Duane Peters

Duane Thomas Peters (born June 12, 1961) is a punk rock singer/songwriter and professional skateboarder. Active since 1975, he is probably best known as the singer in the California punk rock band U.S. Bombs, which formed in 1993.

Biography
Peters is credited for popularizing, or in his words "inventing" many tricks, such as the "acid drop" into a pool/bowl, the "layback grind", the "Indy air", the "Sweeper", the "backside layback grind revert", the "fakie hang-up" (a.k.a. "Disaster"), the "invert revert", the "fakie thruster", and the "loop of death", a full 360-degree rotation in a specially designed loop. He also, along with Neil Blender, helped to evolve the footplant into the more dynamic fastplant.

Peters was named Transworld Skateboarding's "Legend" in 2003. He is a professional skateboarder who rides for Pocket Pistols Skates. In May 2005, Black Label Skateboards released a biographic film, entitled Who Cares: The Duane Peters Story. A second documentary, planned by HavocTV, and intended to focus on the supposed path to sobriety of Peters girlfriend Corey Parks, was publicized but failed to appear. In 2006, a sober Peters had a cameo in the Joan Jett video "Androgynous", directed by Morgan Higby Night.

Along with skateboarding, Peters is a well-known punk rock singer. He has formed bands such as the US Bombs, Political Crap, Die' Hunns (also known as Duane Peters and The Hunns), Duane Peters Gunfight, and Exploding Fuckdolls. He was formerly connected with two defunct record labels: Disaster Records, (owned by Patrick Boissel of Alive Records), and – later – Indian Recordings (owned by Ponk Media).

In 2000, Peters formed Duane Peters and The Hunns with Rob Milucky (previously of The Grabbers and The Pushers). Within two years, the band released three albums and undertook both national and European tours. At a The Damned show in 2002, Peters met Corey Parks, who had just left her previous band, Nashville Pussy. Parks joined Duane Peters and the Hunns on bass guitar and soon the band changed their name to Die Hunns. Die Hunns recorded a fourth album entitled Long Legs, Die' Hunns, and embarked on another tour.

Personal life
Peters' 20-year-old son, Chess (Chelsea) Peters, was killed in a car accident on July 6, 2007.

Duane has one child with Corey Parks, a son named Clash Peters. Duane Peters has never been married; despite rumors, he was never married to Corey Parks.

Indigenous peoples of Brunei

The indigenous peoples of Brunei are Bruneian people who belong to the ethnic groups considered indigenous to the country. It is more commonly attributed to indigenous people of the Malay race belonging to the seven ethnic groups, namely: Brunei, Tutong, Belait, Dusun, Murut, Kedayan and Bisaya. The local term rakyat jati refers to citizens of indigenous descent, in particular the aforementioned seven ethnic groups. The term bumiputera has also been sometimes used to refer to the indigenous peoples.

Definition
According to the Brunei Nationality Act, the indigenous people of Brunei are mainly classified into Malays and non-Malays. Indigenous Malays comprise the following ethnic groups:

 * Brunei
 * Tutong
 * Belait
 * Dusun
 * Murut
 * Kedayan
 * Bisaya

Meanwhile the indigenous people other than the Malays are defined in the First Schedule of the Act to comprise the following ethnic groups:

 * Bukitans
 * Dayaks (sea)
 * Dayaks (land)
 * Kelabits
 * Kayans
 * Kenyahs (including Sabups and Sipengs)
 * Kajangs (including Sekapans, Kejamans, Lahanans, Punans, Tanjongs and Kanowits)
 * Lugats
 * Lisums
 * Melanaus
 * Penans
 * Sians
 * Tagals
 * Tabuns
 * Ukits

Precedence
Being accorded the status of rakyat jati ('indigenous citizens') in Brunei carries with it certain benefits and opportunities which other non-indigenous citizens may not have access to. Skim Tanah Kurnia Rakyat Jati (translates as "Landless Indigenous Citizens' Scheme") is a public housing scheme which allows the rakyat jati people to acquire land and home in the allocated public housing estates. The Royal Brunei Armed Forces primarily employ the indigenous Malays. In the Brunei Constitution, the government ministers and deputy ministers must be of "the Malay race professing the Islamic Religion, save where His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan otherwise decides."

Concerns
The justification for these special privileges and affirmative action schemes is that the bumiputera or the indigenous people face disadvantages due to the success of other groups in society, for example the Chinese. One case of such disadvantage can be seen in the demise of the construction industry in Brunei. The building sector is a major employer of Bumiputeras and forms the lifeblood of many Bumiputera families.

According to Minority Rights Group International, the non-Muslim indigenous people are continuously "banned" from conducting non-Islamic religious activities, and "pressured" and "incentivized" to convert to Islam. It also claimed that the government policy and legislation discourage indigenous cultures and languages.

There is a lack of "opposition" to the bumiputera concept in Brunei due to the country being an autocratic sultanate and the lack of political diversity.

Miracle (Celine Dion album)

Miracle is the twenty-first studio album and ninth English-language album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released by Sony Music on 11 October 2004. It is a concept album credited to Dion and Australian photographer Anne Geddes. The songs were produced by David Foster. Miracle topped the chart in Canada and Wallonia (Belgium), and reached top five in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and the Netherlands. It was certified Platinum in the US, and Gold in various countries.

