Coriolis again
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit to Coriolis effect. In the Northern hemisphere, flow around a low is in a counterclockwise direction. In the Southern hemisphere, a low pressure system would have clockwise flow. Let me know if there's any problem with this, and thanks for your hard work and edits.

 * I suppose that you would be watching the airflow either on the same plane or above it, as that's how most meteorological maps are drawn and satellite images are seen. I can see where you're coming from that if you were to look at it from below you would consider it clockwise, but counterclockwise for lows in the NH is the widely accepted way of stating it. Thanks for your message. E WS23 | (Leave me a message!) 08:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

User Croatian Historian
Hi, I have just noticed that Croatian Historian has blanked his site from warnings again. He has been banned already for doing so, and blanks the page repeatedly. Could you please do something about it? He also has a history of disruptive behaviour and his userpage is quite insensitive (if not insultive and racist), and so are his comments. Thanks Mostssa 08:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Croatian Historin
I'd already blocked him, I suggest you don't get into a war at the moment regarding the warning removals etc. I've requested some comments on WP:AN/I. --pgk( talk ) 09:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * First, I find that part ofWP:VAND dubious, and have raised it at the Talk page. Secondly, many if not most of the warnings on his page were placed with no good reason with editors who opposed him in disputes at articles; in my view placing them was disruptive, not removing them. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 18:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The problem with the WP:VAND text is in part precisely that no-one would object to the removal of mischievous warnings from one's Talk page; I've done it myself, when childish vandals respond to warnings by returning them, or when PoV-pushers and trolls are venting their spleen. I think that, unless an admin is prepared to check to make sure that warnings are genuine, he or she shouldn't take steps against an editor for removing them. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:16, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome,, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, FireFox and Titoxd. The next set of elections will be in April, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

Croatian Historian
Wait what? He blanked warnings, so he got a wr. Nothing unusual, the guy blanks warnings every time his talk page gets unprotected. -- Rory 0 96 05:07, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Was he cleared of this lovely comment too? I doubt it, and my warnings are legitimate. -- Rory 0 96 06:06, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm a clearly involved party, I'm in it for the long run. And I don't want to see this guy get away with what he did. -- Rory 0 96 06:20, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I reverted the very first page blanking of his; believe me, I know. -- Rory 0 96 06:29, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

The warnings that he blocks are either mischievous, placed by opponents in a conflict about content, or warnings placed by editors and admins about his removal of the mischievous warnings (because they haven't bothered to check the facts).

The diff given by Rory096 hardly constitutes grounds for blocking, and is scarcely a personal attack, even though it might be inaccurate.

OrbitOne asks
 * "Hi. I would like to ask you, why was Croatian historian unblocked so soon after being blocked for personal attacks?"

For all the reasons that I've given at Talk pages and at WP:AN/I. I've seen no siognificant evidence of perosnal attacks or any real misbehaviour, though lots of examples of extreme oversensitivity on the part of admins and other editors, failure to investigate the situation, and consequent heavy-handededness. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 06:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Of course that isn't grounds for blocking, it's just one of many examples of him calling me a vandal (and this time going a bit further with it), one of many personal attacks he's made. -- Rory 0 96 06:29, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

My User Page and the Barn Star
Thanks for the star! Mapping has been in my blood since I was a child (I used to gaze at road maps and atlases), and I love doing this stuff. As my work takes me to various countries of interest, I check Wikipedia for info and if it is missing, try to aggregate it from a number of sources (UN, Statoids, Gazeteer, etc).

The Warning (Hot Chip album)
The article as it stood read like a review, not to mention that it was copied verbatim from a different music site, as evidenced at the bottom. Yes, it was long, but the article was not very good at all. :<
 * I normally sign. I just forgot. I do believe that I had the right to blank the article, as the article as it was before was horrible. Anyone who read it should come to exactly the same conclusion. The copyvio tag was also unneeded as it was all deleted. It was a review. On another note, I do have the right to change/blank it. My edits have just as much weight as others' edits, and the nature of Wikipedia allows people such as myself to do so. -- 65.118.187.102 21:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Are you misunderstanding me? I don't want the article to be deleted. What was written in the earlier version of the article was a great bunch of cruft. The album deserves an article, as it is a pretty popular album, IIRC. It just needs to be rewritten. AfD is not the solution; I did not completely blank the article, I just stubbed it. Maybe I shall write up a more uniform article when I get home. Who knows? Maybe somebody else will write one. On another note, I do know the procedures for stuff like this. I have been editing Wikipedia for Goddess knows how long. -- 65.118.187.102 21:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Fidel Castro vandalism

 * Hello OrbitOne,

Viking ships
The information I added can be found in many of the other sources about vikings and the ships used by the Norsemen. What complicates this a bit is that the information I removed is hard to actually dispute with sources that explicitly states that it is incorrect - No scandinavian archaeologist or historian would ever think of longships and warships as different ship types. It would be a bit like finding a source that supports the claim that giant pink centipedes live at the north pole - To most people, that claim would sound ludicrous. But untill we find a source that proves (or at least states) that this is wrong, we would have to accept that as a fact. Unless we choose to view the source claiming the existence of the pink centipedes as unreliable.

Which is also the case with the previous source cited, it is not reliable. (We are talking about lecture notes, and as such, they are the interpretation of the one who attended the lecture, and can be misinterpreted and misunderstood.) So far, it's the only source that I have seen that actually states that longships and warships were two distinct ship types. Any other source focused on norse/viking ships would distinguish between the knarr and the longship.

Smaller longships were more commonly used in war (or battle), but the reason for this is that smaller longships were overall more common. This doesn't mean that smaller longships were warships, while the larger ones were not. Therein lies the misinterpretation made by the author of the lecture notes that were previously cited as a source.

