Science and technology
Ever since the scientific revolution, the United Kingdom has been prominent in world scientific and technological development. The philosopher Francis Bacon put forward his Baconian method in his 1620 book, Novum Organum. This method promoted empiricism and induction in scientific enquiry and was one of the driving forces behind the Scientific Revolution.

Possibly the most famous of all British scientists, Isaac Newton, is considered by historians of science to have crowned and ended the scientific revolution with the 1687 publication of his Principia Mathematica, which ushers in what is recognisable as modern physics. He is most famous for realising that the same force is responsible for movements of celestial and terrestrial bodies, and discovering gravity. It is commonly reported that he made this realisation when he was sitting underneath an apple tree and was hit on the head by a falling apple; this story is, however, apocryphal. He is also famous as the father of classical mechanics, formulated as his three laws and as the co-inventor (with Gottfried Leibniz) of differential calculus. Less famously, he also created the binomial theorem, worked extensively on optics, and created a a law of cooling.

Since Newton's time, figures from the UK have contributed to the development of most major branches of science. Examples include James Clerk Maxwell, who unified the electric and magnetic forces in what are now known as Maxwell's equations; James Joule, who worked extensively in thermodynamics and is often credited with the discovery of the principle of conservation of energy; Paul Dirac, one of the pioneers of quantum mechanics; Charles Darwin, author of On the Origin of Species and discoverer of the principle of evolution by natural selection; and Harold Kroto, the discoverer of buckminsterfullerene.

Historically, many of the UK's greatest scientists have been based at either Oxford or Cambridge University, with laboratories such as the Clarendon Laboratory (Oxford) and Cavendish Laboratory (Cambridge) becoming famous in their own right. In modern times, other institutions such as the Red Brick and New Universities are catching up with Oxbridge. For instance, Lancaster University has a global reputation for work in low temperature physics. The Royal Society serves as the national academy for sciences, with members drawn from many different institutions and disciplines. Formed in 1660, it is the oldest learned society still in existence.

Technologically, the UK is also amongst the world's leaders. Historically, it was at the forefront of the industrial revolution, with innovations especially in textiles, the steam engine, railroads and civil engineering. Famous British engineers and inventors from this period include James Watt, Robert Stephenson, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Richard Arkwright.

Since then, the United Kingdom has continued this tradition of technical creativity. Frank Whittle (inventor of the jet engine), Charles Babbage (who devised the idea of the computer) and Alexander Fleming (discoverer of penicillin) were all British. The UK remains one of the leading providers of technological innovations today, providing inventions as diverse as the World Wide Web and Viagra (created by Tim Berners-Lee and Pfizer respectively.

Other famous scientists, engineers and inventors from the UK include: Michael Faraday, Robert Baden-Powell, John Logie Baird, William Caxton, Richard Trevithick, Humphry Davy, Robert Watson-Watt, Henry Bessemer and others.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/IZAK

Notice
 '''I have moved this dispute to the list of disputes not yet certified. When this began I informed the original complainant User:HistoryBuffEr that he did not have standing to certify the action unless he made some attempt to come to terms with User:IZAK, and I even suggested approaches, but he indicated he could not, or would not, deal with him, So he is not in a position to certify and User:Ed Poor has not given evidence of his own attempts to reach IZAK. The only users in a position to certify right now are User:pir, User:JFW and User:Jayjg. The 48-hour clock has started again. If complainants really want to put this forward, surely you can find two people who have engaged IZAK, been rebuffed, and are willing to certify. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 18:23, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Discussion
How interesting, Cecropia. Also, how de we explain your sudden interest in strictly enforcing rules in light of your arguments on two VfDs ("Occupation of Palestine" and "Violence against Israelis") that rules should not be strictly enforced? HistoryBuffEr 18:56, 2004 Oct 14 (UTC)
 * Uncle_Ed had in fact warned IZAK in Talk before this RfC.
 * Many users below have mentioned confronting IZAK before.
 * IZAK has repeated his smears and added new ones ("Nazi") to this RfC. The RfC itself constitutes a warning, which was supported by most, and which IZAK ignored.

 * There is not an issue of non-enforcement of rules where a user is interpreting rules and practice to his own POV. I have not taken a position on IZAK's RfC, and I'm not taking one now. I noticed that this was still going on when it showed up on my watchlist and I saw that you had still refused to take my accurate advice on how to mount an RfC. Do not remove the notice I have placed. Those interested need to know that this will fail in 48 hours with two valid certifications. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 19:29, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Cecropia, I have already asked you to apologize for the false claim that I removed something from here and now you are repeating that false accusation. HistoryBuffEr 19:50, 2004 Oct 14 (UTC)
 * I had difficulty figuring out from the history who removed it, and I couldn't respond to your comment until now because, believe it or not, I am not on the Internet 24/7 (more like 22/7). I see that Netoholic most recently removed it, and I've cautioned him. If I wrongly accused, I apologize. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 22:18, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * You couldn't respond but you found time to repeat your accusation after I asked you for apology? The lame politician-style apology starting with "If I was wrong" is not accepted. You know you were wrong so try again without ifs and buts. HistoryBuffEr 23:00, 2004 Oct 14 (UTC)
 * I may have misidentified the original remover of the notice. I say "may have" not because I deny it, but because I have not gone back to sort it out, since it is not a matter of importance considering your attacks on me for which I don't bother to solicit apologies. I'm not in the mood to kiss your ring for my supposed transgessions, or any other part of you, for that matter. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 23:08, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for another non-apology, I was hoping for more than another round of bickering. Now that you are in the RfC Rules Police mood, could you also check RfC/Alberuni, many certs there don't seem to qualify. HistoryBuffEr 23:27, 2004 Oct 14 (UTC)

I made a couple of attempts to "reach" IZAK, but being in a mild-mannered Clark Kent mood, I have not bothered to make any determined attempt. I only "certified" that Buff had a good point and then suggested quietly that IZAK avoid personal remarks.

After that, Buff started becoming remarkably cooperative on the talk pages of the Arab-Israeli conflict series -- especially articles dealing with Palestine, its history and plans for future disposition. I thought that was good enough. --Uncle Ed (El Dunce) 19:54, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * However, that mild-mannered behaviour did not last long, as there has been a return to the ad hominems and attacks, and specific statements that he cannot work with the editors there. Jayjg 20:05, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Who? Buff or IZAK? --Uncle Ed (El Dunce) 20:40, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Buff; review his most recent edits on that Talk: page. Jayjg 21:30, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Buffer launches new ad hominem attacks on "Holocaust denial examined"
Pathetically, HistyoryBuffer is now antagonizing more people at Holocaust denial examined, see the "history" of that page and the "revert wars" and other stuff at Talk:Holocaust denial examined:

"This article contains an unsubstantiated assertion about the use of term "Zionist" by Holocaust deniers. The Zionist extremist and Palestine denier Jayjg keeps reverting any attempt to correct the false implication that anyone using the term "Zionist" is/could be a Holocaust denier, without supplying any evidence for the assertion. HistoryBuffEr 07:48, 2004 Oct 14 (UTC)
 * Outside of Israel itself (where "Zionism" is apparently a genuine political movement on the order of "libertarianism"), the term "Zionist" is used most frequently in anti-Semitic statements by people who want to insult their opponents, engage in anti-Israel rhetoric, spout conspiracy theorists about "the Jews" and their supposed secret plan to rule the world, or outright paranoid hate by white supremacists and other losers -- especially Holocaust deniers. Hence the note in this article that Holocaust deniers frequently use the term "Zionist" to describe their opponents, or anyone they don't like.
 * I also see by your Wikipedia contribution that you've added "Totally Disputed" headers to several other articles having to do with the Israel-Palestine conflict. This suggests that you are less interested in adding NPOV to this article (or the others) than declaring everyone else on Wikipedia to be wrong because they don't agree with you.  Please go over this on your Talk page, so that we can come to a resolution. --Modemac 09:25, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * You are just repeating your article assertion without supplying any references. Merely repeating something does not make it more true. The complete lack of substantiation for your tendentious generalization is my only contention here, so provide some evidence or remove the statement. HistoryBuffEr 17:45, 2004 Oct 14 (UTC)
 * HistoryBuffEr, you are clearly makin anti-Semitic and ad homenim attacks towards Jay, and you are pushing a Nazi agenda. Your edits will be reverted. RK 17:58, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)

