Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Winter Sonata

Winter Sonata
Winter Sonata was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete and move content from Winter Sonata (drama) to Winter Sonata.

Hi, This page is now an orphaned redirect to Winter Sonata (drama) after a move + a fix on all the links pointing originally to this page. Gtabary 15:21, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, there's nothing wrong with redirects even if they are orphaned. For future reference by the way redirects for deletion should be listed at Redirects for deletion. -- Graham  ☺ | Talk 15:32, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Why did you move Winter Sonata to Winter Sonata (drama) if you have nothing to put at Winter Sonata? I'd say move it back and delete the resulting redir at Winter Sonata (drama) (after reverting the link changes). Clearly the redir at Winter Sonata shouldn't be deleted--redirs aren't just about article links, but also links from the rest of the Web, and Go box searches. Niteowlneils 15:38, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Question of consistency. There was a serie of movie/drama entries with more or less common names ( like Hotelier for instance.) So I started to fix some, and realised it should be all. If its clear there is no need to delete an orphaned redirect, I suggest this vfd to be over. Thanks for Redirects for deletion link. Gtabary 16:09, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * From Naming conventions (precision): "The basic rule is that, unless you are absolutely sure that a related usage deserves or has an article, no disambigutation is necessary." The fact that Hotelier is now a red link seems undesirable to me. Until other articles get written, I think Hotelier (drama) should be there. Or, at a minimum, Hotelier should be a redir or disamb page. People typing "hotelier" in the Go box will probably only find Hotelier (drama) when real-time search is working. The first cut of an article for the only other usage of "Hotelier" that I am aware of would very likely be put on VfD as a 'dic def' (tho' it might survive if voters proved it could expand into something encyclopedic), and, according to Disambiguation, "It is acceptable to provide short descriptions within the disambiguation page for subjects which at present do not have their own articles (see below), but this should never be done for a subject where an actual article about it would immediately end up on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion." In general, I prefer a K.I.S.S. approach, like Blood Brothers and The Blood Brothers, instead of Blood Brothers (musical) and The Blood Brothers (band). Niteowlneils 16:57, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * PS There's only two articles looking for "hotelier" as a dic def--other uses of "Hotelier" in articles link to Hotel. Niteowlneils 17:10, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Dictionary definitions should be searched and found in dictionaries, not wikipedia, User:Chan Han Xiang. Furthermore, just putting up Hotelier will do.

 * Hmm you seem to have missed Friends (comedy). If there are redlinks where those pages used to be (e.g. Hotelier), please replace the redlinks with redirects or disambiguation pages. Kappa 16:31, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I indeed already updated links to Winter Sonata and Hotelier and everywhere to make it consistent. Gtabary 16:40, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Oops, I'm responsible for the move and delete of hotelier. Didn't know it was being discussed here. Anyway, I'd like to see a description of the profession on that page with a link to the drama. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 19:22, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * As mentioned above, a description of the profession is likely to be VfD'd as a dictdef. Kappa 00:19, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete it instead. Wyss 21:46, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete this Winter Sonata as redirect and restore original content from Winter Sonata (drama) and delete there after that. No other articles or topics have the same name but different topic as the Winter Sonata drama. No need to add the (drama) suffix. Eg of a drama without a suffix: Spin City. No need (drama)/(movie) suffix at all, as there is no disambiguation. User:Chan Han Xiang
 * supporting this, I couldn't google up anything else even vaguely notable called 'winter sonata'. Kappa 07:30, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Winter Sonata is a very popular Korean drama that razed Japan. Actor Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo gained international fame because of its lavish content in this drama. User:Chan Han Xiang

 * Well, that was simple enough; nuked one, moved the other. They were identical, so it was obviously a copy-paste move. This was never a candidate for VfD, at worst it was an RfD. Let's get back to work now, shall we? --Golbez 11:24, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)

