Farewell (The Supremes album)

Farewell is a 1970 live album by Diana Ross & the Supremes. The album was recorded over the course of the group's final engagement together at the New Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, including the final night on January 14, 1970. The show marked Diana Ross' penultimate performance with fellow Supremes members Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong. At the conclusion of the show, new Supremes lead singer Jean Terrell was brought onstage and introduced to the audience.

History
The material performed in the show was a mix of popular Supremes hits, cover songs, and Broadway showtunes. During the extended twenty-minute rendition of "Let The Sunshine In", Diana Ross walked through the audience and let some of the guests sing the title-chorus of the song; some of these guests included Smokey Robinson and his wife Claudette, Dick Clark, Lou Rawls, Steve Allen, Bill Russell, Tina Turner, and Marvin Gaye.

The live album was issued as a two-LP deluxe edition box set, produced by Deke Richards. The album was reissued as a gatefold two-LP set under the title Captured Live on Stage! in 1982, and as a two-disc compact disc reissue Captured Live on Stage!, in 1992.

According to Mary Wilson, Berry Gordy had last-minute reservations about having Terrell replace Ross, as she was more independent and headstrong than Ross had been. Gordy called Wilson during the early morning hours following the final show, and informed her that he was going to instead replace Ross with his original choice for a Ross replacement, Syreeta Wright.

Terrell, Wilson, and Cindy Birdsong had already recorded most of the material for the first post-Ross Supremes album, Right On, and Terrell had just been publicly introduced as the newest Supreme, so Wilson refused and threatened to quit if Gordy dropped Terrell. Gordy angrily replied he would "wash his hands of the group", and hung up the telephone receiver.

The Supremes enjoyed a number of hits following Ross' departure, including "Up the Ladder to the Roof", "Stoned Love", "River Deep – Mountain High" (with The Four Tops), "Nathan Jones", "Floy Joy", "Automatically Sunshine", and their last Top 40 Billboard Pop Chart hit in 1976, "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking"—although promotion and backing from Motown decreased. The Supremes carried on through the middle of the decade, briefly enjoying disco hits, concert touring, and television appearances, before finally disbanding officially in 1977.

Categorization
Just wanted to drop you a quick note reminding you to categorize your articles on Supreme Court cases. All you need to do is put at the bottom of the page once you've finished writing. This helps to group similar articles together and aids people in browsing.

Punctuation then Quotations
This is a common perscribed rule in American English. The original reason for it was during mechanical typesetting, where placing them in the other order was more likely to cause damage to the type casts. As such, the purpose for this rule has disappeared in our modern age, but many grammarians are just stuck on the rule, just because they're so used to it.

However, this rule was never really big in British English, and modern typists are begining to pick up the rule that whichever symbol binds tighter to the quote should go first. As such a list of terms such as: "a", "b", "c" should not have the commas inside of the quotes, as the comma is not part of the term being introduced. Note, sometimes punctuation is part of the term being introduced, such as "Yahoo!", and "Bleem!". In this case, the punctuation should be within the quotes, and not outside of, as it is part of the term, and not a function of the sentence itself. --Puellanivis 19:35, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * As long as we agree that the order in which the punctuation goes is arbitrary, I'm happy to follow the Wikipedia style manual's rule on this.---Axios023 07:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Questioning minor 1st paragraph edits?
Re: John Roberts, John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sandra Day O'Connor This is a small matter. I don't understand the reasons for Sjrplscjnky's recent minor edits of articles about each of the Justices of the Supreme Court. After some time, there has been no response to inquiries posted on this editor's talk page nor has there been feedback from similar postings on the talk pages of each of the nine articles about a sitting Justice and the one about retired Justice O'Connor. Rather than simply reverting this "improvement," I thought it best to solicit comment from others who might be interested. I found your name amongst others at Talk:Supreme Court of the United States.