Content and release
Miracle is a part of a CD-and-book multimedia collection, with Dion's music providing the soundtrack to Geddes's pictorial book celebrating the joy of babies. The songs were produced by David Foster, who had not worked with Dion since 1999.

Among tracks on the album are cover versions of John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy", Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World", Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", Johannes Brahms's "Brahms' Lullaby", Nancy Wilson's "If I Could", Henri Salvador's "Le loup, la biche et le chevalier (une chanson douce)", and Carol Welsman's "Baby Close Your Eyes".

All other tracks are original songs such as the title track, which was written in 2001 for A New Day Has Come to celebrate the birth of Dion's son René-Charles, but the song was never published on that album.

Some tracks were previously released on Dion's albums, including "Brahms's Lullaby" on These Are Special Times and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" on All the Way... A Decade of Song. Live performances of "If I Could" and "What a Wonderful World" were available on A New Day... Live in Las Vegas. "A Mother's Prayer" is a solo version of "The Prayer", a duet with Andrea Bocelli from These Are Special Times. "Le loup, la biche et le chevalier (une chanson douce)" was performed live by Dion and Henri Salvador in October 2003, during the taping of 1 fille & 4 types TV special. However, this duet version was not included on any album.

Miracle was released in three different formats: CD; CD/DVD plus 60-page booklet; and 180-page hardcover book plus CD/DVD. "Je lui dirai", available previously on 1 fille & 4 types, was included as a bonus track in Francophone countries.

Singles
"Beautiful Boy" was released as the first single in North America and some parts of Europe. It was followed by "In Some Small Way" in the United States and Canada. "Je lui dirai" was released as a single in Francophone countries, while the title track was issued as a single in the United Kingdom and parts of Asia. All these songs were released as radio singles without accompanying music videos.

Critical reception
Miracle was met with mixed reviews. AllMusic said that "it's the quietest record Dion has recorded in a while, an unabashed adult contemporary album that keeps its gentle mood from start to finish, as if it were a prolonged lullaby. Dion tempers her vocal histrionics considerably — she still soars to the high notes, but there are no pyrotechnics, no showboating here — which serves this collection of standards and new songs quite well".

Commercial performance
Miracle debuted inside top 10 in many countries, reaching number one in Canada, Belgium Wallonia. It debuted at number four in the United States with 107,000 copies sold. It also debuted in the fourth position in France and the Netherlands, number five in the United Kingdom, number six in Switzerland and number 9 in Greece. Miracle set a record in the United States, spending 18 consecutive weeks at the top position on the Billboard Top Kid Audio chart.

It was certified Platinum in the United States and Gold in the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Belgium. Three months after its release, the Miracle CD has sold more than two million copies worldwide. The book/CD/DVD package has also been successful, reaching 500,000 copies sold.

Accolades
At the Juno Awards of 2005, Miracle was nominated in two categories, including Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year. Dion was also nominated for the Juno Award for Artist of the Year. Miracle was also nominated for the Félix Award in category Anglophone Album of the Year.

Track listing
All tracks produced by David Foster, except "Je lui dirai" by Erick Benzi.

Live at Blues Alley

Live at Blues Alley is an album by American singer Eva Cassidy, originally self-released in May 1996. The album was recorded live at the Blues Alley nightclub in January 1996. It was the last album recorded by Cassidy before her death in November 1996.

Recording details
Unable to interest a major label in recording her music, Cassidy cashed in a small pension she had accumulated while working at her day job in a plant nursery to self-fund this recording of herself and her live band, comprising Lenny Williams (piano), Keith Grimes (guitar), Chris Biondo (bass) and Raice McLeod (drums), with Cassidy herself supplying vocals and acoustic guitar. The Blues Alley venue was booked for two nights, January 2 and 3, 1996, however on the first night technical issues prevented the tapes being any use so all of the recorded material used originates from the second, Wednesday night's performance. Cassidy was suffering from a light cold through both shows and initially felt that the performances were not good enough to release, but eventually agreed after a previously completed studio take of "Oh, Had I a Golden Thread" was added to round out the package.

This was Cassidy's last release in her lifetime, but the beginning of her posthumous rise to fame. She died of melanoma six months after it was released, ten months after it was recorded.

Video recordings of a number of the same performances, virtually the sum of her recorded video legacy, were later released on DVD as Eva Cassidy Sings, and again (with slightly different track selection) on the DVD portion of the 2-CD + 1-DVD 2015 compilation Nightbird, of which the audio CDs include remixed versions of the songs from Live at Blues Alley as well as 19 additional tracks from the same concert, a subset of which had previously also been included on other posthumous Cassidy releases.

Music
Live at Blues Alley serves as an example of Cassidy's eclectic tastes, covering classic and contemporary artists from Billie Holiday to Sting, including Al Green, Pete Seeger, Irving Berlin and more. Her cover of "Fields of Gold" was a popular radio song and record companies used it to promote her material; in 2001 Michelle Kwan skated to the music of Eva's version of this song. "What a Wonderful World", the last song she ever performed live, retains one of the introductions that was not edited out, in which she dedicates the song to her parents. "Golden Thread", by Pete Seeger, was declared by Eva to be her favorite song in the album's liner notes and the song she felt had turned out the best on the album. It was not actually performed at Blues Alley but was recorded months earlier.

