Tibialis anterior muscle

The tibialis anterior muscle is a muscle of the anterior compartment of the lower leg. It originates from the upper portion of the tibia; it inserts into the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones of the foot. It acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot. This muscle is mostly located near the shin.

It is situated on the lateral side of the tibia; it is thick and fleshy above, tendinous below. The tibialis anterior overlaps the anterior tibial vessels and deep peroneal nerve in the upper part of the leg.

Structure
The tibialis anterior muscle is the most medial muscle of the anterior compartment of the leg.

The muscle ends in a tendon which is apparent on the anteriomedial dorsal aspect of the foot close to the ankle. Its tendon is ensheathed in a synovial sheath. The tendon passes through the medial compartment superior and inferior extensor retinacula of the foot.

Origin
The tibialis anterior muscle arises from the upper 2/3 of the lateral surface of the tibia and the adjoining part of the interosseous membrane and deep fascia overlying it,  and the intermuscular septum between this muscle and the extensor digitorum longus.

Insertion
It is inserted into the medial and inferior surface of the medial cuneiform bone, and adjacent portion of the first metatarsal bone. '

Nerve supply
The tibialis anterior muscle is innervated by the deep fibular nerve, and recurrent genicular nerve (L4).

Variation
A deep portion of the muscle is rarely inserted into the talus, or a tendinous slip may pass to the head of the first metatarsal bone or the base of the first phalanx of the great toe.

The tibiofascialis anterior, a small muscle from the lower part of the tibia to the transverse or cruciate crural ligaments or deep fascia.

Actions/movements
The muscle acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot. It is the largest dorsiflexor of the foot. The muscle also contributes to deceleration.

Function
The muscle helps maintain the medial longitudinal arch of the foot.  It draws up and holds the toe in a locked position. The tibialis anterior aids in any activity that requires moving the leg or keeping the leg vertical. It functions to stabilize the ankle as the foot hits the ground during the contact phase of walking (eccentric contraction) and acts later to pull the foot clear of the ground during the swing phase (concentric contraction). It also functions to 'lock' the ankle, as in toe-kicking a ball, when held in an isometric contraction.

The movements of tibialis anterior are dorsiflexion and inversion of the ankle. However, actions of tibialis anterior are dependent on whether the foot is weight bearing or not (closed or open kinetic chain). When the foot is on the ground, the muscle helps to balance the leg and talus on the other tarsal bones so that the leg is kept vertical even when walking on uneven ground.

Clinical significance
A tibialis anterior hernia is a rare type of hernia in which fat or other material protrudes through a defect in the tibialis anterior muscle. It may be caused by trauma, such as an inadvertent kick to the lower leg from an opposing player in a football match.

Talk:Eugenio Barsanti

PLEASE STOP!

I do apologize but i uploaded the article with the wrong name of Eugenio Bersanti, while the correct is Eugenio Barsanti. I now copy the udpated text in the new one, and i please an administrator to delete this one (i don't know the template to use). Thanks.

novitiate
I explain: Barsanti studied theology and become a member of the little known congregation of Scolopi in Florence.

 * I've moved Eugenio Bersanti to Eugenio Barsanti. It's better to move pages than to cut-and-paste them; see Requested moves. Logged-in users who aren't brand new can also move pages themselves with the move link at the top of the page. By the way, great article - thanks for contributing it!

 * Thank you very much for the tip and for the compliments ;-). I write in the italian wikipedia with the alias of it:User:guam. This is my first article on the en.wikipedia, eventually i can create an account here. bye Guam.

religious order
According to the official site [] the english term for the religious order is the congragation of Piarist Fathers. In italian the term Scalopi is used in the site. I don't know that order. Bye Guam --213.203.160.86 16:18, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm no engineer..
Hey Guam, I think "counter-working two-piston engine" should be "reciprocating two stroke engine" but it probably needs someone who knows a bit more to have a look. Good article though. Welcome to the English wiki. SeanMack 16:28, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi SeanMack. With counter-working i would mean that when a piston is pushed by the explosion, the other is rewinded and prepared for the next explosion (the two pistons are mounted on the same shaft, without any leverism). The official site call this motor counter piston engine. PS i'm not engineer too, i'm electronic and informatic technician, but i love science and technic in general. Bye Guam --213.203.160.86 16:40, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) (I think i need an account ;-) )
 * They are both maybe the same thing - different wording perhaps....  By the way you may like this section of the bbc site, I have it bookmarked... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/default.stm. Good working with you. SeanMack 16:47, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, now here in Italy the clock shows 7:00PM (really 19:00) and i close my business and go for the weekend to the mountains near Modena. Next week i would like to translate the article on Felice Matteucci. Bye to all and thanks for the welcome. Guam --213.203.160.86 16:55, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Syaoran Li

Syaoran Li, sometimes spelled as Shaoran Li or originally as Xiaolang Li (李小狼 Lǐ Xiǎoláng; リ・シャオラン Ri Shaoran, or Ri Syaoran (Kunrei); Cantonese Jyutping: lei5 siu2 long4), is one of the central characters in the Clamp manga Cardcaptor Sakura and its sequel Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card. In the English anime adaptation by Nelvana of the series, Cardcaptors, he was renamed Li Showron and in the American broadcast was rewritten to be the joint main protagonist alongside Sakura Kinomoto, despite Sakura's solo lead role in all other regional conversions. Syaoran is a young Chinese sorcerer from Hong Kong, descending from Clow Reed and appearing in Tokyo during his introduction in order to capture the missing cards released by Sakura. Although Syaoran is initially apprehensive towards the protagonist due to their shared goal, he, in time, finds himself falling in love with her as the series progresses. Syaoran's relationship with Sakura is further explored in the 2000 Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card film and the sequel.

Syaoran was created by Clamp as a common archetype of silent but caring male character often depicted in their works. However, Syaoran's traits and relationship with Sakura was noted to be positive within the demography of the manga's magazine.

