Talk:NBC chimes

NBC chimes
Recently updated with paragraphs about the purpose of a network station ID signal. 3-23-06 Schweiwikist 20:03, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

In general I think this rewrite/addition is very well done. The other purpose of the chimes was a switching signal cue, so that NBC and AT&T engineers in charge of routing programs to affiliates would know when to rearrange the feeds so that the affiliates were receiving the correct feed - East Coast Red, East Coast Blue, West Coast Red, West Coast Blue, plus subfeeds in the case where a sponsor wanted to promote one product in the North and a different product in the South. It's not something that is easily condensed as elegantly as Schweiwikist has treated the local station ID announcements.

Now if we could just get rid of that WSB chimes myth! WSB was using chimes for at least two years before NBC was formed, but the idea that NBC got the idea from hearing a Georgia Tech football game being fed to the network via WSB is absurd. Georgia Tech had their own radio station, WGST, which was every bit as powerful as WSB and they were great rivals - WSB would not be promoting their competition by broadcasting their football games.

Blurb for Did You Know section
Did You Know

...NBC chimes of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) radio network in the United States was actually a communications signal beginning in 1931 to the various stations and links in the network from NBC headquarters in New York City?

Actually it was a fourth chime (a repeat of the C note) added to the G-E-C tones that was used as a signal to alert certain NBC personell and it was first initiated on April 16, 1933.

Nightly News theme
"(and are the opening and closing notes of the current edition of the NBC Nightly News theme song),"

I believe that's actually the Dateline theme that does that, isn't it? (I have it somewhere, but can't get to it, and can't really trust the credit anyway...) --Baylink 05:49, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

source?
I read an external webpage link that says that the G-E-C stands for the General Electric Corporation yet this page clearly says this is an urban legend. What source was used for knowing this to be untrue? If important enough to be an urban legend, perhaps it's important enough to warrant a simple source footnote. Just my 2 cents.

in 1938, NBC engineer Morris made a trip to various European countries to observe the progress

of television in Europe. D. C. Brinkenshaw of the BBC commented how he liked to listen to the

States over short wave from the General Electric station at Schenectady N.Y. Mr. Morris states;

"He thought it most ingenious of them to use an aurally coded identification for the G. E. stations by

using chimes with the notes G-E-C for General Electric Company. I tried to persuade him that the chime

signal came from NBC and had nothing to do with General Electric. I'm not sure he really believed it." From the History of NBC Chimes website: http://wwwradioremembered.org/chimes.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chimes39 (talk • contribs) 05:58, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

The article says that the NBC chimes cannot be associated with General Electric Corporation because GE did not own NBC (through RCA) until 1986. However, the Wikipedia article on NBC says that GE had previously owned RCA until 1930, when it was forced to divest it due to antitrust charges. I remember this being mentioned during the 1986 GE purchase of NBC. Hank Gillette (talk) 18:56, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

I flagged the statement as unsourced because no source is given; when I tried to find a source, I found web pages that themselves had no source or seemed to be quoting this article. The history of NBC, RCA, and GE have been intertwined from the start, but I have no reason to believe that a desire to honor GE is the source of the notes. (Why then not just GE? Granted that would not sound as nice!) However, asserting in the article that they are not derived from G-E-C raises a question for the reader that is not answered with a source. Why not leave the statement out, rather than make a judgement pro or con in the absence of a source? Jim (talk) 05:25, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

GE and NBC were not intertwined when these notes were selected. Furthermore the original notes were different, and the second set was in another key. Anyone with access to an actually library can find a book that mentions this if they research the patent history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.142.99.18 (talk) 10:03, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

I found a podcast from 99 percent invisible where they interviewed one of the last people to play the sound of the radio, and they covered this exact topic. I added the source. penne12 (talk) 20:51, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Valentina (Italian comics)

Valentina is an Italian comic strip series, created in 1965 by the Italian artist Guido Crepax and concluded in 1996.

Originally a minor character working for the comic hero Neutron, Valentina became the sole protagonist of the series in 1967. The first episode was entitled "La Curva di Lesmo" (referring to a curve of the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix of Monza). This story was followed by 30 others, collected in a total of seven books, along with two others Lanterna magica (Magic Lantern, 1977) and Valentina pirata (Pirate Valentina), the first in full colour.

Character
Valentina Rosselli, whose appearance is inspired by silent film actress Louise Brooks, is a Milanese photojournalist. Her boyfriend, Philip Rembrandt, the super-hero Neutron, has the ability to paralyze people, animals, or machines he has seen in the flesh or pictures. Later a child was born to Philip and Valentina, Mattia.

The character Valentina was born on December 25, 1942, in Milan and grew older during the series, the last episode of which was published in 1995.

As time passed, in Valentina's stories Crepax abandoned the fantasy-science fiction or detective themes of the beginning, introducing a complex, weird mix of erotism, hallucinations, and dreams. The strips also dealt with bisexuality, autoerotic ecstasy, super-sensual abandon, and sadomasochism.

Valentina in other media
In 1973 a feature film called Baba Yaga was based on the comic book. Valentina was played by French actress Isabelle De Funès. The film was directed by Corrado Farina, who had previously made a documentary on the comics by Guido Crepax.

An Italian TV series based on the comicbook was released in 1989. Valentina was played by American actress Demetra Hampton and Philip Rembrandt by Russel Case. Thirteen episodes were filmed, with language tracks in both Italian and English, each 30 minutes long. Selected episodes were edited together into a feature film and shown on late-night American Cable TV.

Arturo Barrios

Arturo Barrios Flores (born December 12, 1962, in Mexico City) is a Mexican and American long-distance runner who set the 10,000 m world record in 1989, the one hour world record in 1991, and the 20,000 m world record en route to the one hour run world record.

