Al-Qassam Brigades

The Ezzedeen Al-Qassam Brigades (EQB; كتائب الشهيد عز الدين القسام), named after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, is the military wing of the Palestinian nationalist organization Hamas. Currently led by Mohammed Deif, EQB is the largest and best-equipped militant group operating within Gaza today.

Created in mid-1991, it was at the time concerned with blocking the Oslo Accords negotiations. From 1994 to 2000, the Al-Qassam Brigades has claimed responsibility for carrying out a number of attacks against Israelis.

At the beginning of the Second Intifada, the group became a central target of Israel. The Al-Qassam Brigades operated several cells in the West Bank. Most of them were destroyed by 2004, following numerous operations of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the region. In contrast, Hamas retained a forceful presence in the Gaza Strip, generally considered its stronghold. Yahya Sinwar, Hamas political leader in the Gaza Strip since February 2017, is a military leader in the Brigades in Gaza.

The Al-Qassam Brigades are explicitly listed as a terrorist organization by the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, and the United Kingdom. Though not explicitly mentioning EQB, the United States and Canada have designated its parent entity, Hamas, as a terrorist organization; Brigade leader Mohammed Deif is classified as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the US under Executive Order 13224. As the Brigades undertake military activity on behalf of Hamas, "organized terrorist activities associated with Hamas can be reliably attributed to the Brigades."

Overview

The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades is the military wing of the Palestinian organization Hamas, operating in the Gaza Strip. It is currently led by Mohammed Deif and, before his death on 17 March 2024, his deputy, Marwan Issa.

The Al-Qassam Brigades is named after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, a Muslim preacher and mujahid in Mandatory Palestine. In 1930, al-Qassam organised and established the Black Hand, a militant organisation that was opposed to Zionism and British and French rule in the Levant. Before dying in a shootout with the Palestine Police Force in 1935, al-Qassam exhorted his followers to embrace martyrdom and fight until the last bullet, which turned him into a role model for Palestinian nationalists.

According to the Al-Qassam Brigades, its aims are:

 * To contribute in the effort of liberating Palestine and restoring the rights of the Palestinian people under the sacred Islamic teachings of the Holy Quran, the Sunnah (traditions) of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the traditions of Muslims rulers and scholars noted for their piety and dedication.

In summary, the Brigades seek to establish an Islamist state of Palestine, comprising Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel—ending Israel as a political entity in the process.

Relation to political wing; commanders
The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades are an integral part of Hamas. While they are subordinate to Hamas's broad political goals and its ideological objectives, they have a significant level of independence in decision making.

In 1997, political scientists Ilana Kass and Bard O'Neill described Hamas' relationship with the Brigades as reminiscent of Sinn Féin's relationship to the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and quoted a senior Hamas official: "The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigade is a separate armed military wing, which has its own leaders who do not take their orders [from Hamas] and do not tell us of their plans in advance."

Carrying the IRA analogy further, Kass and O'Neill argued that the separation of the political and military wings shielded Hamas' political leaders from responsibility for terrorism with the plausible deniability provided made Hamas an eligible representative for peace negotiations as had happened with Sinn Féin politician Gerry Adams.

The fighters' identities and positions in the group often remain secret until their death. Even when they fight against Israeli incursions, all the militants wear a characteristic black hood on which the group's green headband is attached. The Brigades operate on a model of independent cells. Even high-ranking members are often unaware of the activities of other cells. This allows the group to constantly regenerate after member deaths.

During the Second Intifada, the leaders of the group were targeted by numerous airstrikes that killed many members, including Salah Shehade and Adnan al-Ghoul. The current leader of the Brigades, Mohammed Deif, remains at large and is said to have survived at least five assassination attempts.

Background
In 1984, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Ibrahim al-Makhadmeh, Sheikh Salah Shehada, and others began preparing for the establishment of an armed organization to resist Israeli control, with a focus on acquiring weapons for future resistance activities. Members of the group were, however, arrested and the weapons were confiscated.

In 1986, Shehada formed a network of resistance cells, called al-Mujahidun al-Filastiniun ('Palestinian fighters'), who targeted Israeli troops and "traitors." This network operated until 1989, with their most famous operation being the 1989 kidnapping and killing of two Israeli soldiers: Avi Sasportas and Ilan Saadon.

Hamas was officially established on 14 December 1987, forming other similar networks as al-Mujahidun al-Filastiniun, such as the Abdullah Azzam Brigades. In the summer of 1991, during the First Palestinian Intifada (1987–1994), the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades were established, with their first act being the assassination of the rabbi of Kfar Darom.

Contemporary operations and activities
The international community, and more specifically the United Nations, considers the practice of war combatants using civilians as human shields to be a violation of the Geneva Conventions standards of war,  and considers indiscriminate attacks (e.g., by rockets or suicide bombers) on civilian populations as illegal under international law.

The EQB's transition to a recognised militant organisation began during the establishment of the Oslo Accords to assist Hamas efforts in blocking them.

The year 2004 was pivotal in the development of Al-Qassam Brigades from a loosely-formed militia, into a structured organization with a defined chain of command. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF)'s assassinations of local leaders Ahmed Yassin and Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi resulted in decision-making power being transferred to leaders exiled in Damascus, which ultimately led to greater influence and funding from Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah.

The Gaza strip was divided into six or seven regional divisions, headed by a division commander with responsibility over defined sectors of territory. Each division commander oversaw regiment commanders and company commanders, who were responsible for small areas such as neighborhoods. A focus on tunnel warfare was selected as a primary means of combating the IDF.

On 3 August 2004, the first Yasin missile–a homebrew anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade–was launched. The group developed other homemade weapons, such as rocket launchers (al-Bana, Batar) and the Qassam rocket.

In 2003 and 2004, the Brigades in Gaza resisted incursions by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), including the siege of Jabalya in October 2004.

In 2005, as President Mahmoud Abbas had taken direct control of the PA security forces, which were loyal to the president's Fatah movement, the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip formed a separate 3,000-strong paramilitary police force, called the Executive Force, consisting of Al-Qassam Brigades members.

In June 2006, the Al-Qassam Brigades were involved in the operation which led to the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. The Al-Qassam Brigades engaged in heavy fighting in the Gaza Strip during Operation Summer Rains, launched by the IDF. It was the first time in over 18 months that the brigades were actively involved in fighting against Israeli soldiers. In May 2007, the brigades acknowledged they lost 192 fighters during the operation.

