User talk:Tokerboy~enwiki/archive

Hello there Tokerboy, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help visit How does one edit a page and experiment at Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Naming conventions. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, great work on the Roman mythology articles. Cheers! --maveric149

Hi there! I see from my watchlist that you've made a number of link fixes and typo edits. I hope you stick around; attention to detail is a very good trait in a wikipedian! -- Tarquin

Hiya Tokerboy, top piece of work on Tuatha de Danaan. user:sjc

You're making a lot of pages with links to redirects to themselves. A page should not link to itself; these should be listed as variants in the article. See Tir na n-Og (it's fine to have variant redirects, but only one should be listed in bold). -phma

You're doing some amazing work on mythological figures. :-) --KQ
 * The only problem is, I want to know more; is there an Aztec equivalent of Edith Hamilton's book on Greek myth? Vicki Rosenzweig
 * There may be something similar, but non-"classical" mythology (Greek, Roman and sometimes Norse) tend to be mostly ignored, though Joseph Campbell did make some references to Aztecs and whatnot. user:Tokerboy
 * Yes, that's an area typically overlooked. I have a few books I bought in Mexico; I'll look for them and see if there's anything I can add.  Probably not; your articles seem quite good already.  --KQ
 * I've only just started on Aztec mythology. It's chock full of holes. User:Tokerboy

Tokerboy, I just wanted to say that your continuing addition of mythology entries from so many different countries is really impressive. Good job. -- Zoe

Tokerboy, Aren't the New Hebrides now the Republic of Vanatu? If so, the nationality would be Ni-Vanuatu (either singular or plural noun) or Ni-Vanuatu (adjective.). Though perhaps you'd want to say Vanatu, formerly New Hebrides for clarity's sake! Someone else 06:46 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC)

Do we need lots of one-sentence articles on Aztec mythological characters? I think it would be better to gather several related ones onto one page and make the rest redirects. -phma

Can you slow down a little? I just looked at Hopi mythology and cleared out a large stack of obvious typos, and removed the instruction to put the text for the new page here. I know you have a lot of info handy, but if it's worth creating a page, it's worth proofreading it.Vicki Rosenzweig

Hey, I just wanted to chirp in that I'm very impressed with the mythology you've been adding. Also, I might agree with Pierre that the articles could all be one page. DanKeshet

Re: mythology. As somebody who will only be a reader on these pages, when I look at a page like Egyptian mythology, I want to get a good overview of what it's all about, not just a list of names with links. I'm not going to bother clicking 50 links, especially if I know most of them don't have much content. I think it will become obvious when there's too much information on one subject and it ought to be split off. Also, there's no reason we can't duplicate some information on the bigger figures who have their own pages. I'm thinking about the way we're doing WikiProject Countries with intentional duplication between France and History of France. Having said all that, I think you're doing a great job and I wouldn't object to either way. :) DanKeshet

You just created two articles with invalid box characters in their *titles*. Why didn't you fix the characters in the links instead? -phma

The characters from 128 to 159 are invalid, but appear on Windows boxes as apostrophes, dashes, and other such characters. On Unix boxes they appear as boxes, slugs, or nothing. They look like this: ???????????????????????????????? . There is a valid box character; it's used in nested bullet lists. -phma

Have you considered putting the descriptions of all those Funkadelic songs on the page describing each album? They don't all have unique titles, and besides, many of them look puny on their own--I think they'd be more impressive all on the same page with the CD info. Just a thought. --KQ 19:39 Oct 19, 2002 (UTC)
 * Ok, that makes sense. I just didn't know what your plans were.  I'm not particularly fond of stubs either, though I know sometimes there are good reasons to create them.  It sounds like you've got it under control though.  :-)  --KQ
 * You might consider starting another wikiproject for your template. See e.g. http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?search=wikiproject for the list of ones that are started already, though I note that movies still aren't (Zoe, Eclecticology, I, & others are just playing that by ear, I guess, though Zoe's been doing the bulk of the work).  Anyway, if you started a page specifically for how to write about albums and songs, I'm sure you'd get a good dialogue going about how to do it.  --KQ

