January 2005 Iraqi parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Iraq on 30 January 2005 to elect the new National Assembly, alongside governorate elections and a parliamentary election in Kurdistan Region. The 275-member legislature had been created under the Transitional Law during the international occupation. The newly elected body was given a mandate to write a new constitution and exercise legislative functions until the new constitution came into effect. The elections also led to the formation of the Iraqi Transitional Government.

The United Iraqi Alliance, tacitly backed by Shia Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, emerged as the largest bloc with 48% of the vote and 140 out of the total 275 seats. The Democratic Patriotic Alliance of Kurdistan was in second place with 26%, whilst interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's party, the Iraqi List, came third with 14%. In total, twelve parties received enough votes to win a seat in the assembly.

Low turnout amongst Sunni Arabs threatened the legitimacy of the elections, with voter turnout as low as 2% in Al Anbar Governorate. More than 100 armed attacks on polling places took place, killing at least 44 people (including nine suicide bombers) across the country, including at least 20 in Baghdad.

Background
In November 2003, the US-managed Coalition Provisional Authority had announced plans to turn over sovereignty to an Iraqi Interim Government by mid-2004. The actual transfer of sovereignty occurred on 28 June 2004. The interim president installed was Sheikh Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer, and the interim prime minister was Ayad Allawi, a man who had been a CIA asset according to former American intelligence officials.

The voting represented the first general election since the United States-led 2003 invasion of Iraq, and marked an important step in the transition of turning control of the country over from United States occupation forces to the Iraqis themselves. The election was seen by some as a victory for democracy in the Middle East, but that opinion is not shared by all, especially as most of the Arab Sunnis boycotted the vote. Seymour Hersh has reported that there was an effort by the American government to shift funds and other resources to Allawi and that there may have been similar under-the-table dealings by other parties. Although he did not get the most seats in the Transitional Assembly, Allawi's delegation jumped from a projected 3-4% of the vote to 14% of the vote, giving him power in the writing of the Constitution.

Two parties supported by the majority Shi'a (or Shiite) Muslim community between them won a majority of seats, while parties representing the Kurdish community will also be strongly represented. Parties representing the Sunni Arab community boycotted the elections and some armed Sunni groups threatened election day violence. There were 44 deaths around polling stations in at least 9 separate attacks on election day. With a total of some 8.4 million votes cast, a 58% turnout, the Iraqi Electoral Commission considers the election to have taken place without major disruption. Voter turnout ranged from 89% in the Kurdish region of Dahuk to two percent in the Sunni region of Anbar.

After the legislative elections held in December 2005, where 76,4% of registered voters participated, the Iraqi government is considered by 44 international governments to be a legitimate government. According to the American administration, the judiciary in Iraq operates under the primacy of rule of law, so those convicted of war crimes from the former regime of Saddam Hussein will get an open trial, in which their rights will be subjected to due process and be protected by the scrutiny of a free press, the requirements of modern court proceedings. There has however been considerable criticism of criminal justice system presently operating in Iraq.

Transitional Law
The Transitional Law required a two-thirds majority of the new assembly to select the new presidents, who appointed the Prime Minister who took office after receiving a simple majority vote of confidence from the assembly. Eighteen Governorate Councils and a 111-member council of the Kurdistan Regional Government were also elected.

The Iraqi Transitional Assembly would:
 * Serve as Iraq's national legislature. It has named a Presidency Council, consisting of a President and two Vice Presidents. (By unanimous agreement, the Presidency Council will appoint a Prime Minister and, on his recommendation, cabinet ministers.)
 * Draft Iraq's new constitution. This constitution was presented to the Iraqi people for their approval in a national referendum in October 2005. Under the new constitution, Iraq would elect a permanent government in December 2005 as new legislative elections were held for the Council of Representatives of Iraq.

Under the Transitional Administrative Law, signed March 2004, the country's executive branch was led by a three-person presidential council. The election system for the council effectively ensures that all three of Iraq's major ethnic / religious groups are represented. The constitution also includes basic freedoms like freedom of religion, speech, and assembly, and is perceived by some to be more progressive than the American Constitution. Controversially, however, it states that all laws that were in effect on the transfer date cannot be repealed. Furthermore, since the coalition forces are currently working to maintain order and create a stable society under the United Nations, coalition troops can remain in effective control of the country despite the transfer of sovereignty. Since Iraqi forces were then considered not fully trained and equipped to police and secure their country, it was expected that coalition troops will remain until Iraqi forces no longer required their support.

Electoral system
The members of the National Assembly were elected by proportional representation using the Hare quota and the largest remainder method with a threshold of one quota. At least every third candidate on each list had to be female.

The Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq (IHEC) also held an "Out-of-Country Registration and Voting Program"; it was conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The goal of the program was to enable approximately one million eligible voters living outside Iraq to participate in the election of the transitional National Assembly. There are 280,303 registered expatriates. By far the largest group of those eligible to vote are in Iran with significant populations in a number of western countries. Iraqi expatriates voted from January 28 to January 30, 2005. International voters could place their ballots in fourteen countries: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Iran, Jordan, Netherlands, Sweden, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Violence and disruption
Armed Islamist, Ba'athist and other groups, which have carried out a campaign of bombings and assassinations in Iraq since the beginning of the occupation in 2003 (see Iraqi insurgency), threatened to disrupt the elections by suicide bombing and other violent tactics.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, head of the al-Qaida affiliate in Iraq, said: "We have declared a fierce war on this evil principle of democracy and those who follow this wrong ideology. Anyone who tries to help set up this system is part of it". He also made it clear that al-Qaida opposes elections in Iraq because they will result in a Shi'a-dominated government. He alleged that "the Shiites aim to begin spreading their evil faith among people through money and fear,"

A rigid security clampdown succeeded in preventing major disruption of the polling. In most parts of the country Iraqis were able to vote freely. More than 100 armed attacks on polling places took place, killing at least 44 people (including nine suicide bombers) across Iraq, including at least 20 in Baghdad. However, threats by opponents of the election to "wash the streets in blood" were not fulfilled.

An unnamed al-Qaida affiliate dismissed the elections as "theatrics" and promised to continue waging "holy war" against coalition forces. "These elections and their results ... will increase our strength and intention to getting rid of injustice," read the statement, which was posted to an Islamist web site.

Boycotts
One challenge to the legitimacy of the election was the low Arab Sunni turnout, which was as low as 2% in Anbar province. Areas with mixed populations saw the vast majority of voters back Shi'ite or Kurdish parties. The largest Arab Sunni party, The Iraqis, won only 1.78% of the vote (for comparison, Arab Sunnis are thought to be 15-20% of the population).

The boycott was largely a product of the threatened violence. The violence is centered in the Arab Sunni areas and the Arab Sunni party leaders felt that it would be impossible to hold fair elections in their areas. Major Arab Sunni parties such as the Iraqi Islamic Party and the Association of Muslim Scholars, boycotted the elections, as did some smaller groups such as the Worker-Communist Party of Iraq. The major Arab Sunni groups called for elections to be postponed until the safety of voters could be guaranteed. This call for a delay was supported by some in the west, but any such scheme was strongly opposed by the Shi'a parties. Despite the boycott and the resulting tiny Arab Sunni representation in the assembly, the major party leaders have assured the Arab Sunnis that they will have input into the new constitution. It is also expected that at least one of the major government positions will go to an Arab Sunni.

Small groups of protesters around the United States demonstrated in support of the boycott of the Iraq elections and against the occupation of Iraq. They claim that for an Iraqi election to have meaning America should not be "orchestrating the process".

Scott Ritter has alleged that America has partially rigged the election to reduce the percentage won by the United Iraqi Alliance from 56% to 48%. No evidence has been provided to support these allegations.

