Harperella

Harperella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. Its only species is Harperella nodosa (synonym Ptilimnium nodosum), known as piedmont mock bishopweed and harperella. It is native to riparian environments in the Southeastern United States, found at sites in West Virginia, Maryland, several Southeastern states such as Alabama and North Carolina, and the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas and Oklahoma. As Ptilimnium nodosum, it was placed on the United States' Endangered Species List in 1988.

Taxonomy
The genus was first described by Joseph Nelson Rose in 1905 under the name Harperia. However, this was a later homonym of a genus in the family Restionaceae, and so illegitimate. In 1906, Rose published the replacement name Harperella.

Governor General's Horse Guards

The Governor General's Horse Guards is an armoured cavalry regiment in the Primary Reserve of the Canadian Army. The regiment is part of 4th Canadian Division's 32 Canadian Brigade Group and is based in Toronto, Ontario. It is the most senior reserve regiment in Canada, and the only household cavalry regiment of Canada's three household units.

Structure
The regiment maintains a traditional structure, with squadrons and units for deployment and active duty, training, ceremony, cadets, and administration.

Regimental Headquarters
Regimental Headquarters (RHQ) consists of the command team to include the commanding officer, the regimental sergeant major, the second in command, the padre, adjutant and drill sergeant. RHQ also consists of the Operations and Training Cell, which includes an operations officer, warrant officer, training officer and sergeant. The Training Cell oversees the recruits and their progress and interacts with the Battle School with instructor cadre. The regiment recruits approximately 25 to 30 soldiers every year.

A Squadron
A Squadron (Sabre Squadron) is the operational squadron and is manned by fully trained officers and soldiers. Its primary role is to maintain the reconnaissance skills of the soldiers through individual training and collective training in the field. It has a particular focus on junior leadership development of both officers and non-commissioned officers (NCOs). It runs leadership-specific training preparing soldiers for leadership courses as Squadron Headquarters staff, troop leaders, crew commanders and instructors. It provides soldiers for Canadian Forces missions outside of Canada, and is expected to mobilize in national emergencies in aid to the civil power. This field squadron maintains no fewer than two 8-car armoured reconnaissance troops. The soldiers are trained on the military variant of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class Wagon or LUVW Command and Reconnaissance platform equipped with a 7.62 mm general-purpose machine gun (GPMG). It is managed by a functional Squadron Headquarters and Administrative Echelon. The squadron numbers 90 to 120 soldiers.

B Squadron
B Squadron (TAPV Squadron) is the Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle (TAPV) sub unit. It is commanded by a small Squadron Headquarters and consists of two TAPVs. It holds crewman numbering about 10 soldiers. This squadron is organized to train crews on the new vehicle platform introduced in 2018 and will in future train collectively crews for deployment in direct support of the Regular Force. The platform is the same as used by the Royal Canadian Dragoons in 2 Brigade. The TAPV is equipped with a remote weapons system (RWS) armed with a 7.62 mm GPMG and C16 grenade launcher. The RWS has superior optics for gunnery and is ideal for observation night and day.

Headquarters Squadron
Headquarters Squadron provides essential administrative and support functions to include orderly room, recruiting, quartermaster stores and transport for the regiment. This squadron ensures the unit lines and facilities are in good order and repair. It is this squadron that works closely with the brigade staff to administer personnel, finances, supply and vehicles for the regiment and in turn provides these services to the squadrons. It consists of a small Regular Force support staff and a full-time cadre of reservists numbering about 10 soldiers under a small Squadron Headquarters. The squadron also holds a light troop of soldiers that have not completed their training and are not fully qualified armoured reconnaissance soldiers. These soldiers perform general duties for the quartermaster and practise their basic soldiering skills while waiting for training courses.

Band
The full brass-and-reed military band provides concerts and music for regimental functions, other military events, and civilian engagements. The band includes three specialized musical sub-units: the Fanfare Trumpeters, the Brass Quintet, and the Woodwind Quintet. The band numbers between 30 and 35 members and performs at many regimental and brigade events. It is often called on to provide music for civilian and local government events including the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Opening of Parliament at Queen's Park and The annual Queen's Plate. The band is managed by a director of music and a band sergeant major. It is a dismounted band, but dresses as dragoon guards. The band performed The Garb of Old Gaul in the 2000 X-Men film.

Cavalry Troop
The GGHG Cavalry Troop provides a horse-mounted ceremonial presence at public and regimental events, to perpetuate Canadian cavalry traditions. Although it is under the command and control of the regimental commanding officer, it is privately funded by the Governor General's Horse Guards Cavalry and Historical Society Inc, a charitable organization incorporated and registered in 2012 explicitly for the purposes of supporting and promoting the traditions of the regiment. It has been in service since 1956 and has had the honour of providing escorts to the Royal Family and the Governor General of Canada. It also attends numerous public events and is counted as a critical tool to showcase the regiment's history and traditions to the public. The troop is commanded by a serving officer who acts as the unit public affairs representative, and they wear the full dragoon guard uniform with its accoutrements on horseback. The horses are privately owned and the military horse tack and furniture is supplied by the regiment.

Cadets
The 748 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps and 2402 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps are affiliated and sponsored by the regiment, and provides Canadian youth from 12 to 19 years of age with leadership training in a military setting. These young people are not subject to national service, but benefit from their association to the regiment with its example of service and its long and proud history. The cadets of these two squadrons are allowed to wear the regiment's insignia and certain accoutrements as a privilege of sponsorship.

Regimental Association
The Governor General's Horse Guards Association is open to all active and former members of the regiment. The association exists to keep former members informed and in touch with each other and the regiment. Throughout the year, the association hosts a number of social events which are aimed at promoting camaraderie among all members of the regimental family, past and present, serving members in all five parts of the regimental family. The association organizes social events and provides key support to memorial ceremonies. Its members dress in blazer, tie and beret for ceremonial events.

