Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge

The Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (often shortened to Alaska Maritime or AMNWR) is a United States National Wildlife Refuge comprising 2,400 islands, headlands, rocks, islets, spires and reefs in Alaska, with a total area of 4.9 e6acre, of which 2.64 e6acre is wilderness. The refuge stretches from Cape Lisburne on the Chukchi Sea to the tip of the Aleutian Islands in the west and Forrester Island in the southern Alaska Panhandle region in the east. The refuge has diverse landforms and terrains, including tundra, rainforest, cliffs, volcanoes, beaches, lakes, and streams.

Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge is well known for its abundance of seabirds. About 75 percent of Alaskan native marine birds, 15 to 30 million among 55 species, use the refuge. AMNWR also provides a nesting habitat for an estimated 40 million seabirds, representing 80 percent of all seabirds in North America. The birds congregate in "bird cities" (colonies) along the coast. Each species has a specialized nesting site (rock ledge, crevice, boulder rubble, pinnacle, or burrow). Other animals present in this refuge include caribou, sea lions, bears, coyotes, seals, Canada lynx, beavers, foxes, muskrats, wolf packs, moose, walrus, river otters, marten, whales, Dall sheep and sea otters.

The administrative headquarters and visitor center are located in Homer, Alaska. In 1968, Simeonof National Wildlife Refuge, part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, was designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service.

Administration
The refuge is divided into five units. Clockwise around Alaska, starting in the southeast, their component territories include:

Space Brat

The Space Brat book series includes Space Brat, Space Brat 2: Blork's Evil Twin, Space Brat 3: The Wrath of Squat, Space Brat 4: Planet of the Dips, and Space Brat 5: The Saber-toothed Poodnoobie.

Writing
According to comments from the author, Bruce Coville, the first Space Brat story version was written in 1977. He intended to make it a picture book, and his wife (Katherine Coville) even drew a few sample illustrations. The editor disagreed with this idea, however, saying he "didn't think kids would be interested in reading about a noseless green humanoid from outer space." Ironically, this was a few years before Steven Spielberg's movie E.T. was released.

Plot
The series revolves around Blork, a young alien who lives on the planet Splat where children are hatched instead of born and remain quiet for three months until they eventually learn to get up and walk. In the case of Blork, a piece of his shell got stuck behind his ear resulting in him crying non-stop at the nursery where he was hatched. Because children on Splat are not expected to cry, one of the robots stuck a label on his forehead, categorizing him as a "Brat." Eventually the eggshell fell away, but having cried for so long Blork never got the same amount of sleep as the other children and was slightly crankier. Because he was categorized as a brat early on, many inhabitants of Splat came to expect him to be one and would always blame him for things that weren't necessarily his fault. Over time, the things he wasn't responsible for resulted in Blork getting punished. Eventually, the constant blame causes Blork to throw a tantrum. At school, the principal calls for the Head Man--someone who handles such situations. The Head Man suggests that rather than punish Blork, people should be more sympathetic to him in order to improve his development as a youth. Paired with the previous punishments, as well as not being punished in the future Blork decides to take advantage of this by actually pulling pranks. As Blork got worse, his tantrums got better. However, on one occasion where he was given a D grade in class--Blork attempted to throw a tantrum, which ultimately doesn't work.

The next day, Blork decides to take his pet poodnoobie Lunk to show and tell. When Blork was young, he had found Lunk by accident as he was an unhatched egg that took too long to hatch, resulting in Lunk's mother abandoning him when her other children hatched. Blork had taken this remaining egg, thinking it was bad, and threw it against a rock, resulting in tiny baby poodnoobie rolling out. At the time, it was so small it fit inside the palm of Blork's hand and feeling guilty, Blork decided to adopt it and name it Lunk. Poodnoobies resemble dogs, with the exception being that they have purple fur, three tongues and six legs. While poodnoobies are notorious for growing to giant proportions, the nursery rules allow Splatoon children to have one pet each as long as they care for it. Over time, Lunk grows into a giant pet. At school, Lunk gets distracted by a flying bug and ends up destroying the classroom by accident. This causes the teacher, Modra Ploogsik, to call the Big Pest Squad to take Lunk away where he will be vaporized like other troublesome animals. Feeling responsible for this, Blork decides to immediately run away during class and stowaway on the van carrying Lunk until they reach the Big Pest Squad compound. There, he steals a rocket car and manages to scoop up Lunk using the net function of the vehicle. Reunited, Blork decides to run away with Lunk to deep space. Due to not knowing his way, they end up landing in an unknown place that is inhabited by "Things" which resemble giant lizards.

Eventually, the two are brought before the leader of the Things, a short man calling himself Squat who decides to make both Blork and Lunk slaves. When Blork throws a tantrum, Squant is impressed and wants Blork to teach him how to throw one. Blork refuses, and both he and Lunk get imprisoned for some time. During the course of his imprisonment, Blork is subjected to various slave labor that include feeding creatures and cleaning the castle. At this time, he also slowly learns the language of the Things as well as their history of how Squat came to imprison their kind through the use of a vaporizing gun. Blork also learns how to control his emotions. Eventually, Blork is summoned to Squat again, who wants one of the Thing cooks to prepare Lunk as a meal. Blork is against this, and throws his biggest tantrum. Even more impressed than last time, Squat makes a deal with Blork that if he teaches him how to throw this tantrum he will allow both he and Lunk to go free. Blork agrees, and teaches Squat how to throw a big tantrum. Unfortunately, Squat reneges on the deal but that doesn't keep Blork and Lunk from attempting to leave. This causes Squat to throw the same tantrum that Blork taught. Blork is reminded of all the times he threw a tantrum, and decides enough is enough. He takes advantage of this to steal the gun that Squat left on the throne and tosses it to one of the Things, who promptly destroys is. Now powerless, Squat is lifted by one of the things and tossed out the window where he lands in the water of the moat below. He survives, but leaves.

