Statement of complaint
Since joining Wikipedia last June, User:WikiUser has consistently engaged in a pattern of personal attacks and other deliberately disruptive behavior, including repeated reversions of articles, refusal to abide by Wikipedia policies and Wikiquette, and making strongly POV edits. He consistently refuses to compromise and refuses to enter into civilized dialogue with other editors with whom he disagrees. He also constantly accuses others of making personal attacks, including that they are "Nazis", "racists", "stalkers" and "fascists" and are guilty of "discrimination" against him. He spends most of his time complaining about his supposed wrongful treatment or attacking editors in often crude personal terms.

He has repeatedly made legal threats against users and the "Wikipedia Foundation" (sic) and has made several frivolous attempts to invoke mediation and arbitration procedures against users who have questioned his conduct. He has been temporarily banned on several occasions and his conduct criticised by many editors and administrators, including Jimbo Wales himself, but his conduct does not appear to have been improved in the process. He has also recently extended his activities to serial vandalism of articles on the Simple English Wikipedia, apparently in retaliation for edits by User:Netoholic with which he disagreed.

A full description of events is at Requests for comment/WikiUser; summary evidence is at /Evidence.

Eochaid Faebar Glas

Eochaid Faebar Glas, son of Conmáel, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. His epithet means "blue-green sharp edge". According to the Lebor Gabála Érenn, Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn and the Annals of the Four Masters, he came to power after killing the joint High King, Cermna Finn, in battle at Dún Cermna (Downmacpatrick in Kinsale, County Cork), and Cermna's brother and colleague Sobairce was killed by Eochaid Menn of the Fomorians (another version of the Lebor Gabála says he came to power at the end of a seven-year interregnum following the death of Tigernmas). He killed Smirgoll, grandson of Tigernmas, in the battle of Druimm Liatháin. He ruled for twenty years, until he was killed by Smirgoll's son Fiacha Labrainne in the battle of Carman. The Lebor Gabála synchronises his reign with that of Piritiades in Assyria. Keating's chronology dates his reign to 1115–1095 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1493–1473 BC.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:13, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Most of the pianists in this category are classical pianists. There are separate categories for classical, jazz and pop pianists. I am willing to do the spade work of shifting the articles into "XXXXXXX classical pianists" categories, or elsewhere as appropriate. This category could then be deleted. Any comments?

Fíachu Labrainne

Fíachu Labhrainne, son of Smirgoll, son of Enboth, son of Tigernmas, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He came to power by killing the previous incumbent, Eochaid Faebar Glas, in the battle of Carman, in vengeance for his father, who had been killed by Eochaid in the battle of Druimm Liatháin. He was named after the river Labrainn, which burst from the ground during his reign. He fought a sea battle against the descendants of Éber Finn, and fought a battle against the Érainn at Mag Genainn in County Fermanagh, which resulted in Loch Erne bursting from the ground. In another battle he killed Eochaid's son Mofebis. Mofebis's son Eochu Mumu killed him in vengeance in the battle of Sliab Belgatain. Geoffrey Keating adds that during his reign, his son Aengus Olmucada conquered Scotland. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with those of Piritiades and Ofratalus in Assyria. The chronology of Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 1095–1071 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1473–1449 BC.

Bobby Flay

Robert William Flay (born December 10, 1964) is an American celebrity chef, food writer, restaurateur, and reality television personality. Flay is the owner and executive chef of several restaurants and franchises, including Bobby's Burger Palace, Bobby's Burgers, and Amalfi. He has worked with Food Network since 1995, which won him four Daytime Emmy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Early life
Flay was born on December 10, 1964, in New York City to Bill and Dorothy Barbara (McGuirk) Flay. He was raised on the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. He is a fourth generation Irish American and was raised Catholic, attending denominational schools.

At age 8, Flay asked for an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas. His father thought that a G.I. Joe would be more gender-appropriate. Despite his father's objections, he received them both.

Career
Flay dropped out of high school at age 17. He has said his first jobs in the restaurant industry were at a pizza parlor and Baskin-Robbins. He then took a position making salads at Joe Allen Restaurant in Manhattan's Theater District, where his father was a partner. The proprietor, Joe Allen, was impressed by Flay's natural ability and agreed to pay his partner's son's tuition at the French Culinary Institute.

Flay received a degree in culinary arts and was a member of the first graduating class of the French Culinary Institute in 1984. After culinary school, he started working as a sous-chef, quickly learning the culinary arts. At the Brighton Grill on Third Avenue, Flay was handed the executive chef's position after a week when the executive chef was fired. Flay quit when he realized he was not ready to run a kitchen. He took a position as a chef working for restaurateur Jonathan Waxman at Bud and Jams. Waxman introduced Flay to southwestern and Cajun cuisine, which came to define his culinary career.

After working for a short time on the floor at the American Stock Exchange, Flay returned to the kitchen as the executive chef at Miracle Grill in the East Village, where he worked from 1988 to 1990. He caught the attention of restaurateur Jerome Kretchmer, who was looking for a southwestern-style chef. Impressed by Flay's food, Kretchmer offered him the position of executive chef at Mesa Grill, which opened on January 15, 1991. Shortly after, he became a partner. In November 1993, Flay partnered with Laurence Kretchmer to open Bolo Bar & Restaurant in the Flatiron District, just a few blocks away from Mesa Grill.

