Degenerative disc disease

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a medical condition typically brought on by the normal aging process in which there are anatomic changes and possibly a loss of function of one or more intervertebral discs of the spine. DDD can take place with or without symptoms, but is typically identified once symptoms arise. The root cause is thought to be loss of soluble proteins within the fluid contained in the disc with resultant reduction of the oncotic pressure, which in turn causes loss of fluid volume. Normal downward forces cause the affected disc to lose height, and the distance between vertebrae is reduced. The anulus fibrosus, the tough outer layers of a disc, also weakens. This loss of height causes laxity of the longitudinal ligaments, which may allow anterior, posterior, or lateral shifting of the vertebral bodies, causing facet joint malalignment and arthritis; scoliosis; cervical hyperlordosis; thoracic hyperkyphosis; lumbar hyperlordosis; narrowing of the space available for the spinal tract within the vertebra (spinal stenosis); or narrowing of the space through which a spinal nerve exits (vertebral foramen stenosis) with resultant inflammation and impingement of a spinal nerve, causing a radiculopathy.

DDD can cause mild to severe pain, either acute or chronic, near the involved disc, as well as neuropathic pain if an adjacent spinal nerve root is involved. Diagnosis is suspected when typical symptoms and physical findings are present; and confirmed by x-rays of the vertebral column. Occasionally the radiologic diagnosis of disc degeneration is made incidentally when a cervical x-ray, chest x-ray, or abdominal x-ray is taken for other reasons, and the abnormalities of the vertebral column are recognized. The diagnosis of DDD is not a radiologic diagnosis, since the interpreting radiologist is not aware whether there are symptoms present or not. Typical radiographic findings include disc space narrowing, displacement of vertebral bodies, fusion of adjacent vertebral bodies, and development of bone in adjacent soft tissue (osteophyte formation). An MRI is typically reserved for those with symptoms, signs, and x-ray findings suggesting the need for surgical intervention.

Treatment may include Physical Therapy for pain relief, ROM, and appropriate muscle/strength training with emphasis on correcting abnormal posture, assisting the paravertebral (paraspinous) muscles in stabilizing the spine, and core muscle strengthening; stretching exercises; massage therapy; oral analgesia with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDS); and topical analgesia with lidocaine, ice and heat. Immediate surgery may be indicated if the symptoms are severe or sudden in onset, or there is a sudden worsening of symptoms. Elective surgery may be indicated after six months of conservative therapy with unsatisfactory relief of symptoms.

Signs and symptoms
Degenerative disc disease can result in lower back or upper neck pain. The amount of degeneration does not correlate well with the amount of pain patients experience. Many people experience no pain while others, with the same amount of damage have severe, chronic pain. Whether a patient experiences pain or not largely depends on the location of the affected disc and the amount of pressure that is being put on the spinal column and surrounding nerve roots.

Degenerative disc disease is one of the most common sources of back pain and affects approximately 30 million people every year. With symptomatic degenerative disc disease, the pain can vary depending on the location of the affected disc. A degenerated disc in the lower back can result in lower back pain, sometimes radiating to the hips, and pain in the buttocks, thighs, or legs. If pressure is being placed on the nerves by exposed nucleus pulposus, sporadic tingling or weakness through the knees and legs can occur.

A degenerated disc in the upper neck will often result in pain to the neck, arm, shoulders and hands; tingling in the fingers may also result if nerve impingement is occurring. Pain is most commonly felt or worsened by movements such as sitting, bending, lifting, and twisting.

After an injury, some discs become painful because of inflammation and the pain comes and goes. Some people have nerve endings that penetrate more deeply into the anulus fibrosus (outer layer of the disc) than others, making discs more likely to generate pain. The healing of trauma to the outer anulus fibrosus may also result in the innervation of the scar tissue and pain impulses from the disc, as these nerves become inflamed by nucleus pulposus material. Degenerative disc disease can lead to a chronic debilitating condition and can reduce a person's quality of life. When pain from degenerative disc disease is severe, traditional nonoperative treatment may be ineffective.

Cause
There is a disc between each of the vertebrae in the spine. A healthy, well-hydrated disc will contain a great deal of water in its center, known as the nucleus pulposus, which provides cushioning and flexibility for the spine. Much of the mechanical stress that is caused by everyday movements is transferred to the discs within the spine and the water content within them allows them to effectively absorb the shock. At birth, a typical human nucleus pulposus will contain about 80% water. However natural daily stresses and minor injuries can cause these discs to gradually lose water as the annulus fibrosus, or the tough outer fibrous material of a disc, weakens. Because degenerative disc disease is largely due to natural daily stresses, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists have suggested it is not truly a "disease" process.

This water loss makes the discs more flexible and results in the gradual collapse and narrowing of the gap in the spinal column. As the space between vertebrae gets smaller, extra pressure can be placed on the discs causing tiny cracks or tears to appear in the annulus. If enough pressure is exerted, it is possible for the nucleus pulposus material to seep out through the tears in the annulus and can cause what is known as a herniated disc.

As the two vertebrae above and below the affected disc begin to collapse upon each other, the facet joints at the back of the spine are forced to shift which can affect their function.

Additionally, the body can react to the closing gap between vertebrae by creating bone spurs around the disc space in an attempt to stop excess motion. This can cause issues if the bone spurs start to grow into the spinal canal and put pressure on the spinal cord and surrounding nerve roots as it can cause pain and affect nerve function. This condition is called spinal stenosis.

For women, there is evidence that menopause and related estrogen-loss are associated with lumbar disc degeneration, usually occurring during the first 15 years of the climacteric. The potential role of sex hormones in the etiology of degenerative skeletal disorders is being discussed for both genders.

Mutations in several genes have been implicated in intervertebral disc degeneration. Probable candidate genes include type I collagen (sp1 site), type IX collagen, vitamin D receptor, aggrecan, asporin, MMP3, interleukin-1, and interleukin-6 polymorphisms. Mutation in genes – such as MMP2 and THBS2 – that encode for proteins and enzymes involved in the regulation of the extracellular matrix has been shown to contribute to lumbar disc herniation.

