Kazu Kibuishi

Kazuhiro "Kazu" Kibuishi (born April 8, 1978) is a Japanese-born American graphic novel author and illustrator. He is best known for being the creator and editor of the comic anthology Flight and for creating the webcomic Copper. He is also the author and illustrator of the Amulet series.

Early life and education
Kibuishi was born April 8, 1978, in Tokyo, Japan. He moved to the United States with his mother and brother in 1982.

Kibuishi enrolled at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1996 to pursue a degree in film studies.[4] While attending UC Santa Barbara, he credits the university's newspaper, the Daily Nexus, as where his illustration career started.[4] Though he had previously drawn for his high school's newspaper, Kibuishi has stated that "[his career] all began when I started writing comics for the Nexus. I actually went to UCSB for film. I was trying to quit drawing."[4] He would ultimately serve as the Art Director for the Daily Nexus for three and a half years, and developed his comic Clive and Cabbage during his tenure.[4] He graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2000 with a B.A. in film studies.[5]

Career
Kibuishi started drawing at age five. He has stated that it was "the sadness that came from no longer having cool robot TV shows like Ultraman around once we came to the States that triggered a lot of my early drawings and projects." He has also noted Garfield and the magazines Mad Magazine, and CARtoons as catalysts for his love of comic books in particular.

After he graduated from UC Santa Barbara, Kibuishi worked as an animator for Shadedbox Animations for two years. He decided to leave animation to focus on comics, where he could spend more time writing. He started producing the monthly comic Copper at his website which ran for seven years, ending in 2009. Kazu Kibushi also made kids at Pieper Ranch Middle School (PRMS) happy by going by and giving signed copied of Amulet book 1 and 9, he also sketched in them too.

Flight
Flight was conceived by Kibuishi as an anthology with contributions coming from friends. The project was promoted at the Alternative Press Expo, where it attracted the attention of Erik Larsen, then-new publisher of Image Comics. This caused the project to explode, attracting talent from all over the industry. Image published the first volume in 2004 and the anthology series concluded with the eighth volume in 2011.

Explorer
Following the conclusion of Flight, the Explorer series was Kibuishi's anthology for children using many of the same contributors to Flight. Seen as a successor series, Explorer covered three books and concluded with Explorer: The Hidden Doors.

Amulet
Kibuishi is the creator of Amulet, a series of graphic novels which debuted in 2008 with The Stonekeeper. Scholastic won the rights to publish the series after they were victorious in a hotly contested auction. In addition to The Stonekeeper, other titles in the series include The Stonekeeper's Curse, The Cloud Searchers, The Last Council, Prince of the Elves, Escape From Lucien, Firelight, Supernova, and Waverider. The series concluded with the ninth and final book titled Waverider, which released on February 6th, 2024.

Other projects
While editing Flight Volume 1, Kibuishi created the 4-issue steampunk graphic novel Daisy Kutter: The Last Train, published by Viper Comics.

Through his relationship with Scholastic, Kibuishi was asked to illustrate the covers for the Harry Potter novels for inclusion in the 15th anniversary edition box set.

He also illustrated the story "?" for the short story collection Machine of Death.

Honors and awards
Kibuishi's Flight Volume 2 was nominated for the 2006 Eisner Award for Best Anthology. Daisy Kutter: The Last Train was named as one of the 2006 Best Books for Young Adults by the Young Adult Library Services Association.

His series Amulet has spent numerous weeks on The New York Times' Best Seller list.

Personal life
Kibuishi is married to fellow illustrator and collaborator Amy Kim Ganter. He has two children, Juni and Sophie. He resides in Bellevue, Washington. Shortly after the publication of Escape From Lucien in 2012, he suffered a life-threatening case of bacterial meningitis which resulted in a hospital stay for weeks and being induced into a coma for treatment.

UCD and Yale Blue
Hi. I noticed a little revert war going on at University of California, Davis. This whole blue business is actually kind of messy, but hopefully my recent edits (see ) has cleared it up. What you wrote in the edit summary about why there is a blue is correct, but nonetheless Yale Blue is actually a particular shade of blue and UCD's specifications give a different shade. In my edit I tried to clarify the blue's origin, while making it clear that the shades are different. There's actually a source of confusion even at Yale over what Yale Blue should be, but I think my summary is reasonably accurate. --C S (Talk) 11:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

RE:Image:Long-dragon.jpg
Hi there. I've reverted your replacement of this image with one with "long2" written in running script. This is because the first image is used on several articles where it is necessary for readers to have the full, accurate shape and strokes of the character. I've uploaded your version to another location, Image:Long-dragon-running.jpg. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia! -- Миборовский U 06:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Did you still have the chinese fonts ?
Did you still have the chinese fonts use to make this serie of image :

I need such font to expand the commons:Chinese stroke order project. Can you upload it on a website, then tell me where (http address), to allow me to download them ?

I really need those 4 fonts. Yug (talk)  15:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Hello there.

 * I've looked into the project, and actually questioned the necessity of including those four types of script into which.

