What is a minor edit?
I welcome your contribution in simplifying a paragraph that I originally wrote. You prompted me to go back and do a better job with that paragraph. But when you do edit, anything that changes meaning or deletes material is not a minor edit. Please be sure to check "minor edit" only when the editing you do really is minor. --Metzenberg 09:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Vyatichi

The Vyatichs or more properly Vyatichi or Viatichi (вя́тичи) were a native tribe of Early Slavs, whose affiliation to the Western or Eastern Slavs remains a subject of debate in science. They inhabited regions around the Oka, Moskva and Don rivers.

The Vyatichi had for a long time no princes, but the social structure was characterized by democracy and self-government. Like various other Slavic tribes, the Vyatichi people built kurgans on territory which belongs now to the modern Russian state. The 12th-century Primary Chronicle recorded that the Vyatichi, Radimichs and Severians "had the same customs", all lived violent lifestyles, "burned their dead and preserved the ashes in urns set upon posts beside the highways", and they did not enter monogamous marriages but practiced polygamy, specifically polygyny, instead.

The Primary Chronicle names a certain tribal leader Vyatko as the forefather of the tribe, who was a Lyakh brother of Radim from whom emerged the Radimichs. The Vyatichi were mainly engaged in farming and cattle-breeding. Between the 9th and 10th centuries, the Vyatichi paid tribute to the Khazars and later to Kievan princes. The tribe, however, was constantly trying to defend its own political independence until the early 12th century. By the 11th century, the Vyatichi had already populated the Moskva basin and the area of today's Moscow. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the tribe founded a number of cities due to developing handicrafts and increasing trade, including Moscow, Koltesk, Dedoslav, Nerinsk and others. In the second half of the 12th century the land of the Vyatichi was distributed among the princes of Suzdal and Chernigov. The last direct reference to the Vyatichi was made in a chronicle under the year of 1197. Indirect references, however, may be traced to the early 14th century.

Saint Kuksha of the Kiev Caves was a missionary who converted many Vyatichi to Christianity (in 1115), being beheaded by their chiefs August 27 ca. 1115.

There are numerous archeological monuments in Moscow that tell historians about the Vyatichi. Their fortified settlements of the 11th century were located in the historical center of today's Moscow, namely the Borovitsky Hill, Kolomenskoye (the spot of the former Diakovskoye village), Kuntsevo (a district of Moscow) and others. One may also find traces of Vyatich settlements in Brateyevo, Zyuzino, Alyoshkino, Matveyevskoye and other localities of Moscow. Burial mounds with cremated bodies have been found along the upper reaches of the Oka and Don.

The Napoleon of Notting Hill

The Napoleon of Notting Hill is a novel written by G. K. Chesterton in 1904, set in a nearly unchanged London in 1984.

Although the novel is set in the future, it is, in effect, set in an alternative reality of Chesterton's own period, with no advances in technology nor changes in the class system or attitudes of the time. It postulates an impersonal government, not described in any detail, but apparently content to operate through a figurehead king, who is randomly chosen.

Synopsis
The dreary succession of randomly selected Kings of England is broken up when Auberon Quin, who cares for nothing but a good joke, is chosen. To amuse himself, he institutes elaborate costumes for the provosts of the districts of London. All are bored by the King's antics except for one earnest young man who takes the cry for regional pride seriously – Adam Wayne, the eponymous Napoleon of Notting Hill.

Influence
Michael Collins, who led the fight for Ireland's secession from the United Kingdom, is known to have admired the book. There has been speculation that the setting of the book prompted the date chosen for the setting of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four; the Japanese translation of the book, the cover of which was illustrated by Hayao Miyazaki, bore the primary title Chesterton's 1984. The novel is also quoted at the start of Neil Gaiman's novel Neverwhere.

Both this novel and Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday are referenced in the 2000 video game Deus Ex.

Kansai Airport Station

Kansai Airport Station (関西空港駅) is a ground level passenger railway station shared by Nankai Electric Railway and West Japan Railway Company (JR West) located at Kansai International Airport in the town of Tajiri, Sennan District, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The northern end of the platforms extends into the city of Izumisano.

Layout
The station has two island platforms, serving two tracks for each railway company. Each railway line concourse also has three elevators for the convenience of passengers traveling with bulky baggage.

Platforms

 * Nankai Rapi:t airport limited express trains depart mainly from Track 2.
 * Kansai Airport Limited Express Haruka trains depart mainly from Track 4.

History
The station opened on June 15, 1994, two and a half months before the opening of the airport. During this initial period, the station was open to the public; however only airport employees and related personnel were allowed to leave the station concourse (a similar situation to Umi-Shibaura Station in Tokyo).

Since the mid-2000s, there have been plans to link Kansai Airport Station and central Osaka by a new underground railway line tentatively called the Naniwasuji Line, which would run between Namba and Shin-Osaka. In 2010, government calculations indicated that the new line would reduce travel time from Umeda to Kansai Airport to as little as 41 minutes, versus the current 56–68 minutes. The station is also one of the proposed terminals for the high-speed Hokuriku Shinkansen line.

Station numbering was introduced to the JR Kansai Airport Line in March 2018 with Kansai Airport being assigned station number JR-S47.

The station was closed on 4 September 2018 due to the effects of Typhoon Jebi causing flooding around the airport complex and the Sky Gate Bridge R being damaged by an empty fuel tanker. It was reopened on 18 September 2018 following the resumption of train services to the airport.

Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2019, the JR West portion of the station was used by an average of 14,360 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), while the Nankai portion of the station was used by an average of 16,698 passengers daily during the same period..

William H. Keeler

William Henry Keeler (March 4, 1931 – March 23, 2017) was an American cardinal of the Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Baltimore, Maryland, from 1989 to 2007 and was elevated to the College of Cardinals in 1994. He previously served as Auxiliary Bishop and Bishop of the Diocese of Harrisburg. Keeler was President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops from 1992 to 1995.

As Archbishop of Baltimore, Keeler was known for his failure to take action against priests who had been accused of inappropriate conduct, which significantly damaged his reputation. Keeler also led a restoration of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, one of two cathedrals in the archdiocese and the oldest in the United States, which was completely repaired and restored to near its original appearance by 2006. Keeler was also recognized for forming strong relationships with people from other religious groups, particularly those of the Jewish and Protestant faiths. Despite his failure to take action against priests who were accused of inappropriate conduct, Keeler was also noted for his response to the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church, choosing to publish the names of 57 priests who had been "credibly accused of child abuse" in 2002.

Early life
William Keeler was born on March 4, 1931, in San Antonio, Texas, to Thomas Love and Margaret (née Conway) Keeler. One of five children, Lawrence Keeler was of mixed Irish, Alsatian, and Scottish ancestry. Margaret Keeler, the daughter of an Illinois farmer, was a schoolteacher. Thomas Love was a steel-casting salesman.

Shortly after Keeler's birth, the family moved to Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Keeler attended the St. Mary School and Lebanon Catholic High School. He joined the Boy Scouts of America and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.

Deciding to become a priest, Keeler entered St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in 1952. The Diocese of Harrisburg then sent him to study at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.

