Gmail
I'm embarking upon my first real Wikipedia mission: The Gmail article.

It really isn't too bad (and I've improved it a bit already, I think), but I'm still not sure about a lot of it. Is it really necessary to have that huge list of links at the bottom? Does our incredibly detailed description of how the labeling function works really add anything to the article? Basically, I want to know at what point "encyclopedic" becomes "who cares". Care to help? Starwiz 05:20, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * "Most of the criticism, however, was against Google's plans to add context-sensitive advertisements to e-mails by automatically scanning them." Given the amount of criticism this received, that slim coverage is a huge understatement. (*NOTE: I have added a couple of sentances of elaboration on this topic, though it still rather glosses over the issue -- anorris) "Features" is an overused press release word that assumes components of the software are beneficial or should be seen positively, and I think a neutral word is needed. 119 05:29, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * While features can certainly have a slight positive connotation, I believe can also be interpreted as reasonably neutral. Even in development processes, it is the technical word most often used for components and/or functions of the software that fulfill a specific task.  You'll note "Features" is also widely used and accepted on Wikipedia to designate the objects in question, as exemplified by featured articles Emacs and Firefox. Even on highly controversial pages like Internet Explorer, use of the term is not disputed, so it is unlikely anyone will take issue at it being used in Gmail. That being said, your point is an interesting one, and it certainly couldn't hurt if we had a more "neutral" term. Can you think of any? Phils 09:00, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

What do you guys think of the huge list of links at the bottom? How about the list of keyboard shortcuts? Should I move the former into webmail and the latter into a new article? Starwiz 15:37, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes and yes. All the links not specific to Gmail should be moved to the general article, but kept at all only if they are relatively important. Wikipedia is not a link farm. The shortcuts should be moved because they are simply too detailed to be needed in a general overview article. They are no less usefull in a separate article that is linked to, but are much less in the way that way. 2) The 'Competition' section is way to detailed, and especially so about the storage issue. That whole section could be condensed to one paragraph of a few sentences that describes the issue and some external links for citation. It would be much easier to read and just as useful. 3) If you would like this so be a featured article, work to meet all the criteria for those. The biggest one this doesn't seem to meet is references. If some of the external links are reliable and were properly used as such, they can be formatted as references as shown in the link I just gave. - Taxman 19:55, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * pointing device or similar, not mouse (what about a trackpad then?), gmail4the troops should be under the invatations subheading not under general links. –Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 03:53, 2005 Feb 23 (UTC)

 * You need to cite a source for this: "Independent tests conducted in May 2004 showed this spam filter to be about 60% accurate for a wide variety of spam, ...." --Jim Henry 20:32, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think that the list of other email providers should rather be in the email article. The webmail providers could be moved to webmail article, too. People look for such lists in email or webmail articles, they don't want to guess, which webmail service article has such list. Or are you willing to type the same list to every article about a webmail service, and maintain the duplicates, too? And then people start adding more email services to the list, and the lists grow and grow... Also, you should decide whether to spell e-mail or email throughtout this article. -Hapsiainen 20:18, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Olmec religion

Untitled
Started this article, linked to mythology, on 18 February 2005. It is difficult to be detailed about such a mysterious pre-historic culture, so the article is quite general so far. Am working to verify some dates. Please feel free to comment or add. Stuff on jaguars very general. Advice welcome. WBardwin

Feathered Serpent Worship
AFAIK, there is no evidence for Olmec worship of the feathered serpent ... it's quite speculative, I believe. I think most of the speculation derives from this image:

http://www.meta-religion.com/World_Religions/Images/olmecserpent.jpg

But it could really mean anything ... it's clear that it was an image used by the Olmec, but I don't believe there's any certainty about the context of the image - the fact that it's depicted in a few images doesn't necessarily indicate it was a deity to the Olmecs. Does anyone have any definitive answer to this question?

 * I suppose we don't have "definitive" answers to anything about their beliefs, nor any absolutely solid evidence that the did or didn't worship anything. We can only go by their art and artifacts, and comparison to later Mesoamerican cultures.
 * Close study of Olmec art and details of iconography shows clear continuity of some entities known from later for example Maya Classic, Zapotec, etc art. Miguel Covarrubias, David Joralemon, and others made studies decades ago showing this.
 * I myself happen to have done some graduate research on feathered serpents and also objects related to the manekin sceptor some 20 years ago at Tulane with the late Donald Robertson, and can vouch that there is much more feathered serpent related Olmec art than the one you link to. I'm sure more and better research on the topic has been done more recently. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 17:12, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

So what? The Olmecs had no female divinity? No female statues or other depictions of goddesses? Why no mention of them here? Athana 21:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Firstly, there is very little which can be definitively stated about the religious beliefs and "pantheon" of the Olmec; there are no (decipherable) written records, and all that scholars have to go on are tentative iconographic interpretations. And secondly, of those Olmec motifs which are presumed to be representations of deity-like figures, "none has specific sexual characteristics to indicate gender", to quote Miller and Taube, The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya (1993), p.126. Olmec (presumed) deities are in the main derived with animal characteristics with some anthropomorphic features. Thirdly, from what is known about the perception of gender in later Mesoamerican cultures, it does not easily correspond with what may be called the "Western" perception and dichotomy of two (non-overlapping) genders. Rather, there is perhaps a higher degree of mutability in the perception, and the arrangement of deities into male/female pairs can be seen to represent a commonly-observed dualistic principle of multiple "aspects"- cf. Ometeotl as an example. The complicated roles and perceptions of gender in Mesoamerican societies is a valid topic to explore somewhere; but in the particular case of the Olmec it is little more than speculation at best to do so, given the dearth of materials.--cjllw | TALK  04:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Off topic, also some factual or interpretive concerns also
There's a lot of discussion of various later (non-Olmec) mythologies in this article, but little really on the subject itself. Tying in for eg contemporary K'iche' beliefs is drawing a very long bow, as far as relevance to Olmec belief systems is concerned. While any 'Olmec legacy' in later Mesoamerican systems can and should be mentioned, this disparate selection of elements is prob not the best way to illustrate any such influence. And I'm not sure that some of these have any direct relevance to Olmec concepts, or that the interpretation wld be supported in relevant literature. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 23:45, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This is not a good article (much less a Good Article). It contains a lot of what amounts to Original Research and much of this is not accurate.
 * The best thinking on the matter is Peter David Joralemon's A study of Olmec iconography. Unfortunately, this 1971 book/paper is nearly impossible for me to obtain.  Even after all this time, writers generally defer to Peter's definitions, largely because nothing better has come up since.
 * I do have other papers by Joralemon and others and so perhaps I will tackle fixing up this darn thing. Madman (talk) 03:42, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, how's that for a first draft?? It at least provides a well-ref'd outline that we can add to over time.  The area is very confusing, with the experts offering sometimes-conflicting interpretations.  And the area of religious practice needs to be expanded, and a history of research is also needed, but the foundation is solid now.  Madman (talk) 04:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Hey madman- looking good, quite a thoughtful & well-written draft rewrite (as per usual). Nice stuff, a sound base now for future expansion. Cheers! --cjllw ʘ  TALK 07:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Roger Quilter

Roger Cuthbert Quilter (1 November 1877 – 21 September 1953) was a British composer, known particularly for his art songs. His songs, which number over a hundred, often set music to text by William Shakespeare and are a mainstay of the English art song tradition.

Biography
Quilter was born in Hove, Sussex; a commemorative blue plaque is on the house at 4 Brunswick Square. He was a younger son of Sir William Quilter, 1st Baronet, a wealthy noted landowner, politician and art collector.

Roger Quilter was educated first in the preparatory school at Farnborough. He then moved to Eton College and later became a fellow-student of Percy Grainger, Cyril Scott and H. Balfour Gardiner at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt, where he studied for almost five years under the guidance of the German professor of composition Iwan Knorr. Quilter belonged to the Frankfurt Group, a circle of composers who studied at the Hoch Conservatory in the late 1890s.

His reputation in England rests largely on his songs and on his light music for band trios, such as his Children's Overture, with its interwoven nursery rhyme tunes, and a suite of music for the play Where the Rainbow Ends. He is noted as an influence on several English composers, including Peter Warlock.

