Wildside (Australian TV series)

Wildside is an Australian crime drama television series broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation from 1997 to 1999. It was created by director Michael Jenkins and producer Ben Gannon.

Wildside began as a 180-minute miniseries which aired over two nights on November 23, 1997 and November 24, 1997. It returned on February 4, 1998 in a one-hour format.

The show stars Tony Martin as Bill McCoy, a former detective who comes to Sydney looking for his missing son. Unlike other police procedurals, it also follows the staff of a crisis centre, run by Dr. Maxine Summers (Rachael Blake), in the gritty, red-light district of the city.

The series was filmed in Darlinghurst, Sydney and was characterised by its use of ad lib dialogue and hand held camera work. The show was critically acclaimed, winning several Logie Awards, including Most Outstanding Miniseries Logie in 1998, and Silver Logies for outstanding work by Tony Martin and Rachael Blake in 1999, as well as several Australian Film Institute Awards.

Starring
The following appear in the opening credits as series regulars:
 * Tony Martin as Bill McCoy, a former detective searching for his missing son who is persuaded to rejoin the police
 * Rachael Blake as Dr. Maxine Summers, a doctor who runs a community crisis centre
 * Aaron Pedersen as Vince Cellini, an Italian-Australian lawyer at the crisis centre who later discovers his Aboriginal heritage (miniseries, 1.01–2.10)
 * Jessica Napier as Gerry Davis, the receptionist at the crisis centre and a former street kid and sex worker herself (miniseries, 1.01–1.36)
 * Alex Dimitriades as Detective Charlie Coustos, McCoy's partner (2.01–2.20, also starring in 1.09–1.36)
 * Abi Tucker as Detective Kate Holbeck, colleague of McCoy and Coustos, who later becomes Coustos' wife (2.11–2.20, also starring in 2.01–2.10)

Also starring
The following recurring cast members are credited at the end of every episode in which they appear, before the preview of next week's episode and separated from the other guest actors.
 * John Howard as Detective Frank Reilly, McCoy's corrupt former partner (miniseries, 1.01)
 * Victoria Longley as Inspector Virginia King
 * Tammy MacIntosh as Detective Kim Devlin, Reilly's partner, becomes McCoy's partner (miniseries, 1.01–1.08)
 * Richard Carter as Detective Brian Deakin, colleague of McCoy and Coustos
 * John O'Hare as Rob Summers, Maxine's husband, they later divorce (miniseries, 1.01–1.08)
 * Abbie Cornish as Simone Summers, Maxine's daughter
 * Jim Holt as Sergeant Graham Holbeck, Kate's father (1.26–2.16)
 * Mitchell McMahon as Nick McCoy, Bill's son (miniseries, 1.39–2.04)
 * Mary Coustas as Louise Arden, Vince Cellini's replacement as the crisis centre's resident lawyer (2.11–2.20)

Former police detective John Haas acts as the show's police adviser and appears in the background of nearly every episode as Detective Mark Doyle, a colleague of McCoy and Deakin.

Martin and Blake were the only actors to appear in every episode. They began an off screen relationship during the show's run and married in 2003.

Production and broadcast
Wildside was created by Michael Jenkins and Ben Gannon and originally produced as a miniseries. It was first broadcast on November 23, 1997 and November 24, 1997. A further 36 episodes were broadcast between February and September 1998. After the first series, Jessica Napier was written off the show, with the writers admitting they found it difficult to find storylines for her character.

A second series of 20 episodes was broadcast between February and July 1999. The show was cancelled in December 1998 due to high production costs and the difficulty in selling the show overseas.

In repeats and syndication, the miniseries was edited into the first four episodes of the 40-episode first series.

The style of production was very similar to Jenkins' earlier series Scales of Justice and Blue Murder, particularly the "observational" use of multiple hand-held cameras and the density of semi-improvised dialogue. Many of the cast had previously worked with Jenkins and Gannon in Blue Murder and Heartbreak High, including regulars Tony Martin, Alex Dimitriades and Abi Tucker, and guest stars Hugh Baldwin, Scott Major, Mario Gamma, Jon Pollard, Sebastian Goldspink, Doris Younane, Emma Roche, Salvatore Coco, Tara Jakszewicz, Inge Hornstra, Diane Craig, Vince Poletto, Tai Nguyen and Nina Liu. Nico Lathouris acts as the show's dramaturg and acting coach, continuing his long collaboration with Jenkins and Gannon.

Controversy
Several episodes of the show were based on real life crimes and events, which led to some controversy. The thirteenth episode of the first series, which aired on April 22, 1998 and involved the stabbing of a cab driver, did not initially air in New South Wales, due to a court case that was proceeding at the time. Another episode, which aired on May 6, 1998, was based on a real life incident in which a Muslim boy was run down by a car. It aired with a disclaimer: "The story of the injured boy depicted in the following episode of Wildside is inspired by real events. However, the action of some characters has been significantly altered for dramatic purposes."

An episode which featured a far right female politician resembling Pauline Hanson was pulled by ABC in June 1998, claiming it was "inappropriate" to air on the eve of the Queensland election. Aaron Pederson quit the show in protest, before being convinced to return by the show's producers. The episode aired the following week.

DVD release
The series was released by the ABC on DVD in three volumes, each containing 20 episodes across 5 discs.

Adjusted gross income

In the United States income tax system, adjusted gross income (AGI) is an individual's total gross income minus specific deductions. It is used to calculate taxable income, which is AGI minus allowances for personal exemptions and itemized deductions. For most individual tax purposes, AGI is more relevant than gross income.

