 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Dbowman comments
SamC, very curious about your affiliation with Southern Virginia. I'm just doing a little research on the beginnings of the place and would love to get in touch...not sure how to email you through this Wikipedia thing.

WVU
I saw your comment on the WVU talk page. Feel free to edit the article and expand on it if you can. I haven't gotten around to writing a larger history section just because of my schedule. I have been wanting to spruce it up a bit though. As mentioned though, go ahead and edit yourself where you see it appropriate and Be Bold. (As far as the band goes, they are exceptional because they are constantly regarded as one of the nations best university bands and winners of the Sudler Trophy. They are also such a large group on campus it is worth keeping on here). --ScottyBoy900Q 17:24, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Kanawah State Forest
Kanawha State Forest is not a day use facility during the summer, as camping is allowed. WVhybrid 23:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The reference to day use has been corrected. SamC, I was wondering if you have a reference to the legislation that changed the status of Kanawha State Forest?  A year of passage, bill number, law section, etc., would be helpful.  Thank you. WVhybrid 23:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

West Virginia Turnpike
Any reason you removed substantial information from the West Virginia Turnpike page? The section you modified, relating to the future of the Turnpike, has relevant information on future development projects relating to a new interchange and bond payments. If not, it will be restored.

Edits to Capito and Callaghan
Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

Thant being said, I am thinking of putting the articles on Callaghan and Wolfe up for WP:AfD, as they have no claim to fame except for losing the races this year. Wakim, however, would stay as memebers of a state legislature meet WP:BIO. What do you think?  young  american (ahoy hoy) 14:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Your comments on the Capito page...
I have tried to address your concerns on the article. Your edits at first seemed odd (mainly due to blanking and lack of an edit summary), but upon review I can totally see your point. Have you checked out Articles for deletion/Mike Callaghan yet? Since you are familiar with WV politics, I would value your opinion. Cheers.  young  american (ahoy hoy) 01:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Coca-cola bottling of northern new england
A tag has been placed on Coca-cola bottling of northern new england requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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. Dawn Bard (talk) 00:11, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Charleston Gazette-Mail
A tag has been placed on Charleston Gazette-Mail requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Nerdy Science Dude :)  (✉ click to talk • my edits) 01:57, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of National Motorists Association
I have nominated National Motorists Association, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/National Motorists Association.

WVTS/WBES
The factual accuracy of these pages are intact. The pages are up-to-date according to FCC.gov. If you have information that is different, you will need reliable third-party sources to back that information up. At current, WBES remains on AM 1240 and WVTS remains on AM 950 according to the Federal Communications Commission. -  NeutralHomer •  Talk  • 09:22, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The FCC data base only records technical information. This station has changed formats and the update is constantly reverted by a vandal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SamC (talk • contribs)
 * That is incorrect. The FCC handles up-to-date call sign information.  So if WBES moves to AM 950, the FCC database would have that information.  They do not.  All call sign change information MUST go through the FCC first or it doesn't happen.  No call sign changes or other information has been issued to the FCC, so your information is false.  As such, I have marked you twice for vandalism. -  NeutralHomer  •  Talk  • 00:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bob Bastress
A tag has been placed on Bob Bastress requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  ttonyb (talk) 04:41, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Referencing for beginners for instructions. Thank you. Pianotech Talk to me!/Contribs 14:18, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. —  Jeff G. ツ  14:39, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello SamC! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created  is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

I welcome a lot of new school page authors to Wikipedia, and I would like to thank you for your contribution. Unfortunately, the page you created, at James Monroe High School (West Virginia), didn't quite work out according to the school page guidelines, and needs some very rapid attention.

Speedy deletion nomination of Williamson Daily News
Hello SamC,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Williamson Daily News for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Danrok (talk) 11:48, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I declined the deletion. Asserting something to be a long-standing newspaper is a clear indication of possible importance, and enough to pass speedy. However, all Wikipedia articles must be referenced. Since you obtained the information from somewhere (you refer on Damrok's tp. to "standard lists") you are responsible for adding it, and adding it immediately when making the article is easiest and best, for you have the information at hand.

In addition to standard lists, there is usually references to such newspapers in local histories, and it would be good to add this also, in order to prevent possible challenges at AfD. As a quick way, Google Books often finds something. But if it does not, any librarian at a large library can help.  DGG ( talk ) 15:46, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Name of Austria

The German name of Austria, Österreich, derives from the Old High German word Ostarrîchi "eastern realm", recorded in the so-called Ostarrîchi Document of 996, applied to the Margraviate of Austria, a march, or borderland, of the Duchy of Bavaria created in 976. The name is seemingly comparable to Austrasia, the early middle age term for the "eastern lands" of Francia, as known from the written records.

