Mostly primary sources
I know, that because the article is fairly technical, the best source of information is project page, documentation, mailing list and official repository. As far as I understand, these are all primary sources, and secondary sources should be added. I think that history section can be expanded and this would be the best place to add more secondary sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by K4rolB (talk • contribs) 16:55, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Kadam virus

The Kadam virus (or KAD, strain MP6640) is a tick-borne Flavivirus.

Located
The virus was first isolated by the Uganda Virus Research Institute in Entebbe, Uganda, after samples were taken from cattle in Karamoja in 1967. The viruses were usually only found from Rhipicephalus and Amblyomma ticks around Kenya and Uganda infecting cattle and humans.

Spread
In the early 1980s, Kadam virus;; was found to be spread in Saudi Arabia by Hyalomma'' ticks when found on a dead camel at Wadi Thamamah in Riyadh.

Precinct of Amun-Re

The Precinct of Amun-Re, located near Luxor, Egypt, is one of the four main temple enclosures that make up the immense Karnak Temple Complex. The precinct is by far the largest of these and the only one that is open to the general public. The temple complex is dedicated to the principal god of the Theban Triad, Amun, in the form of Amun-Re.

The site occupies some 250,000 m2 and contains many structures and monuments. The main temple itself, the Temple of Amun, covers some 61 acres. Some parts of the complex are closed or semi-closed, including large parts of the North-South Axis (the 8th, 9th, and 10th pylons), which are under active excavation or restoration. The whole southeast corner is semi-closed. The northwest corner is a museum that requires an additional ticket to visit.

Most of the southwest is an open-air assembling area containing millions of stone fragments, from small to huge, laid out in long rows, awaiting reassembly into their respective monuments. The area is not closed, as the temples of Khons and Opet both lie in this corner and are open to the public, though both are rarely visited, relative to the huge numbers of tourists who come to Karnak. Also found in that area is the Akhenaten Temple Project, in a sealed long building which contains surviving remnants of the dismantled Temple of Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten).

History
The history of the Karnak complex is largely the history of Thebes. The city does not appear to have been of any significance before the Eleventh Dynasty, and any temple building here would have been relatively small and unimportant, with any shrines being dedicated to the early god of Thebes, Montu. The earliest artifact found in the area of the temple is a small, eight-sided column from the Eleventh Dynasty, which mentions Amun-Ra. The tomb of Intef II mentions a 'house of Amun', which implies some structure, whether a shrine or a small temple is unknown. The ancient name for Karnak, Ipet-Sut (usually translated as 'most select of places') only really refers to the central core structures of the Precinct of Amun-Ra, and was in use as early as the 11th Dynasty, again implying the presence of some form of temple before the Middle Kingdom expansion.

East/West axis

The main temple is laid out on an east–west axis, entered via a quay (now dry and several hundred metres from the Nile).

Cult Terrace
The modern entrance is placed over the end of the ancient cult terrace (or tribune), causing most visitors to miss this significant feature. Inscribed into the terrace (though many are now eroded away) are the inundation levels for several kings of the Third Intermediate Period, collectively known as the Nile Level Texts. The cult terrace is often mistakenly thought to be a dock or quay, but other examples, such as the one at the Hathor temple at Deir el-Medina, do not have access to water. It was intended for the presentation of cult images.

Corridor of Sphinxes
Originally the quay led via a corridor of Sphinxes to the entrance to the second pylon, but these were moved aside when the First Pylon was constructed.

First Pylon
Construction of the current pylon began in 30th Dynasty, but was never totally completed. It is 113m wide and 15m thick. There are large numbers of mud bricks piled up against the inside of the pylon, and these give a clue as to how it was constructed.

Forecourt
The construction of the original first pylon and Forecourt in the 22nd Dynasty enclosed several older structures, and meant that the original avenue of sphinxes had to be moved.

Boat Shrines
These were built in the time of Seti II, and are dedicated to Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.

Kiosk of Taharqa
In order to construct this kiosk, the ram-sphinx corridor was removed and the statues moved to the edges of the open court. Only one column remains in place, bearing inscriptions by Taharqa, Psamtik II and Ptolemy IV Philopator.

Temple of Ramesses III
On the south side of the forecourt, there is a small temple built by Ramesses III. Inscriptions inside the temple show the king slaughtering captives, whilst Amun-Re looks on.

Bubastis Portal
This portal allows exit from the first court to the area to the south of the Temple of Ramesses III. It records the conquests and military campaigns in Syria-Palestine of Shoshenq I, of the Twenty-second Dynasty.