Thanks again for your efforts at Politics of Canada. It proves that with a co-operative approach, a lot can be accomplished. For now I'm inclined to leave the National Unity part of that article alone for at least a couple of weeks. As You have rightly said, there are still a few holes in that part. Let's just hope that DW doesn't step back in with his POV's. Some refactoring of the talk page may be a good thing but there's no hurry for that. Eclecticology 17:57 Oct 21, 2002 (UTC)

I finally bothered to look at my talk page and saw your query. Have left a brief answer on the Politics of Canada talk page....DW

I started last night editing the Politics of Canada page. I plan to do much more and try to give it a better flow. However, the opinion of a non-Canadian who says he knows little of Canada is very important. As such, please leave me your thoughts on my user page User:DW and I will be glad to address anything I can. My goal is to give an NPOV understanding for the world wide viewers to this great site. Note that I use the words "Separatist Government" to clearly define that the matter at question was done by an elected government whose sole purpose is to separate from Canada vis-a-vis the beliefs or actions of a majority of the citizens of Quebec. Example: "Quebec did not sign the or Quebec believed etc., etc." The person who wrote this page had a mission and that was to gain a positive view of Quebec separatist's actions by expressing their goals as those of all Quebeckers. Thanks....DW

Hi, Tokerboy. I made your requested change to the U.S. presidential election, 2000 article. I used Internet Explorer 6.0 (IE6) to make the edit.

My browser of choice is Opera, but it cuts off textbox edits at 32 KB. So whenever I edit a really long page I have to use IE6.

Your "special helper", Ed Poor

Why did I remove the changes? They weren't really germane to the article.

A better expression might be:

All Christians have a common set of core beliefs, including sacred inspiration Bible. These core beliefs are not shared by non-Christians.

All Muslims have a common set of core beliefs, including sacred inspiration for the Qur'an and Hadith. These core beliefs are not shared by non-Muslims.

I know I'm new to the project, but I've been a professional or semi-pro writer since 1981. -- GABaker

I have a cold, i'm a bit delirious, you'll have to pardon the stupid mistake. That was not the bot, that was me merging in information by hand (no more bot for that for a while) :) -- Ram-Man

-- I read Odin. the norse mythology is off. the valkyries have never been vampires, the einherjar have never been cannibals, and frigg is not the mother of thor, or of others on your list. -- User:Tridesch The root of 'odin' usually connotes 'frensied inspiration'.

I noticed you've been using a couple of album covers: are they generally okay to put on Wikipedia, copyright-wise? -- Sam

u like the shroomz? Lir 00:45 Nov 8, 2002 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on American Pie. I love that song! --Ed Poor

I love love. Arthur Lee is tops! Ortolan88 02:41 Nov 16, 2002 (UTC)

I did not molestrate that Nazi child, but I did hold some Republicanoid heads under water until they stopped bubbling. Is that molestration? Ortolan88

For Will Smith (who I also hate, for similar reasons) acting well, or at least better, check out "Six Degrees of Separation", which was out in 1994? or some such. It's been a long time since I saw it, though, so he might suck. The movie is also mediocre, and makes some inane point about life that I never quite figured out. On second thought, skip it, but just for the record - he doesn't always suck so bad. Graft

Hi Tokerboy, I've written some articles on the Australian band Yothu Yindi, including their albums. They have one called Freedom. But apparently Neil Young has one too. So maybe I should name it Freedom (Yothu Yindi album). Since you seem to be involved in this album project, I'd like to know your opinion. Thanks. Dhum Dhum 19:16 Nov 19, 2002 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome Tokerboy. I'll leave the album as it is now. As for becoming involved in the albums project, consider me a freelance participant rather than a full-fledged one. I've got some Midnight Oil albums which I want to include in Wikipedia. I don't really know what I'll do after that... Dhum Dhum 19:34 Nov 19, 2002 (UTC)

The album stuff is proceeding fine. I just marked up Highway 61 Revisited as promised. Do you have any idea about influential singles, or was that before your time? I wrote one up "Love is Strange" because the cosmic coherence just knocks me out. I also have started articles on the First rock and roll record, rock and roll anthems, and roots of rap music. Ortolan88 04:57 Nov 20, 2002 (UTC)

You had to ask:
 * melody = the tune
 * harmony = the chords and notes that fit with them
 * bass guitar = key instrument, provides rhythm and also sets harmony, can also be string bass, tuba, organ pedals, whatever

Odyssey and Oracle absolutely flows pure music. My copy is temporarily missing, but here's what the New York Times said in 1998:
 * "Over the course of the ensuing decades, (The Zombies) final album...'Odessey and Oracle' - a beautifully arranged, harmony drenched pristine pop paean to memory, the changing seasons, the passage of time and lost love - slowly began to be recognised as one of the greatest albums of the 1960's."

