Thank you for your input in bringing my article on Jeptha Atherton to life ! Adin-Atherton (talk) 14:05, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Jeptha was probably born in Colonial America. Some sources say Bermuda... I am actively researching. He married three times. As transcribed in Knorr's "Marriages of Southampton Co. VA", Jeptha married Sarah Tynes September 13th, 1760. A little more than two years later, according to the same source, he married Elizabeth “Betsy” (nee Thorpe), the widow of Thomas Jarrett of St. Luke's Parish on March 11th, 1763 in Southampton, VA. Penelope Pruden / Prudden (d. 1768) was I believe his third wife.

Children:

Penelope (Atherton) Brunson

Temperance Atherton

Elizabeth Dorothy (Atherton) Dawson

Mary (Atherton) Bynum

Frances Atherton (1770-1830) who married Gideon Alston (1765-1831)

and a son, Jesse Atherton. Adin-Atherton (talk) 14:07, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

My guess that he was invited to the governors palace quite a few times Tryon Palace ... Adin-Atherton (talk) 16:58, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

The palace had a large candlelight reception with fireworks in Dec 1770. It lavish cost caused resentment - J Atherton having to pay fees that month - see citation below https://books.google.com/books?id=skglAAAAMAAJ&dq=tryon+carolina+atherton&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=+atherton Adin-Atherton (talk) 17:01, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Phrasing of ref names
Hi there, having just fixed some ref issues at William Thomson (military officer), I wanted to drop you a line about the proper format for ref names. In future, please use quote marks in ref names, not the apostrophe. (  is correct;  is not. ) This probably seems like a silly distinction, especially given that ref name='Jones' DOES work fine in practice. The problem is that when using ref names of more than one word, such as ref name='Jones page 43', it doesn't work, resulting in broken formatting. Using single quotes also inadvertently spreads wrong ideas to newer editors who may emulate it and then not understand why their formatting doesn't always work. In general it's just good practice to use the proper format, quote marks, ". Thanks! Jessicapierce (talk) 17:48, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

 * I had no idea it was supposed to be quote vice apostrophe.  I guess I was just emulating what I saw.

User:G._Moore Talk to G Moore 17:57, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Help me!
I am trying to figure out why there are categories for both Category:Plantations in North Carolina and Category:Plantation houses in North Carolina. The structure same structure seems to be used for all U.S. state. The categories are managed by the Agriculture group and not the U.S. History group. Looking at other states, sometimes users put the article on a plantation or plantation house in one category and sometimes in another. It would help with consistency and being able to view results on map links to have all the articles about plantations or plantation house in the same category. Most of the articles start with the National Register of Historic Places. A few articles go beyond what is derived from these sources. My preference would be put all of the articles in the category:Plantations of "State", but this should probably be done consistently across all states. I am not sure if there is a forum to discuss this. I don't think agriculture is the right place

User:G._Moore talk 23:13, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure where you get the Agriculture group from; both categories' talk pages merely point to WP:WikiProject United States and the North Carolina WikiProject. Since this issue concerns multiple states, WT:WikiProject United States looks like a good place to discuss it. Huon (talk) 00:02, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of William Woods Holden
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article William Woods Holden you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of G. Moore -- G. Moore (talk) 05:20, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * G. Moore, as the person who nominated this article as a GAN (Good Article Nomination) six days ago, you may not also open the GA review. Reviews are only opened by people who have not nominated the article and have not made significant contributions to the article. I strongly recommend that you review the GA nomination instructions page in its entirety so you understand the whole GAN process. In the meantime, I will be nominating the review page you created for a speedy deletion, since any reviewer would need to create a new page with the same name, and they can't do so with your mistakenly created page in the way.

