Talk:Gee (navigation)

GEE vs Gee
The name is given as "GEE", not "Gee", in Price Instruments of Darkness which is the definitive printed reference work I know of on this field, so I'm going to go with that name. Noel (talk) 19:11, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I also had this confirmed via an e-mail from the chairman of the Duxford Radio Society. — PMcM 23:57, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * GEE didn't stand for anything. It was a randomly allocated code name as were all code names used by the British.  Code name allocated in this way couldn't reveal anything about the equipment that they protected.  Contrast this with German code names which always betrayed some characteristic of the equipment.  I B Wright 15:21, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

 * According to "Radar: A Wartime Mirace"
 * "Gee was the first of several successful radionavigational systems based on a grid (hence the name 'Gee')....."
 * Also in Avionics by Bill Gunston
 * "Called Gee (G from grid)"
 * Theoretically all military codenames should be randomly generated but it is quite common for there to be reason behind a choice of a codename. --jmb 16:07, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

A reproduction copy of the Radar Bulletin Victory Souvenir Number 1945 originally published by RAF 60 Group, has an article on Gee and Oboe. This used the spelling "Gee" throughout. I would not call "Instruments of Darkness" as the definitive book, just another book on the subject. R V Jones used "Gee" in Most Secret War but his one reference in Reflections on Intelligence uses "GEE". Michael Bragg uses "GEE" in RDF1. Louis Brown uses "Gee". E G Bowen seems to use "GEE" though can only find in the index. Colin Latham uses "Gee" and I think the key to map of sites is a copy of an original RAF one. I get the impression that both spellings were used and both should be given in the main article as the evidence is that both were use during WWII. --jmb 16:25, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

This site is written by someone worked on GEE/Gee and uses both spellings --jmb 18:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The term 'Gee' was Word War I signalese for the letter 'G' (in the same fashion that it is 'Golf' today) so 'Grid' is likely to be correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.208.47 (talk) 14:33, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

 * BTW, Gee was the most widely installed piece of Allied radar equipment after IFF - it was also widely used by the USAAF and also played a key role in D-Day. Robert Dippy's IEEE award with information on Gee by Dippy himself and Robert Watson-Watt here:

Other chains
Were there Southern and Western chains? The map of RAF radar and navaid stations at the end of WWII that appears in various books shows these GEE sites --jmb 00:14, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Kilkenneth (Tiree)
 * Saligo (Islay)
 * Downhill (Northern Ireland)
 * Folly (Pembrokeshire)
 * Trerew (Cornwall)
 * Pennen (Cornwall)
 * Sharpitor (Devon?)
 * Bulbarrow Hill (Hampshire?)
 * Truleigh Hill (Sussex?)
 * Canewdon (Essex?)
 * Nettleton (Lincolnshire?)
 * High Wittle (Northumberland?)
 * Richmond (Yorkshire)
 * Clee Hill (Shropshire?)
 * Barkway (Hertfordshire?)
 * Gibbet Hill (Surrey)

This site shows four chains in 1948 South Western, Eastern, Scottish and Southern. This suggests there might have been at least five chains during WWII unless each had moree slaves. --jmb 22:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Gibbet Hill has been put as part of the Eastern Chain - is this certain? Barkway is much nearer to Daventry, could Gibbet Hill be in a Southern Chain as several of the GEE sites listed above are in the South East of England (including Gibbet Hill).  --jmb 16:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

In the 1956-159 period I was stationed with 550 SU at Fort Spijkerboor, Holland, then 889 SU near Eckenforde, Germany, and then 330 SU outside Ingolstadt in Bavaria. We never seemed to be operational. Just closing down and moving all the time. Were we just a ruse or deception...we never were told. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.143.201.9 (talk) 05:51, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

crashed Wellington
"During the development phase, a trial Gee set was on board a Vickers Wellington flying over occupied Europe. The aircraft crashed, and although the equipment was not fitted with demolition charges, the British couldn't be sure that the set wouldn't be studied by the Germans. It subsequently appeared that the Germans completely missed it." I'm reading Target America: Hitler's plan to attack the United States, (James P. Duffy, Lyons Press 2004, ISBN 1-59228-934-7) which states: "Following the... bombing of... Lubeck on March 8, 1942, [Dietrich] Schwenke searched the wreckage of a [RAF] Wellington bomber and made a vital discovery. He found a navigation aid the British code-named Gee... The discovery quickly lead to the German development of technology to successfully jam the Gee signals." It cites Louis L. Snyder, Louis L. Snyder's Historical Guide to World War II (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1982),265. I'm assuming this is the wreck the article refers to - if the source is accurate, the Germans didn't completely miss it. JW 09:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Gee H
What was special about Gee H? Used to be in Hastings aircraft and presumably others up to 1960. 86.141.115.102 (talk) 15:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Confusingly, GEE H wasn't based on GEE, but on Oboe. It was much more accurate than GEE and, like Oboe, was used primarily for target finding/bombing rather than navigation. I assume it would have been installed in Hastings' so as to allow accurate parachute drops. Ian Dunster (talk) 14:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

GEE H was used in early versions of the Canberra bomber, but not in the Suez campaign since the network did not extend that far Soarhead77 (talk) 22:00, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Naming, GEE vs. Gee
The original patent and IEEE reports on Gee from 1946 both use "Gee". The upper case form appears primarily in military sources. In the days before word processing and WYSIWYG, this was a common replacement for bold text. We use bold text on the Wiki to draw attention to the names of the main objects of interest in the article, and in the past that would have been upper case instead. I think in this case I'm going to go with the inventor's own use pattern, and suggest this be moved to "Gee". Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:37, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a question of house style. Gee was originally a WWII codeword. It was British officialdom's house style to capitalize codewords in typewritten memoranda etc. WP doesn't have to follow that. I don't know if WP has a style policy for codewords. I think it would look better as Gee.--Harumphy (talk) 16:00, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I had a look in RAF Signals 1939-1945 (the official history). They use mainly "Gee" with just the odd use of "GEE", mainly in tables.  I prefer to see if capitalised but won't lose any sleep over the use of "Gee".
 * There is a lot of information there on other chains, site numbers and chain codenames etc. Perhaps add a bit to the page one day. jmb (talk) 17:18, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

TR 1335
On 10 November last year the lead read "GEE was the code name given to T.R. 1335" It was supported by two inline citations. The next edit on the 13 November removed those inline citations. "T.R. 1334" was removed from the lead when the lead was changed to "Gee was the code name given to a radio navigation system". Why was T.R. 1335 removed? -- PBS (talk) 09:41, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 * After a conversation with some guys that have one of these that's actually operational, it was clear this was the name of a particular piece of equipment used in Gee, not Gee itself. As such I didn't want to get into listitis in the LEAD, so I moved all of this into the BODY. I'm still trying to find out what the original receiver was called (NOT 1335, apparently) but no one seems to have one any more. Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

 * The designation denotes that it is a Transmitter/Receiver unit, although these were sometimes misleading for radar and similar RAF equipment for security reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 13:52, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Correct designation for GEE and GEE-H airborne receiver was 'R1335'.

 * Ground station GEE transmitter equipment was designated '. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.208.47 (talk) 14:43, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Shaohao

Shaohao, also known as Jin Tian , was a legendary Chinese sovereign, usually identified as a son of the Yellow Emperor. According to some traditions, such as that within the Book of Documents, Shaohao is one of the Five Emperors. His place in the mythical lineage of the Yellow Emperor has been subject to controversy. Members of the 19th–20th century Doubting Antiquity School of historians posited that Shaohao was added to the orthodox succession legend by Liu Xin as part of a politically motivated campaign revising ancient texts c. 1 AD.

