Talk:Jeff Hardy

My Life, My Rules
Seeing as how this dvd has been confirmed on the WWE website, shouldn't we put something up about the dvd? It comes out in less that two weeks (from the time i write this) 75.187.106.251 (talk) 06:42, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

But the question is that is it really useful to contribute to the article?-- Pookeo9 Talk If you need anything  23:59, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it should at least get a 1 sentence mention on the "Other Media" section, along with the other WWE DVD's he's been in.  TJ   Spyke   00:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, any DVD or autobiography with sources should be mentioned. DVDs are certainly helpful.-- Will C  09:26, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I want to change Jeff Hardy's written weight, cause at the last TNA PPV (Victory Road, July 11), he has been announced as a 232lbs wrestler. Please change his weight from 215lbs to 232lbs. Ok, I have uploaded the cut video file from the pay-per-view. And yes, it was a live event. http://www.mediafire.com/?cjldzjfyniiwuly —Preceding unsigned comment added by L1fel1ker (talk • contribs) 22:47, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Heel Turn
At Bound for Glory, Hardy turned heel with Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff and with their help defeated Angle and Anderson to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for the first time. They were then joined by Jeff Jarrett and Abyss, revealing the group that Abyss had been referring to as "they" for several months.[155] On the following edition of Impact! the stable was named Immortal, as it formed an alliance with Ric Flair's Fortune. Meanwhile, Hardy debuted a new dark character, using cryptic messages as he explained the reasons behind his turn.[156] At Turning Point Hardy retained his title in a defense against Matt Morgan, a replacement for Mr. Anderson, who was sidelined after suffering a concussion during an attack by Hardy.

Edit request from 92.3.191.163, 14 July 2011
Please delete the link referring to Jeff Hardy's 'Retirement (2010–present)' and subsequently, the statement claiming that 'On July 7th, hardy posted on his facebook page that his contract with TNA had expired. His final match will be against Rob Van Dam'

Jeff Hardy does not use nor even own a Facebook account, which is reinforced by his official twitter page; http://twitter.com/#!/JEFFHARDYBRAND

The information is unreliable and incredibly misleading. It may be beneficial to add that there has been talk of his retirement due to career ending back surgery but nothing has been confirmed. This can be seen on Matt Hardy's youtube entry, http://www.youtube.com/user/MATTHARDYBRAND#p/u/26/6j_dpvbQyQU

If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.

Please add the recent history of Hardy's career. Like him quiting TNA. Please!

The ENIGMA Fighter (talk) 22:59, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a newspaper or a fan forum and is not the place to post or discuss the latest rumours. If Jeff Hardy really does quit TNA then I'm sure reliable sources will present themselves and we can update the article. Until then, no.  ŞůṜīΣĻ  ¹98¹  Speak 23:19, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Jeff Hardy is still with TNA. It's pretty obvious that he's "The Willow", and I'm sure the Wikipedia wrestling nerds will make the update once a "reliable source" presents this information. --50.20.85.75 (talk) 15:56, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Why is "No More Words" by Endeverafter (which is easily Jeff Hardy's most popular theme song) not in the Entrance Themes list? A.roy20 (talk) 06:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 8 September 2014
The explanation for the debacle at Victory Road with Sting needs to be much better-explained to include the facts that Jeff Hardy admitted being too intoxicated by drugs to compete, that various sources in the company - including Sting - stated they knew hours before the match that Hardy was too intoxicated to perform; he had to be carried from his trailer and held up in the "gorilla" position and it took him an unusually long time to come out during his entrance theme. It should also be stated that TNA offered refunds and free access to content as a result of how angry and upset fans were, as this was a main event match for a title at a PPV that people paid $30 to watch. Sting also broke kayfabe after Eric Bischoff ran into the ring and spoke to him. It took Sting 6 seconds to pin Hardy; Hardy can be seen trying to kick out of the pin but is restrained by Sting in order to end the match. Fans were chanting "bullshit! bullshit!" and Sting can clearly be heard agreeing with them as he exits the area. This horribly incomplete blurb should also include the fact that this is widely considered one of the worst matches of all time and that it resulted in TNA losing mass viewership. Many fans have stated that they never watched TNA again.

Replace the "** Reverse Twist of Fate (Inverted facelock neckbreaker slam) – rarely used"" line. If Hardy is the only (active) wrestler to use it, as he is to the best of my knowledge, then it's still a signature move, even if it IS seldomly used. 85.229.51.18 (talk) 20:46, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

"widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers in professional wrestling history"
I think this should be removed, as it's clearly not true. If one were to comb through books and the internet to synthesize the various "greatest of all time" lists, there would be only a handful of names that recurred frequently enough to qualify uncontroversially (Flair, Austin, Michaels, etc). Hardy might appear on a list or two, but certainly not enough to say he's "widely regarded" as one of the greatest.

Of the 5 citations listed, two are meaningless promotional copy from TNA and WWE (neither of which claim Hardy as an all-time great), one is simply a list of titles won, one is a low quality listicle, and one is an unsigned article, from a website of no particular repute, about Hardy's recent release. This last one does indeed say "widely considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all-time" but offers no citation or evidence for its claim.

If Jeff Hardy can be considered to be "widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers in professional wrestling history" based on the above, then I should be able to submit an edit suggesting that Hardy is a unicorn based on links to a couple of blog posts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.158.44.2 (talk) 04:44, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I've reverted the edits adding this in, as the sources did not support the claim.RF23 (talk) 10:57, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I've removed this previously but another user edit warred to keep it in. Several sources have been added that supposedly support this claim but they don't even say it... some of these sources aren't even reliable in the first place. One source, talkSPORT, does say that he is " widely considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all-time". I have no idea how reliable this source is but I think we do need multiple sources to back up this claim or we need to attribute it to them. Ultimately, I think it would be better to remove this entirely.LM2000 (talk) 11:44, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added attribution to Talksport, since they're the sole source that actually says this. Also pinging involved users:, , and .LM2000 (talk) 12:12, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
 * On second thought, this was added and maintained by some pretty blatant sockpuppets (Sockpuppet investigations/Rizhbergs). If the investigation concludes that's the case, these additions should be blanked without further discussion.LM2000 (talk) 13:37, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