Gross income is sales price of goods or property, minus cost of the property sold, plus other income. It includes wages, interest, dividends, business income, rental income, and all other types of income. Adjusted gross income is gross income less deductions from a business or rental activity and 21 other specific items.

Several deductions (e.g. medical expenses and miscellaneous itemized deductions) are limited based on a percentage of AGI. Certain phase outs, including those of lower tax rates and itemized deductions, are based on levels of AGI. Many states base state income tax on AGI with certain deductions.

Adjusted gross income is calculated by subtracting above-the-line deduction from gross income.

Gross income
Gross income includes "all income from whatever source", and is not limited to cash received. It specifically includes wages, salary, bonuses, interest, dividends, rents, royalties, income from operating a business, alimony, pensions and annuities, share of income from partnerships and S corporations, and income tax refunds. Gross income includes net gains for disposal of assets, including capital gains and capital losses. Losses on personal assets are not deducted in computing gross income or adjusted gross income. Gifts and inheritances are excluded.

Adjustments
Gross income is reduced by certain items to arrive at adjusted gross income. These include:
 * Expenses of carrying on a trade or business including most rental activities (other than as an employee)
 * Certain business expenses of teachers, reservists, performing artists, and fee-basis government officials,
 * Health savings account deductions,
 * Certain moving expenses
 * One-half of self-employment tax,
 * Allowable contributions to certain retirement arrangements (SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, and qualified plans) and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs),
 * Penalties imposed by financial institutions and others on early withdrawal of savings,
 * Alimony paid (which the recipient must include in gross income),
 * College tuition, fees, and student loan interest (with limitations and exceptions),
 * Jury duty pay remitted to the juror's employer,
 * Domestic production activities deduction, and
 * Certain other items of limited applicability.

Reporting on Form 1040
Gross income is reported on U.S. federal individual income tax returns (Form 1040 series) type of income. Supporting schedules and forms are required in some cases, e.g., Schedule B for interest and dividends. Income of business and rental activities, including those through partnerships or S corporations, is reported net of the expenses of the business. These are reported on Schedule C for business income, Schedule E for rental income, and Schedule F for farm income.

Modified AGI
Certain tax calculations are based on modified versions of AGI. The definition of "modified AGI" varies according to the purpose for which the related calculation is being used. These modified versions of AGI may add certain items to AGI that were excluded in computing both gross income and adjusted gross income. Common additions include tax exempt interest, the excluded portion of Social Security benefits and tax-free foreign earned income.

Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs

The Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) was a bureau within the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and a predecessor agency of the modern Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

History
It was created by § 3 of the Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1968, submitted to Congress on 7 February 1968 and effective 8 April 1968. It was formed as a subsidiary of the United States Department of Justice, combining the Bureau of Narcotics (from the United States Department of the Treasury) and Bureau of Drug Abuse Control (from the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's Food and Drug Administration) into one agency.

In 1973, the BNDD was merged into the newly formed Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Activities
In 1971, the BNDD was composed of 1,500 agents and had a budget of some $43 million (which was more than fourteen times the size of the budget of the former Bureau of Narcotics).

In January 1971 the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director, Richard Helms, approved a program of "covert recruitment and security clearance support to BNDD", on request of the BNDD director, John Ingersoll. Ingersoll suspected widespread corruption among BNDD agents, and in December 1970 requested the CIA's assistance in rooting it out.

Signs and symptoms
Source:
 * having strong cravings for the substance that keep you from thinking about anything else and making you feel as though you have to use it frequently—
 * daily or perhaps multiple times a day
 * gradually requiring more medication to achieve the same result
 * taking the medication for longer than you had meant to and in bigger doses
 * ensuring that you keep the medication on hand
 * spending money on drugs despite not being able to afford them
 * Cutting back on social or recreational activities or failing to fulfill commitments and work responsibilities due to drug usage
 * staying on the medication despite knowing that it’s negatively impacting your life and your health or mental state
 * stealing or engaging in other actions you wouldn’t ordinarily perform in order to obtain the substance
 * Operating a vehicle or engaging in other hazardous tasks while under the influence of drugs
 * Investing a significant amount of time obtaining the drug, taking it, or recuperating from its consequences
 * Not being successful in quitting the drug
 * Having withdrawal symptoms when you try to cut back on the medication

After the deal was finalized, the current name was adapted in November 2015 to reflect the new ownership.

Ansaldo
In 1853, the company Gio. Ansaldo & C. was registered in Genoa as a manufacturer of steam locomotives, rail rolling stock and steam engines. The company was backed by Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, the powerful finance minister of Piedmont-Sardinia, who aimed to reduce its dependence on imported trains and rolling stock. Ansaldo entered the age of the steam locomotive in 1854 with its model FS113, also known as Sampierdarena. During the First World War, Ansaldo became a large supplier of weapons to the Italian army; facing insurmountable difficulties with post-war reconversion to civilian industry, the company was eventually nationalised in 1921. During the rest of the 1900s, the company diversified in different fields, especially power generation (Ansaldo Energia) and nuclear research, while the rolling stock activities were reunited under Ansaldo Trasporti.

