Treaty with Tunis (1797)

The Treaty with Tunis was signed on August 28, 1797, between the United States of America and the Barbary State of Tunis. As the treaty provided in Article One:

 * There shall be a perpetual and constant peace between the United States of America and the magnificent Pasha, Bey of Tunis, and also a permanent friendship, which shall more and more increase.

The treaty is notable because of its religious language in the opening statement, namely recognizing the President of the United States of America as "the most distinguished among those who profess the religion of the Messiah, of whom may the end be happy." Because of the presence of this clause, W.C. Anderson makes the argument that Christianity is adopted by this treaty.

The treaty provided protection to Americans at a cost higher than the Treaty of Tripoli imposed.

The Treaty of Tunis was not only notable for the use of religious language in the opening statement, but it was also a treaty where the President of the United States got involved in the negotiation even after Senate action. The Treaty of Tunis had alterations on three of the articles. Articles that were altered are 11, 12, and 14. While the resolution of the Senate related only to Article 14, it was considered by the Secretary of State (Pickering) that Articles 11 and 12 were also objectionable, and changes in them were proposed, an interesting and early example of the control of treaty negotiations by the President, even after Senate action.

Article 14 in the original document read "The citizens of the United States of America who shall transport into the Kingdom of Tunis the merchandise of their country in the vessels of their nation, shall pay three per cent duty. Such as may be laden by such citizens under a foreign flag, coming from the United States or elsewhere, shall pay ten per cent duty. Such as may be laden by foreigners on board of American vessels coming from any place whatever, shall also pay ten per cent duty. If any Tunisian merchant wishes to carry merchandise of his country under any flag whatever, into the United States of America, and on his own account, he shall pay three percent." The percentage of duties (taxes) was changed from 10% to 6%. It now reads "A Tunisian merchant who may go to America with a vessel of any nation soever, loaded with merchandise which is the production of the kingdom of Tunis, shall pay duty (small as it is) like the merchants of other nations; and the American merchants shall equally pay, for the merchandise of their country which they may bring to Tunis under their flag, the same duty as the Tunisians pay in America. But if an American merchant, or a merchant of any other nation, shall bring American merchandise under any other flag, he shall pay six I per cent duty. In like manner, if a foreign merchant shall bring the merchandise of his country under the American flag, [null he shall also pay six] per cent."

Article 11 read in the original treaty "When a vessel of war of one of the parties shall enter a port of the other, she shall be saluted by the forts and shall return the salute gun for gun, neither more nor less. But there shall be given by the parties, respectively, a barrel of powder for every gun which shall be required for the salute." The altered version states this article as a request. It now reads "When a vessel of war of the United States of America shall enter the port of Tunis, and the Consul shall request that the castle may salute her, the number of guns shall be fired which he may request; and if the said Consul does not want a salute, there shall be no question about it. But in case he shall desire the salute, and the number of guns shall be fired which he may have requested, they shall be counted and returned by the vessel in as many barrels of cannon powder. The same shall be done with respect to the Tunisian corsairs when they shall enter any port of the United States."

Article 12 the only alteration was in the last sentence. The sentence read "The subjects or citizens of the two nations shall be protected by the government or commandants of the places where they may be, and not by the other authorities of the country. In case the Government of Tunis shall have need of an American vessel for its service, the captain shall freight his vessel, and the freight shall be paid to him according to the agreement of the Government, without his being allowed to refuse." The only change was in the wording and a phrase was added. It now reads "The subjects of the two contracting powers shall be under the protection of the Prince and under the jurisdiction of the chief of the place where they may be, and no other persons shall have authority over them. If the commandant of the place does not conduct himself agreeably to justice, a representation of it shall be made to us In case the Government shall have need of an American merchant vessel, it shall cause it to be freighted, and then a suitable freight shall be paid to the captain, agreeably to the intention of the Government, and the captain shall not refuse it."

Interests

 * Languages, right now studying japanese language. (I can speak in japanese, english, portuguese, spanish, the last 2 natively). Because of my native condition of 2 Romance languages, reading other romance languages such as French and Italian language is usually understandable to me. I specially like grammar, which could be thought as syntax and morphology
 * Reading. I read books of different sorts, and japanese comics commonly known as manga, but mainly due to my interest in the language.
 * Football. mostly interested in the World Cup, Copa América and River Plate.
 * History, I seem to particularly enjoy reading stuff that is old wars related, even though I abhor it.
 * I like listening to several musical genres, including electronic music (particularly trance, house), classical (mostly baroque music), alternative rock, pop, blues, jazz, metal, new age, punk, and more.
 * I'm a humanist. Some think i'm a feminist, but I don't consider myself that way. In fact I strongly disagree.

Award
I received an barnstar, so thought I could boast about it.

The Pembroke Hill School

The Pembroke Hill School (usually referred to as Pembroke Hill) is a progressive, inclusive, secular, coeducational, independent preparatory school for about 1,200 students in early years (age 2 years) through high school, separated into four sections: early years-prekindergarten (early childhood school), kindergarten-5th grade (lower school), 6th-8th grade (middle school), and 9th-12th grade (upper school). It is located on two campuses in the Country Club District of Kansas City, Missouri, near the Country Club Plaza.

