Johannes Crellius

Johannes Crellius (Polish: Jan Crell, English: John Crell; 26 July 1590 in Hellmitzheim – 11 June 1633 in Raków) was a Polish and German theologian.

Life
Johann Crell's father, Johann Crell Sr., was pastor of the church at Hellmitzheim, (today part of Iphofen in Kitzingen District), in Franken, northern Bavaria. His son Krzysztof Crell-Spinowski (1622–1680), and his grandsons Christopher Crell Jr. M.D. of London (1658-), Samuel Crellius (1660–1747) and Paweł Crell-Spinowski (1677-), as well as his great-grandsons in Georgia, United States, were all proponents of Socinian views.

Crellius moved to Poland at the age of 22, and quickly became known as one of the chief theologians of the Socinians, also known as Polish brethren. From 1613 he worked at the Racovian Academy at Raków, of which he was the rector from 1616 to 1621. In 1630 he worked with Joachim Stegmann Sr. in the production of a German version of the Racovian New Testament.

Influence
Several of Crell's works were printed first by Rodecki and Sternacki at the printery of the Racovian Academy 1602-1638. These and others then appeared as Vol.III-V of Frans Kuyper's Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum quos Unitarios vocant ("Library of the Polish Brethren called Unitarians") Amsterdam 1668 Crell also featured in Christopher Sand's bibliography and biographical collection Bibliotheca antitrinitariorum (1684). These works were widely distributed being owned by Voltaire, John Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers.

Two of Crell's works were translated into English. First, A Learned and Exceeding Well-Compiled Vindication of Liberty of Religion (London: 1646). Second, The Two Books ... Touching on God the Father: Wherein Many Things Also Concerning the Nature of the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit are Discoursed of. The first edition was published in Konigsburg (1665). A second edition was published in London (1691). It was re-titled The Unity of God Answered and Defended, but with the exception of the title page it was identical to the first edition. Knowledge of Crell's works passed out of the later generations of English Unitarians. However Thomas Belsham is one of the Unitarian authors who had access to Crell in the Latin and he repeatedly cites Crell in his The Epistles of Paul the Apostle Translated, with an Exposition, and Notes (1822).

28978 Ixion

28978 Ixion (, provisional designation ) is a large trans-Neptunian object and a possible dwarf planet. It is located in the Kuiper belt, a region of icy objects orbiting beyond Neptune in the outer Solar System. Ixion is classified as a plutino, a dynamical class of objects in a 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune. It was discovered in May 2001 by astronomers of the Deep Ecliptic Survey at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, and was announced in July 2001. The object is named after the Greek mythological figure Ixion, who was a king of the Lapiths.

In visible light, Ixion appears dark and moderately red in color due to organic compounds covering its surface. Water ice has been suspected to be present on Ixion's surface, but may exist in trace amounts hidden underneath a thick layer of organic compounds. Ixion has a measured diameter of 710 km, making it the fourth-largest known plutino. Several astronomers have considered Ixion to be a possible dwarf planet, whereas others consider it a transitional object between irregularly-shaped small Solar System bodies and spherical dwarf planets. Ixion is currently not known to have a natural satellite, so its mass and density remain unknown.

Discovery
Ixion was discovered on 22 May 2001 by a team of American astronomers at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The discovery formed part of the Deep Ecliptic Survey, a survey conducted by American astronomer Robert Millis to search for Kuiper belt objects located near the ecliptic plane using telescopes at the facilities of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory. On the night of 22 May 2001, American astronomers James Elliot and Lawrence Wasserman identified Ixion in digital images of the southern sky taken with the 4-meter Víctor M. Blanco Telescope at Cerro Tololo. Ixion was first noted by Elliot while compiling two images taken approximately two hours apart, which revealed Ixion's slow motion relative to the background stars. At the time of discovery, Ixion was located in the constellation of Scorpius.

The discoverers of Ixion noted that it appeared relatively bright for a distant object, implying that it might be rather large for a TNO. The discovery supported suggestions that there were undiscovered large trans-Neptunian objects comparable in size to Pluto. Since Ixion's discovery, numerous large trans-Neptunian objects, notably the dwarf planets Haumea,, and Makemake, have been discovered; in particular, Eris is almost the same size as Pluto.

