Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Finkelstein's Law

Finkelstein's Law was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was DELETE

Original reserach, but mostly patent nonsense. User Nfa has a dupe of this article as his User page. After he created this page, I put it up for speedy. Then two sock puppets joined in, Krudgdm and 69.165.95.35. I'm not totally sure, but the article seems like it should be moved to Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. --Viriditas | Talk 02:28, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Boy, we could have a nice discussion whether your forum deserves a place on Wikipedia (for the time being I say no, but I am willing to change my mind on that), but an article on one aspect of it? Where's that delete button? O shit, I'm not a sysop any more... - Andre Engels 03:03, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm not a sock puppet, but I agree that the article needs to be deleted. Someone in the Geocaching forums referenced Godwin's law in a flaming hot thread, then NFA apparently thought it would be funny to create this article. I agree that it's funny, in context, but not appropriate for Wikipedia. krugdm 04:21, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. He says, "If posted in an off-topic forum, the original post on Finkelstein's Law will be ignored by TPTB." Wrong, it's not being ignored.  It's being VfD'ed.  P Ingerson 07:55, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Doug Rhodes

Doug Rhodes (born May 28, 1945) is an American multi-instrumentalist who performed with 1960s rock bands the Music Machine and the Millennium.

Growing up in Garden Grove, California, Rhodes began his music career as a jazz saxophonist at the age of 16, playing with older brother Robbie Rhodes. Eventually, he became the member of a band called The Spats, for whom he played organ. He was kicked out of the band late in 1965. After moving to L.A. in January 1966, Rhodes met producer Curt Boettcher, who got him work as a studio musician. He played celeste for the Association's No. 1 hit "Cherish".

In the summer of 1966, Rhodes joined the rock band the Music Machine, for whom he primarily played the organ and provided backing vocals. After the release of the band's first LP, (Turn On) The Music Machine, and a promotional tour, four of the five members, including Rhodes, quit the group, leaving only singer/songwriter Sean Bonniwell. According to Rhodes, there was conflict over money and Bonniwell's attitude toward the other members. Bonniwell continued to use the band name and released a second album mostly of older recordings on which Rhodes had performed.

Rhodes continued to work with Curt Boettcher, forming the band the Millennium along with two other former Music Machine members. The Millennium's debut LP was released by Columbia Records in 1968. After the short-lived Millennium dissolved, Rhodes kept busy as a session musician, playing for the likes of the Association, Taj Mahal, Chad and Jeremy, Tommy Roe, and Van Dyke Parks. He was also involved in the Millennium-splintered group Bigshot, which was signed to Together records, the label set-up by Gary Usher and Boettcher in 1969. The others members of Bigshot included drummer Ron Edgar, guitarist Michael Fennelly, and ex-Goldebriars guitarist Murray Planta. Some demos were recorded but never issued. The producer of those sessions was Joey Stec.

In 1971, Rhodes moved to British Columbia, Canada. He continued to play around with various musicians, including Valdy. Eventually, he settled in Victoria, B.C., became a professional at piano tuning and restoration, as well as playing 1920s style jazz with an orchestra called The Belevedere Broadcasters. He has a son, Davis Lamar Rhodes, and a daughter, Sasha Marie Rhodes. he plays with the Yiddish Columbia State Orchestra, a Klezmer band, led by Marion Siegel.

Sidney Smith (Royal Navy officer)

Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith (21 June 1764 – 26 May 1840) was a British naval and intelligence officer. Serving in the American and French revolutionary wars and Napoleonic Wars, he rose to the rank of Admiral.

Smith was known for his outspoken character and penchant for acting on his own initiative, which caused a great deal of friction with many of his superiors and colleagues. His military skill, personal intelligence and enterprise led to his involvement in a variety of tasks which involved warfare, diplomacy and espionage. He became a hero in Britain for leading the successful defence of Acre in 1799, thwarting Napoleon's plans of further conquest in the Sinai.

Napoleon Bonaparte, reminiscing later in his life, said of him: "That man made me miss my destiny".

Early life and career
Sidney Smith, as he always called himself, was born into a military and naval family with connections to the Pitt family. He was born at Westminster, the second son of Captain John Smith of the Guards and his wife Mary Wilkinson, daughter of wealthy merchant Pinckney Wilkinson. Sidney Smith attended Tonbridge School until 1772. He joined the Royal Navy in 1777 and fought in the American Revolutionary War. From June 1777 to January 1778 he served under Commander Jalheel Brenton on board the storeship HMS Tortoise (1777). He moved to the post ship HMS Unicorn (1776), and in her saw action in 1778 against the American frigate USS Raleigh (1776).

For his bravery under Rodney in the action near Cape St Vincent in January 1780, Sidney Smith was, on 25 September, appointed lieutenant of the 74-gun third-rate HMS Alcide (1779), despite being under the required age of nineteen.

He distinguished himself under Admiral Thomas Graves at the Battle of the Chesapeake in 1781 and under Admiral George Rodney at the Battle of the Saintes. In consequence he received his first command, the sloop HMS Fury (1779). He was soon promoted to captain a larger frigate, but following the peace of Versailles in 1783, he was put ashore on half pay.

During the peace, Smith chose to travel to France and first became involved with intelligence matters while observing the construction of the new naval port at Cherbourg. He also traveled in Spain and Morocco which were also potential enemies.

Service in the Royal Swedish Navy
In 1790, he applied for permission to serve in the Royal Swedish Navy in the war between Sweden and Russia. King Gustav III appointed him to command one light squadron and to be one of his principal naval advisers. Smith led his forces in the attempt of clearing the Bay of Viborg of the Russian fleet and later at the Battle of Svensksund (Finnish: Ruotsinsalmi, Russian: Rochensalm). The Russians lost sixty-four ships and over a thousand men. The Swedes lost four ships and had few casualties. For this, Smith was knighted by the king and made a Commander Grand Cross of the Swedish Svärdsorden (Order of the Sword). Smith used this title, with King George III's permission.

Service in the French Revolutionary Wars
In 1792, Smith's younger brother, John, was appointed to the British embassy to the Ottoman court in Constantinople. Smith obtained permission to travel to Turkey. While there, war broke out with Revolutionary France in January 1793. Smith recruited some British seamen and sailed to join the British fleet under Admiral Lord Hood which had occupied the French Navy's principal Mediterranean port of Toulon at the invitation of the French Royalist forces.

