103rd Congress
Sure. There'll have to be a lot of notes of party switches, besides Shelby and Campbell, there were also Deal of GA and Tauzin of LA and probably others I can't think of right now.

I'll work on compiling those.

Mass Media
Thanks. Any press releases in Asia? I feel as though we're all waiting for something... maybe a letup in the slowdown, or smoothing out of recent quirks. If that's not the case, there are some outlets I should be contacting... +sj +

Eh ! I agree with Sj on this. Anyway, thanks for your thanks :-) I'll try to listen the best I can, and hope my ears will be big enough :-) ~I started to make a draft on m:User:Anthere. Feel free to complete, comment, ask questions, suggest, request... I take it you did not really have time to do your trip, no ? Were holidays good ? SweetLittleFluffyThing

Thanks for your compliments, Fuzheado. Imran and I have sent the results to all of the candidates. We want them to know the results first and to approve that their results be published. Most have already indicated their approval, but we are still waiting for one or two more. At that time, the complete results will be made public. We do not have a breakdown by language, as some people have requested. Danny 02:09, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your support
Hi there! Just a short note to let you know that your vote in my favour (along with your kind words of support) in last week's sysop election meant a lot to me. I think Wikipedia is a great project, and I feel honoured to be able to play a small part in it. Again, thank you so much for your vote of faith in me. David Cannon 09:59, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Andrew
Andrew I need to get an email to whoever runs this site. Jimmy Wales right? Well, I wrote an email to that email address that is listed in the "contact" section. Don't think it works. Can you help me get in touch with whoever runs this site.

 * Yes, it's Jimmy Wales. However, I need to know who you are before I can send a request! Send me email using the "E-mail this user" link to the left. Fuzheado | Talk 08:19, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Crabs
I'm trying to figure out what your goal is with this whole crab thing. The article on blue crabs need not —indeed, should not— be a geography lesson. Anyone who wants to know where the Chesapeake is can click the link and find out. There is already ample mention of Maryland's pride in its crabs (I live in Baltimore, I should know how important the crab is around here!), and inserting the information right after "Cheasapeake Bay" disturbed the flow of that sentence. (See, that's the wonder of hyperlinking: you can make extra information available without actually inserting it into the text. ;) )

 * I still disagree that so much geography is necessary -- yes, wiki users are global, but they are also smart enough to know to click the link if they want more information!
 * Regardless, I undid some of the minor grammar/style changes made recently, with explanations in the discussion page. We need to start discussing there rather than beating the article back and forth. --tooki 06:57, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- It was very rude of you to revert my additions to the Liberal Backlash article. As coiner of the term, Molly Ivins comments on the issue are relevant. Lirath Q. Pynnor

If you don't want me to take it "personally", that have the respect and common decency to talk to me...before going and deleting my contributions (without even bothering to inform me that you deleted them <--- how rude is that?) Have you read the editorial in which Ivins coined that term; I doubt it, because that quote is from the editorial. In fact, by deleting my contributions...you have deleted the page's only link to the editorial in which she refers to the "Great Liberal Backlash". Lirath Q. Pynnor

Hello Fuzheado there was a small article in the Bangkok Post database section of wednesday 28th of july. I already added it to the wikipedia newscoverage. You life in Hong Kong right? I sometimes go there to visit my parents in Disco bay. I life in Bangkok myself, but am Dutch, not Thai. If you ever get to BKK give me a shout! We are trying to arrange a BKKmeeting somewhere in November. Waerth 19:35, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Journal/periodical/feed summaries
Hi Fuz, are there journals you read regularly? You might be interested in this project: Wikisummaries. I think I will begin somewhere on en:, perhaps in my user space... +sj + 23:57, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

After the discussion on Rfa, I read on your user page that you're a researcher of participatory journalism. This article published by Poynter Online may interest you "Wikipedia for Journalists," if you haven't seen it already. 172 07:10, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Oh, well in that case, great work! I really enjoyed reading the article. 172 07:19, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

A sneaking suspicion that you are following me

 * I am quite fond of the revision you have made to the opening sentence of the Baptist War. My own were less grammatically inteligable. To my defence, massive revision w still in the planning. If I choose to continue to expand it, it seems likely that I would be in favour of retaining your revision.

 * As you might have gathered, I am not pleased, with the manner in which you conducted yourself at the Kahan Commission article whereby you had unilaterally imposed your view on an item which was clearly not yet resolved. I am also displeased with very similar changes you have made to the Peel Commission as these entail a virtually identical issue.

I have yet to read the additional changes you have recently made to the other articles I authored. I could only hope for (the best) much of the former bulletin and none of the latter. I am all for dialogue, but I would request you refrain from a 'we, the wikipedia gods' overtones, as this too easily risks turning into monolgues. I urge you to have patience, it is likely we could reach a consensus. I must confess, as it stands, -this- is souring me of off wikipedia. El_C

Reason
My reason for adding the NPOV message:

You removed it without due process.