Career
Barrios finished in fifth place in the 10,000 metres at the 1988 Summer Olympics. He is a former world record holder at the 10,000 m (27:08.23, set on August 18, 1989, at the Internationales Stadionfest (ISTAF) in Berlin, Germany). Barrios' record was not broken until 1993 when Richard Chelimo ran 27:07.91 in Stockholm. This mark stood as the North American record until May 1, 2010, and still stands as the national record of Mexico.

On March 30, 1991, Barrios set world records at one hour (21.101 km) and 20,000 m (56:55.6). These records stood until June 2007, when they were broken by Haile Gebrselassie. Barrios' 1991 performance makes him the first man ever to run a half-marathon distance in less than one hour; the first to do so in an actual half-marathon competition was Moses Tanui in 1993. That performance also still stands as the North American records and the Mexican record for those two events.

In 1992 he participated in the World Cup in Athletics, running the 5000 m with a time of 13:50.95, finishing in second place.

Between 1987 and 1990, Barrios won the San Francisco Bay to Breakers race, considered the largest footrace in the world, four consecutive times.

Barrios became a United States citizen in September 1994. Barrios graduated from Texas A&M University in 1985 where he competed in track and cross country. Barrios was inducted into the Texas A&M Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998.

The annual Arturo Barrios Invitational 5K and 10K road races in Chula Vista, California, launched in 1989, were held for the last time in 2006.

Lyrics question
One website says "as his skies are wide", but another website says "as his eyes are wide". I hear "eyes". Which one is it?

 * Hi. I just looked at the CD insert for the remaster (Core Music Publishing (SOCAN)) and it says: "...Maybe as his eyes are wide." The second site you visited had it right--great argument for second opinions!CPRdave 21:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually it says both. First time says, "eyes are wide", second time around it says, "skies are wide."--216.101.11.66 19:56, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Is the "growling" sound from the intro from an Oberheim? I would have sworn it was a patch from the Taurus pedal synthesizer, which is mentioned in the credits. Actually, I don't own neither an Oberheim nor a Taurus (poor "rittre" me!), but I have a Yamaha CS2X, and an almost identical patch is listed as "Taurus".

"I don't own either an Oberheim", not "neither". (Sorry, I'm a grammar stickler)Thhhh (talk) 23:57, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I dont think that a songs inclusion on an important video game is trivia —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brainster31 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

 * WP isn't an indiscriminate collection of information. How is the song's use in various parts of pop culture important to the song. From the WP: handling trivia page: "Some trivia is actually important to none of the subjects it connects. The mention of Beelzebub as an enemy in Devil May Cry is of little importance to the topic of Beelzebub, a devil whose name is mentioned in a great variety of context. Similarly, that Beelzebub is the name of an enemy in Devil May Cry (a featured article) is not important enough for mention in the article on the video game (in fact, neither that article nor any of its subarticles mentions specific ordinary enemies.)" I really think this falls under this category. Please demonstrate its notability before re-adding. Carl.bunderson (talk) 18:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, if we're talking about a song's use in pop culture, then there should be a section labeled as such. Check nearly every song that is in the game Rock Band, their wiki always mentions its inclusion in the game (either in the triva, usages in popular culture or the intro, descriptive section.) Even the wiki for the other Rush song that is in the game, "Working Man," mentions its inclusion. It might not be trivia, but something more important. There should be an appearances in popular culture section that mentions that it is featured in Rock Band, on top of it being in parts of episodes of Futurama and Family Guy. Truthfully, the article is lacking without this section, so it should either be added, or the 50-60 or so wiki's which mention its inclusion should have that section removed.

I believe you that such info is included on similar pages. And I think, as I'm sure does Wisdom89, that yes, the 50-60 or so pages which mention such inclusions need to have these sections removed, as they are trivial and nn. Carl.bunderson (talk) 20:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Lately, there's been a slew of IPs who keep reinserting the random line about Tom Sawyer being featured in rock band.

When not playing his bass, he'd rely on his left hand to hit bass notes while fingering keyboards with his right.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 02:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Songs critical of religion
Wikipedia features a category called Songs critical of religion. This category doesn't require the song to target a specific religion and can refer to irrational faith and ritualistic superstition. I'm sure some people are touchy over this sort of thing, but I'm curious if people would consider "Tom Sawyer" suitable for this category with the lyric "No his mind is not for rent... to any god or government..." Also consider that Rush has written songs obviously critical of religion/faith like "Roll the Bones" and that drummer and lyricist Neil Peart is an agnostic. In fact, here is Peart's quote regarding the lyrics to the "Tom Sawyer":
 * "Tom Sawyer was a collaboration between myself and Pye Dubois, an excellent lyricist who wrote the lyrics for Max Webster. His original lyrics were kind of a portrait of a modern day rebel, a free-spirited individualist striding through the world wide-eyed and purposeful. I added the themes of reconciling the boy and man in myself, and the difference between what people are and what others perceive them to be - namely me I guess."

