Ferenc Földes Secondary School

Ferenc Földes Secondary School (Földes Ferenc Gimnázium) is a secondary school in Miskolc, Hungary. It is famous for being one of the best secondary schools of the country.

History
The school came into being in 1953 with the unification of György Fráter Catholic Secondary School and József Lévay Protestant Secondary School. As a successor of these renowned institutions, it has a history of more than 450 years.

The Protestant Secondary School was first mentioned in 1560 by Jenő Zoványi, in a work about the history of Protestantism in Hungary. In 1731 supervision over the school was given to the Roman Catholic Church. In 1881 the primary school was separated from the secondary school. In 1944, during the German occupation of the country the building was used for military purposes, and the school could move back only in 1946. On July 15, 1948, like all other schools in Hungary at the time, it was expropriated by the State.

The other predecessor, the Catholic Secondary School was founded in 1729 by Didák Kelemen, a member of the Conventual Friars Minor. Its first building was a small one with only two classrooms. It stood on today's Kazinczy Street, not far from the present building of the school. During the following 100 years, the institution had to move several times, since its building was destroyed for various reasons on numerous occasions. During the war of independence in 1848–49 the building was used as part of a military hospital. The big flood of 1878 damaged the building, and the school lost its library of several thousand books.

In 1886 it went into state property, and was renamed Royal Catholic Secondary School. Between 1910 and 1911 the new building of the school – designed by Gyula Orczy – was built on Heroes Square and the same building is used by the school since then.

From 1914 to 1916 there was a military hospital in the building. In 1922 the school took the name of György Fráter because of a new law made in the previous year mandating that all secondary schools have to be named after important persons in Hungarian history. In 1936 it already had 946 students, which made it the second-largest school in Hungary.

During World War II a military hospital used the building again, and in 1944 it was hit by a bomb. The school could move back only in 1945, but in 1949 it had to move out again, because the Ministry gave the building to the newly formed Technical University (the predecessor of today's University of Miskolc.) In 1952 the university moved to the newly built district, University Town, and the secondary school – which took the name of Ferenc Földes in 1950 – got its building back.

In 1953 the two schools were united. The school bears the name of Földes ever since then, except for a short period during the Revolution in 1956, when it bore the name of István Széchenyi. Since the end of the Socialist era (1989) debates over name change arise every now and then, mostly because Földes was a Communist, but it is unlikely the name of the school will be changed, since it is kind of a trademark by now, and virtually the only thing Ferenc Földes is known about is that the school is named after him. Földes did not live during the Socialist era but earlier, when being a Communist meant being opposed to Fascism.

In 1991 the Földes Secondary School was the first secondary school of the city to start six-year courses. (In the past decades Hungarian children spent 8 years in primary school, which was followed by 4 years in secondary school. In the 1990s several secondary schools started six-year courses, where students could apply after they've spent six years in primary school, and eight-year courses, where they could apply after 4 years in primary school – see Education in Hungary for further details. Currently, Földes Secondary School does not plan to start eight-year courses.)

In the early 2000s, the school received government funding and was able to expand the building. This solved the problem of insufficient space in the building, which previously compounded by the introduction of six-year courses and dividing students into smaller groups for foreign language classes. The new wing has a new gym, larger and more modern than the three gyms in the old part of the building, and a larger library. Construction was finished in 2003.

Among the traditions of the school are the Földes Ball and the "Day of Culture" when students perform plays and music.

Coldingham

Coldingham is a village and parish in Berwickshire in the Scottish Borders. It lies a short distance inland from Coldingham Bay, three miles northeast of the fishing village of Eyemouth.

Parish
The parish lies in the east of the Lammermuir district. It is the second-largest civil parish by area in Berwickshire county, after Lauder. It is bounded on the north-west by the North Sea, on the east by the parish of Eyemouth, on the south-east by Ayton on the south by Chirnside and Bunkle, on the west by Abbey St Bathans and on the north by Cockburnspath.

Besides the village of Coldingham, the parish contains the villages of: The civil parish is divided between the Community Council areas of Coldingham, St Abbs, Reston and Auchencrow, and Grantshouse. It was included in the former Berwickshire District of Borders Region, by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, from 1975 to 1996.
 * St Abbs (formerly Coldingham Shore)
 * Reston
 * Auchencrow
 * Grantshouse

Before the Reformation, a vaguely defined jurisdiction known as Coldinghamshire was linked to Coldingham Priory and extended along the east coast of Berwickshire. By the 15th century, there is some indication that the civil administration was gradually attaining paramount sway with the consent of the Church itself. In 1406, the lordship of the Priory was held by Archibald, Earl of Douglas. In 1414, the Prior and Chapter of Durham (the ecclesiastical superiors of the priory) signed a deed constituting the Earl of Douglas "sovereign bailie" and governor of the house and barony of Coldingham. The barony of Coldingham, which included Eyemouth and other areas adjacent to the parish of Coldingham, continued as a jurisdiction into the 17th and 18th centuries.

Because of the size of the parish, an additional chapel was set up for the interior or western part of the parish in 1794. With the opening of a new trunk road in the area (now the A1) in 1816, communications between Grantshouse and Reston were so improved, it was decided in 1836 to erect a church midway between the villages, at Houndwood. Houndwood was made an ecclesiastical parish for the western part of Coldingham in 1851. This parish is now linked to Ayton and is served by places of worship at Reston (formerly a free church) and Grantshouse. The church became a crematorium in 2015.

A Parochial Board was established under the Poor Law (Scotland) Act 1845. With the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1894, Coldingham Parish Council was established, and it carried out poor relief and various public works, such as the acquisition and improvement of Houndwood cemetery in 1901. Civil parishes in Scotland, as units of local government, were abolished in 1929 but have been used later for census and other purposes.

In 1891 a Boundary Commission transferred a detached portion of Oldhamstocks parish, namely Butterdean, to Coldingham. It was already in Berwickshire, despite its mother parish being in East Lothian.

The civil parish has an area of 25379 acre and a population of 1,919 (in 2011).

Village
The settlement of Coldingham has a population of 563 (in 2011).

Nearby Coldingham Bay has a sandy secluded beach popular with surfers, with rows of beach huts.