William Woods Holden
I've taken another look at the Earwig report for the Holden article (I honestly forgot about the GA review for awhile). Another editor came through and removed the statement that needed a citation, so that's not an issue anymore. One sentence appears to be closely paraphrased - "Throughout the 1840s and 1850s, Holden advocated for Southern rights to expand slavery and sometimes supported the right of secession, but by 1860 he had shifted his position to support the Union." Can you just rephrase this a little? I'm still confused on the Carolana issue - It's very close but I'm going to try to dig into that some more. I'm taking it off second opinion and on hold. I would like you to look at some other minor edits another user made to see if you approve. Hog Farm (talk) 14:26, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Carolana's a mirror - The Carolana page states that it's from 2007, and it appears to be almost identical to the first 2007 revision of Wikipedia. In this case, I won't support it as a reliable source.  Using it as a ref is just circling back to the '07 version of Wikipedia and using it as a source. Hog Farm (talk) 14:32, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Are you still interested in continuing this review, or should I fail the nomination? It's been going on for a couple months now. Hog Farm (talk) 15:21, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * If we don't use Carolan as a source, then we would have to cite the historical records of North Carolina legislatures, which this information was derived from. That will take some work and time to do it.   If we cite the legislative documents, would that be citing original sources?   If so, we would have to find other sources that used these original sources.   The facts are not in dispute but need specific citations.  I am currently putting a lot of effort on the WikiProject Hospitals to support the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.   It might be good to delay this until someone gets time to spend on the sourcing.   15:32, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Primary sources are acceptable, if used in moderation. I see no issues with using that.  How about this, which I've offered to another editor in a similar situation: I'll fail the nomination now, you can pick it back up when you have the time and renominate, and then I'll get to the renomination to finish it off as soon as I can.  Would that be acceptable to you?  There's been a push about leaving GAN reviews open for a long time, because the page almost broke a couple weeks ago because there were more noms than the bot can handle. Hog Farm (talk) 16:12, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * That sounds good to me.   16:14, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Regarding Page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagwan_Mahaveer_Cancer_Hospital_and_Research_Centre
Dear G. Moore,

Firstly thank you for approving my contribution to Wikipedia for the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagwan_Mahaveer_Cancer_Hospital_and_Research_Centre

Had a few questions and would be greatful if you could guide me on this?

1. How can I further improve this page and my other future contributions on Wiki platform? 2. The page is marked as noindex and nofollow for Google. Is that a protocol followed by Wikipedia in terms of a wait time?

Looking forward for your support and guidance from you.

Fishing pool
Hi. Could You help me describing (in simple words) what a fishing pool on river is? I'm searching something similar to. User:Paelius 18:05, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 * A fishing pool is a Stream pool, where fish can be found. There is a good definition in the article Stream pool: A stream pool, in hydrology, is a stretch of a river or stream in which the water depth is above average and the water velocity is below average.  An extreme example is Lake Pepin on the Mississippi River.   I have often observed stream pools in rivers and streams.  The fish like to congregate downstream of riffles in stream pools because there is abundant food, clear water, high oxygenation, and cold temperatures in deeper water.  It is usually just referred to as a pool, vice fishing pool.  -- Talk to G Moore 18:58, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I have sent you an email with details needed regarding .Anne (talk) 08:59, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I depend on J.D. Lewis's research which you linked to above. You might try sending J.D. the question.   He has responded to one of the roadblocks I had before.   The other option is to search the Colonial Records of North Carolina that contain a lot of good information.  I assume that you have looked at NCPedia, also.  These are the sources that I most often used in researching the North Carolina Revolutionary War militia units.  Do you have a connection to North Carolina?   Good luck in your research.

-- Talk to G Moore 23:47, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. Yes, I've been in touch with J.D. Lewis, but he knows nothing, unfortunately. I don't have a connection myself, but I badly need to find much more on Colonel John Gregory, who is proving to be the invisible man! Anne (talk) 23:59, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Dear fellow editor,

I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Fairchild TV

Fairchild TV or FTV (新時代電視), is a Canadian Cantonese language exempt specialty channel. It is owned by Fairchild Group, with Hong Kong broadcaster TVB holding a 20% minority stake. Fairchild TV has studios in the Greater Toronto Area (Richmond Hill, Ontario) and Greater Vancouver (inside Aberdeen Centre in Richmond, British Columbia).

