Talk:Odo (Star Trek)

Odo & Troi
Was there an episode after "The Muse" that says whether Odo and Troi annulled their sham marriage? ShutterBugTrekker 23:58, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Odo as Curzon?
We need a new picture that shows Odo as he usually appears, and maybe one that shows him in his gelatinous state. I'm not good at all that copyright stuff, so could someone get a more appropriate picture for the article? Citizen Premier 03:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Casablanca, sweetheart
I added the "Casablanca" reference; the page needs all the help it can get. --trekphiler, 23/11/05

Rank
Even though Odo was one of the shapeshifters that was sent to explore the universe, was he still Considered a "founder" of the Dominion. In the DS9 episode "A Time to Stand", Wayoun treats him very much as he would a "real" leader of the Dominion, accepting his orders without question.

The Vorta are genetically engineered to accept all the Changelings as gods. ~ Anya Prynn 22:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted a change of his rank from Constable to Lieutenant. I have never seen Odo referred to as anything other than constable or by his positional rank of Chief of Security (see: http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Odo). The Star Trek wiki does not list him as anything other than constable and no evidence was given by the guest to support the change. aldibibable (talk) 20:29, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I have reverted this rank change again. Unregistered user, please cite your source for Odo's rank being lieutenant and/or join in this discussion rather than just editting constantly. aldibibable (talk) 23:15, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Move disambig page here?
Since there were several real live people who bore the name Odo, it seems a bit strange to let a fictional character have the article with the title "Odo". I don't see there's a clear case which meaning of Odo is the most common one, and then it is better to move this article to "Odo (Star Trek)" or similar to let the disambig page have this spot. // habj 17:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Your comment seems anecdotal at best. Are there any "real life" people named Odo who are noteworthy and noteable to have their own Wikipedia articles?  It's not a matter of which meaning is "most common", but which one is most likely to be the one that someone's looking for when they do a search on the word.  The various Star Trek series are insanely popular, and when someone types "Odo" into the Search field and hits "Go", it is indeed very likely that this is the Odo they're looking for.  That is the criteria, since this is an online encyclopedia and not a directory. - Ugliness Man 13:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Regarding people named Odo who are noteworthy and noteable to have their own Wikipedia article, see Odo (disambiguation). Medieval people are quite often referred to with just their first name. // habj 04:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The point still stands that if someone is looking for the article on "Odo", it is likely that they are looking for this fictional character. We can't go around turning every article that shares the base title with other articles into a disambig, having a link to the disambig on the top of this one is sufficient. - Ugliness Man 07:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you have any evidence for that? I typed in Odo in order to find a list of historical figures called Odo (I knew of one or two in particular). So of all the people I know who have typed in "odo", 100% of them are not looking for the fictional star trek character. My guess is the (hypothetical) people who are looking for Odo (star trek) would not feel particularly inconvenienced by going via the Odo disambig page. I therefore think it makes sense for this page to be moved to Odo (Star Trek) and for Odo to redirect to the disambig page. I will carry this out in a week if there are no objections. Zargulon 16:34, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The issue isn't about 100% of the people searching on the term. If it was, far more articles would be disambig pages, and Wikipedia would be a mess.  No, the issue is a majority, or even a strong trend.  No, I don't have any hard evidence, because I haven't done the research, and I haven't done the research because I don't have to.  You see, when an editor wants to rename an article and force the current article name to instead be the disambig page, the onus is on that editor to prove that such an action is justified.  The onus is not on the other editors to do the research to maintain the status quo.  For example, at one time Tom Wilson linked to an article about a legendary music producer, but I felt that perhaps it should be a disambig page instead because when I searched the name, I was looking for the Back to the Future actor.  I didn't instantly assume that because I was looking for that person, the article should be changed.  On the advice of a more experienced Wikipedian, I did the research, I stated my case, I presented the data, and I waited.  There were no objections, so I went ahead and made the change.  I suggest you do the same.  But tread carefully, if you're adamant about this, it will likely be up to you to not only rename the relevant articles, but to find and edit all the articles which link here.  It's not something to take lightly, as I learned from the Tom Wilson experience.
 * The bottom line is that personal opinions, experiences and anecdotes are not sufficient, you need more solid evidence to support your claim. This article has existed as the Star Trek character since August of 2001.  In that entire time, it has been edited over 160 times by more than 80 unique users, not including over 30 anonymous IPs and a few bots.  Compare that to the fact that in that same time, there have been two people to bring up this point, both of which have been in the last 5 months.  This isn't an official Wikipedia term by any means, but I would call that "implied consensus". - Ugliness Man 06:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't understand.. do you, personally, object to my proposed move or not? Zargulon 13:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone who doesn't understand the bleeding obvious shouldn't be planning moves and renames. Yes, I object. - Ugliness Man 19:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. All other things being equal, because of User:Uglinessman's objection, I will not conduct the move. Zargulon 23:22, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Odo's duplication skills
"Odo ... never had the skill to duplicate humanoid features with precision, making his humanoid appearance an approximation."

I remember having seen at least one episode where Odo was able to mimic different human(oid) persons quite perfectly. How is this explained?

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the . 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.

move. This was a difficult one to close.

 * The editors who support the move basically argue that most readers would expect to find something other than an article on a recent fictional character. This is generally good, because we optimise for readers. It wouldn't be good if it's merely due to bias against Star Trek but the debate itself concentrated on guidelines and optimal organisation.
 * Those who oppose make the very fair point that this article is the only one named just "Odo" (or "Odo (some disambiguating word or phrase)") so by convention it should be the primary topic with a dab header if needed.
 * On the other hand, there is a large list of historical figures named "Odo of..." which we may reasonably consider to be "Odo"s.
 * Even if we discount the "Odo of ..." historical figures (and it's not at all clear that we should), there are actually several other uses of "Odo" listed on the dab page, including 3 other fictional characters and a genus of spider.
 * The Star Trek character has several hundred incoming links, but some of these are due to a template.
 * Numerically, the "support"s have it (just) but I don't give much weight to that fact at all.

I'm not inclined to relist, as I feel all pertinent points have likely been made by now.

