Wildmat

wildmat is a pattern matching library developed by Rich Salz. Based on the wildcard syntax already used in the Bourne shell, wildmat provides a uniform mechanism for matching patterns across applications with simpler syntax than that typically offered by regular expressions. Patterns are implicitly anchored at the beginning and end of each string when testing for a match.

In June 2019, Rich Salz released the original version of the now-defunct library on GitHub under a public domain dedication.

Pattern matching operations
There are five pattern matching operations other than a strict one-to-one match between the pattern and the source to be checked for a match.
 * Asterisk (*) to match any sequence of zero or more characters.
 * Question mark (?) to match any single character.
 * Set of specified characters. It is specified as a list of characters, or as a range of characters where the beginning and end of the range are separated by a minus (or dash) character, or as any combination of lists and ranges. The dash can also be included in the set as a character if it is the beginning or end of the set.  This set is enclosed in square brackets.  The close square bracket ( ] ) may be used in a set if it is the first character in the set.
 * Negation of a set. It is specified the same way as the set with the addition of a caret character (^) at the beginning of the test string just inside the open square bracket. (NNTP specifies an alternative !. The implementation can be configured to do either.)
 * Backslash (\) character to invalidate the special meaning of the open square bracket ( [ ), the asterisk, backslash or the question mark. Two backslashes in sequence will result in the evaluation of the backslash as a character with no special meaning.

Examples

 * *foo* 	  matches string containing "foo".
 * mini*      matches anything that begins with "mini" (including the string "mini" itself).
 * ???*       matches any string of three and more letters.
 * [0-9a-zA-Z] matches every single alphanumeric ASCII character.
 * [^]-]      matches a character other than a close square bracket or a dash.

Usage
wildmat is most commonly seen in NNTP implementations such as Salz's own INN, also in unrelated software such as GNU tar and Transmission. GNU tar replaced wildmat with the POSIX fnmatch glob matcher in September 1992. The early version contained a potential out-of-bound access on unclosed [.

The original byte oriented wildmat implementation is unable to handle multibyte character sets, and poses problems when the text being searched may contain multiple incompatible character sets. A simplified version of wildmat oriented toward UTF-8 encoding has been developed by the IETF NNTP working group. It is a part of (section 4), the 2006 standard for NNTP.

In the newer INN which supports UTF-8, a "uwildmat" was added which supports all the features of wildmat. This 2000 rewrite, performed by Russ Allbery, fixes the OOB in the original implementation. Tightly-wound C loops were written out into smaller statements.

Rsync includes a GPLv3-licensed wildmat descendant known as wildmatch, modified by Wayne Davison. The Git version control system imports and makes use of it. It does not support UTF-8, but has the OOB fixed and has additional support for character classes and star globs (** for arbitrary-depth).

David Richards (motorsport)

David Pender Richards is the chairman of Prodrive and chairman of Motorsport UK. He is former chairman of Aston Martin and a former team principal of the BAR and Benetton Formula One teams.

Rally driving
Richards won the 1981 World Rally Championship as a co-driver to Ari Vatanen.

Prodrive circuit racing
In 1987 Prodrive entered into what was to become a long-standing partnership with BMW in the British Touring Car Championship. They took the Class B title three times, from 1988 to 1990, winning outright in 1988 with Frank Sytner.

Formula One
Richards became chief executive of Benetton Formula in, replacing Flavio Briatore. He left after just a year in his post and was replaced by Rocco Benetton for.

When the British American Racing (BAR) team was restructuring after the departure of Craig Pollock in 2001, the owners, British American Tobacco (BAT), brought in Prodrive to run the team with Richards as its Team Principal. Under his direction there was an immediate improvement in performance, ultimately leading to the team taking second place in the 2004 F1 Constructors' Championship. Richards also brought Jenson Button to the team and made him lead driver providing the majority of their championship points in 2004. This success led to BAT selling a 45% share of the team to Honda in late 2004. With Prodrive having completed its management contract with BAT, Richards stood down as Team Principal and Prodrive's then managing director Nick Fry assumed this role.

His Prodrive company entered a bid to enter a Formula One team for the 2008 season and on 28 April 2006, Prodrive were officially granted entry when the FIA announced the list of entrants to the 2008 Formula One World Championship. However, on 22 November 2007, he was forced to announce that Prodrive F1 would not be competing in the 2008 Formula One World Championship after a lack of clarity over the legality of 'customer cars' and the threat of possible legal action.

Aston Martin
On 12 March 2007, Richards led a consortium of investors including Investment Dar and Adeem Investment, raising $925 million to finance the purchase of Aston Martin from Ford. Richards subsequently became chairman of the car company. He stepped down from this role at the end of 2013.

Personal life
On 16 September 2007 Richards and his wife, Karen, survived a forced landing in their helicopter in Essex whilst returning from the 2007 Belgian Grand Prix, less than 24 hours after his former WRC driver, Colin McRae, perished in a similar accident along with his son and two others. Based on Prodrive's statement after the incident, Richards was piloting Prodrive's Eurocopter EC 135. Both Richards and his wife Karen walked away unharmed.

In the 2005 New Year Honours, Richards was appointed a CBE for his services to motorsport. In 2017, he was inducted into the Motor Sport Hall of Fame and received the Spirit of Le Mans award from the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO). In 2019 he received the Autocar Outstanding Leader Award. Cranfield School of Management awarded Richards an Honorary Doctor of Science degree in 2008.

Rich Beem

Richard Michael Beem (born August 24, 1970) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and is best known for his upset victory at the 2002 PGA Championship.

Career
Beem was born in Phoenix, Arizona, grew up in El Paso, Texas, and played college golf at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces.

Beem turned professional in 1994. His early career was broken up by a spell in Seattle selling car stereos and cell phones. He later regained interest after J. P. Hayes won the 1998 Buick Classic.

This changed in 1999 when Beem won the Kemper Open as a rookie. His career took a further leap forward in 2002 with a victory at The International in Castle Rock, Colorado.