Observers

The election was monitored from outside of Iraq by the International Mission for Iraqi Elections made up of members from nine nations and headed by Canada. It was supported by the United Nations but was not a UN operation. The UN recused itself from monitoring the election as it had played a central role in setting up the election. A number of UN staffers worked within the Iraqi electoral commission setting up the election and are considered by some to be de facto international observers. It proved impossible to find monitors that would actually monitor the election from within the country. Rather the IMIE observers were based in Amman, Jordan and monitored the election from there. There were also representatives in Baghdad, generally the staff in the embassies of the IMIE nations. The absentee poll held in fourteen countries around the world were monitored by a wide array of IGO and NGOs, but these groups were unwilling to monitor the election in Iraq itself.

It is highly unusual to base the monitoring team outside of the country where the election is being held, but the observers decided this was necessary for safety reasons. Among other security precautions all but the head of the mission, Canadian Jean-Pierre Kingsley, remained anonymous. The main burden on monitoring the election thus fell to Iraqi representatives on the ground who sent reports to Amman. The majority of these volunteers were some 35,000 partisan scrutineers representing the parties competing in the election. Another 21,000 non-partisan volunteers were recruited by a variety of agencies and NGOs. The observers assert that despite the unusual circumstances the election was adequately monitored. Others disagree arguing that the IMIE was created to rubber stamp the American-created elections.

At the close of the polls, Kingsley stated that "the Iraqi elections generally meet international standards," while a preliminary assessment released after polling closed said that areas needing improvement included "transparency regarding financial contributions and expenditures, improvements to the voter registration process and reviewing the criteria for candidate eligibility."

The final report is available on the IMIE Web site.

Results
Provisional results released on February 13 showed that the United Iraqi Alliance, tacitly backed by Shi'a leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, led with some 48% of the vote. The Democratic Patriotic Alliance of Kurdistan was in second place with some 26% of the vote. Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's party, the Iraqi List, came third with some 14%. In total, twelve parties received enough votes to win a seat in the assembly.

The majority of the 111 lists that competed in the election did not win seats. The most prominent party to be excluded was the secular, but predominantly Sunni, Independent Democrats Movement led by former exile Adnan Pachachi. It only received some 12,000 votes. Other prominent parties that failed to win seats include the monarchist Constitutional Monarchy Movement, and the Movement of Free Military Officers and Civilians.

Aftermath
On 5 April 2005, the Iraqi Transitional National Assembly appointed Jalal Talabani, a prominent Kurdish leader, President. It also appointed Adel Abdul Mehdi, a Shiite Arab, and Ghazi al-Yawar, the former Interim President and a Sunni Arab, as Vice Presidents. Ibrahim al-Jaafari a Shiite, whose United Iraq Alliance Party won the largest share of the vote, was appointed the new Prime Minister of Iraq. Most power was vested in him. The new government was faced with two major tasks. The first was to attempt to rein in a violent insurgency, which had blighted the country in recent months, killing many Iraqi civilians and officials as well as a number of American troops. (As of mid-2005, approximately 135,000 American troops remained in Iraq with 2,214 American soldiers killed.) The second major task was to re-engage in the writing of a new Iraqi constitution, as outlined above, to replace the Transitional Administrative Law of 2004.

Kunowsky (lunar crater)

Kunowsky is a small lunar impact crater on the Mare Insularum, in the western half of the Moon's near side. It is named after the German astronomer Georg Karl Friedrich Kunowsky. It lies about one third the distance from Encke to the west-northwest and Lansberg to the east-southeast.

This formation is surrounded by lunar mare, and the interior has been flooded by basaltic lava, leaving only a roughly circular rim projecting above the surface. The rim is slender and sharp-edged, with no significant erosion. Apart from a tiny craterlet at the midpoint of the interior floor, this crater has no other significant features. It does lie in a region of the mare where rays from the craters Kepler to the northwest and Copernicus farther to the northeast.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Kunowsky.

Joel Crothers

Joel Anthony Crothers (January 28, 1941 – November 6, 1985) was an American actor. His credits primarily included stage and television work, including a number of soap opera roles, the best known being Miles Cavanaugh on The Edge of Night, whom he played for eight years. He was also known for his roles as Joe Haskell and Lieutenant Nathan Forbes on Dark Shadows, Ken Stevens #2 on The Secret Storm, and pianist/newspaper editor Julian Cannell on Somerset.

Early years
Born January 28, 1941, in Cincinnati and raised in New York City, Crothers graduated from Birch Wathen School in 1958. His passion for performing emerged at the early age of nine. Crothers auditioned and won a role on the CBS religious TV series Lamp Unto My Feet. At the time, his father was a production supervisor on the show. Unbeknownst to him, his son auditioned for the show under a different name, apparently done as a practical joke. Nevertheless, by the age of twelve, he was taking Broadway bows alongside Burgess Meredith for his stage debut in 1954 in The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker at the Coronet Theatre.

Career
During the 1950s and 1960s, Crothers made guest appearances on numerous prime-time programs, including Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Defenders, Have Gun – Will Travel, Rescue 8, Zane Grey Theater, Studio One, Playhouse 90, Kraft Television Theatre, and Goodyear Playhouse. His later daytime television credits included First Ladies Diaries: Martha Washington.

Crothers was cast in the 1960 episode, "3-7-77", of the syndicated anthology series, Death Valley Days hosted by Stanley Andrews. He played Jim Badger, a young man who tangles with corrupt lawmen and vigilantes.

Crothers graduated from Harvard University, Phi Beta Kappa, in 1962. In 1966, he returned to Broadway in a starring role opposite Joan Van Ark in Barefoot in the Park, which he worked on simultaneously with his stint on Dark Shadows. From 1966 to 1969, he played Joe Haskell, boyfriend of Carolyn Stoddard (Nancy Barrett) and later boyfriend of Maggie Evans (Kathryn Leigh Scott). During the 1795 storyline, he played Lt. Nathan Forbes, a devious naval officer who blackmailed his way into the Collins family. After Nathan Forbes was killed off, Crothers's main character, Joe, was bitten by the vampire Angélique and placed under her thrall. Haunted by the apparition of his deceased cousin Tom (a victim of Angélique) and unable to cope with the revelation that Tom's twin brother Chris was a werewolf, Joe slowly lost touch with reality and was sent to a mental hospital by Maggie. He was never seen again and was mentioned only once in a later episode.

From 1969 to 1971, he played twice-married cheat and liar Ken Stevens #2 on the CBS serial The Secret Storm. Several of his 1971 episodes have been preserved by UCLA's TV Archives, though the magnetic VHS tapes are awaiting digital transfer and are not available for viewing by the public. From 1972 to 1976, he played concert pianist-turned-newspaper editor Julian Cannell on Somerset. From 1977 to 1984, he made it big with another soap opera role: Dr. Miles Cavanaugh on ABC's The Edge of Night, for which he was twice nominated as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at the Daytime Emmy Awards in 1979 and 1984. He played that role until the series went off the air on December 28, 1984. In 1985, his final role was on Santa Barbara as both Jack Lee, a prominent attorney, and his villainous lookalike cousin Jerry Cooper, who had locked Jack in a dungeon and was posing as him.

His soap opera fame helped draw attention to the ground-breaking off-Broadway play Torch Song Trilogy. The play made major stars of its writer (and lead performer) Harvey Fierstein and castmates Estelle Getty and Matthew Broderick—but when it premiered, Crothers was better known than any of them and received star billing on posters, playbills, and even the tickets. Fierstein played Arnold, a world-weary drag queen; Crothers played Arnold's bisexual lover, Ed. He left the cast when Torch Song transferred to Broadway. Brian Kerwin played Ed in the film version.

