Pediatric nursing

Pediatric nursing is part of the nursing profession, specifically revolving around the care of neonates and children up to adolescence. The word, pediatrics, comes from the Greek words 'paedia' (child) and 'iatrike' (physician). 'Paediatrics' is the British/Australian spelling, while 'pediatrics' is the American spelling.

Direct nursing
Nursing functions vary regionally, by individual education, experience, and individual career goals. These functions include the administration of procedures and medicines according to prescribed nursing care plans. Nurses observe vital signs and develop communication skills with children and family members, as well as with other medical personnel. Awareness of the concerns of children and parents, physical presence at times of stress, and helping children and family members cope are common functions of direct nursing care

Neonatal nursing
Neonatal nurses specialize in working with the youngest patients(infants). Neonatal nursing focuses on providing care and support for newborn babies delivered prematurely or who are suffering from health problems such as birth defects, infections, or heart deformities. Many neonatal nurses work in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) providing specialized medical care to at-risk newborns.

A dysmature newborn "is one whose developmental level is poor at birth. These newborns require a special type of care, due to their health issues, such as:

 * Inadequate respiratory function
 * Poor control of body temperature
 * Increased tendency to bleed
 * Poor resistance to infection
 * Poor nutrition
 * Immature kidneys and skin
 * Jaundice

Neonatal nurses employ medical techniques, including the use of incubators. Essentially, the incubator "provide[s] proper heat, humidity, oxygen, and mist... and protection from infection." The medical apparatus provides essential medical care for at-risk newborns.

Emergency nursing
Pediatric nurses are expected to provide a quick response to stressful circumstances in life-threatening situations. Key features of pediatric emergency nursing include:
 * Handling multifaceted trauma, injury or illness cases without letting the patients succumb to the urgency of the situation
 * Stabilizing patients
 * Quickly diagnosing conditions and providing on-spot solutions
 * Administering appropriate medications to address pain
 * Upgrading skills and knowledge
 * Remaining patient and caring for the traumatized families accompanying the patient
 * Maintaining equanimity around patients who do not improve.

Pediatric nurse practitioners
Pediatric nurse practitioner must attend school for at least two years after earning a bachelor's degree, pass an examination, and apply to their state board of nursing.

Psychiatric Nursing
Some pediatric nurses can choose to return to school for their masters in psychiatric nursing. Pediatric psychiatric nurses are responsible for caring for children and adolescents with psychiatric problems.

Goals

 * Normalize the life of the child during hospitalization.
 * Minimize the impact of the child's unique condition.
 * Foster growth and development.
 * Develop realistic, functional and coordinated home care plans.
 * Respect the roles of the families.
 * Prevent disease and promote health.

Australia
A registered nursing license is required to practice. A registered nurse requires a Bachelor of Science (Nursing), a 3–4 years full-time training. Once completed 12–18 months in a clinical setting is required, followed by completing a graduate certificate in pediatric nursing.

United States
The CPN (certified pediatric nurse) exam validates knowledge and expertise beyond the prerequisite Registered Nurse (RN) licensure. Eligible RNs may have a diploma, associate's degree, BSN, MSN, or higher nursing degree and must have a minimum of 1800 hours of pediatric nursing experience. Over 30,000 nurses actively held CPN certification as of April 15, 2021.

Training involves a mix of formal education and clinical experiences. Pediatric nurses can become certified in the field and may choose to further specialize. Students can enroll in an associate or bachelor's degree program. Some diploma programs offered exclusively through hospitals may also prepare students for the RN exam.

Southern and eastern Africa
Strengthening the pediatric nursing workforce has been recommended as a primary strategy to reduce under-five mortality in African nations. Children make up close to half the population in many African countries, but research suggests that children's nurses often make up less than 1% of the nursing workforce: a 2019 workforce survey found approximately 4,000 qualified children's nurses in South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi and Kenya. The majority (8/10) were in South Africa.

Career overview
Pediatric nurses work in settings including doctor's offices and community-based settings to hospitals and critical care facilities. Pediatric nurses may assist pediatricians or work alongside them. Pediatric nurses offer primary care services such as diagnosing and treating common childhood illnesses and conducting developmental screenings. Acute care and specialty services are also available for the chronically ill. Some pediatric nurses and nurse practitioners specialize in areas such as cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology or oncology. Pediatric nurses are responsible for helping patients adapt to a hospital setting and prepare them for medical treatments and procedures. Nurses also coach parents to observe and wait for important signs and responses to therapies, to increase the child's comfort, and even to provide ongoing care.

Education
Pediatric nursing specialties require specialized education. Nurses must first become a registered nurse (RN), gain experience in a pediatric health care facility and then pass the Certified Pediatric Nurse (CPN) exam. If a CPN wants to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, they must return to school to receive their masters. 45% of undergraduate pediatric nursing students reported a lack of student direct care clinical learning opportunities with children

Counseling
Injury-prevention strategies and anticipatory guidance are provided via counseling. Helping the child or family solve a problem is often a focus, usually provided by advanced practice nurses or other experienced nurses.

