Wikipedia:Manual of Style/National varieties of English

It is intended that this page is not policy, but is a guide to how Wikipedians have interpreted the policy in the Manual of Style. This page is in development.

 * To read the current policy in full, see Manual of Style.

Greg Rusedski

 * Fact profile: Greg Rusedski was born in Canada, but has now taken British citizenship, sees himself as British and competes at tennis as a Briton.
 * Conclusion: Use standard British English for the article on Greg Rusedski.

John Mahoney

 * Fact profile: John Mahoney was born in England, but as a youth, moved to the United States. He now has American citizenship and sees himself as American.
 * Conclusion: Use standard American English for the article on John Mahoney.

Harold Larwood

 * Fact profile: English-born cricketer, who is notable for his performances for England in the 1932/3 Bodyline series. After retirement he emigrated to Australia, took Australian citizenship and saw himself as Australian.
 * Conclusion: As his notability relates to the period in which he lived in Britain, use standard British English for the article on Harold Larwood.

Said Musa

 * Fact profile: Said Musa is the Prime Minister of Belize. He was born in Belize when it was known as "British Honduras" and was under British rule. He also studied law at Manchester University in England, but returned to Belize the following year. He became a politician in independent Belize and has lived there ever since. Belize usually considers itself a Caribbean nation, rather than a Central American nation.
 * Conclusion: Belize uses British English as its written language (although the more common spoken dialect is Caribbean English), thus the article on Said Musa should be written in British English.

Fiat Regata

 * Fact profile: The Fiat Regata is an Italian motor car. It is produced in Italy, where there is no national variety of English, by an Italian company. It is sold in many markets, across which many varieties of English are in use.
 * Conclusion: The article was originally written in British English, therefore the article should retain that dialect.

Sean Connery

 * Fact profile: A Scottish-born actor, but has spent much time in America. He now lives in the Bahamas. However, he has retained his British citizenship and is still popularly described as Scottish.
 * Conclusion: Since Connery's notability is international in scope and he has resided in regions associated with at least three different dialects, there is no compelling reason to change it from its current usage of British English.

MULTI-S01

In cryptography, MULTI-S01 (pronounced multi-ess-zero-one), is an encryption algorithm based on a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG). MULTI-S01 is an encryption scheme preserving both confidentiality and data integrity. The scheme defines a pair of algorithms; the encryption, the corresponding decryption with verification. Coupling with an efficient keystream generator, such as Panama, MUGI, and RC4, the algorithm efficiently encrypts a message in the manner of a single path process, i.e. online algorithm. The decryption function cannot be used in such manner for keeping whole resultant data until successful verification.

The keysize of MULTI-S01 is determined by which keystream generator to use. MULTI-S01 takes a security parameter which determines the upperbound probability of successful forgery.

Since the calculation consists of addition and multiplication over the finite field, the algorithm is more suited to hardware implementation, although software implementation is still feasible.

MULTI-S01 with the PRNG Panama was among the cryptographic techniques recommended for Japanese government use by CRYPTREC in 2003, however, has been dropped to "candidate" by CRYPTREC revision in 2013. It has also been submitted to ISO/IEC 18033 Part 4 which defines stream-cipher standards.

The security of MULTI-S01 is based on that of underlying PRNG. If a secure PRNG is used, then the security of MULTI-S01 with respect to confidentiality and data integrity has been proven. As for the data integrity, the security proof is basically the same as one for Carter–Wegman MAC scheme, which is proven to be information-theoretically secure.

Babes in Toyland (1961 film)

Babes in Toyland is a 1961 American Christmas musical film directed by Jack Donohue and produced by Walt Disney Productions. It stars Ray Bolger as Barnaby, Tommy Sands as Tom Piper, Annette Funicello as Mary Contrary, and Ed Wynn as the Toymaker.

The film is based upon Victor Herbert's popular 1903 operetta Babes in Toyland. There had been a 1934 film also titled Babes in Toyland starring Laurel and Hardy, and three television adaptations prior to the Disney film, but Disney's was only the second film version of the operetta released to movie theatres and the first in Technicolor. The plot, and in some cases the music, bear little resemblance to the original, as Disney had most of the lyrics rewritten and some of the song tempos drastically changed, including the memorable song "Toyland", a slow ballad, which was sped up with only the chorus sung in a march-like rhythm.

The toy soldiers later appeared in Christmas parades at the Disney theme parks around the world.

Funicello said it was her favorite filmmaking experience.

Plot
A stage play begins, presented by Mother Goose and her talking goose, Sylvester, about Mary Contrary and Tom Piper, who are about to be married. The miserly and villainous Barnaby hires two crooks, dimwitted Gonzorgo and silent Roderigo. They are to throw Tom into the sea and steal Mary's sheep, depriving her of her means of support, to force her to marry Barnaby. Mary is unaware that she is the heiress to a fortune, but Barnaby is aware and wants it all for himself. Gonzorgo and Roderigo decide to sell Tom to the Gypsies instead of drowning him, in order to collect a double payment.

Gonzorgo and Roderigo return and tell Mary, Barnaby, and the citizens of Mother Goose Land that Tom has accidentally drowned. They show Mary a forged letter in which Tom tells Mary he is abandoning her, and she would be better off marrying Barnaby. Mary, believing she is destitute, reluctantly accepts the proposal from Barnaby. Barnaby unknowingly arranges for the same Gypsies who have Tom to provide entertainment for the wedding. Tom, disguised as the Gypsy Floretta, reveals himself, and Barnaby pursues the frightened Gonzorgo and Roderigo, furious at their deception.

One of the children who lives with Mary informs her of some sheep tracks leading into the Forest of No Return. The children sneak away into the forest to search for the missing sheep. The trees of the forest awaken and capture them. Tom and Mary follow and find the children in the forest, where they tell stories about the live trees. The trees seem just like ordinary trees to Tom and Mary. Tom, Mary, and the children camp for the night. In the morning, the trees once again come to life and explain that they are now in custody of the Toymaker in Toyland (who is also the Mayor and Chief of Police). Tom, Mary, and the children happily continue on, escorted part of the way by the trees.

Through the windows of the Toymaker's house they watch the Toymaker's brilliant apprentice, Grumio, present a new machine that makes toys without any manual labor. Overjoyed, the Toymaker speeds up the machine to such a high rate that it explodes, destroying every toy in the factory. Tom, Mary, and the children offer to help make more toys in time for Christmas.

Grumio presents another invention, a shrinking "gun" that reduces everyday objects to toy size. He warns that if it is used on anything more than once, the shrunken object disappears completely. The Toymaker is at first delighted at the idea of producing toys by shrinking life-sized objects, but then Tom points out the impossibility of finding enough everyday objects to shrink down into the large quantity of toys needed for Christmas. The Toymaker berates Grumio for his stupidity and throws the shrinking gun out the window in disgust.

Barnaby, who has been spying on them, takes the discarded shrinking gun and uses it to shrink the Toymaker and Tom. When Barnaby's henchmen see him threatening to shoot Tom a second time, they abandon Barnaby. They try to flee, but Barnaby shoots them and locks them up with Tom in a birdcage.

Barnaby forces Mary to marry him by threatening to destroy Tom, and he threatens to destroy the Toymaker if he refuses to preside over the wedding ceremony. While the Toymaker draws out the ceremony, Gonzorgo and Roderigo rescue Tom, and the three of them sneak away and return with an army of toy soldiers to fight Barnaby. Barnaby easily demolishes the toy soldiers with a toy cannon. He is about to obliterate Tom with another dose from the shrinking gun, but Mary destroys it with the toy cannon. The liquid splatters all over Barnaby and shrinks him to toy size. Tom, after challenging Barnaby to a duel with swords, stabs Barnaby, who falls from a great height into an empty toybox.

