User talk:Isaac Rabinovitch/Archive 01

Hi, Isaac. I sincerely apologise if you found what I said insulting. My intention wasn't to patronise you, or educate you, or anything of the sort - I simply noticed that your talk page was a red link, meaning nobody had welcomed you, and I went about doing that since a welcome was clearly overdue. I am sorry if the boilerplate notice was inappropriate, I simply used it for reasons of speed. For the record, I don't think you're doing anything wrong that I can see, and you do see to have a reasonable grasp of the important stuff. If there is anything I would offer in advice, it is to sign your comments by using the ~ key four times.

In order to make amends, I offer you a belated, non-boilerplated, utterly sincere welcome, and best wishes for your editing on Wikipedia. Cheers, Slac speak up!  00:48, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sorry to be so touchy. I guess I misunderstood the context. Isaac R 00:50, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm no Robert baron
No, no, I didn't copy the list of Roberts onto Robert. In fact, I'd rather by far that all that "Famous" Robert nonsense go away altogether. All I did was put the usual disambiguation at the top of it -- the ones now called "Historical Roberts" (a heading I hate). I completely agree: there is no value whatsoever in any universe of a "List of Roberts" being in Robert. I loathe list articles in general, and sneaky ones like that in particular. (I.e. someone wrote a list. Someone else listed it on VfD.  The decision was, rather than hurting feelings, to move it onto Robert.  That then conflicted with the usual disambiguation, so someone decided to make a disambig as well as the "list!"  To me, the whole Robert article should have the disambiguation tag and have only the people who have "Robert" as their whole name -- which would be anyone named "Robert of" as well as saint Robert.  However, I did not copy the list junk onto Robert.  I copied the disambiguation onto Robert which had previously been only the list. Geogre 23:32, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Central
Please explain why you felt some of the items there did not belong. It doesn't look kosher when the policy you cited was a redlink. I have restored some (and not all) of the things that you removed. Chris talk back 23:39, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I screwed up the Wikitag, and you can't revise an edit summary. Thought people would figure it out. Anyway, the policy is at Disambiguation. The gist of it is that you need to disambiguate when two or more things are known by the same name. So Central South Carolina and Central Hong Kong (commonly known simply as "Central") both belong on the page. But Central City does not -- the word "Central" is just a part of the name. (Unless "Central City" is also known as just "Central", but I haven't seen that claimed.)

I was wrong to delete some other entries that also are also widely known as "Central". (Sjorford put them back.) But I think most or all of the entries you restored are inappropriate for a disambiguation page. It's very common for people to include everything with X in the name on the X disambiguation page. But it's a mistake, since its makes the page less useful, and is thus against Wikipedia policy. ---Isaac R 00:04, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

comments
Sorry, but which edit were you refering to? Anything in particular? When I look at the recent changes, a lot of edits don't have useful summaries. LDan 23:42, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I notice that Robert (disambiguation) is up for deletion! For example William contains a William (disambiguation) page. What are our options? (unsigned)

 * Follow the link to the votes for deletion page, and submit any arguments you have for keeping it.---Isaac R 17:03, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

time zone
I apologize, but I don't know enough about timezones to help you out. I do know however, that we share names with the U.S. in four time zones, not three. I think it may fall under provincial jurisdiction, because I know Nunavut tried to move the boundaries so they'd all be under CST, but the citizens opposed. I would imagine the names are the same as in the U.S. for continutity reasons. -- Earl Andrew - talk 08:04, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

WSA-UN
Thought I'd respond here instead of on VfD - the discussion there is drifting off-topic; I understand that the fellow who founded the WSA was involved in some sort of protest at the UN at about the time of the latter's foundation in the late 1940s, the result of which was that he was invited to address the General Assembly. It's just occurred to me that it's entirely possible that he had not actually founded the WSA at the time. I intend to delve further into this when I begin writing about the World Service Authority.--Gene_poole 03:42, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

stub image
Hi Isaac - just wanted to tell you that I've reverted the image you added to Actor-stub. Images put a lot of strain on the servers, so they were taken off a lot of the heavy-use templates about a month ago (see for details). Grutness|hello? 05:46, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Does this have anything to do with the fact that images often fail to appear?... Maybe a lot of the stubs need to go image-free.

Not sure, but that could be the reason. Some of the icons provide information (the maps on some of the geo-stubs do, where the regions being stubbed are a bit ambiguous, e.g., the North Africa stub template), but most of them don't. Many of the more frequently used stub templates are now icon free, though. Grutness|hello?
 * ...maybe it would be a good idea to remove all the stub icons and put messages on the template pages asking people not to put them back...In any case, you should probably replace icons you delete with an HTML comment explaining the problem -- people probably don't check the history before adding graphics.

That's a good idea. One of those type tags one each template would probably be worthwhile. There is a comment on the main stub template page saying not to change or add icons without discussing it at the Stub sorting wikiproject first, but again, people probably don't check there, either. Grutness|hello? 00:06, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Childish?
As far as I'm aware, we do not include the installation of other popes or other heads of state on the date pages. I'm sure Benedict XVI's installation was only added as it's a very recent event. However, it's not particularly earth-shattering news, and is surely not going to be seen as a notable anniversary in future years. So why is removing the reference to Benedict XVI's installation childish? jguk 22:56, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * If the listing had been for the new head of state of the Vatican, you'd have a point. But the listing was for the lifetime leader of a religious denomination with nearly a billion adherants. I think that's probably as notable as "Ralph DePalma makes his racing debut at the Briarcliff Trophy Race? in Westchester, New York." or "The world's largest lollipop weighing 3,011 pounds (1,366 kg) is made in Denmark". In any case, expressing your notion of "notable" by starting a revert war goes beyond childish and passes into infantile. ---Isaac R 23:37, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Vandalising my page
How Dare U vandalise my userpage. I would have to fire you since u put this image. King Jimbo 07:30, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

 * You have no chance to survive make your time. All your base are belong to us! Move every Zig! HA HA HA HA HA.... LOL....   — Rickyrab | Talk 19:12, 20 May 2005 (UTC) ahh, those were the days, even if the guy who made the above comment was being a troll and/or a vandal.    — Rickyrab | Talk 19:12, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Concerning King Jimbo
I did notice you had edited his page. I've notified the administrator User:Mindspillage about the incident (both your "attack" on Jimbo's page and his on yours), and I'll leave it to her to take any further steps. I do not see it as tragic, just refrain from doing it again. Phils 20:36, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

I know u are also an idiot, because I am the owner of the company. King Jimbo 04:02, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Christopher Isham
You write: ''I just want to express the opinion that your attitude is detrimental to a project we both care about. ''

Well I feel exactly the same way, and I think I'm justified in reproving you for not even bothering to do even the tiniest amount of research. Please don't act as if your ignorance and laziness amount to an excuse for slapping silly templates on perfectly good stubs. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:09, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Does this really sound too strong? You have been acting in an extremely hostile and obnoxious manner, parading your ignorance like a badge and replacing a template expressly removed by me on the basis that you know lots of theoretical physicists so they can't be encyclopedic. If you wanted a pat on the back, I'm sorry I can't give you one. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:34, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

