Comment on move of MPEG-4 Layer 10 page
Hello, can you please explain why you moved MPEG-4 Layer 10 back to H.264? I believe people have been trying to standardise the names of all the audio codecs. -- FirstPrinciples 05:50, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Response
My perception is that the three most common names are H.264 or AVC or MPEG-4 AVC. No one properly calls it MPEG-4 Layer 10 ever (the correct term for the standards in the MPEG-4 suite is "part", not "layer"). The longstanding name of the page has been H.264, and I consider the attempt to rename it to be inappropriate, as it is the name used for the development of the page and is highly prevalent and not incorrect. Yes, people have been trying to get convergence on the naming, but different people seem to be trying to get convergence on different names. I see no reason to change the established page name from a correct one to an incorrect one.

Partly the problem is that this technical design fits into two families - ITU-T H.26x and ISO/IEC MPEG-x part x standards. Although H.264 and MPEG-4 part 10 are technically identical, they are formally two different standards. If there is only one page for the technology, the naming in one of the families is going to look a little funny.

(Also, this is video, not audio.)

 * OK, that's cool. I just wanted to make sure there was some rationale behind the move. Personally I have been quite confused by all the varying names, acronymns, etc. in this category. Thanks for your quick response. :) -- FirstPrinciples 06:57, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Lossy compression downsampling
Hi Pawnbroker,

Just wanted to say thanks for your recent contribution to Lossy compression. I was unfamiliar with cases where it was implemented (I just knew that bitrate peeling didn’t work) – I’ve actually just learned about JPEG progressive and JPEG 2000, so I very much appreciate your info. Thanks again.

Nils von Barth (nbarth) (talk) 18:27, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the nice remarks. —Pawnbroker (talk) 05:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Nice edit
Hey, nice edit to the MPEG1 article removing that idiotic quote that said video compression will never be better than MPEG1. Even in 2001 with the popularity of Divx and the advent of the then-new Xvid were way ahead of MPEG1. Oh and, even though I dont know you: merry christmas!--70.65.229.62 (talk) 07:01, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Not irritated with you!
I'm sorry, I just noticed you apologized to me for on Fischer's talk page for continuing the discussion of his heritage. I assure you, it wasn't you I was upset with, but the anonymous poster who kept this issue going. Thought I'd just let you know. BashBrannigan (talk) 17:33, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

River Bandon

The River Bandon (Abhainn na Bandan, from ban-dea, meaning "goddess") is a river in County Cork, Ireland.

The Bandon rises at Nowen Hill (one of the Shehy Mountains), to the north of Drimoleague. The river then flows to Dunmanway, before turning eastward towards the twin villages of Ballineen and Enniskean. It then makes its way through the centre of Bandon town, and on to Innishannon and Kilmacsimon, before draining into Kinsale Harbour on Ireland's south coast.

Tributaries include the Sally River and the Brewery River at Dunmanway, the "Small Blackwater" near Ballineen, and the Bridewell River at Bandon. The river is crossed by a total of 15 bridges (including two footbridges). There were also four railway bridges, one of which is still intact (on farmland near Dunmanway). The remains of the others—near Murragh, Bandon, and Innishannon—consist only of abutments and/or piers, with the spans having been removed.

Angling
The River Bandon is famous for its Atlantic salmon fishing: the biggest recorded salmon caught in Ireland since 1991 was landed by Bill Canning of Goresbridge, County Kilkenny on 7 July 2008. Mr Canning's salmon weighed 28 lbs 3 oz (12.8 kg) and is on display in the Munster Arms hotel in Bandon town.

Floods
On 19 and 20 November 2009 the river burst its banks for the first time in many years, causing large-scale flood damage to Bandon town and at other points along the river.

In December 2015, Bandon experienced further flooding as a result of Storm Desmond and Storm Frank.

Seattle Computer Products

Seattle Computer Products (SCP) was a Tukwila, Washington, microcomputer hardware company which was one of the first manufacturers of computer systems based on the 16-bit Intel 8086 processor. Founded in 1978, SCP began shipping its first S-100 bus 8086 CPU boards to customers in November 1979, about 21 months before IBM introduced its Personal Computer which was based on the slower 8088 and introduced the 8-bit ISA bus. SCP shipped an operating system for that hardware about a year before the release of the PC, which was modified by Microsoft for the PC and renamed IBM PC DOS. SCP was staffed partly by high-school students from nearby communities who soldered and assembled the computers. Some of them would later work for Microsoft.

Corporate history
Twenty-two-year-old Tim Paterson was hired in June 1978 by SCP's owner Rodney Maurice Brock (26 August 1930 – 30 November 2018). At the time, SCP built memory boards for microcomputers, but after attending a local seminar on Intel's just-released 8086 in late summer 1978, Paterson convinced Brock that his company should design a CPU board for the new chip. Paterson had a prototype working by May 1979, and he took his "computer" over to Microsoft, who were working on an 8086 BASIC, which was working before the end of May.

When the board began shipping in November, standalone Microsoft BASIC was offered as an option, but no operating system was available for it. Digital Research, whose 8-bit CP/M operating system was the industry standard, was working on an 8086-compatible version called CP/M-86, but the delay in its release was costing SCP sales. In order to fill this void, Paterson wrote QDOS (for Quick and Dirty Operating System) over a four-month period starting in April 1980. QDOS 0.11 was finished in August 1980, and SCP began shipping it in September 1980. The operating system was renamed to 86-DOS in December 1980.

Microsoft, having worked with SCP before and seeking an operating system they could modify for the IBM PC, bought the rights to market the 86-DOS operating system to other manufacturers for US$25000 that same month. On 27 July 1981, just prior to the launch of the IBM PC on the 12 August 1981, Microsoft bought the full rights to the operating system for an additional US$50000, giving SCP a perpetual royalty-free license to sell 86-DOS (including updated versions) with its computer hardware. Realizing that Microsoft was making significant profit on the 86-DOS operating system, SCP attempted to sell it along with a stand-alone inexpensive CPU (without any other circuitry). This was allowed as per SCP's license with Microsoft, which let SCP sell the operating system with their 8086-based computers; this operating system was marketed as "Seattle DOS", and a CPU was included in the box it shipped in.

Thanks to the deal with Microsoft, additional capital allowed Seattle Computer to expand its memory business into providing additional memory for PC products. The company had its best year in 1982, reaping more than a million dollars in profit on about US$4 million in sales.

By 1985, however, SCP's business was having difficulty trying to compete with offshore products (Brock once said, "they were selling memory boards for less than his cost for parts"), and Brock decided to sell the company. The only major asset SCP had left was the license it received from Microsoft when it signed over ownership rights to 86-DOS. Brock planned to sell (via merger) the license to the highest bidder, with a company such as the Tandy Corporation in mind. After Microsoft objected to Brock's "exaggerated interpretation" of the agreement and informed Brock that his license was nontransferable, Brock sued for US$60 million. The ensuing lawsuit was highly technical and grew to fill hundreds of pages in the months leading up to trial. The trial began at the end of 1986 and lasted three weeks. An out-of-court settlement was reached while the jury was deliberating. Microsoft paid SCP US$925000 and reclaimed its license for DOS.

