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 Theodosius. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Theodosius~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 03:04, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

The Far Arena

The Far Arena is a 1978 novel by Richard Sapir, writing under the slightly modified pen name of Richard Ben Sapir. It chronicles the adventures of Eugeni, a Roman gladiator from the age of Domitian, who, due to a highly unlikely series of events, is frozen in ice for nineteen centuries before being found by the Houghton Oil Company on a prospecting mission in the north Atlantic.

Summary
Lew McCardle is a geologist working for Houghton Oil, which has reason to believe that there is oil in the far north. While running a test drill, the machine accidentally uncovers the frozen body of a man. Lew is given charge of the body, and he immediately calls Semyon Petrovitch, who is a Soviet scientist. Petrovitch, who specializes in cryonics (but not cryogenics, as he explains) immediately takes the body to be revived, explaining that it is easier to treat such a case as alive until it is proven that life cannot be restored. The blood is pumped from the body, and various treatments are administered until, amazingly, he does come back to life. He spends the next fifteen days in a deep sleep, muttering to himself. The mutterings are recorded, but no-one can figure out the language. Finally, Lew McCardle, who has eight years of Latin, sends for a Catholic nun, who joins him and Petrovitch on their quest to sort out the mysteries of the revived man.

The story is similar to the film Iceman (1984 film), though "The Far Arena" came first.

Stan Tracey

Stanley William Tracey (30 December 1926 – 6 December 2013) was a British jazz pianist and composer, whose most important influences were Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk. Tracey's best known recording is the 1965 album Jazz Suite Inspired by Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood", which is based on the BBC radio drama Under Milk Wood, by Dylan Thomas.

Early career
The Second World War meant that Tracey had a disrupted formal education, and he became a professional musician at the age of sixteen as a member of an ENSA touring group playing the accordion, his first instrument. He joined Ralph Reader's Gang Shows at the age of nineteen, while in the RAF and formed a brief acquaintance with the comedian Tony Hancock. Later, in the early 1950s, he worked in groups on the transatlantic liners Queen Mary and Caronia and toured the UK in 1951 with Cab Calloway. By the mid-1950s, he had also taken up the vibraphone, but later ceased playing it. At this time he worked widely with leading British modernists, including drummer Tony Crombie, clarinettist Vic Ash, the saxophonist-arranger Kenny Graham and trumpeter Dizzy Reece.

In February 1957, he toured the United States with Ronnie Scott's group, and became the pianist with Ted Heath's Orchestra in September for two years (1958–59), including a US tour with singer Carmen McRae. Although Tracey disliked Heath's music, he gained a regular income and was well featured as a soloist on both piano and vibes, and contributed compositions and arrangements that stayed in the Heath book for many years. The following year he recorded his first album as leader, Showcase, for English Decca (also Heath's label) and Little Klunk in 1959; he had first recorded in 1952 with the trumpeter Kenny Baker. At Decca Records, Tracey met his future wife, Jackie Buckland (3 April 1929 – 13 August 2009 ); the couple had two children Clark and Sarah.

At Ronnie's and the Under Milk Wood LP
From March 1960 until about 1967 (some sources give 1968), Tracey was the house pianist at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in Soho, London, and he had the opportunity to accompany many of the leading musicians from the US who visited the club. Recordings of some of these performances appeared on LP, while others appeared on the Jazz House and Harkit labels, recorded by the journalist Les Tomkins, but with non-professional recording equipment. Which working at Scott's club, Tracey gained some high-profile admirers; Sonny Rollins asserted at one concert: "Does anyone here know how good he is?". It is Tracey on piano that film viewers hear behind Rollins on the soundtrack of the Michael Caine version of Alfie (1966).

However, the experience of working in Scott's club affected Tracey's health; the long hours led to him taking various illicit stimulants, and the low wages also meant that he had to take the workman's bus back home to Streatham at 3am.

At the same time, he became active too in Michael Horovitz's New Departures project, mixing poetry performances with jazz, where the musicians interacted spontaneously with the words. The New Departures group recorded an album in 1964 with saxophonist Bobby Wellins, a partnership that continued for several decades. Both men contributed original compositions to the album.

