About your vote on the QRVS

 * (The article in question is Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:General Eisenhower/QRVS)--Alvin-cs ✉ 20:28, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey Alvin, this is nothing against you please assume good faith, your vote comment doesn't seem very appropriate to me (I bolded the part I feel could be reworded a little)

 * Duplicate of existing effort. The page looks like result of teenager-like group/gang forming tendency. Sorry kids, you cant have your own page (without justufucation), wikipedia is not anarchy (well, neither democracy)

The first part is ok...put calling all members of the QRVS teenagers (or being like teenagers) could start an issue with people (you see I'm not a teenager, and it kind of struck a nerve with me, only kind of). I would be more careful in the future. Just a quick thought. Hope you have a nice day Aeon 19:08, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * As I think about it now... yes, you are right, it may sound insulting. Oh no, it sounds isulting. After all I do not know anything about these people. I could not resist to mention the teen way QRVS represents itself; it is the style of websites that serve as group identification (focusing on on words like member, team, leader and displaing some form of ranking near participants name) rather than for activity declared. This makes me I belive (and I wanted to point at) QRVS would not be as effective/active as Counter-Vandalism Unit at best and propably not functional.

 * I would reword the part to not use words kids and teenager-like, but then your comment would not make any sence. I do want to see people's personal statements to be removed, especially when they are on voting page and especially when they are words of criticism. So I am leaving it there, unless you would agree to delete your comment after my corerction is done. --Alvin-cs ✉ 20:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Sounds cool to me I have deleted my comment. lol yep thanks just tring to save you an issue or two. Aeon 03:58, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Ehm, the debate has closed before I get to correct my statement. As one could see from my contributions, I am far from being a daily contributor. Yes, I should have known the delay for this kind of deletion and guess the closing time. In future I suggest that cases like mine should one should first delete the offending statement.--Alvin-cs ✉ 20:45, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Clement A. Evans

Brigadier-General Clement Anselm Evans (February 25, 1833 – July 2, 1911) was a senior officer of the Confederate States Army who commanded infantry in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War. Afterwards, he edited a 12-volume work on Confederate military history, so named, in 1899.

Early life and education
Clement Anselm Evans was born in Stewart County, Georgia. In 1854 Evans married Mary Allen "Allie" Walton whose marriage brought eight children, three of whom died in infancy. He studied at the Augusta Law School in Augusta, Georgia, and was admitted to the bar at the age of 18. By the age of 21, he was a county judge, and a state senator at the age of 25. With the election of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in 1860, Evans organized a company of militia.

American Civil War
Evans was commissioned as major of the 31st Georgia Infantry on November 19, 1861, and was promoted to colonel on May 13, 1862, fighting in the Seven Days Battles, Second Manassas, and Antietam. He had temporary command of Alexander Lawton's Georgia brigade from September until November 1862, seeing additional action at Fredericksburg. During the Gettysburg Campaign and the 1864 fighting at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, Evans again commanded the 31st Georgia while John Brown Gordon commanded the brigade.

Evans was promoted to brigadier general in May 1864 (replacing Gordon who ascended to division command) and was wounded at Monocacy. He commanded Gordon's Division, Second Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, from Petersburg to Appomattox. Evans survived five wounds during the war.

Later life and legacy
After the war ended, he became an influential Methodist minister, advancing the “holiness movement,” a controversial doctrine that eventually split the denomination. He pastored churches in the Atlanta area, some with memberships as large as 1,000, until his retirement in 1892. Three years later, Evans authored the Military History of Georgia, heavily based upon his Civil War memoirs. He then edited and co-wrote the Confederate Military History, a 12-volume compendium, first published in 1899. Finally, he co-authored the four-volume Cyclopedia of Georgia. Regarding the war, Evans said:

"If we cannot justify the South in the act of Secession, we will go down in History solely as a brave, impulsive but rash people who attempted in an illegal manner to overthrow the Union of our Country."

Evans was very active in establishing and administering fraternal veterans organizations following the war. He helped organize the Confederate Survivors Association (a regional group based in Augusta, Georgia) in 1878 and served as its first president. He was a founder of the first national Confederate veterans group, the United Confederate Veterans, in 1889 and commander of the UCV's Georgia division for 12 years.

Evans died in Atlanta on July 2, 1911: his body lay in state in the central rotunda of the capitol building while the state legislature adjourned for a day to attend his funeral. He was buried in Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery, just a few feet away from the grave of John Gordon. Evans County, Georgia (established November 3, 1914) is named after him.

Zaslavskii map

The Zaslavskii map is a discrete-time dynamical system introduced by George M. Zaslavsky. It is an example of a dynamical system that exhibits chaotic behavior. The Zaslavskii map takes a point ($$x_n,y_n$$) in the plane and maps it to a new point:

 * $$x_{n+1}=[x_n+\nu(1+\mu y_n)+\epsilon\nu\mu\cos(2\pi x_n)]\, (\textrm{mod}\,1)$$
 * $$y_{n+1}=e^{-r}(y_n+\epsilon\cos(2\pi x_n))\,$$

and
 * $$\mu = \frac{1-e^{-r}}{r}$$

where mod is the modulo operator with real arguments. The map depends on four constants ν, μ, ε and r. Russel (1980) gives a Hausdorff dimension of 1.39 but Grassberger (1983) questions this value based on their difficulties measuring the correlation dimension.

USS Tippecanoe (AO-21)

USS Tippecanoe (AO-21) was a Patoka-class oiler Replenishment oiler of the United States Navy.

Construction and commissioning
Tippecanoe was laid down on 1 October 1919 at Newport News, Virginia, by the Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Co.; launched on 5 June 1920; delivered to the United States Shipping Board late that year; and acquired by the Navy at the Mare Island Navy Yard on 6 March 1922.

Service history
Tippecanoe remained inactive at Mare Island for almost two decades before she was finally placed in commission on 6 March 1940. The oiler was assigned to Squadron 8, Base Force Train, and operated between the west coast and the Hawaiian Islands for the next two years. Her most frequent ports of call were Pearl Harbor, San Pedro, San Francisco, San Diego, and Seattle.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, fortune ordained that Tippecanoe be safe in San Francisco. During the first three months of the war, the oiler steamed up and down the west coast between San Diego, San Pedro, San Francisco, and Seattle. She did not leave the west coast until 3 February when she headed back to Hawaii. She entered Pearl Harbor on the 17th and lay over there until 3 March when she headed for the South Pacific. After a brief stop at Pago Pago, Samoa, the ship put to sea on 15 March and headed to an area north of New Caledonia to fuel Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher's Task Force 17 (TF17). She returned to the vicinity of Samoa on 26 March, visited Tongatapu on 6 April, and put into Noumea, New Caledonia, on the 26th.

On 1 May, the oiler put to sea to rendezvous with TF 17 once more. She made contact with Rear Admiral Aubrey W. Fitch's task unit—built around USS Lexington (CV-2)—and, on the 2nd and 3rd, fueled the venerable carrier and her supporting ships. Drained bone dry, Tippecanoe then headed for Efate where she arrived on 4 May, the day Rear Admiral Fletcher's USS Yorktown (CV-5) airmen struck the Japanese seaplane base at Tulagi to open the preliminaries of the historic action that stopped Japan's southward advance. During the Battle of the Coral Sea itself, Tippecanoe remained in the haven at Efate. On 8 May, she got underway and, for a time, joined Vice Admiral William F. Halsey's recently arrived TF 16—built around carriers USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Hornet (CV-8). She stopped at Noumea on 11 May and then continued on to Samoa, reaching Tutuila on 24 May. Four days later, she put to sea to return to Hawaii and entered Pearl Harbor on the 30th. On 1 July, she left Oahu to conduct nearly a month of operations with TF 18 before returning on the 26th.

Tippecanoe departed Pearl Harbor on 9 August 1942 and reached Alaskan waters on the 15th to begin three years in the frigid northern latitudes of the Pacific. For the remainder of the war, she steamed the resupply circuit between such ports as Kodiak, Dutch Harbor, Adak, Akutan, Cold Bay, and Attu and made periodic voyages south to Seattle and San Francisco to replenish. In May 1943, she supported the invasion of Attu, but from a safe distance in port at Adak. By the latter part of the summer, the Aleutians had been secured, and her travels among the American bases in the area became routine.

