SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:09, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

suggestion for coilgun pic
maybe you could make it a GIF with an animation of it working

-first frame: the original

-second frame: the first coil turns on and the bullet moves

-third frame: the second coil turns on and the bullet moves farther

etc.

thanks for listning to my comment

Ilikefood 00:12, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Indeed, I did that now. See Image:Coilgun animation.gif. What do you think? --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 22:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It looks really good! Ilikefood 21:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete on two images
I saw your proposed speedy delete on the two images I was working on. Can you simply upload a new version of the file (over the old one)?

My intention was to have x1, x2, ... x9 to be numbered squares, in order to show things like corresponding squares. Are you preparing replacement files? Bubba73 (talk), 01:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I already replaced them — see images with the same names in Commons. --ZeroOne 01:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

AfD Notice
An article that you have been involved in editing, Seven day roguelike, has been listed at Articles for deletion/Seven day roguelike. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --Lankybugger 19:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Zero Hour - Generals Challenge.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Zero Hour - Generals Challenge.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Bruno
I apologize, I ended up putting it in the wrong place; the warehouses were designed by him. Kiasma was designed by Holl (probably everyone knows that, it was advertised so much :D) I guess I should have gone to sleep yesterday a lot earlier than I did :) -Yupik 08:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Haha, no problem. :) I figured something like that happened. Luckily I spotted it quickly. I ended up translating the Bruno-article from Finnish Wikipedia, too. --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 12:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Jehp! :D And thanks for translating the Granholm article; now there's one less red link in the Haapamäki railway station article! -Yupik 12:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Finnish translations
Hello! As you have done some of the Finnish translations, I just thought I'd let you know I'm trying to gather them all in one place at (Translation/*/Lang/fi) to make them easier to add, find and take care of. Thank you for your contributions! -Yupik 20:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Straw poll on free software categorization of POV-Ray
Since you previously changed the categorization of POV-Ray, can you please comment int Talk:POV-Ray Karnesky 22:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Done... Seriously though, it's not that big a deal, how to categorize an article! --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 23:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for commenting. I think you possibly misunderstood the choices & I clarified them.  I agree it probably isn't a big deal, but can sympathize with those who want precision and accuracy in categories and in the categorization of articles ;-) --Karnesky 23:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair-use image removed from your user page
Hello, ZeroOne. I've removed Image:Gobblet.jpg from your user page, as it is a copyrighted, unlicensed image that is being used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. Unfortunately, by Wikipedia policies, no fair-use images can be used on user pages; please see the ninth item of the Wikipedia fair-use policy and Removal of fair use images. This image has not been deleted from any articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 05:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:User php
Why did you move these templates into userspace? Was there a TfD on them recently, or did you just take it upon yourself to move them? Mike Dillon 03:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I just took it upon myself to move them. Read more at Userbox migration. They've really got nothing to do with Wikipedia so userboxes have slowly been moved from the template namespace to user namespace. There are automatic bots that fix your broken userboxes afterwards in a short notice. --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 11:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * That's not true. MediaWiki is written in PHP and being able to find active contributors who can understand the MediaWiki software is helpful in figuring out whether something is a software bug or something that can be fixed on-wiki. Similarly, SQL, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are also relevant. Mike Dillon 15:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Then why are there userboxes like User sql-0 and User js-0? They certainly won't help you find active contributors who can understand the MediaWiki software. --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 16:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the zero templates were made for consistency with the language templates. I agree that the level-zero templates aren't very useful for any of the cases they're used in, but I don't think it's a big deal. The categories associated with all level-0 templates except for Template:User en-0 were recently deleted at WP:UCFD. Mike Dillon 18:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Programming-related userboxes are actually listed at Userboxes/Programming, not Userboxes/Wikipedia, so I think they count into the merging process. At least a couple of other boxes besides PHP have already been migrated into someone's user namespace. --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 19:47, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I've brought this up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes. Mike Dillon 20:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Cool, we can sure use a third opinion. --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 20:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Double redirects
Thank you for fixing double redirects like Atlantic Avenue–Pacific Street (BMT Fourth Avenue Line). However, you removed the anchors that they redirected to. --NE2 11:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

 * No problem. Sorry about that. I was doing it rather mechanically and I wasn't paying attention. I find redirects to anchors a bit risky business anyway because the anchors are likely to change and there may be several anchors with the same title, at least in some articles. I'm glad you fixed them anyway, I would've done it otherwise. --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 12:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

 * In this case, we determined a common format for the sections, so if we change any we'll be changing them all and someone will remember to change the redirects. Anyway, they help a lot here because they make it easier to follow along on a line. --NE2 13:26, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I see! Sorry again. Keep up the good work! --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 14:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Portal:Chess/Categories
Although it's a relatively minor issue, I surely should thank you for removing the hard breaks; I have erred in the past in diminishing the accessibility of pages for users, for instance, with 1024x768 monitors, and I've tried to be mindful of that in my editing (especially because I had occasion to use a monitor of such resolution a few months ago in Mexico and then again a few weeks ago in Jamaica and found that some of the portal space pages on which I'd worked rendered quite badly). I will continue to work toward accessibility in the future, and I appreciate your catching my oversight. Cheers, Joe 06:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * No problem. :) I usually have the same problem myself... --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 19:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

