Talk:Good Bye, Lenin!

Movie Refernces
This section was translated from the German article by a group of English students of the University of Freiburg.

Title
Sorry, I'm not sure how to create a new section, I would just request that the "Analysis" section gets a redo, it's got no clear message and seems to be all over the place in terms of language. Whoever wrote it had a great idea to include it, but it just needs more polish ~ Cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.6.227.169 (talk) 23:17, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be renamed to "Goodbye Lenin" as per the spelling in the picture? — J I P | Talk 07:07, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, if you look at the imdb picture it has a space between good and bye, I think that's the actual name. -- Joolz 17:24, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * If you are going by IMDB, it should be Good Bye, Lenin! . I'm not an expert, but this is also what I would have expected it to be. --68.198.246.166 04:57, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, the title per IMDb is Good Bye Lenin!, three words, all capitalized, no comma. I've moved the article to this title. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

 * The correct title is: - Good Bye, Lenin! - with a comma! See also the official website (http://www.good-bye-lenin.de/) and the German Wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Bye,_Lenin!). The tracks on IMDb.com is misspelled, see the original trailer on IMDb.com - (http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi4238999833/) - between 2:00 to 2:04 minutes.

Removed picture
I had to remove the picture of the poster as it was a PA photo under a very restrictive license and will be deleted (not even available under fair use). Sorry. Justinc 20:56, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Small fact

 * I just added a small fact with another screenshot. Taking more if it's OK. --User:VJ Emsi 20:14, Januray 4th 2006 (UTC)

Matrix t-shirt

 * Thanks to whoever edited the part about the Matrix t-shirt, I was wondering about it. --User: VJ Emsi 15:20, January 7th 2006

An allegory of the cave?
We're watching this film in philosophy, and our teacher told us that there are at least 5 references (word) to Plato's allegory of the cave.Is there anyone who can verify that, or is my teacher off in her own little world a usual? (I can think of at least one which is the boy deluding Christiane, his mother, who will suffer a relapse, he thinks, if she finds out the truth...) Bug 20:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Did Christiane know the truth?
The article claims that Christiane knew the truth in the end. I have recently seen the film and have found nothing to indicate this. Is there anything to verify this or is this some film fan's original research or hopeful dreams? J I P | Talk 20:20, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It's subtly ambiguous, but if she doesn't know the truth, the film makes much less sense. The point is that at the end it's HER that is deceiving Alex; i.e. the reverse of how it starts out. A metaphor for the deception of the GDR's citizens by their own government, but also their own complicity in that deception (and the continuing self-deception after the collapse that the GDR was really alright). Everything in the film that happens on a small scale (the personal events) are metaphors for something that happened on a large scale in world events. Graham 23:17, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I thought the Russian nurse, Lara, told the mother when she goes back into hospital, possibly right before the father visits, but I wasn't paying very much attention.Bug 10:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Just viewed it for the first time, and indeed Lara tells her something like, "There is no border! It's one country now!" However, it's not entirely clear if the mother actually understands. She looks quite confused at the time, trying to get a word in edgewise, and once Alex shows her the "newscast" whereby the Sigmund Jähn lookalike announces that he is opening the country to the world, this arguably could have reconciled her understanding with what Lara told her, meaning that the deception worked after all. J21 00:18, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, I have the (German) DVD with the audio-commentary. And the Filmmakers said - she knows the truth - but if someone want to see this different it's no problem. They even shot the last scene with the newcast twice, because they wanted that the viewer see in the eyes of the mother that she knows but don't want destroy the illusion of her Alexander. But the Filmmakers also said if someone will see this different it's realy o.k. - Sorry for my English but I don't want you to die without this information ;-) - Jörn

 * Thanks I did wonder myself but on the other hand if we are going to speculate on alternative interpretations of events in a work of fiction one could ask could Christiane's initial (1978) illness and subsequent (apparent) embracing of Socialisim actually have been an elaborate ruse to keep the Stasi off their back (and wouldnt the letters from her husband in West Berlin have undermined it) ? 213.40.123.62 (talk) 17:21, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I've seen the German Version and didn't got the picture clearly, although Christina has a big smile on her face looking at her son watching the final fake news. The scenes with Lara are just as described by J21, therefore I wasn't shure. However, Jörns hints are helpful and also Graham's "if she doesn't know the truth, the film makes much less sense". Nevertheless, because it seems the filmmakers intended the ambiguity, I've modified the article like this, hope that's ok. Cyfal (talk) 18:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Neutrality
Doesn't seem to be any discussion regarding the neutrality. I've removed it along with a couple of words that suggest the film is great, and I think that removes POV. Liquidindian 10:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

