User talk:Spanish lullaby

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:57, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Sociology membership
You are listed in the Category:Wikipedians interested in sociology, probably due to the use of "This user is interested in sociology" userbox, but you have not added yourself to our official member list for WikiProject Sociology. This prevents you from, among other things, receiving our sociology newsletter, as that member list acts as our newsletter mailing list (you can find the latest issue of our sociology newsletter here). If you'd like to receive the newsletter and help us figure out how many members we really have, please consider joining our WikiProject and adding yourself to our official member list.

Survey
Hi Spanish lullaby!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

An exciting month of wiki events!
 Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best, James Hare

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Ancestry trees
Two of your recent additions to the ancestry trees of the articles Charles I of England and Edward II of England have been reverted by user:DrKay and user:Hchc2009. Both are featured articles.

I have reverted you addition of an Ancestry tree to Albert II, Prince of Monaco because it is a biography of a living person and covered by the requirements of WP:BLP specifically WP:BLPSOURCES.

It is very easy to construct an ancestry tree from unreliable sources published on the internet. However it only takes one mistake for large parts of the tree to be incorrect. For example if a grandmother is recorded as the first wife rather the the second wife (the correct mother), then a quarter of the tree will be inaccurate, even if all the other entries for every single person are correct. For this reason trees need accurate sourcing from reliable sources.

It is easy to find the parents of a child in the child's biography, but it is often difficult to find all the children of couple. However not all children are notable enough to have a biography in a reliable source. This leads to people adding unwittingly adding WP:OR into an ancestry tree.

Let us suppose we are looking for the parents of a daughter X the grandmother of the subject of an article. However X does not have a biography in a reliable source, but the father of X does (call him Y). In the Biography of Y it names his wife (Z). The biography of Y states that Y and Z had a son (A) and four daughters only 2 of which are named (B,C), but not the other two. Now it may be that X is one of those two unnamed daughters, or it may be that X is the daughter of another marriage not included in the biography of Y. If one jumps to the conclusion that X is the daughter of Y and Z then this breaks the WP:NOR policy specifically a "synthesis of published material, because to conclude that the mother of Y is the grandmother of X is a synthesis.

Please list the sources you used to support the additions you made to Charles I of England, Edward II of England, and Albert II, Prince of Monaco, so we can discuss if they are adequate reliable sources for the additions you made to the three ancestry trees. -- PBS (talk)

Björk Guðmundsdóttir & tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar

Björk Guðmundsdóttir & tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar was an Icelandic jazz music band. The band formed in 1990 when singer and songwriter Björk, who at the time sang for The Sugarcubes, joined the tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar with pianist Guðmundur Ingólfsson, drummer Guðmundur "Pappa Jazz" Steingrímsson, and bassist Þórður Högnason.

History
According to one version of events, Björk and Guðmundur Ingólfsson developed a friendship after playing together in 1987 at Hótel Borg in Reykjavík. Another story says that Björk's appearances on a local jazz radio program called Góðravinafundur made an impression on Guðmundur Steingrímsson, and that she, at the age of 16, would hang around his recording sessions at Labbi Þórarinsson's farm Glora.

The group's only album, Gling-Gló (1990), went platinum in Iceland. It was distributed by Bad Taste in Iceland and One Little Indian in the U.K. In 1991 pianist Guðmundur Ingólfsson died of cancer and the group disbanded.

The album contains Icelandic songs and a few jazz songs. Björk sang in English on two songs: "Ruby Baby" and "I Can't Help Loving That Man". and in Icelandic on "Það sést ekki sætari mey" (English: "There Is No Sweeter Girl"), which is incorrectly cited in the liner notes as having been written by Rodgers and Hammerstein. The song is a cover version of "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun" by Irving Berlin from the musical Annie Get Your Gun. The Icelandic songs were recorded live at Studio Syrland in Reykjavík. The two English songs were recorded on August 23, 1990 at Ríkisútvarpið (the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service).

40-meter band

The 40-meter or 7-MHz band is an amateur radio frequency band, spanning 7.000-7.300 MHz in ITU Region 2, and 7.000-7.200 MHz in Regions 1 & 3. It is allocated to radio amateurs worldwide on a primary basis; however, only 7.000-7.200 MHz is exclusively allocated to amateur radio worldwide. Shortwave broadcasters and land mobile users also have primary allocations in some countries, and amateur stations must share the band with these users.

40-meters is considered one of the most reliable all-season long distance communication (DX) and intercontinental bands.

History
The 40-meter band was made available to amateurs in the United States by the Third National Radio Conference on October 10, 1924, and allocated on a worldwide basis by the International Radiotelegraph Conference in Washington, D.C., on October 4, 1927.

For many years, the portion of the band from 7.100–7.300 MHz was allocated to short wave broadcast stations outside the Americas, and was not available to radio amateurs outside of ITU Region 2. At the World Radio Conference WRC-03 in 2003, it was agreed that the broadcast stations would move out of the section 7.100–7.200 MHz on 29 March 2009 and that portion would become a worldwide exclusive amateur allocation afterwards. Releasing the remaining 100 kHz of the band to amateurs at a later date is an IARU aim for future conferences.