SCP went out of business in the late 1980s as the market for Intel 8086 systems became dominated by PC compatible computers.

Lucario

Lucario is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Game Freak and finalized by Ken Sugimori, Lucario first appeared as a central character in the film Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, then as a cameo in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team, and later appeared in the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and later sequels. It additionally appears in various, spin-off titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise, and has been featured in several forms of merchandise, including figurines, plush toys, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Lucario is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa, Daisuke Sakaguchi, Rikako Aikawa and Kiyotaka Furushima in Japanese, and Bill Rogers and Sean Schemmel in English.

Known as the Aura Pokémon, Lucario can sense and manipulate Aura (波導), a special kind of life energy. Lucario has also been featured as a playable character in the crossover fighting game series Super Smash Bros. since Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Since its debut, Lucario has received a positive reception, with critics responding positively to its design, and it has been a popular Pokémon with fans of the series. It has frequently been used in real-world promotion, including as an ambassador to promote fitness with children.

Concept and creation
Lucario is a fictional species of Pokémon created for the Pokémon franchise. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the series began in Japan in 1996 with the release of the video games Pokémon Red and Blue for the Game Boy. In these games, the player assumes the role of a Pokémon Trainer whose goal is to capture and train creatures called Pokémon. Players use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon, and some can transform into stronger species through a process called evolution.

When developing Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, lead designer Ken Sugimori noted that the team wanted to "show new Pokémon that people have never seen before" and find ways to surprise people. He wanted the new designs to be able to "grow" on players and were intentionally made to feel "a little awkward at first". Director Junichi Masuda stated that when they started, they focused on "the strongest Pokemon" in each typing first. After the planning team was done, the design was finalized by Sugimori, who drew the species in multiple poses and defined smaller aspects such as its paws and face for the development team to work with afterward. Masuda considered Lucario's name as one of the most difficult to create, due to an effort to make it appeal to all audiences. The film Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, released during the game's development, affected how they approached Lucario's game counterpart, with Matsuda noting that he was excited to avoid the issues that arose with another Pokémon, Lugia, after the release of its own film.

Lucario is a canid-like Pokémon that is considered be partly based on Anubis, the jackal-headed god of embalming from Egyptian mythology that is a bipedal digitigrade with finger-like digits on its forepaws. Its chest and the exterior of its wrists each feature a single, white spike. Lucario also has a large snout and ears, red irises with vertical slit pupils, an "hourglass"-shaped figure with thighs significantly thicker than the rest of its body, iron rings incorporated into its shoulders and waist, and a raccoon's "mask" that loosely resembles a khakkhara with four small dreadlock-like appendages on the back of its head that are used to sense Aura. The coloration of Lucario's fur is predominantly blue and black, although its torso features buff-colored fur slightly shaggier than the rest of its body. When it opens its mouth wide enough, sharp fangs can be seen.

In the video games
Lucario's debut and first video game appearance was in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team, though it only appears in a cameo as a statue when the player gets the Lucario rank, the highest rank in the game. It then appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Lucario later gained a Mega Evolution—a special transformation—in Pokémon X and Y. While holding Lucarionite, its Mega Stone, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario during battle, gaining a power boost as a result. Lucario would go on to appear in several later games in the series. It also appears as a playable character in Pokémon UNITE and Pokken Tournament and was in other spin-offs such as Pokémon Go and Pokémon Masters EX.

Due to an unintentional leak on Nintendo's official Super Smash Bros. website, which detailed how certain collectibles could be applied to certain characters, Lucario was indirectly confirmed as a playable character for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Brawl, Lucario is unlocked upon being encountered in the story mode at The Glacial Peak or through other special means. Lucario's special moveset in the series consists of many moves it can use in the Pokémon series. Its "Final Smash," or a powerful finisher attack, Aura Storm, consists of launching a powerful beam of Aura at opponents. Lucario's fighting style revolves around a mixture of martial arts, including Shaolin Kung Fu, and Aura manipulation. Aura itself is also a game mechanic unique to Lucario; its attacks become stronger as it continues to receive damage.

Lucario returned as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and again in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, being voiced in both games by Sean Schemmel, who voiced Lucario in Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Additionally, its Aura mechanic now affects the entirety of its moveset. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Lucario's Mega Evolution, Mega Lucario, replaced Aura Storm as its Final Smash, reflecting the form change introduced in Pokémon X and Y. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, its Final Smash consists of it Mega Evolving into Mega Lucario before performing Aura Storm.

In anime
Lucario debuted in the anime in the eighth Pokémon movie, Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. In the movie, Lucario is a servant to a nobleman named Sir Aaron in a Renaissance-themed city called Cameron Palace. Lucario thinks of Sir Aaron as his master and close friend; however, after Aaron traps him in a magic staff, Lucario begins questioning any Pokémon–human relationship. The Lucario in the movie, voiced in English by Sean Schemmel, can speak human languages through telepathy. Lucario ultimately sacrifices himself at the end of the film. Other Lucario later appear in the series. Series protagonist Ash Ketchum later obtains a Lucario after his Riolu evolves in Pokémon Journeys: The Series during a battle against Chairman Rose, a major antagonist in the series. It later gains the ability to Mega Evolve, and Ash uses it throughout the series.

Promotion and reception
Lucario has been featured in several forms of merchandise, including figurines, plush toys, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Copies of Pokémon White sold at Target stores, including a promotional code to acquire Lucario early in the game. Lucario has also been a part of the third wave of amiibo, with its figure released on January 22, 2015, in Japan, and as a Toys "R" Us-exclusive beginning in February 2015 in North America. Nanoblock kits and gallery figures have been also made. As part of a partnership with Nintendo, Japan Post Insurance has used Lucario as an ambassador to promote radio calisthenics to children. Lucario has been used in similar promotions across Japan in order to encourage fitness.

Since its introduction, Lucario has been well received and was placed second on The Pokémon Company's Pokémon of the Year poll in 2020, which featured all Pokémon throughout the franchise. In 2023, Centennial Media's The Ultimate Guide to Pokémon noted that after compiling monthly search histories of Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft Bing, Lucario was the fourth highest searched Pokémon among internet users, with an approximate total of 126,200 average searches per month. Patricia Hernandez, in an examination of the furry fandom, stated Lucario was the most popular Pokémon for the subset dedicated to the franchise's characters. Meanwhile, the Pokémon has also been cited as one of the most frequently utilized in erotic works by the fandom, with a June 2023 study of such content on Rule 34 websites, such as Rule 34.xxx and Sankaku Channel, noting a significantly higher volume of material compared to characters from most other franchises, and the highest of characters from the Pokémon franchise as a whole.

IGN's Dale Bashir, calling Lucario the "unofficial poster child" for Pokémon from Diamond and Pearl, stated it was one of the best designs in the franchise, describing its "striking" design and noting its similarity to characters from the Digimon franchise. In another article, Bashir described it as a Pokémon that impacted the franchise the most due to its appearance in the Smash Bros. franchise, which elevated it to "Legendary" status by fans of the species. Game Informer writer John Carson regarded it as "arguably one of the most popular Pokémon" in the series. Den of Geek's Alec Bojalad argued that due to the frequent usage of them by Nintendo they "sometimes felt like a de facto franchise mascot in its own right", noting that while they didn't have Pikachu's "family friendly cuteness", they already had "the clear blessing of Nintendo and most fans." Ryan Woodrow in an article for Sports Illustrated noted that while Nintendo heavily pushed the species, he acknowledged its "brilliant design", calling it a "nice blend of the humanoid body but animalistic features that stop it from feeling uncanny", and adding that the lore around the species' abilities gave them an "anime-protagonist" mystery element.