He describes a "free-spirited individualist" that basically represents himself, and he quite clearly expresses distaste for "god" and "faith." Thoughts? Cale (talk) 17:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Interesting, but I concerned about something; if you need to highlight in bold-face specific phrases from the song and then try and interpret them, it doesn't really come across as convincing. In other words, before adding said category, I'd require more concrete evidence that the song is really intended to be critical of religion. Also, it appears that this category would be for songs which were written with this main motif in mind, and not just containing some offhand lines.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 17:51, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think a lot of songs need close observation to find precise phrasing and realize their particular message. For instance, "What You Are" by Dave Matthews Band only makes one or two direct references to faith and its pitfalls, but the entire song does back this theme, albeit in vaguer phrasing. As for the minimal concentration of "Tom Sawyer"'s criticism of religion, that's another reason why I'm unsure if it belongs in the category. It does focus on a free spirit and his individuality, attributes often associated as non-religious, so in terms of philosophy, it definitely lies on the border of agnosticism/atheism if nothing else. "Roll the Bones," on the other hand, I feel quite confident is suitable for the category. Cale (talk) 20:27, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is that most of this is subjective. Others might disagree with you. For instance, I don't feel that "Roll the Bones" fits into that category at all. If we are to do this properly, we need to verify the meaning behind the lyrics straight from the horse's mouth - Peart.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 01:13, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Faith is cold as ice
 * Why are little ones born only to suffer
 * For the want of immunity
 * Or a bowl of rice?
 * Well, who would hold a price
 * On the heads of the innocent children
 * If there's some immortal power
 * To control the dice?
 * I think the moral is pretty obvious there, especially in conjunction with the rest of the lyrics: We don't live within the divine plan of a high power, and we live our lives taking risks and choosing our own paths. It's entirely anti-religious and pro-individualism. Cale (talk) 02:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Again, it doesn't what our personal interpretation of Peart's Lyrics is. You may be right, you probably are. However, WP:V and WP:RS. We are guided by policy here.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 03:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

"No, his mind is not for rent/ to any god or government" seems like an unambiguous criticism of religion to me. However, I'd imagine that Rush has better songs that demonstrate anti-religious sentiment than Tom Sawyer(like 2112).LedRush (talk) 18:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

I feel a need to comment here. The Rush songs mentioned are OBVIOUSLY critical of religion. There is simply no way of writing an encyclopedia, if the editor isn't allowed to think for himself a tiny bit. At least it will be a much worse encyclopedia. If you take this kind of reasoning, that the editor cannot think even a little bit, to the extreme, it would be a disaster. Even if you did find citations for every sentence, in every article (which would be difficult, and time consuming, especially for "obvious" stuff), you would still have edit wars. People would say "that citation is out of context", or "that citation references a non-reliable source". How do you resolve those edit wars, if you aren't allowed to think anyway? Why don't we, instead of discussing technicalities, put more effort into the subject matter? If all editors agree that "his mind is not for rent to any god" implies a certain skepticism, aren't there better things to use our minds for, than to try and hunt down a naive music critic who has found a need to actually write down "Rush appear to be skeptic about religion, since the song Tom Sawyer contains the lines 'his mind is not for rent to any god'"?

"Tom Sawyer" in Popular Culture

 * Perhaps the following could be the base of a new section:

"Tom Sawyer" in popular culture
As one of Rush's most recognizable and popular songs, "Tom Sawyer" has become a part of pop culture. The song has been featured in several movies, such as Rob Zombie's reimagining of Halloween and Adam Sandler's The Waterboy and TV shows, like Futurama. "Tom Sawyer" has also been covered by Sebastian Bach, Mindless Self Indulgence, Disarray, Run for Cover and a few classical musicians and Barenaked Ladies played a small part of the song in "Grade 9". The song was played live on The Colbert Report and is included in the popular rhythm-based video game Rock Band.

 * I can cite any of these facts, but didn't want to go through the trouble until the language was agreed on, seeing as there was some related discussion on this topic before.

 * In my opinion, this information is notable as if reflects on the importance of the song in popular culture. Because of this layout and for this reason, it is not merely trivia or a collection of facts, but an essential part of knowing the impact and scope of the song and also assists in an examination into how society views the song.

 * Finally, I would delete the reference to the Colbert Report in the opening and just beef up the mention of it here...it feels out of place in the opening to me (like a randomly placed fact). Any thoughts?LedRush (talk) 19:05, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Other than fixing my typos, any ideas at all?LedRush (talk) 15:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd be inclined to say that since the airing of the Colbert Report and it's obvious culture significance, we should put your ideas into the article. I like the prose too.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 16:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't find it objectionable; you guys might have put it in already, but I would suggest removing Disarray from the list of bands that have covered it, since it is redlinked, and I would say that makes it nn. This is just in the interest of having a via media between no pop culture, and and a cluttered list of trivia. Carl.bunderson (talk) 19:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * While I'm a little averse to have redlinks within the article, it is sourced. On the negative side, I'm not entirely sure how notable the entry is given the fact that we have yet to create an article on the band. For now I'm going to remove it for cleanliness and wikification purposes.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 20:00, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, with the source I'm not dead-set against its inclusion, but at the same time, I don't think that it does, or should, aim to be an exhaustive list of covers. To that end, the more restrictive our standards for inclusion, the better. Carl.bunderson (talk)

If we want to be comprehensive on the use in popular culture Tom Sawyer was covered on Deadsy's "Commencement" album released in 2002. It is also sampled by Fort Minor for the beat for "All Night" on the We Major mixtape.Whitoflaven (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 02:42, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 * We are not trying to be comprehensive; rather, the standard for inclusion is that the covering band is notable, i.e., blue-linked. Carl.bunderson (talk) 03:16, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Right, no need to enumerate every band/group/artist that ever covered the song, or made reference to it. Incidentally, Deadsy is a notable band. I had included it days ago, but it was removed, probably because there was no source. I think a tracklisting from a retailer would suffice if it has appeared on a released album.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 03:19, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * yeah, I don't think we necessarily need a source for each band; as long as they're notable that's fine. I doubt people are going to add notable bands that have not actually covered the song, since it is so easily verifiable. So if I was the one to remove it, sorry about that. Carl.bunderson (talk) 03:36, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

It should be noted that South Park had a scene where the boys are posing as "Lil' Rush". They play the song, and Cartman begins singing the wrong lyrics (describing Huckleberry Finn, another book by Mark Twain, rather than Tom Sawyer). Rush has used this scene from South Park as an intro to playing Tom Sawyer. You can see an instance of this at the following Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh_9NY56Sxw — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.229.144.71 (talk) 15:25, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Growl in Tom Sawyer
I see it got removed because it was "unsourced."