Note that now all the articles Gtabary did this to, seem to have copies at both locations, using cut&paste moves and some now have lengthy histories at _both_ locations now--see Summer Scent and Summer Scent (drama). A) This is one of the reasons why disambiguating when not necessary is a REALLY BAD IDEA, and B) Someone now needs to merge them all back. Niteowlneils 02:10, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * PS Hopefully this is a complete list of articles with seriously messed up histories due to the same combination of mistakes (unnecessary disamb followed by c&p revert): Everybody Has Secrets/Everybody Has Secrets (movie), All In/All In (drama),Untold Scandal/Untold Scandal (movie), Summer Scent/Summer Scent (drama), and True To Love/True To Love (drama). Niteowlneils 02:46, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion or on the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Roy Clarke

Royston Clarke (born 28 January 1930) is an English comedy writer best known for creating the sitcoms Last of the Summer Wine, Keeping Up Appearances, Open All Hours and its sequel series, Still Open All Hours.

Early life
Clarke was born in Austerfield, then in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was, in the words of his Who's Who entry, educated "badly during World War II". His jobs before becoming a writer included a teacher, a policeman, a taxi driver and a salesman, in addition to being a soldier in the Royal Corps of Signals of the British Army.

Career
In the late 1960s, Clarke wrote thrillers for BBC Radio. The first in January 1968, The 17-Jewelled Shockproof Swiss-Made Bomb, featured Peter Coke, Ben Kingsley, Bob Grant and Anne Stallybrass. A couple of months later, Clarke wrote The Events at Black Tor, which was a police thriller which also featured Bob Grant, along with James Beck.

Clarke was the sole writer of the long-running Last of the Summer Wine, which at its peak had an audience of over 18 million viewers. It featured Bill Owen, Peter Sallis, Brian Wilde, Kathy Staff and Dame Thora Hird in leading roles. While Clarke was not involved in casting, he wrote the character named Clegg with Sallis specifically in mind. Clarke also wrote a prequel to the series, First of the Summer Wine.

Other credits are: The Misfit, starring Ronald Fraser; Open All Hours, starring Ronnie Barker and David Jason; Keeping Up Appearances, starring Patricia Routledge; Ain't Misbehavin'. He created and wrote the short-lived fantasy drama, 'The Wanderer' starring Bryan Brown, for Sky One. In 1974, he created the sitcom Oh No It's Selwyn Froggitt from an idea by its star Bill Maynard. He wrote the pilot episode, but left to be replaced by Alan Plater when the programme went to series. Rosie with Paul Greenwood was broadcast from 1977 to 1981.

Clarke has worked in film, penning the screenplay to Hawks (1988). He also wrote the well-received drama A Foreign Field (1993).

In 1994, Clarke was granted the Freedom of the Borough of Doncaster; the highest honour the Council can bestow. In 2002, he received an OBE for his contribution to British comedy.

In 2003, Clarke adapted his Last of the Summer Wine chronicle The Moonbather for a world premiere performance at the Scunthorpe Little Theatre Club.

He was awarded the lifetime achievement award at the 2010 British Comedy Awards.

In 2013, he resurrected Open All Hours for a sequel series, Still Open All Hours starring David Jason. Six series were broadcast.

In 2016, he created a prequel to Keeping Up Appearances titled Young Hyacinth. The one-off episode premiered on 2 September 2016 on BBC One.

Personal life
Clarke resided in rural Goole in the East Riding of Yorkshire with his wife, Enid Kitching. For some years he owned Horton Rounds in Northamptonshire, a Grade II listed house designed by the Northamptonshire architect Arthur A. J. Marshman.

Isabel

Isabel is a female name of Spanish origin. Isabelle is a name that is similar, but it is of French origin. It originates as the medieval Spanish form of Elisabeth (ultimately Hebrew Elisheba). Arising in the 12th century, it became popular in England in the 13th century following the marriage of Isabella of Angoulême to the king of England. Today it is sometimes abbreviated to Isa.

