Saab images
Hi,

I like the images of Saab's you're uploading. I've a picture of the first Saab on the german wikipedia at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:DCP_1391.JPG, perhaps you can use it.
 * Yes, that is a great picture of the Ursaab! But the name of the file 'DCP 1391.JPG' is not very clear.... I will use it in the Ursaab article (still to be written).

The drawings you upload, what is the source of those, did you draw them yourself? -- JeLuF 19:38, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * click on a picture and read the info - they are line drawings by Gunnar A. Sjögren from his book The SAAB Way. This book is entirely on line, follow the external link on the 'GAS' article. MH 19:50, 2004 Jun 16 (UTC)
 * I've looked at Image:Saabasj97.jpg, where this message was missing, and I didn't look closely enough to the others. Thank's for adding it. -- JeLuF 19:56, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)

 * I was working on it, the message is there now. MH 20:03, 2004 Jun 16 (UTC)

It looks like the image Image:C900conv.jpg you uploaded risks being deleted. Could you perhaps add the necessary information. // Liftarn

Ford Essex picture
You should probably put down the exact source of this image. —Morven 04:14, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your help!
Thanks for your help with the South Park Republican page. As you can see my speling suks :-)

But whats with all the question marks instead of apostrophies?!

Nice point on the fear of strangers thing.

Siphon diagram
Great diagram of a siphon, thanks. Would you be able to add labels for the points and heights described in the Bernoulli's equation section? Thanks. Samw 04:30, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for the diagram! Samw 02:06, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

period at the end of sentence
Hi and thanks for your changes to rate of fluid flow. I have just one remark. Could you please put a period at the end of a formula, if that formula is at the end of sentence? This is the standard math usage, and it looks better in general. Thank you. Oleg Alexandrov 16:45, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Miraflores disambiguation
Hi, I notice you've created a disambiguation page for the word Miraflores. Disambiguation pages should include links to each place's article page. Please add these links. Even if the place has no article yet, you should add a red link, and someone will eventually create the article. Greetings, --Tuomas  hello 22:13, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

British spelling
Sonett, it is in poor taste to convert American spelling to British spelling without reason, such as changing from "neighbors" to "neighbours" in Parallel parking. I refer you to Manual of style:
 * If an article is predominantly written in one type of English, aim to conform to that type rather than provoking conflict by changing to another. (Sometimes, this can happen quite innocently, so please don't be too quick to make accusations!)

The article in question is written predominantly for those who drive on the right side of the road, which is explicitly not Britain. As the primary author of that article, I am not bothered by this, but someone else may find a problem with this behavior. --Cluster 23:22, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Image:Homokinetic-joint.jpg

List of second moments of area
I think the 'List of second moments of area' should be a separate article. I think it was a mistake to combine the two quantities (moment of inertia and second moment of inertia), as it confuses two very different physical quantities. The fact that their derivation is similar shouldn't distract us from that and combining them, in my opinion, is like combining articles on mass transfer and fluid mechanics because you can derive both sets of governing equations from Reynolds transport theorem.

Also, 'moment of inertia' and 'second moment of inertia' are two separate articles-- I created the second one--(I'm the person behind the IP address) and I edited the 'moment of inertia' article to tease the two issues apart (which I think makes sense). If 'moment of inertia' and 'second moment of inertia' are separate articles-- why combine the lists? -- I don't think it makes sense to combine the lists and this is why I made a separate article.

I think it is very awkward to have two different tables in the same article. Merging the two tables would be better-- but that cannot really be done for practical reasons.

If different things are combined-- I think 'area moments of inertia' should be combined with the centroid and 'mass moments of inertia' with 'mass center' (this is how my statics textbook (Meriam JL, Kraige LG, Engineering mechanics, 3rd Ed., John wiley & Sons, Inc., 1993.) presents the quantities.

Also, if they are to remain merged the article should be renamed. "List of moments of inertia" suggests the quality associated with angular acceleration only-- and that is in fact how the article was created --OR-- the title is less clear than it could be. A more appropriate name would be 'List of moments of inertia and second moments of inertia.'

I think things should be kept as simple as possible. If the connection between moment of inertia and second moment of inertia is so important -- perhaps a separate article should be written (like one could be written about Reynolds transport theorem).

Arquitectos
Hola Sonett

Estas elaborando una lista de arquitectos cuando ya se categorizó la anterior lista y se eliminó la misma hace poco. He puesto el cartel "destruir" porque en wikipedia español hemos dedicido suprimir en la medida de lo posible las listas, de forma que te lo aviso por si te estás tomando mucho trabajo en ello, que sepas que seguramente te lo borren. Un saludo, Hispa

Image:Stress v strain A36.png
Thanks for pointing out the typo. You are right that the strain scale is wrong, it's more like a high-strength steel then structural steel. It's hard to show both the slope of the elastic portion of the curve and the full width of the plastic portion in a plot that doesn't take up the entire page. I'll play with it a bit, see if I can't make it look better.

