heading. Articles should always start, with no heading, with a paragraph or two describing the topic, with the name in bold. So, Computation of radiowave attenuation in the atmosphere is the....whatever on Earth it is The pictures should be 'thumbnailed' - ie , which puts it into a nice little box, to the right, with a caption (as shown right here). The size of the thumbnails is then set by users reading it, in their preferences; this is the correct way to do things. Don't force huge images on people - they can always click for bigger. The formulae would look a lot better if you used math notation, so please see Displaying a formula. Don't over-capitalize words, for example; Wikilinks don't care if they are initial-caps; Sausage and sausage work just the same: Sausage and sausage. If you need to link from one word to another, it's e.g. - makes: I am a dentist. Do not write it in 'lecture form' - just state the facts. So, for example, change; Note that the algorithm does not guaranty that the target is actually reached to; The algorithm does not guarantee that the target is reached Similarly, avoid exclamation marks. So change; For this, a much harder boundary value problem would have to be solved! to To achieve this, a much harder boundary value problem would have to be solved. Some of that looks like original research though. As a non-expert, I cannot really tell; however, statements such as those in the 'conclusion' are certainly not appropriate, without references. It sounds like opinion, not actual verifiable fact; e.g. , , . For actual expert help though, you're better asking on WikiProject Mathematics. You might also wish to browse Manual of Style (mathematics). Cheers,  Chzz  ►  == Simon Levy == How do I post this page? Thanks for the help. Have made the reference additions. Lisa Pelikan (talk) Looks like you managed it; 06:49, 7 October 2010 Lisa Pelikan (moved User:Lisa Pelikan/Simon Levy to Simon Levy) I removed the 'representation' section; email addresses and telephone numbers are not appropriate. Lots of it is unreferenced. Remember that anyone can remove unreferenced info. For example, all of "Biography" is unreferenced; where can we check these facts? What happens if another editor changes it - how can we tell who is correct? Please add references, or remove unverifiable content. Example, Finalist for the PEN Award in Drama. He has also adapted Fitzerald's Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon. In 2010 he directed the Los Angeles Premiere of Michael Hollinger's Opus ... and is producing the U.S. Premiere of Athol Fugard's latest play The Train Driver. In 2011 he'll direct the West Coast Premiere of Tennessee Williams' last play A House Not Meant to Stand.  Chzz  ►  == http://www.fxstreet.com/search/contributors/authors/author.aspx?id=26493ad0-2d95-496a-a9c2-19eeeda52033 == I think he is a very important and notable man to Iranians around the world as he is the only famous FX & commodity analyst of Iranian origin in the world and has gained a very good reputation in media and expert forums in Iran, so I decided to introduce him to wikipedia as a source to find notable persons. What do you think? do you think I should add up some lines to this article or it is OK with the current version? Thanks everybody on Wikipedia Partovi (talk) I assume you mean S.A Ghafari (Iranian Commodity & FX Analyst). It needs inline references. Also, it is not neutral; ...one of the most respected FX & Commodity analysts of Iranian origin. He was born on 21 September 1980 in Mashhad, Iran from his father, a famous judge and a house wife mother. He graduated in Mechanical Engineering in 2002 from a highly ranked public university in Iran. He first introduced to TSE (Tehran Stock Exchange) in early 1998 and soon became one of the only analysts of its kind in Iran. Some of it is just plain opinion, and not acceptable, e.g.  Chzz  ►  == Mbaish/Enter your new article name here == Hi, I've followed wiki standtards for writting Events articles. I'd like to know if this article complies with it. Also, I've read and read guidelines but can't figure out how to put the name to the article of have a good layout. The layout of the page seems odd. Thanks for the help. Mbaish (talk) I fixed the formatting with this edit. A lot of the facts have no reference, for example; From 1989 to 1995 all editions of the National MBA Games where held at Queen's University. Starting in 1996 rounds where created so different Universities would host the event each year. From 2001 on, the receipient of the previous year's Queen's Cup has the right to host next year's edition. If the Queen's Cup holder was also the host or is not interested on hosting, another interested University is allowed become the host. Please try to add information from independent sources, for example newspaper articles. To change the name, or to make it live, you move it - but please don't make it live until everything is verifiable, with inline references.  Chzz  ►  Chzz many thanks for the help answering all my questions. And for your post on how to Thank people who help :) Mbaish (talk) == Mohammed AlSharekh == Need to what all to do to make the article wikipedia ready. Debolina Sengupta This has no references at all, and therefore could be deleted. reliable sources are essential. It makes highly opinionated claims, with no proof, for example . To add inline references, see CITE. Please remove any claims that cannot be verified.  Chzz  ►  == Stukeley Westcott == This article is third in a series of early Rhode Island settlers, following William Arnold (settler) and Benedict Arnold (governor) Sarnold17 (talk) I've made some minor formatting edits; see page history. Roger Williams links to a disambiguation page, please fix that. Please remove links to England - too common a term to link; OVERLINK. Consider adding an infobox, . Please add . I moved the picture "Original Providence Rhode Island town layout of homesteads" over to the right; it is against guidelines to have an image left-aligned at the start of a section. I also removed the forced image size (400px) from that picture; unless there is a very very good reason, it's best to leave everything unsized, so that the reader can choose their own thumb size in preferences. It would be nice to add ALT text to the images. In "King Philip's War" re. death/will, it says - I'm not sure what that means. Is the date uncertain? It needs explaining, or a footnote or something. Mostly, it looks good. I'll remove the unreviewed that. I suggest you nominate it for 'Did you know...' to appear on the main page, see DYKS. Beyond that, get a peer review and head towards good article status. Best,  Chzz  ►  Yes, looks quite good. Minor point - you state that "King Philip's War which was the outcome of severe friction between the Narragansett Indians and the English settlers". It involved many groups of indigenous people other than just the Narragansett. Some other groups are listed in King Philip's War (and I note that page omits the Massaco, who wiped out a town, but that's an aside I'll try to address later) @Chzz The original source actually used "12 Jan. 1676/7, aged about 85" See here but scroll to next page I'm just speculating, but I've been reading some of the 17th century records of the colony of Connecticut, and I noticed that when they switch to a new year, they often retain the old year for a few weeks. I don't know why this was done, whether it was simply a habit (like with old paper checks) or some other convention, but it does happen quite regularly. On the one hand, I'm fairly certain this means that we would not write 12 Jan 1677, but this is OR, so I'm not quite sure what to do, absent clarify on historical practices.--SPhilbrickT

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page. The result was no consensus. I'm closing this early, as it is becoming fast apparent that we won't obtain a consensus to delete at this time. I recommend to re-evaluate the situation in a few weeks when this situation is entirely resolved and no longer headline news. This does not preclude discussion about a possible consensus-based merger to the appropriate article about the event.  Sandstein  ===Richard Phillips (captain)=== () – (View AfD)(View log) As much as I hate to do this, Captain Richard Philips fails WP:ONEEVENT, he only has an article here now becuase of the media attention surrounding the attempted capture of the freighter and his surrender to the Somalian pirates in exchange for his crew's safety. Therefore, I believe the article should of either be deleted or redirect and protected until this whole fiasco sorts itself out. TomStar81 (Talk) Keep! I'm a Brit.Wikipedida is one of my first port of calls when i try to look at a background to a news item. its useful. John Ellero Delete and salt TomStar81 (Talk) Redirect to MV_Maersk_Alabama#Hijacking. Known for one event, but a plausible search term. JJL (talk) Keep for now. WP:ONEEVENT seems inconsistenly enforced. See Chesley Sullenberger. Although WP:ONEEVENT is part of a hard policy, the subject's potential notability as part of a historical event (the first successful pirate attack on a US-flagged ship in months? years?) argues against hasty deletion. (JJL's suggestion about redirect is a good fallback. Keep. I think that this is an important current event though I may be personally bias due to my connections with the captain. Sanitas (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.243.201 (talk) Weak keep Possibly important enough. I think to delete the article while the event is so unresolved is a rush to judgment. DGG (talk) Keep fore Now and maybe later - He is the focus of an international incident, although a lessor profile than Terry A. Anderson. Dinkytown Delete but merge into the article about the attack. The attack is the notable incident as per all the WP:RS at this time (this provides some distinction with the Sullenberger article, although I will not push that point any further). The thing about WP:OneEvent is not so much that it gives a definite answer as to the article's notability, but that it protects otherwise non-public individual biographies from veering off topic. This is a prime example. What is notable per the standards is the attack, not necessarily the individual, and any of the relevant information can be easily, and more coherently discussed in the parent attack article, rather than in this article. Shadowjams (talk) Keep Certainly any other crew member of the ship would fall foul of WP:ONEEVENT, but Phillips has a major role in this major event. Over The Desk (talk) Redirect to the Maerske Alabama article - and create a redirect 'Alabama hijacking' to that as well (Maerske not being an easy word for some...). Captain Phillips's actions are part of the whole thing. If he does it again on another occasion, a separate article would probably be justified. Peridon (talk) Redirect per ONEEVENT and BLP concerns. Skinny87 (talk) Redirect to MV Maersk Alabama, the article is way too short. 98.119.177.171 (talk) Note: This debate has been included in the list of Living people-related deletion discussions. Keep. The Somali pirates fired at a U.S. ship. His one event could end up leading to a lot more. Jonathan321 (talk) Merge & Redir to MV Maersk Alabama - at the moment its a ONEEVENT, only time will tell if something further comes from the events currently playing out. For all we know, He may be the cause of further events. Attack upon bases of Piracy in Somalia ??? Exit2DOS2000•T•C• Keep or redirect His name as a search term is pretty necessary Redirect to MV Maersk Alabama. Popular and important search term, but current notability sketchy, and the article itself is very sparse. Keep for now, with a final decision to be made after this situation is resolved. Keep - the guy just got rescued, and his personal story of the entire event and rescue will be splashed all over the news for weeks. Rklawton (talk) keep popular Redirect not enough information, and only notable for one event at the moment Keep for now, with the caveat that the article should be revisited in a month or so to verify that its as notable as we think it is. Umbralcorax (talk) Keep--notable as the first American taken by pirates since 1804, according to major media news reports. This article will grow in sourced information as the story develops, but even after the initial news surge dies down, Phillips will remain notable for this distinction.

