Talk:Cherokee spiritual beliefs

Intention of describing the Divine

Clean-up
I can't work on this right now, but please, consult Mooney's Myths and Legends of the Cherokee if nothing else. Eek. This stuff is not necessarily correct at all and it is, of course, floating around the Internet in various forms. I've given up on ever getting rid of all the "Cherokee" crap. Now, the story involving Selu is okay. Check on the "gods" especially, otherwise. Note that all references to them seem to involve the Panthenon (sp?) site and this article in its various forms. --JNE 06:41, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Agreed. This page is poorly written, and false. Since when did the Cherokee "invade" from South America? They are an Iroquoian language speaking tribe, and thus not from South America, but North America. This is well documented. Please change this gibberish.

This does need help and besides correcting an obvious falsehood in the intro, I'm not touching it again. But in response to the previous statement, there are Cherokee oral histories about coming from South America before traveling to the NE US then south to Appalachia. -Uyvsdi (talk) 17:58, 4 October 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi

Reverted COPYVIO
I am attempting to completely revamp this page, based on my own research while an undergraduate at Furman University. It will take some time, so sorry for any messiness in the meantime. - Kanati 4 June 2007

 * Your research does not include copying whole cloth huge sections of James's Mooney's History of the Cherokee. These materials have been reverted and removed.  It's ok to use the information in the book, just don't copy it.  And do not remove the sections of the article written by actual Cherokee people referring to existing beliefs. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 16:56, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

If you would bother to look at Mooney's Myths of the Cherokee, you would have seen that I did NOT copy anything wholesale. I summarized and paraphrased the basic story elements. If it was a citation that was missing, that could've easily been added. Now you're back to a completely unorganized run-on article. - Kanati —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.190.67 (talk) 04:29, 5 September 2007 (UTC) _____________________

"The Cherokee assigned a feminine personality to the concept of the personification of spiritual evil,". Where did you get this information?!?! This is bogus. Start citing some sources fuck.

Theory
Potentially the name yowa and yaweh could be related in the sence of the middle east and the carolina were geographically close during the time of pangea they could have mutual ancestery and then the pronounciation went through the raveges of ime and seperated into there two differant types. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.12.165.254 (talk) 19:37, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

User 99.52.187.207 keeps adding pro-Christian, uncited nonsense to this page. The place for proselytizing and evangelizing is NOT a Wikipedia page about someone else's religion. In addition, theories about "Yowa" and "Yahweh" are just that...UNCITED THEORIES. They have no more place here than Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" THEORIES have on the Wikipedia page for Christianity. - BryonMorrigan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryonmorrigan (talk • contribs) 15:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Revision Summary
We propose to add another creation myth, The Story of Corn and Medicine, under the Creation Beliefs section. Andy and I will each be contributing to the actual creation myth of The Story of Corn and Medicine. In addition, we both will be embellishing on the other areas of the article by adding more information and references where they are currently lacking (a main priority for our contributions is sourcing reliable information). The Creation Beliefs section also will be organized to effectively convey the different creation myths separate from one another. MadisonWilson (talk) 14:03, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

We propose to to rework the layout of the article so that it is easier for the reader to follow the creation myths. To accomplish this we will keep the current “Creation Beliefs” heading but move the current myth under a subheading and then add the next creation belief under an additional subheading, and continue in this fashion with any other new information, to create a more organized format. A creation belief is missing from this article, The Story of Corn and Medicine, we will add a summary of the myth under the creation belief section according to the new format. The section entitled “The Great Spirit” is missing some citations and is also lacking some information, we will be providing the missing references and information. Finally, the Medicine Man is mentioned briefly in the “Evil” section, however, it is an important aspect of Cherokee culture. To address this issue we will create a new subheading under “Creation Beliefs” and supply background information. Laponsi2 (talk) 00:31, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Peer review
Informative and neutral article. I see that you posted the story that you planned to put in. You followed suggestion from previous author. There were 3 areas that said 'citation needed". Interesting article about plants taking on the role of medicine.LustyMar (talk) 02:01, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Peer Review
1.There are a few missing citations in the Great Spirit section, and in the “other venerated spirits” section. 2.The signs, visions, dream sections is very short. If you are not going to add anything to it you might be able to just move this sentence to the introduction 3. The Story of Corn and Medicine seems to be a bit long. You might be able to look it over again and take out some of the unnecessary details.

Overall you have done a great job with the article, just a little cleaning up to do! Good luck! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingsb23 (talk • contribs) 03:41, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Moving page to actual title
This article has been titled Spiritual beliefs of the Cherokee for over a year. I was about to move it but in case there are objections, of if another title is preferred and we need to discuss, I'm noting it here first. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 18:30, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, Moving. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 21:03, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Story of Corn and Medicine
In the source this is called The Three Worlds. Also see []. . Doug Weller  talk 12:45, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Large sections of unsourced text, tense issues, othering voice
The edits I made also addressed a serious problem of past-tensing living cultures. There is still an over-reliance of anthro and other non-Native sources on this article. The websites I cut were not WP:RS as they cited no sources and had some red flags in the language. I'm not sure why you want to include problematic content like that. This discussion is better here than on user talk. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 19:54, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The reason why it uses past tense is because it is based on etymological studies done in the past. Many Cherokee belong to multiple different religions and carry different spiritual beliefs now. Some still do follow the old ways. My mothers family are traditionalist but others aren't and most don't follow these beliefs any more. To leave the article as you have is dishonoring to the Cherokee ancestors because it doesn't tell the whole story of the spiritual beliefs. I've already explained the issue with what you refer to as "reliable sources". There are no "reliable sources" according to your view points. I went to sources who are reliable in regards to the subject. You don't have to source every sentence within an article, especially when the entire paragraph is about the same thought and found within the same source. And please don't throw out a bunch of wiki-isms at me. The fifth pillar of Wikipedia states that there are no firm rules. You might as well delete the entire article because it doesn't tell the reader the full story. The information that was in the article was truthful. You removed vital parts of the belief system. What is present now is not Cherokee spiritual beliefs. Nothing that I added to the article is controversial or disputed. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 20:18, 9 December 2020 (UTC) -- A Rose  Wolf  21:01, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are going to alter the article to what it is now then I kindly ask you to revert it to what it was before I edited the article from the start. I don't want my name attached to what it is now. It is so dishonoring. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 20:29, 9 December 2020 (UTC) -- A Rose Wolf  21:01, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I would also add that it isn't that the Nation doesn't want it published online, it is that they leave it up to their members to share the beliefs where ever they want. Many have published the beliefs on websites because you won't find it anywhere else. The Nation does not want to dictate beliefs from a governmental position. I think that is a praise worthy approach but is not meant to limit exposure to it. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 20:40, 9 December 2020 (UTC) -- A Rose Wolf  21:01, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you sure that is the governmental position of EBCI, CN and UKB? They really feel that way? Are you remotely familiar with Dr Richard Allen? Indigenous girl (talk) 22:59, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I want it noted that I disagree with the current wording of the article because it tells half-truths which are lies. Though I added the original content it is no longer my edits because it has been stripped of any depth and is now just a shell. I will say no more. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 21:26, 9 December 2020 (UTC) -- A Rose Wolf  21:01, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Serious over-reactions by myself that, looking at it, was due to immaturity in knowledge that I have worked to gain over the last six months. I am still learning. Therefore I have struck my comments but they remain as a reminder to myself. -- A Rose Wolf  21:01, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Gary Pallister

Gary Andrew Pallister (born 30 June 1965) is an English former professional footballer and sports television pundit. As a player he was a defender from 1984 to 2001 and is most noted for his nine-year spell at Manchester United, where he formed a formidable defensive partnership with Steve Bruce and won 15 trophies including four Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the European Cup Winners Cup.