In January 2007, Abbas outlawed the Executive Force and ordered that its then-6,000 members be incorporated into the PA security forces under his command. The order was resisted by the Hamas government, which instead announced plans to double the size of the force to 12,000 men. The Al-Qassam Brigades and the Executive Force took part in the Hamas takeover of Gaza in June 2007.

In June 2008, Egypt brokered a ceasefire, which lasted until 4 November when Israeli forces crossed into Gaza and killed six Hamas fighters. This resulted in an increase in rocket attacks on Israel, going from two in September and October to 190 in November 2008. Both sides said the other had broken the truce.

Organization
The Izz al Din al-Qassem Brigades are organized into formal military structures with established command hierarchies. The al Qassem Brigades organize themselves from the squad, all the way to the brigade level, similar to conventional militaries. Strategies centered on targeted killings to remove key Hamas leaders are ineffective, as Hamas is capable of promoting low ranking members to replace those assassinated.

The forces are mainly divided into five brigades, divided geographically. Each brigade is divided into multiple battalions, with 30 total battalions. Each battalion is associated with a major settlement. They may be relocated and change their areas of responsibility during conflicts.

The current brigades and battalions identified by the Institute for the Study of War are,

 * North Brigade—North Gaza Governorate
 * Beit Lahia Battalion
 * Beit Hanoun Battalion
 * al Khalifa al Rashidun Battalion
 * Martyr Suhail Ziadeh Battalion
 * Jabalia al Balad (Abdul Raouf Nabhan) Battalion
 * Imad Aql (Western) Battalion
 * Elite Battalion
 * Gaza Brigade—Gaza Governorate
 * Sabra-Tal al Islam Battalion
 * Daraj wal Tuffah Battalion
 * Radwan(al Furkan) Battalion
 * Shujaiya Battalion
 * Zaytoun Battalion
 * Shati Battalion
 * Possible Elite Battalion per reports by Arab media, unconfirmed by Hamas or IDF.
 * Central Brigade—Central Governorate
 * Deir al Balah Battalion
 * Al Bureij Battalion
 * Al Maghazi Battalion
 * Nusairat Battalion
 * Possible Elite Battalion
 * Khan Younis Brigade—Khan Younis Governorate
 * Camp (West Khan Younis) Battalion
 * North Khan Younis Battalion
 * South Khan Younis Battalion
 * Eastern (Khan Younis) Battalion
 * Qarara Battalion
 * Elite Battalion
 * Rafah Brigade—Rafah Governorate
 * Eastern Battalion
 * Khalid bin al Walid (Yabna Camp) Battalion
 * Shaboura Battalion
 * Possible fourth battalion, name unknown.
 * Elite Battalion

Recruitment
Hamas fighters are largely recruited from unemployed minors, aged under 18. About 50,000 Gazan youths under 18 registered for "security" training. Recruitment is likely driven by the highest unemployment in the world, where 45% of Gazans are unemployed. Al-Qassam spokesman Abu Obaida stated in a public speech in 2023 during the Gaza–Israel conflict that 85% of their recruits are orphans desiring revenge whose parents were killed by the Israeli Defense Forces.

Strength and armament
Since its establishment in December 1987, the military capability of the Brigades has increased markedly, from rifles to Qassam rockets and more.

The Brigades run their own intelligence division.

The Brigades have a substantial inventory of light automatic weapons and grenades, improvised rockets, mortars, bombs, suicide belts, and explosives. The group engages in military-style training, including training that takes place in Gaza, on a range of weapons designed to inflict significant casualties on civilian and military targets.

The Brigades have a variety of anti-tank guided missiles, including the Kornet-E, Konkurs-M, Bulsae-2 (North Korean version of Fagot), 9K11 Malyutka and MILAN missiles. They possess shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles (MANPADS), such as the SA-7B, SA-18 Igla missiles, and it is believed a number of SA-24 Igla-S that it received from Libya.

While the number of members is known only to the Brigades leadership, in 2011 Israel estimated that the Brigades have a cadre of several hundred members who receive military-style training, including training in Iran and Syria. Additionally, the Brigades have an estimated 30,000 operatives "of varying degrees of skill and professionalism" who are members of the internal security forces, Hamas, and their supporters. These operatives can be expected to reinforce the Brigades in an "emergency situation." Other sources estimate their strength at 30,000–50,000. An October 2023 estimate provides a figure of 40,000 fighters, with expertise in cyber security, naval warfare, and other specializations.

According to a statement by CIA director George Tenet in 2000, possibly referring to the Brigades, Hamas has pursued a capability to conduct attacks with toxic chemicals. There have been reports of Hamas operatives planning and preparing attacks incorporating chemicals. In one case, nails and bolts packed into explosives detonated by a Hamas suicide bomber in a December 2001 attack in Ben-Yehuda Street in Jerusalem were soaked in rat poison. In 2014, they launched the first Palestinian reconnaissance (UAV) aircraft, called Ababeel1.

Gaza forces, October 2023
During the 2023 Gaza war, the IDF published its intelligence about the Hamas military in the Gaza Strip. They put the strength of the Qassam Brigades there at the start of the war at 30,000 fighters, organised by area in five brigades, consisting in total of 24 battalions and c. 140 companies. Each regional brigade had a number of strongholds and outposts, and included specialised arrays for rocket firing, anti-tank missiles, air defenses, snipers, and engineering.

On 8 January 2024 Israel discovered the largest known weapons factory of Hamas in Bureij. The site was opened for reporters by the IDF which contained, metal tubes and components as well as shell casings were stacked in an overground workshop area and long metal racks holding missiles could be seen. An elevator lead into a tunnel where rockets were stored and is connected to a tunnel network which allowed Hamas to transport rockets underground to launch sites. The same month, Israel reported that it discovered a "massive" stockpile of Chinese weaponry used by Hamas.

Leaders killed by Israel or other causes
On 3 September 2005, after Israel's withdrawal from settlements in the Gaza Strip, the Al-Qassam Brigades revealed for the first time the names and functions of its commanders on its website as well as in a printed bulletin distributed to Palestinians.

On 12 July 2006, the Israeli Air Force bombed a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, where Mohammed Deif, Ahmad al-Ghandur, and Raid Said were meeting. The three-story house was completely leveled, killing Hamas official Nabil al-Salmiah, his wife, their five children and two other children. Two of the three brigades leaders present escaped with moderate wounds. Deif received a spinal injury that required four hours of surgery.

