Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron Dunlap

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. 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 (blk-cmp error). – ABCD 20:42, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Aaron Dunlap
Not notable; vanity page. Also looking at the other pages linked to by the Gaming_Horizon article to see if they are similar...

 * Note: The page was just a placeholder for me to add more content later when the deletion submitter flagged it, I had just submitted the full version before I saw the deletion vote. Working on too many pages at once, methinks. (My second day as a submitter) Asriel86 03:45, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
 * Note (again): Regarding the lack of notability, some staff members of Gaming Horizon are notable members of internet culture. Aaron was the first person to bring hands-on Phantom coverage (including the first ever pictures) to the public, and he is probably GH's top editorialist. I realize some of the other staff members lack notability, so I will hold off on the creation of stub pages for them until they do something interesting =) Asriel86 03:54, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
 * Asriel86 is the subject of the article (despite refering to himself in the third person), these claims are invalid without verification. --bainer 07:44, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Revising my vote to Keep. (I'm allowed to do that, right?) For this article only; his response makes sense to me. Chaz 04:01, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're certainly allowed to do that. Radiant_* 15:57, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * I suppose I ought to post the obligatory Keep. Thanks for hearing me out. Yay democracy! Asriel86 04:08, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity. Not only was this never properly listed on vfd, but Asriel86 improperly removed the vfd notice the same day it was applied; this was going to be an independent nomination.  Gaming Horizon should be looked at very carefully as well; I'm not nominating it at this time, though I'm sorely tempted . —Korath (Talk) 03:54, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe take a nap? Other than some pointless staff pages that I later admitted I shouldn't have made, I don't see what the problem with Gaming Horizon is. If IGN can have an article, why can't it? And as for this article, I'd be glad to see some outside votes (didn't know it wasn't listed correctly, wondered why it was so inactive), but I'll contribute my obligatory keep. I was planning on adding articles for several gaming journalists in the future, and this would make a poor precedent for the legitimacy of professional journalists (internet ones especially) on a resource so closely connected to the internet and its culture. Asriel86 04:45, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * You already voted above. —Korath (Talk) 07:12, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

 * 'Keep', contrary to what people believe, this is not a vanity page. I see not one speck of information that this is a vanity page, and if the "flagger", (not derogatory), could please share some disdinct proof. Tobb 05:01, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Certainly. From Asriel86's user page:
 * Aaron Dunlap - Me. Tee-hee. There was a VFD on it when I first posted it, but it was decided that I am significant enough of a person to have an article. Huzzah!
 * Gaming Horizon - Gaming site I work for
 * Is that sufficient? —Korath (Talk) 07:11, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, it probably isn't, since Asriel86 made the first edit to Tobb's user page: —Korath (Talk) 07:20, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Quite a vendetta, Korath. TOBB is a different guy, you can check the IPs if you're so interested in trudging through ever back cannal of this site to find all my misdeeds here. If I have to defend every comment I make here, which I dont, I Tobb is someone I know through a forum. Asriel86 15:34, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Korath has a valid excuse. Guess who edited your article the most in December? That's right, Tobb].--Anonymous Cow 18:44, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * That is incorrect. Tobb has made one edit on this page, that link highlights the difference between a version from 5 months ago and one from last night. Please don't use skewed evidence against me, I'm getting very sick of being treated like a maluser. The person who edited this article the most in December was ME. I don't know why I'm arguing this anymore. Just delete the freakin article and stop throwing accusations at me and scrutinizing over every last edit I've ever made.
 * And please don't ride Tobb's back from now on, I don't want this elitism to scare him away. --Asriel86 18:56, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC), considering buying a Brittanica now.
 * Oops, I screwed up. I accidentally clicked the wrong link (curr). My apology with that screw up. --Anonymous Cow 19:04, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * You just bought yourself off of my craplist =) I need to go for a walk.  --Asriel86 19:09, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Kevin Rector 06:19, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Undecided - Article makes him sound like any schmuck. However, it appears he has written quite a few articles. DDerby 06:51, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity + socks. --bainer 07:44, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete vanity Dsmdgold 09:45, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity. If he's notable enough, someone besides himself will write the article. --Halidecyphon
 * Self-serving Comment again, since Korath is turning this into a character arugment. The VFD was added to this article when it was just a stubb that looked like all the vanity pages here, name & birthdate. Once I added some content, he retracted his delete vote. I ASSUMED that if the person who flagged the article in the first place changed his vote and that there were no other delete votes, it would be ok to remove the flag. I guess I was wrong. Also, I guess I should have used an anon IP to contribute this article, as I doubt most bibliographic articles about internet-culture people haven't been edited by their subjects. Sarah Lane, for one. If you're voting delete just because I made a mistake with the tag, then you're doing it for the wrong reasons. If you do want to delete the article, I'd say merge it with my user page. --Asriel86 15:35, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Excerpts from the referenced Sarah Lane: "Sarah is currently dating (a named co-worker)"; external link to "What Sarah Wore" fan site. Barno 02:12, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Eh? --Asriel86 03:46, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or userfy per the above. Not for procedural reasons, but I do not find this particularly encyclopedic. Radiant_* 15:57, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, self-confessed vanity. Grue 16:34, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Vanity. android↔talk 17:04, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Vanity. I went back to his articles that he edited and it seems like he was advertising him and his website. For example on The Phantom (game system) article, "On May 12th, 2004, Aaron Dunlap, from the gaming news site Gaming Horizon, posted the first ever pictures here" and "Gaming Horizon has a summary of the Phantom's history published in a two-part series titled Phantom: Rewound. Part one is available here and part two is available here. [Used with permission] *Currently unavailable*" In my opinion, there should be only one journalism site should be mention in that article is HARDOCP.--Anonymous Cow 18:17, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Where do you get that from? GH was the first place to host pictures and a hands-on preview of the system. Just because the site is getting lambasted as advertisement, it doesn't mean it cant even be referenced. Once the Phantom: Rewound features go back up (they got dropped in a server move), I will link to them in the external links section, since they detail the entire running history of the system. Unless, that is, I'm not supposed to provide valid information if I'm the person who compiled it. I also think that article containing the first pictures of the system is a notable piece of information for Phantom history. I'm fine with excluding that link as it is included in the Phantom: Rewound piece I mentioned before. For cripes sake, you dont have to discount every edit I've ever made because you don't like the ones pertainant to myself -- I built that Phantom page from the ground up; I'm more than a vane advertiser. I don't need to have all my legit contributions removed. --Asriel86 18:35, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Production: not the deep south
The Production section contains a statement implying that some of the movie is set in "the extreme deep south of the United States". This is not correct, because in the US "deep south" is an idiom referring to the southeast part of the country, roughly from Louisiana to Tennessee to Virginia to Georgia. Other discussions I've read indicate that the end may be intended to be as far east as Missouri, but Missouri does not qualify as "deep south". The WP article on the Deep South gives a slightly different interpretation, which is natural as the term is not strictly defined, but no interpretation includes either Missouri or New Mexico, much less Arizona. However, I don't know enough about the shooting locations and plot locations to correct it. Paleolith (talk) 04:27, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's clearly wrong. I've corrected it to "southwestern United States". — Satori Son 16:37, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks to Paleolith for pointing this out and to Satori Son for fixing it. For your info the events covered in the film are loosely (very loosely) based on the New Mexico Campaign portion of the Civil War. Due to the fact that huge liberties are taken with those events I wouldn't necessarily add this to the article. As to shooting locations this film like Fistful... and A Few... was filmed in Spain. I hope that this helps and thanks again to you both and cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 16:57, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Good point about shooting locations being in Spain. I should have stuck to referring to plot locations. Thanks to Satori Son for making the fix. Paleolith (talk) 06:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Adventure film
Adventure films has recently been added as a category for this page. I feel this is inappropriate. Can we have some more opinions on this? Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:51, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, the only source that lists this as an adventure film is imdb (which is not reliable) and users in forums (also not reliable). 14:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chigurgh (talk • contribs)
 * Okay...cool? Weird since you added it to the article and reverted it twice from me in the first place.Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:41, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Who is "The Good", who is "The Bad", and who is "The Ugly"?
The article claims that Blondie is the Good, Angel Eyes the Bad, and Tuco the Ugly. That certainly makes sense. But this old trailer for the film indicates that Tuco was the Bad and Angel Eyes the Ugly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13EUXqIwDkQ&feature Poldy Bloom (talk) 02:17, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Poldy I am restoring your question because I think it is a legitimate one. I don't have a specific answer but I do know the following.
 * 1) The commercial that you have linked to is the original US release commercial for the film and it is included on the deluxe DVD set that came out several years ago.
 * 2) One of the making of documentaries on the DVD set also includes the sequence from the Italian film where the words are written in script form next to the characters and they have it in the following order - 1)Blondie as "Il buono", 2)Tuco as "Il brutto", e 3)Angel Eyes as "Il cattivo". As you see this is the same order as the commercial that you linked to.
 * 3) The next thing to consider is the translation of "Brutto" and "Cattivo". When I look them up at online translation sites both words are first described using the term "bad" - then brutto includes things like beastly, grotty and unpleasant - while cattivo includes evil and nasty. The extra words do fit the characters they way they are played out in the film.

