CVG Infobox
Yeah, I see your point about the media. Maybe it should be blank unless something more specific is included, such as the number of megabytes, or the number of discs for a multiple disc game. --Pagrashtak 16:04, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

re:ESRB Rating
"Game has been created before the formation of the ESRB, or the ESRB has chosen not to rate the game for one or more factors." Since there are two cases here (pre-ESRB and ESRB choosing not to rate a game,) and the ESRB never officially chose not to rate games released before they existed, I feel that it would make sense to make a distinction between the two. Thank you for pointing that out though, and just so you know, if you decide to revert, I'll leave it since I see a case for using a uniform NR.

Computer and video game stubs
I just read a discussion you started in WP:WSS/P about computer and video game stubs. You talked about the rubenesque size of the stub category. I must therefore apologize for moving stubs from corp-stub to cvg-stub and adding to the mess. On WP:WSS/P I proposed a new category: cvg-corp-stub, for the game developers. Any views on this? Hoogachtend ;) Aecis 10:50, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

List of..
Nice work breaking up the article List of computer and video games by name. It was long overdue for a split. :) 204.86.170.127 hyK1Bond007 16:20, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Re: Captain Blood stub type
It might be better to describe Captain Blood as an adventure game rather than an action game, since most of the gameplay consists of having conversations. (Haven't been on here long so not sure if this is the right place to mention it, or if it's too minor an issue to be worth discussing) -- Arganoid 20:56, 3 October 2005 (GMT)

Stub changing!
Woah! Good work with the stub sorting of video games. --  Thorpe  talk 20:38, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Nintendo 64 games
Hi, nice work on all the new Gamecube game articles! I myself have been creating articles for Nintendo 64 games but am having trouble finding information for Japan only games, any suggestions? Thanks. --Timkovski 13:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

-Thanks for the link, the site looks good, I'll get to work later! I noticed that IGN has profiles on some of the more notable imports, so you could check there and maybe you'll get lucky. --Timkovski 15:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

-I've found an absolutely incredible site, it gives basic info on every game I've tried so far, as well as the games name in kanji which can be googled. http://vgrebirth.org/ --Timkovski 11:55, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

GT Cube
Hi, I've proposed that GT Cube be merged into the GT Pro Series article, and so far the discussion is only between me and one other editor (with a differing viewpoint, so currently with no chance of consensus). I noticed you created the page originally, so your opinion would be appreciated to help possibly reach a consensus. The discussion is at Talk:GT Cube. Thanks, Nova Prime 04:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Infobox maker
I think there are a few small bugs in the infobox maker. I entered some experimental input and this is what I got. The release date region seems to be closing the wikilink tag twice and I don't think the OFLC link is meant to be like that. I've added a link to the generator in the External links section of WP:CVG, for some reason it wasn't there before. Cheers, JACO  PLANE  • 2007-01-5 21:30
 * I just remembered that the whole thing is just JavaScript. I'll see if I can find what's wrong myself. Not so strong with JS though. JACO  PLANE  • 2007-01-5 22:33

This line should be changed: ratings += '[of Film and Literature Classification (Australia)|OFLC]: ' + x.oflc.value to: ratings += 'OFLC: ' + x.oflc.value Also, I think this is the problem with the extra tags: if (x.loc1.value == 'United States') { release += 'North America|NA' } else if (x.loc1.value == 'Europe') { release += 'Europe|EUR]])' } else if (x.loc1.value == 'Japan') { release += 'Japan|JPN]])' } else if (x.loc1.value == 'Australia') { release += ' (AUS)' } The North America if doesn't have the "]]" while the other ones do. JACO PLANE  • 2007-01-5 22:39

Cool, thanks for updating! You should have a look at this discussion, X201 was talking about some new accepted standards (I'm not sure, haven't been following the discussion about that). Take care, JACO  PLANE  • 2007-01-6 23:10

