Talk:Mitsubishi Eclipse

In the works
The Mitsubishi Eclipse page is currently under heavy construction. What we've got already is OK, but could be extended significantly. Here is the list of what's in the works and what still needs improvements.

These are currently in the process of being written. Please don't duplicate any effort already being expended.
 * 1G section with loads of information. The status on this will be updated by 20040901. --Milkmandan 22:37, 2004 Aug 29 (UTC) Forgot to strike this one out a few months ago.  Whoops. --Milkmandan 16:52, 2004 Dec 29 (UTC)

How about some references to Buschur Racing of Ohio who has greatly contributed to the 1g, 2g 4G63 improvement, modification, etc?

On the horizon
These are sections that need work, but which are currently not under active development. Although 3G has the curb weight, 2G does not. 21:05, 9 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.157.129.237 (talk)
 * 2G section update (I'm willing to do this, but will finish the 1G section first and take another look then --Milkmandan 09:05, 2004 Aug 16 (UTC))
 * 3G section update
 * 4G section update--currently, we say Details of the fourth generation Eclipse were revealed during late 2003 and 2004. What were these details?  Also, I've only seen very preliminary information regarding the 4G--are we jumping the gun on this?
 * Market section that discusses how the Eclipse fits into the Mitsu product tree, and what types of competetion it's seen.

Problems
The only real question I've got at the moment is how to deal with the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser. Presently, there isn't much of a problem as both the Talon and Eclipse pages are pretty skimpy. Soon, we need to identify where the information goes and how it's organized. I've got three ideas--what are your thoughts on these? Surely, there's a better way to handle this?

 * 1) Lump everything into one big Talon/Eclipse/Laser page and redirect in.  This is probably going to overload the page and won't do justice to the autonomous 2000-2004 Eclipse models.
 * 2) Keep the Eclipse page as the main stem and use the Talon and Laser pages to mention model differences.  The problem I see is that the Talon and Laser were just as important as the 1G Eclipse.
 * 3) Spin each generation (1G, 2G, etc.) off into its own subpage and group all of the models under there (e.g., 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon/Plymouth Laser).  I see this as the best organization option, but it makes a mess of the links.

I've looked through the WikiProject Automobiles pages and haven't found anything discussing exactly this issue--hopefully I'm missing something?

Any input on this would be great. Thanks --Milkmandan 09:05, 2004 Aug 16 (UTC)

 * I like the third option of splitting the articles based on generations. Some cars such as the Corvette and Camaro have separate articles dedicated to each generation. I would also like to propose a fourth idea: two articles, one covering the two DSM generations of Eclipse/Talon/Laser, and one covering the post-DSM Eclipse. How does that sound? 71.139.184.80 05:23, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, this option has its obvious benefits, as the Plymouth Laser, Eagle Talon and 1G Mitsubishi Eclipse share the platform, any search query should redirect there, whereas the unrelated 2G, 3G, and 4G Eclipse should come under a separate page, with redirect from the main three-car-page. I also didn't see anything on the WikiProject Automobiles pages on this particular issue. Another topic, not directly related: I spotted the mention of the Eagle Talon on the Press-on-Regardless rally page, where no internal link was provided. Before putting in the link there I decided to check the present status of the article, and found it to be in a rather messy state. I have decided to put the link there after this get sorted out. Somebody please sort this out. Sayantan.z28 (talk) 06:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

A 2012 facelift? exist a 2012 version and is ended in 2011?--188.26.89.237 (talk) 18:49, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I like the third option as well, unless you want to create a new page for DSM cars that would only benefit affected models. I think that given the subject of this article, it should just be specific to Eclipses, with references to a DSM page. Vinteron (talk) 18:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Vinteron

 * Merge the articles. 216.179.123.198 (talk) 19:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Leave each individually. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.101.80.14 (talk) 19:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Links
As per the discussion on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Automobiles, I removed a couple of external links. Those remaining all have >1000 forum members and rank in Alexa's top 1m sites for hits. I also tried to correct a couple of grammatical errors in the opening paragraph, but it's still slightly clunky. I'll try and fix this in due course if no-one else does. -- DeLarge 15:41, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

To User:DeLarge, Like I said, you are making assumptions and are embarrassing yourself. I'll be nice and help you out a bit here.

 * 1) What links am I posting that promotes a site? Why do you only remove my links and let the others remain? Based on your definition of promotion, every valid link in wikipedia within any article promotes a site, so you think they should all be removed? Are you biased against the urls I post? Please try to clarify this.

 * 2) I own and maintain a website? Really? Which one? The only site I come close to owning would be a personal page from my ISP and I don't "own" that. What are you basing your information on, the fact that I am a member on 80% of those sites, so I "must" own my own site...? I posted some links so now I "own" them? Please, explain this as well.

 * 3) If social/forum sites are not supposed to be linked to why do you only remove the ones I post and let the others remain? Why not remove ALL the links back to sites that provide social interaction and forums? Perhaps this is because you want to dictate what YOU and only YOU like/prefer?

 * 4) The only club I ever owned was a comic book club about 20 years ago, are you referring to that?

 * I'm reposting the links because they are related to the article and will HELP other people. I will not allow you to dictate what can and can not be posted here. As I said earlier, it's NOT YOUR PAGE.

 * I don't know if I should laugh at you or feel sorry for you.

-- User:68.101.64.76

To User:68.101.64.76, as I already posted on your talk page:

Please read Wikipedia's policies regarding links: Links to normally avoid - 3. "Links that are added to promote a site. See external link spamming." 11. "A website that you own or maintain." 12. "Blogs, social networking sites and forums should generally not be linked to."

Your club is (a) very regional, and therefore of no relevance to anyone from 49 of the 50 US states or Canada; and (b) far too small - it does not rank among Alexa's top 1m websites (and with only 67 registered members as of 12pm EST 2006-05-30, it's unlikely to achieve that ranking any time soon). If every car owners' club with 60+ members were to post links to itself on Wikipedia, the whole site would soon become nothing but a web directory. And Wikipedia is not a web directory. -- DeLarge 23:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

 * No response, but spamming continues. "spam" tag added to User talk:68.101.64.76. -- DeLarge 13:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

To User:DeLarge,

I strongly urge you to cease your ongoing harassment here. If you continue to harass users you will be reported and your account will be banned.

Unfortunately, you do not understand how Wikipedia functions or works. The article in question is NOT yours, never was and never will be.

You do not call the shots here. If you did, you would be the only one with edit access and that is obviously not the case, and for a very good reason.

You have no case against these links or myself. All the assumptions you have made and about me and the links thus far are incorrect and you are only embarrassing yourself.

Have a good day.