The Old High German name parallels the Middle Latin name Marchia Orientalis ("eastern borderland"), alternatively called Marchia austriaca. The shorter Latinized name Austria is first recorded in the 12th century. It has occasionally led to confusion, because, while it renders the Germanic word for "east" it is reminiscent of the native Latin term for "south", auster (see Name of Australia).

In the 12th century, the Margraviate was elevated to the status of duchy, in 1453 to archduchy and from 1804 claiming imperial status, all the time retaining both the name Österreich and the Latin name Austria.

Ostmark, a translation of Marchia Orientalis into Standard German, was used officially from 1938, when the country was incorporated into the German Reich, until 1945.

The contemporary state was created in 1955, with the Austrian State Treaty, and is officially called the Republic of Austria (Republik Österreich).

German name
Österreich is derived from Old High German Ostarrîchi. The term probably originates as a vernacular translation of the Latin name Marchia orientalis (eastern borderland). The ostar- is related to Old High German ōstan (eastern), but its exact derivation is unclear. Old High German rihhi had the meaning of "realm, domain".

The Marchia orientalis, also called the Bavarian Eastern March (Ostmark ) and the March of Austria (Marchiam Austriae), was a prefecture of the Duchy of Bavaria. It was assigned to the Babenberg family in 976. The variant Ostarrîchi is known from a single usage dated 996. Later Medieval documents record the word as either Osterrîche (official) or as Osterlant (folk and poetic usage). The variation Osterrîche is first recorded in 998. Marcha Osterriche appears on a deed granted by Emperor Henry IV and dated 1058.

Friedrich Heer, a 20th-century Austrian historian, stated in his book Der Kampf um die österreichische Identität (The Struggle Over Austrian Identity), that the Germanic form Ostarrîchi was not a translation of the Latin word, but both resulted from a much older term originating in the Celtic languages of ancient Austria: more than 2,500 years ago, the major part of the actual country was called Norig by the Celtic Hallstatt culture of the land; according to Heer, no- or nor- meant "east" or "easterns", whereas -rig is related to the modern German Reich, meaning "realm". Accordingly, Norig would essentially mean the same as Ostarrîchi and Österreich, thus Austria. The Celtic name was eventually Latinised to Noricum after the Romans conquered the area that encloses most of modern-day Austria, in around 15 BC. Noricum later became a Roman province in the mid 1st century AD. Heer's hypothesis is not accepted by linguists.

An alternative theory, proposed by the Austrian Slavistics professor Otto Kronsteiner, suggests that the term Ostarrîchi is taken from a Slavic toponym Ostravica meaning 'pointed hill', taking its popular meaning of 'Eastern realm' at a much later time. This theory was rejected as untenable by Austrian linguist Heinz-Dieter Pohl.

Another remoter possibility is that the name comes from the Ostrogoths, who had a kingdom in what is now Austria and northern Italy.

Ostarrîchi document
The document was issued by Emperor Otto III on November 1, 996 in Bruchsal to Gottschalk von Hagenau, Bishop of Freising. It is today kept in the Bayrisches Hauptstaatsarchiv in Munich.

The historical significance of the document lies in the fact that it is the first time that the name Ostarrîchi, the linguistic ancestor of Österreich, the German name for Austria, is mentioned, even though it applied only to a relatively small territory. The document concerns a donation of the "territory which is known in the vernacular as Ostarrîchi" (regione vulgari vocabulo Ostarrichi), specified as the region of Neuhofen an der Ybbs (in loco Niuuanhova dicto). The emperor donated this land to the abbey of Freising as a fief. The lands and some other communities in the vicinity, which the abbey acquired later, were held until 1803, when they were incorporated into Austria.

Latin name
The first written mention of the name Austria is found in the work Historia Langobardorum by Paolo Diacono and dates back to 796.

The name Austria is a latinization of German Österreich (that is, the spelling of the name Austria approximates, for the benefit of Latin speakers, the sound of the German name Österreich). This has led to much confusion as German Ost is "east", but Latin auster is "south". That is why the name is similar to Australia, which is derived from the Latin Terra Australis ("southern land").

The name is first recorded as Austrie marchionibus (Margrave of Austria) on a deed issued by Conrad III to the Klosterneuburg Monastery in 1147. On the Privilegium Minus of 1156, the name of the country is given as marchiam Austriae (March of Austria) and as Austriae ducatum (Duchy of Austria). In English usage, "Austria" is attested since the early 17th century.