Pallister also had several spells with Middlesbrough that yielded over 200 appearances combined over both periods, as well as briefly playing on loan with Darlington in 1985. He was capped 22 times by England between 1988 and 1996, as well as earning nine caps for the England B team.

Following his retirement, Pallister has worked in the media and has appeared as a television pundit for both BBC Sport and ITV Sport, with notable appearances on Football Focus and Final Score.

Middlesbrough
Although born in Ramsgate, Kent, Pallister grew up in Norton, County Durham and supported nearby Middlesbrough F.C. His footballing career started at non-league Billingham Town. At the age of 19 he joined his boyhood club, Middlesbrough, as a defender; he made 156 League appearances over nearly five seasons, and helped them win consecutive promotions to the Football League Second Division in 1987, and then the First Division in 1988. He moved to Manchester United on 29 August 1989 for £2.3 million.

Manchester United
Pallister's transfer broke the national record for a fee paid for a defender, as well as being the highest fee between British clubs, and the second highest fee to be paid by a British club (second only to Ian Rush's return to Liverpool from Juventus a year earlier).

Pallister had the rare achievement of representing the England national side before appearing in the top flight; in 1988 when playing in the Second Division for Middlesbrough. Later that year he helped 'Boro win their second successive promotion and reach the First Division, just two years after they almost went out of business, but was unable to keep them there and they were relegated on the final day of the 1988–89 season. As one of the highest regarded defenders in England, his days at Ayresome Park were looking numbered as soon as Boro were relegated but he did begin the 1989–90 season still at the club in the Second Division before his move to United was completed.

Although it was his excellent defensive displays that helped Manchester United to the league title along with Steve Bruce at the heart of the defence, forming one of the best central defensive partnerships in the club's history, in the 1992–93 season, he scored a memorable goal in the final home game of the season against Blackburn Rovers. Into stoppage time, with his team winning 2–1, he stepped up to drive a free-kick into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area. It was his first goal of the season and just about summed up an incredible season for Manchester United. He partnered Bruce in central defence for virtually every game until Bruce left United to join Birmingham City on a free transfer at the end of the 1995–96 season. The following campaign saw Pallister partnered with either Bruce's former understudy David May or with new signing Ronny Johnsen, and ended with United winning their fourth league title in five seasons. A highlight of this season for Pallister was scoring twice in a 3–1 win against Liverpool at Anfield.

The final season Pallister played for Manchester United was the 1997–98 season in which Manchester United came second in the league table, losing by one point to Arsenal.

During his time at Manchester United, Pallister won the FA Cup in 1990, 1994 and 1996, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1991, the Football League Cup in 1992 and Premier League titles in 1993, 1994, 1996 and 1997, amongst other honours. He was also part of the team that came second in the league in 1992, 1995 and 1998, as well as the team that finished runners-up in the League Cup in 1991 and 1994 and the FA Cup in 1995. By the time of his departure from Old Trafford after nine years, he was the only player to have collected winner's medals in all of the club's successes under Alex Ferguson's management, and second only to Brian McClair (who left United at the same time) he was the club's longest serving player.

He also scored some crucial goals for United. He scored an equaliser in extra time against Crystal Palace in the 1994–95 FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park, forcing a replay which United won and in which Pallister made the scoresheet once again. In April 1997, he scored twice against Liverpool in a match billed the "title decider" which ended in a 3–1 United win at Anfield. These would be the last two goals he scored for the club, who went on to win their fourth league title in five seasons shortly afterwards. His first goal for United had come on 12 November 1989, as he scored their only goal in the 1–0 home win over Nottingham Forest in the First Division.

Return to Middlesbrough
With Pallister now aged 33 and United having signed Jaap Stam from PSV Eindhoven, Pallister was sold back to Middlesbrough in July 1998 for £2.5 million, £200,000 more than when he first moved to Manchester United. He was brought back to Teesside by manager Bryan Robson, who had played alongside Pallister at Old Trafford until 1994. He scored once against Southampton in 55 league appearances, as well as appearing in two FA Cup matches and four League Cup matches.

His final playing season, in which Middlesbrough finished 14th in the table, was season 2000–01. He retired from playing due to a succession of injuries on 4 July 2001, at the age of 36, just three weeks after the appointment of Steve McClaren as manager following the departure of Robson.

B team
Pallister made his debut for the England B team in May 1989; he started the match against Switzerland before being replaced by Alan McLeary in the 2−0 win at Stadion Schützenwiese. He made eight more appearances over the next three years with the last coming in the 3−0 victory against France in February 1992.

Senior
Pallister made his debut for England in the friendly with Hungary in April 1988. He played the whole game in the goalless draw at Népstadion in Budapest. He had to wait over three years to make his competitive debut when he played in the win against Turkey during qualifying for UEFA Euro 1992. England qualified for the tournament finals in Sweden but Pallister was not selected in the squad. He featured in the United States Cup in June 1993; he started the defeats against the United States and Germany, and the draw against Brazil, as England finished last place in the group. Pallister played three matches as England failed to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. He was used sporadically over the next three years, mainly playing in friendlies, before making his last appearances in the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Poland in the autumn of 1996. Overall, Pallister won 22 caps and scored no goals.

Media career
He has since become a regular TV football pundit, appearing on the BBC and ITV.

Personal life
In September 2010, Pallister became an Operations Director with former club Darlington.

Michael Clarke (musician)

Michael Clarke (born Michael James Dick; June 3, 1946 – December 19, 1993) was an American musician, best known as the drummer for the 1960s rock group the Byrds from 1964 to 1967. He died in 1993, at age 47, from liver failure, a direct result of more than three decades of heavy alcohol consumption.

Early years
Clarke was born in Spokane, Washington. His father was a pipefitter and his mother was an amateur musician. Clarke left home when he was 17 years old and hitchhiked to California to become a musician. In legend, Clarke was said to have been discovered by Byrds' founder David Crosby while playing bongos on a beach. In fact he was discovered by singer-songwriter Ivan Ulz, in North Beach, San Francisco.

The Byrds
Clarke was not an accomplished musician prior to joining the Byrds but he did have previous experience of drumming in his younger years before joining the group. He had played the drums before but, after joining the Byrds, not having a drum set, practiced on a makeshift kit of cardboard boxes and a tambourine, but he did have real drum sticks. According to lead guitarist Roger McGuinn's web site, Clarke was hired by McGuinn and Gene Clark for his resemblance to Rolling Stones' guitarist Brian Jones. Clarke's strength as a drummer is considered to be illustrated by his jazz-oriented playing on the Byrds' "Eight Miles High", on the Fifth Dimension album.

Though not a prolific songwriter, unlike the other members of the Byrds, Clarke’s compositional contributions with the band encompass co-writing credits for the songs "Captain Soul", an instrumental from the Fifth Dimension album (based on Lee Dorsey's "Get Out Of My Life, Woman"), and "Artificial Energy" from The Notorious Byrd Brothers. He was also given an arrangement co-credit for two traditional songs that appeared on Fifth Dimension: "Wild Mountain Thyme" and "John Riley" (although the latter is credited to Bob Gibson and songwriter/arranger Ricky Neff on the album itself).