Advocacy
The effective advocate nurse must be aware of the child's and the family's needs, the family's resources, and available health care services. Nurses help reinforce families to help them make knowledgeable choices about medical services and to act in the child's best interests.

Richard Potts

Richard Potts (July 19, 1753 – November 26, 1808) was an American politician and jurist.

Early life and career
Potts was born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and lived there until he moved with his family to the Barbados Islands in 1757. He returned to Maryland and settled in the state capital of Annapolis in 1761, where he studied law. He commenced the practice of law in Frederick County, Maryland in 1775. Potts served as a member of the committee of observation for Frederick County in 1776 and as military aide to the Governor of Maryland in 1777.

Law career
Potts served as clerk of the Frederick County court from 1777 to 1778, and as prosecuting attorney for Frederick, Montgomery, and Washington Counties in 1784. He was appointed by President George Washington as United States attorney for Maryland, and served from 1789 to 1791.

He was a delegate to the Maryland State Convention of 1788, to vote whether Maryland should ratify the proposed Constitution of the United States. Potts also served as a member of the Continental Congress in 1781, and as member of the Maryland convention which ratified the Constitution of the United States in 1788.

From 1791 to 1793 and again from 1796 to 1801, Potts served as chief judge of the fifth judicial circuit of the State. He was later appointed associate justice of the Maryland Court of Appeals, a position he served in from 1801 to 1804.

Political career
Potts' political career included two terms in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1779 to 1780, and again from 1787 to 1788. He declined the nomination to be elected to the Maryland State Senate in 1787, but served as a presidential elector in 1792. He was elected to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Charles Carroll of Carrollton and served from January 10, 1793, to October 24, 1796, when he also resigned. Potts declined an appointment as Secretary of State in 1795. Potts died in Frederick in 1808, and was interred in All Saints’ Parish Cemetery until his reinterment in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Frederick.

TiK

TiK was an open source instant messaging client for the AOL Instant Messenger service, which used AOL's TOC protocol. It was written in Tcl, using the Tk GUI framework. Reportedly, the "T" and the "K" in TiK's name stands for "Tk", and the "i" stands for "instant messenger".

It was originally created and maintained by AOL, and the first public release, version 0.25 Beta, was made available on November 20, 1998. AOL continued to maintain TiK until the release of version 0.75 Beta on July 13, 1999. By December 1999, the project was abandoned by AOL and its official website had been silently removed, with a promised subsequent release having never materialized. Several unofficial forks emerged to continue development and fill the vacuum left by AOL, the most prominent being the one hosted at SourceForge. This fork, too, eventually stalled; its last release was version 0.90, in June 2001.

With the discontinuation of the AIM service in 2017, TiK and other AIM clients are now of primarily historical interest.

User talk:Askolnick

Very sorry to see you gone, ask. :-( I hope you change your mind, you're a valuable contributor. Bishonen | talk 22:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC).

 * I agree. He had the Balles (award).  Bubba73 (talk), 13:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I hope to see you back, too. You had an admirable fortitude. --BillC 14:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

 * the bad editors are driving good editors away. Bubba73 (talk), 17:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Am surprised by your departure -- and feeling a bit guilty, afraid that I may have been one of the SPAs who caused you frustration. As a new user I tried hard to follow the guidelines and be cordial, and I really appreciate all that you did to help orient me to Wikipedia culture. You were gracious in answering my questions, and I do appreciate your kind comments on my Talk page. In your absence, however short or long, I will do my best to respect your contributions to the article on Transcendental Meditation. My only hope is that the criticisms be fair and accurate. I have no interest in removing all of them, especially since they are only a quick Google away. The Wikipedia article on Transcendental Meditation represents our best hope for a valuable middle ground between the exclusively positive TM sites and the exclusively critical anti-TM sites. It is here that people will be able to see both sides presented in a neutral and even-handed way and then come to whatever conclusion they wish. TimidGuy 15:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Adding garbage to articles
Adding garbage to the middle of an article as you did here is not appropriate. We've never crossed paths before, and I haven't looked up your contributions, but if this is typical of your editing style than I understand why you'd find things to be painful. If you happen to come back to read this, and this was a single event brought on by wikistress rather than your typical editing style, then please accept my appology for bringing it up this way on your talk page. Best wishes, whatever decision you make in regards to Wikipedia. --Stéphane Charette 23:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What is really inappropriate is your attacking a departed editor in this way, three days after the edit in question. Perhaps you should have bothered to look at his contribs first. And you sound rather as if you think Askolnick put an argument visibly in the article itself—you do realize it was a commented-out query, I hope? Bishonen | talk 15:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC).
 * Whether someone has temporarily left, permenantly left, or hasn't left at all, I still stand by my statement that adding this block of text into the middle of the article is not appropriate. Note that this wasn't the first time this was done -- if you look through the history of the article, Askolnick had done this before.  Should all wrong behaviour be excused simply because someone threatens to leave Wikipedia?  No.  This wasn't an attack, as you attempted to label it.  I was simply calling attention on Askolnick's talk page to something s/he did that was not appropriate.  In addition, I don't know of a regulation that prevents me from bringing up on a talk page something that happened 3 days ago.  If you look at my own contributions, you'll note that I was away on vacation for just under 2 weeks which is why I didn't see this on the day it happened.  --Stéphane Charette 17:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * A "regulation"? Oh, please. It's quite all right to apply your ordinary human judgement, you know. And, yeah, I will "attempt to label" the word "garbage" (in the heading, yet—the only heading on this blanked page) as "an attack". Please just think about it. Bishonen | talk 18:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC).
 * Leave off, Bishonen, this Askolnick was not right in the head. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.205.183.4 (talk) 16:26, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Spiricom fact tags
Looks like you left Wikipedia, but incase you didn't, I just wanted to let you know that I deleted the fact tags you placed after every paragraph about Spiricom on the EVP page. I think thats going a little overboard. I instead added a faculaity dispute tag at the top of the article section which I feel is more appropriate. Cyberia23 22:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