Second Pylon
This pylon was built by Horemheb near the end of his reign and only partly decorated by him. Ramesses I usurped Horemheb's reliefs and inscriptions on the pylon and added his own to them. These were later usurped by Ramesses II. The east (rear) face of the pylon became the west wall of the newly built Great Hypostyle Hall under Seti I who added some honorary images of the late Ramesses I to compensate for having had to erase his father's images there when he built the hall.

Horemheb filled the interior of the pylon towers with thousands of recycled blocks from dismantled monuments of his predecessors, especially Talatat blocks from the monuments of Akhenaten along with a temple of Tutankhamen and Ay.

The Second Pylon's roof collapsed in late antiquity and was later restored in Ptolemaic times.

Great Hypostyle Hall
This was begun by Seti I, and completed by Ramesses II. The north side of the hall is decorated in raised relief, and was Seti I's work. He began to decorate the southern side of the hall shortly before he died but this section was largely completed by his son, Ramesses II. Ramesses decoration was at first in raised relief, but he quickly changed to sunk relief and then converted his raised relief decoration in the southern part of the hall, along with the few reliefs of Seti there, to sunk relief. He left Seti I's reliefs in the north wing as raised relief. Ramesses also changed Seti's names to his own along the main east–west axis of the Hall and along the northern part of the north–south processional route while respecting most of his father's reliefs elsewhere in the hall.

The outer walls depict scenes of battle, Seti I on the north and Ramesses II on the south. These scenes may not show actual combat, but could have a ritual purpose as well. Adjoining the southern wall of Ramesses II is another wall that contains the text of the peace treaty he signed with the Hittites in the year 21 of his reign.

Third Pylon
Through the walls of the Hypostyle Hall is the mostly ruined Transverse Hall, alongside a reconstructed Third Pylon of Amenhotep III. Though much ruined, in antiquity it was quite splendid and parts of it were even plated in gold by pharaoh Amenhotep III. A vestibule was added late in the pharaoh's reign and then partly decorated with incompleted triumph scenes by Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten before the new pharaoh abandoned the project due to his religious revolution which rejected the cult of the god Amun-Re.

In building the Third Pylon, Amenhotep dismantled a number of older monuments, including a small gateway he himself built earlier in the reign. He deposited hundreds of blocks from these monuments inside the pylon towers as fill. These were recovered by Egyptologists in the early 20th century and led to the reconstruction of several lost monuments, including the White Chapel of Senusret I and the red chapel of Queen Hatshepsut, which are now in the open-air museum at Karnak. At the time of its construction, Amenhotep III had the Third Pylon gilded and covered with precious stones, as he relates on a stela now in the Cairo museum:

The reliefs on the pylon were later restored by Tutankhamen who also inserted images of himself. These were, in turn, later erased by Horemheb. The erased images of Tutankhamen were long thought to be of Akhenaten himself, supposedly evidence of a coregency between Akhenaten and Amenhotep III, though most scholars now reject this.

Thutmose I and Hatshepsut's obelisks
In a narrow court, there are several obelisks, one which dates from Thutmose I, and is 21.2 m high and weighs nearly 150 tons. Just beyond this is the remaining obelisk of Hatshepsut, nearly 30 m in height. Later kings blocked out the view of this from ground level, and constructed walls around it. Its companion lies, broken, by the sacred lake.

Fourth and Fifth Pylons
These were built by Thutmose I.

Sixth Pylon
The Sixth Pylon was built by Thutmose III, and leads into a Hall of Records in which the king recorded his tributes. The pylon also includes some images of the god Amun which were restored by Tutankhamen after they were vandalized by Akhenaten. These images were later recarved by Horemheb who also usurped Tutankhamun's restoration inscriptions.

Sanctuary of Philip Arrhidaeus
The sanctuary was built in the time of Philip Arrhidaeus, on the site of the earlier sanctuary built by Thutmose III. This sanctuary contains blocks from the earlier sanctuary and older inscriptions can still be seen.

Middle-Kingdom Structures
A pillar inscribed with the name of Intef II, an 11th Dynasty pharaoh, was discovered in the early 1980s.

The so-called "Middle Kingdom courtyard" in the center of the Karnak complex has been investigated since the 19th century. It had been theorized that a sanctuary of Amun was located here, until the Franco-Egyptian Center for Studies of the Temples of Karnak (CFEETK)'s inaugural 2002 season revealed symmetrical raw brick foundations more than 33 m wide in the courtyard of the sixth pylon, about thirty meters west of the Middle Kingdom courtyard. Five years of work have uncovered a religious complex approximately 70 m wide by more than 100 m long, "probably composed of concentric enclosures and peribolus walls surrounding stores, a front access platform and the "god's abode." This complex seems to have been founded on a large area developed by the construction of earthwork walls, without traces of older architectural remains."