Breda
In 1886, Ernesto Breda founded in Milan Società Italiana Ernesto Breda. By 1908, Breda's thousandth locomotive was built. Breda entered the electric locomotive era in 1936 with the production of the FS Class ETR 200 series electric multiple unit. In 1939 this type set the land speed record for rail vehicles at 203 km/h. Similarly to Ansaldo, also Breda became a main weapon supplier to the Fascist regime, especially of artillery and airplanes. After the Second World War the company was facing bankruptcy, and was eventually nationalised in 1947. During the Italian economic miracle of the 1950-60s, Breda produced a highly successful commuter train, the FS Class ETR 300, several classes of railcars and locomotives, and diversified into defense (OTO Melara) and, especially, buses. In the 1980s Breda participated in the consortium that designed the first Italian high-speed train, the FS Class ETR 500.

Merger and crisis (2001–2015)

In a massive restructuring effort, in 2001 the Italian state merged all the rolling stock activities of the then loss-making Ansaldo and Breda in a new company, AnsaldoBreda, that in turn became part of the Finmeccanica state-owned group. The new company won a string of big contracts across Europe and the United States; however, lacking adequate funding and capacity, AnsaldoBreda became infamous for its unreliable products and long delays, damaging the reputation of the company.

Controversies during the 2000s
In 1991, 100 4000 Series railcars from AnsaldoBreda were delivered to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. On 4 July 2010, after several incidents where the doors would open while the train was in motion, Metro removed the fleet for repairs until 20 July that year. On 17 November 2016 Metro discovered an error in which a 4000-series car would display an incorrect speed limit to a train operator while in manual mode (which is the only mode used since the June 2009 Washington Metro train collision). On 7 June 2017 Metro announced that the 4000-series cars would be fully retired and removed from service on 1 July 2017, and by that date all cars were taken out of service.

Delivery of 83 IC4 AnsaldoBreda trainsets for the Danish State Railways DSB was originally planned for 2003–2006. However, the last train was delivered only in 2013 and IC4 trains have seen many technical problems during their service. DSB announced in 2016 that the trains would be withdrawn from service from 2024.

After winning a big contract for the Dutch-Belgium Fyra project in 2004, nine V250 train units were delivered to the Dutch partner NS over five years later than originally contracted. Soon after the trains went into service on the high-speed line between the Netherlands and Belgium, the V250 suffered a number of severe technical problems. The Fyra had a poor reputation for reliability. After a month of operations more than 5% of all trains were cancelled and less than 45% of them ran on schedule. On 31 May 2013, the Belgium partner NMBS/SNCB announced that they would exit the Fyra project and cancel the contract with AnsaldoBreda.

The City of Gothenburg in Sweden has ordered 40 one-directional Sirio trams which were to be put into service on the Gothenburg tram network during 2005 and onwards. The trams were delivered late and functioned poorly when put into traffic. Among reported problems were corrosion, excessive track damage caused by the trams, malfunctioning air conditioners inside the trams and poor ride quality. The City of Gothenburg therefore withheld a large part of the payment for a delivered tram until fully operational.

The 32 two-directional trams delivered for the Oslo Tramway from 1999, called SL95, have met several difficulties with rust during snowy weather and the heavy weight necessitates much maintenance to streets and tracks, which make the trams expensive to operate. They are also considered to create more noise than necessary. The replacement of the trams will start in 2020 and the last trams will be taken out of service in 2024.

After 7 years on a 4-year project the region of Stockholm decided to cancel the contract on new signal system for the red metro line in Stockholm with Ansaldo on 1 billion SEK. The prepayment of hundreds of million SEK is currently up in arbitration court.

The Italian high-speed trains program
In spite of its overall terminal crisis, AnsaldoBreda managed to successfully participate in the Italian high-speed trains program until the very end of its existence. The ETR 500, that entered service in 1993, was continuously upgraded and ran at a record speed of 362 km/h in the Monte Bibele tunnel between Florence and Bologna in 2009, setting a speed record for trains in a tunnel. A new generation high-speed train, the Frecciarossa 1000, was developed in a consortium with Bombardier Transportation and entered service in 2015. On 26 February 2016, a Frecciarossa 1000 reportedly attained a peak speed of 393.8 km/h while traversing the Torino-Milano high speed line.

Hitachi Italy era (2015 to present)
Lacking the funds for a proper restructuring of its troubled subsidiary, Finmeccanica announced on 2 November 2015 the 'closing of transactions' covering the purchase of AnsaldoBreda by Hitachi, together with Finmeccanica's 40% stake in Ansaldo STS, for $2.2 billion.

Under the agreements signed on 24 February 2015, following a dividend distribution announced on 6 March, the purchase price for Finmeccanica's stake in Ansaldo STS has been set at €9.50 per share, amounting to a total of €761m. The total net consideration to be paid for AnsaldoBreda as a going concern, including property assets, amounts to around €30m. As a part of the deal Finmeccanica would keep the responsibility for some residual contracts.

Since being acquired by Hitachi, production of some British Rail Class 802 has been shifted to Hitachi Rail Italy's Pistoia plant due to Hitachi Rail's Newton Aycliffe plant, being at capacity.

Mike Montgomery

Michael John Montgomery (born February 27, 1947) is a retired American basketball coach. He is best known for his 18-year tenure at Stanford (1986–2004), where he led the program to 12 NCAA Tournaments, including a Final Four appearance in 1998. Montgomery previously served as head coach at the Montana (1978–1986). Following his time at Stanford, he coached the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA) for two seasons (2004–2006) before ending his career at the University of California (2008–2014). He announced his retirement from coaching following the 2013–14 season.

Over his 32-year collegiate coaching career, Montgomery made 16 NCAA Tournaments, captured 6 conference championships, and amassed nearly 700 victories. He also led Stanford to the NIT championship in 1991.

