George Q. Cannon

George Quayle Cannon (January 11, 1827 – April 12, 1901) was an early member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and served in the First Presidency under four successive presidents of the church: Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and Lorenzo Snow. He was the church's chief political strategist, and was dubbed "the Mormon premier" and "the Mormon Richelieu" by the press. He was also a five-time Utah territorial delegate to the U.S. Congress.

Early life
Cannon was born in Liverpool, England, to George Cannon and Ann Quayle, the eldest of six children. His mother and father were from Peel on the Isle of Man. His father's sister, Leonora Cannon, had married future Latter Day Saint apostle John Taylor and was baptized in 1836. News reached the elder George Cannon and four years later, when Taylor came to Liverpool, the entire Cannon family was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; George Q. Cannon was 13 years old at the time. Cannon's siblings were Mary Alice Cannon (Lambert), Ann Cannon (Woodbury), Angus M. Cannon, David H. Cannon, and Leonora Cannon (Gardner). In 1842, the Cannon family set sail for the United States to join with the church in Nauvoo, Illinois. On the voyage over the Atlantic Ocean, Cannon's mother died. The motherless family arrived safely in Nauvoo in the spring of 1843. George Sr. married Mary Edwards in 1844 and had another daughter, Elizabeth Cannon (Piggott).

In Nauvoo, Cannon's father sent him to live with his uncle and aunt, John and Leonora Taylor. Cannon worked in the printing office of the Times and Seasons and the Nauvoo Neighbor for Taylor, who was an editor of both periodicals. In June 1844, Taylor accompanied Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, and Willard Richards and others to Carthage Jail. There, Joseph and Hyrum were killed, and Taylor sustained serious bullet wounds. Cannon tended the printing affairs while Taylor recovered. This training would serve him well in later life. Cannon's father died in 1845.

In 1846, Taylor traveled to England to organize the affairs of the church after Smith's death. Meanwhile, Cannon accompanied Taylor's wife and family as they moved to Winter Quarters, Nebraska. When Taylor returned, Cannon traveled with the entire Taylor family to the Salt Lake Valley, arriving in October 1847.

Church service
In 1849, Cannon was asked by church president Brigham Young to serve as a missionary for the church in California. This assignment involved working the mines and attempting to preach the gospel to gold miners. After doing this for several months Cannon and several other mining missionaries were asked to head to the Kingdom of Hawaii, where he served for four years.

Initially the missionaries in Hawaii focused on teaching European and Euro-Americans in the islands. Cannon was the first missionary to focus on teaching natives on the island of Maui. While in the islands, Cannon taught and baptized many Native Hawaiians. He also organized multiple branches of the church and on occasions met with government ministers of the Kingdom of Hawaii to get the church recognition. One of the most notable was Jonatana Napela, who assisted Cannon in translating the Book of Mormon into Hawaiian. Joseph F. Smith, a future church president, would follow Cannon and serve in Hawaii one year later. Cannon eventually was made district president over multiple branches in Maui. By October 1852 there were slightly over 900 members of the LDS Church in Hawaii with most on the island of Maui.

Returning to Utah Territory, Cannon married Elizabeth Hoagland (daughter of Abraham Hoagland and his wife.) He was almost immediately called to assist apostle Parley P. Pratt in publishing a newspaper in California. Meeting Pratt in California, Cannon was told that he would remain behind and became president of the church's Oregon and California Mission; he held this position from 1856 to 1858. During this period of time, Cannon published the Hawaiian translation of the Book of Mormon. In February 1856, he started the Western Standard, a weekly publication based in San Francisco.

Returning to Utah in 1857 to assist in the Utah War, Cannon was commissioned a Lieutenant General in the Nauvoo Legion. During this time, Cannon served as printer of the Deseret News while it was publishing in exile in Fillmore, Utah. After the Utah War, he was called as president of the church's Eastern States Mission.

Apostle
The murder of Parley P. Pratt in 1857 created a vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. That vacancy was not filled until Brigham Young called Cannon to the apostleship three years later. Cannon was ordained to the priesthood office of apostle on August 26, 1860, at age 33. Upon his joining the Quorum of the Twelve, Cannon was called to preside over the church's European Mission.

Cannon's mission in Europe ended when he was recalled by Young in 1862 to work in Washington, D.C., to assist in the church's promotion of Utah Territory's bid for statehood. At the adjournment of the 1862 congressional session, Cannon again left for Europe to preside over the mission. In this capacity, Cannon was the editor of the Millennial Star and, for a short time, the church's Welsh-language periodical, Udgorn Seion.

From 1867 to 1874, Cannon was the managing editor of the Deseret News. It was under his direction that the newspaper was first published on a daily basis.

In 1866, Cannon began publication of a magazine for youth and young adult Latter-day Saints called The Juvenile Instructor. He owned and published this magazine until his death; in 1901 his family sold the magazine to the LDS Church's Sunday School organization. The periodical was the official organ of the Sunday School until 1930, when it was replaced with The Instructor. Cannon also served as the first general superintendent of the church's Sunday School from 1867 until his death.

First Presidency
On April 8, 1873, Cannon became a member of the church's First Presidency when he was called as the first counselor by Brigham Young. Cannon went on to serve as counselor to three more presidents of the church: he was First Counselor to John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and Lorenzo Snow.

Although Cannon was the second-most senior apostle of the church after the death of Woodruff, Cannon did not become President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, as would be the practice in the LDS Church today. Rather, because Cannon was a member of the First Presidency, the church simply appointed the next senior apostle of the church—Brigham Young Jr.—to be the quorum president. (Under today's practices, Cannon would have been appointed the president of the quorum and Young would have been appointed acting president.)

Political life and plural marriage
Cannon was elected to be the non-voting delegate for Utah Territory in the United States Congress in 1872. He remained a congressional delegate until 1882, when his seat was declared vacant by the enactment of the Edmunds Act, which terminated many political and civil rights for Utah's Mormon polygamists.

Dispute in the 47th Congress
By 1880, Cannon had served four terms in Congress as Utah territorial delegate.