Etymology
This set of names is a Spanish variant of the Hebrew name Elisheba through Latin and Greek represented in English and other European languages as Elisabeth. These names are derived from the Latin and Greek renderings of the Hebrew name based on both etymological and contextual evidence (the use of Isabel as a translation of the name of the mother of John the Baptist). The variant form originated through the loss of the first syllable through rebracketing and the replacement of final with  (as  does not appear word-finally in standard Spanish). Elisabeth was understood in Spain as a name with the masculine definite article el "the", that is to say *El Isabeth, from it, the short form *Isabeth where the final -el was substituted to -eth, both for aesthetical reasons or feminization, or the entire syllable -bel was substituted to -beth, by analogy with bella "pretty, beautiful".

Seguin

Seguin or Séguín is a French and Gascon name. It may be a Frankish name, from Germanic origin (sig-, that is, "victory", cf. modern German sieg, and -win, that is, "friend", related to modern English "win"). Seghin, Sigiwinus, Siguvinus, Siguinus, Siguin, Sigiwin, Sigwin, Sigoin and Segouin are alternate variants. According to Jean de Jaurgain quoting primary source Saint Andrew of Bordeaux, the original Vascon name written in Latin was Sihiminum, related to Basque Seme(no), meaning 'son' (cf. ancient Aquitanian Basque "seni" meaning 'boy' > modern "sehi"). It is also spelled Scimin, Skimin, Scemenus, Semen, Semeno, Xemen, or Ximen and gave rise to the Castilian Ximeno and Jimeno. Both Semen and Seguin, unrelated names, are found in sources.

Salty liquorice

Salty liquorice, salmiak liquorice or salmiac liquorice, is a variety of liquorice flavoured with salmiak salt (sal ammoniac; ammonium chloride), and is a common confection found in the Nordic countries, Benelux, and northern Germany. Salmiak salt gives salty liquorice an astringent, salty taste, akin to that of tannins—a characteristic of red wines, which adds bitterness and astringency to the flavour. Consuming salmiak liquorice can stimulate either a savoury or non-savoury palate and response. Anise oil can also be an additional main ingredient in salty liquorice. Extra-salty liquorice is additionally coated with salmiak salt or salmiak powder, or sometimes table salt.

Salty liquorice candy and pastilles are almost always black or very dark brown and can range from soft candy to hard pastille variety, and sometimes hard brittle. The other colours used are white and variants of grey. Salty liquorice or salmiak is also used as a flavouring in other products, such as ice creams, syrups, chewing gum, snus and alcoholic beverages.

History
Sal ammoniac (ammonium chloride) has a history of being used as a cough medicine, as it works as an expectorant. Finnish author Jukka Annala speculates that salty liquorice has its origins in pharmacy stores that manufactured their own cough medicine. Where and when ammonium chloride and liquorice were first combined to produce salty liquorice is unclear, but by the 1930s it was produced in Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands as a pastille.

Types
Different languages often refer to salty liquorice as either "salmiak liquorice" (Swedish: Salmiaklakrits; Danish: Salmiaklakrids), or simply "salt liquorice" (Swedish: Saltlakrits; Danish: Saltlakrids). The Dutch refer to it as "zoute drop" or "dubbelzoute drop" (double salted liquorice). In Germany, they are commonly known as salt liquorice (Salzlakritz) candy and salmiak pastilles (Salmiakpastillen) or simply Salmiak, in contrast to sweet liquorice (Süßlakritz) candy. A traditional shape for salty liquorice pastilles is a black diamond-shaped lozenge. In Finnish, it is known as salmiakki.

The strength of the confectionery depends on the amount of food grade ammonium chloride (salmiak salt) used, which varies by country and what's considered a safe amount. In Sweden, for example, the most popular types of salty liquorice contain an average of 7% of ammonium chloride. In 2012, there was a European Union proposal to limit the amount to 0.3%, which was met with wide opposition. Although the European Union now regulates the use of ammonium chloride to 0.3% in most foodstuffs, there is no specific restriction for it in liquorice or ice cream. At a level of up to 7.99% ammonium chloride, salmiak pastilles are considered a "traditionally-applied medicine to assist expectoration in the airways".