Festival Hall of Thutmose III
This stands to the east of the main temple complex. Between the sanctuary and the festival hall is an open space, and this is thought to be where the original Middle Kingdom shrines and temples were located, before their later dismantling.

The Festival Hall (or Akh-menu – "the most glorious of monuments") itself has its axis at right-angles to the main east–west axis of the temple. It was originally built to celebrate the jubilee (Hed-Sed) of Thutmose III, and later became used as part of the annual Opet Festival. In this temple, the Karnak king list, shows Thutmose III with some of the earlier kings that built parts of the temple complex. It contains the Botanical garden of Thutmosis III.

North/South Axis

This axis, with its massive pylons, heads off to the Precinct of Mut. Most of this area is off limits to tourists, as it is under active reconstruction and excavation.

First Court (Cachette Court)
Over 900 statues were discovered in 1903 by Georges Legrain buried under this open court. These had been buried there, probably in the Ptolemaic period, during one of the clearances of the complex for rebuilding or construction.

Seventh Pylon
On the southern side, there is a carving of Thutmose III smiting Asiatic enemies, under which is a list of names of towns and peoples conquered in his campaigns in Syria-Palestine.

Second Court
Off to the eastern side of the court is an alabaster shrine, constructed for the jubilee of Thutmose III.

Eighth Pylon
Constructed by Hatshepsut, the eighth pylon marks the end of the area that is normally accessible to the public.

Ninth Pylon
This pylon was constructed (or at least completed) by Horemheb. It is hollow and allows access to its top, via internal staircases.

Tenth Pylon
Again, it was Horemheb who built this last pylon, using the Talatat from the dismantled Temple of Amenhotep IV as core building material. There are four registers of scenes around the gateway, in the name of Horemheb.

Other Structures
Located within the outer precincts of the complex are a number of other structures, some of which are accessible to the public.

Sacred Lake
The sacred lake was where priests purified themselves before performing rituals in the temple. The sound and light show is now viewed from a seating area next to the lake.

Temple of Ptah
This small temple lies to the north of the main Amun temple, just within the boundary wall. The building was erected by Thutmose III, on the site of an earlier Middle Kingdom temple. The building was later enlarged by the Ptolemies.

Temple of Ramesses II
Also known as the Temple of the Hearing Ear this temple is located to the east of the main complex, on the east–west alignment. It was built during the reign of Ramesses II.

Temple of Khonsu
This temple is an example of an almost complete New Kingdom temple, and was originally constructed by Ramesses III, on the site of an earlier temple (the construction seems to be mentioned in the Harris Papyrus).

Open Air Museum
Several of the pylons reused earlier structures in their core. In the Open Air Museum, located in the Northwest corner of the complex, there are reconstructions of some of these earlier structures, notable amongst them the Chapelle Rouge of Hatshepsut, and the White Chapel of Senusret I.

Orphaned references in New Brunswick New Democratic Party
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of New Brunswick New Democratic Party's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "resign": From Dominic Cardy: "Dominic Cardy resigns as NDP leader". CBC News, 22 September 2014. From Queens (New Brunswick provincial electoral district): resigned From British Columbia New Democratic Party:  From André Boisclair:

Reference named "ctv": From New Brunswick New Democratic Party leadership election, 2017:  From Dominic Cardy:  From Jennifer McKenzie (politician): </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:49, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Cardy section revision proposed
There is an obvious imbalance in this article, as the treatment of the Cardy leadership period is very detailed and extended, almost 1500 words, containing many ins and outs of the flow of the story and various quotations from the media. By contrast, the longest passage on any other leader, Elizabeth Weir, the most significant in the party's history, is currently about 350 words. This is a problem in terms of Wikipedia policies, which require balanced treatment of subjects and a style that summarizes facts succinctly. Refer, for instance, to WP:5P1 ("an encyclopedia, not a newspaper or collection of source documents") and WP:5P2 ("due weight" and "impartial tone"). Keeping in mind the policy WP:5P4 of respect for other editors and the importance of consensus, I wanted to post this comment for discussion before proceeding further. I think this section needs to be drastically reduced, and references adjusted accordingly. Some of it is already on [], while other material may belong in other articles. The good faith revision here should not be taken as vandalism but one of restoring balance to the overall article. Instead of making the edit without notice, I offer the following revised draft, about 300 words, for comment. If you have revisions, please comment below:

Following Duguay’s resignation, Jesse Travis was named interim leader, and a leadership race was scheduled for 2011. When one of the two candidates, Pierre Cyr, was disqualified and withdrew, the party’s former campaign director Dominic Cardy was acclaimed as party leader. He then embarked on a process of further changing the party's platform and organization, in line with the Third Way model associated with former British prime minister Tony Blair, whom Cardy admired. In a leadership review at the 2012 party convention, Cardy was endorsed by 82% of the voting members.