The newly appointed anti-Mormon territorial governor, Eli Houston Murray, openly supported the Liberal Party, which generally opposed church candidates. The 1880 territory-wide election for a congressional delegate brought the Liberal Party unexpectedly close to sending a representative to Washington, DC. The Liberal candidate, Allen G. Campbell, with 1357 votes, lost resoundingly to Cannon, who had 18,567 votes. However, before Governor Murray certified the election, a protest on behalf of Campbell was filed. The protest listed a dozen claims, chiefly that Cannon, born in England, was not a naturalized citizen but an alien. The protest also claimed that Cannon's participation in polygamy was incompatible with federal law and a delegate's oath of office. Murray agreed and issued certification to Campbell, in spite of his poor showing.

Cannon, in Washington at the time, argued that only Congress could decide on a member's qualifications. He furthermore received a certificate from sympathetic territorial election officials that stated he had received the most votes. That document convinced the House of Representatives clerk to enter Cannon's name on the roll and so Cannon began drawing the delegate's salary.

Both Murray and Campbell traveled to Washington to dispute the seat. Each side battled over the position for over a year, even after the assassination of President James Garfield. On February 25, 1882, the House of Representatives finally rejected both candidates. The House refused Cannon his seat on the basis of his involvement in polygamy. In the end, the House seated John T. Caine as the Delegate during the 47th Congress. Caine went on to serve for several years.

The issue brought unfavorable national attention to Utah, which contributed to the Edmunds Act being signed into law on March 23, 1882. The act reinforced the 1862 Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act by declaring polygamy a felony and also revoked polygamists' right to vote, made them ineligible for jury service, and prohibited them from holding political office.

Plural marriage
Cannon practiced plural marriage and was married to six women. Cannon frequently spoke in justification of the practice.

When the Supreme Court upheld the ban on plural marriage in the 1879 Reynolds v. United States decision, Cannon stated: "Our crime has been: We married women instead of seducing them; we reared children instead of destroying them; we desired to exclude from the land prostitution, bastardy and infanticide. If George Reynolds [the man who was convicted of committing bigamy] is to be punished, let the world know the facts. ... Let it be published to the four corners of the earth that in this land of liberty, the most blessed and glorious upon which the sun shines, the law is swiftly invoked to punish religion, but justice goes limping and blindfolded in pursuit of crime."

Eventually, Cannon went "underground" with others in the church leadership as a fugitive from the federal authorities. In September 1888, Cannon surrendered himself and pleaded guilty at trial to charges of unlawful cohabitation under the Edmunds Act. As a result, Cannon served nearly six months in Utah's federal penitentiary.

Cannon was pardoned in 1894 by U.S. President Grover Cleveland.

Death and descendants
Cannon died on April 12, 1901, in Monterey, California, at 74 years of age. Had he lived a few months longer, he would have become the President of the LDS Church: Lorenzo Snow died on October 10 of that year. Cannon was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Cannon fathered 33 children, some of whom are Abraham H. Cannon, John Q. Cannon, and Sylvester Q. Cannon, who all became general authorities of the LDS Church; Frank J. Cannon, Utah's first U.S. Senator; and Lewis T. Cannon and Georgius Y. Cannon, prominent architects in Utah. Some of Cannon's prominent descendants include Howard Cannon, U.S. Senator from Nevada from 1959 to 1983 and Chris Cannon, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1997 to 2009. Another descendant, George I. Cannon, became a general authority of the church.

At BYU football games, the BYU ROTC celebrates touchdowns with cannon named "George Q" to honor him.

Tropical wave

A tropical wave (also called easterly wave, tropical easterly wave, and African easterly wave), in and around the Atlantic Ocean, is a type of atmospheric trough, an elongated area of relatively low air pressure, oriented north to south, which moves from east to west across the tropics, causing areas of cloudiness and thunderstorms. Tropical waves form in the easterly flow along the equatorial side of the subtropical ridge or belt of high air pressure which lies north and south of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Tropical waves are generally carried westward by the prevailing easterly winds along the tropics and subtropics near the equator. They can lead to the formation of tropical cyclones in the north Atlantic and northeastern Pacific basins. A tropical wave study is aided by Hovmöller diagrams, a graph of meteorological data.

West-moving waves can also form from the tail end of frontal zones in the subtropics and tropics, and may be referred to as easterly waves, but the waves are not properly called tropical waves. They are a form of inverted trough that shares many characteristics of a tropical wave.

Characteristics
A tropical wave normally follows an area of sinking, intensely dry air, blowing from the northeast. After the passage of the trough line, the wind veers southeast, the humidity abruptly rises, and the atmosphere destabilizes. This yields widespread showers and thunderstorms, sometimes severe. As the wave moves westward, the showers gradually diminish.

An exception to the association of convection can occur in the Atlantic. Sometimes, a surge of dry air called the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) follows a tropical wave, leaving cloudless skies, as convection is capped by the dry layer inversion. Additionally, any dust in the SAL reflects sunlight, cooling the air below it.

Atlantic
Tropical waves in the Atlantic basin develop from low-pressure disturbances, which develop as far east as Sudan in east Africa, and drift across the continent into the Atlantic Ocean. These are generated or enhanced by the African Easterly Jet. The clockwise circulation of the large transoceanic high-pressure cell or anticyclone centered near the Azores islands (known as the Azores High) impels easterly waves away from the coastal areas of Africa towards North America.

Tropical waves are the origin of approximately 60% of Atlantic tropical cyclones and of approximately 85% of intense Atlantic hurricanes (Category 3 and greater).

Tropical cyclones can sometimes degenerate back into a tropical wave. This normally occurs if upper-level wind shear is too strong. The storm can redevelop if the upper-level shear abates.

If a tropical wave is moving quickly, or is organized enough, it can have winds of a strength in excess of tropical storm force, but it is not considered a tropical storm unless it has a closed low-level circulation. An example of this was Hurricane Claudette in 2003, where the original wave had winds of 45 mi/h before developing a closed low-level circulation.