 * First, there is NO stroke orders for 行書 and 草書. I repeat, NO stroke orders. These two scripts are not rigid; they are handwritten, artistic. For every individual, there exists a unique manner of writing, which, of course, including where to start writing a character and when to end it. The computer fonts for 行書 and 草書 are there for their aesthetic value, but you have to realize that they are in no way representing a regulated form of both scripts; in fact, there are dozens of fonts available already nowadays dedicated to both scripts, each of them with different "tilts", or to say, coming in different fashions. Hence it will be improper to include both scripts into the project.
 * Second, about 篆書. I am a native Chinese, and actually, I don't know the proper stroke orders for 篆書; the basic elements of writing in that script is totally different from the daily script we common people learn and use now, ie. 楷書. I looked into your self-introduction and, no offense meant but, I'm worry about whether you could offer correct information on this aspect. People with expertise in the calligraphy of this script is needed to ensure the validity of the information distributed.

 * Last, I also cannot see the necessity to include 隸書 in. In terms of stroke orders, I'd say more than 95% of 隸書 is identical to how things are in 楷書; the difference between 隸書 and 楷書 is majorly in the maneuvering of the brush, not in characters themselves. Being plain, I could not see many benefits in including 隸書 as well.

 * If the above is not your intention however, please elaborate me more on your idea, and I will see how I can be of help. -- G.S.K.Lee 15:42, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

 * It's in fact for this sister project, which aim not to show the stroke order, but only the evolution. I just need the good fonts to expand it. Yug (talk)

 * First, thanks for your kind answers.
 * In fact, I already know for the unreadable (and maybe un-existing?) stroke order for old scripts. I wrote myself the section Stroke order (which may be improve), stating that the stroke order is truly readable only on 隸書 & 楷書.
 * I also agree that 行書 and 草書 have no standardized stroke orders, are not rigid because are handwritten and purely artistic.
 * In the category of "Readable Stroke Order Script" (隸書 & 楷書), I also agree that stroke order of 隸書 should be at 95% identical to the stroke order in 楷書.
 * This is just to show that I have a basic understanding of these issues (calligraphic stroke order over time and scripts // but still not enough, it's true), and to go toward some efficient solutions. Yug (talk)  16:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Discussion about the Ancient Chinese characters project:

 * You have to realize that this is a very delicate and academic work more than just ripping off the content of the font files, converting them into images then uploading them all. There are omissions and errors in these font files. They are never meant to be cited as a reliable academic source for an encyclopedia; they are there for their aesthetic values as I have mentioned clearly above. True, part of the content these fonts provided is correct. Which also means another part is flawed.

 * I was able to contribute the above images to Wikipedia because I have basic knowledges in 文字學, and I know to choose those examples which I am a hundred percent sure they are right and are fine to be presented before the public. Some of them with minor flaws were even processed by me with image manipulation programs to ensure their correctness.

 * As such, I am afraid I cannot easily offer what you were requesting without the team members prove it first that at least some of them have sufficient knowledges in 文字學 as well to properly handle this task, or I will not risk to see I am - sorry, but allow me to be plain - possibly helping to spread false information around. There already are, in fact, several marvelous academic documentations in hard copies available detailing what the project is trying to do. If the project really means to be serious, tell the team members to get a copy of 漢語大字典. They will find what they all want inside the tomes, and only by digitalizing such authoritative information source will they finish something truely worth to be finished. -- G.S.K.Lee 17:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The Ancient Chinese characters project was started with the aim to use the data of http://www.internationalscientific.org/ (甲骨文－金文－大篆－小篆). But we have not enough contributers.
 * So, for other styles, I try to set up a "massive alternative solution". The alternative solution need for each style a chosen and accurate font and an hand-made computer script, then we can automatically make a wide set of Images. This alternative solution keep the aim to be as accurate as possible (more than 95% of the characters without clear mistake). I think such level of accuracy may be done with some fonts for :
 * － 隶书 and 楷书, because the shape is standardized;
 * － 行書 and 草書, because the shape can change, I think this may allow us to use unperfect fonts.
 * Of course, I noticed that some fonts seem better that some others. That's why I look for the best fonts available.
 * On commons, you said "I would recommend 中國龍金石篆. As far as I see the font remains correct references to all ancient/obsolete allographs. -- G.S.K.Lee 09:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)"
 * All this lead me to ask your help, such :
 * If we found some accurate fonts, my solution is ok. But I ask you: "Do you think we can got some fonts accurate enough to share on Wikipedia the production of this alternative solution ?"
 * Particularly, Know you some good fonts in 隶书, 楷书, 行書 and 草書 which are accurate enough to do the job ? (+names, link to download, http://www.zhaozi.cn)
 * (For my own use, I'm interesting to get the most accurate fonts also for 甲骨文－金文－大篆－小篆, even if the rate of accuracy is lower than 80%, but I think most fonts about those script are purely aesthetic and really not accurate enough to do anything on wikipedia)
 * Moreover, are you in Taiwan ? I will be in Taiwan from August 2007 to April 2008. I will look for more information and help about Chinese calligraphy.
 * Waiting you answer, Yug (talk)  16:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The main problem at hand currently will be how to properly address the WP:WEB issue, and since I have no plans to rage wars over there with the current guidelines, I guess the best we can do is to try to promote the game and see if we can boost its, well, notability. -- G.S.K.Lee 16:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Knowledge is Power
I was born in New York. I'm an international marketing consultant as well as a cunning linguist. I worked for defense companies and engineered cars in Detroit.

I've got credentials and degrees in engineering, therapy, and linguistics. which makes me a real hoot at parties.

Speaking of parties, I'm a moderate extremist(!). Never get your politics or any opinion from anyone that's angry... history has shown that just gets you Germans marching down the streets of Paris again.

As you can see from the History for this page, I've been in Wiki since 2004. I work for a living so I don't spend as much time here working article as I'd like.