Other languages
All Germanic languages other than English have a name for Austria corresponding to Österreich: Afrikaans Oostenryk, Danish Østrig, Dutch Oostenrijk, West Frisian Eastenryk, Icelandic Austurríki, Faroese Eysturríki, Norwegian Østerrike (Bokmål) or Austerrike (Nynorsk) and Swedish Österrike. Finnish Itävalta is also derived from the German name: itä means "east" and valta "state". "Austria" or a phonetic derivative (such as Ausztria) was adopted in most other languages, including Hungarian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Maltese, Ukrainian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Polish, Slovene, Greek, Estonian, Turkish, and Albanian. French is one of the exceptions within the Romance group in adapting the German name, Autriche. Catalan also did the same, though the forms are no longer in use. Apart from the modern-day form of Austria, antiquated forms used in Catalan were Hostalric and Hostalrich, and Estarlich, which are the forms derived in that language to correspond to German Österreich.

The Czech and Slovak languages have a peculiar name for Austria. Czech Rakousko and Slovak Rakúsko neither derived from German Österreich nor from Latin Austria. The Czech name of Rakousko, previously also Rakúsy and later Rakousy, which is still used for the states of Upper and Lower Austria (Horní, Dolní Rakousy), originates in the name of the Austrian castle and town of Raabs an der Thaya near the Czech-Austrian border, formerly also known as Ratgoz or Ratgos. It is worth noting that in his Geography the ancient writer Ptolemy mentions two tribes (of unknown ethnic affiliation) named Racatae and Racatriae which inhabit the areas around the Danube River "up to his bend", roughly corresponding to the region north of Vienna and southwestern Slovakia.

Another possible explanation of Czech Rakousko and Slovak Rakúsko: The predecessor of Austria and Slovenia was Slovene principality Carantania. The central part of Carantania (the territory of present-day southern Austria and north-eastern Slovenia) is named in Slovenian Koroška (or in the old version Korotan), in Slovak Korutánsko, in German Kärnten and in English Carinthia. The Old High German name of Austria (Ostarrîchi) appeared in written document more than three hundred years later than the name Carantania, while the shorter Latin name Austria was first mentioned only in 12th century. Therefore is it reasonably to assume that the present-day Czech and Slovak name for Austria (Rakousko, Rakúsko) developed from the original Slavic name for Carantania since in early middle ages and also later the ancestor of the present-day Slovaks and Slovenes were not divided by the wedge of Germanic or Germanized population.

The Arabic name for Austria is an-Nimsā (النمسا). The Arabic appellation of Austria was first used during the Crusades and was borrowed from the Slavic name for "Germans", němьci whence Russian немцы (nemcy), Polish Niemcy, Croatian and Bosnian Njemačka, Serbian Немачка (Nemačka), Slovene Nemčija, Czech has Německo, Slovak Nemecko, etc..

In Persian, Austria was called an-Namsā (النمسا) (the same name as Arabic) and when the Turks came to settle in Anatolia later in the Ottoman Empire era, they used the Arabic name of Austria as well and they called the country Nemçe. Currently, the name Otrish (اتریش), derived from the French pronunciation, is used.

Unit
Isn't this game based on soldiers of the 502nd, not the 506th? The reason I haven't changed it already is because I'm not sure of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scratt Wiesmann (talk • contribs)

 * You are correct. The game is based on the 502nd Infantry Regiment (United States). This is also consistent with the true-to-life character of Robert G. Cole in the game as an officer. -- Scottie_theNerd  14:23, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Play Station 2 Depresion
Again the PS2 disapoints us. Again a great game, Brothers In Arms Road to Hill 30, losses the race for graffics. The PS2 cuts out hundreds of lines that sometimes throughs you off, and the ammo thing is better on the PC and XBox than on the PS2.

Hi me again 3 years later i have had a 360 for 2 0f those years and i think if they remade this game i would go insane because of its already great story gameplay and ect.