I think the version quoting Talksport is still acceptable regardless of the sock puppet investigation.  oncamera  (talk page)  13:41, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

My involvement is pretty simple. A novice editor, who had gained attention by making questionable edits on a multitude of pages, removed a significant paragraph which cited multiple sources and had been part of this article for a significant amount of time. I saw the topic had already been raised here. I undid the edit and in the edit summary suggested to weigh in on the talk page and get consensus. I did not look much deeper into it. The user responded, however, on my talk page. I again referred them to this talk page as it is outside my normal purview. Feel free to check out the interaction at User talk:SVTCobra. The alternate source we mention is this. --SVTCobra 14:21, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Simply I'm a free agent, edits everywhere not only in particular page saw that something missing I added besides what given in sources and what I founded...not engaged in any editing war and if you think that this sources is not reliable you may remove this and swear I will never come here to edit this so check the sources and reference and then take the decision. I kept interest everywhere and edits everywhere not only in one particular field..before taking any decision just check out the provided sources don't take it personally I'm neither a scammer nor I'm interested in spreading rumours...Now you make take decision. LM2000 (talk) this one is my account which I used a months ago for another purpose not for this purpose...My intention is not to spread wrong information i edits with respect to sources...and swear not to violate any rules...I'm personally very sorry for that LM2000 (talk) never will do this mistake Rizhbergs (talk)  26 December 2021 (UTC)

Also, take a look on the Hardy Boys "widely regarded as one of the greatest tag teams in professional wrestling history" with just one WWE source. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 16:36, 26 December 2021 (UTC) So, obviously the current version is an improvement. I still thing the sentence should be removed for a few reasons. Per WP:LEAD, everything in the lede should be reflected in the rest of the article somewhere. Not only is he not referred to as "widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers in professional wrestling history" anywhere else in the article, but he doesn't even have a Legacy section. Then there's the source. Again, I don't know if talkSPORT counts as WP:RS or not. Even assuming that it is, I have the same problems with it that 141.158.44.2 pointed out above. The article is about him losing his job at WWE. While it makes a passing mention that he is "widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers in professional wrestling history", it doesn't explain why and doesn't discuss his legacy at all. Compare this to Ric Flair, who has multiple citations in that lede, or Lou Thesz, who has a six paragraph Legacy section. I think that we give this source WP:UNDUE weight and essentially push a WP:FRINGE idea.LM2000 (talk) 08:33, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić

Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić (18 April 1874 – 21 September 1938) was a Croatian writer. She has been praised as the best Croatian writer for children.

Early life
She was born on 18 April 1874 in Ogulin into a well-known Croatian family of Mažuranić. Her father Vladimir Mažuranić was a writer, lawyer and historian who wrote Prinosi za hrvatski pravno-povjestni rječnik (Croatian dictionary for history and law) in 1882. Her grandfather was the politician, the Ban of Croatia and poet Ivan Mažuranić, while her grandmother Aleksandra Demeter was the sister of well-known writer and one of keypersons of Croatian national revival movement, Dimitrija Demeter. Ivana was largely home-schooled. With the family she moved first to Karlovac, then to Jastrebarsko, and ultimately to Zagreb.

Upon marriage to Vatroslav Brlić, a politician and a prominent lawyer in 1892, she moved to Brod na Savi (today Slavonski Brod) where she entered another known family and lived there for most of her life. She became the mother of seven children and devoted all her work to her family and education. Her first literary creations were initially written in French.

Work
Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić started writing poetry, diaries and essays rather early but her works were not published until the beginning of the 20th century. Her stories and articles like the series of educational articles under the name "School and Holidays" started to be published more regularly in the journals after the year 1903.

It was in 1913 when her book The Marvelous Adventures and Misadventures of Hlapić the Apprentice (also known as The Brave Adventures of Lapitch and Čudnovate zgode šegrta Hlapića) was published that really caught the literary public's eye. In the story, the poor apprentice Hlapić accidentally finds his master's lost daughter as his luck turns for the better.

Her book Croatian Tales of Long Ago (Priče iz davnine), published in 1916, is among the most popular today in large part because of its adaptation into a computerized interactive fiction product by Helena Bulaja in 2003/2006. In the book Mažuranić created a series of new fairy-tales, but using names and motifs from the Slavic mythology of Croats. It was this that earned her comparisons to Hans Christian Andersen and Tolkien who also wrote completely new stories but based in some elements of real mythology.

Brlić-Mažuranić was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times – in 1931 and 1935 she was nominated by the historian Gabriel Manojlović, and in 1937 and 1938 he was joined by the philosopher Albert Bazala, both based in Zagreb. In 1937 she also became the first woman accepted as a Corresponding Member into the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts. She was awarded Order of Saint Sava.

After a long battle with depression, she committed suicide on 21 September 1938 in Zagreb. She is buried in Mirogoj Cemetery in Zagreb.

List of works

 * 1902 The Good and the Mischievous (Valjani i nevaljani)
 * 1905 School and Holidays (Škola i praznici)
 * 1912 Pictures (poetry) (Slike)
 * 1913 The Brave Adventures of Lapitch (Čudnovate zgode šegrta Hlapića)
 * 1916 Croatian Tales of Long Ago (Priče iz davnine)
 * 1923 A Book for Youth (Knjige o omladini)
 * 1935 From the Archives of Family Brlić in Brod na Savi (Iz arhive obitelji Brlić u Brodu na Savi)
 * 1937 Jaša Dalmatin Viceroy of the Gujarati (Jaša Dalmatin, potkralj Gudžarata)
 * 1939 Gingerbread Heart (Srce od licitara)
 * 1943 Fables and Fairy-tales (Basne i bajke)

Translations
Her books of novels and fairy tales for children, originally intended to educate her own, have been translated into nearly all European languages. Highly regarded and valued by both national and foreign literary critics, she obtained the title of Croatian Andersen.

The Marvelous Adventures and Misadventures of Hlapić the Apprentice was translated, among other languages, into Bengali (by Dr. Probal Dashgupta), Hindi, Chinese (by Shi Cheng Tai), Vietnamese (a few chapters), Turkish, Japanese (by Sekoguchi Ken) and Parsi (by Achtar Etemadi). Most of the latter translations were made indirectly, through Esperantists. The book's most recent Esperanto translation is by Maja Tišljar, and important part in translations of "Adventures of Hlapić" had Spomenka Štimec, the most important Croatian writer that writes in Esperanto.