References to Stanley Kubrick
There at at least two references to Kubrick movies - the bone scene with the Blue Danube Waltz playing in the background has been referenced explicitly, while the sped up scene with Alex and his amateur actor friend setting up Christiane's bed room (the scene with the William Tell overture) is a clear reference to the quirky sex scene in "A Clockwork Orange." I think it's worth a mention on the main article. Chinmay 09:17, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * There's a third. Alex's friend showed him a cut that he said was supposed to be reminiscent of 2001. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.111.180.97 (talk) 07:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Taxi Driver
I might be wrong, so I'm not editing the main page, but I'm pretty sure that the taxi driver is Sigmund Jähn. The article seems to imply that the taxi driver just agrees to pretend to be him. The article on Sigmund Jähn indicates that the taxi driver is him, and although the driver initially says that they just look alike, later the main character asks him what it was like in space or something like that.Britteruci 02:26, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I actually think I was the person to change it so that it was stated like that. The taxi driver when first driving Alex says something along the lines of "I know what you're thinking.  But I'm not him." which I took as fairly strong proof that he isn't actually Sigmund Jähn.  I always assumed that when Alex later asks him what it was like up there it is just wishful thinking or a bit delusional, like the deception of his mother.  It seemed to me pretty clear from the fact that the driver actually says that he isn't that he isn't.  If you agree, I will change the Sigmund Jähn article.  I'll also double check when I have time, whether the actor is credited as a taxi-driver or Jähn in the DVD.  The German wikipedia credits Ernst-Georg Schwill as "Taxifahrer" (Taxi driver in German).  Crito2161 04:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The relevant line that makes me think that he is Sigmund Jähn is his response to the question "What was it like up there?" He says, "Up there? Oh. Up there. It was wonderful up there. Just very far away from home." It seems unlikely that he would answer like this if he was just a lookalike (although it is possible that he is just humoring Alex). The German Wikipedia article citation seems to match the credit on IMDB, but it seems possible that even if the taxi driver is Sigmund Jähn, he is listed as "Taxifahrer" to differentiate him from the actor playing the younger Sigmund Jähn. It is also possible that there may be a difference between the original version of the film and the English translation. I think that in the American DVD release, most people (at least most of my friends with whom I've spoken) are given a fairly unambiguous impression that the taxi driver is Sigmund Jähn, but this could be different in the German version. If you're citing the original, I'd be interested to know if there is any equivalent to the dialogue I quoted above. Britteruci 20:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. Lemme check now.  You are correct that I am taking me information from the German release.  I assumed that he answered like that to humour Alex, seeing that he already told him that he was not in fact Sigmund Jähn.  I'm just looking at it now, and the dialogue goes like this:
 * Alex: "What was it like up there?"
 * Taxidriver/Jähn: "Up there?" Then there is a pause while the driver doesn't understand what Alex means. When he comprehends, he says. "Oh. Up there.  It was very nice up there.  Just very far away from home." (so basically the same)
 * Based just on the conversation, I might think it possible that the driver was really Jähn. But the facial reaction the driver has in which he doesn't comprehend and then grins a little, keeps me with my original assumption.  The credits in the film have completely confused me.  They say that Stefan Walz plays "Sigmund Jähn" (quotations included) and Ernst-Georg Schwill plays Taxifahrer.  So that clarifies absolutely nothing.  I think given all the confusion, we should probably add a line too the summary saying that the movie makes in unclear if the taxidriver actually is Jähn or not 9or something like that).  Agreed? Crito2161 20:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hopefully my edits are agreeable to you. If there is any problem with them, let me know. Britteruci 23:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Could the "Taxifahrer" in the credits have been the one driving Christiane earlier in the film just prior to the riot ?? 80.229.222.48 (talk) 17:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, the "Taxifahrer" is the one driving Christiane. --Dresi (talk) 22:44, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Analysis?
I think the "Analysis" section should be deleted. It is unsourced (admittedly, the article as a whole has very little sourcing) and badly written. It contains a lot of irrelevent information, mostly weighing up the pros and cons of socialism vs. capitalism and only loosely connected to the film, and reads like original research. Do people agree that it should be deleted? EttaLove (talk) 16:21, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I would tend to agree. While much of it is interesting it doesnt really belong in wikipedia being too longwinded, unsourced POV and reading like an essay (WP:SOAP) I wouldnt get too hung up on the sourcing for the rest of the article though. The film itself is widely available and qualifies as a source in itself does it not ? 213.40.123.62 (talk) 17:17, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

awards - Dionysius?
hmm, so we have BAFTA, German Lolas, European Film Academy, Goya , Golden Globe - and what I gather is a podcast talk show award? In the same list, as if it were the same kind of thing. Aryah (talk) 05:38, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

CMSimple

CMSimple is a free content management system. It aims to be simple, small and fast. As it is written in PHP it runs on Linux/Apache servers, or on Win32 with Apache or IIS. CMSimple is licensed under the terms of the GPL3.

CMSimple does not need a database as it writes page data directly to an HTML file on the web server. This simplifies installation and backups, and also makes CMSimple a low-cost option on web hosts which charge extra for database access. Configuration files and language files are also saved in a PHP file. Like many Content Management Systems, CMSimple offers a wide variety of plug-ins, including many made by third parties.

Structure
The look and feel of a CMSimple website is stored in a template file using HTML and CSS. This can be designed by the installer or selected from over 500 free templates available through CMSimple. Third-party designers can be commissioned to provide a unique template. All error messages and text strings are contained in a plain text file. These are available in many languages, and can be translated by the installer to match the user's dialect or language. If support is needed, the installer can make necessary changes on the user's low-spec machine or remotely.

A basic site, using a default template, can be uploaded to the server, configured and populated with pre-existing text within 20 minutes. Template customization takes more time, and requires knowledge of HTML and CSS. Several hundred templates are available at no cost.

Licensing
On 31 December 2009, CMSimple was released under the GPL. Previously, commercial licences were sold. When a visible link to CMSimple was kept on the website, then CMSimple was free to use, and the AGPL licence applied; when the link was removed a licence needed to be purchased. A community of users provide support through a forum and wiki. About 2500 licences were purchased as of December 2008.

