Talk:Dharma & Greg

The below section was added by an anonymous editor, but I'm not at all sure it merits inclusion. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
 * seems unnessecery. ReverendG 06:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Trivia
The couple drives a black Saab 9-3 convertible. One evening they have sex in that car and one accidental passer-by asks:"Why are you having sex in a foreign car?". Another evening they spectacularly crash it while avoiding a deer on the road.

I vote that "One episode features Bob Dylan as himself, in which Dharma is trying to join his band as a drummer" be removed from Trivia as part of the cleanup. Many celebrities appeared as themselves on the show, including Jane Seymour, Ed Begley Jr., and fellow musicians Kenny Loggins, Lyle Lovett and k.d. lang (the latter two in the same episode). In fact, so many celebrities played themselves on the show, it may be worth mentioning that fact somewhere in the main article. The fact that Bob Dylan was one of them doesn't seem like worthwhile trivia. --DOSGuy 16:01, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Susan
Hey, just wondering who susan is, that name doesn't ring a bell, if someone could remind me I'd really appreciate it. ReverendG 02:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Susan is the Asian woman who, ultimately, marries the Montgomery's lawyer's son (Gottlieb). --DOSGuy 15:57, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Greg's favorite musicians?
It was a joke from one episode, but every artist he list was once in Genesis or other band, i cant remember.

Two and a Half Men
An anonymous editor added: "It was revealed on Dharma & Greg's sister show Two and a Half Men that shortly after 2004 Dharma & Greg were divorced. Citing Greg's Congressional Campaign and his judgmental parents as parts of the cause."

Just because Jenna Elfman played a similar character (with a different name) does not mean that it's the same character. -- Gridlock Joe 20:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Same name "Frenky" is a shortened version of Dharma's middle name. Two and a Half Men have the same writers/producers as D&G. It's the same character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.150.36.30 (talk • contribs) 16:06, February 26, 2007

 * Given the above, I'll admit it's possible that they're the same character, but I'd like to see something more definite before I accept it as fact. -- Gridlock Joe 21:17, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * How is "Frenky" a shortened version of "Dharma Freedom Montgomery, née Finkelstein"? In any case, the name of her character in Two and a Half Men was "Frankie". -- SteveCrook 03:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I haven't been able to find any reference anywhere else that states they're the same character. The closest I could find was tv.com saying it was "a kind of tribute". -- Gridlock Joe 03:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Young Dharma credits
I've added credits for Young Dharma, listing her as appearing in pilot. Anybody knows if Megan Butala appears in any following episode? Andreworg 14:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * IMDB says she does not: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1782184/ Andreworg 14:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Family Guy
Should any references be made to the jokes Family Guy makes about this show. Unsigned comment by 71.36.103.20 07:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It was in an earlier version of the article, but was removed as being of little value -- SteveCrook 10:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, it's back again. I'm going to remove it again.
 * Ttenchantr (talk) 05:57, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Season Two Release
It appears this may be true in Australia. I have seen it offered on several shopping sites like http://www.devoteddvd.com.au/shop/product_info.php?products_id=41282 but it may also be a pirated version. I rewrote the sentence about it and added Pal format and the date and a citation needed tag for now. Anybody know more about this? The cover art does show them dancing as was mentioned.
 * Amazon.com in Japan has it with different cover art of them sitting together. See http://www.amazon.co.jp

Bot report : Found duplicate references !
In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :) DumZiBoT (talk) 07:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * "imdb" :

Vanity Card #277
chucklorre.com/index.php?p=277

"The Kyrgyzstan version of Dharma & Greg already sent me some wallpaper paste."

Does this rip off exists or did Chuck Lorry just made it up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.189.8.14 (talk) 19:10, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

False information or typo
" ABC tried to rebuild a Tuesday night comedy block consisting of Dharma & Greg, What About Joan?, Bob Patterson and Spin City. The move was ill-fated, however, with sophomore Joan lasting just two episodes and Patterson five."

I think the writer meant to say that "What about Joan" lasted two seasons, not two episodes. That should be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarioSmario (talk • contribs) 01:01, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Young Adult Library Services

Young Adult Library Services is a quarterly magazine published by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). It supersedes the Journal of Youth Services, which was published together with the Association for Library Service to Children until 2002. The magazine serves as a mode of continuing education for librarians working with young adult populations (ages 12–18). The content of the magazine includes current news in the field, showcasing the best practices, providing news from related fields, spotlighting significant events of YALSA, and providing in depth reviews of professional literature. The fall issue contains award announcements, speeches by award-winning authors, and background information on books. The journal publishes articles about teen habits, literacy, and interests. Additionally, it serves as mode of communication for members of the association and as a record for the organization.

History
Young Adult Library Services started as Top of the News in 1942. Top of the News was published by the Division for Children and Young Peoples, which had been created in 1941. The Division for Children and Young Peoples was succeeded by the Children's Services Division and the Young Adult Services Division in 1957. From then on Top of the News was published jointly by both divisions. The name of the journal changed to Journal for Youth Services (JOYS) in 1987 to adequately reflect the contents and interests of the membership. In 1993, with the restructuring of the Young Adult Services Division into the Young Adult Library Services Association, JOYS was restructured as well. With an aim of creating a more informed readership, JOYS began publishing speeches from programs from YALSA and the Children's Services Division, which had been renamed Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) in 1977. They also increased the pool of referees from 33 to 50. In 2002 this magazine was split in two: Young Adult Library Services and Children and Libraries. Young Adult Library Services has been the recipient of the 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2016 Apex Awards of Excellence for a magazine or journal over 32 pages.

Accoona

Accoona was an internet company with offices in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Shanghai, China. Their main product was a search engine that claimed to use artificial intelligence to better understand searches. On June 23, 2005, in the ABC Times Square Studios, the AI Accoona Toolbar, driven by a Fritz 9 prototype, played against the chess grandmaster Rustam Kasimdzhanov. In addition to traditional searches, it allows business profile searches, and its signature "SuperTarget" feature. Their exclusive partnership with China Daily, a large Chinese internet portal, was seen as a highly strategic move.

The CEO of Accoona was Valentine J. Zammit, formerly of 24/7 Real Media and DoubleClick.

After IPO problems, Accoona shut down on October 5, 2008.

In October 2008 the web page said: "Dear Accoona search users, Due to an overwhelmingly competitive search market, Accoona.com and Accoona.cn will no longer be active. We thank you for your previous support. Sincerely, Accoona Management."

Accoona's domains and search facilities were acquired by Masterseek B2B (business-to-business) search engine on October 30, 2008.