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

 * Thank you for the advise OrbitOne, I am not very skilled in dealing with dufficult editors I admit I have not encountered cases like Comanche before in spite of being a long time member of Wikipedia. The guidelines for dealing with such things are not very easy to wade through. I have tried to envoke attention from administrators before, but it seems most are too busy to engage more than a few moments. I have lost patience with Comanche because of the many wrongful accusations such as the ones on my talk page and several personal attacks. Making repeated wrongful statements regarding my edits even though I have made it clear that I have not made such claims. Personal attacks (calling me ignorant, narrow minded, idiot and other things are personal attacks), abusive language and the 3RR are the reasons for my warnings and they are well founded. I have both attemted to guide him towards taking a look at wikipedia policies such as the ones regarding Vandalism and 3RR. Then I moved on to use the standardised warings in the prescribed order. When he removed those warnings I added the Do not remove warnings.

 * Dialogue has been attemted and is ongiong to try to resolve the edit-conflict, but it is difficult when Comanche dismisses all information going against him as Icelandic/Norwegian ignorance/nationalism and other similarities. I am trying to get as much attention towards the edit-conflict as possible, on History-project pages for instance, but it seems the subject is not mainstream enough or people are intimidated from engaging in a conflict (I don't blame them). I hope neutral experts will engage as I feel now Comache will get a wrongful view through purely based on stamina. The warnings are based not on the edit-conflict but on clearcut breaking of wikipedia policies.
 * Hope this wasn't too long :) Inge 10:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Comanche cph
Sorry to bother you, OrbitOne, but Comanche is back in business. This time he is not only simply reverting the article on Denmark-Norway (six times during the last three days) but now he's even a created an "article" called Fjeldabe, the contents of which is very misleading. Again, this is a strongly derogatory / racist term. All attempts at dialogue are failing, and I have no reason to believe his behaviour will improve. (Btw, I really regret my attempt to pick up the pieces on WP:AN/I the other day, but I hate seing Norwegians being offended.) I don't know how the situation on Talk:Denmark-Norway is ever going to change, but would you please delete the Fjeldabe nonsense? I have listed Denmark-Norway at WP:RfC at the advice of User:Grutness. Regards. Valentinian (talk) 11:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Comache refuses to accept the fact that monarchs often had more than one title back then, however such an approach makes much European history meaningless. Including the titles of the Dano-Norwegian kings. Cheers. Valentinian (talk) 08:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

AMA request
The section in question lists games that feature the weapon from the article. The section is poorly written and there is no context as to why the games are notable in relation to the weapon. I feel this is Fancruft and/or game advertisement. It is common to see links in certain types of articles, such as weapons, ships and airplanes, that link to a game without explaining its importance. Such a link is often presented as; The game XXX features this weapon/ship/plane/place.

When I removed the section in question, it was reverted, when I attempted to start a discussion to chalange its inclusion, I was given no explanation, waited, and thinking the other side gave up since I saw no reply, gave a warning I would delete the section agian in 24 hours and then deleted the section after 24 hours. This was reverted again with the -only- comments being in the edit summary.

Here are my five main arguments as to why the section should be deleted.

 * 1) It was argued that such sections are common and this valid. I and other editors disagree. This is can be seen on the VillagePump where I proposed the deletion of such sections as policy. I will also point out, although it may be common to have such a section, the work of a few users can make such a section common, the inclusions of such sections need not have been with concensus.
 * 2) Several essays support the deletion of Fancruft, irrelevant sections and policy demands the deletion of directories or information added with out discrimination. Essays, although not policies, are a guide to understanding the intent of policy on Wikipedia. Essays therefor are the proper understandings of policies of Wikipedia.
 * 3) The section is poorly writen. The games mentioned are without context. There is no mention as to why it is notable or interesting beyond that the weapon is featured in one form or another.
 * 4) Policies call for the deletion of software directories. The section is a list of games with little or no context. The section can be rewritten without loss of context so it is a classic software directory. Because it can be rewritten into a software directory without loss of context or content, it already is a software directory, even if poorly written.
 * 5) There have been no solid arguments or explanations as to why games are relevant.

Pedants counter arguments.

arguments against inclusion

The following are all the arguments I can find in the discussion as to why the section should be deleted:

PROFESSIONAL, PLEASE, GAME MANIACS GO AWAY

You see how awkward it is to have a section dedicated to games in the end? This isn't even infos, buddy. Especially in such a short article. I tried to moderate it, but it just looks so bad.

Isn't it obvious that Hwacha would be in museums? This is what I mean by fancy. Unnecessary but long, as to look professional and official.

Isn't it obvious that Hwacha would be in national parks? People just want to mention games. They get excited, don't they. Why don't they play games all their life and not edit in Wikipedia, then.

I say delete it.

Not sure if I can trust games to depict hwachas and stuff.

...none of which seems to be a well reasoned argument as to why the section should be deleted. [edit]

continued

1. (above) 2. Policy precludes the imprecise use of the term 'fancruft' as being insulting and without definition. Please cite the essays to which you refer? It is not irrelevant to include a mention of games which have hwacha in them, the article is titled hwacha, and the references are relevant to hwacha, I don't see how that is difficult to understand. 3. Poorly written sections can be rewritten, that's how wikipedia works. Not every editor is a native speaker of English, and nobody is expected to write as brilliantly as you, because you can edit the writing yourself to make it brilliantly written. You should not just delete poorly written text. 4. The text to which you refer is not a software directory. It is a paragraph about modern cultural referents to the subject of the article. See this for a definition of a directory, which I already quoted above, I will henceforth consider that you in fact have read it and are either misunderstanding or misstating official wikipedia policy if you refer to the removed text as a directory. Previously an editor has said "Firstly, about the game section. I agree that Hwacha's should be noted for their use in games. However the section should be kept at a basic level and not detailed." and nobody disagreed with the editor, so really, an undetailed game section follows consensus. This comment was after the first vote which was inconclusive: 3 to 2 to keep the games section. 5. Games that have Hwacha in them are relevant to the article Hwacha because they have hwacha in them. I don't speak Korean or Chinese, is hwacha the correct plural? The article called Hwacha mentions games that have hwacha for the same reason that Knight mentions Chess, and the individual game articles in question link to Hwacha for the same reason that Chess links to Knight. Also, since the text was in the article and then removed, I think the onus is on the person removing it to say why it should be removed. HappyApple has been very patient to try to express the point, but has not gotten any clear response as to why it should be deleted.

