Un-footnoted & Unreferenced new pages
Hello, Robert Fraser, than you for creating new pages on novels to expand Wikipedia. However, excuse me for mentioning it, but it is basically expected, especially when creating a new page, to have references that are more than a few external links. It is far easier for you to provide these at creation time rather than for other editors, who may be less familiar with the topic, to locate and add sources later. I refer in particular to your most recent new pages, I have added a source here to Shining Through (novel) nearly 2 years after you created it. You are aware of WP:Verifiability? Please provide better and footnoted sources for new pages whenever possible. Regards, 220  of  Borg 04:11, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

 * This Sweet and Bitter Earth (18 June 2015) and

Talk:Fray Thomas de San Martín

Name, and hence article title
Do you have any citation for the mixed-language version of the name "Fray Thomas de San Martin"? I would expect "Fray Tomás de San Martín", "Friar Thomas of San Martín", maybe even "Friar Thomas of Saint Martin", but "Fray Thomas de San Martin" seems a very odd combination. Again, what is the cited source for this being a correct form of his name? -- Jmabel | Talk 06:26, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

 * With Google, I find two hits for "Fray Thomas de San Martin" versus eighty-five hits for "Fray Tomas de San Martin", among which this profile of him in the Galería de Rectores at the UNSM itself, which appears to have been a source for this article but inexplicably was not included in the external links (now fixed). I think there is a strong case for renaming the article and references to him. -- Viajero 08:49, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Seems like what the kids call a "no-brainer". Moved to Fray Tomás de San Martín. Redirs needed from form of name without the "fray"? –Hajor 14:30, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Hajor. Having noticed that you linked fray to "friar", I am wondering now whether the article shouldn't actually be at Tomás de San Martín. Normally we don't include titles within the article name. (See: Naming conventions (names and titles)). -- Viajero 15:01, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I honestly don't know. I remember getting into a mess here about some Toltec shaman who styled himself as "don" smthg or other. Of course, he published under that name (which would also be the case with Sor Juana and Fray Luis de León), so perhaps the guiding rule there should be "use common names". I really don't know enough about this gent. Your call. (Definitely should have pre-emptive redirects, just in case.) –Hajor 15:14, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Recent modifications
HappyApple 16:20, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The name Tomás was restituted again to Thomas, due to official document in which states the original name of the rector was Thomas and not Tomás. []
 * Excerpt: Don Carlos y Doña Juana &c. Por quanto Fray Thomas de San Martin e obispo de la villa de La Plata, que es en las Provincias del Perú, nos ha hecho relación que él quiere hacer e fundar en el dicho obispado..
 * This document dates back 16th century, from the time of stablisment of UNMSM.
 * Fixed links related to references, and minor enhacements.

 * Here we go again. Why should that document be considered authoratative? On its own website, the UNSM refers to him as Tomás. Unless you can come up with more compelling argument than that, I will return the article to its original location. -- Viajero | Talk 17:00, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I would said that you leave it in the present state, and gives HappyApple the chance to explain this move. It appears that he has some credible documents that support this move. Messhermit 20:18, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Big Trouble (2002 film)

Big Trouble is a 2002 American black comedy film based on the novel Big Trouble by Dave Barry. It was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and featured a large cast including Tim Allen and Rene Russo with Dennis Farina, Zooey Deschanel, Sofia Vergara and Jason Lee in supporting roles. Like much of Dave Barry's fiction, it follows a diverse group of people through a series of extremely strange and humorous situations against the backdrop of Miami. The film was a box-office bomb, and received mixed critical reception.

Plot
In a high-school game of "Killer" (in which a student must shoot another with a squirt gun), Matt Arnold has to "kill" classmate Jenny Herk, so sneaks up on her at home. By coincidence, hitmen are also there to assassinate Arthur Herk, who has embezzled money from his company, Penultimate Corp.

