Dunstable Downs

Dunstable Downs are part of the Chiltern Hills, in southern Bedfordshire, England; and are located near (and named after) the town of Dunstable. They are a chalk escarpment forming the north-eastern reaches of the Chilterns. At 243 m, Dunstable Downs are the highest point in the county of Bedfordshire.

Because of its elevation, Dunstable Downs hosted a station in the shutter telegraph chain which connected the Admiralty in London to its naval ships in the port of Great Yarmouth during the years 1808 to 1814.

Whipsnade Zoo has cut an enormous lion shape into the chalk on the side of one of the hills. The lion can be seen from the B489 (Aylesbury to Dunstable road).

The downs are used by gliders, kite fliers, hang gliders and paragliders in the area because of their height. The London Gliding Club is based at the foot of the downs.

Much of the downs is managed by the National Trust as part of the Dunstable Downs & Whipsnade Estate property.

Ascents
Central Bedfordshire Council and the National Trust commissioned Archetype architects to build a visitor centre known as the Chilterns Gateway Centre, on the very top of Dunstable Downs. The summit is right next to the B4541 road that crosses the hill, and so an ascent of the hill requires nothing more than getting out of a car at the highest point and walking across to the trig point.

For those who wish to climb the hill from the base, it is possible to do a circular walk from the village of Whipsnade by following the Icknield Way Path and Chiltern Way, both of which are marked on Ordnance Survey maps. This circuit can be extended to take in the northern top of Five Knolls. The hill can also be ascended from Dunstable to the north. The Icknield Way Trail, a horse rider and off-road cycle route, has been established following a similar route to the Icknield Way Path which passes over the Dunstable Downs.

Archaeological sites
The Five Knolls Barrow Cemetery is located at the northern tip of the Dunstable Downs. First described by antiquarian William Stukeley in the 18th century, the site contained burials from the late Neolithic to Saxon eras prior to excavation. They include the "Five Knolls Woman", aged between 35 and 40 years, buried on her side with a flint knife. A, buried with a number of echinoid fossils were also found, dating approximately from the early Bronze Age. The site is also known for the deviant burial of executed Saxon criminals.

Natural history
The downs are home to a wide variety of wildlife including many rare wild flowers, such as the bee orchid, and butterfly species, like the marbled white and the chalkhill blue.

Areas of the west-facing slope were notified in 1987 under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) called Dunstable and Whipsnade Downs. Blow's Down is a continuation of the Dunstable Downs escarpment on the eastern side of Dunstable. It is also an SSSI and most of it is managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire (as Blow's Downs).

Kevin O'Neill (basketball)

Kevin James O'Neill (born January 24, 1957) is an American basketball coach with experience as the head coach of various college and National Basketball Association (NBA) teams. Most recently he was the coach of the USC Trojans basketball team.

O'Neill was born in Malone, New York and attended McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He lettered in basketball for three years in college, 1976–79, and in 1978 the McGill Redman had a school-record 28 win season and entered the Canadian Interuniversity Sport men's basketball championship tournament. He graduated from McGill in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in education, and later earned his master's degree in secondary education from Marycrest College in 1983, where he also served as head coach of the NAIA basketball team for the 1982–83 season.

Early life
Born in Malone, New York, O'Neill grew up in nearby Chateaugay and graduated from Chateaugay Central School in 1975.

Early coaching career
O'Neill's head coaching career began with tenures at North Country Community College (Saranac Lake, New York), Marycrest College (Davenport, Iowa), Marquette, Tennessee and Northwestern. During his tenure as the Northwestern coach O'Neill is most notably remembered for a game with Indiana where the rowdy Northwestern faithful chanted "Hoosier Daddy" (a play on "Who's Your Daddy?") at opposing coach Bob Knight. Of course this did not sit well with Knight as he and O'Neill got into it during the contest. However all was settled under a practice gym basket well after the game as ESPN camera crews caught the coaches talking their issues out. He would eventually become an assistant coach under Jeff Van Gundy with the New York Knicks. In 2001, he joined the Detroit Pistons under head coach Rick Carlisle.

Marquette Golden Eagles
As the head coach at Marquette, O'Neill led the then-Warriors to two 20+ win seasons, two NCAA tournament appearances, and a Great Midwest Conference Championship. O'Neill played a prominent role in the 1994 Oscar-nominated documentary, Hoop Dreams.

