See Manual of Style (China-related articles) for other Zh- templates.

Moving to zh-sp and zh-tp
I recommend we sort the uses of this template into either simplified or traditional. To do that just look at the "What links here" link and replace the zh-cp templates with either zh-sp or zh-tp as appropriate. If the character is ambiguous (as they often are), I recommend picking the one more appropriate for the context... ie simplified for contemporary articles relating to China and traditional for articles relating to Taiwan. Another alternative is to just represent both, which we can do by using either the zh-tsp or zh-stp template. --BenjaminTsai Talk 06:09, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Please see my message on your usertalkpage and the zh-c tfd page. Thanks. -- Миборовский U 06:15, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * No. In the case where s and t are different, then they should be specified with a more specific template, but if they are the same, we should use this template. Specifying t or s on the basis of "context" is ridiculous, unprecise, and misleading. Just because characters are used in certain context does not make them "traditional" or "simplified". Characters are "simplified" if they have been made to differ from "traditional". They are "traditional" if another simplified form exists. By specifying either s or t, you imply that the other exists when it does not. Listing the same chinese both is reundant and unncessary. i just dont see what is wrong with this template. --Jiang 07:43, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Specifying t or s (or both) on the basis of context is not ridiculous and is a fairly straight forward process, but I will not try to convince you on this point. I am willing to concede that it is not necessary to make this distinction in cases where both character set overlaps.  My contention now with zh-cp (and zh-c) is that it is not immediately clear by the context name that it should only be used where traditional and simplified overlap.  Indeed with zh-c, there was no zh-t or zh-s until earlier today.  My suggestion is to move or rename the template to zh-up (and zh-u for zh-c) to emphasize from the very template name that it should only be used when both traditional and simplified overlap. --BenjaminTsai Talk 07:58, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * The concensus appears to be to just keep zh-c/cp/cpw and to leave a note to make sure people only use these templates for instances where simplified and traditional coincide. I still feel 'u' would be more intuitive than 'c' however, as mentioned on my talk page, since "it's fairly straight forward process for a bot to detect violation on the uniformity law so I suppose it is not too important a point." --BenjaminTsai Talk 08:18, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

"pinyin" or "Pinyin"
Is there a reason why "Pinyin" is not capitalised? When it refers to Hanyu Pinyin, not just any phonetic alphabet, it should be capitalised. — Babelfisch 02:08, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Because it's not necessarily referring to Hanyu Pinyin, but rather to the generic family of extremely-closely-related transliteration methods known as pinyin (for example, there's also Tongyong Pinyin). —Lowellian (reply) 03:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Quite by accident, while translating the template into Macedonian, I translated in on the oroginal (english) page. So I would like to ask an administrator to revert it for me. Sorry... --B. Jankuloski 12:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Font
English text is showing up in a strange font when this template is used in an article. Can this be fixed, as this template is written in very confusing computer language? Badagnani 06:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lindsay Espinosa. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's an example of how to add references: Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. " Interview with Chzz", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22.

== References ==

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at.

Warning
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Kansas Bear (talk) 19:49, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Fínnachta

Fínnachta, son of Ollom Fotla, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland in succession to his father. His given name was Elim. There is said to have been snow of wine (Old Irish fín, "wine", snechta, "snow") in his reign, from which he gained his better-known name. He ruled for twenty years before dying of plague at Mag Inis in Ulster, and was succeeded by his brother Slánoll. The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 913–895 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1278–1258 BC.

Daft Punk is the collective name of Paris musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. The duo are considered one of the most successful electronic music collaborations of all time, both in album sales and in critical acclaim. The name Daft Punk was inspired by a review in the British music magazine Melody Maker, which dubbed their first collaboration, the Beach Boys-inspired guitar group Darlin', "a bunch of daft punk."

History
Their debut single was "The New Wave" a limited release on Soma Recordings in 1994. Their first commercially successful single "Da Funk" came the following year, and was later included on their 1997 debut album Homework. Homework was regarded as an innovative synthesis of techno, house, acid house and electro styles, and is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential dance music albums of the nineties. "Around the World" was the most successful single from Homework, known for its hypnotic chant of the song's title and distinctive music video directed by Michel Gondry.

2001's Discovery took on a slicker and distinctly synth-pop oriented style, initially stunning fans of their previous work. The album reached #2 in the UK, and its single "One More Time" was a major club hit, creating a new generation of fans mainly familiar with the sophomore Daft Punk release. The singles "Digital Love" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" were also very successful in the UK and on the US dance chart, and "Face to Face" hit #1 on the US club play charts despite a limited single release.

In an interview with Remix Magazine Online, the group said that the album was conceived as an attempt to re-connect with a playful, open minded attitude associated with the discovery phase of childhood. This accounts for the heavy use of themes and samples from the late '70s to early '80s era on the album. Interestingly enough, more than two tracks had unacknowledged samples. A live album containing a 45-minute set from the Daftendirekt tour recorded in Birmingham in 1997 was also released in 2001, entitled Alive 1997.

In 2005, Human After All was released, a 10-track album running 45 minutes and recorded in a mere 6 weeks. Reviews were mixed, mostly citing its short length, overly repetitive nature and seemingly rushed recording. They also noted the fact that it had only nine proper tracks and one interlude. The singles off this album were "Robot Rock", "Technologic", "Human After All" and "The Prime Time of Your Life". The earliest official statement from Daft Punk concerning the album was "we believe that Human After All speaks for itself."