In August 1967, during the recording sessions for The Notorious Byrd Brothers album, Clarke walked out on the Byrds and was temporarily replaced by session drummers Jim Gordon and Hal Blaine. Clarke had recently become dissatisfied with his role in the band and didn't particularly like the new material that the songwriting members were providing. However, Clarke continued to honor his live concert commitments, appearing at a handful of shows during late August and early September 1967. Clarke returned from his self-imposed exile in time to contribute drums to the song "Artificial Energy" in early December 1967, but was subsequently fired from the band by McGuinn and bass player Chris Hillman once The Notorious Byrd Brothers album was completed.

Hiatus from music, Dillard and Clark and Flying Burrito Brothers
After a short stint in Hawaii working in the hotel business and pursuing his interest in painting, Clarke played briefly with Gene Clark in Dillard and Clark, before following Hillman and Gram Parsons to country-rock pioneers The Flying Burrito Brothers, after their first album had been recorded. Clarke served with the Burritos between early 1969 and 1972, appearing with the band at the infamous Altamont Free Concert in California, headlined by The Rolling Stones, in December 1969. During the 1974-1980 period, Clarke was a member of Firefall, followed by a period as the drummer for Jerry Jeff Walker, ending in 1982.

Byrds lawsuit controversy and Hall of Fame induction
Between 1983 and 1985, Clarke joined former Byrds' singer Gene Clark in The Firebyrds, a touring band which had been put together to promote Gene Clark's 1984 solo album Firebyrd. In 1985, following the breakup of The Firebyrds, Clarke and Clark again joined forces for a series of controversial shows billed as a "20th Anniversary Tribute to The Byrds". Among the other musicians involved in this project were John York, another ex-Byrd from the late 1960s line-up of the group, ex-Burritos and Firefall singer Rick Roberts, ex-member of The Beach Boys early 1970s line-up Blondie Chaplin, and Rick Danko, formerly of The Band. Many nightclubs simply shortened the billing to "The Byrds," and the pair soon found themselves involved in acrimonious court battles with Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and Chris Hillman over use of the group's name. The Byrds set aside their differences long enough to appear together at their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in January 1991, where the original lineup played three songs together: "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better". Gene Clark died less than five months later, of a heart attack, on May 24, 1991.

From 1987 until his death in 1993, Clarke toured as The Byrds featuring Michael Clarke. Skip Battin and John York, who had played with Roger McGuinn in later versions of the Byrds, also played at various points in The Byrds featuring Michael Clarke. Following the failure of McGuinn, Crosby and Hillman to obtain an injunction against Clarke, it was generally accepted that Clarke's continuing usage of the name was tantamount to ownership, particularly when not used by any other group member and where other group members, particularly Roger McGuinn, had repeatedly denied any interest in performing again under the Byrds name. Roger McGuinn later acknowledged that ownership of the Byrds name had likely passed to Michael Clarke's estate upon Clarke's death, but David Crosby secured the rights to the band's name in 2002.

Declining health and death
By the late 1980s, Clarke's health had declined from a lifetime of hard drinking, resulting in a number of hospital stays. He died of liver failure at the age of 47 at his Treasure Island, Florida, condominium on December 19, 1993. Billy Moore, who had organized a New Year's Eve concert at a resort where Clarke and his band were scheduled to perform, stated that at the time of his death, Clarke had recently learned that he had become terminally ill due to his liver problems.

During his final days, Clarke had expressed a wish to appear on television in the hope of alerting children to the dangers of alcoholism. Following his wishes, Clarke's girlfriend Susan Paul started a foundation in Clarke's name, called the Campaign for Alcohol-Free Kids.

In 1994, a year after his death, Clarke's paintings were published in Dick Gautier and Jim McMullan's book, Musicians As Artists.

Winston Antonio Parks Tifet known also as "Jupa de Carnicero” (born 12 October 1981) is a Costa Rican former professional footballer who played as a forward.

He played in Europe for Udinese, Ascoli, Slovan Liberec, Lokomotiv Moscow, Saturn Ramenskoye, Politehnica Timişoara and Baku.

Club career
Winston made his debut in the Costa Rican Primera División in 1999 with only in 17-year-old, playing with his hometown team Limonense and scored his first goal back on 28 November of the same year, he played this season mostly as a substitute, because he was competing at that moment against some players that succeeded during the next few years, like Kurt Bernard, Andy Herron, Rayner Robinson and Ricardo Douglas for a place in the starting line-up. The following season and after the sale of most of the players mentioned before, it was usual to see him in the starting line-up making a dangerous offensive triplet with Victor Núñez and Andy Herron.

His high internationally performances led the Italian club Udinese to purchase the player for $2.1 million from Limonense. However, due to injuries Parks was unable to earn a place in the club's first team, he was loaned for six months to Ascoli and eventually moved on to Lokomotiv Moscow, he was again loaned to Saturn Ramenskoye and then he was sold to Slovan Liberec.

After spending six years in Europe he decided to moved back to Costa Rica looking for more minutes on the field in other the get in shape and find again his game and ability. He signed with Alajuelense in summer 2007, but he has had a lot of injuries and only scored two goals in the Apertura's tournament.

Politehnica Timișoara
He returned to Europa and signed for the Romanian club in summer 2008. Parks made his debut in an away match against FC Argeş where he played just one minute. He scored his first two goals against CS Otopeni in a 2–2 draw. In an away match at Gloria Bistriţa he made his worst match of his career and was criticized by the chairman Marian Iancu and put him on transfer list.

Tomoe Gozen

Tomoe Gozen (巴 御前, ) was an onna-musha, female warrior, from the late Heian period of Japanese history. She served samurai lord Minamoto no Yoshinaka during the Genpei War and was a part of the conflict that led to the first shogunate.

Her story in the Tale of the Heike influenced several generations of samurai. Tomoe is often celebrated in books, music, poems, films, historical novels, and culture in general.

Genpei War
She commanded, under the leadership of Yoshinaka, 300 samurai against 2,000 warriors of the rival Taira clan during the war. After defeating the Taira in 1182 and driving them into the western provinces, Yoshinaka took Kyoto and desired to be the leader of the Minamoto clan. His cousin Yoritomo was prompted to crush Yoshinaka, and sent his brothers Yoshitsune and Noriyori to kill him.

Yoshinaka fought Yoritomo's forces at the Battle of Awazu on February 21, 1184, where Tomoe Gozen took at least one head of the enemy. Although Yoshinaka's troops fought bravely, they were outnumbered and overwhelmed. When Yoshinaka was defeated there, with only a few of his soldiers standing, he told Tomoe Gozen to flee because he wanted to die with his foster brother Imai no Shiro Kanehira and he said that he would be ashamed if he died with a woman.

There are varied accounts of what followed. At the Battle of Awazu in 1184, she is known for beheading Honda no Morishige of Musashi. She is also known for having killed Uchida Ieyoshi and for escaping capture by Hatakeyama Shigetada. After Tomoe Gozen beheaded the leader of the Musashi clan, she presented his head to her master Yoshinaka.

Bootylicious

"Bootylicious" is a song recorded by American group Destiny's Child for their third studio album Survivor (2001). It was written and produced by Rob Fusari, Beyoncé and Falonte Moore. The song contains a prominent sample from Stevie Nicks' song "Edge of Seventeen". It was released as the second single from Survivor on May 22, 2001, by Columbia Records.

