Brad Blum

Brad Blum (born 1953) is the Co-Owner of FoodFirst Global Restaurants. He was the Founder, Chairman & CEO of FoodFirst Global Restaurants, Inc., upon the establishment of the company in May 2018. Previously he was the CEO of Burger King from December 2002 to July 2, 2004. He joined the company from Darden Restaurants where he had headed the Olive Garden unit, but left after only 18 months citing strategic differences with Burger King's board. Blum's successor, Greg Brenneman, was appointed on August 1, 2004. Blum was the CEO of Romano's Macaroni Grill from December 2008 to July 2010.

Education
Blum graduated from Denison University with a BA in Economics and Urban Studies. He continued his formal education by earning an MBA in marketing and finance from Northwestern's J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management.

General Mills
After college, Blum worked with General Mills as a marketing executive. He worked at General Mills on both a national and international level.

Blum helped to lead a start-up company called "Cereal Partners Worldwide" (CPW) in Switzerland; they had partnered up with Nestlé for an equal interest in the company, 50/50. Cereal Partners Worldwide is a large international company with sales exceeding $2,500,000 per year. Blum is credited with putting the first female athlete on a Wheaties box (Mary Lou Retton), and with putting the first African American athlete on a Wheaties box (Walter Payton). Blum also invented a new cereal for General Mills: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the company's most profitable brands

Olive Garden
Starting in 1994, Blum left General Mills and joined Olive Garden as its executive vice president of marketing. He was later promoted to president. For the next eight years he oversaw Olive Garden's growth. Under Blum's leadership as the chief executive, Olive Garden achieved 57 consecutive quarters of same-restaurant sales increases, with continually increasing profits. The company's restaurant branch average increased by 67 percent during Blum's time there. In 2000, he won the MUFSO (Multi-Unit Foodservice Operators) Operator of the Year, a very high honor within the restaurant industry. In early 2002, he left Olive Garden.

Darden Restaurants
In March 2002, Blum moved further up the ladder to become Vice Chairman of Darden Restaurants, the owner of the Olive Garden restaurant chain. Because of his leadership, Olive Garden became Darden's most successful and recognizable company. Blum oversaw Olive Garden and Smokey Bones (considered one of Darden's most promising new restaurant companies). Darden was, and is, considered the largest casual dining restaurant company in the world, and Blum oversaw quality assurance, purchasing, and distribution for all the brand-name restaurants that Darden owned. Purchasing included the very fickle and mercurial business of global fish and seafood supply for Red Lobster. Blum also evaluated up and coming restaurants for newly prospective acquisitions.

Burger King
Blum was named the CEO of Burger King in late 2002, having been hired to turn the declining company around. He was hired after Diageo sold Burger King Corporation to the private equity group of Texas Pacific Group, Bain Capital, and Goldman Sachs. During his tenure at Burger King, Blum oversaw the company's improvement in its financial performance. In his first year, profits doubled and positive growth was trending; the average restaurant sales increased from a loss of 7% to a growth of 4%. This proved advantageous when the company initiated an IPO in 2006.

Romano's Macaroni Grill
In late 2008, Romano's Macaroni Grill was suffering declines in sales, profits, and market share of the casual dining industry, and hired Blum as its CEO. He oversaw a turnaround in the same-restaurant sales from an annual loss of 11% to a 3% profit. Macaroni Grill's change in fortunes was partially based on a complete revamp the chain's menu, reorienting its cooking style on a more Mediterranean method of preparing and cooking food. In the first fifteen months, the changes to the menu not only improved the quality of the chain's products but also lowered its production costs. The caloric content of the products was reduced by 49% from the previous menu, along with a 59% reduction in fat and a 46% reduction in sodium. Blum's name for the change was called "Quality up, Costs down." As a result of these menu improvements, customer satisfaction rate for the chain grew. In May 2010, Nation's Restaurant News named Blum the Menu Master's Innovator of the Year in the restaurant industry for his accomplishments at Macaroni Grill.

FoodFirst Global Restaurants
Blum and Brazilian-based investment firm GP Investments, Ltd. formed FoodFirst Global Restaurants, Inc. and acquired its first brands, Brio Tuscan Grille™ (Brio) and Bravo Cucina Italiana™ (Bravo) on May 24, 2018. In early 2020, Blum resigned as Chairman and CEO but remains a Co-Owner of the company.

Personal life
Blum's hometown is Cincinnati, Ohio. His hobby is auto racing.

Talk:Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

SC comments
, An excellent rewriting which I thoroughly enjoyed. Only a few small trifling comments from me:

 * Shouldn't Ancien Régime be italicised throughout?
 * "the new regime": as this is in English, it shouldn't carry the accent
 * Check the inconsistency in serial commas (you both use and don't use it – "Rabelais, Voltaire and Rousseau" Vvs "port, Madeira, and punch", for example)

I hope these are useful, and I look forward to seeing this with a green cross at the top. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 16:43, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * They are indeed useful. Thank you!  Tim riley  talk   18:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * And now attended to.  Tim riley  talk   10:34, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Original publication date
I came looking for the original publication date of Physiologie du goût and am surprised to find it's not mentioned. I've found it (1825) on the French Wikipedia article (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiologie_du_go%C3%BBt), and suggest it might be appropriate to include it here. ӎᴀʀ ₲₳ƝϪѲƝƋ 10:08, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarGanxona (talk • contribs)

"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are."
@Tim riley: Is there any chance this is related to the expression "you are what you eat"? — V ORTEX  3427 (Talk!) 16:08, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I have no expert knowledge at all of this, but I suspect there is no direct connexion, similar though the sentiments are, or may be thought to be. In the 1860s, Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach wrote, "Der Mensch ist, was er ißt" (Mankind is what he eats), but a swift Googling shows that the modern phrase you quote is chiefly associated with an American nutritionist, Victor Lindlahr, who put forward the "you are what you eat" line in the 1930s and 1940s. I have not seen anything to suggest that either Feuerbach or Lindlahr was consciously reflecting Brillat-Savarin's thoughts.  Tim riley  talk   16:42, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

David's opinion on whether or not cheese is fattening
Regarding this edit, I do not have full access to David's book, but my very incomplete impression is that David is not solely saying cheese is fattening, but also that it is unnecessary added calories. Anyone following Brillat-Savarin's guidelines would for a meal have plenty of food to sustain them by the time dessert came around... but of course, neither David nor Brillat-Savarin were claiming otherwise.