During the battle with Barnaby, Grumio creates and presents another new invention, one that returns miniaturized people and items to their original size. He immediately uses it on the Toymaker, Gonzorgo, and Roderigo, but not on Barnaby. Grumio is about to use it on Tom, but after reminding Grumio that he is the head toymaker and that Grumio is just his assistant, the Toymaker uses the invention on himself to return Tom to his natural size.

A few days later, Tom and Mary are married attended by all of Mother Goose Village including Gonzorgo and Roderigo as well as the trees from the Forest of No Return, and everyone lives happily ever after.

Development
In May 1955, Walt Disney announced that he would produce Babes in Toyland as an animated feature. By October 1956, Disney had assigned Bill Walsh to produce and Sidney Miller to direct the project. However, filming was delayed, and by August 1959, the project was retooled as a live-action television movie, making it Disney's first live-action musical. Ward Kimball had been tapped to produce and direct the project, while Mel Leven would write new lyrics.

With Kimball in charge, he reviewed the three scripts that had been written, all of which he found to be "terrible, absolutely nothing." Kimball had found the 1903 operetta script to be too complicated. In his script, he excised the orphans subplot and focused the story on a love triangle between Tom, Mary Contrary, and Barnaby. In the following months, Kimball worked alongside story artist Joe Rinaldi and effects animator Joshua Meador to ensure the film would be visually interesting. In June 1960, Disney told the Los Angeles Times: "We're updating the lyrics; the music, of course, is Victor Herbert's. March of the Toys will be done in animation. I'll be using fantasy with 'live' more and more. I've decided people should play people and shouldn't be animated – only the effects should."

While Disney was vacationing in Europe, Kimball was finalizing set designs and casting decisions, the latter of which required Disney's approval. "We decided on Ray Bolger, things like that, and [such decisions usually] were the provinces of Walt," Kimball later explained. Furthermore, with the studio's option on the film rights set to expire within a year, a studio publicist placed trade advertisements that promoted Kimball's work on the film, leading to Disney deciding that Kimball had got above himself. Kimball was also traveling to New York to scout for Broadway actors to cast in the film. According to Joe Hale, Kimball had wanted one actress for Mary, but Disney had insisted on Annette Funicello. Further casting disagreements led to Kimball being kicked off the film.

In January 1961, Jack Donohue was signed to direct, following his success on Broadway directing Top Banana and Mr. Wonderful, and for his work on TV specials for Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. While Kimball would still be credited as the screenwriter, he was relegated to directing the 15-minute toy soldier sequence. In March 1961, Disney said he wanted to create a film of the standard of The Wizard of Oz (1939). "It's like a Disney cartoon only with live actors", said one Disney executive.

Casting
In September 1960, it was reported that Disney had wanted to discuss Dean Jones for the lead role as Tom. By January 1961, Ray Bolger was cast as a villain for the first time in his career. Gene Sheldon, best known for his role of Bernardo in the Spanish Western television series Zorro, appeared alongside his Zorro co-star, Henry Calvin. Tommy Kirk played a support role. According to Annette Funicello, Tommy Sands beat out Michael Callan and James Darren to play the male lead.

Filming
Principal photography started on March 13, 1961, and was scheduled for three months. Preparation, rehearsing and pre-recording took three months. Tommy Kirk said he enjoyed making the film because of the opportunity to work with Ed Wynn: "I thought he was delightful and so did everyone else. You couldn't not like him. He was completely crazy and he was just as crazy offscreen as he was on. But it was all, of course, an act. He was a very serious, religious man in his own way, but he loved playing Ed Wynn, the perfect fool, the complete nut. And he was good at it. Actually I think the movie is sort of a klunker, especially when I compare it to the Laurel and Hardy Babes in Toyland. It's not a great film but it has a few cute moments. It's an oddity. But I'm not embarrassed about it like I am about some other movies I've made."

Funicello had a bad experience with William Fairchild, who had directed her in The Horsemasters (1961), but found Jack Donahue to be "simply wonderful." She also enjoyed the fact "it was the first, and unfortunately, I think, the last time I made a movie in which I actually danced something besides the Watusi or the swim."

Release
In conjunction with the film's release, Babes in Toyland was prominently featured on The Wonderful World of Color television program, with an episode titled "Backstage Party" airing on December 17, 1961. It was presented in two parts on The Wonderful World of Disney on December 21 and December 27, 1969. The film was released on DVD on September 3, 2002, by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. It was released on Blu-ray on December 11, 2012. It was added to the Disney+ subscription service.

Box office
Babes in Toyland earned $4.6 million in rentals from the United States and Canada.

Critical response
A. H. Weiler of The New York Times wrote in his review: "Let us say that Walt Disney's packaging of Victor Herbert's indestructible operetta is a glittering color and song and dance-filled bauble artfully designed for the tastes of the sub-teen set. Adults would have to be awfully young in mind to accept these picture-book caperings of the Mother Goose coterie as stirring stuff. This Toyland is closer to Disneyland, but who ever heard of an adult winning an argument on that issue?" Variety described the film as "an expensive gift, brightly-wrapped and intricately-packaged and is certain to be a fast-selling item in the Yuletide marketplace. A choice attraction for the pre-teen set, it will be an especially big draw among those in the five-to-ten age bracket." However, the review cautioned that older audiences "may be distressed to discover that quaint, charming 'Toyland' has been transformed into a rather gaudy and mechanical 'Fantasyland.' What actually emerged is 'Babes in Disneyland.'"

John L. Scott, reviewing for the Los Angeles Times, felt the film was "considerably more showy than either Herbert's stage original or the first film version done in the middle 30's; and older patrons may resent a loss of quaintness and a surplus of fantasy-whimsy. Nevertheless, the lavish, tinseled picture is a fine, appropriate holiday attraction for all but the sophisticated moviegoer." Harrison's Reports praised the film as "VERY GOOD", and further acknowledged Walt Disney for having "wrapped this one up in gay silk ribbons, beautiful costumes and brilliant splashes of color the envy of the rainbow rangers. Like a tender father, Disney has put this together with the soft sensitivity of a man in whose trust has been placed the dream world of trusting youngsters everywhere." Time wrote Babes in Toyland was "a wonderful piece of entertainment for children under five, but children over five who plan to see it will be well advised to take some Berlitz brushup lessons in baby talk." Additionally, the review was also critical for the modernized music, but praised the March of the Toys sequence.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 36% based on 11 reviews with an average rating of 4.74/10.

Disney's "Babes in Toyland Soldiers"
Among the most significant legacies of the film has been its influence on Disney's theme parks worldwide. The Babes in Toyland sets were showcased in Disneyland Park as an attraction following the film's release and the Toy Soldiers became an iconic symbol of the holidays at Disneyland, Walt Disney World Resort and other Disney Parks around the world, considered a "draw" and featured heavily in television, online and print advertising rivaling the castles and the famous Disney characters in appearances. Disney's Babes in Toyland Soldiers are the equivalent of the Rockettes' appearance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in that park guests and TV viewers expect to see them every year.

The soldiers also appear in the stop-motion nursery sequence in Walt Disney's 1964 musical fantasy Mary Poppins. They were designed by Disney animator and Imagineer Bill Justice, who with fellow Imagineer X Atencio, created the sequence in the film. Justice designed the park soldiers to match the Babes in Toyland movie soldiers exactly as they appeared in the 1961 film. They made their television debut on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color when Walt Disney presented the Disneyland Christmas parade in the episode, "Holiday Time at Disneyland."