Film
In the 1990s, the Croatia Film company adapted Brlić-Mažuranić's work The Marvellous Adventures and Misadventures of Hlapić the Apprentice as a children's animated feature, Lapitch the Little Shoemaker. Originally released in 1997, it became Croatia's most successful theatrical release, and was its official submission to the 70th Academy Awards (in the Best Foreign Language Film category).

Milan Blažeković, the director of Lapitch, has been developing another animated adaptation of her works since 2000, Tales of Long Ago (Priče iz davnine).

In 2000, Helena Bulaja started an interactive animated project based on her book Croatian Tales of Long Ago. The project, which consists of eight animated interactive stories, cartoons and games, was published as two CD-ROMs and a series of book/DVD editions. It was created in Flash by eight independent international teams of animators, illustrators, musicians, programmers, actors etc. from all around the world (US, France, UK, Germany, Russia, Australia, Croatia), whose work was coordinated on the Internet. The unique and innovative project and the animations won several awards at the most famous international festivals of new media and animation, including Flashforward San Francisco, Lucca Comics and Games multimedia award, International Family Film Festival in Hollywood and others. A series of innovative educational iPhone and iPad games based on the project are in development.

Tributes
On 18 April 2014, Google celebrated Ivana Brlić Mažuranić’s 140th Birthday with a doodle.

Tamihere was born in Auckland on 8 February 1959, the 11th of 13 children of John Hamil Tamihere and Ruby Elaine Tamihere (née McEwen). Of Māori descent, he affiliates to the Whakatohea and Ngāti Porou ki Hauraki iwi. He is a brother to convicted murderer David Tamihere.

John Tamihere attended St Mary's School in Avondale and St Peter's College where a teacher named Tom Weal, deputy leader of the Social Credit Political League 1970–1972, had a strong influence on him. Tamihere rated Weal as his most influential teacher, and said that Weal would link things to politics and, in particular, to New Zealand's agricultural policies. Weal would emphasise that grass was the most important New Zealand crop, as it was the basis of the wool, meat, and dairy industries. Weal alerted Tamihere to the impact that Britain's joining the European Common market would have on New Zealand's economy and society. According to Weal, New Zealand would have to wake up quickly to the loss of the relationship with Britain, find new markets and new ways of doing things, and back itself. "The way Mr Weal brought education to life gave me a strong interest in what I call the Kiwi-isation of our society", wrote Tamihere.

Tamihere gained arts and law degrees from the University of Auckland, being the first person in his family to attend university. After graduating, he became a lawyer, eventually working for the Māori Land Court and the Department of Māori Affairs. In 1991, Tamihere became the chief executive of the Waipareira Trust, a trust that provides health and education services to Māori in the Auckland region. He also served as chairman of the New Zealand Māori Rugby League Board. Tamihere had a relatively high profile before entering politics, having been selected as Person of the Year by The Sunday Star-Times, New Zealander of the Year by North & South magazine, and Man of the Year by Metro magazine.

Election and roles
In the 1999 election, Tamihere stood as the Labour Party's candidate for the Māori electorate of Hauraki. He won the seat with 60 percent of the vote; his nearest rival gained only 15 percent. He became chairman of the Māori Affairs Select Committee and also served on the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee.

In the 2002 election, Tamihere contested the newly formed Tamaki Makaurau electorate, which he won with 73 percent of the vote. He gained the second-highest majority in a Māori electorate, exceeded only by that of Parekura Horomia, the Minister of Māori Affairs. Tamihere was appointed to Cabinet in 2002. He served as Minister of Small Business, Minister of Youth Affairs, Minister of Statistics, and Minister for Land Information, as well as functioning as Horomia's deputy as Associate Minister of Māori Affairs until 2004.

Journalist Vernon Small said that "in the mid-2000s Tamihere was seen as a rising star, and even a potential prime minister".

Foreshore and seabed controversy
The foreshore and seabed controversy of 2004–2005 put considerable strain on the Labour Party's Māori MPs, with many showing dissatisfaction with the party's policy. Two Labour MPs, Tariana Turia and Nanaia Mahuta, chose to vote against Labour's legislation, and Turia elected to leave the party. Tamihere, however, eventually voted in favour of the legislation, and defended it from its critics. Tamihere also criticised the new Māori Party established by Turia and her supporters, saying that it would ultimately fail. According to Tamihere, the party's leaders belonged "to a relatively wealthy, educated elite", and did not represent ordinary Maori.

Resignation from Ministerial roles
In October 2004, Tamihere was accused of dishonest financial dealings, including accepting a "golden handshake" from the Waipareira Trust after stating that he would not take one, and failing to pay tax on this payment. On 15 October 2004, Tamihere requested leave from his Ministerial portfolios; he said that he had "done nothing to bring shame", but portrayed standing down from his Ministerial roles during the investigation as the "honourable" course. On 22 October, the Waipareira Trust accepted that it, not Tamihere, had the responsibility for tax on any payment, but other allegations relating to the financial management of the Trust persisted. On 3 November Tamihere resigned from his Ministerial portfolios, citing as untenable the retention of his responsibilities during on-going investigations. On 21 December, an official investigation cleared Tamihere of the tax charges, and on 14 March 2005, the Serious Fraud Office cleared him of the charges relating to his stewardship of the Waipareira Trust.

Other political controversies while in office
On 4 April 2005, the magazine Investigate published an interview in which Tamihere insulted the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers. About Prime Minister Helen Clark he said, "But she's no good with emotions. She goes to pieces. She'll fold on the emotional side and walk away or not turn up. She knows it's going to get emotional and it upsets her. We've never had a great relationship". Tamihere also made comments regarded as derogatory about other members of the Labour Party: Steve Maharey was called "smarmy" and lacking in substance, and Michael Cullen was depicted as cunning and manipulative. Women were referred to as "front-bums" and the party's homosexual MPs were also criticised.

Tamihere denies that the interview he gave was on the record, a claim disputed by the journalist in question. Helen Clark speculated on Tamihere's having had a "liquid lunch", and indicated that a return to cabinet for Tamihere was no longer certain. Tamihere was advised to take leave to consider his position, and began attempting to mend relations with his colleagues.