Regardless, it isn't for us to imply that Brillat-Savarin was incorrect or was being hypocritical by advocating cheese as a dessert, so that wording was not appropriate. An opinion essay from 1984 or earlier is not exactly a WP:MEDRS, and it's not clear that this comment from David provides clarity on Brillat-Savarin specifically. Of course, if an WP:IS talks about David's comment, that would provide context. Grayfell (talk) 20:52, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

 * It is appropriate in a "Reputation and influence" section: we're not advocating either side here, we're covering Brillat-Savarin's writings and other people's reactions to and thoughts on them. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 21:18, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

 * I think in a subtle way it is taking a side, but I guess I haven't managed to explain that very well.
 * I introduced the word "apparently" to that section in an edit summary, but that was not intended to be in the article. So who is this apparent to? Is supposed to be apparent to us from the preceding paragraph, or was it apparent to David per the source? If it's to David, the paragraph should be reorganized to make that clear. If we're telling readers that it is apparent to them, it's a subtle bit of editorializing. It does help with the flow of the article, but editorializing is still editorializing. Grayfell (talk) 21:37, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not sureI'd say the latterbut I can't say that it is editorialising, even subtly: stating that something is "apparent" should be above board in Wikipedia's book, and isn't on the no-no list at WP:EDITORIALISING, which bans more expressive terms (happily, interestingly, aptly etc). I'd say Tim riley could probably answer your question better than me. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 21:46, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm uncertain what point is being made here. Brillat-Savarin devotes several pages, between pp. 216 and 226 in my edition, to foods to be avoided because fattening; cheese is not among them. Mrs David's comments on his dictum can be found on p. 178 of An Omelette and a Glass of Wine.  Tim riley  talk   07:16, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Alfonso Ferrabosco the elder

Alfonso Ferrabosco (baptized 18 January 1543 – 12 August 1588) was an Italian composer. While mostly famous as the solitary Italian madrigalist working in England, and the one mainly responsible for the growth of the madrigal there, he also composed much sacred music. He also may have been a spy for Elizabeth I while he was in Italy.

His father, Domenico Ferrabosco, and son, Alfonso Ferrabosco the younger were also composers.

Life and career
He was the eldest son of Domenico Ferrabosco, and a member of an aristocratic Bolognese family which had many musicians among its members. Alfonso was born in Bologna. Little is known about his early life, but he is known to have spent part of it in Rome and part in Lorraine in the service of Charles of Guise. In 1562, probably with his uncle, he came to England for the first time, where he found employment with Elizabeth I. Throughout his life he made periodic trips to Italy, not without controversy, for evidently neither the Pope nor the Inquisition fully approved of his spending time in England, which was in the late 16th century actively at war with Roman Catholic countries. While in England, he lost his Italian inheritance, and while away in Italy he was charged with certain crimes in England (including robbing and killing another foreigner). While he was successful in clearing his name, he left England in 1578 and never returned; he died in Bologna.

Many have said that he was a secret service agent for Elizabeth, working during a time when such intelligence was desperately needed; however, little more than circumstantial evidence has ever been produced on this allegation. He was certainly unusually well-paid for a musician at the court of Elizabeth. Attempts by Elizabeth to get him to return to England after 1580 were fruitless.

Music
Ferrabosco brought the madrigal to England. While he did not start the madrigal craze there—that really began in 1588 with the publication of Nicholas Yonge's Musica Transalpina, the popularity of which was such that the madrigal instantly became the most prevalent type of composition in England—he did plant the seeds for this development. Ferrabosco's style may have been tame and conservative by the standards of a Marenzio or a Luzzaschi, but it was harmonious with English taste. Most of his madrigals were for five or six voices, were light in style, and largely ignored the progressive developments in Italy such as expressive chromaticism and word-painting. Technically they were skillful, and this is the quality that impressed the English commentators the most: "deep skill" was the phrase Thomas Morley used to describe his work when he published several of his compositions in a collection of 1598, ten years after his death. Robert Dow also included two of his works in his manuscript, now known as the Dow Partbooks.

In addition to the madrigals, Ferrabosco wrote sacred music, including motets, lamentations, and several anthems, all in a cappella vocal style. He also wrote instrumental music: fantasias, pavans, galliards, In Nomines, and passamezzos, for a variety of instrumental combinations including lute and viols.

The Cure for Insomnia

The Cure for Insomnia is a 1987 experimental film directed by John Henry Timmis IV, which was, according to Guinness World Records, the longest running film. At 5,220 minutes long (87 hours, or 3 days and 15 hours) in length, the film has no plot, instead consisting of artist L. D. Groban reading his 4,080-page poem A Cure for Insomnia over the course of three and a half days, spliced with occasional clips from heavy metal and pornographic videos.

It was first played in its entirety at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, (Illinois), from January 31 to February 3, 1987, in one continuous showing. It has not been released on DVD or other home video formats and all known copies are considered to be lost.

Category talk:Years

Moved from Wikipedia talk:Categorization
There's quite a lot of "X by year" articles and categories, so starting a series of "Category:[Year]" articles seems logical. Category:2004 would be a subcategory of Category:Years, but where would Category:Years go? -Sean Curtin 04:32, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * A hierarchy of time could be constructed... thusly.

2004--Years--\ |                       \  V                         \ 2000s-Decades->Master Timeline |                        /    (or whatever) V                       / 21st century--Centuries--/

 * 'Course, you still have the problem that 2000 is in the 2000s, but not in the 21st century. Might end up parenting 2000s to Master Timeline, and 2000 directly to 20th century, then 2001--2009 to 21st century... or something? I don't think there's an obvious clean way of doing it... grendel|khan 04:51, 2004 Jun 30 (UTC)

 * That system would put several thousand articles into Category:Years. Better to go Year -> Decade -> Century -> main timeline page, for readability's sake. -Sean Curtin 05:34, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * So the agreed solution looks to as:
 * - Time Line
 * -- Century (20'th Century)
 * --- Decade (1900-1909)
 * Year (1907)
 * But we have still to define the rules as what article would belong to these "Time Categories" and to which one of them, otherwise almost every article may belong to one or more of these categories (and we'll lose the benefits of Categorization). ^^ Dod1 05:05, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Agreed -- things shouldn't be put in year categories for insignificant dates. Perhaps restrict subcategories to Births in Year XXXX and Deaths in Year XXXX).