Monastery
There was a monastery of high order on this site as early as AD 660 when it is recorded that Etheldreda, the queen of Egfrid, became a nun at the Monastery of Coldingham, then under the management of Æbbe, the Elder, aunt of her husband. Bede describes it as "the Monastery of Virgins" and states that in 679, the monastery burnt down. It was rebuilt but was again destroyed by fire at the hands of a raiding party of Danes in 870. This time the ruins were not rebuilt, it would appear, until 1098, when King Edgar founded the Priory of Coldingham in honour of St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne. It became the caput for the Barony of Coldingham, with the prior as the feudal lord.

The priory continued in its religious purposes until 1560, when it was partially destroyed during the Scottish Reformation. However, a portion of it continued its religious activities until 1650, when it was fortified against Oliver Cromwell. After a siege of two days, the main tower in which the besieged defended themselves was so shattered by artillery that they were forced to capitulate. This great tower of the original priory finally collapsed about 1777. The ruins of about 40% of the original priory church were rebuilt in 1855; it is today used as the parish church and is the most notable building in the parish.

Ogre Battle

Ogre Battle (オウガバトル) is a series of five tactical role-playing and real-time strategy video games developed by Quest Corporation and is currently owned by Square Enix through Square's acquisition of Quest. There are five main games in the series, starting with the release of Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen in 1993.

Overview
The first video game in the series, Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen, was released in 1993 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan, and two years later in North America. The title was a real-time strategy role playing game, set in a medieval fantasy world. The second game in the series, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, was released in 1995 in Japan. It was a turn-based tactical role-playing game making use of isometric graphics, and the title is largely considered to be "exceptionally influential" to the genre. Two subsequent games in the Ogre Battle series – Ogre Battle 64 and Ogre Battle Gaiden: Prince of Zenobia – follow the real-time strategy gameplay of the original title in the franchise, while Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis follows the turn-based tactical role-playing gameplay elements of the second game in the series.

The Knight of Lodis, released in 2001, is the last original release in the franchise. In 2010, Tactics Ogre was remade for the PlayStation Portable as Tactics Ogre: Wheel of Fortune, but the characters, story and setting are identical to the 1995 release. The creator of the series, Yasumi Matsuno, directed the remake of the game. Matsuno was also responsible for another highly influential title, Final Fantasy Tactics, originally released in 1997. Though the title bears no relation to the Ogre Battle series, Final Fantasy Tactics is considered by some critics to be a spiritual successor to Tactics Ogre. As of 2016, the franchise mostly remains active through re-releases of the first two games for the Nintendo's Virtual Console service in Japan, North America and Europe.

Both "Ogre Battle" and "The March of the Black Queen" were titles to Queen songs from their 1974 album Queen II. In addition, "Let Us Cling Together" is the subtitle to their song "Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)" from 1976's A Day at the Races.

Related software
A prerelease demo of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together was made available in early October 1995 for the Super Famicom add-on Satellaview. It consists of a battle in a preset map where the player has full control over two opposing teams, similar to the training mode in the full version of game.

In 1996, Bothtec Corporation released in Japan a CD-ROM containing a collection of images and artwork used in Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. The package is titled Tactics Ogre Complete Works and also includes icons, wallpapers, databases and a screen saver. It is available for Windows 95 and Mac OS.

Sales
The series has sold over 2 million copies worldwide, placing it among the best-selling Japanese role-playing game franchises.

Critical reception
Among critics, the series was acclaimed both in Japan and North America. According to the review aggregator GameRankings, the SNES release of March of the Black Queen has an average aggregate rating of 84%, while the PlayStation port of Let Us Cling Together has an average of 81%. Ogre Battle 64 has an average of 86% and The Knight of Lodis 84%. In Japan, gaming magazine Weekly Famitsu scored the Super Famicom releases of March of the Black Queen and Let Us Cling Together 33/40 and 34/40, respectively. The magazine also provided high scores for Ogre Battle 64 (33/40) and The Knight of Lodis (34/40), while Prince of Zenobia received a slightly lower score, 28/40. The PSP remake of Let Us Cling Together is the most critically acclaimed release in the series, with an average of 88% at GameRankings and a score of 36/40 from Weekly Famitsu.

Csepel Island

Csepel Island (Hungarian: Csepel-sziget, ) is an island in the Danube in Hungary. It is 48 km long; its width after 3 km sections of bifurcation and rejoining (confluence) varies from 6 to 8 km. It has an area of 257 km2 and its population is 165,000.

The isle extends south from Budapest; its northern point or section is Csepel – Budapest's District XXI. Most of the island is accessible from Budapest by the suburban railway. Towns include Ráckeve, Szigetszentmiklós, Szigethalom and Tököl.

Csepel island was the first centre of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (honfoglalás: "conquest of the homeland"), being the early homestead of Árpád's tribe. The island is named after Árpád's horse groom, Csepel.

It features Hungary's tallest structure, Lakihegy Tower, a 314 m radio mast used today intermittently for power network control purposes.

Paul Rudolph (architect)

Paul Marvin Rudolph (October 23, 1918 – August 8, 1997) was an American architect and the chair of Yale University's Department of Architecture for six years, known for his use of reinforced concrete and highly complex floor plans. His most famous work is the Yale Art and Architecture Building (A&A Building), a spatially-complex Brutalist concrete structure. He is one of the modernist architects considered an early practitioner of the Sarasota School of Architecture.

Early life, education, and personal life
Paul Marvin Rudolph was born October 23, 1918, in Elkton, Kentucky. His father, Keener L. Rudolph, was an itinerant Methodist preacher, and through their travels the son was exposed to the architecture of the American South. His mother, Eurye (Stone) Rudolph, had artistic interests. Rudolph also showed early talent at painting and music.

Rudolph earned his bachelor's degree in architecture at Auburn University (then known as Alabama Polytechnic Institute) in 1940, and then moved to the Harvard Graduate School of Design to study with Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. After three years, he left to serve as an officer in the United States Naval Reserve at Brooklyn Navy Yard for three years during WWII, working on design and construction of merchant marine ships. He then resumed studies at Harvard, where his classmates included I.M. Pei and Philip Johnson. Rudolph was awarded his master's degree in 1947.

Paul Rudolph was gay, though not openly, due to the political and societal climate of the time. He lived in his Beekman Street apartment with his partner, Ernst Wagner.

Sarasota, Florida
Following his studies at Harvard, Rudolph moved to Sarasota, Florida, and partnered with Ralph Twitchell for four years, until he started his own practice in 1952. Rudolph's Sarasota time is now part of the period labeled Sarasota School of Architecture in his career.