Tracey's 1965 album (its full title is Jazz Suite Inspired by Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood") is one of the most celebrated jazz recordings made in the United Kingdom. Tracey was inspired to compose the suite by hearing the original 1953 BBC broadcast on an LP his wife Jackie had acquired. The track "Starless and Bible Black", a quote from the opening monologue, is probably the best demonstration of Wellins' lyricism and the highlight of Tracey's whole career. Such is the affection with which these pieces are held that Tracey has re-recorded them on several occasions, something that is unusual for British jazz musicians to do. Under Milk Wood was followed by Alice in Jazzland, an album for big band, the next year featuring many of his former Ted Heath colleagues. Later in the decade, Tracey made the arrangements for an Acker Bilk record, Blue Acker, and his first album dedicated to Duke Ellington compositions (both recorded in 1968), in this case to commemorate Ellington's 70th birthday the following year.

Experimentation and consolidation
The early 1970s were a bleak time for Tracey. Around 1970, he almost chose to retrain as a postman under pressure from the Unemployment Benefits' office – "I would have quite a good pension by now" he quips – but his wife, formerly involved in public relations, took a more direct role in the development of Tracey's career.

He began to work with musicians of a later generation, who worked in a free or avant-garde style, including Mike Osborne, Keith Tippett and John Surman. Tracey continued to work in this idiom with Evan Parker at the UK's Appleby Jazz Festival for several years, but this was always more of a sideline for Tracey, who said that he "took more out of free music into the mainstream than I did from mainstream into free". Neil Ferber founder and organiser of the Appleby Jazz Festival built the festival around Stan Tracey and the musicians who worked with him, booking Stan to appear at every festival for the 18 years that it existed.

In the mid-1970s he formed his own record label, Steam, and through it reissued Under Milk Wood (the major label that held the rights to it had allowed it to fall out of print). Over the next decade he also used the outlet to issue recordings of a number of commissioned suites. These included The Salisbury Suite (1978), The Crompton Suite (1981) and The Poets Suite (1984).

He led his own octet from 1976 to 1985 and formed a sextet in 1979 (later called Hexad), touring widely in the Middle East and India. In this context he had a longstanding performance partnership from 1978 with saxophonist (and physician) Art Themen, and his own son, the drummer Clark Tracey. He was able to share the billing with arranger Gil Evans in a 1978 concert at the Royal Festival Hall, such was Tracey's pre-eminence in the UK. In private, he played Ellington recordings for Evans that the latter had not previously heard. Tracey continued to record with American musicians on occasion as well, with dates taking place with Sal Nistico in 1985 and Monk associate, Charlie Rouse in 1987.

The Steam label ceased trading in the early 1990s, reportedly because of difficulties caused by the retail trade's need for its inventory to carry a barcode. However, in 1992 Tracey benefited from Blue Note's brief interest in UK musicians, leading to the Portraits Plus album and the commercial issue of the BBC's recording of the concert commemorating the 50th anniversary of Tracey's first professional gig, as well as Under Milk Wood′s debut on CD.

In 1995 his new quartet featuring Gerard Presencer recorded the For Heaven's Sake album and also performed gigs together. In 2003 Tracey was the subject of a BBC Television documentary Godfather of British Jazz, a rare accolade nowadays for any jazz musician, let alone one from Britain. Tracey's catalogue from the LP era is being reissued on ReSteamed Records.

Already an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2008 New Year Honours.

Tracey died of cancer on 6 December 2013; he was survived by his son, Clark Tracey, who has written a biography of his father, with a complete discography. His daughter Sarah died in 2012.

Gyro tower

A gyro tower, or panoramic tower, is a revolving observation tower with a vertical moving platform. A gyro tower's observation deck is not simply raised to provide its passengers a spectacular view, it is also rotated around the supporting mast, either once in the raised position or while traveling up and down the center mast.

Gyro towers are seldom part of funfairs but can be found more often in permanent amusement parks. A well-known American gyro tower is the Kissing Tower at Hersheypark.

A unique gyro tower is the Space Tower, which sits atop the Euromast in Rotterdam.

Portal redesign
I would encourage you to retain a news, current FAs, Things to do and collaboration sections, in order to encourage people to visit other pages and do some work. Cheers ww2censor 23:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I took news out because it just wasn't being updated on the side of WikiNews. I'll add FAs again. --sony-youth pléigh 07:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

More views
You are ambitious to make changes daily; weekly would seem more reasonable IMHO. Daily will likely just be too much work for you and take you away from editing other articles, but it's is up to you. I would start slower and if you find you can do more add more frequent changes, rather than have to cut back from your aspired schedule.