Re:Asian Cup 2004
sorry for this late reply. I was in socal/vegas for a week and was internet deprived the entire time...but now i'm back. I head over to the article once i finish going over a 7 days worth of watchlist stuff (including various other disputes with Nanshu). Oh joy! --Jiang 11:46, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

My head hurts
Hi there, I was trying to list this article when I ran into an edit conflict, which turned out to be you listing it seconds ahead of me. I have added my comments now. Cheers ping 08:31, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Adminship
Hi, Fuzheado: Thanks for supporting my nomination as admin. And I'm frankly relieved to know that I can "hold the powers in reserve": I don't want to become a "power admin" (is that the right term?) if I can avoid it.... --Sewing 01:02, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, Fuzzheado. That's a mistake we can all make easily:-) David Cannon 11:32, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Fuzheado: Thanks again for your support. I am now officially an admin. Though it seems as if some people don't think that admins should be allowed to simply "hold their powers in reserve," so I will try to actively participate in admin-type duties.... Yours, 山道子 (Sewing) - talk 13:52, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I just meant I don't want to start blocking users or protecting pages.... -Sewing - talk 13:40, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Image tag
You uploaded Image:Monkey batu.jpg back in January. Mind sticking one of the copyright license tags on it? -- Cyrius|✎ 04:24, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Ditto for Image:Xiamen china.jpg. I wasn't sure if you'd taken the image yourself or not, so it's for now. Please switch it to  or whichever licence you uploaded it under if appropriate. Thanks. Angela. 16:02, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)

Image
Hello Fuzheado, I copied the image: Image:Phnom penh palace.jpg to the Dutch wiki, but now they have asked questions about the license? Is it your own work? Waerth 09:00, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Your source
What sources did you use to determine the quote in the MSNBC article was inaccurate. Please explain your methodology.

MSNBC
Fuzheado, here you go. What does not getting a hit in Google mean? A great deal of info is not in Google.

 * Check the Fortune magazine article from Jul 8, 1996, p.120. You'll find my recent post about Bill Gates, Ted Turner there.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58117-2004Sep3.html
 * The Rush Limbaugh commment was posted in a Washington Post article last week. Mr. Limbuagh dating Ms. Kagan was confirmed by Mr. Limbuaghs spokesperson.

 * Since your're likely to edit this one, the quote from Ted Turner from the Fox News entry appeared on p.56, Broadcasting & Cable. New York: Dec 4, 1995. Vol. 125, Iss. 49.

Maestro Fresh Wes
Yo...noticed you deleted a page of that title. Just wanted to let you know I revived it as a redirect to Maestro (rapper) (Maestro Fresh Wes is the name he used to use), mainly to avoid the possibility of it being recreated again. Bearcat 06:57, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Edits
You asked me to cite my sources. I did this and it's not good enough. How do you verify material that is not on the web?

I don't have time today to find cites for every post. I provided cites for several items yesterday and I don't see any of the items placed back into the wikipedia. Also, if all you use to verify citations is the web, I feel sorry for all of the info not on the web. What other sources do you use?

Quality
Um, it was a long time ago... It's on the Meta thing somewhere, but I don't remember where. Adam 07:53, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Unblocking my IP
Thanks for unblocking me. I really wish there was a way to change my IP address but my ISP pretty much says my only option is to buy a new modem or a Mac. Cheers! 23skidoo 23:02, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thai wikipedians' notice board
As you sometimes also edit about Thai topics, maybe that notice board is of interest for you as well. Another thing: do you know which of the temples you took the photo Image:Ayutthaya-old.jpg. I'm not fully sure, it looks like Wat Chaiwatthanaram. andy 21:03, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Re:Antics
Thankfully the guy doesn't frequent this site that often. I think I've given up trying to reason with him. Just revert a couple hours after he shows up and he's gone again... --Jiang 04:34, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Project
Your JMSC0101 students got noticed by User:Niteowlneils over at the Pump, probably because the username scheme sticks out. He seems to be a bit worried about another Dartmouth situation, although he also notes they're behaving themselves and not writing about frivolous topics like drinking games (although their grammar and formatting are a bit off). -- Cyrius|✎ 03:09, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

National Radio Interview
Hi, just writing to say I enjoyed your interview on New Zealand National radio last weekend. I've added to the Wikipedia on TV and Radio page. You're a great spokesman for Wikipedia. Happy editing. Lisiate 21:06, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Ontario census rv
Thanks for cleaning up after 198.96.80.16's Ontario census figure changes. I saw it as I was headed to bed last night and was going to clean it up today, but now I don't have to! — mendel ☎ 14:32, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)

Image copyright tag
Hi, I was asked to add image copyright tag to Image:Frontmap.gif which I uploaded during the new media course in fall 2003. I mentioned your permission in the image page; I hope it's alright. P.S. Thank you for introduing the Wikipedia to us which I think is really meaningful and interesting. Wish you every success in your teaching and research. -- Jim/Gakmo 07:00, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Image:Fudan university.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Fudan university.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much,   – Quadell (talk) (help)   18:38, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to... using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. So far over 90% of people who have responded have done this.
 * 1) ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
 * 2) ...all articles...

 * Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff.  So we use their licenses too.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the   template (or    for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace   with   . If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know at my talk page what you think. It's important to know, even if you choose to do anything so I don't keep asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) 14:25, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Image info
Please add copyright and other info to Image:Monterey_ca.jpg. See my recently added pix to the Monterey, California article for an example. Thanks, Leonard G. 23:21, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

RFC pages on VfD
Should RFC pages be placed on VfD to be deleted? I'm considering removing Requests for comment/Slrubenstein, Requests for comment/Jwrosenzweig and Requests for comment/John Kenney from WP:VFD. Each of them was listed by CheeseDreams. Your comments on whether I should do this would be appreciated. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:40, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Tucson, Arizona
The talk pages or other sources indicate you have in the past participated in discussions regarding whether to put a Native American name translation in the introductory sentence of articles on Arizona cities. We are currently having a vote on this issue at Talk:Tucson, Arizona. Please come by and weigh in. Thanks. --Gary D 00:41, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

Unverified images
Hi. You uploaded Image:Jack-russell.mov but did not list any source and/or copyright information on the image description page. Please mark it either as GFDL or public domain.