You keep falsely accusing me of being uncivil, insulting you, etc. I'm only reminding you not to just slap cleanup templates on articles that you freely admit you're not qualified to judge, when they've been removed by someone who has made the effort to do his homework. It's extremely counter-productive. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:26, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm patiently according you good faith and hoping that you will stop accusing me of incivility. If my words have offended you, I apologise. However my criticism of your dismissive attitude towards a clearly notable individual, and your evident indisposition towards doing the minimum of research, and your abuse of cleanup templates, stands. If you don't know anything about a subject, popping a stub template into the article will make it easily accessible without needlessly defacing its appearance. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 02:04, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

SOAP
I'm not sure if you've seen the message I left on SOAP's talk page recently, but I cleaned up the article in temporary form at User:Ben Babcock/SOAP and would like some opinions before implementing it. Ben Babcock 12:29, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Endless
I'm really puzzled as to what you have in mind. The word "endless" obviously carries at least one of the technical meanings of "infinite" in mathematics: the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, ... of positive integers is endless, or, synonymously, it is infinite. Moreover, when I said infinite has many meanings, I meant specifically precisely defined technical meanings in mathematics. Did it seem as if I meant something else? Michael Hardy 20:08, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I still don't think "Endless" is another word for "Infinite",

I never thought it was simply another word for the same thing, but rather that it's the same as at least some of the technical meanings of infinite in mathematics.

In technical mathematics there are
 * 1) infinite sets and their cardinalities (including countably infinite and uncountably infinite sets),
 * 2) the "infinities" of calculus,
 * 3) the the "infinities" of measure theory,
 * 4) the "infinities" of projective geometry,
 * 5) which occur not only in hyperspaces at infinity, but in primitive form in, e.g., trigonometry (consider the graph of the tangent function),
 * 6) the "infinity" of complex analysis,
 * 7) the infinities of non-standard analysis -- quite different from the above,
 * 8) the sorts of infinity one considers when studying Dirac's delta function (this can be multiplied by, e.g., non-integer real numbers, getting different values),
 * 9) and various others.

Are all of these "endless"? No. But is "infinite" (in one or more of these senses) what is meant by "endless"? I think so. "Infinite series" and "infinite sequences" in mathematics are endless. Michael Hardy 23:40, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

My attitude is just fine
I'm not going to put up with personal attacks any more. RickK 20:49, May 10, 2005 (UTC)

Third Law
Dude, it's Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. It's joke. I have no existence, per se. KevinBot 04:23, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Ah yes, Perl is very pretentious. But since my bot is actually a highly extensible executable application written in C# putting the three laws on the user page is slightly less pretentious, but just barely. Kevin Rector (talk) 14:09, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

User:Uncle G
Please refrain from editing other users' user pages. It is considered extremely poor Wikiquette. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 14:35, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * The page was deleted at Uncle G's request . However, any admin can see the log of the deleted page, and you were listed as an editor of the page this morning:

# 02:04, May 16, 2005. . Isaac Rabinovitch
 * 1)  10:15, May 16, 2005 . . Uncle G
 * To refresh your memory, your edit simply contained the link: This is not Uncle G's user page. Cheers.  --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 15:22, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * You asked "How can I edit a page that doesn't exist". I'm saying that you created the page (as is quite evident in the logs), and Uncle G requested that the page be deleted, so it now currently does not exist.  I'm not going to respond to this issue further, as there is nothing substantive here and I don't want to dwell on this subject further.  I did not mean to sound accusatory, I was merely letting you know that the editing of another user's page is frowned upon - If you are saying that you did not do the edit of his page that I am refering to, then I would check to make sure that you have not left your account logged in at a public computer, or that your password has not somehow been compromised.  Cheers. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 16:02, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

VfD
Antigonish—Guysborough - This is kind of a test case.
 * Try Votes for deletion/Policy consensus for such cases. A suitable answer might also be (if they're stubs) to be WP:BOLD and merge the lot of them. HTH! Radiant_* 13:37, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Category:Formal Logic
As per the discussion on Categories for deletion/Log/2005 May 12, there was no consensus to delete. The category is now empty. As you were the leading proponent to keep, I was wondering if you'd like to populate the category. Thanks. --Kbdank71 13:13, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I posted anote about the CfD to Category talk:Formal logic, with a summary of Issac & Radiant's discussion. I don't think there are any articles that should go in category Formal logic. --- Charles Stewart 13:58, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Disputing some inclusions
In general I dispute the value of the formal logic category for two main reasons: In particular two subcategories you have put in formal logic are problematic. Eg. I'm reversing these inclusions. --- Charles Stewart 17:48, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I think the usability of the category system is reduced if we have deep category hierarchies so we should aim for highly specific subcategories, rather than very broad ones;
 * Logic does not cleanly separate into the formal and informal. In particular, if logic has a formal logic subcategory, it suggests that everything else is informal, when in fact much of the content contains both formal and informal logic.
 * Category:Boolean algebra contains De Morgan's laws which contains discussion not only of the algebraic condition, but also of the ancient knowledge of duality that goes back to Aristotle that is not what you call formal;
 * Category:Logic in computer science contains Curry-Howard correspondence which accepts an intuitive and informal motivation.

Moving this discussion
I think the best place to discuss our dispute will be on the Category talk:Logic discussion page, since that page has a bit more visibility. Probably input of fellow editors is what we need at the moment. I'm around for the next three hours, but after that I will be away from the internet until Tuesday. I'll post a message to the talk page shortly. --- Charles Stewart 18:41, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Internamespace links
There's a sort of rule that the main namespace of wikipedia shouldn't refer to content in other namespaces, because syndicates of wikipedia generally make use only of the main namespace. I'm deleting the ref to category:logic in computer science in logic in computer science.

I'm sorry if I seem to be disagreeing with everything you do: I don't mean to be unsupportive. This interwiki mistake is one I made not too long ago. --- Charles Stewart 18:05, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Rabinowitz/Rabinovitch
I can't help but notice that my surname sounds an awful lot like yours. I wonder if there are are any other Rabinowitzes or Rabinovitzes or Rabinovitches around Wikipedia... — Rickyrab | Talk 19:09, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * You're right, muh fellow Rabinowitz... :)   — Rickyrab | Talk 19:49, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Airspeed
A merge of the three related articles (Airspeed, Indicated airspeed and True airspeed) sounds like a good idea. I'll check the work to see if it needs further WP formatting. Additional response on my talk. Leonard G. 01:29, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

The Lovers

The Lovers (VI) is the sixth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination.

Interpretation
According to A.E. Waite's 1910 book Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the Lovers card carries several divinatory associations:

"6. THE LOVERS.—Attraction, love, beauty, trials overcome. Reversed: Failure, foolish designs. Another account speaks of marriage frustrated and contrarieties of all kinds."

In some traditions, the Lovers represent relationships and choices. Its appearance in a spread indicates some decision about an existing relationship, a temptation of the heart, or a choice of potential partners. Often an aspect of the Querent's life will have to be sacrificed; a bachelor(ette)'s lifestyle may be sacrificed and a relationship gained (or vice versa), or one potential partner may be chosen while another is turned down. Whatever the choice, it should not be made lightly, as the ramifications will be lasting.

The Lovers is associated with the star sign Gemini, and indeed is also known as The Twins in some decks. Other associations are with Air, Mercury, and the Hebrew letter ז (Zayin).