Blork, Lunk, and all the Things throw a celebration that night but Blork realizes that despite all this he is homesick. The Things eventually help him pack for his journey home (including half of Squat's broken gun) and send him off on the rocket car that Blork had stolen earlier. On his way back, Blork realizes that they never left for deep space--they had actually went into the unexplored zone of the planet Splat. Upon arriving at his nursery, one of the Childkeeper robots is elated to see Blork return. Leaving Lunk home, both Blork and the Childkeeper pay a visit to Modra Ploogsik who is also glad to see Blork. Blork pleads his case with Modra Ploogsik to call off the Big Pest Squad, taking responsibility for his actions and volunteering to do a lot of work to make up for all the trouble he had caused. This unexpected apology causes Modra to faint and the Childkeeper to wonder if Blork is the same Blork that was in his care. Blork then proceeds to tell his story of what happened. Eventually, Blork does plead his case to the Big Pest Squad with a lot of apologies and patience with success, even returning the rocket car he had stolen. At the end of the story, Blork returns home and calls for Lunk--who excitedly races to him and licks his face with all three tongues.

Space Brat 2: Blork's Evil Twin

Blork and his classmates take a trip to a museum that showcases various Splatoonian inventions. The class troublemaker, Appus Meeko, hooks Blork's female crush to a machine that makes them large. Blork saves her, but cannot prove that Appus Meeko was responsible. While there, Blork accidentally finds his way into a forbidden room containing a seemingly harmless copying machine and decides to copy himself. While nothing happens, he returns home and discovers that he's getting blamed for several instances. Blork realizes that the copy machine created a mischievous clone of himself named Krolb and also realizes that it extracted all the negative qualities of Blork's personality and is running amok. In some cases, any action Blork does, Krolb does the opposite. Krolb also stole an experimental shrinking device and plans to use it on the entire city. Blork, aided by one of his classmates, Moomie Peevik--decide to go after Krolb and try to use reverse psychology to prevent Krolb from using the shrinking device. However, they are unsuccessful until Blork throws a tantrum, which ends up fusing him and Krolb back whole again. At Krolb's lair, they also encounter a creature that gets shrunk with the shrinking device, and it becomes Moomie Peevik's new pet. The story ends with the mayor of the city wanting to congratulate Blork by awarding him with a medal for saving the city. This also makes Appus Meeko jealous.

Space Brat 3: The Wrath of Squat

Before the ceremony to award Blork can happen, Squat returns in a large spaceship and abducts Blork, Lunk, Appus Meeko, along with Moomie Peevik and her pet and returns to a planet that he rules, in which the inhabitants are composed of nothing but angry people. When in captivity, they meet a strange scientist who works for Squat, but who also decides to help them escape. They manage to flee Squat's spider henchmen, eventually finding themselves in a city. Squat tracks them down, but Blork throws a huge tantrum which still proves to be better than Squat's and as a result the inhabitants want Blork to rule them instead. Blork declines, and instead decides to let Squat rule as his proxy. In the event that Squat is not doing his job, Blork says he will return--so the two agree that he will do his job without any issues. In exchange, Squat gives Blork his spaceship. Squat's former scientist also tags along, feeling that he never really fit with the planet and its inhabitants. As they prepare to head home, the scientist decided to experiment with the ship by connecting two different wires, causing the spaceship to malfunction.

Space Brat 4: Planet of the Dips

As a result of the malfunction, Blork and his friends end up traveling to the planet of the dips due to the presence of a stowaway named Skippy. Thereis a parody character based on Obi-Wan Kenobi who helps Blork find a way back home. Blork's pet Lunk, also gets confused with a ruler--and is not allowed to leave. This is due to a buried statue on the beach that resembles Lunk. Blork also participates in a contest to keep Lunk, involving throwing tomato-like fruits and trying to keep a sash clean. He loses, but is still permitted a request. He decides to use it to get all the inhabitants of the Dips to unearth the statue resembling Lunk and they discover it to be a Dip riding a Poodnoobie. One of the Dips happens to resemble one of the Dips, and they decide to make that Dip a ruler. With their ship repaired and ready to return home, they try to recreate the same steps they used and swap out Skippy's position with Appus Meeko. At the last moment, Moomie Peevik's pet ends up with Appus, causing the method to be disrupted.

Space Brat 5: The Saber-toothed Poodnoobie

Blork and his friends had attempted to return home using the same method that was used when Skippy was in the spaceship's closet. While they are successful in getting back to the planet Splat, they realize that they had time-traveled millions of years to Splat in the past. This was because of Moomie Peevik's pet, that had wandered into the closet. Appus Meeko was being used as a focal means to return home, and the pet interfered. Throughout the story, Blork meets a variety of prehistoric creatures and a Yoda-like character who advises him to not change the future by taking anything from the past with him. At the end of the book, Blork and his friends finally get back to Splat in their own time but find that they had missed the medal ceremony. When they return to their home, they find a statue that was created in their honor due to their prolonged absence. Two of their other acquaintances, remove the medal and rightfully place it around Blork. Blork decides instead to hang the medal inside their spaceship as a testament to everything he and his friends had gone through. At the end, they decide to go on another adventure. This time, everything goes right.

Reviews
In its review of Space Brat 4: Planet of the Dips, School Library Journal stated that "Beginning readers with a passion for weird words, stupid jokes, and odd behavior will find happiness in this light and lively addition to the series."

Saved game

A saved game (also called a game save, savegame, savefile, save point, or simply save) is a piece of digitally stored information about the progress of a player in a video game.

From the earliest games in the 1970s onward, game platform hardware and memory improved, which led to bigger and more complex computer games, which, in turn, tended to take more and more time to play them from start to finish. This naturally led to the need to store in some way the progress, and how to handle the case where the player received a "game over". More modern games with a heavier emphasis on storytelling are designed to allow the player many choices that impact the story in a profound way later on, and some game designers do not want to allow more than one save game so that the experience will always be "fresh".

Game designers allow players to prevent the loss of progress in the game (as might happen after a game over). Games designed this way encourage players to 'try things out', and on regretting a choice, continue from an earlier point on.

Although the feature of save games often allows for gameplay to resume after a game over, a notable exception is in games where save games are deleted when it is game over. Several names are used to describe this feature, including "permadeath", "iron man", and "hardcore", and the feature has developed over the years from being the only kind of save system per game to the more modern 'suspend game' feature among regular save points. For online games, the game's progress is maintained on the remote server. In some games, upon resuming the game from a save game, the software locks or marks the save game. Early examples include Moria and Diablo II "hardcore" mode where the character save game is managed by the server. The use of saved games is very common in modern video games, particularly in role-playing video games, which are usually much too long to finish in a single session.

Overview and history
In early video games, there was no need for saving games, since these games usually had no actual plot to develop and were generally very short in length.

