Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Xed/Evidence

The validity of the e-mail
This is a conversation that I know has been had in the past. I've argued previously that it needs to be considerable, and I will do so again. The reasons are twofold.

First, right now it is simply too large a loophole. A user can intimidate, threaten, and cause all of the problems of a personal attack with no fear of consequence as long as they use the private e-mail addresses that are readily available. The reason we hvae a no personal attacks policy is not some ethical judgment on personal attacks, or some desire to maintain the purity of Wikipedia. It's because personal attacks make people unable to edit. They create an environment where one does not feel safe and where one does not feel welcome. Moving the personal attacks to e-mail does not fix these fundamental problems. Personal e-mails can and do directly affect the usability of Wikipedia. As someone who has been harassed by Wikipedia users in private channels, I can attest to their toxic effect. This loophole needs to be closed.

Second, in this case, the other argument against it - the unverifiability of e-mail - may not be an issue. Since the "E-mail this user" link was employed. Thus the e-mail was submitted via the site, and presumably there is some sort of dev-checkable log of the e-mail. Snowspinner 16:58, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

A followup. I point out that the arbcom is not bound to notions of "beyond a reasonable doubt." In the event of a "He sent this harassing e-mail"/"No I didn't" dispute, it is not explicitly or, to my mind, implicitly outside the arbcom's jurisdiction to make the character judgment about who they believe. The judgment that a user can be reformed and what sanction is needed to promote that reformation is already one that the arbcom makes. This is not an unreasonable extension of that. Snowspinner 17:06, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

 * "the arbcom does not have jurisdiction as this occured in private emails outside of WIkipedia." ?Raul654
 * "It is out of our jurisdiction to arbitrate over the contents of private e-mails." Nohat
 * "Wikipedia editors are under no obligation to not express their feelings privately through E-mail. That is simply out of the ArbCom's jurisdiction, just as it would be if we found out that Ed Poor liked to drown kittens." VeryVerily
 * "Taking about wikipedia in a private email does not mean that the AC has the right to do anything about it." Theresa Knott

Seems like one rule for me and one rule for the admins. - XED . talk  17:08, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I am, to be clear, asking this stance to be reconsidered. Note that the arbcom explicitly does not bind itself to precedent, and is welcome to reconsider this viewpoint at any time. I am asking them to do so. Snowspinner 17:10, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, it's clear. The rules are changed only when it's in the admins interest. Same old story. - XED . talk  17:18, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Xed comes up with some handy quotes from his previous arbitration request to argue that emails are not a matter for arbitration. I think it's worth mentioning another quote from that discussion: ''No, I simply believe harassing people by email is unacceptable. --Xed 19:30, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)'' --Michael Snow 17:56, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I stick by it by what I said. Jimbo, Benevolent Dictator, harassed Secretlondon. I, on the other hand, merely responded to Rubenstein's abuse. Unprovoked harassment from either admins or the Great Leader, is a far more serious matter. Incidentally, I'm not arguing that emails are not a matter for arbitration - I'm just pointing of the disparity the way rules are invented on the fly - they all always invented in the admin's favour. Perhaps you can point out an instance where this isn't true. The direction of Wikipedia is increasingly dictatorial, authoritarian and legalistic, a fact proved by this Rfa. - XED . talk  18:17, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I feel I should say something here as I am being quoted by Xed above, but before i do I want to remind everyone that I am recused from this case and am speaking as an wikipedian rather than an arbitrator. Whilst i hope that the arbitrators will take my opinion into account, I know that will give it no more weight than anyone elses. Right having said that:

I have always believed that private email communication is just that. Private. I don't believe that email falls under the juristiction of the AC. It's not a question of being able to prove or not if a user actually sent the email or it was an imposter. That, to me is irrelavent. Even if Xed did send that email, and I believe he did, it's none of our business.

 * You make it sound like I have denied sending the email. - XED . talk  23:10, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

We are not in charge of the whole internet! Now I know that people are going to argue that it was sent through wikipedia email, but this service is only there so that you can allow people to email you without pasting an email adress in full view of spammers. Sending an email via wikipedia does not mean wikipedia is responsible for it or the AC should deal with it.

Having said that, there are situations where emails can be used in evidence. If user A emails user B and says "I going to vandalise Wikipedia" and B chooses to tell people about that email and later on the AC need to determine if A is a good faith editor, then the email is evidence that he is not. I have no sympathy for A he shouldn't have been so stupid as to go blabbing his mouth off. The key difference between this hypothetical situation and the real situation above is that here, the crime (for want of a better word) is being committed on Wikipedia. Sending an abusive email to someone is commiting a crime (I really do need to find a better word) on the internet.

