Wormhole X-Treme!

"Wormhole X-Treme!" is the 100th episode of military science fiction adventure television show Stargate SG-1 and is the 12th episode of the fifth season. The episode was first broadcast September 8, 2001 on Showtime in the United States. It was written by series co-creator and executive producer Brad Wright along with supervising producers Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie and was directed by Peter DeLuise.

In the episode, Stargate Command learns that an alien ship belonging to the same race as Martin Lloyd is heading for Earth. They locate Martin, who having once again lost his memories has created a television series called Wormhole X-Treme!, seemingly based upon the top secret Stargate Program.

The story centres around a show-within-a-show called Wormhole X-Treme! which parodies Stargate SG-1. In creating the episode, Wright and all those involved sought to create a comedic episode that celebrated the show through parody, cameo appearances, inside and metafictional jokes and references. The episode is a sequel to "Point of No Return" from the shows fourth season. The season ten episode "200" follows up on characters and events from the episode.

Plot
An alien space ship has been detected heading towards Earth, and based upon its energy signature Major Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) believes that it belongs to the same species of people as Martin Lloyd, who Stargate Command set about locating. They find Martin, who has become the creative consultant on a science fiction television show he sold called Wormhole X-Treme!, which bears a striking resemblance to the real life top secret Stargate Program. Under the guise of being the shows Air Force consultant, Colonel Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is sent to the studio where Martin is working on the show in order to learn what he can from him about the inbound ship. O'Neill reintroduces himself to Martin (Willie Garson), who despite having previously met, claims not to remember him.

Believing that Martin has once again had his memory erased, O'Neill searches his trailer and uncovers numerous vitamins, which he relays back to General Hammond (Don S. Davis) at Stargate Command, who dispatches the rest of SG-1 to assist. Soon Dr. Fraiser (Teryl Rothery) determines that the vitamins found contain the chemical used by Tanner, another member of Martin's race who was previously responsible for drugging him. Meanwhile, Carter and Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) establish that, also like last time, surveillance devices have been setup around Martin's house. After their attempt to apprehend one of Tanner's men fails, Carter and Daniel's lead takes them to a warehouse filled with government agents.

O'Neill and Martin are captured by Tanner (Robert Lewis) and his men, who administer Martin with an antidote to restore his memories. As his memories return, he tells O'Neill that he drugged himself in order to forget everything that had happened to him. The pair are soon freed by Teal'c (Christopher Judge) and Martin realizes that he needs to help Tanner's group escape Earth by getting the remote device for their ship. Meanwhile NID Agent Barrett (Peter Flemming), whose men have apprehended Carter and Daniel, tells them that they plan on seizing the space ship, and soon receive a tip as to Martin's whereabouts. With Barrett gone, Carter and Daniel overpower the remaining NID agents and contact O'Neill warning him that the NID are on there way. O'Neill procures the device and Tanner persuades him to relinquish it to they can flee Earth and the NID. Content with his new life, Martin decides to stay on Earth and Tanner and his men teleport to the ship before the NID can get to them.

Development
The initial idea for the story came from series co-creator and executive producer Brad Wright. He imagined the character of Martin Lloyd, who had previously appeared in the season four episode "Point of No Return" as having once again lost his memory, leading him to make a television series like SG-1. According to Wright, the story "was something I would never have done in a million years unless it was the one-hundredth episode". After Wright had outlined the story, writing duo Joseph Mallozzi & Paul Mullie were assigned to pen the script, although they initially thought Wright was joking when he pitched them the story. Wright believed one of the things fans found attractive in Stargate SG-1 was the fact that the show didn't take itself "too seriously". Instead of a typical episode, the writers looked to produce a more comedic story, celebrating the milestone. The 1999 Science fiction comedy film Galaxy Quest enthused Wright and the shows writers to instead craft a story that parodied Stargate SG-1.

In developing their script, Mullie found that they had no shortage of jokes, however "The hard part was finding an excuse for the humour to happen". Mullie wanted to ensure the episode still meant something and had "an actual Stargate story underneath all of the parody". Once the shows production team found out about the nature of the episode, Mallozzi recalled "So many people wanted to add so much", and would pitch them material. As writing progressed it was the idea that Martin Lloyd had purposely decided to erase his own memory which "made certain events fall into place" for Mallozzi and Mullie.

There were conversations about how far to push the parody elements of the episode. Visual effects supervisor James Tichnor had hoped they would also be able to include "corny" computer generated effects, citing the invading spaceships in the film Mars Attacks! as an idea, however Wright still wanted to maintain a level of realism within the episode. The visual effects team were able to include some smaller scale gags, such as paying homage to the original Star Trek transporter effect at the end of the episode.

Writing
Events that had taken place both on and off screen in the show and its production helped inform numerous scenes. Peter Deluise's earlier directorial decision to ask the props master to "Make the kiwi look alien", suggesting they be painted red during the production of "Beneath the Surface", was written directly into "Wormhole X-Treme!" Another choice by DeLuise to have Jack O'Neill kill what he was later told was "too many Jaffa" and then step over their dead bodies in the episode "The Fifth Man" informed having Danning/Marlowe's struggle to navigate a kissing scene whilst surrounded by dead bodies. The president of MGM Television, Hank Cohen, was also mocked for his advocacy that the show introduce a "sexy" female alien character, which ultimately took the form of Anise portrayed by actress Vanessa Angel. Mullie felt that the character "didn't quite work out" and as "a dig at him" he wrote that an executive would make the same suggestion. Cohen was ultimately given a cameo in the episode, delivering the line. Mullie had neither expected the joke to remain in the episode, nor for Cohen to be the one who delivered it.

The writers also took aim at other elements of Stargate and science fiction in general storytelling. The recurring Goa'uld weapon, the Zat'nik'tel, which Mallozzi described as weapon of "connivence" and used the opportunity to lampoon its ability to disintegrate targets upon the third shot. Additionally, during filming, DeLuise had the Wormhole X-Treme! team perform what the shows production mockingly referred to as the "jerky" or "twitchy" dance after being shot, something that the main cast of SG-1 had become reluctant to do after being "zatted" as the show progressed over the years. The science fiction trope of characters being out of phase was also made fun of, as were the SG-1 conceits of everyone speaking English and having the same concept of time as Earth.

Some scenes and ideas were dropped during development. This included Wright's idea for a "huge, knock down, full-on, comically-big fight scene" showing Carter and Daniel's escape from the NID. Wright dropped the scene as he was concerned they were "in danger of going too far" in sending themselves up. A scene referencing the ongoing will-they-won't-they romance between Jack O'Neill and Samantha Carter was also written but ultimately dropped. According to Mallozzi the scene would have involved Martin expressing his desire to have two of his main characters in a relationship, but being unable to do so due to their position in the military - mirroring the O'Neill/Carter relationship. O'Neill would have gone on to reference the events of the SG-1 episode "Beneath the Surface", with Martin responding: "I can’t do that! That’s a Voyager episode!"

