 * Delete. Keep working on that screenplay, Jake. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:39, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, under the bar of notability for me, possible vanity. Megan1967 06:06, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain. As the subject of this article, it would be inappropriate for me to vote on this VFD, but I'd encourage people to take a look at the | previous VFD. Note that, following the previous VFD discussion, my original self-created page was deleted (as I had proposed.) The page in its current form was created by a Wikipedia user I have never met using publically available information. For what it's worth, my own assessment is that I do meet two of  |the criteria for inclusion but needless to say I have an obvious bias.--Jacobw 13:58, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. How many episodes of Dennis Miller Live did he write?  Was he a significant contributor?  The show itself is notable, with an eight-year run and several Emmys (I haven't watched it, though).  Is he a Joss Whedon, or anything close?  Not sure if aspiring to write a screenplay is encyclopedic—my understanding is that we shy away from such forward-looking statements.  --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 15:45, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * The subject of the article clarified his involvement in the show; I've added that information to the article. (Details are on my talk page, he was a staff writer for three or so years). --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 18:24, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * If aspiring to write a screenplay is encyclopedic then we'd have to list half the West Los Angeles phonebook in here.

 * Keep Associated with two famous productions. Johntex 21:42, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete lots of people are associated with a famous production, because famous productions are big. But he didn't do any serious writing or creativity yet. Radiant! 08:53, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless it can be established that he was a major contributor to both projects. I think Radiant has it right. Writers, though perhaps the most important element of such things, are still behind the scenes figures who don't have the visibility, and hence fame and notability, as those who appear in front of the cameras. -R. fiend 09:39, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Conexant

Conexant Systems, Inc. was an American-based software developer and fabless semiconductor company that developed technology for voice and audio processing, imaging and modems. The company began as a division of Rockwell International, before being spun off as a public company. Conexant itself then spun off several business units, creating independent public companies which included Skyworks Solutions and Mindspeed Technologies.

The company was acquired by computing interface technology company Synaptics, Inc. in July 2017.

History
In 1996, Rockwell International Corporation incorporated its semiconductor division as Rockwell Semiconductor Systems, Inc. On January 4, 1999, Rockwell spun off Conexant Systems, Inc. as a public company. It was listed on the NASDAQ under symbol CNXT on January 4, 1999. At that time, Conexant became the world's largest, standalone communications-IC company. Dwight W. Decker was its first chief executive officer and chairman of its board of directors. The company was based in Newport Beach, California.

In the early 2000s, Conexant spun off several standalone technology businesses to create public companies. In March 2002, Conexant entered into a joint venture agreement with The Carlyle Group to share ownership of its wafer fabrication plant, called Jazz Semiconductor.

In June 2002, Conexant spun off its wireless communications division, which merged immediately following the spinoff with Massachusetts-based chip manufacturer Alpha Industries Inc. to form publicly held Skyworks Solutions Inc. In June 2003, Conexant spun off its Internet infrastructure business to create the publicly held company Mindspeed Technologies Inc. Mindspeed would eventually be acquired by M/A-COM Technology Solutions, based in Lowell, Massachusetts.

In 2004, Conexant merged with Red Bank, New Jersey, semiconductor company GlobespanVirata, Inc., with Conexant as the surviving corporation. Subsequently, GlobespanVirata’s name was changed to Conexant, Inc.

In April 2008, Conexant announced the sale of its broadband media processing business, which provided products for satellite, cable and IPTV applications, to Dutch semiconductor manufacturer NXP Semiconductors NV.

In September 2008, Jazz was sold to Israel-based Tower Semiconductor Ltd and became known as TowerJazz.

In August 2009, Conexant sold its broadband access product line to Fremont, California, semiconductor company Ikanos Communications.

In February 2011, an agreement was announced for San Francisco investment firm Golden Gate Capital to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Conexant at a price of $2.40 per share, and take the company private.

In February 2013, citing the burden of servicing debt related to multiple corporate acquisitions in the late 1990s, as well as the loss of revenue from the bankruptcy of key customer Eastman Kodak, Conexant filed for Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As part of the bankruptcy agreement, the company agreed on a restructuring plan with owners and its sole secured lender, QP SFM Capital Holdings Ltd. The reorganized company emerged from bankruptcy in July 2013. As part of the operational restructuring, the company moved its headquarters from Newport Beach to nearby Irvine, and focused on a narrower product portfolio, consisting of far-field voice input processing-based devices, video surveillance and printer systems on a chip (SoCs).

Since 2013, Conexant's silicon and software solutions for voice processing have been instrumental in the CE industry's proliferation of voice-enabled devices. The company's AudioSmart brand of voice input processors and embedded far-field processing software has become adopted by CE device manufacturers in numerous products ranging from Artificially Intelligent digital assistant devices and smart speakers to voice-enabled televisions and personal robots. In February 2016, it was announced that Korean electronics company LG Electronics was going to integrate Conexant's CX2092x far-field voice input processor system-on-chip (SoC) into two of its smart home products: a set-top box and an IoT hub for controlling home electronic devices.

In March 2016, Conexant announced that their AudioSmart software was being integrated into Qualcomm's Hexagon digital signal processor family, a major component of Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor reportedly contained in over 1 billion smart devices.

In December 2016, Conexant and Amazon co-announced the AudioSmart 2-Mic Development Kit for Amazon AVS, a commercial-grade reference solution that streamlines the design and implementation of audio front end systems. Based on the Conexant AudioSmart™ CX20921 Voice Input Processor, the dual microphone board was designed to reduce time-to-market for new third-party voice-enabled Alexa devices.

On May 11, 2017, news appeared that security researchers discovered that Conexant's audio drivers were installing keylogger software, including many laptops sold by HP. The keylogger writes every single keystroke typed by a user (including passwords) and stores them in an unencrypted file on the user's computer.

On July 26, 2017, Synaptics completed its acquisition of Conexant Systems, LLC.

By November 2017, Conexant.com was no longer available.

