Liberal landslide
The full text of this article is "The results of various elections have been popularly described as a Liberal landslide when a party of that name won decisively, that is a Landslide victory. These include:" (followed by a list). This does not add in any signficant way to Landslide victory -- it only compiles a list of landlside won by parties wwith "Liberal" in their names. Note that "Liberal parties" do not necessarily have anything in common -- they include two disparate parties in the UK, the conservative Liberal Party of Australia, the conservative British Columbia Liberal Party, and the ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia. Delete. Ground Zero 18:45, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with ground Zero. Meelar (talk) 18:55, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Jonathan Edwards

better
Much better placement of images. Thanks KHM03. Mkmcconn (Talk) 15:52, 15 July 2005 (UTC) imaweiner

"... born after his time."
It's not our job to assert that; saying that he was born after his time asserts a non-neutral point of view, and that is forbidden by Wikipedia policy. Is there a better way to say this? --Idont Havaname (Talk) 21:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

How about saying that attempted to reinterpret and revivify the New England Puritan theology of the seventeenth century?

 * I wouldn't say he was reinterpreting the theology. Puritanism was still very strong in the New England area, and the Great Awakening lead to a spread of the more "conservative" (as opposed to the other Protestant denominations of the area [Presbyterians, etc.]).

Permanent Link for Wikipedia research project
Hello, editors of ! I am currently working on an essay on Wikipedia, part of which will feature a comparison of articles of Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Brittanica. To ensure that I send reviewers articles that have not been recently vandimaweineralized or have not been involved in an edit war, I would like, by December 31st, a revision of this article to be listed at User:Chrisisme/Research-permalinks that is not vandalized and/or is generally at peak quality. Thank you! Chrisisme 20:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Dates must be wrong
I presume that the first name heading this page must be the preacher and theologian of eighteenth century America, the Great Awakening (or Great Revivalist) preacher ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:19, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Chauncy
I may need someone to enlighten me here. I find abundant references that Chauncy wrote the "old light" classic Seasonable Thoughts on the State of Religion in New England in 1743 (I've read it too), but I am unable to find any non-Wikipedia reference to The Late Religious Commotions in New England Considered,published in 1743. Are these the same work under different titles. Or may it be that the latter is a sermon title mistakenly attributed as a title of the book?Will3935 09:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I am going to change the name of the work. At the very least, Seasonable Thoughts was indeed published in 1743 and addressed revival enthusiasm. If the other title is valid someone else can add it.Will3935 08:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Did not change the name after all. I must be ignorant (would appreciate a link to this work as it must be in the public domain). I simply added Chauncy's Seasonable Thoughts.Will3935 08:44, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Two More Things
First, some of the wording and punctuation seem quite old in style. I haven't done an extensive comparison between the exact wording in the article and that found in Serono Dwight's biography of Edwards but the style seems reminiscent. English has changed considerably since Dwight's time and thus the old style seems antiquated and the wording at times does not follow modern conventions regarding punctuation. Most obvious is the way the semicolon is used at times.

Second, if no one objects I will remove the page limitations found in the "further reading" section. These are not citations so they don't require the specific limitations. One would hope readers will take in the works as a whole. Also, I am putting in a reference to Gerald McDermott's book which I believe is a good commentary on Edwards' approach to religious affections.Will3935 13:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Never mind the page limitations issue. Someone put them in the citation format even though they are not citations. I'm too lazy to change the whole thing and will thus not add McDermott's book.Will3935 13:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Questionable Introduction
The introduction of the entire article has a questionable assertion. The sentence reads, "His fire-and-brimstone sermons, such as 'Sinners in the hands of an angry God,' emphasized the unworthiness of man in God's eyes, and the swooning and other behaviors in his audience caught him up in a controversy over 'bodily effects' of the Holy Spirit's presence." It seems both out of place in the introduction and also inaccurate. Readers of Jonathan Edwards tend to see "Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God" as a sort of anomaly. Surely, he could be called a "fire-and-brimstone" preacher in the context of such a sermon, but it's a large leap to characterize him as exclusively such in the introduction of this article, because his other sermons are not all thematically similar to this most famous one, as the sentence immediately before states. Also, the reference to controversy over the Holy Spirit does not belong in the introduction of this article.

A possible change, instead of the line quoted above: "Among his most famous sermons is 'Sinner in the Hands of an Angry God,' which emphasized the unworthiness of man in God's eyes."

Piponline 21:28, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Needs a lot of work
This article has a lot of potential, but that's also a way to say it needs a lot of work. I would like to see a section on Edwards' theology, which would sum up his core teachings, such as God's infinite regard for Himself (see The End for Which God Created the World). Maybe if I get the time I will begin working on it myself. I confess I have not read this article in its entirety, but I think that a lot of readers who only want to discover the main thrust of his teaching (and not so much the story of his life) would benefit from a theology section.

Furthermore, I would like to see the second paragraph under the "Legacy" section grow into a section titled "Continuing Influence", as Edwards is enjoying a resurgence among youth today, due largely in part to the work of Desiring God. The second paragraph under the "Legacy" section begins quite awkwardly and I don't know what to do with it yet. It says that Edwards' writings influence people to this day, but then moves on to talk about pre-WWII influence. I thought we were talking about "this day"?

--Wikitonic 04:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Joseph Hawkley
It greatly troubles me that there is no mention of Joseph Hawkley in this article, which was obviously a huge controversy of his life that deserved to be mentioned...Why is this not in here? It is 100% relevant to his life and his ministry and was important to his dismissal in Northampton. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.190.255 (talk) 20:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Discussion explaining why J.Edwards the theologian and J.Edwards the athlete belong at the top of this disambiguaton page
We had a discussion of the relative prominence or importance of the JEs listed on this page. See the consensus here. --Fl e x (talk/contribs) 02:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Though I don't actually consider the "consensus" supposedly reached here to actually rise to the level usually needed on Wikipedia to be called consensus (at least not on the pages I visit), and though I don't agree with the conclusion of the "consensus", I do recognize that it constitutes a significant precedent worked out by other editors, and I've not attempted to fight the current state of the page, regardless of my own personal feelings.

