MBTA Map
Hi there! Thanks for your note. I'm happy to change the license to whatever is necessary. The work is entirely my own, and I'd like it to stay on Wikipedia. On my website (www.radicalcartography.net), all my maps are by default CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 .. but I'm happy to give special permissions as needed. I would like there to be a attribution and a link to the map's original page (http://www.radicalcartography.net/bostonnow.html), if possible. Just let me know! Citynoise (talk) 11:36, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

You removed the PROD on the grounds that lack of neutrality is not a reason to delete. I disagree on this point as WP:NPOV is a strict policy. And, in any case, this was just one of several stated reasons to delete. Please reconsider. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Madonna-Baumblütenfest-Werder-Germany-2007.jpg
If you looked at what was on the talk page you'd have seen that the flickr user is saying he took the photo in Feb 2007 at the Werder spring festival - a festival which doesn't take place until April, and Madonna wasn't on tour in 2007. In any case we have a WP:Reliable Source that the image was not taken by that flickr user and that the rights are owned by the Associated Press. [].

Replaceable fair use Image:Lean limit extension bw.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Lean limit extension bw.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 20:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Bagh (garden)
Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary and discussing at the talk page. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. I know you were strongly supportive of deleting the page, but misrepresenting the consensus is unhelpful. Stifle (talk) 08:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I have explained it several times; this is Bagh (garden), not Bagh (word). What bagh means in Turkish might not be completely out of line on Bagh, but it has nothing to do with Bagh (garden). If you'll note the AfD, there was a movement to continue to delete Bagh (word) as a whatever because it was so bad, even if Bagh (garden) was acceptable.

 * I furthermore take offense to the fact that the edit summaries go

 * →Etymology: delete text; not a dictionary

 * rv. You must not put the existence of something to vote and then so blatantly change the nature of the entry on which people had been voting!!!! Please have respect for others!!!!

 * this isn't Bagh (word), which was going to get deleted, and this isn't a dictionary. None of this entomological trivia has any place here

 * You are acting against the will of the community. If you have a point, lay it out in the talk page and let the community decide

 * I note nothing in his responses that pertains to content, and it starts out by saying that changing the article content lacks respect for others, a clear violation of WP:OWN. is another example of WP:OWN and borderline personal attacks. I interpret the consensus on AfD as being that Bagh (word) was crap; unlike that, Bagh (garden) might have some encyclopedic potential. Instead of more accusations about the supposed "will of the community" (coming from someone who stomped off a few months ago because his copyvios were getting deleted), I'd like to see some reason to keep that text.--Prosfilaes (talk) 11:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

2008_Hewa_Bora_Airways_crash
I wasn't trying to editorialize or present a half-truth; Most of the aircraft in our fleet are 25+ years old. We inspect them on a mandated schedule and get fined or penalized when we don't -- Just look at the recent American Airlines incident for a good example of this. AA got busted skating on maintenance and it cost them.

Airplanes are not like your car, they don't just rot away and eventually fall out of the sky when they reach some magic age. We maintain them, upgrade them, and replace parts as they age. Besides that, we don't measure their ages in years, but in pressurization cycles. A heavily-used aircraft wears out much faster than one that sits around idle. I guess I could provide some maintenance logs or something as a source, but I'm not sure I would be allowed to do that, and I don't want to risk my job.

I guess I'm unsure what you want me to do. I'm new to this whole wiki thing, I'm a pilot, and I just want to help people understand what happened without being biased or sensationalistic about it.

move back of Saudia Flight 163
I noticed that you moved Saudia Flight 163 to Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 163 on 22 April 2008. The name of the airline at the time of the accident (1980) was, in fact, Saudia (1972-1996) — not Saudi Arabian Airlines.

The commenter on the talk page who suggested that the page be moved was mistaken in suggesting this.

For consistency's sake, it's preferable to use the name of the airline at the time of the accident. For example, accidents involving Northwest Airlines during its early years use its name at that time, e.g., Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 710. Could you please move the article back to its former location at Saudia Flight 163?

If you're unable to do so, I'll undertake the move myself within a week or so. If you have any concerns, please leave a note on my talk page. oh my yes (talk) 07:30, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Thank you for catching that. The article did read 'Saudia' in the past, and now only uses 'Saudi Arabian Airlines' instead of 'Saudia' in 2-3 places. This can be changed using a find and replace. If you prefer not to make the edits yourself or are unable to do so, I will do it within the next few days. Thanks, oh my yes (talk) 16:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Wiki-links
Hello!