Priesthood
While he was in Rome, Keeler was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Harrisburg on July 17, 1955, by Archbishop Luigi Traglia. Keeler received a Licentiate of Sacred Theology (1956) and a Doctor of Canon Law (1961) from the Gregorian. After returning to Harrisburg in 1961, the diocese assigned him to pastoral and curial work.

With the start of the first session of the Second Vatican Council, Keeler accompanied peritus, or expert, and secretary to Bishop George L. Leech to Rome. Keeler attended all four sessions of the Council, from 1962 to 1965. Keeler worked for the Council Digest, a communications service used to bring news of the Council sessions to American Catholics.

Auxiliary Bishop and Bishop of Harrisburg
On July 24, 1979, Pope John Paul II appointed Keeler as auxiliary bishop of Harrisburg and titular bishop of Ulcinium. He received his episcopal consecration on September 21, 1979, at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania from Bishop Joseph Thomas Daley, with Bishops Francis Gossman and Martin Lohmuller serving as co-consecrators. Keeler took as his episcopal motto: Opus Fac Evangelistae ("Do the Work of an Evangelist").

John Paul II appointed Keeler as the seventh bishop of Harrisburg on November 10, 1983, succeeding Daley. Keeler was installed on January 4, 1984, in the Cathedral of St. Patrick. As bishop of Harrisburg, Keeler served on committees for interreligious dialogue and helped expand diocesan youth ministry.

1989 to 2000
John Paul II named Keeler as the fourteenth archbishop of Baltimore on April 11, 1989, following the retirement of Archbishop William Borders. Keeler was installed in Baltimore on May 23, 1989. He was elected president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in November 1992 for a three-year term.

In 1993, Dontee D. Stokes reported to the archdiocese that he had been fondled over a three year period as a minor by Reverend Maurice Blackwell, pastor of St. Edward Parish in West Baltimore. Keeler then sent Blackwell to the Institute of Living in Hartford, Connecticut, for psychological evaluation and therapy. After three months, Keeler reinstated Blackwell as pastor of St. Edward in Baltimore, overruling a lay panel recommendation.

While USCCB president, Keeler helped to organize the 1993 World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado. He helped facilitate John Paul II's 1995 papal visit to Baltimore. At that time, journalist Bill Broadway of The Washington Post called Keeler "one of the most respected Catholic leaders in the United States."

John Paul II created Keeler as cardinal-priest of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri in a consistory on November 26, 1994. That same year, the pope named him a member of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.

2000 to 2006
From 1998 to 2001 and again from late 2003 to 2006, Keeler served as chair for the Committee on Pro-Life Activities. Keeler participated in the 2005 conclave in Rome that elected Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI.

When The Boston Globe in 2002 began breaking the sexual abuse scandal in the Archdiocese of Boston, Keeler's first response was to resist the media "feeding frenzy." Several cardinals commented publicly about the issue before Keeler. Psychotherapist Richard Sipe stated that Keeler was "probably one of the most politically savvy of all the cardinals in the country. He plays things safe and is very concerned about avoiding any scandal."

Keeler, however, became the first bishop to identify publicly priests who had been "credibly accused of child abuse," listing 57 on the archdiocese website and detailing $5.6 million spent on settlements, legal fees and counseling. Keeler called for addressing the scandal "with humble contrition, righteous anger and public outrage. Telling the truth cannot be wrong." While victims and their advocates praised him and other bishops followed his lead, "defenders of the church criticized him and the other bishops as having betrayed the priests in their dioceses," according to The New York Times. '"I think Cardinal Keeler has taken a very bold and courageous and pastorally sensitive approach," said Bishop Wilton Gregory, President of the USCCB, at the time.

In May 2002, Stokes encountered Blackwell by accident on a street in Baltimore. Blackwell had been suspended from ministry since 1998 after accusations of sexual abuse of another minor had surfaced. After a brief conversation Stokes shot and wounded Blackwell, then turned himself in at a local church. Stokes was acquitted of all charges in December 2002. Blackwell was convicted of molesting Stokes in February 2005, but the verdict was overturned on appeal in July of that year.

Keeler was responsible for the restoration of Baltimore's Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, America's first cathedral. The $32 million for the project was raised from private donations. Construction lasted from 2004 until November 2006. The project was finished in time for the 200th anniversary of the cathedral's groundbreaking.

Retirement and legacy
In April 2006, Keeler, after reaching age 75, Keeler submitted his resignation as archbishop of Baltimore to the pope as required by church law. It was accepted by Pope Benedict XVI on July 12, 2007. On March 23, 2017, Keeler died at age 86 in his residence at St. Martin's Home for the Aged, run by the Little Sisters of the Poor, in Catonsville, Maryland. He had been ill for several years.

On August 1, 2018, Bishop Ronald Gainer of Harrisburg announced that he was removing Keeler's name from any building or room in the diocese due to Keeler's failure to protect victims from abuse. On August 14, 2018, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court released a report that alleged Keeler committed criminal inaction during his time as bishop of Harrisburg.

The grand jury report stated that Keeler learned in 1987 of allegations of sexual abuse against Father Arthur Long. A church memo written in 1995, the year that Long was removed from ministry, revealed that accusations of "inappropriate behavior" had surfaced against Long in 1991 and 1992 during his time in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Immediately after the release of the Pennsylvania grand jury report, the Archdiocese of Baltimore in August 2018 cancelled plans to name a new Catholic school after Keeler due to his handling of the Long accusations.

Stem cell research
Keeler mourned the death of Terri Schiavo, calling it a "human tragedy." Schiavo was a woman in a persistent vegetative state who died in 2005, thirteen days after doctors removed her feeding tube at the request of Schiavo's husband.

Abortion
The Baltimore Sun called him "a leading national voice" against abortion rights for women.

Ecumenism
When John Paul II visited the United States in 1987, Keeler helped arrange his meetings with Jewish leaders in Miami, Florida and Protestant leaders in Columbia, South Carolina. However, Jewish leaders threatened to boycott the Miami meeting because John Paul II had recently met with former U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim. It had been recently revealed that Waldheim had previous connections to Nazi Germany. After Keeler intervened, the Jewish leaders agreed to attend the meeting.

On November 18, 2005, at the annual general assembly of the National Council of Churches, Keeler reassured delegates that the Catholic Church and Pope Benedict XVI were firmly ecumenical.

Suicide in the Trenches

"Suicide in the Trenches" is one of the many poems the English poet Siegfried Sassoon (1886–1967) composed in response to World War I, reflecting his own notable service in that especially bloody conflict. Sassoon was a brave and gallant upper-class officer who eventually opposed the war, but he never lost his admiration for the common soldiers who had to fight it. Sassoon felt contempt for the political leaders and civilian war hawks who, safe in their power and comfort, sent young men off to die in huge battles that seemed futile and pointless. It was first published 23 February 1918 in Cambridge Magazine, then in Sassoon's collection: Counter-Attack and Other Poems. The poem is written in iambic tetrameter and consists of twelve lines in three stanzas.