East Pacific
It has been suggested that some eastern Pacific Ocean tropical cyclones are formed out of tropical easterly waves that originate in North Africa as well. After developing into a tropical cyclone, some of those systems can then reach the Central Pacific Ocean, such as Hurricane Lane in 2018. During the summer months, tropical waves can extend northward as far as the desert of the southwestern United States, producing spells of intensified shower activity embedded within the prevailing monsoon regime.

Screaming eagle waves
A screaming eagle is a tropical wave with a convective pattern that loosely resembles the head of an eagle. This phenomenon is caused by shearing from either westerly winds aloft or strong easterly winds at the surface. These systems are typically located within 25 degrees latitude of the equator. Rain showers and surface winds gusting to 29 mph are associated with these waves. They move across the ocean at a rate of 15 mph. Strong thunderstorm activity can be associated with the features when located east of a tropical upper tropospheric trough. The term was first publicly seen in an Air Force satellite interpretation handbook written by Hank Brandli in 1976. In 1969, Brandli discovered that a storm of this type threatened the original splashdown site for Apollo 11.

Minister for Finance (Australia)

The Minister for Finance in the Government of Australia is responsible for monitoring government expenditure and financial management. The current minister is Senator Katy Gallagher who has held the position since May 2022.

In the Government of Australia, the minister supplements the role of the Treasurer, being responsible for areas such as government expenditure, financial management, and the operations of government. The minister administers the portfolio through the Department of Finance.

The Finance Minister is in effect the deputy Treasurer (not to be confused with the Assistant Treasurer), as the Finance Minister acts as the Treasurer in the Treasurer's absence. Unlike the Treasurer, who by convention has been a member of the House of Representatives, the Finance Minister may come from either House of Parliament.

List of ministers
The portfolio was first created in 1977 by Malcolm Fraser's Liberal Party of Australia government as Minister for Finance. It was subsequently renamed Minister for Finance and Administration by John Howard's government in 1997, and as Minister for Finance and Deregulation by Kevin Rudd's government in 2007, then returning to Minister for Finance under Tony Abbott in 2013. It took on its current name under Scott Morrison in 2018; the Second Morrison Ministry removed Public Service from the portfolio in May 2019. The following individuals have been appointed as Minister for Finance or any precedent titles:

Notwithstanding Philip Lynch, John Howard and Wayne Swan who were Treasurers whilst serving as Finance Minister, two Finance Ministers who were from the House of Representatives, John Dawkins and Ralph Willis, then served as Treasurer. In addition John Fahey (served 1996-2001) had previously served as Treasurer of New South Wales when he was also Premier of that state and current minister Katy Gallagher had previously served as Treasurer of the Australian Capital Territory including when she was also the territory Chief Minister.

 * Morrison was appointed as Minister for Finance by the Governor-General on Morrison's advice in March 2020, with both Morrison and Cormann holding the position of Minister for Finance until October 2020, and then Morrison and Birmingham until May 2022. However, the appointment of Morrison was not made public until August 2022.

List of assistant ministers for finance
The following individuals have been appointed as Assistant Minister for, or any precedent titles:

List of ministers for administrative services
The first minister responsible for Administrative Services was Fred Daly, although the portfolio was titled Minister for Services and Property from December 1972 until October 1975. The portfolio was abolished with the resignation of David Jull on 25 September 1997 and its responsibilities were absorbed into the portfolio of Finance and Administration on 6 October 1997. The following individuals have been appointed as Minister for Administrative Services, or any precedent titles:

Ned Kelly (1970 film)

Ned Kelly is a 1970 British-Australian biographical bushranger film. It was the seventh Australian feature film version of the story of 19th-century Australian bushranger Ned Kelly, and is notable for being the first Kelly film to be shot in colour.

The film was directed by Tony Richardson, and starred Mick Jagger in the title role. Scottish-born actor Mark McManus played the part of Kelly's friend Joe Byrne. It was a British production, but was filmed entirely in Australia, shot mostly around Braidwood in southern New South Wales, with a largely Australian supporting cast.

Karel Reisz and Albert Finney
In the early 1960s, Karel Reisz and Albert Finney announced plans to make a film about Ned Kelly from a screenplay by David Storey. Finney and Reisz flew to Australia in October 1962 and spent ten weeks picking locations and doing research.

In January 1963, it was reported the film would star Finney and Angela Lansbury. The movie was meant to be Finney's next project after Tom Jones (1963) and filming was to start in March 1963.

The British arm of Columbia Pictures agreed to put up the entire budget. However, British labour union regulations required a mostly British crew, and the cost of putting them up in Australia put the budget beyond what Columbia were willing to pay. (Tom Jones had yet to be released.) Finney and Reisz went on to make Night Must Fall (1964) instead.

Following this, Finney was still meant to make the film. However, he and Reisz eventually dropped out.

Tony Richardson and Mick Jagger
The project passed on to Tom Jones director Tony Richardson, who wrote the script in collaboration with Ian Jones, a Melbourne writer and producer of TV drama and expert on Ned Kelly. According to Kevin Brownlow, Ian McKellen was originally set to play the lead but the producers went for Mick Jagger.

"I am taking this film very seriously", said Jagger at the time. "Kelly won't look anything like me. You wait and you'll see what I look like. I want to concentrate on being a character actor."

During pre-production, other filmmakers announced their own Ned Kelly projects including Tim Burstall, Gary Shead and Dino de Laurentiis.

Casting
The making of the film was dogged by problems; even before production began, Actors' Equity and some of Kelly's descendants protested strongly about the casting of Jagger in the lead role, and about the film's proposed shooting location in country New South Wales, rather than in Victoria, where the Kellys had lived.

Jagger's girlfriend of the time, Marianne Faithfull, had come to Australia to play the lead female role (Ned's sister, Maggie), but their relationship was breaking up, and she took an overdose of sleeping tablets soon after arrival in Sydney. She was hospitalised in a coma, but recovered and was sent home. She was replaced by a then-unknown Australian actress, Diane Craig, then studying at NIDA.

Filming
Shooting began on 12 July 1969 and took ten weeks. During production, Jagger was slightly injured by a backfiring pistol, the cast and crew were dogged by illness, a number of costumes were destroyed by fire, and Jagger's co-star, Mark McManus, narrowly escaped serious injury when a horse-drawn cart in which he was riding overturned during filming.