Stars!
'llo :) User:Tzaquiel dumped a gamecleanup template on the Stars! game page and we(those who usually edit the page) are not terribly experienced wikipedians, and Tzaquiel hasn't responded to requests for what he thinks is wrong with it. Any help you can provide in this regards would be appreciated. Why you? Because WP:CVG/GL suggests critical reviews and according to WP:CVG/M you have a copy of the March 1996 PC Gamer, which contains a review of Stars!. Would you mind digging it out and seeing if there's anything worth adding to the Star! article please? Thanx in advance Gible Fog 09:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Boxart bionicle-heroes gba.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Boxart bionicle-heroes gba.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:Cabela's Outdoor Adventures 2006 GameCube Cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cabela's Outdoor Adventures 2006 GameCube Cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Big Mutha Truckers
I've nominated Big Mutha Truckers, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Big Mutha Truckers satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Big Mutha Truckers and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of Big Mutha Truckers during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. — N96 02:10, 23 June 2007 (UTC) 02:10, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Timeline of web browsers picture
Hi, I was reading the browser war article and wanted to take a closer look at that picture you made, "Timeline of web browsers", but it's in .svg format. What program do you need to open that file with? Thanks, Jack Daw 14:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The Opera web browser does a perfect job rendering the file. It's probably the smallest download for your computer that will allow you to be able to view the file. The Adobe SVG Viewer (plugin) for IE (and other browsers) also works. Firefox can render that SVG file, but isn't as good at rendering really complicated SVG images. Inkscape is like the Photoshop for SVG, but that'll eat away more than 100 MB on your hard drive, I believe. If you don't want to download a program to be able to view the SVG image, you can just look at, which was made by speaker219 on digg. -Ice Ardor 19:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi, I look at this picture, and find out, that there is no Nokia OSS browser (WebKit based), NetFront (Own engine, WIndows/Linux/BREW) and NetPositive (own engine, BeOS) browsers. Do you need help to add this browsers to the picture? (Ben Aceler, acelergmail.com) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.208.95.123 (talk) 10:53, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Timeline of Opera releases

 * Wikipedia should say "You've got new messages" when someone responds to a comment you make. I guess I'll post my responses in this thread on your page then. Oh well. I got your message on my.opera.com. Thanks. I've added you to my friends list. As far as rendering speed on the svg file, I'm amazed at how quickly it can run the javascript functions to resize the image. I'd think that would have seriously slowed down the file, but it's only one or two hundred milliseconds slower. Then again, Opera Kestrel has blazing fast javascript speeds. Woot! --Ice Ardor 04:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Link to Article
I found that there was no link to this article in the Spain article. Perhaps this should be changed.

I have deleted two things about Basque Country in the article:

1. "although it is an autonomous community inside Spain", what is the point here? Is an autonomous comunity like the others. 2. "The Basque Country coast is marvelous." Marvelous like hundreds place in the other communities, i don't understand the favouritism here.

Murcia tourism
Spain is important for Jewish culture and history. Once the home of the jews when more than 40 percent of the population was jewish, Spain continues to attract people worldwide with interests in Spains Jewish Past and present. cities like Toledo Granada Madrid Barcelona and Murcia  attract tourists of all faiths raquel samper jewish community spain  comunidad judia murcia  this page relates to tourism not cristianity. If people tour here to enjoy the cristian festivals ,building then its RELEVENT. However murcia as well attracts tourism from israel every year. jews come to see the rambla del judio ,old synagogues, and many calles named after jews. Arab tourism as well is big in murcia with ruins under our city.

Spanish tourism campaign
Maybe someone should write about the new spanish tourism campaign "Smile! You are in Spain"? Pel thal (talk) 16:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Holiest places in the world?
Are the 3rd, 4th and 5th holiest places in the world for Christians and Jews really in Spain? Are these places more holy to Christians than say Bethlehem, Mount Sinai, and the River Jordan and many other places in the bible? Are they more holy to Jews than Jerusalem, Hebron, Tiberias and Safed? Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 13:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That is not what was stated in the article, but it was a bit confusing, I agree. I have corrected the sentence about the holy places, they are for the Catholic Church, not for Judaism as it looked like in the former text. David (talk) 14:07, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Murcia is number 3
Your facts here are based on armchair thinking .Im a murciano born and raised.I know quite alot about murcia as i work as a lawyer in the consejeria de cultura.First,we are number 3 in all spain for language tourism.Our university of murcia attracts many people worldwide to come here to study spanish.We speak english here too but not like in madrid or salamanca where on every corner the spanish student bumps into a fellow american. We are in the top five in all spain for general tourism as we have better weather transport priced hotels than many other cities.We say "next time youre in madrid since youre very close,why not take a few days off and visit spain?"In cnn mtv and tbs we are "More & More Murcia",a very successful campaign.We have the top rated spas in archena mula and fortuna according to michelin guide. Finally and not official,Paramount Park has chosen murcia for its new park which will be the largest amusement park in all spain and second only to disneyparis in europe.Paramount chose murcia not to increase our tourism but because we already have big tourism and paramount wants to take advantage.Murcia will continue to clearly market itself in wikipedia according to your rules.too many people just google to find out about holiday possibilities and wikipedia shows up first so weve got to talk straight here and be here according to your rules.We say the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth about our city of murcia.rsamper —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.148.97.68 (talk) 07:13, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Movie Central

Movie Central (occasionally abbreviated as "MC", mostly in program guides) was a Canadian English language Category A premium cable and satellite television channel that was owned by Corus Entertainment. Movie Central was designated to operate west of the Ontario-Manitoba border, including the territories. Although the channel's name implies that it focuses solely on theatrically released motion pictures, Movie Central's programming included original and foreign television series, made-for-cable movies and documentaries.

