1977 in film

The year 1977 in film involved some significant events.

Highest-grossing films (U.S.)
The top ten 1977 released films by box office gross in North America are as follows:

Events

 * February 23 – During a press conference at Sardi's in Manhattan, it is officially announced that Christopher Reeve will be playing the role of Superman.
 * March 28 – At the 49th Academy Awards, Rocky picks up the Academy Award for Best Picture. Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway, and Beatrice Straight all win Oscars for their performances in Network for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress, while Jason Robards wins for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in All the President's Men. He will win again the following year, becoming the only person to win two consecutive Best Supporting Actor awards.
 * May 25 – Star Wars opens in theatres and becomes the highest-grossing film of the year. The film revolutionises the use of special effects in film and television production. It also embraces the notion of omitting any sort of opening credits sequence. Lucas, told by the Directors Guild of America that he must have an opening credits sequence, instead distributes the film independently, sans the opening credits. The film's release is often considered one of the most important events in film history.
 * June 22 – Walt Disney Productions releases The Rescuers, which brings back an interest in animation that had been lost to both filmgoers and critics throughout the beginning of the 1970s.
 * November 16 – Close Encounters of the Third Kind opens to widespread critical acclaim and massive box office success, becoming one of the top-grossing films to date and cementing Steven Spielberg's status as one of the most talented and profitable film directors of all time.
 * December 5 – The Solar System, produced and directed by Thomas G. Smith for Encyclopaedia Britannica Films, is released. It led to the producer hiring Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), a company producing visual effects for films such as the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films.

Awards
Palme d'Or (Cannes Film Festival):

Talk:Scandium

Classification
This article says that scandium "has been classified as a rare-earth element, together with yttrium and the lanthanides." That's inconsistent with the article on transition metals, which includes scandium. I suggest that it would be better to follow the example of the yttrium article, which classifies yttrium first and foremost as a transition metal while noting that it has also been classified as a rare-earth. Tom239 (talk) 17:31, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

 * There are various classifications.
 * As a geochemist & mineralogist, I treat Sc, Y, and Th, as ones belonging to the REE group.
 * The constitution of the REE group has little to do with one elements' placing or non-placing in the d or f block. It has to do with common geochemical behaviour of these elements = behaviour in the nature. Thus, in minerals, Th is almost always coexisting with the Ln, but also with Y; and the latter - very often with Sc. The more, both Sc and Ln belong to the HFSE (high-field strength elements) group.Eudialytos (talk) 23:05, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Perhaps the text should be updated to say this? 67.198.37.16 (talk) 02:47, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

List of governors of Greenland

This is a list of governors of Greenland. The position was established, after the positions of inspectors of Greenland was abolished. In 1950, the two governors (landsfogeder) were collected into the Governor of all of Greenland (landshøvding). The position was abolished in 1979, following Greenland's gain of home rule.

Superintendent of Greenland (1728–1730)
Poul Hansen Egede (1730–1789)

Governor of North Greenland (1925–1950)

 * Nordgrønlands landsfoged

Governor of South Greenland (1925–1950)

 * Sydgrønlands landsfoged

Governor of Greenland (1950–1979)

Thortveitite

Thortveitite is a rare mineral consisting of scandium yttrium silicate (Sc,Y)2Si2O7. It is the primary source of scandium. Occurrence is in granitic pegmatites. It was named after Olaus Thortveit, a Norwegian engineer. It is grayish-green, black or gray in color.

A transparent gem quality example was found in 2004, and reported in The Journal of Gemmology.

Euxenite

Euxenite, or euxenite-(Y) (the official mineralogical name), is a brownish black mineral with a metallic luster.

Chemistry
It contains calcium, niobium, tantalum, cerium, titanium, yttrium, and typically uranium and thorium, with some other metals. The chemical formula is. It is commonly partially amorphous due to radiation damage.

Euxenite forms a continuous series with the titanium rich polycrase-(Y) having the formula.