Hopefully now other editors wont have to worry about that unregistered person believing that he owns the page. DietLimeCola Please look at the page history. If you will, you will see that DietLimeCola showed up there as a vandal a few weeks ago. When the POV and fancruft they added were deleted, DLC started an edit war on the page, using either sockpuppets, or friends with different user names editing the article from the same computer. Either way, it's the same thing. The article was fully protected for almost 2 weeks, during which time DLC appeared to become contrite and willing to work with the community. As soon as the protection was lifted (by my request), DLC began to edit the article using poor grammer and sentence structure, and adding POV. Take a look at the edits made during the past 24 hours, and decide for yourself who is damaging the page. If anybody is intent on having their own way with the page, it's DietLimeCola. Most of the kind of edits this user is adding have long ago been discussed and discounted by the community, but DLC is not willing to accept that. I have just finished cleaning up the page again: I suggest that you go there later today, and look to see if DLC has changed it again. Pay particular attention to the sentence structure and grammer, neither of which is up to Wikipedia standards. I and a few others have been keeping this article cleaned up and meeting Wikipedia standards for months. Now DietLimeCola has decided to "own" the page, and is not willing to accept the will of the community. Is this how Wikipedia is supposed to work? I think not. ==Unprotection of Bindi Irwin== Just letting you know I've unprotected the article on Bindi Irwin. Please check the article history in future.

Ralbot == Hello Messedrocker, == Hello, I am the anon who has been working on the soybean article, biological value, and other articles. I was going to add more info to the articles including soy protein but you blocked it. If you approve of my edits in the soybean article then why did you block the other articles. I want you to block all the article or unblock all the articles. Not blocking the soy article and blocking the arrticles is contradicting yourself. Why? Because I am the one you and others sre calling a sock. You you don't like a sock then why the heck you did not block the soybean article too. Go block the soybean article too to make it official buddy. I can open as many accounts as I please. There is no policy against having 1 million accounts. In facts it is none of anyone's business. You can block all you want buddy. I consider your blocks a personal attack. I am not being disruptive buddy. Please block the soybean article now. Yankee76 has been policeing me and wikistalking me and HE has broke the 3 revert rule and then you have the oddessity to accuse me of being disruptive and then say my anon edits to the soybean article meets with your delight and approval. You are a joke! I demand you block the soybean article right now because now I am REALLY MAD. After all my hours of hard work you call me disruptive.

If you take a close look at the history Yankees76 he has BROKE the 3 revet rule. Again, this is REVERT WARRING that show absolutely no sign of stopping. I think the only solution for now is LOCK UP ALL THE ARTICLES RIGHT NOW!!! If you don't the WAR will continue. Just fully protect the article for only a week. Just one week for things to cool off!!! Please don't let this CRAZYNESS WARRING continue. Again, block everyone from editting until things cool off. I am ready for anything either way.

He is playing double dutch with himself and his puppets. Has created many puppets to have articles semi-protected to potentially make POV edits to his prefered version. Has made strange reverts back and forth. Just look here below: There are a few other articles too. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soy_protein&diff=84737970&oldid=84722550 ★MESSED]]ROCKER★ I could care less about his socks. The only thing I care about is the article. What could be done to stop him from putting incorrect information in the article. He swings back and forth with information. 67.150.255.120 One thing I notice is that when he removed it the first time, the information had no source. Then when he re-added it, there was some sort of sourcing. Maybe his concerns are about sourcing in the article. ★MESSEDROCKER★ Actually, there was a source there when it was originally removed. Perhaps he removed the information thinking it was false, then he realized there was a source and re-added the information. It's best that you assume good faith. ★MESSEDROCKER★ That was the case. I requested that the anon user provide a source - see his/her talk page - they returned with the edit and the source. Yankees76 Correct Info Below. ===Biological value of soy protein=== Main Article: Biological Value Another measure of a protein's use in nutrition is the Biological Value scale. The Biological Value method, which dates back to 1911 relies on nitrogen retention as an indicator of protein quality. However, it does not take into account certain factors influencing the digestion of the protein. A 1983 study by researcher E. Renner indicated soybean has a BV value of 74 compared to egg at 100. Soy protein has a lower protein value than all animal sources of protein for muscle growth according to the BV methodology. Nonetheless, the Biological Value (BV) methodology is an accurate indicator of biological activity for protein quality and utilization in humans. Mendel and Fine (1911-1912) made the interesting observation that soybeans produce a positive nitrogen(N) balance in a human subject. Correct Info Above. FAKE INFO BELOW: Many N-studies since then have confirmed the fact that the digestibility and biological value of soy protein for humans is comparable in nutritional value and quality to animal proteins. Also, look at Yankees76 comments in the talk page. He claims the information is false and fact at the same time. He is playing it both ways. I believe he added the info with one of his anon IP socks. Then instead of removing the "vandal" info his strawman arguement is to assume good faith. This has gone long enough with that double talker. I have provided many many references. CASE CLOSED!!! == RE:POV Editor == Anon: I'll gladly submit to a RFCU for any trumped-up sockpuppet you can put me down has puppeteering. In fact now that you've accused me here on another users talk page I demand that you prove these allegations. If you really want the truth Messedrocker, the anonymous user here on your talk page has already been proven to be a sockpuppet/puppet master. After I suspected that this user was using socks to avoid scrutiny by other editors and dodge warnings, rather than going around on talk pages making accusations about this disruption and sockpuppets, I was actually following the proper channels. First with a sock puppet posting on the notice board Suspected sock puppets/Messenger2010 then after review, I followed with a checkuser that determined the anonymous user calling for my ban here on your talk page has been running a nice little sockpuppet ring. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Messenger2010. So as you can see, I'm hardly the one who is playing games here. The fact that I'm being called a puppeteer is ludicrous. Also, calling me a nut, a double talker etc. is yet another instance of this user being uncivil/making personal attacks. For which I've also filed a notice on the personal attack intervention noticeboard. to the anon user, or AndyCanada or whatever sock user name you prefer, as the saying goes - put up or shut up - prove that I'm a puppeteer. Your allegations against me are here for all to see. Now let's see some proof.

The Eagle Mine is an abandoned mine owned by Viacom International near the abandoned town of Gilman and about one mile south east of Minturn in the U.S. state of Colorado. The mining began in the 1880s, initially for gold and silver but predominately zinc during later stages of its operation. The mine closed in 1984 and became an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund site. After the closure of the mine and the abandonment of Gilman, a area, which included 8 million tons of mine waste, were designated a Superfund site by the EPA and placed on the National Priorities List in 1986. According to the EPA, the mining operations left large amounts of arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc in the soil, and led to large fish kills in the Eagle River and threatened drinking water in the town of Minturn downstream on the Eagle River. The clean-up plan, implemented beginning in 1988 included plugging and flooding the Eagle Mine, collecting and treating mine and ground water in a new treatment plant, as well as removing, treating and capping the mine waste products. A report by the EPA in 2000 concluded that clean-up operations had substantially reduced public health risks and improved the water quality in the Eagle River. The State of Colorado also has pursued separate parallel efforts at cleanup and has reached agreements with Viacom regarding treatment of the site. ==See also== List of Superfund sites in Colorado Mining in the United States ==References== ==External links== EPA Report 1998 ROD/R08-98/079 - includes mine history.

Welcome to Wikipedia! Please do not remove cited information from Afghanistan - if you have concerns, I invite you to discuss them on the talk page. Regards, – Riana ⁂ pleade don't accuse me of something when you are wrong. Double sentences with double cited info must be removed. read first before you talk. You seem to be new to this place, so I will give you 2 pointers. There is nothing wrong with more than one citation in a sentence. It is actually a good thing. If you can find more than one source to back up a piece of information, this means that information is more likely to be true. Please don't tell people to 'read before they talk'. This is a collaborative project, and you may put people off with that kind of attitude. I encourage you to read about civility when conversing with other users. Best wishes, – Riana ⁂ I said read the disputed area on the article before you learn what I am trying to fix, the cited info is stated 2 times in the same place.

The Google Video posted as reference had no sound, so I removed the link to it, and the material that was referenced with it. Balcer My bad, the sound works, it was a problem on my end. Balcer The entry was extremely biased. In fact, this wiki was edited by someone who runs a website (http://www.polandinjustice.com/) that obviously has a personal vendetta, therefore i removed the anti-Polonist statements. In fact, the previous editor even links to this entry from his website which proves an obvious bias. Do we really need to know that a father & his son from a nearby village were treated poorly by Poles? No, we don't. How does it relate to the history of this town? It doesn't therefore I removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.11.19 (talk) Once again someone is finding it necessary to add content that adds absolutely NOTHING to the history of the town of Radziejow. It is heresay first of all. Second, the person adding this has a personal bias as the source of his information is his OWN FATHER. The author hosts a website that links to this article, therefore I see many biases in these additions and prefer to keep them out. Not to mention they border on anti-Polonism, of which the author is guilty as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.152.10.41 (talk) Whoever keeps reverting the page is not giving reasons and has not even answered WHY they should be kept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.152.10.41 (talk) ==Undue weight concerns== There is a sizable blog out there at http://radziejow.blogspot.com/ which is entitled "Poland Injustice: One man's struggle against the continuing injustice of an anti-semitic Polish village against his family", with the village in question being the town of Radziejów. With a title like that, I don't believe the author has a neutral point of view, so essential to Wikipedia. If someone connected to the blog is making controversial changes here (and given the obscurity of Radziejow that is very likely), I invite him/her to rethink their attitude. Specifically, while I can understand the pain of someone whose family was mistreated in that town, that personal experience cannot be given extensive treatment in this article, which is after all about a modern European town in all its aspects. Please see Neutral point of view#Undue_weight for Wikipedia policy in this matter. 74.15.21.141 (talk) That is exactly what is/was happening. I called this person out on it previously. Unacceptable. Hopefully it's stopped now. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.50.50 (talk)

