Talk:Borosilicate glass

Melting point
Hi Alex, sorry to correct your sentence again, but the heat resistance of borosilicate glass is definitely not generated from its "higher melting point". Actually glass doesn't have any such thing as a melting point. Also borosilicate glass doesn't even have a higher softening temperature than conventional soda-lime glass. The main advantage is the low thermal expansion coefficient. It makes borosilicate glass less sensitive to thermal gradients and thermal shock. Regards, Herbert

The mixture as a whole has to be heated to a higher temperature before it liquefies to the point that it can be shaped; Corning had to develop new forges that could produce and withstand 1000 C. I'm not mischaracterizing the nature of the glass, it was a major engineering challenge to mass-produce in the early days. --Alexwcovington (talk) 12:42, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I see there are two more reverts here now. Can the anon user please post here with sources stating reason for his/her reverts? Inter 12:56, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I apologize for my overzealousness. I mistakenly believed at the time of the edits that it was the melting point that was the major difference; indeed the melting point of Pyrex is about 821 C, much lower than a typical glass, well over 1000 C .  By examining sources here  for a more typical glass (0.672 J / g * cm3), [0.161 *4.18]) and here for borosilicate  (0.753 J / g * cm3), I see a significant difference in heat capacity.  It is possible that Corning needed the new forges to allow for mixing at the desired consistency, and maybe to overcome the added heat resistance, though I'm less confident of that now.

 * Modifying article thusly. --Alexwcovington (talk) 06:50, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The confustion comes from soda lime glass, which I am supposing is not normal window pane glass. Soda lime glass has a definitly lower melting point. Indolering

Looks like somebody knows, so howcum the melting temp (which I understood Pyrex was developed for) isn't mentioned? Trekphiler 00:47, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Merge of bomex, kimax and pyrex articles
Lacrima97: It doesn't matter if the bomex section is merged, but if it is, pyrex and kimax should also be merged. They are all different brands, and i know that i really needed the information I posted about bomex, so just do what you wish with it, as long as the facts are known. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.79.242.166 (talk • contribs) 01:12, 4 January 2006 UTC.

Makes sense to merge them (IMO) as long as we setup redirect pages from Pyrex, Kimax, and Bomex into Borosilicate glass. Marius 21:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I concur; I'd like to see all three merged in, with the appropriate redirects. --moof 03:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

It is VERY TRUE, all these brands of glass are nearly the exact same glass, just brands. Why would be have a different article for each brand of ketchup? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.35.161.79 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 16 June 2006 UTC.

It is not advisible to enclude the two trade names as part of borosilicate, as borosilicates are a type of glass denoted due to the % of Boric oxide present used as a flux. The companies only wish to add their trade names as a marketing exercise. There are 1000's of compositions manuafctured that come under the unbrella of 'Borosilicates' should they all merge pages?? The only company who truely could have a claim to merge is 'PYREX' teh original trade name asscoiated with the formulation of a borosilicate type glass. Furthermore the main attribute of borosilicates is not only the thermal expansion, but moreso that these glass types are hydrolytically stable, offering excellent chemical resistance (except HF of course)as apposed to most other glass types. Simon Brigham

I'm against merging the Pyrex article with this one. It has become fairly developed, including information specific to the brand name, and deserves its own article. It might make sense to transfer some of the information from that article to this one, though. -- Heptite (T)   (C)   (@)  16:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I support merging in Kimax and Bomex to here, but not Pyrex. Pyrex, like Kleenex, is a genericised trademark, and so by our guidelines deserves its own article. The others, on the other hand, are not notable enough to warrant their own articles. Besides, the Kimax and Bomex articles as written say nothing that is of note that isn't said in this article. — Saxifrage ✎ 20:48, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Other uses
It should just say dildo instead of other uses - some people might click on it whilst having a parent watching and it could lead to quite an embarrising conversation.

From Todd A.  This article should discuss use of borosilicate glass in the nuclear industry. Boron is a good neutron absorber, which is helpful for preventing unwanted nuclear criticalities (chain reactions in which enough neutrons that are released when atoms fission in one generationstick around and create the same amount - or more (supercriticality) - fissions in the next generation). This is something that is useful in manufacture of nuclear fuel (e.g., highly enriched uranium) or in storing or disposing nuclear waste that has enough fissile material to sustain a nuclear reaction (okay, that's a bit simplified). Here are a couple of uses: 1) Raschig Rings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raschig_ring):  facilities that manufacture nuclear fuel often put them in vacuum cleaners that are used to vacuum up spills; 2) stabilizing defense nuclear waste that contains plutonium-239 or other fissile material (e.g. U-235):  take a stainless steel cylinder, pour in powder waste & borosilicate glass powder through electrodes that heat it up (at the same time) and presto, very stable glass log encased in highly corrosion-resistant material. I recommend not using the latter as a dildo. Anyway, a good google search could find you all sorts of references. I leave it to the owner of the page138.162.8.58 (talk) 18:06, 18 December 2009 (UTC)Todd A.

Under radioactivity there is a "citation needed" for this glass being used to hold radioactive waste for centuries. This is clearly false since this glass tpye has not been around for centuries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.170.48 (talk) 13:30, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Moving general borosilicate info here from Pyrex
I'm not sure about merging, but certainly now that "Pyrex isn't pyrex" (heh) it would make sense to move the general borosilicate chemistry info from the Pyrex article in here. Chris Cunningham 11:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Done. Chris Cunningham 10:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Translation
I want someone to help telling me how can I say "Borosilicate glass" in spanish for the translation.

Maybe I can type "Vidrio borosilicato" or "Vidrio de borosílice", but I´m not sure about the correct form. Damërung 13:03, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Durability
Can some knowledgeable soul please add a section explaining to what degree imperfections in borosilicate products (such as air bubbles, chips and cracks) affect their safety and usability for heating, vacuum and pressurization? Information on this is hard to find, and contradictory at best. Some people say an air bubble will cause a borosilicate piece to explode when heated or subjected to vacuum/pressure, others say it doesn't do anything. Same thing for chips. It'd be nice to have the correct answer available in WP for easy access. 97.82.247.200 23:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Manufacturing process
Is the reference to silicate glass correct? shouldn't it be soda-lime glass? Axiosaurus 15:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Usage: conflict with another article
3rd to last paragraph in "usage" section says "Borosilicate glass is not used for high quality lenses due to striations and inclusions common to this type of glass."

BUT article "Crown glass (optics)" says "the borosilicate glass Schott BK7 is an extremely common crown glass, used in precision lenses."

Will some expert kindly resolve this conflict???

Perhaps something like: "Most borsosilicate glasses are not used ... but some (e.g., Schott BK7) are made well enough for such use." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.249.41.138 (talk) 03:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Resolved: This now includes mention of BK-7 and similar types of borosilicate optical glass, and B270 and similar but less expensive types of borosilicate glass for eyeglasses. You can buy borosilicate in any grade required, from exceptionally fine melts of special BK-7 to very cheap industrial grades. -Rstevec —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.13.44 (talk) 05:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Is the "Schott Duran" glassware borosilicate glassware?
Does anyone know? If it is not then it is not related to this article and should be removed. If it is then it should be captioned as "borosilicate glassware, here displayed two beakers and a test tube" not "Schott Duran glassware, here displayed two beakers and a test tube". Can anyone confirm if they are borosilicate or not? Sean.barton (talk) 00:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Probably it must be borosilicate. I don't see why it would be added to the article if it were not. I'll change the caption, but if I am wrong someone please correct it. Sean.barton (talk) 20:09, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Schott Duran is a brand of borosilicate glass. The old caption would have been fine, the changed one would be fine too. TooManyFingers (talk) 18:40, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Pyrex use of soda lime since 1998 question
The article currently states that the US mfr of Pyrex has been using soda lime since 1998; however, the ref provided does not mention any date of when soda lime was introduced, and this recent Snopes.com article suggests that the switch actually occurred in the mid 1940s.