Personal life
Crothers was openly gay among co-stars and others in the entertainment industry, but was closeted publicly and was even engaged to his good friend, actress Veleka Gray, at the time of his death. They became close friends on the set when she joined the final season of Somerset, where they played the lovers Julian Cannell and Vicki Paisley.

Death
During his last appearances on Santa Barbara, he was by then growing very ill. On November 6, 1985, Crothers died from AIDS-related lymphoma in Los Angeles at the age of 44. His remains were cremated and scattered in Lake George, New York.

Ed Dodd

Edward Benton Dodd (November 7, 1902 – May 27, 1991) was a 20th-century American cartoonist known for his Mark Trail comic strip.

Early years
Born in Lafayette, Georgia to Reverend Jesse Mercer Dodd and Effie Cook Dodd (the artist Lamar Dodd was his first cousin), Ed Dodd went to work for Dan Beard, founder of the Boy Scouts of America, at the age of 16. Dodd worked at Beard's camp in Pennsylvania for 13 summers, where he honed his writing and illustration skills under Beard's guidance. Dodd became a scoutmaster and the first paid youth and physical education director for the city of Gainesville, Georgia.

Back Home Again
After studying architecture at Georgia Tech and at the Art Students League of New York, he purchased a ranch in Wyoming in 1926. In 1930, while working as a guide in the national parks, he created Back Home Again, a moderately successful daily single-panel which included characters from Gainesville and North Georgia. The panel, about a hillbilly family, was distributed nationally by United Feature Syndicate until 1945.

Mark Trail
On April 15, 1946, he launched Mark Trail as a daily comic strip distributed by The New York Post to 45 newspapers. Mark Trail centers on environmental themes and its title character, a wildlife photographer and author whose assignments inevitably lead to involvement in local environmental conflicts. Trail was a younger "alter ego" of Dodd (Gurr 2006), likewise a pipe-smoking outdoorsman and conservationist but footloose and free to travel to adventure. Trail owned a St. Bernard named Andy and lived (between travels) with Doc and Cherry Davis in Lost Forest. Likewise, Dodd had a St. Bernard named Andy, and owned a home and studio (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's student Herbert Millkey ) in a 130 acre forest in North Georgia that he named Lost Forest. Dodd's challenge with this alter ego was to write an educational outdoors-themed continuity strip, in varied settings, about a good-guy conservationist who nevertheless remained credible as a man in his responses to exploiters and to underdogs, and to romance and to hardship. At its peak in the 1960s, the strip enjoyed distribution to about 500 newspapers through North America Syndicate and spun off numerous publications about camping and wildlife.

Mark Trail was written by Dodd and drawn by Tom Hill until the latter's death in 1978. Dodd then retired, and the strip was continued by his long-time assistant, Jack Elrod, and later by James Allen and Jules Rivera.

Dodd enjoyed wide respect for his support of conservation, and among his honors was Georgia Conservationist of the Year in 1967. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Mark Trail in 1986, he told a reporter that he had quit Georgia Tech's architecture program because of failing grades in math and chemistry. "In my case, finishing college would have been a mistake," he said. "I'd probably have become a mediocre architect and starved to death." Towards the end of his life, he established the Mark Trail/Ed Dodd Foundation. He died in Gainesville in 1991, survived by his fourth wife, Rosemary, who still resides in Gainesville. That same year, the U.S. Congress honored Dodd's hero with the Mark Trail Wilderness in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Dodd's 130-acre Lost Forest is now residential neighborhoods, one bearing the name "Lost Forest" with a street named "Mark Trail". In 1996, the house formerly occupied by Dodd in Lost Forest burned to the ground (Hill 2003).

Lallemand (crater)

Lallemand is a small lunar impact crater that lies near the western limb of the Moon, in a region where the visibility is affected by libration effects. Because of its location, when viewed from the Earth the crater is viewed nearly from the side, limiting the amount of detail that can be seen. It lies in the northeast part of a mountain range named the Montes Rook that forms a ring around the enormous Mare Orientale impact basin. To the northeast is the Lacus Autumni and to the northwest lies the Lacus Veris, both forming small lunar maria along the sides of the range.

This is a roughly circular, bowl-shaped crater that lies along the northeastern edge of the Montes Rook. Its interior walls slope down to a small floor at the midpoint. This crater was previously designated Kopff A before being named for French astronomer André Lallemand by the IAU in 1985. Kopff is located to the southwest along the eastern edge of the Mare Orientale.

 * Keep and note that Ciz is currently facing the sharp end of an ArbCom request for a complete wikipedia ban, having gone through "Vandalism in progress", RFC, mediation, two 24 hour sysop bans, caused two vprot lockdowns of the article for vandalism including mass deletion of books and academic sources, editing of other users comments, multiple obsessive personal attacks on furrys, and libellous personal attacks on users talk pages and in article talk pages.

 * Can arbitrations have "goals"? Is FT2 willing to offer the accused a plea bargain?Dr Zen 02:38, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * If you bother to look into it, you'll see plenty of attempts at measures less than banning. Ciz's rejection of them (and escalation of his efforts) resulted in FT2 and others seeking the only remaining remedy, thru arbitration. If you want to debate it, there will be a time and place for it; this isn't it. JAQ 03:57, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * What makes you think I didn't look into it? I see a pretty POV article and an editor going the wrong way about fixing that. Perhaps he didn't know too well how things work here. Perhaps you don't. Perhaps in particular you're not aware that advocating for bans is frowned on. If you bring the case for arbitration, you are not the prosecuting attorney, and you do not recommend a punishment. And dude, there's always time for discussion, and it can happen anywhere. I don't like your attitude. I don't think it's helping and I think you have plenty to answer for.Dr Zen 23:51, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * You seemed unaware of the previous efforts to reach a compromise short of arbitration (i.e. "plea bargains"), which suggested that you had not yet looked into the dispute. Ciz has had plenty of opportunity to learn how things work here, as well (I've coached him repeatedly, as did others before he wore them down). Although I'm pretty familiar with Wikipedia, I don't have any prior experience with arbitration here, so your suggestion against requesting a particular outcome is helpful. Likewise, if you have specific complaints against me, by all means let me know what they are. JAQ 01:17, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * (The reason why a total ban is sought and not a ban merely from this article is given in the draft request being prepared. basically we feel there is strong evidence that Ciz is not interested in the wiki process nor would he behave differently in similar circumstances on other issues he may come to obsess over.  The sense of the consensus is that its not one article, its Ciz being felt liekly to be unsuited for a wiki community in general) FT2 07:45, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

