Persistent Organic Pollutant, copyrights?
In Persistent Organic Pollutant you stated:

"The following paragraphs (until the trends) are from an article in the Environmental Chemistry Group Newsletter, issue no. 14, July 2001."

Does this clear copyright restrictions? RJFJR 22:40, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I have no idea how to reply to you so I am doing it here. I hope there is no problem with the Newsletter for stating something that was published in it. It was part of some material used in university lessons. It's not copied but paraphrased and shortened, much from what I had studied. I could put that I'm the source, but with the Newsletter as the source, readers have a chance to read more on POPs. Any comment welcome. Bye.

Where?
Someone moved it to Persistent Organic Pollutant. When they did this the history moved with it. There is now a redirect page at Persistent organic pollutants to Persistent Organic Pollutant.

Sorry I didn't see your message above. The best way to get a message to someone is to put it on their (not your) user talk page. If you sign with it will have a link to your user page (it is replaced by a message including user signature and time). like this: RJFJR 01:42, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC) (that's actually 4 tildes when I wrote it, but it will be replaced when posted). When you leave a message on someone's user talk page it will display a message for them that they have new messages until they view the page. (You should have seen an orange, more or less orange, box telling you that you have new messages).

I believe that the material you entered was removed because it was believed to be a copyright violation from newsletter you mentioned. (I'll go into more detail if you want it). While citing your source is good you need to make clear if the material is essentially your own (one so no one thinks it's a copyright violation and two because if you make a mistake you are attributing it to that source). Your material is likely still in the history unless a copyright holder complained and a developer went in and removed the history (a rare occurence).

Apologies for being so long winded. RJFJR 01:42, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks! --Crossmr 18:03, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Wii homebrew and potential conflict of interest
Hi! Since you did a lot of work on the Wii homebrew article, I was wondering if you could weigh in on an issue in the article. Editor GeekRecon wants to add information about his Javascript SDK for the Wii, but I removed it for lacking notability. (It's not even released yet, nor does his site appear to be mentioned anywhere else.) However, I am the author of a similar toolkit for Flash programs on WiiCade. Thus the editor is concerned about myself having a conflict of interest. That's a fair argument, so I was wondering if we could get a few impartial editors in to evaluate it and give a yay or nay? See the Talk Page for more info. Thanks! Jbanes 03:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Slavo-Serbia

Slavo-Serbia or Slaveno-Serbia was a territory of Imperial Russia from 1753 to 1764. It was located to the south of the Donets River, between the Bakhmutka River and Luhan River. This area today is located within present-day Luhansk Oblast and Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine. The administrative centre of Slavo-Serbia was Bakhmut.

It was bounded on the north by Slobozhanshchyna, on the west by the Cossack Hetmanate (a.k.a. the Zaporizhian Host), the Crimean Khanate to the south, and the Don Cossack Host to the southeast.

Background
As far back as 1723, Serb military colonists had been settling to a limited extent in the area that is now modern Ukraine. These Serbs came largely from the Military Frontier of the Habsburg Empire, where they enjoyed autonomy from the state. The abolishment of sectors of the frontier, and thus the loss of their autonomy, has been cited as a major reason for emigration to the Russian Empire.

The Serbian polymath and historian Zaharije Orfelin posited that the Orthodox peoples of the Balkans were chosen by Tsar Peter for settlement because, as speakers of a similar language and followers of the same religion, they would be "more reliable" than the Zaporozhian Cossacks, who were considered "insufficient". In October 1723, a group of predominantly Serb soldiers led by officer Jovan Albanez were officially formed into the Serbian Hussar Regiment.

A year before the founding of Slavo-Serbia, a similar but separate colony called New Serbia was created in 1752.

History
By the decree of the Senate of May 29, 1753, the free lands of this area were offered for settlement to Serbs, Romanians, Bulgarians, Greeks and other Balkan peoples of Orthodox Christian denomination to ensure frontier protection and development of this sparsely inhabited part of the steppes. The administrative center of the colony was made Bakhmut. The Sloviano-Serbia Commission that administered the area was based in the town. Slavo-Serbia was directly governed by Russia's College of War.

As a prime goal of the colony was to protect the Russian Empire's southern borders, the Serb and other South Slavic settlers were predominantly of a military background, and the capital town of Bakhmut was fortified. The settlers were divided into two military regiments, led by major generals Rajko Preradović and Jovan Šević (also known as Ivan Šević). The Serb officers like Preradović and Šević and their families went on to become wealthy landowners.

The Serb settlers had hostile relations with the local Ukrainian population, who made up the majority of the population of the region.

The Russian government plans had anticipated that each regiment would contain 2,000 men, but by 1764, the total number of military men was at most 1,264. As a result, the two regiments were merged into the Bakhmut hussar regiment with its headquarters in Bakhmut, and that same year in 1764, Slavo-Serbia was abolished completely, and its territory transferred to the newly created Novorossiya Governorate.

Legacy
Decades after the liquidation of the colony, the settlement of Pidhirne, which had been set up in the colony in 1753 was renamed to Slovianoserbsk, a name which it still holds today as a modern town.

The Serbs who settled these areas have since largely assimilated with the local Ukrainians over the centuries, but in Ukraine's modern Luhansk, Donetsk, and Kirovohrad regions which cover the former land of Slavo-Serbia and the similar colony New Serbia, people with Serbian surnames can still be found.

The settlers named many settlements in the colony after places from their homes back in the Balkans. In June 2000, amid celebrations of the 250th anniversary of Serb migration to Russia, there were efforts to make establish relations between the Ukrainian settlements and the settlements they had been named for in the Bačka and Banat regions.

Demographics
The province had ethnically diverse population that included Serbs, Romanians, and others. In 1755, the population of Slavo-Serbia numbered 1,513 inhabitants (of both genders). In 1756, in the regiment of Jovan Šević, there were 38% Serbs, 23% Romanians, and 22% others.