You'll see me editing articles for three reasons:
 * The first is accuracy
 * The second is to remove linguistic bias
 * The third is to make the article easier to understand.

Wiki is a terrific project but I just wish that people would just teach themselves how to write better. I see massive run-on sentences all the time. Make it shorter, people. And try to have some patience!

Sâniob

Sâniob (Szentjobb) is a commune in Bihor County, Crișana, Romania. The village was named after Stephen I of Hungary's Holy Dexter - his preserved right hand which was kept in an abbey here. The name was granted by Ladislaus I of Hungary in 1083. It was conquered by the Ottomans in 1661, becoming the seat of a sanjak in Varat Eyalet. Called Şenköy by the new authorities, it was captured by the Habsburg monarchy in 1691.

It is composed of four villages:

 * Cenaloș (Csanálos), to the southeast of Sâniob
 * Ciuhoi (Berettyócsohaj ), to the south of Sâniob
 * Sâniob
 * Sfârnaș (Berettyófarnos), to the southwest of Sâniob

At the 2011 census, 56.7% of inhabitants were Hungarians, 37.3% Romanians and 5.6% Roma. 46.1% were Roman Catholic, 29% Romanian Orthodox, 16.4% Reformed, 5.9% Pentecostal and 0.9% Greek-Catholic.

Known as Sâniob prior to 1968, the commune's name was changed to Ciuhoi that year and its seat moved to the latter village. In 2012, the commune's previous name was revived and the seat moved back to Sâniob village.

Talk:Libertarian Republican

Republitarian?
I don't think a Libertarian Republican has ever been called a Republitarian. Or at least I've never heard someone call it that. I think liberty Republican or Constitutional Conservative sounds better. Even paleoconservative is a better name than Republitarian. I'll change it if there's no feed back.Libertybrewcity (talk) 02:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like a lot of bloggers use it, but I couldn't find any reliable sources with a quick Google search. I am fine with it being removed. –CWenger ( ^ •  @ ) 02:52, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Public figures
The list of "public figures" is very poorly sourced. I can't find any in which the entries are specifically called "Libertarian Republicans". Instead, it appears that there are some details in the sources which have led editors here to conclude that they qualify. If so, that's a violation of WP:NOR, a core content policy. I am going to remove all the entries that do not have sources with clear sources.  Will Beback   talk    08:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Gary Johnson
I'm not sure it's proper to list Gary Johnson as a "Libertarian Republican" given his switch in 2011 to the Libertarian Party. The label "libertarian" surely still applies, but "Republican" appears no longer to fit. -- JeffBillman (talk) 18:22, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If we're only including current members of the Republican Party, then no, Johnson should not be listed here. I'm not sure that's the standard for inclusion, however. He is listed under Governors, and he governed New Mexico as a libertarian Republican. So it is a matter of whether we exclusively list current capital "R" Republicans or if those who have previously served as libertarian R's are listed as well.--JayJasper (talk) 19:33, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Excellent question. It seems to me we should list those who have previously served, UNLESS they later left the Republican Party and did not return.  So for example, if we had a source that said that Charlie Crist was a libertarian Republican (and to be clear, I've not seen such a claim, let alone a source), we could not list Crist unless he returned to the GOP.  Bob Barr should be listed, because he did return to the GOP.  Gary Johnson has not returned, as of this writing. -- JeffBillman (talk) 21:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Why not just put an asterisk? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.22.125 (talk) 13:35, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Seconding the asterisk or similiar inclusion of a note; Johnson DID serve as Governor of New Mexico as a Republican after all. It could even be reasonably argued that he left the GOP only after necessity if he wanted to continue running for President. That being said, I sincerely doubt whether Johnson WILL ever return to the GOP, so it remains a question of elasticity: should former Republicans still be included in the list? I'd say so as long as the fact is somehow clarified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Labot2001 (talk • contribs) 17:57, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

He is listed as the former Governor of New Mexico, not as a Presidential candidate. He certainly should be listed as a libertarian Republican, since he was a Republican when he held office. Some kind of notation would clarify his party change.

Asterisk would be appropriate, as he is not currently a Republican Party member, but he was elected to public office as a Republican; he even ran for POTUS in the GOP primary, and changed affiliations to the LP. It is accurate to label him as a libertarian republican, as well as a Libertarian republican, and a libertarian Republican, as he has been all three at some point in his political career. Tbessler (talk) 22:25, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Just wondering if any of the listed "libertarian Republicans" adhere to the NAP, the underlining foundation of libertarianism? Sort of makes "libertarian Republican" an oxymoron, don't you think? Johnson did not refer to himself as being libertarian while a Republican. I also see Rand Paul listed. I have been with the libertarian movement since 1975 and I can assure you Rand is not libertarian, not even close. This whole article is just a wishful thinking fantasy. Jeff Smith (talk) 00:26, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Cleveland
Grover Cleveland was a Democrat... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.120.129 (talk) 19:58, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Right you are. Cleveland has been removed from the page.--JayJasper (talk) 20:05, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

