Talk:Graphical timeline of the Big Bang

Graphical timeline of the Big Bang
Is the picture supposed to be labeled "logaritmic time"? Methinks not.

This picture looks nice, but it is rather bare in its description. There are large chunks of the graph listed in which nothing happens. Might it be better, perhaps, to split the picture into separate portions, with each portion linking to different area of the timeline of the Big Bang article? --Modemac 14:51, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * This is a fabulous depiction that may be overlooked by a lot of people who don't understand how to read it. Since it is a logarthmic scale, it really represents how long something happens. For example, inflation occurs over an epoch that's one hundred times the local age of the universe. This means that if inflation were scaled to our timeframe it would be occurring over a trillion years or so. The beauty of this time line is if you understand logarithmic scaling than you can get a feel for the immense amounts of time all of these processes took place over. This perspective gets obscured by people who think in absolute terms and rely on the first three minutes as a "short" period of time, when really it represented the majority of the universe's history. --ScienceApologist 16:23, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Epoch of Nucleosynthesis
Surely the epoch of nucleosynthesis is 100-300 s or so, as per Big Bang nucleosynthesis? Why is it being labelled as covering most of the first 300,000 years? Or is my brain melting again? --Bth

Can anyone explain how the elements were formed? Jake200493 (talk) 16:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

 * A lot of the descriptions of the epochs in their individual wiki pages are inconsistent with the timeline here. This ought to be ironed out.  --207.171.180.101 21:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Timeline voodoo
Wow, I just made some epochs into links, no actual text edits, and now all looks more compressed and distorted. :-S I wish I knew how the <timeline> tags actually worked, or at least why it turned into that from making text into simple links. -- 213.113.67.150 03:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * A while back an admin made a change to the way the text is generated on the timelines so now whenever they are created the text (especially inline links) isn't generated correctly.—Mike 02:16, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Scale
This scale is confusing. Why use "10*log time" rather than "log time"? E.g. the Planck epoch is at 10^-43 seconds, marked as "-430" on the scale. This would be less confusing if the scale was "-43". This is especially apparent because I followed a link from Timeline of the Big Bang. Axl 22:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree. I don't see any disadvantage to using log time. Gmarsden 23:51, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I think "10*log time" scale is used because the timeline feature does not allow bars or labels to be located at non-integer points on the scale (see ), and so a "log time" scale would mean that labels such as "one hour", "one year" etc. could not be placed accurately. If there is a work-round that still allows labels to be placed accurately, then I agree a "log time" scale would be clearer. Gandalf61 09:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

 * It seems to me that a lot of people are baffled to start with, myself included, and there is absolutely no difference whether we mark a point as 1 or 10, that is log 10 or 10*log 10. All the numbers marked are integers (mantissa=zero) and somebody ought to take the bull by the horn and change the scales! Gandalf61, you are authorised. The integer explanation does not sound right either, unless you count zero as an integer, because that appears in the present scale as well. Nobody can ever locate the label lines accurately. Accuracy depends on the width of your pencil nib. In any case, how can we argue about an hour when we are talking about eons? LouisBB (talk) 23:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Regretfully, I have to withdraw my comment (above), reconsidering and realising that there is indeed a programming problem which does not seem solvable. LouisBB (talk) 06:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

On 17th October 2006, an anonymous user noted that the label is misspelt "logaritmic". Can one of the graphics experts correct this, please? Axl 22:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Done. Gandalf61 21:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * RE the scale - can someone just put a strip of white covering up the labels on the scale? Its not an elegant solution, but it works.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.173.6.67 (talk) 22:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

The First Star
It is listed that the first star formed 100 million years after the Big Bang. I have a source from Space.com that says the first star formed 155 million years after the Big Bang, can we use this source.

 * See comment at Talk:Graphical timeline of the Stelliferous Era. Najro (talk) 18:46, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Possible error??
Currently says strong forces seperates from electronuclear at -360. Should be seperates from electroweak. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.177.70.5 (talk) 22:04, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Correction required
Having seen the latest Planck (spacecraft) pictures (see one below) it seems to me clear that our graphic is incorrect after around 380 000&nsbp years after near as we can get to zero time on a logarithmic scale from when time was born. Our diagram tells us that the universe was dark, and calls the period up to about 100 million years dark ages. The photos of Planck shows that from around 380 000&nsbp years photons were escaping freely, we were in a jumbled up mess, yes, but nothing like dark. Let us get updated by the experts. LouisBB (talk) 03:50, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Merge this article into Timeline of the Big Bang?
Any reason this article shouldn't be merged into Timeline of the Big Bang? There seems to be space in that article for the graphic. -- Chetvorno TALK 20:02, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Because it has a huge timeline section, that makes it hard to edit articles? Or that there are several such graphical timelines, like Graphical timeline from Big Bang to Heat Death ? Or Graphical timeline of the universe ? 70.24.248.211 (talk) 14:25, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

 * I agree that this timeline would be out of place in Chronology of the universe (formerly Timeline of the Big Bang), but isn't it redundant to Graphical timeline from Big Bang to Heat Death? What purpose does this article serve that isn't already covered by the larger graph? DoctorKubla (talk) 13:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Redshift/Scale factor
Hello! It would be nice if the redshift/the scale factor would be given as an additional time axis....dont you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.240.190.125 (talk) 18:22, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Merge to Graphical timeline from Big Bang to Heat Death
Isn't this article redundant to Graphical timeline from Big Bang to Heat Death? What purpose does this article serve that isn't already covered by the larger graph? I've said this already on this talk page, but this time I'm making it an official merge proposal. (I don't think a merge is actually necessary - a redirect would be more appropriate - but this is the best way of stimulating discussion.) DoctorKubla (talk) 13:40, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not the same - Heat Death is its own theory above and beyond big bang that is excepted.Moxy (talk) 23:47, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * But the graphs are the same. The graph on this page is exactly identical to the first half of the other graph, except with logarithmic time instead of double logarithmic time. DoctorKubla (talk) 07:19, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree but Heat death of the universe is just one of the possible outcomes of the end of the universe - in fact its one of the theories that currently does not hold to much merit. We could remove the big bang section and just leave the heat section....but we would need others to get involved as the article has been stable for so long in its current state.Moxy (talk) 17:54, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I see what you're saying now. You're right, a better solution would be to turn the other graph into a "Timeline of the Heat Death scenario". I'll see if I can get any consensus for that; either way, merging isn't the answer. I'll remove the tags. DoctorKubla (talk) 06:58, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

