G-java
It just seems like advertising to me. (Although the product doesn't even exist.) Additionally, it's linked to from the Programming_languages list article, which it definitely isn't! Quiffhanger
 * Delete. Inconclusive Google results, as a file "G.java" comes up as well. An obscure fan project to convert GMDs into Java. Not noteworthy, *possibly* advertising... Master Thief Garrett 00:36, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * NOTE: the product does actually exist, just supposedly isn't released yet. Even so, still not notable. Still in beta form, and, considering the track record of past GM-centered projects, will probably never be finished. I can't give a link to the page I just found, it's spamblocked for some reason.

Many reasons. Original research plus complete lack of citations. Plus Wikipedia is not a soapbox and this definitely falls into that catagory, i.e. advocacy of a new idea. Very unencyclopedic. Sounds like a position paper to me. No place for it here. --Woohookitty 23:34, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Vanman2010 What if I got permission to publish the information? Which I do I was trying to support the webpage. This is not the right median. Its a copy vio issue use that page not here. --Cool Cat My Talk 01:59, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete, now found to be copyvio, all of the reasons above, not noteworthy. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, which some of this proposal sounds like. Master Thief Garrett 23:51, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, nor a place for crackpot theories (unless they happen to be rather popular crackpot theories). If the images will become orphans, they can be listed at WP:IFD as such and will be deleted, probably without any objections. android↔talk 00:07, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. If the article looks like it's going bye bye, I will post the images to IFD. Thanks for the heads up, Android79. --Woohookitty 00:19, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * But isn't it better to have the sysop/admin delete the page and the images in one fell swoop, rather than having a separate report for the images??? Master Thief Garrett 00:21, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but articles with images that would become orphans after deletion of the article aren't really all that common on VfD. Might as well used the established process for image deletion. android↔talk 00:41, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Added copyvio notice and replaced the Vfd header with my customised one which clarifies the rules conflicts. Crazy, I only just customised that header yesterday and it's already come in handy again... Master Thief Garrett 01:25, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It may still be considered original research, but it would be better if you have permission. Note that the original VfD did not mention any copyright violation, but other concerns. (also, sign your comments at the end instead of the beginning with four tildes: ~ ) - Stoph 04:12, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Vote reserved pending copyright status If permission to use the content is given, I would like to this article improved with other sources. The person heading this has a well organized effort. I would certainly not view the ideology as 'crackpot'. One need only look at Gran Colombia to see a similar idea that worked in the past. I would like to know however what happens if the copyright situation gets cleared up? Will that even matter in the time frame that is now left? - Diskadia 06:42, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Actually, the fact that the idea has worked in the past doesn't mean it's not crackpot. It's still a proposal...it's still an attempt to look into a crystal ball...both are against Wikipedia policy. So even if its not a copyvio, it should still go bye bye. Several reasons for this to go...not just copyvio. --Woohookitty 07:34, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Fair enough delete it then. Apparantly this was published before but some people deleted it so no point doing it twice.Vanman2010
 * Delete. The copyright status does not look like it will be resolved. - Diskadia 01:31, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not? I mean, can't an admin just email the originator for their approval/confirmation?? Master Thief Garrett 03:16, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Again, this is not a do or die issue. Even if it isn't a copyvio, it's a proposal trying to look into the crystal ball and Wikipedia doesn't want that. So it doesn't really matter people. :) --Woohookitty 04:51, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It's well on its way to deletion, nearing its fifth day on VfD, without a single keep vote. Listing it at CP would mean it would take longer to get deleted – in my experience, it's taken much longer than five days for anything I've listed on CP to get taken care of. android↔talk 02:22, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Continuum (role-playing game)

Continuum: Roleplaying in the Yet (stylized as ) is a science fiction role-playing game about time travel created by Chris Adams, Dave Fooden and Barbara Manui and published by Aetherco/Dreamcatcher. The Continuum also refers to a collective group of time travelers as a whole and the society they inhabit in the game.

Setting
Unlike other time travel games (and fiction), which usually depict time travelers as either lone explorers or as an all-powerful "time police", Continuum assumes that time travelers (spanners) would eventually evolve their own society, with its own laws, rules, slang, groups, art movements, and the like. Time travel would color such a civilization in the same way that any other major technology (such as television or the automobile) has changed the human race. Continuum states that the core question of the game is "If you could learn to span time at will . . . what form of civilization would you be entering?"

The Continuum, the main spanner civilization, extends through the whole of human history (and beyond, although the post-Human society of the enigmatic "Inheritors" borders on both sides). A primary focus of this civilization is to increase the knowledge and acceptance of time travel by the human race, so that when time travel is discovered and announced (approx. 2222 AD), humans will be ready for it, and moving into the next step in their evolution (becoming Inheritors). Another focus of the Continuum is the complete documentation of history.

The Continuum civilization also has "time criminals", called "Narcissists", so called because they seek to remake history in their own image. (In the late 1990s the publisher announced they would be releasing a version of the Continuum book with the background material retold from the Narcissist standpoint. Nearly two decades later, it has not been released, but a pre-release edition circulated in 1999 and 2000. )  The Continuum has members trained to "repair" damage caused to the course of history by the Narcissists.