Mechanisms
Degenerative discs typically show degenerative fibrocartilage and clusters of chondrocytes, suggestive of repair. Inflammation may or may not be present. Histologic examination of disc fragments resected for presumed DDD is routine to exclude malignancy.

Fibrocartilage replaces the gelatinous mucoid material of the nucleus pulposus as the disc changes with age. There may be splits in the anulus fibrosus, permitting herniation of elements of nucleus pulposus. There may also be shrinkage of the nucleus pulposus that produces prolapse or folding of the anulus fibrosus with secondary osteophyte formation at the margins of the adjacent vertebral body. The pathologic findings in DDD include protrusion, spondylolysis, and subluxation of vertebrae (spondylolisthesis) and spinal stenosis. It has been hypothesized that Cutibacterium acnes may play a role.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis of degenerative disc disease will usually consist of an analysis of a patient's individual medical history and an MRI to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes.

Treatment
Often, the symptoms of degenerative disc disease can be treated without surgery. One or a combination of treatments such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, traction, or epidural steroid injection can provide adequate relief of troubling symptoms.

Surgery may be recommended if the conservative treatment options do not provide relief within two to three months for cervical or 6 months for lumbar symptoms. If leg or back pain limits normal activity, if there is weakness or numbness in the legs, if it is difficult to walk or stand, or if medication or physical therapy are ineffective, surgery may be necessary, most often spinal fusion. There are many surgical options for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, including anterior and posterior approaches. The most common surgical treatments include: • Microdiscectomy: A minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a portion of a herniated nucleus pulposus is removed by way of a surgical instrument or laser while using an operating microscope or loupe for magnification.

• Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: A procedure that reaches the cervical spine (neck) through a small incision in the front of the neck. The intervertebral disc is removed and replaced with a small plug of bone or other graft substitute, along with a height restoration device to un-impinge nerves, and in time, the vertebrae will fuse together.

• Intervertebral disc arthroplasty: also called Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR), or Total Disc Replacement (TDR), is a type of arthroplasty. It is a surgical procedure in which degenerated intervertebral discs in the spinal column are replaced with artificial ones in the lumbar (lower) or cervical (upper) spine.

• Cervical corpectomy: A procedure that removes a portion of the vertebra and adjacent intervertebral discs to allow for decompression of the cervical spinal cord and spinal nerves. A bone graft, and in some cases a metal plate and screws, is used to stabilize the spine.

• Dynamic Stabilisation: Following a discectomy, a stabilisation implant is implanted with a 'dynamic' component. This can be with the use of Pedicle screws (such as Dynesys or a flexible rod) or an interspinous spacer with bands (such as a Wallis ligament). These devices off load pressure from the disc by rerouting pressure through the posterior part of the spinal column. Like a fusion, these implants allow and maintain mobility to the segment by allowing flexion and extension.

• Facetectomy: A procedure that removes a part of the facet to increase the space.

• Foraminotomy: A procedure that enlarges the vertebral foramen to increase the size of the nerve pathway. This surgery can be done alone or with a laminotomy.

• Intervertebral disc annuloplasty (IDET): A procedure wherein the disc is heated to 90 °C for 15 minutes in an effort to seal the disc and perhaps deaden nerves irritated by the degeneration.

• Laminoplasty: A procedure that reaches the cervical spine from the back of the neck. The spinal canal is then reconstructed to make more room for the spinal cord.

• Laminotomy: A procedure that removes only a small portion of the lamina to relieve pressure on the nerve roots.

• Percutaneous disc decompression: A procedure that reduces or eliminates a small portion of the bulging disc through a needle inserted into the disc, minimally invasive.

• Spinal decompression: A non-invasive procedure that temporarily (a few hours) enlarges the intervertebral foramen (IVF) by aiding in the rehydration of the spinal discs.

• Spinal laminectomy: A procedure for treating spinal stenosis by relieving pressure on the spinal cord. A part of the lamina is removed or trimmed to widen the spinal canal and create more space for the spinal nerves. Traditional approaches in treating patients with DDD-resultant herniated discs oftentimes include discectomy—which, in essence, is a spine-related surgical procedure involving the removal of damaged intervertebral discs (either whole removal, or partially-based). The former of these two discectomy techniques involved in open discectomy is known as Subtotal Discectomy (SD; or, aggressive discectomy) and the latter, Limited Discectomy (LD; or, conservative discectomy). However, with either technique, the probability of post-operative reherniation exists and at a considerably high maximum of 21%, prompting patients to potentially undergo recurrent disk surgery.

New treatments are emerging that are still in the beginning clinical trial phases. Glucosamine injections may offer pain relief for some without precluding the use of more aggressive treatment options. Adult stem cell or cell transplantation therapies for disc regeneration are in their infancy of development, but initial clinical trials have shown cell transplantation to be safe and initial observations suggest some beneficial effects for associated pain and disability. An optimal cell type, transplantation method, cell density, carrier, or patient indication remains to be determined. Investigation into mesenchymal stem cell therapy knife-less fusion of vertebrae in the United States began in 2006 and a DiscGenics nucleus pulposus progenitor cell transplantation clinical trial has started as of 2018 in the United States and Japan.

Researchers and surgeons have conducted clinical and basic science studies to uncover the regenerative capacity possessed by the large animal species involved (humans and quadrupeds) for potential therapies to treat the disease. Some therapies, carried out by research laboratories in New York, include introduction of biologically engineered, injectable riboflavin cross-linked high density collagen (HDC-laden) gels into disease spinal segments to induce regeneration, ultimately restoring functionality and structure to the two main inner and outer components of vertebral discs—anulus fibrosus and the nucleus pulposus.

Other animals
Degenerative disc disease can occur in other mammals besides humans. It is a common problem in several dog breeds, such as the Dachshund, and attempts to remove this disease from dog populations have led to several hybrid breeds, such as the Chiweenie.

Paul Smith (music industry executive)

Paul Smith is probably best known as the founder and manager of Blast First, the British alternative record label that released artists such as Sonic Youth, the Butthole Surfers, Big Black and Dinosaur Jr. in the UK. He continued to manage the artists and work in the music industry when Blast First was bought by Mute Records. Now he runs the very small label "Blast First Petite" on which he develops and sometime releases stuff that was refused by Mute's Blast First, including Rivulets and HTRK. He now has an exclusive contract with Pan Sonic. In 2002 he produced a multimedia performance event at the Barbican to mark the release of Iain Sinclair's book London Orbital. The event featured a diverse range of artists from the literary and music worlds including J. G. Ballard and Bill Drummond.