What do you mean about "reference numbers" - maybe sigma sub y and sigma sub u? Toiyabe 19:27, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I've made another go of it -

 * Reference numbers are:
 * 1 - Ultimate Strength
 * 2 - Yield Strength
 * 3 - Rupture
 * 4 - Strain-hardening region
 * 5 - Necking region

 * What do you think? Toiyabe 18:59, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

 * OK, here's another one -

 * I based this on the one at the Dutch wiki -

 * I'd like your opinion on the reference numbers -

 * Is B or C in the yield strength? What is the other one?
 * Region I should be the elastic range. Is that drawn correctly, or should it end at 'B'?
 * What's a good term for Region II? 'Yield Region'? Toiyabe 21:18, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

SECAM vs. SÉCAM
I do not think SÉCAM is the proper abbreviation, but rather that SECAM is. I would not normally comment to you, as both forms are used in the article, but I am doing so because you changed the abbreviation SECAM to SÉCAM on multiple instances. Please see the talk page about the issue, as I am considering moving the page to SECAM, which would be highly inconsistent if all instances of the acronym on the page used SÉCAM.—Kbolino 04:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Carburetor
I've reverted your deletion of the nomenclature from image:CarbNomenclature.jpg. Moving the nomenclature to the image file page requires multiple clicks to view it, and putting it in the caption makes it difficult to view the image and the nomenclature at the same time. I've also swapped the positions of the two images in Carburetor, since the cross-sectional schematic goes better with the operational-basics section of the article. Scheinwerfermann 14:52, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That was a silly thing to do. You may have created it, but you don't own it!
 * I never claimed to own it; let's be grownups and leave the namecalling and putting words in others' mouths out on the playground where they belong. The image with nomenclature is used in the English-language carburetor article right now, and that's appropriate. If you want to use it in other-language articles, that's terrific...use image:CarbNoNomenclature.jpg, which has the lettered arrows without the English nomenclature.

Erroneous edit to Ignition timing article
I have had to revert a technically incorrect edit that you made to the ignition timing article. The vacuum source used to operate vacuum advance is not always manifold vacuum.

Pore water pressure
I note you have previously edited the above. I have added a couple of defintions from a British standard I was looking at. I have read a lot on wiki but this is my first edit. I am not educated (self teaching) in this area. I would be grateful if you could edit so I don't offend.

Message
Sorry to edit your page like this but I wanted to know what the official source is for the Dutch Standards page. I have this source but its not as complete as yours - Vortexswirl.

PS I am struggling to understand the definitions I have added... but they are right as I have copied and checked them for accuracy and I don't think this is a problem as I have provided references?

Ford Taunus V4 engine
Sorry for you, but there never was a 2.0 litre version of this engine.

Hydropower Physics questions
Hi Sonett72,

I am interested in an addition you made to the 'Hydropower' article on the 25th July 2005. In it you added to the 'Physics' sebsection.

I would like to know where you got your source material for this from since I am interested in quantifying the kinetic power of water where there is no significant change in elevation. I am therefore interested in the final equation added to this section in particular (for which I independently derived the same equation).
 * $$P = \frac{1}{2}\,\rho\, A\, v^3.$$

Also, do you know why has the symbol \phi for discharge been replaced by \varphi in later versions of the article?

Thanks,

Replaceable fair use Image:Homokinetic-joint.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Homokinetic-joint.jpg.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Robert J. Sinclair, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process  because of the following concern:
 * Although I do believe that this person's notability could be established, this article would need a fundamental rewrite to make it not read like an obituary.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Punctuation on Mark Twain
Hey man, I can see you want to help, but it is standard (and correct) to have punctuation *inside* the double quote. I don't think you should be changing punctuation in articles to a less standard form. Cratylus3 (talk) 20:27, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Garage doors
Please for goodness sake, if you must keep a photo of your garage doors on Post and lintel, then shut the doors so nobody can see your car or whatever else it is you don't want people to see, and then take a decent high resolution photo of it. An image with that crude blanking only deserves to be deleted. Sorry, but I'm sure you can see some point in this? ProfDEH (talk) 17:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

2003–2004 Liberal Party of Canada infighting

The period between Paul Martin's assumption of the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada (November 14, 2003) and the announcement of the 2004 federal election (May 23, 2004) saw a considerable amount of infighting within the party. The divisions in the Liberal Party, the party's embroilment in the Sponsorship Scandal, and a united Conservative opposition, all combined to end 12 years of Liberal rule in the 2006 federal election.

1990 Convention
Jean Chrétien and Martin squared off in the 1990 leadership convention after Turner announced his pending resignation.

The Meech Lake Accord had been a potentially divisive issue for the Liberals. Trudeau came out of retirement to campaign against the Accord, while Turner and Martin declared their support for it. While Turner had privately opposed many of Trudeau's policies while in Cabinet, Meech Lake was seen as one of the signs of open disagreement among both factions.

Chrétien himself said that he never forgave Martin for some of the "wounds" that the latter inflicted; the most notable was during a leadership debate when Martin supporters shouted "vendu", a French insult meaning sellout.

Although Chrétien won on the first ballot, Martin had a strong second-place showing, which allowed him to force concessions. Martin played a major role in drafting policy during the 1993 federal election. The Liberals, as it turned out, won a landslide majority government, and Martin was appointed to the key post of Minister of Finance.

Chrétien government
The Liberals were re-elected with a razor-thin majority in the 1997 campaign, although they were still by far the largest party in the House of Commons. Several MPs such as Reg Alcock had opposed the timing of the vote, in wake of the devastating Red River Flood in Manitoba. Others felt that it was too early to call an election, since the government had only been in power for three and a half years, and the resulting drop in Liberal support likely undermined confidence in Chrétien's leadership of the party.

Rumours of a division between Chrétien and Martin intensified around the 2000 election, with Martin's supporters wanting to take over before the campaign. However, the party managed to win almost as many seats as in 1993 (at the expense of all the other political parties) persuading Chrétien to stay on. Around this time, Martin had worked throughout this time to position himself as the clear successor to Chrétien, ensuring that most of the institutions of the Liberal Party were controlled by his allies.

Chrétien-Martin split
The dispute between the two men came to a head in the summer of 2002, when Chrétien tried to curtail Martin's open campaigning for the leadership. What ensued is of some debate. Martin claims that he was fired from cabinet by Chrétien, which is what was widely reported in the media, while Chrétien claims that Martin had resigned. In either case, Martin's departure from cabinet aided his leadership campaign since he did not have to disclose donors, unlike Martin's rivals (John Manley, Allan Rock, and Sheila Copps) who were still in cabinet and were thus obliged to follow the rules. Martin's influence and the backlash from his dismissal compelled Chrétien to set a date for his retirement. After Martin's dismissal/resignation, he toured the country campaigning for the leadership while his Liberal organizers prepared to challenge Chrétien during a review vote in January 2003. During the fall, Chrétien announced that he would step down in February 2004 after less than half of caucus agreed to sign a commitment supporting him.