Standard legend
Though its provenance can only be reliably traced from the 1st century AD onwards, the traditional story of Shaohao posits him as a son of the Yellow Emperor., Furthermore, he ruled as the leader of the Dongyi for 84 years, during which he moved the capital to Qufu. He was succeeded by his nephew Zhuanxu, the son of his brother Changyi.

However, the Shiji did not list an emperor between the Yellow Emperor and Zhuanxu. Shaohao is mentioned therein as a person living between the two fretting over an incompetent son, labelled as Qiongji. If Shaohao were to be identified with Xuanxiao (玄囂)—claimed by the Shiji to be the Yellow Emperor's eldest son—the incompetent Qiongji would be identified with Jiaoji, Xuanxiao's only known offspring. Jiaoji was also passed over to serve as emperor; however, his son Ku, as well as his grandsons Zhi and Yao, would all ultimately become emperors.

The site traditionally claimed to be Shaohao's tomb is located in present-day Jiuxian village on the eastern outskirts of Qufu, most likely constructed during the Song dynasty. The site also includes Shou Qiu, a pyramidal monument marking the legendary birthplace of the Yellow Emperor.

Alternative legends
In the Bamboo Annals, it is stated that Shaohao was not the Yellow Emperor's son but the son of a certain Lady Jie, who miraculously conceived him after seeing a rainbow-like star flowing downwards onto Hua Islet.

Another legend says that his mother—the Weaver Woman, a star goddess—was a beautiful fairy named Huang'e, who fell in love with the planet Venus while drifting along the Milky Way. The two enjoyed many intimate nights together on her raft and they created a son. She soon gave birth to Shaohao, who grew up to be a handsome young man with a lot of potential. The Yellow Emperor—here his great-uncle—was so impressed with Shaohao that he named him God of the Western Heavens.

According to this telling, Shaohao created a kingdom in the five mountains of the Eastern Paradise inhabited by different types of birds. As ruler of this land, he captured the identity of a vulture, and other birds worked below him: a phoenix was his Lord Chancellor, a hawk delegated the law, and a pigeon was in charge of education. He deigned that the four seasons of the year would watch over the remaining birds.

Although his kingdom was successful for many years, he moved back to the west and left his kingdom of birds to his son Chong. With a different son, Ru Shou, he made his home on Changliu Mountain, where he could rule over the Western Heavens. In union as father and son, they were responsible for the daily setting of the sun. In addition, Shaohao was thought to have introduced China to the twenty-five string lute.

Historicity and historiography
While no modern scholarship accepts any part of the Yellow Emperor body of myth as describing historical events, traditional Chinese historiography viewed them as real. Shaohao's place in the succession is not dateable to early sources on the topic, and has its source in the so-called "Ancient Script Texts" only. In a theory that has since been discredited, the Doubting Antiquity School, represented by Kang Youwei, Gu Jiegang, and Qian Mu, posited that Shaohao was inserted into the orthodox lineage during the Han dynasty by imperial librarian Liu Xin, as part of a wide-ranging campaign to revise ancient texts in order to justify the present monarch—either the Han imperial house, or the brief Xin dynasty that overthrew it. According to the theory, Liu Xin was keen to create a narrative which would satisfactorily reflect the five phases theory of dynastic succession, a "generative cycle" that rotated between different lineages, which would together legitimise the rule of either the Han, the Xin, or both.

There is debate whether that Shaohao was a real or legendary ruler of the Dongyi, a people who lived in eastern China. It is theorized that the worship of Shaohao was brought west into Qin by migration. Documentary evidence of Shaohao originates in the extant version of the ancient text Zuozhuan, but the lineage recited there that includes Shaohao is not corroborated by contemporaneous or earlier texts. The Doubting Antiquity School therefore theorizes that Liu Xin fabricated Shaohao from an existing but separate legendary figure, and inserted him into the early royal lineage during his edit of the Zuozhuan.

Outside China
In the Korean Samguk Sagi, it was mentioned that Kim Yu-sin was a descendant of Shaohao.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of Star Trek and Star Wars (3rd nomination)

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP. —Korath (Talk) 13:59, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)

