Heckler & Koch VP70

The VP70 is a 9×19mm, 18-round, double action only, semi-automatic/three-round burst capable polymer frame pistol manufactured by German arms firm Heckler & Koch GmbH. VP stands for Volkspistole (literally "People's Pistol"), and the designation 70 was for the first year of production, 1970.

Design
The VP70 combined a number of design features that were innovative, or at least very unusual for its time:
 * It was the first polymer-framed handgun, predating the Glock 17 by 12 years. At 820 g unloaded, the weapon is lighter than most metal framed pistols of the time.
 * It has a double-stack, double-feed magazine; double-feed magazines are uncommon for pistols even today. These magazines hold 18 rounds, a rather high capacity for its original production time.
 * As on the Mauser C96 and the Lahti L35, the stock was designed to be used as a holster when not mounted. On the military version of the VP70 this combination includes a unique feature: when mounted, a selective-fire switch, located on the stock, allows switching the weapon to a three-round-burst mode, with a 2,200 rounds per minute cyclic rate of fire.
 * The VP70 uses a spring-loaded striker like a Glock, instead of a conventional hammer.
 * It is double-action only, so the trigger pull is relatively heavy.
 * In lieu of a blade front sight, the VP70 uses a polished ramp with a central notch in the middle to provide the illusion of a dark front post.
 * The barrel has very deeply cut rifling; this was done to purposely vent gas past the bullet, placing less gas pressure on the slide, a critical part of the VP70's direct blowback function. This also results in slightly reduced bullet velocity when compared to other pistols with similar, or even slightly shorter barrel length.

Variants
The handgun comes in two varieties. The "M" (Militär, military) variant is selective-fire (semi-auto/three-round bursts), the "Z" (Zivil, civilian) variant is a semi-automatic-only version. The VP70Z has no provision to attach the stock, and also lacks the internal mechanical parts required for the burst-fire function even if the stock was attached. The VP70Z also has a crossbolt safety right behind the trigger; on the VP70M this is replaced with a non-functional plug, relying only on the heavy double-action trigger for safety.

Four hundred VP70Zs were made in 9×21mm IMI; these samples were made primarily for the civilian market of Italy, where the use of the 9×19mm Parabellum was at the time permitted only to military and law enforcement agencies. All of the VP70Z pistols sold to Italy had the provision to mount the stock, but still lacked the three-round-burst firing capability.

Tianjin Binhai International Airport

Tianjin Binhai International Airport is an international airport serving Tianjin, the municipality in North China. It is one of the major air cargo centers in the People's Republic of China.

It is the hub airport for Tianjin Airlines, established in 2004, and privately owned Okay Airways, as well as a focus city for Air China.

In 2017, Tianjin Binhai International Airport handled 21,005,001 passengers, a growth of 24.5% over 2016, making it the 19th busiest airport in China.

The airport is also the site of the Airbus A320 final assembly line which started operations in 2008, and Airbus A330 Completion and Delivery Center which was completed by the end of 2017.

In 2018, Hainan Airlines started operating flights to Vancouver, making it the first intercontinental route serving the airport. However, the route was terminated in January 2019.

Development of the airport
Before 2005, commercial flights were handles in what is now the airport's cargo terminal. In 2006, a larger terminal was built and is now the passenger terminal. A huge expansion was made to the passenger terminal around 2010 to accommodate more passengers. It has 47 jet bridges and is one of the largest airports in China. It is located in a state-of-the-art terminal building, which is more than three times bigger than the previous terminal, at 116,000 m2. When the three construction phases are completed, the airport terminal will be over 500,000 m2 and will be able to handle 40 million passengers per year. Over the period of the project the airport site will enlarge from the current 25 km2 to 80 km2. The airport as a whole will resemble Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport in size and will be able to handle over 500,000 tons of cargo and 200,000 flights per year.

The expansion, with a total investment of nearly ¥3 billion (US$409.5 million), widened the runway to 75 m (from previous 50 m), and lengthened it to 3,600 m. In May 2009, the airport also completed the construction of a second runway, with the expected number of passengers exceeding ten million.

Tianjin Airlines is headquartered in the terminal.

On 28 August 2014, Tianjin Binhai International Airport Terminal 2 came into use. The second floor is used as an arrivals hall, while the first floor is a departure hall. Underground, on level B1, there is a public transport hub, used to connect the airport terminal to various methods of public transportation. This includes a subway station level, a transfer hall and an underground parking lot. Terminal 2 is connected to subway line number 2, meaning that passengers can get to the terminal straight from Tianjin railway station.

Statistics
In 2008, the airport handled 166,558 tonnes of freight, and became the 11th busiest airport in China. Tianjin Airport is also among the fastest-growing airports in China, registering a 20.2% increase by passenger traffic and a 33.2% increase in terms of cargo traffic in 2008.

Ground transportation
The Airport is served by Binhai International Airport Station on Line 2 of the Tianjin Metro since the station's opening on 28 August 2014. The metro fare to downtown is ¥3.

Gaz Coombes

Gareth Michael "Gaz" Coombes (born 8 March 1976) is an English musician, best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist of the alternative rock band Supergrass. He first entered the music scene aged 14 as the lead singer of the band The Jennifers which featured Supergrass bandmate Danny Goffey.

Early life
Born on 8 March 1976, Coombes is the son of Eileen and John Coombes. His father was a food scientist, who enjoyed playing jazz piano, and his mother was an English teacher. Although he was born in England, he lived with his family in San Francisco, California, from around the age of 5 up until the age of 9, at which point in 1985 they returned to his birthplace in Oxford.

Coombes played classical piano at this age, but gradually moved on to an interest in playing guitar. He began to attend Wheatley Park School in Holton, Oxfordshire, but found himself being picked on for being 'girly'. His elder brother Rob was friends with Nic Goffey at the time, and one day on the school's playing fields a 13-year-old Gaz Coombes met and befriended Nic's younger brother, 15-year-old Danny Goffey. Danny Goffey was two years older than Coombes and helped to "protect him" from being teased. Goffey recounts what happened; "I mean, you couldn't fucking miss him. He was gorgeous. He grew sideburns and they [other pupils] gave him loads of shit, but I was really into him. I think I fancied him a bit, y'know? He's really beautiful. He wasn't very mature at that age. He was like a kid. I just went up to him and asked him to form a band. I could. I was a drummer. The tallest drummer in the school."

1990–1993: The Jennifers
Coombes first entered the music world at age 14 as the lead singer of the band The Jennifers. They recorded their demo at Stargoat, Banbury, released April 1991 a month after Gaz turned 15. The band undertook a nationwide tour before Coombes was fifteen. When they signed for their first recording contract with Nude Records, Coombes was under 18 at the time and so had to have his mother sign the contract for him.

"There were a couple of ridiculous, punky, joke songs – "Harvey The Accountant" and "The Girl with the Removable Face". That one went: "The girl with the removable face/She didn't have much of a life/All the boys used to pull it off/And use it as a frisbee." Most of them were in that vein. Actually, we haven't changed much." says Coombes about some Jennifers songs.

The Jennifers released "Just Got Back Today" on Nude Records in 1992 before they disbanded.

After the mild success experienced by The Jennifers, but still living with his parents, Coombes got a job at the local Harvester. He would take old Jennifers demos and play them over the restaurant's PA system before it opened, and this eventually led to him meeting Mick Quinn, a co-worker who played bass guitar and shared his musical tastes. With Danny Goffey they began to practice at Quinn's house, and Supergrass was formed shortly thereafter.

1993–2010: Supergrass
In 1993 after The Jennifers disbanded, Coombes, Goffey and Quinn formed Supergrass. In 2002 Coombes's brother keyboardist Rob Coombes officially joined the band. Before that he was studying for an Astrophysics degree at Cardiff University. The band released six studio albums in their 17 years together, each of them entering the UK top 20: I Should Coco (1995), In It for the Money (1997), Supergrass (1999), Life on Other Planets (2002), Road to Rouen (2005) and Diamond Hoo Ha (2008). They also released a singles compilation Supergrass Is 10 (2004), commemorating the first decade of the band's life.