Early years
Born and reared in Long Beach, California, Montgomery graduated from its Millikan High School and attended Long Beach State. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education from Long Beach State and later a Master's degree in physical education from Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Montgomery is an alumni member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, which he joined while at Long Beach State.

College coaching career
Montgomery compiled a 677–317 (.680) overall record in over 30 years at Berkeley (2008–2014), Stanford (1986–2004) and Montana (1978–1986). He boasts 31 winning seasons in his 32 years as a head coach at Berkeley, Stanford and Montana. Montgomery's Stanford teams reached the NCAA tournament ten straight times from 1995 to 2004. Stanford reached the Final Four under Montgomery in 1998, the school's first Final Four appearance in 56 years. He made his third appearance along the USA Basketball sidelines in 2002 when he was named an assistant under George Karl for the US national team in the 2002 FIBA World Championship.

Prior to being named head coach at Montana in 1978, he was an assistant for the Grizz in Missoula for two seasons under new head coach Jim Brandenburg, who succeeded hall of famer Jud Heathcote in 1976. Brandenburg left after two season for Wyoming in 1978 and Montgomery was promoted. At Montana, Montgomery coached future NBA players Micheal Ray Richardson and Larry Krystkowiak. Prior to Montana, Montgomery was an assistant for three years at Boise State under Bus Connor, and had previously been an assistant for a season each at four different schools.

In 2000, Montgomery was named the Naismith and Basketball Times Coach of the Year. He was also named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year four times. Following his career at Stanford, he was awarded the John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Lifetime Achievement Award.

On August 30, 2007, Stanford University announced that Montgomery was returning to the university as Assistant to the Athletic Director on a part-time basis. According to the announcement, "his duties will include fund raising and public relations while also serving as a mentor to Stanford's coaching staff."

On April 4, 2008, Montgomery was named the head coach of the California men's basketball program. In his first season the Golden Bears went 22–10 and made it to the NCAA tournament, where they lost in the first round to Maryland.

On February 27, 2010, Cal defeated Arizona State, 62–46, to clinch at least a tie for the Pacific-10 Conference championship, the first for the school since 1960. On March 6, the Bears defeated Montgomery's former team, Stanford, 71–61, to clinch an undisputed conference championship. Cal was defeated by Washington in the finals of the Pac-10 tournament, but received a bid to the NCAA tournament, where they were seeded 8th in the South Region. The Bears advanced to the second round, where they were defeated by eventual National Champion Duke.

On March 31, 2014, Montgomery announced his retirement from California.

NBA coaching career
Montgomery left Stanford to become the head coach of the Golden State Warriors on May 21, 2004. He coached the Warriors for two seasons, during each of which the team compiled identical 34-48 records. Montgomery was terminated as Warriors coach on August 29, 2006.

Personal
In October 2011, Montgomery revealed that he had recently been diagnosed and treated for bladder cancer. After a surgical procedure was performed, Montgomery declared himself "cancer-free.

On February 18, 2013, Coach Montgomery was reprimanded by the Pac-12 Conference for shoving one of his players in the chest during a game against USC. The conference did not announce what punishment Montgomery received for his actions, although he was not suspended. Commissioner Larry Scott commented, "While emotions can run high in competitive environments, Pac-12 coaches are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will reflect credit on the institution and the conference."

Montgomery and his wife Sara have two adult children; son John is an assistant coach at Hawaii.

Talk:Thaksin Shinawatra

Length of article
I've done a check and discovered that this is the 4th-longest article on a national leader of any at the English Wikipedia. Only Bush, Blair and Berlusconi have longer articles. This article is longer than those for Chirac, Hu Jintao, Putin, Merkel or Koizumi. With all due respect to Thailand, I don't think any one would argue that it is the 4th most important country in the world, or Thaksin a more important figure than Hu Jintao or Putin. The reason this article is so long is that Patiwat keeps writing more and more and more material. At my urging we have already created two spin-off articles, Policies of the Thaksin government and Thailand political crisis 2005-2006. If these three articles are taken together, there is probably more material at Wikipedia about Thaksin than about any current national leader except Bush. Yet still the article keeps growing. I admire Patiwat's industry, but this article is now as big as it needs to be, and Patiwat should stop writing more and more detailed coverage of Thaksin's policies in every conceivable area. Adam 10:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I think maybe we should all focus on expanding the branch articles, and possible establishing some more new ones. From the history of this entry, I know several administrators do watch this entry on a regular basis.  Any of them would like to weigh in on this matter?  Tettyan 14:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Frankly, I do not think that Thailand's importance in the world has any relevance to how long the article is. Thaksin, through his policies and his actions, has been one of the most controversial Prime Ministers in Thai history.  A controversial topic requires factual support for all key sides of the argument - and this requires material.  I've already made several attempts to shorten things down significantly.  If an abler editor is able to summarize this material in a more concise manner, while still retaining factuality and neutrality, then please go ahead.  Be bold!  Furthermore, Thaksin's career is a current event.  Some of these events might be of historical importance, some not - but in the thick of things, it is pretty darn hard to judge.  Right now, Thaksin is at a critical stage in his political career.  Nobody is really sure what is going to happen 6 months from now on.  In this situation, I've always felt it more important to err on the side of being factual and informative, rather than being brief and high-level.  Things can always be moved or removed or edited if history or discussion among the editors deems that it is not relevant. Patiwat 21:17, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll be bold and say the article is not long enough. There are several topics which, in my opinion, absolutely need expansion.
 * Corruption. The article contains many weasely second-hand allegations of corruption, but I see no hard facts, clear examples, or reputable citations.  What about C-130?  What about the airport?
 * Stacking independent comissions with his people. Again, second-hand allegations of this are noted in the article, but the only example given is Chaiyasit Shinawatra.  What about Khunying Charuwan?  What about the Constitution Court?  What about the EC?
 * I've finally added 2 sentences mentioning the Khunying Jaruvan controversy, as well as a link to her article. The reason this is mentioned at all is to substantiate the "complaints that Thaksin has been stacking the civil service and independent commissions with his buddies" criticism. I hope this doesn't make the article too long. Patiwat 03:00, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it's worth pointing out that "Patiwat" means "coup" in Thai? Neutrality much? --117.102.154.1 06:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The article is sufficiently divided and the length is explained by the volume of news related to Thaksin personally as a Businessman or public person, and not as an elected representative.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.176.106.71 (talk) 07:43, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I must admit I've occasionally meddled on this page, but I now feel that as an excyclopedic entry on a deposed tin-pot dictator this is far too long. It can't be Wikipedia's job to give more than a starting point for people who want to research the nitty-gritty of his undistinguished career. I'd suggest: Early Career, Rise to Power, Time in Office, After the Fall (or something, and this should be very brief), Criticism. And Criticism divided into a few broad areas: Corruption and conflicts of interest, Human rights abuses, Divisiveness, each meriting no more than two or three sentences simply summing up the broad charges.Properly referenced, that could guide the reader where he needs to go if she wants to know more. We don't need the war on drugs in seven different instances, eternally editing and re-editing over what the king really said, or detail each entanglement of Shin Corp.Sartoresartus (talk) 03:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree that the article is quite long. It would be great to summarize it and remove any irrelevant information. Some information can be moved to a seperate article. For example, AIS can be summarized and the information can be moved to the "Advanced Info Service" article.nogia123 (talk) 09:04, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

