Tenacious D
Thanks for your contribution of some quotes from Tenacious D - a very worthy page to be included here. I just wanted to refer you to Templates to explain why I've added the "no-intro" and "cleanup" tags to the page. It needs a little more than just stating that one can go to Wikipedia to read about Tenacious D. The cleanup refers to proper formatting of quotes, which you can see on other pages or in the templates. Thanks for you contribution! UDScott 21:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Henry Ford

Any color, as long as it is black
In Henry Ford´s 1923 autobiography "Henry Ford - My life and work" he quotes himself as saying "Any customer can have a car painted any colour he wants so long as it is black.".

According to the BBC program QI the quote "People can have the Model T in any color - so long as it's black." OR: "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black." Was never actually said by Henry Ford or at least there is no evidence he did do.

Luke Corcoran, United Kingdom

Really? I won a table quiz on that quote as a kid. I'm disillusioned.

 * He did say this; the quote is from his autobiography. Incidentally, the spelling of colour with a 'u' is intentional. Despite being an American, that is how it is spelled in his autobiography. 137.201.242.130 14:54, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the point being made in QI was that, whether or not Henry Ford said it, it was untrue - early Model T Fords were not black. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 11:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Exactly -- he generated this quip after the more fully adopting the assembly line. After he realized that drying paint took the longest of any step, he had his factory switch to the fastest drying paint they could find, which, of course, was black. --JamesDMurray 14:42, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

History and fact
Something like "History is just one damn fact after another" (Jared Diamond, Guns, Gems and Steel, p. 420) is attributed to Henry Ford by a few pages on the web. Another (peer-reviewed?) reference from 1991 mentions Woodrow Wilson as the source. Any comments? - Fnielsen 11:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

about communism/socialism
I recall reading in a Reader's digest once that he said something in the lines of "Socialism is an attempt to everybody make a living without having to work", but I'm not sure.

Part of the quotes here are moved back to the article, or moved up to the above section.

 * there is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something

 * The secret to success is to understand the point of view of others.

"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right."
I think this quote is apocryphal. The earliest variation of the quote I can find in Wikibooks is from the Franternal Monitor in 1962. But I found an earlier connection with Henry Ford and the basic quote as part of a poem in Napoleon Hill's The Law of Success, where they appear on the same page in 1946, but clearly is not a quotation of Henry Ford. Thus, I suspect that later attributions originated from this. It appears that the original sentiment came from the poem Thinking by Walter D. Wintle.

I think this should be added to a misattributed section, but I wanted to put it out to the community first. --Jacob J. Walker (talk) 05:17, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Can you cite any notable or seemingly plausible sources that attribute this to Ford, or is it just something found in internet chatter? ~ Ningauble (talk) 11:51, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

 * According to Google Books, there are around 649 books that attribute that quote to Henry Ford. So the misattribution is fairly common. I started to research it, because my daughter saw the "quote" at her school on a poster. And while I agree fully with the sentiment of it, I don't like inaccurate information to be disseminated in schools. --Jacob J. Walker (talk) 13:17, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

 * I am not impressed by the gravitas of those books, but the attribution does appear to be repeated in print widely enough to be worth debunking. Franternal Monitor in 1962 does appear to be the earliest known attribution to Ford. The earliest occurrence I found of this exact aphorism (with "...you're absolutely right") was a year earlier in a first-person essay, without attribution to anyone, in Field Notes, Vol. 61 (1961: Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company), p. 21; but I can't identify the author from Google's snippet view. Being attributed to Ford just a few months later looks like a classic case of a close corollary to the the second axiom of misquotation: memorable words need famous authors. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:54, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

 * A quick Google search came up with an entry on the website Quote Investigator that lists a September 1947 attribution to Henry Ford in Readers Digest that is similar to this quote. According to them, the original quote was "Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right," and was published five months after Ford's death. http://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/02/03/you-can/ Littlejohn657 (talk) 19:43, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Shouldn't the quote be in a section "disputed", or something like that? Now it is nowhere.95.80.245.142 09:15, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

"If I’d asked people what they wanted, they would have asked for a better horse"
Does anyone know if this quote is apocryphal, or did Ford really say it? 141.197.8.183 16:37, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Ford did say that, but it's "... said faster horses" instead of "... asked for a better horse"

I, too, would like to see a source for this. It seems that this quote has become VERY common in the past two years, but was not used at all before that. Can someone look through their quote books to find this pre-2000s, perhaps even pre-1990?