Inconsistent link to Swiss University
In the section "Borosilicate nanoparticles," the link indicates it is to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Federal_Institute_of_Technology_in_Lausanne

However, the link actually goes to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Federal_Institute_of_Technology_Z%C3%BCrich

I don't know which university conducted the research described in the paragraph, but it appears that either the name in the text or the link needs to be changed.

Dan Eister
I've just removed the following text from the article since it is not notable, does not contribute usefully to the article and is probably a personal advertisement (it had been added by an IP user). If it is felt to be notable enough by more than one editor maybe a page can be started for Dan Eister but I don't think it belongs on this page.

"Dan Eister is the first lampwork bead maker to put a full color line of borosilicate beads on the table at any bead trade show. He did this after discovering boro color created by Paul Trautman who started Northstar. It happened in 1999 at Embellishment in Portland Oregon. Dan Eister was also one of the featured artists in a book published by Schiffer in 2001 and authored by Mark P. Block called " Contemporary Marbles and Related Art Glass ". Dan is the first to use Dichroic made by " Coatings by Sandberg " in a borosilicate marble that he developed in honor of his stepfather John Bowen a Geologist. Dan's idea was to create a marble that was his version of a geode. "

Guitar slide picture doesn't look like a guitar anything. Looks more like a beaker.
The image and image comment don't make sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.151.52.200 (talk) 23:14, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Many objects of about the right size and shape *can* be used as guitar slides. I agree it doesn't necessarily look specifically made for a guitar, but I don't know. TooManyFingers (talk) 18:44, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Note: I just did a little web search for borosilicate guitar slide, and the first hopeful-looking result took me to a well-known guitar accessories company where they sell ones just like in the picture. So I guess that settles it well enough. TooManyFingers (talk) 18:55, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

3d printing
The selection of borosilicate glass for FDM 3d printing is exaggerated. This may have true a couple years ago, but flexible build plates of spring metal with a proprietary coating have become the defacto standard. Glass build plates generally never came prepackaged with 3d printers and were only used by hobbiests to replace unsuitable build surfaces. These were also generally whatever was available and most likely not borosilicate glass because the thermal properties of soda lime glass is more than sufficient for the relatively low temperature of FDM printing. Also, borosilicate is generally not available in flat plates to the general consumer. To make matters worse, the description if the FDM process is in error. Build plate temperatures can vary widely, but rarely need to exceed 100x. In short this entire section is inaccurate and does not belong on this page. A simple statement saying that borosilicate glass may be used as a build plate coating with a link to 3d printing would be more appropriate. Nuke Sam (talk) 19:23, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Correction, the did come prepackaged with 3d printers as the installed build plate for printers such as makerbot replicator 2+. Still this discussion doesn't really belong in this article. Nuke Sam (talk) 19:28, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Fine Art
The article on borosilicate glass neglects that it has emerged as an important medium in fine art and sculpture. Its resistance to cracking (and exploding) has lent itself to lampwork art. Here is one article:   Also cross reference to the Wikipedia lampworking page: 2605:A000:1005:853A:3D6C:3B76:D0F2:E388 (talk) 14:23, 20 May 2019 (UTC)R.Otten

Optics, working temperature
In the Optics section, there's a very specific piece of information:

"The maximal working temperature is 268 °C (514 °F)"

But by that point in the paragraph, more than one type or grade of glass has been mentioned, and it isn't possible to tell which one of them this statement refers to. (Or is it the same for all of them? In any case, it needs specifying.) TooManyFingers (talk) 16:26, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

228 Agathe

Agathe (minor planet designation: 228 Agathe) is a stony main belt asteroid, about 9 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Johann Palisa on 19 August 1882 at Vienna Observatory, Austria. Photometric observations during 2003 showed a rotation period of 6.48 ± 0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.27 ± 0.03 in magnitude. An earlier study yielded results that are consistent with these estimates. Agathe is the lowest numbered asteroid to have an Earth-MOID as low as 0.657 AU. On 23 August 2029 the asteroid will be 0.659 AU from Earth.

Agathe was named after the youngest daughter of Austrian astronomer Theodor von Oppolzer (1841–1886), professor of astronomy in Vienna.

Wikipedia talk:Third opinion

User FAQ

 * See Wikipedia talk:Third opinion/User FAQ

Is there a tutorial or instructions page for future responders?
I'm thinking about monitoring several 3O discussion to see how they develop, with a view to perhaps becoming a 3O responder at some future point. Is there an instructions page or tutorial where I can read up on best practices for 3O responders? I'm thinking of something like the instructions for New Page Patrol reviewers, or the Articles for creation reviewing instructions. Anything like that exist here? It would be great to have a page summarizing the collective advice of regular 3O folks here distilled into a Project page about best practices in 3O, to encourage other editors who might want to volunteer to help out here. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 08:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Other than the instructions provided on the main page, I don't believe there is such a thing. I understand how it might be helpful in theory, but in my experience, every dispute is so different that it would be difficult to provide advice that could reasonably be broadly applied, though perhaps more experienced 3O editors might feel differently.
 * That said, perhaps a 3O mentorship program, where interested 3O editors have the opportunity to observe disputes, might be useful, but by the same token, everyone can already see the disputes that get listed and nothing's stopping anyone from lurking on the discussions. DonIago (talk) 14:30, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * General advice: Read up on policies and guidelines, and especially the gamut of dispute resolution pages (including essays). You can't know every guideline but get a feel for what's out there and what to search for when needed.  Follow discussions at the Teahouse, here, RfCs, etc., look at the initial posts and think of how you'd resolve it, then see how other editors approached the issue.  Keep in mind that 3O is non-binding so solutions at this level have to be agreeable to both parties. Sometimes that means talking editors through the guidelines and why they exist. Other times it means coming up with a third approach that neither of the initial parties considered. – Reidgreg (talk) 13:21, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

UX feedback
Since the editors are supposed to remove active disagreements before providing a third opinion, there is no indication how many disagreements have been handled and to a casual observer the project could appear inactive. Possibly it would help to provide some statistics (e.g., X requests for 3O, Y requests answered in the last 365 days) on the project page. Alaexis¿question? 06:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

clarification on third opinion request
@Doniago When I made my third opinion request, I was specifically referring to only my dispute with Mason.Jones. ― Howard • 🌽33 18:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

 * That wasn't clear (to me) from your filing, as the section you linked to unambiguously had more than two editors involved. You're welcome to relist, but I might suggest breaking off the pertinent dispute into its own section first so that it's more clear where the specific dispute with only two involved editors lies. If/when you've done that and wish to relist, I'm happy to strike my comment from the Talk page. DonIago (talk) 18:09, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I have created the subsection. ― Howard • 🌽33 18:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I wish to relist also. ― Howard • 🌽33 18:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I have no objection; I'll strike my comment on the Talk page where the dispute's occurring. DonIago (talk) 20:17, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've recently removed my 3O request, I'm conceding this dispute now because I honestly do not have the capacity to continue it. ― Howard • 🌽33 16:42, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Two difficulties
Intermittently I have been sharing my third opinion. I find following difficulties.