He is not Thai
He is Chinese. Why Chinese are allowed to run foreign country??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.129.8.205 (talk) 03:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * He's 15/16ths Thai, 1/16th Chinese. Jim Michael (talk) 16:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Dear Sir

He was born in Thailand, so he is a Thai. He is good or bad, follow the news, and judge.

 * Being born in Thailand doesn't necessarily mean you gain Thai nationality. But to the best of my knowledge Thaksin S. is a Thai national.TheHamburger (talk) 07:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

New edits
As the above comment indicates, the passionate are out in force again. Thanks for semi-protecting it. Even so, could those who wish to fulminate about the April 2009 protests please do that in the relevant section, right down at the bottom, now headed "self-imposed exile", and not in the introduction, where it doesn't belong (I've removed most of the addition for now). A lot of people have put some effort into tidying up the article, so perhaps as a matter of courtesy if nothing else, please scan the headings before unleashing the force of your rhetoric upon the stunned masses. Ideally the intro should I think be framed on the average laptop screen without scrolling: see the Winston Churchill entry as a good model (and by all means help condense what there is already).Sartoresartus (talk) 03:39, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Thanks for your neutral suggestions. Ddave2425 (talk) 10:13, 30 April 2009 (UTC)ddave2425

Having said that, there should eventually be be a bit about the protests in the "self-imposed exile" section, not of novel-length but mentioning the cancelled ASEAN+3 summit, intention to return to Thailand, call for revolution, quelling of protests, revocation of passport. The red-shirt protests as such probably need a page to themselves. In my humble opinion, as they say.Sartoresartus (talk) 03:55, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Involvement in Thailand's red shirt riot
Excuse me! Why did anyone (whose past contributions only involve in the Thaksin's page) remove the paragraph about his involvement in the recent Bangkok riot? The protest is the most widely publicize (and searched for) issue at the moment. I don't care if you're naiive enough to belive that he simply want to 'give moral support' to the protesters, but what was said there was 100% facts, no opionion. Please bring it back immediately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donny TH (talk • contribs) 10:19, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 * If you were to make the huge effort to scroll down to the bottom of this page, you might find your answer there. Sartoresartus (talk) 17:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Ok, from your logic, perhaps there's too much details there, but being the event that recieve world-media attention, it certainly deserves a place in the introduction. I'll 'condense' the paragraph a little more. Donny TH (talk) 21:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Reformer or fugitive?
Just because he was convicted of a crime in a Thai court does not mean he is guilty nor does this deserve more prominence than his role as a humanitarian. Democracy no longer exists in thailand. The world needs to know that the Thai courts are corupt, that the king approved the coup and that Thaksin supports one person, one vote democracy. I have not yet made any edits to the article, but I will revert biased edits.
 * 1. News flash: Guilty is defined as being convicted by a court.
 * 2. Humanitarian!? I've heard of lots of (good and bad) things he is, but humanitarian is definitely not one of them. Enlighten me.
 * 3. Democracy don't exist when a minority group of people came out rioting, throwing motolovs, burning buses, shooting at people, when the rest of about 60 millions sit depressed at home watching their nation falling apart on TV and pray for the crisis to stop.
 * 4. See my comment below about court. Just because it convicts someone you like doesn't mean it is corrupted.
 * 5. Go out to any crowded place and shout that thing you say about the King. I doubt if you'll last longer than 5 minutes. --Donny TH (talk) 05:43, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