My counter to points 2 through 5.

To address point 5.

Not everything that features a Hwacha is automaticly relevant to the historical weapon. The games never have had an effect on peoples factual knowledge of the weapon past that it existed. A good test of relevance is to ask, would the article change significantly, or at all past the games mention, if the games never featured this weapons? If it would not change, then the game is not relevant. If it would change, then it would be relevant. Also, the section is missing context as to how it is relevant to the historical weapon. If you wish to explain in what context the games are relevant, then please do.

But the point of Knight being linked to in Chess is a questionable argument. The knight is a featured and important part of that game. Applying the test mentioned, the article would be significantly changed if the knight was never part of the game. Likewise, the games that feature a Hwacha should link to the article Hwacha if the use of the weapon in the game is significant to game play, but this still does not make the games relevant to the Hwacha.

To address point 2.

* Wikipedia:Fancruft * Wikipedia:Notability * Wikipedia:Listcruft

To address point 3.

If you wish to suggest a rewrite, then I must insist that it also has some context as to why it is notable. Would you care to explain how it is notable?

To address point 4.

As I said, the section can be rewritten into a software directory without any loss of context or content. If it can be rewritten into a good directory without any loss of either context or content, then it is a directory, no matter how poorly written. Also, the claim that Wikipedia's examples of a directory are the only kinds of directories is short sighted. Wikipedia cannot list every kind of directory and instead gives a few examples so there is an understanding as to what a directory is. It is my understanding this is a directory.

Pedant then countered by saying I misrepresented the section as a link exchange. I object to this because I am not the one who reasoned links should be bidirectional. That was HappyApple himself who reasoned the links should be "bidirectional" and not "monodirectional".

Pedant is, I think, resorting to discrediting me instead of explaning how the links are notable and relevant to the weapon, Hwacha.

Hwacha article
Hi Orbit one! I read your userpage and it seems you are very against popular culture sections in articles, since it made it to your front page.

I understand how you feel that games are irrevelent to the article and should be deleted, but I disagree with you. I am not advocating an overloaded popular culture section with all sorts of info of where you can find the hwacha. Instead, only a short brief section is what I want. I don't think it would hurt to at least mention the Hwacha's popularity and its usage today. Good friend100 13:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

AMA Case
Hi - I sent that message to almost all advocates who weren't banned or co-ordinators. As for the specific problem, I think that it certainly looks like your advocate isn't continuing with the case, for whatever reason, and the case has been in existence for so long that I think you'd be perfectly justified in finding a new advocate. Since you made your request, we've updated our requests system, which may slightly complicate things, but I'll try to walk you through it :). Firstly, I think you should try to message your advocate, informing him that you plan to look for a new advocate, and see if this spurs him into taking action on the case.  If you get no response or an unfavourable one, then you should go to WP:AMAREQ and start a new request using the box on that page.  On the edit page which appears, you should fill in your username, the page name and the usernames of those involved, as well as copying the text from the AMA requests section on your talk page into the new requests page.  When you're happy with the request, save it, and add it to your watchlist.  After an (uncertain) length of time, another advocate will pick up your case.  I hope this has been of some help - if you need anything else, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. M a rtinp23 09:38, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Your question

 * "As HappyApples advocat, I would like to have your input on WikiProject_Military_history. HappyApple seems content on ignoring this style guideline, which is a problem if other users agree the guideline should be followed. --User:OrbitOne"

What do you mean exactly? Are you one of the Mediators on the case? An author of the guideline? An opponent of HappyApple's position? In what context do you want input? Are you asking if I agree on the guideline? Are you asking if I believe the guideline has any standing in this case? Are you asking my opinion on HappyApple's behaviour, characterised by you as ignoring the style guideline? Obviously a subset of users agree on the guideline or it wouldn't exist. Who wrote it, and when, might be of some use in a discussion, as well as why it is a guideline and not a policy. I believe HappyApple's case can be resolved at a Wikipedia-policy-of-user-behaviour level, rather than at the level of wikiproject-guidelines-of-style. At this point I don't see much point in discussing this outside of the forum of the ongoing mediation. User:Pedant 23:03, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

more...
Sorry if you took my comments to be rudeness, really, I am sorry. I've just recently received a lot of aggressive sounding (and 'anonymous') email about this case, and I think most of HappyApple's antagonists have been pretty brusque and snotty to him.

WikiMachine seems intent on using HappyApple as a 'foil', to make sweeping changes in policy, otherwise he would, in my opinion, have simply made appropriate edits to the popular culture section in question.

As for the guideline, it reads a little unclear to me. Without being specific, I am in general averse to proscription of classes of subject matter or topic sections on Wikipedia, which this guideline seems to be. I don't prefer to edit the guideline itself, as it applies (more accurately is being applied) to the case I'm involved in, and I am not part of that particular project. (I think that military history is far too often slanted in favor of the victor, and that the vanquished then become the ones who were wrong, I don't agree with Julius Caesar on the rights of the conqueror to do as he pleases to his vanquished foes) I don't see myself how the guideline applies to this case (which I think is understandable at the actual official policy level, rather than burrowing into obscure  guidelines which have only even been seen by a relatively minuscule group of editors and have not been vetted as policy by the greater Wikipedian community), nor would I characterise HappyApple's behaviour as "ignoring" it, he may not be aware of the guideline, and I am not aware of HappyApple having been steered towards it. I also suspect it is a new guideline, and that it may not have existed before the present controversy, as I have already seen that at least one party has edited policies to make them seem as if there has been a clear-cut violation of policy.