By Smith's arrival in December 1793, the Revolutionary forces, including a colonel of artillery, Napoleon Bonaparte, had surrounded the port and were attacking it. The British and their allies had insufficient soldiers to mount an effective defence and so the port was evacuated. Smith, serving as a volunteer with no command, was given the task of burning as many French ships and stores as possible before the harbour could be captured. Despite his efforts, lack of support from the Spanish forces sent to help him left more than half of the French ships to be captured undamaged. Although Smith had destroyed more French ships than had the most successful fleet action to that date, Nelson and Collingwood, among others, blamed him for this failure to destroy all of the French fleet.

On his return to London, Smith was given command of the fifth-rate HMS Diamond and in 1795 joined the Western Squadron under Sir John Borlase Warren. This squadron consisted of some of the most skillful and daring captains, including Sir Edward Pellew. Smith fitted this pattern and on one occasion took his ship almost into the port of Brest to observe the French fleet.

In July 1795, Captain Smith, commanding the western frigate squadron in HMS Diamond, occupied the Îles Saint-Marcouf off the coast of Normandy. He sacrificed two of his gun vessels, HMS Badger (1794) and HMS Sandfly (1794), to provide materials and manpower for fortifying the islands and setting a temporary naval garrison. Further defences were constructed by Royal Engineers, and Royal Marines and Royal Artillery detachments were established. The islands served as a forward base for the blockade of Le Havre, a launching point for intercepting coastal shipping, and as a transit point for French émigrés, and were held by the Royal Navy for nearly seven years. Smith specialised in inshore operations, and on 19 April 1796, he and his secretary John Wesley Wright were captured while attempting to cut out a French ship in Le Havre. Smith had taken the ship's boats into the harbour, but the wind died as they attempted to leave the harbour, and the French were able to recapture the ship with Smith and Wright aboard. Instead of being exchanged, as was the custom, Smith and Wright were taken to the Temple prison in Paris where Smith was to be charged with arson for his burning of the fleet at Toulon. As Smith had been on half pay at the time, the French considered that he was not an official combatant. Whilst in the Temple prison he commissioned a drawing of himself and his secretary John Wesley Wright from the French artist Philippe Auguste Hennequin, which is now in the British Museum. Another drawing by Hennequin, depicting only Smith, is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Smith was held in Paris for two years, despite a number of efforts to exchange him and frequent contacts with both French Royalists and British agents. Notably Captain Jacques Bergeret, captured in April 1796 with the frigate Virginie, was sent from England to Paris to negotiate his own exchange; when the Directoire refused, he returned to London. The French authorities threatened several times to try Smith for arson, but never followed up on the threats. Eventually in 1798 the Royalists, who pretended to be taking him to another prison, helped Smith and Wright to escape. The royalists brought the two Englishmen to Le Havre, where they boarded an open fishing boat and were picked up on 5 May by HMS Argo (1781) on patrol in the English Channel, arriving in London on 8 May 1798. Bergeret was then released, the British government considering the prisoner exchange as completed.

Service in the Mediterranean
Following Nelson's overwhelming victory at the Battle of the Nile, Smith was sent to the Mediterranean as captain of HMS Tigre (1795), a captured 80-gun French ship of the line which had been bought into the Royal Navy. It was not a purely naval appointment, although he was ordered to place himself under the command of Lord St Vincent, the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean. St Vincent gave him orders as Commodore with permission to take British ships under his command as required in the Levant. He also carried a military and diplomatic mission to Istanbul where his brother was now a Minister Plenipotentiary to the Sublime Porte. The mission's task was to strengthen Turkish opposition to Napoleon and to assist the Turks in destroying the French army stranded in Egypt. This dual appointment caused Nelson, who was the senior officer under St Vincent in the Mediterranean, to resent Smith's apparent superseding of his authority in the Levant. Nelson's antipathy further adversely affected Smith's reputation in naval circles.

Napoleon, having defeated the Ottoman forces in Egypt, marched north along the Mediterranean coast with 13,000 troops through Sinai and into what was then the Ottoman province of Syria. Here he took control of much of the southern part of the province, representing modern-day Israel and Palestine, and of a single town in today's Lebanon, Tyre. On the way north he captured Gaza and Jaffa with much brutality towards the civilian population and the massacre of 3,000 captured Turkish soldiers, whom he was unable to take with him or send back to Egypt. Napoleon's army then marched to Acre.

Smith sailed to Acre and helped the Turkish commander Jezzar Pasha reinforce the defences and old walls and supplied him with additional cannon manned by sailors and Marines from his ships. He also used his command of the sea to capture the French siege artillery being sent by ship from Egypt and to deny the French army the use of the coastal road from Jaffa by bombarding the troops from the sea.

Once the siege began in late March 1799, Smith anchored HMS Tigre and Theseus so their broadsides could assist the defence. Repeated French assaults were driven back, several attempts to mine the walls were prevented. By early May, replacement French siege artillery had arrived overland and a breach was forced in the defences. However, the assault was again repelled and Turkish reinforcements from Rhodes were able to land. On 9 May after another fierce bombardment, the final French assault was made. This, too, was repelled and Napoleon began making plans for the withdrawal of his army to Egypt. Shortly after this, Napoleon abandoned his army in Egypt and sailed back to France evading the British ships patrolling the Mediterranean.

Smith attempted to negotiate the surrender and repatriation of the remaining French forces under General Kléber and signed the Convention of El-Arish. However, because of the influence of Nelson's view that the French forces in Egypt should be annihilated rather than allowed to return to France, the treaty was abrogated by Lord Keith who had succeeded St Vincent as commander-in-chief.

The British decided instead to land an army under Sir Ralph Abercromby at Abukir Bay. Smith and Tigre were involved in the training and transport of the landing forces and as liaison with the Turks, but his unpopularity resulted in the loss of his diplomatic credentials and his naval position as Commodore in the eastern Mediterranean. The invasion was successful and the French defeated, although Abercromby was wounded and died soon after the battle. Following this Smith then supported the army under Abercromby's successor John Hely-Hutchinson, which besieged and captured Cairo and finally took the last French stronghold of Alexandria. The French troops were eventually repatriated on terms similar to those previously obtained by Smith in the Convention of El-Arish.