In the Rider Waite deck, the imagery for this card is changed significantly from the traditional depiction. Instead of a couple receiving a blessing from a noble or cleric, the Rider–Waite deck depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. By reducing the number of human beings depicted in the card from three to two, Waite was able to reinforce its correspondence with Gemini. The Rider–Waite card also includes the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil with a serpent wrapped around its trunk. The symbolism of no return from making bad decisions, and the consequences of innocence lost, would be more widely understood from this imagery.

In popular culture

 * In the 1973 film Live and Let Die (film), the character Solitaire repeatedly finds this card (card deck designed by Fergus Hall) and interprets that she is destined to be in love with James Bond.
 * JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders uses Tarot cards to name character's Stands. One of the Stand's name is Steely Dan's The Lovers, which is named after The Lovers card.
 * The Persona series includes various characters represented by tarot cards. In Persona 5 The Lovers card belongs to Ann Takamaki, a member of the main cast.

Ann Beattie

Ann Beattie (born September 8, 1947) is an American novelist and short story writer. She has received an award for excellence from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and the PEN/Malamud Award for excellence in the short story form.

Career
Born in Washington, D.C., Beattie grew up in Chevy Chase, Washington, D.C., and attended Woodrow Wilson High School. She holds an undergraduate degree from American University and a master's degree from the University of Connecticut.

She gained attention in the early 1970s with short stories published in The Western Humanities Review, Ninth Letter, the Atlantic Monthly, and The New Yorker. In 1976, she published her first book of short stories, Distortions, and her first novel, Chilly Scenes of Winter, which was later made into a film.

Beattie's style has evolved over the years. In 1998, she published Park City, a collection of old and new short stories, about which Christopher Lehman-Haupt wrote in The New York Times:"[The stories] are arranged chronologically, which allows the reader to trace the development of the author's technique. It also lets one see the contrast between the latest stories and the earliest, an experience of sufficient subtlety and complexity to reduce one in this limited space to the following gross generalizations: Gone is the deadpan style of the early and middle stories, in which Ms. Beattie lays out on a dissecting table the behavior of her disaffected post-counterculture yuppies and then leaves it up to the reader to do the anatomizing. Gone, too, are the stabs of lyricism of the middle period, particularly the endings that try poetically to recapitulate the story's action but feel tacked on and artificial. .. In the best of these stories, Ms. Beattie's ability both to commit herself and to knit her commitment into the finest needlework of her artistry contrasts sharply with the irritating moral passivity of her earlier work."

Beattie has taught at Harvard College and the University of Connecticut and was for a long time associated with the University of Virginia, where she was first appointed as a part-time lecturer in 1980. She later became Edgar Allan Poe Chair of the Department of English and Creative Writing in 2000 and remained at UVA until 2013, when she resigned over disappointment at the direction in which the university was heading. In 2005 she was selected as winner of the Rea Award for the Short Story, in recognition of her outstanding achievement in that genre.

Her first novel, Chilly Scenes of Winter (1976), was adapted as a film alternatively titled Chilly Scenes of Winter or Head Over Heels in 1979 by Joan Micklin Silver, starring John Heard, Mary Beth Hurt, Gloria Grahame, and Peter Riegert. The first version was not well received by audiences, though upon its re-release in 1982, with a new title and ending to match that in the book, the movie was successful, and is now considered a cult classic. She was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2004.

Recent works
Appraisal of Beattie's recent work has been mixed. Writing in The New York Times, Michiko Kakutani called her novel Mrs. Nixon: A Novelist Imagines a Life (2011) "preposterous," "narcissistic," and "self-indulgent"—the "sort of pretentious volume that makes people hate academics." In The Washington Post, Book World Editor Marie Arana characterized it as "a bill of goods" devoid of "anything resembling a story line" that is "less about the eponymous Mrs. than about an endless parade of wordsmiths trotted out for show." The book "is not, except in the most perfunctory way, about Mrs. Nixon," Arana determined. "It's about Beattie." "[T]he book does not succeed," wrote William Deresiewicz in The Nation. "Its bric-a-brac approach is ultimately wearying: nothing ever quite gets under way. One ends up feeling as if Beattie has spent the whole performance clearing her throat. . . . Her subject often seems a pretext, something just to get the conversation started." By contrast, Dawn Raffel, in the San Francisco Chronicle, called the book "splendidly tricky", "at times... movingly lyrical", and said "Nothing in Mrs. Nixon is perfectly clear, and that is the source of its power."

Mary Pols described her short-story collection The State We're In (2015), which is set in Maine, in The New York Times Book Review as "slippery" and "peculiar." Pols wrote, "I read this collection twice trying to unravel the mystery of what else, beyond Maine, ties these unfinished-feeling stories together."

In a review of Beattie's collection The Accomplished Guest (2017) for The Washington Post, Howard Norman admired Beattie for her "beguiling originality" and determined that "she is one of our few contemporary masters of storytelling." He also wrote, "When I read Beattie's stories, I think of Chekhov's; when I read Chekhov's stories, I think of Beattie's. Both are writers for the ages."

Of Beattie's recent novel A Wonderful Stroke of Luck (2019), Publishers Weekly wrote, "Beattie offers sharp psychological insights and well-crafted prose, but the novel lacks the power and emotional depth of her best work." In The New York Times Book Review, Martha Southgate wrote, "Ultimately, this is a novel in which nothing seems to matter much." She also called the book "shapeless." Southgate nonetheless praised A Wonderful Stroke of Luck for "some elegant sentences and cutting observations that remind a reader of Beattie at her strongest."

Beattie's papers are held by the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia.

Personal
Beattie was married to the writer David Gates. The couple divorced in 1980. In 1985, she met the painter Lincoln Perry, and they married in 1998.

She and Perry both taught at the University of Virginia until 2013. From there they moved together to Key West, Florida, where she continues to write.

In 2005, the two collaborated on a published retrospective of Perry's paintings. Entitled Lincoln Perry's Charlottesville, the book contains an introductory essay and artist's interview by Beattie.

Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/California

Hello and welcome to the California State Routes Task Force page! If you would like to help, please jump in and start adding or editing.

Scope and goals
This task force aims primarily to encourage participation in creating or expanding articles about state highways in California, also known as California State Routes (note the capitals).

An article describing the logic and basic history of the State highways in California is necessary to accompany the current List of California State Highways article. This article should feature information regarding the state's Freeway and Expressway System, Scenic Highways, and other worthy material.

For routes that have been entirely deleted and whose number has not been reused, these should be merged onto a single article, Deleted California State Highways. For routes that are entirely unconstructed, these should be merged onto another article, Unconstructed California State Highways.

The following are task force goals:
 * 1) Write high quality articles with a standardized structure
 * 2) Make redirects listed on WikiProject California State Highways/Completion list

Resources

 * External links
 * Old city maps (1934, 1944)
 * 1956 and 1966 maps
 * USC Digital Archive (includes maps)
 * 1918 map
 * 1913 and 1917 maps
 * commons:Category:Automobile Club of Southern California collection, 1892-1963
 * California Highways and Public Works scans: 1-4 (1924-1927) 4-7 (1927-1929) 8-9 (1930-1931) 10-11 (1932-1933) 12-14 (1934-1936) 14-16 (1936-1938) 17-18 (1939-1940) 19-22 (1941-1944) 23-26 (1945-1947) 27-28 (1948-1949) 29-30 (1950-1951) 31-32 (1952-1953) 33-34 (1954-1955) 35-36 (1956-1957) 37-38 (1958-1959) 39-40 (1960-1961) 41-42 (1962-1963) 43-44 (1964-1965) 45-46 (1966-1967) Index

Structure and standards
Articles should follow WP:USRD/STDS.