The Heat Death is a possible outcome for end of universe. However there are many possible outcomes beside that, so we can't merge these 2 unless these 2 theories are entirely dependent of one another. Byronchen150199 (talk) 06:47, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Arahath Mahinda Thero

The final -th in "Arahath" is used in this function only in Ceylonese English, to distinguish the purely dental t from the retroflex ("thick") one. In Indian English, however, and in Latin transliterations of Indo-Aryan languages, the same -th- combination is used to distinguish the aspirated t (which doesn't exist in modern Sinhalese) from the un-aspirated one. Since the final t of the word "arahat" is not aspirated, the spelling "arahath" is not recommendable outside Sri Lanka. See also the article in this Wikipedia "Arhat", which begins: 'An arhat (also arahat or arahant; Chinese: 阿羅漢, aluohan; Tibetan: dgra-bcom-pa; Jp. arakan) is a highly realized Buddhist practitoner. It literally means "foe destroyer".'

Also, "Mahinda" has here been written in the stem form, but "Thero" in the nominative form. I think this article should be moved to "Arahat Mahinda Thera", being the internationally common transliteration of the Pali form of his name. (In Sanskrit, it would be Arhat Mahendra Sthavira, but I have never seen that.) Gunnar Gällmo 14:52, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Datagram Transport Layer Security

Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) is a communications protocol providing security to datagram-based applications by allowing them to communicate in a way designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. The DTLS protocol is based on the stream-oriented Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol and is intended to provide similar security guarantees. The DTLS protocol datagram preserves the semantics of the underlying transport—the application does not suffer from the delays associated with stream protocols, but because it uses UDP or SCTP, the application has to deal with packet reordering, loss of datagram and data larger than the size of a datagram network packet. Because DTLS uses UDP or SCTP rather than TCP, it avoids the "TCP meltdown problem", when being used to create a VPN tunnel.

Definition
The following documents define DTLS:
 * from May 2008 for use with Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)
 * from March 2009 for use with Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP)
 * from May 2010 for use with Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) subsequently called DTLS-SRTP in a draft with Secure Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (SRTCP)
 * from January 2011 for use with Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) encapsulation
 * from April 2022 for use with User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

DTLS 1.0 is based on TLS 1.1, DTLS 1.2 is based on TLS 1.2, and DTLS 1.3 is based on TLS 1.3. There is no DTLS 1.1 because this version-number was skipped in order to harmonize version numbers with TLS. Like previous DTLS versions, DTLS 1.3 is intended to provide "equivalent security guarantees [to TLS 1.3] with the exception of order protection/non-replayability".

Applications

 * Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client uses TLS and invented DTLS-based VPN.
 * OpenConnect is an open source AnyConnect-compatible client and ocserv server that supports (D)TLS.
 * Cisco InterCloud Fabric uses DTLS to form a tunnel between private and public/provider compute environments.
 * ZScaler tunnel 2.0 uses DTLS for tunneling.
 * F5 Networks Edge VPN Client uses TLS and DTLS.
 * Fortinet's SSL VPN and Array Networks SSL VPN also use DTLS for VPN tunneling.
 * Citrix Systems NetScaler uses DTLS to secure UDP.
 * Web browsers: Google Chrome, Opera and Firefox support DTLS-SRTP for WebRTC. Firefox 86 and onward does not support DTLS 1.0.
 * Remote Desktop Protocol 8.0 and onwards.

Vulnerabilities
In February 2013 two researchers from Royal Holloway, University of London discovered a timing attack which allowed them to recover (parts of the) plaintext from a DTLS connection using the OpenSSL or GnuTLS implementation of DTLS when Cipher Block Chaining mode encryption was used.

Collanmore Island

Collanmore Island (from Irish: Collainn Mhór) is an island in Clew Bay, County Mayo, Ireland.

Features
One of the bigger islands in the bay, Collanmore was a base of Les Glénans, a non-profit sailing school. The base taught dinghy and catamaran sailing and sail-boarding. From Collanmore there are views of Croagh Patrick and the bay. It is accessed by boat from Rosmoney pier, a few kilometres from Westport, County Mayo. In 2022 there were 5 registered inhabitants of Collanmore Island.

Demographics
The table below reports data on Collanmore's population taken from Discover the Islands of Ireland (Alex Ritsema, Collins Press, 1999) and the Census of Ireland.

Talk:Transhumanism
I agree w some of your basic points, but want to caution you to avoid being overly provocative, or saying anything resembling a No personal attacks. I'd rather not se you get banned, you seem to be exactly the voice we needed on Talk:Transhumanism. Cheers, (Sam Spade | talk | contributions) 16:21, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Samspade, thank you kind Sir for providing your thoughts, help and concern. I will do my best to follow the rules and not make personal insults. I need you to come into play on transhumanism talk, as it looks like we finally hit a brick wall with loremaster as the hand he has been playing has been called out, but now he is being crabby and will not respond to me since I reduced his cards to semi-transparency. We have discovered that his version of transhumanism is mostly of quality, but the political agenda of it stinks to high heaven as bunk, excusatory, biased and agenda laden political nonsense. The Transhumanism article needs liberation from its political and pseudoscientific bias, regardless and despite the fact it is a quality article for the most part. It needs political cleaning, we need other people to step in and I need you to come in as a neutral judge to call this out. It would be nice if others did too, but I know those kinds of people are few and far between.

Transhumanism is about over coming human limitations using science and technology, you can even read the first paragraph on the article to see the intro definition I modified on the article which still stands today. The problem with the transhuman article is loremaster thinks eugenics, racism, racialism etc.. are not elements encompassed by transhumanism based on his claims that these elements are not humanistic and - even - not scientifically sound. He is obviously wrong; people should have the freedom of association and the right to choose their exclusive communities, friends, associates, breeding partners and politics. I don’t want to live under loremasters totalitarian transhuman regime.