By 2014, however, Cardy’s political strategy was attracting criticism, especially on issues of resource development in forestry, oil pipelines and shale gas. Concerns increased when Cardy recruited several prominent former Conservative and Liberal politicians as candidates for the 2014 election. These factors contributed to the defection of some NDP supporters, including former leader Allison Brewer, to the Green Party of New Brunswick, who were successful in electing David Coon in Fredericton South. The NDP received 13% of the vote in the September 22, 2014 provincial election, a record high in votes. Although Cardy came within 500 votes of winning in his constituency, the party failed to win any seats.

Cardy announced plans to resign at the next party convention, but this was suspended to enable him to run in an unexpected byelection in Saint John East in November 2014, though without success. The party executive subsequently encouraged him to continue as leader. Criticism of Cardy’s policies and leadership style increased, with concerns expressed by veteran leaders such as federal NDP MP Yvon Godin and Daniel Legere, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, New Brunswick. Complaining of party infighting, Cardy resigned both as leader and as a party member on January 1, 2017. Later that month, he announced that he was joining the Progressive Conservatives under Blaine Higgs as Strategic Issues Director.

No objections received, so I have implemented the changes to this section for the reasons given above. Ami du peuple (talk) 15:50, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

About 2018 election
No problem with the recent added info by Friggin Heck on June 19 about McKenzie policies. But we should remember that the article is not a current news bulletin, so we should probably avoid blow by blow reporting on developments during the campaign or putting up lists of candidates. See the earlier discussion about the Cardy section, especially the references to Wikipedia policies WP:5P1 ("an encyclopedia, not a newspaper or collection of source documents") and WP:5P2 ("due weight" and "impartial tone"). Ami du peuple (talk) 23:53, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

About Leadership
June 1st-August 11th 2023 there was no leader the interim leader resigned and the position was not filled until the end of the 2023 Leadership Race this is a significant time period of 71 days for a party to be without leadership and is worth noting. Someone has removed the vacancy several times meanwhile other NDP branches in Atlantic provinces have experience similar vacant periods without a leader and it is permitted to be included in their Wikipedia articles. Requesting that this remain or it is removed from the other pages. It is a noteworthy point to note the vacancy of leadership during this time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:D1C0:E67:25F6:598:2660:55D (talk) 02:53, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

 * 71 days is not a significant time period for a less significant party in a less significant province. adding that just adds unnecessary space and it honestly makes more sense to just not include it, the fact that New Brunswick's NDP party was vacant for not even a fourth of a year holds no significance. Additionally, I cannot find other "similar vacant periods without a leader" in other Atlantic NDP branches, unless you're referring to PEI, which, due to its vacancy periods lasting during multiple years, is more noteworthy. B3251 (talk) 03:27, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

It is time for a formal Dispute resolution request we appear to be at a total impasse — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:D1E0:7C10:7088:57ED:14C9:DC4 (talk) 03:14, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

 * I literally gave you a response and I've received nothing back other than adding what you want back without any consensus. If you're going to keep adding it back without any sort of adequate explanation I'll have to bring it to the administrators' noticeboard. B3251 (talk) 04:21, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

 * It's not common practise on Wikipedia to add vacancies to lists such as the one in question. Perhaps if it was for an abnormally long period of time, but not a couple of months. -- Earl Andrew - talk 12:22, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * This is what I mean, thank you @Earl Andrew; the vacancies mentioned by the IP on other province's NDP pages cover a multi-year time span; what I mean by this is 2021-2022 for example, which includes two years (2021 and 2022). I would understand adding a vacancy if it were like that, but definitely not a couple of months through the same year. B3251 (talk) 16:28, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Regarding IP edit warring without proper consensus
The IP keeps adding it back, and seems to go by new IPs..? I honestly don't think they're willing to listen; they've been made aware multiple times that they need to reach consensus rather than just adding what they want. How do we go forward from this? I brought it up to the Administrator's noticeboard and seemingly nothing has happened. Pinging those who've reverted the IP. @Earl Andrew @Untamed1910 B3251 (talk) 05:55, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I have protected the page. I worry that I've overstepped my bounds as someone who was involved in this, but if the other admins aren't willing to do anything... -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:25, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Foxwoods Resort Casino