An antibacterial effect can be attributed to the neutralization of the slightly acidic ammonium chloride (pH about 5.5) by the relatively alkaline saliva (pH about 7), whereby ammonia is released, which has a disinfecting effect:
 * $$\mathrm{NH_4^+ + OH^- \longrightarrow NH_3 + H_2O}$$
 * Reaction of (ammonium)-ions in base solution to ammonia and water.

Germany and European Union
Before implementation of the current European Union community-wide list of permitted flavouring substances used in food, national food legislation in Germany required that a content from above 2% ammonium chloride (salmiak salt) in salty liquorice, was required to carry the label "Adult Liquorice - Not Children's Liquorice" (Erwachsenenlakritz - Kein Kinderlakritz) on packaging in Germany. When the ingredient content of ammonium chloride (salmiak salt) was between 4.49% and 7.99%, the declaration "extra strong" (extra stark) was also required on packaging. More than 7.99% of ammonium chloride (salmiak salt) was not permitted in Germany at that point in time. Since then, the upper limit on ammonium chloride has been lifted.

Other uses
In addition to being used in candy, salmiak is also used to flavour vodka, chocolate, distilled rye brandy, ice cream, cola drinks, snus, and meat.

Talk:Country house (dwelling)

Rednex
Note: Rednex are linked on WikiPedia as having started the Country House music fad.

Pcpcpc
Well Pcpcpc, I admire your courage - that is a very impressive list of headings, would it not be better to first fill some in with something - anything? However, If there is a comprehensive study under each of these headings we are going to have a book not an article.

For example: The European country house cannot be simply slotted in as the final heading, the subject is larger than all the rest put together, and far more complex. If this page is going to work then it has to be carved up, it is just too large a subject. This is the first time I have ever argued for a smaller article on wikipia.

The weekend - The subject is a minefield, are you going, with architecture, or the people who lived there (upstairs and down), or the goings on (disreputable and political often both) in country houses, that's England alone.

Old and new money has nothing to do with country houses, merely the people who occupied and built them, to categorise architecture according to origin of owner's wealth is pointless, as most houses are built by 'new money' from Montacute House to Villa Farnese. If this article is to stand, as you plan it, a snowball in hell's chance of working, it has to be severely confined and restricted to one country. That's my opinion - over to you. Giano 15:24, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I am supposed to edit your post if I want to respond to it, but I can't see any other way of doing so.

''I certainly don't intend to write a book; I will make liberal use of links, eg to architectural styles and specific houses. But where else than in the article about the British Country House would you find out, for example, which are the principal British country houses in say the baroque style? That's the sort of information I intend to provide.''

The paragraph on the European country house will be no more than a few remarks on the differences between Britain and European houses and aristocratic lifestyles, liberally peppered with appropriate links if I can find some.

''It isn't the case that "most" country houses were always built by new money: there is a graph in one of the books on my shelves which shows the trends. The distinction between the construction of houses by old money and new money is one of the main topics in any book on the 19th century country house. In this context old money means established landed families and new money means industrialists. This was the period when newly wealthy Britons ceased to invest the whole of their fortune in landed property as they had traditionally done, and the connection between the country house and the agricultural estate began to loosen. This is substantively different from earlier periods when new families climbed to the top of the same old aristocratic hierarchy, such as in Tudor England.''

''I intend to cover a little social history as well as architectural history, hence the "Country House Weekend" title. The weekend visit was a sign of the changing and diminishing role of the country house in the early Twentieth century. I'm not going to overdo it though.''  I should have time to fill in a few sections tomorrow.

 * Yes you are supposed to reply to me here that way it keeps everything all together; firstly if you are going to write about British country houses then the page needs to be moved to a title to reflect that, you must remember tha a large percentage of editors are from USA and would expect to see reference to some of their's, colonial architecture etc.

'':::Your original article was solely about the British country house. I'll think about changing the title and doing a redirect, but I'm not sure yet.''

 * The new money in Victorian times merely built using newer and more modern techniques, and the new country houses did usually have a large estate, there may be a few exceptions but this was rare. To be accepted by their neighbours the estate and hunting was essential the Rothschild houses of Buckinghamshire spring to mind, but don't forget the old aristocracy were also building new houses in the same vein at the same time. The Duke of Bedford, and many Scottish 'castles'. I don't think the smaller often gothic piles which litter Surrey, and the outer suberbs of London, Glasgow, Birmongham and Edinburgh  without estates can really be classed as country houses, indeed one could even argue that a house without an estate is not a country house.