Quilter enjoyed a fruitful collaboration with the tenor Gervase Elwes until the latter's death in 1921. In November 1936, Quilter's opera Julia was presented at Covent Garden by the British Music Drama Opera Company under the direction of Vladimir Rosing. It ran for only seven performances. Heavily revised, it was later published as Love at the Inn.

As a gay man during the late 19th century, it was difficult to cope with the pressures that were imposed upon him by his hidden homosexuality, and he struggled with mental illness after the loss of his nephew Arnold Guy Vivian during World War II.

He died at his home on 21 September 1953, in St John's Wood, London, a few months after celebrations to mark his 75th birthday, and was buried in the family vault at St Mary's Church, Bawdsey, Suffolk.

Songs
Roger Quilter's output of songs, more than one hundred in total, added to the canon of English art song that is still sung today. According to Valerie Langfield, his style "was indisputably English" despite his German training, and once matured around 1905, did not develop further. Shakespeare, Herrick, and Shelley were his favoured poets. Among the most popular are "Love's Philosophy", "Fair House of Joy", "Come Away Death", "Go, Lovely Rose", "Weep You No More", "By the Sea", and his setting of "O Mistress Mine". Quilter's setting of verses from the Tennyson poem "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" is one of his earliest songs but is nonetheless characteristic of the later, mature style.

Of his seventeen Shakespeare settings, the Three Shakespeare Songs (1905, revised 1906) are perhaps the most successful: commenting on "O Mistress Mine" Peter Warlock said the song is "one of the very few things that very simply send me into ecstasies every time I play it". While a collection rather than a true song cycle, Seven Elizabethan Lyrics is "probably the best single volume of songs the composer ever produced", according to Michael Pilkington, and includes the still regularly performed "Fair House of Joy" as its final song. But perhaps his most widely known work is Non Nobis, Domine (1934). This was written for the Pageant of Parliament at the Royal Albert Hall July 1934, to a text by Rudyard Kipling, and has become the school song or school hymn of many girls' schools in the English-speaking world. He also published the Arnold Book of Old Songs, a collection of 16 folk and traditional songs from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and France to new accompaniments, dedicated to his nephew Arnold Guy Vivian.

Talk:Bavarian Soviet Republic

Removed Rosa Luxemburg
She was listed as one of the leaders of the government but that's quite impossible since she was executed by firing squad in Jan 1919. Please dont add her back. TY — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.122.163.252 (talk) 03:25, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

"On Sunday, 12 April 1919, the Communist Party seized power"
This sentence is vague to me as a naive reader. Did the Communist Party have an electoral victory, or was there a forceful coup? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.13.130.154 (talk) 09:44, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Map error(s)
I would entirely remove the map from the article as it not only appears to be a poorly adapted version of a larger map of Germany (e.g. names of French cities (Colmar, Strasbourg) visibly cut off, very crude borders of the grey shade etc.) but in addition to that depicts the Bavarian border after the 1920 accession of the Coburg area following a referendum. Since the general information provided by the map imo isn't all that crucial to the article in the first place, I don't see the harm in simply taking it out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.21.62.21 (talk) 16:24, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Untitled
I took the initiative to move this article from Munich Soviet Republic because most English language academic sources refer to it as Bavarian Soviet Republic. I intend to spend a lot of time improving this article, and look forward to any one else who may want to contribute. —ExplorerCDT 05:24, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Categories
If the article is in "History of Bavaria" category (which is a subcategory of "German history" and "Germany") there's no need to put it in "Germany" and "German history" categories as well. This is the category policy of Wikipedia.

That is because otherwise would make hard to browse the main categories, as for example "Germany", because there would be too many topics on them. The same way, we put a German musician under the "German musicians" category and not in the category "People". Bogdan | Talk 17:50, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Fuck policy. Some of Wikipedia's conventions are convulted, self-contradictory and downright stupid.  —ExplorerCDT 18:07, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * that's right, man! the more categories the better, keep up the fight against wikipedia paper-shufflers (they already dominate in the German Wiki). --85.178.100.7 20:22, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Category
Bavaria is a part of germany,and putting history of Bavaria separate is like putting Hurricane Katrina to Texas/Lousiana History.Its should be included,and size of category isn't a valid argument. "Harder to browse" would be hard to navigate many topics far exceeding germany categories. And for the record grouping people by nationality isn't a really good idea in perspective(emigrants,travellers,national minorities,etc) and better adressed by grouping in terms of subject area(i.e. Profession,Religion,Occupation) internationally. ex:German scientists vs scientists by field(Chemists,physicists,Biologists)

Thurn und Taxis
The article says that a prince of the House of Thurn and Taxis was executed for spying by the revolutionaries, but I haven't found any further information about this individual on the web. The German article does not mention anyone from the house, and the Thurn und Taxis article does not have any princes dying in 1919. Is there a source for this inclusion in the article? Olessi 22:37, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 Aufgabe 10 Was wird den roten Exekutionskommandos in München allerdings zum Verhängnis? Wo gehen sie zu weit?

Lösungshinweis: Nach der Erschießung des Grafen Thurn und Taxis und der Gräfin Westphal schlägt die Stimmung unter der Bevölkerung endgültig um. Die Bürger haben genug; in München stationierte Soldaten wenden sich nun gegen die Räte-Anhänger.

This infobite seems to be an angle to pursue. Agathoclea 08:29, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * This lead me to the following radioprogramme transcript descibing the events: Agathoclea 08:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Events are also alluded here: Thule_society. Agathoclea 08:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the links. Looks like the executed are Gustav von Thurn und Taxis and Heila von Westarp. Olessi 15:18, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Name change
Per Naming Conventions (common names), I reverted this page back to Bavarian Soviet Republic from its 3 month captivity at Munich Soviet Republic. Why? Because BSR is the common name in English especially given its academic usage compared to MSR. If the Germans refer to it differently, let them do so on the German Wikipedia. —ExplorerCDT 03:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

 * It is to me (as Norwegian) very strange to translate the German concept Räterepublik into Soviet Republic. 'Soviet' is the Russian word for 'Council' or 'Advisory board'. The Germans were inspired by the Russian uprising, but was independent from the Bolsheviks. To term the Bavarian Councils Republic for Bavarian Soviet Republic may be the norm of U.S. historians, but according to neutral point of view, it is not. --Xact (talk) 10:03, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * maybe I am biased as a native speaking German, but the the Name "soviet" strikes me as odd. "people's republic" would be more fitting. Never have I heard of the name soviet used by German speakers other than in context of Russian speaking countries. Does anyone say soviet republic of china? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.145.254.152 (talk) 13:00, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Rat (plural Räte) = soviet = council hence Räterepublik = Soviet Republic (concil republic is not a very common term isn't it), Volksrepublik = people's republic, but it was not the Volksrepublik Bayern it was the Räterepublik Bayern, the term people's republic would also be problemetic since the states of Hessen and Württemberg calld themselves people's republic in the Weimar era - so the term people's republic (Volksrepublik) was used in German history but in an other context 178.210.114.106 (talk) 21:01, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * and it seems like in the english language soviet republic is the standart term for Räterepublik even in a non-USSR context, see Soviet republic (system of government) 178.210.114.106 (talk) 21:06, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I know this hasn't been changed for many years, but as a native English speaker from England, not America or elsewhere I find the title confusing and problematic. I spend a lot of time in Munich and also speak German. When I came across this article I assumed from the title that it was something I had not heard before and there must have somehow been Russian interference for there to be a 'Soviet' government, which I had never heard of. In British English we do not talk about the Chinese Soviet, Vietnamese Soviet, North Korean Soviet etc. On reading the article it became obvious the article is about the 'Bayerische Räterepublic' - English direct translation 'Bavarian councils republic', which I already knew about. I came to the talk page because I correctly assumed that the topic name must have been discussed and I find no compelling reason that the Russian word should be used or that workers' council should be implied. Wiki attempts to be accurate and does not necessarily follow convention if accuracy is lost. If I search Google I find plenty of hits for Bavarian council republic or similar. The German term Räte (councils) is the plural of Rat which simply means council and does not imply workers council / soviet. Rat is used in many contexts in German, from workers' council (Betriebsrat) right up to the European council (Europäischer Rat) and would never imply the meaning workers' council on its own. To me the title is VERY confusing as a native British English speaker. I would suggest it should be re-titled the Bavarian Council republic to be a more accurate translation of the German. Alternatively an additional explanation in the first sentence might suffice, e.g. The Bavarian or Munich Soviet Republic, literally translated from German as the Bavarian or Munich council republic (German: Räterepublik Baiern, Münchner Räterepublik)... etc. Lkingscott (talk) 08:25, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