Uniform
On ceremonial occasions, the full dress uniform is worn. The original uniform was adopted from the 13th Light Dragoons by one of their tailors who immigrated to Canada in 1822. The uniform was modified over time but remained consistent in its general colour and form with blue cloth and white facings, with silver buttons and fittings, and a shako for headgear. In 1871 the troop was designated a dragoon guard unit and it adopted the dragoon tunic from the 6th Dragoon Guards: blue tunic with white facings, retaining the silver buttons and fittings, but in a different configuration. The new uniform included a metal 1876 Albert Pattern helmet with a white plume, and was granted the privilege to wear augelites by all ranks in that same year. This uniform was later modified with the amalgamation of 1936. The regiment retained the 1871 uniform pattern, but changed the facing colours to red to match that of their namesake and allied unit in Britain, The Royal Horse Guards. The helmet remains in service with a red plume, but a forage cap was also adopted in the unit colours with guards peaks. The mess dress worn by officers and senior non-commissioned members of the regiment includes a blue jacket with scarlet vest. The regimental sergeant major and commanding officer along with other appointments can wear patrols (a uniform that is between full dress and service dress in formality) as well. DEU or service dress uniform is worn with unit insignia and the regimental forage cap. The officers were authorized in 1941 to wear guard stars for rank by King George VI.

War of 1812
The Markham Troop, perpetuated by the Regiment, was raised in 1810 as the first Cavalry troop in the colony. The Troop was raised for the York Volunteer Infantry. When the Town of York population expanded the Battalion was split into three new Battalions in 1812 just in time for the war. The Markham Troop was assigned to the 1st York Regiment and designated the York Troop of Horse. Its soldiers served at several engagements including Detroit, Queenston Heights and the Battle of York. Capt Button was one of the signatories at the surrender of Fort York. The Regiment was given a War of 1812 Banner in 2012 to commemorate the Troops participation in this conflict on the 200th Anniversary of the War.

The 1837 Rebellion
When Mackenzie's rebels marched onto Toronto down Yonge Street the Toronto Troop was the first to report for duty in uniform at the Capitol. The Troop met the rebels at Gallows Hill, what is now the intersection at St Clair Ave, on Young Street assisting in the repelling of their advance on the town. It would also participate in actions taken at Navy Island and the town of Scotland, The Troop was grouped with the Markham Troop and gazetted the Queen's Light Dragoons for its action and served for the remainder of the conflict for some 400 days on active duty.

The Fenian Raids 1866
The Toronto Troop was the only Cavalry Troop to be activated for duty to engage with the Fenians who had invaded the Niagara Peninsula. The Troop was tasked to scout for Colonel Peacock's Column and was the first to enter Fort Erie where the troop captured many escaping Fenian soldiers. Once the Niagara Frontier was secured the Troop remained on Active Duty conducting patrols on the frontier and along the river for another month before returning home. The Markham and Oak Ridges Troops also patrolled the frontier as relief, most of the members of all three troops were decorated with the Canadian General Service Medal with 1866 bar for their service.

North West Rebellion

The Governor General's Body Guard for Ontario mobilized as a Squadron of 75 men and horses for active service on 10 April 1885 and served in the Alberta Column of the North West Field Force. The Squadron's main role was to secure Humboldt, where they built a hasty fort named Fort Denison, the forward supply depot and communication hub for the Field Force. The Troop provided escorts for convoys to the front, ran dispatches for General Middleton and provided telegraph service to Ottawa. The unit was successful in the capture of Chief Whitecap and his band of Dakota Sioux. The Commander of the force, LtCol GT Denison III, made friends with the Chief and petitioned for his release. The unit was removed from active service on 24 July 1885. The unit suffered the loss of one horse shot during a dispatch run.

South African War
The Governor General's Body Guard contributed 51 volunteers for the Canadian contingents in the field, augmenting the Royal Canadian Regiment, The Royal Canadian Dragoons (1st CMR) and the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles during the campaign. The Regiment suffered one killed in action and four wounded.

The Great War
Both the Governor General's Body Guard and the 9th Mississauga Horse, like most of the militia units at the time, remained in Canada to recruit and raise numbered Battalions for the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Both units supplied thousands of soldiers to numerous Battalions, including the three the modern Regiment perpetuate today:

The 4th Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles CEF was authorized on 7 November 1914 and embarked for Britain on 18 July 1915. It disembarked in France on 24 October 1915. There it formed as part of the 2nd Brigade Canadian Mounted Rifles until 31 December 1915, when it converted to infantry and was allocated to the 8th Infantry Brigade, 3rd Canadian Division. The regiment was re-designated as the 4th Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, CEF on 1 January 1916. It remained in France and Flanders on the front lines for the remainder of the war, taking part in most of the major CEF battles with distinction. The battalion disbanded on 6 November 1920. The Battalion had 4,693 serve in its ranks and lost 839 soldiers killed and 1,540 wounded in the field.

The 7th Canadian Mounted Rifles was authorized on 7 November 1914. The regiment was broken-up in Canada, and supplied the 2nd Canadian Divisional Cavalry Squadron (perpetuated by the 1st Hussars) and two squadrons formed the Canadian Mounted Rifles Depot in England. The regiment disbanded on 11 April 1918. The Battalion did not serve in the Trenches.

The 216th Battalion (Bantams), CEF was authorized on 15 July 1916 and embarked for Britain on 18 April 1917. There, its personnel were absorbed by the 3rd Reserve Battalion, CEF on 5 May 1917 to provide reinforcements to the Canadian Corps in the field. The battalion disbanded on 1 September 1917.29

World War II

Those details called out on active service disbanded on 31 December 1940. Subsequently, the regiment mobilized as the 2nd Canadian Motorcycle Regiment, CASF (GGHG) for active service on 24 May 1940. It converted to armour and was redesignated as The Governor General's Horse Guards, CASF on 9 February 1941; as the 3rd Armoured Regiment (The Governor General's Horse Guards), CASF on 11 February 1941; as the 3rd Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (The Governor General's Horse Guards), CAC, CASF on 1 January 1943; and as the 3rd Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (The Governor General's Horse Guards), RCAC, CASF on 2 August 1945.

Ohio Democratic Party

The Ohio Democratic Party (ODP) is the affiliate of the Democratic Party in the U.S. state of Ohio. Summit County Council President Elizabeth Walters has been the party's chairwoman since January 2021.