I'm persuaded that Sjrplscjnky's strategy of introducing academic honors in the first paragraph is unhelpful in this narrow set of articles -- that is, in Wikipedia articles about Justices of the Supreme Court. I think my reasoning might well extend as well to others on the Federal bench. In each instance, I would question adding this information only in the first paragraph -- not elsewhere in the article.

In support of my view that this edit should be reverted, please consider re-visiting articles written about the following pairs of jurists.
 * A1. Benjamin Cardozo
 * A2. Learned Hand
 * B1. John Marshall Harlan
 * B2. John Marshall Harlan II

The question becomes: Would the current version of the Wikipedia article about any one of them -- or either pair -- be improved by academic credentials in the introductory paragraph? I think not.

Perhaps it helps to repeat a wry argument Kathleen Sullivan of Stanford Law makes when she suggests that some on the Harvard Law faculty do wonder how Antonin Scalia avoided learning what others have managed to grasp about the processes of judging? I would hope this anecdote gently illustrates the point.

Less humorous, but an even stronger argument is the one Clarence Thomas makes when he mentions wanting to return his law degree to Yale.

As you can see, I'm questioning relatively trivial edit; but I hope you agree that this otherwise plausible "improvement" should be removed from introductory paragraphs of ten articles. If not, why not?

Would you care to offer a comment or observation? --Ooperhoofd (talk) 19:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Regarding your comment on Supreme Court Justices, you are correct; I remember reading that "Your Honor" was not proper protocol, but either I am mistaken in my memory or they've given up. Their own guide to counsels arguing mentions "Your Honor" as an appropriate form of address. Perhaps I am confusing "Your Honor" with "Judge", which they explicitly say should not be used...

Fair Sentencing Act
Hello, Axios023. I am currently participating in the United States Public Policy WikiProject. I see you have contributed mainly to articles on United States Supreme Court cases, and one article you worked on (Kimbrough v. United States) covers a similar subject area as the article I am working on (Fair Sentencing Act) for this Wikiproject. Both of these articles discuss sentencing issues surrounding crack cocaine such as the ratio disparities between crack and powder cocaine. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take a look at the Fair Sentencing Act article and leave any advice and/or observations on its discussion page. I am new to contributing to Wikipedia, so any suggestions would be helpful as I continue to work on expanding this article. Thanks! Gsrogers (talk) 00:04, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67)

History
Jackie Kennedy is listed as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the picture from 1967 with Caroline christening the ship. She did not marry Ari Onassis until October 1968 so she should properly be listed as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shemp Howard, Jr. (talk • contribs) 00:26, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

1980s On 24 April 1988, the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy responded to a distress call from the submarine USS Bonefish which was experiencing a deadly fire off the coast of Florida. Eighty-nine crew members were rescued by whaleboat and helicopter crews from USS Carr and the USS John F. Kennedy. One Search and Rescue Swimmer from HS-7, Anti-Submarine Warfare Operator Third Class (AW3) Larry Grossman spent over three hours in the ocean and was credited with saving 19 lives. He later received the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for Heroism. Three sailors —Lieutenant Ray Everts, Petty Officer 1st Class Bob Bordelon, and Petty Officer 3rd Class Marshal T. Lindgren—were killed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.46.92.102 (talk) 19:12, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Save The JFK
The JFK CV-67 Memorial Foundation, Inc. seeks to transform the recently decommissioned vessel into the "John F. Kennedy Maritime Museum," a world-class facility honoring the ship, 500,000-plus dedicated sailors and aviators who served on her, and of course her namesake, President John F. Kennedy. It hopes to place her, in perpetuity, in a suitable site where her legacy can be maintained and where she can continue to serve as a vital symbol of America, an educational site, an inspiring museum and a living memorial to the patriotic Americans who served aboard her.