A Daft Punk greatest hits CD/DVD collection entitled Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005 was released on April 4, 2006. It contains new videos for "The Prime Time of Your Life" and "Robot Rock (Maximum Overdrive)".

On April 29, 2006, they performed at the 2006 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where they received a jubilant reception for their first U.S. performance in eight years. They also will be performing at the 2006 Global Gathering in Stratford-upon-Avon (U.K.), Eurockéennes in Belfort (France), Summercase Festival in Barcelona and Madrid (Spain), Pukkelpop in Hasselt (Belgium), and SummerSonic Music Festival in Tokyo and Osaka. Daft Punk will finish this tour on August 25 with a gig at Marley Park in Dublin (Ireland).

On May 22, 2006, Daft Punk premiered their first directed film, Daft Punk's Electroma at the Cannes Film Festival sidebar Director's Fortnight. The film does not include their own music which is a first for the duo considering their previous DVD and film releases (D.A.F.T. for Homework and Interstella 5555 for Discovery). It is currently unknown whether the film will be released on DVD.

Use of visual components
Daft Punk are noted for their use of visual components associated with their musical productions. The music videos for their singles from Homework featured memorable characters and were directed by cult video producers, including Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry. The album Discovery subsequently became the soundtrack to the anime film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, which the group co-produced with Leiji Matsumoto. Many US fans were introduced to Daft Punk through a special presentation of their videos during Cartoon Network's Toonami block on August 31, 2001.

During their publicity shots, interviews, music videos, and live shows, both members wear elaborate robot costumes. Their outward personae have changed over the years. During their Homework years, the duo would usually wear masks to hide their appearance. In their more visible Discovery years, and ever since, they have appeared as futuristic robots, sporting remarkably complicated helmets capable of various LED effects and metallic finger gloves. "We did not choose to become robots," Bangalter once explained. "There was an accident in our studio. We were working on our sampler, and at exactly 9:09 a.m. on September 9, 1999, it exploded. When we regained consciousness, we discovered that we had become robots." With the release of Human After All, the musical duo's outfits became slightly less complicated, consisting of simplified versions of the Discovery helmets, and black, leather jumpsuits. Very few photos of the faces of the duo exist, although a blurry one can be found in Homework's liner notes. The mystery of their identity and the elaborate nature of their disguises has added to their international popularity.

Trivia

 * Thomas Bangalter had a major club hit with "Music Sounds Better With You" in 1998, collaborating with Alan Braxe and Benjamin Diamond under the name Stardust on his own Roulé-label. In 2002 he produced the motion picture soundtrack for Gaspar Noé's Irréversible. Bangalter teamed up to create Together with DJ Falcon, who subsequently released the club smash "So Much Love to Give". The song provided inspiration for the hit single "Call On Me" by Eric Prydz.

 * Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo operates his own music label, Crydamoure.

 * Thomas Bangalter played all keyboard parts on the fellow parisian band Phoenix's first album United.

 * "Technologic" was used by Apple Computer for its iPod commercial campaign.

 * Daft Punk appeared with Juliette Lewis in a commercial for the The Gap (video link), and were contractually obligated to appear only in Gap clothing.

 * Daft Punk's "Technologic" was sampled by Swizz Beatz for a Busta Rhymes song called "Touch It". The lines from the song were sung by R&B / rap artist Missy Elliott.  The song can be found on Busta Rhymes' latest album, The Big Bang.

 * In 2005, LCD Soundsystem recorded a song called "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House". It reached #29 in the UK and was nominated for Best Dance Recording in the 2006 Grammys.

 * In "Losing My Edge," a later track of the same album, LCD Soundsystem also (facetiously) bragged about being the first to "play Daft Punk to the rock kids."

 * Daft Punk made a song called "Musique" which can be found on the Wipeout XL video game soundtrack and on their greatest hits album. It was initially released as a double A-side with their hit single "Da Funk". A portion of "Musique" can be heard in the track "WDPK 83.7 FM" on the album Homework, though it is slowed and set to the sampled drum riff from "Da Funk".

 * Grammy Nominations
 * 2001 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording - "One More Time"
 * 2001 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance - "Short Circuit"
 * 2006 Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album - Human After All

Stutter (Elastica song)

"Stutter" is the debut single by the Britpop group Elastica and was written by lead singer Justine Frischmann. It was originally released as a single in the UK in November 1993 and in the US in September 1994. The song was later included on the band's 1995 self-titled debut album. The single, which received positive reviews from critics, charted in the US and Canada.

Background
"Stutter" was written by Elastica's lead singer, Justine Frischmann. The song is a little over two minutes long and contains just two verses and two choruses because Frischmann thought that any more would be unnecessary. The lyrics are about "the occasional problem of drunken male impotence."

Release
"Stutter" was first released in November 1993 for the independent Deceptive label. It was released initially as a 7" only and sold out within one day. Although it was a limited edition of only 1,500 pressings, the single generated enormous media exposure for the band: based solely on the strength of it, Elastica was voted Best New Band in the year's-end Readers Poll in Melody Maker. To avoid overexposure, the song was deliberately not worked into North American radio until later in 1995, after which it charted in both the US and Canada.

"Stutter" was included as the 14th track on Elastica's 1995 self-titled debut album, and it was also included on the 2002 20th Century Masters collection, Best of Brit Pop.