History
Vassie James Ward Hill, a prominent Kansas Citian and Vassar College graduate born in 1875, gained a considerable fortune upon the death of her first husband, Hugh Ward, a son of pioneer Seth E. Ward. She then married Albert Ross Hill, formerly president of the University of Missouri.

At the time, Kansas Citians of means commonly sent their children to boarding schools on the east coast. Hill did not want to send her daughter and three sons "back east." She believed they should be able to have an equal education in Kansas City. This led her to research the workings of college preparatory schools, especially the progressive education of the Country Day School movement.

In 1910, using funds from 12 Kansas City businessmen, Hill founded the Country Day School for boys, which accepted both day students and boarders (boarding ceased in the 1950s). The initial enrollment was 20 students but grew to 52 within three years. It sat on what is today Pembroke Hill's Ward Parkway Campus, to the west of the Country Club Plaza at the intersection of State Line Road.

Three years later, Ruth Carr Patton and Frances Matteson Bowersock joined with Hill to found the Sunset Hill School, named after Hill's favorite area on the Vassar campus. Sunset Hill was located on what today is Pembroke Hill's Wornall Campus, south of the Country Club Plaza. At the time of its founding, the campus overlooked the Kansas City Country Club (today Loose Park). It also includes a portion of the battlefield from the Battle of Westport.

In 1925, some educators and students left the Country Day School to form the Pembroke School for boys. Their endeavor failed amidst the Great Depression, and the two schools re-merged in 1933 to form the Pembroke-Country Day School, keeping the Country Day School's original campus. It usually was referred to as "Pem Day."

Merger
From the start, Sunset Hill and Pembroke-Country Day worked cooperatively. Often, teachers taught at both schools. For generations, many Kansas City families would send their boys to Pem Day and their girls to Sunset Hill. School activities, such as plays and dances, often were combined, and Sunset Hill girls were cheerleaders for Pem Day's athletic teams. In 1963, the schools began coeducational classes in upper-level math, science, and languages.

In the early 1980s, the two schools began merger discussions, ultimately merging in 1984 to become the Pembroke Hill School. The class of 1985 elected to have separate graduation ceremonies. True coeducation began the next year. The former Sunset Hill campus became home to the primary and lower schools (then preschool through 6th grade), and the former Pem Day campus became home to the middle and upper schools (then 7th grade through 12th grade).

Recent events
In 1988, Kansas City Magazine notoriously published an article titled "A High School on Easy Street", criticizing Pembroke Hill's students' allegedly "advantaged way of life."

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Pembroke Hill completed a $50 million capital improvement project, which renovated both campuses. The Ward Parkway campus gained a new middle school building, Boocock Middle School (which now serves 6th-8th grades), a new upper school building, Jordan Hall, a new arts center, and a new library, the James M. Kemper Sr. Library.

In June 2020, the school announced the beginning of their "Building Together" construction project on the Ward Parkway campus. The $52 million project was completed in the spring of 2022. The renovation included changes to a number of areas on the Ward Parkway campus, including:
 * A renovated, single-level campus green
 * A new dining hall
 * A new athletic center featuring a competition and auxiliary gym. New bleachers and a press box back up to the athletic center.
 * An updated Hall Student Center with a larger lobby space for the performing arts.
 * A new skywalk connecting the dining hall with the existing Centennial Hall.
 * The removal of Pierson Gym which was converted into a green space on campus.

In 1997, 1998, and 1999, Pembroke Hill's boys' basketball team won the Missouri Class 2A state title. In 2000, however, in a nationally publicized scandal, the Missouri State High School Activities Association stripped Pembroke of the titles and placed the school on probation after the Kansas City Star revealed that promoter and AAU coach Myron Piggie had remitted cash payments to two of the school's star players, Kareem Rush and his brother JaRon Rush, to play on his "amateur" basketball team. Piggie admitted to paying JaRon Rush $17,000 and Kareem Rush $2,300, after which the brothers "submitted false and fraudulent Student Athlete Statements to the universities where they were to play intercollegiate basketball", certifying that they had not been paid to play basketball. As a result, the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Missouri found themselves subject to NCAA penalties for awarding athletic scholarships to non-amateurs. On Piggie's 2002 appeal from his prison sentence and restitution for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, mail fraud, and tax evasion, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit found that Pembroke Hill had "sustained a loss of $10,733.89 in investigative costs and forfeiture of property as a result of" Piggie's conspiracy.

In the Class of 2013, 29 seniors were recognized by National Merit. Of these 29, 21 or 21% of the class, are National Merit Semifinalists. Eight of the students are Commended Students. This number represents the second highest percentage in Missouri.

On September 7, 2017, Dr. Steve Bellis announced that the 2018–2019 school year would be his last as Head of School. Dr. Bellis served as the Headmaster of the Ward Parkway Campus of The Pembroke Hill School for 16 years. Upon his departure, Pembroke welcomed in Brad Shelley as the newest Head of School. Shelley was previously serving as associate headmaster at the McDonogh School, in Baltimore, MD.