To Modemac and RK: Removing the Disputed notice, and Protecting the page you are involved in are clear violations of Wikipedia policy. By denying even that a dispute over this articles exists, Modemac and RK have reached a new level, level way beyond Holocaust deniers. Thanks for so obviously undermining yourself and your propaganda cause. HistoryBuffEr 20:14, 2004 Oct 14 (UTC)
 * Please see the Requests for comment/Alberuni page for a look at the current dispute, of which this article is but a drop in the bucket. --Modemac 21:13, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)"

User:GeneralPatton suggests that HistoryBuffer be taken to Arbitration
From User:IZAK: See Requests for comment/IZAK

''':Izak, from my own experience, I suggest you now take HistoryBuffEr straight to Arbitration, and demand he be banned from all articles concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You have a great and compelling body of evidence against him. GeneralPatton 19:36, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)'''

Attempt to find out whether HistoryBuffer is anti-Semitic or not
(from User talk:HistoryBuffEr/Archived-Sermons)

Historybuff... I'm just curious. What do you think of Jewish people in general? Rickyrab 19:20, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I think nothing of any people in general. P.S: In light of your apparent bias (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/IZAK&curid=1041236&diff=0&oldid=0), this is my last reply to you on this topic. HistoryBuffEr 19:31, 2004 Oct 15 (UTC)

Against Tags on People. Tags are nothing, People are Everything !
Dear All, Please refrain from putting tags on people and remain logical, civilized and without passions taking over. Bile and jugulars have no precedence over the white and gray matter :O). Tags are neither nice, nor arguments. Instead of using so much time, energy and bandwidth to wait for people and stick it on their forhead, why don't you rest, smell flowers, walk in public gardens and admire automn in this beautiful northern hemisphere :O) As an experienced editor, medical doctor, victim of Securitate, libelled/arbitrated/rfc/banned/tagged/smeared colleague, please stop ! - irismeister 23:22, 2004 Oct 16 (UTC)

 * Irismeister: You know, you do have a valid point. Your concern is appreciated - I really mean it. IZAK 08:13, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Thank you dearly :O) - I know you know I know. We all are a knowledgeable family. :O) - irismeister 23:28, 2004 Oct 19 (UTC)

My role in all this
I'm not sure why people keep asking me to take sides. All I want is peace.

 * Ed Poor, being a Conservative, appeases some of the reactionaries, is usually present where they are, appears to bring a balanced approach, raps a few knuckles, and effectively allows the trash to continue heaping.

I'd also like to see some accuracy, especially because I know very little history of the Middle East.

If you guys all want me to, I could see that this matter got brought before the arbitration committee, but I'd rather not do that. Jimbo asked me to be a Mediator - not a sheriff.

Now if you all want me to settle this my way, I have an idea. Hint: it's inspired by in incident in The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, a science fiction novel about a revolution among anarchic inmates of a lunar penal colony -- or is that anarchic lunatics? --Uncle Ed (El Dunce) 19:31, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Seems basically resolved between Sam Spade and IZAK
Ed, thanks for the input, allow me to bring you up to speed: A while ago User:Sam Spade contacted me at my talk page, please see User talk:IZAK We conducted a lengthy correspondence. Sam conveyed his concerns and I described and explained where I was coming from, please see User talk:IZAK After some discussion I basically told Sam that "... I am sorry for any discomfort and hurt you may have experienced and I hope that we can continue a positive dialogue in the future. Thanks again for your sincere words and patience. IZAK 00:52, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)" and Sam accepted and said "OK, I can accept that, but please do not to use slurs like "anti-semite" "bigot" or "nazi" on the wikipedia in the future.... Sam Spade 13:28, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)." Since then all has been quiet. As for dealing with User:HistoryBuffer I have not really had much to do with him this past month. He nevertheless does continue to use such epithets as "Zionistas" and similar sounding insults towards the editors involved with Israel-related articles. I was in fact contacted by User:GeneralPatton, see User talk:IZAK, to commence a RfC of my own against HistoryBuffer ("Izak, from my own experience, I suggest you now take HistoryBuffEr straight to Arbitration, and demand he be banned from all articles concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You have a great and compelling body of evidence against him. GeneralPatton 19:36, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)") User:GeneralPatton in fact has warned HistoryBuffer directly that "HistoryBuffEr, its about time you start playing nice with everyone else or pay the consequences (arbitration). GeneralPatton 02:43, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)," see this at Talk:Holocaust denial examined, but I have delayed this, not wanting to roil the waters even more than they have been. If necessary I will join User:GeneralPatton in starting a RfC against HistoryBuffer's uncivil and demeaning language and behavior and no doubt we will have support. At any rate things have been quiet. So I would say that whatever the issues were and are, they have been aired, responded to, discussed and probably even resolved to some extent (which is my take on things right now). So this RfC is in any case long past many deadlines of "48 hours" and should be closed. Thank you for all your help. IZAK 21:16, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Speaking purely as a mediator, I will be happy to see harmony between you and Sam. I always prefer for matters to be resolved between parties rather than "going to court". Whether or not there's a formal Request for Mediation, it's the result that counts.

 * Agree to disagree on facts or values, and yet cooperate to make accurate, unbiased articles. --Uncle Ed (El Dunce) 12:17, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I can't say I'm convinced, but IZAK was amiable enough on his talk page, and has not made any slanderous statements or campaigns against me since then. Frankly it will take time, and consistantly positive interactions for me to feel resolved, but esp. since we are not currently editing any articles in common (to my knowledge) things seem to be in a state of calm. Perhaps I will have to wait until my next RfA before I can know if IZAK will engage in similar tactics, since I have recieved no assurance from him that he feels such techniques are other than acceptable. Sam [Spade] 15:39, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi there Sam, BTW, would you support a RfA by ME (I am not "running" by the way, just curious)? I did not know that one runs perpetual campaigns on Wikipdia for Admin positions? Hopefully, there will not be any need to object to your views. Although today I did receive a troubling message on my talk page from User:Viriditas: "Sam Spade is engaging in historical revisionism on Nazi Germany and Pursuit of Nazi collaborators. --Viriditas 22:38, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)" (see User talk:IZAK) which makes me very worried about the direction and positions you take on Wikipedia. At this time I am giving you the benefit of the doubt, and I hope you will not pursue the alleged positions that concern User:Viriditas and many others NOT interested in allowing Wikipedia to become a POV platform for "historical revisionism on Nazi Germany and Pursuit of Nazi collaborators" and similar abominable stuff. Only time will tell I guess. IZAK 06:08, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, I read that, as well as the identical comment he left @ User_talk:Jayjg. If you think he has a leg to stand on, I suggest you weigh in at the appropriate talk page, as he requested. Clearly he is having some trouble making his case, or he wouldn't be requesting backup.

 * What is truly abominable is that the ethnic cleansing and state sponsored race-based persecution of ethnic Germans after WWII could be described as "Pursuit of Nazi collaborators" by anyone claiming neutrality. Women being systematically raped and nailed to barn doors by their ears, children shot in the street, men beaten and driven into freight cars headed to gulags in Siberia... is this the sort of "victors justice" that fills you with pride?