The discovery of Ixion was formally announced by the Minor Planet Center in a Minor Planet Electronic Circular on 1 July 2001. It was given the provisional designation, indicating that it was discovered in the second half of May 2001. Ixion was the 1,923rd object discovered in the latter half of May, as indicated by the last letter and numbers in its provisional designation.

At the time of discovery, Ixion was thought to be among the largest trans-Neptunian objects in the Solar System, as implied by its high intrinsic brightness. These characteristics of Ixion prompted follow-up observations in order to ascertain its orbit, which would in turn improve the certainty of later size estimates of Ixion. In August 2001, a team of astronomers used the European Southern Observatory's Astrovirtel virtual observatory to automatically scan through archival precovery photographs obtained from various observatories. The team obtained nine precovery images of Ixion, with the earliest taken by the Siding Spring Observatory on 17 July 1982. These precovery images along with subsequent follow-up observations with the La Silla Observatory's 2.2-meter MPG/ESO telescope in 2001 extended Ixion's observation arc by over 18 years, sufficient for its orbit to be accurately determined and eligible for numbering by the Minor Planet Center. Ixion was given the permanent minor planet number 28978 on 2 September 2001.

Name
This minor planet is named after the Greek mythological figure Ixion, in accordance with the International Astronomical Union's (IAU's) naming convention which requires plutinos (objects in a 3:2 orbital resonance with Neptune) to be named after mythological figures associated with the underworld. In Greek mythology, Ixion was the king of the legendary Lapiths of Thessaly and had married Dia, a daughter of Deioneus (or Eioneus), whom Ixion promised to give valuable bridal gifts. Ixion invited Deioneus to a banquet but instead pushed him into a pitfall of burning coals and wood, killing Deioneus. Although the lesser gods despised his actions, Zeus pitied Ixion and invited him to a banquet with other gods. Rather than being grateful, Ixion became lustful towards Zeus's wife, Hera. Zeus found out about his intentions and created the cloud Nephele in the shape of Hera, and tricked Ixion into coupling with it, fathering the race of Centaurs. For his crimes, Ixion was expelled from Olympus, blasted with a thunderbolt, and bound to a burning solar wheel in the underworld for all eternity.

The name for Ixion was suggested by E. K. Elliot, who was also involved in the naming of Kuiper belt object 38083 Rhadamanthus. The naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 28 March 2002.

The usage of planetary symbols is discouraged in astronomy, so Ixion never received a symbol in the astronomical literature. There is no standard symbol for Ixion used by astrologers either. Sandy Turnbull proposed a symbol for Ixion, which includes the initials I and X as well as depicts the solar wheel that Ixion was bound to in Tartarus. Denis Moskowitz, a software engineer in Massachusetts who designed the symbols for most of the dwarf planets, substitutes the Greek letter iota (Ι) and xi (Ξ) for I and X, creating a variant. These symbols are occasionally mentioned on astrological websites, but are not used broadly.

Orbit and rotation
Ixion is classified as a plutino, a large population of resonant trans-Neptunian objects in a 2:3 mean-motion orbital resonance with Neptune. Thus, Ixion completes two orbits around the Sun for every three orbits that Neptune takes. At the time of Ixion's discovery, it was initially thought to be in a 3:4 orbital resonance with Neptune, which would have made Ixion closer to the Sun. Ixion orbits the Sun at an average distance of 39.8 AU, taking 251 years to complete a full orbit. This is characteristic of all plutinos, which have orbital periods around 250 years and semi-major axes around 39 AU.

Like Pluto, Ixion's orbit is elongated and inclined to the ecliptic. Ixion has an orbital eccentricity of 0.24 and an orbital inclination of 19.6 degrees, slightly greater than Pluto's inclination of 17 degrees. Over the course of its orbit, Ixion's distance from the Sun varies from 30.1 AU at perihelion (closest distance) to 39.8 AU at aphelion (farthest distance). Although Ixion's orbit is similar to that of Pluto, their orbits are oriented differently: Ixion's perihelion is below the ecliptic whereas Pluto's is above it (see right image). , Ixion is approximately 39 AU from the Sun and is currently moving closer, approaching perihelion by 2070. Simulations by the Deep Ecliptic Survey show that Ixion can acquire a perihelion distance (qmin) as small as 27.5 AU over the next 10 million years.