Reception
The album inspired attention from audiences outside of her local following in Washington D.C. Before and during the album's recording, Cassidy suffered many physical health problems, whose causes, at the time, were unknown. Three months after the album was released, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Unfortunately, she died three months later without experiencing her burgeoning musical career. "Her posthumous success," writes William Cooper, "has been astonishing, with worldwide critical acclaim and extensive exposure on British television that helped her album Songbird climb to number one on the British album chart in March, 2001."

Talk:Seven and the Ragged Tiger

Moving to proper capitalization
I am moving this to Seven and the Ragged Tiger, (note the lowercase "and the"), per WikiProject Music standards (Section 3, #10), and per the capitalization on the band's official site. Very nicely written article! Catherine | talk 04:00, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Videos
I am very curious about the following assertion:

The ["Union of the Snake"] video was one of the first to be filmed on 35mm film stock, instead of videotape.

Most videos before "Union of the Snake" (including Duran Duran's old videos) were shot on film (though I don't know if 35mm was commonly used). A few examples: Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio," Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This," Dio's "Rainbow in the Dark," The Cure's "The Walk." In fact, I think videos shot on videotape would be the exception (not counting videotaped footage from another TV show, which was sometimes broadcast as "a video" on M-TV). -- Gyrofrog 07:10, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Perhaps I didn't understand the source material correctly then; several of the books and articles I used as references made a point that this was a first for video -- perhaps there was a finer distinction on the 35mm part. Please feel free to find a better wording for the sentence.  — Catherine\talk 02:18, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I've removed the sentence. It had been reworded to read "The video, like many previous Duran videos, was once again filmed on 35mm film stock instead of videotape". As such, there is nothing distinctive about it and doesn't warrant a mention (at least not with this wording). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Clean-up
Most of the article's content is duplicated for some reason (perhaps an errant cut-and-paste). I have deleted the duplicate content. -- Gyrofrog 07:10, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"The Reflex" was #1 in the UK for 4 weeks, and for 2 weeks in the US, according to Billboard magazine. Where did the 5 weeks at the top statement come from? 76.22.201.109 05:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Trocadero

Comments from Wetman (2004-2005)
Editors with a certain level of retentive fixation who don't really read entries and have little thought for the reader are likely to make bumbles like separating Trocadero from Trocadéro. The two entries complete one another. Irritatingly obtuse. --Wetman 04:01, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC) - An anonymous user made a separate little article for each local Trocadero (which is fine) but deleted the material from this entry (which is not fine). I reverted the damage here. Some duplication of text at Wikipedia is no problem at all. Context is a concept not everyone seems capable of grasping. --Wetman 05:22, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * agreed, but not total duplication of content, this article should trim/summarise the main things in each club/restaurant and attempt to link them together, for example the external links can live in their own articles. clarkk 10:40, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Removing links, in this case, is like removing sources: they are the source of information in the text. Editor A removes them, then later Editor B removes the text, as "undocumented assertion" or somesuch. Does removing links service the reader? I restored them. Editing at the various local articlettes, will eventually turn each into a main article on its local subject. Meanwhile the amusing general phenomenon can be traced here, for those with a more-than-local horizon. And why not? --Wetman 17:42, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Because the fact that a few venues have shared a name is scarcely encyclopedic and this is not normal Wikipedia practice. It makes assumptions that this is significant which are unsubstantiated and unconvincing and breaches the rule that Wikipedia should have one article on each subject and generates inconsistency. You got the name of the ballet company wrong by the way, or at least neither you nor anyone else had corrected it. Anyway, I've just tidied things up a bit as I don't care much about this. I can't remember how I got from the Royal Artillery Museum to here, but that's how things happen in Wikipedia. CalJW 11:22, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I see now that some previous editor, in order to create a Trocadero (disambiguation) page, removed the opening paragraph, which I have replaced. No wonder CalJW was dumbfounded:
 * ''The Battle of Trocadero in southern Spain, a citadel held by liberal Spanish forces that was taken by the French troops sent by Charles X, in 1823, was commemorated in the Place du Trocadéro, Paris, and the monumental glamor of the Parisian site has given rise to a variety of locales bearing its name.

 * ''Consequently, Trocadero is the name of several restaurants and clubs throughout the world.

The subject of this article is "Trocadero"; it traces the apparent mere circumstance "that a few venues have shared a name" is in fact modestly significant. A good comparable article could trace Ritz, from César Ritz to Ritz Hotel, to "ritzy" to Ritz Crackers, as a kind of expanded disambiguation page. This page demonstrates that "Trocadero" is a kind of meme, though not to CalJW, apparently. No matter. With the restored opening statement, the sense is restored. The spin-off articles will develop their own weight: no reason on their account to impoverish this article now. "Normal Wikipedia practice" and "the rule that Wikipedia should have one article on each subject" are doubtless figments of an authoritarian training. --Wetman 13:46, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a wild and baseless personal attack that reflects very badly on you. I am passionately committed to democracy, but the issue isn't actually relevant. You seem to place great reliance on personal attacks and intimidation to get your way. CalJW 18:02, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The reader may easily judge whether this editor's motives are constructive in this particular case simply by looking for his name at the Page Histories of the multiple pages he created by attempting to disassemble this one: has any new information been entered in them?