According to The Kansas City Star, students at Pembroke Hill have "faced several incidents of anti-Semitic behavior at Pembroke." On the 2021 International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January, a swastika was discovered on a student's desk. The symbol was accompanied by an offensive reference toward members of the school's LGBT community. The incident was covered by citywide media and contextualized by prior incidents where one student raised his arm in a Nazi salute while calling a Jewish student an offensive name, and swastikas were painted on a Jewish student's locker. Several Jewish parents spoke to The Star on the condition of anonymity, fearing reprisals against their children. Following the incident, officials initiated a hiring search for the newly created position of Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

In April 2021, months after a swastika was discovered in a classroom, school officials found "KKK" written on the side of a desk. School officials hired consulting firm Sophic Solutions to "hold community conversations, complete a diversity and equity audit, and then present recommendations."

Tuition and financial aid
Tuition and fees for the 2020–21 school year range from $15,385 for students up to pre-kindergarten to $25,745 for upper school. About 25 percent of students receive financial aid, totaling more than $3.7 million each year.

In May 2007, the Malone Family Foundation, established by John C. Malone of Denver, Colorado, gave a $2 million grant to Pembroke's endowment, the largest single endowment gift in the school's history. The gift was used to create the Malone Scholars Program to give need-based financial aid to highly qualified students who otherwise would qualify for at least 50 percent in financial aid.

Assets and contributions
The school has assets of over $100 million and an endowment of more than $38 million. In 2013 the school successfully completed a $15,000,000 endowment campaign connected to its centennial.

Accreditation
Pembroke Hill is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The school is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).

Athletics
Pembroke Hill has a long athletic tradition. Its colors are blue and red, its teams are known as the Raiders, and its mascot resembles a Viking raider. Pembroke is a member of the Missouri State High School Activities Association.

Championships
Today, the school is a perennial contender for or winner of Class 2 state championships in boys' lacrosse, golf, tennis, and soccer; and girls' golf and tennis.

In 2006 and 2007, the girls' basketball team won the Missouri Class 3 state title. The Raiders lacrosse team won the 2009 Division II state championship, beating Eureka High School 6-5 after trailing 5–2 in the 4th quarter. The boys' tennis team also won the 2009 Division II state championship, sweeping all teams up until the final, where Pembroke won 5–2. In 2017, the Raiders won state tennis tournaments in both the boys and girls class 1 sections. The boys defeated The Saint Louis Priory School 5–2 in the finals, while the girls upended the defending champion John Burroughs School 5–4 in October.

In 2021, boys' golf member Ryan Lee won the Missouri golf championships for the second time in his high school career. Lee set a state record for the lowest two day score, firing a total score of 133 (67,66).

Rivalries
Pembroke Hill has cross-state athletic rivalries with two schools located in suburbs of St. Louis: MICDS and John Burroughs School, both in Ladue, Missouri. The Raiders' biggest rivals in the Kansas City area are fellow private schools in The Barstow School and Rockhurst High School. Pembroke Hill also has a rivalry in football with St. Pius X located in the northland of Kansas City.

Additionally, the lower school campus has facilities for racquetball, and the upper school campus is one of only three locations in Kansas City, Missouri (along with the University of Missouri-Kansas City and the Kansas City Club) containing squash courts.

Academics
Pembroke offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses in all academic disciplines, and approximately 90% of its graduates have taken at least one AP Course. 85% of Pembroke's AP scores are at a 3 or higher on a 5-point scale, and most colleges will give students credit for a score of 3 or higher.

Talk:The World of David the Gnome

Num episodes
I changed the number of episodes because my freind bought the series and it was 32 episodes long. However I'm not sure if all of them were aired. Feel free to change it if you know. --The_stuart 22:36, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC) I thought it was 26... Crucible1001

Mythology
I think a mentioning of the cartoon being influenced by Scandinavian mythology would be appropriate... JanderVK

 * IIRC Redcaps, what David and his family appear to be, were a particulary visious bunch in the folklore. So if someone wants to put in a folklore origins section, that might want to be investigated. StarkeRealm 07:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC) (EDIT: some day I swear, I will remember to log in before posting and signing.)

CBS?
In some discussions of the show, I have heard people recall that it was shown very early in the morning on CBS stations. Was this ever a CBS program, or was the station picking up a syndicated show?

26 or 32?
The article is currently claiming both, no doubt following the disagreement on this talk page - the first paragraph says 32, the box says 26. Any sources on this? -- Mithent 23:28, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Dutch Wiki sais there were 3 series, all together 52 episodes.... 82.173.112.171 (talk) 13:46, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Spanish speakers needed to help finish translation
I have added much more to this article from the Spanish wikipedia article of "The world of David the Gnome". Unfortunatly I don't know much spanish, and I mainly translated what I could with the help of an online translator. Alot more needs to be translated. Acidburn24m 18:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

IMDb lists this title as David the Gnome, not The World of David the Gnome. Move page? --Bensin (talk) 19:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No. The opening credits of the programme detail it as The World of David the Gnome. Leave it. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 12:06, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

reception; series ending
Saying how the series ends has absolutely nothing to do with reception, which is a section that should be describing how the public and various critics recieved the show when it was initially released. It also spoils the ending for anyone who may remember this show from way back, decides to look it up (and maybe watch it, again), and is unlucky enough to glimpse the one liner on how the series ends. This is in no way "helpful". Also, stating that turning into a tree is a metaphor for death, without citing a source, is a personal idea, and is original research.