Precursor
The comment "Jim Henson's late-night precursor to Sesame Street and the Muppet Show, got its start on WRC-TV on May 9, 1955." is inaccurate. Jim Henson's Muppets achieved their first celebrity status by appearing on WRC-TV in the middle-1950s and by appearing in a memorable series of commercials for local coffee brand Wilkins. The Muppets were attuned to adult sensibilities. In the late 1960s, when Sesame Street was first aired, the Muppets were repurposed as gentle creatures who could relate well to children. The Muppet Show came a decade or more after the Muppets were established on Sesame Street. It was targeted to both children and adults. --72.75.101.46 15:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Dates for Willard Scott playing "Bozo the Clown"
According to WRC-TV's official website history here, Scott played Bozo the Clown "1959 to 1964". Accordingly, I have (again) corrected the date "1962" to 1964. For those who believe that WRC-TV is incorrect, what is your source?  JGHowes talk  -  04:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

 * WRC-TV's website is incorrect. It's been well documented that Scott debuted as Ronald McDonald in 1963, after WRC-TV's Bozo show was cancelled.  Scott himself chronicals in his book "America is my Neighborhood" how his debut as Ronald evolved from Bozo after his Bozo show, which was sponsored by a local McDonald's franchise, was cancelled.  In fact, the following historical Washington, D.C. kids' TV website lists not only the year but the month Willard Scott's Bozo began and ended here and here.  IMDB (The Internet Movie Database) also states that WRC-TV's Bozo show ended in 1962 here.  McDonald's official website states that Scott debuted as Ronald in 1963 here as does "The Joy Boys" website here.  The case study "A McDonald’s Family Challenges the Status Quo" also states that WRC-TV's Bozo show was cancelled in 1962 here.

WIKIPEDIA STRIKES AGAIN!
Regarding my edit of 19 Aug 2007, 21:55 GMT, from IP 72.147.17.171

Once again, Wikipedia shows just how accurate and reliable it is. Sinbad is dead! John Siegenthaler killed JFK! And J-Lo's kid sister was a news reporter when she was barely a teeny-bopper! Wikipedia strikes again!

I'm not going to get into a revert war over this point; my only reason for making the edit in the first place was to test how long it would take a wikidiot to revert it. Pretty quick response -- it took only two minutes for Daven200520 to restore the article to its pristine and inaccurate state. However, the two L.Ls you've stated as being the same person are not at all the same. I lived in DC for several years, and personally knew WRC's L.L. (who has returned to TX, where she grew up). They are definitely not the same person.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Check out your article on WNYW's Lynda Lopez, and you'll see that she was born in 1973 ... which means that if she was the same person who worked at WRC starting in 1986, she would have had to have been 13 years old at the time. Even if IMDB, which lists her as having been born in 1971, is correct, this would mean that she was 15 years old when she began working as a reporter at a major network franchise in the nation's capitol. I consider IMDB the more reliable source than Wikipedia, since -- unlike Wikipedia -- they at least try to do some rudimentary fact-checking before inserting content. But still, this would mean that someone barely old enough for high school was doing news stories on Congress, the White House, etc. for a major news market. That's pretty damned impressive!

I'm still trying to decide which is more hilarious; the first idiot who assumed that there's only one Lynda Lopez in the world and linked the two together, or the second idiot who assumed that any new information from an unsigned user is false. Neither bothered to take a quick glance at the dates. Neither bothered to do a quick Google search, which would have revealed (among other things) these links:

http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-733081.html [confirming WRC's LL's origin in TX and her dates of employment at WRC] http://www.my9ny.com/news/lynda-lopez.html [confirming that WNYW's LL did not grow up anywhere near TX, but instead in NY]

But I'm not going to try to make that decision. Instead, I'm going to tell this story around to every "Wikipedia sucks" site I can, and just add fuel to the growing public awareness that Wikipedia is a pile of crap. I expected the revert to happen, but I also expected that it might take several hours ... but two minutes?! Hilarious!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Significant trimming of Former Staff section
I just cut everyone out of the alumni section that does not have their own Wikipedia page or have a reference to establish their notability. This is the current consensus procedure, based on discussions at WP:WikiProject Television Stations and at [the Village Pump]. The rationales are as follows:
 * 1) Most importantly, per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) Secondarily, per WP:V, we cannot include information that is not verifiable and sourced. I'm not certain how it would even be possible to source this information.
 * 3) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

All of the people with their own pages are notable enough to appear on this list. However, if you look at pages about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of info, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). The two former staff w/o pages I left were Wally Bruckner, as there was a reference (not one that would justify him having his own page, but enough to belong here) and Bryson Rash, who seemed notable enough as an original anchor and being directly related to the Peabody Award won by the station. I'd still prefer a reference (thus, the cn tag) but the Peabody Award article at least confirms that WRC-TV did win that award. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:41, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

In most levels of Brothers in Arms, the player is given command of one or two separate 1-3 man teams, with the exception of several sections in which the player is not in command of any unit. There are two types of teams, which are automatically provided before each mission:

 * Fire team: Made up of soldiers with the M1 Garand and the Browning Automatic Rifle and used to fix the enemy with suppressive fire.
 * Assault team: Made up of soldiers usually with the M1A1 Carbine and the Thompson submachine gun and is good for flanking the enemy while they are pinned down by the player's fire team.

