HELP US MAKING THE PROJECT OF ANCIENT GREEK WIKIPEDIA
We are the promoters of the Wikipedia in Ancient Greek. we need your help, specially for write NEW ARTICLES and the TRANSLATION OF THE MEDIAWIKI INTERFACE FOR ANCIENT GREEK, for demonstrating, to the language subcommittee, the value of our project.

Thanks a lot for your help. Ἡ Οὐικιπαιδεία needs you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.40.197.5 (talk) 19:55, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguation of "Valence"
Hi! I was disambiguating the links to "Valence" and I guess you finished off the task for me! I suspected most of the links were to "Valence, Drôme" but wasn't sure. How did you know? I was able to disambiguate a few that had postal codes or department numbers 26000 or 26. How does "popups" work? Did you notice I'd put messages on a number of talk pages asking for someone to disambiguate? (e.g. Talk:Cadenet). Should "Valence" now be removed from the list on Disambiguation pages with links? I'm new to disambiguation and finding it fun. Sorry if I'm asking too many questions. Thanks for collaborating! --Coppertwig 02:38, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Now I'm confused. Valence is actually on the "done" list; but I don't see anything having been moved recently in the page history. Maybe I had taken it from the "done" list by mistake in the first place? It did still have a lot of links to disambiguate. Anyway, now that it's on the "done" list, don't feel you have to answer all my questions if you don't feel like it. That was the main thing -- knowing whether to move it to "done". --Coppertwig 02:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply on my talk page! Following your suggestions I've installed popups and now I can disambiguate with a single click (more-or-less) -- whee! I feel almost like a divinity -- or even an admin! :-)

Most of the Valence links were to Valence (chemistry), I found. I may be able to disambiguate Impedance but first I might ask some questions on one of the talk pages; either a page is wrong or I'm confused about one of the definitions, so I'd better clear that up first.

I've started a lot of projects on Wikipedia; maybe I start new things faster than I finish them. One of the great things about Wikipedia is that you can do little steps or leave things half-finished and other people will eventually finish it anyway, so the effort isn't wasted. Or maybe I will finish most of them after all. --Coppertwig 01:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I made my own copy of the popups javascript and edited it so it leaves edit summaries which also say "Disambig repair: You can help!".

Re edit history of moving Valence to done: I suspected it might be something like a subpage. I don't understand how subpages work, but maybe that isn't important right now.

I can change the colours my browser uses so that visited links are bright red, and this is one way to find the link to disambiguate. (Another way is search with control-F; I'm using Mozilla firefox.)  However, to make the links red, I have to choose "always use my colours". That has big disadvantages: broken links are the same colour as good links, which causes problems when doing other projects;  and the popups come up with transparent background which is difficult to read. Mozilla only seems to give options to change a very few colours. Any suggestions would be appreciated. --Coppertwig 12:01, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Capitalization of trecento
Hi Flauto -- thanks for contributions to various 14th c. Italian articles. Just curious though about your justification for correcting all mentions of "trecento" to "Trecento." Before writing my dissertation ("Trecento fragments") I looked at a few dozen art and music publications in English to see what other authors chose. There was no clear consensus, but it looked to me like "trecento" beat "Trecento" about 2 to 1. Grove Music is inconsistent: the article "Ars Nova" uses "trecento," (David Fallows), as does the article "Jacopo da Bologna." But Fallows's "Ciconia, Johannes," uses capital Trecento. Grove Art is also inconsistent but mainly favors lowercase. --Myke Cuthbert 22:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the research and reply -- wow, it's even more complicated than I thought. I don't think reverts are in order, since there's clearly strong evidence that Trecento is also acceptable.  I think "festschrift" et al. look odd because no German nouns look correct (to me) in lowercase until they are fully absorbed into English (I wonder when "bratwurst" began to look correct without the capital?).  Anyhow, I was mainly looking for an excuse to contact someone else who cares about this century! --Myke Cuthbert 06:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Aristarchus of Thessalonica
I know it is a trivial thing, but do you think you could phrase this differently so it isn't copied straight from the source? Also, it would probably be best to rephrase it, so that you are careful to provide the context of Christian belief. I would do it myself, but I have a strong bias against Christianity.