The rotation period of Ixion is uncertain; various photometric measurements suggest that it displays very little variation in brightness, with a small light curve amplitude of less than 0.15 magnitudes. Initial attempts to determine Ixion's rotation period were conducted by astronomer Ortiz and colleagues in 2001 but yielded inconclusive results. Although their short-term photometric data was insufficient for Ixion's rotation period to be determined based on its brightness variations, they were able to constrain Ixion's light curve amplitude below 0.15 magnitudes. Astronomers Sheppard and Jewitt obtained similarly inconclusive results in 2003 and provided an amplitude constraint less than 0.05 magnitudes, considerably less than Ortiz's amplitude constraint. In 2010, astronomers Rousselot and Petit observed Ixion with the European Southern Observatory's New Technology Telescope and determined Ixion's rotation period to be $756.9 km$ hours, with a light curve amplitude around 0.06 magnitudes. Galiazzo and colleagues obtained a shorter rotation period of $709.6 km$ hours in 2016, though they calculated that there is a 1.2% probability that their result may be erroneous.

Size and brightness
Ixion has a measured diameter of 710 km, with an optical absolute magnitude of 3.77 and a geometric albedo (reflectivity) of 0.11. Compared to Pluto and its moon Charon, Ixion is less than one-third the diameter of Pluto and three-fifths the diameter of Charon. Ixion is the fourth-largest known plutino that has a well-constrained diameter, preceding, , and Pluto. It was the intrinsically brightest object discovered by the Deep Ecliptic Survey and is among the twenty brightest trans-Neptunian objects known according to astronomer Michael Brown and the Minor Planet Center.

Ixion was the largest and brightest Kuiper belt object found when it was discovered. Under the assumption of a low albedo, it was presumed to have a diameter around 1200 km, which would have made it larger than the dwarf planet and comparable in size to Charon. Subsequent observations of Ixion with the La Silla Observatory's MPG/ESO telescope along with the European Southern Observatory's Astrovirtel in August 2001 concluded a similar size around 1200–1400 km, though under the former assumption of a low albedo.

In 2002, astronomers of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy measured Ixion's thermal emission at millimeter wavelengths with the IRAM 30m telescope and obtained an albedo of 0.09, corresponding to a diameter of 1055 km, consistent with previous assumptions of Ixion's size and albedo. They later reevaluated their results in 2003 and realized that their detection of Ixion's thermal emission was spurious; follow-up observations with the IRAM telescope did not detect any thermal emission within the millimeter range at frequencies of 250 GHz, implying a high albedo and consequently a smaller size for Ixion. The lower limit for Ixion's albedo was constrained at 0.15, suggesting that Ixion's diameter did not exceed 804 km.

With space-based telescopes such as the Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers were able to more accurately measure Ixion's thermal emissions, allowing for more accurate estimates of its albedo and size. Preliminary thermal measurements with Spitzer in 2005 yielded a much higher albedo constraint of 0.25–0.50, corresponding to a diameter range of 400–550 km. Further Spitzer thermal measurements at multiple wavelength ranges (bands) in 2007 yielded mean diameter estimates around 446 km and 573 km for a single-band and two-band solution for the data, respectively. From these results, the adopted mean diameter was $12.4$ ($15.9$), just beyond Spitzer's 2005 diameter constraint albeit having a large margin of error. Ixion's diameter was later revised to 617 km, based on multi-band thermal observations by the Herschel Space Observatory along with Spitzer in 2013.

On 13 October 2020, Ixion occulted a 10th magnitude red giant star (star Gaia DR2 4056440205544338944), blocking out its light for a duration of approximately 45 seconds. The stellar occultation was observed by astronomers from seven different sites across the western United States. Of the ten participating observers, eight of them reported positive detections of the occultation. Observers from the Lowell Observatory provided highly precise measurements of the occultation chord timing, allowing for tight constraints to Ixion's diameter and possible atmosphere. An elliptical fit for Ixion's occultation profile gives projected dimensions of approximately 757 x 685 km, corresponding to a projected spherical diameter of 709.6 ± 0.2 km. The precise Lowell Observatory chords place an upper limit surface pressure of <2 microbars for any possible atmosphere of Ixion.