Unlike most film versions, this is the first Ned Kelly film to feature the writing of "The Cameron Letter", one of Kelly's lesser-known and rarely published letters that was written to Donald Cameron, a member of the Parliament of Victoria. The letter was Kelly's first attempt to gain public sympathy. However, Kelly's well-known letter, The Jerilderie Letter, is omitted from the film.

Reception
The film was poorly received at its opening, and is still regarded as one of Richardson's least successful efforts. It was effectively disowned by Richardson and Jagger, neither of whom attended the London premiere. As late as 1980 Jagger claimed he had never seen the film. Gerry Fisher's cinematography, however, has been praised for its craftsmanship — repoussoir, shadow, reflection and understated lighting — giving the film a melancholy feel.

Arthur Krim of United Artists later did an assessment of the film as part of an evaluation of the company's inventory: "When we programmed this picture we thought Mick Jagger would be a big personality with the younger audience. Unfortunately, his other film Performance came out just before Ned Kelly and failed. We have every belief that Ned Kelly will not do well either. In addition, Tony Richardson, the filmmaker handled the material in a very slow-paced manner and we have not been able to persuade him to make the cuts necessary to improve the film. This is again a case of programming a film in a time of much greater optimism about the size of the so-called youth orientated – particularly starring one of the new folk heroes."

A.H. Weiler of the New York Times said, "Ned Kelly bears all the signs of dedicated movie-making. Unfortunately, Mr. Richardson's direction and script, on which he collaborated with Ian Jones, do not delve too deeply into character. Nor are the principals' motivations projected with relevance to untutored American viewers. Ned Kelly, with intrusive, explanatory songs by Shel Silverstein sung by Waylon Jennings, emerges as somewhat pretentious folk-ballad fare that often explains little more than its action. ... Filmed in lovely colors on authentic Australian locales, Ned Kelly shimmers fitfully with varied beauties. A homecoming dance to a wild Irish reel is memorable, as are horsemen racing on a wooded hillside and a bare knuckle, friendly fight at a village fair. Equally impressive is the iron armor devised by Kelly as protection against pursuers. But these are colorful vignettes that only touch on but do not fully reveal the drama or the history behind the events." Filmink argued "Jagger was known as a wild child rock star but in the film played Ned Kelly as this languid… uh… I’m not sure what Jagger played Kelly as, to be honest, but it was not the same guy who sang ‘Sympathy for the Devil’."

Box office
Ned Kelly grossed $808,000 at the box office in Australia, which is equivalent to $7,716,400 in 2009 dollars.

Legacy
Ian Jones later wrote and produced (with his wife Bronwyn Binns) a mini-series on Kelly, The Last Outlaw, which aired on the Seven Network in 1980. Australian actor John Jarratt starred as Kelly.

The actual body armour costume worn by Jagger is on display at the Queanbeyan City Library, New South Wales, and the initials "MJ" are scratched on the inside. The head-piece, like its original, was stolen.

Soundtrack
The Ned Kelly soundtrack features music composed by Shel Silverstein and performed by Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings and produced by Ron Haffkine, with one solo track sung by Jagger and one sung by Tom Ghent.

Rasgueado

Rasgueado (also called Rageo (spelled so or Rajeo), Rasgueo or Rasgeo in Andalusian dialect and flamenco jargon, or even occasionally Rasqueado) is a guitar finger strumming technique commonly associated with flamenco guitar music. It is also used in classical and other fingerstyle guitar picking techniques. The rasgueado is executed using the fingers of the strumming hand in rhythmically precise, and often rapid, strumming patterns. The important characteristic of this strumming style is the fingernail (outer) side of the finger tips (as opposed to their fleshy inner side) is also used, and in such case, in reverse of the way it is done when the fleshy side of the finger tips is used, namely downward (index, middle, ring and little finger) and upward (thumb).

History
Prior to the 19th century, the terms battuto (from the Italian) and golpeado were sometimes used to describe the technique. Although originating in the classical tradition, the technique is most often associated with flamenco guitar. Andrés Segovia tried to remove the use of rasgueado from the classical school, considering it to have been developed "in the noisy hands of the gypsies". Its use in classical music is limited today, but examples of pieces employing rasgueado are "Asturias" (composed for piano by Isaac Albéniz but often played in arrangement for guitar), Manuel de Falla's "The Miller's Dance" (a farruca from The Three-Cornered Hat). It is also heard in the Rodrigo Concierto de Aranjuez. Modern applications of the rasgueado technique can be seen in Luciano Berio's "Sequenza XI" and Tristan Murail's solo guitar piece Tellur. This technique is used in the arrangements of Pepe Romero, Paco de Lucía and other representatives of the style of "new flamenco".

Technique
In contrast to ordinary strumming, which is usually done either with a plectrum, or with several fingers as a unit, rasgueado generally uses only one digit (finger, thumb, etc.) for each strum; this means that multiple strums can be done more quickly than usual by using multiple digits in quick succession. Furthermore the outer (fingernail) side of the finger tips that is also used and, as a result, in that case, the strumming direction is reversed from the usual one, so it's a downstroke for the four fingers and an upstroke for the thumb. Flamenco guitarists often build up their fingernails using layers of silk and superglue to protect the nail from breaking. There is some loss of tonal quality with this practice, but without it, rasgueado is likely to break most fingernails after a time. The wooden table of the guitar is protected from the reinforced nails by a plastic plate called a "golpeador" which is stuck to the front beneath the soundhole.

There are several types of rasgueado, but the two main divisions are those that employ the forearm and thumb in conjunction and those that incorporate only the fingers. Of course, both approaches can be combined to allow for the use of all digits on the hand.

Application
Application of the technique is generally required to achieve the rapid strumming and complex rhythms used in flamenco music.

User:Albnaose

Hi my name is Alberto Oses and this is my user page at wikipedia, well althouth I just register in October 2004 I have been wandering in Wikipedia since mid 2003.

