Simon Conway Morris

Simon Conway Morris (born 1951) is an English palaeontologist, evolutionary biologist, and astrobiologist known for his study of the fossils of the Burgess Shale and the Cambrian explosion. The results of these discoveries were celebrated in Stephen Jay Gould's 1989 book Wonderful Life. Conway Morris's own book on the subject, The Crucible of Creation (1998), however, is critical of Gould's presentation and interpretation.

Conway Morris, a Christian, holds to theistic views of biological evolution. He has held the Chair of Evolutionary Palaeobiology in the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge since 1995.

Early years
Conway Morris was born on 6 November 1951. A native of Carshalton, Surrey, he was brought up in London, England. and went on to study geology at Bristol University, achieving a First Class Honours degree. He then moved to Cambridge University and completed a PhD at St John's College under Harry Blackmore Whittington. He is professor of evolutionary palaeobiology in the Department of Earth Sciences at Cambridge. He is renowned for his insights into early evolution and his studies of paleobiology. He gave the Royal Institution Christmas Lecture in 1996 on the subject of The History in our Bones. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society at age 39, was awarded the Walcott Medal of the National Academy of Sciences in 1987 and the Lyell Medal of the Geological Society of London in 1998.

Work
Conway Morris is based in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge and is best known for his work on the Cambrian explosion, the Burgess Shale fossil fauna and similar deposits in China and Greenland. In addition to working in these countries he has undertaken research in Australia, Canada, Mongolia and the United States. His studies on the Burgess Shale-type faunas, as well as the early evolution of skeletons, has encompassed a wide variety of groups, ranging from ctenophores to the earliest vertebrates. His thinking on the significance of the Burgess Shale has evolved and his current interest in evolutionary convergence and its wider significance – the topic of his 2007 Gifford Lectures – was in part spurred by Stephen Jay Gould's arguments for the importance of contingency in the history of life.

In January 2017, his team announced the discovery of Saccorhytus and initially described it as an early member of the deuterostomes which contain a diverse group of animals including vertebrates, but subsequent analysis reclassified this taxon as a member of the protostomes, probably within the ecdysozoans.

Burgess Shale
Conway Morris' views on the Burgess Shale are reported in numerous technical papers and more generally in The Crucible of Creation (Oxford University Press, 1998). In recent years he has been investigating the phenomenon of evolutionary convergence, the main thesis of which is put forward in Life's Solution: Inevitable Humans in a Lonely Universe (Cambridge University Press, 2003). He is now involved on a major project to investigate both the scientific ramifications of convergence and also to establish a website (www.mapoflife.org) that aims to provide an easily accessible introduction to the thousands of known examples of convergence. This work is funded by the John Templeton Foundation.

Evolution, science and religion
Conway Morris is active in the public understanding of science and has broadcast extensively on radio and television. The latter includes the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures delivered in 1996. A Christian, he has participated in science and religion debates, including arguments against intelligent design on the one hand and materialism on the other. In 2005 he gave the second Boyle Lecture. He has lectured at the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion on "Evolution and fine-tuning in Biology". He gave the University of Edinburgh Gifford Lectures for 2007 in a series titled "Darwin's Compass: How Evolution Discovers the Song of Creation". In these lectures Conway Morris explained why evolution is compatible with belief in the existence of a God.

He is a critic of materialism and of reductionism:

"That satisfactory definitions of life elude us may be one hint that when materialists step forward and declare with a brisk slap of the hands that this is it, we should be deeply skeptical. Whether the 'it' be that of Richard Dawkins' reductionist gene-centred worldpicture, the 'universal acid' of Daniel Dennett's meaningless Darwinism, or David Sloan Wilson's faith in group selection (not least to explain the role of human religions), we certainly need to acknowledge each provides insights but as total explanations of what we see around us they are, to put it politely, somewhat incomplete."

and of scientists who are militantly against religion:

"the scientist who boomingly – and they always boom – declares that those who believe in the Deity are unavoidably crazy, 'cracked' as my dear father would have said, although I should add that I have every reason to believe he was – and now hope is – on the side of the angels."

In March 2009 he was the opening speaker at the Biological Evolution: Facts and Theories conference held at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, as well as chairing one of the sessions. The conference was sponsored by the Catholic Church. Conway Morris has contributed articles on evolution and Christian belief to several collections, including The Cambridge Companion to Science and Religion (2010) and The Blackwell Companion to Science and Christianity (2012).

Kim Wilson

Kim Wilson (born January 6, 1951) is an American blues singer and harmonica player. He is best known as the lead vocalist and frontman for The Fabulous Thunderbirds on two hit songs of the 1980s, "Tuff Enuff" (which was the group's only Top 40 hit) and "Wrap It Up."