Partnerships
Accoona provided the search technology to the Chinese portals Sina.com and Sohu. They also formed a 20-year exclusive partnership with China Daily. Through this partnership and its widespread Chinese affiliates, Accoona expected 10 million hits daily from the otherwise isolated Chinese user base.

Accoona signed a million dollar deal with FAST Search from Norway to help enhance their rankings.

Press

 * Accoona received attention after selecting former President Bill Clinton as a spokesperson on December 8, 2004.
 * Accoona also received significant coverage from the webmaster community after many forum sites were spammed with promotional Accoona entries.
 * Accoona was selected among the "50 Coolest Websites" of 2006 by Time magazine.

Caravaggio, Lombardy

Caravaggio (Careàs ) is a town and comune in the province of Bergamo, in Lombardy, Italy, 40 km east of Milan. It is the home town of renaissance era artists Caravaggio and Polidoro da Caravaggio.

History
The town received the honorary title of city with a presidential decree on December 22, 1954.

Geography
Caravaggio borders with the municipalities of Bariano, Brignano Gera d'Adda, Calvenzano, Capralba (CR), Fornovo San Giovanni, Misano di Gera d'Adda, Morengo, Mozzanica, Sergnano (CR) and Treviglio. Its frazioni are Masano and Vidalengo.

Main sights
The city is best known for the Sanctuary (15th century).

Other sights include:
 * The Gallavresi Palace (or the Marchioness Palace), now the Town Hall. It dates to the second half of the 13th century.
 * Church of San Fermo e Rustico, in Lombard-Gothic style, built in the 13th century over a pre-existing holy edifice. The two aisles were added in 1429. It has a façade in brickwork with a marble central portal, surmounted by a large rose window. It is flanked by a 76 m high bell tower, built in 1500 by governor Giovanni Dandolo. The interior houses the Holy Sacrament Chapel (late 15th-early 16th century), in Bramantesque style, variously attributed to Giovanni Battagio; also present are works by Bernardino Campi, Giovanni Moriggia, Giulio Cesare Procaccini and Nicola Moietta.

Talk:Detente bala

Challenge
I challenge the truthfulness of this article. First of all, was there even a third war of Bohemia? Second, I don't think there was a General Gottenheimer. Even though Detente Bala does mean "stop bullet" in Spanish. — Ilγαηερ   (Tαlκ)  22:00, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * The Carlist part is right. About the rest, I don't know. --Error 02:57, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * The rest is absolute crap...— Ilγαηερ   (Tαlκ) '' 02:58, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
 * From everything I read around, most of this looks like crap. There is no third war of bohemia to my knowledge, and some other stuff . — Ilγαηερ   (Tαlκ) '' 16:06, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * From the article on amulets: "War and other dangerous activities make the participants try to get the most luck they can. Carlist soldiers wore a medal of the Sacred Heart of Jesus with the inscription ¡Detente bala! ('Stop, bullet!')." I don't know enough Spanish to read the Spanish pages I've found on Google with the phrase. I don't know anything about whether there was a Bohemian war involved. --Closeapple 08:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Anyone care to take the out and figure out whether or not this page is total garbbage or merely just crap?

Smith Jones 11:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC) Smith Jones 11:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I have never heard of the third war of bohemia, I suspect this is fabricated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.209.6.40 (talk) 13:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC).

 * In that case, then this article must be destroyed. Smith Jones 05:29, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * No, only the second part was being challenged. I've adapted the article to reflect the (Spanish) source given as a reference. If someone with better Spanish comes along, please check. AvB ÷ talk  12:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

"Patches of cloth with the phrase around a Sacred Heart of Jesus were worn on the chest as a protection." `Smith Jones 22:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * think that this parragraph if soo vague because its doesnt give a date or a citation or a reference oa ny indicationg htat it wasnt just made up by the article author.

 * I don't think it's at all vague, and it's confirmed by the source given in the article. Please review earlier comments and also look at the references in the article before commenting on the talk page. As remarked above, I had already checked the source given there, Detente in the Diccionario de la Real Academia Española. In fact I did more research and deleted everything I could not reference. The removed part was quite suspicious as commented by others. AvB ÷ talk  10:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * i cant speak spanish sorry. i agree that yhe information is confirmed but it doesnt given information about specific instances where this was used or the cultur. all it says is that they used it to MAKE JESUS STOP the bullets but that isnt specific enougfh. maybe the article should go on wikitionary instead of wikipedia since its a stub. Smith Jones 04:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Please read WP:Notability and . AvB ÷ talk  05:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * i didnt say it was non-notable i just said that it doesnt give enough detail to be encylcopedia. also, the google seraches are mostly mrirors of wikipedia and according to wikiepedia it cant sue itself as a sources for itw articles. also, some of the websites repeat the fake information that we remmoved arlier. Smith Jones 14:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Mirror sites will catch up with Wikipedia, some almost immediately, others lag behind, and Google also takes some time to update its Wikipedia indexing. The amount of detail is not a reason to leave information out, especially since so many editors find the article clearly encyclopedic. All we have to do is make sure the information is in keeping with applicable rules, such as WP:Notability, WP:Verifiability, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV. The article is marked as a stub in order to invite editors to expand the article if they can find additional sources. But you are free to list the article for AfD (if you click on the relevant links given in the welcome note(s) on your talk page you will find out more about the AfD process. Or do you know it already?) Nevertheless, I personally think such an AfD would be a waste of time. AvB ÷ talk  14:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

 * no deletion is just thing that it wuod work best on Wiktionary instead of wikipedia since its more like a difiniton of a word than anything else. Smith Jones 03:16, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I have removed the speedy deletion tag. If you do not agree, please indicate on this talk page which criteria the article is supposed to fail. Thanks. AvB ÷ talk  20:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I disagree because of criteira : "Transwikied articles.

 * NO you arent undestanding what i'm trying to say here. i warned you Feb. 13 that this article woudl work best on Wiktionary and you ddin't seem to have any problem with that so i transferred it all to wikitonary and put this aritcle up for deletion because its redunadant. the reason i did this was because of the cretieria that i mentioned above the article cannot exist in wo palces are once. Smith Jones 21:30, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * do you agree now that the article whould be deleted? Smith Jones 21:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

No. I don't know what else I could say to you. This article does not fulfill any speedy deletion criteria, period. You could try an AfD. If you don't believe me, ask others. Try WP:ANI or WP:DR. I believe you are here to help, yet I do not see how that could possibly work if you continue like this. AvB ÷ talk  21:41, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually you are the one who is breaking Wikipedia rules. Over the past few weeks I have spent some two hours repairing damage caused by you. I have also tried to help you understand the basics of editing Wikipedia. Apparently I have failed (Avb raising hands in despair). For the last time, your options here are: WP:DR, WP:AfD, WP:ANI.