Hans Biebow

Hans Biebow (December 18, 1902 – June 23, 1947) was the chief of German Nazi administration of the Łódź Ghetto in occupied Poland.

Biebow's early life is summarized by the following curriculum vitae which he submitted to the German Ghetto Administration (Gettoverwaltung) on May 10, 1940:

After working as a coffee importer in his hometown of Bremen, Biebow became the overseer of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto. He realized that the ghetto could make a profit for the Germans if it were converted into essentially a slave labor complex.

Under his administration, the 164,000 Jews of Poland's second largest city were crammed into a small area of the city. Communication between the ghetto inhabitants and the outside world was completely cut off and the supply of food was severely limited, ensuring that many of the residents would slowly starve. Over the course of its existence, the population swelled to 204,000, with more Jews from central Europe being sent there. The Ghetto Administration remained in operation from April 1940 until the summer of 1944.

Biebow exercised his control in part through a Jewish administration headed by Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski. Rumkowski believed that the Jews could survive if they produced cheap, essential goods for the Nazis. Biebow profited substantially from the sale of the products of Jewish labour, as well as from property seized from Jews. He was directly responsible for starving the population, and he assisted the Gestapo in rounding up Jews for deportation. He is also said to have provided less food to inhabitants than was paid for, pocketing the difference. The ghetto factories produced products such as boots for German soldiers and were profitable for the Germans because the Jews, cut off from all resources, worked for wages that consisted only of bread, soup, and other essentials. The German profits from the Jewish factories have been estimated at $14,000,000 and the productivity of the ghetto was a factor in its comparatively long survival.

The inhabitants endured four years of starvation, illness and overcrowding before being sent to the extermination camps of Chełmno and Auschwitz. Among the Nazi hierarchy, Biebow was an early exponent of using the Jews as cheap labor rather than killing them, but he readily accepted the extermination policy. Survivors report he encouraged the last surviving Jews of the ghetto in the summer of 1944 to board the trains to Auschwitz with a speech that began "My Jews..." and promised them work in the West. Of the 245,000 inhabitants, 877 Jews remained when the Łódź ghetto was liberated by Soviet forces on January 19, 1945. In the days just before the liberation of Łódź, Biebow ordered large burial pits to be dug in the local cemetery, intending for the Gestapo execute the 877 Jews, who served as a clean-up crew in the ghetto. This might have been an attempt by Biebow to eliminate witnesses to his role in the atrocities.

Biebow was able to escape into hiding in Germany in 1945 after the unconditional surrender, but was recognized by a survivor of the ghetto and subsequently arrested in Bremen. After he was extradited by the Allies to Łódź, he stood trial from April 23 to April 30, 1947. He was found guilty on all counts and executed by hanging on June 23, 1947.

A tag has been placed on Apetito, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

Image copyright problem with Image:Chiclayo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Chiclayo.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Japanese given names

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was transwiki.

I count 6 clear "delete votes", 12 variations on "keep" votes (one trollish vote ignored) and 2 unclear votes. However, I note that 8 people (on both keep and delete sides) mentioned transwiki as an alternative or as the preferred answer. Noting that transwiki does not destroy history and therefore does not require the overwhelming concensus that deletion requires, I am going to be bold and put this in the transwiki queue.

List_of_Japanese_given_names
Another list of names that can never be complete. See List of first names and List of dog names. Radiant! 08:22, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as per VfD vote on List of first names and List of dog names. Megan1967 09:23, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Does anyone know the Japanese word for footfootfoot? Radiant! 11:04, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * 「足々々」。 —Korath (Talk) 05:52, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - could be useful to pages like Behind the Name but not necessarily here - Skysmith 09:55, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Wasn't it established that lists are encyclopedic? If that is true, is it necessary to delete every incomplete list?  -- AllyUnion (talk) 16:16, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * If they fulfil the purpose of lists they are. And incomplete lists can be marked for expansion in several ways, and should be.  So: Does this one fulfil the purpose of lists? Uncle G 17:09, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
 * Let's see... Navigation? Not really, unless we get articles on the majority of the listed names. Development, not likely for the same reason. That leaves Information. IMHO such a list would be informative if it listed origin and meaning of the names - but in that case it would belong in Wikisource. Or if Japan had a very limited number of names (like Latin does), otherwise it could never be remotely complete. Radiant! 17:59, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * There are articles on at least a few of the names. I don't see why there won't be articles on more of them.  --ChrisRuvolo 00:45, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, will inevitably mislead by lack of context and completeness, and could become a hotbed of stealth vandalism. Wyss 18:30, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, according to Japanese name, there are limits to the names placed by the government in order to keep the number of Kanji within sane limits. --ChrisRuvolo 18:55, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Kanji names in Japan are governed by the government's rules on kanji use. There are currently (Oct 2004) 2,232 "name kanji" (the jinmeiyō kanji 人名用漢字) used in personal names, and the government plans to increase this list by 578 kanji in the near future. Only kanji which appear on the official list may be used in given names.  This is to ensure that names can be written and read by those literate in Japanese.
 * All right. Mathematics time:  Assume that names made from that set of characters may be up to two characters long.  How many possible names is that for this page?  How many possible names is it assuming that names may be up to three characters long?  Assume that ChrisRuvolo can romanize one name in 20 seconds.  How long will it take him to romanize the entire list of two character names? Uncle G 19:42, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
 * Assuming that we do not count names written in hiragana and katakana (which could be a combination of at least 70 different characters, and various lengths), and we only count 2810 kanji letters for the personal names...
 * For two characters long, that would be C(2810, 2). -- AllyUnion (talk) 21:32, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * 2810 squared, or 7,896,100 names. If you subtract the ones consisting of the same character twice, that leaves 7,893,290. Sounds practical, no? :) Radiant! 22:27, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I never said it would be practical. :) Mathematics and completeness aside, I still find it to be a useful reference.  --ChrisRuvolo 00:45, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This list is not and may not ever be complete, but I think that even an incomplete list is a useful reference. Josh 18:02, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. —Korath (Talk) 05:52, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC) (superseded below)
 * Wiktionary? Or some place. Useful to have on line someplace, because it's very useful to know the Kanji for common names. I would say keep unless we can find it another home. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:05, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not encyclopedic.   — Gwalla | Talk 23:34, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. As a student of Japanese, this could be a very useful resource.  It could also be a useful reference link from an article on Japanese names.  Being able to look up the kanji of a name from its pronounciation, and vice versa, is very useful, and well within the bounds of Wikipedia, which has become a useful reference for the study of foreign languages through articles such as Japanese language.  I suspect that this will become a top-notch list.  --LostLeviathan 03:02, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Wikipedia is not a kanji dictionary. This would belong in Wiktionary, if anywhere in the wikiverse.   — Gwalla | Talk 04:10, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Exploding Boy 17:06, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki or keep, this list is very useful Kappa 08:38, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or transwiki. This information does appear to be useful.  —RaD Man (talk) 11:14, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I think that's pretty interesting. Would it help if the article was called "List of common Japanese names" instead? Did you see the link to the other entries (List of common XXXX names)? We could add a blurb to each stating that the list is actually of "common names".... What would it be "Transwiki"'d to?? Doesn't "Transwiki" just mean "move to a place where no one can find it"? -- Serge Dupouy 11:16, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Only if "a place where no-one can find it" in turn means "one of Wikipedia's sibling projects that are mentioned prominently on the main page and in countless places throughout the encyclopaedia", which of course it does not. If you do happen across anyone who cannot find dictionary definitions of words, etymologies of words, or translations of words in the encyclopaedia, please point them towards the dictionary.