Explain me, please, why did you delete wiki-links added by me in the article Esperanto. It is quite usual in Wikipedia to mark as links years, countries etc. When I see in Wikipedia a year number without link, I always think that it is a little flaw and often add the link. Why don't you like this? --D.M. from Ukraine (talk) 20:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. I have somewhat other thought about links, but I don't insist. I'd like to note only the following:
 * 1) As for me, it is quite normal to create the same links in DIFFERENT SECTIONS of the same article. Maybe, a reader reads only one section and does not notice links in other sections.
 * 2) Explain me, please, by what a rule should we decide which years should be marked as links and which ones should not. --D.M. from Ukraine (talk) 21:28, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Your understanding of art is fundamentally scewed. Any art which abuses a child (A child cannot have the emotional maturity to allow herself to be photographed nude, never mind the sexual understanding) is not art. Its sexual abuse.

Esperanto article
Ethnologue is a good source according to my viewpoint on language subject, also if you want to change that, just change that, right now you are also destroying many new links I and also other persons made. So instead of just wiping everything i would prefer it if you talked to me or talked on the discussion section.

Also it just needs to give an overview. This is what ethnologue says, there is already discussion about the number of speakers in the section. In the summery it seems not useful to me to have big debates about numbers, and personally i find the etnhologue number more trustworthy than any other source i have seen. A research by one german student seems to be less trusty then this authoraty on language.

So please talk instead of undoing everything I and other people made to improve the Esperanto article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Douwebeerda (talk • contribs) 12:18, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Proposed deletion of Dragon chess

The article Dragon chess has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * No evidence that this fairly recent chess variant is notable. Only one short mention in a newspaper article, no evidence of any awards or other things that may help to meet WP:N.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fram (talk) 07:49, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Agreed, it's not like we didn't try to explain to User:DMSBel why we were reverting their edits and the content had been in place for years AFAICT. It's no surprise no one else was there to revert instead of you, if reverting what is pretty obviously vandalism in the form of censorship ends up with you being blocked.

 * Instead of repeatedly reverting, you could have asked for help from the WikiProjects under whose aegis the page falls, WP:WikiProject Sexuality and WP:WikiProject Pornography. You also could have brought the matter to WP:RS/N when User:DMSBel continued to remove sourced material.
 * You might want to read WP:Vandalism, especially the section on "What is not vandalism". Edits with which you disagree, even if they are disruptive, are not vandalism. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:12, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

MCQ
I'm afraid I find you comment that my suggestion was "inappropriate" rather impolite. There are good reasons why one might want to come to MCQ (where I am a sometime answerer). Most notably, we cannot expect contributors to use Commons, they may only be on Wikipedia; second, the header of MCQ says nothing about not asking about Commons images and the given description of "A place for help with image copyrights, tagging, STBotI, non-free content, and related questions." seems to fit just fine. Whilst Commons may be the best place to answer some questions, it should be perfectly possible to answer those about US copyright (in particular) at MCQ. Since a given question is a fait accompli, I would therefore ask that you only direct users to Commons where strictly necessary and do so in a more polite manner. Thank you. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 22:02, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