 * Call me what you like, I will not back down while disgraceful articles such as this are paraded before our unfortunate readers, shaming both the wikipedia and neutral editors alike. I should hope that regardless of your POV, that you can see the proper response to such abominations. If I were to see you behave in a neutral, polite manner in response to issues such as this (as well as generally) for a period of time, I would of course support you for an adminship position. [[User:Sam Spade|Thomas Jefferson for President]] 15:35, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sam the Nazis should have thought of this: ("...Women being systematically raped and nailed to barn doors by their ears, children shot in the street, men beaten and driven into freight cars headed to gulags in Siberia...") happening BEFORE they attacked Russia in Operation Barbarossa (22nd June 1941), breaking their (signed and sealed) word of honor of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (1939), and killing millions of Russian civilians via Einsatzgruppen and similar abominable acts during the war. To enrage the proverbial Russian bear and then complain that it is acting "bear-like" is like expecting British bombers not to flatten Dresden in 1945 after the Germans had attacked Britain's cities with its own bombers in The Blitz of 1940-1. The moral of the story is, and somehow German's are HISTORICALLY VERY "learning disabled" about this, is that: Don't declare war (especially the Holocaust of the Jews) against the world and then expect everyone to treat you nicely (or fairly...as human emotions are loosed) just because you raise a white flag, after they spent years fighting to defeat you. Nobody told Germany to go into Russia in the first place (it was all part of Hitler's megalomania and the Germans followed him). Anyhow, this is all tangential stuff. The main concern I have is that you do seem to want the condemned history of the Nazi era to be treated with kindness, yet you don't seem to have similar instinctive feelings about the poor Jewish victims. Which then gets one thinking that maybe....what the heck, I won't say, I just hope that the pathetic and well-deserved defeat of Nazi Germany should serve as an example for those who fantasize about defending the indefensible. IZAK 08:41, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

In your racism you forget how many of those ethnic Germans lived in Russia, Ukraine, etc... prior to WWII. This "their ethnic clensing was deserved, all Germans were Nazi's" mentality disgusts me. Sam [Spade] 12:45, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sam, why are you accusing me of "racism" now? I did NOT say "their ethnic cleansing was deserved, all Germans were Nazi's" as those are YOUR words that you IMAGINE or project someone you don't know is saying. Please retract! In any case, I don't follow your reasoning. If the Nazis cared so much for their fellow ethnic Germans in Russia, then why did they endanger their (i.e. the ethnic Volks Deutchen) lives by attacking the host nation? Wouldn't diplomacy and trade be a far better approach? The former USSR consisted of hundreds of nationalities, ethnicities, and religions, from ethnic Germans in the west (tens of thousands of whom joined the Russian army to fight the Hitlerian Fascists, so they were most definitely NOT all Nazis, on the contrary), Eskimos in the north, and millions of Muslims in the south and Tartars and Mongols in the east. It should be obvious, that neighboring nations that attack Russia in the name of "protecting" their kindred kith and kin, and are then soundly thrashed on the battlefield by Russian soldiers, have no right to then "cry" "look what they are doing my ethnic cousins" since they are themselves in large measure responsible for bringing about a worsening of relations with the ruling Russians by having chosen war over peace. As I said, why would one want to provoke the Russian bear, and then complain that it is mauling one's cousins within its domain? "He who sows the wind, reaps the whirlwind", who said that? Think about it. IZAK 18:52, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I am not Hitler, nor a Nazi complaining. I am an american who wants to see atrocities presenting in a balanced light. Ethnic cleanisng and victors justice are always ugly and wrong. Sam [Spade] 22:10, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sam, Hitler is long dead, this is only a discussion about history. It is good to care about people, but it is also imporatnt when analyzing history to understand the factors behind events as well. The Nazis were masters of "ethnic cleansing and victors justice" so if one were to analyze why there was a similar back-lash against them and any of their cohorts, it makes sense to see the Nazis as conributing to the problem and not to accept their "cry" as phony "innocent victims" when they only have themselves to blame since they initiated the war. IZAK 08:12, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * It would seem you are unable to see thru your "all Germans are Nazi's" racist POV. Sam [Spade] 14:57, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sam, again I request that you retract your accusation, as I have never said, nor do I think, that "all Germans are Nazis" at any time, and I cannot fathom how you see me as "racist" if I am definitely anti-Nazi which was the "king" of all racist doctrines. I am most definietly not anti-German nor anti- any people (except for Anti-Semites whom any decent human being would despise) as I myself am a Germanic Ashkenazi Jew. So your insult is really a joke, and has no grounding in reality at all. Please apologize. IZAK 04:26, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Scroll up, and review your unfortunate opinions. Sam [Spade] 12:32, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sam, there must be serious cognitive differences between us. Could you please point to the exact words or sentences that leads you to assume things about my view of Germans and the Nazis, thanks. IZAK 01:38, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Sam the Nazis should have thought of this: ("...Women being systematically raped and nailed to barn doors by their ears, children shot in the street, men beaten and driven into freight cars headed to gulags in Siberia...") happening BEFORE they attacked Russia in Operation Barbarossa (22nd June 1941), breaking their (signed and sealed) word of honor of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (1939), and killing millions of Russian civilians via Einsatzgruppen and similar abominable acts during the war. To enrage the proverbial Russian bear and then complain that it is acting "bear-like" is like expecting British bombers not to flatten Dresden in 1945 after the Germans had attacked Britain's cities with its own bombers in The Blitz of 1940-1.

 * This makes it clear that you think Germans who suffered atrocities such as the Prussian Holocaust were Nazi's who should have thought ahead, and were foolish to complain. It wasn't nazi's who complained, it was women who were raped and crucified, children who were shot, and their husbands who morned them while riding in frieght cars to Siberia. Sam [Spade] 01:43, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sam: No, you seem to have confused things. I am saying that the Nazis should have realized that they would be endangering the lives of ethnic Germans BEFORE they (the Nazis) attacked Russia. The prime fault is with the instigators, in this case the Nazis, for starting the war. At NO point do I say that the unfortunate civilian victims were to blame for anything, and at NO point do I say that "all Germans are Nazis". IZAK 03:14, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * OK, then why the accusations of historical revisionism for my documenting these atrocities? Sam [Spade] 15:51, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I would say that if there is the appearance created that the Russians were mistreating the ethnic Germans because they were "acting on a whim" or only because of their Communist ideology, then it is like saying to kid that the "mosquito bites" (i.e. the Russians) that are hurting just "landed out of nowhere" on their "innocent skin" (i.e. of the ethnic Germans) without mentioning the fact that the mosquitos (i.e. the Nazis) caused the "bites" in the first place when they attacked Russia without warning. You have to convey the total picture of the evil the Nazis unleashed, not just that there were "casualties" some time after the war. IZAK 03:49, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I find these mosquito analogies about as polite as the "parisitic race" ideology of Nazism itself. No misdeed deserves another, and ethnic clensing is ethnic clensing, no excuses make it prettier. Do you think the article on the holocaust should more fullytake into account the claims of the Nazi party that Jews had engineered the German failure in WWI by war profiteering and other acts of betrayal, and that many Nazi's felt that the work camps were a reasonable reperation to exact from untermensch they felt had been exploiting them for so many generations? Of course not, there is never any justification for genocide, despite every genocide having been justified by the oppressors, and now, unfortunately, here by you as well. Sam [Spade] 16:25, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sam, ONLY the followers of the crazy dog Adolf Hitler "claimed" "that Jews had engineered the German failure in WWI by war profiteering and other acts of betrayal". No respectable historian would make this statement unless they were Anti-Semites! Furthermore, there was no such thing as "work camps"! There were either Nazi concentration camps or extermination camps, and they were NOT meant for "reperation to exact from untermensch they felt had been exploiting them for so many generations" but only for enslavement and then the genocide of the Jews which produced the Holocaust. The Jews of Germany served Germany loyally. Over a half million Jewish soldiers served in the German and Austrian armies during World War I. So your comparison is not only wrong, but it reveals a dangerous acceptance of a revisionist pro-Nazi history perspective. IZAK 23:57, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Typical, I accuse you of justifying crimes against Germans, and you accuse me of revisionism. Turnabout is fair play eh? Sam [Spade] 00:01, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sam, please do not put words in my proverbial mouth. I am NOT justifying "crimes against Germans" or against anyone else. I do NOT approve of crime. Period! When looking at historical events one looks at the causes and effects. To just look at the result only, i.e. that Russians abused ethnic Germans after World war II, without looking at the causes, i.e. that Nazi Germany provoked the Russions in the first place by breaking their alliance with Red Russia and attacking it in June of 1941, they (the Nazis) thereby also weakened the precarious position of the ethnic Germans who mostly allied themselves with Nazi Germany. I am not justifying it. You are confusing my use of description and explanation as tools of study with personal "bias" and "justifications". The comparison to the Jews of Germany is not only wrong but also unjust and illogical, because the German Jews were as German as any other group in Germany, having lived there since Roman times 2,000 years ago (maybe even longer), and the Nazis confused matters (they were masters of distortionist propaganda to electrify and mislead the German volk) to justify their own genocidal agenda, because of Hitler's demonic obsession with the Jews which only brought about the defeat of Germany and its the destruction of the 12-year "One thousand year Third Reich". IZAK 00:18, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * You calously disregard the Socio-economic anti-Semitism (rooted in the disproportionate success and/or influence, relative to their numbers within the general population, that individual Jews have achieved in a variety of occupations) that feuled the vitrol of the holocaust. You then use Nazi territorial expansion as a justification for later war crimes by the soviets. Nothing justifies war crimes, ethnic clensing, or genocide, but there are always excuses, explanation, attempts at justification, etc... Sam [Spade] 18:24, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If you review what I have repeated to you a few times already, you will see that I am trying to talk like a responsible historian and that all you seem to want to do is to tug at emotional heart strings that has nothing to do with the facts of history, just to run around looking for ways to portray groups you favor for whatever reason as "victims" without any regard for the context and facts of history. On the one hand you want to justify Nazi Anti-Semitism and somehow justify the Holocaust and at the same time you want to complain about the injustice of Russian behavior to ethnic Russians all the while ignoring the history behind that and how the Nazis provoked it in the first place. It is time for us to end the circular dancing around this topic as I have stated what I have to say a few times over, and you keep harping away and resorting to out of context emotionalism. IZAK 18:47, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