Toronto Raptors 2003–04
The McGill University graduate returned to Canada in June 2003 as the head coach of the Toronto Raptors. His tenure was marked by inconsistency among his players, but the team was 25–25 after 50 games and in a position to return to the playoffs. However, injuries to key players resulted in the team going 8–24 to finish the season three games out of a playoff spot. On April 17, 2004, O'Neill was fired in the aftermath of a disappointing 2003–2004 season, after making some remarks which were taken to question the team's commitment to winning.

Indiana Pacers
In the 2004–2005 season he was hired as an assistant coach with the Indiana Pacers where he rejoined head coach Rick Carlisle.

Arizona Wildcats 2007–08
On May 1, 2007 it was announced that O'Neill would replace Jim Rosborough as the assistant coach to Hall of Famer Lute Olson at the University of Arizona. O'Neill was an assistant under Olson during Arizona's rise to national prominence in the 1980s, and used it as a launching board to attain his first major head coaching position at Marquette.

On November 4, 2007, Olson announced that he was taking an "indefinite leave of absence", and that O'Neill would assume Olson's head coaching duties in his absence. On December 6 Olson released a statement stating that he would be extending his leave of absence for the remainder of the season. He cited personal family reasons that required his immediate attention; the next day, his attorney revealed that Olson had filed for divorce from his second wife. The same day it was announced that O'Neill would remain the interim head coach for the rest of the season.

Later the same month, on December 18, Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood announced O'Neill as the designated successor to Olson. Olson said at the time he planned to return for the 2008–09 season; Livengood stated that O'Neill would succeed Olson upon his retirement. In March 2008, Olson confirmed that he would return as head coach for the 2008–2009 season, and said that he planned to coach until his contract ended in 2011. With the announcement of Olson's return, the O'Neill succession plan was thrown into question amidst media rumors of disagreement between Olson and O'Neill.

Only a month later, Lute Olson announced that O'Neill would not be retained on the University of Arizona staff. After spending the spring and summer preparing for the upcoming season, Olson abruptly and unexpectedly announced his permanent retirement from the Arizona basketball program in October 2008; his personal physician cited health concerns as the reason.

Memphis Grizzlies 2008–09
In May 2008, O'Neill was hired as an assistant coach & special assistant to the GM for the Memphis Grizzlies.

USC Trojans 2009–2013
On June 20, 2009, O'Neill was named head coach of the USC men's basketball team.

O'Neill along with noted USC booster Nik Visger were involved in an altercation with an Arizona Wildcats booster at his hotel on March 10, 2011. As a result, O'Neill was suspended for the rest of the Pac-10 tournament, which resulted in a 67–62 loss for the Trojans.

O'Neill's 2012–2013 entered the season with high hopes based around a number of transfers coming in from other programs. The team started the season 3–6, fueling speculation that it would be O'Neill's last at USC. Much of this speculation was due to the fact that O'Neill sold his Los Angeles home, and relocated to Coronado, CA, which is located over 125 miles away from USC.

On January 14, 2013 Pat Haden, USC Athletic Director, announced that O'Neill had been relieved of his duties at the University after beginning the season 7–10 (2–2 Pac-12).

Broadcasting career
In October 2013, O'Neill joined Fox Sports as a college basketball analyst.

List of Mixed Martial Arts Champions
Hi, I've been doing a lot of work (the vast majority of work) updating the list of mixed martial arts champions page and I noticed that you re-added Risingon Promotions champions. I would like to keep track on Risingon and their champions, but as they have only had 3 events I feel that they are far too new to be considered in the list, as it is unclear as to the lasting appeal and promotional strength of the organization, also there is no easy way for me to stay updated on their champions as they are not reported on in the American/English press, making their references on an English language page somewhat useless. Until the promotion has a longer history and more international I remain unsure about leaving those titles on the page. Japanese Organizations already have several, much larger, and more notable organizations and the article may suffer if every organization that offers a belt is listed. I would not be against retaining it in the talk page, but I will leave that up to you. Thaddeus Venture (talk)

List of KOTC Champions
i see you started a page for the list of KOTC champions, good stuff, we been needing one of those for a while to keep up with the promotion's title holders. i'll be helping out and putting in work on that page whenever needed Delinquent1904 (talk) 05:32, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Um, why did you go in and erase my templates on the boxers? Adding additional information is great, but please follow the standards. We're trying to get some uniformity on the succession boxes. —Chowbok 21:41, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry,Chowbok. I was not sure what the templates were.I will recover the last eddition of Vitali Klitschko.I just wanted to make articles of boxers more particular.Yappakoredesho 08:32, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