Product line
Conexant had two main product families: the AudioSmart brand of audio processors and the ImagingSmart brand of image processors and modems.

AudioSmart
AudioSmart was a line of analog-to-digital converters (AD Converter), codecs, USB digital signal processor (DSP) codecs, voice/speech processors, and software that improved how audio signals are processed for electronic audio equipment.

 * AD Converters – Conexant's analog to digital converters were used for far-field voice/speech capture applications. They converted analog signals to digital in order to enhance the signal before transmitting it to third party speech recognition products.  The technology is used in voice-enabled consumer products.  A low power version with a standby mode and a fast wake up mode is used for battery powered devices.
 * Codecs – Conexant's codecs encoded and decoded digital signals, to allow transmission, storage, encryption, and playback or editing. The codecs were used to improve audio signals in tablets and PCs, and for consumer audio applications such as conferencing, streaming media and editing.
 * USB & I2S DSP codecs – Conexant's DSP codecs had USB and integrated interchip sound (I2S) interfaces to connect to electronic devices such as headsets and docking stations.
 * VoiceSpeech processors – Conexant's VoiceSpeech line of system-on-chip (SoC) speech processors added voice command capabilities to smart TVs. Far-field voice pre-processing algorithms and 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion prevent a noisy television itself from interfering with a user's commands. The company's Smart Source Pickup technology maintained speech recognition in the presence of external noise. At CES 2016, Conexant introduced a new four-microphone voice input processor for smart voice applications, which included the company's Smart Source Locator (SSL) software, which gave the chip 360-degree voice location and speech recognition within 15 m.
 * AudioSmart software – Conexant developed AudioSmart software, audio and voice processing technologies for far-field voice communication and far-field speech control. Applications included speech recognition for smart home, smart phone, IoT, robotic and wearable devices, voice calls using social media apps, or Skype calling. Conexant's AudioSmart software was available on Windows, Android and Linux operating systems.

ImagingSmart
ImagingSmart was a line of silicon and software to improve performance of image dependent electronic equipment, such as document and photo imaging controllers, digital video, and devices with integrated fax or data modems, such as printers or point-of-sale terminals.

 * Document and photo imaging controllers – Conexant offered products for single-function and multi-function printers, photo printers, and other advanced printers. The chips integrate input/output features, including USB and serial, and embedded firmware allows printing to shared printers using tablets or smartphones.  The technology was compatible using Wi-Fi with several cloud computing printing services.
 * Digital video – Conexant's digital video and image encoders and HD processors were designed to improve video communications. The company also offered analog video decoders which capture and convert analog, terrestrial, and digital broadcast video.
 * Fax modem chips and data modem chips – Conexant's fax modem chips with VoIP support added fax modem functionality to multi-function printers. The low-power chips supported V.34 packet connectivity over enterprise networks, per the ITU-T G.1050 Network model for evaluating multimedia transmission performance over Internet Protocol.  Data modem chips are deployed in point-of-sale terminals.

Operations
Conexant's headquarters was in Irvine, California.

Tom Turpin

Thomas Million John Turpin (November 18, 1871 – August 13, 1922) was an African American composer of ragtime music.

Tom Turpin was born in Savannah, Georgia, a son of John L. Turpin and Lulu Waters Turpin. In his early twenties he opened a saloon in St. Louis, Missouri which became a meeting-place for local pianists and an incubation point for early folk ragtime, such as musicians Joe Jordan and Scott Joplin. This saloon, named the 'Rosebud Café', became the namesake of Joplin's 'Rosebud March' (1905). The saloon was closed in 1906.

Turpin is credited with the first published rag by an African-American, his "Harlem Rag" of 1897 (it was composed by 1892, a year before ragtime's introduction to the world at the 1893 Worlds Fair). He published a total of 7 compositions. Two were recorded by contemporary musicians: St. Louis Rag (1903) was recorded most notably by the United States Marine Band and Arthur Pryor's Orchestra in 1906, and Buffalo Rag (1904), was recorded by Vess L. Ossman.

Turpin was a large man, six feet (1.83 m) tall and 300 pounds (136 kg); his piano had to be raised on blocks so that he could play it standing up, otherwise his stomach would get in the way. In addition to his saloon-keeping duties and his ragtime composition, he controlled (with his brother Charles) a theater, gambling houses, dance halls, and sporting houses. He served as a deputy constable and was one of the first politically powerful African-Americans in St. Louis. His influence on local music earned him the title "Father of St. Louis Ragtime."

In 1922, Tom Turpin died of peritonitis, at the age of 50.

He was portrayed by Godfrey Cambridge in the 1977 film Scott Joplin.

Date
Turpin's date of birth is uncertain; both 1871 and 1873 appear in published sources. His gravestone says simply 1871. The 1900 Federal Census for the city of St. Louis (Enumeration District 220, Sheet 9, Line 79) listed his birthdate as "November 1871", but on his draft registration card he wrote November 18, 1874. However, some historians believe he was born in 1873.

Talk:E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

References to use

 * Please add to the list references that can be used for the film article.

Controversy Of E.T. being inspired from Satyajit Ray's The Alien (unproduced film)
The film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is said to have been inspired form Satyajit Ray's The Alien.

Stayajit Ray claimed that Steven Spielberg's film "would not have been possible without my script of The Alien being available throughout America in mimeographed copies." When the issue was raised by the press, Spielberg denied any plagiarism by saying, "I was a kid in high school when this script was circulating in Hollywood." (Star Weekend Magazine disputed Spielberg's claim, pointing out that he had graduated from high school in 1965 and began his career as a director in Hollywood in 1969).

The Times of India noted that E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) had "remarkable parallels" with The Alien. These parallels include the physical nature of the alien. In his screenplay, which Ray wrote entirely in English, he described the alien as "a cross between a gnome and a famished refugee child: large head, spindly limbs, a lean torso. Is it male or female or neuter? We don't know. What its form basically conveys is a kind of ethereal innocence, and it is difficult to associate either great evil or great power with it; yet a feeling of eeriness is there because of the resemblance to a sickly human child."