Hi Tokerboy. I just noticed the you moved an article from "Verve" to "The Verve" by cutting an pasting. I just thought I'd let you know, that you can select move page "Move this page" from the left of the window. This will move an article and talk page and preserve the history as well as redirecting the old page to point to the new one. If you already knew this then I'm sorry for the intrusion. Regards Mintguy 20:21 Nov 20, 2002 (UTC)

Howdy. Regarding the Harry Potter page, I have no problem with your change other than I think it could be taken two different ways, grammatically speaking. It's a good idea though, and I think it increases the NPOV of the paragrapgh. --Dante Alighieri

You are now a sysop. --Ed Poor 23:55 Dec 3, 2002 (UTC)

Sorry about your strange messages since being made a sysop. Want me to undo your sysopness temporarily and see if the problem goes away? --Ed Poor 00:43 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)

Good work on Willie Nelson. I just added a bit about his beat-up old guitar. :-) (have you seen it!?)  --KQ 05:25 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation on Talk:Psychopomp. I'll leave things as they are, so the talk page serves as a guide for anyone more expert who wants to resolve this. -- Alan Peakall 12:10 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)

Wow. You beat me to creating an article on The Afghan Whigs, probably my favorite band. Thanks! Now to add a few, er, colorful facts: such as the band formed when Dulli and MacCullum met in jail; which band saw them performing in Cincinnati & told Sub Pop to sign them up; Dulli's moodiness; & (if I can remember which song that was) the fact they missed breaking into the big time because they refused to sanitize one of their songs so it could be played on top 40 radio. Just another great band that no one has ver heard of. -- llywrch 16:55 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)

Thanks for edits and feed back to Culture of New Zealand. This was my first significant article and I am surprised at how little was changed. The only change I take issue with is the link for Kiwi bird being changed to Kiwi - a disambiguation page. See Talk:Culture of New Zealand for more details and comment. -- kiwiinapanic 12:29 Dec 30, 2002 (UTC)

Tokerboy, regarding the articles you're moving to "correct" the capitalization (Keep The Faith to Keep the Faith). Many of these articles names are exactly as they appear on album covers and in official material. I'm not saying flat out that it shouldn't be done, but the fact that these have established capitalizations should be considered. And "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to "Bridge over Troubled Water" is just ugly. :) nknight 07:57 Jan 2, 2003 (UTC)

Tokerboy, Do you know if Fountains of Wayne (the band) is named after the store ''Fountains of Wayne" in Wayne, New Jersey - its a surreal sort of place, very big on Xmas and seasonal stuff, and I'm betting there's a connection. -- Someone else 08:00 Jan 2, 2003 (UTC)
 * Ah, well, I'll bet they are, I'll have to check out the cover to see if the store is pictured on it....too big a coincidence I think for it not to be the reason! -- Someone else 08:06 Jan 2, 2003 (UTC)

Are you sure Wham! should redirect to George Michaels? Weren't there other people in the band also? KQ
 * Interesting. Are you sure the others don't redirect to the singer's page simply because they're named after the singer?  ... Led Zeppelin doesn't redirect, nor does The Beatles (or, for that matter, The Monkees).  But at any rate, you're much more involved in the music articles than I am, so I'll defer to your judgment.  Cheers,  KQ

So many of your music biographies seem to end "his career was essentially over". In the first place, almost everybody has their little day and moves along to make room for the next one, and, in the second place, many of the "essentially over" people keep having their careers, appearing before adoring audiences, but just don't have any more hits. Fabian has been out there with that pretty smile for forty years. Ortolan88
 * Fabian's mother says Fabian is busy, too busy to come to the phone, Dr. Hook
 * Frankie Avalon is currently touring in "Grease", still playing "Teen Angel". -- Zoe