Classic arcade video games from the golden age of arcade video games did not save the player's progress towards completing the game, but rather high scores, custom settings, and other features. The first game to save the player's score was Taito's seminal 1978 shoot 'em up title Space Invaders.

The relative complexity and inconvenience of storing game state information on early home computers (and the fact that early video game consoles had no non-volatile data storage) meant that initially game saves were represented as "passwords" (often strings of characters that encoded the game state) that players could write down and later input into the game when resuming.

BYTE magazine stated in 1981, regarding the computer text adventure Zork I's save-game feature, that "while some cowards use it to retain their hard-earned position in the game before making some dangerous move", it was intended to let players play over many weeks. InfoWorld disagreed that year, stating that save games "allow users to experiment with different approaches to the same situation". Home computers in the early 1980s had the advantage of using external media for saving, with compact cassettes and floppy disks, before finally using internal hard drives.

For later cartridge-based console games, such as The Legend of Zelda and Kirby's Adventure, saved games were stored in battery-backed random-access memory on the game cartridge itself. Pop and Chips (1985) for the Super Cassette Vision was the first-ever game to allow saving game progress on a video game console, using an AA battery on the game cassette.

In modern consoles, which use disks for storing games, saved games are stored in other ways, such as by use of memory cards or internal hard drives on the game machine itself. The use of memory cards for saving game data dates back to SNK's cartridge-based Neo Geo arcade system and home console in 1990.

Depending on the game, a player will have the ability to save the game either at any arbitrary point (usually when the game has been paused), after a specific task has been completed (such as at the end of a level), or at designated areas within the game known as save points.

The available ways to save a game affect gameplay, and can represent a practice of players or an explicit decision by designers to give the game a particular feel or alter its difficulty.

Time and location of saving
A video game may allow the user to save at any point of the game at any time. There are also modified versions of this. For example, in the GameCube game Eternal Darkness, the player can save at almost any time, but only if no enemies are in the room. To make gaming more engaging, some video games may impose a limit on the number of times a player saves the game. For instance, IGI 2 allows only a handful of saves in each mission; Max Payne 2 imposes this restriction on the highest level of difficulty.

Some video games only allow the game to be saved at predetermined points in the game, called save points. (Not to be confused with "checkpoints".) Save points are employed either because the game is too complex to allow saving at any given point or to attempt to make the game more challenging by forcing the player to rely on their skills instead of on the ability to retry indefinitely. Save points are easier to program and thus attractive from a development standpoint.

Some games use a hybrid system where both save anywhere and save points are used. For example, Final Fantasy VII permits saving anywhere when the player is traveling on the world map, but once the player enters a location (e.g. town, cavern or forest), saving is only possible at save points.

Savescumming
Overusing saved games may be seen as unfair and in such a context is referred to as "savescumming". Savescumming makes losing a game impossible because whenever the player loses or is about to lose, a savegame is loaded, effectively turning back time to the situation before the loss. In a video game, this could for example be done when the player loses a battle/race, misses the best performance grading for a level (such as an S-rank) or runs into an unwinnable situation by losing anyone or anything needed to continue and win. For example, in a game that features a casino, the player could save the game and then bet all their in-game money on black at a roulette table. If the outcome is black, their money is doubled and the player saves the game again. If the outcome is red (or green), the player disregards this outcome by reloading their last savegame. This allows for an indefinite winning streak.

Game programmers may defend against savescumming by various means, such as checking timestamps. For example, on multiuser Unix systems, NetHack uses setgid to prevent users from copying save files into the necessary directory. Another technique is to use a deterministic, seeded pseudorandom number generator, so that undesired random outcomes cannot be avoided simply by saving and reloading. In this situation, when the player reloads a saved game, 'random' events will occur identically every time – the only way to get a different outcome is to play differently.

Savescumming is made an in-built feature in most game emulators. In this case, a savegame with a loss condition used in this way is usually referred to as a "save state".

Autosave
Game saving does not need to be manual. Some video games save the game in progress automatically, such as after the pass of a fixed amount of time, at certain predetermined points in the game as an extension to the save point concept, or when the player exits.

Some games only permit "suspend saves" in which the game is automatically saved upon exiting and reloaded upon restarting. The aim of a suspend save is only to allow the gameplay to be temporarily interrupted; as such, suspend saves are erased when the player resumes the game. This concept was popularized by Rogue and the namesake genre, which are known for employing the mechanic such that if the player were to die in the game, their save file is deleted and the game must be restarted. The term "perma-death" would come to refer to the concept used for that purpose. It is possible to cheat the system by copying and reusing suspend save files in an act of what is considered to be a form of savescumming.

Checkpoints
"Checkpoints" are locations in a video game where a player character respawns after death. Characters generally respawn at the last checkpoint that they have reached. A respawn is most often due to the death of the in-game character, but it can also be caused by the failure to meet an objective required to advance in the game. Checkpoints might be temporary, as they stop working when the player loses their last life, completes or quits the level, especially in platform games. Most modern games, however, save the game to memory at these points, known as auto-saving.

Checkpoints might be visible or invisible to the player. Visible checkpoints might give a player a sense of security when activated, but in turn sacrifice some immersion, as checkpoints are intrinsically "gamey" and might even need an explanation of how they work. Invisible checkpoints do not break immersion but make players unsure of where they will respawn. Usually, if a player does get a game over, then their progress will be lost, and the player would lose all of their checkpoints.

Quick-saving
Quick-saving and quick-loading allow the player to save or load the game with a single keystroke. These terms are used to differentiate between the traditional saving mechanism where the player is required to invoke a menu or dialog box, issue save the order, specify a title for the game being saved and, if applicable, confirm whether an old saved game file with the same title should be overwritten. The term "quick save" may be used in video games that lack the traditional saving mechanism altogether.

The advantage of quick saving is its low burden: The player only has to press a button and, if applicable, wait a few seconds. The disadvantage is the automatic loss of the previous quick-saved game. Games that only offer quick saving may be impossible to play by two different players (or more) unless there is a mechanism to distinguish players, such as user accounts. Leaving the decision of when to save up to the player increases the likelihood that a save will be made during a less than favourable game state. A quicksave shortly before an event which kills the player creates what is known as a death loop.