The channel's origins can be traced to the Cantonese broadcasting service, Chinavision Canada was rebranded as Fairchild TV in 1993 when Thomas Fung purchased Chinavision.

Operations
Up until October 1, 2022, Fairchild TV signed on at 06:00 EST and signed off at 03:35 EST in the Greater Toronto Area. In Greater Vancouver, Fairchild TV signed on at 06:00 PST and signed off at 03:35 PST. On October 1, 2022, Fairchild TV switched to a 24-hour schedule.

More than 475,000 Chinese Canadians across Canada watch Fairchild Television each day, roughly 30% of the whole Chinese population in Canada.

Until September 1, 2020, FTV operated two standard definition television channels: Fairchild TV in Cantonese and Talentvision in Mandarin. Both stations use programming from Vancouver and Toronto. On May 23, 2013, Fairchild TV launched two High Definition (HD) channels: Fairchild TV 2 HD in Cantonese and Talentvision 2 HD in Mandarin (ceased operations in July 2016). On September 1, 2020, Fairchild TV and Talenvision were upgraded to High Definition. Fairchild TV 2 "HD" signage was removed and renamed Fairchild TV 2.

Programs
Fairchild TV broadcasts local (Canadian) and overseas (Asian) programming in the Cantonese language. It also serves as an overseas station of Hong Kong television station TVB. Due to that, Fairchild TV broadcasts TVB programmes, although at a time delay of up to one year due to obtaining overseas broadcasting rights. It has also broadcast programs from other Hong Kong television stations including ATV (previously), ViuTV, and additionally feature popular Mainland Chinese programmes. Fairchild TV also organises annual events, such as the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant, Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant, New Talent Singing Awards Vancouver Audition, New Talent Singing Awards Toronto Audition and Calgary New Talent Singing Awards. These programs are broadcast live nationally. Many of the contestants from these contests have gone on to hosting television shows on Fairchild TV and some earn fame in Asia. Most notable are Bernice Liu (廖碧兒), Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣), and Leanne Li (李亞男), they were former Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant and Miss Chinese International Pageant winners, and Jacky Chu, Elva Hsiao and Jade Kwan of New Talent Singing Awards Vancouver Audition.

Antonio Panzeri

Pier Antonio Panzeri (born 6 June 1955) is an Italian politician who served as Member of the European Parliament for the North-West with the Democrats of the Left, the Democratic Party and Article One, as part of the Socialist Group, from 2004 until 2019.

In December 2022, it was reported that Panzeri had been arrested as part of an investigation into corruption and bribery during his time as an MEP alongside other staff and politicians from the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, including then European Parliament Vice-President, Eva Kaili.

Career
Panzeri was born in Riviera d'Adda, province of Bergamo. Between 1995 and 2003, he was General Secretary of the Metropolitan Chamber of Labour of Milan.

From 2003 to 2004, Panzeri was responsible for European policies; he devised and carried out a humanitarian mission to Belém, Brazil, and was a promoter and organiser of events to help the civilian victims of the Yugoslav wars. He attended the General Assembly of the United Nations as an observer for Israeli-Palestinian issues.

From 1996 until 2003, Panzeri worked with the city authorities of Milan, Barcelona, and Frankfurt, in the context of an international project to compare experiences regarding economic development, immigration and welfare, and to devise a future European municipality model.

Member of the European Parliament, 2004–2019
Panzeri became a Member of the European Parliament in the 2004 elections. In parliament, he was a member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats group.

From 2009 until 2019, Panzeri served on the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET). In 2014, he also joined its Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI). In this capacity, he was also a member of the Democracy Support and Election Coordination Group (DEG), which oversees the Parliament's election observation missions.