Flay opened a second Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in 2004, and in 2005 he opened Bar Americain, an American Brasserie, in Midtown Manhattan. He continued to expand his restaurants by opening Bobby Flay Steak in the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This was followed by a third Mesa Grill in the Bahamas, located in The Cove at Atlantis Paradise Island, which opened on March 28, 2007. The Las Vegas Mesa Grill earned Flay his only Michelin Star in 2008, which was taken away in the 2009 edition. Michelin did not publish a 2010 or 2011 Las Vegas edition, so the star could not be re-earned.

Bolo Bar & Restaurant closed its doors on December 31, 2007, to make way for a condominium.

Aside from his restaurants and television shows, Flay has been a master instructor and visiting chef at the French Culinary Institute. Although he is not currently teaching classes, he occasionally visits when his schedule permits.

Flay established the Bobby Flay Scholarship in 2003. This full scholarship to the French Culinary Institute is awarded annually to a student in the Long Island City Culinary Arts Program. Flay personally helps select the awardee each year.

Flay opened Bobby's Burger Palace (BBP) in Lake Grove, Long Island, on July 15, 2008. The restaurant is located at the Smith Haven Mall. A second location opened on December 5, 2008, at the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, New Jersey, and a third location opened March 31, 2009, in The Outlets at Bergen Town Center in Paramus, New Jersey. His fourth shop opened at the Mohegan Sun Casino in southeast Connecticut on July 1, 2009, which is also the location of his second Bar Americain, which opened on November 18, 2009. His fifth location of the burger chain opened in Philadelphia's University City on April 6, 2010. The sixth location of Bobby's Burger Palace opened in Washington, D.C., at 2121 K Street in Northwest on August 16, 2011. On December 5, 2011, Flay opened the ninth location of Bobby's Burger Palace in Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, New York. Flay opened the tenth and largest Bobby's Burger Palace site at Maryland Live! Casino in Hanover, Maryland, on June 7, 2012. Bobby's Burger Palace also has an 11th location, in College Park, Maryland. In total, BBP has nineteen locations in eleven states and the District of Columbia.

The original Mesa Grill in New York closed in September 2013 following a proposed rent increase by the landlord.

In May 2021, Mesa Grill in Caesars Palace was converted to an Italian restaurant called Amalfi by Bobby Flay. He also updated the menu and changed the name of his Las Vegas Bobby's Burger Palace to Bobby's Burgers. He now has four locations of Bobby's Burgers in Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Paris Hotel Las Vegas, Harrah's Las Vegas, and Yankee Stadium in New York City

As of September 2019, Flay has an estimated net worth of $30 million.

On Throwdown! with Bobby Flay, the chef challenges cooks renowned for a specific dish or type of cooking to a cook-off of their signature dish. Flay was an Iron Chef on the show Iron Chef America. In 2000, when the original Iron Chef show traveled to New York for a special battle, he challenged Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto to battle rock crab. After the hour battle ended, Flay stood on top of his cutting board and raised his arms in what one journalist wrote was "premature victory". As Morimoto felt that real chefs consider cutting boards and knives sacred, and being offended by Flay's flamboyant gesture, he criticized his professionalism, saying that Flay was "not a chef". Flay went on to lose the battle. Flay challenged Morimoto to a rematch in Morimoto's native Japan. This time, Flay won.

On a special episode of Iron Chef America originally airing on November 12, 2006, Flay and Giada De Laurentiis faced off against, and were defeated by, Batali and Rachael Ray. This was the highest rated show ever broadcast on Food Network. Flay and Michael Symon defeated the team of Iron Chefs Cat Cora and Masaharu Morimoto in a special episode titled "Thanksgiving Showdown," which originally aired on November 16, 2008. In an episode recorded in July 2010 and broadcast in March 2011, Montreal cooking show host Chuck Hughes beat Flay to become the youngest Canadian champ.

Beat Bobby Flay pits select chefs against host Flay to see if they can create dishes that are better than his.

His specials include: In October 2021, Variety reported that Flay would leave Food Network after a 27-year run, after he and the network failed to reach an agreement on a new contract. People reported that Flay had sought $100 million as part of the proposal. In November 2021, it was reported that Flay had signed a new three-year deal with Food Network.

Óengus Olmucaid

Óengus Olmucaid (or Aengus Olmucada), son of Fíachu Labrainne, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. During the reign of his father, he conquered Scotland. He came to power by killing the incumbent High King, Eochu Mumu, who had killed his father twenty-one years earlier. He fought many battles against the Cruithne, the Fir Bolg, the Fomorians and other peoples of Ireland, the people of the Orkney islands, and even the Longobardi. He was killed by Enna Airgdech, son of Eochu Mumu, in the battle of Carman, continuing the feud between the descendants of Erimon and Éber Finn. Geoffrey Keating, who interprets his epithet as meaning "great hogs", dates his reign to 1050–1032 BC, the Annals of the Four Masters to 1428–1410 BC.

