Talk:Libertarian capitalism

== disambig ==

I don't think a disambig page does this term proper justice, this term is created by people that are anti-libertarians using libertarian. It only has 600 hits on google about a third of which seem to be wikipedia-releated and another third seem to be people putting Libertarian/capatalist or libertarian,capatalist in list type forms. Therefore a proper description would only be the fact that the term was created and why, not setting up disambig and giving validty to the term Chuck F 16:28, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

People seemed to be clashing over whether this should redirect to anarcho-capitalism or libertarianism. Such silly conflicts distract people from actually contributing useful material to Wikipedia articles, so I replaced the redirect with a disambiguation. —FOo 00:29, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Good move. Reithy 14:37, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)

Not too mention this: http://www.libertario.org/en/ (if you weren't aware the most powerful and effecitve libertarian party in the world is in Costa Rica, a non-english speaking country.) - DON'T delete my comments

Improv's compromise was excellent. Reithy 20:40, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)

My rewrite
Hey Chuck F, What problem do you see with my rewrite on the topic? --Improv 09:01, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

People in Europe do not use the term Libertarian Capatalism Chuck F 11:05, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * And your proof for that proposition is what exactly? Libertarian capitalism is a frequently used expression at cafes in Amsterdam. VegasDiaz 12:27, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * wtf? they are speaking English in cafes in amsterdam, using that phrase? what cafes excatly? Chuck F 12:34, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Europe is not monolingual -- in various parts, it is used as a convenient language for people of different nationalities to communicate, as many people learn English as a second language. Of course, it is also still a valid point when they use the translated term in their native language. How many times have you been to Europe, Chuck F? You seem rather surprised. --Improv 17:16, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Quit fighting without facts
I'm removing the contentious claim until someone can provide evidence for it. Please note that Costa Rica (which is not in Europe, but speaks a non-English European language) has a "libertarian" party in the minarchist free-market sense. —FOo 17:27, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Costa Rican Spanish is no more European than American English is. Both have their origins in Europe. --Improv 19:05, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I'm going to start over at the top of this article. This word doesn't exist. This is not a discussion about what to do with the Libertariansm article. if you think libertarianism means something else fine... but this partucilar word has 550 hits on google, more then half of which are from wikipedia. This is an enecylopedia people, not let's define and group poltical words ourselves. This word is obviously not valid, not real and not encylopedic. and thus this article needs to be deleted. barring that it needs to describe that this word is not one in any type of generaly usage, and is created to differante between libertarian socalism and libertariansm Chuck F 14:01, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

But the term 'libertarian socialism' doesn't exist either, except to distinguish one form of libertarianism from another. The meaning of libertarianism in the article about libertarianism excludes all the people wikipedia has choosen to describe as libertarian socialist rather than just as libertarians. So, this term, 'libertarian capitalist', should be exist on this site, either wikipedia is supporting one POV instead of neutral POV. 195.92.67.71 14:12, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yes, but the term Libertarian socalism has about 11,000 hits on google, this one has less then 700. and again it's how classical liberal = libertariansm, going and creating a page about kensyian liberal or common good liberal would not be valid, I'd accept modern libertarianism(has more then a 1000 hits on google), but not libertarian capatalist Chuck F 14:15, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * But how many libertarian socialists are amongst those millions of hits for the word libertarian, but excluded from the article we have on libertariainism? And how many more times? Wikipedia is not your personal playground, it is not about what Chuck the Almighty accepts, it is about what the community accepts. 195.92.67.71 14:17, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * no idea, what I can tell you is that modern day libertarianism takes is the first 200 pages listed(you can go thourgh them yourself), which means that it's the far more popular verison and now the main verison, thus off-shoots(such as geo-libertarianism) must have modifers, the main term doesn't.

Also Libertarian Socalism is a term that was in use before wikipedia, lp capitalism isn'tChuck F 14:19, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * There are plenty of such uses pre-dating Wikipedia. Google the two terms together. And the topic requires disambiguation. 195.92.67.71 14:22, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * why again does libertarian Capatalist required disambig, even if you belive it should exist?

 * Wikipedia should explain why the article at 'libertarianism' only contains info on libertarian capitalists. 195.92.67.71 14:27, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * because the major usage of the term today is what's at libertarianism, evidenced by the fact the first 200 pages google lists for libertarianism are all about the verison that's on wikipedia presently Chuck F 14:28, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Some examples 14:36, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * 1) Brian Micklethwait & Terry Liddle - Libertarian Capitalism versus Libertarian Socialism, 29 May, 1983
 * 2) William Terry - Nozick's Argument for Libertarian Capitalism, May 7, 1998

These still fall under the banner of what I had wrirten Chuck F 14:44, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * None of those writers are Wikipedians or socialists. Quit your lying. 195.92.67.71 14:45, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yeah we're compromoisng!
There are belivers of modern day libertarianism that think private property rights can still be used best to create a voluntary socialist system. so I made the most recent edit to differante these modern day libertarians from libertarians who belive that capatalisim is best for society Chuck F 15:06, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * But there are also libertarians today who reject the concept of property rights as authortiarian and unequal. And they seem to have been around longer and are the norm for the word outside of the United States. That is the problem with the whole use of the word in all of these articles. 195.92.67.71 15:18, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * yeah, but they aren't anywhere near as major as modern day libertarians, hence why libertarianism get's it's own page and libertarian socalism is a seperate one.

 * It's the same case with liberals. While liberals still means what libertarian means today in a small amount of places in the world, liberal party of canada and stuff, you don't have people putting in that they aren't the real liberals. Chuck F 15:22, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * But the article on liberalism does exactly that. It reflects the fact that the word means different things and talks about the historic use of the word. The articles on libertarianism are all written from the perspective of libertarians who are capitalists. You vandalised libertarianism itself to take out all reference to libertarians who are socialists in the histirical and current use of the term and even the link to libertarian socialism which is where those libertarians are boxed away when they should be on the main libertarian page. 195.92.67.71 15:27, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * hmm you're right, considering the liberal party of australia has a link to the liberal democratic party, there should probly be a small link to libertarian socalist. But the term is mainly used as the current defination there... it's very rarley used in modern times to mean libertarian socalist Chuck F 15:31, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Not in America, I know, but in the rest of the world it is usually used to refer to libertarians who are socialists. 195.92.67.71 16:03, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