 * Thanks, that is much better. J Milburn 01:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Volapük Wikipedia
Hi Flauto, I see that you were (one of?) the initiator(s?) of the Volapük Wikipedia. I've been working a lot on it, and I'd like at some point to write an article on its history. Would you mind telling me a little bit about how you started it -- e.g., when did you learn about Volapük, why start a Wikipedia, how long it took to do it, who helped you, what your intentions were, how it went on, what happened then (the original contributors lost interest, etc.) --14:17, 24 June 2007

DC Meetup notice
Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 22:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Translation from Volapük
I see that you are listed as a Volapük level 2 speaker, so could you translate (and possibly analyse) the following two words: löpikalarevidasekretel and klonalitakipafablüdacifalöpasekretan

Thanks a lot!--Vorkalloner 20:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

 * If you allow me to jump in -- when it's about Volapük, I can't resist...
 * löpik = high (from löp = height, highness, ultimately from English up, + -ik = adjective marker)
 * löpikal = löpik + -al "higher (officer, chief, boss)" (-al marks people at the top of a hierarchy);
 * revid = revision, revise
 * sekret = secret + -el "one who does" (in old Volapük, no longer in use) = secretary;
 * Therefore,
 * löpikal + -a (linking vowel) + revid + -a + sekretel = the highest one's (boss's, chief's, leader's) revision secretary.
 * Now the second word:
 * klon (original Volapük; in modern Volapük kron) = crown, royal;
 * litakip = lit "light" + -a (linking vowel) + kip "keep, conserve"; "light-keeper" (probably e.g. an abat-jour or lampshade);
 * fablüd (old Volapük; in modern Volapük fabrik) = factory;
 * cifalöpasekretan = cif + -a + löp + -a + sekretan:
 * cif = chief, main, highest
 * löp = high (physical or metaphorical); see analysis of first word;
 * sekretan = sekret "secret" + -an "one who does, is involved with... = secretary (an alternative to sekretel'');
 * so cifalöpasekretan = the main/chief high secretary;
 * and therefore the whole word would be:
 * klon + -a + litakip + -a + fablüd + -a + cifalöpasekretan = the main high secretary of the royal lampshade factory (a more structurally analogous expression in English: chief royal lampshade factory secretary)

--:::Smeira, thank you very much for your excellent answer to this question! I've just returned to Wikipedia after a long absence. I would suggest just one change to your analysis of the second word:

 * klonalitakip = candelabra or chandelier. Cf. M.W. Wood's Dictionary of Volapük, p. 55, in Google Books.
 * That would make the whole word: "chandelier factory chief secretary."
 * -- Flauto Dolce (talk) 15:16, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Admin in vo.wiki?
Dear Flauto Dolce, you are currently one of the admins at the Volapük Wikipedia, but you've been inactive for quite a while. Are you still interested in participating? There is currently a proposal for revoking your admin status there (see here). If you're still interested, please let us know. Smeira, 15:32, 6 dec 2007

 * OK -- you're correct in your interpretation (I had thought litakip would be a lampshade, but your reference to Wood's dictionary shows it is a chandelier; I am not as good in the original version of Volapük as in de Jong's!...).
 * Since you're now coming back to editing, maybe you don't know that there is a proposal at Meta about deleting stubs at vo.wp: Proposals for closing projects/Radical cleanup of Volapük Wikipedia. In case you'd agree that deleting stubs is not the way to go -- deleting information never adds quality -- and that the question of bot-created stubs is a matter of wiki-internal decision, not general policy, you might help us fight against it with your vote. But, of course, you must follow your own conscience! --Smeira (talk) 18:56, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

An exciting month of wiki events!
 Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best, James Hare

Your admin status
Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on vowiki, where you are a bureaucrat and administrator. Since vowiki does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.

We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Best regards, Rschen7754 20:49, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room. When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

User talk:Hemanshu/Archive 1

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them;

 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

snoyes 05:21, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. I didn't know earlier how to respond to messages. -Hemanshu 01:15, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

What was I observed vandalising/testing - if so it was entirely unintentional and unmalicious. I have respect for Wikipedia. It was probably a mistake - I am fairly new to Wikipedia. Ludraman, 20:10

Re Image:Mumbai.terra.300px.jpg: It'd be good if you could indicate where images come from when you upload them. Thanks, snoyes 22:34, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I have done the needful. -Hemanshu

Welcome to the 'pedia! I saw that you created and then blanked the Hemanshu Desai page. As a tip, if you make a site by mistake and wish it to be deleted, you can list it here Cleanup and explain why, or ask one of the Administrators to delete it. Personal subpages that you wish to be deleted may also be listed on Personal subpages to be deleted. I am guessing that Hemanshu Desai was a page about you and that you want it deleted since you now have the info on your user space. May I delete the page? Dori 06:26, Nov 21, 2003 (UTC)

 * Looks like it just got deleted by someone else :) Dori 06:27, Nov 21, 2003 (UTC)

Dont be afraid to upload large images. small images are useless. 169.229.204.186
 * I wouldn't say they are useless. The Image use policy just suggests nothing less than 100 pixels. Angela 16:27, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I can't see why HMPS is significant enough to be included so it is likely to be deleted, as many school articles are. Can you think of a way of merging the two schools you have written about with a different article instead? Perhaps the Andheri page could be expanded? Angela 16:27, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hello, The article you created at The Peshwas appears to be copied from. Unless you are the author of the original information and you are able to release it under the GFDL then the page will need to be deleted. Please see Copyrights for further information. Even if this is a copyright violation, we would still welcome any original contributions from you. See the instructions on how to edit a page for more info. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan 03:53, Nov 23, 2003 (UTC)