Radio propagation characteristics
This band supports both long distance (DX) and intercontinental communications between late afternoon and a few hours after sunrise, and local-to-medium distance NVIS communication during most daylight hours.

With its unique combination of intracontinental and intercontinental communications possibilities, 40-meters is considered a key band in building a winning HF contesting score during any part of the sunspot cycle.

Usage
The band is most useful for long distance (DX) communications and intercontinental communication (ranges greater than 1,500 km or 1,000 miles) for one or two hours before sunset, during the night and for one or two hours after sunrise. It is extremely useful for local-to-medium distance communications out to a range of 600–1,500 km (400–1,000 miles) or more, depending on conditions, during the day. In higher latitudes, daytime intercontinental communication is also possible during the short days of winter, for example a good path often opens between Japan and northern Europe in the hours leading up to European midday from late November through late January, with a long path opening to the west coast of the United States and Canada after midday.

Due to the 24-hour nature of the band, the wide variety of ranges that can be spanned with it, and its shared nature, it tends to be extremely crowded, and interference from other amateurs and broadcasters often limits available and usable frequencies on this band.. In recent years amateurs in east and southeast Asia have also suffered severe interference from illegal users.

Band plans
In most jurisdictions the subdivision of the band into different operating modes is according to informal convention rather than legal requirement.

IARU Region 1
Europe, Africa, Middle East and Northern Asia

IARU Region 2
The Americas

IARU Region 3
Asia-Pacific

Japan
Changed on September 25, 2023. Immediately after the change, stations that ignore international practice and operate SSB on lower frequencies appeared.

Canada
Canada is part of region 2 and as such is subject to the IARU band plan. Radio Amateurs of Canada offers the bandplan below (effective 2023-06-01) as a recommendation for use by radio amateurs in that country but it does not have the force of law and should only be considered a suggestion or guideline.

Talk:A Room of One's Own

Judith Shakespeare vs Judith Quiney
Hi,

I'd like to work in a sentence clarifying the relationship between Woolf's Judith Shakespare, Shakespeare's sister, and the real Judith Quiney, Shakespeare's daughter; but I'm not sufficiently familiar with this work or the relevant sources for it. Could someone who is more familiar with the material have a look and see if a sentence on this could be inserted somewhere (probably around A Room of One's Own somewhere). TIA, --Xover (talk) 14:38, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

The value of "five hundred a year"
The current text inflation-corrects this to £26,870.65. But that is based on the price of consumer goods. Better is a correction based on average earnings. http://www.measuringworth.com/ukcompare/ gives the modern equivalent to be "£77,000.00 using the average earnings". DWorley (talk) 19:16, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure that would be a better measure, since ISTM the important thing is how well you could live on that money. Adjusted for price inflation £500/year comes a bit above average earnings in the UK, so basically she is saying you need to be comfortably off. Samatarou (talk) 22:41, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

 * If the critical question is the amount of material goods you can get, then the index of consumer prices is the correct measure. If the critical question is where you stand in the rankings of society, then the index of earnings is the correct measure.  Unfortunately, "a room of one's own" is real estate, whose price may have moved differently from either of those measures.

 * Perhaps more relevant is the fact that 1929 was before the mechanization of a great deal of housework, and so the critical question may be whether one can hire servants to take care of the manual labor needed to keep even a minimal household working. If that's true, then the index of earnings is again the correct measure.

 * The best index would be a sociological description of what life on 500 pounds in 1929 was like. I remember seeing a discussion of about this point in Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier.  You can read it at http://www.netcharles.com/orwell/books/wiganpier-08.htm, starting at "Of course it is obvious now" and continuing for several paragraphs.  He discusses life at the bottom end of the "upper middle class", people who consider themselves gentlemen and above going into business.  He talks of times "before the war", and there might have been significant inflation during the war; the inflation calculator converts 500 pounds in 1929 to between 230 and 310 pounds in 1913, which is quite at the bottom end of Orwell's zone.  As far as I can tell, it was just enough money that you didn't have to work for a living, "in practice you had one, at most, two resident servants", and you had to avoid any extravagances or expensive hobbies.  He discusses a glass of beer as an extravagance, but perhaps the cost of a pint has declined in relative terms.

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_in_the_United_Kingdom#Post_tax_household_income says that 26,000 pounds is about the 66th percentile of household income (post tax and benefits), and 77,000 pounds is over the 99th percentile.

 * So it seems that a fair description is "quite enough to live on comfortably without working as long as you don't live like you're affluent".

 * In terms of the wealth needed to support that income, UK gov't bonds have yielded 4% in the recent past (before the bust), so you'd need 650,000 pounds to generate 26,000 pounds per year, or almost 2 million pounds to generate 77,000 pounds per year. DWorley (talk) 20:41, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

 * I've put in an edit. I think it makes the significance of 500 pounds clearer. DWorley (talk) 20:21, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Someone might want to rewrite the following so that it makes sense to the average reader. For instance, in US $ - inflation for the years leaves an annual income of $43,000 or $130,000? Rewording? Broken up into more simple, and shorter sentences? I have read it at least 5 times, and the references are not clear to me at all. "Inflation-adjusting £500 in 1929 to the present (2013), gives about £25,000 (about US$43,000) (using inflation of the cost of goods) or about £75,000 (about US$130,000) (using inflation of people's earnings).[19] " Sh33na 20:18, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Copyright
Hi

, to continue our discussion, what do you think we should do for the best? It seems absurd to remove the links (from the infobox, the citation, and the four in external links, including an audiobook), given how widely available this is as a free text (in the UK, Canada and Australia, for example). It's available on Amazon, including Amazon.com, at no cost. On the other hand, it seems you are right that it's still under copyright in the US; see the Hirtle chart. On the third hand, this is because her husband renewed the copyright after her death.