"Bootylicious" was a commercial success, becoming the group's fourth and final US Billboard Hot 100 number-one single. It also reached the top five in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. A Rockwilder remix of the song featured Missy Elliott and appeared on the soundtrack of the 2001 musical Carmen: A Hip Hopera and the group's remix album This Is the Remix (2002).

Although the term "bootylicious" had already been used by rapper Snoop Dogg in Dr. Dre's song "Dre Day" (1992), the popularity of "Bootylicious" caused the slang word to become widespread, being added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2004 under the definition "(of a woman) sexually attractive".

Writing and production
"Bootylicious" was written and produced by Beyoncé, Rob Fusari and Falonte Moore, and was recorded at SugarHill Studios in Houston, and Sound on Sound Studios in New York City. There are conflicting stories about the song's origins. According to Knowles, she was inspired to write the song on a flight to either London or Japan as she was listening to the guitar riff of Stevie Nicks' song "Edge of Seventeen", which reminded her of a "voluptuous woman". According to Fusari, he wanted to build a track on a sample of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger". Unable to locate the song, he chose to sample "Edge of Seventeen" instead. He wanted to replay the guitar riff himself in the studio so as not to lose publishing royalties, but group manager Mathew Knowles (father of Beyoncé Knowles) would not let him do this.

Music
According to the sheet music published by EMI Music Publishing at Musicnotes.com, "Bootylicious" is a pop song set in common time with a medium funk tempo of 104 beats per minute. It is written in the key of E minor (recorded in D♯ minor), and Destiny's Child's vocals span from G3 to B5. Rowland sings the majority of the lead vocals on the track, with her leading both verses, Knowles leading choruses, and Michelle Williams leading the bridge.

Remixes
A hip hop-styled remix (the Rockwilder remix) was produced by Rockwilder, Knowles, and Missy Elliott. This version was issued to urban markets, and had a hip-hop culture-based music video to accompany it, in which Beyoncé wears a belt that has the word "Bootylicious" misspelled as "Bootyliciuos", as pointed out by Carson Daly on an episode of TRL.

A combination of the R&B vocals from this song and the grunge rock music of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is one of the best-known examples of the "bastard pop" or "mashup" genre, where elements from seemingly incompatible songs are mixed together. A later mashup used the music of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" with the "Bootylicious" vocals.

Music video
The music video for "Bootylicious", directed by Matthew Rolston and filmed from May 7–9, 2001, showed Destiny's Child performing dance steps from Michael Jackson's famous "Billie Jean" performance from the special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever. During the video, moves from several other Michael Jackson videos can be seen such as parts of the choreography from "Thriller", "Beat It", "Bad", and "The Way You Make Me Feel". Dance moves that were used by Jackson during live performances of "They Don't Care About Us" can be seen as well.

As the group is dancing, the members appear in several different costumes. These scenes are interloped with the group dancing in front of a dance troupe made of all boys. The dance sequence ends with a diamond-shaped stage where the group appears wearing pink crop-tops, while the all-male dance troupe appears shirtless, wearing Michael Jackson's signature one glove and sagging pants that showed their underwear with "Destiny" at the back. Legendary musician Stevie Nicks is featured playing the sampled riff on her guitar in the "Kelly can you handle this, Michelle can you handle this..." intro of the song. Nicks said while shooting the music video 'I got to sit there with them and hang out with them all day long ... We had a great day,' she noted. Solange Knowles, Beyoncé's sister, also makes a brief cameo in the video.

The video for "Bootylicious" began airing on BET, VH1, and MTV on the week ending May 27, 2001, with the video premiering on the latter channel's Making the Video series. The version of the song featured in the music video is slightly different from the album version, removing the synth strings and DJ scratching and percussion fills in favour of a drier mix, with the bass guitar cut out part-way through the final choruses and a fade-out of the instrumental leaving only the vocals near the end. This version was never commercially released.

The music clip is featured on the DualDisc edition of the album #1's and as an enhanced video on the UK and French editions of the single. The video for the Rockwilder remix featuring Missy Elliott is available on the "Urban Remixes" version of the UK CD single for "Emotion".

Live performances
Destiny's Child opened the inaugural BET Awards (2001) with a performance of "Bootylicious". They also performed it on both Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Special concerts, complete with their rendition of his dance moves. Before the video's premiere, the group had dedicated the video to Michael Jackson. According to Kelly Rowland, Jackson liked the song so much that when he saw them for the first time, he started to sing it and they were very surprised. On February 3, 2013, Beyoncé performed the song along with Rowland and Williams during the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show. They also performed Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".

Commercial performance
"Bootylicious" debuted at number 66 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on June 9, 2001. Nine weeks later, the song reached number one, becoming the group's fourth and final number-one single in the United States. It remained on the chart for 19 additional weeks. As of, it remains the last song by a girl group to top the Billboard Hot 100. The song also peaked at number five on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and number two on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart, behind Mariah Carey's "Loverboy".

In the United Kingdom, "Bootylicious" debuted and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, behind the Atomic Kitten's "Eternal Flame". It sold over 169,000 copies and propelled Survivor back to the top of the UK Albums Chart. Additionally, the song reached the top ten in several other countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden.

Impact and legacy
"Bootylicious" created moderate controversy due to pushing the boundaries of female sexuality. Destiny's Child was claiming "G-rated fun" and confidence in body image through the lyrics, yet the song's music video suggested much more with the group wearing heavy make-up, form-fitting clothes, performing sexually suggestive dancing, and the video featuring close-ups on several dancers' buttocks. The song popularized the portmanteau term "bootylicious", a combination of the words "booty" and "delicious", although the term had already been used by Snoop Dogg in the song "Fuck wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')" (aka "Dre Day" from Dr. Dre's 1992 album The Chronic) as a pejorative. "Bootylicious" is also mentioned by a character named Champ in the 1993 "Homey, Don't Ya Know Me?" episode of A Different World. The term was also used previously in the 1999 video game Duke Nukem: Time to Kill as the name of a strip club.

The success of the song came after the rise in media visibility of voluptuous personalities such as Jennifer Lopez. There was a media perception that the appearance of these women corresponded to an appreciation of the supposedly neglected larger hips and thighs common in the figures of black and Latina women. The approving neologism "bootylicious" has entered the mainstream English language as part of the crossover of African-American popular culture, fashion, and sexual politics. In September 2011, VH1 ranked "Bootylicious" at number 19 on its list "The 100 Greatest Songs of the 2000s". Rowland has mentioned that "Bootylicious" is the most irritating Destiny's Child song to her since she has heard it too many times.

An audio recording is available on Radio 1's Live Lounge – Volume 2. The cast of the Fox television show Glee performed a cover version in the episode "Hairography". The Green Bay Packers covered the song in Pitch Perfect 2.

Use in commercials
"Bootylicious" was used in a commercial for the video game Candy Crush Jelly Saga in 2016.

In other media
It appeared on the season 11 finale of drag queen reality competition RuPaul's Drag Race, where contestants Brooke Lynn Hytes and Silky Nutmeg Ganache had to lipsync to it in order to advance to the final round. American singer Normani used the song in her performance on the reality competition show Lip Sync Battle, which aired on February 1, 2018. Her set was reminiscent of the song's music video, and at some point, one of the back-up dancers "trips" in front of Normani, a callback to Michelle William's infamous fall during a performance of the group on 106 & Park in 2004.

The song appeared in Disney and Pixar's 2022 animated film Turning Red.

Talk:List of battleships of Russia and the Soviet Union

[Untitled]
this page combines the didferent types. there are more of each type however and this list will get quite long.