Positive obligations

Positive obligations in human rights law denote a State's obligation to engage in an activity to secure the effective enjoyment of a fundamental right, as opposed to the classical negative obligation to merely abstain from human rights violations.

Classical human rights, such as the right to life or freedom of expression, are formulated or understood as prohibitions for the State to act in a way that would violate these rights. Thus, they would imply an obligation for the State not to kill, or an obligation for the State not to impose press censorship. Modern or social rights, on the other hand, imply an obligation for the State to become active, such as to secure individuals' rights to education or employment by building schools and maintaining a healthy economy. Such social rights are generally more difficult to enforce. This is due to the scarcity of public resources required to fulfill positive obligations. The ECtHR in Strasbourg ruled in Osman v. United Kingdom that a positive obligation "must be interpreted in a way which does not impose an impossible or disproportionate burden on the authorities". The German Federal Constitutional Court and the Constitutional Court of Portugal apply the "proviso of the possible" as a limitation of positive obligations.

Positive obligations transpose the concept of State obligations to become active into the field of classical human rights. Thus, in order to secure an individual's right to family life, the State may not only be obliged to refrain from interference therein, but positively to facilitate for example family reunions or parents' access to their children.

The most prominent field of application of positive obligations is Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Important cases have been taken to the ECtHR which over the last ten years has moved to making positive obligations especially in the field of transsexuals right to decide if they want surgery to convert their bodies as far as possible from one sex to the other. Cases such as Van Kuck v Germany 2003 made it positive obligation on EU states to provide sex change surgery and this was repeated in the L v Lithuania 2007 verdict and again in the Schlump v Switzerland 2009 verdict. Because of this the Swiss Government and many other removed the need for a person to prove they needed sex change surgery in 2010. However, there are still countries, especially the UK, which refuse to accept the legality of the positive obligations on them regardless of the fact that this makes them liable to being found guilty of Article 8 violations. See ECtHR Van Kuck v Germany 2003. See ECtHR L V Lithuania 2007. See ECtHR Schlumpf v Switzerland 2009.

In 2021, the ECtHR ruled in Fedotova and Others v. Russia that there was a positive obligation to recognize same-sex partnerships based on article 8.

The Orion (California State University, Chico)

The Orion is the student newspaper of California State University, Chico and produces 32 issues every year, 16 each semester. Its offices are in the basement of Plumas Hall on the Chico State campus. It has won numerous state and national awards, including several National Pacemakers. Its name is taken from the constellation Orion, as the newspaper is meant to be a "hunter of truth."

History
The Orion's first issue was published March 12, 1975. The offices were in the basement of Meriam Library. The newspaper was eight pages long and in tabloid format. There was another student paper on campus, The Wildcat, which was funded by the Associated Students.

Because of frequent conflicts, The Wildcat removed itself from the campus in 1977, leaving The Orion as Chico State's only student newspaper. Today, The Wildcat is known as the Chico News & Review.

The Orion moved from the Meriam Library basement to the Plumas Hall basement in the mid-1980s. The Orion won its first National Newspaper Pacemaker Award in 1989.

Operation
The Orion is published every Wednesday of the semester, except for fall semester finals week. During finals week of spring semester, a special summer issue is produced. Each issue was broadsheet format until 2015 and changed to tabloid format. The paper is divided into news, opinion, calendar, arts and sports sections.

The Orion has separate staffs for editorial content, business/advertising, and design. Editorial content (and the paper overall) is headed by the editor in chief and the managing editor, business and advertising is headed by the business manager, and design is headed by the art director.

In editorial content, there are four specific departments, covering different types of events: news, opinion, sports and features. Each section is headed by an editor, who oversees a staff of reporters. Editors choose one of the reporters to be an assistant editor. There are also three more departments: copy proofreads and copy edits stories, photo produces picture to be included with the stories and online produces content in conjunction with the other departments for production on the newspaper's Web site.

Design is divided into two departments: editorial and advertising. These departments are headed by a design manager. Editorial design helps layout and creates graphics for editorial content, while advertising design designs advertisements for the paper that are sold by the business staff. Advertising design is also assigned a member of the copy department who proofreads ads.

The business department oversees the financial aspects of the paper, selling and placing advertisements, handling costs, and helping the paper stay in budget.

Awards
Numerous state and national awards have been won by The Orion over the years. A partial list includes:

 * Associated Collegiate Press National Newspaper Pacemaker Award: 1988–89, 1992–93, 1994–95, 1995–96, 1996–97, 1998–99, 2002–03, 2003–04, 2004–05, 2009.
 * Associated Collegiate Press National Newspaper of the Year: 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003.
 * Associated Collegiate Press National Convention Best of Show: 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2012.
 * California Newspaper Publishers Association Best University Newspaper: 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008.
 * Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Award National Winner: 2000, 2004.

On October 29, 2005, The Orion was inducted into the Associated Collegiate Press Hall of Fame.

Fuxin

Fuxin is a prefecture-level city in northwestern Liaoning province, People's Republic of China, bordering the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to the north. As of the 2020 census, its decreasing total population was 1,647,280 inhabitants (1,819,339 in 2010), of whom 716,494 lived in the built-up (or metro) area, encompassing the four urban districts, collectively known as 'Fuxin City'.

Administration
Fuxin has direct administration over 7 county-level divisions: 5 districts, 1 county and 1 autonomous county:

Geography and climate
Fuxin has a monsoon-influenced humid continental climate (Köppen Dwa), with long, cold but dry winters and hot, humid summers. A majority of the annual precipitation falls in July and August alone.

Economy
Fuxin is a mining center in an agricultural region, producing mostly coal and agate. Fuxin is known as China's 'Agate City', with 50% of the nation's known deposits of the mineral being located there. The city also accounts for more than 90% of the country's agate products.

The city suffers from the over-mining of coal, which is low in supply while fundamental to Fuxin's economy. As the coal mines run dry, Fuxin is trying to find other industries to keep its economy going. Measures taken have included the development of a part of the city as a 'Special Economic Zone', by which the city hopes to attract international investment.

Fuxin was identified as the first city in mainland China with exhausted resources in 2001. Similarly to Hegang, Heilongjiang, where house prices were too low for years, 'cabbage-priced' houses in Fuxin, Liaoning Province, also came under scrutiny in 2020. According to reports by China Business Network and Securities Times, many houses have prices lower than 75 dollars per sqm even for a house with all the necessary furniture. https://stock.stcn.com/djjd/202008/t20200817_2229969.html

Foreign Investment in 2009
In 2009, Fuxin approved 25 foreign funded enterprises and 2 joint-venture projects. The total value of the contracted funds in these investments exceeded US$143 million. and the foreign direct investment for that year reached US$64.12 million, up 24% over the previous year. This sum exceeded the Liaoning provincial target for foreign investment by 17%. In addition, in 7 of the projects, contracted funds were in excess of ten million dollars.

Foreign Direct Investment has enabled the development of new key industries to replace mining. The key industries have made new breakthroughs in foreign direct investment. The Wind Power Industry, which accounted for more than 70% of the total amount of FDI in 2009, has become the main focus of the whole city's FDI.

Education

 * Liaoning Technical University
 * Fuxin College

Transportation
Fuxin is served by the China National Highway 101, which connects Beijing to Shenyang. G25 Changchun–Shenzhen Expressway makes Fuxin into NTHS system. The G2512 Fuxin–Jinzhou Expressway connects Jinzhou and Fuxin.