In addition to his committee assignments, Panzeri served as chairman of the parliament's delegation for relations with the Maghreb countries and the Arab Maghreb Union. He was previously a member of the delegations to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (2009-2014) and for relations with the United States (2004-2009). He was a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on Integrity (Transparency, Anti-Corruption and Organized Crime) and of the European Parliament Intergroup on LGBT Rights. He was also part of the Elie Wiesel Network of Parliamentarians for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities and against Genocide Denial.

In 2015, Panzeri nominated Saudi blogger Raif Badawi for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.

Founder and president of Fight Impunity
In September 2019, Panzeri founded a human rights NGO in Brussels, "Fight Impunity", and has been president of it since.

December 2022 Arrest
In December 2022 Panzeri was arrested as part of an investigation into corruption and bribery during his time as an MEP alongside other staff and politicians from the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, including then European Parliament Vice-President, Eva Kaili. Shortly after, acting on a European arrest warrant, Italian police detained Panzeri's wife Maria Colleoni and their daughter Silvia, who are in the process of being extradited to Belgium. Eva Kaili's husband Francesco Giorgi, a former parliamentary assistant to Panzeri with whom Panzeri had founded "Fight Impunity", was also arrested.

The accusations related to "a Gulf country (influencing) the economic and political decisions of the European parliament". It was later revealed that the Persian Gulf state in question was Qatar.

On 17 January 2023 Panzeri signed a plea bargain with the Belgian Public Prosecutor's Office.

The Belgian investigations revealed that the Panzeri also received bribes, gifts and luxury trips from Morocco. As per the reports, the former Italian MEP was bribed by the North African nation for over a decade in an attempt to buy influence in the European Parliament. Panzeri was one of the major links in the EU-Morocco relations, where he also pressed for the EU Commission to allocate more funds for Morocco. Besides, Panzeri also supported Morocco’s trade and fisheries agreement.

Panzeri and Morocco’s ambassador to Poland, Abderrahim Atmoun, worked together as co-chairs of the Morocco-EU joint parliamentary committee. Panzeri admitted Atmoun provided financial help for his 2014 electoral campaign, including covering a €50,000 cost of a party in Milan.

In 2014, King Mohammed VI awarded Panzeri and Atmoun with the third class “wissam” Alaoui for his services to Morocco. Besides, Atmoun had been secretly making payments to Panzeri using different NGOs.

Atmoun in 2019 brokered a deal between Morocco's foreign intelligence agency, Direction générale des études et de la documentation and Panzeri and his colleague Francesco Giorgi, whereby the two would each receive €50,000 a year for lobbying on behalf of Morocco.

According to a report by La Libre in January 2023, the Belgian police confiscated a suitcase from Panzeri, which contained an envelope that had a logo of the United Arab Emirates’ Red Crescent.

David Michael Bell (born September 14, 1972) is an American former professional baseball third baseman, who is currently the manager for the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball (MLB). Over the course of his 12-year MLB playing career, Bell appeared at all four infield positions while playing for the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Cardinals, Seattle Mariners, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, and Milwaukee Brewers. He made his MLB debut for the Indians in 1995.

After his retirement as an active player, Bell served as manager of the Triple-A Louisville Bats and (former) Double-A Carolina Mudcats, both in the Reds organization, prior to his promotion to Reds skipper, late in 2018.

The grandson of Gus Bell, son of Buddy Bell, and brother of Mike Bell, David Bell is a member of one of five families to have three generations play in the Major Leagues. In addition, David and Buddy are the fifth father-son pair to serve as major league managers, joining Connie and Earle Mack, George and Dick Sisler, Bob and Joel Skinner, and Bob and Aaron Boone.

Bell was also a member of the Moeller boys' basketball team. Bell committed to play baseball at the University of Kentucky as a junior.

John McKay (attorney)

John Larkin McKay (born June 19, 1956) is a former United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington.