On 15 August 1945, when hostilities in the Pacific ceased, Tippecanoe was en route from Seattle to Dutch Harbor. After visits to Adak and Attu during the latter half of the month, the oiler headed for Japan for several months of duty supporting the occupation forces. She arrived at Ominato on 8 September and, after a month there, moved on to Tokyo. During her two remaining months in Japan, she visited Aomori, Yokohama, and Yokosuka. She departed Yokosuka on 28 November to return to the United States and entered San Francisco on 18 December. On 6 March 1946, Tippecanoe was decommissioned at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Her disposal was authorized on 19 March, and her name was struck from the Navy List on 12 April. She was transferred to the Maritime Commission on 7 October and was sold to the National Metal & Steel Co. on 20 November 1946.

Leeuwenhoek (crater)

Leeuwenhoek is a lunar impact crater that lies in the Moon's southern hemisphere, on the far side from the Earth. It is located to the east of the crater Birkeland and the unusual double crater Van de Graaff. To the northeast of Leeuwenhoek is Orlov and to the south is the large walled plain Leibnitz. It is named after Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.

The outer rim of Leeuwenhoek is worn and eroded, forming an irregular mountainous ring about the relatively level interior floor. The inner wall is wider along the western and southern sides, offsetting the floor to the northeast. At the midpoint of the interior is a central peak formation. There are a pair of small craterlets on the floor and several tiny craters. Leeuwenhoek partly overlaps the satellite crater Leeuwenhoek E to the northeast.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Leeuwenhoek.

Virgil (wrestler)

Michael Charles Jones (April 7, 1951 – February 28, 2024), better known by his ring name Virgil, was an American professional wrestler and actor. He is best known for his tenures in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

In his four-year tenure in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he wrestled with the ring names Vincent, Curly Bill, Shane, Soul Train Jones, and Mr. Jones, primarily as a member of the nWo. After retiring, he became well known on social media as the subject of viral memes.

Early life
Michael Jones was born in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania on April 7, 1951, to Warren Jones Sr. and Elizabeth Jones. He had two older brothers, Warren Jr. and Donald, and a sister, Toni.

Jones attended Virginia Union University, and played as a defensive back for the college football team. He wrestled as an amateur.

Jones later worked at his uncle’s loading and moving company and began entering bodybuilding competitions. After a chance meeting with Tony Atlas in a Pittsburgh gym, Atlas recommended Jones to pro wrestling in 1985. In the same year, he began training with Afa of the Wild Samoans.

Early Career (1985–1987)
Jones started wrestling professionally as Soul Train Jones in the Championship Wrestling Association based in Memphis, Tennessee in 1985. There, he feuded with Chick Donovan and Big Bubba. On January 4, 1987, he defeated Big Bubba for the AWA International Heavyweight Championship. On April 20, he was defeated by Donovan, ending his reign at 106 days. During this reign, he also participated in a tournament for the vacant AWA Southern Heavyweight Championship, defeating Tommy Rich, The Hunter, and Goliath on his way to the final, where he was defeated by Austin Idol. He would also unsuccessfully challenge Nick Bockwinkel for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship. Alongside Rocky Johnson, he later held the AWA Southern Tag Team Championship for 28 days, until they were defeated by Donovan and Jack Hart.

Ted DiBiase's bodyguard (1987–1991)
After moving to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), he first appeared wrestling under the name Lucius Brown in 1986. His first WWF match was losing to "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff in Salisbury, Maryland on September 17, 1986.

Jones then went on to debut in the summer of 1987 as Virgil, the bodyguard for "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. Virgil carried DiBiase's money that he liked to flaunt and was the one who got beaten up while DiBiase escaped the ring.

Virgil played a significant secondary role in the WWF main event storylines throughout 1988; including some of the biggest moments in WWF History; assisting Ted DiBiase and Andre The Giant during the infamous televised “Main Event” special on NBC where Hulk Hogan lost the World Heavyweight Championship after nearly 5 years as the champion, at the ensuing Wrestlemania IV tournament, and in the main event of the inaugural Summerslam. At Summerslam 1988, Virgil was in the corner of Andre The Giant and Ted DiBiase as the Mega Bucks against Hulk Hogan, champion Randy Savage, and Miss Elizabeth as the Mega Powers.

Throughout 1989-1991, Virgil would also occasionally wrestle against DiBiase's rivals as a gatekeeper; if DiBiase’s opponents could defeat Virgil they would finally be granted a match with the Million Dollar Man.

Virgil was humiliated by DiBiase consistently and eventually turned on him, hitting him with his own Million Dollar Title belt at the Royal Rumble in January 1991, making him a fan favorite. After befriending and training with Roddy Piper, he defeated DiBiase by count-out at WrestleMania VII and pinned him for Ted DiBiase’s unsanctioned Million Dollar Championship on August 26, 1991, at SummerSlam. He lost the Million Dollar Championship Belt back to DiBiase in November of 1991 as a result of outside interference by the Repo Man. At Survivor Series 1991, Virgil was on Roddy Piper’s team with Bret Hart and the British Bulldog losing against Ric Flair, Ted DiBiase, The Warlord, and the Mountie. Virgil was Disqualified with Hart and Piper after being counted out of the ring during a brawl with DiBiase and the Mountie at the end of the match, losing to Ric Flair who was still in the ring. At This Tuesday in Texas, Repo Man and DiBiase defeated Virgil and Tito Santana.

Various storylines and departure (1992–1994, 1995)
After this Tuesday in Texas, Virgil then departed on a career as a singles wrestler and was famous for wearing unusual red candy-striped tights. He entered the 1992 Royal Rumble as entrant number 23 and was eliminated by Hacksaw Jim Duggan; lasting 20 minutes and 45 seconds. On the March 22nd edition of Wrestling Challenge, Sid Justice attacked Virgil and broke his nose after Virgil appeared with other wrestlers to stop Sid Justice from beating up David Wolfe after their match. Virgil was forced to wear a protective face mask to protect his nose while wrestling for a few months after the injury. At WrestleMania VIII, Virgil teamed with Big Boss Man, Sgt. Slaughter, and Jim Duggan to defeat The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags), Repo Man, and The Mountie. Virgil pinned Knobbs following a miscommunication from the opponents team. He also appeared in a losing match against Nailz at SummerSlam and also lost to Yokozuna at Survivor Series. He did receive a shot at Bret Hart's WWF World Heavyweight Championship on the November 21, 1992 episode of WWF Superstars. After a valiant effort, Virgil submitted to Hart's Sharpshooter. After the match, the two shook hands out of respect.

Virgil began 1993 by appearing at the January Royal Rumble as entrant number 6 and was eliminated by the Berserker after lasting 17 minutes and eight seconds. Afterward, Virgil’s time in the spotlight began to fade in 1993 but he remained in the undercard of the WWF, losing a match to Johnny Polo in November a match in Ontario Canada.

Virgil's last appearance on a WWF PPV event was the Royal Rumble, where he was a late substitute for Kamala. He entered the rumble as number 10 but was eliminated by Diesel in 32 seconds. Virgil’s last notable feud was with a returning Nikolai Volkoff in the summer of 1994. Volkoff was down on his luck and had just been “bought” by Ted DiBiase, forcing Volkoff to wear a ¢ symbol on his tights. Virgil tried to persuade Volkoff this was a mistake and tried to inform him of DiBiase’s abusive history. Volkoff refused and defeated Virgil on the July 24 episode of WWF Superstars. This loss was a significant moment for the WWF in 1994, as the event kicked off the formation of Ted DiBiase’s Million Dollar Corporation stable of wrestlers who would go on to main event Wrestlemania XI. This match was Virgil’s last television appearance in the WWF and he left in August 1994.

Virgil did return briefly to the WWF in May and June of 1995 in matches against Jean-Pierre LaFitte in Western Canada and the US Midwest.