Shortly before Chrétien stepped down, Parliament passed a law that banned parties from accepting campaign contributions from corporations, as well as granting parties a subsidy based on their share of popular vote from the most recent election. While viewed positively among the public as an electoral reform after some early revelations of the sponsorship scandal, Bill C-24 was opposed by many of his own MPs who saw it as a poison pill since it effectively cut off the main source of funding for the Liberals; they had enjoyed the majority of company donations for the last decade due to a fragmented opposition. Party president Stephen LeDrew famously derided Bill C-24 as "dumb as a bag of hammers". While the opposition parties were well poised to reap the benefits of Bill C-24 due to their established grassroots fund raising, the Liberals were caught unprepared for this change. This would hamper them in the 2004 and 2006 campaigns, leaving them in heavy debt.

Martin's Cabinet
In November 2003, Martin was elected as Liberal leader by capturing 3,242 of 3,455 delegates. He had won the leadership almost unopposed, due to his hold on the party machinery, and because Chrétien supporters did not rally around either of Martin's leadership opponents (with Martin's large lead, even most Chrétien supporters grudgingly voted for Martin). Potential contenders Brian Tobin and Allan Rock never formally entered the race, while John Manley dropped out and Sheila Copps received at most marginal support. Martin was sworn in as Prime Minister in December.

While the issue of the party leadership was settled, at the lower levels unprecedented intraparty warfare began. Martin replaced half of Chrétien's ministers, one of the largest cabinet turnovers in Canadian history for a ruling party undergoing a leadership change. Ministers such as John Manley, Allan Rock, Don Boudria, David Collenette, and Sheila Copps, who had played key roles during Chrétien's decade in power, were reduced to minor roles or compelled to take patronage appointments, and many of them decided to retire from politics.

Besides excluding experienced Chrétien supporters from cabinet, Martin also outraged many of them by guaranteeing his star candidates powerful cabinet posts, despite many being newcomers to federal politics.

Several Chrétien loyalists wanted to remain as backbenchers. In some cases, they were defeated in the riding nomination process, with widespread allegations of tampering by Martin supporters. Unlike in previous elections, incumbent Liberals were not automatically granted their local nomination.

Sponsorship Scandal
Chrétien's supporters have suggested that Martin had used the sponsorship scandal as a pretense to remove many Chrétien supporters, such as André Ouellet, Alfonso Gagliano, and Jean Pelletier, from their positions in government, crown corporations, and the party. The Chrétien camp contends that the Gomery commission was set up to make them look bad, and that it was not a fair investigation. The scandal also cast skepticism on Martin's cabinet appointments, prompting speculation Martin was simply ridding the government of Chrétien's supporters to distance the Liberals from the scandal.

The first volume of the Gomery Report, released on November 1, 2005, cleared Martin of any wrongdoing while placing blame for the scandal on Chrétien. However, many have criticized the Gomery Inquiry as not having the scope to assign criminal responsibility for the Scandal or to investigate Martin's role, and indeed some have accused Martin of purposely "tying Gomery's hands." While the Gomery Report: Phase 1 exonerated Martin from responsibility and liability for the misspending of public funds, Chrétien has decided to take an action in Federal Court to review the commission report on the grounds that Gomery showed a "reasonable apprehension of bias", and that some conclusions didn't have an "evidentiary" basis.

The controversy over responsibility for Chrétien's legal fees also proved another potentially divisive issue. Many of Martin's ministers wanted to deny Chrétien and his supporters further federal aid, as it would be criticized by opposition parties and the public alike, though such a position would anger many Chrétien loyalists.

Outgoing minister Reg Alcock did approve a payment of up to $40,000 to assist Jean Pelletier with legal fees in a court challenge against the Gomery Commission after the Liberals were defeated in the 2006 federal election. Representatives of other parties criticized this payment, though Pelletier's lawyer argued that it followed a long-standing government policy for high-ranking functionaries in judicial proceedings.

Public
Formally, Chrétien and Martin have remained publicly respectful of each other; while much of the verbal sparring was between their supporters. After being dismissed or resigning from cabinet, Martin did not comment on the government, as he was focused upon leadership campaigning. At the November 2003 Liberal leadership convention, Chrétien pledged that he would help Martin to win the Liberals' fourth consecutive majority government, while Martin said that many of his initiatives as Finance Minister were credited to Chrétien's support.

At the 2006 leadership convention in Montreal, Martin's final speech as outgoing leader paid tribute to Chrétien, but the latter was not present for the event.

Nomination battles
In Canadian federal politics, would-be electoral candidates will generally seek the nomination of their chosen party within the local constituency. The nominee is chosen by members of the party within the constituency, and consequently the candidates attempt to sign up as many new members as possible to support them prior to the nomination meeting. In previous elections, incumbent Liberal Members of Parliament (MPs) were protected from nomination challenges; this rule was not applied in 2004, especially towards Chrétien supporters. Martin claimed that he wanted to make the process more democratic, but he was heavily criticized when he overruled the new process to parachute in his handpicked star candidates, often against the wishes of the local riding association.

The highest profile battle was in the riding of Hamilton East—Stoney Creek between former Deputy Prime Minister and leadership candidate Sheila Copps and Martin loyalist and newly appointed Minister of Transport Tony Valeri. Copps had been one of the most noted representatives of the party's left wing for over two decades, dating to the party's nadir in the mid-1980s. However, Elections Canada had merged her riding with Valeri's in a way that slightly favoured Valeri. Copps lost the nomination battle, which she blamed on dirty tricks.