Note: Many California road articles use outdated standards, and have not been brought up to current wikipedia and project standards. If using an article as a baseline, it is recommended to use one that has recently been reviewed.

Naming convention
Articles should be titled "California State Route X" per WP:USSH.

Shields
The various shield graphics are located in Category:California State Route shields on Commons. jct can create the various links to highway articles with the appropriate shield graphics for use in the infobox or junction lists.

State law
Details on what systems (California Freeway and Expressway System, State Scenic Highway System) the route is in should generally be in the route description, not in a separate section. Note that the law merely makes routes eligible for the Scenic Highway System; Caltrans must have officially designated it as such to be part of it. Any other significant legal names the route has should also be detailed here in prose (not a list).

Categories
All state highways should include the category tag: where nnn is 3-digit route number, and A is the letter designation if any (e.g. Route 1A is "001A", Route 2 is "002"). Use Category:Interstate Highways in California for highways that are also part of the Interstate Highway System in the state and Category:U.S. Highways in California for highways that are also part of the U.S. Highway System in the state.

Infobox
All articles should use. All known info should be supplied. See the Infobox section on applicable parameters as well as standards for the infobox.

Junction template
Use jct to create the entries in a junction list section for the article, or the junction list in the infobox. To use, insert into the article. If two to four highways are needed, use. Types can be I for Interstates, US for US Routes or CA for state routes. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.

California uses county-wide postmiles instead of the typical statewide milepost; any lettered designations such as "R" or "T" are listed along with the postmile; for example, "3.45" or "R6.77". The county abbreviation is listed in the county column when it exists (that is, when the route spans two or more counties, per WP:RJL.) See California State Route 115 for an example of what to do with shared concurrencies when the route assumes the postmiles of another route.

Not every at-grade junction is listed in the junction list. The current standard is as follows: In order to be listed as an at-grade intersection, the road must be a county route, state route, Interstate, or U.S. Route or must be notable enough to have an article of its own, per WP:USRD/NT. (This is a recent change to comply with the latest updates to WP:USRD/STDS).

Stub
Use California-road-stub

Citation templates
These templates provide centralized locations to frequently used pages to cite California road articles. If you will cite these Caltrans pages in an article, please use these citation templates. This is so if Caltrans reorganizes their web page we have only have to update the URL in one template, rather than hundreds of articles. If these templates will not meet your needs please improve the templates rather than forking or manual linking.
 * Template:Caltrans scenic
 * Template:CA scenic
 * Template:Caltrans scenic info

Teen Dance Ordinance (album)

Teen Dance Ordinance is the fourth album by the alternative rock group A. It was released on 25 June 2005 in the United Kingdom and later in the United States. The title refers to a law passed in 1985 by Seattle City Council and repealed in 2002 that prohibited minors and adults from attending the same dance clubs. It featured a more straight-rock sound and displayed an almost complete absence of the keyboards and sampling that marked the early sound of the band.

Due to many delays in the release of the album, which consisted of the label shelving the album for two years after recording was already completed in 2003 and Jason Perry experiencing illness, the band were already out of general public interest due to the long time they were away from releasing material. This meant the album was given very little promotional attention by the label and media, meaning it only charted at number 95 on the UK Albums Chart and the band was dropped by Warner in October as a result. After the failure of the album, the band broke up until reforming in 2008. It remains the band's most recent album.

"Rush Song" was played as background music in the UK version of the television show Pimp My Ride.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Yahel. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Yahel~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Removing content
Please stop removing content from Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. (I moved this notice from the top of the page, where it was inappropriately placed. It also is unsigned, though Marc has correctly attributed it to NoseNuggets on the latter's talk page.) Joe 04:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I should note that it is NoseNuggets against/about whom an RfC is currently pending, apropos of his insistence on appending unnecessary or unencyclopedic content into articles (and his making such insertion in untoward, less-than-grammatical fashion). Not having observed the edits about which NoseNuggets writes (perhaps in view of his not having enumerated those edits), I'm not competent to reach a conclusion about the propriety of his objections, but I doubt that the removal of the material undertaken by Marc was inappropriate.  In any case, even as his edits have of late been better, I don't think that NoseNuggets is a particularly appropriate individual to insert a vandalism warning.  It is true that NoseNuggets has been a very active editor and member of the Wikipedia community (10,000+ edits, for one) and that Marc has been relatively unactive, amassing fewer than 600 edits over the past year, and such observation might militate against readily dismissing NoseNuggets' complaints, but in view of his general tendency toward overinclusion, I think one at least should reserve judgment.  Cordially, Joe 04:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to WP
Hi and welcome to Wikipedia,

I hope you enjoy your experience here and will make fruitfuil contributions. I have made minor edits to your edit in Nagorno-Karabakh. Hope you don't mind. There were some minor grammar errors which I wanted to fix.

I hope your stay in Wikipedia will be a durable one. Meanwhile I would advice you to read through the WP guidelines, esp. Neutral_point_of_view, Civility, Conflict_resolution. You may need them in the future in case you want to edit highly controversial and politicized pages. --Tabib 05:32, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

East & West Azarbaijan
I was wondering why you have changed the names of the Iranian provinces of East and West "Az a rbaijan" to "Az e rbaijan"? As far as I know, the official forms in the English language are East & West Az a rbaijan, which are distinct from the eastern and western parts of the Republic of Az e rbaijan. I have never seen anyone spell the Iranian provinces with an "e" before. I verified this with an Internet search, and the vast majority of people write East & West Azarbaijan in English. For example, see: http://www.key2persia.com/iranmap.htm.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, I'm simply pointing out that I've never seen your spelling before today. —Stephen 14:14, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Pollyanna

Polish content
This needs to be moved to the Polish (I think) Wikipedia if not already present there. --Robert Merkel 00:32, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pollyanna jest tytu& oraz jej sequelu pt. "Pollyanna dorasta". Jest to historia jedenastoletniej dziewczynki, która po śmierci ojca zostaje odesłana, by mieszkać z surową i despotyczną ciotką, której boi się całe miasto. Pogodna i radosna dziewczynka jednak stopniowo to zmienia. Książka była wielokrotnie filmowana, z czego najbardziej znaną jest wersja wytwórnii Disneya z Hayley Mills w roli głównej. Pollyanna, to również synonim osoby pogodnej, radosnej, z optymizmem podchodzącej do życia.

Pollyanna

Other Adaptations
I remember a TV Movie adaptation of Polyanna starring Keisha Knight-Pullam who brings together a racially segregated town. It also had a sequel. I think it was produced by Disney. I believe it was in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Anyone have more info? -- BlueNight 13 Aug 2005

Pollyanna gift exchange
I have recently become familiar with a Pennsylvania (and surrounding area) colloquialism. "Pollyanna" is used to describe a one-for-one gift exchange, as a 'Secret Santa'. I have also encountered the term "Chinese Pollyanna" used to describe a similar gift exchange where numbers are drawn at random to determine the order of selection.