Sonya Adler

Sophia "Sonya" Adler (née Oberlander; c. 1862 – 1886), also known by her early stage name Sonya Michelson, was a Russian actress who was one of the first women to perform in Yiddish theater in Imperial Russia. Later she became the first wife of actor Jacob Adler, with whom she relocated to London in 1883, after Yiddish theater was banned in Russia.

Sophia Oberlander was born to a Jewish family in Odesa, Ukraine in 1859, descended from Jews from the Courland (now Latvia). Jacob Adler, in his memoir, remarks that at the time he met her, she was a student at the University of Odesa, who, like him, spoke Yiddish and Russian, but also spoke much better German than he, and also excellent French. He adds that "like all the best young people of the day" she was a nihilist, a "serious young student and revolutionary", and that her (and her family's) passion for theater, and their vision of what Yiddish theater could become, kept him in the profession through the difficult early years of his career as an actor. Her debut as a professional actress (Odesa, 1878) was in the title role of Abraham Goldfaden's darkly comic operetta Breindele Cossack, in the troupe of Israel Rosenberg, the first Yiddish theater troupe in Imperial Russia; at first she played opposite Jacob Spivakovsky, but she pulled strings so that Jacob Adler, to whom she was already close at the time, would get the role. The next few years of theatrical touring had their ups and downs; initially, so did her relationship with Adler, but they married in Poltava in 1880.

The February 1881 assassination of Tsar Alexander II was calamitous for the Jews of Russia, for Yiddish theater, and for the Adlers. At that time, the Adlers were in Goldfaden's troupe, and had been expecting soon to play in Saint Petersburg. The mourning for the tsar meant there would be no performances in the capital; in addition the political climate of Russia turned sharply against the Jews. Goldfaden's troupe soldiered on for a time—to Minsk, to Bobruisk where they played mainly to Russian soldiers, and to Vitebsk, where Jacob and the pregnant Sonya had to sue Goldfaden for their pay, and left to rejoin Rosenberg, playing in a tent theater in Nezhin. However, their fortunes soon proved even worse: provocateurs were traveling around the empire, stirring up pogroms, one of which soon swept through Nezhin. The troupe managed to avoid bodily harm by partly by convincing the rioters that they were a French theater troupe and partly by making judicious use of the money the Adlers had won in court from Goldfaden.

After a few more months of continuing to perform in Łódź and Zhytomyr, Sonya returned to her parents' house in Odesa to give birth to her daughter Rivkah (Rebecca), who later died in London at the age of 3. Sonya, too, died in London, from an infection contracted while giving birth to her second child, Abram ("Abe") Adler, in 1886 at age 27.

Four continents

Europeans in the 16th century divided the world into four continents: Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. Each of the four continents was seen to represent its quadrant of the world—Africa in the south, America in the west, Asia in the east, and Europe in the north. This division fit the Renaissance sensibilities of the time, which also divided the world into four seasons, four classical elements, four cardinal directions, four classical virtues, etc.

The four parts of the world or the four corners of the world refers to Africa (the "south"), the Americas (the "west"), Asia (the "east"), and Europe (the "north").

Depictions of personifications of the four continents became popular in several media. Sets of four could be placed around all sorts of four-sided objects, or in pairs along the façade of a building with a central doorway. They were common subjects for prints, and later small porcelain figures. A set of loose conventions quickly arose as to the iconography of the figures. They were normally female, with Europe queenly and grandly dressed, Asia fully dressed but in an exotic style, with Africa and America at most half-dressed, and given exotic props as attributes.

A three-cornered world

Before the discovery of the New World a commonplace of classical and medieval geography had been the "three parts" in which, from Mediterranean and European perspectives, the world was divided: Europe, Asia and Africa. As Laurent de Premierfait, the pre-eminent French translator of Latin literature in the early fifteenth century, informed his readers: "Asia is one of the three parts of the world, which the authors divide in Asia, Africa and Europe. Asia extends towards the Orient as far as the rising sun ('devers le souleil levant'), towards the south ('midi') it ends at the great sea, towards the occident it ends at our sea, and towards the north ('septentrion') it ends in the Maeotian marshes and the river named Thanaus."