 * All fixed now. Very tiresome to have to go through the two- and three-line fragmentary "stubs" to complete their references and make them full entries that make sense to the Wikipedia reader. Most articles can be broken into fragmentary "stubs" in this simple-minded fashion, paragraph by paragraph. The thoughtful method is to leave a condensed version of each removed section at the original article, with a Main article..." heading for the newly-created stub. This is a good deal of work, however, and requires some thought. --Wetman 23:44, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

 * "This page is a clear breach of the rule that we have one article on a topic. We do not need to versions of the same material that may become contradictory." (CalJW's edit summary in suppressing the general background information that isd actually the topic here!)

Now 100 percent disambiguation page
The information at the top was about the battle, the area in Paris, and the London restaurant. All the info was also in each article. The so-called Trocadero (disambiguation) dab page did not include restaurants, and both were mostly disambiguation and also mostly a mess. It even said the battle closed in 1965 (or was it the area of Paris?), not quite clear. If the editors from the above 2005 discussion want an article detailing the relationship between the battle, the area nad the restaurant, why not add an article Trocadero (name origin) or the like? No, never mind, I'll do it, but really the two articles should just mention that the name comes from the battle. Chris the speller 04:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * 100 per cent! Unspeakably brilliant! Now we're all in the dark, readers included, as to why the London restaurant might have been named Trocadero: see Trocadero (London). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wetman (talk • contribs) 12:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC).

Requested move 9 May 2024

 * Per WP:DPT, can you explain why, especially in the light of https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Trocadero? --Joy (talk) 10:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Trocadero/Trocadéro are insufficiently disambiguated. Both should end up at the same target.
 * No objection to leaving the dabpage here, moving Trocadéro to Trocadéro, Paris, and retargeting Trocadéro to the dabpage, if consensus determines that there is WP:NOPRIMARY. 162 etc. (talk) 01:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Género chico

Género chico (literally, "little genre") is a Spanish genre of short, light plays with music. It is a major branch of zarzuela, Spain's form of popular music theatre with dialogue, and differs from zarzuela grande and most other operatic forms both in its brevity and by being aimed at audiences of a wide social spectrum.

Historical context
Zarzuela was developed during the reign of Philip IV (1605–1665, reigned from 1621), who during the 1640s began to commission musico-theatrical entertainments on mythological themes mixed with popular peasant song and dance, from the writer Calderón de la Barca working with composers such as Juan de Hidalgo. These were performed at the Royal hunting lodge, the Palacio de la Zarzuela. During the next two hundred years, zarzuela, as these mixed entertainments swiftly became known, became the native-language alternative to the Italian operatic form nurtured by successive monarchs.

In the 19th century, the country's tense political circumstances affected zarzuela. Isabella II fell from power during the liberal revolution of 1868, and the country found itself submerged in a crisis at all levels: economic, political, and ideological (with various strands of socialism coming to prominence). Instability increased with the 1870 assassination of Juan Prim, President of the regency council and Marshal of Spain. For economic and other reasons, there was a sharp drop in theatre box-office sales, as most people could not afford the average fourteen reales for non-necessities. Such high prices, plus the national uncertainty, brought most Madrid theatres into crisis, and many - including the Teatro de la Zarzuela itself - came close to ruin.

The beginning
Against this trend, Juan José Luján, Antonio Riquelme and José Vallés, three actors, had the idea of splitting the afternoon at the theatre into four parts of one hour each, creating the so-called sesiones por horas, or "performances by the hour", which cost barely a real, and were given in down-market theatres. This kept the seats filled, since people came more often, due to low prices. Managers accepted the idea, needing customers.

They wanted to repeat the success of teatro cómico, an earlier phenomenon that copied Offenbach's comic model, and was brought by the theatre manager Arderíus to the Madrid Variety Theatre (with his own El Joven Telémaco — "Young Telemachus" — as the main draw). The comedic model for these featured zany, unpredictable plots based on myths, tending towards caricature and mockery of various topics such as royalty, the Army, and politics. They do so with pleasant, catchy music with a certain popular, erotic tone. Comic operas of this sort were nevertheless quickly eclipsed by the expansion of the género chico and became less popular after the mid-1870s.

Because of the need for short operetta-like works that could fit into one hour, the first performances were of old plays that were already popular, such as El Maestro de baile ("The Dancing Master", by Luis Misón, and predating the género chico by many years), or plays like Una vieja ("An Old Woman", Joaquín Gaztambide) and El grumete ("The Cabin Boy", Emilio Arrieta). These plays had originally been considered secondary and were programmed as such, beside larger, more important zarzuelas, but with a change of taste and the tendency towards nationalism and German opera, the Italian taste copied by the zarzuelas would fall out of fashion, whilst the character of these little plays shone for itself. With time, new short plays were written for this short format and jolly style, notably influenced by the comic genre (with suggestive titles such as La hoja de parra ("The Fig Leaf") or Dice el sexto mandamiento ("According to the Sixth Commandment").

It is easy to see that the goal of género chico is purely to entertain the audience. Unlike the serious, dramatic themes and complicated plots in zarzuela mayor, this genre presented simplified farces about everyday topics such as daily life in Madrid. This is why it was so successful with the public: apart from the low price, people could easily follow the plot and identify with the characters.