Star Trek versus Star Wars
As Sparky the Seventh Chaos recently put it, ''Not notable; the two series are inherently unrelated. As kelvSYC put it, "Do we need something like Comparison of apples and oranges?"'' Is this or is this not a direct violation of Wikipedia is not a soapbox? See also: Differences Between Pokémon and Digimon. How is this possibly encyclopedic information? GRider\talk 19:13, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep It is my view that, while the actual argument itself is silly, my impression that this issue generates passionate debate amongst two very large fan bases makes it notable to me. --JuntungWu 19:31, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * One could argue, especially on Wikipedia, that there are equally as large fanbases for Pokémon and Digimon. Focusing back on the article itself, what makes this document encyclopedic?  Is there a systemic bias towards sci-fi related material on Wikipedia, or is this a special case?  If so, why?  GRider\talk 20:16, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, the entry is not a simple comparison of the differences between the two franchises, such as the Poke/digimon is and the proverbial Apples and Oranges articles I imagine would be. Instead, its an article focusing on the actual debate that has some interesting mathematical and philisophical points to it, and the internet culture that has sprung up to support it.  Well known participants in the debates were actually credited for their contributions in official Lucasfilms literature, for example.  Look at the Poke/digimon article and look at this one.  Do you really think there isn't a difference in both the topic and quality?  However, on the negative side, there are some who don't grasp NPOV and encyclopedic tone  that drags down some of the article, such as the external links section.  Would you find something like this in Britanica?  No, but then again I don't enjoy randomly browsing its pages nearly as much as I like Wiki. Akerkhof 20:43, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Just so I understand you correctly, you agree that this article is not encyclopedic but it should still be kept because you enjoy reading it? Yes?  GRider\talk 21:02, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * No. Just because you wouldn't find something in Britanica does not mean that thing is not potentially encyclopedic, and just because something is not enjoyable to read does not mean it is.  But that's not your argument either, I imagine.  In my view, if it is notable, and if it's well written, it probably should be kept.  I could see how reasonable people would disagree on both counts, but I lean toward keeping this, and I certainly don't see the connection to the Pokemon article.  Yet I will not lose sleep if this article somehow fails a third VfD, either. Akerkhof 21:23, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep There have been two previous, unsuccessful attempts to delete, as an inspection of the talk page of the page in question would show. Iceberg3k 19:37, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep though people frequently editing it should study the NPOV and style guidelines. Akerkhof 20:43, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are a gazillion places on the Internet to have Mac versus PC, Windows versus Linux, Nikon versus Canon, Star Trek versus Star Wars, etc, bull sessions.    Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and isn't one of those places. Find a chat room, kids.  --BM 21:14, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * While I tend to agree with BM, the fact that it has been nominated twice already and cleared for keeping twice, makes me vote a keep. I believe two more reasons for keeping it are 1) there is in fact a newsgroup with rather high mailflow about it; and 2) the technical (dare I say obsessive?) nature of some Trekkies and Warsies, and the fact that both series are based on some variation on known physics, makes a conversation like 'could a tie fighter defeat a bird of prey' at least somewhat meaningful. Note that neither of these reasons is true for Pokemon vs Digimon, nor for Apples vs Oranges. Radiant! 21:20, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This issue is notable enough that a documentary has been produced about it. The rivalry between the two fandoms is well documented and worthy of an article. 23skidoo 21:46, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * After double-checking, it appears that no mention of a documentary is made within this article. Is this a home-brew documentary or a real documentary?  People seem to be side-stepping the question, so I'll repeat myself one last time:  How is this debate encyclopedic? GRider\talk 22:04, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe that the point may be that the differences between Star Trek and Star Wars aren't encyclopedic per se, but the avid online community about it is (as in, internet phenomenon; and yes I know we have too many of those already). And you can't discuss the latter without explaining the former. Radiant! 09:38, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe the documentary was titled Star Trek vs. Star Wars. I haven't seen it in a few years. It aired on the Canadian cable network "Space" as well as I believe Sci-Fi in the States. I understand it is also on DVD though I've yet to see it anywhere. 23skidoo 05:05, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Do you mean "Star Trek Vs Star Wars - The Rivalry Continues", which is a DVD lasting about 80 minutes? Or still another one? And, yes Keep --AlainV 14:20, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although Star Trek is more sci-fi science and Star Wars more sci-fi fantasy, alt.startrek.vs.starwars has existed for a long time regarding the debate of these two series.  The primary issue with the whole thing is that many fans wonder whether or not it was Trek that sparked the whole Sci-fi interest or was it Wars?  Even though they can't really be compared at the same level or scale, they both were science fiction birthed or rebirthed almost the same time. -- AllyUnion (talk) 22:23, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although the article could get into non-encyclopaedic issues such as the question about which spaceship would win a conflict mentioned in the opening para, it keeps fairly close to a brief to write about the differences between two examples of an extended series of popular science fiction. It is encyclopaedic to compare and contrast literary style and content and their contribution to a genre of fiction. I would prefer a different title, though. Dbiv 22:27, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, this debate is notable enough to retain an article.  According to the figures, Star Wars kicks Trek butt everytime, because the technology is a hundred thousand years more developed.  -- Riffsyphon1024 23:50, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 01:11, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see anything wrong with this, its a large net occurance and has already survived a vfd count once ScottM 01:25, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, there's a really obsessive amount of Internet literature on this that's notable in itself. DopefishJustin (・∀・) 08:22, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment.  It would be a very bad precedent to keep this article on the basis that it isn't really about  'Star Trek versus Star Wars' but rather about the widespread discussion of this topic as an Internet phenomenon.   That would grease the skids for all sorts of unencyclopedic, moronic, flame-fest topics that are popular on Internet forums to enter the Wikipedia supposedly as meta-topics.   Canon versus Nikon wouldn't be about Canon versus Nikon, but rather about the widespread discussion of Canon versus Nikon on the Internet.  Yankees suck, Red Sox rule wouldn't be about whether the Yankees suck and the Red Sox rule, but rather about the widespread discussion on the Internet of this subject.  And so forth.  Just because the Internet is filled with crud should not mean that we start filling up the Wikipedia with it.  Not a good development.  --BM 16:06, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Martg76 17:03, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's not exactly like apples and oranges. Both shows are about the same thing, so it makes sense to attempt to compare them. They just happen to use different terminology, making an objective comparison difficult, if not impossible.   — J I P | Talk 10:30, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article covers the debate, which is lame and nerdy but notable. As far as I know there is no notable "apples vs. oranges" or "Digimon vs. Pokemon" debate. -- Demi 12:37, 2005 Feb 27 (UTC)
 * Keep. And I support Differences Between Pokémon and Digimon too. --Waninoco 21:40, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article is actually fairly good. Jonathunder 22:29, 2005 Feb 27 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well written, keeps NPOV and is a notable subject. —Neuropedia 23:04, 2005 Feb 27 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not encyclopedic --Paraphelion 01:50, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep because Star Trek is obviously vastly superior to Star Wars in every way. Jayjg (talk) 21:41, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Let us not start another debate from this one, POV off. -- Riffsyphon1024 22:27, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Um, that was a joke. It's a silly debate, but the article seems encyclopedic. Jayjg (talk) 22:41, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Third opinion

Third opinion (3O) is a means to request an outside opinion in a content or sourcing disagreement between two editors. When two editors do not agree, either editor may list a discussion here to seek a third opinion. The third opinion process requires observance of good faith and civility from both editors during the discussion in order to be successful.

The less formal nature of the third opinion process is a major advantage over other methods of resolving disputes. For more complex disputes that involve more than two editors, or that cannot be resolved through talk page discussion, editors should follow the other steps in the dispute resolution process such as the dispute resolution noticeboard or request for comment.

How to list a dispute
Before making a request here, be sure that the issue has been thoroughly discussed on the article talk page. 3O is only for assistance in resolving disagreements that have come to a standstill. If no agreement can be reached on the talk page and only two editors are involved, follow the directions below to list the dispute. Otherwise, please follow other methods in the dispute resolution process such as the dispute resolution noticeboard or request for comment. 3O is usually flexible by allowing a few exceptions, like those involving mainly two editors with an extra editor having minimal participation. Further guidance is available in Third Opinion frequently asked questions.

It is recommended that the filing editor notify the second editor about the post here. If the second editor disagrees with this process, the first editor still has the right to receive a third opinion; however, since this is non-binding, the second editor is free to ignore the third opinion if they wish to.

In cases involving long discussions or topics requiring prior technical knowledge, editors are requested to present a short summary of the dispute, in plain English and preferably in a new subsection below the main discussion, so that 3O volunteers may find it easier to respond to.

Some disputes may involve editor conduct issues as well as issues regarding article content. In such cases, the third opinion request should be framed in terms of content issues, even if the conduct of an editor is also at issue. For disputes that are exclusively about an editor's conduct and are not related to a content issue, other forums may be more appropriate such as the administrators noticeboard. If in doubt, post your request here at third opinion and a neutral editor will help out.

Instructions
No discussion of the issue should take place here—this page is only for listing the dispute. Please confine discussion to the talk page where the dispute is taking place.

Follow these instructions to make your post:
 * Edit the following "Active disagreements" section on this page to begin a new entry in the section. Your entry should be at the end of the list if there are other entries, and the first character should be a # symbol to create a numbered list. This preserves the numbering and chronological order of the list.
 * Your entry should contain the following:
 * a section link to a section on the article's talk page dedicated to the 3O discussion.
 * a brief neutral description of the dispute—no more than a line or two—without trying to argue for or against either side. Take care (as much as possible) to make it seem as though the request is being added by both participants.
 * a date, but no signature. You can add the date without your name by using five tildes . (Note: your name will still be shown in your contributions and the page edit history.)
 * Be sure to provide a notification of your request on the page where the dispute is occurring.

Requests are subject to being removed from the list if no volunteer chooses to provide an opinion within six days after they are listed below. If your dispute is removed for that reason (check the to see the reason), please feel free to re-list your dispute if you still would like to obtain an opinion—indicate that it's been re-listed in your entry. If removed a second time due to no volunteer giving an opinion, please do not relist again.

If you are a party to a dispute and another party has requested an opinion it is improper for you to remove or modify the request, even if the request does not meet the requirements for a third opinion or because you do not want a Third Opinion. If you feel that the request does not meet the requirements for a third opinion and should be removed, post a request on the Third Opinion talk page to be evaluated by an uninvolved volunteer.