When possible, please use third party, independent sources such as the BBC, New York Times or Associated Press. Thai based publications such as TheNation or Bangkok Post may not be neutral. Politics and corruption plagues Thai media, courts and military.Ddave2425 (talk) 10:18, 30 April 2009 (UTC)ddave2425
 * But Dude, you sounds like you live in Thailand and know things inside out when you said politic plague media and courts (wow.. others.. possible in some case, but court!.. that's a high and quite impregnable institution. 5 years ago, it rules against favour of Thaksin when he and his friends control Everything in Thailand), and if you do, you must have known what you're talking about. The Nation may presents facts in an biased commentary, but not Bangkok Post, (at least to a much lower scale.) (But if you exclude these 2, there' won't be much local English-language news source left, and international press don't report small incidents, only big ones like in April) By the way, what is reported in Thai media and international media during the April roits is pretty consistant, don't you think? --Donny TH (talk) 05:24, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Donny, give serious thought to whether "small incidents" really belong in a biographical article that is already too long. There are numerous other places to document your own take on every single detail.Patiwat (talk) 23:51, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I removed comparisons of Thaksin to AIDS and Hitler. Although these were referenced, it does not seem appropriate or encyclepedic, especially without context. I mean, in what way is Thaksin similar to AIDS, which is not even a person? If anything, it illustrates the bias of the sources. Ddave2425 (talk) 01:46, 3 May 2009 (UTC)ddave2425
 * Nice find! and to be correct, the source (who are individuals) is just making metaphoric comments in their point of view, but to search for those sentences in their speech and put it in here, it illustrates the bias of that writer. (whose name starts with a 'P' who has been editing this article a thousand times.) It's reverse psychology. Mentioning attacking statements that sounds silly to make the accused looks better. See the details and another example here: Finland Plot talk page. --Donny TH (talk) 04:37, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, Prawase is a physician and knows a few things about AIDS... :) When one of Thailand's most respected public intellectuals criticizes you that harshly, I'd think that should legitimately be included in the article? Same thing for the other examples: when one of Thailand's most respected monks calls you a demon, a German educated lawyer compares you to Hitler, and a newspaper that did notable reporting on the Killing Fields compares you to Pol Pot, I think it is notable.  More notable than, say, some psycho lady going onto Youtube using profanities and calling for Thaksin's murder (Donny, you know what I'm talking about, right?).  Seriously, remove all the comparisons if you like, EXCEPT for Prem's.  He's the Privy Council President (according to some, above politics), and any criticisms he makes of an elected politician are definitely noteworthy. Patiwat (talk) 23:45, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Patiwat, If Prawase knows something about AIDS, put it on the AIDS article page. I will remove those kinds of statements and we can bring in an admin if you wish. As for local media coverage, if the international media does not cover it, perhaps it does not belong on the Eghlish language wiki. I do not trust The Nation or Bangkok Post.

 * I think that list of comparisons from, as Patiwat says, notable people nicely illustrated our claim that T. is a 'controversial figure', which is all it was meant to illustrate. We ain't saying he's Hitler, we're saying his detractors compared him to.. (so that, dear reader, should give you an idea how much some people despise him). It is possible to edit all colour out of these articles and make them very dull. Read this fan of our collective efforts.
 * There'd be slim pickings if we had to rely on the international media, which (I'm sorry to have to say) largely rewrite the local media for want of anyone who speaks the language or has the faintest idea what's going on. Me, I don't trust the New York Times, and with very good reason. We'll just have to use a bit of discretion and try not to be children (says he, shaking his rattle). Sartoresartus (talk) 11:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

 * :: My 2 cents worth: I came here because I wanted to check out if Thaksin's corruption or alleged corruption has been so severe that it warrants years of campaigning against his group which has quite a following. The price for fighting Thaksin & Co has been upped significantly recently so I wondered if anybody or who was/is behind that.

Which policies might he have implemented to attract such hostilities that bring the country towards civil war and make that look acceptable? I was quite staggered by the creativeness and uniqueness of his policies. He certainly did not follow the rule books by those who pull the strings, and that does not endear you/him with the invisible layer of grey eminences. One example is the early re-payment of an IMF loan. They like countries to have these loans because that allows them influence. His policies were neither really left nor really right which is an irritant to those who pull the strings.

 * I also wanted to see on which scale Thaksin's corruption that we always hear about was. In comparison to German corruption before and under then Chancellor Helmut Kohl (our land in Berlin was affected, my own experience) it is not on a very high scale, but of course it is still 'verboten' - he and the wife should have known. His sister also made a severe mistake with that amnesty suggestion - it stirred up far too much and showed bad judgement.