Two weeks later, Beem won the 2002 PGA Championship at Hazeltine National, one of golf's four major tournaments. He shot a par 72 in the first round, but followed that with a six-under 66 in the second round to pull into a five-way tie for first place. In the third round, he again shot 72 and was the second place player, three strokes behind leader Justin Leonard. In the fourth round, Beem fended off Tiger Woods, who birdied his last four holes but finished one shot behind Beem, who shot a final round 68 to Woods' 67. This victory helped establish Beem in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Until this win, Beem was best known for the book Bud, Sweat and Tees: A Walk on the Wild Side of the PGA Tour by Alan Shipnuck, which profiled his rookie year on the PGA Tour and the often wild lifestyle of him and his caddie, Steve Duplantis.

At the 2007 Nissan Open at Riviera, Beem made a hole-in-one at the 14th hole on live television on Saturday to win a new red Altima coupe, which he immediately ascended, embraced, and sat atop of in triumph. The sequence was later made into a Nissan commercial. Beem credited Peter Jacobsen for inspiring his reaction; Jacobsen aced the same hole in 1994 and hopped into the nearby 300ZX convertible and pretended to drive it.

Beem was sidelined in 2010 after undergoing back surgery to repair damage to his C6 and C7 vertebrae. While Beem was expected to only miss six weeks, rehabilitation issues caused the layoff to encompass the remainder of the 2010 season. Beem played the 2011 season on a medical exemption that required him to make $658,100 in 17 events. He missed the first six cuts of the 2011 season before making the cut at the Valero Texas Open. He finished tied for 15th. Beem made just five cuts in 21 events. As a result, he lost his tour card and played the remainder of the season out of the "past champions" category in 2012. He played on the European Tour in 2012, the last year of his ten-year exemption on that tour for winning the 2002 PGA Championship.

In 2015, Beem joined Sky Sports as a television commentator and golf analyst. He also planned to play at the UBS Hong Kong Open, but gave up his sponsor exemption to allow Ian Poulter to keep his European Tour card. In 2020, Beem was a color commentator for the video game PGA Tour 2K21. Two years later, he returned in the same role for the PGA Tour 2K23.

Beem resides in Austin, Texas.

Talk:Greensleeves

Spin
This is amusing, but I'm putting it here. Is this spin really relevant?: Many original verses of "Greensleeves" are posted on the Web. Anyone find anything in them to tie to this interpretation? For more a propos avenues to follow try the new External link at the entry. Or a note on separate sleeves worn in the 16th century with a bodice... __Wetman 09:48, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Greensleeves is said by some to refer to the pleasures of alfresco sex and the stains on the sleeves of men who have enjoyed female company whilst thrutching on the grass. cf the female equivalent - Green Mantle. Green the colour of the harlot in medaeival England supposedly worn so as to hide the grass stains. Green also a 'faerie' colour in the likes of the ballad of Tam Lin more here; Thomas Rymer; and pagan Brighid of the Green Mantle.

What does greensleeves mean or refer to? is the above correct?? 71.77.207.50 06:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

"The name Greensleeves most likely refers to a prostitute or a lover, since in Renaissance England, green sleeves were worn by prostitute women as a sign of their status."

From this site http://yunyun09.wordpress.com/new-greensleeves-new/

The sleeves were removable for quick undressing, so I read. England used green to identify prostitutes, Nero required prostitutes to have blonde hair. In China they painted brothels blue. Russia it was yellow on their ID cards. Red was also a common symbol for prostitution, red-light district and lady in red.

My Lady Greensleeves" as depicted in an 1864 painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

If it is true is another thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.189.224.92 (talk) 22:17, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Alfredooscarfernandez 22:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)== Loreena McKennit version... ==

Akashic records show Sir Francis Bacon as composer of Greensleeves, the tune used as Colombe (vestal) march in temple ceremonies. Published at age 19. The writer of Shakespeares' plays, he has a reputation of being a shadow writer. If it was written by Henry VIII then why did it take almost 40 years after his death to appear?

I have a Loreena McKennit version of the song Greensleeves, and its lyrics are a bit different, with chorus as follows:

"Greensleeves was my delight, "Greensleeves my heart of gold "Greensleeves was my heart of joy "And who but my lady Greensleeves."

and she adds another part:

"Thy petticoat of sendle white "With gold embroidered gorgeously; "Thy petticoat of silk and white "And these I bought gladly. "

---

I recognise the first verse (with a small change to the third line "For I have loved you so long") and the chorus printed in the encyclopedia, but not the rest. I remember seeing a version of Greensleeves many years ago which contained the verse:

"Thy gown was wrought in grassy green, The sleeves of satin hanging by, Which made thee be a harvest Queen, And yet thou wouldst not love me'

I also remember a snippet of a verse containing the lines:-

"With pearls bedecked so sumptuously, The like no other lasses had, And yet thou wouldst not love me.'

Does anyone else know these ? --- There is a recopilation of Greensleeves verses by Lindianne Sarno that includes these. You can find them in the link http://music-garden.net/lecture.html Alfredooscarfernandez 22:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

MP3
Anyone know any mp3 links for this song?Dermo69

 * If you have an eMail address, I can send you a version by Lorena McKennitt or a live version by Neil Young, I think I also have the instrumental version sans lyrics by TSO. Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 22:48, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I have over 30 versions of Greensleeves (most of them are guitar or harp versions, sans lyrics) and supoose I could send any of them. It is my first contack with Wikipedia and don't know how to contact you. Perhaps, as the precedent user proposes, by an e-mail account.

more about GREENSLEEVES
Greensleeves was also, I think, the soundtrack of the half-hour TV serial film "Lassie", the famous collie dog, in the latest ' 50 and earliest ' 60. Thanks. A. Lahore

 * What do you mean by the soundtrack? Do you mean it was on the soundtrack, or that it was the theme song?  I don't know about a soundtrack, but it is not the theme song.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.1.193.190 (talk) 16:37, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Greensleeves: We need a definition for this term.
Surely someone has some *real* idea about what this word is referring too? In any case, this entry without such a definition would appear to be rather incomplete.

