Helena Christensen

Helena Christensen (born 25 December 1968) is a Danish fashion model. She is a former Victoria's Secret Angel, co-founder and original creative director for Nylon magazine, and she is a supporter of funding for breast cancer organizations and other philanthropic charities.

Early life
Christensen was born on 25 December 1968 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her father, Fleming, is Danish and her mother, Elsa, is Peruvian. She is the elder of two daughters. Christensen is fluent in Danish, English, French and German. Winning the Miss Universe Denmark crown in 1986, she subsequently represented Denmark in the Miss Universe 1986 pageant held in Panama. The following year, Christensen participated in the Look of the Year 1987 competition, where she was a finalist. She left home soon after to pursue modelling in Paris.

Modeling
Christensen rose to prominence in the 1990s, becoming one of the most popular models of her time. In 1990, she starred in the music video for Chris Isaak's song "Wicked Game". The video was later featured on MTV's "Sexiest Video of All-Time", voted #4 on VH1's "50 Sexiest Video Moments", and voted #13 on VH1's "100 Greatest Videos". She became a spokesmodel for Revlon cosmetics in 1992. She appeared on magazine covers including Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and W, and in fashion campaigns including Revlon, Chanel, Versace, Lanvin, Prada, Sonia Rykiel, Hermès, Valentino and Karl Lagerfeld. One noted campaign featured her in a 20 by billboard in Times Square, naked, "except for a strategically placed banana leaf." She was in the Victoria's Secret catalog and in their television commercials as one of the original "Angels", along with Tyra Banks, Karen Mulder, Daniela Peštová, and Stephanie Seymour.

In 1996, Frank DeCaro of the New York Times cited Christensen, along with Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer, as "The Magnificent Seven". DeCaro reflected, "Known by their first names to legions of fans, they are the supermodel legends of the modern catwalk, the girl next door pretty underneath all the paint".

Christensen has continued to model. She graced the covers of Vogue Italia (2016), Portuguese Vogue (2016), British Tatler (2018), French Elle (2018). In September 2017, Christensen, along with Schiffer, Campbell, Crawford, and Carla Bruni, closed the Versace spring/summer 2018 fashion show, which was an homage to the late Gianni Versace and supermodel history. She walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana and appeared in their spring/summer 2019 advertisement campaign with Carla Bruni, Eva Herzigová and Marpessa Hennink. Christensen is signed to ZZO Management in Paris, D Management in Milan, Unsigned Group in London and 1/One Management in New York City.

Business and photography
Christensen was co-founder and creative director of Nylon magazine in 1999 with Ray Gun magazine publisher Marvin Scott Jarrett, and Kung Faux creator Mic Neumann. She launched her own clothing line, Christensen & Sigersen, with lifelong friend Leif Sigersen. The pair previously ran Butik, a shop in New York's West Village. Christensen created a vintage clothing line, sold in her mother's store, the Yo-Yo Second Hand Shop, in Christianshavn, Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2012, she created a lingerie collection, Helena Christensen for Triumph, for the UK-based lingerie brand. Christensen's collaboration with Triumph started in 2008 as the face of the Triumph brand.

Aside from her modeling work, Christensen is an accomplished photographer herself, whose work has appeared in Nylon, Marie Claire, and ELLE. Her exhibition "A Quiet Story," curated by Jim Cook, premiered at the Locus Gallery in Rotterdam, 2006, and HotelArena in Amsterdam, 2007. Her exhibition "Far From, Close" appeared at Dactyl Foundation in 2008–09, to benefit International Center of Photography educational programs and Chernobyl Children's Project International.

In 2014, Christensen worked on a photography series: Liberty Ross, Liv Tyler, and The Pursuit of Grace. "I like doing personal, very intimate projects that don't require a lot of pre-meetings".

Christensen has traveled extensively and often finds herself on both sides of the camera. In 2016, she was announced as the "Global Explorer" for the Luxury Collection Hotels and Resorts. Her major project for the company was documenting a trip from the seaside town of Paracas to the colonial city of Cusco and the nearby Urubamba Valley.

