Talk:Changeling (comics)

Merged
I merged the page Changeling (Marvel Comics) into Changeling (comics). After all, do we really need two pages, Changeling (DC Comics) and Changeling (Marvel Comics) for two obscure comic book characters? (The Changeling (DC Comics) article didn't even exist yet at the time I merged Changeling (Marvel Comics) into Changeling (comics).) I think we should not use disambiguation phrases like Changeling (Marvel Comics) because people may have a tendency to forget, or be unaware that, the character exists also in another comics book universe (especially in cases where the character is obscure in one universe but famous in another). Also, this follows the precedent of Sandman (comics) and Captain Marvel, which are articles discussing characters from both Marvel Comics and DC Comics. --Lowellian 20:13, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)

 * Argh, I don't agree with this at all. The characters have no real relationship to one another, other than similar powers, and the DC character's article has the potential to become quite long.  I think having multiple pages with a disambiguation page at (comics) is exactly the right thing to do here.  And yes, I think the Sandman and Captain Marvel pages should also be changed in this way. -mhr 21:01, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * I agree with mhr. Putting them into one page would be like putting Golf (the sport) and VW Golf (the car) into one page. -- Timwi 21:06, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * I added a related note on my opinion to Talk:List of Marvel Comics characters, if anyone cares... -mhr 21:09, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * I agree with mhr on this, now that I've seen it. Here's what I propose: Changeling of course, stays as it is. Changeling (comics) should be a further disambiguation page linking to the two new pages Changeling (comics - DC) and Changeling (comics - Marvel). Of course Changeling would have to point to both of the new pages, as well as to the other links it currently has. UtherSRG 00:21, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * As an historical point, UtherSRG's suggestion is essentially what I'd originally created, except that I used Changeling (Marvel Comics) and Changeling (DC Comics) (but hadn't gotten around to writing the article for the latter).

 * I prefer the disambiguation phrases I used (which probably is no surprise). I tend to prefer phrases that scan well in English over those that are in true significance order but look funny in English; I would go the other way if Wikipedia supported a tiered disambiguation mechanism (for instance, Changeling (comics) (Marvel Comics), which unfortunately pipes to Changeling - argh). That said, I don't care enough to argue any further about which disambiguation form we use, so if this doesn't persuade you then I will quietly give in on that point. :-)  -mhr 00:44, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * I also commented on UtherSRG's related point at Talk:List of Marvel Comics characters. -mhr 00:50, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Heh. I just finished splitting the article in two along these lines, and then while checking the "what links here" to clean up disambiguation I popped over to see that it had been discussed over a year ago. It seemed like such an obvious thing to do that I just went ahead and did. Bryan 00:21, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I removed the following from the article because I don't think RPG stats belong in Wikipedia. Since large numbers of these "vital stats" sections have been added to various articles, I'm using Talk:Strength level (comics) to discuss this in general. Bryan 08:05, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Product stewardship

Product stewardship is an approach to managing the environmental impacts of different products and materials and at different stages in their production, use and disposal. It acknowledges that those involved in producing, selling, using and disposing of products have a shared responsibility to ensure that those products or materials are managed in a way that reduces their impact, throughout their lifecycle, on the environment and on human health and safety. This approach focusses on the product itself, and everyone involved in the lifespan of the product is called upon to take up responsibility to reduce its environmental, health, and safety impacts.

For manufacturers, this includes planning for, and if necessary, paying for the recycling or disposal of the product at the end of its useful life. This may be achieved, in part, by redesigning products to use fewer harmful substances, to be more durable, reusable and recyclable, and to make products from recycled materials. For retailers and consumers, this means taking an active role in ensuring the proper disposal or recycling of an end-of-life product.

Those who advocate it are concerned with the later phases of product lifecycle and the comprehensive outcome of the whole production process. It is considered a pre-requisite to a strict service economy interpretation of (fictional, national, legal) "commodity" and "product" relationships.

The most familiar example is the container-deposit legislation. A fee is paid to buy the bottle, separately from the fee to buy what it contains. If the bottle is returned, the fee is returned, and the supplier must return the bottle for re-use or recycling. If not, the collected fee can be used to pay for landfill or litter control measures. Also, since the same fee can be collected by anyone finding and returning the bottle, it is common for people to collect these and return them as a means of surviving: this is quite common, for instance, among homeless people in U.S. cities.

However, the principle is applied very broadly beyond bottles to paint and automobile parts such as tires. When purchasing paint or tires in many places, one simultaneously pays for the disposal of the toxic waste they become. In some countries, such as Germany, law requires attention to the comprehensive outcome of the whole extraction, production, distribution, use and waste of a product, and holds those profiting from these legally responsible for any outcome along the way. This is also the trend in the UK and EU generally. In the United States, the issue has been confronted via class action lawsuits that attempt to hold companies liable for the environmental impact of their products. Thus far, such as litigation or proposed accounting reforms such as full cost accounting have not gained much traction for the product stewardship concept in the United States beyond the realm of academe and corporate public relations (derisively referred to as greenwashing).

The demand-side approach ethical consumerism, supported by consumer education and information about environmental impacts, may approach some of the same outcomes as product stewardship.

Certified Professional Product Steward
Product stewardship professionals can seek certification as a Certified Professional Product Steward (CPPS) from the Board for Global EHS Credentialing. The CPPS is the first credential of its kind, providing product stewards with the opportunity to distinguish their expertise and build professional credibility within the field.

Legislation
Australia's Product Stewardship Act 2011 provides a framework for managing the environmental, health and safety impacts of products, and in particular those impacts associated with the disposal of products and their associated waste. The framework includes voluntary, co-regulatory and mandatory product stewardship. The passage of the legislation is said to have delivered on a key commitment by the Australian Government under the National Waste Policy, which was agreed by Australian state governments in November 2009 and endorsed by the Council of Australian Governments in October 2010.

The Act supports the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) through the Product Stewardship (Televisions and Computers) Regulations 2011. The scheme has recycled approximately 230,000 tonnes of electronic waste since its inception. This review is an important opportunity to continue to update and improve the NTCRS.

The Minister’s Product List is established by the Act, and is updated annually. The list informs the community and industry of those products being considered for accreditation or regulation under the Act.

A review of the Act was mandated to take place five years after implementation, and this was initiated in March 2018.

Extended producer responsibility
Product Stewardship is often used interchangeably with extended producer responsibility, a similar concept. However, there are distinct differences between the two, as suggested by the semantics of the different terms used.

While both concepts bring the onus of waste management for end-of-life products from the government to the manufacturers, Product Stewardship further extends this responsibility to everyone involved in the life-cycle of the product—not only manufacturers, but also retailers, consumers and recyclers.

Alexander McQueen

Lee Alexander McQueen (17 March 1969 – 11 February 2010) was a British fashion designer and couturier. He founded his own Alexander McQueen label in 1992, and was chief designer at Givenchy from 1996 to 2001. His achievements in fashion earned him four British Designer of the Year awards (1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003), as well as the Council of Fashion Designers of America International Designer of the Year award in 2003. McQueen died by suicide in 2010 at the age of 40, at his home in Mayfair, London, shortly after the death of his mother.

McQueen had a background in tailoring before he studied fashion and embarked on a career as a designer. His MA graduation collection caught the attention of fashion editor Isabella Blow, who became his patron. McQueen's early designs, particularly the radically low-cut "bumster" trousers, gained him recognition as an enfant terrible in British fashion. In 2000, McQueen sold 51% of his company to the Gucci Group, which established boutiques for his label worldwide and expanded its product range. During his career, he designed a total of 36 collections for his brand, including his graduation collection and unfinished final collection. Following his death, longtime collaborator Sarah Burton took over as creative director of his label.

As a designer, McQueen was known for sharp tailoring, historicism, and imaginative designs that often verged into the controversial. He explored themes such as romanticism, sexuality, and death, and many collections had autobiographical elements. Among his best-known individual designs are the bumsters, the skull scarf, and the armadillo shoes. McQueen's catwalk shows were noted for their drama and theatricality, and they often ended with elements of performance art, such as a model being spray painted by robots (No. 13, Spring/Summer 1999), or a life-size illusion of Kate Moss (The Widows of Culloden, Autumn/Winter 2006).

