A Yorkshire Tragedy

A Yorkshire Tragedy is an early Jacobean era stage play, a domestic tragedy printed in 1608. The play was originally assigned to William Shakespeare, though the modern critical consensus rejects this attribution, favouring Thomas Middleton.

Date and text
A Yorkshire Tragedy was entered into the Stationers' Register on 2 May 1608; the entry assigns the play to "Wylliam Shakespere." The play was published soon after, in a quarto issued by bookseller Thomas Pavier, who had published Sir John Oldcastle, another play of the Shakespeare Apocrypha, in 1600.

The play was reprinted in 1619, as part of William Jaggard's False Folio. It was next reprinted in 1664, when Philip Chetwinde included it among the seven plays he added to the second impression of the Shakespeare Third Folio.

Form and genre
The play is unusual in consisting of only ten scenes. The original printed text of the play identifies it as "ALL'S ONE. OR, One of the foure Plaies in one, called a York-Shire Tragedy...." This plainly implies that the existing play was one of a quartet of related works that were performed on stage together. In that respect it must have resembled Four Plays, or Moral Representations, in One, from c. 1608–13, a play in the John Fletcher canon in which Fletcher wrote the last two parts of the quartet, while another playwright, most likely Nathan Field, wrote the others. Other examples of such anthologies of short plays from the English Renaissance can also be given; see, for instance, The Seven Deadly Sins. The nature and authorship of the three lost pieces that accompanied A Yorkshire Tragedy is unknown.

The play's genre is that of the domestic tragedy, a subgenre of the English Renaissance theatre focusing on the downfalls of ordinary middle-class people. One of the earliest examples is Arden of Faversham, which also belongs in the Shakespeare Apocrypha.

Authorship
In the Stationers' Register of 2 May 1608, the entry for A Yorkshire Tragedy ascribes authorship to "William Shakespere." The title page of the published quarto repeats the attribution to "W. Shakspeare," and states that the play was acted by the King's Men (Shakespeare's company) at the Globe Theatre. While some early critics allowed the possibility of Shakespeare's authorship, most, over the past two centuries, have doubted the attribution. The modern critical consensus favours the view that the play was written by Thomas Middleton, citing internal evidence from the text of the play. Cases for the authorship of Thomas Heywood or George Wilkins have been made, but have convinced few commentators.

Performance history
The title page of the quarto claims that the play was first acted by the King's Men at the Globe Theatre (though these sources are not always reliable). No other record of historical performance exists. In the modern age, edited adaptations of the play have been performed by the Birmingham Repertory Company (1958, directed by Bernard Hepton), the National Theatre (1987, directed by Stephen Unwin), and by Tough Theatre at the White Bear Theatre Club (2010, directed by Andy Brunskill).

Synopsis
Note: This synopsis follows the scene divisions from Stanley Wells' edition of the play in Thomas Middleton: The Collected Works (eds John Lavagnino and Gary Taylor, Oxford, 2007). Other editions divide the play into ten scenes, rather than eight, by splitting Scene Five into three separate scenes.

Scene 1: A house in Yorkshire
The play opens with a conversation among three servants of an anonymous Yorkshire gentleman, who is returning to his country house after a long sojourn in London. Sam, who has returned with his master, explains to Ralph and Oliver that their master has abandoned his local fiancée to marry another young woman: "he's married, beats his wife, and has two or three children by her." Sam also details his master's fondness for drunkenness, and sets the mood for what follows.

Scene 2: Outside the Husband's house, near Yorkshire
The Wife has an opening soliloquy, "What will become of us?," which fills out the picture of the Husband's devotion to drink and gambling and riotous behaviour. The Husband enters. He provides quick justification for the Wife's worry with his cruel words and general bad behaviour. The Wife begs him to modify his behaviour for the sake of his children. He replies by saying his sons are bastards, begot from his wife's adulterous affairs. The Wife continues to beg him to reform. He kicks her and demands that she go to London to see her uncle so that the lands from her dowry can be sold for cash. The Wife agrees to leave right away. She exits. Three local Gentlemen (otherwise unnamed) enter. They reprove the Husband and urge his reform. One of the Gentlemen is so persistent that the Husband loses his temper and draws his sword. The two fight, and the Husband is left wounded on the floor—but he retains his unrepentant attitude.

Scene 3: The Husband's house, a room above
The wife has just returned from her uncle in London. She tells a servant that, rather than selling the lands from her dowry, she has convinced her uncle to get her husband a place at court. She hopes that this measure will save her husband's reputation and keep him out of bankruptcy. The Husband enters. He demands to see the money from the sale of the dowry lands. The Wife tells him that she has gotten him a place at court instead. The Husband flies into a vicious rage. He calls his wife "whore" and "slut" and threatens her with a dagger. Further violence is interrupted when a servant enters and tells the Husband that he has a visitor: the Master of his college from university. The husband exits to greet his visitor. The Wife is relieved to have escaped her husband's wrath. She worries about her family's future.

Scene 4: The Husband's house
The Master has bad news for the Husband: the Husband's brother—a student whom the university had great hopes for—has been thrown in prison as a result of the Husband's unpaid debts. The Husband is shocked to hear this news. The Master goes on to scold the Husband for his scandalous misbehavior. The Husband seems genuinely repentant. He promises to do whatever he can to secure his brother's release. The Master exits. Left alone, the Husband plunges into a deep despondency over his moral decline. He laments his wretched state in a soliloquy that begins with the line "Oh thou confused man, thy pleasant sins have undone thee, thy damnation has beggared thee!" (Commentators who allow a possibility of a Shakespearean contribution to the play tend to centre their attention on this fourth scene and this soliloquy). The Husband's eldest son enters and tells his father to move so he can play with his toys. In a fit of passion, the Husband decides to kill his children to save them from the poverty that he sees in his future. He picks his eldest son up with one hand and draws his dagger with the other. Frightened, the boy begs him to stop. The Husband strikes his son and stabs him with the dagger.

Scene 5: The Husband's house, the bedroom above
A maid holds the Husband's second-youngest son while the Wife sleeps. The Husband enters carrying his elder son, who is bleeding, but still alive. He tells the maid to hand the baby over. The maid struggles with him. The Husband throws the maid down the stairs. The baby falls on the floor and is hurt. The Wife awakens and scoops the baby up. The Husband stabs at the baby in his wife's arms. Injured, the Wife falls to the floor. A strong ("lusty") servant enters and tries to restrain the Husband. They wrestle. The Husband overpowers the servant and kicks him with his spurs. The servant is seriously injured. The Husband flees, planning to murder the third and youngest of his children, who is living with its wet nurse nearby. (Some editors insert a scene break at this point). The action is transferred outside. The Master meets the Husband as he leaves the house. He asks the cause of the Husband's excited demeanor. The Husband waves off the Master's concerns. He repeats his promise to secure his brother's release from prison and exits hastily. (Some editors insert a scene break at this point as well). The action now returns to the bedroom above, where the servant, the Wife, and the children are lying on the floor, all seriously injured. The Master enters with his two servants. They are shocked by the bloody spectacle. The Master calls for a doctor. The injured servant tells the Master that the Husband is on his way to kill his third child. The Master and his two servants exit in hot pursuit. The Wife regains consciousness and laments the fate of her two children, who have apparently died. Two servants enter and tell the Wife that a doctor is waiting for her downstairs.