Climate change awareness
Christensen partnered with Oxfam in 2009 to document the impact of climate change in Peru, where her mother was born. "Climate change in Peru is already devastating and we welcome Helena's commitment to show this to the rest of the world," said Frank Boeren, Oxfam's coordinator in Peru. "Peru is on the frontline of climate change, along with other developing countries, which have played little part in causing the problem".

Breast cancer fundraising
Christensen launched the second Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign, which involves the sale of designer t-shirts to raise money for Ireland's Action Breast Cancer (Irish Cancer Society) and Europa Donna Ireland to help younger women with breast cancer.

Personal life
Christensen dated and lived with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence on and off in France and Denmark for five years in the early 1990s. She was in a relationship with actor Norman Reedus for five years; together they have a son born October 1999. Reedus and Christensen separated in 2003. Later, she dated Interpol singer Paul Banks from 2011 to 2015.

Christensen has an apartment in Copenhagen, a house in Catskill, NY, and lives in Manhattan, where she drives "the only type of car I've ever had", a Morris Minor. She reported in 2007 that she had been residing in Monaco.

Aziz Ibrahim

Aziz Ibrahim (born 19 March 1964)  is a British guitarist. He was born in Longsight, Manchester to Pakistani parents on 19 March 1964. He is best known for his work as guitarist with Simply Red, The Stone Roses (post-John Squire) and their former vocalist Ian Brown in whose band he regularly performs – both in the studio and live. He is also a member of the H Band with Marillion's lead singer Steve Hogarth and is involved in the writing of the second H Band album. He has also worked with Paul Weller, Steven Wilson, Asia and contributed to The Players' debut album Clear the Decks.

Ibrahim's first release was the CD EP Middle Road featuring guest vocals and guitar from Paul Weller. Ibrahim also provided the vocals for Weller's spoken word song entitled "God", on his 2008 album, 22 Dreams along with guitars for previous Paul Weller releases, e.g. Illumination. He followed that with his début album entitled Lahore to Longsight, which he describes as being 'Asian Blues', the album title describes his family journey from Lahore to Longsight, Lahore being the second city of Pakistan and Longsight Aziz's birthplace in inner city Manchester, where he still lives. He performed on the Simply Red 1987/88 world tour but did not feature on the following album. He was called in to replace original guitarist Sylvan Richardson who had left after recording the second album. At this point, apart from Sylvan the line-up featured all original members.

Most notably, Ibrahim was the guitarist for the last Stone Roses performance before they split, at the 1996 Reading Festival. After their split Ibrahim continued to tour and write with former Stone Roses front man Ian Brown, co-writing songs such as "My Star", "Corpses in Their Mouths", "Longsight M13", "One Way Ticket to Paradise" and numerous other songs from Unfinished Monkey Business, Golden Greats, Solarized and The Greatest.

Ibrahim also scored the music for the Psygnosis PlayStation game Eliminator. The music in the game features samples, electric guitars with effects, electronic drum kits, percussion, and techno sounds.

Ibrahim co-founded "No Label" – the name initially came from Ibrahim in a rant about major record labels, how he didn't need them and would start his own label and call it 'No Label Records'. The label was initially formed with co-directors John Sherrington, Nova Rehman and employing Ahsan Naeem as A&R scout. After No Label was established in Bolton, Ibrahim later took a back seat to the set up concentrating on his music. The labels' first release was the début single 'Middle Road" from Aziz Ibrahim followed by the signing of Mark Coyle's group 'Tailgunner'. No Label was liquidated in 2000. After the demise of No Label, Ibrahim founded the Longsight Manchester based label Indus Records Ltd.