McQueen's legacy in fashion and culture is extensive. His designs were showcased in two retrospective exhibitions: Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty (2011 and 2015) and Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse (2022). He remains the subject of journalistic and academic analysis, including the book Gods and Kings (2015) by fashion journalist Dana Thomas and the documentary film McQueen (2018).

Early life
Lee Alexander McQueen was born on 17 March 1969 at University Hospital Lewisham in Lewisham, London, to Ronald and Joyce McQueen, the youngest of six children. His Scottish father worked as a London taxi driver, and his mother a social science teacher. It was reported that he grew up in a council flat, but, in fact, the McQueens moved to a terraced house in Stratford in his first year. McQueen attended Carpenters Road Primary School, before going to Rokeby School.

He was interested in clothes from a young age. As the youngest of six children, McQueen began experimenting with fashion by making dresses for his three sisters. His earliest fashion memory reaches back to when he was just three years old, drawing a dress on the wall of his East London family home. He was also fascinated by birds and was a member of the Young Ornithologists' Club; later, in his professional career, he often used birds as motifs in his designs.

Early years
McQueen left school aged 16 in 1985 with only one O-level in art and took a course in tailoring at Newham College. He went on to serve a two-year apprenticeship in coat-making with Savile Row tailors Anderson & Sheppard before joining Gieves & Hawkes as a pattern cutter for a short time. The skills he learned as an apprentice on Savile Row helped earn him a reputation in the fashion world as an expert in creating an impeccably tailored look. McQueen later claimed that he had sewed obscenities into the lining of suits made for Prince Charles, although a recall of suits made by Anderson & Sheppard to check found no evidence of this.

After Savile Row, he worked briefly for the theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans, making costumes for shows such as Les Misérables. In 1989, at the age of 20, he was hired by experimental Mayfair-based designer Koji Tatsuno. He first worked as a pattern cutter before moving into clothing production. Shortly after, he moved to fashion label Red or Dead, working under designer John McKitterick; here he gained experience with fetishwear. When McKitterick left Red or Dead in early 1990 to launch his own label, he hired McQueen. By this time, McQueen was interested in becoming a designer himself, and McKitterick recommended he try for an apprenticeship in Italy, then the centre of the fashion world.

In spring 1990, McQueen left for Milan, Italy. He had no standing job offer, but secured a position with Romeo Gigli on the basis of his portfolio and tailoring experience. He resigned from Gigli's studio in July 1990, and had returned to London – and McKitterick's label – by August that year.

Central Saint Martins
McQueen was still hungry to learn more about designing clothes, so McKitterick suggested he see Bobby Hillson, the Head of the MA course in fashion at London art school Central Saint Martins (CSM). McQueen turned up at CSM with a pile of sample clothing and no appointment, seeking a job teaching pattern cutting. Hillson considered him too young for this, but based on the strength of his portfolio, and despite his lack of formal qualifications, accepted McQueen into the 18-month master's-level fashion design course. Unable to afford the tuition, he borrowed £4,000 from his aunt Renee to cover it.

McQueen started at CSM in October 1990. He met a number of his future collaborators there, including Simon Ungless, a friend and later room-mate, and Fleet Bigwood, a print tutor at the school. McQueen received his master's degree in fashion design after presenting his graduation collection at London Fashion Week in March 1992. The collection, titled Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims, was bought in its entirety by magazine editor Isabella Blow. Through the early days of McQueen's career, Isabella Blow helped pave the way using her unique style and contacts to help McQueen. She was in many ways his mentor, which grew into a close friendship.

Blow was said to have persuaded McQueen to use his middle name Alexander when he subsequently launched his fashion career. Another suggestion was that he used his middle name so as not to lose his unemployment benefits for which he was registered while still a struggling young designer under the name of Lee McQueen. McQueen had said that he refused to be photographed in his early career because he did not want to be recognized in the dole office. In the 2018 documentary McQueen, his boyfriend and assistant designer in the early days, Andrew Groves, said that McQueen dictated that they could only show him from behind to avoid being identified and losing his unemployment benefits – his only significant means of income at that time.

Own label
In 1992, McQueen started his own label, and for a time he lived in the basement of Blow's house in Belgravia while it was under renovation. In 1993, he relocated to Hoxton Square, an area that also housed other new designers including Hussein Chalayan and Pauric Sweeney. His first post-graduation collection, Taxi Driver (Autumn/Winter 1993), was inspired by the 1976 Martin Scorsese film of the same name. It was presented during London Fashion Week in March 1993 on a clothes rack in a small room at the Ritz Hotel. McQueen was one of six young designers sponsored by the British Fashion Council that season. Taxi Driver saw the introduction of the "bumster", an extreme low-rise trouser which McQueen returned to again and again. With this collection, McQueen began his early practice of sewing locks of his own hair in perspex onto the clothes to serve as his label. When the exhibit closed, McQueen packed the items into bin bags and headed out clubbing. He stashed the bags behind one club, started drinking, and promptly forgot about them. When he returned the next day, the entire collection was gone. Nothing remains of the collection.

Early runway shows
McQueen's first professional runway show in 1993, the Spring/Summer 1994's Nihilism collection, was held at the Bluebird Garage in Chelsea. His early runway collections developed his reputation for controversy and shock tactics, earning him monikers like enfant terrible and "the hooligan of English fashion". McQueen's Nihilism collection, with some models looking bruised and bloodied in see-through clothes and extremely low-cut bumster trousers, was described by journalist Marion Hume of The Independent as "theatre of cruelty" and "a horror show".

McQueen's second runway show was for the Banshee collection. Shortly after creating this collection. McQueen met Katy England, his soon to be "right hand woman", outside a "high profile fashion show" trying to "blag her way in". He asked her to join him as creative director for his following collection, The Birds; she worked with McQueen for many years, serving as his "second opinion". The Birds, which was named after the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock film The Birds and held at Kings Cross, had a roadkill theme featuring clothes with tyre marks and the corsetier Mr Pearl in an 18-inch waist corset.

McQueen's "bumsters" were a common feature of his early shows. Although derided by some and attracting many comments and debate, it spawned a trend in low-rise jeans, especially after Madonna wore a pair in an MTV advert in 1994. Michael Oliveira-Salac, the director of Blow PR and a friend of McQueen's said, "The bumster for me is what defined McQueen."

Mainstream publicity
Although McQueen had found some success with The Birds, it was his controversial sixth collection, Highland Rape (Autumn/Winter 1995), that properly made his name. The collection was inspired by Scottish history, particularly the Highland Clearances of the late 18th and 19th centuries. Styling at the runway show was violent and aggressive: many of the showpieces were slashed or torn, while others were spattered with bleach or fake blood. Reviewers interpreted it as being about women who were raped and criticised what they saw as misogyny and the glamorisation of rape. McQueen denied this, arguing that it referred to "England's rape of Scotland", and was intended to counter other designers' romantic depiction of Scottish culture. As for the charge of misogyny, he said he aimed to empower women and for people to be afraid of the women he dressed.

McQueen followed Highland Rape with The Hunger (Spring/Summer 1996) and Dante (Autumn/Winter 1996). Dante further raised his international profile, and the collection was shown twice; first in Christ Church, Spitalfields, London, later in a disused synagogue in New York, both attended by large enthusiastic crowds. McQueen won his first British Designer of the Year award in 1996.

McQueen's increasing prominence led to a number of projects for music artists. In 1996, he designed the wardrobe for David Bowie's tour of 1997, such as the Union Jack coat worn by Bowie on the cover of his album Earthling. Icelandic singer Björk sought McQueen's work for the cover of her album Homogenic in 1997. McQueen also directed the music video for her song "Alarm Call" from the same album and later contributed the iconic topless dress to her video for "Pagan Poetry".

McQueen continued to be criticised for misogyny in some of his later shows for designs that some considered degrading to women. In Bellmer La Poupée (Spring/Summer 1997), inspired by Hans Bellmer's The Doll, McQueen placed models including the black model Debra Shaw in metal restraints, which observers interpreted as a reference to slavery, while the silver mouthpiece in Eshu (Autumn/Winter 2000) forced the wearer to bare her teeth. Similarly the sex-doll lips make-up of the models in The Horn of Plenty (Autumn/Winter 2009–10) was also criticised as being ugly and misogynistic. The fashion writer of the Daily Mail called McQueen "the designer who hates women".