Opening comment
I think it would make sense to point poker fans who visit this page to http://poker.wikicities.com/wiki/Foxwoods, but I don't know what would be a legitimate (non-spammy) way to do so. Comments? - PhilipR 20:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

2008/2009
Maybe I'm making more work for myself, but am i the only one that thinks this page needs a major face lift? The MGM Grand at Foxwoods has been open for 8 months now, not to mention a lot of it's basic information has changed/been updated. At the very least, I would like to add a list of the various outlets currently in the facility... but I think it would also be a good idea to vastly expand the MGM Grand information (if not outright making a whole new entry referencing back to here). What's most notably missing right now are the 700+ employee layoff that occured October 2008; updated MGM Grand at Foxwoods information; updated gaming area/machine information. I am looking to find some reliable sources for these things so I can update them. Coderjcronin (talk) 03:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Slots $$ Consistency
In one place in the article, it states that Connecticut receives 25% of slots revenue, an amount that in 2007 was around $200m. In another place, it states that Foxwood slots handled $9.5B in 2003, and that Connecticut receives 25%. Since I can't imagine revenue went from $9.5B in 2003 to $800m in 2007, something is fishy here. Drhamad (talk) 02:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I think the correct figure here is 25% of the slot take (or income) which I think may also be classified as revenue although that's more of an accounting question. The $9.5B is probably the total amount that the slots "handled" or what was put through them. Given that most of that money is paid back in the form of winnings, the take is much smaller.zimmhead 15:28, 1 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zimm0who0net (talk • contribs)

Zimm0who0net is right, the compact between the state of Connecticut and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation stipulates that the state receives 25% of slot machine take, or profit, every month. This is different from the handle, which is the amount of money that goes through the machine. The handle includes money paid back to patrons (which can vary from 60% to 90%, depending on luck). I will add a section detailing the gaming compact between the tribe and state when I can find it. Coderjcronin (talk) 03:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Found it. Very legalese...|42785|#43087 Coderjcronin (talk) 03:53, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Info Box
Does anyone else think that an Infobox Frame similar to the one on Mohegan Sun should also be added to the Foxwoods article? Misterrick 04:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Largest Casino?
There are several Macau (Chinese) nationalists on Wikipedia who believe that the Sands Macau Casino is the largest in the world. The Sands Macau gaming floor measures approximately 229,000 feet, whereas the Foxwoods boasts 340,000 feet. They are making contradictory claims HERE and HERE. They are not backing down. Help me out guys. VietGrant 08:49, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

 * what do you mean by "Macau Chinese nationalist"? can I say you are an "American Kansas" nationalist with arrogant attitude?  can I say that I have one gaming table inside the building where is larger than 1 million square feet, is the largest casino in the world? 70.52.64.82 02:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * By the numbers, Foxwoods is still the largest by floor space. However, Sands Macau does claim 740 table games compared to Foxwoods 380 (that's 95% more).  Foxwoods also has 7,000 slot/video poker machines.  Sands Macau claims 1,254 slot machines, so it is not a direct comparison.  I'm still inclined to say Foxwoods is the largest casino in the world because it's measurement is in an SI unit, whereas Sands Macau is claiming the title on number of table games, which isn't a unit of measure... just a quantity.  However, the Sands Corporation does claim the title in this press release. --Meadowbrook 05:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * slot machines are deliberately not expanded as Asians don't feel interested in it. Again, I don't care if the casino is larger than 1 billion square feet, if it has lesser tables, it doesn't mean anything.  Standard casino only count tables, but not the numbers of bingo, slot machines, video poker.  Why not put one table in the baseball stadium and claim it is the largest casino in the world? I am still inclined to say Sands Casino is the largest in the world.  70.52.64.82 05:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't deny that Sands Macau can claim largest title, but you have to put the qualifier on it that it is measured by number of table games. Similarly, Foxwoods needs the qualifier that its as measured by gaming space. --Meadowbrook 09:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

What do I mean by nationalist? Nationalist: devotion to the interests or culture of a particular nation including promoting the interests of one country over those of others. That's what I mean. To me, it does not matter WHERE the casino in question is located. America, China, Brazil, I DON'T CARE. I care about Wikipedia having accurate information, whereas it has become abundantly clear that you are here to promote your agenda at any cost. I don't care about Foxwoods. I don't care about Sands. I care about truth. If you could find a third party to back up your claim, this debate would end immediately. But you can't, or you won't. NEITHER casino has the right to make the claim without an objective declaration from a third party. VietGrant 08:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

How is it possible to claim that Foxwoods or Macau as the largest. What about Mohegan Sun?