Scene 6: A road just outside Yorkshire
The Husband is thrown off his horse. The Master and his servants enter. They apprehend the Husband and make plans to take him to the Knight, who serves as the local justice of the peace.

Scene 7: The Knight's house
The Husband is brought as a prisoner to the Knight's house. The Knight asks the cause of the Husband's "monstrous cruelty." The Husband tells him that he killed his children so they would not become beggars. His only regret is that he was unable to kill his third child. The Knight is shocked by the Husband's stoicism. He sends him off to jail to await his trial, which will take place on the following day.

Scene 8: Outside the Husband's house
In the final scene, the Husband is brought in custody past his ancestral home. His Wife is recovering from her wounds, and the bodies of the murdered children are laid out for burial. The Husband is finally repentant and contrite over his actions... too late for any restoration. Escorted by officers, he departs for his trial. The Wife makes plans to beg for her Husband's pardon. The Master expresses his grief at the family tragedy.

Digital Negative

Digital Negative (DNG) is an open, lossless raw image format developed by Adobe and used for digital photography. It was launched on September 27, 2004. The launch was accompanied by the first version of the DNG specification, plus various products, including a free-of-charge DNG converter utility. All Adobe photo manipulation software (such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom) released since the launch supports DNG.

DNG is based on the TIFF/EP standard format, and mandates significant use of metadata. The specification of the file format is open and not subject to any intellectual property restrictions or patents.

Rationale for DNG
Adobe states that, given the existence of a wide variety of camera-brand-specific raw image formats, it introduced DNG as a standardized and backward-compatible universal file format. It is based on the TIFF 6.0 standard. Various professional archivists and conservationists, working in institutional settings have adopted DNG for archival purposes.

Objectives
The objectives of the DNG file format are:
 * Digital image preservation (sometimes known as "archiving")
 * The US Library of Congress states that DNG is a recommended alternative to other raw image formats. The Digital Photography Best Practices and Workflow (dpBestflow) project, funded by the United States Library of Congress and run by the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), singles out DNG, and states "DNG files have proven to be significantly more useful than the proprietary raw files in our workflow".

 * Easy and/or comprehensive exploitation by software developers
 * Software could support raw formats without DNG, by using reverse engineering and/or dcraw; but DNG makes it easier, and many software products can handle, via DNG, images from cameras that they have no specific knowledge of, however, any settings stored in the DNG file by software from one company are unlikely to be recognized by a product from a different company.

 * In-camera use by camera manufacturers
 * About 12 camera manufacturers have used DNG in-camera. About 38 camera models have used DNG. Raw image formats for more than 230 camera models can be converted to DNG.

 * Multi-vendor interoperability
 * Unlike the proprietary RAW formats used by most cameras, DNG is supported by multiple vendors, and is readable by a multitude of software applications.

Technical summary
A DNG file always contains data for one main image, plus metadata, and optionally contains at least one JPEG preview. It normally has the extension "dng" or "DNG".

DNG conforms to TIFF/EP and is structured according to TIFF. DNG supports various formats of metadata (including Exif metadata, XMP metadata, IPTC metadata) and specifies a set of mandated metadata.

DNG is both a raw image format and a format that supports "non-raw", or partly processed, images. The latter (non-raw) format is known as "Linear DNG". Linear DNG is still scene-referred and can still benefit from many of the operations typically performed by a raw converter, such as white balance, the application of a camera color profile, HDR compositing, etc. All images that can be supported as raw images can also be supported as Linear DNG. Images from the Foveon X3 sensor or similar, hence especially Sigma cameras, can only be supported as Linear DNG.

DNG can contain raw image data from sensors with various configurations of color filter array (CFA). These include: conventional Bayer filters, using three colors and rectangular pixels; four-color CFAs, for example the RGBE filter used in the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828; rectangular (non-square) pixels, for example as used in the Nikon D1X; and offset sensors (for example with octagonal pixels) such as Super CCD sensors of various types, as used in various Fujifilm cameras. (Or combinations of these if necessary). DNG specifies metadata describing these individual parameters; this is one significant extension to TIFF/EP.

When used in a CinemaDNG movie clip, each frame is encoded using the above DNG image format. The clip's image stream can then be stored in one of two formats: either as video essence using frame-based wrapping in an MXF file, or as a sequence of DNG files in a specified file directory.

Contrary to its name (Digital Negative) the DNG format doesn't distinguish negative and positive data - all data is considered to be describing a positive image. While this is not an issue when working with images from digital cameras (which are always positive), working with scanned (by a film scanner or DSLR copy stand) film negatives saved as raw DNG files is complicated, because the resultant image is not automatically inverted and thus impossible to be used directly. A way to get around this is using an inverted curve in the photo editing application, however this reverses the effect of the image controls (Exposure, Shadow and Highlight details, etc.) which complicates the photo editing.

Timeline
This provides a mixture of the dates of significant events (such as "the first X") and various counts of usage at the anniversaries of the launch (each 27 September).

Counts of products and companies that use DNG in some way are provided primarily for illustration. They are approximate, and include products that are no longer sold. The purpose is mainly to demonstrate that such products and companies exist, and to show trends. Convertible raw image formats (camera models whose raw images can be converted to DNG) only include official support by Adobe DNG converters; not unofficial support by Adobe products (sometimes reaching about 30), nor support by other DNG converters.

During the first 5 years when about 38 camera models were launched that wrote DNG, Adobe software added support for about 21 Canon models, about 20 Nikon models, and about 22 Olympus models.

Reception
The reaction to DNG has been mixed. A few camera manufacturers stated their intention to use DNG at launch. They first supported DNG about 9 months after launch. Several more niche and minority camera manufacturers added support after this (e.g. Leica). The largest camera manufacturers have apparently never indicated an intention to use DNG (e.g. Nikon and Canon).

Some software products supported DNG within 5 months of launch, with many more following. Some only support DNG from cameras writing DNG, or from cameras supported via native raw image formats.

OpenRAW was an advocacy and lobby group with the motto "Digital Image Preservation Through Open Documentation". They became opposed to DNG.

Some photographic competitions do not accept converted files, and some do not accept DNG.

DNG conversion
"DNG conversion" refers to the process of generating a DNG file from a non-DNG image. (This is in contrast to "raw conversion", which typically refers to reading and processing a raw file, which might be a DNG file, and generating some other type of output from it). DNG conversion is one of the sources of DNG files, the other being direct output from cameras and digital backs.

Several software products are able to do DNG conversion. The original such product is Adobe DNG Converter or DNG Converter, a freely-available stand-alone utility from Adobe. Other Adobe products such as the ACR plugin to Photoshop or Lightroom can also generate DNG files from other image files.