As a longstanding member of wikipedia I have received my fair share of abusive emails. Anyone who ever blocks vandals will get an abusive email now and then. I always deal with them in the same way. I delete the email and kill file the sender. I don't even read the whole email, as soon as it's clear it's abusive it gets delt with. This stategy makes it impossible to harrass me via email, because after the first one I never see any more. Other things that people can do are to take their emails off their user profiles so that no one can ever email them, complain to the senders isp or complain to the police if it's serious enough. Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 22:51, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Your analysis ignores the fact that I was attacked on Wikipedia first, not via email, and yet I am the one having to defend myself. Are you suggesting my email requires police action? Imprisonment perhaps? Someone has suggested complaining to my ISP - all because I chose to respond to Rubenstein's abuse. And yet I have never suggested complaining to Ohio University about Rubenstein using his time to attack people by going around calling them "small-minded morons" on the internet. Such courses of action are idiotic- XED . talk  23:10, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * In an arbitration case everyone's behaviour is assesed, not just yours. I am not suggesting you email requires police action, I am suggesting that your email should be delt with by deletion and killfiling you. All i am saying is that, in a hypothetical case, where an email was so abusive or harrasing that the recipient felt threatened they'd be better off calling the police than coming to the AC. Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 23:32, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Bauder
Bauder has removed my comments 3 times now. The first time was clearly a deliberate provocation. The second deletion made the problem worse. The second deletion was reversed after Rubenstein told him to - illustrating my the point I made above about one rule (invented on the fly) for admins and one for the rest of us. If Bauder is unable to maintain a balanced approach he should recuse himself. - XED . talk  15:29, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Rubenstein has just moved my comments, stripping them of context. I put them back into their correct positions - XED . talk  16:49, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I have made changes only for the space in which I present evidence to support my case. If I do not want to include something as evidence, then I will delete it.  If Xed believes it is important evidence, by all means he should post it -- but in the space for evidence of his choosing.  Not mine.  I claim no control over his space.  For him to claim control over my space is just another example of his small minded bullying. Slrubenstein   |  Talk  18:25, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * You have already indicated on Bauder's talk page that you "do not mind Xed writing comments in my evidence section". My comments have been removed 3 times by Bauder and moved twice by you. I am keeping a count as evidence of your obfuscation and bullying -  XED . talk  18:32, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Now Rubenstein moved them 3 times in a desperate attempt to remove the context-  XED . talk

 * 5 times in a desperate attempt to remove the context-  XED . talk

After removing my comments 3 times, Bauder has threatened to block me. He has shown he is unable to maintain a balanced approach, and both he and Rubenstein have resorted to bullying tactics. - XED . talk

Xed please read the instructions at the top of the page "Please make a section for your evidence and add evidence only in your own section." It's very clear that you are not allwed to edit other peoples sections. Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 18:57, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Rubenstein indicated he does "not mind Xed writing comments in my evidence section". I put those comments in after he made that statement. Now he wishes to move my comments so it seems like I'm randomly rambling rather than responding to his specific comments. This is not only deceptive, but bullying - XED . talk  19:03, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * What a child. The policy is, I choose what evidence to include in my section.  My message to Fred was an assertion of my choice to include stuff you had written.  Now there is stuff you have written that I choose to exclude.  There is no contradiction or inconsistency or double-standard her; the principle is simple -- I choose what goes in my section.  My choices are not deceptive, and they certainly are not bullying, because I leave you free to edit your own section as you please.  Yet you wish to deny me the very right you enjoy.  For you to claim the right to choose what goes in my section is just one more example of your bullying behavior. Slrubenstein   |  Talk  19:36, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Xed - whatever Slrubenstein said about this - I want to make it clear that I, as an arbitrator, do not want you to edit in his section of the evidence. This is part of the usual practice for these pages and makes things a lot easier in understanding the evidence and who is saying what. If you want to quote parts of what Slr has said, that's fine - but do so in your own section. Most importantly: if any of the arbitrators refactor the evidence page - please to not revert it. We do so often when we feel it will help us and other arbitrators in our work. -- sannse (talk) 20:22, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Exchange between Slrubenstein and Xed
As evidence I presented an e-mail Xed sent to me (through the Wikipedia link) in which he writes, "What a sycophantic cunt your are." I responded that I felt this was a wholly disproportionate and inappropriate response to my initial comment that Xed is "small minded" for being so abusive to others. Xed replied, "You have failed to explain why I should just sit back and take your abuse, so the only conclusion one can make is that you regard yourself as having greater rights." My response is too lengthy and indirect to include as "evidence," so I am placing it here. This also should provide Xed a place to respond to me without violating policy:

 * Then you lack imagination and sense. Fortunately, this can be overcome with practice.  Here is one way you could have reacted to my calling you small-minded: you could have said, "you are right -- I disagree strongly with Jimbo, but there is no need to attack him personally" (a response which would have demonstrated that you actually aren't so small-minded).  And even if you did not decide that I was right -- even if you are convinced that your behavior is not small-minded -- you could have responded this way: "Slrubenstein, you are out of line.  Maybe you don't understand the context.  Jimbo refuses to allow a banner inviting people to donate to tsunami-relief"  I would still take issue with your view, and would explain why -- but at least this alternate response invites dialogue.  The reason you are small-minded is because your mind cannot imagine or comprehend either of these two possible responses.  You make it clear that you view any criticism as the worst form of abuse, to which you will only retaliate in kind -- except you have no sense of proportion ("Fuck off you little shit" is not proportionate to "small-minded"), which itself is just more evidence of small-mindedness (well, more specifically, insecurity and hysteria).  I do not think I have more rights than anyone else.  And I have never done anything to infringe on your rights.  I do believe I have the right to express my views.  And believe it or not, I think you have the right to express your views too.  But I do not think you have the right to bully other people.  And alas, this is all you seem to be: a bully.Slrubenstein   |  Talk  23:06, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I have to say, I am beginning to think that Xed really is not a moron, but rather suffers from a personality disorder. This would explain his inflated perceptions of being attacked, as well as his inability to understand simple things. For example, after I added more information to my evidence, he wrote:
 * Please note that Rubenstein has changed his story during this arbitration. He originally claims: After reading an exchange in which Xed poured abuse on Jimbo and blamed Jimbo for the suffering of others, I wrote "You have such a small, petty mind." on Xed's talk page.