So much for the compromising. You've just restored your version with its distoritons and POV. I have reverted to our comrpomise version. I expect you'll revert again, Chuck. I had a few moments of hope there but I guese you really are just a vandal. 195.92.67.71 16:05, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I agree with Chuck on the fact that "libertarian capitalism" is an unsuitable name for libertarianism, but I cannot agree with his methods. He is vandalizing and perpetrating an edit war rather than working to either (a) compromise on opinions or (b) convince people of facts. I think the facts speak for themselves on the established meaning of "libertarianism", but Chuck F apparently has no confidence in the facts and thinks that committing offenses in the name of "libertarianism" somehow helps. It does not. If Chuck will not go away or start behaving himself of his own accord, anyone who cares to petition for his removal from Wikipedia has my vote by whichever means necessary. --FOo 17:07, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I belive this term was created in relation to mainstream libertarians, not libertarians of any nature that belive in a capatalist system(aka geo-libertarains probly wouldn't fall into this catgory) ... Hence I think my verison(both of them verisons I wrote) I'm reverting to is better suited Chuck F 20:33, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Your version is unacceptable because
 * You're inserting snide comments into the article, insinuating the term was made up to attack libertarianism, despite the other term being in much longer use than the American political movement
 * Your version discounts the intellectual tradition associated with said other tradition.
 * Do you think the title capitalist libertarianism is better for the American-originating political movement? Assume that the title Libertarianism is already taken -- it must be used for disambiguation. What title do you suggest would be best for the movement? It is clearly distinct from Anarcho-Communism (having had friends move from one to the other gives me a perspective). --Improv 16:23, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Question... what is the correct term for modern liberal? Chuck F 18:02, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * If modern liberal had several different conflicting meanings, I would attempt to insert additional words as needed to disambiguate the terms. --Improv 18:54, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * my point excatly, there is still some people who use liberal to referar to what modern libertarianism is... but they are so far and few that liberal has it's main defination now Chuck F 06:26, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * The classic liberal position is by no means the same thing as the American Libertarian movement. The critical figures in classic liberalism supported the existance of several parts of government that would be considered welfare-state-ish and unacceptable by the latter movement. American Libertarianism (or Capitalist Libertarianism, take your pick) has no stake to the term classic liberal beyond a superficial similarity. There's no particular shame in this lack of a tie though. Why does it matter how old a philosophy or political movement is? For that matter, why does it bother you so much that the term Libertarian has been used before, and is not exclusively belonging to one camp within it? --Improv 12:41, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * We've had this argument on the libertarian pages,,, look thourgh the vast amount of arguments.. conensues came to the fact classical liberal was closely related to libertarianism. It doesn't bother me that the word has been used before(although the fact that it's been used before in a different language where the word isn't even the same word is logic that befalls me), my problem is you know some people use the word dog to refer to a friend, yet the dog page isn't a disambig page Chuck F 14:02, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * That would be a metaphorical connection, and is not at all in the same scope as the animal classification. If dog were used in a non-metaphor way to identify a friend's biology (that's not "Man's best friend"), then we might have some reworking to do. --Improv 14:54, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

My rewrite

 * I feel the current rewrite, by me, is the best one we have (yet) because:
 * It notes the history of the term
 * It notes common and philosophical usage
 * It is not rude, accusatory, nor does it claim ownership by any group
 * All the other versions I've seen, especially those by Chuck F, appear to have serious faults. If you disagree, why don't we go over the exact text of the various versions, discussing why each part is there, and perhaps we'll come to a better understanding of where our differences lie. --Improv 13:51, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Your version has my complete approval. If someone feels an extreme urge to revert it, could you please explain on this talk page first? Rhobite 14:22, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)

It claims that this has moderate usage... that's not true less then 700 hits goggle(less then 550 before this got listed on wikipedia), half of which are not the actual term(rather people listing I'm a beliver in libertarian,capitalism,free-will). Means the term has next to no usage... plus the predate thing is compleatly not true. And mainstream is not pov that's compleatly valid 203.169.250.28 14:57, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Try both permutations of the word. Also, note that this is partly to distinguish free-market libertarians from socialist libertarians, and there has been a great deal of confusion because both groups have at times claimed exclusive use of the term (along, of course, with the philosophical term, which is quite unrelated). --Improv 16:27, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Edit
I notice one of the edits is:

Libertarian Capitalism is a term created by a small amount of people to refer to mainstream libertarianism. They use the term to distinguish belivers of mainstream libertarianism from others, such as libertarian socialists. The term is not one that is in every-day political or general use.

Isn't this a weasel term?! - Ta bu shi da yu 17:28, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * It's a veiled reference to the people who have been voicing their opposition to Chuck F's domination of this page. Rhobite 17:37, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)

 * the page is dead-wrong now... the most glaring being, The term Libertarian Capitalism DOES FOR SURE not pre-date the current usage of libertarian. That's ridiclous... you're telling me they created a term for people for this group with the word libertarian, before they started using the term libertarian? Chuck F 08:54, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Redirect
Libertarian capitalism is an expression that some people (not very many, as far as I can tell) use to refer to the same thing as what the article on libertarianism is about. We only need one article on the subject. Therefore, one of them should be a redirect to the other. Since this page has little or no useful text, I am making it the redirect. Of course, we can discuss on libertarianism the option of moving that page elsewhere. - Nat Krause 03:08, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Draft for a RfC on the issue
You all are invited to visit and comment on a draft for a RfC on this and related articles that will eventually likely become a poll. Please remember we are not discussing the topic itself, just the suitable neutral number of issues we want to cover. --Improv 17:12, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

from VfD
In the fall of 2004, this article was nominated for deletion. No concensus was ever reached and the discussion was never properly closed. I am now archiving that old discussion. See Votes for deletion/Libertarian capitalism for a record of the debate. Rossami (talk) 20:18, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Redirection from POV Right Libertarianism article
Since Right Libertarianism is a pejorative term used mainly by opponents, this is a better title for the article. The following link shows how Rothbard thought the term right libertarianism was "bewildering", and shows that he put it in scare quotes. https://mises.org/library/left-and-right-within-libertarianism

 * Some asshole just reverted it, without giving any reason why. Write your reasons here. Or is he just some lefty who wants to use that pejorative term? Who knows? I guess I have to wait a few hours before reverting, due to the 3RR rule. PhilLiberty (talk) 16:44, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Read the 3RR page again, intent trumps technicality. Usedtobecool  ✉ ✨ 17:00, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that Right Libertarianism is generally a non-neutral pejorative, double so for the lead sentence which say the "right wing libertarianism" is a synonym. I'd favor reducing the article to a few paragraphs which cover the usage of the term.  But re-direct is also fine. North8000 (talk) 21:05, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Just for one second, did it occur to you that when multiple editors are all reverting your changes, you might just possibly be doing something wrong? Stop now, before you dig yourself any further into the 3RR hole and learn something.  Since you obviously never read edit summaries and just plough ahead, barely taking a breath to abuse other editors left right and centre, I'll spell it out here.  Do not cut and paste the contents of one article into another.  This loses the attribution history and is unnecessary.  When the title of an article needs to be changed (I take no position on this, but it does seem to be disputed, or at least under discussion), the article can be renamed.  This keeps the history of edits on the article all in together.  After an article has been renamed, it should usually be edited for consistency with the new title.  In some cases, you will not have sufficient permissions to rename an article, especially if there is non-trivial history at the new title.  In that case, go to WP:RM and follow the instructions.  In this case, I would suggest that this is a controversial move, so a discussion will be help.  After about a week, assuming the discussion was broadly in favour of the new name, someone with suitable editing rights will then rename the page.  Please, don't step further over the 3RR line, it will only get you blocked, and please stop using abusive language towards other editors.  Lithopsian (talk) 21:29, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that you are mostly right. Except for possibly not noticing that PhilLiberty has not had anywhere near the wiki experience to learn our unusual alternate universe. PhilLiberty, we need to slow down and sort this out.  Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 00:34, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but PhilLiberty has had it explained to them numerous times, and continues to ignore WP policies and procedures. In addition, they are incredibly uncivil, and if they keep it up, they are most likely looking at being banned, or at least topic banned. WP:CUTANDPASTE moves are not allowed, and yet they persist in doing them.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:38, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * North8000, was that sarcasm regarding PhilLiberty not having wiki experience? Your comment prompted me to look at their user talk page history and I see there numerous discussions there about 3RR violations and cut-and-paste moves, exactly the issues at hand here, going back almost eight years. --Pfhorrest (talk) 06:32, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * It was just a glance at number of edits (1k and change) . IMO starting to figure out the giant alternate universe of Wikipedia happens at about 10,000 edits. For me I learned about avoiding copying large blocks of text somewhere around my 30,000th edit. Once you read the policies and guidelines (About 1.4 million words of crowd-sourced rules in 350 documents with a large amount of overlap and conflict.) you are just getting started.  :-)   North8000 (talk) 13:08, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * There's also this. Usedtobecool  ✉ ✨ 07:53, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * And again an editor has done a cut and paste move. At this point, when it's been explained numerous times, disruptive edits like that can and should be treated as vandalism. Particularly, when they accuse other editors who are fixing the mistake of vandalism. Personally, I don't care what the page is named, but if the decision, by consensus, is that the main title should be Libertarian capitalism, then a page move must be made, and probably a history merge would be appropriate as well.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:26, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

