Talk:Caribana

J'ouvert origins
J'ouvert originates from Grenada, but the article credits Trinidad for starting J'ouvert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.116.59.140 (talk) 04:45, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear Caribana Festival Contributors,
I am pleased to announce the start of a new Wiki website specifically for Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It is being operated under GFDL licence and a thread of this article has just started there. We are trying to maintain completeness and integrity of the original article and also referencing it. Please take a look and send us your comments on how we can improve. GTAWiki.ca

Caribana is taking place right now. It would be nice if some Wikipedians in Toronto can go down the street and take a picture or two for this page .... -- 199.71.174.100 20:29, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

There is also a Caribana celebration in Barbuda. And this article needs to not focus on Canada -- either split into separate articles by country, or make a general article covering all of them. Tuf-Kat 18:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I added a disambiguation page to clear some of the confusion. Should the Caribana page not go diretly to that page? What about external links? Nmacpherson 00:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Name change of Caribana?
I'm in Boston, so word hasn't reached here yet via the Caribbean community, but is it true that this year Caribana has been renamed the "Toronto Caribbean Festival?" And the Caribbean Cultural Committee's name changed to the Festival Management Committee??? source: Toronto Star- CaribDigita 22:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Problems as a result of?...
What about any talk about more of the problems with the event? Isn't there usually one death or more each year as a result of the festivities?

This statement is absolutely untrue. On average there is no more crime associated with this event than there is with any other large scale event in the city. It is clear from this statement that this person has never attend the parade.

It is not a statement, simply a question. There is no need to attempt to anwser a quaestion with such a snide attitude

 * Baseless comment: See this article from the Globe and Mail.  And feel free to skip to the last 3 paragraphs which read.

Caribana ends on a family note

--New organizers call fete most successful, although founders of festival dispute attendance claims http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20060808.CARIBANA08/TPStory/TPNational/Ontario/

[ . . . ] Festival organizers said they were pleased with the performance of the Toronto Police Service, which had more officers at events this year.

"They are not there as enforcers, they are there are community police people ensuring that people are safe," Mr. Halstead said.

"We've had absolutely no serious concerns," said Staff Sergeant Frank Besenthal, who spent the weekend attending Caribana events in an official capacity. "No injuries, no fights, no arguments." CaribDigita 23:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Caribbean Website
I added 2 websites that are valuable source for caribbean carnivals around the world, not solely based on Toronto Caribbean Carnival.

I have added material that was deleted, which wasnt promotional or advertisement and was a netural piece of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SMCKINNON (talk • contribs) 21:14, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Move to Caribana

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved -- JHunterJ (talk) 19:39, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto → Caribana – Since Caribana currently redirects here, this should be moved to that page. Except for sponsers and PR people, nobody anywhere ever refers to this festival as the "Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto", they call it "Caribana". Irregardless of the trademark dispute affecting the festival name change, this should be at the WP:COMMONNAME by which it is referred to, not the business/sponsered name it goes by on formal files. -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  01:31, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Comment: see also same renaming issue at Talk:History of Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto (1967–1971). -- P199, 19:46, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Support as per nom and WP:COMMONNAME. Maybe in the future if the Caribana name falls in disuse, then it could be reconsidered (but without sponsor name that no one uses in normal speech). -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 18:07, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Neturalabity of Information
There was nothing that I noticed that went against Wikipedia Policy. It was neutral information in my opinion that the user has posted. There is nothing I see that needs to be cleaned up since Information is valid, truthful and has been confirmed by sources.65.94.206.167 (talk) 16:23, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Caribana → Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto – Request via OTRS. User plans to create article at this name for the"official" event. They would also like this page moved as they say it is creating confusion, and they feel this event is deliberately intimidating them. -- Mdann 52   talk to me!  21:04, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Survey

 * Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with  or  , then sign your comment with  . Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