Robert Grosso of Tech Raptor called Lucario "the perfect representation of the transition of Pokémon designs", noting that while they were an example of how Game Freak had "run out of designs," he acknowledged at the same time that they not only emerged as a successful and popular mascot but also as one of the most recognizable for the series as a whole. He further cited various elements as responsible for their popularity, namely their anthropomorphized appearance, the impact of their debut film, color scheme, and mix of "Jackal and Egyptian Boxer" aesthetic created a "perfect storm" of a design. He further added that while he was fascinated by how easily the species could fit into the Digimon franchise, and felt they were overrated, "in the end, it is a near perfect design."

While sources such as Paste and Den of Geek voiced praise for Lucario particularly for its appearance in Smash Bros., Isaiah McCall of The Gamer heavily criticized it. Noting that while Nintendo's frequent use of the species had made it a "fan-favorite", he felt it was too similar to another Pokémon, Mewtwo, and deemed it to be an inferior copy of it. Pointing out several shared elements between them, down to the abilities and body language, he added, "Lucario’s stardom piggybacked off of the nostalgia people had for Mewtwo", and that Lucario's replacement of the latter in Smash Bros. left players wanting to "cling to" a character in the same vein. He closed by stating that despite his disdain Lucario wasn't "terrible, but terribly overrated." In an article for USgamer, Nadia Oxford acknowledged this sentiment, but argued its unique design and traits helped it stand apart from Mewtwo, leaving it "not lacking for fans".

Dario Capelli and Roberto Luigi Pagani in a paper for SCANDIA likened Lucario's portrayal in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew to medieval tales of a knight and its familiar, where the knight would complete his quest and die while the familiar mourned at his grave. They felt that the character's death fulfilled its own knightly narrative, likening it and his reunion with Sir Aaron to the story of Yvain, the Knight of the Lion.

K-line (artificial intelligence)

A K-line, or Knowledge-line, is a mental agent which represents an association of a group of other mental agents found active when a subject solves a certain problem or formulates a new idea. These were first described in Marvin Minsky's essay K-lines: A Theory of Memory, published in 1980 in the journal Cognitive Science:

When you "get an idea," or "solve a problem" ... you create what we shall call a K-line. ... When that K-line is later "activated", it reactivates ... mental agencies, creating a partial mental state "resembling the original." "Whenever you 'get a good idea', solve a problem, or have a memorable experience, you activate a K-line to 'represent' it. A K-line is a wirelike structure that attaches itself to whichever mental agents are active when you solve a problem or have a good idea.

When you activate that K-line later, the agents attached to it are aroused, putting you into a 'mental state' much like the one you were in when you solved that problem or got that idea. This should make it relatively easy for you to solve new, similar problems!" (1998, p. 82.)

Theoretical implications
The concept of K-lines has several theoretical implications for understanding memory and problem-solving in artificial intelligence and cognitive science:

 * It suggests that memory is not a static storage of information, but rather a dynamic association of mental agents activated during an experience.
 * K-lines provide a mechanism for generalizing from specific experiences to similar problems by reactivating the associated mental agents.
 * The theory implies that memory and problem-solving are distributed processes involving the coordination of multiple mental agents rather than a single central system.

Limitations and criticisms
While influential, the K-line theory has also faced some criticism and limitations:

Northwest Cable News

Northwest Cable News (NWCN) was an American cable news television channel owned by Tegna Media. The channel, which launched on December 18, 1995, provided 24-hour rolling news coverage focused primarily on the Pacific Northwest region of the United States (Washington, Oregon, Idaho and northwest Montana). The channel was headquartered out of the studio facilities of Tegna-owned NBC affiliate KING-TV (channel 5) in downtown Seattle. The channel was available to 2.9 million residents (through both cable television and over-the-air) within the region, and, to a lesser extent, Alaska, Northern California, and other areas of Montana.

Some of the network's programming was carried on a sister broadcast station KTVB in Boise, during the overnight hours. From August 28, 2009 to January 20, 2015, it was also aired over the air on their DT3 subchannel, as well as Cable One. It was previously on Cable One until 2003; it was re-added on February 12, 2010. On January 20, 2015, a corporate mandate where Gannett became a charter carrier of the Justice Network meant that it was replaced on KTVB-DT3, and it was carried on Dish Network from April 26, 2011 to February 29, 2016, when it was removed per a mutual decision between the two parties.

On October 28, 2016, Northwest Cable News announced that the channel would shut down on January 6, 2017. Approximately 20 employees were affected, and Tegna offered some of them positions at other Tegna stations. The final program to air on NWCN was a farewell show "Saying Goodbye to NWCN" (which showcase the network's history and many memories on the channel) at 6:00 p.m. PST. After the credits roll, NWCN officially sign off for the final time at around 6:59 p.m. following a final turn off of the lights in the network's master control operations, resulting in the channel fading to dark.

Programming
The network incorporated news content purposed from four Tegna-owned stations in the northwestern United States – NBC-affiliated stations KING-TV in Seattle, KGW in Portland, KTVB in Boise and CBS affiliate KREM in Spokane. In addition, the channel maintained content sharing agreements with several other stations.

In addition to rolling news and weather coverage throughout the day, Northwest Cable News produced the nightly sports highlight and discussion program Northwest Sports Tonight (weeknights at 9:00 p.m.) and the call-in shows Gardening with Ciscoe LIVE (which aired Friday evenings at 6:00 p.m.) and Northwest Sports Tonight Game Day (which aired evenings after Seattle Seahawks games during the NFL season). The channel also aired rebroadcasts of sister station KING-TV's lifestyle program Evening each evening at 10:00 p.m. Three other KING-TV programs, Gardening with Ciscoe (a pre-recorded program which the live NWCN program was spun off from), Northwest Backroads and The 5th Quarter (which aired during the NFL season), were also rebroadcast on the channel on weekends. In addition, the channel aired the KGW-produced Sunday evening discussion program Straight Talk. In February 2011, NWCN switched their format from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio. At the time of the channel's shutdown, NWCN was the last news station in the Tegna portfolio that did not air their newscasts in HD (although some of its content has been aired in HD digitally online).