Cast and characters

Willie Garson returns as the alien refugee Martin Lloyd, first introduced in "Point of No Return". Robert Lewis and Mar Andersons reprise their roles from "Point of No Return" as the alien refugees hiding on Earth, Dr. Peter Tanner and Bob. Matthew Bennett who had previously portrayed one of the alien refugees was unable to return.

The character of Nick Marlowe, who portrays Colonel Danning in Wormhole X-Treme! was originally based on Richard Dean Anderson's Stargate SG-1 character Colonel Jack O'Neill. The part of Marlowe/Danning was first offered to Jeff Probst and then to Robert Hays. After being unable to secure either actor, the part was opened up to auditions, before Brad Wright suggested Michael DeLuise, brother of Peter DeLuise. After accepting the part, Michael was sent a tape of Richard Dean Anderson's work on the show; however, Michael with the support of director Peter, instead looked to the performances of William Shatner and his depiction of Captain James Kirk from Star Trek for inspiration. As well as imbuing the character with "Shatnerisms," Michael sought to portray Danning as an "over-the-top TV hero" and Marlowe as a "pissy, self-absorbed actor". For the role, Michael DeLuise's hair was dyed slightly grey and two cuts were made into his right eyebrow as homage to the single slit in O'Neill's.

Christopher Judge's stand-in Herbert Duncanson was cast as Douglas Anders, who portrays Grell the Robot within Wormhole X-Treme!, a parody of the character of Teal'c. Jill Teed was cast in the role of Yolanda Reese, who portrays the character of Stacy Monroe in Wormhole X-Treme!, a parody of Samantha Carter. According to Peter DeLuise, Teed had "come so close on so many different parts and this time around we thought, We have to have her in this story." Christian Boucher was selected to parody Dr. Daniel Jackson, portraying the character of Raymond Gunne who plays Dr. Levant in Wormhole X-Treme!. Boucher had previously portrayed the character Major Dean Newman in the episode "Shades of Grey", and would go on to guest star as a character called Torrell in the episode "Condemned" of spinoff series Stargate Atlantis. The episode marks the first appearance of Agent Malcolm Barrett portrayed by Peter Flemming, who would go on to make numerous appearances on both SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Flemming gave a quick, two line audition for the part, which at the time was called 'Man in Black' with the possibility of becoming recurring. Benjamin Immanuel, Don Thompson, Laura Drummond, Kiara Hunter and Keath Thome respectively play the parts of Producer, Props Guy, Security Guard, Alien Princess and Head SF.

Many of the shows production staff guest or cameo within the episode as the fictional crew of Wormhole X-treme!. Director Peter DeLuise portrays a fictional version of himself - the director of Wormhole X-Treme! and property master David Sinclair portrays Bill the assistant director. Cameos include writers Brad Wright, Robert C. Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi and Ron Wilkerson. Executive producer Michael Greenburg, his wife actress Nikki Smook, co-executive producer N. John Smith and production manager Andy Mikita all also appear. Other cameos include visual effects supervisor Michelle Comens, senior digital compositing artist Bruce Woloshyn, makeup artist Jan Newman, 3rd assistant director Gisela Schulte, property master Kenny Gibbs. Series director Martin Wood portrays a NID agent.

Filming

Peter DeLuise directed the episode, whilst Peter Woeste oversaw cinematography. The shows standing Stargate Command set at The Bridge Studios in Burnaby, British Columbia was used for filming, whilst Bridge Studios itself was featured throughout as the movie studio where the fictional Wormhole X-Treme! is filmed. The production team originally considered digitally altering the Bridge Studios signage to show the Wormhole X-Treme! branding, but ultimately dropped the idea. DeLuise opted to fill the Bridge backlot with as many easter eggs as he could, including props from Stargate SG-1 such as the Asgard puppet and a Goa'uld Death Glider model. He also looked to Disneyfy the backlot, hoping to give it a "'circus-type' atmosphere" and make it far more colourful and alive through having crew everywhere, added set dressing and saturating the scenes in post-production.

An incomplete set for a Goa'uld space station interior, which was being constructed for the then upcoming Stargate SG-1 two-parter "Summit"/"Last Stand" ended up being used by DeLuise in the episode as a set for the show-within-a-show, Wormhole X-Treme!. The Zephyr Mercury building on Boundary Road was used for the O'Neill, Matin and Tanner interrogation scene. For the warehouse being used by the NID, production took over a car dealership across the street from Bridge Studios, whilst the frequently used Richmond Sand Dunes features as the final location of the episode.

During filming, DeLuise realised they would not have enough usable material to make the required episode length. In considering what else could be added, DeLuise thought of his father, Dom DeLuise, and how many of his films had bloopers at the end. Although usually resistant to bloopers, DeLuise convinced Brad Wright to include a "making of Wormhole X-Treme!" segment to end the episode, combining fake bloopers and interviews with the cast of the show-within-the-show. Under DeLuise and Wright's guidance, Michael DeLuise, Teed, Duncanson and Bocher recorded some two hours of additional and largely unscripted and improvisational material. Peter DeLuise's director's cut of the episode featured real bloopers of the Stargate SG-1 cast that was ultimately omitted from the broadcast and home release versions. Additionally, a scene involving Teal'c watching the trailer for Wormhole X-Treme! "laughing uproariously and enjoying the hell out of the show – much to the bewilderment of his fellow team members" was cut by Wright during editing.

Cultural references
One of Tanner's men uses the alias "Steve Austin," a reference to the character of the same name from the 1973 television series The Six Million Dollar Man, which Robert C. Cooper was a fan of. Although "a show about a talking dog who solves crimes" was included in the script, it was Richard Dean Anderson who, as an ad-lib decided to mention the unsold television pilot Poochinski by name. According to DeLuise, the green-skinned Wormhole X-Treme! aliens were an homage to the Orions from Star Trek.

Broadcast
The episode first aired on September 8, 2001, on Showtime in the United States. The episode was moved from its usual Sunday slot to Saturday night and was preceded by a Stargate SG-1 marathon to mark the hundredth episode. The episode was first syndicated in the week of February 24, 2003 where it received a 2.4 Nielsen rating. In the United Kingdom the episode was first shown on November 21, 2001, on Sky 1.

Reception
Jan Vincent-Rudzki for TV Zone awarded the episode 10 out of 10, writing "This is witty, well-written, well-directed, with some great in-jokes". Vincent-Rudzki applauded the episode for being "semi-ridiculous and yet still quite dramatic episode", with a "nice story" for non-fans of the show to enjoy. Reviewing for IGN, Daniel Solis called it a "Great, great episode", praising the "side-splittingly accurate" "caricatures" of SG-1. Andy Hall for DVD Times believed the episode was a "great way to mark reaching 100 shows" and that it "hilariously sends up SG-1 and in fact many shows of the genre, by ruthlessly picking plot holes in the concept".