Additionally, some levels provide the player with a tank in lieu of a squad, providing players with heavy firepower and mobile cover. The player can man the pintle-mounted M1919 Browning machine gun on the tank for additional suppression.

Brothers in Arms is notable for its intuitive command system; teams and tanks can be ordered to move, lay suppressive fire, rally, find cover, and charge the enemy. The game stresses at multiple points the effectiveness of fire and maneuver tactics, known as the Four Fs actually used by the military during World War II, expressed in the game tutorial as "Find, Fix, Flank, Finish" describing the steps in suppressing and flanking an enemy.

The focus on team command rather than individual marksmanship is emphasized by providing the player with inaccurate aim. Brothers in Arms models weapons with erratic accuracy, and enemy fire can interfere with a player's aim to simulate the effects of suppressive fire. The relative lack of accuracy is designed to simulate the difficulty in hitting targets in a combat situation and to force the player to use team members to engage enemy units and provide better tactical opportunities.

Plot
On June 6, 1944, Sergeant Matt Baker participates in the initial jump off, taking place hours before the Normandy landings. When their plane is hit by anti-aircraft fire, killing Private David Muzza, Baker is thrown from the plane and separated from his squad. After landing, Baker eventually manages to regroup with Staff Sergeant "Mac" Hassey, radioman Private First Class Kevin Leggett and Lieutenant Colonel Cole. Though off course, Mac leads Baker and Leggett in destroying several Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns with explosives. By morning, more of the squad has managed to find one another, including Corporal Joseph "Red" Hartsock, who Mac delegates to Baker to clear an important road leading to Utah Beach. After fighting their way through the German lines, Baker and Hartsock link up with squadmates Privates Larry Allen and Micheal Garnett, and the four paratroopers defend against a counterattack from the beach and succeed in securing an exit for the 4th Infantry Division.

With the beachhead secure, Baker, Hartsock, Allen, and Garnett are tasked to clear out "Objective XYZ", a makeshift German barracks housing scores of Germans.

After securing a landing field for glider infantry reinforcements, the 502nd is then tasked with clearing the town of Vierville on D-Day+1, with assistance from an M5 Stuart light tank whose commander happens to be Baker's best friend, Sergeant George Risner. Baker's squad and Risner manage to clear the town, as well as repel an armored counterattack before embarking on the tank to secure a vital crossroad near Saint-Côme-du-Mont. Although successful in breaking through the heavy German defenses, Risner's tank is ambushed and immobilized by a Panzerfaust. Risner dies as he provides cover for Baker and his squad.

On D-Day+2, Baker and the regrouped 502nd assault Saint-Côme-du-Mont. Mac instructs Baker to first clear out a German machine gun nest which has been making transit in the area risky for the troops. Baker and his squad, now with Corporal Sam Corrion and Private Michael Desola, succeed in doing so and are then tasked with retaking the town from the occupying Fallschirmjäger forces. The next day, Baker learns from Leggett that Allen and Garnett died after securing a barn. Baker's team then fights through the stragglers from Vierville to destroy a bridge that could be used to transport German armor towards the beaches. With an M4 Sherman tank in support, Baker manages to fight his way through enemy lines and destroy the bridge.

On D-Day+4, Baker finds the more of his squad, Privates First Class Tom "Zano" Zanovitch, Stephen "Obi" Obrieski, and Privates Johnny Rivas and Dale McCreary, but Rivas is killed before they can move out. After that, they link up with Cole to secure a causeway leading to Carentan, a crossroad town linking Utah and Omaha beaches. Stuka bombers, however, attack the causeway, knocking Baker unconscious for a day and killing Desola. Once Baker recovers the next day, he finds out about Desola, and that his final squadmate, Private First Class Jack Courtland has shown up. Lt. Col. Cole then leads an attack on a heavily defended German farmhouse, using smoke barrages to conceal themselves from the numerous machine gun emplacements. After taking the farmhouse, the 502nd then repels a German counterattack, while also rescuing a Lt. Homer Combs.