In several ridings, the nomination battles resulted in the splitting of the Liberal vote, as disgruntled party members supported the Conservatives, NDP or Bloc, costing the Liberals several otherwise safe seats.

Other battles happened across the country:
 * Charles Caccia, the longest serving MP, was forced out by Martin loyalist Mario Silva; Caccia initially planned to run as an independent candidate against Silva, but bowed out of the race before the election because his candidacy may have split the Liberal vote.
 * In the merged riding of Mississauga—Erindale, Chrétien loyalist Steve Mahoney lost to supposed Martinite Carolyn Parrish. Parrish, contrary to what many believed was not a staunch Martin supporter; Mahoney had initially supported Martin but later opposed the backroom campaigning. He was rewarded with a junior cabinet post near the end of Chrétien's tenure, severing his relations with the Martin camp who then rallied to Parrish's cause. Parrish's anti-US comments endured her to Muslims in her riding, while the Jewish community supported Mahoney. Parrish was later kicked out of the Liberal caucus for further anti-US remarks and she did not seek re-election in 2006.
 * In Ottawa Centre, Penny Collenette chose to not run for the Liberal Party nomination. Martin advisor Richard Mahoney won the nomination and went on to lose to former NDP leader Ed Broadbent.
 * Ottawa South opponents of David McGuinty, brother of Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty, were allegedly given only three days to recruit voters. This proved less controversial since outgoing MP John Manley was a close friend of Premier McGuinty.
 * Incumbent Eugène Bellemare lost the Ottawa—Orléans nomination to Marc Godbout. Godbout won the general election but was defeated in his 2006 reelection bid.
 * Incumbent Ivan Grose lost the Oshawa nomination to Louise Parkes. Parkes finished third, behind eventual winner Conservative Colin Carrie and the NDP's Sid Ryan
 * In the merged riding of Welland, Tony Tirabassi was defeated by John Maloney.
 * In Burnaby—Douglas, Martin supporter Bill Cunningham, a former president of the Liberal Party of Canada (British Columbia), was directly appointed by the party leader without allowing a vote; the entire riding association executive resigned in protest. Cunningham was defeated by NDP's Bill Siksay.
 * Steven Hogue, a Chrétien supporter, was disallowed from running in Chrétien's former riding of Saint-Maurice—Champlain purportedly because Martin wanted women to be nominated in winnable ridings in Quebec. Martin's Quebec lieutenant Jean Lapierre described Hogue as not being a "loyal Liberal". The eventual nominee, Marie-Eve Bilodeau, received support from Chrétien, in one of his few campaign appearances, but Bilodeau was defeated by the Bloc.
 * Lisette Lepage was forced to run in a stronghold of the Bloc Québécois, Charlevoix—Montmorency, because she (as well as two other women) were denied the chance to run in the safe Liberal riding of Beauport as it was reserved for Martin loyalist and former MP Dennis Dawson. Dawson was defeated by a two to one margin.
 * Robert Bertrand who lost to David Smith in the Pontiac riding.

1978–79 snooker world rankings

The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, the governing body for professional snooker, first published official world rankings for players on the main tour for the 1976–77 season. Before this, the defending champion was seeded first, and the previous year's runner-up second, for each tournament.

For the 1978–79 season, players' performances in the previous three World Snooker Championships (1976, 1977, and 1978) contributed to their points total. For each of the three years, the World Champion was awarded five points, the runner-up received four, losing semi-finalists got three, players eliminated in the quarter-finals gained two, and losers in the last-16 round received a single point. If players were level on points, then those gained in the most recent event determined positioning. If this was still equal, then the losing margin on was taken into account.

Ray Reardon retained top place in the rankings from the 1977/1978 listing, with 12 points. Perrie Mans, the 1978 World Championship runner-up, was second, eight places higher than in the previous season's list, on 8 points. Eddie Charlton, who retained third place from the previous year's rankings, and John Spencer, who dropped from second to fourth, also had 8 points. The eight highest-ranked players were placed directly into the last-16 round of the 1979 World Snooker Championship, whilst all other entrants were required to participate in a qualifying competition to produce the eight players to play the exempted seeds.

Rankings
The professional world rankings for the snooker players in the 1978–79 season are listed below. Points gained in each of the three World Snooker Championships are shown, with the total number of points given in the last column. A "–" symbol indicates that the player did not participate in that year's championship.

Shape table

Shape tables are a feature of the Apple II ROMs which allows for manipulation of small images encoded as a series of vectors. An image (or shape) can be drawn in the high-resolution graphics mode—with scaling and rotation—via software routines in the ROM. Shape tables are supported via Applesoft BASIC and from machine code in the "Programmer's Aid" package that was bundled with the original Integer BASIC ROMs for that computer.

Applesoft's high-resolution graphics routines were not optimized for speed, so shape tables were not typically used for performance-critical software such as games, which were typically written in assembly language and used pre-shifted bitmap shapes. Shape tables were used primarily for static shapes and sometimes for fancy text; Beagle Bros offered a number of fonts in Font Mechanic as Applesoft shape tables.

Technical details
The vectors of a two-dimensional graphic, each encoding a direction from the previous pixel along with a flag indicating whether the new pixel should be illuminated or not, were encoded up to three in a byte. These were stored in a table via the Monitor or the  command. From there, the graphic could be referenced by number (a table could contain up to 255 shapes), and built-in Applesoft routines permitted scaling, rotating, and drawing or erasing the shape. An XOR mode was also available to allow the shape to be visible on any color background; this had the advantage, also, of allowing the shape to be easily erased by redrawing it.

