Re: New user asking for help
Hi Noah,

Problem fixed. :) Also, you would also be pleased to know that you can change the page to an earlier version yourself - through reversion. (except deletions)

If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me again. ;)

You may have a problem with your browser
Your edit to Blind musicians replaced Cyrillic text with question marks. You may not have intended to do that. What browser are you using? Susvolans (pigs can fly) 1 July 2005 11:54 (UTC)
 * Especially, please make sure that your browser's character encoding is set to "Unicode" or "UTF-8" or "Automatic" or "Default" or something like that. (I suspect you are forcing your browser into some other format, which presumably works really fine for you otherwise. Not here, though.) If you use an external editor, you need to do the same there. Hope this helps! Arbor 4 July 2005 10:03 (UTC)

Tomato
Hi Noah - you might want to check over tomato and talk:tomato, I've added and changed a few bits; I agree with most of your additions, my changes to them are mostly minor copyediting (stripping out superfluous carriage returns and spaces!), but I've added details of the nightshade relationship at the talk page, which I think should go back in on the main page (I've not reinstated them there yet) - MPF 5 July 2005 20:12 (UTC)

On Malcolm and Lincoln
You're dead wrong about Haj Malik El Shabaaz. Calling Malcolm X a black supremacist would be an error, period. At no point in his life was he ever one. And there is nothing the man ever said or did that would lead any rational individual to believe such a thing. There is absolutely no comparison between Malcolm and Lincoln. (Damn. White people!)  The same, of course, cannot be said of Lincoln, and there is no evidence he ever changed fundamentally in that regard. I don't feel there is any need whatsoever to qualify the categorization of Lincoln as a white supremacist; he clearly was one -- and, as far as the historic record indicates, remained so until his death. deeceevoice 8 July 2005 08:30 (UTC)

Then, perhaps you should read Malcolm's autobiography again, because -- again -- there is nothing he ever said that reasonably could be construed as supremacist. Your remarks represent a complete misreading of the man's life and work. Lincoln, on the other hand, is a different story. The change in his position on the role of black troops did in no way indicate that Lincoln ever changed his basic assumptions about blacks -- that we were inherently inferior and, as a result, deserved to occupy an inferior station relative to whites. He never even hinted at such. Giving black troops their due in light of their record of exemplary military service was a no-brainer. Besides, why not use blacks as cannon fodder? According to the historical record, Lincoln was and remained, in no uncertain terms, a white supremacist. To suggest otherwise is pure wishful thinking/speculation. User:deeceevoice 8 July 2005 18:24 (UTC)

List of White supremacists
Hello Noah. Since you're the one stated in White supremacy that a list of "famous white supremacists would be too long to be in the article, I thought maybe you'd be interested in this new article I started which is called List of White supremacists. Maybe you can add a few more names to that new article. Regards, --Gramaic | Talk 04:53, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Re : Nadir of race relations in the United States
Hi Noah,

I suppose you meant Nadir of race relations in the United States? Sorry, but there was no deletion record that I could find on this article. It appears that no such article was created in the first place. You can try and create the article, if it gets deleted (again or otherwise) let me know.

Racist pudding
Can you explain to me how it is that Norman Lindsay is a racist, or even right-wing? As you asserted in The Magic Pudding. That one character in the novel uses "unmitigated jew" as an insult does not mean that the author himself is racist. Grumpyyoungman01 13:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Um forget that comment, I must be tired or something. The comments should be aimed at an ip address. But if you can somehow un POV that comment and retain useful information it would be good, now that I have defamed you. Grumpyyoungman01 13:33, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Éponyme
You say you fail to understand his remark at "Nadir..."? Take a look at his (or I suppose just possibly her) User:Éponyme user page. Apparently, according to him, African Americans are "former slave subjects of the American people", not part of the American people themselves. And apparently Baptists—and clearly, in context, that means White Baptists—constitute the majority of the people he counts as American. Given that, I would say that I understand him all too well. - Jmabel | Talk 00:40, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

discredited
you need to provide proof that ALL historians have discredited the dunning school. you'll never do that, because i am one that supports their theses. this is why challenged is the best word. WillC 21:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Bias
you are your buddies are simply finding ultaliberal historians that agree with your point of view; this is why wikipedia is bogus as a respectable reference site; you'll just rally your troops and find any quote that supports you, regardless of the fact you know discredited is pov and challenged is accurate. go ahead and say certain historians condemned the dunning school. others have not.

Cheetah photo credit
Hello. I'm quite pleased that you're using my photo (I assume you mean Acinonyx jubatus walking edit.jpg?). As it turns out, I made a slight error in the "author" information field. That photo is an edit of Acinonyx jubatus walking Flickr.jpg, which isn't my photo. I'm not entirely sure what the credits would be, but I would probably credit the Flickr user who is the photographer as well as the editor (in this case myself). Crediting me simply as Pharaoh Hound is fine. Regards, -- Pharaoh Hound  (talk)   (The Game)  17:16, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey. Yes you may use Image:Geococcyx californianus.jpg in your book, but its use does require attribution, per the GFDL. My full name is "Derek J.