TM
Thanks for your comments at the TM arbcom. I hope we at Wikipedia can provide a more balanced and even heading review of this topic than often found in the mainstream press. Cheers -- Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:53, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Mr Skolnick your reputation of course proceeds you and I too would like to thank you for your comment on the TM article. Unfortunately, because you have added it to the talk section of (and not the evidence section) of the evidence section, your comments will be excluded from the final arbitration process I think (and will be read by very few). Would you be kind enough to copy them to this section [] please? This may then allow them to be read by all and perhaps influence the decision process? If you require and help please let me know. I too have a professional interest in the state of research and would be happy to assist. Tuckerj1976 (talk) 00:08, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Thank you both for your comments.
 * Afraid my Wikipedia navigation and posting skills have gotten quite rusty. I'll try to copy my evidence statement to the correct section.--Askolnick (talk) 04:50, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey! You're back!
I didn't realize you'd come back until your edit to James Randi showed up on my watchlist. It's great to see you again! Bishonen | talk 01:18, 18 August 2012 (UTC).

 * Hey, so nice to get such a warm welcome. Truth is that I have poked my head back in here once in a while to change something that I noticed .  Can't chat right now.  Want to add one more thing to Randi's articlee (about his exposure of Popoff's con game on Johnny Carson's show.  Would love to catch up. send me your email and I'll try to continue this tomorrow.

 * More later.
 * Andrew Askolnick (talk) 01:31, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

 * :-) I thought I was seeing things at first — it really saddened me when you left. I've got the e-mail, I'll use it when I've got a moment — please remove it from public view. You'll be getting malicious crawlbots finding it and then you'll get a lot of spam. Do you know about the "e-mail this user" feature which you can enable through your preferences? I know it seems like fuss and red tape, but it's actually helpful. I've written a note for you on your bio talkpage — nothing too urgent — about a reference. (After fully enjoying the discussion on the page about the inappropriateness of calling an [editor] an [editor].) Bishonen | talk 14:00, 18 August 2012 (UTC).

 * Oh, you're making me verklempt. So nice to feel missed.  Usually I just feel good when people miss me with stones and broken bottles ;-o   Still have to put off that chat.  I spent so much time working on adding much more to Peter Popoff section of the article on James Randi.  I've forgotten how to "Wiki" and I'm especially rusty writing "reference Klingon."  Would you kindly look over my edit and fix any problems and give me some feedback?  I'm considering doing more in the future than popping back into Wikipedia every few months or so to add or correctjust a few words here and there.

 * Just remember: Be careful what you wish for ;-0

 * Looking forward to catching up more soon. Best, Askolnick (talk) 19:56, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I've become quite reasonable at wikiing over the years — one of my socks even started creating simple templates recently, which astonished me rather. (Check her page if you want to admire them.) The currently fashionable reference Klingon is unfortunately an exception. I can handle the old, if that'll serve. Let me take a look. Bishonen | talk 21:37, 18 August 2012 (UTC).

 * Oh… heck. There's something wrong with one of the footnotes to your refurbished paragraph. Note number 6. It's supposed to be a new note, referencing the Peter Popoff stuff, isn't it? And you added it? I so wish I understood the "ref name" stuff better, or indeed at all. I hate it so much. But what I think happened there is that you re-used a ref name (namely, "Randi") which was already in use, as the oddly low number of it suggests. There's a ref name="Randi" already in the intro. You have used it for a different reference. Or that's what I think. The software seems to have reacted by ignoring your new reference, and instead pointing to the already existing note 6, which is about Uri Geller and the term woo-woo. (And which is a dead link, at that; I just tagged it.) That makes sense, if you think about it.