PhilLiberty, while I agree that the Right Libertarianism article is problematic as-is, and agree with some of your arguments, you must stop doing what you are doing. Massive changes not only without consensus but without even one other editor supporting them.North8000 (talk) 14:08, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Right-libertarianism which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 20:15, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Work on Libertarian capitalism is in progress
Since editors at Right libertarism oppose a move of that article, we can now do a separate article here that is more objective. Hopefully, vandals will not follow us to this page and try to destroy this article. Oh! Some are already doing just that. Some asshole (Lithopsian) is repeatedly trying to redirect this article over to the biased POV Right-libertarian article. PhilLiberty (talk) 16:14, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I predict that you'll be blocked within the week, and not because you repeatedly abuse other editors although that would be reason enough. Lithopsian (talk) 16:22, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Fuck you for destroying this article again. Oh well, I'll have to wait until tomorrow, since I've already reverted your vandalism twice today. PhilLiberty (talk) 16:27, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Read WP:POVFORK for why this is not okay. Also, from WP:3RR, "The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times". Waiting a day doesn't make it not edit warring. --Pfhorrest (talk) 17:09, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Jan Altink

Jan Altink (21 October 1885 – 6 December 1971) was a Dutch expressionist painter and cofounder of De Ploeg.

Life
Jan Altink was born on 21 October 1885 in Groningen in the Netherlands.

He studied at the Kunstnijverheidsschool (circa 1900) and Academie Minerva (circa 1911). In 1918, he was a cofounder of the artists' association and movement De Ploeg. It was named in reference to breaking new ground.

Altink's work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Altink died, at the age of 86, in the city of Groningen on 6 December 1971.

Work
Auction house Christie's described Altink as being "widely regarded as the purest 'Groninger' of all Ploeg artists".

After studying paintings alleged to be the work of Altink, Dutch art expert Milko den Leeuw testified in a forgery case that the pictological “handwriting” of some works that had been contributed to him did not match his other paintings, but were a perfect match for those produced by an accused forger, the Dutch painter and art collector Cor van Loenen, under his own name.

Kyōwa

Kyōwa (享和) was a Japanese era name (年号) after Kansei and before Bunka. This period spanned the years from February 1801 through February 1804. The reigning emperor was Kōkaku-tennō (光格天皇).

Change of era

 * February 5, 1801 (Kyōwa gannen (享和元年)): a new era name was created because of the belief that the 58th year of every cycle of the Chinese zodiac brings great changes. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Kansei 13.

The new era name was drawn from an hortatory aphorism: "Follow Heaven and take your destiny, unite all people and perfect your righteousness" (順乎天而享其運、応乎人而和其義).

Events of the Kyōwa era

 * December 9, 1802 (Kyōwa 2, 15th day of the 11th month): Earthquake in northwest Honshū and Sado Island (Latitude: 37.700/Longitude: 138.300), 6.6 magnitude on the Richter Scale.
 * December 28, 1802 (Kyōwa 2, 4th day of the 12th month): Earthquake on Sado Island (Latitude: 38.000/Longitude: 138.000).

Talk:List of monarchs of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia

Comment
This page was incorrectly at Monarchs of Armenia, but these people ruled an Armenian kingdom in what's now southern Turkey. I have moved the page to reflect the correct context. Isomorphic 00:27, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I have edited the page to make it clearer what they ruled. However, I don't know what they syled themselves.  Did they claim the title "King of Armenia"?  Isomorphic 19:35, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * They are referred to as "King (or Queen) or Armenia" in all the references I have seen, which is what led to the original faulty nomenclature. Zannah 00:45, Nov 3, 2004 (UTC)

After elevation of realm to a kingdom, numbers on kings reset. And so called Roupen II was a simple minor who is not eve considered a ruler. Just a succesor who was deposed.

 * I asked User:Eupator for a list of suggested transliterations, which he graciously provided, (see my talk page), but I've been postponing that project until I fill out the royal biographies covered by Kurkjian's History of Armenia and the texts Robert Bedrosian has put online. As regards the other issues, some sources renumber the rulers after the elevation, some don't. I tend to prefer a continuous series of numbering, which avoids the issue of what to call Rupen I, etc., other than "of Armenia," but I'd be interested in the opinions of other Wikipedians working on Armenian history. As for the unfortunate Rupen II, it's normal practice to include minor kings in the West, such as John I of France or Edward V of England in the succession and numbering, and I don't see why it should be different here.

"Lords of the Mountains"???
This particular title, "Lords of the Mountains", is not sourced anywhere, there are very few Google hits, and  The Armenian Kingdom in Cilicia During the Crusades by Jacob Ghazarian (a foremost source) does not mention this. Moreover, it lacks specificity (it lacks a placename reference. I decided to Be Bold and have instead used Prince.  Thanks, MapMaster 04:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Pretenders
For titles of the House of Savoy post-1485, see and. From 1632, the Dukes of Savoy began to use the style "King of Cyprus etc.", which etcetera may perhaps include Jerusalem and Armenia; by 1720 they were using Cyprus and Jerusalem (no etc.), and only after 1861 does "King of Armenia" appear among the titles of the Kings of Italy. Admittedly, the arms of Armenia were included in the quarterings of Savoy all along. Choess (talk) 03:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Piano Sonata No. 7 (Beethoven)

Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 7 in D major, Op. 10, No. 3, was dedicated to the Countess Anne Margarete von Browne, and written in 1798. This makes it contemporary with his three Op. 9 string trios, his three Op. 12 violin sonatas, and the violin and orchestra romance that became his Op. 50 when later published. The year also saw the premiere of a revised version of his second piano concerto, whose original form had been written and heard in 1795.

