Peter de Klerk

Peter David de Klerk (16 March 1935 – 11 July 2015) was a racing driver from South Africa. He participated in four Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 28 December 1963. He scored no championship points.

Alfa Special
In 1962, de Klerk created a custom-made, single-seater racing special built for the South African Formula One Championship, powered by an Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.5-litre straight-4 engine, which was christened as the "Alfa Special". The Special participated in two World Championship Grands Prix, retiring at the 1963 South African Grand Prix and finishing 10th at the 1965 South African Grand Prix. It also entered five non-championship Grands Prix, scoring a podium finish at the 1963 Rand Grand Prix.

Tip O'Neill Award

The Tip O'Neill Award is given annually to a Canadian baseball player who is "judged to have excelled in individual achievement and team contribution while adhering to the highest ideals of the game of baseball." The award was created by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and first presented in 1984. It is named after James "Tip" O'Neill, one of the earliest Canadian stars in Major League Baseball (MLB).

Larry Walker, Jason Bay, Joey Votto, and Justin Morneau are the only players to win the Tip O'Neill Award at least three times. Walker won the award nine times, and Votto has won it seven times. Six winners – Walker, Bay, Terry Puhl, Rob Ducey, Ryan Dempster, and Corey Koskie – are members of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. The award has been presented to one amateur player, Daniel Brabant. Walker, Votto, and Justin Morneau won the MLB Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award alongside the Tip O'Neill Award; the trio are the only Canadians to win the MLB MVP Award. Éric Gagné, the 2002 and 2003 recipient, compiled a major league record of 84 consecutive save opportunities converted from 2002 to 2004 and won the Cy Young Award in 2003. He and John Axford went on to win the Rolaids Relief Man Award in the same year as the Tip O'Neill Award. Bay became the first Canadian to win the Rookie of the Year Award, which he won the same year he won his first Tip O'Neill Award. Votto is the only award winner to also win the Hank Aaron Award.

Initially, the award was presented annually at either Rogers Centre in Toronto or Olympic Stadium in Montreal, depending on which venue the award winner's team was scheduled to play at during the MLB season. However, as the Montreal Expos moved to Washington, D.C., and the Toronto Blue Jays do not host all the National League teams on an annual basis, the award has also been presented at the home park of the winning player.

Josh Naylor of the Cleveland Guardians is the latest recipient (2023) of the award.

Hello. You don't appear to have bothered to pay attention to the upload page when you added your images, as it seems that most of them are violations of somebody else's copyright. Please detail the source of each of them on their image description pages, and give them an image copyright tag. If they are copyvios, please report them as such or you'll be creating a lot of unnecessary work for people. Cheers. — Trilobite (Talk) 04:20, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Klingon-d.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Klingon-d.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This is an automated message from BJBot 03:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Teesdale School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — Timotab Timothy (not Timdagnabbit!) 20:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bristol City Council Elections, 2009
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Bristol City Council Elections, 2009, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process  because of the following concern:
 * Not enough information to be useful, about something in the future and I don't think we normally list council elections anyway

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

personal attack / "going to hell"
Hi JK the unwise -- The comment made by User:75.43.136.189 and signed by "Elijah" on the CO talk page was a personal attack, and I posted the first NPA warning on that IP address' talk page. Given the substance of the commentary and attacks on "neutrality" I suspect that User:70.253.165.71 and User:75.43.136.189 are the same person. The only non-CO contributions made by the 75.* IP address were made on the 70.* IP address when that person was being banned for disruptive editing. --LQ 19:30, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:3rd ESF london.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:3rd ESF london.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 03:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of the Climaction page
Hi JK the hopefully wise

One of my pages was deleted on contested grounds, documenting the Climaction coalition against climate change in New Zealand. www.climaction.org.nz

How do we go about restoring it? There are entries for other eco groups too- Greenpeace, Earth First, Campaign against Cliamte Change. Have I been the victim of Climate Change denial censorship? Who can I appeal the deltion to?

