Discussion header
This statement in the 04:57, 4 May 2004  version is probably incorrect

 * Natural ice wines require a hard frost (roughly 9 degrees C)...

Nine degrees C is above the freezing point of water, and thus would not create either frost or icewine. Perhaps it should say -9 degrees C rather than (+)9 degrees C. Hopefully someone more knowledgable than me can either confirm or correct this.

I'm no expert on it, but it did say "hard frost", so I went ahead and changed what was clearly wrong to what was probably right. - Hephaestos|§ 03:23, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Ad
"A wide selection of Icewines is available online, with worldwide delivery through http://www.icewineniagara.net" - Do we need the advertisment? ~ bbglas007 06:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope. It's removed. Tomas e (talk) 20:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

It is changed to a statement no more promotional than:

Niagara-on-the-Lake's Inniskillin is traditionally considered the leading Icewine producer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.104.132 (talk) 18:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Since the statement included a link to the producer's web site, I removed it. Please refer to WP:EL for Wikipedia's policy on external links - as a general rule: no external links in the article body, and no commercial linkspam. Tomas e (talk) 21:03, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Headline Breaks
The article seemed jumbled and clustered so I tried adding some breaks. It's far from perfect but maybe some more tweaking by other sets of eyes will make it flow better Agne27 17:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)Agne27

One word or two?
Should it be ice wine or icewine? Because at the moment both are used in the article, so it could use a little uniformity.--24.203.61.236 19:17, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe that "ice wine" is more common but both are in common use. Rmhermen 14:18, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Specifically, "icewine" is used by VQA wineries under a set of regulations that closely follows Germany's regs for eiswein. I believe they have the exclusive right to "icewine" in Canada, something labeled "ice wine" could be the result of cryoextraction of non-Canadian grapes. Therefore I think that "ice wine" is the generic term and "icewine" is the term used when discussing the real Canadian stuff. But I'm just an American, we don't even make real ice wine. Wnissen 14:50, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, we do - at least in Michigan and New York. Rmhermen 15:27, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Huh! I've had a pretty good example from Ohio made from late-picked grapes that were frozen, but didn't know there was anyone in the U.S. with the proper climate. Wnissen 13:44, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The climates of the Ontario, New York, northern Ohio and Michigan wine regions are all rather similar, moderated by the Great Lakes or the Finger Lakes but still pretty cold. Rmhermen 22:18, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

Icewine is a legally protected term (like Kleenex and Frisbee and Hoover) for ice wine that is grown to pretty rigourous VQA standards in Canada. Only Canadian Icewine may be called "Icewine" just as only German and Austrian ice wines may be called "Eiswein". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philcheevers (talk • contribs) 00:30, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That is true in Canada and the EU but not worldwide. Rmhermen (talk) 03:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Usually vs unusually
Those consistent freezes are usual for Canada but unusual for grape producing regions. So isn't there a better way to word that sentence? --132.206.150.33 18:03, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree, perhaps something such as "Canada has usually consistent freezes in winter, which is quite odd for a wine producing region, and such has become the largest producer of icewine in the world". but that seems too long.

strength
I've not heard of these wines before. I was just wondering, if it's more concentrated and sweeter, I'dve thought it would end up stronger in %alcohol than normal wine. Does anyone know whhy it doesn't? Me rk i n s m um  02:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually it is normally the opposite. The Fermentation (wine) articles goes into more of the nitty gritty details but essentially fermenting anywine, including ice wine, is the process of converting sugar into alcohol. So in simple terms, generally the sweeter the wine the less alcohol in the wine. In the case of sweet fortified wines like Port wine, extra alcohol is actually added to the wine to boost the strength. Hope that helps. AgneCheese/Wine 02:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

weakness:

For some odd reason information that is primarily about Inniskillin’s winery is completely dominating this article. I think it is unfair to mention so much about Inniskillin and so little about the world's current leaders in the Icewine industry (such as other high-quality Icewine producers in the Niagara Region). This entire article about Icewine should just be called "Inniskillin's-Icewine-Page", because this article barely discusses any of the world's other Icewine producers. Congratulations Inniskillin on pioneering Icewine in Niagara and introducing it to the world, but it's time to share a little of the spotlight and acknowledge the other hard-working wineries that are right there beside you helping to build the high-quality image of Icewine around the world.
 * Have you actually read the entire article, because it doesn't really say what you claim? The reason why Inniskillin is mentioned several times in the second half of the "History" section is because of their fairly large pioneering role, as documented in the multiple references given. But take notice, this article clearly states that they weren't really first (as a careless reading of some shallow sources could led you to believe), so I don't understand the complaint. The Canadian history section really has this length to illustrate some "hobby production" and the "false starts" that led on to the commercially successful Icewine production of the various Canadian regions. Tomas e (talk) 14:17, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Forgive me for trying to add new information to your wikipedia-page on Icewine. I simply wanted to contribute something about my grandparent's winery to this wikipedia-page. I am a grandson of Mr.Pillitteri and I don't think I've ever added anything to advertise my grandparent's winery on wikipedia. All of the information I've added has always been referenced from creditable and non-biased online sources. The few additions I've added to wikipedia on this webpage are brief, very factual, fit-in extremely well with the overall article and most importantly they do not dominate the Icewine article. I noticed another reader's complaint on the DISCUSSION-page about Inniskillin’s redundant and overwhelming presence on this wikipedia-page about Icewine. How is it that there is allowed to be so much "information/advertising" about Inniskillin’s winery but if I try and add new and noteworthy information about my grandparent's winery or other Icewine producers such as Henry of Pelham Winery it is immediately discredited and removed? To put it simply, my input into the Icewine-page on wikipedia is not advertising, it’s simply factual and informative about the ever changing and growing Icewine Industry. If advertising is truly unacceptable on wikipedia then there is absolutely no reason why Inniskillin’s promotional-homepage (www.inniskillin.com) should be accepted as a creditable source in the reference section of this article on Icewine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richnotl (talk • contribs) 07:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Considering your connection to the text you have insisted on inserting to the article, it would be a good idea for you to read WP:COI. The text you keep trying to add contains words considered not in wikipedia's best interest while aiming for a neutral point of view, belonging to a vocabulary called peacock terms. Also, deleting references or attributing text to a reference which doesn't back it up, is not ok. M URGH   disc.  23:36, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

apple ice wine
Hi.

Apparently, there is also ice wine made from apples. I just saw some at a local farm in Massachusetts. Here is the product's website: http://www.stillriverwinery.com/appleicewine.html. I have no idea how widespread this type of wine is. Just a FYI for interested folks. – ishwar  (speak)  00:37, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Evaluating Your Wikipedia Page
Everything in the article is relevant to the article topic. And I like the tone of page. The article is neutral. And the citations which are the links for Wikipedia pages is supporting the claims in article. My only advice for improvement can be about the citations for paragraphs. It is hard to understand where does the information come from for paragraphs. Asude Guvener (talk) 23:16, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Dr. Loosen's wine
This wine is not from Rhine Palatinate (Rheinpfalz), but from Rheingau. There is even a third wine region in Germany whose name begins with the word Rhine (Rhein), Rheinhessen. Easy to get confused ... 91.64.60.214 (talk) 18:53, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Roland SH-1000

The Roland SH-1000, introduced in 1973, was the first compact synthesizer produced in Japan, and the first synthesizer produced by Roland. It resembles a home organ more than a commercial synth, with coloured tabs labelled with descriptions of its presets and of the "footage" of the divide-down oscillator system used in its manually editable synthesizer section. It produced electronic sounds that many professional musicians sought after whilst being easier to obtain and transport than its Western equivalents.

The synthesizer has 10 simple preset voices combined with a manually editable section which can be manually tweaked around to create new interesting sounds. No user program memory is available. Its effects include white noise generator, portamento, octave transposition, two low frequency oscillators and a random note generator.

Even with a single oscillator, it sounds like there are several thanks to the 8 sub-osc keys. The ninth is the (white or pink) noise.