Development
The decade of the 1870s saw the genre consolidate itself, with numerous authors publishing, for example Miguel Nieto and his El Gorro Frigio ("The Phrygian Cap"), and Fernández Caballero's Château Margaux. The genre was now centred on a model similar to that of contemporary realist literature, mainly with the musical form of lyrical one-act farces.

The definitive accolade that the género chico would receive was with Chueca and Valverde's La Gran Vía, in the summer of 1886. The play, named after a major street that was then under construction through the heart of Madrid, was so successful that it went from the summer theatres to the Apolo, and was repeated several times. It incorporated a series of lively, unrelated one-act farces on current affairs. Federico Chueca was one of the most prolific and important chico composer-librettists, often collaborating with Joaquín Valverde Durán. His work includes El año pasado por agua ("Last Year Under Water"), Agua, azucarillos y aguardiente ("Water, Sweets, and Spirits"), perhaps the most popular nowadays, La alegría de la huerta ("The happiness of the orchard"), El arca de Noé ("Noah's Ark"), Los descamisados ("The Shirtless Ones") and more.

Another common model for these works was comparison of two places: De Madrid a París (Chueca y Velarde, "From Madrid to Paris") or De Getafe al paraíso ("From Getafe to Paradise", a two-act zarzuela by Barbieri, Getafe is a town close to Madrid), Cádiz (Valverde). Other important playwrights were Giménez, Joaquín "Quinito" Valverde Sanjuán (Joaquín Valverde Durán's son), Tomás Lopez Torregrosa (San Antón and El santo de la Isidra ["Isidra's Saint", Isidra being one of the characters]) Fernández Caballero (El dúo de la africana [The Duet from L'Africaine, a reference to the opera by Meyerbeer], El cabo primero ["The Headman", that is, the person in command], La viejecita ["The Little Old Lady"], and Gigantes y cabezudos ["Giants and cabezudos"]; named after popular Spanish parade disguises), Jerónimo Jiménez (El baile de Luis Alonso ["The Dance of Luis Alonso"] and its sequel La boda de Luis Alonso ["The Marriage of Luis Alonso"]).

One very important auteur was Ruperto Chapí, who spent his life oscillating between attempts to create a proper Spanish opera, and his modest género chico plays, which included Música Clásica ("Classical Music"), La revoltosa ("The Rebel Girl"), ¡Las doce y media y sereno! ("Half Past Midnight and all is quiet"), y El tambor de granaderos ("The Grenadiers' Drum").

Finally, one of the best-known examples of género chico was La verbena de la Paloma ("The Fair of the Dove", set at a verbena on the night of the Virgin of the Paloma, August 14) ;, by composer Tomás Bretón. This popular piece came about following several years of experiments by its creator.

The género chico was to decline in importance with the turn of the 19th century.

Performance venues
The idea of performances by the hour began in cheap theatres, the Teatro del Recreo being the first. Whilst the critics were harsh with the genre, it was a great success with the public and was adopted by a few more theatres, to the point where it took over the Variedades theater, which the decline of comic opera had left free, and which was already a venue of some note. But the most important venue associated with the género chico is the Teatro Apolo, opened in 1873, which, following the crisis in zarzuela grande, began to put on género chico, to overwhelming popular success.

The Apolo was considered the real bastion of the genre, and very famous because of the popularity of its fourth session, "la cuarta de Apolo", which was a night-time performance and was always full of dodgy characters, rogues and tricksters no different from the villains represented on stage. Outside of the theatres, the género chico was also performed in small cafés, and during the summer cheap stages were set up for plays. Indeed, the arguably most important play in the genre, La Gran Vía, was performed in this way.

Lyrical farce as form of género chico
The main model for género chico is the sainete lírico or one-act lyrical farce, thanks to the successful La canción de la Lola ("Lola's Song") by Chueca and Valverde, in 1880. Although other genres are also utilised, the most important plays follow this model. The sainete, established in its definitive form by Ramón de la Cruz, is the direct heir of the comic interludes or brief farces that were previously so popular. These are essentially short, independent pieces, with music and often dance. The género chico evolved from this form towards a relatively faithful portrait of everyday Madrid life, in keeping with the abovementioned Realism. However, unlike Realism, which lingers on the darker and murkier aspects of reality, such as poor, marginal sections of society and the violence running through them, the género chico, whilst dealing with low-class neighbourhoods and uneducated people, concentrated on the jollier, picturesque aspects of Madrid, such as the dialect of the characters, and their most jovial facets.

Moreover, as a unique characteristic of the genre, the constant presence of open-air parties, often at night, which appear at the beginning of the plays in order to situate them and at the end as dénouement.

Libretto
The plot is very simple, and sometimes barely holds up the play, which then relies on the scenes it creates. In the majority of cases, it consists of a simple love story with the same basic structure: a couple is in love but some outside difficulty prevents them from consummating their love (always, by marrying each other in a happy ending); this difficulty is overcome and the story ends with a public dénouement, a happy ending and an implicit or explicit moral (as well as asking the audience's favour at the very end). Beside this structure, stereotyped characters from the Madrid scene are brought in (Madrid is typically the locale for these plays): the cheeky chappy, the colourful anarchist who avoids making provocative comments, the idler, the scrounger, the flirt, the sententious old geezer. There usually aren't any educated characters; instead, popular folk wisdom is represented.