 * But I must take issue with User:Flex's removal of the discussion that I placed here earlier. Regardless of where that discussion took place, it is absolutely undeniable that this discussion has at least as much to do with this page, if not more, than the page at which it originally took place.  Reading this discussion is completely necessary in order to understand why this page is organized the way it is, and it belongs here.  I will not accept its removal and replacement with a mere link, and if it is removed again I will seek administrative intervention.  Regardless of the technical argument that it belongs elsewhere, I think the spirit of WP:IAR applies here, and this discussion must not be moved. 74.234.39.218 (talk) 04:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The discussion appears under Jonathan Edwards (theologian) because that article was named Jonathan Edwards (no parenthetical) when the discussion took place. When the discussion reached resolution, we took appropriate actions in renaming pages. There is no WP policy dealing with this, AFAIK. I agree with you that giving context here is helpful (though not entirely necessary), but there is no need to duplicate the (long) discussion here, which serves mainly to crowd this talk page and lacks the edit history of the original. Anyone interested in this discussion has a link and is only a click away from it. I have removed the discussion again for these reasons. If there is a consensus that it is better to have partial redundancy (lacking edit history), I will cheerfully submit to it. You may seek admin intervention if you wish (note that I don't think your incivility and lack of good faith in this matter will help your case, as those are not rules you may ignore), but you'll likely need to go through at least WP:3O first. --Fl e x (talk/contribs) 13:34, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Because I assume good faith, I won't presume that you're trying to cover something up by deleting the aforementioned discussion from this page. But that discussion is more relevant here than where you have it.  I am not proposing removing it from where it is, but you have presented no convincing reason for it to not be placed here as well.  As you said, there is no policy on such matters, and in the interest of keeping everyone informed, it makes 100% sense for it to be here.  But even if you disagree with the utility of locating it here, there is no harm in presenting it here (other than your statement that it "serves mainly to crowd this talk page".  Omigod, that is one of the lamest things I have ever read on a talk page.  There are talk pages that would print up to dozens of pages; I hardly think that one discussion—which I remind you that YOU are making use of—is somehow going to "crowd" this talk page.  Or do extensive talk pages frighten you somehow?  I myself believe in extensive freedom of expression, and am not scared to take my lumps.  You seem like an intelligent fellow.  Of what are you afraid? I'm placing it back here.74.234.39.218 (talk) 19:18, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

 * We can leave it here, but then I will simply archive it per WP:TPG. Instead, I propose we delete the duplication (which, again, isn't a complete duplication since it doesn't include the edit history). Then the information is more accessible than if it is stuffed in the archives of this talk page. If you are strongly against this, I think we need a third opinion. (PS, if I were trying to "cover something up," I would be trying to get rid of the discussion where it originally took place, not this needless, screen space-hogging copy of it.) --Fl e x (talk/contribs) 20:59, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Your point on edit history, while technically appearing to possess merit, is disingenuous. Edit histories have value, but their value is of far greater significance in the article mainspace where the editor's intent is otherwise opaque.  On a talk page, the editor's intent is just as clear without an edit summary as it is with one, since he or she  is expressing their opinion outright.  I'm not saying that they are without value, merely that while I would horrified to lose the edit summary history in mainspace, it troubles me very little here.  And I never said that I thought you were trying to cover something up.  I assume good faith, amigo.  As to archiving, I tend to have no objection, unless I see that the page is being archived prematurely.  I've seen many a talk page many times the length of this one before they get archived.  I'm not sure that this one will ever need archiving.  Why do you appear to be chomping at the bit? 74.234.39.218 (talk) 22:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

 * First, this is all blown way out of proportion. Second, calling my argument disingenuous (rather than flawed or weak or whatever) does not seem like good faith to me. Third, my points remain the same: I see this duplication as an unnecessary overcrowding of this page when a simple link to the real discussion will do, and it lacks the edit history of the original, which as you say is less important but not unimportant on a talk page (such things come into play sometimes when someone is running for admin, is in a dispute, etc.). --Fl e x (talk/contribs) 02:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Since I haven't heard from you in a good while, I will go ahead and delete the unnecessary "duplication". --Fl e x (talk/contribs) 21:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Dates are wrong
I presume the first "Jonathan Edwards" mentioned here is the Great Revivalist preacher and theologian. He did not actually live from 1703 to 2009 - after all, did any one really believe he lived to be 2006? I think his dates were 1703 to 1758. If any one knows them off by heart, s/he could change them, but I have some reference books in my house where I could check his dates. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:23, 18 May 2010 (UTC) I have just looked in Chambers Compact Reference Dictionary of Religious Leaders and it did not have an entry for Jonathan Edwards. I shall have to look in my general biographical dictionary to check his dates. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:24, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Jonathan Edwards (theologian) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 03:00, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Nineteen Day Feast

Nineteen Day Feasts are regular community gatherings, occurring on the first day of each month of the Baháʼí calendar (and are often nineteen days apart from each other). Each gathering consists of a Devotional, Administrative, and Social part. The devotional part of the Nineteen Day Feast can be compared to Sunday Services in Christianity, Friday Prayers in Islam, or Saturday Prayers in Judaism; however, the Baháʼí Faith has no clergy nor is congregational prayer performed at these meetings.

Purpose
Baháʼís see the Feast in both practical and spiritual terms. It is both an administrative meeting, and at the same time it is an uplifting spiritual event, and thus it has a central purpose to the Baháʼí community life.

The Nineteen Day Feast serves to increase the unity of the community, and spiritually uplift the community members by having a devotional program, where readings and prayers from the Baháʼí holy writings are shared, and a social program where community members can socialize.

 * "As to the Nineteen Day Feast, it rejoiceth mind and heart. If this feast be held in the proper fashion, the friends will, once in nineteen days, find themselves spiritually restored, and endued with a power that is not of this world."
 * ʻAbdu'l-Bahá: Selection from the Writings of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, p. 91

As an administrative meeting, the Feast provides an opportunity for the community to report news, or other salient items of interest to the community, and allows for communication and consultation between the community and the Local Spiritual Assembly.