 * If I was more sure of my ground here I'd just fix it, but as it is, you'd better do it. Just give the note a new "name". I'm sure the rest of the reference is fine (just not currently showing up).

 * Otherwise, everything seems good. You may well get complaints about bunching up all the footnotes at the end of the paragraph, though I think it's the best place for them, myself. Either there, or all at the first sentence (that's preferred in my own field, but not comprehended on Wikipedia). They all refer to the whole of it, after all. But people often think, or pretend to think, that a particular sentence "needs a citation". There's no pleasing them; I'd leave it as it is.

 * The Peter Popoff story is just delightful. :-) Bishonen | talk 23:07, 18 August 2012 (UTC).

Your comments from 19 August
Hi Askolnick. I'm sorry to land this on you when (as I understand it) you have just returned to active editing. However, the comment you posted on this page on 19 August was potentially libellous, so I have removed and suppressed the content. Please do not re-add comments of that nature to any page on the English Wikipedia. Whether you discuss the matter off-site, by e-mail or similar, is of course not my concern. Thank you for your understanding. AGK [•] 17:23, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

 * AGK, sorry. It finally sunk in that you were referring to my comments to Bishonen -- not to any of the editing I did on Aug.19. I don't know the comments you objected to, but it doesn't matter, I didn't intend them to be public, just for Bishonen.  I forgot how things work here. I'll keep in mind that everything posted on one's talk page is the same as being published in Wikipedia. I'm sorry for misunderstanding and sounding off. I thought you were referring to my editing -- which of course is utterly infallible ;-) Askolnick (talk) 19:24, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I was somewhat taken aback by your response, so I'm glad to see it arose from a misunderstanding. No apology is necessary, and I'll let you return to the proper work of editing. Question your editing? Goodness, no :-). AGK  [•] 20:06, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Not necessary, but clearly warranted. Sorry I didn't read you message more carefully.  I get that way sometimes when I find myself "suppressed."  :-(   You guys need to find a gentler word than "suppressed.  How about, "You've been oversighted..." Much nicer ;-) Askolnick (talk) 21:15, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, the process has an awful name. Bureaucrat is probably the only worse title on Wikipedia, and like Suppression/Oversight it was named when we didn't seem to think these things through very well... Regards, AGK  [•] 21:35, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * What? I'm disillusioned. I always assumed "Bureaucrat" was deliberately humorous. The only problem with the word is that the spelling defeats most wikipedians. Bishonen | talk 22:02, 21 August 2012 (UTC).

James Emerson Tennent

Sir James Emerson Tennent, 1st Baronet, FRS (born James Emerson; 7 April 1804 – 6 March 1869) was a Conservative Member of the United Kingdom Parliament for the Irish seats of Belfast and of Lisburn, and a resident Colonial Secretary in Ceylon. Opposed to the restoration of a parliament in Dublin, his defence of Ireland's union with Great Britain emphasised what he conceived as the liberal virtues of British imperial administration. In Ceylon, his policies in support the growing plantation and wage economy met with peasant resistance in the Matale Rebellion of 1848. In recognition of his encyclopedic surveys of the colony, in 1862 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Early life
He was born in North Street, Belfast, on 7 April 1804, third and only surviving son of William Emerson (d. 1821), of Ardmore, County Armagh, a wealthy tobacco merchant, and Sarah, youngest daughter of William Arbuthnot of Ardmore, County Armagh. He was educated at the Belfast Academy and at Trinity College.

Volunteer in Greek War of Independence
With his college friend, Robert James Tennent, he took up the cause of Greek independence. At the beginning of 1824 he travelled to Greece, and when he arrived in Messolonghi, joined the artillery corps formed by Lord Byron. He was to remain at the side of the poet until his death in April. After a respite of some months in England, he returned to Greece in March 1825. Appointed a captain of artillery, some sources place him in the battle to break the Siege of the Acropolis in Athens.

In 1826 he published in London his first book entitled Picture of Greece, which contributed to the development of the philhellenic sentiment in Great Britain. It was followed by Letters from the Aegean (1829), and a History of Modern Greece (1830). He also authored a series of unsigned articles in the British press, supporting the Greek struggle.

Called to the Bar, married
In 1831, with the support of Jeremy Bentham, he was called to the English bar at Lincoln's Inn. That same year, he married his friend's cousin, Letitia, co-heiress to the mercantile fortune of her father, the Belfast merchant-patrician (and former United Irishman) William Tennent. After his father-in-law's death in 1832, by royal licence Emerson added Tennent to his family name.