On 1 January 2009, Nizar Rayan, a top Hamas leader who served as a liaison between the Palestinian organization's political leadership and its military wing, was killed in an Israeli Air Force strike during Operation Cast Lead. The day before the attack, Rayan had advocated renewal of suicide attacks on Israel, declaring, "Our only language with the Jew is through the gun". A 2,000-pound bomb was dropped on his house, also killing his 4 wives (Hiam 'Abdul Rahman Rayan, 46; Iman Khalil Rayan, 46; Nawal Isma'il Rayan, 40; and Sherine Sa'id Rayan, 25) and 11 of their children (As'ad, 2; Usama Ibn Zaid, 3; 'Aisha, 3; Reem, 4; Miriam, 5; Halima, 5; 'Abdul Rahman, 6; Abdul Qader, 12; Aaya, 12; Zainab, 15; and Ghassan, 16).

On 3 January 2009, Israeli aircraft attacked the car in which Abu Zakaria al-Jamal, a leader of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam armed wing, was traveling. He died of the wounds suffered in the bombing. The following day, the Israeli Air Force struck and killed in Khan Yunis two senior Brigrade leaders, Hussam Hamdan and Muhammad Hilo, both of whom the Israelis blamed for attacks against Israel. According to Israeli authorities Hamdan was in charge of rocket attacks against Beersheba and Ofakim, while Hilo was reportedly behind Hamas' special forces in Khan Yunis.

On 15 January 2009, the Israeli Air Force bombed a house in Jabaliya, killing a prominent Brigades commander named Mohammed Watfa. The strike targeted the Palestinian Interior Minister Said Seyam, who was also killed.

On 30 July 2010, one of the leaders Issa Abdul-Hadi Al-Batran, aged 40, was killed at the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip by an Israeli airstrike.

On 14 November 2012, Ahmed Jaabari, the head of the Al-Qassam Brigade, was killed along with seven others in Gaza, marking the beginning of Israel's "Operation Pillar of Defense".

On 21 August 2014, an Israeli air strike killed Muhammad Abu Shamala, the sub-commander of Southern Gaza Strip; Raed al Atar, the commander of the Rafah company and member of the Hamas high military council; and Mohammed Barhoum.

On 30 January 2018, Imad Al-Alami died as a result of injuries sustained while he was inspecting his personal weapon in Gaza City.

Hamas confirmed in November 2023 that Israeli airstrikes had killed Ahmed Ghandour, the commander of the Al-Qassam Brigade in northern Gaza; Ayman Siam, head of the rocket-firing unit; and Fursan Khalifa, a senior commander in the West Bank, as well as Ghandour's deputy Wael Rajab.

Marwan Issa, deputy leader of the Al-Qassam Brigades and second-in-command to Mohammed Deif, was reported to have been killed by Israeli forces on 10 March 2024.

International response
The international community, and more specifically the United Nations, considers the practice of war combatants to turn civilians into human shields as a violation of the Geneva Conventions standards of war,  and considers indiscriminate attacks (e.g., by rockets or suicide bombers) on civilian populations as illegal under international law.

As the Brigades undertake military activity on behalf of Hamas, "organized terrorist activities associated with Hamas can be reliably attributed to the Brigades."

The Al-Qassam Brigades are explicitly listed as a terrorist organization by the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, and the United Kingdom. Though not explicitly mentioning EQB, the United States and Canada have designated its parent entity, Hamas, as a terrorist organization; Brigade leader Mohammed Deif has also been classified as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the US under Executive Order 13224.

Military media

After Israel launched the ground invasion of Gaza on 27 October, the Qassam Brigades publicised many of their ambushes against Israeli vehicles on their military media for the battle of al-Aqsa Deluge. Most of these videos, shot mainly from the militant's point of view through a GoPro camera involve the ambush of vehicles, targeted by rockets before the militants retreat to their bases, though footage of sniper operations and targeting ground forces has been published as well.

Targets were highlighted with a flashing inverted red triangle. Due to the nature of these attacks, being hit and run and militants turning away immediately after the round has been shot, as well as the Israeli vehicles Trophy APS, it has been called into question how effective these attacks were and how many tanks were successful hit instead of the rockets being intercepted. In spite of this, the Qassam brigades have publicised videos on their military media showing successful hits where plates are seen being torn off tanks after being hit by rockets, or the aftermath of their ambushes showing ignited vehicles, as well as captured uniforms and weapons from the IDF.

Lake Lemon

Lake Lemon is a reservoir located in southern Indiana approximately 10 mi northeast of Bloomington, Indiana. It is bounded by private and public property in Monroe County and Brown County, with the eastern end of the lake in Brown County. The surface area of the lake is 1650 acres, making it the 11th largest lake in Indiana. There are 24 mi of shoreline. The lake has an average depth of 9.7 ft at full pool level. The greatest depth is somewhat in excess of 20 ft, matching with the original Bean Blossom Creek bed.

Construction
Damming of Bean Blossom Creek and construction of Lake Lemon began in 1953 with the intent to create a primary water source for nearby Bloomington, as well as a recreation area and flood control project for Bean Blossom Creek.

Lake Lemon Dam is an earthen dam 51 feet in height, 660 feet in length at its crest, and a maximum capacity of 45,700 acre feet. Construction was completed by 1956. Lake Lemon remained a primary water source for Bloomington until being replaced in the 1970s by Lake Monroe, a considerably larger man-made reservoir to the south. Lake Lemon still serves as a back-up water source for Bloomington.

The Indiana Rail Road's Shuffle Creek Trestle is located on the south side of the lake. It is the location of a July 2014 incident that nearly resulted in the deaths of two trespassers.

Management
By the 1990s, the City of Bloomington Utilities department, which operated the lake, began looking for an alternative group to manage the lake. This was due in large part to financial pressures on that department's budget. A group of landowners around Lake Lemon formed the Lake Lemon Conservancy District to take over operation of the lake, and official operation of the lake was handed over to this group in 1995. In 2002, the City of Bloomington handed over operation of Riddle Point Park (located on the lake) to the conservancy district as well.

Fauna and flora
The lake is home to two dozen varieties of fish (including largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, and bluegill); wildlife (including beaver and muskrat); and birds (including bald eagle, heron, and egret). Since 1985, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources has released 73 bald eagle chicks at nearby Lake Monroe, resulting in an increasing number of sightings of this species at Lake Lemon.

A very wide range of plants and trees find comfortable habitat on the lands immediately surrounding the lake. The most abundant plants include American lotus, cattail, and spatterdock. Tree varieties include silver maple and oak, both in abundance.

As of 2005, zebra mussels, an invasive species, have not been observed in the lake.