Disposition
As the JFK is one of the oldest active carriers, and likely to be replaced relatively soon, perhaps we could have some information about the Navy's intentions with regard to her disposition? Museum, scrap, etc.? Streltzer 16:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, I found some articles discussing a proposal to re-assign the JFK to the U.S. Coast Guard as a floating disaster recovery base. That doesn't seem like a good expenditure of money (we have smaller Wasp-class ex-Navy boats that would do a better (and cheaper) job in that capacity. Also, does the Coast Guard want such a boat?  See, e.g., Link.  Streltzer 16:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 * The WASP class was started with the USS Wasp, commissioned in 89, there are 8, all are active, and a 9th is under construction. There are NO Wasp class available, and what says they would be better and cheaper? They are fairly newly designed, and launched. The JFK would likely do a fair job, if chosen, however, it is more likely to become a museum, and a target for "treehugger", it is one of the last large Ships to use Oil... likely the main reason it was decommed... AGW and all that, al gore, limolibs and such, withstanding.--24.131.214.51 (talk) 03:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually, seven Wasps (LHDs) are in service, with the eighth, USS Makin Island (LHD-8), scheduled to commission in late 2008. There is the new LHA-6 class, which is based on the Makin Island, being developed, but the first one is still years off, assuming it survives the next presidential administration's budget. There are, however, three Tarawa class ships (LHAs) in mothballs, the third having coming out fairly recently. Since the LHA/LHDs are designed for helicopter operations, they would probably be better suited for such roles, as those are generally the ships the USN sends in first in these types of situations anyway. Anyway, that link is about 2 years old, and is from an op-ed-type piece anyway - the fact that nothing much has been mentioned since probably shows it was just a long-shot idea anyway. - BillCJ (talk) 03:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Decommissioning date
There's a discrepancy with the decommissioning date. The article lists August 1, 2007 per the Navy Vessel Register, but there was a ceremony on March 23. Is the ceremony not the actual date of decommission?

Jackie Kennedy's name
Jackie Kennedy did not marry Aristotle Onassis until 1968. The JFK CV 67 was laid down in '64 and launched in '67. The article lists her has the sponsor of the JFK with Onassis as her last name. The Navy's commisioning papers for the JFK CV 67 show her name as sponsor as Kennedy. Historic Preservationists like myself see a huge difference in such points.

It's not accurate as written. CVA-67 was authorized in the FY63 budget as a conventional carrier. Rickover made an attempt to get the order changed to a nuclear carrier based on CVAN-65 but with four A3W reactors. But that never happned; Kennedy was ordered and built as a conventional carrier.

Mikhail Youzhny

Mikhail Mikhailovich Youzhny (born 25 June 1982), nicknamed "Misha" and "Colonel" by his fans, is a Russian former professional tennis player who was ranked inside the top 10 and was the Russian No. 1. He achieved a top-10 ranking by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for the first time on 13 August 2007, and reached a career peak of world No. 8 in January 2008, and again in October 2010.Youzhny reached the quarterfinals of all majors, reaching the semifinals at the US Open in 2006 and 2010. The closest he came to a major final was at the 2006 US Open semifinals when he took the first set from world No. 9 Andy Roddick, after upsetting world No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals. At the other semifinal he lost in straight sets to the eventual champion, Nadal. Youzhny reached the finals of 21 ATP Tour-level titles, winning ten of them. He reached ATP Tour finals on all surfaces, but never won a singles title on grass. In 2010—his best season—Youzhny reached five ATP finals, winning two and ending the year as a top-10 player. Youzhny was a member of the winning Russian national team at the Davis Cup in both 2002 and 2006, playing a crucial role in 2002 when he won the deciding rubber after coming back from two-sets-to-love down.

Early life
Youzhny was born on 25 June 1982 to Mikhail, a Soviet army colonel and Lubov, a professional tennis player. 25 June is also his father's birthday. His father sacrificed his career in the Soviet army to steer Youzhny and his older brother Andrei into becoming tennis players. It was because of his father that Boris Sobkin became his coach. At the age of 13, he was a ballboy for a Russia – United States Davis Cup final in Moscow. Youzhny's father was recommended that Mikhail and his brother should join the tennis club Spartak Club if they wanted to become professional players. Mikhail and Andrei had to travel on an underground metro train and then on two buses to reach their destination, taking well over an hour to reach the club. His mother had to take a part-time job to pay for their club membership fees.