A fourth corner: the enlarged world
For Laurent's French readers, Asia ended at "our sea", the Mediterranean; Western Europeans were only dimly aware of the Ural Mountains, which divide Europe from Asia in the eyes of the modern geographer, and which represent the geological suture between two fragmentary continents, or cratons. Instead, the division between these continents in the European-centered picture was the Hellespont, which neatly separated Europe from Asia. From the European perspective, into the Age of Discovery, Asia began beyond the Hellespont with Asia Minor, where the Roman province of Asia had lain, and stretched away to what were initially unimaginably exotic and distant places— "the Orient".

Cesare Ripa's Iconologia
In 1593, Cesare Ripa published one of the most successful emblem books for the use of artists and artisans who might be called upon to depict allegorical figures. He covered an astonishingly wide variety of fields, and his work was reprinted many times, though the text did not always correlate to the illustration. The book was still being brought up-to-date in the 18th century. Ripa's text and the many sets of illustrations by various artists for different later editions (beginning in 1603) took some of the existing iconological conventions for the four continents, and were so influential that depictions for the next two centuries were largely determined by them.

Europa is depicted as a woman dressed in fine clothes. She wears a crown while the papal tiara and crowns of kings lie at her feet, indicating her position of power over all the continents. The plentiful cornucopia shows Europe to be a land of abundance and the small temple she holds signifies Christianity. As a continent of great military force, Europe is also accompanied by a horse and an array of weapons. This probably draws on the Europa regina map schematic.

Africa, by contrast wears the elephant headdress and is accompanied by animals common to Africa such as a lion, the scorpion of the desert sands, and Cleopatra's asps. These depictions come straight from Roman coins with personifications of the Roman province of Africa, a much smaller strip of the Mediterranean coast. The abundance and fertility of Africa is symbolized in the cornucopia that she holds. Other personifications of Africa at the time depict her nude, symbolizing the Eurocentric perceptions of Africa as an uncivilized land. While the illustration of Africa in Ripa's Iconologia is light-skinned, it was also common to illustrate her with dark skin.

Ripa's Asia, seen by Europe as a continent of exotic spices, silk, and the seat of Religion, wears rich clothing and carries a smoking censer. The continent's warm climate is represented by the wreath of flowers in her hair. A camel takes its ease beside her.

The iconic image of America shows a Native American maiden in a feathered headdress, with bow and arrow. Perhaps she represents a fabled Amazon from the river that already carried the name. In other instances of American iconography, symbols meant to connote wilderness and a tropical climate occasionally included animals entirely absent from the Americas, such as the lion. Flora and fauna as images were often interchangeable between depictions of Africa and America during the seventeenth century due to the association of the tropical climate of Central and South America with that of Africa.

In addition to having an untamed landscape, America was portrayed as a place of savagery by virtue of the people who inhabited it. This can be seen in the woodcut as America is depicted as much more warlike than the other three continents. As Claire Le Corbeiller explains, America “was usually envisioned as a rather fierce savage – only slightly removed in type from the medieval tradition of the wild man."

The woodcut also shows America stepping on a human head, which is meant to connote cannibalism. Evidence of dismemberment, such as disembodied heads, in addition to America's bow and arrows and her lack of clothing were all meant to connote savagery. Such imagery was not uncommon in depictions of the Americas, but it was not always the case. In time, the image of a wild native being justly subjugated by a European conqueror was turned into a portrayal of an “Indian princess”.

Other depictions

The American millionaire philanthropist James Hazen Hyde, who inherited a majority share in Equitable Life Assurance Society, formed a collection of allegorical prints illustrating the Four Continents that are now at the New-York Historical Society; Hyde's drawings and a supporting collection of sets of porcelain table ornaments and other decorative arts illustrating the Four Continents were shared by various New York City museums.

The Renaissance associated one major river to each of the continents; Europe is represented by the Danube, Africa and Asia by the Nile and the Ganges respectively, and America is represented by the La Plata. The Four Rivers theme appears for example in the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, a 17th-century fountain in Rome designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the Piazza Navona in Rome, and in the painting The Four Continents by Peter Paul Rubens. Fountain of the Four Rivers, (Danube, Nile, Ganges, La Plata)

Decline
With the European discovery of the existence of Australia, the theme of the "Four Continents" lost much of its drive, long before another continent, Antarctica, was also discovered. The iconography survived as the Four Corners of the World, however, generally in self-consciously classicizing contexts: for instance, in New York, in front of the Beaux-Arts Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House (1907), four sculptural groups by Daniel Chester French symbolize the "Four Corners of the World".

Today
Continents have occasionally been grouped together by landmass. The four resulting continental landmasses are, from largest to smallest: Afroeurasia, America, Antarctica and Australia.

John Gardner (legal philosopher)

John Gardner (23 March 1965 – 11 July 2019) was a Scottish legal philosopher. He was senior research fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, and prior to that the Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of Oxford and a fellow of University College, Oxford.

Life and career
John Blair Gardner was born in Glasgow on 23 March 1965, the elder of two sons, to William Russell Williamson Gardner and Sylvia Gardner (née Hayward-Jones). His parents were both Germanists. His mother was a secondary school teacher and his father was a senior lecturer at the University of Glasgow and Chairman of the city's Goethe-Institut.

John Gardner attended Glasgow Academy from 1970 to 1982. He won (in 1982) a place to study modern languages at New College but switched to law before his first term (in 1983) began.

At the University of Oxford, Gardner received his BA, BCL (winning the Vinerian Scholarship), MA, and DPhil, under the supervision of Joseph Raz and Tony Honoré. He was associated with New College (as a student, 1983–7), All Souls College (as a fellow, 1986–1991, 1998–2000 and 2016–2019), and Brasenose College (as a fellow, 1991–1996). From 1996 to 2000 he was reader in legal philosophy at King's College London.