For instance (and I have no references for this at all), I have heard the theory that the song refers to a gentleman's poor country mistress who works on her farm feeding the cows, etc, hence her green sleeves (from the grass she gathers for the animals). Surely wrong, but why can't we know what is correct? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.147.151.165 (talk) 23:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC).

 * More experience with folklore might cure you of that certainty. I'm afraid that there are many, many, many things in folksongs that remain baffling.  Goldfritha 00:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

It is said that in England prostitutes were required to wear green. The sleeves were removable for easy undressing. Lady Greensleevs was probally a prostitute but some say she might have been a mistress or concubine.

In other countries prostitutes were also “labeled” with a color, In China the brothels were painted blue. In old Rome prostitutes were required to have bleached blond hair. Red-light district and lady in red is a symbol for prostitution in many countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.189.224.92 (talk) 22:25, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

The Fillmore and Neil Young
Why did Bill Graham decide to play Greensleeves after every concert at the Fillmore? And furthermore, why did Neil Young do the same, and what connection, if any, is known? 71.132.202.29 (talk) 04:33, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Henry VIII Legend
The legend that Henry VIII wrote this tune is frequently repeated but there's absolutely no evidence that it is true, and there's some evidence that the song is not old enough to have been written by Henry. We should not repeat the legend without noting this. Greg 20:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, but just saying it's unproven is a bit unsatisfactory: what evidence is there for an early date? And is there any evidence for the claim that he did write it? Or any idea where the legend originated?  I'm sure I recall hearing that Henry claimed to have written it.  Anyone happen to know if he really said that or if anyone really said that of him? Could be my imagination. garik 16:17, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The article currently states 'Henry did not write "Greensleeves," which is probably Elizabethan in origin and is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after his death.' - if the style of composition is later than King Henry VIII, that only shows that he did not compose the tune, it does not show that he did not write the song (lyrics are written, music is composed).
 * Pure semantics. There is existing evidence of many of Henry VIII's songs and compositions - and Greensleeves, whether as a poem or as music has never been included among them.  If what you're proposing is that he wrote the words, and 30 to 40 years later someone put them to music, a copy of his words would have been required for that to have happened.  No such evidence of any such poem exists or has ever been mentioned as having existed.  You're grasping at straws. David T Tokyo (talk) 16:53, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Distinguishing between composition and writing is not semantics. Moreover the statement 'based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after his death' is very misleading, considering Henry personally had extensive dealings with Italian ambassadors in court who were well known for bringing traveling musicians. I've added "likely did not compose", as flatly saying he did not is foolish considering neither side has any concrete or even particularly solid evidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xerokrist (talk • contribs) 01:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * The point you are completely missing is the phrase "until after his death". It's not a question of "traveling musicians" or Henry's  "extensive dealings" with Italian ambassadors - it's the simple fact that this style of music simply didn't exist in Henry's lifetime.  This particular quote, which you seem to find fault with, has not been scripted by a Wiki Editor, but is a direct quote - word for word - from an existing literary source.  If you would like to refute the source, please provide a reliable reference that clearly states that Henry "could" have written Greensleeves.  Without that, your edit is highly misleading and as a result I've reverted it.
 * So that we don't get into an edit war on this, I would ask that you provide the reference that supports the contention that Henry "could" have written Greensleeves here first so that we can make sure it is valid for inclusion. David T Tokyo (talk) 01:56, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

A literary source does not make your case for you. Both sides are entirely subjective, and even your own quote uses the word "Probably". I have provided a perfectly valid explanation as to how King Henry of all people, due to his well known musical skills as well as his dealings with various Italian musicians could have easily composed the song. Furthermore music is innovative, even without Italian influence Henry could have composed it originally. There is no "literary source" needed for you to use common sense, and if you continue in your arrogant way then God help yhour soul. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xerokrist (talk • contribs) 18:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * We have have an academic reference that emphatically states "nor did Henry write Greensleeves". As yet you haven't provided a single source to support what you see as "common sense". However, as you seem to think that the case for Henry writing Greensleeves is so obvious, you should have no problems at all in providing suitable references - I look forward to reading them. David T Tokyo (talk) 20:45, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * @Xerokrist: I agree with David. In the absence of a reliable source that Henry wrote it, we are bound here by verifiability policy to go with that, although we can certainly cite the popular misconception as somewhat apocryphal. To say he "could have" written it is speculation; I could have written many things, but haven't. Whereas "common sense" here sometimes trumps policy, in this case I don't think it does, when academic evidence is available to the contrary. If there is a difference of opinion amongst academics, place feel free to cite it. Until then, "could have" is inadequate for encyclopedic purposes. Rodhull  andemu  21:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

There is a Wiki page on Francis Cutting, where it confidently states that he was the composer, as does Frederic Noad in his Renaissance Guitar Anthology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.192.248 (talk) 08:14, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

 * First, Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Scond, while it is perfectly true that Francis Cutting composed a version (what is calle a "setting") of "Greensleeves", it is certain that he did not actually compose the tune, an anonymous version of which is found in William Ballet's lute book, a source which predates those containing Cutting's very distinctive version. This is already stated in the article, so unless there is some fresh evidence and a newly discovered, earlier source for Cutting's setting, there is no reason to suppose that he actually invented the melody.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 19:10, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I have removed the statement 'Henry did not compose Greensleeves'. Even if all the evidence suggests he did not, unless you have hard, indisputable evidence that he DEFINITELY did not, you cannot make that kind of statement. I have retained the source - it is both useful and perfectly acceptable to point out why this is described as a 'legend'. What is not acceptable is drawing your own conclusions and presenting them as fact. Smurfmeister (talk) 10:44, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I revived it, but reworded to emphasize that it's a scholarly belief/analysis rather than a directly known fact. Why did you unlink Elizabethan? The logic goes "not Henry VIII because in a style that came after he existed", so it seems important for readers to know what that style is to be able to understand the style difference and even know that this style was chronologically later. DMacks (talk) 14:06, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't unlink it, I just removed the spurious claim. Smurfmeister (talk) 14:09, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I see you fixed the unlinking:) DMacks (talk) 14:11, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I've reverted the text back to what it was. The argument that it can't be *proved for sure* that Henry didn't write Greensleeves it a spurious one - just as it can't be *proved for sure* that little green men didn't land on the planet a billion years ago with handbags full of DNA.  A case is built on all the evidence and in this instance all the evidence is that Henry did not and indeed could not have written Greensleeves.  The problem with the current text is that it by restricting it to "scholarly analysis / belief" it opens up the possibility that the scholars may be wrong and that Henry might actually have still written it.  That is fundamentally wrong - the scholars have no doubt that Henry did not write it, where they are less likely to agree is when exactly it was written, what its origins were etc.  David T Tokyo (talk) 07:05, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