 * Eww. Gross.  Also, an obvious keep. Unlike the childlove gang that tried hijacking the site a few months back with those articles of theirs, this is totally NPOV, totally encyclopedic and a totally referenced article on a real psychological disorder. - Lucky 6.9 02:28, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Did you read the whole page? Its treated as normal and ok. --Ciz 04:19, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Concur with Lucky 6.9. Incidently, Wikipedia also has articles on Nazism and The Holocaust, but that doesn't mean that Wikipedians think that its normal or ok to shove Jews or Roma into ovens.  Edeans 07:27, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Do the articles try argue that Naziism is normal, ok, or acceptable? Does the article argue that Nazis are poor, misunderstood, people who are really nice if you get to know them? No.  --Ciz 17:43, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Can you point me to any particular sentences like "Wikipedia hereby endorses the act of having sex with animals?" Just because the article describes such practices and the research surrounding the subject and doesn't call them immoral doesn't mean the article condones it. No matter how hard you try to push your point of view, Wikipedia will not make moral judgments like "these people are sickos" or "such and such an activity is bad behavior", simply because not everybody believes this. We are here to report universal knowledge, and to state who believes what, not to tell right from wrong. Whether or not an activity is immoral is up to the readers to decide for themselves. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 07:37, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * In addition there are strong "double standards" over animals (as utilities and property vs. as independent living beings worthy of respect) so often people are unconvinced that animals can consent, enjoy or understand sex in a meaningful way. So basically it implies that if you dont accept zoophilia its because you see animals as utilities and property. Psychological and sexology research concludes beyond this, that far from being "profoundly disturbed behaviour", zoophilic feelings and relationships are common, latent in many people, and can be authentic, relational, and genuine. Any questions? Zoophiles also note that people who have only minimal interest in animal consent of any kind generally (eg, for surgery, euthenasia, docking, castration, food, care, emotional security or dangerous activities), demand consent only when it relates to sex. They observe that in fact animals negotiate sex, form relational bonds, and give or withold consent in their own way in every kind of activity, and that this is both natural and unmistakable. Mmhmm? 'Castration' refers to neutering or spaying animals, which is recommended by most animal rights organizations because it keeps the animals healthier and prevents further animal overpopulation, while zoos condemn it because then they wont be able to have sex with them. The same goes for surgery, which is usually for the animal's own good. The same goes for euthanasia; if the animal is in pain and is dying and its life is miserable; vetenerians recomment having the animal put to sleep. ...Read the whole article; it doesnt tell you to do it but it does say doing it is ok and normal.   --Ciz 17:43, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Did you even bother to read the headers for those sections? They are "arguments" and "counter-arguments". Wikipedia is not saying this, we're just reporting the opinions of others. If you think it needs to be made clearer that these are not everybody's opinion, by all means add phrases like "Some people believe..." and "It has been suggested...", but these are actual arguments being used in debate. In any case, VfD is not the place for debating this, since POV is not a deletion criterion. You're supposed to be convincing us that this article somehow violates the deletion policy, which you should have read before adding this to VfD as per the instructions at the top of the page. Otherwise this entry is nothing but vandalism. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 18:09, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Umm... no. The 'arguments against zoophilia' lists the arguments in a condescending way and criticise the arguments. ('In the main page, it says people who are against are people who are unsympathetic to alternate lifestyles, or who lack much awareness of zoophilia. It also says in that one of the arguments is "It is sick (wrong, twisted, disgusting, "icky")" (note the childish word 'icky'). The article also states as a fact that psychological and sexology research concludes beyond this, that far from being "profoundly disturbed behaviour", zoophilic feelings and relationships are common, latent in many people, and can be authentic, relational, and genuine. And in the Arguments for  section it says Zoophiles also note that people who have only minimal interest in animal consent of any kind generally (eg, for surgery, euthenasia, docking, castration, food, care, emotional security or dangerous activities), demand consent only when it relates to sex. They observe that in fact animals negotiate sex, form relational bonds, and give or withold consent in their own way in every kind of activity, and that this is both natural and unmistakable. Instead using words like 'They think' they use words like 'observe' and 'note' as if its a fact instead of an opinion.  They also make use misleading arguments to make it sound like people who 'have minimal  interest'  for the welfare of animals are the people against bestiality (when most animal rights organizations condemn it) and use misleading words that make it sound like people against bestiality view animals as property or utilities instead of living breathing creatures (which is also untrue.) --Ciz 19:27, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to continue this argument any longer, since, again, this this not the place for debating whether or not an article is POV. PLEASE read the deletion policy and tell me what criterion of that policy you think this article fulfills. Tell me why all this information is completely worthless, unencyclopedic and that there is not one shred of information worth keeping. That is what VfD is for, not for dragging talk page debates into the spotlight. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 21:48, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. the article does cover the many objections as well as the views of the proponents. Since there are still unanswered questions, the article would be flawed if it did try to draw its own conclusions. iMeowbot 09:30, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Extreme keep. This is hillarious.  Where do I sign up to cancel Ciz's AOL account?  —[[en:RaD Man|RaD Man (talk)]] 09:55, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to clean up. I am a bit concerned that all of the research cited in the Wikipedia article says that it is mostly not harmful but a UK Home Office Review of Sexual Offences produced a white paper  stating  "Sexual activity with animals is generally recognised to be profoundly disturbed behaviour. A new offence of bestiality will criminalise those who sexually penetrate animals or allow an animal to penetrate them. This offence will complement existing non-sexual offences of cruelty to animals. Bestiality will carry a maximum penalty of 2 years imprisonment." Yet the summary of research in the Wikipedia article does not support this view. Presumably, the UK Government had research supporting this conclusion which should be cited in the article. The Wikipedia article seems to me to be pushing a POV at the moment. While I appreciate that user Ciz has not helped himself by his behaviour, I think that it might be wise to review this article so that we can be assured that it is not pushing a POV. Capitalistroadster 11:55, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * In general, history has shown that it is an extremely bad idea to ever "presume" that a government body must have had adequate reason for saying and doing the things it does. If you presumed that the Meese Commission on Pornography must have had access to research to support its anti-pornography conclusions, you would be dead wrong, since the researchers that the Commission itself appointed did not find the link that the Commission wanted and that did not stop the Commission from announcing that the link had been found. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:55, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Agreed; it needs respectful, constructive editing to restore NPOV. JAQ 12:52, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * But wouldnt all that info make it negative? *gasp* --Ciz 17:43, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * No, it wouldn't. NPOV means that it would be neither anti-zoophilia nor pro-zoophilia.  I know that's not what you want.  It's probably not what some of the other editors want (who want it to be pro-zoo).  But it's what several of us want, and most of the rest are willing to accept. So if you'd stop sabotaging the article by adding judgmental crap to it, and trying to remove anything you don't agree with (and now even the whole article, with this obviously inappropriate VfD), maybe those of us who really want a NPOV could achieve it.  JAQ 18:10, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * You seem to be siding more with the pro-side than the anti-side. --Ciz 19:27, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I've disagreed with the pro-zoo side about the pamphetspeak saying what empathic and open-minded people zoos are, and about the authoritativeness of the handful of studies cited. I only stopped challenging them because there was a worse offender to deal with. Some of their edits have problems; many of your edits are problems. JAQ 22:02, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I wonder if you noticed, the UK Home Office quote is already in the article #Arguments. What the Home Office quote is not, is a professional opinion by experts in the field.  It is a view by legislators. The article states, NPOV, that legally most juristictions are against it, and that the UK view is as quoted. It also states that this is not an accurate representation of the professional view. FT2 18:32, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * Its funny; APA has publically supported gay marriage, saying how homosexuality is normal and that legalizing it is important for the mental health of gay teens and such. I dont see them going out to the press and asking for 'zoophilia awareness' or to legalize bestiality. --Ciz 19:27, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Correct. And if you went back in gay history 40 or so years to when homosexuality was at the same stage of evaluation by the APA, I think you'll find a straightforward answer why thats so... (and no Ciz, that is not a statement in favour of any stance.  Its an observation about how professional understanding is gained and views evolve over time) FT2 22:56, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * However, in the case of homosexuality most objections were due to religious reasons, not for possible abuse of one of the parties. No one said there was a victim in the homosexual relationship-it was depraved and both people were wrong. With zoophilia, the concerns are that one of the parties in the 'relationship' is being abused. Think about it; if two men are together both are equal and can take care of themselves. They're usually responsible for themselves. However, a human is not equal with an animal. The pet most likely relies on its owner for being taken care of; food, vet, ect. Their is also the intelligence issue; the animal closest to human intelligence are the monkeys (and even then there's a huge gap), with dolphins in second. Animals like cats and dogs come in third.  --Ciz 14:44, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Internet Art

By Rachel Greene

London, Thames & Hudson, 2004.