The poem exemplifies the sensibility of war poets in "avoid[ing] sentimentality and self-pity while describing the realities of war". It tells of the suicide of a young man sent off to war and attacks the "'smug-faced' crowds who greet the returning soldiers". This is one of the poems referenced when Copp states, "It was with poems like these that Sassoon, more than any other trench poet writing in English, brought home to an uninformed public the true reality of the ghastly nature of the war."

Cultural references
In 2009, Brian Blessed read the poem within the song "Army of the Damned", part of the album Beneath the Veiled Embrace by the band Pythia.

The English rock star Pete Doherty set this poem to music and performs it sometimes during live performances. He also recited it along with his partner Carl Barât during the 2004 NME Awards with his band The Libertines.

In Nathaniel Ian Miller's novel The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven, the main character believes the poem has the "subtlety of a broad-axe".

Alice Winn's novel In Memoriam drew on the poem for inspiration of a character's suicide in the trenches of WWI.

Finbar of Cork

Saint Finbar, Finbarr, Finnbar, or Finnbarr, in Irish Fionnbharra, very often abbreviated to Barra, (c. 550–25 September 623) was Bishop of Cork and abbot of a monastery in what is now the city of Cork, Ireland. He is patron saint of the city and of the Diocese of Cork. His feast day is 25 September.

Life

Having lived in Templemartin, which is near Bandon and originally named Lóchán (modern form, Loan), he was the son of Amergin of Maigh Seóla, a skilled craftsman originally from Galway. He studied in Ossory, corresponding approximately to the present County Kilkenny. He was renamed "Fionnbharra" (Fairhead in Irish), reportedly when, on being tonsured, the presiding cleric remarked: "Is fionn barr (find barr, in the Irish of the time) Lócháin", meaning, "Fair is the crest of Loan"), and he then became known as "Findbarr" ("Fionnbarra" in modern Irish). He went on pilgrimage to Rome with some of the monks, visiting St David in Wales on the way back.

On completion of his education he returned home and lived for some time on an island in the small lake, then called Loch Irce. The island is now called Gougane Barra (the little rock-fissure of Finnbarr). He is reputed to have built small churches in various other places, including one in Ballineadig, County Cork, called Cell na Cluaine, anglicised as Cellnaclona and sometimes referred to as Cloyne, causing it to be confused with Cloyne (Cluain Uamha) in east Cork.

He settled for about the last seventeen years of his life in the area then known as Corcach Mór na Mumhan (the Great Marsh of Munster), now the city of Cork, where he gathered around him monks and students. This became an important centre of learning, giving rise to the phrase Ionad Bairre Sgoil na Mumhan. "Where Finbar taught let Munster learn", is the motto of today's University College Cork in English, though this is not a translation of the Irish motto "Ionad Bairre Sgoil na Mumhan" which means "Finbarr's foundation, the School of Munster".

The church and monastery he founded in 606 were on a limestone cliff above the River Lee, an area now known as Gill Abbey, after a 12th-century Bishop of Cork, Giolla Aedha Ó Muidhin. It continued to be the site of the cathedral of his diocese. The present building on the site, owned by the Church of Ireland, is called Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral. The people of Cork often refer to the nearby Catholic church, also dedicated to St Finbar, in Dunbar Street in the South Parish as 'the South Chapel', distinguishing it from the North Cathedral, the Catholic Cathedral of Saint Mary and Saint Anne, sometimes called 'the North Chapel'.

Finbar died at Cell na Cluaine, while returning from a visit to Gougane Barra. He was buried in the cemetery attached to his church in Cork.

Legacy
There are at least six St. Finbar's schools in England, Chelsea, and Australia – at Ashgrove, Byron Bay, Invermay, Tasmania, Sans Souci (South Sydney, spelt St Finbar), East Brighton (Melbourne), Quilpie (South West Queensland), and Glenbrook, in the Blue Mountains. There is a St. Finbarr's school in Lagos, Nigeria. There is also a St. Finn Barr school and church in San Francisco, California. There is a parish & school named for the saint in Burbank, California. The original cathedral of the Diocese of Charleston, South Carolina, in the United States was named in honour of St. Finbar and remained standing until the Great Fire of Charleston during the Civil War. It is believed to have been named so because John England, the first bishop of Charleston, was originally from the County Cork and was consecrated a bishop in Saint Fin Barre's Church before travelling to the United States. In Coventry, England, St Finbarr's Social Club was named in honour of the saint during the late 1980's attracting large numbers from an Irish background to socialise. Upon demolition in 2006, a new housing scheme was completed in 2008 on the same site with the road name of Finbarr Close.

Other Saint Finbars
There are five Irish saints named Finnbarr. One scholar has theorized that the Cork saint is identical with Finnian of Moville, a teacher of Colm Cille.

Scotland has place names that refer to Saint Finnbarr, perhaps due to devotion to him having been carried there by disciples. One such place is the Gaelic-speaking island of Barra, where there is a ruined church called Cille Bharra (Church of Finnbarr). Tradition identifies that Finnbarr with the Cork saint, but it has been argued that he was Scottish.

Attila Richard Lukacs

Attila Richard Lukács (born 1962) is a Canadian artist.

Lukács gained international attention via his E-werk series—a collection of very large figure paintings that he created in the 1980s and 90s, while living in Berlin.

The paintings featured nude and semi-nude skinheads, who were depicted in heroic and classical poses in chiaroscuro, reminiscent of Renaissance art. The paintings were considered provocative due to their depictions of homosexuality, sadomasochism and fascistic symbolism.

Biography
Lukács was born in Edmonton, Alberta and grew up in Calgary. He is the second of three sons born to Joseph and Helen Lukács. His parents fled Hungary in 1956. His father worked as a petroleum engineer.

Having shown an interest in art since he was a young child, Lukács was encouraged by his father to apply to the fine arts program at the University of Victoria. Lukács did not enjoy his time at the university and enrolled at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver in 1983. Later that same year he had his first solo exhibition titled Prime Cuts, held at the Unit/Pitt Gallery in Vancouver. As described by Tom Barrett of the Vancouver Sun: "The front of the gallery was fixed up to imitate a butcher shop. Inside, thick paintings of raw, red hunks of meat hung from the walls."

In 1984, Lukács took part in Futura Bold, a joint exhibition with fellow Emily Carr attendees Angela Grossmann, Graham Gillmore and Derek Root. The following year the four artists' work, along with four other artists, was displayed at the Vancouver Art Gallery under the name Young Romantics.

Lukács graduated from Emily Carr in 1985 and moved to Berlin the following year. While living in Berlin, Lukács had a studio residency at the, an old hospital that was converted into a collection of artist studio spaces. During this time he became interested in the skinhead subculture and used skinheads as models for his paintings, eventually socializing with and dressing like them. In a 1988 interview with Canadian Art magazine, Lukács said: "I definitely do not consider myself an official member of that society. I'm more like a voyeur."

Lukács work during his stay in Berlin was considered provocative because many of his paintings featured homoerotic and sadomasochistic motifs, mixed with military and fascistic symbolism. He drew inspiration in part from his childhood fascination with military cadets and memories of poring over military catalogues after having asked his father to send him to military school.