 * Strong oppose - We don't need to include the sponser in the name, and it is still widely known as Caribana in Toronto, despite the stupid trademark dispute. OTRS is for media, so if this "person" feels intimidated, they can come edit here like everybody else is free to. This covers the "official" event. -  Floydian  τ ¢  21:38, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose seems like adding advertising for not reason. As there is no article on this alternate topic the OTRS refers to, and no information provided about what it is, there's nothing to compare it to to actually assess what this other Caribana is. -- 76.65.129.222 (talk) 06:51, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Caribana → Toronto Caribbean Carnival – Rather than a unilateral move, I think a discussion should be held with regards to moving this article to the official name of the festival. I feel it should stay at the title that most people identify with the celebration, but I think the community should decide. -  Floydian  τ ¢ 21:56, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Oppose. As per WP:CRITERIA and WP:COMMONNAME, the title should be Caribana. Even though it hasn't been part of its official name for a decade, it's still used in the news and even academic writing. I've never even heard it referred to as the Toronto Caribbean Carnival at all. Thiqq (talk) 22:34, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Antipope Adalbert

Adalbert (or Albert) was elected pope of the Catholic Church in February 1101 and served for 105 days. He was a candidate of the Roman party opposed to Pope Paschal II and is regarded today as an antipope. Prior to his election he was created a cardinal by the antipope Clement III. He was captured by partisans of Paschal II and forced to live out his days as a monk.

Cardinal
The date of Adalbert's birth is unknown, but he was from the town of Atella in southern Italy. He was an early supporter of Clement III, who rewarded him with the suburbicarian diocese of Silva Candida. He was among the twelve cardinals of Clement III who gathered in the Lateran Palace to underwrite a papal letter on 4 November 1084.

Adalbert can be traced at Rome throughout Clement's pontificate. He was by the antipope's side when Clement issued a privilege on 8 January 1089. On 7 August 1098 he was one of a group of prelates who presided over a conciliabulum convoked by Clement. The assembly condemned all the "old and new" heresies of the monk Hildebrand, that is, Pope Gregory VII. It also issued an summons to the "schismatics", the followers of Gregory's successor, Urban II, enjoining them to be present in Rome on 1 November. Adalbert's name is atop the list of signatories of this letter, an indication of his importance in the curia of Clement III.

When Clement's successor, Theodoric, was captured by his opponents in February 1101, Adalbert was elected to succeed him.

Antipope
The circumstances of Adalbert's election are difficult to ascertain. It took place in the basilica of Santi Apostoli. According to the German chroniclers Frutolf of Michelsberg and Ekkehard of Aura, the Emperor Henry IV intervened to secure Adalbert's nomination, although sources nearer in space and time to events do not mention the emperor. Although the papal electors believed they were acting in the interests of the empire, Henry IV is not known to have had any contact with Adalbert. The Annales Romani, the richest source of information on Adalbert's pontificate, states simply that he was elected by that part of the clergy and people of Rome who had sided with Clement III.

It is clear that Adalbert was elected, consecrated and enthroned within days of Theodoric's capture in February 1101. Modern historians have often erroneously dated his election to 1102. The speed with which he was elected indicates that the pro-Imperial Clementine party in Rome was still well organized at the time. Among his known supporters were Romano, a cardinal who had taken part in the conciliabulum of 1098, and Romano's nephew, Giovanni Oddoline. Adalbert retained his baptismal name as pope. A pallium was made for Adalbert, although it could not be laid on Saint Peter's tomb, because the Clementine faction did not control it.

Adalbert's first public appearance drew a large crowd and rapidly degenerated into unrest. The situation eventually got so bad that he was forced to take refuge in the basilica of San Marcello al Corso under the protection of Romano and Giovanni Oddoline. Many clergy who tried to reach the church were beaten and stripped naked by the mob. Paschal II then bribed Giovanni to hand the antipope over. Adalbert was stripped of his pallium and handed over to Paschal's forces. His pontificate had lasted 105 days. He was led behind a horse (as a sign of contempt) to the Lateran Palace, where Paschal was residing. He was then imprisoned in a tower. The Annales Romani and the biography of Paschal in the Liber pontificalis agree that the acceptance of the bribe and the antipope's imprisonment took place in the space of one day.