OnTheIssues.org as RS
An IP has recently deleted material supported by www.ontheissues.org/ & other sources. Discussion is invited as to whether these sources are WP:RS. (The material is now restored.) – S. Rich (talk) 22:14, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Chris Christie?
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any libertarians who'd consider Chris Christie one of their own. He supports gun control (the other person the article claims, Cuomo, drafted a sweeping gun confiscation bill in his state) and Rand dissed him. He spoke to one of their groups, but that doesn't mean he's with them on the issues and the article also said they groaned during his speech. He's more of a Rockefeller Republican like Romney, Snowe or McCain, which is extremely different. J390 (talk) 04:00, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems that the sources cited say "libertarian". (Admittedly, I haven't looked at them.) OnTheOtherHand, On the Issues.org lists him as a "Moderate Liberal Populist" . (What it really comes down to -- politicians seek to understand (and then repeat) what their constituents want to hear.) Based on what OTI says, recommend removing him from the list. – S. Rich (talk) 04:34, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

"Libertarian-leaning" Republican/Democrat parameters
The article Libertarian Democrat has had some edit warring over including Obama as a "libertarian-leaning" Democrat. (I am inclined to say no, he is not libertarian.) To hopefully resolve the issue on that page, I have proposed changing the parameters for defining "Libertarian Democrat" at Talk:Libertarian Democrat. In the interests of consistency between the LD & LR articles, I propose that the listing of "libertarian-leaning Republicans" be limited to those "who are described as libertarian or libertarian-leaning by commentators, or who have been endorsed by Libertarian political parties." Comments here (or on the LD talkpage) are welcome. – S. Rich (talk) 16:34, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

 * EVERYBODY leans towards libertarianism in some fashion or another. It is the amount in which a person leans away from libertarianism that defines them. Calling Republicans or Democrats libertarian is incorrect and downright silly. This coming from someone who was involved with the libertarian movement since 1975. Bunco man (talk) 17:22, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Strikeouts of "former" members
Some recent edits have added strikeout typeface for former or past subscribers of libertarianism. This sort of editing is prone to original research. I've removed the strikeouts and tried to expand, refine the intro sentence to allow for past & present subscribers of libertarianism. – S. Rich (talk) 03:37, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Libertarian Republican is an oxymoron
I've been with the Libertarian Party since 1976. Only those who call themselves libertarian Republicans agree that such a thing exists. The Libertarian Party does not acknowledge the possibility. The reason is that the underling philosophy of libertarianism is the NAP (Non-Aggression Principle). One cannot be a libertarian without adhering to it. The Republican Party does not adhere to the NAP. You either adhere to it or you don't, you can't do both. That makes the term libertarian Republican an oxymoron. Jeff Smith (talk) 14:29, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I added information on the NAP with link-backs and a good reference. Although the core principle of libertarianism lay with the NAP I expect there to be issues with vandalism. Jeff Smith (talk) 19:33, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It's funny that you say it's an oxymoron, when the American "Libertarian Party" is an oxymoron itself. Libertarianism is stateless socialism. I wonder how many Republicans would disavow calling themselves libertarian if they knew that? JanderVK (talk) 15:42, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Cleaning up this page and tackling weak sourcing
I've removed a bunch of content (under the "list of libertarian Republicans") that is weakly sourced, namely:

 * Citations to the "OntheIssues.com" aggregator. This website does have a methodology for assigning descriptions (e.g., "libertarian-leaning conservative"), but it is limited in scope and these descriptions frequently change.
 * Citations that merely say that Ron Paul or Lew Rockwell endorsed or praised the person. This alone doesn't support a description of an individual as "libertarian" — something more is needed.
 * Citations to blogs, YouTube clips, etc.
 * Mere citations to collections of voting records, etc., which do not directly describe the person as libertarian.

I think the sort of sources we need are (1) journalistic accounts describing the individual as libertarian or (2) statements of the person describing himself or herself as libertarian. Neutralitytalk 16:24, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * One of the main problems is that libertarianism already has a definition. Republicans do not have the option of redefining the term and philosophy simply because they decided to add the title to Republican. Bunco man (talk) 20:27, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Neutrality please cease removing sourced information. Libertarianism is libertarianism, the source does not need to include Republican-libertarian to be about libertarianism. Bunco man (talk) 21:51, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This page is about libertarian Republicans. Citing to a random FAQ page on an advocacy group's website, when the FAQ doesn't even mention the Republicans once, is not proper. It moreover does not support the claim made on this article. Neutralitytalk 23:04, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * @Neutrality: Again, libertarianism is libertarianism, and the definition (the philosophy, principles, etc) doesn't change just because because we write Republican after it. Bunco man (talk) 00:40, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, but that's irrelevant. The question is why it should be on this page. Neutralitytalk 00:48, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps because this page is named Libertarian Republican. That fact makes my comment VERY relevant. Bunco man (talk) 01:19, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Why do you think a random FAQ page on an advocacy group's website, when the FAQ doesn't even mention the Republicans once, is a proper reliable source for an article on libertarian Republicans? Neutralitytalk 02:19, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, let me try another route. I have been with the libertarian movement since 1975. The definition and the principles have never changed. Putting Republican after libertarian does not change the definition of libertarianism. The source doesn't mention Republicans, because libertarianism (a non-aggression based entity) has nothing to do with Republicans (aggression based entities). The NAP is a foundation principle of Libertarianism. Republicans oppose the NAP. Does that help clarify the comment within the article? Bunco man (talk) 03:18, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * No, that's not responsive to the question I put. The question is this: "Why do you think a random FAQ page on an advocacy group's website, when the FAQ doesn't even mention the Republicans once, is a proper reliable source for an article on libertarian Republicans?" Neutralitytalk 04:33, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps there may be a better source out there that explains what I have already. That the "opposition to the use of the term libertarian Republican comes from the libertarian adherence to the non-aggression principle..." However, the source used is perfectly fine for this purpose as the libertarian principles are long established. I added another reference link to the Statement of Principles in the Libertarian Party platform that lists the NAP as one of the main principles in libertarianism. Bunco man (talk) 05:12, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Libertarian Republican isn't a Thing
Libertarian Republican isn't an actual thing. The proper terminology would be paleo-conservative. Paleo-conservatives are distantly similar to Libertarians but are fundamentally different on key issues. My suggestion is to delete the article or rename it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.150.184.160 (talk) 09:01, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * This is indeed true, "Libertarian Republican isn't a thing," although many Republicans and right-wingers think it is. The main drawback with allowing anybody and everybody to edit on an encyclopedia, is that they do. It's especially a problem with politics where the opposition to a philosophy, such as libertarianism, can work to injure it. In this case, libertarianism is a philosophy based on the two foundation principles of [1] self-ownership and [2] non-aggression. The Republican Party and the right-wing doctrine does not adhere to non-aggression. The Republicans decided that they had the option to redefine what libertarianism is and isn't. They have no preference to change the definition of libertarian, so that it is a right-wing or left-wing entity, no more than anyone else has a claim to redefine Republican, as a communist entity. Bunco man (talk) 21:43, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