Notable former staff

 * Shannon O'Donnell – meteorologist (1995–2001 and 2007–09); now weekend evening meteorologist for KOMO-TV
 * Elliott Wiser - News Director (1995-1997); now President and General Manager of WTSP-TV in Tampa, Florida
 * Richard Reid - Entertainment Reporter and Movie Critic (1999-2004)

Talk:Barabbas

Historical biographies
I came upon an interesting theory, perhaps it could be mentioned in passing in this article ( I just don't see where ). There are many contradictions between Matthew's and Luke's stories about birth and childhood of Jesus. According to Matthew, Jesus, grandson of Jacob, was born during the time of Herod ( i.e. before 4 BC ), received gifts from the Magi, his family fled to Egypt to escape the Massacre of the Innocents, and then a few years later moved to Nazareth. According to Luke, Jesus, grandson of Heli, was born during the Quirinius census ( 6 AD ), taken to Jerusalem and then returned home to Nazareth. There's no mention of the Magi, massacre or Egypt. The theory goes that these two passages refer to two different Jesuses, both sufficiently important to Jewish people at the time. Later these two got confused. One of them is Jesus Christ; the other - an insurrectioner who planned to overthrow the Roman government in Judea - is no other than Jesus Barabbas. Let me see if I can pull up some links. --8.4.80.163 01:40, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC) --66.99.3.143
 * Conflicting details in speculative biographies of historical figures are not usually harmonized by claims that there were multiple persons. --Wetman 00:49, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Unecessary Paragraph
I removed the following text because it contributes nothing new (Barrabas related) to the article.

"It appears inconsistent that the same crowd that demands the freedom of a violently anti-Roman insurrectionist is supposedly the same multitude that cries out, 'We have no king but Caesar!'"

Life of Brian
In the "Art, literature, and media" section, is it relevant enough to mention the "Welease Woger" scene from "Life of Brian"? It clearly relates to the Barabbas story, albeit one step removed in the form of parody. 115.64.107.183 (talk) 08:48, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Most definitely! Arminden (talk) 12:02, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Lack of impact
The article does not mention any cultural impact for this fictional character. It mostly consists of in-universe information. If he has not appeared in artwork or literature, he does not seem to be notable. Should this be merged to List of minor New Testament figures? Dimadick (talk) 16:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

 * I spent some time looking into this, considering three options:
 * 1. Merging into the List of minor New Testament figures
 * 2. Merging into Pilate's court
 * 3. Leaving it alone, comparing it to a similar article as the Penitent thief
 * Most (but not all) of the figures on the list of minor New Testament figures could pretty much be removed from the places they are written and not much would change. (There is at least once exception to this, Jacob, who after doing this I think should actually have his own article.) However Barabbas' name is prominent in the NT's most central events (the Passion), and there is no way to tell the Passion without including him and his background. He is, literally and figuratively, presented as the alternative to Jesus. So I disagree with merging him into the list of minor figures.
 * I also considered if it would be appropriate to merge this article into Pilate's court. Barabbas is mentioned in that article briefly. However that article is focused on the textual comparisons of the events of that story and sticking Barabbas in there would be out of place. The Pilate's court article would need to be completely redone to accomodate every other article related to those events before Barabbas could fit in there.
 * So I think for now Barabbas should remain with his own article. I would make the comparison with the Penitent Thief's article. About both of them there is a lot written and to write. You could ask why the Penitent thief isn't on the list of minor characters either. In the end I think the main organizing principle is that anyone involved in the Passion just isn't a minor figure. 79.45.21.49 (talk) 11:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Antisemitic idiocy hidden in unsourced edit
Somebody has hidden an unsourced and intrinsically illogical antisemitic "argument" behind 3 sources of which none supports it:
 * "but most scholars consider that the population of Judea at the time was mostly of Jewish origin."

This tries to stand in opposition to Ratzinger's article, in which the pope places guilt on two groups, the Temple aristocracy and rebellious supporters of Barabbas.

 * 1) It is UNSOURCED. Placing it behind 3 unrelated sources is proof of either conceit, or Wiki illiteracy.
 * 2) There is no confrontation of facts, no "but" here: Ratzinger doesn't claim the crowd at the trial or the priests weren't Jewish. The addition is either brought by someone who cannot grasp what makes a statement be a rational counter-argument, or who willingly misleads the superficial reader through logically unconnected, but suggestive statements. Unacceptable in both cases (either stupid, or deceitful).

I have removed this junk. Arminden (talk) 12:16, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

"Master and Margarita"
For some reason, the "Sources" section includes the book The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov, but this book isn't cited or referenced in the actual article. I looked at the Wikipedia articles for both the book and its author, but neither of them mention Barabbas. Should "The Master and Margarita" be removed from the "Sources" section, then? Lizardcreator (talk) 00:14, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Sounds like you make a good case for removing it to me. 79.45.21.49 (talk) 11:37, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Peer review/Genghis Khan/archive1

Genghis Khan
I think this article is quite comprehensive, and tries to clear many elusive understanding of Genghis Khan. It contains variety of cultural viewpoints and covers major ideas and understandings about the man. There are certain areas need to be improved like "Values of Genghis Khan" should be extensively sourced and the last 4 references should follow the cite resources aspect of Wikipedia. Besides that, we can review it and suggest any changes so this article can reach featured article of Wikipedia. Any suggestions are welcome. 168.253.11.221 01:22, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but this is not the way to use peer review. The article was already on FAC when it was posted here, and it should not be on both. Please remove it either from PR or from FAC. (If I don't hear from you within 24 hours, I'll assume your posting here was a mistake and remove it from here myself.) If peer review is where you want it to be listed (which I think would be the best), it's very welcome here, and please consider moving the useful comments you've already received on FAC to this page, so peer reviewers aren't left to pointlessly discover and write about the same things. Also, please sign your listing above (with four tildes). Best wishes, Bishonen | Talk 00:29, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok I removed this article from the FAC. I can't really exactly remember what a user suggested on the FAC. But he/she pointed out the following suggestions: 1) Fix the last 4 references to fit the Wikipedia citing resources guidelines. 2) Fix the weird structure of sections, and make it easy to follow 3) He/she would like to see this copy-edited. The first 2 are basically done from my standpoint and we really need copy-edit on this article. Thanks. 168.253.11.221 01:22, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * You can't? Right, well, to show the specific objections made to the present structure, I paste in the FAC comments of Phils below. I actually don't agree with you that the merging of "Legacy" and "Perceptions" that Phils recommends has been taken care of. While the sections have been moved into a joint section "Genghis Kahn today", which is a good idea as far as it goes, they're still separate, which doesn't work. They need a rewrite/merge into one single internally coherent text (it would by no means be enough to remove their separate headings). I can't see that the references have been formatted any, they look exactly the same as before, and the third web-based reference is absolutely terrible (it leads to a Google search!). Please see Cite sources. Bishonen | Talk 09:27, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Object.: Good article, but: 1) The four web-based references should be formatted according to the formatting guidelines found here: Cite sources. 2) The article is pretty long and exhibits a strange structure: it begins with an account of his early life, followed by Values of Genghis Kahn, a moral portrait that should be more extensively sourced because it contains a lot of strong statements about his personal beliefs. Next is a section called Mongols before Genghis Kahn, a section I think could be disposed of. There is already a separate article, and the information in it is only remotely related to Genghis Kahn himself. Uniting the tribes and the two next sections continue Gengis Kahn's biography started 2 sections before, this time concentrating on military achievements. The structure then completely spins out of control with Political achievements, a rather shallow section with some overlap with the self-confessed stub subsection Politics in the Organization section. Perceptions of Genghis Kahn and Legacy should be merged somehow and moved to the end, as the perceptions covers modern-day perceptions more than contemporary ones. 3) I would like to see this article copy-edited. The tone and language is acceptable, but it could easily be made more fitting for an encyclopedia article if someone was willing to spend some time on it. Phils 18:43, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Churubusco

Churubusco is a neighbourhood of Mexico City. Under the current territorial division of the Mexican Federal District, it is a part of the borough (delegación) of Coyoacán. It is centred on the former Franciscan monastery (ex convento de Churubusco) at 19.35556°N, -99.14861°W.