I don't know how to source material but I can tell you that the growl was NOT made on the taurus pedals. Geddy Lee used the Minimoog during the 7/8 part (He now uses a Little Phatty-I own one and it sounds almost exactly identical).

The Oberheim OB-X sound is used to create the "growl."

I have played an Oberheim before and here's how you create the sound.

1. Select the preset voice #1. 2. Turn the "resonance" dial about 3/4 full. 3. Turn the "decay" dial about 2/3 to the right.

There you have it!

If you try playing that on a moog or the taurus pedals, it'll sound "thin" because they're monophonic (plays one note at a time) The Oberheim has 8 voice polyphony. Geddy Lee plays 'E' on octaves to create the notes.--Greg D. Barnes (talk) 20:23, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't doubt your personal knowledge on the subject, in fact, I flat out believe you. However, two things: 1.)Is it really relevant to be included in the article and 2.)Anything that is likely to be challenged/ is unsourced may be removed. What you are describing is plainly original research.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 20:37, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that stuff out, I'll stop posting "synth info" in rush song pages.--Greg D. Barnes (talk) 21:06, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't think that was the point...if you found a reference and blended the new language into the article nicely, it'll probably survive.LedRush (talk) 21:15, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, LedRush is correct. If you could find a source for it, by all means, put it in.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 21:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Take a look at this video link to youtube. Notice during the 7/8 part Geddy's playing his Minimoog? And right below it, is the Oberheim OB-X used to create the growl! Not too shabby for a guy who spends his days putting synth info in classic rock band pages! LOL!--Greg D. Barnes (talk) 10:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, youtube is not considered a reliable source.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 02:43, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Come on guys! An exact description of the settings of the instrument, and of the instrument type, is a much BETTER reference than, let's say, a synth magazine review, or even a research paper. The whole point of references is that they are verifiable. Getting one of those synths, and trying those settings, seems like something that is rather straightforward. Sure, it may be expensive. But so are lots of other references - for instance references to rare, old books. What "needs citation" really is about, is that references should be verifiable (or perhaps falsifiable is a better word). If someone said "I saw geddy play synth X at conert Y", that is non-verifiable, not usable as citation. A step-by-step description on how to produce the sound is verifiable. Another example: If someone claims to quote a rare book, and some other wikipedian later gets hold of the book, and notices it doesn't say what is claimed, that reference would be rightfully removed. Even though "original research" has happened. It's the exact same with these synth-settings. If some other wikipedian doubts the information, he/she can get such a synth, and try the settings, and then rightfully remove the information. I'm worried that "No original research", and "needs citation" arguments are being wrongfully used as instruments of power in wikipedia. Like this latest trend of removing obvious statements with the motivation "original research". Just my 2 cents. --Avl (talk) 11:22, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Disarray
Why delete the reference to Disarray? They have one of the most popular covers for Tom Sawyer...LedRush (talk) 06:06, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Alternate Ending Live
Is it worth mentioning the alternate ending they've been playing when performing live? The ending has a segment out of Cygnus X-1, am I right? Gpia7r (talk) 17:00, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I'd say it is, provided you can source it. Carl.bunderson (talk) 21:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * On this same note, why is the Rock Band version of Tom Sawyer longer than the version in Moving Pictures? The Rock Band is supposedly from Moving Pictures, and has a fuller ending, that is more similar to the one they play live. I notice the radio and the CD versions always fade out early, is there a place to find the "fuller" version? 216.136.4.136 (talk) 18:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * They spliced the riff section right before the solo and placed it at the end.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 18:26, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

"Spirit of Radio" not breakthrough song
Removed the statement "...as the follow-up to their breakthrough hit "The Spirit of Radio." from the article. It was most definitely not their breakthrough, although it is their highest charting single at #8 in the US.

Based on record sales, arguably, "Hemispheres" was the album with which they first cracked into the big time. However, some would plumb for 2112. Either way, it was not "Spirit of Radio" which put them on the map.

Number 1 Song To Play Arcade Games To, by Nintendo Power
Alright, so I see there was a big argument over this song and trivia. I am not sure why, and I'm not here to stir up any bad memories. But, I would like to point out that many of Tom Sawyer's appearances in popular media stem from that ranking. Off the top of my head, both Futurama and Chuck's appearance was based on video games, and based on Nintendo Power's award to it. So, it would seem to be important to at least include this notion in the the trivia for the song. But it's Wikipedia and I know what kind of editor wars can occur, so I'm just gonna throw this one out there and hope someone bites, instead of biting my head off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.67.27 (talk) 07:17, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Archer episode not relevant
In the cited episode of Archer, Krieger is attempting to learn the drum solo from YYZ. Any Rush fan worth his salt knows that "the drum solo from rush" is a non sequitur. This tidbit has nothing to do with this song and should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.213.128.251 (talk) 07:03, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Is it relevant that Jimmy Wales chose this song as one of his eight on Desert Island Disks http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05vstzl — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.150.97.26 (talk) 08:55, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Edits
I would like Tom Sawyer's inclusion in the Ready Player One trailer as well as some other notable uses of the song in popular media (e.g. Futurama) to be added to the article. The "other uses" section should be brought back as this song is often used in popular media as a reference to 80's nostalgia or Rush nostalgia.