 * I've restored my previous comments to prevent confusion. Please note that according to WP:Vandalism, "Deleting the comments of other users from article Talk pages, or deleting entire sections thereof, is generally considered vandalism." When responding or communicating with others, please simply add your comments beneath. -- DeLarge

 * To address your points:
 * I have never claimed ownership of this article, to which I have not contributed, and I do not intend to challenge any content which is added by future editors. I have simply upheld the Wikipedia policies listed above with regards to restricting linkspamming, and I will continue to do so.
 * Please take the time to read How not to be a spammer, especially points #1 & #2:
 * Review your intentions. Wikipedia is not a space for personal promotion or the promotion of products, services, Web sites, fandoms, ideologies, or other memes.
 * Contribute cited text, not bare links. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a link farm. If you have a source to contribute, first contribute some facts that you learned from that source, then cite the source. Don't simply direct readers to another site for the useful facts; add useful facts to the article, then cite the site where you found them.

Thank you, -- DeLarge 23:39, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Edits
Hey guys, I made a few minor edits on the article, mainly about the 4G. I've both a heavily modified 3G and stock 4G, if it helps to add credibility. I'd like to add a couple of links too, to 3G community message boards which, just like DSMtuners, hosts a myriad of technical information and discussion about the platform, and specifically the 6G7x engines found in the 3G and 4G.

How much detail can we, or should we, pump into this page?

--Slippercream 08:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Feel free to add content, however because Wikipedia is aimed at a general, non-expert readership, they recommend staying focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary details. (See What is a good article?) Stuff like year-to-year changes of the colour of the lights in the dash or similar trivia are regarded as unsuitable; not that you'd know it from reading some of the car articles on here...

 * As per WP:External links, discussion forums are listed at number 10 as "Links to be avoided", and are also not considered reliable sources as there is no editorial oversight or third-party fact-checking. --DeLarge 11:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Films/games
DeLarge hyrecently removed the Films/Games section of the article. I feel that this section is relevant to the article and is not "fancrufty". I decided to add the section back in, and add this section to the talk page incase further discussion is required. Johaen 22:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Link
I will be adding www.club3g.com to the External Links section. I have found this site to be a vast supply of information for the mitsubishi eclipse. It appears the site has over 10,000 members and is used worldwide which I think meets the criteria discussed here. Thanks

68.202.127.95 01:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of external links. We're using the dmoz template on this page now -- if you think the site is worthy you can add it there and it'll be linked indirectly. In the meantime I've removed it, along with the inappropriate spamming at 2 Fast 2 Furious, Chrysler D platform and Mitsubishi 6G7 engine. --DeLarge 11:06, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Named after the Race Horse Eclipse???
That's a bit of a stretch. A car that comes from "The Land of The Rising Sun" is more then likely named after the solar eclipse. The car follows the space theme... The car that it replaced was the Starion....

I think that line about the race horse should be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)
 * Why remove it, when it's what Mitsubishi Motors themselves claim (see citation now added)? --DeLarge 00:35, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm adding an attribution. "According to Mitsubishi, the car was named after..." A statement is not evidence of the truth of the matter asserted. It's highly unlikely that Mitsubishi didn't carefully weigh every possible connotation of this model name before selecting it. If we don't include an attribution, we're just regurgitating marketing statements. Wykily (talk) 19:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Good Find! I stand Corrected! Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

also called?
The 1g/2g Eclipse isn't also called Talon or Laser. They're related but different cars, if only superficially different (badges and bumpers, etc). Much in the same way a Camaro isn't a Firebird and not interchangeable in name- despite being very similar. An Eclipse is an Eclipse, a Talon is an Talon, Laser = Laser. I wouldn't say, "I drive a Laser but you can call it a Talon or Eclipse." (If I owned one) No, it's a Laser built on the same platform and mechanically identical to the Talon and Eclipse.

It seems that table is a premade template so I didn't mess with it. Is there a way to change it to related cars or something and make the explaination in the main content?Zerotta (talk) 17:18, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I also don't want to see the Eclipse and Talon articles merged. They're different vehicles based on the same platform, not the same thing. EznorbYar (talk) 05:08, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Just to be clear... "GST"
I have fixed the names of the first gen eclipse trim levels. There was no such car as an Eclipse "GS-T" in 90-94. Though they are commonly referred to that way, the correct name of the car is the "GS Turbo". The trim "GS-T" was not introduced until 1995 and was discontinued in 1999. — ASPENSTI — TALK — CONTRIBUTIONS  03:25, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Class Action Suit
Is there going to be any mention of the Class Action Lawsuit being settled in California right now regarding their clear coat\paint delamination issues? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.219.133.1 (talk) 00:51, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

1G Eclipse non-stock wheels
The red 1G Eclipse is wearing 2G wheels...is there a way to get a picture with stock 1G wheels? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.89.150.120 (talk) 12:29, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Source?
Reading on the 3rd generation Eclipse, a small paragraph states information without a source. It states "From 2003 to 2005, the Eclipse Spyder V6 was sold in a right-hand drive version in Japan. As this generation no longer complied with Japanese government dimension regulations it was regarded as an expensive luxury car due to additional annual taxes from Japanese consumers. When the larger Mitsubishi GTO was discontinued in 2001, this generation became the only sports car Mitsubishi offered to Japanese consumers." It does not have a source, and I'm curious as to where the information came from. I have been unable to find any evidence that this is true.

24.162.133.234 (talk) 02:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

TRIM for 4th GEN
I made 2 changes

The correct trim levels for the 4th gen are GS, GT, and SE. There isn't a "GS sport" package, the SE is the special edition and isn't even listed. The SE has a front chin spoiler and large rear spoiler with SE decals on the side of the car, 18inch wheels and special floor mats, the SE also offers single color interior rather than two tone. The SE is the only trim level to offer the aero kit, I removed where it said it was available for all models. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.167.93.85 (talk) 13:26, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

The genus was named in 1803. It is disjunctly distributed in eastern Asia and eastern North America extending to Mexico. Ampelopsis is primarily found in mountainous regions in temperate zones with some species in montane forests at mid-altitudes in subtropical to tropical regions. Ampelopsis glandulosa is a popular garden plant and an invasive weed.

Ecology
Ampelopsis species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including Bucculatrix quinquenotella and Sphecodina abbottii.

Fossil record
Fossil seeds from the early Miocene of Ampelopsis ludwigii and Ampelopsis rotundata, have been found in the Czech part of the Zittau Basin. The fossil species Ampelopsis malvaeformis was rather common in northern Italy in the early and middle Pliocene but seems to disappear at the middle and late Pliocene boundary.

Anacyclus

Anacyclus is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae described by Linnaeus in 1753. Annuals or herbaceous perennials, they are cultivated for their fern-like leaves on creeping, radiating stems and daisy-like flowers. They are frost-hardy but may tolerate winter temperatures below -5 C if grown in well-drained soil.

Anacyclus species are native to stony or sandy slopes in southern and western Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

The roots of A. pyrethrum are known as pellitory in Europe and akrakara in India. The root is imported mainly from Mediterranean countries. Because of its powerful irritant action, in Ayurvedic medicine the root is considered a stimulant and is often an ingredient of aphrodisiacs and nervous stimulants used in facial palsy, paralysis, hemiplegia, fibromyalgia, etc.