During the height of Supergrass's fame, around 1995, Coombes received offers from Vogue Italia and Calvin Klein to model for them in their ad campaigns and magazine publications, as well as an offer from Steven Spielberg to make a Monkees-style TV show of the band. Coombes however, along with the rest of the band, declined these offers, saying; "Yes, we probably would have been face down in a pool if we'd said yes to all that. I mean, our heads would have returned to our shoulders at some point, but... it felt like cheating. Too easy. Short cut. Y'know? If you have to do all that to be the biggest band in the world then... then what does that say about your music? And all that... [the publicity offers] would have just got in the way of the music. It would have taken so long to get to grips with. We'd have lost years."

In 1999, Coombes made an appearance on the "Da Ali G Show" and played the Supergrass song "Sun Hits the Sky", whilst having to deal with Ali G 'remixing' it as he performed. "I tried to take the mickey out of his goatee, and he came back with: "So, you are looking like a monkey..." But if you go on his show, you know what you're letting yourself in for."

Coombes appeared on The Annex on RTÉ 2fm with Jenny Huston alongside Goffey before Supergrass took the stage at Malahide Castle in Dublin, Ireland to support Arctic Monkeys on 16 June 2007.

On 12 April 2010, Coombes and the rest of Supergrass announced that the band was to split after seventeen years. Musical differences were cited as the reason. They played four farewell concerts before the split. Their seventh album Release the Drones remains unfinished and unreleased.

2010–present: Solo career
Coombes announced on 28 October in The Hotrats and Supergrass Facebook page that he was working on his first solo album, recorded at his studio in Oxford with producer Sam Williams, and claimed that the record was on its final stages, planned to release it in 2011. He played most of the instruments on the record.

Coombes starred in an advert for the Toyota Yaris where he plays himself and encounters a fan who wants a picture with him. The Supergrass single "Pumping on Your Stereo" also appears in the advert.

Coombes appeared on and produced the single "Wonderful" by Little Fish, which was released in October 2011. In December 2011, Coombes performed his first solo shows at The Rotunda in Oxford and released his debut solo single "Hot Fruit" on 14 March 2012. His debut album, Here Come the Bombs was released shortly after and was well received by critics and fans alike.

In May 2014, Coombes recorded a cover version of The Kinks' song "This Time Tomorrow" for a television advertisement for the UK department store, John Lewis. The song was subsequently released as a digital single on the Caroline International label.

Coombes's second solo album, Matador, was released on 26 January 2015. The album debuted at number 18 in the Official UK Album chart and was also nominated for a Mercury Prize and an Ivor Novello award.

On 24 June 2016, Coombes supported The Last Shadow Puppets (featuring Arctic Monkeys' front man, Alex Turner, and Miles Kane) at Bristol Summer Series.

On 10 January 2018, Coombes announced his third solo album, World's Strongest Man would be released in May. The announcement was accompanied by the launch of the single "Deep Pockets".

Personal life
Coombes originally lived in Wheatley, then at 345 Cowley Road, East Oxford. He moved to a Regency townhouse in Brighton, East Sussex, which he first purchased in 1999, with his partner Jools Poore and their daughter, Raya May (born 2003). Due to the death of his mother, Eileen, in 2005, he felt compelled to move back into her house in Oxford during 2006, where he had grown up. Coombes and his partner now have a second daughter, named Tiger (b. 17 May 2008). Gaz Coombes and his brothers Rob Coombes, Charly Coombes and Eddie Coombes also jointly own a converted barn in Northern France, which is where the Supergrass album Road to Rouen was recorded.

His three siblings are all involved in music: the second eldest is the keyboardist and fellow Supergrass member Rob, former 22-20s keyboardist Charly and Paris-based Ed, the eldest brother (who also plays piano).

He is a Manchester United fan, and has appeared on the club's TV channel, MUTV.

Todd Hardy

Todd Hardy (May 17, 1957 – July 28, 2010) was a Canadian carpenter, trade union activist, and politician who served as Leader of the Yukon New Democratic Party. He has also served as Leader of the Opposition in the Yukon Legislative Assembly from 2002 to 2006.

A carpenter by trade, Hardy was business agent of local 2499 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America before being elected to the Yukon Legislative Assembly. He taught karate and also volunteered as a minor hockey coach, coaching one of the Yukon's teams to the Arctic Winter Games and the Canada Winter Games. He was married to Louise Hardy, the Yukon's former federal Member of Parliament.

Political career
He was first elected to the Yukon Legislative Assembly for the riding of Whitehorse Centre in the 1996 Yukon general election and was narrowly defeated in the 2000 election. Hardy was one of the founders of Habitat for Humanity in the Yukon. He became leader of the Yukon NDP in 2002 and won his Whitehorse Centre seat in the general election held that year.

In August 2006, Hardy was sent to Vancouver for leukemia treatment. Hardy fought the 2006, general election from his hospital bed through near daily telephone conferences with local reporters and the NDP candidates. He returned to Whitehorse just a week before the vote and still managed to win his seat. His party, however, though leading in the polls for months going into the election was reduced to three seats and third party status.

Hardy maintained his seat in the legislature and title of leader despite frequent trips out of the territory for continued monitoring and treatment during the spring sitting in 2007. He continued in his duties until the 2010 spring sitting, when his surprised his colleagues by sitting in the legislature despite his illness.

Citing his ongoing health issues, he announced on February 5, 2009, his intent to resign as party leader. This took effect on September 26, 2009, when Elizabeth Hanson was acclaimed as the new leader.

Death
Todd Hardy died at home after a long battle with leukemia at age 53 surrounded by close family.

Talk:My-HiME

Titling
I question the spelling of "Mai". While the transliteration is correct, it seems that most fansubbers are spelling it My Hime, not Mai Hime. Further, the japanese homepage uses "my", not "mai" in the spelling of its links. http://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp/my-hime for example.

Even the japanese version of this very article seems to use the "My" spelling in the paragraph quoted below (assuming my Japanese isn't too rusty):

タイトルの由来については、様々なタイプのいわゆる「& キャラ」が登場することから、「自分自身にとっての(My)お姫様(HiME)を見つけて下さい」という制作者の主張が込められているほか、「HiME」は「Highly-advanced Materialising Equipment」（高次物質化能力）の略称でもある（専門用語の見出しも参照の事）. &の小説「&」との関係はない.

The title is supposed to mean 'My Princess', so that might be a better idea for this WP. Philip Nilsson 15:58, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I've noticed people (usually anonymous users) keep changing "My" to "Mai" perhaps we should have a hidden thing telling people not to do that, it gets somewhat obnoxious to have to keep changing that when our consensus is that it's "My" and changing it tends to break links. --Katsuhagi 21:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Done. --Gwern (contribs) 22:26 20 January 2007 (GMT)
 * Thanks! I think that'll help keep this sort of thing from happening as often. Katsuhagi 22:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The reason for Mai instead of My leads due to the main characters name "Mai". In reference to Philip's discussion, the title is a play on words. The "Mai" is meant to be a play on the word "My", but not to be translated directly within the title. The title will always be changed back and forth because those that have previously seen the subbed version will remember "Mai-HiME", while those who retrieved the dubbed release will remember "My-HiME" Vitality15 18:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Additional character articles?
So far we have ones for Mai, Natsuki and Shizuru. Can people think of any other characters who deserve articles of their own? Katsuhagi 23:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Shizuru's "raping" of Natsuki
I personally feel this is too strong a word for use here, especially since the actual act is left ambiguous. I think this word should be replaced with a different one (perhaps "sexually assaults" or something similar) partially due to the negative connotation and severity of the word when used in popular culture.--Katsuhagi 00:37, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

The only thing the series shows is Shizuru lying down next to Natsuki. Making the leap of logic from that to rape is insane.