Redundant categories
Yappakoredesho, I think your articles on kickboxers are just great, keep up the good work. However one of the approaches we use on Wikipedia is to keep the number of overlapping categories to a minimum by using subcategories that have lots of parent categories. For example, Category:Japanese people is a parent category of Category:Japanese sportspeople. Also, the Category:Men is for articles about men in general, not specific men. Regards, --Hooperbloob 05:55, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

All right. I got it. --Yappakoredesho 25 August 2005 (UTC)

MMA project
Some issues. Wouldn't "Mixed martial arts" be a better project than "Mixed martial artists"? That way you can have the promotion articles and others under the project too, not just articles on people. I suggest you just move the project page. Also the "Martial arts" project probably has some relation, maybe a parent in addition to sports? Also quite a few typos in the project page. ↪Lakes 12:28, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I reverted your changes to the template. Please discuss changes to it in its talk page.
 * Now a few points.

 * If you add items to a template you first have to go through every page that uses it, and fix them beforehand, otherwise all the pages will be broken.
 * Also making the template items more complicated serves no purpose, since those won't be visible on the pages that use them anyway, and only make writing pages that use the template more complicated.
 * I also don't see any reason in changing "Mixed martial arts record" to "Record", since the people can have other records too. For example in amateur wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, and so on.
 * I don't have a problem with having more items in the statsbox, but please discuss them beforehand.
 * ↪Lakes 15:12, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Boxing statsbox
When you duplicated the MMA statsbox you missed the subparts. You also need to duplicate Template:MMAstatsbox/image for example.

Also don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think your level of English is enough for contributing to the English Wikipedia. There are many grammar and spelling errors in the Hozumi Hasegawa. ↪Lakes 19:25, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your kindness,Lakes. By the way, I really want to know which errors you are talking about. Can you represent wrong parts in articles which I have written? --Yappakoredesho 20:45, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Sure thing. "is a Japanese boxer who is a current WBC world bantamweight champion now." should be "is Japanese boxer who is the current WBC world bantamweight champion." When talking about current champions there usually is only one, so "the" is used instead of "a". "Current" also implies "now".
 * "He debut as a professional boxer" should be "debuted".
 * "He beat Veeraphol Sahaprom and stopped his 15th defence of his title in April 16,2005." I don't understand this sentence. Who is "his" referring to, Sahaprom or Hasegawa?
 * I would use defeated instead of beat, although beat is not incorrect, defeated just fits better.
 * "Stopped his 15th defence" What do you mean here? To stop a defence says to me that the match was somehow ended prematurely.
 * In a sentence you should have a space after a comma.
 * In the boxing statbox you use "Alias". Nickname is the correct term. Alias is used when the name is used to hide the real identity of the person, nickname is an additional name. You're also missing an "o" from "No contests". You also have missing letters in your talk page, "It is ony to copy and pase it." in the top.
 * As a side note, you should probably make the "died" item in the statsbox optional like the image one.

 * On second thought, why am I apologizing? There was no previous guide that was out of date. You're being rude, although I can't tell if it is because of the language barrier.
 * You should add Template_talk:MMAstatsbox to your watchlist if you want to keep up with changes.
 * ↪Lakes 17:27, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You seem to misunderstand something.
 * First of all, I did adding MMA statsbox to my watchlist for long time ago.
 * Secondly, I'm not talking about MMA statsbox, I am talking about the record table. And I couldn't find any dicussion about it and its template. That is the reason why I said it is unkind to participants in the future (not only to me).
 * Have you had a clear apprehension of my message? By the way, you don't have to be worried about language barrier between you and me unless you use slang because I have spent 4 years at a British school in Kent, the UK. Yappakoredesho 14:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Well I was under the impression you were talking about the record section of the MMAstatsbox since I had recently modified it. Were you talking about my edit for Randy Couture's match listing? I was only cleaning up the list that was there, the format is certainly not very good and should not be any kind of standard. I hadn't noticed the the record section in the project page. However I don't think that box is complete either.

Question
Why do you have such a passion in bashing on kumdo when you are not a student of any type of sword martial arts?...

 * I don't know why at all. Somehow they claim that my view biased even after all I eddited the article based on historical archive.

when you are not a student of any type of sword martial arts?...

I have learned kendo for 2 years. If you want to see my eddition, see history of kumdo article.

Could you sign when you write a message please. Copy and paste this " --~ " in the end of your message.