Brian Ford Sullivan for The Futon Critic placed the episode 50th in his "The 50 Best Episodes of 2001" list, calling it "a grand celebration of how good this underappreciated series can be" going on to applaud the episode for delivering "some of the series' best laughs to date". Keith R.A. DeCandido for Tor.com described "Wormhole X-Treme" as "a hilarious hundredth episode that celebrates by making fun of itself", applauding the return of Willie Garson's Martin Lloyd. Reflecting on the episode in 2019, Helen Ashcroft for Screen Rant believed the episode was "one of the most polarizing episodes in the entire show", claiming that "While many hate it, there must be others who agree that it is a light-hearted fun diversion". Writing for Stargate fansite Gateworld, David Read noted "A lot of people don’t consider this episode to be canon".

Home media
"Wormhole X-Treme!" and the previous related episodes ("Between Two Fires", "2001", and "Desperate Measures") were first released to DVD on June 24, 2002, as part of Stargate SG-1 - Volume 22 in the United Kingdom. On the same day, "Wormhole X-Treme!" and "Desperate Measures" were also released to VHS in the UK as part of volume 5.06. The episode was then released as part of the complete Stargate SG-1 Fifth Season Region 2 DVD on April 28, 2003, in the United Kingdom.

Along with every other episode of the series, "Wormhole X-Treme!" was made available to stream for the first time through Netflix in the USA on August 15, 2010. The episode, along with the rest of the series has been upscaled for releases on various streaming platforms and the 2020 Blu-ray release. In July 2009, the official Stargate MGM website posted 5 previously unreleased bloopers from the episode.

In September 2001, The Hollywood Reporter included a 18-page feature on Stargate SG-1 reaching its 100th episode. The feature included cast and crew interviews, as well as congratulatory messages from around the entertainment industry.

Epitaph (Charles Mingus composition)

Epitaph is a composition by jazz musician Charles Mingus. It is 4,235 measures long, takes more than two hours to perform, and was only completely discovered during the cataloguing process after his death. With the help of a grant from the Ford Foundation, the score and instrumental parts were copied, and the work itself was premiered by a 30-piece orchestra, conducted by Gunther Schuller and produced by Mingus's widow, Sue, at Alice Tully Hall on June 3, 1989, 10 years after his death, and issued as a live album. It was performed again at several concerts in 2007.

Accurately convinced that it would never be performed in his lifetime, Mingus called his work Epitaph declaring that it was written "for my tombstone."

1962 version
There was one ill-fated attempt to record some of "Epitaph" during Mingus's lifetime, in New York City on October 12, 1962. The album The Complete Town Hall Concert (United Artists UAJ 14024) includes the tracks "Epitaph Pt. I" and "Epitaph Pt. II", as well as "Clark in the Dark", for trumpeter Clark Terry, who played in the band.

The musicians included:

Saxes and woodwinds

 * Romeo Penque (oboe)
 * Buddy Collette (alto saxophone)
 * Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone)
 * Charlie Mariano (alto saxophone)

 * Toshiko Akiyoshi (piano)
 * Jaki Byard (piano)
 * Charles Mingus (bass)
 * Milt Hinton (bass)
 * Dannie Richmond (drums)
 * Grady Tate (percussion)

A review by Bill Coss appeared in the December 6, 1962, edition of Down Beat titled "A Report of a Most Remarkable Event", and was reprinted in the January 2005 edition.

The concert/recording was extremely disorganized. From the liner notes: "...this record represents a curious combination of open recording session and concert on a New York City Town Hall stage that held thirty musicians, two men still copying the music to be played, no play-back equipment, and a host of unbelievable tensions."

From Martin Williams's review: "The occasion was supposed to have been a public recording date, but the producers' announcements and ads somehow came out reading 'concert.' At one point during the proceedings, Mingus shouted to his audience, advising, 'Get your money back!'"

From the Coss article: "The microphone Mingus grabbed had no amplification, but what he said, more or less, was: 'Get your money back. I couldn't stop you from coming here. The press agents lied to you. You've been taken advantage of. Go out now and get your money back. I don't want you to think I've done this to you. It was supposed to be a recording session, but Mr. George Wein, who is a fine promoter, changed it into a concert. So get your money back. The company has lots of money. It would take years to rehearse this music.'"

The problems seem to have arisen because Mingus had piles of new music in his head, and wanted to stage an open rehearsal which United Artists and producer Alan Douglas wanted to record and release. Then UA moved up the date five weeks, Mingus kept writing even newer music while rehearsals were underway, the musicians were unprepared (the Coss article suggests that in three previous rehearsals not one piece had been played all the way through), and audience members had apparently been expecting a fully rehearsed concert rather than a taping session with false starts and retakes.

1989 version
After Mingus's death, the score to Epitaph was rediscovered by Andrew Homzy, director of the jazz program at Concordia University, Montreal. He had been invited by Sue Mingus to catalogue a trunkful of Mingus's handwritten charts and in the process had discovered a vast assortment of orchestral pages written by Mingus with measures numbered consecutively well into the thousands. After some investigation, Homzy realized what it was that he had found and eventually managed to reassemble the Epitaph score. At that point Homzy and Sue Mingus got in touch with Gunther Schuller, who put together an all-star orchestra to play this very demanding piece of music. However, despite the stellar cast that was assembled, problems were again encountered. Thirty years earlier, charts were being copied in the wings before the show. This time, the charts were all computerized, but the software was buggy and again charts were being sight-read at the last minute.

This was no mean feat. Epitaph resembles many other Mingus compositions in level of difficulty. Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, pointing at a passage in the score said, "That looks like something you would find in an Etude Book... under 'Hard'." And conductor Gunther Schuller stated "The only comparison I've ever been able to find is the great iconoclastic American composer Charles Ives." Despite all these challenges, however, the concert, at Alice Tully Hall in New York's Lincoln Center in 1989, was a critical triumph, if ten years too late for Charles Mingus to enjoy it. The same personnel performed the piece two days later at the Wolf Trap Farm Park outside of Washington, DC. A double-CD was later released by Columbia/Sony Records. The concert was also filmed, and broadcast on U.K. television around 1990. The 1989 recording at Alice Tully Hall was recorded by John McClure and David Hewitt on Remote Recording Services' Silver Truck.