I wonder who the current copyright holder is. SarahSV (talk) 02:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The Society of Authors manages the Woolfs' estates. I agree that it is absurd, but I think the absurdity lies in international copyright law and in Wikipedia's copyright policy. As best I can tell the work is still in copyright in the US and thus can't be uploaded as a file to Commons; can't be transcribed at Wikisource; and can't be linked to from enwp. As I understand it, the Wikimedia Legal position is that this creates liability for contributory copyright infringement (which accords well enough with my understanding of a few really really stupid precedents over the last two decades). In other words, I can't find any alternative but to remove the links. Sorry.That being said, I don't think anyone will have trouble finding an online copy just because we don't link directly to it. And it's even possible we can find sufficient sources discussing the copyright situation for A Room of One's Own directly that we could have a short section in the article explaining it. Anyone reading the article on Wikipedia will twig to the fact that they can just Google for a copy without us having to say so explicitly (which would again fall afoul of our copyright policy). See and  as possible sources for this. --Xover (talk) 09:05, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

 * , good idea about creating a section discussing the copyright. That will alert people to check it out on Google, although the pagination differs between editions. I assume that the copyright holder isn't pursuing the issue, because Amazon.com (based in Seattle) is giving it away. As for who the copyright holder is, this says: "When Leonard passed away on August 14 in 1969, he left Trekkie his entire estate, including his manuscripts and publishing rights. She later transferred these publishing rights, his papers and Monk’s House, to the University of Sussex." See Trekkie Parsons. More here: "Meanwhile, Chatto & Windus, of which Parsons was a director, had in 1946 absorbed the Hogarth Press of which Woolf retained editorial control. She inherited Monk's House and Woolf's papers and was his executrix." SarahSV (talk) 22:51, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's useful. Then the current copyright holder is most likely the University of Sussex and they have a deal with The Society of Authors to handle the practical stuff surrounding licensing. That might also explain why they're so lax about enforcing the copyright: it's public domain in the UK, and British universities aren't usually very eager to be engaged in that sort of rights management in my experience. --Xover (talk) 14:56, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Editions?
Maybe it would be good to add the different editions or at least some of them like in articles to other books in general?--2003:EA:5F49:6991:DC37:87B1:E98:5A59 (talk) 11:25, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Alhambra Decree

Excuses
Seems like the first paragraph digresses greatly from the purpose of the article. I would like to see most of it removed and stick to the purpose of the page which is to describe the Alhambra Decree, not the revocation of it, and the insignificant attempts of the responsible parties to apologize. Almost seems like an advertisement for Catholicism. Definitely written by a Catholic apologist at least. I am asking for a neutral party to consider cleaning it up a bit. Or moving some of it to the bottom of the article because being at the top seems to steer the reader in a certain unnatural direction. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.114.16.212 (talk) 23:41, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

I strongly disagree. From your opinion, it seems that your ideal article would be an inflammatory tirade against Catholicism. The truth is that the article as it is makes absolutely no reference to the fact that the "special status" the Jews enjoyed with their Muslim overlords was thanks to their collaboration financing raids against Spain and providing the Muslims with information. So yes, the article is one-sided, but not for the reasons you brought up. Either leave it as it is or let's get to work completing ALL the missing info, not just the one that you like and enjoy reading. Thank you. 181.21.104.114 (talk) 03:39, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Wikisource
Should the text of the Alhambra decree be moved to Wikisource? -PoptartKing
 * This is not the text of the Alhambra decree, it is a translation. I dunno if that's acceptable on Wikisource...admittedly tho, I don't know basically anything about Wikisource.  Tomer TALK  03:30, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * If it makes any difference, I went through last night and added wikilinks to all the relevant words in the text of translation of the Decree, whereupon IE6 (thank you Bill Gates) crashed b4 my transaction was completed. :-( Tomer TALK  03:32, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Who translated it? Or was it an automated translation?  Automated translations are probably not sufficiently accurate for a work of encyclopædic scope such as this.  38.100.34.2 22:33, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Thats normal. the translation of a text is not the text but a translation :-!. Important to know is that this text is not very popular in Spain and Latinamerica where the Inquisition "completed" the expulsion of Iberia (Portugal 5 years later) killing the rest identity of jewish and conversos in Europe and specially in the "New Kingdom of Granada". Anyhow there are more than facts which witnessed the jewish heritage in Latinamerica. Nowadays genetics are proving this fact that America was discovered, colonized and populated partially thru those expulsed and sons of jewish people.