Notable for its appearance in the 1958 book Masters of Modern Architecture, the W. R. Healy Guest House – nicknamed "The Cocoon House" – was a one-story guest house built in 1950 on Siesta Key, Sarasota, Florida. The roof was concave and was constructed using a built-up spray-on process that Rudolph had seen used to cocoon disused ships during his time in the US Navy (hence, the house's nickname). In addition, Rudolph used jalousie windows, which enabled the characteristic breezes to and from Sarasota Bay to flow through the house.

His first independent work, post Twitchell, was the Walker Guest House, a sparse exoskeleton structure built in the sand dunes and scrub of Sanibel Island in 1953. It was Rudolph's most clearly articulated and rigorously geometric residential project in Florida. Rudolph considered the guesthouse to be one of his favorite projects, exhibiting pure architectural ideals suited to its environment.

Other Sarasota landmarks by Rudolph include the Riverview High School, built in 1957 as his first large-scale project. In 2006, there was a great deal of controversy in Sarasota when many members of the community appealed for the retention of the historic building after the decision reached by the county school board to demolish the structure. As Charles Gwathmey, the architect overseeing renovation of Art and Architecture Building at Yale, said: "Riverview High School is a fantastic prototype of what today we call green architecture. He was so far ahead of his time, experimenting with sun screens and cross-ventilation. If it's torn down, I feel badly for architecture." However, in June 2009, Riverview High School was demolished.

Another school building design in Sarasota was Rudolph's 1960 addition to Sarasota High School, a concrete structure that utilized large overhanging sunshades and "internal" yet outside corridors with natural ventilation. This building, along with a gymnasium structure built at the same time, has recently undergone a renovation by the Sarasota County School Board that reinstated the building's original exterior appearance, but contains a completely new interior layout. A portion of the original architecture has been incorporated into the adjacent Sarasota Art Museum.

Yale and Brutalism
In the late 1950s, Paul Rudolph's Florida houses began to attract attention outside of the architectural community and he started receiving commissions for larger works such as the Jewett Arts Center (1955) at Wellesley College and the Blue Cross Building (1956) in Boston. He then took the chairmanship of the Yale Department of Architecture in 1958, shortly after designing the Yale Art & Architecture Building. Rudolph stayed at Yale for six years until he returned to private practice. He designed the Temple Street Parking Garage, also in New Haven, in 1961.

While chair of the Department of Architecture at Yale, Rudolph taught Muzharul Islam, Norman Foster, and Richard Rogers, all attending the Master's course as scholarship students. Foster in particular has noted the significant influence that Rudolph had upon him. Rudolph was invited to Bangladesh by Muzharul Islam and designed Bangladesh Agricultural University.

He worked on the Milam Residence, which was designed and constructed between 1959 and 1961.

It still stands today on Florida's eastern coast, outside Jacksonville in the suburb of Ponte Vedra Beach. For the Milam Home, the only dimensional control was the size of standard concrete blocks that were used (8 x 8 x 16 in), fair-faced, for structural and partition walls alike. The large blocks provide shade for the windows, allowing the Florida home to be easily cooled. This house's seaside facade of stacked rectangles exemplifies the sculptural nature of Rudolph's work during this period. From inside the structure, Rudolf wanted the inhabitants to locate themselves according to mood, so the large two-story window in the living room contrasts other areas of the home which feel more cave-like and secluded. Rudolph's fascination with European Modernism and the neo-Classical theory made this a difficult building to construct. Rudolph had to show concern for multiple influences as well as his own style. At the time, Rudolph was working independently and would later become an icon in European Modernism. Architectural Record named it House of the Year in 1963, and it's considered a pivotal work in Rudolph's career.

In 1958, Rudolph was commissioned to create a master plan for Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. He later collaborated with graduates of Tuskegee's architecture school on the design of a new chapel building, completed in 1969.

He also designed the Endo Pharmaceuticals Building in Garden City, New York (1964), the Dana Arts Center (1969) at Colgate University, the Boston Government Service Center (1971), First Church in Boston (1972), and the Burroughs Wellcome headquarters (1972, demolished 2021) in North Carolina.

The main campus of University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (originally known as Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute, and later as the Southeastern Massachusetts University) was a continuing focus of his work. His association started in 1963, and continued in various capacities through the 1980s. He personally designed several buildings, but his overall architectural vision guided the development of the entire campus for decades.

His Shoreline apartments in Buffalo, completed in 1974, were pioneering low income housing, designed as part of a larger masterplan for the city's waterfront that was never completed.

Later years
Rudolph left Yale in 1965, and his career had declined gradually during the 1970s. While the Brutalist style fell out of favor in the US during the 1970s, Rudolph's work evolved, and he became more successful with international projects.

In a departure from his monolithic concrete works, Rudolph designed reflective glass office towers such as the City Center Towers in Fort Worth, Texas. Rudolph continued working on projects in Singapore, where he designed The Concourse office tower with its ribbon windows and interweaving floors, as well as projects in other Asian countries through the last years of his life. The Lippo Centre, completed in 1987, is located near Admiralty station of MTR in Hong Kong, and is a culmination of Rudolph's ideas in reflective glass. In Indonesia, Rudolph-designed buildings can be found in Jakarta (Wisma Dharmala Sakti) and Surabaya (Wisma Dharmala Sakti 2).

His personal residence at 23 Beekman Place in the midtown east neighborhood of Manhattan became internationally famous. Over the years, he built an idiosyncratic exterior addition, and modified the interior with multiple levels and his own flair for decoration and display of art.

Death and legacy
Rudolph's last years were shadowed by cancer, which ravaged his body. He died on August 8, 1997, at the age of seventy-eight in New York City from peritoneal mesothelioma, a disease primarily associated with asbestos. It is believed that during his work at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during WWII, he and many other workers were exposed to high levels of asbestos contamination.

Paul Rudolph donated his personal archive, spanning his entire career, to the Library of Congress, as well as donating all intellectual property rights to the American people. His bequest also helped to establish the Center for Architecture, Design, and Engineering at the Library of Congress.

The Paul Rudolph Penthouse & Apartments (1977–82), at 23 Beekman Place in Manhattan, was designated a New York City Landmark in 2010.

The John and Alice Fullam House is an obscure commission designed in 1957, and built in 1959. It was never published in the Rudolph portfolio at the request of the owners, John and Alice Fullam. In 2004, when they were contemplating moving, the owners became concerned over preservation of the house, reading that many Rudolph buildings were being destroyed. In 2007, the residence was sold to preservationist owners who did a major restoration addressing many of the modern code issues. In 2017 the third bay of the structure, part of the original 1957 design, was completed.