Most DNG converters are supplied by companies other than Adobe. For example:
 * The software that Pentax supplies with all their dSLR cameras can convert PEF raw image files from Pentax cameras into DNG files.
 * Flexcolor and Phocus from Hasselblad can convert 3FR raw image files from Hasselblad cameras and digital backs into DNG files.
 * Capture One from Phase One is a raw converter that can process not only raw image files from Phase One digital backs, but also raw image files from many other cameras too. Capture One can save images from many of those cameras to DNG.
 * KDE Image Plugin Interface is an API that can save the images it is processing to DNG. It can be used standalone or with any image processing applications of the KDE desktop environment under Linux and Windows.
 * A number of DNG converters have been developed by "amateurs" to enable raw images from their favored camera or digital back to be processed in a large range of raw converters. These include cases where cameras have been hacked to output raw images that have then been converted to DNG.

The process of DNG conversion involves extracting raw image data from the source file and assembling it according to the DNG specification into the required TIFF format. This optionally involves compressing it. Metadata as defined in the DNG specification is also put into that TIFF assembly. Some of this metadata is based on the characteristics of the camera, and especially of its sensor. Other metadata may be image-dependent or camera-setting dependent. A DNG converter must therefore have knowledge of the camera model concerned, and be able to process the source raw image file including key metadata. Optionally a JPEG preview is obtained and added. Finally, all of this is written as a DNG file.

DNG conversion typically leaves the original raw image file intact. For safety, many photographers retain the original raw image file on one medium while using the DNG file on another, enabling them to recover from a range of hardware, software and human failures and errors. For example, it has been reported in user forums that some versions of the Adobe DNG Converter don't preserve all the raw data from raw images from some camera models.

Summary of products that support DNG in some way
This section summarizes other more comprehensive lists.

Adobe products
All raw image file handling products from Adobe now support DNG. Adobe DNG Converter was utility software published by Adobe Systems on September 27, 2004. It converts different camera raw format files into the Digital Negative (DNG) standard. It also supports lossless data compression when converting. The program is free of charge. It can be downloaded at Adobe's site (for Microsoft Windows and the Apple Macintosh ).

Digital cameras and related software
Use by camera manufacturers varies; there are about 15 camera manufacturers that use DNG, including a few that specialize in movie cameras:
 * Modern smartphone cameras using iOS 10, Android 5 or Windows 10 Mobile that are capable of shooting RAW images typically use DNG (e.g. Samsung and Nokia).
 * High-end Nokia (now Microsoft) Lumia smartphones like Nokia Lumia Icon, 930, 950, 1020 and 1520, were the first smartphone cameras to support DNG files.
 * Samsung's high-end smartphones (Galaxy S6 or later) also uses DNG.
 * Huawei Android phones using Leica-designed cameras (such as the Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro) can save raw files to DNG format when shooting in "Pro" mode.
 * Niche camera manufacturers typically use DNG in new cameras (including a digiscope, panorama cameras, and at least one movie camera). The article on raw image formats illustrates the complicated relationship between new raw image formats and third-party software developers. Using DNG provides immediate support for these cameras by a large range of software products.
 * Some low market share but conventional camera manufacturers use DNG in new cameras. Camera manufacturers that do not supply their own software for processing raw images typically, but not always, use DNG.
 * Pentax typically offers users the option of whether to use Pentax's own raw image format (PEF) or DNG, but some, for example Pentax Q, Q10 and Q7, do not support PEF. For example, the digital SLR Camera Pentax K-x does offer the ability to save PEF or DNG or even DNG+ which saves two files, a DNG and a separate JPEG file at the same time.
 * If a camera uses DNG, and that camera manufacturer supplies software, it will support DNG. It may support DNG only from their own cameras, or support it more generically.
 * Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus and Fuji do not use DNG in their cameras. If a camera manufacturer's cameras do not use DNG, its software is unlikely to support DNG unless that software is also sold independently of the cameras.

Some digital cameras that support DNG:
 * Casio supports DNG in their Exilim PRO EX-F1 and Exilim EX-FH25.
 * DxO supports DNG in their DxO ONE camera (introduced 2015).
 * Leica's Digital Modul R for the Leica R8 or Leica R9 and the Leica M8 or Leica M9 natively support the DNG format.
 * MegaVision E Series Monochrome back.
 * Panoscan MK-3 digital panoramic camera.
 * Pentax supports DNG in their 645D, 645Z, K10D, K20D, K200D, K2000, K-7, K-x, K-r, K-5, K-30, K-5II(s), K-50, K-500, K-3, K-3II, K-S1, K-S2, K-70 and K-1 DSLR cameras; alongside the K-01, Q, Q10, Q7 and Q-S1 mirrorless cameras.
 * Ricoh supports DNG in the Ricoh Digital GR, considered a professional compact, and the Ricoh Caplio GX.
 * Ricoh GXR mirrorless interchangeable lens camera unit use also DNG.
 * Samsung supports DNG in their Pro815 "prosumer" camera and GX-10 and GX-20 DSLR cameras.
 * Sea&Sea DX‐1G underwater camera.
 * Seitz Roundshot D3 digital back, used in cameras such as the 6×17.
 * Sigma FP Native support, SD Quattro cameras support DNG but may require a firmware update.
 * Silicon Imaging Silicon Imaging Digital Cinema SI-1920HDVR.
 * Sinar now uses DNG as the raw file standard for their eMotion series of digital backs.
 * Kron Technologies supports DNG in their Chronos 1.4 and Chronos 2.1-HD high speed cameras.

Apple's iPhones and other iOS devices expose an API for third-party apps such as Halide or Lightroom CC to capture DNG images. The native Camera app processes to JPEG or HEIF by default. Starting with iOS 14.3 on the iPhone 12 Pro/Pro Max or later, Apple's ProRAW feature can be enabled which allows the Camera app to capture and save as DNG images. ProRAW combines the RAW image with the iPhone's image processing information into a 12-bit DNG file.

Some of the Canon cameras can shoot as DNG using additional free software CHDK.

The built-in camera function in the Adobe Lightroom Mobile app saves to DNG format.

DJI supports DNG in its middle-end and high-end drones.

Third-party software
Support by software suppliers varies; there are of the order of 200 software products that use DNG.

The majority of raw handling software products support DNG. Most provide generic support, while a few support it only if it is output directly from a camera. The type of support varies considerably. There appear to be very few third-party software products that process raw images but don't support DNG. This may reflect the difficulty of discovering all of those that do not.

Versions of the specification
All versions of the specification remain valid, in the sense that DNG files conforming to old versions should still be read and processed by DNG readers capable of processing later versions. DNG has a version scheme built into it that allows the DNG specification, DNG writers, and DNG readers, to evolve at their own paces. Each version of the specification describes its compatibility with previous versions.