The name "Churubusco" is the interpretation the Spanish invaders gave to the original Nahuatl name Huitzilopochco – meaning "place (or temple) of Huitzilopochtli". Earlier attested forms that the adapted name took include Huycholopuzco, Ocholopusco, Ochoroposco, Uchilubusco, and Chulibusco.

11th century
The first settlers are believed to have arrived in the area, possibly fleeing the fall of the Toltec Empire.

15th century
Huitzilopochco existed as an independent lordship within Mexico-Tenochtitlan. Its first ruler was Huitzilatzin, a grandson of Huitzilihuitl, the second Tlatoani ("emperor"). Its population numbered some 15,000 dedicated to the cultivation of fruit and flowers and the extraction of salt from the neighboring Lake Texcoco.

A temple (teocalli) dedicated to the worship of Huitzilopochtli stood at a location known as Teopanzolco. Within the Aztec Empire, this teocalli ranked second only to the one at the Templo Mayor in Mexico-Tenochtitlan (some 10 km to the north). Huitzilopochco was famous for the hummingbird feathers (sacred to Huitzilopochtli) that it sent in tribute to the capital.

16th century
In 1503, Ahuitzotl, the eighth Tlatoani, connected a nearby spring to the Mexico-Tenochtitlan water supply. This is believed to have been the direct cause of the great flood of that year that devastated the city and claimed hundreds of lives – including that of Ahuitzotl.

During Hernán Cortés's siege of Mexico-Tenochtitlan in 1521, Huitzilopochco was razed to the ground. Some years later, Franciscan friars founded a small convent in the Teopanzolco district, using stones from the destroyed teocalli of Huitzilopochtli. The convent was dedicated to Mary, Queen of Angels. The Franciscans appear to have abandoned it shortly after; the church was transferred to the care of the regular clergy and, in 1580, responsibility for the convent was handed to a second group of Franciscan friars (discalced dieguinos). They rebuilt the monastery and added a novitiate and a school.

17th century
In the second half of this century, thanks to the generosity of one Diego del Castillo and his wife, the monastery was completely rebuilt and much expanded. Rededicated in 1678, it now consisted of an oratory, dormitories, schoolrooms, a library, a refectory, upper and lower cloisters, a dispensary and an apothecary, and an Andalusian-style courtyard built around a well.

18th century
A series of enhancements were made to the monastery and its church, including a churrigueresque altar dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1766 and the installation of an organ in 1791. In 1797 an independent chapel, dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, was erected.

19th century
Battle of Churubusco. On 20 August 1847, during the U.S. invasion of Mexico, a bloody and decisive battle was fought in Churubusco – specifically, in the vicinity of the monastery.

In 1857, President Ignacio Comonfort had a monument commemorating the heroic defence of the monastery built in front of its main gates. The remains of Francisco Peñúñuri and Luis Martínez de Castro, two army officers who led their men to perish in a desperate bayonet charge after running out of ammunition during the battle, were interred inside.

In 1869, during the Reform period under President Benito Juárez, the monastery was taken over by the state. It was converted into a military hospital specialising in contagious diseases.

20th century
In 1917, the National University's Inspectorate of Artistic and Historic Monuments managed to convince the authorities that the former monastery would fare better as a museum: as a hospital, it had been more than a little neglected and was in danger of collapse. The museum was opened to the public in 1921.

With the rapid expansion of Mexico City during the mid-20th century, Churubusco ceased to be a separate village and was swallowed up by the urban sprawl of the capital. The motion picture production facility of Estudios Churubusco – the nerve centre of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema – opened in the district in 1945.

Present day
The former monastery of Churubusco now houses the state-run "Interventions Museum" (Museo de las Intervenciones), documenting the different assaults on its territorial integrity that Mexico has suffered since declaring its independence in 1810: 1829 (Spain), 1838 (France), 1846 (United States), 1862 (France), and 1916 (United States). It stands in a residential neighbourhood just outside the southernmost loop of the inner ring-road, in the middle of a pleasant, wooded plaza.

Metro General Anaya (named for Pedro María Anaya) is located in the vicinity. Other nearby street names commemorating the area's history include "Calle Héroes del 47", "Calle 20 de Agosto", and "Calle Mártires Irlandeses".

Animal Logic

Animal Logic (also known as Animal Logic VFX) is an Australian animation and visual effects digital studio based at Disney Studios in Sydney, New South Wales in Australia, Vancouver in Canada, and Rideback Ranch in Los Angeles, California. Established in 1991, Animal Logic has produced visual effects and animation for feature films such as the Academy Award-winning Happy Feet, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, Walking with Dinosaurs 3D, The Lego Movie and Peter Rabbit. The company was also recognised for its work as lead visual effects vendor on Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, which won Outstanding Achievement in Visual Effects at the 3rd AACTA Awards ceremony. In 2018, Peter Rabbit was presented with a range of accolades, including the AACTA Award for Best Visual Effects or Animation, and Australian Production Design Guild Awards (APDG) in Visual Effects Design and Drawing, Concept Illustration & Concept Models for Screen. Most recently, the company has produced work for the Warner Animation Group's The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part and Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel. It is a subsidiary of Netflix.

Initially, Animal Logic's core business was the design and production of high-end visual effects for commercials and television programs, and early success within these fields provided a platform for expansion into feature film work. Animal Logic went on to produce visual effects for many large budget feature film projects, including Babe, Babe: Pig in the City, The Matrix, Moulin Rouge!, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Planet of the Apes, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, World Trade Center, Fool's Gold, 300, Knowing, Australia, Sucker Punch, The Great Gatsby, and many more.

History

In 1991, Zareh Nalbandian and Chris Godfrey formed and founded a digital studio in Crows Nest, Sydney, Australia. The company was born out of Video Paint Brush Company, which Nalbandian, who had worked there for a few years, and his colleague Godfrey acquired in a management buy-out and renamed Animal Logic.

Animal Logic moved to Fox Studios Australia in Moore Park, Sydney, in 1998. In 2003, Animal Logic began work on its first computer-animated feature film, Happy Feet, for director George Miller. Released in the United States on 17 November 2006, the project saw the company expand significantly, recruiting up to 300 artists and technicians from Australia and around the world. Happy Feet, which was the first computer animated feature film produced in Australia, went on to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature as well as the inaugural BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film.