 * I've merged in the Steam Battleships and Dreadnought Battleships - there were some discrepancies, but I believe these were mostly due to transliteration issues. Would be worth checking against a reliable source, though. Shimgray | talk | 17:56, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

For clarification, I propose to rename this article "List of ships of the Russian Empire". The major discontinuity between Russia then and Russia now, would necesitate this I should think.Crocodilicus 04:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Is this "just" a list article?
Hi Wikipedians, To me this is a useful list, however it seems that there is too much information for this type of article. I propose removing most of the text (eg: history) as it should be already in each ship/class article; and give tabular format to this list. Columns might be something like: name of ship (with interwiki to article), class (with interwiki to article), years of service, key characteristics (length, beam, displacement, main and secondary armament), fate, comments. Maybe some "good" naval list article could be used as benchmark? Feedback on this proposal will be very much appreciated. Regards, DPdH (talk) 08:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry I couldn't get to you earlier. I was out of country at the time of the post. I believe that it has been established that lists should have history, as per List of battlecruisers of the Royal Navy, List of battleships of Germany and List of battlecruisers of Germany, to name a few. Hope this helps. Buggie111 (talk) 16:08, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response, I was unaware of this guideline or agreement. Is it exclusive to the "Battleships Portal" list articles, or applicable to wikipedia lists in general? Where is this guideline documented? Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 15:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe it should only be a short summary of the class history – not each individual ship. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 16:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Wikipedia OmniMusica

Wikipedia OmniMusica is a project to assemble the world's most complete music encyclopedia. We should aim for a multi-volume set as an ultimate goal. Intermediate goals could be the creation of installments (e.g. OmniMusica: Heavy Metal).

We need to identify the articles which must be a part of this set, and set minimum standards for referencing, etc. We should identify a percentage of entries which must be up to featured status. We should tag articles in the list to tell which ones would go in which installment of the OmniMusica. We may also want to think about putting lists, timelines and other stuff in an appendix.

Goals
In line with the half-decent articles proposal, we should establish a method of tagging articles as being "half-decent". The exact criteria should be worked out with consensus, but might include a reasonable degree of comprehensivity, sourcing, clarity and style. We should link to a precise revision of the article in some fashion.

Tags
- Template:Omnimusica announces that an article has been accepted as "half-decent" or better and a particular revision is slated for inclusion in the Wikipedia OmniMusica.

- Template:Omnimusica-can announces that a particular revision of an article is a candidate for being in the OmniMusica.

- Template:Omnimusica-comprehensive announces that an article has been considered for OmniMusica but that it is not reasonably comprehensive.

- Template:Omnimusica-referencing announces that an article has been considered for OmniMusica but that it is not reasonably referenced.

- Template:Omnimusica-neutrality announces that an article has been considered for OmniMusica but that it is not reasonably adhering to neutral point-of-view.

- Template:Omnimusica-style announces that an article has been considered for OmniMusica but that it is not adhering to the Manual of Style or suffers from incoherence, poor structure or other stylistic errors.

Miguel Ángel Suárez

Miguel Ángel Suárez (July 5, 1939 – April 1, 2009) was a Puerto Rican soap opera and movie actor.

Early years
Suárez and his sister were born into a middle-class family and raised in the Santurce section of San Juan, Puerto Rico. His father worked at a local supermarket and his mother was a housewife. When Suárez was a child, he went with his mother to see a play. This was his first experience with the theater and Suárez was so impressed that after the curtains rose and the actors did their show, he knew that he wanted to become an actor. Suárez went to school and received his primary and secondary education in his hometown. When Suárez and his sister returned from school, their mother would read stories or prepare little plays which helped to develop their imagination.

The supermarket where the elder Suárez worked was located next to the radio station Radio El Mundo. Manuel Méndez Ballester, a well-known playwright, who worked as a writer for the radio station, frequently visited the supermarket and Suárez's father soon became friends with Ballester. In 1947, Ballester told the elder Suárez that he was in need of an 8-year-old for the protagonist role in a play that he wrote because the person he had in mind didn't pass the audition. When the elder Suárez realized that the "part" paid more than what he was making working in the supermarket, he took his son to the auditions and this was the beginning of Suárez's acting career. In 1956, when Suárez was 17 years old, he enlisted in the United States Navy and was assigned to the submarine division.

Television
When Suárez was discharged from the Navy, he returned to Puerto Rico, where he began doing theater work and later starred as Rev. Sullivan in Las Almas No Tienen Color (1969), the first soap opera produced by Tommy Muniz for WAPA-TV. In 1972, he was cast in El Hijo De Angela María, which was so successful that was soon made into a movie. Afterward the artistic class in the island went through a crisis, and because he was unable to get an acting job, Suarez went to Argentina, where he was given a role in the soap opera Amor Gitano (Gypsy Love). He later went to Venezuela, where he participated in the soap operas Corazon de Diamante (Heart of Diamonds) and Laura Benson. In Puerto Rico, he participated in many locally produced soap operas, such as Vivir Para Ti (I Live for You). In 1994, he was cast in Señora Tentacion (Mrs. Temptation) with Mexican movie star Lucía Méndez. This soap opera was a hit in the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Europe.

Film
In 1971, Suárez was cast in the locally produced Woody Allen movie Bananas with Jacobo Morales. In 1980, he played an inmate in the TV movie Escape, partially filmed in Puerto Rico, with Timothy Bottoms and Colleen Dewhurst. He then went to Hollywood, and in 1980, landed a role in the movie Stir Crazy, directed by Sidney Poitier starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. He was sometimes credited under the names Miguelángel Suárez and Miguel Suárez.

Talk:Virginia State Route 267

End of Toll
When the toll road was originally built, I thought that it was supposed to stop being a toll road by a certain date and that they changed (or permanently ended) that deadline when they decided to build the silver line. Does anyone know that deadline? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.96.146 (talk) 02:50, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Untitled
While I'd like to thank VTHawkeye for adding a lot of information to the Dulles Toll Road page, I think some of the information provided is inaccurate, or at least can be confusing. In the second paragraph, in discussing the history of the Dulles Toll and Access Roads, one can get the impression that they were built together at the same time. This is not the case. The Dulles Access Road, which was built by the MWAA solely to get people to and from the airport, opened with the airport in 1964. It only allowed travel to and from the airport. There were no exit ramps from the road going westbound -- just entrance ramps, and there were no entrance ramps going eastbound. It wasn't until the 1980s did the parallel road built by VDoT for the communities of Reston and Herndon open. This is the outer road that is the Dulles Toll Road, which would now allow drivers to enter and exit at intermediate points. So for 15-20 years the road was useless for commuter travel.