Hi. I saw that you voted on the RFC regarding Tucson, Arizona, and I thought you might be interested in commenting on a broader application of the formatting to other city articles. The discussion (for now) is at Talk: Tucson, Arizona (It might get moved to WikiProject Cities, if there's interest in doing so.) Thanks! kmccoy (talk) 02:01, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Intelligent Design dispute
Thank you for commenting on that. I'm not quite sure how this is best handled, but because of the layers of reversion, the main dispute was invisible to you. The user charging "bad faith fraud" added the following to the top of the article: "The claims of the Intelligent design movement are regarded as pseudoscience by the vast majority of practicing biologists, and the scientific community asserts that ID has been repeatedly debunked. It's supporters are following a strategy known as the "wedge agenda" which is designed to produce the appearance of science, in order to convince school boards to force feed students a series of blatant lies in the name of teaching the controversy. The intelligent design movement is backed by the Christian Right and is connected with the Creationist movement.

ID supporters are completely unreasonable, and are fellow travellers with anti-science causes which are intent on disproving naturalism and uniformitarianism."

He also expanded the 5 bullet-point summary of anti-ID arguments to about 25 bullet-points, and has expressed outrage that the other editors found that to be an unreasonably long summary. (Of course, somebody weighed in to lengthen the pro-ID arguments in response, rendering the article absurdly unreadable.) Many of the editorial changes by others since he showed up have been immediately reverted by him, with no attempt at justification or negotiation on the talk page.

Please help! --BTfromLA 07:12, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Current events
Hi hello, would you (and perhaps your students as well) be interested to contribute to Current events in Hong Kong and Macao? best, — Instantnood 11:06, Jan 27 2005 (UTC)

HK
Fuzheado (how to pronounce by the way), would you mind help explaining to this guy who's made some reversions on airline destinations articles, List of metro systems and List of official languages by country? I guess he's strongly believed that Hong Kong and Macao are just ordinary provinces or autonomous regions, or with the same status, of the People's Republic of China. - Privacy 18:39, Jan 28 2005 (UTC)

To take advantage of the opportunity for collaboration, I'm looking for more people who might be interested. Do you have any suggestions? Maurreen 17:52, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Malformed VfDs
Hi, you just left a couple of malformed VfD entries on this page. I'll take a whack at fixing them unless you'd like to. Android79 03:49, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)

not MIT school cheer
here is the first proof that it is not simply an MIT cheer... http://userpages.umbc.edu/~dni1/humor/lists/mathsci/math14.shtml

the rest of the info appears to not be available on the web, but its a well known piece of cmu lore the archives here at cmu show it going bach to at least the mid 60's as the official cheer of CIT... soon after that, many other colleges adopted versions of this cheer, e.g. MIT

none of them, however, have made it an official cheer in its full state, it does however appear as "part" of the mit crew launching call. this is not by any means the "school cheer" as the artical states, however it is the official cheer of the CIT school at cmu.

the one given lists wpi rit and other schools with unofficial cheers that are copies, google the text of the cheer i put in the article and your first hit will be kiltie band, the cmu marching band, who list it as "Ye olde CIT chant" you will also find several other sources relating it as the same... also, no MIT pages list the other cheer as the official "school cheer" only two even reference it, and one of them is as part of the crew launch call

however, memorizing nine is not memorizing pi, thats like saying memorizing all the vowels aids you in remembering the sequence of words that makes up tolstoy's war and peace. it is rediculous. piphilology pertains to aiding the memorization of pi, usually as a mnemonic... any other form is valid, but the CIT/MIT crew/WPI/RPI cheer is not a pertinent example, as it does not aid in the understanding of the common usage of the term. said common usage does not include that cheer, or the memorizing of the memorizing of the first six digits, as most people can recite them from memory... the average human can easily store 7 digits in stort term memory, and transfer it to long term memory without repetition, that's why phone numbers in area are 7 digits therefore there is no need for a method to learn the first six digits of pi.

vendetta against accurate information
look, im very proud that you can lookup my isp... big wooh, i mentioned "here at CMU" earlier, so its not really a suprise. I am currently an undergrad at cmu, my best friend and girlfriend both go to MIT. I got accepted at both but chose CMU for the Scholarship they offered me. I attended MIT Splash every year of my highschool career. it should be obvious by now that i have no grudge against MIT. i do have a grudge against your quick offhanded remark about CMU, as I know many people who did grad or undergrad work at MIT and now work/attend CMU... the supposed emnity against MIT at CMU is nonsence, many of our professors graduated from MIT. now that doesn't change the fact that when i searched i got more hits from the CIT version of the cheer than the MIT version... (making the most common comment invalid) and that i know the facts of the history, and that it is not a valid example of piphilology anyhow. there is no reason to argue for the sake of arguing, lets simply remove the worthless pertion of text and go on with our lives.

back at you
its not vandalizing, its simply adding a fastive message... i did not harm the page by adding the words happy pi day, i enhanced the readers experience... this would have been vandalism if i did not say i would remove it at midnight, because, until then, it was relevent information... therefore your revert was technically incorrectly removing relevant data... as you also edited the same page more than three times, you could be susceptible to the same ban, as more than three of your edits (infact if you read the earlier portion, this applies to all your edits) were not revertions of "simple vandalism"... now you have an account... that's comething you can't change when blocked... i have simply an ip, i can change that at will... so don't make pointless threats...