Jenna Jameson
Thanks for adding that cancer bit; I cited it, and moved to a place I thought would fit better -- in fact it fills an important gap between her trying to get pregnant and trying to get a divorce. I notice in your edit comment that you don't like the article organization -- any specific suggestions on how we could improve it? --AnonEMouse (squeak) 13:31, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey Anon. If it were me, I'd try to organize it in straight chronology, rather than trying to segment off her relationships and business interests -- especially since the two are heavily intertwined with her marriage to Grdina.  But I don't have time to do it myself, so I can't really complain I guess.  NoahB 13:33, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I organized it on the model of the other Featured Articles about living actresses, like Angelina Jolie, Diane Keaton, etc., that do split off the relationships sections. But I can see the point that it would be easier to update with new events if it were strictly chronological. Thanks again for helping. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 13:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Richard Band
The article in its deleted version did not assert the notability of this person. I can believe that "he's worked on major films, and several albums of his music are available on Amazon", but the important thing is the article must state so. When I deleted it, it did not.

Spirit of Memphis Quartet
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Spirit of Memphis Quartet, 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.

File:Veresai.jpg needs authorship information
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Veresai.jpg appears to be missing information as to one (or more) of the following :
 * 1) The author or creators of the work, (including information as to the author's lifespan).
 * 2) Where and how this particular version was obtained.
 * 3) When the work was created,

If you did provide such information, it is currently confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template.

Please also add authorship and sourcing to other files you created or uplopaded. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log].

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:45, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Autobios & COI in editing
Hi Noah, I see you've been contributing to the Noah Berlatsky article. I'm assuming you are he, and I just wanted to point out that per WP:COI and WP:AUTOBIO writing or editing articles about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you're going to do it, you should post a COI notice here and on the article's talk page, but the preferred method is for you to suggest edits on the article's talk page and then let other editors vet them & make the changes. I patrol the page, so I'm aware there've been some vandalization issues. Several of us (I'm not the only one patrolling it) get notices when that happens, so we can address it. You can also request protection for the page if it continues. Those both give options without editing yourself. Hope this is helpful! JamesG5 (talk) 00:59, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Beverly Glenn-Copeland. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. ''Do you even know what the two templates you removed actually did? One had nothing to do with problems in the article.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:48, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The problem with that edit is that it used inline external links rather than references. They're also a primary source. If you'd like to learn how to incorporate that material correctly, please don't hesitate to ask. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:42, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * So there are two potential problems now. That external link is an article and not one written by the subject, which I incorrectly assumed, but is instead written by Noah Berlatsky, and that appears to be you, it's still self-promotional, but the promoter is you. You've already been asked to avoid editing without explaining conflicts of interest, so I will not repeat that. I will indicate that you have no earthly clue how to link to an actual reference. While that was the primary problem, this problem is larger. Either way, the source fails WP:RS. Feel free to restore it, however, if you decide to and you have not declared CoI, I'll mention it at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. I merely suspect a strong CoI, but they deal with this more frequently and should be able to address the appropriately. If you do declare a CoI, I will take the source to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard to discuss whether the interview can be used in Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Again, I dabble in that notice board, but I don't know all the details.
 * Also, as it states in the edit notice on my talk page, please respond to comments left on your talk page here. It keeps the discussion all in one place. Cheers. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:33, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Insulting me isn't helpful. If there are problems with the link, you can fix them. Mocking users with less knowledge is not a good way to operate on Wikipedia.
 * There's no conflict of interest in using information from an article I wrote? How on earth does it benefit me? I just want there to be accurate information; topic experts aren't prevented from using their expertise.

You're interactions with me are needlessly aggressive and insulting. Why you don't want people to have accurate information about this topic I am not sure; do you actually think the information is wrong? You don't right? It's a BLP; it's important to have correct info. At the moment, the info is not as accurate as it could be. I attempted to update that, and you've taken to edit warring on technical nonsense to prevent me from doing so. I think we need an arbitrator. I'll see about asking one for help NoahB (talk) Also, we should move this convo to the article's talk page; putting it over here isn't very helpful; I will start a discussion there.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, NoahB. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Beverly Glenn-Copeland, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Brad v  03:00, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Tarantino movie

 * Some editors who have come to edit the page claim they have seen the movie. It was made public at Cannes in a high profile screening. Are you basing your opinion on your personal experience of the movie or hearsay? I can understand your position if you saw the movie, and will just have to trust you. Otherwise it will most likely be reverted by those claiming to have seen it. The consensus on the plot summary as it was written is pretty strongly skewed in the direction of keeping it. Did you see this movie? If not, then how would you know it is not accurate?73.95.133.103 (talk) 04:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