Lukács first exhibited his E-werk series in 1994, which consisted of six massive canvases that he had been created since 1986. The collection got its name from Lukacs' favourite Berlin nightclub (whose name is in turn the abbreviation of the German expression for a power plant.) The paintings depicted male figures in various poses, both classical and at times erotic, who also embody neo-Nazi esthetics and symbology, such as shaven heads, Doc Marten boots, bomber jackets, tattoos and swastikas. The collection garnered Lukács international attention and praise.

Lukács moved to New York in 1996 and held several shows at the Phyllis Kind Gallery. His 1999 exhibition, Arbor Vitae, featured a series of thirteen black-on-white renditions of a single tree and marked a dramatic departure from the style of his earlier works. Lukács did not find the success that he had hoped for on the New York art scene and suffered from a worsening addiction to methamphetamine. He left New York for Maui in 2001 to recover. While there, much of his work focused on paintings of flowers.

Lukács returned to Canada in late 2002. Drawing Out the Demons, a biographical documentary film about the artist was released in 2004. The film was nominated for two Gemini awards the following year in the categories of Best Direction in a Documentary Program, for director David Vaisbord, and Best Performing Arts Program or Series or Arts Documentary Program or Series, for producers Trish Dolman and Stephanie Symns. The documentary opens in the summer of 2001 and documents Lukács' journey from New York to addiction recovery in Maui, then on to Calgary and back to Vancouver.

The photographic exhibition Attila Polaroids: Attila Richard Lukács and Michael Morris premiered in 2008. It featured over 3,000 Polaroids taken by Lukács of the studio models that were used as figure studies for his paintings while living in Berlin and New York between 1986 and 1996. The collection was curated by artist Michael Morris, whose monograph accompanied the photographs on exhibition.

In the mid to late 2010s, Lukács' paintings were featured in the exhibitions Drama Queer: seducing social change and About Face: Stonewall, Revolt and New Queer Art, curated by American art historian Jonathan David Katz.

Artistic style
Lukács' work of the 1980s and 90s featured very large canvasses with thick applications of oil paint, along with other textural media such as tar, feathers, and gold leaf. Some of these canvasses were in the range of 13 feet high. The heroic and classical themes present in his work during his time in Berlin—along with his use of bold lighting, or chiaroscuro, to highlight the male form—prompted comparisons of Lukács' work to that of Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Goya.

His 1999 series, Arbor Vitae, featured a collection of black-on-white paintings of a single tree from a variety of perspectives. The paintings were a departure from his Berlin works and were based on the photographic work of Alexander Rodchenko, who was known for pointing his camera sharply downward or upwards when capturing subjects. In addition to his use of oil paint and tar, these paintings also featured applications of varathane and roofing cement.

His series Myths About my Garden from 1999 and Of Monkeys and Men from 2003 were both painted in a style influenced by Persian miniature and Indian miniature painting.

In the 2010s Lukács began producing more abstract paintings as well as sculptural and installation artworks.

Accolades
In 1990, Pamela Young of Maclean's magazine called Lukács "the most renowned Canadian artist of the under-30 generation."

In 1996, Michael Scott of the Vancouver Sun said of the E-werk collection: "Without a doubt, they establish Lukács as one of the three or four most important artists Canada has produced in the past 50 years."

In her 1999 book Canadian Art in the Twentieth Century, Canadian art historian Joan Murray described Lukács as "an important painter in Canada."

American art historian Jonathan David Katz has referred to Lukács as "one of the world’s greatest living artists."

Lukács' commentary on the homoerotic label
Journalists and critics have used the word homoerotic to described Lukács' art, particularly in reference to his paintings of the 1980s and 90s. Lukács commented on this descriptor in a 1988 interview with Canadian Art magazine: "I hate the term homo-erotic. It's a 19th-century or Victorian English term. As soon as you see a male nude in a painting, it's termed homo-erotic, but when you see a female nude in painting, it's never referred to as hetero-erotic. In my earlier works, like one of the big paintings shown at Mercer Union in Toronto, there was a definite so-called homo-erotic content. In the newer work I don't deal with that; what I'm trying to do now is deal with the male nude in the way classical nudes have always been dealt with—they don't have to have those sexual implications." In a 1992 interview with Robert Enright of Border Crossings magazine, he said: "I've never really tried to play an important role in gay culture. As a matter of fact, I always used to steer people away from interpreting the painting as homoerotic because they were just normal to me. I expected people to see that. But in a funny way it is gotten important to me now." Lukács said in a 2016 interview with the Vancouver Courier: "I think the idea of doing the gay subject matter and skinheads [was] to make people deal with it. Remember, it was when Reagan was denying AIDS. [This said], 'We exist and you have to deal with us,' and putting it in front of people’s faces in an art-historical context was a way for them to swallow it."

Collections
Lukács' work has been collected by institutions such as the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Vancouver Art Gallery. One of Lukacs' paintings is included in the Crown Collection, which consists of furniture, artwork, and decorative items used to furnish and decorate Canada's official residences.

Private collectors of his work include musician Elton John, film director Fred Schepisi and Canadian entrepreneur Salah Bachir.

 * The Juilliard position would count as "responsible for running the music department at some school or university", therefore an academic administrator, but the Lincoln Center presidency is probably closer to "an officer in some arcane political body".

Edward Troubridge

Rear-Admiral Sir Edward Thomas Troubridge, 2nd Baronet, (c. 1787 – 7 October 1852) was an officer of the British Royal Navy who served in the French Revolutionary, Napoleonic and War of 1812. He later served for fifteen years as the member of parliament for Sandwich, Kent.

Family background and early life
Troubridge was the only son of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Troubridge, Bt., and Frances Northall, the daughter of Captain John Northall. He was educated at Dr. Charles Burney's school at Greenwich.

Wartime naval career
Troubridge entered the Navy on 21 January 1797 as a volunteer on board the ship HMS Cambridge (1755), the guard ship at Plymouth under the command of Captain Richard Boger. He was discharged in April 1799, and in January 1801 joined the ship HMS Achille (1798), Captain George Murray, as a midshipman. He followed Murray into the HMS Edgar (1779), seeing action at the battle of Copenhagen on 2 April 1801, and subsequently into HMS London (1766), until transferred in May 1802 to HMS Leander (1780), Captain James Oughton, for a short time. In July 1803, he joined the HMS Victory, flagship of Lord Nelson in the Mediterranean, and in August 1804, moved into the frigate HMS Narcissus (1801), Captain Ross Donnelly, serving until February 1805.