'':::Use of "different techniques" is hardly a key point. The role of land did diminish from earlier absolute primacy during the Nineteenth century, and indeed this process continues today. I will try to make it clear that the change was not sudden. I know all about the Dukes of Bedford as Woburn was my local stately home when I was a boy. I am also aware of the difference between a country house and a house in the stockbroker belt.''

 * I am not against this re-write, but playing Devil's advocate, there's quite a bit on various country houses and their architects now on this site, I'll put some links in to save you the time of finding them. If you are new to this site, and want some technical help, leave a message on my talk page. Good luck Giano 07:55, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I've added a few links, there are hundreds more, when I can think of them Giano 08:17, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm trying to find out what a "Prodigy House" is and arrived at this article because it seems to contain the only reference in the Wikipedia. Would it be possible to give an explanation?

Merge from Estate (house)
I definitely support this merge proposal, and I think that Estate (land) should also be merged in here, until such time as someone has the time to write more than a dictionary definition of an estate. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 15:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I say we merge Estate (land) and Estate (house) into Country House. I think we then add a link from the Estate disambiguous page to Country House indicating that meaning of the word estate. Then when we disambiguate the page estate many of the meanings of it would point to country house - at the moment it is a bit of a lottery which meaning of estate to use! Pixie2000 22:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

This article is largely concerned with the country house in Britain. There needs to be more about the rest of Europe, or links to other articles about, for instance, the French chateau or Ialian villa. pmalo 9 December 2006

Wikipedia rules regarding titles
Wikipedia rules say that if there is a song or film named Country House, the article of that song should be called Country House, not "Country House (song)" or anything like that. Therefore, the redirect, ecentually I hope the whole article will migrate here.--Wormsie 19:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Blatant self-promotion by DiCamillo
There have been a series of extremely obvious attempts to promote the website and activities of Curt DiCamillo in this article by the user/users Curt1776; 71.233.248.2; and 216.41.116.162. This is in contravention of a number of wiki policies including WP:NPOV and WP:SOCK. Elsewhere, these users seem to be ignoring WP:BLP. If these policies continue to be ignored these users may be blocked or banned. Flozu 11:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * User 216.41.116.162 is ignoring the warning. Probably not a good idea. Flozu 07:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * He's done it another couple of times. Looks like a case for blocking.  Chelseaboy 18:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Many apologies for what has apparently become a bit of an issue! A number of supportive friends, in addition to me, have posted these promotions for my site, clearly misunderstanding they violated Wikipedia policies. We thought some mischievous person was removing the posts; it wasn't until I started poking around in Wikipedia today to try to better understand what was going on (I wasn't aware of the discussion pages, for instance) that I became aware that this was inappropriate. I have thus removed the offending text and can assure you it will not appear again. -Curt DiCamillo, June 9, 2007.

Merge proposal Buitenplaats
I propose to merge the article Buitenplaats here. This is merely the Dutch term for Country House. Any unique and specific info related to Dutch country houses can be incorporated in a separate section. There is no point in foreign word entries in WP. Its meaningless to a non-Dutch-speaking person because the word buitenplaats is not used at all in English and will never be a loanword. -- P199 17:09, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This is one way you could see it, but I believe there are substantial enough differences between Country houses in the UK and in general with the Dutch Buitenplaatsen to have a seperate article. The Buitenplaats is directly connected with the Dutch Golden Age. I can't help either that English doesn't have a suitable specific translation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)
 * Something need to be done because we already have this page English country house which seems more complete than the page here - perhaps this one could be deleted or made into a disambig for similar house and their names arownd the world. Giano 11:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * OK - I have been bold and moved this long unfinished page to English country house, there seems no information here that was not there. Giano 11:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