Anyway, I will add some information of kumdo in the article later. If you want to see the relationship between kendo and kumdo, I suggest you visit a following homepage. --Yappakoredesho 17:39, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 *

If you did learn Kendo for two years, doesn't it teach to humble to others? It seems like you hate all Kumdo students when some of them, such as me, does not claim we have the history claimed in your 'websites'. (Sorry but I don't really trust geocities) I just want to study Kumdo because of my background, I'm full blood korean, my masters do not think Kumdo is better than Kendo. (I'm sorry I didn't sing in for that part) --Eugenius 05:16, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

 * OK, what I said in talk page of kumdo artcle was that I can not understand why some kumdo organizations insist Japanese kendo came from korean kumdo in North America, and why kumdo organizations have to make up a fake history about their origin.

If you are going to leran kumdo, you should know following facts.

 * There was no skill which handles swords with both hands before 1910 in Korea. The old Korean soldiers fought with a sword and a shield. The sword skills of modern Korean kumdo is completely different from Korean tranditional swords skills.
 * Protectors, bamboo sword in kumdo were almost same as kendo's. Did you know that the origin of bamboo swords (called shinai) was invented by Japanese master Kamiizumi Hidetsuna(上泉秀綱、1508-1577)?

I wonder why kumdo has to imitate kendo though Korea has its own swords skills which is completely different from Japan's. Why kumdo has to use 剣道 the term instead of using 大韓剣術 like that.I was told to humble to others when I learned kendo and karate, however I do not think I should be humble to people who are making up a nonexistence tranditional culture and distort history to harm our culture. Do not misunderstand, it doen not mean I hate all koreans. I am saying that it is no good to make up a nonexistence tranditional culture and distort history. I suggest you should reserch about kumdo before you say that you can not trust assertions from Japan.

Thanks.--Yappakoredesho 14:12, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

I think because of the brutal history between Japan and Korea has brought this much of a heated arguement. I do kumdo but I'm not saying that we invented it. Both my masters agree to that too. But look at soccer/football. Its called soccer in the U.S. but more commonly known as football in Europe? Any debates there? No. I am not attacking anyone but suggesting we just drop it.

 * Why should not WKBA have been moved to WKBA (radio station)? The importance of WKBA (radio station) and World Kick Boxing Association are same.Yappakoredesho (talk) 07:05, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Because a hatlink does the same without the need for moving a page or creating a disambig page. Also, in the MOS, the page wouldn't be named WKBA (radio station) anyway, so no matter what, it would need to be moved. -  NeutralHomer  •  Talk  • 07:23, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, Yappakoredosho. If USA/Canada radio stations are moved like this, they get the station type in parentheses instead.  For example, WKBA becomes WKBA (AM).  Sometimes there is also (FM) or (TV) for a station that does not have -FM or -TV already in the callsign.  This is because of the tradition of how the broadcasting industry in North America labels stations in periodicals. --Closeapple (talk) 12:25, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:HAYATO.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:HAYATO.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jmundo (talk) 04:44, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Noboru Asahi

The article Noboru Asahi has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Ivan Hippolyte
This message is regarding Ivan Hippolyte being placed as a K-1 World Max Champion and should be reeditied as a K-3 Grand Prix Champion.

It is to my understanding that the K-3 and K-1 World Max Championships were of seperate catagories and as such should be seperated. Within the K-1 official website they state their K-1 World Max Champions in order of induction. In no official way do they include or recognize Ivan Hippolyte among that list indicating that Ivan should be placed within a separate category. --199.126.41.223 (talk) 06:14, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Top Cow Productions

Top Cow Productions is an American comics publisher, an imprint of Image Comics. It was founded by Marc Silvestri in 1992.

History
During the early years of Image Comics, founder Marc Silvestri shared a studio with Jim Lee. In this studio, he created his first creator-owned comic book, Cyberforce, as part of Image's initial line-up. After setting up his own studio, Top Cow Productions, he expanded into other comics, launching Codename: Strykeforce, a new Cyberforce series and various spin-offs.

Top Cow attracted several professionals including artist Brandon Peterson, writer Garth Ennis and former Marvel staffer David Wohl. The company also helped launch the careers of various writers and artists, such as Christina Z, Joe Benitez, Michael Turner and David Finch. Benitez, Turner and Finch have since worked for DC and Marvel Comics.