A general observation
The Wikipedia is much younger than the e-mail newsgroups which many people are familiar with. No one has really been able to prevent flame wars on Usenet or Dejanews. And even a subscribers-only mailing list can be hard to moderate. God knows I tried here at the English Wikipedia.

But we are not just posting e-mail messages. We are using a wiki to craft encyclopedia articles. This requires a mental and emotional shifting of gears. --user:Ed Poor (dope rouser) 14:34, Nov 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * I am personally completely unfamiar with e-mail newsgroups. I am however familiar with message board forums, and these in my experience have immaculate civility, since rude comments are removed, and the user making them warned. If incivility continues, the offenders are banned. Its very simple. Eventually wikipedia will have such enlightened policies, until them some of us will suffer thru, others will leave. [[User:Sam Spade|Thomas Jefferson for President]] 16:48, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hmm. Maybe I should devote a greater percentage of my Wikipedia time to promoting civility. Let me sleep on this.... --user:Ed Poor (pre-US rodeo) 22:34, Nov 3, 2004 (UTC)

Talk:His Majesty's Theatre, London

Edit on 09-01 by MrLopez2681
I am currently working on a book on the Romantic Ballet of Cesare Pugni and the ballets of his time and after (I've written an article on Pugni here on wiki).

The Ballet company known as the "Paris Opera Ballet" was known at that time as the "Ballet du Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique"

The ballet "Stella" was never staged at Her Majesty's Theatre.

Edgecombe's article is not a good reference. Guest's "the Romantic Balet in England" is far better and doesnt contain errors.

I moved the paragraphs concerning the romantic ballet to the section on Benjamin Lumley - it was due to him that the Romantic ballet thrived at that time at Her Majesty's Theatre.

I replaced the image of Marie Taglioni in "Zéphire et Flore" with one of the ballerinas in "Pas de Quatre". The image from "Zéphire et Flore" is from a performance staged in Russia, so its out of place here. "Pas de Quatre" is the most famous ballet ever staged at Her Majesty's Theatre.

 * Thanks for that - certainly not my area of expertise. Kbthompson (talk) 08:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

The Miracle
Would it be worth a sentence on the celebrated 'miracle' at a Haydn premiere when everyone rushed forward to applaud at the end and thus escaped being hit by the big chandelier that fell down on the stalls? Hence the name of the Miracle Symphony (No 96) though in fact it wasn't 96 that had just been played. I can dig out chapter and verse if wanted. Tim riley (talk) 16:10, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Celebrated? That sounds like a synonym for "notable"... so, yes, by all means dig.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:57, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I think that it was #102. But was it at HM's? --GuillaumeTell 15:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

possible to explain what westminster is in the first sentence?
as it stands it takes the reader more than 8 senteces to ascertain the location of the subject as London, England. Alternatively the reader is forced to refer to the box, which may not show on the first page for some screen resolutions.

Can we change the opening sentence to say "in the City of Westminster, England", or just simply "in Greater London area"?

58.246.141.67 (talk) 01:29, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, it's on Earth. BTW Zetetic Apparatchik (talk) 02:23, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, that is a fair point. Not everyone knows the City of Westminster is part of London. Plus I'm not sure how many people would say "in the Haymarket", as opposed to "on Haymarket".--Nickhh (talk) 09:59, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Generally speaking, the clue is in West End theatre - like Broadway theatre - it locates the subject unambiguously. We also generally go from the more specific to the general. 'Greater London' is about 660 sq mi, and often conflated with the eponymous City. I would suggest 'located on' is superfluous. The need is always to provide location without either over specifying it (expressions like 'a London Borough in London); explaining the peculiarly complicated organisation of London's local government in every article; or stating the obvious - as a 'world class' conurbation, London is possibly more familiar to readers than England. Following the links also removes any ambiguity as to locus. HTH Kbthompson (talk) 13:37, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Previously it simply said "in the City of Westminster [full stop]", without any reference of any sort to London or England. And "West End theatre" again doesn't immediately identify it to those out of a certain loop. Anyway, I think the current version is fine in this respect. --Nickhh (talk) 23:00, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Ownership Ambiguity?
There seems to be some ambiguity concerning ownership of the theatre in the current text. Is it Really Useful or the Crown Estates? Perhaps it is an issue of freehold vs leasehold ownership. Does anyone have this detail?

A jolly good article, by the way!

Quartic (talk) 12:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The land is owned by the Crown Estate; the theatre is owned (leasehold) by Really Useful. If there's ambiguity, it's in British law on ownership! HTH
 * Thanks, it was very much the result of a collaborative effort to improve the article to FA. Kbthompson (talk) 13:18, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

In addition to the ambiguity, there's also a sentence fragment in the discussion of this topic. Will work on that.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:06, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Red-links
I'm a little concerned at the proliferation of red-links. A featured article should not contain red-links. I accept some may be aspirational for the development of articles, but this should be done when the article is complete, not as an interim measure. We'll need to unlink them if an article is not forthcoming quickly. Thanks Kbthompson (talk) 13:48, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I support unlinking any that you think are not particularly notable subjects per WP:REDLINK. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:30, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Error in infobox
The dates for rebuilding (top RH) of page show 1872. The main article refers to 1868. This earlier date is correct as Mapleson was lessee from October to November 1868 and as co-lessee with Frederick Gye from 1869 to 1871 Autumn season. 86.207.40.7 (talk) 19:44, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Good catch. I deleted the info from the infobox, as the rebuilding info doesn't need to be at the top of the article.  Better to streamline the box. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:31, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Military Symphony
I just read reference 23, and it doesn't say the Military Symphony premiered at the King's Theatre. According to Buildings for Music by Michael Forsyth, it premiered in January 1794 at the Hanover Square Rooms, before Salomon moved his concerts to the King's Theatre. Babygrand1 (talk) 19:39, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * After a hasty rummage in the archives I think Babygrand1 may well be right. I am about to be away for a week, with minimal internet access, but will look into this more thoroughly on my return, if no-one else gets in first. Certainly others of the London Symphonies were premiered at the King's Theatre, so any necessary revision of the present text can be fairly seamless. Tim riley (talk) 12:40, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

2. Do we know who "Malcolm" is?

3. In §Architecture, could the first-paragraph info about the stage be moved to the next paragraph, which discusses the interior?