 * I am not sure this is a claim worth giving more space to. You can try adding it yourself and see what other editors think. Or you can use the edit request template. This not an appropriate use of the help template.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 18:19, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll note that the 3rd ref does not make an reference to Ray's proposed film or script, but compares Spielberg's film with a later Bollywood film that has components that can be considered comparable. It is therefore not a supporting reference for the statement it is attached to.
 * So is this proposed addition in line with UNDUE? Claims in Hollywood that some film has taken ideas from some earlier work are commonplace. Ray's claim that E.T. "would not have been possible" is just a claim (and, here, cited to a university newsletter source).  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 16:08, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Unofficial copy of E. T. in Bollywood by Rakesh Roshan for Koi Mil Gaya film.
I suggest to create a section - Remake or unofficial remakes of E.T. In India a famous director, producer copied E.T. and made a film - Koi Mil Gaya and he didn't gave credit to Steven Spilberg. He didn't purchased copyright form Steven Spilberg.he made thousands of dollars from that film the film started by Bollywood's famous actor Hritik Roshan just take a look of that article and you will understand how that man copied E.T.

Empathic connection starts before frog scene
The plot synopsis states that the empathic connection between ET and Elliot is first experienced when the alien is watching TV and Elliot is in science class. However, this connection was already established, though subtly, in the scene in the bedroom wherein we see ET's eyes blinking slowly as if he's sleepy and Elliot yawning and falling asleep on a chair. One might also say the connection was probably instant and first demonstrated by the mimicking of movements in the aforementioned scene.

Can we say something like that the connection was alluded to in these earlier scenes but most obviously manifest in the iconic science class anarchy scene? TheArcane03 (talk) 05:24, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

The term "alien" (alienation of the subject of the term) is offensive. Stop reverting this article to discriminatory language.
The term "alien", applying alienation to the subject, is culturally insensitive.

The matter of extraterrestrial life is fully established here:

The term "Universe" is synonymous with unity. Cosmic etiquette would address those originating from other star systems as our cosmic family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.235.223.163 (talk • contribs) 15:00, February 24, 2021 (UTC)

 * Britannica uses the word "alien" without issue here, for example. Also, please see WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. Changes like this needs a WP:CONSENSUS, and if editors are reverting you, then there is likely not one in your favor. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 15:40, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

 * The duration between when I posted this concern, and when it was contended to be non-persuasive was less than 1/3 of the time duration of just the first linked citation, let alone the others, let alone an allowance for contemplation.

 * I am certainly open to the possibility that extra-terrestrials exist. However, I am not open to rejecting the term "alien" based on a Twitter account from an alleged extra-terrestrial. Timefurtherout (talk) 20:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Please see WP:BRD. You can be bold with an edit, but you need to discuss if it gets reverted. The above links are not reliable sources to use to determine a consensus. In contrast, I see sources rejecting "alien" in regard to illegal immigration. That kind of thing can drive a discussion, but there is nothing similar here to apply to this topic and similar topics. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 15:44, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

 * The above links to me establish:
 * - Extraterrestrials are real, and pervasive, powerful efforts have been concealing the situation.
 * - Extraterrestrials recognize the term "alien" (meaning alienation of them) as offensive.

 * The counter-arguments do not address these points. A legitimate reversion should properly address the issue of the initial edit, and I do not believe that this has been the case.  Even if one wants to neglect the abundance of evidence that extraterrestrials are real (which should not be done), the feasibility of extraterrestrials being real demands that humanity's front door not have a sign that communicates "We're alienating you."  The Wikipedia terms of service call for civility, not the alienation of entities with which the subject is so unfamiliar that they don't even necessarily consider them real.  A civil world view requires an open mind, not alienation of the unknown. (Even though there is an abundance of evidence that it can be known, and that it is filled with tremendous love.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.235.223.163 (talk • contribs) 21:34, February 27, 2021 (UTC)

 * The word "alien" is perjorative and is rejected as a derogatory slur in the slang ways it is used today including as a label for undocumented immigrants. The term should not be applied as a label for benevolent beings such as the one depicted in this movie. In fact, popular culture predominantly uses this term in reference to hostile or malevolent beings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:9400:8aa0:3fb:c1a6:5ff9:d16:3f21 (talk • contribs) 02:11, February 28, 2021 (UTC)

 * I wonder if a better place to address this issue is Search for extraterrestrial intelligence. That seems to be the main Wikipedia article about whether extraterrestrials are real. It appears to contradict your assertion that the issue is settled. And it uses the term "alien" numerous times. Timefurtherout (talk) 05:02, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Anyone who believes in God or any other higher being who is not situated on Earth believes in an extraterrestrial. Anyone who believes in prayer believes in telepathy.  So the majority of the world population already believes in extraterrestrials, though not necessarily amidst the use of that term (https://www.pewforum.org/2012/12/18/global-religious-landscape-exec/).  The title "search for extraterrestrial life" is obfuscating, as addressed by the presented citations, and correspondingly unproductive.  Yet the point at hand, as explained now by multiple individuals, is that engaging in a stance of alienation is by definition offensive.  Pervasive offensiveness, even if unintended, is not justification for its continuation.  A stance of etiquette to the cosmos, rather than blanket alienation, is the matter at hand.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.235.223.163 (talk) 18:57, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

 * This is too metaphysical for Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Wikipedia summarizes others, and as long as "alien" and "extraterrestrial" are used interchangeably by reliable sources, there is no direct indication from the world at large that Wikipedia should narrow the language to just "extraterrestrial" in common use like for this film. Meanwhile, there is discussion about language in reference to other characteristics, which Wikipedia uses to update its approach. If the time comes where there is off-Wikipedia discussion about preferring "extraterrestrial" exclusively over "alien", then Wikipedia can consider such discussion. Wikipedia does not lead the way. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 19:52, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

 * The cited off-Wikipedia sources address the metaphysical nature of reality, whether comfortable or not, as well as the matter of rightminded disposition toward extraterrestrial life, and the manner by which "reliable" leading influencers are corrupted in their stances on this matter. My understanding is that it is Wikipedia's policy to consider presented research, and not to engage in needlessly insensitive language.