In 1996, Top Cow briefly parted ways with Image during a power struggle with Image associate Rob Liefeld. Liefeld left the company shortly after Top Cow's departure, and Top Cow returned to the partnership. At the same time, Top Cow was moving more into the fantasy genre with new properties Witchblade and The Darkness. Thanks to the success of Witchblade, Top Cow was able to expand, adding new titles to its lineup including The Darkness, Magdalena, Aphrodite IX, and others. Silvestri was heavily involved in training and developing new talent through the studio and Top Cow was known for a time for its "house style" (standardized elements of illustration across multiple titles produced by Top Cow), though former publisher Filip Sablik has argued that the company never truly had a house style.

In addition to its company-owned properties, Top Cow has worked with creators to develop creator-owned properties. These properties have included Michael Turner's Fathom (which eventually ended up at Aspen Comics), and Joe's Comics, created exclusively for J. Michael Straczynski, which included Rising Stars and Midnight Nation. Top Cow is also known for bringing Tomb Raider's Lara Croft to comics.

In 2006, Top Cow made a business agreement with Marvel Comics to publish crossovers such as Darkness/Wolverine and Witchblade/Punisher. As part of this agreement, several Top Cow artists also provided art chores on various Marvel series. Tyler Kirkham worked on Phoenix: Warsong and New Avengers/Transformers; Mike Choi worked on X-23: Target X; and Silvestri himself worked on X-Men: Messiah Complex. At the 2007 San Diego Comic Con, an announcement was made by Marvel Comics extending the deal into 2008.

At the 2007 New York Comic Con Top Cow announced that they would be one of the first major comics publishers to offer online distribution, through a partnership with IGN. The initial titles offered included Tomb Raider, The Darkness, and Witchblade, at $1.99 per issue. They also announced a deal with Zannel to license their comics as mobile comics.

In 2022, Top Cow Productions reprinted the early issues of Cyberforce for the first time since 1994 in a 30th anniversary commemorative hardcover edition The project was funded through Kickstarter, and the commemorative edition was exclusively available through the platform. The book collected Cyberforce #0, Tin Men of War #1-4, WildCATS #5-7, Cyberforce volume 2 #1-13, Origins #1 (Cyblade) and #2 (Stryker), and Cyberforce Annual #1. Later in the same year the book was reprinted in a trade paperback with the same contents.

In 2024, the company announced a new Witchblade series written by Marguerite Bennett and drawn by Giuseppe Cafaro.

Film
In December 2004, Dimension Films paid an undisclosed six-figure sum to develop a movie based on the comic, possibly for release in 2008. The film was pitched as a movie similar to The Crow, which was also produced by Dimension. There have been no further developments.

Video games
In March 2005, The Darkness was licensed by Majesco Entertainment for a console game to be developed by Starbreeze Studios. 2K Games later obtained the rights to the game, and a first-person shooter adaptation was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 console systems on June 25, 2007, in the United States. In the EU, the game was released for Xbox 360 on June 29, 2007, and for PS3 on July 20 of the same year.

To promote the video game, a five-issue mini-series was released, with each issue chronicled a chapter of the game. In June 2007, the mini-series was collected into a trade paperback.

In February 2012, a sequel to the video game, entitled The Darkness II, was released for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The script for the game was written by comic book writer Paul Jenkins, who previously worked on The Darkness comic series. Unlike the first game, the graphics for The Darkness II were developed using a cel-shading technique, emulating the aesthetic of its graphic novel namesake. The game received positive reviews from critics.

Television series
Following a pilot film in August 2000, the cable network TNT premiered a television series based on the comic book series in 2001. The series was directed by Ralph Hemecker and written by Marc Silvestri and J.D. Zeik. Yancy Butler starred as Sara Pezzini. Although critically acclaimed and popular with audiences, it was canceled in September 2002. The cancellation was announced as a production decision, but there was widespread speculation that the true reason for its cancellation was Butler's alcohol addiction; Butler was ordered to enter rehab for alcohol addiction a year later, after being arrested for wandering intoxicated amidst traffic.

Witchblade ran for two 12–episode seasons on TNT. The first episode aired on June 12, 2001, and the last episode aired on August 26, 2002. On April 1, 2008, Warner Home Video announced a long-anticipated DVD release. Witchblade: The Complete Series — a seven-disc collectors set including the original made-for-TV movie, all 23 episodes of the series, and special features — was released July 29, 2008.

Reboot
In January 2017, NBC announced that it would be developing a Witchblade reboot, with Carol Mendelsohn and Caroline Dries serving as executive producers.