 * "...The main purpose of the Nineteen Day Feasts is to enable individual believers to offer any suggestion to the Local Assembly which in its turn will pass it to the National Spiritual Assembly. The Local Assembly is, therefore, the proper medium through which local Baháʼí communities can communicate with body of the national representative..."
 * From letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States and Canada, November 18, 1933

While attending the Nineteen Day Feast is not obligatory, its importance is stressed since it allows for consultation between the individual members, the community and the Local Spiritual Assembly, as well as increasing the unity of the community.

 * "In regard to the Nineteen Day feasts, Shoghi Effendi is of the opinion that the believers should be impressed with the importance of attending these gatherings which, in addition to their spiritual significance, constitute a vital medium for maintaining close and continued contact between the believers themselves, and also between them and the body of their elected representatives in the local community."
 * Letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, 22 December 1934

Structure
The Feast should, if possible, begin on the first day of the new month of the Baháʼí calendar. Attendance is considered a spiritual responsibility, but is not obligatory. The meeting can vary in style between any two communities, but each must have the same format - a devotional portion, followed by a community consultation, followed by a period of socialization. Quite often there is food served, though this is not a requirement. The different portions should not regularly be given undue weight. However, Shoghi Effendi cautioned against too many set forms, or allowing any particular cultural form to become rigid:

 * The further away the friends keep from any set forms, the better, for they must realize that the Cause is absolutely universal, and what might seem beautiful addition to their mode of celebrating a Feast, etc., would perhaps fall on the ears of people of another country as unpleasant sound - - and vice versa.
 * From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States and Canada, July 20, 1946

Devotional Portion
The devotional portion is seen as a means to uplift the spiritual character of the community, and put the members in a spiritual frame of mind, for their own sakes, and so that this spiritual atmosphere may permeate their consultations. The devotional portion usually consists of the reading of prayers and excerpts from the Baháʼí writings. The arts, especially music, have been highly encouraged by Shoghi Effendi in this portion.

 * ...the Feast is opened with devotional readings, that is to say prayers and meditations, from the Writings of Baháʼu'lláh, the Báb and the Master. Following this passages may be read from other Tablets, from the Holy Scriptures of previous Dispensations...
 * From letter of the Universal House of Justice to the Hands of the Cause of God, August 25, 1965

Administrative Portion
Baháʼís are encouraged to consult on all important matters, and the Nineteen Day Feast provides an opportunity to do so. The members also report news, or other salient items of interest to the community. This portion is also the primary outlet of communication between the community and its Local Spiritual Assembly, and recommendations to that body are often consulted upon in the Nineteen Day Feast.

During the administrative portion Baháʼís are asked to consult in a specific manner, termed Baháʼí consultation, where people put aside prejudices and personal attitudes and rather fully explore the matters under consultation.

The Feast is a critical arena for democratic expression within a Baháʼí Community. Baháʼís from other communities may freely attend, though they may not vote on any recommendations that the community may put forward as recommendations to the Local Spiritual Assembly.

Previously if a non-Baháʼí attended the Feast, guidance was given that the administrative part of the feast should be omitted, or the non-Baháʼí was asked to step outside of the room during the administrative portion of the feast. more recent guidance from the Universal House of Justice has since allowed for the administrative portion of a feast to take place should a non-Baháʼí attend.

 * "The House of Justice has decided that, in such instances, rather than eliminating the administrative portion completely or asking the visitors to withdraw, those conducting the programme can modify this part of the Feast to accommodate the guests.

 * "The sharing of local and national news and information about social events, as well as consultation on topics of general interest, such as the teaching work, service projects, the Fund, and so on, can take place as usual, while discussion of sensitive or problematic issues related to these or other topics can be set aside for another time when the friends can express themselves freely without being inhibited by the presence of visitors.

 * From a letter of the Universal House of Justice to all National Spiritual Assemblies, May 17, 2009

Social Portion
The social portion of the feast is normally accompanied by some refreshments although refreshments can be served at any point. It is the responsibility of the host to provide and personally serve something, even if this simply consists of water.

Spiritual Assembly
It is the responsibility of Local Spiritual Assemblies to ensure that the Nineteen Day Feast is held.

Individual
Attendance at the Nineteen Day Feast is not obligatory, but is considered a duty and a privilege for Baháʼís since it is where they can enter into consultation with the rest of the community.
 * "Attendance at Nineteen Day Feasts is not Obligatory but very important, and every believer should consider it a duty and a privilege to present on such occasions."
 * From letter written on behalf of The Guardian to an individual believer, December 15, 1947

Christianity
The Nineteen Day Feast is described by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá as "The Lord's Supper", likening it to the Last Supper in Christianity. In this sense, participation at Feast can be seen as slightly analogous to the Christian practice of Communion, though only in the sense that it should provide fellowship and connection between the faithful, God, and each other. This communal sharing of commitment and memory is crucial to both Christian communion, and to the Baháʼí Feast.

 * "Make ye an effort in every meeting that the Lord's Supper may become realised and the heavenly food descend. This heavenly food is knowledge, understanding, faith, assurance, love, affinity, kindness, purity of purpose, attraction of hearts and the union of souls ... When the meeting is conducted after this manner, then ʻAbdu'l-Bahá also is present in heart and soul, though His body may not be with you."
 * ʻAbdu'l-Bahá: Baháʼí World Faith, pp. 407–408

 * "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me."
 * King James Bible, Luke 22:19

Burapha University

Burapha University (BUU) (Thai: มหาวิทยาลัยบูรพา) is one of Thailand's public universities. It is in the coastal town of Saen Suk, near the beach of Bangsaen in Chonburi province. It was established on 8 July 1955, originating from Bangsaen Educational College which was the first regional tertiary educational institute. The university offers degrees in more than 50 programs of study, including 75 master's programs, three EdD programs, and 22 PhD programs.

Burapha University has three campuses:
 * Burapha University, Chonburi Campus, Mueang Chonburi district, Chonburi province established in 1955.
 * Burapha University, Chanthaburi Campus, Tha Mai district, Chanthaburi province established in 1996.
 * Burapha University, Sakaeo Campus, Watthana Nakhon district, Sa Kaeo province established in 1997.