I have consulted with other admins and the consensus was that the arguments in favour of moving the dab page to the primary topic override the technical consideration that this is the only article named "Odo". I appreciate this will not be universally popular but some decisions are not easy and this one has been taken after deep consideration and consultation with other admins. --kingboyk (talk) 15:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Amended/updated --kingboyk (talk) 16:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Requested move
I come on Wikipedia looking for information about the 10th century Archibishop of Canterbury and get some Star Trek nonsense. I certainly don't object to fictional characters having articles, but prioritising this drivel over the articles on dozens of historical figures named Odo makes Wikipedia look ridiculous. I suppose this article is mainly attended by fans of Star Trek, but if any of Wikipedia's writers with a sense of perspective stop by this page, I hope they'll see sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.251.70 (talk) 21:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * The name of this character is Odo. The other uses of the term "Odo" have more appropriate proper names (e.g. Odo I). That's what this article is here and those articles are there. This is a standard naming convention of Wikipedia, and has nothing to do with some endorsement of Star Trek. --Cheeser1 (talk) 19:05, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

 * The standard naming convention is to point the article to waht most people would expect to find, and I don't most people would think a fictional character from a 10 year old science fiction series, is what most people would expect if looking for a former leader of the English Church or a Grand Master of the Knights Templar, who amongst others bear the name Odo Fasach Nua (talk) 20:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

 * When the two have the exact same name yes. But they don't. Hence the clear and obvious disambiguation link at the top of the page. Is one extra click so much of a burden? --Cheeser1 (talk) 20:37, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And for the record, I see no evidence that this fictional character is any less popular than random obscure religious figures. --Cheeser1 (talk) 20:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And one more thing - this was discussed and rejected only a few months ago. --Cheeser1 (talk) 20:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't see the previous discussion! I dont agree with the outcome, but with such a recent consensus, I wont challenge it Fasach Nua (talk) 20:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

If the article is moved, it should be to Odo (Star Trek); although I'm not sure a move is really necessary. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 22:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

As much as I love DS9, I have to agree that Odo should likely be a disambig and this should be at Odo (Star Trek) or somesuch. Narson (talk) 02:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

 * There is only one page with the title "Odo" - how could it not be the primary meaning of "Odo"? All other pages have more precise proper names that are easily accessible through the diambiguation link at the top of this page. --Cheeser1 (talk) 03:06, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Odo of Fézensac had the proper name of Odo, just as the fictional character Odo of Star Trek has the proper name Odo, the only reason this Odo does not have aqualifier is that WP made the choice not to give him one. Fasach Nua (talk) 15:37, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * "Odo of Star Trek"?? Since when is he ever called that?? He is known as "Odo" and only as "Odo." That is how he is properly named. The other people at Odo (disambiguation) have different article titles because they have other, more appropriate names (e.g. Odo I or Odo IV or Odo de St Amand). --Cheeser1 (talk) 18:57, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The other people are all called just Odo, I'm sure Odo de St Amand was called just "Odo" by his mother, the "de St Amand" was added to ditinguish him from all the other Odos, just as this character is called Odo in show, it needs something t distinguish it from all the other Odos, hence Odo (Star Trek) would be no diffent of a treatment than all the other characters. Do you think Odo I was not originally called Odo until need arose to distinguish him from the next Odo? Fasach Nua (talk) 11:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Once again, You're missing the point entirely. What those Odos were referred to by their pals is irrelevant (otherwise we'd have to add "known to his friends as 'Al'" to "Weird Al" Yankovic's article, and any other number of ridiculous accommodations).  The Odos you mention have other full names/titles so that we, today, can distinguish them from each other.  When World War I occured, it was called The Great War, but today we call it World War I.  The Star Trek character is the only Odo that is known only as "Odo" for the purposes of a Wikipedia article (and from the perspective of mainstream popular culture).  Linking to the disambig page from the top of this article is more than sufficient to acknowledge that there are other Odos which someone may be looking for. - Ugliness Man (talk) 17:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Support move. This is exactly why we have disambiguations, and especially for fictional Star Trek characters that might get mixed up with real life notable people. Google search shows anything but consistency with the Star Trek character. The Evil Spartan (talk) 17:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Google is neither a source of content, nor of disambiguation policy. Which page do you assert is also specifically and precisely called Odo? Because if not, policy dictates that this is the primary (indeed only) article named "Odo." And that is exactly why we have disambig notices at the top of many pages (like this one). --Cheeser1 (talk) 19:55, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

 * While I tend to agree with Cheeser1's logic, a disambig page at Odo may be the safest idea. If that is the case, this article should be located at Odo (Star Trek), not Odo(DS9), which violates any number of naming conventions. JPG-GR (talk) 05:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you qualify "safe"? It sounds to me like "safe" means "avoid making people angry" (check out the first post "requesting" the move) and possibly "ignore naming convention to appease people who dislike Star Trek." I understand that diplomacy and compromise are necessary at times, but this isn't a content dispute, a sourcing issue, or anything of the sort. It's a naming convention, a consensus-supported sort of guideline, and the infuriated IP who started this conversation notwithstanding, I see no rhyme or reason to going against the standards. --Cheeser1 (talk) 05:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Support move to Odo (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) - A move to Odo (Star Trek) would be wrong, as Odo was not a character in the original series, and a move to Odo(DS9) is just plain wrong on so many levels. I can see where both Cheeser1 and Fasach Nua are coming from with their arguments, and I believe that Odo should become a disambiguation page, linking to all the different Odos on Wikipedia. – PeeJay 12:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Almost entire fictional character biography removed
Almost the entire fictional character biography of Odo was removed by User:Arithefrog as their only contribution ever a year and a half ago. While I approve of the concept of separating fact from fiction, the user seems to have gone too far. The article now has pretty much no in-universe biography left. Should the biography be added back? J I P | Talk 23:25, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Gender
The gender neutral use of "they" and "their" seems unnecessary as "The original Writer's Bible from 1992 for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine described Odo as follows: Odo, an alien male,...". A quote from within this very article. The use of these pronouns is confusing here. I don't recall Odo ever identifying as LGBQT, but I could be wrong. Anyone remember any such reference other than what the original writer's intended. Anyone without a political agenda have an opinion on this? Of course the article also states something about the Changlings being agendered species. Not much is found on Wiki about this though.