In 2019 Aziz became patron of All Fm 96.9 community radio station in Manchester www.allfm.org

Ibrahim has also been involved in the British Guitar Academy, founded by Steve Rothery of Marillion.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flavia Colgan

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP. —Korath (Talk) 04:39, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

Flavia Colgan
Article fails to sufficient notability. Possible vanity. Radiant! 10:37, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I'd say she's right on the line. She's a political commentator who appears on national TV a lot, which would be a good argument for keeping, but her Google rank (679 web hits, only 5 groups hits) is lower than mine, and this article is just a substub, so deleting wouldn't be out of the question either.  Overall I'd prefer to err on the side of caution and keep those who tread the borderline. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  14:13, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. "Vanity" means she or an associate wrote it - from Fox News? I don't think so - David Gerard 14:42, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point, keep then. Radiant! 09:06, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. She's a political commentator who appears on national TV. Zzyzx11 22:28, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, and expand. Megan1967 00:43, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability established. How about giving the benefit of the doubt more often to give Wikipedia a chance to grow? it seems that most people are more likely to add to an existing article than to start a new one, so it is counterproductive to delete stubs or otherwise unfinished articles. Wincoote 23:46, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * That's not necessarily true. The category 'substub' was added because the category 'stub' was overcrowded, and now 'substub' is also getting far too long. People are likely to add to articles they find (e.g. a Spaniard checking spain-stub) but stubs about things or people nobody much knows about tend to stay stubby forever. That said, this article should be kept now that it's established as a media presence. Radiant! 09:06, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/South Africa/archive1

South Africa
Self-nomination. This article was recently up for Featured Article (old discussion here) status, but it failed. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to respond to all the comments made before it failed. There was significant discussion over the fact that the infobox is near the bottom of the lead section, and not the top. However, WikiProject Countries has their template of style with the infobox at the bottom, but User:Ta bu shi da yu and I attempted to move the infobox as far forward as possible, with one edit placing the infobox at the top, but this was decided by both of us to look terrible so we attempted to move it down while including the image. Other things were changed, such as more links and more categories, as well as edits to the history and culture section. Thanks! Páll 00:05, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Usually I'd be against a new nomination so soon after it ended, but I felt Paul did not have adequate time to answer concerns. Support just as before. Mike H 01:34, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - This time I support since the issues that I pointed out (in the last FAC) have been addressed. Squash 06:26, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)'

 * Support — all issues that I pointed out in the last FAC have been adressed. but I've changed my vote to object until the serious copyright issues pointed out by Henrygb are adressed.  — mark ✎ 10:02, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, again. Dewet 11:11, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, Alot of work has been put into this article. A great improvement --Jcw69 13:41, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Object. See my embedded HTML comments in the article. Neutralitytalk 14:44, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * I think I've responded to your comments sufficiently. Páll 15:11, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Say, could you add a bit about the minimum voting age in the "government" section? Also, a military section and a few sentences about cusine/art/cinema in the "Culture" section would be nice. Neutralitytalk 04:06, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Just for clarification, do you support now? Páll 20:13, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * We've still got some more issues to work out. For example, the sentence "The SANDF is extensively involved in peacekeeping operations in other parts of the continent" bothers me; I'd like to see some examples. See User:Neutrality/workshop for a transcript of some IRC comments. Neutralitytalk 05:02, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: examples on South African National Defence Force page. The size constraints (see other votes) limit enumerating. -- Dbroadwell 02:44, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Object : for reasons mostly pertaining to the lead section:
 * Look at the sentences in the first paragraph: "The Republic of South Africa is... / The South African economy is... / South Africa is... / South Africa has... / South Africa has... / South Africa ... posessed... / South Africa is...". Starting each sentence with the same words makes the intro sound bitty, reading like a fact sheet—it does not have the markings of brilliant prose. Try to rephrase, reword and refactor so that it becomes an engaging piece of text that guides the reader into the article. Cut down on the number of times "South Africa" is used.
 * The lead section contains multiple POV statements, which should either be removed or neutralised:
 * "South Africa is also arguably the most stable democracy in Africa": How does one measure the stability of a democracy? The use of the word "arguably" makes it a POV statement by definition.
 * "South Africa has become an important force for diplomacy": Important to whom?
 * "South Africa has the [...] most efficient military in Africa": How is the efficiency of a military measured?
 * "South Africa is now a racially unified country": The formal abolishment of apartheid law does not make a unified country overnight. The main article itself states that an economic divide remains. Does everbody agree that the country is truly racially unified?
 * "South Africa has become a vibrant [...] society": What's the measure of vibrancy? Would someone living in poverty in the country agree with that assessment?
 * "sustained economic growth must occur in order to lift millions out of poverty": OK, this might be a case of semantics, but the "must" makes it sound as if the author is giving an advice to the SA government. "is needed" might be a better choice of words.
 * The first paragraph ends with "South Africa is now a racially unified country...". The next paragraph begins with "South Africa was first unified...". The two unified's have a different meaning in the two sentences (if I'm not mistaken), which could lead to confusion. Try to reword one of them.
 * The lead paragraph mentions SA has the largest military in Africa and once had nuclear weapons, but the rest of the article offers no information at all about this topic. As the lead section is seen as a summary of the rest of the article, this sets up an expectation that is not delivered upon.
 * Thanks. --Plek 18:59, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your great comments, but the lead section has been completely rewritten and trimmed down, and no longer contains your objectional statements. Would you mind looking again? Páll 20:13, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. The lead section is much better now. Changing my vote to support. --Plek 00:45, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak Support Object — While I'm glad that most of my previous objections are resolved, I find the leadin section too long. Also, the page size stands at 40kb and I would like to see it shortened to near about 30kb, so that the article makes better reading -- focussing on main points rather than extraneous details. Nichalp 20:24, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * The lead section has been rewritten, however the article is not too long. Look at History of Russia, another Featured Article, for examples of length. There are articles two times this length that have been nominated. Páll 20:13, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * A long article is certainally very putting off. A summary of main topics should be how such articles should be written. I'm sure the article can be further shortened by précis just like India was shortened. The India page coveys maximum information and at the same time has a healthy page size. Lead-in is now OK, but I wont support until the size is cut down. Nichalp 20:34, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * The article has been shortened from 42k down to 34k. There's really not much more that can be cut. I hope this is acceptable. Páll 02:31, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * That's much better, I'll offer full support if you remove the indentations before {Main articles}. Nichalp