 * An image that's not in the public domain in the US needs to be deleted from Commons. I think you would be quite annoyed if discussions started up on Commons about Wikipedia articles that were copyvios that never got fed back to Wikipedia. If a picture is on Commons, the discussions on its copyright need to happen on Commons.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:33, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Warning re edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war  according to the reverts you have made on Jones Law (Philippines). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.See Talk:Jones Law (Philippines) for discussion Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 07:37, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Your edit warring over at Copyright status of work by the U.S. government
I see you reverted me and I'm upset by your edit summary, "revert to longer, more descriptive text," which is not a substantive explanation, IMO. What's the logic behind insisting on having the same detailed (that is, "longer, more descriptive") information in two articles on territories, and in only one article at all on states? (Consider the respective populations.) I added a little info on the states ( with the edit summary, "  CA, FL incl.  Page moved"), and that was reverted. I removed redundant info - redundant because it is on the page Copyright status of work by the U.S. government where it belongs, adding the edit summary, "Info in the main article. (See previous edit.)  Refine wording and rm. redundancy.)".  In response to the wholesale revert and obnoxious comment "unsourced and completely wrong; there is no constitutional issue, it's purely statutory" I addressed the concern and ignored the obnoxiousness.  And you reverted, providing no explanation.  Please engage in discussion instead of edit warring, which is when you just revert (fight), and do not communicate (cooperate) so as to try to reach consensus.  If you're going to defend having information in two articles on territories, and in one article on states, then do it by discussing the merits thereof, or by reverting and discussing the merits thereof, but not by just reverting.--Elvey (talk) 06:59, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Excuse me, edit warring? I've edited that article once this year, and gripping about my edit summary is pretty outrageous when the edit I reverted said "Correction", when in fact it was a revert.--Prosfilaes (talk) 07:23, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Ok, there was a series of reverts that you participated in merely to the extent that you made one revert which I guess makes sense if you hadn't seen the bigger picture. I won't call it edit warring if you prefer.  Now that I've tried to provide some context, and struck the 'warring', can you address my concerns with your edit?--Elvey (talk) 07:43, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Copyright status of work by the U.S. government
Hi, Prosfilaes. Elvey and I are going back and forth on the talk page of this article, still. I'm growing weary, but he's still trying to remove the sourced material both you and I have restored, in favor of his unrelated material about states' works. Would you be willing to join the discussion? I don't know if he's unreachable or if it's just that I'm failing to reach him. I'm hoping someone else knowledgeable trying to explain from a different angle would help. He's clearly not getting it from me. TJRC (talk)

OK, I'm done battling (noun deleted) / WP-otaku -- you win, kthxbye.
I tried to add something -- which I thought was useful -- to the "Eskimo Words for Snow" article. Between Maunus and now you -- I GIVE UP. Fine. Please consider that you've merely REMOVED content, possibly useful to those looking up this entry -- you've NOT contributed, edited, cited, added, or clarified -- merely enforced, and REDUCED. '' [I looked up your histories -- seems you both have quite a record for controversy, and a taste for WP battle -- I'm not going there. (For chrissake, we're talking about an article about snow and linguistics -- and, btw, what I added was dead-on accurate, and then sourced. THEN you guys went and killed 3-5 paragraphs that *I* didn't write, based on me saying THEY weren't ('properly') sourced EITHER. I do NOT mean to violate guidelines, nor insult, but: could you CONTRIBUTE, FIX, ADD -- rather than (and I refer to each of your RATHER lengthy talk pages, replete with controversy, and that is NOT subjective nor personal nor insulting) -- act as fussy schoolmarms to everyone else?]'' Basically, you cut off the article's nose to spite your face.

DS - I quote, from your own talk page (slight paraphrase): "those who don't like unnecessary drama, shouldn't go around creating unnecessary drama". Heh. >;-) Goose. Gander. Sauce.

Think, please, about this: you, and Maunus, deleted a LOT of info. Probably almost all of which was relevant and accurate, and which was NOT from ME -- y'all just dove into delete, NOT contribute mode (deleting not just my para, but a bunch of other ones from other contributors, too. Emphasis on "contributors".

Seems like more than a few people on y'all's pages have similar observations.) Now, back up, to what you deleted: that's subtraction from WP -- not addition.

Wikipedia isn't particularly useful if self-appointed pedants go on delete-patrol for everything that's inadequately (or 'incorrectly') sourced >;-(. OTOH: it WOULD be particularly more useful if people -- such as maybe yourself -- focused on POSITIVE contributions. Fix stuff. Make it better.

List of aircraft accidents and incidents resulting in at least 50 fatalities
Your edits on the List of aircraft accidents and incidents resulting in at least 50 fatalities are mathematically incorrect. You are saying (for the American Airlines Flight 11 entry) that 1,600 + 81 + 11 = 1,700 as opposed to the correct math which says 1,600 + 81 + 11 = 1,692. You are also saying (for the United Airlines Flight 175) that 900 + 56 + 9 = 1,000 when the original and correct number is 965. I am considering this vandalism. Please let us let the issue drop here.

Mr. Prosfilaes, a couple years ago you gave me some advice regarding an image I wanted to upload. You concluded it would be safe this year, and so I uploaded the file shortly after newyears. I listed it as PD-old-70, but I just noticed a very important warning in that template: " You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. " Well, I took a look at Copyright tags, but so far I'm not finding one that matches the conditions you originally described. Can you help me figure out how this file should be tagged?