Hello, The article you created at The British in Maharashtra appears to be copied from. Unless you are the author of the original information and you are able to release it under the GFDL then the page will need to be deleted. Please see Copyrights for further information. Even if this is a copyright violation, we would still welcome any original contributions from you. See the instructions on how to edit a page for more info. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan 00:28, Nov 25, 2003 (UTC)

I also reverted your additions to Maharashtra since they also appear to be copied without permission. Daniel Quinlan 00:31, Nov 25, 2003 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your new additions to Maharashtra. One request, could you please combine related changes into a single edit? Use the Show preview button if you need to see what a small change does before continuing with other edits. So many small edits make it harder for people to find where a specific change was made. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan 16:53, Dec 9, 2003 (UTC)

Place Stub notes below your short pages (those biographies of Indian congressmen, etc), unless you intend to expand them into real multi-paragraph articles within the next few hours. Thanks. --Menchi (Talk)ü| â 12:47, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

List of people from Maharashtra - You have added many people who IMO, dont belong there. I can understand A.R.Rehman. But Ilayaraja??? MS Subbulakshmi - my God ??? While it may be true that these people may have performed in Maharashtra or Mumbai, I dont feel it is correct to label them as from Maharashtra. Anyway, IMO, the article isnt very useful. It links to a large repository of unwritten articles. Wikipedia does not recommend such articles. Waiting for your response chance 12:57, Dec 22, 2003 (UTC)

List-of-people-by-name Structure
I think i like the direction you are taking Mas-Maz, but there are two major problems:
 * The structure is broken while you are in the midst of editing it, so you need to
 * edit an unpopulated copy to build the new structure
 * move the names into in one sitting
 * replace the active root of the subtree you're working on with your new root
 * ASAP analyze the history of the old root of your subtree to see which names got added between the start of your populating of the new version and making it active
 * move the new names found in the old subtree into the new, now active, subtree
 * you can't, can't, can't walk away to do some other interesting thing and leave it broken as you have done today.

Please stay away from it until we have agreed how to proceed with it. I welcome your participation and ideas for it, but List of people by name is an active structure subject to many edits per day, and the first order of business is for me to revert what you've done. (Your effort will, however, be worth salvaging, and i will do that if you do not; don't imagine you've wasted your effort on it.)

And please be in touch to let me know you understand, or are beginning to. I think your ideas (which i may not yet be able to make out completely) are almost certainly good ones, and even tho i wish you'd had more insight into the consequences and done it differently, i'm glad you messed it up since the choice probably was between messing it up and doing nothing with it! This is a small setback, that will be worth it in the long run.

Oh, yeah: Welcome to Wikipedia! --Jerzy 16:46, 2004 Jan 21 (UTC)

List of people by name
Hi, I've been asked to help with the List of people by name article. What exactly are you trying to do with it? I'm not sure I understand the issue really, but perhaps you could discuss it with Jerzy so you don't both end up moving the page backwards and forwards. Let me know if there's anything I can help with. Angela. 01:52, Jan 22, 2004 (UTC)

Hemanshu, i want to apologize for the message i left for you, which you may understandably have found at best peremptory in tone. I probably neglected careful and polite phrasing in my anxiety to deal with the side effects of your edits aimed at replacing List of people by name: Mas-Maz. I also want to apologize in general for the effect on you of what was for me a harried day, and in particular for the confused picture i conveyed to Angela, which is reflected in her msg above. If you're curious abt the complication i faced (which has very little to do with you and is in no sense your fault), i may pull the msgs together into a coordinated account. Or if you can't wait, they're in the following sections:
 * Village pump
 * User talk:Angela
 * User talk:Jerzy

What Angela is concerned about is IMO not going to be a problem, bcz
 * you and i have an important point of agreement she may not fully appreciate, namely that your concept for replacing List of people by name: Mas-Maz with List of people by name: Mas and three other pages should have its wrinkles worked out and be put "into production", and
 * our point of disagreement is (IMO) a very small and technical (rather than, say, esthetic or psychological one) and i think i will be able to point out fairly quickly the technical subtleties that you'll agree need to be factored in to get your approach up and working.

I hope neither Angela nor i (nor the subtleties i spoke of) will dampen your interest in the valuable project you initiated. I have, in order to get the list working smoothly again: I will follow up as follows: (If you are concerned about the implications of that for the histories, that's a good concern, and let's discuss it.)
 * "counter-moved" (i don't know if that is the accepted term) your move of List of people by name: Mas-Maz to List of people by name: Mas (with the result that List of people by name: Mas is now a redirect)
 * then reverted (that is the accepted term) List of people by name: Mas-Maz to my last version, which you started from.
 * find any new names or removals of names that were done on the pages you started, and reflect them in List of people by name: Mas-Maz;
 * turn the redirect List of people by name: Mas into a copy of your last version of the same name;
 * enumerate, for the edification of both of us the full range of the subtleties i have spoken of.