I would also like to add that Geddy Lee used a Fender Jazz Bass on this song instead of his usual Rickenbacker. This fact is very notable because it signifies Geddy Lee's abandonment of Rickenbackers in a large majority of Rush's later work (transitioning to Fenders and Wals). — Preceding unsigned comment added by SomePersona (talk • contribs) July 24, 2017 (UTC)

 * An indiscriminate list of a song's uses in popular culture is not encyclopedic. Imagine how long (and pointless) a similar list would be at "Happy Birthday". (Please see WP:IPC and WP:NOT.)

 * If there is some significance to Lee's choice of guitars on this song, you will need to find independent reliable sources discussing that significance. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 14:04, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

"Happy Birthday" is not known for being feautured in other films. Tom Sawyer, as well as some other songs (e.g. Bohemian Rhapsody in Suicide Squad trailer and Wayne's World, The Seeker in the Batman v Superman trailer as well as other media), are less known than Happy Birthday, and therefore, the songs I have placed in parentheses have articles containing this information. Even the Shake It Off (Taylor Swift song) article tells you that the song was used in the Norm of the North trailer.

Synonyms for "encyclopedic" include "complete," "thorough," and "in-depth." Not including this section in the article would go against all of those. Including an IPC section in the Happy Birthday article would not make sense as Happy Birthday is a commonly used song; Tom Sawyer is not, and when it is used in popular culture, it is usually directed towards 80's nostalgia or the watching Rush fan, topics that are much more specific than someone's birthday.

WP:IPC specifically justifies IPC sections and says that they must contain "bona fide cultural references." There are bona fire cultural references to Tom Sawyer, so therefore, I believe this section should be included.

As for Geddy's Fenders, I can find sources for those, which I will later add to this talk page.

Thanks for the feedback. SomePersona (talk) 15:01, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Agree with this is all MOS:POPCULT in particular Unfortunately, these sections are frequently just lists of appearances and mentions, many of them unencyclopedically trivial  -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 15:53, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * "Encyclopedic" does not mean everything.

 * A song being used in a movie is not a "cultural reference" to the song, it is a use of the song. "Happy Birthday" has been used in thousands of movies and TV shows. We shouldn't list all of them, nor should we indiscriminately pick and choose which to list based on our opinions of what it might be referring to or who it might be directed to.

 * A rule of thumb I have found to be useful is coverage: If independent reliable sources about the song discuss (not mention) its use, you might have something worth including.

 * Take, for example, Richard Nixon. He is referred to in countless films, album titles, rock songs, operas, skit comedy shows, talk show monologues, disembodied-heads-in-jars shows, knock knock jokes and riddles. A complete list would be exceptionally long and completely pointless. Richard Nixon doesn't list any of them.

 * Gerald Ford, OTOH, discusses a skit on SNL, but not his disembodied head. The difference is telling: Those SNL skits are discussed by CBS, MSNBC, The Independent, the New York Times and other articles writing about Ford's failed re-election run.

 * While I'm reluctant to say that what another article does is a reasonable guideline for what to do in another article (what makes us think the other article is right?), the Nixon/Ford difference is fairly sharp. Additionally, you point to "Bohemian Rhapsody" in Wayne's World. Note the sourcing there. In addition to the film's use earning the song an MTV award, bringing the song back to the charts and being otherwise cited, one of the sources is Queen's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, which -- in line with WP:IPC -- discusses the song's impact on pop culture, rather than merely mentioning it: "Over the years, Queen songs have become pop culture touchstones. "Bohemian Rhapsody" was used for a pivotal scene during Wayne's World, which helped the song re-enter the U.S. singles charts and peak at No. 2 in 1992..." Rush's induction has nothing similar for "Tom Sawyer".

 * "When properly written, such sections can positively distinguish Wikipedia from more traditional encyclopedias. They should be verifiable and should contain facts of genuine interest to the reader. Detailing a topic's impact upon popular culture can be a worthwhile contribution to an article, provided that the content is properly sourced and consistent with policies and guidelines, such as neutral point of view, no original research, and what Wikipedia is not. When poorly written or poorly maintained, however, these sections can devolve into indiscriminate collections of trivia or cruft. They should be carefully maintained, as they may attract trivial entries, especially if they are in list format." WP:IPC

 * You are proposing an indiscriminate list of uses in pop culture. Yes, it was in the film. However, "merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia"(WP:Indiscriminate), rather than a sourced discussion of the song's impact. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 16:51, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Clearly, listing every use of the song is silly, so why don't I instead propose adding a legacy section to the article, stating that the song has been played live on every Rush tour since its release, mention a few people that have covered it (e.g. Foo Fighters, Imagine Dragons), and discuss its cultural impact with only a few examples (probably very notable references that cater to 80's nostalgia; I would probably mention its use in Futurama and its use in a Comic-Con trailer for Ready Player One, a film with a plot that includes lots of cultural nostalgia, and that's it). I think it is at least important to include this song's impact considering that it's probably Rush's most famous song. SomePersona (talk) 17:33, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Original research is a likely problem here. Do you have reliable sources discussing the song's legacy/cultural impact? - Sum mer PhD v2.0 18:13, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

No, I would simply say Tom Sawyer has been featured in many films such as Halloween, TV shows such as Family Guy and Futurama, and trailers such as the Ready Player One trailer. It is not a long and pointless list and gets to the point that Tom Sawyer is featured in a lot of media. I have now also found two biographies of Rush that talk about the cultural impact of Tom Sawyer, so I can use both of those as sources.

SomePersona (talk) 20:03, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

 * It sounds like the first part is the same indiscriminate list, rewritten. "Happy Birthday" has been featured in many films such as Logan, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Batman Begins, Leon: The Professional, Full Metal Jacket, Furious 7, The Grand Budapest Hotel, District 9, Blow, The Road Warrior, Notting Hill, Wall Street. Milk, Clear and Present Danger... It's featured in a lot of media. So are "God Bless America", "Amazing Grace", "Traveling Riverside Blues", "Come on Eileen" and a bunch of other songs. The point is synthesis.