 * 1.0.0.0, published September 2004: This version accompanied the launch of DNG and related products. It was a rare, possibly unique, example of a raw image format specification published by its owner. It was adequate for representing typical images, but it had a few errors and deficiencies (specifically the lack of support of "masked pixels" and an inadvertent deviation from the JPEG specification) that required it soon to be replaced by the next version.
 * 1.1.0.0, published February 2005: This version corrected the flaws in the first version. It has proved capable of representing raw images for a large variety of cameras (both when written in-camera or via conversion from other raw image formats) for a few years, and it is the version still typically written in-camera.
 * 1.2.0.0, published May 2008: This version was based on experience and feedback from other companies about DNG since its launch. It introduced many new features, especially several new options for color specification under the general heading of "Camera Profiles". These are mainly of value to software products wanting their own flavor of color handling. This version permits administrative control of Camera Profiles, including calibration signatures and copyright information.
 * 1.3.0.0, published June 2009: This version added various improvements, but the major change was to introduce "Opcodes". An Opcode is an algorithm to be applied to some or all of the image data, described in the specification, and (optionally) implemented in the product that reads and processes the DNG file. The DNG file itself holds lists of Opcodes to be executed, together with the parameters to be applied on execution. In effect, the DNG file can contain lists of "function calls" to be executed at various stages in the raw conversion process. For example, the WarpRectilinear Opcode "applies a warp to an image and can be used to correct geometric distortion and lateral (transverse) chromatic aberration for rectilinear lenses". This is an example of an algorithm that cannot be applied to the raw image data itself before it is placed into the DNG file, because it should be executed after demosaicing. There are 13 Opcodes described in this version, and each Opcode is accompanied by a specification version so that more can be added in future.
 * 1.4.0.0, published September 2012: This version added Floating Point Image Data, Transparent Pixels, Proxy DNG Files, and additional tags. It also added SampleFormat and Predictor.
 * 1.5.0.0, published May 2019: This version added Depth Maps and processed Enhanced Image Data that can be stored alongside the raw image, with some details of the processing performed.
 * 1.6.0.0, published December 2021: This version added large file support (64-bit BigTIFF extension), Semantic Masks, triple-illuminant calibration profiles, and more.
 * 1.7.0.0, published June 2023: This version adds support for JPEG XL as a compression method. In September, 1.7.1.0 was published as a minor refresh with additional compression parameters.

 * CinemaDNG, published September 2009: CinemaDNG is a derivative of DNG with additional tags specifically for frames of movie clips (TimeCodes and FrameRate. It is not clear whether these tags will be added to a later version of the DNG specification, or will remain separately described only in the CinemaDNG specification.

Standardization
DNG is not a standard format, but is based on several open formats or standards and is being used by ISO in its revision of TIFF/EP. A timeline:
 * 2001: The ISO standard raw image format, ISO 12234-2, better known as TIFF/EP, was ratified and published. It also supports "non-raw", or "processed", images. TIFF/EP provided a basis for the raw image formats of a number of cameras, but they typically added their own proprietary data. Some cameras have sensors that cannot be described by that version of TIFF/EP.
 * 2004, September: Adobe launched DNG. Its specification states it "is compatible with the TIFF-EP standard".  It is a TIFF/EP extension with considerably more specified metadata, brought up-to-date and made fit for purpose.  DNG also exploits various other open formats and standards, including Exif metadata, XMP metadata, IPTC metadata, CIE XYZ coordinates, ICC profiles, and JPEG. Although DNG supports more sensor configurations than TIFF/EP (for example, cameras from Fujifilm using Super CCD sensors), it still doesn't support all sensor types as raw images, especially those using the Foveon X3 sensor or similar, hence especially Sigma cameras.
 * 2006: TIFF/EP began its 5-year revision cycle.
 * 2006 to 2007: Adobe offered the DNG specification to ISO to be part of ISO's revised TIFF/EP standard.
 * 2008, September & October: Minutes of ISO/TC 130/WG2 — Prepress Data Exchange, 37th Meeting: "WG 18 is revising the two-part standard (ISO 12234), which addresses digital camera removable memory. The revision of... Part 2 will add DNG into TIFF/EP." A progress report from ISO about the revision of TIFF/EP stated that the revision "...currently includes two "interoperability-profiles," "IP 1" for processed image data, using ".TIF" extension, and "IP 2" for "raw" image data, ".DNG" extension".
 * 2009, September: Minutes of ISO/TC 130/WG2 — Prepress Data Exchange, 39th Meeting: the revision of TIFF/EP "is comprehensive to support many different use cases, including backward compatibility with current TIFF readers and support of Adobe DNG... Profile 2 (proposed extension .dng, if Adobe is in agreement) is intended for camera raw images, including un-demosaiced images... This format will be similar to DNG 1.3, which serves as the starting point for development."

Patent status
In 2004, Adobe published a "patent license" for DNG that allows everyone to exploit DNG, on the condition that the licensee prominently displays text saying it is licensed from Adobe in source and documentation, and that the license may be revoked if the licensee brings any patent action against Adobe or its affiliates related to the reading or writing of files that comply with the DNG Specification. The license does not name any patent linked to DNG, however.

In 2009, Adobe states that there are no known intellectual property encumbrances or license requirements for CinemaDNG, a superset of DNG. Adobe also stated that if there were a consensus that DNG should be controlled by a standards body, they were open to the idea. Even though the "patent license" now grants rights for no known patents, Adobe has not removed the patent license: as of August 2023, it remains on the Adobe website.

Talk:Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf Estate
I thought this article is about Canary Wharf only. It is not about the Canary Wharf Estate, because we are not going to merge Heron Quays and Wood Wharf into this article. From previous discussions when we talked about merging Wood Wharf into this article, it was said to be inappropriate because they are separate areas and have their own history. Therefore, this article should remain about Canary Wharf only. Am I getting it wrong as User:Laytar1 is beginning to change the article to the Canary Wharf Estate? 91.125.44.144 (talk) 03:17, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Wood Wharf
Per, what was called Wood Wharf is now named Canary Wharf. Largoplazo (talk) 17:54, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * This is an interesting situation. The development area has been known as Wood Wharf for some time (presumably this was the name of the actual wharf when used with shipping). Only very recently have they stopped specifically referring to this area as Wood Wharf. All of the planning documents that I have checked refer to this area as Wood Wharf and that's by the applicant themselves. There is a difference between Canary Wharf and Canary Wharf Group plc. The former is the place and the latter is a business. CWG has bought the leasehold of the site of Wood Wharf, but does not own the freehold. CWG even owns buildings outside of the Isle of Dogs. They might very well want to call their new development Canary Wharf New District for marketing reasons, but it's not really Canary Wharf. Or is it? It's a bit of a head scratcher. If anything, the Wood Wharf article needs to be called the new marketing name of Canary Wharf New District, particularly during the construction phase. I think it's too soon to merge these articles. It's probably sufficient at this time to improve both articles to direct the reader to the different contexts.Seaweed (talk) 12:43, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

 * I dunno. What led me here was the new article One Park Drive, which (in the version that I came upon) described that address's location as Wood Wharf. While reading about Wood Wharf versus Canary Wharf, I came across this ad for 10 Park Drive that declares it a property at Canary Wharf. I figure One Park Drive is most likely in the same neighborhood, maybe even on the same block! Largoplazo (talk) 19:03, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