All of this leads me to to suspect that the original United Artists commercial simply took the Italian one and slapped their rough tranlation over the top of it. Next is a far bigger guess on my part - I think that was a marketing department discussion that Tuco being "Bad" and Angel Eyes being "Ugly" didn't make sense and so by the time that the film was released they had changed it - in both the opening and the closing sequences of the film to the version that we have had ever since. Now all of this is the worst form of WP:OR, WP:SYNTH and WP:SPECULATION and I would not change the way we have the terms listed in the article. I post this in the hope that someone who a) has a better understanding of Italian and b) has referenced material explaining the situation might see our messages and be able to clear things up. You will not be the only person confused upon by seeing the original commercial, thus, some small sourced mention of the discrepancy could and should be put in the article to assist other readers. MarnetteD | Talk 21:51, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Both adjectives translate as "bad" and sometimes can be used synonymic in Italian. But "brutto" has the connotation "unpleasant", used as in "tempo brutto" meaning "bad weather". In this line of thought somebody ugly would qualify as unpleasant to the eye. Whereas "cattivo" implies immorality and maliciousness based on intent. An even simpler approach would be the common Latin origin of the Italian "brutto" and the English "brute", resulting in a matching description of the Tuco character. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.76.139 (talk) 22:24, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If I might suggest, why not make it clear that the depictions in the Italian title are in a different order? Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:10, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Cemetary
The name of the cemetary is Sand Hill, not Sad Hill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.49.44.204 (talk) 15:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

 * No it is not. Both the close captions and the subtitles state "Sad Hill" and when I watched the film again just a few days ago I listened closely and they actually say "Sad Hill" no "n" is pronounced. Nice spelling of the word cemetery BTW. MarnetteD | Talk 16:20, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

IT IS SAND HILL. I am a collector and have a copy of the script autographed by Clint. Closed captions are computer generated asswipe. You can't depend on speech recognition software. SAND HILL CEMETERY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.48.202.89 (talk) 04:09, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

 * We aren't using speech recognition software and the subtitles were may have been created before such a thing existed. You may or may not have a script but changes between script and screen happen all the time and the subtitles and close captioning are what we go with here. You will also want to read WP:NPA if you wish to edit further. MarnetteD | Talk 04:17, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * BTW regarding your totally inappropriate entry in the article you might want to reread your script and watch the film again. It is set in and around the New Mexico Campaign. The mention of Henry Hopkins Sibley at various points in the film confirms this. That is several thousand miles from Georgia. MarnetteD | Talk 04:29, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Your claim that speech recognition software was used brings up a couple questions: You might also want to investigate when your copy of the script was created. Since the original script was in Italian you must have a later iteration of it. If that is the case it could just as easily be a typing error by the person who transcribed the script. As yet I see know reason to change the article away from what is said onscreen and what is in the subtitles. MarnetteD | Talk 13:40, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) The name is of the cemetery is stated by several actors at different points in the film. Why would the program get the name wrong every single time?
 * 2) It is a long film with dozens of characters and lots dialogue. If the program is unreliable why aren't there dozens (or hundreds for that matter) of mistakes in the subtitles?

A Google search for Sad Hill Cemetery gave numerous results, but this one satisfied me: http://sadhillnews.com/2010/08/01/sad-hill-cemetery --- The Old Jacobite The '45  13:32, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes.... I will agree with the gentleman above, although disparaging his language, that one cannot always trust computers, and their various logs and records. Everything goes back to humans anyway. (...) I have watched the film, and I am not certain. People often pronounce words differently, and with an accent, yet if a script exists saying "Sand Hill" I would think this is fairly determinative. Btw. New Mexico is about 2000 miles from Georgia, not several. The latter figure would place one in the Pacific. The scenery at this point in the film is not unlike N.M. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John G. Lewis (talk • contribs) 02:21, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

 * If a script exists that says "BLAH" instead of "Blah", the first thing to question, surely, is the provenance of this "evidence". I'm not sure which field - "movie memorabilia" or "famous people's autographs" - is more rife with fakes (innocent and deliberate) than the other, but both fields are pretty infamous for fakes. That Google Earth shows that a place called "Sand Hill Cemetery" exists would be relevant if the scriptwriters were using Google Earth in the mid-1960s ... which would possibly have other, larger implications (time travel, etc). As a plot "McGuffin", the name of the cemetery really doesn't matter. I don't think "historical accuracy" was terribly high in the motives of preparing the shooting script. I was looking at the "Tuco in the gunsmiths shop" scene just now, from the point of view of the arms (continued below) and the weapons presented seem to be ones which required the cranking of a barrel-side lever for every (paper) cartridge that was loaded into the revolver ... which isn't "historical". (I am not a gun nut - I may be wrong, but ...) As far as I can tell, single piece rear-loaded cartridges became available after the US Civil War time period of the film.

In contrast to the comment about "historical accuracy" above, my interest in the gunshop scene is that I am pretty sure that Tuco deliberately (sense: "with deliberation"; contrast: "by accident") breaks down three weapons, mixes their parts, and reassembles one weapon. That is a test of the interchangeability of parts and the precision of machining which is essential to "mass production" - and which was a relatively new thing in the 1860s. The scene takes up enough time that I wonder what purpose - apart from the obvious "re-arm Tuco", for the plot - it served Leone. While the weapons as a whole suffer from the same inaccuracies as almost every other "Western", that gunshop scene seems to me to be making a different point.Meh! original research. But I'm not interested enough in movies to dig out a "Dollars Trilogy" fan site. (Oops, forgot to sign) AKarley (talk) 04:36, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

old proposed merge
The Tuco Ramirez article has been tagged with a proposed merge (to this one) since December 2009, yet I don't see any discussion in the talk archives here (or there). It might be a good idea. Is the character really notable on his own to warrant an entire article (that essentially just rehashes half the plot of the film)? --Fru1tbat (talk) 13:53, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks for you post Fru1tbat. I come across these old merge tags from time to time. They might have brought action in the past but they don't seem to have any effect anymore. The Tuco article doesn't have much that is encyclopedic in it (I wish that we had a Wikifiction or Fictionpedia where editors could create things like that to their hearts content) and anything that could be salvaged from it could easily be added here - if it isn't here already. If you want any action to occur I think that the best bet would be to list it at WP:AFD with a recommendation of merge and then see what happens. Thanks again for bringing some attention to this and cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 14:24, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Carazo vs. Santo Domingo de Silos
As far as I am concerned the place where the cemetery was build is not part of the municipality of Carazo but Santo Domingo de Silos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.233.0.125 (talk) 16:49, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Mexican standoff
I don't know what others think, but personally, i couldn't disagree more with the current plot summary's characterization of the end as a "Mexican standoff", with the men "calculating allegiances". No way. It was entirely clear that what Blondie was proposing was a three-way shoot out. No "allegiances". It was to be man for himself. The only thing they were "calculating" was when was the right moment to make the initiating move and which of the two opponents to shoot first.

Of course, in his own mind Blondie knew he that he *really* only intended to kill Angel Eyes and that he didn't have to worry about Tuco. But that was his secret. He intentionally framed his proposal as a three-way shoot out, where each man would try to kill *both* of the other two, and that's clearly how both Tuco and Angel Eyes saw it. When Tuco's gun does not fire after Angel Eyes has been shot, Tuco clearly flinches fully expecting Blondie to shoot him next.