chess names...
...seems to work. Why did you think it wouldn't?--Ioshus (talk) 16:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I meant that commons:Template:Chess names wouldn't work if included from here. --ZeroOne ( talk | @ ) 19:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Ohhh, ok, gotcha. That's just as well, though, because to use it on any other wikipedia, we will have to change the links, anyways.--Ioshus (talk) 21:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Portal:Chess
Yeah, I've content for a few months just about ready but rather managed to forget about creating the fifth month/nineteenth week pages. Once I've created pages for a few months, I'll return the time-variable formatting and then will start a discussion at the chess WP talk page in order that we shouldn't encounter the same problem in the future. :) Cheers, Joe 20:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Because the selected bio, game, picture, and article for April were up for but eight days and because, well, we missed the first six days of May, I have made April's pages the selected items for May and so have returned the portal to time-variable, with the provision that we'll be sure not again to permit the page to be a redlink farm. Joe 20:44, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Sir Killalot vs Hypno-Disc.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sir Killalot vs Hypno-Disc.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Gobblet.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gobblet.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 16:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Worms World Party screenshot.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Worms World Party screenshot.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use.

The long standing problems with the user named InfoCheck
Some information of which you might not be aware.

http://www.gothicchess.com/nalls.html

That person has long since engaged in repeated attacks against me, the game of Gothic Chess, and my patent. This is the reason I consider him an adverse candidate and a person that should be prohibitted from posting material to the Gothic Chess article.

GothicChessInventor 20:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Hello, thanks for your message. Well, I have yet to see any definitive proof that InfoCheck is actually Derek Nalls. I believe the hostility towards Gothic Chess, that you describe at the page you just linked to, stems from the fact that chess has always been an open, free game to play. Capablanca did not patent his starting arrangement after all. I surely would like to see the Gothic Chess patent challenged to settle this issue once and for all. (That's not a legal threat, don't worry. ;D) Note that I'm not taking any positions here, I'm just sharing my immediate thoughts.
 * No one can be prohibited from editing a single article in Wikipedia. People can only be blocked from editing at all or the article can be protected from everyone. —ZeroOne ( talk / @ ) 21:39, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Happy_Trails_-_Cuddles_Giggles_Toothy_and_Petunia.jpg
I have tagged Image:Happy_Trails_-_Cuddles_Giggles_Toothy_and_Petunia.jpg as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk  15:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Hello ZeroOne, I need your help in testing out something you actually requested from me a while back... just never got around to it. I think you'll be excited about it(in relative terms). As well, once you see\test this out if you have anything else like this that needs to be developed, just let me know. Shoot me a message if your still active on Wiki (appears that way) and if your interested in helping. Thank you for your time.  Matthew  Yeager  05:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * updated my page to make it one string so users can copy it. as well, the other fields now display (whoops). Test it out, let me know if there are any problems or if there is anything you think the Wiki Chess Project could use.  Matthew  Yeager  21:47, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, having separate tokens for the other fields is (unfortunately) necessary. Currently wiki offers no String functions for developers to use. This means there is no way for me to break up those entries. if wiki ever changes this, it would allow me to do things MUCH easier.  Matthew  Yeager  21:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't know if you quite understood what I meant by combining the fields, so I've taken the liberty to do that myself. I've edited this template User:Matthew Yeager/Chess Render FEN and the instructions there. I just prefer to keep things simple and I think that with your original approach there would've been too many variables to remember. But maybe we should cenralize this discussion into Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chess as you started a new section there already? —ZeroOne ( talk / @ ) 22:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you for changing the template, I definitely was not thinking that is what you meant =P  i agree with the change after i see what you mean. everything looks good to me. as far as i'm concerned its ready to be moved into the normal template, but i suppose we will have to wait for everyone to test it out and agree on this. thanks for testing it out.  Matthew  Yeager  23:19, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

New JavaScript Chess Tool
ay man, i created a javascript tool for generating the diagrams (as i posted in chess project). i've created a test file of code that you can test if you like. I think its pretty sweet and soon it should be able to do anything... if your up for testing it out, just go to your monobook.js and add importScript('User:Matthew_Yeager/test.js'); after you purge your cache you should see "render game board" on the top right corner of your wiki screen, click on that. once you hit "submit query" it will place the rendered code in teh results box, just copy and paste to where you want to use it. Let me know what you think and of any ideas for further functionality.  Matthew  Yeager  05:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

 * finished the chess tool for all chess variants that i could find templates for (let me know if you are aware of others not on that page). its pretty sweet. dont worry about including the test script, use importScript('User:Matthew_Yeager/renderboard.js'); its pretty awesome, if i say so myself : ) let me know what you think.  Matthew  Yeager  08:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

 * After you import the script and and you purge your cache (for me, i use firefox, its shift + clicking refresh) you will see "render game board" link on the top right of your screen.
 * ZeroOne My talk My preferences My watchlist My contributions render game board
 * let me know if you still cant get it to work.  Matthew  Yeager  21:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

this has been corrected, purge your cache and you should be good to go. it was missing an include that you didnt have. let me know if you have nay more problems.  Matthew  Yeager  23:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Greetings from Sentriclecub
Hey I didn't know you helped on project chess? I have already told chessgames.com to adopt some of the great ideas, such as FENdiagrams with headers/footers/alignable. How much work did you do on the chess stuff here? Big thanks from me, and I'm sure from everyone who has seen it. Also, got a Q--am I allowed to delete the stuff on my discussion page? Its a non-issue now and bugs me every time I see it. Sentriclecub 08:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I'd like to think that I've contributed significantly on the chess issues here. I consider my most significant contribution to be the introduction of the importance ratings here, which enables the statistics to be logged at Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Chess articles by quality.
 * You are free to delete stuff on your discussion page. Just try not to alter anyone else's comments (save for minor formatting fixes), that's considered bad manners. Most people like to archive their old messages by creating a page like User talk:ZeroOne/Archive 1 but it is understandable if you don't want to do that in this case. —ZeroOne ( talk / @ ) 12:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