About Me
Well I'm Chilean Lawyer with Civil law background, living in Chile, who works in the Intellectual Property area, specifically in a collecting society and have academics interests in environmental law and intellectual property law (including genetically modified organisms, commonly know as transgenics).

I really like the idea of Wikipedia because It's the best way to give the knowledge to the people.

Languages
My maternal language is Spanish (specifically the Chilean variant of it, and here you can find my profile in the Spanish Wikipedia) and I read, speak and write very good in English.

I also understand French and Portuguese (the last one, mainly because It is similar to Spanish), but at a lower level.

Contributions to Wikipedia
In general, I don't edit as much as I would want and I read much more than I edit (but If I find blatant errors I collaborate correcting them).

I want to help much more in the Genetic Modified Organism and Intellectual Property areas.

Vile (text editor)

vile is a text editor that combines aspects of the Emacs and vi editors. These editors are traditionally located on opposing sides of the editor wars, as users of either tend to have strong sentiments against the editor they do not use. vile attempts to reconcile these positions.

vile is an acronym which stands for "VI Like Emacs". vile 9.6 is featured in Chapter 18 of the O'Reilly book "Learning the vi and Vim Editors". An older version (vile 8.0) was presented in Chapter 12 of the O'Reilly book "Learning the vi Editor".

The program is also known as xvile for the X Window System, and as winvile for Microsoft Windows.

vile was created and originally maintained by Paul Fox. In 1996, maintenance was taken over by Thomas Dickey, who had provided many major contributions to the codebase over the preceding years.

Learning to use vile
Historically, vile's documentation has focused on differences from vi. This is in contrast to the other common vi-clones (elvis, nvi and vim), which have combined their respective extensions with the original vi documentation.

vile's documentation is three parts:
 * The online help file (type :h)
 * Specialized topics such as the macro language (text files)
 * Built-in documentation.
 * Tables of commands and other data
 * Dynamic windows showing register contents, mode-settings, etc.

vile is built from a combination of hand-crafted code and tables processed by a special-purpose program. The predefined information from the tables can be rendered in various ways, including showing the available commands, providing name-completion, etc. In other flavors of vi, the analogous tables are not distinct from the hand-crafted code.

In other vi flavors, the information shown is static, requiring interaction from the user to make it update. In vile, however, this information is dynamic—it updates these special windows as changes are made to the features they render, e.g., the list of all buffers in memory, the mode-settings corresponding to the buffer which has focus, etc.

While many of vile's features are now found in other vi-compatible editors, some of the most powerful were implemented before widespread adoption in the others. For example, multiple windows were early features in vile (and xvi) from the start. The same applies to reading from pipes, complex fences. Some of this is brought out in the O'Reilly book, though no careful study has been made of the way in which features are adopted and adapted across the vi and emacs variants.

Command completion
vile supports command completion for several elements of a command: the command name, filename, directory name, and mode values.

Major modes
Both vi and emacs have modes, which are settings which affect the behavior of the program. vile extends the vi modes such as list, number, etc., by providing three levels of mode: global, buffer and window. The buffer modes are associated with the buffer contents, e.g., line-terminators, read-only attributes. All of those modes are predefined. vile can be customized by defining majormodes, which combine specific settings of the buffer modes with an association to the file type. These majormodes have as well special modes such as the association with a specific syntax filter.

Syntax highlighting
vile performs syntax highlighting by running a syntax filter program which parses the buffer contents. Initially this was a separate program. However, to improve performance and avoid display problems, these syntax filters usually are compiled into the editor. Most of the syntax filters are implemented with lex (preferably flex), with the remainder in C to address irregular grammars such as Perl and Ruby. All of the syntax filters follow the same design:
 * Read from an external file the color- and video-attribute information into a chained hash table,
 * Parse the file according to the lexical rules,
 * Find the corresponding color- and video-attribute information for each lexical element, and
 * Write a marked-up copy of the file which is read by vile (via a pipe if the syntax filters are external programs, or via a function call if they are internal).

vile paints the markup information on top of the buffer contents using in regions delimited by line and column numbers. The markup is not attached to the underlying buffer contents. To update the markup as the buffer is changed requires reanalysis. This is done automatically when the user pauses.

History
vile has been under continuous development since 1990.

Report on Manufactures

In United States history, the Report on the Subject of Manufactures, generally referred to by its shortened title Report on Manufactures, is the third of four major reports, and magnum opus, of American Founding Father and first U.S. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. It was presented to the Congress on December 5, 1791.

It laid forth economic principles rooted in both the mercantilist system of Elizabeth I's England and the practices of Jean-Baptiste Colbert of France. The main ideas of the Report would later be incorporated into the "American System" program by US Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky and his Whig Party. Abraham Lincoln, who called himself a "Henry Clay tariff Whig" during his early years, would later make the principles cornerstones, together with his opposition to the institution and the expansion of slavery, of the fledgling Republican Party.

Hamilton's ideas would form the basis for the American School of economics.

Economic plan
Hamilton reasoned that to secure American independence, the United States needed to have a sound policy of encouraging the growth of manufacturing and ensure its future as a permanent feature of the economic system of the nation. He argued these could be achieved by bounties or subsidies to industry, regulation of trade with moderate tariffs (which were intended not to discourage imports but to raise revenue to support American manufacturing by subsidies), and other government encouragement. These policies would not only promote the growth of manufacturing but also provide diversified employment opportunities and promote immigration to the young United States. They would also expand the applications of technology and science for all quarters of the economy, including agriculture. In his report, Hamilton advocated rewarding those bringing "improvements and secrets of extraordinary value" to the United States. That contributed to making the United States a haven for industrial spies.

Tariffs
Hamilton reasoned that tariffs issued in moderation would raise revenue to fund the nation. The tariff could also be used to encourage domestic or national manufacturing and growth of the economy by applying the funds raised in part towards subsidies, then called bounties, to manufacturers. Hamilton sought to use the tariff for the following:

 * Protect domestic infant industries until they could achieve economies of scale and be able to compete with more established firms abroad.
 * Raise revenue to pay the expenses of government.
 * Raise revenue to directly support manufacturing through bounties (subsidies).