USS Keystone State (1853)

USS Keystone State was a wooden sidewheel steamer that served in the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was a fast ship for her day and was used effectively to blockade Confederate ports on the Atlantic coast. She participated in the capture or destruction of 17 blockade runners. In addition to her military service, Keystone State had a lengthy commercial career before the war. Renamed San Francisco, she also sailed commercially after the war. The ship was built in 1853 and scrapped in 1874.

Construction and characteristics
Keystone State was commissioned by the Philadelphia and Savannah Steam Navigation Company. She was intended to carry passengers and cargo as one of a pair of vessels offering weekly service between the two cities. Her hull was built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the Vaughn & Lynn Shipyard. Her frame was built of live oak and locust wood, and she was planked with white oak. The ship was 220 ft long, with a beam of 35 ft, and a depth of hold of 21 ft. She displaced 1,364 tons.

She was propelled by a coal-fired side-lever steam engine. Steam was produced in two boilers. The engine had a single cylinder that was 80 in in diameter, with a stroke of 8 ft. The engine was built by the Southwark Foundry & Machine Company of Philadelphia, operated by Merrick & Sons. The steam engine drove paddlewheels which were 30 ft in diameter with face of 10 ft. Her maximum speed was 14 knots, but the state of her hull and machinery reduced her maximum speed to as little as 10.5 knots on occasion.

The ship had two masts and was rigged as a bark. She could sail, but was slower and less maneuverable than under steam.

As originally built, she had 46 staterooms, a couple of salons, a dining room, ladies' parlor, smoking room, and a passenger library. She had running water in the washrooms, storage for ice, and cold rooms to keep food fresh for passengers. Her original cost was reported as $180,000.

Keystone State was launched on 18 June 1853. Sea trials of the newly completed ship took place on 19 September 1853. She was immediately placed in commercial service.

Her namesake, The Keystone State, is a nickname for Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia and Savannah Steam Navigation Company (1853–1861)
Keystone State completed her first trip from Philadelphia to Savannah on 23 September 1853 after a 56.5 hour run. This was considered a fast sailing at the time. This trip inaugurated weekly scheduled service between the two cities. She and State of Georgia alternated departures and each completed a single one-way trip per week. Cabin passage cost $20 and steerage was $8.

On a north-bound trip in March 1854, a black man was found stowed-away inside the housing of one of the paddle wheels. This position was extremely dangerous and he was compelled to call for help. He claimed he was a free person, but being unable to prove his status, he was put ashore, jailed, and returned to Savannah.

On the night of 10–11 May 1855, while inbound to Philadelphia, she was hit by two small vessels. At 10 pm the schooner Adrian, carrying coal for Fall River, Massachusetts, ran into Keystone State and sank in 15 minutes. The ship lowered a boat and managed to save three of her crew, but two others perished. Four hours later the schooner Little Tom hit the Keystone State and sank. This time the ship's boat was able to rescue the entire crew of five. A more serious collision occurred at 1 am on the foggy night of 25 May 1856 when Keystone State hit the bark Cavalier. Keystone State's bow was crushed and she immediately began to flood. Her steam pumps barely kept up with the incoming water, and her captain was able to run the ship up onto the mud flats near Norfolk, Virginia, to keep her from sinking. While the colliding ships were briefly locked together, the 1st and 3rd mates and three sailors of Cavalier leapt aboard Keystone State. Despite the damage, Keystone State was back to her regular runs between Philadelphia and Savannah within a month.

In November 1855 the Philadelphia and Savannah Steam Navigation Company came to the conclusion that there was not enough business for two ships on the route, and switched State of Georgia to sailing between Philadelphia and Charleston, South Carolina. Keystone State continued her service to Savannah.

Keystone State primarily carried agricultural commodities north. In August 1855 she brought 3,300 sacks of wheat to Philadelphia. In November 1856 her cargo included 104 bales of cotton, and in December 1856, 50 casks of rice. In return, the ship carried a variety of manufactured or processed goods south. In March 1861 her cargo for Charleston included 950 barrels of whiskey, 350 hogsheads of bacon, 750 barrels of beer, 260 bales of cloth, 200 barrels of flour, 300 packages of boots and shoes, 100 cases of hats and caps, 70 carriages, and 250 boxes of candles.

At approximately 2 am on 18 August 1857 Keystone State hit and sank the barge A. Groves, jr. which was under tow by the tug Artisan in the Delaware River. The owner of the barge sued the Philadelphia and Savannah Steam Navigation Company claiming that Keystone State should have maneuvered to avoid the collision. The case ultimately went to the U.S. Supreme Court which found in favor of Keystone State, and reaffirmed maritime rules of the road that remain in place today.

On 7 September 1857 the ship was bound for Savannah, 75 miles south of Cape Henlopen, when the side lever on her steam engine broke. She had to be towed to Norfolk, where her passengers debarked, and then was towed back to Philadelphia for repairs. She was back in operation the next month. She suffered another engine failure due to a broken side lever in June 1860 and was out of service for about a month while repairs were made in Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia and Savannah Line ceased operations at the beginning of 1858 due to a lack of business, and the ship was idled. March 1858 found Keystone State making her first trip from Philadelphia to Charleston, South Carolina. Cabin fare on this new route was $15 and steerage $5. In the tensions leading to the Civil War, sailing between Philadelphia and Charleston became more difficult. In November 1860, Keystone State was required to lower the United States flag and fly the Palmetto Flag before she could sail into Charleston. At the beginning of 1861 United States army troops in Charleston prepared for hostilities by consolidating on Fort Sumter. The army released the civilian workers at the Charleston forts, and about 100 took passage north on Keystone State. The ship continued to sail to Charleston right to the brink of the war. She arrived back in Philadelphia on her last civilian trip to the south on 10 April 1861.

Navy charter (1861)
Secessionists began bombarding Fort Sumter on 12 April 1861. The Union Navy was largely unprepared for war and reacted by acquiring civilian ships. Acting on orders from Commodore Hiram Paulding, the commandant of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Captain Samuel F. DuPont, chartered Keystone State for naval service on 19 April 1861. DuPont received the order in the morning and chartered the ship in three hours. Her charter rate was $600 per day. She was towed to the Navy Yard that day, and even during the tow machinists worked to convert her to a naval vessel. At 6 pm that evening DuPont began loading her with more than 50 Marines, 50 sailors, ammunition, seven days of coal, and two weeks of provisions. The ship was armed with four 24-pounder guns. She sailed at dawn on 20 April 1861, under the command of Lieutenant Maxwell Woodhull, to deliver arms and troops to Washington, D.C.