As regards rail transport, Fuxin is well-connected to the major cities in North and Northeastern China, such as Beijing, Tianjin and Shenyang by a number of trains.

The city is also now connected to Shanghai and the booming Chinese East coast region by a train that runs directly between Shanghai and Fuxin.

Sister city

Graham Yallop

Graham Neil Yallop (born 7 October 1952) is a former Australian international cricketer. Yallop played Test and One Day International cricket for the Australia national cricket team between 1976 and 1984, captaining the side briefly during the World Series Cricket era in the late 1970s. A technically correct left-handed batsman, Yallop played domestically for Victoria, invariably batting near the top of the order and led Victoria to two Sheffield Shield titles. He was the first player to wear a full helmet in a Test match.

Early life
Yallop was born at Balwyn, Victoria in 1952 and played for Richmond age-group sides in the Dowling Shield during the late 1960s. In the summer of 1970/71, he made his grade cricket debut for the club, as well as playing in several games for the Victorian Schools Team at the Australian Schoolboys Cricket Championships. He later reflected, "When we were playing under-16 cricket in Victoria, you're playing against the best under-16 players in the state. So that prepared you for your future in Premier Cricket, I thought that was a very good grounding."

Initially more of a bowler, Yallop's coach at Richmond was former England international Frank Tyson, who had emigrated to Australia. "He helped me enormously" Yallop later wrote; "in those days, I was more a bowler than a batsman, and he turned me around. He worked with me for quite a few years to get me up to speed with my batting." In early 1971 Yallop toured Sri Lanka in an Australian Schoolboys side; he averaged 67.75 runs per inning in the three schoolboy internationals, the best of any Australian batsman.

Domestic debut
Yallop made his senior cricket debut for Victoria in December 1972, scoring a half-century on debut against New South Wales. Although he spent most of the season as 12th man in the Victoria side, he scored a second half-century against Western Australia.

In 1973 Yallop played for Walsall in the Birmingham League. He also played some games for the Marylebone Cricket Club.

Yallop did not play first-class cricket during the 1973–74 season, but returned to the Victoria side during the 1974–75 summer. He made his List A cricket debut in the Gillette Cup and scored 538 first-class runs during the season at an average of 38.28 runs per innings. These included scores of 34 and 30 against the touring England side and his debut first class century (100 not out) against South Australia.

In 1975 Yallop again played league cricket in England, scoring more than 3,000 runs for North Birmingham. In 22 games for Walsall he averaged 113 runs an innings and scored three centuries.

Test cricketer
After starting the 1975–76 season slowly (4 against Queensland, 20 and 8 against the West Indies, 21 and 6 against South Australia), Yallop scored two half-centuries against South Australia (79 and 62) and made scores of 108 and 95 against New South Wales. As a result he was called into the Australian side for the fourth Test match against the touring West Indies at the Sydney Cricket Ground, replacing Rick McCosker who had made 20 runs in six innings in the first three Tests of the series. Yallop was surprised at the call up, but said that it was "a great thrill and I'm determined to make the most of my chance".

The dropping of McCosker was not popular with Australian captain Greg Chappell and other members of the side, and Yallop was put in to bat at number three, McCosker's usual place in the batting order. In his memoirs Yallop wrote that he had "no doubts that certain members of that team wanted me to fail and therefore prove that the selectors had erred. Normally, a new batsman could expect to be cradled into the side and be 'hidden' down the order until he gets the feel of the test atmosphere." He scored 16 and then 16 not out on debut, and was retained in the side for the fifth Test at Adelaide, scoring 47 and 43 and featuring in century partnerships in each innings, with Ian Redpath and Alan Turner.

McCosker returned to the side for the sixth test at the MCG, batting at number three, but Yallop kept his place; batting down the order at number six he made 57 in the first innings and did not bat in the second. He had averaged 44 runs per innings in the three Tests. Bob Simpson later wrote that when Yallop made his test debut he "was ostracised by the ruling team clique at the time and was never allowed to feel at home in the team. Their attitude seemed to that Yallop had had a privileged upbringing and was something of a spoilt brat. They also felt that he was a little faint hearted against fast bowlers."

Following the retirement of Ian Chappell and Redpath, Yallop had a chance to consolidate his place in the Australian team in 1976–77. Chappell wrote at the start of the summer that he felt the batsman "had a head start" over his rivals "with a couple of steady Test performances last year, but he still has a lot of work ahead and will have to spread his run scoring around Australian grounds a little more consistently than in the past."

In November 1976 The Age wrote that Yallop and Ian Davis were "the leading candidates" for the number three spot left vacant by Ian Chappell's retirement.

However Yallop again started the summer slowly with scores of 10, 19, 16 and 1, and with Doug Walters returning from injury and Davis promoted to opener, Yallop lost his place in the side. By the time he regained form, Kim Hughes had become the established batsman in "reserve". In January 1977, Ian Chappell selected a hypothetical Ashes tour squad for Cricketer magazine that excluded Yallop, writing that he had not "made enough runs off the Melbourne ground to prove he has the goods" and that "I still maintain that Yallop was picked prematurely for Australia. Yallop was not selected for the tour of England in 1977 and he was not offered a contract with World Series Cricket - in contrast with several other batters who had not played test cricket (Martin Kent, Trevor Chappell, Bruce Laird, Rob Langer).

Test recall
The advent of World Series Cricket (WSC) during 1977 meant that a number of leading Australian cricketers were banned from playing for the national side. Yallop took over the captaincy of Victoria after Richie Robinson signed to play WSC. Bob Simpson came out of retirement to captain Australia over the 1977–78 summer, but Yallop was not selected for the first Test against the touring Indians, once more having started the summer not in top form. Even after a pair of centuries against New South Wales he was not selected until the fifth and final Test of the summer. With the series standing at 2–2, Yallop was selected as vice-captain, scoring 121 runs in Australia's first innings, his maiden Test century as Australian won the series. He made a total of 729 first-class runs that summer, at an average of 56.07 runs per innings.

1978 West Indies Tour
The Australian side to tour the West Indies was selected at the same time as the fifth Test and Yallop was included, although the vice-captain on the West Indies tour was Jeff Thompson.

Yallop scored 24 and 28 against the Leeward Islands, and 12 (off 11 balls) in the first ODI. He made 66 and 44 not out against Trinidad and Tobago, helping Australia run down a six wicket victory. For the first test, Yallop made only 2 in the first innings but scored 81 in the second, easily Australia's top score (the West Indies won by an innings and 106 runs). Yallop missed the next tour game, against Barbados, but played in the second test, making 47 and 14.

Yallop scored 118 in a tour game against Guyana when his jaw was broken by a bouncer from Colin Croft. He missed the third Test (David Ogilvie replaced him), which was won by Australia.

Yallop returned to the Australian team for the second ODI, making 7. In the fourth test he scored 75 in the first innings but only 18 in the second as Australia collapsed and lost by 198 runs. Yallop played against Jamaica, making 5 and 58. In the final test he scored 57 and 23 not out. His series tally was 317 Test runs at an average of 45.29.

Australian Captain: "A lamb to the slaughter"
At the beginning of the 1978–79 season, the Australian Cricket Board (ACB) decided that Bob Simpson should not continue as captain and Yallop was installed as his replacement ahead of the first Test of the Ashes series against England. The Australian side was inexperienced at an international level. According to Christian Ryan, "Most observers suspected John Inverarity, wily and versatile, would have been a more astute choice" than Yallop; the Australian selectors, however, did not have faith in Inverarity's ability at Test level.