Kempten

Kempten (, (Swabian German: )) is the largest town of Allgäu, in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany. The population was about 68,000 in 2016. The area was possibly settled originally by Celts, but was later taken over by the Romans, who called the town Cambodunum. Kempten is the oldest urban settlement (town) in Germany.

Pre-Roman
The Greek geographer Strabo mentions in 50 BC a town of the Celtic Estiones named Kambodunon. This is considered the oldest written reference of any German city. So far no archaeological evidence could be found that this Celtic settlement really existed.

Roman era
In 15 BC Roman troops led by Nero Claudius Drusus and his brother Tiberius conquered and destroyed an existing Celtic settlement. Later the settlement was named Cambodunum. In the following years the city was rebuilt on a classical Roman city plan with baths, forum and temples. Initially in wood, the city was later rebuilt in stone after a devastating fire that destroyed almost the entire city in the year 69 AD. The city possibly served as provincial capital of Raetia during the first century before Augsburg took over this role. Extensive archaeological excavations at the end of the 19th century and again during the 1950s at what were then the outskirts of Kempten unearthed the extensive structural foundations.

The city was again destroyed in 233 AD by the Alemanni, a Suebic tribe. The original site of Cambodunum was then abandoned and the settlement moved to a strategically safer location on the Burghalde hill overlooking the river Iller.

In the middle of the 5th century the last Roman troops had left the area and the city was entirely taken over by the Alemanni.

Middle Ages
After the Romans abandoned the settlement, it was moved from the hill down to the plains located next to the river Iller. In written sources, the town appears as Cambidano. Being still predominantly Alemannic, the town once more was destroyed by the Franks in 683 as a consequence of the city's support of an uprising against the Frankish kingdom.

Around 700 a monastery — Kempten Abbey — was built, the first in the Allgäu region, founded by two Benedictine monks from the Abbey of Saint Gall, Magnus von Füssen and Theodor. This new monastery's first abbot  was one Audogar. Through the financial and lobbyist support of Charlemagne’s wife Hildegard, an Allemannic princess, the monastery came to be one of the most privileged of the Frankish Empire.

After the abbey had several times been ravaged by the Magyars, the Prince-Bishop of Augsburg, Ulrich of Augsburg, who was also Abbot of Kempten, began the rebuilding of both the monastery and the city in 941.

In 1213, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II declared the abbots members of the Reichstag and granted the Abbot of Kempten the right to bear the title of Duke. However in 1289, King Rudolf I of Germany also granted special privileges to the urban settlement in the river valley, making it the Free Imperial City of Kempten. In 1525 the last property rights held by the abbots in the Imperial City were sold in the so-called "Great Purchase", marking the start of the co-existence of two independent cities next to each other, each bearing the same name. More conflict arose in 1527 after the Imperial City converted to Protestantism in direct opposition to the Catholic monastery (and Free City).

Renaissance and Baroque to Modern Age
During the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War (1632–33), both cities were destroyed by the imperial forces and the Swedish troops respectively.

In 1652 Roman Giel of Gielsberg, the Abbot of Kempten, commissioned the architects Michael Beer and Johann Serro from Graubünden to build St. Lorenz Basilica as a new church to serve the parish and monastery, including a representative residence for the Duke-Abbots. This is acknowledged as the first large church built in Germany after the end of the Thirty Years' War.

During the Napoleonic Wars the Dukedom-Abbey and Imperial City came under Bavarian rule (1802–03). Finally, in 1819, the two rival cities were united into a single communal entity.

The city was the location of two subcamps of the Dachau concentration camp during World War II, each with about 700 inmates.

Claude (Claudius) Honoré Desiré Dornier born in Kempten im Allgäu (May 14, 1884 - December 5, 1969) was a German aircraft engineer and founder of Dornier GmbH. His legacy remains in the few aircraft named after him, including the Dornier Do 18 and the 12-engine Dornier Do X flying boat, for decades the world's largest and most powerful airplane.

Transport
Kempten is well connected with the region through the A 7 autobahn (Würzburg–Ulm–Füssen). Bundesstraßen B 12 (partly as A 980 autobahn), B 19 and B 309 also intersect in Kempten.

The city is on the Buchloe–Lindau railway, opened as part of the Ludwig South-North Railway in 1852, and Kempten station currently boasts good InterCity and EuroCity rail connections.

The city bus system is operated by Kemptener Verkehrsbetriebe, which operates over 20 lines.

Education
The Kempten University of Applied Sciences started in the winter semester of 1978–79 with 89 students and since then expanded and now accommodates more than 2800 students in eight degree courses:
 * Business Administration
 * Computer Science
 * Electrical Engineering
 * Industrial Engineering – Electronic and Information Technology
 * Industrial Engineering – Mechanical Engineering with Distribution Management or Information Technology
 * Mechanical Engineering
 * Social Management
 * Tourism and Hospitality Management

There are also three college preparatory schools, called Gymnasium, (Allgäu-Gymnasium, Hildegardis-Gymnasium, Carl-von-Linde-Gymnasium) offering secondary education to the entire region of the Allgäu.

Sport and leisure
The association football team FC Kempten play at the Illerstadion, which is also used for athletics. It is located on Illerdamm 10. The stadium used to have a motorcycle speedway track and hosted the final of the 1965 Speedway World Team Cup. An American football team called the Allgäu Comets also use the stadium.