 * Also, it's not the right place for "Years", but note and compare Category:Calendars... Catherine | talk 20:51, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Events occuring in a year should probably be included in that year's category as well: it'll look quite odd to not see September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in Category:2001. Note that I'm only suggesting that for articles about events, not articles that refer to events; people can use "what links here" on the individual year pages for that. I definitely support the "births in XXXX"/"deaths in XXXX" categories, though the naming convention established with Category:Books by year and Category:Films by year suggests that they'd instead be titled, for example, Category:2004 births and Category:2004 deaths.

 * A related question: would it be worth it to create categories for specific dates? I doubt it: Events, holidays, births and deaths are already listed on the individual dates' pages. Still, it may be worth considering. -Sean Curtin 04:18, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Not all holidays are on the same date each year. And some holidays require an event, such as someone seeing the Moon, so can not be predicted exactly.  (SEWilco 06:17, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC))

 * I don't think date categories more specific than years would be helpful or well-maintained. "2004 births", "2004 deaths", "2004 events", then?  A note could be placed in the description section of each year's category page asking folks not to create more subcategories without discussing it on the Category:Master timeline (or whatever) discussion page first.....  Catherine | talk 06:29, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Am I right in thinking that the parent category for the year pages would need to be placed on Category:Fundamental? -Sean Curtin 05:48, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * I'd agree with that too. Catherine | talk 06:29, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * The parent category of "year pages" should be something related to Time, not simply "year pages". Specialty timelines are likely to belong nearby. (SEWilco 06:17, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC))

 * Possibly Category:History. -Sean Curtin 01:14, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Rhetorical question: Which calendar? (SEWilco 06:17, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC))

 * We need a year category! If no consensus on a name for the category is picked soon, I'll just be bold and make one up.  I don't think Category:History is where it should go, but that certainly would be a good parent for the category.  I would suggest Category:by year or Category:items by year or even Category:History by year. Category:lists of years is kinda ugly though. --ssd 13:30, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Category:Years seems fine by me; the name makes the contents obvious, and there's no chance of confusion with any other category like there might be with Category:Timeline. -Sean Curtin 21:35, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Anyone wanna second this motion? Years is fine with me as long as the individual years mostly go in subcategories so we don't have all 8000 of them in one spot. :) --ssd 01:11, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Someone has created Category:Events by year, so I moved all those into it that were not already there. --ssd 05:15, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Also: Category:2000, Category:1900 and the like present interesting challenges for parenting. Category:2000 goes under Category:2000s (for the decade) and also under Category:20th century; the rest of the years in Category:2000s go into Category:21st century.  Where will Category:2000s be parented? -Sean Curtin 21:45, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, as I see it, you've got 3 choices: 1) put them in the correct spot 2) put them where people will look for them 3) both. --ssd 01:11, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Years 40 to 1788
Shall we add a year category those years as well, similar to years 1789 (Category:1789) through 2005 (Category:2005) ? -- User:Docu
 * Definitely. I would favor consistency across the board, rather leaving them uncategorized, or arbitrarily picking a cutoff between one style of categorization and another. Plus, leaving them not done will only lead to edits such as this:, which is not a good thing. - 18:36, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC) Lee  (talk)

The bot is ready to add the category on the year pages and create the 1700 remaining year categories (e.g. Test on Category:51 and others of Category:50s). I added Template:Yearcat to the categories and intend to run the bot next weekend. - User:Docu

 * As there haven't been any objections, it's running now. -- User:Docu
 * Done. -- User:Docu

For the few years BC which have their own page (approx. 440 BC to 1 BC), we should probably categorize them in the same way. -- User:Docu

Centuries
Whoever created most of the "XX century" categories included the wrong years in them, stating that (for example) "The 1st century is from 0 to 99." Obviously this is wrong and now many of the existing century and millennium categories need to be fixed, as do almost all year categories ending in 00, 01 or 99. I think I've fixed all of the AD century categories, but may have missed some. -Sean Curtin 04:26, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Category:Births by year and Category:Deaths by year
Previously Category:2004 deaths was mentionned. It has now been created and it's part of Category:Births by year and Category:Deaths by year. The two categories seem quite suitable to identify biographies.

If we want use this type of category, I would be nice to have a tool to populate them, e.g. from List of people by name or the year pages. As a sample, I populated Category:1914 births and Category:1995 deaths (from 1914 and 1985). -- User:Docu

 * This function is better served by lists, not categories. I would prefer to use a scheme borrowed from As of, which is a special form of link for information which may date quickly.  I'd love to work with someone setting up a "Born in" and "Died in" series along these lines. -- Netoholic @ 02:52, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * I assume you mean "whatlinkshere" rather than lists. I'm not sure if the use of that with "As of" is really conclusive, i.e. Special:Whatlinkshere/As of 2004 isn't necessarily the most useful part of the "as of" solution. An advantage of the category solution is that they can only be applied to biography articles and it's quite easy to see if it's done correctly. Further, linking, e.g.
 * XYZ (1 September 1915-1 September 1985)
 * as
 * XYZ (1 September 1915-1 September 1985)
 * wouldn't allow the date formatting to work either. A special markup for DOB and DOD might be preferable, e.g.
 * XYZ (1 September 1915-1 September 1985)
 * but would have to be introduced first. -- User:Docu

 * No, I meant lists. The function I refer to (seeing who is born in what year) is best done by using the year pages, which already list famous births and deaths. I don't see any reason to clutter up the categories at the bottom of an article just to facilitate this, since very few readers would use the links. Using the XXXX and XXXX linking could achieve the same ends (editors locating that information), and is extremely similar to the existing "as of XXXX" system.  (As a side note, please sign your comments by appending with "-- ~" so your notes are properly signed and dated.) -- Netoholic @ 13:01, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Ok, then you prefer lists such as 1985, rather than the sample you quoted afterwards, e.g. Special:Whatlinkshere/Died in 1985. As previously stated, the later formatting ( XXXX and XXXX ) breaks the wiki-date formatting. -- User:Docu