Mickey (Toni Basil song)

"Mickey" (originally titled as "Kitty") is a song recorded by American singer Toni Basil for her debut studio album, Word of Mouth (1981). It was first recorded by the pop group Racey. Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn wrote the song, while production was helmed by Greg Mathieson and Trevor Veitch. Basil's version is new wave, featuring guitar, synthesizers and cheerleading chants. It garnered a mixed response from music critics, with some critics praising the radio-friendly nature of the song, while others described some of the lyrics as obscene.

Background
The song was originally performed by British pop group Racey, with the title "Kitty", and was included on their debut studio album Smash and Grab in 1979. The original Racey song did not include the "Oh Mickey, you're so fine" chant, which Basil added.

For years, it was rumored that the name was changed to Mickey because Basil developed a crush on the Monkees' drummer and lead vocalist Micky Dolenz, after meeting him on the set of their movie, Head, for which she was the choreographer. However, that claim has been denied by Basil, who has said that she "didn't really know Micky at all". In January 2020, Basil released a re-recording of the song as "Hey Mickey" to digital and streaming platforms.

Legal claims
On August 31, 2017, Basil filed a multi-claim lawsuit against Razor & Tie Direct, Forever 21, Disney, Viacom, VH1, and South Park. Basil alleged that the defendants had commercially used the song "Mickey" without a license and damaged her right of publicity, claiming excess of $25,000 in damages. Basil also filed a lawsuit against AMC on May 12, 2020, for the unauthorized use of "Mickey" in a trailer for Preacher. On August 27, 2020, a California state of appeals court affirmed dismissal of Basil's case.

Composition
According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Music, the song is written in the key of E major and is set in time signature of common time with a tempo of 145 beats per minute. Basil's vocal range spans two octaves, from B3 to C♯5.

Critical reception
Rock critic Robert Christgau commented on the perceived 'obscene' content of the lyric "So come on and give it to me / Any way you can / Any way you want to do it / I'll take it like a man". Christgau wrote in a review at the time that Basil "was the only woman ever to offer to take it up the ass on Top 40 radio." However, Basil adamantly denies this: "NO! That's ridiculous. People read shit into everything. It's not about anything dirty. You change the name from boy to girl" — i.e., from "Mickey" to "Kitty" — "and they read anything they want into it! When it's a guy singing about a girl, it's a sweet line. But when a girl sings it, it must mean butt-fucking! This is how the wrong foot gets cut off when the doc wheels you into the E.R. Then it's Micky Dolenz and butt-fucking."

The single scored number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for one week and number two in the UK Singles Chart. The song was Basil's only Top 40 success. It was named Number 6 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80's.

Music video
The music video was directed, produced and choreographed by Basil herself. The cheerleaders featured in the video were members of a championship squad from Carson High School in Carson, California. The cheerleading uniform Basil wore in the music video was the one she actually wore in high school. According to Basil, "They didn't put anything in the budget, I did everything myself. And this is the actual cheer sweater from Las Vegas High."

Language versions
Carola Häggkvist released a Swedish version of the song in 1983, which achieved success in Scandinavia. The Swedish version had lyrics written by Ingela "Pling" Forsman for the 1983 album Främling.

Japanese comedian-musician Gorie scored no. 1 on the Japanese singles chart for two weeks with a Japanese-language version featuring vocals by American-born Jasmine Ann Allen.

Samplings
The entire structure of the Run–D.M.C. song "It's Tricky" was consciously lifted from "Mickey". According to DMC: "I just changed the chorus around and we just talked about how this rap business can be tricky to a brother."

The song "Hey, Mickey!" by American rapper Baby Tate interpolates the chorus from "Mickey". On February 20, 2024, an official dance video was released. The video featured Tate and a group of backup dancers dressed as cheerleaders, similar to the original video for "Mickey".

How can the coin images be actual size?

"Actual size" can't be claimed unless the image displays the same size on all displays....

Or am I missing something here?

Article needs to be updated
There are no images of the reverse side of the American Platinum Eagle for the years 2006 or 2007. Furthermore, there are no mintage figures for the years 2005, 2006, or 2007.

It would be good to have an exact reference to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions finding that the platinum eagle can be held in an Individual Retirement Account.

"Income" citation

I assume this statement is meant to refer to the Robert Kahre payroll cases, which involved payment in gold and silver (not, so far as I can tell, platinum) coins with income reported at face (rather than market) value?

UNIVAC III

The UNIVAC III, designed as an improved transistorized replacement for the vacuum tube UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II computers. The project was started by the Philadelphia division of Remington Rand UNIVAC in 1958 with the initial announcement of the system been made in the Spring of 1960, however as this division was heavily focused on the UNIVAC LARC project the shipment of the system was delayed until June 1962, with Westinghouse agreeing to furnish system programing and marketing on June 1, 1962. It was designed to be compatible for all data formats. However the word size and instruction set were completely different; this presented significant difficulty as all programs had to be rewritten, so many customers switched to different vendors instead of upgrading existing UNIVACs.

The UNIVAC III weighed about 27225 lb.

The system was engineered to use as little core memory as possible, as it was a very expensive item. The memory system was 25 bits wide and could be configured with from 8,192 words to 32,768 words of memory. Memory was built in stacks of 29 planes of 4,096 cores: 25 for the data word, two for "modulo-3 check" bits, and two for spares. Each memory cabinet held up to four stacks (16,384 words).

It supported the following data formats:
 * 25-bit signed binary numbers
 * excess-3 binary-coded decimal with four bits per digit, allowing six-digit signed decimal numbers
 * alphanumerics with six bits per character, allowing four-character signed alphanumeric values

Instructions were 25 bits long.

The CPU had four accumulators, a four-bit field (ar) allowed selection of any combination of the accumulators for operations on data from one to four words in length. For backward compatibility with the UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II data, two accumulators were needed to store a 12-digit decimal number and three accumulators were needed to store a 12-character alphanumeric value. When accumulators were combined in an instruction, the sign bit of the Most Significant Accumulator was used and the others ignored.

The CPU had 15 index registers, a four-bit field (x) allowed selection of one index register as the base register. Operand addresses were determined by adding the contents of the selected base register and the 10-bit displacement field (m). Instructions that modified or stored index registers used a four-bit field (xo) to select that index register.