Reception to the character was originally quite mixed with criticisms primarily directed at his initial role and alterations during the localization process. The further development of the character, however, was noted to make him more mature and appealing. The character's design was used for the two main characters of Clamp's manga Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle who share the same name: the dimension traveller Syaoran and the young sorcerer Syaoran who replaces him in the second half.

Creation and conception
According to the Clamp no Kiseki interviews, Syaoran was created before Cardcaptor Sakura debuted, with him being the third character created, behind Sakura and Tomoyo Daidouji. While the character comes from Hong Kong, he was originally going to be Japanese. Syaoran and Toya were conceived to be a common type of character featured in Clamp's works of acting cold but are instead charming. Ohkawa was careful when writing Syaoran's characterization in the early chapters due to how he felt attracted towards Yukito but did not have the same type of love Sakura had towards him. In regards to how Syaoran and Sakura ended together, Ohkawa was glad the readers' response were together and claimed it was not because of their age or gender. In general, Clamp found that Syaoran ended up as an attractive character that could be their younger brother due to his independency mostly as pointed out by Mokona and Nekoi.

When Sakura believes she will never find the person she loves, Syaoran comforts her by denying such possibility and gives her his handkerchief to stop her tears. Syaoran's popularity within the demography suddenly increased due to his kindness aimed towards the main character. Ohkawa compared Syaoran to that of a strong prince in order to describe his charm to the point male readers also related with him due to their mutual feelings towards Sakura.

For all Japanese-language productions of the anime (including films, audio CDs, and video games), Syaoran is voiced by Motoko Kumai. Kumai said that even though Syaoran grows up for the sequel Clear Card, she still wanted to properly portray him despite their different genders and thus would change the tone she uses when voicing him.

In the Nelvana Cardcaptors version of the series, Sayoran was voiced by Rhys Huber for the "Clow Card" arc of the story and the first film; by Jordan Kilik for the "Sakura Card" arc; and Mona Marshall for the second film, The Sealed Card. In a later dub by Animax, Syaoran was voiced by Candice Moore. In Clear Card, he is voiced by Jason Liebrecht, having previously voiced two different versions of the same character in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.

Characterization and themes
Syaoran is introduced as a distant child who is rude towards Sakura for both having the same goal. Both also develop feelings towards Yukito but Syaoran's attraction is said to be a cause of his magic being affected by Yukito's alterego, Yue. Similarly, Syaoran realizes his math teacher Kaho Mizuki has magic and thus tells Sakura to be distant towards her. As time passes in the narrative, Syaoran becomes interested in Sakura taking a more caring personality in the process as well as mentor whenever she is concerned. Syaoran is charmed by her, causing to constantly blush whenever she talks to him. A big revelation of his affection towards her happens when Syaoran uses her name for the first time as he has a tendency to avoid using people's names. Syaoran constantly wonders whether his feelings towards Sakura and Yukito are true as which changes when Yue notes that his attraction with other types of magic caused his crush on Yukito which serves as an early coming-of-age. Writer Kiyoshi Saiga says that the emphasis of Syaoran's and Sakura's feelings were made due to the young demography of the manga. Once Syaoran confesses his love towards Sakura, the series places emphasis on the fact that Sakura is interested in him.

In Cardcaptor Sakura
Syaoran first appears in Chapter 6 of the manga (Volume 2 of the standard tankobon collections). He is a transfer student to Sakura Kinomoto's class, arriving from Hong Kong. He, like Sakura, is capable of using magic and tries to force Sakura to hand over the Clow Cards to him, but fails. Over time, Syaoran comes to accept Sakura as the collector of the cards, and as the story progresses the two fall in love. Syaoran is also at first drawn to Yukito Tsukishiro, but this was because he was drawn to Yukito's own magic power. The series ends with Syaoran returning to Hong Kong, but before he departs he and Sakura are able to express their love for each other. Sakura and Syaoran are reunited two years later, with Syaoran staying in Japan.

In the anime version of the series, Syaoran (called "Brat" by Kero, who also refers to Meiling as such) also has a cousin, Meiling Li. Meiling says she is engaged to be married to Syaoran, but as the series progresses she comes to realise that he will be with Sakura. When the series was first dubbed in English as Cardcaptors, Syaoran was renamed Li Showron, and the show re-written to make him the joint lead with Sakura, partly up to attract a male audience who it was perceived would not want to watch an anime with a female lead.

In Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card
Clear Card begins with Syaoran having returned from Hong Kong and staying in Japan. When Sakura loses her cards, Syaoran again helps her to recover them.

Appearances in other media
Two alternative versions of Syaoran, commonly referred to as the clone Syaoran and the original Syaoran, appear in Clamp's later work Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, a series which features multiple versions of past Clamp characters in different worlds. Although Syaoran Li does not appear in the manga, he is mentioned by the clone Syaoran who states that a mage who shares his same identity provides him vase to seal the two clones for determined time to face their creator, the wizard Fei-Wang Reed.

Reception
Syaoran has been a popular character. In the 1999 Animage Grand Prix, the character took the third place in the category of best male character, and second in 2000. In the June 2018 issue of Newtype magazine, Syaoran was No. 1 in the monthly poll of "Top 10 Male Characters", with Sakura being No. 1 in the "Top 10 Female Characters" poll at the same time.

When first introduced, Anime News Network described Syaoran as a "jerk" for how he competes against Sakura to get the Clow Cards but found it more surprising how he additionally becomes her rival also in terms of affection as both characters are attracted by the same teenager, Yukito. When Syaoran becomes attracted to Sakura, the writer instead noted that Syaoran acted less than a bully towards to her and instead awkward to the point he blushes often. Similarly, the writers from The Japanification of Children's Popular Culture: From Godzilla to Miyazaki said that Syaoran becomes a weak awkward friend to Sakura as he is unable to confess her feelings towards her to the point being a comic relief. In an episode involving a play, Syaoran crossdresses, something the Western audience would not understand by that time of writing the book. DVDTalk said that Syaoran's characterization changes across the narrative due to how he is initially presented as a rival but later is more supporting to the protagonist. In regards to the Western edited version of the series, THEM Anime Reviews panned the edited version of Syaoran as he comes across as "a bully and unkind idiot unlike the kind and caring one from the original." Adam Arnold of Animefringe, praised Rhys Huber's work as Syaoran, stating he was one of the few "only voices that really shine above the rest."