Muslims?
I've at times found the Alhambra Decree cited in various works as not only an expulsion of Jews but also Muslims. Was there a separate decree for Muslims, or should this information also be included in this article? ---Trippz (talk) 07:30, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Read the text. It says nothing at all about Moslems.  -- Zsero (talk) 07:51, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I saw that. However, my question was because some sources I've come across ref the Alhambra Decree as also directed toward Muslims.  Either the ref is in error, or perhaps there is a separate decree issued in regard to Muslims also called the Alhambra Decree, or the text provided is incomplete or a truncated version directed solely towards Jews.  Just seeking clarification.  --Trippz (talk) 12:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * This is the text of the decree. That's all there was.  Therefore any sources that claim otherwise are wrong.  -- Zsero (talk) 19:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, my mistake. The ref I mentioned does seem to be in error, or I read it wrong.  Either way further research indicates 1609 as the Muslim expulsion.  Sorry for any confusion.  For those interested, details can be found here ... Spanish_Inquisition.  ---Trippz (talk) 09:40, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I believe that Muslims were threatened and persecuted while Jews were straight-forwarldy expelled. There was, after all, the Treaty of Granada that the Catholic Monarchs agreed to, that gave numerous and reasonable rights to Muslims, before breaking it. 151.197.117.178 (talk) 04:02, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Reverted edit to my last version. editor said "hostility to moors irrelevant to this article" Do not understand that statement as my research shows that the 1492 Treaty was with Isabella-Castile & the last Nasrid Muslim Emir Muhammad XII. That its effects were: (1.) immediate 'either/or' forced expulsion (and mass executions) for Jews not converting; Jewish conversos = Marrano in 1492 & (2.) written acceptance of Moors (Mudéjar people) continuing as practicing Muslims and staying in the country. In practice imperfect but not the 'either/or' demands Jews received. Then in c.1501 Ferdinand II, Spanish Inquisition founder, 'uncomfortable' Mudéjars' existance and by c.1502, via 'either/or' demands on Muslims, all remaining were decreed Catholic, Muslim conversos = Morisco. Please check related articles for Islam and Muslim relevance. ---Look2See1 (talk) 20:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Language?
It looks an awful lot like the Edict is written with the Arabic alphabet (though it looks like it's written left-to-right, so I cannot assume that it is also in Arabic). Might some mention be given of what language the edict was actually written in? RobertM525 (talk) 00:00, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Good question. I wonder what the source of the image is.  Unfortunately, and I find this a lot with images, it was copied up to the commons, and the source there is given as the English WP, with no indication of where that came from.  -- Zsero (talk) 00:09, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I did a Google Image search for Alhambra Decree, and I found many other images of the same document. Unfortunately, I didn't see any that spoke to the language on said document. RobertM525 (talk) 04:51, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Muslims were converted or expelled later, starting from 1497. The 1492 decree only concerned Jews. Giordaano (talk) 10:21, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

In Spanish, obviously! The original 1492 Decree language was wrote was: Spanish, obviously! and signed by 'Yo, el Rey' and 'Yo, la Reina', and granted by Royal Secretary signature 'Joan de Coloma' suposed to have jews ancestors. Any other suposed translation to ancien sephardic language 'ladino' or arabic is a mixtification, a fake. Decree order jews must 'salida' -comes out- not only off Spain's shores but also off all Isabel & Fernando possesions beyond Spain mainland: Naples, Corsica & Sardinya, Balearics Islands, Canary Islands, north africans 'plazas', etc. and after comes in effect over the Americas. But did not comes in effect in Navarra kingdom, because it was incorporated to Castila crown by King Fernando in 1512. Infamous Spanish Inquisition was banned in 1836, liberty and freedom for any religion in Spain was stablisehd in 1868. Since 1924 to nowadays, alls Spain' governments and rulers have issued nationals passaports to any sephardic jew who apply for. In WWII, Spanish diplomacy helped and saved over 56,000 jews a top record figure -much more than Sweden and Dennmak did- an never was involved in Holocaust: in reverse of french Vichy pro nazi government, not a single jew was rounded, put under arrest or deported by Spain in WWII years. And the 1492 expelletion decree has officially repeled in 1968 by Franco dictatorship and in 2002 by democratic king Juan Carlos the Ist. Spain have fully diplomatics relations with Israel since 1985 -including spanishs weapons deliverings to Israel. Minister of External Affairs officially funds the 'Casa Sefarad' institution to improve sephardic past. Barcelonne city is sistered with Tel Aviv. And a lot of ancien cities proud of its sephardic roots as Gerona, Toledo, etc. have developed 'Red de Juderías de España' -'Sephardics streets web', a 'judería' means a ghetto, an urban toponymia: a pack of cornered and narrows middle age's streets or 'barrio' where sephardics jews used to living. Lot of spanishs journalists, intelectuals and politicians both from left and ritgh wing openly suport Israel policy and jewish heritage. Of course, as a democratic, modern and a free country must do, thre is not any anti jew law or rule nowadays in Spain, and since more than 150 years.