A week later, however, more comments emerged from the interview. Tamihere was reported as being highly critical of women leaders, saying that they achieved their position through preferential treatment. He also stated that he was "sick and tired of hearing how many Jews got gassed" in the Holocaust, saying that while he found the Holocaust revolting, he believed that repeated mention of it was simply used to make people "feel guilty". He also alleged that Clayton Cosgrove, previously believed to be one of Tamihere's closest allies in the party, had conducted a "nasty" campaign of telephone harassment against Clark and her husband when Clark deposed Mike Moore as party leader in 1993. These latest revelations were regarded by many as the end of Tamihere's career within the Labour Party, and Clark indicated that she saw no chance of Tamihere being elected to Cabinet again. The revelation of these comments also ended talk of a potential move to another party, the National Party being frequently mentioned, and also ended attempts by opposition parties in New Zealand to portray Tamihere as a victim of the Labour Party and to use the comments to point out the flaws within the Labour Party. At the Labour Party caucus meeting on 12 April, Tamihere attended despite being placed on stress leave by Clark. He apologised for his comments and was censured by the meeting, but was not asked to resign from the party.

Loss of seat
In the 2005 election, Tamihere lost his electorate seat to Pita Sharples of the Māori Party and left Parliament. He had previously decided not to seek a list placement, stating that this decision was due to his desire to determine whether he had the "people's mandate."

Return to Waipareira Trust
After his election loss, Tamihere sought re-election to the Waipareira Trust. He was voted back onto the board by members of the trust, but the board itself tried to remove him by changing the governance rules. This resulted in a legal case which Tamihere and the four other newly elected board members won. As of 2020 Tamihere is still chief executive of the trust.

In late September 2022, Charities Services general manager Natasha Weight confirmed that the agency was investigating two charities headed by Tamihere, the Waipareira Trust and the National Urban Māori Authority, for financing his 2019 Auckland mayoral and 2020 general election campaigns. Under existing legislation, charities are banned from donating or endorsing political parties or candidates and allowing them to use their resources. According to the Charities Register, Te Whānau o Waipareira Trust Group had provided NZ$385,307 in interest free loans to support Tamihere's 2020 election campaign while the National Urban Māori Authority had paid NZ$70,833 to support his 2019 Auckland mayoral campaign and NZ$82,695 payment to support his 2020 election campaign and Māori Party aspirations. In response, Tamihere accused the Charities Services of discriminating against Māori causes and the Māori Party. Tamihere and the Māori Party also confirmed that they would litigate against the Charities Service if the agency ruled against them. In addition, Tamihere criticised The New Zealand Herald journalist Matt Nippert's coverage of the two charities' donations to his election campaigns, which he described as racist. He announced that the Māori Party would be boycotting The Herald.

In May 2023, the Waipareira Trust agreed to cease making political donations and recover funds it had made in interest free loans to its chief executive and Te Pāti Māori President Tamihere. By February 2024, Tamihere had repaid his loan to the Waipareira Trust. This loan had been used to fund his political campaigns. The Charities Service confirmed that it was still continuing its investigation into the Waipareira Trust's political donations.

In July 2024, the Charities Service concluded its four year investigation into the Waipareira Trust's donations into Tamihere's political campaigns and the referred the case to the peak charities regulator, the Charities Registration Board.

Radio career and the "Roast Busters" controversy
Tamihere previously co-hosted a talkback show, Willie & JT, on Radio Live with Willie Jackson. He is well known for his trenchant political commentaries on television, radio and through other media. Tamihere and Jackson also have a New Zealand current affairs debate-based TV show, "The world according to Willie and JT". In 2007, Tamihere and Jackson ran for the mayoralties in Waitakere City and Manukau City respectively. Both were unsuccessful, Tamihere finishing second behind the incumbent, Bob Harvey. From 2011 to 2012, he hosted the TV3 show Think Tank that dealt with issues affecting New Zealanders and particularly those of importance to Maori.

In November 2013, on RadioLive, Willie Jackson and John Tamihere interviewed a 'friend' of an alleged rape victim, "Amy". Amy discussed information she knew about an incident by a group called the "Roast Busters" that was under investigation in New Zealand. Jackson and Tamihere asked her why and how much the girls had been drinking, and why they were out late at night. "The other side comes to it, were they willing drinkers?" They also questioned why the girls, some as young as 13, had not made formal complaints to the police, asked "how free and easy are you kids these days?", and asked Amy what age she had lost her virginity. They also described the Roast Busters' actions as "mischief". Jackson and Tamihere also implied that some young girls who had consensual sex with the young men may now "line up and say they were raped as well". Amy said she believed those involved were rapists, which was met with a small laugh by the hosts, who then said: "Well if some of the girls have consented that doesn't make them rapists, right?" Many on social media were angry with the pair, calling for them to be fired or to step down from their positions. Vodafone, Telecom, Countdown and Briscoes suspended all RadioLive advertising due to the interview. Four other advertisers pulled their campaigns from the station earlier.

On 11 November, the pair stood down from their show for the rest of the year. Jackson returned in early 2014 with new co-host Alison Mau, replacing Tamihere, who did not return. This resulted in Tamihere launching legal action against Mediaworks alleging breach of his contract. Mediaworks eventually settled and apologised.

2014 general election
In October 2012, Tamihere made moves to resume his parliamentary career by indicating that he would like to stand again for the Labour Party in the 2014 election, but his name was not on Labour's list. On 17 November 2012, Tamihere was barred from the Labour Party Annual Conference after criticising the party for being "too focused on issues like gay marriage".

Local government
In the 2013 New Zealand local elections, Tamihere stood successfully for a seat on the board of the Waitakere Licensing Trust, which owns and operates a chain of wholesale liquor outlets and bars in West Auckland. He also stood, but narrowly missed out, for a seat on the Waitemata District Health Board, which also covers the North Shore and Rodney areas. Tamihere said that he did "very well in West Auckland but just could not carry the North Shore votes." He said that he did no campaigning for either post, such as attending public meetings, putting up placards or handing out pamphlets, preferring to "just put my name on the ballot to see what happens". Tamihere did not seek election to any local government positions in 2016.