In summary, yes, I believe now that there are forces which whip up anti-Thaksin groups - but who they are is not obvious to me. He is not a reformer or fugitive, he is a fugitive reformer, but the reforms were not the 'correct' ones. Ally Hauptmann-Gurski 121.209.53.9 (talk) 05:39, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Why "junta-appointed" is a significant term
"Junta-appointed" is a significant term that needs to be retained. Prior to the 2006 coup, numerous state agencies were established by the 1997 Constitution, e.g., the Constitutional Court, the Counter Corruption Committee. The 2006 coup abrogated the 1997 Constitution and effectively eliminated those state agencies. New agencies were established by the military government with somewhat similar names, e.g., Constitutional Tribunal, but had a completely different makeup as well as a legal context different from the 1997-2006 versions of the same agencies. For example, there were specific rules about what the 1997-2006 Constitutional Court could rule on and how it could rule - those rules did not apply for the junta-appointed Constitutional Tribunal. To be banned by the junta-appointed Constitutional Tribunal or have your assets frozen by the junta-appointed Asset Examination Committee was very different from having the same done by the 1997-2006 agencies.Patiwat (talk) 23:13, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Who caused the April unrest?
This is a loaded question, and can only be addressed by strictly adhering to Wikipedia NPOV policies. The reds have said that the blues provoked them with violence and that yellows set the precedent. The yellows will have said that the reds caused it. The short fact of the matter is that there were violent clashes between the UDD and government supporters. Can't we just leave it at that in the intro? The "he says this and she said that" detail can go in the article. Patiwat (talk) 23:27, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Asia Times
Does Sondhi still own the A.times online? I think that organ is so discredited that there's no point using it as reference for owt. Sartoresartus (talk) 09:31, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Career chronology out of sequence in favor of specious speculation
The section entitled, "Deputy Prime Minister under Chavalit" says that the July ecomomic collapse came after Thaksin took office in August and suggests he was to blame. Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but August comes after July. Duh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.28.16.33 (talk) 05:16, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I believe you're reading the text wrong. It means Thaskin took office in August soon after the economic collapse in July.  I've removed the word "soon" to make things clearer. -- Neil N    talk  ♦  contribs  12:43, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Verdict?
I think the one who wrote the verdict mistook some part with Thaksin's defence against the charge. You can see it from the reference he/she put in A summary of Dr Thaksin Shinawatra’s defence in the Supreme Court in the case to confiscate his assets, especially in the last 3 items. Please verify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.24.117.101 (talk) 16:56, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Any particular points where I misinterpreted the defence? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Patiwat (talk • contribs) 04:51, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Color pink
He was born on a Tuesday and his Thai solar calendar auspicious color not red but pink.

Wanted by Interpol?

Death rumours
Someone has already added his date of death to the article (now reverted), but Thaksin has apparently personally denied he's dead - --  Boing!   said Zebedee  21:28, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Thaksin is not dead. 122.0.2.2 (talk) 09:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Bullshit
I don't have the time to get involved in an edit war, but a quick scan reveals that some contributers here are fulminating nonsense. For example ''Just because he was convicted of a crime in a Thai court does not mean he is guilty nor does this deserve more prominence than his role as a humanitarian. ... Thaksin supports one person, one vote democracy.''

Totally wrong! Thaksin is a convicted criminal, no sensible person would call him humanitarian except as sarcasm.

As to Thaksin's view of democracy, consider this: one level where democracy here doesn't work too badly is at the local level: at least voters are personally acquainted with the candidates. Yet when P.M., Thaksin proposed that he appoint village headmen and subdistrict kamnans because, in his words, democracy doesn't work at the local level.

Foreign media has conveyed many misconceptions about Thai politics. Let's not compound that here at Wikipedia.Jamesdowallen (talk) 08:46, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi. I agree that personal analysis and judgment from either side should not be there (and I also agree that the complexities of Thai politics have been greatly over-simplified and often misrepresented by foreign media), but I don't see what we can do other than revert POV additions whenever we see them. I've had this page watched for some time, and I really don't see a high level of additions of such material - and the whole thing generally seems reasonably balanced to me -- Boing!   said Zebedee  09:10, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Reasonably balanced? That's debatable. But out of date? That's incontrovertible. This article seems to end with February 2010. I haven't examined the edit history, but if edits are responsible for the February cutoff, it's regrettable. Wbkelley (talk) 15:50, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

(Yayaying (talk) 05:26, 21 February 2011 (UTC)) Section about Royal Decoration should be removed.

Politician?
Editor IheartThailand has several times removed the word "politician" from the lead, claiming that Thaksin is no longer a politician. I disagree, as his role in politics is precisely what he is best known for. Even if he doesn't hold an official government or opposition role, that is only because he was driven out of it by a military coup and a prosecution that has bitterly divided the country. Thaksin is still the de facto of leader of the Thai opposition, and addresses large political rallies by way of satellite communication - and I doubt there is a single person in Thailand who thinks his political activity is in the past. It is important for Wikipedia to stay neutral, and adopt neither a pro nor anti-Thaksin stance, and neither a pro nor anti-monarchy stance regarding Thai politics. So, I bring it here to see what the consensus says - and I note that User:Frank appears to agree with me, and has also reverted IheartThailand's removal of the word "politician". Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:35, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do Support the designation of politician - we'd have much more difficulty establishing notability were it not for his political activity. That he is no longer prime minister doesn't change things. And you never know what might happen later. Frank  |  talk  21:51, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Nice example :-) Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:56, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Resignation or not
Quote here http://www.asiantribune.com/news/2006/04/06/thaksin-resigns clearly states that Thaksin resigned as PM on 6/4/06. Therefore he cannot been ousted as PM by the Coup, but only as party leader. Unless, of course, he had un-resigned. The Coup didn't take place until September of that year. Comments invited.Sushisurprise (talk) 13:44, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Parliamentary system. PM resigns, parliament dissolves, parties campaign, new elections occur.  Weeks before that last step, the military seized power and cancelled the elections.Patiwat (talk) 12:43, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Unsourced allegations
The Criticism section contains a number of unsourced allegations, which I have tagged as needing citations. Whether or not they are true, WP:BLP policy requires that we do not host unsourced negative allegations against living persons. So unless these are sourced fairly soon, they will need to be removed -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:00, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Moved from article
Oh this article gets almost amusing: his war on drugs was all about getting his dealers to offer suckers looking for 1g to go for 20g at a super cut-rate price; they would be arrested within seconds of their purchase, but possession of 20g qualifies you as a dealer and it enabled Thaksin to present glowing statistics about the number of dealers sentenced to 1g

And speaking of Thaksin without speaking of Temasek is speaking of the Pope without mentioning Catholicism.