Rachel Greene was Executive Director of Rhizome.org. Her knowledge of matters connected to the issue of art in the Internet era is supported both by her involvement in the web based resource Rhizome.org and by her activity as curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.

The book is a survey of the history of Net Art that is still young as a discipline, but deeply connected with issues of New Media art, which bring us back to the early XX century and to Futurism and, through Video Art and Electronic Art, present us our today. What emerges is the idea of web as a way to communicate. If the first meaning of Internet was to distribute information, with Net Art we have still a distribution of information where information assumes the shape of sabotage or critic, suggesting the idea of Net Art as a form of Intellectual Activism.

From Bunting to Cosic, from Jodi.org to RTmark, from etoy to Joy Garnett, from Coco Fusco to Cory Arcangel, this book is the perfect database of databases, a new handle sourcebook for the lucky series “World of Art” published by Thames & Hudson.

Mico, Texas

Mico is an unincorporated community in northeastern Medina County, Texas, United States. It is approximately 40 mi west of Downtown San Antonio off Farm to Market Road 1283. The community is part of the San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Its zip code is 78056.

The Medina Irrigation Company (MICO) originally built much of the community as a workers camp, to house the approximately 1500 Mexican laborers (and their families) who constructed Medina Dam. It was the fourth largest dam in the United States at its completion in 1913. The dam has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The dam created Lake Medina, a reservoir to supply water for irrigation of an estimated 60000 acre. The company was founded by Dr. Frederick Stark Pearson, an engineer and developer who designed the dam and raised private project funding, chiefly by the sale of subscriptions to British investors. The outbreak of World War I cut off the flow of capital for sale of farmland dependent on the project. Pearson's company went into receivership in 1914 and was sold finally at public auction in 1924. Today the dam and lake are operated by a local water authority.

The town was first named MICO, spelled in capital letters after the company's acronym. The town was renamed Medina Lake in 1916, but reverted to the name Mico in 1923.

Today, Mico has a Volunteer City Council Manager, and operates a Volunteer Fire Department. Tourists can enjoy the entertainment by visiting the local bars in town. For overnight travel, the bed and breakfast should be your first stop.

Talk:Bioluminescence

Shouldn't we add bioluminescent plankton?
I think there should be a minimum info on wikipedia on the term bioluminescsnt plankton, as scientific researches are heavily growing in the genre. There may be some mistakes that i have added. I don' t care if my write up is kept or not, but can somebody add this topic in a proper way? (as my one is reverted)

Bioluminescent Plankton
Bioluminescent plankton are often found in various parts of the ocean, mostly in the surface waters mostly.

These planktons e.g. Dinoflagellates play a significant role in marine ecosystems. When a predator disturbs the water where these plankton are present, they emit light, creating a burst of luminous blue or green color. This sudden flash of light can startle predators and potentially reveal the presence of the predator to other larger creatures nearby.

Additionally, bioluminescent plankton can attract smaller organisms towards them. Many animals are drawn to the light, assuming it to be a potential source of food. This can lead to an interesting interplay of interactions in the ocean's food web.

Example of Bioluminescent Planktons

 * 1) Dinoflagellates
 * 2) Pyrocystis fusiformis
 * 3) Ctenophores

Tareksiddikitaki (talk) 21:23, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

 * The dinoflagellates are not only already mentioned and cited in the article, they are also illustrated. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:44, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Biofluorescence into Bioluminescence
Should be merged due to lack of independent importance. TRL (talk) 00:07, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Should not be merged as the two things are not the same in any way apart from the 'insects that glow' part.

 * I apologize for my lack of knowledge about how these talk pages and no doubt etitquette or good form here, I just am an average reader of wikipedia rather than an editor, and I have no idea on protocol re: these talk pages or how to discuss. But as a regular user I felt I had to contribute my thoughts here, and say that as a reader I don't really want two separate phenomena and very different things conflated and merged into a single article because some editor said so. Should there just be one page for 'insects' with billions of sub sections? Not everything needs to be clumped together surely? It seems to me that it would actually be more beneficial for the average person seeking knowledge to be able to read specific pages, separately with more specialization than just cramming somehow similar things together. What's the actual benefit to that anyway, and going from the specific to the general? This is supposed to be an encyclopedia. Thank you. 1.129.109.22 (talk) 11:35, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your suggestion. We would like to keep the page Biofluorescence separately from Bioluminescence at least for couple weeks till we get a Final grade for that assignment. Thank you for understanding! Biofluorescence and Bioluminescence are different processes and we address it in the text. Recently astonishing number of animals were discovered to be fluorescent but they don't posses bioluminescence, it's why nobody suspected they were biofluorescent in the first place! We have a link in the text to the Fluorescence page and to the Bioluminescence page. Again, Bioluminescence and Biofluorescence are different Nature phenomenons and each deserved to have its own wiki page. Thank you. 2601:2C1:200:D860:D90F:AF04:DCA6:C05D (talk) 01:56, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose - the Biofluorescence article is in a terrible state, but given that the phenomenon exists in the natural world and has attracted the notice of scientists, it is notable. The phenomenon is sharply distinct from Bioluminescence - light is produced only when the organism is illuminated, so a merger would be entirely inappropriate. If you think the topic is not notable, the appropriate forum is AfD. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:07, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Leakey (crater)

Leakey is a small, undistinguished lunar impact crater that is located in an area of rough terrain in the eastern part of the Moon. It was named after British archaeologist Louis Leakey.

The immediate area is not notable for crater features, although some distance to the southwest is the crater pair of Capella and Isidorus. In the surface between this pair and Leakey is a system of rilles designated the Rimae Gutenberg that follow a course to the southeast.

Leakey is a circular, bowl-shaped formation that is symmetrical and not significantly eroded. The inner walls slope down to a ring of low albedo material having a diameter about half that of the crater. The rim is not notably eroded and the crater has no other features of interest.

Bernhard Förster

Ludwig Bernhard Förster (31 March 1843 – 3 June 1889) was a German teacher and anti-Semitic activist. He was married to Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, the sister of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

Life
Förster became a leading figure in the anti-Semitic faction on the far right of German politics and wrote on the Jewish question, characterizing Jews as constituting a "parasite on the German body". In order to support his beliefs he set up the Deutscher Volksverein (German People's League) in 1881 with Max Liebermann von Sonnenberg.

In 1883, Förster left Germany in order to emigrate to Paraguay, when his anti-Semitic belief system resulted in social ostracization and the loss of his teaching job. After searching the country for many months, Förster found a suitable site to establish a settlement. It was 600 square kilometres and almost 300 kilometres north of Asunción. The settlement was to become known as "Nueva Germania". Förster returned to Germany in March 1885 and married Elisabeth Nietzsche on 22 May. The couple assembled a group of 'pioneers' who shared their anti-Semitic views and wished to live in a new 'Fatherland' where an Aryan could prosper. They travelled to Paraguay from Hamburg in February 1886.

The initiative was a failure for many reasons, not least the harsh environment. Förster, with unserviceable debts, drank heavily and became depressed. He eventually committed suicide by poisoning himself with a combination of morphine and strychnine in his room at the Hotel del Lago in San Bernardino, Paraguay, on 3 June 1889. He was buried in San Bernardino. After his death, his widow Elisabeth wrote a book entitled Bernhard Förster's Colony New Germany in Paraguay. Intended to salvage Förster's reputation by portraying him as a hero, the book first appeared in print in 1891.