Possible dwarf planet
Astronomer Gonzalo Tancredi considers Ixion as a likely candidate as it has a diameter greater than 450 km, the estimated minimum size for an object to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium, under the assumption of a predominantly icy composition. Ixion also displays a light curve amplitude less than 0.15 magnitudes, indicative of a likely spheroidal shape, hence why Tancredi considered Ixion as a likely dwarf planet. American astronomer Michael Brown considers Ixion to highly likely be a dwarf planet, placing it at the lower end of the "highly likely" range. However, in 2019, astronomer William Grundy and colleagues proposed that trans-Neptunian objects similar in size to Ixion, around 400–1000 km in diameter, have not collapsed into solid bodies and are thus transitional between smaller, porous (and thus low-density) bodies and larger, denser, brighter and geologically differentiated planetary bodies such as dwarf planets. Ixion is situated within this size range, suggesting that it is at most only partially differentiated, with a porous internal structure. While Ixion's interior may have collapsed gravitationally, its surface remained uncompressed, implying that Ixion might not be in hydrostatic equilibrium and thus not a dwarf planet. However, this notion for Ixion cannot currently be tested: the object is not currently known to have any natural satellites, and thus Ixion's mass and density cannot currently be measured. Only two attempts with the Hubble Space Telescope have been made to find a satellite within an angular distance of 0.5 arcseconds from Ixion, and it has been suggested that there is a chance as high as 0.5% that a satellite may have been missed in these searches.

Spectra and surface
The surface of Ixion is very dark and unevolved, resembling those of smaller, primitive Kuiper belt objects such as Arrokoth. In the visible spectrum, Ixion appears moderately red in color, similar to the large Kuiper belt object. Ixion's reflectance spectrum displays a red spectral slope that extends from wavelengths of 0.4 to 0.95 μm, in which it reflects more light at these wavelengths. Longward of 0.85 μm, Ixion's spectrum becomes flat and featureless, especially at near-infrared wavelengths. In the near-infrared, Ixion's reflectance spectrum appears neutral in color and lacks apparent absorption signatures of water ice at wavelengths of 1.5 and 2 μm. Although water ice appears to be absent in Ixion's near-infrared spectrum, Barkume and colleagues have reported a detection of weak absorption signatures of water ice in Ixion's near-infrared spectrum in 2007. Ixion's featureless near-infrared spectrum indicates that its surface is covered with a thick layer of dark organic compounds irradiated by solar radiation and cosmic rays.

The red color of Ixion's surface originates from the irradiation of water- and organic-containing clathrates by solar radiation and cosmic rays, which produces dark, reddish heteropolymers called tholins that cover its surface. The production of tholins on Ixion's surface is responsible for Ixion's red, featureless spectrum as well as its low surface albedo. Ixion's neutral near-infrared color and apparent lack of water ice indicates that it has a thick layer of tholins covering its surface, suggesting that Ixion has undergone long-term irradiation and has not experienced resurfacing by impact events that may otherwise expose water ice underneath. While Ixion is generally known to have a red color, visible and near-infrared observations by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2006 and 2007 paradoxically found a bluer color. This discrepancy was concluded to be an indication of heterogeneities across its surface, which may also explain the conflicting detections of water ice in various studies. In 2003, VLT observations tentatively resolved a weak absorption feature at 0.8 μm in Ixion's spectrum, which could possibly be attributed to surface materials aqueously altered by water. However, it was not confirmed in a follow-up study by Boehnhardt and colleagues in 2004, concluding that the discrepancy between the 2003 and 2004 spectroscopic results may be the result of Ixion's heterogenous surface. In that same study, their results from photometric and polarimetric observations suggest that Ixion's surface consists of a mixture of mostly dark material and a smaller proportion of brighter, icy material. Boehnhardt and colleagues suggested a mixing ratio of 6:1 for dark and bright material as a best-fit model for a geometric albedo of 0.08. Based on combined visible and infrared spectroscopic results, they suggested that Ixion's surface consists of a mixture largely of amorphous carbon and tholins, with the following best-fit model of Ixion's surface composition: 65% amorphous carbon, 20% cometary ice tholins (ice tholin II), 13% nitrogen and methane-rich Titan tholins, and 2% water ice.

In 2005, astronomers Lorin and Rousselot observed Ixion with the VLT in attempt to search for evidence of cometary activity. They did not detect a coma around Ixion, placing an upper limit of 5.2 kilograms per second for Ixion's dust production rate.