Per this article http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-pol2.htm, it appears to have derived its usage after the publication of the Pollyanna books, used originally as "Pollyanna gift exchange". Anyone with additional information, please share it. Wpjonathan 18:50, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

 * After sourcing many of the statements without citations under 'Influences' today, I couldn't find one for this PA local usage, other than the WorldWideWords page mentioned above. If the Dictionary of American Regional English still holds the referred-to material, it'll take someone with a subscription to find it. Anyone here paid up to DARE? Humboles (talk) 15:55, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Death Comes Unexpectedly
The sermon preached by Pastor Ford in Pollyanna, titled "Death Comes Unexpectedly". Was it written as an original for the film? or was it taken from a real-life hell, fire, and brimstone preacher such as Jonathan Edwards? It certainly could be Edwards!

Does anyone know the source?

It's the mirrors

 * In the recent commercial advertising campaign for the Texas Instruments DLP [1] televisions, the "It's the mirrors" scene is used. In fact, the line has been officially adopted as the tag line for the advertising campaign.

 * What the heck does that mean? The word mirrors appears nowhere in the article. 64.40.47.25 19:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Some {fact} tagging --my bad
Rewriting, refactoring and extending the article, I had need of some PLACE names I no longer have ready to hand. I've tagged at least three places with fact where these guess should be put on firmer ground. Forgive, it's probably been 35 years since reading this gem.

To Thegingerone, Quit Adding Bias Information
No, Pollyanna was not the film that was the major turning point in Pickford's career. She was the star of many other successful films before this one, and was recognized as "America's Sweetheart" by the time World War I began. Newsflash, you appear to think your always right when you're not. Wikipedia is not the place to flash your ego.

 * Actually if you come off your high horse for a minute you would see that he said it was a defining point not a turning point. Please stop making personal attacks. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 20:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Read it better Ms. Knott, it said THE defining point.Kevin j (talk) 23:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

No it said "Mary Pickford's 1920 adaption defined her career." And you said this was vandalism. Plus the only reason you are even on this page is because you followed Thegingerone here. Stop it. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 05:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Im not even replying to him on this. Anyone would know that this was one of Mary's 'little girl' pictures that really defined her.  However this isnt a Pickford article so really is there a need to elaborate?  Vandalisim my foot--Thegingerone (talk) 01:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

No, she played these roles earlier too and this wasn't "the" defining moment in her career. Maybe it helped make her a top star at her jointly owned film company United Artists, but it wasn't "the defining moment of her career." Like you told me earlier, read a book. I'm not stalking anybody. Though I haven't mentioned it in my talk page I love to organize articles pertaining to film history, and I am an official member of WikiProjectFilmsKevin j (talk) 20:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

 * See your reading too much into my words. I know Mary did little girl roles long before Pollyanna.  However Pollyanna was her first film at United Artists; and it was a MAJOR success...this was the height of her fame right there.  Today its one of the best examples of her little girl role; and many biographers would note as such.  I love Pickford; I dont just make things up about her...--Thegingerone (talk) 03:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

One of my biggest problem with calling this a defining role for Pickford is that her article doesn't even mention the Pollyanna film. The other problem is that all of this could be settled by a source being added that supports the contention that it helped define her. I have to say I don't agree with the statement that this was the height of her fame. Her article points to that as starting in 1914, and specifically discusses her appearance in 1914's Tess of the Storm Country. As far as it helped make her a top star" at UA, that isn't true either. Her status as top star was well established, both before and by helping form UA. What her article on PBS.org says about Pollyanna is that it "further solidified the little girl persona Pickford's fans loved." So no, it's not a defining role. Having said that, this argument over all these articles is getting ridiculous. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I feel the Pickford article needs some revisions but I havent had the time. I tried to reword it to match the source.  It didnt make her a top star at UA; just this period in her career was her height (she had already been very famous and would continue to be but this is when it was really reaaaallly high; along with her marriage to Fairbanks).  Hopefully that helps settle it a little with the source and rewording; I didnt think it was that major of a deal as everything I read said the same thing I wrote.  It was an after thought to the movie article really.--Thegingerone (talk) 06:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The source does not use the word define in any way. I think you need to let go of that word in regard to this film. The source said "further solidified." I've removed the fluffery from that paragraph altogether. It really isn't needed in regard to either Pickford or Mills. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Its not her article anyways so I guess it doesnt matter.--Thegingerone (talk) 07:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Pollyanna doesn't fall from a tree, she's hit by a car - at least in the book anyway, which is what the plot summary is - I would hope - supposed to summarise. It's correct later down the page, but not in the summary.

Poppy in Mike Leigh's film Happy Go Lucky is not a modern incarnation of the Pollyanna character. Leigh denies this interpretation outright around 4:55 in this youtube video. As such I'm removing this reference.--71.8.78.170 (talk) 05:02, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Wait for Me (poem)

Wait for Me (Жди меня), written by the Russian poet and playwright turned war correspondent Konstantin Simonov, is one of the best known Russian World War II poems.

Writing
The poem was written by Simonov over a few days in July 1941 after he left his love Valentina Serova behind to take on his new duties of war correspondent on the battlefront. In 1969, Simonov wrote in a letter to a friend: "The poem Wait for me has no special story. I just went to war, and the woman I loved was in the rear. And I wrote her a letter in verse". Simonov first read Wait for Me in public on October 13, 1941 in Murmansk. Simonov was serving as a war correspondent covering the ordeal of the 14th Army that was defending the Arctic port cities of Archangel and Murmansk against a German offensive launched from Norway and Finland. Simonov first tried to publish Wait For Me in Na Shturm, the newspaper of the 44th Army in November 1941 to which he had attached as a war correspondent. An attempt to publish Wait for Me in the Red Star, the newspaper of the Red Army was no more successful. Wait for Me was finally published on page 3 of Pravda on 14 January 1942, which first brought the poem to widespread attention. Little was expected of Wait for Me, as indicated by its place on page 3, but the poem became an unexpected hit.

Reception
One of the most popular poems ever written in Russia, Wait for Me was especially popular with the frontoviks (front-line soldiers) in the Great Patriotic War, as Russians call World War II. A number of servicemen cut out the poem from Pravda and mailed it to their girlfriends and wives, who in turn wrote poems declaring that they would wait for their men to return from the war. The popularity of Wait for Me took the Soviet authorities by surprise, but once aware of the enthusiastic public response as countless demands for the poem came in, Wait for Me became an unofficial poetical anthem that symbolized the willingness to endure sacrifices and pain in the pursuit of victory. The way that Wait for Me became popular was quite normal as the frontoviks would cut out from the newspapers poems that they liked and mail it off to their loved ones on the home front. The American scholars Richard Stites and James von Geldern wrote about the impact of Wait for me that it was : "...heard on the radio throughout the war, recited by millions as though it were a prayer, repeated by women as tears streamed down their faces, and adopted by men as their own expression of the mystical power of a woman's love".

During the war, it was common for Soviet newspapers to publish after-poems (poems written in response to another poem) by various women who declared their willingness to wait for the return of their husbands or boyfriends. Most frontoviks knew Wait for Me by heart, and it was very common for frontoviks to carry a locket with a picture of their wives or girlfriends in it, which a copy of Wait for Me was wrapped around, as a sign of their desire to return to their loved ones and to survive the war. Many soldiers seemed to believe that this would somehow help them to survive the war, as if declaring their love by wrapping the poem around a picture of their loved ones, would protect them and ensure that they would get back home.