Enters Parliament for Belfast
Following the Reform Act of 1832, both he and Robert Tennent decided to contest the first open election for the two-seat Belfast constituency, previously in the "pocket" of the town's proprietor, Lord Donegall. Emerson choose to stand as an Independent Whig in the Donegall interest, while (consistent with both is father's and his uncle's democratic politics) stood as a Whig on a platform of further reform. Emerson Tennent and a Tory candidate prevailed in a victory that Protestant loyalists celebrated with an attack on the central Catholic district (Hercules Street) and with an attempt to ransack Robert Tennent's house.

Once in Parliament, Emerson Tennent took the Tory whip. He supported Sir Robert Peel in his first ministry (1834–35), but broke with his "liberal Conservatives" over the repeal of the Corn Laws in his second (1841–46). He joined the moderate Conservative followers of Edward Smith-Stanley, the Earl of Derby.

Replying to Daniel O'Connell in the 1834 Commons debate on Repeal of the Union, Emerson Tennent sought to eschew the Protestant sectionalism and fear of Catholicism, generally assumed to be the central elements of unionist thought. Instead, he raised issues close to O'Connell heart as a campaigning abolitionist. Reflecting on the recent vote to suppress slavery in the British Empire, he remarked: "I shall never fail to regard it as a proud distinction that I have myself been enabled, during the course of the last twelve months, to contribute my own humble vote, to extend the blessings of freedom from the confines of India to the remotest shores of the Atlantic; to liberate the Hindoo, and to strike off the fetters of the African. These are the triumphs beyond the reach of a 'Local Legislature'...toward which the highest ambition of an Irish Parliament could never soar; these are the honours which enable our birth-place as Irishmen, to add to our distinctions the glory of being Britons."At the end of 1845, his promising parliamentary career (in 1841 he had been made Secretary to the Board of Control) came, temporarily, to end when he realised that his strong support for Catholic civil and political equality in Ireland had compromised his chances of re-election from Belfast. Following apparent defeat in the August 1837 general election, he was only seated on petition. In the July 1841 general election his victory was disputed, and a new writ issued; he regained the seat in the ensuing by-election (August 1842).

Colonial administrator, Ceylon
In 1845 Emerson Tennent was knighted and appointed Colonial Secretary of Ceylon, where he remained until 1850. In a response to an economic depression that severely affected growers and merchants for coffee and cinnamon, he persuaded Earl Grey, Secretary of State for Colonies in London to shift the burden of the colony's tax revenue from export duties to imposts on guns, dogs, carts, and shops, and to a tax to be paid in lieu of compulsory labour on plantation roads. The policy sharpened the plight of the progressively dispossessed peasantry and increased the pressure upon them to submit to wage labour, their resistance to which had forced cash-crop planters to import large numbers of Tamil "coolies" from southern India. The resulting tensions contributed to the Matale Rebellion of 1848.

Emerson Teennet's reflections on his residence in Ceylon appeared in Christianity in Ceylon (1850) and Ceylon, Physical, Historical and Topographical (2 vols., 1859). The latter was illustrated by his protégé, fellow Ulsterman Andrew Nicholl. The Oxford English Dictionary attributes to it the first use in English of "rogue elephant", a translation of the Sinhala term wal aliya. He was elected the second President of the newly formed Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, serving from 1846 to 1857.

Last years
On his return to the United Kingdom, he became member for Lisburn, and under Lord Derby was secretary to the Poor Law Board in 1852. From 1852 until 1867 he was permanent secretary to the Board of Trade, and on his retirement he was created a baronet of Tempo Manor in the Chapelry of Tempo in the County of Fermanagh. In 1862, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Emerson Tennent died in London on 6 March 1869. His family consisted of two daughters and a son, Sir William Emerson Tennent, who was an official in the Board of Trade, and at whose death the baronetcy became extinct.

Besides the books above mentioned, Emerson Tennent wrote Belgium in 1840 (1841), and Wine: its Duties and Taxation (1855), Sketches of the Natural History of Ceylon (1861), The Wild Elephant and The Method Of Capturing It in Ceylon (1867), and was a contributor to magazines and a frequent correspondent of Notes and Queries. He was a friend of both Charles Dickens and it was to Emerson Tennent that Dickens dedicated his last completed novel Our Mutual Friend (1865).

James Emerson Tennent is commemorated in the scientific name of a species of Sri Lankan lizard, Ceratophora tennentii.

Proposed deletion of Islands of Danger

The article Islands of Danger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "lack of notability - was unable to find any coverage in reliable sources"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Image Tagging Image:Floridaplate2003.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Floridaplate2003.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 14:10, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:Panchloranivea.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Panchloranivea.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Spam in UglyRipe
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on UglyRipe, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because UglyRipe is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting UglyRipe, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 07:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Grace Neill
Thanks for your nursing contribution to wikipedia. The Grace Neill page seems to be almost entirely from http://www.dnzb.govt.nz/dnzb/default.asp?Find_Quick.asp?PersonEssay=2N5 so I listed it on Copyright problems. I look forward to working with you on nursing articles. Matt 12:26, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Some additional pointers
Since you seem to be creating a number of great nursing articles, here's some things you can do when you create them.
 * If you put the text   at the bottom of an article then it adds the article to the nursing category so that people can find a list of all nursing related articles in one spot. (see ).
 * If you create an article that's just one or two paragraphs then this is called a stub. You can place the text   at the bottom of the page or, for nursing articles,   . This sets up a nifty banner at the bottom of the page (cf. Nursing research).