 * The fundamental difference is that 'Greensleeves' undeniably exists and that there is a commonly repeated, if spurious, legend around its composition. Your 'little green men' example is not a suitable comparison - what you are talking about here is an entirely invented event. If 'Greensleeves' ITSELF was a legend you might have a point. To use your aliens analogy, a more suitable comparison would be with the Area 51 page. It is far less likely that there was an alien invasion covered up here, but nowhere on the page does it emphatically state 'this definitely did not happen'.

 * I revived it, but reworded to emphasize that it's a scholarly belief/analysis rather than a directly known fact. Why did you unlink Elizabethan?

 * I've reverted the text back to what it was. The argument that it can't be *proved for sure* that Henry didn't write Greensleeves it a spurious one - just as it can't be *proved for sure* that little green men didn't land on the planet a billion years ago with handbags full of DNA.  A case is built on all the evidence and in this instance all the evidence is that Henry did not and indeed could not have written Greensleeves.  The problem with the current text is that it by restricting it to "scholarly analysis / belief" it opens up the possibility that the scholars may be wrong and that Henry might actually have still written it.  That is fundamentally wrong - the scholars have no doubt that Henry did not write it, where they are less likely to agree is when exactly it was written, what its origins were etc.  David T Tokyo (talk) 07:05, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

 * The fundamental difference is that 'Greensleeves' undeniably exists and that there is a commonly repeated, if spurious, legend around its composition. Your 'little green men' example is not a suitable comparison - what you are talking about here is an entirely invented event. If 'Greensleeves' ITSELF was a legend you might have a point. To use your aliens analogy, a more suitable comparison would be with the Area 51 page. It is far less likely that there was an alien invasion covered up here, but nowhere on the page does it emphatically state 'this definitely did not happen'. Smurfmeister (talk) 17:42, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Just wanted to ask... who decided Green Sleeves was composed in a style that Henry VIII wouldn't have been accustomed to? I see the opinion of one Historian cited. Not sure that counts as incontrovertible fact which should be stated as bluntly as it has been. The only certainties are that the song, words & tune, "were written and have been attributed to Henry VIII, although this claim is disputed...".

Since neither case can be proved, if you're going to include a source for the opposition, then at least one source of support should also be included. It certainly shouldn't be cited as a "persistent belief", which reads in a very condescending and derogatory way. I shall make such ammendments within a week, unless there are valid reasons why I shouldn't.

I also think it worth noting in the Origins section, that those names resgistering versions of the ballad with the Stationers Company, are members of said company (a guild) who own printing presses and are paying a fee for a licence, which includes a monopoly, to print copies. It's the origin of the term Copyright, the right to make copies... There is no claim to authorship of the ballads; Richard Jones, Edward White, Henry Carr are noted Elizabethan printers/booksellers, the only exception being William Elderton who is a noted Elizabethan Actor & Ballad Writer. Even then, there are misattributions/misreadings of the source material, which I shall edit.

It's also worth noting that the various ballads were written to the 'original' tune, and that the tune itself may have been modified over time to suit contemporary tastes e.g. "A New Courtly Sonnet of the Lady Green Sleeves. To the new tune of Green Sleeves".

Again, I shall make some minor, supportable, changes here unless there are good reasons not to.Storris (talk) 16:11, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what you're on about here. Nobody "decided" - the development of styles of music over time is a matter of fact, not opinion.

 * ... And I would point out that the earliest record of a passamezzo antico in the UK dates from the 1550's and the earliest record for the eventual compositional style that led to Greensleeves was not until 1577.

 * I have not and will not claim that Henry wrote Greensleeves. Your continued refusal to read what has been written is impolite at best.Storris (talk) 10:37, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

 * I have pointed you in the direction of a second source that spells out in detail why Henry could not have written Greensleeves, yet you seem unwilling to engage with it.  And you want to label me as "impolite at best" for not having read what has been written.  For the record, I have read what you've written and I've already told you that I wasn't sure what you were on about.
 * You appear to have a bee in your bonnet about the language being used ("a persistent belief") which, again for reasons I can't fathom, you choose to find condescending and derogatory. You seem to have a problem with a Historian's language being "blunt". You have formed a classic Argument of Ignorance ("Since neither case can be proved, if you're going to include a source for the opposition, then at least one source of support should also be included.").  You have put forward an argument about a musical style ("I should also point out that the 'Italian Romanesca', being a form "developed... over time", came from Spain in the early 16th Century.") with no regard for the subsequent development of that style, either musically or geographically.  You appear to believe that going into the finer detail of the procedures within the Stationers Company somehow throws new light on the origins of Greensleeves and that "there are misattributions/misreadings of the source material" which have obviously passed Historians by but which you will edit.
 * In short, it seems to me that you want to open up the possibility of Greensleeves having been written by Henry VIII by muddying the waters.  However, that's just my instincts as to where this appears to be heading and I could be wrong.  Why don't you actually put foward what you want the article to say here first and let's see if there is consensus for it.  And please, don't forget to include references.