Parks and other facilities
There are two publicly accessible parks located on the lake. The largest is Riddle Point Park operated by the Lake Lemon Conservancy district. This park features a boat ramp, a 1 acre native prairie grass demonstration area, a beach, a shelter house, and a nature trail. The other park is Little Africa Wildlife Viewing Area (39.2525°N, -86.36444°W), which covers 24 acres on a peninsula at the east end of the lake and features a nature trail.

Lake Lemon Marina is the only marina on the lake. It is located on the north shore of the lake and offers the only publicly available boat fuel on the lake. A private yacht club called Bloomington Yacht Club exists on the south shore of the lake.

Also on the south shore of the lake is the Indiana University Aquatic Center. This center hosts a number of activities including sailing, rowing, and water skiing. The facility is home to the Indiana University Women's Rowing Team, Indiana University Club Rowing Team, and Indiana University Sailing Club.

Fenton House, Hampstead

Fenton House is a 17th-century merchant's house in Hampstead in North London which belongs to the National Trust, bequeathed to them in 1952 by Lady Binning, its last owner and resident. It is a detached house with a walled garden, which is large by London standards, and features a sunken garden, an orchard and a kitchen garden. It is located on the western side of Hampstead Grove and to the south of Admiral's Walk with its entrance on Holly Hill.

Features
The interior houses the Benton Fletcher collection of early keyboard instruments, some of which are often played for visitors during operational hours, and collections of paintings (including the collection of Peter Barkworth paintings), Meissen, English and Chinese porcelain, 17th-century needlework pictures and Georgian furniture.

It also has fine portraits of King William IV (when Duke of Clarence) and his mistress Dorothea Jordan, as well as portraits of two of their illegitimate sons, Frederick FitzClarence and Adolphus FitzClarence, and one of William IV's brother George IV.

The brick mansion, with 1693 inscribed on its chimney breast which is consistent with the date of its core and most of its walls, has a 300-year-old orchard, where around 30 varieties of apple trees flourish.

Philip Fenton, a Riga merchant, bought the house in 1793 and in the 19th century ordered much of the remodelling. This comprised alterations to the interiors and roof, the addition of an ornate portico and the pediment, new window frames and glazing. The sides of the building feature balustraded flat areas (parapets) above the standard decorative ledge (cornice) which date from the 18th century.
 * 19th century remodelling by a Riga merchant

The building has original staircases with twisted balusters. Main rooms have original panelling, corner cupboards and decoratively carved marble fireplaces.

It has a west extension adding no more than 5% to the building dating to about 1936, believed in the listing research of 1950 to have been commissioned by Lady Binning.

Open Defecation
"Open defecation, the practice of defecating outside without using a toilet of any kind, is still widespread in some developing countries, for example in India.[1]"

This is in the introduction at the moment, surely it should be under culture?

A new way of wiping
A new way of wiping has been proposed to lower the abrasion factor of cellulose on the soft tissues of the anus and to increase the overall cleanliness. The process involves creating a larger stack of tissue to cover the hand, and adding hand sanitizer.

Yes, a video of human defecation should be added
But do not add the old one we need a new one. We also could add a video of a female and a video of a male. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frost gamer 75 (talk • contribs)

Well, I started to do some cleanup and copy editing, but then realized this entire article is filled with poor writing. There's a lot of phrasing that's not only awkward and overly wordy, but sometimes just weird. This sentence, for example, left me confounded:

I gave up trying to parse it. After realizing I couldn't figure out how it could possibly be reworked, I finally just deleted it. And with that, I've given up doing any further work on this article.

I'm not trying to say that there is any connection, but Jon Stewart pointed this out when he was first elected. Should it be put in the article?

 * No, any connection is spurious. Both come from the arabic root "taalib", or "student". The Taliban in Afghanistan are a relatively new entity, whereas I'm sure the Talabani name has been in his family for centuries.

Yeah it happened. It was the 1995-1998 Kurdish civil war. You can find plenty of references on the web including here. One well respected reference for this is PBS Frontline --Attriti0n 11:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, for me the image is overlapping some of the page text. This is under "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1" 63.107.91.99 00:00, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This article doesn't make sense
It doesn't make sense where it reads "After the collapse of the Kurdish revolt in 1975, he left the KDP in 1966". 1966 is not after 1975! This is presumably a typo or the result of bad editing where the sense has become garbled. Can someone who knows the correct year please fix it? -- Cabalamat 13:56, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Elected to the FBI?
The article timeline says he was elected to the FBI in 1951? -- With a link to the US Federal Bureau of Investigations? I suspect this is an error.

Addition:
I added the Arabic script of Jalal Talabani's name. --MB

Be careful about copyright!
Someone added a copy of this webpage: to the article. This is a copyright violation and could get Wikipedia in trouble. I've deleted it. Gronky 11:29, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Kurdish Text
Arabic, Persian and Kurdish (using Arabic script) are read from RIGHT to LEFT! There are 4 different Kurdish languages (they also write in arabic, cyrillic, syriac & latin alphabets) please do not change foreign words if you don't know the letters! You wrote eenabalat l'laaj!! ﺟﻪﻻﻝ ﺗﺎﻟﻪﺑﺎﻧﻰ IS correct

ﺟ=J ﻪ=aw ﻻ=LA (2 letters "lam"&"alef" mix this way to avoid confusion w/Al"of" LA means "no" in Arabic ﻝ=L lam

ﺗ=T ﺎ=A alef ﻟ=L lam ﻪ=aw ﺑ=B ﺎ=A ﻧ=N ﻰ=ee

I just checked the history of this page, and one one edit, someone summarized it by "Jalal Talabani is written as ﻰﻧ ﺎﺑﻪﻟﺎﺗ ﻝﻻﻪﺟ /Celal Talebanî in Kurdish". A Google search gave some definitions for ﻰﻧ ﺎﺑﻪﻟﺎﺗ ﻝﻻﻪﺟ, though not many. I changed it to ﻰﻧ ﺎﺑﻪﻟﺎﺗ ﻝﻻﻪﺟ, it's definately a lot more accurate then ﺟﻪﻻﻝ ﺗﺎﻟﻪﺑﺎﻧﻰ.--Fox Mccloud 18:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I just realized, ﺟﻪﻻﻝ ﺗﺎﻟﻪﺑﺎﻧﻰ is ﻰﻧ ﺎﺑﻪﻟﺎﺗ ﻝﻻﻪﺟ spelled backwards, but with letter atached as if it was right.--Fox Mccloud 18:23, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

There seems to be a compatibility problem with the Kurdish text. Whatever Microsoft Explorer shows correctly, Mozilla Firefox shows backwards, and vice-versa. This doesn't appear to happen with Arabic script. Does anyone know how to fix this?--128.139.226.37 01:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Replace it with Arabic script since it is the same script, if that doesn't work, try the Farsi modified Arabic script. --Inahet 19:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

1st President?
Was it official policy of the Iraqi transitional government to start the order of presidents over again, back at one? If so, can this be mentioned (and cited) in the article? If not, Iraq has had presidents ever since the monarchy was overthrown in 1958.... Talabani would be about the ninth, I'd guess. Thanks! Fsotrain09 02:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC) He is the first Kurdish President of Iraq, not the first president of Iraq.