Unsupported content
The followng is supported by a dead link. Remove it?

"In a November 2009 interview, Thaksin told The Times that he was living in Dubai, still had access to about $100 million of his money outside of Thailand, and was investing in gold mines, diamond polishing and lottery licenses in various countries."

B-class article
That this is rated as a B-class article demonstrates how worthless classification of articles is. Seligne (talk) 12:53, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

I'd rather try to make it B-class. Seligne (talk) 13:00, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Unsourced
I removed the following from the War on Drugs section:
 * Thaksin initiated several highly controversial policies to counter a perceived boom in the Thai drug market, particularly in methamphetamine. Earlier policies like border blocking (most methamphetamine is produced in Myanmar), education, sports, and promoting peer pressure had proved ineffective. In a 4 December 2002 speech on the eve of his birthday, King Bhumibol noted the rise in drug use and called for a "War on Drugs." Privy Councillor Phichit Kunlawanit called on the government to use its majority in parliament to establish a special court to deal with drug dealers, stating that "if we execute 60,000 the land will rise and our descendants will escape bad karma".
 * The government went out of its way to publicise the campaign, through daily announcements of arrest, seizure, and death statistics. According to the Narcotics Control Board, the policy was effective in reducing drug consumption, especially in schools, by increasing the market price.
 * As of the August 2011 parliamentary elections, Abhisit's investigation failed to find or publicise any conclusive evidence linking Thaksin or members of his Government to any extrajudicial killings. zzz (talk) 14:44, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Wrong jail
Thaksin is jailed at Bangkok Remand Prison, not Klong Prem Central Prison. Just wanted to point it out. Sources: 1, 2, 3 DylanDoesWiki (talk) 14:38, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Done. While the facilities are technically separate, they're part of the same complex, so sources sometimes refer to them interchangeably (if inaccurately). I've redirected the title for now, though it will need some sorting out. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:11, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Merge proposal
Hi all, it seems a bit odd to me that Thaksin Shinawatra's entry into politics is a separate article from this one. This article is certainly on the long side, so I can see the argument for a WP:SIZESPLIT, but I don't think the "entry into politics" section of his article is extensive enough to be a useful split target. To that end, I think it would be worth merging the "entry into politics" article back into here. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 15:51, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Maybe this should be a discussion about how best to structure coverage on Thakain's political career aside from his premiership, which already has its own article. --Paul_012 (talk) 05:49, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I just took a somewhat deeper dive into the article histories. As things stand now, Thaksin Shinawatra's entry into politics is almost identical to the "Entry into politics" section of this very article, with much of the text repeated nearly or exactly verbatim between the two locations. Looking at the page history of the two articles, it appears that a user created the "entry into politics" page in 2007 by cutting and pasting the relevant section of Thaksin's main article; another user subsequently reverted the removal of that content from the main article, leading to identical text being duplicated across two articles, and in the ensuing sixteen years, both versions of the text have diverged from each other in only minor ways.While I can certainly see a case in general for the existence of a standalone article on Thaksin's early political career, the tangled and redundant nature of this particular situation leads me to believe that a merge is the best solution here. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 18:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking into it. In that case that page can probably be redirected here until someone wants to attempt a proper reorganisation (in which case, I'm thiking a Political career of Thaksin Shinawatra would be more natural.) --Paul_012 (talk) 06:59, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for carrying out the redirect! I agree with your thinking that Political career of Thaksin Shinawatra would be the ideal title for a new split-out article, if/when someone tries their hand at it. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 15:08, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Napierian logarithm

The term Napierian logarithm or Naperian logarithm, named after John Napier, is often used to mean the natural logarithm. Napier did not introduce this natural logarithmic function, although it is named after him. However, if it is taken to mean the "logarithms" as originally produced by Napier, it is a function given by (in terms of the modern natural logarithm):
 * $$\mathrm{NapLog}(x) = -10^7 \ln (x/10^7) $$

The Napierian logarithm satisfies identities quite similar to the modern logarithm, such as
 * $$\mathrm{NapLog}(xy) \approx \mathrm{NapLog}(x)+\mathrm{NapLog}(y)-161180956$$

or
 * $$\mathrm{NapLog}(xy/10^7) = \mathrm{NapLog}(x)+\mathrm{NapLog}(y) $$

In Napier's 1614 Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio, he provides tables of logarithms of sines for 0 to 90°, where the values given (columns 3 and 5) are

 * $$\mathrm{NapLog}(\theta) = -10^7 \ln (\sin(\theta)) $$

Properties
Napier's "logarithm" is related to the natural logarithm by the relation

 * $$\mathrm{NapLog} (x) \approx 10000000 (16.11809565 - \ln x)$$

and to the common logarithm by

 * $$\mathrm{NapLog} (x) \approx 23025851 (7 - \log_{10} x).$$

Note that

 * $$16.11809565 \approx 7 \ln \left(10\right) $$

and

 * $$23025851 \approx 10^7 \ln (10).$$

Napierian logarithms are essentially natural logarithms with decimal points shifted 7 places rightward and with sign reversed. For instance the logarithmic values

 * $$\ln(.5000000) = -0.6931471806$$
 * $$\ln(.3333333) = -1.0986123887$$

would have the corresponding Napierian logarithms:

 * $$\mathrm{NapLog}(5000000) = 6931472$$
 * $$\mathrm{NapLog}(3333333) = 10986124$$

For further detail, see history of logarithms.