On 22 February 1806 he was promoted to lieutenant aboard the HMS Blenheim (1761), his father's flagship in the East Indies, and in March was appointed acting-commander of the 18-gun brig-sloop HMS Harrier (1804). On 4 July 1806 Harrier and the frigate HMS Greyhound (1783), Captain Charles Elphinstone, destroyed the Dutch East India Company brig Christian Elizabeth under the fort of Manado. Two days later, off the island of Tidore, the two ships captured the Dutch 12-gun Belgica. On 26 July they fought a Dutch squadron off Sulawesi, consisting of the 40-gun frigate Pallas, the 20-gun corvette William, and the armed Indiamen Vittoria and Batavia, both richly laden. Only the William escaped capture. His share of the prize money for the captures was £26,000. In a letter to John Markham at the Admiralty following the action his father commented: "Elphinstone says Tom in the Harrier behaved like a brave, good fellow; had he done otherwise I would with great composure put a pistol ball through his nob..." In August 1806 Troubridge was appointed acting-captain of the frigate Macassar (formerly the Dutch Pallas), moving to the Greyhound in October. His promotion to commander was confirmed on 5 September 1806, and to post-captain on 28 November 1807.

Sir Thomas Troubridge was superseded as commander-in-chief in the East Indies by Sir Edward Pellew, and appointed commander-in-chief at the Cape of Good Hope. At Madras his flagship Blenheim was inspected and found to be unfit for further service, being hogged and taking on water even when at anchor. Despite the protests of her captain, Austin Bissell, Troubridge insisted on taking her to the Cape. Blenheim sailed on 12 January 1807, in company with the frigate HMS Java (1806), Captain George Pigot, and the sloop Harrier. On 5 February Harrier lost contact with the other ships near the island of Rodrigues. They were never seen again. Pellew ordered Troubridge in Greyhound to search for the missing ships. Starting at Rodrigues, he retraced their course to the Île de France, sending an officer ashore under a flag of truce to gain information. The French authorities informed him that the ships had been sighted at some distance off the Île Bourbon. At Île Sainte-Marie off Madagascar they learned that the ships had put into the harbour to take on water and fresh meat, before sailing for the Cape. There being no further sightings it was assumed that the ships had foundered during a storm. On the death of his father, Troubridge succeeded to the baronetcy. He was invalided home in January 1808.

On 5 February 1813 Troubridge was appointed to the 38-gun frigate HMS Armide (1806), for service in the War of 1812 against the United States. Armide, in company with HMS Endymion (1797), captured the 17-gun American privateer Herald on 15 August 1814, and the next day Armide alone captured the French 16-gun letter of marque Invincible. During the operations against New Orleans in January 1815 Troubridge served as commander of the Naval Brigade, and was highly praised for his efforts. Armide was paid off in May 1815.

Post-war career
After the war Troubridge bought the estate "Rockville" near North Berwick, but he and his family spent most of the next 15 years living in Italy, France and Belgium. They eventually returned to England in December 1830, and Troubridge applied to the Admiralty for a command. In March 1831 he was appointed commander-in-chief at Cork, flying his flag in the frigate HMS Stag (1830), which he joined on 15 April. However, at the request of the government he stood in the general election of 1831, and was elected second member for the town and port of Sandwich in May. He spent much of the rest of the year on leave of absence from his ship in order to attend Parliament and vote in favour of the Great Reform Act. On 30 June 1831 Troubridge was appointed naval aide-de-camp to King William, and remained in that post for Queen Victoria until 1841.

In March 1832 he was ordered to take Stag to Madeira to observe developments in the Portuguese Civil War. By July 1832 Stag was cruising off the Portuguese coast. When offered command of HMS Malabar (1818) on foreign service, he turned it down, wishing to remain in Stag, but in October 1832 he found himself unemployed. Troubridge was re-elected to Parliament in the 1832 election, and again in 1835 and 1841, serving until 1847.

Troubridge served on the Board of Admiralty from 22 April 1835 serving as Fourth Naval Lord until 1837, then as Third Naval Lord until June 1841, and then briefly as Second Naval Lord before he resigned from the Admiralty on 23 August 1841 to take command of the 84-gun ship HMS Formidable (1825) in the Mediterranean. He was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath by the newly crowned Queen Victoria on 20 July 1838. He was promoted to rear admiral on 23 November 1841, and was also a Deputy Lieutenant for Haddingtonshire.

Troubridge died on 7 October 1852, at his house in Eaton Place, Belgravia.

Personal life
On 18 October 1810, he married Anna Maria Cochrane, the daughter of Admiral the Honourable Sir Alexander Cochrane, sister of Rear Admiral Sir Thomas John Cochrane, and cousin of Vice-Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald. They had four sons and three daughters, including:
 * Major Sir Thomas St. Vincent Hope Cochrane Troubridge, 3rd baronet.
 * Captain Edward Norwich Troubridge, RN, who died serving in China in 1850.
 * Charlotte Frances Troubridge (d 25 March 1900, aged 74), who lived in Kensington.

Weird. So according to this 1$ definition less people will be poor when the US$ devaluates. And over time less people will be poor, simply because of because of inflation. So this definition seems utter nonsense to me. Could someone explain to me why it is not? Or point to some more knowledgeable critique of this definition? G-u-a-k-@ 00:27, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Though the number of people "earning less than a dollar a day" is a common figure cited when discussing global poverty, the methods by which one might calculate what a dollar is worth in developing countries are several and complex. Certainly the meaning of the phrase will change with inflation, and people who use this metric would have to take that into account.

This article is confused; it uses the term "abosolute poverty" to mean "very bad poverty" when income inequality metrics defines it as a technical term, which means poverty as measured by what you can afford, not by how you compare to others. I think it's best just to merge this article there, if there's anything here worth saving. -- Beland 07:14, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Absolute Poverty

Someone living beyond the edge of subsistence, whose continued existence is dependent on the active charity of others. May have a religious or world renouncing component if voluntary... User:swhit41

 * So if you look on Poverty, you'll see that there are two meanings to the term "absolute poverty", one of which is the percentage of people below some poverty line, and the other of which means "extreme poverty". The first meaning is already discussed at Income inequality metrics, and the remainder could easily be integrated into the discussion of absoluete/extreme poverty at Poverty.  If this subject is going to expand into its own article (which could certainly be worthwhile), perhaps it would be best to rename it "extreme poverty" (or similar) instead, to avoid the confusion. -- Beland 03:23, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Someone please clarify what is meant when the intro refers to US $1.50 a day and A $2 a day. 1 Aus dollar is worth more than one USD, currencies are not interchangeable. us 1.50 does not = aud$2, please fix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.175.170.121 (talk) 10:41, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

@Guaka It is measured in Purchasing Power Parity exchange rates (PPP) the dollars a day poverty line is adjusted according to this. The poverty line is currently 2005 PPP.--98.122.177.25 (talk) 20:58, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Absolute Poverty
It is ridiculous that I get forwarded to this article when I enter "absolute poverty". Absolute poverty means that poverty is defined without referring to the general income level in a society. Absolute poverty has nothing to do with extreme poverty. This is the ideology of the poverty lobbyists who never want to speak about absolute poverty but always about income distribution. Wikipedia should not subscribe to any ideology! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.43.225.154 (talk) 22:29, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Semantic split
OK, I edited the article to clearly differentiate between the two meanings. What I was thinking was that the "In economics" part should move to Poverty line, since in this sense, being in "absolute poverty" means nothing more than being below someone's "poverty line." The material left over fot the section on how the phrase is used to mean "extreme poverty" is barely more than a dictionary definition, and so should either be moved to Wiktionary, merged with Poverty, or both. -- Beland 04:44, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Solution?
I suggest that we reserve the absolute poverty to mean 'below some poverty line.' and transfer the other to the dictionary if not just deleting. Can I just merge the pages? (I am new).
 * Extreme poverty is not the same as living below the poverty line.--69.156.204.111 18:34, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

An interesting metric?
How many die of /it/ each day?