We need a regime change. One that embraces freedom, not dogma.

If a group of jews, blacks, chinese, whites, greens, browns, yellows or reds, want to unite together and exclude others, practice exclusive selective breeding as they wish to become a vector toward something greater than themselves, they have the right to call themselves whatever they want whether: Black Transhumanists, Jewish Transhumanists etc…. While the WTA and extropy move into the minority of popularity. Stormfront.org has become a powerful ally in recruiting members for the cosmotheist transhumanist movement, and I dont think they should have the final say either if someday they (storm troopers) decide the WTA or Extropy are disputed Transhumanist movements. Heck NO! Stormfronters have no right to do this, just as much as loremaster has no right to say who isn’t a transhuman or call them disputed. I want a transhumanist movement that accepts all vectors, all variations, all view points, as long as they are about overcoming human limitations towards "better" and "higher' quality of life and existence. Higher evolution is not going to travel along one vector, but many vectors – this is the point that seems to be elusive for loremaster. This is loremasters brick wall that we finally hit. He answered my questions until we discovered the hand he is playing – an agenda. And for the record: Regardless, this goes for absolutely everyone, I sure as heck dont want transopianism (transtopia.org), prometheism, cosmotheism and futuregenerations (eugenics.net) which are the most popular and active transhuman group ultimately deciding what is and what is not transhumanism, just as much as I wouldn’t want the WTA or Extropy having the final say.

Despite the fact WTA throws these expensive conferences which attract small numbers, has its own blogs, articles etc… they are not the most popular, common, representative or dominating groups. Transhumanism is small movement of mostly cheerleaders on the sidelines waving their pom poms for future technologies, most of the movement is in the bleachers cheering, while most non-transhumanist scientists oblivious to the big picture do all the hard work. Directed higher evolution is what it’s all about, no one can say they or anyone aren’t transhumans because they disagree with their politics or views. Thus if people want to use racist genetic engineering as a means of being an elitist vector and transhuman group, no one has the right to say other wise or call them disputed. No one has the right to say they arent transhumanists - especially loremaster and his sidekick slimvirgin..

If a group of Jewish transhumanists, want to create an exclusive organization for jews which excludes non jews, and these same jews only want to enhance themselves using gene combinations commonly found in the jewish genepool, no one has the right to say they arent transhumanists or call them disputed transhumanists, just because they exclude non-jews. Exclusive separatist and racist genetic engineering which will be practiced by all races, religions and groups in the future, have the right to do it and no one is allowed to say otherwise. No one has the right to say they arent transhumanists - especially loremaster and his sidekick slimvirgin.

I have no personal insults or attacks against loremaster, I actually consider him a mildly intelligent person. I put him in the 120 to 130 IQ range. It is just that his political agenda comes through, it’s biased and wrong. He makes it seem like he is making a concession allowing these "disputed" transhumanist web sites to exist, but the "disputed" statement is a bunch of political non-sense. These organizations are 100% transhumanism all the way and actually considering I follow the transhumanist movement closely, I have noticed that the discussion forums of these groups are bigger, more active and growing faster than Extropy and wta combined. Doesn’t mean majority should rule.

What we need is a transhumanism article that isn’t biased with loremasters agenda, which involves throwing the “disputed” a bone. Those groups deserve full equality as transhumanist organizations. Dariodario 09:52, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

SlimVirgins Agenda
After carefully reading the contributions and additions slimvirgin has made on wikipedia, I have a precise and clear understanding of her religious affliation, gender, sexual orientation and political agenda. It is no surprise she has made an effort to censor prometheism as a current in transhumanism as prometheism represents something she doesnt like thus she made an effort to delete and censor it. She is neurotic, frustrated, immature and childish as an observation, not a personal insult or attack. A personal attack would be me using insults against her, not describing her personality traits which are preventing wikipedia from having quality information she does not like. She has an agenda and it shows.

Deleted from Transhumanism by SlimVirgin:

 * Prometheism. A religious philosophy synthesizing cosmotheism and transhumanism.

Talk:Beyrouth

Discussion from WP:RfD:

 * Beyrouth → Beirut This redirection is useless since the redirect name is juste "Beirut" written in french. Instead, I'll put a link to the french translation of the "Beirut" article. User:500LL (talk) 19:41, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC) 19:38, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * A link to a page in French isn't very useful for someone who only speaks/read English, right? I thought about leaving it pointing to Beirut, and adding something to the top of that page about how its name in French is "Beyrouth", but... where does that stop? Do we have to add the name of "Berlin" in every language known to man to the Berlin article? On the other hand, leaving it pointing to Beirut with no explanation isn't good either. Putting in some text of the form "Beyrouth is the name of Beirut in French" would be OK, but.... Do we then do the same for Londres and all the other foreign-language names of various cities? Sigh, no easy answer that I see, at least off the top of my head. Noel (talk) 20:08, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I vote to keep the redirect as it is. Beirut was under French rule for several decades. The French spelling, AFAIK, is still the most common spelling of the name used in Lebanon itslef (on road signs, etc.). So French is not an arbitrary language in this context (as, say, Spanish is to London). Keeping this redirect doesn't hurt. -- uriber 20:27, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Leave the redir alone - it catches a bunch of old refs, for instance from 1911EB articles. The "Beirut" spelling has only been common for a few decades. Similarly, many towns in Europe have redirs from their ancient Roman and Greek names, to catch refs from articles about ancient times. The rule for redefs in place names is easy - if it was ever commonly-used in English writing, plus a redir for each of the inhabitants' common languages - thus Milano but not (Lithuanian) Milanas. Stan 21:18, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, makes good sense. (If I run across the appropriate policy page, I'll add it.) But what about the "articles ought to explain redirects" rule - I assume that means we should add mention to the article that "Beyrouth" was the name in French (and thus commonly used, e.g. during the period of the French mandate)? Noel (talk) 22:18, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep - I try to do that myself. Someday it would be cool to write a script that makes note of redirs not mentioned in an article (after pruning out the orthography-motivated redirs of course). Stan 01:30, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Sant'Antioco

Sant'Antioco (Santu Antiogu) is the name of both an island and a municipality (comune) in southwestern Sardinia, in the Province of South Sardinia, in Sulcis zone. With a population of 11,730, the municipality of Sant'Antioco it is the island's largest community. It is also the site of ancient Sulci, considered the second city of Sardinia in antiquity.