== Divide list even further == I think that this list should be subdivided into separate state pages. This page is long, and would be easier to read if it were divided by state. Just my two cents, anybody else want to chime in? No one's going to read a list of towns that could have beaches in them. == unusable == This article is unusable and of no value. It has about 15 beaches, with all links to blank pages, between far more towns and cities, which are listed regardless of whether they have any beach or coastline at all. The state of Vermont, which has no oceanfront, is here. This reads like a list of cities and towns in New England more than of beaches. I agree that this article is very weak. However, Vermont does have beaches (on Lake Champlain). I wouldn't say they are great beaches, but they're there nonetheless. Why list cities like Andover, Connecticut in an article titles "list of beaches in New England"? They have no beaches. Their articles have no beaches listed. If someone could trim this list down to useful size (only communities with actual beaches, or even communities that MENTION beaches on their articles), it just might cease to be useless. Since some people clearly think this article is worth saving, I've begun the process of making it useful. I have deleted all cities/towns in Rhode Island that simply could not have beaches based on location alone. Also added a few beaches. If this can be done for all the states, we just might have an article of some value. Seriously a useless article currently. WildlifeAnalysis Fucking useless. Nominate it for deletion. I see that nobody has taken this to AfD as of yet. I think the list is kind of silly as it is too. However I do think that with research it can be improved. Just a quick glance at the list of towns and I see several that have beaches that aren't listed. I'm going to erase all the towns without current beach listings for now and then I'm going to come back and add in listings as I research them. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) == Better == There are actually beaches on here now. This article has some use. Keep up the good work. Also, try to get some sources on the page if you can. == Map == This article would greatly benefit from maps, say, one for each state, with beach locations indicated. Anyone wants to get a start on this, go ahead. ==Links== It's slightly absurd that we have redlinks for almost every beach listed. Let's face it: an article on Nauset Light Beach might be OK, but individual articles on Nauset Light Beach 1, Nauset Light Beach 2, and Nauset Light Beach 3 just aren't going to happen. Do we agree on the need to cut down on some links? Biruitorul

Many of the First Nations call themselves by names other than the names we know. The use of the term "Iroquois," applied to the Haudenosaunee, is a case in point. The term was originally used by the Huron (Wyandotte) as an insult. The French (who were also enemies of the Haudenosaunee) picked up the term. Since it was an insult, rather than the name they called themselves, it is worth a paragraph IMHO. However, there are many cases where the name commonly used by English-speakers is not the one the people themselves use. It might be nice if we could come up with a convention for handling this. For the time being, I have simply put the alternative name in brackets. I would welcome any thoughts on how best to handle this. Sunray 21:46, 2003 Dec 8 (UTC) and they used shit to clear choughs I beg to differ. "First Nations" is never used to refer to American Native Americans. When I read that, I came here to ask if it should be changed, because, to me, it is specifically Canada-related. RickK - That's incorrect. "First Nations" is occasionally used in the United States. See the Wikipedia article about "First Nations." There are plenty of Iroquois in the US too. I am completely aware of that. That's why I advocate changing First Nations to Native Americans. RickK I was agreeing you, not disputing you. Actually the term doesn't matter to me. The Iroquois I know happen call themselves "Indians", for what it's worth. This article is somewhat defective, however, in that "Iroquois" is certainly not synonomous with "Iroquois Confederacy", which was a specific political movement about Iroquois-speaking peoples. although you can argue that we say "France" the "French" are the same, so maybe it's appropriate to equate the two. Decumanus, I am OK with most of your edit, but can't understand why you changed "upstate" to "western" New York. The Mohawk nation most definitely occupied eastern New York (the Hudson and Mohawk valleys), so "upstate" is therefore the more accurate term. Much of the territory occupied would be also described "central" NY; only the Senecas being truly in the western portion of the present state. Pollinator 22:45, Jun 3, 2004 (UTC) I'm chuckling a little. I live in Staten Island, so it's all "western New York" to me. Just perception, really. Your wording is defintely more accurate.:) == Haudenosaunee == I have added Haudenosaunee as the name for the Confederacy. I had always heard them as synonyms, as opposed to the definition of Haudenosaunee given on WP. Do these need to be merged? Also, shouldn't this article be at Iroquois Confederacy? - BanyanTree Just merged it in. The Haudenosaunee article was only a facsimile of a more in depth paragraph in this entry. Leaving this article titled "Iroquois" is inappropriate. As noted in the article, the term Iroquois is an insulting name applied by the league's long-time enemies, the French and Wyandotts. The people call themselves Haudenosaunee. This is tantamount to titling an article on Italians "Guineas", or one on Poles "Pollacks". While I understand that Iroquois is the more commonly known name, all searches of either term lead to this article. Why use an ethnic slur as the title and put the correct name in parentheses? I agree with this; it's actually the first thing I thought of when I visited this article. It seems to be becoming more common in central New York. The Syracuse Post-Standard recently had a special feature article on the Onondaga Nation where they made exclusive use of Haudenosaunee (with an explanation of it's preference to "Iroquois".) While it may be historically congruent, it's culturally insensitive. Jestermonkey I intend to rename this article to Haudenosaunee, and make Iroquois re-direct to Haudenosaunee. I understand the argument that Iroquois is the name normally used in the English language. However, the English language is changing. Authorities in Canada are starting to adopt the names traditionally used by indigenous peoples in their native languages, like Haudenosaunee. Government documents, newspapers, textbooks, and so-on show evidence of this change. Kesahun While of course it is not binding on Wikipedia, Article 14 of the United Nations Draft Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous peoples states: Indigenous peoples have the right to revitalize, use, develop and transmit to future generations their histories, languages, oral traditions, philosophies, writing systems and literatures, and to designate and retain their own names for communities, places and persons. Kesahun Could someone add a sound file with the pronunceation of "Haudenosaunee" (.ogg?) or a phonetic spelling? That would help my understanding of the topic a lot. I think I would be helpful in many other related articles too! Thanks, Mike McGregor (Can) Haudenosaunee/Rotinosionni/Hotinosionni= HO-dih-nah-show-nee —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.152.185.147 (talk) This is really not good enough, pseudo-phonetic English rarely is. Again, can anyone give the pronunciation in a sound file or (preferably)in IPA? Causantin (talk) The page Haudenosaunee was merged here, and Iroquois is the common name. Someone tried a cut-and-paste move of this article but that messes up the article histories as well as being a conflict with Wikipedia common naming standards. With so many people mentioning in this discussion topic that they support the name Haudenosaunee as the name for the article why hasn't it already been changed? It is the correct name for the people, we don't label African-American article as "negro" or worse. The term Iroqouis is just as bad as that worse name. Just because white people don't get it doesnt mean it isnt insulting and wrong. 24.182.142.254 (talk) == Invasion/Colonization == I changed this text: In 1720 the Tuscarora fled north from the European invasion of North Carolina and petitioned to become the Sixth Nation. to this: In 1720 the Tuscarora fled north from the European colonization of North Carolina and petitioned to become the Sixth Nation. The term "invasion" in this instance is POV, and less accurate than the term "colonization" Well the Tuscarora already lived there and considered it their land collectively, so do you suppose they viewed a new arrival who arbitrarily claimed it as their own as a coloniser or as an invader? And placed in that same situation what would you call the new arrival? LamontCranston I don't see invasion as any more or less POV than colonization. While invasion implies violence or militarism and colonisation implies peaceful "moving in," the fact is that there was a mixture of both. There were explorers, settlers who build homes and planted crops, settlers who actively went out into areas and shot people, settlers whose only contact with natives was trade, actual armies sometimes, and ultimately the Tuscarora had to "flee" == material copied without attribution == This article appears to be a wholesale copy of material from the site www.sixnations.org If used with permission, that should be noted. In any event, there should be proper attribution. It is unlikely that the people described in the article will appreciate the recent change that recharacterizes an invasion of Tuscarora territory as a "colonization" ==Rome and the Druids among other tangents== This had been recently added to the article. At the least, the writing style is unencylopedic. And I doubt that the mention of Rome and Druids is very pertinent here. Please feel free to reincorporate what is of value here back into the article. older≠wiser 02:14, July 11, 2005 (UTC) There exists another, perhaps more compelling, version explaining the origin of the word "Iroquois"; as the French combination of two distinct In considering what may or may not have been insults of the past; we as readers/interpreters of a modern view must consider that the same alleged insults may actually have been statements expressing fear, in the sense of an attempt to degrade via misrepresentation the lives and ways of an entire people. This kind of slander is known to have been used by ancient Rome. Also Ancient Rome was accustomed to completely ignoring the views of local authorities with whom they had had agreements or relationships. See the link regarding Boadicea as a case in point: http://www.royalty.nu/Europe/England/Boadicea.html Please see comments regarding Roman propaganda and the prescript or rule of Augustus forbiding the practice of Druidic rituals (See Druid). Such views would not have been supported or used had they not been effective in affecting how other Romans would see the Druids (or whoever else the propaganda was directed against) and determinedly undermine how Romans interacted with Druids or those peoples who followed the Druid ways. Other ancient events where propaganda can be said to have played a role in events are the Great Fire of Rome and the Destruction of the Great Library of Alexandria (See Library_of_Alexandria#Destruction_of_the_Great_Library). The Druids, and perhaps many other non-Roman nations in fact provided a firm, consistent and informed resistence against Rome. The participants and writers developing the nascent US government addressed and compared the Haudenosaunee and their ways to a state of achievement in administrative self-governance which Rome itself never reached and which they hoped the US would aspire to and achieve. It is in especially in this light that the slander created by the Hurons must be taken into context for what it may in fact be; a grudging expression of both fear and repect, or perhaps even praise for an old and dangerous enemy. Just as Ancient Rome used propaganda against those who resisted it; which in time was later also used by Roman Christians against Pagans (refer to aforementioned references regarding the Great Library). There may be a different kind of problem with the link identified as the official website of the Haudenosaunee. The link known as: http://sixnations.buffnet.net/ The website may have a presence or support problem or other difficulty. I have sent emails to each contact provided on that site where it is listed for the purposes of making contact with someone and all have bounced back to me. My email software clearly lists that of the email addresses provided at the website either the addresses are not "valid" OR the "users are unknown". In any case, a different and yet useful reference in learning about the Haudenosaunee exists here: http://www.ratical.org/many_worlds/6Nations/index.html The Iroquois nations' political union and democratic government has been credited as one of the influences on the United States Constitution. See Figure 31 at this link: http://www.ratical.org/many_worlds/6Nations/EoL/chp8.html#fig31 == Druids, Romans and relationship to the Iroquois confederacy == I read the prior critique and considered it useful. If I were writing a tome regarding the history of propaganda or slander as a political tool of control, then I might be excused for the digressions in the areas I made. However, my intent in weaving my comments here were more narrow and as such I cut out the other references because they are not central to my original intent of providing a different researched view of the origin of the word Iroquois. == Regarding the Official Iroquios Confederacy website == It should be noted somewhere by others the following: There may be a problem with the link identified as the official website of the Haudenosaunee.