 * This was changed to: I agreed with what Pakaran wrote, and did not like the way Xed dismissed Pakaran's comment, so I wrote, "You have such a small, petty mind." on Xed's talk page.

 * As often happens with the guilty, Rubenstein's story changes with the wind. Watch out for further changes.

Of course, I haven't changed my story at all -- I have simply provided more detail to illustrate the story. My "claim" that I told Xed that he is small-minded was in response to all the abuse he poured on Jimbo. Xed doesn't understand how this could be, when -- he claims -- the discussion was about some banner. But Pakaran's statement clearly reveals that Xed knew that he was being criticized for his abusive behavior.

Xed's misperceptions are rampant: he thinks that to accuse him of "abusing" Jimbo is to criticize him for "arguing" with Jimbo -- abuse and argument are clearly different, although if I am right about Xed's personality disorder, perhaps he actually perceives any disagreement as abuse. It might also account for his thinking he was "defending" Secretlondon when all he was doing was abusing Jimbo (his so-called defense has not one word of defense, it is all attack).

Indeed, it might explain the very abuse against Jimbo. Note that according to Xed's own account of the banner incident -- I mean, what is objective fact -- Jimbo did nothing wrong. He expressed an opinion; one editor made a change because he agreed with Jimbo; other editors expressed their disagreement; the change was reverted. Clearly, if Jimbo were a dictator, there would be no record of the discussion and the change would not have been reverted. All that happened here is what happens every day on other pages being edited. It is only through the lense of Xed's paranoia that he sees some evil plot Slrubenstein  |  Talk  00:02, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I guess I need to be clearer. I recognize that "moron" is a personal attack and although I did think it was true at the time, I do not any more and regret it, and apologize. But when I call attention to Xed's personality disorder it is not as a personal attack -- indeed, I think it is a mitigating factor explaining some of his actions. I say this not as an attack, but with sympathy for him. Slrubenstein  |  Talk  22:08, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

'''It is now clear that Xed takes my comment concerning a personality disorder as a personal attack rather than as a sympathetic comment. For this I am sorry. It was not meant to be a personal attack, and if that is how it is being understood, I withdraw it, and apologize.''' Slrubenstein  |  Talk  23:34, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Xed should remove this false complaint.
Xed comments, "Rubenstein, perhaps in a sign of desperation, starts creating straw men to bolster his threadbare argument by claiming I thought him writing "Actually, I'd say you just made the point for him." was a personal attack.

Where have I said that you thought I was making a personal attack when I wrote that you were making Mel's point for him? You should remove this accusation of desperation and creating straw-men.Slrubenstein  |  Talk  20:11, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Altered and expanded - XED . talk  21:28, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I don't understand. it must be my mental illness. - XED . talk  22:15, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Stop it
Both of you, please stop edit warring on this page - it is not helping your case at all. Xed: if Slrubenstein wants to remove his comments from this talk page, then let him. If you want to enter them into the evidence, then you can do so by providing diffs in your section of the evidence page, they will be read. Slrubenstein: you are removing comments made by Xed as well as your own - this is not acceptable either. You are also using rollback in a personal dispute, which is rude and unnecessary. I suggest that if either of you find you are getting into an edit war on any arbitration page then you stop. Ask an arbitrator for an opinion and assistance. -- sannse (talk) 13:12, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Rubensteins removal of my comments on this page is just another example of his bullying and abuse, to add to:

 * 1) Calling me small minded
 * 2) Calling me a moron (repeatedly)
 * 3) Calling me mentally ill ("suffering from a personailty disorder")
 * 4) Calling me mentally retarded ("he suffers from a congenital cognitive deficit"). Bizarrely he withdrew his "moron" statement saying "I no longer believe he is a moron", but soon came up with "congenital cognitive deficit" - which virtually means the same thing.
 * I wish I could say I'm surprised. I'm not. However, I am disappointed. - XED . talk  13:34, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I have not removed any of my remarks concerning items 1-4, above. Nor is it my intention to remove anything Xed wrote. The only remark I am trying to remove is one I deleted as soon as I wrote it. Slrubenstein  |  Talk  20:49, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Contributions
I don't know if this amounts to Evidence directly relevant to this particular Arbitration case, so I'll post here for now. I just want to say that I am puzzled by Snowspinner's analysis of User:Xed's contributions of last week (in his Evidence section). It escapes me how an analysis of one week's contributions of any user that has an arbitration filed against him could be put forward as 'evidence' that the user doesn't do good work at all.