Tom Wood contacted the Henry Ford Museum which has an archive of his letters and writings. They politely declined to help but with this rather telling statement: “In the past research on this topic has not yielded satisfactory results either for the researcher or the research staff. Mr. Ford wrote numerous articles for a variety of periodicals and newspapers and the quotes attributed to him were varied and often unsubstantiated.'

Source Another source

There is no evidence that Ford ever said this. It only began being attributed to Ford in the early 2000s. Earlier versions of the quote have nothing to do with Ford. Source

"If you need a machine and don't buy it, you will ultimately find that you have paid for it and don't have it."
This one is painted up and down the tubes (google who said "if you need a machine and don't buy it") Haven't located a source. 108.232.106.174 05:09, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

The Clay Worker magazine of 1926 vol. 85-86 p. 230 (well within Ford's lifetime!) has the quote as "If you need a machine, you pay for it, whether you get it or not." But no source.

The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debts.
I cannot find any sources for this, but it's a very important thought. (- I think I read it in the International Jew)

The International Jew, Volume 1, Chapter 17 "There is nothing that the International Jew fears so much as the truth, or any hint of the truth about himself or his plans." Read the last line here: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_International_Jew/Volume_1/Chapter_17

"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs"
I see this ascribed to Henry Ford in various places, notably the Civilization game series as an aphorism related to replaceable parts or the assembly line. Any source?98.206.218.218 04:50, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Hitler !?!?!
not true The quote ascribed to Hitler by Bill McGraw has any countercheck? I mean: if Ford was an inspiration to Hitler, how could he never be nominated, not even a single time, in Mein Kampf or in any other speech by Hitler except in this book of the 1999?

Important quote not in here
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

Why is this quote not in here!? I'd have added it right now if I knew what time he made it.

 * That's a good question. This has been addressed in this Skeptics.StackExchange post, and it turns out to have been a paraphrasing, by congressman Charles Binderup, of a passage of Ford's 1922 book "My Like and Work" (emphasis mine):

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Widely quoted in quote collections and social media, but I haven't been able to find a primary source. W\|/haledad (Talk to me) 16:32, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

 * It is quite clear that according to Google Books the quote When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. is:
 * First mentioned without attribution in : Vern McLellan (1988), Shredded Wit, p. 166, and
 * First attributed to Henry Ford in:
 * Jan Bailey, Jan Bailey Mattia, Patty Marler (1996). Job Hunting Made Easy. p. 77
 * United States. Army Recruiting Command, United States. Army Recruiting Command. Public Affairs Office (1996). Recruiter journal, Vol. 49. p. 6
 * Words of Wisdom, Gramercy Books, 1998, p. 154
 * It is however unclear how this information should be interpreted: Disputed or even Misattributed. None of these three sources seem to be very authoritative, and none of the more recent sources give more detailed information. -- Mdd (talk) 18:08, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it
I haven't found this quote attributed to anyone but Ford on the internet. As a result, I am surprised it is not attributed to Henry Ford here. Taxee (talk) 22:57, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Ford said it, but not exactly as described above on the first occasion it was published (April, 1928), thus I have made a correction in the main article. Ford stated "...is the probable reason..." NOT "...is probably the reason..." (which came later, in an article published in 1929).

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.
Hi,

this quote is all over the place (internet) attributed to Henry Ford. Is anybody able to weigh in whether that's we he said originally or it's from somebody else?

Thanks

The only real mistake
I just heard this quotation for the first time and I really like it. A Google search shows it widely attributed to Henry Ford, and to nobody else, but there's no source identified. Is it real? Thanks!

 * All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth.

 * Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.

 * Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.

 * Baseball's future? Bigger and bigger, better and better! No question about it, it's the greatest game there is!

 * By the time you know what to do, you're too old to do it.

 * DiMaggio was the greatest all-around player I ever saw. His career cannot be summed up in numbers and awards. It might sound corny, but he had a profound and lasting impact on the country.