National Wrestling Conference (1995)
On August 25, 1995, Virgil competed in the National Wrestling Conference in the supercard event "Night of Champions". The match aroused controversy when Virgil's opponent, The Thug, came out to the ring dressed in a KKK hood. The Thug was accompanied by another man dressed in a full KKK outfit who revealed himself as Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Both men proceeded to attack Virgil with Neidhart rolling the KKK robe into a noose and hanging Virgil on the outside ropes. The 2-on-1 assault finally ended when the building's security dragged Neidhart to the back and Virgil was carried away on a stretcher.

New World Order (1996–1999)
Following two years on the independent scene, he appeared in WCW as Vincent in 1996 as the 5th member of the original nWo along with Ted DiBiase. He was given the role of "Head of Security" for the nWo. Vincent, like his role as Virgil in the WWF, would often again take the brunt of the beatings from WCW wrestlers as other nWo members scurried away.

As Vincent, Jones had minor success when first arriving in WCW, having a short stint of undefeated matches on WCW Saturday Night. He also often was the valet for nWo members; most notably alongside Ted DiBiase during Hollywood Hogan’s title matches.

After Ted DiBiase quit the nWo, Vincent began accompanying Scott Norton, Scott Steiner, Konnan, and Brian Adams to the ring.

Vincent's first PPV match with WCW was at World War 3 1997 in the battle Royal, where he made it to the final eight before being eliminated by the Giant with assistance from DDP. He also wrestled at Starrcade 1997, when he teamed with Scott Norton and Randy Savage to defeat the Steiner Brothers and Ray Traylor.

In 1998 the nWo split; and Vincent remained loyal to the original black and white faction led by Hollywood Hulk Hogan which was now also being called “nWo Hollywood”. He assisted the faction in their feuds with the nWo Wolfpack and Ultimate Warrior’s “OWN”, the One Warrior Nation stable. He frequently was tag teaming with new nWo Hollywood recruit Stevie Ray and accompanied him to the ring for most of his matches.

In November 1998, he wrestled again in the Battle Royal match at World War 3 on behalf of the nWo Hollywood group.

After Starrcade 1998, the nWo Hollywood and Wolfpac factions reunited and formed two squads, Wolfpac or nWo Red & Black; also known as nWo Elite and Vincent was demoted to be a part of the nWo Black & White; known also as the nWo “B-Team” with The Giant, Brian Adams, Curt Hennig, Horace Hogan, Scott Norton, and Stevie Ray. The nWo B-Team members began competing over who would be the leader of the squad. On the February 13, 1999 WCW Saturday night before his match with Johnny Swinger; Vincent asked for a microphone and changed his name to Vince and began another winning streak. Vince had a new cocky attitude and tried to impress Hollywood Hulk Hogan for control of nWo B-Team. Vince began feuding with his main rival Stevie Ray over who would be the leader of the Black & White (B-Team) nWo but eventually lost the Harlem Street Fight at the 1999 WCW Uncensored PPV that made Stevie Ray the de-facto leader. The issue of who was leader of nWo B-team persisted and on April 5, 1999 a 4 man battle royale was held on WCW Nitro to finally determine who would be the leader. Vince was eliminated first by Bryan Adams and Stevie Ray won again. Vince ended up remaining with the nWo B-Team as the last remaining member of the original nWo. Over the course of 1999 both squads of the nWo shrunk as one member after another slowly left overtime ironically leaving only Vince as the sole member and de facto last leader of the original nWo before the faction dissolved for good in October 1999. He never joined the nWo again when it came back as nWo 2000 (also known as nWo silver and black), or briefly in WWE.

West Texas Rednecks, Powers That Be, Mr. Jones and end of WCW (1999–2000)
In October 1999 after the nWo dissolved, Jones changed his name to Curly Bill and joined the West Texas Rednecks with Curt Hennig, Barry Wyndham, Kendal Wyndham, and Bobby Duncum Jr.

Vince Russo started the “Powers That Be” and in December 1999 changed Jones’s name to Shane and made him a bodyguard character once again for himself and the Harris Brothers (known briefly as Creative Control).

In mid 2000 Jones became Mr. Jones; the manager for Ernest "The Cat" Miller, but he was soon replaced by a valet named Ms. Jones. This was Jones' final character in WCW and he wrestled under his real name, Mike Jones, before departing WCW in late 2000 and retiring from pro wrestling. Only a few months after, WCW went out of business and was bought by WWF.

Retirement (2000–2020)
Jones retired from active competition in 2000. He began making appearances again in 2006.

In April 2006, Jones toured Asia for the Armed Forces Entertainment. He wrestled as Vincent of the nWo for U.S. troops in Korea, Tokyo, Guam and Honolulu, Hawaii.

In 2016, he appeared on the "Old School" and the "Addicted to the Shindig" episodes of The Edge and Christian Show on the WWE Network.

In an interview with ESPN.com in 2016, DiBiase revealed that he and Jones had a falling out over Jones booking independent wrestling shows for the two without DiBiase's knowledge, which led to DiBiase unknowingly no-showing the events. DiBiase had to apologize to the promotions for the unintentional no-shows and had to stress that Jones does not represent him for bookings.

Return to WWE (2010)
On the May 17, 2010 episode of Raw from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Jones returned to WWE reprising his Virgil bodyguard character, this time with Ted DiBiase Jr. He carried out all of his old actions, such as holding the ropes open for DiBiase and bringing him a microphone when asked. On the June 14 episode of Raw, Virgil and DiBiase were in a tag team match against Big Show and Raw guest host Mark Feuerstein. After Virgil got pinned and lost the match, DiBiase stuffed a $100 bill in Virgil's mouth and walked out on him. The following week, DiBiase first apologized to Virgil, but then fired him and replaced him with Maryse.

Preston City Wrestling, Joey Janella’s Spring Break and Talk'N ShopAMania 2 (2017–2020)
On December 1, 2017, he wrestled a match for Preston City Wrestling (PCW) at Joey Janela's Big Top Adventure, held at the Blackpool Tower Circus.

On April 5, 2019, Virgil, dressed as the character Starman from NES Pro Wrestling, appeared at Joey Janela's Spring Break 3, where he defeated Ethan Page.

In late 2020, Virgil made a cameo in the ball for a ball match at Talk'N ShopAMania 2, hosted by the Good Brothers.

All Elite Wrestling (2019–2020)
From 2019 to 2020, Jones, under his old ring name of Soul Train Jones, began making recurring appearances for All Elite Wrestling (AEW), as an ally of Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle. On the November 6, 2019 episode of Dynamite, he appeared in a video package that mocked an earlier promo from Cody Rhodes (whom Jericho was feuding with at the time). The promo saw Jones compare Jericho's talents to Olive Garden breadsticks as "unlimited" and it received critical praise from fans. On the November 27 episode of Dynamite, Jones started off the show by introducing Jericho for Chris Jericho's Thanksgiving Thank You Celebration for Le Champion, which was ultimately interrupted by SoCal Uncensored. On the April 29, 2020 episode of Dynamite, Jones made a cameo during the Inner Circle's Bubbly Bunch segment, appearing in the Manitoba Melee.

Other media
In 2014, Jones appeared in the Jason Michael Brescia film, Bridge and Tunnel as Kony, a neighborhood barfly. Jones was cast in the film after he met actor-producer Joe Murphy while selling autographs at Grand Central Station. In 2017, he reprised the role in Brescia's follow-up film, (Romance) in the Digital Age.

Pop culture

Post-fame, Jones has been attending fan conventions and has been seen at subway stations selling autographs. As a result, since 2012, there have been "Lonely Virgil" memes created where fans posted pictures of him at conventions with nobody lining up. Lonely Virgil was originally created by Sam Roberts of the Opie and Anthony radio show.

In 2015, a documentary featuring Jones was released titled The Legend of Virgil & His Traveling Merchandise Table, which discusses his wrestling career and the recent upsurge of social media discussions surrounding him.