The game's solution to the issue of time travel paradox is the concept of frag. The universe does not tolerate paradox caused by time travelers, nor are parallel worlds created by paradox. Instead the universe begins to "erase" those for whom the paradox exists. (The frag concept appears to be based partly on the ideas in Alfred Bester's "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed".) Too much association with paradoxes (too much frag) and time travelers become something not quite real anymore. Frag can also be generated on purpose, a tactic in "time combat". The Continuum society is partially built upon the repair of paradoxes that affect its members.

To explain frag by example, using the Grandfather paradox, a Narcissist might decide to travel back in time and kill his grandfather. If he "succeeded", he would return to his own time to find his grandfather alive. (The Continuum would step in to "repair" the murder.) The Narcissist would then begin to fade out of existence due to the conflict between his own memories and "actual" history. He has been "fragged".

The game also has immersion techniques to bring players "into the game". Most of the book claims to be, and is written as, an anachronistic artifact of spanner culture, aimed at increasing public awareness of time travel to further the Continuum's ends, and to prepare for the public announcement of time-travel. For example, players are required to quote the Maxims of the Continuum before advancing to the next level, and track their time travel, in exactly the manner their characters in the game do. Artwork in the books is also credited to spanners and often depicts the particular aspects of spanner culture.

Sourcebooks

 * The main rulebook required for play.
 * A resource book detailing various civilizations lost to "mainstream" history, but well known to spanners.
 * A third book, titled Nªrcissist: Crash Free, was announced in the late 1990s. It has not yet been released, but the v0.5 and v0.7 playtest drafts of the work are available online. However, one of Continuum's writers has stated that the playtest is considerably different from the "current", as yet unpublished version of the rules.

Talk:PULHHEEMS

New article from scratch, my first. Adapted from an article I wrote for Everything2 almost a year ago; at that time I worked for the Ministry of Defence, and thus I have been careful to only use public sources. The 'mental' and 'stability' measurements have been given only a skimpy treatment. It's possible that the system was used in Canada before it was used in Britain, in which case the article will have to be mildly rewritten, starting with "PULHHEEMS is a system... devised in Canada, and used by the armed forces of..." and so forth. -Ashley Pomeroy 23:35, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There are very few Google links for 'PULHHEEMS'; there are more for 'PULHEEMS' and 'PULHEMS'. There aren't even very many for PULHES, the American system. I believe that, although the topic is esoteric and obscure, it is nonetheless notable (especially for servicepeople). -Ashley Pomeroy 23:43, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The system is spelled PULHHEEMS, with two H's, two E's, and a capital S. It does not stand for 'Pulse, Urine, Lungs, Etc'. -Ashley Pomeroy 23:43, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus on an old vote started in April. FCYTravis 23:05, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Bart McQueary
Delete- Bart McQueary is all hype; an expert self promoter who's turned the non-issue that is his crusade into a newstory through irrelevant inflammation. His biggest accomplishment to date is being a part of a larger lawsuit by the ACLU against a Ten Commandments monument; but that's not even his claim to fame. His claim to fame is that he's a hanger-on to Fred Phelps; if McQueary gets a page here, then all 200-some-odd other members of Westboro, who participate in the exact same activity, also need entries.

 * This nomination was made by 70.241.25.240, who has made no edits not related to this nomination. Dsmdgold 19:38, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Keep.

I see nothing wrong with someone adding entries for Margie Phelps, Shirley Phelps-Roper, Benjamin Phelps, Carl Hockenbarger, or anyone else associated with Fred Phelps for that matter.

Your reasoning seems to be that because he is a shameless self promoter that he is not deserving of an article discussing his rather interesting life.

Your argument does not hold water. 68.217.162.167 05:31, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- KEEP - Your reasoning for wanting the article deleted almost seems like some sort of personal hatred. There is no telling how far this guy is going to go and his life deserves to be documented in this tome of knowledge that is Wikipedia. If for no other reasons than what you have mentioned - he is what he is. For that matter, most of Hollywood is comprised of attention seekers. Not to mention Washington DC.
 * This user has made no edits not related to this nomination. Dsmdgold 19:38, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Ok then.

If for no other reasons than what you have mentioned - he is what he is).

By the way, what makes you think I hate McQueary?

 * Delete not notable, possible vanity Dsmdgold 19:38, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