Password
Passwords are a form of saved game not stored on non-volatile memory. Instead, everything needed to reconstruct the game state is encoded in and displayed on-screen as a string of text, usually comprising random alphanumeric characters, and the player can then record or memorize it. The player may later resume play from that point by entering the same password. Passwords were widely used by home console games before the advent of non-volatile memory and later internal and external storage.

Save states
A "save state" is a form of a saved game in emulators. A save state is generated when the emulator stores the contents of random-access memory of an emulated program to disk. Save states enable players to save their games even when the emulated game or system does not support the feature. For instance, save states may be used to circumvent saving restrictions or as a savescumming technique. An associated concept is save state hacking, the practice of which uses a hex editor to modify the save states to alter gameplay conditions, usually in favor of the player. Save states are comparable to snapshots of a computer system's state or hibernation in computing, with save states being a limited form of snapshots.

Save states have started to receive mainstream usage in the early 2010s with Nintendo's Virtual Console. Some Wii U and 3DS Virtual Console titles allow players to save a "restore point," which is like a quick save but has no restrictions on reloading. Although likely derived from quick saves, restore points are functionally identical to save states, and can be used for many of the same purposes.

Presentation
Game designers often attempt to integrate the save points into the style of the game using skeuomorphism. Resident Evil represents save points with old fashioned typewriters (which require an ink ribbon item for each save), the Grand Theft Auto series used representations appropriate to the era of the setting: cassette tapes for the mid-1980s (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City), 3½-inch disks for the early-1990s (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas), and compact discs for the late-1990s (Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories).

Although save points are typically seen as boons, some games have traps which use this tendency to fool the player. In Chrono Trigger, attempting to use a fake save point in Magus's castle can actually bring the party into battle.

Some games employ limits to saving in order to prevent players from using them as a primary means of succeeding in the game. In Tomb Raider save points are consumed upon use, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest charges two banana coins to use a save point more than once, and in Resident Evil the player must find and expend an ink ribbon for each save.

In some games, save games or save points are part of the plot. In Chrono Cross, save points are called Records of Fate, managed by an entity called FATE, an antagonist that uses the save points to control people. In Anonymous;Code, the protagonist Pollon Takaoka has a unique ability to save and load save games, which is central to the plot and the main game mechanic.

Another way saved games interact with each other is through passing along data to sequels. A famous example of this is the first three installments of the Wizardry series. To play the second and third installments, players needed to import the characters they'd used in the previous installment, which retained all experience and equipment gained in that installment. Later versions of the games made this feature optional, as do franchises such as the Fire Emblem, Shenmue and .hack series. Video games may also take the saved games of other video games into account; for example, the character Rosalina becomes available on Mario Kart Wii if there is a Super Mario Galaxy save on the console. The save game of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition can be imported to the Remix version of the game.

Save sharing
For many years, sharing game saves among friends has been very common. From trading passwords to swapping memory cards, gamers have always been able to help each other out to unlock features in a game. With the rise of the Internet, platforms like YourSavesGames.com have facilitated the sharing of save games among online communities, creating a space for gamers to share their in-game progression with other fellow gamers in a simple way and providing the right instructions. However, with the inclusion of a progress meter or "gamerscore" that tracks player progress in games for the Xbox 360, many players are beginning to view those who load other people's files onto their systems as "cheaters". Some games such as Grand Theft Auto IV attempt to prevent the use of saved games made by other users. In contrast, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages actively encourages players that have completed the game to share their progress with others via a password swapping side quest that is available after finishing the main story.

Arcade games
Saved games have generally been rare at arcades, but have found some use, notably in the Konami e-Amusement system, Bandai Namco's Bandai Namco Passport, or Banapassport system, or by the use of PlayStation cards, as in Dance Dance Revolution. These generally use either a magnetic card to store the data, a card that stores data through network (internet) connection or through a server, or some combination thereof. Similarly, passwords have generally been rare at arcades, with occasional exceptions, such as Gauntlet Legends.

Land of Israel
Land of Israel was added by me.-- HIZKIAH (User • Talk) 15:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Renewal?
How is renewal judaism a den.? Isn't it just another hasidic den.? And shouldn't Dor Daim be included? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.206.248.147 (talk) 13:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

Criticism link
I propose adding a link to the criticism page. Back in December, the Mormonism, Buddhism, and Islam templates all had links to their specific criticism page, however Islam removed their citing this template as precedent. Ironically, someone wanted to include the Criticism of Christianity link on the Christianity template, and cited those as precedent. If this is going to be a matter of "Well the Jews don't have the link, so why should we" or "The Mormons have the link, so should the Muslims" etc, we should decided as a whole whether links to these criticism pages are appropriate for the parent religion templates. I believe that all religion templates should have a link to the parent criticism page (if one exists), and that is what I am proposing here. What do we think?-Andrew c 00:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I won't have a problem. Criticism and kvetching is our favorite activity anyway. ←Humus sapiens ну? 00:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your comment. A centralized discussion on this general topic can be found at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Criticism link on religion navigational boxes. -Andrew c 03:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The discussion was in favor of adding criticism links to appropriate infoboxes across the board. However, I do not know the best placement for this link. I was thinking somewhere under the Judaism/core principals header would be best, but if someone else wants to try and place it, please be my guest.-Andrew c 02:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Criticism of Judaism already has been added to Judaism and I think it is indeed appropriate there, because that TL is dedicated to religious topics. I am not sure whether the Criticism link really belongs here, because this particular TL is more about history rather than strictly religion. At least, I can think of a few links more relevant to Jews and Jewish history than religious Criticism of Judaism. ←Humus sapiens ну? 04:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

1) Duplicate link to the Holocaust and 2) Is Ten Lost Tribes an ethnic division?
Two unrelated topics: I have removed both for now, thus saving 2 lines. ←Humus sapiens ну? 01:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) There is no reason to duplicate the same link. I propose either to replace the 2nd instance with Final Solution or remove it.
 * 2) Do the lost ten tribes belong in the template next to Ashkenazi · Sephardi · Mizrahi? In any case, if we include the lost ancient tribes, then maybe Israelites deserve to be included? ←Humus sapiens ну? 01:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

change of order
Since Jewish political movements are very recent historical phenomenon, and Jewish history and persecution are very old, I'm moving Jewish political movements to the end. Yehoishophot Oliver 15:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Languages
Do we really need all those languages? They certainly seem less relevant than the other sections.