Greetings. I notice that you have been removing phrases such as "His Royal Highness" and "Her Royal Highness" and so on from articles about members of various royal families. Is there a reason for this? Regardless of what one may feel about the validity of the institution of monarchy, if these honorifics are part of the official titles of the people in question, they should be included in articles about them, shouldn't they? -- Oliver PEREIRA 16:31 Jan 14, 2003 (UTC)

 * My understand is that "Her Royal Highness" and the like is not standard for Wikipedia. See Talk:Josephine-Charlotte of Belgium. Tokerboy

 * Thanks for pointing out that Talk page. I think Someone else was referring to styles in the body of articles, although I may have to ask about that. I can see why a convention not to include full styles every time a royal person's name is mentioned would be appealing, as some styles can be quite unwieldy, and at least in the case of someone with an article of their own, one can go to their article (hopefully!) to find what their full style is. (For someone without an article of their own, I suppose one would have to deduce their style from the general styling conventions of the relevant country, which should eventually be covered in the Style - Manner of Address article, or in some article linked to from it. I'll have to think about that one...) I can't find any such convention written down anywhere, though. Can you point it out to me?

 * However, you also removed some styles of people with their own articles from the top lines of the articles themselves, which is certainly not right. An article on a person who is styled a certain way should certainly say how they are styled. To omit such factual information from an encyclopaedia would be very strange indeed! -- Oliver PEREIRA 23:45 Jan 14, 2003 (UTC)

 * Anytime I removed "Her Royal Highness" from the beginning of an article, it was an accident. I agree that full titles should be used in the beginning (bolded) part of the introduction, just not in the body of the article. Tokerboy

 * Okay, thanks for the explanation! That sounds like a sensible convention to follow, I think. -- Oliver PEREIRA 00:22 Jan 15, 2003 (UTC)

I recall ? that you liked the "gorgeous" Ms. Binoche. Take a look at Emmanuelle Beart....DW

Hey, you're someone who knows about these things ... care to add about common collaborations among hip hop groups? e.g. Goodie Mob and OutKast work together frequently; there's no mistaking that one man's voice from Goodie Mob (the one who sings on "Beautiful Skin.") I'd do it myself if I knew the names of the various members. best, Koyaanis Qatsi

Can you add Check your fiction to Policies and guidelines? The page is protected. --Eloquence 21:15 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)

Interesting. Hard to imagine I know more about much of anything in music than you, but I'd recommend The Roots if you haven't heard them, also Nappy Roots and OutKast, especially Aquemeni. Cheers, Koyaanis Qatsi
 * LOL about the Roots/Ja Rule comparison. :-)  Koyaanis Qatsi

My point, perhaps not as clearly made as it should have been, was this: Look at what the Amedeo Modigliani article was (two lines of worthless crap), until I spent several hours accumulating information on the Internet, going to the library and reading Ken Follett's novel: The Modigliani Scandal. (Plus, I actually sat in Modiglian's chair in La Rotonde! On Wikipedia, in two seconds, the ZOE's of this world can destroy hours of hard work. That is not "improving" an article in progress, that is a clear message to discourage people from contributing. And no one on this site works harder than me....DW

Is there a place for "disputed" suicides? That is, deaths ruled suicides by the city fathers but disputed by some; or vice versa, like ruled an accidental overdose but was a "covered-up" suicide.

The official website of the programme calls it Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. Doesn't that mean that that is its official name? -- Oliver P. 18:43 Feb 5, 2003 (UTC)

Tokerboy, I posted a response to your query on the Semitism talk page. But I think the main point is, if you look at the first version of the article, I think Stevert has just made the whole thing up -- if anyone else uses the term "semitism," and I just never heard anyone use it at all, I do not think they use it the ways the article suggests. He's coined his own new word. But Wikipedia shouldn't be a venue for our own inventions. Slrubenstein

Donald Healey

Donald Mitchell Healey CBE (3 July 1898 – 13 January 1988) was a noted English car designer, rally driver and speed record holder.