Industrial subsidies
Hamilton reasoned that bounties (subsidies) to industry, which would rely on funds raised by moderate tariffs, would be the best means of growing manufacturing without decreasing the supply or increasing the prices of goods. Such encouragement by direct support would make American enterprise competitive and independent along with the nation as a whole. In part subsidies would be used for the following:

 * Encourage the nation's spirit of enterprise, innovation, and invention.
 * Support internal improvements, including roads and canals to increase and to encourage domestic commerce.
 * Grow the infant nation to a manufacturing power that would be independent of control by foreign powers by relying on their goods for domestic, especially defense supplies.

Adoption by Congress
Though Congress refused to accept Hamilton's proposals in 1791 because of opposition from Madison and his supporters, much of Hamilton's third report would later be adopted by the US Congress despite continued opposition to the support of industry by subsidies. Both sides agreed that manufacturing independence was desirable and necessary but disagreed on how to obtain it. The Jeffersonian Democratic-Republican Party's main objection to subsidy was their fear that subsidy would lead to corruption and favoritism of certain sections of the new nation over others: the north over the agrarian south. That divide would return again and again in issues of economic policy until the outbreak of the American Civil War.

It is often thought that Hamilton's report was completely ignored, but "Hamilton worked to ensure that Congress enacted virtually every tariff recommendation in the report within five months of its delivery."

Hamilton's revenue-based trade policy, with its more moderate tariffs, meant that by 1794, manufacturers had switched their support from the Federalists to the Democratic-Republicans, who favored higher, more protectionist tariffs.

Opposition
Leading opponents of Alexander Hamilton's economic plan included Thomas Jefferson (until later years) and James Madison, who were opposed to the use of subsidy to industry, along with most of their fledgling Democratic-Republican Party. Instead of bounties they reasoned in favor of high tariffs and restrictions on imports to increase manufacturing, which was favored by the manufacturers themselves, who desired protection of their home market. Although the Jeffersonian stance originally favored an "agrarian" economy of farmers, it changed over time to encompass many of Hamilton's original ideas: Also, "the Madison administration helped give rise to the first truly protectionist tariff in U.S. history."

WikiProject Texas
I'm sorry. I did read your post. Most WikiProjects move slowly, for instance ther hasn't been activity at U.S. regions for over a month. I have seen your post and have begun research unfortunately I have been sick, then transferred over to a new computer, ect. so you see I have the interest its just a bad time.

My only concern with your proposal is that it could be interpreted as setting Texas apart from the South. Having Texas included in the South is something that people, at least in my part of Texas, have often had to fight for both with Texans usually from farther west and Southerns usually form South Atlantic State. We have been included and I don't wan to do anything to jepordize it. I'll try to dedicate more time to the article proposal by cutting info form other articles. It will help to flesh it out, of course ultimatley it will need a coherent style.

If you wish to make the project a notice board why not merely add the articles in question to the preexisting Southern Board i.e. History of Texas and Spindletop.

Also I think it would be nice at the Southern obard if we listed Southern articles that are already featured as example such as Galveston Hurricane of 1900 and Marshall, Texas. This could also help us maintain thier featured status. -JCarriker 14:23, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)

thanks for heads up
Cyrius, thanks for the heads up, I've responded to the VP comment. Fuzheado | Talk 03:22, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

0101CHANyf, etc.
Cool. I had noticed Fuzheado's 7/2003 project listed at School_and_university_projects, and that there are two current UHK ones also listed there, but the articles by the 0101s don't seem to match the assignment lists given (although the overall topics seem fairly similar). I think I'm just going to try to collect contribution lists from all that I can find from the articles of the ones I've found's histories, and go thru them for grammar and format as I have time, and hopefully Jiang or somebody can help with the transliteration where it's missing. Of the ones I've seen, they seem quite encyclopedic, thorough, and generally well worded and structured. I probably shouldn't have even mentioned the Dartmouth incident, since this is clearly a different situation--they seem to have been given much more effective guidance about what and how to contribute.

Futurama
I really question whether an encyclopedia needs an exhaustive biographical entry for nearly every character in a TV show. Fry's entry, for instance, is about 750 words. It could be precised in less than 100 words and incorporated in the main entry for Futurama, which indeed already contains the following entry: "Philip J. Fry ("Fry") - was cryogenically frozen just after New Year, 2000, and thawed out in time to usher in the year 3000."

Sealand - what did you do with the unique material in the German branch of the aritcle?
Okay, so you preserved the Talk page on the German branch of the Sealand article, but what did you do with the unique information contained in the article itself that does not directly relate to Rough Tower? I am referring to the information concerning the Berlin operation and German lands with ties to SHAEF, etc. MPLX/MH 19:11, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * You just deleted it? The majority take was to merge the contents which were original in content and context since they do not appear on any other site. I would have gone along with merge but to just delete seems very POV - especially since the German branch have the principalityofsealand.com name. If you send it to me, what do you expect me to do with it since so many of the people attacking the site never contributed information and a number of them have a POV religious sort of fanatical bias towards this subject? Even though I am the only person who has direct knowledge regarding the British government position, the fanatics don't want to see a record of the law either. So please tell me how do you expect this material to appear if mob mentality does not want it to appear? I thought that this was an encyclopedia of knowledge, not a propaganda device. MPLX/MH 00:18, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Obviously this has created a make-work situation. Why not a) create a separate article for material that in no way relates to the orginal (like the details concerning SHAEF, etc.), or b) merge the unduplicated contents in with the original. If I do this now that everyone has jumped up and down (without offering to help), then the same trouble makers will resume their tiresome nonsense. If you do it at least they will have a different target to attack. (A little Wiki humor from a worn out editor.) MPLX/MH 16:22, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

List of articles with VfD
Yes, I'm very interested. Because the downloadable database is a few days old, I write scripts to read off the category or links-to pages which cap out at 500, it appears. I assume I could run a SQL query, but I don't currently know how (I should look through the admin pages). I'd like a list of all articles with or the VfD category. Cool Hand Luke  06:16, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Are you getting these from queries you've run locally on the database dump? I've been meaning to do that myself, but I haven't installed MySQL on this windows laptop, and my Linux box needs work. At any rate, if you have a list of them, I could compare the names against current content of VfD and VfD/Old. Cool Hand Luke  06:43, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Any user subpage is good. Cool Hand Luke  07:05, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

OK, using the list you gave me, I produced output and checked the pages by hand, appending this list to User:Niteowlneils/LostVFDs. There are about 45 of these, although some are unresolved VfDs. A large chunk of articles weren't showing up before because they used an ancient VfD template from before categories, so this is a great improvement. Finding possible deletion debates for these old VfDs would be difficult: we'd have to go through the VfD archives history. Probably, it'd be easier to just all of them.