Career
Wilson was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1951, but he grew up in Goleta, California, where he sometimes went by the stage name of "Goleta Slim." He started with the blues in the late 1960s and was tutored by people like Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Eddie Taylor, Albert Collins, George "Harmonica" Smith, Luther Tucker and Pee Wee Crayton and was influenced by harmonica players such as Little Walter, James Cotton, Big Walter Horton, Slim Harpo and Lazy Lester. Before he moved to Austin, Texas, in 1974, he was the leader of the band Aces, Straights and Shuffles in Minneapolis, Minnesota; the band released one single. In Austin he formed the Fabulous Thunderbirds with guitarist Jimmie Vaughan. They became the house band at Antone's, a blues club owned by Clifford Antone.

Wilson continues to perform up to 300 concert dates per year at blues music festivals and clubs all over the world, both as leader of the Fabulous Thunderbirds and with Kim Wilson's Blues Allstars.

His powerful style of blues harp playing has been described as "loaded with the textures of a full-blown horn section."

In 2015, Wilson made a guest appearance playing the harmonica on Karen Lovely's album, Ten Miles of Bad Road.

In 2016, Wilson won a Blues Music Award in the 'Instrumentalist - Harmonica' category.

Wilson plays himself in a rare television appearance on Wiseguy, "Sleepwalk" episode, 1989.

Baron Mount Temple

Baron Mount Temple was a title that was created twice in British history, both times in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The first creation came on 25 May 1880 when the Liberal politician the Honourable William Cowper-Temple was made Baron Mount Temple, of Mount Temple in the County of Sligo. He was born William Cowper, the second son of Peter Clavering-Cowper, 5th Earl Cowper (see Earl Cowper for earlier history of the family) by his wife the Honourable Emily, sister of the 2nd Viscount Melbourne. Emily married as her second husband the 3rd Viscount Palmerston, a man who would serve as British prime minister. Lord Palmerston, an Anglo-Irish peer, died in 1865 when the viscountcy and his junior title of Baron Temple, of Mount Temple, became extinct. Emily died 11 September 1869, leaving her second husband's estates, including Broadlands in Hampshire, to her second son, William, who thereupon adopted by royal licence the surname Cowper-Temple, in whose favour the Mount Temple title was revived in 1880. William was married to Georgina Tollemache.

Lord Mount Temple died without issue on 16 October 1888 when the peerage became extinct. However, it was revived on 13 January 1932 when his great-nephew, the Conservative politician, Wilfrid Ashley, was made Baron Mount Temple, of Lee in the County of Southampton. He was the son of the Honourable Evelyn Ashley, private secretary to and biographer of third Viscount Palmerston and the second son of Anthony Ashley Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury (see Earl of Shaftesbury for earlier history of the family), husband of Lady Emily Cowper, sister of the first Baron of the first creation. He had already inherited Broadlands. Ashley had been married in 1901 to "Maudie" Cassel, only daughter of the Edwardian financier Sir Ernest Cassel, and their elder daughter the Honourable Edwina Ashley, a considerable heiress, was married in 1922 to Lord Louis Mountbatten, later the last Viceroy of India. After his wife's death, he married Muriel Forbes-Sempill. However, Lord Mount Temple had no sons and the title became extinct on his death on 3 July 1939. Broadlands passed through Edwina Ashley into the Mountbatten, now Knatchbull family (see Earl Mountbatten of Burma).

Barons Mount Temple; First creation (1880)

 * William Francis Cowper-Temple, 1st Baron Mount Temple (1811–1888)

Barons Mount Temple; Second creation (1932)