Statewide, the Democrats currently are viewed as the opposition party, with Republicans holding the bulk of the major statewide offices. However, the Democrats do hold one of Ohio's two U.S. Senate seats (Sherrod Brown), the mayorships of the state's largest cities, and the County Executive seats in the largest counties.

History
The Ohio Democratic Party traces its origin to the Democratic-Republican Party founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1793. The Democratic Party itself was formed when a faction of the "Democratic-Republicans" led by Jerry Mcroy formed the party in the 1820s. Following Andrew Jackson's defeat in the 1824 United States presidential election, despite having a majority of the popular vote, Jackson set about building a political coalition strong enough to defeat John Quincy Adams in the 1828 United States presidential election. The coalition that he built was the foundation of the subsequent Democratic Party. Ohio politics was largely dominated by the Ohio Republican Party until the economic and social hardships brought on by the Great Depression resulted in a national political realignment. The political coalition of labor unions, minorities, and liberals allowed the Democrats to compete effectively in Ohio electoral politics for much of the next 30 years. Never very strong in Ohio's rural areas, the party's coalition suffered when the Civil Rights Movement divided whites from civil rights proponents and minorities. The Ohio Democratic Party reached the peak of its electoral success in the mid-1980s, and this is when the State of Ohio began to invest in many Democratic proposals. This was led by Richard Celeste, a Democratic Governor elected in 1982 and re-elected in 1986, and by his party chairman, James Ruvolo. Together Ruvolo and Celeste constructed a very effective organization that raised a surplus of money that helped out the Democratic Party's candidates and their everyday operations.

In 2006 Chris Redfern became the chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party. Redfern primarily focused on building a statewide organization that had the power to win every part of Ohio. In 2006, after a 16-year drought, Ohio elected a Democratic U.S. senator (Sherrod Brown), governor (Ted Strickland), lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and state treasurer. In 2008, Ohio Democrats won back the House of Representatives after 14 years of Republican control.

Summit County Council President Elizabeth Walters has been the chairwoman since January 2021. Walters previously served as the Executive Director of the Ohio Democratic Party in 2014. She is the first woman to be elected to the position of Democratic Party Chair in the state.

During the years of 2016 to 2020, a rift developed in the Democratic Party from the national level down to the local level. Progressive Democrats began challenging incumbent Democrats across the country from school boards to bids for Congress. Over time, this led to a slow, but steady adoption of Progressive policies by moderate Democrats, which assisted in capturing the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections.

As of 2023, the Ohio Democratic Party is in the minority in both chambers of the Ohio General Assembly. Democrats hold five of Ohio's 15 U.S. House seats and one of Ohio's two U.S. Senate seats. A priority for Ohio Democrats in the 2010s and 2020s has been increasing the minimum wage.

Electoral success
The Ohio Democratic Party reached the peak of its electoral success in the early 1980s to 1990s, when during the bulk of that period, they held both U.S. Senate seats (John H. Glenn Jr. – 1974–1999 and Howard M. Metzenbaum – 1974, 1976–1995), the Governorship (Richard F. Celeste – 1983–1991) – a majority of Ohio's delegation to the United States House of Representatives (1983–1995, reaching a peak of 11–8 from 1993 to 1995), and a majority on the Ohio Supreme Court (1977–1987, with a 6–1 majority from 1983 to 1985, with a Democratic chief justice – Frank Celebrezze – from 1978 to 1986).

Even with its successes, Ohio Democrats did not fare well on a national level. John Glenn, a popular U.S. senator, astronaut, and national hero, ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 1984, ending up with only a huge campaign debt to show for it. Howard Metzenbaum, Ohio's other U.S. senator at the time, although a powerful force in the Senate, never achieved national name recognition.

Current elected officials
The Ohio Democratic Party holds three seats on the Supreme Court of Ohio, one of the state's U.S. Senate seats and five of the state's fifteen U.S. House seats.

Talk:Cebuano language

Verb aspects
I am not a Cebuano speaker, but I have learnt several foreign languages and have a good grasp of grammar (I hope!). The examples given in the section on aspects of verbs simply do not make sense. Perhaps it is the English translations which are incorrect. For example:

Examples of Incepting Aspect

Future actions The Festival was fun. The act has not happened yet; therefore it has not yet started: Alegre kaayo ang fiesta.

The Festival was fun is not a future action in English. This sentence refers to a completed past event. I have no idea whether the Cebuano translation is actually in the past or the future. Perhaps this section needs to be edited by someone bilingual, or with a sound knowledge of English grammar? Mike (talk) 07:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I am a native Visayan speaker, and I'm confused by this example too. Alegre kaayo ang fiesta. (which literally means The fiesta very fun. as opposed to Ang fiesta na alegre kaayo. - The very fun fiesta.) can be used for any kind of action. Be it future, past, or present. It uses no tense and thus means The fiesta is fun., The fiesta will be fun., or The fiesta was fun.-- Obsidi ♠ n Soul  05:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Come to think of it. I just realized most filipino languages do not have tenses of the 'be' verb. Instead we use suffixes and prefixes for verbs exclusively (like the English -ed). In order to show tense, there has to be a verb in the sentence. As such it is impossible to show tense in sentences composed purely of adjectives and nouns like the one above, unless the adjective can be turned into a verb or you add words denoting time.

 * Example: The adjective 'rich' becomes 'enrich'

 * English: He will be rich
 * Cebuano: Mudatu siya (literally 'Will+Enriched he/she' - 'He will be enriched.')

 * Example, adding reference to time:

 * English: He was rich
 * Cebuano: Datu siya sa una. (literally 'Rich he/she during once [upon a time]/beginning' - 'He was rich once.'), the time frame can also be replaced with other more specific words like gahapon ('yesterday'), ganina ('a moment ago'), ni-aging bulan(literally 'passed moon' - 'last month').