A companion piece for Wait for Me was Kill Him!, a viscerally violent poem by Simonov that began with the line "Kill a German!/Kill him soon!", a poem that was popular at the time, but whose popularity faded after the war while the appeal of Wait for Me did not diminish after the war. Much of the popularity of Wait for Me during the war was the sense of longing expressed by the soldier narrator of the poem who promises to return to his woman whose love allows him to endure any suffering along the promise of a return to normality once the war ended. Likewise, much of the appeal of Wait for Me was the intimate and tender feelings expressed by the soldier narrator who wants to survive the war as he only wishes to return to the woman he loves once the war is over. At a time when bombastic war poems were common, Wait For Me stood out in the sense though the soldier narrator embraces his duty in the Great Patriotic War, but primarily wants to be with the woman he loves, which helped explained why so many servicemen along with their wives and girlfriends embraced the poem as a sort of an anthem.

Music and film adaptions
In 1942 Aleksandr Lokshin composed a symphonic poem for mezzo-soprano and orchestra on the verses of Wait for me. Lokshin composed later a version of the same work for baritone, piano and flute-piccolo. In 1943, the poem Wait for Me was turned into a film also entitled Wait for Me that was co-written by Simonov and starred Serova.

Talk:Duke of Valentinois

Succession boxes
By way of explanation, I've been removing this title from the succession boxes of the Princes of Monaco who held it for their entire lives since it's simply one of twenty-some titles held by the Grimaldi family (see Sovereign Prince of Monaco). However, I left it on Albert I, Princess Charlotte, and Rainier III since the two princes only held it for part of their lives, and Princess Charlotte was given it by Albert I, rather than simply inheriting it with a bunch of other titles. — Dan | Talk 00:37, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Isn't the title, as it is the rank of Duke, significant enough to merit inclusion? 132.205.45.148 20:37, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * So are all the Prince of Monaco's other titles (including three other dukes); the point is that there are far too many of them to include on every Prince's article. — Dan | Talk 22:47, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Edition Duke of Valentinois
Please don´t revert the editions, thi editions have verificable and true sources and references and all of them is in consonance with policy of Wikipedia. I suggset you, help to bet the article without partial sense but with true references and true references in pos from hitorical knowledge.

Thank you and be educated.

 * I'm afraid this article hasn't got any better. Some assertions and excessive detail to look at and a lot of editorializing in bad English. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 13:45, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

A favor for all of us
In pursuit to get a good article, well referenced and historically real from historical point, please don´t erase once at once at once by hiden interest. Duke of Valentinois is a simple title of Kingdom of France, it was instituted for Cesar Borgia and It is not the Count of Valentinois title which is ancient title based in a ancient Roman Empire Charge.

The redaction of this article must not cause disturbing in persons which pretend the title in one or another ways. The article is treated from the historical true point and it has nothing to see with Borgias or Grimaldis.

Front the afraid of any pretender the article is very clear. First Duke of Valentinois is not same that Duke of Valentinois jure uxoris that was delivered at Goyon Matignoc Grimaldi which was carried by last time inside French laws by Albert I. Duke of Valentinois delivered at Cesar Borgia was an ancient title instituted in two ways, inside French peerage and under Apostolic Authority and it is so different than Grimaldis title. The article is being explained step under historical true facts.

For that reason I ask you for intelligence, education, respect for other people labours and of course you can help to do best but you don´t disturbe the article or looking conflict with me for. And for that the article will be rewrite or remake how much times is need.

Thank you.

 * Please see comments in the section above, which apply to your most recent contributions. FactStraight (talk) 12:49, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Soon enough, if this continues, we could have him again as the current title holder, as was the case before I reverted. --Maragm (talk) 15:24, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Answers to multiple excuse without foundation arise by users
Ladies and Gentlemen, excuses without foundation have been arised by your, I explain:

First: House of Valois is a cadet branche of House of Capet. House of Valois is descendant of Charles Capet, Count of Valois who was younger brother of Philip Capet, best knew as Philip the Beauty or Philip the King of Iron. Second: House of Bourbon is a cadet branche of House of Capet. House of Bourbon is descendant of Louis Capet or Luois XI of France, throu his younger brother Robert, Count of Clermont, who married with Beatrix of Bourbon. Third: The title of Prince of France in France is not exclusive from Royal family. The exclusive title of Royal Family is Prince of the Blood; nevertheless, the title of Prince of the blood was be able to be delivered to a speciphic people choose by the King. Fourth: The title of Prince of Prance could be in two senses, highest Dukes were in fact, Princes of France and also existing some Princes foreigner who were Princes of France. Fifth: Dukes of France weren´t all of them equals, in this sense some had a highest rank than others but also in this sense, Dukes of France were superiors in rank to Subsidiaries Princes from France, it´s for this reason that Duke of Valentinois of Grimaldi was always subject to the effective Prince of Monaco, no one more was be able to carried the title and for that reason existed the rule Juro Uxoris. Sixth: Dauphiny was part of Holy Roman Empire and formed part of negotiation from carolingians with Holy See, House of Albon and Dauphiny were vassals of Holy See for centuries and this was the problem with France. This land ending passed to France with negotiations between Louis XII and Alexander VI. Septh: The noble titles just were noble titles from XIII and XIV centuries, before they just were charges coming form Roman Empires and their character was just like Major Militar or Gobernos Militar or Civil Ruler. It just until the noble titles were transformed in surrenders of the Kings this were delivered like titles with royal Patents, before noble titles were transformed little by little in vassals territories with authority for create coind and leave armies served to the King; nevertheless, many powerful vassals were more strongest than the King and this was combat by Capets and Valois and Bourbons; also by many other dinasties.

Thank you and please don´t disturbe more, be gentles and educated.

other time edition is erased without a logic reason, ladies and gentlemen this page is not a personal page about Grimaldi´s family, it is a Wikipedia page about history
Well, like i can see the wikiusers of always have disrupting for all, following doing the same. So It´s necessary putt o this rouble a name and that name is Duke of Valentiinois and Grimaldi´s, a name for a novel. Consequently and in pursuit to solve the problem, I´ll try to be cleared for all, for the users, for the Magazines, for the Royal Houses, for lineages, for business families, for entrepreneurs and Santodomingo.

One: A noble title is given by a Kingdom. A noble title is not given by a Republic.

Two: Honré II received title of Duke of Valentinois because he committed trait ion against Spain. Spain was his Metropoli.

Three: Honré II Grimaldi lost all his Spanish and Italian honours and titles but he was Duke of Valentinois, peer of France and vassal of France.

Four: Honoré IV Grimaldi had no sons. He had just one daughter, Louise Hipolithe Grimaldi, Duchess of Valentinois Suo Jure.

Five: In pursuit to conserve Monaco, Honoré IV Grimaldi concerts a marrying between his daughter and Jaqcues Goyon Matignon, who was authorized to use the title of Duke of Valentinois Jure Uxoris just after signed the contract.

Six: With the end of Empire of Napoleon III and rising of third Republic of France, all noble titles of France left to exist. That means Duke of Valentinois like all titles of Nobility in France don´t exists in fact.

Seven: Albert I is obliged to accept a constitutional Monarchy and the separation of economical patrimony of Grimaldi of the Monaco Patrimony like state. From that moment Duke of Valentinois is part of Crown of Monaco.

Eight: Louis II had no sons and then appeared Charlotte Louvet. It had never proved that Charlotte were daughter of Louis but today that could be proved with a genetically test made by a very serious and responsible institution, impartial and liked for history.