 * As it has now been nearly 2 years since my last statement above was posted without rebuttal, I again call for the removal of the offensive term "alien" (short for a bigoted stance of default "alienation" toward our extraterrestrial family).

The family's name
The article states Thompson as the family name, but the Washington Post's review states Taylor, which is as I recall it on the original release. Plenty of other sources (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) corroborate this name, also. If the name has verifiably changed in a recent edit of the film, then this should also be mentioned in the article. EP111 (talk) 04:13, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Cast
Should those who were inside ET be considered the cast? Take Pat Bilon for example, who was inside ET for most of the film.... Nauseous Man (talk) 04:15, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Issues with this featured article
I hate to do this, but this FA is showing its age. This is a notice before a potential FAR: hopefully these can be addressed. ~ HAL  333  01:24, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The lead is too short.
 * The cast section is mostly unsourced.
 * Also maybe add one or two images to that section.
 * There may also be some issues regarding comprehensiveness.
 * One thing missing is that Richard Attenborough said that ET should have won Best Picture.
 * There is also inconsistency in reference formatting.

Is there a raccoon character?
The section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial#Cast mentions a raccoon character. But the plot synopsis doesn't, nor can I find any mention of one when Google searching Greg Dahlen (talk) 11:41, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it's one of the teenage boys. ~ HAL  333  21:50, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, HAL . What makes you think so? The actor who is credited as playing "Raccoon" Frank Welker would have been 36 years old at the time the movie was made. You think he played a teenager? That's a big age difference. Greg Dahlen (talk) 10:57, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Good point... That's really why this article needs better sourcing. IMDb doesn't list any role, and it wasn't present when this article was promoted to FA. ~ HAL  333  14:05, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * After a little digging, apparently Walker voiced ET in a 1984 episode of Muppet Babies. He also appears to have had voice cameos in many Speilberg films. ~ HAL  333  18:55, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, HAL . Well, going through the article history, I see the Frank Welker/Raccoon edit was made by an IP address without a talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial&diff=prev&oldid=1023044282. I suppose I'll remove the edit and see if anyone does anything with/about the removal. Greg Dahlen (talk) 10:46, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * That was the right move. The closest I can figure is that Welker may have contributed to ET's voice: 18 people supposedly contributed and they apparently used raccoon recordings as well. (Or it's just an IP screwing around as usual.) But until a source is found that can support it, best if it isn't included. Cheers. ~ HAL  333  18:52, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Botanists
The Plot section describes the aliens a bit too clearly as "botanists". It's true that they appear to collect plant samples, and the main character has the power to revitalize withering flowers. But he has some other unusual powers, too, and we don't know what else did the aliens plan to do. So is it really so clear-cut that "botanists" is what they are?

I'd just write "Aliens secretly visit Earth" and not "Alien botanists". Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 07:51, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

"Allegations of Plagiarism" should be removed?
I'm honestly quite surprised that the "allegations of plagiarism" survived as its own section on this article for four years before becoming a subsection, but even so, I think it's time we revisit whether these allegations are WP:UNDUE. The discussion that preceded the addition of this section still exists above, and in it, many other users raised the same concerns I currently have, and yet the section was still added without consensus to do so and has survived.

First, the sources used for the section are almost entirely from India, where Satyajit Ray has an outsized influence, so there may be a nationalist bias. Furthermore, a number of major films have had similar allegations levied against them, yet those allegations are seldom included in Wikipedia articles (they really only should be included if they are a major part of the way the work is perceived, yet that isn't true here). The actual similarities are vague, far from the "remarkable parallels" mentioned in the article. Both Spielberg and Ray designed aliens that were alien-looking… how scandalous.

That last paragraph about Lisa Litchfield is also very random and insignificant.

I'll also add that the plagiarism allegations raised by Ray are already mentioned in other articles which are mentioned in the previous talk page discussion on this topic if there are inclusionist fears. RyanAl6 (talk) 22:24, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Charles L. Johnson

Charles Leslie Johnson (December 3, 1876 - December 28, 1950) was an American composer of ragtime and popular music. He was born in Kansas City, Kansas, died in Kansas City, Missouri, and lived his entire life in those two cities. He published over 300 songs in his life, nearly 40 of them ragtime compositions such as "Doc Brown’s Cakewalk", "Dill Pickles", "Apple Jack (Some Rag)", and "Snookums Rag". His best selling piece, a sentimental ballad called "Sweet and Low", sold over a million copies. Experts believe that had Johnson lived and worked in New York, he would be included alongside Scott Joplin, James Scott, and Joseph Lamb as one of the greatest ragtime composers. He wrote more than the other three combined and exemplified a greater range of talent, composing waltzes, tangos, cakewalks, marches, novelty pieces, and other types of music popular at that time.

Early life and education
Johnson was born in the Armourdale district of Kansas City, Kansas to James R. and Helen F. Johnson. Clearly a prodigy, he was playing a neighbor's piano by age six and began studying classical piano, harmony, and music theory a few years later. Although he had classical training, he always preferred the popular music of the day. His musical ability led him to proficiency on other instruments as well: guitar, violin, banjo, and mandolin. As a young man Johnson became involved in the music scene of Kansas City by participating in several local groups. In this environment he wrote his first compositions.

Personal life
Johnson was married twice, first to Sylvia Hoskins in 1901, and they had a daughter Frances. The marriage ended in unclear circumstances; the ultimate fates of Sylvia or Frances are unknown. He married his second wife, Eva Otis, in 1926. She remained with him until his death in 1950.