 * If you have something in other sources, a cite and quotes would be helpful. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 22:50, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

"Experiencing Rush: A Listener's Companion" by Durrell Bowman, a public music historian and musicologist, specifically dedicates an entire three paragraphs (pages 57 to 58) to discussing Tom Sawyer's cultural impact. SomePersona (talk) 00:31, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Let us look at some of the trailers from Comic-Con just released to the public 1-2 days ago and the songs they used to see if the trailers' uses of the songs are featured on Wikipedia.

The Thor: Ragnarok trailer uses a song called "In the Face of Evil" by Magic Sword. The song does not have an article, but the band does, and in the history section of that article, it is noted that In the Face of Evil was used in the Thor: Ragnarok trailer.

The Star Trek: Discovery trailer uses the song "I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After. Inside the article is a long list of cover versions of the song, including the cover used for the trailer (it does not the say the artist).

The Walking Dead trailer uses the song "Prisoner's Song" by Dropkick Murphys. In the main section of the article for Signed and Sealed in Blood, the album that this song is from, it mentions the song's use in the trailer.

The Stranger Things trailer uses "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. The Thriller article has a section dedicated to the song's appearances in other media, including its mere use in a trailer for Stranger Things.

Let's finish with the Ready Player One trailer. It uses two songs: "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and "Tom Sawyer" by Rush. The first song is merely suggested through orchestra, and the second song is used much more thoroughly in the final, action-packed section of the trailer. Now let's take a look at both of those articles. The article for Pure Imagination not only includes this use in the trailer, but the section dedicated to noting its uses in popular culture (titled "Adaptations") is the longest section in the article.

And in the Tom Sawyer article, not only will you not find its use in the trailer; you will find none of its uses in popular culture at all.

Remember that these trailers have only been out for a few days, and already, their use of songs has been documented on Wikipedia.

If including Tom Sawyer's use in a trailer is still incorrect, then all of the songs I have listed above should have their articles cleared for mere uses in trailers (and the IPC content that is in some of the song's articles should be removed).

SomePersona (talk) 03:49, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

 * As I've said, there are millions of other articles on Wikipedia. A few of them are nearly perfect, standing as shining examples of all of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Some are such irredeemable disasters that we should probably delete them and start over. Most are somewhere in between.

 * Yes, if you pick an article at random, particularly one popping back into the public's attention, you'll find some recent additions that perhaps shouldn't be there. You might, for example, find trivial mentions of a recent film's advertisement using a song that few people will remember (and fewer still care about) in 10 short years. Copying what other articles do makes the project more consistent, not better. Do any of those articles have typos, unsourced claims about living people or internally conflicting facts? If so, should we work to do the same thing here?
 * Maybe we should clean up a few of the problems, rather than copying them. I'd assume you would agree that there is no point in including random cover versions by non-notable bands, right? How about barely coherent sentence fragments? We certainly don't want to mimic "Song intro of movie Our Brand Is Crisis (2015)". In fact, we don't want to include entire sections that conflict with our style guides. We shouldn't include our own interpretation of the song,, use blogs and internet forums as sources, skip obvious sources for important facts, make basic grammatical errors, or guess about hundreds of critics based on a sample of two.

 * Instead of incorporating the mistakes of other articles in this one, we should base our editing on Wikipedia's policies, guidelines and style guide.

 * Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There is no objective reason for including the specific examples you selected. If there is a reason to include a complete list (such as in a list of the mayors of a town), we do so. In no case should we build an indiscriminate list of examples we've selected based on our own opinions.

 * We should be weary of the possibility that we are including recent material strictly because it is currently getting attention.

 * If a random selection of uses makes sense here (it doesn't), it would be equally relevant in other articles (such as "Happy Birthday"). If there is something meaningful in the song's use in various films, independent reliable sources will discuss that.

 * Yes, the song is in a trailer for a film. Ten years from now, the trivial nature of that will be very obvious. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 13:57, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Synth part before guitar solo
I read recently that the six-note synth lick that precedes the guitar solo, then becoming the bass line under the solo and finally being doubled by the guitar at the end of the solo started out as something Geddy would absentmindedly play during sound checks.

Psychedelic addition?
Does anyone else here get psychedelic vibes from this song? It certainly sounded like psychedelic music to me, so I was surprised when I first looked this up on Wikipedia and didn't see psychedelic rock listed as a genre. Moreover, I just watched the music video, and (especially in the beginning and the end) it felt pretty trippy.

Canada at the 2000 Summer Olympics

Canada competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, held from 15 September to 1 October 2000. 294 competitors, 150 men, and 144 women, took part in 175 events in 29 sports.

The final days of the Olympics for Canada were somewhat overshadowed by the death of Pierre Trudeau, the country's 15th prime minister. When the closing ceremonies took place, he was lying in state, allowing Canadians to travel to Ottawa to pay their respects.

Olympic scholar Bob Barney felt that Canada needed to specialize in the Olympics, rather than trying to be compete at too many sports. He also that felt that Canada's medal count at the 2000 Summer Olympics, was due to a lack of government funding, and poor planning to develop high performance athletes.

Canada's women did not fare so well, with two of them placing in the 30s and the third not finishing.

Death of Pierre Trudeau
Near the end of the Summer Olympics, on 28 September, Canadian athletes learned that former prime minister (from 1968 to 1984), Pierre Trudeau, had died. Owing to time difference, it was 29 September in Sydney.