1) We do not have system of getting notified when a 3O request comes.

2) Other than few exceptions most users do not provide reasonable enough summary -at the article talk page dispute section- as has been suggested. Practically for us it becomes WP:TLDR issue

I suppose two of above reasons may cause some WP:3O requests going unattended. Idk if these issues have been discussed previously and also do not know, can there be any solution to it?

Thought sharing is better than not sharing it.  Bookku   (talk) 08:19, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
 * On 1), I find watchlisting works well. 2) is an occasional problem, but if you ask the involved editors for a summary they normally give it (maybe with some arguing). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:40, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

230 Athamantis

Athamantis (minor planet designation: 230 Athamantis) is a fairly large main-belt asteroid that was discovered by the German-Austrian astronomer K. de Ball on September 3, 1882, in Bothkamp. It was his only asteroid discovery. The asteroid was named after Athamantis, daughter of Athamas the mythical Greek king of Orchomenus.

Photometric observations of this asteroid gave a light curve with a period of 23.99 hours and a brightness variation of more than 0.20 in magnitude. It has the spectrum of an S-type asteroid. During 1991, the asteroid was observed occulting a star. The resulting chords provided a cross-section diameter estimate of 101.8 km.

Imi Lichtenfeld

Imrich "Imi" Lichtenfeld (אימריך “אימי” ליכטנפלד; Lichtenfeld Imre; 26 May 1910 – 9 January 1998), also known as Imi Sde-Or (אימי שדאור), was a Hungarian-born Israeli martial artist. He is widely recognized for developing Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art.

Early life
Lichtenfeld was born on 26 May 1910 to a Hungarian Jewish family in Budapest in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His family moved to Pressburg (present-day Bratislava), where his father, Samuel Lichtenfeld, was a chief inspector on the local police force and a former circus acrobat; he grew up there. Lichtenfeld trained at the Hercules Gymnasium, which was owned by his father, who taught self-defense.

Lichtenfeld was a successful Swimmer, Boxer, Wrestler, and Gymnast since his youth. He competed at national and international levels and was a champion and member of the Slovak National Wrestling Team. In 1928, he won the Slovak Youth Wrestling Championship, and in 1929, the adult championship in the light and middleweight divisions. That year, he also won the national boxing championship and an international gymnastics championship.

Development of Krav Maga
In the late 1930s, anti-Semitic riots threatened the Jewish population of Bratislava in Europe. Together with other Jewish boxers and wrestlers, Lichtenfeld helped to defend his Jewish neighborhood against fascist gangs. He quickly decided that sport has little in common with real combat and began developing a system of techniques for practical self-defense in life-threatening situations.

In 1935, Lichtenfeld visited Mandatory Palestine with a team of Jewish wrestlers to participate in the Maccabiah Games but could not participate because of a broken rib that resulted from his training while en route. This led to the fundamental Krav Maga precept, 'do not get hurt while training.' Lichtenfeld returned to Czechoslovakia to face increasing anti-Semitic violence. Lichtenfeld organized a group of young Jews to protect his community. On the streets, he acquired hard-won experience and a crucial understanding of the differences between sport fighting and street fighting. He developed his fundamental self-defense principle: 'use natural movements and reactions' for defense, combined with an immediate and decisive counterattack. From this evolved the refined theory of 'simultaneous defense and attack' while 'never occupying two hands in the same defensive movement.'

In 1940, Lichtenfeld fled the rise of Nazism in Slovakia, heading for Palestine on the Aliyah Bet vessel, Pencho, which shipwrecked on the Dodecanese Islands in the Aegean Sea. He reached Palestine in 1942 after serving with distinction in the British supervised Czechoslovak 11th Infantry Battalion in North Africa. In 1944, Lichtenfeld began training Haganah fighters in his areas of expertise: physical fitness, swimming, wrestling, use of the knife, and defenses against knife attacks. During this period, he trained several elite units of the Haganah and Palmach (striking force of the Haganah and forerunner of the special units of the IDF), including the Pal-yam, as well as groups of police officers. In 1948, when the State of Israel was founded and the IDF was formed, Lichtenfeld became Chief Instructor for Physical Fitness and Krav Maga at the IDF School of Combat Fitness. He served in the IDF for about 20 years, during which time he developed and refined his unique method for self-defense and hand-to-hand combat. Lichtenfeld retired from the Israeli military in 1964.

Later life
After he finished his active duty, Lichtenfeld modified Krav Maga to fit the needs of police forces and ordinary civilians. The method was formulated to suit everyone – man and woman, boy or girl — who might need it to survive an attack while sustaining minimal harm. To disseminate his method, Lichtenfeld established two training centers, one in Tel Aviv and the other in Netanya. He trained teams of Krav Maga instructors, who were accredited by him and the Israeli Ministry of Education. He also created the Israeli Krav Maga Association (IKMA) on 22 October 1978 and the International Krav Maga Federation in 1995. On 9 January 1998, Lichtenfeld died in Netanya, Israel, at the age of 87. He is buried at Netanya Shikun Vatikim Cemetery on Section פ.

Animal bite

An animal bite is a wound, usually a puncture or laceration, caused by the teeth. An animal bite usually results in a break in the skin but also includes contusions from the excessive pressure on body tissue from the bite. The contusions can occur without a break in the skin. Bites can be provoked or unprovoked. Other bite attacks may be apparently unprovoked. Biting is a physical action not only describing an attack but it is a normal response in an animal as it eats, carries objects, softens and prepares food for its young, removes ectoparasites from its body surface, removes plant seeds attached to its fur or hair, scratching itself, and grooming other animals. Animal bites often result in serious infections and mortality. Animal bites not only include injuries from the teeth of reptiles, mammals, but fish, and amphibians. Arthropods can also bite and leave injuries.

Signs and symptoms
Bite wounds can cause a number of signs and symptoms
 * Generalized tissue damage due to tearing and scratching
 * Serious hemorrhage if major blood vessels are pierced
 * Infection by bacteria or other pathogens, including rabies
 * Introduction of venom into the wound by venomous animals such as some snakes
 * Introduction of other irritants into the wound, causing inflammation and itching

Classification
Bites are usually classified by the type of animal causing the wound. Many different animals are known to bite humans.

Vertebrates

 * Companion animals, including dogs, cats, rats, ferrets, and parrots, may bite humans.
 * Wildlife may sometimes bite humans. The bites of various mammals such as bats, skunks, wolves, raccoons, etc. may transmit rabies, which is almost always fatal if left untreated.
 * Human bites are themselves capable of doing great flesh damage, but are particularly known for spreading communicable diseases

Involuntary biting injuries due to closed-fist injuries from fists striking teeth (referred to as reverse bite injuries) are a common consequence of fist fights. These have been termed "fight bites". Injuries in which the knuckle joints or tendons of the hand are bitten into tend to be the most serious.