While i would be willing to do the work of dealing with those nitty-gritty subtleties in detail, i hope your interest will continue, and that you'll take the pedagogical opportunity to get a gut feeling for them, by seeing the transformations that we need emerge as you deal with the subtleties. My reason for that preference is that i think your insight into the problem will be enhanced by that experience, and that your creativity will be that much more valuable, whether on aspects only indirectly related to List of people by name, as an explicit collaborator with those already working on it, or for all i know as a new broom to come in and make a clean sweep of the List of people by name project, leading a thorough-going re-design of it.

I hope you'll be thinking about whether you want to carry forward the work of making your concept work smoothly enuf on the Mas thru Maz range to replace List of people by name: Mas-Maz. It will then act as a pilot project for an approach that you and i and others may end up applying to the whole of the "fourth level" (and higher ones) of the tree, and (haven't thought this through) perhaps to the third level as well. I'll wait a while, and ask again even if i become anxious to start to complete the pilot implementation without you. --Jerzy 07:35, 2004 Jan 22 (UTC)

I'm not sure the following list is perfect, but i think you'll find it pretty thorough. I didn't go into why these things are needed, but i assume most of them will be clear now that they are pointed out.

More importantly, i am guessing this was a bigger task than you anticipated, and the size and interlocking complexity is why i think a special strategy is needed: i.e., building most of it in pages that are not linked, directly or otherwise, from List of people by name, then swapping in those pages, or blocks of marked-up text, in a much shorter time than what it took to get them ready. If you're interested in continuing, let's discuss.

For now, all those you worked on except List of people by name: Mas can be worked on w/o worry, and i will set up a page to work on that one as well, under a different name. --Jerzy 07:30, 2004 Jan 23 (UTC)

Existing Page you Moved & Worked on

 * Mas
 * 1st - 3rd levels - no change needed from Mas-Maz
 * 4th level - done
 * 5th level - needs link to Mast-Masu link changed to Mast-Masz
 * Headings - needs == Mast-Masu changed == to == Mast-Masz ==
 * Names - Mau-Maz not removed

Pages you Created

 * Mat
 * 1st - 3rd levels - no change needed from Mas-Maz

 * 5th level - done
 * Headings - the two range-named headings need " - " changed to "-"
 * Names - done
 * Mau-Max
 * 1st - 3rd levels - no change needed from Mas-Maz
 * 4th level - done
 * 5th level - not applicable
 * Headings - done
 * Names - done
 * May-Maz
 * 1st - 3rd levels - no change needed from Mas-Maz
 * 4th level - probably "May" should go to "== May ==" instead of "May-Mayn"
 * 5th level - probably should exist, with "May-Mayn" and "Mayo-Mayz
 * Headings - probably should have "== May =="
 * Names - done

Necessary Pages you Never Worked on

 * Maa-Mab thru Mar, and Ma
 * 1st - 3rd levels - no change needed
 * 4th level - Mas-Maz link needs replacement by Mas thru May-Maz links
 * 5th level - not applicable
 * Headings - no change needed
 * Names - no change needed

My Opinion on What Next
First (and i think this illustrates the need for careful planning of a project like this), i've added one more page that i forgot about, in bold, to the list of pages not yet worked on.

Talk:List of people by name: Mas/Work is where i have created a copy of the last version of List of people by name: Mas you worked up. My intention is that you and/or i will The reason for that exact sequence is that the history of additions and changes to the production version of the list (the history most of interest to most users) will appear in an orderly, continuous, and straightforward fashion on the production version. Only the short and more esoteric development done on Talk:List of people by name: Mas/Work will be disconnected from the mainstream of the list's history, attached to another page.
 * finish it there on Talk:List of people by name: Mas/Work,
 * then cut and paste it in as a replacement for the entire text of List of people by name: Mas-Maz, and
 * finally rename List of people by name: Mas-Maz to List of people by name: Mas.

IMO, the work on the pages listed under == Necessary Pages you Never Worked on == would not justify working on a non-production copy, bcz for each of them the work amounts to pasting the same block of links over the Mas-Maz link. That operation may even be as quick as doing a page-move.