Tony Kanal

Tony Ashwin Kanal (born 27 August 1970) is a British-American musician, songwriter and record producer who is known for his work as the bassist and co-writer for the rock bands No Doubt and Dreamcar. His career outside of performing includes production and songwriting credits with artists such as Pink, Weezer, Elan Atias and No Doubt lead singer Gwen Stefani's solo work.

Early life
Kanal was born in Kingsbury, in northwest London, England. Kanal's father, Gulab was from Sukkur (in present-day Sindh, Pakistan) and grew up in Delhi, India and his mother, Lajwanti "Lajju", was originally from Mumbai (then known as Bombay). His parents emigrated to London, where Kanal was born. While most of his early years were spent in the British capital city, Kanal and his family briefly lived in Toronto, Ontario and Munster, Indiana, before returning to London. At age 11, his family moved to the United States, settling in Anaheim, Orange County, California. Kanal attended South Junior High School and Anaheim High School. Upon entering seventh grade, Kanal joined his junior high school concert band. Kanal's father suggested that Kanal learn to play the saxophone because it was his favorite instrument. In tenth grade, Kanal learned how to play the electric bass guitar with help from his schoolmate, David J. Carpenter.

Early beginnings and No Doubt
After being invited to No Doubt's first official club show on 14 March 1987, by original drummer and fellow Anaheim High School alumnus Chris Webb, Kanal joined the band as its bassist at age 16. After high school, Kanal enrolled at California State University, Fullerton to major in psychology.

In 1991, No Doubt signed with Interscope Records and began recording their first full-length album. Their self-titled debut was released in 1992; that same year, they embarked on three U.S. van tours, playing clubs and theaters. Over the next decade, No Doubt released the follow-up albums Tragic Kingdom (1995), The Beacon Street Collection (1995), Return of Saturn (2000), Rock Steady (2001), as well as two compilation albums, The Singles 1992–2003 (2003) and Everything in Time: B-Sides, Rarities, Remixes (2004). The band toured the world and earned several awards, including two Grammy Awards and 5 MTV Music Video Awards.

2004–2014: No Doubt hiatus, writing, and producing
In 2004, after touring the U.S. to promote The Singles 1992–2003, No Doubt went on hiatus. During this time, Kanal began producing and writing outside of the band. The same year, Kanal produced three songs for the soundtrack to 50 First Dates. Also in 2004, Kanal produced and co-wrote three tracks on Gwen Stefani's first solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. Kanal then produced Elan Atias's debut album Together as One, released in June 2006. Kanal worked with Gwen Stefani for her follow-up solo album The Sweet Escape, released in 2006.

He created several remixes, including ones of Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" and Gang of Four's "Ether". Kanal produced the song "Rent" for the ska punk band Pepper's 2006 album No Shame.

In 2008, he collaborated on two songs titled "Sober" and "Funhouse" with Pink for her album Funhouse. Kanal also co-wrote the song "Smart Girls" for Weezer's 2010 album Hurley.

In 2010, Kanal co-wrote, produced, and performed bass on the track "Kiss You Up", recorded by Barbadian artist Shontelle for her album No Gravity.

With Stefani promoting her second solo album, No Doubt began work on an album without her and planned to complete it after Stefani's tour was finished. In March 2008, the band started making posts concerning the progression of the album on their official fan forum. Stefani made a post on 28 March 2008 stating that songwriting had begun but was slow on her end because she was pregnant with her second child.

The band toured in 2009 for their first full-fledged band tour in nearly five years. The North American 2009 Summer Tour was the band's largest tour, playing over 50 shows.

In 2009, No Doubt made an appearance on the television series Gossip Girl, playing a fictional band named Snowed Out in the episode "Valley Girls". They performed their cover version of the Adam and the Ants song "Stand and Deliver". In 2010, the band performed at the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the life's work of Paul McCartney. Their performance was attended by President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

In 2012, No Doubt released Push and Shove, their latest release. They performed seven sold-out shows in Los Angeles at the Universal Amphitheater. In 2014 and 2015, they played the Global Citizens Festivals in New York City and Washington, D.C., and headlined music festivals in the United States.