Please take a look over it and make suggestions. ==Passports== I added a short edit based on reading a passage in a news story. As Frichner travels the world, she uses an unusual passport. Appointed as a delegate of the Haudenosaunee to the United Nations Subcommittee on Human Rights, Frichner travels with a passport issued by Haudenosaunee, Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. 'It is not easy to travel on. Wherever I go, I make sure I have a visa to travel to that nation.' Frichner recently went to South Africa to the World Conference on Racism sponsored by the United Nations Human Rights Commission SchmuckyTheCat ==Feedback from Historian== The Wikipedia Help mailing list has received the following e-mail from a reader, a history graduate at the University of Pennsylvania: "The United States Constitution was partly modelled on the Iroquois League Constitution." This is presented as a statement of fact, which is highly questionable. Question 1: Who "modelled" the US Constitution on the Iroquois League Constitution? Question 2: Further, WHAT specifically was modelled into the U.S. Constitution from the Iroquois? If "The Confederacy was based, at the time of the arrival of the Europeans, in what is now upstate New York, as well as parts of Pennsylvania, Ontario, and Quebec", how is it that it got incorporated by James Madison, into the U.S. Constitution, who was from VIRGINIA? Further, where did James Madison pick up his copy of the "wampum" from the Iroquois? My conclusion is that whoever wrote this little article, was exercising in wishful thinking or "Revisionalism" of U.S. History. What and where are their historical REFERENCES? In my reply I will note the existing caveat about many historians not being convinced. However, the quote from the historian has a footnote but the footnote is not listed anywhere. Would it be possible to either provide the footnote or provide another quote from a reputable historian doubting the claims. Thanks for all the work on the article. Capitalistroadster I think your history graduate didn't probe very much and needs to delve a little deeper. I browsed the six nations web site and found three relevant footnotes citing authoritative sources. (There may be more). Footnotes 18 and 19 show that the Iroquois were present at sessions of the Continental Congress. I couldn't say whether or not they were present at the Constitutional Convention, but that point is irrelevant. Some of the delegates there were almost certainly aware of the views of the Iroquois. Footnote 30 shows that Adams (and I suspect other founders) considered the Iroquois model as well as several other forms of government when they crafted ours. As for Franklin and Jefferson, he also might want to check out The Forgotten Founders, which includes a very rich list of primary and secondary sources. Vern Reisenleiter I have included a link and excerpt (hopefully not overlengthy) from what appears to be an excellent and balanced investigation of the dispute by Brian Cook. I feel this is a valuable resource about the controversy. If the suggestion that whites helped draft the Haudensaunee constitution is considered racist, why is the suggestion that the Haudensaunee helped draft the U.S. constitution not considered likewise? Joescallan == The Iroquois had no influence on the U.S. Constitution except as a general example of unity or confederation == It's quite correct that some statesmen, both Iroquois and colonial, remarked rhetorically that the colonists ought to be better united, and that some of them pointed out the Iroquois as an example of several entities that had managed to form a league, the idea being "If they can unite, so can you." But that is the extent of "Iroquois influence on the U.S. Constitution." It is not at all true that the U.S. Federal system is "based on" or "copied from" the structure of the League. The fact is that the people of the thirteen British colonies, which became the United States, had no notion of Native American political or social organization, and no idea how the Iroquois League was organized. Anyone can verify this by reading the Federalist Papers, which are full of descriptions and analyses of European political systems ancient and contemporary, but nothing about the Iroquois or any other Native American system of governance. The authors were absolutely ignorant on the latter subject, as were the entire citizenry of those colonies. Tom129.93.17.66 The average colonist may not have been very informed, but several of the founding fathers had personal contact with the Iroquois. 'Any other' is less relevant; the socio-governmental system of the League stood out. It would make sense to look at the example of a succesful neighbour rather than copy the old world that you left for a better future. Guido den Broeder (talk) A few problems: At the time, the Iroquois were not a succcessful neighbor, but a recently conquered enemy. They were conquered in part because their federation had broken, pitting nation against nation. Those of the 1787 conventioneers who most clearly set the outlines of the new document had the least experience with Iroquois. In later discussions and memoirs, they mentioned many examples and theories, but not the Iroquois. Even if well founded, such hypotheses would be much more relevant in a discussion of the new document, than here. Jim.henderson (talk) FYI, the Iroquois were never conquered. They have their own government, judicial system, flag and passport. Guido den Broeder (talk) == Deganawidah and Hiawatha == Deganawidah had the orenda,the inner spiritaul power of genius. Hiawatha was his speechmaker. The relationship riminds one of that of Moses and Aaron in the Old Testament ;it was Moses who conferred on the moutaintops with the Lord,while Aaron spoke to the people on behalf of his tonge-tied brother. After Deganawidah had concieved the idea of the League of the Iroquios, Hiawatha paddled his white canoe from tribe to tribe, persuading them to consider the plan. The last to agree was the onondaga, whose chief, fierce Atatarho, insisted that his tribe must have chairmanship of the council. Finallt they hammered out the code that began, “I, Deganawidah, and the Confederate Chiefs, now uproot the tallest pine tree, and into the cavity thereby made we cast all weapons of war. Into the depths of the earth, deep down into thbe underearth currents of water flowing to unknown regions, we cast all weapons of strife. We bury them from sight and we plant again thge tree thus shall the Great Peace be established.” ==Paragraph removed from article== I removed this from the article: "There exists another, perhaps more compelling, version explaining the origin of the word "Iroquois," as the French combination of two distinct terms used in the language of the Haudenosaunee. The participants and writers developing the nascent US government compared the Haudenosaunee and their ways to a state of achievement in administrative self-governance that Rome itself never reached, and an ideal that they hoped the US would aspire to and achieve." The second half is denied by what was the immediately following paragraph. The first half may be useful - buit fails to tell us what the two terms were or what they meant or indeed who believes this alternate theory. Rmhermen ==Questionable Link== I'd say that the History and origins of the Five Nations of the Iroquois link is at best questionable. It's a poorly written article, on a site that's founded to oppose Iroquois interest in upstate New York. I'll confess to knowing little about the topic myself, I really only know what I've read in a couple books, none of the scholarly works. This article clearly is not written in a scholarly format. Correction: Do'h what academic background? UCE is the group, not some college. The only source that I wouldn't question just from a glance on the basis of either date or originator is the National Geographic article. And that's not particularly crucial to his point. At the end he admits to glaring contradictions in his article, but says that that doesn't change the veracity of his claims. If there actually is such a controversy as this fellow presents, it should be included in the article, not just as a supplementary link. If not and the guy's just a crackpot, why do we have it in here? I'd like to propose removing the link on two bases: 1. It reads like a poorly written rant. 2. The factual basis seems questionable. 3. It's not what people coming to this page would be looking for. Oh, and I'm Quintucket, I'm having password difficulty with both Wikipedia and my email. It's been so long since I've had to type my passwords (which aren't the defaults on either) that I forgot. But anywhen, sign me Quintucket, once I get my account functional again I'll confirm. ==Material from article "Iroquoian languages"== The following paragraph was cut from the article Iroquoian languages since it only concerns the Iroquois culture (and the article is about a language family that includes the Huron and Cherokee). I think the material is superfluous to this article. Joseph B The Iroquois were made up of a group or league of tribes that settled much of the land which presently spans from upstate New York to western Ohio. They were not nomadic but preferred to live in villages of many multi-roomed longhouses, built with saplings and bark or thatch. These longhouses could be up to 300 feet long. Villages were occupied for about 25-50 years. The Iroquois relied greatly on domestication of plant foods, but also supplemented their diet with hunting and gathering. Food such as corn, squash, beans, and other crops were cultivated, often on large fields where forest had been cut and burned for planting. It can be stated that they practiced a system of shifting horticulture. They spent much time on cultivation, harvesting, the preparatration of maize, and storing food. They stored their crops in various types of pottery jars. Pots were specialized by being much sturdier, constructed to withstand thermal stress, but were sensitive to mechanical stress. Iroquian pottery could also be used for a variety of reasons or uses. They were great for preparing maize. Excavated grains, pottery and other evidence suggests that a typical Indian meal consisted of soup made from different plants and animals, with corn as a staple in their diets. == Seven Generations == This article doesn't address the fact or fiction of the Iroquois belief that decisions made considered the impact on the next seven generations. Sounds mythical but it would be interesting if true. Google iroquois "seven generations" for more.Yeago It's not mythical, but can be found in recorded speeches and is still part of the Iroquois culture today. Guido den Broeder (talk) == "related groups" info removed from infobox == For dedicated editors of this page: The "Related Groups" info was removed from all infoboxes. Comments may be left on the Ethnic groups talk page. Ling.Nut == Non-"Iroquois" name (Contradict tag) == The infobox and intro paragraphs disagree on the alternate/original name: Haudenosaunee or Haudenosaunne. 68.39.174.238 352,000 G-hits for Haudenosaunee, 181 for Haudenosaunne. Speciate ==17th century population figure== I find the population figure of 12,000 to be unbelievably low. Is it possible this is the number of warriors they could field instead? That would make more sense. Speciate The population count surely dropped considerably during the 17th century because of all the warfare but yes, this estimate sounds low. Guido den Broeder (talk) May I offer something from my research, respectfully? I'm sure this is not correct because it takes not consideration of Canada and other back country areas etc etc 1783 - Captain Dalton, Superintendant of Indian affairs for the United State.

Conaughy (talk) —Preceding comment was added at Within the text of your article reads: "Some old histories state that the Iroquois defeated the Susquehannock during this time period, but no record of a defeat has been found and it can be stated that no defeat occurred." Perhaps I should share this find; Wilcomb E Washburn, "The Governor and the Rebel." I have read that "He's the one who dug up a number of new documents in England." Some of the Penn Susquehanoak retreated or splintered, take your pick of words, to Virginia to a Virginia river island on the James, I believe it was the James River above Richmond, Wood's fort back then. Legend has that your defeat(?), it was over a cannon traded to the Susquehanoak by the Dutch and they soon ran out of ball & powder, but that's legend I suppose. Some scholars declare that the Merrin were a Virginia sept of Susquehanna and others have cataloged them as Siouan, so I don't know about them. But, the Bacon War incident were indeed whom the colonial Virginians called, Susquehanna and your article is those as you have it, allowed to take refuge.