Film adaptation
An American superhero film based on the series was announced in 2008. The film was to be directed by Michael Rymer, who directed the 2002 film Queen of the Damned and several episodes of Battlestar Galactica, and was to be written by Everett De Roche.

The film was one of the two being produced and financed back-to-back by Platinum Studios, IDG Films and Relativity Media. The film was to be produced by Arclight's Gary Hamilton and Nigel Odell, Platinum Studios' Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, and Steve Squillante of Havenwood Media. Top Cow's Marc Silvestri and Matt Hawkins were to be executive producers with Platinum Studios' Rich Marincic and Greenberg Group's Randy Greenberg. Filming was announced to begin in September 2008, with China and Australia among the possible locations being considered for filming. Megan Fox was approached for the role of Sara Pezzini at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con.

The film's website and teaser poster were released in May 2008, but the project was later cancelled.

Anime series
In 2004 Japanese animation studio GONZO announced an anime version of Witchblade, with a subsequent manga adaptation. The anime version is considered controversial by some, because GONZO has announced that the main character of the anime is of Japanese ethnicity but is not Itagaki, one of the previous bearers of the Witchblade. Instead the main character is a new character named Masane. Although this series centers around all new characters and tells a new story not contained in the source material, it is set in the same continuity as the comic book. The anime series began broadcast during April 2006 and ran for 24 episodes.

PhpWebSite
Hello Peter,

There's really very little hard and fast rules about what sections should and shouldn't be present in an article. Generally in longer articles you normally see a "History", "References", and "External links" sections, but the rest are dependant upon content. Generally when I'm trying to determine what should be present in an article and what should be omitted, I find it usually helps to remember that articles here should resemble what you would find in a normal encyclopedia; in other words, the article should have enough information to give a non-knowledgeable reader a good overview of the topic, but not too much to bog it down. The article should serve as a "launching point" for the reader - to sum up the highlights and provide links/pointers to more extensive resources for the reader to follow should he/she be interested.

What tends to happen with a lot of articles is "information creep" - too much information is added, and the article begins to resemble not an encyclopedia entry, but an instruction manual. This is of course not done intentionally - editors with the best of intentions often are merely trying to be more informative. Again, while WP is not limited in size and can be more thorough than a traditional encyclopedia, it still isn't meant to be an exhaustive resource for each topic.

Both the Joomla! and TikiWiki articles aren't bad articles to reference. They both, for the most part, seem to be fairly neutral and concise. They are not perfect though - the Documentation section of TikiWiki could probably just be condensed to a single external link for readers to follow, and the entire Major components section really ought to be condensed. Joomla!, on the other hand, is much better - it doesn't go into extensive detail, and leads the reader to other resources for further info. The Release History section should probably go though. I'd say if you use Joomla! as a reference, PhpWebSite would come out looking pretty good.

As far as writing from a NPOV goes, there's a pretty good (if not long) guideline here. There's plenty of other guides available too in the Help category that can help you write a great article.

As a side note, I recommend you remove your full name and e-mail addresses from the PhpWebSite article's Talk page for your own privacy sake. The information is available to everyone, so you may get unwanted contact if you post personal info here. You can always enable the "E-mail this user" feature in "my preferences" to allow users to e-mail you without them knowing your e-mail address. I'll remove your personal info from my own talk page.

I hope this info is of use to you. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance! --AbsolutDan (talk) 13:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

P.S. it's a good idea to always sign your posts by adding 1 or 2 dashes followe by 4 tildas at the end like this: --~

--AbsolutDan (talk) 13:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Those proposed edits sounds like a good start to me. Another good resource you may wish to check out is the featured articles (see Featured articles. Featured articles are those deemed best by the Wikipedia community, so are great examples of tone, style, POV, etc. Enjoy! --AbsolutDan (talk) 15:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't want to be a grump, but... On the two pictures you uploaded for Arrestor wires: you didn't indicate on the Image pages where the pictures come from and how we have the right to use them. If they are from the U.S. gov't, for example, they're almost certainly public domain, but we should say so. If you snapped them yourself, great, say so. Etc. If they are not legitimately obtained, we're better off without them; we try very hard not to violate copyrights. -- Jmabel 17:48, 21 May 2004 (UTC)

Unverified images
Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

 * Image:Island_class.jpg
 * Image:Echo class.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License,  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 04:51, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

Image Tagging Image:HMS Roebuck0.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:HMS Roebuck0.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use or fairuse. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Pak21 11:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Echo class.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Echo class.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.