DELETE

This man hasn't made any sort of "mark" on the world, nor is it likely he ever will. The reasons given to keep it are wrong for this very reason. If there is a page on this nobody, there should be a page on every other nobody that's out there.65.71.125.180 04:50, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong KEEP I personally do not like him nor Fred Phelps, nor their "religious organization", however thats not why we keep or delete articles on an encyclopedia. He is an important figure head for the "movement" and represents a portion of our society, which he is very notable for. We have to record good and bad topics, otherwise we are destined to repeat the same mistakes.   <> Who ? ¿ ?  22:59, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong DELETE He's disappeared off the face of the Earth now, and what he did while he was around was nothing to write home about, except try to (unsucessfully) emulate Fred Phelps; and it's in serious debate whether or not he event meant what he said and did. If McQueary comes back out of whatever hole he disappeared into, and does something noteworthy, ACTUALLY NOTEWORTHY, then I wil be the first to put his article back on Wiki. Until then, he's just another wannabe; does every wannabe get a page? No one outside of Harrodsburg knows who this man is, and plenty of self-gratification articles have been deleted from Wiki before. What makes Bart so special? Mistergrind 23:44, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment whether or not a figure is still alive, or even around, is not an issue of noteworthiness. Even the people we cannot tolerate, are noteworthy to the thousands of people they influence, however, intolerance alone is yet, not an issue of encyclopedic value.  <> Who ? ¿ ?  01:14, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Deleyte of course McQueary's "existance" as it were has no bearing on his status; Wiki is full of information on dead people. What matters, though, is that his barely noteworthy actions have apparently ceased. It may have been an excuse to keep the page going as long as he was still active, therefore prolonging the possibility that he may do something noteworthy, but now he's gone from the public eye, gone, it would seem, altogether, and he took with him any present hope of being a valid entry into Wiki. He has not affected "thousands" of people; it would be a long stretch to say that more than a few hundred people have ever been affected by him in any way, shape, or form. If McQueary is allowed to stay in Wiki, then entries must be made for every garage band that has performed at venues and has a webpage, for every independant filmmaker that has had their work shown at any festival, for every writer trying to submit their manuscript, for every person who has quarreled with the government or filed a lawsuit.70.243.35.89 22:45, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * For the sake of keeping with format, John Wilkes Booth is both dead, and his actions have definately ceased, but that one noteworthy action is very encyclopedic. Again, to one, a persons actions may not be noteworthy due to intolerance, that does not say it is not to another. Personally, NOT a supporter.  <> Who ? ¿ ?  04:58, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment What is your obsession with changing my words around and trying to paint me as someone who wants McQueary deleted for intolerance? I have never stated that. One of my pride and joys on Wiki is the work I've done on the Fred Phelps page (another page you have made repeated attempts to sabotage). But the difference between a man who changed the course of history my murdering the leader of a country, and Bart McQueary, IS THAT HE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING NOTEWORTHY AT ALL. There are people in every city in the USA standing on street corners with signs like McQueary's, preaching the same things as McQueary. Phelps belongs in the article because of his noteriety; he's been on CNN, worked with/for Al Gore, possibly was involved in a girl's death, has been the topic of a nationally read book, and, despite your fervent denial of it, leads a cult. McQueary is none of those things; he's a street-corner prophet. If McQueary is allowed to stay in, then I must insist that you restore another article of mine that you were instrumental in getting deleted, about a local band in Tulsa. They have the exact same level of noteriety as McQueary, and in the realm of music, have accomplished just as much as McQueary has in the realm of religion. Again, I say, if McQueary is allowed to stay in Wiki, then entries must be made for every garage band that has performed at venues and has a webpage, for every independant filmmaker that has had their work shown at any festival, for every writer trying to submit their manuscript, for every person who has quarreled with the government or filed a lawsuit.70.243.35.89 19:36, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Again, I don't feel this is the place for this type of conversation, however, you do not have a talk page, per say. I have no obsession with you nor this article. I do not mean to twist, contort, or demean your comments or vote. It "seemed" your comments were of a more personal nature, and I just wanted to stress the fact that we cannot delete articles we have personal feelings against, nor keep the ones we are in agreement with. With the little research I did on the topic of the article, it was easy to find many supporters and readers of this person. Whether or not there are "hundreds" or "thousands", it seemed he had quite a few followers and readers, with or without reguard to Fred Phelps. I fealt that the person was notable enough, for inclusion, on that basis alone.   As far as your band, which I do not recall, or other garage bands. It is common not to include such bands, as they are very many, and notability seems to go hand-in-hand with recording status and the ability to cite references, other than blogs. I am no expert, I just do research to attempt to establish such, I am only one voice on Wiki.  Please do not take my comments on article bias as a personal attack or reprimand, as I did not intend it that way.   <> Who ? ¿ ?  19:51, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

DELETE

Seriously, who knows who this guy is other than the alleged terrified people of that redneck town he's plaguing? Seriously, who? (Unsigned comment)

Delete

Upon further review of the page, as well as the wikipedia deletion criteria, it is obvious that this page should be deleted- as it contains serious bias, and passive aggressive attitudes.

Weak Delete In terms that this guy is just sort of an interesting figure, and there are lots of people on wikipedia who are just so of strange tangenial figures without much real purpose or accomplishment. But he is just a cultist, and not every two bit nut gets his own webpage unless he makes it himself or herself.

Kananga

Kananga, formerly known as Luluabourg or Luluaburg, is the capital city of the Kasai-Central Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and was the capital of the former Kasaï-Occidental Province. It is the fourth most populous urban area in the country, with an estimated population of 1,524,000 in 2021.

The city lies near the Lulua River, a tributary of the Kasai River and the Ilebo-Lubumbashi railway. An important commercial and administrative centre, it is home to a museum and to Kananga Airport.

History
German explorer Hermann Wissmann established a station in the area around present-day Kananga, on the left bank of the Lulua. Wissmann named the station Malandji, a name suggested by his 400 carriers, who were from the city of Malanje in Angola. Later on, with the construction of the railway on the other bank of the river, the station was moved, and the Lulua train station gave its name to the new town, namely Luluabourg. The old location is named Malandji-Makulu (old Malandji) to this day.