As of Sept 2009, on its website Foxwoods claims to be the largest casino in North America. Mohegan Sun is undergoing an expansion but I haven't seen a direct area comparison. For lack of a better source, I edited the intro text to mirror Foxwoods' claim. —Kymacpherson (talk) 21:56, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

New Year's Eve
Well, what happened? Did the employees walk out? Anything happen that's worth mentioning in the article? No nothing ever happened as it is a waste of space to mention it in yhis articleVietGrant 11:15, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Theme Song
I'd really like to know more about the Foxwoods Resort theme song. That's the one they used from 2001-2006 approximately. I think it's called, "The Wonder of it All". I really want to find that song and download it, but I have no idea if it's an original song that swingers like the Rat Pack would have sung, or if it was written specifically for the commercial. I think Wikipedia should have an article about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burkemancometh (talk • contribs) 00:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "The Wonder of it All"

Take a chance, make it happen Pop the cork, finger snappin...

I still have that song stuck in my head for all those years —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.128.253 (talk) 04:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Most slot machines claim
I removed from the article the claim that Foxwoods had the most slot machines of any casino. Based on the numbers on their respective websites, Foxwoods claims 6300 machines, and Winstar World Casino claims 6700. I don't know if any others have more than Winstar, but it appears Foxwoods does not have the most. 68.97.28.139 (talk) 03:13, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Irretrievable (?) reference
§ History says
 * In an agreement negotiated with the state of Connecticut, to gain their approval of the casino, the tribe agreed to pay 25 percent of the slot revenue to the state, a sum that amounted to almost $200 million per year . In the fiscal year ending June 2008, Foxwoods' 6,300 slots handled more than $9.1 billion.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Maureen Haughey

Maureen Haughey (Lemass; 3 September 1925 – 17 March 2017) was the wife of Charles Haughey, who served as Taoiseach on three occasions.

Biography
She was born in Dublin, the eldest daughter of Seán Lemass, the recently elected TD for Dublin South and future Taoiseach, and Kathleen Hughes. After completing her secondary education she was struck down with tuberculosis in 1943. After spending a year recovering in hospital, she later studied at University College Dublin (UCD) where she received a degree in commerce.

During her studies at UCD, she was introduced to Charles Haughey. They married on 18 September 1951. They had four children: Eimear, Conor, Ciarán and Seán.

Her husband was elected as a TD for Dublin North-East in 1957 before later serving in a range of ministerial positions including Justice, Agriculture, Finance and Health and Social Welfare. He was elected leader of Fianna Fáil and Taoiseach in 1979. During her time as wife to the Taoiseach she kept a low profile and had enjoyed a background role in her husbands' political career.

Maureen Haughey's brother Noel Lemass also served as a Fianna Fáil TD, while her sister-in-law, Eileen Lemass, also served as a member of Dáil Éireann. Her youngest son, Seán Haughey, has served as Lord Mayor of Dublin and was a TD and has previously been a Minister of State.

After stepping down as Taoiseach in 1992, Charles Haughey's retirement was dogged with controversy, with the Moriarty Tribunal investigating a series of payments that he received from senior businessmen over an 18-year period. At one stage, he faced criminal charges for obstructing the work of the tribunal. He was also found to have spent large sums of Fianna Fáil money on Charvet shirts and dinners at the exclusive Le Coq Hardi restaurant in Dublin. In May 1999, gossip columnist Terry Keane revealed on The Late Late Show that Charles Haughey had conducted a 27-year relationship with her.

Haughey was widowed on 13 June 2006, when her husband died of prostate cancer. They had been married for 55 years. In 2008, she left Abbeville, her home of 39 years. She died on 17 March 2017, aged 91.

O'nyong'nyong virus

The o'nyong'nyong virus (ONNV) was first isolated by researchers at the Uganda Virus Research Institute in Entebbe, Uganda, during a large outbreak of a disease in 1959 that resembled dengue fever. ONNV is a togavirus (family Togaviridae), genus Alphavirus, is closely related to the chikungunya and Igbo Ora viruses, and is a member of the Semliki Forest antigenic complex. The name was given to the disease by the Acholi tribe during the 1959 outbreak. The name comes from the Nilotic language of Uganda and Sudan and means "weakening of the joints". The virus can infect humans and may cause disease.