Tamihere ran unsuccessfully for Auckland mayor in the 2019 election. Tamihere came second, with 22% of the vote. He used the term "Sieg Heil" during a debate. After Goff stated "We won't put up with the sort of nonsense that we get from racists coming into this country to tell us that multiculturalism doesn't work," Tamihere responded, "I say sieg heil to that." After the debate, Tamihere initially denied using the term, then stated his comments were a criticism of Goff's decision to bar Canadian visitors Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern from using an Auckland Council venue for an event in 2018, calling Goff "a dictator". Also during the campaign, Tamihere made a complaint over three social media posts posted by Phil Goff, but the complaints were rejected by the Advertising Standards Authority.

2020 general election
In 2020, Tamihere joined the Māori Party, and in April 2020 he was announced as the party's co-leader along with Debbie Ngarewa-Packer. Tamihere was the Māori Party's candidate for the electorate of Tāmaki Makaurau and was seventh on the party list.

Tamihere said he would vote yes in the 2020 New Zealand cannabis referendum that was held alongside the 2020 general election, but would rather cannabis was only decriminalised rather than legalised. He narrowly failed to unseat incumbent Labour MP for Tamaki Makaurau Peeni Henare and did not enter Parliament. His son-in-law Rawiri Waititi won Waiariki and, as the only Maori Party MP who successfully contested an electorate in 2020, automatically replaced him as male co-leader of the party.

President of the Māori Party
On 8 June 2022, Tamihere succeeded Che Wilson as president of the Māori Party.

2023 general election
During the 2023 New Zealand general election, Tamihere contested the Te Atatū electorate for the Māori Party. He came fifth place, with Labour's Phil Twyford winning the electorate. Though Tamihere was not elected into Parliament, the Māori Party won six of the seven Māori electorates.

In early June 2024, Stuff journalist Andrea Vance published two reports alleging that staff at the Manurewa Marea in the Tāmaki Makaurau electorate had illegally collected personal data obtained during the 2023 New Zealand census collection and COVID-19 immunisation drives for political campaigning purposes by Te Pāti Māori during the 2023 general election. Former marae workers also alleged that Census participants were given vouchers and gifts to encourage them to switch to the Māori roll. Manurewa Marae CEO Takutai Moana Kemp had successfully contested Tāmaki Makaurau as a Te Pāti Māori candidate during the 2023 election. In addition, the Labour Party complained that Tamihere's Waipareira Trust used a text code to encourage COVID-19 vaccine recipients to vote for Te Pāti Māori during the 2023 election. Statistics New Zealand launched an investigation into the alleged data breaches.

In response, Tamihere claimed that the census data misuse allegations were made by disgruntled former marae employees. Following second allegations, Tamihere denounced the allegations as baseless and claimed that the party was being targeted by opponents for speaking up for Māori. Tamihere also accused Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki of attempting to take over Manurewa Marae. Former Māori academic Rawiri Taonui has disputed the allegations against Waipareira Trust, Te Pāti Māori and Manurewa Marae; arguing that photocopies of census data were taken solely for verification purposes and destroyed, highlighting that Statistics New Zealand had clarified that neither Tamihera, the Waipareira Trust and the Whanau Ora Commissioning Agency had access to their database, disputing that vouchers were used to encourage people to switch to the Māori electoral roll, and denying that Māori Party flyers were included in wellbeing packs.

Views and opinions
Tamihere has a high public profile, much of it derived from his beliefs on a number of issues. He has made a significant impact in Māori politics by campaigning on behalf of "Urban Māori", who often have no remaining links to their iwi or hapū (tribe or sub-tribal grouping). According to Tamihere, traditional structures such as iwi do not reflect the reality of modern Māori life, and have proven inadequate for solving today's problems. Tamihere has condemned modern iwi organisations as "new feudal tribal constructs", dominated by an elite group far removed from the majority of Maori. These comments have angered many prominent Māori leaders, but won him considerable popularity with ordinary Māori voters, as well as with a large measure of non-Māori supporters.

Tamihere has also attracted both criticism and praise for his views on Māori self-sufficiency. According to Tamihere, too many Māori "blam[e] others for our failure", and Māori need to "take responsibility for our own actions". This has placed him at odds with Māori politicians such as Willie Jackson, who accuse Tamihere of "victim-blaming". Tamihere, however, claims that the "victim mentality" holds Māori back, and that Māori need to abandon it if they wish to improve their living standards.

Tamihere has expressed concern that the National-led coalition government's boot camp programme would fail without long-term support. He said "the kids loved it because it wasn;t about a boot camp. It was about the discipline of working out how discipline works within a structured environment these kids had never been part of. You've got to watch because as soon as they come out of that you've got to put them on a staircase. Unless you are micromanaging that staircase all the way through they fall off and they fall deeper."

Other controversies
Tamihere was convicted for three drink driving and other driving offences between 1978 and 1995, according to the National Business Review.

In May 2005, Tamihere was cautioned by the New Zealand SPCA after he left two cats when he moved house. Neighbours said the cats had been left without food or water for eleven days and the New Zealand Herald reported that the two cats were discovered with feline immunodeficiency virus.

In April 2013, Tamihere made headlines when he removed a wheel clamp himself.

In April 2020, two doctors walked off the job at a COVID-19 testing clinic in West Auckland, after claims Tamihere told his staff to lie in order to meet the criteria to get tested for COVID-19. The clinic is operated by the Waipareira Trust, for which Tamihere is the chief executive. Tamihere refused an interview request and said it was an employment matter.

Talk:Escitalopram

Alcohol and Escitalopram
Could we get some information/studies/details on how escitalopram and alcohol might interact, and whether they do in fact interact at all? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.45.25.61 (talk) 18:57, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Antidepressant utility "controversial" for moderate depression?
I am concerned that the use of the word "controversial" in second sentence of this article is unwarranted.
 * The utility of antidepressant drugs in the treatment of mild-to-moderate depression is itself controversial.

If you read the 2010 meta-analysis cited here, it doesn't look at Escitalopram, but rather at (only) 3 studies of one older SSRI, paroxetine, and three studies of the tricycle (TCA), imipramine, an old kind of antidepressant medication (ADM) that is hardly used anymore. The JAMA article also mentions several studies of ADM for dysthymia (a less severe, but chronic, depression), that show ADM demonstrates a “true” drug effect in patients with mild or moderate depressive symptoms.