WP:COMPUTING Invitation
I have noticed that you are already a member of a related project and thought you might be interested in this wikiproject also and hence leaving this note ... - From the outreach dept

Wikimania 2010 could be coming to Stockholm!
I'm leaving you a note as you may be interested in this opportunity.

People from all six Nordic Wiki-communities (sv, no, nn, fi, da and is) are coordinating a bid for Wikimania 2010 in Stockholm. I'm sending you a message to let you know that this is occurring, and over the next few months we're looking for community support to make sure this happens! See the bid page on meta and if you like such an idea, please sign the "supporters" list at the bottom. Tack (or takk), and have a wonderful day! Mike H. Fierce! 10:58, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Are you still active on wikipedia?
You got me introduced to this place, I have about 200 edits I think. Are you still active? Sentriclecub (talk) 07:17, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Sure I'm still here. :) You can always look at my contributions page and see that I am steadily making a few edits a week. I read your idea about transcribing the next game into Wikibooks. It is a good idea but that particular Wikibook is about opening theory, so you could probably transcribe only the first ten or twenty moves before someone would interrupt you, claiming that you are adding content that is not suitable for that wikibook. What's more, I don't think engine lines are very valid content for any Wikimedia project, nor would be the debate-like discussions that takes place in the chessgames.com forums.

 * I suggest you start your completely own wiki, like in Wikia. Wikia uses the same Mediawiki-engine that Wikipedia and Wikibooks uses, so you could easily copy the existing chess template there. If they accept your request for a new wiki, you'll get your own subdomain such as cgchallenge.wikia.com. I am currently a member of the NetHack wiki and a couple of others, too. Having an account in just one wikia wiki means that you have an account in every Wikia wiki.

Bouvier des Flandres

The Bouvier des Flandres is a herding dog breed originating in Flanders, Belgium. They were originally used for general farm work including cattle droving, sheep herding, and cart pulling, and nowadays as guard dogs and police dogs, as well as being kept as pets.

The French name of the breed means, literally, "Cow Herder of Flanders", referring to the Flemish origin of the breed. Other names for the breed are Toucheur de Boeuf (cattle driver), Vlaamse Koehond (Flemish cow dog), and Vuilbaard (dirty beard).

History

The monks at the Ter Duinen monastery were among the earliest known dog breeders in Flanders. The bouviers bred by them are recorded as having been bred from imports such as Irish wolfhounds and Scottish deerhounds with local farm dogs, until a breed considered to be the predecessor of the modern Bouvier des Flandres was obtained. This became a working dog with the strength and temperament to perform herding, guard cattle, and even pull cargo carts, and to withstand the local weather conditions due to its thick coat. The breed's practical use became antiquated after the invention of the automobile, when cattle were more practically transported by trucks.

Historically, the ear cropping and tail docking could have been done for practical reasons, avoiding accidental amputations in the course of work, or to indicate the dog was working stock and not a pet subject to taxation.

Up until the early 20th century, the breed was not completely defined, with three variants: Paret, Moerman or Roeselare, and Briard. Conflict between the proponents of these three variants held the breed's development back. In 1912 and 1913, several local kennel clubs recognized standards for Bouviers; however they usually had different standards for the Roeselare and other variants.

World War I nearly caused the breed to disappear, due to the devastation that came over its region of origin and the fact that the dogs were used for military purposes. Indeed, Nic, a male trained as a trench dog who served during the war and was a perennial winner at dog shows after the war, is considered to be the founder of the early Bouvier des Flandres breed.

A unified Bouvier des Flandres standard was created in 1936 by a joint French-Belgian committee. However, World War II again endangered the breed's existence. Due to these setbacks, progress was slowed, and it was not until 1965 that the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) breed standard, as agreed to by several minor kennel clubs, was adopted.

Appearance
The Bouvier is a rough-coated dog of rugged appearance. It gives the impression of size and strength without clumsiness. The head is accentuated by a "heavy beard" and "mustache". Although the practice of cropping both ears and tail are now mostly cosmetic, tails were originally docked to prevent injuries caused by herding and cart-pulling. The practice of cosmetic docking is currently opposed by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

In the area of origin (Flanders, Belgium) cropping was made illegal in 2006. The weight of males ranges from 80 to 120 pounds or 36 to 54 kilograms, slightly lighter on average for females. They are built with a thick double coat, which can be fawn, black, grey brindle, or "pepper and salt" in color. Bouviers are sometimes considered non-shedding, but still do lose hair, like all dogs. Most of the hair that they lose is caught within the double coat which results in matting. They require weekly brushing and combing to maintain their coat. In addition to weekly brushing, the coat should be trimmed approximately every 3–5 weeks if it is to be a show dog.