According to, the Toll Road opened in 1984. Dbenbenn 01:30, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The airport opened in 1962, not 64. confirms that the first 13.5 miles of the Access Road opened at the same time; the last 2.5 connecting to I-66 weren't built until 1983. Dbenbenn 01:55, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the fixes -- after I made my additions, I did some more research, and just hadn't come back to fix my errors yet. VT hawkeye 05:46, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Three Dulles roads and VA 267
What do people think of merging this with Dulles Greenway and renaming it to Virginia State Highway 267, with the others redirecting? As it currently stands, VA 267 redirects here, but the Greenway is also 267, and so 267 should properly be a very short page saying that it consists of these two roads. That seems rather poor to me. An alternate solution might be keeping it as-is but adding a link to Dulles Greenway to the top of this page, saying it's also part of 267. --SPUI 02:22, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Is the access road also called 267? I don't know, but I don't think so.  It was built by the FAA, not VDOT.  Dbenbenn 03:03, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * The access road is not, but the toll road is. Those are already in the same article, despite the article being named Dulles Toll Road. And it seems stupid to split those two, being hopelessly intermingled. Maybe Dulles highway corridor or something equally invented but descriptive?--SPUI 03:46, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Virginia State Highway 267 seems fine; certainly better than making up a term. And it fits with the highway names for other states.  Dbenbenn 02:50, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * It should be noted that the Greenway is also not technically 267, since it's a privately-owned road; the 267 numbering and signage from IAD to Leesburg is a courtesy designation only. But for the naming of a combined article, I think it's better than something contrived. VT hawkeye 05:46, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Eh, are you sure about that? Is there a law that says that a privately-owned road can't be numbered? Why should it be any different from another public agency or semi-public authority owning a road that's signed as a state road? --SPUI 07:41, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * The third-to-last paragraph of seems to indicate that only the toll road is technically VA 267.  Dbenbenn 02:32, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * According to the 2003 Virginia Route Index it describes 267 as running "From Routes 7/15 in Leesburg to Route I-66 north of Falls Church, including the parallel lanes along the Dulles International Airport Access Road." -- SterlingNorth 13:23, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The Dulles Greenway is VA 267 because the exit numbering that is apparent on the Toll Road continues into the Greenway. --76.111.67.200 (talk) 18:37, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

VA267, much like many (most) route #s are assemblies of locally named roads. It is interesting, but not contradictory, that not all of the parallel roads of VA267 (from US66 to Leesburg) go to the same places or charge tolls. In my experience, Dulles Access, Dulles Toll, and Dulles Greenway, are rarely called Rt 267. I would like to see more detailed useful travel info about the various intersections & tolls.  . What is the toll and congestion pattern of the ramp lane from Spring Hill Rd (#10) to US495(S)? Wikidity (talk) 22:24, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Potential Privatization of the Dulles Toll Road
I wonder if anybody reads the talk pages, but anyway, with today's news that Macquarie -- having just bought majority of the rights to the Greenway -- has entered with the consortium that wants to buy the Dulles Toll Road, should we start adding that breaking news to the VA 267 article? I know, I could do that myself, but I don't trust my writing abilities to start adding new sections or articles to Wikipedia. -- SterlingNorth 00:42, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Be bold. Just make sure you source everything. Simultaneous movement (talk) 19:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Pre-DTR legal backtracking stickers?
Can anyone provide a reference for this? The supplied link says nothing whatsoever about these stickers, so I've removed it and put in a citeneeded template.  VT hawkeye talk to me 01:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I added a link in which someone commented on memories of "orange Dulles Access Road stickers" which is what I remember from those days. Suldrew 20:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Access Road issue
The eastern terminus of VA 267 is not at I-66. Sure, that's where eastbound Dulles Airport Access Road ends, but not VA 267. The Access Road is not VA 267, but only the Toll Road is. That's the reason for the Access Road being signed only as 'TO I-495' out of Dulles International Airport and 'TO I-495 NORTH, Baltimore' from I-66. Also, many of the one-way roads that feed eastbound Access Road drivers to the Toll Road have signs that say 'TO EXIT XX', because the exit is not that of the Access Road, it is of the Toll Road. Also, westbound on the Access Road just before Exit 19, there are many signs that tell you to 'USE 267 WEST', such as signs for the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. So I suggest changing the east end of VA 267 to the 'Dulles Airport Access Road' because the Toll Road does merge into the Access Road east of Exit 19. 76.111.67.200 (talk) 18:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand what you're talking about. The airport doesn't matter because 267 goes West of there along the Greenway.  But from I-66, there's one standalone sign that says "TO VA 267".  However, BGSs (Big Green Signs) that say "TO 495 NORTH" are not always correct.  We go by what the official documents say, and as far as the Commonwealth is concerned, the Virginia Route Index says that I-66 is the eastern terminus.  The access road exits, with the exception of the VA 7 exit, are exits to VA 267.  But to address the final point, the Route Index says so, so it stays.  -- M PD T / C 05:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Alright. 76.111.67.200 (talk) 03:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, MPD's cited source – Virginia DOT's "Designated Interstate and Primary Route Numbers, Named Highways, Named Bridges and Designated Virginia Byways" (the actual title), dated 1 July 2003, page 24 – is ambiguous on the subject. It says the following:
 * 267 - STATE ROUTE: From Routes 7/15 in Leesburg to Route I-66 north of Falls Church, including the parallel lanes along the Dulles International Airport Access Road.
 * It's clear that the Dulles Greenway is part of 267 because that's the sole road on the stretch from Leesburg to Dulles Airport/Rt. 28. It's also clear that the Dulles Access Road from I-495 to I-66 is part of 267 for the same reason. But of the stretch between them, there are two roads, and the only one mentioned is "the parallel lanes along the Dulles International Airport Access Road", which is the exact description of the Dulles Toll Road, exclusive of the Dulles Access Road. It doesn't specifically say anything about the Access Road itself. (Using the word "including" before "the parallel lanes" implies "in addition to something else", but the "something else" could be "the Dulles Toll Road", or it could be "the Greenway and the Access Road to the Beltway".) Of course, it's arguable that the inclusion of the Access Road segment from I-66 implies the entire Access Road, but there are several simple ways that they don't use to make this clear without assuming an implication. Also, another cited source from the article – Virginia Highway Index's "VA 800 to 90005", retrieved 13 April 2009 – suggests that the Virginia Highway Patrol uses "VA-90004" to distinguish the Access Road from the Toll Road (VA-267) when ticketing access-road violators.
 * It seems to me that this situation is not decisively resolved yet. Considering how sloppy we area residents can be about the distinctions, and the complexity of the connections for visitors (some of whom will read this article for clarification), I think I'll see if I can dig up more references from the local transportation authorities. Meanwhile, I'm going to tweak some of the material to incorporate what I've found so far. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll buy that. I remember reading somewhere (probably here on Wikipedia) that the Access Road was a 90000-level route.  The question over the termini of 267 is solved.  Essentially, the only thing we need to figure out is the wording for the Access Road regarding the fact that it's not technically 267.  Including it in this article makes life a lot easier though, as separating it would be unnecessary since it's pretty much the same road (and used to be 267, I believe).  So yeah, anything you can find to bone up the VA 90004 fact is great. -- M PD T / C 23:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

See the screenshots below taken from the interactive maps available at the Virginia Department of Transportation website http://www.virginiadot.org/travel/prOTIM.asp.