 * God gets you to the plate, but once you're there you're on your own.

 * Golf is the only sport where the ball doesn't move until you hit it.

 * Hitting a baseball — I've said it a thousand times — is the single most difficult thing to do in sport.

 * Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders.

 * Hitting is the most important part of the game. It is where the big money is, where much of the status is, and the fan interest.

 * I know how lucky I've been in life, more than anybody will ever know. I've lived a kind of precarious life style, precarious in sports, flying and baseball. And oh boy. I know how lucky I've been.

 * I know— I know all about you. Look, kid, don't ever — ya' understand me? — don't ever let anyone monkey with your swing.
 * To Carl Yastrzemski

 * I'd have been a .290 hitter without a Louisville Slugger.

 * I've found that you don't need to wear a necktie if you can hit.

 * If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.

 * If there is such a thing as a science in sport, hitting a baseball is it. As with any science, there are fundamentals, certain tenets of hitting every good batter or batting coach could tell you. But it is not an exact science.

 * If there was ever a man born to be a hitter it was me.

 * If you get fooled by a pitch with less than two strikes, take it.

 * In spite of all the terrible things that have been said about me by the knights of the keyboard up there... And they were terrible things, I'd like to forget them, but I can't. I want to say that my years in Boston have been the greatest thing in my life.

 * Just keep going. Everybody gets better if they keep at it.

 * Making good contact with a round ball and round bat even if you know what's coming is hard to do. That seems to be the one major thing that all young players have difficulty with. Why? It's the hardest thing to do in sports. So that's the reason baseball is a hard game to play.

 * People always told me that my natural ability and good eyesight were the reasons for my success as a hitter. They never talk about the practice, practice, practice.

 * Set your goal. Stay focused. And you'll succeed.

 * The best sound I ever heard in my life was a ball hit with a bat.

 * The inside half of the plate. That's where history's made.

 * The only thing dumber than a pitcher is two pitchers.

 * The two things I'm proudest of in my life, is that I became a Marine pilot and that I became a member of Baseball's Hall of Fame.

 * There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.

 * There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher.

 * They invented the All-Star game for Willie Mays.

 * Think. Don't just swing. Think about the pitcher, what he threw you last time up, his best pitch, who's up next. Think.

 * Ya gotta be ready for the fastball.

 * You can't imagine the warm feeling I had, for the very fact that I had done what every ballplayer would want to do on his last time up, having wanted to do it so badly, and knowing how the fans really felt, how happy they were for me. Maybe I should have let them know I knew, but I couldn't. It just wouldn't have been me.

 * You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tshirt. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tshirt~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Category talk:Fundamental

Recategorizing
All articles, it seems to me, in this category should be categorized under themes (directly or indirectly), with the possible exception of "List of categories" (which I'm not sure what the use of -- is it meant to replace Category schemes)?

So here is my suggestion:
 * 1) Move Famous last words to Last words (notability is implied in wikiquote, and "famous" is really a bad word here) and recategorize under Themes
 * 2) Split Famous tongue twisters to pages like English tongue twisters, categorize under Category:Tongue twisters which would be categorized under Themes.
 * 3) Categorize Advertising slogans under Themes.
 * 4) Categorize Epitaphs under Themes.
 * 5) Redirect List of categories to Category schemes
 * 6) Recategorize Category:People under Category:Main page
 * 7) * If all the above are done, this would leave in this category only Category:Lists and Category:Science fiction.
 * 8) Recategorize Category:Main page under Category:Fundamental: this means the top-level will have two categories: Fundamental (which would be thought of as "Content categories") and Wikiquote (which would be thought of as "Process categories").