Musical career
Johnson's career was stable and prolific. He began work in the late 1890s for the J.W. Jenkins and Sons Music Company in Kansas City, Missouri plugging songs and playing piano. Over the next five years Jenkins would publish twelve of Johnson's songs. Eventually Johnson would compose for many other publishers. By 1907, Johnson had also formed his own publishing company, putting out his own music and those of other local composers. In addition, Johnson began vanity publishing for others, often writing music for the lyrics of others or simply arranging others’ compositions. His closest business partnership was with Fred John Adam Forster of the Forster Music Publisher, Inc. Although Johnson's career would wax and wane with the economy of the turn of the century, World Wars I and II, and the Depression, Charles always had work and could always respond to the musical climate of the U.S.

At some point in his career Johnson began writing under pseudonyms. He used Raymond Birch the most, penning several of his well-known rags under that name such as "Blue Goose Rag", "Melody Rag", and "Powder Rag". But he also used several others.

Under any name, however, Johnson was a significant contributor to the Ragtime Era and to rag music in general. By far the biggest hit of 1906 was Charles’ most successful rag "Dill Pickles". The first rag to sell a million copies was Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag"; the second was "Dill Pickles". It has been suggested that by 1906 ragtime was already beginning to wane. After the publication of "Dill Pickles" there was a revival of interest in ragtime that extended its life by nearly ten more years. This piece of music made use of the “three over four” syncopation that was subsequently copied and used in dozens of rags by other composers. Joplin himself had difficulty getting away from its conventions.

As mentioned before, Johnson had a remarkable ability to reflect the needs and trends of the time. A clear example of this was in his war pieces. During his musical career Charles wrote pieces for the Spanish–American War, World War I, and World War II. Certainly most of these pieces (numbering almost 20) responded to the patriotism of U.S. soldiers in World War I. Among these pieces were "GoodBye Susanna", "Be a Pilgrim (And Not a Ram)", "We Will Follow the Red, White, and Blue", and "We Are All in the Same Boat Now".

Percy Wenrich

Percy Wenrich (January 23, 1880 – March 17, 1952) was an American composer of ragtime and popular music. He is best known for writing the songs "Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet" and "When You Wore a Tulip and I Wore a Big Red Rose", along with the rag "The Smiler". For more than 15 years, Wenrich toured with his wife, vaudeville performer, Dolly Connolly; for whom he wrote several hit songs, including "Red Rose Rag", "Alamo Rag" and "Moonlight Bay". He was known throughout his lifetime as "The Joplin Kid".

Personal life and career
Percy Wenrich was born in Joplin, Missouri to Daniel Wenrich and Mary Ray (née). Although various documents differ in their claims of Wenrich's birth date, an 1880 census lists January 1880. Raised in southwest Missouri, Wenrich was heavily influenced by classic and folk ragtime. His mother, known as "the Berry County pianist", provided Wenrich with his first piano and organ lessons. By his teenage years, Wenrich was composing his own tunes; for which his father supplied the lyrics. Some of which were even used in the local political scene. In a September 1949 issue of Billboard Magazine, it was noted that Wenrich's songs "eulogized such Democratic stalwarts as Grover Cleveland and William Jennings Bryan, and were sung at political rallies and conventions by glee clubs organized on the spots." During this time, Wenrich joined a local minstrel group, where he began to learn cakewalks and ragtime melodies. On account of this, he became known as "The Joplin Kid". He published his first musical work at age 17 titled L’Inconnu, which Wenrich called "a two-step with a fancy title."

In 1901, Wenrich left for Chicago where he attended classes at the Chicago Musical College, run by Florenz Ziegfeld Sr. He continued to study organ with Louis Falk. Wenrich began working for the McKinley Music Company as a melody writer; as well as at Gimbel's Department Store selling sheet music. In 1903, Wenrich began writing ragtime works, the first of which was titled "Ashy Africa". Several other rags followed, including "Peaches and Cream" (1905), "Persian Lamb Rag" (1908), "Ragtime Chimes" (1912); but it was "The Smiler" (1907), subtitled "A Joplin Rag", which became his best-selling rag without lyrics.

In 1905, Wenrich met vaudeville performer Dolly Connolly. They married on July 3, 1906. With funds acquired from his hit song "Come Be My Rainbow", the couple moved to New York City around 1909. While in New York, Wenrich wrote a string of hit tunes including "Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet", "That Alamo Rag" and "Moonlight Bay", which he wrote especially for Connolly. Wenrich recalled writing the tune in Atlantic City, New Jersey: "It was a swell night, with the moon streaming over the ocean. Just as I ordered another beer I thought I heard some guy ask the orchestra to play a piece called 'Moonlight Bay.' I was mistaken; they hadn't requested it, for the reason there was no such song, but I got to thinking what a swell title it would make and went home to work it." Wenrich also wrote the hit song "Red Rose Rag" in 1911 for Connolly with lyrics by Edward Madden. Actor and comedian George Burns performed "Red Rose Rag" throughout his career. In 1907, Wenrich wrote the song "Rainbow", which sold over a million copies.

In 1913, Wenrich started his own music publishing firm with businessman Homer Howard located at 1412 Broadway in New York. Together they published a few hits, including "Whipped Cream Rag" and "Snow Deer". It was while working at Leo Feist Publishing that he wrote one of his biggest selling songs, "When You Wore a Tulip and I Wore a Big Red Rose". It sold over two million copies. In 1914, Wenrich dissolved his music publishing firm to devote his time exclusively to writing and performing with Connolly; accompanying her as a recording star with Columbia Records. A review in the 1916 Toronto World wrote of the pair: "Decided favorites in their offerings of new songs, written by Percy Wenrich, were Dolly Connolly and the composer himself. A number sung for the first time in Toronto, 'Sweet Cider [Time],' which is both catchy and musical, proved the 'hit' of the performance. Composer and singer had to respond to several recalls and an encore was insisted upon…”

In the early 1920s, Wenrich and Connolly moved to The Lambs Club on West 44th Street in Manhattan. There Wenrich wrote the musical Maid to Love with Raymond Peck. Due to its poor reception, the team wrote a new story, retained most of the songs, and renamed it The Right Girl, starring Connolly. It was reviewed in the New York Times on March 16, 1921: "Percy Wenrich's score as several high spots – 'Love's little Journey' was good for half a dozen encores last night, and there were several other numbers to set the feet tapping. Dolly Connolly, come from vaudeville, sang several of the best numbers vivaciously…" Wenrich and Peck followed their success with two more musicals: Some Party in 1922 and Castles in the Air in 1926. Neither included Connolly.