Apple did not provide any utilities for creating shape tables; they had to be created by hand, usually by plotting on graph paper, then calculating the hexadecimal values and entering them into the computer. Beagle Bros created a shape table editing program, which eliminated the "number crunching", called Apple Mechanic, and a related program, Font Mechanic.

1979–80 snooker world rankings

The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA), the governing body for professional snooker, first published official world rankings for players on the main tour for the 1976–77 season. Before this, for each tournament the defending champion was seeded first, and the previous year's runner-up second.

For the 1979/1980 ranking list, players' performances in the previous three World Snooker Championships (1977, 1978 and 1979) contributed to their points total. For each of the three years, the World Champion gained five points, the runner-up received four, losing semi-finalists got three, losing quarter-finalists got two, and losers in the last-16 round received a single point. Ray Reardon retained top place in the rankings from the 1978/1979 listing, with 12 points.

The day following the 1979 World Championship, on 29 April, the WPBSA voted that only two players would receive direct entry into the last 16 of the 1980 World Championship: the 1979 champion Terry Griffiths and runner-up Dennis Taylor. This resolution was poorly received by the BBC, who televised the championship, and by tournament sponsors Embassy; both organisations were concerned that star players could be eliminated before the televised stage. The Professional Snooker Association (PSA), formed soon after the meeting, challenged the decision. The PSA included many leading players, and had Reardon, John Spencer and snooker agent Del Simmonds as directors. According to Griffiths, both he and Taylor joined the PSA in "solidarity". Within weeks, the next meeting of the WPBSA voted to revert to the previous system, where the top eight players in the rankings were exempted to the last 16 of the world championship, and the players ranked nine to 16 would each be exempted to the first round (last 24) where they would each face a player from the qualifying competition. At the meeting which backed reverting to the previous system for the world championship, the WPBSA also determined that the world champion would be the top seed for the UK Championship, with the defending UK champion as second seed. A subsequent WPBSA decision to seed all players for the 1979 UK Championship except the world champion based on the results from the 1977 and 1978 UK championships was reversed at the request of the tournament sponsors, Coral.

The professional world rankings for the snooker players in the 1979–80 season are listed below. Points gained in each of the three World Snooker Championships are shown, with the total number of points given in the last column.

Talk:Piano Sonata No. 11 (Mozart)

Movement Title
I just changed "Minuetto" and "Marcia alla Turca" back to "Menuetto" and "Rondo alla Turca", which is how it was before and how it is in my version of the sheet music. However, my edition isn't a great one, and if there's an Urtext or something which gives "Minuetto" and "Marcia", then that's what we should say, of course (though probably with a note that "Rondo", while common, is actually wrong). --Camembert

WRONG.... the rondo is the third movmt so it should be called "Rondo Alla Turka(turca)"

 * The Term Marcia and Alla Turca are basically synonymous. They both mean march.  Alla Turca is a Turkish March.  So Marcia alla Turca is Turkish March March.
 * [Per history, contrib on 21:58, 16 June 2005 from User:71.32.2.252. Text preserved, but refactored by 'graphs by Jerzy·t 30 June 2005 02:04 (UTC).]
 * Uh, the two words are Italian. "Alla" means "in the manner of". "Turca" means "[the] Turk". The reference is to the real or fancied resemblence to the marches of the Ottoman janissaries, something of a fascination in Austria (or central and western Europe) at the time. So yes, standing alone in a musical context, "Alla Turca" would have then and may still be understood as implying either a march or something connected to a march. But "Marcia" and "Alla Turca" were and are far from "basically synonymous". (Notably since one means march and the could other apply only to Turkish and pseudo-Turkish marches, but more to the point:) The suggestion that "Marcia alla Turca" is wrong because it is as redundant as "Turkish March March" is absurd: "Yankees" implies "New York Yankees", but that doesn't make "New York Yankees" mean "New York New York Yankees"!  The extent of redundancy in "Marcia alla Turca" is merely a matter of being complete enough to make clear to the less well informed that the Turkish style of march (rather than dance, seranade, or hookah-trance music) is being invoked.  (And to rule out, for the more clearly thinking, its being what "Alla Turca" could equally well describe (to choose an example at random [wink]), a rondo reminiscent of a Turkish march.)
 * "Marcia alla Turca" is wrong here (see below), but not for that reason.
 * --Jerzy·t 30 June 2005 02:04 (UTC)
 * Yes, urtexts need apply only at the afterthot window. The criterion in this case is the commonly accepted name, "Rondo alla Turca".
 * If someone wants to mention that it was "Marcia alla Turca" on the original autograph manuscript, or on the copyist's fair copy for the publisher, or on the publisher's engraving for the first edition, or whatever, they can boldly edit it in below the list of the common-sense names of the movements. (But avoid the unencyclopedically vague language "actually wrong".)
 * --Jerzy·t 30 June 2005 02:04 (UTC)

Rondo or March?
I changed the bolded common name to "Turkish Rondo" from "Turkish March" - because isn't the piece most commonly known (in the English speaking world, anyway) as the "Turkish March" an actual march piece by Beethoven? Ellsworth 22:49, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Brubeck
Is Brubeck's "Blue Rondo a la Turk" really a version of this? It's clearly inspired by it, but it's a stretch to say that they're essentially the same piece... Ellsworth 22:56, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Brubeck's "Blue Rondo a la Turk" is inspired, but not a version. Brubeck actually borrowed the name because his band was touring in Turkey when they composed it, and he also used the Traditional Turkish meter or 9/8.
 * [Per history, contrib on 21:58, 16 June 2005 from User:71.32.2.252. Text preserved, but refactored by 'graphs by Jerzy·t 30 June 2005 02:04 (UTC).]
 * Presumably "the Traditional Turkish meter or 9/8" means "9/8, a traditional Turkish meter".
 * It's hard to imagine Brubeck just happened to choose such a closely analogous title: surely he knew of the Mozart title. But describing a clever but straighforward choice of title as "inspired" is unnecessary and confusing.
 * Boldly edited in instead:
 * Jazz musician Dave Brubeck named his own famous Turkish-influenced work with a nearly parallel title, "Blue Rondo a la Turk".
 * --Jerzy·t 30 June 2005 02:04 (UTC)

ah, no

Civilization 2...
I seem to remember that this piece was used in Sid Meier's Civilization II as the theme for the Germans... should this be added as "Trivia"?