Service in British waters

On his return to England in 1801, Smith received some honours and a pension of £1,000 for his services, but he was overshadowed again by Nelson who was being acclaimed as the victor of the Battle of Copenhagen. During the brief Peace of Amiens, Smith was elected Member of Parliament for Rochester in Kent in the election held in 1802. There is strong evidence that he had an affair with Princess Caroline of Brunswick, the estranged wife of the Prince of Wales. Although she became pregnant, she was notorious for having a number of other lovers at the same time, such as George Canning and Thomas Lawrence, so it is unlikely the child was Smith's. With the resumption of war with France in 1803, Smith was employed in the southern North Sea off the coast between Ostend and Flushing part of the forces gathered to prevent Napoleon's threatened invasion.

Smith was interested in new and unusual methods of warfare. In 1804 and 1805, he worked with the American inventor Robert Fulton on his plans to develop torpedoes and mines to destroy the French invasion fleet gathering off the French and Belgian coasts. However, an attempt to use the new weapons combined with Congreve rockets in an attack on Boulogne was foiled by bad weather and the French gunboats that came out to threaten the attackers. Despite this setback, suggestions were made that the rockets, mines and torpedoes be used against the Combined French and Spanish Fleet in Cádiz. This was not necessary as the combined fleet sailed to defeat at the Battle of Trafalgar in October 1805.

Further service in the Mediterranean

In November 1805, Smith was promoted to rear admiral, he was again sent to the Mediterranean under the command of Collingwood, who had become the commander-in-chief following Nelson's death. Collingwood sent him to assist King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies to regain his capital of Naples from Napoleon's brother King Joseph, who had been given the Kingdom of Naples.

Smith planned a campaign using Calabrian irregular troops with a force of 5,000 British officers and men to march north on Naples. On 4 July 1806, they defeated a larger French force at the Battle of Maida. Once again, Smith's inability to avoid offending his superiors caused him to be replaced as commander of the land forces despite his success. He was replaced by Sir John Moore, one of Britain's most able soldiers. Moore abandoned Smith's plan and resorted to making the island of Sicily a strong British base in the Mediterranean.

Smith was sent to join Admiral Sir John Thomas Duckworth's expedition to Constantinople in February 1807. This was intended to forestall the French from making an alliance with the Turks to allow free passage of their army to Egypt. On 19 February Duckworth detached Smith's division to deal with a Turkish squadron impeding the fleet's progress, which Smith ably destroyed. Despite Smith's great experience in Turkish waters, his knowledge of the Turkish court, and his personal popularity with the Turks, he was kept in a subordinate role during the campaign. Even when Duckworth eventually did ask for his advice, it was not heeded. Duckworth, instead of allowing Smith to negotiate with the Turks, which the French ambassador later said would have been the end of the French overtures, retreated back through the Dardanelles under heavy Turkish fire. Although this was a defeat, the withdrawal under fire was played up as a heroic feat. In the summer of 1807, Duckworth and Smith were recalled to England.

Portugal and Brazil
In October 1807, Spain and France signed a treaty to divide Portugal between them. In November 1807, Smith was appointed to command an expedition to Lisbon, either to assist the Portuguese in resisting the attack or to destroy the Portuguese fleet and blockade the harbour at Lisbon should that be unsuccessful. Smith arranged for the Portuguese fleet to sail for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at that time a Portuguese colony. He was involved in planning an attack on the Spanish colonies in South America, in combination with the Portuguese, contrary to his orders, but he was recalled to Britain in 1809 before any of the plans could be carried out. He received much popular acclaim for his actions and was treated as a hero, but the government continued to be suspicious of him, and he was not given any official honours. Smith was promoted to vice admiral on 31 July 1810. In the Royal Navy of the time, promotion from Post Captain to Admiral was automatic and based on seniority, not a specific reward for good service. Later that year in October 1810, he married Caroline Rumbold, the widow of a diplomat, Sir George Rumbold, with whom Smith had worked.

Upon safe arrival to Brazil escorting the Portuguese Royal Family, Admiral Smith was awarded by the Prince-Regent John, the Grand Cross of the newly restored Order of the Tower and Sword.

Mediterranean again
In July 1812, Smith again sailed for the Mediterranean aboard his new flagship, the 74-gun Tremendous. He was appointed as second in command to Vice Admiral Sir Edward Pellew. His task was to blockade Toulon and he transferred his flag to the larger Hibernia, a 110-gun first-rate. The French did not come out of port to confront the British. Early in 1814, the Allies entered Paris and Napoleon abdicated. With the coming of peace and the defeat of Napoleon, Smith began the journey back to England.

Peace and Waterloo
In March 1815, Napoleon escaped from Elba and gathering his veteran troops marched on Paris where he was reinstated as Emperor of the French. Smith travelling back to England had only reached Brussels by June. Smith, his wife and stepdaughter attended the Duchess of Richmond's ball on night 15/16 June, and three days later, hearing the gunfire of a great battle, he rode out of Brussels and went to meet the Duke of Wellington. Smith found him late in the day when he had just won the Battle of Waterloo. Smith started making arrangements for the collecting and treatment of the many wounded soldiers on both sides. He was then asked to take the surrender of the French garrisons at Arras and Amiens and to ensure that the Allied armies could enter Paris without a fight and that it would be safe for King Louis XVIII to return to his capital. For these and other services, he was finally awarded a British knighthood, the KCB, so he was not just "the Swedish Knight" any more.

Smith then took up the anti-slavery cause. The Barbary pirates had operated for centuries out of a number of North African ports. They had enslaved captured sailors and even made raids to kidnap people from European coasts, including England and Ireland. Smith attended the Congress of Vienna to campaign for funds and military action to end the practice of slave taking.

France and death
Smith had managed to run up significant debts through his diplomatic expenses, which the British government proved to be very slow in reimbursing. He also lived the high life and his efforts to mobilise opinion against the slave trade had cost a good deal of money. In Britain, at that time debtors were often imprisoned until their debts were paid, so Smith moved his family to France, settling in Paris. Eventually the government did reimburse his expenditures and increased his pension, allowing him to live in some style. Despite frequent attempts to obtain a seagoing position, he was never to hold a command again. He died on 26 May 1840 of a stroke. He is buried with his wife in Père Lachaise Cemetery.

Namesakes
On 7 April 1801 Sidney, New York (Delaware County) was named in Sir Sidney Smith's honour. In June 1811 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1838 he was promoted to GCB in the Coronation Honours. Sidney Smith Barracks, in Mandate Palestine, were named in his honour. Now it is the site of Bustan Ha-Galil in northern Israel, where on 14 July 1941 the French forces in Syria and Lebanon signed their surrender to the British.