At Spartak Club, Youzhny, along with many others his age, would watch Andrei Chesnokov, a former top-10 player, practice for hours. However, his parents had difficulty finding a good coach for Mikhail and Andrei. According to Mikhail, "It was not so easy. In the beginning me and Andrei would watch how coaches were working with students. Then we would make our own drills with a bag of old balls that we collected." Remembering Youzhny's early years, Sobkin said, "Mischa and Andrei were practising together all the time without [a] coach". Sobkin continued: "'In the beginning, Mischa is all the time breaking racquets and crying. Not so many coaches want to work with boy with strong character like this. So, they would practise on one court for 15 minutes and then comes a member so they must leave court immediately and move to another court. Ten minutes maybe 20 minutes later comes another member and like this all day. There was something in Mischa's eyes, a sparkle, maybe, I don't know. Sometimes the eyes tells more than parents. Of course, I did not see Mischa is Top 10 player then. But I could see he had something special.'"

Juniors: 1995, 1997–2000
Youzhny played in his first junior tournament in April 1995 at the 8th Sochi International Junior Tournament, but lost in the first round to Andrei Stoliarov.

In Australian Open, he retired to Marcos Baghdatis from Cyprus in the opening round. Then, he suffered from a number of first or second round losses. At Halle, he defeated Yūichi Sugita from Japan by 7–6(7–5), 6–7(11–13), 7–6(14–12), in the qualifying round. The match, which lasted for 3 hours and 35 minutes, recorded the longest ATP match of the year at that time. He then defeated Croatian Ivo Karlović in the first round, but lost to the compatriot wild-card holder Andrey Rublev in three sets in the second round. At Wimbledon, he stunned Nicolas Mahut in straight sets the first round. This is Youzhny's 100th win at Grand Slam events. In the second round, despite winning the first set, he eventually lost to the sixth seed and 2016 runner-up Milos Raonic. Youzhny's ranking slipped to no. 98 after 5 first round exits in Austria, Croatia, and Switzerland, as well as 2 first round exits at the Coupe de Rogers in Montreal and the Western and Southern Open, in Cincinnati. He then competed at the US Open and fell to Roger Federer in the 2R after being up two sets to one.

Retirement in 2018
At the 2018 Atlanta Open, Youzhny announced his retirement from professional tennis, with the 2018 St. Petersburg Open marking his final appearance. After beating Mirza Bašić in the first round for his 499th and final career win, Youzhny lost to Roberto Bautista Agut in three sets in the second round.

Coaching
Youzhny was sighted working with Denis Shapovalov at the Winston-Salem Open in 2019 and it has been confirmed that he will be working with the young Canadian for the US Open Series. Youzhny has been an outspoken opposition to the Russian Tennis Federation since the 2010 Kremlin Cup.

Davis Cup
Youzhny played his first Davis Cup match in the World Group first round against Belgium in a dead rubber. He defeated Olivier Rochus in the fourth match. Youzhny would go on to lose four matches in a row. At the 2002 World Group final, Youzhny played the deciding match against Paul-Henri Mathieu and came back from two sets down to win. In 2003, in Russia's first round match against Belarus, Youzhny played the fifth and decisive match and lost to Vladimir Voltchkov. In the 2006 World Group Youzhny participated in the first round, quarterfinals and in the semifinals, but did not play in the final against Argentina. However, he did participate in the 2007 final against the United States, but he lost in the second match to James Blake in four sets. The defeat gave the United States a 2–0 lead over Russia, with the United States winning the final 4–1. At the 2008 World Group Youzhny only participated in the first round against Serbia, winning his singles match against Nenad Zimonjić. In the third match he partnered with Dmitry Tursunov against Novak Djokovic and Nenad Zimonjić but lost. However, despite his doubles loss, Russia advanced and won 3–2.