I just saw it. I'm a reviewer and saw a press screening. Anyone saying the final graph I removed is what happened is fucking with you. This is why Wikipedia shouldn't be including plot summaries when you can't verify them with secondary sources. NoahB (talk) 05:17, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Maybe so. There is a lot wikipedia shouldn't do with these articles, as often a lot of fake news, corporate spin, bias against critics, and misinformation winds up in them. I'm afraid these things become subject to internet mob rule and the lowest common denominator that is fan worship. But I have to say... with language like that, f-this and f-that, it doesn't help your credibility. Not very professional and I expect an authentic movie critic not to speak this way. Also, if you honestly saw it, then why not correct the information given the journalistic mission of wikipedia in the first place? Journalistic integrity should come before corporate gimmicks, like trying to inflate the importance of film. Sharon Tate surviving the Manson Murders and brutally killing her captors, which I know for a fact IS part of this ending, isn't as clever as it seems and the movie collapses into a misjudged splatter cartoon. I'm guessing Tarantino is sweating over the very real possibility that his movie won't open very well given its esoteric narrative and thematic incoherence. Aiming for a kind of high art "From Dusk Till Dawn" where one movie suddenly becomes another on the turn of a dime feels lazy, like Tarantino is hoping that his revisionist history sleight of hand that worked so well in "Inglorious Basterds" will save this movie. With the loss of Weinstein's discipline and then long time editor Sally Menke, a talented woman who I suspect is the secret talent and steady hand that guided Tarantino over the years, I think Tarantino is lost and this artistic choice reeks of desperation. My point with all of this: I don't think spoiling this movie is such a big deal when it is no masterpiece to begin with. Yes, we shouldn't mislead audiences and for that reason, that also includes helping Sony spin this movie with cheap gimmicks like withholding information about the ending in hopes opening weekend will be larger for that curiosity. Not to mention, I personally find it disrespectful that they would dishonor the dead like that, since the tragedy of the Manson movies isn't appropriate for this kind of revisionist storytelling anymore than the Holocaust is or the Columbine massacre IMHO. In any case, according to WP:SPOILER, spoiling a movie's ending is not of concern to us. The only reason, in this case, to withhold the information from the public is because of Tarantino's odd request that we "not spoil his film." Wikipedia doesn't censor information. We shouldn't put our personal agenda, no matter how well intended, in front of our journalistic integrity to inform our readers. Please correct the information, otherwise, it will most likely be reverted for the reasons I noted. Wikipedia's job isn't to give free PR for Sony, and the gimmick of not spoiling this ending is to encourage movie goers into seeing this movie on opening weekend. If audiences don't want to spoil the film for themselves, they simply don't have to read it. Thank you for hearing my feedback.73.95.135.110 (talk) 07:15, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Yeah, real movie critics never say fuck. this is a true thing.

I didn't add info because it can't be checked, a, and b, there are embargos which I don't want to violate for Wikipedia. I don't give a crap about spoilers otherwise; if the ending was correct I would have left it. It isn't; you're spreading misinformation. If you don't care about that, I can't help you. Don't post here again.NoahB (talk) 18:56, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Papillon Soo Soo

A tag has been placed on Papillon Soo Soo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion.

Srbobran

Srbobran (Србобран, ; Szenttamás) is a town and municipality located in the South Bačka District of the autonomous province of Vojvodina, Serbia. The town is located on the north bank of the Danube-Tisa-Danube canal. The town has a population of 12,009, and the municipality of 16,317.

The municipality of Srbobran encompasses of town of Srbobran, and two villages: Nadalj and Turija.

Name
In Serbian, the town is known as Srbobran (Србобран); in Hungarian as Szenttamás or Szrbobran (formerly also Bács-Szenttamás); in Rusyn (a Cyrillic-only language) as /Србобран/; in Slovak as Srbobran; and in German as Thomasberg or Sankt Thomas. The name Srbobran means Serb defender" in Serbian. Older Serbian name used for the town was Sentomaš (Сентомаш).

History
Archaeological records indicate that there has been human settlement in the territory of present-day Srbobran since prehistoric times. The first written record of settlement is from 1338, in which Srbobran is mentioned under name Sentomas, which means Saint Thomas, i.e. the apostle Thomas, who was the patron saint of a monastery and of the village around it in the Middle Ages. During this time, the area was under administration of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary and was part of Bacsensis County. This village, together with the monastery, was destroyed during the Ottoman conquest in the 16th century. Its former population left the region and fled towards north to Habsburg Hungary. During the period of Ottoman administration, the settlement of Sentomaš was rebuilt and populated by ethnic Serbs. It was part of the Ottoman Sanjak of Segedin.

After the Bačka region was captured by Habsburg troops led by Prince Eugene of Savoy in the end of the 17th century, Sentomaš came under Habsburg rule and was populated by new colonists, mainly ethnic Serbs from the south, but also (since the second half of the 18th century) by ethnic Hungarians from the north, who became the second largest ethnic group in the settlement (after Serbs). The settlement was part of the Military Frontier until 1751, when it came under the civil administration. A document from 1751 indicates that besides the name Sentomaš, Srbograd ("Serb Town") was also used as an unofficial name for the town. The town grew quickly; in 1787 its population was 3,532, while in 1836 this number rose to 11,321. After 1751 the town was part of the Theiss district within Batsch-Bodrog County and the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary. The name Srbobran dates from the time of the 1848/1849 revolutions in the Habsburg Monarchy, but has been officially used since 1918. In 1848–1849, the town was part of the Serbian Voivodship, a Serbian autonomous region within the Austrian Empire. The Serbian defense line was located near this town, hence the name Srbobran, which means "Serbs's defender". On July 14, 1848, the first siege of the town by Hungarian forces began under Baron Fülöp Berchtold who was forced to retreat due to a strong Serbian defense. The Hungarian troops captured Sentomaš on the fourth attempt, on April 4, 1849, and burned the town to the ground. Having suppressed the Hungarian anti-Habsburg movement (in 1849), Austrian authorities established a new province to which Sentomaš belonged to: the Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar, which existed until 1860. In 1850, the population of Sentomaš was 5,630 people, which was only about half of the population recorded in 1836. After the abolishment of the voivodeship in 1860, Sentomaš was again a part of Batsch-Bodrog County. After the establishment of the dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary in 1867, the town was located within the Hungarian part of the Monarchy. According to the official census of 1910, Sentomaš had 14,335 inhabitants; among them 7,808 (54.47%) spoke Serbian, 6,031 (42.07%) spoke Hungarian, and 430 (3%) spoke German.