I think the bottom two lines of the languages section could easily come off. Is there anyone who objects to this? --Eliyak T · C 21:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm going to go ahead and remove those lines. --Eliyak T · C 17:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

What's with the massive whitespace on the right side of the template?
Does anyone else see it? And why on Earth does it show up? It's so annoying. Lockesdonkey (talk) 04:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

China
Is the mention of China necessary in the 'Population (Historical)' section? It isn't historically an established religion just as it is in say India or Iran etc. It’s just not something that’s been relatively recent, and the alleged 'history' is still rather dubious according to many sources, I think it should be removed from the list. Smarred Wolet (talk) 20:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Little problem
Check out the template here, why are the images scaled non-uniformly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fixman (talk • contribs) 16:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Expandable version
I've put together a version which makes use of Navbox with collapsible groups to considerably shrink the template's footprint. Here it is (code is at User:Eliyak/work/jew):

One great feature is that a section can be automatically focused. For example, produces:

--Eliyak T · C 17:36, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Lack of comments means I am moving ahead with the change. If it proves unpopular, it can always be reverted. --Eliyak T · C 01:54, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

 * How about this version, which uses Sidebar with collapsible lists..? It's also a little thinner, for the sake of smaller windows/screens:

 * Should be possible to tweak any unfancied styling. The template page would also include collapsible lists option, i.e.

 * Sardanaphalus (talk) 19:52, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Have implemented the above. Sardanaphalus (talk) 02:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Menorah?
Is it really neccessary for a menorah to be used in the template. For one, Hanukkah is a very unimportant holiday in Judaism, and most would not celebrate it if not for its proximity to Christmas. Secondly, A picture of a Torah would do the job much better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.194.203.128 (talk) 03:00, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

 * It's a picture of a seven-branched menorah, an ancient symbol of Judaism, not a nine-branched hanukiah (Hanukkah menorah). — Malik Shabazz 03:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Texts need to be edited.
Ehm, the Tanya should not be on this list. Nor should the Tur or Zohar IMO but that is up to discussion. 93.172.54.207 (talk) 18:09, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Could you explain why you feel that way? — Malik Shabazz 18:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

These books only represent segments of Judaism. This template is universal and should not contain information relavent only to some segments. 12:11, 18 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.118.11.112 (talk)

Archive
This page is 71 kilobytes long. Some discussion dated back to three years ago. Obviously older discussion should be archived like Template talk:Jew/Archive01. Will anyone do so? --Quest for Truth (talk) 03:51, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Done. — Malik Shabazz 04:01, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Good work, as always! --AFriedman (talk) 04:26, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Edit request from 70.233.168.71, 21 July 2010

Samaritan
Could someobdy add Samaritan to the list of denominations please? thanks 84.13.28.220 (talk) 09:26, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Samaritans are not Jews.GreyShark (dibra) 12:45, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Messianic Judaism
Please add Messianic as one of the denominations of Jews. Messianic Jews are one of the largest growing denominations of Jews in Israel and the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.170.115 (talk) 14:42, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Please read Wikipedia's article about Messianic Judaism. It isn't considered Judaism by any of the major Jewish religious movements, which means it has no place in a template about Judaism. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:56, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Messianic Jews might be considered a related group to Jews, but it has a very fluent ethnic definition merging into multiple nationals adopting it, rather that ethnic Jews, practicing Christianity.Greyshark09 (talk) 18:06, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Jewish "ethnicities"
"Ethnicities" renamed into "communities", since Jews are an ethno-religious community with single Jewish ethnicity and sub-groups within. Related ethno-religious groups (Khazars, Samaritans, Lembas) were separated from ethnically Jewish (Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, Yemenite) communities in the bar.Greyshark09 (talk) 18:13, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Leadership
I propose deletion of the leadership section. There are only about 25 people listed, any any listing is bound to be very incomplete and extremely subjective. ypnypn (talk) 16:52, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Changed it to Prominent figures. DaoXan (DaoXan) 10:10, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 12 November 2019
The wiki page on skeksis ( movie character) there is large sections about jews. It seems to be placed there on accident 75.134.99.19 (talk) 17:40, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

 * ❌. I can't find anything here that refers to what you're talking about.  What do you mean? –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 19:14, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Population topic
Hi, I was wondering if in the Population section we could instead have North America and South America rather than North America and Latin America and the Caribbean. There are countries in Latin America that also belong to North America so it makes no sense to have one section be geographic (North America) and the other geo-linguistic (Latin America). It's too arbitrary. Mexico, for example, belongs to both North America and Latin America. All the other regions are entirely geographic (Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, etc) but for some reason only Latin America is geo-linguistic. DemianStratford (talk) 05:57, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

 * — Guarapiranga ☎ 07:18, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

CBVT-DT

CBVT-DT, virtual channel 11.1 (UHF digital channel 25), branded on-air as ICI Québec, is an Ici Radio-Canada Télé owned-and-operated station licensed to Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The station is owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (known in French as Société Radio-Canada). CBVT-DT's studios are located on Rue Saint-Jean and Aut Dufferin Montmorency in the Quebec City borough of La Cité-Limoilou, and its transmitter is located on Avenue de la Montagne/Dumont Belair Ouest in Val-Bélair. On cable, the station is available on Vidéotron channel 2 and in high definition on digital channel 602. On satellite, it is carried on Bell Satellite TV channel 111 and in high definition on channel 1813.

History
The station, built and signed on by Radio-Canada itself, first aired on September 3, 1964. Quebec City's previous Radio-Canada affiliate CFCM-TV became an independent station for a few years before becoming one of the co-founders of TVA in 1971.

The station moved into new studios in 2004, uniting all of CBC/Radio-Canada's staff in Quebec City.

Programming
For the network, the station produces La semaine verte, an hour-long weekly newsmagazine about agriculture and rural life, and Second regard, a half-hour program exploring religion and spirituality.

For local programming, an evening newscast under the title Le Téléjournal/Québec, airs weekdays at 6:00 p.m.; a weekday noon newscast, Le Téléjournal midi/Québec et Est du Québec, is shared with Radio-Canada's group of stations in Eastern Quebec.