Eugene B. Fluckey

Eugene Bennett Fluckey (October 5, 1913 – June 28, 2007), nicknamed "Lucky Fluckey", was a United States Navy rear admiral who received the Medal of Honor and four Navy Crosses during his service as a submarine commander in World War II.

Early life
Fluckey was born in Washington, D.C., on October 5, 1913. He graduated from Western High School in Washington at age 15. He was too young to go to college, so his father sent him to the Mercersburg Academy in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. He also was a member of the Boy Scouts, achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. He prepared for the Naval Academy at Columbian Preparatory School, Washington.

U.S. Navy career
Fluckey entered the United States Naval Academy on June 13, 1931, graduated and was commissioned an Ensign on June 6, 1935. One of his classmates was Samuel Adams.

His initial assignments with the Navy were aboard the battleship USS Nevada (BB-36), and in May 1936 he was transferred to the destroyer USS McCormick (DD-223). In June 1938, he reported for instruction at the Submarine School, New London, Connecticut, and upon completion in December, he served on the submarine USS S-42 (SS-153), and in June 1941, he was assigned to the submarine USS Bonita (SS-165).

World War II
He completed five war patrols on the Bonita and after he was detached from the submarine in June 1942, he returned to Annapolis for graduate instruction in naval engineering. In December 1943, he attended the Prospective Commanding Officer's School at the Submarine Base New London until January 1944, then reported to Commander Submarine Force, Pacific Fleet. After one war patrol as the prospective commanding officer of the submarine USS Barb (SS-220), he became the submarine's seventh commander in January 1944 to August 1945. Fluckey established himself as one of the greatest submarine skippers, credited with the second most tonnage sunk by a U.S. Naval skipper during World War II (after Richard O'Kane) at 179,700 tons : to include 25 ships including a carrier, cruiser, and frigate.

In one of the more unusual incidents in the war, Fluckey sent a landing party ashore to set demolition charges on a coastal railway line on Sakhalin Island (then part of Japan's Karafuto Prefecture), destroying a 16-car train. This was the sole landing by U.S. military forces on the Japanese home islands during World War II. Fluckey ordered that this landing party be composed of crewmen from every division on his submarine. "He chose an eight-man team with no married men to blow up the train", Captain Max Duncan said, who served as Torpedo Officer on the Barb during this time. "He also wanted former Boy Scouts because he thought they could find their way back. They were paddling back to the ship when the train blew up." The selected crewmen were Paul Saunders, William Hatfield, Francis Sever, Lawrence Newland, Edward Klinglesmith, James Richard, John Markuson, and William Walker. Hatfield wired the explosive charge, using a microswitch under the rails to trigger the explosion.

Fluckey was awarded four Navy Crosses for extraordinary heroism during the eighth, ninth, tenth, and twelfth war patrols of Barb. During his famous eleventh patrol, he continued to revolutionize submarine warfare, inventing the night convoy attack from astern by joining the flank escort line. He attacked two convoys at anchor 26 mi inside the 20 fathom (37 m) curve on the China coast, totaling more than 30 ships. With two frigates pursuing, Barb set a then-world speed record for a submarine of 23.5 knots (44 km/h) using 150% overload. For his conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, Fluckey received the Medal of Honor. Barb received the Presidential Unit Citation for the eighth through eleventh patrols and the Navy Unit Commendation for the twelfth patrol.

Post-war
In August 1945, Fluckey was ordered to Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut in September, to fit out the USS Dogfish (SS-350) and to be that submarine's Commanding Officer, upon her completion. After the Dogfish's launching, however, he was transferred in November to the Office of the Secretary of the Navy to work directly for James V. Forrestal on plans for the unification of the Armed Forces. From there he went to the War Plans Division. In November 1945, he was selected by Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the incoming Chief of Naval Operations, as his personal aide. On June 9, 1947, he returned to submarines, assuming command of USS Halfbeak (SS-352) until May 1948, the second submarine to be converted to a GUPPY-type high-speed attack submarine with a snorkel. In May 1948, he was ordered to the staff of the commander of the Submarine Force U.S. Atlantic Fleet to set up the Submarine Naval Reserve Force, until July 1950.

In August 1950, he became the flag secretary to Admiral James Fife, Jr. From August 1950 until July 1953, he served as the U.S. Naval Attaché and Naval Attaché for Air to Portugal. The Portuguese government, for his distinguished service, decorated him with the Medalha de Mérito Militar, noting that this was the first time this decoration was awarded to a naval attaché of any other nation. He was the commander of Submarine Division Fifty-Two of Submarine Squadron Five from August 1953 to June 1954. In June 1954, he took command of the submarine tender USS Sperry (AS-12) until July 1955. Fluckey commanded Submarine Flotilla Seven (now Submarine Group 7) from October 14, 1955, to January 14, 1956. He then returned to the Naval Academy to become the chairman of the Electrical Engineering Department.

His selection for the rank of Rear admiral was approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in July 1960, and in October, he reported as Commander, Amphibious Group 4. In November 1961, he became the president of the Naval Board of Inspection and Survey, Washington, D.C. He was ComSubPac (Commander Submarine Force, Pacific Fleet), from June 1964 to June 1966. In July 1966, he became the Director of Naval Intelligence. Two years later, he became Chief of the Military Assistance Advisory Group, Portugal.