Temperament
Bouviers des Flandres are gentle, rational, even-tempered, loyal, and protective by nature. The breed's particular blend of characteristics makes them good family pets, as well as effective guard dogs. Bouviers are easily trainable watch dogs who learn commands relatively fast. However, Bouviers learn best when repetition is limited. Boredom from repetition can hinder their training and learning ability.

Bouviers possess some sophisticated traits, such as complex intelligence and accountability.

They require well-balanced training that remains consistent in nature. Without being harsh, it is important to consistently make the dog aware that the owner will remain the "boss". This breed needs an experienced owner to prevent dominance and over-protectiveness problems. Dogs that are poorly trained can become inappropriately dominant towards humans. An unsocialized Bouvier can become fearful and problematic when introduced to a new and uncomfortable situation for them.

Bouviers should be socialized well, preferably starting at an early age, to avoid shyness, suspiciousness, and being overly reserved with strangers (although the breed is naturally aloof with strangers). Protecting the family when in danger is not something that needs to be taught, nor is it something one can train out of them. They can coexist well with children. Obedience training should start when they are young. They are usually good with other dogs if they are raised with them from puppyhood. Bouviers can be aggressive if the owners are not clear and assertive enough to communicate what is problematic. Bouviers do not fully mature both mentally and physically until around the age of 2–3 years old.

Activities
Bouviers des Flandres can compete in dog agility trials, carting, obedience, dog showmanship, Schutzhund, tracking, and herding events. Herding instincts and trainability can be measured at noncompetitive herding tests. Bouviers exhibiting basic herding instincts can then be trained to compete in herding trials.

Health
A 2024 UK study found a life expectancy of 11.3 years for the breed compared to an average of 12.7 for purebreeds and 12 for crossbreeds.

Notable Bouviers des Flandres

 * Belco, the dog that accompanied Edmee Bowles to America when she fled occupied Belgium and who was the foundation stud of her kennel Clos du Cereberes at Belco Farm in Pennsylvania.
 * Soprano de la Thudinie, the post-war foundation stud of Justin Chastel's de la Thudinie kennel in Belgium and the most prominent ancestor of the modern type of Bouvier des Flandres.
 * Lucky, owned by United States President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan.
 * Patrasche, the dog found by a boy named Nello in A Dog of Flanders, is often asserted to be a Bouvier des Flandres.
 * Max and his mate Madchen and their puppies, fictional characters featured in W.E.B. Griffin's Presidential Agent series.
 * Isabelle du Monceau de Bergendal, a character within the Strike Witches series, has a Bouvier des Flandres as her familiar animal.

Personal and social education

Personal and social education (PSE) is a component of the state school curriculum in Scotland and Wales. PSE became a statutory requirement in schools in September 2003, and is compulsory for all students at key stages 1, 2, 3 and 4 (5 to 16 years old), and shares some similar elements with Personal, social, health and economic education and citizenship education in England. These include:
 * local and global communities
 * sex education
 * spirituality
 * morals
 * environmental issues

PSE framework
For each key stage, learning outcomes for knowledge and understanding are set in each of the Aspects (listed below); additionally, learning outcomes for the development of attitudes and values and skills are prescribed across all aspects. ACCAC, the curriculum authority for Wales (part of the Welsh Assembly Government from 1 April 2006), published these in the PSE framework (2000). While it is not compulsory for schools to use the framework, they are expected to use schemes of work in order to standardize practice across teachers and classes.

Aspects:

 * Community
 * Emotional
 * Environmental
 * Learning
 * Moral
 * Physical
 * Sexual
 * Social
 * Spiritual
 * Vocational

thanks Meelar for your welcome ^^

Re:Solitaire algorithm
Hi FiP, Sorry to have done that, perhaps I should have notified you first. I was looking through new pages trying to filter them out. The reason i marked yours for speedy deletion was that it was just a little synopsis about the book, rather than an article about it. It did not have much context to it, so it was hard to decipher exactly what was going on. I guess it was a judgement call on both my and whoever deleted it's part that the article was too difficult to understand from the context provided. What I suggest you do, is go to Cryptonomicon and either post on the talk page about what you'd like to add, or just add it and see what people think. Since that page is not very long yet, what you want to add probably belongs there, rather than its own page. Anyways, sorry to shock you with that, I'll try to give more explanations in general from now on when marking things for deletion. One last thing, if someone marks one of your pages for speedy deletion and you see it, you can always post on the articles discussion page and contest the speedy deletion. The most likely argument is that the article might be valid enough to merit "Articles for deletion", in which case it would take a week for people to vote for and against it, before its deleted. — siro χ  o  20:19, Jul 26, 2004 (UTC)
 * allright. but I DID write something in the article's discution :) anyways... I just read the cryptonomicon article and saw that the Solitaire algorithm link was red; that's why I added an exerpt from the book. I will see if i can add something to the main article. Allright thanks for your response :) F  i  P  08:32, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * K, yeah I'm not a sysop so I'm not sure why it was deleted if you wrote something, glad its mostly cleared up at least. ( — siro χ  o  09:09, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, but...
Thanks for your involvement and your attempts at maintenance, really, but unless you're really familiar with what is and what is not a candidate for speedy deletion, I'd ask you to avoid that area of maintenance. Calibrate is a dicdef, and unfortunately, dicdefs are not candidates for speedy deletion at this time. In the future, please list such articles on Votes for deletion instead. Thanks. blankfaze | (беседа!)  13:20, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * P.S., I redirected it to Calibration. blankfaze |  (беседа!)  13:23, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * there's no need to be so condescending. I was under the impression that such poor "dicdefs" were unanimously voted for deletion (see Votes_for_deletion#24-hours). If you disagreed with my decision to delete the article, why did you do it anyway? You say that I should have listed the page on VfD.. but you didn't list it there either; You just deleted its contents and turned it into a redirect. F  i  P  08:57, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Sorry if I came off rude. I have to do this sort of thing all the time because people don't take the time to read the policy, and it just gets annoying I guess.  But I apologise.  Anyhow, just because something will get unanimously voted for deletion at VfD does not make it a candidate for speedy deletion.  So, in the future, just please stick to the cases on Candidates for speedy deletion.  Furthermore, I was only saying that if you come across any article you think ought be deleted but which is not a candidate for speedy deletion, you should list it on VfD.  In this case, a redirect was a more logical solution.  Thanks, again, and sorry if this message came off rude too.  blankfaze |  (беседа!)  17:44, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * It's allright. I learn from my mistakes ^^ see ya. F  i  P  18:05, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Vandalism of Ships of EVE Online page
Hey, I saw your speedy reversion of the aforementioned page, and would like to say thanks. A series of IP addresses very similar to that one have been vandalizing the page over the last few days, as you may or may not have seen on the history list.