Coordination in CSCW
Not encyclopedic. Delete. utcursch 12:58, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * 192.16.127.10 has removed the VfD tag. However, this is an attempt at an essay, which is indeed not encyclopedic. Delete (possible speedy for lack of any content whatsoever) Radiant! 13:18, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * It does not qualify under the speedy criteria now. The author is advised to look at the "References" section of computer supported cooperative work to see some of the venues where original research articles like this should be published.  Delete. Uncle G 15:14, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC)
 * This is not original work. We are just trying to explain what coordination in CSCW is wrt different researches. Plus we are newbie. and This page will be written by around dozen students. We will add things within next few days under different headings that have been created for other fellow students. DO NOT Delete. asimghaffar 20:22, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC)
 * Comment -- asimghaffar, I strongly recommend that you find another place to do this in. Wikipedia is not the appropriate place. Maybe wikinfo.org might be better. Zzyzx11 21:17, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Concur with Zzyzx. This is not the appropriate place. Radiant! 21:58, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looking at the current section headers, it looks more like a research paper than an encyclopedia article. Zzyzx11 21:17, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Do not delete. Despite the rough start, the article, in its current form, (though still incomplete) does conform to the 'norm' of other, similar, articles such as Groupware and Video_teleconference .  The article meets the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia.  In fact, the comments of Zzyzx11 are not correct in regards to the "look" of the paper when compared to such norms (delineated above).  Some of the initial comments (e.g. by Radiant) were made because the article was initially only an outline with no content.
 * As for the content of the work, it is, in fact, encyclopedic, and even properly referenced; the content reflects the views of the establishment in CSCW.
 * The article is appropriate. The article is not original research.  In its current form, there is no longer any violation of the Wikipedia deletion policy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy ), and thus should not be deleted.  Therefore, my vote (based on the article's compliance) is Do not delete. - Funflyer at 08:17, 23 Feb 2005
 * Comment. According to the page history, the previous comment was made by Funflyer at 08:17, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC). Secondly, regarding the comment I wrote above: "Looking at the current section headers, it looks more like a research paper than an encyclopedia article." I made that comment when only the Introduction section was complete and the other sections were completely blank. Zzyzx11 10:50, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. (Thanks Zzyzx11; I added my sig & better format from my 23 Feb comment).  The article is complete.  It is Wikipedia compliant.  It is also quite useful in the fields of CSCW and HCI/HMI.  If there are any other suggestions for improvement, or if any opinions still exist for deleting this article, please state them.  Otherwise, I see no reason this article should still be a candidate for deletion. --Funflyer 18:59, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Montalivet Islands

East Montalivet Island and West Montalivet Island are islands off coast of the Kimberley region, in the state of Western Australia, in the Indian Ocean. They are often referred to together as the Montlivet Islands, although this is not a gazetted name.

They were discovered by Nicolas Baudin in 1802, and named after Jean-Pierre Bachasson, 1st count of Montalivet (1766 - 1823), peer of France and French statesman, in the atlas of his expedition.

The locations of the islands are:
 * East Montalivet Island : -14.26667°N, 125.3°W
 * West Montalivet Island : -14.3°N, 125.21667°W

Null graph

In the mathematical field of graph theory, the term "null graph" may refer either to the order-zero graph, or alternatively, to any edgeless graph (the latter is sometimes called an "empty graph").

Order-zero graph
The order-zero graph, $K0$, is the unique graph having no vertices (hence its order is zero). It follows that $K0$ also has no edges. Thus the null graph is a regular graph of degree zero. Some authors exclude $K0$ from consideration as a graph (either by definition, or more simply as a matter of convenience). Whether including $K0$ as a valid graph is useful depends on context. On the positive side, $K0$ follows naturally from the usual set-theoretic definitions of a graph (it is the ordered pair $K0$ for which the vertex and edge sets, $V$ and $E$, are both empty), in proofs it serves as a natural base case for mathematical induction, and similarly, in recursively defined data structures $(V, E)$ is useful for defining the base case for recursion (by treating the null tree as the child of missing edges in any non-null binary tree, every non-null binary tree has exactly two children). On the negative side, including $K0$ as a graph requires that many well-defined formulas for graph properties include exceptions for it (for example, either "counting all strongly connected components of a graph" becomes "counting all non-null strongly connected components of a graph", or the definition of connected graphs has to be modified not to include $K0$). To avoid the need for such exceptions, it is often assumed in literature that the term graph implies "graph with at least one vertex" unless context suggests otherwise.

In category theory, the order-zero graph is, according to some definitions of "category of graphs," the initial object in the category.

$K0$ does fulfill (vacuously) most of the same basic graph properties as does $K0$ (the graph with one vertex and no edges). As some examples, $K1$ is of size zero, it is equal to its complement graph $K0$, a forest, and a planar graph. It may be considered undirected, directed, or even both; when considered as directed, it is a directed acyclic graph. And it is both a complete graph and an edgeless graph. However, definitions for each of these graph properties will vary depending on whether context allows for $\overline{K}0$.

Edgeless graph
For each natural number $n$, the edgeless graph (or empty graph) $\overline{K}n$ of order $n$ is the graph with $\overline{K}n$ vertices and zero edges. An edgeless graph is occasionally referred to as a null graph in contexts where the order-zero graph is not permitted.

It is a 0-regular graph. The notation $n$ arises from the fact that the $n$-vertex edgeless graph is the complement of the complete graph $\overline{K}n$.