Russia, which was world number one, was heavily favored in their match against Israel. The matches were hosted by Israel in the World Group quarterfinal tie in July 2009, on indoor hard courts at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv. Israel beat Russia in each of their first three matches, thereby winning the tie. world number 210 Harel Levy first beat world number twenty-four Igor Andreev, while world number thirty-three Dudi Sela followed by beating Youzhny in four sets. "This is a bit of a surprise", Youzhny said. He said he was very disappointed, and added: "I began very well, but after I took the first set, my luck fell away." The next day Israelis Andy Ram and Jonathan Erlich beat Safin and doubles specialist Igor Kunitsyn. Israel defeated Russia 4–1 for the win.

Youzhny resigned from the Russian Davis Cup team in February 2011, stating, "I think the time has come for me step aside and give younger players a chance". He added, "Now, I want to devote more time to my family and concentrate on individual tournaments". However, he competed at the 2011 Davis Cup tie with Brazil, stating that "We're in a tough situation right now and I thought it was my duty to help the team. Therefore, I've made myself available for that tie." Youzhny won both of his rubbers, the first against Ricardo Mello, while he took over five hours to defeat Thomaz Bellucci, 14–12 in the fifth set. In his last Davis Cup match so far, in 2012, Youzhny partnered with Nikolay Davydenko to beat Austria doubles team Oliver Marach and Alexander Peya.

Summer Olympics
Youzhny participated in three Summer Olympics; Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012. In Athens he reached the quarterfinals and ended up losing to silver medalist Mardy Fish. He also played doubles in Athens, partnering up with Marat Safin, but ended up losing to Bob and Mike Bryan in the first round. In Beijing, Youzhny reached the third round, but lost to Novak Djokovic. In the doubles competition he and Dmitry Tursunov reached the second round, losing to eventual champions Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka in two sets. In London, he lost in the first round to Julien Benneteau. At the doubles he was more successful; he and his partner Nikolay Davydenko reached the second round, losing in two tiebreaks to Bob and Mike Bryan. In the mixed doubles, however, he and teammate Elena Vesnina lost in the first round in straight sets to the Argentine team of Gisela Dulko and Juan Martín del Potro.

Playing style, equipment and team

Youzhny had powerful groundstrokes on both sides. Former professional tennis player and now coach Peter Lundgren stated that Youzhny's "backhand slice is one of the best in the world. His slice had a lot of variety and he can neutralise an opponent's offence quickly with it." However, while his backhand slice was a good defensive weapon, his main attacking weapon was his one-handed backhand hit with topspin. Youzhny used "a backhand grip around 3/4 of the way from Continental toward Modified Eastern. His grip is close enough to Modified Eastern to allow him to hit topspin with reasonable comfort, but most players would hit stronger topspin with a grip right on Modified Eastern or closer to Full Eastern. Youzhny's backhand grip would work well for slice, but he changes to an Eastern forehand grip for his slice."

When asked at the 2014 Dubai Tennis Championships about Youzhny, Novak Djokovic, then world no. 2, replied; "Mikhail [...] has one of the nicest and most efficient one handed backhands on the tour. It seems a little bit unorthodox the way he holds his racquet, then [he] releases with two hands and in the end with one hand. But he's a very talented player." According to The New York Times columnist Christopher Clarley, Youzhny's one-handed backhand was one of the more unusual ones on tour, hit with a "free left arm accompanying his right arm as he swings through the ball." Veteran coach Sven Groeneveld jokingly said that Youzhny's should be called a "half one-hander". Youzhny hit the ball early on both sides, so as to "achieve a flatter flight trajectory and to get the ball to the opponent's side quicker." He was also noted for his good court sense and often used drop shots to mix up his game, and he was very talented at volleying.