Sentomaš became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (called Yugoslavia after 1929) in 1918 and was officially named Srbobran. In 1918–1919, the town was part of the Banat, Bačka and Baranja region and also (between 1918 and 1922) part of the Novi Sad County. Between 1922 and 1929 it was part of Belgrade Oblast, and between 1929 and 1941 part of Danube Banovina. In 1941, the town was occupied by the Axis Powers and was attached to Miklós Horthy's Hungary. In 1944, the Soviet Red Army and Yugoslav partisans expelled Axis troops from the region, at this time approximately 2000 civil people with Hungarian nationality was killed by revenge. Srbobran was included into the autonomous province of Vojvodina within new socialist Yugoslavia. After 1945 Vojvodina was part of the People's Republic of Serbia within Yugoslavia. Until the 1950s, Srbobran was part of the Bečej municipality, but then the separate municipality of Srbobran was established. During the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, some Serb refugees came from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, and settled in Srbobran.

Ethnic groups in the municipality
According to the 2011 census, the population of the Srbobran municipality is composed of:
 * Serbs = 10,703 (65.63%)
 * Hungarians = 3,387 (20.76%)
 * Romani = 629 (3.85%)
 * Others and undeclared = 1,598 (9.79%)

All of the three settlements in the municipality have an ethnic Serb majority. The Serbian and Hungarian language are officially used by municipal authorities.

Susan Oliver

Susan Oliver (born Charlotte Gercke, February 13, 1932 – May 10, 1990) was an American actress, television director, aviator, and author.

Early years
Oliver did numerous television shows in 1957, and appeared on stage. She began the year with an ingénue part, as the daughter of an 18th-century Manhattan family, in her first Broadway play, Small War on Murray Hill, a Robert E. Sherwood comedy. That same year, Oliver replaced Mary Ure as the female lead in the Broadway production of John Osborne's play Look Back in Anger.

The play's short run was immediately followed by larger roles in live television plays on Kaiser Aluminum Hour, The United States Steel Hour, and Matinee Theater. Oliver then went to Hollywood, where she appeared in the November 14, 1957, episode of Climax!, one of the few live drama series based on the West Coast, as well as in a number of filmed shows, including one of the first episodes of NBC's Wagon Train, Father Knows Best, The Americans, and Johnny Staccato.

In July 1957, Oliver was chosen for the title role in her first motion picture, The Green-Eyed Blonde, a low-budget independent melodrama scripted by Dalton Trumbo (under a pseudonym), and released by Warner Bros. in December on the bottom half of a double bill.

In mid-1958, Oliver began rehearsals for a co-starring role in Patate, her second Broadway play. Its seven-performance run was even shorter than that of Small War on Murray Hill, but won Oliver a Theatre World Award for "Outstanding Breakout Performance"; it was her last Broadway appearance.

Television and films
On April 6, 1960, the 28-year-old Oliver played a spoiled young runaway, Maggie Hamilton, who gets soundly spanked by scout Flint McCullough (Robert Horton), in "The Maggie Hamilton Story" on NBC's Wagon Train. On November 9, 1960, she was cast as the lead guest star in "The Cathy Eckhart Story" on Wagon Train, with husband-and-wife actors John Larch and Vivi Janiss as Ben and Sarah Harness.

Oliver was cast in the 1960 episode of The Deputy as the long-lost daughter of star Henry Fonda's late girl friend, and appeared in Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theatre episode "Knife of Hate" as Susan Pittman. In 1961, Oliver played the part of Laurie Evans in the episode "Incident of His Brother's Keeper" on CBS's Rawhide, and in 1963, she played Judy Hall in the episode "Incident at Spider Rock", Also in 1962, Oliver appeared as Jeanie in the television series Laramie in the episode "Shadows in the Dust". Oliver was cast in episodes of Adventures in Paradise, Twilight Zone, Route 66, Dr. Kildare, The Naked City, The Barbara Stanwyck Show, Burke's Law, The Fugitive, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., I Spy, The Virginian, The Name of the Game, Longstreet, and Mannix. She made one appearance on The Andy Griffith Show and ABC's family Western series, The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters. She also made two appearances in Quinn Martin's The Invaders (episodes: "Inquisition" and "The Ivy Curtain") on ABC.

Her most challenging role during this time was as the ambitious wife of doomed country music legend Hank Williams (George Hamilton) in Your Cheatin' Heart (1964). The same year, she also starred opposite Jerry Lewis in The Disorderly Orderly, and appeared in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1965) and The Love-Ins (1967) with Richard Todd.

Oliver appeared in television films, including Carter's Army. She had a continuing role as Ann Howard on ABC's primetime serial Peyton Place in 1966. Oliver played the female lead guest character Vina in "The Cage" (1964), which was the first pilot of Gene Roddenberry's new show, Star Trek. Two years later, Oliver's performance was reused in the first season, two-part episode "The Menagerie" (1966). Because the special optical effects used by the series were taking longer to complete than anticipated (which made a missed air date a real possibility), that pilot story was re-framed using newly filmed "current" footage and a time difference to explain the significant format and cast evolution since Oliver's scenes were filmed. In particular, Jeffrey Hunter played "Captain Christopher Pike" in the pilot episode, but was replaced by William Shatner as "Captain James T. Kirk" of the Starship Enterprise when the series was green-lit by NBC in 1966. For the fantasy sequence in the pilot, in which her character appeared as an "Orion slave girl", Oliver was covered in green makeup all over her body, and a dark brunette wig. A still of her with green skin is frequently seen in the end credits of the television series, and it has since become an iconic image of Star Trek. Hence, the 2014 documentary about Susan Oliver's life was titled The Green Girl.

In 1970, she appeared as Carole Carson/Alice Barnes on the television Western The Men From Shiloh (rebranded name for The Virginian) in the episode titled "Hannah".