Background
McKay, a member of a prominent Republican family in the state, attended Seattle Preparatory School and the University of Washington, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 1978. After working as an aide to Congressman Joel Pritchard (R-WA) in 1978–79, McKay earned his J.D. degree at Creighton University School of Law in Omaha, Nebraska in 1982.

He was admitted to the Washington State Bar and joined the Seattle law firm of Lane Powell Spears Lubersky in 1982, eventually becoming a litigation partner with that firm. He then joined Cairncross & Hempelmann in Seattle, leading its litigation group and serving as a member of its management committee.

McKay served as a White House Fellow in 1989-90.

He was admitted to practice before the United States District Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.

Career as U.S. Attorney and dismissal
McKay was one of eight U.S. attorneys fired by the Bush administration in 2006 which were, after the fact, publicly described as being for performance-related issues related to "policy, priorities and management."

Appointment as U.S. Attorney
McKay was appointed United States Attorney by President George W. Bush in October 2001. He had received a positive evaluation seven months before he was dismissed. Among his noteworthy achievements was the successful prosecution of terrorist Ahmed Ressam. Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey gave McKay the additional responsibility of overseeing a pilot program for a computer system (called Law Enforcement Information Exchange) for his success he earned the United States Navy's highest civilian honor.

The Seattle Times noted in February 2007, "One of the most persistent rumors in Seattle legal circles is that the Justice Department forced McKay, a Republican, to resign to appease Washington State Republicans angry over the 2004 governor's race. Some believe McKay's dismissal was retribution for his failure to convene a federal grand jury to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the race."

On March 17, 2007, the Seattle Times reported, "Former Republican congressman Rick White, one of three candidates the Republicans have submitted to replace John McKay as U.S. attorney for Western Washington, cannot practice law in the state. White's license was suspended by the state Supreme Court in August 2003 for failure to pay his bar dues. He was reinstated to the bar in 2005 after paying a small fee, but currently holds an 'inactive' status", which is common for attorneys that are not actively practicing law.

In congressional testimony, Kyle Sampson, chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, testified that McKay may have been fired at least in part because of his advocacy for a more-aggressive investigation into the cold case murder of Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas C. Wales of Seattle. In 2018, the FBI reported Wales's death was likely the result of a conspiracy that included a contract killer. His pursuit of the case and subsequent firing were the subjects of an article by Jeffrey Toobin in the August 6, 2007 issue of The New Yorker. Toobin noted that Gonzales assured Wales's family that the investigation was still a top priority of the Justice Department.

Post-U.S. Attorney career
On May 21, 2007, Getty Images announced that McKay would join the corporation as senior vice president and general counsel, based in its headquarters in Seattle.

On September 17, 2007, Jonathan Klein, CEO of Getty Images, announced that McKay would be stepping down as general counsel to return to the law faculty at Seattle University where he would teach full-time. McKay was a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine in Seattle. McKay left Davis Wright Tremaine in 2021.

During his career as a U.S. Attorney, McKay was the prosecutor of Canadian marijuana activist Marc Emery for marijuana seed distribution from Canada. Since that time, McKay has called for reform of marijuana laws such that its sale be legally regulated and taxed.

Talk:Yatta (song)