What what was the Iroquois involvement in this war? There was the attack on La Chine, but this may have occurred before the war officially started. For Queen Anne's War, the article uses the awkward term "mostly neutral" because even though they seemed to be allied with the English the Iroquois were not actively involved.

"Sympathy" is a 1970 song by English rock band Rare Bird. Although the song reached #27 in the UK, it became a hit in continental Europe and sold one million copies worldwide. The song was also recorded by Steve Rowland and The Family Dogg and Marillion. It was also recorded by Daliah Lavi in English and German language. The cover art features a painting by Marc Harrison titled The Birdwoman Of Zartacla (later also used for the cover of the June 1981 issue of the Heavy Metal magazine). ==References== ==External links== 1970 singles 1970 songs Charisma Records singles Philips Records singles

The result was NO CONSENSUS TO DELETE. Herostratus ===List of Pokémon (21-40)=== – (View AfD)(View log) This page is pointless. There's no need for a small synopsis when one can be found on every Pokémon's respective page. Cipher (Talk to the hand) Delete Suggest creation of a new category which will dynamically list each entry. That way, the notable subjects (with their respective articles) will be included in a single directory. This will also spare all the extra effort that might be spent on maintaining this list. Conditional keep per related AfD Articles for deletion/Porygon evolutionary line. The Pokemon wikiproject seems to be in the midst of a large merger project involving these articles, and given the scope of the effort I am willing to allow them some time to complete the merge. Suggest revisiting this issue after a month or so to check for progress, and if its still in a poor state, relist here at AfD. Arkyan • (talk) Keep See my reasoning at Articles for deletion/Porygon evolutionary line - it also applies here. -Jeske (v^_^v) Speedy keep, per my reasoning in Articles for deletion/List of Pokémon (1-20) (2nd nomination). Speedy keep per above. Speedy keep per above. Merger in progress. If nominator opposes merger, discussion at POKE is the more appropriate venue. hbdragon88 Comment: I should notify everyone that using the series of descriptive, supplemental List pages of which this page is a part of may not be the only way to cover the many Pokemon species that don't have evolutionary relatives (which is actually the purpose of this page; to fill in the gaps left behind by merging Pokemon into evolutionary line pages like Porygon evolutionary line). I have proposed what could be a viable alternative to this series of pages at WikiProject_Pok%C3%A9mon/Layout#About_those_Pokemon_that_don.27t_evolve...; everyone may want to hold a discussion over there about that. If that plan gets consensus, I will support deleting this page. Erik Jensen (Appreciate|Laugh At) Delete If it ain't broken, don't fix it.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) Speedy keep, per reasoning in other AfD. - A Link to the Past (talk) Comment: I heavily doubt that anyone here voting "Delete" (including the nominator and excepting Ryulong) has read any of the debates over at WikiProject Pokémon or WikiProject Pokémon/Layout. -Jeske (v^_^v) Strong Delete For the exactly the same reason as I had here. But your reasoning is not based on notability, but your personal preference. You want it one way, so you use the AfD and say "rather than assert a policy or guideline violation in it existing, I'll say "I don't like it". - A Link to the Past (talk) Strong delete, same as the list of 1-20. Your reasoning uses the exceptions. -Jeske (v^_^v) Bulbasaur, Treecko and Lugia, for more examples, are all pretty important. I also say Delete because no one has even completed this page yet. Maybe because it's up for deletion but it sat there for a couple of weeks before that and wasn't edited. Michaelritchie200 Besides, does it make that much difference to the running of Wikipedia if each Pokemon has its own page? If we do this, does it mean we have to chop down the number of character pages for Harry Potter, Digimon and Final Fantasy and other character heavy games. Michaelritchie200 Strong keep Reeks of making a point. See reasoning at other pokemon related nominations. G1ggy! ''The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

The Lao alphabet, Akson Lao (Lao: ອັກສອນລາວ ), is the main script used to write the Lao language and other minority languages in Laos. Ultimately of Indic origin, the alphabet includes 27 consonants (ພະຍັນຊະນະ ), 7 consonantal ligatures (ພະຍັນຊະນະປະສົມ ), 33 vowels (ສະຫລະ ) (some based on combinations of symbols), and 4 tone marks (ວັນນະຍຸດ ). According to Article 89 of the Amended Constitution of 2003 of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Lao alphabet, though originally used purely for transcribing the Lao language, is also used to write several minority languages. Some minority languages use separate writing systems, however, while the Hmong have adopted the Roman Alphabet. An older version of the script was also used by the ethnic Lao of Thailand's Isan region before Isan was incorporated into Siam. Its use was banned and supplemented with the very similar Thai alphabet in 1871, although the region remained culturally and politically distant until further government campaigns and integration into the Thai state (Thaification) were imposed in the 20th century. The Lao alphabet is very similar to the Thai alphabet, which has the same roots. Lao, however, has less characters and is written in a more circular fashion than Thai. Lao, like most indic scripts, is traditionally written from left to right. Lao is considered an abugida, where certain 'implied' vowels are unwritten. However, recent spelling reforms make this definition somewhat problematic, as all vowel sounds today are marked with diacritics when written according to the Lao PDR's propagated and promoted spelling standard. However most Lao outside of Laos, and many inside Laos, continue to write according to former spelling standards, so vernacular Lao functions as a pure abugida. Vowels can be written above, below, in front of, or behind consonants, with some vowel combinations written before, over and after. Spaces for separating words and punctuations were traditionally not used, but a space is used and functions in place of a comma or period. The letters have no majuscule or minuscule (upper and lower case) differentiations. ==History== The Lao script was slowly standardised in the Mekong River valley after the various Tai principalities of the region were merged under the rule of the Kingdom of Lan Xang in the 14th century. This script, sometimes known as Tai Noi, has changed little since its inception and continued in use in the Lao-speaking regions of modern-day Laos and Isan, while the Thai alphabet continued to evolve, but similarity of the scripts is still evident. This script was derived locally from the Khmer script of Angkor with additional influence from Mon, both of which ultimately derived from the Brahmic writing systems of India. Traditionally, only secular literature was written with the Lao alphabet. Religious literature was often written in Tua Tham, a Mon-based script that is still used for the Tai Khün, Tai Lue, and formerly for Kham Mueang. Mystical, magical, and some religious literature was written in a modified version of the Khmer alphabet. ==Consonants== The 27 consonants of the Lao alphabet are divided into three tone classes—high (ສູງ ), middle (ກາງ ), low (ຕ່ຳ )—which determine the tonal pronunciation of the word in conjunction with the four tone marks and distinctions between short and long vowels, but aside from tone, there are 21 distinct consonant sounds that occur in the Lao language. Each letter has an acrophonical name that either begins with or features the word prominently and is used to teach the letter and serves to distinguish them from other, homophonous consonants. The letter ອ is a special null consonant used as an anchor for vowels, which cannot stand alone, as well as serves as a vowel in its own right. ===Consonant chart=== The table below shows the Lao consonant, its name, its pronunciation according to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), as well as various romanisation schemes, such as the French-based systems in use by both the US Board of Geographic Names and the British Permanent Committee on Geographical Names (BGN/PCGN), the English-based system in use by the US Library of Congress (LC), Royal Thai General System of Transcription (RTGS) used in Thailand, and finally its Unicode name. A slash indicates the pronunciation at the beginning juxtaposed with its pronunciation at the end of a syllable. {|class="wikitable" |- !rowspan=2|Letter!!colspan=2 rowspan=2|Name!!colspan=4|Initial position!!colspan=4|Final position !rowspan=2|Unicode!!rowspan=2|Tone Class |- !IPA!!BGN/PCGN!!LC!!RTSG !IPA!!BGN/PCGN!!LC!!RTSG |- align=center |ກ |align=left| ກ ໄກ່ ||align=left|, chicken |||colspan=3|k |||colspan=3|k |KO||Middle |- align=center |ຂ |align=left| ຂ ໄຂ່ ||align=left|, egg |||colspan=3|kh | ||colspan=3|k |KHO SUNG||High |- align=center |ຄ |align=left| ຄ ຄວາຍ ||align=left|, water buffalo |||colspan=3|kh | ||colspan=3|k |KHO TAM||Low |- align=center |ງ |align=left| ງ ງົວ or ງູ ||align=left|, ox or , snake | ||colspan=3|ng | ||colspan=3|ng |NGO||Low |- align=center |ຈ |align=left| ຈ ຈອກ ||align=left|, glass |||colspan=3|ch | ||colspan=3|t |CO||Middle |- align=center |ສ |align=left| ສ ເສືອ ||align=left|, tiger |||colspan=3|s |||colspan=3|t |SO SUNG||High |- align=center |ຊ |align=left| ຊ ຊ້າງ ||align=left|, elephant |||x||colspan=2|s |||colspan=3|t |SO TAM||Low |- align=center |ຍ |align=left| ຍ ຍຸງ ||align=left|, mosquito | ||gn||ny||y |– ||colspan=3|– |NYO||Low |- align=center |ດ |align=left| ດ ເດັກ ||align=left|, child |||colspan=3|d |||colspan=3|t |DO||Middle |- align=center |ຕ |align=left| ຕ ຕາ ||align=left|, eye |||colspan=3|t |||colspan=3|t |TO||Middle |- align=center |ຖ |align=left| ຖ ຖົງ ||align=left|, stocking |||colspan=3|th | ||colspan=3|t |THO SUNG||High |- align=center |ທ |align=left| ທ ທຸງ ||align=left|, flag |||colspan=3|th | ||colspan=3|t |THO TAM||Low |- align=center |ນ |align=left| ນ ນົກ ||align=left|, bird |||colspan=3|n |||ne||colspan=2|n |NO||Low |- align=center |ບ |align=left| ບ ແບ້ ||align=left|, goat |||colspan=3|b |||colspan=3|p |BO||Middle |- align=center |ປ |align=left| ປ ປາ ||align=left|, fish |||colspan=3|p |||colspan=3|p |PO||Middle |- align=center |ຜ |align=left| ຜ ເຜິ້ງ ||align=left|, bee |||colspan=3|ph |– ||colspan=3|– |PHO SUNG||High |- align=center |ຝ |align=left| ຝ ຝົນ ||align=left|, rain |||colspan=3|f |||colspan=3|p |FO TAM||High |- align=center |ພ |align=left| ພ ພູ ||align=left|, mountain |||colspan=3|ph | ||colspan=3|p |PHO TAM||Low |- align=center |ຟ |align=left| ຟ ໄຟ ||align=left|, fire |||colspan=3|f |||colspan=3|p |FO SUNG||Low |- align=center |ມ |align=left| ມ ແມວ ||align=left|, cat |||colspan=3|m |||colspan=3|m |MO||Low |- align=center |ຢ |align=left| ຢ ຢາ ||align=left|, medicine |||colspan=3|y |–||colspan=3|– |YO||Middle |- align=center |ຣ |align=left| ຣ ຣົຖ or ຣະຄັງ ||align=left|, car or , bell |,||colspan=3|r |||ne||colspan=2|n |LO LING||Low |- align=center |ລ |align=left| ລ ລີງ ||align=left|, monkey |||colspan=3|l |||ne||colspan=2|n |LO LOOT||Low |- align=center |ວ |align=left| ວ ວີ ||align=left|, fan |,||v||colspan=2|v,w |–||colspan=3|– |WO||Low |- align=center |ຫ |align=left| ຫ ຫ່ານ ||align=left|, goose |||colspan=3|h |–||colspan=3|– |HO SUNG||High |- align=center |ອ |align=left| ອ ໂອ ||align=left|, bowl |||colspan=3|– |–||colspan=3|– |O||Middle |- align=center |ຮ |align=left| ຮ ເຮືອນ ||align=left|, house |||colspan=3|h |–||colspan=3|– |HO TAM||Low |} Note that the Unicode names for the characters ຝ (FO TAM) and ຟ (FO SUNG) are reversed. The same is true for ຣ (LO LING) and ລ (LO LOOT). This error was introduced into the Unicode standard and cannot be fixed, as character names are immutable. ===Consonantal digraphs and ligatures=== Lao also uses digraphs based on combinations of silent ຫ ຫ່ານ with certain other consonants, some of which also have special ligature forms that are optionally used. Because of the first silent component is of the 'high' tone class, all the digraphs and ligatures are also of the high tone class. The older versions of the script also included special forms for combinations of ພ (pʰ) + ຍ (ɲ), ສ (s) + ນ (n), and ມ (m) + ລ (l). In addition, consonant clusters that had the second component of ຣ (r) or ລ (l) were written with a special form ຼ underneath the consonant.