I'm rather "new" to Wikipedia, in the sense that I've no idea what to do in this case. I traced two of the IP addresses (they all begin with 222.15~), and found they came from the same broadband provider. I suspect this is being done by a single person, who has a dynamic IP. (I'm just guessing here, of course.) I guess my question is, is there a way to prevent this vandalism from occuring again? The exact same changes are being made to the article each time.

Sorry if this isn't meant to go here, but I'm not sure of where to put it either. By what I've seen on the site, talk pages are the closest things to a Private Message.--Jsloan31 12:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * ....Weeeeeeeeeell, i'm not an admin or anything, so I just revert (Help:Reverting) the changes made by a vandal when i spot them. only Administrators can "block" a user, or an ip, from editing; but i don't think one would block all ips starting with "222.15*.*.*", we don't want to prevent all members of an isp from editing because of the actions of some/one individual(s).
 * If this vandal continues, you/we/someone (^^) could report him (Administrator intervention against vandalism), and put a warning on his userpage (as I did, see List of warning templates).
 * F i P 12:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * F i P 12:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Will continue to monitor and change back their edits if it carries on. I already put the first vandalism warning on the page, but each time the edits are made, it's by a new IP. I'll look into reporting them if it carries on. Thanks. --Jsloan31 12:18, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

User:David Gerard/1.0

 * ''This page is a dead proposal from way back in 2005, but there's a live article rating feature courtesy a grant: Article feedback

We've wibbled on the mailing lists and various wiki pages about Wikipedia 1.0 for a year or two now. We now have an actual publisher asking us for a paper version. Below is the closest we have so far to an action plan.

The key to success will be to harness dilettantism and let the wiki do the work. That's what got us this far.

The plan below includes milestone versions 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0. Please think of earlier milestones. To get milestone 0.7, we will use the Article validation feature as a distributed rating system.

"We learned from Nupedia that excessive a priori formalization is a killer. Better to start from a very open point of view, and then upon review, if our end product is starting to be bad in some way, make adjustments based on what we've learned."

Note that this plan is concerned with the single-volume paper Wikipedia 1.0, not the possible CD/DVD plan. (The main difference is we probably won't need to cut subject areas for a DVD — we have a lot more space.)

(Feel free to edit this. Discussion to the talk page.)

Action plan outline

 * Jimbo has stated that he doesn't want a fork from the current content, except at the last moment before preparing for print.
 * We have various plans for rating articles or versions of articles, which we can use to see what's up to scratch.
 * We have various lists of what should be in a single-volume encyclopedia. Completing these lists would be a fine program for volunteer recruitment, by the way.
 * In a lot of cases, the lead section is going to become the print article. We need stand-alone leads.
 * We have too many articles with images that are fair-use, permission-granted, non-profit or of other non-free status.
 * We have an interested publisher, one who actually gets it, waiting in the wings.
 * We want a paper Wikipedia in every classroom in Africa.

If there are other milestone steps, feel free to add them, or mention them on the talk page.

Paper Wikipedia will not be a fork
Jimbo has decreed that we are to fork for print at the last second, rather than fork now and polish. I suggest we trust his vision.

However, consensus approaches the idea of rating particularly good versions of specific articles.

Rating systems
Editorial committees — set some poor buggers to rating thousands of articles — produce high quality results, but will not scale. To scale, the rating system will need to be distributed amongst the editors and readers.

For now, we're going with Magnus' Article validation feature. We hope to switch this on in MediaWiki some time soon to gather data. (You can try it out on http://test.leuksman.com/ — note that Brion doesn't like the current implementation.) Then we'll release the data for analysis.

Article versions will be rated on various criteria on a scale of 1-4 or whatever. See En validation topics.

This is good because it will be easy and people will do it casually. Harnessing dilettantism, that's the wiki way.

Jimbo's idea is to set up rating on a large wiki (en: or de: — note that de: has an active article quality drive) and just gather data for a month or two, doing nothing with it. Then release the data and everyone can evaluate the results for sanity. We can then do something with the data in MediaWiki 1.6 or later.