Thanks for editing progressive metal pages!
Thanks a lot for editing many progressive metal-related pages. Those which you have edited are a lot better now than they used to be. Keep up the good work! --Jannex 10:21, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC) I have left you a question in the Dream Theater talk page. It's about ACOS. It's quite hard to find, so I'll put a reminder here so you'll surely find it. --Jannex 16:59, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Cheers mate... the prog pages were all severely lacking, so they needed someone to come and fix them up! --Plattopus 18:11, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)

Australian Wikipedians
Hey Plattopus, nice to meet you ;) I've moved your name up a bit in the Australian Wikipedians page (so it's alphabetic). You must had added yourself as Plattopus originally, bit it's now showing as Brad Dixon (in the P section). Hope you don't mind. Joeldixon66 04:51, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * (Replying to your message on my talk page) Thanks. I didn't know you used Wiki either - 'til I saw it on the computer one night. The other day, bored at work, I thought I'd see if I could find your username. I guessed you would have at least had some input to the Dream Theater page, sure enough - you'd written most of it! You may contribute a lot more than me (both quality & quantity), but don't forget, I started here first, and you can't beat that :D
 * P.S. Liked the one on the Mathomat ;) Joeldixon66 15:43, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I take it you're in your room right now? haha. Yes I saw that the pedia was severely lacking a Mathomat page, and who else is going to write one, honestly? :D --plattopus (talk) 15:46, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

Gigantour
Hi! Could you expand this article a little more. One of the requirements (see WP:DYK) is that items are over 1000 bytes. I know, arbitrary, but it wouldn't be fair to let your suggestion slide by when I've not posted others for the same reason. Mgm|(talk) 09:12, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * I have expanded it as much as possible, but since it has only just been announced it's hard to find things to write. :D I hope this is more to your liking. [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|30px|]] plattopusis this thing on? 11:48, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

Your signature
I went vote on some FAC articles today, and, man, that's one distracting sig you've got! The first thing that strikes me on every vote is "Plattopus voted, I see"—or did not, as the case may be. I'm not sure exactly why it's so noticeable—I'll admit it doesn't blink, flash, or play "Waltzin' Matilda"—but I really find it so. Perhaps it's something to do with the dark, full color, because light-colored or pastel images in sigs don't seem to jump out at me in that way. OTOH, I do believe using images in sigs is discouraged in any case, because they're server hogs, though I can't seem to find the page about it. Anyway, could you please think about whether you could manage without it? Best wishes,--Bishonen|talk 20:56, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * OK. plattopusis this thing on? 05:42, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I appreciate it!--Bishonen|talk 07:24, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Dream Theater references
Hi again, Plattopus, sorry about the anal retentive reference formattery nagging on FAC. I do that kind of thing in real life—too much—I swear the red pencil just comes out without my own volition sometimes. If you're in accord with my suggestions and would like me to implement them, please drop me a line (and leave the URL's for the magazine articles somewhere I can find them). Best, Bishonen | talk 00:37, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Nah mate it's all good... we're all here for the same reason. Although, I have only followed the directions on Cite Sources, and the magazines that I have used as references do not have websites. I'm not sure what to do about it, but I'm open to any suggestions. plattopusis this thing on? 18:02, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * I've replied on FAC. If we still don't click, maybe you could write an appeal there for somebody else to weigh in? I'm very ready to believe it's me, and also I'd kind of rather spend my online time on other stuff. Arguments about references are too much like RL to have a lot of charm for me. Bishonen | talk 18:57, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I just had no idea what you meant, that's all. I hope you don't think I'm being stubborn with you (why on Earth would we need someone else to weigh in?), I'm just following what people tell me to do. I don't see this as an argument... I just get a whole lot of different opinions and can't accept them all. plattopusis this thing on? 06:45, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * No, no, I just meant somebody else might, hopefully, have more of a gift for making these things clear than I do. I don't actually think you are getting different opinions, you know (except for the suggestion that you must have printed sources, which is just wrong, as I hope you gathered from Mav's reply). It's more that this ad hoc way of getting them can be confusing, and Cite sources isn't what I'd call a very pedagogical document, either. Anyway, I've withdrawn my objections (though I don't withdraw my suggestions!), they're hardly worth all this.--Bishonen | talk 09:15, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Re: FAC: Dream Theater
Hey plattopus,

I have already added my support to the DT article - almost a week ago, actually. :) I hope you can get things sorted with that other user - don't let it get to you.