Their full-length feature animation, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, was released on 24 September 2010 and was Australia's first animated feature to be released in 3D stereoscopic. From 2004 to 2007, the company produced bumpers for Cartoon Network. In 2011, the company produced and animated LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace, a 30-minute TV special. Produced for Lucasfilm and Cartoon Network, the special premiered in the United States on Cartoon Network and was followed by a worldwide DVD and Blu-ray release. In 2012, Animal Logic acquired the assets of fellow Australian visual effects studio Fuel VFX, known for their work on feature films such as Iron Man 3, Prometheus, The Avengers, Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Cowboys & Aliens, Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor. Fuel VFX was nominated for a Visual Effects Society Award and a BAFTA Award for Best Special Visual Effects for their work on Prometheus. 2012 also saw the release of the Animal Logic-animated "Polar Bowl" campaign, consisting of a 60-second and two 30-second commercials that aired at halftime at the Super Bowl XLVI. The campaign aimed to re-launch the iconic Coca-Cola polar bear characters to a new generation. Following the success of the 3 spots, which were viewed by over 160 million people globally, the company went on to animate a 6-minute short film directed by John Stevenson to headline Coca-Cola's 2013 global campaign. The film was first released through YouTube in December 2012, followed by a worldwide international cinema release. In 2013, the company led animation and visual effects work on BBC Earth and Evergreen Films' 3D live action feature Walking with Dinosaurs 3D,

In 2014, Animal Logic provided animation services for the 2014 film The Lego Movie, which was produced by the Warner Animation Group and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. After the film's huge success, the company was split into three subsidiaries operating under the Animal Logic's group: Animal Logic Animation, Animal Logic VFX, and Animal Logic Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based arm tasked with developing animated, VFX and hybrid feature films for the company. The following year, the company opened a 45000 sqft facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The new studio initially produced work for The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, the first in a three-film deal with Warner Bros., all of which were to be developed in Canada.

In July 2022, Netflix announced plans to acquire Animal Logic in an all-cash deal.

In January 2024, it was announced that the studio would merge with Netflix Animation, with CEO Sharon Taylor resigning and Netflix Animation's Karen Toliver taking her place to lead the studio. This would not affect Animal Logic's upcoming slate or its branding and output as a subsidiary of Netflix. Taylor would later return to Netflix Animation as head of production in June 2024.

Cedar Park, Philadelphia

Cedar Park is a neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Located in the larger West Philadelphia district, it stretches north to Larchwood Ave., south to Kingsessing Ave., east to 46th Street, and west to 52nd Street.

Originally outlying farmland, Cedar Park was built between 1850 and 1910 as a streetcar suburb of Center City. Its development as a suburb accelerated with the installation of horsecars in the 1850s and again with the arrival of electric trolley lines in 1892.

The neighborhood is racially and ethnically diverse, and much of the historic Queen Anne-style architecture still stands.

Since circa 2000, the neighborhood has been undergoing gentrification, stimulated by the University of Pennsylvania's redevelopment plan for West Philadelphia. There is a distinct progressive-politics mien to the neighborhood and a sizable African immigrant community located along and near Baltimore Avenue between 46th and 49th Streets. Cedar Park's residents are predominantly Jamaican/Caribbean and African immigrants, but many are African American (American-born blacks) or white.

River Laune

The River Laune (Irish: An Leamhain) is a river in County Kerry, Ireland, which flows from Lough Leane (sometimes written as Lough Lein), one of the Lakes of Killarney, through Beaufort, past Ballymalis Castle, through the town of Killorglin, and empties into the sea, first at Castlemaine harbour beside the river Maine and then out through Dingle Bay. The Laune is well known for salmon and trout fishing.

The river Laune is 14 mi long and combined with the River Flesk 28.25 mi, which feeds Lough Leane, has a total length of 42.25 mi. It has a mean flow rate of 43 m³/s.

The River Laune flows approximately 20 km to drain Killarney’s Lough Leane into the sea at Castlemaine Harbour. The Laune carries most of the rainfall from the MacGillycuddy Reeks, Ireland’s highest mountain range. Many streams on the south side of the Reeks drain into Killarney’s Upper Lake before filtering down to Lough Leane. As the River Laune drains Lough Leane to the sea, it is fed by two rivers running north from the Reeks, the River Loe from the Gap of Dunloe and the Gaddagh River from the heart of the Reeks. Another tributary, the Cottoners River, carries rainwater from the west of the Reeks. On the southern side of the bridge, a low embankment runs upstream for about 1 km towards Killarney. This is part of over 40 km of embankments that prevent the sea from flooding low-lying land around Castlemaine Harbour. These embankments exist due to Napoleon’s dominance in Europe around the year 1808. The British government were looking for alternative sources of hemp to make sailcloth for their navy to defend against a possible invasion.

If the bogs of Ireland could be drained then they could be used to grow this raw material without affecting the existing agricultural output of the country. In 1811–1812 Alexander Nimmo surveyed and mapped over 76,000 acres (30,700 ha) of land on the Iveragh Peninsula for the Bogs Commission. Over 17,000 acres (7,000 ha) of this were on the sea shore area of the Laune River, Lower Maine River, and Castlemaine Harbour. These stone and earthen banks still prevent high tides flooding much of this land. The banks vary from 1 m to over 5 m in height. Sluice gates allow water drain out at low tide and prevent rising tides from flooding the land. The banks run from the townland of Tullig near Cromane, to Killorglin, part way up the Laune, around the area of Callinafercy, up both sides of the Maine River and along the north side of Castlemaine Harbour, part way to Inch. Various major repairs are evident where large rocks and concrete have replaced the stone and earth, although much of the original banks are still intact.

The Killorglin river bank walk and the Astellas river bank walk downstream of the Metal Bridge are both part of these 200-year-old embankment

Killorglin County Bridge
Killorglin’s County Bridge was built in 1885. It replaced an older wooden bridge that apparently got covered during high Spring tides. The current bridge is built from local limestone, moved by horse and cart from Steelroe Quarries approximately 1 km away on the Tralee Road. Stonecutters shaped each stone by hand to make up the piers, the eight stone arches and the side walls of the bridge. Each arch is 15.24 m long making a total length of 123 m.

Art on the Laune
In 2001 the Killorglin Millennium Committee built "Faiche Ri Na Phoic" (The lawn of King of Puck) and erected the Puck Statue at the eastern end of the bridge. The goat symbolises the tradition of Puck Fair held in the town on 10, 11, and 12 August every year since the early 17th century. The Puck Poets Corner was added in 2010. This displays verses about Killorglin from various contributors dating back as far as the year 1876. Featuring poets such as Edso Crowley, Sigerson Clifford, Johnny Patterson and Peter Joy.

Halloween, Alaska

Halloween, Alaska is a Minnesota-based band consisting of James Diers (voice, guitar, keys), Jake Hanson (brother of Tapes 'n Tapes drummer Jeremy Hanson, guitar), Bill Shaw (electric bass guitar), and Dave King (acoustic and electronic drums). All of the group's members live in the Twin Cities. Original keyboardist and programmer Ev left the band in 2008. Original bassist Matt Friesen left the band in 2009. The group first formed in 2002, and work on a self-titled debut soon began to be recorded. Completed in 2003, the disc earned considerable acclaim not only in the Twin Cities but also from indie tastemakers and college radio programmers across the US, combining ambient electronic elements with moody alt-pop songwriting. Two tracks from the disc were featured in the Fox television series The O.C.: "Des Moines" in season one, and "All the Arms Around You" in season two. The track "State Trooper", featured on their self-titled debut, is a cover version of the song by Bruce Springsteen. East Side Digital reissued the album in 2005, adding remixes and bonus tracks. A second disc titled Too Tall to Hide was released in 2005 and features another cover song - "I Can't Live Without My Radio" by LL Cool J. Champagne Downtown was released on April 7, 2009. (iTunes initially listed the album under the band "Alaska & Halloween." Amazon currently lists all Halloween, Alaska albums under "Alaska Halloween.") An EP of remixes by Twin Cities artists was released in November 2009. Their most recent album, Le Centre, was released in 2018.

