Edinburgh Leith (UK Parliament constituency)

Edinburgh Leith was a burgh constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1950 to 1997. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

There was also an earlier Leith constituency, 1918 to 1950, and a yet earlier Leith Burghs constituency, 1832 to 1918.

1950 to 1955
The constituency was first defined by the House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1949, and first used in the 1950 general election, as one of seven constituencies covering the city of Edinburgh and the Midlothian burgh of Musselburgh. The other six constituencies were Edinburgh Central, Edinburgh East, Edinburgh North, Edinburgh Pentlands, Edinburgh South, and Edinburgh West, and the rest of the county of Midlothian was covered by the Midlothian and Peebles constituency, which also covered the county of Peebles.

The Edinburgh Leith constituency was entirely within the city, and covered the Central Leith, South Leith, and West Leith wards. Therefore, the area of the constituency was similar to that of the former burgh of Leith, as merged into the city in 1920.

1950 boundaries were used also for the 1951 general election.

1955 to 1983
The results of the First Periodical Review of the Boundary Commission were implemented for the 1955 general election, and Edinburgh Leith was again one of seven constituencies covering the city of Edinburgh and the burgh of Musselburgh, all named as during the 1950 to 1955 period. The rest of the county of Midlothian was now covered, however, by the new Midlothian constituency.

The Edinburgh Leith constituency again covered wards named Central Leith, South Leith, and West Leith, but the overall boundary of the constituency was different.

For the county of Midlothian, inclusive of the city of Edinburgh, the general pattern established by the First Periodical Review was maintained for the general elections of 1959, 1964, 1966, 1970, February 1974, October 1974 and 1979. There were boundary adjustments, however, which became effective for the 1964 election and, as a result of the Second Periodical Review, for the February 1974 election.

Edinburgh Leith was not affected by the 1964 changes. For the February 1974 election, the constituency was designed to cover the Central Leith, South Leith, and West Leith wards and part of the Pilton ward of city.

1983 to 1997
The results of the Third Periodical Review, which took account of the abolition of Scottish counties and burghs in 1975 and the creation of two-tier regions and districts and unitary islands council areas under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, were implemented for the 1983 general election, and 1983 boundaries were used also in the general elections of 1987 and 1992.

Between 1983 and 1997 the electoral wards used to create Edinburgh Leith were 12–14, 17, and 18, and part of 23

As a result of the Fourth Periodical Review, Edinburgh Leith was abolished, and Edinburgh North and Leith was created for the 1997 general election.

Zit to Spit
An anonymous contributor has stated that Zit & Spit were involved in legal action. However several characters appear in both comics. I suspect that the company which bought Zit out also owned Spit and so just absorbed the best characters. Does anyone know more about this? --Vodex 21:26, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 9 years later, but, no, that's not the case. Zit lost the case they brought against Spit, for "passing off", basically accusing Spit of being an imitation. They lost. Both comics carried on for a few years after, Spit in particular limping on for ages with a complete lack of artists (just the one guy, the editor, drawing nearly all of them, and they weren't funny!) and readers.

 * Much of what's known of Zit online seems to be based on the original research of one person who only read one or two copies of the early issues. A little while through, they had a complete change of management, and a lot of new artists and strips ended up in there too. The later comic is much, much, better than the tatty ripoff it started off as. I believe Russel Church had nothing to do with it after the early, rubbish, days. 188.29.164.148 (talk) 23:21, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Volodymyr Vynnychenko

Volodymyr Kyrylovych Vynnychenko (July 28 1880 – March 6, 1951) was a Ukrainian statesman, political activist, writer, playwright and artist who served as the first prime minister of the Ukrainian People's Republic.

As a writer, Vynnychenko is recognized in Ukrainian literature as a leading modernist writer in pre-revolutionary Ukraine, who wrote short stories, novels, and plays, but in Soviet Ukraine his works were forbidden, like that of many other Ukrainian writers, from the 1930s until the mid-1980s. Prior to his entry onto the stage of Ukrainian politics, he was a long-time political activist, who lived abroad in Western Europe from 1906 to 1914. His works reflect his immersion in the Ukrainian revolutionary milieu, among impoverished and working-class people, and among émigrés from the Russian Empire living in Western Europe.

Early life
Vynnychenko was born in a village, Vesely Kut (today – Hryhorivka, Novoukrainka Raion), in the Kherson Governorate of the Russian Empire, in a family of peasants. His father Kyrylo Vasyliovych Vynnychenko earlier in his life was a peasant-serf who moved from a village to the city of Yelisavetgrad, where he married a widow, Yevdokia Pavlenko (nee: Linnyk). From her previous marriage Yevdokia had three children: Andriy, Maria, and Vasyl, while from the marriage with Kyrylo only one son, Volodymyr. Upon graduating from a local public school the Vynnychenko family managed to enroll Volodymyr at the Yelyzavetgrad Male Gymnasium (today the building of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine). In later grades of the gymnasium he took part in a revolutionary organization and wrote a revolutionary poem for which he was incarcerated for a week and excluded from school. That did not stop him from continuing his studies as he was getting prepared for his test to obtain the high school diploma (Matura). He successfully took the test in the Zlatopil gymnasium from which obtained his attestation of maturity.

In 1900 Vynnychenko joined the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party (RUP) and enrolled in the law department at Kiev University, but in 1902 or 1903 he was expelled for participation in revolutionary activities. As a member of the RUP he provided political agitation and propaganda among the Kievan workers and peasants from Poltava and was jailed for several months in Lukyanivska Prison. He managed to escape from his incarceration. In 1902 Vynnychenko published in "Kievskaya starina" his first novel "Beauty and strength", after which he became known as a writer. Afterward, due to a new arrest he was forcibly drafted into a punitive battalion in the Russian Imperial army where he began to agitate soldiers with revolutionary propaganda. Tipped off that his arrest was imminent, Vynnychenko illegally fled to eastern Galicia, Austria-Hungary. When trying to return to Russian Ukraine with revolutionary literature, Vynnychenko was arrested and jailed in Kiev for two years with a threat to spend the rest of his life in katorga. After his release in 1905, he passed his exams for a law degree in Kiev University.

In 1906 Vynnychenko was arrested for a third time, again for his political activities, and jailed for a year; before his scheduled trial, however, the wealthy patron of Ukrainian literature and culture, Yevhen Chykalenko, paid his bail, and Vynnychenko fled Ukraine again, effectively becoming an émigré writer abroad from 1907 to 1914, living in Lemberg (Lviv), Vienna, Geneva, Paris, Florence, Berlin. In 1911 Vynnychenko married Rosalia Lifshitz, a French Jewish doctor. From 1914 to 1917 Vynnychenko lived illegally near Moscow throughout much of World War I and returned to Kiev in 1917 to assume a leading role in Ukrainian politics.