Adalbert was eventually sent to the Benedictine monastery of San Lorenzo in Aversa, where he spent the rest of his life. The date of his death and the place of burial are not known. In 1105, the pro-Imperial party elected Maginulf as Sylvester IV in opposition to Paschal, but he was no more successful than his predecessors for he too lacked imperial support.

Joseph Chaikin

Joseph Chaikin (September 16, 1935 – June 22, 2003) was an American theatre director, actor, playwright, and pedagogue.

Early life and education
The youngest of five children, Chaikin was born to a poor Jewish family living in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. At the age of six, he was struck with rheumatic fever, and he continued to suffer from resulting heart complications throughout his life. At the age of ten, he was sent to the National Children's Cardiac Hospital in Florida. It was during this period of isolation he began to organize theater games with other children. After two years in Florida, his health improved, and he was returned to his family, who had moved to Des Moines, Iowa, where his father had taken a job teaching.

Chaikin briefly attended Drake University in Iowa, and then returned to New York to begin a career in theater, studying with various acting coaches, while struggling to survive working a variety of jobs. He appeared as a figurant at the Metropolitan Opera, and gradually began to be cast in legitimate stage roles, going on to work with The Living Theatre before founding in 1963 The Open Theater a theater co-operative that progressed from a closed experimental laboratory to a performance ensemble.

Career
Open Theater allowed Chaikin and his colleagues the space to experiment with unconventional and organic drama techniques. They embraced dance and musical performance practices and encouraged actors to be more expressive in the body. When asked in a 1999 interview why he was compelled to start Open Theater, Chaikin responded, "I’m not crazy about naturalism on stage. An actor is an interpretive artist. They can take their talent further. I wanted them to stretch, be creative."

The Open Theatre's most famous and critically acclaimed production, The Serpent, was developed largely from the actors' own experiences, using the Bible as text, but incorporating current events, such as the violence of the 1960s. An Open Theatre exercise by Jean-Claude van Itallie, "Interview," became part of the play America Hurrah, and Chaikin directed the "Interview" section when the play opened at the Pocket Theatre in 1966. In 1969 Open Theatre performed Endgame by Samuel Beckett, with Chaikin playing the role of Hamm and Peter Maloney as Clov, at the Cite Universitaire, Paris, and in 1970 at the Grasslands Penitentiary, a fulfillment of Chaikin's desire to experiment with audiences who would be fundamentally and culturally different from cosmopolitan audiences.

In 1970-71 Open Theatre performed Terminal by Susan Yankowitz, touring the production internationally—including at the Shiraz Arts Festival in Iran (1971)--as well as to many maximum and minimum security prisons in the eastern U.S. and Canada. The Open Theater operated for about ten years. Chaikin closed the Open Theatre in 1973 because he said it was in danger of becoming an institution. Although it achieved much critical success, Chaikin said: "I have rarely known a case where a critic's response to actors, directors or writers has expanded or encouraged their talent- I have known cases where by panning or praising, the critic has crushed or discouraged creative inspiration".

In 1977, Chaikin formed an experimental workshop company called The Winter Project, whose members included Ronnie Gilbert, Corey Fischer, Robbie McCauley, Mark Samuels, Robert Montgomery, Christopher McCann and Will Patton, as well as core members of the previous Open Theatre, among others. In the Winter Project, Chaikin proposed and participated in explorations of the boundary between life and death, the actor as storyteller, listening, found dialogue and more.

His production of The Dybbuk at the Public Theater in 1977-78 was, to some extent, influenced by some of these researches. Chaikin had a close working relationship with Sam Shepard and they co-wrote the plays Tongues and Savage/Love, both of which premiered at San Francisco's Magic Theatre. They were commissioned to write When The World Was Green for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, later collaborating to write The War in Heaven. Chaikin was an expert on Samuel Beckett.