I've heard 30,000 a day (every day) die of /extreme poverty/. Yes? No?

Was it better last week?

Clearly -- the /brave ones/ that die of starvation or simple disease could be considered "extremely poor". (way too poor to read these words...)

There must be a more extreme term for those that die in poverty...

Clearly the number changes, and could be tracked and studied. A regular newspaper feature...

Well... something has to replace the poetry column...

"Income-based definition" section needs improvements for clarity
This section gives a very confusing array of thresholds. Can we re-word it to make clearer that the threshold was USD 1 in 1996, USD 1.25 in 2005 and USD 1.90 in 2015?

The wording should account for the changes and also to be explicit that the measurement is in USD.

Is poverty decreasing?

Agreed, especially since a lot of economists regard the World Bank's definition to reflect a pretty significant conflict of interest. They represent a lot of powerful economic institutions and people who are pretty happy to see wages being low and hours being high around the world. They actively seek to make the poverty line as low as humanly possible to argue good living conditions. Yet there's no criticism or controversy page. Also it doesn't adjust for cost of living, which makes the international poverty line pretty meaningless. If you're a homeless person in New York who lives on 200 dollars a month, then you might have worse living conditions than someone who lives below the poverty line in Guatemala for instance. Because median rent in Guatemala is 50 dollars (roughly), whereas it can run in the thousands in New York. So in Guatemala you got a home, in New York you don't. Rich countries don't always benefit poor people, and you can't measure poverty with daily income without context. Point is, someone should point out how a lot of economists would argue that the World Bank is a pretty unscholarly institution that serves as a PR wing for western corporations. Because I know they're not dumb, they know economics, they're just intentionally misinforming people. 78.69.180.157 (talk) 20:26, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Skewed and debatable definitions used here
Tamcgath (talk) 21:45, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

I want to agree with David here. Most serious poverty scholars don't take the $1.90 level seriously since it doesn't factor in things like food costs or nutrition. You can actually see that even when they bumped it up from $1.25 from 2005 PPP to $1.90 to 2015, the food prices have gone up significantly since then. And global hunger has increased. This article desperately needs some more contending voices on here. I'd suggest pulling in some insights from Jason Hickel's book, The Divide. Here is more on his blog: https://www.jasonhickel.org/blog/2019/2/3/pinker-and-global-poverty. I'd like to possibly edit and add a criticism section here.

New Criticism
Hi. I don't know how to edit Wikipedia, but there is important new criticism of this metric that claims to measure extreme poverty. It's an arbitrary metric and doesn't seem to account for the difference between people who have a house and land and food in the ground but may average $1.50/day income, versus someone who has nothing but may get $2/day somehow. The former would be much better off, obviously. Anyway, here is some recent critique in this vein, and there is much more. I don't know how to even do links in Wikipedia but maybe this will work. The link should lead to a recent essay by Jason Hickel at https://newint.org/features/2019/07/01/long-read-progress-and-its-discontents

Hope this critique about Enclosure and the nature of what is being called "extreme poverty" and the faults of this metric. Thanks. John.

Just adding to this, many good Wikipedia pages seem to have a section on criticisms of a subject and that seems to be missing here. I actually came to this page to look for such a section and think if someone could add it that would be useful for future readers. Unfortunately, the editing system seems a bit overwhelming to me so I´ll leave it to you smart people :) - UDRF/Jakob — Preceding unsigned comment added by Udrf (talk • contribs) 11:58, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Yes, it needs critique. It also makes it seem as if $1.90/day in 2011 is the threshold everywhere, but it's not. It is adjusted (mostly downward) by PPP which is not mentioned clearly in the lede. 216.19.250.77 (talk) 12:04, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Outdated
This article reflects only pre-covid statistics about the decrease of extreme poverty and doesn't show updated graphics and updated paragraphs. Someone should add a "covid impacts" session to this article. Araukan (talk) 21:56, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Should there be a criticism section?
It seems like measuring poverty is a pretty controversial thing and i think it would be important to include criticism of the measure to keep the article well rounded. I would add it myself but im quite bad at writing and dont want to ruin an otherwise well made page. 150.203.2.217 (talk) 20:20, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Mockney

Mockney (a portmanteau of "mock" and "cockney") is an affected accent and form of speech in imitation of cockney or working-class London speech, or a person with such an accent. A stereotypical mockney speaker comes from an upper-middle-class background.

A person speaking with a mockney accent might adopt cockney pronunciation but retain standard grammatical forms, whereas the genuine cockney speaker uses non-standard forms (e.g. negative concord).

Details
The first published use of the word according to the Oxford English Dictionary was in 1967.

It is an affectation sometimes adopted for aesthetic or theatrical purposes, and at other times just to sound "cool", to generate street credibility, or to give the false impression that the speaker rose from humble beginnings and became prominent through hard work and some innate talent rather than the education, contacts and other advantages that a privileged background tends to bring. Britpop band Blur was said to have a "mockney, down-the-dogs blokey charm". Mick Jagger is often accused of being the first celebrity in modern times to overplay his regional accent in order to boost his street credibility.

One explanation of dialect adoption given in social linguistics is the desire for prestige, that a person is likely to adopt speech patterns (including accent, vocabulary, dialect or even language) which they perceive to be prestigious.

The concept of communication accommodation, either upwards or downwards in idiolect, can be seen in many social interactions. One can put someone at ease by speaking in a familiar tone or intonation, or one can intimidate or alienate someone by speaking more formally. For example, in a courtroom, a more formal voice register with technical legal jargon can be used to intimidate a defendant. In contrast, mockney seeks to lower the perceived socio-economic class of the speaker.

Notable people described as using mockney speech

 * Russell Brand
 * Nigel Kennedy
 * Kate Nash
 * Tim Roth
 * Joe Strummer
 * Jamie Oliver

Cyril Scott

Cyril Meir Scott (27 September 1879 – 31 December 1970) was an English composer, writer, poet, and occultist. He created around four hundred musical compositions including piano, violin, cello concertos, symphonies, and operas. He also wrote around 20 pamphlets and books on occult topics and natural health.

Biography
Scott was born in Oxton, Cheshire to Henry Scott (1843-1918), shipper and scholar of Greek and Hebrew, and Mary (née Griffiths), an amateur pianist of Welsh origin. He showed a talent for music from an early age and was sent to the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt, Germany to study piano in 1892 at age 12. He studied with Iwan Knorr and belonged to the Frankfurt Group, a circle of composers who studied at the Hoch Conservatory in the late 1890s. At 20, the German poet Stefan George helped Scott organize a performance of Scott's first symphony. He played his Piano Quartet with Fritz Kreisler, Emil Kreuz, and Ludwig Lebell in St. James' Hall in 1903.