I think far too much time has been spent on banging HappyApple around about his lack of facility with the English language, and precious little time on constructive edits to the article in question (Hwacha). This is essentially the core of the problem as I see it.

Again, I'm sorry if I seemed rude. I'll be glad to discuss, constructively and cooperatively, anything at all, as long as it doesn't stray too close to any case I am working on. User:Pedant 21:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

productive solution
What do you suggest? User:Pedant 04:19, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Your suggestion
That doesn't seem to be much of a compromise. It's a slippery slope from there to removing the pop culture sections from all weapons articles, or replacing them with 'weapon X appears in some games' (which is close to no information at all) and from there to removing them entirely. I think that HappyApple's position is that those references are more valuable when they have information than when they are just a vague reference to games in general.

There is a long-standing and well established practice of including that sort of reference, I won't attempt to list them here as I don't want to make it convenient for them to all be removed, which is really what's at stake. See AK-47 just for instance.

I think we should let consensus work it's magic on this, rather than setting precedents which could be used to change policies, or as an excuse to remove other information. Cultural influences and cross references are an important part of the reference value of an encyclopedia.

You wouldn't remove the link from Tek-9 to Drive-by shooting would you? User:Pedant 19:30, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

A request for assistance
Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 05:52 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Discussion on Heat Pumps
Hi OrbitOne, regarding the addition of Solid State Heat Pumps to the Heat Pumps article.

Your reason for removing the section was "It is not a heat pump, but a magnetic effect that warms a metal. (did the research)) ". One could make the same erronious statement about gas compression heat pumps: "It is not a heat pump, but a compression effect that warms the gas". They are both exactly the same. In both cases, when the pressure is released, or the magnetic field removed, the temperature drops below it starting point. That is a heat pump, the word "pump" is not used in the context of a gas being being compressed by a PUMP, since a pump always moves liquids and gases, it does not merely compress them. The word "Pump" in heat pump refers to the heat itself being pumped, i.e. moved, from A to B.

A heat pump uses a quantity of work energy (w1) to move a quantity of heat energy (h1) from one location to another. The temperature of one location decreases by (h1), and in the location the energy is moved to, the temperature increases by (h1 + w1) according to the conservation of energy. Clearly the solid state heat pump meets this definition, as do gas-compression based heat pumps. They both "pump heat from one location to another". Indeed it is impossible to build refrigerators without heat pumps.

Anyway you asked for a description of the process, here it is:

Here's an article describing the process

There are plenty of wikipedians who are professional physicists who can correct the article and will correct it, if and when it is wrong. If you think that the solid state heat pumps described don't meet the definition above, that's fine, let's discuss that. I don't mind people making mistakes, you were trying to improve the article. In fact, both of us are trying to improve the article in good faith. But how can other wikipedians discuss the validity of the new section if you keep removing it? I think it would be more appropriate to discuss the validity of Solid State Heat Pumps on the discussion page of the Heat Pump article, what do you think? --Ralph Purtcher 22:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Den store brand i Chicago
Answer to da:Brugerdiskussion:Necessary Evil

Q:Jeg har ikke maskine oversat teksten, men jeg brugt en CAT program. Hvis du vil gerne hjælpe artiklen om Chicagos brand, måske det vil gavne mere, hvis du retter min Dansk frem for at slette den. --OrbitOne (talk) 22. apr 2013, 03:47 (CEST)

A:Jeg har da ikke slettet din tekst. Det er prisværdigt at du vil lære dansk, men du kan ikke forvente at folk retter hele artikler øjeblikkeligt. Wikipedia har en vis standard, så derfor bliver computer-oversatte artikler mærket "Maskinoversættelse". Det er ikke for at genere folk som dig - men for at tiltrække brugere der har lyst til at rette.

Med hensyn til dit Computer-Assisted Translation-program, så er det vist ikke særlig godt. Google Translate ville fx have skrevet ugedage og måneder med lille. Måske skulle du oversætte fra engelsk, for derefter at oversætte "oversættelsen" til engelsk med samme programmer. Nogle gange fanger man grove fejl på den måde. Held og lykke OrbitOne! --Regards, Necessary Evil (talk) 15:01, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)
Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Translators available list.

Reagan/Bush on abortion
I think there's a fair question as to the disconnect between the rhetoric and the reality of these administrations on abortion. While both talked a lot about it, neither particularly did anything about it that went beyond mere symbolism. I've been working on a fairly extensive critique of the politics of abortions, and my research thus far suggests that both political parties prefer to wrangle about the issue than to take any tangible steps to address the problem at its core. BD2412 T 02:05, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Their efforts were too narrow - focused almost entirely on the courts, even though most federal judges appointed by their respective administrations have evinced no qualms with Roe. Reagan probably did have it in his heart, but Bush Sr., in particular, always seemed uncomfortable addressing the question. Both more likely considered the political angles first and foremost. BD2412  T 02:28, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hugo Black
Hi,

I appreciate your concerns about the Black article. Your point about putting the different sections in chronological order is well-taken. However, this would mean putting Incorporation before First Amendment and Criminal Procedure; Adamson was decided in 1947, while the McCarthy era was in the 1950s and criminal procedure became a major issue during the 1950s. This seems to be a rather awkward way to separate the two. I wouldn't mind if we used a chronological format, but I suggest that we keep Incorporation where it is.

I'm not trying to imply that Black's jurisprudence was inconsistent. I was just noting that a "literal" reading of constitutional provisions resulted in broad interpretations in some cases, but narrow interpretations in others. If you feel that these sections could be worded better, feel free to correct them.