The following day, Baker and the 502nd push into Carentan, destroying German armor and making steady progress. The town is liberated, but Baker's squad loses Obrieski and barely holds the town when the Germans attempt to retake it with tank support. After this, the 101st Airborne Division moves slightly out of Carentan before being struck by a massive German counterattack. Baker's men fight their way through German armor and infantry as they make their way to the main defensive positions. Upon arriving, however, Baker is quickly knocked unconscious in the fierce action, and witnesses Leggett's death; when he awakes, Mac sends him off the line alone to find nearby American armored reinforcements from the 2nd Armored Division. Baker successfully finds two tanks and helps drive off the German attackers, saving the remaining paratroopers.

The exhausted paratroopers are sent back to Carentan, where Mac congratulates them for their efforts. Mac announces Hartsock's promotion to Sergeant, appointing him in command of another squad, and that a "Colonel Marshall" is waiting to interview them on their experiences. Mac, however, then privately tells Baker that "this isn't over" and welcomes him to "the end of the beginning" as Carentan suddenly comes under bombardment, and the squad charges once again into action.

Development
Brothers in Arms uses a modified version of the Unreal Engine 2.0 with various effects such as motion blur, colored and lighting, anisotropic filtering, rag-doll physics, realistic ballistics, surround sound and dampening. The story behind Brothers in Arms was based on the missions that were conducted by the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, of the famed 101st Airborne Division, behind enemy lines during D-Day. Randy Pitchford, the developer of the game, described it as "the best game [he's] ever worked on". He and his development team tried to recreate the actual look of 1944 Normandy and its buildings, landmarks, streets and battlefields. They researched about the real soldiers who fought there, the historical reconnaissance photographs, and operations and battles such as Operation XYZ, Utah Beach and Purple Heart Lane. Their research included interviewing various veterans and shooting the actual weapons from the game's timeline.

Retired Colonel of the US Army John Antal was the consultant of the development team in creating the game's innovative tactical gameplay. He was tasked in making sure that the action and the commands were accurate and authentic as possible, and he taught the development team both in the classroom and the field about real-combat decision making and firefights. The development team researched and analyzed other tactical and strategy shooters in order to create their own unique gameplay in Brothers in Arms. They designed the characters to behave like real trained soldiers that were fully capable of engaging the enemy, covering each other, and getting good firing positions to engage from. Pitchford described the development of the game as "expensive and time consuming", and the process in making the game took several prototypes and attempts that cost them time, resources and ideas. These attempts were made in order to make the tactical combat as fun and engaging as possible, without making it look like other standard shooters in the market. Pitchford had a problem in making the story due to the fact that World War II shooters were as "scripted as a Disneyland ride and not as interactive" in the current video game industry. The development team made sure that the story was not as clichéd and scripted as other World War II stories, and make the game as dynamic and plausible with players actually caring for their character's lives and the combat they're into. The game was released on March 15, 2005 for Xbox, PS2 and PC. Ubisoft Shanghai assisted in porting and releasing the game for the PS2. Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 was Gearbox Software's first independently owned game, and Pitchford made sure to protect its license from other publishers who want to buy it. Pitchford gave credit to Ubisoft in taking the risk, giving them freedom to develop the game as their own and helping them in its marketing.

Reception
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 was a commercial success, selling 1.7 million copies by the end of March 2005. Brothers in Arms' computer release received a "Silver" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), indicating sales of at least 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom.

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Philip Morton of Thunderbolt gave the game a perfect 10/10 rating and called it as "exactly what the genre needed". He praised the gameplay that he described as "honed to near-perfection".

However, the game's repetitive gameplay have garnered negative feedback from other critics. Maxim gave the PS2 and Xbox versions a score of 8/10 and wrote that "gamers with short attention spans will likely find all the squad management tedious, but we think it adds a much-needed dimension to a very stale genre".

Detroit Free Press gave the Xbox version 3 out of 4 stars, saying that it "could have been a four-star game, were it not for a couple of things that don't work well. You can press a button to give you an overhead view during missions. But instead of helping to advance the plot, the swirling, zooming view left me dizzy. And the enemy intelligence is set pretty low, meaning they don't pursue you with much cunning".

The Sydney Morning Herald on the other hand, which gave the game 4 out of 5 stars, praised the AI which they described as intelligent, but criticized the redundant gameplay saying that "most encounters are overcome using the same method: laying suppressing fire and flanking".

During the 9th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, Road to Hill 30 received a nomination for "First-Person Action Game of the Year" by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences.

Legacy
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 is considered by many to be one of the best World War II video games and tactical shooters ever made. Gaming sites and critics praised the innovation in gameplay that Brothers in Arms brought into the World War II video game genre, which was already becoming stale and unpopular at that time. During its release, GameSpot called it "one of the best World War II gaming experiences to date". Gamerant ranked it as #7 in its "9 Best World War II Video Games" list, stating that "whereas most World War II shooters tend to focus on mindless action, Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 is all about smart strategy and tactics, and that it "also has a greater focus on character development than other games of its ilk, resulting in one of the more emotionally mature World War II video game narratives available for gamers to experience".