Exploration
The New Horizons spacecraft, which successfully flew by Pluto in 2015, observed Ixion from afar using its long range imager on 13 and 14 July 2016. The spacecraft detected Ixion at magnitude 20.2 from a range of 15 AU, and was able to observe it from a high phase angle of 64 degrees, enabling the determination of the light scattering properties and photometric phase curve behavior of its surface.

In a study published by Ashley Gleaves and colleagues in 2012, Ixion was considered as a potential target for an orbiter mission concept, which would be launched on an Atlas V 551 or Delta IV HLV rocket. For an orbiter mission to Ixion, the spacecraft have a launch date in November 2039 and use a gravity assist from Jupiter, taking 20 to 25 years to arrive. Gleaves concluded that Ixion and were the most feasible targets for the orbiter, as the trajectories required the fewest maneuvers for orbital insertion around either. For a flyby mission to Ixion, planetary scientist Amanda Zangari calculated that a spacecraft could take just over 10 years to arrive at Ixion using a Jupiter gravity assist, based on a launch date of 2027 or 2032. Ixion would be approximately 31 to 35 AU from the Sun when the spacecraft arrives. Alternatively, a flyby mission with a later launch date of 2040 would also take just over 10 years, using a Jupiter gravity assist. By the time the spacecraft arrives in 2050, Ixion would be approximately 31 to 32 AU from the Sun. Other trajectories using gravity assists from Jupiter or Saturn have been also considered. A trajectory using gravity assists from Jupiter and Saturn could take under 22 years, based a launch date of 2035 or 2040, whereas a trajectory using one gravity assist from Saturn could take at least 19 years, based on a launch date of 2038 or 2040. Using these alternative trajectories for the spacecraft, Ixion would be approximately 30 AU from the Sun when the spacecraft arrives.

I have altered this paragraph because it is in fact wrong. Crell was translated into English and two editions were published in London. I do not know whether Crell's English editions influenced English readers either at the time of their publication or in later years. I have included a citation for my change. Since Crell was not translated into English, knowledge of his works passed out of the later generations of English Unitarians.

Hey Viajero, I loved your article about Ruben Blades! Very well written and accurate.

I put it on the home page. If its not there when you get in, dont feel bad a lot of times I put articles there and they take them off.

Thanks and God bless! Oh, and go to my page and check the scandal I got with Wik....support me..LOL! jk

Sincerely yours, Antonio el loquito Martin

Hi, thanks for reverting some of my changes at Rubén Blades. I must have been half asleep at the time. Some of them don't look like corrections at all! Sorry about that. Good work on it by the way. Angela 01:14, Sep 28, 2003 (UTC)

 * Está bien. Thanks for your kind words. -- Viajero 07:14, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

No - that makes you extra special. Way beyond being a simple vandal. You can go straight to the top of Wikipedians by social status. And causing someone to delete their user page from the stress of it all gets you bonus points. Lol. :) --Angela 07:16, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Do you really think our readers don't know what a writer and a painter are? Why not say he was the son of a writer and a painter? Adam 23:49, 30 Sep 2003 (UTC)

 * Hi Adam, I guess you must be referring to Karl-Maria_Kertbeny. If you look carefully at the history, you will see that it was user Frecklefoot who wikified those terms, not me (see http://en2.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Karl-Maria_Kertbeny&diff=1506776&oldid=1506726 ). I simply changed some of your HTML codes, ie , to the Wiki equivalents (also in Karl Heinrich Ulrichs). Moments thereafter the above-mentioned user went through the text and wikified many dates and terms. I undid a number of them, including books (!) (see http://en2.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Karl-Maria_Kertbeny&diff=1506783&oldid=1506776 ), but not all. Please repost this message to user_talk:Frecklefoot and by all means undo the links if they bother you.

 * FWIW, I am entirely on your side in this issue. I am a minimalist where links are concerned, and I feel they are frequently overused; overlinking clutters up articles and represents poor editorial judgement. Unfortunately, there are a number of other users who literally believe in wikifying everything, including plain English words like sand, beach, road etc, and I have had conflicts about this a number of times. Alas, the documentation partly supports them (see Make only links relevant to the context), except in the matter of dates, which is why I undo them. If you are interested in debating this issue with others, you could post a comment to Wikipedia_talk:Make only links relevant to the context; I would certainly participate in such a discussion. Excellent articles, BTW. -- Viajero 08:45, 1 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * Vaijero thanks for that, and my deepest apologies for directing my bile at you instead of the actual culprit. I will redirect it :) Adam 23:53, 1 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Well done, I definitely think it's worth adding to the main page so I have done. I don't think there's anything wrong with you adding it yourself. As long as you're not only listing your own articles to the detriment of other authors then I doubt anyone would object. They can always revert if they do! I moved it to the full name of James William Fulbright. By the way, the photo shows up fine on www. server. Angela 20:39, Oct 3, 2003 (UTC)