Chaikin adapted Texts for Nothing with Steven Kent who directed him in a solo show based on the material which performed at the Public Theater in New York, at the Roundhouse Theatre in London, the American Center in Paris, and in Toronto. Chaikin directed a number of Beckett's plays, including Endgame at the Manhattan Theatre Club and Happy Days'' at Cherry Lane Theater.

Awards and honors

 * Chaikin received six Obie Awards, including one for Lifetime Achievement, and two Guggenheim Fellowships.
 * His book The Presence of The Actor was first published in 1972 by Theatre Communications Group, and a second edition followed in 1991. Based on his experiments with actors, the book includes exemplar notes, photographs, and exercises from Open Theatre productions, and records Chaikin's ideas about theater as a tool for social transformation.
 * In 2010, he was inducted, posthumously, into the American Theater Hall of Fame.

Personal life
In 1984, Chaikin suffered a stroke during his third open-heart surgery, which left him with partial aphasia. Following this, several writers, including Jean-Claude van Itallie, Susan Yankowitz, and Sam Shepard, wrote plays specifically for Chaikin to perform and direct, including The War in Heaven (by Chaikin and Shepard ), which was directed by Steven Kent. Chaikin performed the piece in San Diego, Atlanta, and Parma, Italy. Samuel Beckett's last poem, "What Is the Word?", was written for and dedicated to Chaikin.

Chaikin was a lifelong teacher of acting and directing, and lived most of his adult life in New York's West Village, at Westbeth Artists Community. His sisters included the children's writer Miriam Chaikin, and Shami Chaikin, an actor.

National Wine Centre of Australia

The National Wine Centre of Australia (commonly the "Wine Centre") is a public exhibition building about winemaking and its industry in South Australia, opened in 2001. It contains an interactive permanent exhibition of winemaking, introducing visitors to the technology, varieties and styles of wine. It also has a wine tasting area, giving visitors the opportunity to taste and compare wines from different areas of Australia.

The Wine Centre is situated at the eastern end of North Terrace, Adelaide in the east parklands and adjacent to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. The building designed by Cox Grieve Gillett uses building materials to reflect items used in making wine. The exterior of the building looks like a section of a wine barrel. Outside the building are rows of grapevines, showing seven different varieties of grapes to curious visitors who normally would not have access to a vineyard to see the differences for themselves.

History
Its development by the Olsen Liberal State Government was shrouded in controversy and it was labelled as a white elephant by the Opposition. It eventually opened on 6 October 2001 after enabling legislation created the concept in the National Wine Centre Act (1997). After a number of problems with funding, management and profitability, the Wine Centre operation was given to the University of Adelaide on 12 September 2003 on a 40-year lease. It now offers some of the university's oenology courses, as well as the public face of the wine industry in Australia.

Canada Games

The Canada Games (Jeux du Canada) is a multi-sport event held every two years, alternating between the Canada Winter Games and the Canada Summer Games. They represent the highest level of national competition for Canadian athletes. Two separate programs are organized in order to cover the seasons of summer and winter: the Canada Summer Games (CSG) and the Canada Winter Games (CWG). Athlete age eligibility rules vary. The host cities have not been chosen for the games after 2025 but the provinces through 2035 have been selected. St. John's, Newfoundland will host the 2025 Canada Summer Games at the Aquarena, which is currently undergoing renovations in preparation for the event.

The first Canada Winter Games was the 1967 Canada Winter Games, marking the beginning of this important sporting event for Canadians. It has since become an integral part of celebrating Canadian talent for young amateur Canadian athletes focused on winter sports. The most recent Canada Winter Games was the PEI 2023 Canada Winter Games which ran from February 18 – March 5, 2023 in the province of Prince Edward Island. The next Canada Winter Games, the 2027 Canada Winter Games, will be hosted in Quebec City, Quebec. The dates are to be announced.