Yallop made what he later described as a "flippant" prediction that his team would win the Ashes 6–0 and was "bewildered" when his "flippant" prediction was reported straight-faced by the media and taken seriously by the English players. Despite a century in Australia's second innings of the first Test, the team was beaten by seven wickets in the series opener. A further loss in the second Test was followed by what was to be Yallop's only victory as a Test captain in the third match at the MCG.

Two more losses followed, and Australia played the final Test of the summer with the Ashes already lost. At the SCG Australia were dismissed for 198, of which Yallop scored 121; the next highest score was 16 and Yallop later said this was his greatest Test match innings. England made 308 for their first innings; Australia collapsed for 141 and with England needing only 34 runs for victory, Yallop elected to open the bowling in England's second innings with the old ball, to the consternation of England's captain Mike Brearley. Yallop won the man of the match award but Australia had lost the series 5–1. In his account of the series, The Ashes Retained, Brearley wrote that the English players nicknamed Yallop "Banzai" because of his tendency to adopt suicidally attacking fields at all times, when on occasion a more defensive approach may have prevented the England team's free scoring.

Despite the series loss to England, Yallop led Australia against Pakistan in March 1978, again losing the first Test of the two-match series. He injured his calf in a club match, leading Richmond to victory in a district semi final, which forced him to miss the second Test match. Australia finally reversed their losing streak, with Kim Hughes captaining the side, prompting the selectors to drop Yallop as captain in favour of Hughes.

Lambs To the Slaughter
At the end of the summer, a book came out under Yallop's name about his season's experiences, entitled Lambs To The Slaughter. On page one he commented that: "I should be bitter, but I am not. Disappointed, yes, because after so many heartbreaks this was a rather ruthless end. I was the fall guy, the player who carried the ACB flag all summer against all the odds." Chapter headings included "Sacked", "The First Killing", "Skinned Alive", and "Slaughtered". The book had been, however, written by a ghost writer and it transpired that Yallop had not read it prior to publication; he later began legal action to stop sections of the book being published, but this was withdrawn.

Post-captaincy
Yallop kept his place in the team after losing the captaincy, playing in the 1979 Cricket World Cup and all six Tests on the tour of India in late 1979, the last Australian series before the WSC players were welcomed back into the national side. In the third Test of the series he top scored in Australia's first innings with 89 and in the fifth Test opened the batting and scored a first innings 167, his highest Test score to date. He was retained as an opener for the sixth Test, top-scoring with another half-century in Australia's first innings.

When WSC players returned to the Australian Test team, Yallop was dropped, although he was retained as Victorian captain despite Richie Robinson, captain in 1976–77, returning to the side. He played in a single One Day International (ODI) during the 1979–80 season and was selected for the tour of Pakistan in early 1980.

Yallop regained his place in the Test team for the first Test of the three-match series, again playing as an opener alongside Bruce Laird. He dropped down the order to play at number five in the second Test and scored 172, his highest first-class score to date; the innings included a 217 run partnership with Greg Chappell. He retained his place for the 1980 tour of England for the second Centenary Test.

While in England, Yallop resigned as captain of Victoria stating that he "would like to continue to play for Australia as long as I possibly can, and I want to put all my efforts into playing cricket for Australia" and that he felt he "couldn't justify being Victorian captain and giving the wholehearted effort required, while still giving my best efforts." Despite this he was not picked for Australia during the 1980–81 summer, losing his spot to Doug Walters who was experiencing a resurgence of form, whilst Yallop's had dropped off again.

In February 1981, Ian Chappell included Yallop in his suggested Ashes squad for the 1981 tour of England saying he was "the best middle order batsman outside the test team" but that he "needs to learn that a bit of pain has to be suffered to consistently succeed in Test cricket." He was selected for the side to tour England, a report calling him "one of the few class batsman in the country". He played in all six Tests on the tour as England retained the Ashes. Much was made of Yallop's susceptibility to fast bowling because of an unusual incident during the fourth Test of the 1981 tour. Skipper Kim Hughes tried to protect Yallop from Bob Willis's bowling by controlling the strike, even though Yallop had not asked him to. Commentating on the match, Richie Benaud called Hughes's actions "as curious a captaincy decision as I have ever seen".

Yallop began the 1981–82 season strongly and played in the first Test against Pakistan but then suffered a back injury and did not play for Australia for the rest of the summer. He returned to the Victorian side in December and scored 647 first-class during the season but was overlooked for the Australian tour of Pakistan in 1982, the selectors preferring to take Greg Ritchie and Wayne Phillips. It was the first official overseas tour Yallop had missed since the 1977 Ashes.

Career peak: 1982-84
Yallop was reappointed as Victoria's captain for the 1982–83 season and enjoyed a golden run of form that summer. He scored three centuries, including making 246 runs against Queensland, his first double century, and made a total of 1,418 first class runs at an average of 67.52 runs per innings, beating Bill Ponsford's record for the most runs in an Australian domestic season.

With the Australian middle-order batters all scoring consistently, he was, however, unable to break into the international side during the home summer.

Yallop was selected on the 1983 tour of Sri Lanka after Kim Hughes chose not to go on the tour. He scored 98 in the only Test match on the tour in a comfortable Australian victory.

His form continued in the One Day International series, including making three half-centuries in the four matches on the tour,

Yallop was chosen in Australia's squad for the 1983 Cricket World Cup in England where he performed well, making another two half-centuries, although the team did not advance beyond the group stage of the competition.

1983-84 vs Pakistan
Yallop's best performances as a Test cricketer came during the 1983–84 season, when Pakistan toured Australia. In the first Test he made 141, taking part in a 259 run partnership with debutant Wayne Phillips, an Australian record for any wicket against Pakistan.

In a tour match against the Pakistanis he scored 220 for Victoria before scoring 268 in the fourth Test at the MCG, his highest first-class score to date. He featured in partnerships of 203 with Hughes for the third wicket and 185 with Greg Matthews for the seventh wicket, both record stands for Australia against Pakistan. His 268 was, at the time, the highest score by an Australian against Pakistan and the seventh highest score by an Australian in any Test match.

A contemporary report said "that Yallop should be the celebrity of the Australian team demonstrates again cricket's delightful uncertainty." It quoted Arthur Morris who called him "a beautiful player of spin and medium pace" and Lindsay Hassett who said "I can't think of any player who has been treated worse." Bob Simpson called the innings "one of the finest I have seen" and said "Yallop has been one of the most maligned and poorly treated players in my experience in cricket."

A score of 30 in the fifth Test brought Yallop's series aggregate to 554 runs at an average of 92.33, comfortably the best result of any Australian batsman. (Although Man of the Series Award was given to Geoff Lawson.) His summer's total was 1,132 first-class runs at 113.20.

Yallop then played in Australia's ODI side against the West Indies. During the game, Yallop strained his left knee in a fielding mishap when trying to stop a boundary from Viv Richards. Yallop came out to bat when Australia was 8-153 and managed to score 13 runs off 28 balls before being dismissed. He was ruled out of the ODI side and was replaced by David Hookes.

Yallop was selected for the 1983–84 tour of the West Indies, but Dean Jones was placed on standby in case Yallop's injury did not recover. Yallop ultimately did not make the tour and Jones played instead.

In July 1984 Yallop was one of the sixteen Australian players contracted by the Australian Cricket Board and he was selected on the 14-man ODI tour of India. In the ODIs Yallop, batting down the order, made 22, 32 and 42.