Actually, the entire "reception" section has nothing to do with the actual reception of the show by the public/critics. Its just a bunch of miscellaneous facts, and more personal ideas with no citations.

Still though, Im concerned only about this line. Im removing the line, again. If someone is going to put it back, then put it under a more apt section heading, cite a source for the metaphor, and put a spoiler warning below the section heading. Its only fair to those who dont want the end ruined for them.

Furthermore, the ending is described on the list of episodes page, which is where it belongs anyway. Having it posted here in an unrelated header just clutters the article.

Alternate Versions of the David the Gnome Episodes
There are a number of scenes that were shortened or removed from the English-language version of The World of David the Gnome. All of the following scenes were shown in European versions, but were removed from the English version on Nickelodeon:

Good Medicine
 * The live-action footage of the "man made world of the city" was edited. The English version removes shots of heavily polluted water, a beach covered with litter, industrial waste, and a nuclear bomb test.
 * The scene where David is drying off after his bath was shortened to remove nudity.
 * A brief scene that shows a farm gnome urinating was cut.
 * An image of a gnome woman nursing twins was removed.
 * The entire scene with the trolls fighting and playing with a spider was taken out.

Witch Way Out
 * When David and Swift are going home through the forest, David talks about the mysterious creatures of the forest. In the Spanish and Dutch versions, an image of a water nymph (a topless mermaid) is included. This was also removed from the Italian version.
 * Part of a montage of scenes showing David's previous run-in with the trolls was edited. A scene where the trolls were grinding David on a wheel was removed, along with a scene where the trolls were tossing him while standing around a fire. A shot of a troll holding a knife to David's throat was removed. A scene where Lisa is in a cage with the trolls laughing was cut, although this same scene was later shown in another episode. Most of the intense scenes were also cut from the Italian version.
 * The scene where the trolls capture David and Swift is shortened. A brief shot of dead rats suspended by their necks was cut.
 * Any scene where a troll has dripping nose mucus was removed from Nickelodeon and TLC.
 * When the trolls put their feet in front of David's face, he pokes their feet with a metal tool. The English version removed the next scene where we see the trolls yelping in a pain (one has visible dripping mucus).
 * In the American/English version, Lisa put a chunk of "hyena fat" in the trolls' soup, to lure them out of their cave with its bad smell. In the original Spanish version, she used a chunk of asafetida, which had the same effect.
 * The English version also does not show Lisa producing a bottle of liquid opium before she pours it into the potion she makes for the trolls.

David to the Rescue
 * The scene at the first where Lisa shows the viewers her fancy dishes and some books was removed from the English version, probably for time.

The Baby Troll
 * During the scene where Lisa is talking about a gnome's clothing, a shot of a topless, blushing gnome girl appears. This was cut from the American/English version.

Little Houses for Little People
 * A scene involving the trolls was shortened. The shot of the trolls stumbling through the forest was cut because one troll had visible nose mucus.
 * The entire scene where David helps a young stag was different in the U.S. version. Originally, the young stag had horsefly larvae lodged in his throat. This was changed to less grotesque pine cones. A diagram of a large fly and how the larvae became lodged in the stag's throat were removed. In the original version, David holds up one of the objects he had pulled out, and the viewers can see it wiggling (obviously not a pine cone). The gnome procedure for removing horseflies from animals' throats can be found in the original book "Gnomes" in the chapter "Relations with Animals".

The Wedding that Almost Wasn't
 * Near the start of the episode, David tells about when gnomes first become interested in courtship. A scene of a young David blushing and looking at topless Lisa was cut.

To Grandfather's House We Go
 * The scene of the porcupine giving birth was shortened to remove a scene of her crying out in pain.
 * There are some minor differences in dialog in this episode too. In the English version, when the witch comes home, the cat tells her about his adventures. The viewers only hear meowing. The witch translates the cat's meowing as she writes down what he says on paper. "A big bad fox, you say? No, that's no good, let's make it a big bad wolf." She concludes her story by writing "Little Red Riding Hood" on the cover page. At the end she exclaims, "Oh sure, Little Red Riding Hood! Ha!" In the Spanish version, the cat meows, but the witch does not translate his meows. Instead she writes the title in English and says "Caperucita Roja", which is "Little Red Riding Hood" in Spanish.

Ghost of the Black Lake
 * Two scenes where trolls were shown with dripping nose mucus were removed. The first scene happens when Holler comes to wake up the trolls, and the second happens when the trolls are scared by the bear.

The Kingdom of the Elves
 * In most all international versions, there is a scene where Swift vomits after David gives him an antidote for poison. This was removed from the English version, but can be seen in the Italian, Spanish, and Dutch version.

Friends in Trouble
 * A scene where the mice are bringing home the insects for the birds is missing. In the original Spanish version, the mice come home and spit dead bugs into a bowl.

Airlift!
 * The rooster fighting scene at the start was much longer in the Spanish version. In the English version, the viewers mostly see David dodging the roosters' feet. In the original version, the roosters can be scene attacking each other in mid-air.