- As this's partially about Shizuru, I'd also like to point out that her character details have some arguable information. First of all, it says that she "massacred hundreds" during her rampage against the First District. No body-count is ever displayed in the series, and Mashiro's visit to the FD some episodes earlier only revealed a few elderly people present. Therefore the article is a bit inaccurate, and should be put in some less exaggerating manner. Also, it's hardly debatable that Shizuru's bloodlust was in deed caused by the Obsidian Lord/HiMe Star: In the episode where she finally snaps, it's shown quite plainly how her eyes switch colour from the normal red/brown to obsidian. Her sudden remorse after the resurrection scene also supports this. Thus, this should be considered as a fact for the article. End of nitpicking. Rexas 20:16, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

About The Name...
It should be noted that one feature of "Mai-HiME" Anime is that it is full of word play in the Japanese dialog. It is not really a mistake or coincidence that "Mai-HiME" can be turned into "My Princess" for the sake of another play on words. --Tomar 22:20, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Seems like there are two spellings used. Mai- is correct transliteration as you say. Animesuki lists 3 subgroups using Mai-, and 3 using My-, so it's not like the former spelling is non-existent. The url spellings in the two official japanese sites use my- and mai-. Plus redirects solves multiple spellings so it seems like a trivial problem. --69.214.227.51 07:09, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

True enough, which is why I didn't run off and change it immediately. This does seem like an interesting bit of trivia that might be of interest in the main article. We could even steal Tomar's explination above with just a tad of word smithing.

I support staying as close to the real japanese title as possible. Better the actual title of it should use the kanji for Mai rather than Mai. The "official" title IS Mai-HiME however you put it. I support using the true title. http://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp/my-hime/web/index.html This is the official site for mai-hime and it uses my-hime in the web address but in the news section it uses MAIHIME to refer to it. But, as said above the literal reading of it is Mai rather than My. Japanese like to slur in english words with their own. Ergzay 02:44, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

 * OTOH, "Mai-HiME" doesn't have the pun value that "My-HiME" does. The pun is intentional and the Japanese My-HiME article mentions it. --Shimei 03:06, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Mai Otome - the second season?
I am not sure we can call it a second season, if the only common thing is the character design. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:25, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, it can be argued that Mai Otome is the alternate universe of HiME. Slur 14:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * There is also evidence that My-Otome is set in the future of My-HiME. Shiroi Hane 10:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I also agree that there is plenty evidence to support that Mai-Otome is indeed set "many hundred years" in the future of the same universe as Mai-HiME. Miyu gives many statements that support it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Banggugyangu (talk • contribs) 07:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

Changes
Cleared up a few spelling errors; i.e. "Isukahime" properly spelled "Ikusahime". Jan 2006 -Wavedash

 * I've updated the episode list into what's supposed to be the wikipedia's standard. It still requires some more information, like original airdates and such. Rexas 14:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Mai-HiME Manga
Should a seperate page be created for the Manga as it has a completely diffrent storyline?
 * Also, I think that the manga shouldn't get a seperate page, just it's own section. Kiriyama 01:21, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Depends on whether or not you can contribute enough information. The Otome manga diverges enough to justify doing so, but I do not know about the HiME manga. --Warp L. Obscura 06:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * the manga is greatly different, with the Obsidian Lord being Takumi. the story is told through Tate's eyes and that he didnt suffer a kendo ingury, but was atacked trying to stop a mugging Shinigami Josh 10:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If you can craft one up... Go for it. Be Bold. We have one for MO's manga already and it still has loads of room for improvement. I believe you can do the same for MH? --Warp L. Obscura 15:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

ok, will be done, my formating is a bit off (spelling ect.) and it would help if after i have done it for some one to go over it and fix it upShinigami Josh 02:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

-- It seems like this was shut down, but I seriously think that we need to make a HiME manga page. I just finished reading volumes 2-5 and after seeing Nagi's situation, as well as the PRINCESSes and QUEENs, not to mention the, uh, 'Child', I believe that warrants the creation. I can try to create a page, but I can guarantee it will be terrible. -_-; But, considering it is 1:30 in the morning here, I will do it later. If and when the page is created, I would like to ask the HiME editors to help with the page. Linkforlife 07:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

english voice overs
I thought that Haley Joel Osment was going to do Tate's voice. Kiriyama 01:21, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Fixed some descriptions
Nao's mother fell into a coma because she was a victim of a robbery.

Calling into question the neutrality of Mai's romantic interests on her profile paragraph.
I have no problem with views on Mai having potential with either Tate, Reito, or Mikoto, but there is one sentence that I think should be more closely examined. "It seems obvious that..." Though there is some attempt at "qualifying" this statment with the word "seems", it is still a subjective, rather than objective comment that I feel is attempting to influence the reader to a particular view on the subject. What exactly was wrong with the way that it was before that comment was added? All possibilities were given mention, and the viewer of both the series and the article was left to make their own conclusion without being told what is "obvious". I was advised to post a "poll" of sorts, an RfC I suppose? I would like to, but admit that I am unfamiliar with the process, according to the page on the matter am I merely to create a topic on this discussion page calling for an RfC on the issue described, and provide a link to the main page?

Love-is-god 06:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with you on that. I think keeping in that she states she loves Tate and removing the rest would suffice.

Katsuhagi 20:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

My-Otome suggests it's Mikoto due to her love of Mai's cooking (it's stated that Mikoto ate Mai's gem and thereby made a pact with her) and the characters and relationships in My-Otome and My-HiME are very much alike (My-Otome often in a parodic manner). One could say the two animes just use some of the same characters, but it does explain in a way why Mai keeps her powers after Takumi and Tate (whom Mai and her enemies think of as Mai's most important person (respectfully - Takumi first, then Tate)) die and why Mai never gives up on Mikoto after her initial rage.

Shorttail 13:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Tail, that's the view I agree with as well, it seems quite logical overall- Mai keeps powers after MIP's die, several heartfelt scenes between the two, what more do you want? But one can see that me supporting putting such a thing into the article would be exactly what I'm arguing against. Despite my own opinion on the matter, it needs to be left up for the viewer of the series to decide without anybody on this site telling them what's "logical" or "obvious".

Love-is-god 18:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Er, it's directly shown that Mai thinks of Mikoto as a sister. Since Takumi was apparently her original MIP, then platonic love does count. Also, I was always under the impression that if a child days, then the MIP dies as well, not vice versa. Anyway, Tate doesn't seem to exist in Mai-Otome. In one of the OVA's, Mai wonders why everyone thinks of her as the tragic otome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.2.108.39 (talk) 00:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Character pages
Need suggestions. Whose character page to do next?
 * I'd suggest Haruka since she has radically different backgrounds in HiME and Otome. I think that it would be the best use of time to to characters with greatly different versions of themselves in each version. Katsuhagi 21:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Started. Now, anyone else? I was thinking Midori or Reito... --Warp L. Obscura 14:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Midori might be a good one, though I think that perhaps Tate might be a candidate given his different roles in the manga and anime, and his small but important role in the MO manga. Katsuhagi 02:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yuuichi Tate started but bad. Input highly appreciated. --Warp L. Obscura 02:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Midori Sugiura started. --Warp L. Obscura 13:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, Yukino Kikukawa is now up. I think Mikoto should probably get one too at some point. Katsuhagi 21:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I finally made the move from Juliet Nao Zhang to Nao Yuuki. Could do with work, though, especially with regards to the still stub-marked MH manga section. --Warp L. Obscura 15:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

whats with the scarf?
the only time i see Mai's scarf in My-HiME is in the images, not in the actual anime. then in both the My-Otome manga and anime she has the scarf. what is the significance of that?