--Durga2112 17:01, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Well done! :D  I guess this puts Dream Theater in with some pretty lofty company.  :)  --Durga2112 02:21, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Van Halen Review

 * Hi, I noticed you had made some comments on the Van Halen article back in April. I am busy updating it and would appreciate it if you could look it over again.  I would like to submit this article for FAC soon.  Thanks.  --Chevan 01:27, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Dream Theater template on side project pages
First of all: Congrats on lifting the Dream Theater article to feature status. It's a great article indeed, absolutely among the best written band related articles on the wiki. Secondly: Although I am myself a huge fan of Dream Theater's work (check out the photos of me hanging with the guys here, scroll down to near the bottom), I cannot see the reason why the huge Dream Theater template you have made should be included in the articles of DT-related side projects, or even past members of the band. The way I see it, this template belongs only in the Dream Theater article, and serves only to clutter up every other article in which it is included. In the cases of former members, a listing of albums that the member in question has participated on will suffice.

There is no point in having Dream Theater's current and past lineup, discography and videography listed at the bottom of, say, the article about Platypus. That is why I in my re-writing of that article removed the Dream Theater template. I also suggest that the template should be removed from the following articles: Jelly Jam, LTE, Mullmuzzler, OSI, TransAtlantic, Charlie Dominici, Kevin Moore and Derek Sherinian. Lappado 00:16, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm happy with that. I see your point, I guess it really is only suitable for the main Dream Theater article and its current members/releases. [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|30px]] plattopustalk 05:08, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for taking care of it, the articles look alot cleaner now. And I do agree that the template belongs on current members and DT releases articles. It makes navigating quite much easier, and it's a good looking template when used in relevant articles. Keep up the good work! Lappado 02:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Soundgarden template
Nice job on the Soundgarden template. It looks really good and the funny thing was that yesterday i was gonna ask you if you could make the Soundgarden one like the rest. -- Jobe 6   01:32, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! If you find any other similar templates that could do with a spruce-up, let me know! [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|30px]] plattopustalk 11:43, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

Prog bands
I've been working on improving some of the prog band pages. I've added albums for Jelly Jam, Platypus, Shadow Gallery, Chroma Key, and Fates Warning, just to name a few. Please feel free to tweak them, I tend to get just spurts of time now and then so I would welcome the help. BTW, your Dream Theater work is wonderful! Great work, keep it up, and let me know if I can help you any. Justabaldguy 05:16, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Excellent, great to see someone picking up where I left off (I haven't been doing much Wiki-editing of late, I've been busy with other stuff). If you ever need my help with anything just ask! :) [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|30px]] plattopustalk 05:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I sure will! I understand about doing "other stuff," sometimes it seems that's all I ever get done! Justabaldguy 03:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Alright, I have a question for you: what's the best way to get pictures of album covers? I don't want to risk violating a copyright... any ideas or suggestions?Justabaldguy 03:13, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * As far as I'm aware, all album artwork comes under fair use (just use the tag when you upload it), so you can find a copy anywhere and use it without fear of retribution. I find a Google image search is usually the quickest and easiest way of finding album covers - and it doesn't matter where you take it from, generally any internet site that hosts album covers doesn't actually have copyright of the image, so they can't come after you. [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|30px]] plattopustalk 06:58, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Awake
Thanks for the help on the track listing for DT's Awake. It needed adjusting and I couldn't think of the word "index" to describe what you see when it's in CD player! Justabaldguy 03:43, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Octavarium on Faq
Currently there is no content on dtfaq.com about the Octavarium Album (either that or my computer isn't displaying it for absolutely no reason). If you need some info I found a nice Website with alot of info. Good luck with the Faq. - Gelsamel 203.208.71.49 03:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Caction tool
I'm pleased to inform you that my caction tool v2 is now released. To update to the new version, replace the link to the old version in your monobook.js with
 * User:Haza-w/cactions.js

The reason I can't replace the old version is that the new one doesn't quite work for admins, and I'm still waiting for assistance before I completely roll it out.

Tell me what you think of it. If there are any bugs, then let me know, including your browser version in the report. Thanks, and I hope you like the new version!  haz  (user talk) e 15:34, 17 March 2006

Australian flag in your signature
You use the Australian flag in your signature, right? If you do, you're going to start having to use Image:Flag of Australia.svg, as the one you use right now (which is a png) is considered redundant and is facing deletion. Don't worry about replacing the uses with the png image, because my bot is sorting through that. —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 23:04, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I changed my signature to use the SVG version when I noticed your bot changing all instances of the PNG. Cheers for the heads up! [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|30px]] plattopustalk 03:46, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Genesis PR
Hi Plattopus, the Genesis article is currently being peer reviewed. I like the article as it stands now but this is my first major overhaul of a music related article so I could definately use your insight and guidance in improving its quality. Any suggestions and recommendations you can provide will be greatly appreciated! Link: Peer review/Genesis (band)/archive1. AreJay 21:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