A group of people, so they
Hej,

regarding this edit: if 'crew' is seen as 'the group', 'it' would be correct. However, 'crew' can also designate the people in the group, in which case 'they' is better. So, your edit makes sense, but the summary was (in my opinion) flawed.

Richard 08:35, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

 * "The [..] crew [...] they" should be constructio ad sensum, which often is considered to be an error. "crew" is a singular noun (the plural is "crews"), thus requires a singular pronoun ("it" - as "he" and "she" shouldn't fit). But well... -eXplodit (talk) 07:48, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)
Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Translators available list.

Esperanto and Criticism
Hello, i'm the author of this edit you've undone here Undid revision 698119454 by 62.37.217.199 (talk); You said the reason was "too argumentative in a section about criticism". Here's what two Esperanto learners from Duolingo commented on my fb post about this: "I like your version a LOT better. The version on the page now seems irrational, just another way for skeptics to insult Esperanto." and "Too argumentative in a section about criticism, it's a bit ironic... Is it better to criticise without arguments?". If there's a criticism section I believe, in order to be serious and objective, that there should be both points of view (separated or every critic followed with an objective countercritic as I think I did for example). The French article about Esperanto does not show any criticism section but they do have a separated article only about it (with counterarguments to see both views and let the reader know and maybe even choose). The Spanish and English wikipedias show that section in the main article about esperanto, and they also have separated articles for further (almost repeated) criticism.

Well, that said, as i posted on fb too, I do not understand why there is not a criticism section for the main articles about English, Spanish, French, etc., big ethnic languages that are playing a role they weren't born for... a role as international (or interpeoples/interethnic) communication tool. There's a lot writen about inequalities in so many fields caused by this role playing, even university lectures. Do you think the Spanish Wikipedia editors would accept that section for every article about those three languages? One year ago i saw this article, for me very interesting when i read it for the first time 4 years ago, being speedy deleted. The reason was "not relevant because I can't find any thesis or many articles about this report on the internet" (so articles are relevant only if you find thesis about it? why not adding a button "you've reached the end of the article, do you think this was relevant to you?" and let readers decide?). I guess they didn't quite like the conclusion from that economist and the wanted it out of view.

Template redundancy
The process started a few years back with this edit, the Line parameter is still being used, albeit with the notable track names. Currently, Pennsylvania Station in NYC now displays Northeast Corridor in the line parameter. Another example is Little Italy–University Circle station, it now displays the physical track names in the Line parameter. Nowadays if the service and line names match, the line parameter is blanked in order to reduce redundancy. Note that it just took a while for me to get around to editing Boston templates.

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism
Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:25, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

She is best known as the lead singer of the 1980s new wave music group Altered Images, as well as for supporting roles in the 1981 film Gregory's Girl and the science fiction sitcom Red Dwarf as the first incarnation of Kristine Kochanski.

Early life
Born in Glasgow, Grogan and her two sisters all attended the Notre Dame Convent School.

Aged 17, while she was dancing at the Glasgow College of Technology, a fight broke out nearby between several patrons. Grogan attempted to head away from the violence but was injured by thrown broken glass, causing a deep facial wound and a prominent scar on the left side of her face. Grogan states her parents still find it hard to read about the incident. She began filming Gregory's Girl just three months after the incident. In 1998, while she was working in a theatre at Watford, it was discovered that part of the glass was still in the facial tissue and had to be surgically removed.

Theatre
As a member of Scottish Youth Theatre, she was originally obliged to appear as "C. P. Grogan" because there was already a member of Equity named Claire Grogan. (The other Claire Grogan went on to become a photographer.) She would later drop the i from her first name.

Grogan played the part of Rita in Educating Rita at Dundee Repertory Theatre in 1987.

In 1996, she played a fitness instructor on the Edinburgh Fringe in the play Lady Macbeth Firmed My Buttocks.

Film and television
While working as a waitress at the Spaghetti Factory restaurant in Glasgow, she was spotted by film director Bill Forsyth. This led to her breakthrough acting role in 1981's Gregory's Girl as Susan. Because of her facial wound there were objections from the producers, but Forsyth refused to recast the role and Grogan was filmed mostly in profile. When filmed in close up, makeup artists covered Grogan's scar with Derma wax.