Structure
It is divided into four movements: 1. Presto,

2. Largo e mesto,, D minor

3. Menuetto: Allegro,, D major → G major → D major

4. Rondo: Allegro,

Analysis
The Op. 10 sonatas are usually described as angular or experimental, as Beethoven began moving further and further away from his earlier models. This third sonata of the set is the longest at approximately 24 minutes. It is the only one of the Op. 10 sonatas that has four movements. The second movement is famous for its intimations of later tragic slow movements, as well as for its own beauty.

I. Presto
The first movement is in sonata form.

II. Largo e mesto
The second movement is in ternary form.

III. Menuetto: Allegro
The third movement is in ternary form.

IV. Rondo
The fourth movement is in rondo form.

Kansei

Kansei (寛政) was a Japanese era name (年号) after Tenmei and before Kyōwa. This period spanned the years from January 1789 through February 1801. The reigning emperor was Kōkaku-tennō (光格天皇).

Change of era

 * 1789 Kansei gannen (寛政元年): The new era name of  Kansei (meaning "Tolerant Government" or "Broad-minded Government") was created to mark a number of calamities, including a devastating fire at the Imperial Palace. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Tenmei 9, on the 25th day of the 1st month.

Events of the Kansei era
The broad panoply of changes and new initiatives of the Tokugawa shogunate during this era became known as the Kansei Reforms.

Matsudaira Sadanobu (1759–1829) was named the shōgun's chief councilor (rōjū) in the summer of 1787; and early in the next year, he became the regent for the 11th shōgun, Tokugawa Ienari. As the chief administrative decision-maker in the bakufu hierarchy, he was in a position to effect radical change; and his initial actions represented an aggressive break with the recent past. Sadanobu's efforts were focused on strengthening the government by reversing many of the policies and practices which had become commonplace under the regime of the previous shōgun, Tokugawa Ieharu. These reform policies could be interpreted as a reactionary response to the excesses of his rōjū predecessor, Tanuma Okitsugu (1719–1788); and the result was that the Tanuma-initiated, liberalizing reforms within the bakufu and the relaxation of sakoku (Japan's "closed-door" policy of strict control of foreign merchants) were reversed or blocked.

 * 1790 (Kansei 2): Sadanobu and the shogunate promulgate an edict addressed to Hayashi Kinpō, the rector of the Edo Confucian Academy -- "The Kansei Prohibition of Heterodox Studies" (kansei igaku no kin). The decree banned certain publications and enjoined strict observance of Neo-Confucian doctrine, especially with regard to the curriculum of the official Hayashi school.

Tenmei

Tenmei (天明) is a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, literally "years name") for the years between the An'ei Era and before the Kansei Era, from April 1781 through January 1789. The reigning emperor was Kōkaku Tennō' (光格天皇).

Change of era

 * 1781 Tenmei gannen (天明元年): The new era name of Tenmei (meaning "dawn") was created to mark the enthronement of Emperor Kōkaku. The previous era ended and the new one commenced on the second day of the fourth month in what had been An'ei 11.

As is customary for choosing nengō, the name was selected from a passage in a historical Chinese text. In this case, the text was Classic of History (書経) (also quoted in The Great Learning (大學)), more specifically from the first of the King Tai Jia (大甲) chapters. It says: "先王顧諟天之明命..." meaning "The former king kept his eye continually on the bright requirements of Heaven, [and...]." This is continued with a description of reverence, virtue, and prosperity for the lands. From this, the two characters 天 and 明 were selected.

Events of the Tenmei Era

 * 1782 (Tenmei 2): The Tenmei famine is said to have begun.
 * 1782 (Tenmei 2): An analysis of silver currency in China and Japan was presented to the Emperor by Minamoto no Masatsuna.
 * 1783 (Tenmei 3): Mount Asama (浅間山,) erupted in Shinano province, only 80 miles northwest of Edo, with a loss of life estimated at more than 20,000 (Tenmei eruption). [Today, Asama-yama's location is better described as on the border between Gunma Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture]. Japanologist Isaac Titsingh's published account of the Asama-yama eruption became the first of its kind in the West (1820). The volcano's devastation makes the Great Tenmei Famine even worse. Much of the agriculture of Shinano Province and Kōzuke Province remained unproductive or under-producing for the next four or five years.
 * 1783 (Tenmei 3): Famine was exacerbated, according to 20th-century studies, because after eight years of near- or actual famine, neither the authorities nor the people had any reserves left to meet further drought and crop failures during the Great Tenmei Famine.
 * 1784 (Tenmei 4): Country-wide celebrations took place in honor of Kōbō-Daishi, founder of Shingon Buddhism, who had died 950 years earlier.
 * 1784 (Tenmei 4): The son of the Shōgun's rōjū (chief counselor) was assassinated inside Edo Castle. The comparatively young wakadoshiyori (junior counselor) Tanuma Okitomo was the son of the senior councilor Tanuma Okitsugu. The younger Tanuma was killed in front of his father as both were returning to their norimono (carriage) after a meeting of the Counselors of State had broken up. The involvement of senior figures in the Bakufu was suspected, but no one other than the lone assassin himself was punished. The result was that the liberalizing reforms that the older Tanuma had initiated were blocked.
 * September 17, 1786 (Tenmei 6, 25th day of the eighth month): Shōgun Tokugawa Ieharu died and was buried in Edo.
 * 1787 (Tenmei 7): Tokugawa Ienari became the 11th Shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate.
 * 1787 (Tenmei 7): Kutsuki Masatsuna published Seiyō Senpu (Notes on Western Coinage), with plates showing European and colonial currency.
 * 1788 (Tenmei 7): Riots broke out in rice shops in Edo and Osaka.
 * 1788 (Tenmei 8): Great Fire of Kyoto. A fire began in the city at three o'clock in the morning of March 6 (Tenmei 8, 29th day of the first month), and continued to burn uncontrolled until March 8 (first day of the second month). Embers smoldered until they were extinguished by heavy rain on March 11 (fourth day of the second month). The Emperor and his court fled the fire, and the Imperial Palace was destroyed. No other rebuilding was permitted until a new palace was completed. This fire was considered to be a major event. The opperhoofd of the VOC 'in Dejima noted in his official record book that "people are considering it to be a great and extraordinary heavenly portent".

Evert Collier

Evert Collier (26 January 1642 – few days before 8 September 1708) was a Dutch Golden Age still-life painter known for vanitas and trompe-l'œil paintings. His first name is sometimes spelled "Edward" or "Edwaert" or "Eduwaert" or "Edwart," and his last name is sometimes spelled "Colyer" or "Kollier".

Life
Collier was baptized Evert Calier in Breda, North Brabant. He was trained in Haarlem, where his earliest paintings show the influence of Vincent Laurensz van der Vinne, who became a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke in 1649, and whose son Laurens van der Vinne listed "Evert Colier" in 1702 as one of the Haarlem guild members who had known his father. Van der Vinne was probably his teacher when Collier registered with the Haarlem guild in 1664. They both later influenced the Haarlem still-life painter Barend van Eisen.