Feedback
Respondents appreciate feedback about the outcome of the dispute, either on the article's talk page or on their own talk page. We want to know whether the outcome was positive or not, helping us to maintain and improve the standards of our work. If a respondent's third opinion was especially helpful or wise, you might want to consider awarding your message on their user talk page. It can also be given once for diligent service to this project which is generally any volunteer who has more than 50 edits to this page. For more information see its documentation and Third opinion/Service award log.

Providing third opinions
When providing a third opinion, please remove the listing from this page before you provide your third opinion. Doing so prevents other volunteers from duplicating your effort. Please mention in the edit summary how many disputes remain. Example of summary message: 5 items remain on the list

 * Third opinions must be neutral. If you have had dealings with the article or with the editors involved in the dispute that would bias your response, do not offer a third opinion on that dispute.
 * Read the arguments of the disputants.
 * Do not provide opinions recklessly. Remember that Wikipedia works by consensus, not a vote. In some cases both sides may have presented valid arguments, or you may disagree with both. Provide the reasoning behind your argument.
 * Provide third opinions in the relevant section of the disputed article talk pages following the discussion of the dispute. Sign your comments with four tildes, like so: ~.
 * Write your opinion in a civil and nonjudgmental way.
 * Unless there's a clearly urgent problem, don't make immediate article-content changes of your own which affect the ongoing discussion.
 * Consider keeping pages on which you have given a third opinion on your watchlist for a few days. Often, articles listed here are watched by very few people.
 * If it's not clear what the dispute is, put {{subst:third opinion|your_username}} on the talk page of the article. This template will post sections for the disputing editors to summarize their opinions.
 * For third opinion requests that do not follow the instructions above, it is possible to alert the requesting party to that fact by employing uw-3o.

Use template
{{subst:3OR}} {{subst:3ORshort}}
 * The 3OR template is handy for providing a third opinion on the talk page. For a shorter alternative, 3ORshort can also be used. Usage (either):

Declining requests
If you remove a dispute from the list for any reason, it is good practice to also leave a message on the dispute talk page explaining what you have done. The message should have the following characteristics:
 * It should be civil and assume the request was made in good faith.
 * It should explain why the request was declined (e.g. "There are too many people involved already.")
 * It should suggest alternatives (e.g. "Perhaps you should try WP:Requests for Comment, the dispute resolution noticeboard, the talk page of a Wikiproject or one of the other WP:Dispute resolution options.")

Volunteers
Active contributors who watchlist the page, review disputes, and update the list of active disagreements with informative edit summaries, are welcome to add themselves to the Category:Wikipedians willing to provide third opinions. If you support this project you may wish to add the User Third opinion userbox to your user page, which automatically adds you to this category.

Angelo Di Livio

Angelo Di Livio (born 26 July 1966) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder and wing-back. He represented several Italian clubs in Serie A throughout his career, coming to prominence with Juventus, where he won several domestic and international titles. At international level he also played for the Italy national side in two FIFA World Cups and two UEFA European Championships, reaching the final of UEFA Euro 2000.

During his playing career he was known as soldatino (toy soldier) or soldatino Di Livio, a nickname his Juventus teammate at the time Roberto Baggio gave him because of Di Livio's diminutive stature, posture, and characteristic way of running up and down the flank.

Club career
Born in Rome, Di Livio began his career with Roma in 1984. Having failed to make an appearance in his only season for the club, Di Livio played for Reggiana (1985–86), Nocerina (1986–87), Perugia (1987–89), Padova (1989–93), Juventus (1993–99) and Fiorentina (1999–2005).

His tireless running and quality crossing made him an important element in the dominant Juventus starting lineup from 1993 to 1999, during one of the most successful periods in the club's history. With Juventus, he won three scudetti (Italian A League; 1995, 1997, 1998) and one Champions League title (1996), in addition to two Italian Supercups (1995, 1997), a Coppa Italia, an UEFA Supercup (1996), and an Intercontinental Cup (1996); he also reached the final of the 1994–95 UEFA Cup.

In 1999, he moved to Fiorentina, where he captained the team to win the Coppa Italia during the 2000–01 season. In 2002, when AC Fiorentina went bankrupt and was reborn as Florentia Viola in Serie C2, Di Livio showed his dedication by being the only player to stay with the team, as he played through the depths of Italian football on the climb back to Serie A in 2004, finally retiring after the conclusion of the 2004–05 Serie A season.

International career
Di Livio was capped 40 times for Italy. He played for Italy at Euro 96, the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Euro 2000 (where Italy finished in 2nd place), and the 2002 FIFA World Cup. His first cap came on 6 September 1995 against Slovenia; his last on 18 June 2002 against South Korea. At Euro 1996, he set-up Pierluigi Casiraghi's first goal in the team's 2–1 win in the opening group match against Russia. For Italy, he was often used as a holding player to shut down games when the team was ahead, thus sealing the win.

After retirement
After retiring, Di Livio worked as a coach in the A.S. Roma Youth System (Allievi "Coppa Lazio").

Style of play
A quick, experienced, energetic, combative, reliable, and tactically versatile player, Di Livio was usually deployed on the right wing, although he was capable of playing on either flank, as either a wide midfielder, or as a full-back or wing-back, courtesy of his ability with either foot; he was also capable of playing in the centre, as a box-to-box or defensive midfielder, or even in defence. Although he was not the most naturally talented or skilled footballer from a technical standpoint, he was a highly consistent, intelligent, and disciplined player, who was known for his pace, stamina, work-rate, and strength, despite his diminutive stature. He also stood out for his tenacity, mentality, professionalism, man-marking ability, and crossing accuracy, as well as his ability to make attacking runs down the flank, but also track back, which enabled him to cover the wing effectively, and have a successful career.

Personal life
Angelo's son, Lorenzo, is also a footballer; a Roma youth product, he currently plays for Latina. His daughter, Alessia, is an electronic music producer and DJ, performing under the name ADIEL.

Endorsements
As one of the most popular footballers from his generation, Di Livio has kept his public influence and positive reputation till today. In 2011, Angelo Di Livio was named as "Brand ambassador" for SKS365's brand planetwin365.

Deeping St James

Deeping St James is a large village in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish (including Frognall) was reported as 7,051 at the 2011 census.

History
Based around a now lost 12th-century Benedictine Priory, destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Grade I listed Anglican church of St James is the largest church in The Deepings. It is a mixture of Norman, Early English and Perpendicular styles, with a tower and spire added in 1717. The stones from the priory were used to build various 17th-century buildings in the area.

The village also has an 18th-century village lock-up, constructed on the site and with the materials from a 15th-century wayside cross.

In the 17th century the manor was associated with the Wymondsold family of Welbeck Place, Putney, Surrey and East Lockinge, Berks.

St James Deeping railway station, built by the Great Northern Railway Company in 1848, was closed in 1964.

Although the separate cut for the Stamford Canal did not start until upstream of Market Deeping, Briggin's lock (or the Deeping High lock) was an important part of the Welland Navigation, and is still in place but is not navigable.

Geography
Deeping St James lies 1 mi east from Market Deeping, to which it is conjoined, and on the River Welland, at the centre of rich sedimentary agricultural land on the B1166 and B1162 roads. With a population of 6,923 in 2,837 households, it is the largest of The Deepings parishes. It falls within the drainage basin of the Welland and Deepings Internal Drainage Board.

Community
The parish church of St James is part of the Elloe West Deanery of the Diocese of Lincoln. The 2013 incumbent is The Reverend Sonia Marshall. There is also the Catholic church of Our Lady and St Guthlac, and a Methodist and two Baptist chapels. With St Guthlac's church in Market Deeping, these comprise the Churches Together in Deeping group.