Heideroosjes

Heideroosjes (pronounced: hi-duh-rose-yes, HR in short), are a Dutch punk rock band from Horst aan de Maas. The band are known for their energetic shows and songs with lyrics mostly in Dutch and English, and a few songs in German and Limburgish (a dialect spoken in the Dutch province of Limburg). The band, formed in 1989, consisted of Marco Roelofs (vocals/guitar), Frank Kleuskens (guitar), Fred Houben (bass) and Igor Hobus (percussion). This lineup has not changed.

Heideroosjes played nearly 1500 shows in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Africa.

1989–1999
After releasing two albums on their self-founded label Fairytale Records Heideroosjes got its nationwide breakthrough in 1995 by opening the prestigious Pinkpop festival in The Netherlands. In 1998 the band signed a worldwide record deal with the world's biggest punk label, Epitaph Records, based in Hollywood (CA).

In 1999, the band made its first TV appearance in the United States when talk-show host Jerry Springer played some live footage of their song "Jerry Rules In The Land Of The Free". In this song, taken from their album Schizo, Heideroosjes voiced their opinion on (semi-reality) TV shows like The Jerry Springer Show.

Heideroosjes toured (mainly) Europe with familiar bands like The Offspring, Pennywise, The Misfits, Bad Religion and Less Than Jake.

2000–2010
In 2004, the Heideroosjes tour bus was involved in a serious accident. Three roadies were wounded, and one roadie was seriously injured. The band cancelled their tour but continued a few weeks later. Later that year, Heideroosjes received the Dutch Edison award for their single "Damclub Hooligan" (from their album SINema). In March 2004 the band appeared for the first time live in the US when they played at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. A rave review in The Austin Chronicle said "Now that was a lesson in rock 'n roll. They blew the other bands right of the front door".

In November and December 2005 Heideroosjes did an Ode to the Ramones tour in the Netherlands and Belgium. During this tour they only played covers from their heroes: The Ramones.

In 2006, Heideroosjes made international news by making a song with the mayor of Maastricht, Gerd Leers. In this song, called "Dope man", they mock the Dutch soft drug policy, which in their eyes is hypocritical. A few weeks later the Dutch minister of Justice, Piet Hein Donner, recorded a rap song with rapper Meester G responding to "Dope man" by defending his soft drug policy. Later that year Heideroosjes record their eighth album with Los Angeles-based producer Cameron Webb, who worked with bands like Motörhead, Ignite, Social Distortion and Silverstein. Motörhead singer Lemmy features on the song "My Funeral". Even as Ignite lead singer Zoli Teglas sings in the song "Forgotten Continent".

After years of touring the world including Japan, South Africa, and former Yugoslavia, Heideroosjes started a new phase in their career. In 2008 the band did a 100-show counting comedy tour called "Manie Manie". In this show the music seemed less important and there was more focus on stories, acting and comedy. According to the band "they wanted to try something different. Just because the combination of punk and theater is such a contrast."

In 2009 Heideroosjes celebrated 20 years touring with no line-up changes; the anniversary was marked by a double album and an extensive tour through Europe.

After a 'sabbatical year' in 2010 the band returned to touring and announced a new album for 2011. In September of that year Heideroosjes announced that the new studio album, Cease-Fire, would be their last one. "After this album and the tour, we're gonna quit" the band said. The main reason for the split, according to the band members, was "We still love to play and being on stage. But we are fed up with all the business that comes along with being in a professional band. We had a great time and traveled all over the world. We lived our dreams. And we believe it's better to burn out than to fade away". The farewell tour contained shows at the Lowlands Festival and the Sziget Festival in Hungary (2012). At the end of September 2012 Heideroosjes waved goodbye with two sold-out shows in Holland (Melkweg-Amsterdam) and two sold-out shows in Belgium (AB-Brussels).

2019
In 2019, the Heideroosjes played 5 shows as support for the German band Wizo and scheduled several other concerts and shows on festivals in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

Talk:Heretic (video game)

Untitled
Three questions:

 * When was Hexen released?

(I should mention that Hexen II was released after Hexen and before Heretic II)

 * What engine did Heretic II use?

 * What is the legality of including a Heretic screenshot here.

Samboy 02:33, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, the HeXen release date is mentioned in it's article already.

 * Also the Heretic II article states that it used the Quake engine.

 * Screenshots are actually a form of citing but could also be justified as fair use. Just look at other articles like Doom, how they handle this.

--Lightkey 05:48, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Nope

 * Hexen was released on halloween 95
 * Heretic II used a modified Quake2 engine, focused on particles, hitboxes and the new .fm model format
 * Fair use possibly.

Also I've fixed the release date of Heretic. CheapAlert 03:12, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I've not been at this article for a while, but to my suprise one "Demon!" changed back Field of Judgement to Arena of Judgement. I've just run Heretic again to verify -- it IS Field of judgement, at least as far as i can see. Anyone a different experience? -- De Zeurkous (irc@zgsnet.xs4all.nl), Mon Mar 20 06:14:47 UTC 2006

I expanded the enemy list to create seperate descriptions for each enemy. Eventually, this could be broken off into its own article like the Doom and Hexen enemy lists, but for now I think it is short enough to stay here. I'll leave that up to the judgment of others. -- Danarchy 19:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I also added both an artifacts section and a section for the other items in the game. Perhaps they should be combined, though I think artifacts are unique enough to be on their own. -- Danarchy 20:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

 * It seems to me that the article is beginning to turn into a walkthrough/faq for the gameplay rather than an entry about the game itself. Perhaps an overhaul is in order? Tani unit 02:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

About Cheats
Someone might want to add that if you use Doom cheats, funny things happen in this game. For example, iddqd (GOD mode) instantly kills you with the saying "Trying to cheat, heh? For that you die!". Using idkfa or any others that give you weapons in Doom, this game will take all of your weapons away and leave you with just a staff saying "Cheaters like you don't deserve weapons". --Kage 21:48, 02 April 2006

E5M8
Pardon me but map level E5M8 is "Field of Judgement" not "Arena of Judgement" Stephen Howe

Symbol
What is the origin of the pitchfork symbol, what does it mean?