From 1975 to 1976, Oliver was a regular cast member of the television soap opera Days of Our Lives. In 1976, she received her only Emmy Award nomination (for "Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actress") for playing pioneer aviator, Neta Snook, in the three-hour-long, made-for-TV movie Amelia Earhart, broadcast on October 15, 1976, on NBC-TV.

In addition to her scores of television appearances, Oliver also had roles in several theatrical features, including The Gene Krupa Story (1959), BUtterfield 8 (1960) and The Caretakers (1963).

Directing and later years
By the late 1970s with acting opportunities coming less frequently, Oliver turned to directing. She was one of the original 19 women admitted to the American Film Institute's Directing Workshop for Women (DWW), and she left a "good chunk of funding for the DWW." In 1977, she wrote and directed Cowboysan, her AFI DWW short film that presents the fantasy scenario of a Japanese actor and actress playing leads in an American Western. Oliver directed two television episodes, the premiere episode "Hey, Look Me Over" of the 11th season of M*A*S*H and the season-five episode "Fat Chance" of one of M*A*S*H's sequel series, Trapper John, M.D.

In Oliver's last fully active years, she also appeared in the February 21, 1985, episode of Magnum, P.I., two episodes of Murder, She Wrote (March 31 and December 1), the February 12, 1987, episode of Simon & Simon, and the January 10, 1988, episode of the NBC domestic drama Our House. She made her last onscreen appearance in the November 6, 1988, episode of the syndicated horror anthology Freddy's Nightmares. During her career in Hollywood, Oliver amassed 58 credits on various television programs.

Aviator and author
Oliver experienced an event in February 1959 that underscored her later aviation accomplishments. She was a passenger aboard Pan Am Flight 115, a Boeing 707 on a transatlantic flight from Paris to New York City when it dropped from 35000 to 6000 ft. It was February 3, 1959, the same day Buddy Holly died in an airplane crash. These events caused her to avoid flying for the next year, even turning down job offers, with the exception of auditioning for BUtterfield 8, if they were so short notice that she could only travel by air. She eventually underwent hypnosis to overcome her fear of flying.

In July 1964, local Los Angeles area news anchor Hal Fishman introduced her to personal flying when he took her on an evening flight over Los Angeles in a Cessna 172. The experience motivated her to return the next day to the Santa Monica Airport to begin training for a private pilot certificate. In 1966, while preparing for her own transatlantic flight, she was a passenger in a Piper J-3 Cub when the pilot ran into wires while "show-boating"; the airplane flipped and crashed. She and the pilot escaped injury.

In 1967, piloting her own Aero Commander 200, which was fitted with an extra fuel tank, she became the fourth woman to fly a single-engined aircraft solo across the Atlantic Ocean and the second to do it from New York City. Oliver's route included stops in Goose Bay, Canada, Narsarsuaq in Greenland, Keflavik in Iceland, and Prestwick in Scotland, before landing in Copenhagen, Denmark. Although she was attempting to fly to Moscow, her odyssey ended in Denmark after the government of the Soviet Union denied her permission to enter its air space. She wrote about her aviation exploits and philosophy of life in an autobiography published in 1983 titled Odyssey: A Daring Transatlantic Journey.

In 1968, she was contacted by Learjet to see if she was interested in obtaining a type rating on one of their jet planes with the intent to set record flights for them. She earned the rating and even flew some charters (having by that time acquired a commercial pilot certificate in single- and multiengined land airplanes), but did not fly any record flights in their jets.

In 1970, Oliver co-piloted a Piper Comanche to victory in the 2760-mile transcontinental race known as the "Powder Puff Derby", which resulted in her being named Pilot of the Year by the Association of Executive Pilots. The pilot was Margaret Mead (not the famous anthropologist), an experienced pilot who had flown in several derbies with different co-pilots. In 1971, Oliver was inducted as a member of the Federal Aviation Administration's Women Advisory Committee on Aviation.

In 1972, her training for a glider rating was chronicled for an episode of the television series The American Sportsman, and the segment aired in March 1973.

According to the FAA Registry, the glider rating was issued to Oliver on July 21, 1972. It was her last rating. The registry shows her to have earned commercial pilot ratings for airplane single-engined land, airplane multi-engined land, instrument airplane, and private privileges for glider. Her last aviation medical examination was in May 1976, so she could not legally pilot any aircraft except gliders after May 1978, marking the end of her piloting of powered aircraft.

Death
Oliver was diagnosed with colorectal cancer that later metastasized to her lungs, and she died on May 10, 1990 (aged 58), at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital in Woodland Hills, California.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carlo Beenakker