 * The 'bee in my bonnett' is due to people using sketchy records to make definitive statements. The earlymusicmuse articles you linked are a great read written from the perspective of a experienced lutist, but an inexperienced historian. He has made mistakes with his citations and as I said in my OP, I will make supportable, i.e. sourced & cited, edits where necessary. I have paid a lot of regard to the further development of the syle... I have seen where it may have entered English Society before the definitive dates that you claim (another definitive statement that sketchy records do not support)  and if you were to read further than that single article, you would see that too.

 * However, it seems I must once more assure you that I am not, have not and will not claim that Henry wrote Greensleeves. As I've already stated, sketchy records would not support such a statement.  I will also once more quote "A New Courtly Sonnet of the Lady Green Sleeves. To the new tune of Green Sleeves".  THe 1584 version of the Ballad, is not the 'Ric Jones' 3rd September 1580 version of the Ballad, nor is it the 'Edward White' 3rd Septmber version, or any of the other versions registered previously.  The ballad is NEW in 1584. So too, it is claimed, is the tune i.e. modified to suit contemporary tastes.

 * We have no record of the 1580 Ballad or the 1580 Tune, we cannot make any claim about the style in which they were written, or whether or not it is likely, possible, improbable, that they reflected the Earlier Henrician styles. Nor do we have any record of the Ballad or Tune on which those early Registered versions were based.

 * All in all, definitve statements on this subject, are unsupportable in almopst every regard, one way or the other.

I think we've reached that point now. There's no question that it's a page with two very distinct halves.

GIF-File with Notes used in the German article

Got the suggestion to insert this image - so the play-button and the notes can build a unit. But I not really want to make changes in the article. Might someone who knows more about Greensleeves and music do that. --80.128.197.114 (talk) 17:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Musicology
The article states that Greensleeves is in Dorian, and often incorrectly played as natural minor. While this point is understandable - it's easy to mistakenly use a minor sixth in place of the major sixth, and that would be the mistake suggested here, the major seventh in the piece is VERY apparent and establishes the melody as melodic minor (raised sixth and seventh ascendant as compared to natural minor) rather than Dorian (raised sixth and minor seventh). I'm frankly too lazy to find a source for a simple exercise of very basic theory, but I thought I'd get the ball rolling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.31.146.146 (talk) 03:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

In the version of Greensleeves I learned at school 60 years ago, the raised seventh (F sharp in the notated example) only occurred at the cadences in the 7th and 15th bars. In the 3rd, 4th, 11th and 12th bars the minor seventh was used (F natural). I would therefore question the notated version and definitely regard the tune as Dorian. At the cadences the F becomes sharpened under the normal rules of musica ficta that operated in the 16th century, and this would not change its modal character.

Indeed, even if the notated version is correct, the tune would still be more Dorian than anything else. By this time the modes were breaking down, and the irregular sharpening of the 7th was one of the ways in which they were doing so. Pitting flattened against sharpened sevenths was something English composers were particularly fond of. The piece would therefore be Dorian with an occasionally sharpened 7th.

In any case, Greensleeves cannot be using the normal melodic minor. The melodic minor has raised 6th and 7th ascending, lowered 7th and 6th descending, so if the tune were using the melodic minor the 6th would only be raised if it were proceeding upwards to the 7th. In fact the 6th is raised throughout the whole tune, even when it is descending - indeed, apart from just before the cadences, the 6th descends to the 5th every time it is used, including very prominently in the 9th and 13th bars. The fact that the tune still uses the raised 6th in these cases means it cannot be using the normal melodic minor.

I would therefore say that, with regard to the mode, the article is correct in all respects. I would also query the source of the notated version. Brumel (talk) 16:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hm. How very confusing. The article has apparently been modified 06:38, 7 July 2008 (68.29.221.171) to say "Greensleeves is in melodic minor, though modern musicians sometimes incorrectly play it in the natural minor scale instead" instead of stating Dorian mode was correct and natural minor incorrect. I'm sorry I don't understand all of the conversation above - muscial terminology in a foreign language and all that - but were there actually grounds for this modification, then? Shadowcrow (talk) 20:21, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I would agree with Brumel and the earlier version that states the melody is in the Dorian mode. I find the notated version perhaps not completely trustworthy. I'm going to edit "melodic minor" back to "Dorian mode" for the time being. Can anyone find sources to clarify which version of the melody is the original? Shadowcrow (talk) 19:58, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

As well as agreeing that all the sixths should be major (as in the GIF above), and that the major sevenths (F sharps) in bars 3,4,11 and 12 should be minor sevenths (F naturals), I'd also like to point out that even if they were left as major sevenths the piece still has minor sevenths descending to major sixths in bars 9 and 13. Although the feel of those bars (don't know the technical term) is Ionian one step lower (F major), as the piece is in G I don't see how it can be interpreted as anything other than predominantly Dorian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.122.152 (talk) 16:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it is a question of which melody is correct and incorrect, as there are multiple versions of the melody. Melodic minor would work fine, though the example given is not in melodic minor. The real question is how was the original melody written, which since the song is so old, probably can't be answered. It would be helpful to the article to show a few differing versions of the melody from reliable publications. I would argue that the melody given is not likely, due to the relatively quick change from F natural to F# in the chorus. The Benjamin Britten arrangement is the same, except it does not go to F# in the chorus until the cadence. I have also heard the melody in harmonic minor, with a minor 6th and major 7th. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.1.193.167 (talk) 15:20, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

 * After attempting to play the melody and several variations in one mode, it is clear that the melody won't work unless it has both a major and minor 7th. It has to be in either melodic minor or mixed mode(Aolian/Ionian). Operating in mixed mode still allows several variations on the melody however, so it would be nice if we could include some of the first publications of the tune in the article as examples. I'm not very happy with the example given. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.1.193.190 (talk) 17:55, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Musicology
"Greensleeves is in melodic minor, though modern musicians sometimes incorrectly play it in the natural minor scale instead"

Both links got to the same page (via redirects), so this statement essentially means nothing to the reader (like me) who wants to know what the difference is. I would recommend striking the section and line, unless the links at least go to separate sections of minor scale, or, even better, explain what they are saying here in the article.