As the fake assassination attempt coincides with the real one, police officers Monica Romero and Walter Kramitz are called out to the resulting disturbance. During the chaos, Matt's friend Andrew calls Eliot Arnold, Matt's father. Picking up Matt, Eliot immediately feels a mutual attraction to Anna Herk, Jenny's mother, and Matt and Jenny are attracted to each other too. Meanwhile, their housemaid Nina falls for Puggy, a young homeless man who lives in a tree on their property. She runs from the shootings and he saves her from the hitmen.

Realizing he is the intended victim, Arthur visits arms dealers to buy a rocket but is sold a suitcase nuclear bomb as the dealer is out of rockets and doesn't tell him what it is. Escaped convicts Snake and Eddie, previously kicked out of the bar for disorderly conduct, hold it up, kidnapping Arthur and Puggy (an employee there) and taking the suitcase, not knowing its contents.

Meanwhile, when Matt tries to "kill" Jenny in a mall parking lot, a security guard thinks his gun is real and opens fire on them. Matt and Jenny run away and eventually return to the Herks', followed by officers Monica and Walter, who stumble across the confusion. Eliot is called over again.

The convicts force Arthur to return home, capture everyone and tie them up. Taking Puggy and Jenny, they leave (with the suitcase) for the airport. Nina, who was hiding in her room, frees everyone but Monica and Arthur (who are handcuffed). Shortly after, the house is visited by two FBI agents tracking the bomb. They free Monica and have her lead them to the airport (Arthur is left tripping on a hallucinogenic toad, believing Martha Stewart has possessed the dog).

The criminals, Puggy and Jenny pass through security, where the bomb is inadvertently triggered and its 45-minute timer begins; Puggy escapes in the confusion of boarding. The FBI agents tell everyone that unless the bomb is retrieved soon, the plane must be shot down. Puggy leads them to the criminals' plane, which Eliot sneaks onto. Meanwhile, the two hitmen get out of the traffic jam (caused by Snake and Eddie) and reach the airport. Bumping into Officer Romero, and Special Agents Greer and Seitz, they knock the hitmen's rifle out of their golf bag in the process. Romero grabs it, renders it useless, and returns it.

Eliot, having sneaked onto the plane, attacks Eddie and Snake with a fire extinguisher. Hearing the case is a bomb, Eliot hurls it out of the open rear door, only for Snake to leap after it. In a feat of dumb luck, Snake manages to cling onto the door's steps. Despite Eliot's insistence that the case is a bomb, Snake opens fire on him, prompting Eliot to pull the emergency lever decoupling the door. Snake plunges into the ocean with a defiant smile, still clinging to the bomb, which explodes safely in the water. Eliot is congratulated by the FBI, promised presidential cowboy boots and a hat, and told the events that took place are strictly top secret.

In the last scene: after chasing down a plane, subduing two criminals, and saving Miami from a nuclear disaster, Eliot finally wins Matt's respect. Anna and Eliot marry a week after she divorces Arthur. Walter, after a forced strip search by the airport guards, becomes a male stripper and marries. The hitmen escape Miami after a series of very weird events. They claim their Miami job was the lowest point in their careers. They were surrounded by the fans of Florida Gators on their plane home (a running joke in the film). Eddie goes back to jail in a prison outside of Jacksonville, becoming friends with another dimwitted inmate who has the same affinity for crude jokes. Arthur is last seen still handcuffed and tormented by his dog.