In a Mexican standoff, everyone is using the threat of shooting to keep anyone from shooting because no one will survive. In this, there was no thought or attempt to prevent the shooting. Here, the idea was form them to just have a straight old-fashioned, quick-draw shoot-out, just with three guys instead of two, with every expectation that one of the three *would* survive. 76.170.160.245 (talk) 22:40, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

 * I'd argue a defining characteristic of a Mexican Standoff is skill has no bearing on the outcome. Everyone is at exactly the same advantage/disadvantage. If shooting starts, everyone has the same chance of winding up dead and if someone does come out on top, it's not because the odds actually favored them. But that's not the case here. Not only has Blondie rigged the contest by removing Tuco's ammo, the showdown between him and Angel Eyes comes down to skill, not just luck -- both because he is the better shot, and because of the aforementioned rigging, which means Angel Eyes believes he needs to make two shots, not just one. So while Angel Eyes *thinks* he's in a Mexican Standoff, he's actually at a distinct disadvantage, and therefore not. 2600:1702:E30:D070:967:241E:576:4777 (talk) 18:52, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced of the change, and question the lack of mention in edit summaries. As the viewer, we're not aware that the truel was rigged. We don't find out until Angel Eyes is killed, and Tuco's gun won't fire. As I haven't found where in the page history the text was changed, I am restoring the text until a more thorough discussion is concluded. See the RfC discussion below. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 05:05, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Restoring lost scenes
I was watching one of the documentaries on the Blu-ray release and it was mentioned that Eastwood and Wallach were brought in sometime in the mid-2000s to re-record dialogue for the deleted scenes when the film was restored (Tuco meeting the thugs in the cave being one of the scenes). I don't see any reference to that here. 70.72.211.35 (talk) 00:40, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

It would be interesting to do two things here, with all the lost scenes. (1) Collect all, and make a film of full length, as much as this is feasible. This might possibly, and even probably, go beyond Sergio Leone's artistic vision. Nevertheless, it would at least prove intriguing. (2) Then compose a film consisting of what a panel thought to be *the finest cut* of "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". When I saw some deleted scenes, I agreed personally with the elimination of some of them, but others I rather strongly disagreed with. I remember one of the latter occurred during the 'Bridge sequence', toward the end of the movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John G. Lewis (talk • contribs) 02:36, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

 * The restored version from some years ago is actually Leone's artistic vision, it is an edit based on the Rome premiere and only missing a few seconds of the torture scene in the POW camp due to lack of a decent print. Still lost is the sequence taking place at Socorro – parts of it were used in a trailer, but the material itself was never included in the final cut. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.97.165 (talk) 18:55, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Plot length
The plot summary is currently 1,348 words long, which is nearly double the maximum length of 700 words called for by WP:FILMPLOT. This needs to be addressed. --- The Old Jacobite The '45  00:06, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Nonsense. There are exceptions to every good rule. This is a seminal, very important film, not only for Italian Westerns, nor merely for Westerns, but for the entirety of the film industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John G. Lewis (talk • contribs) 02:26, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Word count should probably reflect running time. You hardly can break down this film's plot to the length of that of a Three Stooges epsiode, with the only similarity being three guys starring as main characters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.97.165 (talk) 19:05, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Charles Bronson?
I've just watched the DVD extras, in which Clint Eastwood states that Sergio Leone wanted Henry Fonda to play "The Bad". Mr Larrington (talk) 03:58, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Production
In my opinion every article on a film should include the type of film and the release's aspect ratio. Also, the expression "anamorphically enhanced" does not make sense. Is the original aspect ratio 2.35:1, as can be found on various websites, (see http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/18724/The-Good-the-Bad-and-the-Ugly/theatrical-aspect-ratio.html)and has it been altered (cropped and panned) on the latest DVD versions? Mydogtrouble (talk) 20:17, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Allegedly Techniscope Mydogtrouble (talk) 20:26, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I agree with that. 80.212.44.121 (talk) 19:45, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Plot trimming
Plot could do with some obvious edits to cut down the word count, eliminate redundancy and highlight some important points of the story. I am presuming seven nearly single sentence points are not too long to avoid perusal. 1. I think it is important to mention that Tuco had Blondie try and hang himself as it plays well into their history as well as into the final scene 2. It has been mentioned that Blondie collapses from dehydration. So mentioning again at the end that he has to recover from dehydration is redundant 3. Mentioning right away that Blondie lies about the grave takes away an important twist as one goes on reading the passage. Furthermore, it is mentioned later on that "Blondie states he lied about the grave". So again, redundancy. For these two reasons, just mentioning that he reveals the grave as Arch Stanton would suffice in my opinion. 4. It is well known that that area of the cemetery is the courtyard, but this may not be important. 5. It is obvious that Tuco would be angry. Mentioning so does not serve any purpose. However, it is important to mention that he is tied up, because he has the gold in front of him, but is unable to access it or take it with him. That was Blondie's "revenge" after all despite being a fair man.

6. "Shouts abuses" does not sound right. The correct syntax would be "abuses loudly". 7. The error in the "Eli Wallach" passage is quite blatant. It is imperative that both Clint and Lee be mentioned by their first names, instead of "Clint" and "Angel Eyes". That just does not make sense. Jamf21 (talk) 20:25, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

QMUL STUDENT ASSIGNMENT
We are a group of students from Queen Mary University of London who are going to be editing/improving this page as part of a class assignment. Our usernames are as follows: User:RyanQMUL2, User:Bobbylala99, User:Lukewilliams2k, User:HenryBrotherton and User:CallumChung0803

RfC: Mexican standoff or truel
There exists a disagreement (see Talk § Mexican standoff) as to whether the film's climax is a Mexican standoff or a truel, with the film being mentioned in both articles pop culture sections. The question is, which term belongs in § Plot? If both terms are technically correct, then I would advise picking one based on a reliable quoted source directly associated with the film, and not a later interpretation. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 05:01, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * (summoned by the bot) What term do secondary sources about the film use? I don't see any sources cited in the prior discussion above. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:48, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I went through all of the references easily available to me from the existing reference list. Of those, I found only one example of either of the terms being used; in this article from the BBC, the term "Mexican standoff" is used, not in reference to the confrontation at issue in this film, but to the homage to this moment in Reservoir Dogs. I may have missed an instance given my research was not thorough, but if it cannot be demonstrated that any sources use the terms to specifically refer to this moment in the film, it may be best to just describe it without using either. Rman41 (talk) 21:58, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Duels were regulated contests and, when pistols were involved, they proceeded by signal or turns. The question might be avoided by calling it a "armed showdown". 98.248.84.55 (talk) 22:08, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above comments. When in doubt, leave them out. Describe the scene succinctly so that you don't need to rely on a catch-all term. Pillowcrow (talk) 17:06, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * (summoned by bot) I've not watched the film in a few years, but I feel the crux of the issue here is semantic: the term Mexican standoff has several closely related senses¹ with vagueries within those. Is it semantically narrower than any physical standoff? Must the conflict be armed? Does it require at least three or three or neither? Must there be a stalemate (ongoing or just brief?
 * We're unclear which one we're using both here, and, worse, at Mexican standoff—despite that article ostensibly covering the concept IRL (without any actual incidents mentioned), rather the word itself nor the trope in film (whilst also conflating the multiple senses of the title in the article text).
 * Ideally, here, we'd mention the term somewhere (as it is closely related to this film), but then add an explication in different terms in the plot section with more detail
 * ¹FWIW, at least one older sense seems to fit the film's final scene, as well as one recent sense, which, according to Wiktionary, was actually popularised by this very scene. It should be noted that the O.E.D. also lists "a massacre in cold blood" (also arguable here) in addition to those senses given by Wiktionary, making the term potentially in part wider than a standoff.
 * Llew Mawr (talk) 23:58, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I disagree that it would be ideal to mention the term anywhere. I do not believe there is sufficient evidence in the available sources that the term can be directly tied to the event that occurs here, even if it is an accurate description of what occurs. If there are alternative sources that can substantiate that tie, then that would change the conversation. Rman41 (talk) 05:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Rman41 I, of course, meant if we find sources, and I'd be happy to leave it out if we dont find good sources or the link doesn't seem significant*. Film reviews such as https://www.slashfilm.com/770872/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-ending-explained-seems-like-old-times/ do mention the term's link to the film. I'd rather we only mentioned it in passing and didn't use the term in Wikipedia's voice due to its ill definition.
 * * I feel it it is somewhat significant given my brief OR finds multiple corpora suggesting the phrase didn't garner much usage till 1966 (when this film came out).
 * Llew Mawr (talk) 12:01, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I Agree with 98.248.84.55's suggestion: I would like to see the term, it's Wikipedia links, and the current photo caption remain. However, I think we've raised a valid point, which is that at this time, not enough reliable sources link the term Mexican standoff to this film, and I've not heard one mention of a truel either. Suggestion: Move the Wikipedia link down to § In popular culture, and replace its' usage in § Plot and the file caption with a generic (unlinked) term. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 16:53, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Mexican standoff per reliable sources. Isaidnoway (talk) 14:43, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Blondie knows the name of the grave where a cache of Confederate gold is buried; he pretends to write it on a rock that he places at the centre of the circular cemetery, thus forcing Angel Eyes and Tuco into a Mexican stand-off. A long shot from a slightly elevated angle shows the three protagonists' Mexican standoff, echoed by the tunes of Morricone's The Trio. The film ends in a triangular Mexican standoff in the cemetery, each man eyeing the others and wondering whom to shoot first. Where better to begin than with the definitive Mexican standoff; the iconic sequence that made the device so popular. In the concluding part of Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy the three titular characters square off in a graveyard with Ennio Morricone’s operatic score providing the perfect backdrop to this breathtaking finale.