On her way to Washington, Keystone State arrived off the Norfolk Navy Yard on the morning of 21 April 1861, by which time it was aflame to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Confederacy. She worked with several other Navy ships to extricate USS Cumberland from the docks through the obstacles placed by the Confederates, and helped evacuate sailors from the Navy Yard and USS Pennsylvania. She reached Washington on 23 April 1861. On 24 April 1861, now under the command of Lieutenant Stephen D. Trenchard, she was ordered to New York to take on supplies, and then to sail to back Washington, D.C. The ship arrived in Washington on 1 May 1861. On 3 May 1861 Keystone State embarked gun carriages and ordinance supplies from the Washington Arsenal for delivery to Fort Washington and Fortress Monroe. She then sailed back to New York to pick up yet more supplies to reinforce Washington, including five guns. She reached Washington on 14 May 1861.

President Lincoln imposed a blockade of Confederate ports on 19 April 1861. The announcement caught a number of foreign vessels in port. As they sailed home, many were snapped up by the Union Navy. The British brig Hiawatha was heavily laden with tobacco when she sailed for Liverpool on 19 May 1861. USS Minnesota, part of the blockading force based on Fortress Monroe, fired two shots at her and then sent a prize crew aboard to take possession. Hiawatha was towed to New York by Keystone State, arriving on 23 May 1861. On board, Keystone State had 115 women and children who were fleeing the conflict in the South, mostly from the Norfolk area. On that same day she was ordered to sail to Philadelphia to be returned to her owners, ending her charter.

Still short of ships, the Navy purchased Keystone State for $125,000 on June 10, 1861. She was moved to the Philadelphia Navy Yard where she underwent a survey of needed repairs beginning the next day. Repairs began within a week of acquisition, and included dry-docking and replacing the copper sheeting on her hull. Her battery was upgraded to four 32-pounder guns.

She was commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 19 July 1861, Commander Gustavus H. Scott in command.

Gulf Blockading Squadron (1861)
Upon commissioning, Keystone State was assigned to the Gulf Blockading Squadron. She sailed from Philadelphia in search of the commerce raider CSS Sumter. The chase went from Kingston, Jamaica to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. She then circumnavigated Puerto Rico, stopping in Martinique along the way. Keystone State sailed to Port of Spain, Trinidad, where she found that she had missed Sumter by five days. She visited many other Caribbean ports and sailed as far south as Aspinwall, Panama before returning to the United States. While she failed in her mission to stop the Sumter, she did capture a blockade runner. The steamer Salvor was sailing from Havana to Tampa with a cargo that included 600 pistols and 500,000 percussion caps when she was captured by Keystone State near the Dry Tortugas on 14 October 1861. The ship returned to Philadelphia, via Key West, with Salvor in tow, on 25 October 1861.

While Keystone State was at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, she had her armament upgraded again. She was equipped with six 8-inch guns, two 32-pounders, and a Parrott rifle.

At Philadelphia, Commander William E. Le Roy took command of the ship on 12 November 1861. The sidewheeler left port on 8 December 1861. She visited Bermuda still searching for Sumter, and arrived back at Fortress Monroe on 26 December 1861 with nothing to show for her cruise but two cases of smallpox.

South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, (1861–1863)
In January 1862 Keystone State was assigned to South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Her first assignment was to blockade the port of Fernandina, Florida. She engaged Confederate batteries at Amelia Island while on station, apparently with little damage on either side. Keystone State captured the British schooner Mars off Fenandina on 5 February 1862. She was laden with a cargo of salt.

In March 1862, Keystone State was part of Flag Officer DuPont's fleet which captured Fernandina and the surrounding islands, putting an end to the need to blockade the port.

On her next cruise, she was assigned to blockade the port of Georgetown, South Carolina. On 10 April 1862, she chased schooner Liverpool of Nassau ashore where she was burned to the water's edge. Schooner Dixie, bound for Nassau with a cargo of 100 bales of cotton, 234 barrels of turpentine, 40 bushels of peanuts, and 3,000 pounds of rice, was captured on 15 April 1862.

After returning to port for coal and supplies, Keystone State returned to blockade duty, this time off Charleston. On 29 May 1862 she captured the British steamer Elizabeth, in bound from Nassau with 50 crates of Enfield rifles in cargo. The schooner Cora was taken two days later. Keystone State took schooner Sarah, laden with cotton, and Catalina, off Charleston on 20 June 1862. She captured the schooner Fanny attempting to slip into Charleston with a cargo of salt on 22 August 1862. Keystone State participated in the capture of schooner Annie Dees on 17 November 1862. At dawn on 31 January 1863, Keystone State was at anchor, part of the blockading force off Charleston Harbor. Two Confederate ironclads, CSS Palmetto State and CSS Chicora came out of the early morning fog to challenge the Union ships. They attacked USS Mercedita and succeeded in ramming her, disabling her machinery, and killing several of her crew. They turned next to Keystone State, which was hit by ten shells. At approximately 6 am, a shot ripped into Keystone State's steam drum, killing 19 men and wounding a further 20. Since she carried a crew of 163 men, her losses were a quarter of the crew. USS Housatanic engaged the ironclads, which retired to Charleston, but Keystone State was on fire, leaking badly, and had two feet of water in the hold. She was taken under tow by USS Memphis and reached Port Royal, South Carolina, where temporary repairs were made.

The ship got underway on 22 February 1863 for blockading duty off St. Simons Sound, Georgia. She served there until departing for Philadelphia on 2 June 1863 for permanent repairs. Keystone State was found to be "very much out of order" on her arrival at the Navy Yard and faced months of work. She was decommissioned on 10 June 1863 and her crew given a 10-day furlough. The ship was hauled out in a floating drydock to repair hull damage from her encounter with the Confederate ironclads. Her engines were overhauled.

North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, 1863–1865
Keystone State was recommissioned on 3 October 1863, Commander Edward Donaldson in command, and stood out to sea on 27 October. Three days later she joined the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron at Wilmington, North Carolina. Sometime around the turn of the year, Donaldson yielded command of the ship to Commander Pierce Crosby. By this point in the war, Wilmington was the last major Confederate port, concentrating both blockaders are blockade runners alike. Keystone State participated in the capture of six ships during her final year of blockade duty including the steamer Margaret and Jessie in 1863, and Caledonia, Rouen, Lilian, Elsie, and Siren in 1864.