Clearly, not all of Xed's contributions are 'good' in the sense the arbitrators mean in Proposed_decision#Xed's contributions — there is enough evidence showing that User:Xed has been rude and uncivil at times. But the present statement by User:Snowspinner strikes me as nothing more than a nasty hit below the belt. — mark ✎ 20:58, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I dont like the language "nasty hit below the belt" but I do agree with the overall point you are making. I'd hate for people to go through my contributions looking for weeks where I didn't make any decent edits, I'm sure they'd find plenty of qualifying weeks. Theresa Knott (ask the rotten) 08:06, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * To clarify, I did not go looking for weeks. I picked the most recent week. When Xed raised a sensible objection to that, I picked the week before arbitration. I have submitted as evidence every week that I've looked at. There was no effort made to pick a week that particularly supported my claim that Xed doesn't do much good. Snowspinner 14:55, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to imply that you did anything of the sort. All I am saying is that a week is a very short period of time. Too short, I believe, to give a true representation of a contibutor's good edits. Theresa Knott (ask the rotten) 18:28, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Snowspinner refers sneeringly to this article I was writing - User:Xed/draft5 - as a "minor article edit" and goes on to say "I fail to see the good contributions", and that it is "absurd" to claim that I do any good work. In fact, to write some of the article I had to go to a specialist library (SOAS) to get some of the information, since information of that nature is not readily available on the internet. This is more than most people would do, yet Snowspinner just sneers at it all. For this reason, I really can't be fucking bothered anymore. - XED . talk  18:52, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Gillet de Laumont

François Pierre Nicolas Gillet de Laumont (28 May 1747 – 1 June 1834) was a French mineralogist.

He was born in Paris, educated at a military school and served in the army from 1772 to 1784, when he was appointed inspector of mines. His attention in his leisure time was wholly given to mineralogy, and he assisted in organizing the new École des Mines in Paris.

He was author of numerous mineralogical papers in the "Journal et Annales des Mines". The mineral laumontite, which Laumont discovered in the mines of Huelgoat, was named after him by René Just Haüy. After the death of Jean-Baptiste L. Romé de l'Isle in 1790, Laumont purchased his large collection of minerals and crystals.

During his career, he was awarded with the Ordre de la Réunion (1813), the Légion d'honneur (1815) and the Ordre de Saint-Michel (1819). He died in Paris in 1834.

Bonaire, Georgia

Bonaire is an unincorporated community in Houston County in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is 6 mi south of the center of Warner Robins and is part of the Warner Robins Metropolitan Statistical Area. Bonaire is located on and around U.S. Route 129, which is connected to Interstate 75 by Georgia State Route 96, As of 2021, SR 96 bypass Bonaire. Bonaire is the hometown of former state Governor and 31st United States Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. Bonaire is also the location of the TV show Critter Fixers.

History
The inhabitants of the area formed Bonaire around the newly laid Georgia Southern & Florida railway when it came through in 1888. Newspaper records in 1888 uniformly spell it without the final "e", but in 1889 the modern spelling began to be used (perhaps because the post office was registered with that spelling on Dec 3, 1888 ). The name is reputedly of French origin, meaning "good air". The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Bonaire in 1912. The town's charter was dissolved in 1995. On April 5, 2022, the town was heavily damaged by a high-end EF3 tornado, which damaged or destroyed multiple homes and knocked down trees, power poles, and power lines. One person was injured.

Simile (computer virus)

Win32/Simile (also known as Etap and MetaPHOR) is a metamorphic computer virus written in assembly language for Microsoft Windows. The virus was released in its most recent version in early March 2002. It was written by the virus writer "Mental Driller". Some of his previous viruses, such as Win95/Drill (which used the TUAREG polymorphic engine), have proved very challenging to detect.

When the virus is first executed, it checks the current date. If the host file (the file that is infected with the virus) imports the file User32.dll, then on 17 March, June, September, or December, a message is displayed. Depending on the version of the virus, the case of each letter in the text is altered randomly. On 14 May (the anniversary of Israeli independence day), a message saying "Free Palestine!" will be displayed if the system locale is set to Hebrew.

The virus then rebuilds itself. This metamorphic process is very complex and accounts for around 90% of the virus' code. After the rebuild, the virus searches for executable files in folders on all fixed and remote drives. Files will not be infected if they are located in a subfolder more than three levels deep, or if the folder name begins with the letter W. For each file that is found, there is a 50 percent chance that it will be ignored. Files will not be infected if they begin with F, PA, SC, DR, NO, or if the letter V appears anywhere in the file name. Due to the way in which the name matching is done, file names that contain certain other characters are also not infected, although this part is not deliberate. The virus contains checks to avoid infecting "goat" or "bait" files (files that are created by anti-virus programs). The infection process uses the structure of the host, as well as random factors, to control the placement of the virus body and the decryptor.

Greatest Hits (Lenny Kravitz album)

Greatest Hits is a greatest hits album by American rock musician Lenny Kravitz, released on October 24, 2000.

Background
The album features an unreleased track for promotion called "Again" which became a hit, reaching number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, following a very successful string of hits from the album 5. "Again" propelled the compilation to commercial success greater than any of his studio efforts.

Kravitz reported in an interview for VivaMusic.com that the selection of the songs were led by his record company, Virgin Records, which only chose the songs that were successful on the charts. The tracks were sequenced by Kravitz's engineer, Henry Hirsch.

The album reached number 2 on the Billboard 200 and number 12 on the UK Albums Chart.

This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions.

Promotion
"Again" was released as the promotional single for this compilation, along with a music video. The single reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Kravitz's highest-charting song since "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over".

Reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic commented "Lenny Kravitz's greatest gift is that he's a master synthesist, pulling together different sounds and styles from eras past to create a sound that isn't necessarily blazingly original, but fresh due to his craft and sheer mastery of the studio. Since he was an unabashed classicist, his records often suffered the brunt of nasty criticism, but they were often very good, particularly early in his career before he indulged in the mannerisms of guitar-blasting stadium rock... After all, it doesn't just have all the main songs, it also illustrates that he indeed is a master synthesist."