Movie Central was carried by various Canadian cable, IPTV, and satellite television providers in Western Canada including Bell Satellite TV, Shaw Direct, Shaw Cable, Access Communications, Telus Optik TV, and Westman, among other providers. Its programming was comparable to that of The Movie Network (TMN), a separately owned pay service which is marketed to Eastern Canada, in areas located east of the Ontario-Manitoba border. Movie Central was headquartered at the Corus Quay building in Toronto, Ontario, alongside Corus's national specialty television properties, despite that city being located outside the service's territory.

Known as Superchannel (or First Choice–Superchannel) from its launch in 1983 until 2001, the service held a regional legal monopoly on movie-based premium TV service in Western and Northern Canada from 1984 until the launch of the present-day Super Channel in 2007.

On November 19, 2015, Corus announced that it would shut down Movie Central and sister service Encore Avenue in order to focus on its specialty television services. The Movie Network, which previously held a similar regional monopoly in Eastern Canada, subsequently expanded into the West to become a national service. TMN owner Bell Media made a payment of C$211 million to Corus for its services in transitioning MC subscribers to TMN.

History
In 1982, the CRTC licensed Canada's first national pay television services. The commission licensed one national general-interest service – First Choice – as well as a number of short-lived niche channels, and several regional general-interest channels.

Allarcom Pay Television, owned by Charles Allard, was initially granted the regional concession for Alberta. However, by the time Allarcom's service, Superchannel, launched on February 1, 1983, Allarcom had apparently also gained control of a second regional channel, Ontario Independent Pay Television.

By January 1984, Superchannel had received approval to expand its service area to Saskatchewan (replacing Teletheatre, a province-wide pay-cable network that had been operating since the late 1970s), Manitoba, and what is now the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Allarcom also took control of Aim Satellite Broadcasting (serving British Columbia and Yukon) and provided the Superchannel feed in those markets on an "interim" basis while Aim could establish its own service.

By the spring of 1984, it became clear that the remaining pay service operators were continuing to post substantial monetary losses. In August, AIM and OIPT were merged into Allarcom's operations, and the resulting channel exited the Ontario market. Meanwhile, the formerly national service First Choice agreed to serve only Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. As part of their agreement, Allarcom and First Choice agreed to jointly market their services under the name First Choice Superchannel, in which the Superchannel "star" branding was predominant. This practice continued until 1989, at which point the "First Choice" name remained in the east and "Superchannel" was restricted to the west. With the respective launches of The Sports Network and MuchMusic in September 1984, Superchannel reduced the amount of sports programming and concert specials that it broadcast, and converted to a predominantly movie-based service, as did First Choice.

Allarcom was later acquired by Western International Communications, which launched a parallel classic movie service, MovieMax!, in the Superchannel service area in October 1994. Originally featuring movies from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, the channel's programming later expanded to include older movies (its licence actually allows the channel to air movies that were released more than five years from the present year). When digital cable and satellite television became available in the 1990s, Superchannel 2 and Superchannel 3 were launched (which were essentially timeshifted versions of Superchannel 1 on respective two- and four-hour delays), along with MovieMax! 2, which was available on satellite only (operating as a two-hour delayed feed of MovieMax!). During its years under WIC ownership, there was a noticeable difference in programming quality between the WIC services and their eastern counterparts, due largely to a 1996 lawsuit against HBO for allegedly promoting the grey-market availability of U.S.-based satellite television providers. WIC was at the time also a significant shareholder in domestic satellite provider ExpressVu (now Bell Satellite TV). In retaliation, HBO refused to license any of its programmes to Superchannel.