 * Support. A lot of good fixes. While, like any article, it could be improved more, what is there is very good and looks well researched. Object. Though I'm close to supporting. The lead section is too long, but not something I'd object over. As to the length of the article, some articles 2x this length have been promoted. Now to my objection, the culture section is very long (too long) and really only touches on the race and language points. What about all the other elements of culture such as dance, music, food, etc.? Oh yeah, and I agree with Plek's comments. - Taxman 21:37, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * I added much more contnet to the culture section. 20:13, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, yes that is much better. Now I've noticed a few more things. The orphan paragraph at the end of the lead section could stand to be merged in somewhere or expanded a little, perhaps with other problems facing South Africa. The other issue is the 'Names' section does not really talk much at all about the names for South Africa, even though it lists names of SA as the main article for the section. Instead it mostly just talks about the different languages of the country. In an article this long, is the name for the country really one of the most important topics? Maybe rename the section Languages of SA and then discuss the naming issue as it relates to that. - Taxman 19:19, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * I just took care of what you mentioned. Thanks for paying attention to that. I removed the HIV/AIDS orphan information since it is proscriptive rather than descriptive, and is discussed later on in the article. I also renamed the Names section "Languages." There really isn't more information on the naming issue that hasn't already been discussed in taht section. Páll 23:46, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Object. Henrygb 10:31, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC) There seems to be a copyright issue which has not been resolved in the talk page. Quoting from Copyright_problems 31 January 2005: Geography from  Flora and fauna from .
 * Wow, I am embarassed that this happened. I just completely rewrote those sections as pere this edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South_Africa&diff=0&oldid=10773831 Páll 20:13, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * You have said the same thing using some different words. I will leave it to others to judge whether it is enough on copyright issues. --Henrygb 00:21, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Support IMO, already of featured article quality. A couple of (helpful?) points: (1) with South Africa due to host the football World Cup in 2010, having hosted the most recent cricket World Cup, and being a big rugby union nation too, it would be nice to have something about its sporting credentials. (2) Also I agree it could do with a bit of shortening (by moving some articles to subpages), jguk 18:43, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, After the work me and Pàll did last time. Inter\Echo 12:48, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Please qualify the statement in the intro that "South Africa is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in Africa." What about Nigeria or the Congo? Neutralitytalk 17:57, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Uh, that's why it says one of the most ethnically diverse countries, not the most ethnically diverse. And it is, indeed, one of the most ethnically diverse countries in Africa.Pall (sorry, can't log in ... on a slow public computer)
 * Quantify it. :) Neutralitytalk 04:40, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Not to be mean, but are you arguing just for argument's sake? You're not being really helpful as to how this can be done. Mike H 07:33, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * No, I'm not. A sentence that says "South Africa is ethnically diverse" tells me nothing at all. Neutralitytalk 21:50, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, come on, I think the two facts below cover that issue as well as it can be. Unless you can come up with a reasonable way to resolve what you are asking for, I would submit that your objection is not actionable. - Taxman 15:47, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * http://www.statssa.gov.za/ click on population census 2001 and build a bit of data the proves/disproves ethnic diversity. I'm not voting here, but it's a very good reference. -- Dbroadwell 00:23, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * From Dictionary.com: Quantify: To determine or express the quantity of. There is no way to express the quantity of diversity. None. The only way to do so occurs in that sentence, when it is stated that South Africa has the largest population of Indian people outside of India, as well as the largest white and coloured population in Africa. I cannot say South Africa is 37.8% diverse. Your insistance on such is assinine. I rewrote the military section, but there is nothing wrong with saying that South Africa is one of the most diverse countries in Africa. If one said the United States were one of the largest countries in the world, you wouldn't then have to list the total area of Canada, China, and Russia and explain the difference of percentages between them all. Culture and diversity are notoriously hard to measure. About 8-10 native languages are spoken in Belgium, but Belgium is not a diverse country at all, while New York city has many, many different races but most everyone speaks English. Which one is more diverse? That's why only stating that South Africa is ONE of the most diverse (which it is) countries in Africa is the only appropriate form. Because its impossible to determine the most diverse because such a term is subjective and relative. Páll 09:05, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * ''' You have done an excellent article may I add a few tit bits having been involved. 1: the Good Hope Plan for SA was pulished in 1980 a scant 20 years after a negotiated 50 years servitude to British Empire at the end of the 2nd Boer war. This was part of prolonged negotiations for a truly democratic South Africa Started as far back as 1972 between the dominant political parties and the Nationalist party. The reason we in South Africa had no bloody conflicts was because of the overall goodwill that exsisted at grassroots level. No Media or political hype could destroy that. Having said that, your date 1990 for the dismantleing of apartheid laws is a bit belated In 1980 we already started to abolish some laws that were discriminatory espescially the Mining Act of 1956. I know this as I was part of that excercise. Otherwise you have a great article. 196.2.124.251 11:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Andrew Swan