 * I think it's the symbol of D'sparil. If you watch http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Heretic/video/x2w8yz_heretice1m1_videogames, the guy commenting explains it.

Recent mass deletions
Vikrant Phadkay recently made some deletions in this article that seem to take out valuable information. Is there a previous concensus somewhere on removing information about games? I'd like to be pointed to it. Until then, though, I'm going to re-instate the information. -Phoenixrod 16:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Some of the deleted information is available at strategywiki (now that I fixed the link), but I'm still not sure why it's not in this article. -Phoenixrod 16:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Platforms
Previously, this game was listed as having been released on Mac and RISC OS. However, I was not able to find any solid evidence of this other than the appearance of unofficial third-party source ports. If someone can provide actual evidence that the game was published for these platforms, please do so. Ham Pastrami (talk) 22:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I can confirm that Heretic was never released on the Mac. It only got onto the Mac in 1999 after the source code was released and a guy called Brad Oliver ported it over. http://heretic.mac.findmysoft.com/ Takethepain (talk) 16:26, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Correction to plot end
I found a mistake with the description of the ending - as stated in the end of Episode 4 (and in the source code), "you thought you would return to your own world after d'sparil died, but his final act banished you to his own plane." This is reflected at the beginning of Heretic II, but I'm not sure the flow of the paragraph I changed is correct. Can someone review it just to be sure? --76.10.151.22 (talk) 23:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Source Ports
Are we allowed to list source ports? If so I can write up a list here for submission. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewwan1980 (talk • contribs) 16:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

"Reception" section is heavily flawed
I was confused by the game having allegedly had a "mixed" reception and an aggregated score of only 62 on Game Rankings, which is contradictory to the reviews I remember from back in the day. So I checked the source and it turns out that for whatever reason Game Rankings only had a ridiculously small sample size of three reviews for Heretic, the worst one of which (50/100) is from 2001. It goes without saying that as such the summary "Heretic received mixed reviews" based on Game Rankings alone, is factually wrong.

I am not sure how to appropriately improve the article, however. The most honest thing I can think of is to omit Game Rankings and use more individual reviews from 1994-1995. European reviews would also have to be treated carefully since some of them may be from the year of the game's heavily delayed European release, when Heretic would already get unfavourably compared to the much newer and far more advanced Duke Nukem 3D. --F4LL0UT (talk) 19:38, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

West (cigarette)

West is a German brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Imperial Brands.

History
West was introduced to the German market in 1981 and initially were only available in specialised tobacco shops. The launch of the new brand was accompanied by a dynamic advertising campaign under the slogan "Let's go West!". Thanks to a successful pricing policy and positioning quality at a reasonable price, a year later the brand became one of the leading in Germany. Since approximately 1987 West became available in supermarkets and cigarette vending machines. West is the second-strongest cigarette brand in Germany.

In 1986, a new "Test the West!" advertising campaign was launched; the simplicity and originality of the new marketing strategies have been cited as key factors behind the uptick in brand recognition that was soon to follow. The campaign employed a strategy of placing paid promoters inside pubs, bars, restaurants and discotheques from which brand interest could be driven directly; in particular, by encouraging young people to engage in blindfolded product comparisons between West cigarettes and their current cigarette brand of choice.

In 1989, West Lights were introduced. The expansion of the range and the high demand for West cigarettes made it possible in two years to begin sales in Central and Eastern Europe.

In July 1995, it was reported that West was one of the most popular brands in the former German Democratic Republic, with the cigarette maker Philip Morris International declaring the total market share of international brands to have risen by almost 10% (to 39%) during the preceding 5-year span; the survey, conducted by Philip Morris Marktforschung, also showed that the former GDR brands had collectively endured losses of around 8% during the same timeframe. Nevertheless, with a total market share of 28.6%, in 1995 f6 remained the most popular cigarette smoked in the former GDR.

In Poland, West became widely available in the mid-1990s, the brand was advertised by actor Bogusław Linda in 1996.

In Russia, sales of West began in 1997, initially the cigarettes were available in two versions (Full Flavor and Lights) with a classic filter. The appearance of the new brand was accompanied by the advertising campaigns "The taste of now" and "The power of now", which started a year earlier in Europe.

In 1999, to promote the brand, the company used the provocative advertising campaign "USE", which is the continuation of "Test the West!". The images used to popularize the brand had also become bolder. On the advertising posters, West's characters turn out to be in intriguing and unconventional situations: for example, a girl confesses and smokes together with a priest in a confession. The slogan of the campaign is "Equality for All". According to its results, West brand reached 11% of the share of the cigarette market in Germany.

In July 1999, West cigarettes became available in the U.K.

To increase the competitiveness of the brand in Russia, the brand's specialists developed an innovative Streamtec filter in the form of a propeller, and in 2000 the brand was relaunched.

In the early 2000s, the brand continued its active development. Thanks to the partnership with the McLaren F1 team, West's profile was raised. In production, West ST Ultra cigarettes were launched. Debut sales of West in Africa.

In 2004, "Hongta Group" announced it would produce the cigarettes in China.

Since 2009 there has been a significant expansion of the West line in the Russian market. West Tri Logic cigarettes with low levels of tar and nicotine and West Fusion were produced - standard length cigarettes in Super Slims format. The following year, the production of West SSL cigarettes began in a super-thin format. A year later, the launch of the production of West Compact format Queen size and West Duo classic King Size with a menthol capsule in the filter.

In January 2010, Imperial Tobacco announced a change in the design of the West cigarettes. Through the fresh design, the company said it was making "a conscious effort for innovation and to create something that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing for our adult smokers".

Advertising campaigns
For a long time West cigarettes were advertised with more and more different campaigns. In 2003, the advertising campaign ("Für....") was carried out on Germany's posters and advertising pillars. The motifs showed the new seasonal pack edition of West. So there are a total of 5 different motifs painted in national colors faces from Germany, France, England, Italy and Brazil. The faces on the packs are representative of the enthusiasm and internationality in the country, which can be triggered for example by a FIFA World Cup. West also issued special editions of cigarette packaging: West Summer Edition, West Oster Edition, West Cola, West in Space Edition, Fest (Christmas cigarettes) and West Lemon Fresh were briefly introduced.

Test the West
From 1986 onwards, the brand used the slogan "Test the West!" and made good use of it after the fall of the Berlin Wall to gain name recognition in the former German Democratic Republic.