Japanese edition
The Japan release has the song "Is There Any Love in Your Heart" appended as track 12. The tracks otherwise remained the same.

Greatest Hits: Limited Tour Edition
On November 8, 2005, the album was re-released due to Kravitz's 2005 tour, including the songs "Dig In" and "Where Are We Runnin'?", from his then-latest albums, Lenny and Baptism respectively.

DVD

Personnel

 * Lenny Kravitz – vocals and lead guitar
 * Craig Ross – rhythm guitar
 * Cindy Blackman – drums
 * Tony Breit – bass guitar

San Francisco Conservatory of Music

The San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM) is a private music conservatory in San Francisco, California, United States. As of 2021, it had 480 students.

History
The San Francisco Conservatory of Music was founded in 1917 by Ada Clement and Lillian Hodghead as the Ada Clement Piano School. In 1923, the name was changed to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. In 1956 the Conservatory moved from Sacramento Street to 1201 Ortega Street, the home of a former infant shelter. It resided there for fifty years, before moving to its next location at 50 Oak Street in 2006.

In 2020, the SFCM added the new Bowes Center at 200 Van Ness Avenue (across from Davies Symphony Hall), a 12-story building that includes dorms (eight floors) with acoustic insulation for 400 of its students, 27 rent-controlled apartments for residents of the older building that was replaced by the construction, and some public performing spaces, including a penthouse concert room with views towards the north and west. The Bowes Center's $200 million cost was largely funded by donors, including $46.4 million from the William K. Bowes, Jr. Foundation. The San Francisco Chronicle's architecture critic John King characterized the building's design as "[pushing] against the strict rules of the historic district but [respecting] the air of gravitas. For starters, the building is skinned in translucent glass that conceals insulation and the structural frame — a touch that adds a milky visual depth ..." As of 2021, the Bowes Center was envisaged to fully open to the public in February 2022.

In 2020, SFCM announced a partnership with the talent management company Opus 3 Artists, and in May 2022 it acquired the Dutch classical music label, Pentatone, funded by a private donor. The music website "Classical Voice" described this "combination of a music-education organization with two professional music businesses" as "unusual."

Admissions
SFCM is known for its comprehensive and slightly competitive audition process. Many of the areas needed to enroll feature a "prescreening" round (which consists of essays, video recordings of them playing, transcripts, and for composition majors - portfolio of works), including composition, voice studies, strings, conducting, TAC (technology and applied composition)...etc. A student can be denied or accepted based of the pre-screening results. Once the student is accepted beyond the prescreening round, they are called to San Francisco for a final audition to get to know the faculty, and perform for their chosen major's instructor. Once that is clear, the student is either accepted or denied admission into the conservatory. Some areas of the conservatory are more competitive than others, such as composition [which only admits 8-10 students a year out of hundreds of applicants], and the strings department. The faculty values the applicant's personality and musicianship in the auditions.

User talk:Anan

user:Ramendra is my former account. I am currently asking the change of account.

REASONABLE ASKING from other person

 * Request: Can you please remove this picture which has been uploaded by you on August 2, 2008? --> http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Salawin_river_at_Mae_Sam_Laep.jpg . I originally uploaded this picture on April 23, 2008 to wikipedia. But because of your upload of my picture to commons.wikipedia on August 2, 2008, my original picture is now due to be deleted--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Salawin_river_at_Mae_Sam_Laep.jpg . Would you please refrain from re-uploading other people's pictures? Takeaway 13:19, August 2, 2008 (UTC)

 * If you would like me to move my images to commons.wikipedia, please request me to do so instead of doing so yourself without sending me prior notice. It's no fun noticing that pictures which I have uploaded are in the proces of being deleted without me knowing why. Takeaway 13:35, August 2, 2008 (UTC)

 * I humbly refuse your requrst for uploading files to wikipedia means -except some cases- uploader allowed anyone to use in anyways according to licences that uploader attached. If you would not like your pictures to be used in other places, please do not upload.--Anan (talk) 13:06, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * states that;
 * "free" does not merely mean that you don't charge for it, but it means that you allow everyone to use, alter, and redistribute your work for any purpose. This release is not revocable.
 * if you would like to know.--Anan (talk) 13:22, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

 * 1. Due to your uploading my image to commons.wikipedia and the subsequent deletion of the original file, the picture link on the Sop Moei page will also be deleted.
 * 2. Although you are formally correct that you can re-upload my photo under the GNU license, it would seem to me that it is common courtesy to at least warn someone that their original upload will be deleted due to your actions. It would also seem to be to be common courtesy that you would let the original poster of the photo move the picture to wikipedia.commons. Takeaway 14.32, August 2, 2008 (UTC)

 * About 1., You may just re-link that from commons ;-) For me, it seems to have no problem. About 2., what you think common is not common for someone sometimes. Therefore wikipedia has rules. Could you show me any rules that stipulate what you call "common courtesy"? --Anan (talk) 13:48, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

 * The fact that something is "common courtesy" means that you can not refer to any written rules, it refers to is what is regarded by many people as not being rude. Takeaway 14.56, August 2, 2008 (UTC)