Paul Smith also produced the final British tour of Ken Kesey, taking him on a bus tour around festivals in summer 1997. He is also known for King Mob, a record label of spoken word performances by famous counter-culture authors from the beat generation to Iain Sinclair and Stewart Home.

Talk:RFL Championship

I added the see also section back into the page as I believe that part of its purpose is to guide people who aren't particularly knowledgeable about RL to related pages. I've changed which pages are included in the see also as the most of the ones which you removed are now unnecessary due to the templates and weren't particularly linked to the National Leagues.GordyB 00:09, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Ok fair enough.Grinner 10:15, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

may be a reference should be made to the National Conference concerning Manchester and the Storm as from the way its written it makes it seem theyve folded when in fact they have only moved down a tier.

At the time this was written Manchester had just dropped out with no announcement as to their future, though I agree the South London Storm bit could have been clearer. Ditto changes that you made to the Conference Premier, when I wrote it it was what was planned but I didn't update it when the plans changed. Could you get yourself a sign-in name as it's a bit difficult talking to a range number.GordyB 19:42, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Split into seperate articles
I think this should be split into two seperate articles, covering National League One and National League Two. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 02:48, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree there should be two articles, any body against?Gpeilon (talk) 21:52, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I took the time to create the Championship One page, I will wait a bit for possible change/improvements, before splitting the current article for it to be focussed on the Championship. Gpeilon (talk) 10:40, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You might as well go ahead and be bold because nobody seems to have any objections.GordyB (talk) 20:39, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OK done! with some updates. Gpeilon (talk) 20:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Competition and nationality
The Co-operative championship was previously described as a competition in GB and France, I changed it to Europe. GordyB disagreed with this change and put instead UK as a "revert" arguing that it is a British competition. It certainly was and I understand GordyB's point of view, but with a French club in it and with the fact that it is clearly the second tier competition below the Super League Europe, it does not make sense really to present the competition as "British". I do not take the point about Toulouse being invited and not being there by right, it is exactly the same for Perpignan in the Super League, they certainly have no "right" to be there, they entered a competition to get a license and could lose it in three years in case of poor results. I suggest the following presentation to give the subtlety of the present evolution: "Originally the British National League One, the newly denominated Co-operative Championship has taken a European dimension with the inclusion of the French team Toulouse. The Co-operative Championship is now de facto the second tier competition in Europe below the Super League."

Given this evolution it also makes sense to split the page in two articles as the Championship One is clearly strictly national. Gpeilon —Preceding undated comment added 22:08, 4 March 2009 (UTC).
 * Super League (Europe) was always designated a pan-European competition; it was even given a "European" name. British and French flags I can tolerate for the Co-operative Championship because those countries have teams in the competition but it is not a "European" league. Secondly the French Elite One is still up and running and generally held to be of higher standard than Championship 1 and Elite One teams are still entitled to be promoted to SL. I think designating Co-Operative Championship as the second tier of European rugby unnecessarily talks down the French championship. It's very much POV.GordyB (talk) 09:17, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I understand what you say, however the current presentation is not really satisfying. With a French team in the Championship, the championship is not strictly British any more. What happens if Toulouse wins the Championship? Will we consider Toulouse as the "British champion"? Also, the initial presentation stressed on "England and France" while now it is said "UK" while no Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish team participate. Finally, the Co-operative is really the only second tier of the Super League Europe as it is only with this championship that there is a relegation-promotion scheduled to exist. I do not think that the wording I proposed was deprecating toward the French Elite 1, but just stating a fact. To take into account your concern for neutrality what about this more moderate presentation: "The Co-operative Championship was originally the English National League One. With the inclusion of a French team in 2009 (Toulouse) it has taken a more European dimension and has changed its denomination. It acts as the second tier competition below the Super League." Gpeilon (talk) 16:51, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This is better. GordyB (talk) 17:15, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I changed it Gpeilon (talk) 01:33, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

The Fall of the Angels

The Fall of the Angels is a Miltonesque epic poem by John William Polidori concerned with the creation of the world.

It was published anonymously in 1821 only months before Polidori's suicide. The only known contemporary review of the poem was a negative one, published on 5 May 1821. After Polidori's death, a version of the poem with his name on the title page was published.

Armagh Observatory

Armagh Observatory is an astronomical research institute in Armagh, Northern Ireland. Around 25 astronomers are based at the observatory, studying stellar astrophysics, the Sun, Solar System astronomy and Earth's climate.

In 2018, Armagh Observatory was recognized for having 224 years of unbroken weather records.

History
The Observatory is located close to the centre of the city of Armagh, adjacent to the Armagh Planetarium in approximately 14 acre of landscaped grounds known as the Armagh Astropark. It was founded in 1789 by The Most Rev. and Rt Hon. The 1st Baron Rokeby, Church of Ireland Lord Primate of All Ireland and Lord Archbishop of Armagh.

In 1795 through 1797 Solar observations were made at Armagh, including measurements of sunspots.

Ernst Julius Öpik (grandfather of Lembit Öpik MP) was based here for over 30 years and among his many contributions to astrophysics he wrote of the dangers of an asteroid impacting on the Earth.

One of the observatory's directors, Thomas Romney Robinson invented the cup anemometer, a device for measuring wind speed.

A plan was announced in 1949 to establish an Armagh Planetarium. After many years work the Planetarium opened in 1968, its first director was Patrick Moore. It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018.

In 2018, the observatory was given an award by Centennial Weather Station Award from the World Meteorological Organisation for 224 years of unbroken weather recordings. The records go back to 1794 and are also made available on the internet in the early 21st century.

In modern times the Observatory along with the nearby Planetarium and 14-acre Astropark are noted tourist attraction and education centre. The gardens, historical telescopes, and various astronomically related devices such as sundials are among some of the exhibits for visitors.