Name and discovery
It was first described in 1870 and named for from the Greek (εὔξενος), hospitable or friendly to strangers, in allusion to the many rare elements that it contains.

Occurrence
It occurs in granite pegmatites and detrital black sands.

It is found in many locations worldwide, notably its type locality in 	Jølster, Sunnfjord, Norway. Other locations include the Ural Mountains of Russia; Sweden; Minas Gerais, Brazil; Ampangabe, Madagascar; Ontario, Canada; and in Arizona, Wyoming and Colorado in the US.

Use
Euxenite is used as an ore of the rare earth elements it contains. Rare large crystals have also been used in jewelry.

Gadolinite

Gadolinite, sometimes known as ytterbite, is a silicate mineral consisting principally of the silicates of cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, yttrium, beryllium, and iron with the formula (Ce,La,Nd,Y)2FeBe2Si2O10. It is called gadolinite-(Ce) or gadolinite-(Y), depending on the prominent composing element (Y if yttrium predominates, and Ce if cerium). It may contain 35.5% yttria sub-group rare earths, 2.2% ceria earths, as much as to 11.6% BeO, and traces of thorium. It is found in Sweden, Norway, and the US (Texas and Colorado).

Characteristics
Gadolinite is fairly rare and typically occurs as well-formed crystals. It is nearly black in color and has a vitreous luster. The hardness is between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs scale, and the specific gravity is between 4.0 and 4.7. It fractures in a conchoidal pattern and streaks grayish-green. It was also thought to exhibit pyrognomic properties, as it can emit visible light when heated to relatively low temperatures, but the scientific consensus is that this is the product of thermoluminescence.

Name and discovery
Gadolinite was named in 1800 for Johan Gadolin, the Finnish mineralogist-chemist who first isolated an oxide of the rare-earth element yttrium from the mineral in 1792. The rare earth gadolinium was also named after him. However, gadolinite does not contain more than trace amounts of gadolinium. When Gadolin analyzed this mineral, he missed an opportunity to discover a second element: the element he thought was aluminium (alumina) was in fact beryllium (beryllia), an element that was not officially identified until 1798.

Several elements were discovered as a consequence of lengthy analysis and decomposition of the ore gadolinite. As the ore was progressively analysed, the residue was first given the label ceria, then lanthana, and subsequently yttria, erbia, and terbia. In order of date discovered, the list of elements includes cerium, lanthanum, erbium, terbium, yttrium, ytterbium, holmium, thulium, scandium, praseodymium, neodymium and dysprosium. Several of these new elements were either discovered or isolated by Carl Gustaf Mosander in the 1830s and 1840s.

Uses
Gadolinite and euxenite are quite abundant and are future sources of yttrium sub group rare earths. At present, these elements are recovered from monazite concentrates (after recovery of ceria sub-group metals).

Error in data
Last column of data in "Climate data for Eivissa Airport 6 metres (20 feet) (1981–2010)" does not state year of record as last column called Year specifies.Meroitte (talk) 05:10, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Pronunciation in British English (BBC English)
'''The official name of the island is in Catalan Eivissa (pronounced [əjˈvisə]). Its name in Spanish is Ibiza (pronounced [iˈβiθa]). In British English, the name is usually pronounced in an approximation of the Spanish /aɪˈbiːθə/,[4] whereas in American English the pronunciation is closer to Latin American Spanish (/ɪˈbiːzə/,[5] /iːˈbiːsə/[6]).[7][8]'''

according to Jones' ENGLISH PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY (15TH ED.), the name is pronounced /ɪˈbiːθə/ in BBC English. People with no knowledge at all of Spanish may of course use a diphthong/glide /aɪ/, but that doesn't mean it's a standard pronunc. per se imho.