Signs and symptoms
Common symptoms of infection with the virus are polyarthritis, rash and fever. Other symptoms include eye pain, chest pain, lymphadenitis and lethargy. The disease is self-limiting. No fatalities due to infection are known.

Strains
ONNV has at least three major subtypes, or strains, the genomic sequences of which are currently available on genome databases.

Transmission
ONNV is transmitted by bites from an infected mosquito. It is the only virus whose primary vectors are anopheline mosquitoes (Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae).

Epidemiology
There have been two epidemics of o'nyong'nyong fever. The first occurred from 1959 to 1962, spreading from Uganda to Kenya, Tanzania, Zaire (Democratic Republic of the Congo), Malawi and Mozambique, and affecting over two million people, one of the largest arbovirus epidemics ever recorded. The first virus isolates were obtained during this outbreak from mosquitoes and human blood samples collected from Gulu in northern Uganda in 1959.

The second epidemic in 1996–1997 was confined to Uganda. The 35-year hiatus between the two outbreaks and evidence of an outbreak in 1904–1906 in Uganda indicate a 30–50 year cycle for epidemics.

In 2013, ONNV was confirmed as the cause of disease in a 60-year-old German woman who became infected while traveling in East Africa. In 2015–2016 there was a minor outbreak in Uganda with 51 suspected cases.

There has been a minor outbreak in Mombasa (Kenya) and the County Government of Mombasa issued a warning.

A 2015 study indicated that ONNV is endemic in coastal East Africa, along with chikungunya virus.

Chris Youngblood

Christopher Romero (February 10, 1966 – July 7, 2021) was an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Chris Youngblood. A second generation wrestler, he was the son of Ricky Romero and the brother of Mark and Jay Youngblood.

Early career
Chris Romero was the son of Ricky Romero. He began his pro-wrestling training at the age of 13 and made his professional debut as Chris Youngblood in 1985. He started teaming with brother Mark in 1986 upon their older brother Jay's death.

Chris and Mark had success in the World Class Championship Wrestling, World Wrestling Council and also as The Tribal Nation in the Global Wrestling Federation and the United States Wrestling Association. In the USWA, Chris turned heel and wrestled for manager Skandor Akbar's "Devastation Inc." as Pronto. During this time Chris had a feud with a young up and coming Stone Cold Steve Austin.

World Wrestling Council
Chris and Mark had a very successful run in being one of the most popular tag teams in Puerto Rico's World Wrestling Council and added numerous Tag Title reigns under their belts. But on July 17, 1988, The Romeros were in the locker room when a wrestler named José Huertas stabbed and killed Bruiser Brody. Huertas went to trial but did not do any jail time for the crime. The WWC did nothing to help convict Huertas and The Romeros left the WWC right after the incident and went on to sign with Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling where he and Mark were known as "The Renegade Warriors". The two were frequently used on WCW TV and had numerous feuds with The Steiner Brothers and The Road Warriors.

Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling
In the late 1990s Chris began using the name "The Visionary" Chris Romero. Chris completed many Japanese tours as a singles competitor where he gained victories over ECW's own, Rob Van Dam. Chris later formed a Tag Team in Japan's Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling with "Super" Leatherface. The team got notable wins over Tag Teams like Jado and Gedo, and Masato Tanaka and Tetsuhiro Kuroda. The two were constant top runners for the FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles until Chris went into semi-retirement in late 1999 due to a hip injury.

Semi-retirement
Chris worked in numerous independent promotions across the State of Texas including the Texas-based NWA Southwest where Chris was at one point in top contention for the NWA Texas Heavyweight Championship. During that time, he also teamed up with his nephew "Radical" Ricky Romero III against numerous teams including The Lone Star Connection. In 2005, Chris began booking shows and wrestling part-time for Panhandle Wrestling Federation, later renamed West Texas Wrestling Legends, an independent promotion exclusive to Amarillo, Texas. In 2006, World Wrestling Entertainment showed interest in hiring Chris as a Producer for training and scouting talent.

A few months later in April 2007, Chris began running Romero Academy of Wrestling out of the Amarillo-based Wrestleplex. The Wrestleplex was also home to the newly renamed Professional Wrestling Federation (formerly known as West Texas Wrestling Legends) where Chris was also the booker and manager to a stable known as "Bloodline". Bloodline was the first stable of its kind consisting only of second and third generation superstars "Radical" Ricky Romero III, Cody Jones and Mike DiBiase Jr. Then four months after PWF's resurrection, Chris Romero resigned from the promotion on August 14, 2007. With him he took the top tier title of the PWF, the West Texas Wrestling Legends Heritage Championship, which he owned. A couple of weeks after leaving PWF, Chris made a rare wrestling appearance on August 29, 2007, in Socorro, New Mexico, at New Mexico Tech for the locally based L.A.W where he defeated up and comer Nick A. Demus in a match that saw Chris seriously injure his knee.