my overall point is because i stated that i would remove the information when it became irrelevant, i was not vandalizing, and you shouldn't "inform" people of violations you also committed.

i think you have missed the fact that their concurrence does not alter the fact that your later posts were not removing vandalism, and you went over the thre edits limit... ergo you lose... of course i am the same person... does it suprise you that i can change my ip?? i simply did not want a second ban from foolish killjoys... i can continue to change my ip within the confines of the range available to any cmu student, so to block me, an admin would need to block cmu... something i do not think they would do... anyway, you are extremely condescending and immature for someone who is "researching" wikipedia... did you need some easy grant money or something... since when does the researcher actively alter his experiment because he doesn't like a trait of it... your "research" seems very loosely defined...

btw, before starting another edit war over a simple unnecessary fact (where your opinion is unverified, i may add) you should heed the chinese proverb about adding legs to the snake.

in any event, this is most likely my last message to you, i have a life outside of computers, and no longer wish to entertain myself with the antics of posters who remove valid data (both the cmu post and the pi-day bit) to pander to their oversized ego's and overrated intelligence.

WP:3RR
I reverted your changes. "If discussion is not showing progress, then and only then should the three revert rule be invoked and a user ban occur." is a signifact change in the enforcement of the policy, and will require some discussion first. Also, users are not banned, they are blocked... a big difference. -- Netoholic @ 08:03, 2005 Mar 16 (UTC)

User:HappyApple
Sigh. Complex reverts. Jayjg (talk) 02:07, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I have to talk in defence of my friend:
 * The problem between HappyApple and this page can be traced since the creation of the article itself. HappyApple is the user that started the article.
 * Suddenly, another user appears and erased most of his contributions, most of the time without even disscuss them. We manage to made him disscuss on the talk page, but User:Viajero waved war against HappyApple and started all this revert war, since the explanations that HappyApple used for his modifications were "not good enought" for Viajero.
 * User:Viajero is a narow-minded person that have  threatening HappyApple in several articles, not only the one that you protected. In several other Talk pages, Viajero has shown a complete lack of respect towards HappyApple, in some occations threatening him with ban him or blocked him (wich you can see on HappyApple's Talk page).
 * User:Viajero has not proved to be a very reliable person, since most of the time (as you can see if you look at some peruvian-related articles) attacks to almost anyone who doesn't share his POV. Right now he is also involved in another controversy in the Alberto Fujimori talk page.
 * It is not fair for HappyApple to be railroaded by other experimented user. However, I also acknoledge that he has some mistakes (like the name of his University, its efforts to anglicanise them) and I'm working to evade those.

Please feel free to leave a comment in my talk page. I hope that all this can be solved in a very diplomatic way. Messhermit 02:29, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Never trust the popular media
...to report on the law accurately. The true "official name" is too long to have as the article title, because it includes all the parties involved. LEXIS reports the proper short name as MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd.. Westlaw doesn't even abbreviate "MGM", but reports it as "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd." I always prefer LEXIS, though Westlaw may be correct on that point, but at any rate the case name must include the "Inc. and "Ltd." That is the proper citation format according to the Bluebook, and that is how future cases will cite to the decision.  Please refix all the redirects that I had corrected.  Thank you.

Please stop deleting Our Chat. It's blanked with that message and protected for a reason -- so people don't keep recreating it. This has been done in many other situations. CryptoDerk 03:40, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, no problem. Thanks.  Cheers. CryptoDerk 03:45, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm just following what I've seen done by other admins in other situations. There was a special template that was placed on about 14 articles that were constantly recreated by spambots, but I'm not aware of a template that is generally used for permanent protection because of recreation.

Matrixism vandal
FYI, I've added the two pages to Most vandalized pages. Fuzheado | Talk 06:16, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I also posted both pages at Requests for protection, since I don't think we can ban the entire 66.x.x.x and 69.x.x.x IP ranges (the vandal responsible is a dynamic IP, as you know). Maybe if we protect the articles the vandal will read the talk page and try to make a case for himself instead of constantly reverting. Or maybe he'll stop, get a life, and stop advertising made-up religions on Wikipedia. Philwelch 06:21, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

He was born Lars Petersson in either 1529 or 1530 in the province of Östergötland, from which his name Gothus was derived as a means of distinguishing him from his predecessor, Laurentius Petri Nericius.

Nericius recommended Gothus' appointment as court chaplain to King Erik XIV in 1560. When Erik's successor, John III, was crowned, John preferred Gothus to Nericius because Gothus was more in agreement with the king's own view on Lutheranism. They advocated a middle way between Catholicism and Lutheranism in Sweden, unlike Nericius, who was more inclined to Luther's teachings.

He was consecrated bishop on 14 July 1575 by Jacob Johannis of Skara and co-consecrated by Paulus Juusten of Turku, in a ceremony with Catholic elements, including a Mitre and typical Catholic rituals.

In the 1570s, the Jesuits were allowed to spread their messages. As a reaction, Gothus wrote several texts against papism and liturgy. At times his writing showed his support of liturgy yet he still supported Luther's ideas..

Nintendo Tumbler Puzzle

The Nintendo Tumbler Puzzle, also known as the Ten Billion Barrel in English and originally tenbirion (テンビリオン) in Japanese, is a mathematical and mechanical puzzle. It is one of many mechanical toys invented by Gunpei Yokoi at Nintendo. It was released in 1980 under. The patent expired in March 1995 due to non-payment of a maintenance fee.