Irrational Exuberance "Support" Message
The article seems to imply that Veloso's message to support the corporations (AOL, Sony, Disney, etc.) is an appeal to support the economy. I was under the impression that they were listed because he used some of their products, photoshopped with Yatta onto them, of course. I know off the top of my head that applies to Johnson and Johnson. Does anyone else know anything about this? --BDD 01:36, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Philip Morris is a famously hated company because its primary business is selling tobacco products, even though it has its fingers in a lot of pies, and I'd be very surprised if he were sincerely supporting them. I don't know Veloso but I doubt he was sincerely encouraging people to use those products -- the Alan Greenspan refs and (IIRC) repeated refs to encouraging people's greed (like the ironic Dr. Ruth thing about SUVs being a compensation for penis size) seem like a really obvious parody of attempts to stimulate the economy and end the recession to me. As far as whether he personally uses all these products -- it seems irrelevant. Most of these aren't cool products one would sincerely promote -- they're random things like Band-Aids, toothpaste, fast food, etc. If anything he's *parodying* brand identification and cliqueyness -- taglines like "The clothes you wear determine your value as a person" and "Apple users would all willingly give (Steve) Jobs a hummer" seem pretty ironic to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.58.225.137 (talk) 05:03, 26 April 2005 (UTC)
 * There's no doubt that the work is a parody, and I grant that IrEx is not as random and more formulaic than the average animutation, but I just can't see an animutation being used for such a specific and serious purpose. Is there any evidence supporting this idea? --BDD 18:14, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * No doubt much of it is just sheer randomness, sure, but I can't help thinking that there's enough lucid moments that much of the humor does come from skewering people's obsession with the economy and stimulating consumerism and branding. I don't think it's particularly serious, or that Veloso is trying to recruit for the socialist revolution or anything -- but the humor has a bite because it's about something real. The same is true of the original Yatta!, which makes a bit more sense if you recall how incredibly dire Japan's economy looked and how bombarded with pessimism Japanese people were when it came out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.247.164 (talk) 23:24, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Timeline
It's in Category:2001 singles, but other than that the article doesn't seem to mention any dates. Perhaps someone who knows could add when it aired originally, release of Flash animation, rise and fall of popularity and so on. --Woseph 11:05, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)

More information...
Maybe I'm just crazy, but I'd really hope that more information is added to this article, perhaps by Japanese wikieditors who have more experience with this song. Among some of the things I'd like to know:

1) The article says that the song is by a Japanese "group" named Happai-tai, and that it was first performed on the sketch show by famous comedians. I'm a little confused. Was it originally recorded by a band, and then adopted into the show by comedians? Are the dancers we see on the videos actually "Happai-tai" (a band created for the sketch show), or are those dancers actually performing a song written by a real band called Happai-Tai?

 * Happatai is the cast of the television show. They first donned their Happatai getups in a totally different sketch, but I presume the original sketch was popular enough to warrent the music video. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.92.0.61 (talk) 19:33, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

2) This page says the name of sketch show is "Adventures of a Laughing Dog", while other websites say it's called "Silly Go Lucky". What's the difference?

 * The Japanese name of the show has two names. The Japanese title (as in the title that uses Japanese characters) is "Adventures of a Laughing Dog". There is also an English title they've given themselves, "Silly Go Lucky", presumably to give the show a more "hip" attitude. Adding English words/phrases to Japanese products/shows is a fairly common practice in Japan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.92.0.61 (talk) 19:33, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

3) The page says the dance is done by well known comedians. What are their names?
 * Thier name are Kiyotaka Nanbara, Noboru Oouchi, Jun Ooki, Jun Nagura, Ken Horiuchi, Taizou Harada. Since Noboru Oouchi retirement, Ryuhei Uejima joined to this band and perform yatta! on Jimmy Kimmel Live. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.141.137.115 (talk) 11:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

4) The sketch skewers many of the stereotypes of Japanese pop culture -- Could some more examples be given? Maybe an analysis of the whole music video?