It is my opinion that if scientific doubt about the efficacy of any particular SSRI were to be mentioned, it might be better phrased with less arousing language, such as is used in the third paragraph of the Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor article:

 * The efficacy of SSRIs in mild or moderate cases of depression has been disputed.[4][5][6]

There are plenty of good articles expressing doubts and worries about the explosion of use of SSRIs, such as Percentage of Americans on Antidepressants Nearly Doubles, 6Nov2015. But one in three adults will experience an episode of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), so IMO, it'd be better just to omit this whole sentence from the article, than leave it there as is, like a little IED that sows doubt in the mind of some poor soul struggling to take the advice of their medical professional.

For convenience, here are the two relevant sections of the JAMA meta-analysis that I referred to:

''[...] Three studies utilized the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) imipramine and three utilized the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) paroxetine. [...] The pooled sample used in the current analyses included 434 patients in the ADM group and 284 patients in the placebo group.''

''[...] Several studies have demonstrated that ADM is superior to placebo for patients diagnosed with dysthymia, a condition partly defined by lower symptom levels relative to MDD. The dysthymia studies indicate that ADM can produce a “true” drug effect in patients with mild or moderate depressive symptoms. However, dysthymia is by definition a chronic condition, and chronicity is known to be associated with poor response to placebo''.

Proposed changes
·Information to be added: Suicide/suicidal thoughts or clinical worsening.

Depression is associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts, self harm and suicide (suicide-related events). This risk persists until significant remission occurs. As improvement may not occur during the first few weeks or more of treatment, patients should be closely monitored until such improvement occurs. It is general clinical experience that the risk of suicide may increase in the early stages of recovery. Patients with a history of suicide-related events or those exhibiting a significant degree of suicidal ideation prior to commencement of treatment are known to be at greater risk of suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts, and should receive careful monitoring during treatment.

A meta-analysis of placebo-controlled clinical studies of antidepressants in adult patients with psychiatric disorders showed an increased risk of suicidal behaviour with antidepressants compared to placebo, in patients less than 25 years old. Close supervision of patients and in particular those at high risk should accompany treatment especially in early treatment and following dose changes. Patients (and caregivers of patients) should be alerted to the need to monitor for any clinical worsening, suicidal behaviour or thoughts and unusual changes in behaviour and to seek medical advice immediately if these symptoms present.

·Explanation of issue: At the top of the page, there is a mention to serious side effects related to suicide ("More serious side effects may include suicide in people under the age of 25"). This mention is a section of the SmPC and miss essential information related to Suicide/suicidal thoughts clinical worsening. It is important to include the full class label related to the SmPC as stated above with the below reference.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glenn NoLastName

Vanity. Zero Google hits for Glenn NoLastName or for Glenn Harding Englert. RickK 06:06, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)

keep it - Try searching google for 'glenn' ... how do you list that alphabetically? There are a few hits on Rusty Harding ("bongo"'s father) I'm pretty sure Glenn is NOT related to Warren G Harding. I've seen Bongo at the Friar's club and several big fundraising events and spectacles here in Southern California.
 * Now has a link from a redirect Bongo, Bongo the Clown, which gets a few Google hits. Info, not a vote --1pezguy 06:46, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)

I'm putting up some bios of some other clowns as well, Frankie, Clownzo, DooDoo, Ernest Borgnine, George Voorhees, (the very first Ronald McDonald, with Clownzo(Terry Teene's) assistance they created the costume, the character and make-up, as well as the name, and are now legally enjoined from performing as Ronald McDonald), Jack Simon the Magic Pieman (last words before dying of a sudden heart attack during a performance: "Ok kids, now watch THIS!), Winky... as well as some information on the clown world that I've learned directfrom the clowns themselves.

I know it's a fairly obscure subject, but clowns are sometimes hard to get serious information from, so it's understandable that there are few hits on these guy's real names. But I believe their story deserves to be told. I guess this is a 'keep it vote', but I wrote the article, so... if this one is not welcome, I guess the other's won't be either. Pedant 07:58, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * User:Pedant's only contributions are to this page, so presumably this is the author. Dunc_Harris|☺ 11:25, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * yes, I am the author, no this is not a vanity page, yes it was my first article, but its no longer the only article,and I have made several substantial edits, extended some stubs, and am now working on extending the taper-friendly band list and it's unfriendly cohort... I also corrected an important error in the list. I've edited the The Village page to make it accurate but not a spoiler...   also made substantial contributions to clown, though the original article was far from a stub.Pedant 05:19, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

QUESTION 1: Is it 'proper' wikiing to have an article at Glenn and Bongo, Bongo the Clown putting clown-related info on the one and all other info on the other?
 * I attempted to wikify the article (still needs cleanup, though), so I disqualify myself from voting . In my opinion, the article ought to be moved to Glenn (Actor), added to a disambiguation page for Glenn and then this "nolastname" article should be deleted. --Ardonik 09:08, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete unless verified. -- Cyrius|✎ 21:11, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * I wrote the original article, I do agree that it should be moved to Glenn, but maybe Glenn (Artist) or Glenn (Clown), or move to the Bongo,bongo the Clown page?? as I'm not sure clowns are considered actors? I'm holding off on putting up the other clown bios, until this one is sorted out, since this is my first wiki subject, I thought I'd wait so that I don't need to go back and fix a bunch of newbie mistakes...or cause a cleanup problem. I have some copies of some really really strange looking legal documents I got from bongo/glenn, that I'm trying to get a response from the IRS about...if they are genuine, I will be a bit surprised.  I also own a work of his 'art' that seems to be made of a wax and spiderwebs and balloon fragments.  I've also seen his drivers license and social security card, at the 1998 Easter Seals 24 hour marathon - where he won a pie-eating contest after demanding that the prize money be doubled if he entered.  The prize money went to Easter seals.  The North Valley Clown Alley is based in Granada Hills,  California   Bongo The Clown is not the same person as " Mr. Bongo " the British humorist.  (If the author of a page shouldn't vote on it, I retract my vote.).Pedant 08:56, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: Your vote counts as much as anyone's. (So does yours, Ardonik.)  It is, however, a courtesy to admit up front when you have a vested interest in the page.  Thanks. Rossami
 * Oh. In that case, keep.  I'd much rather have articles on professional clowns than obscure cartoon and video game trivia.  --Ardonik 22:17, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks.. I think I maybe I will move the main page to Bongo, Bongo the Clown, as he seems to be best noted for that, than for being an artist... and most of my info on him relates better to clowning and related subjects.