Facilities
There are scale models of the Solar System and the Universe, two sundials and historic telescopes, as well as telescope domes and other outdoor exhibits. The Human Orrery, launched in 2004, is located close to the main Observatory building. The Observatory's specialist library and archives, and collections of scientific instruments and artefacts associated with the development of modern astronomy, represent one of the leading collections of its kind in the British Isles.

Instruments
A 2½ inch aperture refracting telescope by J & E Troughton was installed in a dome in 1795. The telescope was manufactured in London, and is noted for its late 18th century brass metal work. It is also known the Troughton Equatorial Telescope, for having an equatorial mounting.

The observatory has an Earnshaw Regulator. It is an accurate type of clock invented in 1791 by Thomas Earnshaw. Earnshaw travelled with it to Armagh to set it up in the new Observatory.

In the early 1800s it was reported to have a mural circle instrument. Another instrument at the observatory is a sunshine recorder.

In the 1830s the observatory bought a 15-inch reflecting telescope from the Grubb Telescope Company. The telescope used a metal mirror mounted on an equatorial mount with clockwork-drive.

In 1885, a ten-inch aperture refracting telescope was installed, also by Grubb. This was installed in the Robinson dome.

Meridian marks can be found in the vicinity of the observatory, these look like stone arches, but were used to mark the location of the north-south line for the astronomical instruments. There is also another one in the form of an iron obelisk. The first meridian mark was built in 1793, and is in Tullyard, and it was used with the transit instrument.

In 2005, two wide-angle cameras for a meteor detection systems were installed.

Research
The records of temperature take at Armagh Observatory between 1844 and 2004 were analyzed in 2006 research paper.

Charles Oman

Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman, (12 January 1860 – 23 June 1946) was a British military historian. His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering.

Early life
Oman was born in Muzaffarpur district, India, the son of a British planter, and was educated at Winchester College and at the University of Oxford, where he studied under William Stubbs. Here, he was invited to become a founding member of the Stubbs Society, which was under Stubbs's patronage.

Career
In 1881 he was elected to a Prize Fellowship at All Souls College, where he remained for the rest of his academic career. He was elected the Chichele Professor of Modern History at Oxford in 1905, in succession to Montagu Burrows. He was also elected to the FBA that year, and served as president of the Royal Historical Society (1917–1921), the Numismatic Society and the Royal Archaeological Institute.

Among his teaching activities at Oxford, he taught the special subject in military history with C. T. Atkinson of Exeter College that focused on the Peninsular War.

Oman's academic career was interrupted by the First World War, during which he was employed by the government's Press Bureau and the Foreign Office.

Oman was the Conservative Member of Parliament for the University of Oxford constituency from 1919 to 1935, and was knighted KBE in the 1920 civilian war honours list.

The parody history book 1066 and All That, published in 1930, includes the dedication "Absit Oman", a distortion of the Latin phrase "Absit omen". It can be translated as "may Oman be absent", reflecting the prominence of Oman among English historians at the time.

Honours
He became an honorary fellow of New College in 1936, and received the honorary degrees of DCL (Oxford, 1926) and LL.D (Edinburgh, 1911 and Cambridge, 1927). He was awarded the Medal of the Royal Numismatic Society in 1928. He died at Oxford aged 86.

Children
Two of Oman's children became authors. His daughter Carola Oman CBE was a writer of history, biography, and fiction for adults and children, including a retelling of the Robin Hood legend and biographies of Admiral Lord Nelson and Lieutenant-General Sir John Moore. His son Charles C. Oman wrote several volumes on British silverware and similar houseware, worked as a Keeper of the Department of Metalwork in the Victoria and Albert Museum, and was active in the Folklore Society (and was in turn father to Julia Trevelyan Oman).

Ernst Bernheim

Ernst Bernheim (19 February 1850 – 9 July 1942) was a German historian who is best known for an influential Lehrbuch der historischen Methode (1889) on historical method.

Early life
He was born in Hamburg as a son of merchant Louis Bernheim (later changed to Ludwig Bernheim, born 7 December 1815 in Fürstenberg) and Emma Simon (born 15 April 1834 in Kolberg) and from 1834 lived in Hamburg.

On 16 April 1884, he married Amalie ("Emma") Henriette Jessen (born 18 September 1861 in Hamburg, died 9 July 1945 in Greifswald). They had a daughter and three sons.

Career
Ernst attended the Johanneum from Easter 1862 and graduated with the Abitur on 22 September 1868. From 1868 to 1872, he studied history in Berlin, Heidelberg, and Straßburg He graduated with the grades Dr. phil and Dr jur. in Straßburg (1873, supervised by Georg Waitz) and Dr habil in Göttingen (1874–75, supervised by Julius Weizsäcker). Thereafter, he taught history at the University of Göttingen and at the University of Bonn.

In 1883, he was called to the University of Greifswald, Institute for History, where he held the positions of an "außerordentlicher Professor" ("Privatdozent") since 1883, and "ordentlicher Professor" since 1889. In 1899, he was elected rector of the university. His eremitation was in 1921.

Nazi era
His Jewish descent made Bernheim subject to repressions during the Nazi era. In 1933, he was forbidden to lecture, and an appeal to Adolf Hitler to regain that permission was not successful. On 4 December 1935, with the implementation of the Nuremberg Laws, Bernheim lost German citizenship. An appeal to Hitler to regain citizenship, which was backed by a number of scientists from the University of Greifswald was successful, and Bernheim was assigned "temporary citizenship" on 12 January 1938 and let him avoid deportation in 1940. Yet, just weeks before his death, the deaf-mute foster child of the family, Hetti Meyer, was deported to Theresienstadt and killed. Hetti was raised from her birth by Bernheim and his wife Emma, a special education teacher. From 1939 onwards, Nazi scientists systematically besmirched Bernheim's scientific work, which was not appreciated again until postwar Germany.

Bernheim died on 3 March 1942 in Greifswald. His former colleagues managed to circumvent Nazi orders and to get his urn buried in the town's graveyard on 23 July 1943, but an obituary was not permitted.

Legacy
A memorial plaque was attached to his Greifswald house, at 26 Arndtstraße. Furthermore, a street in Greifswald was named after him.