5) The actors who performed as Happa-tai were even brought to perform "Yatta" in the United States -- Were are of the original actors used? I think I can tell of at least one different actor in the Kimmel live performance. --Rc251 09:54, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks so much for the information! I'll refrain from editing the article right now and see if anyone with more experience does, but I think the intro could be a little more clear. It could say that the Happatai "group" consists of the cast of the sketch show, because right now, one could mistakenly think the group is independent of the show, and happened to perform Yatta for the first time on the show.
 * It would be great to know more too. I think I read that a cartoon spinoff was created, and also I think I recently read that the sketch show could possibly be cancelled sometime soon due to declining ratings. Also, the translations I've seen online and on the Kimmel broadcast didn't really agree with each other, so maybe we could have a translation on this article too (I realise there are always difficulties when translating music, especially when it has cultural aspects to it). In addition to the English you mentioned in the show names, I also noticed what I think is English in parts of the song besides the intro/outro and the "Everybody say Yatta!". For example, I think I hear "wonderful", "lucky", and "movie star" within Japanese phrases.
 * Maybe I'm just in my Yatta phase, but all of it is really fascinating to me, especially that the group gained enough popularity that they actually performed in the US. --Rc251 02:09, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Why was this removed?
An anon editor deleted this with no reason given in the edit summary. I'm not entirely sure why.

 * The sketch appears to be at least partly ironic commentary on attempts by the Japanese government and others to maintain optimism in the face of Japan's severe economic troubles, depicting men impoverished to the degree of having no clothing but the figurative fig leaf (though in this case the leaves are attached to white briefs) yet maintaining an irrational, irrepressible belief in their own potential for success.

Is the statement possibly POV or inaccurate? It doesn't seem so to me... --TexasDex 01:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Revert the edit if you think its worth keeping. --Billpg 10:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I wondered about that section, actually. It seems more like an opinion piece, as well as being completely out of tune with the lyrics. If this is satire, it's the happiest satire I've ever heard.  Bl a  st  [ improve me ] 26.04.07 0628 (UTC)
 * These are the lyrics in question:

"We've got recession these days...in goverment we've no faith. Could we hit "reset," that'd be number one! And since we're all here, it's just so much fun!" It seems clear to me that the relentlessly upbeat tone of the song is *intentionally* over-the-top, crazy and unbelievable, especially with this incongruous section of lyrics in mind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.251.169 (talk) 23:33, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I was not the person who removed it, but I question that statement as well. It's not "clearly" over-the-top. That may be an opinion that you and perhaps I share, but the honest truth of the matter is that the song does NOT give a sense of satire the way Swift does, at least from a Western perspective on the English translation. In fact, saying "in government, we have no faith," sounds like something in line with strong libertarian philosophy, nearly akin to hippie subculture, and as such may not strike everyone as sarcasm. It's the happiest sarcasm I've heard. At the very least, I don't think the above paragraph should be kept because it seems like an original analysis of the video.

Since Wikipedia tells me to be bold, I'll remove it now, but if you think it should be placed back, you can do that. I won't immediately revert and block without discussion. 71.59.91.78 (talk) 21:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Copyright
This song is copyrighted, of course, so I'm removing the direct link to downloading the official music video. Illegal desu. DJLarZ 16:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Links have since returned, I am removing them again. Wikipedia articles are not allowed to link to content that is in violation of copyrights. -Verdatum (talk) 15:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Go West?
Are you sure this is based only on "Go West" by the village people? Both of those songs are basically Pachelbel's Canon in D.--Dwedit 05:00, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Strange Reference - Off Topic
I removed this paragraph: ''Unfortunately, Yatta's reputation has been tarnished by a well known member of a popular New York City community website. The user has been subjected to much in the way of self induced failures and, in addition to expressing a familiar brand of homosexuality, has been noted for being quite eccentric.'' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.142.53.253 (talk) 08:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Popularity in the West
the article states ''While the song was intended to be humorous, some viewers outside Japan assumed it to be earnest, perhaps due to the obvious work that went into the special effects in the video. The incomprehensibility of such an elaborate video enhanced its popularity among Western audiences who could not understand the Japanese lyrics.''