The first Canada Summer Games was the 1969 Canada Summer Games. The most recent Canada Summer Games was the 2022 Canada Summer Games which took place August 6–21, 2022 in the Niagara Region. The next Canada Summer Games, the 2025 Canada Summer Games, will be hosted in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. St. John's Newfoundland and Labrador was named the Host Society of the 2025 Canada Summer Games as of April 22, 2021.

History
The Games were first held in 1967 in Quebec City as part of Canada's Centennial celebrations. For the first time in Canada's history, 1,800 athletes from 10 provinces and two territories gathered to compete in 15 sports. Since 1967, over 75,000 athletes have participated in the Games. The Games have been hosted in every province at least once since their inception in Quebec City during Canada’s Centennial in 1967. Journalist Eddie MacCabe wrote a history book for the 25th anniversary of the Canada Games in 1992.

Sports
Over the course of the history of the Canada Games, a variety of sports have been added and dropped at various points within the Summer Games and Winter Games programs. The winter games include some sports not associated with winter.

Former sports
Fencing was previously a Winter Games sport before it was moved to Summer program for the Sherbrooke 2013 games and then removed altogether following those games. BMX, field hockey, and water polo were formerly in the Summer program as well.

Returning sports
Fencing made its return to the Games during the 2023 Canada Winter Games in Prince Edward Island. Its last appearance had been during the 2013 Canada Summer Games.

Box lacrosse made its return to the Summer Games during the 2022 Canada Summer Games. It was the first time box lacrosse had been featured since the 1985 Canada Games.

Organization
The games are governed by the Canada Games Council, a private, non-profit organization. As the Games move from one host community to the next, the Council provides the continuity, leadership and support to Host Societies in key areas such as sport technical, organizational planning, ceremonies and protocol, marketing and sponsorship. In addition, the Canada Games Council ensures effective long-term partnerships with national sport organizations, governments and the corporate sector. The Canada Games Council is a well-established, national organization that fosters on-going partnerships with organizations at the municipal, provincial and national levels.

Host Society
The individual games are run by the local Host Society, a non-profit private organization that is established 2–4 years prior to the event. The Host Society functions in accordance with an agreement between the Canada Games Council, the government of Canada, the government of the province or territory and the government of the municipality. The Canada Games Council maintains and secures long-term partnership agreements with governments, corporations and national sport organizations.

Funding
Funding for the games comes from the several levels of government together with donations and corporate sponsorships. A considerable portion of the work during the games is performed by local volunteers.

Hosts
The host cities have not been chosen for the games after 2025, but the provinces through 2037 have.

USCG seagoing buoy tender

The USCG seagoing buoy tender is a type of United States Coast Guard Cutter used to service aids to navigation throughout the waters of the United States and wherever American shipping interests require. The U.S. Coast Guard has maintained a fleet of seagoing buoy tenders dating back to its origins in the U.S. Lighthouse Service (USLHS). These ships originally were designated with the hull classification symbol WAGL, but in 1965 the designation was changed to WLB, which is still used today.

Ex U.S. Army mine planters
Six U.S. Army mine planters built 1917–1919 were transferred to the U.S. Light House Service during a reduction in the Army in the early 1920s. These, after absorption into the U.S. Coast Guard, became that service's "Speedwell class":

 * Acacia (WAGL-200), ex USAMP Gen. John P. Story (shelled & sunk by a German U-boat on 15 March 1942)
 * Ilex (WAGL-222), ex USAMP Brig. Gen. Edmund Kirby
 * Lotus (WAGL-229), ex USAMP Col. Albert Todd
 * Lupine (WAGL-230), ex USAMP Gen. Wallace F. Randolph
 * Speedwell (WAGL-245), ex USAMP Col. John V. White
 * Spruce (WAGL-246), ex USAMP Col. Garland N. Whistler

The ships were 172 ft in length, 32 ft beam with 11 ft draft displacing 1,130 tons. Early mine planters, at first termed "torpedo planters," had been modeled after USLHS vessels which had similar requirements for handling heavy loads alongside the vessels so that mine planters were easily converted to buoy work.