Rhythm Science

By Paul D. Miller AKA Dj Spooky That Subliminal Kid

Cambridge, MIT Press, 2004

Rhythm Science is a perfect vehicle to understand the art of DJ Spooky. It is not a book about deejay culture, rather it is a pastiche of reflections and diaries, philosophy and subculture. The life of Paul Miller is seen through the mass of DJ Spooky. The practice of djing is told as a choice of life. Records are the means to rebuild memory, to recombine history. The art of turntables is “the art of being memory permutation machines”. DJ Spooky’s music is an opportunity to born again. Composition of abstracts and their recontextualization is proof of the presence of an only divine viewpoint, that of the dj. As DJ Spooky says “The sample is an interrogation of the meaning we see in a song, of its emotional content lifted away like a shroud from a dead corpse, only to be refitted and placed on another body”. Besides, text benefits from the added value of a graphic cloth following the sense of DJ Spooky’s philosophy. From the cover, through pages, reading is accompanied by the virtual circular presence of a disc we find real just at the end of the book: it is DJ Spooky’ science’s rhythm, it is Rhythm Science.

Lindbergh (crater)

Lindbergh is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the western part of the Mare Fecunditatis. It lies to the west of the flooded crater Bilharz, and northeast of Ibn Battuta. Lindbergh was previously designated Messier G before being given its name by the IAU. The unusual elongated crater Messier lies about 150 km to the northwest.

This is an isolated crater that is entirely surrounded by lunar mare. It is circular and bowl-shaped, with an interior floor that is about half the diameter of the crater. The inner walls slope gently down to the floor, and lacks notable features or impacts.

The Illustrated Story of Copyright

By Edwards Samuels

New York, St. Martin’s Griffin, 2002.

The purpose of lawyer Samuels here is to create a reference to electric and electronic civilization. The starting point is, in fact, consideration that electric media like tape recorders or photocopiers, as well as digital media like computers allow everyone to copy and reproduce information and forms. Then, regarding the Internet, Samuel says: “There are no boundaries in cyberspace, and no government or entity can possibly enforce property rights there. Two-hundred-year-old systems of copyright and the interests they protect are obsolete”. The essay examines the issue of copyright into five different media: 1) the book publishing industry, 2) the music industries, 3) the movie and television industries, 4) the computer and computer software industries, 5) some challenges raised by multimedia and the Internet. The book is well illustrated with ancient and rare images. The writing is sometime too formal, according to the author’s purpose to write as if writing law review articles. This is the worst characteristic of the book, because the author remains too objective and rarely takes position. While, the main aspect of the Open Source Culture is that it is growing thanks to discussions and opinions and even too specific perspectives.

The INTERVENTIONISTS

By Thompson, N. and Sholette, G.

Cambridge, MIT Press, 2004.

This book is the catalogue of an ongoing exhibition at the North Adams Mass MOCA. The book has the shape of an antique flea-market-style-book, but its internal is organized in the rule of a cool contemporary graphic design style. It presents the work of artists in the exhibition organizing them in four parts: nomads, reclaim the streets, ready to wear, the experimental universities. The realm of such works of art is based on an open source culture. The open source culture is considered in a perspective that came from International Situationism and from Fluxus, from Debord both with Beuys. Among the artists here represented there are Krzsztof Wodizczko, William Pope, The Critical Art Ensemble, Lucy Orta etc. Their way of working can be identified under the concept of Intellectual Activism considering both their political aspect and their aesthetic dimension. The subtitle of the book helps to identify what we are managing with. It is a survey of practices and theories to deconstruct the world, not only its form but the idea of the world itself. A world built up by few in the name of the masses, a world that produces illusions selling them as products.

Noam Pitlik

Noam Pitlik (November 4, 1932 – February 18, 1999) was an American television director and actor. In 1979, Pitlik won an Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series for his work on the ABC sitcom Barney Miller.

Early life
The son of Dr. and Mrs. Samuel Pitlik, he was born in Philadelphia. He was a graduate of Central High School, Gratz College, and Temple University.

Career
Pitlik began his acting career in a Western series on WCAU in Philadelphia. In 1951, he was part of the set design and construction crew for the Philadelphia Experimental Theater. In 1952, he was a member of the cast for the Summer Theater Guild's production of Philadelphia Story in Indiana, Pennsylvania.

In 1957, he starred in an Off-Broadway production of Kurt Weill's The Threepenny Opera. During the 1960s and 1970s, Pitlik became a familiar character actor on television, making guest appearances in around 80 different TV series (making multiple appearances in several) including The Untouchables; The Rifleman; The Patty Duke Show; Gunsmoke; My Favorite Martian; Combat!; The Virginian; The Munsters, Gidget; The Andy Griffith Show; Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.; Get Smart; The Invaders; The Fugitive; The F.B.I.; I Dream of Jeannie; Hogan's Heroes (in seven different roles, including in the pilot episode); The Monkees; Bewitched; The Flying Nun;  That Girl; Run for Your Life; The Mod Squad; The Doris Day Show; The Odd Couple; Nanny and the Professor; The Partridge Family; Room 222; Night Gallery; Love, American Style;  All in the Family; Mannix; Ironside; Cannon; Barnaby Jones; Hawkins; and The Six Million Dollar Man.

Though he largely retired from acting in the mid-1970s to concentrate on directing, Pitlik still made a handful of widely spaced acting appearances over the next two decades. His final appearance as an actor was in an episode of Becker in 1998.

Pitlik directed episodes of 29 different TV series including Barney Miller (102 episodes, more than anyone else), Wings (27 episodes), Night Court (1 episode), Mr. Belvedere (44 episodes), Off the Rack (6 episodes), Taxi (11 episodes) and One Day at a Time (18 episodes).

Glendower State Memorial

Glendower, now known as Glendower Historic Mansion and Arboretum, is a historic Greek Revival style house located at 105 Cincinnati Avenue, U.S. Route 42, Cincinnati Avenue, in Lebanon, Ohio. It was built in 1836 by Amos Bennett for John Milton Williams, a Lebanon merchant, and named for Owain Glyndŵr (often anglicised as "Owen Glendower"). It has been called "one of the finest examples of Residential Greek Revival architecture style in the Midwest."

On November 10, 1970, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Current use
From 1944 through 2007, Glendower was operated and maintained by the Ohio Historical Society. On December 3, 2007, it was transferred to the Warren County Historical Society, which ran the site until August 2022 as a museum.

Glendower sold in the fall of 2022 to a private buyer but the sale fell through when the buyer backed out and went on sale again in January 2023, with all restrictive Governor Deed covenants that limited its use removed.

The grounds of Glendower were often used by Civil War reenactors.

Talk:Henry Mancini

Argument for inclusion
From: Tommy Parker393 <> Reply-To: Tommy Parker393 <> To: Nathan Larson <> Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2004 10:40:13 -0500 Subject: Re: Mancini

hey, they forgot to put on there that he wrote the music for 'Love Story' - that's one of his most famous works, what's the deal with these wiki people- 'Mr. Lucky', who's ever seen that?

Response
For the record, none of these biographies/discographies/filmographies list Love Story:
 * http://www.spaceagepop.com/mancini.htm
 * http://members.home.nl/mancini/Movie1.html

Further, it would appear the composer was Francis Lai: http://www.filmaffinity.com/en/film866133.html Nathanlarson32767 20:56, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Response, cont'd
Now it appears Mancini and his orchestra did PERFORM the Love Story theme, which was by Francis Lai.