Digital television
After the analogue-to-digital conversion which took place on August 31, 2011, CBVT-DT stayed at its pre-transition position on channel 12, allowing CBVE-TV, a repeater of CBMT-DT Montreal, to move from channel 5 to channel 11. Because of potential interference from CFCF-DT in Montreal (which moved its digital signal to channel 12 on the transition date) and reception problems, CBVT-DT moved to channel 25 in December 2011. Channel 25 was previously used by CIVQ-DT, a local digital repeater of Télé-Québec.

Transmitters
CBVT had seven analogue television rebroadcasters in the communities near Quebec City.

Due to federal funding reductions to the CBC, in April 2012, the CBC responded with substantial budget cuts, which included shutting down CBC's and Radio-Canada's remaining analogue transmitters on July 31, 2012. None of CBC or Radio-Canada's television re-transmitters were converted to digital.

CBVT's main transmitter site for Quebec City is located at Mount Bélair.

Unverified images
Hi! Thanks for uploading the following images:

 * Image:Dietsland.jpg
 * Image:Dgb.gif

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License,  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 04:50, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

Fair use rationale for Image:Vlagvlaanderengroot.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Vlagvlaanderengroot.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 01:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Vlagvlaanderengroot.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Vlagvlaanderengroot.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 01:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

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

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:10, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Vlagvlaanderengroot.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 05:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Josv~enwiki

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Josv. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Josv~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:46, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 14:36, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Elastic band-zu.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Elastic band-zu.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:SpaceBrat.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:SpaceBrat.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 05:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Rudi Dutschke

Translation issue
I am having a hard time translating this quote, Dutschke's diary entry from Easter 1963, from the German version of this article. Perhaps someone can help with the second sentence:

"Jesus ist auferstanden, Freude und Dankbarkeit sind die Begleiter dieses Tages; die Revolution, die entscheidende Revolution der Weltgeschichte ist geschehen, die Revolution der Welt durch die alles überwindende Liebe. Nähmen die Menschen voll die offenbarte Liebe im Für-sich-Sein an, die Wirklichkeit des Jetzt, die Logik des Wahnsinns könnte nicht mehr weiterbestehen"

--Erauch 04:57, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

(sorry for the late reply) the 2nd sentence means about this: "If all people accepted this love (of Jesus), this reality (and) the logic of madness wouldn't continue to exist" (clem 07:32, 12 August 2005 (UTC))

 * Even later: A better translation - even if not quite idiomatic - might be: "if people accepted fully the manifested love for its own sake, the current reality (and) the logic of madness could not exist anymore." --84.180.172.33 (talk) 22:33, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Assassination and "culprit"
"...a young unskilled worker who was influenced by the massive propaganda campaign of the mass media owned by Axel Springer..." -

I agree with the content, but it sounds a lot like POV to me - where's the proof, references that this was the case? (clem 07:32, 12 August 2005 (UTC))

I wholeheartedly agree. Somewhat biased. More suitable for the Tageszeitung, nicht?

 * I have found an article in The Nation, which corroborates this. The evidence presented at the trial of Josef Bachmann also tends to corroborate the allegation. However, I've not named Bachmann in the article. I've also stated that this was a widespread belief among radical students and that it led to street-fighting in many German cities, which I think is relevant information, since it shows how important people considered Dutschke to be. --Mia-etol (talk) 23:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Rudi Dutschke's name; role of Springer Press in assassination
Being Rudi Dutschke's wife I have his birth certificate and thus his birth name, Alfred Willi Rudi Dutschke. His name was never Rudolf. At the trial against Joseph Bachmann, the main argument of the lawyer Horst Mahler was that it was not so much Bachmann, but rather the Springer Press that was guilty in the assasination. I do not have the documents from that trial, but they must be available for anyone interested in that question. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GretchenD (talk • contribs) 7 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Is there a way that you could make this information verifiable for us by providing a source we can access? The German article also has "Rudolf". Kusma (討論) 00:20, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I have published this information in my book about Rudi Dutschke called Rudi Dutschke: Wir hatten ein barbarisches, schoenes Leben by Gretchen Dutschke published 1996 in Koeln. I have changed Rudi's name in the German article a number of times but someone always puts it back. I'll try again.

// Hello all,

I just checked book catalogues online. That book apparently appeared in two edtions, first by Knaur publishers (German article) in München ("Munich" by English tongues) in 1998, and then by Kipenheuer & Witsch publishers (German article) in Köln ("Cologne") in 2007; both times with 511 pages. Both are large well-known publishers in large German cities. It is also available at quite a number of large libraries (including University libraries) in various regions of Germany, as well as in Austria, France and Britain (yes, I DID check the European catalogue network myself just now, so that isn't based on hear-say). So it seems to be a reliable and available source of information and hence meet your requirements.

The author even has a small article about herself on German Wikipedia (German article on Gretchen Dutschke). Her books are also offered by online book sellers' catalogues in Germany, where one can find them described.

P.S.: Please, Madam, be so kind and sign your comments on talk pages, as we others do. - Nice to meet you here for the first time ever ! 147.142.186.54 (talk) 17:01, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

P.P.S.: The German article on R.D. does now show the same name as this one here: "Rudi...".147.142.186.54 (talk) 17:01, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

PHOTOS OF RUDI DUTSCHKE
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I put several photos of Rudi Dutschke which I took myself in the Wikipedia photo archive. One of them was also on the Rudi Dutschke page. They seem to all have been removed. Please return them to the archive and the one that was on the RD page should be returned to the page. These photos were taken by myself and I explicitely gave WIKIPEDIA the right to use them when I put them in the archive. They should not have been removed.

Removed nonsensical passage, added tags
I have deleted references to Dutschke's role in the founding of the Green Party. There is only one short paragraph to support the claim, and it is nonsensical.

"Rudi Dutschke recovered almost sufficiently [sic] to play an essential role in the 1980 formation of the Green Party of Germany by convincing the former student protesters (including Joschka Fischer) to join the Green movement. As a result in October, 1979 the Greens were able to reach the 5% limit required to obtain parliamentary seats in the Bremen provincial election."

This passage has the Greens winning seats (1979) before it was formed (1980).

"...recovered almost sufficiently to play an esential role"? "Almost sufficiently " means that he did not recover sufficiently.

Also, there is no citation for the assertion that Dutschke "convinced" student protesters. The way it is written this passage does not at all support the assertion made at the top, that Dutschke "was one of the founding members of the Green Party of Germany."

If one wishes to re-assert Dutschke role as a "founder" of the Green Party, please provide valid support: get the dates straight and cite sources.