Overview
The puzzle consists of a cylinder of transparent plastic divided into six levels, within a black plastic frame. The frame consists of upper and lower discs that are joined through the middle of the cylinder.

The top and bottom levels of the cylinder form a single piece, but between them are two rotatable pieces each two levels high. Each of the four central levels is divided into five chambers each containing a colored ball. The top and bottom levels have only three chambers, containing either three balls or three parts of the frame depending on the relative position of frame and cylinder.

The balls in three of the five resulting columns of chambers can be moved up or down one level by raising or lowering the frame relative to the transparent cylinder.

The object is to sort the balls, so that each of the five columns contains balls of a single color.

Cameos
As a tribute to the late creator of the puzzle and former Metroid series producer, Gunpei Yokoi, the puzzle has a small cameo appearance in Metroid Prime for the GameCube. A large-scale version appears in the Phazon Mines in which Samus Aran uses the Morph Ball to interact with it by rotating the levels and climbing the side of it with magnetic rails.

The puzzle appears in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, as one of the prizes from Redd during the fireworks displays throughout August.

It is an easter egg in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D.

In WarioWare Gold, it appears as one of the microgames, requiring the matching of 4 of its marbles.

Elliott Knob

Elliott Knob is one of the highest mountains in the northern portions of the U.S. state of Virginia. At 4463 ft, the peak is located on the ridge known as Great North Mountain. A subpeak known simply as "Hogback" (4447 ft) is located 0.5 mi to the southwest. A small, naturally growing stand of red spruce trees is on the summit, and the upper slopes also have yellow birch and sugar maple, indicating that the altitude is just high enough to support tree species normally found hundreds of miles to the north. Otherwise oak and hickory trees are the most common types found on the mountain. The mountain is entirely within George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.

The area around the mountain is inhabited by a wide array of fauna including black bears, white-tailed deer and the elusive bobcat.

A primitive jeep trail ascends the mountain from the east but it is also closed to public vehicles. The jeep trail is used by the Forest Service to gain access to a (closed) fire lookout on the summit and is very steep, rising over 2000 ft in less than 2.5 mi. Just 4 mi to the south of the mountain lies the town of Augusta Springs, Virginia, which is 2800 ft below the summit. The only access for the public is on foot and along with the jeep trail, several other trails can be used to ascend to the top, each averaging 5 mi in length and climbing up to 2400 ft from the trailheads. A small grassy cove is on the top and there is a spring 0.4 mi below the summit which flows year round as well as a small man-made pond not far from the spring.

Right beside the base of the fire tower there is a National Geodetic Survey triangulation station disk. The entire firetower structure is enclosed within a fence with barbed wire at the top. However, there is evidence of people gaining entry in the form of holes under the fence and loose sections where the fence can be pulled up high enough for a person to crawl under, since the ground is only covered with grass in that area of the summit.

Recreation
Elliott Knob is a popular day hike of 14 mi for Boy Scouts who attend Camp Shenandoah. The route for the Grindstone 100 Miler ultramarathon includes the summit of Elliot Knob.

examples
It seems to me that the second through fourth examples are poor ones.

"The homeless tell us it’s hard to find housing. Thus it must be."

This is a poor basis for asserting a certainty, but it seems that its argument could be called an "Argument from Experience" (if such exists). Even as such it is flawed, as the homeless are not the only group with experience, but it does not seem to be crediting them with authority due to poverty - only due to experience.

"The monks have forsworn all material possessions. They must have achieved enlightenment."

In a Buddhist definition, enlightenment involves detachment from worldly desires. (Also, again the observation does not lead to certainty.) Within a Buddhist paradigm it seems that it is simply attributing an observation to a state which contains a defining element that seems to possibly have causal relationship to the thing observed.

"All you need to know about the civil war in that country is that the rebels live in mud huts, while the general who sends troops against them sits in a luxurious, air-conditioned office."

Is this Argumentum ad Lazarum, or is it Argumentum ad Crumenam? It seems to advise no further examination, which is perhaps unreasonable in itself, but it could spin either way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Druthulhu (talk • contribs) 21:38, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Vasile Milea

Vasile Milea (1 January 1927 – 22 December 1989) was a Romanian politician and military general who was Nicolae Ceaușescu's Minister of Defence during the Romanian Revolution of 1989 and was involved in the reprisal phase of the Revolution that caused the deaths of 162 people.

Milea committed suicide. However, several members of his family claimed that he was killed on the orders of Ceaușescu. Milea was already in severe disfavour for sending troops to quell the uprising in Timișoara without ammunition. Whatever the case, Milea's death caused the rank-and-file soldiers to go over almost en masse to the revolution, effectively ending the Communist rule in Romania.

A report from 2005 after a full investigation including a post-mortem concluded that Milea killed himself using the weapon of one of his attendants. It was suggested that he only tried to incapacitate himself in order to be relieved from office, but the bullet hit an artery and he died soon afterwards.

A boulevard in Sector 6 of Bucharest used to be named after him until 2021. A street in Ploiești is still named after him, as well as a central square in Pitești.