 * Let's not confuse gender with sex. His species is sexually monomorphic, true. But Odo is consistently referred to as "he" in the series, so Odo's social performance is that of a humanoid male. Given that, and that I don't recall Odo ever discussing his gender identity or challenging his gender role, it may be assumed he is cismale.
 * This is a bit of a jugdment call, but I prefer using male pronouns for Odo, taking writer's intentions in lieu of Odo's unstated personal preference.
 * I wouldn't object if the consensus ended up being to use WP:GENDER neutral language, though. Paradoctor (talk) 01:26, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

User:Mattbatt

Hi, I'm Matt Dunford, aka mattbatt in some circles. I currently work as a System Administrator during the day (and sometimes at night). I'm an avid reader of Wikipedia. Topics on History and Language are what I read the most, but clicking on the Random page link is plenty of fun too. I've always been interested in the movements of people, especially nomadic peoples like the Huns, Mongols, and Turks.

Other points of interest about me are: I enjoy browsing books on Grammar. Currently my favorite type of music is Death Metal. I seem to be drawn to bands from Finland (Finntroll, Moonsorrow, and Nightwish for example). I couldn't explain why. I'm also addicted to IRC and other chat venues.

The hobby that I spend the most of my free time on is Computer Programming. But lately I'm trying to branch out more and get away from the computer. I'm dabbling in such things as Gardening and Cooking. Reading is also something I'm trying to do more of. My favorite author of all time is Dostoevsky. Definately check him out.

My contributions to Wikipedia consist only of minor edits, as I correct when I'm browsing. A list of them can be found here.

Talk:Supervolcano

The whole what data we use and VEI9 talk we finely have to talk about...
well this is the hard part to talk about but. it was recently found out that 2 volcanoes might have had a eruption volume of 10,000 KM or more this is base on ... Flat landing brook, stating to have had a super eruption of AT LEAST yellowstone/toba , both are at 2,000 cubic km , it also list its eruption at 12,000 cubic for flat landing brook that at least all happend less then a million of years , making the dispute range from 2,000-12,000 cubic km.

the next one is Toba, this one has 3 different listing 1978 listing:2,000 km 2004 listing:2,800 km 2014 listing:13,200 km

the whole lower range of both 2000 km in a way.

but toba is newer range of 13,200, ive seen at least for star radi wiki page that its best to only use the most recent info.

however if we do this then we have to figure out if the VEI scale stops at 8 or goes to 9, because some source says the scale stops at 8 but some state it contiues to 9 , this is very confusing.

seen here makes it a bit more confusing, that for most VEI8 , it will show as VEI8 and magnitude 8.0 , but for toba its listed as VEI8 and magnitude 9.1 , im not sure what to say , like this could point it stops at 8 but it could be that the site isn't able to put vei9 , toba is the only volcano to have its magnitude as 1 point above its vei scale.

so the question is what do we do?Joshoctober16 (talk) 00:26, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Magnitude and VEI are just two different classification schemes for explosive eruptions, and they don't necessarily agree even though they often do.
 * VEI was introduced by Newhall and Self in 1982 and is based bulk volume (volume of deposits). VEI is categorical variable, and any eruption >= 1000-km3 is 8, so there is no 9 or higher in VEI.
 * Magnitude was introduced by Pyle in 1995 and is based mass of deposits (equivalent to volume of magma, DRE). Magnitude is continuous variable (not categorical), has no upper bound, allows fractional part, and the formula is log10(deposits mass in kg)-7 Aleral Wei (talk) 20:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Definition of supervolcano, VEI, magnitude
There does not exist a consensual definition of "Supervolcano" or "Supereruption" in literature. Proposed definitions, however, do exist but not necessarily adopted in all studies. Here's two:

1) Supervolcano is a volcano that has had an explosive eruption with VEI = 8 (i.e. volume of deposits ≥ 1000 km3). For example, de Silva 2008 and USGS Q&A page

2) Supervolcano as that has had an explosive eruption with Magnitude ≥ 8.0 (i.e. mass of deposits ≥ 10^15 kg). For example, Geological society working group, Self 2006, Miller & Wark 2010, Bryan et al 2010, Wilson et al 2021, de Silva and Self 2022

Magnitude (M) is calculated as follow:

M = log10(mass of deposits in kg) - 7

The second definition is far more popular among volcanologists who studies large eruptions. Also noted, the '''VEI classification creator, Stephen Self, no longer uses VEI≥8 as the supervolcano criteria. Stephen Self has adopted M≥8.0 as supervolcano criteria in this recent paper.'''

It is imperative for this page to at least include both definitions.

The table is also confusing. The table header says bulk volume while most volumes included are DRE/magma volume. Best to separate them into two columns Aleral Wei (talk) 21:31, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Terminology
I think someone already flagged it, but the terminology subsection needs to be updated. Quote from the source someone had already put there: (https://www.wired.com/2013/10/the-rise-of-supervolcano/)

"But when does it get into the geologic literature? It takes a while although it gets used in other disciplines. In 2001, the word shows up in journal articles from Near East Archeology (referring to Toba) and *Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry *(referring to Yellowstone, for what might be the first time). Also, the popular press book *Volcanoes *by Peter Clarkson uses it to talk about massive eruptions in Idaho. However, it isn't until 2002 that it shows up in geologic literature, again, starting with asteroid impact theory (namely, alternatives). C.R. Chapman uses the term in a Geological Society of America publication called "Impact lethality and risks in today's world: Lessons for interpreting Earth history" and a paper in The Holocene refers to a supervolcano when discussing European bog oaks of all things, but does so to refer back to Keys' ideas of a volcanic eruption in 535 A.D. Neither of these actually define a "supervolcano," but rather just mention them offhandedly.

In fact, the first truly geologic publication focused on a "supervolcano" that can be found in Google Scholar is from 2002 by the infamous R.B. Trombley discussing prediction of eruptions at Yellowstone. Trombley was an amateur geologist who made his "Southwest Volcano Research Centre" seem like a major research center when it was really his trailer. He duped people into buying his false "eruption prediction" software and was interviewed during the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull. It was then when it was found out that he was a fraud. That being said, he attributes "supervolcano" to a BBC documentary in 2000, likely based on Keys' Catastrophe book. So, the use of "supervolcano" in geology was launched, in a sense, by one of its greatest frauds."