In 2000, at the age of just 35, he was appointed Professor of Jurisprudence at Oxford, taking over the chair previously held by H. L. A. Hart and Ronald Dworkin. In order to dedicate more time to his research he resigned the chair in 2016 and returned to All Souls as a senior research fellow.

Gardner died of cancer in July 2019, aged 54.

Honours and awards
Gardner held several visiting positions, including at Columbia (2000), Yale (2002–3, 2005), Princeton (2008), the Australian National University (2003, 2006, 2008), and most recently Cornell (2015). A (non-practising) barrister since 1988, Gardner was elected an (Academic or Honorary) Bencher of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple (one of the Inns of Court) in 2003. He was elected a fellow of the British Academy in 2013.

Breindele Cossack

Breindele Cossack (Yiddish: Breindele Kozak) is a darkly comic 1887 Yiddish-language play by Abraham Goldfaden, generally accounted one of the best of his early works. The title character is a woman who, at the start of the play, has already driven five husbands to suicide. The play is centered on her and her sixth husband, Guberman, who marries her fully aware of her history and believing he will be different; however, she ultimately drives him to suicide as well.

Talk:Vision quest

To do to improve
Though the Inuit example itself is a good start, the main portion of the article is the stubbiest of stubs. Here are some suggestions to improve: Please cross out list items as they have been incorporated or please add to the list. Thanks. CJLippert 19:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Define anthropologically what a vision quest is.
 * Explain the physiological and psychological mechanism of how the vision quest is achieved.
 * Explain how these physiological and psychological mechanism feeds into spirituality.
 * Provide example of spirituality differences from one group of people to another, but at the same time show how all these quests have the same/similar physiological and psychological mechanism. (So far, Inuit is covered, but what about Algonquian example, Siouan example, and Athapascan example for North American groups. What about Asian groups?  African groups?)

 * A lot of new age practitioners and neopagans are using vision quests as well. Also, the importance of drumming should be mentioned. --Deepraine (talk) 15:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, most of those are phony vision quests -- they pay up to $9000 for the privilege. --Bluejay Young (talk) 22:22, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

 * That's not entirely fair. While there are certainly suspect traditions to be found (as there are in most religious or spiritual practices), there is a substantial history for vision quests as part of neopagan, shamanic, eco-therapeutic and loosely "new age" practices. Stephen Foster and Meredith Little are just two of the major individuals known within these communities for integrating the techniques of the vision quest (as was or continues to be practiced among a variety of North American indigenous tribes) with other therapeutic and meditative methods. Cost, in these cases, is understood as part of the "give-away" system, honoring one's teacher with a gift (which, yes, in a capitalism, is usually monetary)--most costs I've seen are btw $500-2000, depending on locale and length of process. I think it would be great to expand this article to include both traditional indigenous vision quest practices and their new-age adoption. Madnessandcivilization (talk) 19:17, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

This article seems to be saying that what is contained is proven fact, rather than a matter of faith. Ted BJ

May I edit it to a more factual direction then? Aerius

All that is needed is to change it to a more indirect way, i.e. rephrase to something like "the legend says", or whatever. Just not write, like, "it is so" as if this is some bible, aye? Heh! Facts, no, but neutrality, yes.--OleMurder 21:48, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The problem is that the article starts out neutral, than part of the way through it suddenly becomes instructions for someone to undertake a vision quest. I might see what I can do with it later, afterwards, someone who knows more about this than I could try and fix it up. Goldbot 02:50, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've revised this page a little to reduce the "instructionism" content. Can the sign be removed now? --Figs 07:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * looks good to me. --Heah (talk) 15:00, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Should a reference be made to a synonymous term, "spirit walk?" Jbergquist (talk) 23:50, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Found where this came from
This article is ripped from the site http://www.crystalinks.com/visionquest.html. Thought you all might like to know.

 * I compared the information on that website and that in the article itself and apart from a very general similarity I had a hard time understanding what this anonymous editor meant by "ripped". Removed website from "external links".Deconstructhis (talk) 17:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

"Vision Quest"
The subject of this article is purportedly a specific set of religious concepts and practices engaged in by a great number of traditional societies and continues to the present day within the context of those cultures. In my opinion, categorizing this subject as "New Age" would be misleading to the average reader. I have no objection to mentioning in the body of the article that a similar practice is engaged in by people involved in the present "New Age" movement, but in my opinion implying that all such practices belong in the same Wikipedia category can not be supported.Deconstructhis (talk) 17:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

No female undertakes a vision quest. Those are for men only. Traditional Indians usually have very rigid gender roles and there are things women just don't do, and men just don't do. It's not that women are lesser, it's that they are different. --Bluejay Young (talk) 22:22, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Generalizing about the religious beliefs of "traditional Indians" is a tricky occupation most of the time, especially to the geographic and cultural extent that you appear to be claiming here. I haven't studied this subject cross culturally here in North America, but I do know that there is at least one exception to this blanket statement amongst some of the traditional Anishinaabeg. I suspect a little digging would surface a few more examples in other North American Nations. Check out "Traditional Ojibwa religion and its historical changes" by Christopher Vecsey, pg 124-125 who is citing Ruth Landes. There doesn't seem to have been any problem amongst at least some Ojibway women and the rest of their culture in terms of experiencing a "legitimate vision quest". I'm going to revert the edit and I'd appreciate it if you could please provide other editors with a citation from a reliable source before re-adding the material.  cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 02:49, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of a female vision quest tradition in any nation and would be extremely happy to be proved wrong. --Bluejay Young (talk) 12:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Jumping in long after you talked last; I don't want to prove you wrong, but am trying to understand this for myself and for the article. In his interviews with Yellow Wolf, L. V. McWhorter was told about circumstances where Nez Perce girls could receive a wyakin. He didn't say it was a "vision quest" but made it sound as if the quest for a spirit was something a girl could undertake. (Yellow Wolf: His Own Life, page 297) available . Could this be tribal? Something not discussed outside of certain circles? Something lost? Different because girls get access to different spirits? Completely false information fed to an inquisitive white man?Jacqke (talk) 00:07, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Needs work
I would say that this article needs work to make the tone encyclopedic and neutral. A lot of concepts are taken for granted and it reads as if written by an adherent to this belief system - ie it is written in an "in-game style". Totorotroll (talk) 13:24, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

POV dispute, September 2014
The person above me already wrote it more than a year ago, but didn't include the template. This article is a mess. The sentences are written as though the existence of visions from the spirit world was general knowledge and proven fact. The sources are not scientific in nature, as far as I can tell.