4. Same section: can be moved to the initial mention of the arcade in §William Taylor?

5. Unless I'm missing something, neither the pages given by the url nor the archive-url for Fisher's review of "Great West End Theatres" actually mention that the DVD series covers this theatre. Is just the OCLC link sufficient? Is mentioning this series due? Could this New York Arts source, which mentions the theatre in passing, be reliable enough?
 * Maybe I don't understand you, but the Fisher review says that the theatre is the "starting point for this brand-new series...". I think this is worth citing. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:33, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Oh my goodness. It is not good to get old.  Now replaced with relevant cite. But I do think it is worth mentioning the series.

Lenton, Nottingham

Lenton is an area of the city of Nottingham, in the Nottingham district, in the ceremonial county of Nottinghamshire, England. Most of Lenton is situated in the electoral ward of 'Dunkirk and Lenton', with a small part in 'Wollaton East and Lenton Park'. Originally a separate agricultural village, Lenton became part of the town of Nottingham in 1877, when the town's boundaries were enlarged. Nottingham became a city as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Victoria in 1897.

History
The name Lenton derives from the River Leen, which runs nearby.

Lenton and its mills on the Leen get a mention in the Domesday Book in the late 11th century: "In Lentune 4 sochmen and 4 bordars have two ploughs and a mill."

Lenton Priory
Lenton Priory was founded in the village by William Peverel at the beginning of the 12th century. A Cluniac monastery, the priory was home to mostly French monks until the late 14th-century when it was freed from the control of its French mother-house, Cluny Abbey. From the 13th-century, the priory struggled financially and was noted for "its poverty and indebtedness". The priory was dissolved in 1538, as part of King Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries.

Following dissolution, the priory was demolished and its lands passed through private hands. The Priory Church of St. Anthony is thought to incorporate elements of the chapel of the priory's hospital.

In 2005, Lenton celebrated the 900th anniversary of the foundation of the Priory. The centrepiece of the celebrations was a special festival held in the grounds of the Priory Church of St. Anthony, on 21 May 2005.

Lenton Fair
King Henry II granted permission for the priory to hold an annual fair on The Feast of Saint Martin: 11 November. Lenton Fair originally ran for 8 days before being extended to 12 days. The fair caused numerous disputes with the mayor and burgesses of the town of Nottingham as no markets could be held within Nottingham during the period in the Lenton fair. In return, the people of Nottingham were given special rates to hire booths at the fair. The Fair continued after the demise of the Priory, though its length was gradually reduced. Its emphasis slowly changed and, in 1584, it was described as a horse-fair when servants of Mary, Queen of Scots attended. By the 17th century, the Fair had acquired a reputation as a great fair for all sorts of horses. In the 19th century, it was largely frequented by farmers and horse dealers. The Fair finally ceased operating at the beginning of the 20th century.

16th-20th centuries
From the closure of the priory in 1538 until the late 18th century, Lenton was primarily a rural agricultural village.

In the 1790s, the Nottingham Canal was constructed, passing through the village. This led to industrialisation and population growth, with a number of factories built and the population increasing from 893 to 3077 between 1801 and 1831. The area known as New Lenton was developed on agricultural land separate from the village, to accommodate the expanding residential and industrial needs both from the village and the neighbouring town Nottingham. As with many other villages surrounding Nottingham, many of the residents were involved in the manufacture and trade of lace.

Originally a separate village, Lenton became part of the town of Nottingham in 1877, when the town's boundaries were enlarged. Nottingham became a city as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Victoria in 1897.

Both the University of Nottingham and Queen's Medical Centre are within Lenton. This has increased the amount of student accommodation available, hence making the location heavily populated with students.

Civil parish
In 1891 the parish had a population of 10,957. On 26 March 1897 the parish was abolished and merged with Nottingham.

Geography
Administratively, Lenton falls within the Nottingham South constituency. Most of the area lies within the electoral ward of Dunkirk and Lenton. The "Lenton Triangle" area (bounded by Derby, Faraday and Ilkeston Roads) is considered by most residents to be part of Lenton, due to its similar character; it falls into a neighbouring ward Radford and Park.

Lenton is largely a residential area and is popular with students at the nearby University of Nottingham who choose to live off-campus. Indeed, the high proportion of students has led some local residents in recent years to campaign against what they perceive as the studentification of the area.

Marcus Garvey Ballroom
The Marcus Garvey Ballroom is a local West Indian community centre managed by West Indian Cavaliers, and located on Lenton Boulevard. Named after Marcus Mosiah Garvey, this venue is famous for its large music hall, the Ballroom, which has a capacity of around 1000. Events include clubnights run by students from the universities, including Firefly, Detonate, Misst, and also specialises in live acts, it also houses the legendary C.P.H sound system.

The Marcus Garvey Day Care Centre also hosts day care facilities for African Caribbean elders, with a wide range of activities including bingo, raffle, needlework, dominoes, arts and crafts and a prayer meeting held on Friday mornings. Fresh meals are available for a small charge. The centre has a library, an organ, music system, TV and video facilities. The building is wheelchair accessible.

This building was formerly part of the Raleigh bicycle company's development in Lenton, now largely demolished to make way for a new University of Nottingham campus. For much of the twentieth century, it was the largest bicycle factory in the world.

The Lenton Centre
The Lenton Centre in Willoughby Street is a local community centre with gym and swimming pool. Previously a council facility, it was bought by local residents in 2004 for £10 when it was threatened by closure.

Notable residents
Albert Ball VC (1896 –1917), Britain's first and probably still its best known 'Air Ace' was born at 32 Lenton Boulevard and went to school at the Lenton Church School. The Albert Ball Memorial Homes in Church Street are a striking and lasting monument to the brief life of Albert Ball. After a series of moves to houses throughout Lenton, his family settled at 43 Lenton Road. His father Sir Albert Ball, rose in status from a plumber to become Lord Mayor of Nottingham.

Helen Kirkpatrick Watts (1881 – 18 August 1972) was brought up in Lenton where her father was the vicar. She achieved local notoriety when she was first arrested for protesting about women's suffrage outside the Houses of Parliament in 1909.

Bobby Vinton

Stanley Robert Vinton (born April 16, 1935) is an American singer, celebrity, and actor, who hosted his own self-titled TV show in the late 1970s. As a teen idol, he became known as "The Polish Prince", as his music paid tribute to his Polish heritage. One of his most popular songs is "Blue Velvet" (a cover of the 1951 song recorded by Tony Bennett) which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963, No. 1 in Canada (5 weeks), and number 2 in the UK in 1990.

Early life
Vinton was born in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, the only child of locally popular bandleader Stan Vinton and Dorothy Studzinski Vinton. He is of Polish and Lithuanian descent. The family surname was originally Vintula, and was changed by Vinton's father. Vinton's parents encouraged their son's interest in music by giving him his daily 25-cent allowance after he had practiced the clarinet.

At 16, Vinton formed his first band, which played clubs around the Pittsburgh area. With the money he earned, he helped finance his college education at Duquesne University, where he graduated with a degree in musical composition. While at Duquesne, he became proficient on all of the instruments in the band: piano, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, drums, and oboe. When Vinton became an active musician, it was common for people to become confused with the bands of father and son, for both were named Stanley. Vinton's father suggested his son use his middle name of Robert professionally to clear up the confusion.