Juan Antonio Samaranch, presiding over his last Olympics as IOC president, ordered the Canadian flag at athletes' village lowered to half-staff on orders from Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy. As the flag was lowered, Canadian athletes paid tribute to Trudeau During medal ceremonies, whenever the Canadian flag flew, it was flown at half-mast, also on orders from Samaranch and Axworthy. They both ordered the Canadian flag flown at half-staff for the remainder of the Olympics, as the state funeral didn't take place until 3 October.

 * Roots Canada was the official outfitter of clothing for members of the Canadian Olympic team. The same clothing was also sold at Roots stores in Canada.

Naomi Long

Naomi Rachel Long MLA (née Johnston; born 13 December 1971) is a Northern Irish politician who has served as Minister of Justice in the Northern Ireland Executive since February 2024, having previously served from January 2020 to October 2022. She has served as leader of the Alliance Party since 2016 and a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Belfast East since 2020.

Long served as Lord Mayor of Belfast from 2009 to 2010 and represented Belfast East in the Northern Ireland Assembly from 2003 to 2010. She resigned as an MLA after being elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Belfast East at the 2010 general election. She served for one parliamentary term and lost her seat to the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) at the 2015 general election. She returned to the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2016, before resigning for a second time after being elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Northern Ireland in 2019. After the United Kingdom left the European Union in 2020, Long returned as an MLA and was appointed Minister of Justice in the Northern Ireland Executive.

Background
Born in east Belfast, she attended Mersey Street Primary and Bloomfield Collegiate School. She graduated from Queen's University of Belfast with a degree in civil engineering in 1994, worked in a structural engineering consultancy for two years, held a research and training post at Queen's University for three years, and then went back into environmental and hydraulic engineering consultancy for four years.

Political career
She first took political office in 2001 when she was elected to Belfast City Council for the Victoria ward. In 2003 Long was elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly for Belfast East, succeeding her fellow party member John Alderdice. In 2006 she was named deputy leader of her party. In 2007 she more than doubled the party's vote in the constituency, being placed second ahead of the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party. The overall UUP vote, however, was 22%. At 18.8%, her vote share was higher than that for Alderdice in 1998.

On 1 June 2009 she was elected as Lord Mayor of Belfast, defeating William Humphrey (Democratic Unionist Party) by 26 votes to 24 in a vote at a council meeting. She became the second woman to hold the post, after Grace Bannister (1981–82).

Member of Parliament
On 6 May 2010 she defeated Peter Robinson, First Minister of Northern Ireland and leader of the DUP, to become Member of Parliament (MP) for Belfast East in the House of Commons. She became the first MP elected to Westminster for the Alliance Party (previously, Stratton Mills, a former Ulster Unionist Party MP, had changed parties to Alliance). Long also became the first Liberal-affiliated MP elected to Westminster in Northern Ireland since James Brown Dougherty in Londonderry City in 1914. Despite the close relationship between the Alliance Party and the Liberal Democrats, Long did not sit with the coalition government nor take the coalition whip and was not a member of the Liberal Democrats.

On 10 December 2012, Long received a number of death threats and a petrol bomb was thrown inside an unmarked police car guarding her constituency office. This violence erupted as a reaction by Ulster loyalists to the decision by Alliance Party members of Belfast City Council to vote in favour of restricting the flying of the Union flag at Belfast City Hall to designated days throughout the year, which at the time constituted 18 specific days.

In 2015, Long lost her seat in the Commons to Gavin Robinson of the DUP, as a result of a five-party unionist pact in the constituency which saw the UUP, UKIP, TUV and PUP all stand aside in favour of Robinson.

She contested the seat for Alliance at the next two elections, and was the unsuccessful Alliance PPC for Belfast East for the 2024 United Kingdom general election.

Return to the Northern Ireland Assembly
In January 2016, Long announced that she would return as an Assembly candidate in the 2016 elections having been nominated in place of incumbent Judith Cochrane. She was subsequently elected on the first count with 14.7% of first-preference votes. Following her return to the Assembly, Long assumed positions on the Committee for Communities, the All Party Group on Fairtrade, the All Party Group for Housing, and chaired the All Party Group on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

In August 2016, Long called for Sinn Féin's Máirtín Ó Muilleoir to stand aside as Minister of Finance during an investigation of the Stormont Finance Committee's handling of its Nama inquiry, while Ó Muilleoir was a committee member. This followed allegations that his party had "coached" loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson prior to his appearance before the committee.

In November 2016, Long criticised Sinn Féin and the DUP for delaying the publication of a working group report on abortion, which recommended legislative changes in cases of fatal foetal abnormality, calling on the Executive "to act without further delay to help women who decide to seek a termination in these very difficult circumstances".

Leader of the Alliance Party
On 26 October 2016, Long was elected Alliance leader unopposed following the resignation of David Ford. In the first manifesto released under her leadership, Long affirmed her commitment to building a "united, open, liberal and progressive" society. Her party's legislative priorities were revealed to include the harmonisation and strengthening of equality and anti-discrimination measures, the introduction of civil marriage equality, development of integrated education and a Northern Ireland framework to tackle climate change.

In the 2017 Assembly election, Long topped the poll in Belfast East and was returned to the Assembly with 18.9% of first-preference votes. The election was widely viewed as a success for Alliance, with the party increasing its vote share by 2 percentage points and retaining all of its seats in a smaller Assembly. The party subsequently held the balance of power at Stormont.

Alliance targeted two seats in South and Belfast East in the 2017 general election. During the campaign, Long reaffirmed her support for a People's Vote, marriage equality, Votes at 16 and greater transparency surrounding political donations. She also pledged to oppose any rollback of the Human Rights Act.