Possible solutions:
 * 1) Find actual, scientific sources that confirm the spirit world is in fact real and you communicate with it when you go on a vision quest. Then the article itself can be left as it is.
 * 2) Find scientific sources that describe at least the "earthly" aspects of vision quests (how they are performed etc.) and then their metaphysical interpretation or significance to practicing cultures. The article can be left as it is in most places but the parts that take metaphysical aspects as proven fact will need to be rewritten.
 * 3) Keep the sources, but rewrite the article so it is clear that these are the views of authors who have some sort of connection to the topic but did not perform rigorous scientific research.

Option (1) is unlikely to happen. Option (2) is my favorite, but option (3) would do as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.74.224.167 (talk) 21:35, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

>>> I don't think wikipedia articles are suppose to reflect just a scientific truth. The global encyclopedia that is wikipedia is supposed to be a source of information not to discuss what is the ultimate truth for a scientific-minded person, but information for everyone. Otherwise it is discriminating the access only for scientific-minded people, while a spiritual-minded person will find itself missing in its seeking for information. I myself am a scientific-minded person here but I think the opinnion above creates a more strict scientific encyclopedia out of wikipedia not a global vision. Is this what you want for wikipedia? Come on! Wikipedia seeks to become the greatest source of information ever available for mankind, and that includes the millions of people not scientific-minded. Let's be inclusive in information even if we don't agree on it. Information is not just facts or scientific truth, information is also beliefs (even if wrong), information is describing the different opinnions on a topic (example: abortion, drug legalization, same sex marriage), information is the different moralities in the world, the different cultural habits. Information is doversity and it is not discrimination or reducing it just to a few people that think information is just this or that. SineBot, let's have a more global vision for wikipedia, more inclusive of all human points of view. [Username: Irpsit]

You say it yourself: "information is describing the different opinions on a topic" - and that's exactly what is NOT happening in this article. In this article, opinion is stated as fact. That's the problem. --92.74.229.228 (talk) 18:40, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

A waffle is a dish made from leavened batter or dough that is cooked between two plates that are patterned to give a characteristic size, shape, and surface impression. There are many variations based on the type of waffle iron and recipe used. Waffles are eaten throughout the world, particularly in Belgium, which has over a dozen regional varieties.[1] Waffles may be made fresh or simply heated after having been commercially cooked and frozen. Waffles may also be considered, pancakes with abs. Demon spitz (talk) 03:09, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Edit request for Scandinavian waffles
The section on Scandinavian waffles should be clarified in that the waffles are round, not heart-shaped, but each slice is in the shape of a heart ( https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:Waffle_Maker.jpg ). Swedish wikipedia has source referenced this ( http://naringslivshistoria.se/bizstories-nyheter/history-marketing/vafflan-och-vaffeldagens-historia/ ) to the installation of cast iron wood stoves with round holes in the 1800s, which makes sense considering the size and history of Scandinavian style waffles. The article also states they're sweet, but it's important to differentiate the batter and toppings: the batter itself does not contain sugar, in contrast to american or belgian style waffles, but the toppings are by tradition sweet (jam, sugar, etc.). 176.10.252.166 (talk) 17:38, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Funeral director

A funeral director, also known as an undertaker or mortician (American English), is a professional who has licences in funeral arranging and embalming (or preparation of the deceased) involved in the business of funeral rites. These tasks often entail the embalming and burial or cremation of the dead, as well as the arrangements for the funeral ceremony (although not the directing and conducting of the funeral itself unless clergy are not present). Funeral directors may at times be asked to perform tasks such as dressing (in garments usually suitable for daily wear), casketing (placing the corpse in the coffin), and cossetting (applying any sort of cosmetic or substance to the best viewable areas of the corpse for the purpose of enhancing its appearance) with the proper licences. A funeral director may work at a funeral home or be an independent employee.

Etymology
The term mortician is derived from the Latin word mort- ('death') with the ending -ician. In 1895, the trade magazine The Embalmers' Monthly put out a call for a new name for the profession in the US to distance itself from the title undertaker, a term that was then perceived to have been tarnished by its association with death. The term mortician was the winning entry.

History
People's need to respect the dead and their survivors is as ancient as civilization itself, and death care is among the world's oldest professions. Ancient Egypt is a probable pioneer in supporting full-time morticians; intentional mummification began around 2600 BC, with the best-preserved mummies dating to around 1570 to 1075 BC. Specialized priests spent 70 full days on a single corpse. Only royalty, nobility and wealthy commoners could afford the service, considered by some to be essential for accessing eternal life.

Across successive cultures, religion remained a prime motive for securing a body against decay and/or arranging burial in a planned manner; some considered the fate of departed souls to be fixed and unchangeable (e.g. ancient Mesopotamia) and considered care for a grave to be more important than the actual burial.

In ancient Rome, wealthy individuals trusted family to care for their corpse, but funeral rites would feature professional mourners: most often actresses who would announce the presence of the funeral procession by wailing loudly. Other paid actors would don the masks of ancestors and recreate their personalities, dramatizing the exploits of their departed scion. These purely ceremonial undertakers of the day nonetheless had great religious and societal impact; a larger number of actors indicated greater power and wealth for the deceased and their family.