Indirect addressing or field selection was selected if the one-bit field (i/a) was set. Both indirect addressing and a base register could be selected in the indirect address in memory. Only a base register could be selected in the field selector in memory.

Sperry Rand began shipment in June 1962 and produced 96 UNIVAC III systems.

The operating systems(s) which were developed for the UNIVAC III's were called CHIEF, and BOSS.The assembly language was SALT. The majority of UNIVAC III systems were equipped with tape drives; tapes contained images of the system data at the head of any tape, followed by data. The OS could handle jobs at this time, so some tapes had data relating to job control, and others had data. UNIVAC III systems could have up to 32 tape drives.

Some systems were equipped at a later time with a random-access FASTRAND drum.

Who Let the Dogs Out

"Who Let the Dogs Out" is a song performed by Bahamian junkanoo band Baha Men. Originally released by Anslem Douglas (titled "Doggie") in 1998, it was covered by producer Jonathan King who sang it under the name Fat Jakk and his Pack of Pets. He brought the song to the attention of his friend Steve Greenberg, who then had the Baha Men cover the song. The song, released on 26 July 2000, became the band's first and only hit in the United Kingdom and the United States, and it gained popularity after appearing in Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and its soundtrack album.

"Who Let the Dogs Out" peaked at No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as topping the charts in Australia and New Zealand, and reached the Top 40 in the United States. In Britain, it was championed by DJ John Peel and went on to be the fourth biggest-selling single of 2000, and one of the highest-selling singles of the decade not to reach No. 1. The track went on to win the Grammy for Best Dance Recording at the 2001 Grammy Awards.

According to Douglas, the original song was a feminist anthem critical of men who catcall women. "Who Let the Dogs Out" became a prominent feature of Bahamian popular culture and was the subject of a major lawsuit over copyright ownership that was settled. In 2019, an eponymous-titled documentary about the creation of the song was the surprise hit of the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.

Background
The song is written in the key of C major. Baha Men member Dyson Knight explained to Vice how the band came to record the song:

"'The manager of the Baha Men at that time heard a version of the song from Europe. He called [Knight's bandmate] Isaiah [Taylor] and told him it was an absolute must that Baha Men record that song, because they had the vibe to make it a huge hit. Isaiah heard the song and said there was 'no way in hell we're recording that song'. ... Management had the vision, and the Baha Men were reluctant, but the group went in and recorded it anyway.'"

"Who Let The Dogs Out" is a cover of the 1998 song "Doggie" (or "Dogie") by Trinidadian calypso/soca/Junkanoo artist Anslem Douglas. Douglas himself has said that the song has nothing to do with dogs and actually has a feminist theme critical of men who catcall women. In an interview that was published on his website, he said:

"'It's a man-bashing song. I'll tell you why. The lyric of the song says, 'The party was nice, the party was pumpin'.' When I said the word 'party' I was being metaphorical. It really means things were going great. The 'Yippie-Yi-Yo,' that's everybody's happy, right? 'And everybody was having a ball.' Life was going great. 'Until the men start the name-callin' / And then the girls respond to the call.' So the men started calling the women 'skank' and 'skettel,' every dirty word you can think of. The men started the name-calling and then the girls respond to the call. And then a woman shouts out, 'Who let the dogs out?' And we start calling men dogs. It was really a man-bashing song.'"

However, Douglas has said "I never told anyone, 'Hey, I came up with the phrase.' Never did, 'cause I didn't." In late 1995 or early 1996 Patrick Stephenson and Leroy Williams, two producers who worked for Wreck Shop Radio out of Toronto, wrote a radio promo for WBLK in Buffalo, NY containing the "Who Let The Dogs Out" chorus. Douglas's brother-in-law was the host of the Toronto show and encouraged Douglas to record the song. Stephenson and Williams allowed Douglas to record the song and have said they didn't "take care of the business" of legally protecting the song. They did not know it was licensed to the Baha Men until they heard it on the radio in 2000.

Complicating matters further, 20 Fingers and Gillette released "You're a Dog" in 1995 with a very similar chorus where they sing, "Who let the dogs loose?" Stephenson and Williams claim to have never heard the song, and 20 Fingers has made no legal claim to "Who Let the Dogs Out?". Even earlier, Brett Hammock and Joe Gonzalez also recorded a song called "Who Let the Dogs Out?” in 1992 as rap duo Miami Boom Productions out of Jacksonville, Florida. It was not widely released, and they were also surprised to hear "Who Let The Dogs Out?" on the radio in 2000. Miami Boom states their version was inspired by "Da Mad Scientist" by Bass Patrol, in which there is a sample of 1987's "Pump Up The Party" by songwriter and producer Stevie B (released under the pseudonym Hassan) that includes the lyrics, "Who's rocking this dog's house?"

John Michael Davis from Dowagiac, Michigan contacted 99% Invisible contributor Ben Sisto. He said his hometown is sometimes referred to as "the dog patch", and the crowd at the Dowagiac Chieftains high school football games frequently chanted "Oooh, let the dogs out!” during their state championship run in 1990. During this time Joe Gonzalez of Miami Boom lived in Michigan, but he states he has no memory of hearing this chant. Sisto states that variations of the "Who let the dogs out?” chant are evident in regional high school sports, discovering a chant almost exactly like the chorus of the Baha Men song as far back as 1986 at Austin Reagan High School. Sisto surmised:

"'I don't think anybody in this story is lying... You can hear something and it's just in there subconsciously until it's just ready to come out. One of the big myths we tell ourselves about art is that it's made by individuals and that myth is sort of what the art market is propped up on... It's just about the very nature of art and life and I think that all these ideas apply to every piece of creative work ever made.'"

Critical reception
Daily Record commented, "If your kids have been out barking on the streets late at night, this Bahamian band are to blame with this silly Notting Hill Carnival anthem." In a 2007 poll conducted by Rolling Stone to identify the 20 most annoying songs, "Who Let the Dogs Out" ranked third. It was also ranked first on Spinner's 2008 list of "Top 20 Worst Songs Ever". Rolling Stone also ranked it at number 8 on a "worst songs of the 1990s" poll, despite the fact that the Baha Men single was released in 2000.