The version I know breaks out of the simple whole letter minor scale anyway, in the last "line" of the melody (It uses a C# and a D#). Perhaps it would be better to simply transcribe the melody here, since it's, er, out of copyright by now? Huw Powell (talk) 06:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Isn't it supposed to be in dorian mode (C# and Dnat), not in minor? -- megA (talk) 21:36, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Musicology
Isn't it misleading to simply say that '"Greensleeves" is in Dorian mode' when there is the whole issue of those natural 7's? Isn't that worth mentioning even though musicologists understand it's within the bounds of musica ficta of that time period and doesn't contradict Dorian? There has got to be a simple way to state this without getting overly complex, such as "The melody was originally entirely Dorian mode, sometimes with natural 7ths in some portions. Some modern versions use the natural minor scale predominantly with some natural 6ths and natural 7ths in parallel portions." That would seem to clarify, highlighting those "points of contention" while avoiding the "melodic minor" confusion. Perhaps some musical scores could be presented and bar numbers could be specified.

Interestingly enough, the Dorian audio example never departs to the natural 7 at all, and the natural minor example departs to the natural 6 and 7. Btonal (talk) 00:58, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Btonal

 * it would be good if someone could find some old manuscripts or printings of the song, as the picture showing the melody does not have any publication info from what I can tell, or even a source.

I don't know anything about the history of "Greensleeves" but it is the standard song that ice cream vans use in england and australia. i'm pretty sure they have been using it since i was a child although im only 28. I think this explains the idea that it is a holiday song since the ice cream truck music is so repeatedly heard during the summer vacation period and ice creams are associated with holidays and are a treasured part of summer, at least for children.

It is a whole-tone interval from the 4th to 5th note
From the 4th to 5th note, it is a rise of a whole-tone interval rather than a semitone interval, as the sheet music--which is correct--indicates, but the first sound file plays the 5th note half-tone lower. It seems now the wrong version is more popular than the correct one which sounds different and better. But still, there are correct versions at Youtube, and the following is an example, even though it is played at a different key. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn4hAdSGYEY --Roland (talk) 04:13, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Obscurity 'R' Us?
The lede to this article is ridiculously complex, to the point of being obfuscatory. This might pass in a musicological text, but hardly in an excyclopedia article for general consumption. I suggest reducing the opening sentence to:

"Greensleeves is a traditional English folk song and tune, probably written sometime in the 16th century."

I would further delete everything in the opening paragraph down to the final sentence:

"The tune is found in several late-16th-century and early-17th-century sources, such as Ballet's MS Lute Book and Het Luitboek van Thysius, as well as various manuscripts preserved in the Seeley Historical Library in the University of Cambridge."

... and move all the business about "romanesca", "passamezzo antico", and   "the Andalusian progression" down to a lower section in the article, perhaps entitled Form or History. 67.206.187.92 (talk) 06:06, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion! I've reduced the opening paragraph quite a lot and moved the content into the body of the article, where we can go into more detail. I have still left the ground terms and a clause on the "Greensleeves" name in the lead. — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 09:29, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Lyrics
This article and most talk page comments refer to lyrics, perhaps many versions. Not a single version given in the article. It's written like everyone reading the article already knows words to this song. Personally, I didn't when I started reading, and still don't. Good job wikipedia. 2600:8807:5480:713:C018:59E9:EF6E:715E (talk) 18:41, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Edward White's third version, or at least four lines of it, is given in the article. I notice that the reference to the 19th-century Christmas Carol, "What Child Is This?" links to an article on those particular lyrics which does not, however, disclose them. Under "External links" you will find a link to one example, which runs to 19 stanzas. The real problem, it seems to me, is that the melody pre-dates the words of any of the various broadsheet ballads from the late-16th century. As with so many other examples of the genre, there is no reason to choose any one of them as definitive, and even a representative sampling would take up quite a lot of space. Still, it is worth considering including at least a stanza or two from one or another of these, especially since the earlier texts are long out of copyright. Thanks for the suggestion, but can we do without the sarcasm next time?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 20:17, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

BBC ban?
Hi, just found this, or the version by The Beverley Sisters, on the list of songs banned by the BBC. Fun, but improbable, if it was for reasons of Tudor morality. Is the reason known? T 84.208.65.62 (talk) 23:51, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Henry VIII (again)
I am moving this paragraph here, so that we can sort this out and be done with it. First of all, I see no reason this needs to be in the lede. It should be rewritten, preferably with a direct quote from Weir's book, which is referenced.

 * A widely-believed (but unproven) legend is that it was composed by Henry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn. Anne rejected Henry's attempts to seduce her. This rejection is apparently referred to in the song, when the writer's love "cast me off discourteously." However, it is unlikely that he is the author, as the song is written in a style which was not known in England until after Henry VIII died.

After rewriting, it should be placed somewhere in the main body of the article. --- RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  14:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I suggest this.

 * There is a persistent myth that Greensleeves was composed by Henry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn. Anne rejected Henry's attempts to seduce her and this rejection is apparently referred to in the song, when the writer's love "cast me off discourteously." However, Henry VIII could not have written Greensleeves as the song is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after he died.

 * The actual quote from Alison Weir's book is "Nor did Henry write "Greensleeves," which is probably Elizabethan in origin and is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after Henry died." David T Tokyo (talk) 18:32, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I suggest using the direct quote from Weir just to avoid any mistake. Why paraphrase if we do not have to?  Again, though, I do not think it belongs in the lede. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  20:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Not to put too fine a point on it, but is there another source besides, Weir, who makes this claim? It is customary for important facts to have two references to stand as fact. I'm not doubting mind you, I just think it needs to be backed up by another source. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 21:04, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Just to clarify something: When Alison Weir says that Greensleeves is "probably Elizabethan" in origin, she is not opening up the possibility that it could have been written in Henry VIII's time. The Romamesca form (on which Greensleeves is based) is a style of music that lasted from 1550-1650. It other words, it's earliest date is 3 years after Henry's death. So although Greensleeves is "probably" Elizabethan, there is an outside chance it could have been written in the reign of Edward VI (1547-1553) or Mary (1553-1558) - but not in Henry's reign.David T Tokyo (talk) 18:49, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

,, , , Since Weir cites Starkey   (though the relevant chapter is by Peter Holman) citing Weir doesn't make much sense.