I would be inclined to create a box around the Categories and Featured Articles; maybe both in one box if you can do it. I would also be inclined to box the intro too. Another feature you might add is a "New articles" area. A link to the WikiProject Ireland could possibly be unhidden because it takes some digging to find it, even though I know it exists. Remember that ease of use and finding stuff should be the ambition as it may not always be experienced users who may come here. Another useful link might be to the WikiProject Ireland's assessments statistics if you feel it is appropriate. Besides all that, a good job and great to see someone is prepared to do the work. Cheers & thanks ww2censor 23:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I cleaned up the "Contributions" section so it points to the Wikiprojects more clearly. I think you're right about the "daily" ambition - it wasn't so hard, but yes, the cutting back, which would happen in time, (which I know I'm doing now!) would not be pleasant. Toning it down to twice a week. Will add "new articles area" - but that would need to be updated pretty regularly so I want to look into a workable system of doing that (any ideas for automation?)
 * I could put the "Categories" and "Featured Articles" into a box but my idea was to box regularly updated stuff (both because it handy to edit and because it highlights it). Unboxed content is intended to signify "fixed" stuff (at least in the medium- to long-term). Boxing everything ends up in "box cruft". I'd pefer to 'frame' things naturally adn avoid that (though, adminttedly, depending on the relative length of the "Selected picture" and "Selected article" the natural framing of "Categories" and "Features articles" get's wanked out at the botttom).

Francis Bacon (painter)
I am hoping some members can take a look at the Francis Bacon page. Bacon was born in Ireland, the child of an Australian father and an Irish mother, all grandparents were English.

Portal Welcome
The welcome phrase to this portal in Irish says "Fáilte ar phortal na hÉireann". There should be a chuig instead of "ar". Appalling. Can anyone who knows how to fix this error please fix it as I don't know how to fix it.(Footyfanatic3000 (talk) 16:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC))
 * I though chuig was 4, but I did not write it. I'll ask someone. ww2censor (talk) 19:18, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Footyfanatic is correct. The phrase should read Fáilte chuig Portal na hÉireann. See the Irish Aviation Authority website here, the Pensions Board here, and Gael Linn here. These sites show the correct usage. --MacTire02 (talk) 19:48, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ ww2censor (talk) 19:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately the welcome phrase is still wrong. As it stands it reads Fáilte chuig Phortal na hÉireann. The preposition chuig only takes eclipsis/lenition with the singular article an (e.g. chuig an gcailín, chuig an tsúil, chuig an chailín - depending on where you're from). As this article is not present, the phrase should read Fáilte chuig Portal na hÉireann without the leniting h in Portal. Le gach dea-ghuí, --MacTire02 (talk) 09:44, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Fair faa ye tae... is gramatically incorrect.

 * It's not possible to "befall" or "well betide" someone to someplace. The (Ulster) Scots for welcome is simply walcome.Walcome
 * When Robert Burns wrote "Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great Chieftan o' the Puddin-race" he wasn't welcoming the "honest, sonsie face" he was wishing good fortune on it.

 * It may be arguably be grammatically incorrect in standard Modern (Lowland) Scots, but it's the most common way of saying "welcome" in modern Ulster-Scots. It's on road signs, it's on official gov't and council websites, the BBC uses it in their A Kist o Wurds guide to Ulster-Scots – I think it's the best way of wording the Portal welcome in Ullans, but I'd be keen to hear opinions from other (registered) editors. — Jon C.  ॐ  08:18, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Notice from the Portals WikiProject
WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   07:34, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Academy Award for Best Animated Feature

Best Picture
It is often claimed that the introduction of the Best Animated Feature award means that no other animated feature (after Beauty and the Beast) will ever be nominated for Best Picture. Is that actually a rule?—that is, is an animated feature now no longer eligible for Best Picture? AJD 16:44, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

 * No, they are still eligible, just like Foreign films. Documentaries are eligible I think as well. Shipguy 05:15, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Of course they're still eligible. The academy wouldn't say that a film can't be the best animated film and the best film. It's just NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER going to happen because they have their own categories and therefore the academy doesn't feel obligated to nominate any of the minor best feature films for best picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.253.53 (talk) 11:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Pixar's Up and Toy Story 3 were nominated for a best feature in 2010. I think Frozen might surprise with a nomination this year, but you're right a win is probably never going to happen. Verlaine76 (talk) 14:18, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Link
This article needs a link to an official page where all of these rules are clearly stated. Does anyone know why Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss was not in the running to be nominated this year? It seemed to fulfill all of the requirements - it's 76 minutes long and was released in a Los Angeles theatre in October. If it had been in the running, there would have been 16 contestants and thus 5 nominees. Esn 10:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