Cur table into MySQL
Now that I've overcome the de-compression problem, and have a 1.7G cur table dump file (I renamed it cur.txt), I am still having trouble getting it into MySQL, as you have apparently successfully done.

Questionable Behavior
User bnguyen has been removing all edits to the pages of Vietnamese & southeast Asian royal pretenders showing their questionable legitimacy and doubts about their standing. Most of this was previously fought out with user jimmyvanthach, tranvanba and celindgren, all of whose behavior has caused them to be banned from editing these articles. I find it highly suspect that there are now suddenly 'others' coming in making the exact same changes, pov refrences etc, without posting any credible evidence to back up their claims.

However, what is most disturbing to me, as I have never been one to put information about myself on-line, is the attempt by jimmyvanthach, now taken up by bnguyen, to assert that I am an American college student who was removed/quit their farcial little group. bnguyen even claims to have contacted the college of an old professor of mine to find "proof" of my identity. I find this extremely offensive, not only to myself but to the other individuals whose names they have posted here when it is quite outside of the subject matter (the lack of proof of the claims of these individuals). Considering that accusations of identity-theft have already been made regarding this group, I take this very seriously. It is fear of this that has caused me to never put any personal info online. bnguyen has repeatedly posted my alleged "identity" on edit summaries (not talk pages where it could be refuted) and I consider this totally improper. Any discussion about me should be about what I have posted, about proving what claims have been made, not about who said what. It is unfair to me as well as to these other people who have nothing to do with editing wikipages. 216.183.37.69 05:46, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)NguyenHue

Consistency on Deletions
I see you deleted the Tammy Imre article citing "consensus" on VfD...how large a majority counts as "consensus"?I continue to feel that there needs to be a consistent way of treating such articles,and if Debra Lafave and Mary Kay Letourneau get articles and don't get deleted,after similar notoriety for similar offenses,something is out of whack.As I noted in VfD I think the best course would be to make them all case histories in an article that puts them in the context of the offense,but I'm at a loss to see why any are more deserving of articles than others.--Louis E./12.144.5.2/le@put.com 12.144.5.2 19:16, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

What Is the Proper Language?
In the case of Burma, the last king died in 1916, for Vietnam the last king died in 1997. When someone claiming royal status, calling themselves things like Crown Prince and Prince Regent, and give out orders of knighthood and aristocratic titles, what exactly are they to be called if not pretenders? I was advised on the talk page for Shwebomin that the best thing to do would be to detail the problems with the claims of these people, showing exactly how and why they cannot be what they claim. These were repeatedly deleted so that only one side of the story was being told. I hardly consider that fair, nor do I see why I am being asked to disprove the claims of others. If you make the claim, it should be up to you to prove it. I also think it is totally inappropriate to discuss anyone or anyone's background other than the subject of the article in question.

Check Edit History
On every page formerly edited by user:jimmyvanthach who has been banned for POV pushing, is now having all of his edits restored by userBnguyen without providing any proof for their claims, simply adopting Jimmy's old tactic of posting it all as fact then challenging others to prove them wrong. On the edit summaries of all of these pages Southeast Asia Imperial & Royal League and British Committee for Free Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma and on the Duncharris talk page, Bnguyen has been trying to convince everyone that I am some former royal worshipper of this pretended prince. He has not touched any of the discussion boards, and has even done some behavior I would consider almost 'stalker-like'. I never post personal information about myself on-line, and I fail to see how it is permissable for this guy who obviously just joined to pick up pushing the same POV jimmyvanthach, tran_van_ba and celindgren have been banned for pushing, to try and make my name public, or the name of this kid he is telling everyone I am. It certainly has nothing to do with describing his edit reversions, or to anything in the article. Trying to make my name public, whether I'm Joe Cupcake, Nguyen Doo Doo or Harry, Moe or Curly, should not be tolerated unless I do it myself; and certainly not in an edit summary where it cannot be challenged or refuted.

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to... using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. So far over 90% of people who have responded have done this.
 * 1) ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
 * 2) ...all articles...

 * Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff.  So we use their licenses too.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the   template (or    for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace   with   . If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know at my talk page what you think. It's important to know, even if you choose to do anything so I don't keep asking. -- Ram-Man 16:25, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)

2. He was told by the Nguyen Dynasty to shut down his website and return all work that belonged to the Nguyen Dynasty.

3. The Copyright holder for the Cuong De biography is the Nguyen Dynasty noted here The Revolutionary Prince Cuong-De

4. This is true because NguyenHue points out above that the biography belongs to his Geocites site The Revolutionary Prince Cuong-De

5. He was instructed by the Nguyen Dynasty to again close his website but simply chose to delete photos of Prince Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh and all information related to Nguyen Dynasty because he was EXPELLED and kept WITHOUT PERSMISSION all biographies and research that was submitted by Nguyen Dynasty Scholars.