The university colors are gray and gold. Gray represents the progress of intellectual knowledge. Gold represents morality. The colors represent University's commitment to the intellectual knowledge and morality.

In September 2016, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha invoked Section 44 of the interim charter allowing him to form a special panel to take over administration of the university as it was judged to be incapable of administering itself.

History

The university began as Bangsaen Educational College established on 8 July 1955, the first tertiary educational institution outside of Bangkok established to encourage teacher education. There were 41 first generation students.

In 1956 the college received Piboonbumpen School from the Division of General Education to be a demonstration school of the college and renamed it "Piboonbumpen" Demonstration School.

In 1984, when the Prasarnmitr College of Education in Bangkok was upgraded to university level and named Srinakharinwirot University, Bangsaen Educational College was included as a branch campus and started to offer degrees besides teacher education. In 1988, the cabinet was agreed to transform its status to become a new university and In 1990, as a result of the implementation the Thai government's Eastern Seaboard Development Project to industrialize the area, the Bangsaen Campus was upgraded to full university level and renamed Burapha University, which means "University of the East".

For more effective pedagogical management; for instance, Chanthaburi Campus was established in 1996 and one year later Sakaeo Campus was established.

Aside from its status as a government university, many students are drawn to the institution due to its location in Bangsaen, a resort destination popular with Thai tourists (particularly day visitors from Bangkok) that remains relatively unknown to foreign visitors.

In addition, the university contains service centers such as the Institute of Marine Science, whose aquarium is a major tourist attraction, the Library Center, the Academic Services Center, the Computer Center, and the University Hospital, which provides extensive medical services to the surrounding community.

Faculty, College and School

Scorpio Sky

Schuyler Andrews (born April 2, 1983), better known by the ring name Scorpio Sky, is an American professional wrestler and mixed martial artist currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

Andrews is also known for his appearances with Ring of Honor (ROH), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). In ROH, he and Frankie Kazarian are one-time ROH World Tag Team Champions while he, Kazarian, and Christopher Daniels (known as SoCal Uncensored, or SCU) are one-time ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions. Sky joined AEW with Kazarian and Daniels and became one-half of the inaugural AEW World Tag Team Champions with Kazarian. Sky eventually struck out on his own in singles competition, but would form a tag team dubbed "The Men of the Year" with Ethan Page, later picking up a manager in American Top Team's Dan Lambert, which led to Sky's first reign as AEW TNT Champion. He later won back the title for a second time in April 2022.

Early career (2002–2003)
Andrews took an interest in wrestling at a very young age, idolizing the likes of Bret Hart, Ric Flair, and The Midnight Express. In high school he trained with the wrestling team to gain experience. After graduating, Andrews joined the Revolution Pro Rudos Dojo. He debuted in Revolution Pro in June 2002 as a masked wrestler named Gallinero Tres in a match with Top Gun Talwar. After losing the match he spent the rest of 2002 under the mask from June until November when he re-debuted as Scorpio Sky in the Rudos Dojo "Fight For the Revolution" Battle Royal, a tournament where the winner would receive a Revolution Pro contract. The finals saw Sky face Quicksilver. The match went to a draw and both men were given contracts.

Afterward, Sky and Quicksilver formed a tag team known as the Aerial Xpress (AXP). AXP received a strong push, defeating several other tag teams (such as Super Dragon and TARO) and were named the Southern California Tag Team of the Year for 2003. They also won the 2003 Revolution Pro Tag Team of the Year award. Sky won the 2003 Revolution Pro Wrestling Rookie of the Year award after winning the Revolution Pro Wrestling Junior Heavyweight Title by defeating Super Dragon on August 4, 2003. On October 18 he defeated Lost to become the last man to hold the APW-LA Light Heavyweight Championship and co-owned the Alternative Wrestling Show Tag Team Titles with Quicksilver. Later the APW-LA Lightweight title would become the AWS Light Heavyweight Title and Sky was named the first champion. Sky lost the Revolution Pro Junior title to Rising Son in December 2003 in a ladder match. His January 2004 rematch had to be postponed when doctors found he needed emergency surgery, which would sideline him for two months. He regained his title March 6, 2004 and remained champion for 10 months, surviving many title defenses. In the Summer of 2004, Sky and Scott Lost toured for Osaka Pro Wrestling in Japan. On October 16 Scorpio Sky won the Revolution J Tournament, by defeating Super Dragon, Quicksilver and Joey Harder in a 4-way match. In November 2004 he debuted in Combat Zone Wrestling in a "SoCal" match. AXP once again were named the Southern California Tag Team of the Year. In December 2004, Revolution Pro Wrestling held its final show where Sky lost the Revolution Pro Junior Heavyweight title to his partner Quicksilver.

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (2003–2012)
Sky joined Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), a new promotion owned by SoCal wrestlers Super Dragon, Joey Ryan, Disco Machine, Topgun Talwar, Scott Lost and Excalibur. In PWG, Sky and Quicksilver hooked back up with Dino Winwood as their manager to chase the PWG World Tag Team Championship. They received a shot at the champions Arrogance (Chris Bosh and Scott Lost), but were unable to dethrone them. On February 12, 2005, the Aerial Xpress was given a rematch for the PWG Tag Team Title but were once again defeated by Bosh and Lost. Later in June, The AXP defeated Los Luchas (Zokre and Phoenix Star), thus becoming #1 contenders for the PWG tag team title. Bosh and Lost forced through stipulations that if the AXP lost the match, not only would that be their last tag team title opportunity, but they would also be forced to remove their masks. The Masks vs. Title Match took place on July 9, 2005, at 2nd Annual PWG Bicentennial Birthday Extravaganza: Night One. Quicksilver was taken out of the match due to injury after Bosh hit him with a chair leaving Sky alone. Though outnumbered Sky was able to roll up Lost for a three count. The match would go on to be named the Southern California Match of the Year for 2005. Despite the victory, Sky was assaulted after the match by Lost, Bosh, and "The Technical Wizard" Joey Ryan. The three bloodied Scorpio and removed his mask.