 * Newbie Lee Van Cleef had only just nabbed his first significant role in the Western High Noon before landing his small part in The Conqueor as Chepei. Most would remember him in the iconic Mexican standoff with Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Take for example, the Mexican standoff gun fight. While it appears as a triangle, in reality Tuco's gun has no bullets, a fact Blondie knows and Angel Eyes and Tuco do not. The standoff is never really a three-way fight because the hero is a trickster who takes unfair advantage.

 * Director Sergio Leone's fascinating cinematography and Mexican standoffs. The swirling Mexican stand-off at the end of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. That final Mexican stand-off in the spaghetti western, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The three eponymous characters edge around each other and take positions; the end of the quest in the centre of the graveyard. This situation, known as a Mexican standoff (from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"). The references to Sergio Leone's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," a climactic three-way Mexican standoff.

 * Leone's section hosts his original screenplays, as well as his passport. It also is home to a large, circular room that will show projections of the iconic Mexican standoff scene "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." Mexican Standoff (Il Buono, Il Brutto E Il Cattivo -The Good, The Bad The Ugly). The ending of the film, which centers on the iconic Mexican standoff. More eye-darting ensues as the trio observes each other's guns and realizes that they are, in fact, officially in a Mexican standoff. "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," I found that climactic, three-way Mexican standoff at the base of that immense, Civil War cemetery absolutely electrifying.

 * Clint Eastwood's "man with no name" had a thin cigar in his mouth during the Mexican standoff with Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The cigar signified calmness and imperturbability. In the face of violence and death, Clint kept puffing away. Die Evolution des Revolverkampfs spiegelt das wider: Sergio Leones Spaghettiwestern-Klassiker "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" stockte (wie der Titel schon verrät) das Duell mit seinem legendären "Mexican Standoff' zum Triell auf.

 * The Good, the Bad and the Ugly -- The Western was a genre in decline when Sergio Leone came along and gave it a shot of adrenaline in the mid-60s. In a few short years, the director single handedly established the Spaghetti Western, made several of the most highly regarded Western films in the history of cinema, and launched the film career of Hollywood superstar Clint Eastwood. The film's final Mexican standoff is truly unforgettable, as much for its drawn-out, meticulously constructed take on the classic Western scene as for its soaring trumpet solo.

 * The reconstructed full-length English language version of Leone's three-way Mexican standoff, the ultimate rush in Spaghetti Westerns. The Mexican standoff, with multiple characters pointing guns at one another, was a staple of Spaghetti-Western auteur Leone, the Fistful films maker who made The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The paper aims to critically examine the character development showcased in the movie, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly with special emphasis on the Mexican Standoff sequence. The style of direction in The Mexican Standoff with the three lead characters is very unique.

 * The finale of this film is what defines a perfect Western. Tuco searches through the graveyard for the correct burial site as “The Ecstasy of Gold” plays, leading to the inevitable Mexican standoff as all three of the characters fight for who shall claim the gold, Leone’s camerawork provides many tight close ups as well as vista shots, violence, and moral ambiguity as to right and wrong. There is also another good sequence related to Game Theory in “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (directed by Sergio Leone, 1966). This one has been recently pointed out by (Real Sociedad Matemática Española). The final sequence starts with a famous five-minute Mexican standoff while the three bandits calculate alliances and strategies to know who to kill.

 * A perfect example of this is the Mexican standoff scene from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Sergio Leone, 1966): the shots come closer and closer to the characters as the tension builds up; when it reaches the big closeup shot size, a little bit of time is given to the spectator to read the characters faces. Bezeichnet und die als Mexican standoff in die Filmgeschichte eingegangen ist. Im Filmtitel von The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ist diese den einfachen Moralismus.

 * Mexican stand-off because of the longstanding history of sources using this term. The best we can do for the word "truel" is to quote someone calling it that. But the standard term is Mexican standoff. Binksternet (talk) 02:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Mexican standoff: longstanding common name used by multiple RS. If "truel" is to be mentioned at all (I lean toward yes), we need a source; this should do: Truels, the three player extension of a duel, are well known from the 1966 Italian western ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’. Xan747 ✈ 🧑✈ 14:40, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

 * In Italy, everyone knows that the final scene of the film is the triello' - the "truel" or "triple duel". The track composed by Ennio Morricone is called "Il triello" and Sergio Leone himself described the scene as "triello" in . Also this interview: "Besides, the film contains a sequence, that of the 'triello', which gave me great satisfaction" (transaltion). I don't know which one is the best transaltion of the Italian neologism triello, whether "truel" or "triel" or simply "Triple duel", but I know that in Italy "triello" is the most common description of the finale of the film, and I'm sure there's plenty of Italian sources using "triello". However, there are also sources in English, e.g. "The Cambridge Companion to Film Music" (CUP 2016) here. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 22:18, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

 * In the Italian Wikipedia article, Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo,  they use both terms in the lead, — triello (uno Stallo alla messicana) -  (in inglese Mexican standoff). In the plot section, they only use triello. I found two articles in Corriere della Sera (via The Wikipedia Library), one used triello in relation to this movie, and the other one used stallo messicana in relation to this movie. But the weight of the English reliable sources clearly show Mexican standoff as the preferred term. Isaidnoway (talk)  17:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Why is Somali history taken as Egyptian History?
The section on bronze age contacts only mentions trade with the land of Punt. Although there is some contention about where exactly that lay, most scholars agree that the most likely location was Puntland, at that time one of the major sources of myrrh and frankincense (the latter is not found in Ethiopia); especially given the lengthy sea travel described in records of the Egyptian expeditions to 'Pwenet'. I believe this section does not belong here. I have now qualified it by indicating that the location of the Land of Punt is not certain. Robert Kluijver (talk) 08:01, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Name Ethiopia
The theory that Ezana did somehow appropriate the name after the conquer of Nubia makes no sense, he doesn’t refer to them as Ethiopians and secondly does not use the name to reference themselves thereafter. That theory does not wash. 2A02:C7C:36FF:3600:E5C3:603F:84F6:78D0 (talk) 05:02, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Summer Hill railway station

Summer Hill railway station is located on the Main Suburban line, serving the Sydney suburb of Summer Hill. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Inner West & Leppington line services.

History
Summer Hill station opened on 15 September 1879. The Main Suburban line through Summer Hill was quadruplicated in 1892, and sextuplicated in 1927 in association with electrification works.

As part of the 1892 work, the northern side platform was converted to an island platform and a new platform constructed on the most northern line. The latter was demolished as part of the 1927 works.