Island of Sant'Antioco
Sant'Antioco is the second largest island of the Sardinian region, after Sardinia itself, with a surface of 109 km2; it is also the fourth largest in Italy after Sicily, Sardinia and Elba. It is located some 87 km from Cagliari, to which is connected through the SS126 state road, using a modern bridge. The island is divided between the two municipalities of Sant'Antioco and Calasetta. Other settlements are the small tourist resort of Maladroxia (a frazione of Sant'Antioco municipality) and Cussorgia, part of Calasetta. The coast of the island is in part sandy and in part rocky. The main beaches in the island are Maladroxia and Coaquaddus, in the municipality of Sant'Antioco, and Sotto Torre, Le Saline and Spiaggia Grande in the municipality of Calasetta.

History
The island of Sant'Antioco was settled at least from the 5th millennium BC (the so-called culture of San Michele of Ozieri), which was based mainly on fishing and agriculture. Typical tombs (called domus de janas) and menhirs belonging to this culture have been found. The island also housed the nuragic civilization: findings include the Giants' grave of Su Niu de su Crobu ("Crow's Nest"). In the 8th century BC the Phoenicians founded a new settlement, with the name of Sulky (Punic:) or Solki, of which a tophet (children) necropolis has been excavated. Later (6th century BC) it became a Carthaginian colony, to which another necropolis belongs. The Punic domination ended in the 3rd century BC, when Sulky was conquered by the Romans, who connected it to the mainland through an artificial isthmus. During the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey it sided with the latter, being severely punished after his defeat. During Roman times, it was called Plumbaria, after its lead deposits.

The current city name derives from St. Antiochus, evangelizer of the area, who was martyred in 125 AD. After the decline and the end of the Western Roman Empire, Sant'Antioco was a fortified strong point of the Byzantines. It was repeatedly attacked by the Saracens starting from the early 8th century, and gradually abandoned by the inhabitants who fled to the more protected inner area; the island mainly remained important as the end of pilgrimages devoted to St. Antiochus. A new settlement (bidda in Sardinian) was established around 935 by the judge (the local title for lord) of Cagliari, but this also was abandoned after the end of the giudicato. The island was a territory of the Kingdom of Sardinia (created in 1324) and later was acquired by archbishopric of Cagliari (1503) and, in 1758, by the religious Order of SS. Maurizio and Lazzaro. In the 18th century the area began to be repopulated and toward the mid of the century there were 38 houses, 15 workshops, and 164 huts, with some 450 inhabitants. In January–May 1793 the island was occupied by French troops under admiral Laurent Jean François Truguet, and the citizens freed from ecclesiastical taxes. The last attack by North African pirates occurred in 1815; the same year in which the relics of the patron saint were brought back to the cathedral.

Main sights

 * The Palaeo-Christian Basilica of Sant'Antioco, restored in 1089–1102 with its catacombs
 * Roman bridge
 * Roman fountain

 * Iris (goddess) - I pointed all six or so pages that linked to Iris (goddess) to Iris (mythology). Since there are now no longer any articles pointing to Iris (goddess), it seems that it would only be confusing if it came up in a search, and might set a bad example. A cursory look at the Greek goddesses category page shows that all the links with potentially ambiguous meanings point to (mythology) pages. DesertFly3 09:36, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. Well, clearly people are expecting to find her page at Iris (goddess), so I would say keep under WP:RfD #2 - "make the creation of duplicate articles less likely". Noel (talk) 14:59, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Depressive realism

Depressive realism is the hypothesis developed by Lauren Alloy and Lyn Yvonne Abramson that depressed individuals make more realistic inferences than non-depressed individuals. Although depressed individuals are thought to have a negative cognitive bias that results in recurrent, negative automatic thoughts, maladaptive behaviors, and dysfunctional world beliefs,  depressive realism argues not only that this negativity may reflect a more accurate appraisal of the world but also that non-depressed individuals' appraisals are positively biased.

Evidence for
When participants were asked to press a button and rate the control they perceived they had over whether or not a light turned on, depressed individuals made more accurate ratings of control than non-depressed individuals. Among participants asked to complete a task and rate their performance without any feedback, depressed individuals made more accurate self-ratings than non-depressed individuals. For participants asked to complete a series of tasks, given feedback on their performance after each task, and who self-rated their overall performance after completing all the tasks, depressed individuals were again more likely to give an accurate self-rating than non-depressed individuals. When asked to evaluate their performance both immediately and some time after completing a task, depressed individuals made accurate appraisals both immediately before and after time had passed.

In a functional magnetic resonance imaging study of the brain, depressed patients were shown to be more accurate in their causal attributions of positive and negative social events than non-depressed participants, who demonstrated a positive bias. This difference was also reflected in the differential activation of the fronto-temporal network, higher activation for non self-serving attributions in non-depressed participants and for self-serving attributions in depressed patients, and reduced coupling of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex seed region and the limbic areas when depressed patients made self-serving attributions.

Evidence against
When asked to rate both their performance and the performance of others, non-depressed individuals demonstrated positive bias when rating themselves but no bias when rating others. Depressed individuals conversely showed no bias when rating themselves but a positive bias when rating others.

When assessing participant thoughts in public versus private settings, the thoughts of non-depressed individuals were more optimistic in public than private, while depressed individuals were less optimistic in public.

When asked to rate their performance immediately after a task and after some time had passed, depressed individuals were more accurate when they rated themselves immediately after the task but were more negative after time had passed whereas non-depressed individuals were positive immediately after and some time after.

Although depressed individuals make accurate judgments about having no control in situations where they in fact have no control, this appraisal also carries over to situations where they do have control, suggesting that the depressed perspective is not more accurate overall.

One study suggested that in real-world settings, depressed individuals are actually less accurate and more overconfident in their predictions than their non-depressed peers. Participants' attributional accuracy may also be more related to their overall attributional style rather than the presence and severity of their depressive symptoms.