Autosport
West became the main sponsor of the small German Formula One team Zakspeed. The best result of the team was Martin Brundle's 5th place at the 1987 San Marino Grand Prix. Sponsorship continued until 1989, when the team left the competition. It was also the sponsor of the McLaren Formula One team (known as "West McLaren Mercedes") from 1997 to July 2005. West terminated its relationship with McLaren due to a European Union ban on tobacco advertising in 2005 and Vodafone and Emirates became their primary sponsor from 2006 onwards. In countries where tobacco advertising already was banned on a local level (like Germany and France), West used certain logos, covered the West logos with black gaps, put the first names of the drivers ("Mika" for Mika Häkkinen, "David" for David Coulthard, "Juan Pablo" for Juan Pablo Montoya, "Kimi" for Kimi Räikkönen, and so on) or put "East" on their cars, referring to East Germany at the time to circumvent those laws.

In Argentina, West sponsored the Turismo Carretera team's Ford Falcon cars, made up of Juan María Traverso and the brothers Oscar Aventín and Antonio Aventín in 1983.

Motorsport
West was the primary sponsor of Sito Pons' MotoGP team from 2000 to 2002, when Camel became their main sponsor from 2003 onwards. The best result in this period was shown by Loris Capirossi, finishing third in the 2001 500cc season. In countries where tobacco advertising was banned on a local level (like Germany and France), West put the first names of the riders ("Alex" for Alex Barros, "Loris" for Loris Capirossi and so on) on the front and sides of the bikes to circumvent those laws.

Other sports
West sponsored the Slovak Extraliga from 1997 to 2001. West also sponsored numerous amateur cage fighters. West also sponsorship Ferencvaros during their first period in Championa League 95/96.

Markets
West is mainly sold in Germany, but also was or still is sold in the United Arab Emirates, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Canary Islands, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Algeria, Argentina, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Costa Rica Azerbaijan, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, United States and Brazil.

Talk:Pupillary light reflex

Any
Any objections to moving this back to pupillary reflex, as that is what the article is about. It discusses more than just constriction. Tristanb 02:42, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Good point - I moved it and edited it to clarify. Nephron 23:30, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

thank you good point 2

Unclear sentence
This sentence is unclear to me:

Pupillary constriction is sometimes used as a synonym for pupillary reflex but something more general.

Perhaps there is an "is" missing between "but" and "something"? I'm not an expert on this topic, so I hesitate to make this change myself. --Spiff666 13:27, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Review
I would like to request a review of these informations on the article:

"Normally, each pupil should constrict with light shone into either eye. On testing each reflex for each eye, several patterns are possible.

 * Optic nerve damage on one side
 * The ipsilateral (on the side with the damage) direct reflex is lost
 * The contralateral (on the other side) direct reflex is intact
 * The ipsilateral consensual reflex is intact (because light shone into the opposite eye can signal to the brain, causing constriction of both pupils via the normal oculomotor nerves
 * The contralateral consensual reflex is lost (because light shone into the eye on the damaged side cannot signal to the brain)"

I think the highlighted things are wrong but I'm not really sure. Anyone could help me? Thanks Rhcastilhos (talk) 02:29, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Ops I solved my misunderstanding. The article is correct. Rhcastilhos (talk) 03:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Merger
I suggest that Pupillary response be merged into this article. A "reflex" is the same as a "response". The only difference between the two articles is that this article is more informative and better named. If there are no objections within the next month, I'll merge the two. Fuzzform (talk) 00:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Against Merger
While the Pupillary response article isn't the best on it's own, I wouldn't merge it into this article. This article is to do with how the pupils respond to light. There are other pupillary reflexes, accommodation of the pupil when focusing at a near object being one important clinically tested one. I think it would be incorrect to include such reflexes under the heading of light reflexes, even under an "Other Reflexes" heading. I would suggest that if anything, Pupillary light reflex would be best suited under a broader heading of Pupillary Reflexes, along with non-light related reflexes. That would probably take quite a bit of work though. Nairdakb 15:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Error in neuron pathway (?)
I don't have a textbook with me currently, but I was taught that the bilateralism of the reflex is because the pretectal N. sends fibers to the EW nucleus on both sides (through the posterior commisure), and not like the way it is described here where the reflex is due to each EW controlling both eyes. I'd be happy if someone could clarifyMERRF (talk) 09:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Merging Consensual response
It's been a year and a half since the merge tag was introduced onto the Consensual response page, and this one. I'm in the process of wikifying that page, as part of the wikification drive. The page seems to be about the response of both sides of the body to a stimulus on only one side. They use the eye as the only example, but the effect is not limited to the eye, so I move to NOT merge that page into this one. Since such a long time has elapsed, with no other opinions, and the wikifying task is at hand, I'm going to remove the merge tags and attempt to improve the Consensual response page. Nihola (talk) 16:38, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Retinohypothalamic tract
Seems strange that the Retinohypothalamic tract is not mentioned in this article, whether it is considered to be part of the optic nerve, or not. --Hordaland (talk) 17:41, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Autonomic nervous system
I was wondering if it might be informative to talk about the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems here or not. From my understanding of it, constriction of the pupil in the light reflex is indirectly controlled by the parasympathetic system (which inhibits/activates the Edinger-Westphal nucleus) or is that better left for a different page? Moonpe11 (talk) 17:25, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Terminology does not match explanations
"It is a misconception to think that, for example, left consensual pupillary reflex is the left eye pupillary reflex when light is shone to the right eye. Likewise, this applies to the terminology "right consensual pupillary reflex"."

This is the exact opposite of what's shown in the 'Schematics' section.

"Left consensual light reflex involves neural segments 2, 4, and 7. Segment 2 is the afferent limb. Segments 4 and 7 form the efferent limb."

Segment 2 is the afferent limb from the right eye, while 4 and 7 form the efferent limb to the left eye. So that would mean that the Left consensual light reflex is the left consensual pupillary reflex is indeed left eye pupillary reflex when light is shone to the right eye. Anyone have any idea which one might be wrong? (I am leaning towards mistakes in Terminology, but not sure).

EDIT: The terminology also does not match the 'Clinical Significance' section.