Nine: Charlotte is adopted against Constitution of France. Raymond Poincare committed a violation against Constitution of France and against French laws because he was not be able to restore or authorized the use of a Noble title of France; consequently Charlotte Louvet was not Duchess of Valentinois per se. The last legitimate Duke was Albert I.

Ten: Pierre of Polignac was Duke of Valentinois by marrying or Juro Uxoris. In that moment is adopted the colour magenta in the coat of arms of Monaco.

Eleven: The four Republic of France instituted by Charles d´Gaul confirmed that in France doesn´t exist titles of Nobility and nobles. Consequently, Rainier of Monaco is not Duke of Valentinois but the Crown of Monaco yes because is a state patrimony.

Twelve: Even Caroline Grimaldi is the Elder daughter of Rainier, she is not the heir of Monaco because her younger brother Albert, according the Monaco Constitution and treaties with France. So, she was no really the Duchess of Valentinois and she is not.

Thirteen: Couples of Caroline and Stephanie are not nobles, for that reason their sons and daughter are not nobles; excepting Alexandra of Hanover. Consequently, the grandsons of Caroline and Stephanie are not and will not be nobles just presunt heirs, thing that really has no significance.

Fourteen: Rainier of Monaco was be able to entitled or turn noble at his grandsons but he didn´t. Why he didn´t?.

Fifteen: Andrea Casiraghi was never a Prince just presunt heir and Caroline knew this; consequently is no understanding that she had promote that thing. She knew his younger brother was the heir and he had and have heirs. Consequently Santodomingo should have known that too. Tatiana Santodomingo would never be Duchess of Valentinois neither Princess of Monaco.

Sixteen: We know Julio Mario Santodomingo Junior was married with a British Duke´s daughter and he must know he will never a British Duke neither his sons because Dukedoms in Great Britain are matter of State, Dukes in Great Britain are “Your Highness” and they are inheritance just by male or agnatic lines and when this not happen the dukes return to the Crown.

Seventeen: The explanation is so cleared, easy to understand for all interested. There are no excuses for don´t understand. Noble titles of France don´t exist, from all Royal titles until Duke of Valentinois. Nor Albert II is Duke of Valentinois per se neither pretenders at the throne of France. Albert II Grimaldi is Duke of Valentinois just because he is the constitutional Prince of Monaco and that is just the theme. Eighteen: Today and according amendments and treaties with France, sons of Albert II Grimaldi, Gabrielle and Jaqcues can be heirs without distinction. They of both are effective Princes of Monaco and their sons too, because from 2012 Princess Gabrielle has the constitutional power to transmit her Rank at her future sons.

Nineteen: Today, Monaco doesn´t need any title of France in pursuit to justify its existence, lest the Duke of Valentinois, because Monaco is a Micro nation with Independence of France and it is an state recognized by international institutions; what for an inexistent title of Duke of Valentinois?.

Consequently and for all are disrupting all investigation, don´t disrupting more my labour, I am constructing a well historical articles and referencing each one of them. Wikipedia could be a great encyclopaedia if people has personal interest left to disrupting because its own interest.

This post is to easy to understand until for children. I suppose the adults are able to understand something so simple.

Thanks and be educated.

Marquette University High School

Marquette University High School (MUHS) is a private, all-male, Jesuit school located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

It is accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement, an accreditation division of Cognia. It is also a member of both the National Catholic Educational Association and the Jesuit Schools Network.

History
Founded as St. Aloysius Academy in 1857 on 2nd and Michigan St, the institution was renamed to St. Gall's Academy and moved location in 1864. The institution became Marquette College in 1881 when a new school was opened on 10th and State St, on the top of a hill. The hilltop location gave rise to the nickname and mascot: the Hilltoppers.

In 1907 Marquette College became Marquette University and formally separated from Marquette Academy. In 1922 Marquette Academy became Marquette University High School, and the campus at its current location was completed in 1925.

Campus
Marquette University High School is located at 3401 W. Wisconsin Avenue in the Merrill Park Neighborhood on Milwaukee's west side. It is a four-story building built in the early 20th century. In 1961, the gym and cafeteria addition was added. The Gordon Henke Center was completed in 1994 which included a new main entrance on W. Michigan St. In 2008, the attached Jesuit residence was demolished to make way for a 1-story administrative and fine arts addition. Another 2 stories was built on top in 2016 creating 3 stories adjacent to the original 1925 building. In addition to the new classrooms, an atrium and expansion to the Henke entrance was added.

The Hilltoppers' home field for soccer and track is Quad/Park, located a few blocks away adjacent to Merrill Park. It was donated by former MUHS graduate Harry Quadracci ('54), in 1998. The site was formerly occupied by Marquette Stadium, which opened in 1924 and was demolished in 1976.

Athletics
Nicknamed the "Hilltoppers", MUHS teams compete in the Greater Metro Conference of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) for most sports. Prior to 1999, MUHS competed in the now defunct Wisconsin Independent Schools Athletics Association (WISAA). The school fields teams in baseball, basketball, cross country running, downhill skiing, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, rugby union, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling.

MUHS teams have won 28 WIAA state titles in soccer, volleyball, tennis, baseball, and football, as well as the lacrosse team's 2010 and 2013 WLF state championships. In the summers of 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 the Hilltoppers were ranked #1 in the state for overall boys' athletics by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. In the program's history, the Hilltoppers have won over 130 State Championships.

Basketball
The basketball team was 84–29 in five seasons from 1997 to 2002. The team won the 1999 Greater Metro Conference and WISAA Division I State Boys Basketball Championships, when the Hilltoppers went 21–3 and defeated Dominican High School in the championship game. The basketball team also won Greater Metro conference championships in the 1997–98 and 1999–2000 seasons. In 2010, the Hilltopper basketball team made it to the WIAA Division I state semifinals, before losing to eventual champion Arrowhead. In 2016, The Hilltoppers made another run in the post season, eventually losing to Muskego in the WIAA Division I state semifinals. In 2024, The Hilltoppers defeated Arrowhead to claim the WIAA Division I state championship.

Cross country
The MUHS cross country team has won the Greater Metro Conference meet 8 of the last 9 years, and took third at both the 2007 and 2008 WIAA state meets, as well as second in 2009, 2010, and 2020.

Football
Marquette has a football team that dates back to 1907, playing in over 1,000 games. Over that time, Marquette has won 701 games, 40 conference titles and 9 state titles. Their most successful coach, Dick Basham, coached Marquette for 38 seasons and 42% of its 1,000 games. In 2009 (his last season), the Hilltoppers went 14–0 to win the WIAA Division 1 state title. In 2023, Marquette defeated Franklin in the WIAA Division I state championship. The team currently has a partnership with ESPN Milwaukee Radio for all home and away games. Marquette football is the most historically successful high school football program in the state, with more than 140 more wins than the second place team.

Lacrosse
The MUHS lacrosse team has competed in the state tournament five times since its creation in Spring 2003 and won its first state title in 2010, which completed an undefeated season in Wisconsin. The lacrosse team annually competes against other Jesuit schools from around the United States, traveling to Indianapolis every spring where Jesuit teams from across the Midwest compete. In 2013, the MUHS lacrosse team won its second state title, with another undefeated season in Wisconsin under long-time head coach Rich Pruszynski. Rich is Wisconsin's all-time most successful boys' lacrosse coach and the first WI high school coach to guide a team to 100 wins, which was also done in 2013.