Ruanua 08:23, 25 April 2007 (UTC) Hi JK

you said: ''So the question is 'how notable is Climaction?'; Greenpeace, Earth First, Campaign against Cliamte Change have all been written about by mainstreem sources. Has it gained coverage in national press? Has it been written about in any mainstream political journals? Was it set up by/does it involve an activist/activists who are notable (and might have wikipedia pages allready)? Is it linked to/the sister organisation of any notable international group? etc.

If you think that you can demonstrate this level of notability then you can get a Deletion review, please read more info on that page.''

Climaction was subject of a TVNZ 15 minute documentary when Al Gore came to New Zealand, and have had extensive coverage in the mainstream press and radio networks here, most notably for our work in organising the protest for the International Day of Action on Climate Change on Nov 4th 2006, and the Carmaggedon protest for Free and Frequent Public Transport on March 3rd 2007.

It has been written about in political journals with mass publication such as the Workers' Charter newspaper, the Unity journal (NZ's premier Marxist publication) etc. It involves many notable NZ activists and individuals from groups such as Socialist Worker, Radical Youth and the Greens and has been supported by people such as Sue Bradford, Laila Harré, John Minto, Simon Oosterman, Matt McCarten, Christine Caughey, Grant Morgan and the Residents Action Movement who polled over 89,000 votes in the last city elections. It is connected nationally with the Climate Defence Network and works alongside GreenPeace New Zealand, and has sisterly contacts with international groups such as Rising Tide and the UK based Campaign against Climate Change.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Undeath (talk) 01:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Socialist Worker Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Socialist Worker Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

File permission problem with File:Cairo antiwar conference speeker.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Cairo antiwar conference speeker.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 20:16, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

User talk:Outlanderssc

In regard to your assertion that the page isaac binkovitz meets criteria for speedy deletion, i would like to point out that this article is twice as long as the one that was previously posted, contains corrections of major factual errors, and is overall a completely different article. it seems unfair that you have marked it for speedy deletion so, well, speedily, that there is not yet even a talk page for it, therefore no way to post objections to its consideration for speedy deletion.

 * There was more wordage, but not more content. He is still as unnoteworthy as he was when the page was originally deleted. It was also clear that the author spelled the name differently to avoid the bots picking up the new article, something that clearly implies some sort of premeditation.

 * And also, please sign your notes so I can reply on your talk page''.

His name was spelled differently because it was misspelled before. I accept the judgement that he's not noteworthy enough and fair, but please don't imply that he or I intentionally abused posting power, because the reposting was 1. an honest attempt to rectify some factual errors and include more relevant content, and 2. not in any way associated with the first article inasmuch as the original poster and I had no communication on the subject prior to the reposting. The article was re-written from scratch with different content by a different person than the first with no premeditation.

 * Too bad you did so much work for a non-notable bio -

Thanks for adding the template to the Brother-in-law page. You might want to make a user page, too.-- Anti-Anonymex2 Come to my page! I've gone caliente loco! 20:43, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Using lowercase
I would like to notice that before you created the French Curve article, we already had the French curve article. So, I would suggest that in the future you do not use capitals in article titles except for the first letter and other cases requred by grammar (like names, which are obviously capital). Thank you for your addition. Oleg Alexandrov 22:28, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

If you look, you will find that I did not write the article French Curve, I merely removed the reference to its use in Computer drafting, which was innacurate. If you feel it needs additional editing, feel free to do so. --Outlander 11:54, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

milky seas article
Thanks for the entry regarding our milky seas study.

I wanted to make a clarification, but didn't feel right editing the page about my own work.

It's not really correct that "no in-field observation of the phenomenon has been made, so the assertion of bioluminescence is conjectural". One of the coolest aspects of the study, and what really nailed it down, was that a ship was transiting through the region and reported entering and leaving the glowing seas at the exact locations that the boundaries appeared on the satellite. You can see some more info on this page, including a link to the full PDF of the article with a plot of the ship track...