Neil Harris has written a marvellous outline of machine assistance in article rating that could work off the human ratings to give estimated ratings for other articles. Probably need some students after a Masters.

Topic selection for a general encyclopedia

 * List of articles all languages should have and List of encyclopedia topics gives us some idea of what should go into a single-volume reference. The first probably has to be covered decently in its entirety. We also need to work out roughly how the Columbia or Concise Britannica break down into space per topic area. (Do we have any work in this area already?)

m:user:Mathias Schindler has suggested it as a validation topic — see "Encyclopedic general interest". This should show us what areas the community really think are "encyclopedic".

Note: Whatever are the most popular pages on the site will almost certainly have to go in. Including the odd and amusing stuff.

Letting the wiki give us milestone 0.7
The article version rating system will let the wiki do the work for us:

 * 1) Wait till a lot of articles (or a fair few) have been rated.
 * 2) Set a cutoff level that gives you a book's worth of articles.
 * 3) Examine just how imbalanced we are.

This will give us Wikipedia 0.7, let's say. 0.8 can be better, 0.9 can be area-selection-complete, 1.0 can be a polished 0.9.

Step 3 above can be in comparison to what the rating system tells us the Wikipedia community considers encyclopedic topics.

Bringing areas up to scratch will still be real heavy lifting. How much real work, we can't know until we get 0.7.

Stand-alone lead sections
These are currently optional (according to the MoS), but will become very important because for long articles, we may just pull the lead section as the print article. News style and summary style are your friends. I've suggested "Lead section" as a rating topic.

Non-free images
These should be cleared and replaced where at all feasible.

Note, by the way, that the publisher would probably have a much easier time getting copyright clearances for a fixed paper volume than we do for a changeable open-content encyclopedia (e.g. Tube map, where not having the map would be ridiculous) — though I don't expect anyone to agree this is a good idea.

Publisher
We need to know precisely what they require from us, so we know what to aim for.

 * Size in pages, translate to bytes
 * How much space for images
 * Format for publishing

A lot of the prepress gruntwork can likely be done by Wikipedia volunteers for free. Also, we should be able to test automated systems on 0.7 onwards.

A paper Wikipedia in every classroom in Africa
How do we get a list of schools? How many copies is that? How cheaply can we print a usably good book?

We can almost certainly hitch a ride with other charities for the distribution.

Talk:Canadian Pacific Selkirk locomotive

Tech notes
Further research shows that T1c sub-classes were equipped with two (compared to the normal one) cross-compound air compressors. This was to speed recharging of the airbrake system.

R.L.Kennedy 21:54, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Canada has always used Imperial measure prior to metric. Railways still do not use metric.

R.L.Kennedy 16:24, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

On the subject of the CPR Selkirk locomotives as written in Wikipedia, I challenge the statement that they were built as oil burners due to a weight factor.

CPR went to oil fuel because it was available in Western Canada, it was cheaper than coal, it was easier to handle and there was no ash to dispose of. There was also a reduced fire hazard through the forested areas of the Rockies.

Thank you for the welcome and your invitation to join. I have done so and have further edited this page adding some data and correcting a small amount of information, esp. remark that T1b's were built with a single air compressor. I have just looked at a photo of the first one taken in 1929 when it was brand new and it clearly shows a compound pump. I simply could not imagine an engine of such size and built for mountain work having such a small pump.

Michel Vaillant

Michel Vaillant is a French car racing comics series created in 1957 by French cartoonist Jean Graton and published originally by Le Lombard. Later, Graton published the albums by himself when he founded Graton éditeur in 1982. Michel Vaillant is the main character of the eponymous series, a French racing car driver who competes mainly in Formula One.

The feature first appeared in Tintin magazine, where Jean Graton had already published a number of short stories about real-life sporting heroes. The series appeared in Tintin between 1957 and 1976, in France as well as in Belgium. An estimated 17 million copies of the series' albums have been sold worldwide.

Publication history
On February 7, 1957, Jean Graton created the character Michel Vaillant, with five short stories published in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Tintin, with publication beginning June 12, 1957. With their positive reception, a full-length adventure was written and drawn by Graton, published in Tintin in 1959.

The titles were first published in album format by Le Lombard until 1976, then by Dargaud until 1979, by Fleurus in 1979 and 1980, by Novedi in 1981 and 1982, and finally by Graton editeur, created and owned by Philippe and Jean Graton from 1983 on. In 1995, a new series was launched, the Dossiers Michel Vaillant series, with stories and information on important figures in motorsports and the automobile industry. In 2000, the Palmarès Inedit series was created, with early works and stories previously unpublished in books. In 2007, Studio Graton translated three titles into English: "The Great Challenge" (Tome 1), "China Moon" (Tome 68), "24 Hours Under the Influence" (Tome 70). In 2008, a new collection was launched by Le Lombard, named Integrale Michel Vaillant. This series plans to reprint all past adventures in 20 volumes of 200 pages, each volume grouping several stories. All the titles of the original series are to be reprinted, and many comments, dossiers and unpublished strips added.

Jean Graton later left the writing to his son Philippe, gradually leaving the artwork to the Studio Graton, which he established. Since Graton stopped drawing the series himself, the graphic style has evolved, with Philippe Graton continuing with the writing and three artists providing the artwork. Philippe Graton admitted that the draftsmanship isn't as rigorous as it once was.

