message: *Heinrich was charged in federal court with 25 counts of child pornography.  The federal penalty for that conduct is more severe than the state penalty, which is why the federal and not the state route was the one taken.  
*He pled guilty to one of those counts; the remainder were dismissed under the plea agreement.
*As the kidnap and murder occurred entirely within the state, there was no basis for federal charges.
*Heinrich has not been charged by the state for the kidnap and murder of Jacob.  He will not be charged for the murder and kidnap under the plea agreement.
*As part of the plea agreement, the state gave up the right to prosecute Heinrich for kidnapping and murder.
*The plea agreement was approved by the Wetterling family.
*When the sentence has been served, Heinrich may remain confined if Minnesota seeks and obtains civil commitment.

thread_title:  Mufarij Ibn Homam?? 

message: Deleting the following unsourced (and some of it repeated) information:
"This foreign Ethiopian origin however is later (racist) speculation, as Arabs frequently enslaved each other as a result of tribal wars. The tribe neglected Antara at first, and he grew up in servitude. Although it was fairly obvious that Shaddad was his father. He was considered one of the "Arab crows" (Al-aghribah Al-'Arab) because of his jet black complexion. 
His being jet black does not cast doubt on the purity of his Arab blood. Lisanul-Arab tells us that the majority of the Arabs then and well into the 13th century were of a dark, blackish, chocolate brown complexion (al-udmah) and were black skinned (aswad al-jildah); blackness being considered a proof of pure Arab ancestry. Antara gained attention and respect for himself by his remarkable personal qualities and courage in battle, excelling as an accomplished poet and a mighty warrior. When the tribe needed his assistance to fend off another tribe in battle, Shaddād acknowledged Antara as his son, and granted him freedom."

thread_title:  Former Lands 

message: I've been expanding the article on Dynamic Structures and I was looking at how the firm entered into the amusement industry. According to their website, they were contacted by a "major North American theme park" to resolve problems with metal fatigue on a roller coaster. Trying to find out which ride and park it was, I came across this interview which says it was a ride at a Disney park in Florida. The only two roller coasters at Walt Disney World in the 1990s were Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain. So to anyone familiar with these rides, which of these rides received maintenance that would qualify as a "redesigned structure" in the 1990s? I've seen Space Mountain had a refurb in 1999, but I think that might be too late, considering Test Track and some of Dynamic Structures' other projects had already opened.

Talk:2005 ATP Tour

message: Hi.  
(1) In no other tennis-related articles are the players' names written in the last-name-first format.  I see no reason why this article (or Wikipedia, for that matter) should use said format.  
(2) More importantly, however, is the fact that the article declares itself to be a list of tournaments played on the ATP Tour (or ATP Tour, 2005 season).  That poses technical problems:  
First, the article lists the Grand Slam events, which are not ATP events (they are ITF events, even though the ATP recognizes them, but they are not "ATP events"); 
Second, a similar situation occurs concerning the Davis Cup, except in this case there's no recognition from the ATP. 
To avoid this, I suggest renaming the article to something like "Tennis in 2005", then we can list ATP events, the Grand Slam events and the Davis Cup matches without any technicalities getting in the way.  Regards, Redux 16:14, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I wrote the above comment a while back.  After thinking about it, I thing the playful nature of the stocks were part of the punishment, (at least with respect to the tickling aspect).  image that a person has been placed in them with a bunch of eager ticklers standing around.

Category talk:Photographers by nationality

message: This category strikes me as ill-conceived and potentially harmful. I've nominated it previously on CFD and it's been mostly cleaned out, but now it looks like it's being repopulated.  The reason why I think it's a bad idea is that it breaks orthogonality and makes things hard to find.
About the first point, the key question is, in what sense is a French photographer more than a French person who happens to be a photographer? Why not put every French photographer in a category "French people" and the category "Photographers"?  Also, it entails that American photojournalist who covered a major war and worked for Magnum have to be put in three or four subcategories of Category:Photographers. This strikes me as somewhat odd.
Second, imagine a reader looking up Category:Photographers because he's looking for information on, say, "Helmut Newton" without remembering his exact name.  In the "photographers by nationality" scheme, such a reader would have to browse through several subcategories before being able to find the desired entry.
Compare the situation with :Category:Mathematicians, which is much larger than the present category. There every mathematicians is listed under Category:Mathematicians first and then possibly  under specific subcategories (by field and/or nationality). --MarkSweep 17:40, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