Donald S. Lopez Sr.

Donald Sewell Lopez Sr. (July 15, 1923 – March 3, 2008) was a United States Army Air Forces and United States Air Force fighter and test pilot and until his death the deputy director of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

Early life
Lopez was born in Brooklyn, New York on July 15, 1923. He showed an interest in aviation at an early age. He often rode his bike to Floyd Bennett Field where he occasionally got free flights from a family friend. During his teenage years, his family moved to Tampa, Florida, inside the traffic pattern of Drew Army Air Field, so he could see Army Air Corps fighters flying overhead. That hardened his resolve to become a fighter pilot.

Military career
Lopez learned to fly in college, then volunteered for the Army Air Forces Aviation Cadet Program when the age limit was lowered to 18 in early 1942.

World War II
After earning his wings, he saw combat in China as a member of the 75th Fighter Squadron. The unit was part of the 23rd Fighter Group, successor to the famed Flying Tigers. He became an ace, credited with shooting down five Japanese fighters, four in a P-40 Warhawk and one in a P-51 Mustang, while flying 101 missions.

Post war
Lopez returned to Florida in 1945 and served as a fighter test pilot at Eglin Field, flying most of the early jet fighters. He served a brief tour of duty in the Korea War in August and September 1950 as an F-86 Sabre pilot with the 4th Fighter-Interceptor Wing. After Korea, he served two tours in the Pentagon, earned a B.S. and M.S. in aeronautical engineering, and was an associate professor of thermodynamics at the United States Air Force Academy, until his retirement from the Air Force in 1964.

Personal life
In 1948 he married Glindel Barron, sister of Florida State Senator Dempsey Barron. He and Glindel have two children, Joy Lopez and Donald S. Lopez Jr. (currently a professor of Buddhist studies at the University of Michigan), and one grandchild, Laura V. Lopez.

Later life
Following his retirement from the Air Force in 1964, he spent eight years as an engineer on the Apollo and Skylab programs with Bellcomm, Inc., a subsidiary of Bell Labs. In 1972, he joined the staff of the National Air and Space Museum. He was heavily involved in developing and running the National Air and Space Museum, during his later years.

His publications include two memoirs, Into the Teeth of the Tiger (Smithsonian, 1997, ISBN 1-56098-752-9), and Fighter Pilot's Heaven: Flight Testing the Early Jets (Smithsonian, 2001, ISBN 1-56098-916-5).

Lopez died from a heart attack on March 3, 2008, at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, near to where his daughter lived. He is buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.

Awards and decorations

Victor Pinchuk

Victor Mykhailovych Pinchuk (Віктор Михайлович Пінчук, Viktor Mykhailovych Pinchuk; born 14 December 1960) is a Ukrainian businessman and oligarch. As of January 2016, Forbes magazine ranked him as 1,250th on the list of wealthiest people in the world, with a fortune of US$1.44 billion.

Pinchuk is the founder of EastOne Group LLC, an international investing, project funding and financial advisory company based in London, and of Interpipe Group, one of Ukraine's leading pipe, wheel and steel producers. Pinchuk is the owner of four TV channels and a popular tabloid, Fakty i Kommentarii. He has been a member of the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, for two consecutive terms from 1998 to 2006. He is married to Olena Pinchuk, the daughter of former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma.

Early life and education
Pinchuk was born in 1960 in Kyiv to Jewish parents who moved to the industrial city of Dnipropetrovsk. in 1987, he graduated from Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Institute with a doctorate in industrial engineering.

Career
In 1990, he founded the Interpipe Company on the basis of his patented innovations, which were adopted by leading metallurgical factories in the USSR.

Interpipe is a major producer of seamless pipes and railway wheels. In 2004, Pinchuk and Rinat Akhmetov, two of Ukraine's richest men, acquired the Kryvorizhstal steel factory for about $800 million. Then-President Leonid Kuchma, who is Pinchuk's father-in-law, authorized the state asset sale, which competitors complained was far below market rate. Later, the first Tymoshenko government reversed this sale, and held a nationally televised repeat auction that netted $4.8 billion. In 2006, Pinchuk founded an investment advisory company, EastOne. Its portfolio includes industrial assets such as production of pipes and tubes, rail car wheels, specialty steels and alloys, machinery, as well as media.

Pinchuk was a member of the Ukrainian Parliament between 1998 and 2006 for Labour Ukraine. He left politics after he came to the conclusion that Ukraine had reached a level of development when business and politics should be separated.

Pinchuk is a member of the Board of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, of the International Advisory Council of Brookings Institution and of the Corporate Advisory Board of the Global Business Coalition against HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria. Pinchuk holds a share of VS Energy International Ukraine together with Mikhail Spektor and Igor Kolomoisky.

In 2013, American steel makers filed a case with the United States Department of Commerce alleging that Interpipe Group was illegally dumping steel tubes into the American natural gas market. In November 2013, Fitch Ratings downgraded Interpipe because of the dumping accusations and a missed $106 million debt payment.

Accusations of corruption
On 4 March 2015, at the hearing on Special Control Commission of Privatization in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, oligarch Igor Kolomoisky accused Viktor Pinchuk of receiving a bribe of $5 million a month for the rights to manage Ukrnafta, 50 + 1% of which is owned by the state-owned company Naftogaz of Ukraine. According to Kolomoisky, the money was transferred to offshore companies, the "ultimate owners of which were identified" as Victor Pinchuk and Leonid Kuchma.

"We paid this money, and besides that, we paid dividends to the state, all taxes and everything else. But for the right to receive our dividends, we were forced to pay another 5 million from our dividends to Pinchuk", - said Kolomoisky.

On 18 March 2015, National Anti-Corruption Bureau opened criminal proceedings. According to the investigation, the amount of the bribe to Viktor Pinchuk from 2003 to 2006 was allegedly $110 million.

In December 2015, Pinchuk brought a $2 billion civil action against fellow oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi and Gennadiy Bogolyubov in the High Court of Justice in London over the 2004 purchase of a Ukrainian mining company. Allegations made include murder and bribery. In January 2016, an undisclosed out of court settlement was reached just before the trial was due to start.