In 2004, Summer Hill was provided with lift facilities which are accessed from the subway. Initial plans called for a new overhead footbridge to access the station however this was opposed by locals on both aesthetic and access grounds, and the plans were subsequently altered to the current arrangement.

Transport links
Summer Hill station is served by one NightRide route:

Luc Robitaille

Luc Jean-Marie Robitaille (born February 17, 1966) is a Canadian–American professional ice hockey executive and former player. He currently serves as president of the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL).

During his 19-season NHL career, Robitaille won the Stanley Cup in 2001–02 with the Detroit Red Wings, and played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers, but is most known for his 14 seasons (over three different stints) with the Los Angeles Kings. He served as the Kings' team captain during the 1992–93 season (while Wayne Gretzky was injured) and for the final two games of the 2005–06 season. Robitaille retired after the 2005–06 season as the highest-scoring left winger in NHL history and the holder of several Kings franchise records, along with numerous Kings playoff records. In 2017, Robitaille was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players" in history.

Junior hockey career
Robitaille was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the ninth round, 171st overall, of the 1984 NHL Entry Draft. Many hockey experts expected Robitaille to be drafted late in the draft due to his poor skating ability. Robitaille himself has stated he had only had contact with one NHL team during his junior career, the Kings. He happened to be attending the 1984 draft (in the stands) and later introduced himself to first-year Kings general manager Rogie Vachon.

Robitaille and former teammate Dave Taylor are the lowest NHL draft picks to have recorded 1,000 career points. During the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, the Kings drafted future Baseball Hall-of-Famer Tom Glavine in the fourth round, over 100 spots before Robitaille.

Robitaille played junior hockey for the Hull Olympiques of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). In three seasons with the Olympiques from 1983 to 1986, Robitaille amassed 155 goals and 269 assists for 424 points in only 197 games, including winning the CHL Player of the Year with 191 points in 1985–86. In his honour, the QMJHL later created the Luc Robitaille Trophy, awarded to the team which scores the most goals each season.

Los Angeles Kings (1986–1994)
Robitaille's first NHL season was in 1986–87, where he helped the Kings qualify for the 1987 Stanley Cup playoffs despite a 31–41–8 record. He scored 45 goals and had 39 assists in 79 games, edging out Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ron Hextall for the Calder Memorial Trophy for the NHL's top rookie, the only Los Angeles player to ever win the award. He also earned a spot on the second All-Star team.

Robitaille scored more than 40 goals in each of his first eight seasons, including three 50 or more goal seasons, with a career-high 63 in 1992–93. That year, Robitaille set NHL records for most goals and points (125) in a season by a left winger. Robitaille's 63-goal record amongst left wingers was eclipsed by Alexander Ovechkin during the 2007–08 season, although Robitaille still holds the record for most points in a season by a left winger. With captain and superstar Wayne Gretzky sidelined by injury for much of 1992–93, Robitaille assumed the captaincy and led the team in scoring, playing a key role in helping his struggling team to make the playoffs. In 1993, the Kings reached the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in franchise history. However, they lost to the Montreal Canadiens in five games. Robitaille had 9 goals and 13 assists in 24 playoff games.

During the 1993–94 season, Robitaille's scoring totals remained respectable but considerably lower than his previous seasons, while Gretzky had returned from injury to win the NHL scoring title. The Kings failed to make the 1994 playoffs.

Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers (1994–1997)
On July 29, 1994, Robitaille was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Rick Tocchet and the Penguins' second-round pick in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft (used to select Pavel Rosa). With Pittsburgh, Robitaille set then-career lows in goals and assists during the lockout-shortened 1994–95 season.

After one season, Robitaille was traded to the New York Rangers (alongside Ulf Samuelsson) in exchange for Petr Nedvěd and Sergei Zubov. Robitaille had below-average numbers in two seasons with the Rangers, and for the first time in his career, had more penalty minutes (80) than points (69) in 1995–96.

Return to Los Angeles (1997–2001)
On August 28, 1997, in new general manager Dave Taylor's first move, the Kings re-acquired Robitaille from the Rangers in exchange for Kevin Stevens.

Robitaille struggled in his first season back in Los Angeles, scoring only 16 goals in an injury-shortened 1997–98 season. However, in the 1998-99 season, Robitaille returned to his All-Star form, scoring no fewer than 36 goals and had the best stats of his career after his first stint with the Kings during those three seasons. On January 7, 1999, he scored his 500th career goal in a 4–2 victory at the Great Western Forum against the Buffalo Sabres.

During the 2000–01 season, Robitaille scored 37 goals and 88 points. In the 2000–01 playoffs, Robitaille helped the seventh-seeded Kings to a first-round upset of the Detroit Red Wings, and his team took the eventual Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche to seven games in the conference semifinals. Robitaille was named a second team all-star, his first post-season team honour since 1993. Robitaille turned down a one-year deal with a substantial pay cut by Kings GM Dave Taylor.

Detroit Red Wings (2001–2003)
Robitaille signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the Red Wings beginning in the 2001–02 season, accepting less compensation than what other teams offered because the Red Wings represented his best chance at winning the Stanley Cup, particularly after their recent acquisition of goaltender Dominik Hašek.

In his first season with the Red Wings, Robitaille scored 30 goals and 50 points, helping them win the Presidents' Trophy, awarded to the team with the best regular season record. Due to the tremendous depth of scorers among Detroit's roster, Robitaille had less playoff ice time, although he still scored four playoff goals. The Red Wings defeated the Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals in seven games, meaning that Robitaille was going to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in his career. With the Red Wings' 3–1 victory in Game 5 against the Carolina Hurricanes, Robitaille's quest for an elusive Stanley Cup championship finally came to an end. At the direction of Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman, all of the teammates who had never previously won the Cup would hoist it after Yzerman, with Robitaille being the third Red Wing to skate the Cup around Joe Louis Arena, after Yzerman and Hašek.

Robitaille then had the lowest goal total in his career in 2002–03, due partially to limited ice time, and the Red Wings were upset in the first round of the playoffs by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in a four-game sweep.

Final stint with Los Angeles (2003–2006)
Robitaille returned to Kings as a free agent for the 2003–04 season. Although his scoring totals (22 goals and 29 assists) were below his previous levels as a King, he did lead the team in both goals and points, and the Kings stayed in playoff contention until a shocking 11-game losing streak to finish the season. On March 9, 2004, Robitaille scored the 650th goal of his professional career in a 3–2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes at Staples Center. He played his 1,000th game as a King a few days later, on March 13, 2004, in a 3–1 loss to the San Jose Sharks at HP Pavilion at San Jose.

On January 19, 2006, during a game against the Atlanta Thrashers, Robitaille scored a hat-trick, tying and passing Marcel Dionne's then-franchise record of 550 goals. His record-breaking goal was met with several minutes of standing ovations and a video-congratulation reel on the scoreboard. On April 10, the Kings announced Robitaille's intention to retire at the conclusion of the 2005–06 NHL season. Robitaille officially confirmed this the next day in a press conference held at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo, California. Robitaille's final goal and point was scored in typical Luc Robitaille fashion: one-timing a pass from Jeremy Roenick while at the centre of the right wing face-off circle past goaltender Curtis Joseph during a power play in a March 14, 2006, 6–2 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes.

Robitaille played his final NHL home game as a Los Angeles King against the Calgary Flames on April 15, 2006. He also wore the captain's "C" that normally belonged to defenceman Mattias Norström. Although he was held without a point in the game, he logged 18:37 of ice time and had four shots on goal. He was also the second shooter in the shootout, but his shot towards the upper-right corner of the net was stopped by the glove of goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff, despite being given an open five hole. The Kings ultimately won the game 2–1 off of a shootout goal by Pavol Demitra and three shootout saves by Kings goaltender Jason LaBarbera. The Kings held a curtain call for Robitaille after the game, where he was given a standing ovation by the sell-out crowd of 18,118 fans in attendance. After chants of his name died down, he gave a short speech and did one final lap of the rink at Staples Center.

Robitaille finished his playing career on April 17, 2006, at the HP Pavilion in a game against the San Jose Sharks. The Kings won 4–0. He received applause and chants of "Luuuc, Luuuc!" throughout the night by the 17,496 fans in attendance, as well as good wishes from many of the opposing players of the Sharks. After the game ended, the Kings players came out and gathered around him first, rather than the traditional congratulation of the goaltender. The Sharks players also came onto the ice to shake hands with Robitaille before they headed off into their locker room.