Perhaps i am restating the obvious, but you'll note that the work on Maa-Mab thru Mar, and Ma, is the last stage of putting your scheme into pilot production: doing it earlier would just be exposing other pages that are still under construction to general use. -- Jerzy 06:25, 2004 Jan 24 (UTC)

I've been using ideas i got from your work on List of people by name: Mas-Maz on several other pages (e.g., recently, List of people by name: Ba, List of people by name: Mo, and List of people by name: Br). Especially now that i am pretty well settled on some new techniques, i'm thinking of going ahead in the next few days with finishing what you began with Mas-Maz. If i don't hear from you, i'll go ahead without further consultation. --Jerzy 21:34, 2004 Feb 10 (UTC)

Talk Archives
Hemanshu, just noticed you've been doing a lot of moving things around in archives at Internet child pornography, often one line at a time. Why only one line at a time? Strikes me as odd, is all. Is this some project you've undertaken? Just curious. Thanks. :) Jwrosenzweig 06:07, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Sorry to bother you.  I happened to look at a diff that consisted only of a vote I posted months ago...and then I couldn't remember voting, and then I did, and then I realized you seemed to be posting a lot of them like that and wondered why.  It makes perfect sense now.  Happy archiving. :) Jwrosenzweig 06:19, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi Hemanshu. I started to answer you here, but it got rather long so instead of cluttering your talk page I'll just reply on Wikipedia talk:Welcoming committee. Isomorphic 20:04, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Charles J. Watters

Charles Joseph Watters (January 17, 1927 – November 19, 1967) was a chaplain (major) in the United States Army and Roman Catholic priest. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery exhibited while rescuing wounded men in the Vietnam War's Battle of Dak To.

Born in 1927, Watters joined the Air National Guard in 1962. He left the Guard in 1964 to join the Chaplain Corps, and embarked on his first tour in Vietnam, taking part in Operation Junction City and earning medals during the tour. On an extension of his tour, during the Battle of Dak To, Watters rescued many wounded men from enemy fire, but was killed by a friendly bomb strike from an American bomber.

Biography
Charles Joseph Watters was born on January 17, 1927, in Jersey City, New Jersey. Watters attended Seton Hall Preparatory School and went on to graduate from Seton Hall University. He was ordained as a priest in 1953 for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark and served in parishes in Jersey City, Rutherford, Paramus, and Cranford, New Jersey.

Watters was an active private pilot, flying small single-engine planes as far as Argentina. In 1962, Watters became a chaplain with the New Jersey Air National Guard. In 1964, he entered active duty as a chaplain with the U.S. Army. He began his first 12-month tour of duty in Vietnam on July 5, 1966. During his first tour, he was awarded the Air Medal and a Bronze Star for Valor. At the end of his first twelve months, in July 1967, he voluntarily extended his tour for an additional six months.

Chaplain Watters also made the parachute drop in Operation Junction City on 22 February 1967. On November 19, 1967, Chaplain Watters' unit was involved in close combat with the enemy in the vicinity of Đắk Tô. For his "conspicuous gallantry ... unyielding perseverance and selfless devotion to his comrades" on that day, Chaplain Watters was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor by Vice President Spiro Agnew in a ceremony that also honored John Andrew Barnes III and Robert F. Stryker. Watters is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Medal of Honor citation
The President of the United States in the name of The Congress takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to MAJOR CHARLES JOSEPH WATTERS United States Army For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Chaplain Watters distinguished himself during an assault in the vicinity of Đắk Tô. Chaplain Watters was moving with one of the companies when it engaged a heavily armed enemy battalion. As the battle raged and the casualties mounted, Chaplain Watters, with complete disregard for his safety, rushed forward to the line of contact. Unarmed and completely exposed, he moved among, as well as in front of the advancing troops, giving aid to the wounded, assisting in their evacuation, giving words of encouragement, and administering the last rites to the dying. When a wounded paratrooper was standing in shock in front of the assaulting forces, Chaplain Watters ran forward, picked the man up on his shoulders and carried him to safety. As the troopers battled to the first enemy entrenchment, Chaplain Watters ran through the intense enemy fire to the front of the entrenchment to aid a fallen comrade. A short time later, the paratroopers pulled back in preparation for a second assault. Chaplain Watters exposed himself to both friendly and enemy fire between the two forces in order to recover two wounded soldiers. Later, when the battalion was forced to pull back into a perimeter, Chaplain Watters noticed that several wounded soldiers were lying outside the newly formed perimeter. Without hesitation and ignoring attempts to restrain him, Chaplain Watters left the perimeter three times in the face of small arms, automatic weapons, and mortar fire to carry and to assist the injured troopers to safety. Satisfied that all of the wounded were inside the perimeter, he began aiding the medics ... applying field bandages to open wounds, obtaining and serving food and water, giving spiritual and mental strength and comfort. During his ministering, he moved out to the perimeter from position to position redistributing food and water, and tending to the needs of his men. Chaplain Watters was giving aid to the wounded when he himself was mortally wounded. Chaplain Watters' unyielding perseverance and selfless devotion to his comrades was in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Edit to Arctic Region Supercomputing Center
Hi, I just reverted an edit of yours to ARSC- a link to an outside company. As a general rule the addition of unrelated links to an article constitutes spam, and while I don't think that was your intention, it may come across that way. In cases where unrelated articles have similar names and may be confused, you can use the the templates found here: On-Article Disambig Template Messages, however you will want to link to the wikipedia article for a given subject, not an outside link. If you have any questions regarding this you can leave a message on my talk page or consult the Manual of Style. All the best and happy editing, -- L' Aquatique    talk  to  me   08:17, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Xah's note
The above on the article ARSC, is about Arctic Region Supercomputing Center. I added a sentenc that ARSC is also a software named A Really Simple Chat software, with this associated url: http://old.manuel.kiessling.net/projects/software/arsc/