NPOV Dispute
This article seems to violate the Neutral Point of View. Why, for instance, does it make a specific point of naming several of the "counter-revolutionaries" executed by the Rote Armee, but only mentions Leviné when discussing the state's reaction? Also, why does it only mention actions taken by the Communists against the state, but not actions taken by the state (prior to, during, and after the November Revolution) against Communists and workers? This article fails to even account for the causes of the Revolution, except as an indirect result of the October Revolution in Russia.Alexandergreenb (talk) 03:24, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

The article says (with no sources) that the Freikorps killed 700 people after destroying the Bavarian Soviet Republic. Is that not a good enough reaction for you? The article states that the communist revolution in Hungary emboldened the revolutionaries. A failure to fully account for the causes of the state's formation doesn't mean that the article is biased, just bad. MustaphaMond (talk) 00:58, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

 * From a Nordic, and say European perspective, this article is very biased. The revolutionaries of Hungary and Russia for that matter, did as much look to Germany, France and England for that matter, as the other way around. The Bolsheviks of Russia did choose a path that for huge parts of the International revolutionary movement was seen with critical eyes. State communism, the Bolshevik (Leninist) way has never represented the majority among Euro-communists. But they gained momentum and the whole of the peoples movement were emboldened as you say (MustaphaMond). --Xact (talk) 10:21, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Russian support
The article claims that Russian soldiers were sent to execute hostages; considering that Russia was in the midst of a civil war and separated both by multiple enemies and enormous distances from Bavaria, this seems extremely unlikely. The source that supports this does not seem to be of a high quality, especially for such extraordinary claim. Therefore I'm removing it from the article until a better source is found. Kostja (talk) 16:42, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Demise Section
This part of the article is very poorly written and reads like biased analysis. In particular this phrase, 'the majority of German Jews were patriotic Germans who did great service for Germany'.

"The tragic and unfortunate events related to establishment of the Bavarian Soviet Republic was that the Nazi propagandists used the action of a small group of Jewish activists to attack the entire German Jewish community. The fact was that the majority of German Jews were patriotic Germans who did great service for Germany but the Nazis exploited the actions of the Spartacus League to claim that this was a anti-German "Jewish conspiracy" and used this to create anti-Jewish hatred and the tragic events of the Holocaust." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack Paris Cernunnos (talk • contribs) 11:37, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I tried to wikify this and added a fact tag. Ghostofnemo (talk) 01:11, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Proposal to delete this article
A Bavarian Soviet Republic has never existed. I propose to delete this article. Here are my arguments:

 * The first 'Ministerpräsident' (chef of the gouvernment, Minister-President) was Kurt Eisner, who distanced himself from the Russian Bolsheviks.
 * A 'Soviet' in Russia is not comparable to a worker's council in Munich in 1919. In fact the word 'soviet' means a board of soldiers and workers as in the model that Lenin and Stalin had installed in USSR.
 * On 13th of April 1919, Eugen Leviné, who was member of the KPD and was born in Russia, installed an Institution called 'action board'. The action board had been defeated by 'freikorps' after 15 days (on 27th of April 1919). This short period is not typical for the whole period of the 'Münchner Räterepublik', that lasted 5 mounths.
 * There was an government in exile in Bamberg (under Hoffmann) during the time of the action board of Eugen Leviné in Munich. Therefore it is not clear, which government is legal and which not.
 * Leviné asked Lenin for Help but Russia did not help. That shows that there is no strong relation to Russia.
 * After WW I in other parts of Germany old monarchies were finished and some people tried to take over power. For example Karl Liebknecht tried to found a free socialistic republic in Berlin two hours after Philip Scheidemann had anounced the Weimarer Republik. So there is no historical item, called Berlin Soviet Republic or German Soviet Republic. Therefore it is not logical that Bavaria should be called a Soviet Republic.
 * I am from Munich. My great Grandma, who lived near the Theresienwiese, where Eisner started the Bavarian revolution, never told my grand mother (who is still alive, she was her mother in law) of a red Bavarian flag or about a Bavarian Soviet Republic.
 * Bavaria never stod unter such strong idiological or military influence of the russian kommunist party as a Soviet Republics did.
 * Bavaria was never a part of the Soviet Union. If somebody had asked Lenin, if Bavaria was part of the Soviet Union, he would have denied that.
 * Even the Eastern part of germany, the German Democratic Republic, was not a German Soviet Republic after WW II, despite beeing a 100% satelite state of the Soviet Union.

These arguments prove that Bavaria was not an Soviet Republic at any time. I propose that this short period may be called "Period of experimental socialism in Munich". I propose to delete this article and transfer its contents to an article with a better name.

--Mnntoino (talk) 19:56, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Is there an article or section of an article about this on German Wikipedia? If so, what is the title? I see one reference (Gaab) that refers to the "Free State of Bavaria" before the Leninist coup and "Bavarian Soviet Republic" after the coup. How about renaming the article "Bavarian Socialist Republic" as it is referred to here in the article on Bavaria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavaria#20th_century ? Ghostofnemo (talk) 02:38, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks like the German Wikipedia article is called Münchner Räterepublik https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchner_R%C3%A4terepublik which translates as "Munich Soviet Republic". Ghostofnemo (talk) 02:43, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

"Team of Jewish Revolutionaries"
There is absolutely no call for this to be in the opening sentence of this page. The implication of this phrasing suggests that the leadership was organised on the basis of their Judaism and not simply the result of the socialists involved in the several varied leaderships of the short lived republic happening to be ethnically Jewish. It's only relevance to the page is in how critics and propagandists would paint the republic afterwards and this is already addressed in the article.

The citation given to back up the claim of a team of Jewish revolutionaries uses the word "Jewish" twice in relation to the republic. Once while describing Eisner and again when describing the perceptions of critics of the republic. A single ethnically Jewish leader does not constitute a "Team of Jewish Revolutionaries" and the other reference to the top leadership being Russian or Jewish does not add any more to what we already know that the top figure in each leadership was an ethnic Jew.

There was no single leadership of this republic as is quite clear from the article itself. There was an Eisner leadership, a Hoffmann leadership, a Toller leadership, a Leviné leadership. While three out of those four leaders were Jewish that only backs a claim that three out of four attempted leaders of the republic were Jews. It does not back a claim that it was an attempt at a socialist republic "led mainly by a team of Jewish revolutionaries". That would suggest a single coherent team of exclusively Jewish revolutionaries led the republic through the course of its short existence which simply isn't true and quite honestly sounds more like NSDAP propaganda from the time than a wikipedia article. The fact that the author of this edit also contributes to the page for Nazism does raise suspicions about the motives of their edit.