 * "During persecutions by Iberian Christians, such as the pogroms in Córdoba (1011) and Granada (1066), they [Jews] were assisted by Muslims. Therefore Jews supported and sometimes even assisted their Muslim rulers never forgetting the harsh treatment they had suffered under the Visigothic rulers of the Iberian Peninsula prior to the arrival of Muslims to Iberia[citation needed]."
 * This is a carefully crafted nasty and vicious lie on the part of the author, because exactly the opposite happened. Cordoba in 1011 and Granada in 1066 were under Muslim, not Christian control, and indeed they were the sites of the first large-scale massacres of Jews in medieval Spain, and they were the work of Muslims.
 * The truth is referred to in the Wikipedia page on pogrom.
 * "The eleventh century, however, saw several Muslim pogroms against Jews; those that occurred in Cordoba in 1011 and in Granada in 1066.[6] In the 1066 Granada massacre, a Muslim mob crucified the Jewish vizier Joseph ibn Naghrela and massacred about 4,000 Jews.[7] In 1033 about 6,000 Jews were killed in Fez, Morocco by Muslim mobs.[8][9] Mobs in Fez murdered thousands of Jews, leaving only 11 alive, in 1465.[10]"
 * More on the 'assistance provide by Muslims' to Jews in Spain is given on the page about Maimonides:
 * "The Almohades from Africa conquered Córdoba in 1148, and threatened the Jewish community with the choice of conversion to Islam, death, or exile.[9] Maimonides's family, along with most other Jews, chose exile."
 * Apart from the outright lie I described, the article fails to provide references at its most contentious points. Furthermore, while it mentions that many Jews indeed went to the Ottoman Empire from Spain, it fails to make any mention of the Spanish Jews who found in refuge in Christian lands, for example in the city-states of Italy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.68.95.65 (talk) 05:11, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Acral necrosis

Acral necrosis is a symptom common in bubonic plague. The striking black discoloration of skin and tissue, primarily on the extremities ("acral"), is commonly thought to have given rise to the name "Black Death," associated both with the disease and the pandemic which occurred in the 14th century. The term in fact came from the figural sense of "black", that is ghastly, lugubrious or dreadful.

Acral necrosis may be a symptom of other diseases too. It also has been observed as an adverse event related to a medical treatment.

Charles Magill Conrad

Charles Magill Conrad (December 24, 1804 – February 11, 1878) was a Louisiana politician who served in the United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and Confederate Congress. He was Secretary of War under President Millard Fillmore and, briefly, Franklin Pierce, from 1850 until 1853. Conrad also briefly acted as the United States Secretary of State following the tenure of Daniel Webster.

Biography
Charles Magill Conrad was born in Winchester, Virginia, in 1804, moved to Mississippi with his family as a boy, and later moved to Louisiana. He was educated under a Dr. Huld in New Orleans. He was appointed to the U.S. Senate in April 1842 to fill the unexpired term of Alexandre Mouton, serving to March 1843, and was defeated for reelection in his own right. He later served in the House of Representatives from 1849 to 1850, resigning to accept appointment as Secretary of War in Fillmore's cabinet. Conrad remained in charge of the War Department from August 15, 1850, to March 7, 1853. He was a leader of the secession movement in Louisiana in December 1860. During the American Civil War, under the Confederate States of America, he served as a delegate to the Provisional Constitution of the Confederate States as a member of the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States, and as a representative from Louisiana to the Confederate Congress, 1862–1864. Following the war, he resumed the practice of law. He died in New Orleans in 1878.

Radiohead discography

The English rock band Radiohead have released nine studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums, one remix album, nine video albums, seven EPs, 32 singles, and 48 music videos. Their debut album, Pablo Honey, released in February 1993, reached number 22 in the UK, receiving platinum certifications in the UK and US. Their debut single, "Creep", remains their most successful, entering the top 10 in several countries. Their second album, The Bends, released in March 1995, reached number four in the UK and is certified triple platinum.

Radiohead's third album, OK Computer, was released in May 1997. It remains their most successful album, reaching number one in the UK and Ireland and the top 10 in several other countries. It was certified triple platinum and produced the UK top-ten singles "Paranoid Android", "Karma Police" and "No Surprises". Kid A followed in October 2000, topping the charts in the UK and becoming first number-one Radiohead album on the US Billboard 200. Amnesiac was released in May 2001, topping the UK charts and producing the singles "Pyramid Song" and "Knives Out". Hail to the Thief was released in June 2003, ending Radiohead's contract with EMI. It was Radiohead's fourth consecutive UK number-one album and was certified platinum.

Radiohead released their seventh album, In Rainbows, in October 2007 as a download for which customers could set their own price; a conventional retail release followed. It sold more than three million copies in one year. "Nude" and "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" were released as singles; "Nude" was Radiohead's first top-40 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 since "Creep". Radiohead released their eighth album, The King of Limbs, in February 2011. It ended their streak of number-one albums in the UK, reaching number seven, and is the only Radiohead album not to be certified gold in the US. In April 2016, following the purchase of EMI by Universal Music, Radiohead's back catalogue transferred to XL Recordings, who had released the retail editions of In Rainbows and The King of Limbs. Radiohead released their ninth album, A Moon Shaped Pool, in May 2016, backed by the singles "Burn the Witch" and "Daydreaming".

In June 2017, Radiohead released a 20th-anniversary OK Computer reissue, OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017, including unreleased tracks, two of which were released as download singles: "I Promise" and "Man of War".