Use in sporting events
The first use of the song at an American sporting event was at Mississippi State University. The university's mascot is the Bulldog, and the university school first played the song during football games in the fall of 1998 using the version sung by Chuck Smooth. It was accompanied by the crowd singing along and the team performing a dance on the field called "The Dawg Pound Rock" just before a kickoff. Later the Southeastern Conference ruled that they could not perform the dance on the field, so the team moved it to the sidelines. Several other teams followed suit, and the song quickly became a national phenomenon.

In June 2000, Gregg Greene, then Director of Promotions for the Seattle Mariners, was the first to play the Baha Men's version of "Who Let the Dogs Out" at a Major League Baseball game. He debuted the tune as a joke for the team's backup catcher, Joe Oliver. Two days later, shortstop Alex Rodriguez requested the song be used as his walk-up music, and it quickly became the Mariners team anthem. The Baha Men performed the song at Safeco Field during a Mariners game in September 2000. The New York Mets, however, have claimed that they were the first MLB team to adopt the song, to which ESPN humorously commented "This is a little like scientists arguing over who discovered a deadly virus". The Baha Men recorded a version of the song that changed the chorus to "Who let the Mets out?" and all the lyrics to reflect the team and its players, which was played at Shea Stadium throughout the Mets' 2000 postseason run, including a live performance on the Shea Stadium field before Game 4 of the 2000 World Series against the New York Yankees. The song was written by David Brody of Z100 New York and recorded by the Baha Men initially for Z100. Brody then gave the song to the Mets to play at Shea.

In the United Kingdom, the song was quickly appropriated by Liverpool supporters under then-manager Gérard Houllier. Regular chants of 'Hou led the reds out' by Liverpool fans (a reference to Liverpool's cup treble in 2001) were followed soon after by opposition fans' chants of 'Hou had a heart attack' (a reference to Houllier's illness in October 2001).

Bärbel Wöckel

Bärbel Wöckel ( Eckert; born 21 March 1955) is a former East German sprinter. She never ran a world record in the individual disciplines. However, she ran several world records as part of relay teams with Doris Maletzki, Renate Stecher and Christina Heinich over 4 x 100 meters, the last time on September 8, 1974, in Rome. At the GDR Championships she took first place in the 4 x 100-meter relay in 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981 to 1984. In 1976 she won third place with the team.

Documents uncovered after the fall of communism showed that during this time Wöckel, like many of her East German colleagues, participated in the state-organized doping program. Despite this, her records and medals have been allowed to stand.

Biography
Wöckel won four Olympic gold medals between the 200 metres race and 4 × 100 metres relay, two each in the 1976 and 1980 Olympics. In each of those years, Wöckel placed first in the 200 m and 4 × 100 metres relay races.

She won a gold medal at the 1974 European Championships as the anchor of the 4 × 100 m relay, which set a world record of 42.50. She won the gold in the 200 m and as a part of the 4 × 100 m relay team as well as a silver in the 100 metres at the 1982 European Championships.

Bärbel Wöckel competed for the club SC Motor Jena during her active career. She won 4 national 200 metre championships, as well as an indoor title in 1984.

She won 3 European Cup titles in 1981, 200, 4x100, 4x400 metres.

In the IAAF World Cup 1981 she won 2 Gold Medals in 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Also finishing 3rd in the 200.

Her rival, Marita Koch, complained in a letter that Bärbel received higher doses of steroids than her, because she had relatives in the company Jenapharm.

To Do

 * The list of rectors is incomplete. There doesn't seem to be any online resource for completing it.  Presumably the school library has (or should acquire) copies of the school's historical publications.  Many of the dates given are guesses.
 * The section of notable alumni is also inadequate. Again, there doesn't seem to be anything online.  I understand that the Academical Club doesn't want to get into labelling members as notable and non-notable.  Surely there are some alumni that already have Wikipedia articles?  (Note that some of the current red-links do actually have other links to them, which substantiates their claim to notability.)
 * No picture of the school. We should have one of the main frontage, perhaps with the south-corner medallion in view.  Also one of Balgray, perhaps showing the signboard in the south corner with the stands and rubgy posts visble behind.  Also pictures of the school uniform.

Is there anyone at the school who could do some research or photography? Bovlb 23:40, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)

Battle of Longwoods

The Battle of Longwoods took place during the Anglo-American War of 1812. On 4 March 1814, a mounted American raiding party defeated an attempt by British regulars, volunteers from the Canadian militia and Native Americans to intercept them near Wardsville, in present-day Southwest Middlesex, Ontario.

Background
In October, 1813, in the aftermath of the American naval victory of the Battle of Lake Erie, an American army under Major General William Henry Harrison recovered Detroit (which the British had captured early in the war), captured the abandoned British post at Fort Malden at Amherstburg, and defeated a retreating British and Native American force at the Battle of Moraviantown, killing the Indigenous leader and British ally Tecumseh in the process. The British feared that the Americans might follow up their victory and strike at their position at Burlington at the western end of Lake Ontario, but the period of enlistment of most of the militia troops in Harrison's army was about to expire, and the Americans withdrew.

During the subsequent months, there was a "no man's land" stretching almost 200 mi between Amherstburg and Burlington, where Canadian militia skirmished with occasional American raiding or scouting parties. Late in December, 1813, the British established an outpost at Delaware, roughly halfway between these two positions, and another at Port Talbot on the shore of Lake Erie. On 23 December, the garrison of the post at Delaware surprised and captured a small American outpost near Chatham.

The American commander at Amherstburg was Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Butler of the 28th U.S. Infantry. He sent an expedition under Captain Andrew Holmes to capture one of these two British posts, as circumstances allowed. The expedition consisted of mounted detachments from the 24th, 26th, 27th and 28th U.S. Regiments of Infantry and two six-pounder cannon, and was later joined by some rangers and militia dragoons from Michigan. The raiders, including the regulars, were dressed in buckskins against the cold and were armed with rifles and tomahawks.

American raid
Holmes left Amherstburg on 21 February, moving along the shore of Lake Erie. The ground was soft, and he was forced to abandon his two guns near Pointe au Pelee. After a clash with some Canadian militia who escaped, Holmes decided that the militia would warn the defenders of Port Talbot, and he determined therefore to make for Delaware instead. On 2 March, he was within 15 mi of Delaware, but cold, hunger and sickness had reduced his force from 180 to 164 men. The British had indeed been warned of his presence, and Holmes learned from a Canadian renegade that 300 men had sallied from Delaware and were within an hour's march of him. Holmes left the Michigan Rangers as a rearguard while his main body retreated five miles to the Twenty Mile Creek. The Michigan troops also fell back after a skirmish with Caldwell's Rangers, who were leading the British advance.