DAB Page
I made this a dab page, since not all country houses are English, and a redirect to a narrower topic is therefore not the most appropriate. Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 10:41, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * And after reviewing the dab links (over 600 exclusively for English Country House, AFAICS), I've reverted that change. -- Ja Ga  talk 23:25, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh well it was worth a try. Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 16:19, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Only in Britain?
It doesn't seem reasonable to me to define "country house" as something that exists only in the UK and Ireland. Even within the Anglophone world there are plenty of rural estates called by that name--in my home state of Massachusetts in the USA, for example, we have such estates as The Mount, the Lyman Estate, and the Gore Place, all of which are described as country houses in their respective Wikipedia articles. And it doesn't seem unreasonable to me to use the English-language term "country house" as a catchall term for genteel/aristocratic mansions in the countryside, whatever country they're in--i.e., it would seem like the most reasonable English term to use to describe the category to which Italian villas, French chateaux, and German Schlösser belong. If "country house" isn't the right general term for such structures, what is? 206.208.105.129 (talk) 13:17, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

The story is told by a criminologist (Gray), reading from a large book entitled The Denton Affair. From time to time the film cuts back to the criminlogist, who offers commentary on the events of the film as they unfold.

The story begins with a straitlaced couple, Brad Majors (Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Sarandon), musically pledging their engagement after attending at the wedding of their friends, Ralph and Betty (née Monroe) Hapschatt. They then decide to pay a visit to Dr. Everett Scott (Adams), their academic mentor and the man who introduced them to each other.

While driving to Dr. Scott's residence, they get a flat tire. With the spare also flat, they must walk back to a remote castle in the woods in hopes of finding a telephone. At the castle, Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Curry), a gender-bending scientist from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania, is having the annual Transylvanian Convention, and celebrating the creation of his new strongman playmate, Rocky Horror (Hinwood). During the party, Frank-N-Furter's previous playmate, Eddie, escapes from the freezer in which he had been imprisoned, riding on a motorcycle. He performs a musical number, and is murdered shortly thereafter by Frank-N-Furter.

After the party, Brad and Janet are shown to separate rooms. Frank-N-Furter's domestic, Magenta (Quinn), and his butler, Riff-Raff (O'Brien), complain to Frank that they have become disillusioned with life on Earth, and ask when they will return home to the planet Transsexual. Frank dodges the question, telling Magenta that he is grateful to both her and her brother, Riff-Raff, for their service.

Later, Brad and Janet are each visited by Frank-N-Furter, disguised as Brad when visiting Janet, and vice versa. In each situation, Frank's true identity is revealed only after he has the other in a very compromising position, and both Brad and Janet decide to have sex with Frank anyway. While this is going on, Frank-N-Furter's domestic, Magenta (Quinn), and his butler, Riff-Raff (O'Brien), decide to torment Rocky, who is sleeping, chained to the bed in the "somber bridal suite" attached to the lab. Rocky breaks his chains and escapes, running through the castle grounds, and eventually coming back to the tank in which he was born and hiding under the red satin sheet that covered the tank before he was born. Riff calls Frank to tell him that Rocky has escaped, and Magenta releases the castle's hounds to bring him back.

After having sex with Frank, Janet suffers an attack of remorse. She returns to the room in which the party was held, looking for Brad. On the nearby television monitor, she sees Brad in bed with Frank, smoking a cigarette. Heartbroken, she shuts off the monitor, and hears pitiful moans coming from the tank in which Rocky is hiding. She finds Rocky, who had been hurt by the hounds, and binds his wounds with her slip. Rocky is attracted to Janet, and Janet decides to have sex with Rocky as well. This is the basis for another musical number.