There is a tradition in clowning that a clown never appears halfway, that is, the clown and the performer do not publically associate with each other, would never appear half in and half out of costume, or break character while in costume... I think of it as the 'Santa Factor' and think it might not be 'honoring the traditions of the craft' to post biographical material other than the performers name, and information which would not tend to dispel the 'willing suspension of disbelief' inherent in a clown's performance... and put all the other info under Glenn Any clown wikipedians out there with an opinion on this? Or any suggestionsas to structuring this? I have info for possibly a dozen clown bios, (possibly 4 or 5 articles on clown/circus related subjects as well) and I'd like to do it right the first time rather than fix it later.

QUESTION 2

Before I post the George Voorhees and Terry Teene info, I'd like some input: George Voorhees was hired by a local McDonald's restaurant, before their clown spokesman, 'Ronald McDonald' existed. George and Terry Teene (aka Clownzo) created a clown persona, complete with costume, facial design, and 'clown personality' suitable for the event. This was the _original_ Ronald Mcdonald !

Subsequently, McDonald's 'took over' the character without the permission of and without payment to the 2 clowns who created 'him', and went to the measure of having a court order, enjoining them each jointly and severally from appearing in public as, or using the likeness of or name of the character., the character which was created entirely by Terry and George, and would seem to me to be their sole intellectual property.

In short, one of America's most popular and profitable corporations STOLE their 'spokes-character' from the two of them.

My dilemma: what is the best way to avoid trouble with Mcdonald's? + trouble for wikipedia? Is there any 'safe way' to do this? or would this particular tale best be rendered as "George Voorhees who, with the help of Terry Teene (Clownzo) created the character known as Ronald McDonald..." or just leave this particular tale out altogether?

the world of clowns is fascinating to me, maybe because they are so serious about what seems to the outsider to be 'mere buffonery', and this story of the invention of Ronald McDonald is a prime example of what is, in my understanding of clown custom, an egregious breach of the clown code... which clowns hold as dearly as a knight holds to the code of chivalry.Pedant 03:53, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * The way to avoid legal problems is to document and verify. If you can't find reliable sources to back up a questionable statement, don't write it. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:47, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * thanks Cyrius. I'll hold off on the George Voorhees/Ronald McDonald story until I can scan some papers.
 * I've added the George Voorhees /Ronald McDonald material that I have personal knowlege of, or have seen documentation, for going for a very neutral stating of the minimum bare facts. I've eliminated any reference to the character having been 'stolen'. Also omitted details of any court rulings, except that the is enjoined from performing as RM... I'm not confidentof gathering all the legal stuff together,if I miss one piece of that it could be the important one.Pedant 04:54, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I don't think we should be bound to (nor that we should) respect information presentation traditions of cultural institutions, any more than, say, any mention of Mohammad should have (pbuh) (peace be unto him) appended to it out of respect for Islamic tradition. In other words, I think the no-half-clown convention is one we should ignore. Improv 20:26, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I somewhat agree, but I am going with this compromise: On any clown page, I will typically try to keep the clown info and the performer's info separate.  This whole clown project will take quite sometime, I have a about a peck of papers packed in a box, and it's all loose notes and clippings and photos, from the last 25 years or so.

I had intended to write a book, but I'm not growing younger.Pedant 04:54, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Glenn / Glenn NoLastName
I moved the page to Glenn, as the NoLastName reference seems to be more of an alias. I chose Glenn over Bongo for the reason that it is less prone to ambiguity, and that are there are 2 other clowns that I am aware of that use some form of the name bongo.

typically, though, if the character is more well known than the performer,I'll put the article under the monicker rather than the performer's name. does this sound correct?Pedant 04:54, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Eh. I still prefer some qualification (like Glenn Harding Englert, Glenn (clown), or Glenn (actor)), but I understand your concerns about the clown code.  As we add articles on other clowns named Bongo, the original Bongo page will become a disambig page, so you'll have to qualify this particular 'Bongo the Clown' in a way that won't conflict with the others.  One way to do this is keep the page at Glenn, and have the link from the Bongo page read thus:

There are three professional clowns named Bongo: * Bongo the Clown of Southern California, a founding member of the North Valley Clown Alley , * Bongo the Clown of Anytown, USA, and * Bongo the Clown, jester of the Mesopotamian highlands.

 * At some point, I'm afraid you'll have to mention their real names. This is, in the end, an encyclopedia!  --Ardonik 07:51, 2004 Aug 6 (UTC)
 * Yes,of course, I will always include the name real name, for now I'm adopting the convention of using the better known of the 2 names as the article title only. I don't see a real problem with name conflicts as there is almost always at least a small difference in names, due to 'The Code', and anticipating that it was more likely that I have 3 Bongos than that I have 3 Glenns with no lastname, I chose the glenn route.

Gnu License vs The Code
Finally, there is one last issue I could use some advice on. I know that everything on wikipedia is "put into the public domain". Also that clowns adhere to 'the code', no clown's face or costume may be copied...  the dilemma being would publishing a picture of a clown's clown face put that clown face in the public domain, for anyone to use as a clown face, or would that only apply to the actual image itself?

whew, it's been a long day.Pedant 04:54, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC) If "the code" mandates that a clown's real face never be associated with the clown, then why not upload a picture of him in makeup under ? --Ardonik 07:40, 2004 Aug 6 (UTC)
 * Not "public domain," but rather, we prefer that any multimedia uploaded to the Wikipedia be released under a license that is compatible with the GFDL. (Public domain is one such license, if you can call it that.)  Generally, I've observed that pictures of people not published with express permission are usually classified as fair use when uploaded to the Wikipedia, but I think that is rather because the images themselves are copyrighted rather than because a person's face is somehow restricted.  So, if you took the image, you could release it into the public domain (with the  tag), or, if you didn't, you'd have to convince the image's copyright holder to release the image under a GFDL-comatible license before uploading.  I am, of course, not a lawyer, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

theres no copyright issue, I will own or have permission to post ANYTHING I post, but the question was maybe poorly phrased.