Pernell Whitaker

Pernell Whitaker Sr. (January 2, 1964 – July 14, 2019) was an American professional boxer who competed from 1984 to 2001, and subsequently worked as a boxing trainer. He was a four-weight world champion, having won titles at lightweight, light welterweight, welterweight, and light middleweight; the undisputed lightweight title; and the lineal lightweight and welterweight titles. In 1989, Whitaker was named Fighter of the Year by The Ring magazine and the Boxing Writers Association of America. He currently holds the longest unified lightweight championship reign in boxing history at six title defenses. Whitaker is generally regarded as one of the greatest defensive boxers of all-time.

As an amateur, Whitaker won a silver medal in the lightweight division at the 1982 World Championships, followed by gold at the 1983 Pan American Games and 1984 Olympics. After his retirement in 2001, Whitaker returned to the sport as a trainer. In 2002, The Ring ranked him tenth in their list of "The 100 Greatest Fighters of the Last 80 Years". In 2006, Whitaker was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, in his first year of eligibility.

Amateur career
Whitaker had an extensive amateur boxing career, having started at the age of nine. He had 214 amateur fights, winning 201, 91 of them by knockouts, though he said that he had up to 500 amateur fights. He lost to two-time Olympic Gold medalist Ángel Herrera Vera at the final of the World Championships 1982 but beat him four other times, notably in the final of the Pan American Games 1983 in Caracas. He crowned his amateur career with an Olympic gold medal in 1984, beating Luis Ortiz to obtain it.

Lightweight
In just his eleventh and twelfth pro bouts, Whitaker defeated former world champion Alfredo Layne on December 20, 1986 and former WBA and lineal Super Featherweight and WBC Light Welterweight title holder Roger Mayweather on March 28, 1987. Whitaker won both bouts before hometown crowds at the Norfolk Scope, less than a mile from where he lived as a child in a Norfolk housing project. Whitaker would fight nine times in the Scope arena during his career.

On March 12, 1988, he challenged José Luis Ramírez for the WBC Lightweight title in Levallois, France. He suffered his first pro defeat when the judges awarded a split decision to Ramirez. This was a highly controversial decision, considered one of the worst ever by many analysts, as they felt that Whitaker easily won.

Undisputed lightweight champion
Whitaker trudged on, winning a decision over Greg Haugen for the IBF Lightweight title on February 18, 1989, becoming the first boxer to knock Haugen down by sending him to the mat in the sixth round. He then added the vacant WBC & The Ring belts by avenging his loss to Ramirez on August 20.

Now a champion, Whitaker proceeded to dominate boxing's middle divisions over the first half of the 1990s. In 1990, he defended his Lightweight title against future champion Freddie Pendleton and Super Featherweight Champion Azumah Nelson of Ghana. On August 11, 1990, he knocked out Juan Nazario in one round to win the WBA and vacant lineal lightweight titles, becoming the first Undisputed Lightweight Champion since Roberto Durán. His highlight of 1991 was a win over Jorge Páez and a fight against European Champion Poli Díaz that ended in another win.

IBF light welterweight champion
In 1992, he began his ascent in weight, winning the IBF light welterweight title from Colombian puncher Rafael Pineda on July 18.

WBC and lineal welterweight champion
On March 6, 1993, he decisioned Buddy McGirt to become the Lineal and WBC Welterweight Champion.

Whitaker vs. Chávez
Whitaker was gaining momentum and boxing experts and fans felt that he needed to win against the pound for pound best boxer in the world: Julio César Chávez. The two met in a welterweight superfight simply named "The Fight" on September 10, 1993 in San Antonio, Texas. In the eyes of many of the spectators, Whitaker outboxed the Mexican legend. While one judge did score the fight in favor of Whitaker (115-113), the other 2 judges saw an even bout (115-115), resulting in a majority draw. Sports Illustrated post-fight edition had "ROBBED!" across the cover and they believed that Whitaker had won no less than 9 of the 12 rounds in the fight. The now-defunct “Bert Sugar's Boxing Illustrated" magazine had a heading on the cover of its post-fight edition telling readers not to buy the issue if they really believed "The Fight" was a draw.

Whitaker continued on to dominate for the next few years, defending his welterweight title against Santos Cardona on April 9, 1994 and in a rematch against McGirt on October 1, 1994.

WBA super welterweight champion
In his next fight on March 4, 1995, Whitaker added Julio César Vásquez's WBA super welterweight title to his collection. Early on, Vasquez was the aggressor, and scored a flash knockdown on Whitaker in the 4th round; but Whitaker settled in & used his accuracy and defense to take over and outpoint Vasquez en route to a unanimous decision win. This was a history making fight for Whitaker, as he became only the fourth fighter in history - joining Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Roberto Durán - to have won a legitimate world title in four different weight classes. However, he chose to move back to welterweight.

Return to welterweight
Whitaker successfully defended his WBC belt against Scotland's Gary Jacobs on August 26, 1995. In January, 1997, Whitaker put his title on the line against Cuban fighter Diosbelys Hurtado. Hurtado gave Whitaker all he could handle and then some. Hurtado had Whitaker down on all the judges scorecards going into the 11th round: Hurtado scored flash knockdowns against Whitaker in rounds 1 and 6, and Whitaker had a point deducted in the 9th round for hitting Hurtado behind the head. But midway in the 11th round, Whitaker landed a left hook that hurt Hurtado and, in a rare display of aggression and power, unleashed a barrage of left-handed power shots, pummeling Hurtado into the ropes, knocking Hurtado out and almost completely out of the ring before referee Arthur Mercante Jr. stopped the fight at the 1:52 mark, giving Whitaker the come-from-behind TKO win. The win set up a showdown with undefeated 1992 Olympic gold medalist Oscar De La Hoya.

Whitaker vs. De La Hoya
He met Oscar De La Hoya on April 12, 1997, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Whitaker, defending his WBC championship and the mythical status as the best boxer in the world, pound for pound, succeeded in making De La Hoya look bad through his crafty defense, but he was unable to mount a sufficient offense to convince the judges. Whitaker was awarded an official knockdown in the 9th round and, according to CompuBox stats, outlanded De La Hoya in overall punches and connect percentage, using the jab as his primary weapon; but De La Hoya threw and landed almost twice as many power punches and had a slightly higher power punch connect percentage than Whitaker and showed more aggression in the fight, which may have been the key factors in De La Hoya winning by a disputed unanimous decision. At the end of the fight, the judges' scores were 111-115, 110-116, 110-116. The fight was much closer than what the scorecards showed, and many observers felt that Whitaker won the fight. It was another controversial decision against Whitaker, but it wasn't seen as a blatant robbery like the Ramirez or Chavez decisions.

For his part, De La Hoya wasn't too pleased with his own performance against Whitaker and had hinted at a possible rematch to prove that he could do better against him. But Bob Arum, De La Hoya's promoter at that time, decided against it.