Critical reception
The song received positive reviews from music critics. Spin wrote that "[The single] Stutter delivers four brilliant pop songs". In a review of the band’s self-titled album, Douglas Wolk of CMJ New Music Monthly wrote: "Elastica's best moments are all on its own, especially the astonishing single 'Stutter.

Writing for Billboard, Larry Flick included "Stutter" in his Critic's Choice list, writing: "It may be a stretch, but this indie quartet is best described as a better-natured Hole. Both acts feature sassy fronting females, impatient melodies, and gritty guitar riffs. The energetic tone here, however, is uplifting-not brooding. Equally interesting is the flip side, 'Pussycat'." In 2012, NME ranked the song at number 53 in its list of the "100 Best Tracks of the Nineties".

Chart performance
The single peaked at No. 80 in the UK in November 1993. In the US, "Stutter" stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for nine weeks, peaking at No. 67 on August 26, 1995. It also went to No. 10 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart on August 12. In Canada, the song peaked at No. 4 on the Alternative chart on August 14.

Music video
The song's music video, which was directed by David Mould, was filmed in San Francisco, California and aired regularly on MTV in 1995. It features the band members playfully meandering from Grant Avenue in Chinatown to the Broadway stretch of strip clubs and other adult businesses.

Slánoll

Slánoll, son of Ollom Fotla, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He succeeded to throne on the death of his brother Fínnachta. It is said that there was no disease during his reign (his name is explained as Old Irish slán, "whole, healthy"; oll, "great, ample"). After a reign of fifteen, or seventeen, or thirty years, he was found dead of unknown causes in his bed in Tara, and was succeeded by his brother Géde Ollgothach. When his body was dug up forty years later by his son Ailill, it showed no sign of decomposition. The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 895–880 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1257–1241 BC.

Géde Ollgothach

Géde Ollgothach, son of Ollom Fotla, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He succeeded to the throne on the death of his brother Slánoll. His epithet means "possessing a great voice", and the Lebor Gabála Érenn says during his reign all his subjects had voices as sweet as the strings of a zither. He ruled for eight, or twelve, or seventeen years, before being killed by, according to the Lebor Gabála, the otherwise unknown Fíachu son of Fíadchú; according to Geoffrey Keating and the Annals of the Four Masters, by his nephew and successor Fíachu Findoilches, son of Fínnachta. The chronology of Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 880–863 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1241–1231 BC.

A medieval tract called Cóir Anmann ("The Fitness of Names") says that Géde Ollgothach was another name for Érimón.

According to some texts, he came from the Cruthin dynasty of the Dál nAraidi. He also appears in the Pictish Chronicle as a king of the Picts.

Brazilian Socialist Party

The Brazilian Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Brasileiro, PSB) is a political party in Brazil. It was founded in 1947, before being abolished by the military regime in 1965 and re-organised in 1989 after the re-democratisation of Brazil. It elected six Governors in 2010, becoming the second largest party in number of state governments, behind only PSDB. In addition to that, it won 34 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and three seats in the Senate, besides having been a member of the For Brazil to Keep on Changing coalition, which elected Dilma Rousseff as President of Brazil.

First PSB (1947–1965)
The name Brazilian Socialist Party or variants had been used by several small socialist parties of brief existence prior to the foundation of PSB on 1947.

PSB has its origins at the end of Getúlio Vargas' Estado Novo regime, when the Democratic Left (Esquerda Democrática – ED) emerged as a faction of the National Democratic Union (União Democrática Nacional – UDN) in 1945. Its goals were to combine the social changes of the period with broad civil and political liberties. ED's ideology was based on a broad left-wing concept: it advocated that socialism had to be built gradually and legally, through the defence of democracy and a national identity. In this sense, it differed greatly from other opposition parties, such as UDN, which advocated free market policies, and the Communist Party (PCB), which advocated the authoritarian socialism of the Soviet Union.

As UDN became increasingly a right-leaning party, binding itself with the Brazilian Army and the aspirations of urban middle classes, ED's Socialist proposals were extremely at odds with the party, which led to a split and the subsequent foundation of PSB. On 6 August 1947, the Brazilian Socialist Party was founded, maintaining the same program and proposals it had as a faction of the UDN. In its 1947 manifesto, the PSB sought to represent an alternative to the main left-wing parties of that period: Vargas' Brazilian Labour Party (PTB) and the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB). PSB opposed the centralism and authoritarianism of Vargas, as well as the rigid labour union structure supported by PTB. They opposed PCB's cult of personality and radical Marxism, which placed the PSB in the centre-left to left-wing spectrum, between radical Marxism and social democracy.

PSB proposed to be a party of "everyone who relies on their own work". It advocated immediate reforms, such as the nationalisation of economically strategic areas, the expansion of workers' rights, the ensuring of public health and education, and the development of democracy through means of popular participation. Its structure brought a new experience which characterised PSB's democratic profile: the Base Centres (núcleos de base). Through them, Socialist militants could get involved in the party project, discuss national issues and form the orientation and the target of partisan action.

In the 1950 election, PSB's candidate, João Mangabeira won only 0.12% of the vote and the PSB elected only one deputy from Sergipe. At the same time, the PSB approached the PCB, banned in 1947 and operating underground. A number of communists ran for office under the PSB's endorsement.

In the 1955 election, the PSB endorsed the UDN candidate, Juarez Távora. In São Paulo, the PSB supported the electoral endeavors of Jânio Quadros: first in the São Paulo mayoral election in 1953 and Quadros' successful bid for Governor in 1954. However, the PSB's support for Quadros, a rather middle-class reformer, split the party, a split which ended with the expulsion of Quadros supporters from the party. In the 1960 election, won by Quadros, the PSB supported the candidacy of Henrique Teixeira Lott.