Lao was not officially supported by Windows until Windows Vista. User-generated fonts are freely available online. In December 2011 the Lao Ministry of Science and Technology in cooperation with the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications officially authorized the use of Phetsarath OT as the standard national font. The Phetsarath OT font was already adopted by the government in 2009 but Lao users were unable to use it, as international software manufactures did not embed the font into their software systems. Mobile devices were not able to use or show Lao language; instead mobile phone users had to rely on Thai or English as language. The Laos Ministry of Post and Telecommunications asked local technicians to develop a software system of international standard that would enable the Phetsarath OT font to be like other font systems that local users could access. In March 2011 the Lao company XY Mobile presented the Phetsarath OT on mobile phones as well as tablet PCs using the mobile device operating system Android. == Unicode == The Unicode block for the Lao script is U+0E80–U+0EFF, added in Unicode version 1.0. The first 10 characters of the row U+0EDx are the Lao numerals 0 through 9. Throughout the chart grey (unassigned) code points are shown, because the assigned Lao characters intentionally match the relative positions of the corresponding Thai characters. This has created the anomaly that the Lao letter ສ is not in alphabetical order, since it occupies the same codepoint as the Thai letter ส. == See also == Romanization of Lao Lao Braille Literature of Laos ==References== Simmala, Buasawan and Benjawan Poomsan Becker (2003), Lao for Beginners.

The Fifth-Column Mouse (later reissued as Fifth Column Mouse) is a 1943 Warner Bros. animated cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series. Directed by Friz Freleng, the cartoon features a band of humble mice who engage in war against a cat. The short was given a Blue Ribbon reissue, released on April 22, 1950. ==Synopsis== The short film begins with a pleasant group of brown mice – to the tune of “Ain't We Got Fun?” – who are enjoying various water sports in a kitchen sink. Lurking just outside the house is a sinister cat who, after breaking in, gains the confidence of a dim-witted grey mouse. The cat persuades the unsuspecting rodent to tell the other mice to become the cat’s slaves, and in return, promises a never-ending cheese supply. The grey mouse (who much more resembles a rat) follows the cat’s orders, but soon finds out the cat’s true intentions—to make them his dinner, and flees to join the mice. The brown mice then form a united alliance against the cat as both sides prepare for war, constructing a weapon to even the battle: a mechanical bulldog. The battle, in which the cat is chased and shaved nearly bald, forces the cat out of the house. As the mice all celebrate the victory, the grey mouse tries to claim partial credit (quoting Red Skelton’s famous line "I Dood it"); he is immediately pied in response. ==References to World War II== The cat is treated as the enemy and symbolizes the Axis. After the cat whispers his plan inside the dim-witted mouse’s ear the cat’s face briefly mimics that of a stereotypically caricatured Japanese, while Japanese sounding music is quoted. When the mouse agrees to fulfill the plan, he gives the cat a Nazi salute. When the cat’s skin is shaved off the soundtrack quotes Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony”, which was used by the Allied Forces as a symbol the Morse code for "V" (for "victory"). Near the end of the cartoon, the other mice sing “We did it before and We can do it again”, a patriotic chant that’s often used in American propaganda movies during World War II. That song was co-written in 1941 by Tin Pan Alley songwriter Charles Tobias (who also co-wrote the Merrie Melodies theme song some years earlier) as a response to the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. ==Availability== The Fifth-Column Mouse was released on The Wartime Cartoons (1989), and later on the Volume 6 DVD set. The cartoon is now in the public domain. ==See also== List of World War II short films List of films in the public domain ==References== ==External links== Merrie Melodies shorts American animated films 1943 animated films 1940s American animated films American World War II propaganda shorts Films directed by Friz Freleng World War II films made in wartime

The Romance of Crime is an original novel written by Gareth Roberts and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Fourth Doctor, Romana II and K-9. It takes place directly before the Missing Adventure The English Way of Death, also by Roberts. The title is a quotation from the Morrissey song "Sister I'm a Poet". ==Plot== The TARDIS brings the Doctor, Romana and K-9 to the Rock of Judgement: a supreme prison built into a rocket-powered asteroid. What is the link between the gallery of artist Menlove Stokes, and the massacre of a survey team on a far off planet? And why is Margo, Chief Of Security, behaving in such an odd manner? == Audio Adaptation == Big Finish Productions, an audio production company based in the UK, announced they were doing an audio adaptation of this story starring Tom Baker and Lalla Ward. It was released in January 2015. ==References== ==External links== The Romance of Crime at Big Finish ===Reviews=== (Archived) Virgin Missing Adventures Fourth Doctor novels 1995 novels Novels by Gareth Roberts