Cast

 * Tim Allen as Eliot Arnold – A divorced man, fired from his job at the Miami Herald and running a struggling advertising agency. His teenage son Matt thinks he is a loser.
 * Rene Russo as Anna Herk – Jenny's devoted mother and Arthur's wife. She becomes immediately attracted to Eliot upon meeting him.
 * Stanley Tucci as Arthur Herk – A rude and obnoxious man marked for death for embezzling from his company.
 * Ben Foster as Matt Arnold – Eliot's son and the "killer" of Jenny. He also develops a crush on her.
 * Zooey Deschanel as Jenny Herk – Anna's daughter and a classmate of Matt. She is also Matt's target in the school's game "Killer".
 * Tom Sizemore and Johnny Knoxville as "Snake" Dupree and Eddie Leadbetter – Two bumbling ex-convicts.
 * Dennis Farina and Jack Kehler as Henry Desalvo and Leonard Ferroni – Two hitmen hired to kill Arthur for embezzling.
 * Janeane Garofalo as Officer Monica Romero – A competent police officer.
 * Patrick Warburton as Officer Walter Kramitz – Monica's incompetent fellow officer. Asks his partner Romero out on dates even though he is married.
 * Heavy D and Omar Epps as Special Agents Pat Greer and Alan Seitz – Two FBI agents determined to retrieve a missing nuclear bomb.
 * Jason Lee as "Puggy" – A homeless wanderer who loves Fritos and Nina.
 * Sofía Vergara as Nina – The Herks' young Mexican housemaid. She falls in love with Puggy, who she initially mistook for Jesus.
 * Michael McShane as Bruce – The customer from hell who constantly belittles Eliot's advertisement ideas for his products. He suffers several indignities at the hands of other characters during the movie.
 * DJ Qualls as Andrew Ryan – Matt's school friend and witness for when Matt "kills" Jenny.
 * Andy Richter as Jack Pendick – A security guard with a drinking problem. He sees Matt pointing a squirt gun at Jenny and gives chase while shooting at them with his handgun. Richter also plays Rick, Jack's twin brother, an equally incompetent security guard at the airport. (In the novel the two are brothers but not twins.)

Production
Filming took place entirely in Miami, Florida from July 31 to October 2000.

Release
Big Trouble was originally scheduled for release on September 21, 2001, and had a strong advertising push. The September 11 attacks of that year made the film's comedic smuggling of a nuclear device onto an airplane unpalatable. Consequently, the film was pushed back until April 2002, and the promotion campaign was toned down almost to the point of abandonment.

Reception
Big Trouble came quietly to American theaters and left quickly afterwards, receiving mixed reviews and being generally ignored by audiences, becoming a box office bomb. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 48% based on 111 reviews, with an average rating of 5.5/10. The site's consensus is "With its large cast and frantic comic pacing, Big Trouble labors for slapstick-style hilarity, but it never really gains steam." On Metacritic, it has a score of 47% based on reviews from 32 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C+" on an A+ to F scale.

Joe Leydon of Variety called it "A genially amusing ensemble farce that doesn't quite achieve enough momentum for liftoff."

Sime Darby

Sime Darby Berhad (myx: 4197) is a Malaysian trading conglomerate. Its core businesses operate and serve in the industrial, motors and logistics sectors as well as the healthcare, and insurance segments.

Background
The modern Sime Darby Berhad corporation was created in 2007 through a merger of three companies.

Sime, Darby and Co. Limited
In October 1910, British businessmen William Sime and Henry Darby established Sime, Darby and Co., a fledgling player in the lucrative rubber industry. The company later diversified to cultivating palm oil and cocoa and met with enormous success. At the time of the company's founding, William Middleton Sime was a 37-year-old Scottish adventurer and fortune seeker. He had two failed ventures behind him – one in import-export business and the other in coffee plantations – when he left his job as a mercantile assistant in Singapore. Henry Darby was a wealthy 50-year-old English banker who owned property in Northern Malaya.

A senior partner of the audit firm of the Sime Darby group was found dead in September 1973. In two suicide letters, he alleged he was doped and deceived by Dennis Pinder, chairman and managing director of Sime Darby, related to the audit of Sime Darby. Subsequently, Dennis Pinder was alleged that he misappropriated over S$3 million. At that time, Sime Darby was one of the largest companies in Singapore and Malaysia. Pinder was jailed after pleading guilty to criminal breach of trust in October 1975.