For the second film, Animefringe regarded as the "melotic drama" relationship between Syaoran and Sakura as the main focus of the narrative as the fantasy elements from the main work were less prominent. Mania Entertainment enjoyed how Syaoran and Sakura's relationship is developed in the film as their friends support them to confess their feelings.

In regards to his role Clear Card, THEM Anime Reviews described him as "blunt but deep down very nice" and laments to how the series downplays the development of his relationship with Sakura despite both having become closer. The Fandom Post enjoyed how comical became relationship between the Syaoran and Sakura as, despite now being an official couple and going on dates, still get disapproval by Sakura's brother in the same mannerism as in the first series where Toya kept staring down at Syaoran. Anime News Network also commented on their date as it gives the two characters a sense of maturity despite Syaoran hiding information from his girlfriend, something that the series does not properly explore. A review for Anime UK News of Clear Card praised the depiction of Syaoran as being detached from Sakura's main group of friends, but criticized Jason Liebrecht's performance, saying Syaoran, "sounds like a right wimp and his tone of voice lacks the stoic confidence that his Japanese counterpart has." Motoko Kumai's performance as Syaoran attracted the audience due to how she fits her role regardless of how time passed between the two Cardcaptor Sakura series and how Syaoran developed.

Editor Kiichiro Sugawara commented that when Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle started, most of his colleagues kept mentioning the series was interesting for having an alternate version of Sakura Kinomoto as he found that the original Syaoran was not popular within Cardcaptor Sakura. Because Syaoran Li was written as "charming" often seen in series aimed towards a female demography, shōjo manga, the older Syaoran from Tsubasa was changed to be been as a more heroic protagonist in order to appeal to the male demography, the ones who read shōnen manga instead. In a review of Tsubasa, another character bearing the same name and appearance as Syaoran appears wielding a jian identical to Syaoran. As a result, The Fandom Post found the character's fight scenes as a form of fanservice aimed towards fans of the first Syaoran.

Up! (1976 film)

Up! is a 1976 softcore sex comedy film directed by Russ Meyer and starring Raven De La Croix, Robert McLane, Kitten Natividad, and Monty Bane.

Plot
The Greek Chorus, who appears nude except for long black boots, opens the film and appears between scenes throughout the film to provide narration, plot details, and updates.

A man named Adolf Schwartz, Adolf Hitler in hiding, is living in a Bavarian-style castle in northern California. After an orgy in the dungeon with three women (The Headsperson, The Ethiopian Chef, Limehouse) and a man (Paul), he is murdered when someone places a ravenous piranha fish in his bathtub.

Some time later, Margo Winchester hitchhikes to the nearby town of Miranda and is spotted by local Sheriff Homer Johnson. Homer tries to make advances, but Margo rejects him flirtatiously. After that, she is picked up by Leonard Box, a known troublemaker and son of a sawmill owner. An argument breaks out between the two, and Leonard subdues and rapes an unconscious Margo, who regains consciousness and kills him in retaliation. Homer witnesses this, but covers up the incident because Leonard's loaded father could put Margo in jail forever, and so Homer uses the incident to his leverage. Margo sleeps with him, starting a relationship that would turn out to be mutually unfaithful.

Homer helps Margo get a job at the local diner, Alice's. It is owned by Alice who is married to Paul, who was sexually servicing Schwartz. Alice also likes women, depicted earlier in the movie. Paul is similarly unfaithful: he was interested in Limehouse, and after Margo finishes work and goes for a swim at the Salmon Creek, he comes after her. While Margo undresses besides the stream, Paul does the same before approaching her, and they have sex. Homer, who had stopped a woman earlier for a traffic violation and let her go after a blowjob, is in bed with a Native American woman named Pocohontas and shoves her out of the house when he hears Margo's van approaching, after she and Paul finished their date. Still nude, she enters the house, seemingly ready for a second round with Homer, who's under the shower to clean himself up. He scalds himself with hot water by accident. Margo comments on his red penis that he must have made it with an Indian!

Margo later performs a strip show at a bar, which triggers the reaction of lumberjack Rafe, who rapes her. The other guests join in, and they flee when Homer arrives on the scene. Rafe and Homer fight, and both men end up killing each other.

Margo stops by a phone booth, revealing that she is an undercover cop sent to investigate the crime. She takes a shower, during which she is suddenly attacked by figure in black. After running into the forest, it is revealed that her attacker is Alice. Alice reveals that she is Adolf's murderer and also his daughter. She murdered Adolf out of jealousy that he was sleeping with Paul, and plans to do the same to Margo. After fighting in the creek, Alice and Margo reconcile, and Alice leads Margo to a bed frame in the middle of the forest. Suddenly, Paul appears and shoots Alice out of revenge for Adolf, whom he loved. Margo disarms Paul and apprehends the two.

Production
In the early 1970s, Russ Meyer made two flops in a row, The Seven Minutes and Black Snake, before returning to his older style with Supervixens. He said, ""I'm back to big bosoms, square jaws, lotsa action and the most sensational sex you ever saw. I'm back to what I do best - erotic, comedic sex, sex, sex - and I'll never stray again."

Supervixens was a hit, and Meyer said afterwards, "I plan to stick to what I know works and make one X picture after the next and be even more outrageous with sex and keep pushing the boundaries further and further."

"Sure, it appeals to prurient interest," said Meyer. "Why not appeal to prurient interest?"