 * According to the general rules for Elegibility for the Academy Awards
 * 'Films that, in any version, receive their first public exhibition or distribution in any manner other than as a theatrical motion picture release will not be eligible for Academy Awards in any category. (This includes broadcast and cable television as well as home video marketing and Internet transmission.)  However, ten minutes or ten percent of the running time of a film, whichever is shorter, is allowed to be shown in a nontheatrical medium prior to the film’s theatrical release.'
 * And according to IMDb, Romeo and Juliet: Sealed With a Kiss was originally released as an Australian DVD, thus making it not eligible for the Oscars. Also, it might not have met the 'advertised and exploited during their Los Angeles run in a manner considered normal and customary to the industry' requirement, because that requirement seems a little vague. It's also required that the filmmaker submit specific forms to the Academy. I know the pages says that there are exceptions in animation, but on the page of animation rules it says that it must meet the requirments stated in the general rules. Cheesechimp 07:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Recipient
Is this award presented to the producer of the film (like Best Picture) or is it presented to the director or is it presented to the studio? which ever it is, I think they ought to be listed in the table. Thanks, -ErinHowarth (talk) 20:05, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Add All Submitted Films?

 * This article only lists the final nominees/winners. Would it be enlightening to list all 10 to 20 films that were submitted each year for consideration?

208.101.200.47 (talk) 11:08, 25 December 2011 (UTC)NealP

I think that's a good idea. Now it's hard to peruse the lists. 2A02:A453:C8B7:1:494B:F961:FC2E:4600 (talk) 19:48, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Studio Section
I see that Aardman Animation's film have both been listed twice, once under Aardman, and once more under each films respective US distributor (Dreamworks for Wallace and Gromit, Sony for Pirates.)

Surely for some consistency they should only be listed under Aardman (for example Studio Ghibli's and Pixar's films are not credited to Disney, Laika's not to their distributor, Focus Features). Happy Feet was a winner in 2007 (obviously a bad year) yet is not associated with any studio. Therefore there is an error in that the number of total winners still adds up to 12.

I propose removing the Aardman films from the Dreamworks sections, and adding Happy Feet under Animal Logic which now has a track record (though not a very oscar friendly one) of animated features with The Owls of Ga'hoole, Walking with Dinosaurs 3D and the upcoming Lego Movie. Verlaine76 (talk) 11:37, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm making the above proposed edit as no one seems to suggest a reason not to. Verlaine76 (talk) 12:28, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I agree with the above comment; it doesn't make sense to include duplicates in this table (e.g., Wallace & Gromit under DreamWorks, Ice Age under Fox). Otherwise, you would need to be consistent and put Pixar's films under Disney as well. Anterras (talk) 23:42, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Can you explain why? It's odd that Ice Age is included for Fox, but Coco isn't included for Disney. Anterras (talk) 03:57, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * @Anterras Because the link to Disney on that page is to Walt Disney Animation Studios (not Disney Pictures!!) which does not do Pixar films like Coco and the link to Fox on that is 20th Century Fox Animation which they co-produced with Blue Sky Studios you asshole!! I swear to god I am going to blow up this website if you push my buttons more. Also this table is also for co-production on the films by each animation studios that works together on these films and would be better if the table was just a score board for how many films were nominated and won by these studios and not have the titles of the films in them you royal nitwit!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by DragonKing22 (talk • contribs)
 * I don't think it's accurate to say that 20th Century Fox Animation "co-produced" with Blue Sky. Fox Animation is simply the name of Fox's animation division, of which Blue Sky is a part. It'd be like saying that Comcast should be credited for Minions as something other than the owner of Illumination. Anterras (talk) 01:31, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

The list of winners and nominees lists the year that the films were released, instead of the year of the academy awards.
For example, Shrek is listed next to the year 2001. It was released in 2001 but won the academy award in 2002. I think it would make more sense to list the year of the academy awards, or to at least make it clear to the reader that the year listed is the year of the film's release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.50.168 (talk) 18:59, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Loving Vincent
Obviously we're a week away from finding out nominations but I would like to know where Loving Vincent would be placed, as you know this is the first ever oil painted film so I have no idea if it qualifies as traditional animation or it would needed to be added to a separate category should it end up being nominated.