Since Holman says "it is based on an Italian chord progression that became known in England only after his death" whereas the whole p. 154 reference is "But his abilities as a composer have been over-rated: he did not compose ‘Greensleeves’" I've changed the citation so that it's now to p. 104 instead of 154.

There's more detail in the following by Holman: "... ‘Greensleeves’ ( DF, i. 6) is not an original melody but is merely a descant of the Romanesca ground. The original duple-time tune was used for the ballad of ‘Lady Greensleeves’, first published in 1580 (hence the title); the familiar compound-time version seems to have been developed in the middle of the seventeenth century as a country dance tune. Incidentally, the Romanesca did not appear in England until the mid sixteenth century, which makes it unlikely that ‘Greensleeves’ was written by Henry VIII (1491-1547), as is often claimed". Perhaps some of that could be included in the Form section in addition to Origin. Mcljlm (talk) 05:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Henry VIII yet again
and. There are multiple section above this discussing the Henry VIII authorship claims and they seem to come to the conclusion that sources state Henry VIII didn't write Greensleves. If you read the three sources next to the disputed sentence you can see the following: "...though his achievements in that direction have been exaggerated: he did not write 'Greensleeves', ..."

- Music at the Court of Henry VIII

"Let’s clear one thing up first of all: Henry VIII did not compose ‘Greensleeves’. Italian in form with an Elizabethan text, this is one piece that must be struck from the list of works by this most musical of monarchs."

- The musical life of King Henry VIII

"...nothing to link it to either Henry or Anne, nor to anyone else. Henry VIII died in 1547. Greensleeves first appeared in 1580."

- Greensleeves myth 1: Henry VIII wrote it for Anne Boleyn

It seems clear, based on sources, that he didn't write Greensleeves and the article should say that. In fact the first two of the sources next to the disputed sentence don't confirm that "It is a common romantic legend that Henry wrote the song for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn." CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 10:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Thank you for this. Given your last sentence, maybe the most appropriate line would be "Henry VIII did not write Greensleeves.[4][5] [6] The piece is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after Henry's death". — Preceding unsigned comment added by David T Tokyo (talk • contribs) 12:39, 2024 July 4 (UTC)

 * You could, but it's not incorrect to say that it's a common legend (myth or claim might be better as both are in the third source) but I don't see anything indicating it's "romantic" as that's not sourced either. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 13:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Thanks again. I'll leave this for a few days for to comment and if nothing is forthcoming, I'll change it, incorporating the "common myth" aspect.David T Tokyo (talk) 16:03, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * No issue with the removal of the "romantic" comment; I retained that from a previous version, but if no one sees any value in it, I don't think it's vital. The issue is the line "Henry VIII did not write Greensleeves". We don't need to make a claim that can never be corroborated. Stating that it's a common myth and is more likely to be Elizabethan in origin covers everything we need. SpamFritterBitter (talk) 09:08, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Did you read the three sources provided? They confirm that he didn't write it. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 14:52, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * They really didn't. SpamFritterBitter (talk) 08:57, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * How did they not. "he did not write 'Greensleeves" seems quite clear. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Where's the proof? I could say Henry VIII actually didn't have six wives but was a raging homosexual - it wouldn't make it true. SpamFritterBitter (talk) 09:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The proof, covered by the first two references as the start of this section, is that Greensleeves is based on a style of music that didn't appear until after his death. For that reason alone, it is impossible for him to have written it.David T Tokyo (talk) 10:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * That's because you are not a reliable source. We go with what they say and not what an individual editor thinks. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 18:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Reliability aside, they are still only presenting a theory here. That's all they can do. Is that theory more likely to be correct than one made up by Sid down the pub or Doris from the launderette? Of course. But you must be able to see the fallacy in "A historian said it, therefore it's true". SpamFritterBitter (talk) 07:59, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The origin and subsequent movement of the Romanesca and Passamezzo Antico is not theoretical. It is there in the copyright records of the time. The fact that you don't believe historians while feeling the need to remind us that nevertheless you rate them above Doris from the launderette (they must be relieved) is completely irrelevant.  You are not an informed source - they are.David T Tokyo (talk) 16:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I never claimed I was. I just object to unverifiable blanket statements when there are verifiable statements you could use to make the same point. For example, one of the sources confirms there is no recorded reference to Greensleeves until 1580. SpamFritterBitter (talk) 13:20, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * What "unverifiable blanket statement"?  You've been told - repeatedly - that it is impossible for Henry VIII to have written Greensleeves because that style of music did not exist when we was alive.  That's not conjecture, or theory - it's there in the copyright records of the time.  So, I ask again what  "unverifiable blanket statement".  Please come back with something relevant, meaningful and supported by evidence. Your opinion doesn't count.  David T Tokyo (talk) 17:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * For Christ's sake, just read what I wrote! SpamFritterBitter (talk) 11:19, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Leon Schuster

Leon Ernest "Schucks" Schuster (born 21 May 1951) is a South African filmmaker, comedian, actor, prankster and singer.

Early life
Schuster was drawn to the filmmaking process at an early age. As a child he and his brother would play practical jokes on his family and film it. He explained, in a 2010 interview about his early life in Bloemfontein, "I remember running down the aisle of the Ritz Theatre, playing cowboys & crooks, which was all the rage at the time. I also remember loving Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin and the Three Stooges. I was always acting things out, and pulling pranks. I used to fool my grandma into thinking I’d shot myself in the foot with my pellet gun… tomato sauce everywhere, me squealing like a wild pig. Pranking is just in my nature, but I’d never thought I’d become a movie star… no, I’m not a movie star, I’m just a local outjie that likes to entertain people."