Wenrich and several of his colleagues formed a sensational review called "Songwriters on Parade", performing all across the Eastern seaboard on the Loew's and Keith circuits between 1931 and 1940. Wenrich and Connolly retired from touring together in the early 1930s. The couple appeared briefly on WEAF radio in New York between 1930 and 1932. In 1934, they moved to California. Wenrich's last memorable song "Sail Along, Silv'ry Moon" was published in 1937. In 1947, due to mental health deterioration, Wenrich committed Connolly to a sanatorium. A 1950 census lists her as a patient in the Central Islip Mental Hospital in Suffolk County, New York. She was awarded care of her sister after Wenrich's death until she died in 1965 at age 77.

In 1951, Wenrich's popularity was rediscovered with the Warner Bros. film On Moonlight Bay, starring Doris Day. To celebrate Wenrich, the film studio premiered the film on July 27, 1951, at the Paramount Theater in Joplin, Missouri. As a highlight, Mayor H. Chris Oltman issued a proclamation designating "Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet" as Joplin's official song. Due to illness, Wenrich did not attend the premiere. In their 1951 newsletter, the Lambs Club wrote of Wenrich: "He's not bitter, the Joplin Kid. He’s not the type. He’s had a grand life, a full life; he’s made people happy and they’ve been good to him and what else is there? His eyes still sparkle when he talks to showfolks and his memories keep him young. The Joplin Kid has indeed walked with kings without losing the common touch, and in this bebop-reefer-happy-dust era, it’s inspiring to visit a Brother Lamb like Percy Wenrich; there are so very few of them left. We hope Percy will be around a long, long time.”

Wenrich died in New York City in 1952 at the age of 72. He is buried in the Fairview Cemetery in Joplin, Missouri. He was a founding member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

Douchi

Douchi or tochi   (also known as fermented black soybeans, Chinese fermented black beans, salted black beans, salty black beans, or just black beans) is a type of fermented and salted black soybean most popular in the cuisine of China, where they are most widely used for making black bean sauce dishes.

Douchi is made by fermenting and salting black soybeans. The black type soybean is most commonly used and the process turns the beans soft, and mostly semi-dry (if the beans are allowed to dry). Regular soybeans (white soybeans) are also used, but this does not produce "salted black beans"; instead, these beans become brown. The smell is sharp, pungent, and spicy; the taste is salty, somewhat bitter and sweet. The product made with white soybeans is called mianchi.

Douchi, "Chinese salted black beans", and "black soybeans" are not the same as the black turtle bean, a variety of common bean that is commonly used in the cuisines of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

History
Fermented black soybeans are the oldest-known food made from soybeans. In 165 BCE, they were placed, clearly marked, in Han Tomb No. 1 at Mawangdui Tomb Site in South Central China. The tomb was sealed about 165 BCE and was first opened in 1972. The high-ranking woman to whom the undisturbed tomb belonged was probably the wife of the first Marquis of Tai.

In 90 BCE, in the Records of the Grand Historian by Sima Qian, Chapter 69, refers to 1,000 earthenware vessels of mold-fermented cereal grains and salty fermented soybeans (shi). They were now an important commodity in China. When the prince of Huainan (legendary inventor of tofu) was exiled for inciting rebellion (in 173 BCE) against his brother, the Han Emperor Wendi, his retinue and he were, nevertheless, provided with such necessities of life as firewood, rice, salt, shi (fermented black soybeans), and cooking utensils. This date, 173 BCE, is before Han Tomb No. 1 at Mawangdui was sealed.

Use
It is used as an ingredient for mapo tofu. Douchi is also used to flavor fish or stir-fried vegetables (particularly bitter melon and leaf vegetables). Unlike some other fermented soybean-based foods such as natto or tempeh, douchi is used only as a seasoning, and is not meant to be consumed in large quantities, being typically much saltier.

Small packets of douchi are available wherever Chinese foods are sold.

Some common dishes made with douchi are steamed spare ribs with fermented black beans and chili pepper (豉椒排骨), and braised mud carp with fermented black beans (豆豉鯪魚).

Around the world
Fermented black soybeans are an ancient traditional food, used as condiments and seasonings in many Far Eastern countries and Chinese diaspora communities, where they are known by a variety of names.

 * In Japanese, douchi is also referred to as daitokuji natto, hamanatto, hamananatto, shiokara-natto, and tera-natto, sometimes using the same Han characters (豆豉), similar ones (豆鼓), or completely different ones; however, they are almost never known by their Chinese name Zushi (豆豉 or ずし)
 * In Korea, a similar black bean sauce made from roasted soy beans called chunjang is used in the well-known jjajangmyeon. It was first introduced by Chinese settlers in Incheon in the early 20th century; chunjang has made several changes and evolutionary steps over time.
 * In Thailand, this sauce is called เต้าซี่ ("tausi") and is made from the black soybean. Normally, Chinese Thais use it for original old Chinese recipe such as sauce, steam etc.
 * In Vietnam, this sauce is called tàu xì or đậu xị and is made from the black soybean.
 * In Cambodia, douchi is also referred to as seang, or fermented salted bean, in the Khmer language, and is a common recipe. It is often used with the fermented salted fish  prahok.
 * In Philippine cuisine, it is called tausi in Cebuano and Tagalog, both derived from the Lan-nang tāu-sīⁿ (豆豉). It is often used when steaming fish.
 * In Cantonese-speaking regions, douchi is referred to as dau6si6 ("douchi") or haak1dau2 dau6si6 ("black-bean douchi").
 * In Chinese Indonesian cuisine, it is called tausi which is derived from its Hokkien name. It is usually used in kakap tahu tausi, which is stir-fried red snapper, tofu, and douchi.
 * In Spanish-speaking parts of Latin America, douchi is commonly referred to as tausí or tau-sí.
 * Similar African fermented products are ogiri and iru.