In 1977 Sime Darby Holdings was acquired by Malaysian investors – mainly through Tradewinds (Malaysia) Sendirian Berhad. In December 1979 with the incorporation of two new Malaysian entities, Sime Darby Berhad (SDB) and Consolidated Plantations Berhad (CPB), Sime Darby moved its headquarters to Kuala Lumpur and became a Malaysian registered and managed concern.

Guthrie
The company was founded in Singapore in 1821 by Alexander Guthrie. It was the first British trading company in South East Asia. Guthrie introduced rubber and oil palm in Malaysia in 1896 and 1924 respectively. Guthrie Group was made a public company in 1987 and was subsequently listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) in 1989 in what was then the largest public issue in Malaysia.

Golden Hope
In 1905 Harrisons and Crosfield, a British tea and coffee trading company, purchased several small estates in Malaysia for £50,000 and amalgamated them to form the Golden Hope Rubber Estate. In 1982 Harrisons and Crosfield sold three large plantation groups – Golden Hope, Pataling, and London Asiatic – to Malaysian concerns for £146 million. The business was renamed Golden Hope Plantations Berhad in 1990 after Pemodalan Nasional Berhad took majority equity of the company. Its interests originally were in tropical agriculture but, while plantations have remained a core business interest, the company has diversified into other areas including glycerine manufacture, fruit juices and real estate. The group now has 83 subsidiaries based in seven countries. The main estate and plantations are Carey Island and Banting in Selangor.

Merger
In January 2007, the "three Malaysian giants": Sime Darby, Guthrie and Golden Hope, merged into the vehicle entity named Synergy Drive and on 27 November 2007, Synergy Drive was renamed Sime Darby Berhad. Sime Darby had a land bank of 850,000 hectares in 2011. The Malaysian government-linked company Amanah Saham was the largest stakeholder in 2011, followed by the government's Employees Provident Fund and the government-run Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB, the national capitalization agency). CEO of the firm was Datuk Mohd Bakke Saleh, who was also the CEO of Bank Islam, another government-linked company, in 2010.

Listing of Sime Darby Plantation and Sime Darby Property
In November 2017, Sime Darby Berhad listed its subsidiaries, Sime Darby Plantation Berhad and Sime Darby Property Berhad on the Bursa Malaysia’s Main Market, creating three distinct pure-play companies. The demerger of the giant into separate “pure plays” aimed to unlock the value of the companies and provides the visibility on each firm’s performance. Jeffri Salim Davidson is the current group chief executive officer, Mustamir Muhamad is the chief financial officer and Datuk Thomas Leong Yew Hong is the group chief strategy officer. Permodalan Nasional Berhad has a 52% stake in Sime Darby Bhd.

Industrial and motor divisions
Sime Darby is an international conglomerate involved in many types of businesses. Its industrial and motor divisions are the main revenue generators of the business.

Healthcare
Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care Sdn Bhd (RSDH) is a 50:50 joint venture owned by Sime Darby and ASX-listed Ramsay Health Care.

In Malaysia RSDH owns and operates three hospitals: Subang Jaya Medical Centre, Ara Damansara Medical Centre and ParkCity Medical Centre.

While in neighbouring Indonesia, the company owns and operates two hospitals in Jakarta: RS Premier Bintaro and RS Premier Jatinegara and another RS Premier Surabaya which is located in Surabaya, the capital of East Java.

Other businesses
Sime Darby Global Services Centre has 510 employees and provides services such as human resource management, finance, procurement services and IT to operating units in the Sime Darby Group. Some of these services include the processing of account payables and receivables, book keeping services, human resource administration and payroll services, procurement services (sourcing and vendor registration), corporate card services as well as information technology services (such as server hosting). In May 2019, Sime Darby Berhad’s Global Services Centre was acquired by DXC Technology.