As to Chambers, I don't think that it should be mentioned in the civil rights section, as it had nothing to do with civil rights. I have, however, mentioned it in the Supreme Court Career section. As to Korematsu: as I indicated in my edit, mentioning the equal protection clause would be inaccurate, as that clause only applies to the states. Likewise, due process did come up during the case. -- Emsworth

Charlie Dimmock

Charlotte Elouise Dimmock (born 10 August 1966) is an English gardening expert and television presenter. She was a member of the team on Ground Force, a BBC gardening makeover programme, airing from 1997 to 2005.

Since then, Dimmock has presented numerous TV shows in the UK and US, including The Joy of Gardening, Charlie's Garden Army and most recently Garden Rescue.

Early life and education
Dimmock attended Wellow Primary School and the Mountbatten School in Romsey, Hampshire. Her father Terry was a merchant seaman, and her mother Sue ran her own clothes shop.

Dimmock's love of gardening began at an early age – she enjoyed spending time in the garden as a child (gravitating towards the family pond), and helping her grandfather in his vegetable patch. At junior school she had gardening lessons through the spring and summer terms. As a teenager, Dimmock had a weekend and holiday job at a local garden centre called Mill Water Gardens in Romsey.

When she was at school, Dimmock initially planned to specialise in forensic science, but changed her mind and studied horticulture. Dimmock trained as an amenity horticulturalist at Winchester and in Somerset, graduating with a BTEC Diploma in Amenity Horticulture, attaining a distinction, and a National Technical Certificate in Turf Culture and Sporting Management. She spent a year of this training at the Chelsea Physic Garden in London.

After college, Dimmock joined Romsey Garden Centre. It was here that she met TV producer John Thornicroft, who later produced Ground Force.

Television career
Dimmock first came to the public's attention in 1997, when she joined the BBC gardening series Ground Force, five years after first meeting the producer/director of the series when she built a pond for the Meridian series, Grass Roots. Dimmock co-presented Ground Force for the eight years it aired.

Since then, Dimmock has presented such programmes as The Joy of Gardening and Charlie's Garden Army, as well as presenting coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show. In 2004, she appeared in the Channel 4 reality TV show, The Games. She has also appeared on American television, presenting a gardening slot on The Early Show on CBS. In September 2006, she appeared on the BBC's Celebrity MasterChef.

Dimmock made a cameo appearance as herself in the British soap opera Hollyoaks in August 2002, acting as a special guest booked by character Gordon Cunningham to unveil the "Jubilee Gardens".

During the mid-2000s, after Ground Force had ceased production, she presented a local ITV Meridian series entitled River Walks, in which she walked along various rivers in Southern England, visiting landmarks and attractions along the way as well as meeting people who live and work on the rivers.

Dimmock was President of the Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) from 2003 to 2004 and presented their annual awards ceremony that year. In 2011, she joined the team of experts on ITV's Daybreak breakfast magazine show acting as gardening expert. In 2013, she presented an episode of The Great British Garden Revival.

In July 2016, Dimmock became a member of the team presenting Garden Rescue, a series on garden transformations produced for the BBC by Spun Gold TV.

Other projects
Dimmock has written several gardening books, including the BBC Ground Force books Water Garden Workbook and Container Gardening, as well as Enjoy Your Garden, a book on general gardening published in 2000. Dimmock wrote a weekly gardening column in the Mail on Sunday for many years, until January 2008.

Dimmock appeared in pantomime over Christmas 2011 at The Spa in Bridlington playing the Organic Fairy in Jack and the Beanstalk: she reprised the role in December 2012 at the Pomegranate Theatre in Chesterfield.

Dimmock launched her In the Garden range of gardening equipment with the retail chain Poundland on 29 February 2016. She expanded her range in 2017.

Multiple flowers have been named after Charlie Dimmock including the apricot orange Dahlia  'Charlie Dimmock' and cherry red/silvery pink Charlie's Rose.

Personal life
Dimmock's mother Sue Kennedy, 59, and her stepfather Rob, 58, both died in the 2004 tsunami caused by an Indian Ocean earthquake while they were holidaying in Thailand.

Charity work
In 2003, Dimmock competed in the Macmillan 4x4 UK Challenge charity event, raising the profile of the event considerably, which has gone on to raise over £100,000 each year for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Dimmock has also been involved in many other charity works, such as Dreamflight, a charity organisation backed by British Airways for children with serious illnesses, that takes them to Florida, United States, for a "holiday of a lifetime".

His father, Kakubhai Haribhai Shroff, was a Gujarati, while his mother was a Turkmen who fled Kazakhstan (then the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic part of the Soviet Union) during a coup according to Shroff. His maternal grandmother escaped to Ladakh along with her seven daughters and migrated to Delhi, and finally reached Mumbai.

His father came from a family of merchants and traders. However, they lost all of their money in the stock market and his father had to leave home at the age of 17. His father met his mother when both were teenagers and got married.

Jackie Shroff dropped out of junior college after finishing his 11th class. He was raised in the "Teen batti" area of Mumbai. In childhood, he fought many street fights for his friends and often got beat up. His father Kakubhai was an astrologer. After 11th grade, he did nothing for two years and later tried to get a job in the Navy and later in Air India as a Purser but did not succeed. He then received a diploma in travel and tourism and landed a job in a travel agency, when an accountant from an ad agency asked him to model. He began modelling and left the travel agency job. Aasha K Chandra, who was running an acting school, asked Shroff to join her class. Initially Shroff refused her but after she said that Dev Anand's son Suneil Anand is also attending her class, Shroff enrolled there. Sunil Anand took Shroff to his father, and he (Dev Anand) gave him a minor role as Shakti Kapoor's gang member in Swami Dada (1982). Initially, Dev Anand selected him as a second lead, but after a week changed his mind and gave that role to Mithun Chakraborty. Subhash Ghai was hunting a new guy for his upcoming movie, he asked Ashok Khanna about it. Khanna took Shroff to Ghai, who signed Shroff as lead in Hero (1983), which upon release emerged as a hit.