But what is this factoid based on? Some (western) worldwide study? This is anecdotal, and personal opinion, but when I saw the Yatta! video for the first time, my assumption was that it was a comical music video. Was the video popularized because "some" thought it was "earnest" - whatever we mean by that ... Some people thought it was an earnest non-humor video? And what does that have to to with its popularity? Maybe I'm missing something here. Why would the understanding of lyrics have a bearing on this either? There are tons of people worldwide that don't understand English lyrics in American pop songs, are we to add similar statements to those articles too? Anyway, putting up a 'citation needed' for the paragraph. --Popoi (talk) 16:55, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Does anything in wikipedia need [cition-needed] for groups of "some"? I thought it was real. Does that mean wikipedia can now cite this discussion? There is a lack of logical thinking coming from your Poposhka. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.56.12 (talk) 05:23, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I have to support that the comment implying that it didn't become earnest is partly wrong, this song didn't hit #6 (which was verified) by having no emotional resonance with the populous. In addition, production values seem a bit beyond the reach of a handful of comedians in an economic crisis. Sadly, I can't cite this circumstantial evidence, but I can't help but feel that the article currently is closer to inaccurate then accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.250.133.48 (talk) 20:47, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

"Bye-Q"
What does "Bye-Q" mean, anyways? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.242.128 (talk) 02:51, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

List of conversion units of the Royal Air Force

Conversion units and operational conversion units (OCUs) were training units of the Royal Air Force (RAF).

History
With the introduction of new heavy bombers, the four-engined Short Stirling, Avro Lancaster, and Handley Page Halifax, the Royal Air Force introduced heavy conversion units (HCU). These HCUs began forming in late 1941, to qualify crews trained on medium bombers to operate the heavy bombers before final posting to the operational squadrons. Some of the HCUs were involved in bombing operations over Germany.

After the end of the Second World War, the role of the HCUs was taken over by the operational conversion units (OCUs). Although the units had nominal bases, different flights and individual aircraft usually were detached nearer the operational bases.

RAF OCUs are training units that prepare aircrew for operations on a particular type or types of aircraft or roles. Some OCUs have a shadow, or reserve, squadron designation, which is used if the unit has a war role.

Current RAF OCUs
F-35 Lightning – RAF Marham Typhoon – RAF Coningsby Hawk T.2 – RAF Valley Support helicopter (Puma and Chinook) – RAF Benson Air Mobility (Atlas and C-17) – RAF Brize Norton ISR (Wedgetail, Poseidon) – RAF Lossiemouth ISR (Reaper, Protector,Rivet Joint and Shadow) – RAF Waddington Tutor – RAF Wittering
 * 207 Squadron

Some aircraft types operated by a single squadron, which includes most transport aircraft, and most ISTAR aircraft, are not big enough to need a dedicated OCU squadron for their training requirements; they may only have a few at any time. Therefore, smaller squadrons also incorporate training facilities to allow them to process aircrew onto their aircraft type. Some roles, such as ISTAR, require more rear crew for the aircraft, such as weapon systems officers (WSOs) and weapon systems operators (WSOps) – their training can be more generalised, and this is carried out by 54 Squadron at RAF Waddington. This reduces the training requirement on the individual ISTAR squadrons, by providing aircrew who require only aircraft conversion training when they reach their squadrons.

Pilots are trained directly onto their aircraft type by the frontline squadrons using training "flights". An example of this is the OCU flight of 24 Squadron, which trains new Atlas and C-17 aircrew onto the aircraft.

115 Squadron trains flying instructors for all three branches of the British Armed Forces. 207 Squadron trains both RAF and Royal Navy pilots on the F-35 Lightning.

OCUs are monitored by the RAF's Central Flying School to maintain training standards. Training is delivered by qualified flying instructors (QFIs) and qualified weapons instructors, and frontline squadrons also have qualified individuals to deliver continual and refresher training after the OCU. OCUs generally also provide training for those aircrew selected to become QFIs on an aircraft type – an example would be the now disbanded 208(R) Squadron, which previously trained aircrew for the now disbanded 100 Squadron, QFIs for 208(R), and provided refresher training for aircrew joining the RAF aerobatic team, the Red Arrows, on the Hawk T.1.