The film starred Kitten Natividad, who Meyer would become romantically involved with. Natividad later said she "loved" making the film. She was comfortable with the nudity, "but what was uncomfortable was when he would direct me and I had all these big, big lines and he would say, "don't blink" and I was facing the sun and my eyes would get dry... It was uncomfortable making it because I sat on trees that had ants crawling up my ass."

The movie took place and was filmed in and about a small cabin on Salmon Creek near Miranda in Northern California at the summer cabin of Wilfred Bud Kues, listed as part of the movies' production team and a life-long friend of Russ Meyer, having met at the Alameda Naval Air Station during World War II, and mentioned in Russ' tremendous three-volume life story. Bud's 1953 International pick-up and the appearance in the film of the actual town of Miranda Postmaster William Bill Klute were quite real, and still are memories of the older residents of the small Humbolt County town of Miranda.

Meyer said he found "there was a lot of objection to the violence" in the film. "I always felt that they would take it in the manner I presented it. That if a man got a double-bitted axe buried in his chest, he could still wrench it out, run 100 yards and kill a giant with a chainsaw. But they just took it very seriously. So what I've done is to kind of ape the violence that I've had before, and it seems to get a good reaction."

Meyer said the film cost almost as much as Ultravixens "simply because I had to do so many inserts and so forth. The cost of additional shooting can be very substantial. You have to consider the escalation of lab costs."

Reception
Meyer later said he was "not particularly" pleased with the film. "At the time I was fairly pleased, but I see a lot of reasons why it was not as successful as Supervixen is."

John Scott (organist)

John Gavin Scott (18 June 1956 – 12 August 2015) was an English organist and choirmaster who reached the highest levels of his profession on both sides of the Atlantic. He directed the Choir of St Paul's Cathedral in London from 1990 to 2004. He then directed the Choir of Men and Boys of Saint Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue in New York City until his death at age 59. Whilst training countless young musicians, he maintained an active career as an international concert performer and recording artist, and was acclaimed as "the premier English organist of his generation".

Career
Born to Hetty (née Murphy) and Douglas Gavin Scott in Wakefield, Yorkshire, John Scott began his musical career as a chorister at Wakefield Cathedral. It was also there that he first learned to play the organ. From 1974 to 1978, he was Organ Scholar at St John's College, Cambridge, assisting George Guest and studying with Jonathan Bielby, Ralph Downes and Gillian Weir.

Upon graduation, he was appointed as Assistant Organist at St Paul's Cathedral and Southwark Cathedral, both in London. After 1985, he worked full-time at St Paul's, which led to his appointment as Organist and Director of Music when Christopher Dearnley retired in 1990. Scott performed at numerous special occasions for the British Royal Family, including the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, the 100th birthday of The Queen Mother, and the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. He also served on the organ faculty of the Royal Academy of Music.

In 2004, Scott moved to New York City to succeed Gerre Hancock as Organist and Director of Music at St Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, home of an internationally renowned choir and the only church-affiliated choir boarding school in North America.

Scott recorded dozens of CDs for labels that included Hyperion, Priory, Decca, Nimbus, Sony, and Chandos. He also compiled chants and psalm texts to publish in The New St Paul's Cathedral Psalter, later reprinted for worldwide distribution as The Anglican Psalter. Highlights of his concert career included the complete organ works of Bach, Buxtehude, Duruflé, Franck, Mendelssohn and Messiaen, and the complete organ symphonies of Vierne and Widor.

Honours and awards
In 1978, Scott won the inaugural Manchester International Organ Competition, and in 1984 he became the first British organist ever to win the International Bach Competition in Leipzig, Germany. In 1998, he was named "International Performer of the Year" by the New York City Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. Queen Elizabeth appointed him as a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO) in the 2004 New Year Honours, in recognition of his work at St Paul's Cathedral. In 2007, Scott was awarded an honorary doctorate from Nashotah House Theological Seminary. The organ at Saint Thomas Church, built by Dobson Pipe Organ Builders, was posthumously dedicated in his memory.

Personal life
He married Carolyn Jane Lumsden, daughter of organist David Lumsden, on 28 July 1979. They had a son and a daughter before divorcing in June 2010.

Scott married former organist Lily Ardalan on 25 May 2013, and three weeks after his death, their son was born.

Death
In the summer of 2015, at age 59, Scott performed fourteen organ recitals across seven European countries in six weeks. He completed what would become his final concert tour, and returned to New York on 11 August 2015. The next day, he suffered a cardiac episode, was admitted to Roosevelt Hospital, and died there with his wife Lily at his side. St Thomas Church held a public funeral service on 12 September 2015.

Talk:Imperial Regalia of Japan

reason
the regalia articles in the crown jewels template are always capitalised, for example Danish Crown Regalia or Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire. so in order for this article to be consistent, proposing the move. thanks.. Antares911 16:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Sounds reasonable to me. If there's a standard naming convention, we should stick to it, though perhaps a better name would be Imperial Regalia of Japan to keep in consistency with the Holy Roman usage.--Mitsukai 19:54, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Sounds good too. I´m waiting what the rest thinks...? Antares911 21:54, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose. I don't see how this is a proper noun. CDThieme 03:30, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * why, what´s the problem? Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom is written in capital letters as well. but since Japan does not have crown jewels but regalia, it should be capitalised. see above discussion Antares911 21:13, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Support "Imperial Regalia of Japan" violet/riga (t) 18:07, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 18:07, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Gamers, anime fans messing up wikipedia
Am I the only person who thinks this rounding up of every reference to every god, object, historical figure or whathaveyou in every anime and game ever made is getting a little old?

-No, you aren't. I don't know that I completely agree with your terminology, but it definitely doesn't help the credibility of this project to have little cites like this on every page. It seems like it would make a lot more sense to get the encyclopedia closer to 'done' before people start adding in little tidbits that are completely useless to 99.9% of any viewers on a particular page.