Wikiproject subproject notification (late, sorry)
Hi Outlanderssc. I'm contacting you because you are a member of WikiProject Sexology and sexuality. This project is inactive but exists. Anyway, I recently created a project WikiProject Pedophilia which by right ought to be subproject ot Sexology and sexuality. In fact, I was (properly) upbraided for creating this project without consulting the members of WikiProject Sexology and sexuality. (Sorry, I just plain forgot). Anyway, my questions and comments are:
 * Are you still an active member of WikiProject Sexology and sexuality?
 * Hi! As a member of the (logical) parent project, you are invited to view, contribute to, oversee, and/or join the subproject Wikiproject Pedophilia.
 * Be aware that we have had a difficult birth and are considered by some to be inherently controversial, and may have some future controversies due to the sensitive nature of the material in our purview, although I hope not.
 * In the normal course of things, I would join WikiProject Sexology and sexuality and edit it to include Wikiproject Pedophilia as a subproject. Do you have any objections or comments on that.
 * We are considering renaming WikiProject Pedophilia to Wikiproject Paraphilia, for various reasons. As a member of the parent project, do you have any thoughts on that?Herostratus 22:32, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:72Corvorado.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:72Corvorado.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Barbara_Nitke_web.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Barbara_Nitke_web.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 08:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of CHUDWAH. Accurizer (talk) 22:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Aramoana massacre
I just saw your comment claiming the Aramoana massacre was not significant enough to be included on Wikipedia. How arrogant and completely ignorant can you possibly be? Your comment was highly offensive and shows that you know little of what you were talking about. It was the worse mass murder in New Zealand history; thirteen people were killed, the NZSAS were put on standby and a George Medal and a George Cross were awarded, yet you don't think it warrants a Wikipedia page. You should go back on that page an apologise for you utter rudeness, ignorance and arrogance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.73.167.22 (talk) 09:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Your contributed article, A Defense of Masochism

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, A Defense of Masochism. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - A Defence of Masochism. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at A Defence of Masochism - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions.

Non-free rationale for File:SCARLETSPV.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:SCARLETSPV.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Dungeon Monitor page
I made some edits to this page today. Most were minor, but I removed one sentence my own experience as a DM tells me was quite erroneous. If you have concerns, I'd be happy to discuss them.

I noticed that this page is noted as needing citations. Surely the TES website has suitable articles for citations? If not, let me know and I'll try to dig up some other citation sources.

I'd also be interested in discussing some page deletions I've noticed with you. It seems to me that there are articles being removed that should be on Wikipedia.

Minor edit for clarity regarding image
Hi wanted to discuss a very minor change. I had did a minor editing on two images stating that this is the animal if it was feathered. An editor seems to have an issue with that. I just wanted to bring that up before reverting it seemed nobody else had an issue with me adding in that specific fact.Mcelite (talk) 17:10, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, unlike something like Tyrannosaurus, no scientists doubt all dromaeosaurs were feathered. So it is misleading to suggest it is somehow only a possibility. You wouldn't have a caption saying "this is Smilodon if it had fur" either. FunkMonk (talk) 17:46, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed with FonkMonk. That dromaeosaurs were feathered is so well established by fossil evidence and phylogenetic bracketing that positive evidence of lack of feathers in some genera would be necessary to consider it a "possibility" likely enough to be worth mentioning in an image caption. -Ferahgo the Assassin (talk) 18:42, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * All I want to say is that phylogenetic bracketing isn't perfect and that we don't know with 100 certainty that Deinonychus had feathering. Not arguing that members of its family did at all. I'm only saying we should be more precise in saying this is the animal feathered. I'm just being honest from a scientific standpoint we don't know with 100% accuracy God forbid we find fossilized scale impressions of Deinonychus.Mcelite (talk) 21:00, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * But again, regardless of the reason, all modern experts believe dromaeosaurs as a group had feathers (even those who don't believe birds descended from dinosaurs just claim dromaeosaurs aren't dinosaurs either). You'd have to demonstrate that there are still scientists who do not believe dromaeosaurs (or just Deinonychus) had feathers to add any claim of doubt to the article. And for the record, the discovery of Zhenyuanlong proved even large dromaeosaurs were fully feathered. FunkMonk (talk) 00:26, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I already knew about Zhenyuanlong but thank you for a good example. I honestly am just concerned I apologize if I seemed overly picky. Just wanted to make sure we weren't jumping on a band wagon when there is still some uncertainty.Mcelite (talk) 02:17, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, considering the constant back and forth over Tyrannosaurus feathering, I can understand why caution would be advised. But in this case, there doesn't seem to be any uncertainty. Even people like Alan Feduccia and Larry Martin, who don't consider birds descendants of dinosaurs, just consider dromaeosaurs as birds instead, while explaining their dinosaur features as due to convergent evolution; dromaeosaurs are simply so bird-like that their arguments don't hold up if they are considered dinosaurs. Ironically, given what we now know about the integument of small ornithischians, this restoration used in the article is probably inaccurate by not giving the Zephyrosaurus prey protofeathers. FunkMonk (talk) 02:25, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * We know very few things in science with 100% certainty, but for something like this that's represented uncontroversially in reliable sources, this is because the accumulation and convergence of evidence reflects a high probability of it being true. If we devoted a "but what if" parenthetical for everything like this, science articles would be twice as long and half as informative. -Ferahgo the Assassin (talk) 04:16, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Continuously deleting flight section
This is rather silly considering its pretty relevant if Deinonychus was capable of flight or not. Yet the aforementioned study gets a single line, while the bulk of its discussion - pretty extensive within it - is left out. Modern analogues are there for the sake of analogy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Falconfly (talk • contribs)
 * The paragraph is wholly irrelevant if you exclude the statement "adults would have been flightless because they had proportionally shorter arms" since that statement is not found in any sources and thus must be removed. Reverting more will hopefully result in a permanent edit ban. IJReid { {T - C - D - R} } 23:03, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * If you suggest analogues yourself, and make your own conclusions, it is WP:original research and WP:original synthesis, which is not allowed. FunkMonk (talk) 03:36, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