The PSB had limited legislative representation between 1947 and 1964, but in 1962 it elected one Senator, Aurélio Viana defeated the UDN's candidate, Juracy Magalhães in Guanabara State.

The party supported left-wing President João Goulart, who was overthrown by the military in 1964, which later abolished all parties, including the PSB, in 1965. Most Socialists joined the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB), the only opposition party recognised by the military regime. Following the fall of the military in 1985, a number of former PSB members joined the Democratic Labour Party or the Workers' Party (PT).

Second PSB (1989–present)
Following the return to a democracy in the country, a Brazilian Socialist Party was re-organised on the 1947 manifesto. At first, it achieved limited electoral success, though it elected some legislators and mayors. In the 1989 presidential election, it supported the PT candidate, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

In 1990, Pernambuco Governor Miguel Arraes joined the party, giving the PSB a certain electoral boost in subsequent elections. In the 1994 election, the party again endorsed Lula. In the same election, Arraes was re-elected Governor with 54% by the first round, and the PSB elected another governor, João Capiberibe, in Amapá, as well as a Senator in Pará. The party continued to grow with the adhesion of several officeholders in 1995 and 1996, but it did not endorse the left-wing candidacy of Ciro Gomes in the 1998 election, preferring to endorse Lula. The same year, Arraes was defeated in Pernambuco but the party gained the governorship of Alagoas.

In 2000, the Governor of Rio de Janeiro, Anthony Garotinho joined the PSB following a feud with Leonel Brizola, the leader of the Democratic Labour Party. The adhesion of Garotinho caused several members of the PSB to leave the party to join Lula's PT. The PSB supported Garotinho's candidacy in the 2002 election, winning 17.9% in the first round.

However, Garotinho's membership proved a source of controversy and division, notably with President Lula's government. The split was resolved when Garotinho left the party in 2003. The party unofficially supported Lula's re-election in 2006 and won 27 deputies in the 2006 election. After that election, the PSB had three Governors: Cid Gomes (Ceará), Eduardo Campos (Pernambuco) and Wilma de Faria (Rio Grande do Norte).

Ciro Gomes joined the PSB in 2003, and was expected to be the PSB's candidate in the 2010 election; however, the PSB decided not to run a presidential candidate.

The PSB did well overall in the 2010 elections; it picked up 7 seats in the Chamber of Deputies for a total of 34 seats, and regained representation in the Senate, winning 3 Senate seats. While it lost the governorship of Rio Grande do Norte, it easily retained the governorships of Ceará and Pernambuco and also overwhelmingly won the governorship of Espírito Santo. Following runoffs, it also won the governorships of Amapá, Paraíba, and Piauí, for a total of six state governorships.

Despite its socialist name and identity, the PSB was criticised by many on the Brazilian political scene, especially on the left, for its efforts to attract right-wing Brazilian politicians like senator Heraclito Fortes, and to support the candidacy of Eduardo Campos and, later, Marina Silva. These positions led many traditional socialists and social-democrats in Brazil to leave the party for more left-wing outfits such as the PSOL and PDT.

In 2014 general elections, the PSB did not support Rousseff and was part of the United for Brazil coalition, which supported Marina Silva as its presidential candidate. It advocated greater economic stability, low inflation, high economic growth, sustainable development, and social welfare programs. The party did well in the legislative elections, electing 34 deputies and seven senators.

The party later voted in favour of the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and formed a coalition government with Brazil's new president, Michel Temer.

In May 2017, the PSB withdrew its support from Temer and went into opposition.

In the 2018 general election, PSB did not support any candidate (although some members of the party supported Ciro Gomes of the Democratic Labour Party) in the first round; it later endorsed Fernando Haddad of the Workers' Party in the second round. The party saw a decrease in support in the parliamentary election, winning 32 deputies and two senators. PSB later joined the opposition to Jair Bolsonaro.

On 30 August 2019, the Brazilian Socialist Party withdrew from the Foro de Sao Paulo, denouncing its support of Nicolas Maduro's presidency.

In 2022, Geraldo Alckmin joined the Brazilian Socialist Party and ran as Lula's running mate in the 2022 general election, winning the run-off.

International relations
Despite being a socialist party, the PSB has never been a member of the Socialist International (position held by the Democratic Labour Party). However, in 2013, it joined the newly formed Progressive Alliance.

In 1991, the party joined the Foro de Sao Paulo, an association of South American leftist parties which also included the majority of Brazilian left-wing formations (PCB, PCdoB, PT, PDT and, until 2004, PPS). However, in 2019 PSB withdrew from the Foro, denouncing its support for the regime of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.

Touring info not appropriate
Firstly, since User:Poccil never really said what they saw as the POV problem, and I cleaned it up a bit and the tag's been on there forever, I decided to be WP:BOLD and remove the POVcheck template.

Secondly, the various anonymous editors who have been making a lot of edits to this page seem to have been doing a good job. I'm impressed, guys! Now why not sign up for an account? Serious! :)

The only thing is, keep an eye on the Wikipedia principle of Neutral point of view. Obvious fan-gushing WILL be removed. Also keen an eye on No original research and Verifiability. Have sources, use them!