If the user wants to elaborate in the article on the over representation of ethnically Jewish socialists in the various governments and the effects that had then they can do so elsewhere in the article with appropriate sources. But it has no place in the opening sentence any more than than the Irish-American origin of the President of the short-lived Irish Republic has in its opening sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnSionnachín (talk • contribs) 15:56, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

 * I agree with the above arguments. I'd like to remove "Jewish" to read "a team of revolutionaries." Objections? K.e.coffman (talk) 20:01, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Against. It is of neutral and distinct interest, meeting WP:N, that this German revolution within a German state was NOT led by people from the majority population. If you find any personal problem with this, or find it offensive, that is your own prerogative and independent of the nature of the Project. Furthermore, the unsigned first comment ends with an apples-to-oranges fallacy in that the "short-lived Irish Republic"'s leader was still distinctly Irish. It seems to me that articles of this type seem to lack WP:AGF and WP:NPOV on all fronts by certain users.--  Sıgehelmus   (Talk) |д=)  23:47, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I see your point. However, when used as "team of Jewish revolutionaries" it implies a country of origin, and there was no Jewish state at that time. How about "a team of German and Russian revolutionaries, mostly of Jewish descent." I see that Levine was from Russia, I assume some were from Germany, but please correct me if I'm wrong. BTW, that opening sentence did strike me as odd, even before I read the above comment on Talk. Thoughts? K.e.coffman (talk) 00:15, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Since my attempted change, I've seen at least two other people try to remove "Jewish" from the lead. So it looks like the current consensus is for the removal. In addition, Levine grew up and was educated in Germany, so he's as much a German as he's a Russian national, and not an 'outsider.' K.e.coffman (talk) 01:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Hitler's participation Fringe Theory Warning
There should be a discussion related to fringe theory warning applied to this section KhoikhoiPossum (talk) 21:46, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

There has been a lot of argument (or contradiction) about the following paragraph:

"Adolf Hitler himself acted as a liaison between his army battalion – he had been elected "deputy battalion representative" – and the Soviet's Department of Propaganda. Both film footage and a still photograph appear to show Hitler marching in Eisner's funeral procession.  He wears both a black mourning band and a red band showing support for the Far-Left Government.  It is uncertain whether this indicated that Hitler was a true supporter of the soviet, or that he was simply taking an available opportunity not to return to his impoverished pre-war civilian life. His choice may therefore have been a tactical one, rather than one of political belief. It is also known that once the government had fallen, Hitler aligned himself with the Weimar Republic and – as part of a three-person committee assigned to investigate the behavior of his regiment's soldiers – informed on those who had shown sympathy for the Far-Left Governments. "

I don't know anything about the reliability or respectability of the source cited. Can anybody help us? The editor who removes the paragraph says loudly,"Hitler was not a socialist." I agree but the party he led later on was called the National Socialist Party. It seems he wanted to attract socialists to his cause. The paragraph would tie in with this.but is it true.Spinney Hill (talk) 07:28, 22 May 2022 (UTC) .Spinisney Hill (talk) 07:30, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

The source cited is wrong. This is because Hitler was a FASCIST member of the FASCIST Nazi party and he WAS NOT a socialist. This myth persists because it benefits Republicans, Trump supporters and other fascists to discredit socialism by falsely associating Hitler with it. This is extremely dangerous and puts BIPOC people such as myself in even further danger from Fascists. The above paragraph must be removed and stay removed as it only contributes to this myth. Lending legitimacy to the idea Hitler was a socialist is no different to lending legitimacy to other fringe right wing beliefs like pizzagate and that Trump 'won' (HE DID NOT) the 2020 election.

The paragraph immediately above was not written by me so I have put my signature where it belongs. The editor above has not signed his contribution. He appears to be saying not that the source quoted is factually incorrect but morally wrong even if it is correct to use it. Please do not shout by using capitals. I am afraid I do not know what BIPOC means so I cannot comment on that. However this article is about an event which took place in Germany in the period immediately after the First World war. It certainly has an impact on German politics in the 1920s and 1930s but it is not about US politics in the 2020s. I take it the editor refers to the US Republican Party when he talks about "Republicans. " In Germany in 1919 republican meant not royal or imperialist. Spinney Hill (talk) 11:40, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I've validated the information, and it does appear that there is documented evidence of Hitler being part of the Bavarian Soviet Republic military before the formation of the Nazi party in Germany. There isn't any statement in the paragraph claiming that Hitler was a socialist, and it is presented in a neutral point of view, even stating that he may have been involved for other reasons. It seems the other contributor's concerns are directly related political reasons rather than the validity of the information. NilokHedge (talk) 17:18, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Changes to article
I've made two substantial changes to this article. The first is that I've removed as much of the contributions of the editor HenryGarden1000 as I could, since their edits are suspect - one particular one I removed the source did not support the claim made. Secondly, I've removed the material based on the writing of a single historian, Thomas Weber, which appears to me to be promoting WP:FRINGE theories which are not accepted by the community of historians.

I suggest that those who have a good amount of knowledge about this subject matter take a very close look at the article and continue to chip away at material which is not well-sourced, is fringy, or outright incorrect.

I'll post this on WikiProject Germany as well. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:14, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

La Terreur en Bavière
Many of the anecdotes in here, while seemingly coming from different sources, trace back to one book called "La Terreur en Bavière", published in 1922 without sources. It seems the majority of the extraordinary anecdotes come from this book (although it is very hard to tell as I cannot read French). It doesn't seem like this is a good source but I do not know enough about academic standard's in genral, and wikipedia's standards in particular to really dispute this. I would however suggest someone look into La Terreur en Bavière by Ambroise Got to see how legitimate of a source it is

German cross-examination needed
This article seems to be heavily relying on extremely shoddy English language scholarship derived from people with obvious bias (such as uncritically and directly citing Noske) to make wildly exagerated claims (which has been widely disseminated online). While I don't speak German, a brief view of the German page translated by Google does not reproduce annecdotes like attempting to abolish the study of history.

Vague anti-semitism in the "Ernst Toller government" section
The section about the government appointments under the Ernst Toller government after a statetment saying that

"Toller's government members were not always well-chosen."

contains the passage

"(...) and – in Catholic Bavaria, where nuns ran the schools – a Jew as minister for education."

I fail to see any connection between the minister being Jewish and their unability to run/reform a Catholic run education system other than an anti-semitic bias in the article. Kubaxent (talk) 17:39, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

 * "Toller's government members were not always well-chosen." is the topic sentence of the second paragraph. "...and – in Catholic Bavaria, where nuns ran the schools – a Jew as minister for education." is a part of the topic sentence of the third paragraph, which begins "Other Toller appointments included:..."
 * The emphasis is clearly on the fact that a Jew was chosen as the education minister despite Bavaria being majority Catholic and nuns running the state's schools. Ironically, an achievement for the Jewish people is being highlighted by the sentence you are misunderstanding as antisemitism, because you do not understand basic writing structure. Yue 🌙 03:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * By this logic I'm sure that saying "a burglar with a conviction for moral turpitude as police president of Munich" in the same paragraph is actually passing positive judgement on burglar and highlights their achievments in being able to run a police force.

Ford Forge

Ford Forge (Ford Mill), Northumberland, England is located on the River Till between the villages of Ford and Etal. Buildings housing a water-powered forge were constructed at this site by 1770. Throughout the nineteenth century the forge was used to manufacture shovels for Northumberland collieries. William Hutchinson, a contemporary author writing about Sir John Hussey Delaval's Ford estate which included Ford Forge, commented as follows. About a mile down the river, a Plating Forge was erected in 1769, where a large quantity of shovels, spades and other plate-iron works are made, as well for home consumption, as for exportation at the ports of Berwick, Newcastle, etc. The scheme, when carried to its intended extent, will be of great consequence to this part of the country.

North American Racing Team

The North American Racing Team (NART) is a motorsport racing team founded in 1958. It was created by businessman Luigi Chinetti to promote the Ferrari marque in North America through success in endurance racing.

It was created in 1958 when Chinetti received backing from wealthy racers George Arents, Jr and Jan de Vroom. Ferrari already had a close relationship with Chinetti due to his success in selling the maker's road cars in the important American markets, and thus NART received a continuous line of Ferrari racers and support from factory mechanics.

In racing
NART raced at only the world's premier races, such as the 24 Hours of Daytona in Florida and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in Le Mans, France. Their first race was the 12 Hours of Sebring in March 1958, with a 250 GT.

Pedro Rodríguez won the second and the third editions of Daytona with the NART team, both in a Ferrari 250 GTO. The 1963 event was a three hour race and the 1964 event was a 2,000 km race; the 24 hour race would start in 1966.

A Ferrari 158 car officially entered by NART sealed the win of the 1964 F1 World championship with John Surtees, as the works team competed the last two races (the United States Grand Prix and Mexican Grand Prix) in cars painted white with blue lengthwise "Cunningham racing stripes" - the national colours of the teams licensed in the United States. This was done as a protest concerning arguments between Ferrari and the Italian motorsport body ACI regarding the homologation of a new mid-engined Ferrari race car. Since the Ferrari cars entered in the and  F1 seasons by NART and at the 1966 Italian Grand Prix by the British privateer Reg Parnell team kept wearing the red colour, the 1964 Mexican Grand Prix was the last time Ferrari cars wore other than the traditional red colour (rosso corsa) in Formula One.