 * Assuming the image is owned by me,
 * and assuming it is a clown face
 * and that the face ITSELF is 'protected intellectual property'
 * and that mere public display of the face does not void the intellectual property...

in that case would displaying it on wikipedia under the gnu license impact that right? My sense is that the answer is 'no', not if a pic of a coca-cola bottle doesn't detract from Coke's rights, given permission to post it.

>>>'If "the code" mandates that a clown's real face never be associated with the clown ' as understand it, that would be all right but not a pic with the clown in costume and no face, or face and ordinary clothes...although these days clown drag seems almost more normal than what a lot of people wear with a straight face... anyway the issue could be easily solved in that case by only showing the face part of the picture.Pedant 20:48, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

away a while
I'll be on a shoot the next 5 days... of course I'm voting keep this, meanwhile I'm going to think about how to structure this best. ...and work on something for fun... checkout Art carand see if you have anything to add. Art Car pics would be great!

Eusebius of Vercelli

Eusebius of Vercelli (c. 2 March 283 – 1 August 371) was a bishop from Sardinia and is counted a saint. Along with Athanasius, he affirmed the divinity of Jesus against Arianism.

Biography
Eusebius was born in Sardinia, in 283. After his father's martyrdom, he was taken to Rome by his mother, where he later became a lector. He became the first bishop in Vercelli (in northern Italy), probably sometime in the early- to mid-340s. According to a letter of Ambrose to the congregation in Vercelli two decades after Eusebius' death, the local leaders recognized his piety and thus elected him rather than local candidates (Epistola lxiii, Ad Vercellenses). Inspired by St Athanasius's Life of St Anthony, he founded a priestly community in Vercelli that resembled a monastic community. This coenobium, in turn, inspired others such as Gaudentius of Novara, Eustasius of Aosta, and Maximus of Turin. He was the first bishop to live in common with the clergy, devoting his best energies to form them in piety and zeal. For this reason, the Canons Regular of St. Augustine honour him along with Augustine as their founder.

In 354, Pope Liberius asked Eusebius to join Bishop Lucifer of Cagliari in carrying a request to the Emperor Constantius II at Milan, pleading for the emperor to convoke a council to end the dissensions over the status of Athanasius of Alexandria and the matter of Arianism. The synod was held in Milan in 355. Eusebius attended part of the council, but refused to condemn Athanasius and so was exiled, first to Scythopolis in Syria, under the watchful eye of the Arian bishop Patrophilus, whom Eusebius calls his jailer, then to Cappadocia, and lastly to the Thebaid, in Upper Egypt. Several letters surrounding the council written to or by Eusebius still survive, as do two letters written by him during his exile.

In the latter place, Eusebius was dragged through the streets and persecuted in many ways but never gave up the Catholic faith. Upon the accession of Julian, the exiled bishops were free to return to their sees. Eusebius passed through Alexandria and there attended Athanasius' synod of 362 which confirmed the divinity of the Holy Ghost and the orthodox doctrine concerning the Incarnation. The synod also agreed both to deal mildly with the repentant bishops who had signed Arianizing creeds under pressure and to impose severe penalties upon the leaders of several of the Arianizing factions.

While still on his way home, Eusebius took the synod's decisions to Antioch and hoped to reconcile the schism there. The church was divided between adherents of Eustathius of Antioch, who had been deposed and exiled by the Arians in 331, and those of the Meletians. Since Meletius' election in 361 was brought about chiefly by the Arians, the Eustathians would not recognize him, although he solemnly proclaimed his orthodox faith after his episcopal consecration. The Alexandrian synod had desired that Eusebius should reconcile the Eustathians with Bishop Meletius, by purging his election of whatever might have been irregular in it, but Eusebius found that Lucifer of Cagliari had also passed that way, and had unilaterally consecrated Paulinus, the leader of the Eustathians, as Bishop of Antioch.

Unable to reconcile the factions, he continued towards home, visiting other churches along the way in the interest of promulgating and enforcing the orthodox faith. Once back in Vercelli in 363, he continued to be a leader with Hilary of Poitiers in defeating Arianism in the Western Church, and was one of the chief opponents of the Arian bishop Auxentius of Milan. He died in 370 or 371.

Although in the Middle Ages he was sometimes referred to as a martyr, this was more to honour the sufferings he endured in standing up for his faith. Later legends of his martyrdom have no historical basis. The Roman Catholic Church celebrates his feast on 2 August. His former feast day of 16 December roughly coincided with his elevation as bishop. His current feast day roughly coincides with the anniversary of his death.Vercelli Cathedral is dedicated to him.

In a General Audience in October 2007, Pope Benedict XVI observed, "Therefore, Pastors, Eusebius said, must urge the faithful not to consider the cities of the world as their permanent dwelling place but to seek the future city, the definitive heavenly Jerusalem. This 'eschatological reserve' enables Pastors and faithful to preserve the proper scale of values without ever submitting to the fashions of the moment and the unjust claims of the current political power. The authentic scale of values – Eusebius' whole life seems to say – does not come from emperors of the past or of today but from Jesus Christ,..."

Works

 * Three short letters of Eusebius are printed in Migne, Pat.Lat., XII, 947-54 and X, 713-14.
 * Jerome (Of Famous Men, c. lvi, and Epistle lxi, n. 2) ascribes to him a Latin translation of a commentary on the Psalms, written originally in Greek by Eusebius of Caesarea; but this work has been lost.
 * In the cathedral at Vercelli is preserved the Codex Vercellensis, the earliest manuscript of the old Latin Gospels ("Codex a"), which was believed to have been written by Eusebius, though now scholars tend to doubt it.
 * Krüger (Lucifer, Bischof von Calaris, Leipzig, 1886, 118–30) ascribes to Eusebius a baptismal oration by Caspari (Quellen sur Geschichte des Taufsymbols, Christiania, 1869, II, 132-40).
 * The confession of faith "Des. Trinitate confessio", P.L., XII, 959–968, sometimes ascribed to Eusebius, is spurious.

Talk:Qawasameh tribe

I moved Qawasameh here and removed the generic information to leave in a new article at that title. There's presumably more we can write about that family than some members also being memers of Hamas. A significant part of what prompted this was a Google search where all mentions of a variant of that name were from Wikipedia coverage of the Hamas link - that's unlikely to be a neutral view of the tribe of 10,000 even if many members support Hamas.