Ideas about the Ukrainian nation
Vynnychenko’s political awakening arose, he claimed, at the intersection of social and national experience. Writing in his diary in 1919, he recalled that “from the time the landowner Bodisko beat my father on his estate, fooled him, exploited him, chased him from his plot into the field, where I was tending livestock, from that moment I already took into my soul the seed of hatred for social exploitation, for Bodiskos of all types.” Other youthful experiences added feelings of national humiliation and anger to these social emotions. He recalled, for example, how, as a gymnasium student, teachers and other students (“young gentlemen”) treated him as a “little muzhik” [peasant] and a “little khokhol” [a derisive term for Ukrainian]. Vynnychenko demanded respect and recognition for Ukraine and Ukrainians as a nation. In 1913, he published in Russian an “Open Letter to Russian Writers” that criticized the “unconscious” tendency in a great deal of Russian literature to stereotype Ukrainians and others. The Ukrainian characters who appear in Russian literature, he argued, are much like the stereotypes of Jews and Armenians that Russians also have “a weakness for.” “Always and everywhere [in Russian literature] the ‘khokhol’ is a little stupid, a little cunning, a little lazy, melancholic and sometimes good-natured.” These stereotypes are “shameful” not only for Ukrainians whose equal humanity is not recognized but for Russian writers themselves and Russian literature.

During the First World War, which brought fighting and occupation onto Ukrainian lands, Vynnychenko rhetorically wondered why our “brother” Russians show little concern with the suffering of Ukrainians? Why does “the love among Ukrainians for their own nation [narod] and sorrow for its fate elicit…wrath, indignation, and feelings of spite, or, at best, sarcasm or indifference?” The answer, he argued (writing in Russian, so again addressing Russians as much as Ukrainians), is that Ukrainians are becoming strong and aware as a nation, and “they fear us.” But nothing can stop the development of Ukrainian “consciousness,” he declared, which is already manifest in its intelligentsia. “Just as you cannot stop the formation of clouds, arising from the earth and returning to it, so it is impossible to stop the formation of a nationally conscious stratum in a people. We emerge from the raw earth, from the soil, from the depths of our nation, and we again return to it, and we again arise.”

Vynnychenko believed that it was not enough to change structures of power in freeing the Ukrainian nation. Liberation demanded changes in people’s mentalities and values, in their moral and spiritual lives, in their selves. A true revolution needed to be, Vynnychenko insisted, all-sided, all-embracing, universal liberation (vsebichne vyzvolennia). To explore and promote this vision, he examined in his fiction questions of sexuality, emotion, will, and character. Ultimately, the point was to ask the most important question: how to realize a fully human and fully free personality, especially in the face of the crushing conditions and legacies of unfreedom?

Head of first Ukrainian government
After the February Revolution in Russia in 1917, Vynnychenko served as the head of the General Secretariat, a representative executive body of the Russian Provisional Government in Ukraine. He was authorized by the Central Rada of Ukraine (a de facto parliament) to conduct negotiations with the Russian Provisional Government, 1917. Vynnychenko resigned his post in the General Secretariat on August 13 in protest against the Russian government's rejection of the Universal of Central Rada. For a brief period he was replaced by Dmytro Doroshenko who composed a new government the next day, yet unexpectedly he requested his resignation as well on August 18. Vynnychenko was offered to return, form a cabinet and redesign the Second Universal to petition a federal union with the Russian Republic. His second government was confirmed by Alexander Kerensky on September 1.

It is often claimed that the political mistakes of Vynnychenko and Mykhailo Hrushevsky cost the newly established Ukrainian People's Republic its independence. Both men were strongly opposed to the creation of the army of the Republic and repeatedly denied the requests by Symon Petliura to use his volunteer forces as the core of a would-be army (see Polubotok Regiment Affair).

After the October Revolution and the Kiev Bolshevik uprising many of his secretaries resigned after the Central Rada disapproved the Bolsheviks' actions in Petrograd with the ongoing confrontations in Moscow as well as the other cities in the country. On January 22, 1918, the Ukrainian People's Republic proclaimed its independence because of the Bolshevik intervention headed by Antonov-Ovseyenko. The country was squeezed between the abandoned German-Russian frontlines to its western border and the advancing Bolshevik forces of Muravyov along the eastern border. Within days, Mikhail Muravyov managed to invade Kiev, forcing the government to evacuate to Zhytomyr whose retreat was secured by the efforts of the Yevhen Konovalets Sich Riflemen. During the evacuation, the Ukrainian government managed to secure military assistance in the face of the Central Powers. The government signed the highly-criticised treaty with the Germans to repel the Bolshevik forces in exchange for a right to expropriate food supplies. That treaty also required the Soviet Russia to recognise the Ukrainian People's Republic. Around then, Vynnychenko's government established an economic agreement with the government of the Belarus People's Republic through the Belarus Chamber of Commerce in Kiev. However, Vynnychenko's was replaced as well by the Socialist-Revolutionary government of Vsevolod Holubovych.

After the coup d'état of Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky in collaboration with the German occupation forces in April 1918, Vynnychenko left Kiev. Later, after forming the Directorate of Ukraine, he took an active part in organizing a revolt against the Hetman. The revolt was successful and Vynnychenko returned to the capital on December 19, 1918. The Directorate, a temporary executive council of five, proclaimed the restoration of the Ukrainian People's Republic. The Directorate was put in charge by the Labour Congress until the Ukrainian Constituent Assembly would convene to elect a permanent body of government.

Resignation
Vynnychenko, unable to restore order or to overcome his disagreement with Petliura, stepped down on February 10, 1919 and emigrated abroad. In a brief period in Vienna in 1920, he wrote his three-volume "Rebirth of the Nation". At the same time, at the end of 1919, Vynnychenko resigned from the Ukrainian Social Democratic Labour Party and formed the Foreign Group of Ukrainian Communists.

Soviet Ukraine
He formed the Foreign Group of the Ukrainian Communist Party, which was mainly made up of other former members of the Ukrainian Social-Democratic Party, to promulgate this position. In June 1920 Vynnychenko himself travelled to Moscow in an attempt to come to an agreement with the Bolsheviks. After four months of unsuccessful negotiations, Vynnychenko had become disillusioned with the Bolsheviks: he accused them of Great Russian Chauvinism and insincerity as socialists. In September 1920 he returned to émigré life, where he revealed his impressions of Bolshevik rule. This action produced a split in the Foreign Group of the Ukrainian Communist Party: some remained pro-Bolshevik and indeed returned to Soviet Ukraine; others supported Vynnychenko, and with him conducted a campaign against the Soviet regime in their organ Nova Doba ("New Era").