Teething infants are known to bite objects to relieve pressure on their growing teeth, and may inadvertently bite people's hands or arms while doing so. Young children may also bite people out of anger or misbehaviour, although this is usually corrected early in the child's life.

Reverse bite injury
A reverse bite injury (also called a clenched fist injury, closed fist injury, or fight bite) results when a person punches another person in the face, and the skin (and sometimes tendons) of their knuckles are cut against the teeth of the person they are punching. The proximity of the wound is often located over the metacarpophalangeal joint resulting in tendon injury.

The medical treatment of this injury is similar to those of a human bite, but may also involve damage of the underlying tendons.

These injuries should be managed as other human bites: wound irrigation and antibiotics are essential as human saliva can contain a number of bacteria. The nature of these injuries is such that even if the injury is optimally managed, poor outcomes may still occur.

Arthropods
The bites of arthropods have some of the most serious health consequences known. Mosquito bites transmit serious disease and result in millions of deaths and illnesses in the world. Ticks also transmit many diseases such as Lyme disease.
 * Spider bite
 * Insect bites and stings
 * Flea bites are responsible for the transmission of plague.
 * Mosquito bites are responsible for the transmission of dengue fever and malaria.
 * Leech bite

Trauma
A natural consequence of a bite is tissue trauma at the site. Trauma may consist of scratching, tearing, punture or laceration of the skin, hematoma (bruising), embedding of foreign objects, for example a tooth or hair, damage to or severing of underlying structures such as connective tissue or muscle, amputations, and the ripping off of skin and hair. If major blood vessels are damaged, severe blood loss can occur.

Infection
Pathogen organisms can be introduced into the bite. Some of the pathogens can originate from the mouth of the 'biter', the substrate onto which the injured person or animal can fall or from the naturally occurring microorganisms that are present on the skin or hair of the animal. The advent of antibiotics improved the outcome of bite wound infections.

Rabies
Animal bites where skin has been penetrated, most commonly by dogs and bats, transmit rabies to humans. Rabies from other animals is rare. If the animal is caught alive or dead with its head preserved, the head can be analyzed to detect the disease. Signs of rabies include foaming at the mouth, growling, self-mutilation, jerky behavior, red eyes, and hydrophobia.

If the animal cannot be captured, preventative rabies treatment is recommended in many places. Several countries are known not to have native rabies, see the Wikipedia page for prevalence of rabies.

Treatment
The first step in treatment includes washing the bite wound. If there is a low risk of infection the wound may be sutured. Debridement and drainage of bite wounds was practiced in the pre-antibiotic era, but high rates of infection still occurred. A 2019 Cochrane systematic review aimed to evaluate the healing and infection rates in bite wounds based on if/when they were stitched closed. The review authors looked for studies that compared stitching wounds closed straight away, leaving them open for a short time or not stitching them at all. Due to a lack of high-certainty evidence, the review authors concluded that more robust randomised controlled trials were needed to fully answer this question.

Antibiotics
Antibiotics to prevent infection are recommended for dog and cat bites of the hand, and human bites if they are more than superficial. They are also recommended in those who have poor immune function. Evidence for antibiotics to prevent infection in bites in other areas is not clear.

The first choice is amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, and if the person is penicillin-allergic, doxycycline and metronidazole. The antistaphylococcal penicillins (e.g., cloxacillin, nafcillin, flucloxacillin) and the macrolides (e.g., erythromycin, clarithromycin) are not used for empirical therapy, because they do not cover Pasteurella species.

Vaccinations
Rabies prevention is generally available in North America and the Northern European states.

Tetanus toxoid treatment is recommended in those whose vaccinations are not up to date and have a bite that punctures the skin. Tetanus immune globulin is indicated in people with more than 10 years since prior vaccination. Tetanus boosters (Td) should be given every ten years.

TT = tetanus toxoid; TIG: tetanus immune globulin

Mosquito bites
Antihistamines are effective treatment for the symptoms from bites. Many diseases such as malaria and dengue are transmitted by mosquitoes.

Epidemiology
Human bites are the third most frequent type of bite after dog and cat bites. Dog bites are commonplace, with children the most commonly bitten and the face and scalp the most common target. About 4.7 million dog bites are reported annually in the United States. The US estimated annual count of animal bites is 250,000 human bites, 1 to 2 million dog bites, 400,000 cat bites, and 45,000 bites from snakes. Bites from skunks, horses, squirrels, rats, rabbits, pigs, and monkeys may be up to 1 percent of bite injuries. Pet ferrets attacks that were unprovoked have caused serious facial injuries. Non-domesticated animals though assumed to be more common especially as a cause of rabies infection, make up less than one percent of reported bite wounds. When a person is bitten, it is more likely to occur on the right arm, most likely due to defensive reactions when the person uses their dominant arm. Estimates are that three-quarters of bites are located on the arms or legs of humans. Bites to the face of humans constitute only 10 percent of the total. Two-thirds of bite injuries in humans are suffered by children aged ten and younger.

Up to three-fourths of dog bites happen to those younger than 20 years-old. In the United States, the costs associated with dog bites are estimated to be more than $1 billion annually. The age groups that suffer most from dog bites are children 5 to 9 years-old. Often, bites go unreported and no medical treatment given - these bites go unreported. As many as one percent of pediatric emergency room visits are for treatment for animal bites. This is more frequent during the summer months. Up to five percent of children receiving emergency care for dog bites are then admitted to the hospital. Bites typically occur in the late afternoon and early evening. Girls are bitten more frequently by cats than they are by dogs. Boys are bitten by dogs two times more often than girls are bitten by dogs.

History
The bites of humans are recorded during the biblical era. Reports of secondary infection occurring after a human bite in children have been noted in the United States since at least 1910. Morbidity and mortality rates improved with the use of antibiotics.

Poko (TV series)

Poko is a Canadian stop motion children's television series about a young boy, his pet dog, and his toy monkey. Produced in Canada by The Halifax Film Company, Poko was created by Jeff Rosen, and began production in 2003 and ended in 2006 after three production cycles. Poko aired in Canada on CBC Television in the Kids' CBC programming block, and was broadcast in Turkey on Yumurcak TV until the channel closed in mid-June 2016. It was narrated by actor and dancer Cory Bowles. In Brazil, it was narrated by the frontman of Capital Inicial, Dinho Ouro Preto.

The show was awarded the 2004 Gemini for Best Pre-school Program in 2003 and the Alliance for Children & Television (ACT) Grand Prize in 2007.

Main

 * Poko is a little boy who, every day, plays in his bedroom, or out in his backyard, but he also has a magic finger. When he says "Poko pippity pop!", he can draw objects, which then become real, by tracing them in the air with his finger. Poko often encounters obstacles and gets cranky or upset, but then cheers up with the help of an unseen narrator. Voiced by Cameron Davidson.
 * Minus is Poko's pet dog. He is very playful, and often causes trouble. Minus is named for the sign minus (–); while not always understanding what's going on, he is sometimes showing much more human-like behaviour, such as being able to walk on his hind feet, play soccer, or dance. He is named for his ability to erase Poko's creations from existence (when they aren't needed anymore or he doesn't like them) by using his nose like an eraser. His silly antics often cause Poko to laugh and say "Silly Minus!"
 * Mr. Murphy is Poko's stuffed toy monkey, who usually just sits around. He can sometimes be seen to have moved his hands (such as to shrug, or cover his eyes), but is never seen actually moving.