The Deepings School, the main secondary school for the Deepings area, is located on Park Road. The school is next to the former Deepings Leisure Centre which permanently closed down in 2021.

The village has three public houses, Chinese restaurants and takeaways, a pizza restaurant, garage, home care provider, bakery/tea room, a garden railway specialist, and three computer systems companies.

Resident at Deeping St James is three-time BDO World Champion and three-time World Masters darts champion Martin Adams. In 2015 he was granted the freedom of Deeping St James by the local parish council. Composer Philip Spratley is also a resident.

Sport
A short lived greyhound racing track was opened at the rear of Bundle Farm on 13 June 1931. The racing was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club) and was known as a flapping track, which was the nickname given to independent tracks. Racing was every Tuesday and Saturday.

Jack Flanders

Jack Flanders, full name Jonathan L. Flanders, is the protagonist of a series of audio dramas produced by the ZBS Foundation. He is the creation of writer and sound artist Thomas Lopez and is played by actor Robert Lorick.

Jack is an adventurer who travels the Earth, exploring both familiar physical places and a metaphysical land called the Invisible Realms. His character adapts as the story requires, ranging from a bumbling fool to a competent and professional detective into spiritual mysteries. Well-versed in the occult, folklore, primitive magic and various mystic phenomena, he is able to withstand most reality-altering experiences and generally has an open mind towards all things.

Appearance and character
Being a character of audio drama, his physical appearance is not entirely clear, but he is depicted with blond hair in the CD cover art and is now in his late 60s or early 70s, having attended college in the late '60s. In Tropical Hot Dog Night (2007), his friend Claudine describes him as "six-foot-two with blond hair.". In Somewhere Next Door to Reality, a shop assistant says that he resembles the French poet Jacques Prévert. As the nephew of those adventurers from a past age, Lord and Lady Jowls, Jack is somewhat of a man out of time, dressing in a white suit and Panama hat. On at least two occasions he's obliged to wear a pith helmet and other adventurer's garb. On another, he promises to wear an ascot tie, which he presumably had with him.

He attended the University of California, Berkeley in the late '60s, although it is not known what he studied. He loves coffee and likes to sample the local brews during his adventures. He frequently drinks beer but seldom wine or spirits (he does drink port in one episode of The Fourth Tower of Inverness and rum in The Mystery of Jaguar Reef). He may have smoked during his student days ("not since I read the Surgeon General's report," he says in The Fourth Tower of Inverness), and in Moon Over Morocco is able to provide a cigarette to a Moroccan, possibly implying that he smoked then, but now he has some difficulty tolerating the presence of people who smoke. On one occasion, at least, while living in London prior to the first adventure (The Fourth Tower of Inverness), he swallowed hashish ("purely by accident") and saw a unicorn as a result. In Moon Over Morocco, he says that he meditates and never uses any drugs. He doesn't exercise. For a "few years", he says in Return to Inverness, he was a vegetarian but gave it up. "You have to have the right body type to be a good vegetarian," rejoins chef Wham-Bam Shazam.

His business card reads "What appears to be coming at you is coming from you." He first heard this motto in Brazil during the Dreams of Rio story. As to why he chose this for his business card, he explains in Dreams of Sumatra, "I heard it. I liked it. I had it printed."

Romance
He is clearly very attractive to women, and his adventures usually include some romance. Beyond a rare kiss, no physical contact with any woman is ever depicted, and romantic feelings are implied rather than stated. Usually, the women seem to be more interested in him than he is in them. In Dreams of India, he pursues a woman, Kamala Shukla, without success. Besides Madonna Vampyra, who appears in The Fourth Tower of Inverness and Return to Inverness, Claudine (a woman from another plane of existence who first appears in Somewhere Next Door to Reality) is his only love interest of his who appears in more than one adventure story.

In Midnight at the Casa Luna, two of the characters refer to Jack's relationship with an Ifrit, Layla Oolupi, which ended badly. Layla appears to Jack during Moon Over Morocco and plays a small but helpful role in his journey. However, in Do That in Real Life? Jack says that he first encountered Layla at Woodhenge, an event alluded to in Moon Over Morocco as occurring in a dream/vision of their past shared life. Lady Jowls suggests in The Fourth Tower of Inverness that many of the characters in the series have known each other in past incarnations and are destined to move through time together. Whenever the relationship with the Ifrit does occur, it is between stories and we only ever hear references to it. There is a malevolent Oolupi in The Fourth Tower of Inverness who almost succeeds in seducing Jack. When she fails, she tries to drown him in a lake of her tears.

Finances
Jack's finances are something of a mystery. When he is introduced, he does not appear to have wealth, but he is able to travel around the world well enough. He lives principally in an apartment in New York and later inherits the mansion and estate of Inverness, so a good deal of family money can be assumed. In Dreams of Sumatra it is mentioned that his previous adventures have been published - Carlos Castaneda style.

Character phases
The Jack Flanders stories can be divided into distinct phases. Initially there is the Cosmic Tourist phase which makes up the first four adventures. These are principally concerned with Jack's explorations and adventures in the Invisible Realms. In these tales he is largely on his own and survives on his wit, luck, charm and the ability to always present a moving target.

This is followed by the Jungle Jack phase, stories that are largely grounded in 'reality' but with various supernatural or other-worldly intrusions. The settings for these stories are spread out across the globe but they are all tropical - the Amazon, Rio, India, Bali, Sumatra, Belize, Costa Rica. For the majority of them Jack is still on his own; only in the last few is he joined by Mojo Sam who then becomes a permanent companion in subsequent adventures. Usually it is Mojo who calls upon Jack to join him and help with a particularly tricky problem (although Jack calls on Mojo in the Return to Inverness).

There is a brief return to the Cosmic Tourist for Midnight at the Casa Luna and Return to Inverness both of which are closely related to the original story - one borrows significantly and the other is a straight sequel.

After a final adventure as Jungle Jack we move into a French theme and the Cul-de-sac Jack phase. These stories bring in two further companions – Claudine and Dominique. With the core group growing, the stories become more of an ensemble effort with Jack taking a less assertive and more bumbling role, often being the butt of jokes, especially from Dominique who frequently launches into political diatribe.

An occasional but recurring theme is that of Captain Jack. It first appears in The Incredible Adventures of Jack Flanders where he does indeed become captain of the Blue Swallow. In The Mystery of Jaguar Reef, Captain Coco frequently refers to him as Captain Jack, saying that it feels right to do so. But it's not until we move out of the Cul-de-sac Jack phase at the end of the 'Travelling Jack' sub-series, that we enter a new sub-series of adventures for Captain Jack - 'The Fantastic Voyages of Captain Jack Flanders'. He, Mojo, Claudine and Dominique sail between islands in the tropics encountering ever more mysterious and other-worldly happenings.

Broadcast history
The early stories were broadcast on college radio stations and on NPR during the 1970s and 1980s. Currently, they are sold directly on CD and as mp3 downloads via the ZBS Foundation website.

Jack Flanders story episodes are regularly featured on Mike Watt's The Watt from Pedro Show podcast.