Untrue. From the OP: From Ep 26:. So it existed in the anime. Significance, no idea. Most likely a SSStylistic touch, if an underused one. --Warp L. Obscura 12:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Nagi as Loki
I dont think that the sentence In the Valkyries tale he would best fit the role of Loki. should be included in Nagi's block. While this statement is true, the valkyries applies to Searrs, and Nagi is a part of the First District. He is one that apposes Searrs, so I dont think that is really valid. Linkforlife 02:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

 * From the way I took it, "Valkyrie" can refer to a HiME as well. Greer refers to the natural HiME as Valkyries when he's observing them. It even says in the article proper that a Valkyrie is one way to refer to a HiME. Katsuhagi 02:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, but the reason Greer calls them Valkyries is because he is with Searrs. None of the HiMEs or the First District call them that. There are a lot of Norse mythology references in the Searrs Foundation, but thats it. Its only in the Searrs Foundation. Linkforlife 03:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps so. I think perhaps taking out the Valkyrie refernce might be best, but Nagi most definately fits the role of Loki or a trickster. I'm not entirely it's ever established who exactly he works for, as in the last episode he essentially says he'll have to do something else. I also vaguely recall something about him going to Valhalla with Mashiro. Katsuhagi 23:08, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Lord of the Flies?
I haven't read this book, so I am not an expert in the field. I did read the page about it on Wikipedia though, and I don't think My-HiME is a parody of it. The latter portions of the two stories are similar in that they both have a group of people fighting amongst themselves in order to gain power, I don't think that qualifies as a parody. Could the anonymous editor 150.216.225.165 please explain they're reasoning? Linkforlife 22:36, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, for starters, did Nagi actually ever read Lord of the Flies? We should at least verify the basic claims. I don't remember seeing him do so, but I certainly wasn't watching hard. --Gwern (contribs) 00:22 19 December 2006 (GMT)

 * I think I remember him reading it, but I don't remember what episode or when. If they go hand in hand like the claim, it would probably be when the battle is starting, when Nao 'attacks' Yukariko. I can look later tonight. Linkforlife 16:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

The Dancing Girl?
That clarification link at the top? I did a background check, that novel has absolutely nothing to do with the My-HiME animé other than being called Maihime (舞姫). I'm wondering why it says My-HiME and the associated "My-" franchise is based off of it, when it clearly is not. In anycase, I'd consider either removing it or rewording it to reduce confusion. My-HiME is not about a female German dancer who is rejected by a Japanese man whom she develops feelings for. --Robtf 04:27, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Maybe I'm missing something, but where does it say My-HiME has anything to do with Maihime besides the title? --Gwern (contribs) 04:32 20 December 2006 (GMT)

 * This article is about the anime series and the franchise based upon it. It says it's based on it. It's poor wording that is too ambiguous. --Robtf 04:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * You're totally misreading it. The "it" can only refer to concrete objects already mentioned; only the My-HiME article and the My-HiME anime series are concrete objects which precede the it in the sentence - the book is mentioned after the "it", which makes no sense if the "it" were a variable representing the book. "This (article) is about the (anime series and the franchise based on the anime series)", if that helps. The disambiguation notice is a common formulation seen throughout Wikipedia. I do not think it is poor wording. --Gwern (contribs) 04:52 20 December 2006 (GMT)

 * It makes no mention of it being unrelated. In the end, that's all I'm saying.--Robtf 04:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well if Robtf can't disambiguate a disambiguation notice then it isn't doing its job. It will need to be re-written. How about This article is about the anime series and its adaptions. For the 1890 novel by Mori Ogai, see The Dancing Girl. ?? --Squilibob 09:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

HiME Page Revision
I want to let everyone know that I am willing to do a massive addition of info to the HiME and Otome pages. I want to include personal pages for all the main characters and also organize the info better, as well as do a HiME manga page. The one thing I will need major help on is pics - I don't know much about how to get them or how to upload them, so the addition of more pics, especially manga pics, will be really appreciated. I also need help linking sources and such.

Thanx! Saintvlas22 01:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the help. Regarding pictures, if I have time I can upload some. Diabound00 08:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Categoization
It's less confusing to put all the HiME stuff together, and all the Otome stuff together, instead of grouping both the animes and both the mangas togehter. The Otome OVA stuff should be included simply in the Otome part of a characters article, for simplicity's sake. Also, instead of a general description for the character, I am going to write up a bio for them each, with the bio containing all the major events that have happened to them in the anime and the manga. I am finished totally with Midori's article; some pictures there would really be appreciated, as it's looking quite bare right now save for text. I'll be done all the characters that have articles on them by the end of the week, I just need someone to open up personal articles for the rest of the HiME's (Mikoto Minagi, Akane Higurashi, Sister Yukariko, Shiho Munakata, Akira Okuzaki, Yukino Kikukawa, Fumi Himeno) as well as for Mashiro Kazehana and Nagi Homura. For Juliet Nao Zhang and Mashiro Blan de Windblume articles, I think they should be changed tot heir HiME counterparts so it matches with the other existing articles, so it should be Nao Yuuki and Mashiro Kazehana instead. i also think that a page for seconday HiME and Otome characters should be created, four in total for the manga and animes.

Sorry for the long winded post, but the Mai HiME/Otome pages are kinda neglected, and I just need everything to be started, and I can take on the bulk of it myself (along with some people sending pictures). Thanx! Saintvlas22

I added a new plot synopsis, since the old one simply outlined the first episode of the series. I think it needed to include the basic thread of the storyline, as well as a vague outline of what to expect in it.
 * I think what you put is a much better synopsis, so Kudos for taking that upon yourself. Katsuhagi 18:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject?
I was wondering if there is enough scope to qualify for a WikiProject? A central portal for unified discussion on improving the articles of My-HiME and My-Otome would help to make dealing with them easier, considering that we have in excess of 16 (13 HiMEs + Arika + Nina + Mashiro) character articles, in addition to the four "main pages" (MH anime & manga, MO anime & manga) plus a potential fifth if we make one for Zwei like Hellsing has for Hellsing Ultimate. The fact that a fair number of these articles are only Start-Class despite the work put into them is also good rationale for one.

What say y'all? --Warp L. Obscura 14:17, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Considering the plan for the My-HiME Big Bang Project and thus the fact that a lot of material will be released I wouldn't mind creating one. However I don't know if enough people will join and how much work would be put into this project. Diabound00 15:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I think there should be at least three more people who could be interested in this; Katsuhagi, Linkforlife and Saintvlas22. Not counting the various other editors without a specific focus on the subject matter. That makes 5 of us, which is the minimum suggested on WikiProject Council/Proposals. --Warp L. Obscura 02:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I would be interested and would put backing into this. Katsuhagi 03:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think it's such a good idea. A Wikiproject is a lot of work, and the bare minimum (and I doubt all five listed people are fanatical persons who definitely will not drift away and are willing to tackle all that work) is an awfully risky place to start from. If you start it and it molders halfway through, you'll be worse off than before, and it'll actually get in the way of actually working on articles. --Gwern (contribs) 03:01 5 March 2007 (GMT)

The thing is that, with all the discussion scattered over the various pages, it constitutes a lack of efficiency to run around all of them. A "place" to consolidate the discussion would help to unify the text for easier reference. Perhaps a task force would be better? --Warp L. Obscura 03:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, My-Otome Zwei page started, but I am the only editor for that article as of now... --Warp L. Obscura 15:07, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the character template is good, but then I think you should add other characters on it listing in "Others" or in "Miscellanious characters" listing characters like Yuuichi Tate, Takumi Tokiha, Nagi Homura, and Haruka Suzushiro who also have supporting roles.

Musicalmelodygirl 9:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I've begun adding infoboxes to the character articles under the MH sections, since that might be a way to gather some of the information (height, weight, etc.) and add a sense of continuity. I saw someone do that for the Mai article and have put them on a few more since, and have made the colors the colors mainly associated with that character (Shizuru's is purple, Haruka's is green, Natsuki's is blue). Katsuhagi 22:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

After seeing some considerably "smaller" animes get info templates of their own, I've been working on one for MH/MO, but it needs some work before we can officially make it our own. Here's what's currently been done...