The peak of NART's own racing success came in 1965, when a NART-entered 250 LM driven by Jochen Rindt, Masten Gregory and Ed Hugus became the last Ferrari to win Le Mans until the AF Corse-entered 499P at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Other NART results include a third place in the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona with Pedro Rodríguez and Jean Guichet, backing up two works 330 P4 in Ferrari's triple success, which was commemorated by the naming of the 365 GTB4 "Daytona". With this model, NART scored second in the 1973 24 Hours of Daytona behind a Porsche 911.

NART raced Ferraris until 1982, at which point it had participated in more than 200 races with over 100 different drivers, including Mario Andretti and Phil Hill.

Road cars

NART also had a Ferrari model with its name attached to it – the 1967 275 GTB/4S NART Spyder was a convertible version of the 275 GTB/4 requested especially by Luigi Chinetti. The original order of 25 cars was never fulfilled, as only 10 were delivered from the Maranello factory. Because of the popularity of the drop-top NART Spyder design, many 275 GTB/4 were converted to drop-top models to imitate the NART Spyder's design.

Glitching

Glitching is an activity in which a person finds and exploits flaws or glitches in video games to achieve something that was not intended by the game designers. Players who engage in this practice are known as glitchers. Some glitches can be easily achieved, while others are either very difficult or unperformable by humans and can only be achieved with tool-assisted input. Glitches can vary greatly in the level of game manipulation, from setting a flag to writing and executing custom code from within the game.

Glitches may be found by accident or actively searched for. They require testing and experimentation by the player to be repeatable with some level of success. They can be achieved in many different ways, most often through user input from a game controller, but can also be assisted through hardware manipulation. The mechanics of some glitches are well-understood, due to having access to the game's code or knowing the properties being manipulated, while others are performable but the mechanic to it is unknown. Some glitches are not consistently performable due to uncontrollable factors, usually broadly referred to as random number generation (frequently called RNG).

Glitching is used in speedrunning and competitive gaming, as well as a tool to gain insight on a game's underlying technical mechanics and code. In some contexts, it is considered a form of cheating, and competitions may disallow certain glitches to allow for a more fair or entertaining experience. Many speedrunning communities create separate categories of runs that either restrict or allow use of certain glitches, giving speedrunners the freedom to choose the category that suits their interests or goals.

Overview
One of the most common glitches in video games is clipping, which is used to pass though a wall or barrier to access certain areas that would be inaccessible in normal gameplay. These areas could be out of bounds, when the player-character is in a place never intended by the game developers, or it could be used as a form of sequence breaking, as a means of accessing a region that is locked, such as entering a locked room without a key. Glitches that go out of bounds are mostly performed by either moving through walls or corners or jumping to places in the map that do not have invisible walls. In these areas, many maps have hollow objects that the player can venture through freely. These objects usually are in the distance and are for decoration, lacking any collision detection.

For example, in Tony Hawk's Underground 2, in the L.A. level there is a glitch that can allow players to leave the intended play area and pass through the background. The massively multiplayer online game Need for Speed: World also had a bug in the city Rockport, where the player can glitch into point Camden near the Bay Bridge. Clipping is exploited by speedrunners to engage in sequence breaking in games like Metroid Prime, which can cause them to behave abnormally especially if they have no code to address it. Players may fall into a bottomless pit by glitching through a wall if there is no ground collision. Such glitches can also allow players to go to areas that they are not supposed to go, such as entering beta areas in Grand Theft Auto IV by using a helicopter to clip through the ground and under the map.

Another common type of glitch is item manipulation, where a player can manipulate their inventory to get certain items. This can also be expanded to changing the player's health, magic power, inventory capacity, quest status, item durability, and so on. These manipulations are often not limited by the game's set boundaries, and allow the player to access glitched items. Players can obtain a very high amount of resources just by trying to acquire negative values for certain resource counters that are not coded to handle them. One example of this bug is in the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of FIFA 11, in which the game does not check for negative values for the player's currency counter, meaning that if a player cancels a loan and there is not enough currency available in the transfer budget, the currency counter will roll over back to the highest number, granting the player a large amount of wealth.

Glitches can also affect the physics of particular games, which can alter the state of gravity, movement speed, or even allow teleportation. A famous physics bug is found in Grand Theft Auto IV, in which a particular swingset can violently catapult anyone and anything that touches its chains or approaches its top bar for a great distance, due to coding flaws concerning the physics of the swing chains. Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto V also have a similar physics bug where approaching certain closed gates would cause the player character or vehicle to be launched into the sky for a great distance.

There are also glitches that do not require any action on the part of the player, such as a glitch in NCAA Football 11 which will cause the football game to run longer than the time indicated on the clock and, most often, indefinitely.

Such glitches can hurt the competitive atmosphere of online multiplayer games. For example, there have been reports that the online multiplayer mode of Transformers: War for Cybertron suffered from hacking and glitches that allow players to manipulate classes and stats through methods not normally available to regular players.

Memory manipulation and arbitrary code execution
An advanced form of glitching allows the player to access parts of the game's memory in order to change the state of gameplay. This can be done by executing movements and changing the positions of entities, sprites, or actors in a specific way that put particular memory addresses in an order that gives the player the ability to alter an aspect of the game, and can be expanded to giving the player the ability to execute custom code. This is possible in Super Mario World, where if the player causes entities such as Koopa shells, brick particles, and fireballs to despawn at certain coordinates, the memory will be read and executed as code. Another example of altering code is in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, where if the player locks the states of certain actors in memory by unloading them in a certain order, Link can pick up an item and his angle of rotation will be linked to a different memory address, such as the value that determine which boots he is wearing. If this is done correctly, the player could obtain a glitched version of boots called "F boots" that have no gravity at all, allowing Link to fly as far as desired.

In some instances, glitches are physically impossible for a human as they require inputs with frame-perfect accuracy and precision, or they may be simply impossible on a physical controller. Glitches like these often require pressing several buttons at 60 frames per second, potentially in complex combinations, or pressing both left and right on a D-pad. This is solved by using tools that automatically sends inputs to the game, such as a macro on an emulator.

Hardware manipulation
Some glitches can only occur by physically manipulating the hardware of the game system, such as ejecting a disc during gameplay or slightly tilting a cartridge out of position. A somewhat extreme example of hardware manipulation is, after noticing a certain glitch only seemed to work in the summer, Japanese speedrunner Hitshee discovered that heating his Famicom to a certain temperature caused a glitch in the save files for Dragon Quest III, and now keeps his console on a hot plate during speedruns.

Protestantenverein

The Protestantenverein (Allgemeiner Deutscher Protestantenverein or Deutscher Protestantenverein; DPV) was a society in Germany the general object of which was to promote the union (Verein) and progress of the various Protestant established Churches of the country in harmony with the advance of culture and on the basis of Christianity.

It was founded at Frankfurt am Main in 1863 by a number of distinguished clergymen and laymen of liberal tendencies, representing the freer parties of the Lutheran and Reformed Churches of the various German states, amongst whom were the statesmen Bluntschli and von Bennigsen and the professors Richard Rothe, Heinrich Ewald, D. Schenkel, A. Hilgenfeld and F. Hitzig.

The more special objects of the association are the following: the development of the Churches on the basis of a representative parochial and synodal system of government in which the laity shall enjoy their full rights; the promotion of a federation of all the Churches in one national Church; resistance to all hierarchical tendencies both within and without the Protestant Churches; the promotion of Christian toleration and mutual respect amongst the various confessions; the rousing and nurture of the Christian life and of all Christian works necessary for the moral strength and prosperity of the nation. These objects include opposition to the claims of Rome and to autocratic interference with the Church on the part of either political or ecclesiastical authorities, efforts to induce the laity to claim and exercise their privileges as members of the Church, the assertion of the right of the clergy, laity and both lay and clerical professors to search for and proclaim freely the truth in independence of the creeds and the letter of Scripture.