Frank, Brad, and Riff return to the laboratory. Frank is beating Riff for letting Rocky escape when an alarm sounds. There is an intruder on the castle grounds: Dr. Scott. Brad recognizes Dr. Scott, and Frank accuses Brad of having come to his castle "on a purpose." It seems that Dr. Scott is attached to the governmental organization in charge of investigating |UFOs, and as Frank is (unbeknownst to Brad and Janet) an alien, he is understandably suspicious. Frank activates a device that brings Dr. Scott, who is in a wheelchair, through the house and crashing through the wall of the lab. It is revealed that Dr. Scott came to the castle in search of Eddie. Janet, hiding under the sheet with Rocky, throughout all this, gasps. Frank pulls back the sheet to reveal Rocky and Janet, prompting this famous exchange:

DR. SCOTT: Janet! JANET: Dr. Scott! BRAD: Janet! JANET: Brad! FRANK: Rocky! ROCKY: (silence)

DR. SCOTT: Janet! JANET: Dr. Scott! BRAD: Janet! JANET: Brad! FRANK: Rocky! ROCKY: (silence)

After this, Magenta enters the lab, sounds a gong, and announces that dinner is prepared. Frank says that under the circumstances, formal dress is to be optional.

At dinner, Dr. Scott reveals that Eddie was his nephew. Shortly thereafter, Frank pulls the tablecloth off the dinner table, revealing the mangled carcass of Eddie, who had been the main course. Columbia (Campbell), Frank's groupie, who had been Eddie's girlfriend, runs to her bedroom crying. In yet another musical number, Dr. Scott tells how Eddie was "a low down cheap little punk," but had written a letter asking Dr. Scott to come to Eddie's aid.

Ludvig Nobel

Ludvig Immanuel Nobel (Лю́двиг Эммануи́лович Нобе́ль; Ludvig Emmanuel Nobel ; 27 July 1831 – 12 April 1888) was a Swedish-Russian engineer, a noted businessman and a humanitarian. One of the most prominent members of the Nobel family, he was the son of Immanuel Nobel (also an engineering pioneer) and Andriette Nobel, and the older brother of Alfred Nobel (founder of the Nobel Prize). With his brother Robert, he operated Branobel, an oil company in Baku (now in Azerbaijan) which at one point produced 50% of the world's oil.

He is credited with creating the Russian oil industry. Ludvig Nobel built the largest fortune of any of the Nobel brothers and was one of the world's richest men. Following the Bolshevik revolution, the communists confiscated the Nobel family's vast fortune in Russia.

Early history
Nobel was born in Stockholm. At 28 years old, he was given by his father's creditors the technical management of the family business, Fonderies et Ateliers Mécaniques Nobel Fils, a factory making war supplies such as mines and steam engines. The company had been facing financial difficulties since the end of the Crimean War in 1856 due to a severe cut in the military budget ordered by the new Tsar Alexander II, and eventually, in 1862, Immanuel's firm was sold by his creditors.

With some funds he had managed to save, Ludvig opened a new firm, the Machine-Building Factory Ludvig Nobel. Initially producing chilled cast-iron shells, the factory became in a few years one of the largest producers of gun carriages of Russia.

Early success in Russia
While running the factory in St. Petersburg, Ludvig obtained a large contract to manufacture rifles for the Russian government and he needed wood for the rifle stocks. He sent his oldest brother, Robert Nobel in 1873 to procure Russian walnut wood in the Caucasus region of southern Russia. Without consulting his brother, Robert spent the 25,000 rubbles that Ludvig entrusted to him for buying wood – "walnut money" – and instead bought a small refinery in Baku. Ludvig sent additional funds to Robert to invest in modernisation and refinery efficiency. By 1876, the Nobel brothers established themselves as the most competent refiner in Baku and sent the first shipment of illuminating oil to St. Petersburg. By 1879, Ludvig turned the initial business into a shareholding company, Branobel, of which he was the major shareholder and had as partners his brothers Robert and Alfred Nobel.

Inventions
Ludvig Nobel invented oil tankers, and better refineries, pipelines. Before 1880 the United States was Russia's teacher in most aspects of the oil business. The roles were reversed in some respects by Nobel. The oil business lacked technical know-how and scientific methodology. To rectify this, Nobel established technical chemical research labs in Baku. These research centers were very active and when something of commercial interest was found, Nobel was fast in trying the new products out on a large scale. Dozens of scientists were employed, finding ways to treat oil, developing new uses for oil, and developing products derived from oil.