Vinton's birthplace of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, is also the birthplace of Perry Como, Vinton's hometown named two streets, Bobby Vinton Boulevard and the shorter adjoining Bobby Vinton Drive, in his honor. These streets were built in the late 1970s; prior attempts to name a residential street after him failed. The residents had not cared for the singer always claiming Pittsburgh as his home town on TV interviews. Como always claimed Canonsburg as his hometown, so hundreds of people changed their address when the town renamed a street in the east end after Perry Como. The Canonsburg town fathers had plans to erect a statue in Vinton's honour, but Vinton himself vetoed the idea, noting that the $100,000 planned cost could go to far more important town needs.

1950s
According to his autobiography, Bobby was inspired to record his music by the Elvis Presley movie Jailhouse Rock. He formed his own record label, Bobby Records, in October 1958. His first release was "Twilight Time", backed with "Hallelujah". Bobby sang on the B-side of the 45 rpm release, making this his first commercially released vocal recording. This record did not chart. In March 1959, Bobby recorded for the Melody label out of Philadelphia, listed as "Bobby Vinton and his Orchestra" for the first time. His release of "Harlem Nocturne", backed with "Always in My Heart" with a vocal by Bobby, attracted attention in Pennsylvania. His 'young man with a big band' style was established here, and "Always In My Heart" would be a song he would return to. In August 1959, Bobby moved to another larger record company, Alpine Records. He released two self-written singles for Alpine, the first being "You'll Never Forget" backed by "First Impression". The second Alpine release was "A Freshman and a Sophomore", backed with the self-written "The Sheik"; this was released in February 1960. Both Alpine releases garnered Billboard magazine mentions.

1960s
After two years of service in the United States Army, in which he served as a chaplain's assistant, Vinton was signed to Epic Records in 1960 as a bandleader: "A Young Man With a Big Band". The break for the Epic Records contract had come after Vinton and his band appeared on Guy Lombardo's TV Talent Scouts program. Since March 20, 1961, his released three singles. Titled "Posin'" "Little lonely one" and "Well I ask ya",these records were his vocal recordings, and the flip sides were credited to "Bobby Vinton And His Orchestra". Despite the big label backing, the three singles were not successful, and two albums, Bobby Vinton Dancing At The Hop and Bobby Vinton Plays for his Lil Darlin's did not sell well. With Epic ready to drop him from its roster, Vinton found the material for his first hit single literally sitting in a reject pile. The song was titled "Roses Are Red (My Love)". Vinton had to do his own promotion for the song; he bought one thousand copies and hired a young woman to deliver a copy of the record and a dozen red roses to every local DJ. It spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was also a hit on the Country and R&B charts. The success of the song pushed Epic to renew Vinton's contract and change his status from bandleader to solo singer.

Arguably, Vinton's most famous song is 1963's "Blue Velvet", originally a minor hit for Tony Bennett in 1951, that also spent three weeks at the number one positions in Billboard, Cash Box, and Record World magazines. In 1986, 23 years later, David Lynch named his movie Blue Velvet after the song. In 1990, "Blue Velvet" reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, after being featured in a Nivea commercial. The 1990 reissue also hit number 3 in the Irish Singles Chart and number 7 in Australia.

In 1964, Vinton had two number 1 hits, "There! I've Said It Again" (a number 1 hit in 1945 for Vaughn Monroe) in January and "Mr. Lonely" in December. Vinton's version of "There! I've Said It Again" is noteworthy for being the last U.S. Billboard number-one single of the pre-Beatles era, deposed from the Hot 100 summit by "I Want to Hold Your Hand". Also noteworthy is the fact that Vinton continued to have big hit records during the British Invasion, scoring 16 top-ten hits, while Connie Francis, Ricky Nelson, the Shirelles, and other major artists of the early 1960s struggled to reach even the Top 40. Vinton wrote and composed "Mr. Lonely" during his chaplain's assistant service in the U.S. Army in the late 1950s. The song was recorded during the same 1962 session that produced "Roses Are Red (My Love)", and the two songs launched Vinton's singing career. It was released as an album track on the 1962 Roses Are Red (and other songs for the young & sentimental) LP. Despite pressure from Vinton to release it as a single, Epic instead had Buddy Greco release it and it flopped. Two years and millions of records sold later, Bobby prevailed on Epic to include "Mr. Lonely" on his Bobby Vinton's Greatest Hits LP. Soon DJs picked up on the song and airplay resulted in demand for a single release. "Mr. Lonely" shot up the charts in the late fall of 1964 to reach number 1 on the Hot 100 on December 12, 1964. Epic then released the LP Bobby Vinton Mr. Lonely, giving the song a unique claim to fame since it now appeared on three Bobby Vinton albums released within two years. The song continued to spin gold for Vinton, its author-composer, in the 50+ years to date since reaching number 1; Harmony Korine named his 2007 film Mister Lonely after the latter and features the song in the film's opening, and it was also the basis for Akon's 2005 hit, "Lonely".

In 1965, Vinton continued his "Lonely" success streak with the self-written "L-O-N-E-L-Y". "Long Lonely Nights" peaked at number 17 and spawned an album, Bobby Vinton Sings for Lonely Nights. Vinton's self-written 1966 hit "Coming Home Soldier" hit No. 11 on the Hot 100 and was a favorite on request shows on the American Forces Network during the Cold War and Vietnam era, often called in by soldiers about to board the Freedom Bird that would take them back to the "Land of the Round Doorknobs". Vinton's lush 1967 remake of "Please Love Me Forever", which reached number 6 and sold over a million copies, began a string of twelve consecutive Hot 100 hits, all remakes, over a little less than five and a half years. His 1968 hit "I Love How You Love Me" surged to number 9, sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold record by the RIAA.

1970s
In the 1970s, Vinton continued to hit the Top 40, notably with "Ev'ry Day of My Life", a No. 2 Adult Contemporary hit also awarded the Jukebox single of the year award which was produced by Jimmy Bowen and CBS recording engineer Jim Reeves, which peaked at number 24 on April 29, 1972, and "Sealed With a Kiss" hitting number 19 on August 19–26, 1972. Despite the success of the two hits, Epic Records decided to drop Vinton from his contract the following year, claiming that his days of selling records were over.

Undeterred, Vinton spent $50,000 of his own money on "My Melody of Love", partially self-written and partially sung in Polish. The suggestion for the song came from Vinton's mother. After six major labels turned Vinton down, Lindy Blaskey, Managing Director of A&R at ABC/Dunhill Records, bought Vinton's idea, and the result was a multi-million-selling single of simple lyrics that hit number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 2 on the Cashbox Top 100 chart, and number 1 on the AC chart in 1974. A gold album, Melodies of Love, followed as well as one final Top 40 pop hit (the traditional "Beer Barrel Polka", also sung partially in Polish, b/w "Dick And Jane" in 1975). Vinton would go on to record an additional four albums for ABC Records, three of which hit the Billboard Hot 200 albums chart. Epic Records rediscovered Vinton in the wake of his newfound success, releasing two albums of previously recorded material, both of which hit the top album charts. In addition, in a throwback to his career start in the 1950s, his two albums on Ahed were released in Canada. Party Music (1976) went platinum and 100 Memories (1979) was successful. In 1975, Vinton exploded onto televisions across the United States and Canada with a successful half-hour variety show, The Bobby Vinton Show, which aired from 1975 to 1978 and of which "My Melody of Love" was the theme song; ABC Records subsequently released an album of songs performed on the show.

In 1978, Vinton wrote his autobiography, titled The Polish Prince, which became a bestseller. In the same year, CBS-TV aired Bobby Vinton's Rock N' Rollers, a one-hour special that achieved top ratings.