Holmes was urged by some of his subordinates to retreat further, but he determined to hold his position. He occupied a hill overlooking the bridge over the creek, and fortified the hill with a u-shaped abatis (defences made of felled trees and branches).

Early on 4 March, Caldwell's Rangers exchanged a few shots with the Americans and then feigned a retreat, hoping to draw the Americans out of their defences. Holmes did indeed pursue for 5 mi before the Michigan Militia Dragoons warned him that the British were preparing an ambush, and he hastily returned to his position.

Battle
The full British force followed up the Americans and arrived at Twenty Mile Creek at 5 p.m. that day. The force consisted of two companies of regulars (the light company of the 1st Battalion, the 1st Regiment of Foot (Royal Scots), numbering 101 men, and the light company of the 2nd Battalion, 89th Regiment of Foot, numbering 45 men), two full-time militia units (the Loyal Kent Volunteers and Caldwell's Western Rangers, numbering 50 men between them) and 44 Native American warriors (Wyandots and Potawatomis under Sauganash, or Billy Caldwell as he was known to the British). In all, this force numbered about 240 men. The British commander at Delaware, Captain Stewart of the Royal Scots, had not expected action and had gone to confer with Colonel Matthew Elliot of the Essex Militia, so the force was commanded by Captain James Lewis Basden of the 89th.

Although Basden had only a rough idea of the ground and American strength from the Rangers' earlier reconnaissance, he nevertheless attacked immediately. He ordered the Rangers and Volunteers to outflank the Americans to the north and the Native warriors to do the same from the south, while he himself led the regulars directly against the front of the American position. The Rangers, militia and Indians crossed the creek out of range of the American position and began skirmishing on the flanks. The regulars opened fire against the American centre, with little effect. Basden then led a charge against the American position. As the British advanced towards the bridge, bunched into a column by the narrow road, the Americans poured a withering fire into them, mowing down the leading troops.

Basden only became aware of the abatis after the British had crossed the bridge, but nevertheless led an advance up the hill. The British were unable to climb the icy slope in the face of the heavy fire and were beaten back. Basden himself was wounded in the leg, and Captain Johnston, leading the light company of the Royal Scots, was killed. The British regulars then fell back into the ravine through which the creek flowed and tried to drive the Americans from the hill with musket fire from behind trees, but the Americans firing from a height inflicted heavy casualties.

On the flanks, the Indians had not pressed their attack. The Rangers had been more successful, but were too few to risk an attack into the American position. As darkness fell at about 6.30 p.m. the entire British force, now commanded by Ensign Mills of the 2/89th, retreated.

The British had suffered 14 killed, 51 wounded, 1 wounded prisoner and 1 missing. The Americans lost 4 killed and 3 wounded.

Aftermath
Although Holmes had defeated Basden's force, he knew he was outnumbered and decided that he would be unable to capture the post at Delaware. At 9 p.m. he abandoned his position at Twenty Mile Creek and retreated to Detroit. The British also later abandoned the outpost at Delaware.

However, the two American 6-pounder guns which Holmes had abandoned near Pointe au Pelee were later discovered by another local Canadian militia unit, the Loyal Essex Volunteers. The Volunteers destroyed the carriages and concealed the guns in a black ash swamp, where they remained to the end of the war.

Holmes was promoted to Major, but was killed a few months later at the Battle of Mackinac Island. Basden recovered from his wound, and later fought at the Battle of Lundy's Lane. At the end of the year, he was temporarily in command of the remnants of the 2/89th Regiment. (He was later made Companion of the Bath after serving in the First Anglo-Burmese War, and returned to Canada to serve during the Rebellions of 1837.)

Legacy
Eight active regular battalions of the United States Army (1-3 Inf, 2-3 Inf, 4-3 Inf, 1-6 Inf, 2-6 Inf, 4-6 Inf, 2-7 Inf and 3-7 Inf) perpetuate the lineages of the old 24th, 27th and 28th Infantry Regiments, all of which had elements that participated in the battle.

The battle site was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1924.

Talk:Twisted Metal

TBA for PS3 Version
I changed the ever-changing released date for PS3 version of Twisted Metal to TBA... as 2010 would give people a false hope that there is a new installment in development.

As everyone knows the E.S.P has stated that they are not working on a new installment, there has been rumors but as of yet, they remain so.

So please leave TBA as release date, not 2010 or 2011...

Thank you, 98.164.224.193 (talk) 04:25, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

News section?
I really dont think a news section should be on wikipedia. I suggest it be removed. Alcryt (talk) 09:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

mrgrimm
I changed mrgrimm a little on the black section, it inaccurately stated that mrgrimm was always insane, but he was drove to insanity after the torture from when he was captured. --Lakecityransom 12:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

This article is a bit lavish in its praise
This article is a bit lavish in its praise. Certainly a significant game franchise, but the article needs some toning down. --CVaneg 23:41, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * There's no praise from the author, only stating whether a certain game was or wasn't a hit with critics and fans.

 * The author does not have to state a direct opinion for an article to be considered non-NPOV. The article only has to be written in such a way as to present a particular point of view (in this case it seems the point of view is that Twisted Metal is one of the best game franchises of any platform).  I've already edited the overview, which I thought was a bit much, and I don't really think that
 * In addition to this fanfare, Twisted Metal 2 is also regarded as a PlayStation classic and almost always makes the list whenever the gaming media compiles some sort of "20 Best PlayStation Games" list.
 * is a good sentence either. It would be far better to say (Magazine X, Magazine Y, and Magazine Z all ranked Twisted Metal 2 as one of their Best Playstation Games of all time).  Anyway, in general, this article feels more like a game review than an unbiased encyclopedia article. --CVaneg 00:14, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Individual Games
Is there any specific reason why the pages for all of the individual Twisted Metal games (except Twisted Metal: Head On) just redirect to this page? I would think that they are all noteworthy enough to have their own pages separate from this one. - Hihihi 01:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, Twisted Metal 1 and 2 comprise the series' canon and must be studied within the series as a whole (not to mention that TM1 was not famous enough), Twisted Metal 3 and 4 surely don't deserve separate pages, just mentions of what changed from TM2. Small Brawl too. And the current games (Black, Head-On) have separate pages. --kAtremer 08:33, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to see the Twisted Metal article be renamed to Twisted Metal (series) and have all the games, not just Black and Head-On, have their own articles. The Twisted Metal article is just so long and messy as it is now. I could go ahead and start creating the articles but right now, the individual titles all redirect back to Twisted Metal and I don't know how to change it. I also don't know how to rename the article to "Twisted Metal (series)". If anyone wants to collaborate with me, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I'd be happy to work on the articles once the formatting is changed. Tygartl1 17:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Figured out the re-naming and have created separate Twisted Metal 2 page. Tygartl1 22:36, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The Twisted Metal 1 section is getting out of hand. I'm going to change the Twisted Metal page from a redirect to the series page to its own page and trim down the info on this page. Tygartl1 15:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Character/Location Page
This article is very cluttered. I propose to move all the characters from this page onto one of their own and just create a box for them here. The same goes for the locations page as well. If no objection is made within by Friday, I will go ahead with my action.