For the 1984-85 summer Yallop scored 14 for Victoria in an ODI game. Against Queensland he made 0 and 2 but he was picked in the first Test against the touring West Indies. He scored 2 and 1. Yallop then withdrew himself from the Victorian Shield team to play Tasmania, claiming a knee injury.

South African rebel tours
On his return to domestic cricket, Yallop scored 21 and 0 against Queensland and 34 and 1 against South Australia.

However scores of 58 and 125 against New South Wales, and 51 and 22 against Tasmania led to him being discussed as a possible selection for the 1985 Ashes. Despite later scoring 147 against New South Wales he was not selected for the tour.

Believing that his time in the Australian side was at an end, Yallop joined the rebel Australian team led by Kim Hughes which played in apartheid era South Africa. Yallop was Hughes' vice captain in the 1985–86 team. "A number of us were given the word that the selectors didn't see us as having any future as Test players," said Yallop. "We were told – quietly, of course – that our futures weren't exactly rosy. So when the approach came, we were interested." South Africa was subject to a sporting boycott due to the apartheid regime and, along with the other players who joined the team, Yallop was banned for two years from Australian first-class cricket, and for three years from international cricket.

Yallop's first summer in South Africa started well with 35 and 62 against Orange Free State. However it was not successful overall, only making 272 first class runs at an average of 27.2 with a top score of 62; in the unofficial test matches that he played Yallop scored 51 and 24, and 20 and 6. He scored 184 one day runs at an average of 26.28 with two half centuries.

Hughes publicly criticised Yallop's contribution, saying his "unavailability has cost us dearly on tour. Had Yallop been fit and in the right frame of mind ... you've got to want to play. As vice-captain you've got a huge responsibility. People such as [Mick] Taylor, who had no reputations, have made one for themselves, while Yallop, who had all the reputation, has not really done anything."

He played better the following year when he was no longer the vice-captain of the side, scoring 552 runs at an average of 61.33, with a top score of 182. He played one test scoring 36 and 26.

Yallop later said he had "mixed emotions" about the rebel tours. "Knowing now what it was like there, there were certain things they kept from us, certain things we weren't meant to see but did. But hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Certainly we enjoyed it while we were there. But reflecting on it, there's mixed emotions. Disappointing thing, politics." At the time Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke was highly critical of the tour, saying that "I and this government will not change our view about that obnoxious system of apartheid. We will not change our position as to it being not right for people to collect themselves and deem themselves an Australian team, to give aid and comfort to that regime in South Africa… which is so blatantly and desperately seeking international legitimacy via the medium of apparent international competition." Hawke called the players "traitors" whilst others labelled them "mercenaries and pariahs".

After two seasons in South Africa, Yallop returned to the relative obscurity of district cricket in Melbourne, playing for the South Melbourne and Ringwood clubs. He never played first-class cricket again: the majority of the rebel tourists were embraced by their old states but not the Victorians. Yallop says they were "shunned by the Victorian Cricket Association... We knew the VCA wouldn't pick us. It was disappointing, we could've given a lot to the game at that stage; we weren't that old. But we were certainly shunned by the association."

Appraisal
Undoubtedly, Yallop was more at home against slow bowling and was considered one of the best players of spinners during an era when few existed. Although not ideally suited to the one-day game, Yallop's ODI figures are good and he played in the World Cups of 1979 and 1983 and toured India in 1984. He was a safe fielder behind the wicket and was often positioned in the gully. He averaged better than one century every five Tests and never went more than six consecutive Tests without a hundred.

As a leader, he was "a fatally flawed, forlorn captain... He was unimaginative, tactically unsophisticated and lacked the respect of his players." Mike Brearley, Yallop's opposing captain during the 1978–79 series, noted that Yallop used to "... slide his back foot to and fro in a grandmotherly shuffle ... More than most Test players, Yallop can range from the inept to the masterly." On his relationship with the Australian selectors however, Christian Ryan writes that "he is not the only Australian batsman of the last 25 years to have been mistreated by selectors... But Yallop was the first, and arguably copped the rawest deal, of them all.... Graham Yallop in three words? Unlucky Uncelebrated Unmissed seem to fit best, more's the pity."

Post-cricket career
In 1989 Yallop was fined $1,000 for selling alcohol at his cricket centre. In 1994 he was sacked as manager of a sports centre but successfully appealed the decision.

In 2014–15 Yallop was appointed chief coach of Elwood Cricket Club. He has worked closely with Indonesian cricket, coaching and fund raising, including donating one of his baggy green caps for auction for its development. In appreciation, the premier cricket ground in Jakarta was named the Graham Yallop Oval in his honour.

Fair use rationale
It was suggested that Image:Sergebac7thcentury.jpg can be used in place of this image, however, that image, though public domain, does not give the same information as this one. This image is not intended merely to show what the subjects look like. It was created by a gay artist specifically to present the two men as gay, which was not (presumably) the intention of the creator of Image:Sergebac7thcentury.jpg. The artist's portrayal of the men as gay is expressed in the content this image, making it substantially different from the public domain image, and conveying substantially different information. Thus, as it uniquely illustrates the articles' discussion of the artist's representation of the subjects, it is not replaceable by the public domain image.

Turbo button

On IBM PC compatible computers, the turbo button selects one of two run states: the default "turbo" speed or a reduced speed closer to the Intel 8086 CPU. It was relatively common on computers using the Intel 80286, 80386 and 80486 processors, from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s. The name is inspired by turbocharger, a device which increases an engine's power and efficiency. When pressed, the "turbo" button is intended to let a computer run at the highest speed for which it had been designed.

Purpose
With the introduction of CPUs which ran faster than the original 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 used in the IBM Personal Computer, programs which relied on the CPU's frequency for timing were executing faster than intended. Games in particular were often rendered unplayable, due to the reduced time allowed to react to the faster game events. To restore compatibility, the "turbo" button was added. Disengaging turbo mode slows the system down to a state compatible with original 8086/8088 chips.

Switching
On most systems, turbo mode was with the button pushed in, but since the button could often be wired either way, on some systems it was the opposite. The turbo button could be linked to a turbo LED or two-digit segmented display on the system case, although in some cases, the indicated frequency (in MHz) was not a measure of the actual processor clocks, but the two "fast" and "slow" display options set by jumpers on the motherboard.

Some systems also supported keyboard combinations -- and -- for switching turbo mode on and off, such as the Packard Bell 486ES 3x3 (the 4x4 and MT models had a dedicated Turbo button). With all the 486ES models—those with and without a turbo button—the power light would show green in normal (“Turbo”) mode, and orange in Slow mode. ITT Xtra used -- to toggle.

Some keyboards had a turbo button as well, located near right. Unlike the turbo button that was common on computer cases, the turbo button on the keyboards did not control the clock rate of the CPU; rather, it controlled the keyboard repeat rate.

Turbo display
The turbo display is used to display the current frequency (MHz) speed of the CPU, this is usually done by a two or three-digit digital LED display. The displayed speed can vary depending on the CPU's frequency, and the settings of the computer, however, it is not measuring the frequency of the CPU, it displays preset numbers when turbo is turned on or off, and these numbers can be changed with two (or three) banks of jumpers on the back of the display, each bank changing each digit, as their purpose is to connect LED's in the display to (or disconnect from) power. The layout of the banks can vary.

Use
The feature was relatively common on systems running 286 to 486 CPUs, and less common on Pentium era computers. The frequency displays largely disappeared or were reprogrammed to display "HI"/"LO", "99", or were replaced with a three-digit display when CPU speeds reached 100 MHz, since most systems only had a two-digit display.