2014–present: Dreamcar and other bands
In 2014, Kanal and No Doubt bandmates Tom Dumont and Adrian Young, along with Davey Havok of AFI, formed the band Dreamcar. They released their debut self-titled album through Columbia Records in 2017 and toured the U.S. to support it, including performances at the Coachella Festival.

In October 2018, Kanal joined Danny Elfman during the encore of his three Nightmare Before Christmas shows at the Hollywood Bowl to play Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party". On 31 October, Kanal performed a set of eight Red Hot Chili Peppers songs with musicians Adam Levine, Chad Smith, Andrew Watt, and Darren Criss at Maroon 5's annual Halloween party in Los Angeles.

In December 2018, Kanal played bass for The Offspring on their Australian festival headline tour. In January 2019, Kanal joined the band for their tour in Japan.

Personal life
Kanal dated bandmate Gwen Stefani from 1987 to 1994. They continued to have a creative relationship after they broke up which led to many of No Doubt's songs, most notably "Don't Speak". Many years later, Stefani co-wrote her song "Cool" about their relationship as friends for her 2004 debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

Kanal is married to American home designer Erin Lokitz. On 24 January 2011, their first daughter, Coco Reese Lakshmi Kanal was born. On 22 November 2013, their second daughter, Saffron Rose Kiran Kanal was born.

Kanal is a vegan and animal rights activist. In addition to promoting and speaking publicly about animal rights issues, he has supported animal rights organizations including Farm Sanctuary, LA Animal Save, and Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation, Supporting The Fur Ban and has done numerous hen rescues with Animal Place.

Musical equipment
Kanal endorses Yamaha basses which he runs through Gallien-Krueger heads into Ampeg cabinets.

E. C. Dahls Brewery

E.C. Dahls Brewery (E.C. Dahls Bryggeri) is a brewery  and soft drink factory based in Trondheim, Norway.

History
E.C. Dahls Brewery was founded in 1856 by Erich Christian Dahl (1814–1882), a local businessman and consul-general from Trondheim. He was the son of Erich Dahl (1774-1821) Christine Lyche (1776-1861). His parents had been the owners of an import-export business and shipping company. In 1851, Erich Christian Dahl had bought  the Sugarhouse (Sukkerhuset) in the Kalvskinnet   area of Trondheim, where there had been a sugar refinery since 1754. Sukkerhuset was rebuilt for brewing. The brewery stayed in the building until 1984.

The first bottle of Bayerøl, a Munich-style dunkel, was sold in 1857. In 1910, the plant began to produce soft drinks at the brewery as well. Bayerøl was the most important type of beer until the early 20th century when Dahls Pils, a pilsener took over as the most popular beer.

In 1966, it was merged with Trondheim Aktie Brewery (Trondhjems Aktiebryggeri), which was founded in 1899 and Trondheim Brewery (Trondhjems Bryggeri) which dated to 1919. E.C. Dahls Bryggeri is now owned by Ringnes, part of the Group Carlsberg AS.

E.C. Dahl's Foundation
E.C. Dahl's Foundation (E.C. Dahls Stiftelse i Trondheim) was opened in Trondheim during 1908 with funding from the estate of Erich Christian Dahl. The Foundation originally established a hospital for newborn children and infant care. The Foundation now provides support in relation to different types of disabilities. The Foundation's Art Nouveau building in the Kalvskinnet area of Trondheim is now used by the Trøndelag Art Center (Trøndelag Kunstnersenter).

Welcome to another Australasian!
Gidday, cobber. Just seen your typically modest Aussie entry on the New User Log. You're helping to right the hemisphere imbalance.

I once played cricket, hockey, and soccer, but not simultaneously. My son represented "NZ Colts" for "Aussie Rules" in Brisbane a couple of years ago.