The Lion King (2019)
The article mentions that The Nightmare Before Christmas and Kubo and the Two Strings are the only animated films to be nominated for Best Visual Effects. The Lion King (2019) was also nominated for Best Visual Effects and it is absolutely not live-action. It was rendered in photo-realistic computer animation like The Jungle Book (2016). The difference between the two is that The Jungle Book has some actual live-action elements to it. The Lion King was even nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film and Disney has never said that it's live-action, despite what some Wikipedia editors say when they delete the information from this page. Even the Wikipedia page for the film begins with the words "The Lion King is a 2019 American animated musical film [...]" (emphasis added). The Lion King is an animated film that was nominated for Best Visual Effects. —IJVin (talk) 07:40, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Chapitalas stadis d'Europa
Hello,

Since I have been active at the Romansh Wikipedia, I have been working on the template "Chapitalas stadis d'Europa" for a nice summary of the European capitals at the bottom in each of the capital's articles. I tried to find all of the correct translations of the European capitals into Romansh, but I'm not quite sure yet whether all the translations are correct or not. So, I would like to ask to you if you perhaps can take a look if I done well. I would very much appreciate that! Thanks a lot, grazia fitg! Maarten Inc. (talk) 15:46, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I think it's the easiest to respond here, or perhaps at my Dutch talk page because I am every day present at the Dutch Wikipedia. Grazia fitg!

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dr. Jerry Griffin

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was ambiguous.

After discounting the anonymous and extremely new user votes and the probable troll vote, all the remaining voters either abstained or said "delete". However, two of those gave confusing comments that the article should be "deleted and redirected" to Jerry Griffin. Reviewing the two articles, I find them to be related. The Dr. Jerry Griffin version appears to have been created by a cut-and-paste move by the anonymous author of Jerry Griffin (who has made no additional edits to either article since).

The only verified fact in the article is the statement of authorship. The book does not have a separate Wikipedia article (and with a current Amazon sales ranking of 1,205,305 probably should not). Reviewing the criteria for inclusion of biographies, I can not convince myself that an author of a single book of this stature (and with no other claim to notability or other mitigating circumstances) meets the recommended threshold for inclusion.

I am going to call this decision as a "delete". Further, I am going to consider the Jerry Griffin version as "an associated sub-page" and delete it as well. Rossami (talk) 23:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Matthew 3:8

Matthew 3:8 is the eighth verse of the third chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. The verse occurs in where John the Baptist is berating the Pharisees and Sadducees. He has previously called them a brood of vipers and warned them of the wrath to come. In this verse he urges them to repent.

Content
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
 * Bring forth therefore
 * fruits meet for repentance:

The World English Bible translates the passage as:
 * Therefore bring forth
 * fruit worthy of repentance!

The 1881 Westcott-Hort Greek text is:
 * ποιησατε ουν
 * καρπον αξιον της μετανοιας

For a collection of other versions see BibleHub Matthew 3:8.

Analysis
Like the rest of this section this verse is mirrored in the Gospel of Luke, with this passage appearing in. The lone difference from Luke is that the word fruit is pluralized in Matthew.

This is the first appearance of a fruit metaphor that will recur in Matthew 7:16 and appears in other parts of the New Testament. As the growing of fruit is the clear and outward manifestation of a healthy tree the term is seen as a metaphor for the good works of a true Christian. The call for repentance echoes Matthew 3:2 and links into the eschatological tone of this chapter.

How these good works link to repentance is a source of much dispute. There are two different interpretations of this passage. The phrase could be read as saying that the Pharisees and Sadducees should do good works in order to be repentant. The other view is that good works are only an outgrowth of internal repentance as a fruit is the product of a healthy tree. The first interpretation is that held by Catholics and the second by Protestants. According to Clarke the modern scholarly consensus is that the wording of this verse is ambiguous and both interpretations are plausible.

This verse thus became a part of the larger debate over the Protestant doctrine of the justification of faith. Protestants adopted the fruit metaphor in a number of important works. The Augsburg Confession, for instance, states that "it is taught among us that such faith should produce good fruits and good works and that we must do all such good works as God has commanded, but we should do them for God’s sake and not place our trust in them as if thereby to merit favor before God."

Commentary from the Church Fathers
Glossa Ordinaria: If then ye would escape this wrath, Bring forth fruits meet for repentance.

Gregory the Great: Observe, he says not merely fruits of repentance, but fruits meet for repentance. For he who has never fallen into things unlawful, is of right allowed the use of all things lawful; but if any hath fallen into sin, he ought so far to put away from him even things lawful, as far as he is conscious of having used unlawful things. It is left then to such man's conscience to seek so much the greater gains of good works by repentance, the greater loss he has brought on himself by sin. The Jews who gloried in their race, would not own themselves sinners because they were Abraham's seed. Say not among yourselves we are Abraham's seed.