Black bean paste
A condiment called black bean paste, black bean sauce (豆豉醬), or black bean garlic sauce (蒜蓉豆豉酱), Tochidjan (豆豉醬), prepared from douchi, garlic, and soy sauce, is popular in Chinese cuisine.

Patty McCormack

Patricia McCormack (born Patricia Ellen Russo  August 21, 1945 ) is an American actress with a career in theater, films, and television.

McCormack began her career as a child actress. She is perhaps best known for her performance as Rhoda Penmark in Maxwell Anderson's 1956 psychological drama The Bad Seed. She received critical acclaim for the role on Broadway and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Mervyn LeRoy's film adaptation. Her acting career has continued with both starring and supporting roles in film and television, including Helen Keller in the original Playhouse 90 production of The Miracle Worker, Jeffrey Tambor's wife Anne Brookes on the ABC sitcom The Ropers, and as Pat Nixon in Frost/Nixon (2008).

She also appeared in the November 11, 1982, season 3 episode 8..."Foiled Again" of Magnum, P.I. with Tom Selleck. She was also cast and appeared as Adriana La Cerva's mother in The Sopranos.

Life and career
McCormack was a child model at the age of four, and began appearing on television at the age of seven. She made her motion-picture debut in Two Gals and a Guy (1951) and appeared as Ingeborg in the television series Mama with Peggy Wood from 1953 to 1956. Her Broadway debut was in Touchstone (1953), and the following year, she originated the role of Rhoda Penmark, an eight-year-old psychopath and fledgling serial killer, in the original stage version of Maxwell Anderson's The Bad Seed (1954) with Nancy Kelly. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film version (1956). She portrayed Helen Keller in the original 1957 Playhouse 90 production of William Gibson's The Miracle Worker opposite Teresa Wright.

In 1957, she was cast by Orson Welles in his film adaptation of Don Quixote, but filming had to be abandoned for budgetary reasons, and was never fully completed. When a version was edited together in 1992, some years after Welles's death, it did not include any of McCormack's scenes, though they had been central to the framing of the plot. In 1959 she was in an episode of One Step Beyond called "Make Me Not a Witch". She had the role of a pampered child star in the 1958 comedy Kathy O' and recorded the title song for Dot Records. McCormack briefly starred in her own series, Peck's Bad Girl, with Marsha Hunt and Wendell Corey in 1959, and had a leading role in MGM's remake of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with Eddie Hodges. In the early 1960s, she starred in a series of popular teenage delinquent films, including The Explosive Generation with William Shatner and The Young Runaways. In 1962, she portrayed Julie Cannon in the Rawhide episode "Incident of the Wolvers" (s.5, e.8); she appeared on the show again the following year, playing Sarah Higgins in the episode "Incident at Paradise".

She married restaurateur Bob Catania in 1967, and the couple had two children before their marriage was dissolved. After a half-dozen teen roles during the 1960s, her film career gradually declined, but she continued to work in television. In 1970, she played Linda Warren on the soap opera The Best of Everything. She guest-starred on The Streets of San Francisco, season two, episode "Blockade". She also portrayed a San Francisco paramedic on the season-seven Emergency! series episodes "What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing...?" and "The Convention". She resumed her cinema career with Bug in 1975. She played advertising executive Beth Donaldson in "The Little People" episode of "The Love Boat" S2 E10 which aired on 11/24/1978.

McCormack held several recurring roles in popular television series, including Dallas, Murder, She Wrote, and The Sopranos. McCormack also starred as Anne Brookes, the wife of Jeffrey P. Brookes III (played by Jeffrey Tambor) on the ABC television series The Ropers, a spin-off of Three's Company starring Norman Fell and Audra Lindley, from 1979 to 1980. When Kathryn Hays left the CBS soap opera As the World Turns for an extended period, McCormack took Hays' role until she returned. She starred as a psychotic mother in the cult thriller Mommy and its 1997 sequel Mommy 2: Mommy's Day. In 2008, McCormack played First Lady Pat Nixon in the feature film Frost/Nixon. McCormack continues to work regularly and she costarred in the 2012 series Have You Met Miss Jones?. A recent film appearance is in the 2014 release Chicanery and she guest-starred in a 2013 episode of the series Hart of Dixie. Her most notable recent work was in the Paul Thomas Anderson film  The Master.

In April 2018, it was announced that McCormack would join the cast of General Hospital temporarily replacing Leslie Charleson in the role of Monica Quartermaine due to injuries Charleson sustained in a fall. In September 2018, McCormack portrayed Dr. March, the child psychiatrist consulted in the 2018 television remake of The Bad Seed.

Awards
McCormack was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for The Bad Seed. On March 20, 1956, she received the Milky Way "Gold Star Award" as the most outstanding juvenile performer, in which Sal Mineo was placed third and Tommy Rettig second.

Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is at 6312 Hollywood Boulevard. She received the star in 1960 aged 15, making her the youngest honoree on the Walk.

McCormack was a guest for the 2009 Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention, where her films were screened, and she received an award during the closing ceremonies.