Again, keep up the good work. Matt 12:55, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about the category thing, I forgot the ":" when I refered to the category, so, it was like including your page in it instead of making a link in the text. I've fixed it. And I apologize for any incovenience. Afonso Silva 13:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

NursingWiki
Hi, my name is Joe (User Produnis) and I am the founder of NursingWiki. You asked me to contact you here... So, what's up? :-) ... As I am a german Wikipedian, who mainly works for the NursingWiki-project, I might read messages, posted there, sooner :)

Greetings
 A message to Nurse Wikipedians Open the message. I guess you're wondering who I am and all that. I'm currently training to be a nurse in Australia, but I'm here for a different reason, really.

Currently, English NursingWiki has around 90 articles, in comparison to the German NursingWiki, which has well over 2000 articles. I was wondering if a group of technically minded nurses would mind commiting some information to it and helping it grow.

It's a little bit different from Wikipedia, in that it's designed for content that Wikipedia cannot have, such as steps for drawing up a nursing plan and the like, but I'm finding it a valuable resource already in my education, and I think it could become a very valuable resource very quickly if it had a group of nurses comitting their knowledge.

Tell your friends, and be bold!

Adrenaline rush sports
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Adrenaline rush sports, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion of David Livingstone Primary
A tag has been placed on David Livingstone Primary requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ironholds (talk) 10:39, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Ianguy! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources.

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Tepidarium

The tepidarium was the warm (tepidus) bathroom of the Roman baths heated by a hypocaust or underfloor heating system. The speciality of a tepidarium is the pleasant feeling of constant radiant heat, which directly affects the human body from the walls and floor.

There is an interesting example at Pompeii; this was covered with a semicircular barrel vault, decorated with reliefs in stucco, and round the room a series of square recesses or niches divided from one another by telamones. The tepidarium was the great central hall, around which all the other halls were grouped, and which gave the key to the plans of the thermae. It was probably the hall where the bathers first assembled prior to passing through the various hot baths (caldarium) or taking the cold bath (frigidarium). The tepidarium was decorated with the richest marbles and mosaics; it received its light through clerestory windows on the sides, the front, and the rear, and would seem to have been the hall in which the finest treasures of art were placed.

In the Baths of Caracalla, the Farnese Hercules and the Farnese Bull (now in the National Archaeological Museum, Naples), the two gladiators, the sarcophagi of green basalt, and numerous other treasures were found during the excavations by Pope Paul III.

Allan Furlong

Allan Furlong (born January 26, 1942) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1987 to 1990 who represented the riding of Durham Centre.

Background
Furlong was educated at the University of New Brunswick, and was called to the Bar of New Brunswick in 1971. He worked as a lawyer before entering politics, and was a member of the firm Salmers and Furlong. He was also appointed acting small claims court judge in the judicial district of Durham, Ontario for bilingual trials.

Politics
Furlong was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1987 provincial election defeating his New Democratic Party opponent by 3,004 votes in the riding of Durham Centre. He served as a backbench supporter of David Peterson's government for the next three years.

The Liberals were defeated by the NDP in the 1990 provincial election, and Furlong lost his seat to NDP candidate Drummond White by 2,348 votes. He attempted to return to the legislature in the 1995 provincial election, but lost to Progressive Conservative candidate Jim Flaherty by over 15,000 votes amid a Progressive Conservative majority government victory.

Furlong endorsed Dalton McGuinty's bid to lead the Ontario Liberal Party in 1996.

Later life
Furlong worked as the Executive Assistant to federal Liberal Member of Parliament Judi Longfield until she was defeated in January 2006 by Jim Flaherty. Coincidentally, Longfield once held the same position for Furlong.

Vivitar

Vivitar Corporation is a manufacturer, distributor, and marketer of photographic and optical equipment originally based in Santa Monica, California. Since 2008, the Vivitar name serves as Sakar International's house brand for digital imaging, optics, mobile accessories, and audio products.

Products
The company's product line has included 35 mm SLR cameras, zoom lenses, flashes, film enlargers, binoculars, digital cameras, night vision products, point-and-shoot cameras, tripods, underwater cameras, smart home technology, health and wellness accessories, and other audio/video equipment.