I'm not sure how well-known this software is, but i thought it's a fact that might be worth of noting. Note: i have no affiliation with the software whatsoever. I realized it only because when i was doing research on chat software. Xah Lee (talk) 13:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That's fine, in the future a link like that would go on the article page of the A Really Simple Chat Software. Then you could put a link at the top of Arctic Region Supercomputing Center that says "Not to be confused with... blah blah" and link that to the article for A Really Simple... Thanks for your reply- L'Aquatique [talk ]  20:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Xah's Note
Note that text i used for the article Partlet, which i started, is from 1913 Webster dict, whose copyright has expired. This is a stupid bot incidence. Xah Lee (talk) 13:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Partlet
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Partlet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 05:44, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Xah's note
I forgot about this notice above until today, and the article is apparently already been deleted.

Note that, Partlet is: A covering for the neck, and sometimes for the shoulders and breast; originally worn by both sexes, but later by women alone.

This is significant item ideal for encyclopedic entry. Xah Lee (talk) 13:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Xah's Note
The above refers to these articles:

1. Human_sacrifice, 2. International_Tibet_Independence_Movement, 3. Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama.

The item i added are, a link to the website:

* Li Ao on Tibet Criticism by Chinese historian Li Ao.

Which is a written summary and embedded youtube videos and links, to a series of TV program by the Chinese Historian Li Ao, on the issues of Tibet.

Li Ao is a noted historian of international fame. In his TV show, he showed photos and documents of various sources that he has collected, to show us that Tibet flay human skin, under 14th Dalai Lama's command.

Li Ao is famously known for his skill in exposing the unknown or myths.

In the above Wikipedia articles, this information is important, in particular because there is no criticism in the external links. I've added this link about a month before but they got removed. One of the guy who removed it, his comment for the removal was simply “I don't think so”. Other removal are anonymous i think.

Fact should be known.

 * Let me be a little more direct. If you continue edit-warring to re-add links to your personal website, your account will be blocked from editing. If this material is indeed notable and relevant, then find an independent, reliable source for it that does not involve your personal website. MastCell Talk 16:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Xah, re, I am sorry you should feel that way. You are aware of WP:COI. I recommend you also familiarize yourself with WP:RS and WP:FRINGE. After your block expires, you will be welcome to contribute to Wikipedia constructively. Although, seeing your attitude, I do not see why you might want to contribute to a project run by "fuckheads". You have your own website, why not talk to the world there. Fwiiw, the political status of Tibet is indeed disputed, the relevant article being Tibetan sovereignty debate. The "theory" of the Dalai Lama condoning human sacrifice, on the other hand, is not "disputed", but an obvious case of the lowest sort of blood libel. It may be notable to Li Ao's biography that he should stoop to such a level, but hardly qualifies as evidence of "contemporary human sacrifice". I assure you that you did not "rile me up" at all; I was rather intrigued by this textbook piece of propaganda, and learned something about the state of Chinese nationalism in Taiwan. Thanks, --dab (𒁳) 10:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Cocobolo

Cocobolo is a tropical hardwood of Central American trees belonging to the genus Dalbergia. Only the heartwood of cocobolo is used; it is usually orange or reddish-brown, often with darker irregular traces weaving through the wood. The heartwood changes color after being cut and can be polished to a lustrous, glassy finish. Being quite dense and sometimes having a specific gravity of over 1.0, it will sink in water. The sapwood (not often used) is a creamy yellow with a sharp boundary between it and the heartwood.

Provenance
Cocobolo is yielded by two to four closely related species of the genus Dalbergia, of which the best known is Dalbergia retusa, a fair-sized tree, reported to reach 75 – in height and 3 ft in diameter; it probably is the species contributing most of the wood in the trade. Because of the high value of the timber, the trees yielding it have been heavily exploited, so they have become rare outside of national parks, reserves, and plantations. Only small amounts of this prized wood reach the world market, and it is expensive.