Divine Word College

Divine Word College is a private undergraduate Roman Catholic seminary run by the Society of the Divine Word in Epworth, Iowa. It was founded by the Divine Word Missionaries in 1964. It educates students for missionary service in the Catholic Church as priests, brothers, sisters, and laypersons. It is owned and operated by the Society of the Divine Word (SVD). The college offers three baccalaureate degrees as well as English classes as a second language (ESL) to other Catholic religious missionaries and those aspiring to Catholic lay ministries.

During their final semester of undergraduate studies at Divine Word College, young men who choose to continue with the SVD may apply for the Society's one-year novitiate program at the Chicago Province Headquarters in Techny, Illinois. These men may then apply to profess first vows as members of the Society near the end of the novitiate program and continue with seminary studies at the Chicago Theologate.

History
Founded in 1875 in Steyl, the Netherlands, the Roman Catholic order The Society of the Divine Word (SVD) sent the first Divine Word Missionary, Fr. Joseph Freinademetz, SVD, to China by 1879. In 1895, Brother Wendelin Meyer, SVD, went to America. By 1909, the Society had established the first seminary in the United States with the mission of training priest and brother candidates for service in foreign missions. The Society of the Divine Word originally established a Divine Word Seminary, a four-year liberal arts college, in 1912 at Techny, Illinois. In 1931, the Society purchased property in Epworth, Iowa, where it established St. Paul's Mission House, an SVD high school seminary. In 1964, Divine Word College replaced the high school seminary and has since served as the principal site of SVD undergraduate seminary education in the United States.

Kitty Harris

Kitty Harris (died 6 October 1966) was a Canadian-born Soviet secret agent and "long-time special courier of the OGPU-NKVD foreign intelligence during the 1930s and 1940s." Although mentioned by name in Walter Krivitsky’s book I was Stalin’s agent, Harris was identified only in 2001 when her code name "Ada" or "Aida" was found in declassified files from the Venona project. This was a counterintelligence program initiated by the United States Army's Signal Intelligence Service (later the National Security Agency) that ran from February 1, 1943 until October 1, 1980.

Career
Catherine (the earliest spelling is Katherine) Harris was born to a poor Polish Jewish family, probably in London, Ontario, sometime between 1893 and 1902. Her father was a shoemaker from Białystok, in the Grodno Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Poland). The family migrated to Winnipeg, Canada in 1904-1905. She began to work, first in a cigar factory, then in a clothing factory as a seamstress in 1912. She joined the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or "Wobblies") union and was a leader of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. Between 1919 and 1923, Harris moved with her family to Chicago.

In Chicago, Harris became secretary of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers local. She joined the Communist Party of the USA by January 1923. In 1925, Harris may have married Earl Browder, a prominent CPUSA functionary and later party leader. Harris transferred to the Communist Party of the USSR in 1927. A year later, she visited Shanghai, China, with Browder: there, he became secretary of the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretariat, (part of the Comintern) and she became a courier. She followed Browder to Moscow in 1929, where he reported for "special work". Harris returned to the USA and worked for the American Negro Labor Congress.

In 1931, Harris joined OGPU foreign intelligence under "Illegal" operative Abram Einhorn. She went to work in Berlin (a centre of Soviet espionage operations, particularly passport forgery) in 1932. In October 1935, she went to Moscow for training in radio operation, photography, and cryptography.

In 1936, Harris went to Paris as an NKVD radio operator. The following year, she returned to Moscow for training in the use of new equipment and then went to London as keeper and courier of a safe house. Under rezident Gregory Grafpen, she liaised with Donald Maclean of the Cambridge Five. In 1938, she followed Maclean to Paris as liaison. Maclean married an American in 1939: his relationship with Harris ended. When France fell to the Nazis in 1940, she escaped to Moscow, where she worked in the NKGB foreign intelligence reserve.

Harris went to the United States to assist the Soviet penetration of the Manhattan Project in 1941. In 1943, she went to Mexico City as courier for resident spy Lev Vasilevsky. Vasilevsky sent her to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where her role included running a safe house within a drugstore.

In December 1937, Harris had applied for and received Soviet citizenship. When she retired from active service, she received an apartment in Riga. There, problems with alcoholism and mental illness surfaced. Harris died in Gorky in 1966. She is buried there in the Marina Roshcha cemetery with a grave marker that lists her date of birth as 24 May 1902.

Carl Cameron

Carl Cameron (born September 22, 1961, as Karl Emil Othmar Lamberg-Karlovsky ) is an American journalist and was a reporter for Fox News for two decades. In 2019 he founded the progressive news aggregator, Front Page Live, where he is chief political correspondent.

Life and career
As a child Cameron spent time in Iran, where his Jewish father C.C. Lamberg-Karlovsky, a distinguished member of the Harvard faculty, worked as an archaeologist. He grew up in New Hampshire and attended Bates College. He began his media career in 1985 at radio stations WFEA and WZID in Manchester, New Hampshire, first being hired as a salesman at WFEA and breaking into broadcasting when the weather man was sick one day. Later he worked as political director for WMUR-TV, the ABC affiliate in Manchester.

In 1995, Fox News hired Cameron, and he covered the 1996 presidential election. He joined Fox News full-time as its first Capitol Hill Correspondent in 1996 and has since covered every presidential election; Shepard Smith dubbed him "Campaign Carl" and he is often introduced on-air by that nickname.

After the 2000 elections, Fox News named Cameron its first Chief Political Correspondent, and after the 2004 elections, he was named its first Chief White House Correspondent. In June 2006, Cameron returned to his job as Chief Political Correspondent to cover the 2006 midterm elections and prepare for the 2008 presidential campaign.

Stories he has broken include George W. Bush's 1976 drunk driving arrest, as well as Israel's involvement in wiretapping US officials leading up to 9/11.

On August 22, 2017, Cameron announced his retirement from Fox News. In June 2019, he founded the progressive news aggregator, Front Page Live, together with Joe Romm, its Editor-in-Chief, Laura Dawn, Sunny Hundal, Helen Stickler, his wife Moira Hopkins, and others. Cameron is Chief Political Correspondent.

Reception
As a radio reporter in New Hampshire, Cameron was several times named a top reporter by the state Associated Press Broadcasters Association; both The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Washington Post described him as "smart" and "brash". In 2004, Cameron posted a news story on the Fox News website that included fabricated quotes from John Kerry, in which the Senator purportedly called himself a "metrosexual" and Bush a "cowboy". Fox News spokesman Paul Schur later said it was intended to be an internal joke not for publication, and the network apologized for the piece. Cameron was reprimanded.

In June 2009, Washingtonian Magazine named Cameron one of the top 50 journalists in the nation's capital, saying: "[P]layers on both sides of the aisle trust 'Campaign Carl' and know that his reporting is second to none." A 2012 profile in The New York Times described Cameron as a very hard-working journalist often considered "a member of the home team" at Republican campaign events, yet characterized by reporters from rival networks as collegial and unbiased in his reporting. His "less polished" appearance was said to contrast with that of other Fox reporters; NBC News' Chuck Todd, an avowed fan of Cameron's, quipped, "[i]t’s nice to see that there are other guys in TV who didn't get there for their looks".