No original research / SYNTH / reliable sourcing
I have removed the following improper sentence:

{{Opposition to the use of the term libertarian Republican comes from the libertarian adherence to the non-aggression principle, advocating that the initiation of force against the life, liberty or property of an individual is immoral, and to which the Republican Party platform and its ideological base of neoconservative partisans do not adhere.

{{Reflist-talk}}

This sentence has a boatload of problems:
 * First - It is not supported by the cited sources - neither source appears to mention the Republican Party or libertarian Republicans at all. See No original research; Synthesis. No do the cited sources show that the Republican Party has an "ideological base of neoconservative partisans" - that's surely POV and is not accurate at all.
 * Second - even if the cited sources did support these points, they would not be sufficient to make this claim, especially not in Wikipedia's own voice. The sources are (1) the Advocates for Self-Government, an advocacy group and (2) the Libertarian Party's own website. These are not scholarly sources and definitely can't be used to make a claim in Wikipedia's own voice. -- Neutrality{{sup|talk}} 23:10, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

 * {{u|Bunco man}}: Please immediately self-revert your re-insertion of this content. I have laid out in detail the many problems with it, with reference to Wikipedia policy. Neutrality{{sup|talk}} 23:16, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Libertarianism, the Party, and libertarianism, the philosophy, both adhere to the foundation principle of non-aggression (NAP: non-aggression principle). This has not changed since the formation of libertarianism in Europe and America. It is literally part of the definition. The two sources show this to be true, but you want to simply insist this is not the case. Bunco man (talk) 23:23, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

 * {{u|Bunco man}}: What you are doing right now is engaging in original research and synthesis. Neither source mentions the Republican Party or Republicans — not a single time.  And even if they did, a link to the Libertarian Party's platform and to a non-scholarly advocacy group's website would not be an acceptable source.
 * You've edit-warred, repeatedly, to re-insert these claims. Please self-revert. I don't want to seek arbitration remedies, but I will do so if it's necessary to keep these unsourced claims out of the article. Neutrality{{sup|talk}} 23:27, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm here as a neutral party in response to a posting on the No original research noticeboard. The cited source does, of course, support the idea that libertarianism is based on non-agression, but it does not support the statement that "Opposition to the use of the term libertarian Republican comes from" that. The statement is thus making the argument that libertarian Republicanism cannot be libertarianism and the making of such arguments is the very thing that the No original research policy prohibits. We only report what reliable sources say. The statement is clearly prohibited by the policy. There may (or may not) also be issues with whether that source is a reliable source as defined by Wikipedia, but that issue is moot since it does not support the material for which it is cited.

So, even though "libertarian Republicans" do not adhere to the definition and principles of libertarianism, they can simply "over-rule" it. That is what is happening here.

 * No, what is happening here is that we're building an encyclopedia based upon verifiability, as defined by Wikipedia. While truth is extremely important, it must be verifiable truth since we have no paid board of professional editors to decide what content is and is not appropriate.

Miller, Hunter, etc.
I strongly object to this edit, which removed very well-cited, well-attributed content, which I duplicate below (in green type):

"* Jack Hunter, radio talk show host ("The Southern Avenger"), political commentator, former aide to Rand Paul, editor of Rare Politics – has written of his "attraction to libertarianism." Hunter was a longtime defender of the Confederate flag and expressed neo-Confederate views, which libertarian commentator and law professor Ilya Somin criticized in 2013 as inconsistent with libertarianism; in 2015, Hunter stated that he was wrong about the flag.

 * Dennis Miller, television personality – described himself as a "conservative libertarian" in the 1990s, although "his commentary always contained a streak of right-wing populism." After the September 11 attacks, Miller's views, particularly on foreign and defense policy, drifted further to the right."

If a person is a libertarian Republican for part of their career, but not for another, that is obviously worth mentioning. Individual opinions obviously change over time; this is well cited (and, in the case of Somin, well-attributed). There's no policy-based rationale for deleting, nor has any been meaningfully given. Neutralitytalk 14:18, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Given that there has been no response for over a month, and no objection, I'm making the appropriate edit. Neutralitytalk 02:04, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Biography
McCabe was born in Clones, County Monaghan. He resides in Clones with his artist wife Margot Quinn and two daughters, Katie and Ellen. Aged 17 he migrated to London and worked as a teacher, returning to Ireland after finding success as a writer.