--It doesn't seem like it should be on this page. Also, these items appear in several games and anime that are already released. This makes it looks like there is just one game that makes a reference to them. Wouldn't it be better if the page about the game/anime/whatever cited the reference instead?

-- the way you said it was a bit over the top, but I agree. It appeared we had a consensus on that one (at least an unformal one), so I moved the whole section (did not erase anything though) to the game. Tensaibuta 13:54, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Right after we had consensus here, the section "==In Popular Culture==" was added, which I think made it worse. The information about anime, comic, and games are insignificant to the article Imperial Regalia of Japan, and if anyone wants to write it on Wikipedia, it should be on the pages of each anime, comic, game and not here. In addition, there are so many nonsense such as "In various Final Fantasy video games, the Murakumo is a powerful sword."... what does have to do with this article?? Unless there is a source that can be cited (for example an interview article in a magazine with the game/comic creators commenting specifically about the relationship with Imperial Regalia of Japan) it should't be written here. Please refer to Verifiability and No Original Research. Therefore, I'm proposing the "In Popular Culture" section to be deleted. Any support/counter arguments? --Tomyan (talk) 15:32, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

-- No opposition heard. Once again, the proposal of deletion had once reached consensus on 28 May 2006 and deleted by Tensaibuta. If anyone believes this portion of the article about games and comics should remain, please discuss it here before reverting. Until then, I will re-delete the ==In Popular Culture== section. --Tomyan (talk) 05:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

-- There is one thing... Uxie (wisdom/knowledge), Mesprit (emotions/benevolence), and Azelf (willpower/valor). How about that under "Popular Culture"?

Seriously incomplete?
Is it just me, or is this article missing a lot of information? For example, I was tweaking The Tale of the Heike and I came to see which two treasures didn't go to the bottom of the sea at Dannoura, and... there seems to be nothing. I know the mirror was melted in a fire in the Imperial palace, so they survived Dannoura, but that either the sword or beads was lost with Antoku. Anyone know which? --maru  (talk)  contribs
 * Yes, I think this is a gaping hole in the article. There has been a lot of speculation as to just how each artifact has come to be at its supposed present location (or lost), including professional work that would be encyclopedic. -BRPXQZME (talk) 18:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Details of the regalia at Dan-no-ura added (the sword and the jewel were thrown in the sea with the emperor, the jewel was recovered by divers). Alansplodge (talk) 20:18, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Other interpretation
I read an interpretation of sword as thunderbolt, mirror as sun and jewel as moon. --Error 01:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Photos certainly must exist!
> Since 690, the presentation of these items to the Emperor by the priests at the shrine are a central part of the imperial enthronement ceremony. This ceremony is not public, and these items are by tradition only seen by the emperor and certain priests. Because of this, no known photographs or drawings exist. <

I would bet pretty penny that the US occupational troops in 1945-47 did demand visual verification and took photos of the regalia when they worked towards pacification of Japan and imposition of the new constitution, which seriously curbed the imperial family and powers. Obviously the USA had to make sure they were not cheated and the treasures were still there and not smuggled abroad for a claimant to incite rebellion later on, etc.

Any photos made by a US serviceman in line of duty would be in the public domain. 82.131.210.163 (talk) 17:45, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Contradicting Information
This page says that the sword was lost in the water, the jewel was found by divers and the mirror was captured. Battle of Dan-no-ura has the mirror and jewel the other way around. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.36.148.117 (talk) 01:27, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Kitano Tenmangū

Kitano Tenmangū (北野天満宮) is a Shinto shrine in Kamigyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan.

History
The shrine was first built in 947 to appease the angry spirit of bureaucrat, scholar and poet Sugawara no Michizane, who had been exiled as a result of political maneuvers of his enemies in the Fujiwara clan.

The shrine became the object of Imperial patronage during the early Heian period. In 965, Emperor Murakami ordered that Imperial messengers be sent to report important events to the guardian kami of Japan. These messengers initially presented gifts called  to 16 shrines; and in 991, Emperor Ichijō added three more shrines to Murakami's list — including Kitano.

From 1871 through 1946, the Kitano Tenman-gū was officially designated one of the Kanpei-chūsha (官幣中社), meaning that it stood in the second rank of government supported shrines.

Tenjin
The shrine was dedicated to Michizane; and in 986, the scholar-bureaucrat was deified and the title of "Tenjin" was conferred.

The grounds are filled with Michizane's favorite tree, the red and white ume or plum blossom, and when they blossom the shrine is often very crowded. The Plum Blossom Festival (梅花祭, baikasai) is held on February 25, coinciding with the monthly market. An open-air tea ceremony (野点, nodate) is hosted by geiko and apprentice maiko from the nearby Kamishichiken district, where tea and wagashi are served to 3,000 guests by geisha and maiko. The plum festival has been held on the same day every year for about 900 years to mark the death of Michizane. The outdoor tea ceremony dates back to 1952. In that year, a big festival was held to mark the 1,050th anniversary of Michizane's death, based on the historic Kitano Ochakai tea ceremony hosted at the shrine by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Kitano Tenmangū is popular with students praying for success in exams because the deity was in his life a man of literature and knowledge. On the 25th of every month, the shrine hosts a flea market. Together with the similar festival at Tō-ji, a temple in the same city, they inspired the Kyoto proverb, "Fair weather at the Tōji market means rainy weather at the Tenjin market," calling to mind Kyoto's fickle weather.

Ed Sikov

Ed Sikov (born 1957, Pennsylvania) is an American film scholar and author. His books include Mr. Strangelove: A Biography of Peter Sellers (published in 2002), On Sunset Boulevard: The Life and Times of Billy Wilder (published in 1998), and Laughing Hysterically: American Screen Comedies of the 1950s (published in 1994).

Early life
Sikov was born in Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania, majored in English at Haverford College, and has a PhD from Columbia University; Sikov has since written eloquently of the difficulties he experienced as a gay student in the 1970s. He has lived in New York City since 1979, and currently resides with his husband, Bruce Schackman.