Urban legends
Since the 80s there has been an urban legend inside the pro wrestling industry that Jones’s character Virgil was named after Dusty Rhodes (real name Virgil Riley Runnels Jr.) as an inside joke rumored to be Bobby Heenan’s idea. This was never confirmed and is in constant dispute by WWE insider Bruce Prichard, who was on the writing team in 1987 and denies the rumor. Joel Watts came up with the name and said it was a coincidence. Despite the gossip never being confirmed as true, the hearsay never went away and as result of the rumor WCW named Jones’ WCW bodyguard characters after Vince and Shane McMahon as an inside joke.

Personal life and death
Jones had a degree in mathematics from the University of Virginia and became a high school math teacher in Pittsburgh after retiring from full time in ring competition in 2000. Since 2018, Jones had resided in Marianna, Pennsylvania.

On April 16, 2022, Jones revealed that he had previously suffered two strokes and had been diagnosed with dementia. A month later, he said he was diagnosed with stage two colon cancer. He was diagnosed with two additional strokes on February 23, 2024, and died five days later at Canonsburg Hospital of complications from the strokes and dementia. He was 72 years old.

Age confusion
Jones had multiple conflicting dates of birth up until his death. He was thought to be 61 years old by most media  upon his death, but his family and friends revealed his actual age as 72.

Talk:Dispensation of the fulness of times

Church of Christ
The use of the term Church of Christ in relation to the Mormons is entirely misleading. Church of Christ more generally refers to a non-denominational group of Christian churches unconnected to the Mormons.

 * The Church of Christ was the title of the first Mormon church organized in 1830. See Church of Christ (Mormonism). CO GDEN  June 28, 2005 21:30 (UTC)

Misspelled?
Isn't this article title misspelled? According to my dictionary, "fulness" is spelled with two l's. i.e. "fullness". "Fulness" is an acceptable alternative, but it looks awkward to me. Anyone else? — Frecklefoot | Talk June 28, 2005 16:42 (UTC)

 * The article is indeed spelled archaically. The "fulness" spelling was taken from the spelling in the King James Version, which is also the way it is spelled in Mormon scripture. I think that keeping the archaic spelling, with a redirect, might be a good idea, because the phrase's KJV translation is equally archaic as its spelling. Using modern English, a much better translation of the phrase would be something like "the program for the fulfillment of the ages." CO GDEN  June 28, 2005 21:30 (UTC)

Mormon usage correction
Don't Mormons believe that the restoration of their church was *part of* the dispensation of the fulness of times? The article states it is the era *after which* the church was restored. Probably more accurate to say the era *in which...*, or the era *that began when...*, the church was believed to have been restored, etc.

Talk:Insula

Disambiguation or redirect
I still think that my edit regarding making this page redirect to insular cortex is correct, since the other pages mentioned in the disambiguation are not as relevant at all. For example, a quick google search regarding the term "Insula" shows that the results of the first three pages at least almost exclusively are regarding insular cortex and not regarding any of the other articles in the disambiguation page. Therefore I think that this should redirect to what one 99% of the time would be searching for when searching "Insula". And for the other 1%, they can go to the disambiguation page from the article regarding insular cortex.

This is a quote from Disambiguation: "Although a word, name, or phrase may refer to more than one topic, sometimes one of these topics can be identified as the term's primary topic. This is the topic to which the term should lead, serving as the title of (or a redirect to) the relevant article. [...] While Wikipedia has no single criterion for defining a primary topic, two major aspects that editors commonly consider are these: A topic is primary for a term with respect to usage if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. A topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term."Lymoz (talk) 10:34, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

From these two criteria I think it is quite clear that Insular cortex is indeed the primary topic associated with the term "Insula", and therefore the term should be a redirect to the appropriate article.
 * Propose a proper move rather than cutting and pasting. older ≠ wiser 10:15, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Undiscussed moves are allowed assuming that "There has been no discussion (especially no recent discussion) about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and it seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move." Right now you're simply disagreeing with my move because of the sake of it and not because of some argument to be made regarding Insula continuing to be a disambiguation page.Lymoz (talk) 10:34, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Cut and paste moves are never allowed. If you had properly moved the page yourself or even made technical moverequest I likely would not have even noticed. older ≠ wiser 10:57, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Insula → Insula (disambiguation) – It is fairly obvious that the primary topic for the term "Insula" is Insular cortex, according to Disambiguation, since the other pages in the current disambiguation pages do not show up at all for at least the first three pages of search results on google or any other search engine Lymoz (talk) 10:38, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * oppose no primary In ictu oculi (talk) 20:40, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * What are your arguments against "insular cortex" being the primary topic if you don't mind me asking? Lymoz (talk) 04:24, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * the "insula was" test In ictu oculi (talk) 14:56, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You are using a biased "test" towards references using Insula in past-tense, which is very rarely used when referring to Insular cortex and thus not giving it a fair shot. It would be the same as if I did the "insula is" test since it it biased towards descriptions using Insula in present-tense. Then you would almost exclusively see Insula used in regard to Insular cortex. If you simply did the "insula" test which is unbiased regarding grammatical tenses used in conjunction with the term Insula, and then ignore the books written in Latin or other languages (since this is the English WikiPedia). It practically only shows results regarding the term Insula used in reference to the Insular cortex. Lymoz (talk) 09:21, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It is not at all obvious. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 19:02, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you mind if I ask you what your arguments against "insular cortex" being the primary topic are? (I just want to have a discussion regarding the matter, and don't want to come off as aggressive or anything) Lymoz (talk) 09:21, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose. No, it isn't "obvious" at all. I'd think of the Roman city block or apartment building, for instance (and, in fact, did when I saw this nomination; very astonished when I saw that the primary topic proposal was actually something else). I suspect it entirely depends whether your interests tend towards science or not. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:08, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah I agree that it mostly depends on whether one's interests tend towards science or history/architecture. I realize my mistake and accept that this move probably is unwarranted. Lymoz (talk) 15:32, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Treaty of Aberconwy

The Treaty of Aberconwy was signed on the 10th of November 1277, and was made between King Edward I of England and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Wales. It followed Edward's invasion of Llywelyn's territories earlier that year. The treaty re-established peace between the two but also essentially guaranteed that Welsh self-rule would end upon Llywelyn's death and represented the completion of the first stage of the Conquest of Wales by Edward I.

Background
Llywelyn, wanting to cement his links to royalty more forcefully, sought to marry Eleanor de Montfort, daughter of Simon de Montfort and King Edward's cousin. They were married by proxy in 1275, but when Eleanor sailed from France to meet Llewelyn, Edward hired pirates to seize her ship; she was imprisoned at Windsor Castle.

Edward, who was newly acceded to the throne of England, viewed Llywelyn as a threat, and particularly disliked the idea of his marrying the daughter of de Montfort, who had been the biggest threat to his royal predecessor's reign. Edward also summoned Llewelyn to appear before him on several occasions, which Llywelyn refused on the grounds that he was not safe at Edward's court.

In 1276, Edward declared Llywelyn a rebel and gathered an enormous army to march against him. By the summer of 1277, Edward's forces had reached the heart of Gwynedd. Edward's men confiscated the harvest in Anglesey, which deprived Llewelyn and his men of food, forcing Llywelyn to surrender.

Treaty
The treaty was signed in November 1277. Under its terms, Llywelyn was left only with the western part of Gwynedd, though he was allowed to retain the title of Prince of Wales. Eastern Gwynedd was split between Edward and Llywelyn's brother Dafydd ap Gruffydd, who had defected to Edward. The remainder of the lands that had been tributary to Llywelyn came effectively under Edward's control.

As a result of both territorial expropriation and the submission of the ruling families, Deheubarth, Powys and mid-Wales became a mixture of directly controlled English royal land and pliant English protectorates. Edward's victory was comprehensive and it represented a major redistribution of power and territory in Wales in Edward's favour. Edward now enjoyed a degree of direct control in the native Welsh areas which no previous English king had achieved.

Consequences
In the years after the treaty, Llywelyn sought to consolidate what power he had left. He paid homage and tribute to Edward, who agreed to allow Llewelyn's marriage to go forward. In 1278, Llywelyn and Eleanor de Montfort were married in Worcester Cathedral, with Edward present at the nuptials.