For the moment, these categories should be deleted, as we already have valid lists of this information in each of the year articles. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 16:31, 2004 Sep 12 (UTC)
 * I agree. [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 00:01, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
 * I agree as well. Lists offer several advantages such as only displaying more notable births and deaths as well as giving a synopsis of who they are. Some of these year's catagories are already mammoth, and they're just a pile of uncatagorized names. I'm not convinced these are useful at all. Are we going to do births/deaths by day next? CoolHandLuke  17:59, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * When cross-referencing categories is fully implemented, these will be very useful in determining people who were alive in any given year, which is a function that cannot be achieved by lists. -Sean Curtin 04:25, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
 * I disagree. User:Cool Hand Luke points out that lists can be used for notable births and deaths. This is the advantage of lists, but also their disadvantage. A list of notable births is always going to be subjective. Whereas a category should be a comprehensive collection of all the articles covered by that category. I see the lists and categories existing side by side without a problem; the list offers births (or deaths) in various subjective collections, whereas the categories offer all births. If the categories get too large then they can be split into sub categories (eg. births by country). MarkS 21:58, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * That was one of the main arguments for keeping when both categories were brought up on Categories for deletion. - Sean Curtin 01:15, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)

For further discussion of this topic, see Wikipedia_talk:People_by_year.

Years BC
Why, oh why must we have categories for years like 86 BC? In the unlikely event that we get some 86 BC in ... articles, then a category would make sense, but this is just pointlessly cluttering up the articles. Everyking 16:07, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * See the discussion above about which category to add. The main problem is to choose the cut-off for categories by year. Currently they go from 100 BC to AD 2004 and even beyond (Category:Years in the future).

 * If it's just the fact that there is a category on 86 BC bothers you, you can choose the Monobook skin displaying it at the end of the page. It's probably possible to modify it to not display the categories at all, but we would want to add one category or the other anyways. -- User:Docu

 * I just used that as an example because it was on my watchlist. I don't understand the point of one-article categories, especially when there is, for most of them, no real prospect of there ever being more than one. I would say there should be no cut-off; it should just be determined on a case by case basis, depending on whether or not Year in ___ articles exist to be categorized. Everyking 21:36, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * With the idea of having a category for every page (including 86 BC which currently fills Special:Uncategorized pages with other years BC), it would be either Category:80s BC or Category:86 BC. Having categories by year prepared in advance, makes it quite easy to add specific articles to the categories. I started with the battles from List of battles 1400 BC-AD 600.-- User:Docu

Despite briefly discussing this with Docu and reading this page, I still don't see how it's useful to have category pages for years at all, since they are just duplicating the year pages (and are actually less informative because the year articles can have red links). Adam Bishop 13:21, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if they are really to be compared. Year categories allow to select articles by year, decade, century. A year page is a summary to be read as is. -- User:Docu

So there are all these BC year articles. I was about to propose auto-categorizing them by decade, thusly:

 * 101_BC -> Category:100s_BC
 * 102_BC -> Category:100s_BC
 * 103_BC -> Category:100s_BC
 * 110_BC -> Category:110s_BC
 * 111_BC -> Category:110s_BC
 * 112_BC -> Category:110s_BC
 * 477_BC -> Category:470s_BC
 * 478_BC -> Category:470s_BC
 * 479_BC -> Category:470s_BC
 * 478_BC -> Category:470s_BC
 * 479_BC -> Category:470s_BC

But should they be put into per-year categories instead? -- Beland 04:08, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * If there were just these pages to categorize, it's indeed advisible to place them in categories by decade.

 * Since these categories are also used for other events (see the template for these categories: Template:Yearcat), I think it's preferable to use categories by year. They are easier to add to other events.

 * As Scudlee pointed out above (Category_talk:Years), a cut off at a given year --uncorrelated with the pages by year-- would be arbitrary. Year pages currently go back to the year 500 BC following the dicussion at Wikipedia_talk:Timeline_standards.-- User:Docu

RFC on my activities in year categories
I have an issue concerning the categorization of year-related pages in Category:2004, Category:2003, etc. Over the past few days, I've been changing the way pages are listed (sorted) in those categories. Could interested parties please check out the categories above and, say, Category:2000 & Category:2001, which I have not changed, and let me know which format (or which aspects of each format) they prefer? The differences, I think, will be obvious, but you can check out my recent contributions to see exactly what I've been doing. See also my remarks at User talk:D6 and User:Docu's responses. What do you think? Please comment on my talk page or here, as I don't wish to unfairly flood Docu's talk page with comments he didn't ask for. Thanks. - dcljr 23:23, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * OBTW, I should point out that this is not a request for comment in the dispute-resolution sense. I don't have a problem with User:Docu, I just want to know what direction, if any, I should take my efforts on the year Category pages. - dcljr 23:45, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * On balance I prefer the order used in Category:2004. The first time I saw it I thought it looked a little odd, because the articles did not immediately seem to be listed in order. However, once I had compared it with Category:2000, I preferred the newer format. The category does look better when the articles are not listed under multiple headings each starting with '2'. Changing the order of the articles seems to work particular well for the 'in' articles (eg. 2004 in music) which under the original format all got grouped together, rather than been sorted nicely.

Discussion of year category pages
''The following discussion took place at Village pump (policy). - dcljr 21:10, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)''

Earlier this month I went through Category:2004, Category:2003 and Category:2002, and added sort keys to the category references in the articles and subcategory pages so they would be sorted (more or less) by topic on the Category:YYYY pages. Contrast the results on Category:2004 (which, as I type this, looks pretty much as I left it -- except for all those List of..." articles) with, say, Category:2001 (which I haven't changed). Which version do you prefer? See also the discussion on Category talk:Years. - dcljr 22:49, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC) Thanks for the input. - dcljr 21:46, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Merely from a quick eyeball of Category:2004 and Category:2001, I would say that your version is indisputably better. --Phil | Talk 15:50, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * Seconded. Keep doing that.  You might want to add a sentance or two to Categorization or some such, so other people can find out to do this also. JesseW 02:06, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Fundamental?
Is this category really fundamental? Surely it belongs under something else? It's already under Category:History by period. Brianjd
 * This has been fixed. Brianjd

Decade Subcategories?
The way it is now, each century from the 17th century BC to around the 6th century has a subcategory for each decade, with only 1 article in each decade subcategory. For example, in the 12th Century category, you can click on 1160s BC, and there'll be an article entitled 1160s BC. Is this really neccesary? Wouldn't it be better to just have a list of decade articles in each of these sparse early centuries?-LtNOWIS 03:40, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. I'm nominating a bunch of early-year categories for deletion on today's WP:CFD page. -- Beland 08:13, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