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was keep (and nomination withdrawn). Sjakkalle 11:14, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Carlo Beenakker
This was tagged as in February. The content has not changed since. It currently does not explain why this person is "a famous professor". Zzyzx11 | Talk 16:44, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Alright, I am sorry. I admit I was lazy in not doing enough research on this person. I apologize. Based on Average Earthman's modifications, Keep. Zzyzx11 | Talk 06:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think you were more lazy than you should be. The article didn't describe his notability, so questioning it with a significance-tag in february and a vfd now was very apropriate. I don't think it should be expected to do extensive research on the subject of an article to list it. If that were the case, at least I would be too lazy, and maybe even afraid for risking harse comments, to list almost anything. Now you motivated this discussion on him, made people expand the article alitle, and get people involved. Thats a good thing. Shanes 20:58, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, not particularly lazy. I mean, Leiden's a good university, but I doubt it's a household name worldwide. If you proposed a direct delete of a research group leader at MIT or the University of Cambridge without doing a quick google first, then that perhaps would be lazy. Average Earthman 10:41, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Leiden is probably one of the best known universities in Europe, and a couple of hundred years before MIT was founded, Leiden was the place everyone traveled to learn the new things in science and medicine. (And no, I'm not a Leiden alumnus...). Anyway, this VfD is another sign we need better criteria for judging the notability of academics. We can't expect every scientist bio-stub to exhaustively explain that person's research, because then only experts would be able to even start such a biography. To some extent we have to put our trust in the internal notability criteria of academia itself, just as we do for sports or pop music. Uppland 14:53, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Surely we can expect at least a rudimentary explanation? I don't think just listing a scientist's vague field of study is enough to justify an encyclopedia article.  Gamaliel 20:37, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Leiden is one of the top 150 universities in the world, and unlikely to appoint a complete muppet to a professor position. Google Scholar produces 3,810 hits for CWJ Beenakker, so he's been either very busy, or influential, or both. Some of his papers have over 400 citations (this one has 474. This is very, very good by the way - In-cites rate the hottest physics paper of the last two years as one that has 396 citations . Average Earthman 19:01, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Forgot to add - a google search also indicates he is regularly an invited speaker at international conferences, another sign of note (I stress invited, as opposed to accepted) Average Earthman 19:09, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I hope you're not trying to claim that every professor at every one of the "top 150 universities in the world" deserves an article. Delete, article does not establish notability.  RickK 19:42, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not? We appear to be keeping every sportsperson in far more teams than that overall. I'm talking full professor here, anyway, not in the US title inflated sense. Average Earthman 09:03, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * keep per Average Earthman's assessment of notability. Kappa 21:11, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article does not establish notability beyond that of an above-average professor average professor at an above-average institution.  Not every professor at a top university is notable at an encyclopedic level. Gamaliel 21:14, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * An above-average professor would seem to pass the professor test. Kappa 21:23, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I have clarified my comment. Gamaliel 21:26, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Does the importance of citations need further clarification, then? Average Earthman 09:03, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * No. Gamaliel 09:11, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * So what, you just believe that physicists are unimportant then? Average Earthman 20:04, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Hardly. Please refrain from putting words in my mouth. I simply believe that this particular article does not yet establish that this particular physicist is notable enough for an article in an encyclopedia. Gamaliel 20:07, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm missing something here - you accept citations are important, he was already in the top 300 most cited physicists when he was 37, he's published a number of papers with over 100 citations, yet you still say he's not above average? This seems blatantly obvious to me, and I genuinely want to know where the communication problem is. Average Earthman 08:07, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * This is an encyclopedia, not a citations database. An encyclopedia article explains why the subject of the article is important and the work that they do, it doesn't merely throw statistics at the reader.  If I wanted citation information I'd go to the ISI Web of Science. Gamaliel 08:08, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * But if you want statistics for a cricketer you can go to cricinfo, so should we should delete all cricketer's articles that don't explain the rules of cricket? This article needs attention, not deletion. Average Earthman 09:25, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * For a cricketer, or any other sportsman, I can follow a link for their position that describes what that position does. But any article here that has nothing but statistics for a player I'd vote delete on too.  What would be the equivalent in science for a shortstop or quarterback?  There is no equivalent in science. Scientists aren't important because they play lead particle accelerator for the Leiden Leptons, they are important because of the specific research that they do. If we wish to assert that that Beenakker is more notable than the majority of his colleagues, then the article must provide a reason why, and that reason is what he is researching and what he has played a role in discovering or learning. In this article there is no mention of that at all.  Gamaliel 18:11, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * You mean you're voting delete because I forgot to wikilink mesoscopic?. Average Earthman 10:31, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Do you keep missing the point on purpose or is this a debating tactic? Congratulations, you've dragged this discussion from meaningless down to utterly futile. Gamaliel 20:37, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Question for Average Earthman: how many citations would an average paper get? Kappa 21:23, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * For physics? Somewhere around ten. Average Earthman 09:03, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Average Earthman. According to the article: "In a 1997 study by the Institute for Scientific Information, Beenakker (at the time aged 37) rated in the top 300 most cited physicists of the previous 16 years." And that was eight years ago. His CV with publications. Certainly more notable than most two-albums-and-an-international-tour pop bands, most professional baseball players, fictional Klingon warships, and so on. Uppland 21:55, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * So then we should have articles on the other 299, yes? RickK 23:44, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * He has probably advanced in the relative status by now, in case you didn't get that part, but if somebody bothers to write those 299 other biographies I see little harm in it (we may actually have quite a few of those already), or in articles on the 300 most cited researchers in other major disciplines. There is no reason why scientists should be Nobel laureates to be considered notable, while it is enough to have been payed by someone to publicly kick a ball around a lawn to qualify for a Wikipedia article. - Uppland 00:17, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Articles on the top 300 physicists? Well, of course we should. We have articles on more than 300 football players, or basketball players, don't we? If you think physics isn't important, well you're not writing on Wikipedia by banging a couple of rocks together. Average Earthman 09:16, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Passes the "average professor test". --Carnildo 22:52, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep He is definetely a notable physicist, one of the most notable solid state physicists today if you ask me. Shanes 23:12, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep You don't get citations like that for nothing. I bet there's not a professor in my city who could claim that.
 * Keep and expand. Notable physicist who won a Spinoza award which is the highest award available in the Netherlands. Three professors at Leiden have won the Nobel Prize for Physics so it obviously has a reputation for physics and a Professor there is likely to be a leader in the field. Capitalistroadster 02:03, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, and expand. Notable awarded professor. Megan1967 05:20, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Oh come on! --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:38, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Paul August ☎ 04:13, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Expand yes, but threshhold for notability definitely met. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 03:15, 2005 May 1 (UTC)
 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Kevin Alfred Strom

Kevin Alfred Strom (born August 17, 1956) is an American neo-Nazi from Virginia who founded the National Vanguard. In 2008, Strom pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.