Youzhny was good on all surfaces, and was noted for his all-court game. Youzhny was noted for his ability to be able to change surfaces quickly without difficulty. However, his best surface is grass. He had 53 tour-level wins on grass. Kevin Mitchell from The Guardian referred to Youzhny as a grass-court specialist.

Former Russian top-10 player Alex Metreveli referred to Youzhny as a "really a great fighter", he said, "I cannot even remember how many matches he has won in tough situations. Russian people respect Mischa because he is a man who works hard. And his fighting spirit is just incredible. What he did in Paris for Davis Cup is just one of many such examples." He had an ability to change rapidly to all conditions. However, a consistent weakness throughout his career was his serve. Robert Davis, an employee of the Association of Tennis Professionals, once wrote that "Youzhny serves up less aces than a poor luck poker player". Former top-10 British tennis player Tim Henman said that Youzhny had a solid serve, at least on grass.

Youzhny was known on tour for his post-match military salute at the end of the match. Honoring his late father, Youzhny placed his racquet on his head while saluting the crowd instead of the hat that Russian military protocol dictates.

Boris Sobkin was Youzhny's coach since the age of 10 because of Youzhny's father's interference. His fitness trainer is Oleg Mosiakov. Youzhny wore adidas clothing and Barricade 7.0 shoes and used a Head Head Graphene XT Extreme Pro racquet.

Personal life
The Russian government awarded Youzhny the title Honoured Master of Sports in 2003 for his participation in Russia's Davis Cup victory the previous year. Youzhny began studying for a degree in philosophy at the University of Moscow in 2005, specializing in the philosophy and attitudes of tennis. He obtained his PhD in December 2010. His thesis was entitled "Professional Tennis Players on the Court" and "was about other players and how they compared up against one another". When asked about his thesis, he said "I wrote it slowly when I had the time ... You find out about other players and try to compare them with you. You look at what you have to do against them or what changes they may make before their matches or during your match with them." Youzhny married Yulia on 22 November 2008 in Moscow; the couple have two sons and one daughter, Maxim born 2009, Igor born 2012 and Milana born 2019. Yulia died on 9 January 2024.

Singles
Note: At the 2010 Australian Open, Youzhny withdrew prior to the third round

Wikiagraphy
Referring to your comment on the Village Pump: Exactly what kind of people you mean who you need to look up? Famous or notorious people qualify for at least a short biography article in WP. -Skysmith 11:40, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Many people who are just associated with or related to famous or notorious people do not necessarily need articles, if that's the only thing they are famous about (and there are truckloads of people who just claim have known someone). Some could be included as members of some social groups, others mentioned in articles that refer to their specialty.
 * You mention that "Joe Schmo's" could try to include themselves (and actually they already do, see Votes for Deletion and its archives) but that is hardly the worst thing. I wrote a longer text about the possible pitfalls when one guy requested "Wikimanity" (of all humanity) but it seems to be too deep in the archives right now (ie. cannot find it). Shortly: listing too many so-called "ordinary" people could lead to multiple privacy violations, attempted character assassinations and potential for imposture and fraud. And that would not require they would be included in bad faith. - Skysmith 12:18, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Getting Psychotherapy into This Week's Improvement Drive
Hi there! I noticed that at one time or another you helped contribute to the article on Psychotherapy. As it stands this article could use a lot of help, and thus I've taken the liberty of trying to get it to be the focus of a week's improvement drive. All we need to get it for a week's worth of focus and improvement is enough votes, so go to Psychotherapy's vote page and help out this very needing article! JoeSmack (talk) 18:16, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

Psychotherapy
You have previously voted for Psychotherapy on WP:IDRIVE. It did not make it, but I have renominated it on the new Medicine Collaboration of the Week. Please add your supporting vote there if you are still interested.--Fenice 21:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures
Before I arbitrarily revert your near-complete blanking of Talk:New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, I'd like to give you the opportunity to offer an explanation. I cannot think of a good reason to do so, but perhaps you have one. - CobaltBlueTony 19:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