Hans Jæger

Hans Henrik Jæger (2 September 1854, Drammen, Norway – 8 February 1910, Oslo) was a Norwegian writer, philosopher and anarchist political activist who was part of the Oslo (then Kristiania)-based bohemian group known as the Kristiania Bohemians. In 1886 he was prosecuted for his book Fra Kristiania-bohêmen, then convicted and sentenced to 60 days' imprisonment and a fine of NOK80 for infringement of modesty and public morals, and for blasphemy. He also lost his position as a stenographer at the Parliament of Norway. Jæger was defended in court by barrister Ludvig Meyer. He and other bohemians tried to live by the nine commandments he had formulated in Fra Kristiania-bohêmen.

The following year he was forced to flee Norway. He had been sentenced to 150 more days in prison after the Norwegian government learned that he had sent 300 copies of Fra Kristiania-bohêmen to Sweden under the pretense that it was a volume of Christmas stories.

He was a friend of Edvard Munch and was the subject of one of Munch's paintings, swiftly painted in the rented room of one of Munch's friends.

Hans Jæger maintained that sexuality should be unrestricted in relationships, arguing that the traditional values of marriage and social class encroached on personal freedom and fulfillment. Jæger asserted that the institution of marriage should be abolished and that there should be "full sexual freedom between the sexes in the same social class."

Inspector Ghote

Inspector Ganesh Ghote (pronounced GO-tay) is a fictional police officer who is the main character in H. R. F. Keating's detective novels. Ghote is an inspector in the police force of Bombay (a.k.a. Mumbai), India.

Overview
Ghote first appeared in the novel The Perfect Murder (1964), in which his investigation of the apparent murder of the Parsi, Mr Perfect, was assisted informally by the Swedish UNESCO analyst Axel Svensson. The novel, which Keating wrote without ever having been to India, won a Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger Award and was adapted into a film in 1988 by Merchant Ivory.

H. R. F. Keating intended Ghote's final appearance to be in the novel Breaking and Entering (2000), in which he was reunited with Axel Svensson as he investigated a series of cat burglaries that ultimately enabled him to solve the high-profile murder that was occupying the rest of his colleagues. Since that time, however, Keating has written Inspector Ghote's First Case (2008) and A Small Case For Inspector Ghote? (2009).

Ghote's father appears in the novel The Murder of the Maharajah (1980). Ghote is married; his wife, Protima, is a beautiful, spirited, and argumentative, though loving, Bengali. They have a son, Ved, invariably referred to in the earlier novels as "little Ved". In most novels, Ghote finds that he has to spend almost as much time fighting the Indian criminal justice system bureaucracy as he does in fighting criminals. He also tends to get little respect from the often rich and powerful people he must investigate in connection with his work, though in the end he typically wins the day through sheer doggedness. In these characteristics, he has been compared to the American fictional detective Columbo.

Adaptations
The noted actor Naseeruddin Shah played the role of Ghote in The Perfect Murder. Ghote also appeared in a BBC adaptation of Inspector Ghote Hunts the Peacock, played by Zia Mohyeddin. The same novel was again adapted by the BBC this time as a radio drama starring Sam Dastor.

In May 2020, Endemol Shine India was announced to adapt the novels for Television.

Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station (Запорізька атомна електростанція) in southeastern Ukraine is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe and among the 10 largest in the world. It has been under Russian control since 2022. It was built by the Soviet Union near the city of Enerhodar, on the southern shore of the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnieper river. It is operated by Energoatom, who operate Ukraine's other three nuclear power stations.

The plant has six VVER-1000 pressurized light water nuclear reactors (PWR), each fuelled with $235$U (LEU) and generating 950 MWe, for a total power output of 5,700 MWe. The first five were successively brought online between 1985 and 1989, and the sixth was added in 1995. In 2020, the plant generated nearly half of the country's electricity derived from nuclear power, and more than a fifth of total electricity generated in Ukraine. The Zaporizhzhia thermal power station is nearby.

On 4 March 2022, days into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces seized both the nuclear and thermal power stations. the Russian company Rosatom claimed control over the plant. Since its capture, the plant does not generate power and is mostly shut down.

Facilities
The spent nuclear fuel is stored in cooling pools inside the reactor containments for up to five years. It is then transferred to an on-site dry cask storage facility that was commissioned in 2004. The reactors and spent fuel pools depend on water from the Kakhovka Reservoir for cooling. The reservoir is created by the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam, which is a main conflict location of the two war participants.

The electricity generated is supplied to the Ukrainian grid through four 750 kV overhead transmission lines and one 330 kV line. One of the 750 kV lines runs northwards across the Kakhovka Reservoir and on to the Dniprovska substation just south of Vilnohirsk in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The other three 750 kV lines run south from the plant. One diverges from the others near the village of Zapovitne and runs to the Kakhovska substation just west of Nova Kakhovka. This is the newest of the lines and was commissioned in 2021. Two lines continue south-southeast, diverging at the urban-type settlement of Mykhailivka. One continues southeast to the Pivdennodonbaska mines in Donetsk Oblast, while the other continues east and then north to the Zaporizka substation north of Znackove in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The 330 kV line runs to the neighbouring Zaporizhzhia thermal power station.

In 2017, modernization work was completed on reactor unit 3, enabling a 10-year life extension to 2027. In 2021, modernization work was completed on unit 5, enabling a 10-year life extension.

1984 electrical fire
On 27 January 1984, a major fire started during commissioning of unit 1, before any nuclear fuel was in the reactor. An electrical relay caused PVC insulation to catch fire, molten PVC causing more fires below in a vertical shaft. More than 4,000 control units, 41 motors, and 700 km of cables were damaged.