Written by the CIA?
This page seems to be soley complimentary. To such an extreme that the author of this page has been comprimised. The page should be rewritten with a neutral view point.Clowshoes72 14:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

What negative things have you heard about him? The rules on biographies of living persons tend to push them towards being favorable, but you can add negative information with good sources. Or maybe he's just a really good guy? Warren Dew 00:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

The CPA-commissioned opinion poll by ICRSS (20-29 April 2004) shows Talabani's support as (11/10/-24/-50) in the categories (strongly support/somewhat support/somewhat oppose/strongly oppose). Compare with al-Sadr's (32/35/-19/-10) and Jaferi's (39/19/-12/-26). Of all the names in that opinion poll, Talabani had the biggest negative rating and the smallest positive rating. And he is, of course, president! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.231.145.254 (talk • contribs)

 * The problem is that most of the "nice" information is obtained only from American sources that attempt to portray most of the things that are happening in Iraq as something positive. If we have an independent source that confirms that he is indeed a "nice" guy, then the tag can be removed. Messhermit 01:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I am reading the book "See No Evil" by former CIA officer Robert Baer. He has a lot in here on Talabani. He seems like a likable guy but according to this book was very much a part of the inter-Kurdish war in 1995 and also led an attempt to overthrow Saddam Hussein in 1995 and was let down by the U.S., who while supposedly favoring any overthrow of Saddam Hussein, failed to acknowledge or provide support.

 * I removed the following section because it is strongly POV (it reads like his resume or a tribute to him)

"A politician par excellence, Mr. Talabani is a secularist and a believer in democracy, inter-ethnic harmony, equality and women’s rights. He is known for his affable personality, his love of politics and his broad minded outlook. He has defined the PUK as an internationalist party and Mr. Talabani has made a point of publishing in Arabic. A strategic thinker and believer in reconciliation, he has reached out to Turkey and to the Sunni Arab community in Iraq to build bridges. Mr. Talabani's actions have stood for progressive politics, for a society based on social democratic values with a market economy. Close to his political base, open to debate, and quick to tell a joke, he has established a close rapport with party members. His elevation to the presidency of Iraq is recognition of his fifty years of service to the cause of freedom and democracy."

 * Also I will add the unreferenced tag to the article since it lacks references. --Inahet 17:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

This article's source
Hi all,

The reason that this article is so complimentary towards Mr. Talabani is because it is lifted almost verbatim (with only a few deletions of excessively laudatory bits) from his biography on the official website of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. See http://www.puk.org/web/htm/about/talab.html and follow the link on the bottom to the biography's successive pages.

Not that this is necessarily a terrifically bad thing, but a citation of the Wikipedia article's less-than-neutral source might have been a good thing...

Kellan

This article is written very well. Thank you

First Picture
I changed the 'angry' picture to one that looks less emotional. Of course, the new picture has the problem of not being an actual portrait, and some random guy in the back, but I think it should stay until a decent portrait is found. The Behnam 01:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Some Random Guy? That's Donald Rumsfeld Genuis

April 7 or April 22
When did Talabani becomes the 1st State President of Iraq? I believe April 22, 2006 (sworn in before the National Assembly), should be the given date. April 7, 2005 to April 22, 2006 was a tenure as 'Provisional' or 'Transitional' President. I've made date change to the Succession box, and the Infobox (removing the 'transitionl bit' its too confusing looking). GoodDay 20:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Article, needs a second section in the Infobox, to deal with Talabani's tenure as 'interim' President: April 7, 2005 to April 22, 2006. GoodDay 20:50, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've reverted all my previous edits. Talabani did in fact, become State President, on April 7th, 2005. GoodDay 21:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I NEED THE CONTACT E MAIL OF THE OFFICE OF THE PRESEDANT OF IRAQ MR JALAL ALTALABANI

Leno
Any truth to Leno's joke that he is in the United States to treat his obesity.

No... He left because it was hot

Education
Is there any supporting reference to the statement "Regardless of all the education he received, he is still an illeterate."?

This should be removed
I'm not an expert, but sentence "As you all know, Talabanis are in war against USA and western civilization." doesn't sound very encyclopaedic. Also the "illiterate" thing in Education is probably a very funny joke .... (Vonkad 21:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC))

Failed assassination on wife
I added this even if this only concerns his wife, since it demonstrates the immense danger and violence there: On May 4, 2008, Jalal Talabani's wife, Hiro Ibrahim Ahmed, Iraq's first lady escaped unhurt from a bomb attack in Baghdad that hit her motorcade, injuring 4 body guards, while she proceeded to the National Theater, Karrada district. --Florentino floro (talk) 08:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Talbani
Is there a reason why the name is shown as Talbani instead of Talabani? The link to the page is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalal_Talbani as well. TheDarkLordSeth (talk) 00:13, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The name shows up as Jalal Talabani for me. The page you're referring to is a redirect to this page for people that misspell his name ~ Zirguezi 08:33, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I fixed the name that was used as Jalal Talbani in the Oepration Hammer article. Thanks. TheDarkLordSeth (talk) 10:54, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Secret Society
I removed the reference to Talabani creating a "secret society" while in school. Interesting claim, but since he's a living person I don't think we can post this without a source. Ubruni (talk) 16:58, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Heath problems
BBC reports that he has suffered a stroke. This could turn out the be good source for a health section for this article but I'd like to suggest we wait until these current events play out to see what has happened. There is no point is adding sources now as most of them are contradicting each other(Reuters->Only stroke BBC->Stroke and coma CNN-> "not in good condition"). ~ Zirguezi 22:12, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Death?
The page lists Talabani as having died on 26 October 2013. I can not find an obituary for him online and http://rudaw.net/english/kurdistan/211120132 indicates that he is alive as of 21 November 2013. Is it appropriate to remove the date of death or is there a citation available for his death? 99.102.230.125 (talk) 12:23, 22 November 2013 (UTC)Donald November 22, 2013
 * I removed any mention of his death. Until his office announces anything he is not dead ~ Zirguezi 19:31, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Box in top-right corner
The box in the top right-hand corner says that he died aged 83-84 (presumably because while the exact date of his death is given, the exact date of his birth is not). However, it was mentioned on Last Word tonight (October 15 2017) that he was 83 when he died and this is consistent with what is written in the main body of the article, so the box in the top-right-corner can now be altered. Vorbee (talk) 19:48, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Since there is no indication that his exact birth date was known, the reported age figure is most likely only based on the spurious Wikipedia-originated date which all the media were repeating. Mewulwe (talk) 19:54, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Butyl nitrite

Butyl nitrite is the organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)3ONO. It is an alkyl nitrite made from n-butanol. Butyl nitrite is used recreationally as poppers. Synonyms include 1-butyl nitrite, n-butyl nitrite and nitrous acid butyl ester.