Legacy
At the end of his career, Robitaille had made eight NHL All-Star teams, set the NHL record for goals by a left winger (with 668) and points (with 1,394), as well the Kings' franchise record for goals, with 577, finished second to Dave Taylor in games played, fourth (behind Marcel Dionne, Wayne Gretzky and Taylor) in assists with 726, second behind John Bucyk's NHL record for assists by a left winger (813), and second to Dionne in points, with 1,154. Robitaille also became the second player in NHL history to record 1,000 points after being drafted as low as the ninth round.

The Kings honored his playing career by retiring his number during a pre-game ceremony on January 20, 2007. Robitaille's number 20 hangs in the rafters of Crypto.com arena alongside those of Rogatien Vachon, Marcel Dionne, Dave Taylor, Wayne Gretzky, Rob Blake, and Dustin Brown.

On June 23, 2009, it was announced Robitaille would be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He was honored during the November 6–9 induction weekend alongside his former Detroit Red Wing teammates Steve Yzerman and Brett Hull and former Ranger teammate Brian Leetch.

Robitaille has won three Stanley Cup championships, in 2002 as the member of the Detroit Red Wings, and in 2012 and 2014 as president of operations with the Los Angeles Kings.

On March 7, 2015, the Kings organization unveiled a bronze statue of Robitaille outside of the Staples Center honouring his accomplishments as an NHL player and as a member of the Kings. The statue is located near the main entrance to the arena, next to the statue honoring former King and teammate Wayne Gretzky.

On July 6, 2006, Robitaille was named president of the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League (USHL).

International play
Robitaille has participated in three international tournaments for Canada: The gold medal at the 1994 world championship was Canada's first title in 33 years. Going unbeaten through the tournament, Canada faced Finland in the final. Finland took the lead, but Canada courtesy of Rod Brind'Amour tied the game. Ten minutes of overtime solved nothing, and the game went into a shoot out. In the first five shots, Robitaille and Joe Sakic scored for Canada, but Jari Kurri and Mikko Mäkelä responded for the Finns, meaning the game moved to a sudden-victory shootout. Robitaille was up first for Canada and, despite losing the puck on his approach, was able to beat Jarmo Myllys to put the pressure on the Finns. Bill Ranford made the save, and Canada was once again world champion. "I'm not sure I've ever jumped so high in my life," Robitaille said later of his reaction after Ranford's final save. "It was just such a relief, and the celebration was something I will never forget."
 * 1986 World Junior Championships
 * 1991 Canada Cup
 * 1994 World Championships

Executive career
Robitaille was named the Kings' president of business operations on May 25, 2007. He also serves as the team's alternate governor. On April 10, 2017, Robitaille was named president of the Kings.

Other work
Robitaille and his wife Stacia co-founded the non-profit charity Shelter for Serenity in 2005 to help families displaced by Hurricane Katrina, and has extended to needy children in the Los Angeles community as Echoes of Hope.

Robitaille made an appearance on the FOX TV series Bones in the season 4 episode "Fire in the Ice". He appears as himself in an hallucination had by lead character Seeley Booth (portrayed by David Boreanaz, a passionate hockey fan ), when Booth is knocked out while playing in a recreational hockey game.

Robitaille also appeared in the movie Sudden Death. The directors used this to their advantage, sending Robitaille in on a breakaway to tie the game as time expired.

In Canada, Robitaille appeared alongside New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur in a Delissio frozen pizza commercial, where the two watch footage of Robitaille's many goals against Brodeur while sharing a pizza.

Robitaille made a cameo appearance as himself in the 1994 movie, D2: The Mighty Ducks, and voiced himself in the Phineas and Ferb episode "For Your Ice Only".

United States Flag Code

The United States Flag Code establishes advisory rules for display and care of the national flag of the United States of America. It is part of Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the United States Code ( et seq). Although this is a U.S. federal law, the code is not mandatory: it uses non-binding language like "should" and "custom" throughout and does not prescribe any penalties for failure to follow the guidelines. It was "not intended to prescribe conduct" and was written to "codify various existing rules and customs."

Separately, Congress passed the Flag Protection Act of 1968 (amended in 1989), a since struck-down criminal statute, which prohibits mutilating, defacing, defiling or burning the flag. Although it remains part of codified federal law, it is not enforceable due to the Supreme Court of the United States finding it unconstitutional in United States v. Eichman.

Additionally, the public law which includes the Flag Code (Pub. L. 105–225, largely codified in Title 36 of the U.S. Code), addresses conduct when the U.S. National Anthem is being played while the flag is present. That law suggests civilians in attendance should face the flag "at attention" (standing upright) with their hand over their heart.

Definition of a United States flag
The U.S. flag is defined by, executive order and official government standards: "The flag of the United States for the purpose of this chapter shall be defined according to sections 1 and 2 of this title and Executive Order 10834 issued pursuant thereto."Executive Order 10834 Proportions And Sizes Of Flags And Position Of Stars prescribes the design of the flag as well as Federal Specification DDD-F-416F.

Summary of the advisory code

 * The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing, unless it is the ensign responding to a salute from a ship of a foreign nation. This is sometimes misreported as a tradition that comes from the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, where countries were asked to dip their flag to King Edward VII; American team flag bearer Ralph Rose did not follow this protocol, and teammate Martin Sheridan is often, though apocryphally, quoted as proclaiming that "this flag dips before no earthly king."
 * When a flag is so tattered that it no longer fits to serve as a symbol of the United States, it should be replaced in a dignified manner, preferably by burning. The American Legion, Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the USA, TrailLife USA, U.S. Armed Forces, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and other organizations regularly conduct dignified flag retirement ceremonies.
 * The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
 * The flag should never touch anything physically beneath it. An urban myth claimed that if the flag touched the ground, it had to be destroyed under the Flag Code; however, it has been affirmed by the American Legion and state governments that this is not the case.
 * The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds but always allowed to fall free.
 * The flag should always be permitted to fall freely. (An exception was made during the Apollo Moon landings when the flag hung from a vertical pole designed with an extensible horizontal bar, allowing full display even in the absence of an atmosphere.)
 * The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally.
 * The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever.
 * The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
 * The flag should never be upside down, except to signal distress or great danger.
 * When displayed vertically against a wall, the union should be to the observer’s left.

Flag Day
Prior to Flag Day, June 14, 1923, neither the federal government nor the states had official guidelines governing the display of the United States' flag. On that date, the National Flag Code was constructed by representatives of over 68 organizations, under the auspices of the National Americanism Commission of the American Legion. The code drafted by that conference was printed by the national organization of the American Legion and given nationwide distribution.

On June 22, 1942, the code became Public Law 77-623; chapter 435. Little had changed in the code since the Flag Day 1923 Conference. The most notable change was the removal of the Bellamy salute because of its similarities to the Hitler salute.

The Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 prohibits real estate management organizations from restricting homeowners from displaying the Flag of the United States on their own property.

The Army Specialist Greg L. Chambers Federal Flag Code Amendment Act of 2007 added a provision to allow governors, or the mayor of the District of Columbia, to proclaim that the flag be flown at half-staff upon the death of a member of the Armed Forces from any State, territory, or possession who died while serving on active duty. The provision directs federal facilities in the area covered by the governor or mayor of the District of Columbia to fly the flag at half-staff consistent with such proclamations.

The Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Sec. 595.) allows the military salute for the flag during the national anthem by members of the Armed Forces not in uniform and by veterans.

Hallel

Hallel (הַלֵּל, 'Praise') is a Jewish prayer, a verbatim recitation from Psalms which is recited by observant Jews on Jewish holidays as an act of praise and thanksgiving.

Full Hallel
Full Hallel (הלל שלם) consists of all six Psalms of the Hallel, in their entirety. It is a Jewish prayer recited on the first two nights and days of Pesach (only the first night and day in Israel), on Shavuot, all seven days of Sukkot, on Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, and on the eight days of Hanukkah. The sages have provided a "siman" (a way to remember) the days when full Hallel is recited. It is called "BeBeTaCh".