In 1984, she played Charlotte in Forsyth's Comfort and Joy. In 1985, she was the receptionist in the BBC Television version of Blott on the Landscape. Grogan appeared in the second episode of the acclaimed The Monocled Mutineer in 1986. She had a recurring role playing Dave Lister's would-be love-interest, Kristine Kochanski, in series 1, 2 and 6 of the TV show Red Dwarf. However, she was later deemed too old for the role. Grogan has also appeared in Father Ted (episode "Rock-a-Hula Ted") in a thinly veiled parody of Sinéad O'Connor and in EastEnders as Ian Beale's love interest, Ros Thorne (1997–1998).

In 1992, Grogan appeared as Mary Catto in series 8 episode 21 of Taggart (again credited as C.P. Grogan).

She had the role of Maggie in a 1998 comedy Jilting Joe, played an eye surgeon in a 2002 short film Bury It, appeared in Doctors in 2003, and performed another Edinburgh Fringe play Forbidden in 2004, as Lily, married to a WW2 Nazi officer but falling in love with a young Jewish woman.

In 2006, Grogan portrayed Sandra Reeves, a control-freak office manager, in the film The Penalty King played Cathy in an episode of Sea of Souls, and May, Danny's mother, in the Scottish sit-com Legit. She appeared in the video for Peter Kay and Matt Lucas' charity single "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", recorded for Comic Relief's Red Nose Day 2007, along with two TV films Wedding Belles and Forgiven.

Grogan had a role in the 2011 TV series Skins as Shelley, mother of Mini McGuinness and played Jenny Ferris in the Scottish gangster film The Wee Man in 2013.

She starred as Myriam in the 2017 film Delirium, filmed entirely at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Grogan co-presented, alongside Gary Maclean, BBC Scotland's Corner Shop Cook-Off. The six episode series originally aired from 19 February to 25 March 2020.

Music career
Grogan developed her singing career as the lead singer of Altered Images, originally a five-piece band that included Johnny McElhone (later of the Scottish rock band Texas), whom she met while studying for her Highers exams. It became a four-person band with the departure of two members and the addition of Stephen Lironi, who played both guitar and drums. The band had several hits in the early 1980s, including "Happy Birthday", "Don't Talk to Me About Love", "I Could Be Happy" and "See Those Eyes". The group split up after the release of their third album, Bite (1983).

In 1984, Grogan made a cameo appearance in the music video to "Young at Heart" by The Bluebells.

Grogan later attempted a solo career, but after her single "Love Bomb" failed to gain chart success in 1987, her album Trash Mad was never released. Grogan formed Universal Love School in 1989 with Lironi, performing a series of gigs around the UK. However, it was short-lived and produced no hit singles. In 2000, she contributed vocals to the song "Night Falls Like a Grand Piano" on The 6ths' album Hyacinths and Thistles. She recorded a version of "Angels with Dirty Faces" for the Frankie Miller tribute album. The track "Her Hooped Dream" appears on The Ultimate Celtic Album.

In 2002, Grogan performed as Altered Images on the Here and Now Tour which featured other well known artists from the 1980s. She performed on similar tours in 2005, 2008 and 2009. She appeared with Chesney Hawkes, Toyah Willcox and Limahl as The 80s Supergroup in the 2011 series of Let's Dance for Comic Relief.

Grogan sometimes covers for radio presenters on BBC 6 Music.

Grogan appeared in Series 2, Episode 2 of John Shuttleworth's Lounge Music on BBC Radio 4 on 27 November 2016.

Clare Grogan is the inspiration for the song "True" by Spandau Ballet.

Grogan began presenting shows on Absolute Radio 80s from 11 September 2017, presenting Monday to Thursday 8-9pm and Sundays 7-9pm.

In 2021, Grogan duetted with Sharleen Spiteri on the track "Look What You've Done", from Hi, the tenth album released by Johnny McElhone's band Texas.

Writing
Grogan's first book was published in October 2008, a children's novel (aimed at age 7 and up) titled Tallulah and the Teenstars, about a girl, Tallulah Gosh, who forms a pop band.

In 2015, it was followed by Tallulah On Tour.

Tallulah Gosh was an alias Grogan thought of using at the start of her career because Equity had already registered a Claire Grogan and a more showbiz name might help her career, but Bill Forsyth persuaded her that she would come to regret it.

The band Talulah Gosh took their name from the headline of an interview with Grogan in NME.

Personal life
Grogan married bandmate Stephen Lironi in Glasgow in 1994. They live in Haringey in north London, and adopted a daughter in 2005.