5/29/06, I started a new Twisted Metal Characters page.

 * Wouldn't it be better to create separate pages for TM1 and 2 (as it is for Black and Head-On now) and list their characters there along with locations and music/graphics details, call this article Twisted Metal Series and give only general info here? I suppose TM characters are of little value separated from the game info. --kAtremer 08:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I belive that the age of the games makes then hard to create there own page because of lack of information. At the same time, the character page shows off how the vehicles were used differently and kept in canon or had continual story lines. Also, I plan to change to page name from Twisted Metal Characters to The Cars and Characters of Twisted Metal, becuase of how both parties have evolved as the series went on.

 * I don't understand what do you mean "lack of information" - see the games, that's all. TMAlliance documents them in detail, somebody even noticed music in TM3&4. Anyway, your effort seems to be more appropriate for a separate site, which Wikipedia could use as a reference (if you don't use Wikipedia as a reference). --kAtremer 06:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Can someone put the character page back? I'm sure that the information that was there before is better than the non-existant information that''s there now. The game's plot revolves around the motives of the characters and the wishes they want granted, those aren't even listed anywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.111.154.88 (talk) 02:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Twisted Metal: Get Him
What is Twisted Metal: Get Him? It was listed as the main article to TM: Head-On, I changed it to the real article. --kAtremer 08:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Twisted Metal 3 and 4
It says in the article that 3 and 4 became best sellers. . . can some get a citation for this because I've never heard that before (and I have a hard time believing it).
 * Both games made it to Sony's Greatest Hits line of PlayStation games, which, as far as I can remember, require sales of 500,000 copies. It wouldn't surprise me if TM3 and TM4 sold well based only on the name recognition.
 * My copy of TM3 has a green edge. Greatest Hits. Gopherbassist 04:01, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

My copy of TM4 has a green edge, too. It definitely sold well, but wasn't well received by TM1 and TM2 veterans.

Dragula
The song is listed as the "Dragula Matrix Mix" but this game came out before the Matrix and the mix is actually called the "Hot Rod Herman" Mix so I'm going to rename it.--67.181.131.193 20:13, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, that version was written specificly for The Matrix. Even if the game came out beforehand, it doesn't change the reason why it was written.

Question about TM3's Music
I owned TM3 when it came out and all (I believe I had the Greatest Hits version) and I remember a Rob Zombie song was in the first level. Now, being something of a Zombie fan myself, I'm curious as to which song, exactly, this was, and Wiki doesn't seem to list it. So if anybody can tell me which song this was, I'd be appreciative. Onslaught Six 22:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

 * It was called "Meet the Creeper" and is also featured on the Hellbilly Deluxe album.

 * There's more than just Meet the creeper on that game... Meet the Creeper plays during the Opening video... Not during the first level... I can't find the name for that one...--Biggman15 19:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

i've been trying to find the music list so i can put it on my computer right but i've only got 2, 3, 4, and 9 (where track 1 in game info and not playable) here's my list:

2) Superbeast - Rob Zombie - Hillbilly Duluxe 3) Microwaved - Pitchshifter - www.pitchshifter.com 4) W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G - Pitchshifter - www.pitchshifter.com 5) unknown 6) unknown 7) unknown 8) unknown 9) Meet the Creeper - Rob Zombie - Hillbilly Duluxe

--Ace the bunny 15:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Black is missing
The article goes straight from TM4 to TM:SB.
 * An anonymous user removed it July 17 and nobody noticed. I added it back in. Ace of Sevens 22:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Zhang Liao's Shout
Wish I could add on my two cent for the Twisted Metal Series, but you all have so I will say this. Twisted Metal should, at least, be sold as a fun pack for any fans out there who love cars and vehicles that can blow up stuff. The only thing I wish for is that Twisted Metal could've lasted a bit longer.

More to the point, why not include, if haven't, add the stories up to Twisted Metal Black. (Only if they are not there). --Zhang Liao 08:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Definitely, this article needs a little bit o' clean up and creating new sections
Since Twisted Metal is a hit with videogamers, there needs to be a separate section for each of the games. In deed, Twisted Metal 1 and Twisted Metal 2 are dramatically in both aesthetic and plot. It would be a great injustice to allow them to stay in this muddled article.

As mentioned by others, this article is very unencyclopedic. Vivid verbs and words in addition to proper grammar will be needed to make the article appear at least somewhat professional. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Groar! (talk • contribs) 05:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC).

Calypso Picture
The current picture of Calypso (the cartoon one) is from Twisted Metal 2. Can anyone get a screenshot of the actual Calypso from the original, where he had the melted face? At least I think he had a melted face. DudleyScardsdale 00:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Can I just remove a line from the trivia section?
I was one of the developers on Small Brawl and I think the trivia about Small Brawl not having any cheat codes is incorrect. I seem to remember there were cheat codes and I asked a couple of the other developers and they thought there were cheat codes as well. However, I have no way of verifying this at this point in time.

Requested move

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

The result of the move request was: Both moved. Please check that all links are correct. Ucucha 18:16, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Twisted Metal (series) → Twisted Metal — Since the launch of the first game Twisted Metal has developed into a wide series consisting of numerous games. Thus Twisted Metal is now more commonly referred to as a series rather than as simply the first game. Hence the first game should be moved to Twisted Metal (video game) and the series page should be moved to Twisted Metal. An example of how this has been done before is that Ratchet & Clank directs to the series page while the first game, Ratchet & Clank is under Ratchet & Clank (video game) KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 12:42, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Twisted Metal → Twisted Metal (video game)