Depth conversion

Depth conversion is an important step of the seismic reflection method, which converts the acoustic wave travel time to actual depth, based on the acoustic velocity of subsurface medium (sediments, rocks, water).

Depth conversion integrates several sources of information about the subsurface velocity to derive a three-dimensional velocity model:
 * "Well tops", i.e., depth of geological layers encountered in oil and gas wells
 * Velocity measurements made in oil and gas wells
 * Empirical knowledge about the velocities of the rocks in the area investigated
 * Root Mean Square (RMS) stacking velocities which are derived from the processing of the seismic reflection data

The conversion permits the production of depth and thickness maps that depict subsurface layers that are based on reflection data. These maps are crucial in hydrocarbon exploration because they permit the volumetric evaluation of gas or oil in place. In the example subsurface map presented below, depth increases from red to blue. The highest zone in red is an oilfield at approximately 3000 m below sea level.

Florida breaks
Since google turns up a large number of unrelated articles, it doesn't appear very notable. Could be vanity for the sole DJ mentioned that seems to work in this genre. Radiant! 10:47, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC) GRider\talk 18:06, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and allow for organic growth as google and Internet DJ seem to suggest that this is a verifiable genre.
 * KEEP ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?! lets see, Florida is where "breaks" style electro originated, Its considered the center of that genre's scene. I guess musicians like DJ Icey, Huda Hudia, Baby Anne, Tony Faline (thats just a FEW of the big names), all of which make a good living djing it should just give it up cause its not notable. Not to mention the multiple compilations of the "Florida Breaks" series Vol 1. here (which I might add is up to volume 11 at the moment even if Amazon doesnt sell them all). Then theres the Mixmag cds titled "Florida Breaks". The FLORIDA BREAKS ROOM at Ultra Music Festival every year (which runs along with one of the largest DJ/Electronic oriented conventions the Winter Music Conference). Then theres its mention on Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music (which is considered damn near the bible as far as genre typing goes even if it is tongue in cheek). Perhaps if you googled its alternate name you'd be convinced. Funky Breaks Results 1 - 100 of about 744,000 for Funky Breaks. Not to mention this is what Big beat evolved from. So I guess its ok to mention that subject in a total vacuum.... gotcha   ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 18:16, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, if you would add that to the article, it would be a lot better. Not everybody knew that 'funky breaks' was a synonym. Sometimes bad or stubby articles get nominated because they make the subject look unencyclopedic; this situation is easily remedied by expanding the article, at which point the nomination is (usually) withdrawn or voted down. Radiant! 09:11, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep this is one of those "what the heck?" nominations. Though I'm sure not everyone has heard of it, it's a valid and pretty well-known club genre.

Maps
Good work on the referendum maps, they really improve the article. I'm interested in why the yes vote was lower in Catalonia than in the rest of Spain. Is it because the EU won't recognise Catalan as an official language? That's the only thing I can think of. The Basques didn't seem very keen on it either. I wonder why this was. — Trilobite (Talk) 13:40, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Hola Carlos and thanks for explaining. I should have realised the secessionist parties campaigning against it would have had an effect. I'm from England since you ask. The referendum here will probably be in about a year's time and much harder to win (I will be voting yes) because the main opposition party is officially campaigning against it (a few of the top people support it but not enough of them) and some of the tabloid newspapers are unfortunately quite anti-European. It will be a close one I think. Interestingly the Welsh and Scottish nationalists and secessionists (Plaid Cymru and the SNP) tend to be more pro-European than the central British government over here. Anyway you seem to be translating your ideas into English very well. I can just about get by speaking Spanish and I can read it ok, but I'm not good enough to be able to write whole Wikipedia articles in Spanish without making mistakes. You seem to be doing fine in English. Regards. — Trilobite (Talk) 15:01, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Te invito a hacer aportaciones en la Wikipedia en castellano o en catalán al menos en estos temas novedosos sobre España que luego traduces al inglés, así se benefician más lectores.

Sobre els municipis del País Valencià.
Hola!! A la teua pàgina d'usuari poses que coneixes el valencià, i açò és una sort perquè em podrè dirigir a tu amb la llengua que faig servir per als meus amics ;). A més a més, gairebé som paisans, perquè visc a l'Alacantí, a Sant Joan d'Alacant, tot i que sóc nascut d'Elx. Al gra.

He volgut escriure't abans que et pogueres sentir ofés pels nombrosos canvis que he fet als articles relacionats amb municipis valencians. Al principi pensava que eren aportacions puntuals, però a mesura que el nombre de canvis augmentava sense parar, me'n preguntat si cap usuari estava dedicant-se metòdicament en crear articles sobre les nostres ciutats i els nostres pobles. En mirar l'historial me'n he adonat que sí, i per açò m'he adreçat cap a tu.

Normalment participe a la Viquipèdia en valencià (altrament dita catalana) i, ara per ara, les meues aportacions se centren en localitats valencianes. De fet, a la nostra viquipèdia hi vaig crear un Viquiprojecte (ací en diuen Wikiproject) per a les localitats valencianes, acordant-hi uns criteris i recomanacions d'estandardització d'articles relacionats amb el tema. El tens a Viquiprojecte Municipis del País Valencià, i també en tenim d'un altre relacionat amb les comarques, Viquiprojecte Comarques del País Valencià. Amb açò, el que fem allà és evitar que tornen a repetir-se errades de criteri, aixina com la repetició de treballs, o que uns i altres, per no haver acordat un criteri comú, es trepitgen el treball.