Support
It is supported by a web forum and the former AGPL version by an archived web forum, with over 1000 participants. English is the principal language of communication but there are CMSimple communities in Denmark, Germany, France, Spain and Brazil. A book has been published in Danish, Byg et website, Britt Malka, ISBN 87-7843-711-3, and another one in Dutch CMSimple voor beginners, Emile Bastings, ISBN 978-90-815802-1-2.

Forks
There are several CMSimple forks. Best-known are 'CMSimple_XH' and CMSimple '4.X.X'. In 2009, 'CMSimple_XH 1.0' was released. In 2011, 'CMSimple_XH 1.5' was released. In 2012, based on the 'CMSimple_XH 1.5.3' code, Gert Ebersbach releases his beta version of Fork 'CMSimpleCoAuthors', which is later renamed 'CMSimpleSubsites'.

After Peter Harteg stopped developing the original 'CMSimple' in 2012, Gert Ebersbach bought the rights to the brand and renamed CMSimpleSubsites to 'CMSimple 4.0'.

Three CMSimple forks are now available:
 * 'CMSimple Classic' version 3.54, compatible with backward compatibility and supported by Preben Bjorn Biermann Madsen.
 * 'CMSimple 5.x.x' from Gert Ebersbach
 * 'CMSimple_XH 1.x.x' from independent community.

Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber

Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, often referred to as JJSS (13 February 1924 –7 November 2006), was a French journalist and politician. He co-founded L'Express in 1953 with Françoise Giroud, and then went on to become president of the Radical Party in 1971. He oversaw its transition to the center-right, the party being thereafter known as Parti radical valoisien. He tried to found in 1972 the Reforming Movement with Christian Democrat Jean Lecanuet, with whom he supported Valéry Giscard d'Estaing's conservative candidature to the 1974 presidential election.

Formative years
Jean-Jacques Schreiber (his birth name) was born in Paris, the eldest son of Émile Servan-Schreiber, journalist, who founded the financial newspaper Les Échos, and Denise Brésard. Three of his siblings are Brigitte Gros, former senator of Yvelines and mayor of Meulan, Christiane Collange, journalist, Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber, journalist.

The Schreiber family is a Jewish family.

Enjoying the full attention of his mother, JJSS was a highly gifted and hard-working child. He studied at the Lycée Janson-de-Sailly and the Lycée de Grenoble, then returned to Paris. Beginning in adolescence, he accompanied his father to meetings with highly placed people such as Raoul Dautry, a cabinet-level officer under both Vichy and liberated France. Having been accepted by the École polytechnique, France's top engineering school in 1943, he joined Charles de Gaulle's Free French Forces with his father and went to Alabama for training as a fighter pilot; however, he never entered combat.

After the liberation, he graduated from Ecole Polytechnique in 1947, but never worked as an engineer. That same year, he married journalist and author Madeleine Chapsal. Fascinated by science and politics, Servan-Schreiber now discovered a taste for writing and journalism. The brilliant 25-year-old was hired to write for the recently founded daily newspaper Le Monde by its founder, Hubert Beuve-Méry, as a foreign affairs editorialist. His deep acquaintance with the United States led him to specialize in the Cold War.

L'Express
Servan-Schreiber was among the first to recognize the inevitability of decolonization, writing a series of articles on the Indo-Chinese conflict. This led to his meeting the future Prime Minister Pierre Mendès-France, at that time a dedicated opponent of the French military effort in Indo-China. In 1953 Servan-Schreiber co-founded (with Françoise Giroud) the weekly L'Express, initially published as a Saturday supplement to the family-owned newspaper Les Échos. On the magazine's open agenda was the elevation of Mendès-France to power. Due to government seizures and censorship, the magazine quickly enchanted both the youth and the most prominent intellectuals of the 1950s and 1960s with its innovations. Among its contributors were Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, André Malraux and François Mauriac. During Mendès-France's pivotal eight-month term as Council President (the formal title for the Prime Minister during the Fourth Republic), JJSS served him as a shadow councilor.

Servan-Schreiber was conscripted to Algeria in 1956 – to still his dissent, says Giroud. Drawing on his experiences there, he published his first book, "Lieutenant en Algérie". Its account of the brutality of French repression caused a controversy over its alleged deleterious effect on the army's morale. L'Express ran excerpts from the book.

Servan-Schreiber opposed General De Gaulle's return to power in 1958. However, De Gaulle was successful, and the influence of L'Express began to wane. In the same period, JJSS experienced other upsets. His family lost control of Les Échos; he split politically with Mendès-France; he divorced his first wife, and separated from Françoise Giroud, his mistress since the early 1950s, in order to marry Sabine Becq de Fouquières, who would become the mother of his four sons David, Émile, Franklin, and Édouard.

In 1964 following a study which he commissioned from his brother Jean-Louis, JJSS transformed L'Express into a weekly news magazine patterned after TIME. L'Express soared in popularity once again. It broadened its coverage to such subjects as new technologies and women's liberation. It became a mirror of the changing French society.

The American Challenge
As the 1960s unfolded, Servan-Schreiber found himself in the position of a rich press lord, a political editorialist always chasing after new ideas. His trenchant analysis drew some of the first minds of his generation to him. Growing more and more disenchanted with De Gaulle's policies, he was no longer willing to settle for an observer's role.