Early life and activism
Strom indicates a high school teacher who shared his hatred of communism introduced him to the John Birch Society (JBS) where he first met members of the National Alliance which was more vocal about race theory and conflict. Joining the NA in 1982 and working under the NA's leader William Luther Pierce, Strom became a believer in the concept of a Zionist Occupied Government in the United States, a racist, and a neo-Nazi.

Strom is a former broadcast engineer and held amateur radio license WB4AIO. Between 1983 and 1991, a pirate radio station named Voice of Tomorrow operated on shortwave and mediumwave frequencies, and broadcast openly racist and neo-Nazi material. According to Strom's ex-wife, Kirsten Kaiser, Voice of Tomorrow was operated by Strom. Strom had three children with his first wife, Kirsten Kaiser. Since their marriage ended, Kaiser has spoken about her life with Strom in several interviews. She has also written a book, The Bondage of Self, on her experiences with Strom and the National Alliance.

As part of his involvement with NA, Strom broadcast a weekly "American Dissident Voices" hour on radio, espousing antisemitic views.

During the weekend of April 16–17, 2005, Strom and several others were expelled from the National Alliance because of a dispute with the new leader Erich Gliebe. Strom and some other expelled members founded National Vanguard, headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. Claiming that his new organization was the true successor to NA, Strom continued his weekly radio broadcasts and used National Vanguard's website to host and promote the views of other racists, including David Duke.

Strom was briefly the managing editor of The Truth at Last newspaper during 2005. Several sources have described this tabloid as being highly antisemitic and racist, because it often referred to Africans as an inferior race. Strom's boss at The Truth at Last, Edward Fields, is a former Grand Dragon of the New Order Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Strom was a close associate of University of Illinois Classics professor and nationalist writer Revilo P. Oliver, who has been described as "one of America's most notorious fascists" and, according to B'nai Brith Canada, was "a long time proponent of antisemitism".

Strom's 1993 quote "To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?" has been paraphrased and erroneously attributed to the philosopher Voltaire, including by Australian politician Cory Bernardi, U.S. Representative Thomas Massie, and X (formerly known as Twitter) CEO Elon Musk.

Arrest, conviction, prison and release
On January 4, 2007, Strom was arrested in Greene County, Virginia, on charges of possession of child pornography and witness tampering. The Grand Jury later added the accusation of receiving child pornography, seducing a 10-year old, and witness intimidation, Judge Norman K. Moon threw out both charges due to lack of evidence but commented "I think there is overwhelming evidence that [Strom] was sexually drawn to this child, and was obsessing over this child".

At the plea hearing on January 14, 2008, Strom pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography in exchange for the other charges to be dropped. He was sentenced to 23 months in prison in April 2008. Strom told the court before being sentenced that he was "not a pedophile" and was "in fact the precise opposite of what has been characterized in this case", saying he had been "unwillingly" possessing 10 images of child pornography and that those came from an online forum he had visited which had been "flooded with spam", which included "sleazy, tragic" pictures of children that he deleted. The judge of the case responded: "Mr. Strom, you pled guilty to charges that now you're saying you're innocent. I prefer people plead not guilty than put it on me". Strom was released from prison on September 3, 2008.

Paul Rübig

Paul Rübig (born 6 May 1953) is an Austrian politician who served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1996 until 2019. He is a member of the Austrian People's Party, part of the European People's Party.

Rübig became a Member of the European Parliament on 25 January 1996, and was re-elected in 1996, 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2014. Hence, he was the longest-serving MEP from Austria. On 25 June 2013, Rübig was elected already for the second time in a European-wide vote as MEP of the Year for his outstanding commitment in the field of research and innovation.

Background
Born in 1953, Rübig attended the polytechnic institute for farm machinery design in Steyr, graduating in 1972. After his military service, he studied business administration, marketing and industrial engineering at the University of Linz (1972–78). He completed his studies there with a doctorate at the Institute for Auditing, Trusteeship and Accountancy in 1984. At the same time, he worked as a lifeguard, glider and skiing instructor.

He started his business career already in 1972, working in the family forging company with various general management appointments until 1996. During the course of his business career he founded companies in France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Political career
In 1991, Rübig was selected as a candidate for the Austrian People's Party for the regional elections in Upper Austria. After having been elected, he instantly became Chairman of the then so-called EU Integration Committee. By facilitating the accession of Austria to the European Union in this period, he quickly gained significant expertise in EU related matters. After a very short period as MP, he became a Member of the European Parliament on 25 January 1996, at this time by decision of the Austrian Parliament. Since then, he was four times re-elected, namely in 1996, 1999, 2004 and 2009.

Convinced about the benefits of a functioning social partnership in Austria, he held various positions within the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber. From 1991 to 1996 he was board member of the Upper Austria Business Promotion Institute, from 1996 to 2000 Vice-President of the Upper Austria Chamber of Commerce, and from 2000 to 2005 Industry Vice-Chairman of the federal organization of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce.

Parliamentary Work
Rübig served as member of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, of the Committee on Budgetary Control and is a substitute member of the Committee on Budgets. As deputy chairman, he was a member of the Maghreb delegation, and furthermore active in the delegations to the EFTA countries and to the Arabic peninsula.