Membership in the association is open to all Germans who are Protestants and declare their willingness to co-operate in promoting its objects. The means used to promote these objects are mainly (I) the formation of local branch associations throughout the country, the duty of which is by lectures, meetings and the distribution of suitable literature to make known and advocate its principles, and (2) the holding of great annual or biennial meetings of the whole association, at which its objects and principles are expounded and applied to the circumstances of the Church at the moment. The theses accepted by the general meetings of the association as the result of the discussions on the papers read indicate the theological position of its members.

The following may serve as illustrations: The creeds of the Protestant Church shut the doors on the past only, but open them for advance in the future; it is immoral and contrary to true Protestantism to require subscription to them. The limits of the freedom of teaching are not prescribed by the letter of Scripture, but a fundamental requirement of Protestantism is free inquiry in and about the Scriptures. The attempt to limit the freedom of theological inquiry and teaching in the universities is a violation of the vital principle of Protestantism. Only such conceptions of the person of Jesus can satisfy the religious necessities of this age as fully recognise the idea of his humanity and place in history. The higher reason only has unconditional authority, and the Bible must justify itself before its tribunal; we find the history of divine revelation and its fulfilment in the Bible alone, and reason bids us regard the Bible as the only authority and canon in matters of religious belief.

The formation of the association at once provoked fierce and determined opposition on the part of the orthodox sections of the Church, particularly in Berlin. Attempts more or less successful have been made from the first to exclude clergymen and professors identified with it from the pulpits and chairs of Berlin and elsewhere, though membership in it involves no legal disqualification for either. One of the objects of the association was to some extent obtained by their organisation of the Evangelical State Church in Prussia when Dr Falk was Prussian cultus minister, on the basis of parochial and synodal representation, which came into full operation in 1879. But the election for the general synod turned out very unfavourable to the liberal party, and the large orthodox majority endeavoured to use their power against the principles and the members of the association.

In 1882 the position of the association was rendered still more difficult by the agitation in Berlin of Dr Kalthoff and other members of it in favour of a people's church on purely dissenting and extremely advanced theological principles. This difficulty has continued, and the extreme rationalist position taken up by some leaders has alienated the sympathy not only of the obscurantists but of those who were prepared to go some distance in the direction of a liberal theology. There are now about 25,000 members in the 20 branches of the Verein.

Barbara Budd

Barbara Budd (born May 23, 1951) is a Canadian actress, narrator and radio announcer. Between 1993 and April 30, 2010, she was the co-host of CBC Radio One's As It Happens.

Early life
Budd was born in St. Catharines, Ontario. She studied theatre performance at York University and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1974.

Career
Budd worked for five seasons as a company member at Canada's Stratford Festival under Robin Phillips (1975–1980), most notably playing Cathleen in a 1977 production of Long Day's Journey into Night and Emilia in a 1979 production of Othello.

She continued to act for other theatre companies, and had minor film roles, in the 1980s before joining CBC Radio, for whom she worked as a continuity announcer and substitute host, as well as an occasional guest performer on Royal Canadian Air Farce. Three of her guest appearances with Air Farce appear on the troupe's 1990 album To Air Is Human, To Farce Divine. In one of her most famous sketches with Air Farce, a businessman befuddled by the complexities of the new GST calls the government's information line; Budd plays the customer service representative, who answers his tax questions in the steamy and seductive tone of a phone sex operator.

She joined As It Happens, succeeding Alan Maitland, in 1993.

She has also done voice work on animations including shows such as RoboCop: The Animated Series, Dinosaucers, Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends, Stunt Dawgs, Babar, The New Archies, Rupert, Little Shop, Blazing Dragons, Stickin' Around, The Adventures of Tintin, Ultraforce, Pippi Longstocking, Bob and Margaret, and Little Rosey, and provided the voice of "Skyress" on Bakugan Battle Brawlers.

She continues to narrate documentary films, recordings, and classical music concerts.

On the March 29, 2010 episode of As It Happens she announced that she would be leaving the show on April 30 as CBC had elected not to renew her contract, and asked listeners to send her a photo so she could "put a face to the ears". She subsequently revealed that she was never a permanent employee of CBC Radio, but spent her entire tenure with the network as a freelance contractor.

Since departing CBC Radio, Budd has returned to Stratford, Ontario, where in addition to her ongoing work as host, moderating panel discussions and appearing as a guest speaker, she is writing a book.

Awards
In 2009, Budd received the Bryden Award by York University as an alumnus who has attained extraordinary achievements and made remarkable contributions to York. Budd received ACTRA's John Drainie Award in 2011 for her distinguished contribution to Canadian broadcasting.

Protogenes

Protogenes (Πρωτογένης; fl. 4th century BC) was an ancient Greek painter, a contemporary rival of Apelles. As with the other famous ancient Greek painters, none of his work has survived, and it is known only from literary references and (brief) descriptions.

Biography
Protogenes was born in Caunus, on the coast of Caria but resided in Rhodes during the latter half of the 4th century BC. He was celebrated for the minute and laborious finish which he bestowed on his pictures, both in drawing and in color. Apelles, his great rival, standing astonished in presence of one of these works, could console himself only by saying that it was wanting in charm.

Pliny the Elder, in his Natural History, relates the story of a contest between Apelles and Protogenes: 'Apelles sailed [to Rhodes], eager to see the works of a man known to him only by reputation, and on his arrival immediately repaired to the studio. Protogenes was not at home, but a solitary old woman was keeping watch over a large panel placed on the easel. In answer to the questions of Apelles, she said that Protogenes was out and asked the name of the visitor. "Here it is," said Apelles, and snatching up a brush he drew a line of extreme delicacy across the board. On the return of Protogenes, the old woman told him what had happened. When he had considered the delicate precision of the line he at once declared that his visitor had been Apelles, for no one else could have drawn anything so perfect. Then in another colour he drew a second still finer line upon the first, and went away, bidding her show it to Apelles if he came again, and add that this was the man he was seeking. It fell out as he expected; Apelles did return, and, ashamed to be beaten, drew a third line of another colour cutting the two first down their length and leaving no room for any further refinement. Protogenes owned himself beaten and hurried down to the harbour to find his visitor; they agreed to hand down the painting just as it was to posterity, a marvel to all, but especially to artists.' This panel was seen by Pliny (N.H. xxxv. 83) in Rome, where it was much admired, and where it perished by fire.

On one picture, the Ialysus, he spent seven years; on another, the Satyr, he worked continuously during the siege of Rhodes by Demetrius Poliorcetes (305-304 BC) notwithstanding that the garden in which he painted was in the middle of the enemy's camp. Demetrius, unsolicited, took measures for his safety. When told that the Ialysus just mentioned was in a part of the town exposed to assault, Demetrius even changed his plan of operations. Ialysus was a local hero, the founder of the town of the same name in the island of Rhodes, and probably was represented as a huntsman. This picture was still in Rhodes in the time of Cicero but was afterwards removed to Rome, where it perished in the burning of the Temple of Peace.

The picture painted during the siege of Rhodes consisted of a satyr leaning idly against a pillar on which was a figure of a partridge, so lifelike that ordinary spectators saw nothing but it. Enraged on that account, the painter wiped out the partridge. The Satyr must have been one of his last works. He would then have been about seventy years of age and had enjoyed for about twenty years a reputation next only to that of Apelles, his friend and benefactor.

In the gallery of the Propylaea at Athens was to be seen a panel by Protogenes. The subject consisted of two figures representing personifications of the coast of Attica, Paralus and Hammonias. For the council chamber at Athens, he painted figures of the Thesmothetae, but in what form or character is not known. Probably, they were executed in Athens, and it may have been then that he met Aristotle, who recommended him to take for subjects the deeds of Alexander the Great. In his Alexander and Pan, he may have followed that advice in the idealizing spirit to which he was accustomed.

To this spirit must be traced also his Cydippe and Tlepolemus, legendary personages of Rhodes. Among his portraits are mentioned those of the mother of Aristotle, Philiscus of Corcyra the tragic poet, and King Antigonus. However, Protogenes was also a sculptor to some extent, and made several bronze statues of athletes, armed figures, huntsmen and persons in the act of offering sacrifices.

Philosophy
First and foremost, I believe that Wikipedia is in an extreme need for cleaning up. This includes things such as editing, categorization, polishing articles so that they are in a presentable and readable state, etc. Edits include grammar edits, spelling corrections, capitalization, syntax, and other corrections that make articles in following with standard English.