Whitaker's next bout was against Russian-born fighter Andrey Pestryayev in a world title elimination fight, where the winner would earn an automatic #1 contender spot for the WBA Welterweight crown, held at the time by Ike Quartey. Whitaker originally won the fight, but the win was nullified & changed to a No Decision after he failed a post-fight drug test. Whitaker was suspended for six months, but the commission lifted the suspension after he agreed to random testing and his title bout with Quartey was to proceed as scheduled, however, the bout was cancelled after Whitaker tested positive for a second time.

Whitaker vs. Trinidad
On February 20, 1999, Whitaker suffered his first convincing defeat against the much bigger, much fresher Félix Trinidad, gamely taking the Puerto Rican the distance in an attempt to win Trinidad's IBF welterweight title. The fight began with both boxers displaying aggressive styles, which included excessive pushing. In the following rounds, both boxers used their jabs most of the time, with Trinidad gaining an advantage when Whitaker attempted to attack inside, eventually scoring a knockdown in round two. In the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds the fighters exchanged combinations. Later in the fight, both boxers fell to the canvas in what were ruled as "accidental slips." In the seventh round, Whitaker displayed more offense, trading power punches with Trinidad, but the champion retained control of the fight's tempo during the eight, ninth and tenth rounds. In the last round, Whitaker, with a badly swollen right eye, displayed a purely defensive stance, avoiding his opponent throughout the round while Trinidad continued on the offensive until the fight concluded. The judges gave the champion scores of 117–111, 118–109 and 118–109.

His last fight came on April 27, 2001, against journeyman Carlos Bojorquez. Whitaker, the former lightweight, entered the ring at 155 pounds. He broke his clavicle in round four and was forced to retire; at the time of the stoppage Whitaker was trailing in all the judges' scorecards by 28-29. Following this fight, Whitaker officially announced his retirement. He finished his professional career with an official record of 40-4-1 (17 knockouts).

In 2002, The Ring ranked Whitaker as the 10th Greatest Fighter of the Last 80 Years.

On December 7, 2006, Whitaker was inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame along with contemporaries Roberto Durán and Ricardo López. They were all elected in their first year of eligibility.

Boxing style
A southpaw, Whitaker was known for his outstanding defensive skills and for being a strong counterpuncher. He was not a particularly hard puncher or knockout artist, but applied a consistent offense while being extremely elusive and difficult for his opponents to hit with a solid punch.

Career as a trainer
In December 2005 Whitaker became a boxing trainer in his home state of Virginia. While the decline of speed and agility pushed him into retirement, his knowledge of the ring and competitive boxing's components led him to seek out up-and-coming boxers to train to fight in the manner in which he did.

His first fighter, Dorin Spivey fought matches in 2006. He later trained young prospect Joel Julio.

Whitaker was also the trainer for heavyweight Calvin Brock who, as recently as November 2006, fought for the IBF and IBO titles against Wladimir Klitschko, wherein Brock was knocked out in the 7th round.

Whitaker also trained former IBF world champion Paul Spadafora between 2009 and 2010 for 3 fights in which Spadafora won all three.

In 2010, Whitaker was inducted into the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame, honoring those who have contributed to sports in southeastern Virginia.

Whitaker also became the head trainer of former undisputed welterweight champion Zab Judah, who defeated Kaizer Mabuza in March 2011 to win the vacant IBF light welterweight title.

Personal life
Pernell Whitaker was born in Norfolk, Virginia on January 2, 1964, the son of Raymond Whitaker Sr. and his wife, Novella. He had two brothers and four sisters.

Pernell married Rovanda Anthony on December 21, 1985 in the boxing ring at the Virginia Beach Pavilion Convention Center. The couple later divorced. They had four children together. Pernell also had a daughter from a prior relationship.

Pernell graduated from Booker T. Washington High School in 1982 and later received an honorary bachelor's degree from Norfolk State University. His humble beginnings started in Youngs Park Housing Community where he was inspired to start his boxing career. Outside of the ring, Sweet Pea served his community and the youth in everything that he did. He sponsored many events at Norfolk State University and spent countless hours training youth at boxing camps and gyms. He also remained active in Norfolk and spoke at city council meetings on behalf of the residents in support of community improvements.

Pernell had personal struggles and in June 2002 was convicted of cocaine possession after a judge found he violated the terms of a previous sentence by overdosing on cocaine in March. In February 2014, Pernell made national headlines after he evicted his mother, Novella Whitaker, out of the house he purchased for her shortly after he turned pro. Apparently, back taxes were owed on the house and Pernell said that neither his mother nor his siblings, who also stayed in the house, were doing anything to help keep the house afloat financially. Pernell's lawyers said that he is not making the same kind of money as a trainer that he was as a boxer, and needed to sell off the home to satisfy the tax debt owed in order to prevent the property from being seized and put into foreclosure. Outside of the Virginia courtroom where the eviction proceedings took place, he called the ruling in his favor "a beautiful moment."

Death
At about 10 p.m. on July 14, 2019, Whitaker was crossing the street in Virginia Beach, at the intersection of Northampton Boulevard and Baker Road, when he was struck and killed by a vehicle. He was 55. An autopsy stated that the cause of Whitaker's death was "multiple blunt force trauma."

Second-countable space

In topology, a second-countable space, also called a completely separable space, is a topological space whose topology has a countable base. More explicitly, a topological space $$T$$ is second-countable if there exists some countable collection $$\mathcal{U} = \{U_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$$ of open subsets of $$T$$ such that any open subset of $$T$$ can be written as a union of elements of some subfamily of $$\mathcal{U}$$. A second-countable space is said to satisfy the second axiom of countability. Like other countability axioms, the property of being second-countable restricts the number of open sets that a space can have.

Many "well-behaved" spaces in mathematics are second-countable. For example, Euclidean space (Rn) with its usual topology is second-countable. Although the usual base of open balls is uncountable, one can restrict to the collection of all open balls with rational radii and whose centers have rational coordinates. This restricted set is countable and still forms a basis.

Properties
Second-countability is a stronger notion than first-countability. A space is first-countable if each point has a countable local base. Given a base for a topology and a point x, the set of all basis sets containing x forms a local base at x. Thus, if one has a countable base for a topology then one has a countable local base at every point, and hence every second-countable space is also a first-countable space. However any uncountable discrete space is first-countable but not second-countable.

Second-countability implies certain other topological properties. Specifically, every second-countable space is separable (has a countable dense subset) and Lindelöf (every open cover has a countable subcover). The reverse implications do not hold. For example, the lower limit topology on the real line is first-countable, separable, and Lindelöf, but not second-countable. For metric spaces, however, the properties of being second-countable, separable, and Lindelöf are all equivalent. Therefore, the lower limit topology on the real line is not metrizable.

In second-countable spaces—as in metric spaces—compactness, sequential compactness, and countable compactness are all equivalent properties.