 * Hello, anonymous - Well, it would seem that this is a fact not about the rondo, but about Civilization II. Why not enter it there?  Be sure to confirm your observation first; it would really be bad to put something into an encyclopedia if you only "seem to remember" it.

 * I hope this helps.  Opus33 01:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

In popular culture section?
Should there be one? After all, if nothing else it is in the Truman Show (at least the third bit). Very famous piece.18:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

 * It's also one of the musics in Lemmings; coincidentally, the music for Level 11, the same number as the sonata. 91.105.62.65 11:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

It also appears in the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mothe as the introductory peice when Barney describes a play to use a on a girl from his playbook — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.170.127.255 (talk) 02:10, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

authorship comment reverted
I removed this edit because it was uncited: "Some say that that the last section of the sonata was added by Mozart's student, Sussymayer." This is too popular and familiar a piece to insert such a bold statement in a "some say that" manner. If it turns out this is true, we'll need a citation. Thanks.DavidRF (talk) 16:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Imporvisation in the piece.
Is not there an imporvisation part or something in the piece and several vertions of it, I think something should be mentioned about it.
 * I've never heard of that. The official NMA score is linked.  Provide a movement and measure number for the part you are talking about.DavidRF (talk) 19:05, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Allegrino
I have the Wiener Urtext Edition of this piece and it lists the tempo of the third movement as "Allegrino". According to the critical notes that's how it appears in the original edition. - Gus (T, C) 2010-10-20 01:34Z
 * ... which is a "small allegro", just like allegretto: Both are Italian diminutives. I am at a loss to describe the difference (except that nowadays, only allegretto is used). Someone? --User:Haraldmmueller 10:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Key of final movement
I changed this from A major to A minor (in which it opens) and major (in which it ends). Kostaki mou (talk) 00:09, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Homotonal? Statement in lead
The lead says "All of the movements are in the key of A major or A minor." Is this strictly correct? The movements all start in A, but the trio in the minuet and trio of the second movement is in D major. --Wikitoov (talk) 11:25, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, its correct. A movement's key is the one that's established in the initial part of the form... not the one in the trio, development, introduction, etc.DavidRF (talk) 02:40, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Rondo Alla Turca was used by the Turkish people for dances and parties (completely made this up). The editor of this page does not know how to spell improvisational. Don't trust every source! You may just stumble upon one like this one and realise the internet can't be trusted completely.

Questionable link between Rondo and variations in 1st movement.
Referring to this:

 * The third movement is related to the first one, because its beginning can be seen as an additional variation of the theme of the first movement, varied in the Janissary style.

I simply don't think it's true, and I can see nothing in the music that supports it. Can I just remove this?

The main argument against regarding the first theme of the Rondo as a variation of the Theme in the first movement is that the first half of the Rondo theme clearly moves to the dominant key (E minor) and ends there, whereas the corresponding section in the variation Theme ends in the tonic (A major, and A minor in the minor-key variation). Other modulations, such as those in the second half of the respective themes, do not correspond, either - not even when you consider the minor-key variation, this being the one you'd expect to have the closest relationship with the minor-key Rondo theme.

To my mind, unless someone can show compelling correspondences between the two themes I've somehow missed, these two themes are not particularly related at all.

Another thing is that, at this time in musical history, it was quite uncommon for links between separate movements of a sonata or symphony to be put in. Beethoven made a tentative step in this direction occasionally, but it was mainly later composers like Liszt, Franck, Saint-Saens, Scriabin, and lots of late romantics, who did this in a big way - not Mozart or others of his era.

So I'm tempted to remove this remark, and will consider whether to or not. Does anyone object? M.J.E. (talk) 08:23, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Long gone :-) --User:Haraldmmueller 14:28, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Relationships to later compositions
User:Doniago that the following 2 sentences constitute original research and must be removed from the article: "The theme of the first movement was used by Max Reger in his Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart (1914) for orchestra. Dave Brubeck's 'Blue Rondo à la Turk' (1959) is not based on or related to the last movement, 'Alla Turca'." I think that is an unnecessarily narrow view of WP:OR. Both assertions may not rise to the level of self-evidence that "Paris is the capital of France." provides. However, an inspection of the respective primary sources (the scores or recordings) to the permissible extent mentioned in WP:PRIMARY ("to describe the plot" ) will confirm both assertions. What's the alternative? I suggest to restore that section. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:15, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you have any grounds for claiming the assertions in the sentences are true beyond "I believe them to be"? Additionally the first sentence should have sourcing that establishes that the usage is significant in some manner. Otherwise why is the usage there any more important than any other usage? And why is it important that another piece of music is not based on this piece? These are questions that sources would help to answer. Regards. DonIago (talk) 12:26, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Is it reasonable to challenge the assertion that anyone can identify the connection between a work named Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart and Mozart's K. 331 by listening to both? Is it reasonable to request that some manner of significant link be established between a work whose title directly refers to Mozart? On the other hand, it is reasonable to expect that a piece whose most famous section is often called "Rondo alla Turca" and another called "Blue Rondo à la Turk" are believed to be related to each other, and it is helpful to point out that they aren't. To repeat my main point, which you didn't address: inspection of the respective primary sources (the scores or recordings) to the permissible extent mentioned in WP:PRIMARY ("to describe the plot" ) will confirm both assertions. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:13, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * To use an analogy, I believe what you're saying is similar to claiming that one could confirm by inspection of many Simpsons episodes that they're "obviously" referencing Citizen Kane. We don't, however, make a point of listing every reference to Citizen Kane that The Simpsons makes. Rather, in accordance with WP:IPC and to avoid any potential original research issues, we focus on the references that garnered third-party attention, which we establish via sourcing.