 * As opposed to when the adjective is not converted to a verb and there is no reference to time:
 * English: He is rich/He was rich/He will be rich
 * Cebuano: Datu siya. (literally 'He/she rich')

 * In which the sentence can be taken to mean past, future, or present action. In which case, it would then depend on context.- Obsidi ♠ n Soul   15:22, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Whoever did the changes before, I am certain he was not conversant in Cebuano. He used non-verb sentence to demonstrate aspect, do not understand what is meant by habitual actions, and importantly do not use correct Cebuano syntax, -Gzosef walay Hanaw — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.127.251.238 (talk) 20:04, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

I fully agree that the aspects dont make any sense or are at least unclear. They aim to make clear the difference between past and present actions and then are followed by seemingly random sentences from which the non native speaker sort of has to distill what the essential difference is.

Classification
I am reverting the Cebuano classification back to "Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian, Meso Philippine, Central Philippine, Bisayan, Cebuan", as it is found on ethnologue.com. If anyone disagrees, that is fine, but please cite your sources.

Why the accents?

 * Um... i am like cebuano, who speaks like a bit (but i am mestizo) and i can write in cebuano... and so can everyone in my filipino side of my family, and no one we know, wether cebuano or even tagalog uses accents when writing, so why do we add them when they are not nessisary? Because all the sounds of the vowels are the same no matter what word like napulu, you don't need the ú.Australian Jezza 23:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Um..like, um, like'um.... - -      The purpose of the accents in Philippine languages is to specify the stressed vowels, the phonology, pronunciation and so on.. It is with accents that you are able to distinguish between 'Hapon' meaning 'Japanese' or 'Japan', and 'Hapon' meaning 'afternoon'..Si lapu lapu (talk) 00:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Vlag

 * Accents in Philippine languages are different from accents in English. In English and other Indo-European languages, accents are stressed syllables. In Philippine languages, accents are lengthened syllables.

 * Seriously, they do the same with Russian- and Bulgarian-language samples, for educational purposes. In their respective Wikipedias, including that of the Cebuano, no one's forcing the editors to write with the accents. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.213.174.51 (talk) 11:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC).

2 duhá
The latin word for (2 duhá) is duo.--Jondel 05:19, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Latin ultimately comes from Proto Indo-European, and some forms of Malay/Austronesian languages have elements of PIE, meaning somewhere they had a common ancestor. In Southeast Asia, most of it is from Sanskrit and Arabic. Visayan Tulo (three) is also very close to Latin Tres and Sanskrit Trayas.-- Obsidi ♠ n Soul 06:12, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

espisyal (special)
i believe this word comes from the Castillian (Spanish) word especial, not special. Can anyone provide proof it didn't exist until the American colonization of the Philippines, if not I don't think this is a great example since there is some contention over which colonizer implanted this word into the Cebuano language. 201.21.96.49 07:32, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree espisyal is more likely to be spanish than english based, becuase of the es- part.Australian Jezza 08:40, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm a native Visayan speaker, I also speak tagalog and english, and yes I agree. However it should be noted that very few English words actually get adopted into filipino languages without being hispanized first. It's a quirk. 'Airplane' for example, while colloquially called 'Erpleyn' (or something like that, haha), by uneducated people is referred to as 'Eroplano' (or 'Aeroplano') more formally in Visayan. This applies to new English terms as well which did not exist back then. Like scientific fields - Neurology for example, noes not become Neurolodyi as expected but is hispanized first before being spelled in the Visayan way - Neurolohiya. The same thing happens in most other filipino languages.-- Obsidi ♠ n Soul  06:19, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * But that is not the case with espisyal. Words like Neurolohiya were borrowed in modern times and hispanized. Espisyal was borrowed from Spanish "especial". I am quite sure Filipinos in Rizal's time know and said the Spanish word especial (but pronouncing it our way). Neurolohiya, on the other hand, is not something that Filipinos in Spanish times would be using in regular conversation. Technical terms look awkward when borrowed from English, and are often "filipinized" by "hispanizing" them first. In the case of Eroplano, the original English word was Aeroplane, so it was easy to hispanize it to eroplano. Airplane is a newer word. In fact, "eroplano" probably pre-dated "airplane", since aeroplane was the accepted English word then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.129.73 (talk) 13:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

removed content: gane

 * 1) gane: hearsay word, expresses the information in the sentence is second-hand; he said, she said, they said, it was said, allegedly, reportedly, supposedly.

The word gane, which means, “he said/she said/they said”, is sometimes joined to real translations of “he said/she said”, which is matud niya, and “they said”, which is matud nila. It is also joined to the Cebuano of “you said”, which is matud nimo. But this time, gane means “supposedly, reportedly, or allegedly.”

''Matud niya gane. '' He/she supposedly said.

''Matud nila gane. '' They supposedly said.

''Matud nimo gane. '' You supposedly said. Jordz (talk) 09:45, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

THANKS, Luther

Dear Luther,

All these sentences are correct. However I have some explainations on them.

Sentences 1 and 2 are both in the 2nd sentence type (non-equtional sentence) and differ only that in sentence 1 the object of the verb is a definite thing and in sentence 2 is an indefinite thing( actually the correct equivalent for the indefinite form is "sa usa ka bato" and the form used in sentence 2 is a unique characteristic on Philippine languages that has no English equivalent). The argument in the verb on both sentences is actor argument and in the durative configuration. This type of argument is similar to the English active voice.

Structurally speaking however sentence 1 has more segments (3 segments) than sentence 2 (2 segmants only). The segments are:

topic segment: Ang tawo coment segment: magdala / magdala og bato oblique segment: sa bato

Sentence 3 is similar to sentence 1 but this time it is in the direct object argument, volitive configuration. This argument is similar to the English passive voice. As you can see it here trans- argumentation from sentence 1 to 3 is posible but not with sentence 2. This is because og is not a case marker but a specifier. Also trans-argumentation requires a switch in function between the topic segment and one of the oblique segments. In the case of sentence two there is no oblique segment which makes tran-argumentation impossible. I only have recently discovered it and the similarity of og, nga, ka, and existential y in this respect. However a sentence with similar thought as in sentence 2 can be expressed by switching from non-equational to equational sentence.

Sentences 4 and 5 are just rearrangements of 1 and 2 so there is no need of discussing it. In fact Cebuano in this respect is similar to Latin in which each grammatical segments can appear anywhere in the sentence without any substantial change thought/context.