Recurring

 * Bibi is a young girl who is Poko's friend. She comes over sometimes to have a play date with Poko. Bibi can use her magic sticker book in a way that resembles Poko's ability, by opening the book to a sticker of an object and then making that object real, while saying "Bibi bibbity bop!". Bibi first appeared in the second season. Voiced by Claudia Ottosen.

Show structure
The show follows the same sequence in every episode:
 * Title sequence
 * Poko wakes up (longer version only in season 1)
 * Indoor episode
 * Play sequence
 * Mighty Murph story (season 1); Poko's Playhouse (season 2)
 * Play sequence
 * Outdoors episode
 * Play sequence
 * Ending sequence

Episodes
Each episode features two segments. The first one is indoors, after Poko wakes up. The second is outdoors, in the garden. In both, Poko encounters a problem, but usually overcomes it after observing a smaller creature (such as a bird, ladybug, worm, etc.) solving a similar problem.

Also beneficial to children, the narrator helps Poko to name and understand his feelings, and find appropriate ways to deal with them: for example, on some occasions, when Poko has become angry at Minus, he has gone and given a blast on his tuba to release his frustration. Another common solution is for Poko to give Mr. Murphy a hug. In this way, the show suggests positive methods of dealing with problems. When this happens they usually perform the following: "hug a monkey...hug him tight...hug him till you feel alright". Poko does either that, or if Mr. Murphy isn't available, Poko releases his frustration by doing a dance called "The Poko Polka". He also has choices to release his frustration: either spending time alone on his swing, or shake his frustration out.

In the second season, a new segment was added called "Poko's Playhouse", in which Poko, Minus, and Bibi perform for a stuffed toy audience on a "Grand Ole Opry" type play-stage, with children performing a background song for each episode.

Similar to Toopy and Binoo, some episodes made appearances in more than one episode.

Play sequence
Two thirty-second shorts exist in each episode where Poko, Minus and Mr. Murphy play against a monocolor background. They may be swimming, surfing, riding an imaginary Roller coaster, or doing other activities or even dressing up like a ball.

Mighty Murph
In the middle of each show in season one, Poko reads a Mighty Murph story. Each one is made using Macromedia Flash, in cartoon style, and involves a baby Mr. Murphy in some dilemma, such as being hungry, or having nowhere to play. He then imagines he is Mighty Murph (a superhero who is a parody of Superman, as Mighty Murph can be seen doing a scene which is a reference to the Superman 1940s film series), and flies around to find a solution to his problem. His search is fruitless, and he realizes the best place is just where he is, as his own self with his mother. The stories are told by the narrator.

Awards

 * Gemini - Best Pre-School Program (2004)
 * ACT Award - Grand Prize (2007)
 * ACT Award - Animation Age 3-5 (2007)

The Music Man (song)

"The Music Man" is a popular cumulative folksong among children, rugby players, and Hash House Harriers.

History
"The Music Man" is a free translation of the original German folksong from Silesia "Ich bin ein Musikante" ('I am a musician'), collected by Ludwig Erk and Wilhelm Irmer, and published in Die deutschen Volkslieder mit ihren Singweisen (1838).

"The Music Man" was translated and arranged by George Coote and Harold Packham in 1951, for the Tonic Music Company of London. It was recorded in May that year by Billy Cotton and his band, and in October by The Radio Revellers. The Irish Rovers covered the song for Children of the Unicorn (1976). By the time of Barbara Ireson and Christopher Rowe's book Over and Over Again (1978), it was thought to be a traditional song. The song was recorded by Black Lace, a British pop group from Ossett in West Yorkshire, in 1989 and reached #52 in the UK singles charts.

Another translation of the same song is "I Am a Fine Musician". This was first translated by Felix Günther for The Children's Record Guild (starting "I am a fine musician, I travel through the world"), and sung by George Rasely and Mardi Bryant as "The Musicians" on the record Sing Along (1949). Charles Randolph Grean decided to produce a version of this song; he recruited Tom Glazer to write it (starting "I am a fine musician, I practice every day"), and it was performed by Dinah Shore, Betty Hutton, Tony Martin, and Phil Harris as The Musicians (1951). This was later performed on The Dick Van Dyke Show (6 March and 18 December 1963), and Sesame Street (21 November 1969). A variant of the song, ("I am a fine musician, I travel round the world") was included in Marion Grayson's Let's Do Fingerplays (1962), and was mentioned by Henry Miller. A related version "I am a young musician, from London I have come", was published in Die schönsten Lieder 2 (1995), with the first line rhyming with the instrument ("from London I have come ... drum"; "I come from old Berlin ... violin", and so on).

Other similar songs, perhaps based to varying extents on the original German version, include Peter Kennedy's "The German Musicianer" in Folk Songs of Britain and Northern Ireland (1975), and Walter Greenaway's "The Wonderful Musician" (1871), which has a chorus that begins: "A big drum, a kettle drum, the fiddle, flute, and piccolo, piano, harp, harmonium and many more beside".

Song structure and lyrics
Each verse begins with the following chorus lines, divided between the lead singer ("The Music Man") and the audience. There are variations which follow roughly the same tune:
 * The Music Man: "I am the music man, And I come from down your way and I can play!"
 * Audience: "What can you play?"

The line "I come from down your way" is found in the original 1951 recordings. Some later versions change this line to "I come from far away".

For each verse the participants act out different instruments with specific actions. Some of the actions for the adult version can be rude or crude. They may also attempt to imitate the sound of each instrument. It is sometimes performed in cabaret with the audience challenging the artistes to ever more extravagant – and difficult – renditions of, for example, the flugelhorn.

After each verse, singers sing the previous verses in reverse order before singing the main chorus lines again.

Talk:St James's Palace

Abbreviations
The official website of the palace lists it as St. James Palace. With a period. Perhaps the site should be updated to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.23.215.180 (talk) 15:30, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Possessive case
Why why oh why is there an s after the apostrophe in all of these articles? Is there some kind of Wikipedia ruling saying that all articles with a possessive ending in s must be misspelt? The possessive form in the English language is "'s", except when the word ends in s, in which case only the apostrophe should be present. -- D  B  D  19:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I thought everyone knew that St. James's is correct. Pronounced "s'nJAMEsis". --Wetman 21:17, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Forgive me, but I've never heard that before. Slightly miffed I am - why is this so? -- D  B  D  21:29, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Probably because the Court of St. James's is unaware of Wikipedia's rules. --Wetman 03:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia's rules? Surely the pedia has nothing to do with it - it's an issue of the rules of English grammar! -- D  B  D  08:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You mean, the rules that allow names that end in 's' to have 's on the end? *innocent look* James's, Thomas's, so I was taught. Skittle 22:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I have always believed that the extra "s" is not used when the name ends in "s". The Wikipedia article on apostrophes pretends to address the issue, but doesn't really. In any case, I never use an "s" after the apostrophe for my own name (Travis)... but conventions may be different in wacky Ol' England. Us Yanks do everything wrong. LordAmeth 12:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Doubtless everyone is aware that the 's is an elision of his, viz "Saint James his Palace". Whether the transition was effected in the fifteenth or the sixteenth century I don't know. --Wetman 18:32, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Look, in the olden days an 's' was added after the appostrophe. Now, we usually skip out the extra 's'. This palace has, I believe, had its name since the aforementioned "olden days". —anskas 00:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Correct form is to add an additional 's' after the appostrophe where the first 's' is part of the word or name. Apostrophe without any 's' is only correct if added to a plural. 82.153.105.112 00:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Quite so. Only plurals loose the post-apostrophe s. It was refreshing to see J K Rowling use the correct possessive "Sirus's" etc. in her books MrMarmite (talk) 13:03, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation?
of St James's Palace and of "Sirius's". Is it I think you don't speak /Si.ri.us.s/ in the end. --Schwab7000 (talk) 17:38, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * /Saint-James/ and /Si.ri.us/
 * or /Saint-Jame-ses/ and /Si.ri.yu.ses/?