How many years per article?
I think it would be a useful tool, if a given year category would list not only events that happened (and ended) in this year, but events that a) started in that year and ended afterwads b) events that started before, carried through this year and ended later b) events that started earlier but ended this year. But how to implement it? Consider the question below: --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:21, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

If an article is describing an event that went on for more years (for example, the Second World War), should we: -- User:Piotrus
 * a) assing the article to the category of the year the event started (1939) (this is what I have been doing so far, but I am not that content with this)
 * b) assign the article to the several year categories, for all the years it took place in (1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945) - that's good for short events (2-3 years), but what for 9 years? Or 19 or 99?
 * c) create a specific category like 1939-1945 (this is a possible solution)
 * d) what about events lasting through a decade (or century?)
 * e) and of course, why years? What about spacific day to day events/categories?

 * Personally, I'd place the articles into Category:World War II. That category is currently in Category:1940s which seems fine to me. Personally, I'd place Category:World War II also into Category:1930s, but I'd avoid placing the same article into more than one year category (possibly 2 or 3, but certainly not 7 categories). If it spans through parts of the decade or century, place it into the category for that. -- User:Docu

A new concept for the display of time-related Wikipedia information
I have been working on an intuitive display of decade, century and millennia information. It will be presented to the International Technology, Education and Development Conference in Valencia (Spain) on 7-9 March. Here is the gist of it:

Today’s global world is experiencing the interaction between civilizations more than ever before. But the study of history and civilizations is still largely focused on one civilization at a time and does not encourage a time-synchronous view. This is obviously necessary for any in-depth study, but it narrows the viewing field by blanking out what happened in other parts of the world at the same time.

‘Civilizations of the World’ is a web-based application developed to overcome this limitation of histo¬rical study. It presents a time synchronous view of different civilizations that existed since 3000 B.C. It shows the events that occurred and the prominent people who lived different civilizations on a common timeline. The user interface we designed is user friendly and organized in a way that all important information is typically just a ‘click’ away from the client’s location. The application is available on a portable media such as DVD and can be run effectively on any commonly used computer equipped with either Internet Explorer or Mozilla browser and at least 512 Mb of RAM.

The entire package (database, maintenance mode and runtime mode) is supplied as a stand-alone DVD and can thus be used without connection to the internet. By copying the DVD content to their computer users can personalize their copy of the Time Atlas by adding new entries, deleting unwanted entries and modifying entries to their requirements. Alternatively, the Time Atlas can be opened up for data entry by anyone. This will require installation of the Time Atlas and its maintenance facilities on the web. The authors intend to approach the Wikipedia team with a proposal to use the new Time Atlas as a display tool for Wikipedia’s vast amount of information.

The full short paper is available from http://www.es.flinders.edu.au/~mattom/civilizationspaper.pdf for download. Please glance through it and see what it's worth. If there is enough support for the concept I'll try and get a group up to see it implemented. Matthias Tomczak 12:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Categorization update
Please see my proposal in Wikipedia talk:Timeline standards. I think this is a better standarization than we have previously, even though it contradicts both the proposals above and the actuality. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 02:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Artesian well

An artesian well is a well that brings groundwater to the surface without pumping because it is under pressure within a body of rock and/or sediment known as an aquifer. When trapped water in an aquifer is surrounded by layers of impermeable rock or clay, which apply positive pressure to the water, it is known as an artesian aquifer. If a well were to be sunk into an artesian aquifer, water in the well-pipe would rise to a height corresponding to the point where hydrostatic equilibrium is reached.

A well drilled into such an aquifer is called an artesian well. If water reaches the ground surface under the natural pressure of the aquifer, the well is termed a flowing artesian well.

Fossil water aquifers can also be artesian if they are under sufficient pressure from the surrounding rocks, similar to how many newly tapped oil wells are pressurized.

Not all aquifers are artesian (i.e., water table aquifers occur where the groundwater level at the top of the aquifer is at equilibrium with atmospheric pressure). The recharging of aquifers happens when the water table at its recharge zone is at a higher elevation than the head of the well.

History
The first mechanically accurate explanation for artesian wells was given by Al-Biruni. Artesian wells were named after the former province of Artois in France, where many artesian wells were drilled by Carthusian monks from 1126.

David Southall

David Southall is a retired British paediatrician who specialised in international maternal and child hospital healthcare and in child protection. He worked in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993-1995, for which he received an OBE in 1999. In 1995 he set up the charity Maternal and Childhealth Advocacy International (MCAI), of which he remains a trustee as of 2023. His child protection work and research into Munchausen syndrome by proxy attracted controversy and led to conflict with the General Medical Council.

Early career
Prior to becoming a paediatrician, Southall spent four years in general adult medicine, one year in obstetrics and two years as a general practitioner.

International humanitarian work
In 1993, during the Bosnian War, Southall was invited by the Overseas Development Administration of the British Government (now DFID) to visit Sarajevo to identify and evacuate children in need of urgent medical treatment which could not be provided locally because of armed conflict. After this mission he was asked by UNICEF to become a consultant and lead a programme from 1993-1995 to help children in Mostar and in camps for internally displaced families in other areas of Bosnia. Prompted by his experiences in Bosnia of what he described as "trauma inflicted on children and their families, not only by warring factions, but also by the indolence of the international community", Southall established Child Advocacy International (CAI) on his return to the UK, to advocate for international child health issues. Since 2009, and in order to reflect the close involvement of CAI with the emergency care of pregnant women and adolescent girls, the charity was re-named Maternal and Childhealth Advocacy International (MCAI).

Some of the main advocacy undertaken involved campaigns against the arms trade, healthcare in refugee camps and the development of the Maternal and Child Friendly Healthcare Initiatives (see below). One particular success with advocacy involved the New Jalozai Afghan refugee camp where the Pakistan Government were encouraged by CAI to move the 70,000 refugees living in appalling circumstances into a more suitable camp. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) wrote a letter to Southall thanking CAI for this achievement.

From 1999 to 2004 Southall was Chairman of a working party developing the Child Friendly Healthcare Initiative (CFHI). In addition to CAI, UNICEF UK, The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the Royal College of Nursing were parties to this work.