Publishings
Sikov's most recent book is a textbook – Film Studies: An Introduction; before that was Dark Victory: The Life of Bette Davis (Henry Holt, 2007). He recorded a commentary track for the Special Collector's Edition DVD of Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, and is often called upon as a film expert for articles and documentaries, such as the 10-part American Cinema series produced by the New York Center for Visual History in association with the BBC and PBS. He has also written for the British and US editions of Premiere magazine as well as for Out, The Advocate, Connoisseur, Spy, Village Voice and Film Quarterly.

Critical reception to Sikov's books has been appreciative: film historian Jeanine Basinger finds him "a caring biographer" who is exhaustive in his research; his writing has been noted for its unsentimental tone and detailed scholarship. While taking issue with his style, film critic Rex Reed has acknowledged Sikov's accuracy and refusal to "whitewash" facts.

Sikov has taught film studies at several colleges and universities, including Colorado College and his alma maters Columbia University and Haverford College. A course he taught at Haverford between 1995 and 2005, Sex and Gender on Film, earned notice as "one of the most popular courses" at that institution.

Sikov's contributions as an author and teacher have been curtailed by the onset of Parkinson's disease. He stopped writing the Media Circus   column in the New York-based Gay City News in early 2020.

Talk:Philippine electoral crisis, 2005

Started the article, its a big issue now, though the international media are not yet reporting about it. Also, I tried to make it NPOV as much as possible, even though Arroyo has not formally denied the accusations. This will have a better NPOV as the event develops, especially if she defends herself. --Noypi380 15:57, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Also, data bout the Supreme Court is lacking, and I think data bout them are necessary as early as now. --Noypi380 16:39, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A brief background of the players involved would also be ideal - Dryermaker

I agree, although the background data of the players should be in separate articles. It would really be nice to have more info about Virgilio Garcillano. Also, I like the new image of Arroyo that was added, for it shows a human face of the story. Anyone with images of Ong and Garcillano? --Noypi380 29 June 2005 14:19 (UTC)

Fixed some broken links, and some updates. --Noypi380 1 July 2005 14:15 (UTC)

Merged Gloriagate and this article...--Noypi380 5 July 2005 05:34 (UTC)

The Arroyo speech that formerly was in gloriagate is now found in this link, speech. There is a policy that such things are to be placed in sister project and not here. Also, anyone with pics of Garcillano? --Noypi380 5 July 2005 05:46 (UTC)

Also, I fixed the July 4 portion, to make it more comprehensive. Hope its ok. --Noypi380 5 July 2005 06:26 (UTC)

I am sorry for my bad editing in the July 4 portion. But as a Lasallian, I did not like what Bro. Armin did. --Tabris 5 July 2005 22:36 (UTC)

Okay, no problem. Let's just have some fun updating this article, particularly the events history portion. This crisis is developing and it would be encouraged if we be comprehensive and if we do not consume too much space. Also, if anyone would want to translate this article to various native Filipino languages and/or dialects, pls visit Cebuano or Tagalog. Cheers!--Noypi380 6 July 2005 03:08 (UTC)

Removed the ABS-CBN and GMA-7 link descriptions such as the #1 TV network etc., that looks uneyclopedic. --Circa 1900 11:42, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Jueteng

 * The President’s husband, Juan Miguel Arroyo, left for San Francisco, for voluntary exile to help ease political tensions fueled by the jueteng and wiretapping allegations.

The article doesn't mention the jueteng scandal or the first gentleman except for this line. That part should be clarified. Or maybe that belongs in another article... not sure, I haven't been following that part anymore. :p Good job, Noypi, with keeping this article updated and neutral! TheCoffee 07:44, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, ok, I'll try to see how to clarify that issue, and how to write it. I believe though that jueteng is a separate issue, mostly about her family, and not really about her. This specific issue though is big on its own, because it is not only about a person (like older issues), but the entire electoral system, which includes candidates, comelec, the watchdogs, and especially the voters. And, thanks for your comment on neutrality. Its easier to keep an article neutral when it is neutral from the very beginning. Finally, thanks to all the other contributors, for all the new info and being equally neutral, especially with all the propaganda wars going on. The crisis is not yet over though, and there is still much work to be done. :) --Noypi380 05:00, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I guess after the fork, that issue won't be a problem anymore. Jueteng scandal really is definitely a separate issue. --Noypi380 14:20, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Suggestion
Additionally, I suggest that "Arroyo", "Estrada", "Ramos, or "Aquino" be used rather than using "President" as the noun, or the modifier. There are already so many descriptions of the people, and links to the president article, that it may become unnecessary already. Just a suggestion :) --Noypi380 16:00, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Correction

 * Hey, regarding the Tuesday, June 8 part, there is a mistake. Its either the 7th on Tuesday, or the 8th on Wednesday. Which one? That has to be corrected. --Noypi380 09:25, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Make sub-articles
Hi Noypi380, this article is getting bigger and bigger everyday. I suggest that we should create sub-articles for each section of this article for easy navigation and fast page download. What do you think? --Jojit fb 02:31, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, I agree. How do you suggest we go about it? --Noypi380 10:49, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Forked out the events history into this article. You're right, the page load time improved, at least with me. --Noypi380 12:19, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Yup, the page load is faster with me now. Thanks Noypi, keep it up! --Jojit fb 03:39, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Reminders
If anyone would like to add info regarding recent events, or the actions of protesters, politicians, parties, influential bodies, famous personalities, etc, pls add those to the new dedicated article History of the 2005 Philippine electoral crisis instead. Thanks. :) --Noypi380 14:12, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Elektron (alloy)

Elektron is the registered trademark of a wide range of magnesium alloys manufactured by a British company, Magnesium Elektron Limited.