In line with NPOV, I have removed the tour dates. If you strongly feel they need to be in the article, you can put a comment on this page. (Please sign any comments on this page by typing four tildes after your comment like this: ~ ) But be sure to tell me if you've ever seen tour dates on any other WP page, because I sure haven't. pfctdayelise 10:10, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

I had seen touring info on the The Mars Volta page at some stage, so i thought it appropriate. The page when i originally added info a year or two ago had a fair POV problem, i believe that has since been resolved. I havn't cited my sources, though I probably should have, a lot of the information simply has been picked up from the many articles seen around the place. Mwhale 11:56, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal. As I said, I was pretty impressed with the anon editing that had been done. Good to see you've got an account now though!

Fíachu Findoilches

Fíachu Findoilches, son of Fínnachta, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He succeeded to the throne on the death of his uncle Géde Ollgothach, whom, according to some versions, he had killed. His epithet findoilches means "white or fair hidden one", although some sources call him Fíachu Cendfinnán ("little white/fair head"), perhaps confusing him with the much earlier Fir Bolg king of that name. It is said that all the cattle, or flowers, of Ireland had white heads in his reign, and that he exacted a tax on white-headed cattle. He founded Kells, County Meath. He is said to have been the first king in Ireland to dig wells, but grain did not stay on the stalk in his reign. He ruled for either twenty or thirty years, and was killed by Géde Ollgothach's son Berngal in revenge for his father. The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 863–833 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1231–1209 BC.

font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'
Hi, I think there is a problem with this (appears in one of the <span>s in the template). On Windows XP, the whole of Wikipedia is in Arial, except that span! (appears in italic Times) The real name of the font is Arial, not Arial Unicode MS. Anyway I don't think this is ever useful, as the OS (or the browser) should find an appropriate font automatically for any given Unicode character that is not in the current font. I suggest removing the "font-family". laug 02:51, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I've removed it. The main reason I did so is that the "/**/: inherit" hack doesn't work. MediaWiki ends up producing bad CSS like this:

 * The result of this is that on any machine without "Arial Unicode MS", the font falls back to the browser default, which is often a variant of "Times". This happens because " " is bad CSS and makes the whole inherit rule get skipped. Mike Dillon 19:03, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Just to be clear, I ended up leaving the span with class=Unicode, but I removed the font-family stuff since it is handled in MediaWiki:Common.css. Please see Template talk:Unicode for a relevant discussion. Mike Dillon 19:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

John Arbuthnott, 8th Viscount of Arbuthnott

John Arbuthnott, 8th Viscount of Arbuthnott DL FRSE (16 January 1778 – 10 January 1860) was a Scottish peer and soldier. Known as "the rich Lord" he built the bridge in front of Arbuthnott House, Kincardineshire. He was the first member of the family who consistently spelled his name "Arbuthnott" rather than "Arbuthnot".

Life
He was the son of the 7th Viscount Arbuthnott and Isabella Graham.

He served in the 7th Dragoon Guards (Princess Royal's) and the 52nd Regiment of Foot, reaching the rank of Captain. On 27 February 1800, he succeeded to his father's titles. Arbuthnot was Lord Lieutenant of Kincardineshire from 1805 to 1847, and Lord Rector of King's College, Aberdeen from 1827 to 1837.

He had long service in the House of Lords as a Scottish representative peer between 1818 and 1820, and between 1821 and 1847. He fell from a horse in 1829 and suffered a severe head injury. As a consequence in 1848 he was prosecuted for fraud, forgery and uttering and, although the family paid his debts, the Viscount left Scotland, never to return; his heir ran the estate from 1850. He is thought to have died in Bruges.

Positions held

 * Lord Lieutenant of Kincardineshire (1805–1847)
 * Rector of King's College, Aberdeen (1827–1835)

Publications

 * On The Potato Disease, Crop 1845 (an account of the beginnings of the Highland Potato Famine)

Family
On 25 June 1805, he married Margaret Ogilvy, daughter of Walter Ogilvy, 8th Earl of Airlie. They had six sons, and seven daughters:

 * John Arbuthnott, 9th Viscount of Arbuthnott (4 Jun 1806 – 26 May 1891)
 * Hon. Jane Ogilvy (9 Aug 1807 - 22 Oct 1900 ) married Capt. James Cheape. They had no known issue.
 * Hon. Walter (21 Nov 1808 – 5 Jan 1891) married Anna Maria Ottley. They had a son, the future Walter Charles Warner Arbuthnott, 13th Viscount of Arbuthnott, and Kathleen Georgina.

 * Hon. Anne Charlotte (17 Nov 1813 - 14 May 1914 )
 * Hon. Helen (10 Apr 1815 – 23 Apr 1840). She married Frederick Lewis Scrymgeour-Wedderburn, grandson of Captain Hon. Frederick Lewis Maitland. They had one son.
 * Hon. Louisa Charlotte (19 Apr 1817 - 21 Sep 1831 )
 * Hon. Clementina Maria (17 Aug 1818 - 23 Oct 1857 ). She married William Rose Campbell. They had no known issue.
 * Hon. David CSI (13 Apr 1820 – 27 Jul 1901) married Elizabeth Reynolds, daughter of Dr. Thomas Forbes Reynolds. They had four sons and three daughters together. He also had three other sons before their marriage.
 * Lt-Col. Hon. William Arbuthnott (18 Oct 1821 - 13 Dec 1902) married Barbara Elrington (1822-1904).
 * Major Hon. Charles James Donald Arbuthnott (21 Mar 1823 - 26 Jan 1903) married 1st 1852 Carter Caroline (1814-1890), and 2nd in 1891 Annie Maria Wild (1861-1937).