By 1667, Collier had moved to Leiden, where he became a member of the Leiden Guild of St. Luke in 1673. He moved to Amsterdam by 1686 and to London in 1693. He returned to Leiden in the years 1702–1706, based on signed and dated works there, but was back in London at the end of his life where he was buried September 8, 1708 at St. James's, Piccadilly.

The Denver Art Museum, the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery (United Kingdom), the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam) and the Tate (London) are among the public collections having paintings by Evert Collier.

The US historian, Dror Wahrman, has written a book on Collier's trompe-l'œil works, Mr. Collier's Letter Racks (OUP, 2014). The book brings together a wide range of the painter's still lifes from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, mostly from the time when Collier was living in London. Their themes were almost exclusively arrangements of journals, engravings, letters, medals, combs, sealing wax sticks and other ephemera, signifying an updating of the older 'memento mori' still life model.

Works
His works tend to be an arrangement of pieces of paper painted to "pop out" of the surface in a trompe-l'œil fashion. Like Van der Vinne before him, he often included prints, but these tended to be popular prints of the day.

An oil on canvas painting (Vanitas Still Life with Globe, Skull and Violin) previously attributed to Collier was later attributed to Pieter Legouch.

 * 1) A Trompe-l'œil of Newspapers, Letters and Writing Implements on a Wooden Board (1699), 58.8 × 46.2 cm
 * 2) Edward Collier (1683), Oil on Canvas, 44.4 × 52.8 cm
 * 3) Still Life (1699), Oil on Canvas, 76.2 × 63.5 cm
 * 4) Still Life: The Smell (1695), Oil on Canvas, 24 5/8 × 20 1/2 in
 * 5) Still Life: Parliament (1695), Oil on Canvas, 24 1/2 x 29 3/4 in, M.S. Rau Antiques, New Orleans

Balmain East
203.217.94.144 claims that Balmain East is not a suburb as such. According to the Geographical Names Act 1966, NSW suburb designation is the responsibility of the Geographical Names Board. According to the them, Balmain East is a fully fledged suburb.. I'll revert the change, and make the relevent changes to Balmain East. Chovain 23:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Residents
I decided to be bold and made some changes to the "Famous residents" section. I hope noone minds, but I think the changes were important to avoid the list getting out of control with unconfirmed and non-notable additions. I'm not overly attached to the new format, so feel free to massacre it if you like :). Chovain 08:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Film trivia
I've condensed the new film facts into a new trivia section, as I don't feel there's enough there (yet) to warrant a new section. Certianly, this could probably be expanded, and get its own section. As it stood, the content did not confirm that Balmain had "featured extensively", as claimed in the Literature section's intro.

I've also added a couple of (very weak) references for the two bits of trivia. I'd like to see these improved. Mark Chovain 07:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Notable residents
I removed Mark Hoath and Paddy Hall from the list of notable residents.
 * I can't find a reliable reference indicating that Mark Hoath is actually a resident. I also can't find anything that indicates he is notable.
 * I assume "Paddy" Hall is actually Sean Angus? I'd like to see him listed as much as anyone (great guy to drink with), but I really don't think he passes the notability criteria.  If he'd get off his bum and write us another movie, we might be able to get him back in ;). Mark Chovain 11:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

An'ei

An'ei (安永) was a Japanese era name (年号) after Meiwa and before Tenmei. This period spanned the years November 1772 through March 1781. The reigning emperors were Go-Momozono-tennō (後桃園天皇) and Kōkaku-tennō (光格天皇).

Change of era

 * 1772 An'ei gannen (安永元年): The era name was changed to An'ei (meaning "peaceful eternity") to mark the enthronement of Emperor Go-Momozono and in hopes of turning attention from the serial catastrophic devastation from fires and storms in Meiwa 9. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in the 11th month of Meiwa 9.

Events of the An'ei era

 * 1775 (An'ei 4): Epidemic diseases spread across the country – in Edo alone, an estimated 190,000 perished.
 * 1775 (An'ei 4): Swedish physician and botanist Carl Peter Thunberg arrives at VOC outpost or "factory" in Nagasaki bay; and ultimately, his scientific activities will result in the first detailed, descriptive survey of the flora and fauna of the Japanese archipelago.
 * 1778 (An'ei 7): Kyoto suffers a massive flood.
 * 1778 (An'ei 7): Volcanic island of Sakurajima erupts one mile away from Kagoshima – 16,000 dead.
 * 1779 (An'ei 8): Dutch surgeon and cultural-anthropologist Isaac Titsingh arrives at Dejima for the first of three terms as Opperhoofd or captain of the VOC station; and ultimately, his seminal research will become a noteworthy step in that process in which the Japanese begin to describe and characterize themselves in their own terms. Titsingh's correspondence with William Marsden, a philologist colleague in the Royal Society in London, provides some insight into his personal appreciation of the task at hand. In an 1809 letter, he explains:

"To form a proper idea of the spirit, the character, and the customs of a Nation, almost unknown in Europe, I deemed it preferable to represent them in their own dress, rather than to enter myself into particular details, always infected by the manner of considering the facts, notwithstanding the utmost endeavors to be guided by truth in the most essential parts. [T]o obtain this end, I applied during my stay in Japan to some friends, reputed as men of learning, and free from all national prejudices. [T]hey procured me such works on various topicks, as enjoy'd with them the highest regard. [H]aving succeeding in this, a literal translation appeared to me more congenial with the purpose, and likely to be more satisfactory to the desire for more distinct notions on a people almost unknown, though fully deserving the attention, since a number of years so profusely lavished on the Chinese."

- Isaac Titsingh

 * Bakufu policy in this era was designed to marginalize the influence of foreigners in An'ei Japan; however, an unintended and opposite consequence of sakoku was to enhance the value and significance of a very small number of thoughtful observers like Thunberg and Titsingh, whose writings document what each scholar learned or discovered first-hand. Thunberg's and Titsingh's published accounts and their unpublished writings provided a unique and useful perspective for Orientalists and Japanologists in the 19th century; and the work of both men continues to be rigorously examined by modern researchers today.

 * 1780 (An'ei 9): Heavy rains and floods in the Kantō necessitate extensive government relief in the flood-stricken areas.

Kum Nye

Kum Nye and sKu-mNyé are a wide variety of Tibetan religious and medical body practices.

Many Tibetan Buddhist and Bon traditions contain Kum Nye practices. These can be entirely different both in purpose and in methods. For instance, some forms are very slow-moving; others are intensely aerobic. The Tibetan Medical Tantras (scriptures) are the basis for some practices, and are mainly therapeutic. Dzogchen is the basis for other practices which are mainly religious in purpose.

Three systems of sku mnye have been described and taught in detail in English. These are Kum Nye by Tarthang Tulku, the Aro gTér sKu-mNyé and the systems of bsku mnye, that are taught by the International Academy for Traditional Tibetan Medicine and the Shang Shung Institute.