Ricce: "Menuetto" may not be used anymore in present-day Italian, but it was used in Mozart's day and cannot therefore be regarded as incorrect. Kostaki mou (talk) 13:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Third movement is not a rondo
The first edition (Artaria, 1784) as well as urtext editions Barenreiter (1986) et Peters (1938) do not mention "rondo" anywhere.

Additionally, the musical form of the third movement is not a rondo. It is a compound ternary form with a bridge (C) between each of the ternary forms and a coda (F):

[A B A'] C [D E D'] C [A B A'] C' F

Note that with repeats the structure becomes:

[(A A) (B A' B A')] C C [(D D) (E D' E D')] C C [(A A) (B A' B A')] C' C' F

Therefore, nothing justifies the name rondo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.59.42.236 (talk) 21:49, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The movement sounds like a rondo and acts like one: the main themes constantly repeat parts of themselves, are repeated often with (almost) no change, the structure is determinedly sectional, and the only section outside the tonic is in the relative minor, a form of the subdominant. So we can see that it absorbs many features of the rondo. A strict taxonomy of classical forms based on strict separations of "binary", "ternary", "sonata", "rondo" and so on is usually unhelpful. Double sharp (talk) 12:46, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, I disagree with you. The main characteristic of Rondos is an alternation between a main theme and other material. This is not the case here at all: the main theme only returns at the end (before a coda). The only section repeated three times is the bridge. Since this small section doesn't function as the main theme, the piece cannot qualify as a Rondo. That the structure is sectional doesn't imply a rondo. Scherzos, minuets, large ternary forms are also sectional. Finally, let me repeat again that Mozart didn't call this piece Rondo, which he usually does when he write rondos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB15:8049:F900:DAA2:5EFF:FE8B:4953 (talk) 20:44, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I would argue that the "rondo refrain" of this movement is not the two-strain A minor theme with which it begins, but rather the one-strain A major theme that follows it--the one labelled "C" in the diagram above. In other words, I think the one you're calling a "bridge" is indeed the main theme. If we call this theme "A" instead, we end up with the following: B-A-C-A-B-A-coda, where B is the two-strain A minor theme and C is the two-strain F-sharp minor theme in the middle. This is essentially a conventional seven-part rondo, but with the very unconventional trait of having the initial refrain excised. If you think of it this way, it looks quite normal: [A]-B-A-C-A-B-A-coda, with the key scheme [A]-a-A-f#-A-a-A. This probably counts as original research and thus not suitable for the article itself, but I did want to put this here to say that I think classifying it as a rondo isn't wrong. 2601:180:8301:540:B4F3:84F3:99BB:3976 (talk) 01:50, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Canadian Bacon

Canadian Bacon is a 1995 comedy film written, produced, and directed by Michael Moore which satirizes Canada–United States relations along the Canada–United States border. The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Alan Alda, John Candy (in his final film role), Bill Nunn, Kevin J. O'Connor, Rhea Perlman, Kevin Pollak, G. D. Spradlin, and Rip Torn. It tells the story of a struggling President who is persuaded by his confidantes to fight with Canada,   when a local sheriff and his friends get involved.

The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, and was the final film released starring John Candy, though it was shot before the earlier-released Wagons East as both films are dedicated in memory of him. It is also Moore's only non-documentary film to date.

Plot
In Niagara Falls, New York, thousands of former employees are outraged with military businessman R. J. Hacker having closed down his weapons manufacturing plant, Hacker Dynamics. Local sheriff Bud Boomer and his deputy/girlfriend Honey then prevent a despondent former Hacker employee, Roy Boy, from committing suicide at Niagara Falls.

At a conference held at Hacker Dynamics, Hacker pins the blame for the shutdown of his business on the President of the United States, who has just arrived. The President defends his own belief that the future of the children is more important than war which has caused major decline in his approval rating.

After the press conference, The President confides in General Dick Panzer and National Security Advisor Stuart Smiley (who is revealed to have ties with Hacker) that he's unhappy about not having an enemy to engage with. An attempted negotiation with Russian President Vladimir Kruschkin to start a new cold war with Russia fails and the President's suggestion of a war on international terrorism is deemed too absurd.

Later that night, Bud Boomer offensively criticizes Canadian beer while attending a hockey game with Honey, Roy Boy, and deputy sheriff Kabral Jabar between the neighboring nations in Niagara Falls, Ontario causing a brawl to break out. The ensuing riot ends up on the news the next day and catches Stuart's attention which led to everyone getting detained overnight. In turn, Stuart collects more information about Canada from a CIA agent named Gus and suggests Canada as their new enemy during a cabinet meeting.

Before long, U.S. television channels are littered with anti-Canada propaganda which Boomer believes wholeheartedly. He prepares for war by distributing guns to his fellow sheriffs, Honey, Roy Boy, and Kabral Jabar. He also helps form a local militia. After they apprehend a group of Americans "dressed as Canadians" attempting to destroy a hydroelectric plant despite Gus's protests that they are just Americans, they sneak across the border to litter on Canadian lands which leads to Honey being arrested by the Mounties. In a rescue attempt, Boomer, Roy Boy, and Kabral sneak into a Canadian power plant and cause a countrywide blackout. When the President learns of this, Stuart orders the Omega Force to remove Boomer from Canada before it is too late.