Et dic tot açò perquè jo també tenia en ment fer articles sobre localitats valencianes tant a la viquipèdia en anglès com a la viquipèdia en espanyol, utilitzant com a base d'informació el que fem a la viquipèdia en valencià. En altres paraules, tenia pensat copiar el viquiprojecte a l'espanyol i a l'anglès, perquè el criteri fòra el mateix. Obviament, algunes qüestions haurien de ser un poquet diferent, sobretot allò referent a l'ús de les llengües, per exemple. Es per açò que he volgut posar-me en contacte amb tu per a vore si és possible que arribem a un acord sobre els criteris d'ús de les llengües (toponímia, llocs, edificis, etc...), per a no trepitjar-nos la feina mútuament. Fins i tot, si et sembla bé, podem crear ací un Wikiproject, partint del que ja existeix en valencià, i l'anem adaptant amb les circumstàncies de la viqui anglesa.

En fi, salutacions, i bon vent!

--Martorell 15:49, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Holes de nou Waninoco!! M'alegre d'haver rebut una resposta edificant i constructiva per part teua. Com a principi general, em sembla molt vàlida la idea de basar les entrades dels articles relacionats amb les localitats valencianes pel seu nom oficial aprovat, en primer lloc, i pel seu domini lingüístic, en segon lloc. A la nostra viquipèdia tenim un Llistat de municipis del País Valencià amb la seua denominació oficial, al costat del seu nom en valencià i en castellà. El problema vé que són força difossos alguns noms en castellà de molts dels municipis considerats de predomini lingüístic valencià, com ara Alacant, el nom oficial del qual és bilingüe Alacant/Alicante.

Tot i que en aquest cas sóc partidari de referir-se generalment com a Alacant, abans que res intente ser pràctic, i sé que en poc de temps de res alguna persona ja començarà dir que no és el nom més conegut, etc etc etc. Aleshores, per als municipis que tinguen la denominació bilingüe oficial, havia pensat que es podria fer una plantilla, del tipus, on el nom de la localitat seria la variable. Així, a l'article d'Alacant hi posariem, i al de Alicante hi posarien. Si no m'he fet entendre, visita la pàgina d'Alacant, o d'Alicante, i voràs el resultat.

El tema de si valencià o català m'és igual, tot i que personalment jo faig servir més el terme de "valencià" quan es tracta amb articles relacionats amb el País Valencià. Ara bé... de la mateixa manera que a Espanya en diem castellà a l'espanyol, al País Valencià li diem valencià al català. Però fora d'Espanya és força més conegut el nom d'espanyol (spanish), com que fora del País Valencià i de la resta de l'àmbit lingüístic és més conegut el nom de català (catalan). Sé que últimament s'està fent esforços en promoure el nom de valencià fora del País Valencià (valencian), però encara és massa prematur com perquè aquest nom s'associe a la mateixa llengua del català.

Per últim, el tema del nom del País Valencià en anglès. Sé bén bé que el nom oficial és Comunitat Valenciana, en valencià, i Comunidad Valenciana, en castellà. El nom de "País Valencià", en valencià, i "País Valenciano", són termes legalment admesos encara que no siga oficial, perquè ho recull el preamble de l'Estatut d'Autonomia. És a dir, es diu "Comunitat Valenciana" al "País Valencià" com ara es diu "Comunitat Autònoma Basca" al "País Basc" encara que aquest últim no és un terme oficial. Ara, en la qüestió del nom en anglès, el problema és que no hi ha cap tradició d'un nom en anglès. Jo feia servir "Valencian Country" perquè dir "Valencian Community" no té el mateix significat que "Comunitat Valenciana", perquè el terme "community" es refereix a un conjunt de persones amb unes diferències comunes dins d'un ambient cultural majoritari (per exemple, "the jewish community in NY City"). Ara, el nom de "Land of Valencia" no va sorgir de mi, i té exactament el significat territorial i social que té l'equivalent "Comunitat Valenciana". És un nom en anglès que fa servir la pàgina de turisme oficial valencià http://www.comunitatvalenciana.com, on en francés és "Communauté de Valence", i en alemany és "Landes Valencia". Resulta que el terme "Land" sovint es fa referència a un territori autònom, i l'exemple perfecte són els lander alemanys, l'equivalent a la comunitat autònoma a Espanya.