As a historical game, Philip Morton of Thunderbolt praised the game for more accurately and realistically capturing the time period than other games before it. He stated that other games in the genre, such as Call of Duty and Medal of Honor, were Hollywood versions of the War, and described Brothers in Arms as the video game equivalent of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers by being an "authentic and emotional portrayal of war". Morton claimed that it was "without a doubt the best World War II game ever made." Ben Griffin of PC Gamer praised it for its real portrayal of war, describing it as "a great history lesson, effortlessly straddling the line between authentic and enjoyable".

Casement Aerodrome

Casement Aerodrome (Aeradróm Mhic Easmainn) or Baldonnel Aerodrome is a military airbase to the southwest of Dublin, Ireland situated off the N7 main road route to the south and south west. It is the headquarters and the sole airfield of the Irish Air Corps, and is also used for other government purposes.

The airport is the property of the Irish Department of Defence. Baldonnel Aerodrome is also the home of the Garda Air Support Unit.

History
The airfield was first laid out in 1917 and was used by the Royal Flying Corps (soon to become the Royal Air Force). It was part of the RAF's Ireland Command.

In 1919, civilian flights commenced, with a service from London.

The aerodrome was originally run by two pilots from the Royal Air Force. The airfield was the one from which the first successful east–west Atlantic crossing by a Junkers W33 aeroplane, the Bremen, took off on 12 April 1928 with Baron Hünefeld, Hermann Köhl and Captain James Fitzmaurice as co-pilot; and the first Aer Lingus flight took place from here on 27 May 1936. It was also the destination at which Douglas Corrigan landed on his famous 'wrong way' flight across the Atlantic on 18 July 1938.

In February 1965 Baldonnel was renamed Casement Aerodrome in honour of the Irish nationalist Roger Casement, executed for treason by the British in 1916.

In 1995 it was suggested that it be used as a second commercial airport for Dublin, especially for low-cost carriers such as Ryanair.

Anti-war activists have accused the government of allowing the aerodrome's use as a US military stopover hub, with protests in 2006 leading to arrests. In March 2002, Michael Smith, the Minister for Defence, confirmed that since September 2001, 22 US military aircraft had landed at the aerodrome. There has also been speculation since the early 2000s that Casement Aerodrome is used as an airport by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for their extraordinary rendition programme. Similar claims have been made with regard to Shannon Airport, but as Baldonnel is a military airport, it is impossible to verify.

Queen Elizabeth II landed at Casement Aerodrome on 17 May 2011, beginning her state visit to Ireland.

Two for the Show (Kansas album)

Two for the Show is the first live album by American progressive rock band Kansas, released in 1978. The album was recorded over the course of the band's three previous tours in 1977 and 1978. It was certified Gold and then Platinum shortly after its release. In 2008, a remastered and expanded edition was released to commemorate the album's 30th anniversary.

One single, "Lonely Wind," was released from the album. The single version was edited to under 3 minutes, and included a small amount of the piano solo that precedes it on the album. It received a reasonable amount of airplay and rose to No. 60 on the pop charts. Record World called it "a characteristic Kansas ballad with a lush high harmony hook."

In addition, Kirshner Records issued a promotional album of edited selections from the release, entitled Kansas Mini Concert on the spine and label, and Two for the Show Special Limited Edition on the cover. It features "Lonely Wind," "Dust in the Wind," "Song for America," and "The Wall." The same songs appear on both sides, and the first side is unbanded, meaning there is no indication on the vinyl of where each song begins. This promo album was issued with both a black and a white cover.

Original 1978 LP version
* "Closet Chronicles" was omitted from the original CD release due to time constraints but appears on the remastered version of The Best of Kansas released in 1999, and appears on the second CD of the remastered version of Two for the Show.

2008 remastered version
Two for the Show was re-released as a 2-CD set in 2008 to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the album with a second disc of songs that did not appear on the original album (except "Closet Chronicles" which was included on the original vinyl, excluded from the original CD release, and appears here on the second CD along with the bonus material) and a 24-page booklet.