Characters
The following characters have prominent or recurring roles in the Jack Flanders series.
 * Jack Flanders, the hero of the stories, is an adventurer into the Invisible Realms and investigator of strange and mysterious events. People with unusual problems seek his very special type of metaphysical help.
 * Little Frieda, a Venusian who is a million and a half years old, looks like a little human girl with large pigtails and no pupils in her eyes. She smokes large Havana cigars, and can see thought forms.  When in danger, her pigtails stand on end. She appears in Moon Over Morocco as "Little Flossic, the child of magick", the words "Flossic" and "Magick" accented on the second syllable.  In this adventure Jack addresses her as "Flossi".  Little Frieda is played by P. J. Orte (though credited as Spooner Duffy in Moon Over Morocco), who also hosts the science fiction series Stars and Stuff, produced by ZBS ("Hi, I'm P. J. Orte, back again with science fiction fantasy stories, some long, some short.")
 * Mojo Sam the Yoodoo Man, an expatriate American, Mojo Sam discovered his roots in Morocco where he studied a mixture of yoga and voodoo. He is a native of Philadelphia and later returned to the US and accompanied Jack Flanders on many adventures.
 * Kasbah Kelly, an American expatriate who owns a bar in Tangier. Although Mojo Sam is a professional pianist and travels around the world working in cafes, bars, and clubs, Kelly is one of only two employers we meet.  Kelly arranges Jack's trip to Africa and is his guide to Morocco.  He narrates Moon Over Morocco (the only Jack Flanders adventure narrated by a character within the story). Although he is a principal character in this adventure and is alluded to in later adventures, he never recurs.  Kelly is fond of adages and gets into a bit of a contest with Mojo, the two of them quipping increasingly esoteric sayings back and forth.  At the beginning of Moon Over Morocco Kelly warns us that not all of what he is going to tell us will necessarily be true.
 * Dr. Marlin Mazoola, an alchemist of the first order, Dr. Mazoola is a classic mad scientist whose quest for alchemical knowledge often brings about great danger.
 * The Madonna Vampyra, an "energy vampire", but also the queen of the "Lotus Land", which can be accessed through The Fourth Tower of Inverness. She is the first of the serious love interests for Jack Flanders. She appears in the original Inverness serial, as well as Return to Inverness, in which it is revealed that she has hardly aged over the intervening years, whereas Jack, a mortal, has. She is played by Laura Esterman, who plays a number of characters throughout the Flanders series and Ruby the Galactic Gumshoe, in the serial of that name, also released by ZBS Media.
 * Old Far-Seeing Art, an expert in the technique of sending one's consciousness out into the body of animals and viewing the world through their eyes. He was once a miner ("in the days of ore") and considers himself a cowboy - especially when Chief Wampum is around.
 * Chief Wampum, originally from India. He moved to Inverness in reaction to all the people who were coming to India to study with gurus and take an Indian name, he decided to come to the west and take a western name: Chief Wampum Stompum. He's known to have authored a book on how to fly "fromborks" and also helps Jack to access the plane where the fabled city of the Ah-Ha's dwells.

Agios Dimitrios

Agios Dimitrios (Greek: Άγιος Δημήτριος meaning Saint Dimitrios, before 1928: Μπραχάμι - Brahami ) is a town in Attica, Greece, and a suburb in the southern part of the Athens agglomeration.

Geography
Agios Dimitrios is situated 5 km south of Athens city centre, and 4 km from the Saronic Gulf coast. The municipality has an area of 4.949 km2. Vouliagmenis Avenue connects it with central Athens and the southern suburbs. The suburb is connected with Line 2 of the Athens Metro through Agios Dimitrios metro station.

Climate
Agios Dimitrios has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification: Csa), bordering on a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification: BSh). Agios Dimitrios experiences hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters.

History
The settlement developed around the church of Ag. Dimitrios was the original web of the village of Brahami during the interwar period.

In the Turkish occupation, but also after the liberation, all Alimos, and not only, was a vast estate. His beginning was in St. John the Kareah and extended to Kavouri. The area, including the agricultural village, belonged to Braham Pasha - by which Aghios Dimitrios is also called Brahami - and to Hassan Pasha, which came from the name Hassani. All this property was divided into parcels, which the municipality of Athens, to which it belonged, donated or sold. This resulted in the creation of various settlements.

The Community of Brahami was founded in 1925. Until then the village of Brahami belonged to the municipality of Athens. By Decree of 1925, Brahami was administered autonomously by the Athenian municipality and was a community comprising the settlements of Brahami, Agia Varvara, Katsipodi (Dafni today), Pikrodafni and Agios Kosmas. In 1928 the community was renamed Aghios Dimitrios. It was converted into a municipality of Aghios Dimitrios, which was based in Daphne in 1942.

In 1947, with the Decree issued on September 5, 1947, the settlement of Aghios Dimitrios was seized by the Municipality of Dafni and formed into a separate homonymous community, which included exclusively Brahami. The final adjustment was made in 1963, when the then Home Secretary G. Rallies on 15 March approved the conversion of the Community of Aghios Dimitrios into a homonymous municipality, as it is today.

Sports
The most important clubs based in Aghios Dimitrios is the football club Agios Dimitrios F.C. ,Thyella Agiou Dimitriou and the basketball club Cronus Agios Dimitrios.

Ben Youssef Madrasa

The Ben Youssef Madrasa (مدرسة ابن يوسف; also transliterated as Bin Yusuf or Ibn Yusuf Madrasa ) is an Islamic madrasa (college) in Marrakesh, Morocco. The madrasa is named after the adjacent Ben Youssef Mosque, and was commissioned in 1564–65 CE by the Saadian sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib. Functioning today as a historical site, the Ben Youssef Madrasa was the largest Islamic college in the Maghreb at its height, and is widely recognized as a pinnacle of Saadian and Moroccan architecture.

History
The madrasa is named after the adjacent Ben Youssef Mosque, which was originally the main mosque of the city, founded by the Almoravid Sultan Ali ibn Yusuf (r. 1106–1142 CE).

According to historical sources, in particular al-Ifrani, the first madrasa on this site was founded during the Marinid dynasty by Sultan Abu al-Hasan (r. 1331–1348). This dynasty, known for its perpetuation of the arts and literature, ruled from Fez during the 13th to 15th centuries and was responsible for constructing many madrasas across Morocco. Historically, madrasas in the Maghreb served to train ulama (Islamic scholars) in Maliki Islamic law, jurisprudence (fiqh), and variant readings (Qira'at) of the Qur'an.

The Saadian dynasty, which enjoyed the status of sharifs (descendants of Muhammad), were less dependent on the construction of madrasas to sustain their legitimacy and the support of the ulama than their Marinid predecessors. Nonetheless, they build many new monuments, including madrasas, in their capital of Marrakesh.

The Ben Youssef Madrasa was constructed by the Saadian sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib (r. 1557–1574 CE), a major builder of his period. Its construction probably began soon after he assumed power. It was completed in 1564–1565 CE (972 AH), as recorded by an inscription, following a style established during the earlier Marinid period. Once finished, it was the largest madrasa in the Maghreb. It was reportedly able to accommodate upwards of 800 students.

Closed down in 1960, the building was refurbished and reopened to the public as a historical site in 1982. The Ben Youssef Madrasa currently attracts thousands of tourists every year and remains one of the most important historical buildings in Marrakesh. It closed for restoration again in November 2018 and reopened to the public in April 2022.

Layout
The madrasa's floor plan occupies a nearly square space measuring approximately 40 by 43 meters. The building is entered from a single street entrance, in front of which is a square vault sculpted with muqarnas. From the doorway, a narrow corridor leads to a vestibule chamber that gives access on one side to the central courtyard. This process of entry, like in many Islamic buildings, is carefully designed to inspire revelation and astonishment in an unexpected opening of space into the main courtyard. The layout of the building centers around the main courtyard, which is surrounded by east and west galleries and student dormitories on the upper and lower levels. Like many Islamic buildings, the courtyard is itself centered around a large shallow reflective pool, measuring approximately 3 by 7 meters. At the southeastern end of the courtyard is another large chamber which served as a prayer hall, equipped with a mihrab (niche symbolizing the direction of prayer) featuring especially rich stucco decoration.