1980s–1990s
While appearing at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium prior to Game 4 of the 1990 National League Championship Series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds, Vinton delivered a mixed-up rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" that left out many of the words and was off-key. Controversy ensued after CBS broadcaster Jack Buck said on air, "Well, when you're Polish and live in Pittsburgh, you can do anything you want with the words!"

Honors and achievements
In the early 1990s, Vinton found himself booked as a guest star at the Roy Clark Theatre in Branson, Missouri. He was unsure of his ability to draw at what was then a country-western-themed resort, and was shocked at the massive turnout for his concerts there. He was so impressed with the Branson model that he invested millions in building the Bobby Vinton Blue Velvet Theatre and enjoyed ten successful years there. In 2002 the theatre was sold to David King, creator and producer of Spirit of the Dance. Vinton returned to Branson periodically for limited engagements at the theatre.

Billboard Magazine called Bobby Vinton "the all-time most successful love singer of the 'Rock-Era'". From 1962 to 1972, Vinton had had more Billboard number 1 hits than any other male vocalist, including Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. In recognition of his recording career, Vinton was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 6916 Hollywood Blvd.

Vinton's alma mater, Duquesne University, awarded him an honorary doctorate in music in 1978.

Acting
Vinton appeared in seven acting roles during his singing career, commencing with the beach party movie Surf Party in 1964. In 1965, he played George Reynolds in the episode "Patty and the Newspaper Game" of ABC's sitcom The Patty Duke Show. He was also cast as Jeff McCandles in the 1971 John Wayne film Big Jake and as Ben Young in another Wayne film, The Train Robbers (1973). His last role as a character was as Bobby Gaines in the 1983 episode "Chance of a Lifetime" of the NBC family drama television series Boone, starring Tom Byrd, while his last scripted role as himself was in 1997, appearing in part one of the three part series finale of Coach.

Personal life
Vinton and his wife, Dolores, have been married since December 17, 1962. They reside in Englewood, Florida, and have five children. In 2015, after contracting a serious case of shingles, Vinton retired from live performing and recording. He spoke to his fans and friends in February 2018 on The Cousin Brucie Show on Sirius XM radio, and encouraged all to get a shingles vaccination.

Avadhuta

Avadhūta (IAST , written as अवधूत) is a Sanskrit term from the root 'to shake' (see V. S. Apte and Monier-Williams) that, among its many uses, in some Indian religions indicates a type of mystic or saint who is beyond egoic-consciousness, duality and common worldly concerns and acts without consideration for standard social etiquette. Avadhūta is a Jivanmukta who gives his insight to others and teaches them about his realisation of the true nature of the ultimate reality (Brahman) and self (Ātman) and takes the role of a guru to show the path of moksha to others. Some Avadhūta also achieve the title of Paramahamsa.

Similar figures (colloquially called 'mad/crazy monks') are also known in Buddhist traditions, such as the medieval Zen monk Ikkyū, and the 20th-century Tibetan tulku Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. In Tibetan Buddhism the equivalent type is called a nyönpa.

Types
Feuerstein frames how the term avadhūta came to be associated with the mad or eccentric holiness or 'crazy wisdom' of some antinomian paramahamsa who were often 'skyclad' or 'naked' (Sanskrit: digambara): "The appellation 'avadhūta', more than any other, came to be associated with the apparently crazy modes of behaviour of some paramahamsas, who dramatize the reversal of social norms, a behaviour characteristic of their spontaneous lifestyle. Their frequent nakedness is perhaps the most symbolic expression of this reversal."

Sacrifice
Sarat Chandra Das et al. equate Chöd practitioners as a type of avadhūta: "ཀུ་སུ་ལུ་པ ku-su-lu-pa is a word of Tantrik mysticism, its proper Tibetan equivalent being གཅོད་པ, the art of exorcism. The mystic Tantrik rites of the Avadhauts, called Avadhūtipa in Tibet, exist in India."

The rites of Chöd differ between lineages but essentially there is an offering of their body as food, a blessing to demons and other entities to whom this kind of offering may be of benefit, in a feast called the ganachakra. This sādhanā (practice) is common to another denizen of the charnel ground, Dattātreya the avadhūta, to whom has been attributed the nondualist medieval song, the Avadhūta Gītā. Dattātreya was a founding guru (ādiguru) of the Aghori according to Barrett:

"Lord Dattatreya, an antinomian form of Shiva closely associated with the cremation ground, who appeared to Baba Kina Ram atop Girnar Mountain in Gujarat. Considered to be the adi guru (ancient spiritual teacher) and founding deity of Aghor, Lord Dattatreya offered his own flesh to the young ascetic as prasād (a kind of blessing), conferring upon him the power of clairvoyance and establishing a guru-disciple relationship between them."

Mahānirvāṇatantram
John Woodroffe, in his translation of the Mahanirvana tantra from the original Sanskrit into English under the pen name "Arthur Avalon", may be the introduction of the archetype of "avadhūta" to the English-reading public, as none of the avadhūta upanishads were translated amongst the collections of minor upanishads such as the Thirty Minor Upanishads. The Mahānirvāṇa tantra is an example of a nondualist tantra, and the translation of this work had a profound impact on the Indologists of the early-to mid-20th century. The work mentions four kinds of avadhūta.

Brahmanirvāṇatantram
The Brahmanirvantantra describes how to identify the avadhuts of the following types:

 * 1) Brahmāvadhūta : An avadhuta from birth who appears in any class of society. Completely indifferent to the world or worldly matters.
 * 2) Shaivāvadhūta : Avadhutas who have taken to the renounced order of life (sannyasa), often with unkempt long hair (jata), or who dress in the manner of Shaivites and spend almost all of their time in trance (samadhi), or meditation.
 * 3) Vīrāvadhūta : This person looks like a sadhu who has put red colored sandal paste on his body and wears saffron clothes. His hair is very well grown and is normally furling in the wind. They wear Hindu prayer beads made of Rudraksha, or of bones. They hold a wooden stick in their hand and additionally they always have a parashu (ritual ax) or damaru (small drum) with them.
 * 4) Kulāvadhūta : These people are supposed to have taken initiation from the Kaula sampradaya or are adepts in Kundalini Tantra. It is supposedly very difficult to recognize these people, as they do not wear any outward signs designating them as avadhutas. The speciality of these people is that they remain and live like ordinary people do. They can show themselves in the form of kings, warriors, householders or beggars.

Relationship with the Nath sampradaya
The Nath sampradaya is a form of avadhūta panthan. In this sampradaya, Guru and yoga are of extreme importance. The important book for the Nath is the Avadhuta Gita. Gorakshanath is considered the topmost form of the avadhuta-state.

Books
"One of the earliest hatha yoga scriptures, the Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati, contains many verses that describe the avadhūta. One stanza (VI.20) in particular refers to his chameleon-like capacity to animate any character or role. At times, it is said, he behaves like a worldling or even a king, at other times like an ascetic or naked renunciant.'"
 * Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati is a very early extant hatha yoga Sanskrit text attributed to Gorakshanath by the indigenous tradition, as Georg Feuerstein relates:
 * Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar's Avadhoota: Reason & Reverence, Indian Institute of World Culture, Bangalore, 1958.
 * The Avadhūtaka Upaniṣad is the 79th book of the Muktikā canon of Upaniṣads. It is a sannyāsa upaniṣad associated with the Black Yajurveda (कृष्णयजुर्वेद).
 * According to the International Nath Order of the Nath sampradāya, the Avadhūta Gītā is a text of Advaita Vedānta sung by Dattātreya and recorded by his disciples Svāmī and Kārtika.