Criticism of the evidence
Some have argued that the evidence is not more conclusive because no standard for reality exists, the diagnoses are dubious, and the results may not apply to the real world. Because many studies rely on self-report of depressive symptoms and self-reports are known to be biased, the diagnosis of depression in these studies may not be valid, necessitating the use of other objective measures. Due to most of these studies using designs that do not necessarily approximate real-world phenomena, the external validity of the depressive realism hypothesis is unclear. There is also concern that the depressive realism effect is merely a byproduct of the depressed person being in a situation that agrees with their negative bias.

Leonard Volk

Leonard Wells Volk (November 7, 1828 – August 19, 1895) was an American sculptor. He is notable for making one of only two life masks of United States President Abraham Lincoln. In 1867 he helped establish the Chicago Academy of Design and served as its president until 1878. He made several large monumental sculptures, including the tomb of the politician Stephen A. Douglas, and statues of American Civil War figures.

Biography
Volk was born at Wellstown (now Wells), Hamilton County, New York to Garrett and Elizabeth ( Gesner) Volk. He first followed the trade of a marble cutter with his father in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where the family moved.

Marriage and family
In 1852, Volk married Emily Clarissa King Barlow, daughter of Honor ( Douglas) and Dr. Jonathan King Barlow of Bethany, New York. Her maternal cousin, Stephen A. Douglas, was a nationally known politician who ran against Republican Abraham Lincoln as the Democratic Party presidential nominee in 1860.

Their son, Stephen A. Douglas Volk (1856–1935), as an adult became notable as a figure and portrait painter. He studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme in Paris. Later he helped establish the Minneapolis School of Design.

Emily died in May 1894.

Career

In 1848, Volk moved west and opened an artist's studio in St Louis, Missouri. From 1855 to 1857, Stephen A. Douglas, his wife's cousin, supported the family's travel to Rome so that Volk could pursue additional study.

Returning to the United States in 1857, Volk and his family settled in the booming city of Chicago, where he helped to establish the Chicago Academy of Design, precursor to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. For eight years, he served as its director and taught numerous students.

In 1860 Volk made a life mask of Abraham Lincoln. Only one other was made, by Clark Mills in 1865. In the early part of spring 1860, during Lincoln's visit to Chicago, Volk asked him to sit for a bust. The artist decided to start by doing a life mask. Lincoln found the process of letting wet plaster dry on his face, followed by a skin-stretching removal process, "anything but agreeable". Volk later used the life mask and bust of 1860 as the basis for other versions of Lincoln, including a full-size statue. The life mask was also studied by other artists, such as Daniel Chester French.

In mid-May 1860, Volk went to Springfield, Illinois to present the Lincolns with the completed cabinet bust. He had just received the nomination as presidential candidate for the Republican Party. The following day, Volk asked Lincoln to allow a casting of both his hands, for use in other sculptural works. He wanted Lincoln to hold something to simulate grasping a document in his right hand. Lincoln came back from his tool shed with a whittled piece of broom handle. The casting for Lincoln's right hand was made as he held the broom handle. Lincoln's left hand was cast slightly closed but empty.

Leonard Volk died in Osceola, Wisconsin on August 19, 1895, and was buried at Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago.

Malachi Cush

Malachi Cush, also recording as Malachi, (born 23 September 1980), is an Irish singer-songwriter from Donaghmore, a small village in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Coming from a large musical family, he started singing and playing Irish traditional music at an early age. He appeared on the first series of Fame Academy and has had chart success in the UK and Thailand. His musical influences also included The Pogues, U2 and Van Morrison. Malachi is now married.

Fame Academy
Malachi was working as a gas fitter when he auditioned and was selected to appear on the first series of Fame Academy in 2002. This was the first time he had ever left Northern Ireland. During the show he recorded several tracks which later appeared on the album Fame Academy Finalists, released in December 2002.

Musical career
After coming fifth on Fame Academy he took part in a tour of the UK together with other finalists and was given a solo recording contract with Mercury. In March 2003, '"Keep Me A Secret" sung by Ainslie Henderson, a song that he co-wrote on the show with Henderson and Sinéad Quinn, charted at no 5 in the UK. His debut album Malachi, (released on the UMTV label) consisting mainly of covers and songs he had sung on the show, came out in March 2003, and was the first solo album to be released from any of the Fame Academy contestants. It reached 17 in the UK charts and sales topped 100,000, for which he received a silver disc. The first single from this album, the self-penned "Just Say You Love Me", failed to chart significantly in the UK but reached number 1 in Thailand. In November 2003 he visited Bangkok where he performed at several concerts, met fans and took part in radio and TV interviews.

On his return he was asked to support the BBC Children in Need Project along with Girls Aloud and Westlife at the live nationwide broadcast from the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. He was also appointed a Patron of the autism charity "Impact Trust" and took part in many of their fund raising activities.

Early in 2004 he made a solo tour of Northern Ireland, which included a concert at the Waterfront Hall, Belfast. He was awarded Best Irish Newcomer at the Irish World Awards in London in February 2005. In December 2005 he took part in the Young Voices concert at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, performing with the African Children's Choir and other young singers to a capacity audience of 8,000. He also played the lead role of Charles Charming in pantomime for the Bardic Theatre company in Northern Ireland.

After parting with Mercury, he signed with the specialist Irish music label "Emerald". In October 2005, under the name "Malachi", he released his second album, Celtic Heartbeat (Where the Heart Is), consisting of traditional Irish songs. He has also recorded two songs which appear on George Best – The Tribute Album.

On 18 February 2007, "Until We Meet Again", a song co-written by Cush and fellow Irish songwriter Don Maskill, was voted runner-up in the Eurosong 2007, the show to select Ireland's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. He released his third album New Day in November 2007 and was joined on the album tour by Joanne Cash, sister of Johnny Cash. Subsequently, Cash recorded a song co-written by Cush and Garth McConaghie at Amberville Studios and invited Cush out to Nashville to promote the song at the GMA week in April that year.

Cush now works mainly in Northern Ireland, performing live and supporting many charitable projects.