The play Frank Pig Says Hello, which he adapted from The Butcher Boy, was first performed at the Dublin Theatre Festival in 1992.

McCabe's 2001 novel Emerald Germs of Ireland is a black comedy featuring matricide. Winterwood, published in 2006, was 2007 Hughes & Hughes/Irish Independent Irish Novel of the Year. 2009 saw the publication of The Holy City. The Stray Sod Country was described as "Strangely elegiac, gloriously operatic and driven by (...) wild and savage imagination, (...) an eerie folk tale that chronicles the passing of a generation."

Director and novelist Neil Jordan has adapted both The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto into films.

Talk:Seventh son of a seventh son

Untitled
This article should be linked to other relevant ones. Hydriotaphia 08:19, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

"The seventh son of a seventh son is also widely believed to have a direct link to Satan in some areas, and is thus granted with other "special abilities."" What "special abilities"? Sexual?? Should be more clear and less. . . ashamed. . . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.60.182.124 (talk) 07:59, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Removing Biblical "reference"
i don't see any Biblical support of this "seventh son" notion. saying, "the Bible mentions the number 7, so it supports the seventh son concept!" is like saying, "people make swords, so Excalibur is real!" there's a connecting term (7 and 7, sword and a sword), but there's absolutely no logical connection. unless there is a specific verse that mentions "Seventh Son" in the Bible, then this reference should be removed.

Either the reference was removed or you are reading this wrong.

Discworld reference
From Sourcery

''There was an eighth son of an eighth son. He was quite naturally, a wizard. And there it should have ended. However (for reasons we'd better not go into), he had seven sons. And then he had an eighth son ... a wizard squared ... a source of magic ... a Sourcerer. ''

 * -=# Amos E Wolfe talk #=- 17:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Meaning?
The seventh son of a seventh son is which of the following?
 * The seventh child (a son) born to a mother and father then begets at least seven more children, the seventh who is a son.
 * Seven sons are born to a mother and father (although they may have more than 7 children), and the son 7th in line then also begets at least seven sons.
 * Seven lineages all bear a son, followed by seven more lineages who all bear a son.

Can someone please clarify and update the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 1000Faces (talk • contribs) 05:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC).

I think that it's the second one.

Contradiction
In the folklore, do intervening daughters break the sequence? Th first lines of the article say yes, but further down the same paragraph the answer is given as no. I'm removing both until we have an answer so as to avoid confusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.82.82 (talk) 00:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Scratch that. I see that I was misreading it. However, I still don't see what the last part of the first paragraph means, as I don't understand what case is being referred to. Any explanation or rephrasing would be much appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.82.82 (talk) 00:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Seriously?
The article states that in Latin America, this is a curse that "can only be broken if the president is the child's godfather." Seriously? You have to get the President of the country to become the godfather of the seventh son of a seventh son? This reeks of bullshit to me, but as I have no proof, I'm leaving as is. — Eric Herboso 10:54, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Tantra
There is a tradition in tantrism that eating the flesh of a "seven-times returner", i.e. someone who has been reborn seven times as a human being, confers magical abilities, especially aiding the practitioner in becoming enlightened. The flesh is made into pills. I know someone who owns such a pill.

Like most things tantric, it would be difficult to obtain reliable sources for this! Also, it's not directly related to the 'seventh son' thing. But it seems rather close.... MrDemeanour (talk) 05:25, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Another example
Michael Collins (elder), father of Michael Collins (Irish Republican/leader/hero) was a 7 of 7 (according to the article on Michael Collins younger.

Winthrop Sargent

Winthrop Sargent (May 1, 1753 – June 3, 1820) was a United States patriot, politician, and writer; and a member of the Federalist party.

Early life
Sargent was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, on May 1, 1753. He was one of eight children born to Winthrop Sargent (1727–1793) and Judith Saunders. His elder sister was Judith Sargent Murray (1751–1820), an essayist, playwright, and poet.

He was the grandson of Colonel Epes Sargent, one of the largest landholders in Gloucester. Sargent was also the nephew of Daniel Sargent Sr. (1730–1806), a prominent merchant, Paul Dudley Sargent (1745–1828), who also served in the Continental Army, and John Sargent (1750–1824), a Loyalist during the Revolution.

He graduated from Harvard College Class of 1771 before the Revolution. He spent some time at sea, as captain of a merchantman owned by his father.

Career
Shortly after the outbreak of the American Revolution, Sargent was commissioned in Gridley's Regiment of Massachusetts Artillery on July 7, 1775, as a lieutenant, and later that year was promoted to captain lieutenant of Knox's Regiment, Continental Artillery, on December 10. He was with his guns at the siege of Boston, and later served in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth. He was promoted to captain in the 3rd Continental Artillery on January 1, 1777, and brevetted major on August 25, 1783, and was discharged from the Continental Army later that year. In 1783 he became an Original Member of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati.

In 1786, he helped to survey the Seven Ranges, the first lands laid out under the Land Ordinance of 1785. With inside knowledge of the area, he went on to form the Ohio Company of Associates, was an important shareholder in the Scioto Company, and as of 1787, secretary of the Ohio Company.