==A note== Type species is a bit in a large article that also and also and also discusses. I think it would be a better idea to split up that article to discuss the holotypes et al and seperatie the type species bit out of there. GerardM == Clarity == This article does a pretty poor job of explaining that a type species is just a species of name foo bar, where foo = bar, and that that's really all there is to it. (And if that's not the case, well then it does a *really* poor job of it, but that's what I was able to glean from the link to the article on the sunfish node.) Maybe it would help if you expressed yourself more clearly ? I agree that the definition is not sufficiently clear for someone not especially familiar with biological taxonomies. I came here from the article on smallmouth bass because I was curious about what a "type species" is, so I followed the link. If I am reading the quoted definition correctly, a type species is the species in a genus (or other category) that the genus name is attached to. This means if, for example, scientists discovered through genome analysis that smallmouth bass and largemouth bass are not genetically closely related, smallmouth bass would keep the genus name Micropterus whereas largemouth bass would be branched off into its own genus or moved into an existing one. Articles like this one are what they are referring to in the Slashdot article Does Wikipedia Suck on Science Stories?. I don't think it's the case that type species means foo=bar; eg Tyrannosaurus rex is a type species. ErikHaugen (talk) Not being a biologist, I have no idea what anything in this article means. It was linked from this sentence in Passerine: "The names "passerines" and "Passeriformes" are derived from Passer domesticus, the scientific name of the type species – the House Sparrow..." == Examples == This article could benefit from a few example of type species species. For example, Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) and Spectral Tarsier (Tarsius tarsier). Surikell (talk) I couldn't agree more, I think much of the confusion arises from the lack of examples. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.142.224.132 (talk) And maybe pointing out for us non-specialists that it is talking about those species whose two-part names are made up of the same Latin word twice. (If I understand the article correctly.) == Trying to make it clearer == I had a go at fixing it up a bit, including giving one example. Currently the section within the article Type (biology)#Types in zoology gives a clearer explanation of Type species than this article does. Invertzoo (talk)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page. The result was NO CONSENSUS TO DELETE. Herostratus ===List of Pokémon (1-20)=== – (View AfD)(View log) This page is pointless. There's no need for a small synopsis when one can be found on every Pokémon's respective page. Cipher (Talk to the hand) Delete Suggest creation of a new category which will dynamically list each entry. That way, the notable subjects (with their respective articles) will be included in a single directory. This will also spare all the extra effort that might be spent on maintaining this list. Conditional keep per related AfD Articles for deletion/Porygon evolutionary line. The Pokemon wikiproject seems to be in the midst of a large merger project involving these articles, and given the scope of the effort I am willing to allow them some time to complete the merge. Suggest revisiting this issue after a month or so to check for progress, and if its still in a poor state, relist here at AfD. Arkyan • (talk) Keep See my reasoning at Articles for deletion/Porygon evolutionary line - it also applies here. -Jeske (v^_^v) Speedy keep Nominator's reasons seem to ignore the past discussion that went on at the last AFD. This is a merge in progress, the duplicated information will eventually be deleted and redirected. For more info, please see PCP/Layout. -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria Speedy keep. Another user had complained about the split of the larger article in to these articles during the first AfD back in April (which is, evidently, a merge in progress at this time). My opinion hasn't changed - the attempt to delete these reeks of a POINT to me, since consensus on the Pokemon project page seems to have stated that this should be done. Speedy keep per the tiger above. This is a merge in progress here. Give it some time to finish merging, and then wait for the redundant info to disappear. If the redundant info's still around a month or so from now, then AfD it. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) Delete I am against the PROPOSED merger, since it doesn't solve the "problem" that resulted in the merger idea (lack of RS). TJ Spyke Speedy keep per above. Merger in progress. If nominator opposes merger, discussion at POKE is the more appropriate venue. hbdragon88 Speedy keep: Merging in progress. Stop trying to prevent it with faulty nominations. We've made consensus, it's over. They're being merged. Comment: I should notify everyone that using the series of descriptive, supplemental List pages of which this page is a part of may not be the only way to cover the many Pokemon species that don't have evolutionary relatives (which is actually the purpose of this page; to fill in the gaps left behind by merging Pokemon into evolutionary line pages like Porygon evolutionary line). I have proposed what could be a viable alternative to this series of pages at WikiProject_Pok%C3%A9mon/Layout#About_those_Pokemon_that_don.27t_evolve...; everyone may want to hold a discussion over there about that. If that plan gets consensus, I will support deleting this page. Erik Jensen (Appreciate|Laugh At) Delete If it ain't broken, don't fix it.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) It is broken, at least read the backstory or even this page. The majority of Pokemon articles are being merged into evolutionary lines. However, because some do not have evolutionary lines, they would need their own article. The problem with this is that those articles most definitely fail VERIFIABILITY, NOTABILITY and NOR. Solution? These articles. We are fixing it, and as I've shown, the thing is fucked. :) Speedy keep. The articles are not redundant, because they are a part of a merge process that would seek to make the articles not redundant. No point in deleting. - A Link to the Past (talk) Comment: I heavily doubt that anyone here voting "Delete" (including the nominator and excepting Ryulong and TJ Spyke) has read any of the debates over at WikiProject Pokémon or WikiProject Pokémon/Layout. -Jeske (v^_^v) Strong delete I find listing rediculous. There shouldn't be little details, and three links leading to the same article. I agree with the merging, but I still disagree with this. It should be on some list, but this isn't right list. This isn't a main article. Most lists have less detailed info anyway. TheBlazikenMaster The article can easily change to be more in-depth. This will happen when they are actually merged. The fact that you voted "strong delete" is pretty ridiculous. Delete - I'll call this one saying that this is unencyclopedic. There is no need to split "1-20", "21-40", and so on when List of Pokémon do just fine. Furthermore, the format of these articles seem to be more like "articles for naviational purposes" rather than true encyclopedia articles, making this redundant (if the information is in here, it would be better in List of Pokémon. I also question whether the consensus to proceed with the merge even exists if there is so much opposition to it, but that's not of the concern of this nomination. kelvSYC Comment: I find myself inclined to agree here because this is a duplication of information that is meant to provide places where Pokemon that don't evolve, such as Farfetch'd, the space to get their due coverage; it would be at List of Pokemon (81-100) that one section would be much more comprehensive than others, and not have a Main Article link, and that's Farfetch'd's section. This was 's plan for dealing with Pokemon that don't evolve and therefore can't be merged into each other; I believe I have thought up a better alternative to this list page for covering unevolving Pokemon, and it's detailed here, which is a way to merge unevolving Pokemon together more directly without the need for list pages like this. I wonder if that would get more consensus as a component of the merge plan than these supplemental list pages. Erik Jensen (Appreciate|Laugh At) Delete There are so many websites on Pokemon characters. It's just not wikipedia material. I understand we're different from Britannica, but no. Too open. Feydakin Comment Your reasoning also applies to Dungeons & Dragons, Naruto, Harry Potter, etc. The fact that there are other websites has little-to-no bearing on Wikipedia - in fact, read through Pokémon Collaborative Project/Archive 14#We're in trouble. -Jeske (v^_^v) This article is actually in favor of you. It helps us to cut down the number of Pokemon articles by merging them here. You've also made little basis in terms of policies and guidelines, simply said "It's not Wikipedia material". Speedy delete Give each Pokemon its own page, or there is little point. Pokemon like Pikachu and Meowth are well known and so there is a lot of information on them. It seems consistent to keep pages for all other Pokemon too. Consensus is that Pikachu and Mewtwo are the exception, not the rule. Meowth is already detailed with the rest of Team Rocket. -Jeske (v^_^v) First off, notability, not popularity. Secondly, saying that every Pokemon should have an article if two others do is illogical. They all have different notability levels. Pikachu, for example, is well documented, but Vileplume is unheard of. I was just naming two for examples. And Meowth the character has been documented on the Team Rocket page, but not the Pokemon. Michaelritchie200 Keep Per comments above, and per original nomination. Don't keep nominating this just to make a point. Pokemon articles are here to stay. G1ggy! Delete... we've long since passed the point where 6000 pokemon articles is considered acceptable... thats why there is such a thing as Wikia ... make a freaking pokemon wikia, fill it to the brim with the sort of random cruft we have here. There is 0, absolutely no reason this encyclopedia needs an article for each and every single pokemon, each game, lists of who what when where was released... we certainly dont need multiple lists of said data.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ Please understand, these articles are for cutting down the amount of Pokemon articles. They are placed to merge the main Pokemon articles to. So basically 500 articles will cut down to 200 or something. I agree with you, but I'm disappointed in the fact you didn't read anything other than the nomination text. I still say Delete, but one more thing - every single Digimon has its own page too. Are they to be cut down as well? Michaelritchie200 Yes, they should be. But don't start pulling a OTHERCRAPEXISTS on me. ''The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

===What Wikipedia Is (Not)=== Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is also a community. For most people – and especially for readers of the Signpost – these two banal facts hardly seem worth noting. The current trend in Wikipedia commentary is to show how it is more than an encyclopedia: how it is, at its core, paradigmatic of a radically new way of thinking, learning, knowing, organizing, and collaborating in our brave new digital age. We are constantly told that the success of Wikipedia has significant lessons for business, government, journalism, academia, the Internet, and practically every other institution in contemporary society. Amongst all of these attempts to package up and export some kind of universal “wiki way,” Joseph Reagle’s book Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia is a refreshing look at what Wikipedia means to Wikipedians. This focus stems from the fact that Good Faith Collaboration is an ethnography, an anthropological style in which the researcher attempts to capture the spirit of a people in writing. Whether one travels to Papua New Guinea or an online community, the goal of any ethnography is to relate their ethos to the rest of the world. It is to give people who have never set foot on an island in the South Pacific or edited a single Wikipedia article an idea of how those people live, where they came from, what they care about, and why they do what they do. And like Margaret Mead or Bronisław Malinowski, Joseph Reagle spent years with this odd tribe of Wikipedians, becoming an editor (Reagle), attending meetups, and trawling through mountains of archived talk pages and mailing lists. It is perhaps because of this extended participant-observation that Good Faith Collaboration goes well beyond most accounts written about Wikipedia, insisting on studying Wikipedians both on and in their own terms. Some of these terms are the obvious ones, like the various strings of acronyms in policies or the odd way in which 'consensus' can mean anything between 51% approval and total unanimity. However, they also include more subtle ways of analyzing what Wikipedians care about and how the community comes to define itself. For example, some readers may be amused to see various well-known 'laws' of Wikipedian behavior at the beginning of each chapter, from "Show me an admin who has never been called a Nazi and I'll show you an admin who is not doing their job" to "Problematic users will drive good users away from Wikipedia far more often than good users will drive away problematic ones." As an ethnographer, Reagle does not take these laws to be true or false social science facts and is not that interested in proving or disproving them. They are instead windows into the world of Wikipedian culture, "a salient example of the community trying to understand itself and its circumstances." ===Good faith, bad faith=== It is his emphasis on studying Wikipedians for their own sake that leads him to focus on the encyclopedic nature of Wikipedia, an aspect that is often passed over by social scientists who describe generalizable community dynamics or organizational principles. As such, the first chapter after the introduction is not about barnstars and Requests for Adminship, but encyclopedic communities from the 18th century Encyclopedie to Project Gutenberg and Nupedia. True to anthropological form, Reagle does not make the move of a historian and argue for himself that Wikipedia is the intellectual successor of these works. Instead, he shows how Wikipedians see their project much in the same way as Denis Diderot and Paul Otlet saw their reference works. In particular, he shows how a certain Enlightenment-era ideal of free knowledge is one of the community's driving concerns – and has also been the source of its most prominent forks. At the core of these concerns, Reagle argues, is how to put into practice the lofty ideals of collaboration, which are best summarized in the demand for Wikipedians to assume good faith of each other. Yet the encyclopedic mission of Wikipedia makes the community of a different kind than those based around discussing politics or authoring fan fiction. Many communities have norms such as assume good faith, but Reagle sees this as an essential aspect of the Wikipedian community, as it integrates with other standards of knowledge and authorship. In chapter three, he shows how social policies and encyclopedic standards are linked: while it is easy to see Neutral Point of View as a purely encyclopedic standard, Reagle shows how it functions with the good faith mindset. As he argues, "NPOV renders the subject matter of a collaborative encyclopedia compatible, good faith makes it possible to work together." Subsequent chapters on openness, collaboration, and leadership continue with this theme, showing how each aspect of the community's norms relies on assuming a kind of good faith through discussions, policies, and case studies. However, readers wishing to learn whether Wikipedians "actually" assume good faith with each other or whether Wikipedia "really" is an open community may be disappointed by his anthropological perspective. When Reagle discusses Wikipedia as an open community, he is not speaking of participation metrics or exclusion rates. He locates the community's openness in a set of values that Wikipedians hold about themselves and each other – values that sometimes come into contention or contradiction with each other. Similarly, Reagle's analysis of the notorious “anyone can edit” slogan goes beyond the "can anybody really edit" discussions and shows how controversies over this definition reveal a complicated set of priorities that the community works to balance. ===Encyclopedic anxiety=== The seventh chapter, "Encyclopedic anxiety", examines Wikipedia's relationship with the rest of the world, looking at critics and supporters and the issues they debate in the public sphere. Like with Wikipedia's internal controversies, Reagle does not take much of a stance on who is right and who is wrong, instead analyzing what these kinds of discussions reveal about us as a society. In an interesting historical section, he gives a number of cases arguing that public controversies over reference works are often reflective of a broader cultural concern. From dictionaries that began including the colloquial words of common folk and encyclopedias with "family-unfriendly" articles, reference works have been the subject of great debate for centuries. And as Reagle argues in the case of a dictionary that was published in the 1960s, "critics were alarmed at the social change occurring around them and attacked Webster's Third as an exemplar and proxy" (p. 140). He concludes by arguing that, in much the same way, many of the controversies directed towards Wikipedia are emblematic of larger social changes, some created by Wikipedia, and others merely associated with it. ===Researching a reflective community=== In all, Reagle's ethnographic perspective is both the book's greatest strength and greatest limitation. He tends to focus on the mainstream elements of Wikipedian culture, offering a general description of what a good portion of the community believes about who they are and how they ought to act. It is precisely because of this that most Signpost-reading Wikipedians will find nothing too controversial or radically new. Most will probably agree with SJ's review: it is well-written, well-sourced, and neutral; something I'd recommend for my mother. For an ethnographer, this is the highest praise one can give, as it means that the book captures the spirit of the people so well that most parts seem obvious, even boring at times. However, Good Faith Collaboration isn't just about Wikipedia's culture – it is quickly becoming part of Wikipedia's culture. The book has won accolades from a who's who of people in and around Wikipedia, including Lawrence Lessig, Clay Shirky, and Jonathan Zittrain, and will likely have profound influence on how academics, cultural critics, and journalists imagine Wikipedia. That alone makes the book worth reading, but I also suspect that Good Faith Collaboration will have a powerful impact on how the community sees itself. Wikipedians are highly reflective, as Reagle notes, and I have no doubt his analysis will be endlessly debated and interpreted in discussions at all levels of the community. This has already begun with Sue Gardner's praise for the book, and in particular Reagle's analysis of how conflict resolution in Wikipedia is similar to that in Quaker communities. As she describes in multiple blog posts, Gardner was so inspired by this that she read about a dozen works on the Quakers and then went to visit a Quaker community to learn about how they resolve conflict. Because of her enthusiasm, I expect the Quakers to become a familiar example, even among Wikipedians who don't read Reagle's book, and would not be surprised to see the analogy invoked on both sides of a debate in the near future. I only wonder what other sentiments are hidden in the book. ===References=== 04 Book 20101004