Givenchy appointment
McQueen was appointed head designer of Givenchy in 1996 to succeed John Galliano who had moved to Dior. Hubert de Givenchy, founder of the label known for its elegant couture, criticised McQueen's appointment, describing it as a "total disaster". In turn, upon his arrival at Givenchy, McQueen insulted the founder by calling him "irrelevant". McQueen's debut show for Givenchy, Spring/Summer 1997, featured Greek mythology-inspired gold and white designs. Although beautiful, the collection was considered a failure by some critics in contrast to the praise lavished on John Galliano's debut collection for Dior. McQueen himself said to Vogue in October 1997 that the collection was "crap". McQueen had toned down his designs at Givenchy, although he continued to indulge his rebellious streak. Givenchy designs released by Vogue Patterns during this period may be credited to the late designer.

McQueen's relationship with Givenchy was fraught, and he left in March 2001 after his contract ended, with McQueen arguing that Givenchy had started to "constrain" his creativity.

It's a Jungle out There
Five weeks after his criticised debut for Givenchy, McQueen staged his own show entitled It's a Jungle Out There, which was inspired by nature. The title was a response to the criticism he received; according to McQueen, after he watched a nature documentary about gazelles being hunted by lions: 'That's me!' Someone's chasing me all the time, and, if I'm caught, they'll pull me down. Fashion is a jungle full of nasty, bitchy hyenas." Models wore eye make-up to resemble gazelles and clothes with horns in the show. This collection, presented at London's Borough Market, was judged a triumph. Amy Spindler of The New York Times, who had criticised his Givenchy debut, wrote that McQueen was "fashion's closest thing to a rock star. He isn't just part of the London scene; he is the scene.". The London show restored his reputation and he went on to produce a number of well-received collections for Givenchy.

McQueen staged many of his shows in an unusual or dramatic fashion. His Spring/Summer 1998 Untitled collection (originally titled "Golden Shower" until the sponsor objected) was presented on a catwalk showered with water in yellow light, while the following Joan (after Joan of Arc) ended with a masked model standing in a ring of fire.

No. 13
McQueen's Spring/Summer '99 collection No. 13 (it was his 13th collection) was held in a warehouse in London on 27 September 1998 and received widespread media attention. It took inspiration from William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, with its concern for handcraft. Some of the dresses incorporated Morris-inspired embroidery, and the show featured double amputee Aimee Mullins in a pair of prosthetic legs intricately hand-carved in ash. The finale of the show, however, provided a counter-point to the anti-industrial ethic of the Arts and Crafts movement. It featured Shalom Harlow in a white dress spray-painted in yellow and black by two robotic arms from a car manufacturing plant. It is considered one of the most memorable finales in fashion history.

McQueen's following collection, The Overlook (Autumn/Winter 1999), was named after the Overlook Hotel from Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film The Shining. Inspired by the film's winter setting, the runway show featured a winter scene with ice-skaters and presented clothes mostly in white and grey. A notable creation in the show was the coiled corset made in collaboration with jeweller Shaun Leane, who also crafted many other pieces for McQueen, including a Spine Corset (Untitled Spring/Summer 1998) and a yashmak in aluminium and crystal (Eye, Spring/Summer 2000). The coiled corset, an expansion of the idea of a coiled neck-piece made by Leane for It's a Jungle Out There, was made out of aluminium rings. It was sold in 2017 for $807,000.

McQueen held his first runway show in New York in 1999, titled Eye (Spring/Summer 2000). The theme was the West's relationship with Islam and featured designs that were sexualised versions of traditional Islamic dress, which was poorly received by the critics. The show ended with models in niqāb and burqa floating above spikes that had appeared out of water.

Voss
One of McQueen's most celebrated and dramatic catwalk shows was his 2001 Spring/Summer collection, named Voss after a Norwegian town known for its wildlife habitat. Nature was reflected in the natural material used in some of his clothes such as ostrich feathers, but more unusual were outfits made out of razor clam and mussel shells.

The centre piece tableau that dominated the show was an enormous dark glass box within a larger glass box. Inside the inner dark glass case was an interior filled with moths and, at the centre, a naked model on a chaise longue with her face obscured by a gas mask. The tableau was revealed when the glass walls of the inner box fell away towards the end of the show and smashed onto the ground. McQueen said that the tableau was based on the Joel Peter Witkin image Sanitarium. The model chosen by McQueen to be the centre of the show was the British writer Michelle Olley. The British fashion photographer Nick Knight said of the VOSS show on his SHOWstudio.com blog: "It was probably one of the best pieces of Fashion Theatre I have ever witnessed."

Because the room outside the box was lit and the inside of the box was unlit before the show started, the glass walls appeared as large mirrors, so that the seated audience saw only their own reflection. Alexander McQueen later described his thoughts on the idea used during VOSS of forcing his audience to stare at their own reflection in the mirrored walls for over an hour before the show started: "'Ha! I was really pleased about that. I was looking at it on the monitor, everyone trying not to look at themselves. It was a great thing to do in the fashion industry—turn it back on them! God, I've had some freaky shows.'"

Gucci partnership
Before his contract with Givenchy had finished, McQueen signed a deal with Givenchy's rival Gucci in 2000, daring Givenchy to fire him. Gucci bought 51% of McQueen's company with McQueen remaining its creative director, and the deal allowed McQueen to expand his own Alexander McQueen label. In the following years a number of Alexander McQueen boutiques opened in cities around the world, and the label also extended into perfume, eyewear and accessories, trainers, as well as a menswear line.

McQueen continued to present his runway shows in the unconventional manner for which he had become known. The Autumn 2001 show, his last show in London before moving to Paris, featured a merry-go-round with models in clown make-up dragging along a golden skeleton; the Autumn/Winter 2002 Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious collection was shown with live caged wolves and a black parachute cape inspired by Tim Burton;  the Autumn/Winter 2003 Scanners was presented in a snowy wasteland setting with models walking along a wind tunnel;  and the Autumn 2004 show was a re-enactment of dance scenes from Sydney Pollack's film They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, choreographed for the show by Michael Clark. For the spring 2005 It's Only a Game collection, he presented a human chess game, and his autumn 2006 show The Widows of Culloden, featured a life-sized illusion of Kate Moss, an English supermodel, dressed in yards of rippling fabric.

McQueen also became known for using skulls in his designs. A scarf bearing the skull motif, which first appeared in the Irere Spring/Summer collection of 2003, became a celebrity must-have and was copied around the world.

Although McQueen had incorporated menswear into many of his previous catwalk shows, for example Spring/Summer '98, it was only in 2004 that a separate menswear collection was introduced with his first menswear runway show in Milan's menswear event. He was named GQ magazine's Designer of the Year in 2004.

In 2007, McQueen dedicated his Spring 2008 collection, La Dame Bleue, to Isabella Blow, who had died by suicide earlier that year. The show included works by his long-time collaborator Philip Treacy, another protégé of Blow. The collection had a bird theme and featured brightly coloured clothes with feathers.

McQueen produced a well-received collection, The Girl Who Lived in the Tree, for Autumn/Winter 2008. It was based on a story McQueen created about a feral girl who lived in a tree but transformed into a princess and married a prince to become a queen. He took inspiration from the queens of England and the British Raj and Empire to create a romantic and regal collection. The first half of the show focused on dark decorative dresses over petticoats, which became lighter and more lavish in the second half.

The Spring/Summer 2009 collection, Natural Dis-tinction Un-natural Selection, was inspired by Charles Darwin who was the 'creator' of the theory of natural selection, and the influence of the industrial revolution on nature. It was presented on a runway filled with taxidermied animals. The show presented structured clothes that featured prints with images of natural materials, as well as crystal-encrusted bodysuits and bell jar-shaped dresses.

In 2009, McQueen also collaborated with dancer Sylvie Guillem, director Robert Lepage and choreographer Russell Maliphant, designing the wardrobe for the theatre show "Eonnagata", which premiered at Sadler's Wells in London.

Plato's Atlantis
Alexander McQueen's last appearance on a fashion show was in Plato's Atlantis, presented during Paris Fashion Week on 6 October 2009. This Spring/Summer 2010 collection was inspired by nature and the post-human manifesto featuring 46 full looks depicted with sea creature and reptile prints. McQueen installed two large cameras on the runway, both of which moved back and forth, documenting and broadcasting the entire show live on SHOWstudio. Plato's Atlantis was the first fashion show by any designer to be streamed live over the internet, although the website streaming it crashed after Lady Gaga tweeted about the show before it started.