The duelling takeover bids for, and eventual split of, WIC resulted in Superchannel and MovieMax! being transferred to Corus Entertainment, which settled the HBO lawsuit and began to license programmes such as The Sopranos. On April 1, 2001, Superchannel and MovieMax! were rebranded under the umbrella brand Movie Central, which consisted of six diverse channels, most of which utilized a common street-themed branding scheme: Movie Central, Adrenaline Drive (focusing on action movies), Heartland Road (focusing on romance films), Shadow Lane (focusing on horror and suspense films), Encore Avenue (focusing on classic movies), and Comic Strip (focusing on comedy films).

On March 1, 2006, the sub-brands were dropped due to confusion among subscribers regarding the meanings of the channel's names; four of the channels remained under the Movie Central brand (but using numbered names rather than a combination of the parent network's name and a sub-brand, a common naming scheme for North American premium television services), and the two remaining channels became Encore Avenue, each of which were diverse in their schedules. The Encore Avenue channels adopted a format of films from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, possibly due to the introduction of Turner Classic Movies in Canada.

On November 19, 2015, Corus announced that as a result of a strategic review, it decided to exit the pay TV business in order to concentrate on its national specialty channels, and would discontinue Movie Central and Encore Avenue on March 1, 2016. It was concurrently announced that the movie channels The Movie Network and TMN Encore, now owned by Bell Media as the successor to the former First Choice, would expand into the Western Canadian markets that were previously served exclusively by Movie Central, giving them wider distribution. Bell also acquired Corus' interest in HBO Canada (a jointly operated multiplex channel of both TMN and Movie Central), giving them full ownership of the channel. Although Bell did not buy the Movie Central licence, it paid Corus C$211 million in exchange for Corus' assistance in allowing TMN's national expansion, including transitioning existing Movie Central subscribers to TMN. The CRTC quietly gave administrative approval to applications to allow TMN and TMN Encore to operate nationally in July 2015, so no further regulatory approval was required.

List of channels
Depending on the service provider, Movie Central provided up to six multiplex channels – four 24-hour multiplex channels; one of which (HBO Canada) was also available on a two-hour delay, two of which were simulcast in both standard definition and high definition – as well as a subscription video-on-demand service (Movie Central On Demand). Movie Central broadcast its primary and multiplex channels on a Mountain Time Zone schedule. Because Movie Central operated a singular feed and its license was restricted to broadcast solely in a geographical area covered by the Pacific, Mountain and Central time zones, it resulted in the difference in local airtimes for a particular movie or program between two geographic locations being three hours at most.

The premium classic film service Encore Avenue, also owned by Corus Entertainment, operated as a separate service under a separate licence – and subscribers to one of the two services did not necessarily have to subscribe to the other. However, Encore Avenue was very frequently sold together in a package with Movie Central.

HBO Canada
On September 22, 2008, both The Movie Network and Movie Central announced that the two channels would jointly begin offering a dedicated HBO multiplex channel (in both standard definition and high-definition formats), called HBO Canada, on October 30. For Movie Central subscribers, HBO Canada replaced Movie Central 4. For TMN subscribers, HBO Canada replaced MMore and MMore HD. The channel remains available at no additional charge to TMN and Movie Central subscribers and, moreover, is not available on a standalone basis.

The channel focuses on programming from the U.S. premium service HBO, including several HBO series, specials and sporting events not previously available in Canada; however, some programs that have aired on HBO Canada have aired in the United States on HBO's competitor Showtime. A selection of Canadian films and series also airs to satisfy Canadian content requirements. HBO programming now airs solely on HBO Canada, as opposed to any of the other TMN/Movie Central multiplex channels.

The HBO Canada schedule was common to both services, with the exception of timeshifting for the Eastern (TMN) and Mountain (MC) time zones. Although, when it launched, essentially operating as a joint venture of Corus and TMN's parent company Bell Media, the east and west feeds are technically separate channels wholly owned by the parent company of the applicable regional service. In any event, HBO's parent company Time Warner is not a shareholder, and only licenses the name, logo and programming to Corus and Bell. Unlike the other multiplex channels offered by Movie Central and The Movie Network, both the standard-definition and high-definition HBO Canada feeds (East/West) are available nationally to those television providers who wish to carry them. The Movie Network's master control acts as the hub for HBO Canada.

Movie Central HD
Movie Central HD was a high definition simulcast feed of Movie Central that broadcast in the 1080i resolution format. In addition to its main channel, Movie Central also operated high definition simulcast feeds of its two Movie Central-branded multiplex channels and HBO Canada. In December 2004, Movie Central launched its first high definition channel called Movie Central HD, which delivered simulcasted content from Movie Central's various multiplex channels, excluding Encore Avenue and Encore Avenue 2. In 2006, Movie Central launched its second HD simulcast feed, Movie Central 2 HD, which delivered an alternative schedule of HD content from Movie Central HD. In March 2012, Movie Central launched Movie Central 3 HD, a high-definition simulcast of its third multiplex channel.