It can be prepared by treating nitrous acid (generated in situ) with n-butanol.

Applications
Butyl nitrite is one of the compounds used as poppers, inhalant drugs that induce brief euphoria. It was developed by Clifford Hassing, a graduate student in Los Angeles, as a faster-acting analog of alkyl nitrite. Among the inhalants' trade names are Rush, Locker Room, and Bolt. They are sometimes marketed as "Cleaner", liquid incense, or room odorizer. It is used for its euphoric effect and for relaxing the smooth muscles during sexual intercourse.

Talk:Populous (video game)

PC version
Populous was also available for the PC, though the Wikipedia entry seems not aware of it. I owned it. It ran off a single 5 1/4 floppy, and had head-to-head capability, which I would often play over my 1200 baud modem with a friend. It often locked up the computer often from line noise, which meant we rarely completed an entire game.

Populace was the first real-time-strategy game, in my opinion. The head-to-head play resembled Dune and C&C, which many people claim to be the first rts for the PC platform.

 * Yes, I had it too and used to play it (for fps reasons) in 4-color CGA mode. I also had the "Promised Lands" expansion disc, which allowed you to play some very strange races (IIRC, there were Atari vs. Commodore nations, French revolutionaries vs. Royalists, and some bizarre pulsating abstract alien things) Mmartins 07:33, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

 * In fact, I still have the discs. If I can find a way to install them I will add some PC screenshots Mmartins 07:47, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Populous was a major reason that I purchased my first IBM compatible PC waaaay back in 1989. Lone Odessan 23:55, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

SNES version
Did the Super Nintendo version of Populous contain the same types of levels as the first expansion? I remember the French revolution style level in the SNES version and the video/maybe also computer game-software level. There was some type of alien level on the SNES version as well.The Tollan 01:40, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Error
"Peter Molyneux of the Bullfrog development studio led development, and mentioned in an interview that the reason the player could manipulate terrain was that he was too lazy to program it."

Should that not be "the reason the player couldn't manipulate terrain..." ? 85.165.59.28 8 July 2005 13:57 (UTC)

No, the quote suggests that terrain editing was not introduced to enhance gameplay but to offload the task (of creating challenging/interesting landscapes) from Peter.
 * I reworded this as it didn't scan very well. Cpc464 12:01, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Cheat codes...
Found on the 'net some really handy "cheat codes" for Populous, The Beginning, the PC game. They are as follows: '''Press Tab+F11, type "byrne", press Enter, then type these: Spells, ALL=Tab+F3,Buildings=Tab+F4,Mana=Tab+F5. This will get the player ALL of the buildings, ALL of the Spells, ALL of the Mana. To use the spells repeatedly, expecially the "Angel of Death" spell repeatedly, press Tab+F5 repeatedly. This is for the gamer if the gamer keeps getting defeated, eaten one time too many by the monster, shot up by the enemy tribes' firewarriors.''' Martial Law 06:32, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

On each level, you have to re-enter these three codes. Martial Law 06:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I've used this in the 1st scenario onward, got 20 monsters and they quickly made short work of the enemy tribes. Martial Law 06:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

How to play
I was expecting to find here instructions about how to play Populous, as well as a good (and detailed) description of the gameplay. I never understood how Populous work, and I never really played it because of this.
 * Try the game's entry at gamefaqs by clicking here and selecting the appropriate version and platform for you here Elijya 08:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Even after your suggestion, I think this article will be much more complete with some overview about gameplay, some rules, the icons descriptions... Currently this article does not have too much content as it can. --CrazyTerabyte 03:28, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

How To Play Objective: You activly continue to make alterations to the conditions that your opponents are underagainst, in an attempt to decrease thier numbers [thereby influencing the outcome of the final armmagedon]. Simultaneously, you aid your own people - worshippers by positive expressiosn of your miracles (as the God or Demon you play) to aid in increasing thier numbers of population.

This is repeated for a preset number of minutes through the use of 'miracles' Once the set number of minutes has passed 'Armageddon' takes palce, pitting each of the people against each other in a final fight to the end. If you have played effectively, your miralces have affected thier numbers sufficiently to sway the game toward your winning. IN other words, you may have wiped out enough of your opponenets worshippers using titleswaves, Earth Quakes and other various miracles, so that onces the armageddon does take place, you are assured a place as a final winner.These miracles are varied based on which 'God' or 'Demon' you're playing at a given moment and how much 'spirit' your worshippers have generated [ by your aid and generosity] to spend on those miracles.

You control the landscape (level ground) upon which your people (worshippers) are able to build upon. While they build and live in thier homes, they generate 'spirit' which is your 'fuel' for doing miracles. The more 'spirit' generated & saved by the peoples worshipping, the greater the miracles you can perform therefor the greater you affect the opponenets numbers and mortality therefor swaying the final armageddon. (are you getting it yet? These Directions [ to your worshippers and opponenets] we'll call miracles are indicated by buttons glowing blue. The more spirit power saved by the worshippers, the greater the miracles and greater miracles available.

You actively increase the spirit amount by helping your worshippers attain larger dwellings (houses) by providing larger flat-lands. WHile you are helping your own people to prosper, you also use the negative expresssion of your Gods or Demons capabilities to 'slow-down' the very same obtainment by your opponenets at the same time.Again, after doing this for a set number of minutes, Armageddon takes place and the strong survive leaving only the winner.. the strong...... hopefully YOU.

This has been a very gneralized description of how to play Populous on the Nuntendo DS. See contained instructions for greater detail.

populous4.com
I've been removing the repeatedly added link to this site on the basis that essentially its only content is an (illegal?) download of the game, but I'm not getting close enough to my 3RR limit that I don't want to do any more without seeking the views of other editors. Anyone? (Note the link has also been repeatedly added to Populous II, Populous: The Beginning and Populous (series)).