However, Llywelyn's brother Dafydd was discontented with the reward he had received from Edward under the treaty. As a consequence, he rebelled against Edward in 1282. Dafydd's rebellion soon assumed the character of a national struggle against Edward causing Llewelyn and the other Welsh leaders to join in. Edward, in response, began to see it as a war of conquest. Llywelyn was killed at the Battle of Orewin Bridge in December 1282, and Edward's conquest of Wales was completed with Dafydd's capture in June 1283.

Freddy Martin

Frederick Alfred Martin (December 9, 1906 – September 30, 1983) was an American bandleader and tenor saxophonist.

Early life
Freddy Martin was born in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Raised largely in an orphanage and by various relatives, Martin started out playing drums, then switched to C melody saxophone and subsequently tenor saxophone, the latter the one with which he would be identified. Early on, he had intended to become a journalist. He had hoped that he would earn enough money from his musical work to enter Ohio State University, but instead, he wound up becoming an accomplished musician. Martin led his own band while he was in high school, then played in various local bands. Martin spent his spare time selling musical instruments, which also gave him an excuse to listen to the Lombardos play at the "Music Box". After working on a ship's band, Martin joined the Mason-Dixon band, then joined Arnold Johnson and Jack Albin. It was with Albin's "Hotel Pennsylvania Music" that he made his first recordings for Columbia's Harmony, Velvet Tone, and Clarion 50-cent labels in 1930.

Early career
After a couple of years, his skill began attracting other musicians. One was Guy Lombardo, who remained friends with Martin throughout his life. After graduation from high school, Martin accepted a job at the H.N. White musical instrument company. When Lombardo was playing in Cleveland, Martin tried giving Lombardo some saxophones, which proved unsuccessful. However, Lombardo got to hear Martin's band. One night, when Lombardo could not do a certain date, he suggested that Martin's band could fill in for him. The band did very well and Martin's career got started. However, the band broke up, and he did not form a permanent band until 1931 at the Bossert Hotel in Brooklyn.

At the Bossert Marine Roof, a nautical-themed restaurant positioned on the roof of the hotel, Martin pioneered the "Tenor Band" style that swept the sweet-music industry. With his own tenor sax as melodic lead, Martin fronted an all-tenor sax section with just two brasses and a violin trio plus rhythm. The rich, lilting style quickly spawned imitators in hotels and ballrooms nationwide. "Tenor bands", usually with just the three tenors and one trumpet, could occasionally be found playing for older dancers well into the 1980s.

The Martin band recorded first for Columbia Records in 1932. As the company was broke and signing no new contracts, the band switched to Brunswick Records after one session and remained with that label till 1938. During his tenure at Brunswick/ARC, half of his recordings were issued on ARC's stable of budget-priced labels (Banner, Conqueror, Melotone, Oriole, Perfect, Romeo, and Vocalion) as well as scores of non-vocal takes issued on ARC's special theater use label, sold only to movie theaters as background music. In 1938, he signed with RCA Victor and was assigned to Bluebird. The band also recorded pseudonymously in the early 1930s, backing singers such as Will Osborne. From 1932 to 1938, the band's primary vocalists were saxophonist Elmer Feldkamp and pianist Terry Shand. The former primarily sang romantic ballads, while the latter was used mostly for 'hot' dance tunes.

Martin took his band into many prestigious hotels, including the Roosevelt Grill in New York City and the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. A fixture on radio, his sponsored shows included NBC's Maybelline Penthouse Serenade of 1937. Martin's real success came in 1941 with an arrangement from the first movement of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B♭ minor. Martin recorded the piece instrumentally, but soon lyrics were added by Ray Austin, and it was re-cut as "Tonight We Love" with Clyde Rogers' vocal – becoming his biggest hit. It sold over one million copies by 1946 and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA.

The success of "Tonight We Love" prompted Martin to adopt several other classical themes (of Rachmaninoff, Grieg, and others), which featured the band's pianists Jack Fina, Murray Arnold, and Barclay Allen. In 1946, he recorded "Dingbat the Singing Cat", adapted from Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf", and later recorded "A Lover's Concerto", adapted from baroque composer Christian Petzold's "Minuet in G major", two decades before pop group The Toys released it. At this time, Martin enlarged the orchestra to a strength of six violins, four brasses, and a like number of saxes.

His band's first hits included "Intermezzo" and "the Hut-Sut Song".

Musical style
Martin was nicknamed "Mr. Silvertone" by saxophonist Johnny Hodges. Chu Berry named Martin his favorite saxophonist. He has also been idolized by many other saxophonists, including Eddie Miller. Although his playing has been admired by so many jazz musicians, Martin never tried to be a jazz musician. Martin always led a sweet-styled band. Unlike most sweet bands that just played dull music, Martin's band turned out to be one of the most musical and most melodic of all the typical hotel-room sweet bands. According to George T. Simon, Martin's band was "one of the most pleasant, most relaxed dance bands that ever flowed across the band scene."

He used the banner "Music in the Martin Manner." Russ Morgan used a similar banner when he finally landed a radio series with his own band in 1936. (Morgan's title was "Music in the Morgan Manner".) Morgan had been playing in Martin's band and the two were good friends for years. Morgan used some of Martin's arrangements when he started his band.

Later career
Martin employed various people from the music industry for vocal performances, such as singers Merv Griffin, Buddy Clark, Gene Merlino; pianists Sid Appleman and Terry Shand; saxophonists Elmer Feldkamp and Stuart Wade; violinist Eddie Stone, and many others. Helen Ward was also a singer for Martin, just before she joined Benny Goodman's new band.

Martin's popularity as a bandleader led him to Hollywood in the 1940s where he and his band appeared in a handful of films, including Seven Days' Leave (1942), Stage Door Canteen (1943), and Melody Time (1948), among others.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Martin continued to perform on the radio and also appeared on TV. By 1955, he was featured five times a week on national radio networks through the RCA Thesaurus transciption service. Untroubled by changing musical tastes, he continued to work at major venues and was musical director for Elvis Presley's first appearance in Las Vegas. Still in demand for hotel work, Martin entered the 1970s with an engagement at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. In the early 1970s, he was part of two tours of one-nighters that were known as 'The Big Band Cavalcade'. Among the other performers on the show were Margaret Whiting, Bob Crosby, Frankie Carle, Buddy Morrow, Art Mooney, and George Shearing. When the tours ended, Martin returned to the West Coast. In 1977, Martin was asked to lead Guy Lombardo's band when Lombardo was hospitalized with a heart condition.

Martin continued leading his band until the early 1980s, although by then, he was semi-retired. Freddy Martin died on September 30, 1983, in Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, after suffering a second stroke. He was 76 years old.

The 1947 song "Pico and Sepulveda" was recorded by Martin under the alias of "Felix Figueroa and his Orchestra" and was frequently featured on Dr. Demento's syndicated radio show. It was also featured in the 1980 surrealist film Forbidden Zone.

Aeronutronic

Aeronutronic was a defense related division of Ford Aerospace, owned by Ford Motor Company, and based in Newport Beach, Orange County, California.

The 99 acres Engineering and Research Center campus was located on Jamboree Road at Ford Road, overlooking Balboa Bay and the Santa Catalina Strait of the Pacific Ocean in Newport Beach. The facility's master plan and main buildings were designed by Modernist architect William Pereira in 1958.

History
The company was established in 1956 as Aeronutronic Systems, Inc.

The company provided major support for the development of Project Space Track (1957-1961).

Philco Aeronutronic
In 1961, Ford purchased Philco and merged the two companies into Philco Aeronutronic in 1963. It became NASA's primary communications equipment vendor during the 1960s, also building the consoles in the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston.

Its Space Systems division in Palo Alto built satellites, ground stations, and sophisticated tracking and control systems for the military. In 1988, the unit received a contract to build the next generation of Intelsat communications satellites.