I believe all these suggestions will finally bring coherence to the "top-level" of the wikiquote category schemes. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 07:39, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I think that 1-4 are obvious good ideas: (A) "Fundamental" itself is rather artificial, so "Themes" is better; (B) I concur that "famous" is superfluous; and (C) our tongue-twister list is getting huge. I'll have to think about the others, simply because I don't recall offhand where we left Category organization, and I know it'll take me some time to ponder these points. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:18, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I intend to implement 1-4 within a week, if there are no objections. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:44, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

 * No objections on my part. It seems to be a good idea. ~ Kalki 19:09, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Re (1): Wikiquote may implicitly imply "notable", but "famous last words" does not connote the same thing as "notable last words". I haven't looked at that page; in which group does it fall?  121a0012 04:13, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

 * That was the point of "famous is a bad word": I did not say it means the same thing -- I meant to say it shouldn't mean what it means right now, because we fame is a POV concept (as opposed to notability, which is NPOV if vague). Just like we do not have a category famous people because everyone should be notable, and we do not categorize based on fame :) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 07:44, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * No, I think you missed my point. "Famous last words" has a distinct meaning; it does not mean the same thing as "last words which happen to be famous" or "last words of famous people".  I took a look at the article, and it seems to be rather a mish-mosh of Famous Last Words, Last Words of the Famous, and Last Words of People Alleged to be Notable Who I've Never Heard Of.  121a0012 01:34, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * But all are "Notable last words". Every "Famous last word" :) is "Notable", but not vice-versa. And I doubt you could find a meaning for "Famous last words" which is NPOV... ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 05:35, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * 1-4 are done now. I am going to take 5-7 to a more appropriate venue. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 07:26, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Discussions in the rest of the suggestions is moved to Wikiquote talk:Category schemes. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 07:28, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Mixing fundamental categories, or not
I notice a few subcategories cross the lines between Fundamental categories, e.g.: ...just to name a few. This has led to some odd situations, such as: I think the distinction between fundamental categories is very useful, and continuing to mix them up will render them useless. I have done it myself, and now consider it a mistake. Instead, we can use "see also" in a theme category to indicate related categories of people or productions (works). Before I attempt to "clean up" the situation, does anyone else have opinions on this? ~ Ningauble 18:28, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * People included in Themes
 * Category:Historians under Category:History
 * Category:Australians under Category: Australia
 * Productions included in Themes
 * Category:Comedy films under Category:Comedy
 * Category:Buddhist texts under Category:Buddhism
 * Britons are in the United Kingdom but Americans are not in the United States
 * Category:War includes War criminals but not Military leaders

 * Returning to this a few weeks later, I still think it would be a good idea to clean this up. There are a dozen or two crossovers. I will go ahead and sort them out. ~ Ningauble 15:20, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Image perhaps relevant to discussion on "Dr. Crane". This image tells almost nothing but a certain book exists - only inperfect copyright information & index. But the biggest problem is no information is available on its own copyright status! (no photograher info, no licence ...). Already Kalki informed this uploader we need not it and if it is under free licence, it would be better to upload on commons.

Offhand, I can't think of any ordinary image that would be appropriate for Wikiquote that wouldn't be at least as appropriate for Wikipedia, so they should all be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons instead. Perhaps we should disable image uploading here? — Jeff Q (talk) 00:30, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: A proposal worthy to consider. French Wikipedia allows its editors to upload images copyrighted and never used on encyclopediac artices (and most of such images will decorate their user pages or talks). Unless we have a similar policy and have our own facebook, and unless we don't use fair use image, I think Jeff Q's idea "upload disabled" is very reasonable. Some projects which don't allow Fair Use images, like French Wikinews, make upload function disabled for your information. --Aphaia 01:43, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I hope we can ask the copyright holder to expand their permission to the entire Wikimedia project, but currently we have no explicit permission in my humble opinion. --Aphaia 19:32, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: The other picture, Image:T ym2.jpg, has the same restricted license from Wikipedia. I don't believe we are legally permitted to keep either of these images without obtaining explicit permission. However, I don't feel I can properly close this vote. There are two evenly divided explicit votes (although one can arguably infer a "delete" from Rmhermen's original posting), which would imply no consensus, but since that has the same effect as my "keep" vote, I feel it might be controversial. I propose we close this vote as inconclusive, immediately request explicit permission for the use of one or both of these photos, and then revote for deletion whichever image we don't have permission for, or that we think we don't need. — Jeff Q (talk) 06:15, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

User talk:Alex brollo

~ MosheZadka (Talk) 11:44, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Problems
Hi, Alex! I am afraid I did not quite understand what you found "hard": Wikiquote uses the same software as the wikipedias and the commons, so your previous experience should be enough. If you run up against specific problems, please let me know. In regards to the problem you talked about, I didn't quite understand: do red links not lead you into "edit article" page? They do for me, I'm using Mozilla Firefox on W2K, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Thanks for your contributions so far! ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Well!