Personal life
Cameron is married to Moira Hopkins, a former technician for Fox News who accompanied him on the campaign trail and now works with him as Executive Producer at Front Page Live.

Article on truth
Would you care to explain how in the world the self-evident truths (axioms) belong in the justification article? They are the most basic truths and should be mentioned in the truth article because they are the basis for distinguishing between truth and falsehood.

Also, what references to Rand are you talking about? I did not add any references to Rand in the Truth article. I merely mentioned her because she has "discovered" some self-evident truths in creating her philosophy, and that is what I was talking about. I was going to add a short note on mathematical axioms, as soon as I get my hands on the literature. I will revert your reversion. Source 18:16, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

An edit of mine you reverted
This is the article before I changed it:  Agnosticism is the philosophical view that the truth or falsity of certain claims—particularly theological claims regarding the existence of God or gods—is unknown, unknowable, or incoherent. Some agnostics infer from this that these claims are irrelevant to the meaning of life.

The term and the related agnostic were coined by Thomas Henry Huxley in 1869, and are also used to describe those who are unconvinced or noncommittal about the existence of deities as well as other matters of religion. The word agnostic comes from the Greek a (without) and gnosis (knowledge). '''Agnosticism, focusing on what can be known, is an epistemological position (dealing with the nature and limits of human knowledge); while atheism and theism are ontological positions (a branch of metaphysics that deals with what types of entities exist). Agnosticism is not to be confused with a view specifically opposing the doctrine of gnosis and Gnosticism—these are religious concepts that are not generally related to agnosticism.'''

Agnostics may claim that it isn't possible to have absolute or certain spiritual knowledge or, alternatively, that while certainty may be possible, they personally have no such knowledge. In both cases, agnosticism involves some form of skepticism towards religious statements. This is different from the simple irreligion of those who give no thought to the subject.

The term agnostic is also used to describe those who are unconvinced or noncommittal about the existence of deities as well as other matters of religion. '''Agnosticism, focusing on what can be known, is an epistemological position (dealing with the nature and limits of human knowledge); while atheism and theism are ontological positions (a branch of metaphysics that deals with what types of entities exist). Agnosticism is not to be confused with a view specifically opposing the doctrine of gnosis and Gnosticism—these are religious concepts that are not generally related to agnosticism.'''

Agnosticism is distinct from strong atheism (also called positive atheism or dogmatic atheism), which denies the existence of any deities. However, the more general variety of atheism, weak atheism (also called negative atheism, and sometimes neutral atheism), professes only a lack of belief in a god or gods, which is not equivalent to but is compatible with agnosticism. Critical atheism admits that a god or gods are meaningful concepts but the evidence for them is not in hand, so a default position of not believing in them must be taken in the interim.

As you can see there are two identical peices of text. All I did was remove the second copy of the statement and merged the remaineder of that paragraph with the one above it. Thus what removed did repeat what was left. I think you were incorrect to revert my change, somebody else has come along and changed it again. I figured I would point out your mistake and avoid any reverting battles. Guardian 03:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Hubbert peak
Now, about me. I'm a civil engineer and a humanitarian. I decided a few years ago that I couldn't think of a greater humanitarian professional focus than providing energy for mankind. I have always been interested in the latest developments in solar energy, nuclear energy, wind energy, and anything that has to do with cheaper, better energy. I am also very interested in water, but I decided that given enough energy, anybody can get water anywhere. Hence the limiting technological factor (of course political factors may be in reality dominant) to global prosperity is energy development.

I had been editing the Wikipedia for months, mainly in the Mormonism area, when I realized I ought to try to contribute in the more "boring" areas of my expertise. So I helped out a bit on the Civil engineering article and the Energy development articles. I am sure you can imagine those articles are not really "hot". In fact, I had to create the Energy development article from scratch; the Energy article that existed at that time was solely a discussion of the scientific meaning of what is energy.

After a few months of getting some really nice edits to Energy development, somebody suggested a lot of the article be moved to Future energy development. Maybe it was Ultramarine. I told them I was essentially the father of that article, and I thought that would be a nice move. I think it was at that time that somebody suggested that there was a lot of material at Hubbert Peak that might be growing to encompass much more that essentially pertains to Hubbert Peak, and that maybe ought to be in broader articles. It was at that time that I first visited Hubbert Peak.

I don't know when I first learned about the Hubbert Peak theory, but I was well read and informed on it when I first visited the Hubbert Peak article. I get as easily excited as the next fellow about the implications of the theory. I personally am thoroughly convinced that global oil price stability is threatened already, and that the economic development of China combined with the Islamist instabilities have already led to the beginning of the final inexorable climb of oil prices. I am quite delighted about this, as I envision that this will hasten the transfer to more utopian forms of energy harvesting. In short, to me Hubbert's Peak is a reality that will end global warming and hasten the dawning a a more golden age of sustainability based on immediate solar power such as wind and photovoltaic.

Talk:Human
I think the previous consensus (which of course we could rework with a similar mobilization), was that NPOV isn't SPOV, and there were significant perspectives that defined humans primarily by other than biological terms. One significant perspective might say a human is what wears clothes and tells stories. Another significant perspective might say a human is what is in the image of God. Another significant perspective might say a human is the viceregent, steward, or offspring of God. Therein lies the pickle we must honestly confront in this article. This entire encyclopedia, or a large portion of it, is about aspects of humanity. But this article is about the fundamental definitions of humanity. Tom Haws 16:18, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

Human
According to the three largest religions, that together have adherents totalling 70% of the world, humans are beings of soul. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church a human is a being of body and soul in the image of God. According to Islam, every human "is composed of three parts—spirit, carnal soul, and body" and humans are the "vice-regents of God". According to Hindu Advaita thought, "no such thing as a human exists. The human phenomenon (supposed to consist of the mind, vital energy, and physical body) is an illusion. Only God exists." And according to Hindu Dvaita thought, "humans, like all creatures, are souls of God (or divinity) enclosed within a complex of bodies ranging from very gross (the physical body) to very subtle (the ego). Humans, however, are unique among living things in that they have the potential to realize their divinity."