Point and shoot cameras

 * ViviCam 55
 * ViviCam 7122

History

The company was founded in 1938 as Ponder and Best by Max Ponder and John Best. Max Ponder headed the sales department, while John Best ran the operations side of the company. Ponder and Best first imported German-made photo equipment. After World War II, the partnership began to import cameras and photographic equipment from Japan. They were instrumental in the introduction of many brands into the American market, including Mamiya/Sekor 35mm cameras, OM-System 35mm equipment, Kobena 8mm movie cameras, Sankyo/Komura wide-angle/telephoto adapter lenses and a full line of photographic darkroom equipment imported from many manufacturers throughout Japan and later Taiwan. They were also the sole U.S. distributor for Olympus products at this time. Ponder and Best were the first to gain acceptance for lenses with interchangeable mounts, allowing customers to use the same lens on different manufacturers' camera bodies.

In the early 1960s, the partners created the "Vivitar" brand to compete with major lens manufacturers. The company commissioned experienced lens designers and reputable Japanese optical lens manufacturers such as Kino Precision to produce their lens designs. By carefully positioning their limited product line with key photo retailers, they quickly built a reputation for good-quality lenses at modest prices. The retailers found that they could make good margins while giving good value. As their reputation grew, many contract lens manufacturers sought them out to carry their products under the Vivitar brand. In the 1970s, Vivitar introduced the Series 1 lenses. These computer-designed lenses were priced relatively low and claimed to out perform the optics of camera manufacturers of the day. After the success of its aftermarket lens line, Vivitar later introduced its own line of 35mm film cameras manufactured by Japanese companies such as Cosina. These include the Cosina-made Vivitar SLR and the Vivitar 35ES/EE series of rangefinder cameras.

Vivitar also offered a new type of semi-professional flash unit from National/Panasonic called the Vivitar 260. The flash was acclaimed for its innovative design, but criticized for its use of expensive 9-volt batteries. Recognizing the problem, Max Ponder travelled to Japan to meet with the manufacturer, offering suggestions for improvements based on the feedback received from customers. The improved flash was introduced in 1970 as the Vivitar 283, which quickly became the number one professional and enthusiast flash unit, outselling all its competitors combined and selling 3,000,000 units by 1973. In production for over 30 years, it was twice returned to production in response to customer demand after having been discontinued. There was also the model 285, which featured a zoom head to cover different focal length lenses and a built-in variable power setting. Earlier made-in-Japan Vivitar flashes have a trigger voltage of 250 V, which can damage the circuits of some digital cameras. Newer units made in China and Korea are low-voltage units producing 5 to 12 volts. The 283 and 285 have a removable sensor; an optional remote sensor cord makes off-camera automatic flash possible.

After Ponder and Best
After the deaths of Max Ponder and John Best, company ownership was transferred to a variety of owners. Some digital compact cameras were launched but were not successful. In November 2006, the corporation was purchased by the public company Syntax-Brillian Corporation for US$26 million in stock and was operated as a wholly owned subsidiary. On August 21, 2008, subsequent to its filing for bankruptcy, parent company Syntax-Brillian completed the sale of the Vivitar brand name and intellectual property to privately held consumer electronics maker Sakar International, based in Edison, New Jersey. Sakar did not purchase Vivitar's equipment, facilities or accounts receivable. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Current Vivitar operations

In August 2008, Sakar announced plans to position Vivitar as a brand for its current mass retail digital cameras in the midprice range of $70–$300, along with certain camera accessories. New Vivitar-branded products such as digital photo frames are also planned, as well as potential licensing opportunities. In January 2009 Sakar introduced three new Vivitar-branded cameras and a digital SLR lens series. The products are Sakar's first Vivitar-branded items since acquiring the brand. In addition to other electronics products, in 2013 they announced and then shipped the $150 XO Tablet, a 7-inch Android tablet designed for children, with a bilingual English/Spanish interface.

KLVJ (FM)

KLVJ (102.1 MHz, "K-Love" is a non-commercial educational FM radio station licensed to Encinitas, California and serving San Diego County. The station is owned by Educational Media Foundation and broadcasts a contemporary Christian music format as an affiliate of the K-Love network. KLVJ (then KPRI)'s studios were previously located in the Sorrento Valley district in north San Diego. Prior to 2015, the station, holding the KPRI call letters, was locally owned by Compass Radio Group and broadcast an adult album alternative format. On September 28, it was announced that Compass sold KPRI to EMF; the station began carrying K-Love programming the same day.

History
The station was first licensed to Oceanside, California as KXST; the city of license later changed to Encinitas.