It would be good to update the terminology page with this, or a shortened version as apposed to just stating "More than fifty years after Byers' review was published, the term supervolcano was popularised by the BBC popular science television program Horizon in 2000, referring to eruptions that produce extremely large amounts of ejecta" as it is misleading Berg998 (talk) 02:24, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Conformal fuel tank

Conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) are additional fuel tanks fitted closely to the profile of an aircraft that extend the endurance of the aircraft.

Advantages
CFTs have a reduced aerodynamic penalty compared to external drop tanks, and do not significantly increase an aircraft's radar cross-section. Another advantage CFTs provide is that they do not occupy ordnance hardpoints like drop tanks, allowing the aircraft to carry its full payload.

Disadvantages
Conformal fuel tanks have the disadvantage that, unlike drop tanks, they cannot be discarded in flight, because they are plumbed into the aircraft and so can only be removed on the ground. As a result, they will impose a slight drag-penalty and minor weight gain on the aircraft even when the tanks are empty, without any benefit. They can also impose slight g-load limits, although not always an absolute issue: the CFTs on the F-15E actually allow the same maneuverability without g-limitations.

Conformal fuel tanks

 * F-15C Eagle/F-15E Strike Eagle
 * F-15C entered service with CFT capability. Initially known as FAST packs (Fuel And Sensor Tactical), each unit carried an additional 750 gal of fuel, while retaining hardpoints for four AIM-7F Sparrow missiles or bombs, some on the FAST packs. They were first tested on the F-15B in 1974. All U.S. F-15Es, and Strike Eagle export variants such as the Israeli and Singapore models, are fitted with CFTs under the wing outside the engine intake and require modification to fly without them. The FAST pack was originally intended to carry a navigational and targeting infrared sensor system (thus "Fuel And Sensor"); however, the F-15 simply began carrying LANTIRN pods for ground-attack missions instead.

 * F-16C/D Block 50/52+, F-16E/F Block 60 and F-16I Sufa
 * Export aircraft for Greece, Chile, Israel, Poland, Pakistan, Turkey, Singapore, Morocco, Egypt and the UAE are plumbed for carriage of two CFTs mounted atop the aircraft near the wing root. Together they hold 450 gal, 3050lb of fuel.

 * Dassault Rafale
 * Two 1150 L CFTs were first tested by Dassault in April 2001.

 * Mikoyan MiG-29SMT – MiG-29S (Product 9.13)- Mikoyan MiG-35
 * One 950 L CFTs in a further enlarged spine.

 * Eurofighter Typhoon
 * Wind tunnel tested by BAE, two CFTs with 1500 L capacity each.

 * AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo
 * The F-CK-1D prototype ("Brave Hawk") and the F-CK-1C single-seater prototype are equipped with the new CFTs. The prototype Indigenous Defence Fighter II “Goshawk” has over-wing CFTs.

 * Advanced Super Hornet
 * Conformal fuel tanks are mounted above the wings to replace the drag of underwing tanks. Combined, they carry 1,590 kg (3,500 lb) of extra fuel, while adding extra lift and expanding combat radius by 130 nmi (240 km) with a small transonic acceleration penalty.

 * Chengdu J-10
 * Wind tunnel tested by Chengdu.

 * WWII:
 * Supermarine Spitfire in the belly.
 * Messerschmitt Bf 109 in the belly.
 * Messerschmitt Bf 110D-1 in the belly – nicknamed Dackelbauch (dachshund's belly).

Distended internal tanks

Wikihawks beware! 05:21, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)

come on...
I took care of Lord Nasty, cant someone else do the Funkapus???

be stealth and...
post your digits for a few minutes.

where are they now
salary about that you big fag. tried to leave most of your article intact but it was crying for substance. everyone knows virgil is more of a ramen guy and i havent played video games for a living for at least 10 years. (unless online poker counts).

so...
who is you?

confession time
Atom here.

John Tynan
...was the road manager for Dieselhed and Link Wray. He also worked for the Bangles at some point as a Jr. Road Crew member as well as others (hope others will expand). I hope you will consider leaving his entry as he has become an infamous behind-the-scenes character in many music circles. A poor man's Peter Grant if you will. Bands who would probably vouch for his relevance include: Cake, Link Wray, Dieselhed, Dengue Fever, Radar Bros, Grandaddy, The Bangles, Soul Assylum, Fast Ball, The White Stripes (or at least their booking agent Dave Kaplan), etc...

He's legit.

Dieselhed photo
This was a commissioned piece I secured for the band. It is an original piece paid for in full to one of those portrait painting guys who will take random pictures that you have and create a family portrait from scratch. This work was going to be included in the 'Chico And The Flute' album artwork but was vetoed last minute by drummer Danny. It warms my heart that it can finally be made useful! The painting was purchased and is owned by me. The photo of the piece was taken and owned by me. Youre all clear.

RCR
You made a good job at expanding RCR. I don't know much about them, but created the stub a few months ago in the hope somebody would expand it. I am glad that now it's a failry descent entry. Cheers! --Sn0wflake 14:33, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Your request
A coupla days back, you asked for assistance on Village pump (proposals) about creating a pharmaceutical stub. Just so you know, I did reply a little while ago. Incidentally, if you want help of this kind, it should really be addressed to Help Desk. Cheers, Smoddy (t) (e) 19:35, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Laura Bush
I have protected the page to your version. If anyone suggests changes on the talk page, please discuss those changes with them. I don't plan to make any changes to the article myself; I regard your version as an acceptable compromise.