The género chico was always fiercely current: the actors make references (often in the songs, into which extra verses are added) to the outside world, with this "news" aspect of the play being even more important than the actual plot. There are mentions of politicians, external events and so forth, all as a way of connecting with an audience of humble culture. To this effect, the unity of what is going on in the play is broken, and the spectator is drawn in with the actors, without actually getting on stage.

The text is usually in prose, although some of the first plays alternate between parts in prose and in verse. Moreover, the language used is deliberately vulgar, with fashionable expressions and badly-pronounced foreign words and references. Jokes and other semantic aspects were not originally part of the sainete, but were subsequently incorporated by quinteros. The music was then justified by the text: people dancing in the street and suchlike. There is also theatre within theatre, as well as orchestra in the text. All these features aim fundamentally to create contact with the audience.

Music
There is disagreement regarding the relevance of the music itself. While some writers consider it always subordinate to the text in terms of importance, others such as Ramón Barce have theorised that the music comes first in the composition of the work; incoherent texts, called monstruos ("monsters"), merely gave the librettist a rhythm to which he must fit his words; these words were then often inexpertly fiddled with by the composer). In any case, the music does not usually correspond closely to the action, but rather is something in the background, sometimes coming in unexpectedly.

The musical part varies greatly in length, the plays with most music being Agua, azucarillos y aguardiente and La verbena de la paloma. Normally, the plays are preceded by a musical prelude, and occasionally have little intervals or music for dancing, and finish with a short finale in which the music from some previous scene is repeated. There are usually passages read over background music, in Singspiel style.

The music is familiar to the ear, popular and traditional, with popular or fashionable melodies of the time being taken and their lyrics changed. The aim is to have the ditty stick in the audience's mind after they leave the theatre. Furthermore, pronounced, popular rhythms are sought in the dance halls, generally imported but "nationalised", such as the chotis (from the German Schottisch, its ultimate origin being in Scotland), and many others, such as boleros, fandangos, or habaneras from Latin America, jotas, seguidillas, soleás, pasacalles, and waltzes, polkas, or mazurcas from Poland.

Talk:Peace and Truce of God

Topic sentence for first paragraph
"The Peace and Truce of God movement was a weapon in the Church's arsenal to Christianize and pacify the feudal structures of society through non-violent means."

Two questions: 1. Is the irony here intentional? and 2. Whether or not it is intentional, is it appropriate? I find the notion of a non-violent arsenal rather distracting and confusing, better suited to a pet thesis than a Wikipedia entry. Thoughts? Aventuremacher 19:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC) aventuremacher (Jonathan)

Thoughts on dividing articles
I'm expecting some obsessing fool to come along any day and create two Wikipedia entries. One for Peace of God and one for Truce of God. --Wetman 04:11, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * An even more obsessing fool would combine and create re-directs. Stbalbach 10:32, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Redirects are designed for the reader— who gets forgotten sometimes at Wikipedia. Extra, unnecessary redirects are harmlessly invisible. Conversely, information that's repeatedly divided becomes a litter of useless factoids. Assemble the meaningless fragments and you start to have a form of history again. --Wetman 22:56, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Gibbon
There are many translations of Gibbon, but there is no "right" version, even he continued to change and edit with each release during his lifetime. The Gutenburg version is from an 1845 edition by Rev. H.H. Milman. The Womersley edition is thought to be the closest edition to his original words, if thats your intent, but I bowed to the clarity of the idea as found in the recent Mueller edition. Stbalbach 04:27, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Why is Gibbon being quoted? The information he is providing is solely incidental. Unless there is historical evidence and analysis backing up the idea that the Truce of God or the Peace of God were indeed created in imitation of this pagan tradition it is just conjecture. That sort of conjecture misrepresents the origins of the name." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tempestswordsman (talk • contribs) 02:41, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Treuga/Tregua
This is the first time I see the Latin expression for Truce of God written as "Treuga Dei". So far, all the written sources I've read used the spelling "Tregua", inherited by Neo-Latin languages (Portuguese "Tregoa", Spanish "Tregua", Provenzal "Tregua", Italian "Trégua/Tréigua"... Catalan "Treva" and French "Trêve" show vacilation between W and V) and consistent with the W > GU rule followed in the Latinization of Germanic words (Walter > Gualterius, William > Gu[i]lielmus). Etimologia: tregua,triegua lists more variations (both ancient and modern) of the word, most of them more similar to "Tregu-/Trew-/Trev-" than to "Treug-". I'm inclined to believe that the preferred Medieval Latin word for "Truce" was "Tregua" rather than "Treuga". Cngsoft 19:13, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I've never seen "tregua" in Latin, it's always "treuga". Even a quick Google search produces nothing in Latin for "tregua dei", but plenty for "treuga dei". Adam Bishop 19:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I didn't want to bring Google to the discussion, but I actually searched those words before editing anything. Tregua Dei returns "about 1,250,000 for Tregua Dei" while Treuga Dei returns "about 12,600 for Treuga Dei". Cngsoft 20:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes but look at what the results are. "Tregua dei" is always Italian or Spanish or some other Romance language. "Treuga dei" gives results in Latin (or other languages using the Latin term directly). Adam Bishop 20:19, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * If you believe that "tregua" distorts the figures because it's the predominant form in Romance languages (whose origin is Latin) over "treuga" (that mostly appears in texts written in English, German and Polish, that aren't Romance) we can refine our search with two Latin words that no Romance language kept unmodified, "Pax" (Peace) and "Bellum" (War): Tregua Pax returns "about 45,300 for Tregua Pax" and Treuga Pax returns "about 510 for Treuga Pax", while Tregua Bellum gives "about 13,800 for Tregua Bellum" and Treuga Bellum gives "about 613 for Treuga Bellum". Maybe "treuga" and "tounge" belong to the same kind of typo. Cngsoft 14:10, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes but you are still getting mostly Spanish or Italian results that way...have you tried searching for the specific phrase "treuga dei"? Rather than typing in two random words? And anyway, this is mostly irrelevant. Have you checked any books or articles on the topic? The phrase is "treuga dei". Adam Bishop 18:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