Exile
Vynnychenko spent 30 years in Europe, residing in Germany in the 1920s and then moving to France. As an émigré, Vynnychenko resumed his career as a writer. In 1919, his works were republished in an eleven-volume edition in the 1920s. In 1934, Vynnychenko moved from Paris to Mougins, near Cannes, on the Mediterranean coast, where he lived on a homestead type residence as a self-supporting farmer and continued to write, notably a philosophical exposition of his ideas about happiness, Concordism. Vynnychenko called his place Zakoutok.

During the German occupation of France, for refusing to cooperate with the Nazis, Vynnychenko was thrown into a concentration camp, which effected his health severely. After the end of the war, he called for general disarmament and peaceful coexistence of the East and West.

He died in Mougins, near Cannes, France in 1951. Rosalia Lifshitz after her death passed the estate to Ivanna Vynnykiv-Nyzhnyk (1912–1993), who emigrated to France after World War II and lived with Vynnychenko since 1948.

Legacy
Vynnychenko is still somewhat famous in Ukraine. Vynnychenko has not been as popular as Mykhailo Hrushevsky as a political figure, but is widely known as writer; his work was adapted for screen numerous times since the 1990s by Dovzhenko Film Studios directors.

Vynnychenko's archives are housed in Columbia University, New York City and supervised by a commission of the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Bias?
Should the synopsis be this biased? It is not the place of a synopsis to inform the readers that the exposition is "clumsy", etc.

No, it should not - if you ever see anything that violates WP:NPOV either delete it or rephrase it to make it nonbiased. -- Gizzakk 06:34, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I’d also question the assertion: “Although among Hugo's most obscure works…” On what basis is such a statement made…? It certainly is remembered today, if only for the film adaptation, and by association, the development of the look of The Joker. Perhaps it wasn’t successful in Hugo’s day, or was a comparative failure compared to the success/ sales of his other works - I don’t know, but as it stands it sounds un-encyclopædic to me… 86.136.164.71 (talk) 16:49, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Inspiration for the Joker, side comment
I have something of a problem with comparing the Joker to Hannibal Lecter, but am hesitant to simply delete the comment out of hand. Other than the level of amoral genius both characters have, I don't really see any resemblance. If there's any agreement with my reservation, then I'll happily put my name on the edit.

Eliminated enormous bias
This article has to be one of the most biased on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not the place for a book review, and some of the "facts" listed in the summary were simply wrong. This part was particularly amusing:

"Although there are passages of great power in The Man Who Laughs, there are also long passages of excess verbiage and barely relevant asides, with poorly-realised subsidiary characters who ultimately have no relevance to the plot. Among the novel's major weaknesses is the very poor definition of the main female character, Dea. Whatever Hugo's intentions may have been, Dea is a collection of frailties rather than a person. In the firm tradition of Little Nell (from Charles Dickens's The Old Curiosity Shop), Little Eva (from Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin) and Beth March (from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women), Dea is one of those waif-like Victorian ingenues who seem to exist for the sole purpose of having a climactic death scene."

It is also wrong. I did an extensive clean-up on this article. LaszloWalrus 09:50, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Probable false information about F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre
The unsourced paragraph under "Allusions" about Jerzy Kosinski's Pinball is almost certainly false. "After Kosinski's death, it was determined that at least two uncredited “ghost writers” made substantial contributions to this novel and other works credited to Kosinski"— this is an inaccurate description of the case that was made during Kosinski's life (and which may have contributed to his suicide) that he was not the sole author of his works, which dates back to the early 1980s. Despite being made in various forms over the years, there has never been a definitive answer on this subject and the claim that two other authors have been definitively credited with his work is simply false. Furthermore, the author mentioned, F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre, though a writer of some small renown, was also a known hoaxer and fabulist who almost certainly invented the claim that he was one of Kosinski's ghost writers, based simply on the coincidence of the name Gwynplaine being used in the book. (Surely Kosinski's editors would not allow such an obvious clue to be slipped in by one of the secret ghost-writers!)Mgmax (talk) 22:56, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I edited, according to the wiki article about Victor Hugo
"After leaving France, Hugo lived in Brussels briefly in 1851, before moving to the Channel Islands, first to Jersey (1852–1855) and then to the smaller island of Guernsey in 1855, where he stayed until 1870." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.43.28.55 (talk) 20:22, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Plot oddities
I've noticed some details in the plot summary that are not mentioned in the book: 'By touching his face, Dea concludes that Gwynplaine is perpetually happy'; 'Gwynplaine keeps the lower half of his face concealed'; and two more that contravene the book: 'Ursus is initially horrified, then moved to pity, and he takes them in'. Ursus adopts Gwynplaine and Dea first, and in the morning only he makes out that Gwynplaine is disfigured; 'A flashback relates the doctor's story'. There are no such flashback! So, could anybody explain me where these details were found and why they are still not removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.32.66.177 (talk) 18:44, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Confessio Fraternitatis

The Confessio Fraternitatis (Confessio oder Bekenntnis der Societät und Bruderschaft Rosenkreuz), or simply The Confessio, printed in Kassel (Germany) in 1615, is the second anonymous manifestos, of a trio of Rosicrucian pamphlets, declaring the existence of a secret brotherhood of alchemists and sages who were interpreted, by the society of those times, to be preparing to transform the political and intellectual landscape of Europe.

The book is considered to be one of the three foundational manifestos of Rosicrucianism, and inspired Rosicrucian organizations such as Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross (1750s–1790s) and Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (1865–present).

 * "God hath certainly and most assuredly concluded to send and grant to the world before her end, which presently thereupon shall ensue, such a truth, light, life, and glory, as the first man Adam had, which he lost in Paradise, after which his successors were put and driven, with him, to misery. Wherefore there shall cease all servitude, falsehood, lies, and darkness, which by little and little, with the great world's revolution, was crept into all arts, works, and governments of men, and have darkened the most part of them. For from thence are proceeded an innumerable sort of all manner of false opinions and heresies, that scarce the wisest of all was able to know whose doctrine and opinion he should follow and embrace, and could not well and easily be discerned; seeing on the one part they were detained, hindered, and brought into errors through the respect of the philosophers and learned men, and on the other part through true experience. All the which, when it shall once be abolished and removed, and instead thereof a right and true rule instituted, then there will remain thanks unto them which have taken pains therein. But the work itself shall be attributed to the blessedness of our age."