Drop tower

A drop tower or big drop is a type of amusement park ride incorporating a central structure or tower. Drop towers vary in height, passenger capacity, lift type, and brake type. Many are custom-made, although there are some mass-produced designs. The most widely sold drop towers have been manufactured by Intamin and S&S Sansei, however Larson International and Funtime have their own drop tower models available as well. Riders initially experience a sense of weightlessness via free fall, followed by rapid deceleration, after which a magnetic brake system brings the ride to a stop. The entire experience generally lasts less than one minute.

With most drop towers, a gondola carrying riders is lifted to the top of a large vertical structure, then released to free-fall down the tower. Magnetic brakes immediately slow the gondola as it approaches the bottom half of the tower. Some attractions have expanded on the design concept, with features such as rotating gondolas or several bounces before coming to rest. At Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, for example, Falcon's Fury takes riders to the top of a 335’ (102 m)-tall tower before an automated system slowly rotates the seats forward to face the ground, greatly enhancing the sensation of ‘falling’; the seats automatically return to their normal, forward-facing position just before the end of the ride.

Most drop towers require child riders to meet a minimum height; limits vary widely depending upon the nature of the tower, with a 30 ft tower for smaller children at least 95 cm tall, and a 120 ft tower for children at least 130 cm tall.

Drop tower designs
Mass-produced tower rides include:
 * Double shot (air-powered blast up twice)
 * Space shot (air-powered blast up)
 * Super shot (drop down ride slowed by magnetic or air-power)
 * Turbo drop (drop down ride slowed by air-power)

Other notable examples

 * Big Shot on the top of The Strat reaching 1081 ft was the highest situated drop tower ride in the world, with a drop of 160 ft to a base 921 ft above ground level
 * Space Probe located at Wonderland Sydney in Australia
 * Apocalypse at Drayton Manor
 * Detonator: Bombs Away at Thorpe Park
 * Ice Blast at Pleasure Beach Blackpool
 * AtmosFEAR at Morey's Piers, Wildwood, New Jersey
 * The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at multiple Disney parks worldwide.
 * Acrophobia at Six Flags Over Georgia
 * Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout! at Disney California Adventure Park
 * Giant Drop at Six Flags Great America

Injuries and accidents

 * On August 22, 1999, 12-year-old Joshua Smurphat fell to his death on Drop Zone: Stunt Tower (Drop Tower) at Paramount's Great America (California's Great America) after slipping from the ride's restraints, which were still locked at the end of the ride.
 * On June 21, 2007 (park operating as Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom), a 13-year-old girl from Louisville, Kentucky had both feet cut off above the ankle when one of the ride's cables snapped during operation. Following the incident, all Intamin towers were temporarily closed and the Carowinds model was found to have stretched cables.
 * On February 24, 2012, 14-year-old Gabriella Yukari Nichimura died in an accident at Hopi Hari, Vinhedo, São Paulo State, Brazil. She fell from the drop tower ride "La Tour Eiffel" suffering cranial trauma and died on the way to the hospital. Initial investigations suggested the possibility of mechanical failure in the restraint latch.
 * On the evening of January 3, 2018, 8 persons (five females and three males aged 12 to 18, including Danica Villas) were injured suffering "cervical spasms" after  Fun Drop Tower Ride at the amusement park Circle of Fun in Quezon Memorial Circle suddenly dropped.
 * On the evening of September 5, 2021, 6-year-old Wongel Estifanos died on the Haunted Mine Drop ride after being separated from her seat and falling 110 feet to her death. It has been determined that the girl was actually sitting on top of her seatbelt rather than the seatbelt being tight on her lap. A forensic pathologist identified the cause of death as blunt-force trauma. The official report by the Colorado Division of Oil and Public Safety blamed a lack of procedures and inadequate training of two ride operators to ensure that Estifanos was properly buckled in. Before the accident, the ride had had four annual safety inspections per Colorado Amusement Rides and Devices Regulations (7 CCR 1101-12) and was certified to have corrected any issues. Following the incident the park temporarily closed.  Colorado Senate Bill 03-253 allows parents to release their minor’s rights to sue for negligence.
 * On the evening of March 24, 2022, 14-year-old Tyre Sampson from Missouri fell to his death from the world's tallest drop tower ride, the Orlando FreeFall drop tower at ICON Park in Florida. The brand new attraction had been open for only three months at the time of the accident. On April 18, 2022, it was discovered that the safety sensors of two seats were intentionally modified to generate a "go" signal for larger and therefore unsafe harness-to-seat gaps, presumably to accommodate larger riders, a condition that ultimately led to Tyre's death, since he slipped through that gap toward the end of the drop when the ride slowed down. This is only one major factor among others that may have caused the tragedy, including the fact that Tyre weighed 320 pounds (144 kg) and the ride manual stipulates a weight limit of 287 pounds (130 kg). On October 6, 2022, it was announced that the Orlando Free Fall tower would be dismantled. The owner plans to have the demolition finished by the anniversary of the victim’s death.
 * On September 5, 2022, a drop tower in India failed to slow down then crashed to ground, injuring 16.