Urysohn's metrization theorem states that every second-countable, Hausdorff regular space is metrizable. It follows that every such space is completely normal as well as paracompact. Second-countability is therefore a rather restrictive property on a topological space, requiring only a separation axiom to imply metrizability.

Other properties

 * A continuous, open image of a second-countable space is second-countable.
 * Every subspace of a second-countable space is second-countable.
 * Quotients of second-countable spaces need not be second-countable; however, open quotients always are.
 * Any countable product of a second-countable space is second-countable, although uncountable products need not be.
 * The topology of a second-countable T1 space has cardinality less than or equal to c (the cardinality of the continuum).
 * Any base for a second-countable space has a countable subfamily which is still a base.
 * Every collection of disjoint open sets in a second-countable space is countable.

Examples

 * Consider the disjoint countable union $$ X = [0,1] \cup [2,3] \cup [4,5] \cup \dots \cup [2k, 2k+1] \cup \dotsb$$. Define an equivalence relation and a quotient topology by identifying the left ends of the intervals - that is, identify 0 ~ 2 ~ 4 ~ … ~ 2k and so on. X is second-countable, as a countable union of second-countable spaces. However, X/~ is not first-countable at the coset of the identified points and hence also not second-countable.
 * The above space is not homeomorphic to the same set of equivalence classes endowed with the obvious metric: i.e. regular Euclidean distance for two points in the same interval, and the sum of the distances to the left hand point for points not in the same interval -- yielding a strictly coarser topology than the above space. It is a separable metric space (consider the set of rational points), and hence is second-countable.
 * The long line is not second-countable, but is first-countable.

User:Benc/Feature requests

The following are feature requests that I've thought up and submitted to the MediaWiki page on SourceForge.net. I've a bachelor's in Computer Science and know PHP and SQL, so I really should come up with implementations sometime...

Allow anchors

 * Feature request submitted on 05:52, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Note: Angela pointed out that this can be accomplished with   , so I downgraded the priority of this request. It would still be nice to have a non-kludge solution.

Please add a wiki tag that functions like an HTML anchor   . I'm not sure what it should look like, though. Perhaps one of:

 *
 *
 *  __ANCHOR__ Whatever
 *  __ANCHOR__ Whatever

There is not a great deal of practical use for this tag, because section names are automatically made into anchors. However, non-section name anchors do have their uses.

For example, in the English Wikipedia's community pages, the Deletion policy page is lengthy, so each policy is a row in a table. Converting the table to subsections would make the page way to long. However, it would be very useful to be able to link directly to each aspect of the policy, in order to help newer wiki users understand it.

Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy

Automatic citation link

 * Feature request submitted on 05:52, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

A link in the footer (down by the copyrights, timestamp, and disclaimers) labeled "Cite this article|page|whatever" be very useful. It make the life easier for students using wikis as sources for their papers. Ease of citation is a good way to ensure that wikis actually get cited, which will generate more traffic, which will generate better content, and so on.

The way I envision this feature working is that when a user clicks the "Cite this article" link, a small pop-up window would be generated, containing a proper citation for the current revision of the article in a number of popular formats (e.g., APA, MLA, MHRA).

Counts by namespace for Special:Whatlinkshere

 * Feature request submitted on 09:06, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Note: I've written a Python script for this until the feature gets implemented server-side.

Please add a count by namespace (treating redirects as their own namespace) for the Special:Whatlinkshere page. Namespaces without any pages linking here would not be listed. Example:

< Ambrosia The following pages link to here: Count by namespace:
 * 12 from Main
 * 1 from Talk
 * 2 from User
 * 2 from Wikipedia
 * 1 redirect
 * 18 total

Filter self-contributions in watchlist

 * Feature request submitted on 05:52, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Note: this feature request had already been submitted by User:VampWillow a couple months ago; I simply seconded it.

Please add an option to user settings to hide self-contributions on that user's watchlist. Users know what pages they have edited themselves ("my contributions"); listing self-contributions on Special:Watchlist adds unnecessary clutter.

Generate "You have new messages" for user talk subpages

 * Feature request submitted on 02:02, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Note: if this feature is implemented, my doorbell would work. :-)

Currently, the "You have new messages" is generated only when a user's talk page is updated. It would be cleaner if this message was generated whenever *any* of the user's talk subpages was updated, too.

This would prevent vandalism on archived pages. It would also allow users to more easily maintain more than one user talk page if they desired. For example, one for thank yous, one for older-but-ongoing discussions, and one for general comments.

Not yet submitted
These feature requests are currently half-baked. I'm still working on them. :-) Of course, if you have any suggestions, please hit up my talk page.

Alt-click on a link skips straight to edit page
Good idea, I think. Just have to word it and submit.

Change how blanking pages works
Also a good idea, I think. Just have to word it and submit.

When a user blanks a page, they often think they're deleting it. New functionality:
 * If it's the user's own User or User talk namespace, delete the page (after confirmation).
 * Disallow blanking; when a user tries to blank a page send them a namespace-specific message. (e.g., in article namespace, refer to vfd) Actual messages could be stored in MediaWiki namespace.
 * Silently allow blanking (default)

Color disambig/redirect links differently
Still thinking about this one. This would help stomp out links to disambig pages. It would have to be a user setting as many would find it annoying. Also, disambigs are a creation of the Wikipedia itself, not its software, right? Hmm...

Shift-click "Go" and "Search" to open up in new window
Good idea, I think. Could this be done with a custom javascript file, though?

Category inclusion/exclusion
Directives that would go on the category page to help make categories more useable: or:
 * __EXCLUDE__ (namespaces)
 * __INCLUDE__ (namespaces)

Common use: to prevent templates that contain from being listed in the category.
 * __EXCLUDE__ (Template)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bmoviebandit1

Template:Bmoviebandit1 was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was ambiguous. Failing to acheive a clear consensus to delete, this template is kept. However, I note that the Bmovie Bandit phenomenon seems to have died down and this template may no longer be necessary. It is no longer in use on any article. I also note that a majority of the keep the template votes came early in the discussion while a majority of the delete the template votes came late in the discussion. If after a reasonable period (perhaps another month) the issue remains calm and the template remains unused, this template may be renominated. Rossami 23:36, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Ignoring all the discussion about the Bmovie Bandit's actual work, my best interpretation of the votes about the template are:

This template is being tagged on factual stubs, saying "Since the entries are factual, current policy dictates that these substubs must stay." Indeed, if they are factual, they should stay, and shouldn't have this unnecessary template tagged on. Gzornenplatz 05:54, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC) This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like other '/delete' pages is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion or on the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
 * Keep, and delete "Since the entries are factual, current policy dictates that these substubs must stay.", since I disagree with that contention. RickK 06:03, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Not to worry. I'll be happy to drop the line about the factual entries.  I truly do not understand why anyone would allow these "entries" to stay.  I was simply following the suggestion of another user.  I realize I wrote the stub, but I'd like to vote to keep with revision. - Lucky 6.9 06:11, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: Done.  In fact, I noticed that there were some other edits to the template, so there must be others who agree. - Lucky 6.9 06:14, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Now you just made it worse. The articles are factual (if you disagree, please point out what is not factual on Staci Greason), and we do not delete factual articles on valid topics (if you don't think we should have any article on Staci Greason on grounds of insufficient notability, feel free to put it on VfD), so the sentence you removed was the only one that made sense. I don't understand what your whole problem with those stubs is. Contrary to what you seem to think, no user is ever obligated to expand any stub. You can ignore them. But instead you want to delete factual material. Gzornenplatz 06:40, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Gzornenplatz must like Sneaky Vandalism.  --TIB 06:37, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Please explain what is "sneaky vandalism" about Staci Greason. Gzornenplatz 06:40, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * stars on Days of Our Lives from 1989 to 1992. - an impossible contradiction. RickK 07:06, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * It says starred, and already did so when this template was added. Gzornenplatz 07:13, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Bad grammar is an indicator of ignorance or stupidity, not vandalism. -Sean Curtin 01:39, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * In response to Gzornenplat'z sneaky vandalism question: Vandalism... at the bottom. --TIB 08:50, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * I didn't notice that you said 'about staci greason'. Still, the fact that the diff between the first and second edits point to botvandalism. --TIB 08:53, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * If anyone can think of a better alternative, or would be interested in nominating themselves to cleanup each of the Bandit substubs that appear, then by all means, vote to delete. In the meantime, I vote to keep this, even if the wording seems a little harsh. Rhymeless 07:03, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * The articles are factual and do not necessitate urgent "cleanup"; like any other article, they can be improved by anyone who wants, but they don't have to. Gzornenplatz 07:12, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Normally I'd agree with you; I'm very much an anti-deletionist; But I can't help but believe that because of the inferior nature of these substubs, they are likely to remain undeveloped for quite some time. Furthermore, having a massive number of distinctly unremarkable substubs, of such inferior quality, reflects poorly on Wikipedia. I'm afraid that merely ignoring these substubs, hoping that someday, a mysterious someone will come and make them useful, and furthermore, that hundreds 'more will not be made in the meantime, is not an option in this circumstance. Rhymeless 07:20, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * You don't have to hope that someone will improve them; they are already useful. You seem to have the misconception that stubs are only placeholders which may prompt others to create useful articles, but are not themselves useful. But even if you knew for sure no one will ever expand the Staci Greason article, it provides the information that she was an actress who starred on Days of Our Lives from 1989 to 1992 - that's better than nothing for someone who seeks information on her, isn't it? How can that reflect worse on Wikipedia than lacking any information on a topic someone might look for? Those who don't look for it won't even see it, other than by clicking on Random page, and if that's a problem the better solution would be to implement a preferences option for a minimum article length for Random pages, and the default value could be high enough to exclude stubs like that. Gzornenplatz 07:41, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm not so sure I really follow you on this. These substubs, are like leaving bricks in the middle of the sidewalk. Sure, you could stand on them, and get a slightly better view, or carry it off and make something better of it. But it's far more likely that somebody will trip over it or kick it into the street, or simply ignore it. It's the same way with these pages. I think it's a bit of a flimsy excuse to say that these substub pages *might* help somebody, when, more than anything, they're simply in the way. Rhymeless 07:56, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * That analogy doesn't hold water. How could the stubs possibly be "in the way" (of what?)? If you don't care for them, just ignore them, they can't harm you. Gzornenplatz 07:59, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * On reflection, no that probably isn't the best analogy I've ever used, although it is 5 AM here. However, I maintain that these pages ARE in the way (if only because they are consuming an inordinant amount of various editors' time) and are detrimental to Wikipedia. I would have more problems with this template, if these substubs were not apparently the product of a single vandal/bot. It is the nature of their appearance, more than their content, that is troublesome, and would require this temporary template. Rhymeless 08:10, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * No editor is obliged to spend any time on those pages. You actually want to delete them or put this template on them - that is spending time. Instead you could just ignore them. How is factual information detrimental to Wikipedia? Gzornenplatz 08:22, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * The "article" said "starred" only after someone else fixed it. Also, anyone who de-contents existing articles and turns them into this sort of nonsense after repeated warnings is a vandal.  So many people have done such terrific work here.  Why should this person be any different?  Why should we allow this kind of nonsense to stay?  It's been suggested that I put these up for deletion on this page...and I've been crucified.  It's been suggested that these be turned into redirects...and others revert them.  Still another user suggested that a template be made because he recognized a real problem...and I find myself defending its inclusion.  I've cleaned up more of these things than I can count...and I just don't want to do it anymore.  I've left this project on three occasions because the frustration I feel over this individual was becoming too much to take.  Now, it is jeopardizing my nomination for administratorship.  Some hobby I've chosen, eh? :^) - Lucky 6.9 07:26, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * So someone fixed it, what's the problem then? Even if the user vandalized other articles, that doesn't mean that every article created by that user is vandalism. Articles like Staci Greason are not "nonsense". This template is nonsense. And if you don't want to clean these articles up, just don't do it. And don't take things personally, no one is crucifying you. Gzornenplatz 07:50, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Your heated demands that this vandal's articles remain would have one wonder if you weren't involved in their creation. RickK 08:27, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Unworthy of comment. Gzornenplatz 08:37, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, strongly. The idea of putting this in an article seems so counter-productive that it's almost painful to see it exists. Either clean up the articles in question, delete them through VfD if their subjects are too obscure, or just ignore them. Everyking 12:00, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. normally on something like this I'd vote delete. But, many wonderful wikipedians have put in much time to fighting the B Movie Bandit in a variety of ways, this is a recent idea, we should see how it works out. If this template can save some amazing contributors a bit of time, then its worth it for sure   — siro  χ  o  13:15, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. The template is absurd. But it only exists because too many people oppose other responses to this "flooding". Flooding is usually counted as vandalism on the web. Some call it denial of service attacks. It means that time and energy spent on the flood prevents normal activities. Ignoring garbage is an option only for those who care nothing about quality. Fixing up litter dropped purposely over and over and over again by someone who won't stop isn't what anyone is here for. If people don't like the template, then argue instead for quick deletion of the articles. Stop claiming that articles that are an embarrassment to Wikipedia should be allowed or that others should fix them up as fast as they come in, that those few who really know the B-movie area should have all their time taken up every day dealing with litter dropped by one editor. Jallan 15:37, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's an embarrassment to Wikipedia to have these articles. Other encyclopedias don't have any articles at all on such subjects; they should be embarrassed. If nobody ever touched one of these after its creation, we'd still be better off than we were when we started, because we'd have a little more info than before. On the other hand, wikifying one of these articles can be done in a matter of seconds. In a few seconds more, one can add a link to IMDb. And so on. But if they are just deleted, we might never get articles on some of these subjects again, and no editors with time to kill would ever come across them to improve them. Everyking 16:31, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. If these bother people so much, why are they looking at them? Revert any vandalism from this person, even hand out 24 hour blocks if it gets to be too much of a problem, but there's no need for a template. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 17:48, 2004 Aug 15 (UTC)