There are about 100 alloys in the Elektron range, containing from 0% to 9.5% of some of the following elements in varying proportions: aluminium (< 9.5%), yttrium (5.25%), neodymium (2.7%), silver (2.5%), gadolinium (1.3%), zinc (0.9%), zirconium (0.6%), manganese (0.5%) and other rare-earth metals.

Varying amounts of alloying elements (up to 9.5%) added to the magnesium result in changes to mechanical properties such as increased tensile strength, creep resistance, thermal stability or corrosion resistance. Elektron is unusually light and has a specific gravity of about 1.8 compared with the 2.8 of aluminium alloy, or the 7.9 of steel. Magnesium's relatively low density makes its alloy variants suitable for use in auto racing and aerospace engineering applications.

History
Elektron or Elektronmetall was first developed in 1908 by Gustav Pistor and Wilhelm Moschel at the Bitterfeld works of Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron (CFGE or CFG), the headquarters of which was in Griesheim am Main, Germany. The composition of the initial Elektron alloy was approximately Mg 90%, Al 9%, other 1%. At its pavilion at the International Aviation Fair (Internationale Luftschiffahrt-Ausstellung, ILA) in Frankfurt am Main in 1909, CFG exhibited an Adler 75HP engine with a cast magnesium alloy crankcase. Also exhibiting at the 1909 Frankfurt Air Exhibition was August Euler (1868–1957) – owner of German pilot's licence No. 1 – who manufactured Voisin biplanes under licence in Griesheim am Main. His Voisins with Adler 50 hp engines flew in October 1909.

CFG joined the newly created IG Farben as an associate company in 1916. During the Allied Occupation after World War I, a Major Charles J. P. Ball, DSO, MC, of the Royal Horse Artillery was stationed in Germany. He later joined F. A. Hughes and Co. Ltd., which began manufacturing elektron in the UK under licence from IG Farben from around 1923.

CFG merged fully with the IG Farben conglomerate in 1925 along with Versuchsbau Hellmuth Hirth (a copper alloy manufacturer), to form another company, Elektronmetall Bad Cannstatt Stuttgart. In 1935, IG Farben, ICI and F. A. Hughes and Co. (22% shares) founded Magnesium Elektron Ltd. of Clifton, Greater Manchester. The company is still manufacturing alloys in 2017.

Uses
Elektron has been used in Zeppelin airships, aircraft, and motor racing applications.

Incendiary bombs using elektron were developed towards the end of the First World War by both Germany (the B-1E Elektronbrandbombe or Stabbrandbombe) and the UK. Although neither side used this type of bomb operationally during the conflict, Erich Ludendorff mentions in his memoirs a plan to bomb Paris with a new type of incendiary bomb with the aim of overwhelming the city's fire services; this planned raid was also reported in Le Figaro on 21 December 1918. The lightness of elektron meant that a large aeroplane like the Zeppelin-Staaken R-type bomber could carry hundreds of bomblets.

British and German incendiary bombs used extensively during World War II weighed about 1 kg and consisted of an outer casing made of elektron alloy, which was filled with thermite pellets and fitted with a fuse. The fuse ignited the thermite, which in turn ignited the magnesium casing; it burned for about 15 minutes. Trying to douse the fire with water only intensified the reaction. It could not be extinguished and burned at such a high temperature that it could penetrate armour plate.

In 1924, magnesium alloys (AZ; 2,5–3,0% Al; 3,0–4,0% Zn) were used in automobile pistons diecast by Elektronmetall Bad Cannstatt, another IG Farben company formed out of Versuchsbau Hellmuth Hirth.

The main engine bearers of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Junkers Ju 87 were made from forged elektron. The air-cooled BMW 801 radial aero engine that powered the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 had a radiator fan made of magnesium alloy, very probably elektron.

An advertisement in the German trade paper Flugsport in 1939 claimed that the record-breaking Arado Ar 79 aircraft contained 25% by weight of elektron, mostly in the Hirth HM 504 A2 4-cylinder inline engine whose crankcase was made of Elektron.

The connectors for the fuel pipes in the engine compartment of Tiger II tanks were originally made of elektron, but they distorted when clamped and were replaced with steel ones.

Siemens-Halske used elektron casings for their Hellschreiber military teleprinter used during WW2.

The prototype 4-seater 1948 Planet Satellite had a monocoque fuselage of elektron, a solid elektron keel and wings skinned in elektron, but the keel suffered from stress failures and never reached production.

The bodywork of certain racing cars utilized elektron, including the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR that infamously crashed in the 1955 Le Mans race, highlighting its flammability.

Mount Olympus (solitaire)

Mount Olympus is a solitaire card game using two decks of 52 playing cards. It is probably thus named because of the tableau's mountain shape and because if won, all the kings and queens are displayed, like the Greek gods and goddesses who were said to reside on Mount Olympus.

Rules
First, all aces and deuces, or twos (16 cards in all), are removed from the two decks. Then the remaining 88 cards are shuffled and nine of them are laid out on the tableau in an inverted "V" formation. Although this is part of the theme that gives the game its name, the player can opt to just lay the nine cards in a straight line. These nine cards start each of the nine piles in the tableau.

Building on the 16 foundations is up by suit in intervals of two:
 * On the aces: 3-5-7-9-J-K
 * On the deuces: 4-6-8-10-Q

Building on the tableau is down, also by suit in intervals of two (i.e. the 5♠ must be placed on the 7♠). A card can be placed on an applicable card, but spaces are not filled. A sequence of cards (such as 6-8-10♣) can be moved as one unit. Any appropriate card can be placed on the foundations at any time.

Once all possible moves have been made or the player has made all moves he wanted to make, a new set of nine cards are dealt (Spider style), one for each pile. Moving, filling gaps with new cards, and dealing a new set of nine cards continue until the stock has been used up.

The game is won when all the cards are in the foundations with the kings and queens on top.

Variations
The original German rules were included in Illustriertes Buch der Patiencen (published in about 1875) under the name "Der Olymp". These make no mention of a spider-style deal, or of moving sequences.