Seeking revenge on the President for shutting down his business, Hacker uses a software program ("Hacker Hellstorm") to activate missile silos across the country. The President learns that the signal causing the activation of the silos originated from Canada, and summons Hacker. Hacker offers to sell a program to the President that can cancel out the Hellstorm—for $1 trillion. Fed up with the President being too busy to give Hacker the money, Stuart realizes that Hacker, getting up to leave, is the one controlling the silos, not Canada. After storming up, Stuart takes the operating codes from him required to stop the Hellstorm while accidentally killing Hacker in the process. The still busy President orders Stuart's arrest despite his protests that he is now able to give the codes to the President so they could deactivate the missiles which are aimed at Moscow. As the US government loses contact with Omega Force and as the launch time approaches, the President pleads with Canadian Prime Minister Clark MacDonald over the phone to stop the launch.

Meanwhile, Honey was taken to a hospital upon her capture and escaped all the way to the CN Tower. She discovers the central computer for the Hellstorm and destroys it with a machine gun, aborting the launch sequence. Honey then reunites with Boomer and they return to the United States on a speedboat. Before the final shot of Boomer and Honey's speedboat unknowingly heading towards the waterfall is shown, an epilogue reveals the characters' fates:

 * Boomer realizes his dream of appearing on Cops.
 * Honey is named "Humanitarian of the Year" by the National Rifle Association of America.
 * The President was defeated in the next election by a large landslide and now hosts Get Up, Cleveland.
 * Stuart served eight months in prison, but was pardoned by the new President Oliver North.
 * General Panzer committed suicide by gunshot after learning that Hogan's Heroes was fictional.
 * Hacker's body has been viewed daily at the Republican National Headquarters from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
 * Gus was last spotted heading to Mexico in a tank.
 * Kabral has become a hockey star, winning the Hart Memorial Trophy three years in a row. It was then shown that it was ironically for the Toronto Maple Leafs as his hockey card shows him playing for them.
 * Roy Boy's whereabouts are unknown.
 * MacDonald is "still ruling with an iron fist".

Production
Moore was inspired by the pro-war sentiment and 90% approval rating for President George H. W. Bush at the time of the Gulf War and wondered if the president could gain public support for war on any country, even Canada.

The film was shot in fall 1993, in Toronto, Hamilton, and Niagara Falls, Ontario; and Buffalo and Niagara Falls, New York. Scenes depicting the rapids of the Niagara River were actually filmed at Twelve Mile Creek in St. Catharines. Parkwood Estate in Oshawa was the site for the White House, and Dofasco in Hamilton was the site for Hacker Dynamics. The scene where the American characters look longingly home at the US across the putative Niagara River is them looking across Burlington Bay at Stelco steelworks in Hamilton, Ontario.

The hockey game and riot were shot at the Niagara Falls Memorial Arena in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and the actors portraying the police officers (who eventually join in the riot upon hearing "Canadian beer sucks") are wearing authentic Niagara Regional Police uniforms.

Originally, Polygram had arranged for the film to be released by MGM in the fall of 1994. However, Polygram later started its own distribution company, Gramercy, with Universal Pictures in the summer of 1993, and battled with MGM to get the distribution rights back from them. Gramercy ultimately gave the film a limited release in 1995 before essentially taking it straight to video. Today, MGM now owns the film through their acquisition of the pre-1996 Polygram library.

The film has numerous cameos by Canadian actors, including Dan Aykroyd, who appears uncredited as an Ontario Provincial Police officer who pulls Candy over (not for the crude anti-Canadian graffiti on his truck, but its lack of a French translation; Boomer dutifully sprays his truck in French graffiti). Moore himself appears as an American gun nut. Cameo pictures of Canadian-American American actors in Propaganda are Michael J. Fox; Lorne Greene and Alex Trebek.

Reception
Canadian Bacon received unfavorable reviews by critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 17% based on reviews from 18 critics.

The A.V. Club's Nathan Rabin in a 2009 review concluded, "After generating solid laughs during its first hour, Canadian Bacon falls apart in its third act," lamenting the film "was perceived as too lowbrow for the highbrows, and too highbrow for the lowbrows."

David Taylor (snooker player)

David Taylor (born 29 July 1943) is an English former professional snooker player. He won the World and English Amateur Championships in 1968, before the success of those wins encouraged him to turn professional. He was nicknamed "The Silver Fox" because of his prematurely grey hair.

Career
Taylor reached three major finals, but lost them all. The first was the 1978 UK Championship in 1978 (he lost to Doug Mountjoy 9–15). Then, in 1981, he lost to Steve Davis in the Yamaha Organs Trophy (later the British Open) 6–9, and he lost 6–9 to Tony Knowles in the 1982 Jameson International. The last of these was his only ranking event final; the others would be ranking events in the future but were not at the time he reached the final. In the quarter-finals of this event he beat the then World Champion, Steve Davis 5–3. Three times a defeated quarter-finalist, his best performance in the World Championship was at the 1980 event, when he lost to Cliff Thorburn 7–16 in the semi-final having beaten the number one seed and 6 times World Champion Ray Reardon 13–11 in the quarter-final. His only major tournament win was with Steve Davis and John Spencer during the 1981 State Express World Team Classic for the England team. He was a member of the elite Top 16 World Rankings for 10 consecutive years until the 1985/86 season, reaching a high of No 7 in the 1981/82 season.

He made a surprise return to enter the 2010 World Snooker Championship qualifying rounds, aged 66 but lost to Paul Wykes 1–5 in Match 2 on 26 February 2010.

Outside snooker
He was one of the two commentators during Steve Davis's first televised maximum break. After his career wound down he ran a hotel.

He currently runs a guest house with his wife in Little Bollington near Altrincham in Cheshire.

He was the first snooker player to pot all balls in the final round of BBC snooker gameshow Big Break.