Presenting career
After acting as guest presenter on BBC Radio Ulster, he received an award from readers of Big Buzz Magazine for most popular radio presenter 2005 and 2008.

Cush used to present a daily radio show, Six Cafe for Six FM and the Sunday Juke Box Show. Malachi worked for a time for UTV Belfast presenting The Seven Thirty Show and continues to enjoy a modest following for his music.

Channel Definition Format

Channel Definition Format (CDF) was an XML file format formerly used in conjunction with Microsoft's Active Channel, Active Desktop and Smart Offline Favorites technologies. The format was designed to "offer frequently updated collections of information, or channels, from any web server for automatic delivery to compatible receiver programs." Active Channel allowed users to subscribe to channels and have scheduled updates delivered to their desktop. Smart Offline Favorites, like channels, enabled users to view webpages from the cache.

History
Submitted to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in March 1997 for consideration as a web standard, CDF marked Microsoft's attempt to capitalize on the push technology trend led by PointCast. The most notable implementation of CDF was Microsoft's Active Desktop, an optional feature introduced with the Internet Explorer 4.0 browser in September 1997. Smart Offline Favorites was introduced in Internet Explorer 5.0.

CDF prefigured aspects of the RSS file format introduced by Netscape in March 1999, and of web syndication at large. Unlike RSS, CDF was never widely adopted and its use remained very limited. As a consequence, Microsoft removed CDF support from Internet Explorer 7 in 2006.

New book about Ziryab
Dear friends,

I am delighted to report that my book "The Language of the Heart" is now published. The book is about Ziryab, the chief musician of the court of Cordoba in Andalusia in the ninth century. The book is an historical fantasy, but includes an Afterword with a well researched discussion of the historical record. Following is a blurb for the book:

Ziryab, the Blackbird of Baghdad, born in a hovel to Ethiopian slaves, grew to be the greatest musician of the Golden Age of Arabia. This fictionalized account of his life tells of his rise to greatness: his journey from childhood in Baghdad to Cordoba, his battles with an evil wizard who hates music, how he vanquishes demons, outsmarts pirates, and uses the magic of music to rescue princesses and whole villages. Few facts are known about Ziryab's life, but much is known about the Golden Age in which he lived: the age of Aladdin and Scheherazade and Sindbad the sailor, a world of Djinni and magic. So it is not unlikely - indeed it is probable - that the magic retold in this tale did indeed swirl about Ziryab, and that the magic of his music proved more powerful than all the other.

For this story, as much as it is about Ziryab, is a story about music - the power of music to move the human heart, the magic of music to bridge from the material world to the spiritual world, the call of music to reach across barriers of nationality, religion and language to unify people. Indeed, Music is the Language of the Heart.

Song Source?
Hello! I recently listened to the 30 second clip you posted of Shtu HaAdarim sung by Esther Ofarim and absolutely loved it. I have tried to find the full version, and there are a few on YouTube, but none have that same speedy tempo of the clip you posted. Would you be willing to share the source where you found that particular rendition of the song? Or share the full version with me if you have it? Thanks and no worries if you can't help, just thought I would ask in case! 216.71.206.190 (talk) 05:26, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Try searching on Youtube for
 * שתו העדרים
 * One of the versions that pops up is the one in the article.
 * Good luck Ravpapa (talk) 18:13, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! I was able to find the video!! You have been a huge help. I really enjoy this song :-)
 * There was actually one more song I would like your help with finding, if you don't mind. You posted another 30 second clip of Pashut VeAmiti sung by Zehava Ben which I also really enjoyed. I have searched YouTube and Google, but can only seem to find karaoke versions. I do not know any Hebrew and have no friends whom I could ask, so I would really appreciate it if you could point me towards where I could find the full version of this song. Thanks again, and again no worries if you can't help!
 * I've just been getting really into Israeli music as of late and scoured the Wikipedia article you wrote to find some new songs and these were the only two I could not find full versions of. 216.71.206.190 (talk) 04:21, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Just World hypothesis
Hi Anome. I explained in the Rape talk section why I dropped the Just World thing. I still think it's not really relevant. If you can explain its importance in this case please add to the discussion. User:Paul Barlow

Odd listings on CAT:CSD
You've been around much longer than I so maybe you can help me wrap my head around this. There are two articles (Italy and Japan) listed on CAT:CSD that are clearly not CSD's. The odd thing is that when I check the article histories I don't see anything that would have caused them to appear on the list. The only thing they seem to have in common is that both have recently had the G8 box added to them. Sign me... confused. SWAdair | Talk 00:33, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Right, I've found out what it was. Some user added the speedy deletion template to the G8 template: see . This automatically put all articles with the G8 template in into the speedy deletion candidates category. It looks like the links table has got a bit stale, so those two have stuck in the category for the time being. It should sort itself out fairly soon. -- The Anome 00:41, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
 * Ah, so that's what it was. Since only those two from G8 were appearing I didn't think it was related to the template, and didn't check.  Thank you.  SWAdair | Talk  00:51, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi, are you sure Sally Phillips was in Green Wing? Don't you mean Sarah Alexander? Maybe both were in it but I don't remember Sally Phillips. --FrankP 13:41, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Anomebot Licencing
I was looking at the U.S. city/county articles and noticed that you've made a number of bot changes (User:The Anomebot) adding county images. I've chosen to multi-license all of the rambot contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike Licence. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at minimum those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. I thought I'd also ask if you'd like to do the same for the images themselves. Many users use the   template on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case. -- Ram-Man 18:19, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

 * I wasn't the author of these images: I was simply uploading them on their behalf. I personally have no problem with dual licensing, but I'm not the person to ask for permission. I'll try to remember who the original image author was. -- The Anome 22:32, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

Here are the details, from WikiProject U.S. Counties:

 * About the U.S. county maps

 * The red and black U.S. county maps are generated from scanned public domain originals, which have then been modified by User:Wapcaplet and User:Jdforrester to indicate the counties and licensed under the GFDL. User:The Anome is uploaded these images using a bot. User:Ram-Man included links to these maps in all of the county articles.

 * Each of these county maps is credited thus: "Public domain U.S. county map courtesy of The General Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin, modified to show counties. Released under GFDL."