Just throw them out. Someone has reputedly placed a virus on one or more of these links. It really makes a mess out of your computer. Martial Law 05:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC) :)

 * If you actually follow the other external links then you can find a download to the same file that populous4.com is offering, hosting on their server. Populous4.com was created simply to allow people to play a great game online (a game which is currently out of print and whose creators are out of business) with little fuss. I also find it horrific that you can even mention the word 'virus' in the same context as populous4, its an obvious attempt to diminutive populous4's reputation, which in my opinion is uncalled for. Allot of people are thankful for the creation of populous4.com because it ensures the survival of a small online community by encouraging newcomers.

 * I am sorry to say that i have no direct proof of the following, but i was there with the small community of people which helped continue Populous. We have asked one of the directors, (forget his name at the moment, could point it out if i saw it) and he gave us some of the code for the game, as well as permission to continue the game.

Playstation Network / PSP and PS3 versions
I removed the line that stated Populous was made available on the PlayStation Network for the PSP and PS3. I can find no evidence of this on-line anywhere or on the PSN itself through playstation.com. However, this may be because I am in North America and this was only released in another region such as Europe. If this is the case, please feel free to re-add the line but state which region(s) it is available in and link to something that backs this up. That said, of course the PS1 version (disc based) can be played on any PS3. Choccy (talk) 00:08, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Removed the line claiming Molyneux had a top-down Populous cartridge made to combat motion sickness (fact challenged for two years now). I can't find a source for this, and Populous' original platforms all used floppy disks, not cartridges. Find a citation if you want to put this back.

Something about the "more information to be supplied later" makes me wonder if this is a teaser for a commercial operation selling books or videos or pheromone scent.

Anyone (band)

Anyone is a band from Southern California. The band emerged from the earlier Sylvia that was formed in the late 1980s by Riz Story, Taylor Hawkins and Jon Davison. The band's name and lineup changed several times before the release of their 2001 self-titled album on Roadrunner Records. Riz Story, the lead singer, is the only member of the band that has remained since its inception.

History
The group developed from the earlier band Sylvia, consisting of Story, drummer Taylor Hawkins (later of the Foo Fighters), guitarist Sean Murphy and Jon "Juano" Davison (later of Yes), which continued when Hawkins joined Sass Jordan's touring band, and Murphy began to work with bands Magdalen and Divinorum, and pursued a solo career. This led to the permanent name Anyone in 1995.

In 1996, Anyone's first demo album Rats Live on no Evil Star (a palindrome) was recorded. Anyone was described by Roadrunner Records in 2001 as "the most innovative band of the new millennium!" - They were offered the biggest record deal in the label's history up to that point. They released their full-length studio debut Anyone in 2001.

Johnny Ransom replaced David (Nipples) Murray as drummer in 2002, and both Ransom and "Static" were replaced in 2004 by Mike Boano as drummer, Miki Black as guitarist and keyboardist, and Miles Martin on bass.

Re-emergence
The debut album Echoes and Traces was released worldwide on September 1, 2014, along with a music video for the first single "Beautiful World". Five songs from the album are featured in the film and soundtrack for Riz Story's motion picture, A Winter Rose.

In 2018, it was announced via the band's official website that a full-length documentary about the band would be released in 2019. Plans were also announced for the release of a new album entitled On the Ending Earth. In August 2020, Anyone released its third studio album, On the Ending Earth....

In January 2021, the band released the single My Death as a tribute to David Bowie who previously recorded the song.

On October 12, 2021, Anyone released a double album, its fourth studio album, In Humanity.

On November 30, 2023, Anyone released its fifth studio album, Miracles In The Nothingness, a second double album.

Music
"Maximum Acid" is the term the press used to describe their sound, as a fusion of hard progressive rock and psychedelia. Their early sound was described as alternative rock and nu metal.

Talk:Darkstalkers

Arcade Game list not complete
The list of games (the one that is not in the table) lacks of the Arcade Games Vampire Savior 2 and Vampire Hunter 2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.228.104.210 (talk) 07:49, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Untitled
I'm deleting the "Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers IV" section because it's nothing but pure speculation at this point. --72.196.196.198 (talk) 10:21, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Vampire/Night Warriors/Darkstalkers Canon
The true Vampire/Dalkstalkers/Night Warriors canon.(LonerXL (talk) 23:52, 21 August 2009 (UTC))

 * Darkstalkers/The Night Warriors/Vampire (1994)
 * Darkstalkers 2/Darkstalkers' Revenge/Vampire Hunter (1995)
 * Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior (1998)

remains so to this day
I'm removing this because it sounds like POV and it isn't really true if you consider the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fighting games. --Feitclub 03:40, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

The OVA anime
Who wasn't in the OVA series? A lot of characters appeared just to fight Pyron (and lose) but this article suggests someone was missing. Who? Rikuo maybe? --Feitclub 04:00, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * As I recall, Jedah, B.B.Hood, Lilith and Q-Bee (the newest characters) were not in the OVA. Otherwise, everyone else was a story character or tossed into that scene near the end with Pyron going on a rampage; I'm sure I saw Rikuo in there. -- VederJuda 20:00, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

If nothing else, Rikuo is in the intro.
 * I remember he appeared briefly in one scene losing a fight to Pyron... Vicco Lizcano 16:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC) (Tell me where I'm wrong)

Jedah, B.B. Hood, Lilith, and Q-Bee were not in the OVA because it was set in the second game's timeline. They weren't in the series til the third game. Rikuo appeared in an intro fighting Bishamon and was last seen being beaten by Pyron. I felt it was rather unfair he, Anakaris, Sasquatch, and Victor got beaten so easily by him because each character has their own strengths and Pyron isn't that hard in the games. - Suffor

Characters with appearances in other series
It might be useful to elaborate there, state what other games these characters have appeared in. Most are probably just featured in the Marvel Vs. Capcom games, but if they've made other substantial appearances -- like Morrigan as a playable character in the Dreamcast port of GunBird 2 -- they should be mentioned. --alpha5099 1:45, July 2, 2005 (EST)
 * B.B.Hodd appears as a playable character in Capcom's Canon Spike, along with Megaman, Cammy and Charlie (From Street Figther).Vicco Lizcano 16:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC) (Tell me where I'm wrong)
 * The correct wikilink is: Cannon Spike.Vicco Lizcano 16:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC) (Tell me where I'm wrong)

Demitri
How is it that Baby Bonnie Hood has her own article but we don't have oen for Demitri Maximov? That seems odd...