Movie Central On Demand
Movie Central operated a subscription video-on-demand television service called Movie Central On Demand, which is available at no additional charge to new and existing subscribers of Movie Central. Content featured on the service included films and television series from Movie Central and its four multiplex channels, excluding the two Encore Avenue channels. HBO Canada operated as a separate SVOD service, HBO Canada On Demand, providing feature films along with series content from American premium service HBO; it was available to subscribers of Movie Central on most providers at no additional cost. Movie Central On Demand's rotating program selection incorporates select new titles that were added each Friday, alongside existing program titles held over from the previous one to two weeks.

TV Everywhere
Movie Central did not have a cross-provider TV Everywhere service for online and mobile streaming similar to HBO GO or TMN GO. However, selected service providers offered this content through their own apps: Shaw offered a dedicated "Shaw Go – Movie Central" app for this purpose, while Bell Satellite TV and Telus Optik TV made Movie Central content available through their respective omnibus TV Everywhere apps.

Programming
Movie Central offered an extensive variety of first-run films and television series, most of which come from the American premium television services HBO, Cinemax and Showtime, as well as critically acclaimed original Canadian series, most of which were co-produced in partnership with The Movie Network. A selected time block on the channel called Metro, aired independent, short, festival, foreign, and subtitled films, documentaries and original programming.

Films typically debuted on Movie Central within a lag of between 10 and 12 months on average from their initial theatrical release, three to six months after their initial release on pay-per-view services and over 1½ years before their network television or basic cable debuts. Sports coverage was permitted, but in such limited amounts that it is rarely seen, in contrast to HBO and Showtime.

Duopoly issue
For many years, the de facto twin regional monopolies of The Movie Network and Movie Central have been criticised. At the time, no other similar premium services had broadcast within Canada. Critics argued that this limited competition and consumer choice, while proponents said that there was very little in content or functionality that was not already offered by the existing services.

In July 2005, the CRTC, the Canadian federal broadcast regulator, announced that public hearings would begin on October 24 of that year on four applications for new national pay television licences from different groups. Each applicant claimed that they would commit to invest and develop more Canadian-produced programming content. On May 18, 2006, the CRTC announced that had accepted an application by Allarco Entertainment, while the other three were rejected. This approved application effectively ended The Movie Network/Movie Central duopoly in Canada. On November 2, 2007, the new service was launched as Super Channel.

With approval for The Movie Network (now known as Crave) to go national and the discontinuation of the Movie Central service, Canada now has two full-time national premium movie services.

Mitch Williams

Mitchell Steven Williams (born November 17, 1964), nicknamed "Wild Thing", is an American former relief pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) who played for six teams from 1986 to 1997. He was also a studio analyst for the MLB Network from 2009 to 2014.

Williams, a left-hander with a high-90s fastball and major control issues, was largely effective, especially in the early part of his career earning 192 saves in his 11 seasons including a career high of 43 in 1993. He gave up a walk-off home run to Joe Carter of the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth game of the 1993 World Series, which gave Toronto a World Series championship win over the Phillies. Williams' career went into decline afterward, although he played in parts of three more major league seasons.

Early playing career
Williams was drafted out of high school in West Linn, Oregon, in 1982, by the San Diego Padres. The Texas Rangers acquired him in 1985, and he made his major league debut for the Rangers in 1986. It was with the Rangers that Williams earned the nickname "Wild Thing" due in large part to his awkward delivery to the plate in which he would fall to the third base side of the mound during his follow through, and also because of issues he had with control. The Rangers traded him to the Chicago Cubs after the 1988 season.

Chicago Cubs
Williams' extravagant wind-up and release, as well as his frequent wild pitches, drew comparisons to film character Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn (played by Charlie Sheen) in the 1989 David S. Ward film Major League. When he joined the Cubs, Wrigley Field organist Gary Pressy began playing The Troggs' "Wild Thing" as he came out of the bullpen, mimicking the scenes in the film.

A power reliever, he put his full weight behind every pitch, so that he dropped hard to the right, sometimes falling off the mound. In 1993, Williams started wearing the number 99 (he originally wore the number 28) on his jersey, the same number that Vaughn wore in the film. According to an interview on The Dan Patrick Show on October 22, 2008, the number change had nothing to do with the Major League film. Williams said he had wanted the number 99 for years and years because of an admiration for the football player Mark Gastineau, who also wore number 99. Williams said that he did not change his number until 1993 because that was his first chance to do it.