Enjoy! - Robin Patterson 00:57, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

List of cricketers
I see you're adding to this list - excellent! One point to note is that the Sikh names (with "Singh" as the second name) and Muslim names don't follow the same sorting rule of last name first, and shouldn't be displayed that way either. So for example, the following list is sorted and displayed correctly: If you have any doubt about any name, we're following the same rules as CricInfo. But please, keep adding important cricketers! --dmmaus 09:29, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Question
Why did you remove links from List of cricketers? --Hemanshu 10:33, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I just wanted to know the reason... I was wondering if I am wrong. --Hemanshu 10:39, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I have removed the multiple links and kept the first links. Multiple links are not good clearly. --Hemanshu 10:49, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Template:Delete
Howdy - I don'y know about anyone else, but I really like the new speedy delete template. It pops. Very nice. Ocon | Talk 06:57, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's a waste yet. Let's create a subpage of your user page, say User:Squash/Templates and show your versions of the templates there.  We can then post a request for comment and get wide community input on the new design.  I'll help with the effort if you like.  - Ocon | Talk 17:26, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

List of cricketers
Hi - while I appreciate the all hard work you have been putting in on List of cricketers to make it more comprehensive, I would really appreciate it if you could create articles for some of the new entries (even stubs). This is not intended to stop you adding new players, it is just that so many red links looks so sad. I've added a few when the muse has taken me, but further assistance would be great!

You might also like to look at User:Nichalp's work on cricket/temp. -- ALoan (Talk) 10:50, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the message - and for creating a pile of stubs (sub-stubs, mostly, if we are still allowed to call them that). But a good start.  As well as category, another relatively easy thing to do is to link to the cricinfo.com player profile - for new people that you add, at least, I'm not asking you to sort out all the existing ones! -- ALoan (Talk) 22:01, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Substubs
Please stop creating substubs on those Australian actors. At least make them into normal stubs. [[User:Mike Storm|Mike ∞ Storm]] 02:37, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Once created, substubs shouldn't be deleted, but they shouldn't be created in the first place. [[User:Mike Storm|Mike ∞ Storm]] 02:44, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * This is merely commentary for the viewers of this user page. The fact was I did not create substubs but one line setence article label as stub. To many of you who are stub supporters, may consider this as the Wiki-correct procedure, but to all of you substub supporters many of you support that procedure. squash 20:34, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

Cricket
I would like to question the criteria you sorted the external cricket links. My opinion is that the links should point to the relevancy of the page and how well it explains the topic not on how large the site is. The top most sites should point to the official pages. I also see your a wonderful graphics editor. We are looking to nominate Cricket as a featured articles. Any chances of you beautifying the diagrams currently on the page? ¶ nichalp | [[User talk:nichalp| Talk ]] 19:42, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)

Adminship
Thanks for your support of my adminship. – Andre ( talk ) 17:38, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the praise. :) Hey, do you want to be nominated? I've never nominated anyone before but I could probably figure it out.  – Andre ( talk )  09:39, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

From Hpnadig
hi squash, Just came here to thank you for one of the graphics you made. We've used it here. --Hpnadig 17:56, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

From Muriel
Catching up after absence, i notice your compliment on the family trees. I appreciate that! I'm still in wikipedia, but on the portuguese one. Have fun here! Muriel G 08:53, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

My nomination for adminship
Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. I will do my best to serve Wikipedia. --Slowking Man 00:06, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks Squash
It was my fault really. I edited the page and just posted two words the first time. I should have tried testing it before I posted anything. Anyway, thanks for the tip on moving pages. I should read more about editing before I edit anything again. --Dara 22:48, 15 Nov2004 (UTC)

Bureaucratship
Thanks for your supportive vote of my bureaucratship. Unfortunately, the vote was judged to be too close, but I hope you'll support me when I run again. :) Andre ( talk )A| 16:01, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)

Userpage goodness
Damn fine userpage. Best I've seen (save for mine, of course!). That said, table design suXX0rZ. But at least you're using a good amount of css. BLANKFAZE | (что??) 23:00, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I would like to second that, very nice user page indeed. Also, till i read your user page i'd always thought you were a french women. How wrong i was. Anyway nice to see that us aussies are slowly taking control of wikimedia... The bellman 12:47, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)

About your question...
Hi Squash, I answered the question that you asked me on my talk page, but now I come back to see that everything on it has mysteriously disappeared. I looked at the history and couldn't see anyone who deleted it -- weird. ANyways, I use to own a forum, but not no more. --Dara 02:47, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