Additionally, the article contains unsourced POV, which has been marked by citation tags. This is an article, not a eulogy.

— J M Rice 19:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Mr/Mrs Rice.

I have not written any part of that article, nor am I a party member, employee or activist.

Your problem is easy to solve: The facts are stated correctly, taken one by one, but the order in which they appear above is confusing. "The Greens" started as a somewhat loose federation of activists. They organized themselves in steps. So they could take part in a local election early. In 1979 they apparently managed to actually win seats in an assembly (the so-called "5% hurdle" in German elections) for the first time. They also took part in a European parlament election pre-1980 ('just read that in the German WP article about the party). Inspired by growing support they then took the decisive step to officially form the federal party ("Bundespartei" in German) at the date mentioned.

I added a few links to the statement above, for easier reference by all interested readers.

The "almost..." apparently simply was a linguistic mistake by a non-native speaker of English.

That Rudi Dutschke was an important mind behind the formation of the party is, I understand, common knowledge (among people interested in the matter) in Germany today. I don't have a reference at hand (and one in which language would do the job IYO ?); politics is not a major field of interest of mine, and I was a minor in those days, and only "stumbled" into this article-cum-discussion a few minutes ago.

Also, could you specify what portions of the article you object to and want to have changed or references added to ? (I agree that in general many use WP for advertising purposes of all sorts; in this case, I haven't even read the whole piece yet.) That may make it easier for others interested in the matter to contribute in a constructive way.

Press role in precipitating assassination
I was present in Berlin as a student from February 13, 1968 and was paying attention to political events and media coverage. Shortly before the assassination attack, I think in March, an "Aushang" or advertising poster appeared on newspaper kiosks throughout Berlin (well, I saw many), purporting to be an enlargement of the current headline on a tabloid-like magazine, [Deutsche?] National- und Soldaten-zeitung, in at least 5 cm.-high letters, which you could see half a block away:

 * Stoppt Dutschke jetzt -- sonst Bũrgerkrieg!

Bũrgerkrieg means "civil war." I do not know this publication to have been affiliated directly with the Axel Springer Verlag, but the latter was said to control 80% of the newspaper circulation in Berlin and presumably had some sort of veto power over anything that appeared on the kiosks.

On April 4 the news arrived of the killing of Dr. Martin Luther King. That is believed by some to have precipitated a "copy-cat" act (April 11) by Bachmann (age 25) who was reputed to have a Hitler portrait on his wall. He later sent an apology to Gretchen Dutschke and then committed suicide.

I am enough of a conspiracy theorist to wonder if someone in West Germany hadn't urged forces in the U.S. to "move" on King, on the speculation that it would nudge a suggestionable character to "help take care of Germany's problem" similarly. After the attack on Dutschke, the CDU-CSU majority in the Bundestag-- opportunistically?-- pressed for passage of Notstandsgesetze-- emergency laws-- written in such a way as to suppress student protests!

"Kritische Universitãt"
This was one of the most interesting proposals of the SDS under Dutschke. German professors have been notoriously domineering in the classroom-- or more often lecture hall, and were accused by progressive students of pushing a "wertfreie Wissenschaft" -- valuefree technology, i.e. dry didactic information or skills useful to a corporate employer, without concern for social justice (let alone the environment, the Greens addressed that later).

Dutschke's organization set up a network of students who formed alternate teaching groups, generally located in a nearby apartment, where students from a certain lecture course could meet, review and criticize the teaching of the professor.

The demented assassin in April 1968 apparently got the job done, for after brief student rallies (surrounding the brown glass Springer skyscraper poised at the Wall like a crusader or chesspiece ready to spring into the east), intimidation gradually set in and the "kritische Universität" idea faded away.Tokerdesigner (talk) 23:34, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Rudi and the Springer presse
Every time I've come across the name 'Rudi Dutsche' I've also come across some references to the newspapers owned by Springer. While I can see on this discussion page that there are different views on whether or not they actually contributed to the assault on Rudi, there seems to be strong public opions on the matter. This article should include some of the things that have been said on the springer-dutsche relationship, and of course both sides (atticles, books, whatever). Not including any information on the subject whatsoever is just confusing. Anyone, preferably german, who feel up to the task of assembling some balanced information on the matter? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.235.0.157 (talk) 10:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

2003 Bavarian state election

The 2003 Bavarian state election was held on 21 September 2003 to elect the members to the 15th Landtag of Bavaria. The Christian Social Union (CSU) led by Minister-President Edmund Stoiber achieved the largest majority in German history, winning 69% of the seats in the Landtag. This election was the first and to date only time a single party won a two-thirds supermajority of seats in any German state parliament. The CSU also won its largest proportion of the popular vote since 1974, at 60.7%.

The election was marked by a major decline in turnout, falling by almost 13 points to 57%. As a result, despite achieving its best result in decades, the CSU won 230,000 votes fewer than it had in the 1998 election.

Parties
The table below lists parties represented in the 14th Landtag of Bavaria.

PlatEAU

PlatEAU is an electronic music project featuring cEvin Key and Phil Western. The project resembles a very loose approach to the Download project featuring the same members. The song names and album titles refer to the coffeeshop culture of Amsterdam in The Netherlands implying a "trip" through their musical voyages. The album art also reflects this concept with imagery on their first release on Hypnotic Records in 1997, Music for Grass Bars. This release had a special CD jewel case in order to create a holographic-motion effect with the cover art insert. The genre is most closely related to IDM, experimental, techno and trip hop.

Discography

 * 1997: Music for Grass Bars
 * 1999: Spacecake – #24 CMJ RPM Charts

9/11 the musical? This has to be a sick joke. And even if it's not, a) the stub is useless ("nothing else is known about the project"?), and b) it's not been released yet. Katefan0 04:59, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. Probable hoax. Trying to think of what songs they could incorporate into it. "Rudie Can't Fail"? "The Only Living Boy in New York" (a slight exaggeration)?I guess "It's the End of the World as We Know It" is an obvious one.