Sargent was appointed by the Congress of the Confederation as the first Secretary of the Northwest Territory, a post second in importance only to the governor, Arthur St. Clair. He took up his post in 1788. Like St. Clair, Sargent would function in both civil and military capacities; he served as acting Adjutant General of U.S. Army from September 1791 until he was wounded twice at the Battle of the Wabash, on November 4, 1791. On August 15, 1796, he would, as Acting Governor, proclaim the establishment of Wayne County, the first American government in what is now Michigan.

President John Adams then appointed Sargent the first Governor of the Mississippi Territory, effective from May 7, 1798, to May 25, 1801. His last entry as Northwest Territory's secretary was on May 31, 1798; he arrived at Natchez on August 6, but due to illness was unable to assume his post until August 16.

The subject was a cotton planter, marketing his crop in New York by Gilbert and John Aspinwall, merchants.

Later life
In 1788, Sargent was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was also a member of the American Philosophical Society elected in 1789 and an original member of the Society of the Cincinnati as a delegate from Massachusetts, and published, with Benjamin B. Smith, Papers Relative to Certain American Antiquities (Philadelphia, 1796), and "Boston," a poem (Boston, 1803).

Being a Federalist, Sargent was dismissed from his position as territorial governor of Mississippi in 1801 by incoming president Thomas Jefferson. Sargent took up life in the private sector, developing his plantation Gloucester, the earliest such establishment in Natchez. Sargent was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1813.

During the last decades of Winthrop's life he became major plantation owner in [Natchez, Mississippi]. He acquired extensive plantations due to his marriage to wealthy widow Mary (McIntosh) Williams. In Natchez alone Winthrop owned over 300 slaves and 11,000 acres.

Personal life
In 1789, he married Roewena Tupper (1766–1790), a daughter of Gen. Benjamin Tupper, at the settlement of Marietta in the first marriage ceremony held under the laws of the Northwest Territory. After her death, he married Hannah Ober of Massachusetts on 13 Feb 1791. They had a daughter, Hannah born 25 August 1791 in Massachusetts, and Hannah Ober died the next day. Then he married Mary McIntosh Williams (1760–1823) shortly after moving to Natchez. They were the parents of:

 * Caroline Augusta Sargent (1795–1844), who married Fielding Lewis Turner (1776–1843)
 * William Fitz-Winthrop Sargent (b. 1799)
 * George Washington Sargent (1802–1864), who married Margaret Isabella Jessie Percy (1802–1865).

He died on June 3, 1820, in New Orleans. His grandson was the writer Winthrop Sargent (1825–1870). A 1848 Louisiana Supreme Court case decided that the Louisiana portion of Winthrop's estate which included real estate, timber, agricultural properties in Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Virginia and Massachusetts would be divided between his son George Washington Sargent as well as his stepchildren through his marriage to Mary Williams. These step children included Mary (Williams) Urquhart and Mary Sargents grandchildren through her deceased son James C Williams, namely David Percy Williams. Some of the properties of Winthrop Sargent were passed through the Natchez David Williams family who arrived in the 1700s according to Supreme Court case. The Winthrop Sargent estate was worth several million dollars in 1700s currency and valued at nearly 10 million dollars in the mid-1800s when his heirs divided his estate. One of the heirs of Winthrops estate was Archie P Williams a mixed race slave owner who became a millionaire in 1800s dollars due to his 1/4th share of Sargents estate through his grandfather James C Williams. The majority of the Winthrop Sargent estate today is owned by one of the Williams heirs, Anton R Williams. Anton R. Williams Holding Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan and its funding arm continues legacy business operations

Legacy
Although there are at least two Sargent Townships (in Illinois and Nebraska) and one Sargent County, it is not known if these are named after Winthrop Sargent. However, a former township of the Northwest Territory's Wayne County was designated as Sargent Township or the District of Sargent; this apparently encompassed the settlements downriver from Detroit and at the River Raisin in what is now Monroe County, Michigan. This township apparently ceased to function after the organization of Michigan Territory, being replaced by the District of Erie. A student dormitory at Ohio University (founded in 1804) in Athens, Ohio, is named Sargent Hall in his honor. This is the first university in the Northwest Territory and the first in Ohio.

Talk:Solovki prison camp

What did Gorky know?

 * Yuri Brodsky (Юрий Бродский), Solovki. 20 years of Special Regime (Соловки. 20 лет особого назначения).

Whether or not Gorky know of local conditions will remain a mystery

This is not exactly true, according to Solzhenicin some young boy informed Gorky of what was going on in the camp including in all the macabre details. See his book "Gulag Archipelago"
 * But Gorky spoke with the boy behind closed doors. Because the boy appears to have been shot afterwards, and Gorky never said anything about it, there is no verifiable source what Gorky knew exactly. Popular myth has it that Gorky was crying after he left the boy, but again, this revolves around verifiable information and that is not available. Errabee 14:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

There are other stories about Gorky's visit. In the 1987 Goldovskaya film, "The Solovki Regime" it is stated that a prisoner in the suspiciously clean and tidy reading room deliberately held the prison's propaganda newspaper upside down when Gorky entered.

Gorky took the newspaper out of the man's hands and turned it the right way up, the implication being that he understood this hint that a show had been put on to impress him.

The difficulty is to find documentary confirmation of what Gorky did and didn't know then.

John Crowfoot (talk) 10:13, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Under notable prisoners...

 * I've reverted this to the following...

...
 * H.H.Vinogradov - ethnographer
 * O.V.Volkov - writer
 * M.N.Voronoy - poet

Naftaly Frenkel was at first a prisoner, but later became commander of the camp.