Fluckey retired from active duty as a Rear admiral in 1972.

Retirement and death
After he retired from the Navy in 1972, he and his wife, Marjorie, started running an orphanage in Portugal in 1974. Marjorie died in 1979, after 42 years of marriage. He married his second wife, Margaret, in 1980 and they continued to run the orphanage together until it closed in 1982. He has one daughter, Barbara.

His book, Thunder Below! published in 1992, depicts the exploits of his beloved Barb. "Though the tally shows more shells, bombs, and depth charges fired at Barb, no one received the Purple Heart and Barb came back alive, eager, and ready to fight again."

Fluckey died at age 93, from complications of Alzheimer's disease, at Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis, Maryland, on June 28, 2007. He is buried at the United States Naval Academy Cemetery.

Military awards
Fluckey's military decorations and awards include:

Medal of Honor citation
"For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as commanding officer of the U.S.S. Barb during her 11th war patrol along the east coast of China from 19 December 1944 to 15 February 1945. After sinking a large enemy ammunition ship and damaging additional tonnage during a running 2-hour night battle on 8 January, Comdr. Fluckey, in an exceptional feat of brilliant deduction and bold tracking on 25 January, located a concentration of more than 30 enemy ships in the lower reaches of Nankuan Chiang (Mamkwan Harbor). Fully aware that a safe retirement would necessitate an hour's run at full speed through the uncharted, mined, and rock-obstructed waters, he bravely ordered, 'Battle station — torpedoes!' In a daring penetration of the heavy enemy screen, and riding in 5 fathoms [9 m] of water, he launched the Barb's last forward torpedoes at 3,000 yard [2.7 km] range. Quickly bringing the ship's stern tubes to bear, he turned loose 4 more torpedoes into the enemy, obtaining 8 direct hits on 6 of the main targets to explode a large ammunition ship and cause inestimable damage by the resultant flying shells and other pyrotechnics. Clearing the treacherous area at high speed, he brought the Barb through to safety and 4 days later sank a large Japanese freighter to complete a record of heroic combat achievement, reflecting the highest credit upon Comdr. Fluckey, his gallant officers and men, and the U.S. Naval Service."

Other honors
Fluckey was awarded Eagle Scout in 1948. He is one of only eleven known Eagle Scouts who also received the Medal of Honor. The others are Aquilla J. Dyess and Mitchell Paige of the U.S. Marine Corps; Robert Edward Femoyer and Jay Zeamer Jr. of the U.S. Army Air Forces; Leo K. Thorsness of the United States Air Force; Arlo L. Olson, Benjamin L. Salomon, and Walter Joseph Marm Jr. of the United States Army; and Britt K. Slabinski and Thomas R. Norris of the U.S. Navy.

He was an honorary companion of the Maryland Commandery of the Military Order of Foreign Wars.

His book Thunder Below! was winner of the 1993 Samuel Eliot Morison Award for Naval Literature.

Evidently the page has been vandalized enough that the edit function has been removed for all but those with authority (of some degree), and I don't remember my log in information, so I can't see if I can fix this while logged in.

The sentence "In 2005, she sang two songs from the soundtrack of the movie "Alice Upside Down" Lost and Found, and Free Spirit, in which she plays the lead role." should be changed to something resembling "In 2005, she sang two songs ("Lost and Found" and "Free Spirit") from the soundtrack of the movie "Alice Upside Down," in which she plays the lead role."