Series overview
Vaillante is a family-run French business which, in the beginning, was a transporting company. They also create their own trucks and cars and so decide to enter Formula One racing competition. In 1939, Henri Vaillant, a young driver, creates this new team. In the next seventy plus adventures, Michel Vaillant and the Vaillante race team compete in numerous races in Formula One and other driving competitions such as IndyCar, rallying or enduro challenges.

Michel, Henri's son, is the main driver, his usual team-mate being the American, Steve Warson. The team is first managed by Henri Vaillant, then by Michel's older brother Jean-Pierre. Henri has remained the chairman of the Vaillante firm, but was replaced by Jean-Pierre when he retired.

As the Vaillante firm grows, Vaillante's drivers, among them Michel, accumulate victories, but their success is either disrupted by rivals, by internal problems in the Vaillante team or by the "Leader", the greatest of Vaillante's enemies. Most of the adventures deal with motor racing life, but they also deal with the Vaillante team drivers' private lives, with concerns in the Vaillante firm and with various outside problems.

Realism
The comic is notable for depicting real-life motor racing background, featuring many real-life drivers, teams and personalities. Michel Vaillant competes in existing motor races and Grand Prix on real-life circuits. In the course of the series, the background in which the characters are featured evolves: the series' environment has always been updated, so that cars, teams and personalities have constantly changed.

Graton's graphic style also aims at being realistic, as the illustrations are very technically accurate. Notably, Graton is recognized for the meticulous details he provides on cars illustrations. The numerous depictions of cars and circuits featured in the series are very specific and detailed; Graton used to personally attend races and circuits to take notes. Philippe Graton later continued this practice.

Michel Vaillant's name is very similar to that of the birth name of automotive pioneer Karl Benz, which was Karl Friedrich Michael Vaillant.

Realism is also expressed in the fictional background. Vaillant's factories and property are prominently featured in the series. The Vaillante firm is run as a real company, it has financial problems, must launch advertising campaigns and search for sponsors. It owns factories, which employs several engineers and mechanics that are realistically described and is shown employing several real-life drivers.

The Vaillants own the familial domain "La Jonquière", located a short drive / cycle ride from the factory, and is home throughout the series to Henri and Elisabeth Vaillant. Michel and Jean Pierre lived there in the early books, before striking out on their own.

As the context in which the characters evolved, Michel also is shown getting older. While he looked like a young man of about twenty years at the beginning of his adventures, he is seen progressively reaching middle-age. Recently his appearance is younger than previously. Other fictional characters are also shown getting older. In recent years, their general appearance has become steady. In spite of this he is still depicted as quite young for a man who has competed against drivers of multiple generations, including Juan Manuel Fangio, Graham Hill and Ayrton Senna.

Characters
Michel Vaillant is the main character of the series. Michel Vaillant is a complete driver and sportsman. His main occupation is to drive in the Formula 1 Championship. Michel is named world champion in four different albums. He also twice won the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times. He also competed in rally races, winning the East African Safari and the Paris-Dakar. He participated in several stock-car, F2, F3 and GT races.

He is also able to drive trucks and motorcycles, and practice football, gymnastics, tennis, judo and skiing very well. As a kind, serious, helpful, attentive, honest and generous man, Michel is very popular. His many abilities, his courage and his values, his kindness and his physical appearance make him a practically perfect hero, without any flaws.

Françoise Vaillant is Michel's wife. She first appeared in 1963, as a teenager. At that time, she was a journalist for a newspaper owned by her father Louis Latour, a good friend of Henri Vaillant. In 1966, she appeared again, but as an older, attractive young woman. From that time on, she appeared in every album of the series and saw Vaillant more and more, until his family urged him to marry her. They married in 1974. Françoise has an important role in the series, and in some adventures she is the main character.

Jean-Pierre Vaillant is Michel's older brother by six years. Like Michel, he started as a driver for the Vaillante team. He married Agnès de Chanzy, the daughter of Henri Vaillant's friend living in Argentina, in the very first album. But rapidly, he became more and more interested in managing the family team and to elaborate strategies for Formula One racing. He soon became the leader of the Vaillante society, replacing his father. Able to make difficult decisions, he also does not hesitate to launch ambitious projects. He has a son, Jean-Michel Vaillant, who is Michel's godson.

Steve Warson is an American driver and Michel's best friend. He first appeared in the series in 1957. Steve has a different personality than Michel: he smokes, drinks, flirts, fights, and defies other drivers. Despite his several flaws, he is a good driver for the Vaillante team and a faithful teammate to Michel, even if his romantic adventures sometimes caused him to be Vaillante's occasional rival. His numerous girlfriends have included Ruth and Julie Wood. As good driver as Michel, he outdoes him in most rallying and American races.

 The "Leader" is a mysterious character who is the worst enemy of Vaillante and owner of the Leader team. The Leader team uses modern and advanced technology to compete against the Vaillante team in motor races. The team resorts to aggressive strategies to win races and uses dangerous drivers, such as Vince Hummer, Bob Cramer, Dan Hawkins, Donald Payntor, Michael Borman, and Jack Moore. The leader was brought up by Buddhist monks. An ambitious and cruel man, he studied a form of Buddhism that gives him amazing powers, which he uses to try to dominate the motor industry. His first appearance was in the album "Mach 1 pour Steve Warson".