Etymology
The two terms Kum Nye and sKu-mNyé are different spellings in the Latin alphabet of the same Tibetan phrase Wylie: sku mnye, which literally means "massage of the subtle body". Some forms of sku mnye are vaguely similar to Yoga, Tai chi, Qigong, or therapeutic massage. Kum Nye, Ku Nye, and Kunye are also used to transcribe the Tibetan phrases dku mnye ("belly massage") and bsku mnye (oil massage), pronounced identically to sku mnye. dKu mnye and bsku mnye manipulate the physical body, rather than the subtle (energetic) one.

Tarthang Tulku's Kum Nye
Lama Tarthang Tulku first introduced Kum Nye into the West. He has written five books on the subject.

This system appears to be largely from the Medical Tantras, but includes exercises similar to those found in the Dzogchen series. It is based on very slow movements, stillness practices, and massage. This Kum Nye has been described as Inner Massage.

Exercises
To give an example, in the exercise called "flying" the practitioner extends their arms slowly out from the side up to stretching above the head and then slowly back down again. One cycle can take anywhere between 2 and 10 minutes. The practice of breathing in and out of both nose and mouth at the same time is recommended while doing the exercises. The key is to pay close attention to the subtleties of sensations and the quality of experience while doing the exercises, thus linking body and mind in the presence of awareness given to the sensations.

Aro gTér sKu-mNyé
This system is part of the Aro gTér, a Nyingma terma. It is described in detail in the book moving being, by Khandro Déchen.

Aro sKu-mNyé belongs to Longdé, the section of Dzogchen concerned with the subtle body. As with all Dzogchen methods, its main goal is to realize rigpa, or non-dual awareness. This is described as "finding the presence of awareness in the dimension of sensation". Physical exercises are used to "shake" the tsa-lung system of energetic "channels", winds", and "essences". This perceptually disorients the practitioner, and produces "zap nyams". Zap nyams (Wylie: zab nyams), literally "profound experiences" in Tibetan, are described as "intense psychophysical sensations".  These are said to occur in the energetic space that surrounds the body, rather than in the physical body.

Although the purpose of the Aro gTér sKu-mNyé is mainly religious, the system is said also to have a variety of mundane benefits, including more vivid sensory experience, emotional openness, enhanced meditation, physical fitness, and lessening of depression.

In practice, Aro sKu-mNyé is a set of 111 movement exercises divided into series that correspond to the Buddhist five elements. They range from simple and gentle to vigorous and extremely difficult, and bear no similarity to any other Eastern or Western form of exercise. The moving exercises are alternated with periods of motionless meditation. The instructions for the Aro sKu-mNyé exercises frequently give very specific details about eye movements.

Aro sKu-mNyé is taught by instructors certified by a board headed by the Aro Lamas.

Exercise example: "waking lion"
''lie on your back / legs splayed as far apart as comfortable / arms 90 degrees to your body / palms upwards / eyes closed / simultaneously (with a quick movement) raise your torso and legs (legs straight and locked at the knee) / simultaneously clap feet together and hands together (arms are straight and locked at the elbow) / in the moment of clapping, open eyes wide and shout Ra! (roll the 'R' to enunciate fiercely) / when clapping feet and hands, eyes, hands, and feet should be at the same height – feet and hands meet at the same level as your eyes; and at this point your bottom is all that is touching the floor / it is important that the back is kept absolutely straight / try to achieve an angle of 45 degrees to the floor, but NOT by bending your back – bending the back will result in injury! / Relax back into the starting position and repeat''

IATTM Ku Nye
The Ku Nye taught by the International Academy for Traditional Tibetan Medicine is a system of therapeutic oil massage. It is based in the Medical Tantras. Its benefits are said to include elimination of toxins, increased vitality, pain reduction, and calming of nervous disorders including insomnia, depression and anxiety.

Shang Shung Institute Kunye
The Shang Shung Institute, affiliated with Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, offers a Training program in Kunye Massage.

Hello. I noticed you created the page Evert Collier; it contained one sentence, saying simply that Evert Collier was a painter. I deleted it because it was one sentence long and gave no context. If you could expand the article to about a paragraph, telling about Collier's genre, some of his famous works, his trademarks, etc, it could probably be retained. Thanks. Rdsmith4— Dan | Talk 00:42, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Hi. Please don't resubmit articles that have been speedy-deleted and then turn around and add another single-sentence page that says nothing about the artist in question other than he was a painter.  Such behavior can be construed as vandalism and could lead to you being blocked from editing. See the Manual of style or feel free to leave a question on my talk page.

Feedback from homosexuals:

"Soren Andersson, the president of the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights, said on hearing Green's jail sentence that religious freedom could never be used as a reason to offend people."

Sick fagots. - User:66.27.147.94

 * That seems to be one (1) homosexual, not homosexuals, and faggots has two g's. Just in case you want to get it right on your placard at the next fag-bashing. - Outerlimits 01:06, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Actually, Outerlimits, faggots is alternatively spelled with one g too, although I prefer the former, personally. Эйрон Кинни  05:00, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

We have an incorrect perspective on life. We look at it from our standpoint and not God's. Life is His creation, not ours. His to do with as He pleases, not ours. He sets the standards for living, not us. And he will judge (ultimate "offend" or approve), not us. The way we live this short life we are given determines what kind of eternity we will have. Our personal eternity will be blessed or cursed dependent upon our personal lived out faith in God Our Saviour.

 * We seem to have an incorrect perspective on encyclopedias.. (and this coming from a bigoted conservative fundamentalist zealot)

 * As a non-bigoted fairly liberal theist, I have to say that it is worrisome that someone could be imprisoned merely for saying something "offensive". The quotes given in this article from his sermon (assuming that they're A) genuine, and B) are in proper context) certainly don't seem like hate speech to me, but rather, simply taking a stand that, while I disagree with it, is his right to hold.  Unless somehwere in his sermon he advocated violence against homosexuals, I can't see why it would be classified as hate speech. Nik42 03:23, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * As an aside, Christians denouncing homosexuality is just like Buddhists denouncing smoking (or whatever they denounce). Christians don't hate homosexuals any more than Buddhists hate smokers.