Being able only to move the top card of piles under the original rules is very restrictive, since empty spaces can't be used to move cards around. Descriptions in the 1940s started to allow entire sequences to be moved, and partial sequences soon after, and these are the rules most commonly used today.

Flora of Svalbard

There are over 190 vascular plant species on the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. This figure does not include algae, mosses, and lichens, which are non-vascular plants. For an island so far north, this number of species constitutes an astonishing variety of plant life. Because of the harsh climate and the short growing season, all the plants are slow growing. They seldom grow higher than 10 cm

In some areas, especially in warmer valleys, the plants produce carpets of blossoms. Svalbard has been divided into four vegetation zones.

Sea daisy

Sea daisies (infraclass Concentricycloidea; order Peripodida) make up an unusual group of deep-sea taxa belonging to the phylum Echinodermata, with three species described in the genus Xyloplax. Intestine and anus are absent.

Distribution
Sea daisies have been discovered in three localities, including deep-sea habitats off New Zealand, the Bahamas and most recently from the northern central Pacific. They have been collected primarily from sunken, deep-sea (1000+ meters) wood. Although known from only a handful of specimens initially, many specimens have now been collected from the Bahamas.

Classification
Since they were discovered in 1986, their position within the echinoderms has been debated. At first they were placed in a new class, Concentricycloidea, since it was unclear whether they might have affinities with asteroids or ophiuroids. The former view gained acceptance, and since 2006, they are currently considered a sister group to the Infraclass Neoasteroidea, which represents all post-Paleozoic asteroids within the Class Asteroidea.

Class Asteroidea, Infraclass Concentricycloidea, Order Peripoda (or Peripodida), Family Xyloplacidae
 * Genus Xyloplax
 * Xyloplax janetae
 * Xyloplax medusiformis
 * Xyloplax turnerae

Basamum

Basamum was a deity worshipped in pre-Islamic South Arabia. His name may be derived from the proto-Arabic basam, or balsam, a plant that was used in ancient medicines, indicating that he may have been a deity associated with healing or health. One ancient text referred to Basamum curing two sick goats or ibexes.

Surely it was not only the guerillas who destroyed the country and killed people? -- Mwanner 16:02, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

This page should be improved or removed. Figures are blatantly inflated. Check, for instance, the Number of people originally from Nicaragua living in Italay: "less than 20.000" is actually 337 (113 males 224 females) in Italian officlial statistical office webpage (data as of 31st of december 2004). So how can we trust all oither statistics. These pages are going to turn Wikipedia into an inaccurate mess. Tariq

User talk:Nettyboo

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have.  You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox.  When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.  First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette.  Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame)  16:02, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Tmartin.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Tmartin.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Richard_e_grant.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Richard_e_grant.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 13:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Jlumley.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jlumley.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

Regarding my actions
If you want to complain about me, there is no stopping you. However, like I said before, take a look at the section "How not to be a spammer" in WP:SPAM. In particular: "Contribute cited text, not bare links" and "Don't gratuitously set off our spam radar". As it is clear you are a registered user, please also edit logged in. Otherwise one sees (like I did) an IP user whose edits, with few exceptions, consist of linking a site, and not actually contributing. That tends to scream "SPAM!" so loud it is deafening.--Drat (Talk) 01:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Laughterlog.com
The information on this site can be either included in Wikipedia, or can be found elsewhere, so external links to the site aren't really appropriate in this case. HawkerTyphoon 15:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * You cannot simply copy other sites and put them in Wikipedia, so it is relevant to link to them instead. Nettyboo 15:21, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * You're right there, but you can take the information from them and rephrase it in your own words :-) HawkerTyphoon 15:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The information I am linking to is discographies, radio lists, television lists, episode guides, etc, etc. You can't rephrase a list.  It isn't fair to deny that information to researchers.  ;-) Nettyboo 15:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Most of it is already on IMDB.com, and if it's only a list, it can easily be placed on Wikipedia and the list isn't copyrighted. Although we can leave the links in I suppose:P Happy eediting! HawkerTyphoon 15:31, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you. Live long and prosper. Nettyboo 15:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

November 2009
Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to List of actors who have played the Doctor. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. magnius (talk) 11:55, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to List of actors who have played the Doctor. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. magnius (talk) 14:42, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

If you continue to interfere with my talk page I will report you and request that you are blocked from editing. I am well within my rights to delete anything I wish from my own talk page WP:VAN, you actions are vandalism. magnius (talk) 00:06, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:Magnius. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. magnius (talk) 00:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you! Beeblebrox (talk) 03:18, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Yawns!! Reported me for what? Following wiki policy? Move along buddy. magnius (talk) 13:12, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:John & Yoko.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:John & Yoko.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 14:21, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Bold, Revert, Discuss at List of actors who have played the Doctor
Actually, the onus is on you to start the discussion. Two different editors have reverted your edit. You shouold read WP:BRD; you were Bold and added it, it was Reverted (twice), and so now you should Discuss. If someone else reverts it, and you revert it again, you'll be edit warring and at risk of being blocked.

However, I've started at discussion on the talk page. Ged UK  13:40, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Topio. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Topio~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:24, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:55, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Phaneron, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Phenomenology. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:05, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

 * I have now noticed this, but have not yet acted on it because there does not appear to be a single obvious target for the link. The phenomenology disambiguation page itself probably needs to be overhauled.  See also Categories (Peirce).  Archelon (talk) 15:56, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Covariance and contravariance of vectors, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pushforward. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:52, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

 * The pushforward page is probably the best target of that link, as things are now. The page itself is suboptimal, though.  Maybe it should explain how each of the "pushforwards" it links to share the appropriate universal property.  Of course then it would violate the Procrustean rules for disambiguation pages.  It's not true in general that "a disambiguation page is merely a list of 'Did you mean...' article titles", of course.  Especially not mathematical ones.  Archelon (talk) 18:07, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