Members of the group are or have been part of the bands The Bad Plus, Love-Cars, Happy Apple, 12 Rods, Cowboy Curtis, Minneapolis Dub Ensemble, Post Mortem Grinner, and The Gang Font feat. Interloper.

The band is not named after a real town in Alaska. According to Diers, King "came up with the name ... before we even starting playing together, actually," and felt that the combination of the two words was "evocative of some of the moods and textures he wanted us to be looking at."

Eh, only if someone passionate enough about the movie comes along and wants to add a lot of detail about it. Because these sexual double standard morality plays probably don't have enough people reading them that they're likely to get much editing.

David Lindley (musician)

David Perry Lindley (March 21, 1944 – March 3, 2023) was an American musician who founded the rock band El Rayo-X and worked with many other performers including Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Warren Zevon, Curtis Mayfield and Dolly Parton. He mastered such a wide variety of instruments that Acoustic Guitar magazine referred to him not as a multi-instrumentalist but instead as a "maxi-instrumentalist." On stage, Lindley was known for wearing garishly colored polyester shirts with clashing pants, gaining the nickname the Prince of Polyester.

The majority of the instruments that Lindley played are string instruments, including violin, acoustic and electric guitar, upright and electric bass, banjo, mandolin, dobro, hardingfele, bouzouki, cittern, bağlama, gumbus, charango, cümbüş, oud and zither. He was the unparalleled master of the lap steel guitar in the rock music sphere, and an expert in Hawaiian-style slide guitar blues.

Lindley was a founding member of the 1960s psychedelic band Kaleidoscope and worked as musical director for several touring artists. He occasionally scored and composed music for film.

Early life and career
David Perry Lindley was born in San Marino, California, to Margaret (Wells) and John Royal Young Lindley (brother of actress Loretta Young) on March 21, 1944. When Lindley was growing up in Los Angeles, his father had an extensive collection of 78 rpm records that included Korean folk and Indian sitar music, as well as Spanish classical guitarists Andrés Segovia and Carlos Montoya. Lindley took up the violin at age three, and kept at it despite breaking the fragile bridge. He then moved on to the baritone ukulele in his early teens. Next he learned the banjo. By his late teens, he had won the Topanga Banjo•Fiddle Contest five times. He played banjo with the Dry City Scat Band which included multi-instrumentalist Chris Darrow, and Richard Greene on fiddle. Lindley and his bandmates aspired to emulate multi-talented folk singer Mike Seeger.

Lindley began to frequent the Los Angeles–area folk music scene of the 1960s, primarily going to the Ash Grove club, but also attending the Troubador in West Hollywood, encountering an eclectic assortment of music including flamenco, Russian folk music, and Indian sitar music. At Ash Grove, Lindley shared ideas with local musicians such as Ry Cooder and Chris Hillman. Lindley formed an especially close relationship with Cooder; the two shared a love of "exotic music", and they both turned away from corporate mainstream music to focus on less popular idioms such as folk and world music. At Ash Grove, Lindley learned from traveling blues and folk musicians the "right" way to play certain styles, and he learned violin methods from local star Don "Sugarcane" Harris.

From 1966 to 1970, Lindley was a founding member of the psychedelic band Kaleidoscope which released four albums on Epic Records during that period. After Kaleidoscope broke up, Lindley went to England and played in Terry Reid's band for a couple of years. In 1972, he teamed with Jackson Browne, playing in his band through 1980 and occasionally afterward. During the 1970s he also toured as a member of the bands of Crosby-Nash, Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor.

In 1981, Lindley formed his own band, El Rayo-X. Jackson Browne produced their first album. The band's final show was December 31, 1989. After that, Lindley toured as a solo artist, first with Hani Naser accompanying on hand drums, then with reggae percussionist Wally Ingram. He also played on a multitude of studio sessions. Between his work in the studio as a session musician or on tour as a sideman or bandleader, Lindley learned new instruments. He was famous for having written the only song glorifying a brand of condoms, "Ram-a-Lamb-a-Man," from his album Win This Record! The media often commented on his colorful polyester clothing, with jarring contrasts between pants and shirt, earning him the nickname Prince of Polyester.

Work with other artists

Lindley was known for his work as a session musician. He contributed to years of recordings and live performances by Jackson Browne, and also supported Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, Curtis Mayfield, James Taylor, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Terry Reid, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Toto, Rod Stewart, Joe Walsh and Dan Fogelberg. He collaborated with fellow guitarists Ry Cooder, Henry Kaiser and G. E. Smith. Artist Ben Harper credited Lindley's distinctive slide guitar style as a major influence on his own playing, and, in 2006, Lindley sat in on Harper's album Both Sides of the Gun. He was known in the guitar community for his use of "cheap" instruments sold at Sears department stores and intended for amateurs. He used these for the unique sounds they produce, especially with a slide. In the early 1990s, he toured and recorded with Hani Naser adding percussive instruments to his solo performances, and his instrumental repertoire which he used in his session work. Lindley also toured extensively and recorded with reggae percussionist Wally Ingram.

Lindley's voice may be heard in the version of "Stay" performed by Jackson Browne. Browne's version is a continuation of "The Load Out", and its refrain is sung in progressively higher vocal ranges. The refrain of "Oh won't you stay, just a little bit longer" is sung first by Browne, then by Rosemary Butler, then by Lindley in falsetto.

Lindley joined Jackson Browne for a tour of Spain in 2006. Love Is Strange: En Vivo Con Tino, a 2-CD set of recordings from that tour, was released 2010, with Browne and Lindley touring together starting in June of that year. They played together at Glastonbury Festival in 2010, and they won an Independent Music Award for Best Live Performance Album in 2011.

Instruments
Lindley had a large collection of rare and unusual guitars and other instruments from the Middle East and various parts of the world. He listed and categorized many of them on his website but admitted that he had "absolutely no idea" how many instruments he owned and played, having gathered them since the 1960s. A journalist described his home in 1994 as containing a "tidal flood of instruments strewn all over the house. In every room. On the floor, balanced against the wall, lying atop cabinets and just literally occupying virtually every inch of available floor space."

Personal life
Lindley married Joan Darrow, the sister of his musical colleague Chris Darrow from the band Kaleidoscope. In 1970, Joan and David Lindley had a daughter named Rosanne who became a folk singer with the Bright Mountain Choir in the 1990s, collaborating with the Mountain Goats. In 1995, Rosanne joined Lindley in a series of concerts with Ry and his son Joachim Cooder, billed as the Cooder–Lindley Family. The Lindleys lived in a quiet neighborhood of Claremont, California.

Lindley died after a long illness on March 3, 2023, at the age of 78. He had COVID-19 in 2020, which his family said developed into Long COVID, with chronic kidney damage.