White Eagle of England medal
Good Day,

I am doing some research on an object of interest which was called "White Eagle of England" medallion/medal/decoration. It was supposed to have been awarded in the early 1920's at the Court of St. James. The only information I have is the medal appears to look like the French Medal of Honor, but with more edges. I am sorry I can't give more details, but possibly you might know of it from information more available to you. Are you familiar with it or could you please suggest where I might be able to locate someone who could assist me? I do appreciate any assistance you can give me. Thank you, Gary

According to Royal Residences 'http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page589.asp'St. James's Palace is still the official residence of the Sovereign.

Contradictory Sentences
Second sentence, "... it has remained the official residence of the Sovereign" is contradictory to " ending St James's status as the official residence of the monarch."

The Princess Royal is not a 'minor' member of the Royal Family.

Battle of the Overpass

The Battle of the Overpass was an attack by Ford Motor Company against the United Auto Workers (UAW) on May 26, 1937, at the River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan. The UAW had recently organized workers at Ford's competitors, and planned to hand out leaflets at an overpass leading to the plant's main gate in view of many of the 90,000 employees. Before the UAW organizers could begin, they were attacked by Ford's "quasi-military" security service and the Dearborn police.

In the aftermath, Ford Motor Company attempted to control the narrative by destroying news photographs onsite. The surviving photographs were published nationally as evidence of Ford's brutality, helping to turn public perception in favor of the union.

The incident was preceded by the 1932 Ford Hunger March, in which hunger marchers were attacked with gunfire from the Miller Road pedestrian overpasses. The site of that attack remained an entrance to the Rouge plant, and the overpass bears the logo of the United Auto Workers in addition to Ford's.

Background
The United Auto Workers labor union was founded in 1935, and by 1937 it had attracted significant support. Strikes in the United States in the 1930s extracted major concessions from employers in multiple industries, although they often resulted in violence against strikers.

Though strikes resulted in major victories against employers nationally, the Ford Motor Company proved difficult to organize. Ford controlled the city government of Dearborn, and used its police department alongside the company's Service Department to violently intimidate Ford workers and union organizers. Workers were routinely surveilled inside and outside the plants, at the direction of Harry Bennett, former boxer and personal associate of Henry Ford. At its peak, the Ford Service Department numbered 3,000 spies and thugs, and was described by The New York Times as "the largest private quasi-military organization in existence".

The most extreme example of Ford's repression was the Ford Hunger March (or Ford Massacre) of 1932, which was planned as a peaceful march from Detroit into Dearborn, ending at the Rouge Plant employment office on Miller Road. The march was brutally suppressed by Bennett, his forces, and the Dearborn police, with five marchers killed and dozens injured by machine gun fire.

Ford's history of brutality against union organizers was accompanied by an understanding of the power of its workforce. The Local 174 chapter of UAW organized a sit-down strike against the Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Company of Detroit in early December 1936, which impacted production at the Rouge plant. Local 174 gained members rapidly after its success at Kelsey-Hayes, and planned to organize the workers at the much larger Rouge plant. Tactics developed at Kelsey-Hayes were used at the Flint sit-down strike later that month, which resulted in major gains in membership and national recognition for the UAW.

Conflict
UAW Local 174 planned a leaflet campaign titled, "Unionism, Not Fordism", at the pedestrian overpass above Miller Road at Gate 4 of the River Rouge Plant complex. The leaflet campaign was planned for the shift change, when many of the plant's 90,000 workers would be present. Miller Road and the overpass were both considered public property, and Reuther held a permit for the leaflet campaign from the city of Dearborn.

The leaflets to be distributed by the UAW demanded a work day plan of six hours for US$8 1937, in contrast to the eight-hour day for US$6 1937 then in place. The leaflets cited the success of the organizers at General Motors, Chrysler, and Briggs Manufacturing Company, and promised that the UAW would "End the Ford Service System".

At approximately 2 p.m., several of the leading UAW union organizers, including Walter Reuther and Richard Frankensteen, were asked by a Detroit News photographer, James R. "Scotty" Kilpatrick, to pose for a picture on the overpass, with the Ford sign in the background. While they were posing, men from Ford's Service Department came from behind and beat them. The number of attackers is disputed, but may have been 40.

Frankensteen had his jacket pulled over his head and was kicked and punched. Reuther described the attack:

One union organizer, Richard Merriweather, suffered a broken back from the beating.

Aftermath
The security forces mob attempted to destroy photographic plates, but the Detroit News photographer James R. Kilpatrick hid the plates under the back seat of his car, and surrendered useless plates he had on his front seat. News and photos of the brutal attack made headlines in newspapers across the country.

In spite of the photographs, and many witnesses who had heard his men specifically seek out Frankensteen and Reuther, security director Bennett claimed — "The affair was deliberately provoked by union officials. ... They simply wanted to trump up a charge of Ford brutality. ... I know definitely no Ford service man or plant police were involved in any way in the fight."

The incident greatly increased support for the UAW and hurt Ford's reputation. The National Labor Relations Board pursued a case against the Ford Motor Company, bringing to light other violations of federal law committed by the company. The Battle of the Overpass led to a series of actions against Ford by the UAW, culminating in a 1941 strike at the Rouge. The 1941 strike concluded with a signed contract between the UAW and Ford, the final such contract at the Big Three automakers.

Legacy
A rebuilt overpass stands at Gate 4 of the Rouge plant, along Miller Road. It bears the logos of the United Auto Workers and the Ford Motor Company.

Ladbroke Grove tube station

Ladbroke Grove is a London Underground station on the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines, between Latimer Road and Westbourne Park stations, and in Travelcard Zone 2 set in The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

History
Originally opened by the Hammersmith and City Railway on 13 June 1864, the station was originally named Notting Hill. With the extension of that line from Paddington to Hammersmith it was renamed Notting Hill & Ladbroke Grove in 1880 and Ladbroke Grove (North Kensington) on 1 June 1919 before acquiring the present name in 1938. The renamings were efforts to avoid confusion with the opening of Notting Hill Gate tube station, which had occurred in 1868. The station is named after the street of the same name, where its main entrance is located.

The station is the nearest to Portobello Road Market and market traders and shopkeepers in the market have started a campaign to have the station renamed Portobello Road in an effort to strengthen recognition of the market's proximity. It is worth noting that the roundels at platform level do say "For Portobello Road" underneath the station name in smaller text, enabling passengers to alight if they are looking for the market.

In 2009, because of financial constraints, TfL decided to stop work on a project to provide step-free access at Ladbroke Grove and five other stations, on the grounds that these are relatively quiet stations and some are already one or two stops away from an existing step-free station. Ladbroke Grove is two stops away from Wood Lane which has step-free access. The project at Ladbroke Grove would have provided two new lifts to platform level and a new step-free entrance. £3.06 million was spent on Ladbroke Grove before the project was halted.