As in classic Marinid madrasas constructed during the century, the layout of the Ben Youssef madrasa contains student dormitory cells clustered around the first and second levels of the central courtyard. The madrasa's vestibule chamber gives access to two secondary corridors that circulate around the courtyard to give access to the dormitories on the ground floor, while two stairways from the vestibule give access to similar corridors on the second level. The dorm rooms are additionally arranged around a series of six small courtyards (three in the northeast wing, three in the southwest wing) which open on both levels from these corridors. Together, the madrasa consisted of 130 student rooms and housed up to 800 students; making it the largest madrasa in Morocco.

On the ground floor, the eastern corridor from the vestibule also gives access to an ablutions chamber in the northeastern corner of the building. The chamber has a square floor plan with four marble columns upholding four arches below a central cupola of muqarnas (similar to the one in front of the madrasa's entrance). The middle of the chamber is occupied by a square water basin, while a series of latrine rooms are accessible around the chamber's perimeter. Notably, it was also in this chamber that an 11th-century marble basin from Cordoba was first noted by Jean Gallotti (a historical arts inspector working for the French Protectorate) in 1921.

Ornamentation
The ornamentation of the Ben Youssef Madrasa derives closely from that of earlier Moroccan and Andalusi architecture, which makes use of pools, gardens, fountains, and surfaces covered in zellij (mosaic tilework) and intricately carved stucco and wood. In particular, the decorative arrangement follows the architectural traditions established in earlier Marinid madrasas: zellij tiling is used along lower walls, calligraphic friezes are generally present at eye-level, and the middle and upper areas of the walls are covered in stucco decoration before transitioning into wooden elements, including ornately-carved eaves. The arches of the ground-floor galleries in the courtyard also have stucco consoles supporting carved wooden lintels that bridge the distances between each pier. The main central courtyard of the madrasa communicates a strong visual experience for visitors and students via these embellishing elements and their symmetrical arrangement. This courtyard is entered from the vestibule via a wooden screen (mashrabiyya) under a monumental archway which is itself decorated with carved stucco. Although the student cells that surround the courtyard have little to no interior decorative elements, the small secondary courtyards that grant access to them do bear some stucco and wooden decoration. The motifs carved into wood and stucco include traditional elements such as arabesques, sebka (or dark wa ktaf), calligraphic inscriptions, and muqarnas, as well as more distinctly Saadian-era motifs such as pine cones.

The street entrance of the madrasa is overlooked by an elaborate muqarnas (stalactite or honeycomb-like sculpting) vault in front of the doorway, while another muqarnas cupola is found in the ablutions chamber. The doors of the madrasa are plated with bronze forming an interlacing geometric pattern and enhanced with shallow carved arabesque motifs. The cedar wood lintel above the doors is carved with an Arabic inscription on an arabesque background. The inscription names and praises Sultan Abdallah as the builder of the madrasa. Numerous other inscriptions are also found throughout the building on various surfaces, often consisting of Qur'anic verses. The large Kufic inscription around the arch of the mihrab, for example, includes the basmala and the tasliyya followed by verse 36 and the beginning of verse 37 from the Surah an-Nur.

Andalusi marble basin
On display in the madrasa today is an elaborately carved marble basin from the Caliphate era of Cordoba (in present-day Spain). It was crafted at Madinat al-Zahra between 1002 and 1007 to serve as ablutions basin and was dedicated to 'Abd al-Malik, the son of al-Mansur, and was one of a series. It was previously kept at the Ben Youssef Madrasa for centuries and was first noted by experts in 1923. Scholar Mariam Rosser-Owen has suggested that the basin was originally imported to Marrakesh by Ali Ibn Yusuf, who incorporated a number of marble spolia from the ruined palaces of Cordoba in the Ben Youssef Mosque that he built in the 12th century. The basin would have then been re-used again for the Ben Youssef Madrasa, which was built in the same area much later, after the mosque had fallen into neglect. In the 20th century, the basin was removed for study and was housed until recently at the Dar Si Said Museum. After the recent restoration of the madrasa and the reorganization of the Dar Si Said Museum, the basin has been moved again and is now on display in the prayer hall of the madrasa.

 * Screenshots, title and all the ships.

 * It is. The first two kanji, at the least, are fairly noticeable. Elm-39 - T/C 19:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

This page has "Designer" listed as Atlus, which is clearly wrong. Either this should read Cave, which is kind of redundant, or maybe Junya Inoue. Which should it be? Or should it just be removed? ReK 07:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Took the freedom to remove it. --elias.hc 12:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Unless my sources are incorrect, the designer was Tsuneki Ikeda. Junya designed/directed ESP Ra.De. though. Elm-39 - T/C 19:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

One thing I've noticed is that the Type A fighter seems to move faster than the other two, I suppose to make up for the lower screen coverage its weapon has. In DonPachi it seems a lot more noticeable, since the ships in that game move so slow... Is this true or am I craaaazy? - 17:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.175.230.36 (talk)
 * You are correct. Red is the fastest, blue is the slowest, and green is somewhere in the middle. In my opinion, it WAS more noticeable in DonPachi, especially for the blue ship. That's why I don't like playing as the blue ship in either game, as well as the fact that the blue ship has too much range for DDP; maybe DP, but DDP needs precise aim or the entire run is ruined. That's why I prefer the red ship (or more recently, the green ship). Elm-39 - T/C 19:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Cowa!

Cowa! (stylized as COWA!) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. It was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1997 to 1998, with the fourteen chapters collected into a single tankōbon volume. The story follows the child monsters Paifu, José and Arpon, and the human Maruyama, as they travel to get medicine to save their town from a deadly flu. Viz Media released the single volume in North America in July 2008. Cowa! was generally well-received by critics, and was nominated for the 2009 Eisner Award for Best Publication for Kids.

Plot
Paifu, a mischievous monster boy, lives in harmony with his friend José and rival Arpon. This tranquil village life is interrupted by the spread of a Monster Flu (お化け風邪), which kills monsters within a month. The doctor reveals that the cure can be created by a witch that resides at the top of Horned-Owl Mountain. Due to the adult monsters being sick, Paifu, José and Arpon volunteer to make the trip with the help of Maruyama, a human who lives near the town and is widely feared due to rumors that he killed a man. Paifu tricks him by telling him that the town will pay him a million yen in exchange for his accompaniment. During the trip, the children encounter several thugs, whom Maruyama easily defeats, and they soon learn that this is a former sumo wrestler.

In the last village before reaching the mountain, Maruyama stops to buy food. At that moment, Paifu witnesses an assault on an old man and stops the assailant. As they are about to reach Mount Owl, Arpon suddenly falls ill. Their search for someone to take care of him leads them to the family of the man who was assaulted, who gladly agree to take care of Arpon. When the group reaches the forest around the mountain, they encounter Baroaba, whom they manage to defeat when Paifu learns to whistle, the monster's weakness. When Baroaba realizes that they are going to see the witch, he helps them reach her house. Before entering they are greeted by the witch's servant, an oni named Leonardo, who grants them entry only after they answer a riddle. The group retrieves the medicine and begins their descent down the mountain, during which Maruyama accidentally slips and falls; Paifu narrowly saves his life by learning to fly.