Promoting Ukraine to join the European Union
In 2004, Pinchuk created Yalta European Strategy, an international independent organization to promote Ukraine joining the European Union. Its annual summer meeting in Yalta was a Ukraine-EU forum for debate and policy recommendations development. Since the Crimean Crisis of 2014 these meetings have been taking place in Kyiv. In September 2013, Pinchuk and Tony Blair introduced Hillary Clinton's keynote address to the conference at Livadia Palace, with Bill Clinton in attendance. Stefan Fule, Paul Krugman, Alexei Kudrin, Shimon Peres, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Larry Summers and other political and business leaders have attended. In September 2015, Pinchuk donated $150,000 to the Donald J. Trump Foundation in exchange for a 20-minute video appearance by Donald Trump shown at the conference that year in Kyiv. Michael Cohen solicited Douglas Schoen for the donation from Pinchuk, which was the largest outside donation the Trump Foundation received that year.

In 2015, Pinchuk promoted closer ties between Ukraine and the EU. He was an active participant in the World Economic Forum at Davos.

In December 2016, Viktor Pinchuk published an article in the Wall Street Journal "Ukraine Must Make Painful Compromises for Peace With Russia", in which he suggested that Ukraine temporarily abandon the prospect of EU membership, exclude NATO membership and make a compromise with Russia on the Crimea peninsula on purpose the achieving peace in Eastern Ukraine. The article drew criticism from Ukrainian political authorities of Ukraine. Then-President Petro Poroshenko canceled a visit to the Davos Ukrainian Lunch, which took place on January 19, 2017.

Former Vice-Prime-Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Ivanna Klimpush-Tsintsadze said that the theses of Pinchuk's "peace plan" had already been used by Russian propaganda. Russia's War Crimes House, formerly Russia House, is building 68, Promenade in Davos rented by Pinchuk, where he informs about Ukrainian civilian war deaths.

Personal life and wealth
Victor Pinchuk is married to Olena Pinchuk, the daughter of the second president of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma. Olena Pinchuk runs the ANTIAIDS Foundation, which focuses on prevention and retroviral distribution and AIDS care in Ukraine. She and Pinchuk are friends of singer Elton John and former US President Bill Clinton, whose 65th birthday party Pinchuk attended in Los Angeles. Victor Pinchuk has three daughters and a son.

Pinchuk spent more than $6 million on his 50th birthday party in Courchevel, flying in Cirque du Soleil and chef Alain Ducasse.

Forbes ranked him No. 1,250 on the list of the wealthiest people in the world in 2016, with a fortune of US$1.44 billion. Pinchuk was listed as one of the "2010 Time 100 – The World's Most Influential People" in Time Magazine. He was ranked No. 38 on ArtReview magazine's 2013 Power 100 ranking of people in contemporary art.

Philanthropy
Pinchuk has supported philanthropic projects in Ukraine. In 2006, he consolidated these activities under the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, as of 2013 considered the largest private Ukrainian philanthropic foundation. The foundation is active in the fields of health, education, culture, international affairs, human rights and local communities.

The foundation's projects include the largest private scholarship program in Ukraine "Zavtra.UA", the scholarship program for Ukrainian students studying abroad "WorldWideStudies", and the annual "Ukrainian Lunch" and "Philanthropic Roundtable" on the occasion of the World Economic Forum in Davos. The foundation supports and works with a variety of partners, including the network "Yalta European Strategy" created to promote Ukraine's European integration, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Kyiv School of Economics, Tony Blair Faith Foundation, the Brookings Institution, the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the Israeli Presidential Conference "Facing Tomorrow", and the legal clinics/legal aid projects of the Renaissance Foundation.

Its projects include giving $150,000 to the Trump Foundation as speaking fee in 2015,  the creation of a network of modern neonatal centres throughout Ukraine ("Cradles of Hope"), cooperation programs with the Clinton Global Initiative, the Elton John AIDS Foundation and the ANTIAIDS Foundation of his wife Olena Pinchuk, the creation of the Kyiv School of Economics, a cooperation with the Aspen Institute, the opening of the first large scale contemporary art centre in Ukraine PinchukArtCentre, the production and promotion of a film with Steven Spielberg on the Holocaust in Ukraine, and support of local Jewish communities.

In June 2009, Pinchuk organized the Paul McCartney free concert on Independence Square in Kyiv in front of 500,000 people. As an initiative of the Pinchuk Art Center, in December 2009, Pinchuk announced a new $100,000 prize for artists under the age of 35. The Future Generation Art Prize is awarded every two years and is open to any young artist who applies online. Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, Andreas Gursky and Jeff Koons, artists whose work Pinchuk collects, serve as mentors to the finalists and the winner.

In February 2013, Pinchuk committed to giving half or more of his fortune during his lifetime and beyond to philanthropic causes, joining the Giving Pledge, a philanthropic initiative founded in 2010 by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

Pinchuk has donated from $10 to $25 million to the Clinton Foundation between 1994 and 2005. In 2000, Pinchuk hired former Clinton pollster Douglas Schoen on a $40,000 per month retainer. In 2004, Schoen introduced Pinchuk to Hillary Clinton. Between September 2011 and November 2012, Schoen arranged nearly a dozen meetings between Pinchuk and senior State Department officials, including Melanne Verveer. Emails released by Judicial Watch and obtained through FOIA requests showed that Pinchuk had been invited to dine at Hillary Clinton's home during her tenure at the State department, despite her spokesman's previous denial that they had met during that time. In March 2017, former Trump aid Monica Crowley registered as a foreign agent for Pinchuk.

In November 2014 in Kyiv, Pinchuk was presented with the 2014 Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Award for his work in fostering Ukrainian-Jewish relations.

In June 2022 Pinchuk and his wife  donated over £10 million to charity to support Ukrainian soldiers and civilians needing prosthetics, medical treatment, rehabilitation and other humanitarian aid for Ukrainians in the Russo-Ukrainian War. This was through the sale of a Jeff Koons sculpture.