Failed Good Article Status
I failed this article because it is insufficiently referenced. joturner 16:47, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

 * To err is human; I must have misread that, thinking it was bibliography in the sense that it was a list of his works (I'm so used to seeing the "References" when referring to actual works). I do have a problem with the section structure of the article, but will reinstate the nomination due to the mistake. joturner 05:02, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

 * And about the "fail" part. The title of the template is . Perhaps "declined" would be a more appropriate word, but I'm going with the template name which has been accepted for quite some time. joturner 05:14, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I note now that the Good Article status may be failed/declined at Good articles/Nominations by any passer-by who is so inclined: "everyone has veto power". I won't waste any more time over "Good Articles".  --Wetman 05:45, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I concur with joturner's conclusion but not for the same reason. The references seem appropriate to me, and the pictures are quite nice. The article needs a copy-edit to reword short, choppy sentences and avoid clumbsy wording such as, "learned to engrave shopcards and the like." I do not believe it is broad enough because it focuses almost entirely on describing and interpreting his works. There is very little about his personal life (including his death), the different thoughts/philosophy/artists that influenced his work, and in turn how his works influenced others (and who it influenced). I would imagine all that information would be fairly important, but it is nearly completely absent from the article. - Dozenist talk  13:06, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

 * 15-April-2007: The article on William Hogarth does, indeed, contain numerous details; however, because Hogarth drew political cartoons, the socio-political events of the time period are addressed to explain the artwork, in the same manner as addressing Mark Twain's social commentary contained in his writings. When a biographical article involves politics, expect some of the complexity of a US President or famous state governor.  Try scanning through sections to bypass excess details.  -Wikid77 05:04, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Enlarging avoid PNG
15-April-2007 - Why Wikipedia is so S-L-O-W: The article on William Hogarth is an excellent example for converting to quick JPEG images and sizing the width of images, since so many paintings are explained in the text. There was one huge PNG sketch image about the English Stage, near the top, causing a delay, so I linked to a quick JPEG version from Wikimedia Commons for rapid display of that sketch (over 6x times faster than PNG). With that massive slow PNG file avoided, I expanded the size of 6 other paintings about 65% so they seem about double in size. Wikipedia handling of quick JPEG images is quite amazing in 2007, so even though the 6 other paintings are vastly larger and easily seen now, the amount of extra image-data is still less than the entire, huge data transfer needed for that single massive PNG file which was replaced with a JPEG. PNG files are typically so inefficient that a few PNG files are typically many, many times larger than the entire article and all other GIF/JPEG images COMBINED. In 2007, Wikipedia often handles PNG files as, not just 3x times larger or slower than JPEG format, but PNG files often expand to a massive 7x or 9x or often 14x times slower/larger than equivalent JPEG files. Consequently,
 * avoid 99% of PNG files, like the plague:
 * if a painter has a JPEG painting, display that instead of a massive PNG image;
 * if only PNG files are available, yikes, make them as tiny as possible; tiny PNG files are only 3x times slower than JPEG, while larger PNG files can be 14x or even 25x times larger, slower than JPEG files of the same width/height;

 * if only PNG files are available, consider a text-link to a PNG file, instead of directly displaying the actual cumbersome PNG image, so a user can click to get the slow time-consuming delay when loading the huge, gargantuan, bulky PNG data: a text-link to an image is coded with colon-prefix " " as:

 * once the devastating, crippling effect of those massive PNG files is bypassed, enlarge the JPEG images as 250px to 300px so that people don't have to "click to enlarge" just to see a basic image; highly detailed images could be 350px-400px, but usually 300px or less is adequate without squeezing text-lines to just 5-words-per-line; larger than 300px is often too big for nearby text.

An article that displays several JPEG files is likely to have more text data than all JPEG-images combined; however, an article with huge, massive PNG files will typically be 80% PNG data to 20% text, overwhelmed by the slow, cumbersome PNG files clogging Internet transmission. -Wikid77 06:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

fix the clutter
There are so many images on this article that it is quite cluttered. How do you editors feel about moving most of them to a gallery at the bottom of the article? Kingturtle (talk) 13:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The gallery is in place. I have deleted all the explcit pixel widths from the images, which considerably reduces the cluttered effect. Is that sufficient for you? - Pointillist (talk) 23:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

 * "A gallery is not a tool to shoehorn images into an article, and a gallery consisting of an indiscriminate collection of images of the article subject should generally either be improved in accordance with the above paragraph or moved to Wikimedia Commons." WP:IG

 * I was passing by [stalking a helpful editor] when I noticed the instability regarding this. It is the 'indiscriminate' part that concerns me: a much larger gallery, and the cat, is available at our image repository; it is preferable to direct to that instead of an arbitrary selection at this sister. Images should support the article—an example or, better yet, a cited mention,—other content has its place at commons. This does not deprive a reader, they get text here and images with a klik, and resolves what might always be contestable, an individual preference. cygnis insignis 14:25, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The gallery (never edited by me until yesterday) is hardly unstable, having been in place since 2008 - see above. If you bother to read the article you will see that most of the gallery images are mentioned in the text, and the selection cannot be called random. The gallery here is very consistent with what art FAs have these days. It might be moved up into the text in single rows. If you don't like lots of images, don't read articles (or books) on art. Johnbod (talk) 15:53, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * "Removed template again. Take it to talk, with arguments referring to WP:IG." So I did. cygnis insignis 16:35, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * And then immediately removed the gallery completely! You need to produce arguments for this which will cut ice at the VA project, & you haven't begun yet. Johnbod (talk) 16:41, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Previous discussion resulted in the guidelines, which I quoted, as you requested. I have no intention in being drawn into arguing with someone who takes such an obnoxious stance "if you had bothered" "if you don't like…" Go chase yourself mate. cygnis insignis 16:45, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Bye then.. Johnbod (talk) 16:47, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

The guidelines on WP:IG are very clear, and this quote in particular is relevant to the article "One rule of thumb to consider: if, due to its content, a gallery would only lend itself to a title along the lines of "Gallery" or "Images of [insert article title]", as opposed to a more descriptive title, the gallery should either be revamped or moved to the Commons." And please stop removing the cleanup-gallery template. memphisto 17:44, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It is not in fact relevant. This refers to the title of the whole article; articles called "Gallery of ..." used to be fairly common several years ago, and by consensus a few like Gallery of sovereign-state flags remain. Clearly "Gallery of William Hogarth images" would be a ridiculous title for this article.  I'm afraid you just don't understand the policy, which I played a considerable part in drafting. I'm not sure I can agree it is "very clear" if it continues to throw up these misunderstandings. It was originally written mainly to discourage gallery-only articles, but few of these now survive. I'll take this to the project now, and I have adjusted the guideline to clarify matters - Wikipedia_talk:Image_use_policy. Johnbod (talk) 18:38, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree with Johnbod, arguments and discussion and consensus have established that galleries are necessary in cases where visual art works need to be seen in order for them to be understood because words do not suffice and where sufficient accompanying text justifies the imagery (which are not FU but only PD)...Modernist (talk) 20:07, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Is there anyone still working on this article &/OR interested in cleaning it up?
There seems to have been very little input since 2010. I'm wondering if there is anyone who originally worked on it around and who would have qualms about my removing a lot of internal red links to pages that really didn't and don't merit consideration, namely authors of references cited who are highly unlikely to be considered to be notable.