A blessing is recited at the beginning and end of Full Hallel.

Partial Hallel
Partial Hallel (חצי הלל) omits parts of the Full Hallel: The first 11 verses of both Psalms 115 and 116 are omitted. In Yemenite Jewish custom, additional passages are omitted: Psalm 117, and Psalm 118:1–4.

Partial Hallel is recited on the last six days of Pesach and on Rosh Chodesh. On these days Hallel was originally not recited at all, and the partial recitation indicates that it is only done by later custom rather than to fulfill a requirement. Regarding Passover, the Talmud argues that Full Hallel is only recited on days when the Temple sacrifice differed from the previous day's, while the sacrifice for all days of Passover was identical. Other sources suggest a different reason: that Full Hallel is omitted on the seventh day of Passover in consideration of the Egyptians who died during the Crossing the Red Sea, and omitted on the middle days of Passover so that they not overshadow the seventh day. Regarding Rosh Chodesh, the Talmud states that Hallel is only required on days on which work is forbidden, which is not the case on Rosh Chodesh.

While Ashkenazi Jews recite a blessing at the beginning and end of Partial Hallel, some Sephardic Jews do not, particularly if the blessing they recite at the beginning of Full Hallel is (to complete the Hallel) instead of  (to read the Hallel) as recited by Ashkenazi Jews.

Occasions
Hallel consists of six Psalms (113–118), which are recited as a unit, on joyous occasions including the each day of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot), as well as at Hanukkah and Rosh Chodesh.

On all these occasions, Hallel is recited as part of the morning Shacharit prayer service, following the Amidah. In addition, it is recited during the evening prayers on the first (and, outside Israel, second) night of Pesach (except by Litvaks and Yekkes), and by all communities during the Passover Seder service. According to the Talmud, there was a dispute between the Houses of Hillel and Shammai regarding the reading of Hallel during the Seder. According to the school of Shammai, only the first psalm (Ps. 113) should be read before the meal, whereas the school of Hillel advocated reading the first two psalms (Ps. 113 and 114). The remaining Psalms would be said after the Grace After Meals (as is usually the case, the halacha follows the school of Hillel).

On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Hallel is not said at all, because as the Talmud states: "Is it seemly for the king to be sitting on His Throne of Judgment, with the Books of Life and Death open before Him, and for the people to sing joyful praises to Him?"

No Hallel is recited on Purim, despite the fact that there was a miraculous salvation. The Talmud suggests three reasons for this:
 * The miracle did not occur in the Land of Israel and, for "lesser" holidays, only those occurring in Israel merit the recitation of Hallel.
 * The redemption was not complete: after the Miracle of Purim, Jews remained subjects of the Achaemenid Empire (whereas on Hanukkah, Jews gained their independence from the Seleucid Empire).
 * Reading the Book of Esther is considered a form of Hallel.

Partial Hallel is recited on the last six days of Passover, and on Rosh Chodesh. On all other occasions when Hallel is recited, the text is the full Hallel.

Many Jewish communities, especially those which identify with religious Zionism, recite Hallel on Israeli Independence Day and some also recite it on Jerusalem Day. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel instructs Jews to recite Hallel during Israeli Independence Day.

Other Hallel sequences
The name "Hallel" is normally applied to Psalms 113–118. For greater specificity this is sometimes called the Egyptian Hallel. This name is due to its mention of the Exodus from Egypt in.

Great Hallel
The term Great Hallel is used to refer to Psalm 136; according to other opinions in the Talmud, Great Hallel refers to either Psalms 135–136 or 134–136. Each verse of Psalm 136 concludes with the refrain "for his mercy endures forever" and it contains mention of twenty-six acts of Divine kindness and sustenance for the world. It is recited at the Passover Seder after the standard Hallel is completed. It is also said in the expanded pesukei dezimra on the morning of Shabbat and festivals. In the Talmudic era, if rain fell on the morning of a fast day that was declared in response to a drought, this was seen as a sign of Divine favor, in which case "the Great Hallel" was added in the afternoon prayers. There is mention in some references that this Psalm may also be used antiphonally in Temple worship.

Psalm 136 was most probably used antiphonally in Temple worship. In Jewish liturgy, the Great Hallel is recited at the Passover Seder after the Lesser Hallel. All through the refrain is a repeated reference to the Lord's steadfast love (see ). This psalm is a hymn that opens with a call to praise God because of God's great deeds in nature and God's gracious historical actions in the history of Israel. It continues expressing God's mercy toward all and ends with another call to praise God.

Pesukei Dezimra
Pesukei dezimra is also described by the Talmud as a kind of Hallel.

Musical settings
In the Jewish tradition, there are well established and various melodies for the singing of Hallel. Some of the psalms are sung while others are recited silently or under the breath.

In the classical tradition, psalms from the Hallel have been set to music many times, notably:
 * Psalm 114
 * Mendelssohn
 * Josquin des Prez
 * Psalm 115
 * Johann Sebastian Bach in Cantata BWV 196, Der Herr denket an uns, using verses 12–15
 * Psalm 117
 * Antonio Vivaldi
 * Mozart
 * Psalm 118
 * Léonin
 * Pérotin

American composer and conductor Michael Isaacson has composed a full Hallel for SATB chorus, entitled An American Hallel, with interpolations of expressions of praise and gratitude by past and present Americans. It was premiered by the Carolina Master Chorale under the directorship of Tim Koch in the autumn of 2009.

Composer/performer Sam Glaser has also set the Psalms on his CD Hallel.

New Testament
The New Testament accounts of the Last Supper state that Jesus and his disciples "sang a psalm" or "hymn" after the meal before leaving for the Mount of Olives, which may have been the Hallel. The Last Supper is popularly considered to have been a celebration of the Passover, although this is controversial among scholars. Jesus, like any other literate Jew in the first century, may well have known how to chant the Psalms in Hebrew, especially the famous Hallel psalms which were an integral part of the Passover.

Japanese noodles

Noodles are a staple of Japanese cuisine. They are often served chilled with dipping sauces, or in soups or hot dishes. Noodles were introduced to Japan from China during the Song Dynasty between the Heian until the early Kamakura period.

History
Noodles were first discovered in Japan around 800 A.D. during the Heian period (794–1185). This dish was adopted from China and was highly idolized in daily dieting due to the dishes flexibility and multiple different forms of serving options. Later on during the Kamakura period (1185–1333), noodles began to be viewed as a standard dish for most Samurai. This was because the dish met the dietary needs as it was not greasy and was a relatively healthy food.

During the Edo period, specifically between the 1661 to 1672, Soba noodles became popular in restaurants in the capital city of Edo (now Tokyo). It is rumored that it became extremely popular because soba noodles can be served cold, and with all of the fires occurring, the government limited the use of fuel.

Types of Japanese noodles
Ramen are thin, wheat-based noodles made from wheat flour, salt, water, and kansui, a form of alkaline water. The dough is risen before being rolled. They were imported from China during the Meiji period. How it made the jump from China to Japan is still under debate, but it's generally accepted that in 1910 a Chinese restaurant in Yokohama started serving a dish known as lamian.

Ramen noodles have a firm texture and are usually pale yellow in color. The noodles may vary in shape, width, and length. They are served in a broth. Examples of ramen dishes are shōyu ramen, shio ramen, miso ramen, tonkotsu ramen, and curry ramen.

Shirataki are clear noodles made from konnyaku. These noodles are chewy or rubbery. Shirataki are used to add texture to dishes such as sukiyaki and oden.

Soba is a noodle made from buckwheat and wheat flour. Soba noodles are available dried or fresh. They may be served with hot broth or cold with dipping sauce (tsuyu). Examples of soba dishes are zaru soba (chilled), kake soba, tempura soba, kitsune soba, and tororo soba. Although the popular Japanese dish Yakisoba includes "soba" in its name, the dish is made with Chinese-style noodles (chūkamen).

Sōmen noodles are a very thin, white, wheat-based noodle. They are usually served chilled in the summertime with dipping sauces although they may be used in soups and other hot dishes. Sōmen noodles are very similar to hiyamugi and udon noodles, only they are thinner (about 1.3mm in width). Sōmen requires oil in its manufacture. During the summer months Japanese consume chilled sōmen to stay cool.