 * I would say definitely don't merge. Reasons being that they are two distinct areas and are ususally (or always?) talked about as two different places, with Canary Wharf a business district and Wood Wharf to become a living and leisure district. It would probably make more sense to merge Canary Wharf & Wood Wharf with Isle of Dogs if anything, as there is some consensus that Canary Wharf & Wood Wharf are located on the Isle of Dogs (though boundaries seem hard to define). Also, there is likely to be a lot of new info to put in the Wood Wharf article over the coming years that the size of the article alone would make a merged article very large and given the distinct characteristics of the places, I see no harm in keeping them separate for the sake of clarity, at least until it comes to a point where it is beyond doubt the name Wood Wharf has been abandoned --LegereScire (talk) 10:41, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Population
That is a massive overestimate. Limehouse, Island Gardens etc are separate areas from CW Crookesmoor (talk) 17:44, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Third or Fourth tallest in UK I Hate Banner adds (talk) 15:31, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
Came here from the Wikipedia front page. The article says that the fourth tallest building in the UK is in Canary Wharf. I think this is referring to One Canada Square, which the list of tallest buildings in the United Kingdom  has as the third tallest building.

Pronunciation
Could someone add the proper pronunciation? 74.109.255.125 (talk) 00:10, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

you've accidentally left an undefined ref named ":4". -- Fyrael (talk) 20:55, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Land and Liberty (Russia)

Land and Liberty (Земля и воля; also sometimes translated Land and Freedom) was a Russian clandestine revolutionary organization in the period 1861–1864, and was re-established as a political party in the period 1876–1879. It was a central organ of the Narodnik movement.

The first composition (1861–1864)
The inspirers of the society were Alexander Herzen and Nikolay Chernyshevsky. The participants set as their goal the preparation of a peasant revolution, their policy documents created under the influence of the ideas of Herzen and Ogarev, the latter of which had coined the term "Land and Liberty" in one of his articles.

The first Executive Committee of the organization included 6 of its organizers (Nikolai Obruchev, Sergey Rymarenko, the brothers Nikolai and Alexander Serno-Solovyevich, Alexander Sleptsov, Vasily Kurochkin). Land and Liberty was a union of circles located in 13-14 cities. The largest circles were Moscow (Yuri Mosolov, Nikolai Shatilov) and St. Petersburg (Nikolai Utin and Natalia Corsini). The militant organization Land and Liberty also formed links with the "Committee of Russian Officers in Poland" under the leadership of Second Lieutenant Andrei Potebnya. According to the data available to Alexander Sleptsov, Land and Liberty counted 3,000 people as members (the Moscow branch alone consisted of 400 members).

In the summer of 1862, the tsarist authorities dealt a serious blow to the organization, arresting its leaders - Chernyshevsky and Serno-Solovyovich, as well as the radical journalist Dmitry Pisarev, who was associated with the revolutionaries. In 1863, due to the expiration of the Charter of the landlord and peasants, the members of the organization expected a powerful peasant uprising, which they wanted to organize in cooperation with the Polish revolutionaries. However, the Polish underground members were forced to organize an uprising ahead of the promised date, and hopes for a peasant revolt in Russia did not materialize. In addition, the liberals for the most part refused to support the revolutionary camp, believing in the progressiveness of the reforms that had begun in the country. Under the influence of all these factors, Land and Liberty was forced to dissolve itself in early 1864.

The second composition (1876–1879)
The second composition of Land and Liberty, which was restored in 1876 as a populist organization, included such figures as Alexander Mikhailov, Georgi Plekhanov, Mark Natanson, Dmitry Lizogub, later Sergey Stepnyak-Kravchinsky, Nikolai Morozov, Sophia Perovskaya, Lev Tikhomirov and Nikolai Tyutchev. In total, the organization consisted of about 200 people. In its activities, Land and Liberty relied on a wide range of sympathizers. The name Land and Liberty was given to the Populist Society at the end of 1878, with the appearance of the organ of the same name.

The organization consisted of the main circle (subdivided into seven special groups according to the type of activity) and local groups located in many large cities of the empire. Land and Liberty had its own organ with the same name. An agent of Land and Liberty, Nikolai Kletochnikov, was introduced into the Third Section.

The revolutionaries chose to "settle" in the provinces of Saratov, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Astrakhan, Tambov, Pskov, Voronezh, the Don region and others. They also attempted to spread their revolutionary activities in the Northern Caucasus and the Urals. Land and Liberty organized clandestine publishing and distribution of the revolutionary literature, conducted propaganda among workers and took part in several strikes in Saint Petersburg in 1878-1879. It also influenced the development of the student movement by organizing or supporting demonstrations in Petersburg and other cities, including the so-called Kazan demonstration of 1876, where they would openly admit the organization’s existence for the first time.

The Kazan demonstration was the first political demonstration in Russia with the participation of advanced workers. The demonstration was organized and conducted by the Zemstvoi Narodniks and associated members of workers' circles on Kazanskaya Square in St. Petersburg. About 400 people gathered in the square, where Georgi Plekhanov delivered a passionate revolutionary speech to the audience.

Land and Liberty’s disappointment with the revolutionary activity in the countryside, intensification of the governmental repressions and political discontent during the Russo-Turkish War and ripening of the revolutionary situation favored the conception and development of new sentiments in the organization itself.

The Lipetsk Congress was held in June 1879 in Lipetsk. Members of Land and Liberty that gathered at the congress included Alexander Mikhailov, Aleksandr Kvyatkovsky, Lev Tikhomirov, Nikolai Morozov and Andrei Zhelyabov, among others. The congress decided to include in the organization's program the recognition of the need for a political struggle against the Tsarist autocracy as a primary and independent task. The participants in the Lipetsk Congress declared themselves the Executive Committee of the Social Revolutionary Party and adopted a charter based on centralism, discipline and conspiracy. The Executive Committee, if the general congress of "land volunteers" in Voronezh agreed with the new program, was to take upon itself the implementation of the terror.

Disagreements between the supporters of the former strategy of inciting the countryside called derevenschiki, or "villagers" (Georgi Plekhanov, Mikhail Popov, Osip Aptekman etc.) and defenders of transition towards political struggle by means of systematic terrorist methods called politicians (Aleksandr Mikhailov, Aleksandr Kvyatkovsky, Nikolai Morozov, Lev Tikhomirov etc.) led to the convocation of the Voronezh Congress of Land and Liberty in June 1879, where the two rival groups would reach a short-term compromise. About 20 people took part, including Georgi Plekhanov, Alexander Mikhailov, Andrei Zhelyabov, Vera Figner, Sophia Perovskaya, Nikolai Morozov, Mikhail Frolenko and Osip Aptekman. Supporters of political struggle and terror (Zhelyabov, Mikhailov, Morozov, and others) attended the congress as a close-knit group, which was organized at the Lipetsk Congress. The resolutions of the Congress were of a compromise: along with activities among the people, the need for political terror was also recognized. Plekhanov, who argued the danger of being carried away by terror for the prospects of working among the people, formally split from Land and Liberty and left the congress.