Early life
Born in Perranporth, Cornwall, elder son of Frederick (John Frederick) and Emma Healey (née Mitchell) who at that time ran a general store there, Donald Healey became interested in all things mechanical at an early age, most particularly aircraft. He studied engineering while at Newquay College. When he left his father bought him an expensive apprenticeship with Sopwith Aviation Company in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey and he joined Sopwith in 1914 continuing his engineering studies at Kingston Technical College. Sopwith had sheds at the nearby Brooklands aerodrome and racing circuit. Barely 16 when WW1 started, he volunteered in 1916 (before the end of his apprenticeship ) for the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and earned his "wings" as a pilot. He went on night bombing raids and served on anti-Zeppelin patrols and also as a flying instructor. Shot down by British anti-aircraft fire on one of the first night bomber missions of the war, after a further series of crashes he was invalided out of the RFC in November 1917 and spent the rest of the war checking aircraft components for the Air Ministry. After the Armistice he returned to Cornwall, took a correspondence course in automobile engineering and opened the first garage in Perranporth in 1920.

Donald Healey married Ivy Maud James (she died in 1980) on 21 October 1921 and they had three sons.

Triumph
Healey found rally driving and motor racing more interesting than his garage and its car hire business and used the garage to prepare cars for competition. He first entered the Monte Carlo Rally in 1929 driving a Triumph 7 but in 1931 Donald Healey won the Monte Carlo Rally driving a 4½-litre Invicta and was 2nd overall the next year. Now in demand as a competition driver he sold the garage business, moved to the Midlands to work for Riley but soon moved to the Triumph Motor Company as experimental manager. The next year he was made technical director and responsible for the design of all Triumph cars. He created the Triumph Southern Cross and then the Triumph Dolomite 8 straight-eight sports car in 1935 following his class win, and 3rd overall, in the 1934 Monte Carlo Rally in a Triumph Gloria of his own design —the previous year a train demolished their Dolomite on a foggy level crossing miraculously sparing Healey and his co-driver. Triumph went into liquidation in 1939 but Healey remained on the premises as works manager for H M Hobson making aircraft engine carburettors for the Ministry of Supply. Later in the war he worked with Humber on armoured cars. Donald Healey was keen to begin making his own cars, planning post-war sports cars with colleague and chassis specialist Achille Sampietro.

Donald Healey Motor Company
In 1945 he formed with Sampietro and Ben Bowden the Donald Healey Motor Company Ltd basing its business in an old RAF hangar at Warwick. Their first cars were expensive high quality cars.

Healey Elliot
Healey's first car appeared in 1946, the Healey Elliot, a saloon with a Riley engine, developed by Dr J.N.H Tait. Following his Triumphs it won the 1947 and 1948 alpine rallies and the touring class of the 1948 Mille Miglia.

Healey Silverstone
Next was a high-performance sports car, the Silverstone which appeared in 1949 and was so successful it led to an agreement with an American company Nash Motors.

Nash
In 1949, Healey established an agreement with George W. Mason, the president of Nash Motors to build Nash-engined Healey sports cars. The first series of the 2-seaters were built in 1951 and they were designed by Healey with styling and aerodynamic input from Benjamin Bowden. The same all-enveloping theme was used by Bowden on the Zethrin Rennsport one year later. The Nash-Healey's engine was a Nash Ambassador 6-cylinder, the body was aluminium, and the chassis was a Healey Silverstone. However, Pininfarina restyled the bodywork for 1952 and took over the production of its new steel body.

A Nash-Healey was driven by Donald Healey at Le Mans in 1950. Team members Duncan Hamilton & Tony Rolt's car finished 4th overall after suffering serious mechanical damage when hit from behind by a brakeless Delage. Donald Healey also drove a Nash-Healey in the Mille Miglia 1950 to 1952. He finished 1st in class in over 2000cc open category and was presented with the Franco Mazzotti Trophy Coppia Del Mille Miglia. Co driving with Nash.