If you think retribution edits on other articles I write are going to bother me then you don't know me very well. As long as they are NPOV and good stuff have fun with them.Ark30inf 20:15, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * Actually, I took a look at that page because it was linked from the Main page, not because you had written it. It is a fine article; I just tweaked the formatting and the intro a bit. -- Viajero 20:25, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I would like to work this one out. The intro to the first quote (the 911 one) is something I can accept from your last version. If we can generalize the other one so that it could cover Grenada, Kosovo, Iraq, or cruise missile attacks into Sudan without having to actually list them then I would be satisfied with its neutrality.Ark30inf 21:37, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * Ok, discussion continued on Talk:J. William Fulbright. -- Viajero 22:15, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Hey, Viajero....take a look at the American Exceptionalism article. Do you think we could reach a compromise by saying "dangers of American Exceptionalism and then you adding the Iraq/Afghanistan stuff to that article in some form?Ark30inf 05:15, 5 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Hi. I think the ERM can probably safely reside at Exchange Rate Mechanism without any ambiguity. Mintguy 10:53, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Just so you know where I'm coming from, I'm a conservative Republican interested in Arkansas history, politics, and politicians. 90% of what I deal with is Democratic party politicians. So I have to be VERY careful about NPOV when writing about what I am interested in. When I wrote about Mike Huckabee I had to write for the enemy, when I wrote about James Lee Witt I had to keep any hint of my views out of it. Its difficult. So anything I perceive as POV getting into Arkansas politicians sort of gets my attention. Nothing personal.Ark30inf 18:17, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Thanks! I was just about to thank *you* por el pagina Bolivian Gas war -- when I checked my talk page, to find something from you already. What a coincidence! I wont be around for a few days, but I look forward to talking with you more. 戴&#30505sv

800x600
Hey, I just saw your comment on Talk:Main Page about not being able to tell what is 800x600. I also have a 1024x768 screen, but I just right click on my desktop and select "display modes" to change to 800x600. I'm using Windows XP. I hope this helps. --Jiang 04:45, 11 Oct 2003 (UTC)

-- Thanks for the invitation to intervene in the Ebadi article. I wrote a fairly lengthy case for the need to present the qualified interpretation in question (i.e. that the prize may have given credence to Ebadi's peaceful reformism, while critiquing the Bush administration flamboyant "Axis of Evil" rhetoric) in any neutral and suggestive article. Hopefully, this will help get the ill-informed and/or bemused criticism off the talk page. 172 01:00, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * A great help. You've also given me impetus not to be hestitant about tackling difficult current affairs issues in articles (I regularly get heat for this). Viajero 09:43, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I'd already protected it before I saw your message not to. It may as well stay that way for 24 hours to dissuade Nydigovoth. By the way, Alexandros (formerly Aplank) is in IRC and claiming not to be Nydigovoth. Angela 23:13, Oct 25, 2003 (UTC)

Hi, I'd be quite surprised if Alexandros was Nydigovoth, but then you know better than most not to trust my judgement! :) (embarrassed smile)

I don't know about the IRC suspicions. I can't really see why that would be the case. I think Nydigovoth is simply a troll and I'm fairly sure he's not new. He seems to be purposefully trying to stir up trouble. He reminds me a lot of BuddhaInside.

Regarding the removal of text from problem users -I think you were right in restoring it. I don't like anyone who is listed there removing text that concerns the issue.

By the way, is your user page supposed to be protected? I'm not sure if I might have just protected it by accident. Let me know if you need me to take it off. Angela 14:06, Oct 26, 2003 (UTC) <--I just realised this makes no sense. I must have forgot you were a sysop! Sorry. :) Angela 19:41, Oct 27, 2003 (UTC)

Hello. There seems to be some confusion over the Nydigoveth (AKA Nydigovoth) user. Nydigovoth is not me and I would appreciate it if you would refrain from making any further allegations concerning my username without discussing the accusations with me first (User_talk:Alexandros). I am sorry to bother you and I wish you the best. See adding Problem users for more information. Alexandros 14:33, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

test 212.238.218.165 21:15, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I don't always watch other people's pages when I leave a message so it's probably best to reply at my page. I can understand your irritation with Nydigovoth. He continued messing around with other articles like David Blaine after you left.