Signs related to the beginning of the "age" which brings the "Reformation of Mankind", first Manifesto, are described at this second Manifesto as following:

 * "But we confess, and witness openly with the Lord Jesus Christ, that it shall first happen that the stones shall arise, and offer their service, before there shall be any want of executors and accomplishers of God's counsel; yea, the Lord God hath already sent before certain messengers, which should testify his will, to wit, some new stars, which do appear and are seen in the firmament in Serpentario and Cygno, which signify and give themselves known to everyone, that they are powerful Signacula of great weighty matters. (...) Now there remains yet that which in short time, honour shall be likewise given to the tongue, and by the same; what before times hath been seen, heard, and smelt, now finally shall be spoken and uttered forth, when the World shall awake out of her heavy and drowsy sleep, and with an open heart, bare-head, and bare-foot, shall merrily and joyfully meet the new arising Sun."

The Confessio is a breviary about "the true Philosophy", it completes the earlier manifesto (Fama Fraternitatis, 1614) and in some way it comes to justify it, defending it from the voices and accusations already launched to the mysterious Brothers of the "Fraternity of the Rose Cross".

According to the Confessio a fundamental requisite to achieve this esoteric knowledge is "that we be earnest to attain to the understanding and knowledge of philosophy" and the Rosicrucian Brothers describe themselves as Christian ("What think you, loving people, and how seem you affected, seeing that you now understand and know, that we acknowledge ourselves truly and sincerely to profess Christ") and recommended readers to "addict ourselves to the true Philosophy, lead a Christian life".

It was immensely popular being reprinted several times and translated into several languages. Its author remains anonymous. Many historical figures have been attributed its authorship, including Francis Bacon.

Trish (Devil May Cry)

Trish (トリッシュ) is a character in Devil May Cry, an action-adventure hack and slash shoot em up video game series by Japanese developer and publisher Capcom. She debuted in the first installment of the series, released in 2001. A demon taking a female human form, the mother of Dante, Eva, Trish seeks the aid of protagonist Dante in eliminating her creator, Mundus. Besides being a supporting character in subsequent games, she also appears in the other titles created by Capcom.

Hideki Kamiya, with the support of the other designers at Capcom, created Trish. Her long hair caused difficulties for 3D and motion graphic designers; this aspect of her character was revised on multiple occasions: in Devil May Cry 4 (2008), Trish adopted the alter-ego Gloria, which also proved difficult to design. Developers designed Gloria as a sexually explicit character to appeal to the franchise's casual fan-base, though they sought to avoid any vulgarity. Various voice actors have voiced the character throughout the series, including Sarah Lafleur, Luci Christian and Atsuko Tanaka.

Critical reception of Trish has been mostly positive. Reviewers have praised her role in the story, her design, and her relationship with the cast explored in the franchise. Despite the criticism of her movesets in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition (2015), her inclusion in that game and in the fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds / Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (2011) as a playable character have received positive responses.

Creation and design
Created as the heroine of Devil May Cry, her long hair caused extensive problems for designers when creating her 3D model, most notably during the ending sequence. Motion designer Tomoya Othsubo said making Trish's hairstyle was challenging due its movements in-game; the designers had to add multiple joints to her strands of hair, a process which Othsubo described as a "nightmare". Sawaki Takeyasu, the main artist for Trish, said that she was the first human-like character he had made. Trish was named after Beatrice Portinari from the Divine Comedy. When asked about the relationship between Dante and Trish, Hideki Kamiya stated their bond was more than love.

Character designer Daigo Ikeno stated that for Devil May Cry 2, the team aimed for a contrast between Trish and that game's new heroine, Lucia, making them look as though they were from different races. Hiroyuki Nara was responsible for Trish's inclusion in the game as an unlockable character, and borrowed elements and fight moves from Dante's campaign in the original Devil May Cry for her gameplay in Devil May Cry 2. Nara apologized to the team that created the first game due to the poor quality the sequel had. Nara said multiple designers helped him during the making of Trish's appearance, including in the creation of the flame effects used for her moves. According to Nara, since Devil May Cry 2 had received a negative response from fans and critics, he wanted to redeem himself with the next game, Devil May Cry 3. For this title, he used some of Trish's elements for Dante's new model though he remained ambiguous about which parts.

After being absent from Devil May Cry 3, Trish returned as a supporting character in Devil May Cry 4. Writer Bingo Morihashi said he had no clear understanding of Trish and Dante because these two characters were created by Kamiya. Nevertheless, Morihashi included her in the story as a form of fan service. Morihashi stated that if the story had been focused more on Dante rather than the new protagonist Nero, he might have featured Trish more. Character designer Tatsuya Yoshikawa received notes from director Hideaki Itsuno to make Trish "cute"; Yoshikawa had no difficulty designing her. A fellow designer said Trish had become "the series' sexiest gal". In contrast to her original version, Trish had her hair tied back, making her model easier to animate. Another artist felt the zip on Trish's top was one of her design's key points.

In Devil May Cry 4, Trish appears under the alter-ego Gloria; she poses as an enemy to Dante before revealing herself to the player. Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi stated that Gloria was meant to be a new, sexually appealing character who replaced the previous heroines in the franchise. Capcom staff members were afraid "to make her sexuality vulgar in any way" while noticing her design was popular with the fanbase. Itsuno said Capcom wanted to make Trish unique in terms of gameplay for the Special Edition. Trish was added to Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds because Capcom wanted to have a "sexy character" in the game, according to producer Ryota Niitsuma.

Trish's English-language dialog is voiced by Sarah Lafleur in Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble, Danielle Burgio in Devil May Cry 4 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Luci Christian in The Animated Series. In Japanese, she is voiced by Atsuko Tanaka in The Animated Series, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 / Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition. Tanaka said she liked the relationship between Trish, Lady, and Dante. Tanaka further liked Trish's portrayal in the anime series due to the action displayed in her fight against Lady. She was satisfied with being included in the anime series.

In Devil May Cry
Debuting in Devil May Cry, Trish hires Dante to stop Mundus' plan to conquer the human world by opening a gate on Mallet Island. Later in the game, Dante learns she is Mundus' servant and that her resemblance to his "mother" is part of a plan to lure him to the island so Mundus' servants can kill him. Despite Trish showing her true agenda, Dante saves her life. Deeming her unworthy to serve him, Mundus crucifies Trish to antagonise Dante. During Dante's last fight against the demon lord, Trish reappears and offers her power so he can finish the enemy. The two then become partners.