See this Mancini discography: http://www.bjbear71.com/Hank/singles.html

Henry Mancini, "Love Story", RCA Victor [Brazil] EP #LCD-3172 (1971).[Extended Play record]

This Brazilian Extended Play record contains the following tracks performed by Henry Mancini and His Orchestra: 1. Theme from Love Story (Francis Lai) 2. Loss of Love - theme from Sunflower (Mancini-Merrill) 3. Theme from Borsalino (Claude Bolling) 4. Song from MASH (Johnny Mandel-Robert Altman) Nathanlarson32767 21:06, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I have to chime in here that I find it absurd to include works Mancini did not compose in his list of songs. He is primarily known as a composer, and a list of "Songs" is naturally going to imply that he wrote the work. Sure, he may have conducted them, but does that mean we include the Beethoven symphonies in a list of Leonard Bernstein compositions? If the point is that his performance of the Love Story theme was particularly famous, then it should be under a separate list of "Performances," not in one that implies he composed the piece. Just my 2-cents worth. Rizzleboffin 19:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Peanuts
I removed the Peanuts listing under selected works, because Guaraldi composed said, and this much is listed in the main body of the article. Wangoed 11:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Should the bit about Guaraldi be removed entirely? I mean -- who confuses Mancini with Guaraldi? I've never encountered that before. Is there some reference for it? --209.149.57.26 04:32, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, there is this reference at search.com but that seems to be an outdated copy of an earlier mistake here. And there are other sites that are definietly copying the error from here.  And it appears that both "The Pink Panther" and "Linus and Lucy" appear together frequently on compilation albums, which may serve to compound the confusion.  It appears that this may become a self-fulfilling prophecy over time, but I'm going to change the wording slightly, since the mistake doesn't appear "common" to me. --Geoff Capp 00:01, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Academy Award winner
Mancini won I believe 3 academy awards which hasn't been mentioned I don't think at all in the article, thus I'm just doing to include this info. --Apoc100 15:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Someone needs to add Lawrence of Arabia to attribute Mancini.

Why? Mancini didn't score "Lawrence of Arabia." Maurice Jarre did. Rich 06:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Plagiarism?
I am not quite sure why, but I viscerally sense that a good chunk of this article was plagiarized.Davemarshall70 05:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, run the bits you find suspect through Google and see if you can find where they were copied from. Every man and his dog copies stuff out of Wiki these days, so don't be surprised if you find the article passed off as original content in other sites. Try and trace the suspect bits to something that looks reasonably original, as in an official Mancini site or whatever. Vince In Milan 10:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Given that question was posted 2 1/2 years ago, those problems might have been fixed. But still worth checking. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 07:05, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

John Williams
This sentence puzzles me:

"Mancini also had an uncredited performance as a pianist in the 1967 movie Gunn, the movie version of the series Peter Gunn, the score of which was originally composed by Mancini himself."

John Williams is the pianist in the TV version. Is the TV version different from the movie version? (I'd expect it). And there is no citation for this little bit of information. Is it true? Gingermint (talk) 07:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Typo
"Mancini was born Enrico Nicola Mancini in Cleveland|Little Italy]] neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio..."

I guess someone wanted to write "...in the 'Little Italy' neighbourhood of...", but did something wrong.

Since my technical skills are virtually non-existent, could someone please clean that up?

Beverly Hills/Los Angeles, California
Seems to me that the words "Beverly Hills/Los angeles, California" has for some reason been merged into one single link. I find that rather messy. Why would anyone want to look up all these 3 places in the same article? Anyway, I am going to split the link into 3 different ones, pointing each of the names to their respective articles which already exist. Oh, and by the way, I'll correct the minor typo as I do so. --TrondBK (talk) 21:03, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Non-tonal
He experimented with advanced compositional techniques. I can't find anything online to back this up and I can't remember the pieces I've heard but I do know this for sure-for sure. Really quite interesting and uber different from what we generally know him for. That said, there is a lyricism and beauty to the music that even in the non-tonal music you can tell it is by Mancini. Gingermint (talk) 06:57, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Mancheeni or Manseeni? An IPA guide in the article, please. --Adoniscik(t, c) 19:27, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I know you won't consider this the final word, but in this video at 3:08, Julie Andrews asks Mancini, "You Henry Mancini?" to which he replies, "That's right." She says "man-see-nee." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gRFyxxCs5g And I know this is original research, but I spoke with Mancini several times in the years before his death, and he himself said "man - see - nee." 72.177.7.99 (talk) 15:52, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I always heard it pronounced as "man-SEE-nee". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 07:04, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I think it would be very useful to put the correct IPA pronunciation in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.132.141.109 (talk) 18:17, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm sure the TV series section isn't complete...
There is no mention of "Columbo" where he scored (at least) the first two seasons. There is perhaps more but I noticed this as I was watching Columbo...

Cheers! Luke —Preceding unsigned comment added by QuirkyAussie (talk • contribs) 07:46, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

 * What Mancini composed was the introductory theme for "NBC Mystery Movie" (which the article mentions), of which "Columbo" was one portion -- he wasn't one of the several men who composed for "Columbo" per se. Richard K. Carson (talk) 00:53, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Composers Class=C
Why doesn't the template for Composers show Class=C? --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:38, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it's because there is code in Template:WikiProject Composers/class which specifically causes no display when class is set to C (" |c=no"), as "B" displays without problem. It appears also that this is deliberate, as a quick scan of WP:WikiProject Composers/Assessment reveals the line "C not in active use by the project". I didn't look to see why it's not in use for composers. HTH, — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 02:09, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

opening

 * After World War II, Mancini broadened his skills in composition, counterpoint, harmony and orchestration during studies opening with the composers Ernst Krenek and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco.

What does "opening" mean here? —Tamfang (talk) 00:41, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Middle name
Although Mancini changed his first name from the Italian "Enrico" to English "Henry", there is evidence that he kept his middle name.
 * The ASCAP ACE Repository lists his composition credits under "Mancini, Henry N."
 * Universal Music Publishing Group's entry for "Peter Gunn Theme" includes "Nicola" in the composition credits.
 * A 1951 Catalog of Copyright Entries lists a copyright registration under "Henry N. Mancini".
 * Multiple sources indicate his full name is "Henry Nicola Mancini": American National Biography by Oxford University Press (incorrectly indicating his birth name was Henry not Enrico) and the Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives  (which does indicate "Born Enrico...his first name anglicized to Henry"). Arbor to SJ (talk) 17:44, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Middle initial
The use of the initial "N." cannot in any way be construed as the middle name "Nicola." The name Henry N. Mancini is only found in places where more formality was required, such as on business correspondence and legal documents, etc. The few obscure examples you list cannot supersede the overwhelming fact that his work is always credited as Henry Mancini, the name by which he is known throughout the music industry and the world.

2600:1700:3BC0:E70:D466:26D4:C5A1:979D (talk) 18:43, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
 * So the article title should and will always reflect that. According to MOS:FULLNAME:

While the article title should generally be the name by which the subject is most commonly known, the subject's full name, if known, should be given in the lead sentence (including middle names, if known, or middle initials).

 * I did not argue that the article title itself should be changed but rather the lead section simply acknowledge his middle name just like practically every other biographical article. Wikipedia guidelines allow that! Arbor to SJ (talk) 20:52, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

If it is to be changed, there should be a consensus here about it. If there isn't a consensus, the current headings and heading levels should be maintained and editors who make arbitrary changes to their own personal preferences may and should be reverted.

New primary source that contradicts previous information -- how to change?
Hello,

I have a fairly unique situation. My friend's grandmother went to high school with Mancini, and according to the yearbook, he actually graduated in 1941, whereas most news articles about him have reported him graduating in 42. I have the photographic proof of this. How would I go about making a proper change and showing this new info even as it contradicts some of the articles about him? Itsmrvance (talk) 19:42, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

 * @Skyerise Thank you for your reply, and I apologize if this is not the correct way to go about discussing edits.
 * I have uploaded the photo of Henri Mancini's senior photo to Imgur, here: https://imgur.com/a/Equ5eIq
 * Let me know if there is other information I need to supply. Curious as to what the steps would be, if any, to add this information to the page. Thanks for all that you do with working on these pages! Itsmrvance (talk) 20:13, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

There are a false information in the infobox.
In the article says that Henry Mancini musical career started in 1946, which is after the end of World War II and Glenn Miller died in 1945, before 1946. - 177.188.6.209 (talk) 19:31, 30 January 2024 (UTC).