'Modern' reconstruction in Cultural Significance section - looks outdated?
The image in the Cultural Significance section features an 'outdated' scaly model and a 'modern' feathered model of Deinonychus. However, forgive me if I'm way off the mark here, but the feathered one looks almost as outdated as the scaly one to me?

The face looks shrink-wrapped (though it's slightly hard to tell), the feathers look 'glued on' to a scaly body rather than like the real plumage we know dromaeosaurids had, and certain unfounded palaeomemes are present like the mohawk and naked head.

I therefore question whether this image should be present here, particularly because the caption insinuates that this is an accurate modern reconstruction.

Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 13:10, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say something is incorrect just because it's a "meme". Plenty of modern birds have naked heads and "mohawks", even those closely related to some that don't. "Anti-shrinkwrapping" has itself become a meme; plenty of modern animals have demarcated orbits, for example. A close up of the model's head doesn't seem to show even the common sunken antorbital fenestra, though: FunkMonk (talk) 15:44, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Are you sure the image you've linked to depicts the exact same model? The colouration of the skin on the face appears different, with the article image's feathered model appearing to lack the dark markings visible in your image. To me it appears as though the outline of the antorbital fenestra is present in the feathered model in the article's picture; an outline very similar to the clearly visible fenestra in the scaly model. But yeah it is admittedly hard to make out. Though the palaeomemes I brought up aren't necessarily incorrect, they were typical in, say, early-mid 2000s dromaeosaurid reconstructions, which rings alarm bells that it's an older reconstruction. Additionally, my thoughts about the shaggy fur-like plumage remain. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 18:54, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

How to cite the author of Velociraptor antirrhopus and implications for all other articles
I see in the synonyms section that the author of Velociraptor antirrhopus is listed as Paul, 1988. But shouldn't the listed author be the author of the specific name, except in brackets? This is because the author of the specific name is bracketed when the generic name in the binomial is not that of the genus to which the author of the species originally assigned the species. You can see this logic applied on the Tyrannosaurus article, for example.

I've also noticed that some pages go another route. To illustrate, the Torosaurus page lists TWO different authors for the second (dubious) Torosaurus species, T. utahensis. It gives first the author of the specific name, in brackets (which I believe would be 100% correct), but then ALSO gives the author who assigned the species to that particular genus. While subjectively that would seem a sensible way to convey all the relevant information, I've found absolutely nothing to suggest that this is in any way acceptable according to the ICZN or anything.