Article move
Note that Observations of Japanese Soldier in Chinese front has been moved to Nakamura Diary. A couple of us are working to improve the content of this article to make parts suitable for usage in other articles...as well as establishing a high enough standard for it to stand alone. Part of that process was creating a less cumbersome title.

Thank you for adopting this user's contributions and heading them off from the VfD page. Yes, its is a struggle keeping up with his contributions and shaping up the english, but the content is good as is the intention.

Well, I stumbled upon the works of our "friends", too... looks like there is a lot to clean up, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't be better to translate the stuff from Japanese myself... My Japanese is not that good but at least I can trust my english.

Salvage
Pages such as are quite salvageable (I've just come across your November 2005 nomination of these at AfD). The editor(s) responsible are prolific contributors here. I have made a point of collecting all I can of this material at User:Charles Matthews/Imperial Japan. Much better dealt with by copy edit, merge and redirect. I'd appreciate it if you'd just let me know of any such pages you find in future. They are quite characteristic, and are not machine translation (I found these by googling some signature typos). Charles Matthews 19:55, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * British diplomatic peace proposes also political struggle between Toho Kai and Kodoha groups in 1942
 * British diplomatic action and political movements in Japan during 1942
 * Thanks for your note. The problem with these pages was that a couple of the versions were genuinely unusable - as if someone had machine-translated them into Spanish and back again. The coherent versions had their own problems: a) being unsourced and b) revealed as cut&paste (ie copyright violations - automatic grounds for deletion) when I found the sources. The editor didn't help by just reinstating identical copies under increasingly lumpy titles instead of following guidelines by rewriting.
 * Best move, then, would be to go to those sources and use them more appropriately. They are:

 * Forgotten Campaign: The Dutch East Indies Campaign 1941-1942 website.
 * Kogun: the Japanese Army in the Pacific War, Saburo Hayashi, in collaboration with Alvin D. Coox. First published in Tokyo, 1951, as Taiheiyo senso rikusen gaishi. Reprint of the ed. published by Marine Corps Association, Quantico, Va. This can be found at www.tecom.usmc.mil/utm/kogun.txt. If this gives an 'access denied' error, there's currently a Google cache here but I don't know for how long. Tearlach 20:35, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, I know that copyvios do occur with this material. That obviously rules out keeping those pages. I think machine translation doesn't explain the nature of the texts (and I have spent many hours on them). Charles Matthews 21:37, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

 * It's a mystery, then. I just found the version in question: . It could probably have been cleaned up with a lot of work, but I proposed it for deletion because a coherent version already existed. Tearlach 13:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I really don't like treating it as a bad joke. It's the make 'fun of foreigners' riff for anglophones, which has run long enough AFAIC. I can read it without problem. Charles Matthews 14:52, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with the first part; but I didn't put it there.

Sourcing and verification
The above discussion does, by the way, touch on a wider problem. Currently, following the John Seigenthaler affair, there's a blitz on sourcing.

Skimming down the list of articles at User:Charles Matthews/Imperial Japan, I think they need more than cleanup. Very few of them cite any sources. How do we know any of it is a) factually correct and b) unbiased even if the basic facts are correct? Copyright violation is also an issue.

For example, check out Organization of Japanese Intelligence Secret Services. A deal of that comes verbatim from here and here at vikingphoenix.com, which looks to me like a partisan source with an anti-Japanese agenda (see and ).

I can see from Articles for deletion/Articles on Imperial Japan I'm not the only person to raise this issue. At the very least, these articles need an tag. Tearlach 19:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, I'm not for an ultra-sceptical approach, and never have been. There are plenty of weaknesses there. There are things which (in my opinion) are probably lifted from communist propaganda that circulated at the time. There are comparisons with Nazi Germany that I routinely cut out. The worst single point is probably the credence given to the Tanaka Memorial; which our page says is forged. So I always cut any reference to that. There are uncritical uses of some of the anti-Hirohito stories. There are also some worst-construction interpretations (the story about the Reuters agent who jumped out of the window, for example). Looking at the sources question first: I don't think there is a problem with fabrication - this is all sourced from somewhere, that is. As such, it is in the same state as much of the rest of WP. Yes, the sources are uncritically used. But when I pick up a book about this, for example one by Richard Storry I have to hand (Japan and the Decline of the West in Asia 1894-1943), I find plenty to corroborate what is up here. That is, on specific points it is perhaps a bit wrong, but taken as a whole (and the process of creating a bunch of pages has perhaps mostly run its course) it really is something to work with.