Second of all, Wikipedians: Watch what you do on this website! Do not make it hard for other fellow editors by having them clean up something they have not made! Please clean up your own mess!

Manual of Style (dates)
Hi, I'd like to encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Manual of Style (dates) before you change the way dates are formatted and linked in articles, as you recently did to E (mathematical constant). Some relevant aspects of the guideline include: (1) We don't usually link bare years unless there is a good reason to do so; (2) The reason we link full dates, such as May 31, 2008 is because the MediaWiki software is able to automatically format the date based on user preferences. siℓℓy rabbit (  talk  ) 15:39, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Pine View School for the Gifted

Pine View School for the Gifted, or simply known as Pine View School, is a public, college-preparatory, coeducational school located in Osprey, Florida. Pine View serves students from 2nd through 12th grades.

History
In 1969, the school was founded as the state's first school for the intellectually gifted. The first director was John D. Woolever, an educator who had written numerous scholarly articles on education throughout his career. During the school's early history, many feared it would be closed, particularly when the school moved to its current campus, designed by Carl Abbott, FAIA, in 1994. In 2007-2008, the Florida State Legislature considered abolishing the Exceptional Student Educational (ESE) label "gifted." On this occasion, Pine View was included in a statewide comprehensive policy assessment completed by the Florida Legislature's Office of Program Policy Analysis & Government Accountability (OPPAGA), which determined that gifted programs were thriving and that the ESE label "gifted" had more advantages than disadvantages.

Steve Largo served as the principal from 1988-2013 and led the school to the top of U.S. News and World Reports ranking for the State of Florida on academic achievement year after year. At the end of the 2012–2013 school year, Steve Largo, Pine View's principal of 25 years, retired and Sarasota County published a decree that February 12 was "Steven Largo Day" in reference to Largo's motivational motto on water boiling point at 212 degree. Dr. Stephen Covert took Largo's place as Pine View principal on July 1, 2013.

In 2022, the class president's graduation speech went viral on social media and received national attention. After being told by the school principal that he could not mention LGBTQ rights in his speech, the class president instead euphemistically referred to his "curly hair" and thanked his classmates for their support.

Nation rankings
During the 2003–2004 school year, Pine View School was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive.

In 2014 Pine View was ranked the number one school in Florida and the sixth-best school in the Country. In 2013, Pine View was ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the sixth-best public high school in the nation. The previous year, Newsweek ranked Pine View the 15th best public high school in the nation. Out of public and private schools, Pine View was rated the 6th best high school in the nation in 2007, 11th in 2008, 14th in 2009, 30th in 2012, and 6th in 2013 by U.S. News. Due to its average SAT score of 1335 for 2005, the school was listed among Newsweek magazine's 21 Public Elite American high schools. It was the only Public Elite school in Florida. Pine View's U.S. News & World Report 2012 national ranking was called into question when it seemed the ranking was significantly deflated when U.S. News calculated Pine View's 8th grade students as high school students who did not participate in Advanced Placement courses (a significant factor in its methodology) and incorrectly factored Pine View's AP pass rate.

In 2019 Pine View School was ranked No. 15 in National Rankings, No. 8 in Magnet High Schools and No. 23 in STEM High Schools.

State rankings
In 2012, the Florida Department of Education ranked Pine View as the best Florida school that combined high school students with other grade levels. The ranking was produced by crunching state and national test data. In the same year, Pine View was ranked by Newsweek as the 4th best high school in Florida. U.S. News & World Report ranked Pine View the best high school in Florida, based on its 2013 national ranking. In 2009, Pine View was rated America's Best High School for Florida by Bloomberg Businessweek.

Admission requirements
As a full-time gifted program, Pine View maintains selective entrance requirements. Students may be referred for admission by administrators, teachers, staff members, or parents. Prospective students are admitted based on the gifted identification standards that are required by the Florida Department of Education. Since other Sarasota County district schools house gifted programs, an important part of admission is considering if Pine View's program best meets the student's educational needs. At Pine View, students must enroll at the beginning of each school year. Other district gifted programs enroll students during the school year.

Curriculum
Pine View's curriculum emphasizes rigor, differentiated instruction, and, in high school, students' academic self-determination. In elementary and middle school, students take classes that are accelerated and go more in-depth than topically similar courses at other schools. Students begin to rotate teachers and classrooms beginning in 4th grade. Starting in 6th grade, students are placed in different levels in math based on a standardized test administered at the end of 5th grade. Students can begin to choose some of their course load beginning in 7th grade and continuing throughout high school.

At the beginning of high school, students create their own individual four-year academic plans, which they refine and revise as the years progress. This differentiated instruction results in a variety of math, English, science, social science, and foreign language levels being offered to students in the same grade. The substantial elective selection allows students access to breadth and depth of their interests. By the 11th grade, students exercise significant autonomy over their schedules. Students largely build their own curriculum, subject to the approval of their teachers and administrators.

Most high school courses are offered as honors (except where Florida statute prohibits the designations, such as in foreign language classes) and/or Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Students can start taking AP classes, the centerpiece of the Pine View curriculum, beginning in ninth grade. Dual Enrollment (DE) classes are also offered on campus to high school students.

Tsunami Bomb

Tsunami Bomb is an American punk rock band from Petaluma, California. They were formed in 1998 by bassist Dominic Davi, with keyboardist/vocalist Oobliette Sparks and later joined by drummer Gabe Lindeman. With vocalist Emily Whitehurst aka "Agent M" they would become a staple of Warped Tour and toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan, going through a number of lineup changes until they disbanded in 2005 after releasing two full length albums and a number of EP's. In 2015 the band reformed with new vocalist Kate Jacobi and later guitarist Andy Pohl and has remained active since, touring and appearing on a variety of festivals.

Formation and early years (1998-2001)
The band was started by bassist Dominic Davi, who enlisted Oobliette Sparks on keyboard who would also contribute vocals and Kristin McRory as Tsunami Bomb's original main vocalist after they left the band, Headboard in February 1998. Davi met McRory in late 1997, when she joined Headboard on vocals and had known Sparks from hanging out together at The Phoenix Theater in Petaluma. Sparks had recently left the local Petaluma band, Spacebaby that she had been in with drummer Gabe Lindeman. Calling in favors and using fill-in musicians to round out the line up, Tsunami Bomb played its first show on June 26, 1998, at the Fatty Mocha in Merced, CA with the band Luckie Strike, playing the Phoenix Theater together the next day. Gabriel Lindeman played drums for the band's first few shows, but he did not join the band full-time until 1999. Kristin McRory left Tsunami Bomb in late 1998, and Davi recruited Emily Whitehurst shortly thereafter (Emily's brother, Logan Whitehurst was Davi's roommate at the time). To add mystique and give her a more iconic presence, Davi created the moniker "Agent M" for her to use in the band. Whitehurst was credited as Agent M almost exclusively until the breakup of the band.

Tsunami Bomb maintained a grueling tour schedule for most of its existence. In 1999 they released two limited edition 7" singles: B-Movie Queens was a split with Emily Whitehurst and Brian Plink's former band Plinky; Mayhem On The High Seas was released on Checkmate Records which was owned by Hunter Burgan, bassist for AFI. In 2000 they signed to Tomato Head Records and released their first CD EP The Invasion from Within! and guitarist Brian Plink would leave the group with his last show being the album release show at the Phoenix Theater. Keyboardist Oobliette Sparks would leave the group the following year in 2001, and not being able to replace her, the band would continue without keyboards.

The Ultimate Escape (2002–2003)
In 2002 they signed with Kung Fu Records, and released their first full-length album The Ultimate Escape. Tsunami Bomb would appear on the Warped Tour several times between 2001 and 2005. They have also toured Europe and Japan. Originally being booked by Dan Garcia at Royal Flush Booking, Tsunami Bomb had several tours including main support for the Vandals.

The title song from their first CD release, The Invasion from Within!, was used in Atlus USA's translation of the Nippon Ichi Software strategy RPG Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. Atlus also used the song Russian Roulette from the band's first full-length album The Ultimate Escape in their collaboration with Spumco animation studios, a cartoon skateboarding game called Go! Go! Hypergrind.