Infobox Image Discussion (2021)
Can we please update her main image? We can use the one from 2019 that appears later in the article. Her previous image is from twelve years ago (back when she was still a teen), and she looks quite different now. UncomfortablySmug (talk) 06:59, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * For adults, portrait image quality is more important that "currentness". The current 2007 portrait image used in the infobox is a good portrait image – it's a headshot, and properly framed as such. The 2019 image is not a head shot, but a whole-body shot, and is not very good – IOW, it's a poor portrait image. So I oppose using the current 2019 image in the infobox – it's in the article, so it's there for anybody who wants to see a more "current" image of Stoner. If someone wants a more "current" image for the infobox, they're going to need to find an image that's an actual well-composed headshot image like the 2007 one. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:18, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * How can I find and add an image that fits Wikipedia's criteria? UncomfortablySmug (talk) 21:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That's the problem. Wikipedia usually only has a very limited selection of images for most bio subjects. When this is the case, image quality has to be prioritzed over "currentness". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Pronouns
Alyson goes by They/Them so I changed the pronouns in the wiki 😌 72.191.16.15 (talk) 01:25, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * There is no reference for that and no sourced mention in article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:16, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe past attempts at this indicated she goes by "They" or "she". If that is the case, it does not merit mentioning at all. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:11, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Also I'd like to see some reliable secondary sourcing as support with some more meat than a settings form mention on a social media site. Sufficient to support a section in the article that supports this as a considered choice and reasons for it. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:23, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * This is also what I would like to see – more than just an Instagram page. An actual independent source actually discussing this. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:56, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I just reverted a bunch of changes reinstating the they/them pronouns. I took a look, and Stoner's instagram page does indeed note 'they/them'. On the other hand, her 'Movement Genius' biog has she/they (link), her personal website uses 'she' and the gendered term 'actress', and her YouTube channel uses 'her'. So, it doesn't seem clear-cut that Stoner has a preference for they/them over she/her. Girth Summit  (blether)  11:44, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * the instagram post stating they/them was from last week and their youtube channel hasn’t been updated in a year so i think explicitly stating they/them and not she/they in a recent source and their instagram bio should be the authority here Alysonstonerpronounchanger (talk) 12:10, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * What about the other sites, like the Movement Genius biog and personal website? Have they ever spoken about this to your knowledge, in an interview or similar, or are we just going off those pronouns on the Instagram profile? Girth Summit  (blether)  13:14, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * the blog and website haven’t been updated as recently as the instagram post. what makes the post an inadequate source? requiring a secondary source, like “an interview or similar”, sets a standard wherein queer people have to formally “come out” in the form of a notable enough announcement to make news. gender identity is often a private matter and discussing it openly may not be something alyson wants to do yet or ever especially being that the decision to make their identity known to others opens them up to discrimination as the violent backlash and lack of legal protection against trans people increases daily Alysonstonerpronounchanger (talk) 23:13, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * There would be no backlash to her making an announcement and she knows that - most likely is support and positive affirmations from people. If she actually wants to keep it private we should respect that and not amplify a social media tag into a very noticeable change to her Wikipedia article. We shouldn't be taking this seriously until she herself does. When she does, that will be reflected on all her social media accounts and she would be telling people about it and why she made her choice. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:24, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Yikes, is that how this site truly operates? It comes from the persons own mouth and is their own words and that's not a valid source? RaptorGirl97 (talk) 21:37, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
 * None of which deals with the request above for something more than a social media site from Stoner on this – No change should be made without a secondary source actually discussing this. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:13, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * read my reply to girth summit Alysonstonerpronounchanger (talk) 23:13, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

 * So the person themselves has said they don't use she/her pronouns, and your answer is "I know better and demand I get a say in what they identify as? I will never understand why it is so hard for people like you do give others basic respect when THEY personally ask for it. Sorry it is so hard for you to be a decent and caring human. So How about we stick with "they" since it's not your decision. What's ridiculously confusing is your lack of concern for others. RaptorGirl97 (talk) 14:15, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I think Wikipedia is a great website that embodies the spirit of Open Source/Free Software.

I oppose deleting anything encyclopedic (however "overly detailed" it may be) that isn't spam, vanity, inaccurate / poorly written to the point that it cannot reasonably be salvaged, or illegal.

Disk space is cheap, human effort isn't. Deleting content not fitting the aforementioned criteria is a waste of it. I feel that notability should be entirely eliminated as a criterion for inclusion in Wikipedia; if something is notable enough to have properly verifiable references, it is notable enough for an encyclopedia that is unconstrained by size limitations.

Fíachu Fínscothach

Fíacha Fínscothach, son of Sétna Airt, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. His father became High King after killing the previous incumbent, Rothechtaid mac Main, in single combat at Cruachan in defence of Fíachu. Fíachu went into exile, but returned at the head of a "black fleet", and, with the assistance of Muinemón, killed his father and took the throne himself. "Flowers of wine" (Old Irish: fín, "wine"; scoth, "flower", -ach, possessive suffix, although scoth can also mean "blade" and "voice"), which were pressed into glass vats, were said to exist during his reign. He ruled for twenty years, until he was killed by his former accomplice, Muinemón. The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 975–955 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1353–1333 BC.

speedy deletion
Please do not delete this page. it is not a repost. it is fundamentally different than the views compared page, contains material not on them, contains info not on them, and is a totally different format. joshuashroeder, who moved for speedy deletion, is doing this because it pleases him to see creationists silenced instead of corrected by the overwhelming evidence for mainstream views of geology, which could easily show the flaws in creationist pseudoscience. Ungtss 01:20, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * If someone wants to compare the histories between the page removed and this page they will see that most of the material was from that page. If User:Ungtss wants to make a page based on Creation geology, let him, but to import POV material (that page was designed to present POV material in a side-by-side comparison) and pass it off as an article worthy of inclusion especially after said article was deleted is strictly against Wikipedia policy. Joshuaschroeder 06:06, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Geological Question
Arguments about the time required to generate rock folds have been brought up. A possibility that I have not seen discussed is solid rock bending in a less than aeons timeframe. In the report by Hidebumi Itō and Naoiti Kumagai, "On a New Creep Experiment of Large Granite Beam Started in 1980" and Kumagai’s “Two Findings in Long-Term On-Going Laboratory Experiments on Creep of Granite Beams by Bending” the creep of a granite bar 2150 mm long under small (2 MPa maximum pressure) loads show a deflection rate of 0.005 mm/year for 30 years and an associated viscosity (μ) of 5.3X10 19 Pa-s for a sample kept near 23.9C. At that rate, it would take ~100000 years to deform to a 1m radius. If we take granite viscosity at higher temperature we get μ =10 12 at 1075.7 – 1124.8 K. Using the earth conditions at ~1.7km depth we have a differential stress of 40 MPa and an ambient temperature of 40C (317.05 K). Assuming an Arrhenius equation for the thermal dependency of granite viscosity these values and temperatures give μ = 9.2X10 18 -1.4X10 19 Pa-s at 317.05K. Since viscosity is defined as stress/(strain rate), the viscous deflection rate is linear in both stress and viscosity, giving us a time of ~1000-1500 years to get the same 1m radius. This amount of time appears to be short enough to fit into anybody’s geological time frame.