He found a collaborator in Michel Albert, who provided him with extensive documentation to inform his editorials. One of Albert's reports struck him particularly. It presented the United States and Europe as engaged in a silent economic war, in which Europe appeared to be completely outclassed on all fronts: management techniques, technological tools, and research capacity. Servan-Schreiber saw in this thesis the potential for a seminal book. He fleshed it out with reading keys and concrete proposals for a counter-offensive. The result was his international best-seller Le Défi Américain ("The American Challenge", 1967). It sold 600,000 copies in France, unprecedented for a political essay, and was translated into 15 languages. This book was instrumental in creating a resurgence of French nationalism and drawing attention to the importance of transnational cooperation in Europe.

Building on the book's success, he traveled throughout Europe, speaking to packed lecture halls, touting the advantages of a federal Europe with a common currency and of a decentralized France.

Political career
General De Gaulle's resignation in 1969 persuaded Servan-Schreiber to try his hand at politics. In October 1969, he became secretary-general of the Radical Party. He helped to reform the party, writing its manifesto, and became its president in 1971. After the splitting away of the left-wing Radicals, who formed the Left Radical Party (PRG), Servan-Schreiber became the president of the center-right Parti radical valoisien. He was elected Deputy of Nancy in 1970, but, later on the same year, he made the surprise decision to run against Jacques Chaban-Delmas in Bordeaux. He was soundly defeated, which tarnished his image. He served several terms or partial terms in the French National Assembly, and was Minister for Reform in 1974 but, being opposed to nuclear tests, he was prompted to resign after three weeks by Prime Minister Jacques Chirac. He was elected in 1976 as President of the regional council of Lorraine, defeating Pierre Messmer.

During his political career, he frequently waged progressive campaigns against the current of a sociologically conservative France. He advocated decentralization through regionalization; reallocation of resources from the Concorde program to the Airbus; an end to nuclear testing; reform of the grandes écoles; and computerization. He refused to cooperate with Georges Marchais's Communist Party. He seemed unable to play political power games. His centrist strategy was never successful and eventually brought down his party.

Wanting to extricate himself from the daily management of L'Express, he sold it to financier Jimmy Goldsmith in 1977. Deprived of its power base, his political career quickly deteriorated. He lost his Assembly seat in 1978. He left the party in 1979 at the time of the first direct European elections, to present a list of candidates under the slogan Emploi, Égalité, Europe (Employment, Equality, Europe) with Giroud. The list won only 1.84% of the votes, and Servan-Schreiber decided to retire from political life.

Behind-the-scenes participant
In 1980 Servan-Schreiber published his second bestseller, Le Défi mondial (The Global Challenge), devoted to the technological rise of Japan through computerization. The book was also later adapted into the documentary television series The World Challenge.

He served once again as shadow councillor to his close acquaintances François Mitterrand and Valéry Giscard d'Estaing; his friendship with the latter went back to the École Polytechnique. However, his initiative to create a centre for the promotion of information technology in France turned into a money pit and closed down in 1986. He then moved to Pittsburgh where he had his four sons (David, Émile, Franklin and Édouard) educated at Carnegie Mellon University, a leader in computer science. Servan-Schreiber directed the university's international relations.

Returning to France, he continued to write, including two volumes of memoirs, until he was afflicted with an Alzheimer's-like degenerative disease. He died following a bronchitis attack in 2006. His eldest son, the psychiatrist and writer David Servan-Schreiber, died in July 2011 at the age of 50 of a brain tumor.

Talk:Pete Fountain

Untitled
I reverted User:24.114.144.60's replacement of the article with an unwikified essay. A google search of a few phrases didn't catch any matches, so it might be original, or a text dump from a print souce. Until there's some clarification, I moved it here to talk. -- Infrogmation 07:20, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

On July 3rd 1930, in New Orleans, Peter Fountain was born. His father was able to play many instruments by ear and was the person in Pete’s life who exposed him to jazz music early in his childhood. When Pete was 9 years old, he was introduced to the clarinet when a physician suggested he play it to improve his weak lung strength. He took lessons and listened to music by his idols: Benny Goodman and Irving Fazola. He liked trying to imitate their playing style.

As a few years passed by, Pete’s playing skills became better and better. He played in his high school band, and whenever he could; he would sneak into music clubs and listen to performances. When he was 16 he formed his first band and they were honored by an opportunity to play at The Parisian Room, a famous jazz spot in New Orleans. In 1950, then 20 years old, he founded the Basin Street Six, a Dixieland comic band. However, at this time everybody was into Bebop and the band found it difficult booking work. In 1951, he got married to Beverly Ann Lang and they had three children together. The band eventually broke up and Pete and his family moved to Memphis and Chicago with a new group, the Three Coins.

The move from New Orleans hit Fountain pretty hard, leaving him rather homesick, when all of a sudden in 1956, Lawrence Welk, impressed with some recordings he heard of him, asked Fountain if he wanted to join his national TV show, produced in California. Pete accepted. He received hundreds of fan mails a week, his popularity growing. They even played at Carnegie Hall, but his family still missed New Orleans. In 1959 they moved back to their hometown, New Orleans.