The ships captured by Keystone State not only helped the war effort, but were profitable for the ship's crew as well. Under the laws of the day, special courts evaluated whether ships were captured legally, which ships had participated in their capture, and how much the captured ships were worth, net of expenses. Prize courts then awarded cash in the form of prize money to ship's crews. Keystone State was lucky in prize money: In addition to participating in the capture of sixteen ships listed above, Keystone State also plucked from the sea almost 300 bales of cotton thrown overboard by blockade runners seeking to destroy valuables that would fall into the hands of their captors. These generated almost $200,000 pf prize money for Keystone State.

First Battle of Fort Fisher, December 1864
In order to finally close Wilmington to blockade runners, the Union determined to take the forts on the Cape Fear River, starting with Fort Fisher. Admiral David Porter assembled a fleet at Fortress Monroe for the offensive. Porter commanded Keystone State, now captained by Commander Henry Rolando, to lead the reserve line of battle. At 7:30 am on 24 December 1864 Rolando signalled the reserve division to get underway, and by 8:00 am the ships were steaming westward towards Fort Fisher in line of battle. At 2:52 pm Keystone State began firing over and between the ships in the first echelon, to support Army troops as they landed and fought to take the fort. She ceased firing at approximately 5:00 pm. During this action she fired 56 rounds from her 30-pounder Parrott rifle, 24 rounds from her 50-pounder Parrott rifle and 14 rounds from the 32-pounder broadside gun. However, late in the afternoon, the Union Army commander, General Benjamin Franklin Butler, decided that the Confederate works could not be taken and ordered his troops to reembark. Keystone State withdrew to Beaufort for coal and supplies.

Second Battle of Fort Fisher, January 1865
Porter immediately began planning for a second assault, this time with a different Army general in charge of the land forces. Most of the fleet that participated in the first battle also joined the second fight. Keystone State was one of three exceptions. She was loading coal in Beaufort when the fort fell. She arrived at the scene of the battle on 16 January 1865 with a coal schooner in tow.

After Fort Fisher fell, the campaign to take Wilmington continued on the river. On 20 January 1865, Keystone State towed the monitor Monadanock over the Cape Fear River bar. Admiral Porter requested use of the monitor Montauk for the final assault on Wilmington, and Keystone State was assigned to tow the ship up the Cape Fear River on 21 January 1865. During February 1865, Keystone State supported Army advances along the shore of the River.

Porter's success in closing the last major Confederate port meant that blockaders such as Keystone State no longer had a role to play. She got underway on 13 March 1865 towing monitor USS Montauk (1862) to Hampton Roads, and arrived at Baltimore, Maryland, on 20 March 1865.

Commander Rolando was detached from the ship and Keystone State decommissioned on 25 March 1865. She was sold at auction at Washington, D.C., on 15 September 1865 to Marshall O. Roberts for $54,000.

North American Steamship Company (1866–1868)
Marshall Roberts led a commercial shipping business which sailed between New York and San Francisco via ships in the Atlantic and Pacific connected by an overland crossing of Nicaragua. He sent Keystone State to the Morgan Iron Works in New York to be converted into a civilian merchant vessel suitable for this trade. The ship was renamed San Francisco. Roberts sold control of the company to William H. Webb in 1866 and it became known as the North American Steamship Company. San Francisco completed multiple trips between New York and Greytown, Nicaragua before the company closed in 1868.

New York and Mexican Mail Steamship Line (1866–1869)
Beginning in July 1868, Webb chartered San Francisco to the New York and Mexican Mail Steamship Line owned by Francois Alexandre. She sailed from New York to Havana, Cuba to Sisal, Mexico, and finally to Vera Cruz, Mexico, before returning to New York. Her last run on this route was in February 1869.

Bermuda (1870–1872)
The government of Bermuda solicited offers for regular steamship service between New York and Hamilton. Webb offered San Francisco in response to the tender offer. The ship arrived in Hamilton on 7 August 1870 for inspection, as required by Bermudian law. It was not clear that a ship of her size could enter Hamilton Harbor, and in fact, she grounded on her first attempt. A more experienced pilot guided her in safely, however, and the ship was accepted by the government. Thereafter San Francisco completed two roundtrips per month between New York and Hamilton. A first-class passage in either direction cost $30, and a steerage berth cost $15. The government of Bermuda paid Webb 240 pounds sterling per round-trip as a subsidy. This original contract was set to expire on 31 December 1871, but Webb won a renewal in November 1871.

Concern over San Francisco's ability to enter Hamilton was well founded. She went aground again on 18 September 1870. While entering Hamilton Harbor on 5 December 1870, the ship hit a rock and sank in 15 feet of water. She was refloated and repaired at the Royal Naval Dockyard.

San Francisco brought people, mail, news, food, and manufactured goods of all kinds to Bermuda. She was so important to the island that the Colonial Secretary ordered a special flag to be flown from government telegraph stations from the moment the ship was first sighted inbound to Hamilton. The ship was significant to the export economy of Bermuda as well. On 22 April 1871 she cleared Hamilton with the single largest cargo that had ever been shipped from the island, over 9,000 barrels and 20,000 boxes of various crops. While Bermuda was a colony of Great Britain, there was no direct steamship service between the two islands. Thus, British government officials sailed the Atlantic to New York, and then completed their trip to Bermuda aboard San Francisco. In May, 1871, the ship received a 17-gun salute from the Royal Artillery at Fort Albert upon arrival in Hamilton with Major General John Henry Lefroy, the new governor, aboard.

Webb's renewal application in November 1871 stated that the 240 pound sterling per round-trip subsidy was not enough to cover his losses operating San Francisco on the route, and he expected that the government would work to improve the profitability. Apparently, the situation did not improve and Webb notified the government in late December 1872 that he would abandon the route in January 1873.

San Francisco scrapped (1874)
Webb found no further use for the ship and there are no newspaper accounts of her sailing again after returning from Bermuda. On 8 July 1874 San Francisco cleared New York for Fall River, Massachusetts. She was towed there by the tug Cora L. Staples. She was broken up in Fall River.

resting potential
Read your message and like the changes you made to depol and hyperpol. Note however that the membrane potential article is currently undergoing a major rewrite (guess who?) where resting potential is given a more thourough treatment. So a new article on resting potential may not be necessary.

 * I think it is wise to have individual articles for many topics rather than try to pile everything into a few articles. Usually this means that specific details get multiple treatments on several pages, but that is okay. See if you live with the Resting potential article I just posted. - Memenen 7 July 2005 16:52 (UTC)

Dalkey Archive Press

Dalkey Archive Press is an American publisher of fiction, poetry, foreign translations and literary criticism specializing in the publication or republication of lesser-known, often avant-garde works. The company has offices in Funks Grove, Illinois, in Dublin, and in London. The publisher is named for the novel The Dalkey Archive, by the Irish author Flann O'Brien. It is owned by nonprofit publisher Deep Vellum.