Sentences 6, 7 and 8 are sentence switch from 1 and 2. Sentence switch is not similar to trans-argumentation. In trans-argumentation the comment although undergoes change in conjugation, does not change function. In sentence swith the original comment might be promoted into a new topic or demoted just as a mere modifier of one of the segment.

Indigenous terms
Please do not remove indigenous terms, as in this edit. Including such indigenous terms in an article about the language itself is encyclopedic and quite appropriate, and calling the inclusion of these terms POV, as in this edit summary, is highly inappropriate. Badagnani (talk) 07:31, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * The terms are contradictory to making the article accessible to readers. Since the terms have English equivalents, I vote that the English equivalents be used. The indigenous terms further complicate the matter when the article should more salient.

 * If this were the Cebuano language version of the article, I would agree, however, this is the English version.

Official language?
In the info box in the upper right, the article says "Official language in	Regional language in the Philippines." To me this implies that Cebuano is an official language in Cebu or some other region or province. This implies that the Philippines is like many countries and has different official languages in differ provinces or political sub-groupings. But that is not the case, right? There are only two official language -- Filipino (Tagalog) and English. Is Cebuano an official official language anywhere? Is it taught in school? Used officially by schools or other government agencies? In other words, is it like Welsh in Wales or even Scottish Gaelic? --Bruce Hall (talk) 13:44, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No it is not. Philippine law as of now does not define any official languages specific to Philippine regions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.29.112.174 (talk) 18:37, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

More history and context, and maybe less technical
This article seems to be mostly about the language from a technical perspective, so to speak, i.e. about grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and the like. There is little about the history of the language or the cultural and historical significance of it. Where did it come from? Who speaks it? What are the political and cultural issues surrounding it? Etc. For general interest readers who have little to no interest in the details of the internal structure of the language -- in other words encyclopedia readers -- there is little information, I think. Perhaps expanding it would be in order. --Bruce Hall (talk) 13:44, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Imperative
I don't speak Cebuano, but one of the examples of imperatives given seemed weird to me. The second example says: b) "Ako nang gi sugba." = I already grilled it. Now in English there is no way that that sentance could be imperative, it's giving information (indicative I would presume), is that different in Cebuano, or is the sentence just there to illustrate the difference between the two aspects?  If it was just there as contrast, then that should probably be made clearer. thanks.130.216.234.97 (talk) 05:32, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Rajmaan (talk) 07:05, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Citations and sources are needed
A great deal of this article appears to be unsourced original research. As well, a large part of it seems to be a detailed grammar manual for the language, which is outside the scope of Wikipedia. But for now, I'll just concentrate on the lack of sources.

Editors have in the past challenged some of this unsourced material by adding citation needed tags in order to allow some time for sources to be added. After quite some time had passed and no editors located sources, some of the challenged material was removed. Recently, an editor has added back a very large amount of unsourced material, without adding the requested citations. I don't think that is quite right, so am bringing it to the Talk page to discuss here.

In my view, if citations are not added for challenged material, then after some reasonable period of time, the challenged material should be removed from the Wikipedia article mainspace, until such time as an editor or editors come along who choose to help make it explicitly verifiable. Does anyone have any special guidelines applicable to this article that might allow for unsourced material to stay in this article, beyond the ordinary Wikipedia policy for such? N2e (talk) 00:12, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

 * IMO, this article is an impressive labour of love. But I did delete copious amounts of text from an amazingly huge article, which largely seems to be a learning lesson. Wikipedia is not a Berlitz academy. The article's creator restored it and I didn't feel like pursuing it because frankly it's not an area of expertise of mine. All the Filipino languages will need to be treated equally, and like I said, this is not a Berlitz academy.  Quis separabit?  03:23, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Much/most of what you deleted at one time has been added back to the article. Seems rather unencyclopedic to me to have so much Ceuano grammar details here.  N2e (talk) 04:19, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

User:Rms125a@hotmail.com, I have again removed the extensive and detailed section of the article on Grammar, per consensus. Apparent original research, and nearly no citations to sources.

It would probably be helpful for an editor to write a high-level summary of Cebuano grammar, based entirely on a reliable source, if such a source exists, and put a paragraph or two back into the article that avoids all the "grammar manual" aspects of the removed text. Cheers. 23:47, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Yes, those claims are clearly inconsistent. However, the larger problem is that none of that appears to be sourced.

 * Without reliable sources, we really have no means of saying what, of any, of these statements are verifiable, and therefore, ought to be allowed in Wikipedia. I have challenged a few of those statements, so that a wider search for sources might be begun.  N2e (talk) 17:59, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Pronunciation of Language
Given that this is now the second largest Wikipedia by number of articles, it is probably appropriate to have the IPA pronunciation of the language itself on this page. English is generally ambiguous as to whether c is pronounced as an alveolar fricative or a velar stop. From the Cebu article, I gather that it is the former. 157.127.239.146 (talk) 18:59, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Oh, now I see it in the info box. Can we put it inline with the article, as well, like Tagalog language? 157.127.239.146 (talk) 19:11, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

6000 years?
"Cebuano, or its ancestor language, has been spoken since the Proto-Austronesian era (c. 6000 years ago) in the Sugbu (Cebu) heartland" How is this possible? It only takes hundreds of years for languages to evolve or fork. For example, Latin was the language of the Roman empire just 2000 years ago, but it has now broken up into the Romance languages. 4000 years ago was when the Proto-Malayo-Polynesian (PMP) branch started to diverge, and it is unthinkable for Cebuano to already have its own branch then. Did Cebuano exist before PMP? It was only 1200 years ago when the ancestor of Meso-Philippine languages (Tagalog, Bikol, Proto-Visayan) and still a few centuries later did Proto-Visayan break up into Cebuano, Ilonggo, and Samar-Leyte. Cebuano as a distinct branch is only at most a thousand years old (though of course the language of a thousand years ago would be different from today), and the Tagalog branch is only about a couple of centuries older. Isn't this quote misleading? If it refers to Cebuano as part of Proto-Austronesian (PAN), then we can also say that the rest of the Philippines spoke PAN, since the movement of PAN is southward from Formosa. If it is trying to project glory on the Cebuano language, there are other ways to do it than misleading the reader into thinking that the language already existed 6000 years ago when it is in fact only a thousand years old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.129.73 (talk) 13:31, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Possible new section
I think it is quite interesting that the Cebuano wikipedia is one of the largest Wikipedias, comparable to the English Wikipedia.