School counselor and release version
Sorry, this article seems fine, but I'm not sure the topic falls within the scope of 0.5. We expect to include only about 2,000 articles. Maurreen 15:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

 * This is just my opinion, but I don't think "School counselor" is of wide enough interest. Maurreen 11:00, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

 * The Google test, although imperfect, is a rough indicator of interest. "School counselor" gets 4 million Google hits.
 * Aquarium will be excluded, and it got 72 million hits. Also Punk rock, with 26 million hits, and Actuary with 6.7 million. Maurreen 12:39, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Jesse B. Davis
Hi, I deleted the article, since as it was written it met the criteria for speedy deletion. If you plan to write a more complete and well-sourced article I would encourage you to do so, but I'd advise you to make sure the article is reasonably complete before you create it. A good way to do this is to build it in your user-space first. This means you create an article called something like User:Whicky1978/Jesse B. Davis, work on the article there and when you are hapy with it, copy it to Jesse B. Davis. Good luck, Gwernol 15:06, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Again, Wikipedia has guidelines on notability. Your stub didn't meet those criteria. However, that does not mean that a notable article on Jesse Davis couldn't be written. By the way, the argument "there are other poor articles on Wikipedia, so don't delete my poor article" is almost never convincing. I'd encourage you to look at examples of good biographical articles and concentrate your efforts on following those examples to create a useful article on Jesse. Best, Gwernol 16:16, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

You have recently created the article Jesse B. Davis. This was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not recreate the article: if you disagree with the article's deletion, you may ask for a review at Deletion review. Sorry :-( אמר Steve Caruso(desk/poll)  19:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

References for Educational psychology
Hi, and thanks for your offer to help with the article. The references are currently in APA style (American Psychological Association) which is the standard for this discipline. But I think a compromise between APA and footnote style would be appropriate for this article. I've seen it used elsewhere in WP. The idea would be to keep pure APA style for the reference list with the exceptions that each entry would be prefixed by a footnote number and the entries would be ordered according to their order of appearance in the article instead of alphabetical order. The citations appearing within the text of the article would be in regular linked, superscript footnote style. Actually, I was planning to survey a few featured articles to decide on the best format, but if you are willing to make the changes, please go ahead. Nesbit 17:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

The psychotherapy article you found seems like a pretty good model, although its individual reference entries are not pure APA style in a few spots. Nesbit 18:14, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I like the numbering style on school counselor. Feel free to do the same in educational psychology if you like. Thanks. Nesbit 18:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

re: Jesse B. Davis
I think that would be a much more viable stub. It still may deserve discussion and editing but that's true for every article on the project. I've taken the liberty of moving that content to a sub-page of your userspace for now. See user:Whicky1978/temp. We should probably wait for the Deletion Review discussion to conclude before recreating the page again in the main articlespace. Frequent recreations before the discussion concludes are often seen as a sign of bad-faith. If in 5-10 days the DRV discussion concludes with an "overturn" decision, you can move your draft out to the articlespace then. Rossami (talk) 06:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I had the link above wrong before.  Forgot to type the "user:" part of the link.  Now fixed.
 * re: your recent comment on my userpage that the first version was "at face value notable". I would encourage you to spend a few months on the New Pages patrol before passing judgment on the actions of the people who saw the early drafts of your page.  We get lots of outrageous claims made about non-notable people.  For some reason, we seem to get a lot of such articles about teachers and others associated with secondary schools.  The first versions of your draft did not establish context in time.  My initial assumption was that the article was a "fluff piece" about a living person.  It took some real research to disprove that hypothesis.  It would be nice if we could always assume good faith but ...  Well, as I said, spend some time on the New Pages patrol.  I think you'll have a different perspective on the problem.  I'm not saying that false positives are ever a good thing but they become a more understandable thing.  Rossami (talk) 17:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