So, is this approach wrong (and, if it is, how so)?

i'm not an expert on geology by any means, but i think what you're describing sounds fantastic -- would you be willing to edit it and put it on the page? Ungtss 14:05, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm quite unsure about my ability to put this information into a proper format (and how to define a section for it), but I have absolutely no objections to this information being put on the page. Wdanwatts 15:15, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Process of cleanup
Since there was no consensus on the VfD, I will try to clean-up the article. This entire paragraph had to be removed because it is wrong:

Was your point on apparent typos causing the entire data to be brought into question associated with the spelling style used in discussing these points? Wdanwatts

The listing of concerns with radiometric dating techniques (and your rebuttals) certainly SEEMED somewhat encyclopedic. What was unencyclopedic about it? Wdanwatts

Removed paragraph
In radiometric dating, a sample of igneous mineral is taken, and the ratio of two radioactive isotopes in the rock is measured. Geologists then make an assumption as to the original isotope ratio when the rock was formed, which cannot be observed, and calculate how long (according to the observable decay rates of those isotopes) it would take for the unobserved ratio to decay to the present-day ratio. Therefore, the "age" calculated is only as accurate as the scientist's assumption of the ratio when the mineral was originally formed, which by its very nature cannot be observed, but only inferred. Creationists challenge the validity and reliability of those assumptions.

Rationale
In radiomateric dating, the ratio isn't taken of two radioactive isotopes necessarily, but rather of isotopes that are connected in a radioactivity chain. Furthermore, geologists don't necessarily make an assumption about the original isotope ratios. In fact, what's more often done is to take a wide range of the decay curves and do a parameter fitting analysis. One doesn't use a single isochron to come up with a date. What is obtained can then be backtracked to determine the original ratio of the isotopes, but this isn't assumed --it's fitted. Once you understand this, the rest of the paragraph makes little sense. Now, if someone wants to include that creationists believe that parameter fitting analysis is impossible to do with a variety of radioactivity decay chains, be my guest. Joshuaschroeder 05:50, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Redirect rationale
Having done some more research on the whole creationist take on geology, I've now merged this article with flood geology. Here are a few reasons:

 * 1) Creation geology as a concept is mostly about the flood. It is admitted that most of the geology claimed to be explained by "creation geology" is explained by the flood.
 * 2) Geology is the study of the earth. To claim that there is a different geology associated with the flood is a misuse of the term "geology".
 * 3) There were parts of the flood geology article that dealt with things beyond the flood. Similarly there were parts of the creation geology article that dealt with the flood.

Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Arbuthnot, KCB (19 November 1773 – 6 May 1853) was a British military commander during the Napoleonic Wars. He was a general in the army, a colonel in the 76th Regiment. He was a brigadier general in the Portuguese Service and was appointed a Knight of the Tower and Sword of Portugal (KTS).

He was awarded the Army Gold Cross, with three clasps, for the battles of Busaco, Albuera, Badajoz, Nivelle, Nive, Orthez, and Toulouse, and the Military General Service Medal, with two clasps, for Corunna and Ciudad Rodrigo.

Biography
Arbuthnot was born at Rockfleet Castle, County Mayo, Ireland, the fourth son of agriculturist John Arbuthnot Senior of Rockfleet, Co Mayo. He was the brother of the Right Honourable Charles Arbuthnot, Bishop Alexander Arbuthnot and of Lieutenant-general Sir Thomas Arbuthnot.

He entered the army as a cornet in the 23rd Light Dragoons on 1 January 1797, and was present at the Battle of Ballinamuck in the Irish rebellion on 8 September of the following year. He subsequently served with his regiment at the capture of the Cape of Good Hope in 1806, and in South America as aide-de-camp to General (afterwards Lord) William Beresford, with whom and the rest of the troops under General Beresford's command he was made a prisoner of war, and remained a prisoner for 18 months, until released under the convention made by General Whitelock. On his return from America, Arbuthnot, then a captain in the 20th Light Dragoons, resumed his position on General Beresford's staff at Madeira, and served with him as aide-de-camp, and afterwards as military secretary, throughout the greater part of the Peninsular War.

Besides the Battle of Ballinamuck, two at the Cape, and three in South America, Sir Robert was present at the Battle of Corunna, the passage of the Douro, the battle of Busaco, the lines of Torres Vedras, the siege and reduction of Olivenza, the first siege of Badajoz, the battle of Albuera, the siege and storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, the third siege and storming of Badajoz, the battles of the Nivelle, Nive, passage of the Adour, and the battles of Orthes and Toulouse. He received the gold cross and three clasps for Busaco, Albuera, Badajoz, Nivelle, the Nive, Orthez, and Toulouse, and the war medal and two clasps for Corunna and Ciudad Rodrigo. He also received Portuguese and Spanish orders, including the special star given by the Portuguese government to all English officers of superior rank engaged at Albuera. He brought home the despatches regarding Albuera, and on that occasion was appointed a brevet lieutenant-colonel. He was created a knight of the Tower and Sword by the government of Portugal, and in 1815 was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB). In 1830, he attained the rank of major-general, and in 1838 was appointed to the command of the troops in Ceylon, after which he commanded a division in Bengal until his promotion as lieutenant-general in 1841. In 1843, he was appointed colonel of the 76th Foot.