Q-Bee
I can't find any sources to back this up but doesnt the 'Q' in 'Q-Bee' stand for queen? Has anyone else heard that. Also, is "soul bee" what she is known as in Japan because if so then that needs to be clarified?

Categories and Naming
We need to decide this once and for all: should characters be listed in categories by their first or last names? For example, "Morrigan Aensland" or "Aensland, Morrigan". My suggestion is that for the Darkstalkers characters category, it should be by first name because that's how they're usually refered to in the games. For other categories it should be based on what's done there already; if characters appear in a category where it last name first, then we'll do that. It's really getting annoying seeing people change it back and forth; it's like watching kindergardeners going "Mine!", "No it's mine!". -- VederJuda 18:57, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Last name. It's been discussed at the cvg wikipedia project.--Dangerous-Boy 20:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know if this is correct?
I play a table top RPG called World of Darkness (WoD) by White-Wolf. My GM is one of the few players who started playing it when it first came out. You may be wondering why I am telling you this. Well, I remember talking to him about Darkstalkers and he said, and I quote, "Darkstalkers used to be an aproved World of Darkness game." Which I take to mean that Darkstalkers used to be considered a part of the World of Darkness universe, does anyone know if this is true?

what exactly does the word "darkstalker" mean? I didn't see any info on that.

 * As far as I know, that's not true... Darkstalkers is completely different from the World of Darkness. However, White Wolf may have mentioned it as an influence in a book somewhere, or made passing reference. That doesn't make it an "Approved Game", especially since who would care that a little company like White Wolf approved a game made by Capcom? White Wolf barely gets any cover space on their own games... --Serow 20:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

The World of Darkness and White Wolf logos did once appear on the US flyers for Vampire Saviour which is the sequel to Darkstalkers. See the external links.

Confusion???
I am completely confuse about the darkstalkers 3 Us game, I got it has all 18 characters in it, and was released in 1998.

 * Home console versions have all characters, the arcade versions don't (because they've already reached the 48MB limit on the CPS2 board's RAM, Japan-only alternate versions (By the name of Vampire Hunter 2 and Vampire Savior 2) were made to replace certain characters with others that can not fit on the board. Leileilol 07:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Moves
Is it possible to put everyone's moves and their effects on their profiles? 76.170.109.110 05:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

 * It would be more appropriate to provide a moves list as an external link, since this info isn't really encyclopedic. Ham Pastrami 05:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

DiC vs Graz
There have been a couple of edits now where the credit for the American TV series was changed from DiC to Graz. Searching for "darkstalkers" and either of the company names shows that DiC returns a lot more hits, but Graz seems to return hits that are more closely tied to the production (such as personal resumes), though these are not reliable. My gut feeling is that both companies were involved in the production. Someone who has a copy of the show can look up the credits to see what is what, but in any case we need a reliable source to verify. I don't want to keep reverting edits if they are true, but at the same time the credit for DiC currently has more weight and it'd be preferable to settle the matter definitively than compromise by having two unsourced credits. Ham Pastrami 04:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Another thought occurred to me. If we can't find any reliable sources for the US cartoon, then perhaps it fails WP:N altogether and should be removed. It's already kind of a stretch that the cartoon is being discussed here rather than being made to stand on its own merit as an article. We could make a Trivia/Spinoff section and move all the merchandising stuff there. I seriously doubt that any non-game material is really significant enough to warrant more than a passing mention. In fact, this is what I'm going to do. If it terribly offends you, revert. Ham Pastrami 01:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Well consider this. I saw the show when it was originally on, and I never saw the DiC logo anywhere. I only saw the Graz Entertainment logo followed by the Summit Media logo. I swear that's all I saw. The entire series was released by ADV. You can watch it if you don't believe me, but I know what I saw.

And another thing. Put into perspective, Google isn't a realiable source either. Sure, there may be more hits, but that doesn't account for anything. I know what I saw. Maybe it would be best if the production company just wasn't mentioned at all since there doesn't seem to be any consensus one way or the other.Brittany Ka 10:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm confused.
There's no indication of the platforms and areas where the games were released. --AnY FOUR! (talk) 18:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * For the series, it says so in the infobox, right under "Platforms". For individual games, they are listed in the game's summary. Ham Pastrami (talk) 19:25, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Infobox cleanup
Well, I finally got tired of the overloaded infobox that the article was using. Since it seems like there is some aversion to splitting up the article, I opted to introduce collapsible infoboxes instead, so that each game can at least have its own clean infobox. So far I've only gotten the 3 main games. I may get around to the other titles eventually, but if someone feels like doing it before me, by all means. Ham Pastrami (talk) 19:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Proposal - Do a Background Stages section?
I wouldn't mind doing that. Most articles like for Street fighter has one.

So what do you guys think? Blueknightex (talk) 12:31, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

More articles?
While it is often appropriate to group some things together, this particular article 'contains' a video game series, manga, comic, anime, and American animated series. It's bursting at the seams and ready to explode. Shouldn't at least some of this (the animated versions, for instance) be branched off into separate articles? (Don't look at me! My job is just to gripe and walk away disappointed. ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.86.17 (talk) 05:27, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Split
At the very least: the 3 main games and an animated and anime series. --94.246.150.68 (talk) 16:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Why is the "possibility" of a new game relevant information?
It's just a possibility, and not a very high possibility that we will see a new installment any time soon, or at all. I don't think gossip and off handed mentions by a lone developer should constitute as valuable information. As a long time fan of the series, I have to say that that section will give readers the wrong idea about the prospects of a new entry. Prospects that seem almost certain, but in reality, are not. This leads to cases of misinformation. — Preceding --184.78.0.157 (talk) 05:27, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Link character list
, I know the same info exists in both locations, but List of Darkstalkers characters recently survived two AfD's, so I thought it should be more obviously linked somewhere (since navboxes don't show up in mobile), and I do not want the community's time wasted with a third AfD. I was considering removing the character list from this page since it's redundant if the info exists on a separate page, but I didn't know if removing such a large amount of content would be seen as disruptive. Unnamed anon (talk) 16:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * That's a fair point. Honestly I still feel even with the reception brought up the list should be in here, all of that can work into this article just fine and a lot of the backlash was due to the BLAR. I'll put the main link back and approach it again later after I've gotten the reception from the AfD worked in.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:32, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do also see your point in the 2nd AfD that having the list here does strengthen the article's notability, as it directly shows that Felicia, Morrigan, and to a lesser extent Hsein-Ko and Lilith are often reused in crossovers despite Darkstalkers' dormancy. That's also part of why I kept the list on this page even after linking the list's page. Unnamed anon (talk) 16:49, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