Talk:Xenharmonic music

Definition
The definition currently given is not accurate. Xenharmonic is not a synonym for microtonal. Xenharmonic tunings are tunings that do not sound like standard tuning. This is in contrast to the use of tunings like meantone and low limit just intonation, which sound like and can substitute for equal tunings in much music, without most listeners even noticing. Xj 00:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Fixed. Hyacinth 19:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

That's a very good fix to the opening sentence. Thanks.

I'd like to propose removing the 'it often includes all microtonal music' as well unless there's a source or something. Either eliminate that or change it to something like "it is sometimes mistakenly used to mean all microtonal music, a usage in contradiction to Darreg's use of the term." But I think just cutting that part out would be best unless there's something someone's thinking of in particular here. Any one have any thoughts on this?

The example of 19 tone might be a bit misleading. 19 can indeed be used xenharmonically but one of its most commonly discussed strengths is its use as a 19 length version of baroque meantone tuning, and when used in that particular way its not xenharmonic, so I'd see 19 as a bit of a weak example. Now among the ETs 13tET, 23tET and 11tET are all good examples of more fully xenharmonic tunings. Pretty much all nonoctave tunings are xenharmonic, such as Carlos' alpha, beta and gamma, and 88cET. Ah shoot, I'm just going to make the changes on this one.

Also, no one really uses the term xenharmony compared to xenharmonic. Would it be better to have xenharmony point to xenharmonic instead? Or is it because xenharmony would be a sort of a noun instead of an adjective and nouns are preferred on wikipedia? I'll note that there's an article for microtonal music and not microtone - both microtone and microtonality redirect to microtonal music. Maybe the title of this page could be Xenharmonic Music. Xj 05:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

---

Ivor Darreg coined this term largely because "microtonal" implies small intervals. It's a general term and there's no value judgement included on how foreign-sounding it has to be from common-practice music. And yes, xenharmonic is the root term, with "xenharmony" being used only occasionally. CKL

---

I have to say that the latest version of this article is poor and misleading. The information about nonoctave tuning should not have been discarded. Ivor did NOT intent xenharmonic to mean macrotonal scales. 5 and 7 are xenharmonic, but removing mention of very xenharmonic scales like 11 and 13 is a terrible decision.

Just temperament
Interesting that Justly tempered scales are considered xenharmonic. That makes them foreign, but, of course they're from the same lands as where equal temperament was born. What's more, justly tuned music doesn not even sound foreign, which is one criterion this article gives for xenharmony. It's a rare listener that can even tell mean from just. 198.49.180.40 18:45, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Need a better example than the Easely Blackwood studies
I agree that it's a good idea to have an example of a composition that "does sound like 12-tone equal temperament" as an example of a non xenharmonic microtonal piece. But I don't think Easely Blackwood's compositions are what we need here, as is clear from his notes about the tunings. He says this for instance about his 13 notes Sostenuto

""13 notes: The most alien tuning of all: so dissonant that no three-note combination sounds like a major or minor triad. Yet even this tuning contains a strange mode best described as "sub-minor.""

And even his pieces that have somewhat more familiar chords and melodies have unfamiliar changes of key that surely count as xenharmonic, e.g. his Easley Blackwood - Fanfare in 19-EDO which in its development section modulates entirely around the circle of nineteen fifths.

""This tuning contains diatonic scales in which the major second spans three chromatic degrees, and the minor second two. Triads are smooth, but the scale sounds slightly out of tune because the leading tone seems low with respect to the tonic. Diatonic behavior is virtually identical to that of 12-note tuning, but chromatic behavior is very different. For example, a perfect fourth is divisible into two equal parts, while an augmented sixth and a diminished seventh sound identical. The Erude is in a sonata form where the first theme is diatonic and the second is chromatic. The development modulates entirely around the circle of nineteen fifths. An extended coda employs both diatonic and chromatic elements.""

Also tunings that lie within Easely Blackwood's "Range of Recognizabilty" in his "The Structure of Recognizable Diatonic Tunings" still can be xenharmonic. For instance the major thirds of many of the tunings are unstable, and not suitable points to resolve to, see for instance his 16-notes Andantino

""16 notes: This tuning is best thought of as a combination of four intertwined diminished seventh chords. Since 12-note tuning can be regarded as a combination of three diminished seventh chords, it is plain that the two tunings have elements in common. The most obvious difference in the way the two tunings sound and work is that triads in 16-note tuning, although recognizable, are too discordant to serve as the final harmony in cadences. Keys can still be established by successions of altered subdominant and dominant harmonies, however, and the Etude is based mainly upon this property. The fundamental consonant harmony employed is a minor triad with an added minor seventh.""

Which makes it pretty clear that he thinks of this tuning as recognizably similar to 12 note tunings, but still xenharmonic in the sense that it "does not sound like 12-tone equal temperament". Anyone got a good suggestion to replace it? Robert Walker (talk) 10:47, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

No responses yet, will leave it for a few days. Meanwhile I had a thought, I think the Easely Blackwood pieces are well worth mentioning, but in the other direction, as examples of pieces to show that recognizably diatonic tunings can sound xenharmonic.