Please be aware of Three revert rule, which you broke at Laura Bush. Also, the edit summary comments (I can do this all day AND I'm getting paid for it.) are really not very helpful at all. -- Curps 00:46, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

My point in informing you is just in case you weren't aware of it. -- Curps 05:11, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I noted your request for an advocate, please contact me if you are still looking for one. --Wgfinley 20:50, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sexuality, promiscuity and drug use.
While the sexuality itself has nothing to do with compulsive sexual behavior among meth users, there is a clear difference among the culture of meth addiction that falls on a gay/straight line; undoubtedly due to the culture of meth addiction more so than the sexuality of the individual itself. There is a large number of straight meth users. They don't exhibit the unusual compulsive sexual behavior that gay men do, while using meth. It's a fact, however, that gay and bisexual men get HIV while using crystal during sexual encounters. It needs to be included in any article about methamphetamine, because it is significant enough. Leaving it out would be like leaving out the impact AIDS had on the gay community in the 1980s on an article about AIDS.  ℬ astique ▼ talk 12:43, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Jimmy martin.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jimmy martin.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an arguement why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

License tagging for Image:Hifives.jpeg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hifives.jpeg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 02:05, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Al Sobrante
Please note that my recent edit of Al Sobrante was directed at the myth behind how he aquired his name. Not his behavior during shows. That was an unintentional byproduct of my reversion. However, did you witness this behavior during his time with Green Day? Or just after when he was involved with the Ne'er Do Wells? I was in the audience for many Isocracy and Al Sobrante era Green Day shows and never saw any behavior that matches your description.

Silvertone (instruments)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Silvertone (instruments), but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please find and add a reliable citation to your recent edit so we can verify your work. Uncited information may be removed at any time. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing!

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

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Bigr Tex  19:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

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

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2007, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Rianaऋ 06:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

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

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:27, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Ill10.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ill10.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bigr Tex  23:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Hifives.jpeg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hifives.jpeg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 15:56, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Fruitcake (film)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Fruitcake (film), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Trashwomen
A tag has been placed on The Trashwomen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:08, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Klickitat Street

The article Klickitat Street has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Non remarkable street in Portland.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Admrboltz (talk) 23:56, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Klickitat Street for deletion
The article Klickitat Street is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Klickitat Street until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Admrboltz (talk) 20:57, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

 * Thanks for creating Klickitat Street. While I understand it is frustrating to have an article you created nominated for deletion, I think you need to relax.  At deletion discussions, it is best to comment on content, not the contributor.  Labelling the nominator as a "wikihawk" is not helpful in any way.  Wikipedia has over 3 million articles, and over 1000 are added every day.  Some level of maintenance is required to keep this project operating as an encyclopedia and not just a place where anyone can create a page on any subject with any content, and the users who perform this maintenance are arguably as useful as those who create content.  Anyway, it appears the article will probably be kept.  Cheers.  Snotty Wong   gossip 20:39, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Civility
Thank you for the Klickitat Street article. I found it interesting when I was drawn to it by the Rescue Squadron listing. Please remember Civility, the first of the five pillars of Wikipedia. Sometimes other editors forget it, or never knew that they should be polite and civil here, but the rest of us should not respond in kind. Your article is going to be rescued by myself and other Rescue Squadron members. You provided the start, others are improving your start. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Reading, Berkshire

GA check
I am working my way through the Good articles listed at Places; having a quick look to see if they still meet the Good article criteria. I have landed on this article. After I've had a quick look, I'll leave a note here indicating if I have concerns or not.

In general, I see the process as this: 1) Give the article a quick look to see if there are obvious issues: maintenance tags, unsourced sections, excessive media, etc, resolving any minor issues as I do so; 2) If I have concerns, open a GAR to see how serious those concerns are, resolving them myself if they are not serious; 3) If during the GAR I feel that there is significant work to be done (more than I can or am willing to do myself), I will put the GAR on hold and notify the main contributors.

My aim and intention is to keep the article listed - I would rather the article was improved and kept listed than the article is delisted. Where a delisting seems likely due to the amount or nature of work needed being greater than I am able to do alone, and the main contributors are unavailable or unable for whatever reason to do the work, then appropriate WikiProjects will be notified at least seven days before a delisting would take place.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  17:09, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

 * There is some excess media in the article, with occasional squeezing of text; this is against the advice at WP:MOSIM and WP:LAYIM, part of the GA criteria.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  17:20, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The climate and population tables may be against the advice at WP:EMBED, a GA criteria, and against WP:NOTSTAT, a policy. There is, however, a current discussion regarding this at WikiProject Cities, with no clear consensus yet.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  17:24, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * There are a number of short paragraphs, which is against the advice at WP:Layout, a GA criteria. The Cultural references section, for example, has five paragraphs, which, given they are all on the same point (cultural references in Reading), should be one paragraph. A series of paragraphs in that section would only be needed if there were sufficient distinction between points being made - but in this case there are not.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  17:31, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The lead does not appear to appropriately summarise the whole of the article, nor does the opening paragraph identify the main points about Reading - it consists, instead, of some detail regarding distance from other towns. That fine detail is of questionable value in the lead, let alone in the first paragraph. See WP:Lead. What are the most important facts about Reading that readers should know in the first paragraph? I'm not sure the answer is that readers should know that it is 36 miles east from Swindon. The facts in the third paragraph seem somewhat more important and interesting.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  17:43, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

 * ✅ I've had a quick tidy up, nothing serious, and developed the lead a little. I only removed one image, the rest I have just redistributed a bit. Essentially this is a decent article.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  16:21, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect demonym?
Searching Google or Google Books shows that the demonym has generally been "Redingensian" (presumably re-spelled in a Latin style) and not "Readingensian", despite a few sloppy news articles. We should definitely add the better-established "Redingensian" as a demonym, and possibly also remove "Readingensian" as a misspelling -- depending on how much it has caught on in general usage. 86.136.110.44 (talk) 11:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

 * It seems a Redingensian can also be someone who attended the Reading School (an "Old Redingensian" being a former pupil). 86.136.110.44 (talk) 11:37, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Before taking it further suggest you provide the best source(s) for your contention here. The spelling of historic sources of the town's name are worth referring to also in support of any change.Tmol42 (talk) 12:15, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Lead montage
I have switched the article back to the previous montage (with The Oracle, Town Hall and St Laurence's Church, Skyline from Reading West, Reading Abbey and Reading Festival) in place of the one recently introduced (with Queen Victoria Street, Bath Road Reservoir, London Road, Reading Town Hall, Reading Railway Station & Reading College). I've done this for two principal reasons:

 * The second montage is too long. With 6 sub-images and a less symmetric layout it does not convey an image in the way its symmetric 5 image predecessor with.