 * If I hadn't read books and articles about this subject I wouldn't have ever cared about this article or the typos in it, and all those texts consistently wrote "Tregua Dei", no matter they were written by Manuel Ballesteros, Mario Procopio, Ernest J. Görlich or others. But a bibliography would be dismissed as easily as everything else I've already said, so I give up. The already existing redirection Tregua Dei should be good enough for everyone. Cngsoft 14:18, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Ballesteros writes in Spanish, so that's not surprising. Procopio presumably writes in Italian? I can't find anything by him. Germans usually seem to use "treuga" so I don't know why Gorlich would write "tregua". Du Cange's Glossay of Medieval Latin has it under "treuga" though. Adam Bishop 16:14, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Former duplicate stub article
During the medieval period the Catholic Church in Europe applied spiritual sanctions to limit the violence of private war in feudal society. The principal means of these sanctions were Pax Dei, "Peace of God" or Treuga Dei "The Truce of God".
 * Peace of God made violence upon holy sites such as nunneries and monasteries and upon members of the clergy as an excommunicable offense of the church.
 * The Truce of God set aside certain days of the year when combat was not allowed. Sundays and holy days were first set aside as days of non-violence. --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 17:48, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

2018 Article Renewal Project
Especially to those of you who have contributed so far in 2018, without signing in. Even though I edited your edits, they were excellent contributions to the article. I hope I have preserved their intent. And I hope you will be interested in overhauling this entry. It needs (and deserves) a lot of work.

Gibbon's Thesis, for instance, is given a lot of room above the fold and at best should be relegated to something more resembling a footnote. Meanwhile, the rise of Castelan culture and the roots of feudal violence in the Viking Age should surely be given more prominence and coverage. Fb2ts (talk) 17:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Start-Class yes, Low-important - far from it. Fb2ts (talk) 17:37, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

I propose, furthermore, that some effort should be made to make the article engaging to the average reader and that a fair number of the references cited should be relatively easy to find, in a library or bookstore. Fb2ts (talk) 18:01, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

How to restructure?
Hey everyone. I think this article could do with some reshuffling/restructuring. Currently I don't think it flows, and it's hard to tell what some of the sections are supposed to mean. Is Background supposed to be the history leading up to legal/social conditions for the movement? Why is there a quote in the introductory paragraph? I think moving paragraphs around and having clearer headings would go a long way to improving readability for this article. Gold Broth (talk) 19:57, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

 * I agree.
 * The subsection on saints and the cult of relics, in particular, borders on being unintelligible altogether, and its relevance is not clear. I shall see if I can find the time to improve it.
 * Nikolaj1905 (talk) 14:57, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I have made a few improvements and simplifications. There is still much work that needs to be done on the article, but this was what I had time for.

Wikipedia:Press Kit

There is also a Wikimedia Foundation press room, but this local press kit is here to give you more in-depth information about the English Wikipedia, one of many projects the Foundation supports (though it was the first and is currently the largest).

Basic information

 * About – A rough-and-tumble introduction aimed at new readers and new editors
 * Wikipedia – The encyclopedia article about Wikipedia
 * History of Wikipedia – Another encyclopedic article with deeper background

Frequently Asked Questions

 * 1) What is the difference between Wikipedia and other wikis?
 * The term wiki is a generic term meaning a web site where anyone can change any page at any time. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia in the form of a wiki. There are versions of Wikipedia in over 270 languages, including, of course, English.
 * 1) Then what is Wikimedia?
 * The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit corporation that oversees the community project. Wikipedia is the original, but now one of many, projects of the Wikimedia Foundation. Contact information can be found on the Foundation's wiki. Also see Wikimedia Foundation FAQs for more information about Wikimedia and donating to Wikimedia.
 * 1) Then what is MediaWiki?
 * MediaWiki is the name of the open source wiki software created by both volunteer and paid programmers to run Wikipedia. However, it is a general software package that anyone can download to start their own wiki on their own web server.
 * 1) So what is Wikia?
 * Wikia is a for-profit (commercial) wiki hosting service that is completely separate from Wikipedia and Wikimedia. The founders of Wikia are Angela Beesley and Jimmy Wales, both prominent in the Wikipedia community, but there are no formal ties between Wikimedia Foundation and Wikia, Inc. Wikia, like many other sites, uses the same MediaWiki software used to run Wikipedia.
 * 1) What is the proper way to refer to all these things?
 * 2) * Wikipedia is the main encyclopedia project. (Note that the definite article the is not used, unless one is referring to a specific language edition: "The German Wikipedia is the German-language edition of Wikipedia.")
 * 3) * The Wikimedia Foundation, based in the United States, is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that maintains the project
 * 4) * A wiki is the generic term for web site that anyone can edit, which may run MediaWiki or any of many dozens of other wiki software packages.
 * 5) * MediaWiki is the name of the software that runs Wikipedia, and many other independent sites.
 * 6) * Wikia is a commercial service, with headquarters in San Mateo, California.
 * 7) Can you give me some examples of proper usage?