2014 unrest and safety concerns
The Zaporizhzhia power plant is located around 200 km from the war in Donbas combat zone, where fighting started in 2014.

On 3 December 2014, Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk announced the occurrence of an incident several days before at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The cause of the incident was reported as a short circuit in the power outlet system and was not linked to the site's production. One of the six reactors of the plant was shut down twice in December 2014. This and lack of coal for Ukraine's coal-fired power stations led to rolling blackouts throughout the country from early until late December 2014.Ukraine turns off reactor at its most powerful nuclear plant after 'accident', The Independent (28 December 2014) Ukraine Briefly Cuts Power to Crimea Amid Feud With Russia Over NATO, New York Times (24 December 2014) Coal import to help avoid rolling blackouts in Ukraine — energy minister, ITAR-TASS (31 December 2014) Rolling blackouts in Ukraine after nuclear plant accident, Mashable (3 December 2014) Ukraine to Import Coal From ‘Far Away’ as War Curtails Mines, Bloomberg News (31 December 2014)

2022 Russian occupation of plant
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February 2022, Energoatom shut down Units 5 and 6 to reduce risk, keeping Units 1 to 4 in operation on 25 February.

At 11:28 pm local time on 3 March 2022, a column of 10 Russian armored vehicles and two tanks approached the power plant. Fighting commenced at 12:48am on 4 March when Ukraine forces fired anti-tank missiles. Russian forces responded with a variety of weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades. During approximately two hours of heavy combat, a fire broke out in a training facility outside the main complex, which was extinguished by 6:20am, though other sections surrounding the plant sustained damage.

The fire did not impact reactor safety or any essential equipment. The plant lost 1.3 GW of capacity. It was later learned that a large caliber bullet pierced an outer wall of Reactor No. 4 and an artillery shell hit a transformer at Reactor No. 6. The potential catastrophe quickly led Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accuse Russian leader Vladimir Putin of “nuclear terrorism”.

Ukrayinska Pravda reported on 12 March 2022 that the plant's management was told by Russian authorities that the plant now belonged to Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear power company. It continued to operate and supply data, including from a remote monitoring system, to the IAEA, and continued to be operated by Ukrainian staff, under Russian control. Satellite imagery from 9 July 2022 and 7 August 2022 shows that Russian forces established bases and defensive positions next to the reactor units, along the central supply route and on the periphery of the facility.

On 3 September 2022 an IAEA delegation visited the plant and on 6 September 2022 a report was published documenting damage and potential threats to plant security caused by external shelling and the presence of occupying troops in the plant.

With the declared annexation of Zaporizhzhia oblast, Russia also declared legal takeover of the plant, while the actual control over its operations continued to be unclear as of October 2022. Russian forces detained a number of plant's Ukrainian employees—starting from its deputy director Valery Martynyuk, his assistant Oleh Oshek, and IT manager Oleh Kostyukov—without providing any justification for their detainment.

As of November 2022, Ukrainian cities had drawn up plans for evacuation centers and secured supplies of potassium iodide pills, and 10% of Ukrainian emergency medical teams had been reconfigured to respond to chemical, biological, radiation, and nuclear risks.

The destruction of the nearby Kakhovka Dam on 6 June 2023 was reported to have no immediate risk to the plant. Generally five units have been in cold shutdown with one unit kept in hot shutdown, which the IAEA reported was necessary to produce steam for nuclear safety purposes, including the processing of liquid radioactive waste in storage tanks. The IAEA is urging the investigation of whether an external boiler can be installed as an alternative to keeping one unit in hot shutdown.

On 19 January 2024, the IAEA reported the presence of mines along the perimeter of the power plant's territory, in the buffer zone between the inner and outer fences of the facility. According to the Agency it is "inconsistent with the IAEA safety standards." Mines that had been found there previously were removed in November 2023.

On 7 April 2024, the IAEA reported that the plant was attacked by drones, apparently targeting surveillance and communication equipment. Russian troops tried to shoot down the drones without success. There was at least one casualty outside a laboratory, three direct hits on reactor containment structures and minor superficial scorching on the Unit 6 reactor dome. Although the nuclear safety was not compromised as there was no evidence of any structural damage to systems, the Agency considers strike as a major threat to nuclear safety.

Revetment

A revetment in stream restoration, river engineering or coastal engineering is a facing of impact-resistant material (such as stone, concrete, sandbags, or wooden piles) applied to a bank or wall in order to absorb the energy of incoming water and protect it from erosion. River or coastal revetments are usually built to preserve the existing uses of the shoreline and to protect the slope.

In architecture generally, it means a retaining wall. In military engineering it is a structure formed to secure an area from artillery, bombing, or stored explosives.

Freshwater revetments
Many revetments are used to line the banks of freshwater rivers, lakes, and man-made reservoirs, especially to prevent damage during periods of floods or heavy seasonal rains (see riprap). Many materials may be used: wooden piles, loose-piled boulders or concrete shapes, or more solid banks.

Concrete revetments are the most common type of infrastructure used to control the Mississippi River. More than 1000 miles of concrete matting has been placed in river bends between Cairo, Illinois and the Gulf of Mexico to slow the natural erosion that would otherwise frequently change small parts of the river's course.

Revetments as coastal defence
Revetments are used as a low-cost solution for coastal erosion defense in areas where crashing waves may otherwise deplete the coastline.