 * You could substitute "illusion" for "misunderstanding of reality" --Goethean 15:17, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I also am thinking an improvement in the attribution direction might be to start with something like: The great spiritual teachers of the world's religions have defined humans in terms of divinity and soul. According to Moses, "God created man in his own image...of the dust of the ground...; and man became a living soul."  According to Jesus, "the kingdom of God is within you." Tom Haws 16:34, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * That's a very good idea. Because, for example, even if I quoted the most popular contemporary Hindu writer, there would still be millions who did not agree with the assertion. And the anti-religion crowd on Talk:Human would use that fact to reject anything that you or we propose. In Hinduism, the most important texts, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, are anonymous. But all Hindus accept them as authoritative. --Goethean 18:55, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, that's not true. The Bhagavad Gita is supposed to have been written by Krishna. But the Upanishads are anonymous. --Goethean 18:58, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The Vedas are anonymous because they are considered to smrti or revealed scripture, the word of God, in Hinduism, which has no author, in contrast to shruti, what is remmbered, and is written by man. See Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita is in fact transcribed down by Vyasa. Raj2004

''THE IMMORTAL SOUL

''In this section are passages about the soul or spirit of the human individual, which may be characterized variously as the divine Self in Hinduism, or as the product of conditions and causes in Buddhism, or as the core of the individual person, partaking of his or her choices and deeds, in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. From the perspective of ontology, we note that Buddhism does not conceive of the soul as ultimately real; it parts company with the Hindu and Jain concept of the soul as identical with the divine Self (Atman). Such a distinction might well be seconded by the Abrahamic religions' understanding of God as fundamentally Other and distinct from his creatures. But ontology is not at issue here; one may refer to passages under Formless, Emptiness, Mystery, pp. 85-92, and Original Mind, pp. 217-23. In this chapter we are only concerned with the soul as a phenomenological entity which carries the destiny of the individual person.

''First of all, the soul, in any of these varied conceptions, is more essential to a person's identity than his body, which is made from clay and is but a vestment, a possession, something one has rather than what one is. Next, we examine notions of eternal life: how the soul survives the death of the physical body. Although the manner of its survival varies among the religions--it may remain close to earth, ascend to Heaven, descend into hell, participate in a general resurrection, merge into the Godhead, or transmigrate into another body--the fact of its survival is a common thread that unites them all. These texts include descriptions of a new 'spiritual body' which will clothe the soul in the next life. Finally, we have several passages which liken the transition to the next life to waking up from a dream." http://www.euro-tongil.org/ws/theme040

Robert Haynes

Robert Hall Haynes, OC, FRSC (27 August 1931 – 22 December 1998) was a Canadian geneticist and biophysicist. He was the Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Biology at York University. Haynes was best known for his contributions to the study of DNA repair and mutagenesis, and for helping promote the concept of terraforming through his invention of the term, ecopoiesis.

Haynes was one of the earliest geneticists to recognize the fundamental biological importance of the vulnerability of DNA to damage and therefore the central role of DNA repair processes. As he noted, “DNA is composed of rather ordinary molecular subunits, which certainly are not endowed with any peculiar kind of quantum mechanical stability. Its very chemical vulgarity makes it prey to all the chemical horrors and misfortune that might befall any such molecule in a warm aqueous medium.”

Haynes early life and scientific contributions have been summarized by Kunz et al. (1993) and Kunz and Hanawalt (1999).

Incomplete timeline

 * 1953, Haynes receives a degree in Mathematics and Physics, at the University of Western Ontario.
 * 1957, Ph.D. in Biophysics, UWO
 * 1984, Haynes creates the word ecopoiesis, a term that came to be widely used by writers and some proponents of terraforming and space exploration.
 * 1987, The Genetics Society of Canada creates the Robert H. Haynes Young Scientist Award.
 * 1988, Haynes serves as President of the 16th International Congress of Genetics.
 * 1990, He is made an Officer of the Order of Canada.

Talk:Daniel Schorr

Untitled
If we are going to (reasonably enough) place him in Category:Watergate figures, shouldn't the article at least mention his role in covering Watergate? -- Jmabel 06:28, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)

I find this article rather thin on Schorr's achievements, and that it leans heavily toward discrediting Schorr for reported unethical actions, some of which lack citations. Citations and more balance needed! Jsallen1 (talk) 15:28, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Perhaps. And perhaps not?
"Perhaps earning the envy of journalists half his age"

Weaselly (WP:WEASEL). If we're going to say this (and I don't like it, personally), IMHO needs a cite. -- Writtenonsand 04:51, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Some changes and questions
From the section "The 70s": "Schorr attracted the anger of the Nixon White House."

How?

From further down that section: "Famously, Schorr read the list aloud on live TV, surprised to be reading his own name in that context. Schorr won Emmys for news reporting in 1972, 1973, and 1974."

Did he read that entire list (many names) or the "Nixon Enemies List (20 names)?

From "Career as an Elder Statesman of Journalism": "After Nixon's resignation, Schorr attracted controversy when he received and published the leaked Pike Commission's report about illegal CIA and FBI activities in 1976."

The report is not about illegal CIA and FBI activities taking place in 1976. I've disambiguated it.

At the end of that section: "A graduate of City College of New York in the 1930s, Schorr's journalism is tinged with a pessimism and sceptical edge of the person or event he is chronicling."