The next night Sky did not show up for a title defense and the Aerial Xpress were forced to vacate the title, and the team split. This led to Sky's "Disappearance To Africa" angle. Sky was seemingly out of the wrestling business, but finally made his return in September, without a mask, to attack Scott Lost after his match with Christopher Daniels at PWG's Battle of Los Angeles tournament. This led to a bitter feud between Sky and Lost ending with an "I Quit Match" in December, in which Sky was victorious.

Sky started 2006 on the sidelines with a knee injury. In February he returned and toured Germany and England on PWG's "European Vacation" shows. When they returned to the states Sky feuded with the Human Tornado. During this feud Sky broke Tornado's ankle in a match taking place in Las Vegas. Tornado's then manager Jade Chung turned on him and formed an alliance with Sky. The self-proclaimed "Scorpio Sky Experience" became hated by the fans quickly, and helped Sky climb to the top of PWG, defeating the likes of Kevin Steen, Chris Hero, Homicide and Human Tornado. Sky then went on to form a stable known as The Dynasty, consisting of himself, Jade Chung, Joey Ryan, Chris Bosh and Scott Lost.

It was at this time the rivalry between Sky and Frankie Kazarian began, after Sky assaulted Frankie after a match and cut his hair on May 6, 2006. In June, Sky toured in Europe, performing shows for 1PW, IPW, and Lucha Vavoom in England and the Netherlands. He competed in PWG's Battle of Los Angeles 2006 tournament on September 2, but was eliminated by Kazarian via disqualification after Jade Chung's interference. After Sky, Chris Bosh and Scott Lost defeated Kazarian and his tag team partners Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, Frankie had enough and challenged Scorpio to a "Loser Leaves PWG" match which was to take place in January. On January 13, 2007, Scorpio Sky lost a "Loser Leaves PWG" match to Kazarian ending their nine-month-long feud and forcing Scorpio out of PWG.

Soon after, The Dynasty seemingly brought Scorpio Sky back to PWG, but it was actually an impostor Sky who was noticeably smaller than the original. The real Sky would eventually come into the ring out of the crowd and beat the fake Scorpio Sky out of the building. In the summer of 2007, Sky and Joey Ryan feuded, ending with Sky defeating Joey Ryan and thus winning his reinstatement back into PWG. In October Sky made his official return to PWG teaming with The Young Bucks (Nick and Matt Jackson) to defeat Los Luchas (Zokre, Phoenix Star and Nemesis) in a 6-man tag. He then defeated Ronin at All Star Weekend 6 before teaming with him in a Round Robin Tournament defeating Los Luchas in the first round.

On July 30, 2010, Scorpio Sky made his return to Pro Wrestling Guerrilla to compete against Scott Lost in Lost's retirement match. Sky defeated Lost after hitting him with his own "Big Fat Kill" finishing move. After the match they shook hands and bid goodbye to the fans. During the summer of 2011, Sky once again began regularly working for PWG, reforming the Dynasty with Joey Ryan. On August 20, Sky and Ryan defeated the RockNES Monsters (Johnny Goodtime and Johnny Yuma) to become the number one contenders to the PWG World Tag Team Championship. On September 10, Sky and Ryan failed to capture the PWG World Tag Team Championship from The Young Bucks. Sky's final PWG appearance came on December 1, 2012, when he defeated Joey Ryan in a singles match.

Wrestling Society X (2006–2007)
Sky participated in MTV's Wrestling Society X (WSX). In WSX, Sky had the gimmick of being "the best athlete in history...of Montclair High" and carried around two plaques that were awards he had won. He competed against the likes of Matt Sydal, Jack Evans, and 6-Pac. The show was not picked up for a second season.

Other promotions (2007–2019)
Sky began working regularly for the Empire Wrestling Federation (EWF) in 2007 quickly making waves in the Inland Title Series Tournament. He defeated JT Blackstar and Ryan Taylor to advance to the finals where he would lose to Brandon Gatson. The match was nominated for the 2007 Match of the Year. Early in the year 2008, Sky chased for the EWF Heavyweight Championship held by Gatson. After defeating Dan Kobrick in a singles match he competed in a 4-way with Korbick, Bino Gambino and Gatson for the title. He was unsuccessful in winning being eliminated by Kobrick after a superkick from Gatson. Scorpio Sky then earned a shot at Gatson's Heavyweight Title after defeating Dan "The Man" Kobrick and Terex in a #1 contender's three-way dance. After the match, Gatson went out to congratulate Sky and then leveled him with a superkick. Their match at the 12th Anniversary Extravaganza was one of the most hyped matches in the history of the EWF and held the rare distinction of being scheduled for 2 out of 3 falls. In another match of the year candidate, Scorpio Sky went on the defeat Gatson 2 falls to 1 and become the EWF Heavyweight Champion on May 2, 2008.

Later that month on May 31 he defeated Lil Cholo and Karl Anderson in the AWS promotion to win the AWS Heavyweight Title, again becoming a double champion and being dubbed the "King of SoCal". Sky would successfully defend his EWF Heavyweight title 11 times over the summer defeating the likes of Ryan Taylor, Scott Lost and Joey Ryan in the process. On August 16 Sky lost the AWS heavyweight title to Scott Lost. Days later it was announced that he had suffered a serious back injury leading to him relinquishing the EWF heavyweight title on August 22. On April 26, 2009, Sky defeated Johnny Paradise to become #1 Contender for the AWS Heavyweight title. He faced Scott Lost for the title on May 17 but was unsuccessful due to a double count-out finish. On July 10, 2009, Sky defeated nine other men in a cash out match to become the first EWA Champion.

On September 17, 2010, the Hollywood-based NWA territory launched a weekly television show on KDOC. Sky's first appearance on "NWA Championship Wrestling From Hollywood" came on October 8, 2010, challenging Adam Pearce for the NWA World Heavyweight title. He came very close to winning but Pearce used a low blow followed by a piledriver to secure the victory. After the match, Rocky Romero & Claudio Castagnoli attacked Sky from behind. Joey Ryan and Willie Mack would come to Sky's aid leading to a 6-Man tag match on October 22. Joey Ryan, Willie Mack, and Scorpio Sky were successful.