Since 2002, and following on to CAI's work in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and in collaboration with a British Medical Education charity a program called “Strengthening Emergency Healthcare” involving Emergency Maternal, Neonatal and Child Healthcare (EMNCH) was established. The program was originally started in the Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan and has subsequently been developed in Pakistan with assistance from the local offices of the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF. In 2006, it was successfully introduced into The Gambia following a recommendation from WHO Geneva. In November 2012 a similar programme was started in Liberia with financial support from THET and UKAID.

Additional programs of CAI and subsequently of MCAI involved apprenticeship based training in hospital care of pregnant women, newborn infants and children in Kosovo, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Uganda, The Gambia and Liberia.

Respiratory research and child protection work
Between 1979 and 1983 a large prospective investigation funded by the British Heart Foundation and the Medical Research Council was led by Southall into the potential role of short episodes of absent breathing and heart rate and rhythm disorders in newborn infants. The study showed no evidence that these episodes in infants were related to subsequent SIDS leading to a major reversal of the role of apnoea monitors in SIDS prevention.

For his research work into SIDS, Southall was given The Mary Gray and William W Cobey Award from the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Institute in 1994, University of Maryland and in January 1995 the Annenberg Center Apnea of Infancy Award.

In 1993, Southall reported in the British Medical Journal a study investigating the performance of invasive procedures in the intensive care of infants and children. This study revealed inadequate pain control and sedation for a high proportion of painful procedures and led to a national review of this problem. As a consequence he was appointed chair of a working party of the British Paediatric Association to develop guidelines on the management of pain control in children in hospital in the UK.

Between 1986 and 1994, Southall led a programme of diagnostic and treatment-based clinical work at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, and the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary in Stoke-on-Trent involving patients with unexplained life-threatening events from a wide area of the UK. This work, involving the police and social services departments, helped protect children from life-threatening episodes of Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII) mostly involving suspected intentional suffocation of infants and young children by one of their parents, usually the mother. Techniques included the controversial covert video surveillance (CVS) in hospital of infant and child patients by police or specially trained nursing staff to observe the interactions of their parents with the children. Surveillance revealed abuse in 33 of 39 suspected cases, with documentation of intentional suffocation observed in 30 patients. Poisonings (with disinfectant or anticonvulsant), a deliberate fracture, and other emotional and physical abuse were also identified under surveillance. Bleeding from the nose and/or mouth was reported in 11 of the 38 patients who had had episodes of near death and were undergoing CVS but in none of 46 controls. Four patients who had been subjected to recurrent suffocation before CVS suffered permanent neurologic deficits and/or required anticonvulsant therapy for epileptic seizures resulting from hypoxic cerebral injury. The 39 patients undergoing CVS had 41 siblings, 12 of whom had previously died suddenly and unexpectedly. Eleven of the deaths had been classified as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) but after CVS, four parents admitted to suffocating eight of these siblings. Other signs of serious abuse were documented in the medical, social, and police records of an additional 15 of the siblings. The project concluded in its report in the medical journal Pediatrics that “Induced illness is a severe form of abuse that may cause death or permanent neurologic impairment. It may be accompanied by other severe forms of abuse, may result in behavioural disorders, and may be accompanied by immeasurable suffering. Detection of this abuse requires careful history-taking; thorough examination of the health, social, and police records; and close and focused collaboration between hospital and community child health professionals, child psychiatrists, social workers, and police officers. Covert video surveillance (CVS) may help investigate suspicions and ensure that children are protected from additional abuse. When parents have failed to acknowledge that they have deceived health professionals, partnership with them in seeking to protect their children may be neither safe nor effective”.

The project attracted controversy for its methods and raised ethical implications. Critics argued that the desire of the implementers of CVS to observe the carers harming the children exposed the children to further abuse, that the betrayal of doctor-patient trust necessarily involved in the surveillance could cause harm to the subjects, and that "a diagnosis should lead to treatment, not punishment". However, Southall and his team argued that the surveillance saved the lives of many of the children involved, and Southall himself said that "By doing covert video surveillance we are betraying the trust of parents... but if a parent has been abusing his or her child in this way then the trust between child and parent has already gone."

The concerns of a campaigning group of parents accused of abuse, a small proportion of parents involved in the ventilator study described below and their advocates, including a woman who was imprisoned subsequently for conspiracy to abduct a child, led to an investigation of Southall's child protection work, in particular covert video surveillance, by his employer the North Staffordshire Hospital. The campaigning group called themselves MAMA (Mothers Against Munchausen syndrome by proxy Allegations). The investigation by his employing hospital cleared Southall.

In the early 1990s, Southall led a randomised controlled study which pioneered continuous negative extrathoracic pressure therapy (CNEP), a non-invasive treatment for breathing difficulties in infants and young children involving the application of negative pressure to the patients' chests. The technique was found to reduce the duration of chronic lung disease in premature newborn infants and to reduce the need for intensive care in infants with bronchiolitis, a common and dangerous chest infection. This study was criticised by the MAMA campaigning group described above, with some parents of the children involved suggesting that the treatment was linked to subsequent death or brain injury of their children. Based on these allegations, the research was also the subject of investigations by the North Staffordshire Hospital which again found no wrongdoing or harmful effects of the treatment. An independent follow-up study concluded in 2006 that there was "no evidence of disadvantage, in terms of long-term disability or psychological outcomes" from the use of the technique. The infants treated were all very premature babies in whom mortality and morbidity was expected, but there were no differences between study infants and control infants in this regard in the independent follow up study conducted. The long "saga" to discredit the researchers, perpetuated by constant media exposure, caused “widespread unpredictable damage”.

In November 2005, Southall retired from Keele University and his honorary status as professor there came to an end; they did not award him an emeritus professorship.

General Medical Council Investigations
The same campaigning group (MAMA) also complained about the randomised controlled trial of CNEP to the General Medical Council (GMC) who many years later in 2008 investigated Southall and two colleagues at a fitness to practice hearing. The hearing was brought to a premature end when it was revealed that the evidence put forward by the campaigners was incorrect.