As for examples of non xenharmonic microtonal music, I haven't had any suggestions yet. I think it may be a tricky thing to provide, possible reasons below, collapsed.

The obvious thing would be temperings of music composed for twelve equal or earlier non twelve equal music that is now played in twelve equal. Even Chopin originally tempered, you could say is "microtonal" in the broadest sense, but obviously not xenharmonic. But it's a bit of a trivial example. And there's still the issue that a few musicians with very keen ears can tell the temperament for a piece just by listening to them. And sometimes for them the chords you get in the more extreme forms of temperings used historically, which to most of us sound just to be a mild variation on twelve tone music, can seem quite xenharmonic in their descriptions (I'm thinking especially here of a discussion I had with a piano tuner who tuned pianos to microtonal temperaments on what various tunings sounded to him - he of course would be especially attuned to small distinctions of pitch). So it is obviously also rather a subjective thing whether music sounds xenharmonic. Others can listen to the likes of the less "out there" Easely Blackwood's pieces, e.g. the fanfare in 19-et, and so long as they use familiar sounding melodies and progressions, they may not sound that xenharmonic at all, not much affected by the large leading tone or the modulation through 19 keys at the end.

Or even more extreme, most microtonalists have that experience of playing a piece that is very xenharmonic to their ears to someone else who appreciates music, but not especially familiar with microtonal music, who doesn't notice anything remarkable, it's just music for them, so long as it has a reasonable coherence and sounds musical. Just about everyone with musical appreciation notices sudden shifts of a chord or a note by a microtone, or unfamiliar forms of composition combined with microtonality (e.g. gamelan), so you do have those two extremes where just about everyone would say it is xenharonic, and at the other end of the range, just about everyone would say it "sounds like twelve equal" but in between there seems to be great deal of variety in where they draw the line.

So - none of that is for putting in the article of course, it's just to say why I think we might find it hard to come up with good examples of microtonal non xenharmonic music, in any absolute sense, though anyone individually will have pieces that work for them as examples of this.

So not sure what the answer is here, interested in any suggestions, anyone got any ideas for a microtonal piecethat just about everyone would agree are interestingly microtonally tuned yet "does sound like 12-tone equal temperament"? The best suggestion I have myself so far is the idea of a slightly tempered piece, e.g. Chopin played on the original tunings of his pianos, late Victorian type mild tempering, I think just about everyone would agree that's not xenharmonic, even those super sensitive to temperaments of twelve equal, but it might be a rather trivial seeming example.

Removing second Greek word with no citation
Removed (Greek)|Xenia, in favor of leaving xenos.

"Xenos" is the only Greek discussed in the cited archived 1974 paper (by Ivor Darreg, the originator of the term "Xenharmonic Music.")

His post that is the only citation for the section, citation 1 of the page at this time. Here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120205142523/http://sonic-arts.org/darreg/XHB2.HTM

In that paper, Ivor Darreg wrote in 1974: "The term `xenharmonic' is derived from the Greek ξένος, xenos, meaning 'strange.' The other meanings of this Greek word, such as 'foreign' and 'hospitable,' also seem appropriate enough. The models for this neologism are of course such terms as enharmonic and philharmonic.: ...

Also, the Wikipedia page for the Greek word he uses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenos_(Greek) confirms both meanings, "foreign" and "hospitable".

The part I removed was either wrong or well-meaning "Original Research" that cited nothing, and also I can't seem to find a citation for it anywhere on the Internet.

If anyone returns the other Greek word, please provide a reputable citation. That's better than no citation. Thank you.

Error in Greek typography in Ivor Darreg's original essay
In the citation for the section about Darreg coining the phrase, citation 1 of the page at this time.

Here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120205142523/http://sonic-arts.org/darreg/XHB2.HTM the Greek word for Xenos is slightly wrong, though from context we can tell what he meant.

A Greek native speaker has confirmed what was meant by context here: https://twitter.com/xipteras/status/1649689031423188992 as a reply to the question here: https://twitter.com/FreedomFeens/status/1649688041118904320

Since installed fonts of some readers of Wikipedia may not render correctly, this image: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FuTeN8EaMAEHA1Q?format=jpg&name=small on this Twitter post: https://twitter.com/FreedomFeens/status/1649688041118904320 show the two renderings.

The reply below that tweet, from Panagiotis Xipteras, says "Yes, they (supposed to) mean the same but only the first one ξένος is written correctly. It means “foreigner”. The other one has a σ at the end, which is a tiny but funny looking spelling error."

The first one is the correct way, which was copied from the Wikipedia article for the Greek word "Xenos": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenos_(Greek)

and is the same as in the Xenharmonic Music Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenharmonic_music

The second, incorrect, one is from Ivor Darreg's "Xenharmonic Bulletin No. 2 May, 1974 ~ Reprint Edition of July, 1977."

It is not known if Darreg made the error or if something was "lost in translation" of reprinting pre-Internet to Internet fonts, then re-sharing, then being archived by archive.org

But it is obvious from context, as confirmed by native Greek speaker in Greece, that Darreg meant Xenos, as written in the Xenharmonic Music Wikipedia article.