 * I see. If it is not rule, I have need not follow what you said since I am not your humble servant. Then The case closed.
 * By the way something said to be "common" is an interesting topic for a discussion. As far as I know, modifying articles, essays, thesis and so on that others wrote "commonly" need warning to the original writer and his/her permission, outside wikipedia. However, on wikipedia we don't have to do so because of GFDL and now modifying without the permission is "common". On the other hand, someone came to me and asked me to stop distribute his/her pictures in commons in spite of it is very lawfull and "common". In this case, who is really "rude" so far? Maybe the only God knows the answere.
 * Anyway next time, please notice me only when I violate copyright terms. I follow only rules and law. I would not like to discuss what is common or not, more.--Anan (talk) 14:38, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Your action of re-uploading my picture of Mae Sam Laep to commons.wikipedia seems to indicate that you appreciate my picture. It is regrettable that you do not seem to extend that appreciation to the person who made that image and uploaded it. Reading your replies to my initial request and subsequent re-iterations, I now see that in this particular instant (I can not vouch for other instances) where you refuse to acknowledge common courtesy in dealing with other contributors, you are a rude person who hides behind formal rules instead of behaving in a more civilised manner. Takeaway 15.53, August 2, 2008 (UTC)

 * Please do not come to me to talk about furthur discussions. It is true I appreciate your picture but that was for whole wikimedia not for promoting you. Anyway your words to me are against this rule. The person who assert that other is rude on the impulse of the moment -such as "regrettable" that you said- and as a resaut of my refusal does not deserve to talk about "common courtesy".--Anan (talk) 15:09, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

 * You really have exhausted my patience in trying to convince you to behave in a more civilised manner towards other users. I know you are within your rights to do what you did (but doing so would normally also entail re-linking the relevant pages in which the photo appears). I still stand by my statement that you are hiding behind strict wikipedia rules and not abiding by rules of common courtesy. Takeaway 15.19, August 2, 2008 (UTC)

 * I am sorry but my English is very rough because I am not a native. But I think you barely undertand what I said; Please do not come to me to talk about furthur discussions. And next time, please notice me only when I violate copyright terms.
 * BTW, It is funny that you still talk about common courtesy and civilised mannar.--Anan (talk) 15:43, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I have slept for a night and calmed myself. However, my conclusion is that I have no reason to be ordered as if I am your seveant and taught about "common courtesy" as if you are my custodian. It is no fun for me to be dealt in this offensive manner, from the first time you wrote to me. You appriciate your pictures and yourself but you do not extent that appriciation to other users. You have no considerations about how I feel if you wrote in that manner. Please acknowledge the true meaning of "courtesy" and re-think about your attitude towards me and make a good use of this experiance for the next time you ask something to others.--Anan (talk) 05:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

 * What a pity that you immediately took offence from my initial request to remove the picture that you had re-uploaded to commons.wikipedia. I did not mean to offend you at all. I was just very alarmed to see that the file that I had uploaded on April 23 would be deleted due to your re-uploading of it. Wouldn't you be alarmed if someone did that to a photo that you had uploaded for no apparent reason at all? If only you had just contacted me to move all my pictures to commons.wikipedia I would have happily done that myself and saved you the trouble. Unfortunately you took offence to my request and immediately became very sarcastic which of course is very offensive to me. So please rethink the impact of your own actions on others before dismissing that of others so easily. Takeaway 09.33, August 3, 2008 (UTC)

If you had removed all the text from your talk page instead of just the part that didn't suit you, I would not have bothered to undo it. Takeaway 10.35, August 3, 2008 (UTC)

 * Your words are right to everything. If you would not like me to delete your massages, I will revert to how you want to be. Your contributes around August 2nd, 3rd are almost on my matter, which makes me think you are stalking me. So please release me from you. Otherwise I will be mentally ill. I believe you are not so evil that you make sick. Please, please please do not come again.--Anan (talk) 11:57, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Now you accuse me of maybe being evil! Can't you just stop accusing people and taking offence at requests of undoing what you did? And your accusations of me stalking you have been neatly removed again together with me reply that I am not stalking you at all, if anything, your following me to the help desk page can be considered you stalking me!
 * I think it would be better to remove "all the text" on this whole matter in your talk page like I suggested to you twice before and not including additional remarks like "stalking", "evil" and accusing me of wanting you to to become ill. Please stop accusing me of things which I do not do and I will stop responding to them! Takeaway 12.31, August 3, 2008 (UTC)

 * Your heading of this section "Offensive order from another person" is only how you have viewed my request. I did not order anything, I asked you something. It was you who became offensive by your sarcastic remarks. Takeaway 12.33, August 3, 2008 (UTC)

 * I am sorry for everything that I did to you.--Anan (talk) 12:50, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Groot Marico

Groot Marico is a hamlet on the N4 road in the North West Province of South Africa. The economy relies heavily on agriculture, mining and tourism. Groot Marico is named after the Marico River.

Description
The topography comprises dry bushveld with a climate that is ideal for cattle, maize, citrus fruit and tobacco. Open pit quarries in the area extract marble, slate and andalusite, with prospects of large-scale nickel mining on the banks of the Groot Marico river as well as the majority of the farms surrounding the hamlet having sparked a successful regional petition against such development. In 2016 a new diamond prospecting application was initiated, bringing a new round of local community objections and petitioning.

The town was formed by the Voortrekkers in the 1850s and was only proclaimed in 1948.