Schuster studied for a BA degree at the University of the Orange Free State, where he played rugby for the first team. He returned to Jim Fouché as a teacher for two years.

Career
Schuster began working for the South African Broadcasting Corporation. During his time at the SABC, he created the Afrikaans radio series Vrypostige Mikrofoon with Fanus Rautenbach – which involved disguising his voice and playing phone pranks on unsuspecting victims.

Music
In 1982, Schuster was approached by Decibel Records to compile a series of sports songs which resulted in his first record entitled, Leon Schuster, having sold 10,000 units. His second album, Broekskeur ('trouser-tearing' literal translation, broekskeur means that things are difficult - you are having a difficult time), sold in excess of 40,000 units. This was then followed by Briekdans and Leon Schuster – 20 Treffers, which sold more than 270,000 copies.

His hit CD Hier Kom Die Bokke ('Here Come The Boks') garnered an FNB Sama Music Award for Biggest Selling CD of 1995. His following CD, Gatvol in Paradise, sold in more than 125,000 units and gave rise to the unofficial Gauteng anthem "Gautengeleng".

Film
Schuster's first feature, You Must Be Joking!, produced in collaboration with Johan Scholtz and Elmo de Witt, became popular with South African audiences and gave rise to the sequel You Must be Joking! Too.

These films were candid camera sketches and Schuster made many more of these films as well as slap-stick films, including Mr Bones, his most successful film, which earned more than R33 million at the South African box office.

On 16 September 2011 it was reported that Schuster's next movie, Mad Buddies, would be partly financed by the Walt Disney Company, which would also handle the distribution and marketing of the film. The film was released in 2012 and starred Schuster opposite funnyman Kenneth Nkosi. It received poor reviews, and garnered R4.5 million in the opening weekend from a budget of R20 million.

Comedic style
According to Schuster, his appeal to the public stems from him making "them used to a certain style of comedy that they seem to like. They like trouble, and they know when Schuster is there, there is trouble. They also like me to rip off the topical stuff be risky and take chances.....and get 'moered!".

In 2018, the comedian was "unapologetic about playing on every racial stereotype in his films", but openly admitted that he "does have some regrets about having profited from blackface". He further stated: "I'm so sorry that I can't make Mama Jack 2. If I had a dream come true, my next movie would be Mama Jack 2. But especially on Twitter they said stay away from the blackface, it's not on. It was black people talking to me and you've got to listen. I can't do it because I'll be heavily criticised. In the olden days it troubled nobody. But I won't go blackface now, I can't do it. There's not one actor in the world that will. It's just racist".

Showmax film removals
On 19 June 2020, South African streaming service Showmax removed over six of Schuster's films, citing his content as being "racially insensitive", considering he has used blackface in many of his films for "comedic effect". This came during the heightened Black Lives Matter protests. Schuster reacted, saying he was "shocked" and "can't believe that the content of his films does any harm". He said his work is "innocent" and just him "pranking people".

Turkix

Turkix was a live Linux distribution, capable of self-installing on hard disk using a graphical wizard. The main goal of Turkix was to provide a very user-friendly Linux environment. Turkix was based on the Mandriva distribution. In visual style Turkix was similar to Windows XP.

First two releases of Turkix (1.0 and 1.9) were in Turkish and Azerbaijani only, but later releases had more language support, especially English.

Latest stable release of Turkix was 3.0, and the last unstable release was 10.0 Alpha. At this point the project was aborted.

I have added some informations about NHØP's name. It might be good if someone would change my clumsy sentences into better English.--Troels Nybo 09:58, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I have shortened it drastically. Actually, I removed it almost entirely and put the popular tetragrammaton right after his name. The rest really didn't contain much information that wasn't already in the title. On the other hand, if we can find support for the fact that "The Dane with the never ending name" is really a title under which he was known (to others than his booking agency and therefore to google) then we could put that in instead. Arbor 12:47, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

NHØP was certainly known as The Great Dane, not so sure about the 'never-ending name' bit. He was also commonly known by the sobriquet 'The Viking', both by his fans and his jazz friends. Included here as a point of interest; probably doesn't warrant inclusion in the article. Xyster 14:47, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

He played with Tim Buckley while he was in Denmark. Can you add that to the article?

Slavica Ecclestone

Slavica Ecclestone (' Radić'''; born 2 June 1958) is a Croatian former model and the ex-wife of former Formula 1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone.

Early life
Ecclestone was born in Rijeka, where her Serb parents—Jovan "Jovo" Radić and Ljubica Malić from Maglajani and Riječani, respectively, both villages within the Laktaši municipality, PR Bosnia and Herzegovina—had settled shortly before her birth in search of expanded job opportunities. The family soon moved back to northern Bosnia to her father's village, meaning Slavica would spend the majority of her childhood in Maglajani. After her parents divorced when she was seven years old, being raised by her mother Ljubica, Slavica was taught to "not do to someone else what you wouldn't want to be done to yourself."

Career
In her early career, Slavica worked as a fashion model, modelling for a number of clients, including the designer Armani. While working on a Formula One promotional event for Armani at the 1982 Italian Grand Prix in Monza, the twenty-four-year-old model met fifty-two-year-old Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone.

Bernie pursued Slavica despite the 28-year age difference, the language barrier (she spoke Serbo-Croatian and Italian, he spoke only English), and their difference in height. At 6 ft, Slavica was nearly a foot taller than her suitor, Ecclestone being 5 ft tall.

Personal life
From her marriage, Slavica has two daughters, Tamara (born 1984) and Petra (born 1988).

In November 2008, Slavica filed for divorce after 23 years of marriage. The divorce was granted on 11 March 2009. She ranked 194 in The Sunday Times ' Rich List after she was awarded an estimated £740 million from her divorce.

In December 2019, she put her Chelsea mansion up for sale for more than £100m after daughter Tamara's home in Kensington Palace Gardens was raided and jewels worth £50m were stolen.