The Experience would often be escorted to the ring by women and begin every match with a ring girl circling the ring with an "Experience" placard.

Where does one find a skilled artisan in the form of a boot? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.56.195 (talk) 17:59, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Beer in German Länder
When I used to enjoy the beer in Germany, I was told that a beer could not be sold elsewhere in the country in another Federal Land. A Bitburg beer could not, in that case, be served outside of Rhineland-Pfalz as an example. It was as if the Rheinheitsgebot stipulated the beer could not travel.

The rule did not seem to apply to exports as Bavarian Löwebrau had always been available in the UK and in recent years many more German beers are available here too.

I would appreciate someone with a more authorative view to say whether there is any truth in this.

81.154.189.222 (talk) 20:06, 27 December 2010 (UTC) KG UK. (Account details mislaid).

 * Oh boy, somebody got his leg pulled. Definitely not true. I've had Flensburger in Munich and Erdinger in Kiel. --2003:F4:1BCB:9C01:F818:710:47CF:2A83 (talk) 09:26, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Well, being German myself and being quite interested in beer in general, I have never heard of such a rule - and I doubt it exists. You find lots of beers from everywhere in the country which are sold elsewhere. The better knows bavarian brands for example are to be found like everywhere and certain lagers from the north are sold in supermarkets, bars etc. in Munich as well. I have bought Bitburger beer at least in Schleswig-Holstein as well as in Northrine-Westphalia.

I can only guess what this story of inner-german export interdiction was about. I can well imagine that there used to exist restrictions regarding trade in beer among the former sovereign states prior to 1871 or even till 1919. There are also loads of very small breweries especially in the south of Germany which exclusively sell their beer locally, in most cases even restricted to their proper bar. But this is due to the small size of these breweries and not to a law of any sort. Or the person who told you that might have talked about the fact that certain beers are unacceptable to people from certain other regions, as you will never ever find a bar in Düsseldorf selling Kölsch. But this is due to cultural reasons, a certain localism.--129.70.85.161 (talk) 14:38, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Zoigl edits
This line: "advertised with a "Zoigl" - a six-pointed blue-white star" - says that Zoigl is a six-points star. Also Zoigl is not home brewing. It is communal brewing. Perhaps for more information, you should read this: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bier_in_Deutschland — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.160.54.33 (talk) 18:34, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Here is the de.wiki article about "Brauerstern" (Former Brewery): . It says: "The six-pointed Zoigl star formed from two interlocking equilateral triangles symbolize the three elements involved in the brewing fire, water and air as well as in the Middle Ages known ingredients water, malt and hops." The article for Zoigl says "Zoigl is a bottom-fermented beer..." So it seems it can be used to denote a type of beer or a type of star. But that does not mean that "Zoigl means star". Martinevans123 (talk) 18:50, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

I have re-edited this to make it clear. The fact that the symbol is commonly referred to as a "Brauerstern" does not alter the fact that Zoigl means "sign" (probably related to Siegel (seal or stamp). Wahrmund (talk) 20:16, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
 * That looks a lot like WP:OR Wahrmund, but it also looks totally plausible! In the de.wiki article Zoiglstern is liked to Brauerstern, which in turn translates as simply "Former brewery". The sign was being used as early as 1402. The French version is Étoile des brasseurs and the Polish is Gwiazda piwowarska. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:24, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

I agree that it is now much better. I am however confused by the translation of Brauerstern as "former brewery." The article says it is a symbol of a guild. The article also says there is a picture from a book from 1379 showing a monk brewing beer and the star is also shown. As far as I know, this symbol comes from the middle ages, possibly as early as the eighth or ninth century.

Repeal in 1988
"For many years German beer was brewed in adherence to the Reinheitsgebot order or law which only permitted water, hops and malt as beer ingredients until its repeal in 1988."

This is, in fact, wrong. The Rheinheitsgebot was never "repealed". German Beer went through several laws and while European laws made it possible to import accordingly labeled beer with additional ingredients as well as producing such exclusively meant for export, the Rheinheitsgebot remains unchanged regarding ingredients as well as production of German Beer. I will delete the false information. Cheers. --77.10.109.123 (talk) 23:29, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Coconuts Musume

Coconuts Musume (ココナッツ娘.) was a Japanese idol girl group formed by Up-Front Promotion in 1999 and associated with Hello! Project. It was promoted as the "girls from Hawaii". After nine years, the group officially disbanded when Ayaka Kimura graduated from Hello! Project.

Members

 * 1998–2008 – Ayaka Kimura (木村 絢香)
 * 1998–2004 – Mika Todd
 * 1998–2001 – Danielle DeLaunay
 * 1998–2000 – Chelsea Ching
 * 1998–2000 – April Barbaran
 * 2000–2002 – Lehua Sandbo

History
While in Hawaii, Tsunku's fellow band-mate from Sharam Q, Makoto, discovered the five girls who were to become Coconuts Musume. He had requested that Tsunku pick up the act, and in 1999, Coconuts Musume debuted on a Japanese television program, Asayan.

The group originally consisted of Ayaka Kimura, Mika Todd, Chelsea Ching, Danielle DeLaunay, and April Barbaran, with Chelsea taking lead vocals. After two singles, Chelsea and April left the group due to the difficulties of adjusting to life as a J-pop idol (neither spoke any Japanese when the group was formed) and to pursue other careers, such as modeling.

Lehua Sandbo was then recruited as a member, and the group made two more singles until DeLaunay, who also had difficulties adjusting, left to pursue a career in theater. After DeLaunay left, the group switched from the Sony Music Entertainment Japan label to the Zetima label. Between "Watashi mo 'I Love You'" of Sony Music Entertainment in Japan and "Jōnetsu Yuki Miraisen" of Zetima, sales increased by almost a quarter according to Oricon charts.