 * The page WikiProject U.S. Counties/checklist has pointers to all of the image filenames, whether they are uploaded yet or not.

 * The gold maps for Califonia counties and grey maps for Nevada counties were done by User:Brion.

I'm not sure who did the versions with the dots for towns, but I know I wasn't involved.

-- 22:40, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

 * I forgot that you were the one who uploaded but didn't create the pictures. It's been a while!  Anyway I will move on to the correct party to ask.  Nevertheless, I was asking about more than just picture licensing.  I was wondering specifically about the edits done by the bot.  Edits are separate from the pictures themselves so I was wondering if you would license all your edits, or at least the ones specific to the modifications you've made to the city/county articles under the dual-license listed above since the bot has modified a large number of articles.  I'm also checking if people would like to dual-license ALL of their edits made to Wikipedia. -- Ram-Man 00:41, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

Ed, here are a couple of places I found:
 * from Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles
 * and also at Manual_of_Style

There's also recently been a programme of "fixing" about 5000 pages with the "External link" format (out of a total 400,000) to the "External links" format. On looking at this again, I can see that this is not spelled out very clearly at the moment, and it should be. -- The Anome 23:32, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
 * None of the links you mention explicitly states that the "External links" title should also be used when there is one external link only. It seems natural to me to use "External link" when there is one link, and "External links" once there is two or more links. --Edcolins 09:32, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, My text was not intended to advertise anything, but in order to back up my claim, I felt source information was required. Was I wrong. How am I suppose to make an argument if my source material is censored please? Thanks, --Rebroad 00:25, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Maid to order
Please, please stop putting cosplay pictures into articles where they are not appropriate. I remember the lengthy discussions relating to the leotard article; now you have added a similar image to the maid article. Can you tell me why you consider these images to be appropriate illustrations for these articles? -- The Anome 12:38, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)
 * Why aren't these appropriate? For starters, there are no other images of maids available for us to use, so far as I know. Would you not agree that something is better than nothing? Also, when we have many other opportunities to get images of villains and mad scientists, through the marvel of screen captures, we end up with two cartoons. Not only that, but these cartoons are deemed "featured" by the Wikipedia community. -- user:zanimum
 * Regarding fictional villains and mad scientists, I think they are original illustrations donated to Wikipedia rather than screen captures. As regarding maids, a few minures research on the Library of Congress website found, to name but two:

 * ...and you can find many more with a few more minutes search. -- The Anome 19:15, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

Libertarianism (philosophy)
Hi - I see it was you who started Libertarianism (philosophy) - someone added something and the whole article ended up being inconsistent, so I've commented out a substantial part of it...

I'm not even clear myself these days what Libertarianism actually is. Is it:

1. The view that if Alice is free she "could have done otherwise".

Or is it:

2. The view that if Alice is free then some causal chains are started by her, and there are no prior causes of this.

There are certainly arguments to the effect that Alice "could have done otherwise" even if the prior state-of-the-world entails that Alice does not do otherwise, so the 1st view can be made consistent with compatibilism and determinism. However, I doubt that the 2nd view can.

I rather thought that Libertarianism was the 2nd view, however what you wrote makes me wonder if it's the 1st... Evercat 01:55, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Anyway, can I ask you for a source on the "compatible with determinism" bit? As I look through Google, it really seems like libertarianism is the combination of incompatibilism with the view that we do have free will, ie see this Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry: libertarian free will, the kind of free will that is incompatible with causal determinism. or this one: A libertarian is an incompatibilist who believes that we in fact have free will and that this entails that determinism is false. Evercat 14:37, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I was just trying to keep the previous text as an alterntive view. You've now convinced me, and I'll move the other text to the talk page. -- The Anome 22:56, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)

collaboration of the week
Hi- I've nominated American comic book for collaboration of the week. This if it is selected it will bring a many good contributors to work on the article. If you don't mind, please give your vote of support here (near the bottom of the page). Happy editing! ike9898 18:16, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Names for inorganic compounds
Hi, I notice that you have just changed the title of two of my recent submissions. Can I ask which system of nomenclature you are following? I am currently trying to get everyone to standardise on the IUPAC system of inorganic nomenclature (also recommended by the ACS). Do you think an alternative system (with a space before the parenthesis) is better? We are currently discussing this at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemicals Also, can I ask you to join us on this project? We need more participants!

ACS Style Guide, 2nd edition (don't have details, lent mine out this weekend).

Walkerma 21:57, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Since the above pages are not "primary" literature, I now have a PDF of the relevant section (2.252) of the actual IUPAC rules scanned in at http://www2.potsdam.edu/walkerma/inorg_naming.pdf

Also, on page 256 of the ACS Style Guide, 2nd Edition, it states, "...write oxidation numbers on the line in parentheses closed up to the element name or symbol, copper(II) ....." Walkerma 23:20, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Thank you for letting me know this. I stand corrected: I'll use the IUPAC style from now on. We probably need to reference this information in the Wikipedia Manual of Style, since it is different to normal English-language style for parentheses. -- The Anome 08:28, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for clarifying things. I have added a couple of links from the Scientific/chem section of the Manual of Style to say: "For general information see systematic_name, and for organic compounds in particular see IUPAC_nomenclature."  I also added a few more links to systematic name.  I think our template on chemical compounds should include a link to systematic_name, or a more specific page if one is written.  By the way, thank you also for the other edits, I'm still getting used to the standard styles!  Walkerma 20:05, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Oh wow, I really should have checked that out before I edited the article, I guess. I had only ever heard one person say anorectic, so I assumed it was wrong. Thanks for pointing that out. Superking 17:22, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

That non-OPEC, non-FSU oil production image is perfect, thx
Though, the rather dramatic production declines are steeper than I imagined they'd be, possibly foreshadowing the future, not good. They are steeper than the rate of production increase even. It's almost as if OPEC and/or the FSU knew to wait a while... zen master 20:57, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project
Hi. You've helped with the WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Concept map
Thank you for incorporating my text about Concept maps. You may be able to solve a mystery for me. I searched for it before creating the page and didn't find it so yesterday I created the page, and made a link on the Peter Russell page to it. Today I followed the link from Peter Russell to Concept map, and was surprised (and pleased) to see much more good information there. By looking at the history, I see that you incorporated my text, but I forget the exact name of the page I created. Did I create Concept mapping and you took the text from there and turned it into a redirect? Did I create Concept map and you made some other kind of moving or redirect? I can't see Hu 05:53, 2004 Dec 14 (UTC)
 * I've taken a look. I can only imagine that there was a database glitch. -- The Anome 14:07, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