Berngal

Berngal, son of Géde Ollgothach, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He took power after killing his predecessor and cousin and his father's killer, Fíachu Findoilches. He made so much war that there was a shortage of milk and corn - according to one version, only a sack and a half. He ruled for either twenty-one or twelve years, until he was killed by his cousin Ailill, son of Slánoll. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Deioces of the Medes (694–665 BC). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 833–831 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1209–1197 BC.

John Arbuthnott, 9th Viscount of Arbuthnott

John Arbuthnott, 9th Viscount of Arbuthnott, DL, JP (4 June 1806 – 26 May 1891) was a Scottish peer and soldier.

Born at Arbuthnott House, he was the oldest son of John Arbuthnott, 8th Viscount of Arbuthnott and his wife Margaret, daughter of Walter Ogilvy, de jure 8th Earl of Airlie. In 1860, he succeeded his father as viscount. Arbuthnott was educated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford and matriculated on 28 June 1824.

He was commissioned Cornet in the 6th Dragoons in 1825 and purchased the ranks of Lieutenant in 1826 and Captain in 1830. He retired as Major on half-pay in 1850. He served as deputy lieutenant for Kincardineshire.

On 5 June 1837, he married his cousin Lady Jean (or Jane) Graham Drummond Ogilvy (born Midlothian 27 February 1818; died 4 March 1902), eldest daughter of David Ogilvy, 9th Earl of Airlie at Cortachy Castle, Angus. Arbuthnott died at his residence and was succeeded in his titles by his son John. Lady Arbuthnott died at her residence, Arbuthnott house, Fordoun, Kincardineshire, on 4 March 1902.

Ailill mac Slánuill

Ailill (or Oilioll), son of Slánoll, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland; scholars now believe these kings to be a pseudohistorical construct of the eighth century AD, a projection into the distant past of a political entity which did not become a reality until Maelseachlainn I. He took power after killing his cousin Berngal. He ruled for twelve, fifteen or sixteen years, according to various versions of the Lebor Gabála Érenn (Geoffrey Keating and the Four Masters agree on sixteen) before he was killed by Sírna Sáeglach, a great grandson of Rothechtaid mac Main. The Lebor Gabála synchronises his reign with that of Deioces of the Medes (694-665 BC). The chronology of Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 831–815 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1197–1181 BC.

Sírna Sáeglach

Sírna Sáeglach ("the long-lived"), son of Dian mac Demal, son of Demal mac Rothechtaid, son of Rothechtaid mac Main, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He separated the province of Ulster from the authority of the High King, and is said to have made war against the Ulaid, who had killed his great grandfather, for a hundred years according to the Lebor Gabála Érenn, 150 years according to the Annals of the Four Masters, but Geoffrey Keating, citing an ancient poem, gives him only twenty-one years. According to one version of the Lebor Gabála, the Ulaid united with the Fomorians and gave him battle at Móin Trógaide in County Meath, but a plague fell on them and the leaders of both sides died. According to another version, agreed by Keating and the Four Masters, Sírna was killed by Rothechtaid Rotha at Alind. The Lebor Gabála synchronises the start of his reign with the reign of Deioces of the Medes (694–665 BC), and his death with his successor Phraortes (665–633 BC). The chronology of Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 814–794 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1181–1031 BC.

Noonday Gun

The Noonday Gun is a former naval artillery piece mounted on a small enclosed site near the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. Owned and operated by Jardine Matheson, the gun is fired every day at noon and has become a tourist attraction.

Origin
The Noonday Gun is located on the waterfront of the area formerly known as East Point, present-day Causeway Bay. East Point was the first plot of land in Hong Kong to be sold by the colonial government by public auction in 1841, and was purchased by Jardine Matheson. Over the years, land reclamation has shifted the coastline northward, and the siting of the gun has changed accordingly. The name East Point is now disused.

The tradition originated over an incident in the 1860s. Jardines' main godowns and offices were located at East Point, and its private militia would fire a gun salute to welcome a Jardine tai-pan's arrival by sea. On one occasion, a senior British naval officer became annoyed by this practice because he was new to Hong Kong and did not know of such a tradition. This was because such a salute was normally reserved for government officials and senior officers of the armed services. As a result, Jardines was ordered, as a penalty, to fire a gun every day at noon, in perpetuity.

In 1941, during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the Japanese Imperial Army dismantled the gun and it was lost. After British forces regained Hong Kong in 1945, the Royal Navy provided Jardines with a new six-pound gun with which to continue the tradition of the noonday gun. On 1 July 1947, the Noonday gun was back in operation. Following complaints that the gun was too loud, in 1961 the marine police replaced the six-pound gun with a Hotchkiss three-pounder that saw action in the Battle of Jutland during the First World War.

Tourist attraction
Although British rule ended in Hong Kong in 1997, the tradition of the noonday gun is continued by Jardine Matheson. A small crowd will gather for this daily event. Other than noon, the gun is also fired by a Jardines official at midnight every New Year's Day to celebrate the new year. At the daily firing event, a Jardines' guard marches up to the site in uniform. The guard rings a bell to signal the end of the fore-noon watch, a practice which dates from the time when Jardines' main offices and warehouses were located at East Point. Then, the guard marches up to the Noonday Gun and fires it, after which he rings the bell again, locks the chain blocking access to the gun and goes off. It is accessed by a tunnel passing under Gloucester Road from the basement car park in The Excelsior hotel, which is operated by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, a Jardines subsidiary. In March 2019, the Excelsior hotel is definitely closed, its building to be destroyed, and then replaced by an office building.