After one more single, Sandbo, too, retired from the group, went on to the American pageant circuit, and eventually married and gave birth to a daughter. The remaining duo, Todd and Kimura, never released anything else under the Coconuts Musume name, though they contributed to Hello! Project compilations, performed songs (including English covers) during Hello! Project concerts, and became Japanese spokespersons for Dole pineapples. They also appeared on and hosted various radio and television shows separately.

Todd became famous as a member of Minimoni, but retired in 2004 to study singing in California. Meanwhile, Kimura was part of Romans and Petitmoni's third generation. At this time, Kimura was the only member left in Coconuts Musume; however, she was still referred to within Hello! Project as "Coconuts Musume Ayaka".

On April 30, 2008, it was announced on Hello! Project's official website that Kimura was retiring to pursue a career in acting, thus disbanding Coconuts Musume.

Obnovlenie

Obnovlenie (Обновление), officially the Republican Party "Obnovlenie", is a political party in the unrecognized state of Transnistria, an entity that is internationally recognized as part of Moldova. It has been the parliamentary majority in the Supreme Council since 2005.

History
The party was founded as a political non-governmental organization in 2000. Then in the legislative elections of 10 December 2000, it won 7 out of 43 seats.

In the 27 March 2005 local council elections, the party campaigned under the current name above, and won the majority of the seats for the first time in its five-year history. It improved on 11 December 2005 to win 23 of those 43 seats (with another 6 seats going to allies). Since the legislative elections of 2005, it is the majority party in the Supreme Council. The party's leaders in parliament during 2005 were Mikhail Burla and Yevgeny Shevchuk. The latter was elected speaker (chairman) of parliament following the party's sweeping December 2005 win.

It was officially registered as a full political party in June 2006.

There was a debate regarding the position of Obnovlenie in regards to Transnistrian president Igor Smirnov. Most analysts pointed to the party's opposition status, noting that it was not allied with Smirnov, whose party, Respublika, lost several seats to Obnovlenie in the 2005 parliamentary election. However, others claim that the interests of the "Smirnov faction" are represented in all political movements of Transnistria, including Obnovlenie.

Obnovlenie strengthened their majority in the 2010 elections to 25 seats. In the 2011 presidential election, deputy party chairman Anatoliy Kaminski ran against incumbent Smirnov and Shevchuk, who ran as an independent. Shevchuk defeated Kaminski in the run-off.

During Shevchuk's presidency, Obnovlenie held a majority in the Supreme Council of Transnistria and was mildly opposed to his policies. On 25 December 2012, the Supreme Council voted against a new state budget proposed by the government. Thus Transnistria is currently functioning without adopted state budget for the first time in its history. In spite of attempts to find compromise and formation of the joint commission to resolve conflict, these attempts did not lead to any results. Between 2012 and 2013, members of the Supreme Council from Obnovlenie voted against a number of important bills proposed by President Shevchuk and Prime Minister Pyotr Stepanov, including bills aimed to reform the Internal Revenue Code and introduce value-added taxation in Transnistria.

In the 2015 legislative elections, Obnovlenie strengthened their majority by winning 10 more seats in the Supreme Council. Their candidate for the 2016 presidential election, Vadim Krasnoselsky, was also victorious, defeating the incumbent Shevchuk with 62.3% of the vote.

The Secret of Terror Castle

The Secret of Terror Castle is an American juvenile detective novel written by Robert Arthur, Jr. It is the first book in the "Three Investigators" series.

Plot
Three boys are investigating a known haunted house, Terror Castle, in hopes that perhaps the film director Alfred Hitchcock would use it in his upcoming movie. Having just launched their investigation firm, the Three Investigators are hoping for a triumphant success to gain publicity and build their credibility. They briefly gain an audience with the skeptical Hitchcock, who is dismissive but agrees to introduce their case if they are able to demonstrate that the castle is truly haunted.

Terror Castle is the former home of movie actor Stephen Terrill, who died in a possibly suicidal car accident that occurred as his career was on the verge of collapse. Terrill had pledged to haunt his former home to keep anyone else from living there. During their investigations, the boys find very scary and seemingly real activities going on in the abandoned structure, such as the Fog of Fear and the Blue Phantom.

Film adaption
A film based on this book aired on Disney XD on March 19, 2010, and then aired another one in April 2010.

The plot of the film differs significantly from that of the book. In the film, Stephen Terrill is an inventor rather than a silent film actor; and many of the apparently supernatural occurrences are actually Terrill's inventions which continue to operate in the house. The 'haunting' is also partly the work of art thief Victor Hugenay.

Other adaptations
In 1984, an audio adaptation based on the book was released on cassette (BOW-100) by Rainbow Communications Limited of England. It was adapted by Edward Kelsey and directed by Tony Bilbow.

Prosphora

A prosphora (προσφορά, offering, or in Demotic Greek πρόσφορον) is a small loaf of leavened bread used in Orthodox Christian and Greek Catholic (Byzantine) liturgies. The classical plural form is prosphorai (προσφοραί). The term originally meant any offering made to a temple, but in Orthodox Christianity and Byzantine Rite Catholicism it has come to mean specifically the bread offered at the Eucharist during Divine Liturgy.

Baking

A prosphoron is made from only four ingredients, wheat flour (white), yeast, salt, and water. Salt was not used in early times and is still not used in the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem.

Any member of the church who is in good standing, has sufficient baking knowledge, and whose conscience is clean may bake prosphora. Often in a parish church the women will take turns baking the prosphora; in monasteries, the task is often assigned by the Hegumen (abbot or abbess) to one or several monastics of virtuous life.

It is common but not necessary to go to confession before baking prosphora, and the baking often takes place in the morning while fasting. Sometimes, special kitchen implements are used for making the prosphora which are used for no other purpose. There may be special prayers said before commencing, and the baker tries to maintain a religious state of mind throughout, often saying the Jesus Prayer. Usually enough prosphora for a number of services are baked at the same time.

A prosphoron is made up of two separate round pieces of leavened dough which are placed one on top of another and baked together to form a single loaf. This double-loaf represents the two natures of Christ: human and divine. Before baking, each prosphoron is stamped with a special seal called sphragis or Panagiari, usually bearing, among other things, the image of a cross with the Greek letters IC XC NIKA ("Jesus Christ conquers") around the arms of the cross. This impression is baked into the bread and serves as a guide for the priest who will be cutting it.