Founded in Elmwood Park, Illinois in 1984 by John O’Brien, Dalkey Archive Press began as an adjunct press to the literary magazine Review of Contemporary Fiction, itself founded by John O'Brien, John Byrne, and Lowell Dunlap and dedicated to highlighting writers who were overlooked by the mainstream critical establishment. Initially, the press reprinted works by authors featured in the Review but eventually branched out to other works, including original works that had not been published. Until 1988, Dalkey Archive was a two-person operation: O’Brien and office manager/typesetter Shirley Geever. That year O’Brien hired Steven Moore as managing editor. Later editors include Chad Post (who went on to found Open Letter Books), and authors Martin Riker, Danielle Dutton, and Jeremy Davies.

In 1992, the press accepted an invitation to move from suburban Chicago to Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. In December 2006, Dalkey Archive relocated to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to be part of the university's commitment to global projects that complement the press's commitment to translations.

Modeled on such publishers as Grove Press and New Directions, Dalkey Archive's emphasis is decidedly upon literary fiction, usually of a modernist or postmodernist bent. In the publisher's own words, Dalkey Archive "place[s] a heavy emphasis upon fiction that belongs to the experimental tradition of Sterne, Joyce, Rabelais, Flann O'Brien, Beckett, Gertrude Stein and Djuna Barnes." One of the publisher's primary goals is to keep all of its books in print, regardless of their commercial success, in the interest of maintaining the availability of works that it deems culturally and educationally valuable.

In 2011, Dalkey founder John O’Brien was awarded the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Book Critics Circle. In 2015, O’Brien was appointed Chevalier in the Ordre des Arts & des Lettres in recognition of his significant contribution to French arts and literature by the Minister of Culture and Communication of France; its authors and translators have been recipients of many major awards, including the Nobel Prize, the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translator's Prize, the Vondel Prize, and the Premio Valle-Inclán award.

Founder and publisher John O’Brien died on November 21, 2020. He left behind 7 dogs, daughter Kathleen O’Brien, sons Emmett, William, and Kevin, brothers Chip and Eddie, and many other family and friends. Shortly afterward, Dalkey Archive Press was acquired by Deep Vellum.

Offices
Dalkey Archive Press has multiple offices, which are located in McLean, Illinois; Dutch House in London; and the Trinity College Centre for Literary Translation in Dublin.

Selected publications
Dalkey Archive has published a variety of books and authors from many countries.

Retha Warnicke

Retha Marvine Warnicke (born 1939) is an American historian and Professor of History at Arizona State University.

Career
Warnicke graduated with a BA from Indiana University, magna cum laude, in 1961. She then moved on to Harvard University, where she earned her MA and PhD in 1963 and 1969, respectively. During her junior year, she joined Phi Beta Kappa and in her senior year, she was granted the Listenfelt Scholarship, for outstanding Undergraduate History Major, following in 1961 with the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship.

From 1965 to 1966, Warnicke was an instructor at Phoenix College. She went on to teach at Arizona State University (ASU) as a lecturer from 1966 to 1967. She then left to pursue her PhD before returning to ASU to continue as a lecturer from 1969 to 1973. Warnicke rose through the ranks to assistant professor, then associate professor and finally professor in 1973, 1976 and 1984, respectively. She was the director of graduate studies at the history department from 1987 to 1992, and she was chair of the history department from 1992 to 1998.

Warnicke was the first woman hired in the history department of ASU, and was one of the first to teach a women's history course. Through her advocacy, lobbying efforts and participation in numerous search committees, the history department began to add women and minority men to the department – and as a result, the history department is nearly half female and has a large minority presence. In addition to her efforts in the history department, Warnicke has also devoted much of her time to affirmative action and faculty rights.

Warnicke specializes in politics and protocol at the Tudor court, women's issues in the Early Modern Period (1400 – c. 1700) and Jacobean funerary rites for women. She authored numerous articles, including "Inventing the Wicked Women of Tudor England: Alice More, Anne Boleyn and Anne Stanhope" and "Sexual Heresy at the Court of Henry VIII". Warnicke is the author of seven monographs, including The Marrying of Anne of Cleves: Royal Protocol in Tudor England (Cambridge University Press, 2002), Mary, Queen of Scots (Routledge, 2006), and Wicked Women of Tudor England: Queens, Aristocrats, and Commoners (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012). Her most recent book is Elizabeth of York and Her Six Daughters-in-Law: Fashioning Tudor Queenship, 1485–1547 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017). The newest book examines the lives and reigns of Elizabeth of York, wife of Henry VII, and her six daughters-in-law, Henry VIII's six queens, by comparing them within important spheres of influence—as mothers, diplomats, and domestic managers, as well as participants in social and religious rituals.

She is best known for her controversial theories over the life of Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn. These theories were outlined in various articles in the mid-1980s, "Anne Boleyn's Childhood and Adolescence" and "Sexual Heresy at the Court of Henry VIII". The theories were built on and elaborated in her 1989 book The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn: Family politics at the court of Henry VIII.

Warnicke's theories on Anne Boleyn

 * She argued against the general theory that Anne Boleyn was born around 1501. Instead, she believes that Anne was born much later—in the summer of 1507.
 * The popular rumours that Anne had several small deformities—like an extra fingernail or moles—are incorrect, since rumours of deformities only began after Anne's death and no-one who met her ever commented on them;—"... the two [descriptions] cannot logically be reconciled to each other. Had there been even a hint of a deformity in Anne's appearance, the Venetian, as well as the Imperial ambassadors...would have eagerly revealed this intriguing fact to their respective governments."
 * "For many historians Anne remains the lady with the extra fingernail who was too flirtatious, even if in a harmless courtly way, for her own safety and well being. The result of this interpretation is that the responsibility for her tragic death resides with her, the victim, rather than with the king and his ministers, the ones who orchestrated her execution."
 * Most importantly, she argues that Anne miscarried a deformed fetus in January 1536 which fueled 16th-century fears of witchcraft and sexual deviance and led to her execution—"In an attempt to understand her by the terms of her society, information from a wide range of sources will be used to support the argument that she miscarried a defective fetus in 1536. It was because Henry VIII viewed this mishap as an evil omen, both for his lineage and his kingdom, that he had her accused of engaging in illicit sexual acts with five men and fostered rumors that she had afflicted him with impotence and had conspired to poison both his daughter Mary and his illegitimate son, Henry, Duke of Richmond."