The show began with a video of Raquel Zimmerman lying naked on sand with snakes on her body. The fashion show and the collection addresses Charles Darwin's theory of evolution as well as current global warming issues. The fantasy collection, named after Plato's island that sank into the sea, envisaged a future where humans are forced to evolve from living on land to living in water in order to survive. The colour scheme changed during the show from green and brown (land) to blue and aqua (ocean). The models exhibited an androgynous look (which represents McQueen's evolutionary themes), as well as possessing post-human characteristics. The prints shifted from reptilian to prints of water creatures such as jellyfish and stingrays. The collection's final silhouettes gave the models marine features while the McQueen's signature armadillo shoe also transformed the appearance of the models' anatomic foot. Plato's Atlantis was yet another way in which McQueen fused fashion with technology. The finale of the show was accompanied by the debut of Lady Gaga's single "Bad Romance".

Final show
At the time of Alexander McQueen's death, he had 16 pieces for his Autumn/Winter collection that were 80% finished. These outfits were completed by his design team, and shown in seven presentations to small, specially invited groups. This collection, unofficially titled Angels and Demons, was first shown during Paris Fashion Week on 8 March 2010, to a select handful of fashion editors in a mirrored, gilded salon at the 18th-century Hôtel de Clermont-Tonnerre. Some fashion editors said the show was hard to watch because it showed how McQueen was obsessed with the afterlife.

The clothes presented had a medieval and religious look. Basic colours that were repetitively used were red, gold, and silver with detailed embroidery. The last outfit presented had a coat made of gold feathers (shown left). His models were accessorized to show his love for theatrical imagery. "Each piece is unique, as was he," McQueen's fashion house said in a statement that was released with the collection.

After company owner Gucci confirmed that the brand would continue, McQueen's long-time assistant Sarah Burton was named as the new creative director of Alexander McQueen in May 2010. In September 2010, Burton presented her first womenswear collection in Paris.

Accomplishments
Some of McQueen's accomplishments included being one of the youngest designers to achieve the title "British Designer of the Year", which he won four times between 1996 and 2003; he was also appointed a CBE and named International Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers in 2003.

McQueen has been credited with bringing drama and extravagance to the catwalk. He used new technology and innovation to add a different twist to his shows and often shocked and surprised audiences. The silhouettes that he created have been credited with adding a sense of fantasy and rebellion to fashion.

Company
December 2000 saw a new partnership for McQueen, with the Gucci Group acquiring 51% of his company and McQueen's serving as Creative Director. Plans for expansion included the opening of stores in London, Milan and New York, and the launch of his perfumes Kingdom and, most recently, My Queen. In 2005, McQueen collaborated with Puma to create a special line of trainers for the shoe brand. In 2006 he launched McQ, a younger, more renegade lower-priced line for men and women. Among his most popular design is the skull scarf first created in 2003.

By the end of 2007, Alexander McQueen had boutiques in London, New York, Los Angeles, Milan and Las Vegas. Celebrity patrons, including Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rihanna, Monica Brown and J-pop queens, such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, and Koda Kumi, have frequently been spotted wearing McQueen clothing to events. The number of McQueen stores worldwide had increased to 100 by the end of 2020, with revenues estimated to be €500m in 2020.

McQueen became one of several designers to participate in MAC's promotion of cosmetic releases created by fashion designers. The collection was released on 11 October 2007 and reflected the looks used on the Autumn/Winter McQueen catwalk created by make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury. The inspiration for the collection was the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor movie Cleopatra, and thus the models sported intense blue, green, and teal eyes with strong black liner extended Ancient Egyptian–style. McQueen handpicked the makeup.

Collections

During his career, McQueen designed 36 womenswear collections under his eponymous fashion label, including his graduate school collection and his unfinished final collection. In his earlier collections, he sometimes presented menswear or had male models walk in the shows, but his label did not have a regular menswear line until 2004.

Popular culture
McQueen created custom designs for music artists David Bowie and Björk, which were used in their album covers and tours. Lady Gaga wore several McQueen designs, including the final outfit from Plato's Atlantis, in her video for "Bad Romance".

A leather costume designed by McQueen was worn by Janet Jackson in her halftime show at Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004, which created a controversy when her breast was briefly exposed in an incident described by Justin Timberlake as a "wardrobe malfunction".

Personal life
McQueen was openly gay and said he realised his sexual orientation when he was six years old. He told his family when he was 18 and, after a rocky period, they accepted it. He described coming out at a young age by saying, "I was sure of myself and my sexuality and I've got nothing to hide. I went straight from my mother's womb onto the gay parade". Later in life, he revealed to his family that he had been sexually abused by his brother-in-law when he was young.

In 2000, McQueen had a marriage ceremony with his partner George Forsyth, a documentary filmmaker, on a yacht in Ibiza. Kate Moss and Annabelle Neilson were bridesmaids. The marriage was not official, as same-sex marriage in Spain was not legal at that time. The relationship ended a year later, with the two maintaining a close friendship.

McQueen was HIV positive.

McQueen was an avid scuba diver and used his passion as a source of inspiration in his designs, including spring 2010's "Plato's Atlantis". Much of his diving was done around the Maldives.

McQueen received press attention after the May 2007 suicide of magazine editor Isabella Blow. Rumours were published that there was a rift between McQueen and Blow at the time of her death, focusing on McQueen's under-appreciation of Blow. McQueen denied these rumours.

Death and memorial
On the morning of 11 February 2010, his housekeeper found McQueen had hanged himself at his home in Green Street, London. Paramedics were called and they pronounced him dead at the scene. He was 40 years old.

The coroner, Paul Knapman, reported finding "a significant level of cocaine, sleeping pills, and tranquillisers in the blood samples taken after the designer's death." The Westminster Coroner's Court officially recorded his death as a suicide on 28 April 2010.

David LaChapelle, a friend of the designer, said that McQueen "was doing a lot of drugs and was very unhappy" at the time of his death. McQueen's mother had died eight days before he killed himself.

McQueen's funeral took place on 25 February 2010 at St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, West London. His ashes were later scattered in Skye at Kilmuir. His Skye ancestry had been a strong influence in his life and work.

A memorial was held for McQueen at St. Paul's Cathedral on 20 September 2010. It was attended by 2,500 invited guests, including Björk, Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker, Naomi Campbell, Stella McCartney, Daphne Guinness, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lady Gaga and Anna Wintour. Björk, a close friend of McQueen's, performed a version of "Gloomy Sunday" while dressed in a gown he had designed.

A week after his death, Gucci Group announced that the Alexander McQueen business would carry on without its founder and creative director.

The BBC reported that McQueen had reserved £50,000 of his wealth for his pet dogs so they could live in luxury for the rest of their lives. He also bequeathed £100,000 each to four charities; these include the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in South London, and the Blue Cross animal welfare charity in Burford, Oxfordshire.

Legacy and tributes
On 16 February 2010, pop musician and friend Lady Gaga performed an acoustic, jazz rendition of her hit single "Telephone" and segued into "Dance in the Dark" at the 2010 Brit Awards. During the performance, Gaga paid tribute to McQueen, by dedicating a song to him. She also commemorated McQueen after accepting her award for Best International Artist, Best International Female, and Best International Album. Gaga dedicated a song to him, titled "Fashion of His Love", on the special edition of her third album, Born This Way. R&B singer Monica dedicated her 2010 music video "Everything To Me" to McQueen. Various other musicians, who were friends and collaborators with McQueen, paid tribute following his death, including Kanye West, Courtney Love, and Katy Perry.

In March 2010, celebrities including Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Annabelle Neilson paid visual tribute to McQueen by wearing his distinctive 'manta' dresses. The 'manta' dresses, inspired by a scuba-diving holiday McQueen took to the Maldives in 2009, came from McQueen's 'Plato's Atlantis' collection of Spring–Summer 2010 which was at the time available to purchase. 'Manta' dresses had been worn by celebrities such as Daphne Guinness, Noot Seear, Anna Paquin, and Lily Cole prior to his death, and following the announcement that he had died, remaining stocks sold out despite prices starting at £2,800.

In 2012, McQueen was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork—the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover—to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires. McQueen is also given homage in the popular MMO World of Warcraft. There is an NPC dedicated to Alexander McQueen that is a Tailoring Trainer named Alexandra McQueen. This trainer is also the only one on the horde side that gives a special quest Cloth Scavenging. A dress designed by McQueen featured on a commemorative UK postage stamp issued by the Royal Mail in 2012 celebrating Great British Fashion.