Sime Darby Lockton Insurance Brokers Sdn Bhd (26364-U) is an approved insurance broker under Financial Services Act 2013 and regulated by Bank Negara Malaysia. The company provides risk management, insurance and takaful solutions. Sime Darby Berhad has a 60% stake in Sime Darby Lockton Insurance Brokers Sdn Bhd, via its subsidiary, Sime Darby Allied Products Berhad. Lockton Overseas Limited owns the remaining 40% stake.

Eastern and Oriental stake
In August 2011, Sime Darby purchased a 30% stake in Penang-based property developer Eastern and Oriental Bhd (E&O) for RM766 million or RM2.30 per share. It was made at a 60% premium to the market price then from three shareholders – E&O managing director Terry Tham, prominent businessman Wan Azmi Wan Hamzah and Singapore stockbroking group GK Goh Holdings Ltd.

In 2014, Sime Darby sold 110 million ordinary stock units of RM1 each in Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O) to Morning Crest Sdn Bhd for RM319 million or RM2.90 per stock. Upon completion of the sale, Sime Darby's equity stake in E&O reduced to about 22% (excluding treasury stocks).

In 2016, Sime Darby who then owned a 22.2% stake in E&O sold a 10% stake for RM323.3mil or RM2.45 per share to E&O group managing director Datuk Seri Terry Tham.

Tesco Malaysia stake
Until 2020, Sime Darby held a 30% stake in Tesco Malaysia (M) Sdn. Bhd., one of the largest food retailer chains in the country with over 60 locations in Malaysia.

In April 2020, it was announced that the company's stake would be divested for proceeds of RM300 million following the sale of the chain to Thailand-based Charoen Pokphand, which subsequently rebranded all Tesco Malaysia locations with the Lotus's name. The divestment, marking Sime Darby's exit from the hypermarket business, was part of its wider move to rationalise non-core assets.

Corporate social responsibility
Yayasan Sime Darby is the philanthropic arm of Sime Darby. Sime Darby Bhd agreed to contribute RM 20 million annually to Yayasan Sime Darby (Sime Darby Foundation) for 5 years from November 2017.

Asterix and Cleopatra
Will do. Unfortunately, a synopsis from the back of the book actually can't be added here, as it is a copyright violation. But I will fix up the content there now right away. Thanks and welcome. Christopher Parham (talk) 06:46, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks alright to me now. Christopher Parham (talk) 06:51, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The main problem with the copyrights, as I understand it, is that the license used by Wikipedia, the GFDL, allows for free modification of the content. We can't assume that the publishers of the book have released the content of the blurb under this license or an equivalently acceptable free license; indeed, they probably haven't done so, since they would want to protect their text from undesirable or unflattering parodies, etc. Reasonable quotes from the blurb would be admissable but certainly not the entirety of it. I am not a lawyer, however; see Copyrights for more detailed information. Christopher Parham (talk) 07:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Morituri te salutant
I've added the "prod" template to the article Morituri te salutant, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Morituri te salutant. If you remove the dated prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --24fan24 04:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll change it to a afd tag so we can let the community decide.
 * Please share your opinion on the article here