Modern ideas about proper preservation of the dead for the benefit of the living arose in the European Age of Enlightenment. Dutch scientist Frederik Ruysch's work attracted the attention of royalty and legitimized postmortem anatomy. Most importantly, Ruysch developed injected substances and waxes that could penetrate the smallest vessels of the body and seal them against decay.

Historically, from ancient Egypt to Greece and Rome to the early United States, women typically did all of the preparation of dead bodies. They were called "layers out of the dead". In the mid-19th century, gender roles within funeral service in the United States began to change. In the late 19th century, the industry became male dominated with the development of funeral directors, which changed the funeral industry both locally and nationally.

Role in the United States
In 2003, 15 percent of corporately owned funeral homes in the US were owned by one of three corporations. The majority of morticians work in small, independent family-run funeral homes. The owner usually hires two or three other morticians to help them. Often, this hired help is in the family, perpetuating the family's ownership. Other firms that were family-owned have been acquired and are operated by large corporations such as Service Corporation International, though such homes usually trade under their pre-acquisition names.

Most funeral homes have one or more viewing rooms, a preparation room for embalming, a chapel, and a casket selection room. They usually have a hearse for transportation of bodies, a flower car, and limousines. They also normally sell caskets and urns.

Organizations and licensing in the United States
Licensing requirements in the US are determined at the state level. Most require a combination of post-secondary education (typically an associate's degree), passage of a National Board Examination, passage of a state board examination, and one to two years' work as an apprentice.

Role in the UK
A funeral director in the UK will usually take on most of the administrative duties and arrangement of the funeral service, including flower arrangements, meeting with family members, and overseeing the funeral and burial service. Embalming or cremation of the body requires further training.

Organizations and licensing in the UK
In the UK no formal licence is required to become an undertaker (funeral director). There are national trade organizations such as the British Institute of Funeral Directors (BIFD), the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF).

The BIFD offers a licence to funeral directors who have obtained a diploma-level qualification; these diplomas are offered by both the BIFD and NAFD.

The British Institute of Embalmers (BIE) offers embalming training and qualifications.

All of the national organizations offer voluntary membership of "best practice" standards schemes, which includes regular premises inspection and adherence to a specific code of conduct.

These organizations help funeral directors demonstrate that they are committed to continuing professional development, and they have no issue with regulation should it become a legal requirement.

Role in Canada
The role of a funeral director in Canada can include embalming, sales, oversight of funeral services as well as other aspects of needed funeral services.

Organizations and licensing in Canada
A funeral director in Canada will assume many responsibilities after proper education and licensing. Courses will include science and biology, ethics, and practical techniques of embalming. There are a number of organizations available to Canadian funeral directors.

POV Part II
Removed the bit about its law school "producing the best graduates of either law school in South Australia, the other being Flinders University," - this is purely POV... especially as Flinders' law school has been rated the far higher of the two for many years now.
 * This article has a large amount of content, but also serious tone issues. I counted several instances of word usages like "long, more, excellent, one of the most, significant"... The Research Heading content is a good example of this: "who are recognised as worldwide leaders for their vision and capacity to address global research challenges." It reads not a little like a pamphlet. Guest (talk) 00:28, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

POV
Was there from 93 to 01. It was great in the earlier days. I think was terrible when I left - so dumbed down, doesn't even deserve to be in 8.

the two 'notable orators' were removed because they are current students not particular well known for public speaking.

Needs fleshing out by current students
Needs to be more stuff about campus life, politics, history etc. in line with other university pages.

Pictures
Does anyone have any pictures they can post of the campus? All there is at the moment is a picture of a sign, and a building which belongs to UniSA (Since the two campuses border each other).

VSU
It is my understanding of the VSU legislation that the Federal Government has no legislative power to compel the University of Adelaide to stop collecting Student Union fees. The legislation relies on the coersive nature of withdrawing federally funded university operating grants to stop the collection of fees. All students are still currently members of the Adelaide University Union. The constitution of the Union has yet to be ammended to exclude unfinancial students (ie post 31st July).

Possible hoax
While reviewing articles at Category:Category needed, I came across Wood-Bright Professor of Women's Studies. The wording is suspect ("The inaugural Wood-Bright Professor is Dr Nic Frost, who was appointed to the position in recognition of his years of dedicated servicing of some of the most desperate women in Australia"), and an anonymous comment on the talk page suggests that the article was created as a hoax. At the moment, the only article linking to it is here from the University of Adelaide, so I have flagged the appropriate section. Can anyone confirm or deny the authenticity of the professorship, and/or the existence of the British naturalist Frederic Wood Jones? --Elonka 18:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Blatant hoax. http://www.google.com/search?&q=%22Nic+Frost%22+site%3A.adelaide.edu.au and http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Wood-Bright Professor of Women's Studies%22+site%3A.adelaide.edu.au] return zeros. does seem to have actually existed though... I have removed the nonsense from this articel now. [[User:68.39.174.238|68.39.174.238] 18:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Did you find out anything about Frederic Wood Jones?  Is he real, or fictitious? What about his associate Wilfrid Le Gros Clark?  The bio looks plausible, but it also claims notability related to the Piltdown Man hoax, but there is no link from Piltdown back to Clark's bio. --Elonka 19:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