Feel free to suggest improvements, I know it needs many. --Warp L. Obscura 15:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that My-HiME and My-Otome should have their own separate templates. Also, I don't feel that there is a critical distinction between the HiMEs and the other characters. Some HiMEs aren't revealed until late in the series, and some non-HiMEs play significant roles as well. Phony Saint 15:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

This is my stab at it. I'm trying to find the My-HiME logo to put on the side. Phony Saint 04:27, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I created a new template. View under Template:My-HiME. If anyone wants to change anything on it, please do it there.Diabound00 18:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Character page revisions, other comments

 * 1) I've been working on the Mai Tokiha, Mikoto Minagi, and Natsuki Kuga articles. I'd like to standardize all character articles to having this set of sections:
 * 2) *Common characteristics
 * 3) *My-HiME anime
 * 4) **Actions
 * 5) **Powers
 * 6) *My-HiME manga
 * 7) *My-Otome anime
 * 8) *My-Otome manga
 * 9) *Name origins
 * 10) I see many attempts to detail every action a character does, which violates WP:WAF. I also occasionally see conjectures about characters and their relationships, which falls under WP:NOR. This is just a reminder that both should be avoided.
 * 11) There seems to be confusion over the proper spelling of some words, such as Fuuka or Yuuichi. The English dub (its official website) spells them "Fuka" and "Yuichi" respectively. However, the English manga spells them "Fuuka" and "Yuuichi". For now I've just used the spelling the corresponding series uses, but I'd like to see what consensus or guidelines there are on it. Phony Saint 16:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

 * WP:WAF is far too hysterical about the danger of FU in this case. These articles come nowhere near the point where they might need to be trimmed. --Gwern (contribs) 17:04 16 April 2007 (GMT)
 * I think so too. I think there might be some unnecessary trimming going on with certain articles, and as of present the Natsuki article doesn't really give a clear picture of the last battle between Shizuru and Natsuki, and makes it sound like they killed each other when it was really a reconciliation. Just a few notes. Katsuhagi 17:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The revision of the Natsuki article before I touched it barely even mentions Shizuru or even what Natsuki actually does in the anime. (link) A lot of what I've done in the individual character articles was adding information which can be traced back to the series, as opposed to vague generalized statements which can't be sourced or don't have a basis in the series.
 * What I was referring to with WP:WAF were the lists of characters, where there were huge paragraphs even though half the characters already have their own character pages, and the lists of episodes, where some episode summaries attempt to explain everything in the episode.
 * My main problem with specific character pages is that undue weight is given to specific episodes rather than an overall look at the characters, such as Yukino Kikukawa, where all of Yukino's actions in My-Otome revolve around the OVA, or Mashiro Blan de Windbloom, which is just one large mess. Phony Saint 20:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Unnecessary categories
Looking at Category:My-HiME and Category:My-Otome, there is no real reason why we need both. The majority of articles are for characters, with only a few characters being unique to My-Otome. Anyone against moving all of them to Category:My-HiME Project and putting the two up for deletion? Phony Saint 16:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Because it reflects the actual things? What downside is there for having the categories be correct and fine-grained? There isn't any - deleted things still take up space and 'Wikipedia is not paper'. --Gwern (contribs) 17:05 30 April 2007 (GMT)
 * I have to agree with Gwern, I personally think there's more order to them separated, and things like the episode lists and terminology I don't see working well together in one big one. Katsuhagi 19:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Hime Strength?!
Just a question and theory about HiME powers perhaps something worth writing or it might be trivial but I'm discussing it anyway. Might not even be true but hey why not. I did some reviewing of the anime and noticed a few things about the HiMEs and their Childs.

All Childs appear at least initially born equal but are seperated by the strength and awareness of the HiMEs' love for their precious people and their individual abilities (all Child can fly though as seen in the last ep but only a Duran learns to do both before it). Kiyohime is not gigantic it only gets bigger because of Shizuru's obsessive love for Natsuki. If you watch the last episode when the HiMEs attack the star you'll notice its much smaller about the same size category as the other Children (Shizuru rides on its behind not one of its heads) along with a shrunk Duran after the two have calmed down (unless their revival is to blame). Everybody knows how Duran got Kagatsuchi big when Natsuki realized she loved Shizuru. Me thinks that Kagatsuchi was also small but held leftover power from when Mashiro used him hence the need for the Sword of Sealing in his head.

All Elements and HiME are equals but are seperated by their inherent skills, strengths, intelligence and their affection for their respective loved ones which affects the element's power (this would fit in with the purpose of the carnival). Midori for instance has an element almost identical to Shizuru's but Shizuru's is much stronger able to cut up Children, even Mikoto's sword is able to cut up things real good and it gets stronger when her love increases. I figure there must be three categories of HiME in respect to their elements: melee, range and accessory.

Melee basically means a melee element: Shizuru, Midori, Fumi, Nao, Akira, Akane and Mikoto. Range includes: Natsuki, Yukariko and Mai and Accessory includes: Shiho, Yukino and perhaps Mai (still not too sure about it). Melee ones will obviously have the highest attack power but obviously come at a disadvantage because of the need to get up close, by the look of it any HiME (except maybe Akane who is pretty weak anyway) with a melee weapon demonstrates fairly obvious superhuman strength and speed, me thinks that it's a means to offset the disadvantage of having to get up close and personel and use one's own strength instead of just commanding a blast of energy. Accessory HiME basically have special powers they could use tactically; Shiho can astral project meaning she can summon her Child anywhere and any time, very sneaky. Yukino instead of having a weapon is basically clairvoyant. Mai I think has accessory powers because she can fly and erect forceshields, she's also technically ranged because she can shoots jets of fire (since she has two advantages here I'm thinking it might be leftover Mashiro power or maybe that she can't use her flames offensively very much, she only uses it once in the whole series). Natsuki and Yukariko are Ranged HiME who have the obvious advantage of being able to stay out of harms way while they attack. Since Range and Accessory have their respective advantages it explains why these HiME are never shown with superhuman strength or speed. All the same I still think its a bit vague since Natsuki seems to have considerable strength and speed anyway, she can keep up with Shizuru easily, jump around like a rat on speed and take down several armored Searrs soldiers with light attacks, she even jumps out of a helicopter and lands unscatched but her fates are humanly possible just at the far end of things (Olympic level). Deus-Helios 27 May, 2007 (UTC)

 * Speculation on HiME strength doesn't belong in the article. Phony Saint 14:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I was asking if anyone else came to similar conclusions and if it is worth noting a few specificities about Children and HiME powers from what is seen in the anime to go into the terminology section? I want o bounce it off someone else first to see if it's correct and worth putting in. Oh I made a mistake, St. Vres floats and Gakutenou flies early on as well. BTW Phony Saint are also Phony a Mai Hime fanfic writer? Deus-Helios 11.12 am 28 May, 2007 (UTC)

 * If it's just a theory as you said, then it's not worth putting in even if others agree. See No original research. Phony Saint 04:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Already read it, the trouble is I'm not sure if its a theory or a fact because there is proof to support it I'm just really not sure how I should I put it or if I should bother (I do misread, misobserve or get misinformed about things). The Child thing about equality in size is proven, if you watch Ep. 26 you'll see that Kiyohime got smaller but is it worth mentioning? Take Mikoto for instance she has superhuman strength that is observed and confirmed but is it a HiME power or just an anime quirk, is Natsuki just a really good fighter or is a HiME power?

P.S. I did notice that the terminology page doesn't have a "need for expansion or clean-up" tag on it.Deus-Helios 12.39 pm 28 May, 2007 (UTC)

 * Making guesses like that is explicitly disallowed under WP:NOR. It's not our job to draw the lines, so to speak; we should only be reporting what's explicitly stated in the series and not creating theories on how strong the HiMEs are. If you enjoy coming up with theories, you should go to a forum like AnimeSuki.
 * I don't see why the terminology page needs expansion or cleanup; perhaps you could elaborate. Phony Saint 04:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright thanks for clarifying things with me, it's just that some details are based on what is seen such as the actions of the characters while others need to have an official text outlining such as the details in a guidebook to merit. Remember that character actions as put in their biographies are summarised plot referenced to an episode or chapter. But it's hard for to me find the line between them especially since the My Hime pages have so much attention placed upon them hence why I discussing this here.
 * Oh I just feel like adding some more details because it seems a little small, it's stated that the HiMEs can materialize but it is obvious that some can do other things but there seems to be a greater leaning towards briefness going around so I'll follow the crowd. Take this line "In the anime, Childs can be summoned anytime after a HiME has accepted her Child. They are linked to a HiME's most important person; when the Child dies, the HiME's most important person also dies, and the HiME loses her powers." I feel like adding: "The strength of a child is relative to the strength of the emotional bond between the HiME and her most precious person." Among other details.