At Albuera he distinguished himself by galloping between two regiments, the British 57th and a Spanish regiment, and stopping the fire which by mistake they were exchanging – a feat which he performed without receiving a single wound. In the same battle, at a critical moment, he was enabled by his quickness of sight to discern a retrograde movement on the part of the French, which Marshal Beresford had not perceived, and induced the latter to recall an order which he had just given for the retirement of two batteries of artillery. At an earlier period, in South America, when he and General Beresford were prisoners in the hands of the Spanish, and when all the officers were about to be searched for papers, he contrived by a clever stratagem to secrete in an orchard an important document, viz. the convention which had been executed between General Beresford and the Spanish general Linieres, and of which the Spanish were anxious to regain possession.

Family
He married his first wife, Susan Vesey in Belfast on 1 February 1802 (who died in Teddington, Twickenham on 30 June 1822). Susan was the only child of Colonel William Vesey of Farm Hill. Sir Robert married second at St James's Church, Piccadilly, 4 January 1826, Harriet Smith (dsp 5 December 1861), daughter of and co-heir of Thomas Smith of Castleton Hall, Lancashire.

Muinemón

Muinemón (later spelling Muineamhón), son of Cas Clothach, son of Irárd, son of Rothechtaid, son of Ros, son of Glas, son of Nuadu Declam, son of Eochaid Faebar Glas, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He helped Fíachu Fínscothach to murder his father, Sétna Airt, and become High King, and then, twenty years later, killed Fíachu and became High King himself. He is said to have been the first king in Ireland whose followers wore golden torcs around their necks (his name may derive from Old Irish muin, neck). He ruled for five years, until he died of plague at Aidne in Connacht, and was succeeded by his son Faildergdóit. The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 955–950 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1333–1328 BC.

The Macalister translation also says that Muinemón was King of Dairbre. In "Collectanea de rebus hibernicis, Volume 1", Charles Vallencey identifies "Dairbre" as Iveragh, Co. Kerry.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the definition as provided here is obsolete. The correct definition is listed as common in US parlance- that it is a settlement made by concessions on both sides. I am from the US so obviously this page seems incorrect to me--however I find no evidence that other English speaking countries officially use compromise as it is defined here--as a synonym for negotiation.134.84.136.33 20:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

 * "COMPROMISE, contracts. An agreement between two or more persons, who, to avoid a lawsuit, amicably settle their differences, on such terms as they can agree upon. Vide Com. Dig. App. tit. Compromise. 2. It will be proper to consider, 1. by whom the compromise must be made; 2. its form; 3. the subject of the compromise; 4. its effects. 3. It must be made by a person having a right and capacity to enter into the contract, and carry out his part of it, or by one having lawful authority from such person. 4. The compromise may be by parol or in writing, and the writing may be under seal or not: though as a general rule a partner cannot bind his copartner by deed, unless expressly authorized, yet it would seem that a compromise with the principal is an act which a partner may do in behalf of his copartners, and that, though under seal, it would conclude the firm. 2 Swanst. 539. 5. The compromise may relate to a civil claim, either as a matter of contract, or for a tort, but it must be of something uncertain; for if the debt be certain and undisputed, a payment of a part will not, of itself, discharge the whole. A claim connected with a criminal charge cannot be compromised. 1 Chit. Pr. 17. See Nev. & Man. 275. 6. The compromise puts an end to the suit, if it be proceeding, and bars any Suit which may afterwards be instituted. It has the effect of res judicata. 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 798-9. 7. In the civil law, a compromise is an agreement between two or more persons, who, wishing to settle their disputes, refer the matter, in controversy to arbitrators, who are so called because those who choose them give them full powers to arbitrate and decide what shall appear just and reasonable, to put an end -to the differences of which they are made the judges. 1 Domat, Lois Civ. lib. h. t. 14. Vide Submission; Ch. Pr. Index, h. t."

Ethical Perception
Can we add what Ethics prescribe when compromising. http://www.christianlibrary.org/authors/Brian_Yeager/denominationalism/compromise.htm

Merge
What's the difference? If there is any, please discuss and provide a source. Biggerj1 (talk) 09:46, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge. The question is not as to whether there is a semantic difference between compromise and trade-off, but rather whether there are distinct topics. I believe that there are. The compromise article covers negotiations between people; the Trade-off article covers goal-dependent optimization that does not depend on negotiation. The scope of each page can be made clear using hatnotes. Klbrain (talk) 09:54, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Would you please add hat notes? Biggerj1 (talk) 13:53, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I added a hatnote on Compromise. I don't think a hatnote in the other direction is needed, because the article title "trade-off" is unambiguous. 73.223.72.200 (talk) 22:38, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