In 1902 he met the pianist Evelyn Suart, with whom he had a long artistic association. She championed his music, premiering many of his works, and introducing him to his publisher, Elkin, with whom he remained for the rest of his life. Evelyn Suart was also a Christian Scientist, and it was through her that Scott became interested in metaphysics. Scott dedicated his Scherzo, Op. 25 to Evelyn Suart.

Music
His experiments in free rhythm, generated by expanding musical motifs, above all in his First Piano Sonata of 1909, appear to have exerted an influence on Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (see The Cyril Scott Companion, pp. 45–47). He used to be known as 'the English Debussy', though this reflected little knowledge of Scott and little understanding of Debussy.

Alternative medicine
Scott had an interest in alternative medicine, health foods, occultism, naturopathy, philosophy and yoga. In a series of books and pamphlets, he urged the sick, even those with cancer, to trust diet and alternative medicine and avoid trained medics and surgery. Scott was an alternative cancer treatment advocate and authored two works on this subject. He also recommended people to consume black molasses and cider vinegar.

McKee Foods

McKee Foods Corporation is a privately held and family-owned American snack food and granola manufacturer headquartered in Collegedale, Tennessee. The corporation is the maker of Drake's Cakes, Fieldstone Bakery snacks and cereal, Little Debbie snacks, and Sunbelt Bakery granola and cereal. The company also formerly operated Heartland Brands.

History
The company was founded during the Great Depression by Oather "O.D." McKee and Ruth McKee. Oather started out selling cakes from his 1928 Whippet in the Chattanooga area. Wanting to expand, he bought a small bakery, Jack's Cookie Company. The bakery did well for a few years, but O.D. was still looking to expand. His father-in-law, however, did not share his ideas. O.D. decided to sell his business and start over.

The McKees moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, into a new bakery designed by O.D. After some time, they sold the Charlotte plant. They moved back to Chattanooga in the early 1950s when Cecil King, Ruth's brother, was in poor health and needed help. They decided to buy back the bakery, which was renamed McKee Baking Company from King's Bakery in 1962, and run it themselves.

McKee Baking Company moved to Collegedale in 1957. In 1991, McKee Baking Company became McKee Foods Corporation.

Ellsworth McKee, the son of company-founder O.D. McKee, took over, but retired from day-to-day operations in September 2012 and retains the position of company chairman.

It was announced on January 28, 2013, that McKee Foods would pay $27.5 million for Hostess Brands' Drake's brand, which includes Ring Dings, Yodels, and Devil Dogs products. The bankruptcy court approved the purchase on April 9, 2013.

As of 2013, McKee ships more than 900 million cartons of Little Debbie products each year.

Little Debbie
Little Debbie products are primarily cookie and cake-based dessert snacks. They come in dozens of varieties, including the top-selling Swiss Cake Rolls, Nutty Bars, Fudge Rounds, Cloud Cakes, Cosmic Brownies, Zebra Cakes, and Oatmeal Creme Pies. Little Debbie products are available in most discount, grocery, and convenience stores, both in boxes and as individually wrapped items.

In 1960, company founders O.D. and Ruth McKee decided to name a product after one of their grandchildren, four-year-old Debbie. Now Debbie McKee-Fowler serves as Executive Vice-President and serves on the McKee Foods Board of Directors. The original image of Debbie used on packaging and advertising, which began on August 23, 1960, was based on a black-and-white photo. Full-color portraits of Little Debbie started later in 1960. Artist Pearl Mann of Atlanta created the original color artwork. Following instructions, she made the little girl look older, around 8 or 9. Minor changes were made to the logo in 1985 and again in 2013.

The Little Debbie brand has sponsored NASCAR teams since the 1990s, most notably the Wood Brothers No. 21 Ford Fusion in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series from 2006 to 2008. The brand switched to the No. 47 JTG Daugherty Racing team in the 2009 season, after sponsoring both teams in 2008. From sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, known as the Sabbath, the Little Debbie logos are covered or removed, and the crew wears non-Little Debbie attire as a condition of sponsorship because McKee Foods was founded and is run by owners who are Seventh-day Adventists.

As of late 2022, the cakes will not be sold in US Department of Defense Defense Commissary Agency and Navy Exchange commissaries. McKee has said that the regulatory standards required of McKee Foods are too costly to continue supplying the commissaries.

Drake's
Drake's is a baking company in Wayne, New Jersey. Originally an independent company, Drake's was owned by Hostess from 1998 to 2012; McKee Foods acquired Drake's line when Hostess liquidated in bankruptcy in 2012. The Drake's brand distributes snack cakes such as Ring Dings, Yodels, Devil Dogs, Yankee Doodles, Sunny Doodles, Funny Bones, and coffee cake. Their mascot is Webster, a smiling drake (a male duck) holding a spoon and wearing a chef's hat and neckerchief.

Fieldstone Bakery
Products sold under the Fieldstone Bakery brand include whole grain snacks, granola, pastries, and cookies.

Sunbelt Bakery
Sunbelt Bakery products include a variety of granola bars, fruit snacks, and cereals.

Heartland Brands
The company previously sold granola cereals and pie crusts under the Heartland brand. McKee acquired the brand, which dated to 1968, in 1998. The brand was in use until at least 2018.

Unlinking
The link to Chris Wilson was removed. An article by that name was just deleted following a VfD vote. That article referred to a Chris Wilson who was found not to meet the recommended general criteria for inclusion of biographies or the music-specific WP:NMG. It is unclear to me whether or not this article was attempting to refer to the same person. If it is a different Chris Wilson, the link should probably not be recreated here until an encyclopedic article has been written on this Chris Wilson. Thanks. Rossami (talk) 00:33, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Page needs improvement
This page should not be classified as a top level 'Aust Music Festival' page - it should be just a sub page under the Meredith Festival Page. By itself it just appears to be a 'link-spam' page.

 * This page was originally split from the article Meredith Music Festival because it was too long. This seems reasonable to me, because if the list was merged back it would double the size of the original article.
 * This article is not linkspam. Linkspam is the addition of external links to Wikipedia to promote the target of the link, and this page has no external links at all. It does not contain any promotional language or anything else to promote anyone or anything. It is not spam. Hut 8.5 15:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

"his page has no external links at all"

I repeat - "This page should not be classified as a top level 'Aust Music Festival' page - it should be just a sub page under the Meredith Festival Page. By itself it just appears to be a 'link-spam' page."Also note the tag someone else added - ""This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2007) Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unverifiable material may be challenged and removed."

What Wikipedia is not 2.4 Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files "Mere collections of internal links, except for disambiguation pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for lists to assist with the organisation of articles."

It's the only "List of..." in the Category:Music_festivals_in_Australia, so since it's just a sub page off the Meredith Festival page (and no other Festival there has a separate "List of ..." page), I removed the Category:Music festivals in Australia tag. By having it as just a sub page off there, it is more in line with Wiki Policy. I won't waste my time challenging it at this time, since the Festival fans would probably want to keep this info.