It is clear from the VA DOT website maps that (from east to west):
 * VA SR-267 begins at I-66 (in Fairfax County just north of the City of Falls Church) and ends at US-15 (in the City of Leesburg)
 * VA SR-90004 begins as a split from VA SR-267 just east of VA SR-123 and ends at Dulles Airport

If you go to the VA DOT website and use the "Identity Feature" toolbar button, you can see that
 * The section of VA SR-267 from I-66 to the VA SR-90004 split has the street name "Dulles Airport Access Road"
 * The entirety of VA SR-90004 has the street name "Dulles Airport Access Road"
 * The section of VA SR-267 from the VA SR-90004 split to VA SR-28 has the street name "Dulles Toll Road"
 * The section of VA SR-267 from VA SR-28 to US-15 has the street name "Dulles Greenway"

So some work is needed on this article to reflect the above facts. hulmem (talk) 05:59, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

The "median strip" of the "toll road" ?
The last paragraph under Dulles Toll Road states:

On March 27, 2006, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority took over from Virginia the operation of the Dulles Toll Road, including the outstanding debt and the obligation to construct a rapid mass transit line in the median strip of the toll road.[7]

... but the MWAA reference cited makes no mention of a median strip of the toll road. And, quite correctly, it shouldn't; there is no median strip of the Toll Road. The road that has a median strip is the Access Road. The point of all of this is that if you're going to reference official documents, such as an MWAA press release, do so accurately. The whole distinction between what is 267, the Access Road, the Toll Road, and the Greenway is confusing enough without WP contributors, even those with good intentions, getting in here and mucking things up. Use your brains, kids. --abl (talk) 16:45, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Dulles Greenway, a 'success story' ?
The third paragraph under Dulles Greenway contains the sentence:

The road was completed and opened in 1995 and is often cited as a success story of public-private partnership.[citation needed]

As a civil engineer, I have read a lot of articles on civil engineering projects in general, and the Greenway in particular, but I have never read any objective article on the Greenway citing it as any kind of success story. I found it interesting to read the words of Paul Burka, the senior executive editor of Texas Monthly magazine, who wrote about the Greenway in a piece about the use of pension funds to invest in toll roads, which is probably not a wise idea anywhere. In 2008, Burka wrote:

The Dulles Greenway toll road to Washington’s Dulles Airport defaulted on its bonds within a year of its opening in 1995. The private owner, Toll Road Investors Partnership II, have lost money every year since the road opened. When toll roads lose money, tolls go up–in this case, to $4.80 by 2012. That works out to an astronomical 35 cents per mile. There are similar stories in Orange County, California (where the state had to buy failing toll lanes), and along Florida’s west coast, and near Richmond, Virginia, where the 8.8-mile Pocohantas Parkway, financed with tax-free bonds, has suffered around a 50% shortfall in projected toll receipts; the state has had to maintain the road because the private owners don’t have the money.

So just exactly where are the citations of the Greenway being a 'success story?' --abl (talk) 17:35, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Good point. That line has been there as long as I can remember.  I've never really thought about it.  In my opinion, the "Success story" is a public-private partnership that got something done that ultimately benefited the population- a road that IMO was needed.  There are frequently times when I'm SO glad it's open.  Of course, nobody likes high tolls but faced with an extra half hour on the surface streets, it's a success story.  Economically, it's clearly not a success ("yet", but who knows).  So in the end, that part of the line should not be there because it's OR and ambiguous.  -- M PD T / C 19:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Routes 7 and 28 'more congested' ?
The sentence that states:

Alternate (free) routes include State Route 7 and State Route 28, both of which are generally more congested.[10]

... references a Washington Post article that does state that Routes 7 and 28 are alternative routes but does not state that 7 and 28 are "generally more congested." They may be, but that's not what is stated by the Post. Therefore, this sentence needs to be revised since it offers someone's opinion about 7 and 28 being more congested, but the cited reference doesn't say that, and the OP did not offer any empirical evidence or data to support the claim that 7 and 28 are "generally more congested." Let's try to get this article to state the facts as objectively as possible, okay?

Besides, a point that's usually missed is that the congestion on Routes 7 and 28, when used together as an alternate to the Greenway, is caused in part by the Greenway itself and its higher cost (due to tolling) relative to the Routes 7-28 alternative. At $4.00 per one-way toll, if driven twice a day, five days per week, for 50 weeks per year, the non-discounted Greenway tolls add up to $2,000 per year. Stated another way, the Routes 7-28 alternative between Dulles Airport and Leesburg offers drivers a $2,000 annual  savings per driver as compared to using the Greenway. Therefore, it should surprise no one that Routes 7 and 28 are congested. Anyone who doesn't have an extra $2,000 to spend on Greenway tolls has little choice but to take Routes 7 and 28.--abl (talk) 14:45, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

 * The article does state "Since the road opened in 1995 as a luxury alternative to routes 7 and 28, Loudoun's population has nearly tripled, making the stop-and-go traffic on the free roads unbearable for many and making the Greenway no longer a mere luxury, but a fact of life.". I read unbearable "Stop-and-go" traffic as congestion.  You also suggest that the statement is accurate, because if there is an increase in population along those routes resulting in stop-and-go traffic (according to the post), and the tolls on the Greenway are so high that people will avoid paying them, then traffic on the alternate (free) routes will generally be more congested.
 * But how could we improve that sentence? Could we specify that 7 and 28 are "generally more congested" during rush hour, but not all the time (which could be how it's read)?  There's no cause-and-effect listed, so we'd need a source that the high tolls will cause more congestion on 7 and 28.  Would it also be worth mentioning that within a year there will be no lights on 28 between the Greenway and Route 7, and within a few more years there will be maybe five or six lights on Route 7 between 28 and the Greenway (three between Battlefield and 28- Belmont Ridge, Lexington (maybe), and Geo Washington)?  Those efforts are geared toward reducing congestion on the alternate routes.  What do you think because I'm open to ideas.  I feel it is worth mentioning that Routes 28 and 7 are more congested during rush hour and et cetera. -- M PD T / C 18:24, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I think we're in agreement that Routes 7 and 28 are congested, certainly during rush hours in the peak direction, and approaching congested levels (at some quantifiable level) at other times. I suggest that we try to get our hands on some reports (if there are any available) that contain some real traffic-count data for Routes 7, 28, the Greenway, etc. Perhaps VDOT has something we can use and analyze; maybe Loudoun County is another source. The Washington Post article that was cited talks about congestion in somewhat-vague terms and mentions the free roads being "unbearable," which is, of course, the author's opinion... and those are two reasons to opt for real data if we can find them.
 * Your suggestion about mentioning the Route 28 Corridor Improvements is a good one, but it would need to be a separate article if it isn't logically tied to this one. (The stated objective of the Route 28 project is to seek "transportation improvements," not alleviating congestion caused by spillover traffic from the Greenway to Routes 7 and 28 or price inequities between the Greenway and Routes 7 and 28.) And without comparative traffic data, it will be difficult to tie the two together. --abl (talk) 14:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I know nothing of Virginia or the Greenway, or if it's less congested than the freeways, but: Opportunity Cost. It seems that there shouldn't be any confusion over why some people may be willing to spend money for a shorter commute. Jordalus (talk) 06:58, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Separation of Toll Road and Access Road
This article should have a photo that shows the separation of the Dulles Toll Road from the Dulles Airport Access Road. Preferably this would be from an overpass over the highway, showing both roadways in either direction, or an aerial photo showing the same. File:Route267vausawiehle.jpeg, which is currently used in the article, shows only the westbound side of the Toll Road; the westbound side of the Access Road is cropped off (to the left of the jersey wall in the lower corner of the photo). Can someone who lives in the Northern Virginia area and/or frequently drives on VA-267 please take such a photo and add it to the article? Thanks. Tckma (talk) 18:33, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

reference from Atlantia_(company) page
Hi, I arrived on this page through an link on the WP page Atlantia_(company), it mentions 'Another subsidiary of Atlantia, Autostrade of Virginia, is a member of the consortium that operates the Dulles Greenway' but on this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_State_Route_267#Dulles_Greenway 'Toll Road Investors Partnership II (TRIP II)' consisting of the Bryant/Crane Family LLC, the Franklin L. Haney Co.,[20] and Kellogg Brown & Root (KB&R)is mentioned as the owner, which in 2005 was acquired by Australian firm Macquarie Infrastructure Group. So, no mention of the Autostrade of Virginia subsidiary of Atlantia. To me, newbie, sharp eye, no encyclopedian, this seems an inconsistency. And since I'm not from Virginia, not even US of A, or Italy, I don't know what to do about it. Anybody ideas? Doggy daddy (talk) 14:27, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Monoco

Monoco (died 1676) was a 17th-century Nashaway sachem (chief), known among the New England Puritans as One-eyed John.