She appears in the Devil May Cry 2 novel as an alternative persona from a parallel world serving Mundus. The original Dante tries to persuade her to ally with demons fighting against the Lord of Darkness, but he eventually has to kill her. She is a playable character in a bonus section of Devil May Cry 2, separate from the game's plot as she is not present in the story. In the anime The Animated Series, Trish mostly works alone, and occasionally with Dante, who invited her to return. She first appears while accidentally fighting demon hunter Lady who views her as an enemy at first though they become friends after Dante interrupts the battle. Trish and Lady help Dante stop a new demon invasion in the finale of the anime.

Trish reappears in Devil May Cry 4 to work again with Dante. She disguises herself as Gloria, an executive with the Holy Knights of the Order of Sparda—a religious organization that worships Sparda. After the Order's leader Sanctus obtains the power to summon demons from another dimension, Trish goes to protect Fortuna's citizens while Dante goes to dispatch the enemy. In the epilogue, the two receive no payment from Lady, who states Trish made the situation worse. In the updated version of the game, Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, Trish is once again a playable character.

She is also present in Devil May Cry 5 but unplayable. During the game's beginning, Trish, Lady and Dante are defeated by the Demon King Urizen. Trish and Lady are sealed inside other demons with Dante later saving her once defeating it.

Other appearances
Trish appears alongside Dante in the PlayStation 2 version of Viewtiful Joe, hitting on him until an enemy captures her. In the PlayStation Portable game Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble, Trish appears as an alternative skin for the character Sexy Silvia. She is also present in the crossover fighting games Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Her Gloria outfit also appears in the fighting game Street Fighter V as an alternative costume for Laura.

Reception
Critical reception of Trish has been positive. Complex called her "charming" and said they liked her abilities, and enthusiastically awaited her appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Her alter ego Gloria was called one of the most sexually appealing characters in gaming due to her skimpy design. Despite enjoying Trish's redesign and Gloria in Devil May Cry 4, GamesTM was disappointed by her lack of appearances in the sequel and expected to see her as a playable character in an update. Trish and Dante were included in The Inquirer's list of the most memorable video-game love teams; comments focused on the way they join forces to defeat their enemies. The Official Xbox Magazine regarded Trish as an interesting sidekick to Dante based on her personality. Siliconera found her techniques "unique", citing the way she adds traps to the arena and their impact on fighting enemies. In contrast to the positive reception, Play listed Gloria's look as one of the most inappropriate outfits in gaming, describing it as "slutty clubbing gear" rather than a hunter costume. Despite criticizing several parts from Trish' character in her debut, Bloody Disgusting was surprised by the character's remorse involving how she betrays Dante but ends up joining him later following her fake death.

Trish's inclusion in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition has received a positive response. PCMag stated that her moves seemed to be inspired by her appearances in Devil May Cry 2 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3, describing her as "a very accessible" but difficult-to-master character. Game Informer enjoyed the way Trish can change weapons during fights, saying that while she might be regarded as simple to control, mastering all of her abilities might be so challenging she may be overshadowed by Vergil. IGN liked her moves because of the balance between them and Lady's techniques. Game Revolution liked the Marvel vs. Capcom 3-inspired moves, describing them as appealing. GameSpot offered a less positive opinion, saying Trish might be less entertaining than Lady and Vergil. PushSquare highly praised Trish' new moves, finding them impressive especially when compared with her Devil May Cry 2 persona.

Her character has also been explored in the anime series. Voice actor Fumiko Orikasa said the fight between Trish and Lady was appealing. Hyper had mixed thoughts regarding the episode in which Lady meets Trish through a fight but compared the style of the two female characters to the film The Matrix because both of them are stylish. Anime News Network expressed disappointment at the brevity of Trish's appearances in the anime but still found her English voice acting charming. GroundReport described Trish and Lady as foils for Dante and compared them with the main characters from the manga and anime series GetBackers due to Dante's financial issues, often receiving jobs from Lady. The Fandom Post appreciated the episode in which Lady fights Trish because of a misunderstanding but they befriend each other. The writer also enjoyed the duo's role in the following episodes, most notably in the finale. DVD Talk enjoyed the interactions between Trish, Dante, and Lady and wanted to see more of them in the anime rather than stories focused on Dante facing enemies.

Akasaka Palace

Akasaka Palace (赤坂離宮) is a state guest house (迎賓館) of the government of Japan. Other state guesthouses include the Kyoto State Guest House and the Osaka State Guest House.

The palace was originally built as the Imperial Palace for the Crown Prince (東宮御所) in 1909. Today the palace is designated by the Government of Japan as an official accommodation for visiting state dignitaries. Located in the Moto-Akasaka, Minato, Tokyo, the building took on its present function in 1974, having previously been an imperial detached palace. In 2009 the palace was designated as a National Treasure of Japan.

Overview

Location: Tokyo, Minato-ku, Moto-Akasaka-chome No. 1

The building has 15,000 m2 of floor space, and together with a smaller structure in the Japanese style, occupies a 117,000 m2 site.

The main building is a Neo-Baroque style Western building, resembling in particular the Hofburg Palace. It is one of largest buildings constructed during the Meiji period.

The palace is surrounded by a footpath unobstructed by road crossings. The footpath is approximately 3.25 km long (roughly 2 miles).

The railway station nearest the Palace is Yotsuya Station.

History
The territory that Akasaka Palace now occupies was part of the residence of Kishū Domain, one of the major branches (gosanke) of the ruling Tokugawa clan, during the Tokugawa period. After the Meiji Restoration, the Owari presented the land to the Imperial Household.

Designed by the architect Katayama Tōkuma (片山 東熊), who studied under Josiah Conder at the Imperial College of Engineering, the Neo-Baroque structure was constructed between 1899 and 1909 as a residence for the Crown Prince. Originally it was named Tōgū Palace (ja. lit. "Palace for the Crown Prince") but was later renamed Akasaka Palace when the Crown Prince's residence was moved. Regent Crown Prince Hirohito resided at Akasaka Palace from September 1923 until September 1928, two months before his coronation. The move was intended to be temporary, but lasted five years. During the renovation of his contemporary residence, Hirohito intended to lodge temporarily at Akasaka Palace, moving in on August 28, 1923. Four days later, Japan was hit by the Great Kantō earthquake on September 1. During his residence in Akasaka Palace, Crown Prince Hirohito married, and fathered two daughters, Princess Sachiko (who died at the age of 6 months) and Princess Shigeko. After the Second World War, the Government of Japan relieved the Imperial Household of Akasaka Palace. Several governmental offices were installed in the palace, including the National Diet Library which was founded in 1948, Cabinet Legislation Bureau and Organizing Committee of Tokyo Olympics 1964.