For a donation of HK$33,000 to the Community Chest charity, anyone can arrange to pull the lanyard that fires the gun.

In popular culture
The firing of the gun was famously mentioned in Noël Coward's humorous song "Mad Dogs and Englishmen".
 * In Hong Kong, they strike a gong, and fire off a noonday gun
 * To reprimand each inmate who's in late

Talk:Archtop guitar

Deleted bias tag, this article needs cleanup/expansion more than being labeled as biased. Hopefully I'll get around to it soon. . . . . Soundguy99 21:37, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

This article needs a picture; I'll add one later.--Elysianfields 03:26, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Removed text
Moveable bridges (aka. "rollerbridge") and tailpieces are found on almost all archtops.

This is AFAIK just plain false. It may be true that in some areas of the world, all the guitars in the local music shops have roller bridges, but both of the archtops currently pictured in the article have fixed tailpieces and conventional bridges. Dave Unger's home page doesn't currently have a rollerbridge in sight, nor do the top three models listed at the Epiphone archtop index.

Many commercial archtops have Bigsby units either as standard or option. I'm skeptical it's even most. It's certainly not all, and of those that don't have Bigsbys, the vast majority have fixed tailpieces (either trapeze or stop). There are also a few with Gibson Vibrola units rather than the Bigsby (which has been available both as a licensed Vibrola and as a third-party add-on).

Some, not all, of these tremolo arm equipped archtops have rollerbridges in addition. Few if any fixed tailpiece guitars have roller bridges, and many archtops do have trems but lack roller bridges. Movable bridges other than the roller bridge do exist, notably the Fender floating bridge, but again are only on trem-equipped guitars (and I've never heard of one on an archtop).

Sorry to carry on, but the removed text has too many confused or wrong ideas to list. Andrewa 14:07, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Cello Guitar???

 * Yes, I think we should. Now that you come to mention is, that's what several of my musical associates call my trusty Maton Freshman archtop. Andrewa 15:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Ibanez
The article mentions Yamaha and Epiphone as a ffordable, quality Archtop makers, but leaves out Ibanez. Are they not as well known? Another article mentions Ibanez as a "famous maker" of Hollowbodies and Semi-Hollowbodies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.239.177.198 (talk • contribs)

 * Has Ibanez produced true archtops, or only thin-bodied semi-acoustic guitars? There is some variation in terminology here, but I think the majority view (and that taken by Wikipedia so far) is that archtop and semi-acoustic are overlapping but neither is a subset of the other. The Gibson ES-335 (and many similar which have followed) and Magnetone TB36 are both semi-acoustic, but neither is an archtop. On the other hand, the Gibson L-7C has no pickups, so although it's an archtop it's not semi-acoustic, and none of the earliest archtops had pickups... partly because pickups hadn't yet been invented back in the 1890s! And the legendary Gibson L5 was introduced in 1922, but wasn't available with pickups until 1951. Andrewa 16:08, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I've done some looking around, and all the current Ibanez semi-acoustics seem to be thinlines. Several of them are described by the makers as arch-top, but then so are the carved-top Gibson Les Paul solid body guitars. This isn't the normal or primary meaning of archtop IMO. Andrewa 16:34, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Refactor
I've performed a fairly complete but gentle refactor of the article. When I say gentle, I haven't changed the text much at all, just reorganised it, and expanded a little. So any errors of fact that were there before probably still are.

One thing I haven't incorporated yet is the fact that there were semi-acoustic guitars before 1951... Notably the Gibson ES-175, since 1949. This probably isn't clear from the current article. 1951 was when Gibson's first semi-acoustic archtop was introduced. Andrewa 16:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Jazz box
Removed text:

Some rock players refer disparagingly to an archtop guitar as a "jazz box", reflecting this.

This had been tagged fact|date=August 2007 template, but in view of this, I think the article is better off without the claim, so I've removed it (again). It was added (several times) by someone who appeared to dislike both the style of guitar, and the sort of music it's good for. (Without wanting to enter into WP:ATTACK, I think we need to note that there are a few such people around. One described my 1969 Maton Freshman as a skiffle reject on another talk page a while back. And anyone who has battled acoustic feedback trying to use one of these in a high-gain high-distortion live situation is likely to be turned of all semi-acoustic guitars for life...! Been there, done that...)

On the other hand, Google does provide some evidence for the currency of the term. I especially liked this article, titled Fat Jazz Box On The Cheap: Washburn’s J3 Hollowbody. Andrewa 21:21, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I have seen the term "jazz box" or simply "box" used on one jazz guitar forum. I think that while it indeed may be a colloquial term that it is not necessarily disparaging one. Wschart (talk) 14:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Jazz box is a common expression used by American musicians and fans at least since the 1950's and documentation will take the term box applied to acoustic guitars even further back. It is in fairly common usage today: 1 2 3. There is nothing disrespectful in the term. It simply reflects, as does most colloquial American language, a vigorously casual directness, for instance, referring to a guitar as an axe. As for "some rock players," it is possible for an individual to make almost anything seem disrespectful. I rather thought that has been a major prop of the Rock industry. BellwetherToday (talk) 07:18, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Archtops and Carvedtops
While the article sports several fine photos of archtop and semi-hollowbody guitars there is not a single one of the classic jazzbox style with or without the floating neck pickup normally attached to the pickguard. The focus here seems quite heavily tilted to the electric models with big holes dug into the "resonating" soundboard top which is then burdened with massively heavy hardware. There are many purely acoustic models. While generally speaking a distinction is usually made between semi-hollowbody guitars and true archtop guitars, this may not be necessary to address at this time. Wouldn't the archtop subgenre: carvedtop guitar deserve a unique subsection? It is after all the standard term used to distinguish these instruments within the archtop family. BellwetherToday (talk) 08:15, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