Kangaroo Adventure
 * In the English version, Prince Rex had stopped growing because he was allergic to his boomerang. In the original Spanish version, the prince had actually contracted a parasite from the wood used to make the boomerang. A shot of his insides with a crawling worm was removed, along with a close up of the boomerang covered with crawling parasites was cut.

The Careless Cub
 * At the start of the episode, the mother wolf and one of her cubs eat poisoned meat. In the Spanish version, she vomits before she collapses. This scene was missing from the English version. There are also several shots of the trolls with dripping nasal mucus in the Spanish version that were taken out of the English version.

The Mountains of Beyond
 * The scene where Swift is saying goodbye to the gnomes was shortened. In the U.S. version, Swift is not shown licking tears from the gnomes' faces.

When "The World of David the Gnome" was shown on The Learning Channel (TLC) in the U.S., all of the above edits were applied, along with these additional cuts:

Good Medicine
 * The scene where David removes a wire from a goat's stomach is shortened. His incision into the goat's skin is removed.
 * Most all of the scene where David extracts a splinter from a badger's eye is removed. The entire acupuncture procedure is missing.
 * A brief scene of Holler the troll is cut where he shouts, "I'll tie David to a wheel and spin him!"

David to the Rescue
 * David's explanation of little Gina's illness is cut. On The Learning Channel version, there is no mention that Gina was poisoned, and any reference to pesticides is removed.

Little Houses for Little People
 * The scene where David imagines himself and Lisa flying on a butterfly that catches fire is shortened. The scene is cut short before the butterfly catches fire.

The Ghost of the Black Lake
 * Some of the more intense images in the Black Lake castle were removed.

Young Dr. Gnome
 * Many scenes were cut or shortened from this episode including:
 * Jonathan throwing a rock at the hunter's dog is removed.
 * David extracting a bullet from the little deer is shortened.
 * After the surgery, David warns viewers that many woodland animals are becoming scarce in the forest. This entire scene was removed.
 * The scene where David tells the gnomes to bury the hunter's rifle is removed.

The Shadowless Stone
 * A short scene of dialog is removed. When David and Lisa first enter King Conrad's palace, Lisa tells David she can see the waterfall but not hear it. Their exchange of words is edited out.

The Mountains of Beyond
 * Most scenes where characters are seen crying are shortened or edited, including most of the scene where the gnomes say goodbye to Swift.

Sunthorn Kongsompong

Sunthorn Kongsompong (สุนทร คงสมพงษ์,, ; 1 August 1931 – 2 August 1999) was the de facto head of government of Thailand from 1991 to 1992, after a military coup d'etat led by Sunthorn and General Suchinda Kraprayoon deposed the government of Prime Minister Chatichai Choonhavan on 23 February 1991. The generals accused Chatichai of corruption, and established the National Peacekeeping Council (NPKC) as an interim administration, with Sunthorn as chairman. Anand Panyarachun was appointed prime minister in March 1991, but the administration of the country was also executed by the NPKC.

Sunthorn left the political office following the May 1992 constitution promulgation, which prohibited members of the military from executing the premier's office.

His son was Apirat Kongsompong, who from 2018 to 2020 was Commander in Chief of the Royal Thai Army.

non binary writers list
Question: Can you explain what you mean by "The "non-binary gender identities" list and category was created to separate from "genderqueer""?  ☕  Antiqueight  chatter 23:51, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * You can see detailed discussion on Categories_for_discussion/Log/2017_July_19, which resulted in "Category:People with non-binary gender identities" being created as a parent of "Category:Genderqueer people" because people who didn't identify as genderqueer were previously being categorized as such. There have been multiple requests and discussions to move the article Genderqueer to Non-binary gender identities but all "formal" discussions have ended up as "no consensus". - User:Brainy J ✿ (talk) 23:57, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism
Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 06:53, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Samburu National Reserve

Samburu National Reserve is a game reserve on the banks of the Ewaso Ng'iro river in Kenya. It is 165 km² in size and is 350 km from Nairobi. It ranges in elevation from 800 to 1230 m. Geographically and administratively, it is part of Samburu County.

In the middle of the reserve, the Ewaso Ng'iro flows through doum palm groves and thick riverine forests. It provides water without which the animals in this arid region could not survive.

Samburu National Reserve was one of the two areas in which conservationists George and Joy Adamson raised Elsa the Lioness, made famous in the best-selling book and award-winning movie Born Free. The Elephant Watch Camp, of which Saba Douglas-Hamilton is director, lies within the park. Samburu National Reserve is also the home of Kamunyak, a lioness famous for adopting oryx calves.

Habitat
Samburu National Reserve contains two mountains, Koitogor and Ololokwe, the Ewaso Ng'iro river (meaning "brown water") runs through the reserve and the mixture of acacia, riverine forest, thorn trees and grassland vegetation. The Ewaso Ng'iro flows from the Kenyan highlands and empties into the Lorian Swamp. The natural serenity that is evident here is due to its distance from industry and the inaccessibility the reserve had for many years.