Under §Nomenclature it’s explained how the Spanish word "Cebuano" come about.

I know that’s because the U.S. took over as colonial rulers in 1898 (?) and at this time acquired toponyms were not being anglicized for a long time already (cp., say, "San Francisco" instead of "Saint Francis" or even "Detroit" instead of "Strait", but "New Orleans" not "Nouvelle Orleans"), but it’s worth a contextualizing sentence.

Michael B. Coleman

Michael B. Coleman (born November 18, 1954 ) is an American politician of the Democratic Party who served as the 52nd mayor of Columbus, Ohio. He was the first African-American to serve as the mayor of Ohio's capital city.

Coleman was a member of the Columbus City Council from 1992 to 1999, serving as its president from 1997 to 1999. In 1998, Coleman was the running mate for gubernatorial candidate Lee Fisher. Coleman ran for and won the Columbus mayorship in 1999 and was re-elected unopposed November 4, 2003.

In February 2005, Coleman announced that he would run for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio in the 2006 gubernatorial election, but subsequently dropped out of the race on November 29, 2005, citing heavy work and family obligations. In 2007, Mayor Coleman won a third term as mayor of Columbus. In 2011, he was re-elected for a fourth term.

In January 2014, as he began his 15th year in office, Coleman achieved the distinction of being the longest-serving mayor in Columbus' history.

On November 25, 2014, Coleman announced that he would not run for reelection. His final term in office ended on January 1, 2016, when he was succeeded by Columbus City Council President and fellow Democrat Andrew Ginther.

Early life and education
Michael B. Coleman was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on November 18, 1954, and moved to Toledo at an early age. After growing up in the Toledo area, Coleman earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Cincinnati and a Juris Doctor from the University of Dayton School of Law.

Attorney
From 1984 to 1999, Coleman was an attorney in the business practice of Columbus law firm Schottenstein, Zox & Dunn Co. LPA, eventually becoming a partner.

Columbus City Council
Michael B. Coleman began his career in public office when he was appointed to Columbus City Council in 1992. He was subsequently re-elected to two terms in office. Coleman served as Columbus City Council President from 1997 until his election as mayor in 1999.

1998 and 2006 gubernatorial races
Coleman was selected as the 1998 Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor of Ohio, on the same ballot as Lee Fisher. Fisher and Coleman lost a heavily contested race to Bob Taft and Maureen O'Connor.

In 2005, Michael B. Coleman was the first Democrat to announce in the Democratic primary for governor of Ohio. But on November 29, 2005, he withdrew from the race, citing family concerns and also that the city of Columbus needed him in his current role as mayor.

Coleman later endorsed fellow Democrat Ted Strickland for governor. After Strickland's victory in November 2006, Coleman was selected as chair for Strickland's transition team.

Mayor of Columbus
After winning election in 1999, Coleman was re-elected as mayor of Columbus in 2003, 2007 and 2011.

Since 2000, under Mayor Coleman, the city of Columbus has spent $54 million less than budgeted. At the same time, he helped boost the city's spending on police and fire services from 63 percent of the city operating budget to 71 percent in 2005. Under Coleman, the city has also cut more than $190 million from continuation budgeting levels since 2000, despite increases in costs for medical insurance, wages and workers compensation. As of 2013, bonds issued by the city of Columbus received a AAA bond rating from all three major rating services, the highest possible rating.

, Coleman was a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition (now known as Everytown for Gun Safety), a bi-partisan group with a stated goal of "making the public safer by getting illegal guns off the streets." The coalition was then co-chaired by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Coleman was a long-list finalist for the 2008 World Mayor award.

2007 mayoral campaign
During the 2007 mayoral campaign, Coleman was opposed by lawyer William Todd, a Republican. Todd claimed Coleman was soft on crime and ineffective on economic development. Coleman was re-elected, with the certified results showing he received more than 69 percent of 105,792 votes cast to Todd's 30 percent.

2010 immigration debate
In the spring of 2010 Mayor Coleman banned city workers from traveling to Arizona in a boycott over an Arizona law allowing police officers to demand documentation of citizenship of anyone suspected of being in the United States illegally. Coleman compared the Arizona measure to 19th-century laws that required freed slaves to carry emancipation papers. He said his boycott was intended to show Arizona that its law enforcing illegal immigration measures is not the American way. While travel by city workers to Arizona is prohibited, police officers will be able to travel for the purpose of criminal extradition. Contracts with Arizona companies will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Mayor. Redflex Traffic Systems, which is based in Arizona, operates 20 red-light cameras in Columbus. The red-light cameras issue tickets to red-light runners, the program will not be rescinded as a result of the ban, and in fact the number of red-light cameras will double as recently approved by city council.

Columbus Mayoral election, 2011
Mayor Coleman ran in 2011 for a fourth term as mayor of Columbus against Republican challenger Earl W. Smith. On November 8, 2011, Coleman won re-election, receiving just under 70 percent of 179,032 votes cast.

Longest-serving mayor
On January 2, 2014, Coleman began his 15th year in office and became the city's longest-serving mayor. He surpassed the tenure of M.E. "Jack" Sensenbrenner, who served a total of 14 years as mayor in separate tenures from 1954 to 1960 and 1964 to 1972. Coleman was also the country's longest-serving black mayor.

Return to private practice
On November 25, 2014, Coleman formally announced that he would not seek a fifth term as mayor of Columbus in the 2015 election. In November 2015, Coleman announced that he would return in 2016 to the practice of law with Indianapolis-based law firm Ice Miller LLP, which merged with his old Columbus law firm Schottenstein, Zox & Dunn Co. LPA in 2012. Coleman serves as director of business and government strategies and a partner in the firm's Arena District office.

In March 2018, the City of Columbus dedicated its new municipal office building to Coleman. The Michael B. Coleman Government Center houses the Building and Zoning, Public Service and Development departments and some Public Utility offices.