 * I really don't mind if this template is deleted. I thought it was a good idea at the time, and I knew that creating it wouldn't deter this person.  It was intended as a temporary measure to alert users who might not be aware of the problem, and if it's going to cause this much contention, I'd just as soon see it gone.  However, it's easy to take things somewhat personally given the kind of grief and mixed signals I've gotten over this.  I tried from the get-go to reach out to this person with everything from pleading to out-and-out invective.  I tried the "carrot" approach just last week, right up until the time an existing article was de-contented.  Meelar has the right idea.  Let's just block the range from submitting any anonymous entries.  A legitimate user would sign up in a moment, and if the Bandit signed in with a user name, it could be blocked if the mischief continues.  It's also a bit hard to swallow the fact that this numbskull gets a free pass to litter the site while users who try to act for the common good have to fend off attempts to stop the littering, and I'm referring to users other than myself. - Lucky 6.9 19:02, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * By this point I would think that all of the "is it vandalism, can we ban this range, can we use this temple" arguments have taken up more of our users' time than actually fixing these stubs would have. -Sean Curtin 01:39, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree. Many users have already spent a great deal of time on cleaning up, expanding and redirecting these entries and it's become extremely tiresome.  At no time has this person shown the least inclination that they're willing to play by the rules.  I've already fixed a countless number of these things and so have other honest users as indicated, and this hasn't been some sort of knee-jerk reaction to a clueless newbie. - Lucky 6.9 03:08, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * If it's tiresome, stop it. Why do you feel obliged to expand these stubs? We have thousands of stubs - why are these particular ones such a problem for you? Gzornenplatz 08:36, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I apologise for the strong language, but I'm frankly disgusted by those people who insist on keeping these, yet won't spend any of their time cleaning these up or even wikifying them. Rather, they're happy to let these sit, idle, forever, or wait until some other Wikipedian spends their valuable time cleaning them up. Bye bye any form of quality control. This isn't an argument about inclusionism vs deletionism. It's an argument about a vandal who's driving numerous users up the wall. Unless you, yourself are willing to do the work, for gods sake, put up or shut up. Ambi 03:31, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I'd like to cite two recent examples. Another user put this template on the Staci Greason article soon after it was modified with little more than wikis, bold face and a substub template.  Twenty minutes after I left a terse note on an anon user page, the Bandit returned on the same proxy with another substub for a little-known actress named Sharon Leal.  No "B-Movie" template was posted, but the only other contributions were to formatting and not content.  I expanded it a bit.  The point is, no one really wants to expand these things and I don't blame them. - Lucky 6.9 03:49, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I don't think vfd is the place for this discussion; what's being discussed here is essentially policy rather than whether an article should be deleted As to the issue at hand, hanging an ugly sign around somebody's neck seems to me to be a most decidedly un-wiki approach to (not, actually) resolving this type of situation. I agree strongly with Everyking's comments above: we must treat the articles, not the template.  Consider this a delete vote, both for the template and this way of doing things. Jgm 07:07, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * It's an ugly sign that would never have been necessary if this had not been allowed to get to this point. They're not useful contributions, he's not a newbie, and how the heck else would you resolve the situation? Ambi 08:25, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Why the heck are correct facts not useful contributions? Is there any precedent for deleting articles just because they're unwikified or have poor grammar? There's a lot of worse stuff on Cleanup. Why are you singling out those actor stubs? I don't see any "situation" to "resolve". Gzornenplatz 08:36, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * Gzornenplatz, have you actually looked through this user's contributions? I'm not anti-stub, and neither is anyone pushing for the deletion of these. Stubs are good. Sub-sub-stubs are bad. Particularly when they're en masse, every day, for months. And moreover, no one wants to expand them. So either they sit there, one badly written sentence, forever, or someone who didn't want to in the first place takes up some of their time, that could've been spent doing something useful, fixing them up. Ambi 09:51, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Even if they just sit there, they are useful information. They are short stubs, but not too short. Maybe our whole "stub" terminology is a bit unfortunate. There are longer articles which could just as much be described as "stubs" because of all the relevant information that could still be added. On the other hand those actors, precisely because they are not particularly important, don't need much longer treatment. I think short entries, even one-liners, have their legitimate place. If someone has heard the name "Staci Greason" he can look it up and find that she's a soap actress who starred on Days of Our Lives from 1989 to 1992, which may be just enough information. Instead you would rather have his search turn out blank. Gzornenplatz 10:28, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * If you think the current stubs are useless, how exactly is adding an insult-box to each helping? They go from being tiny bits of fact that, should someone stumble across one, might eventually be the basis of an improved article to a tiny bit of fact with a major, somewhat mysterious borderline-personal-attack caveat attached, that nobody is likely to want to mess with.  Jgm 11:57, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * A vote for deletion of this template should be seen as a means of volunteering your services toward fixing the problem with the user/cleaning Bandit entries up. Rhymeless 08:29, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I agree. Ambi 09:51, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Oh piffle to this. A vote to delete template is what it is: a vote not to destroy whatever use these harmless stubs might have by adding an insult to them.  As others have pointed out, there are more useful ways for most folks to spend their time than fixing harmless stubs.  Jgm 11:57, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete the template, keep the articles. Clean-up/VfD/ignore the articles, as appropriate, but they're substubs, not candidates for speedy deletion, as the template says. Compare these articles with Rambot's articles on U.S. towns: they consist of a bit of (some would say "almost useless") information, they can function as a starting point for a useful article; most won't, but those don't actually hurt anyone. Eugene van der Pijll 15:55, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete the template and keep the articles. What harm does it do to keep the articles, even as substubs? I've said this before, but if Wikipedia is headed for the rocks, it certainly isn't because of an excess of factual information. Wikisux 02:03, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think this template reflects much more poorly on wikipedia than any malformed substub ever could.  Yes, I would be perfectly happy to wikify stubs you are unhappy with.  Just have a list of them somewhere and I will occasionally fix a few.  No, I don't consider it a waste of my time.  (Well, no more than any other work I do here) The Steve 20:41, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm also in favor of deleting B-movie substubs but that's an entirely separate discussion. Wile E. Heresiarch 03:53, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Holly Near