Here's what I see where a red link after a search of "No hoof, no horse" (a "horse proverb" very well known in rider communities) should be:

 * No page with this exact title exists, trying full text search.

 * I create a "Theme" Horses, because I'm a low-grade "horse expert"

(as a member of Barefoot movement).

 * I also added "No hoof, no horse" to the page "English articles", but

what I didn't understand is: every sentence/proverb has an its own "Article", or not? If I create an "Person" article (Jaime Jackson, farrier, and autoritative author of horse books), then his quotes listed into the page will be found?

 * Simply, I have to study more. Nevertheless, I think that indexing is

much more complex in WikiQuote than in other wiki environments. If you can give me some shortcut to the right Help page... thanks!--Alex brollo 20:38, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

The Goodbye Girl

The Goodbye Girl is a 1977 film about an actor who sublets an apartment which already contains a divorcée and her daughter. The three must learn to live together despite rubbing each other the wrong way.
 * Directed by Herbert Ross. Written by Neil Simon.

Thank you Neil Simon for making us laugh at falling in love…again. (taglines)

Elliot Garfield

 * I play the guitar whenever I cannot sleep, and I meditate every morning, complete with chanting and burning incense, so if you have to walk around I'd appreciate a little tiptoeing. Also: I sleep in the nude. "Au buffo." Winter and summer, rain or snow, with the windows open. And because I may have to go to the potty or to the fridge in the middle of the night, and because I do not want to put on jammies which I do not own in the first place, unless you're looking for a quick thrill or your daughter an advanced education I'd keep my door closed.
 * I will bring home anyone or anything I chose including a one-eyed Episcopalian Kangaroo if that happens to be my kinky inclination.
 * after being told not to bring any female guests into the apartment
 * If you were a Broadway musical, people would be humming your face.
 * "It never occurred to us that William Shakespeare wrote the Wizard of Oz. However, Elliot Garfield makes a splendid Wicked Witch of the North." Tacky. Tacky. Well, if they're gonna kill me. Let 'em kill me with panache.
 * reading a review of his disastrous Richard III performance
 * Miss McFadden, today I begin rehearsals for my first New York play. It will be the most important day of my life. Am I nervous? No, I am not nervous. For I have meditated. I am relaxed. I am calm. I am confident. You, on the other hand, have not meditated, and therefore you are a pain in the ass.
 * My careereth is over. I am making a horseth asseth of myselfeth. Mark, I'm begging you. I'm BEGGING you. You want this kind of performance? Let me play Lady Anne.
 * during a rehearsal of Richard III in which his director has made him play the title character as a flamboyant homosexual
 * What is it about you that makes a man with a hundred forty-seven I.Q. feel like a dribbling idiot?
 * You know I liked you from the first time I met you when you answered the door. I said to myself, "This is the best half-a-face I ever saw!"
 * You know I love listening to you talk. I hate living with you but your conversation is first rate.
 * You're not the only one who can yell rape, you know.

Dialogue

 * Elliot Garfield: I happen to have a lease in my pocket. Are you gonna honor it or what?
 * Paula McFadden: I have a daughter in my bedroom. That tops the lease in your pocket.

 * Paula McFadden: I thought you said you were decent.
 * Elliot Garfield: I am decent. I also happen to be naked.

 * Lucy McFadden: [upon awaking at dawn to Elliot's chanting] What's that?
 * Paula McFadden: Sounds like God.
 * Lucy McFadden: I smell strawberries burning.
 * Paula McFadden: That's incense.
 * Lucy McFadden: What's incense?
 * Paula McFadden: It is what I am feeling right now.

 * Lucy McFadden: [after Elliot's play flops] Congratulations!
 * Elliot Garfield: For what?
 * Lucy McFadden: I didn't know what else to say.

 * Elliot Garfield: [after hearing that his play has closed] That's okay. Now I'm free to take that other job.
 * Lucy McFadden: What other job?
 * Elliot Garfield: I'm looking, I'm looking!

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called *drew. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name *drew~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