In 2003, a decision led to Tsunami Bomb's Dominic Davi being pushed out of the group. The remaining band members cited "personality and creative conflicts." He would go on to form the musical group Love Equals Death on Fat Wreck Chords. He was replaced by Matt McKenzie. Controversy surrounded the split with founding member Davi, long cited as being one of the main songwriters for the band. Also in 2003, the album The Rocky Horror Punk Rock Show was released and featured the band's cover of the popular Rocky Horror Picture Show song "Planet, Schmanet, Janet" that had been recorded years earlier. Later that same year, after a split with Royal Flush Booking, the band signed with the William Morris Agency with Ron Opeleski. The band then launched a full US headlining tour which sold out venues such as the Metro in Chicago, two nights at Slim's in San Francisco, and three nights at the Troubadour in L.A. They also played main support for the Bouncing Souls on a world tour.

The Definitive Act and break-up (2004–2005)
In 2004, Tsunami Bomb released the album The Definitive Act and a live concert DVD entitled Live at the Glasshouse from the live music DVD series The Show Must Go Off! in 2005. Both were released on Kung Fu Records. In late 2005, after years of touring and numerous line-up changes Tsunami Bomb officially broke up, citing their problems with the "business end of the music industry".

On January 17, 2009, Tsunami Bomb performed a reunion show in their hometown of Petaluma at the Phoenix Theater as a benefit for their friend Liz Beidelman the drummer for the band Luckie Strike who was fighting brain cancer.

Reunion (2015–2017)
In 2015, original members Oobliette, Davi, Brian Plink and Gabriel Lindeman reunited Tsunami Bomb along with Kate Jacobi, who would replace Emily Whitehurst on vocals. Whitehurst declined to rejoin Tsunami Bomb, choosing to focus on her own project, Survival Guide. The band performed their first show under their newly formed line-up on December 19, 2015. They released their rarities collection LP called Trust No One on January 29, 2016.

That following summer Brian Plink would step away from the band citing "health issues" and Chris LaForge, guitarist for 30 Foot Fall who was promoting some of the band's Texas performances stepped in to fill in on guitar last minute. LaForge would continue to fill in on guitar the rest of that year and performed with the band on a number of tours and festivals including the Northwest dates of the Vans Warped Tour on August 12 and 13, 2016, until the band found a more permanent guitarist at the end of 2016. Chris LaForge passed away unexpectedly on May 29, 2017, and the band was deeply affected by his loss, with members posting tributes to his memory on their website and social media pages.

On July 13, 2017, the band began a short Northeast US trip with three shows in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Long Branch, New Jersey; and Brooklyn, New York. At Kung Fu Necktie, in Philly, the band debuted new guitarist Andy Pohl, as well as two never-heard-before songs "Tidal Wave Explosive Device" and "Lullaby for the End of the World" that were intended for a new album.

On November 15, 2017, Rolling Stone named "The Ultimate Escape" #31 on their Top 50 Pop-Punk Albums of all time.

The Spine That Binds (2018–2021)
Tsunami Bomb released two new tracks to members of their street team, the Tsunami Bomb Squad on September 7, 2018. The two tracks "Lullaby For The End Of The World" and "Naysayers" were released to the public as a digital single on October 5, 2018, and were samples from their upcoming album. On March 12, 2019, it was announced the new full length would be released on Alternative Tentacles Records after Jello Biafra insisted he be sent the demos, and despite the band believing he wouldn't like their music, he did and licensed the record immediately.

Tsunami Bomb would continue headlining concerts around the United States rebuilding their following, performing short runs of shows rather than the grueling tour schedule they were once known for. Kung Fu Records and Cleopatra Records would partner to reissue all of the previous discography on vinyl. On August 24, 2018 The Ultimate Escape was released on limited red vinyl, with The Definitive Act being released on limited white vinyl on March 12, 2019. Reissues sold out quickly since The Definitive Act never previously being released on vinyl and The Ultimate Escape only having a limited picture disc vinyl at the time of the original release. Both albums have been kept in circulation with continued repressing since.

The band returned to the Vans Warped Tour one last time on July 21, 2019, to celebrate the Vans 25th Anniversary Celebration at Mountain View, CA at the Shoreline Amphitheater. Band members stated onstage how much Warped Tour had meant to them and what it had done for the band's career.

On September 18, 2019 Brooklyn Vegan streamed the track "The Hathors" off of the album The Spine That Binds, as well as announcing they would be headlining day 1 of Alternative Tentacles Records' first ever 'Tentacle Fest: Celebrating 40 Years Of Alternative Tentacles' in Berkeley, CA on November 22.

Tsunami Bomb released a cover of "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo for Cleopatra Records Halloween themed compilation ''Punk Rock Halloween 2: Louder, Faster, & Scarier on October 11, 2019.

On October 16, 2019 Kerrang! Magazine's website streamed the track "Petaluma" from The Spine That Binds. Alternative Press debuted the band's first new music video in years, "Naysayers" from "The Spine That Binds".

On November 1, 2019, Tsunami Bomb released a minor key cover of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" for Cleopatra Records special Christmas themed compilation ''Punk Rock Christmas 2. ''

"The Spine That Binds" was released on Friday, November 8, 2019, on Alternative Tentacles Records. ThePopBreak.com stated "The Spine That Binds is the perfect follow up to The Definitive Act. It’s an album that doesn’t sound like 15 years have passed yet paradoxically is an album that the band couldn’t have put out 15 years ago." The band was able to play a handful of shows in support of the album, such as The Fest 18 and Alternative Tentacles Records Tentacle Fest, as well as a south west tour with Death By Stereo in January 2020, before all touring was canceled due to the pandemic shut down.

On November 8, 2020 Cleopatra Records released a two song digital single featuring a cover of Hall & Oates track "Out Of Touch" for an upcoming Yacht Rock compilation. The second song was the cover of "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo that originally appeared on the Punk Rock Halloween 2: Louder, Faster, & Scarier in 2019.

Alternative Tentacles Records announced on September 18, 2020, that Tsunami Bomb would release a 4 song 7" called Still Standing. Featuring new recordings of "Irish Boys", that was previously only available as a 4-track recording, and "El Diablo", featuring the original keyboard parts by Oobliette Sparks it was written with on Side A, with bootleg live recordings of "Take The Reins" and "Lemonade" from a show in New York in 2019 on Side B. The 7" was originally an exclusive release on pink and blue splatter vinyl for the bands street team, "The Bomb Squad" which could only be bought from a password protected store, but after Jello Biafra heard the songs, he demanded they release a version for Alternative Tentacles Records. The Alternative Tentacles version of the 7" was released on January 22, 2021.

On June 15, 2021 Kung Fu Records announced the pre-order for a new 7" collecting the two cover songs Tsunami Bomb did for Cleopatra Records, 2019's cover of "Dead Man's Party" and 2020's cover of "Out Of Touch". The 2 song 7" was available on both purple and blue vinyl and featured a cover drawn by bassist, Dominic Davi. The 7" will be released on June 25, 2021.

The music news website Punknews.org streamed Tsunami Bomb's cover of the Fugazi track "Walken's Syndrome" on August 6, 2021. The song was the lead off single from the compilation, "Silence Is A Dangerous Sound" being released by the Scotland based Ripcord Records to benefit the Scotland Tribal Animal Sanctuary. Guitarist Andy Pohl stated, "Fugazi is a band that we not only admire musically, but as professional musicians and human beings. We chose "Walken's Syndrome" because it's got a lot of energy, and a bit of that dark vibe to it that we felt would compliment [sic] our style and would allow us to pay tribute to them in a way that made the most sense. We had such a great time working on this song, and are grateful for the opportunity to contribute for such a great cause."

2022-Present
On April 7, 2022, bassist Dominic Davi suffered a stroke and had to be airlifted to nearby hospital in the San Francisco Bay Area. On April 9, 2022, the band released a statement on their social media and their website confirming that he had been released from the hospital and was recovering.

On April 13 The Fest announced that Tsunami Bomb would be performing at the 20th iteration of The Fest in Gainesville, Fl on October 28-30th 2022. In the band's own announcement, they indicated they expected Davi to be able to perform, and was continuing to make positive progress but they would keep everyone updated on his condition.