Wildlife
There is a wide variety of animal and bird life seen at Samburu National Reserve. Several large game species common to Kenya's northern plains can be found in abundance here, including the following dry-country fauna: gerenuk, Grevy's zebra, oryx and reticulated giraffe. All three big cats, the lion, cheetah and African leopard, as well as elephant, Cape buffalo and hippopotamus.

Other mammals frequently seen in the park include olive baboon, warthogs, Grant's gazelle, Kirk's dik-dik, impala, and waterbuck. A black rhinoceros population has been re-introduced into the park after an absence of 25 years after heavy poaching.

There are over 350 species of bird. These include grey-headed kingfisher, sunbirds, bee-eaters, Marabou stork, tawny eagle, Verreaux's eagle, bateleur, vulturine guineafowl, yellow-necked spurfowl, lilac-breasted roller, secretary bird, superb starling, northern red-billed hornbill, yellow-billed hornbill, and various vultures including the palm-nut vulture.

The Ewaso Ng'iro river contains large numbers of Nile crocodile basks.

From 2005, the protected area is considered part of a Lion Conservation Unit.

 * Delete. There's nothing currently in this article that indicates notability to me - what major contributions has this school made that others haven't? Is this school a leading light in the region, or 'just another prep school'? Are it's alumni a list of the great and good, or just a cohort of anonymous businessmen? Average Earthman 12:45, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although the article doesn't say so (yet?), Pem-Day is among the leading prep schools for hundreds of miles; many of its alumni and parents are among KC's movers and shakers. Bbpen 17:06, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep Pembroke as an institution as well as it's beautiful campus are Kansas City landmarks. It's an elite prep school that produces many of the best and brightest from the area. Unfortunately the article would be better written by an alum or someone who knows it better than me.Pocket Rockets 21:02, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * And that, in a nutshell, is the problem with articles about high schools. Actually, a good working definition of notability for a school might be: Can someone who is not an alum write a good article about it? And is someone who is not an alum willing to do it? Are Pocket Rockets and/or Bbpen willing to step up to the plate? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 22:26, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Well put -- and well-challenged! Alas, I don't know enough about the school to write a piece off the top of my head. But if people will stipulate that the school would be proven notable if the article were fleshed out, why not leave it as a stub until a proper piece can be written? Bbpen 23:46, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete as it currently is written. Dpbsmith's comments are very germane here: is this school notable? Keep.  Tom Watson is enough for me.  Thanks for adding to the article!  --avnative 09:40, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
 * (I love how Dpbsmith provides a good working definition of school notability, too. . . and I agree.) Bbpen and Pocket Rockets mention facts that sorely need to be in the article.  There's gotta be some famous alums of more than local note from it, and maybe there might be something educationally or architecturally of note.  If these could be included and referenced, I'll be happy to change my vote.  --avnative 17:51, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep - RustyCale 19:35, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Don't wait until it gets notable before someone decides to write it again from scratch. It's a stub that needs more info from an alum or current student. --Andylkl 07:52, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Comment Article has been improved out of all recognition by 24.124.101.141 and I changed my vote to "keep," see above. The anon also removed the VfD notice which is a great big no-no, please don't do that again. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 11:56, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's substantially better. Keep it. DS 21:32, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep I improved the article to such a degree that it ought to remain. Sorry about removing the VFD; I am relatively new to Wikipedia and did not know that.  It will not happen in the future. 24.124.101.141 21:46, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Evan S. Connell went there? And how come we don't have an article about him? I loved "Mr. Bridge" and "Mrs. Bridge." Those are great novels. One of which was made into a pretty disappointing Merchant-Ivory film. And he wrote a great book about Custer, um, Son of the Morning Star. Didn't they make a movie out of that, too? And "The Patriot," a weird and scary book about a guy who is undergoing naval aviation training, which apparently at the time and perhaps now is extremely hazardous in itself. He is definitely a notable alumnus. I couldn't get into "Diary of a Rapist" or "The Alchymst's Journal," I should probably give them another try. A fine writer. Judging by "Mr. Bridge," he's sort of bitter and satirical in a gentle way about his boyhood. I wonder if the Pembroke Hill School appears in a fictionalized form in any of his novels?