As new computers continued to get faster and had a wide variety of available speeds, it became impossible for software to rely on specific CPU speed. As software began to rely on other timing methods, the turbo feature became mostly irrelevant to new programs.

Software implementations
While the implementation of an actual hardware turbo button has disappeared on modern machines, software developers have compensated with software replacements. One example is DOSBox, which offers an adjustable emulation rate. Modern PCs that support ACPI power management may provide software controls to switch ACPI performance states or other CPU throttling modes. This is used for power saving or to prevent CPU overheating rather than for compatibility, as modern applications use the real-time clock for timing instead of the CPU clock.

Inverted button behavior
Some computers have wired the turbo button in a way that if the button is pressed in, the computer is running in the slower speed. While the turbo button can be configured this way, this is not the intended way of using the button, as the computer is intended to run at full speed when the button is pressed in, hence the name turbo. This caused a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about the purpose and naming of the button in retro computer forums and communities. This issue can be solved by reconnecting the wires in the correct way on either the display, or on the motherboard of the computer. If the turbo LED is on, that always means the CPU is running at full speed, regardless of how the switch is wired.

Archive 1
Has now been created —Preceding unsigned comment added by UkrNole 485 (talk • contribs) 15:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Paterno
The first paragraph of this article refers to Paterno, without saying who that might be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.20.20.2 (talk) 14:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Howard
Did he play football at Howard (Samford) too? If so it should be added to his infobox 24.178.191.116 (talk) 19:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Florida State
This section especially (but other sections as well) have several phrases and sentences that are unsourced or are written in a conversational style as opposed to a more factual treatment. "[E]njoyed by drunken college football fans" and "They believe they will eventually get back to the top" standout in this section. There are similar examples in other sections. "It is a great honor to receive such an astonishing award" in the following section would be a further example. Bobbyuggles (talk) 04:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Division title highlighted in blue
I understand they tied for it, but this is misleading. It leaves the impression that they qualified for the ACC title game, and they did not.

Also, "tied" does not clear this up, as you could tie and qualify for the game. So I think 1 (t) without the blue informs the reader without misleading him, so it shouldn't be blue. Theknightswhosay (talk) 03:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above. When I saw that that I thought, "Wait a minute, they didn't play in the title game last year. They were tied for first, but they lost the tie breaker, hence they were not the division champion. The shading should be removed. Rreagan007 (talk) 17:58, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Coaching record
On what basis is Bobby Bowden said to be one victory behind Joe Paterno as an FBS coach? 31 of his victories came at Howard. Vidor (talk) 00:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. Bowden is either 32 division-I victories behind Paterno, or both of them are many overall college football victories behind John Gagliardi (and others.) Too many of the media seem to be relying on the FSU sports information department's point of view. The coaching record section should point this misconception out instead of confirming it. SowelBlack (talk) 15:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)SowelBlack
 * It's not "FSU sports information department's point of view," it's the NCAA's point of view. Check out the archives, we've had this discussion before. "According to the NCAA criteria for determining the winningest Division I-FBS (formerly Division I-A) coach, individuals qualify if they have coached at least ten seasons for a Division I-FBS school, and any victories against four-year colleges or universities count towards their total. Thus, Bowden's 31 victories coaching at Samford from 1959 to 1962 (then known as Howard College) count towards his total even though Samford is now in Division I-FCS (formerly Division I-AA). This is a longstanding NCAA policy, applying also to calculating coaching records in other sports. It has been defended by the NCAA because it would be hard to draw a clear-cut distinction given the number of schools that switch between Division I-A and I-AA."AriGold (talk)

notice it says AGAINST four-year colleges, such as the small warm-up games big schools tend to have week 1. It doesn't say AT; at least not the part you're posting [ak]

14-win penalty by NCAA
No offense to Bowden fans, but you can't have it both ways. If you're going to hide behind the NCAA rules that he can count wins when he was a coach of non-Division IA schools (Samford, Howard), then you have to face the NCAA ruling that 14 of his FSU wins were ruled to be taken away from his "win box". Either you abide by what the NCAA recognizes or you don't. Either way, the final count can't be more than 375. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.136.130 (talk) 04:28, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

As long as this penalty is under appeal, those 14 wins should be counted. Ryoung 122 13:29, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Look at the source of this story:

The NCAA found no evidence that Bowden and other Florida State coaches played a role in the scandal or knew that cheating was occurring.

It says "The NCAA FOUND NO EVIDENCE THAT BOWDEN...PLAYED A ROLE IN THE SCANDAL."

He coached those games, and Florida State won (or lost) them...they should count as part of his record. Ryoung 122 13:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Whether the NCAA recognizes them or not, they were still wins. There needs to be an asterick or something.

The 22 wins as head coach of South GA College aren't included then 389 (375*) figures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.40.199.71 (talk) 17:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Other Honors
Somewhere it would seem useful to note that Florida State University's Bobby Bowden Field at Doak S. Campbell Stadium was named for him (by an act of the Florida legislature), as well as installing a 20-foot wide by 30-foot high stained glass window with a picture of him in that stadium and erecting a 9-foot-tall bronze statue of him outside the stadium's Coyle E. Moore Athletic Center. ☺ Dick Kimball (talk) 17:07, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Bowden was fired
Serious error in second paragraph re “...Bowden stepped down only a few days after his 80th birthday”. As Bowden has said himself and as numerous media reports said at the time, Bowden was fired by FSU President T.J. Wetherell. No need to sugarcoat history just because he was one of the greatest coaches ever. (refs Andy Staples, Sports Illustrated Dec. 1, 2009; Burton Dewitt, Bleacher Report, Dec. 1, 2009; CBS News, Aug. 24, 2010; ESPN.com Aug. 26, 2010). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skip30 (talk • contribs) 21:17, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Paterno controversy over wins
Paterno’s total wins are controversial due to the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal. Seems strange the authors here don’t want that referenced. 2601:584:101:B0D0:F8FE:1C7D:FD36:F704 (talk) 16:14, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Stop creating controversies where there are none. This is the Bobby Bowden article. Your first sentence, and the content you added, are about Joe Paterno. His article is thataway, and you'll notice that Sandusky is mentioned right in the lead. Alyo  (chat·edits) 19:28, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