Holly Near (born June 6, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, actress, teacher, and activist.

Family
Holly Near was born to Anne and Russell Near in Ukiah, California, United States, and was raised on a ranch in Potter Valley, California.

She has two sisters, Timothy Near and Laurel Near, and a brother, Fred. One of her first cousins is actor Kevin Bacon (their mothers are sisters).

Early years
She was eight years old when she first performed publicly, and she auditioned for Columbia Records when she was ten. She sang in all the high school musicals, talent shows and often was invited to sing at gatherings of local service groups, such as the Soroptimist Club, Lions Club, and Garden Club. Her senior year she played Eliza Doolittle in the Ukiah High School production of My Fair Lady. In the summer Near attended performing arts camps such as Perry-Mansfield in Colorado and Ramblerny Performing Arts where she studied with jazz musicians Phil Woods and his wife, Chan Parker (Parker was married to Woods but retained the name Parker from her earlier, common law marriage to Charlie Parker), and modern dancer/choreographer Joyce Trisler.

After starting high school in 1963, Near began singing with three boys who called themselves the Freedom Singers, a folk group modeled after The Kingston Trio. When Near joined, they began to sound more like The Weavers, with three male voices and one female. Near learned later of the original Freedom Singers who sang as part of the Civil Rights Movement. Unbeknownst to her, Near would soon meet one of the founding members of that group, Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, an artist who would be a great influence for the next 40-plus years. She would also meet and work with the female singer in The Weavers, Ronnie Gilbert.

After high school, Near enrolled in the Theatre Arts program at UCLA; her freshman year she got the lead in the UCLA production of Guys and Dolls playing soprano Sarah Brown. Because Near was trained in a lower range she got nodules on her vocal cords and had to leave the show. She entered in to a long period of silence until her voice healed. After one year, she left UCLA and began to work in film and television as well as with anti-war groups such as Another Mother for Peace.

Career
Near's professional career began in 1969 with a part on the television show The Mod Squad, which was followed by appearances in other shows, such as Room 222, All in the Family, and The Partridge Family. She also appeared in Angel, Angel, Down We Go, Slaughterhouse-Five, and Minnie and Moskowitz. Much later, she had a prominent role in the 1991 film Dogfight.

She was briefly a member of the musical comedy troupe First National Nothing and appeared on the troupe's only album If You Sit Real Still and Hold My Hand, You Will Hear Absolutely Nothing, released in 1970 on Columbia Records.

In 1970, Near was a cast member of the Broadway musical Hair. Following the Kent State shootings in May of that year, the entire cast staged a silent vigil in protest. The song "It Could Have Been Me" (released on A Live Album, 1974) was her response to the shootings. In 1971, she joined the FTA (Free The Army) Tour, an anti-Vietnam War road show of music, comedy, and plays that performed for soldiers, many of whom were resisting war and racism from within the military. The tour was organized by antiwar activist Fred Gardner and actors Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland. Near was only 21 and the youngest member of the troupe.

In 1972, Near founded an independent record label called Redwood Records to produce and promote music by "politically conscious artists from around the world". She was one of the first women to found an independent record company. Near's record company went out of business in the mid-1990s due to financial difficulties.

During her long career in folk and protest music, Near has worked with a wide array of musicians, including Ronnie Gilbert, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Mercedes Sosa, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Meg (Shambhavi) Christian, Cris Williamson, Linda Tillery, Joan Baez, Phil Ochs, Harry Belafonte, and many others, as well as the Chilean exile group Inti-Illimani.

Near wrote an autobiography in the early 1990s titled Fire in the Rain, Singer in the Storm. Later, with her sister Timothy, Near co-wrote a one-woman show based on the stories in the book. The show was presented at The San Jose Rep and in Los Angeles at The Mark Taper Forum, as well as productions in San Francisco and off Broadway in NYC. In April 2004, Near performed at the March for Women's Lives in Washington, DC where she sang "We Are Gentle Angry People" and "Fired Up" a capella.

As of 2019, she has a discography of 29 albums. She is still active as a performer and composer, and she has begun issuing CDs available through her website that include tracks from her out-of-print albums. Her song "Singing For Our Lives" appears in Singing the Living Tradition, the official hymnal of the Unitarian Universalist Association, under the title "We Are A Gentle, Angry People" (Hymn #170). The hymn was performed by Quaker Friends in an episode of the TV series Six Feet Under. In 2015, the same song, credited as "Singing for Our Lives" appeared in the Australian independent film The Lives We Lead, alongside its theme song "I Am Willing", another protest song written by Near.

Near hosted many of the tributes to both Pete Seeger and Ronnie Gilbert, two members of the seminal folk group The Weavers.

Near has been an honored guest at several of the GALA Choruses Festivals, a conference of GLBTQ choirs and choruses. She also appears as a soloist with several of the choruses and many of her songs have been arranged for choral singing.

In 2018, Near released a new recording titled 2018, reflecting on issues including the environment, aging, domestic violence and the unresolved storm damage in Puerto Rico as a result of Hurricane Maria. In October 2018, a documentary film titled Holly Near: Singing for Our Lives made by director Jim Brown premiered at the Mill Valley Film Festival, detailing Near's life and work.

Personal life
As a result of her travels in the Pacific with the FTA show, Near became a feminist, linking international feminism and anti-war activism. In 1976, Near came out as a lesbian and began a three-year relationship with musician Meg Christian. She added LGBT issues to her international peace work as she continued to present social change music around the world and at home. Although Near was one of the most visible artists in the lesbian community, she was also becoming aware that "monogamous" defined her sexuality more than any other title.

Near has been in a relationship with a man since 1994. However, she does not identify as bisexual. When asked why in a 2010 interview by JD Doyle for Queer Music Heritage, she replied,

"I don't know why. Just isn't a handle I relate to. I include human and civil rights in all that I do. I am monogamous. I relate to that term. I am a feminist. If I am with a woman I am a feminist. If I am alone I am a feminist. If I am with a man I am a feminist. And until the one I am with and I part ways, then I am just what I am in that relationship and I don't much think about what I will do next. I focus more on what I bring to that relationship. It is a full-time job being honest one moment at a time, remembering to love, to honor, to respect. It is a practice, a discipline, worthy of every moment. I think my feminism and my ability to love has been highly informed by having had lesbian relationships. The quality of my life has, without question, been elevated. For a brief moment in time I struggled with sexual identity, somewhere in the mid-'80s. Then I realized it was the wrong question for me. That is not to say it is the wrong question for others. It just wasn't important to me. So I haven't really thought much about it since. I am going to sing lesbian love songs and support gay rights no matter what. The rest is public relations."

Near is dedicated to the rights of LGBT communities and continues to work to create a cultural forum for diversity. She writes, "For many, sexual identity and/or gender identity is the primary door through which they walk. It is what politicized them. It is what feeds their emotional and spiritual perspectives. I totally honor this. Even though sexual preference is maybe 5th or 10th on my personal list of priorities now, I will always work for all of us to have self-determination over our bodies, our identities, our relationship choices."

In 2014, Near was diagnosed with breast cancer. With early detection, she had successful surgery and radiation.

Awards and honors
Near has been recognized many times for her work for social change, including honors from the ACLU, the National Lawyers Guild, the National Organization for Women, NARAS, Ms. Magazine (Woman of the Year), and the Legends of Women's Music Award.

In 1989, Near received a Doctorate of Humane Letters from World College West in California.

Near was named among the "1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize".

Near was named as an Honoree for National Women's History Month for 2015.