As the post-war occupation of Japan after the Second World War ended and the country went back to the international stage, a State Guest House was neeeded. The former residence of Prince Asaka, currently Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, was used as the state guest house for a brief period, but it was too small for that purpose. It was decided in 1967 to renovate the former Akasaka Palace as the new state guest house. The renovation was led by architect Togo Murano, took more than five years and 10.8 billion yen, and was completed in 1974. The first official state guest at the renovated palace was Gerald Ford in 1974, which was the first visit of the incumbent President of the United States to Japan. Since then, the palace has provided accommodations for state and official guests and a venue for international conferences, which have included the G7 summit meetings (1979, 1986 and 1993) and APEC summits.

The venue was closed from 2006 to 2009 for renovation, and was reopened in April 2009. In December 2009, the main building, the main gate and the garden with fountain were designated as a National Treasure of Japan. It was the first designation of assets after the Meiji Restoration as a National Treasure of Japan.

Derek Jeter

 * Hello Brian. Just dropping you a note to let you know I will no longer be editing the Derek Jeter article. Normally I would propose that we re-work the contentious sentences or paragraphs together but I fear this would not work in this case. I am glad that you became a registered user at Wikipedia and I wish you the best. No Guru 09:00, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your reply on my talk page, Brian. The sentence you suggested:

"Uncharacteristically, Jeter struggled during the 2004 ALCS against Boston, hitting only (insert BA) in a series in which the Yankees would notably become the first team in MLB history to lose a best-of-seven series after taking a 3 games to nothing lead."

works fine for me. If you don't mind I'll leave it up to you to include it at your leisure. Happy editing. No Guru 23:51, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Attended but did not graduate
I updated the section to include other former football players that left early for the draft without graduating.

Where have you been? The situation on the Ken Mehlman page is threatening to blow up into a full-scale edit war with a handful of editors intent on disregarding the previous consensus and forcing this nonsense into the article.

 * BTW- Wanted to let you know that I agree with you on the issue of pasting a discussion that occurred on a user talk page onto the article talk page. I think this triumvirate of ingrates (Asbl, Willmcw, and Katefan) want to try and give the appearance as if this conversation actually took place on the talk page among all members.  It's not.  It was a private discussion and has no business being pasted onto the article talk page.  I've removed it.

Pioneer Park (Fairbanks, Alaska)

Pioneer Park is a 44-acre (109-ha) city park in Fairbanks, Alaska, United States run by the Fairbanks North Star Borough Department of Parks and Recreation. The park commemorates early Alaskan history with multiple museums and historic displays on site. The park is located along the Chena River and is accessible from Peger and Airport Roads. A waterfront path connects the park to the Carlson Center, Growden Memorial Park and downtown Fairbanks. There is no admission fee to enter the park, though many of the museums and attractions do charge an entrance fee. Concessions are open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, though the park is open year-round and some events are held in the off-season. Free Wi-Fi is available.

History
Pioneer Park was opened in 1967 as Alaska 67 Centennial Exposition to celebrate the centennial of the Alaska Purchase. After being given first to the state and then to the city, Mayor Red Boucher renamed the site Alaskaland. It was then changed to its present name in 2001 out of concern that the park could be mistaken for being primarily a theme park. The subject is still a topic of slight contention with locals.

Attractions

 * Alaska Centennial Center for the Arts – theater, art gallery, and meeting hall.
 * Crooked Creek & Whiskey Island Railroad – operating narrow gauge railroad which circumnavigates the park.
 * Denali Observation car (or "Harding Railroad Car") – the rail car used by President Warren G. Harding during a visit to Alaska in 1923 to formally complete the Alaska Railroad.
 * Fairbanks Arts Association – a non-profit organization set up to promote contemporary and traditional arts in Interior Alaska.
 * Gold Rush Town – 35 restored buildings from early Fairbanks, including the first church in Fairbanks and a house owned by Judge James Wickersham. There are also several food vendors serving the public. Souvlaki, Cheechako's Tacos, and Nikko's. As well as many different Ice Cream and gift shops to visit.
 * Mini Golf Fairbanks – America's northernmost 18 hole Mini Golf Course.
 * Mining Valley – contains working replica of a gold rush-era sluice gate.
 * Pioneer Air Museum – aviation memorabilia and 14 aircraft; begun through the efforts of aviation historian Randy Acord.
 * Pioneer Hall – designed to resemble an early-20th-century meeting hall. Includes the Pioneer Museum, which features Gold Rush memorabilia and the "Big Stampede" mural presentation.
 * Replica Alaska Native village featuring artifacts.

Talk:Volodymyr Vynnychenko

Bio in Ukrainian
Володимир Винниченко народився 14 липня 1880 року в мiстi Елисаветградi Херсонськоi губернi. Його батько Кирило Васильович замолоду був селянином-наймитом, вiн переiхав з села до мiста Елисаветграду й одружився з удовою Евдокiею Павленко, народженою Линник. Вiд першого шлюбу мати Володимира мала трое дiтей: Андрiя, Марiю й Василя. Вiд другого - лише Володимира.

В народнiй школi Володимир привернув до себе увагу своiми здiбностями, саме тому вчителька переконала батькiв, щоб продовжували освiту дитини. Незважаючи на тяжке матерiяльне становище родини, по закiнченнi школи Володимира вiддано до Елисаветградськоi гiмназii. Гiмназiйне начальство, учителi, а за ними й учнi зустрiли малого украiнця насмiшками. Його вимова, бiдна одежа та iншi ознаки пролетарського походження викликали до нього зi сторони учнiв ворожiсть. Це ставлення вперше викликало у малого Володимира усвiдомлення того, що на свiтi не всi люди рiвнi, що е бiднi та багатi, що ставлення оточуючих великою мiрою залежить вiд мови якою ти спiлкуешся.