 * Therefore I much prefer the 'classical' WP attitude: clean it up, look to ensure NPOV, check it out. There is intense dislike (wiki-en mailing list discussion) of the current 'culture' at AfD. The pages that have been deleted there, fortunately, have mostly deserved it (semi-ranting stuff about fascism, not particularly based in fact). AfD is supposed to operate within policy. Bad English is nothing to do with policy. Using AfD as a clean-up route is wrong, too. Posting an AfD notice prevents a page being moved to a bettet title, or partially merged, which is often the obvious step.

 * I feel strongly that WP has been built on: good stubs, clean-up, allowing articles time to improve. That includes:'placeholder text', which clearly this often is; scaffolding (i.e. keeping things that promote new pages once they are wikified); and allowing time for the cavalry (academic folk) to arrive. I am also a card-carrying 'systemic bias' person, and will always argue that cutting stuff because the sources are less accessible to check impoverishes the encyclopedia. Charles Matthews 20:15, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, I wouldn't disagree with that, as the traceable sources do check out. I'm just a little jittery that a major section of Wikipedia's historical coverage all comes, unreferenced, from a single anonymous source via a Chinese-whispers transmission. Cite sources is explicit that sources should be known, and that contested unsourced material can, ultimately, be removed.
 * Also, one shouldn't underestimate the potential for garbling. For instance, cleanup on the Double Leaf Society led to an article saying that it comprised officers with remaining samurai links, and that the Kodaha and Toseiha factions derived from a split in it. But as I said in Talk:Double Leaf Society, tracking down the source (which appears to be a well-researched piece) finds that it said the Double Leaf Society comprised radicals who were taking the place of old-style samurai officers, and that the two factions were within the army as a whole, not the Double Leaf Society. Tearlach 14:22, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh dear, I've posted one article for AfD. It's Development_of_Japanese_Nationalists_Ideology_since_Meiji_Times. The reason is that it seemed to be almost exactly the same as Japanese nationalist thinking in the Meiji era.

Untitled
Have removed the following section, but leave it here as per guidelines. Reason for removal - there is already a Sesame Street page, this is therefor irrelevant. Would STRONGLY suggest the section entitled "U.S. Television" needs its own page, as this page comes across as UScentric thereby breaking the NPOV rule.

Sesame Street
North American children's television took a dramatic turn in 1969 with the creation of the visionary PBS program Sesame Street. Still in production over thirty years later, Sesame Street is an educational program produced by the Sesame Workshop and featuring Jim Henson's Muppets. The show blends human and puppet characters, animation, song and dance, and colorful production numbers with basic educational material oriented for children anywhere from toddler to six. It is on this television show that many children of the world are first exposed to things like basic math and language skills, as well as social skills and multiculturality. The effect of Sesame Street was so powerful that within a few years, children's television was universally considered to have an educational mandate.

Though the perceived educational mandate continues to be promoted and debated, and many shows (particularly those on public television) are specifically designed to be educational, children's programming has moved back toward pure entertainment over time. Efforts by state and federal government to regulate children television into being exclusively educational have been evaded or defeated.

 * This may be redundant with the text on the Sesame Street page, but now this article is woefully incomplete.

Violence, and language, in children's programming
With recent encounters of "cartoons" on television I find myself picking out negative language and acts of violence.

a pagemove to Children's television programming ?
Not all Children's television programmes are series. Some are television movies. Perhaps a pagemove to Children's television programming would be better. -- PFHLai 08:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

this site should have a list of web sites that kids can get on too

Cleanup
This article is a mess. Apparently it was voted to keep it, but it needs serious work.Scottanon (talk) 17:04, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, it need a lot of work. I've just seen under Propaganda for children "Tomorrow's Pioneers(Arabic: رواد الغد; also The Pioneers of Tomorrow) is a children's program, broadcast since 13 April 2007 on the official Hamas television station in the Gaza Strip, Al-Aqsa TV (Arabic: مرئية الأقصى قناة الأقصى). The program deals with may life aspects Palestinian children face under the Israeli attacks killing many civilians and innocent children, this way setting them up to be the future fighters of Hamas." It not good English but I do not know what they are saying or I'd fix it.--Lord Don-Jam (talk) 16:50, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