That same year, Peter signed his first two records with Coral Records “Pete Fountain’s New Orleans” and “The Blues”, which sold quite well. In 1960 he founded his very own jazz club “The French Quarter Inn” which became a very popular place in New Orleans. Seven years after, in 1967, he founded “Pete’s Place” at Bourbon Street, but then relocated to a 500-seat room in the New Orleans Hilton. In 1972 he wrote his autobiography about his life and career, called “Just a Closer Walk With Thee”.

To this day Peter Fountain still lives in New Orleans and performs every so often at the Hilton and intends to for years to come.

I had added the doctor's story here too not realizing someone had tried before. I found a Paul Harvey "Rest of the story" about him that had the childhood doctor story. Unfortunately the site I found it on is blocked by wikipedia, so I don't know how to cite it properly since I can't find the audio anywhere else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.108.147.206 (talk) 03:04, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Why?
The website welkshow.com/fountain.html was removed from the list of external links. I would like to have some specifics as to why it was blacklisted. I see noting wrong with it. No popups. nothing objectionable that I can see. I have removed the usual http etc from the beginning of the link, so that the paranoia that appears to have been written into the Wikipedia software will not block my question.--1archie99 (talk) 04:51, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * http://www.welkshow.net/fountain.html is an alterurnative url which wikipedia allows for other articless and links to the dot com site.1archie99 (talk) 06:12, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't necessarily have removed it. The site does not have a blatant advertising.  In my opinion the site has two strikes against it.  First, I wouldn't consider it very objective.  It is definitely a Welk fan site, and while this may be true, it certainly is slanted towards the importance of Welk in Fountain's career.  Second, the site doesn't really add substantial information that is not already in the article.  I hope the person who removed the link will chime in with their opinion.   78.26  (talk) 14:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Candy Clarinet
It is sad for me that one of the best Christmas albums ever made appears to not be on my popular music App or even I don’t think has been released on CD. Maybe it’s because I’m nostalgic and grew up listening to Pete Fountain’s Clarinet Christmas album every year. My sister, no longer with us, when she was a girl played Jingle Bell Rock on the clarinet because the whole family loved the Candy Christmas album. I love jazz so much. Pete Fountain is in a Jazz Hall of Fame. My Christmas music playlist is so great with classic artists and jazz artists, but of all the worldly Christmas music available, clarinet solo Christmas music is not available and even if someone added a solo, would it be as great as the late Pete Fountain’s famous Candy Christmas renditions? So sad that this music is not available and shared with future generations to honor, inspire, and follow his legacy. Reading on Wikipedia how he left Lawrence Welk for wanting to Jazz up a Christmas song seems all the more reason to release Candy Christmas for it’s historical relevance of the changing times in America. 2601:C6:8401:3F60:2CDB:FDE2:5D1C:64A9 (talk) 14:57, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

How is his last name pronounced ?
I've heard it pronounced just like his original last name --- fon - tane.

Yet, most online places have it like the water display --- foun - ton.

So which is the correct way? 70.190.65.59 (talk) 11:50, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

3rd Light Division (Wehrmacht)

The 3rd Light Division (sometimes described as Light Mechanized or Light Panzer to distinguish it from the later Light infantry divisions) was raised in November 1938. In 1939 it fought in the Invasion of Poland. On 4 September 1939, soldiers from the division entered the region of Katowice where they met resistance from the local Polish population. In retribution 80 Polish prisoners of war were gathered in Kosciuszko Square by German soldiers and executed.

Due to shortcomings that the campaign revealed in the organization of the Light divisions it was reorganized as the 8th Panzer Division in October 1939.

Talk:Interstitial lung disease

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 27 January 2020 and 12 May 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Allyday3.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 00:43, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

September 11 firefighters?
In my opinion, the inclusion of this trivial piece of information has no place in an article about pulmonary fibrosis. [I mean no disrespect to the firefighters; however pollution and occupational exposure are well-known to induce pulmonary fibrosis.]

I shall try to expand the article. Axl 07:29, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I imagine as the article gets bigger, there'll be "space" for including information about 9/11 and occupational exposures, though admittedly, I'm not as knowledgable about these issues as I could be. Andrew73 01:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be titled interstitial lung disease?
Shouldn't this article be titled "interstital lung disease." This is the first time I've heard of this condition being referred to as "diffuse parenchymal lung disease." Andrew73 02:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

No. I previously moved the article to "diffuse parenchymal lung disease". This in accordance with the British Thoracic Society and American Thoracic Society guidelines. DPLD is a more accurate name than ILD, because these diseases affect the alveoli and capillaries as well as the interstitium. British Thoracic Society guidelines Axl 09:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If you do a search on the ATS website for "interstitial lung disease", you come up with 161 hits compared to 24 hits for "diffuse parenchymal lung disease." At least in the US, and while I'm not a pulmonary specialist, I bet more people are familiar with the term ILD than DPLD. Andrew73 20:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * err... Anyone want to add that DPLD stands for diffuse parenchymal lung disease to the article. Especially since DPLD is used in the article a couple times? Ksheka 13:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Pulmonary Fibrosis
Pulmonary fibrosis is not synonymous with ILD. Therefore, it should have its own page and not just redirect to ILD.