R.E.M. template
We not long ago just finished a huge (time-wise) disagreement about the aesthetics of the template and had decided that a mediating admin's edit was good for all. With that, I'm going to revert your edits to it. (Since then, I exchanged the vertical-line dividers in favour of dots, but the issue was the size of the template itself.) - Dudesleeper 11:36, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I read the Talk page discussion and didn't change any of the actual content in the template. I simply changed the middots (which didn't even display in my browser) to pipes (which display everywhere). The only other change I made was to link format names (album, soundtrack, etc) and change the heirarchy of the band members. I understand your only gripe is with the band members, so why did you revert the entire change instead of just that individual element? I'm going to re-revert it and insert the old-style band member section. [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|30px]] plattopustalk 12:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Nah, my main gripe is the unsightly edit shortcuts for the lazy, but if everyone else can deal with them, I shall try too. - Dudesleeper 13:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Unsightly? In my opinion they're very valuable. Templates are a bitch to modify/discuss if you don't know what you're doing... it took me forever to figure out I had to manually type in the Template:TmplName into the URL to view/edit templates. It just makes it easier for newbies to figure out they can change templates as well as articles. You're welcome to put it to a vote if you like, or at least get some outside opinions.

Progressive issues
I've seen you are very great in the progressive world. While ago I've started the Enchant article, and since then, no one has helped by improving it. So, it will be nice from you to check it, and improve it too. Thank you. --Λeternus 21:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Dream theater majesty.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dream theater majesty.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This is an automated message from BJBot 15:09, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Mathomat
I have added a "" template to the article Mathomat, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. timrem 03:50, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Katie holmes promo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Katie holmes promo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Pagra shtak  03:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Doug Hepburn

Douglas Ivan Hepburn (September 16, 1926 – November 22, 2000) was a Canadian strongman and weightlifter. He won weightlifting gold medals in the 1953 World Weightlifting Championships as well as the 1954 British Empire Games in the heavyweight division. He is also known as the first man to bench press 400, 450, 500, and 550 pounds (raw). During the 1950s he was publicly known as the "world's strongest man" for his many feats of strength. Hepburn has been inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame (1953), Canada's Sports Hall of Fame (1955), and the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame (1966).

Early life
Born in Vancouver with a deformity to his right foot (club foot) and a vision distortion called esotropia (cross-eyes), Hepburn had to go through surgery multiple times during his childhood. He began lifting weights as a high school teenager at the Vancouver YMCA, and upon dropping out of school, tried to find work that he could balance with his lifting. Having escaped the Second World War because of his foot, he set about becoming the strongest man in the world.

Weightlifting
Hepburn entered competition in 1948, and set an unofficial Canadian record (300 lbs. clean & press) at his first competition. He took the U.S. Open title in 1947, by pressing 345 lbs. Hepburn set another Canadian weightlifting record in 1950 and went on to win a gold medal at the 1953 World Weightlifting Championships in Stockholm with a 1030 lbs Olympic 3-lift-total. After years of trying to attract public interest, the win in Stockholm had finally catapulted him into the media spotlight. During his preparations for the 1954 British Empire Games in his hometown of Vancouver, the whole city got behind him, and he was given $150 a week while training in a gym by then-mayor Fred Hume. At the Games, Hepburn would claim another weightlifting gold medal in the heavyweight division by lifting a total of 1040 lbs (370 lbs press - 300 lbs snatch - 370 lbs clean & jerk) to set a new Games record becoming a Canadian national hero. He was awarded the Lou Marsh Trophy in 1953 and was named British Columbia's Man of the Year for 1954.

Personal weightlifting records

 * Clean and press - 381 lbs
 * Snatch - 300 lbs
 * Clean and jerk - 383 lbs

Strongman
While training for the weightlifting championships, Hepburn performed as a strongman at two to three shows a week across Canada, ripping licence plates, crushing cans of oil, and lifting weights with his baby finger, as well as more traditional lifting: shoulder presses, squats, bench presses, two-handed curls. His accomplishments as a strongman were nothing short of astounding. Some of Hepburn's career best lifts include:

 * Clean and Press 381 pounds (173 kg)
 * Press off the Rack: 450 pounds (204.5 kg)
 * Push Press off the Rack: 500 pounds (227 kg)
 * One-Arm Military Press: 200 pounds (91 kg), and 37 reps with 120 pounds (54.5 kg)
 * Two-Hand Barbell Curl: 260 pounds (118 kg)
 * Bench Press: 580 pounds (263.5 kg)
 * Squat: 800 pounds (363 kg)
 * Deadlift: 800 pounds (363 kg)
 * Crucifix: 110-pound (50 kg) dumbbells in each hand
 * One-Arm Side Hold-Out: 120 pounds (54.5 kg)
 * One-Arm Side Press: 250 pounds (113.5 kg)

Hepburn also became the first man in history to bench press 400, 450, 500, and 550 pounds. He set a series of bench press world records in the early 1950s: In November 1950 he pressed 400 lbs (181.82 kg), in 1951 he pressed 450 lbs (204.55 kg), and finally 500 lbs (227.27 kg) in December 1953.