Cubs manager Don Zimmer said Williams "did everything 99 miles an hour", and teammate and close friend Mark Grace said "Mitch pitches like his hair's on fire." The New Yorker baseball writer Roger Angell chortled over his "scary, hilarious antics", saying "he flung the ball and then... flung himself after it, winding up with his back to home plate... peering over his left shoulder in case anyone accidentally made contact."

1989
One of Williams's best seasons came in 1989 as a member of the Chicago Cubs. Williams had a win–loss record of 4–4 with a 2.76 ERA, 67 strikeouts (in 76 appearances during the regular season) and 36 saves. That year, Williams made the All-Star team for the only time in his career. He also hit the only home run of his career that season. He was a key figure in the Cubs winning the National League East title in 1989.

Williams became the first player in MLB history to record a save without throwing a pitch. On April 28, 1989, he entered the game against the San Diego Padres with a 3–1 lead and two outs in the ninth inning. Williams picked off the Padres' Carmelo Martínez at second base to end the game.

National League Championship Series
In the League Championship Series against the San Francisco Giants, Williams made two appearances, in Games 2 and 5. He did not give up any earned runs and recorded two strikeouts.

However, in Game 5, with the score tied at 1–1 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Williams gave up a two-run RBI single to Will Clark. Williams was removed, and NBC's cameras caught him in the dugout with a towel over his head. Moments later, the Giants finished the Cubs off to win their first National League pennant in 27 years.

Philadelphia Phillies
The Cubs dealt Williams to the Philadelphia Phillies at the start of the 1991 campaign. That year, he won 12 games, including eight in August, and saved 30 for the Phillies. However, he suffered eight losses in 1992 and seven more in 1993. Still, manager Jim Fregosi chose Williams as the team's closer entering the World Series against the defending champion Toronto Blue Jays.

On July 2, 1993, in the second game of a 12-hour double-header delayed repeatedly by rain, Williams came up to bat in the tenth inning and ended the game at 4:40 am with an RBI single, the only walk-off hit of his career and one of only three hits overall. Williams recorded it off Trevor Hoffman, one of the only two closers to have 600 or more saves. It was also his only plate appearance of the season and the final one of his career.

During Williams' time in Philadelphia, a punk rock cover of the song "Wild Thing" (the same one used in the Major League films) was played when he made his entrance from the bullpen.

1993 World Series
During that World Series, whenever Williams was on the mound, his nervous teammate Curt Schilling was caught by CBS television cameras with a towel over his head. Schilling's behavior not only irked Williams (who to this day harbors bitter feelings towards Schilling), but also fellow Phillies teammates like Larry Andersen and Danny Jackson, who accused Schilling of purposely trying to get more camera time. On subsequent nights, several other Phillies were seen wearing towels—possibly to keep Schilling from looking unique. The gesture was taken up almost as a good-luck charm by fans in the seats.

Williams earned a save in Game 2 of the series, relieving Terry Mulholland as the Phillies tied the series at a game each. However, Williams suffered the loss in Game 4, the highest-scoring game in World Series history, as the Blue Jays scored six times in the eighth inning to earn a 15–14 victory and take a 3–1 series lead. Afterwards, Williams received death threats from angry Phillies fans for blowing the game.

After the Phillies won Game 5 in a complete-game shutout by Curt Schilling, the series returned to Toronto for Game 6. The Phillies scored five runs in the seventh inning to take a 6–5 lead, and it was up to Williams to preserve the victory and force a Game 7. Rickey Henderson, considered one of the best baserunners in league history, led off the inning for the Jays and promptly walked on four pitches. After getting a flyout, Paul Molitor singled to center field to get Joe Carter (who Williams described as a "down-and-in hitter") to the plate with one out and two runners on base in the bottom of the ninth inning, Joe Carter hit a 2–2 pitch over the left-field wall for a walk-off home run, giving the Blue Jays an 8–6 victory and a World Series championship.

Williams later placed the blame on himself for what happened in the 1993 World Series, adding that he had put the ordeal behind him: There are people who work a hell of a lot harder than I do in this world. I’m not going to sit and whine and complain over the fact that I was in the World Series and I lost.
 * —Mitch Williams on his feelings about surrendering the home run to Joe Carter

In 2011, 17 years after giving up the World Series home run, Williams said he regretted using the slide step when pitching to Carter. In a joint interview with Carter for the MLB Network's 20 Greatest Games series, Williams said he hadn't used the slide step before but was talked into doing so by pitching coach Johnny Podres after allowing a walk to base-stealing legend Rickey Henderson.