This is tinged with POV -- and it's not very clear. I took it out. --Chris 04:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Now you see him; now you don't
CPWinter, you added a photo of Schorr and Scott Simon. Soon thereafter, you deleted it. Why? Was it a copyvio? I'd like to have a good PD photo of the dude on this page.--RattBoy 21:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, it was a copyvio. I'll contact the source (a subscription-based print magazine) and ask for permission to use it here. --ChrisWinter 18:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, I've gotten informal permission. I just need to make sure the owner understands the ramifications of licensing it under (probably) CC-ND and is willing to do that. Awaiting reply to followup message. --ChrisWinter 19:41, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I've waited about 10 days for that second reply. I'll trust that the original permission was enough. (Here's how I worded it in the caption: "photo: Geneva Collins, Copyright © 2001 Current Publishing Committee. Reproduced by permission.") I've just put back the image link. I'll give Current a heads-up; then if they want to complain, they can. --ChrisWinter 14:29, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I like the photo, but there's no mention of his radio work with Scott Simon in the article. Could someone add that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.73.31.50 (talk) 17:58, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?
On or about July 6 to 13, 2008, Mr. Schorr sang this 1932 song (about long term unemployed workers) on NPR Morning Edition. That sound clip should be added--it's an important piece of his life witness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.130.32.67 (talk) 18:15, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * What was so significant about it? Niteshift36 (talk) 17:50, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * So, sorry to chime in here with a stream of consciousness :) but I think I'm additive. They played the clip again this morning on NPR ATC. I'm not "making the case" that it's significant, but what they did say is that he had an interest in music and worked/wanted to work (can't remember) as a music critic which is not the same as performing so I don't think it makes the case. BTW, also on public radio a few days ago they played a clip of Schorr singing "it ain't necessarily so" on stage with Frank Zappa. Having heard both clips, he was not a singer. The other point about "brother can you spare a dime" that Schorr made was he "could remember every word" which since it is a song about somebody economically down and out I think is more a comment on political sensibility, very New Deal is how I took it. One final thing to add having mentioned music criticism as a career, this article is remarkably quiet about what he did do in his younger years. The article picks up when he is close to 40, what did he do before that? 71.190.72.55 (talk) 17:04, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * ah, nevermind on the career question, here it is from : "Schorr's 20-year career as a foreign correspondent began in 1946. After serving in U.S. Army intelligence during World War II, he began writing from Western Europe for the Christian Science Monitor and later The New York Times, witnessing postwar reconstruction, the Marshall Plan and the creation of the NATO alliance." 71.190.72.55 (talk) 17:22, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * A couple of sources mentioned, in passing, that he sang the song. But nothing indicates it was significant to his life. This is a bio, not a eulogy. I can't see any significant reason for including what is little more than trivia. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Any idea of Schorr's political leanings? We might conclude from his antagonistic behavior towards Goldwater and Nixon that he was left-leaning/liberal, but did he ever mention his political views in print or interviews?—Loadmaster (talk) 18:49, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Schorr was at the left edge of acceptable during his CBS career. His reporting was noticeably sympathetic to labor unions, social welfare programs, income transfer payments, relatively disinterested in opposing points of view, and tended to portray those who advocated opposing points of view unfavorably. The old expression for biased reportage was "yellow journalism" and his reporting that aired is more aptly summarized as keeping one toe over over the line than toeing the line.
 * That's may still be a little too generous. In the '70's Schorr had a noticeably heavy-handed poisonous attitude toward anything that didn't hasten the day the 'worker's paradise' would come to America and a habit of being something of an apologist for the communist block. IIRC after the fall of the Soviet Union Schorr appeared on the list of foreigners on the KGB's payroll when their archives were opened. The KGB wasn't committed to the truth internally or to outsiders so it would be a mistake to accept who their archives claimed to be paying at face value, but rather that it shows that his point of view made claiming him as an asset credible. His unflagging commitment to the cause after the end of the Soviet era argues that he came by his socialist convictions honestly. PolychromePlatypus (talk) 20:02, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

end of his CBS career
As I recall, the scandal that forced him to resign from CBS was that they felt he had not told them (his bosses) the truth or honored commitments. (it's absurd to even hint that CBS in the 70s was afraid to defend the 1st amendment or wanted to cover for the government) Note that he leaked the Pike report to the Village Voice; he did not work for the Village Voice, he worked for the news division of CBS. IIRC (don't remember) that they knew he had the report, had discussed it, and Schorr was unhappy that they were not going to press with it so he went/snuck outside. 71.190.72.55 (talk) 17:14, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * my recollection above is still the same, but researching I found this from Time : "Worse, for several hours last Feb. 11, Schorr let his bosses believe that fellow correspondent Lesley Stahl leaked the Pike report. Some of the people Schorr worked with in the CBS Washington bureau have never forgiven him. Said a correspondent: "It's one thing to deceive management. It's another thing to shit on your colleagues." 71.190.72.55 (talk) 19:13, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Promotion of book at the Woman's National Democratic Club
Isn't the promotion of a book at a partisan venue noteworthy for a journalist at NPR? Drrll (talk) 01:17, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * No. Bongo  matic  02:37, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Book tours are a part of publishing. I expect that the subject visited as many venues as his health, budget, and time allowed. I don't see many book tour appearances in journalist bios. They're just not notable.   Will Beback    talk    09:11, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Personal life?
I gather that his survivors include a wife and two (adult) children. I hope someone can flesh out this bio with some details about Schorr's non-professional life. 24.128.188.152 (talk) 05:45, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Fried meatballs

from VfD:

This is a recipe that was listed for deletion in December, and then forgotten (I think the original listing got sent to a subpage and forgotten). There is no context provided in the recipe providing why it is encyclopedic, and the recipe has been transwikied to Wikibooks (b:Cookbook:Fried Meatballs), and it's page history preserved in the Wikibooks module's talk page. Gentgeen 06:33, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC) This is just a bad idea to plain delete pages of this type. If people come to Wikipedia, and search for meatball, they must find the information. Even if you (wrongly imho) decided to move the information to wikibooks, then DELETE the article, then it may be that the information is saved, but it is unusable, because the link to the recipee disapeared. You might have preserved the information, but an information which can't be found is just useless.
 * Delete, not encyclopedic. Could have been speedy deleted, I think.  ~leif ☺ HELO 07:11, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I propose a the following update to case 7 of the Candidates for speedy deletion so that this can be an unambiguous speedy: " Foreign language a A rticles that already exist on another Wikimedia project which have as a result of having been copied and pasted into Wikipedia after their creation elsewhere or as a result of having been moved via the transwiki system." When case 7 was written, I don't think Wikibooks, et al existed.  Further comments should probably go to Candidates for speedy deletion.  Rossami 16:35, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * This article was in plain english, so I just do not see how the article about foreign language articles apply here. SweetLittleFluffyThing
 * Delete. Transwiki'd.   — Gwalla | Talk 19:40, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep and list on cleanup. anthony (see warning) 20:38, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. D AVODD  [[User_talk:Davodd|« TALK »]] 21:45, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a question of principle :-) SweetLittleFluffyThing 11:53, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep as redirect. —No-One Jones (m) 13:05, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete with extreme prejudice. We're not a bloody cookbook. Wholeheartedly disagree with Anthere/SweetFluffyThing --Improv 16:15, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * You also support deleting the redirect ??? What harm does a redirect cause ? You do not even see it, it is not even counted as an article ? What is the justification of such hainous comment ? I replace the article by a redirect and this is not even acceptable ? What do you call a consensual decision then ? I think I made a huge move in your direction. You could at least acknowledge that. SweetLittleFluffyThing (wondering if she should just not restore the article as before if even a redirect is not acceptable. I am shocked you even support breaking links to other projects, deeply shocked).
 * Keep. This is a reasonable topic. Intrigue 18:13, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Comments

Now, if you succeed to prove me that wikibooks is as well known as Wikipedia, and that the reader who do not find the information on wikipedia will have the idea to go and look in wikibooks to find the missing information, then I will not complain of deletionist behavior. But ihmo, you will not succeed to do so, hence link to information must be preserved.

To do so, either keep the article, or at least save the information in another (probably more generalist) article. This is what I did in including the fried meatball information (and link to recipee) in the meatball article. Again, information hidden and impossible to find is just worthless. Do not hide information. Classifying does not make sense if it results in information being hidden. SweetLittleFluffyThing 12:55, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * That is an interesting point of view. However, it flies in the face of the consensus of the discussions and of the process for Transwiki.  May I recommend that you copy your concerns there and/or at the Village Pump?  Your issues seem to transcend a single VfD vote.  Rossami

I put them there : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3AVillage_pump#transwiki

People just do not care at all. They know that if they go on just doing the same thing than before without making any comment on new proposals, they can pretend no one question the policy they support.