Усвiдомлення свого становища не пригнiтило майбутнього письменника, а навпаки, викликало протест та дiеву реакцiю: бiйки з учнями, розбивання шибок вчителiв. Протести проти соцiальноi та нацiональноi нерiвностi стали основою його непокiрного духу. В старших класах гiмназii вiн брав участь у революцiйнiй органiзацii, написав поему, за яку отримав тиждень "карцеру", як результат усього - його виключили з гiмназii. Незважаючи на це, Володимир i гадки не мае кидати навчання, вiн екстерном складае iспит до Златопiльськоi гiмназii. Не зважаючи на виразне небажання учителiв видати йому "атестат зрiлостi", вiн отримуе диплом завдяки директору гiмназii, нацiонально-свiдомому украiнцю. У 1901 роцi молодий письменник вступае до Киiвського унiверситету на юридичний факультет. Того ж року створюе таемну студентську революцiйну органiзацiю, яка мала назву "Студентська громада" i посилае перше свое оповiдання "Народний дiяч" до "Лiтературно-Наукового Вiсника" в Галичинi. Щоправда, оповiдання було надруковано значно пiзнiше, лише у 1906 роцi. 1902-ого року його уперше заарештували за належнiсть до революцiйноi украiнськоi органiзацii, вiн провiв декiлька мiсяцiв у киiвськiй в'язницi.

За браком офiцiйних доказiв його випустили, але виключили з унiверситету i висилили з Киева без права жити у великих мiстах. Лiтом того ж року в щомiсячнику "Кiевская Старина", який видавався росiйською мовою в Киевi, з'явилася повiсть "Сила i краса". Восени, iз-за виключення з числа студентiв, Володимира Винниченка позбавлено права на вiдстрочення вiйськовоi служби й забрано в солдати. Проте служби, як такоi, вiн не вiдбував, бо влада, боячись революцiйного впливу на товаришiв-вiйськових, тримала Володимира пiд арештом. Вночi, переодягаючись у цивiльне, непокiрний письменник тiкав з касарнi й ризикуючи розмовляв з робiтниками на полiтичнi теми. Цю дiяльнiсть було викрито, й Володимира заарештували. Довiдавшись вiд товаришiв-вiйськових про пiдготовку арешту, Володимир скидае солдатську унiформу й тiкае до Галичини. Там вже iснувала перша революцiйна партiя Украiни - РУП, до якоi належав i Винниченко.

У Львовi письменник займаеться партiйною пропагандою, приймае участь у роботi партiйних газетах "Праця", "Селянин" i пише брошури та книги на революцiйну тематику. При перевозi 1903-го року нелегальноi лiтератури з Галичини до Киева, Винниченка зарештовують на кордонi. Як дизертира й революцiонера його посадили у вiйськову в'язницю - киiвську фортецю. За пропаганду серед вiйська та за дезертирство його мали засудити до вiйськовоi каторги, а за суто полiтичний злочин - провiз нелегальноi лiтератури - вiн мав бути суджений окремо. Пiсля пiвторарiчного перебування за гратами його звiльнила перша росiйська революцiя 1905 року. Винниченка звiльнено з фортецi в силу проголошеноi амнiстii.

Пiд час ув'язнення вiн написав цiлу низку лiтературних творiв. Повiсть "Голота" одержала першу премiю "Кiевской Старины". Пiд час перепитiй того часу "Украiнська революцiйна партiя" прийняла марксистську програму i отримала назву "Украiнська соцiал-демократична робiтнича партiя". Винниченко увiйшов до складу ii центрального комiтету. Незважаючи на неможливiсть регулярноi унiверситетськоi працi, вiн вимагае вiд адмiнiстрацii допустити його до державних iспитiв, якi складае успiшно. Пiсля подiй 1905 року Винниченко змушений знову тiкати за кордон. Там вiн працюе в закордонних партiйних органiзацiях i час вiд часу нелегально виiздить на Украiну в партiйних справах. Протягом 1906 року письменник багато мандрував по Украiнi, результатом цього е цiла низка оповiдань: "На пристанi", "Раб краси", "Умiркований та щирий", "Голод", "Малорос-европеець", "Ланцюг" та iншi. У 1907 роцi Володимира Кириловича знову заарештовують у Киевi й садять у славнозвiсну Лук'янiвську тюрму, де перебували майже всi видатнi члени Революцiйноi партii.

Через вiсiм мiсяцiв Винниченка випускають "на поруки". Довiдавшись про те, що мае бути засуджений за свою полiтичну дiяльнiсть на каторгу, Винниченко ще раз тiкае за кордон. В цей перiод вiн написав багато творiв на соцiяльнi та етичнi теми: "Дисгармонiя", "Щаблi життя", "Контрасти". Цей перiод "емiграцii" тривав аж до 1914 року. Незважаючи на велику загрозу бути знову заарештованим, вiн й далi приймае участь у нелегальних з'iздах. В перiод 1908-1914 рокiв Володимир Винниченко вiдвiдав чимало краiн: Швейцарiю, Iталiю, Францiю, Нiмеччину, Росiю (Москва та Петербург), а також Украiну (побував у Киевi та Харковi). Протягом цих шести рокiв письменник одружився, а також вийшла в свiт "Чесноти з собою" у росiйському перекладi, у Москвi видавався журнал "Промiнь" за редагування Володимира Кириловича. У 1917 роцi революцiя застала Винниченка в сучаснiй столицi Росii, але вiн одразу ж переiздить до Украiни. Приймае активну участь у Центральнiй Радi та подорожi до Петрограду на переговори з росiйським Тимчасовим урядом. Володимир Винниченко очолював генеральний секретарiат водночас будучи секретарем внутрiшнiх справ. 27 червня 1917 року на пленумi Центральноi Ради оголосив Першу декларацiю першого украiнського уряду.

У вирii полiтичних перепитiй тих важливих для iсторii Украiни часiв, Володимир Винниченко завжди брав активну участь: при прийняттi Другого унiверсалу 16 липня 1917 року; був у складi другоi украiнськоi делегацii до Петрограду; при прийняттi Центральною Радою 22 серпня 1917 року першоi конституцii Украiни та багатьох iнших. У зв'язку з ланцюгом причин Винниченко покидае уряд i настають часи першоi урядовоi кризи. Будучи iстинним патрiотом Украiни вiн не може стояти осторонь, коли вирiшуеться доля Батьткiвщини, тому знову сiдае на урядову лаву. Третiй унiверсал Центральноi Ради 20 листопада 1917 року; вiйна з Радянською Росiею; проголошення 22 сiчня 1918 року самостiйностi Украiни; Четвертий унiверсал:

Зi скасуванням Центральноi ради 28 квiтня 1918 року i початком Гетьманщини Винниченко змушений покинути Киiв, але згодом вiн знову повертаеться в Украiну як голова Нацiонального союзу. Пiд його керiвництвом готуеться повстання проти нiмецькоi окупацii й гетьмана Скоропатського, черговий арешт, правда цього разу гетьманськими офiцерами. Через протест усього украiнського громадянства його звiльняють. 15 листопада 1918 року вибiр Директорii й початок повстання, виiзд Винниченка до Бiлоi Церкви, поворот на чолi Директорii до Киева 19 грудня 1919 року, звернення Директорii по допомогу до Антанти 11 лютого 1919 року, трудовий конгрес: Усi цi роки Володимир Кирилович реалiзовуеться як сильний полiтичний дiяч, але мовчить як письменник. 10 людого 1919 року Винниченко покидае владу остаточно. У березень 1919 року вiн виiздить за кордон. Австрiя, Вiдень, Зiммерiнг, Будапешт, Зiммерiнг, передмiстя Вiдня - змiнюються мiста, краiни, люди, але не мiняеться людська сутнiсть, Винниченко повертаеться до своеi письменницькоi дiяльностi i вже в листопад 1919 року пише "Вiдродження нацii".Цього ж року видаеться часопис "Нова Доба".