After decades of peaceful coexistence, tensions arose between settlers and natives. The Nashaway attacked the neighboring English settlement in the Lancaster raid of Lancaster, Massachusetts, in August 1675 and again in February 1678 as part of the more general native-settler conflict known as King Philip's War. During the latter action, Monoco kidnapped a villager, Mary Rowlandson, and took her and her children with him and his party for many weeks. Rowlandson later wrote and published what became a best-selling narrative about her captivity with the Indians and release, A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson.

On March 13, 1676, Monoco raided Groton, Massachusetts. He took control of a garrison house in the center of town and proceeded to parley with a Captain James Parker, threatening to burn "Chelmsford, Concord, Watertown, Cambridge, Charlestown, Roxbury, Boston, adding at last in his dialect: "What me will - me do." He then burned the town to the ground, forcing its inhabitants to flee to Concord.

In September 1676 Monoco was captured in Dover, New Hampshire and executed on the Boston Common in Boston, Massachusetts when his associate Tantamous' son, Peter Jethro intentionally (or unintentionally) turned in his fellow Native Americans to be executed and enslaved through negotiations with Richard Waldron.

Talk:Faraz Rabbani

I DISAGREE: Rabbani is a recognized scholar of Islam, working with a recognized site (www.SunniPath.com) and published with a number of leading magazines (Q-News, Islamica), and with a number of published books.

 * Keep. I disagree with the above opinions. Sidi Faraz Rabbani is a notable modern-day researcher of Islamic law, translator of several reknowned Arabic texts to English, and has even been mentioned by the BBC and other noted organizations. If the BBC recognizes Rabbani as significant, I would like to believe that Wikipedia would too, in order for it become a comprehensive encyclopaedia catering to all tastes, beliefs and creeds. I will now edit the Wikipedia reference to Sidi Faraz Rabbani, in order for the addition to be in a more organized and encyclopaedic manner. Xaxerian 20:46 PM, 17 Dec 2004

On 21 Mar 2005, this article was again nominated for deletion. The result was keep. See Votes for deletion/Faraz Rabbani for a record of the discussion. —Korath (Talk) 00:49, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

I disagree. Rabbani is a known scholar of Deobandi Islam and an integral part of Sunnipath.com. It's not comparable to "my friend John" analogy.

Sidi Faraz Rabbani is one of the most well-known scholars in the west. He has translated and written works on Islamic Law and spirituality. He also has one of the most well known Islamic Online schools in the world. A definite keep.

Sidi Faraz is a contemporary Islamic scholar of Traditional Islamic beliefs. He also succesfully implemented online Islamic courses and is taking it to great heights. A definate keep.

Minor Removal
I removed the word "interesting" from the line about running an "active -- (formerly 'and interesting') -- blog" ... it's not an encyclopedia's job to name what is and is not interesting, and I believe that simple removal does a lot to make this page less like a personal advertisement.

=Shocking= It is shocking beyond belief that people actually discussed deleting this entry at any point in time, Shayk Faraz is one of most important up and coming Islamic Scholars and his website Sunni Path is very popular in Muslims around the world, not only that he is a student of some of the best and most widely recognized Islamic scholors in Shayk Nuh Keller and Mufti Taqi Usmani.

Post-metallocene catalyst

A post-metallocene catalyst is a kind of catalyst for the polymerization of olefins, i.e., the industrial production of some of the most common plastics. "Post-metallocene" refers to a class of homogeneous catalysts that are not metallocenes. This area has attracted much attention because the market for polyethylene, polypropylene, and related copolymers is large. There is a corresponding intense market for new processes as indicated by the fact that, in the US alone, 50,000 patents were issued between 1991-2007 on polyethylene and polypropylene.

Many methods exist to polymerize alkenes, including the traditional routes using Philips catalyst and traditional heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which still are used to produce the bulk of polyethylene.

Catalysts based on early transition metals
Homogeneous metallocene catalysts, e.g., derived from or related to zirconocene dichloride introduced a level of microstructural control that was unavailable with heterogeneous systems. Metallocene catalysts are homogeneous single-site systems, implying that a uniform catalyst is present in the solution. In contrast, commercially important Ziegler-Natta heterogeneous catalysts contain a distribution of catalytic sites. The catalytic properties of single-site catalysts can be controlled by modification of the ligand. Initially ligand modifications focused on various cyclopentadienyl derivatives, but great diversity was uncovered through high throughput screening. These post-metallocene catalysts employ a range of chelating ligands, often including pyridine and amido (R2N−). These ligands are available in great diversity with respect to their steric and electronic properties. Such postmetallocene catalysts enabled the introduction of Chain shuttling polymerization.

Catalysts based on late transition metals
The copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers has been heavily studied. The high oxophilicity of the early metals precluded their use in this application.

Efforts to copolymerize polar comonomers led to catalysts based upon nickel and palladium, inspired by the success of the Shell Higher Olefin Process. Typical post-metallocene catalysts feature bulky, neutral, alpha-diimine ligands. DuPont commercialized the Versipol olefin polymerization system. Eastman commercialized the related Gavilan technology. These complexes catalyze the homopolymerize ethylene to a variety of structures that range from high density polyethylene through hydrocarbon plastomers and elastomers by a mechanism referred to as “chain-walking”. By modifying the bulk of the alpha-diimine, the product distribution of these systems can be 'tuned' to consist of hydrocarbon oils (alpha-olefins), similar to those produced by more tradition nickel(II) oligo/polymerization catalysts. As opposed to metallocenes, they can also randomly copolymerize ethylene with polar comonomers such as methyl acrylate.

A second class of catalysts feature mono-anionic bidentate ligands related to salen ligands. and DuPont.

The concept of bulky bis-imine ligands was extended to iron complexes Representative catalysts feature diiminopyridine ligands. These catalysts are highly active but do not promote chain walking. The give very linear high-density polyethylene when bulky and when the steric bulk is removed, they are very active for ethylene oligomerization to linear alpha-olefins.

A salicylimine catalyst system based on zirconium exhibits high activity for ethylene polymerization. The catalysts can also produce some novel polypropylene structures. Despite intensive efforts, few catalysts have been successfully commercialized for the copolymerization of polar monomers.

User:Vague Rant/The Goofy Guy with a Stick Show

The Goofy Guy with a Stick Show was one of the forerunners in Australian comedy television. It featured Bert Sampson as the nominal "Goofy Guy", along with his family, who themselves came to be known as "the Guys". Sampson's signature sketch was to pretend that the stick he carried around with him for emotional support was in fact alive, and at times, it would violently attack him, until one of his family arrived to save him.

While the series only ran for a single season, it was eventually removed from Nine Network's lineup. However, over the years, it has become a cult classic, and with the release of the entire series on DVD, with commentary by Bert Sampson, interests have flared once again. The original stick has been enshrined in the Australian Celebrity Hall of Fame.