Ex U.S. Army Chimo-class 188' mine planters 1942–1943
Built from 1942 to 1943 by Marietta Manufacturing Company, Point Pleasant, West Virginia, these 188 ft U.S Army mine planters were designed for diesel engines but low pressure steam plants were installed instead. Six of the vessels were transferred to the U.S. Navy as the Chimo class. Five vessels were later transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard and refitted as the Jonquil class of buoy tenders were after World War II.
 * USAMP General Henry Knox (MP-1) (USS Picket (ACM-8) then USCGC Willow (WAGL / WLB-332))
 * USAMP Colonel Henry J. Hunt (MP-2) (USS Bastion (ACM 6) then USCGC Jonquil (WAGL / WLB-330))
 * USAMP Colonel George Armistead (MP-3) (USS Barbican (ACM-5) then USCGC Ivy (WLB-329/WAGL-329))
 * USAMP 1st Lt. William G. Sylvester (MP-5) (USS Obstructor (ACM 7) then USCGC Heather (WABL / WLB-331))
 * USAMP Colonel John Storey (MP-8) (USS Barricade (ACM 3) then USCGC Magnolia (WAGL / WLB-328))

180' – class ships
Two classes of purpose-built, rather than refitted mine planters, Coast Guard seagoing buoy tenders have been produced. The first was the 180 ft-class cutters, which were 180 ft long. Thirty-nine of these vessels were built from 1942–1944. All but one were constructed in the shipyards of Duluth, Minnesota. The 180 fleet, many of which served for more than 50 years, all went through different mid-life modifications that essentially resulted in three different classes of ship. All of the 180s are now retired and have been replaced with the 225 ft Juniper-class cutters. The last 180-foot cutter, USCGC Acacia (WLB-406), was decommissioned on 7 June 2006.

225' – Juniper-class ships

The Juniper class ships, launched in the late 1990s, are the second class of purpose-built Coast Guard seagoing buoy tenders. They are designed and operated as multi-mission platforms. While the 180s also performed other Coast Guard missions, they lacked the speed, communications, navigation and maneuverability of the new Junipers. Today, the Junipers conduct almost as much law enforcement as aid to navigation work; they are also outfitted to handle oil spill recovery, search and rescue, homeland security, and some ice breaking operations. The Juniper class uses Dynamic Positioning which allows maintenance of the vessel's position within a 10 m circle in winds of up to 30 kn and waves of up to 8 ft.

User:Michael
These entries are all likely the banned user:Michael. He edits from AOL, so blocking will not do any good. Deal with these by watching and reverting until he gives up.

Michael is creating user accounts like User:Hephaestos' father to harass User:Hephaestos and is making suspicious edits to music-related articles. Guanaco 21:05, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

User:66.87.145.165

This user (who has always used the same IP) as been vandalising International Star Registry repeatedly for about one month now, deleting every mention of criticism and essentially trying to turn the article into advertising. Also wrote on my talk page twice, first making vague threats, then trying to insult me, more or less.

I have protected International Star Registry for now, but of course, that can only be a temporary solution; I'd advocate blocking this user (especially since they never contributed anything useful), but I'd like to hear other's opinion on this first. A 24-hour block is unlikely to be effective since the user only seems to edit every couple of days at most. -- Schnee 20:05, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

This is the latest proxy from the person who continually posts the useless entertainment-related substubs discussed further down the page. The modus operandi is the same each time, but they come in too slowly to be a bot. Once posted, the party never returns to flesh the stubs out, leaving a mess for others to clean up. Nor does he/she respond to any attempts at contact. I'm proposing an exception to the rules that any and all of these substubs be deleted on sight without delay. - Lucky 6.9 02:06, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * With all due respect, I am convinced that this is more than a problem and is on its way to becoming an epidemic. The stubs are almost totally without content, virtually useless and other users are starting to become irritated by the whole affair as well.  I can't see the logic in keeping these for the sake of simply having an entry...and not all of these get fixed.  Several are still languishing and others aren't much more than wikified.