In 2016, a conceptual art piece made by Tina Gorjanc highlighted the possibility for corporations to copyright another human's DNA. She created a series out of pig leather tanned and tattooed to appear similar to McQueen's skin. She filed patents for her method of replicating McQueen's skin in the lab, and displayed these patents along with the leather collection. McQueen's family stated that they did not condone the use of his DNA for fashion projects but acknowledged that this project is exactly the sort of fashion experimentation he would have enjoyed.

Museum exhibitions
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City hosted a posthumous exhibition of McQueen's work in 2011 titled Savage Beauty. The exhibition's elaborate staging includes unique architectural finishes and soundtracks for each room. Despite being open for only three months, it was one of the most popular exhibitions in the museum's history. The exhibition was so successful that Alexander McQueen fans and industry professionals worldwide began rallying at Change.org to "Please Make Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty a Traveling Exhibition" to bring honour to McQueen and see his vision become a reality: to share his work with the entire world. The exhibition then appeared in London's Victoria & Albert Museum between 14 March and 2 August 2015. It sold over 480,000 tickets, making it the most popular exhibition ever staged at that museum.

A second exhibition, Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse, was staged at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Victoria in 2022. A version of this exhibition was also produced at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec in 2023 under the name Lee Alexander McQueen: l'art rencontre la mode. It juxtaposed McQueen's designs with art and objects from the museum's collection to explore how McQueen's body of work drew from diverse sources across art history.

In media
McQueen has been the subject of several books, both biographical and photographic. The first major biography was Blood Beneath the Skin (2015) by author Andrew Wilson. Gods and Kings (2015) by fashion journalist Dana Thomas discusses his life and work in conjunction with John Galliano, another controversial British designer of the 1990s.

In February 2015, on the fifth anniversary of McQueen's death, the James Phillips play McQueen premiered. The play is set over one night in London and follows a girl who breaks into the designer's home to steal a dress and is caught by McQueen. The production takes inspiration from his imaginative runway shows and was directed by John Caird. It has been described by McQueen's sister Janet as "true to his spirit". Stephen Wight and Dianna Agron played the leading roles.

In 2016, it was announced that Jack O'Connell would play McQueen in a biographical film based on Blood Beneath the Skin. English filmmaker Andrew Haigh was slated to direct. In 2017, both O'Connell and Haigh stated that they were no longer involved in the project.

On 8 June 2018, the documentary McQueen, written and directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, was released in the UK. It was described by Harper's Bazaar as "among the most accurate, sensitive, and moving. Using his collections as cornerstones, the documentary features candid interviews with colleagues, friends and even family of McQueen, who was known as Lee to the people he loved." The film was favourably reviewed, earning a score of 84 on the critical aggregator website Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim", as well as a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with a Critics Consensus reading, "McQueen offers an intimate, well-sourced, and overall moving look at a young life and brilliant career that were tragically cut short."