Austin-Healey

So far the Healeys had all been expensive. Donald Healey wanted to produce a comparatively inexpensive sports car with 100 mph performance. He developed the Austin-Healey 100 using an Austin instead of the Tait developed Riley 2.5-litre engine and gearbox displaying it first at the October 1952 Earls Court motor show in London. The Morris-Austin merger had brought on BMC's decision to phase out the (Morris) Riley unit. His new factory, Cape Works, could not supply the demand so instead the Austin-Healeys were manufactured under a licensing arrangement by British Motor Corporation at their Longbridge works. A total of 74,000 Austin Healey 100s were built, more than 80% for export.

At that time Nash and Austin were working together on the project which became their Metropolitan

Healey Automotive Consultants
Donald Healey formed a design consultancy in 1955, one of the results was the Austin-Healey Sprite which went into production in 1958.

Jensen-Healey
The production arrangement with BMC ended in 1967. In 1970 Healey became chairman of Jensen Motors with the enthusiastic backing of key US based Austin-Healey distributors. This was a long and fruitful relationship for Healey, in part because Jensen had been making body shells for Austin-Healey since the 1952 demise of the similar Austin A40 Sports. Healey's first project with a Jensen was re-engineering the Jensen 541S with a V8 engine in 1961, the resulting car being a personal favourite of Healey's. Ten years later, Healey helped design the Lotus engined Jensen-Healey together with Lagonda designer William Towns, to replace the Austin-Healey, which BMC were discontinuing.

He designed this new Jensen-Healey using Vauxhall running gear and prototyped it using Vauxhall and Ford engines, which either had insufficient power, did not fit the sloping bonnet, or were unable to comply with the emission standards set in place in USA. Ultimately, he settled on the all-aluminum 4-valve, twin overhead cam Lotus 907

He resisted offers from Saab and Ford to produce a new sports car.

Later life
He bought the 27 acre Trebah Estate, near Falmouth, Cornwall in 1961 and carried out many ambitious projects there, including the building of commercial greenhouses to grow orchids and a project to build air/sea rescue inflatables. He demolished the concrete covering of the beach of Polgwidden Cove (a D-Day invasion launch-pad) and used the salvaged material to surface a steep track from the house to the beach. (Hibbert, 2005). He sold Trebah in 1971. His son, Geoffrey, born in 1922 and a former pupil of Warwick School, wrote several books about the cars and one about their partnership (see below). Donald Healey died in Truro at the age of 89. A memorial window in St Michael's Church Perranporth was provided by the Austin-Healey Club of America. The Austin Healey Club has also placed a small monument, in the form of a sports car, and an inscribed plaque, as a memorial to Donald Healey, next to the Visitor Centre in the garden of Trebah which is now open to the public.

His obituary in The Times reported that Healey was a small rotund man with a flashing smile and that he kept himself immensely fit, and had been, in his day, an expert water skier.

Recognitions

 * In 1962 he received the Médaille de l'Éducation Physique et des Sports (1ère Cl.) in Monaco.
 * For his "services to export", Healey was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973.
 * In 1996, he was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.

Mobile processor

A mobile processor is a microprocessor designed for mobile devices such as laptops, and cell phones.

A CPU chip is designed for portable computers to run fanless, under 10 to 15W, which is cool enough without a fan. It is typically housed in a smaller chip package, but more importantly, in order to run cooler, it uses lower voltages than its desktop counterpart and has more sleep mode capability. A mobile processor can be throttled down to different power levels or sections of the chip can be turned off entirely when not in use. Further, the clock frequency may be stepped down under low processor loads. This stepping down conserves power and prolongs battery life.

Today's CPUs are usually more than just a single unit. They are split into "cores", each acting like an individual CPU. They also use "threading", allowing each core to do multiple tasks, amplifying the performance.

In laptops
One of the main characteristics differentiating laptop processors from other CPUs is low-power consumption, however, they are not without tradeoffs; they also tend to not perform as well as their desktop counterparts.

The notebook processor has become an important market segment in the semiconductor industry. Notebook computers are a popular format of the broader category of mobile computers. The objective of a notebook computer is to provide the performance and functionality of a desktop computer in a portable size and weight.

Cell phones and PDAs use "system on a chip" integrated circuits that use less power than most notebook processors.