Asterix languages
I'm revert your last change to Asterix - While some have been translated into Latin (22) and Ancient Greek (actually Attic Greek - the modern version of Ancient Greek -- only has 4 volumes translated), the languages mentioned as having "most" albums translated (including modern Greek) have at least 30 (90%) of the albums translated -- several other languages have more than 22 translations btw ... I will add esperanto (5) to the first list though, as one to show the scope of interest ^_^ ... --Invisifan 23:30, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * you need to be careful editing large articles, depending on a number of factors (apparently aggravated by the Google toolbar if you use it) the article can be cut short accidentally ... As to the actual edit -- better ... I really don't think moving Latin, etc to the bottom of the paragraph is the best though ... "Some of the albums are also available in ... "  could include about 60 languages and there's really no reason to pick one over another -- where it was it indicated the vast diversity of the translations (essentially dead languages dating to the period the stories are set in, through modern artificial languages)... Also (while I understand the desire) including hindi (6 albums) essentially opens the door for every modern language a few albums have ever been translated too:  Turkish (30, Korean (24) & Farsi (8) have as good or better claim ... My criteria for the language list was more than 90% (ie. 30 albums) so Turkish should probably be in it (I'll add it actually -- Indonesian has the same number) ... Think about it.--Invisifan 10:28, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Okay, I think the original placement is best, but I see your point about the wording .. I've changed that slightly for clarity - does that make more sense? --Invisifan 11:23, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Asterix templates
First point: the template INCLUDES the category, so I'm reverting your separations of the two -- it's redundant. Secondly I'm not sure I agree about splitting the template in two ... for one thing the films that are not strictly based on single books like Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and Cleopatra and Asterix in Britain all have "book of the film" albums, and therefore still belong in the template - for another it seems divisive to have multiple Asterix temples - why not one-stop shopping? give the books options of checking the movies & vice versa --Invisifan 10:51, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The only films without novelizations are Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and Cleopatra and Asterix in Britain which were adapted closely enough that no novelization was required... (they also have no articles other than the Albums as well). I can modify the template to put things into that correct category, that's not a problem, just a bit of work -- I'll do it later today.  Your category goes to edit because there's no actual page  reference for it even though things refer to it... --Invisifan 17:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Asterix recurring images
with them the way they were all 3 Main characters were consistently thumbnails ... when they aren't thumbnails Asterix' & Obelix' images are not transparent (as the rest are) and Obelix' image is much too big.--Invisifan 22:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Asterix' & Obelix' sizes look better (but you made Dogmatix larger - and in GIF format he won't resize well - particularly smaller). The transparency issue with Obelix is that his image has a background (white, so not everyone will notice, but not everyone uses white as a background colour). I don't really care where the image comes from, just that it's representative of the character. Paint is inferior, but there are many options without going to overpriced options like Photoshop -- in any event I can fix it if you like, I'm just hesitant to replace most existing images unless I feel really strongly about it. by the way I'd leave the pirates as thumb - for 2 reasons: (1) they have backgrounds, so the border is more appropriate, and (2) it allows a caption so you can indicate who's who.--
 * explaining it... well, there are 2 ways to do it, and it only really works for GIF and PNG image formats... you can mark a colour as transparent in the image when you save it (GIF or PNG) -- it's crude, but effective enough if the image is sufficiently clean (Irfanview (a freeware image viewer) can save like that and even PAINT is adequate to do clean up (though it can be tedious) ... the better method (PNG only) is to use alpha-channel transparency but you need good graphics software for it (Photoshop does it of course, but Paint Shop Pro is more affordable, or the GIMP is free, and there are others) ... Anyway there are dozens out there on the web or I can make a custom one in a few minutes (I just, as I said, hesitate to replace existing images)--Invisifan 10:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Asterix-pirates-3.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Asterix-pirates-3.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:07, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Asterix-pirates-3.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Asterix-pirates-3.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 11:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

June 2008
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to move by copying its content and pasting it into. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:49, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Gidday Cookie,

I assume that you are the same user who's been making similar edits to Laura Bush for the last few days. You don't have to create a new user for each edit; just because I and some others disagree with your edits doesn't mean you can't make them; so long as you observe the rules of no more than 3 reverts in a day, and be polite, a disagreement won't result in your being blocked. The most productive thing you can do is to discuss your changes on the talk page. We may be able to come up with a version that leaves everyone happy.-gadfium 06:33, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Shocker...
I was surprised at the state of this article, it being such a big part of Pokémon's history. I would be glad to help out with it, but is there a wikipedian who actually has been to the park? It would be great if we could get them to help out. --Superpika66 15:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Shire Highlands

The Shire Highlands are a plateau in southern Malawi, located east of the Shire River. It is a major agricultural area and the most densely populated part of the country.