Personal life
In 1984, Coleman married his wife Frankie; it was the second marriage for both. The Colemans have three adult children: Kimberly; Justin, who is an officer with the Columbus Division of Police; and John-David, who served as a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. In October 2009, Mayor and Mrs. Coleman announced that they were in the process of divorcing. In early 2011 the Colemans filed for a dissolution, which was subsequently granted.

In September 2016, Coleman married longtime companion and president of the L Brands Foundation Janelle Simmons.

Coleman is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi as well as a Prince Hall Freemason. He belongs to St. Mark's Lodge #7 in Columbus, Ohio.

Elliot Paul

Elliot Harold Paul (February 10, 1891 – April 7, 1958) was an American journalist and writer.

Biography
Paul was born in Linden, a part of Malden, Massachusetts, the son of Harold Henry Paul and Lucy Greenleaf Doucette. He graduated from Malden High School then worked in the U.S. West on the government Reclamation projects for several years until 1914 when he returned home and took a job as a reporter covering legislative events at the State House in Boston. In 1917, he joined the U.S. Army Signals Corps to fight in World War I. Paul served in France where he fought in the Battle of Saint-Mihiel and in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Following the war's end, he returned home and to a job as a journalist. At this time, he began writing books, inspired in part by his military experiences.

By 1925 Elliot Paul had already seen three of his novels published when he left America to join many of his literary compatriots in the Montparnasse Quarter of Paris, France. There, he worked for a time at the Chicago Tribune's International Edition (so-called Paris Edition), before joining Eugene and Maria Jolas as co-editor of the literary journal, transition. A friend of both James Joyce and Gertrude Stein, Paul defied Ernest Hemingway's maxim that "if you mentioned Joyce twice to Stein, you were dead." Paul was a great enthusiast of Stein's work, equating its "feeling for a continuous present" with jazz.

Paul returned to the newspaper business, to the Paris Herald and to write more novels in his spare time. He had completed three more books when he suffered from a nervous breakdown and abruptly left Paris to recuperate in the Spanish village of Santa Eulalia on the island of Ibiza. With virtually no one in the literary community knowing where he was, in her 1933 The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, Stein mused over his "disappearance."

Caught in the middle of the Spanish Civil War, he was inspired to write the well-received Life and Death of a Spanish Town. Forced to flee Spain, he returned to Paris and produced detective fiction featuring the amateur sleuth Homer Evans, as well as crafting what is considered as one of his best works, The Last Time I Saw Paris.

Back in the United States following the outbreak of World War II, Elliot Paul turned to screenwriting where in Hollywood, between 1941 and 1953, he participated in the writing of ten screenplays, the most remembered of which is the 1945 production, Rhapsody in Blue; he also wrote the screenplay for the Poverty Row production of New Orleans, a fictional history of Storyville jazz featuring Billie Holiday in her only acting role. He also contributed to London Town (1946), one of the most infamous flops in British cinema history. In 1949 he provided subtitles for the US release of Claude Autant-Lara's film Devil in the Flesh (Le Diable au corps).

Contemptuous of the censorship imposed on the studios by the Hays Code, Paul mocked Hollywood's hypocritical puritanism in his satiric book from 1942, With a Hays Nonny Nonny, where he reworked Bible stories so that they complied with the Code. The Book of Esther, for example, becomes a vehicle for Don Ameche, with Groucho Marx as Mordecai.

A talented pianist, he frequently supplemented his income by playing at local clubs in the Los Angeles area.

Paul married and divorced five times - Rosa Gertrude Brown (1919-1925), Camille Haynes (1925-1937), Flora Thompson (1937-1940), Barbara Mayock (1940-1949), and Nancy Dolan McMahon (1950-1957). He had one son with Camille Haynes. He died in 1958 at the Veterans' Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island.

Almucantar

An almucantar (also spelled almucantarat or almacantara) is a circle on the celestial sphere parallel to the horizon. Two stars that lie on the same almucantar have the same altitude. The term was introduced into European astronomy by monastic astronomer Hermann Contractus of Reichenau, Latinized from the Arabic word al-muqanṭarah ("the almucantar, sundial", plural: al-muqanṭarāt), derived from qanṭarah ("arch, bridge")

Almucantar staff
An almucantar staff is an instrument chiefly used to determine the time of sunrise and sunset, in order to find the amplitude and consequently the variations of the compass. Usually made of pear tree or boxwood, with an arch of 15° to 30°, it is an example of a backstaff. The sun casts that shadow of a vane (B in the adjacent image) on a horizon vane (A). The horizon vane has a slit or hole to allow the observer to see the horizon in the distance. The observer aligns the horizon and shadow so they show at the same point on the horizon vane and sets the sighting vane (C) to align his line of sight with the horizon. The altitude of the sun is the angle between the shadow vane and the sighting vane (B-A-C).

Solar almucantar
The almucantar plane that contains the Sun is used to characterize multiple scattering of aerosols. Measurements are carried out rapidly at several angles at both sides of the Sun using a spectroradiometer or a photometer. There are several models to obtain aerosol properties from the solar almucantar. The most relevant were developed by Oleg Dubovik and used in the NASA AERONET network and by Teruyuki Nakajima (named SkyRad.pack).

Talk:Wyndham Lewis

Untitled
The link to the Lewis clip at the NPG is wrong. The correct one is: http://www.npg.org.uk:8080/wyndhamlewis/menof1914/furore.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.108.42.66 (talk) 22:18, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

An anon removed the setence (which followed mention of Lewis's book Hitler) "His associating with the British Fascist Party did not help." Why was this removed? Did Lewis not, in fact, associate himself with the BFP? I was under the impression that he did, but I'm loath to dig out sources unless somebody wants me to. Unless it's untrue, it probably ought to go back in, but I'll wait a bit for responses, since I may be simply misinformed. --Camembert

 * Don't know the answer, but maybe they felt it was NPOV - maybe they felt it could be argued that his association with the BFP did help! Deb 17:35, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Depends what you mean by 'associated'. Lewis knew Mosely (and painted his portrait) but, to the best of my knowledge, never joined the party. User:BScotland

 * Lewis was never a member of the British Union of Fascists (as the 'British Fascist Party' was actually called), but contributed an article to the British Union Quarterly in January 1937. He produced two portrait drawings of Mosley. 194.81.81.50 10:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Birth date?
What year was Lweis born extactly? I've read various site and they varies from 1882, 1884, to 1886.