At the Belgo-Congolese Round Table Conference, in 1960, the name given to the negotiations for the independence of the then-Belgian Congo, a decision was taken that the new state would move the location of its capital from Kinshasa to Luluabourg, due to the latter's central location. However, due to multiple political setbacks, and particularly the secession attempt by Albert Kalonji and his South Kasai, this decision was never implemented. When the central government reconquered South Kasai in 1962, Luluabourg became the capital of the new Kasai-Occidental province. Kananga (as Luluabourg) was the site of the drafting of the first Congolese-written constitution for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in 1964.

In 1966, during an Africanization campaign, Mobutu Sese Seko renamed a number of cities and towns that bore European names. Leopoldville became Kinshasa, and Luluabourg became Kananga. The name Kananga derives from the Tshiluba word kanangayi meaning "a place for peace or love" as what is now central Kananga was a gathering place for pre-colonial chiefs to discuss treaties and to settle disputes.

Under the 2006 constitution, the Democratic republic of the Congo was divided in 25 provinces, and one national Capital city (Kinshasa). The Kasai-Occidental was divided into two provinces. Kananga became the capital of the Lulua Province.

Locally, Kananga is known as Kananga-Malandji, or even Kananga-Malandji wa Nshinga. Nshinga, or cables, stands for the large high-voltage cables of the Inga-Shaba project, that cross the skies of Kananga, and that link Kolwezi and the Lualaba Province to the Inga Dam in Bas-Congo.

The city came into headlines within the Orthodox community in 2018, especially in Greece, when a documentary film called "Kananga" was produced, talking about the minority Orthodox Christian population in the city, and the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, which is the largest Eastern Orthodox church in Africa.

Climate
Kananga has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw), fairly typical of the western Democratic Republic of Congo, with a dry season entered upon June and July and a lengthy though not intense wet season from September to May.

Rail accidents

 * 1 August 2007 – A railway accident 100 miles west of Kananga town, caused by a brake failure, resulted in 100 fatalities.

 * 29 November 2005 – People riding on roofs swept off by low beam of bridge.

Udo Kasemets

Udo Kasemets (November 16, 1919 – January 19, 2014) was a Canadian composer of orchestral, chamber, vocal, piano and electroacoustic works. He was one of the first composers to adopt the methods of John Cage, and was also a conductor, lecturer, pianist, organist, teacher and writer.

Kasemets was born in Tallinn, Estonia, and trained at the Tallinn Conservatory and the Akademie der Musik in Stuttgart. In 1950, he attended the Kranichstein Institut für neue Musik in Darmstadt, where he became familiar with the music and philosophies of Ernst Krenek, Hermann Scherchen and Edgard Varèse. He emigrated to Canada in 1951, and became a Canadian citizen in 1957.

From the 1950s, Kasemets was active in Hamilton, Ontario and Toronto, Ontario in Canada. He taught at the Royal Hamilton College of Music and served as conductor of the Hamilton Conservatory Chorus, until 1957. He was music critic for the Toronto Daily Star 1959–63 and taught at the Brodie School of Music and Modern Dance 1963–67.

In 1962–63, he organized Toronto's first new music series Men, Minds and Music, and established the Isaacs Gallery Mixed Media Concerts. In 1968, he directed the first Toronto Festival of Arts and Technology entitled SightSoundSystems and founded and edited a new music publication series, Canavangard. In 1971, Kasemets joined the Faculty of the Department of Experimental Art at the Ontario College of Art, where he taught until retiring in 1987.

Kasemets' significant influences include Erik Satie, Marcel Duchamp, James Joyce, John Cage, James Tenney, Morton Feldman, Merce Cunningham, Buckminster Fuller, and Stephen Hawking. Other strong influences especially evident in his later work include the Chinese I Ching and fractal music.

Kasemets lived in Toronto, Ontario.

Selected works

 * Requiem Renga, for the victims of wars and violence in our time (1992) for fifteen strings and two percussionists, based on the Japanese renga chain poetry form.
 * Palestrina on Devil's Staircase, with Dis(Con)sonant Contrapuntal Connections (1993) for three violins, three cellos, and two sopranos, music based on the eponymous fractal and also commemorating the 400th anniversary of Palestrina's death in 1994.
 * The Eight Houses of the I-Ching (1993) for twelve strings

Inherent problems with Wikipedia
i cant find where to talk about this. that is one problem. there should be a designated place for people to criticize wikipedia. even Zhou Enlai encouraged people to criticize the communist party. where is that spirit at wikipedia?

second of all, i want to talk about the inherent bias of wikipedia. you can find all sorts of articles on things relevant to upper middle class white computer geeks, like pac man, richard stallman, trolls, message boards that have maybe 30,000 users, etc, and frequently these things make front page articles.

however, take something like 'suspended solid waste', or janitor, or landfills, or anything related to manual labor, and your articles are hardly touched.

the inherent bias of wikipedia no matter how hard it tries to be NPOV, is that it is made of the users that it is made of. IE, people who have access to computers and the internet. Thus, the inherent bias of wikipedia, the things it leaves out, the things it describes in detail, the things it doesnt describe, what exactly is considered 'neutral', is merely the conglomeration of the things decided by its users, which necessarily, by the life experience and personal knowledge of the users, makes it largely jilted towards the aforementioned groups, those with computers and internet access, ie, those with money.

billions of people do not have access to the internet or computers. another billion, in China, have access but it is tightly controlled through a massive state run bureau of censorship.

thus, although wikipedia NPOV is a great experiment, and provides freedoms never before allowed, and has many successes, it still has inherent problems that are manifest even in its most infant stages.