 * 15) * RIGHT: "People should view the Wikipedia article for the latest information."
 * 16) Who are the administrators in Wikipedia?
 * Administrators, sometimes called sysops or admins, are somewhat of a misnomer. They are ordinary volunteers who have been around long enough to warrant having the capability to delete articles, protect articles and to block other users.
 * They do not have editorial authority in Wikipedia.
 * They do not speak for their respective Wikipedia communities.
 * They are not employees of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Is Wikipedia accurate?

 * A good summary of our collective take on this can be found at Replies_to_common_objections

 * Researching with Wikipedia gives an overview of our philosophy on how Wikipedia should be used by researchers. Readers need to apply critical thinking skills to everything they read – everything from Wikipedia and blogs to books and traditional encyclopedias.  People need to be aware of how what they read was written and who wrote it, so they identify reliable vs. unreliable sources.  In some cases, it's better to use Wikipedia as the first step in the research process, rather than the last step.
 * The community is concerned about this issue, and is trying to come up with ways to improve accuracy, including some projects to publish "stable" versions, either online, on CD or DVD, or in print. See Category:Wikipedia editorial validation.

Common misconceptions about Wikipedia
Some misconceptions about Wikipedia that feature in press reports:

 * Assuming that one person or group of people are "in charge" of particular articles. In fact no-one is in charge of any article and almost all have multiple authors. Those who contribute to a given page, or watch its development over time, are simply those who have become interested enough to do so.
 * Not realizing what a huge amount of information flows through the site on a daily basis. At peak times, there can be more than one edit per second.  The amount of information being added to Wikipedia — much less what's already there — is far too vast for any one person to check all of it. Fortunately, there are thousands of us reading it all the time.
 * Not understanding the scale of vandalism vs. useful edits.
 * Special:Recentchanges will show you recent edits, which is probably a typical balance.
 * Administrator intervention against vandalism shows you the scale of the annoyance – but consider what a huge number of edits we get every day
 * Many reporters seem to assume that when Jimmy Wales talks about ways in which the site might improve or change, that this is an announcement about something definite that will happen in the near future. In truth, many of these so-called announcements are actually just Mr. Wales attempting to summarize discussions that have been going on in the community for some time, and which may or may not actually happen.  You may wish to clarify these points with Jimmy, other Board members, or other sources familiar with the project.  You can also read for yourself about what's going on, including on individual policy pages in Category:Wikipedia editorial validation, the Village pump, Category:Wikipedia proposals, and the Signpost.

 * Please don't refer to Wikipedia as "Wikipedia.com" – although you can get to Wikipedia that way, the primary address for the English Wikipedia is en.wikipedia.org.
 * Our local newspaper, the Wikipedia:Signpost, has a weekly column on how Wikipedia is being covered in the press, including misreporting. You might want to check recent issues (in the archives), or some classic stories:
 * Media hypes Wikimania announcement that wasn't
 * Media praises, pans Wikipedia, uses it for corrections
 * Media still probing Wikipedia credibility debate

Dead Head (band)

Dead Head is a Dutch thrash metal band from the city Kampen. The band was formed in 1989 by the four original members Tom van Dijk (bass, vocals), Robbie Woning (guitar), Ronnie van der Wey (guitar), and Hans Spijker (drums). Their mission was to become the most intensive and brutal thrash metal band Europe ever had seen. They were influenced by classic thrash metal bands like Dark Angel, Kreator and Sadus.

They released their debut album in 1991, and have released seven studio albums and one 10 inch.

History
Dead Head were formed in 1989 and after releasing a number of demos, in 1990 they scored a record deal with the German company Rising Sun Records, who released Dead Head's first album, The Feast Begins at Dawn, in 1991. After the recordings for the debut album Dead Head did a tour through Denmark with Edge of Sanity and Invocator, and played in Holland with Sepultura, Heathen, Skyclad, Candlemass, Suffocation, Sinister, Gorefest, Malevolent Creation and Grave.

Their original drummer Hans Spijker was replaced by Marco Kleinnibbelink in 1992. With their new drummer Dead Head started working on new material for their second album which resulted in the album Dream Deceiver in 1993. Before the release of that album Dead Head did a European tour with the band Massacra. During the tour Dead Head played with big names like Kreator and Biohazard in Belgium.

Kill Division, Dead Head's third album was put together in the original line-up as they began in 1989. Altogether, this album represents the band's roots more than anything, maybe except from playing live. The songs were recorded totally live.

It took a lot of time to write a sequel to Kill Division. However, with their fourth album, Haatland, the band did what they wanted to do: put out a straightforward aggressive thrash metal album that came from their hearts. The recording began in 2004 and the album was released in 2005 to critical acclaim.

The band began writing songs for new material in 2007 while doing only a few shows in the Netherlands. In 2008 they signed a record deal with the label Displeased Records. In April 2012 Dead Head announced the returning of the original frontman Tom van Dijk.