 * Delete: It does not exist yet.  Article created by User:24.126.61.144 who claims good faith.  (The songs would be, essentially, the Clear Channel Communications list of censored songs.  Remember how they had a list of songs not to play after 9/11?  Everything with "bomb" or "fall" or "tower" was banned, plus a lot more.)  (Oh, and "A Message to Rudy" for the Prednisent's speech on the rubble pile.)  It sounds grotesque, but so does Urinetown, and that was a hit.  Geogre 15:39, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I remember hearing about the Clear Channel list, though I have to concurr that some of them, if seen as being played spcifically with 911 in mind, seemed in bad taste (e.g. "Great Balls of Fire", and that John Cougar Melloncamp one about the walls coming tumbling down).

Talk:RV park

Untitled
Reasons why this page should not be for "speedy deletions". The main reason is that it has the basis (in the form of a bulleted list) for the most common types of RV camping or park facilities. Considering that pages can be edited, the listing provides as a guide for people to expound upon their knowledge and experience with these types of RV options for travelers looking for a play to stay.

This is something more thought provoking than the word "huh" that was used on the speedy deletion notification page!

MORE:

The Bureau Of Land Managment is an interesting topic that many RVer's are unaware of as an viable place to park. After all, it is your tax payer money at use. Many BLM areas have both long term (winter) and short term permits. See: the associated .gov sites for more information.

 * I take it you are the original contributor. I think I stalled the 'speedy' with my edit, but the article still doesn't have any real content. If you put just a couple of sentences explaining things, and a link or two for reference, it will become a Stub and the admins will take out the speedy tag if they are awake. I'd do it myself but I know nothing about the subject. Kappa 05:37, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Establishment of separate 'Caravan Parks' article
Please note that I have established a separate article, as in Australia, the term 'caravan park' is broadly used to describe this category of accommodation, which is distinct from thne RV park found in the USA.

I hope that I have not upset anyone by doing this!Fitzpatrickjm 12:03, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Not upset, but concerned. There is already an article called 'Caravan parks' with no capital on the second word, which describes these thingies from a UK perspective. See below for proposal to merge this with the present article. Then we can get a single article for all the world's campers!Dickpenn 19:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge
Propose to merge the content of Caravan parks back into this article. It is not distinct enough for two separate articles. Note also that there is a redirect Caravan Parks (note the capitalization difference) that redirects back here. Please discuss... --Rehcsif 16:44, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree - the distinction is just one between American and British English, and a balanced article which covers both perspectives would be more interesting. Campers are travellers, and need to see an international view of things.Dickpenn 19:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Agree. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 19:42, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Looking at this again, there is little, if any, new info in the Caravan Park article. I was going to start salvaging it but it's really just pretty much linguistical differences...  Anyone opposed ot just a strict redirect back here? --Rehcsif 20:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC
 * Hearing no dissent, and seeing no content value from the former Caravan parks article that isn't already here, I simply redirect it back here and removed the merge template from this article. --Rehcsif 18:57, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Linkfarm
I guess it has to be, but this kind of articles generally get a lot of external links where I suspect the goal is to increase the status of some site. Does anyone have a good suggestion on what kind of external links this article really needs? Greswik 13:00, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Pitches vs Sites?
The article currently reads "...in allotted spaces known as "pitches" ("sites" in North America, Europe, and Australia).". Where exactly are the english-speaking countries that refer to them as "pitches"? If what appears to be the vast majority of the English-speaking world calls them "sites", shouldn't that be the primary, and "pitches" be the parenthetical? Rehcsif (talk) 19:05, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Making this change. Nobody seems to know about "pitches" after 2 1/2 years, and google comes up with nothing. Rehcsif (talk) 14:45, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Welcome!
(All the blue words are clickable links that will take you directly to a page or section.) Hello, Kumarayil! 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 Ambalamedu High School, didn't quite work out according to the school page guidelines, and needs some very rapid attention. When you've made the fixes, you can take your time for the rest, so you'll want to read up on Your First Article and check out: If you are stuck, you can ask a question on the school project talk page or you can even ask me on my talk page. I hope you'll stay around and even help out on some other school project tasks. Happy editing ! Kudpung (talk) 08:17, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Zyndram of Maszkowice

Zyndram z Maszkowic (Zyndram of Maszkowice, c. 1355 – c. 1414) was a Polish 14th and 15th century knight. His coat of arms was Słońce.

Zyndram was first mentioned in 1388 as a mayor of Jasło. He bought the post from a certain Jakusz Trzop for 100 grzywnas. He was also the Sword-bearer of the Crown. In February 1390, Zyndram took part in the military campaign against the Teutonic Order. The following year, he was yet again called to arms and took part in several battles against the Order in Lithuania and northern Poland.

Zyndram was ordered to organize the defense of a nodal castle of Kamieniec Litewski, east of the Białowieża Forest. Probably for successfully fulfilling this task, he was promoted to the starost of Jasło. In 1409, Zyndram was called to arms by king Władysław II Jagiełło to take part in his offensive against the Teutons. During the famous Battle of Grunwald of 1410, Zyndram was the Grand Camp Leader of the Crown and commander of the Banner of Kraków, composed of elite troops and holding the banner of the whole army. According to Historiæ Polonicæ by Ioannes Longinus, it was the unit commanded by Zyndram that killed the Teutonic commander, Ulrich von Jungingen. For many years, it was also believed that he was commander of all Polish troops in the battle, but recent research proved that this was but a wrong translation of Longinus' chronicle. His part in the battle was also described by Henryk Sienkiewicz in his novel The Teutonic Knights.

After the campaign, Zyndram returned to his domain. In 1413, he extended his domain by renting the village of Przesiecznica from the bishop of Przemyśl in exchange for the defense of the area against the Tartars and bandits from the Beskids. The exact date of his death is unknown, however on 5 June 1414 his wife, Anna, was mentioned as "Widow of Zyndram".

from VfD:

Non notable. Second wife of a writer. Sortior 05:06, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Sherwood Anderson was notable. Unless evidence surfaces that Ms. Mitchell/Lane/Anderson was notable as something other than Anderson's wife, she doesn't deserve her own article.  Delete.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:34, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * del. Mikkalai 09:06, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. utcursch 12:59, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sherwood Anderson, who is one of the more deserving American authors. Normally, in the past, we've redirected the unfamous partner to the famous, makes sense here. Geogre 15:43, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sherwood Anderson. This discourages recreation of the article unless there is something substantial to be added. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel (" Sarah ")]] 20:14, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I guess redirect, just to keep someone else from recreating this (though I doubt they will, being that the subject is completely not notable from all that can be seen). Jacob1207 05:16, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