Talk:List of X-Men members

Consensus on Captain Krakoa
@Eijikkieru, @Higher Further Faster, @Hotwiki, @DrBat, @Gtrmp, @AlligatorSky, @Lipshiz, @Omnipaedista, @BD2412 and also @Dimadick, you have been invited here because of being top editors of some X-Men pages along with being active at Wikipedia last month; as the top contributors of this page are either retired, blocked or had simply stopped editing. The invitation is for the consensus on whether Captain Krakoa should be added alongside Cyclops or not; on the basis of recent comics of X-Men (Volume 6) and on the basis of these references which were already provided above discussions. ( and ) Sewnbegun (talk) 19:52, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Hotwiki (talk) 20:09, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I also oppose, Captain Krakoa was just a disguise for Cyclops in X-Men (vol. 6). AlligatorSky (talk) 13:48, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * That is my reasoning as well. Hotwiki (talk) 13:50, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Same reasoning as above. Eijikkieru (talk) 00:35, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * It appears we can finally close this suggestion, originally proposed by the blocked editor User:Ringardiumleviossa by not adding Captain Krakoa as a codename of Cyclops as a member of the X-Men. Hotwiki (talk) 07:11, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, we should close this discussion since the consensus is very clear against it. Sewnbegun (talk) 07:27, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, may I add, you changed certain words to "this team", thats not encyclopedic and not very formal way of writing. Don't also remove the current description to Lucid, especially that character has no Wikipedia article to check/read. So a more substantial description for Lucid, instead of just a "honorable mention" would be better. You keep changing a dozen of things here that aren't very helpful, and it is really reminiscent of the blocked User:Ringardiumleviossa. Can an administrator, please check if User:Ringardiumleviossa and User:Sewnbegun are the same editor? I don't really know how to file a report on Sockpuppet investigation, a help would be appreciated in this situation. Hotwiki (talk) 12:31, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Also for those names, you don't need to add a reference to every single name in this article, especially if those names weren't being challenged or questioned in the first place. A reference for each character joining the X-Men, specifically a reference to the comic-book issue in which they joined as a member is enough. Hotwiki (talk) 12:40, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Hotwiki, firstly, you reverted Ringardiumleviossa's edits when they made changes in this page on the basis of as per Wikipedia page - . And now let me repeat your word when you reverted my edits - (Again, you don't really need to add a reference to every single name, especially those who have a Wikipedia article. This is a list of X-Men members. Not list of names of X-Men characters.). Secondly, I also noticed you only choose only certain names from Ringardiumleviossa's proposal and till this date you keep reverting any changes in name section (if they are different from your original edit) until they are referenced. And now here you say these names don't need to be referenced? I still don't get the meaning of both of above mentioned situation. You even reverted my all edits not even thinking that some of the names were being challenged and changed by providing reliable sources. I think you are very good editor on the Wikipedia and very busy one but at least watch/read the changes in the edits and not just peak over it so that you know that not all changes/edits are invalid and then make appropriate edits instead of reverting it all. I understand your point that not all names need references and it is the page of list of X-men members (and not of names), but if I had made any unreferenced edit, it would have been reverted back. If I have to change certain names which are misinformed in this article, I will have to provide references. I am not going to add the sources to every name this time, just only those which are misinformed or incomplete here. Thank you! Sewnbegun (talk) 18:21, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Based from your edits, you seemed to accomplish what User:Ringardiumleviossa what wanted to do in the article. Your account was created, the day after User:Ringardiumleviossa was blocked in Wikipedia. When it comes to wanting to mention "Captain Krakoa" in this article, you both share the same opinion. Both of your sandbox are suspiciously the same. Based from talk page activity of this article, aside from me, you are heavily active discussing changes just like the blocked editor. Like the blocked editor you are constantly making "drastic" changes into this article, and doesn't seem to be editing plenty of other articles aside from this one. since I noticed you, in the talk page of Ringardiumleviossa, can I ask if you could help me about a sockpuppet investigation, if  is connected to Ringardiumleviossa. Their editing pattern is suspiciously very similar. Hotwiki (talk) 19:03, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Hotwiki I didn't have the same opinion in the Captain Krakoa as Ringardiumleviossa. Read above talks again and you know I never said I wanted Captain Krakoa codename to be added because in fact I wanted to go with consensus instead. That is why I added Consensus on Captain Krakoa talk and also because you keep reverting my edits and I was angry because of this talk . @CoffeeCrumbs understand what is happening by reading exact above reply and the discussion here, because Hotwiki is always controlling this page. Reverting unreferenced change? I get that, but why revert whole and every edits without checking that there could be some valid information there. Also, I am not accomplishing Ringardiuleviossa's proposal, all I am doing is just editing on the basis of reliable sources. So you can't remove those without discussing first. I do edit this page primarily from few days because I am also editing the same articles in various websites (including Marvel Database/Wiki) and if you see my edit history, I have also edited some different Wikipedia pages too. And again I am telling, you are welcome to sock puppet investigation on me. Sewnbegun (talk) 19:45, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I will oppose because of the same reasoning as above. Teedbunny (talk) 13:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * This discussion needs to be closed. Teedbunny (talk) 13:10, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Consensus of ForgetMeNot and Woofer (again).
Hello to everyone - @BD2412, @Dimadick, @Eijikkieru, @Higher Further Faster, @Hotwiki, @DrBat, @Gtrmp, @AlligatorSky, @Lipshiz, @Omnipaedista and @Sewnbegun. You all are invited from previous consensus. Last year in this discusssion, there weren't any reliable source back then and it was decided that we should wait for few more comics to add him in the main list of X-Men. So I have also invited @Storm1221, @ToshiroIto7 to see if they still maintain their opinion from previous talks. The first thing I would like to talk about is ForgetMeNot's position in this page, he is added in Other status section, even though he is official member of X-Men according to handbooks (also sources). He is neither an infiltrator nor an honorary member so how come he have any other status instead of official member. If it is about his power of being forgotten, we can add a note as well as notelist section to mention his powers. We should move him to the main list. Secondly, even if Woofer is not added to the main list, he is still currently eligible to be added as honorary member of X-Men. Let me explain why. Lucid was made member by then X-Man Storm -. Woofer was made member by now X-Man Shadowkat in X-Men, vol. 6 #25 -. As per previous talk, we waited and again he was implied to be an X-Man in Fall of the House of X #3 -. It's not like we don't have any references, we have a reliable secondary source (because it was already asked for in previous talks in this page) - We should also know that definition of X-Men members is gray and that's why many editors on this page have sticked to different handbooks of Marvel Comics but till the new handbook, we should include Woofer as honorary member. Hoping for response/feedback on consensus of both ForgetMeNot and Woofer in some days. 2409:40C1:1006:ACEB:CEC:BAB6:F1A4:A58B (talk) 10:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Not this again with Woofer. How about we wait for an official handbook from Marvel Comics rather than jumping to conclusion once again. This was already discussed before. Hotwiki (talk) 12:19, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * As for ForgetMeNot, I also disagree. He's in other status for a reason. He was retconned as a long time member, yet his actual membership date isn't very clear. Hotwiki (talk) 12:22, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Also may I add, Woofer's appearance in Fall of the House of X doesn't change anything. He's still not ever seen with the current X-Men team. Hotwiki (talk) 12:28, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * We didn't waited for handbook during Synch, Prodigy, Rasputin IV and Ms. Marvel's inclusion. In fact Rasputin IV don't even have a reliable source. Sewnbegun (talk) 14:32, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * We didn't wait for the handbook because it was CLEAR they are part of the current team, unless you are questioning the membership of those four members. Woofer is a different case especially there are different opinions in this talk page, if he is a member of the X-Men. I stand by my opinion. Keep Woofer out of the list and keep ForgetMeNot in other status section. Hotwiki (talk) 21:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Hotwiki No, I am also against with Woofer added in team too. But I also agree with that if Woofer is seen with X-Men, we have to add him atleast as honorary member. I don't he qualifies as official X-Men unless it is proven in future handbook. Sewnbegun (talk) 04:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Again what is presented in X-Men #25 and Fall of the House of X #3 are similar. Woofer is STILL not seen with the current X-Men team. If a handbook from Marvel Comics mentions him as a member, then add him. But until that doesn't happen, keep him out of the list. Hotwiki (talk) 04:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No, if he is seen clearly with X-Men and is called an X-Men before. It clears everything. He needs to be mentioned as X-Men. We can always remove him if handbooks is not mentioning him. Just like you did two year before when you remove many members from this page when X of Swords (which is right by the way). Sewnbegun (talk) 04:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * You are assuming he will be seen with the X-Men which we can't say for certain will happen. Me mentioning an updated handbook doesn't automatically mean, "handbooks" are only the source of information in this article. This article didn't need a handbook reference, for those who were/are clearly members of the X-Men fyi. Hotwiki (talk) 04:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I am not into adding him RIGHT NOW, only IF he is seen alongside X-Men. also yes, handbooks aren't the only source of this article - he already does have a source. I am also against him in adding in the main team but we have to at least add him as honorary member because he is called an X-Man. We should wait and see what the future comics hold. Sewnbegun (talk) 04:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No, I am not questioning the other members but I was pointing out that Rasputin IV don't have a reliable source while Woofer have. It was clear to add them because they were seen alongside X-Men and were declared X-Men and so that should shall be the case with Woofer he is seen alongside X-Men. Sewnbegun (talk) 04:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't why you are suddenly making this about Rasputin IV. If you read the comics, you will see that she is with the current X-Men since X-Men #25 (2023) with other members such as Shadowkat, Talon, Synch and Kamala Khan. If your problem is lack of reliable source for Rasputin IV, you can surely find a better reference or comic book scans. Hotwiki (talk) 04:22, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I was making another point which you got to to read again in my previous reply to avoid misunderstanding. I am not suddenly making this about Rasputin IV. If I was challenging her membership, I would have simply had her removed on the basis of unreferenced. Sewnbegun (talk) 04:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * So is this you ? The only edit of that Ip user is oddly similar to your edit when you asked for the consensus for Captain Krakoa. Hotwiki (talk) 04:52, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No, I haven't done those edits. Sewnbegun (talk) 05:01, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you realize how similar your edits are to these Ip users who have only edited this 1 article in Wikipedia? You haven't been cleared by an administrator for not being connected User:Ringardiumleviossa. Thats why I remain suspicious of your editing. Then these Ip users, suddenly doing massive edits in the article (in a short period of time) doing drastic changes that somehow align to your edits, and also doing talk page consensus? I've seen a couple of sockpuppet investigations in my almost 20 years stay in Wikipedia, and this is usually how sockpuppetry is caught. Either jumping through another Ip or switching to a different account, to manipulate the outcome of the article. Hotwiki (talk) 05:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I can tell you that I have nothing to do with those edits, I think that blocked user is doing this from different IP. I don't align with, it is just I don't revert every edits and let them be which are correct, referenced and many time, I also check if the edits are done are correct or not before reverting back or making any change. Sewnbegun (talk) 05:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh now you think this is the blocked editor Ringardiumleviossa editing in different IP users. The blocked editor that has the same editing patterns as you, from my observation. And somehow you seem to agree on every change from these "suspicious" IP users? Okay. Hotwiki (talk) 05:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't always agree if see the talks in this page clearly instead of proving that I am that blocked editor. And again I don't revert everything, I checked them and if they are right, referenced or on majority consensus. Sewnbegun (talk) 05:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree with you about the change of ForgetMeNot, only because of the point that he is official member and not a member of different status. Although I differ in opinion that Woofer should be added, for now atleast. It was decided in the previous talk to wait for atleast his three appearances which is not completed yet. If in future issues of current X-Men headling comics (X-Men, vol. 6 or Fall of the House of X), he appears alongside X-Men we can add him as honorary member. If you insist to add him in main list, we will have to wait for next handbook. Sewnbegun (talk) 14:27, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * ForgetMeNot has been more of a covert operative, who has had minimal interactions with his teammates. There are not many sources on Woofer, since he is a brand new character. According to the Marvel Database wiki, he has a total of 4 appearances since his debut in May, 2023. Dimadick (talk) 16:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