The word "Marico" was made famous in South Africa by Herman Charles Bosman's writings of this area and later re-enactments of these tales by actor Patrick Mynhardt. Bosman described the area thus: There is no other place I know that is so heavy with atmosphere, so strangely and darkly impregnated with that stuff of life that bears the authentic stamp of South Africa

At least part of Bosman's musings may have been inspired by sips of the mampoer for which Groot Marico is infamous.

In 2010, the farms surrounding Groot Marico were among the last in South Africa to still be connected through party lines to a manual telephone exchange, which require callers to ask an operator to connect them to other telephone lines by pushing jacks into slots.

Groot Marico is the smallest town in South Africa that host an annual arts festival as well as a mountain bike race.

Lyrical Content
This section really needs to be worked on. It reads like a laundry list of songs. Intrinsical (talk) 19:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Can we confirm the statement: "Slug maintains the allegorical stance from previous records in songs such as "Your Glasshouse" which deals with his emotions towards the war in Iraq using the guise of a person waking up from a hangover." There is no reference and I've done my research and can't find anything on this.

HOLY CRAP, biased
I mean, it is impossible to find an article on Wikipedia nowadays for music groups and artists that is written with no bias, but holy balls, this is ridiculous. Stuff like,

"Atmosphere hit the road harder than ever in 2001 with three separate tours straddling North America and Europe (Ford Two Tour, Who Killed The Robots Tour and Fill In The Blanks Tour; the latter being Mr. Dibbs's first outing as their tour DJ).[4] With Lucy Ford, Atmosphere finally achieved national distribution through independent distributor Fat Beats."

sounds like it is written by an Atmosphere fan boy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.147.251.22 (talk) 18:56, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Where's the bias? I see emotive descriptions eg. "hit the road harder than ever in 2001" - But this is a feature common of Music journalism. Now you might say that Wikipedia isn't a music journal, it's an encyclopedia. That is, it is meant to be a public synthesis of facts and so it's objective is to exclude subjectivity and opinion and to this point I do not disagree, but the author(s) of the article has obviously made an honest attempt at presenting information and facts on 'Atmosphere.' Naturally there is something wanting, they're obviously not perfect (like you?).

Is it written by a "fan-boy"? Absolutely, who were you expecting to write a page on Atmosphere - A disinterested PhD candidate? Furthermore, the only people likely to read this page are those who have an interest in Atmosphere. Yes the article needs improving, but I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. I'm sorry for the ad hominem argument, but you need to cool off, it's just a wikipedia entry for a fairly unknown music group, and if we examine the surrounding country side, it's not a bad article by any stretch of the imagination. 60.234.251.185 (talk) 03:28, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Jacob Ford Kent

Jacob Ford Kent (September 14, 1835 – December 22, 1918) was an American general during the Spanish–American War. Kent also served in the Union army during the American Civil War.

Early life and the American Civil War
Kent was born in 1835 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Rodolphus Kent and Sarah Deily. His Great-Great-Grandfather was Col. Jacob Ford, of Morristown, NJ (whose home was General George Washington's headquarters 1779–80). He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point. He graduated in 1861 and served in the Union army during the Civil War. He was first appointed to the 3rd U.S. Infantry in 1861 and later transferred to staff duty as an assistant inspector general in 1863. Kent won brevet promotions during the war for "gallant and meritorious service" at the battles of Marye's Heights, Spotsylvania and Petersburg. He ended the war as a brevet colonel assistant inspector general.

Indian Wars
Following the Civil War Kent returned to field duty with the 3rd U.S. Infantry with the rank of captain. He served on the frontier in Montana, Colorado and Nebraska. In 1885 Kent was promoted to major of the 4th U.S. Infantry and stationed at Fort Omaha. While he was posted in Nebraska the Ghost Dance War took place culminating in the Wounded Knee Massacre. Major Kent and Captain Frank D. Baldwin were placed in charge of charge of the Wounded Knee investigation by Major General Nelson A. Miles.

Spanish–American War and later life
When war with Spain began in May 1898, Kent was appointed brigadier general of volunteers and assumed command of the First Division of the Fifth Army Corps, destined for Cuba. His forces landed at Daiquirí and at the Battle of San Juan Hill his division led the main attack on San Juan Hill while the Rough Riders led the attack on nearby Kettle Hill. Kent's division sustained heavy casualties during the assault: Hamilton S. Hawkins, commanding the First Brigade, was severely wounded and Colonel Charles A. Wikoff, commanding the Third Brigade, was killed; within half an hour, three more officers were to assume command of the latter brigade. However U.S. forces took the heights and Kent's division participated in the subsequent Siege of Santiago. He was appointed brigadier general in the Regular Army in October, 1898. He was transferred to the Philippines where he briefly served before he retired late in 1898. Kent died in 1918.

James Gobbo

Sir James Augustine Gobbo, (22 March 1931 – 7 November 2021) was an Australian jurist who served as the 25th Governor of Victoria, from 1997 to 2000.

Family and early life
James Gobbo was born in Carlton, Victoria, on 22 March 1931, to Italian parents Antonio and Regina. In March 1935 the family returned to Cittadella, Padua, Italy, where a sister, Natalina, was born shortly after. Three years later the family, which also included a brother, Flavio, arrived back in Australia to take up permanent residency in North Melbourne, Victoria. Gobbo, then aged seven, spoke no English at the time of his return. His father, who had started a café, felt the time was right for him to receive a Catholic education.