Ruth alias Jo Barett is the Leader's daughter and was briefly Steve Warson's girlfriend. Before knowing her real origin, Ruth was a kind girl and friendly towards the Vaillante team. She became cruel and mean, taking over as the new Leader at her father's death, and tried to avenge him by fighting against his enemies.

Henri Vaillant is Michel and Jean-Pierre's father. He began as a mechanic, then became a driver, created his own team and then became chairman of Vaillante. Rather authoritarian, he gave his two children a strict education. Later, he let his son Jean-Pierre take over as the leader and retired. His way of life remains modest, as chairman he went to work on a bicycle. A respectable man, close to his employees, he is very appreciated by them.

Elisabeth Vaillant is Henri Vaillant's wife. She married him when he was a simple mechanic, but does not know anything about cars, motor racing, or mechanics.

Julie Wood is an American motorcycle racer and at one time Steve Warson's girlfriend. An orphan, she was brought up by her uncle Chris, in California, with her two brothers, Indy and Phil. She is at ease in any kind of motorcycle race. Before her appearance in the Michel Vaillant series (in the album "Paris-Dakar"), she starred in her own series, Julie Wood, which ran for eight volumes, from 1976 to 1980.

Yves Douleac is a driver for the Vaillante team. He lost his father, a truck driver for Vaillante at Marseilles, at 7. He was brought up by his mother and he was very admirative of Michel Vaillant, getting to know him personally and being employed as a driver. Courageous and proud, he later fell in love with Gabriele Spangenberg, and succeeded in marrying her despite his modest origin.

Gabriele Spangenberg is a German female driver for the Vaillante team and Yves Douléac's girlfriend. Her father, of noble heritage, first opposed such a union, due to Yves's poor origin, but later gave his permission, in the face of Gabriele's determination.

Bob Cramer is an American driver, Vaillante's enemy and a driver for the Leader team along with his friend and partner Dan Hawkins. A drunkard and a brawler, he is also aggressive in motor races where he caused a lot of crashes.

Non-fictional characters

As a driver evolving in the motor racing background, Michel Vaillant competes with many existing drivers, some of whom play an important part in the stories. Pierre Dieudonné appeared in some adventures as a driver for the Vaillante team. Drivers, most notably French and Belgians like Vanina and Jacky Ickx, François Cevert, Patrick Tambay, Thierry Boutsen, René Arnoux, Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Éric Bernard, have made appearances in the storylines.

Gilles Villeneuve and Jacky Ickx are portrayed as good friends of Michel's as is Didier Pironi, and are the most recurring drivers of the series. Didier Pironi played an important part in the album: Un pilote a disparu (1980). Non-fictional team managers and journalists also appear regularly, as do some statesmen and celebrities. Michel himself is often seen being interviewed by real-life journalist Gérard "Jabby" Crombac.

In 1986, the album Irish coffee was awarded the Avoriaz Festival's Grand Prix (Morzine, France).

In other media
In 1967, French TV broadcast a live-action adaptation of the series, Les Aventures de Michel Vaillant. It ran for 13 episodes and featured stories written and filmed around a real-life world sportscar championship, documenting Henri Grandsire driving an Alpine A110, interspersed with dramatic interludes acted by Grandsire himself. Episodes offer rare close-up contemporary footage of races and cars that year at the Rallye Du Nord, Magny Cours, Nürburgring, Monza, Targa Florio, Le Mans, Monaco, Rouen-Les-Essarts, Sebring and Reims.

The series was also adapted into a Michel Vaillant animated series. 65 episodes of 26 minutes were produced in 1990 in France by la Cinq. It was released in the U.S. in 1991-1992 as Heroes on Hot Wheels, produced by Jetlag Productions and the former Family Channel, sponsored by Mattel's Hot Wheels franchise (hence the title) and distributed by France 3 Video and Pacific Media Ventures. Michel's name was anglicized to "Michael Valiant". It was broadcast again in France in 1993 and 1998 by France 2, and sold in more than 30 countries.

A Michel Vaillant film was made in 2003, and the soundtrack to the movie composed by the band Archive was released at the same time.

In popular culture

The series has been influential in the world of auto racing. Some famous Formula One drivers have admitted that their passion for automobile racing originated from reading the Michel Vaillant comics series, among them four- time Formula One champion Alain Prost. In 1969, Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari personally wished Michel Vaillant a happy 20th birthday. The circuit Zolder, in Belgium, in which several well-known motorsport races take place, have paid tribute to the series, naming the biggest building of the circuit "Michel Vaillant club".

Many real cars were adapted from automobile designs from the series. Cars bearing the logo Vaillante ran in Le Mans in 1997 and 2003: A Courage in 1997, while in 2003, Vaillante cars have been designed to be used in the Luc Besson's movie. Some fans have built a real Vaillante Grand Defi, a model which appeared several times in the comics series. The car has participated in real races, under the brand Vaillante. A model was marketed in Belgium, the Honda Civic Vaillante, of which 50 models have been produced. Automobile designer Luc Donckerwolke (current designer of Lamborghini, previously of SEAT) has drawn his inspiration from cars drawn by Jean Graton to design some real car models. He also designed the SEAT Ibiza Vaillante, exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show in 2006. It was also Luc Donckerwolke who transformed a Lola B98/10–Judd into a Vaillante and a Panoz LMP-1 Roadster-S into a Leader car in 2003 for the Besson movie.