Warnicke's theories were harshly criticised by some other historians—particularly E. W. Ives and George W. Bernard. She defended her arguments in a 1993 article "The Fall of Anne Boleyn Revisited", although she did not insist on some points as rigorously as before. She suggested that Ives's theory on Anne's fall (that it was caused by foreign policy and palace politics) was based on an over-reliance on Spanish sources and that his theory on her youth was ridiculous. Warnicke was even harsher with G.W. Bernard's suggestion that Anne might have been guilty of adultery in 1536. She called it a "dubious assertion" with no reliable documentary proof. She concluded:

"As long as the lurid charges against the Queen exist only in unsubstantiated indictments and contradictory diplomatic writings, historians ought to remain sceptical about factional theories of her adulterous guilt or of factional politics. At the least, they owe it to the past not to further obscure the facts."

In her "author's note" to bestseller The Other Boleyn Girl, Philippa Gregory said her novel's conclusion was based upon Warnicke's findings in The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn, but Warnicke has publicly distanced herself from the novel and its presentation of the Boleyns.

Recidivism rates
The statement of 'The recidivism rate of the original two casts was less than 10%.' needs citation, Considering evidence to the contrary later in the article. Otherwise it should be left out.

Original research
130.156.29.112 keeps trying to insert the following text:

 * Of course, it must be remembered that the program was the brainchild of a film maker, not a psychiatrist specializing in the rehabilitation of felons; therefore, the focus was on whatever theatrical value could be obtained by filming a group of hulking inmates scaring relatively young teenagers.

Phrases like "it must be remembered" are frequently a warning sign of original research. I do not think this paragraph is any exception. For all we know, Arnold Shapiro got the idea for Scared Straight! when a psychiatrist specializing in the rehabilitation of felons said to him "You know, if some of the young people who are in small-time trouble now could see just how brutal life in prison really is, it might scare them straight." Am I saying such a thing happened? No, but that's just the point: We do not have any reliable sources telling us whose "brainchild" the program was. We do not have any reliable sources telling us whether Shapiro consulted with professionals of the kind 130.156.29.112 tries to assert had no input into the production. We do not have any reliable sources telling us that Shapiro's "focus" was theatrical value and no other kind. In short, we have no reliable sources supporting 130.156.29.112's version of events, and we can hardly tell readers that they "must" remember what 130.156.29.112 is only guessing to be the case. -- 209.6.177.176 (talk) 05:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

 * 130.156.31.148/130.156.31.112/130.156.31.182, you keep accusing others of bad faith but the fact is that they have given reasons why the passage should not be there; you by contrast have ignored the talk page completely. -- 209.6.177.176 (talk) 00:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Anon (same one?) seems to continue to insist on placing the offending phrase, or some version thereof, in the article. Still no justification provided for it.  Some justification is needed, given that it is totally unsourced and blatantly violates WP:EDITORIAL.  If you have some source which verifies that the program was conducted without input from anyone with expertise in rehabilitation, and verifies what Shapiro said he was going for with regard to theatrical value vs. a genuine belief that the tactic might actually work, then just cite that source.  If you don't have any such source, then that's just your interpretation and opinion and, even though I find your opinion plausible, it still doesn't belong here.

Kids Of North Jersey
I was reading up on this and I was wondering if there's anyone who can help me. I was in a Scared Straight program in New Jersey that was named Kids Of North Jersey where there was emotional, physical and mental abuse. I was in there for 4 yrs and I also have a website that is souly dedicated to the New Jersey Branch. Is there anyway where we can do a Wiki page on this specific program? I have loads of people whom I spent time with in there that may be willing to put in some actual events and information about it.

For further info, please visit both of these sites:

Further information needed for balance
While the citations are worthy, the article gives the impression that the "Scared Straight" programs are labeled a failure due to one member of the program later being convicted. Further failures would be better noted, as the current article mentions the initial program having a singular failure, no further aftermath of the others in the program and other states emulation of the program may have been different, yielding different results. A suggestion would be for one well acquainted with the meta-analysis to provide the statistics and further background in the various programs enacted by the states.Wzrd1 (talk) 16:30, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Who is Qaadir?
Following on from 'who is Melinda' above, the article says None of the "graduates" of the original documentary have since been convicted of a felony except for Angelo Speziale, who in 2010 was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison for the rape and murder of his neighbor in 1982 (after the film was made).[2] Qaadir was the only one to become a professional criminal and spend his entire adult life in prison.

There's no other mention of a "Qaadir" in the article. Incidentally, if he has really "spent his entire adult life in prison", it seems unlikely that he hasn't been convincted of a felony. HenryFlower 10:26, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Confused focus
The article seems to be talking about three separate things at once. 1. The original documentary. 2. The follow up specials aired decades later. 3. The scared straight programs that were inspired by these shows. If Wikipedia had been around in the 90's it's likely the revival series would have their own wikipedia pages. The opening of the article and the infobox imply it's just about the documentary but then the article covers all of them. That format implies it should be a generatl article and the documentary should be covered in the history section. Harizotoh9 (talk) 00:58, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Overall increases in offending, does not dis-prove impact on more-serious crime types.
One thing i'm consistently-reading in every summary and reviewing-introduction paragraph in pages and sections describing the analysis of the effectiveness of the program/s, is a without-differentiation, IN-discrimination, towards petty-crime, minor infringements and socially-relative crimes like verbal-offense, etc, and 2, more-serious crime, especially any stat.s gathered about re-offending at much longer-time-periods away from the end of the immediately-after monitoring -  i.e.  statistical LIMITS, on how much the consistencies of stat.s gathered in-the-immediate-after, SHOULD NOT have necessarily have implications for either longer-term gradual types of crime familiarization, nor crimes types that are more likely to lead to convictions and incarceration that they witness during their visits  -  i.e.  stat.s gathered in relation to 'safe' crime, that does not LEAD to incarcerations of the types that would expose them to the types of violence / risks they witness, can be ANTICIPATED intelligently, and also, as a result of underestimating such risk-assessment potentials of even the seemingly least intelligent of the participants, would limit the experimental breadths-of-capacity that might be realistically actually present in exceptional individuals, or more commonly, learnt-through experience ACQUIRED, in time periods after monitoring ceases.

Perhaps only much longer-term periodic stat.s collection of those completing(to a minimum exposure-shock level) the programs, as-well-as parallel smaller comparatives with high degrees of similarities but experimentally different exposures combined with different risks, might get more reliable impact differentiation - blending all the results together, at the same time as not differentiating between petty/common types of crime, and those that are LIKELY to result in chances of ending up in similar incarceration, does not even seem to be a experimental DESIGN, that should MATCH what the aims of the program are for -  primarily, the prevention of SERIOUS crimes, compared to petty.

At least, going-over what stat.s already exist, to categorically separate the re-offending for-petty, compared to more serious, could even yield clear advantages in relation to the reduction of more-serious, to the detriment (trade-off acceptance) of more-petty.