While it is possible to use desktop processors in laptops, this practice is generally not recommended, as desktop processors heat faster than notebook processors and drain batteries faster.

Talk:Nonary

A nonary number is divisible by six, if it is divisible by three and by two.

Well, this is true, but then it is true for any number base... ;) Morwen 09:27, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC)

This artilce confuses me, and i dont relaly understand, whats it used for :-s ? -fonzy

I think Wales once had a base-nine numeral system. I think "two nines" is still used for 18, for example. The Jade Knight 06:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

The use of "two nines" for 18 is a form of the irish refering to multiples of 19 as such (six 19s). The number is variously three-fifteen, (3+15) two-nine or new style one ty eight. --Wendy.krieger (talk) 12:59, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Nonsensical paragraph

 * nonary can also go 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,22....... No Zero's since they dont really exist anyways.. PS. dont allways belive what you read, search out the truth for yourself!

This statement doesn't make much sense, and is not in any case very encyclopedic, so I'm removing it to the talk page here. If the original editor (Octahedron80) has an issue with it, then let us please argue here. --Wtrmute 19:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I didn't add the statement. You are misunderstanding. --Octra Bond (talk) 02:58, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

 * The statement is indeed correct, since the digits of a number is the difference between the number and its referant. For example, the set here does not allow conversions of 2-digit numbers into three-digit numbers (eg dec 17 to 017), so every length and combination of digit has its own sequence.

 * A similar thing exists with the balanced trinary system, where the digits could be either 0,1,2 or -1,0,1. In practice, the digits can be any possibility of digit, as long as all of the remainders are covered.  In base 3, the digit strings 1,2,3 and -1,1,3 also work.  --Wendy.krieger (talk) 09:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

WP:Notability
This page doesn't have any explanation of WP:Notability of the topic, it does not appear that the system has been noted outside of Wikipedia except by one science fiction author. Is there anything else notable about it? Was it used in any interesting mathematical proofs? considered to have any special properties by a WP:Reliable Source? etc. Cheers, — sligocki (talk) 01:35, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * All bases up to 16 have articles of their own, and many largter bases too - see the category. Some of these articles may need some attention and streamlining (which I'd support), and the less notable ones might be merged into one article (I don't actually support that). In any case, deletion of Nonary should be part of a coordinated effort on these articles.--Noe (talk) 07:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I see that sligocki is suggesting deletion of more of these articles. I think all discussion should be directed to one place - e.g. category talk:Positional numeral systems.--Noe (talk) 09:25, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Alright, this is sort of rediculous, There are articles on bases 1–16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 36, 60, 64
 * I'm leaning toward keep on:
 * unary, binary, trinary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal are all commonly used in math. Clear notability.
 * base 20 and base 60 have historical notability as early numeral systems, seems good.
 * base 12 is used for music and has often been suggest because there are many factors of 12, seems like a pretty good article.
 * base 36 seems to be widely used in CS for some reason, probably notable.
 * base 4 claims to be useful for Hilbert curves.
 * Skeptical about:
 * base 24 seems to claim notability because of the 24-hour/day system, but that's not really a positional system, only one 24-digit, I'm skeptical of notability.
 * base 6 and base 30 claim notability because all primes have certain endings, it is not noted whether this is used by anyone favorably. Dubious notability.
 * And leaning towards delete (redirect to positional system) for:
 * base 32 and base 64 seem to be here simply because of Base32 and Base64. I don't see why the have their own articles.
 * base 5, base 15 seems most notable for being used in a natural language (maybe). Copied info over to Decimal.
 * base 7, base 9, base 11, base 13 seems most notable for the plethora of sci-fi refs (perhaps we could have a general article about non-standard bases)
 * base 14 seems completely unnotable.
 * Cheers, — sligocki (talk) 09:58, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

NONAL!
i was thinking apart from you guys and I thought that the name "nonal" would be better — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.185.0.100 (talk) 01:14, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

East Asians use Nonary?
just wondering, due to Tetraphobia, can we say that East Asians use base 9 in some cases? (since 4 is omitted, so 10 is actually 9) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.246.68.208 (talk) 02:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Cervicitis

Cervicitis is inflammation of the uterine cervix. Cervicitis in women has many features in common with urethritis in men and many cases are caused by sexually transmitted infections. Non-infectious causes of cervicitis can include intrauterine devices, contraceptive diaphragms, and allergic reactions to spermicides or latex condoms. Cervicitis affects over half of all women during their adult life.