I welcomed him and answered his questions on his talk page. Take a look at the history on his talk page and his contribs. He claims he wants to use VP and counter vandalism yet his account is used for some vandalism (warnings on his talk page are being reverted). He claims in one of his edit comments that 'a family member' is doing the vandalism (from his account?). Not sure what to make of this. I try to AGF and not to bite when dealing with him but I'm not totally convinced he means no harm.Netkinetic(t/c/@) 00:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The anon user has a history of edits like this, this, and this. As over a long period of time he has added vandalism referring to a certiain "Kyle" it is a safe bet it is the same user. What he added to lightening was a basic nonsense edit. IrishGuy talk  23:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the additional information IrishGuy. I'm unsure why this has become Brian Boru's concern...I've explained the justification for the revert...the anon needs to simply add in the edit summary the reason for removing information from an article. The content wasn't obvious and there is not limitless time to research an anon's or editor's track record. Summarily removing information without an edit summary simply isn't recommended. Netkinetic(t/c/@) 19:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. At bare minimum, the anon could have simply written rvv. I don't know why this has become a bigger issue than it needs to be. Hopefully it is over now and nobody will hold bad feelings towards others. IrishGuy talk 19:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Netkinetic,

It can definitely be difficult to try and blend distinct styles into the overall mix of this website, though definitely worth the effort! I've noticed in your contributions a lot of activity attempting to maintain the integrity of various articles, which is commendable. Especially when never receiving credit (except a few comments from above). So I'll acknowledge it, since you were the first here to respond on my talk page.

Counterparts Situation
Thanks for the kind words; for me, it not only served no pleasure, it also seemed a little excessive. I could understand the debate over the Earth-S and Earth-X entries in the grids, but Earths-One, -Two, and -Three were much more definitive - if anything, I was expecting the removal of -S & -X, and probably the Earth-Three entries that only ever appeared in the modern era's Anti-Matter Earth (they were already there - I just added the disclaimer), not the removal of the entire page.

The link you sent was interesting. The comparisons made there were definitely function-comparisons, though far more broad (aside from the standard JLA/JSA ones) than the ones I was trying to show (mine generally co-existed in the same time period - even allowing for the generational gap between Earth-Two and Earth-One - even when being published by competing companies, for starters), but I could see the comparisons being made were even more functional like, "youthful female with wings on a team," or "the fire-based member of a team," etc., that required using characters from different time-periods as well.

Just out of curiosity, why is there no allowance made for a 'reasonable inference?' Not that I'm trying to re-argue the debate on this particular entry, but it didn't seem to me that what I was putting forth was exactly outlandish. Maybe it's just a matter of changing the term 'original research' (which implies a deliberative searching for information to back-up a theory) to 'original conclusions' or 'personal observations' (which probably better describes someone like me, who was simply trying to show what I came to conclude after reading comics for enjoyment purposes for over 30 years, with the evidence being, primarily, those same comics).

But, that's all water under the bridge now. I can only content myself with knowing that I'm right, even if I can't demonstrate it to Wikipedia standards. Thanks again for the support. Starmiter 01:17, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

 * And to clarify, the 'External Links' area for Multiverse (DC Comics) cannot have a link to the same info on a non-Wikipedia page, even if it could be presented with a disclaimer like, "An intriguing interpretation of the pre-Crisis DC Multiverse may be found here" kind of thing? And as for the removal of the Earth-One info from the Earth-Two chart, I had based it mainly on the fact the Flash entry mentioned both versions, and so the remaining entries seemed incomplete by comparison - just thought people would've liked "cliff-note" info-blurbs for comparison purposes without having to read each and every entry, which is rather time-consuming.  I have no intention of formally opposing their removal because, frankly, it would be too much effort, and my track-record is already 0-for-2 (and this is on subject matter that I considered myself an expert on), so I'm going to be more careful about when to pick my battles.  Thanks. Starmiter 01:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I know it's probably too little, too late for the multiverse grid page, but I recently came across this site: http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/doveside/412/page4.html that goes even further than the comparisons I was trying to show. The part of this set of comparisons I found intriguing were the Earth-One/Earth-Two/Earth-Shazam match-ups (though I don't agree with Capt. Marvel, Jr., being linked with the Flash - more closely to Superboy who, like Supergirl, was introduced well after the Fawcett character). Also, I've been corresponding with Roy Thomas about the topic, and he recalls prior issues of Alter-Ego discussing the topics as well, though he is uncertain of the exact issues and cannot devote the time to research them. I'll still be digging through the back issues when I can get access to them, so perhaps I'll find enough to be able to re-introduce the grid and have it be kept this time (the irony here, of course, is that it's going to require a lot of 'original research time' to track down the back-up, which is why I think the term is a misnomer on the standards of 'no original research' and that 'original conclusions' would be a better term for the policy - I'm sure this distinction was probably debated ad infinitum back in the day, though). Anyway, just thought I'd share the info. Thanks. Starmiter 02:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Re User:131.183.238.102
Thank you for making a report on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. User has not vandalized since final warning. fishhead64 06:22, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Requesting suggestion relating to Huntress (Helena Wayne)
Jc37,

I've come to highly respect your opinion. You have shown support towards me quite often even in the face of adversity and also given me some frank reminders when necessary. I'm attempting to broker a different path towards communication with fellow editors and have diverted my energy towards other projects such as combatting of vandalism. There is a particular article, Huntress (Helena Wayne) that I believe objectively meets criteria similiar to Huntress (Helena Bertinelli) and Paula Brooks. All of these articles were split from the Huntress (comics) main article in October of 2006 or thereabouts, and all were allowed to exist and develop further for a few months. Following my insistence on a particular related article, the Wayne article was included and summarily changed to a redirect page based on WP:FICTION. Yet this same criteria is not applied to the above two articles. I find this incredulous while at the same moment wondering if the article would not have been contested had I not been connected to it. If so I regret my involvement. Mention has been made that there was a consensus, yet only two editors changed the article to a redirect (Steve Block and Lesfer) while others seem to be on the fence without a definitive stand. I would ask for direction from yourself as to how to proceed with the community towards reconsidering this article. It will be intrepreted as WP:OWN on my part as having created it. Truthfully, the entire PH along with picture and other contents could be changed at this point by others and I wouldn't object. However, I cannot reconcile an application of WP:FICTION in one article's case yet not in comparable articles. At this point in the project, I cannot expect to build consensus and I understand this is personal. However, I feel a principal is involved greater than one editor. Regards. Netkinetic  (t / c / @) 01:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Please see User talk:Lesfer for further information. I've asked him to discuss on the article's talk page. I ask you to not comment at the user's talk page, in the hopes of keeping the discussion united in one place (Talk:Huntress (comics)). I hope this helps. - jc37 05:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reference to that talk page consideration, Jc37. I'm unsure if anything I say will be accepted in a manner that will solicit a positive response. It is apparent a few simply have no interest in dialogue beyond finger pointing. Of course I may be wrong. Netkinetic <sup style="color:green;"> (t / c / @) 20:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Vandal
You sent me a message about my deletion being inappropriate. Perhaps I'm not too familiar with Wikipedia editing rules but I gave an explanation of why the section should be deleted on the "Left-wing politics" talk page under the subsection "Accuracy Dispute - Huge problems with the political violence section." A previous user commented in January 2007 about how the section is factually inaccurate and tagged it as such. It is now May 2007 and no one as responded to the original objections. Since I believe that content of the section (though not the section itself) to be egregiously misleading and poorly written I went on to delete it. -df 12 May 2007.