U.S. Labor stats for educational psychologists
Hi Whicky1978: Can you point me to the source of this statement in the educational psychology article: "Employment for psychologists is expected to grow faster than average (18-26%) for all occupations through the year 2014." With a terminal year of 2014 it must come from US labor stats, but I can't find it in the U.S. Gov. web page we cite for salary stats. Thanks. Nesbit 23:38, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Cherokee language wikipedia
<<< I think a Cherokee language wikipedia would be cool, but I don't know if it would be necessary since all Cherokee Americans speak English also, right?whicky1978 talk 22:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC) >>>

Hey...Cherokee American is my title :-D It isn't truly necessary, but the Cherokee language is in a period of revival in Oklahoma, U.S. Wikipedia has several "extinct" or not widely used language editions. Examples are Latin, Esperanto, Manx from the Isle of Man, Buganda, Papiamento, Ruthenian and hundreds of dialects not often written in encyclopedias. Be in mind the Cherokee syllabary is one of a few American Indian alphabets, invented by Sequoyah, a Cherokee scholar in the 1820's. Other Native American languages known to still thrive are Navajo, Comanche, Lakota, Cree, Haida and Yupik, although most young Native Americans speak English as a result of cultural dominance of the U.S. for two centuries. --Mike D 26 20:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

School counselor
Hi,

Yes, I can understand your problem. I'm a chemist, but I had a go at improving the article on the Humanities - I was frustrated to find that all the books in our college library (in the US) gave only the American perspective. Six months later, the article still has a limitedgeographicscope tag on it, which I didn't place there! I wonder if you can put in a request for translation for Conseiller d'orientation? As for the UK or Australia, I would say that even if there are separate people covering academic advising and career advising, that sort of difference needs to be noted in this article. Also, you may be surprised - now the page is a GA and prominent (#20 in a Google search), people from overseas will begin to see it more and comment. Good luck with that, and if we can get at least one other perspective covered thoroughly I'll be sure to add in the article. Thanks for trying! Walkerma 03:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Incorrectly rating Frank Parsons as GA standard

 * Frank Parsons is a complete article. whicky1978talk 02:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think you quite understand. To give a GA tag, the article MUST be nominated and approved by an experienced editor before a GA status can be given. It might be "complete" in its content, but other factors such as layout, prose etc must obide by standards to a sufficient standard to be awarded the GA status. Please do not add this unless it has been approved by an experienced editor via the GA nominations process. Bungle (talk • contribs) 07:01, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Social science education

The article Social science education has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
 * Article borders on the fatuous. Social science is well developed. This has nothing to contribute.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Allison Mack
Hi. Please do not add uncited material to articles, as you did with this edit to Allison Mack, as this violates Wikipedia's Verifiability policy.

Also, this website, which you cited to support the material you added in this edit, does not conform to Wikipedia policy. For one thing, there is no way to know if the Allison Mack named in those search results is the subject of the Wikipedia article. In addition, when citing a website, it shouldn't be a search engine, but the page that contains the information in question, where applicable. Lastly, WP:BLPPRIMARY prohibits us from using things like trial transcripts, court records, or other public documents to support assertions about a living person.

Since where an accused person is imprisoned changes between their arrest, trial and/or post-conviction imprisonment, where they're currently incarcerated is not really relevant anyway, per WP:NOTNEWS.

Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 02:29, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

Group B
Thanks for the massive rewrite to Group B! Truly an excellent job. I went through and cleaned it up a bit, but your work is very much appreciated. Now all we need is writeups on the rallies, cars, and drivers! hint hint! :) --SFoskett 21:38, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

My pleasure
It's always an honor to be the first to welcome a new user. :) – ClockworkSoul 22:28, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

American Championship Car Racing
I don't understand the scope of your article on American Championship Car Racing. What exactly is it that you are describing? There doesn't seem to actually be a series named that. If this is, like you say in the intro, just a general history of top open-wheel series in the US, then it should be merged into a more general article, like open wheel racing.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello AJB83! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is an  Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