Where did the link to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis go? The link just goes back to the main ILD page. I remember editing the IPF page with specific treatments, etc. but now that page seems to have been deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffjenn (talk • contribs) 20:48, 24 January 2007

 * Graham87 changed it to redirect. Axl 07:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Section in wrong article?
Should this section below be moved to pulmonary fibrosis? Mikael Häggström (talk) 08:30, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Pulmonary fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition in which the lungs become scarred over time. Symptoms include shortness of breath, a dry cough, feeling tired, weight loss, and nail clubbing. Complications may include pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure, pneumothorax, and lung cancer.

Causes include environmental pollution, certain medications, connective tissue diseases, infections, and interstitial lung diseases. However, in most cases the cause is unknown, and termed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Diagnosis may be based on symptoms, medical imaging, lung biopsy, and lung function tests.

No cure exists and only limited treatment options are available. Treatment is directed towards efforts to improve symptoms and may include oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation. Certain medications may be used to try to slow the worsening of scarring. Lung transplantation may occasionally be an option. At least 5 million people are affected globally. Life expectancy is generally less than five years.

Signs and symptoms
Symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis are mainly: Pulmonary fibrosis is suggested by a history of progressive shortness of breath (dyspnea) with exertion. Sometimes fine inspiratory crackles can be heard at the lung bases on auscultation. A chest X-ray may or may not be abnormal, but high-resolution CT will frequently demonstrate abnormalities.
 * Shortness of breath, particularly with exertion
 * Chronic dry, hacking coughing
 * Fatigue and weakness
 * Chest discomfort including chest pain
 * Loss of appetite and rapid weight loss

Cause
Pulmonary fibrosis may be a secondary effect of other diseases. Most of these are classified as interstitial lung diseases. Examples include autoimmune disorders, viral infections and bacterial infection like tuberculosis which may cause fibrotic changes in both lung's upper or lower lobes and other microscopic injuries to the lung. However, pulmonary fibrosis can also appear without any known cause. In this case, it is termed "idiopathic". Most idiopathic cases are diagnosed as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This is a diagnosis of exclusion of a characteristic set of histologic/pathologic features known as usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). In either case, there is a growing body of evidence which points to a genetic predisposition in a subset of patients. For example, a mutation in surfactant protein C (SP-C) has been found to exist in some families with a history of pulmonary fibrosis. Autosomal dominant mutations in the TERC or TERT genes, which encode telomerase, have been identified in about 15 percent of pulmonary fibrosis patients.

Diseases and conditions that may cause pulmonary fibrosis as a secondary effect include:
 * Inhalation of environmental and occupational pollutants, such as metals in asbestosis, silicosis and exposure to certain gases. Coal miners, ship workers and sand blasters among others are at higher risk.
 * Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, most often resulting from inhaling dust contaminated with bacterial, fungal, or animal products
 * Cigarette smoking can increase the risk or make the illness worse. Smoking is a known cause of some types of lung fibrosis, such as the entity smoking-related interstitial fibrosis (SRIF).
 * Some typical connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, SLE and scleroderma
 * Other diseases that involve connective tissue, such as sarcoidosis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis
 * Infections, including COVID-19
 * Certain medications, e.g. amiodarone, bleomycin (pingyangmycin), busulfan, apomorphine, and nitrofurantoin.
 * Radiation therapy to the chest

Pathogenesis
Pulmonary fibrosis involves a gradual replacement of normal lung tissue with fibrotic tissue. Such scar tissue causes an irreversible decrease in oxygen diffusion capacity, and the resulting stiffness or decreased compliance makes pulmonary fibrosis a restrictive lung disease. Pulmonary fibrosis is perpetuated by aberrant wound healing, rather than chronic inflammation. It is the main cause of restrictive lung disease that is intrinsic to the lung parenchyma. In contrast, quadriplegia and kyphosis are examples of causes of restrictive lung disease that do not necessarily involve pulmonary fibrosis.

Common genes implicated in fibrosis are Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β), Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), Interleukin-13 (IL-13), Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and TNIK. Additionally, chromatin remodeler proteins impact the development of lung fibrosis, as these proteins are crucial for gene expression regulation, and their dysregulation can contribute to fibrotic disease progression.

 * TGF-β is a cytokine that plays a critical role in the regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) production and cellular differentiation. It is a potent stimulator of fibrosis, and increased TGF-β signaling is associated with the development of fibrosis in various organs.
 * CTGF is a matricellular protein that is involved in ECM production and remodeling. It is up-regulated in response to TGF-β and has been implicated in the development of pulmonary fibrosis.
 * EGFR is a transmembrane receptor that plays a role in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Dysregulated EGFR signaling has been implicated in the development of pulmonary fibrosis, and drugs that target EGFR have been shown to have therapeutic potential in the treatment of the disease.
 * IL-13 is a cytokine that is involved in the regulation of immune responses. It has been shown to promote fibrosis in the lungs by stimulating the production of ECM proteins and the recruitment of fibroblasts to sites of tissue injury.
 * PDGF is a cytokine that plays a key role in the regulation of cell proliferation and migration. It is involved in the recruitment of fibroblasts to sites of tissue injury in the lungs, and increased PDGF signaling is associated with the development and progression of pulmonary fibrosis.
 * Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a critical role in tissue repair and regeneration, and dysregulated Wnt/β-catenin signaling has been implicated in the development of pulmonary fibrosis.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis can be confirmed by lung biopsy. A video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) under general anesthesia may be needed to obtain enough tissue to make an accurate diagnosis. This kind of biopsy involves placement of several tubes through the chest wall, one of which is used to cut off a piece of lung to send for evaluation. The removed tissue is examined histopathologically by microscopy to confirm the presence and pattern of fibrosis as well as presence of other features that may indicate a specific cause e.g. specific types of mineral dust or possible response to therapy e.g. a pattern of so-called non-specific interstitial fibrosis.