Does anyone have clarity on this subject? This has massive implications for other articles, since articles currently seem to vary wildly in how authors are cited. Deinonychus, Tyrannosaurus and Torosaurus each demonstrate completely contradictory ways of citation so this needs remedying asap. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 20:27, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I've also noticed these types of issues in many other articles; the author of the specific name should be the one shown, say Tarbosaurus bataar for example, the author who created "bataar" is the one that should be shown, and obviously in brackets if there's a later combination with another generic name.

Alabama Theatre

The Alabama Theatre is a movie palace in Birmingham, Alabama. It was built in 1927 by Paramount's Publix Theatres chain as its flagship theater for the southeastern region of the United States. Seating 2,500 people at the time, it was the largest in the Birmingham theater district. The district was once home to many large theaters and movie palaces that featured vaudeville, performing arts, nickelodeons and Hollywood films. Built to show silent films, the Alabama still features its original Wurlitzer theater organ. The Alabama Theatre and Lyric Theatre are the district's only remaining theaters, and as of 2024, both are in operation. The Alabama and its historic organ were added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on February 15, 1977 and to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1979. The theater has been surveyed by the Historic American Buildings Survey on several occasions, most recently in 1996. It was designated as the state's historic theater in 1993.

History
Construction plans for the Alabama Theatre were announced in 1926, but groundbreaking was delayed until April 1, 1927. The grand opening was held as originally scheduled on December 26, 1927. Construction of the concrete-and-steel building cost approximately $1.5 million.

In 1934, the adjacent Loveman's of Alabama department store was destroyed by fire. However, a thick firewall protected the theater and limited the impact to some smoke damage around air vents in the auditorium. The smoke stains would remain until the 1998 theater restoration.

In its early days, the Alabama Theatre hosted weekly Saturday meetings of the local chapter of Mickey Mouse Club, which was formed in 1933. By 1935, the club had more than 7,000 members, making it the world's largest Mickey Mouse Club. Membership eventually peaked at more than 18,000 before the club closed nearly ten years after it had been formed.

The Alabama Theatre hosted the Miss Birmingham pageant from 1935 to 1948 and the Miss Alabama pageant from 1949 until 1966.

The decline of downtown Birmingham through the 1960s and 1970s saw the closing of most of the downtown's movie theatres. In 1981, Plitt Theatres closed the Alabama and sold it to Cobb Theaters of Birmingham. Cobb unsuccessfully attempted to reopen the Alabama several times and eventually sold it to Costa and Head, developers working to revitalize the downtown area. Costa and Head initiated a series of classic films at the Alabama with some success, but ultimately filed for bankruptcy in 1986.

The Alabama chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society (ATOS) began maintaining the Alabama's organ in the 1970s. The group sought permission to remove the organ from the Alabama in order to save it, but Costa and Head's creditors deemed it the most valuable item in the building and forbade its removal. In response, the group began a fundraising effort to buy the theater, and it was purchased in 1987 by Birmingham Landmarks, Inc., a nonprofit organization originally started with the sole purpose of saving the theater. With the purchase, the theater was renamed the Alabama Theatre for the Performing Arts. In 1993, the Alabama was designated the official state historic theater of the state of Alabama.

In 1998, the Alabama Theatre underwent a complete restoration in which gold leaf and paint were cleaned or replaced, seats were replaced or recovered and some carpeting and drapes were replaced. The renovation coincided with the conversion of the 1935 Loveman's building into the McWane Science Center.

Birmingham Landmarks continues to own the theater, as well as the Lyric Theatre, a 1914 vaudeville theater located across the street from the Alabama, which reopened in 2016 after an $11.5 million restoration. The Alabama hosts approximately 250 events each year, attracting more than 400,000 people to a variety of performances including Broadway-type theatre, ballet, opera, concerts and film.

Organ
When the Alabama Theatre was built in 1927, films were silent and required musical accompaniment, typically provided by an orchestra or theater pipe organ. The Alabama's organ is a Crawford Special-Publix One Mighty Wurlitzer. Only 17 products of this model were built, and the Alabama's organ, nicknamed Big Bertha, is one of only three still installed at their original sites.

The Alabama's organ is a four-manual keyboard organ. It was originally installed with 20 ranks (sets of pipes) but has been expanded to 32. It also features numerous percussion instruments and sound effects to accompany silent films.