Piccolo in infobox
Is the piccolo notable enough to be included in Mancini's infobox? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 05:31, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Lycanthropy

Therianthropy vs Lycanthropy
Since the term lycanthrope practically translates to "wolf-man", shouldn't it be more appropriate that the information about therianthropes that do not transform into wolves be moved to the page for therianthropy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.176.127 (talk) 01:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The term lycanthropy has been used quite frequently for transformations into forms other than wolves. Whether this is technically correct for the source words doesn't change the fact that it is used this way. Lots of words have current meanings that actually don't match the root words anymore. DreamGuy (talk) 17:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Werewolfs in South America
I've added in the article, that in Brazil, to belief that the seventh son will also a wolf. I would also like to state that I am Brazilian, and that I am familiar with my country's folklore, and I would like to say that there is no believe related to a human turning into a pig. That derives from a indigenous tribe belief, related to the dolphin-man tale, and is not related to the commom European - Brazilian folklore of the werewolf legend, wich appeared in Brazil during the portuguese colonization, and so, cannot be assimilated with Native Brazilan legends and beleifs. I would also like to ask, that my correction weren't erased, since it's not wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.24.51.204 (talk) 15:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Someone removed all correctins made by 201.24.51.204 but they are all correct! Before removing someone else's work you should at least verify. There is no pigman in Brazil, and the werewolf myth is not related to indigenous myths. jggouvea (talk) 21:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Definatly needs to be merged with werewolf. not only that but in no way should this be listed in the encyclopedia with the actual real life clinical definition being placed on a disambiguation page. If this page were to remain it would need to be renamed Lycanthropy (fictitous) or lycanthropy (mythology) and be on the disamb page with the real life clinical issue as the main article. Wikipedia is not a fairytale land. I was very confused how this article starts out as if its a real thing that happens. I thought this page was a joke.. and thats just silly.

The Bold Ones

The Bold Ones is the umbrella title for several television series. It was produced by Universal Television and broadcast on NBC from 1969 to 1973. It was a wheel format series, an NBC programming approach also used by that network in series such as The Name of the Game and the NBC Mystery Movie.

Segments
During the four years of the series there were four segments, three of which rotated the first two seasons; in the third the two survivors, The New Doctors and The Lawyers alternated, then The New Doctors in year four was the sole, remaining occupant under The Bold Ones' umbrella. Just as in its wheel predecessor, The Name of the Game, a season consisted of 24 originals with 8 shows filmed for each segment. However, in the debut season the police work forming the setting of The Protectors resulted in its order being reduced by two because of the new politically induced mandate by the networks to their suppliers, the studios, to curtail on-screen violence, action and danger which of course cop shows would not exist without at least some mayhem. So, The New Doctors was the beneficiary, being handed two extra episodes.

Both violence-free The New Doctors and The Lawyers segments of The Bold Ones received pick-ups for a second season while The Protectors became a sacrificial lamb of sorts to be replaced by The Senator starring Hal Holbrook. While The Senator was by far the most critically acclaimed of the four versions of The Bold Ones, NBC dumped it in favor of alternating every week The New Doctors and The Lawyers for the third season. For the final season, an abbreviated fourth, The New Doctors and its 15 episodes were the sole occupant in The Bold Ones' wheel.

Listed here are all four elements:

 * The Bold Ones: The New Doctors (1969–73) starred E.G. Marshall, David Hartman, and John Saxon (who was replaced by Robert Walden in the final season).
 * The Bold Ones: The Lawyers (1969–72) starred Burl Ives, Joseph Campanella, and James Farentino. This series was based on the TV movies The Sound of Anger and The Whole World Is Watching.
 * The Bold Ones: The Protectors (1969–70) starred Leslie Nielsen and Hari Rhodes as an often conflicting police official and district attorney. This series was based on the TV movie Deadlock.
 * The Bold Ones: The Senator (1970–71) starred Hal Holbrook. This series was based on the TV movie A Clear and Present Danger.

The New Doctors was based at the "David Craig Institute for New Medicine", named after E.G. Marshall's character Dr. David Craig. David Hartman played Dr. Paul Hunter, with John Saxon (seasons one, two and three) as Dr. Theodore Stuart, replaced in season four by Robert Walden as Dr. Martin Cohen. These stories were medical dramas. Drs. Craig and Hunter appeared in a two-part crossover story with Ironside, "Five Days in the Death of Sgt. Brown". The crossover was produced between the departure of Saxon and the casting of Walden, and featured Vic Morrow as a third main character. The story has since been edited into a feature-length Ironside story with special opening credits added for E.G. Marshall and David Hartman.

The Lawyers featured the legal firm "Nicholls, Darrell & Darrell". Burl Ives appeared as senior partner Walter Nicholls in all episodes, and Joseph Campanella was featured as Brian Darrell in almost every episode. During the course of the three seasons, James Farentino was written out of 6 episodes—two during a three-week suspension in 1969, and four in order to appear in a number of theatrical and television films between 1970 and 1972.

The Protectors was included in the format for the first season only. This segment broke new ground for television as it concentrated on legal matters but incorporated topical racial and political elements. Leslie Nielsen played conservative police officer Lt. Sam Danforth, and Hari Rhodes played liberal District Attorney Bill Washburn. These men frequently clashed politically, professionally and personally, yet had a mutual respect and reluctant admiration for each other. The episodes featured an opening narration by a fictional deadpan radio presenter named "Al Raymond".

The Senator was included during the second season as a replacement for The Protectors. Hal Holbrook played Washington Senator Hays Stowe, a tireless crusader and investigator of social and political issues on behalf of the American citizen, giving a positive spin to the political scene. Sharon Acker appeared as Erin Stowe, his wife with Cindy Eilbacher as Norma Stowe, their daughter, and Michael Tolan as the senator's chief aide, Jordan Boyle.

Like other wheel shows (The Name of The Game, The Men From Shiloh, Search, The NBC Mystery Movie etc.) The Bold Ones segments were rotated from week to week, with the main cast of every segment credited at the top of every episode until the abbreviated final season (1972-1973), when only The New Doctors remained. While its sixteen episodes were double that of its first two, full seasons when it was on every third week, 'The New Doctors' succumbed as a mid-season casualty with NBC pulling the plug January 1973. Four months later, May 4, 1973, Jane Wyman's physician-themed "Amanda Fallon" pilot, reworked from 1972, with David Hartman once again making a brief appearance as Dr. Hunter, aired as the final episode of 'The New Doctors,' although its setting is far removed from the David Craig Institute.

Like The Name of The Game, "The Bold Ones"', opening graphic originally rotated, displaying the featured cast first, followed by the other segments' casts, with accompanying narration. In the first season, the narrator announced the series' umbrella title, followed by the narration:

The New Doctors... Doctors expanding new horizons of the new medicines... The Lawyers... Lawyers defending justice in the nation's courtrooms... The Protectors... Public servants enforcing the laws of a challenging society... These are The Bold Ones.

Awards
The Lawyers was nominated for three Emmy Awards in 1972, winning one for its music and another for its direction.

The Senator, which lasted for only eight episodes, earned nine Emmy nominations in 1971, winning five, including best drama, best "continued performance" by an actor (Hal Holbrook), and three additional separate awards for outstanding achievement in writing, direction, and film editing, respectively.

Syndication
The series has been in syndication, previously paired with episodes of George Kennedy's Sarge, which was also produced by Universal.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:41, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