When I add the individual season wins, I get 117. Subtracting the 6 forfeits, 111. 184.15.118.191 (talk) 17:14, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Jim_Karygiannis
Some government figure from Greece. Notability not established. Radiant! 09:27, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * From Greece, but a Canadian government figure. Together with John McKay, also VfD'd, this looks like someone is trying to write pages on either every Canadian MP, or just the ones for his area.  Like that one, this doesn't seem to say anything notably encyclopaedic about this fellow.  A cautious Delete.
 * OK, you've convinced me - you're right, elected parliamentarians are notable. Keep and cleanup - I'll try to remember to drop a note to whoever's making these things that we really would appreciate knowing what country he held all these positions in, though. TSP 01:11, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, vote changed as I noted it would be in struck out section by RickK's explanation. HyperZonk 16:03, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC) Also a weak delete. Are MPs encyclopedic in and of themselves? Perhaps when the Honorable Gentleman has been a minister himself, or at least the chairperson of one of the committees he sits on. Now, however, probably not quite ready for wikipedia. I will retract, however, if members of the US House of Representatives have been deemed to be encyclopedic without any other accomplishments. HyperZonk 17:08, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, entry-level pol. Keep, for now. Wyss 18:17, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. We've started getting articles on every US Member of Congress, past and present, and nobody has indicated that those are VfD-able.  I hate to think of having an article on every parliamentarian from every country in the world, but I don't see where we can draw the line.  RickK 20:38, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Members of national legislatures are probably notable.  This one is also a Parliamentary Secretary, which makes him a member of the Privy Council. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 21:20, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think it would be great if we had an article on every parlamentarian from every country in the world. Why shouldn't we? In my opinion an elected member of parliament is definitely notable. (Although the parallel has been used too many times on this page already, I must say I have a hard time seeing them lose a notability contest with Pokemon characters...) Furthermore, this particular one has held his post for 17 years. I have wikified the article and included a wikilink to the Canadian House of Commons and his electoral district. Alarm 21:23, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Alarm and others. / u p p l a n d 21:31, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Agree with Uppland who agrees with Alarm and others.  GRider\talk 22:21, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, what Alarm said. Kevintoronto 20:11, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep elected Members of Parliament. I note from the history that as of its original nomination, the article was poorly written and didn't make Karygiannis' notability very clear at all; I'd otherwise have to invoke "different rules for Canadians" yet again. Bearcat 00:21, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, obviously. CJCurrie 00:44, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Delete nominator - David Gerard 22:55, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Censoring people who disagree with you goes against the very idea of Wikipedia. Note that I didn't even vote to delete him, I merely put the matter up for discussion. Please be civil. Radiant! 12:21, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Neuroscience of religion

biotheology?
I propose we rename this page from biotheology to neurotheology. A quick google test yeilds 10,700 for neurotheology and 1,210 for biotheology.--Nectarflowed 09:27, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Done. Loremaster 14:46, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I further propose that the page be completely separated from biotheology - biotheology is to do with things like emergence, and mechanisms of creation and the concept of order. Whilst neurotheology is one aspect of biotheology, it is only one of many. Biotheology is quite a new field, and the term is itself only recently emerging. I propose to create a stub article for biotheology, and put a few references to begin with, and the article can be updated as the field develops. Oliver Low 16:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

After a year or so with no objections, I did this. Neurotheology and biotheology have diverged considerably. Oliver Low (talk) 01:54, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Franco Rol's neurotheology
I removed the section on Franco Rol & the European Society of NeuroTheology (SENT): a google search for the phrase in quotes yielded less than ten results. It is not widespread enough to be included in an encyclopedia article.--Nectarflowed (talk) 06:59, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pseudoscience?
"Some of these uses, according to the mainstream scientific community, qualify as pseudoscience"

Similarly, since atrologers use astronomy in ways that qualify as pseudoscience, we should include astronomy in the pseudoscience category. --Memenen 06:07, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I have recategorized neurotheology as a protoscience rather than a pseudoscience. Loremaster 19:30, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree. This article focuses on the scientific uses for which it is most widely known (e.g. the Newsweek article). --Nectar T 23:01, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I hope I missed irony or context here. When astrologers use astronomy they do Scientific misconduct to make the protoscience astrology look like the science that astonomy is but it is not so they downgrade astology to Junk science. Astronomy is science that originated in astrology. Its problem is the general assumption that the laws of nature are universal and that its objects of study are so far and big that reproduction and verification are more difficult. The physical influence of all planets on the Earth is statistically insignificant. The spiritual influence of planets on Earth is pseudoscience. --Ollj 20:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC) Category_talk:Paranormal --Ollj 20:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

If it walks like a duck, quaks like a duck and if it has "-theology", "religion", "spirituality" and"placebo" written on it it is religion or Spirituality! If it wants to be a science but fails in verification it is also pseudoscience! (definitions and categorisations) --Ollj 20:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Name smacks of Pseudoscience
This field is foolishly named – Neurotheology makes use of the word theology which is Greek for “the study of god” an odd name choice by any account as the people in this field are often using Buddhist subjects for their studies and many branches of Buddhism have no gods at all, and those branches of Buddhism which believe in gods say that they are distractions that are to be avoided, especially when meditating. The alternative name “spiritual neuroscience” shares an additional problem that the name Neurotheology has, which is the presumption of a supernatural. This is bizarre because science can not make any empirical measurements of the supernatural. For instance one can not hold up a tool and measure the surface temperature of a god, or use a gauge to see how far one is along the path to Nirvana. Of course Wikipedia has to use the name the fields practitioners use to title wiki articles, but I would be on the look-out to see if others in this field call themselves something else as both these names smack of pseudo-science. Wowaconia (talk) 22:09, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

NPOV?
"altered states of consciousness which are the basis for many religious beliefs and behaviors"

Is this a neutral point of view? I'm sure many religions would not see altered states of consciousness as the basis for beliefs and behavious - this could be changed to "seen as the basis"

 * or "seen as contributing to many religious beliefs and behaviors" --Memenen 23:28, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Nonsense
>>If it walks like a duck, quaks like a duck and if it has "-theology", "religion", "spirituality" and"placebo" written on it it is religion or Spirituality! If it wants to be a science but fails in verification it is also pseudoscience! (definitions and categorisations) --Ollj 20:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

This is nonsense. You should take a look at the MRI scan of brains that are doing praying and meditation. Also, placebo effect can be regulated by injections of chemicals. This is science in progress. Please read the science news more regularly. (By your definition, the history of religion will be pseudo-history and the philosophy of theology will be pseudo-philosophy)

NPOV
I've toned down the POV of the introduction, and in particular I've modified language that appears to endorse the theories this article describes. --Shirahadasha 10:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

The article in its current state doesn't explain how the research involved addresses the issue of causality as distinct from correlation. If this research addresses causality in an evidence-based way this should be discussed in the article. Quick explanation as to why the difference between correlation and causation is particularly important here: It's quite possible that analogous research of the neurological basis of scientific experince could identify specific neurological phenomena that correlate with subjectively perceived scientific activity. However, any such correlations, even if extensive, would be unlikely to convince most scientists that scientific thought is neurologically based and the source of what scientists subjectively experience as scientific thought lies in neural plumbing rather than the external universe. The reason is simply that correlation is not cause: observing correlations between two phenomena doesn't establish which one causes which, so there's no more basis for believing the neural phenomena causes scientific experience as there is to believe that scientific experience cause the neural phenomena. The article doesn't explain why the researchers involved believe, or show, that their research about religious experience overcomes this hurdle. Best, --Shirahadasha 10:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Neuroscience studies
There are some published studies that i think are most relevant here:
 * Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the temporoparietal junction induced out-of-body experiences.
 * Some forms of epilepsy are known to elicit "religious" experiences. Rabend (talk) 07:53, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Heart and Mind
Many religions focus heavily on the heart, and while they do value the works of the mind/brain, the heart is perhaps just as important as the brain. It would be interesting if related research were to come out on the heart and its role in spirituality, if this research does not already exist. ADM (talk) 10:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

There's non English speakers around here who also use this pedia and they sometimes translate articles to their languages. thank you --Kid 007 (talk) 12:24, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 * While language can be more or less clear and made so by the use of simpler or more complex words and sentence structure, and while we should strive for more clarity, sometimes complex subjects require complex diction. What, in particular, do you find to fall into the "I'm-more-intelligent-than-thou" category?  That someone finds it obscure may indeed indicate that it can be improved.

And that you are an all-round good chap who wants to help people and stop them killing each other, right? Now... what aspects of the article do you actually have a problem with??? If you don't give us an example of what you think is "more-intelligent-than-thou", then we can't improve the article, can we? Both your choice of words for this talk section (Enough with the I'm-more-intelligent-than-thou contexts) and your initial comment didn't actually communicate anything useful.