 * Have a look at Why_Wikipedia_is_not_so_great, which is linked in the introduction. You might also want to learn proper capitalizaton so that people take you a bit more seriously. -FunnyMan 03:51, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

Why do you consider the "bias" of wikipedia an inherent "problem?" Your comment makes a great deal of assumptions- most notably, you assume that a goal of wikipedia is the creation of unbiased representations. That may be a goal of yours, even a goal of many, but is not necessarally a goal of all users/stakeholders of wikipedia. Again, why do you consider this a "problem?" Just wondering.

Criticism
See consumerium for User:142's criticisms.

---

I'm, sorry but this link is completely weird to me. I clicked 'criticisms' expecting to find people discussing criticism of wikipedia, instead i get this obscure 'consumerium' stuff that is poorly written, and i am totally lost, and i dont know what is going on. What the heck is a consumerium and what does it have to do with wikipedia?

---

There's a strong Marxist POV to many of the historical and political articles. If you read all the artcile on the October Revolution, The Russian Civil War, Lenin, Trotsky, and other related articles without already knowing what happened you'd get the impression that the bolsheviks came to power peaceablly and then created an ideal state until that wicked Stalin messed it up, and that the only reason anyone died is because a few disgruntled parties unfairly opposed the bolshevik take over, and that under Lenin everyone was free to do and say whatever they wanted.

The bias creeps into a lot of other articles as well. Nearly half of the article on imperialism is devoted to describing how Lenin used the term even though his definition was merely a politcal tool that had nothing to do with how the term is actually used.

And many of the fairly written articles have talk pages filled with Marxists complaining about how the article is biased because it doesn't contain enough Marxist propoganda.

Wikipedia links
Why do all the links to Wikipedia bring me to an edit box instead of the article?

 * Ooh, that's odd. Ah, a quick trivial edit saved the day; now what on Earth is it that triggers that bug, I wonder... - IMSoP 01:45, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Free content: all or much?
I see Anthony DiPierro changed "Wikipedia text is free content..." to "Much of Wikipedia is free content...", but I can't think of any bits that aren't - which were you thinking of, Anthony? - IMSoP 13:18, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * He's thinking of fair use images and perhaps some images licenced under agreements other than the GFDL. I imagine to satisfy all editors we will have to eventually write a long-winded version - "Wikipedia text is free content. However some images used are not free ... ". This is the sad but true way with all controversial articles. Pcb21| Pete 20:22, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * I made a change to that section a couple days ago that I think managed to reconcile the two sides. It's been cleaned up a bit since, but the spirit of the change is still there.  Have a look and see what you think.  -FunnyMan 16:31, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)

Links outside the main namespace
I was about to snip an internal link to an article outside the main namespace on the Wiki article when it occurred to me that the only authority I have for this is the HTML comment at the top of this article's wikitext.

Is there a policy page somewhere that explains, suggests or stipulates this?

chocolateboy 23:52, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * The spirit of Avoid self-references is the same as that intended by that comment, but I am not aware of specific policy page that records the policy, though it has been in use for some time. Pcb21| Pete 00:12, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Aha! Thanks, Pete.

 * chocolateboy 00:22, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * It's so that articles may be mirrored and used elsewhere more easily, I think. Our mirrors take the main article namespace, but don't take the other namespaces. That's why links that might normally be in other wikimedia namespaces are formatted as external links - David Gerard 00:26, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks, David. Makes sense. And it gives me something less obscure than "see HTML comment in wikitext" to put in my edit summary :-)

Who is the copyright holder of Wikipedia articles
To my understanding, even if work is copyrighted under GNU General Documentation Licence, it has to have some copyright holder. Who is the copyright holder in the case of Wikipedia articles? Do the contributors still retain their copyright even though there's no copyright notice on their article in Wikipedia? And if Alice has published her work under GNU General Documentation Licence, and I put her text inside a Wikipedia article, can a unique holder of the copyright over the article be identified?

In general, I don't understand what happens with the copyright when two GNU GDL works with different copyright holders get tangled in a way which makes a separation impossible. --Daniel Polansky

 * They are joint owners of the one copyright in the article. You may or may not be able to take it down to line-by-line - you can in computer programs, text is a bit more difficult - David Gerard 18:31, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * When a work is so authored that the contributions of the authors cannot be separated then all the authors collectively own the copyright. So, if a Wikipedia article is authored by one person, then that one person is the copyright holder. However if an article is authored by half a dozen people, the half a dozen people are the copyright holders.