The Rite (1969 film)

The Rite (Riten) is a 1969 Swedish drama film written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. It premiered on Swedish television on 25 March 1969. Actors Thea (Ingrid Thulin), Sebastian (Anders Ek) and Hans (Gunnar Björnstrand) are sequestered in the offices of Judge Abrahamson (Erik Hell), who questions them about the play they have been performing, which has been accused of being obscene. As the judge interviews them separately and together, the three performers work through their considerable psycho-sexual baggage with each other, while collectively laying siege to the sensibilities of their authoritarian interrogator.

The film had a joint Nordic premiere on television on 25 March 1969. It was rerun on SVT2 August 1, 1973. The premiere began with a short conversation between Ingmar Bergman and TV theatre director Lars Löfgren. Bergman urged the viewers to turn off the TV and go to the movies instead. Both Swedish and Norwegian critics were mostly positive, but somewhat confused.

A judge in an unnamed country interviews three actors, together and separately, provoking them while investigating a pornographic performance for which they may face a fine. Their relationships are complicated. Sebastian, a volatile heavy drinker in debt, is guilty of killing his former partner and is having an affair with Thea, the dead man's widow. Thea, a high-strung woman who is prone to fits and seemingly fragile, is currently married to Sebastian's new partner, Hans. Hans is the troupe's leader. He is wealthy, self-contained, and growing weary of the troupe. The judge plays on the trio's insecurities, but they may have their revenge when they finally perform The Rite in a private session with him.

Cognatic kinship

Cognatic kinship is a mode of descent calculated from an ancestor counted through any combination of male and female links, or a system of bilateral kinship where relations are traced through both a father and mother. Such relatives may be known as cognates.

A category for each year seems kind of pointless.

Why not just provide all article links on the Entry page for the year?

e.g. All entries on this pages could be links off of 1663; no need for "Category".

Acle railway station

Acle railway station is on the Wherry Lines in the east of England, serving the town of Acle, Norfolk. It is 10 mi down the line from Norwich on the route to Great Yarmouth. Its three-letter station code is ACL.

History
Opened by the Great Eastern Railway in 1883, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway following the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways upon nationalisation in 1948.

When sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Regional Railways until the privatisation of British Railways.

Today, the station is managed by Greater Anglia, which operates all passenger services between Norwich and Great Yarmouth with Class 755 Stadler FLIRT electro-diesel multiple units.

Until 2019, trains were formed by diesel multiple units of Classes 153, 156 or 170. During the summer months, some locomotive-hauled trains, top-and-tailed with a Class 37 at either end, would work certain services on the Wherry Lines.

The station has the only passing loop on the Acle branch of the line. A coaling depot was once located here.

Services
The typical off-peak service at Acle is as follows:

Someone mind explaining how to play past 10 billion years in the SNES version? I sped it up in an emulator and it just went back to the menu.

Species
Does anyone have a species(not the classes, but the species inside the classes) list? I have the game, but I want to know the name of what I'm evolving! Is there a way to see that in-game or in an off-game resource? --Andrelvis 16:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Reply: Species
I think the Dictionary (SNES version) or the Help file (Windows version) has that stuff. I have both, and I find the SNES version to be far more extensive (with better graphics in my opinion) than the PC/Windows one.Stovetopcookies 05:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

How about this?

 * This doesn't really need a list of every phylum, since it pretty much lists all the major ones. So, I'm going to remove that stuff and fix up the "trichordate" section.  Though what is a trichordate?  By Googling it, it seems exclusive to SimEarth?  Also, I removed a sentence that definitely looked like original research ("A small number of mysterious fossils seem to exhibit trilateral symmetry...").  You should to cite a reliable source for that piece of analytic information if you wish to re-add it.  Wickethewok 16:53, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

New Version
Any idea if Maxis intends to make a new version to take advantage of better technology? Maybe a little more user friendly?

Yeah. It's called spore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.29.161.21 (talk) 04:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

 * No it's not spore.98.165.16.149 (talk) 03:27, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Dolphins are not fish
This article says that Cetaceans are fish. They are not. Cetaceans are the order of whales, dolphins, and porpoises.

public domain?
was this ever released as "free software"? 68.47.130.92 (talk) 16:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

System requirements
The system requirements in the right-side box currently say "Windows 3.1" - which is patently incorrect. The game was released in 1990 for MS-DOS, Win3.1 came out in 1992. 91.33.253.144 (talk) 08:05, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Copy protection
The article states that this is the first of the Sim.* games to feature copy protection where you had to look something up. I distinctly remember SimCity having that red sheet of paper with city populations that you had to type in to play. Is there some distinction I am forgetting? The article says "in game" copy protection. Did SimEarth have you enter it in in the middle of playing, as opposed to at the beginning only? That seems vaguely possible, but it has been a really long time since I played this game. 76.19.132.58 (talk) 04:44, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

 * It's right: The PC version of SimCity had this red paper sheet you mentioned. So I removed the wrong part. -- 79.239.15.220 (talk) 10:29, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Taxa
1) Fish is not a taxon, its a grade. While the game may refer to fish as a unit, it should not be called a taxon.  If Osteichthyes is what is actually meant, it should say so. 2) Birds, as a taxon, should be called Aves. 3) How is Aves more well known than Cetacea? I would think a whale is a familiar animal to most people.