 * It is my opinion that both ForgetMeNot and Woofer should be included in the Honorary Section. I'm not going to explain why because ultimately this page does not follow consensus and it'd be a complete waste of time.Storm1221 (talk) 17:28, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree with ForgetMeNot's proposal but disagree with Woofer's. Teedbunny (talk) 13:11, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Woofer (and arguments here) was mentioned in the AIPT's X-Men Monday #252. Jordan said it's fine to consider him an honorary member. Eijikkieru (talk) 05:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * AIPT isn't a reliable site.Hotwiki (talk) 10:11, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I know. I'm not joining the consensus on this subject, I'm just stating what the X-Men editor said in the interview. Eijikkieru (talk) 05:35, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Drastically changing the order of the members
I noticed an Ip user have made their first edit in this article, drastically changing the order of the members and also changing the opening lead like as if there was anything wrong. Then when I reverted it,, reverted it to that edit of the Ip User. From last month, it just seems quite suspicious "drastic" changes have been happening from IP users in the article. These IP users who haven't edited in the past and making their 1st edit in this article. And those edits usually lined up / are always in favor with. Hotwiki (talk) 22:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Also in the same day, another Ip user made their FIRST edit in this talk page. It IS their only edit in Wikipedia as of now. And once again agreed to that Ip user. I'm really suspicious if these Ip users and Sewnbegun are just one person and Sewnbegun is jumping through different ips and making these drastic changes to the article. I'm also still suspicious about  related to the blocked editor User:Ringardiumleviossa, that editor was blocked for sockpuppetry and I have made a list in this talkpage of why I think Sewnbegun/the blocked editor Ringardiumleviossa, are the same person in the past here I just haven't reported it to the administrators yet, because there's a long wait list in Sockpuppet Investigation and I haven't properly reported anyone yet for sockpuppet investigation.
 * Hotwiki (talk) 22:28, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I honestly want to hear the opinion from other editors aside from Sewnbegun about this. I think you might be aware of most of the discussion in the last several weeks. The editing of Sewnbegun/Ringardiumleviossa are quite similar. Also in the past, I haven't any encountered IP users making/proposing BIG changes to this article, especially for their FIRST edit in Wikipedia, until Ringardiumleviossa was blocked and Sewnbegun started editing this article. Very suspicious. This talkpage proposal alone couldn't come from someone who isn't invested about this article in the past. Hotwiki (talk) 22:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * From March 2024. These are the Ip users that made their first EDIT in Wikipedia through this article:Hotwiki (talk) 23:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Then these are the IP users that made their 1st edit in Wikipedia through the talkpage of this article, in March 2024:Hotwiki (talk) 23:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Hotwiki, I have this article on my watchlist and probably so do you, and unlike others I read what edits are done before reverting. Why removed the chronological order of Time displaced X-Men and Genoshan assult team? They are legit because when the edits were made by the IP addresses, I read those comics to confirm which I am still doing currently. Sewnbegun (talk) 05:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * All Genoshan Assault X-Men members joined in the same issue. All 5 time displaced original X-Men member also joined in the same issue. So changing of the order is not really needed. Hotwiki (talk) 05:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes it is true @Hotwiki but let me explain, time displaced X-Men are the same X-Men of Earth-616 (just displaced in time and finally send back) so they had joined that in same order as original members because they themselves are original members - Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Angel, Marvel Girl.
 * No let's talk about Genoshan assault team. Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Banshee, Storm, Sunfire, Colossus, Thunderbird on this article had joined in the same issue but are listed in the chronological order of when Professor X recruited them (like he recruited Nightcrawler first and Thunderbird last). When I read Uncanny X-Men #392 yesterday, it was clear that Jean Grey had recruited the members in the order of Frenzy, Northstar, Wraith, Omerta, Sunpyre and lastly Dazzler.
 * I checked it and actually read those edits before reverting or making any changes. Sewnbegun (talk) 05:22, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I disagree, its not necessary. The order has been like this for years and no one had an issue about it. The only TWO that want to change is you and this IP user. Hotwiki (talk) 05:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Why do you control this page so much, it is not like wat you decide/agree will happen in this article? Again I might clear, I checked and re-read those comics If the order is been in years that doesn't mean it can't be changed if the necessity arrives or they are evident. Sewnbegun (talk) 05:33, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is a collaborative site. If an editor sees they have a good reason to revert something, they are allowed to do that. Hotwiki (talk) 05:37, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, Wikipedia is collaborative site and yet you revert everything (not something) without watching. What about the reason of being what is right/evident? What about the reason of being organisation. Anyways, if you also see the handbooks of the order of same character joining in same comics in the handbooks, they are alphabetical except those whose chronological joining order is clear. It is another evidence., and . Let me about this issue in teahouse to other experience editors. Sewnbegun (talk) 05:43, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't revert everything. One of those links shows your edit, which I didn't revert. Hotwiki (talk) 05:46, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Because you have no solid reason to revert them anyway. You reverted many names, so I had to add references to prove it. Sewnbegun (talk) 05:50, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I simply reverted back the order which was already in the article for years in the first place. You claimed I revert everything in this article, and I just gave you 3 edits from this month, from 3 different editors that I didn't revert. One of those 3 is you. Hotwiki (talk) 05:53, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Anyways, according to Manual of Style/Comics, one of the list format is chronological order (which this page is) but what about those whose chronological order is not clear, there is also another format mentioned which is alphabetical order. Sewnbegun (talk) 06:00, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Again, I already disagreed with your proposed changes. Wait for others to comment about this. Hotwiki (talk) 06:01, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah maybe you just reverted back the order which was already in year but when it need to be change because of proven points, you still did not agreed. Wikipedia is collaborative site. It is not I am doing any fancruft here. I presented it with points. Sewnbegun (talk) 05:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah I didn't agree and you were also told by me to discuss this in the talk page. So other editors can have their own say. I said my case, and wait for other editors to futher comment on this. Hotwiki (talk) 05:58, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * So on the basis of handbook orders; some similarities (in order) of the main team and sub-team; chronological joining order; and Manual of Style/Comics formats, I am going to make some correction for the sake of organisation. Sewnbegun (talk) 06:03, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Again, wait for a consensus. You do know you are edit warring, by making a change that someone already disagreed with. This is why Talk pages exist, to prevent edit wars. So don't revert in the article, and wait for a consensus. Hotwiki (talk) 06:06, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I am only editing because of all the evidence/points I laid out. I will wait for 1-2 days for the sake of consensus but I have to make those changes because not many editor participate actively in this talk page. Sewnbegun (talk) 06:09, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thats not how consensus work. If there aren't more editors that agree with your proposed changes. You can't be restoring something which someone already disagreed with. Hotwiki (talk) 06:12, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Lets invite some those who have participated last day on previous talk. @Dimadick, @Storm1221, can you read this topic please and give your feedbacks? Sewnbegun (talk) 06:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll also ask about this issue in Teahouse too. Sewnbegun (talk) 06:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I am sorry if you feel that way @Hotwiki, you can say anything but maybe you should see this points; and regarding other editors, we both know not many editors are constantly active in this page except you, me and probably that blocked user using different IP. Sewnbegun (talk) 06:06, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * That blocked editor which is NOT clear if you aren't connected to that blocked editor. I think we have exhausted this topic in this talk.page. I'll just make a sockpuppet investigation petiti9n this week, so administrators can finally review your account/edits. These numerous IP users will be mentioned as well. Hotwiki (talk) 06:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Sure, you can do that investigation. Sewnbegun (talk) 06:13, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Hotwiki, according to Consensus, we can opt for third party opinion, which is here related to this issue. Sewnbegun (talk) 04:54, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * There's still no consensus in this talkpage, so I don't know why you are reverting it again. I already told you to wait for more editors to share their thoughts. Also the opening paragraph is fine as it is. Hotwiki (talk) 06:28, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I had invite two more editors (for third party opinion) who are lastly active in this talk page, because there is no more than two editors active currently includiny you and me. They are still active on Wikipedia but chose not engage so I sought third party opinion in Teahouse, which is totally okay if you read Consensus. So I made the edit on the basis of that. I am again open to wait for a weak but we don't have to ignore that teahouse opinion, won't we? Anyway I am going to request a comment too. Sewnbegun (talk) 06:35, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If you can see in this talkpage, there IS one ACTIVE member that is in total disagreement with this change and suggested to wait for more editors to share their thoughts. What you are doing by reverting to the version of the "IP user" which you think is from the blocked editor User:Ringardiumleviossa by the way, is disruptive editing. Hotwiki (talk) 06:45, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not reverting to the version of the "IP user". See clearly please. I only made the revert on the basis of order patterns already in some sections of this afticle (order patterns now I think need correction, even if it has been in here for years). To less degree also on the basis of handbooks. On the basis of list formats that are clearly listed on Manual of Style (Comics) (which clearly don't need consensus but I am going to wait). And lastly on the basis of the answer I got from teahouse. Sewnbegun (talk) 06:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Again, you were told to wait for consensus and for other editors to make a comment in this talkpage and you didn't, and went ahead by reverting again. This discussion in the talkpage was started by me, to prevent edit warring and for other editors to share their thoughts. You shouldn't revert to a contested version of the article, just because you couldn't wait for more editors to chime in. It hasn't been that long as well. Hotwiki (talk) 07:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * This page is very stable and if are to focus on presentation, there is already sortable order in this page, chronological order and alphabetical order will be great from the view of both presentation and logic. Teedbunny (talk) 13:28, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Character's linking
Link the X-Men member Trinary in 2010s section with Trinary (comics). Vinbrad (talk) 07:40, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks for noticing the missing link. Keep up the good work. Dimadick (talk) 14:24, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Don Maynard

Donald Rogers Maynard (January 25, 1935 – January 10, 2022) was an American professional football player who was a wide receiver known for playing for the New York Jets in the National Football League (NFL). He also played with the New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals; and the Shreveport Steamer of the World Football League (WFL).