In 2004, following more complaints from the MAMA campaign and Mr Clark, Southall was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the General Medical Council (GMC), after alleging to a police child protection officer that the husband of Sally Clark, a mother wrongly convicted of murdering two of her babies, was himself almost certainly responsible for murdering the couple's children. The children were later found to have died from natural causes based on withheld medical evidence Southall made the claim in confidence to a child protection officer of the Staffordshire police after watching a television documentary about the case as he was concerned about the safety of the surviving child. He subsequently presented his evidence to a formally convened child protection case conference, members of which expressed their view at a GMC hearing that his input was important. Despite this a GMC panel banned Southall from child protection work for three years. The Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence challenged the decision as insufficient and argued that he should be deregistered, but a High Court of Justice decision in 2005 held that the sanction was not unduly lenient. In the General Medical Council’s (GMC) subsequent publication: Protecting children and young people: the responsibilities of all doctors July 2012 and active 3 September 2012, there is the following statement: "You must tell an appropriate agency, such as your local authority children's services, the NSPCC or the police, promptly if you are concerned that a child or young person is at risk of, or is suffering, abuse or neglect unless it is not in their best interests to do so (see paragraphs 39 and 40). You do not need to be certain that the child or young person is at risk of significant harm to take this step. If a child or young person is at risk of, or is suffering, abuse or neglect, the possible consequences of not sharing relevant information will, in the overwhelming majority of cases, outweigh any harm that sharing your concerns with an appropriate agency might cause".

In February 2007, The Attorney-General Lord Goldsmith, following further campaigning by the MAMA group, announced that a review would be held into a number of criminal cases in which Southall had given evidence for the prosecution, following allegations that his hospital department had kept up to 4,450 separate case files containing specialist clinical data on child patients mainly referred from other hospitals and including some child protection cases. These were kept separate from the standard hospital records but with a link to them which was fully known by hospital administrators. This investigation revealed no evidence that Southall's actions had harmed criminal investigations.

On 4 December 2007, Southall was struck off the medical register after being found guilty of professional misconduct by the General Medical Council in another child protection case. Southall appealed against this decision in the High Court, but the appeal was dismissed. In his judgment, Mr. Justice Blake stated that Southall "had speculated on non-medical matters in an offensive manner entirely inconsistent with the status of an independent expert." However, this ruling was subsequently overturned by the Court of Appeal in 2010. Neither the GMC Panel nor Mr. Justice Blake understood the importance of the presence of an independent senior social worker during the interview with the mother who had brought the complaint to the GMC. The mother, who was part of the long-standing MAMA campaign against his child protection work described above, complained that Southall had accused her of murdering her son. Southall denied this. The senior social worker present and taking notes throughout the interview gave evidence that the mother’s allegation was incorrect and also denied that Southall had made the accusation.

On 1 June 2009 Southall was the subject of an episode of the BBC's current affairs programme Panorama, A Very Dangerous Doctor. This programme raised serious concerns about the way in which his child protection work had been investigated and damaged by the GMC and other inappropriate inquiries. The interest group 'Professionals Against Child Abuse' subsequently commented in the medical journal The Lancet that the "GMC should never have brought this case" (against Southall) and criticised disciplinary proceedings brought against other doctors involved in child protection work.

On 4 May 2010 Southall was back on the medical register after winning his action in the Court of Appeal ending a long-running dispute with the General Medical Council. The Appeal Court's decision meant that he was able to practice medicine again.

In September 2011 the GMC dropped its last remaining case against Southall involving the issue of the special case files raised by the campaigning group MAMA and Attorney General in 2007. Southall stated that this final closure of the GMC case in September 2011 was a "victory over an orchestrated and dangerous campaign which has waged war over 16 years against my work in trying to protect children from life threatening abuse". He is continued to request that the GMC apologise for its misguided approach to his work and for breaching his right to a fair trial within a reasonable time.

Work since 2011
In 2011 Southall gave the annual David Harvey Lecture at the UK Neonatal Update at Imperial College London.

Southall was editor of a textbook, International Maternal & Child Health Care: A practical manual for hospitals worldwide, published by MCAI in 2014 and provided free of charge to frontline health workers in public hospitals in low income countries.

As of 2023, Southall continues to be a trustee of the MCAI.

Honours and awards
Southall received an OBE in 1999 for services to childcare in Bosnia and Hercegovina.

Virginia Grey

Virginia Grey (March 22, 1917 – July 31, 2004) was an American actress who appeared in more than 100 films and a number of radio and television shows from the 1930s to the early 1980s.

Biography
Grey was born on March 22, 1917, in Edendale, California, the youngest of three daughters of Florence Anna Grey (née Pauly; 1890—1930) and director Ray Grey. One of her early babysitters was film star Gloria Swanson. Grey debuted at the age of 10 in the silent film Uncle Tom's Cabin (1927) as Little Eva. She continued acting for a few more years, but then left acting for three years to finish her education.

Grey abandoned her training as a nurse and returned to films in the 1930s, with bit parts and work as an extra. She eventually signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and appeared in several films, including The Hardys Ride High (1939) with Mickey Rooney, Another Thin Man (1939) with William Powell, Hullabaloo (1940), and The Big Store (1941) with the Marx Brothers.

She left MGM in 1942 and worked steadily for several film studios over subsequent years. During the 1950s and 1960s, producer Ross Hunter frequently included Grey in his popular soap melodramas such as All That Heaven Allows, Back Street and Madame X.

Grey had an intermittent love affair with Clark Gable in the 1940s. After Gable's wife Carole Lombard died and he returned from military service, Gable and Grey were often seen at restaurants and nightclubs together. Many, including Grey herself, expected Gable to marry her, and tabloids often speculated on a wedding announcement. It was a great surprise when Gable hastily married Lady Sylvia Ashley in 1949, leaving Grey heartbroken. Gable divorced Ashley in 1952, and he never rekindled his romance with Grey, who never married.

In 1951, Grey portrayed Blanche Bickerson on the syndicated comedy TV series The Bickersons. She was a regular on television in the 1950s and 1960s, appearing on Playhouse 90, U.S. Marshal, The Jane Wyman Show, General Electric Theater, The DuPont Show with June Allyson, Your Show of Shows, Red Skelton, Wagon Train (“The Honorable Don Charlie Story”, "The Kate Parker Story", "The Major Adams Story"), Bonanza, Marcus Welby, M.D., Love, American Style, Burke's Law, The Virginian, Peter Gunn, Ironside and many others.

Grey died on July 31, 2004 at age 87 in Woodland Hills, California while a resident at the Motion Picture Home. She was cremated and her ashes were scattered at sea on August 6, 2004 off the Los Angeles coast.