 * That said things get a little more complicated when it comes to what level of contribution is an original work, ie one that qualifies for copyright protection under international conventions? I somewhat suspect that correcting spellings and capitalisations does not qualify as original work and thus does not qualify the person who does it as a copyright holder if the work. Exactly what level of originality is required for copyright protection cannot be found without trawling through the case law of individual countries. David Newton 18:35, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Admins
Admins are an important piece of the site and should be addressed. Users DON'T have the same privileges as admins, so it should be known that Admins have more power. Simple fact. -- Anonymous commentator

Admins are just trusted users -- trusted by other users to do things which are not easily reversible. Admins were a temporary expedient until the software was changed to make them unnecessary. Unfortunately they seem to have become a bit more permanent than was originally intended. Not so simple fact. -- Derek Ross | Talk 05:22, 2004 Sep 17 (UTC)

How to pronounce Wikipedia?
Is it "wee-kee-PEE-dee-uh" /wiki"pidi@/ or "wih-kee-PEE-dee-uh" /wIki"pidi@/ or other? Should the pronunciation be added to the article?--Sonjaaa 05:59, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)

 * It depends how wiki is pronounced, but from Talk:Wiki, it seems there is no agreement on it. :) Angela. 17:28, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)

 * In fact the pronunciation will vary according to the accent of the speaker using the word so it is no wonder that there is no agreement. After all we can't agree on the pronunciation of a well-established word like "marry", so what hope is there for a neologism like "wikipedia" (and why should it matter anyway). -- Derek Ross |  Talk 05:31, 2004 Sep 17 (UTC)

Just curious, how would you prononounce the similar word "tiki"?

 * tee-kee. On that note, I believe the correct Hawaiian pronunciation of wiki is wee-kee.

How it started
Just a curiosity, how wikipedia started? what was the first article about? Was it original or a copy from some public domain article?

 * The article you're looking for is History of Wikipedia (linked from the Wikipedia article already), but as for what the first article was, I don't remember where I read it, but I seem to recall that it had something to do with women's tennis. Try asking the Reference desk; that's where you'll find our most renowned trivia hunters.  --Ardonik.talk 21:46, Sep 18, 2004 (UTC)
 * Aha. See the last external link in History of Wikipedia.  The answer to your question may be found there.  --Ardonik.talk 21:51, Sep 18, 2004 (UTC)

"It has also been argued..."
I'm removing the text I copied below as it represents something that a small number of people have been raising over the last couple of days (even though I agree with the points they are raising)and then with a personal POV about possible results added to it:

 * It has also been argued that contributors have an ethical responsibility to seek out and express views that are under-represented on the Internet, but are nonetheless widely held in the real world. This challenge is particularly significant with regard to central issues like religion, ethics, or politics. A political shift in those articles tends to create a shift in many other articles, which over time can alter what contributors see as neutrality itself.

Thanks, BCorr | Брайен 16:05, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Regarding Wales and Sanger
I have edited the "personnel" section to reduce Sanger's prominence. There are two reasons for this.

 * 1) Sanger has not been with the project for a considerable time.
 * 2) Fact is, though his role was important, Sanger wasn't a co-founder.

Here's some rationale on point #2:

 * Let's consider what it really means to be a founder. A founder is someone who is the first to provide three things to a venture in return for a stake:
 * Decisionmaking
 * Resources, such as money, equipment, space, or work without pay
 * Responsibility for the debts and legal obligations of the new venture.
 * While Sanger provided decisionmaking, he did not provide resources, did not have responsibility for Wikipedia's debts and legal obligations, and did not receive a stake. Wales, however, meets all four tests.  While Wales' decisionmaking was largely delegated to Sanger he was indeed active particularly at the very beginning, and ultimately made the decision to remove Sanger from the project.

 * Now let's look at how it got to be this way. Until very recently (when Sanger's claim of being a co-founder created some practical problems) Wales has not tried to define his and Sanger's roles in public.  Sanger, on the other hand, has been fairly active in tooting his own horn.  I quote herewith from the current version of his resume:

 * ''"Editor-in-chief, Nupedia.com; Organizer and co-founder, Wikipedia.org; Feb. 2000-Feb. 2002

 * ''Designed and managed virtually every aspect of two volunteer, from-the-ground-up, free online encyclopedia projects. Duties: selected subject editors; organized reviewers, writers, copyeditors, programmers, and translators; organized article editing systems; led advisory board discussions about editorial policy; drafted policy guidelines; set up and moderated project mailing lists; many public relations duties; managed and worked with an administrative assistant and an assigned programmer; and much else.  Employed by Bomis, Inc., a small Internet firm.

 * ''During my time developing these projects, they were positively reviewed in The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, MIT's Technology Review, PC World, The Industry Standard, Wired News, and in many other articles. Wikipedia has gone on to become the largest free encyclopedia online, and, according to Alexa.com, among the most-visited of all online encyclopedias."

 * Basically, Sanger himself is the source of the claim that he is the "organizer and co-founder" of Wikipedia. There is no independent verificaiton for this claim.

 * A review of historically important pages in en.wikipedia.org and at meta.wikipedia.org, as well as the mailing list, reveals that Jimbo was always clearly in charge. There are several key areas where he overruled Sanger, particularly with regard to allowing anyone to edit any article, a policy Sanger opposed.  This historical record demonstrates that Wales and Sanger were not peers, as they would have had to be to be "co-founders."