KPRI - 'Capri-by-the-Sea'
When it first went on the air in the 1950s at 106.5 FM, the station billed itself as "KPRI: Capri-by-the-Sea", a middle of the road and jazz station with studios on 5th Avenue in San Diego. This early version of KPRI featured popular DJs like Rod Page and George Manning. KPRI continued with its MOR format, supplemented by a progressive rock show hosted by pioneering underground disc jockey Steve Brown (under the name "OB Jetty"). Finally, in May 1968, KPRI switched to a full-time progressive rock format. The lineup included Gabriel Wisdom, Fred Nurk, Dana Jones, and Joe Chandler. Peter Franklin (with British accent) was an early program director. Later additions to the air staff included Jerry Lubin, Adrian Bolt, The Kapusta Kid, Barrance Q Zakar, and Larry Himmel. Jim Lanter (known on-air as "Jim LaFawn") was the program director from 1971 to 1973; he later worked at KLOS in Los Angeles. In the early 1970s, Gerry Gazlay was the station's news director. Larry Shushan owned the station until 1971, when he sold it to Southwestern Broadcasting.

In 1973, KPRI hired Michael Harrison as PD. He installed a more mainstream album oriented rock format which influenced many other stations around the country. That same year, Gazley left KPRI to become a newscaster for competitor KGB-AM-FM; Gabriel Wisdom, Larry Himmel, and Barrance Q Zakar eventually followed him. KPRI and KGB-FM and battled for ratings supremacy throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s. Ultimately, KPRI lost the ratings war to KGB-FM.

KPRI - 'Independent Radio'
On January 9, 1984, KPRI changed its call letters and format. The last song that the station played as KPRI was "The End" by the Doors. Since then, the 106.5 FM frequency undergone several identity changes. According to David Tanny, operator of San Diego Radio News: "The KPRI that is back is basically the station that used to be KCBQ-FM ten years ago on 105.3 until it shifted radio transmitter locations from San Diego to Oceanside's 102.1 in a complex deal swap. In 2002, the station at 102.1 picked up the KPRI call sign when that became available. It was KXST from 1996 to 2002 between those times". While operating as KXST, the station called itself "Sets-102" and its programming featured sets of two or more songs by the same artist. That format was dropped with the switch to the KPRI call letters in 2002.

KPRI's transmission emitted a city-grade signal that covered most of San Diego County, but due to the topography of the county, there were certain areas the station served better than others. San Diego's affluent North County Coastal areas received the signal without interruption, while areas in main San Diego such as Pacific Beach or La Jolla had degraded "in home" reception due to interference caused by Mount Soledad. Previous ownership had set up rebroadcasters scattered across San Diego to improve transmission of the station, but because those created as many problems as they solved, KPRI stopped using some of them in 1997. On February 13, 2008, KPRI moved its transmitter to Mount Soledad. In 2014, the owners turned down an $8 million offer to sell the station.

From 1998 through 2015, the station operated under an adult album alternative (AAA) format. Believed the only AAA station in San Diego, and one of the few stations offering the format across the entire state, KPRI became known for its eclectic playlist. KPRI held various listener appreciation concerts, hosting artists such as Adele, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, and Norah Jones, as well as sponsoring the Green Flash concert series, held at the Birch Aquarium.

KLVJ - 'K-LOVE'
On the morning of September 28, 2015, KPRI's 20 employees were told that they had been laid off, and that the station had been sold to the Educational Media Foundation. At 5PM, after playing Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" as its final song, KPRI flipped to contemporary Christian music from EMF's K-Love network. Owner Hughes explained that KPRI had been a "true labor of love". He stated, "I thank each and every one who has helped us create and sustain a truly amazing radio station." Hughes had noted that the independent ownership had made KPRI difficult to operate profitably, as other stations in the market are owned by conglomerates in clusters of multiple stations each, and enjoy financial synergies as a result of their scale.

The sale to EMF, reportedly valued at $12 million, was subject to approval by the FCC, and was consummated on January 15, 2016. KPRI is EMF's third and largest station in the greater San Diego area, behind KKLJ Julian (which also airs K-Love) and KYDO Campo (which airs sister network Air1).

On October 27, 2015, KPRI changed callsigns to KLVJ.

Vanity. And it failed the google test. Lots of Stewart Marshes but most have to do with a knife company. --Woohookitty 03:47, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC) Delete. NN Mwanner 01:39, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Eberhard Faber

The Eberhard Faber Pencil Company was started by John Eberhard Faber in 1861 in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, by the East River at the foot of 42nd Street, on the present site of the United Nations Headquarters. After an 1872 fire, operations moved to the Eberhard Faber Pencil Factory in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, across the East River, which was acquired by Staedtler, a stationery company with global presence, in 1978. This factory was acquired by Faber-Castell USA in 1994 before being bought by Newell (Sanford) and eventually rolled into the Paper Mate brand.

Eberhard Faber had a lumber mill on Atsena Otie Key, near Cedar Key, Florida until it was destroyed following the 1896 Cedar Keys hurricane.

A German subsidiary was founded in 1922 in Neumarkt, near Nuremberg, Germany, by sons Eberhard and Lothar.

The company manufactured the original Blackwing 602 pencil, an instrument that has achieved legendary status among writers and animators.