In 1978, Ford received its first contract for a prototype of an Army air defense gun system, the Sergeant York Gun. After persistent technical problems and some $1.3 billion in development costs, in 1985 Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger canceled the program. Around 1,300 Aeronutronic workers were laid off as a result.

Many portions of the Philco side of the company were sold off in the early 1970s. By 1975, all that was left was the original Aeronutronic divisions. These were renamed Ford Aerospace and Communications Corporation in December 1976, and then Ford Aerospace Corporation in January 1988.

Space Systems/Loral
In October 1990, Ford Aerospace and Aeronutronic defense plant were sold by Ford Motor Company to Loral to become Space Systems/Loral.

In 1996, the Loral Space & Communications defense electronics and system integration businesses were acquired by Lockheed Martin.

The Newport Beach plant was demolished, and rezoned for residential development.

"The image of "throw away" horses which are raced and then forgotten is a myth." This statement is an opinion not a fact, and a spurious opinion at that. Take a look at what happened to Ferdinand, a Kentucky Derby winner, who was a dud in the breeding shed and ended up being slaughtered in a Japanese Slaughterhouse. Take a look at George Washington who was put back on the track because of fertility problems and was euthanized on the track at Monmouth Park when he broke a leg in the Breeder's Cup Classic as a 5 year old. Take a look at the recent stories about killing thouroughbreds that don't win in Puerto Rico because they are to expensive to care for. Take a look at the recent piece done by HBO's Real Sports about the sale of non-winning racehorses from Mountaineer Downs in West Virginia for a few hundred dollars to "meatmen" who inturn auction the horses off for a few hundred more dollars after which the horses are carted off to Canada or Mexico for slaughter. If not for organizations like the Kentucky Horse Park I wonder what would have happened to some of the great geldings like Cigar and John Henry once they could no longer race. I think the image of the "throw away" horse is very much alive if you look beyond the pageantry of the Triple Crown races. Scarletnite (talk) 18:08, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Scarletnite

Ferdinand was killed not because his days as a racehorse or stallion were over, but rather because of his advanced age in general. Furthermore, it did not occur in the U.S., but in Japan. It was met by vigorous protest in the U.S., and an effort was put in place to oppose such practices. Our cultural practice of not eating horse meat is not shared by many ofther cultures. The act of slaughtering horses of all kinds for their meat is very common in many other countries. At virtually any livestock auction there will be "meat buyers" buying horses. They view it in the same way someone else would buy a chicken or cow to butcher. Having once been involved "beyond the pageantry" of horse racing and in dealing with horses in general, the "throw away horse" is myth. Most owners and trainers have huge amounts at stake in a colt before it ever hits the ground. To throw it away is not even economically sensible. The truth is that there are large number of horses who are butchered every year. They generally were not raised for the purpose, but rather served other purposes before: family horse, work horse, race horse... Most racehorses take on other roles after their days on the track, usually in breeding...carrying on the bloodlines from which they were bred. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.144.205.172 (talk) 19:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Kate Humble

Katherine Mary Humble (born 12 December 1968) is an English television presenter and narrator, mainly working for the BBC, specialising in wildlife and science programmes. Humble served as president of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) from 2009 until 2013. She is an ambassador for the UK walking charity Living Streets.

Early life and education
Born in Wimbledon, London, to IBM employee Nick Humble and Diana (née Carter), she is the granddaughter of Bill Humble, a notable pre-Second World War aviator. She is also the great-great-great granddaughter of Joseph Humble, colliery manager of Hartley Colliery at the time of the Hartley Colliery disaster. She has a brother. She grew up in Bray in Berkshire and was privately educated at the Abbey School in Reading. She later said of her schooling:

"I was a very bad student. I had a fantastic Latin teacher which did mean I did Latin A-Level but other than that my school career wasn't something to be proud of."

After leaving school she travelled through Africa from Cape Town to Cairo, doing various jobs including waitressing, driving safari trucks and working on a crocodile farm. She has returned to Africa many times since. In 1994, she travelled around Madagascar, the subject of her first article for The Daily Telegraph travel section. Since then she has written articles about diving and cycling in Cuba, an 'exploding' lake in Cameroon and hippopotamus conservation work in Ghana.

Career
In 1990, Humble appeared for the first time as an actress in a TV production, Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming, and was credited as "Lauren Heston … The redhead". She was the assistant to a casting director who was looking for an actress to play a brief nude scene, and she got the job herself.

Humble started her television career as a researcher, later transferring to presenting programmes such as Top Gear, Tomorrow's World and the 2001 series The Holiday Programme – You call the shots where the team travelled the world doing whatever viewers recommended using the then-novel media of text messaging and emailing the team as they travelled. Humble has specialised in presenting wildlife programmes, including Animal Park, Springwatch and Autumnwatch with Bill Oddie, Simon King, Chris Packham and Martin Hughes-Games and later, Wild in Africa and Seawatch.

From 2000 to 2005, she presented a BBC series called Rough Science, in which a number of scientists were set various challenges to be solved using basic tools and supplies.

Humble presented The Blue Planet Live! on the 2008 UK tour at Wembley Arena, St David's Hall in Cardiff and at Symphony Hall in Birmingham.

Her BBC television series, The Hottest Place On Earth, is a record of a month spent living with the Afar people in Ethiopia's hostile Danakil Depression.

She occasionally performs on the lecture circuit with a show based on her experiences with wildlife, titled Harassed by Hippos and Battered by Cod: A Humble Way to Make a Living.

In 2007 she founded the web site Stuff Your Rucksack that helps organisations around the world find the items they need by matching them with travellers.

On 16 February 2009 she made her first appearance in Countdown's Dictionary Corner. On 29 July she was the subject for the programme Who Do You Think You Are? where she discovered that she had family connections to the Hartley Colliery disaster. Her paternal grandfather Bill Humble was a test pilot who tested the Hawker Tempest and her maternal grandfather Stan Carter was an officer in the RAF and after being shot down was held as a prisoner of war in Stalag Luft III at the time of "The Great Escape". In August Humble presented a series of programmes for the BBC in which she made a two thousand mile journey across the Middle East, following the ancient frankincense trade route of Arabia which first connected the Arab world with the West. The series culminates in her presenting frankincense, that she has carried throughout the journey, to be used in a Christmas service at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. On 3 October Humble was appointed president of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. In 2013, Humble was succeeded as President of the RSPB by Miranda Krestovnikoff.

In 2010 Humble described being on holiday in the north-eastern region of Afghanistan where there were no signs of conflict, but where the Wakhi people were expected to be hostile. Instead, Humble said they were "amongst the most astonishing, hospitable, warm, genuine people" she has ever met. They were also hard and tough, and Humble believes that "if anyone thinks they are going to win a war against an Afghan they are insane!" She is writing about her experiences in Afghanistan for a forthcoming publication. From 3 to 7 May 2010 she appeared as the dictionary corner guest on Countdown.

In February 2011 Humble presented a three-part series of programmes, The Spice Trail, on the trail of six of the world's most valuable spices revealing their history, trade, mythology and usage.

In March 2012 she co-presented with Dr Helen Czerski a three part BBC series, Orbit. In July, Humble co-presented Volcano Live with Professor Iain Stewart.

In 2017 Humble presented the BBC Two documentary series Extreme Wives with Kate Humble. In the first episode she visited the Kuria people in Kenya and explored issues of polygamy and female genital mutilation. In the second episode she spoke to members of the Haredi orthodox Jewish community in Jerusalem. The third episode meets the matrilineal community of Shillong in the Indian state of Meghalaya. In 2018 she became president of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust.

Humble's book, Thinking on My Feet: The small joy of putting one foot in front of another, was shortlisted for the 2019 Wainwright Prize.

In November 2020 she was included in the BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour Power list 2020.

Personal life
Humble is married to the television producer Ludo Graham. Their families were friends, and they first met when she was aged 16 and he 23. They married in Newbury, Berkshire, in 1992, when she was 23. In 2007, they moved from Chiswick, West London, to the village of Trellech, in Monmouthshire, where they had wanted to live for "a very long time". Humble now owns her own farm after working on Lambing Live. She has a sheep called Humble, named after her, that currently lives with her friend and colleague Adam Henson.