Congo civil war and Bias
Now the congo civil war has become a collaboration of the week, maybe it should be taken out of the bias part. Any suggestions for other seriously underequipped articles?

 * I think it makes a good example even if it has become collaboration of the week; if the coverage here was going to be changed, perhaps it should be extended rather than eliminated. But even more interestingly, I wonder if the bias spoken of in this section isn't partially due to the fact that media coverage of e.g. pop groups far outstrips media coverage of e.g. genocide on foreign soil, somewhat less to the biases of the individual authors?  Kind of a subtle point, but I suppose I'm trying to say that Wikipedia presumably reflects the biases of the culture within which it is produced, not just the biases of its authors.  Get me?

Criticisms
I read this article for the first time now, after half a year of editing Wikipedia, and found it rather lacking in NPOV. I therefore added a Criticisms section, and added "criticisms" to the section heading: "reviews, endorsements, and discussions of Wikipedia". — David Remahl 05:50, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

How does one disable hijacking of alt-e (etc)
As the subject says, I'm looking for a way to disable hijacking of alt-e and other alt combos. I use that sort of thing all the time to open up menus. I didn't see it in preferences, but I might have just missed it.

Sorry for posting this here btw, I wasn't sure where else it'd go. Feel free to move it if you'd like.

Need for commas in numbers
On the main page it reads something like there are 404567 pages being written. To make it easier to assimulate such info all numbers of over 3 figures should have commas added. So 404567 becomes 404,567. I see there are similar "mistakes" on the statistics page but could not see how to edit it, so I hope this is read by someone who will clarify the convention for writing numbers. Tolkny November 25 2004

I disagree with this statement. A comma is not recommended as a number separator. I quote from the NIST guide to SI units section 10.5.2]

 * Because the comma is widely used as the decimal marker outside the United States, it should not be used to separate digits into groups of three. Instead, digits should be separated into groups of three, counting from the decimal marker towards the left and right, by the use of a thin, fixed space. However, this practice is not usually followed for numbers having only four digits on either side of the decimal marker except when uniformity in a table is desired.

Donar Reiskoffer 13:33, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

REPLY, Ok, fair enough, spaces are acceptable to me, Tolkny November 25 2004

Positive things about WP
We have a "Criticisms" section on this page, and that's a good thing to have since there are a lot of ways in which WP can be improved. However, keeping the spirit of presenting both sides, shouldn't we add a "Positive Things About Wikipedia" type section?

I'm open to discuss this, and would like to hear others' opinions before I would go ahead and write one. EventHorizon 19:30, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Problems with EventHorizon's addition
I consider EventHoriozon's addition a rant in that it presents opinions without attribution. Specifically:

 * ''The general consensus of the Internet community is that Wikipedia is an excellent source of information, but that, as a forum and community itself, it is lacking, drowning in incivility and petty squabbles.

What is "the Internet community"? All Internet users? ISOC? Bloggers?

 * While the process seems democratic regarding matters of deletion, the observed reality is that some users have vastly more influence than others, often for no reason other than having been a contributer for longer.

Seems to whom? Who are the observers of this reality?

 * These inequalities of influence are especially noticed around sysops. While most are well-intentioned and use their privileges for the betterment of Wikipedia, there are documented cases of them abusing them to "bully" other users.

Especially noticed by whom?

 * For this reason, Wikipedia is occasionally described as "the Stanford prison experiment of the Internet."

No reference given.

 * On Urbandictionary.com ...

Finally attribution! I almost think this should be kept. However, are entries urbandictionary.com significant? Do they carry more weight than, say, arbitrary blog comments? Up for discussion.

 * A more abstract criticism of Wikipedia is that its goal of neutrality is unattainable, especially in an open-source environment.

 * Finally, some opponents of Wikipedia have argued that, by containing a large number of internally linked pages, it receives high rankings from Google. This alone would not be cause for concern-- Wikipedia does recieve heavy traffic-- but it also results in high rankings for the often identical Wikipedia mirrors.

Juke Joint Jezebel

"Juke Joint Jezebel" is a song by industrial rock group KMFDM from their 1995 album Nihil. It is KMFDM's most widely known song to date, with around three million copies of the song sold across various releases.

Background and composition
The music for the song was written primarily by KMFDM frontman Sascha Konietzko, who asked returning band member Raymond Watts to write the lyrics for "Juke Joint Jezebel" as well as a few other tracks from Nihil. Also credited as authors are En Esch and Günter Schulz. When mixing the song, Konietzko thought it sounded too "awful" to be included on Nihil, but TVT Records, to whom KMFDM were signed at the time, wanted to put it on the album, certain it would become a hit.

In KMFDM's profile for Trouser Press, Neil Strauss highlights Watts' lyrics and looped guitar riffs and electro-funk beats as the song's main features. In a 2013 book Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music, musician and scholar S. Alexander Reed called the song "iconic", citing it as an example of industrial music's "use of gestures from traditional African-derived musics...", and notes "a massive gospel choir" of backup singers in the chorus. In addition to this, the "sleazy and exuberant" chorus features a harmonic use of the Mixolydian mode, which seems to "set the song apart from industrial conventions," with lyrics describing pleasure from self-destruction, "tapping into shallow perceptions of religious fervor and lasciviousness."