As one of the initiators of the WTO Steering Committee, Rübig held the position of the EPP small businesses spokesperson. Furthermore, he is the Treasurer of the Austrian EPP delegation in the European Parliament, Chairman of the Science and Technology Options Assessment (STOA) unit and chairman of the Paneuropean Working Group in the European Parliament

Commitment for small and medium-sized enterprises
Rübig strongly advocated in the European Parliament the interests of about 20.8 million small and medium sized enterprises (SME) in Europe. They create 85 percent of all new jobs, employ two thirds of all employees and mainly contribute to innovation and growth. Overcoming the global economic crisis, requires in his view a reduction of costs for SME, in particular for startup companies, significantly less red-tape, innovative SME tax regimes and more focus on independent and entrepreneurial thinking in school education.

In order to better promote his political ideas in the public debate, Rübig founded in May 2012 together with the Danish MEP Bendt Bendtsen and the Bulgarian MEP Nadezhda Neynsky the business organization of the European People's Party, SME Europe. In February 2013, the General Assembly decided to choose Rübig as the Honorary President of the organization. Since 2003, he is also the President of SME Global. Furthermore, between 1999 and 2000 he was elected President of the SME Circle of the EPP Parliamentary Group, from 2000 to 2001 Co-President of the SME Union and from 2001 to 2003 he held this same position alone as its President.

Reduction of roaming charges
As responsible rapporteur in the industry committee and one of the most active supporters of the citizens initiative Europeans for Fair Roaming it was Rübig, as the key actor, who enforced the roaming rules at European level. Against massive opposition of the telecom industry, following his initiative, the costs for cross-border mobile calls, text messaging and mobile data transfers were gradually reduced. From 1 July 2013 on, mobile communication providers are only allowed to charge consumers following maximum prices: 24 cents (active calls), 7 cents (passive calls), 8 cents (text messages) and 45 cents (1 MB data packet). These ceilings will be again reduced before the summer 2014. Regardless of a further reduction of these ceilings in summer 2014, Rübig pushes now for a general abolition of roaming charges before the elections to the European Parliament in May 2014. In the New York Times he called upon the responsible Commissioner Neelie Kroes for swift and concrete implementation plans.

Science politician
As key politician at European level in the field of science, Rübig advocated for a significant increase of research funding. In the negotiations for Horizon 2020, which will follow the 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7), he supports the restructuring of the available sources towards more funding for small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, he requests in the ongoing budget negotiations for the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) an increase of means for growth generating measures in education, science and research. According to him, ultimately it always have been technological innovations that have shaped the history of mankind. Hence, today's investments into research, shape Europe's destiny of tomorrow.

Responsible and efficient use of tax money
As member of the Budgetary Control Committee, Rübig stood for a responsible and efficient use of tax money. Instead of only one-sided increases of single budget items, he generally advocates to examine in detail the use of tax money on its efficacy, appropriateness and cost-effectiveness. Alone, if this is ensured, it is justified according to him to spend more money on single areas, otherwise we have to achieve more with less means.

Energy transition
As expert on energy policies in the European Parliament, Rübig worked on a fundamental rethink in the energy policy of the European Union. He demands an effective and lasting support of renewable energies, a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, as well as a significant increase of energy efficiency. According to him, reforms have to be designed in a way that energy prices remain affordable and that the population benefits from an increased security of supply. Instead of a system of sanctions, targeted incentives should motivate the population to actively engage in the transformation of energy policies. In contrary to many of his colleagues in the European Parliament, Rübig suggests not to support all forms of low carbon energies at the same level, but only the safest, most cost-efficient and cleanest energies. He justifies his refusal of dangerous nuclear energy with reference to the high security risks and the enormous costs in the life cycle of such a power plant (construction, operation, decommissioning, final storage).

Removal of global trade barriers
As EPP spokesperson in the WTO steering committee of the European Parliament, Rübig advocated for a sustainable removal of global trade barriers. In his view, developing countries can only break out of the poverty trap by opening their economies to international trade and investments, whereas protectionist measures have the opposite effect. In this context, free-trade should be accompanied by measures to improve infrastructure, a better education system for young people, as well as a well-functioning administrative and judicial system. Furthermore, Rübig argues in favour of giving companies the possibility to actively participate in dispute settlement procedures of the World Trade Organization, instead of only giving this possibility to national governments. Altogether, such a system would lead to a much higher degree of legal security in international trade. In the debate about the possible Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement with the United States, he supports the initiative due to the positive effects for the global economic development. In case of an agreement until 2015, he expects 400,000 new jobs and on average a financial relief of 545 Euro for each household every year.

Europeanization of the political debate
Rübig regularly criticizes that the public debates in the member states do not pay sufficiently attention to issues debated at European Union level. Hence, he asks for a Europeanization of news coverage in national newspapers and broadcasts. Furthermore, he also supports cross-border media projects and often speaks in academic debates all over Europe. In this context, Rübig was invited amongst others by the renowned College of Europe (CoE) and the French École nationale d’administration (ENA) in order to give public lectures.

Criticism
As a self declared expert in key issues about the internet, Rübing voted for restrictions of the net neutrality and is also jointly responsible for the legislative text. His opinion on this issue is mainly based on his thoughts that soon the internet will be overloaded, and emergency calls will be delayed due to increasing streaming traffic (like netflix etc.).

Handover of the Peace Light
Since Austria joined the European Union (1995), Rübig initiated the tradition of bringing the Peace Light of Bethlehem to Strasbourg to hand the flame over to the Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the city itself.