Humble reacted to public criticism on ITV's Lorraine about her lack of intent to have children stating that "I don’t want them, I’ve never wanted them".

Humble is a naturist who "likes to get closer to nature by being naked". About being naked, she says "There's something joyous about it, and I urge everyone to try it".

Humble is an honorary graduate of the Open University. She is a beekeeper and a member of the British Beekeepers Association.

Simon King (broadcaster)

Simon Henry King OBE HonFRPS (born 27 December 1962) is a British naturalist, author, conservationist, television presenter and cameraman, specialising in nature documentaries. King received an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in 2011.

King has been working in the field of natural history film making for over 30 years. He has credited his media career to his parents, his father being in the television industry and his mother being involved in the music industry.

Early life
King was born in Nairobi, Kenya, to parents John King and Eve King (née Shulman), where King's father worked with the British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS) in Nairobi. The family moved to Bristol in the United Kingdom in 1964, when John got a job as a reporter for the BBC's Points West news programme. King's parents separated when he was nine years old, and thereafter he lived with his mother and elder sister, Debbie.

Education
King attended Henbury School in Bristol from 1974 to 1979.

Earliest television work
He began his career as a child actor at the age of ten in such television films as The Fox (1973) and Secret Place (1974). In 1976 he accompanied naturalist Mike Kendall in the BBC series Man and Boy, in which they searched the country for Britain's wildlife. All of these were his father's projects.

In 1984, he made his first film for television – "The Willow", a study of the wildlife which surrounds a willow tree. This was broadcast as an edition of the BBC series The World About Us, as was his following film "The Hidden Land", a study of the wildlife which exists around the hotels in Spain's Costa del Sol. He has since gone on to produce more than 80 natural history films as principal cameraman, director, producer and many more as presenter.

Presenting and filming
King made two series of King's Country and a series of King's Country Diary for the BBC. He was also responsible for BBC Two's Christmas dramatised wildlife documentaries including "Rannoch the Red Deer", "Dusk the Badger", "Shadow the Peregrine" and the programmes "Aliya the Asian Elephant" and "Tyto the Barn Owl", which were produced and narrated by his father and won industry awards.

He presented the highly successful six-part series King and Company and A Walk on the Wildside which was two-and-a-half years in the making. Since 1992, King has worked on programmes for the BBC Natural History Unit. His early credits included presenting stints on series such as Nature Detectives and Wild Nights with Simon King, as well as fronting the Unit's occasional live "Watch" broadcasts. He was a regular presenter on BBC Two's Tracks, fronted Watch Out on the same channel and filmed all over the world for Hot Shots, a series which looked at the making of natural history films.

More recently, King has filmed and co-presented the long-running BBC One series Big Cat Diary alongside Jonathan Scott and Saba Douglas-Hamilton, which follows the progress of lions, leopards and cheetahs in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. He also co-presented BBC Two's annual Springwatch and Autumnwatch series with Bill Oddie and Kate Humble later with Chris Packham and Martin Hughes-Games. For these, King films and presents live outside broadcasts from wildlife hotspots around the British Isles, including Shetland, Mull, the London Wetlands Centre and the Somerset Levels.

Recent filming projects include principal camera credits for Wild Africa and The Blue Planet. He has won BAFTA awards for his camera work on Life in the Freezer and Planet Earth, for which he filmed a celebrated slow-motion sequence of a great white shark leaping out of the water to catch a Cape fur seal.

In 2007, it was announced that King and an assistant had been attacked by a rabid cheetah in Kenya while filming for Natural World. They were given rabies jabs and did not develop the disease, although the cheetah itself later died. This attack was documented in the Natural World episode "Toki's Tale."

In 2011, King was part of the camera team for the Disney film, African Cats.

King has filmed a number of instructional videos for Ordnance Survey, with help on using a compass, reading a map and using grid references.

King was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in 2011. These are awarded to distinguished persons having, from their position or attainments, an intimate connection with the science or fine art of photography or the application thereof.

Personal life
King has three children from his first marriage: Alexander (born 1986), Romy (born 1989) and Greer (born 1995) and one daughter from his second marriage, Savannah (born in August 2006), to his second wife Marguerite Smits van Oyen.

King was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2010 New Year Honours for services to wildlife photography and conservation, and was awarded the Royal Geographical Society's Cherry Kearton Medal and Award in 2009.

Talk:Great Unconformity

Article name
When creating this article, I could not find the correct name for this feature. Is it Great Unconformity or The Great Unconformity? Vegaswikian 21:09, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Essentially, just "Great Unconformity", although in running text a "the" is needed for grammar. Melchoir 15:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite.
To put it simply: this article, and the references it is based on, are so poor that I am preparing to completely rewrite it.
 * - J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:08, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Done. I think there ought to be another section describing how "The Great Unconformity" is iconic for Young Earth creationists, but by WP:WEIGHT there should also be an explanation of why that view is totally rejected by the geology.  And I don't have (yet?) sourcing for that. - J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:13, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Is this article right?
I'm not a geologist, but my impression is that this article is not consistent with modern usage, at least as it appears in this Nature paper. That paper describes the Great Unconformity as a global phenomenon associated with the end of Proterozoic Era, consistent with Powell's unconformity but worldwide in extent. Looie496 (talk) 21:54, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

 * That seems to be a very modern usage, with only that recent paper and some conference abstracts taking this global view - perhaps it's known as something else as well? I'll keep searching. Mikenorton (talk) 22:40, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Cool. I encountered the term for the first time in that Nature paper, and came here looking for background, so I'm pretty much totally ignorant on the topic.  Regards, Looie496 (talk) 22:50, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

 * As the article says, there are many unconformities (gaps in the stratigraphic record). Any sufficiently large and broad unconformity is likely to be deemed "Great" (usually associated with the supercontinent cycle).  The article covers the two that seem most commonly mentioned in the popular press; I haven't surveyed the scientific literature for others.  A quick Google Scholar search on "great unconformity" returns 33 hits, but only 18 with "-flood", so it isn't out of the question if someone wanted to survey those for other usages.
 * If the Nature article generates enough interest I might add a mention of Lipalian interval, but it will be several weeks before I get around to seeing the article myself. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 00:48, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

 * I see some IP user already added a mention. That is fine, but please, per WP:CITEVAR, conform to the citation method already established in the article.  I have reverted it; I suggest opening a new section here, and I will assist with the citation.  I would also suggest that the new text really needs to clarify the time of this particular unconformity, and clarify its relation to the other two mentioned.  ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 00:59, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Section heading?
RM: Why do you think this article needs the section heading you added? It seems to me this is essentially a one-section article, so subdividing it into one section is, well, silly. (Unless, of course, someone wants to greatly expand the article, but that has not happened.) The TOC box also looks silly, so if you really want a section header the TOC needs to be suppressed with NTOC. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 18:48, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Please do not suppress the TOC it is correct here. If the heading is removed, then the article should be tagged with intro too long.  Given that, the section heading actually makes sense.  Vegaswikian (talk) 19:11, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

 * The "intro" that (absent a header) you consider too long I consider the body of the article. If you consider that a long intro, then the obvious question is: where is the body? I think the real point of the header is to break out the lede from the rest of the article.  But as I said, this is (so far) a one-section article, and I do not see why the lede has to be split out like that.
 * As to the TOC (with or without the section header): without the TOC the article pretty nearly fits on one screen, and there is little to be gained from such a navigational aid. Present, it impedes the flow from the opening pair of sentences to the rest of the article. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:26, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, if you consider the intro to be the body, then the article is missing an intro. The MoS says to have both.  The TOC gets added based on the number of headings.  There is no good reason for this article to be different and suppress it. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:14, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