Oil content
Cocobolo heartwood contains oil, which lends a strong, unmistakable floral odor even to well seasoned wood and occasionally stains the hands with prolonged exposure. The high natural oil content of the wood makes it difficult to achieve a strong glue joint, as in applying veneers or guitar fingerboards, and can inhibit the curing of some varnishes, particularly oil-based finishes. Acetone may be used to remove surface oils before gluing. The oil can induce allergic reactions if inhaled or exposed to unprotected skin and eyes. This is due to the presence of allergenic chemicals such as S-4'-hydroxy-4-methoxy dalbergione, R-4-methoxy dalbergione, and other quinones and phenols. A dust collection system, coupled with the use of personal protective equipment such as respirators, is highly recommended when machining this wood.

Uses
Because it stands up well to repeated handling and exposure to water, a common use is for gun grips and knife handles, and duck calls. It is very hard, fine textured, and dense, yet easily machined. The abundance of natural oils, however, causes the wood to clog abrasives and fine-toothed saw blades, like other hard, dense tropical woods. Besides its use on guns and knives, cocobolo is favored for fine inlay work on custom, high-end cue sticks, police batons, pens, brush backs, bowls, pipes, jewelry boxes, desktops and other expensive specialty items.

Musical instruments
Due to its density and hardness, even a large block of the cut wood will produce a clear musical tone if struck. Renowned for its "warm, rich palette", cocobolo is used to make musical instruments, such as oboes, flutes and clarinets--especially boutique, custom barrel joints for B-flat clarinets. Other woodwind instruments, such as bagpipes (as well as the chanters of bagpipes' more basic relatives, duck and goose calls), have been successfully made using cocobolo instead of the orchestral and Celtic instruments' customary mpingo, or African blackwood, known in the trade as grenadilla. Additionally, cocobolo has been used to make fingerboards, as well as entire necks and bodies of guitars and bass guitars, having been employed as a substitute for Brazilian Rosewood since that fellow Dalbergia member was CITES listed in 1992. Additionally, cocobolo is used to an extent in building drums.

Conservation
Logs, sawn wood, and veneer sheets from the Guatemalan populations of Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa), have been listed under CITES Appendix III since 2008. In 2011, Panama extended that listing to include all products except seeds and pollen and finished products packaged and ready for retail trade.

As of January 2, 2017, Cocobolo is protected as a CITES Appendix II species, along with Bubinga (Guibourtia demeusei, G. pellegriniana, and G. tessmanni), other true rosewoods (Dalbergia spp.) and related species found in the Dalbergia genus, such as Tulipwood, Kingwood, and African Blackwood.

In popular culture

 * Paraguayan cocobolo was closely associated with David Woodard's iteration of the Dreamachine.
 * Jim Jarmusch's 2013 film Only Lovers Left Alive features a bullet fashioned from cocobolo and brass.
 * One plotline in the television show Better Call Saul revolves around the acquisition of a cocobolo desk.
 * A cocobolo log plays a prominent role in the "Dead Moon Walking Adventure" episode of The Great North.

Kannel (telecommunications)

In computing, Kannel is an open-source WAP gateway. It provides the essential part of the WAP infrastructure as open source software to everyone so that the market potential for WAP services, both from wireless operators and specialized service providers, will be realized as efficiently as possible.

Kannel also works as an SMS gateway for GSM networks. Almost all GSM phones can send and receive SMS messages, so this is a way to serve many more clients than just those using WAP.

History
The Kannel project was founded by Wapit Ltd. in June, 1999. Wapit no longer exists and the project is coordinated by the members of the Kannel Group which include the wireless business industry companies 3G LAB Ltd. (UK), Wapme Systems AG (DE), ANAM (IE) andlobal Networks Inc. (CH) among other individual developers and contributors. The Kannel Group is in the process of forming a legal body for the Kannel Project, the Kannel Software Foundation (KSF). ANAM has retired from supporting Kannel, and in 2006 also Wapme Systems has stopped its business operations.

Core developers
The project development coordination is led by The Kannel Group, with Stipe Tolj, Andreas Fink and Alexander Malysh as chairmen. Various other individual developers around the world contribute code and file problem-reports.

Boiling Alive
The article says tata swindlers and coin forgers were executed by boiling at Smithfield. I think this method of execution in England was only in force for poisoners, and even then only between 1531-1546.

Hi, I'm very new to this editing and still learning it. I removed the bizarre text of alledged muslim persecution of Palestinian Christians because it is unfounded and the only source to that being linked is from an israeli think tank with credibility issues. Wikipedia should be free of political iformation and merely informative. Claiming "other commentators" claiming persecution are infact from the above mentioned think tank. Most christians from bethlehem leave due to the hardship of the occupation, not any alledged travel restriction or persecution. I would know, I'm one of them now living in Sweden. Reading this dumbfounds us and is utterly inaccurate and politically driven. Thus it should not be there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sphryne (talk • contribs) 22:09, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Use of Original Texts
Hello. You and I have both recently been editing the page Census of Quirinius. I noticed you removed an edit because it was sourced to original texts and commentaries. I can understand removal of the latter, as it references works by theologians, not biblical historians. However, I am curious as to removal of material sourced to an original text (the Hebrew Bible). While it is not a peer-reviewed scholarly article or university-level textbook, it nonetheless contains cultural and political background concerning the Jewish people participating in this census. I am interested in your reasoning for removing this edit (I mean this post with no hard feelings or sarcastic undertones; it is often difficult to discern the attitude of a post, especially when it could be interpreted as confrontational).