Release
"Juke Joint Jezebel" single was initially released on 28 February 1995. After the release of Nihil, a second version of the single was released with additional remixes by Italian record producer Giorgio Moroder. The Canadian release of Juke Joint Jezebel: The Giorgio Moroder Mixes includes a bonus CD titled The Year of the Pig Collection, which features one track each from KMFDM's previous six studio albums, as well "Fuck Me" from Sin Sex & Salvation. "Juke Joint Jezebel" was also released on a 12" entitled Year of the Pig. The single did not enter the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, but peaked at number 27 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

The song was accompanied by two music videos, both directed by Eric Zimmerman. The first, set to the single edit of album version and featured later on Beat by Beat by Beat compilation, combines the live footage with the animations from the Patlabor 1 anime. The other video, set to Moroder's "Metropolis" remix, was released to promote the 1995 Mortal Kombat film and uses footage from the film. MTV was reluctant to air the video, objecting to the footage featuring violence.

The original version of the song is used in the 1995 film Bad Boys, while the "Metropolis" remix mentioned above appears on the 1995 Mortal Kombat soundtrack. Both soundtracks eventually went platinum. The album version of the song can also be heard in the "Home Is Where the Tart Is" episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.

The original single version was re-released as a 7" in 2009. On 25 October 2010 "Juke Joint Jezebel" was made available as a downloadable song for the Rock Band Network.

Critical reception
"Juke Joint Jezebel" has received significant critical acclaim. Heidi MacDonald of CMJ New Music Monthly called the song "nearly flawless". Andy Hinds of AllMusic, mentioning the song in the main album's review, called it "an enduring and indispensable dancefloor favorite at goth/industrial clubs around the world." Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune said it "swaggers like a Bourbon Street hooker, with crunching guitars and a swooping, gospelish chorus". "Juke Joint Jezebel" was listed at No. 23 on COMA Music Magazine's "101 Greatest Industrial Songs of All Time" feature in 2012. The track was also featured on Alternative Press' list of "10 Industrial-Rock Classics That Completely Defined the ’90s."

Holding a negative opinion of the song since mixing it, Konietzko admitted in 2016 he still did not like the song, which was retired from the band's concert setlist in 2003. It was pointedly left off the band's greatest hits album Rocks — Milestones Reloaded, along with other songs such as "Vogue" because the group felt such songs were not part of their ideal setlist. Even so, he was pleased that the song had become successful enough that it continued to sell: "It pays the rent, to this day."

Fernanda Ribeiro

Maria Fernanda Moreira Ribeiro, GCIH (born 23 June 1969), is a long-distance runner born in Penafiel, Portugal. The pinnacle of her career was at the 1996 Summer Olympics when she won the women's 10000 m gold medal, establishing a new Olympic record of 31:01.63. Her victory gave Portugal its third Olympic gold medal.

Biography
Ribeiro started running with Grupo Desportivo do Kolossal, before joining FC Porto, which she represented from 1982-1992. She returned to FC Porto after two years at Maratona Clube da Maia. Along with her sports career, she has worked at her town hall as a sports adviser to the mayor.

She holds Portugal's record for most Olympic medals. She has the record for most athletic medals won in Portugal, having participated in five summer Olympics (Seoul 1988, Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, and Athens 2004) and many more European and World Championships.

Ribeiro has continued running in her later years and won third place at the 2010 Lisbon Half Marathon, when she was 40 years old. She helped the Portuguese women's team win the title at the European Cup 10000 m in June 2010, rounding out the country's top runners with a seventh-place finish.

Atlanta Olympic 10000 m gold medal, 1996
On 2 August 1996 Ribeiro ran in the finals of the Olympic women's 10000 m run. At the beginning of the last lap, Ribeiro was close behind the Chinese athlete Wang Junxia, world record holder and 5000 m Olympic champion. On the backstretch, Wang opened up as much as a 10-metre gap. In the last 200 meters accelerated, Ribeiro passed her opponent on the inside just as she entered the final straightaway. Wang had no answer.

At the end of the race, Fernanda said:
 * I had promised to fight until my very limits, I only missed finishing on my knees. From the third kilometer I started feeling pain on the Achilles' tendon, managed to withstand, suffered, but I, for the dream of becoming Olympic champion, was ready to run until... death knocked me over! I just got a bit scared when I saw Wang, isolating 400 m to the finish line. But that instant I wasn't defeated yet... it was when I remembered my promise to go to Fatima on foot.

In November 1996, she made a pilgrimage to Fátima as promised to thank Our Lady of Fátima for her incredible victory.

Mosquito Pass

Mosquito Pass, with an elevation of 13185 ft, is a high mountain pass in the Mosquito Range of central Colorado in the United States. It lies on the boundary between Lake and Park counties between Leadville (west) and Fairplay (east). It also lies on the divide between the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers, which is the informal demarcation between the northern and southern parts of Colorado, east of the Continental Divide.

One of the highest passes in the state, Mosquito Pass can be traversed only on foot, on an offroad motorcycle or with a proper four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle. 2WD vehicles will find the road difficult due to the stream crossings and high rocky sections. Even with 4WD, it is typically passable only during the summer months.