 * So is this a long intro with no body? Or a short article with no intro? Or should we make it a one-section article with an intro and (lest anyone get lost!) a TOC?  I submit that the common characteristic of all of these is that, all in all, this is a short article.  By actual count, 75 words in the first paragraph, and (counting markup) about 400 words in the rest.  Please note that the MoS does not say an introduction is absolutely required.  Specifically: "Where the article is a stub, a lead may not be necessary at all."  Which is my position: here it is not necessary.  Also: "Once an article has been sufficiently expanded, generally to around 400 or 500 words, editors should consider introducing section headings." (Emphasis added.)  But not mandated. In this case the article is not long enough to warrant such a heavy superstructure. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:36, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The MoS also states Once an article has been sufficiently expanded, generally to around 400 or 500 words, editors should consider introducing section headings. Given that this article is not a stub and is close to 400 words, your argument does not really work for me.  Is it possible to add 50 more words to the article?  I think the answer is yes and doing that would be more productive then discussing the reasons to eliminate a heading and ToC. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:57, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, your apparent view that at some magical word counts headers are mandated doesn't work for me. Are getting just a little wrapped around an axle here?
 * Your statement, that "The MoS says to have both", is incorrect. And the bit that we have both quoted says that around 400 or 500 words, editors should consider an introduction.  Okay, fine, let us consider.  The substantial content of this article barely constitutes a single section, and I say it's overkill to give it a header.  Though if you insist on a header for the second and third paragraphs — which are not so much examples as the primary instances of where the term is applied — then that last paragraph, which is not "examples", needs its own header, and the first section is only two sentences.  I say that the second and third paragraphs are really expansion of the first paragraph (currently the intro), and separating them, whether by a section header or TOC, impedes the narrative flow.  (If you really insist on an introduction than it should preface the existing content.  Which poses a bit of problem, because summarizing this very short article is tantamount to repeating it.)  In short, I say that a section header (or headers) is not required, adds nothing, and actually detracts from the article. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:27, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Re recent edits
Vegaswikian: two points about your recent edits. First, you reinstated the TOC without discussion, which (as I have previously argued, above) is overkill for such a short article. Your previous argument was (please correct me if this paraphrase is inaccurate) "the MOS says so", which I find a bit of a stretch. If you have better reasons please let me know.

Second, the paragraph you added at the end ("At Frenchman Mountain ...") has multiple problems. First, is this a third instance of a Great Unconformity? Or another appearance of Powell's? This needs clarification. If the latter, then it should be worked into the proper paragraph. However, in that case there is a question of whether this appearance is notable for any reason other than being near your home town.

Which leads to the second problem, of the sources. The first is a television story about vandalization of the exhibit on the trail; it doesn't even get to the geology. The next reference is to a web page that actually says something about the geology, but identifies no reliable source, and is hardly better than a blog. (There certainly are better sources, by experts.) The last reference (about the trail) is from a travel brochure, which is a really flimsy source. There is also the matter of citation style: whatever sources you add need to conform to the rest of the article.

And there is the matter of whether your addition (which in a former version constituted half of the article) is simply a coatrack for mentioning this "Great Unconformity Interpretive Trail". There is no showing that this trail is notable anywhere outside of Nevada.

For these reasons I am inclined towards removing the last paragraph entirely. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:12, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I just restored information that over time had been removed from the article. Now, if you want to rework the entire article to better list places where this geology is visible, that is clearly and option. I found it interesting that the Frenchman Mountain one shows up first on a Google search.  As to this being different from the others, that would depend on how connected this feature is around the world.  I'm not sure if we know the answer to that.  However from what little I know, the various places where it is easily visible have a varying number of years visible.  Given that, the best way would be to list the different sites in a table by location and the number of years missing.  That would give readers more information and probably make for a better article.  As to the TOC, yes it should be there.  I'm glad you noticed that this was discussed a while ago, probably about 100,000 edits ago for me, so I find it interesting that my opinion of this has not changed over time.  Vegaswikian (talk) 22:04, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

 * There is a recognized global connection or equivalent for Powell's Great Unconformity that is exposed in the Grand Canyon. This specific Great Unconformity, which is same unconformity exposed at Frenchman Mountain, is found across North America (Laurentia). Powell's Great Unconformity, is the craton-wide unconformity that forms the base of the Sauk Sequence (Megasequence) as discussed in detail by The Great American Carbonate Bank: The Geology and Economic Resources of the Cambrian-Ordovician Sauk Megasequence of Laurentia. Paul H. (talk) 04:29, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I had thought from some scanning of sources that there might be the possibility of one. So my suggested table apparently needs to really list 'exposures' as you call them since these points are notable, but probably not sufficient for an article on their own. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:38, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Paul. That's rather how I thought it was: craton broad, with multiple exposures. That certainly should be explained in the article, and that the Grand Canyon is not the only exposure (But possibly the first known?) I seem to recall another interpretive site in Pennsylvania, and I wonder how many others exist across North America. A quick Google search suggests: Missouri, Ohio, Wisconsin (?), North Dakota. This might warrant further study.  Unfortunately, I don't have that book.
 * VW: Showing up first in Google is significant only in that a Google algorithm calculates that a lot of people are interested in that site. It says nothing about notability. While it might be useful to mention some of the places where people can see the GU, the text you have added is gives WP:UNDUE weight to a single exposure, does not fit the structure of the article, and has extremely poor references not consistent with the other references.  Sorry, but I am taking this out.  If you have a better formulation please propose it here. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:56, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I have and you have chosen to ignore it. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:43, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Your original formulation is faulty on multiple grounds. You have not proposed a better formulation, there is nothing to ignore. However, this point is rapidly becoming moot, as Paul has prepared a better formulation which covers what you wanted included. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:54, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Two comments. First, there are so many exposures that it will be impractical to list and calculate the age of missing time for all of them. Finally, that being said, the Grand Canyon and Frenchman Canyon exposures of the Great Unconformity are both regarded as being quite exceptional, if not unique, by geologists relative to all other exposures in the extent to which this unconformity is exposed and detail in which it can be studied. The Grand Canyon exposures are also notable in being the type section for the Great Unconformity. The Frenchman Mountains are regarded as both notable and unique by geologists in they expose the Great Unconformity and essentially a section of overlying Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks equivalent to the section found in Grand Canyon and, completely unlike the Grand Canyon, both the unconformity and section of underlying Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks are readily accessibility to both researchers and the lay public.

 * An excellent, most impressive rewrite! You do seem familiar with "Ga" geology, and I am pleased that I don't have to dive into it. Thanks.

 * A number of comments. First, a strong objection to changing the reference style (i.e., short cites pointing an alphabetized list of references collected in a separate section). Hopefully there will be no objection to returning to that style?

 * Other matters: the lead paragraph should be essentially a summary. I think the second paragraph should be in its own section. ("Unconformities in general"? "Introduction"? "Background"?)

 * Although I think "unique" gets over-used, and incorrectly, I am inclined to accept your statement that the Frenchman Mountain exposure is notable, even exceptional, for the reasons provided. Granting that this is documented somewhere, yet it is unclear: where? This is a problem with collecting all of the citations at the end of a paragraph: it disconnects them from specific points, making verification unnecessarily harder. I strongly suggest that supporting references should be per sentence.

 * As to VW's suggestion of listing exposures: I would suggest not exposures as such, but interpretive sites. Surely there are not that many. And I think it would be an excellent bit of geological education if the article could guide people to such sites in their region. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk)

 * Thanks for your comments. Yes, I object to changing the reference style back. I find the fill-in-the-blank-column format to be an utterly useless, hopelessly inflexible, and utterly pain-in-the-rear end way of formatting citations. As far as I am concerned, it is also quite pointless and cumbersome to have separate "Notes" and "references."

 * That being said, I will review the use of "unique" and your other comments. Paul H. (talk) 00:22, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Well, I object that you changed it in the first place. I would also cite WP:CITEVAR. But let's break out that discussion into its own section.
 * I think "unusual" works. I was a little surprised that you took out "completeness and accessibility", as those go straight to why that exposure is notable. And not all redundant. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:52, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Does Hutton's Unconformity fit in here?
Although I'm aware that Hutton's Unconformity is sometimes referred to as the "Great Unconformity", it doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the article. Sections 3,4 & 5 are all about the "Base Cambrian" unconformity, which Hutton's Siccar Point example is not. Would it be better to just mention it in a hatnote?