Soccer
Since 1973, the soccer program has won 24 state championships and tied a national record of 10 straight state championships from 1994 to 2003. The Hilltoppers were ranked #1 in the country by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in 1999 and in 2003. The 2011 soccer team finished the season with an undefeated record of 24–0–1 and were ranked 4th in the US by the NSCAA and 3rd by ESPN. In 1996 and 2011 the soccer coach, Bob Spielmann and Steve Lawrence, respectively, were selected as National High School Coach of the Year.

In 2012, the Hilltoppers won the state championship, defeating Kettle Moraine High School, 2–1. In 2014, the Hilltoppers once again won a state title by beating Menomonee Falls 4–1. Throughout the 2010s, they won 8 out of 10 possible state championships. The two years they did not win came in 2013 and 2019. The loss in 2019 broke a streak of 5 straight state championships. Marquette recaptured the state championship in 2020 and mounted a successful title defense in 2021.

FIRST Robotics
FIRST Robotics Competition Team 1732 - Hilltopper Robotics was founded in 2006 under the leadership of John Wanninger, who was a recipient of the Woodie Flowers Award in 2008. The team is co-ed, welcoming students from Divine Savior Holy Angels High School. A total of 7 regionals have been won by the team, with regional wins in 2022, 2017, 2014, 2013, and 2010. The Chairman's Award, the most prestigious award in FIRST was won 2 times, in 2012 and 2014. The team qualified for the FIRST Championship 11 times, with championship division playoffs reached several times.

Science Olympiad

Webster Club
Named after the famed orator Daniel Webster, the Webster Club encompasses speech and debate at MUHS. The club was recently commended for its sixtieth year of appearances at the National Speech and Debate Tournament hosted by the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA). The Webster Club is famous for its winning streak in the 1980s under James Copeland (namesake of the Coach of the Year award), who would later go on to become the NSDA's Executive President. It has produced numerous state champions recently in 2023, 2022, and 2021.

List of Interstate that started out with multiple discontiguous segments

 * I'm not oppossed to articles about highways per se, but if someone were to ask me for an example of an unencyclopedic list, this is what I'd use. Slac speak up!  00:37, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * An utterly meaningless list -- any Interstate highway that was built between multiple states would have been built in segments. More interesting would be such a list of currently discontinuous such highways -- I-95 would be one good example. It has a break in New Jersey and is likely to stay that way for at least the next decade. Haikupoet 00:44, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * See List of gaps in Interstate Highways. --SPUI (talk) 12:20, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * There was a time when some Interstates had discontiguous segments (e.g. discrete freeway segments). When I-75 started, it had an independent segment between Grayling, MI and Michigan State Highway 32 near Gaylord, MI, so keep. --SuperDude 01:09, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * That's not a reason for keeping. How is this information notable? Slac  speak up!  01:10, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Many Interstates had, or started with, discontinous segments, plus the exact definition is a bit nebulous. Also problematic title. Particularly notable or unique Interstates in this regard could probably be mentioned on the main Interstate Highway article, instead of a separate article. Niteowlneils 01:29, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Please, please don't let Wikipedia degenerate into the sum of all trivia. -- Dcfleck 01:41, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)
 * Delete. An article about the building of the Interstates, describing the process of integrating multiple segments, could be encyclopedic. This list, however, has virtually zero information content. FreplySpang (talk) 02:03, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Roadcruft, trivial, etc. android↔talk 02:22, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for reasons stated. I'm more convinced than ever that SuperDude115 and SamuraiClinton are one and the same.  Result:  More cruft on VfD.  Sigh... - Lucky 6.9 02:59, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, almost every Interstate fits here. The information could be included in the articles about the Interstates, along with opening dates. --SPUI (talk) 12:20, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as per SPUI. RussBlau 19:09, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn. RickK 21:18, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete but perhaps list as requested article something along the line suggested by FreplySpang, unless (s)he can start it. Maybe it should just be a section in the parent article as Niteowlneils suggested, unless there are enough reference materials available to write a good non-copyvio article.  Barno 00:05, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Who would look this up?! --Idont Havaname 15:27, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Such lists are joke w/o encyclopedic value. Pavel Vozenilek 09:26, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of Interstate Highways, or list on that page's talk page. Clearly someone found this information useful. Have you asked them why they added it before voting it for deletion? Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that it's not important in a certain field. Babe Ruth is a baseball god but if you don't know anything about baseball then you might think that he's unencyclopedic. If you are into highway construction or highway history then this list may have value. Any highway construction experts want to confirm or refute this? - Pioneer-12 12:15, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The only thing to merge would be one line saying every Interstate of sufficient length has had discontinuous segments as it was being built. And the creator (SuperDude115) commented above. I am a roadgeek and know a lot in this area, and this list is rather useless. --SPUI (talk) 13:45, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I defer to SPUIs expert opinion as a roadgeek. Changing my vote to Delete - Pioneer-12
 * SPUI is right. The thing is that while Interstates were built with 90% Federal funding, they were built by state highway departments, so there would be discontinuities anyway until the various parts were connected. Moreover, within states they were often built in segments. Haikupoet 16:23, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Note that something like this page would be useful, as it documents the specific cases when the in-between nonupgraded sections were actually signed as a TEMPORARY Interstate. It might be useful to have a page with more details of that (probably actually combined with a list of Interstates signed as FUTURE). More details would be nice, as some of these may have only existed on maps, while old signage photos could prove the existence (and believe me, those signage photos do often exist, though they are many times very hard to find - the state DOT is one option, as many have photolog systems). --SPUI (talk) 17:02, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, for instance has two photos of temporary I-15 and I-15E shields. --SPUI (talk) 17:03, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Propeller Arena

Propeller Arena: Aviation Battle Championship is a video game for the Dreamcast console. It was originally titled Propeller Head Online, and was to be released on September 19, 2001. The game was trademarked on August 14, 2001. It was developed and completed by the development team Sega AM2, but the game was never officially released. The release was cancelled just days after the September 11 attacks, citing both similarities in game packaging and design to the events of that day   as well as the Dreamcast's declining market share resulting in projected low sales numbers.

The game was on display at E3 on May 19, 2001. After it was postponed, they were working to change the game cover art to remove sensitive images.

Hopes of a port to another console never materialized. However, a disk image of the game was eventually leaked, and became a popular download on many peer-to-peer networks.

Plot
In 2045, there is an air combat tournament with planes from the World War II era. Several pilots join the tournament, each with their own reasons.

Gameplay
Propeller Arena consists of quick dog fight deathmatches in limited areas.

The game has four modes: the main game, Championship, which is a sequence of dogfights; Quick Battle, a single dogfight; Training Arena, a number of training missions and minigames; and Network, the online mode. Beating the game and the training missions unlocks extra characters and levels.

The game features force feedback via support for the Dreamcast Jump Pack.

Soundtrack
The game's soundtrack, consisting of punk rock, was created by both "branches" of Sega: a Japanese team (Sachio Ogawa and Tomoya Koga) had 13 songs composed and produced in-house, while an American team arranged a deal with the Fat Wreck Chords label to license nine songs from the bands Consumed, Zero Down, No Use for a Name, Mad Caddies, and Rise Against. Some of Sega's original songs were remixed as instrumental versions and reused in their 2006 sports game Virtua Tennis 3.