Misdiagnosis is common because, while overall pulmonary fibrosis is not rare, each individual type of pulmonary fibrosis is uncommon and the evaluation of patients with these diseases is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Terminology has been standardized but difficulties still exist in their application. Even experts may disagree with the classification of some cases.

On spirometry, as a restrictive lung disease, both the FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) and FVC (forced vital capacity) are reduced so the FEV1/FVC ratio is normal or even increased in contrast to obstructive lung disease where this ratio is reduced. The values for residual volume and total lung capacity are generally decreased in restrictive lung disease.

Treatment
Pulmonary fibrosis creates scar tissue. The scarring is permanent once it has developed. Slowing the progression and prevention depends on the underlying cause:

 * Treatment options for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are very limited, since no current treatment has stopped the progression of the disease. Because of this, there is no evidence that any medications can significantly help this condition, despite ongoing research trials. Lung transplantation is the only therapeutic option available in severe cases. Having a lung transplant can improve the individual's quality of life.
 * Medications can also be considered in order to suppress the body's immune system. These types of drugs are sometimes prescribed in an attempt to slow the processes that lead to fibrosis. Some types of lung fibrosis can respond to corticosteroids, such as prednisone.
 * Oxygen therapy is also a treatment option available. Their oxygen use is up to the patient on how much and how little they choose to use. The use of oxygen doesn't repair the lung damage, however it can:
 * Make breathing and exercise easier.
 * Prevent or lessen complication from low blood oxygen levels.
 * Reduce blood pressure in your heart.
 * Improve sleep and sense of well-being.

The immune system is felt to play a central role in the development of many forms of pulmonary fibrosis. The goal of treatment with immune suppressive agents such as corticosteroids is to decrease lung inflammation and subsequent scarring. Responses to treatment are variable. Those whose conditions improve with immune suppressive treatment probably do not have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has no significant treatment or cure.
 * Two pharmacological agents intended to prevent scarring in mild idiopathic fibrosis are pirfenidone, which reduced reductions in the 1-year rate of decline in FVC. Pirfenidone also reduced the decline in distances on the 6-minute walk test, but had no effect on respiratory symptoms. The second agent is nintedanib, which acts as an antifibrotic, mediated through the inhibition of a variety of tyrosine kinase receptors (including platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor). A randomized clinical trial showed it reduced lung-function decline and acute exacerbations.
 * Anti-inflammatory agents have only limited success in reducing the fibrotic process. Some of the other types of fibrosis, such as non-specific interstitial pneumonia, may respond to immunosuppressive therapy such as corticosteroids. However, only a minority of patients respond to corticosteroids alone, so additional immunosuppressants, such as cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, penicillamine, and cyclosporine may be used. Colchicine has also been used with limited success. There are ongoing trials with newer drugs such as IFN-γ and mycophenolate mofetil.
 * Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a less severe form of pulmonary fibrosis, is prevented from becoming aggravated by avoiding contact with the causative material.

Prognosis
Hypoxia caused by pulmonary fibrosis can lead to pulmonary hypertension, which, in turn, can lead to heart failure of the right ventricle. Hypoxia can be prevented with oxygen supplementation.

Pulmonary fibrosis may also result in an increased risk for pulmonary emboli, which can be prevented by anticoagulants.

Epidemiology
Globally, the prevalence and incidence of pulmonary fibrosis is studied from the United States, Norway, Czech Republic, Greece, United Kingdom, Finland, and Turkey, with only two studies from Japan, and Taiwan. The issues associated with tracking the epidemiology of pulmonary fibrosis are due to the majority of these studies having participants were diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis prior to this study. This lowers the diagnosis sensitivity, so that the prevalence and incidence has ranged from 0.7 per 100,000 in Taiwan to 63.0 per 100,000 in the United States, and the published incidence has ranged from 0.6 per 100,000 person years to 17.4 per 100,000 person years.

The mean age of all pulmonary fibrosis patients is between 65-70 years old, making age a criterion of its own. The rarity of a person under 50 being diagnosed is because of an aging respiratory system being much more vulnerable to fibrosis and stem cell depletion.

Based on these rates, pulmonary fibrosis prevalence in the United States could range from more than 29,000 to almost 132,000, based on the population in 2000 that was 18 years or older. The actual numbers may be significantly higher due to misdiagnosis. Typically, patients are in their forties and fifties when diagnosed while the incidence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis increases dramatically after the age of fifty. However, loss of pulmonary function is commonly ascribed to old age, heart disease or to more common lung diseases.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the rise in deaths for people with pulmonary fibrosis increased due to the rapid loss of pulmonary function. The consequences of COVID-19 include a large cohort of patients with both fibrosis, and progressive lung impairment. Long term follow up studies are proving long-term impairment of lung function and radiographic abnormalities suggestive of pulmonary fibrosis for patients with lung co-morbidities.