Disc Two
All of the bonus tracks were recorded at the time of the recording of the album but omitted from the original album for various reasons including time constraints. Different live versions of "Bringing It Back," "Down the Road," "Cheyenne Anthem," and "Sparks of the Tempest" appeared as bonus tracks on the remastered versions of Kansas, Song for America, Leftoverture, and Point of Know Return respectively. A different, earlier live version of "Lonely Street" appears as a bonus track on the later recorded U.S. version Live at the Whiskey (a different live version of "Belexes" and "Journey from Mariabronn" appear as a single bonus track on the German version of this release, available on iTunes and Apple Music)

In 2010, Legacy released the Kansas entry in Legacy's Boxed Set series known as The Music of Kansas. The 3rd of 3 discs from this Boxed Set is culled entirely from the double CD version of this album, featuring live cuts from both the original and expanded release, marking the first compilation to feature any of the previously unreleased tracks. A 4 disc version of this release was also issued a year later.

Talk:Camenae

Comments
Who identified the Camenae with the Muses? At Muses the reader is told they "were identified with" the Camenae. What is the real nature of these "identifications" of Greek and Roman deities in so many Wikipedia Greek myth entries? Generic enough to be misleading? --Wetman 02:04, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I remember Livius Andronicus begins his translation of the Homeric Odyssey translating part of the first line "andra moi ennepe Mousa polutropon" ("O Muse, inspire me to speak of the resourceful man...") with "Virum mihi, Camena, insece versutum" (almost word for word translation from Homer). It is the first instance to the best of my knowledge that we find the Muses identified with the Camenae, and it is perhaps notable that Livius Andronicus was a Greek who wrote in Latin; so perhaps he based his identification on no previous authority but made it up; Ennius in his Annales, which is post-Livy, begins by begging the Muses for inspiration, not Camenae: "Musae, quae pedibus magnum pulsatis Olympum" (O Muses, who dance on great Olympus); the mention of Olympus would make the mention of Italic nymphs dancing on its snowy mountain top rather unpalatable; this might be a clue that identification of the Camenae with the Muses might have been a short lived invention of Livius Andronicus that did not take root among the masses and it was maintained only among the scholarly inclined like Marcus Terrentius Varro and Nigidius Figulus, else perhaps Ennius would have employed it later when he composed the Annales. Lucius Domitius 22:02, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

"Sometimes called "acmenae" from the Greek. The plant species "Acmena Smithii" named after these mythological creatures."

I removed this bit: it was certain Greek Nymphs that were called "Akmenai" they had nothing to do with the Camenae or the Muses as far as I know. The only reference I have found for the Akmenai is in Pausanias V. 15, 6. As for the plant name it has no place here if the Camenae were never called Akmenai in the first place. I at least have never encountered the terming "acmena" used for "Camena"; could anyone provide a reference?Lucius Domitius 00:37, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Boethius in De Consolatione Philosophiae explicitly identified the camenae with the musae. In metrum 1, he refers to them as Camenae and in Prosa 1 as musa. The identification is absolutely clear...and Boethius was most certainly NOT the only one to have done this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.230.48.34 (talk) 16:02, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Buccal pumping

Buccal pumping is "breathing with one's cheeks": a method of ventilation used in respiration in which the animal moves the floor of its mouth in a rhythmic manner that is externally apparent. It is the sole means of inflating the lungs in amphibians.

There are two methods of buccal pumping, defined by the number of movements of the floor of the mouth needed to complete both inspiration and expiration.

Four stroke
Four-stroke buccal pumping is used by some basal ray-finned fish and aquatic amphibians such as Xenopus and Amphiuma. This method has several stages. These will be described for an animal starting with lungs in a deflated state: First, the glottis (opening to the lungs) is closed, and the nostrils are opened. The floor of the mouth is then depressed (lowered), drawing air in. The nostrils are then closed, the glottis opened, and the floor of mouth raised, forcing the air into the lungs for gas exchange. To deflate the lungs, the process is reversed.

Two stroke
Two-stroke buccal pumping completes the process more quickly, as is seen in most extant amphibians. In this method, the floor of the mouth is lowered, drawing air from both the outside and lungs into the buccal cavity. When the floor of the mouth is raised, the air is pushed out and into the lungs; the amount of mixing is generally small, about 20%.

Gular pumping
Gular pumping refers to the same process, but accomplished by expanding and contracting the entire throat to pump air, rather than just relying upon the mouth.

This method of ventilation is inefficient, but is nonetheless used by all air-breathing amphibians and gular pumping is utilized to a varying extent by various reptile species. Mammals, in contrast, use the thoracic diaphragm to inflate and deflate the lungs more directly. Manta ray embryos also breathe by buccal pumping, as mantas give live birth and embryos are not connected to their mother by umbilical cord or placenta as in many other animals.