Cervicitis may ascend and cause endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Cervicitis may be acute or chronic.

Symptoms and signs
Cervicitis may have no symptoms. If symptoms do manifest, they may include:
 * Abnormal vaginal bleeding after intercourse after periods
 * Unusual gray, white, or yellow vaginal discharge
 * Painful sexual intercourse
 * Pain in the vagina
 * Pressure or heaviness in the pelvis
 * Frequent, painful urination

Causes
Cervicitis can be caused by any of a number of infections, of which the most common are chlamydia and gonorrhea, with chlamydia accounting for approximately 40% of cases. Other causes include Trichomonas vaginalis, herpes simplex virus, and Mycoplasma genitalium.

While sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are the most common cause of cervicitis, there are other potential causes as well. This includes vaginitis caused by bacterial vaginosis or Trichomonas vaginalis. This also includes a device inserted into the pelvic area (i.e. a cervical cap, IUD, pessary, etc.); an allergy to spermicides or latex in condoms; or, exposure to a chemical, for example while douching. Inflammation can also be idiopathic, where no specific cause is found. While IUDs do not cause cervicitis, active cervicitis is a contraindication to placing an IUD. If a person with an IUD develops cervicitis, it usually does not need to be removed, if the person wants to continue using it.

There are also certain behaviors that can place individuals at a higher risk for contracting cervicitis. High-risk sexual behavior, a history of STIs, many sexual partners, sex at an early age, and sexual partners who engage in high-risk sexual behavior or have had an STI can increase the likelihood of contracting cervicitis.

Diagnosis
To diagnose cervicitis, a clinician will perform a pelvic exam. This exam includes a speculum exam with visual inspection of the cervix for abnormal discharge, which is usually purulent or bleeding from the cervix with little provocation. Swabs can be used to collect a sample of this discharge for inspection under a microscope and/or lab testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and Trichomonas vaginalis. A bimanual exam in which the clinician palpates the cervix to see if there is any associated pain should be done to assess for pelvic inflammatory disease.

Prevention
The risk of contracting cervicitis from STIs can be reduced by using condoms during every sexual encounter. Condoms are effective against the spread of STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea that cause cervicitis. Also, being in a long-term monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner can lower the risk of an STI.

Ensuring that foreign objects like tampons are properly placed in the vagina and following instructions how long to leave it inside, how often to change it, and/or how often to clean it can reduce the risk of cervicitis. In addition, avoiding potential irritants like douches and deodorant tampons can prevent cervicitis.

Treatment
Non-infectious causes of cervicitis are primarily treated by eliminating or limiting exposure to the irritant. Antibiotics, usually azithromycin or doxycycline, or antiviral medications are used to treat infectious causes. Women at increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (i.e., less than 25 years of age and a new sexual partner, a sexual partner with other partners, or a sexual partner with a known sexually transmitted infection), should be treated presumptively for chlamydia and possibly gonorrhea, particularly if follow-up care cannot be ensured or diagnostic testing is not possible. For lower risk women, deferring treatment until test results are available is an option.

To reduce the risk of reinfection, women should abstain from sexual intercourse for seven days after treatment is started. Also, sexual partners (within the last sixty days) of anyone with infectious cervicitis should be referred for evaluation or treated through expedited partner therapy (EPT). EPT is the process by which a clinician treats the sexual partner of a patient diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection without first meeting or examining the partner. Sexual partners should also avoid sexual intercourse until they and their partners are adequately treated.

Untreated cervicitis is also associated with an increased susceptibility to HIV infection. Women with infectious cervicitis should be tested for other sexually transmitted infections, including HIV and syphilis.

Cervicitis should be followed up. Women with a specific diagnosis of chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomonas should see a clinician in three months after treatment for repeat testing because they are at higher risk of getting reinfected, regardless of whether their sex partners were treated. Treatment in pregnant women is the same as those who are not pregnant.