Geography
The highlands cover an area of roughly 7250 square kilometers. the plateau varies in elevation from 600 to 1100 meters, with various hills and mountains rising higher. The highest peak is Zomba Mountain at 2087 meters. The highlands are bounded on the west and south by the valley of the Shire River, an extension of the African Rift Valley. The Phalombe Plain slopes gently towards Lake Chilwa to the northeast, and separates the highlands from the taller Mulanje Massif to the east. Streams originating in the highlands drain west, south, and southeast towards the Shire River, or northeast into the closed basin of Lake Chilwa.

The highlands have a cooler climate and more rainfall than the surrounding lowlands, and are home to distinct forests, woodlands, and grasslands that make up the South Malawi montane forest-grassland mosaic.

The northernmost portion of the plateau includes a line of hills – Chinduzi, Mongolowe, Chaone, and Chikala – that extend 40 km east and west. The taller Zomba Plateau south of them. The northern hills are made up of syenite and nepheline syenite, and the Zomba plateau is made up of syenite and quartz syenite, which intruded into the much older Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks that compose much of the highlands. The central portion includes numerous hills and mountains, including Chiradzulu (1774 m), Ndirande (1613 m), Soche (1533 m), and Michiru (1474 m). Thyolo Mountain lies at the southern end of the highlands.

People
Yao are the predominant people of the northern highlands, and Chewa people in the center and south. The Lomwe people also live in the highlands.

Blantyre is the largest city in the highlands. Zomba is the second-largest, and served as the capital of Nyasaland and independent Malawi until 1975. Thyolo is a center of tea production.

History
Archeological evidence shows the highlands have been populated for thousands of years.

In the middle of the 19th century, Yao people migrated eastwards from the northern Mozambican coast, and established chiefdoms in the highlands – Malemia (Domasi), Mlumbe (Zomba), Kawinga (Chikala), Mpama (Chiradzulu), and Kapeni and Somba (in Blantyre District). The Yao chiefs were involved in the trade of ivory and slaves, centered on the Mozambican port of Quelimane. With encouragement and assistance from David Livingstone during his second Zambesi expedition, in 1861 Bishop Charles Mackenzie of the Universities' Mission to Central Africa set up a missionary station at Magomero, near Zomba in the highlands. After Mackenzie died in 1863, the mission was withdrawn. Later in the 19th century more British missions and plantations were established, expanding British influence in the highlands. In 1891 Harry Johnston was appointed Commissioner and Consul General to the British Central Africa Protectorate, the territories in the British sphere of influence north of the Zambezi River. Johnston set up a headquarters at Zomba, and between 1891 and 1895 subordinated the Yao chiefs to British rule, often by force. Johnston abolished the slave trade, and allowed British missionaries and settlers to lay claim to large tracts of the highlands. By 1894, Johnston had granted 'certificates of claim' to a handful of British settlers, missionaries, and private companies, granting them freehold property rights to 3776 km2, or over half the total area of the highlands. In addition to private lands, Johnston established public or crown lands that included forest reserves, and African trust lands, held by the colonial state for customary use by the native people. Public lands and trust lands were later opened up to leaseholds of up to 99 years, effectively privatizing some of them.

The Shire Highlands Railway Company built a railway across the highlands between 1903 and 1907, from Blantyre in the highlands to the river port of Chiromo, on the Shire River where it meets the Ruo. The railway was later extended north from Blantyre to Salima in central Malawi, south from Chiromo to Port Herald (present day Nsanje) in 1908, and from Port Herald to the Mozambican river port of Chindio on the Zambezi River in 1914.

From the late 19th century, tobacco, cotton, and coffee were grown for export. Coffee growing declined in importance by 1900, displaced by drought and competition with Brazilian coffee growers. Tea plantations were established in the highlands in the 1930s, first around Thyolo where the climate and soils were most favorable. Tea is still economically important in the highlands. Other important crops include tung oil, tobacco, peanuts (groundnuts), and maize (corn).