HiME plural
What is the correct plural for HiME - HiME or HiMEs? - Sikon 16:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Technically in Japanese it would just be the HiME, since they don't have plurals in the sense that English does. Referring to the group of all 12 of them in Japanese would be something like HiME-tachi, but I don't think we have to worry about that in this context, so I would just go with HiME in the plural. Katsuhagi 16:14, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * What does the English dub use? - Sikon 17:02, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * On the back of the DVD cover it's HiME plural. Katsuhagi 17:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Destiny
--202.7.150.150 11:22, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Is Destiny a sequel or AU? The page calls it a sequel.
 * From what I heard, it takes place in an alternate universe where the HiME never existed, but Fuka Academy and its students did. And it takes place shortly after the time period in which the Mai-HiME events took place in its own universe. - Sikon 11:28, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Then wouldn't that make it an alternate universe then and not a sequel because whoever wrote the My-Hime Destiny page calls a sequel.
 * Be bold and correct it. - Sikon 02:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Mai Hime The Movie?
There's a movie trailer of Mai Hime The Movie w/c I'd saw it before where Arika Yumemiya (the main character of Mai Otome) was a villain there and this movie should conclude to the story of Mai Hime series. And rumored said that the movie didn't released as scheduled last year, I wonder what really happened? Anyone knows?
 * It was a joke. Get it? A joke. As if "20006" (with three 0's) wasn't a dead giveaway. - Sikon 20:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Why there is no mention about it, and the y cromossome intolerance? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.56.112.44 (talk) 00:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Wrong series. You're thinking My-Otome. Katsuhagi 00:56, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

= Least useful 'Plot Summary' Ever =

The plot summary is 'Mai Tokiha transfers to Fuka Academy and learns that she along with several other girls at the school are HiMEs. ' There is no definition of what a 'HiME' is, or what that means for the main character. I have no clue, or I'd put something up.

Someone tagged the My-HiMe EXA page and suggested that we should merge it with the My-HiMe(manga) page, so should we merge them together? Since the My-HiMe EXA page is kinda short and it's related to the My-HiMe (manga). --Vaktug (talk) 01:49, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Chernushenko

 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 DELETE? Anyway, it's now a redirect, and this isn't RFD. dbenbenn | talk 14:20, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

David Chernushenko
Looks like vanity to me. A politician who this page seems to indicate has never been close to being elected to anything. Is a businessman and has worked for a few bureaucracies (are all bureaucrats notable now)? Being elected to government on a national level is notable. Just running (especially on as a minor party candidate) is not. No real accomplishments. He has included his travel intinerary though. Fluff. Delete. -R. fiend 06:31, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, with reservations. Needs expansion. Megan1967 07:57, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even politicians must meet the Criteria for inclusion of biographies. This one doesn't. -- Egil 08:11, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Criteria for inclusion of biographies states Biographies on the following people may be included in Wikipedia. This list is not all-inclusive. There are numerous biographies on Wikipedia on people who do not fall under any of these categories, and no intention to delete them all. IMO this means that while satisfying the criteria justifies a keep vote, not satisfying them proves nothing. No vote at this stage. Andrewa 11:47, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Concur with Egil, Delete. Radiant! 09:45, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable public servant--nixie 10:11, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete "Finished a strong fourth". Lots of people run for office merely as a political exercise, with no serious hope of actually winning.  That doesn't necessarily make them notable. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  13:00, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Deletustovich. Concur with Andrew and Ten.  Barno 01:27, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I've compressed the page to a redirect. Deletion is no longer necessary.

To explain in more detail: This is not the first time that pages of this sort have come up for discussion on vfd. In past discussions, a general consensus emerged around "minor candidate" pages: (i) there is room on Wikipedia to store some information about such figures, (ii) individual bio pages might not be the best way to approach such figures.

In one previous discussion, I suggested that I (or someone else) could create a more centralized database for minor candidates of the same party, storing the basic information for several such figures on a single page. Most seemed to agree that this was a reasonable compromise, in the event that it was necessary. (The threshold for "relevance" is somewhat lower for a general page of this sort than for a bio page; also, some readers opined that having the information in one location would be more convenient.)

"David Chernushenko" is now a redirect to a page on 2004 Green Party candidates. For the time being, his is the only entry -- there are a few more "dubious" bio pages that I plan on adding (and compressing to redirects) in the near future, however.

If anyone disagrees with this decision, please contact me on my talk page. For the time being, however, I suspect the matter may be closed. (Note that I made a similar decision on vfd once before, without any complaints.)

(Btw -- the page in its previous form *was* vanity.) CJCurrie 03:50, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm alright with this compromise; certainly better than a whole article on him. Also currently on VfD is Dan Biocchi, who, amazingly, is surviving VfD, even though his page said less than this one did. Part of the reason might be that he was once apparently an Olympic athlete (a fact that the article does not mention, nor does it even mention what he ran for and when). If he ran the same year I think he could be put on the same minor candidate page. I imagine there are many pages of candidates who ran for some office and lost who could recieve similar treatment. I know of a few anyway. -R. fiend 04:11, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I hereby amend my earlier list (on Dan Biocchi) of what I consider the main criteria for inclusion of minor party candidates, to add (e) most candidates are included on a single list. I think this is a really good idea, and strikes a good balance between notability concerns and the fact that the information is useful for some purposes. Keep list. (Oh, and I still think Dan Biocchi's Olympic history makes him an individual keep, as long as the article is expanded to include it.) Bearcat 04:21, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I think you have some good points. Some related discussion is going on in Deletion policy/Local politicians. Would you consider joining it? Radiant! 09:28, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * I am still inclined to vote delete. He just does not meet my understanding of the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies.  Merger into a list doesn't really solve the underlying problems of articles about such persons.  He is so little known that no one will realistically be able to verify the information in the article.  A vandal could add, delete or modify the content of the article (whether stand-alone or in a list) and there won't be enough knowledgable reader/editors to catch it. Rossami (talk) 23:52, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't believe this is likely, or that it makes a strong case for deletion -- these may not be well-known figures on a national level, but they're still public figures; information added to such pages may be scrutinized, as such.  (And questionable edits can always be reverted in the absence of concrete information.)  Chernushenko, in particular, is a relatively well-known figure within the City of Ottawa.  He may not deserve a separate bio page, but there's surely room on Wikipedia for information on his political history.  CJCurrie 06:03, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Including the redirect.  Candidates for election, even to national legislatures, are usually not notable, and this is the only basis for notability that is mentioned.    CJCurrie's "compromise" was to create a list article Green Party of Canada candidates, 2004 federal election aiming to have a short bio on each of the Green Party's 308 candidates (almost all of whom list). This list actually only has one bio, for Chernushenko.   I think if you create a list that has a potential for 308 entries, you should create it with a significant number of those entries from the outset, rather than relying on eventualism to complete it.  Nobody is going to expand this list to any reasonable degree and it is just going to be crud that is eventually going to have to go through VfD itself.   --BM 15:40, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I realize that the discussion time on this article is over, but I should probably explain my motivations on the odd chance that anyone actually looks over this discussion in the future: the page only has one entry because it was presented as a model for future entries, and was meant to solicit discussion. There are numerous other pages that I could compress to redirects as well; in fact, I may do so shortly.  (Btw -- for those overseeing the vfd/old page, I do not believe there is any consensus to delete the "David Chernushenko" page *in its current form*.)  CJCurrie 23:02, 1 Mar 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.

User:Amerique

Editing interests
Amerique primarily edits articles related to California. He also has interests in Anthropology, Linguistics, and Information, but editing in these areas is too much like work for him.

Current long-term projects include: developing the University of California, Santa Cruz, Inland Empire and associated articles towards FA status.

To work out his POV and better proceed on developing University of California articles, he wrote a mini-essay regarding student support for athletics at various campuses, located here User:Amerique/UC Essay.