I left the other list tags, as they are appropriate.

FoolesTroupe (talk) 12:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This page cannot be linkspam by defniition. A linkspam page is one that contains external links trying to promote another website (and this page does not have any external links, so it can't do that). In order to be any kind of spam the page would have to promote something, and it obviously is not. The fact that the page is currently unreferenced is irrelevant to whether or not it is spam, and is not a reason to delete the page - it's a reason to find some references.
 * It is in keeping with Wikipedia policy to have lists of things - see Lists. It is a "list to assist with the organisation of articles" that you quoted above. It is in Category:Music festivals in Australia because it is about a music festival in Australia. The fact that there are no other list articles in that category is irrelevant, as it could be that no-one has got around to writing one yet. It is not a "sub-page" (and I'm not sure what you mean by that term). The category should be restored. Hut 8.5 13:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Maiden name
My aunt married a "Gormezano" and Eydie's real name is not "Garmezano." Please fix this as I don't have the time or energy right now. Almost any other web site has it correctly.162.83.149.70 (talk) 20:47, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Dear Sir or Madam: I changed it to "Garmezano" based on the 1930 census records which clearly show the spelling used at that time (and her true year of birth). Perhaps the "Gormezano" -- if that person is even a relation to Eydie -- who married your aunt changed the spelling. However you cannot just leave a message asking that something be changed without being able to provide a serious reason as to why.
 * Also, "Almost any other web site has it correctly does not mean all that much, although having made the change some time ago I am pretty sure many mirror sites have already copied it by now. Perhaps not IMDb, yet, but IMDb and mirror sites and outdated references and personal anecdotes are not reliable sources. If you can prove it using reliable sources, I will be happy to restore the old spelling. Yours, Quis separabit?  22:43, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

OK, perhaps I should write to Eydie and ask for both the short and long forms of her birth certificate.;-) Though I've never met Eydie, I've never seen the "Garmezano" form of her name either.Ed (talk) 13:27, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * As you like, but why wouldn't you check the census records reflink I provided in the article regarding Gorme's year of birth and name at birth; there is also one for her mother, Fortuna (or Fortune). Both cite Garmezano. Quis separabit?  16:11, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I was joking about writing to Eydie but I'm wondering if there could be a mistake on the census form. But the link was a help as I was able to find my Uncle Dave on Ancestry.com.

http://records.ancestry.com/David_Gormezano_records.ashx?pid=81151275

There is no doubt it is he since all of the facts match as far as I know. His son, my cousin Albert did indeed die young (in an auto accident.). And also, what I didn't remember was that Dave's mother was Miriam Sedacca and the article on Eydie says she is a cousin of Neil Sedaka. I didn't know about Dave's later life after he moved to Florida and remarried.
 * Glad I could be of help. Quis separabit?  18:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Unless and until other information is forthcoming, it will have to be left as "Edith Garmezano". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Midipedia (talk • contribs) 17:43, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the vote of confidence. Quis separabit?  18:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I did write to Eydie on the Steve and Eydie website and, though it took time, I did just get an answer which I paste here:

Dear Edward

Thank you for your E-mail. Wikipedia is incorrect. It is Gormezano.

Thank you The Steve and Eydie Website Team

I'd be happy to forward the email if that is what is wanted but I think you should change it or have Wikipedia risk looking foolish. I won't change it myself as I don't want to risk another editing war!Ed (talk) 01:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Interesting. I am not 100% convinced but if anyone wants to add a refnote regarding this apparent discrepancy (Gormezano v Garmezano) and chalk it up to census records misspellings, that seems fair. Quis separabit?  03:26, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

My editing skills are not sufficient to add a refnote. If someone else can do it, fine.Ed (talk) 14:53, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

OK, I'll do it when I get the chance and have decided on how to write it and which spelling to use as a default. Quis separabit? 16:35, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Can't do it until some evidence that census records were incorrect re Garmezano. If anyone has any proof they are free to upload it to the article or to my talk page. Quis separabit?  21:06, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

The CNN obit says her father changed it from Garmezano when he immigrated. Kendall-K1 (talk) 01:07, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Death
=="It is believed she died of cancer". No source, nothing has been disclosed by the family. The ONLY source that claims she had cancer is a woman in a Google group who claims Gorme is her aunt. This should be removed.Zabadu (talk) 04:08, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Title of article
It seems that Edie Gorme is the more common spelling both by the public and by Gorme herself. The official web site uses "Gorme". This article should follow suit per WP:COMMONNAME. Rhindle The Red (talk) 17:46, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

 * She sometimes used Gormé - see the 2nd photo from the left in the top line here. Mostly, I agree, it was just Gorme.
 * But nowhere and never did she spell her first name "Edie". It was ALWAYS "Eydie".  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  21:26, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The CBS obit says "Gorme decided to keep the family name but changed her given name from Edith to Edie. Later, having grown tired of people mistaking it for Eddie, she changed the spelling to Eydie." All the obits I've seen spell her last name "Gorme." Kendall-K1 (talk) 03:24, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

DISCOGRAPHY
I believe that at least one Steve & Eydie recording is missing from the discography. I no longer have the 45 rpm record of it, but my memory says that: (1) the A side was "Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words)", (2) it did well on the early 60's pop charts, and (3) it was on the Columbia label. There should be some way to corroborate this. That's all.Lovingthesixties (talk) 04:52, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Here's one on ABC: . That same site lists quite a few overseas releases too. I suspect the discography is not complete. Kendall-K1 (talk) 19:38, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

The complete discography is now available. It shows that Amor was issued a total of 19 times in various countries. Salud! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilda S Mitrani (talk • contribs) 03:06, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Social issues in Chinatowns

[Untitled]
An in-depth article about the history of early Chinatown tongs and current street gangs would be a good supplement.

I'd write it up since I have some of the sources handy, but I've thought about it several times. It isn't in my desire to have the hard work done only to see it butchered and edited like crazy by people who don't know what they're doing.

So, any takers?

Jonas Geirnaert

Jonas Geirnaert (born 28 July 1982) studied animation at the KASK in Ghent. In May 2004, he won the Short Film Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival with his animated short Flatlife (11 min). The first minute of the film was the only portion with sound because it was a student project that was unfinished at the time of the selection entry deadline.

Although Flatlife has no political message, Jonas' previous movie, The All-American Alphabet, clearly has one. On stage in Cannes, Jonas had a message for all Americans: "Don't vote Bush". While such statements were popular at the time, Geirnaert's political leanings were far-left, as he was a member of the marxist Workers Party of Belgium.

In the fall of 2005, Geirnaert made the TV comedy series Neveneffecten for Canvas (public Flemish television) with his fellow comedians Lieven Scheire, Koen De Poorter and Jelle De Beule. In 2011, this same group of four made the television show BASTA which also offered satirical critique on current cultural phenomenon, like help desks, uncritical journalism, television call games, the production of meat and internet scammers. Through their actions, some of the more fraudulent abuses have been put to a stop, e.g. the de facto illegal television calling games have been banned from television in Flanders.