As a youngster, he modelled in a few advertisements including Savage perfumes. It was one of his classmates in school who gave Shroff his name "Jackie" and then filmmaker Subhash Ghai stuck to this name when he launched him in the film Hero. Shroff regularly revisits his childhood home in Teen Batti.

Films
Jackie Shroff dropped out of school after his 11th standard as his family did not have much money. He tried his hand working as an apprentice chef at Taj Hotels and as a flight attendant at Air India, but he was rejected from both places because of his lack of qualifications. He then started working as a travel agent in a local company called "Trade Wings" near Jehangir Art Gallery. An advertising agency accountant spotted him at the bus stand and asked him if he would be interested in modelling. The next day, Shroff went to the advertising agency (National advertising agency) located in the same building as Davar's college near Flora Fountain for the photo shoot during his lunch time. This photo shoot for a suit shirt launched Shroff on his modelling path. In 1982, Shroff made his acting debut in Dev Anand's film Swami Dada, in his first meeting with Anand, he offered him second lead role but after 15 days Anand called and informed him that his role is now given to Mithun Chakraborty and cast Shroff as one of henchmen of Shakti Kapoor, it was an uncredited role.

In 1983, Subhash Ghai cast him in the lead role for the action romance Hero, paired with Meenakshi Sheshadri. The film was a major critical and commercial success, and one of the highest grossers of 1983. The film made Shroff and Seshadri into overnight stars. He continued to work in Subhash Ghai films, irrespective of any role that was offered. After Hero, he did several other films, such as Andar Baahar (1984), Jaanoo and Yudh both released in 1985 were successful. In 1986 he did Karma which became the highest-grossing film of the year. His next film to be released was Kaash (1987). Later films, such as Dahleez (1986) and Sachché Ká Bol-Bálá (1989) were critically acclaimed, but failed at the box office, but he came back to success through films such as Ram Lakhan, Tridev and Parinda (all 1989). His performance in Parinda earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.

In the 1990s, he starred in successful films such as Saudagar (1991), Angaar (1992), Gardish (1993), Khalnayak (1993), 1942: A Love Story (1994), Rangeela (1995) Agni Sakshi (1996), Border (1997) and Shapath (1997). During this period, he received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for Gardish, and nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for Khalnayak, 1942: A Love Story, Rangeela and Agni Sakshi, winning for 1942: A Love Story and Rangeela.

During the 2000s, he appeared in supporting roles in Mission Kashmir (2000), which earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Villain, Yaadein (2001), Devdas (2002) and Hulchul (2004), earning two nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for Yaadein and Devdas. In 2006, Shroff acted in the children's film Bhoot Ukle. He played a minor role in Priyadarshan's Bhagam Bhag (2006) and Housefull 3 (2016). During this period, he also appeared in two Marathi films.

In 2010, he appeared in the film Bhoot and Friends. In 2011, he appeared in a cameo role in the film Shraddha In The Name Of God directed by Gurubhai Thakkar.

In 2017, Shroff made his debut in Konkani, acting in the film Soul Curry, which earned him the Goa State Award for Best Actor. Subsequently, he acted in another Konkani film released in 2019, titled Kantaar.

In October 2018, he acted in a short film, The Playboy Mr. Sawhney. He was also seen in Paltan (2018). He is set to feature in many films in 2019 like Firrkie, Bharat, Saaho, and Romeo Akbar Walter. He is also going to star in Prasthanam, which Hindi remake of Telugu film with same name alongside Ali Fazal and Sanjay Dutt.

Television
Shroff has hosted many television shows like Lehrein, Chirtrahar and Missing. Dealing with stories of missing people who were never found, Missing was popular for its creative narration by Shroff. The show was broadcast on Sony TV, of which he owned some shares. Shroff was also a judge on the magic show India's Magic Star, broadcast on Indian channel STAR One. The show began on 3 July 2010 and ended on 5 September 2010. In 2014, Shroff and his son Tiger Shroff made an appearance on Comedy Nights with Kapil. In 2019, Shroff made his digital debut with the series Criminal Justice.

Personal life
Shroff married his longtime girlfriend Ayesha Dutt, a model who later became a film producer, on 5 June 1987, her birthday. The couple runs a media company Jackie Shroff Entertainment Limited. They jointly owned 10% shares in Sony TV from its launch until 2012, when they sold their stake and ended their 15-year-long association with Sony TV. They have two children - Son, actor Tiger Shroff (born 1990) and a daughter, entrepreneur Krishna Shroff (born 1993).

Social activism
He has an organic farm, where he grows organic plants, trees and herbs. He is also the brand ambassador of Thalassemia India and over the years has supported many causes like HIV/AIDS awareness and abolishment of female foeticide. He has also funded the treatment and education of many underprivileged children. On 5 March 2021, Shroff donated an ambulance to a Lonavala-based animal shelter in the memory of his late pet dog Rocky.

Talk:The Rush Limbaugh Show

Air America
Under the AFRTS section I have delted the information on Air America: 1. Air America is a liberal talk network, not a show, thus it is not on AFRTS. Note it now appears that Al Franken is on both. 2. The allegation that the U.S. military blocks Air America's website for soldiers, needs citation. jme66.72.215.225

dan's bake sale more than just random event
Dan's Bake Sale came to represent an ideal of how the American capitalist system is supposed to work. It was discussed on the show as a model, both economically and to some degree philosophically of what economic conservatism is supposed to be about, not only in the '90s but even in the 2000s. Chapter 9 of Limbaugh's book, "See I Told You So" is dedicated to it. The treatment it's given in this article suggests it was some kind of random event that happened as a series of totally unrelated coincidences from which no specific meaning was drawn. Not so.