Network protocol design principles
I assume this content is going somewhere, like Network protocol? We have had complaints from "ordinary" readers that the networking pages are more appropriate for techhies than for ordinary people, so maybe it would have been good to keep that as a separate page. Certainly the "Network protocol" page is going to get kind of long if all this material is moved in. Perhaps we could move the list of protocols to List of network protocols? Noel (talk) 13:57, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Just so, and yes, respectively. -- The Anome 14:07, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

Looks good! Also, without meaning any way to be a pain, I'd like to mention that according to Duplicate_articles:

 * If you copy material from one article to the other, you must explain in your edit comment that you have done so, giving the name of the source article .. This is important so that all contributors to the article can be properly credited, as required by the GFDL.

I have made entries on the Talk: pages for List of network protocols and Communications protocol on your behalf, providing this information (as I can't edit the edit messages in the history). As I expect you understand, that direction is not pointless bureacratism, but is needed to protect our own asses from copyright problems. Noel (talk) 21:46, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Andy Kaufman lives! (I think we have all been tricked big time.)
Can you please do me a favor? Do you administrators have the ability to see the IP address of a registered user? If so, can you please tell me if the IP address of User:Paektu is similar to that of User:JoeM (which I know is 4.247.194.236)? If they are similar, then I am the biggest fool on Wikipedia. --NoPetrol 03:46, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Given JoeM's tendency towards sockpuppetry and creation of alternative identities with various extreme political views, I would not be at all surprised if this was the case. However, I am unable to look at the server logs: you might want to try one of the Wikimedia developers, who do have the appropriate low-level access to do this. (See Developers). If Paektu does turn out to be JoeM, they would then be subject to JoeM's hard ban. -- The Anome 12:46, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

I've just figured this out: JoeM's full name is  Joseph feakin' McCarthy. This is a joke, after all! --NoPetrol 01:16, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Energy Development and Hubbert's Peak Theory
There is a little storm brewing at Hubbert peak concerning, well, many things. But currently concerning how to organize information concerning future development of energy schemes (phrased as "Oil Alternatives" or "Future energy development" depending on whom you ask). As you might guess, Hubbert Peak is an article that might be expected to draw a lot of public interest and heat; Energy development is not. We could use your input regarding how to proceed.

Blocks are not expiring
I'm posting this message on every admin who has made a block in the last few days. The title says it all really: because of a bug in the new software blocks are not expiring when their time is up. Until this is fixed can you get in the habit of manually unblocking a few everytime you block one. If everyone does this we'll be able to keep on top of things until the bug is sorted out. Note also that another bug is displaying indefinite blocks as expiring at the current time and date. obviously you don't want to unblock those.

82.194.62.17
Heya, what are you basing your proxy block of User:82.194.62.17 on? I'll admit, they've been up to little good, but I can't find any evidence of the IP being an open proxy. I suspect it's just a shared proxy for a large ISP in Bahrain. --fvw *  00:04, 2005 Feb 1 (UTC)

It was listed as an open proxy by a report on blog spammers; one of four such proxies on the given network, the others of which are listed in our blocklist. I have not directly tested it, but felt it should be blocked for completeness' sake. Please feel free to test it and unblock it if needed.

Ah. Here's the report: http://www.annelisabeth.com/blog/ -- The Anome 00:15, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid you have to be careful just taking the info of some blog, you should verify that it is in fact an open proxy server, which I've seen no evidence of. A good rule of thumb is that if you can't edit wikipedia through it you shouldn't BlockedProxy it. If you don't want the hassle or aren't technically up to it, ask someone to check on WP:AN, WP:VP or my talk page. --fvw<SMALL> * </SMALL> 01:36, 2005 Feb 1 (UTC)

Some quick checking seems to show that it's no longer open. I'll unblock it. -- The Anome 01:45, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

Père Jean Marie Delavay

Père Jean-Marie Delavay (28 December 1834 – 31 December 1895) was a French missionary, explorer and botanist. He was perhaps the first Western explorer of the region which is now encompassed by the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas.

Delavay was born in Les Gets, Haute-Savoie, in 1834. As a missionary for Missions Etrangères de Paris (Foreign Missions of Paris) he was sent to China in 1867, serving first in Guangdong, then moving to north-western Yunnan. While in France in 1881, on a break from his duties, Delavay met the natural history collector and fellow missionary Père Armand David, who had made his final collecting expedition in China in the 1870s. David encouraged Delavay to continue his collecting work and send specimens to the Paris Museum of Natural History. In 1888 he contracted bubonic plague; he survived the initial onslaught of the disease, but never fully recovered. This did not stop his explorations, however, eventually he travelled to Hong Kong to recuperate, collecting plants all the way. It was while in Hong Kong that he discovered what is now the territories emblem, the Hong Kong orchid tree Bauhinia × blakeana. By 1891 it was clear that a more drastic cure was needed, so Delavay returned to France in hopes of gaining a full recovery. Unable to stay away, he returned to China in 1893 and continued his collections, adding another 1550 plants to his already impressive total, but in 1895 he finally succumbed to his illness, and died in Yunnan province aged 61.

Legacy
Delavay was an avid plant collector, sending over 200,000 herbarium specimens back to France, from which numerous new genera and over 1,500 new species were described, many by Adrien René Franchet of the Paris Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. From 1899 to 1890, Franchet released" Plantae Delavayanae: Plants from China collected in Yunnan by Father Delavay", which published 142 original plant names among the many discovered by Delavay.

Eponymy
Delavay is commemorated in the names of several plants, including Delavay's Fir Abies delavayi, Delavay's Magnolia Magnolia delavayi and Delavay's Peony Paeonia delavayi.