Community interests
Amerique was interested in how dispute resolution affects social conflict across the site. The development of cabals and the likewise production of trolls used to be all that interested him in this site, but he gradually came to view the larger game as pointless. Particularly after Academy Leader was blocked for "carry[ing] water for Wikipedia's critics." "Wherever there is an aristocracy, or a guild, or any association of a class of men whose interests depend, or are supposed to depend, on certain propositions, there will be inevitably found some traces of this natural product of social feeling. Cruelties always accompany this system; and when it is consistently carried out, they become atrocities of the most horrible kind in the eyes of any rational man. Nor should this occasion surprise, for the officer of a society does not feel justified in surrendering the interests of that society for the sake of mercy, as he might his own private interests. It is natural, therefore, that sympathy and fellowship should thus produce a most ruthless power." -Charles Peirce, The Fixation of Belief, 1877

"You dig into yourself and the community to wage psychological warfare... you combat your own fears about beatings, shootings and possible mob violence... you organize, pound by pound, small bands of people ... you create a small striking force." Bob Moses 1963 SNCC organizer. "There is a sure, one word solution to all the world's current problems: Atheism." Marshall Sahlins

"If I were asked for my conception of what I do, the strategist being the man who says, 'What difference does a particular death, a particular cry, a particular revolt make compared to the great general necessity, and, on the other hand, what difference does a general principle make in the particular situation where we are?', well, I would have to say that it is immaterial to me whether the strategist is a politician, a historian, a revolutionary, a follower of the shah or of the ayatollah, my theoretical ethic is opposite to theirs. It is 'anti-strategic': to be respectful when singularity revolts, intransigent as soon as power violates the universal." Michel Foucault, 1979

12 (BMT rapid transit service)

12 was the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation's designation for trains that used the BMT Lexington Avenue Line. This number was used on service listings on company maps, but was never displayed on train equipment, nor were trains referred to as "12 trains" in the manner of the current system, but were called Lexington Avenue Line trains.

The BMT assigned numbers to its services in 1924, and 12 was applied to trains between Park Row and Eastern Parkway via the Brooklyn Bridge, BMT Myrtle Avenue Line, BMT Lexington Avenue Line and BMT Jamaica Line. During rush hours, service extended east to Crescent Street; some afternoon rush hour trains continued to 111th Street or 168th Street.

Between 1925 and 1931, all rush hour service was extended to 111th or 168th Street. In addition, some afternoon rush hour trains were added between Sands Street (on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge) and 111th Street.

By 1937, normal service had been truncated to the Brooklyn side of the bridge; rush hour trains still crossed the bridge to Park Row. Additionally, trains no longer ran to 168th Street, with all rush hour trains going to 111th Street. The extra afternoon rush hour trains from Sands Street to 111th Street remained.

On May 31, 1940, service was ended on the BMT Fulton Street Line west of Rockaway Avenue and the full length of the BMT Fifth Avenue Line and BMT Third Avenue Line. All Lexington Avenue trains were once again extended across the Brooklyn Bridge to Park Row, and a new service called Fulton – Lexington Avenue was inaugurated, replacing service that had been provided by Fulton Street trains, and operating to the Fulton Street Line terminus at Lefferts Avenue.

On March 5, 1944, the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line was closed west of Jay Street and the Bridge Street station at that location was renamed Bridge–Jay Streets; all 12 trains were truncated there (with a free transfer first to streetcars, and then to the IND at Jay Street – Borough Hall) – see List of New York City Subway transfer stations for details.

By 1948, Fulton – Lexington Avenue trains were truncated to Grant Avenue. The BMT Lexington Avenue Line closed on October 13, 1950, ending all 12 service.

Talk:The Henry Ford

The Henry Ford
The official web site - external links - calls itself "The Henry Ford" Which also includes the Greenfield Village. The Museum is separated from the Village, and one can spend a full day going through each one, and then one should plan on a return visit to see what is missed.

Initially I thought it would mean more to add the word museum to the article, but I can understand that leaving it as it is would be appropriate, so I backed off.

An article is needed on the Ford Rouge complex. The Rouge complex consists of a manufacturing plant, a steel slab mill, a Basic Oxygen Furnace, a hot strip mill, a glass plant, and associated administration and engineering buildings. Coke and Iron ore can be delivered directly to the Ford Rouge Plant via Cargo Ships - Great Lakes Ore boats. Henry Ford not only fine tuned the assembly line at this plant, but he also created a complete community of allied industrial facilities to support it.

rob chamberlin 06:43, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * This is historically true about the Rouge plant but not current. The steel plant is no longer part of Ford, etc. Rmhermen 01:09, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

However, The Rouge made Dearborn the Industrial Center of the World for many many years, and I agree the article should be there.
 * Your are commenting on an old discussion. The article on the River Rouge Plant was begun more than a year ago. Rmhermen 00:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

As a current employee of the Henry Ford, I can say that the name on my check is "the Edison Institute." This is the official name of the complex and should very well be noted as such. The name, The Henry Ford, is an unofficial name promoted by the Institute. Also, I believe that the Museum and the Village should be divided into two separate articles. (unsigned?)

 * The museum and the village should be one article, its all the Edison Institute. And much more information and photos are needed. Especially a photo the main building. Also a photo of the Dearborn Inn, and the Village. Also, inside photos of exhibits if possible. Thomas Paine1776 22:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

 * What happened to the end of the title? Fix it, please, it actually offends me horribly that it's wrong and the edit button won't let me fix the article title. It's The Henry Ford Museum.  I live there, I worked there, the museum was my second home. I know. I've never heard or seen it truncated like this before.  Really it's the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village if you're going to put the two of them together formally. If you say Henry Ford Museum then you only mean the museum. If you don't put Greenfield Village in the title then you need it to make it a separate article; you can make it all one article if you want but the title should reflect it.   As to the Edison Institute thing, that's the non-profit organization name.  I'd have to research the name, but at a random guess its probably related to the close relationship between Ford and Edison. Ford did a lot to honor Edison and this is just one more way of keeping the name alive (see the Edison handprints in the lobby, some of Edison's inventions in the museum, and Edison's last breath on display).

 * The entire complex is branded "The Henry Ford." That's it's "official" marketing name, and the one that should be used to refer to the whole complex, which is the subject of this article. That includes the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, and the Benson Ford research center. The organization that owns and runs the whole thing is named The Edison Institute. I double checked all this with one of the docents that works there - the guy working the top floor of the Menlo Park lab who has worked there for decades. Jbmcb (talk) 00:12, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Logo/Image
I've added a logo for The Henry Ford to the article. I couldn't get it inside the infobox (I cant get the code formatted properly). I also moved an image "Glimpse of Greenfield Village" down the page a bit. Feel free to make any changes or move things around. - Rjd0060 15:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Greenfield Village buildings
I believe that a couple of the buildings mentioned are perhaps not as notable as the article makes them out to be. (Disclaimer: this is from memory and should be confirmed before action is taken.) If anyone can find verification of these items, they should be noted in this article. Cmadler (talk) 17:50, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Edison buildings: some or all of them are replicas constructed for Greenfield Village, rather than the original buildings.
 * Logan County, Illinois courthouse "where Abraham Lincoln practiced law". According to Lincoln, Illinois, by 1905 "the earlier building [where Lincoln practiced law] had fallen into serious decay and could not be saved." This is not cited, but it jibes with what I was told at Greenfield Village, that the building there is a reconstruction containing "a few" of the timbers from the original courthouse.

Comments on reassessing
Hi everyone. I've assessed this article as "C" class, rather than B class. With the following changes I think it could be changed to B class. Thanks. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:29, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The current organization of the article is a bit hard to follow. There are multiple sections for 'history' (the museum background and the history) and sections for the distinct museum and village sections which are too far from each other to be helpful to the reader. Also, most of the subsections are devoted to gallery elements or one-paragraph elements of a list.
 * Image galleries are most of the organization on the page. On a desktop this isn't much of an issue but viewing the page on mobile is difficult.
 * The paragraph about "the Ford Rouge Factory" feels very promotional.

Miyabi

Miyabi (雅) is one of the traditional Japanese aesthetic ideals, though not as prevalent as Iki or Wabi-sabi. In modern Japanese, the word is usually translated as "elegance," "refinement," or "courtliness" and sometimes to a "sweet loved one".