During the Cole response, we took on the crew of the USS Cole, DIA & FBI agents (due to the Yemenese paper publishing the actual hotel and room #'s the FBI were staying in). We cleaned up the mess associated with the USS Cole (bodies on ocean floor, identifying body parts for burial, make the USS Cole semi-operable). After some time (not sure how long) the Cole was tugged out to the Marlin and transported for repair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.179.8.41 (talk • contribs) 15:21, 29 November 2006

USS Donald Cook, USS Hawes, and the British ship HMS Marlborough did not provide any logistical support, but did provide harbor security. Logistical support was solely provided by the USS Duluth, which was the first ship on the scene after the attack and stayed in close proximity to the USS Cole until it was taken away by the MV Blue Marlin. The USS Tarawa did not stay until the USS Cole was taken away. The USS Tarawa and USS Anchorage headed into Persian Gulf to Bahrain and then to the UAE for the training exercise "Iron Magic" taking L Co, BLT 3/1 from the USS Duluth along with them, leaving I Co, BLT 3/1 to provide security on the USS Cole, security on the shore adjacent to the USS Cole, and security for the FBI and other civilian investigative personnel at a nearby hotel. 124.122.55.133 (talk) 02:15, 16 March 2015 (UTC)Co GySgt, I Co, BLT 3/1, 13th MEU(SOC) during Operation Determined Response

 * Delete. I see nothing notable here. Indrian 07:37, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep If you've been to a Con you'd know that these small groups of like minded and good cartoonists are one of the best ways to move merchandise and draw attention. It's worth noting that Dumbrella had more booth space than keenspot or modern tales or many of the other comic concerns and had a massive draw.  Both definitions need expansion, but Dumbrella for sure is a template on which small, efficient webcomic collectives will base themselves and Bag Of Chips demonstrates the effectiveness of that as several of them are Keenspot artists who see the small collective as a better form of promotion and support than the massive Keenspot.  scrubbo 08:45, 18 Dec 2004(CST)

Canoe freestyle (also known as playboating) is a discipline of whitewater kayaking or canoeing where people perform various technical moves in one place (a playspot), as opposed to downriver whitewater canoeing or kayaking where the objective is to travel the length of a section of river (although whitewater paddlers will often stop and play en route). Specialised canoes or kayaks (boats) known as playboats are often used, but any boat can be used for playing. The moves and tricks are often similar to those performed by snowboarders, surfers or skaters, where the athlete completes spins, flips, turns, etc. With modern playboats it is possible to get the kayak and the paddler completely airborne while performing tricks. The competitive side of playboating is known as freestyle kayaking (formerly called rodeo).

Playspots
Playspots are typically stationary features on rivers, in particular standing waves (which may be breaking or partially breaking), hydraulic jumps, 'holes' and 'stoppers', where water flows back on itself creating a retentive feature (these are often formed at the bottom of small drops or weirs) or eddy lines (the boundary between slow moving water at the rivers' edge, and faster water).

Moves
Basic moves consist of front- and back-surfing, spins through any of the three axes; air screws, cartwheels and air loops (invented by Clay Wright), stalls with the kayak vertical on either end, and getting airborne (bouncing the boat on a wave, or submerging part of the kayak so that it pops out when it re-emerges). The playboater usually aims to stay surfing the feature after performing each move (as opposed to being washed off). More complex moves are made up of combinations of these moves.

These moves were more popular before short playboats were invented, but remain the foundation of several current moves.

Popularity
Playboating has grown in popularity in recent years due to innovations in boat design. Modern playboats are made from plastic which is much more robust than glass fibre or wood. Playboats typically have much less volume in the bow and stern than dedicated river-running kayaks. This allows the paddler to easily dip either end underwater.

Playboating is mainly done for fun, but competitions are also popular. Paddlers have a set time to perform as many moves as possible, and score additional points for style.

There are ICF Canoe Freestyle World Championships held under the banner of the  International Canoe Federation as well as a variety of different national and regional championships. The most recent World Championships was held in Columbus, USA with over 100 athletes.

Visiting a playspot where you do not need to commit to a full river run to get there (which involves shuttling cars to the bottom of the river) is often referred to as 'Park and Play'. Playboating can often be more convenient and can in some circumstances can be considered safer than river running – in particular if the play spot is in an accessible area as opposed to numerous whitewater runs which exist in remote and inaccessible (in case of injury or rescue) areas.

Right of way
Playboaters still generally follow right of way conventions that are commercially established. The vessel upstream of a feature has right of way over a vessel in the feature. This means that if a kayaker is surfing a wave, and a kayaker or a raft is coming downstream, the surfing kayaker should give way to the upstream paddler[s].

This general convention however is disregarded in many scenarios present in playboating:
 * If the feature has eddy access a kayaker approaching from upstream should eddy out and get in the line to surf the wave, instead of using their right of way to catch the wave on the fly as this is seen as 'budging'.
 * If the kayaker is approaching a play feature that does not have eddy access they do not have the right to push a kayaker surfing on the wave off. They should wait until the kayaker flushes and then proceed down to surf the wave.
 * A kayaker may not enter a play feature that another kayaker is surfing unless they are invited on for a 'party surf'.
 * A kayaker loses their right to stay on the wave if they stay on too long. Generally rides extending longer than 2 minutes are frowned upon and sometimes a kayaker having a long ride will be 'dropped in on'.
 * On some rivers that are heavily commercially rafted, rafts are privileged with skipping the line because they are on a timed trip and need to hit the wave many times in a short period. On other rivers, however, rafts that claim this privilege—especially without asking the other paddlers—are heavily frowned upon.
 * Rafts coming downstream are given right of way because they are typically less agile to change their course than a kayak. Also, they are larger and heavy which makes being run over not much fun.
 * If the feature is at a specially designed site e.g. Holme Pier Point, Nottingham, England then the paddler in the hole or wave has right of way (excluding rafts).

Culture
Playboaters are a very diverse crowd, primarily because of the wide range of skill levels playboating can accommodate. Generally in regions where playboating is more popular than creeking or river running due to the surrounding rivers, beginners will enter the sport of kayaking in a playboat, or a cross over boat. This group of kayakers if often supported by either a paid instructor, club, or skilled paddling friend who often supplies instruction, gear, safety and clean up support. Beginners, club paddlers and lesson groups are generally friendly and welcoming to newcomers, and typically only paddle in warm weather months to avoid the need of buying expensive cold water gear.