Lunna

Lunna (born June 30, 1960; born María Socorro García de la Noceda ) is a Puerto Rican singer of popular music and jazz who was the director of the television show Objetivo Fama, the Latin version of American Idol.

Early years
Lunna was born and raised by both her parents in Ponce, Puerto Rico. While in elementary school, she learned how to play the guitar and in 1972, her mother had her take private singing lessons. In the 1960s, while still in high school, she began to sing under the name "Soqui", which was short for her middle name Socorro.

In 1978, Lunna auditioned and was accepted in a group called Allegro 72, a locally popular group which included singer Tito Lara and Luis Antonio Cosme. Besides singing for Allegro 72, she also landed jobs singing radio and television commercials. Lunna eventually left the group to start singing solo. Her agent recommended that she change her artistic name, resulting in the "Lunna" name.

She met and became romantically involved with Puerto Rican rock and roll teen idol, Charlie Robles. This romance was highly publicized in Puerto Rico and soon they were married. Sockey and Charlie had a daughter, Lisa Marie, from this marriage; however, things didn't go well in the marriage and the couple ended up in divorce.

Singing career
In 1982, Lunna traveled to Lima, Peru, to represent Puerto Rico at the OTI Festival, with the song "Sin tu música" (Without your music). Her fame soared in Puerto Rico, but her career was interrupted because of personal reasons. After four years of absence from the world of music, Glenn Monroig, a fellow singer, convinced her to return. Together they recorded the album A Todo Dar (Everything Gives), the first digitally produced album in Puerto Rico. The album was renamed Motivos (Motives) and was produced by Ángel "Cucco" Peña, it became a big "hit" in Puerto Rico. Among the songs included in the album was the song "Yo Perdí" (I Lost). "Yo Perdí" was converted into a musical video, filmed in 35 mm.

In 1987, Lunna was signed by A&M Records and recorded the following successful songs, "No Digas Nada" (Don't Say Anything), "Ni Princesa, Ni Esclava" (Nor Princess, Nor Slave) and "Fugitivo Amante" (Fugitive Lover). That same year, she was nominated for a Grammy Award. In 1988 and 1989, Lunna continued to score more "hits" with the recording of "Soledad" (Loneliness), "Quien No Ha Sentido..." (Who Hasn't Felt...) and with "Cómo Ser Amantes" (How to be Lovers) written by Michael Bolton.

In 1992, Lunna reunited with Glen Monroig and they recorded the album Yo Que Te Adoré (I, Who Have Adored You). In 2003, Lunna recorded Lunna de Bohemia, which included many classical boleros. That same year, she suffered a personal tragedy when her son died. Lunna, who is also a jazz lover, participated in the "Heineken Jazz Jam Session" and in the "Tropical Night at the Seaport".

Personal life
In 1983, Lunna married Ángel "Cucco" Peña, with whom she had three children, Gabriel, Juan and Ángel (they later divorced). Her son, Juan Sebastián Peña, died in a traffic accident. Lunna almost died while giving birth to her youngest child Ángel Agustín Peña. The child had his cord umbilical wrapped around his neck.

Airedale images
Hi, thanks for your contributions to dog pages.

On the Airedale page, I replaced the original full-dog photo in the breed table; it shows the complete dog much better than just a head shot. I moved the head shot Image:RoyceHead.JPG further down in the article, but it needs to have information added to its image page about the source of the photo and under what license it's being released to the public, such as or  ; otherwise, we'll sadly have to remove it from Wikipedia. Elf | Talk 06:10, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I would love to do this but have no idea how to do it. These two pictures are of my own dogs and taken by myself and are therefore free to be used by anyone for any purpose. So, could you please edit the page with the appropriate tab or tell me how to do it?

Thank you

JANE

 * Sure! One easy way to do it is to click on the photo in the Airedale article. That takes you to its image page. Click Edit This Page and then you can edit it just like any other. Then just type what you said above and in this case add the text  which means that you're placing them into the public domain.  Then save the page as always. Ta-da!  Thanks. They are nice photos, BTW. Elf | Talk 21:40, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

We have a series of dog related videos/DVD's that would especially interest readers of the dog pages, especially 'HOW TO GROOM AN AIREDALE' for Airedale enthusiasts. Is it appropriate or possible to put a link to our site www.rangeairevision.com on this or any of the dog pages? Jane@rangeairevision.com 23:42, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia generally doesn't include links to commercial sites. The only exception that I'm aware of is that,if you include the ISBN of a book, it creates a link to Amazon so that you can see details about the book. I'm not sure whether that's an inconsistent policy strategy... but that's the way it is. Otherwise everyone with anything to sell related to any dogs would start putting links to their sites in the articles & then it sort of becomes a commercial site with a lot of unmaintainable links.  Your site looks nice, though. The only way around this was if there were a noncommercial airedale-related site that has links to lots of airedale-related pages (noncommerical primarily) that also had a link to your site, you could include that noncommercial site's URL in the article.  Hope thisi makes sense.  Elf | Talk 00:35, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Official welcome
And since I didn't do this last time around...

Airedale Terrier article organization
While you're adding info to the page, do you want to also take a stab at adding appropriate headers? You certainly don't have to, but since it looks like you're enjoying working on this article, I thought you might want to do this, too. A typical organization for a dog-breed article would have headers like these:
 * ==History==
 * ==Appearance== (often includes size, coat, build, tail, like that)
 * ==Health== (often includes common ailments, longevity, stuff like that)
 * ==Characteristics== (or ==Attributes== ) (often includes decription of temperament, what they're good at, etc.)

For examples, see Alaskan Malamute or American Cocker Spaniel or even Australian Cattle Dog (for a slightly different set of headings). Thanks! Elf | Talk 23:33, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

change user name, please
I wish to change my en.wiki user name from Jane@rangeairevision.com to Jane instead of my entire E-mail address. If this is not possible, please use JaneHarvey []

 * There's a procedure to get this done; read and follow the Procedure section here: Changing_username. BTW, I'm sort of watching your user page here because I know that you're new and are working on dog pages, but in general you're more likely to get a quicker response by posting a note on another user's Talk page. :-)  Elf | Talk 04:47, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Commercial sites/book ISBNs
I misspoke above about what happens with a books' ISBN--it does not take you to Amazon; it takes you to a Wikipedia page with automatic links to many, many sites both noncommercial and commercial through which you can access the specified book. For example, see the References section of the article hip dysplasia. Just wanted to clear up my misrepresentation of the situation. Elf | Talk 06:57, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

River Deel

The River Deel (An Daoil) is in County Cork and County Limerick, Ireland.

The river rises near Dromina in north County Cork and flows north into County Limerick for over 60 km to enter the Shannon Estuary.

After it rises it passes the flowing areas, first Milford and down towards Belville bridge, then on to Castlemahon (Mahoonagh) and nearby Newcastle West, running parallel to the main Limerick-Killarney N21 road, to reach Rathkeale.

After leaving Rathkeale, the river crosses the N21 and flows north to Askeaton. It then crosses the N69 before entering the Shannon Estuary a further 4km north.

Name
The Deel derives its name from daol, an Irish word for a beetle, insect or worm, because of its winding, bending shape.

Fishing
The Deel was once a good salmon and grilse fishery but now is mainly fished for brown trout.