--

Can confirm - it wasn't just a random event. I drove across the country to attend. It was really odd the way the weather cleared up, and the clouds parted just before Rush's scheduled appearance, and the sun shone upon him. (Pure coincidence, I know... but wow...) It was a cultural event I'll never forget... though I did eventually wear out the T-shirt. -- MikeWarot — Preceding unsigned comment added by MikeWarot (talk • contribs) 21:01, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Environmentalist wacko NFL picks
Rush Limbaugh (in the past) predicted many games with humor. In the current political environment, he says he doesn't have the same time and interest. Only with the broadcast today, just before the Super Bowl 50 does he honor is history in NFL humor, saying:

RUSH: On Super Bowl Sunday, we have the predatory Carolina Panthers against the Denver Broncos -- and they're horses and they may be wild horses, but they're still victims. They're not predators. Panthers, mountain lions, cougars, what have you, they are predators. That would give you a hint as to the environmentalist wacko way to look at the game. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/02/05/quick_hits_page AstroU (talk) 06:31, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Did Rush Limbaugh just pick the Carolina Panthers over the Denver Broncos (and QB Payton Manning) in the Super Bowl this Sunday? -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 06:35, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, he just said what a 'wacko' would think in just a sentence or two. He didn't imply who would win.  -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 06:16, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Hearing Loss
I’m wondering why Limbaugh’s hearing loss isn’t in his “Show” article. As I understand it, it cost him broadcast time and has changed the tenor of his voice. And, I wonder if there is any projection of how it will effect future shows.Wcgerken (talk) 19:15, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Rudolph Goclenius

Untitled
There is a Goclenius (crater) on the Moon named after a Rudolf Gockel, German physicist, doctor, mathematician (1572-1621). (See the USGS Astrogeology page for reference.) However that age range differs from that listed on this page. Either there were two famous Germans with this name alive in approximately the same time frame, or one of the two date ranges is incorrect. — RJH 17:52, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The dates here are consistent with the fuller page on the German Wikipedia. The links there also give those other dates, though. Charles Matthews 18:10, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The lunar crater Goclenius is named after the oldest son of Rudolf Goclenius, who not only has the same name as his father but, in addition, was also professor at the same university at Marburg. There is a German article on Rudolf Goclenius d. J. To avoid confusion, someone ought to make an english article. 134.93.192.167 12:55, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Article name Suggestion
If we are calling him Glöckel or Gockel in the article body shouldn't the article name be changed to reflect this? Theroadislong (talk) 20:14, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I was just about to ask the same question. I agree, we need consistency either way between the title and the name used in the article.--ukexpat (talk) 21:20, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Christian Wolff
I removed the paragraph about his relationship with Wolff as Goclenius died before Wolff could ever be at his door.Leutha (talk) 11:04, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Contradiction:
"He [Marko Marulić] was also the first who defined and used the notion of psychology, which is today in current use." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Maruli%C4%87 He lived 18 August 1450 – 5 January 1524. (According to the article.)

And now:

"Gockel’s main contribution to science was his invention of the term “psychology” in 1590." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Goclenius

In 1590, that is, when Marko Marulić was already dead.

1995 Copa América

The 1995 Copa América football tournament was staged in Uruguay. The host country, Uruguay, won it by beating Brazil 5–3 in the penalty shootout after a 1–1 draw in the final. All 10 CONMEBOL members took part, with Mexico and the United States invited in order to reach 12 teams.

The United States was the surprise of the tournament, beating defending champions Argentina 3–0 and winning the group. The United States went on to defeat Mexico on penalties in the second round but then lost to Brazil 1–0 in the semi-finals. They then fell to Colombia 4–1 in the third-place game, finishing fourth overall.

In this edition of the tournament, extra time was not played if a match was drawn after 90 minutes. Instead it went straight to a penalty shootout.

Radius

[[File:Circle-withsegments.svg|thumb|right|Circle with:

]]

In classical geometry, a radius (: radii or radiuses) of a circle or sphere is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter, and in more modern usage, it is also their length. The name comes from the Latin radius, meaning ray but also the spoke of a chariot wheel. The typical abbreviation and mathematical variable name for radius is R or r. By extension, the diameter D is defined as twice the radius:

 * $$d \doteq 2r \quad \Rightarrow \quad r = \frac d 2.$$

If an object does not have a center, the term may refer to its circumradius, the radius of its circumscribed circle or circumscribed sphere. In either case, the radius may be more than half the diameter, which is usually defined as the maximum distance between any two points of the figure. The inradius of a geometric figure is usually the radius of the largest circle or sphere contained in it. The inner radius of a ring, tube or other hollow object is the radius of its cavity.

For regular polygons, the radius is the same as its circumradius. The inradius of a regular polygon is also called apothem. In graph theory, the radius of a graph is the minimum over all vertices u of the maximum distance from u to any other vertex of the graph.

The radius of the circle with perimeter (circumference) C is

 * $$r = \frac C {2\pi}$$

Formula
For many geometric figures, the radius has a well-defined relationship with other measures of the figure.

Circles
The radius of a circle with area $A$ is
 * $$r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}.$$

The radius of the circle that passes through the three non-collinear points $P_{1}$, $P_{2}$, and $P_{3}$ is given by

 * $$r=\frac{|\vec{OP_1}-\vec{OP_3}|}{2\sin\theta},$$

where $θ$ is the angle $∠P_{1}P_{2}P_{3}$. This formula uses the law of sines. If the three points are given by their coordinates $(x_{1},y_{1})$, $(x_{2},y_{2})$, and $(x_{3},y_{3})$, the radius can be expressed as

 * $$ r = \frac {\sqrt{\bigl((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2\bigr) \bigl((x_2 - x_3)^2 + (y_2 - y_3)^2\bigr) \bigl((x_3 - x_1)^2 + (y_3 - y_1)^2 \bigr)} }{ 2\bigl| x_1 y_2 + x_2 y_3 + x_3 y_1 - x_1 y_3 - x_2 y_1 - x_3 y_2\bigr| }.$$

Regular polygons

The radius $n$ of a regular polygon with $r$ sides of length $n$ is given by $R_{n}$, where $$R_n = 1\left/\left(2 \sin \frac\pi n \right)\right. .$$ Values of $r = R_{n} s$ for small values of $s$ are given in the table. If $R_{n}$ then these values are also the radii of the corresponding regular polygons.