Despite having the highest number of lefty saves in his career with the Phillies (102), the Carter blast was the end of the line for Williams in Philadelphia. The Phillies traded him to the Houston Astros prior to the start of the 1994 season.

Post-Phillies career
Williams' post-Phillies career was a comedown from his previous heights. He would register only two wins and six saves in his final three major league seasons, with an ERA of 6.75 or above in all three campaigns. After two months with Houston in 1994, Williams closed out his major league career with equally short stints with the California Angels in 1995 and the Kansas City Royals in 1997.

Retirement
After retiring from baseball, Williams began to operate a bowling establishment outside Philadelphia. Although Phillies fans continued to blame Williams for the 1993 World Series loss for several years afterward, the fact that he did not make excuses for the blown save, shift the blame to others, or hide from the media or the city of Philadelphia caused many fans to ultimately forgive him and embrace him once again as a local figure.

In 1996, the MLB All-Star Game was held in Philadelphia. The network broadcasting the game set up a bowling match between Williams and Carter at Williams' own lanes. Before the match Williams jokingly stated that Carter had no chance to win because Williams played every day. Williams did not know that Carter had been a talented bowler growing up. Carter got to the bowling alley and on his first warm up roll took a couple steps, spun around 180 degrees and rolled the ball between his legs, backwards, for a strike. Carter won the match handily.

The Atlantic City Surf of the independent Atlantic League lured Williams back into uniform to pitch in 2001. He went 4–3 for the Surf that season and then became the club's pitching coach for 2002 and 2003. His paperwork and people skills were not strengths, and he was not retained as coach after a year and a half. Williams has been out of professional baseball since then.

In July 2011, Williams participated in a House Crashers episode from the DIY Network, in which a local Phillies fan won a makeover of his home's sports den.

Williams sued Deadspin and MLB Network, claiming defamation and breach of contract in 2014 for a report on him regarding his actions during a youth baseball tournament, including his alleged cursing of an umpire and calling children on other teams derogatory names. Williams apologized for his behavior at the tournament. In June 2016, Williams's suit against Deadspin was dismissed by summary judgment. In June 2017, Williams prevailed in his lawsuit against MLB Network and was awarded $1.5 million by a jury.

He and former teammate Lenny Dykstra were involved in a profane exchange, captured on camera, during a May 2015 sports roast in Philadelphia.

Broadcasting
In March 2007, Williams joined Philadelphia radio station 610 WIP AM as a part-time cohost of the Angelo Cataldi and the Morning Team show heard from 5:30 to 10:00 am on weekdays. Williams generally appeared one day per week. In April 2007, Williams joined Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia as a post-game analyst for broadcasts of Philadelphia Phillies games. On January 3, 2009, Williams joined MLB Network as a studio analyst where he was a regular on the network's MLB Tonight program until 2014.

Williams served as a color commentator for Fox Sports occasionally commentating national games. Williams came under some criticism for stating that the correct way to catch a fly ball was with one hand rather than two, after Cincinnati Reds outfielder Fred Lewis made an error in a game vs. the Atlanta Braves on July 23, 2011.

Heaven
Maybe it should be better if you incorporated your jewish mysticism information of seven heavens to heaven and leave only the seventh to seventh heaven. Pictureuploader 22:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually I already made a copyedit to heaven. Hope you like it. Maybe seventh heaven needs some cleanup. Pictureuploader 22:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I see your point. I find it pproper to leave the full list and desciptions in heaven while leave only a brief reference in seventh heaven and expand mostly on Araboth, if you could find more information. Also maybe the Islam section would need more expansion about the Firdaws. I will work on it. Thanks for the cooperation. Pictureuploader 22:37, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Rocky Kansas

Rocky Kansas was an Italian-born American tough, short (5'2" tall) former world lightweight champion boxer. He was born Rocco Tozzo on April 21, 1893, in Italy and came to America in 1898. Rocky Kansas was the brother of champion Joe "Kid" Kansas whom he combined with at an attempt to become a champion in 1938.

Background
Rocky was the younger brother of Joe "Kid" Kansas (Tozzo), and older brother of boxer Tony Tozzo. Kansas and his two brothers combined to defeat 189 opponents in the Buffalo, New York area from 1909 to 1937. Father to Vincent Tozzo and husband to Jessie Tozzo.