NPOV re: first Hitler book
What does the phrase "insufficiently critical" mean in the context of Lewis' first book about Adolf Hitler? It doesn't strike me as a NPOV statement, as it reflects merely the position of Hitler's post-war critics. Therefore, it should be removed, or more neutrally reworded. According to whom was its criticism "insufficient"? I'm sure there were many pundits and other critics who lambasted it at the time. These sources would help bring this section more in line with NPOV guidelines. I shall begin my search presently. Curtsurly 16:34, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Paul O'Keeffe's biography quotes critical reactions from 1931, including one that says 'Here is a mere "write-up" of the Nazi case, entirely uncritical, vague and unsubstantial' (Some Sort of Genius, p. 302). I have altered the sentence in the article to satisfy Curtsurly's objections. 194.81.81.50 10:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Wyndham Lewises
There seem to be several: Percy Wyndham Lewis here, D. B. Wyndham-Lewis, and the first husband of Mary Anne Disraeli. Time for disambiguation?--Henrygb 14:52, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * D.B. Wyndham-Lewis was no relation. (Note the hyphen.) Valetude (talk) 13:47, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

 * FWIW, there was also a Geoffrey Wyndham Lewis, author of The Silent Inn (1935). {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.208.88.97 (talk) 22:03, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Spanish Civil War
From the article "The Surrender of Barcelona (1936-38) makes a significant statement about the Spanish Civil War." Further explanation of the picture is necessary. What is this "significant statement" exactly? It's important because you can tell a great deal about a person's political beliefs from their views on the Spanish Civil War. --Tothebarricades 07:43, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

The Surrender of Barcelona (Tate Gallery) was painted in 1936 and was originally called The Siege of Barcelona. Its source is Prescott's History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic (1902), and it depicts an event of 1472. Lewis wrote that he had "set out to paint a Fourteenth Century scene [sic] as I should do it could I be transported there." Lewis was clearly aware of the historical parallel, and retitled the painting after the fall of Barcelona in the Spanish Civil War. Lewis was sympathetic to the Francoist side during the Spanish Civil War. His retitling of the picture, when he reproduced it in his 1939 collection of writings, Wyndham Lewis the Artist: From Blast to Burlington House, may nevertheless be related to a passage in the book where he laments the fall of the city and the extinction (as he sees it) of the vibrant culture associated with it. Lewis's attitude to history (as shown in Time and Western Man, was that its cyclical repetitions were not necessary and could be avoided. This painting was probably intended to draw attention to one such repetition rather than to show a political commitment by Lewis to one side or the other in the Civil War.  194.81.81.51 18:38, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Poet?
His entry at List of people by name: Lew called him simply a poet, but i saw no support at all for that role, and made him "British painter, novelist & critic" (with that much detail to help those confused about the name of *D. B. Wyndham-Lewis, 7 years his junior and "British journalist, biographer, humorist, & screenwriter"). Someone who knows what they're doing may have a correction. --Jerzy•t 07:10, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * He also wrote poetry and plays; his collect poems and plays atr published by Carcanet. Filiocht | The kettle's on 07:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Sinclair Lewis image
Someone has replaced the photo of Wyndham Lewis by Alvin Langdon Coburn with one of Sinclair Lewis. I do not have the technical knowledge to reverse the process.195.137.62.56 17:26, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. -Wikeawade

Removed identification with "Bloomsbury"
I removed this because it appears from this essay that Lewis was independent of Bloomsbury painters.

Wyndham Lewis Paintings and Drawings, by Walter Michel, Introductory Essay by Hugh Kenner; p. 64,65: The Vorticist Movement; "The first important grouping of 'Post-Impressionists' in London was Roger Fry's Omega Workshops.  But soon after its opening in 1913, some of the members found reasons to be dissatisfied with the way in which the enterprise was conducted, and in October four of them, Cuthbert Hamilton, Edward Wadsworth, Frederick Etchells, and Lewis, jointly resigned, with the publication of a 'round robin' attacking Fry's direction...But until the Post-Impressionist Exhibition in October 1913 Lewis avoided associating himself with 'Bloomsbury', showing neither with the Grafton Group nor the 'Friday Club' (dominated by Fry, Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell) in whose annual exhibitions several of the other Vorticists-to-be took part."

p. 74: "Contemporary English artists, institutions or associations of painters -- the Slade School, the New English Art Club, the British 'Fauves' through their journal Rhythm, and the 'Bloomsbury' painters -- provide the background for London's modern art movement, but they had little to offer Lewis."

p. 148: "He was not represented in the Penguin Modern Painters series, published in the fourties and fifties, an omission which he attributed to 'Bloomsbury' influence."

Camden Town Group
'He was an unlikely founder-member of the Camden Town Group in 1911.' This disembodied statement needs explaining. Valetude (talk) 13:51, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

"Men of 1914" ?
I am not a literary scholar. I came across this term as part of the thesis title ("Consciousness versus authority : a study of the critical debate between the Bloomsbury Group and the Men of 1914, 1910-1930 ") of Mary Totah, a woman nominated at AfD,, and I was puzzled as I hadn't heard of the term and can't find it in Wikipedia.

Various sources lead me to Lewis, such as "The modernism of the “Men of 1914”—that group of writers so named by Wyndham Lewis that includes himself, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and James Joyce and "..what Wyndham Lewis called the 'men of 1914' ", but it's not mentioned here on his page.

Could someone perhaps add a mention if it seems appropriate, and redirect the term to this article? Pam D  10:43, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Published but incorrect year of death
I have no doubt that the currently given date of Lewis's death, 7 March 1957, is correct.

However, I have found that on the back cover of an edition of his 1955 novel Monstre Gai, Jupiter Book J-12 published by John Calder (Publishers) Ltd in 1965, the back-cover blurb includes the statement "The author, who died in 1951, was a central figure . . . [etc.]."

I mention this here in case it becomes a source of confusion in the future. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.208.88.97 (talk) 22:12, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