The ideal posed by the word demanded the elimination of anything that was absurd or vulgar and the "polishing of manners, diction, and feelings to eliminate all roughness and crudity so as to achieve the highest grace." It expressed that sensitivity to beauty which was the hallmark of the Heian era. Miyabi is often closely connected to the notion of Mono no aware, a bittersweet awareness of the transience of things, and thus it was thought that things in decline showed a great sense of miyabi. An example of this would be one of a lone cherry tree. The tree would soon lose its flowers and would be stripped of everything that made it beautiful and so it showed not only mono no aware, but also miyabi in the process.

Adherents to the ideals of miyabi strove to rid the world of crude forms or aesthetics and emotions that were common in artworks of the period, such as those contained in the Man'yōshū, the oldest extant collection of Japanese poetry. The Man'yōshū contained poems by people of every walk of life, many of which stood in stark contrast to the sensibilities of miyabi. For example, one poem in the collection likened a woman's hair to snail innards. The ideals of miyabi stood firmly against the use of metaphors such as this. Furthermore, appreciation of miyabi and its ideal was used as a marker of class differences. It was believed that only members of the upper class, the courtiers, could truly appreciate the workings of miyabi.

Miyabi in fact limited how art and poems could be created. Miyabi tried to stay away from the rustic and crude, and in doing so, prevented the traditionally trained courtiers from expressing real feelings in their works. In later years, miyabi and its aesthetic were replaced by the ideals of Higashiyama culture, such as Wabi-sabi, Yuugen, Iki and so on.

The characters of the classic eleventh-century Japanese novel "The Tale of Genji" by Lady Murasaki provide examples of  miyabi.

Honeycreeper

The typical honeycreepers form a genus Cyanerpes of small birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. They are found in the tropical New World from Mexico south to Brazil. They occur in the forest canopy, and, as the name implies, they are specialist nectar feeders with long curved bills.

The four Cyanerpes species have colourful legs, long wings and a short tail. The males are typically glossy purple-blue and the females greenish.

Taxonomy and species list
The genus Cyanerpes was introduced in 1899 by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser with the red-legged honeycreeper as the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek kuanos meaning "dark-blue" and herpēs meaning "creeper".

There are two other tanagers with honeycreeper in their common name: the green honeycreeper in the monospecific genus Chlorophanes and the golden-collared honeycreeper in the monospecific genus Iridophanes. These two species are sister taxa and belong to the subfamily Hemithraupinae rather than to Dacninae with the members of Cyanerpes.

The genus contains four species:

Eggs
A commonly repeated, yet false, belief about the various honeycreeper species is that some of them lay black eggs. This idea was first made known in the scientific community with the 1899 publication of Nehrkorn's egg catalog; Nehrkorn's claim was cited in ornithological literature for many years without verification, but by the 1940s it was established that none of the members of Cyanerpes lay such eggs.

Wikipaedia decision maker. Jason Frost was a Sunshine Bandmember withMajor label, KC & Sunshine Band, as well as an important part of rock n roll history in Olympia-Seattle area, who continues to create music for his devoted fans like myself. You can check here, as well as the many, many, links thoughout this page on his newspaper articles, press, artist pages, and movie film database on major film, etc. He is notable. Android79 has done nothing but angered me and played games and muddied up this page.

A search for "jason frost kc & sunshine band" turned up folowwing results: MTV listings: http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/337491/personmain.jhtml

(The star next to his name means he is notable to MTV!!!)

Wikipaedia requires for a band or artist personality to be listed he must have been a member of a notable band, KC & Sunshine Band, had hits like "get down tonight" and others. His being a member of this band makes him notable, even though I find this the least notable of his accomplishments. I vote to KEEP his other related band entries! - Timk

Park Row Terminal

The Park Row station was a major elevated railway terminal constructed on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge, across from New York City Hall and the IRT's elevated City Hall station. It served as the terminal for BMT services operating over the Brooklyn Bridge Elevated Line from the BMT Fulton Street Line, BMT Myrtle Avenue Line, and their feeders. Until the opening of the nearby Williamsburg Bridge to elevated train traffic in 1913, it was the only Manhattan station available for elevated trains from Brooklyn and the only elevated station in Manhattan to be owned by a company other than the IRT or its predecessors.

Early history
For the first fifteen years of its existence, it was used exclusively by trains of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge Railway, a cable-hauled line that spanned the length of the bridge between Park Row and another terminal at the Brooklyn end of the bridge.

On June 18, 1898, elevated trains of predecessor companies of the BMT began using the station during off-peak hours, while the cable-hauled shuttle continued to run at rush hours. Traffic at the station peaked in 1907, during what was known as the "Brooklyn Bridge crush", and additional stairways from the street to the terminal station were built. On January 27, 1908, the shuttle was eliminated and elevated trains began running to Park Row at all times.

At its height, Park Row Terminal had four platforms on four tracks in the main part of the terminal, and another three platforms on two tracks beyond (west of) the main train shed. This resulted in very complex scheduling and track shifting, so that most trains discharged their passengers at dedicated exit platforms and then were transferred to tracks on other platforms for loading of outgoing passengers.

Services
From 1898 until 1913, the following lines were hosted at least part-time at Park Row:

 * From Fulton Street Line (Kings County Elevated Railway)
 * Fulton Street Line
 * Brighton Beach Line via Fulton Street Line from Franklin Avenue.
 * From Myrtle Avenue Line (Brooklyn Union Elevated Railway)
 * Myrtle Avenue Line
 * Lexington Avenue Line (Brooklyn) via Myrtle Avenue Line from Grand Avenue
 * Fifth Avenue Line via Myrtle Avenue Line from Navy Street
 * Culver Line via Myrtle Avenue Line and Fifth Avenue Line from 36th Street and 5th Avenue, Brooklyn via 9th Avenue lower level.
 * West End Line via Myrtle Avenue Line and Fifth Avenue Line from 36th Street and 5th Avenue, Brooklyn via 9th Avenue upper level.
 * Third Avenue–Bay Ridge Line via Myrtle Avenue Line and Fifth Avenue Line from 36th Street and 5th Avenue, Brooklyn (cars often attached to end of Culver trains during non-rush hours)
 * Sea Beach Line via Myrtle Avenue Line, Fifth Avenue Line, and West End Line from Bath Junction (cars often attached to end of West End trains during slack times)

Gradual decline
As new bridges and new subways took the pressure off the Brooklyn Bridge services, ridership at Park Row gradually declined. In 1913, BMT built the nearby Chambers Street Subway Station below the yet to be completed Manhattan Municipal Building, although nine years earlier IRT had built the Brooklyn Bridge subway station at Center Street and Park Row.

October 27, 1913, was the last day of Sea Beach elevated service, in preparation for the new grade-separated line that began to use the BMT Fourth Avenue Line on June 22, 1915. On June 23, 1916, West End trains began using the Fourth Avenue subway exclusively. This was followed by the withdrawal of Brighton Beach service on August 1, 1920, when Brighton Beach trains began using a new connection to the BMT Broadway Line subway, severing its connection with the Fulton Street Line. On May 30, 1931, some Culver trains were rerouted to the Fourth Avenue subway and the BMT Nassau Street Line when the latter line opened.

In 1936, Park Row was reconfigured to two tracks total (the two southern main shed tracks) due to declining use and to simplify operations. On May 31, 1940, in preparation for the New York City takeover of the BMT system, the Fifth Avenue and Bay Ridge lines and services were abandoned, which also ended remaining Culver elevated service via those lines. The main line of the Fulton Street line was abandoned at the same time and, on June 1, a new service, Fulton–Lex, was introduced, bringing trains from the surviving outer portion of the Fulton Street Line to Park Row over the Broadway, Lexington and Myrtle Avenue Lines.

On March 5, 1944, all remaining elevated lines stopped using Park Row, and the Myrtle Avenue, Lexington Avenue, and Fulton–Lex services were cut back to the Bridge Street station in downtown Brooklyn. Brooklyn Bridge streetcars were shifted to the elevated tracks and used them until 1950, when all public transit was removed from the bridge. The streetcars did not use the Park Row terminal, but continued to use the trolley loops beneath the train shed, which was torn down.