Maynard was a four-time AFL All-Star and played for the Super Bowl III champions. The Jets retired Maynard's No. 13 in his honor. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and included on the AFL All-Time Team.

Nicknamed "Country", the quick and sure-handed Maynard was perhaps the most productive receiver of his day, setting career records for total receiving yards as well as yards per reception.

Early life
Maynard grew up in Texas. His father was a cotton broker, and with the family constantly moving, Maynard attended 13 schools, including five high schools. As a senior at Colorado City High School in Colorado City, Texas, he lettered in football, basketball, and track.

College career
Maynard played collegiately for Rice University (one year), then for Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso). In three seasons (1954–56) with the Miners, he caught only 28 passes but averaged 27.6 yards per reception and recorded 10 touchdowns. As a running back, he had 843 yards rushing on 154 attempts for a 5.4 average and also returned punts and kickoffs. He amassed 2,283 all-purpose yards, while also intercepting 10 passes playing defensive back.

Professional career
The New York Giants selected Maynard in the ninth round, with the 109th overall selection, of the 1957 NFL draft. In 12 games as a rookie, he had 12 rushes for 45 yards (3.8 yards per carry), caught five passes for 84 yards (a 16.8 yard average), and played on special teams. After being released by the Giants during their 1959 training camp, he played one game in the Canadian Football League with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, catching just one pass for 10 yards. In the off-season, he worked as a plumber and a teacher.

Maynard became the first player to sign with the New York Titans in 1960 (the team was renamed the Jets in 1963). This came about because the Titans' first head coach, Sammy Baugh, had coached against Maynard in college and knew his talent. Although scorned by the New York press as an "NFL reject" in 1960, he teamed with Art Powell to form the first professional wide receiver tandem to each gain over 1,000 yards on receptions in a season, with the pair achieving this milestone again in 1962. Over the next 13 years Maynard put up receiving numbers that would earn him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987.

Collecting 72 pass receptions in his first year as a Titan, he went on to compile four more seasons with 50 or more catches and 1,000 yards receiving, and held the professional football record for total receptions and yards receiving. A four-time AFL All-Star, he is sixth in all-time pro football touchdown receptions, and is a member of the AFL All-Time Team.

In 1965, Maynard was teamed with rookie quarterback Joe Namath. Maynard had 1,218 yards on 68 receptions and 14 touchdowns in Namath's first season (Namath had 22 touchdown passes that year). In 1967, Maynard caught 1,434 of Namath's historic 4,007 passing yards. The receiving yards were a career-high for Maynard and led the league; he also had 71 receptions, 10 touchdowns, and averaged 20.2 yards per catch. In the 1968 season opener against Kansas City, Maynard had 200+ receiving yards for the first time in his career and passed Tommy McDonald as the active leader in receiving yards, where he remained for the next six seasons until his retirement. He added a career-best 228 yards in Game 10 against the Oakland Raiders. Maynard had 57 receptions for 1,297 yards (22.8 yards per catch) and 10 of Namath's 15 touchdowns that year. In the 1968 AFL Championship Game, a 27–23 Jets victory over the Oakland Raiders, Maynard caught six passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns. His 14-yard catch in the first quarter gave the Jets the lead and his six-yard catch in the fourth quarter proved to be the game winner. The Jets won Super Bowl III, 16–7 over the NFL's Baltimore Colts, which was hailed as the first "upset" in Super Bowl history. Maynard played, but had no catches while suffering the effects of a hamstring injury in the AFL title game.

Maynard played four more seasons with the Jets after Super Bowl III including being named first-team all-Pro in 1969. But long-simmering tensions between him and Jets’ Coach Weeb Ewbank boiled over in 1973. He reported late to Jets' camp that summer and, six weeks later on September 10, Ewbank unceremoniously traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals for a future draft pick. He appeared in the Redbirds’ first two games for rookie head coach Don Coryell and caught one pass for 18 yards but didn’t play in the club’s next two contests and was released October 10. Two months later, on December 12, Maynard signed as a free agent with the playoff-bound Los Angeles Rams. The Rams were coached by Chuck Knox, who’d mentored the New York Jets' offensive line during four of Maynard's prime seasons in Gotham – 1963-'66. The Rams, however, didn't activate Maynard for their final game of that regular season nor their 27-16 divisional playoff loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Texas Stadium two days before Christmas.

His NFL playing career at an apparent end, the 39-year-old Maynard caught on with the Houston Texans / Shreveport Steamer of the embryonic World Football League the next summer. But he had just five receptions for the club, which was forced to abruptly move from Houston in September 1974 when Texans' owner R. Steven Arnold unloaded the financially floundering franchise on a group of investors from Shreveport, Louisiana. Maynard retired as an active player after that tumultuous season but was hired by the newly christened Steamer as their receivers' coach. Maynard remained in that role until the organization – and league – folded for good in October 1975.

As a player, Maynard did not wear a chin strap on his helmet, instead using special cheek inserts that held the helmet tightly in place.

One of only 20 players who were in the AFL for its entire 10-year existence, Maynard was also one of only seven players who played their entire AFL careers with one team. Maynard finished his career with 633 receptions for 11,834 yards and 88 touchdowns. His 18.7 yards per catch is the highest for anyone with at least 600 receptions. Maynard was the first receiver to reach 10,000 yards and retired as pro football's all-time leader in receptions and yards receiving. Charley Taylor passed him in career receptions in 1975, while Maynard's yardage mark stood until 1986, when Charlie Joiner surpassed him.

Post-NFL career
Following his NFL career, Maynard went on to participate in many charity-sponsored events. He also participated in the coin toss in Super Bowl XXXIII along with his former teammates, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the 1958 NFL Championship, which is also known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played". He was also once named the grand marshal in the annual El Paso Sun Bowl Thanksgiving Parade. He worked as a math and industrial arts teacher, sold a variety of products, and was a financial planner.

Later in his life, Maynard lived in both El Paso and in Ruidoso, New Mexico to be close to his son and daughter and two grandchildren. His son was also a coach in the Canadian Football League with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1990.

Maynard and his wife Marilyn (Weaver), whom he met when she was a student at Texas Western, were married in December 1955 after his junior season. She predeceased him. Maynard died from complications of dementia, among other ailments, at a care facility in Ruidoso on January 10, 2022, at the age of 86.

Louis Maimbourg

Louis Maimbourg (Ludovicus Mamburgus; January 10, 1610, Nancy – August 13, 1686, Paris) was a French Jesuit and historian.

Biography
Born at Nancy, Maimbourg entered the Society of Jesus at the age of sixteen, and after studying at Rome became a classical master in the Jesuit college at Rouen. He afterwards devoted himself to preaching, but with only moderate success. After having taken some part in minor controversies he threw himself with energy into the dispute which had arisen as to the Gallican liberties; for his Traité historique de l'établissement et des prérogatives de l'Eglise de Rome et de ses évêques (1682) he was by command of Innocent XI expelled from the Society, but rewarded by Louis XIV with a residence at the abbey of St Victor, Paris, and a pension.

Works
His numerous works include histories of Arianism, the iconoclast controversy, the Great Schism of 1054, Lutheranism, Anglicanism, Calvinism, and of the pontificates of Leo I and Gregory I. These works are compilations, written in a very lively and attractive style, but noted for their inaccuracies.   His work on the Crusades, Histoire des Croisades pour la délivrance de la Terre Sainte (1675), was a populist and royalist history of the Crusades from 1195 to 1220, and is regarded as the first use of the term "crusade". It was translated into English in 1684 by historian John Nalson. His Histoire du calvinisme (1682) agitated French Catholics against French Protestants, provoking a ferocious response from Pierre Jurieu (1683) and a calm demolition of his historical method by Pierre Bayle in his Critique général de l’histoire du calvinisme de Maimbourg (1682).

Sixth form student from England with a particular interest in civil rights law (see my pages on NAACP_v._Alabama, Bolling v. Sharpe, more coming soon). I hope to go to either Oxford University to study PPE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics) and then to law school, preferrably University of California, Berkeley given the university's prominent role in the free speech movement of the 1960s, their excellent J.D. concentration in social justice and, well, because Earl Warren went there.