6. As shown here: H.I.H. Prince Nguyen-Phuc Buu Chanh and Nguyen Dynasty delegation with British government officials and princes of the royal houses of Laos and Burma at a meeting of the British Committee for Free Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma in Westminster Palace, London

Li'l Brudder
Hi. I noticed you deleted Li'l Brudder and Tendafoot from the Homestar page. That's fine with me; I only merged them in because they previously each had their own page, which was ridiculous. However, now we have two redirects that make no sense. I was thinking of putting them on redirects for deletion, but that sort of opens up a back door deletion which by-passes VfD (though come to think of it that might not always be a bad thing). Anyway, I'd like to keep them off VfD, where the Hometar obsessees will whine about the "Pokemon precedent" and whatnot. Is ignoring it and hoping no one cares that there's two meaningless redirects the best move? I imagine it's only a matter of time before someone notices they're gone and reinserts them one place or the other anyway. Also, as one-time "characters" don't need mention, isn't the Prince of Town one as well? Shouldn't he be included in the King of Town article? -R. fiend 19:42, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project
Hi. You've helped with the WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

RFC pages on VfD
Should RFC pages be placed on VfD to be deleted? I'm considering removing Requests for comment/Slrubenstein, Requests for comment/Jwrosenzweig and Requests for comment/John Kenney from WP:VFD.

Hurricane Opal
Oh...well, adjusted without inflation you would be right about it being the fifth costliest hurricane. I've gone back to the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season and made that clear that it's not adjusted for inflation, and also added information with inflation. bob rulz 05:13, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the link. However, since there is no inflation to adjust in the 2004 season, the wunderground link would make it seem that Jeanne, Ivan, Charley, and Frances that they would now be above Opal even when not adjusted...so I think that would make it 9th now. I've made that clear in the 1995 article.

 * I've deleted your duplicate page at Iwo, Nigeria and created a redirect to Iwo. There's no pressing need to move the page that I can see, so I didn't.

Vector space
I was going to try and get the rewrite done today, but I hit an impasse. Would you rather a layman's introduction to the vector space axioms seperately or try and explain what each axiom is about as it is introduced?

You wrote "In males, the second digit tends to be shorter than the fourth, and in females the fourth tends to be longer."

Hook echo
Glad you could use the hook echo image. I ran across the tornado article and thought it would be nice to include a hook echo image, so I found one at a NOAA site. I know that most image captions are very small, but I included a large description of hook echo (which I simply copied verbatim from public domain NOAA site) to make it sort of like a "side bar". However, with a separate article on hook echo, you are correct in that the caption description is longer than it needs to be.

I noticed that someone completely deleted the tornado article. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and don't know what to do about this. Wyatts 18:48, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Why "Herbert George Wells?"
It's not like it's a big deal... but no discussion on the Talk page leaps out at me... and surely "H. G. Wells" is the most familiar and most frequently presented form of the man's name. All of his work was published under that form of the name. Google: Results 1 - 100 of about 716,000 for "h. g. wells", Results 1 - 100 of about 44,800 for "herbert george wells" So, according to our naming conventions, shouldn't H. G. Wells be the article's name and Herbert George Wells be the redirect? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 20:51, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

On licensing photographs of artworks
Cyrius, thanks for your suggestion at the village pump on my photo for the article on Eversholt, Bedfordshire. That sent me hunting down UK law on the issue - I've left a note at the village pump.

A. Bartlett Giammati
When you reverted, you reverted not only TMC182, but also some rather painstaking editing I had done. I don't know the history of TMC182's copyright violations (or alleged copyright violations); you may well have had to revert him. But if he's repeatedly inserting copyrighted material into articles that are edited by others and then reverted, it might be helpful for you to bring him before the arbitration committee, as it's rather annoying for those who edit after him. In the meantime I'll try and fix some things I've previously fixed in the article. - Nunh-huh 00:35, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Oh, if he's blocked then, that's a good thing. You've already taken action to prevent the consequences I'd envisioned. Thanks for dealing with him.

2004 MN₄
Technically, titling the page "2004 MN4" is not incorrect, as the pure-ASCII form "2004 MN4" is actually quite frequent in astronomical use (the asteroid orbital data base, for example). In any case, in the WrongTitle template, you should really use the Unicode for subscript 4, which is &#x2084; or &#8324; (₄). Be aware that WrongTitling all of the unnamed asteroids of this type is going to be an arduous task...

Star Trek Synopse Copyright Fiasco
Do I now need your permission or verification to continue adding Star Trek synopses to Wikipedia? I was halfway done with season three of Star Trek: The Original Series when User: 64.26.167.34cantmakearealname cried that Wikipedia had more info about Trek than Memory Alpha and screwed everything up by adding the "quick overviews" from that website and spammed links to those pages. The pages now say Copyright Violation and I have to edit a temporary entry. I don't think I should have to do that since everything was kosher before 64.26.whatever screwed it up. Thanks Cyberia23 12:20, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I would like to add to this that your constant reversions of Requiem for Methuselah have no basis. I understood your original concern and rewrote the episode summary from scratch.  I did not copy the material from any webpage or source.  It is my own original work.  Please do not say I violated a copyright without discussing it.  The article has again been reverted to my original work.  Let us visit the Dispute Resolution page if you still have issues with it.  Thank you. -Husnock 27 Dec 04

Another Copyright Question
Sorry to bug you again, but I have another question or two about the copyright situation concerning the Star Trek pages and Wikipedia's policies in general... Isn't the content of Wikipedia "copyright free", as well as other Wikicoded sites like "Memory Alpha" for instance?

Since anyone can hop on here and add and change stuff I thought the information content could be used anywhere, which is why I've seen numerous "free" web encylopedias who just take what is on Wikipedia and put it one their own pages word-for-word and cover it with spam banners and pop-up ads so they can make a buck.

Since Memory Alpha's content can be edited by anyone and they are a Wiki-based site isn't what is on there also copyright free? If so, what is the big deal about taking what was on there and putting on Wikipedia as the anonymous user did? I'm not saying that's what I've been doing, I been writing my own material, but what is really the difference if the situation were reversed, i.e. someone from Memory Alpha coming to Wikipedia and copy-pasting what was on a Wikipedia Terk page and putting it on Memory Alpha as one of their pages? Cyberia23 08:58, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You said on the pump that the recent changes patrol is "turned off by default"; by that, did you mean it's a software setting in MediaWiki that's off by default, or a user setting on Wikipedia, that is, is there a way for me to turn it on for me personally, or is it turned off at the MediaWiki level? --Golbez 19:12, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