It's not DENYing the stat.s that already exist, it'd just be re-FOCUSING and clarifying, on which-PURPOSES need to match which stat.s represent what was being aimed-at-to-be-reduced, and at the same time, as making a more useful double-parallel-set to be ABLE to compare with already-differentiated measurements, compared to what cannot be used BEFORE differentiation/splitting what has already been collected.

It reads as a INCOMPLETE analysis or re-relating of the RELEVANCE of what stat.s were collected , if undifferentiated SINGULAR-grouping of the re-offending after the program, is supposed to be being received by the scientific community, AS, relevant, to-especially, the more serious crimes, when in-discriminant statistical blurring, is a experimental design flaw/limit.

Continuing DELIBERATE choosing-of limited design, could be hypothesized as a evasive-behavior, itself - i've never worked in prisons, but why KEEP using a limited-design? However much money has ever been spent on endless re-analysis of existing stat.s, seems like 100% wasted money, if the initial design had un-differentiated collection or conversion INTO categories/classes of crimes at the very least, even if as-it-happened, ongoing stat.s collection was problematic (and would-be - numbers dwindle, etc, but OVERALL differences might still exist, between petty/serious, even if you had to increase the margins of error / accuracy deviation). 120.18.235.91 (talk) 22:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Kievskaya Metro Station
Self nomination of a photo of Kievskaya station in Moscow, used to illustrate Moscow Metro. I think it nicely shows the chandeliers-and-art side of the metro as well as the fact that it's just a way for people to move around. - Worldtraveller 22:11, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Self nominate and support. - Worldtraveller 22:11, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The blurry people, although nice, obscure some of the ornaments on the far wall. Also, the ceiling near the chandeliers is overexposed. Enochlau 01:54, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, just my opinion, but I think if they didn't, it wouldn't be a very interesting picture. People in front of some mosaics was unavoidable, and the image was intended really to illustrate the metro in use.  Also, lighting varies so much that it would be impossible to get all picture elements well exposed.  Do you think this harms the visual appeal of the image?  I had never particularly noticed or been distracted by the bright ceiling. Worldtraveller 17:11, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, one look at the bright ceiling and my eyes go ow. Enochlau 15:30, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Oppose (now Support), what Ed said, maybe a larger version would be possible? -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 08:02, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, personally I hate having to scroll to see all of an image - it ruins any impact it might have had for me. So, for my personal usability preferences I like images about 700px wide cos they fit nicely on my screen.  I feel that any benefit to the image from seeing it at higher resolution would be more than offset by having to scroll around to see it all, so I don't think I will upload a larger version.  I will see what it looks like with 800px wide and a bit more sharpening, though.  Worldtraveller 17:11, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Most decent browsers will auto-resize the image to the available screen resolution when viewing the image (not the image article). Its a minor incovenience, a larger image shows more detail and is way more useful in any future paper version of Wikipedia. I'd really like to see large versions of your great photography! -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 21:56, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * I am a sucker for a compliment :) so I have uploaded a truly massive 1000x677px, with a little bit extra sharpening and some improved (I think) colour saturation as well. Hope that might address your objections. Worldtraveller 23:14, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Great thanks! I hope you will consider uploading any new images in large resolution, chaning my vote to support. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 10:37, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * With regards to your point about making images 700px wide to fit on the screen, MediaWiki 1.4 (which has just been installed on the commons, and should be here soon) scales images to inside a 800px bounding square and provides a link to the full size image, if they are too big. As I've said here before, the technology is always going to improve, but we'll only have as much data as you give us. ed g2s  •  talk  19:07, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Plus, you never know what the user's screen resolution will be, and with the current trend they will only be increasing in the future. Its always better to have to scale a high res image down that to scale a low res image up. Anyways, great image. Support. --Aqua 23:19, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)

 * Support. Wonderful atmosphere - for me the "overlit" ceiling just adds to the dream-like quality of the photo. The "blurry" people are a representation of time ticking by and life in motion. I only wonder if there is a slight green cast or is it just the predominant colour? But great image. Cormaggio 22:41, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Tiled printing

Tiled printing is a method that computer programs use to enable users to print images larger than a standard page. This method was popularized by a program called The Rasterbator. A tiled printing program overlays a grid on the printed image in which each cell (or tile) is the size of a printed page and then prints each tile. A person can then arrange the tiles to reconstruct the full image.

Tiled printing has been widespread since the days of mainframe computers. An early example is the Unix  program, which in some Unix variants created very large printable text banners out of ASCII characters. Programs were available to convert images to ASCII art that, when printed large enough and viewed sufficiently far away, appeared to be smoothly shaded. Modern software may use halftoning to achieve a similar effect.

Another form of tiled printing, inspired by continuous feed printers, involves making a long message of letters, possibly with inline graphics of the same height, and printing it sideways over several pages to make a banner. This type of printing is usually associated with The Print Shop, a 1980s software package.

Since high-resolution images are used to create the prints, a large amount of ink is used in the process. Ink jet printers are used to make tiled printouts without sacrificing the resolution of the original image at reasonable cost. These decorations are sometimes called rasterbations, after a popular tiled printing program, "The Rasterbator." The Rasterbator program accepts users images and divides them into a grid format. Users can specify how big the final product should be, in terms of pages. The application then produces PDF images that when printed out, form the entire picture.

World records
Rasterbation is often the subject of record-breaking attempts to create the largest and most impressive tiled prints. The title of the world's largest rasterbation was previously held by "the Doomtech crew". However, in June 2007 the graduating class of the University of Toronto Schools, a Toronto high school, produced a rasterbation incorporating 1462 sheets of $8 1/2$"×14" legal-sized paper. This achievement surpassed the previous record by over two hundred sheets, but then was overtaken by a group from Groton School in May 2008. The Groton School Rasterbation used more than 1500 sheets of 11x14" paper and was 100' tall, making it the largest ever.

In June 2012, another graduating class from the University of Toronto Schools produced 74 9 × rasterbations in one night, each incorporating 143 sheets of $8 1/2$×11" letter-sized paper, for a record-shattering total of 10,582 sheets. Each rasterbation included the face of one of the graduating students with a doorway cut out of his or her gaping mouth - altogether, they created a corridor of mouths throughout the school's hallways.

In March 2013, a 1017 sqft rasterbation of Edvard Munchs iconic painting The Scream was created at Norway's largest computer party The Gathering (TG), as part of the art project "Scream from nature". It is the largest known reprint of any Munch painting. The rasterbation, made by the crew at Sørlanet, consisted of 1,517 (37 × 41) sheets of A4 paper, and measured 28.25 ×.