The Batang Kali massacre was the killing of 24 unarmed villagers by British troops on 12 December 1948 during the Malayan Emergency. The incident occurred during counter-insurgency operations against Malay and Chinese communists in Malaya – then a colony of the British Crown. It was described as "Britain's My Lai" in Christopher Hale's Massacre in Malaya: exposing Britain's My Lai. Despite several investigations by the British government since the 1950s, and a re-examination of the evidence by the Royal Malaysia Police between 1993 and 1997, no charges were brought against any of the alleged perpetrators. ==Background== After World War II, the British returned to Malaya to recover control from Japanese military forces. During the war the British government had supported the guerrillas who continued to fight against the Japanese forces. However, following VJ Day in August 1945, many resistance units did not completely disband. These groups instead became the foundation for the independence movement against British rule in Malaya. Some guerrillas turned from agitation to communism and began targeting British commercial interests in the colony by attacking rubber plantations and tin mines. By June 1948, escalating violence and the assassinations of several prominent British landowners led colonial authorities in Malaya to declare an "Emergency". This gave the Malay police and government greater powers and flexibility in combating the insurgents. Although the British had extensive experience in jungle warfare, most recently in the Burma Campaign during World War II, military leaders had not formalized their experience into a specific jungle warfare curriculum. As the Malayan conflict continued, the British Army refined its military tactics in jungle conditions. But training, especially in the early days of the Emergency, exposed many British soldiers to the harshness of combat in tropical environments, and they had received almost no training about observing the laws of war. The Basic Military Training curriculum in Malaya focused on 'drill, weapons training, gas training, physical training, education, health and religious training'. The newly founded United Nations was mentioned but no discussion of international protocols on the treatment of non-combatants. Even in documents about officer training there is no mention given to civilians. Michael Gilbert, a member of the Suffolk Regiment, said his training " teaching you how to march, how to handle a rifle, and how to behave in a soldierly manner." Raymond Burdett, another member of the Suffolk Regiment, reflected on his experience; he said the trainers sought "to get us to follow instructions, not to question commands." Basic training for these troops focused on infantry skills, not their ability to judge the appropriateness of orders in the context of international law. ==Killings== In December 1948, 7th Platoon, G Company, 2nd Scots Guards surrounded a rubber plantation at Sungai Rimoh near Batang Kali in Selangor. The civilians were then rounded up by the British soldiers. The men were separated from the women and children for interrogation. A total 24 unarmed men from the village were killed by automatic weapons fire before the villagers' homes were set on fire. The only adult male survivor was a man named Chong Hong, who was in his 20s at the time. He fainted and was presumed dead. Other eyewitnesses included the victims' spouses and children, such as Tham Yong, age 17, and Loh Ah Choy, who was about seven at the time. ==Subsequent developments== In the 1960s, Denis Healey, the British Defence Secretary instructed Scotland Yard to set up a special task force (led by Frank Williams) to investigate the matter. An alleged lack of evidence gave the incoming Conservative government an excuse to drop the investigation in 1970. On 9 September 1992, a BBC documentary, an investigative report into the massacre titled "In Cold Blood" was aired in the United Kingdom and revealed fresh evidence. The documentary included accounts from witnesses and survivors, including confessions of an ex-Scots Guards soldier and interviews with the Scotland Yard police officers who had investigated the case in 1970. On 8 June 1993, with the help of the MCA Legal Bureau, a petition was presented to Queen Elizabeth II asking that justice be done. On 14 July 1993 a police report was lodged by three survivors, accompanied by the MCA Public Service and Complaints Bureau Chief Michael Chong. On 18 September 1993, however, Gavin Hewitt (Head of South East Asia Department of the Foreign Office, UK) stated that "No new evidence has been uncovered by the British authorities to warrant the setting up of another official inquiry into the alleged massacre of 24 villagers in Batang Kali…" On 30 December 1997, an investigation report was submitted to the Royal Malaysian Police Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Bukit Aman. The case was closed on the grounds of insufficient evidence for prosecution. On 13 July 2004, the DAP, a Malaysian political party, raised the Batang Kali massacre in the Malaysian Parliament. On 25 March 2008, the family members of the massacre victims and several NGOs formed an 'Action Committee Condemning the Batang Kali Massacre' and submitted a petition to the British High Commission in Malaysia. The petition seeks official apology, compensation for the family members of the 24 massacre victims and financial contribution towards the educational and cultural development of the Ulu Yam community. On 30 January 2009, the Foreign Office in Britain rejected a call for an inquiry into the massacre of villagers. On 24 April 2009, the British government announced that it was reconsidering this decision. In January 2012, lawyers for the victims and their families were given Foreign Office correspondence and Cabinet Office guidance relating to the incident. On 30 April 2009, The Independent reported that the British government had agreed to reinvestigate the massacre. Secret papers uncovered by Mrs. Tham's solicitors, Bindmans, reportedly disclose that the colonial Attorney General who exonerated the British troops of any wrongdoing at the time privately believed that mass public executions might deter other insurgents. A second document reveals that officials at the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur had briefed ministers that there was little point in Scotland Yard officers interviewing eyewitnesses in the 1970s because Malaysian villagers were untrustworthy, motivated by compensation and it was "doubtful" they could recall events 22 years earlier. On 2 April 2010, Tham Yong, 78, the last Malaysian adult witness to the alleged massacre of 24 unarmed villagers by British troops in 1948, died, leaving the campaign for an official investigation uncertain. ==Judicial review== Malaysian victims unsuccessfully petitioned the British monarch - Elizabeth II - to re-open an inquiry into the massacre in 1993 and in 2004. They tried again in 2008 and didn't receive a reply from the British government until 2011 when the High Court agreed to review the case. In May 2012 the judicial review on the British government's position was held at the High Court in London. On 4 September 2012, the High Court's judges in London upheld a government decision not to hold a public hearing into the killing. The Court also ruled that Britain was responsible for the killing in Batang Kali. In its written judgement, it said, "There is evidence that supports a deliberate execution of the 24 civilians at Batang Kali." In March 2014, the UK's Court of Appeal announced it would make a ruling on whether a public enquiry will be held into the killings. The move was welcomed by families of the plantation workers who had died at Batang Kali. The British government had earlier rejected calls for a public hearing, a decision that was upheld by the High Court in September 2012. In November 2015 the United Kingdom Supreme Court ruled that the United Kingdom government was not obliged to hold a public inquiry into the 1940s killing of 24 Malayan villagers by a British army patrol, even though it may have been a war crime, because the atrocity occurred too long ago. ==See also== List of massacres in Malaysia British war crimes ==References== ==Further reading== Short, Anthony.

Skier Dude2 (talk) ==Fair use rationale for File:Little Monsters Boy.jpg== Thanks for uploading or contributing to Little Monsters Boy.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) == File:Hitlerhellyeah.jpg listed for deletion == A file that you uploaded or altered, Hitlerhellyeah.jpg, has been listed at Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Cloudbound (talk)

General elections were held in Fiji between 15 and 29 April 1972, the first since independence from the United Kingdom in 1970. They were characterised by the lack of rancour between racial groups, typical of the 1966 general election and the 1968 by-elections. The result was a landslide for the Alliance Party of the Prime Minister, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, which won 33 of the 52 seats, and surprised many observers by capturing almost 25 percent of the Indo-Fijian vote. The Indo-Fijian-dominated National Federation Party, led by Sidiq Koya, won the remaining 19 seats. The election re-affirmed the political allegiances of the past, with the Alliance Party winning all the Fijian Communal seats, with 82% of the votes, as well as all the General Communal seats. The National Federation Party (NFP), on the other hand, won all the Indian Communal sets with 73% of the votes. Voter turnout was 85.2% in the communical seats. After the election, cooperation between the two major parties continued with R. D. Patel of the NFP elected the speaker of the Alliance-dominated House of Representatives. ==Results== ==References== 1972 1972 in Fiji 1972 elections in Oceania