On the way back, Maruyama is disappointed to learn that Paifu lied about the monetary reward, but decides that Paifu's rescue was sufficient compensation. The group's return is heralded with a party, but Maruyama leaves, claiming not to enjoy such activities. Paifu takes the opportunity to explain to everyone what has happened, and together they manage to fix an old ghost ship to present to Maruyama, fulfilling his wish to obtain one with the promised money.

Characters

 * Paifu (パイフー)
 * Paifu is a half-vampire half-werekoala. When he observes any cross-like figure for more than three seconds, Paifu shapeshifts into a crazed and powerful were-koala and can only change back to his normal state after looking at a round object. Despite being part vampire, he can not fly because he skipped flying practice.

 * José Rodriguez (ホセ・ロドリゲス)
 * José is a ghost that can fly, turn invisible and change shape.

 * Mako Maruyama (丸山真虎)
 * Maruyama is an overweight human feared by even the monsters in town. He was a sumo wrestler with the ringname "The Volcano" (活火山) until killing an opponent during a match. Paifu gives him the nickname "Makoleen" (マコリン).

 * Arpon (アーポン)
 * Arpon is a monster boy the constantly challenges Paifu to fights and loses.

 * Doctor (お化けの医者)
 * The old and forgetful doctor of Batwing Ridge.

 * Baroaba (バロアバ)
 * The monster that lives in the forest at the foot of Horned-Owl Mountain. He is large with a rubber-like body, unless he hears whistling, in which case he shrinks and loses the rubber-like property.

 * Leonardo (レオナルド)
 * The assistant of the Witch on top of Horned-Owl Mountain. He either fights or gives a riddle to anyone trying to enter the Witch's house.

 * Witch (魔女)
 * Witch living on top Horned-Owl Mountain and maker of the medicine that heals Monster Flu.

Production
Cowa! has its origins in Bubul of Demon Village (魔人村のBUBUL), a one-shot Akira Toriyama drew for the revived Jump Readers' Cup competition in 1997. Toriyama, who had done only a few one-shots since finishing Dragon Ball in 1995, won handily; it was his first win since Pola & Roid took the top spot in 1981. After winning, Toriyama said he was thinking of creating a "more developed" form of Bubul of Demon Village. He re-tooled the character designs and setting of the one-shot to suit a new series, as detailed in the issue before Cowa!'s start.

Despite previously claiming to be done with weekly serials, Toriyama decided to draw Cowa! when he learned his editor would be Kazuhiko Torishima and that he could do things his own way. Unlike both Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball, where he never skipped an issue, he drew Cowa in a three-weeks-on, one-week-off pattern, which afforded him time to rest and work more slowly. Toriyama stated he wanted to draw everything himself, forgoing the customary use of an assistant, even though he had pain in his arm. The story came about from wanting to take a storybook type approach and have the main character be an "unlovable grumpy guy."

Release
Written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama, Cowa! was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from issue #48 of 1997 to #15 of 1998. The fourteen chapters were collected into one tankōbon volume that was released on May 1, 1998 by Shueisha.

Viz Media licensed Cowa! for English release in North America on July 1, 2008. Their graphic novel edition retained the first chapter in color. It has also been released in other countries, such as in France by Glenat, Spain by Planeta DeAgostini, South Korea by Daewon C.I. and Malaysia Comics House.

Reception
About.com's Deb Aoki listed Cowa! as the "Best New All Ages Manga" of 2008, calling it "clever and charming enough to entertain adults as well as younger readers." Anime News Network's Carl Kimlinger disagreed, claiming the plot is not complex enough to appeal to adults. He also wished Viz would have kept the other few chapters that were originally colored as such instead of just the first, as those particular ones were hard to follow in black and white. However, he wrote that "Makoleen's character elevates what might have been a simple children's adventure to a gentle fable about acceptance and understanding." and praised the humor. A.E. Sparrow of IGN gave the series an 8.6 out of 10 and referred to it as a "self-contained mini-epic." On the humor he said "the jokes come at you unapologetically and you're either going to catch them or write them off." Viz Media's English release of Cowa! was nominated for the Eisner Award for Best Publication for Kids in 2009.

Martin Birch

Martin Phillip Birch (27 December 1948 –9 August 2020) was a British music producer and sound engineer. He became renowned for engineering and producing albums recorded predominantly by British rock and metal bands, including Deep Purple, Rainbow, Fleetwood Mac, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden.

Biography
Birch was born on 27 December 1948 in Woking, Surrey. He began his career in music as an audio engineer with Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac and Deep Purple, producing and engineering eleven albums for the latter. In 1980, coming from the "Deep Purple camp", he was called upon by Black Sabbath for Heaven and Hell. The band's previous albums had been self-produced and they were happy to let Birch, who had worked with Ronnie James Dio before, produce them. His "bright midrange" on the album is especially noted. He began a long tenure working exclusively with Iron Maiden in 1981, producing and engineering Killers and retiring from working with other bands for a while.

Birch also produced and engineered albums for numerous artists. These included Deep Purple-related projects (Rainbow, Paice Ashton Lord, Whitesnake, Roger Glover, and Jon Lord), but also encompassed Wayne County & the Electric Chairs. On Fleetwood Mac's album Mystery to Me (1973) he is also credited playing acoustic guitar. The song "Hard Lovin' Man" from the Deep Purple album Deep Purple in Rock is dedicated to him: "For Martin Birch – catalyst".

Birch retired in 1992, after producing Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark album. It was the last of the ten records he produced with the group. He appeared in Iron Maiden's music video "Holy Smoke" two years before his retirement. Birch died on 9 August 2020, at age 71. The cause of death was undisclosed. Initial tributes were paid by David Coverdale and Geezer Butler. Members of Iron Maiden offered a lengthy tribute to Birch on their official website, with Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson and Rod Smallwood reflecting on his personality and his time working with the band.

Mavis Enderby

Mavis Enderby is a hamlet and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, 4.5 mi east from Horncastle.

History
An early reference may be seen in 1349 when both parts of the name appear to end in "by", i.e. Maleby Senderby A later spelling, 1430, may be "Malvyssh Enderby"

Literary references
Mavis Enderby had a peal of bells named after it, called The Brides of Enderby, which is mentioned in Jean Ingelow's poem The High Tide on the Coast of Lincolnshire 1571: in the poem, the ringing of the Enderby bells is the generally recognised signal of approaching danger to the neighbouring countryside: "Came down that kindly message free, the Brides of Mavis Enderby". An extract from the poem is at the head of Rudyard Kipling's short story, At the Pit's Mouth.

Douglas Adams used the name "Mavis Enderby" in his spoof The Meaning of Liff dictionary "of things that there aren't any words for yet". Adams assigned meanings to placenames based on what he imagined them to mean, Mavis Enderby, becoming "The almost-completely-forgotten girlfriend from your distant past for whom your wife has a completely irrational jealousy and hatred".

Mavis Enderby was also used as the name of a character in Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary.

St Michael's Church
The parish church is dedicated to St Michael. It is medieval (14th/15th centuries) with Victorian restorations by James Fowler in 1875 and C. Hodgson Fowler in 1894. It is built of greenstone rubble, with ashlar dressings and roofs in Welsh and Westmorland slate. A re-sited 11th-century Saxon grave slab stands in the doorway of the tower and a remnant of a 14th-century churchyard cross is located in the graveyard.