 * I agree with Nik42. Shows you I am not a bigot, eh? Эйрон Кинни  19:47, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Uh..., I would like to address the comment that came just before Nik42's. For one, whomever posted that comment, does not know the person they were speaking of. If you don't even know a person, how are you going to call them a Fundamentalist zealot? Furthermore, when did being a Christian mean someone is a bigot? I'm concerned. Эйрон Кинни  05:00, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, some Swedish gay activists are already rallying to get Bible labelled as "hate literature". Consequently, they demand that only a censored version should be available in public libraries, schools and bookstores. In particular, they demand that Romans 1:24-32 chapter should be completely erased from the New Testament.
 * This certainly seems relevant. Could I bother you to dig up a link? :)
 * Yes, I would like to know more about this too. Эйрон Кинни  17:01, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

("Offense" vs. "persecution")
(another heading inserted for readability ... said: Rursus ( m bork³ ) 10:20, 16 December 2009 (UTC))

Offending someone is not against the law in Sweden. Hate campaigns against a group based on race, sex or sexual preference are, as it is considered anti-democratic. I believe Poland and Germany have similar protections for minorities. As for Sören Andersson's comment on offending people, it was a mistranslation. "Få hets" means "to be persecuted," not "to be offended." I have fixed it. Input junkie 18:50, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * User:193.166.89.77 reinserted "offend" as a possible alternative translation of Sören Andersson's words. I concur with Input junkie that this is incorrect. What Andersson said (according to national news agency TT ), was "Religionsfrihet kan aldrig innebära att hetsa mot människor". "Hetsa mot" means "to persecute", "to bait" or "to agitate against". It cannot in any circumstance I can think of correctly be translated to "offend" (since you can "hetsa mot" somebody without the object even knowing it). (The closest Swedish equivalents of "offend" would be "förolämpa" or "kränka", and possibly "förnärma".) Just because someone somewhere made an erroneous translation into English, it shouldn't be replicated in Wikipedia. Alarm 18:59, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I did it mainly because the "this stand worries religious people" thing doesn't really make sense without it. Everywhere where the statement has raised worries, it's been translated as "offend". I'll check with a translator once I have the time.

 * Since Input junkie said the same thing, and no other Swedish-English translation authority has been referred to, I'm taking out the reference to "offend". The following sentence, "Many religious people have found this stand deeply worrying" is both unsourced and using weasel terms, and the previous post makes the point that it is to some degree dependent on the incorrect translation. Due to those reasons I'm removing the sentence. If anyone wants to reinsert it, please cite your sources and specify the worried parties in question. / Alarm 14:15, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * It caused a huge uproar in the right-leaning media, which is certainly relevant. I can't see how else it could have been expressed.

Liberal views
"Liberal groups see it as a victory for human rights" - that's not particularly true. In Sweden, almost all liberal groups and commentators have opposed the first verdict against Åke Green (I haven't seen one liberal yet who supports it), refering to the freedom of speach, which indeed is one of the most important cornerstones of the liberal ideology. I know that "liberal" in the U.S. almost has come to mean "left-wing" or "social democrat", but please use the correct term. /Jebur 16:54, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Generally, Wikipedia terminology favors American/English-language meanings. Yes, I know, liberal has a different meaning in the non-English-speaking world, but "liberal" is good here.
 * Actually, liberal doesn't quite mean what you appear to think it means in Australia which is English speaking Nil Einne 14:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I think anonymous'es clain that "liberal" is good here is incorrect. There's a considerable risk that the topic gets confused for that reason. Left and libertine should be better. Most "liberals" in Sweden would be considered rightists inclined towards a control society in other countries, somewhat like the American republicans, although pro-state. ... said: Rursus ( m bork³ ) 10:26, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

"Constitutional amendment"
The article states that
 * Sweden passed a constitutional amendment in 2002, including sexual orientation in a list of groups protected against "unfavorable speech."

This is a problematic sentence for several reasons. Mainly because although the constitution of Sweden mentions this subject, Åke Green wasn't prosecuted on basis of the constitution but on Brottsbalken 16:8, a section of the Swedish criminal law known as Lagen om hets mot folkgrupp (roughly "The Act on Persecution of Groups" or possibly "Hate Speech Act"). The section makes it illegal to "threaten or express disdain for [...] [a] group of persons, referring to [...] sexual orientation".

The corresponding section of the constitution, Tryckfrihetsförordningen 7:4 (11.), and Yttrandefrihetsgrundlagen 5:1, deal specifically with printed and broadcast expressions, since such expressions have a general constitutional protection and thus can't be prosecuted under criminal law, but only according to the process regulated in the constitution itself. A sermon is not covered by the constitutional protection for printed and broadcast expressions, so alleged "hate speech" in a sermon will be tried according to criminal law.

Since Swedish law in this case regulates similar offences in different places, I think it would be more appropriate to refer to "legal protection" without specification.

Secondly, "unfavorable speech" is a rather awkward translation of hets as in Lagen om hets mot folkgrupp (see discussion above). In my opinion, a more appropriate wording would be "persecution" or, alluding to the actual legal text, "threats and expressions of disdain".

On a side note, the term "constitutional amendment" isn't really appropriate in a Swedish context, since the Swedish constitution isn't really amended in the way the U.S. constitution is, but simply changed (because Swedes, unlike Americans, do not treat their constitution as a sacred document). Alarm 20:31, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Since there have been no objections to this, I'm changing the article along the lines of what is said above. / Alarm 14:22, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ambiguity on the page
Am I the only one who finds this page extremely confusing? Maybe it's not just the page... it's the situation. We have phelps praising green, for condemning gays, but hating him for saying they could repent. He honors him with a hate page. So now phelps is showing his appreciation for people by giving them a hate page? We have green's lawyer agreeing with green, and calling the law makers that incarcerated him gay nazis, but at the same time, denouncing Phelps, for denoucing green for denoucing gays but saying they could repent. Yeah, it's really that confusing.

The other confusing part is this: the decision to incarcerate Green was a "victory" for human rights? Isn't it a human right to have free speech? Now we have two liberal groups disagreeing: The ones that favor free speech over decency, and the ones that favor decncy over free speech. Well, which one is it?

Inclusion in Category : Homophobia
I think it is more than reasonable to call this guy homophobic, regardless of whether his homophobia comes from the bible interpretation or not. Therefore, I include the article in category Homophobia. Anybody disagrees? --Law Lord (talk) 09:36, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I do. His views, based on the both Old and New Testament, are no different than views of hundreds of millions of evangelical Christians wordwide. And I object to calling biblical beliefs by artificially created term "homophobia". Wikipedia is not a private property of LGBT organizations, and your discriminatory name-calling shouldn't have a place in it. Ammon86 (talk) 10:47, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment First of all, I am not from any LGBT-organization. Secondly, I do not think "homophobia" is name-calling; rather, it is an accurate asssesment of his beliefs. Thirdly, have you looked at the people who are in fact included in the category? There are plenty of Christians included, and when they have been included by consensus, I fail to see why Åke Green should be left out. --Law Lord (talk) 11:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * By what consensus? A group of homosexuals and their supporters trying to impose their ideology on the rest of the users you call consensus? It you do, it is such consensus like that in Iran between Ahmadinejad and Khamenei that the last elections were free and fair. And argument that there are plenty of Christians included into this category is like argument that plenty of Jews were killed in Nazi camps - why we should then object to the death of another one? We reached a "consensus" that they should be there.. Ammon86 (talk) 12:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I am calling Godwin's Law on you. Apart from that, it says in Homophobia that: "It is defined by behavior (such as discrimination) as well as motivation (such as fear, antipathy or contempt)." I do not think anybody would say that Åke Green has not shown antipathy towards gays and lesbians. Furthermore, it says on Category:Homophobia, "This category contains articles that discuss or refer to the topic of homophobia. It does not imply that the subjects of any biographical articles are homophobic." I do not think your strong post adds anything to the discussion. --Law Lord (talk) 22:14, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe the real problem is the name of the concept of homophobia. I think it is beyond discussion that there are such things as anti-homosexual viewpoints. This is a fact, it is not a condemnation of their views. So there should also be a category covering this theme. Åke Green definately fits into the category. However, it might be reasonable to change the Category:Homophobia to a more neutral title because homophobia is a somewhat value-judging concept (similar to islamophobia etc.) The ending -phobia indicates a mental disorder or, at least, something irrational. If Ammon86 wants to join into that discussion, do it on Talk:Homophobia or Category_talk:Homophobia, but don't do it by deleting random subjects from the category. --Sasper (talk) 22:46, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sasper makes good points; let's leave the category here unless and until one with a better name is generated. IronDuke  23:22, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * User:Ammon86 claimed that "homosexuals and their supporters [are] trying to impose their ideology on the rest of the users". Actually, Ammon86 has a Bible quote all over his user profile (and no further presentation). According to his user boxes he finds it suitable to proclaim himself a Charismatic/Pentecostal christian, pro-life, and he thinks a marriage only exists between a man and a woman. I think it is rather obvious he has a policial agenda - also clear from this edit - so he has really excluded himself from any serious debate. He removed the Category:Homophobia tag here too. He is just another of those hypocrites who are well described and frowned upon in the New Testament. Living in Poland, he should be cautious with comparisons to Jews in Nazi camps. Luke 6:42: You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye. Anyway, this is even worse than hypocrisy, because Ammon86 is acting wilfully misleading, so maybe the 2nd and 8th commandment are more appropriate here.--Sasper (talk) 01:38, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Article has a problem
After the lede, the article talks about the sentence as though it were confirmed, established and imposed.