Personally I would not have protected the page if I was you, but others think I interpret that rule too strictly. I prefer to err on the side of caution and refuse to protect any page I have edited at all. Even if I only reverted obvious vandalism. I'd just rather not be accused of abusing my powers! The problem is that any sensible person wouldn't see as an abuse of power, but a troll like that probably would. Up to you really, but there's generally going to be another sysop around that you can to do it for you if you want to be cautious. Angela 22:08, Oct 26, 2003 (UTC)

I've taken the Nydigoveth=Alexandros (formerly Aplank) statement off Problem users as this seems to be sorted out now. Angela 19:41, Oct 27, 2003 (UTC)

What are your doubts re Lesbian Bed Death? Just curious :) It's a bit of a silly idea, but it seems to have created a lot of discussion out there, though pretty much wholly negative. Dysprosia 09:12, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * Seems like a bit of a caricature, a cultural stereotype. I am not a lesbian, hence I don't know for sure. Has there been discussion here or out there in the Big Wide World? -- Viajero 09:20, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * I've been looking on Google for some stuff on it, found a lot of criticism. It has been merged to Lesbian which IMO is really POV, so I might give it a retool/onceover so it doesn't sound as so, but I'm not sure what good it'll do. You are right that it is a bit of a stereotype, and I'll try and make that point. Dysprosia 09:23, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * That is probably a good a destination for it as any! It seems a lot of newbies create these sub-stubs instead of adding text to existing articles. Have you looked at New pages lately? A constant stream of things 100-500 bytes in size. There must be tens of thousand of them floating around in the bottomless gizzard of Wikipedia! What a thought... -- Viajero 09:46, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Feel free to remove links at music of Cuba -- I may reinstate some, but probably not. I don't think the red links make the article more difficult to read and will, in the future, aid in the linking between articles because whoever writes on a given subject may not go back to add links in other articles. Tuf-Kat 19:16, Oct 28, 2003 (UTC)
 * Anyway, be bold in updating pages -- especially this one, because I find the history of Cuban music incredibly complicated and difficult to follow. Tuf-Kat 19:53, Oct 28, 2003 (UTC)

No problem, and don't worry about reading the talk on my page. If it was meant to be private, it wouldn't be there! I think you went about the Alun thing in the right way. Sometimes the problem for newbies is that they genuinely don't realise other people are working on an article. I remember when I started, I had no idea whether I was the only person who was ever going to read a page or whether someone was going to revert my changes immediately. I kinda like the extended version of be bold! Perhaps be bold but be prepared to be reverted for it? :) Angela

Book of Armagh
Hi Viajero, I was pleased to see that you put Book of Armagh on the main page. Thanks, it is nice to be noticed. I, however, undid your edit. You can see the talk page of the Book of Armagh for why.David Stapleton 16:19, Oct 30, 2003 (UTC)

Khodorkovsky arrest
I think the arrest of Mikhail Khodorkovsky is one of the biggest stories of the year. It points to the struggle within the Kremlin between the KGB/Military and the business elite. Would love to see him in the News on the front page and would welcome your thoughts and improvements on the article.

Great job on Edo de Waart! I've made a couple of tiny tweaks, but I think I'd need more substantial sources than the ones I have to hand to add anything much. I'll see if I can dig anything up next week, but your article looks pretty comprehensive. Good work. --Camembert

Hmmm, I don't know who this 'niceguy' is. I assumed at first he was Heine as he moved Heine off the page a while ago, but I doubt that now. I doubt it's a newbie either. Anyway, I wouldn't disagree with moving Nico and szopen off the page, but I think it's better for someone who is known to do it rather than this anonymous 'niceguy'. Perhaps it could be moved to their talk pages. It doesn't seem like anyone else regards either of them as problematic enough to comment on Problem users, so it's best moved to a place they can sort it out amongst themselves. Angela 16:01, Nov 4, 2003 (UTC)

I live in hope that the majority of people actually writing articles won't want them to look like a complete mess and will apply a little common sense to linking. Vamos a ver. Bmills 14:44, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