There was never a clear consensus with regards to deleting recipees, each time I mentionned the topic, some people supported the same view than I, but the recipees were deleted nevertheless. It is the domain of who is the bolder.

I would like to know your opinion. Do you still support deleting links and making access to information disappear ?

SweetLittleFluffyThing

Several months ago, there was a discussion page for deletion of recipee. I remember quite well that many people gave their opinion on it, and there opinion was that indeed recipees could belong to the encyclopedia. The list of people agreeing to this was highly relevant. I can not find it back. Could someone help me here ?

I hope that it was not deleted, otherwise I would undelete this page, as it was the place were opinion of non deletionnists was reported.

SweetLittleFluffyThing 18:54, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is not a recipe and does not even include a recipe. It is a not-very-good article about a category of food that is common in many cultures and many regional and ethnic American cuisines. The topic is as legitimate as hamburger or sausage or kielbasa or haggis or menudo or scrapple, the inclusion of all of which I strongly support. As far as I know, none of those have been questioned. This is a less important topic, and not nearly as good an article, but there's nothing at all unencyclopedic about it. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 02:13, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I found the links !

 * Wikipedia is not the mailing list. February is not October. In the last few months, no "article" that is just a recipe has survived VfD, but many have become actual articles and been kept. As I've said before, an article that is just a recipe doesn't give encyclopedic information about a dish, like it's history, useage, significance, how widespread it is, etc. It would be like if our article on OpenOffice.org was just the source code of the application printed out as text.  It's just a set of instructions with no context, and I think that is not the purpose of an encyclopedia.

 * Come on Gentgeen, you know very well that this is also a lot in Talk:List of recipes/Delete as well. Also, if consensus made 6 months before are not valid any more just from the decision of those working on the topic 6 months later, then I fear that most rules followed in Wikipedia should just disappear :-)
 * We also already had this discussion you and I, and you know well that we agreed that just recipee could be moved, while those articles with a bit of encyclopedic content, cultural background, fame etc... could stay here, and this is exactly why you agree that meatball should stay I think. So, you and I have no disagreement.
 * Again, these discussions show that there is no evidence it is commonly agreed that everything should just disappear as some editors seem to consider here.

 * I withdraw the deletion request, as I'm happy with the redirect that Anthere created, and agree that the meatball article could be significantly expanded. Gentgeen 03:47, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I am glad of that; As I said, if significant articles such as meatball are kept, if link to recipees are preserved or if previous recipees are transformed in redirect to a larger article where links are preserved, I am okay. If all is deleted, I will go on disagreeing. I think a solution such as the one on oyster is okay.
 * However, I would like that preservation of links becomes a policy, because I can not just come and fix each time what people here are blindly deleting without taking into account the rest of the community opinion. And it is bugging me that it needs to discuss this over and over and over again, with regular attemps of intimidation which are inappropriate. SweetLittleFluffyThing 07:07, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. Well known food of cultural significance. 80.255 17:56, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Recipes proposal

end moved discussion

So, where's the recipe?
The main article promises a recipe in Wikibooks here, but that page is blank. Has the agreement on recipes already broken down? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 22:24, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

... even the page on meatball is not to be found. Odd... I go explore.SweetLittleFluffyThing 22:31, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

No, I really could not find it....:-( SweetLittleFluffyThing

 * It used to be here before people got so concerned with getting rid of the info. Dori | Talk 00:34, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)

Believe it or not, I have a real reason for asking. My mother used to make some kind of deep-fried meatball. The main thing I remember is that it had parsley or some kind of green leafy thing in it (no, not marijuana!) and I suddenly began to wonder which kind of fried meatball it was, Italian or Albanian or something else. Without a recipe in the article or linked to it, I actually can't tell. No, I can't tell from her ethnicity either; she got the recipe from a magazine or cookbook and was neither Italian nor Albanian. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 01:28, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Wikibooks uses a different naming convention. The recipe can be found at b:Cookbook:Fried Meatballs. Gentgeen 02:07, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * oh, if you'd have bothered to read the discussion above, that is the first link in this page. Go raise strawmen somewhere else. Gentgeen 02:09, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Apologies. Carelessness and jumping to conclusions, not raising a strawman. I wasn't the one who put in the links. I assumed that at some point they worked. Current Meatball article has working links and it appears that my mother may have been using an Albanian recipe. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 16:33, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Why I reverted the page back the redirection
After careful thinking, I decided to reject the unilateral decision to keep this page, and put again a redirect.

I have 2 reasons for this
 * 1) most voters did vote before the redirection proposal and have not given their opinion after changes were made and merging in meatball done
 * 2) the current state of the future policy seem to suggest that editors would support redirection

Consequently, I asked that this article is maintained as is till the time the policy is set, after enough time is given to discussion (so, probably at least 2 weeks minimum). SweetLittleFluffyThing

The Blackwater Lightship

The Blackwater Lightship is a 1999 novel written by Irish novelist Colm Tóibín. It was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

Tóibín conceived the book while traveling in Spain and, as he did not have access to a typewriter, bought a pen and notebook, which prompted his return to writing in longhand.

Plot summary
The story is set in Dublin and County Wexford and described from the viewpoint of Helen, a successful school principal living with her husband and two children in Ireland. She learns one day, that her brother Declan, who is homosexual, has been ill with AIDS for years, and refused to tell her until then. He asks her to deliver their mother and grandmother the news. This presents a challenge to Helen as she has had minimal contact with the two women due to deeply buried conflicts relating to Helen's past and her father's sudden death when she was a child.

As the three women meet again they are forced to overcome these struggles for Declan's sake. The novel follows the painful journey they must take in order to correct the misunderstanding that exists between them.

Reception
The Blackwater Lightship was shortlisted for the 1999 Booker Prize.

Shortly after this, whilst out endeavouring to purchase groceries in Dublin, Tóibín was pursued by drivers of cars. The car drivers flashed and honked the horn at him. Presently, one young man ceased his act of flashing and honking the horn at Tóibín. The young man emerged from his vehicle. He threw his arms aloft. He proceeded to utter "Yah! Yah!" at Tóibín. According to The New Yorker, this was an act of "saluting the Booker acknowledgment" by a fellow countryman.

Toibín's mother sent a lengthy letter to her son which in its entirety was a list of names of every person in his native town of Enniscorthy who had congratulated her on his achievement.

Film, TV or theatrical adaptations
The novel was made into a film and aired on CBS as a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation. Angela Lansbury received an Emmy nomination for it in 2004. It also stars Gina McKee, Sam Robards, Dianne Wiest, and Keith McErlean; and was directed by John Erman.