Wathiik (talk) 12:08, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

 * This is still left in a misleading mode on the main page - it's clear to me and those I know (as a Southern Englander) that the island's name is pronounced 'Ih' as in 'it', 'bee', 'tha', (or 'Ib' as in 'Ibsen', 'ee', 'tha'). Rarely it gets pronounced as 'Eebeetha', but most who use the name in my own presence (and on public broadcast services in the UK) are quite aware that 'Eye-bee-tha' is wrong. Frankly, I am astonished that Wikipedia is YET AGAIN perpetuating a social myth of localised cultural ignorance pertaining to the UK, without any evidence to support it as a general assertion.

Please repeat the “pronunciation”. Jacquelene L. Corbett (talk) 23:41, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Can you put this is plain English as I'm trying to solve an argument. I was told that the 'th' pronunciation of 'z' is only in Castillian Spain, not the other parts (ie Catalan, of which Ibiza derives its language). So if Catalans pronounce z as a 'z' or 's' sound, that means Ibiza is 'Ibeesa' and not 'Ibeetha'?101.164.235.226 (talk) 07:09, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Catalan?
In Ibiza they speak Mallorquin and not Catalan, There are no Catalan-speaking countries. Catalonia were a few counties in the past who joined the Aragon crown for economic reasons. But there was a kingdom on the islands, just like in Valencia. Enough of Catalan propaganda. And by the way I am going to ask for the protection of the article because from what I see the IP that is dedicated to spreading propaganda comes from Catalonia itself. Enough already. I'm from Ibiza and I'm neither Catalan nor do I want to be. Majorcan is spoken here, but everyone speaks Spanish. Catalonia never had a kingdom or flag, the flag it uses is that of the crown of Aragon without royal distinctions. I do not know what the Catalan independentistas want but they already have the president of their autonomous community being a fugitive from justice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.165.48.6 (talk • contribs) 22:05, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid your point of view is not supported by any academic source. --Jotamar (talk) 21:02, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * This is false. Catalan is considered the official language of Ibiza – it's not as widely spoken as Castilian (Spanish), or perhaps English for that matter, but it's still spoken across the island. Many road signs, beach names, etc. are written in Spanish and/or Catalan. Even some of the local news shows are presented in a mix of Spanish/Catalan. Collector326 (talk) 17:35, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

"Elite" Netflix series
Ibiza is referenced often (with respect to its "empress")--and set as a scene (at least?) once--in the Netflix series "Elite." Someone please write up/include something about this in the "In popular culture" section! 😺 philiptdotcom (talk) 03:52, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Ground zero

Merge
Now that there's an article for The Pile, could most of the WTC stuff be moved there? -- Tarquin
 * Ground Zero denots a explosionplace of a bomb or of a raket above the ground. Since september the 11th 2001 denots the concept for the destroyed World Trade Center in new York (Ground Zero New York)
 * Ground Zero is the point of the world with the serious Damager of a bombexplosion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.68.182.226 (talk) 14:38, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Broken link
Japanese spelling is "グラウンド·ゼロ".But,the link "&" is not jump to "グラウンド·ゼロ". Modeha 05:53, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * I've tried, But it seems to me that it have no problems. Please check. Wandering perfect fool 10:22, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)

disambiguation
I agree that this page could use some disambiguation. The definition of the term (its first use at the Trinity site) should remain central, I think. There are currently 10 other uses, not counting external links. There are two uses that clearly should be separated out: its use for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and its use for the September 11th, 2001 attacks. The page should be disambiguated accordingly. Any thoughts on this?
 * I've split the other uses section into a new disambiguation article, so it's a little better now. -- Bovineone 04:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

merge proposal
I don't think The Pile needs to be a full article itself. Should either be merged (back?) here or into World Trade Center site. --Grocer 01:12, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd second it going into the World Trade Center site page. By no means should it be here. --Swift 07:59, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll be bold then. --Grocer 14:22, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've moved the entire contents of The Pile to World Trade Center site. --Grocer 07:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