By 15 August 1879, Land and Liberty had dissolved, breaking up into two independent organizations: the terrorist wing forming People's Will and the political wing forming the Black Repartition.

Program
The formation of Land and Liberty, in Saint Petersburg in 1876, was preceded by the analysis of the "Going to the People" campaign (Хождение в народ, or Khozhdeniye v narod) of 1873-1875. As a result, the members of Land and Liberty defined the basics of the political platform, which would be called narodnicheskaya (народническая, or "close to the people", populist). They admitted a possibility of a special, non-capitalist way of development of Russia with the peasantry as its basis. The members of Land and Liberty considered it necessary to adapt the purposes and slogans of the movement to independent revolutionary aspirations that had already existed among the peasants, as they believed. The program proclaimed the ideal of "anarchy and collectivism" and its requirements, generalized in the slogan "Land and Liberty!", were designed to allow for the even distribution of all the lands "into the hands of the rural working strata", "full communal self-management" and division of the Russian Empire into parts "in accordance with the desires of the locals".

The Program of Land and Liberty also envisioned a course of actions, aimed at "disorganization of the state", in its members' opinion. In particular, it allowed for physical elimination of "the most harmful or prominent members of the government". The most famous terrorist act of Land and Liberty was the assassination of the Chief of the Gendarmes Nikolai Mezentsov in 1878.

The members of Land and Liberty saw the peasantry as the principal revolutionary force, as opposed to the working class, which would have to play a part of the "second fiddle". Proceeding from the inevitability of a "forced coup d'état", the revolutionaries considered agitation and organization of revolts, demonstrations and strikes to be very important. Land and Liberty represented a "rebellious" current of the revolutionary movement of the 1870s. Vladimir Lenin said that Land and Liberty’s "striving to enlist all the discontented in the organisation and to direct this organisation to resolute struggle against the autocracy … that was its great historical merit."

The conclusion for the past 2 times was to keep, and the only reason this one is +failing is because people are just too bored of it to vote for keep, except for the +vehement anti-gnaa people who have just now started to sock-pppet. *Impi*> I work at CMU *Pi*> I am not anti-gnaa, I just don't think the article should be kept *Pi* the article was fine enough to keep the past two times *Pi* did you just not notice that? *Pi*> I have never sockpuppeted, nor encouraged such things *Pi*> Many, perhaps most of the votes came from GNAA members *Pi* a chunk of them *did*, i'm not denying that. *Pi* Also, a good portion did not *Pi*> In any case, the community is always free to change its mind *Pi* after 3 weeks? *Pi*> And I will not, myself, ever propose its deletion again (although I will likely vote +yes on other peoples attempts) *Pi*> I was unaware that it had been only 3 weeks, indeed, that it had ever been VfD'd +before, before I already had begun the process. *Pi*> Although given that I think it should be deleted, I continued even after I noticed *Pi*> I take it you approve of the efforts to hack my blog and deface my user page on +wikipedia? *Pi* I am currently taking no stance on your blog or wikipedia user page. *Pi*> Okie. Probably wise. *Pi* I just think you're thick skinned to have seen both VfDs and listed it anyway. *Pi* I wouldn't have had the bloodymindedness *Pi*> I care about what I see as the good of Wikipedia *Pi* And getting an article about a real organization deleted is good? *Pi*> I also vote to delete elementary schools *Pi*> Not everything belongs in an encyclopedia *Impi* I work for money *Pi*> Look at my VfD history -- you'll find a consistant philosophy for when I vote to +delete. I have no particular grudge against your group. *Pi* A grudge you may not have, but the fact remains *Pi* the community decided to keep it. twice. *Pi*> And I am opening the topic for reconsideration. That's kosher by the rules. *Pi* You are aware that this is a futile effort and that the article is going to end up +kept, and the book rules which you adhere so closely to will end up being modified as a +result of this. *Pi* I think a quote from Bushwhacked illustrates this point quite clearly: "If the manual +told you to stick your weiner in a light socket, would you do it?" *Pi* sometimes common sense has to win out over rules. *Pi*> I'm doing what I feel is right for the community, and it's in alignment with the +rules.

Your feelings of what's right for the community aren't even the +community's feelings. *Pi*> I am part of the community -- my feelings are part of theirs *Pi*> There are several who approve. *Pi* Funny, the only editor I see approving was The Anome, who, in a complete break of +process, speedy-deleted the article and locked it as a redirect to Slashdot Trolling +Phenomena. *Pi* that was the first VfD incident *Pi*> Ambi approves *Pi*> 1 sec, going down the line *Pi*> anthony *Pi*> Well, he kinda waffles *Pi* Anthony doesn't mention the article at all *Pi*> He talks about general policy *Pi* he is talking about the VfD process and how you relisted it. *Pi* Also, i've tried to keep a good point of view on the article *Pi*> FireStar also *Pi*> *shrug* *Pi*> It's a disputed call. So it goes. *Pi* WRONG BITCH *Pi*> Why do you need to be non-civil? *Pi* hes' contesting your listing of the article *Pi*> Childish insults don't help anything. *Pi* okay. So two editors think the article should go, instead of one. *Pi*> There are several people voting for delete. *Pi* I did notice that *Pi* I also notice they list no reasoning *Pi*> When they list no reasoning, it's generally because they agree with the proposal's +given reasons. *Pi* The ones that do are either "I voted fordeletion on the last time, so i'm going to be +stubborn and list it again" or come up with the same old "non encyclopedic vanity entry" +crap *Pi* If it were a vanity entry, it would say "COME JOIN GNAA!! WE'RE THE BEST!!" *Pi* Does it do that? *Pi*> That's what it is. A non-encyclopedic vanity entry that doesn't meet Wikipedia's +standards for notability. *Pi* No. It lists the facts in a fairly objective manner. *Pi* no, it's not. The article was decided to be a non-vanity entry both previous VfD events *Pi*> It's still blatantly vanity, even if it is not as self-aggrandizing as it could be *Pi*> And it is open for redecision. *Pi*> All such decisions are open for reexamination. That's the way things work on Wikipedia *Pi* If the issue had changed, I would agree with you more *Pi* but the article went mostly unchanged between the two votes *Pi*> Doesn't matter. *Pi* I added some crap about rolloffle, but if that were too much, it should have been +reverted *Pi* Oh? It doesn't? *Pi* Relisting the *same article* on deletion request just doesn't make sense. *Pi*> No. The people can reexamine the decision at any time w/o the page being changed. *Pi*> It's the way the Wikipedia democracy works. *Pi* Is the consensus going to be any different if the page is the same? *Pi*> Yes. *Pi*> Different people vote. *Pi*> I, for example, was not around for the first vote. *Pi* Pity. *Pi*> Anyhow, I'm heading off now -- need to focus on my fMRI analysis *Pi* Have fun *Pi* You are aware that this conversation was pasted to #GNAA, corret? *Pi*> Ahh, no, but it doesn't matter. *Pi* Ok. *** Pi is pi@is.irrational (Yakov Smirnoff) *** on channels: #brained @#goatse #goatsecx @#epsilon *** on irc via server irc.gnaa.us (gnaa > j00 fristage postage is mine) *** Pi is an IRC Operator *** Pi : End of /WHOIS list. *Pi* Have fun. *Pi*> Have a nice day. *Pi* YHBT. *Pi* YHL HAND. *Pi*> Actually, I may post this somewhere too, although your part isn't at all objectionable *Pi* on your blog?