Like his father and stepfather, Hepburn battled with alcoholism and consequently experienced depression. After his triumphs in the early 1950s, he became a professional wrestler for a brief period of time.

Wrestling
After his successes as a weightlifter, he became a professional wrestler. He was originally approached by San Francisco-based wrestling promoter Joe Malcewicz, but Hepburn turned down the offer. He later got involved in the business when he agreed to perform feats of strength at wrestling events promoted by Whipper Billy Watson and Toronto promoter Frank Tunney.

In December 1954, he signed what was announced as a five-year contract with Tunney. After being trained by Watson and Pat Fraley, Hepburn defeated Frank Marconi in his debut match on March 27, 1955. He later wrestled Yukon Eric and Fritz Von Erich and partnered with Antonino Rocca and Watson. Hepburn quit working for Tunney in 1956; he had one more brief stint as a wrestler while working for Cliff Parker in British Columbia before retiring.

Personal life
Hepburn was a singer and songwriter, releasing a Christmas tune, the "Hepburn Carol". He had literary ambitions and had a large output of essays and poems and other writings. At the age of 37, Hepburn opened his own gym. In his later years, he custom built gym equipment and marketed protein powder and other sports supplements. Hepburn suffered from alcoholism and was concerned about his health so became a vegetarian in the mid-1970s. He died of a perforated ulcer at age 74.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kewlers

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. 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 KEEP. Gargaj 12:12, 2005 Feb 26 (UTC)

As of 12:12, 2005 Feb 26 (UTC), the votes are: 11 keeps (discarding SKissel's vote - sorry scamp, that's the law here), 1 delete. Clean and nice consensus to keep. // Gargaj 12:12, 2005 Feb 26 (UTC)

Kewlers
Even if demo groups were notable, this one looks too wannabe to be so. Radiant! 13:09, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * Horribly wrong. Strong keep. Those awards aren't jokes, they DID win a major CG festival. // Gargaj 18:31, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC) Edit: cite reference Edit: Since you all love Google (the name is unique)