The most common, and long-term consequence in COVID-19 patients, is pulmonary fibrosis. The biggest concerns regarding pulmonary fibrosis and the increase of respiratory follow-up following COVID-19 are supposed to be solved in the near future. Along with the respiratory follow up increases, older age with decreased lung function and/or preexisting co-morbidities, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and obesity, increase the risk of later developing fibrotic lung alterations in the COVID-19 survivors with lower exercise tolerance. Following the patients of this study determined that 40% of patients will develop a form of fibrosis of the lungs following COVID-19, and 20% of those patients will be severe instances.

Talk:Tommy Steele

Silly London visit claims
Whatever you think about the idea that he visited, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7376248.stm tells us that Fike didn't visit London instead of Elvis. 129.31.1.137 (talk) 13:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Well if you check the relevant site, Fike has indeed posted a claim that it was him and not Elvis. As for The Kenwright/Steele claim, all I can say is that Tommy Steele is renowned for playing very elaborate practical jokes, but making "Silly Claims" - most certainly not, and from what I can gather, he is very angry with Kenwright. Cheers, Pat Pending (talk) 15:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I couldn't find a mention of Fike's visit to London on that site, could you provide a link that is straight from the horse's mouth and more reliable that the BBC? And as human beings excercising common sense, we'd have to say the idea that the most famous person in the world visited London, wandered around the parts of the city most flooded with tourists, accompanied by another famous person and was neither mobbed by adoring fans or noticed by a single other person is pretty silly. As wikipedians, it's enough that it's verifiable, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.31.1.137 (talk) 14:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I've checked and Fike's post appears to have been taken down, so by all means replace it with the BBC one. One thing to bear in mind when considering Steele's claim, is that London was not flooded with tourists in 1958, it was however, flooded with City Gents, Stockbrokers etc and not ordinary people. The "type of person" in the areas mentioned, would not have been able to pull Steele out of a line up, let alone Elvis - It's not like he's saying he took him down the pub and Pie and Mash shop in Bermondsey, or The 2i's where of course, they most certainly would as you say, have been mobbed. Cheers, Pat Pending (talk) 15:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but the idea that the London of 1958 was "flooded with City Gents, Stockbrokers etc and not ordinary people" is laughable. The only area specifically identified is the Houses of Parliament, which is a long way from the City. Unless they were both in disguise, there will have been plenty of "ordinary people" who would have recognised Steele and/or Elvis. Nick Cooper (talk) 20:07, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Sunday Pictorial hoax as to why Tommy Steele didn't do National Service
According to Tommy Steele the real reason he was not made to do National Service was because he had already done five years in the Merchant Navy and that the genetic heart defect was a hoax invented by the Sunday Pictorial newspaper. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/local-news/ask-tommy-steele-1505274 84.69.78.91 (talk) 23:22, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Tysons Corner Center

Thoughts...Should there be an article on the second mall in the Tysons Corner area, Tysons Galleria, which is also known as Tysons II by folks in the region (Tysons II is actually the name of the entire office campus development there by the Lerner Corporation, but when most people refer to Tysons II they are referring to just the mall)? The development of that second mall is directly responsible for Tysons Corner Center gaining the nickname Tysons I. SterlingNorth 07:40, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

And what about the birds that used to be in the cages? Should be some discussion of that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.164.200 (talk) 18:17, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Largest Malls In United States
How does it rank as the 22nd largest when Wikipedia’s list of largest is incorrect? The total retail space listed on this page is 2.4 million sq ft, yet there are malls on the top 10 that have less, just confused 2600:1003:B115:6659:5017:3370:CD23:CCF3 (talk) 16:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

2nd Light Division (Wehrmacht)

The 2nd Light Division (sometimes described as a Light Mechanized division) was a motorized division created in 1938 during the German rearmament. It participated in the invasion of Poland. After the end of the Polish campaign the division was converted into a panzer division, forming the 7th Panzer Division.

Operational history

The 2nd Light Division created on 10 November 1938 from the region of Thuringia. The light divisions were created under the instigation of the cavalry arm of the German Army, who feared their scouting and screening roles were being taken over by the Panzerwaffe. The division was designed to provide mobility and some armoured protection to its forces, and was composed of the 6th and 7th Mechanized Cavalry Regiments, the 7th Reconnaissance Regiment, and the 66th Panzer Battalion. These were supported by the 78th Artillery Regiment, the 58th Engineer Battalion and the 42nd Anti-tank Battalion. Its single panzer battalion was equipped with the Panzer I training tank and the Panzer II interim production tank. Both these vehicles were small, lightly armed and lightly armoured. In 1939 the division was part of the German 10th Army during the Invasion of Poland.

At the outset of the invasion of Poland 1 September 1939, the 2nd Light Division fought its way through the frontier defenses and overran the Warta district, pushing on to reach the outskirts of Warsaw. It was then wheeled back to help deal with the Polish counteroffensive and helped form the encirclement of the Polish forces at Radom 8 September through the 12 September. The division then drove north to reach the Bzura river before turning east and making a drive for Warsaw and the Vistula. Warsaw surrendered on 27 September. The division remained in Poland until 1 October, when it returned to Germany.

Conversion to panzer division
Following the campaign in Poland the limited effectiveness of the light divisions caused the German command to order the reorganization of the four light divisions to full panzer divisions. In October 1939 the 2nd Light Division became the 7th Panzer Division.

War crimes
Soldiers from the 2nd Light Division executued 5 Polish prisoners of war in Stare Kozłowice on 12 September.