 * Your "improvements" consisted largely of copyright violations . They have been removed. -- Cyrius|✎ 23:05, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * They are not copyright violations. Nothing in the other websites' fair use policies precludes using the text for Wikipedia.  But if you feel that strongly, write the history yourself.  I still vote to keep; the histories were obviously enough to justify the inclusion on Wikipedia.  Until you write what you feel is better, leave the article as a stub.  24.124.101.141 04:05, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Copyright law by default disallows us from using their material unless they explicitly allow us to. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:50, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Sorry, 24.124.101.141. You're having a rough time. You made a common mistake. It's not a big deal, try not to be offended by the short, brusque replies. What you probably should have done was to put a link to these sources here in the discussion and/or on the Talk page of the article as evidence of notability, but not to copy them verbatim into the article.
 * Under current U.S. copyright law, since the late 1970s I think, everything is "born copyrighted" whether it has a copyright notice or not and whether or not anything is said about copyright. The short story is that it's not safe to copy a more than about a paragraph unless what you're copying was published before 1923 or says specificially that it is released under GFDL, in so many words. See Copyright FAQ and Copyright to learn more.
 * "Fair use" is a minefield. A lot of people will casually say something is "fair use" which may or may not be. I've read a number of online guides by university libraries, which need to deal with this constantly since professors always want to photocopy things for class use, and the only thing that is clear about fair use is that it is never ever ever clear what is and is not fair use.
 * There's only the tiniest of chances that the Pembroke Hill School would have ever cared even if they found out about it. I'd certainly take the risk of photocopying something like this to hand out to twenty people, or putting something like this on my personal website, because there would be a 99% chance that nothing would happen and about a 99.99% chance that the worst that would happen would be that a lawyer would ask me to remove it. But Wikipedia is a fairly well-known website that is easily searched online, so we need to be careful. With hundreds of thousands of articles, if we're casual about copyrights violations there could be a real danger that someday we'd run into a copyright holder who would care and wouldn't be satisfied just by having the material removed.
 * Unfortunately, I've found that when I have specifically written to people for permission to release their web material under the GFDL the answer so far has always been "no;" most writers don't understand the GFDL and are scared of it. And, unfortunately, the GFDL does not allow us to include material with a statement that it remains the property of the copyright holder and is "used by permission." [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 13:14, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Yikes. Sorry if anything I said or did encouraged the copyvio. By the way, where did the item about Evan S. Connell attending come from? He should go back on the list of notable alums if it's verifiable. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 00:05, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Baseball (TV series)

Baseball is a 1994 American television documentary miniseries created by documentary filmmaker Ken Burns about the history of the sport of baseball.

First broadcast on PBS, this was Burns' ninth documentary and won the 1995 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Informational Series. It was funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Format
Baseball, like Burns' previous documentaries such as The Civil War, used archived pictures and film footage mixed with interviews for visual presentation. Actors provide voice over reciting written work (letters, speeches, etc.) over pictures and video. Episodes are interspersed with the music of the times taken from previous Burns series, original played music, or recordings ranging from Louis Armstrong to Elvis Presley. John Chancellor, anchor of the NBC Nightly News from 1970 to 1982, narrated the series.

The documentary is divided into nine parts, each referred to as an "inning", following the division of a baseball game. Each "inning" reviews an era, mentioning notable moments in the world and in America itself, and begins with a brief prologue acting as an insight to the game during that era. The prologue ends with the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" just as a real baseball game would begin, being performed usually by a brass band, with a couple of exceptions: The 1920s, where the rendition is played by a piano of the era, and the 1960s, where the rendition is the version played by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. In some "inning" episodes, a period version of the baseball anthem "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is used. Roughly halfway through each "inning", a title card appears, reading "Bottom of" the inning, dividing the episode into two parts in a manner also recalling the game; in the seventh "inning", the "Bottom" is immediately preceded by the "seventh-inning stretch". Within these halves of the episode, there are smaller segments also highlighted with a simple title card that often highlights various important parts of baseball's history. These often include player highlights, important or eventful games, or the creation of various brands that are now well known throughout baseball such as Louisville Slugger.

Original airdate: Wednesday, September 28, 1994.
 * 1st Inning – Our Game: This inning serves as an introduction to the game and the series, and covers baseball's origins and the game as it evolved prior to the 20th century, to where professional leagues make the game grow in popularity, and notoriety, throughout the growing nation.
 * 2nd Inning – Something Like A War: This inning covers approximately 1900 to 1910, and includes the formation of the American League and its integration with the National League, culminating in the establishment of the World Series, as well as the emergence of the game's first great stars, Christy Mathewson and Honus Wagner, who help to clean up baseball's previously bad reputation as a rowdy, brawling game. Ty Cobb is discussed in-depth (the title of this inning comes from one of his many quotes). Many of the quotes used in this inning and of the other early innings are taken from Lawrence S. Ritter's best selling The Glory of Their Times.
 * 3rd Inning – The Faith of Fifty Million People: This inning covers approximately 1910 to 1920, and follows baseball as it goes through its greatest era of popularity yet. It heavily focuses on the Black Sox Scandal, taking its title from a line in the novel The Great Gatsby. The line refers to how easy it was for gamblers to tamper with the faith people put in the game's fairness.
 * 4th Inning – A National Heirloom: This inning covers approximately 1920 to 1930, and focuses on baseball's recovery from the Black Sox Scandal, giving much of the credit to the increase in power hitting throughout the game, led by its savior Babe Ruth. The title comes from what sports writers called Ruth. During an interview given to MLB Network during the series' re-airing in 2009, Burns stated he originally wanted to title the 4th Inning "That Big Son-of-a-Bitch", a name given to Ruth by many in the game during that era. However, the companion book uses this title.
 * 5th Inning – Shadow Ball: This inning covers approximately 1930 to 1940. A great deal of this inning covers the Negro leagues, and the great players and organizers who were excluded from the Major Leagues. Also, the episode deals with organized Baseball's response to the Great Depression, as well as the sad decline of its most iconic star, Babe Ruth, and the emergence of new heroes, like Bob Feller, Hank Greenberg, and Joe DiMaggio.
 * 6th Inning – The National Pastime: This inning covers approximately 1940 to 1950. The emphasis here is on baseball finally becoming what it had always purported to be: a national game, as African-Americans are finally permitted to play Major League Baseball, led by Jackie Robinson. This inning also looks at how the game responded to World War II and how the game became, more than ever, a symbol of America itself.
 * 7th Inning – The Capital of Baseball: This inning covers approximately 1950 to 1960. Burns emphasizes the greatness of the three teams based in New York (the New York Yankees, the New York Giants, and Brooklyn Dodgers). This inning also covers one of baseball's golden eras and how America's own changes, such as leaving urban areas and heading west to more open suburbs, caused baseball to follow.
 * 8th Inning – A Whole New Ballgame: This inning covers approximately 1960 to 1970. As the nation underwent turbulent changes, baseball was not immune, as Babe Ruth's beloved record of 60 home runs in a season is threatened by a sullen and complicated player, Roger Maris, and for the first time in decades, pitchers, led by stars Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson, dominate the game. The loss of home run power and betrayal to the game's past, combined with the meteoric rise of football, cause many to turn their back on baseball. Expansion and labor are major topics in this inning.
 * 9th Inning – Home: The final inning covers approximately 1970 to 1992. While baseball survived the 1960s, the changes were not over, and in some ways, its most bitter conflicts were just beginning. Major topics included the formation of the players' union, the owners' collusion, free agency, and drugs, as well as gambling, scandals. However, the game manages to win back the hearts of many with such moments as the excitement of the 1975 World Series and the return of the New York Yankees to dominance. The documentary ends with an ironic boast baseball (and indirectly the World Series) had survived wars, depressions, pandemics, and numbers of scandals and thus could never be stopped. The 1994 World Series, the series to be played the year the film first aired on PBS, was cancelled due to a players' strike. This marked the first time since 1904 the World Series was not played.
 * 10th Inning – (Episode 1, Top of the 10th)
 * This two part, four hour encore presentation covers stories from 1992 to 2010. The first part discusses the labor stoppage of the 1990s, which disgruntles fans as well as Mark McGwire's and Sammy Sosa's pursuit of the home run record in 1998.