Thanks! I suppose I was making my own conclusions from the text. Jonathan Calebs (talk) 20:06, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Historical Jesus
You can NOT make the claim "writers who opposed Christianity did not question the existence of Jesus" - this is like saying "none of Alexander's soldiers ever argued with him" - we have no way of knowing this. The best we can say is something like "we have no indication that writers who opposed Christianity questioned the existence of Jesus." Agreed? Geĸrίtzl (talk) 22:31, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Warwick (company)

Warwick is a German bass guitar manufacturing company. Warwick basses were originally a premium brand offering a small range of models built from high quality and exotic tonewoods. The company also produces valve and FET amplifiers, speaker cabinets, bass guitar strings, and is the owner of the Framus trademark. Their headquarters and custom shops are located in Markneukirchen, Shanghai, and Nashville.

History
Warwick was founded in 1982 in Erlangen, in the German state of Bavaria, by Hans-Peter Wilfer. In 1995 the company moved to Markneukirchen in the Saxon Vogtland to capitalize on the centuries-old tradition of instrument building in the region and to reopen the Framus trademark. In addition, the company has developed an extensive distribution network throughout Germany and Austria to represent and distribute products from musical instruments and equipment companies from Europe and the United States.

Environmental protection
Warwick produces its instruments and amplifiers using carbon-neutral principles. Any other manufacturing process is carbon-neutral as well. The company is purchasing its wood from sustainable sources (certified by the Forest Stewardship Council) and produces all the electricity it needs through its own natural-gas-powered plant, solar roof-mounted facilities, a boiler fueled by wood waste from its guitars and wind power.

Warwick is operating according to the guidelines of European Unions Eco-Management and Audit Scheme, which is a voluntary environmental management instrument designed to continuously improve companies' environmental performance.

Training courses
Once a year the company hosts a "Warwick Bass Camp", where participants from all over the world are given the opportunity to join training courses and learn from notable bass players such as Victor Wooten, John Patitucci, Lee Sklar, Stuart Hamm, Alphonso Johnson, Dave Ellefson, Hellmut Hattler, Ryan Martinie or Gary Willis.

Custom Shop ("MasterBuilt") models
Warwick produces a variety of different models with different woods and electronics. The original series, which are manufactured in Germany, include the Corvette, Streamer, Thumb SC, and Dolphin. The only model in the original catalog made outside of Germany is the Alien acoustic bass, built in Korea.

Limited Editions
In 2001, Warwick began making Limited Edition instruments; every year, distinctive features are added to one production model, and built in limited quantities, starting with the Thumb BO Bass. Upgrades include exotic woods, different pickups and electronic configurations, and custom finishes.

As well, there are around forty Special Edition bass models in production. These basses are usually upgraded versions of standard models that have features otherwise unavailable.

Examples include the Thumb BO (ovangkol neck and body back and bubinga pommele top, with 2mm of swamp ash laminated between, and ebony fretboard; 150 built for 2001) and the FNA Jazzman in walnut and swirly bubinga (200 built for 2002).

Signature Series
In 2019, Warwick produced 13 models of signature bass. Present and past models have included those for Jack Bruce (Cream),  Bootsy Collins, T.M. Stevens, Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Jonas Hellborg, Adam Clayton (U2), John Entwistle (The Who) and Jäcki Reznicek (Silly).

P-Nut of 311 has three signature basses, all Streamer models.

The Stuart Zender (Jamiroquai) signature bass is designed by Zender, and features a body shape new to Warwick basses.

Warwick also built custom fretless seven-string Thumb NT basses for Jeroen Paul Thesseling.

Pro Series ("TeamBuilt")
The Pro Series instruments are crafted in the same German factory as the Custom Shop models. Fewer unusual woods are employed, and options for finish and hardware are more limited, keeping pricing lower. Models include the Corvette, Streamer, Thumb, and Star bass.

Rockbass ("Standard")
Consumer-level Rockbass models are made in China, using less exotic woods and simpler finishes. These basses are the Streamer, Corvette, Fortress, Vampyre, Star Bass, Triumph, and Alien acoustic; the Rockbass Alien is the only Rockbass model that looks different from the original.

Rockbass Artist Line
The Rockbass Artist Line produces affordable signature models, also made in China. These include the Robert Trujillo four- and five-string; the Bootsy Collins SpaceBass; the Steve Bailey four-, five-, and six-string; the P-Nut four- and five-string; and the Jack Bruce and Adam Clayton models.