K-65 residues

K-65 residues are the very radioactive mill residues resulting from the uniquely concentrated uranium ore discovered before WW II in Katanga province (Shinkolobwe mine) of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Belgian Congo).

According to Zoellner, "Remnants from typical uranium from the southwestern United States give a radioactive signature of about forty picocuries per gram, about ten times the amount of picocuries per liter of air that is considered safe for humans to breathe. The Shinkolobwe remnants, by contrast, emit a stunning 520,000 picocuries per gram." The Linde Air Products Company and Electro Metallurgical plant near Niagara Falls built the ring-and-plug in Little Boy. Linde Air used the Lake Ontario Ordnance Works site at the end of the war to dispose of its atomic waste, cuttings from the African uranium, some 200 dump trucks' worth. The eventual location of all this waste is called the "Interim Waste Containment Structure" of the Niagara Falls Storage Site of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

This ore, dubbed "K-65", had a record 65% uranium content. It also held very high concentrations of thorium and radium (and their decay products, including radon gas) which are retained in the tailings (residues). The very high concentrations of these extremely toxic, long-lived radionuclides present in these wastes prompted the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council to categorize them as indistinguishable in hazard from High-Level Waste in its 1995 report, "Safety of the High-Level Uranium Ore Residues at the Niagara Falls Storage Site, Lewiston, New York".

The K-65 ores were refined as a key part of the Manhattan Project during World War II at the Linde Ceramics Plant at Tonawanda, NY, and at the Mallinckrodt Chemical Works in St. Louis, MO; these ores were the primary raw material source of ~80% of the uranium used in the Hiroshima bomb. The Mallinckrodt "K-65 residues" were later moved to the Feed Materials Production Center, a Cold War era uranium refinery at Fernald, OH (outside of Cincinnati) which commenced operations in 1951. The refining of "K-65" ore was continued at Fernald. The Linde "K-65 residues" were transported to a storage silo built at the federally appropriated Lake Ontario Ordnance Works site outside of Lewiston, NY, a short distance from Niagara Falls, NY.

How effective is Reggio Emilia in meeting the needs of children?
hi, i am currently doing an individual research proposal on the Reggio approach, on how effective their methods are in meeting the needs of the children. i have been searching the net for weeks looking for articles. do you know of any sites that may contain them or any other way of getting some? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.34.9.250 (talk) 19 February 2005

 * Try the website of Dr. Syliva Chard and her Project Approach articles etc. Simply look up "Project Approach in Early Childhood" or the home page of Dr. Chard. Reggio and project work are similar in design and will Dr. Chard's work will clearly explain how classroom project work meets the intellectual needs of young children. Also, refer to the book "Engaging Children's Minds" by Katz and Chard which explains the theory of project work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.205.43 (talk) 8 January 2006

why do you think the Reggio approach is not international?
-the difficulty is that you cannot "do Reggio". it is a town in Italy :). Though many of the ideas and concepts used in Reggio Emilia can be adapted for use outside of Italy, it exists as it does due to the very nature of the culture it is embedded in...we can't copy the culture without changing our towns, neighborhoods, politics, parents, way of life...we can (and do, internationally) take what we see as the best parts that can be adapted and explore ways to introduce them in our own classrooms.... --71.104.42.35 05:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC) (-written by a public kindergarten teacher who no longer has any power to teach this way due to the political landscape associated with education)

It would be nice if this article actually DESCRIBED the "R-E approach" in the top section, as is, well, sort of the NORM for Wikipedia entries. (Yes, I'm being snide - sorry - this article is insufferably pedantic and obtuse.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.151.190 (talk) 16 July 2006

I found this article very tedious and vague, as well as obsessed with the contrast between American pedagogy and Reggio Emilia, as though the author had an axe to grind. It should be drastically improved and flagged as such, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.7.60.204 (talk) 18 October 2006

I appreciate this article very much, but I'm not sure that it has an neutral point of view (NPOV). Also, I'm not sure that the statements are refer to original sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterham (talk • contribs) 9 January 2007

This approach is used successfully at our local kindergarten, wellington, New Zealand. I have found this article, although incomplete, an informative start to the approach. I encourage others to stop critizing the material, but jump in and start editing. — F red  114  21:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I have many articles and resources concerning Reggio Emilia and will begin updating the resources shortly, in order to help. I feel that the intro paragraph is concise and appropriate and does not need any further editing. HstryQT (talk) 22:22, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

What is it really?
I would really appreciate a succinct summary of what the Reggio Emilia approach actually is. The approach was recommended to me by a prominent lecturer in education, but I am having difficulties finding clear information about this.Totorotroll (talk) 12:03, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The reason you're having trouble finding a succinct explanation is because the approach is not easy to succinctly describe, and it also looks different in every school in which it's implemented. The level of implementation varies depending on the strictness of the guidelines in each state. I think that this article gives a very good explanation of the important concepts involved in the philosophy including the importance of art, the environment, the hundred languages of children, respecting the child, and a project-centered approach. While it's on my to-do list to fix up this article, I've yet to do so. If you need further articles or resources other than what are listed here, email me and let me know (the email function is available through my talk page). Sorry to not be of more help!

sentence that doesn't make sense
I want to correct this: "Educators have to make children aware that respect for their similar is important because everyone is a “legal subject” and part of a group."

but don't know what it means or is meant to mean. Could someone who does know please help. Totorotroll (talk) 17:03, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

It's a nearly word-by-word translation from Italian and does sound odd in English. It means "Educators must make children aware of the importance of respecting the other children ("their similar") because every person holds rights ("legal subject") and is member of a group (implying you must respect fellow group members).

Likely plagiarism
There were several sections that are identical to the article "Reggio Emilia: Some Lessons for U.S. Educators" by Rebecca New. It is from an Early Childhood Education website and looks like it predates this article. Here is the link to the Rebbecca New article: http://ecap.crc.illinois.edu/eecearchive/digests/1993/new93.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redraven87 (talk • contribs) 18:18, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

This entry is a catastrophe
This article is so fundamentally biased and contrary to the spirit and mission of Wikipedia that I think it should be deleted, until someone informed and willing to present a balanced view steps up. I really find it offensive. Alanrobts (talk) 02:41, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I guess that person isn't you. In fact, you haven't even described the nature of the bias you perceive. What specific balancing information do you have in mind? --64.47.152.43 (talk) 22:28, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Neutral POV
As others have pointed out, much of the text here is taken from what are effectively marketing materials for the Reggio Emilia approach. As such, I'm adding the POV tag to call attention to the bias at the top of the page. Carleas (talk) 03:29, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Are you still interested in working on this? And if so, which specific sources in the article do you consider to be marketing materials? Maybe we can try to fix up this page together. I'm willing to search for good sources and possibly make edits on the article. Left guide (talk) 11:07, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I may have time to revisit it in the next few weeks. I haven't kept up with it since adding the POV tag, but it looks like it's been substantially rewritten since then .  My concern was that most of the sources at the time were various Reggio advocacy orgs, and no e.g. studies of objective outcomes.  Not sure if anything like that has been added.