Original airdate: Tuesday, September 28, 2010.
 * 10th Inning – (Episode 2, Bottom of the 10th)
 * This two part, four hour encore presentation covers stories from 1992 to 2010. The second part spends a fair amount of time covering the steroid scandal in the 2000s, as well as the role baseball played in helping the nation heal from 9/11, and how the game, even in the midst of America's greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression continue to become as popular as it has ever been.

Original airdate: Wednesday, September 29, 2010.

Reception
Critics and audiences praised the series but criticized its length and detail. At 18.5 hours, the runtime of the series is one of Burns' longest.

The first episode more than doubled PBS's average primetime ratings with a Nielsen rating of 5.1 and an audience share of 7% but did not do as well as Civil War 9 rating and 13% share.

The Tenth Inning
At a preview screening of his 2007 documentary The War, Ken Burns spoke of the possibility of coming up to date in the history of baseball with a "Tenth Inning" episode of his Baseball documentary. This was officially confirmed by Burns in an MLB Network interview, and later to the NBC LA web site during the winter Television Critics Association media tour January 8. It aired in Fall 2010 and covered the period from 1992 through the 2009 season.

During in-game coverage of a Texas Rangers game during July 2009, Burns was interviewed, and said The Tenth Inning would air "about a year from now" on PBS. He also stated that it would be two two-hour programs. One would be the "top of the 10th", and the other would be the "bottom of the 10th". He also said that "the good Lord willing", there would be an 11th Inning and a 12th Inning in the future. His aim was to air the 11th Inning in 2020 opening with Armando Galarraga. Burns also said that Baseball is the only one of his documentaries to which he was ever interested in doing a "sequel" (of sorts).

The Tenth Inning premiered on PBS on September 28, 2010, narrated by Keith David. The Inning was broken into two halves airing on September 28 and 29, 2010. The documentary discussed the major stories that covered the period from 1992 through the 2009 season. It focuses heavily on examining the Steroid era and the many players who got caught up in it, but also discusses other major issues in baseball, such as how baseball rebounded from the 1994 strike largely thanks to the selflessness of Cal Ripken Jr. and other players, the return to prominence of the Yankees, the influence of international players (specifically Dominican and Japanese players) on the game, and the drama of the 2003 and 2004 American League Championship Series, which helped baseball, even in the midst of America's greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, become as popular as it has ever been.

Critical reception
David Hinckley of New York Daily News wrote, "Ken Burns hits another one out of the park."

2020 Re-airing
The complete series (including the Tenth Inning segments) was streamed online for free by PBS during the shortened 2020 Major League Baseball season, starting on what would have been the regular opening day for the season, hoping to "fill the void" left by the lack of baseball. In a video message posted the Sunday prior, Ken Burns confirmed the following: "As we hunker down in the days ahead, it’s important that we find things that bring us together and show us our common humanity. That’s why, in the absence of many of our favorite sports, I’ve asked PBS — that’s the Public Broadcasting Service — to stream my film about America’s pastime, ‘Baseball.’ Stay healthy and let’s look after each other. Play ball."