In the Slavic practice (Russian Orthodox, Bulgarian Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox, etc.) five smaller prosphora are used, in commemoration of the five loaves Jesus used to feed the multitudes. The Greek practice involves one larger prosphoron, in commemoration of the unity of all who share the one "Bread".

Russian Orthodox monasteries or churches may assign the task of baking the prosphora (просфора, also prosfira (просвира) to prosforniki (просфорники) - singular form: prosfornik (просфорник) or to female prosfirni (просвирни - singular form просвирня).

Divine Liturgy

In the part of the Divine Liturgy (Eucharist) known as the Liturgy of Preparation (Proskomedia), a cube is cut from the center of the prosphoron, and is referred to as the Lamb (Ἀμνός). It is this Lamb which is consecrated into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ and from it both the clergy and the faithful will receive the Most Holy Eucharist, while the rest of the prosphora which was not consecrated into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ is cut up for the antidoron, the blessed bread which is distributed at the end of the Liturgy.

The motto "the loaf of Nature's kitchen table," a common metaphor for returning thanks and agape (unconditional love) back to nature, is derived from prosphora.

Prosphora can vary in size and imprinted design in different liturgical traditions. Generally, the Slavic traditions use five small prosphora with a simpler stamp, while the Greek-Byzantine tradition uses one large prosphoron with a more complex stamp, indicating the place from which the Lamb is to be taken and the places from which particles are removed for each of the remaining commemorations.

In addition to the Lamb, particles are removed from the prosphoron to commemorate the following:
 * The Theotokos (Panagia)
 * Nine ranks of Angels and Saints
 * The living (including the local authorities and the ruling bishop)
 * The departed

The Slavic tradition uses a separate prosphoron for each of these, sometimes with a different seal for each prosphoron—or at least a distinctive one for the Panagia. The laity may also present smaller prosphora together with a list of the faithful living and departed whom they wish to have commemorated during the Liturgy. From each of these smaller prosphora the priest will remove a triangular piece as well as several smaller particles while he prays for each of the persons listed.

Panagia
The Prosphoron from which a particle is removed in honor of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) is called Panagia (ἄρτος τῆς Παναγίας) and is solemnly blessed in her honour during the Divine Liturgy. This prosphoron is often stamped with an icon of the Theotokos. Before cutting this prosphoron, the priest makes the Sign of the Cross over it three times with the liturgical spear, saying:

"In honour and commemoration of our most blessed Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-virgin Mary; through whose intercessions accept, O Lord, this sacrifice upon Thy most heavenly Altar."

He then removes a large, triangular particle and places it to the side of the Lamb, as he says: "'At Thy right hand stood the queen, arrayed in vesture wrought of gold and diverse colours.'"

The remainder of the prosphoron is blessed over the holy table, before the blessing of the antidoron, with the phrase "'Great is the name of the Holy Trinity.'" Today, this practice is usually performed only in some monasteries.

After the Liturgy, a triangular portion is cut from the prosphoron by the refectorian (monk in charge of the refectory). The Panagia is then cut in half and laid crust downwards on a dish in a small table in the refectory. After the meal, the refectorian takes off his epanokamelavkion and kamilavkion, saying, "'Bless me, holy Fathers, and pardon me a sinner,'" to which the brotherhood replies, "'May God pardon and have mercy on you.'" Then, taking the Panagia in his fingertips, he lifts it up while saying, "'Great is the Name,'" and then the community continues with "'of the Holy Trinity.'" The rite then continues with "'All-holy Mother of God, help us'" with the reply "'At her prayers, O God, have mercy and save us.'" Two hymns are then sung while the refectorian, accompanied by a cleric with a hand censer, offers the Panagia to those assembled. Each takes a piece between his finger and thumb, passes it through the incense, and then eats it.

Artoklasia
There are also loaves which are baked for blessing and distribution to the faithful outside of the Divine Liturgy. These are generally called artos ("loaves") and are usually made from a single round of dough rather than two. They may be stamped with the same seal used at the Liturgy, though usually they have only a simple cross or an icon such as the patron saint of the local church or monastery. Five loaves are usually made, and they are blessed at a service called the Artoklasia ("breaking of bread"). These loaves, together with wheat, wine, and oil, are blessed and distributed to the faithful during the All-Night Vigil.

I edited out the "he isn't given as much credit as he deserves." I edited it to make it more neutral.

Shouldn't his original given name be Tamas or Tomasz or something consistent with Hungarian? elpincha 15:38, 8 January 2006 (UTC) may be his real name isn't hungarian because his family is american

It's Tamás. His family was Hungarian. They emigrated in 1956 because of the Stalinist backlash. In this 2004 interview (in Hungarian) he says he doesn't remember much, only that they used to live in Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út in Pest. I guess his US name was always Tommy. European immigrants have always been eager to assimilate, name-wise. I don't want to imagine how people pronounced their last name, Erdélyi. --84.188.138.116 17:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * What does this have to do with improving the article? 75.177.156.78 (talk) 15:46, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's quite interesting. But there are quite a few people with the surname Erdélyi, some of whom have wikipedia articles. In the same way there are many people with the surname London. But unless a surname is extremely rare, or unique, it's origin is not generally explained in the article for a particular person with that name. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:53, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Birth year
The article states his birth year as 1952, but some sources say 1949 (or imply it through an age of death of 65). That said, some sources imply 1952. Can anyone clarify with a good source?

Also, RIP. -- Pingumeister(talk) 14:18, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Proper surname
Although "Tommy Ramone" is clearly the name he is best known by (and thus the proper title for the article, per WP rules), wouldn't it be more appropriate to refer to him in the article by the name he actually used (especially after leaving the band): Tommy Erdelyi. Statements such as "Ramone and Claudia Tienan ... performed as a bluegrass-based folk duo" seem wrong, because he wasn't "Tommy Ramone" outside of the Ramones. -Jason A.