 * PubMed knows about him, Clark University hosts something that mentions him several times in concert with Piltdown. He's definately real (Although the articel may still be suspiscious. Since the subject of this articel mentions him and has pix of him here, I'm going to say that he's real. 68.39.174.238 10:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Digging into various page histories, here's the list of involved IP/users that I have discovered so far:
 * (added false information in January 2006)
 * (added false information in January 2006) (may have just been unrelated edits)
 * (added false information in September 2005  and June 19)  ( This user is probably also Baaaibsnrjp )
 * (added false information, such as creating article on June 19)
 * (On July 16, attempted to remove false information, and placed alert on talk page )
 * (added false information, by reverting someone else's attempt to remove it)
 * (re-added false information in August 2006)
 * It is also worth noting that on June 19, also created the Adelaide University Law Students' Society article (without any references), so I have flagged that one too as a possible hoax, until references can be provided (and yes, I know I can go Googling myself, but right now I'm concentrating on finding the extent of the hoax, so assistance would be appreciated). --Elonka 16:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the lack of diffs on the above list, but the Wood-Bright Professor of Women's Studies article was speedy-deleted, which means that I can no longer access its history without admin assistance. :/ For anyone curious, here is the related  AfD discussion. --Elonka 17:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * (update) I think the investigation is complete at this point. False information has been removed/deleted as appropriate, and the IPs have had warning templates placed on their talk pages (verror2-n).  The most recent attempt at vandalism was a few days ago, but hopefully this will stop it.  If not, further information can be collated here, and if necessary, we can contact the University to try and obtain further information and/or warn the students involved.  Thank you to everyone that assisted with the investigation and cleanup.  :) --Elonka 18:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * A lot of the headings and their content is a bit of a shambles. An entire section for an uncited alumni fund? What? May I suggest a structure thus:
 * History - needs expansion and subsections, perhaps "founding", "early 1900s" (eg expansion), "late 1900s" (eg massive changes in 1960s, student radicalism) and "Present Day" (international students, greater expansion, VSU)
 * Camuses - ok as is.
 * Academic - include "Enrolment" here, it doesn't need its own one-sentence section. There are some serious issues with this section right now ("due to forward thinking strategies", what?? I can't even work out what this promotion is all about)
 * Faculties
 * Research
 * Music
 * Student life - I actually think the heading is ok, perhaps "Student activities". Mention overarching associations here (AUU etc)
 * Clubs
 * Sport
 * Media
 * Notable alumni - mention the most notable alumni like Florey, Oliphant, Bragg, etc. Link to full list

Notable people images
The university appears to have quite a number of notable alumni/people associated with as can be seen in List of University of Adelaide people, so it seems a bit undue to show two images in this particular section. While both Robin Warren and Joni Madraiwiwi seem to certainly be excellent representatives of the university, I'm wondering if there's any particular reason why these two have been selected to have their images displayed over other notable alumni. The Warren image appears to have been added quite some time ago, so maybe there was a consensus established to do so; the addition of the Madraiwiw image, however, is much more recent and appears to have been removed for various reasons only to be re-added again. Perhaps it might be best not to have any images of person used in this section since adding one appears to be seen as a reason to add more. If that seems to be too extreme of an approach, then perhaps it would be best to establish criteria for inclusion such as talk page consensus, and a hidden note could be added to the section explaining this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:14, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd be tempted to abolish the section altogether, but a quick skim of other Australian university articles show they all have one, although without photographs. It seems like a grab-bag of whoever someone thought was "especially notable" some time. Even the subordinate List of University of Adelaide people is highly unlikely to be complete with every person who meets the criteria and could have a Wikipedia article about them, and probably doesn't even list everyone who has an article about them. --Scott Davis Talk 03:27, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd also support removing these sections from the articles on all the universities. As Australian universities are usually huge and a high proportion of the population (and especially people who are likely to become notable for contributions to scientific, arts, government, business or white collar fields, all of whom are probably over-represented proportionally on Wikipedia) have been to university, it's hardly surprising that there are large numbers of notable alumni for all of them. The only people potentially worth highlighting in these article are those who became notable due to their connection with the university. Nick-D (talk) 07:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I think such lists are common with respect to articles about universities in general, not just ones about Australian universities; so, removing them across the board is probably going to need a well-established consensus via an RfC with lots of participants, even if it's something just applicable to Australian universities. Such a thing might sound a bit daunting, but it's been done before for other things like WP:INFOBOXETH and MOS:NOETHNICGALLERIES and just takes some time. Technically a local consensus could be established here to remove the section or the images from this particular article, but there might be those opposed of such a thing trying to use WP:OTHERCONTENT, etc. to justify re-adding them.FWIW, the subjective nature of who to mention or whose picture to display is going to always lead to disagreements, and some people might simply want someone they know or feel a connection to added just for personal reasons. That's why it might be a good idea to try and establish some basic WP:CSC for mentioning someone and using their image (assuming the total removal referred to above is not chosen course of action) in the main university article, so that there's at least something which can be used to in deciding who to leave in and who to leave out. Pretty much the most basic inclusion criteria you can have per WP:ALUMNI (that's a WP:WPSCHOOLS guideline, but it also seems applicable here) is for there to be a stand-alone article about the individual, but after that more specific citeria can be estabslished; for example, people whose Wikipedia notable is for the most part derived from their connection to the university can be considered for inclusion, while people who just graduated from the university and then went on to accomplish things which made them Wikipedia notable are more suited for the list article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:32, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Mortician (band)

Mortician is an American death metal band formed in Yonkers, New York, in 1989. They have released most of their albums since their House by the Cemetery EP with Relapse Records, but have released their latest album with their own label, Mortician Records. They have toured several times throughout America and Europe. The band is inspired by horror and slasher films, which is heavily expressed in the lyrics, artwork, and the uses of samples throughout their discography.

Influences
Mortician is influenced by other seminal death metal and grindcore acts, chiefly Repulsion, Impetigo, and Autopsy, but also Massacre, Terrorizer, Incantation, Pungent Stench, Napalm Death, and Carcass. Founding members were also heavily influenced by Black Sabbath.

Current

 * Will Rahmer – bass, vocals (1989–present)
 * Roger J. Beaujard – guitars (1991–present)