WebDAV for hard disk access
I kept in mind WebDAV is (also) used for connecting to a remote hard disk. Or am I wrong? --Abdull 23:24, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Researching. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.28.0.249 (talk • contribs)

Redirect and Disambiguation
Given that "WebDAV" is halfway-formal, I've never heard the term spoken aloud, but rather just as "DAV" (that is to say, like "Dave" but without the silent "e"). Might it be appropriate to create a redirect for that truncated/vernacular form, either to this article or to a page that disambiguates Distributed Authoring and Versioning from the Disabled American Veterans? Persist1 04:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

See webdav.org FAQ#1. So were it spoken aloud, it would be "Webdav" rather than "Web-Dee-A-Vee"?--87.162.47.132 09:02, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Unknown software links
I've just gone through and attempted to seperate the huge list of "Software supporting WebDAV" into servers, clients, and services. I hope I haven't mixed up too many entries. There are two left that I cannot do anything with:

 * Kiwi
 * Stellent Content Management

They're both red links and offer no external link. A google search turned up http://kiwi.stanford.edu/ but it isn't responding. I found stellant.com but it looks to be a huge corporate portal and I can't quickly find anything relevant. I'll leave the links here if anyone wants to investigate further. Imroy 13:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Removal of SEARCH method from method list
The SEARCH method is included in the list of WEBDAV methods however, I believe that this method isn't actually in the WEBDAV RFC. It exists rather in a draft of the WEBDAV groups search extensions.

 * WebDAV SEARCH
 * SEARCH Method

Therefore the search method should be removed from the list of DAV methods. Perhaps we can create a stub article to point to the WEBDAV group's related searching counterpart (DASL). -- P.A.H.

 * (Indeed; removed SEARCH from the message list) Reschke 09:32, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Long lists of software
As noted by an earlier editor this article has attracted a long, non-encyclopedic list of software. To get this article looking more like an encyclopedia entry, I am removing all of those lists. Notable material should be added back as text (sentences). Lists tend to become indiscriminant and attract spammers. See various policies and guidelines that encourage text, not lists: WP:EL, Embedded list, WP:LAUNDRY and WP:NOT. JonHarder 23:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It is a shame that you took such action. The article now contains no information whatsoever about software the supports this, making the article quite useless to most readers.  If you weren't willing to make at least a minimal effort to pick the most significant ones to mention, or move the material elsewhere and link to it, it would have been much better for you to leave it as it was. 69.87.204.240 13:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I think we have evidence that long lists attract spamming; also the distinction between "server" (as something you can install and run) and "service" (something online somewhere) became a problem, and the Wiki page certainly should not list all services that may happen to run on of the well-known servers. I really believe that people looking for servers and/or clients should do that through a search engine, not this entry. Reschke 09:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

A another delete faschist - i'm so happy i never donated anything for wikipedia. I came here to find a list of WebDAV software like i visitied the list for FTP and SSH servers/clients. Wikipedia is not an Encyclopedia it is a collection of various informations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.205.61.158 (talk) 13:11, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

The article as it stands is basically useless to me; it gives a brief discussion of the protocol, and then lists "implementations" that are only clients. Like the previous commenter I wish it had a reasonable list of server implementations. danpritts 1 June 2010 —Preceding undated comment added 17:55, 1 June 2010 (UTC).

 * Jon Harder, thanks for being such a rule-enforcer, but be a decent human being too -- with such a major deletion, at least include a link to the "previous" version before you nuked it, so those who are looking for a List Of Software can easily VIEW that please! The best I could find quickly was http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WebDAV&action=historysubmit&diff=82100342&oldid=80293021 142.229.109.66 (talk) 21:50, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Or better yet, just add an "external reference" link to a site that specifically focuses on long, non-encyclopaedic lists of software. A short summary of the most-used implementations in sentence form is more than enough. Completeness is not the focus of an encyclopaedia -- Wikipedia included. You wouldn't mention how many times someone picked their nose in a biographical article so why do we need a huge, pointless list of non-notable software here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.142.230 (talk) 12:41, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Dates needed
The article has no dates. They are needed throughout to put events in time context. 69.87.204.240 13:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I provided some citations and dates for early history of WebDAV. I was directly involved, so perhaps per WP:COI I shouldn't have made these edits? DanConnolly 01:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Subversion and WebDAV
It is mentioned in the article that Subversion is an alternative to WebDAV, but it is never mentioned that Subversion commonly uses WebDAV to communicate (such as on http://code.google.com/p/).

--Quartz (talk) 00:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Open Standard
Is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.214.172 (talk) 14:44, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Mac clients
Noting that there's a whole section on Windows clients, should we also add in a small section that states that MacOSX supports mounting WebDAV volumes and manipulation of them via it's WebdavFS? We might also want to mention that Apple's iDisk is accessed by the finder via WebDAV. Kylar (talk) 04:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Article Dates
It would be nice to add some dates to this article. --PierreWiki 18:00, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Bias
The top-of-page summary irks me. While the content is well written and entirely true, it reads like an advertisement. I would recommend rewording this.

Examples:
 * The WebDAV protocol allows "Intercreativity," making the Web a readable and writable medium, in line with Tim Berners-Lee's original vision.  --Advertising catch-phrase
 * it is almost as easy to use files on a WebDAV server as those stored in local directories.   --Persuasive language
 * Similarly, words like "allow" and "useful" are used persuasively throughout the section and should be replaced with phrases that describe the functionality of WebDAV, rather than the benefit of WebDAV.

These are subtle things, but subtle hints are typical of persuasive language, and should be avoided here.

159.140.254.10 (talk) 20:29, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree, this language is inappropriate. Invoking Tim Berners Lee to support the idea seems somewhat far-fetched, given that I'm not aware of him publically refering to WebDAV at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.184.30.132 (talk) 15:37, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

I have added a "cleanup template" to the top of the article and removed a broken link. It could definitely still use a rewrite. Theoretick (talk) 20:11, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Usages? Non-Windows implementations?
Are there any widespread ways to use it? The article should tell about current usages of this technology?

The article should also tell what non-Windows software is available.--Imz (talk) 17:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't have time to research them, but I know that there is a mod_dav for Apache allowing the DAV protocol - there used to be an Apache Jakarta project called Slide, and I think Apache Jackrabbit supports WebDAV. There's also Apple's MobileMe iDisk which uses WebDAV as it's primary protocol. Not sure if this is any help. Kylar (talk) 00:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

the original "Web folders" client has been removed [from vista]
I just did a clean install of XP SP3. There is no "Web folders" client. If I install the web folders client from the patch, Windows update thinks I have Office installed, and I get offered a MS Office service pack (which fails, but that is another question).