Wooden revetments are made of planks laid against wooden frames so that they disrupt the force of the water. Although once popular, the use of wooden revetments has largely been replaced by modern concrete-based defense structures such as tetrapods. In the 1730s, wooden revetments protecting dikes in the Netherlands were phased out due to the spread of shipworm infestations.

Dynamic revetments use gravel or cobble-sized rocks to mimic a natural cobble beach for the purpose of reducing wave energy and stopping or slowing coastal erosion. Unlike solid structures, dynamic revetments are designed to allow wave action to rearrange the stones into an equilibrium profile, disrupting wave action and dissipating wave energy as the cobbles move. This can reduce the wave reflection which often contributes to beach scouring.

Tetrapods

In coastal engineering, a tetrapod is a four-legged concrete structure used as armour unit on breakwaters. The tetrapod's shape is designed to dissipate the force of incoming waves by allowing water to flow around rather than against it, and to reduce displacement by allowing a random distribution of tetrapods to mutually interlock.

Fortifications

According to the U.S. National Park Service, and referring mostly to their employment in the American Civil War, a revetment is defined as a "retaining wall constructed to support the interior slope of a parapet. Made of logs, wood planks, fence rails, fascines, gabions, hurdles, sods, or stones, the revetment provided additional protection from enemy fire, and, most importantly, kept the interior slope nearly vertical. Stone revetments commonly survive. A few log revetments have been preserved due to high resin pine or cypress and porous sandy soils. After an entrenchment was abandoned, many log or rail revetments were scavenged for other uses, causing the interior slope to slump more quickly. An interior slope will appear more vertical if the parapet eroded with the revetment still in place."

Bordered white

The bordered white or pine looper (Bupalus piniaria), is a moth of the family Geometridae. Among these, it belongs to tribe Bupalini of the subfamily Ennominae. B. piniaria is a common species throughout the western Palearctic region, the Near East and North Africa. However, its presence in certain regions – e.g. the northern Balkans – is doubtful.

Three subspecies are generally recognized, while two additional ones are doubtfully distinct:
 * Bupalus piniaria bernieri de Lajonquiere, 1958
 * Bupalus piniaria espagnolus Eitschberger & Steiniger, 1975
 * Bupalus piniaria flavescens White, 1876 (usually included in piniaria)

 * Bupalus piniaria mughusaria Gumppenberg, 1887 (usually included in piniaria)
 * Bupalus piniaria piniaria (Linnaeus, 1758)

In addition, many forms (e.g. kolleri) have also been named.

Description and ecology
This moth is an inhabitant of coniferous woodland. The adults fly in May and June, sometimes later (up to August or so) in the north of the range. Their wingspan is 34–40 mm. This is a variable species with strong sexual dimorphism, always conspicuous in the antennae which are combed in the males and plain in the females. Females, particularly when filled with ripe eggs, also have a plumper abdomen.

Taxonomy
It is (under its original scientific name Phalaena piniaria) the type species of its genus Bupalus, as well as the junior objective synonyms Catograpta, Chleuastes and Phaophyga, and the preoccupied Bupala. Via its genus, it is also the type of the Bupalini. Bupalus was raised by the English zoologist William Elford Leach, in 1815 and is the name of a 6th-century BC Greek sculptor. The specific name piniaria refers to Pinus the pine tree genus and food-plant.

Category talk:Grammar frameworks

[Untitled]
I was wondering how broad we want this category to be. X-bar theory and Tree-adjoining grammar are not really grammar frameworks in the usual sense of the phrase, but I suppose it doesn't do much harm to have them in this category. What do people think? Cadr 09:25, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh, I didn't know there was a common definition in use...I just made up the title as a place to throw all the theories of grammar floating around Category:Grammar. The theories of grammar which make up the majority of the entries here fall into various classes...it might be a good idea to collect articles on those classes in their own category, which I take it would include TAGs.  Alternatively, we could make the category tree divide grammar theories into appropriate subclasses, but I think there may be mroe than one way to classify each one, so that sounds like it might be too confusing.  Ithink it's fine for this category to remain "Articles about grammar frameworks and about things related to grammar frameworks", whether just for now or in the long run. -- Beland 00:57, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

1000Fryd

1000Fryd is a small café, bar, and community center with a stage, a recording studio, a cinema, and an art gallery, located in Aalborg, Denmark. Since 1000Fryd opened in 1984 there have been thousands of concerts by both well known bands – such as Die Toten Hosen and Green Day – and utterly obscure local performers, such as Jimmy Justice and Columbian Neckties. It is a focus of the successful novel Nordkraft by Jakob Ejersbo.

The bar and concert hall are located on the ground floor. Other floors in the building contain cots for touring bands, artists and vagrants as well as several art studios. The venue is operated by foreningen Tusindfryd and staffed by volunteers. It has promoted non-traditional music, for example "Denmark's first grunge band" and alternative rock.

The bar has been plagued by vandalism and fighting, including a riot in front of it in 2007, and at one point almost lost its liquor licence.

1000Fryd plays a major role in Jakob Ejersbo's successful novel Nordkraft, which explores the culture of disaffected urban youth at the turn of the 1980s–1990s and was adapted as a film in 2005 (English title: Angels in Fast Motion) and as a play in 2011. According to one of those who worked on the stage adaptation: "In Aalborg it's the culture surrounding 1000Fryd in the transition from the 80s to the 90s. It's an underground culture of middle-class and lower-middle-class kids that developed in a strong form during the 80s. Not working-class as such, but rather a sort of youth proletariat that made itself felt very strongly in Aalborg and Aarhus in those years".