Talk:Dymphna

Untitled

 * I added that she is a patron saint of virgins as well (because she protected her chastity from her father). Her chaplets are sometimes sold in the white (for virginity) and red (for martyrdom) as well as the traditional green. I figuring adding the martyr thing is a little redundant though. I think the insanity word is a liitle offensive, but than again I realize its use in its historical usage, so I don't have a problem as it is. Khirad 03:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Even though she protected her chastity from her father, she has never been the patron saint for virgins. Sorry if this comes out a bit harsh but you can't arbitrarily add patronage based on the color of the chaplet and story. Long standing tradition is that St. Agnes is the patron saint of virgins. Her and Joan of Arc. --Dysepsion 03:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Eastern Orthodox connection
I've checked the website of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North America (www.goarch.org) and can not find any cross reference to Saint Dymphna under any of the given spellings. In addition, the Canonical Calendar for May 15 shows:

On Tuesday, May 15, 2012 we celebrate 5th Tuesday after Pascha Pachomius the Great Achillius the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Larissa Barbaros the Myrrhbearer of Kerkyra Andrew the Hermit & Wonderworker (http://www.goarch.org/chapel/dateceleb_view?m=5&d=15&y=2012 retrieved 9 May 2012)

That being said, she is recognized by the Antiochian Orthodox Church (http://www.antiochian.org/content/st-dymphna-martyr-belgium-0), The Orthodox Church in America (OCA- originally tied to the Russian Orthodox Church, and now auto cephalous) (http://www.saintsmaryandmarthaorthodoxmonastery.org/newsletter_Jan2006.html), and references to her are found on the Orthodoxwiki and several other sites which are dedicated to pre-Schismatic saints.

I'm going to check with personal sources on this matter, but it might be worth consideration to be more specific than just "Eastern Orthodox" on the side bar of this article.

Hell on Wheels

Hell on Wheels was the itinerant collection of flimsily assembled gambling houses, dance halls, saloons, and brothels that followed the army of Union Pacific Railroad workers westward as they constructed the first transcontinental railroad in 1860s North America. The huge numbers of wage-earning young men working in what was a remote wilderness, far from the constraints of home, provided a lucrative opportunity for business. As the end of the line continually moved westward, Hell on Wheels followed along, reconstructing itself on the outskirts of each town that became, in turn, the center of activity for the Union Pacific's construction work.

Etymology
In 1869, the use of the term "Hell on Wheels" to describe the phenomenon was documented by Springfield, Massachusetts Republican newspaper editor Samuel Bowles.

"As the Railroad marched thus rapidly across the broad Continent of plain and mountain, there was improvised a rough and temporary town at its every public stopping-place. As this was changed every thirty or forty days, these settlements were of the most perishable materials,— canvas tents, plain board shanties, and turf-hovels,—pulled down and sent forward for a new career, or deserted as worthless, at every grand movement of the Railroad company. Only a small proportion of their populations had aught to do with the road, or any legitimate occupation. Most were the hangers-on around the disbursements of such a gigantic work, catching the drippings from the feast in any and every form that it was possible to reach them. Restaurant and saloon keepers, gamblers, desperadoes of every grade, the vilest of men and of women made up this “Hell on Wheels”, as it was most aptly termed."

- Samuel Bowles

In popular culture
John Ford's silent film The Iron Horse (1924) portrayed an idealized image of Hell on Wheels.

AMC's television drama series, Hell On Wheels was originally broadcast from 2011 to 2016 and was set from 1865 to 1869. It centers on the mobile encampment that accompanied the construction of First Transcontinental Railroad, including the Union Pacific company men, surveyors, support workers, laborers, prostitutes, church staff, and mercenaries.

Several scenes in the 2013 Disney film The Lone Ranger briefly take place at a Hell on Wheels brothel.

Other uses
The 2nd Armored Division of the United States Army adopted the nickname "Hell on Wheels" during World War II.

P.S. (film)

P.S. is a 2004 American drama film directed by Dylan Kidd. The screenplay by Kidd and Helen Schulman is based on Schulman's 2001 novel p.s. The film stars Laura Linney and Topher Grace.

Plot
Thirty-nine-year old divorcée Louise Harrington is Director of Admissions at Columbia University School of the Arts. Her only two friends are her ex-husband Peter, a Columbia professor, and her best friend she's known since high school.

Louise is unnerved when she receives an application from F. Scott Feinstadt, the same name of her high school sweetheart who was killed in a car crash, and calls the student to arrange an interview as he hadn't included the slides of his work. His voice is also familiar, so she visits her mom's upstate to find memorabilia of Scott.

When F. Scott finally shows up in her office on Monday, his appearance, mannerisms, and painting style closely resemble those of her former love. The similarities are so uncanny, Louise begins to suspect the young artist may be the reincarnation of her old flame. After she looks over F. Scott's slides, he hurries out of her office, fearing her rejection.

Louise follows F. Scott out, coaxing him into doing a private interview in her home. A short time later, their mutual attraction blooms into an affair. Also complicating Louise's life is her relationship with Peter, who over dinner that night confesses he is learning to cope with a sex addiction that, unknown to her, plagued their marriage.

Delving into the details, Peter admits he had sex with nearly 100 women and men. He claims that Louise's cluelessness about it practically goaded him to continue doing it, wanting to be caught.

her ne'er-do-well brother Sammy, who is favored by their mother Ellie despite his shortcomings; and her best friend Missy, who stole the original Scott from Louise before his death and seems intent on doing the same with the contemporary version.

Production
On the DVD release of the film, director Dylan Kidd explains how cuts in the film changed the character of Louise. He opted to remove a scene depicting F. Scott living at home with his mother because he felt it bestowed upon him a lack of maturity he didn't want him to display. In that same scene, however, Louise confessed to being only an administrative assistant responsible for mailing catalogues and arranging campus tours rather than the director of admissions she had led the young man to believe she was. Deleting the scene necessitated making other cuts for the sake of continuity. On the DVD, Kidd also includes a deleted scene set in a cafe where Louise and F. Scott became better acquainted following their initial meeting and preceding their first sexual encounter in her apartment. Kidd had excised it due to time constraints but admits it made Louise look like less of a predator than she did without it.

The soundtrack includes the songs "These Flowers" and "When the Day Is Short," written and performed by Martha Wainwright.

Release
The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival. It was shown at the Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Austin Film Festival, and Edmonton International Film Festival before being given a limited theatrical release in the US, where it grossed $180,503.

Critical reception
On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 54% based on 81 reviews. The site’s critics consensus reads, "Laura Linney is as watchable as ever, but the melancholy P.S. never finds its footing." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 55 out of 100 based on 28 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote the film shows a "contempt for its central character in specific and for women of a certain age in general" and that it lacks "the energy of Mr. Kidd's first feature." While Dargis noted Linney "easily negotiates the story's emotional and narrative switchbacks, sliding from fury to hurt like rain on a window, she can't fashion a living, breathing, believable human being from such a shabbily patched-together conceit."

Carla Meyer of the San Francisco Chronicle said, "Filmmaker Dylan Kidd assayed male-arrested development quite brilliantly in 2002's Roger Dodger, and at some moments, his follow-up film hints at a scabrous female reinterpretation. But Kidd and co-writer Helen Schulman...smooth every edge, and P.S. goes disappointingly soft despite two dynamite lead performances."

in a more positive review, Peter Travers of Rolling Stone awarded the film three out of a possible four stars. He commented Kidd "delivers a sexy, funny surprise package that resonates with long-buried emotions. Grace, away from the sitcom slick of That '70s Show, shows killer charm and rare sensitivity. But [it] ... is Linney's show, and she makes it hilarious and haunting."

Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times awarded the film three out of four stars and compared the film to Birth, also released in 2004. Ebert wrote, "Both films are fascinating because they require us to see the younger character through two sets of eyes – our own, which witness an attractive woman drawn to a younger male, and the women's, which see a lost love in a new container."

Accolades
Laura Linney was nominated for the Satellite Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, and she shared Best Actress honors with Emmanuelle Devos at the Mar del Plata Film Festival, where the film was nominated for Best Picture. Topher Grace won the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Award for Best Breakthrough Performance by an Actor for this film and In Good Company. The film was also nominated for the Artios Award from the Casting Society of America for Best Casting in an Independent Feature Film.