Lesson

A lesson or class is a structured period of time where learning is intended to occur. It involves one or more students (also called pupils or learners in some circumstances) being taught by a teacher or instructor. A lesson may be either one section of a textbook (which, apart from the printed page, can also include multimedia) or, more frequently, a short period of time during which learners are taught about a particular subject or taught how to perform a particular activity. Lessons are generally taught in a classroom but may instead take place in a situated learning environment.

In a wider sense, a lesson is an insight gained by a learner into previously unfamiliar subject-matter. Such a lesson can be either planned or accidental, enjoyable or painful. The colloquial phrase "to teach someone a lesson", means to punish or scold a person for a mistake they have made in order to ensure that they do not make the same mistake again.

Lessons can also be made entertaining. When the term education is combined with entertainment, the term edutainment is coined.

Types of lessons
The potential format and speaks to one or more people in the same room or space. This may be supplemented with gestures and tools. A lesson may range from a lecture, to a demonstration, to a discussion or a blend of some of these common presentation methods.

Some lessons may involve work by the student. Traditionally this might include reading and writing or creating something, perhaps when the instructor is not present. The student may work independently or collaborate with others.

More recent technologies have expanded the way a lesson can be delivered. For example: film strips, pre-recorded audio and video tapes, television programs and podcasts are some ways to deliver or add to a lesson. Distance education techniques such as video conferencing, or electronic learning in a virtual learning environment have allowed interactive lessons to be presented to students who may not be in the same physical location. These tools offer new synchronous, asynchronous and blended ways to deliver lessons.

Lesson plan
Teachers and instructors usually have a lesson plan which dictates the structure of the teaching. A group of lessons may be linked together in a unit plan, scheme, or work. The detail of the plan may vary with some being a simple list of what is going to be taught in a lesson with others working including much more detail, such as a time plan and the learning aims and objectives. Student teachers and beginning teachers are usually advised to put a great amount of detail into the written plan. This ensures that the plan will be cohesive, that all the components of a successful lesson are taken care of, and that one has a checklist to ensure that practicalities are taken care of (e.g., resources, scheduling, and classroom management considerations). Furthermore, beginning teachers are often advised to script some sections for themselves, such as questions they might ask the students in order to get a discussion going at the beginning of the lesson. The expectation is that the teachers can and should depart from the script when appropriate; improvisation is definitely encouraged and the fact of having written it out in advance ensures that an adequate amount of thought has been put into it ahead of time. Another reason for including a great amount of detail is that student teachers are often required to submit lesson plans in advance to their mentor teachers or professors in order to receive feedback on their ideas. When creating the lesson plan it is usual to look at the following:
 * The aims (the broader goals of the lesson, what it is reaching towards)
 * The objectives (the specific, measurable outcomes of the lesson – the particular skills or knowledge students should have acquired by its conclusion)
 * The number of attendees and the student-teacher ratio
 * The previous knowledge of the learners (which may or may not be the same for all) and how this will be activated at the start of the lesson
 * The motivation of the learners (school students, for example, have no choice but to attend so the teacher must build some kind of motivation into the lesson)
 * The time required for each section of teaching and learning
 * The resources required and available
 * Catering for the different needs (cultural differences, learning styles, special needs) of the individuals
 * How the lesson is to be evaluated

Etymology
The word lesson comes from Latin lectio "the action of reading (out)". From there, the word was also used for the text itself, very often a passage from the Bible read out during a religious service ("first lesson", "second lesson"). Finally, any portion of a book to be studied was referred to as a lesson.

Talk:Flag of Andorra

Incorrect Flag
I think that the flag shown in this article is wrong! The upper left quarter of the coat of arms in the flag is blue (with something like a yellow golden diamond in it). The real flag is supposed to show the "real" coat of arms of Andorra, in which the upper left quarter is red and showing a golden miter. 143.50.212.48 19:32, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

 * I replaced the wrong flag with the right one. Gugganij 21:39, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

I think the ratio of this image is incorrect. Everything I've seen says the flag should be 7:10, but this image is 3:5. Mloester 19:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Was the coat of arms included with the intention of being distinctive from the Flag of Romania? --Saforrest 17:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Only flag depicting cattle?
The article says that the flag of Andorra is the only national flag depicting cattle, yet I'm pretty sure the flag of Moldova does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Interopia (talk • contribs) 09:12, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