The culture of playboaters also encompasses a group of kayakers who are called 'pro boaters' short for professional kayakers. These kayakers generally aspire to, or do, make money off of competitions, sponsorships, or media created on their playboating skills. There is a stereotype of 'pro boaters' to be elusive, self indulged, and wild; a stigma often enforced by the media the group produces. Professional kayakers generally range between the ages of 16 and 35, and generally do not make more than average income per year.

The last major facet of playboaters that do not belong in the beginner / group culture, or the 'pro boater' culture is the local playboater. This type of playboater is usually good to advanced in skill level, and generally is a graduate of the beginner or group culture scene. They are identified by a tighter knit group of friends, and their knowledge of the play waves in their area. It is not uncommon to see local boaters and pro boaters surfing advanced waves, with a distinct differentiation between the two cultures identified by their equipment, their lack or presence of media equipment, and general attitude around the feature.

Whimsy
How sad that there is no place in a serious discussion of the inhabitants of the imagination for whimsy. I can understand tirades over the commercialization of treasured memories but... Ace Diamond 02:52, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * There's nothing wrong with whimsy. But it devastates the flow of this article when placed right at the front end. Even though there is room for whimsy in this topic, the writing also needs to be at least somewhat encyclopedic, and the placement of your quote(?) is inappropriate. Denni ☯ 19:13, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)

Polpegan
The Breton word "polpegan" means "small people" (from pobl+bihan in modern breton). It is a south breton dalectal breton (Vannetais) and is cognate with the other breton words "ozegan" and "korrigan" in Brittany's folklore. Polpegan are thus closely related to pixies but not so much with pucks. Polpegans are moreover small little creatures, dwarf alike, and do not look like goats or rams in Breton's folklore and representations.

Using "polpegan" here is a mistake. https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/bihan

Encyclopedic?
Yet myth is not easily denied. The Púca, ever the master of disguise, may find new life in synthetic fur and glass eyes, and gallop forth into the darkness once again to strike fear into the hearts of the midnight traveller. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ace Diamond (talk • contribs) 01:24, 20 December 2004 (UTC)

 * I do believe I said "somewhat encyclopedic." :) And was that a real quote? Denni ☯ 02:20, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is a real quote from the play Harvey. Written, by the way, by a woman who learned of the pooka at her dear old immigrant Irish grandmothers knee. - Ace Diamond 02:31, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Then perhaps you can find a good spot for it in this article. I have no problem with the quote - my issue was with its placement. I have a small problem with the movie, which features a puka as a giant, sort of goofy rabbit (rather like portraying the Tasmanian devil as a bad-mannered chipmunk), but I have a dear old immigrant Irish grandmother too, so know which side to butter my bread. Denni ☯ 00:27, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)

I think that I may be spending way too much effort on this but if you look seriously at the play (or the movie) you will notice that Harvey is a real threat to what people think is "normal". He challanges Vita's notion of propriety, he challenges Dr. Chumley's notion of psychological balance. He really is pretty scary to a 20th century world view.

You shouldn't sell Harvey too short. Watch the movie again, It really is great.

This is my last word on this subject. Merry Christmas!!! - Ace Diamond 03:56, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

OK, this is an old and ambiguous argument, but I am going to wake it up again as I don't see a conclusion. The question is regarding the quote "'Pooka. From old Celtic mythology. A fairy spirit in animal form. The pooka appears here and there, now and then, to this one and that one at his own caprice. A wise but mischievous creature. Very fond of rum-pots, crack pots; and how are you, Mr. Wilson.'" I think the quote enriches the article, so I'm adding it to expand the preexisting reference to the quote found in the Popular Culture section. If anyone feels it does not belong, please reply explaining why. Verdatum 20:12, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

It'd be nice to be consistent with the spelling. Tahrlis (talk) 11:45, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

NPOV
I think this sentence is NPOV. Anyone agree?

At the beginning of the 21st century, the Púca has succumbed to the enfeeblement which has been the fate of so many other powerful mythological creatures. Contemporary media have reduced it to a harmless, shy, and slightly demented garden-gnomish weevil eater. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.178.169.21 (talk) 00:08, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

MacAvoy novel
How about a mention somewhere of R. A. MacAvoy's novel "The Grey Horse," which takes place in An Cheathrú Rua, Connemara and has a puca shapeshanger as its main character?

While I'm sure it's not as well known as, for instance, the Xanth novels, it's a much more accurate representation of the traditional idea of the puca - a mischievous but benign spirit out of the Irish hills - in its indigenous setting, and the author did lots of first-hand research in Carraroe to make it that way.

Just a thought. - 24.34.85.32 (talk) 22:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Donnie Darko
Is the reference to Donnie Darko relevant? Nothing in the film as I remember it alludes to Frank being a puca. Especially considering it's just a costume. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomtaro (talk • contribs) 17:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

The rabbit character is clearly pooka-inspired (which is worth mentioning in this article), but the story makes it clear that he isn't a pooka -- just a man in a Halloween costume. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 16:37, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Ravenloft's "Dance of the Dead" appearance
A character which is described as or named Pookha (or a different spelling, I read the book in Hebrew) appears in Dance of the Dead.

Anybody cares to confirm and add?

Harvey
"Harvey" was a film in 1950 starring James Stewart, directed by Henry Koster and written by Mary Chase. It depicted a man having delusions of a large rabbit, often opening doors for him and addressing him in public. In the film, a character read a description of "Pooka" out of a dictionary in a psychologist's office. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.45.218 (talk) 22:56, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Jimmy Stewart also refers to Harvey as a "Pooka" bewildering Mrs. Chumley who pretends to know with a smile and nod before clarifying with her limo driver and asking others in the next scene, "what's a Pooka?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:d00:794f:f801:7c37:9945:ead1 (talk) 00:54, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Is it possible that Puca is etymologically related to the word Puke? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.147.154.21 (talk) 02:01, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Callahan's Place
In the fourth book by Spider Robinson; "The Callahan Touch," we meet Ernie Shea who is known as The Lucky Duck. Turns out Mr. Shea was a half-breed of a puca and a "Fir Darrig." Ernie is blessed (or cursed) with strange luck. The laws of probability are silly putty in his presence. Humanity's response to these events, coupled with Ernie's general short stature as given him a sour personality. He literally crashes into Mary's Place (the name of the new bar) on opening night. He stays because it's the first place where no one views him as a freak or tries to exploit him but simply accepts that weird things happen around him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.97.24.135 (talk) 21:51, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I guess don't forget about the Pukel-men that Merry recognized at Dunharrow (Druedain?).