First Paragraph
I have updated the first paragraph to remove the contrdiction of the definitions of hypocenter and epicenter. I believe that 'ground zero' should refer to the point on the ground nearest to the explosion. In that case, ground zero is the same as the epicenter of earthquakes and the hypocenter of above-ground explosions. Astronaut 18:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Furthermore, with airborne nuclear blasts, the site directly under the blast is not the point of most destruction. That should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.190.141.210 (talk) 13:06, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * It seems pretty obvious to me that the point of greatest destruction would be closest to the nuclear blast, so perhaps you would like to explain first why you believe that is not so. Astronaut (talk) 21:40, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Last Paragraph (Katrina)
In the short list of cities affected, the presence of the state names left me with the confusing impression three whole states had been affected. Although it is common practice in the US to add the state, I don't think it is necessary to do this here; after all when I see "New Orleans" and "Katrina" I know we are talking about New Orleans, Louisiana. Astronaut 19:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Images

 * Hello Astronaut.
 * 1) Your revert of my edit has me confused. MY image placement (although not perfect) was an improvement to the previous that had the Dome in Hiroshima beside the History of the term, Ground zero, as it relates to the Manhattan Project. Your edit placed the World Trade Centre beside the description of The Pentagon. Your edit also removed an image of the Pentagon. My intention was to improve the article by placing the images (and adding the Pentagon one) in their correct places as per the text. My edit rectified this problem by placing the WTC in its correct position. Could you please explain your blind edit-apart from stating it is an improvement, What has it improved?

 * 2) To answer your question, it makes sense to include the State when writing articles as there are people in the world (apart from Americans) who maybe don't know that New Orleans is in the State of Louisiana, let alone the United States.

Cheers!--Read-write-services 00:06, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Regarding the general image placement, the World Trade Center picture did appear next to the World Trade Center paragraph - maybe it depends on the browser. Also, I think using the caption text "World Trade Center site (Ground Zero)" is better than "Ground Zero (WTC site)", because not everyone would associate WTC with the World Trade Center.

 * As for the image of the Pentagon, it is too generic. The same picture appears in the Pentagon's article and I think it is unnecessary to also use it here.  However, if there was a close-up picture of the Pentagon's open centre or a picture of the Ground Zero Cafe, I think that would be a lot better and illustrate the paragraph quite nicely.

 * Another editor has removed explicit mention of Hurricane Katrina. However, I think my point on this talk page is a good one.  The previous wording was: "...New Orleans, Slidell, Louisiana, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Waveland, Mississippi, and Mobile, Alabama."  I found that hard to read and it gave me the incorrect impression that whole states were affected.  As each city was wiki-linked to the correct city anyway, removing the wiki-linked states made a lot of sense to me.  I certainly know that New Orleans is in Louisiana, Biloxi is in Mississippi, and Mobile is in Alabama; and all are in the USA.  Such pointless additional information only makes it harder to understand.
 * Astronaut 12:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Just found this image - a photo of the Ground Zero Cafe - here (you will have to click on the correct photo to read the accompaninying text. Perhaps we could use this photo instead of the generic pentagon shot (I think it's public domain because it's on a US-military site).  Astronaut 01:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

 * hello again Astronaut,

Could you please use the image (as suggested by you) above, because (Embarrassed) I'm not sure how to do this without creating a huge mess. Regards--Read-write-services 23:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion to merge Hypocenter into Ground zero
I have suggested this merger because the two terms appear to have the same (or very similar) meanings. There is a lot of overlap in the content of the two articles, and the topic would best be served with only one article. Ground zero is the more commonly used phrase, so hypocenter should be merged into it. —gorgan_almighty 12:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that the two terms are (presently) used interchangeably, however this does not make it right. The term Hypocentre is (correct me if I'm wrong) also a mathematical/geometrical concept as well, so really the term is not limited to ground zero applications. I would prefer to keep them seperated until there is further discussion on this.--Read-write-services 22:53, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