Further investigation shows that the "Web folders" OLE-DB object is part of some other things as well as MS Office, so it may still have been part of the default installation of some versions of XP. However, it seems to have been a part of so many other things that it is difficult to tell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.162.148 (talk) 02:14, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

And not included in the first release of XP either: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298637 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.162.148 (talk) 00:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Example Services
There are sites offering free and paid webdav services like box.net and mydisk.se Should they not be mentioned? Rpm13 (talk) 12:39, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Alternatives
Aside from, arguably, SMB and CMIS, none of the software listed in the alternatives section are actually alternatives. The article states that SharePoint uses WebDAV, so it is clearly not an alternative to it. Also, just because some CMS, blog and wikis use the same HTTP verbs as WebDAV doesn't make them alternatives. And alternative is something that is functionally similar, not something that uses the same inner workings. 108.6.2.66 (talk) 16:01, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * CMIS is an Atom extension, and arguably Atom is an alternative. SMB is a network filesystem, and I suppose in one sense network filesystems are an alternative. The blog and cms para is factually incorrect I think, as most eg Wordpress use Atompub, or WebDAV in the more enterprisey ones. Providing a REST API is a proper alternative. Will attempt to reword. Justinc (talk) 12:23, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Cleaned it up a bit Justinc (talk) 12:51, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Server-side software implementation
The article only mentions client software. I believe the article should also mention the server part, for instance with links to Apache documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dav.html) and Windows IIS documentation (perhaps http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/350/installing-and-configuring-webdav-on-iis-7/, more suitable links may be found by googling "iis webdav" or "iis 7 webdav") 84.202.22.251 (talk) 21:59, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Remove Tim Burner
I came to read about WebDav not Tim Burner. Can we delete references to this person.? Per wp:intro should have the most interesting info, and Tim Burner isn't it for someone who wants to learn about webDav. Thanks, Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 21:34, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Uninformative
Having read the article, I still don't know what webdav is supposed to be good for. It sounds like it's supposed to do what many wikis already do (e.g. moinmoin can be used to edit web pages and supports versioning and multiple authors), yet wiki software isn't even mentioned under alternatives (or anywhere else in the article for that matter) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.186.246.197 (talk • contribs)

Helen Terry (born 25 May 1956) is a British singer and television producer, known for her backing vocal work with Culture Club. As a solo performer, she scored a Top 40 hit single in 1984 with "Love Lies Lost", and released one album in 1986, Blue Notes.

Terry changed careers, with a focus in film and television production, and moved behind the scenes in the music industry. She has been a producer and executive producer for the TV broadcast of the BRIT Awards since 2001.

Recording career
Terry was asked to perform on Culture Club's debut album, Kissing to Be Clever, after lead singer Boy George met her at a London club. Her soulful vocals became a key element of the Culture Club sound on the group's debut album and its follow-up, Colour by Numbers. She is featured in several of the band's videos, including "Time (Clock of the Heart)", "Church of the Poison Mind", "It's a Miracle", "Black Money", "That's the Way", "Victims", and often appeared on television with them.

Her solo career began in 1984 on Culture Club's label Virgin with the single "Love Lies Lost" (which she wrote in collaboration with group members Boy George and Roy Hay). The single went to No. 34 in the UK, reached the same position in Australia, and was a No. 28 hit in Ireland. That year she also co-wrote and recorded "Now You're Mine" with producer Giorgio Moroder for the soundtrack to the film, Electric Dreams, and released the single "Stuttering".

In 1985, she recorded "Take That Look Off Your Face" for the multi-artist tribute album Performance - The Very Best Of Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber. She also guested on backing vocals on the track "Take Me Home" on Phil Collins' No Jacket Required.

Terry's album Blue Notes was released in 1986, and was produced by Don Was with contributions from Stewart Levine and Christopher Neil. It spawned three singles, "Stuttering", "Act Of Mercy" and "Come On And Find Me".

Also in 1986 she recorded "One Summer Day/Duelling Bikes" with Ray Parker Jr. for the 1986 Kevin Bacon movie "Quicksilver"; it reached #96 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Her involvement with Culture Club was minimal after 1985, although she made a guest appearance during Boy George's 1987 UK solo tour and would appear on background vocals on various Boy George projects up until 1990's The Martyr Mantras. Terry and Boy George had a falling out after he wrote about their relationship in his memoir, but have reconciled.

In 1989, after signing to Parlophone, she released an EP, Fortunate Fool, featuring three new songs. Two of these, "Fortunate Fool" and "Lessons in Loneliness", were also released as singles, but differences with her record company led to a deadlock over plans for an album and she abandoned the contract.

Blue Notes has been re-released as a remastered limited edition CD with bonus tracks in 2009.

Terry contributed all the backing vocals to the track "Whole New Way" on the 2010 Scissor Sisters album Night Work.

Media production career
Terry moved into film and television production, beginning as a children's TV researcher in 1990, and as a producer for the BRIT Awards TV broadcast since 2001, becoming the executive producer in 2005. The 2008 broadcast attracted 6.1 million viewers.

Sir Duke

"Sir Duke" is a song composed and performed by Stevie Wonder from his 1976 album Songs in the Key of Life. Released as a single in 1977, the track topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Black Singles charts, and reached number two in the UK Singles Chart, his joint biggest hit there at the time. Billboard ranked it as the No. 18 song of 1977.

The song was written in tribute to Duke Ellington, the influential jazz legend who had died in 1974. The lyrics also refer to Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.

Wonder re-recorded the song for the 1995 live album Natural Wonder.

Background
Wonder wrote the song as a tribute to Duke Ellington, the jazz composer, bandleader, and pianist who had influenced him as a musician. Wonder had already experienced the death of two of his idols (Dinah Washington and Wes Montgomery) after attempting to collaborate with them.

After Ellington died in 1974, Wonder wanted to write a song acknowledging musicians he felt were important. He later said, "I knew the title from the beginning but wanted it to be about the musicians who did something for me. So soon they are forgotten. I wanted to show my appreciation."

Wonder pays tribute to "some of music's pioneers" in the song: "There's Basie, Miller, Satchmo, and the king of all, Sir Duke / And with a voice like Ella's ringing out / There's no way the band can lose".

Wonder recorded other tributes to people he admired, including the 1980 songs "Master Blaster", dedicated to Bob Marley, and "Happy Birthday", which pleaded for what would eventually become the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in the United States.

Reception
Cash Box said that "it's a tribute to jazz and roots, with a beat that lies somewhere between jazz and funk, and a horn section that dances on winged feet." Record World said upon its single release: "Already familiar from its radio play and already on The Singles Chart, it is shaping up as a major hit." New York Times critic John Rockwell said that it's "not Wonder's most compelling song, but nice that it should be so popular."