Hiyamugi are wheat flour noodles similar to sōmen and udon noodles and somewhere in between the two in size. These noodles are often served in the same manner as sōmen and udon noodles. While they are mostly white, there are bundles mixed with noodles of pinkish or brown hues.

Udon are the thickest of the noodles served in Japanese cuisine. Udon are white, wheat-based noodles, that are 4-6mm in width. These noodles are served chilled with a dipping sauce in the summer months, or in hot dishes and soups when the temperature is cooler. Udon dishes include kitsune udon, Nabeyaki udon, curry udon, and yaki udon. However, sara udon is made using a different kind of noodle which is crispy.

There are three nationally recognized regions in Japan known for their Udon noodles: Kagawa (Sanuki udon), Gunma (Mizusawa udon), and Akita (Inaniwa udon). These three regions contributed unique recipes of Udon, as well as different historical and cultural backgrounds of udon production and consumption. In the Kagawa region, it is considered the "kingdom of Sanuki udon" noodle, and has been deemed a symbol of regional identity to revitalize the regional food industry and to promote regional tourism. In the Gunma region, due to the high amount of noodle shops serving udon in the surrounding cities (Mizusawa, Kiryu, and Tatebayashi), Gunma was deemed the best place where visitors can experience the best locally produced udon noodle in Japan.

Harusame are glass noodles made from potato starch. These type of noodles are commonly used in hotpot dishes and salads, and used to create Japanese adaptations of Korean and Chinese noodle dishes. Harusame dishes include harusame salad, which is a cold noodle salad that features three main ingredients of julienned cucumbers, ham, and carrots. Other ingredients can include wakame seaweed, shredded egg omelet, tomatoes, bean sprouts, and more.

Tokoroten are jelly-like slices made of Kanten which comes from the gelatin of the tengusa a native seaweed. This dish was usually a summer time dish as it was composed of about 98% water. Tokoroten dates back to 1658 when an innkeeper discarded some Tokoroten which dried out into strips of Kanten which could be stored and preserved. The dish is typically garnished with soy sauce as well as rice vinegar.

Petersham, New South Wales

Petersham is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Petersham is located 6 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Inner West Council. Petersham is known for its extensive Portuguese commercial offerings, with many Portuguese businesses and restaurants, although only 156 (1.9%) of the population was actually born in Portugal.

Petersham is bordered by the suburbs of Leichhardt to the north, Stanmore to the east, Marrickville to the south and Lewisham to the west. Taverner's Hill, named after Fred Taverner, is a locality in the western part of the suburb.

History
Major Francis Grose sent workmen to the area in 1793 to clear the bush and plant corn and wheat. He named the area Peters-Ham or Petersham after his native village in Surrey, England. Petersham remained an agricultural area, winning awards for some of the best crops and stock in the colony in 1803. Kangaroo hunting was also popular in the area. The name was also used for the surrounding parish.

Statesman William Wentworth and his family lived in Petersham before moving into Vaucluse House, Wentworth selling his property in Petersham to Robert Wardell (1793–1834). Wardell purchased land from many grantees in the district and in 1831 his estate eventually stretched 2000 acre from Petersham to the Cooks River. Following his murder by escaped convicts in 1834, the estate was subdivided. The train line from Sydney to Parramatta opened in 1855 and trains stopped here from 1857. A platform was built in 1863. The original Petersham post office became Annandale in 1855. Another post office opened as Norwood in May 1860 and was moved to Petersham station in 1870. The first public school opened in 1878.

Petersham municipality was incorporated in 1872. The local council merged with Marrickville and St Peters in 1948 to form the Municipality of Marrickville. In 1916, the Boys' section of Fort Street High School moved to Petersham from Observatory Hill, followed by the Girls' section in 1975.

Wartime plane crash
Mosquito HR576 RAF (UK) disintegrated over the inner western Sydney suburbs of Leichhardt and Petersham on 2 May 1945 during an air test flight. The crew of two were killed but no one on the ground was seriously injured by the falling debris of the Mosquito. The Daily Telegraph of 3 May 1945 stated that two civilians were injured and a total of 18 properties were damaged. Five houses were set on fire by the falling debris.

It was suspected that a violent pull out from a power dive, with its associated high 'g' forces may have led to the structural failure of the aircraft. The two crew members tried to escape from the aircraft but they were not high enough for their parachutes to open. Flight Lieutenant David Rochford of Oxford, England, and Leading Aircraftman (LAC) Charles Boydell from Mosman were both killed. Flight Lieutenant Rochford's body was found in the playground of Petersham Public School while LAC Boydell's body was found on the roof of a railway building about 100 metres away.

Stanmore, New South Wales

Stanmore is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia 6 kilometres south west of the Sydney central business district. It is part of the local government area of the Inner West Council. It is known for its long strip of shops running along Parramatta Road (Great Western Highway).

History
Prior to settlement by the British, the site was populated by coastal Aboriginal peoples known as the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. Land in the present Stanmore area was first allocated to colonial officers by Governor Arthur Phillip between 1793 and 1810.

Stanmore was named by a saddler, John Jones, who settled on the land in 1835 where Newington College now stands and called it the Stanmore Estate. Jones named it after his birthplace of Stanmore, now a north-west suburb of London. Thomas Rowley owned Kingston Farm which occupied the eastern half of Stanmore and much of Newtown, and a portion of George Johnston's Annandale Farm estate covered the area south of Parramatta Road containing Annandale House built in 1799 on the hill between Macaulay and Albany Roads. Johnston marched from here with his troops to Castle Hill on 5 March 1804 to quell the convict revolt. He also rode from here on 26 January 1808 to arrest Governor William Bligh during the Rum Rebellion. Johnston planted the first Norfolk pines on the Australian mainland along the line of Percival Road, leading to Parramatta Road.

Stanmore Road was constructed in 1835 and early development occurred in this area. In 1855, the railway divided Stanmore into areas known as North and West Kingston north of the railway, and South Kingston south of the railway. The Kingston Farm had been sold to James Holt in 1835, and North Kingston was subdivided in 1854. South Kingston (between the railway and Stanmore Road) was slowly subdivided from 1857 with isolated large houses built between 1860 and 1870. It was not until the late 19th century that the name Stanmore came into more regular use, replacing Kingston. Municipal boundaries established in 1861 and 1871 placed most of Stanmore into the Municipality of Petersham, with the area south of Stanmore Rd placed into the Municipality of Marrickville. In 1878, Stanmore railway station was established and the streets west of Percival Road were laid out. More intensive development subsequently occurred in this area and the name Stanmore slowly moved northwards from Stanmore to Parramatta Roads. Stanmore became a desirable location, booming in the 1880s and 1890s with the opening of Newington College and the Percival Road shopping area. The naming of streets after English colonies between Derby and Stafford streets reflected the English values of the time. The final subdivision of Johnston's South Annandale estate took place in 1905, and building was not completed until 1916-1918. Annandale House was demolished in 1905, and Weekley Park was established on land donated by the Johnston family.

A small amount of light industry was established in the early 1920s in the area close to Parramatta Road, including H. Small and Co., a chocolate maker opening in 1928, and Starkeys Cordials. Both establishments have since closed and their premises have been converted into offices and apartments.

Today, Stanmore endures as a leafy suburb and retains a set of grand old homes in High Victorian Italianate style.

Schools
Stanmore is home to Newington College, an independent GPS boys school, the state primary Stanmore Public School and Saint Michael's Catholic Primary School Stanmore.

Both Newington and Stanmore Public are of heritage significance and the main buildings of distinguished designs. Of Newington's design by Thomas Rowe the architectural historian Morton Herman said: The 1881 building is an almost perfect example of scholastic Gothic Revival architecture.

Of Stanmore Public School's design by Blackmann and Parkes Herman said: ... the whole building is a very pleasant essay in correct and simple classicism, with the triple stairs giving unexpected dignity.

Sport and recreation
Apart from the private facilities at Newington College, sporting and recreation facilities in Stanmore are limited to a handful of small parks and playgrounds including Weekley Park, Crammond Park and Montague Gardens. Stanmore does lend its name, however, to the Stanmore Hawks soccer club which plays in the NSW State League Division One, the third tier of senior soccer in Sydney.