Sarfati comments: reliable source?
Current version has:

"On the other side, Jonathan Sarfati, who agrees with Green's statement and has denounced Phelps,[9] called the law under which Green was jailed "sodomofascist" and the law's proponents "homonazis".[10]"

The sources given are http://webdiary.smh.com.au/archives/phil_uebergang_comment/001242.html and http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/feedback/2005/0218.asp. First link is broken and second is blank (for me at least), but in any case the first according to Wayback captures was a blog post in Sarfati's name and the second would have been self-published or effectively so (perhaps it would have been the same piece that's now http://creation.mobi/the-disingenuous-and-anti-christian-nature-of-gay-rights-rhetoric).

I don't doubt that Sarfati holds the opinions in question and has published them, but can't find any evidence of them being reported by a reliable source. Is there any other reliable source for these views? Presumably if Sarfati's views were significant in the debate about Green a reliable source would exist.

Sir Charles Hamilton, 2nd Baronet, of Marlborough House

Admiral Sir Charles Hamilton, 2nd Baronet KCB (25 May 1767 – 14 September 1849), was a British naval officer and commodore-governor of Newfoundland.

Life
Hamilton was born the eldest son of John Hamilton, a captain in the Royal Navy who had distinguished himself at the Battle of Quebec in 1775. Charles began his naval career at the age of nine on his father's ship, Hector. He attended the Royal Naval Academy at Portsmouth from 1777 to 1779.

He commanded a number of vessels in the Royal Navy and was also a member of the British parliament several times between 1790 and 1812 while still serving in the Royal Navy. He became the 2nd baronet Hamililton of Trebinshun on his father's death in 1784.

From 1818 to 1823 he served as resident governor for the colony of Newfoundland. During this period, he oversaw the reconstruction of St. John's following fires in 1818 and 1819. Although he was charged with promoting agriculture, he was soon discouraged by the poor soils of the island. The economy of the island was depressed due to decreased demand for Newfoundland cod and Hamilton encouraged diversification of the fisheries to include whales, seals and salmon.

Hamilton was promoted to admiral on 22 July 1830, and was awarded KCB in 1833.

He died at the family home at Iping, West Sussex in 1849. He had married Henrietta Martha, the daughter of George Drummond, a banker of Stanmore, Middlesex. Their only son, Sir Charles John James Hamilton, 3rd Baronet, also became an Army officer. Lady Hamilton painted a well-known portrait of Demasduit, also called Mary March, a Beothuk woman captured in 1818.

Legacy
Hamilton is the namesake of Hamilton Inlet and, formerly, of the Hamilton River (now the Churchill River), both in Labrador.

Meiwa

Meiwa (明和) was a Japanese era name (年号) after Hōreki and before An'ei. This period spanned the years from June 1764 through November 1772. The reigning empress and emperor were Go-Sakuramachi-tennō (後桜町天皇) and Go-Momozono-tennō (後桃園天皇).

Change of era

 * 1764 Meiwa gannen (明和元年): The era name became Meiwa (meaning "Bright Harmony") because of the enthronement of Empress Go-Sakuramachi.

As a cultural phenomenon, the literature of this period records concerted attempts to distill the aggregate characteristics of the inhabitants of Edo (Edokko) into a generalized thumbnail description. These traits (Edokko katagi) were put into use to draw a contrast between Edokko and those who did not have this "sophisticated" gloss—those not from the city, as in merchants from the Kyoto-Osaka region or samurai from distant provinces. Sometimes Edokko katagi was presented with pride; and it was used mockingly.

Events

 * 1765 (Meiwa 2): Five-momme coin issued.
 * 1766 (Meiwa 3): A planned insurrection to displace the Shōgun was thwarted.
 * 1768 (Meiwa 5): Five-momme usage halted.
 * 1770 (Meiwa 7): A typhoon flattened the newly built Imperial Palace in Kyoto.
 * 1770 (Meiwa 7): A great comet (Lexell's Comet) with a very long tail lit up the night skies throughout the summer and autumn.
 * 1770 (Meiwa 7): Although no one could have known it at the time, this was the first of 15 consecutive years of drought in Japan.
 * April 1, 1772 (Meiwa 9, 29th day of the 2nd month): "The Great Meiwa Fire"—one of the three greatest Edo fire disasters. Unofficial reports describe a swath of ashes and cinders nearly five miles wide and 15 mi long—destroying 178 temples and shrines, 127 daimyō residences, 878 non-official residences, 8705 houses of bannermen, and 628 blocks of merchant dwellings, with estimates of over 6,000 casualties. All this devastation subsequently engendered the staggering costs of reconstruction.
 * August 2, 1772 (Meiwa 9, 4th day of the 6th month): A terrible tempest hit the Kantō bringing floods and ruining crops.
 * August 17, 1772 (Meiwa 9, 19th day of the 6th month): Another storm with more flooding and winds no less intense blew down an estimated 4000 houses in Edo alone.
 * 1772 (Meiwa 9): At the time, it was said that "Meiwa 9 is Year of Trouble" because it was marked by an extraordinary succession of natural calamities. The pun was made linking the words "Meiwa" + "ku" (meaning "Meiwa 9") and the sound-alike word "meiwaku" (meaning "misfortune" or "annoyance").
 * 1772 (Meiwa 9, 11th month): The nengō was changed to Anei (meaning "eternal tranquillity"), but this symbolic act was proved futile.