Gobbo's early schooling included St Mary's Primary School, West Melbourne and later St Joseph's CBC, North Melbourne. In 1944 he was accepted into Xavier College. He was a member of the Xavier College crew that won the 1948 Associated Public Schools Head of the River. After leaving Xavier College, he studied law at the University of Melbourne, where he lived at Newman College. In 1951 he was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, following which he attained a Master of Arts degree at Magdalen College, University of Oxford.

In 1957 Gobbo married former librarian Shirley Lewis, and had five children. His son, James Gobbo Jr., was the Liberal candidate for the district of Bentleigh in the 2006 Victorian state election.

Judicial career
After many years as a barrister and later as a Queen's Counsel, Gobbo was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria. He served from 18 July 1978 until he retired from the bench on 14 February 1994.

Vice-regal career
Gobbo served as Lieutenant-Governor of Victoria from 1995 until he was appointed Governor of Victoria in 1997 by Queen Elizabeth II on the advice of the Victorian premier, Jeff Kennett. He was the first Australian state governor of Italian descent.

Gobbo's term of office was to be shorter than the usual five years, due to the uncertain outcome of the looming 1999 Australian republic referendum. If a republic had come into effect, then the governorship of Victoria would have been abolished from 1 January 2001. In August 2000 the new premier, Steve Bracks, announced that Gobbo's successor would be John Landy, who would take up his post in January 2001. Gobbo immediately made it known that he had had an understanding with Kennett for an extension of his term beyond 2000, and expressed deep disappointment that this was not now to occur. However, this understanding must have been private, since Kennett's letter of appointment stated that any extension beyond 31 December 2000 would be a matter for the premier of the day. Bracks said that he had no knowledge of any such understanding.

After leaving office, Gobbo took up the position of Commissioner for Italy for the Victorian government until June 2006, and continued on various boards and councils.

In 2006, Gobbo was the Chair of the Council of the National Library of Australia, the Council of the Order of Australia and Chair of the Australian Multicultural Foundation.

Honours
Gobbo was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the 1982 New Year Honours; a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) in 1993; and a Knight of Grace of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in 1997. He was awarded the Centenary Medal in 2001 and was also a Knight of Malta.

Death
Gobbo died on 7 November 2021 at the age of 90.

Could you please spare a moment to look at the Finchley Lido article. This state was an horrible mixture of fact and fiction.

Also, since you don't spend half your life on Wikipedia as some people do, please set up an e-mail address in "my preferences" so people can prod you easily. Or perhaps you don't want that!

Georgina Russell
This individual ran for governor during the California special election as part of the 2003_California_recall (which ultimately resulted in the stated being terminated). Out of 8,000,000 votes, Georgina Russell received 2,000; this works out to be about %0.025 of the vote, if my math lessons serve me right. Are all people who run for public office noteworthy enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, regardless of the outcome? GRider\talk 17:24, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC) *Keep, media notable. JamesBurns 11:19, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC) --Archier 05:10, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep also on cover of USA today INTERNATIONAL edition and National edition

 * Keep She got more than one article, try 100. Check out her website where you can see she was covered in Germany. She also was one of the first to throw her hat in the ring.  And the recall wasn't a "minor" election, as InShaneee suggests.
 * Unsigned by 67.115.111.59 at 16:56, Feb 28, 2005; user's second edit. —Korath (Talk) 03:24, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. There was a Slashdot Interview, probably that's why this article was created. :-) Bogdan | Talk 17:29, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - some very minor candidates could be notable - for example, if they had a substantial impact on the race, or were otherwise unique in some way. The article presents absolutely no evidence that this was the case here.  CDC   (talk)  18:02, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * More than 100 people ran for governor then. I think the major candidates, and those few who were already famous deserve articles, but gathering 65 signatures and paying $3500 does not make one notable. Nor does an interview at Slashdot (pay attention, Slashdot trolls). Delete. -R. fiend 18:24, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. She was one of the few minor candidates to recieve media attention outside of California. --Carnildo 20:58, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete So now you don't even need to win a minor election to be noteworthy? --InShaneee 21:39, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, and expand. Megan1967 23:58, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Being from California, every minor candidate was given at least one interview by a local paper, web site or TV station. Zzyzx11 01:38, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Minor party candidates, and/or those with no chance of winning, must present other evidence of notability that is not given here. Meelar (talk) 02:36, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Concur with Meelar. Delete Radiant! 12:27, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Keep information, but merge with 2003 California recall. She deserves a full paragraph, but probably not a full article. EggplantWizard 02:41, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to 2003 California recall; it's mostly there already. If anything is broken out of the article (which is admittedly fairly long), it should be the list of candidates as a whole. —Korath (Talk) 14:12, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Over 16,000 google hits, on cover of major newspapers, appeared on nationwide networks (at the least NBC). After Arnold and Gray Davis she was the first, as far as I can tell, to join the race.   This isn't some high schooler that is promoting herself and there is no precedent for deleting this.   Review [|What Wikipedia is Not] and search for the bullet this falls under
 * Only 848 google hits, not 18,000. Bogdan | Talk 18:53, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually 6,480 Bogdan | Talk 18:58, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Probably more like 4,080. We could go on like this for days, you know. sjorford →•← 16:00, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