Cos there's a definite difference in behaviour depending on the Ip you look at. --bodnotbod 17:20, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)

Making extensive changes to YYYY in music, YYYY in sports, YYYY in film (where YYYY is a year). Changing lots of dates, for instance in 1984 in music and Michelle Branch, he insists on repeatedly changing her birth year from 1983 to 1984, although, for instance her official autobiography and many other sources say 1983.

Also insists on creating pages with lowercase last names, like Summer altice, which others then have to move to the uppercase version.

There are far too many changes for me to research, and this is not my area of interest anyway. I don't know if he is mixing legitimate changes with vandalism, or is just seriously misguided, or what.

This user has been repeatedly adding an off-topic paragraph to Anti-American sentiment, and before that was making other contested edits as well. I would ordinarily consider this to be a dispute over content, but he's taken to "disguising" his edits with misleading edit summaries or by immediately making "legitimate" edits afterward to make reversion more difficult. Also changes IPs after every edit and won't respond on the article's talk page. Seems to have an anti-Canadian and anti-immigration agenda. Bryan 01:13, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I have found him very responsive, and he picked up on wiki markup fairly quickly, then Wikipedia intro style, and even took the responsibility to circle back around and clean up his early entries. He has greatly expanded/improved Wikipedia coverage of US soap operas, and has turned Another World from a minimalist stub I made from the original contribution ("The emmy-winning NBC soap Another World air from 1964 to 1999 for 35 years.") into one of the most comprehensive TV series articles on Wikipedia.

(I forgot to sign this. It was me: WMC) Not quite sure if this is the right place... DPFJr appears to be somewhat obsessive (creating Relative motion theory, a close copy A Theory of Everything, another Wave Structure of Matter Theory and probably more). I listed some on Vfd; he persisently removed the Vfd header. The he blanked my user page once under his own name and repeatedly as 209.247.222.31, or ...28. I have tried to remonstrate on his talk page with no success.

This IP address is always going back and changing information about Soka Gakkai International and related pages to remove references to Soka being considered controversial or a 'cult' by some. I feel like the article text does a good job of representing both sides of the argument (ie. being NPOV), but s/he seems to just be interest in whitewashing the whole situation. This has happened repeatedly over a long stretch of time, all from the same IP. Does the community agree that this is worthy of a ban by wikipedia standards? --Carl 08:55, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * He or she did it again. The summary said, "Don't know what NPOV means. Corrected facts and removed editorializing," but in actuality, all they removed was the statement that some people believe that Soka Gakkai is a cult. Well, go to http://www.buddhajones.com/ and you'll see that it's true. Some people think it's a cult. Does everyone? No. Does wikipedia say it's a cult? No. Someone should really ban this user, since they only spout propaganda for Soka Gakkai, instead of helping with anything else.

Antipope Sylvester IV

Sylvester IV, born Maginulf, was a claimant to the Papacy from 1105 to 1111 in opposition to Paschal II. A priest before his election, he was probably a native of Rome. He had the backing of the Roman militia and initially of the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV, who later forced him to abdicate. Today he is regarded as an antipope.

Election
Before his election as pope, Maginulf was the archpriest of Sant'Angelo in Pescheria, which suggests that he was a native of Rome. He cannot be linked to the line of antipopes—Clement III, Theodoric and Adalbert—who opposed the Reformist papacy from 1080 to 1101. While the elections of Theodoric and Adalbert were relatively minor affairs, the election of Maginulf signalled a crisis in the pontificate of Pope Paschal II and was widely noted in contemporary chronicles: Annales Ceccanenses, Annales Leodienses, the Annalista Saxo, Ekkehard of Aura, Sigebert of Gembloux.

Members of the Roman aristocracy gathered in the Pantheon, then the church of Santa Maria Rotonda, and elected Maginulf in opposition to Paschal II in November 1105. The Annales Romani records the noblemen who supported his election: Stefano Oddone and his brothers, Nicola Cencio Baroncio and his son Pietro, Romano di Romano Baroncio and his brothers and nephews, and Enrico di Sant'Eustachio and his sons. This is the earliest record of Stefano Oddone, called the Norman, in the sources.