Following the collapse of talks to restore devolution in February 2018, Long reiterated her view that the pay of MLAs should be cut in the absence of a functioning Executive. In March 2018, Alliance launched its 'Next Steps Forward' paper, outlining a number of proposals aimed at breaking the deadlock and Stormont. At the 2019 Alliance Party Conference, she accused Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Karen Bradley of an "appalling dereliction of duty" over the ongoing stalemate, saying that she had made "no concerted effort to end this interminable drift despite it allegedly being her top priority".

In the 2019 local elections, Alliance saw a 65% rise in its representation on councils. Long hailed the "incredible result" as a watershed moment for politics in Northern Ireland.

Long was elected to the European Parliament as a representative for Northern Ireland in May 2019 with 18.5% of first-preference votes, the best ever result for Alliance. She was subsequently replaced in the Assembly by Máire Hendron, a founding member of the party and former deputy lord mayor of Belfast. She then replaced Hendron in the Assembly with effect from 9 January 2020.

In 2019, Long became the first Northern Ireland politician to have served at every level of government.

In March 2022, Long told the Alliance Party Conference that "some politicians are addicted to crisis and conflict and simply not up to the job of actually governing". Long led Alliance into the 2022 Assembly election on a platform of integrated education, health reform, a Green New Deal, tackling paramilitarism and reform of the Stormont institutions.

Minister of Justice
On 11 January 2020, following the restoration of the Northern Ireland Assembly after three years of stalemate, Long was elected Minister of Justice in the Northern Ireland Executive. On 28 January, Long announced that she would progress new domestic abuse legislation through the Assembly which would make coercive control a criminal offence in Northern Ireland. In June 2020, Long commissioned a review into the support available for prison officers following concerns about absence rates. That same month, she announced her intention to introduce unexplained wealth orders in Northern Ireland to target paramilitary and criminal finances.

In November 2020, Long said she was seriously reconsidering her position within the Executive following the DUP's deployment of a cross-community vote to prevent an extension of COVID-19 regulations. She told BBC News, "I have asked people to desist from this abuse of power because it will make my position in the executive unsustainable."

Personal life
Long is a member of Bloomfield Presbyterian Church. Following the Church's decision to exclude those in same-sex relationships from being full members, she expressed "great concern" and stated that she "didn't know" if she would remain a member herself. She is married to Michael Long, an Alliance councillor on Belfast City Council and former Lord Mayor of Belfast, and son of the engineer Professor Adrian Long. Long and her husband are the first husband and wife to have both served as Lord Mayors of Belfast.

In August 2017, Long revealed that she had been suffering from endometriosis and would undergo surgery for the condition.

China at the 2000 Summer Olympics

The People's Republic of China competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. The team excluded athletes from the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, after the territory's return to Chinese rule in 1997, and which competed separately as Hong Kong, China.

Krabby
Not sure what the full name of the character in SpongeBob SquarePants is, but it appears that there is a redirect for Krabby Patty that exists; it points to SpongeBob SquarePants. If you want to create an article with that title, click on the previous link, and then click on the "redirected from Krabby Patty" that appears, and then edit.

If the full name of the character is just "Krabby", then you may want to write an article with a title something along the lines of Krabby (SpongeBob SquarePants).

Once you've done that, I've added a line to the top of Krabby pointing to SpongeBob SquarePants; you may want to change the link.

Hope this helps. Thanks and happy edits! JYolkowski // talk 20:19, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephan Kinsella

 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 delete. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 04:45, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Stephan Kinsella
Stephan Kinsella is a non-notable corporate lawyer who has written some articles and contributed to some e-published legal treatises. This is a slightly edited down version of his autobiography, posted by an administrator at an institute of which he's an adjunct member. He does blog a lot, hence some Google hits.

 * Delete Vanity. The JPS 21:10, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 02:20, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't really give a crap one way or the other, but it is not a vanity page, I am not a "corporate" lawyer, and I still have no idea who was the one who posted the original entry. It was news to me and I still do not know who did it. Nskinsella 17:04, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong Speedy Keep, Stephan Kinsella is my personal hero. Unisgned vote by User:157.252.160.135, (8 edits)
 * Don't you just love NPOV? The JPS 19:11, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable, although I really enjoyed his recent blog about farting in the shower.--Duk 19:30, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC) [I think you are referring to this entry. 216.216.209.2 21:05, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)]

 * This notion of NPOV is comical. Willmcw clearly has an agenda. When he couldn’t get rid of Kinsella’s article through his claim of copyright violation he nominated it for deletion. Further, there are scores of less  notable people with their own articles on Wikipedia. Unisgned comment by User:157.252.160.135
 * Feel free to list these alleged less notable people on vfd. Whatever agenda you claim the nominator has, other wikipedians have voted delete anyway. The only keep vote so far is from you, an anon IP. (cue the socks.) The JPS 21:59, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Take a look at the articles started by Willmcw has started, there are certainly less notable people among them. As to Kinsella's status as being notable, he is certainly considered one of the top authors in his field. The fact is the voters have no knowledge of that particular area. They would probably think Walter Block is similarly non-notable. As to my vote, clearly it was somewhat in jest, and like Kinsella, I don’t care if you delete the article. However, I won’t stand by and let you think there was some sort of legitimate process that took place in its selection for deletion. As to my not being registered, I don't intend to register.
 * That's absolutely fine. Whatever the motivation for nomination, the vfd process is legitimate. The JPS 22:47, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep your illusions. This process has no legitimacy at all. You're trying to pass it as "democracy" because there's a "vote" involved. 3 or 4 persons voting in support of their friend when he asks for it is hardly democracy (I'm using "friend" in the sense of "fellow Wikipedian aristocrat"). Wllmcw is clearly calling this vote because he felt offended that his GNU propaganda wasn't shared by the article's subject. Wikipedia is about transmitting knowledge, not forcing everybody to accept the GNU licence. --Franz1984 (forgot my password)