Hypercubes
The radius of a d-dimensional hypercube with side s is
 * $$ r = \frac{s}{2}\sqrt{d}.$$

Polar coordinates
The polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a fixed point and an angle from a fixed direction.

The fixed point (analogous to the origin of a Cartesian system) is called the pole, and the ray from the pole in the fixed direction is the polar axis. The distance from the pole is called the radial coordinate or radius, and the angle is the angular coordinate, polar angle, or azimuth.

Cylindrical coordinates
In the cylindrical coordinate system, there is a chosen reference axis and a chosen reference plane perpendicular to that axis. The origin of the system is the point where all three coordinates can be given as zero. This is the intersection between the reference plane and the axis.

The axis is variously called the cylindrical or longitudinal axis, to differentiate it from the polar axis, which is the ray that lies in the reference plane, starting at the origin and pointing in the reference direction.

The distance from the axis may be called the radial distance or radius, while the angular coordinate is sometimes referred to as the angular position or as the azimuth. The radius and the azimuth are together called the polar coordinates, as they correspond to a two-dimensional polar coordinate system in the plane through the point, parallel to the reference plane. The third coordinate may be called the height or altitude (if the reference plane is considered horizontal), longitudinal position, or axial position.

Spherical coordinates
In a spherical coordinate system, the radius describes the distance of a point from a fixed origin. Its position if further defined by the polar angle measured between the radial direction and a fixed zenith direction, and the azimuth angle, the angle between the orthogonal projection of the radial direction on a reference plane that passes through the origin and is orthogonal to the zenith, and a fixed reference direction in that plane.

Coquitlam Lake

Coquitlam Lake is a reservoir located just north of Coquitlam, British Columbia. It is one of the three main water sources for Metro Vancouver, and part of the Coquitlam watershed. It is also a part of BC Hydro's power generation system. A tunnel directs water from the lake to nearby Buntzen Lake, and from there to a pair of power stations.

History
Construction of the tunnel between Coquitlam Lake and Buntzen Lake began in 1902 and finished in 1905, supplying water to powerhouses on Indian Arm, which supplied electricity to Vancouver.

The first Coquitlam Dam, built to raise the water level by 5 ft, was begun in April 1904 and completed in 1905. It was built to protect the water supply to the powerhouses, and also supplied water to New Westminster. By 1906 the original dam was discovered to be leaking, and while repairs were made the leak continued through 1908, until the current dam was completed in 1914.

There is a glacier in the watershed of the reservoir, Coquitlam Glacier, which is the only glacier in Metro Vancouver. It formed during the Little Ice Age and is shrinking as the last Ice Age ends and, potentially, due to the effects of climate change. It is expected to melt by 2050.

 * I cleaned up this section and rewrote it. I think this section should NOT be removed, if anything competitors web pages require similiar sections.  -G 21:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Concur with Macutty. That was a mass of trivia and original research.  Blogs and forums are not acceptable references.  If you'd like to add criticism in the future, please source it properly and post it here on the talk page first so we can discuss it and assist you in citing it. Thanks!

CEO Compensation
Removing the comment on CEO's compensation: he is not even listed in the top 3. See link for details: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/07/10/8380869/index.htm Macutty 19:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

PR in the lead
There's a big chunk of press release in the lead. I will strip it out at some point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.209.6.41 (talk) 15:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Move?

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved per request and discussion below. GTBacchus(talk) 16:10, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Business Objects (company) → Business Objects — Capitalization is sufficient to disambiguate from Business object Pnm (talk) 01:41, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Is a plural '-s' and the case of one letter enough disambiguation? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:37, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I think so because Business Objects is well known and the topics themselves are not confusable. --Pnm (talk) 03:18, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Support per WP:PRECISION. Capitalization and pluralization is more than enough for the title as long as a hatnote is added to the company's article for the occasional lost reader. Station1 (talk) 17:57, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support, and it seems most of the existing links to Business Objects (currently a redirect to the generic term) are intended to point to the company anyway.--Kotniski (talk) 10:35, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

weird jargon
"Other Business Objects toolsets enable universes, and ready-written reports, to be stored centrally..." Universes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.158.133.78 (talk) 19:23, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * A Universe is the way that the Business Objects software enables users to view query and extract data contained in the data warehouse. Rather than users needing to write SQL code to extract data, the Universe automates the generation of SQL code by reporting software that has a graphical user interface. This means users can drag and drop the data objects they want to report upon without needing to know any details of SQL or the background database tables or their data relationships. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:01, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

More wierd jargon is - SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 is now GA for most countries: - First, what does GA mean? Second, is SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 the same as BusinessObjects 4.0 and if so where does Business Objects XI, the flagship product, fit in? - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:01, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Move? (2)

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 17:51, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Business Objects → BusinessObjects – This is a proper noun, the spelling used currently and (as far as I can tell) from the start is without the intervening whitespace. Relisted again. Jenks24 (talk) 14:03, 26 March 2013 (UTC) Relisted. BDD (talk) 17:25, 18 March 2013 (UTC) RossPatterson (talk) 00:15, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME, albeit lukewarm with all the caveats inherent in Google searches. "Business Objects" + SAP gives 5.5 million hits against 2.3 for "BusinessObjects" + SAP. Favonian (talk) 11:41, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You're right about hit counts. Interestingly, the top hit on both searches is http://www54.sap.com/solutions/analytics/business-intelligence.html, which Google summarizes as "By providing them with self-service access to the data and insight they need, no matter where the information resides. SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions help ..." - the target of the requested move.  RossPatterson (talk) 15:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