 * The second montage does not cover the key icons of Reading the way the first does. With the best will in the world, QVC, Bath Road Reservoir, the railway station and Reading College are second-order symbols when compared to Reading Festival and Reading Abbey, both of which are ommitted from the second montage.

I wasn't involved in creating either of the two montages, although apparently I took the photograph of the Abbey back in 2007. I don't think that the first montage is perfect. To me, the central skyline image is a bit wanting. But it is better than the second.

Thoughts?. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 17:08, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I am not sure the montage adds anything to the article. The only components which are clear at the scale as seen, are the skyline and Abbey. St Laurence includes a lot else besides the subject. Oracle and Festival are just gaudy lights which could be anything. Perhaps a fresh approach is needed. A skyline panoramic, perhaps from a different angle, whilst not flattering, might give a truer view of the town? Other components being used in their sections. SovalValtos (talk) 18:51, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I've changed a couple of the photos around which you've mentioned. BaldBoris 20:15, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Better, but the Town Hall + St L pic would only be clear to people who already know which is which. The town hall could be the group of buildings taking up most of the left of the pic. Maybe it is. The Gaol and Hospital are both striking, but I still question the value of a collage. SovalValtos (talk) 14:17, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Language schools
Is the existence of language schools sufficiently notable for a list of some to be included in the page?SovalValtos (talk) 16:56, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Twinning with Meaux?
The article says Reading is twinned with Meaux. There's no mention of Meaux on the latest version of Borough Council twinning page. or a flyer from last Christmas. It does get a mention in the ref given but, unlike almost all the others on that list, no date is given and it's not clear how reliable that source is. The Meaux article also gives another ref from the RBC site but the archived versions before (9 May 2013) and after in date (15 February 2014) don't mention Meaux. There is a mention in a GetReading article but I wouldn't be surprised if their source was Wikipedia and another, more recent article does not mention Meaux. I'm inclined to delete Meaux from the list unless a current, relaible source can be found. Cavrdg (talk) 13:37, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Should ECMWF be mentioned on the Reading article?
The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is a major international research and operational weather forecasting centre located in Shinfield Park. I'm not British/local, and a very inexperienced editor, so I'm hazy on whether that means makes it eligible for mention on the Reading article, since apparently Shinfield isn't part of the Reading town/borough(?), and ECMWF is actually located just outside the borders of Reading.

I'm not associated with ECMWF in any capacity, at most I have vague hopes of maybe working there at some point in the medium future (a few years off though, at the least).

Recent revert and how to begin lead
Hi, I think the IP was trying to add market as an adjective as in market town. I'd agree large, historic market, university and minster town with or without an extra comma after historic would be a bit unwieldy but, if anything, it's including university and minster here that is unusual. Discounting Wimborne, a Google search on Minster Town mainly turns up crossword solutions. I think a large market town would be better here with mention of history, university and minster following. --Cavrdg (talk) 12:14, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll take another look, with a view to incorporating the adjectival 'market'. Feline Hymnic (talk) 12:29, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Geography opening sentence
The geography section starts with 'As the crow flies'. This seems rather colloquial for Wikipedia? The sentence would still make sense without it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.225.251.79 (talk) 09:19, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Edited as suggested and corrected the wandering crow's distance to the coast.SovalValtos (talk) 09:30, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

"Large" town
There is a discussion at talk:Milton Keynes (on whether the adjective 'large' may be used) that applies equally to Reading. Editors of this article may wish to contribute. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 08:11, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The conclusion in summary was that "large" is subjective, no reliable source defines it. Visitors can see the population figure and decide if that counts as large by their standards. WP:WikiProject UK geography has endorsed this conclusion. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:06, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The other conclusion was that the wish to say "large town" could be delivered another way: "Reading is the largest town in Berkshire". Done. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Town Motto
With the death of Elizabeth II in 2022, does the town motto change from A Deo et Regina (With God and Queen) to A Deo et Rex (With God and King)? Ministry (talk) 20:15, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Removed stabbing
I've removed the following - it doesn't seem particularly relevant:

 * On 20 June 2020, three people were killed and three others seriously injured in a mass stabbing at Reading's Forbury Gardens that was treated as a terrorist incident; its perpetrator was later sentenced to a whole-life term.

List of river borders of U.S. states

Because of its unique history, many of the boundaries of the political divisions of the United States were artificially constructed (rather than permitted to evolve and drawn using natural features of the landscape). Therefore, many U.S. states have straight lines as boundaries, especially in the West. However, there are many partial state boundaries, particularly in the Midwest, Northeast, and South, that are defined by rivers; in fact, only four mainland states (Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming) completely lack any borders defined by rivers or waterways, as well as Hawaii whose borders are the islands.

The rule of the thread of the channel and its exceptions
River boundaries are typically defined by the "thread of the channel" (the river's thalweg, usually in the approximate middle of the river's channel), under a rule that the United States inherited from England, where it applies to boundaries between counties. In the United States, there are at least six exceptions, however, where the boundary is one bank of the river rather than the thread of the channel:

 * The boundary between New Hampshire and Vermont is the west bank of the Connecticut River. This was established as the eastern boundary of New York by a grant of King Charles II in 1664. It was disregarded by Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire, who treated the New Hampshire Grants west of the river as a de facto part of New Hampshire during the years 1649–1764, but King George III put an end to that in 1764. In August 1781, the Continental Congress decided it would recognize the then largely unrecognized state of Vermont, which had been organized in defiance of New York, on condition that Vermont would agree to certain boundaries. In 1782, the legislature of Vermont agreed, but nonetheless Vermont was not admitted to the Union until 1791. In 1933, citing the 1782 legislation, the United States Supreme Court denied the petition from the state of Vermont to make the boundary the thread of the channel.
 * The boundaries between Kentucky and West Virginia and the three states to their north – Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois – is based on the historical northern bank of the Ohio River. In 1763, Britain defeated France in the Seven Years' War, whose North American theater was called the French and Indian War. At that time, Canada, which had been a French colony, became a British colony, and Parliament made the north bank of the Ohio the southern boundary of Canada. The river was thus included in the district of Kentucky, which was then a part of Virginia. In January 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Ohio v. Kentucky that the state line is the low-water mark of the Ohio River's north shore as of Kentucky's admission to the Union in 1792. Because both damming and natural changes have rendered the 1792 shore virtually undetectable in many places, the exact boundary was decided in the 1990s in settlements among the states.
 * The boundary between Delaware and New Jersey north of 39° 30' north latitude is the east bank of the Delaware River.
 * The boundary between Delaware and New Jersey south of a certain point is the east bank of the Delaware River, rather than the thread of the channel.
 * The boundary between Maryland and Virginia is the south bank of the Potomac River. This also applies both to the border between Maryland and West Virginia (from Harper's Ferry to the source of the Potomac near the Fairfax Stone) since the latter was at one point part of Virginia, and to the border between Virginia and Washington, D.C., since the capital was established from a section of Maryland property.
 * The boundary between Alabama and Georgia, south of West Point, Georgia, is the west bank of the Chattahoochee River at the mean water mark. This was established in an 1860 Supreme Court ruling, Alabama v. Georgia.

Susto

Susto is a cultural illness primarily among Latin American cultures. It is described as a condition of "chronic somatic suffering stemming from emotional trauma or from witnessing traumatic experiences lived by others".

Symptoms
Among the indigenous peoples of Latin America, in which this illness is most common, susto may be conceptualized as a case of spirit attack. Symptoms of susto are thought to include nervousness, anorexia, insomnia, listlessness, fever, depression, and diarrhea.

Treatment
Treatments among indigenous people are natural. Some natural treatments to susto consist of using plants as medicine; sweating out the toxins; and massaging to encourage blood flow. Prayer is a big part of the treatment of susto. In addition to prayer, healing rituals are also used, some of which include sweeping and giving gifts.

Classification
Susto may be a culturally dependent variation of the symptoms of a panic attack, which is distinct from anxiety and depressive disorders.

Trygve Haavelmo

Trygve Magnus Haavelmo (13 December 1911 – 28 July 1999), born in Skedsmo, Norway, was an economist whose research interests centered on econometrics. He received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1989.

Biography
After attending Oslo Cathedral School, Haavelmo received a degree in economics from the University of Oslo in 1930 and eventually joined the Institute of Economics with the recommendation of Ragnar Frisch. Haavelmo was Frisch's assistant for a period of time until he was appointed as head of computations for the institute. In 1936, Haavelmo studied statistics at University College London while he subsequently traveled to Berlin, Geneva, and Oxford for additional studies. Haavelmo assumed a lecturing position at the University of Aarhus in 1938 for one year and then in the subsequent year was offered an academic scholarship to travel abroad and study in the United States. During World War II he worked with Nortraship in the Statistical Department in New York City. He received his PhD in 1946 for his work on The Probability Approach in Econometrics.

He was a professor of economics and statistics at the University of Oslo between 1948–79 and was the trade department head of division from 1947–48. Haavelmo acquired a prominent position in modern economics through his logical critique of a series of custom conceptions in mathematical analysis.

In 1989, Haavelmo was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics "for his clarification of the probability theory foundations of econometrics and his analyses of simultaneous economic structures."

Haavelmo resided at Østerås in Bærum. He died on 28 July 1999 in Oslo.

Legacy
Judea Pearl wrote "Haavelmo was the first to recognize the capacity of economic models to guide policies" and "presented a mathematical procedure that takes an arbitrary model and produces quantitative answers to policy questions". According to Pearl, "Haavelmo's paper, 'The Statistical Implications of a System of Simultaneous Equations', marks a pivotal turning point, not in the statistical implications of econometric models, as historians typically presume, but in their causal counterparts." Haavelmo's idea that an economic model depicts a series of hypothetical experiments and that policies can be simulated by modifying equations in the model became the basis of all currently used formalisms of econometric causal inference. (The biostatistics and epidemiology literature on causal inference draws from different sources. ) It was first operationalized by Robert H. Strotz and Herman Wold (1960) who advocated "wiping out" selected equations, and then translated into graphical models as "wiping out" incoming arrows. This operation has subsequently led to Pearl's "do"-calculus and to a mathematical theory of counterfactuals in econometric models. Pearl further speculates that the reason economists do not generally appreciate these revolutionary contributions of Haavelmo is because economists themselves have still not reached consensus of what an economic model stands for, as attested by profound disagreements among econometric textbooks.

Blackfriars Theatre and Arts Centre

Blackfriars Theatre and Arts Centre is a theatre and community centre situated in Spain Lane, Boston, Lincolnshire, England. The building is a remaining part of a mediaeval friary.

Building
Blackfriars Theatre and Arts Centree is Grade II* listed. The two-storey building was the refectory of a Dominican friary that was "heavily restored and altered" in 1963 when an eastern gable was rebuilt with casement windows added. The interior retains a 17th-century staircase, although not in its original position. Pevsner describes the building as a 90 ft long "Friars Hall", running on an east to west axis with its upper floor previously the refectory. At the Suppression of the Monasteries material from the Friary was used to repair sea walls.

Blackfriars Friary was formed some time during the 13th Century. The first written record is from 1288 when it was noted that the friary had been rebuilt after being destroyed by fire. In 1300 the friary housed a total of 29 friars. The surviving building was converted into a theatre in 1965.

Blackfriars is said to be haunted by a friar, who hides sharp objects left by theatregoers under the stage.

Use
The centre's first professional director was appointed in 1980, but today it is completely run and managed by local volunteers with the help of a full-time theatre technician.. It comprises a theatre with a 230-seat auditorium, a foyer gallery, a revue bar, and an art studio.

In former days the arts centre provided art classes, including night classes in still life, life drawing, screen printing, needlework and photography. It included various residences and numerous outreach workers throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

Groups which use the arts centre currently include the Boston Playgoers, BOS Musical Theatre Group, and Cutwater Theatre Group. There is also a very active Theatre Academy for children from 4 to 19, and a number of other organisations meet here including U3A, Ballet schools, and Lithuanian Community Groups. Rooms are available for hire.