Non-free use disputed for Image:MajorDisaster.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MajorDisaster.jpg. 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. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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.BetacommandBot 03:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Groupthink
By their very nature, I think all WikiProjects lend themselves to groupthink. It's an occupational hazard, one might say. Interestingly, in my early days as a member of WikiProject Comics, I frequently found myself on the losing side of arguements, directly in conflict with some of the longer-established project members whom I respected. These days, I find the opposite is true. I guess I must have drank the Kool-Aid somewhere along the line. ;) --GentlemanGhost 04:17, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Editing something doesn't equal obsessive-compulsive. As the pros say, writing is rewriting. I just don't use the preview feature much. Yeah, I know we should, but you know how it is when you've been working on something only to get a message saying there's an edit conflict because somebody else edited the page while you were writing.

Re: My Edit
The statement that currently exists is presented as fact by the author. It has always been in dispute and that's what I was referencing. However, I'm waaaaaaaay too tired and disinterested in rounding up the membership and then sourcing the refutation. Let him have the historical conceit. Those of us who were there will continue to question the veracity.

Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes)
Crosses, yes, but crucifixes? I was under the impression that use of the cross with the Christ figure on it was much more limited, and that the only group regularly using it which would be appropriate for Jaime's region and ethnicity would be Catholic, as I understand it. Lucky number 49 05:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe there are some Protestant denominations of a more recent derrivage that also use crucifixes, but I'll check it out. Still, although it is logicaly Reye's is Catholic due to several biographical factors, until explicitly stated it is original research which is a no-no.<b style="color:purple;">Netkinetic</b> <sup style="color:green;"> (t / c / @) 05:32, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Just 2¢ or so... (Looking out of curiosity over the header)
 * There is a short article at Crucifix that covers denominations that use them over plain crosses.
 * That being said, it sounds like a drawn conclusion that the Reyes are Catholic based on "religious wall decoration"+"ethnicity"+"setting". In that light it may be better to put off including the item until there is an explicit statement about the family's faith.

All the best
I'm not sure what you are referring to, but as long as you believe you are working to the betterment of the encyclopedia, and as long as you don't edit war and are prepared to accept you are wrong and to discuss issues, then ignoring all rules is a useful policy. I may be misunderstanding your message, but it is not a blank cheque to act as you will. I think perhaps you misread my whole comment to Tenebrae, which noted that the manual of style is at conflict with the comics exemplars, and in fact supercedes it. This allows the invocation of Ignore all rules. I'm glad to see you still find my contributions amusing and follow them with such zeal. The most amusing thing for me is that I actually liked your Earth two article and recall asking you to concentrate your arguments on the merits of the article, rather than the wiki-lawyering to which you descended and which failed to help your cause. Maybe in the future you'll bear that in mind and concentrate on what improves articles to our featured article status rather than the ins and outs of policies. Best wishes, Steve block Talk 10:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * And by the way, if you do wish to quote me, it's preferable that you quote the whole of what I said. Your partial quotes on my talk page obscure and in some instances contradict my actual meaning. Cheers. Steve block Talk 13:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Like I say, you have misinterpreted me. And by golly, I hadn't realised you'd followed my edits to that great a degree.  Still, if you are happy to assert your own meaning of my words over what I actually said and what I meant, then good luck to you.  Thank you for striving to help me grow as a person.

End of Evangelion
I hope you've seen the series and remember what happened, otherwise I am just wasting my time. During the original last two episodes, many assertions were made, such as that human personalities complement each other, each mind is only a small part of the possiblities, the implication that by others we can grow and learn. Then the rest of the episodes consisted of lots of bouncing of ideas off the different personalities, exploration of why they thought what they thought, the scenarios that Shinji was put thru, and finally his realization that his self-esteem was the main thing keeping him from forming proper relationships. The beginning of episode 26 describes how it shows the effect of the Instrumentality project on ONE INDIVIDUAL ONLY, because of time. The implication is that everyone else is going thru the same process. There is absolutely no reason to believe that Shinji's evolution is unique to himself; it has a kind of inevitability, as evidenced by Asuka's (or the Asuka-replica who is in his mind, at the very least) disgust at how long it takes him to realize what he finally realizes. If the Project failed, it failed by design.

But eh, what do I care if the Wikipedia articles on NGE are contradicting and misleading. I won't change it back, don't worry. 74.61.41.118 06:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

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

RC Patrol-related Proposals in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey
Greetings Recent Changes Patrollers!

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about technical proposals related to Recent Changes Patrol in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:

 * 1) Adjust number of entries and days at Last unpatrolled
 * 2) Editor-focused central editing dashboard
 * 3) "Hide trusted users" checkbox option on watchlists and related/recent changes (RC) pages
 * 4) Real-Time Recent Changes App for Android
 * 5) Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Note: You received this message because you have transcluded User wikipedia/RC Patrol (user box) on your user page. Since this message is "one-time-only" there is no opt out for future mailings.

Best regards, — Delivered: 01:12, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