Nobel first experimented with carrying oil in bulk on single-hulled barges. Turning his attention to self-propelled tankships, a primary concern was to keep the cargo and fumes well away from the engine room to avoid fires. Other challenges included allowing for the cargo to expand and contract due to temperature changes, and providing a method to ventilate the tanks. The world's first successful oil tanker was Nobel's Zoroaster. He designed this in Lindholmen-Motala in Sweden with Sven Alexander Almqvist. Together they solved the issue of putting oil in the bulk of a ship without it getting unstable, through putting the oil in tanks The contract to build it was signed January 1878, and it made its first run later that year from Baku to Astrakhan. The design was widely studied and copied, with Nobel refusing to patent any part of it. In October 1878, he ordered two more tankers of the same design: the Buddha and the Nordenskjöld. The first tank steamer of the United States was built after drawings and calculations of Nobel after his 1888 death in Cannes.

Humanitarian efforts
Nobel was a strong humanitarian as well as a businessman, full of ideas and visions. He introduced profit sharing and worked actively to improve working conditions in his factories. His humanity and social approach was unique for the time. In 1885 he started a cooperative bank, sparkasse, for the workers. In Baku, social areas were built for the workers like dining rooms, billiard rooms, libraries and conference rooms where speeches and discussions were held. Near his estate, Villa Petrolea, several houses for the workers were built and a shuttle boat was offered between the city and the harbour. The company donated funds to schools and ran a hospital. Ludvig and Robert created a large park, still existent, in the "Black City" section of Baku near Villa Petrolea.

Talk:HNLMS De Ruyter (1935)

Redirects
The link to the list of ships of this name seems to send me back to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PaulinSaudi (talk • contribs) 10:30, 22 December 2004

Question
This passage:

"However, due to the cost-cutting policy that went into her design, De Ruyter was not quite up to her task. Her main battery (7 × 150 mm guns) was underpowered in comparison to other light cruisers of the time (for example the British Leander class), and the class had inadequate armour as well and lacked long range anti-aircraft guns. However, her fire control system was excellent."

This seems unnecessarily belittling. She has one main gun less than a Leander which is a thousand tons heavier and one main gun more than an Arethusa which is a thousand tons lighter. Both classes receive glowing articles on this wiki. She can't be called undergunned.

What did ASC invent?
ASC invended the glass-panel "moonroof", both inward- and outward-folding soft convertible tops, and modern retractable hardtops. If this is supposed to be invented, I nonetheless still find it hard to believe—wasn't this company founded in 1965? Surely there is evidence of older moonroofs, and it's obvious that convertible tops are older. --Milkmandan 15:30, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)

 * ASC claims to have invented these things on their web site. I'd be happy to see it proved wrong, though. --SFoskett 17:00, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)

 * ASC did not invent the convertible, but DID invent and patent the inward-folding convertible top. This is a technique for packaging a top more efficiently, allowing convertibles to be used across a wider spectrum of vehicles.  I think you'll find that, although solid panel sunroofs predated ASC, their invention of the movable glass panel (commonly referred to as the "moonroof") was a much more desirable option and resulted in overwhelming consumer demand.CarNut 19:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Pathway to Glory

Pathway to Glory is a tactical turn-based game for the Nokia N-Gage, by Nokia and Ubisoft RedLynx, released in late 2004.

Story
In the summer of 1943, special forces are urgently needed in the struggle for Europe. The player commands a multinational unit of highly trained men and accomplishes action-packed, historical missions by defending, ambushing, destroying and attacking.

Pathway to Glory can be played in single-player and multiplayer mode, using either hotseat, N-Gage Arena or a local Bluetooth connection.

Reception
The game received 83/100 reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Gamespot nominated Pathway to Glory as the Best of E3 2004, the best N-Gage Game: "Pathway to Glory is our N-Gage Best of E3 pick because it offers a cohesive, refined, and original take on the strategy genre. The fact that Nokia appears to be pulling it off on a developing, port-laden platform makes the achievement all the more impressive."

Sequel
A sequel for Pathway to Glory was announced during E3 2005, titled Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands. It was released in 2005.