The building hosts performances, workshops, classes and other activities, and has a rolling art exhibition, generally featuring local artists, which is changed monthly.

Stump Radio was established at the centre with help from Spalding's Tulip Radio, and broadcast during July and August 2006, and in 2007. The station is now Endeavour FM, presenting news, music and community events through local presenters.

Jason Truby

Jason Truby (born June 1, 1973) is an American guitarist. He began his career in 1989 with Living Sacrifice as lead guitarist. He was also a member of P.O.D., but has also performed with Phil Keaggy, David Beegle, Ashley Cleveland and her husband Kenny Greenberg, and was a guest performer with Phil Keaggy's band Glass Harp at the First Annual Denver Guitar Festival.

Living Sacrifice
In 1989, Truby joined Living Sacrifice with the other members being Bruce Fitzhugh, DJ Johnson, and Lance Garvin.

In 1991, Living Sacrifice's self-titled debut was released on R.E.X. Records. In 1992, Living Sacrifice released their second album, Nonexistent.

In 1994, the band released a third album, Inhabit Living Sacrifice signed onto Solid State Records seeking to widen their audience. In 1995, Johnson left the band and was replaced by Truby's older brother, Chris.

Living Sacrifice recorded Reborn, their Solid State debut, in 1997. The band started to play a mix of groove metal and metalcore. Reborn is considered the most influential of all Living Sacrifice records. In 1998, both Truby brothers left the band and were eventually replaced by Rocky Gray and Arthur Green.

P.O.D.
In 2003, P.O.D. lacked a guitarist after former band member Marcos Curiel parted with the band amidst controversy. Truby was available at the time and wrote and recorded the band's single, "Sleeping Awake", for The Matrix Reloaded Soundtrack album. He became a full-time member soon afterward.

The band released its first album with Truby, Payable on Death, in November 2003. It was the first time the band discarded its rap metal style, which sparked much controversy. Despite the new style, the album has sold over one million copies worldwide.

Truby also wrote the song "Truly Amazing" with P.O.D. for The Passion of the Christ: Songs album, which won a GMA Dove Award.

In 2005, POD released the Warriors 2 EP .

The second P.O.D. album with Truby, Testify, was produced by Glen Ballard and released in January 2006, including Katy Perry on background vocals on the song "Goodbye for Now". Later that year, P.O.D. released its Greatest Hits album, which was Truby's last work with the band.

On December 30, 2006, Truby left P.O.D.

Solo
Truby's first solo album was String Theory (2004), an acoustic album. Truby released his second album, also instrumental, Waiting on the Wind on November 20, 2007. On July 26, 2008, Truby announced a third solo acoustic album, Finding the Quiet, released on November 25. Truby completed his debut rock album, Entropy in 2009. In 2011, he released an acoustic Christmas album entitled The Greatest Love.

Truby produced a compilation album in 2012 for a non-profit adoption and foster care organization called Project Zero. This album entitled "Grafted" featured Truby, Stu G from Delirious?, Sonny Sandoval from P.O.D., Cheri Keaggy, Phil Keaggy, Steve Dean, Tiffany Thornton, Geoff Moore, Willet, The Roys (2010 bluegrass band of the year), Caitlin Evanson, Sean Michel.

In 2012, Truby released an acoustic driven vocal album called Our Time Here a fingerstyle album with songs featuring artist Phil Keaggy.

Truby's instrumental, Passages, was released in 2013 and features Phil Keaggy. 2016 Truby was commissioned to do an instrumental guitar album, Hymns, consisting of his fingerstyle arrangements of ancient hymns. It has been distributed to cancer treatment centers to give to patients and families undergoing cancer treatments.

Truby is currently working on an instrumental Christmas album.

User:Stewartadcock/Scientific computation

This is a draft article about scientific computation, as is distinct from the computational sciences and computer science, at least as I see it. Content about scientific programming would form a considerable chunk of this article so could either be redirected here, or could alternatively form a seperate article. Comments welcome. As you can see, I haven't written very much yet!

Key questions to be addressed:

What is scientific computing?

How does it differ from conventional computing?

What are the specific issues of scientific programming? How does high-performance computing and numerical code help?

What are some typical example domains in which computation is critical? What academic disciplines? What commerical issues?

User:Jengod/Carver's Tract

That which is labeled as "Carver's Tract" had been (supposedly) deeded to surveyor/mapmaker Captain Jonathan Carver by two chiefs of the Sioux nation in 1767, although Carver himself never wrote about the deed. Such a land grant from Native Americans to an Englishman was forbidden at the time by royal decree, but Carver's heirs and their associates continued to press for ownership rights for some time.

Mondsee (lake)

Mondsee (Moon Lake) is a lake in the Upper Austrian part of the Salzkammergut and near the larger Attersee. Its southwestern shore marks the border between the states of Upper Austria and Salzburg and also between the Northern Limestone Alps in the south and the Sandstone zone of the northern Alps. The Drachenwand (Dragonwall) at the southern shore of the lake is an impressive sight. Mondsee is one of Austria's last privately owned lakes. In August 2008, owner Nicolette Wächter announced it was up for sale.

In 1864, remains of neolithic pile dwellings were discovered in the lake.

New species discovered in Lake Mondsee
Two bacterial strains isolated from Lake Mondsee were recognized as new species and described as Polynucleobacter cosmopolitanus and Polynucleobacter duraquae, respectively. Both species are non-pathogenic and dwell in the lake as part of its bacterioplankton.

Fish community of Lake Mondsee
Fish living in the lake:
 * esox
 * lake trout
 * brown trout
 * rainbow trout
 * The lake char became locally extinct in the last quarter of the 20th century
 * European eel
 * carp
 * burbot
 * whitefish

Mondsee in fiction
Ian Fleming mentions the Mondsee in one of his James Bond novels, Thunderball. In chapter six, Blofeld reports to the members of SPECTRE that their German unit has successfully retrieved (in secret) Himmler's hoard of jewels from Lake Mondsee.

Arno Geiger's 2018 novel Beneath Drachenwand Mountain is set mainly in Mondsee.