What is the point of this page, no other  people by nationality exists but this one. I think it is assumed if there is a  People, that category is "by occupation". -- EmperorBMA|話す 17:53, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

See
 * Category:British people by occupation
 * Category:Welsh people by occupation
 * Category:Scottish people by occupation
 * Category:English people by occupation

Took me two minutes, including cut-and-paste time, to find these. --Calton 21:26, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the list. I update my statement: There are only a few of them, while most countries do not have the additional category. -- EmperorBMA|話す 00:14, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

There's a definite bias towards the developed world, but I'm not seeing the problem here. --Calton 03:48, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * The behavior is still inconsistent between articles. At the very least we should standardize on one or the other.  In matters of efficiency I tend toward minimalism, so I personally favor putting occupations under the main article.  In my opinion it unnecessarily duplicates pages and it hides some occupations (scientist, artist) and does not consistently hide others (politician, emperor, king), therefore it is redundant. -- EmperorBMA|話す 14:41, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I've read that three times and I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. "Inconsistent between articles"? "Standardize on one or the other"? "Minimalism"? "Duplication"? How about some actual examples? --Calton 20:55, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * What I want to determine is whether we should be separating "by occupation" from 'Category:"nation" people' or not. It seems needless to separate occupations, when most people of a country are defined by occupation anyway.  What other categorization schema do we use for people, but their occupation?  If we had "people by educational demographic" or something I'd understand the need for "by occupation", but since we do not, I believe that by occupation is the assumption, not the exception.  I'm sorry for not being having been crystal clear with this, but I wasn't sure of the depth of the situation, because my test Category:People by occupation does not seem to have all the countries that have "people by occupation" as subcategories, so my test was flawed.

 * I think what I did wrong was use Category:People by occupation's subcategories as the list of countries that had this, but that was obviously incorrect. My problem is, why do we separate the people by occupation thing from nationality for some countries, but not others.  (Admittedly it is less of an argument now that you found all the rest) -- EmperorBMA|話す 03:05, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * P.S. Sorry for all the confusion, I must have said it clearer in my head than I wrote it... (Communication skill critical failure and all...) -- EmperorBMA|話す 03:15, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I came here via RFC. I don't see any problem with this category. At worst, it hurts nothing. Maurreen 05:02, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks to everyone for being *really* patient here. If anyone agrees with my position (by tomorrow, say) I'll keep this open, otherwise I think I'll remove it from RFC. -- EmperorBMA|話す 05:14, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Mbanna Kantako

Untitled
Okay, if this article is still a two line stub in april 2005, forgive me, I've been working hard on other things. ParkingStones 17:54, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Who is Mbanna Kantako? In what country does this person live and what has this person done that merits public attention that can be documented in Wikipedian fashion by reference to existing sources? MPLX/MH 20:10, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, so I did a Google search to answer my own questions. What I discovered is that unlike most of the offshore pirate radio stations of Europe, the two most recent versions in North America (Radio Free America and Radio Newyork International) or the one off New Zealand (Radio Hauraki), this is really about the anarchy movement of which the radio station is but a part. Most of what I discovered from a quick search on the net was either written by this individual or influenced by this individual. So there is no story there. As part of a wider article about the anarchy movement or even as a biography the way this has been started off, is how I see the radio being linked in. It could be referenced under "See also" on the Pirate Radio in North America article. This stub should not have been created as is since it does not link to anything or explain anything. I will get it going for you. MPLX/MH 20:21, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Moved from the Pirate radio Talk page
On the page under the opening of the article, you put down "His station called Human Rights Radio has received some media coverage which has in turn inspired others of like mind to follow his lead." That's kind what he started. He has been highly influential in a movement now known as microradio. The book "Free Radio" by Larry Soley talks a lot about this subject involving Kantako and others who came behind him such as Stephen Dunifer. I've also not read much that leads me to the conclusion that Kantako is an anarchist. He's very much influenced by black liberation, but I've read nothing that makes him an anarchist. Microradio and Pirate radio as a whole is most certainly a tool advocated by anarchists, but that, as well, has no bearing on his political philosophy.ParkingStones 21:58, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The original sub-sub-stub said nothing. There is now an article which you are free to modify in any way you see fit. Wikipedia does not like sub-stubs because no one has any idea of why they are there.
 * First of all this guy did not start pirate radio in any form or fashion. I can cite a list of people who were at it long before him. I can also cite FCC court cases that predate this guy not to mention a massive pile of articles and books. I think what we have here is a bunch of people who came along and thought they were inventing something that already existed. By the way, MOST uses of pirate radio have been for COMMERCIAL purposes; this includes most of the offshore stations. As for the land based stations it depends upon whether you are refering to the USA or somewhere else as to whether they are in the category of anarchism.
 * It may come as a surprise but since 1990 the UK has been handing out licenses for 1 watt stations and this is what the current and legal Radio Caroline has been using!
 * Question: if this guy is not an anarchist, then WHO is he trying to liberate? You mentioned Black Liberation. I was not aware that Tavis Smiley who is Black, has been shouting to be liberated. Heck, he was on the NPR network and he is still on PBS not to mention a lot of other major media outlets. So using the term "Black Liberation" is very misleading and self-serving. So what exactly is this guy fighting for and what has he succeeded in accomplishing?

Anyway, there is now an article which you can modify in any NPOV way that you would like to do so. MPLX/MH 23:09, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Blitz Research

Blitz Research Ltd is an Auckland, New Zealand–based company which currently produces three BASIC based programming languages. Founded in 2000 by Mark Sibly, the company's first product was the now obsolete Blitz BASIC 2D, a PC version of the Amiga Blitz Basic. It was released the same year as the company's foundation. In 2001, Blitz3D was released. This allowed programmers to create 3D games and applications in Blitz Basic using DirectX.

In 2003, Blitz Basic 2D was rendered obsolete by the more recent BlitzPlus. BlitzPlus built on the foundations of Blitz Basic 2D and also allowed programmers to create true Microsoft Windows programs as well as games.

In December 2004, Blitz Research released the BlitzMax programming language for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Unlike all the other Blitz programming languages, BlitzMax can use either OpenGL or DirectX.

In 2011, Blitz Research released the programing language Monkey along with Monkey X, a game engine producing C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, and ActionScript code, among other languages. In May 2015 Monkey 2 was announced.

Blitz Research also produced the Maplet modelling tool, which is now no longer supported.