She was portrayed by Anna Torv in the HBO miniseries The Pacific.

Executive Council of Prince Edward Island

The Executive Council of Prince Edward Island (informally and more commonly, the Cabinet of Prince Edward Island) is the cabinet of that Canadian province.

Almost always made up of members of the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island, the Cabinet is similar in structure and role to the Cabinet of Canada while being smaller in size. As federal and provincial responsibilities differ there are a number of different portfolios between the federal and provincial governments.

The Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island, as representative of the King in Right of Prince Edward Island, heads the council, and is referred to as the Governor-in-Council. Other members of the Cabinet, who advise, or minister, the vice-regal, are selected by the Premier of Prince Edward Island and appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor. Most cabinet ministers are the head of a ministry, but this is not always the case.

As at the federal level the most important Cabinet post after that of the leader is the Minister of Finance, which in Prince Edward Island is referred to as the Provincial Treasurer. The second most powerful position in the provincial cabinet is typically the health portfolio since it occupies in excess of 40% of the province's annual budget. Other portfolios with moderate influence include Transportation and Public Works, as well as resource-dependent ministries such as Agriculture or Fisheries.

Current cabinet
The current cabinet was formed on April 14, 2023 following the Progressive Conservative Party's victory in the 2023 provincial general election.

Talk:Coca-Cola C2

Untitled
There's currently two topcis on C2, this page, and "C2"
 * Issue resolved. page "C2" is now a disambiguation page.

Would be nice if someone could dig up the release date of Pepsi Edge. Then we could end the debate of which was released first.
 * According to press releases at Coca-Cola and Pepsico's web sites Pepsi Edge was first to be announced (March 9th against C2's April 19th), but later press releases show C2 available from "early-June" with Pepsi Edge around "mid-June". So C2 made it to stores first, but not by much. Jxan3000 15:28, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

When are they releasing this in the UK?--Richy 15:41, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Also, the article mentions that in addition to the lower-calorie sweetner alternatives (aspartame, sucralose, et al), corn syrup is still used - an obvious reference to the corn syrup used in the American formulation. However, all Coke products in Canada (and possibly other countries - perhaps someone else from the UK and abroad can offer some enlightenment), still use sugar as the primary sweetner. As a result, the C2 product available here still lists sugar as it's second ingredient, after carbonated water.

Is it dead yet?
Is it too soon to declare Coke C2 dead? I don't know of any place that sells it any more, and here in Japan they've already moved on and are pushing Coca Cola Lemon instead.
 * I still see it occasionally. Pepsi Edge is dead, however. Andros 1337 10:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I finished my fourth of the day. It's still around, but it's harder to find than before. --66.32.212.126 30 June 2005 23:20 (UTC)

 * I was wondering about this, but is Coca-Cola Zero the same thing as C2? The ingredients seem awfully familiar, and both soda's taste are said to be similar to regular Coke than Diet Coke. Could CC0 be a rebranding of C2? --YoungFreud 09:30, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

 * No, C2 and Zero are not the same thing. Autiger 16:29, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, Two has corn syrup; Zero does not. Supposedly, Zero has the same formula as Classic, but for the replacement of corn syrup with a blend of aspartame (Nutrasweet) and acesulfame potassium (Splenda).  It nevertheless tastes nothing like Classic.  It does compete with Diet Coke and Diet Coke with Splenda for "the taste of liquid evil," however. --66.32.192.68 05:10, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * E-mail reply from Coke says that as of right now they have no plans of cancelling it.

 * Coke C2 is still available at Jewl-Osco in the 12 can Fridge Pack.--Jon Revelle 18:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I love this drink! I don't know what I'll do without it. :( The Wookieepedian 01:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

It is dead, an email from Coke confirms it has been discontinued. It is in my opinion a tragedy and I hope to mount a campaign to have it brought back. It is far superior to Zero in that while Zero has done away with the chemical taste, it has not done away with the chemical aftertaste, which I've never experienced with C2. I find the product to be slightly less sweet than regular Coke, which makes it taste better to me. I also believe that it was not the death of the low carb craze which killed it, but the introduction of Coke Zero and the siphoning of marketing dollars from C2 to mount the Zero campaign. It managed to maintain shelf space at the two largest grocers in my major metropolitan area for over 2 1/2 years, and it was nearly always sold out or almost sold out. It disappeared quietly overnight, making it impossible to horde.

It is supposedly available in North Carolina- is there any truth to this? Johnh123 19:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

C2 is still available throughout Southern and Eastern Ontario. It is not yet dead here. Article shows an intense US centric bias considering the products international origins. Jjmcook 03:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

It's also available in Alberta. I haven't seen it much in stores but somebody's stocking the office fridge wtih it. Bruce Shaw (talk) 19:05, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Just bought some from a Walmart in Winnipeg, MB. Unigolyn (talk) 16:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Improved Formulation?
I first tried C2 around a year ago and was decidedly disappointed by the taste, compared to my high expectations. C2 had the same kind of awful diet cola aftertaste that plague all of its diet brethren. This month I gave it another chance, however, and was quite surprised by pleasant taste. It still isn't Coke, but if I had to live with it exclusively, C2 is now a worthy substitute in my opinion. So has the formula for the soda changed? (Note: Opinion based on experience in California) --Big Mac 20:22, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

... Wouldn't it be easier to just mix coke and diet coke in a glass?

Flop?
Can C2 be considered one? WikiFanatic 01:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Find a legitimate published source calling it a flop or some objective criteria that defines "flops". :-)  AU Tiger  ʃ talk /work 06:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I never asked for one....I was just wondering if it was. (It didn't last long.) Jesus. WikiFanatic 06:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * What? I had a smiley on that. AU Tiger  ʃ talk /work 07:15, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The basic fundemental problem with C2 was that it was advertised as a "LOW CARB" drink. However, it still contained far to many carbs for anyone on a low-carb diet. Its not allowed on either Atkins, or South Beach. Whomever did the marketing should have been fired for such an absurd error. So, while not a flop, the poor marketing surely doomed it.162.27.9.20 (talk) 21:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

C2 vs New Coke?
Should it be mentioned that they are the exact same thing? I don't know who here remembers when New Coke came out, but I'm sure everyone has heard of it. C2 is just a redistribution of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.117.96.246 (talk) 04:19, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