Pro career
Kansas turned pro in 1911 and lost just two official decisions in his first 75 fights. In 1914, he faced his first contender, Johnny Dundee, losing a newspaper decision. Kansas also faced featherweight Champion Johnny Kilbane in a non-title match, but lost the newspaper decision.

During his career Kansas faced the cream of the featherweight and lightweight divisions. On February 28, 1916, Kansas fought the all-time great Benny Leonard. Although, Kansas managed to last the full 10 rounds for a No-Decision, he received a boxing lesson from Leonard.

In 1921 he met Richie Mitchell, a highly regarded Lightweight out of Milwaukee. In the first round Kansas pinned Mitchell against the ropes and knocked him out. Kansas then landed a non-title shot against Benny Leonard, but was again handily out boxed.

Kansas then came up with another upset victory, this time over southpaw Lew Tendler in a close 10-round decision. The victory landed him a title shot at Leonard's lightweight crown. In an exciting fight, Leonard was awarded the unanimous decision.

The two fought yet again. This time Leonard TKOed him in the eleventh round.

Leonard retired and Kansas was given his third title shot at Broadway Auditorium against Jimmy Goodrich, who claimed the title after Leonard's retirement. Kansas was able to get inside on Goodrich and won all but one of the first 13 rounds. Kansas was awarded the 15-round decision, and after over 14 years of professional fighting, Rocky Kansas was finally a champion.

His glory was short lived. On July 3, 1926, he defended against 22-year-old Sammy Mandell. Mandell outboxed Kansas to win the title.

Retirement and death
Kansas retired after the loss. Like many others, he was wiped out in the Stock Market Crash of 1929. Kansas worked for the city of Buffalo in New York State. He had a job there for a few years. Then, in 1952, news got out about a cancer that he had developed. Kansas died on January 10, 1954, of cancer, following abdominal surgery. He was 60 years old.

Avril Doyle

Avril Doyle (Belton; born 18 April 1949) is an Irish former Fine Gael politician who served as a Minister of State from 1986 to 1987 and from 1995 to 1997. She served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1999 to 2004 and 2004 to 2009, a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wexford constituency from 1982 to 1989 and 1992 to 1997 and a Senator for the Agricultural Panel from 1989 to 1992 and 1997 to 2002.

Early life
Doyle was born in Dublin in 1949; she was educated at Holy Child Killiney secondary school and at University College Dublin (UCD). Her father Richard Belton was a Senator and her grandfather Patrick Belton was a TD. She was born on the day The Republic of Ireland Act 1948 came into effect – which saw the inauguration of Ireland as a republic outside the British Commonwealth.

Political career
In 1974, aged 25, she was elected to Wexford County Council and to Wexford Corporation; she was Mayor of Wexford town from 1975 to 1976. She was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the November 1982 general election as a Fine Gael TD for the Wexford constituency. In February 1986, she was appointed on the nomination of Garret FitzGerald as Minister of State at the Department of Finance with special responsibility for the Office of Public Works, and at the Department of the Environment with special responsibility for Environmental Protection.

She lost her seat at the 1989 general election, serving as a member of Seanad Éireann from 1989 to 1992. She was re-elected to the Dáil at the 1992 general election. In January 1995, she was appointed on the nomination of John Bruton as Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach, at the Department of Finance and at the Department of Transport, Energy and Communications with responsibility for consumers of public services. At the 1997 general election, she lost to party colleague Michael D'Arcy, and was again elected to the Seanad, serving from 1997 to 2002.

She was elected as an MEP at the 1999 election and re-elected at the 2004 election.

Doyle made news during a debate in the European Parliament in June 2008 after the rejection of the Treaty of Lisbon by Irish voters. A group of British Eurosceptic MEPs wore green hats and T-shirts, encouraging the EU to respect the Irish 'no' vote. However, many Irish MEPs saw this as self-serving and felt that there would be no Eurosceptic support for Irish opinion had the treaty been accepted; and Doyle was both lauded and criticised for the following comment, which is a reference to the forceful occupation of Ireland by Britain; "How the history books could have been written differently, if respect for the Irish vote from some of our British colleagues was always there."

On 7 January 2009, she announced that she would not seek re-election to the European Parliament at the 2009 election.

On 21 June 2011, she announced her intention to seek the Fine Gael party nomination for the 2011 presidential election. She withdrew from the nomination process in October 2011.