У квiтнi 1920 року виiздить до Радянського Союзу, але не затримуеться тут надовго, його кличуть краiни i мiста Европи, якими вiн подорожуе протягом 1920-1925 рокiв. У лютому 1925 року вiфн переiздить у Париж. Його завжди манила спокiйна Францiя, саме тут у жовтнi 1934 року вiн купуе хутiр бiля Канн в громадi Мужен. Вiд цiеi дати видатний письменник жив у своему хуторi аж до кiнця життя, iнколи на короткий перiод часу виiздив до Парижа й Праги. Пiд час вiйни вiн не мав змоги виiхати з голодного департаменту Альп-Марiтiм i пiд постiйною загрозою арешту та депортацii нiмцями допомагае тим, хто переховувався вiд окупантiв. Вiн помирае 6 березня 1951 року. Його прах покоiться на цвинтарi Мужена.

A large part of the biography is skipped?
This article seems to say that Vynnychenko emigrated abroad after leaving the UPR's government and never returned, which is of course, wrong as he later was the deputy head of Sovnarkom (government) of Ukrainian SSR, the first of Soviet Ukraine. Reciprocist (talk) 20:46, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

List of Australian and New Zealand advertising characters

Many advertising characters used as mascots and characters by companies in Australia and New Zealand are similar to those used in the United States and the United Kingdom. There are, however, quite a number that are unique to these two nations.

Many advertisements shown on New Zealand television are made in Australia, and many Australian and New Zealand companies operate similar businesses on both sides of the Tasman Sea. As such, there is considerable overlap in advertising characters and mascots found in the two countries.

The following is a list of notable mascots and characters created specifically for advertising purposes in Australia and New Zealand, listed alphabetically by the product they represent.

Francis Wodié

Francis Vangah Romain Wodié (25 February 1936 – 3 July 2023) was an Ivorian politician, jurist, and human rights activist. He led the Ivorian Workers' Party (PIT) from 1990 to 2011. During that time, Wodié served as a Deputy in the National Assembly of Côte d'Ivoire from 1990 to 1995 and as Minister of Higher Education from 1998 to 1999. He was President of the Constitutional Council of Côte d'Ivoire from 2011 to 2015.

1936–1990
Wodié was born in Abidjan on 25 February 1936. He attended primary school in M'Bahiakro and secondary school in Abidjan. Afterwards he studied law in Dakar, Senegal, and in France at Poitiers and Caen. While in France, he was a member of the Executive Bureau of the Association of Ivorian Students in France. In July 1961, he was arrested "for endangering the safety of the State of Côte d'Ivoire in France", expelled from France, and placed under house arrest in Abidjan. Following his release in January 1962, he continued his studies in France. After completing his studies, he returned to Côte d'Ivoire, where he began teaching at the University of Abidjan. He was a founding member of the National Union for Research and Higher Education (SYNARES) and was its Secretary-General. In March 1971, he was accused of "subversive activities", and as a result, he lived in exile in Algiers until August 1973.

Wodié was the dean of the faculty of law at the University of Abidjan from 1980 to 1986. He was also a founding member of the Ivorian League of Human Rights, and from 1985 to 1989, he was President of the Ivorian section of Amnesty International. He was a founding member of the Ivorian Workers' Party (PIT) in April 1990 and led the party from the time of its formation as its First National Secretary. In May 1990, referring to the spread of multiparty politics in Africa, which was previously dominated by single-party regimes, Wodié said that "establishing a multiparty system is only a step on the way to democracy, not an end in itself".

1990–2023
Wodié was the only PIT candidate to win a seat in the November 1990 parliamentary election. He won the seat for the Cocody district in Abidjan, prevailing over two candidates from the ruling Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire (PDCI) and a candidate from the opposition Ivorian Popular Front (FPI). After the election results were announced, showing that the PDCI had won an overwhelming parliamentary majority, Wodié said that he found the results "difficult to believe", because they suggested that the opposition was less popular than he thought; to explain the outcome, he pointed to low turnout among voters, arguing that many people failed to vote in the belief that the PDCI would win through fraud.

Wodié served in the National Assembly until losing his seat in the 1995 parliamentary election. As the only candidate standing against President Henri Konan Bédié in the October 1995 presidential election, which was boycotted by other opposition parties, Wodié won 3.52% of the votes.

In the government named on 11 August 1998, Wodié was appointed Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Explaining his decision to join the government, Wodié said that, although the PIT was an opposition party, it also favored consultations enabling the party to contribute to national development. He remained in his ministerial post until Bédié was ousted in the military coup of 24 December 1999. Along with other ministers, Wodié was detained following the coup, but he was released on 28 December. In February 2000, Wodié announced his candidacy for the October 2000 presidential election. In this election, Wodié placed third with 5.7% of the votes. At the time of the 2000 election, the Associated Press characterized him as "an intellectual without a strong national following".

Having served as the First National Secretary of the PIT since the time of its Constitutive Congress, Wodié was instead elected as President of the PIT at the party's 3rd Ordinary Congress in August 2004.

Wodié stood again as the PIT candidate in the October 2010 presidential election, but he attracted minimal support. He and his party backed Alassane Ouattara in the second round of the presidential election. The election produced an extended and violent dispute over the results; Ouattara eventually prevailed when forces loyal to him captured Abidjan in April 2011. Wodié stepped down as head of the PIT in 2011, but Ouattara then appointed him as President of the Constitutional Council on 25 July 2011; Wodié was appointed to replace Paul Yao N'Dre, a loyalist of Ouattara's ousted opponent Laurent Gbagbo.

Wodié resigned as President of the Constitutional Council on 28 January 2015. He was succeeded by Mamadou Koné on 20 February.

Francis Wodié died on 3 July 2023, at the age of 87.