 * EXTREME KEEP. As was already noted in this article, Kewlers have won several awards including the International Scene Organization's "2003 scene.org awards", the most prestigious award one can receive and the analogous equivalent to the Academy Awards for the demoscene. They were also the single most nominated group for the recently announced (as of this month) 2004 scene.org awards.  Did you get the memo?  Next time just fucking google it and not waste everyones time with ANOTHER wholly unwarranted vfd.   —RaD Man (talk) 19:06, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment, Hey RaD, man, google is not the only test.  For example, there is Alexa, which seems to indicate that many of these demoscene web sites are pretty obscure.  If scene.org has an Alexa rank of 215,000, being absolutely the most famous dudes on that site isn't very convincing.  There is also Google Groups, which has only 39 hits for "Kewlers" .  You obviously think the demoscene is notable and confers notability on its leading figures; but other people are entitled to disagree.  So, chill, please; be a bit civil, and stop trying to force your opinion through on bluster. --BM 21:04, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * RaD Man is only following suit - VfD something on Wiki and everyone will attack/defend it with Google hit stats. (I know it's silly, but still it's a fact that they do it and this is the best precaution.) About the Alexa ranking: True. It's low compared to e.g. Slashdot. But count the number of websites on that ranking and you'll see that actually it isn't bad at all compared to a repository-site. // Gargaj 21:41, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC)
 * Comment -- Regardless of what is on Google, news sites, and other references, it should really all depend on if the demoscene is notable enough to be on Wikipedia. Zzyzx11 21:45, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe it only looks only "too wannabe to be so" because there are only membership- and release-listings, some describing text about what the group does would be good. MadenMann
 * FYI: According to the page history, this comment was made by 212.202.210.221. Zzyzx11 21:35, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah right. Because I still don't have an own account (the reason for my "neutrality" here and on other VfDs). For correcting mistakes I was never in a need of one. MadenMann @ 04:45 UTC+1 with the same IP as above.
 * MadenMann— Your demoscene edits are no doubt valuable contribs to Wikipedia, why not just log in with an actual user account so your votes will be considered at the close of vfd? —RaD Man (talk) 07:27, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * keep keep keep keep. i have no clue where you get it from that is looks "wannabe", radiant. it's informative and simple. -kusma
 * FYI: According to the page history, this comment was made by 195.18.161.22. Zzyzx11 21:35, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * delete. "numerous awards" from a marginally notable awarder. Mikkalai 21:26, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, though I might be willing to vote keep if there were some sort of introductory paragraph providing a description and context about all these meaningless lists. Gamaliel 21:31, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Like this? // Gargaj 23:09, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC)
 * Much better. Changing my vote to a weak keep based on the awards. I will note that I think this was a perfectly legitimate vfd listing given the sad state of the article at the time and once again lament the lack of civility on vfd. Gamaliel 23:29, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. This article was in much better shape than many of the botanical sub-stubs I've been marking recently (which are, for the most part, being kept).  BM also raises an interesting point: What "test" must an article pass in order for an article to be kept?  Kewlers for example receives 2830 hits .  Is that not enough?  Must it also achieve a high number of Alexa points on an awards site which it is not directly related to?  How do demoscene groups compare in notability in contrast to, for example, internet memes?  No vote. GRider\talk 23:45, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete . Possibly merge useful info into a demoscene article. Carrp | Talk 22:04, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm changing my vote to keep. This article is much better now. I like when that happens. Carrp | Talk 04:56, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but with reservations. Needs cleanup and expansion. Megan1967 00:27, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the myopia shown by the average deletionist tells me i'm in the wrong profession. How much does it take to go thru optometry school? does anyone know? Kewlers not only is one of the top 5 demo groups currently in the demoscene but several members are responsible for a good portion of the CGI coming out of hollywood these days as well.  ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 08:00, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * An ad hominem doesn't actually substantiate anything. Radiant! 10:10, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if the article actually mentioned those things, but of course we're already supposed to know that ahead of time, and if we don't, we're hopelessly myopic deletionists. Gamaliel 08:12, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Gamaliel— It already mentions that they're receiving the lion's share of nominations at this year's scene.org awards. You don't need to know it ahead of time, I already spelled it out for you.  If you opt to discount this annual awards show as "marginally notable", that's your call.  As I understand it, an award from the scene.org awards is the highest honor you can receive within the demoscene.  —RaD Man (talk) 08:47, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * several members are responsible for a good portion of the CGI coming out of hollywood these days as well - Whaaaaat? I didn't know that. Goddamn, those KWL guys never tell us anything like that. :D // Gargaj 22:44, 2005 Feb 19 (UTC)
 * I only found that out purely by accident after talking to one of the iCE guys doing similar work.  ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 04:54, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * See that's the problem. A demo group is actually a group of people who think they're great and release small (or large) graphical/musical demos to tell the world how great they are. I do believe that the demoscene is notable only to people who are part of it. That is not particularly encyclopedic. The fact that they have an internal contest does not make them notable. I don't think I've ever seen them mentioned on TV or in newspapers. Radiant! 10:10, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * No, you are wrong. Perhaps you have "demo group" confused with "rap group".  The purpose of a demo is artistic expression.  The purpose of a cracktro is self-promotion. Kewlers produces demos, not cracktros.  There are books written about the demoscene, a DVD which contains a mini-documentary  as well as several academic papers written on the subject of demos, demoparties, and the culture of the demoscene.      Now get reading.   —RaD Man (talk) 10:28, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * You don't exactly see, say, Gabber or Death grunting on TV or newspapers (NOT magazines) either I presume. Besides, if it wasn't for the demoscene, you wouldn't have 3DMark, Max Payne or .kkrieger. So as Lenin once said, "Learn, Learn, Learn!" // Gargaj 15:37, 2005 Feb 19 (UTC)
 * Keep. Decent article on the demoscene. --Andylkl 11:47, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I prefer demoscene-cruft over digimon cruft any day. Grue 12:13, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep They've released very notable art. -- SKissel 19:06, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * User's only edits are to this and one other vfd discussion.
 * Does it make a difference? I think the votes clearly show a consensus. // Gargaj 14:37, 2005 Feb 23 (UTC)
 * Keep, I don't really understand how this article came to be listed on VfD. It doesn't meet any of the criteria on Deletion policy. Dan100 19:43, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. The expanation is that the nominator and some of the voters disagree with you: is that really so difficult to understand?  --BM 13:17, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Reason was suspected vanity. That is a valid criterium. However, per the recent improvements, and Radman's explanation, I'll vote to Keep it. Radiant! 14:19, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * keep Yuckfoo 04:09, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