 * Why this strange format? Somehow I feel that Frenkel should not be in the list of prisoners, because he was the most infamous commandant of the camp, responsible for much of the suffering.  Including him in the same list as his victims would really be an insult to the victims.
 * Nevertheless, he was a prisoner, so omitting him from the section would be an oversight. How to solve the problem?  Two separate lists (one exclusively for Frenkel) in the same section.  Some might say this is POV and prohibited by WP rules, but I don't think so.  Including him in the same list would be POV to me.  In any case WP:IAR could very well apply.  If somebody does insist on putting him in the list, at least properly alphabetize.  Smallbones (talk) 13:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

It's a very good point. Mention of Frenkel needs expanding and is in no sense POV.

Often such prisoners were security service personnel who had fallen out favour. In the camps they were given supervisory roles and continued to serve the GPU / OGPU / NKVD / NKGB etc monster and torment the other prisoners.

If you look at the brief account of Solovki jailer Pyotr Raevsky's career on the Mikhail Matveyev (NKVD officer) page (look at the "Life after Stalin" section) you will see just such a pattern.

John Crowfoot (talk) 10:07, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Changing the name of this article
Over the past month I have worked on several Wiki pages that relate to Solovki.

In particular, these concern Sandarmokh the site where the first transport were executed in October and November and Yury A. Dmitriev (a page I originated) who discovered Sandarmokh and also the site on Solovki where the others on the execution list were buried.

Earlier, I added to the reading list for Solovki two more memoirs that refer directly to the earliest and last periods of this remote penitentiary facility.

In my view, based on 30 years' familiarity with the subject - I translated the subtitles for Marina Goldovskaya's film in 1987, I saw Oleg Volkov talk, and I met and talked to Olga Sliozberg - it is right to refer to the location simply as Solovki, so long as it's location in the White Sea is made clear.

The title "Solovki prison camp", however, is inherently unsatisfactory.

One, it is an oxymoron. Prison was and remains a harsher regime for those imprisoned or detained in the Soviet Union or today's Russia (e.g. Alexei Pichugin). So what does "prison camp" mean?

Two, this is not a translation of any title for the institution in Russian - doing a reverse translation into Russian shows up that absurdity.

Three, this title leaves out a significant element of the facility's description, both as a camp (1923-1936) and in its last few years as a prison (1936-1939). In both cases it was described in Russian as "special purpose". This can best be duplicated in English by calling it the Solovki special camp and the Solovki special prison (better without inverted commas, I've been advised).

The process of renaming appears complicated and in all the "Also see" links I am providing in other articles currently under revision I describe it as the Solovki special prison.

I hope we can reach some consensus on the nomenclature.

John Crowfoot (talk) 09:53, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Shalamov was never imprisoned on Solovki
I have looked carefully at the referenced English page for Shalamov, and then at the page for him on Russian Wikipedia, and there is no evidence that he was ever imprisoned on the islands.

Instead, he served time first in the Perm Region, and later in Kolyma.

Accordingly, I am removing Shalamov's name from this list.

John Crowfoot (talk) 16:26, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Regrouping the list of notable prisoners
At present, the 20-30 names are listed by surname in (Latin) alphabetical order.

This does not sit very well, IMHO, with the rest of the article where the evolution of Solovki is clearly described. Those changes fall into three periods:

- the 1920s when the camp was used to isolate its prisoners for a few years from the rest of society;

- the period of the First Five-Year Plan (1928-1932) when efforts were made, under the direction of former prisoner Naftaly Frenkel, to make the camps pay for themselves;

- the late 1930s when many of the leading intellectuals and spiritual leaders held on Solovki were executed in fulfilment of quotas distributed from Moscow.

Regrouping the list in such a way may give readers a better feel for the changing nature of activities on Solovki and in the Gulag as a whole.

John Crowfoot (talk) 16:59, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

The sorting by period looks more informative, to me at least, and has been largely successful.

I still cannot identify G.J. Gordon, a historian, from other sources.

There were two names that were removed from the list. One, mentioned above, is that of Varlam Shalamov; the other, removed today, is Sergei Askoldov. Both were arrested more than once, but neither ever spent time on Solovki.

Why is he here?
I have been tempted, once again, to remove the following prisoner from the 1930s list because he seems to fall completely out of the time period when Solovki served as a camp or prison:

" Hamid bey Shahtakhtinski, Minister of Education and Religious Affairs of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (1918-1920): imprisoned 1941-1944 when he died."

Perhaps, however, he was held as a solitary captive, sent as far away from his native Azerbaijan as possible. Until further information is available, confirming that he was held on Solovki during the war years, therefore, I think he should remain.

An inaccuracy in The Gulag Archipelago reproduced here
Solzhenitsyn writes about the prisoner who, secretly knowing English, was concealed on an English vessel and lowered into the sea with a breathing tube each time the ship was searched. He writes that this prisoner's name was not known, but that the S. A. Malsagoff book An Island Hell appeared thereafter in the West. However, having read that book, Malsagoff escaped via Finland, and not alone. I cannot find who the English-speaking escapee was. My assumption is that he never wrote about what he had survived and Solzhenitsyn simply assumed in error that these two were the same man. Obviously he did not read An Island Hell, perhaps because it was published in English and not Russian, but a strange mistake in any case. Therefore I am removing the erroneous line and replacing the Gulag Archipelago citation with Malsagoff's own book. 2001:8003:346B:4C00:904D:855B:6EAF:9B33 (talk) 15:49, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