Sorry for responding slowly to your message. I have been too busy with exams to work on wikipedia. Now, I'm finished though. I'll have a short break to work on the translation of the Spanish transition to democracy article. I started the translation to practice for a trip to Spain I am taking in a week. So, I probably will not get much done before then, and then I'll have to take a longer break. If you want to help with the translation, I'm working on the second section now. Feel free to work on other sections, of course. If you want to work jointly, let me know. I could edit your sections or vice versa. --Bkwillwm 04:15, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

English correction
your page says you'd like to be apprised when someone corrects your English. I changed the sentence "It is also remarkable its Moros i Cristians festival." to "Also remarkable is its Moros i Cristians festival." in the article on Crevillent. The first sentence seems to have two subjects "it" and "its festival", which is not allowed for English sentences. diff

Grasshopper Page
Why was the photo gallery on the grasshopper page removed? I can see no reason why the photos on the old page (Grasshopper) shouldn't be included in the new version. That photo from fotoclipart.com is useless compared to the old ones. --Fir0002 07:26, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * No I was the one who created the gallery - my edits were lost when most of the info was moved from Caelifera to Grasshopper (see the caelifera history. I think it should be returned. What do you think? --Fir0002 12:03, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Alcoi 1925.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Alcoi 1925.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Thuresson 20:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:Cocentaina.png, was tagged with the coatofarms copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as seal. If you have any questions, ask them at Media copyright questions. -- 01:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

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

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

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

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 18:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Spanish commemorative euro coin 2005.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Spanish commemorative euro coin 2005.jpg.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Image source problem with Image:Son de Sol.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Son de Sol.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags.

Image permission problem with Image:MareNostrumReal.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MareNostrumReal.jpg I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Barcelona Supercomputer Center.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Barcelona Supercomputer Center.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Higüey

The article Higüey has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "There has never been a province in the Dominican Republic named 'Higüey'. Also, there is no Wikipedia article about the Taíno chiefdom and its present-day mention is merely academic as Taínos had no written history, so a hypotetical article about the chiefdom should use the template in the city's article instead of needing a disambiguation page. Therefore this disambiguation page is unnecessary. Note that an unsubscribed user pointed this previously in 2014 on this edit: Special:Diff/632583627."

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

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

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

Castillo v. Texas, (Tex. 2002) was a controversial Texan court decision in which Jesus Castillo, an employee of a comic book store in Dallas, Texas, was charged with two counts of "display of obscenity", and convicted for one, after selling adult comics to an adult.

Background
The sales took place in late 1999, at which time Castillo was working as a clerk in Keith's Comics, a store that had come under investigation for allegations of making obscene material accessible to minors. The store did in fact carry pornographic material, but in a clearly marked, restricted section not accessible to underaged customers. During this time, a plainclothes police officer bought said materials from Castillo, leading to the arrest of Castillo and his undergoing a court trial some months later.

The counts were over the sales of Demon Beast Invasion and Legend of the Overfiend, both of which are hentai manga (pornographic Japanese comics). The two were set to be tried separately. The Demon trial ended with a guilty verdict, the prosecution's argument to the jury being based on the claim that "comics are for children" and that the item was therefore designed to appeal to children, and the fact that the store was across the street from an elementary school. Notably, the trial featured experts Scott McCloud and Susan J. Napier testifying for the defense.

Castillo was sentenced to 180 days in jail (since suspended), a year's probation, and a $4,000 fine. The Legend trial was subsequently dropped. The case was appealed to the Fifth District Court of Appeals, where it was upheld in a split decision, and later on to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals as well as eventually to the U.S. Supreme Court; both were denied.

The case drew considerable controversy (and incredulity), especially online. Public opinion was on Castillo's side, and the trial was widely considered absurd. The $4,000 for the fine was collected via fund-raisers. It also came to the attention of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which became heavily involved and spent tens of thousands of dollars for Castillo's defense. Keith's Comics has since voluntarily removed comics with a rating worse than 'R' from its selection.