Margrave Werner of Ancona, in a letter to the Emperor Henry IV, describes his election as beginning with some clergy who were dissatisfied with Paschal's simoniacal favoritism of the Colonna and Pierleoni families. This, coupled with the involvement of the Roman aristocracy in his election, suggests that the motivations were less ideological than rooted in local politics. According to Werner, there were meetings in Rome attended by bishops and cardinals, after which Maginulf, a man of learning and upright character, was elected pope. The head of the Roman militia, Berto, was required to force Maginulf to accept the honour. According to Paschal's biography in the Liber pontificalis, Maginulf's election was the work of the Devil. In a letter, Paschal cites his failure to give sufficient "gifts" to the Romans for the election of Maginulf.

Pontificate
After his election Maginulf took the papal name of Sylvester IV. This was a deliberate ploy to garner imperial sympathy, since it hearkened back to Pope Sylvester II, the great ally of the Emperor Otto III a hundred years earlier. The conspirators who had elevated the new pope sent word to Margrave Werner, requesting imperial support. Werner marched on Rome with imperial (German) troops and took possession of the Lateran, forcing Paschal II to flee to Tiber Island according to the Annales Romani, although Paschal addressed a letter from Saint Peter's Basilica. Sylvester IV was consecrated in the Lateran Basilica on 18 November 1105. The following day a battle broke out in the streets of Rome. There were two pitched battles: one near the Lateran Basilica and another in the Circus Maximus. Both equites (cavalry) and pedites (infantryman) were involved in the fighting. Sylvester's infantry are said to have chased Paschal's cavalry throughout Santa Maria Nova, leaving over sixty horses dead.

Sylvester IV soon ran short on funds to pay his soldiers and left Rome for Tivoli with a bodyguard before finally settling in Osimo under the protection of Margrave Werner. The next five years are completely unknown. Sylvester only comes again into view in the spring of 1111, when the German king Henry V used him as a pawn in his negotiations with Paschal. Henry, who wanted Paschal to crown him emperor, forced Sylvester to renounce the Papacy on 12 or 13 April 1111.

Sylvester was allowed to live out the rest of his life in Osimo under the protection of Werner. According to the Annales Romani, Werner acted out of pity, but there was probably some political calculation involved in willingness to control an ex-pope.

Professor Ratbaggy

Professor Ratbaggy is a sometime four-piece band based in Melbourne, Australia. Sometimes thought of as a side-project of iconic Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly, the band is in fact its own entity: Kelly is one of the four members (song writing generally shared).

The band's name is derived from the 1960s Australian TV character "Professor Ratbaggy", who was a bumbling but kind-hearted scientist, a comical character, performed by Ernie Carroll on GTV-9 on Melbourne television.

Steve Hadley, Bruce Haymes and Peter Luscombe would frequently play as The Casuals, as well as being members of Kelly's regular band.

Professor Ratbaggy's songs are often instrumental and purely groove-based with reggae, dub and funk influences.

Professor Ratbaggy members and Shane O'Mara provided the original music for Lantana (2001) and are featured on the EMI soundtrack of the same name. The band's song, "Love Letter" (from their self-titled 1999 album) was used on ABC-TV series Fireflies (2004) together with songs by Paul Kelly (alone and with other bands) and by other artists.

With Kelly often busy with his solo career and work in film and TV composition, Professor Ratbaggy's live shows have all but ceased and their recorded output remains low; this is not to say that the concept has died and there remains a strong possibility of further playing and/or recording.

Personnel

 * Steve Hadley – bass, backing vocals
 * Bruce Haymes – keyboards, organ, backing vocals
 * Paul Kelly – guitar, vocals
 * Peter Luscombe – drums

Soundtrack albums

 * Lantana (2001)

EP

 * Coma (1999)