No Merge. There is some overlap, but they are different terms. Hypocenter is a scientific term related to earthquakes and extended to include explosions. Ground-zero is a modern colloquial term for a major destructive event on the surface of the Earth that has been extended to include events with a major cultural impact. They can only be used interchangably in the case of above ground explosions. If anything, it should be the other way round - merge Ground-zero into Hypocentre. Hypocentre is the more commonly used phrase and covers cases where ground-zero is not really applicable (eg. the actual location of an earthquake beneath the ground). Ground-zero is really a specific case of a hypocentre. Astronaut 10:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I think 2 weeks has been long enough to discuss this. I think both Read-write-services and I have made good arguments, so let's keep the articles separate (for now). I have removed the merge tags. Astronaut 11:53, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Earliest use for September 11
I found a use of "Ground Zero" on CBS News at 7:47 p.m. on September 11, and have added it to the article. The reporter said, "…as it's being described", suggesting that there may be even earlier uses on television coverage that day. I welcome anyone else to browse through the coverage of the day's events at Internet Archive's September 11 Television Archive, for an earlier use of the term. — Walloon (talk) 16:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Please
This isn't a tragedy, it's an atrocity. The site should be called by its proper name: The World Trade Center.Thefactis (talk) 05:13, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

 * This article is about the term Ground Zero and not specifically about the World Trade Centre. The usage of the term Ground Zero as it applies to the WTC is covered in this article and the WTC also has it's own page.  Astronaut (talk) 10:56, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Definition
Epicenter is the standard for the origin point of earthquakes; Patient Zero is the standard for the starting point of epidemics.

A Citation has been requested in order to ensure that no mistake has been made here. Anarchangel (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 08:02, 13 September 2008 (UTC).

 * I agree. Unfortunately, the expression "ground zero" has been used increasingly by the press as a generic phrase for the centre of a great calamity.  I will try to find something I can cite.  Astronaut (talk) 10:23, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

The term was first used on the atomic bomb projects because the intended use of the weapon would be as an airburst. Therefore the jargon developed to talk about effects of the bomb at ground zero, ground plus 100 metres, ground plus 250 metres, and so on. Relative distance from the hypocentre (ie the ground) was used instead of an absolute altitude (eg 750 metres above sea level) as it is more meaningful. So to agree with Astronaut, we need a cited source - anyone? It jutifies the exchangeability of hypocentre and ground zero I think, and also casts a light on the more modern (and usually incorrect usage) of ground zero Mungo Shuntbox (talk) 12:40, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Hiroshima Dome 1945.gif
The image Image:Hiroshima Dome 1945.gif is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. --14:16, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I disagree. Non-free historic image covers all fair use rationale requirements for it's use in this article.  Duplicating the exact same template is not necessary.  Astronaut (talk) 12:56, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Ground Zero Cafe
I read somewhere that they have renamed this since 9/11 and it is now the "central courtyard cafe" or something. can anyone confirm? --199.86.17.78 (talk) 20:45, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * When I was researching the Ground Zero Cafe image last year (the image has since been re-uploaded into commons), the caption said "... will be torn down in the coming months." I am not a regular visitor to the Pentagon, so cannot confirm (or deny :-)) that the cafe was demolished, replaced, refurbished, or renamed.  Astronaut (talk) 15:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Justification?
This recent edit introduced a series of statements about legal justification/authorization for the use of the term Ground Zero. I find this very confusing and is quite probably unnecessary, particularly as no references are supplied to support the assertion that legal justification/authorization is necessary or even important to understanding of the topic. Astronaut (talk) 23:14, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

First use when referring to World Trade Center
This reference to an interview on Fox News, claims it was first shown at approx 11:55 am on September 11, 2001. However, the only thing I have to go on is the text on that YouTube page. The video on this archive seems to be from a different Fox affiliate so I cannot confirm the time there. While I'm happy to believe the stated time for the moment, I would rather we had a more reliable source for the time than the upload comments of a YouTube user. Can anyone identify the Fox affiliate for me? Astronaut (talk) 15:24, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