I think that everyone realizes that the thickness of the top plate on a carvedtop guitar is graduated in a bell-like manner, thickest beneath the bridge on the order of 6mm, thinning as the face slopes away and thickening somewhat at the outer edges. There is also great variation in the overall thickness and carved interior shape of these tops from one luthier to another. D'Angelico is particularly famous for his very heavy maple tops which yield a very loud, dark sound. This construction detail and sonic quality is mentioned a few times by D'Aquisto and anecdotally by owners of these instruments. BellwetherToday (talk) 07:30, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Is this edit based on WP:MOS somewhere I've missed? The reason for the bold was that it's the target of a redirect. Andrewa 06:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Inventor
This article states that Gibson himself invented archtop guitars, and that Gibson had been making archtop mandolins for a while, whereas the article on Lloyd Loar states that Loar invented at least the archtop mandolin, and possibly the archtop guitar: "Loar worked for Gibson from 1919 to 1924. His contributions include building the instrument top with F-shaped holes, like a violin." 69.129.39.230 (talk) 21:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The f-holes aren't what make an archtop and archtop, it's really the construction of the top. 1Z (talk) 10:23, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Peterdjones is of course absolutely correct about f-holes being ephemeral. Aside from the lower bout f-holes and the waist centered round and triangular holes, luthiers have put holes of various shapes and sizes all over guitars including archtops. In fact, some hollow body guitars have no face located holes whatever. BellwetherToday (talk) 06:02, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Rickenbacker 330 photo?
A Rick 330 maybe a hollowbody but it's not an archtop. its top is completely flat. There's a lot of confusion in this article between archtops, hollowbodies and semi-hollowbodies. A hollowbody or a semi-hollowbody describes the internal make-up of the body, archtop describes whether the top is arched or not. Simple, surely? There shouldn't be a picture of a Rick 330 here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abdul tom (talk • contribs) 03:20, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

huge lack of references
For instance, ..."whose sound is particularly popular with jazz, Rockabilly, psychobilly, and blues guitarists." No attempt to support this assertion. Better still might be an authoritatve source to suggest a WHY behind this. Weeb Dingle (talk) 17:38, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Elim Olfínechta

Elim Olfínechta, son of Rothechtaid Rotha, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He succeeded to the throne after his father was struck by lightning. Snow that tasted of wine (Old Irish oll, "great, ample", fín, "wine", snechta, "snow") is said to have fallen in his reign. He ruled for only one year, before he was killed by Gíallchad, grandson of Sírna Sáeglach, the High King who had been overthrown by Elim's father. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Phraortes of the Medes (665-633 BCE). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 787–786 BCE, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1024–1023 BCE.

Sam Longoria

Sam Longoria (born March 12, 1956, in Seattle, Washington, United States) is a Hollywood producer-director and visual effects engineer. He produces independent feature movies, (digital and 35mm and 65mm film), and serves as writer, director, actor, editor and cinematographer.

Longoria began making movies in 1970 at the age of 14. He made a feature-length 35 mm film in Enumclaw, Washington, moved to Hollywood in 1978, with occasional film and theatre work in Portland, Oregon, New York, and Chicago.

Longoria's Hollywood work (frequently uncredited) begins in the 1980s, as a member of the technical crew on films such as Ghostbusters, 2010, Return to Oz, and Captain EO.

In 1985, he photographed President Ronald Reagan in the White House for a large-format film documentary. In 1992, he created 35 mm projected backgrounds from small-format film and video elements, for Peter Sellars's production of Paul Hindemith's Opera Mathis der Maler, at London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. In the 1990s, Longoria built camera electronics for the 1994 film Terminal Velocity, optically enlarged Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen's Super 8 mm home movies for the 1999 film Five Aces, and performed hydraulic special effects on the 1997 film Dante's Peak, which had the largest water dump (650,000 gallons, weighing 5.4 million pounds) in cinema history.

From 1985 to 1994, Longoria Produced six live stage comedy shows a week, a Russian Drama, and two successful comedy radio shows, in Hollywood at The WILD SIDE Theatre. He loves Improv, and uses it in his shows and films.

In 1998–2001, he helped out in the studio with his friends' "The Firesign Theatre" comedy recordings, and attended the Grammy Awards in 1998 and 2002 to root for their nominated discs. He is credited as "Mascot," and "Nuts and Berries."

Since 2001, he splits his year, working both in Hollywood and Seattle. Longoria is a member of the Visual Effects Society and the Masquers Club in Hollywood, and focuses now on making his own films.

Talk:Tush kyiz

this is a very biased article
I presently live in Kyrgyzstan and work with Kyrgyz people. Frankly, it is not the business of any wikipedia article writer to voice such opinions of the lifestyle of the Kyrgyz. Also, the article is innacurate. I work with a handi-crafts NGO, tush kyiz are still being made. The art is not lost. The writer of this article did not do proper research.