Chris Romero continued to run Romero Academy of Wrestling, now ROW 101 until his death, and started his own independent wrestling promotion named Renegade Outlaw Wrestling, which has been running shows every even numbered Friday night in the Historic NAT Ballroom in Amarillo, Texas since October 2007.

He continued to work in the independent circuit. On June 28, 2011, he lost to the Cuban Assassin for FUW in Largo, Florida. He reunited with his brother, Mark in 2019 teaming together in Puerto Rico.

Death
Romero died on July 7, 2021, at the age of 55.

Live Oak Boys

The Live Oak Boys was an Irish-American street gang who dominated New Orleans throughout the 1860s and 70s.

Led by "Red" Bill Wilson, the Live Oak Boys were formed in 1858. Their name derived from the oaken clubs that were their weapon of choice. They were less well-organized than similar Irish mob families in the Five Points and Live Oak Boys often kept for themselves whatever money or goods they could steal. This often led to infighting among the group's members; the stealing of each other's loot and at times even killings of other members, such as the 1867 murder of Henry Thompson by Jimmy O'Brien.

Based on Gallatin Street, the gang would be hired out by seemingly respectable businessmen during the Gilded Age to commit assault, arson, and other acts of vandalism against competitors. Dance halls were frequent targets, the Fireproof Coffee-House being one popular dance hall hangout owned by former gang member Bill Swan.

The gang continued to dominate New Orleans for more than a decade. However, many members were eventually killed or imprisoned during the 1870s, and by 1880 the gang had declined to the point where they were often persecuted by younger members of other New Orleans gangs. The Live Oak Boys disappeared shortly after.

Talk:Norwich School, Norwich

Neutrality
This wiki page does not exactly appear to be objective and appears to be an advert for Norwich School. Note:

"Commercial bias, including advertising, coverage of political campaigns in such a way as to favor corporate interests, and the reporting of issues to favor the interests of the owners of the news media." - Wikipedia Guidelines

I'll try to put some more content into this article in the next few days, as well as taking a few photos. Will. June 15, 2005.

I don't think you can really say NS is the 'primary' private education provider in Norfolk. It comes second each year to Norwich High School. Anna.

Second at what?

Nothing. Norwich School consistently comes out on top.

I agree. Norwich School consistently beats Norwich High in terms of almost all academic and sporting measures.

___

Debatable.

Opus Dei
Is FJM really in Opus Dei?

He most certainly is.

Tim Westwood
He did attend Norwich School as it states on his wiki article, despite his claims to the contrary, before moving to the Hewitt. Do not change.

Statistics on schooling
There are substantial statistics available on schooling in Norfolk which should be able to resolve many of the questions people have raised:

Gabrielsimon has progressed to removing comments off the talk page that he doesn't like and removing part of the evidence section of the RfC against him. I was hoping you could help watch him and make sure he doesn't do it. Tracing it back and undoing it is getting complicated for me. DreamGuy 18:21, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

 * I'll see what I can do. This whole mess is a very unpleasant diversion for me, but it's important that the community standards be upheld. Parker Whittle 20:26, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

="witches"= i stil conrtend that witches in the european sense, did not exist in north america until europeans arrived...  and as for  how they were dealt with, traditionally excecuting people comes from europe, in native america, the worst that can happen to you is banishment. ( for the regions we are speaking of) Gabrielsimon 05:05, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I understand, Gabriel, and I sympathize with the trust you place in the oral histories you cherish. If you can find works by cultural anthropologists (or other scholars) who have documented the oral histories of your people, you should definitely cite them. I know that you don't mean to come off as belligerent, and I hope you have better luck in the future. The best advice you've been given is to study and understand the policies.

okay. check out mystisism for a n editwherei wasnt reverted forever. :) Gabrielsimon 05:24, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I wasn't kidding
I'll drop the sockpuppet thing on the RFC page for now since it's probably not helping. But just so you know, the similiarities are IMO astounding. This new user jumped right into the same fights the other user had been in. This seems rather informative. However, you make a good point, and in the interest of good faith I've apologized to the new user and advised him not to worry at all about other editors or their RFCs. Sorry if I've over-reacted; I'm actually rooting for GS to come out of his RFAr without a ban. However this latest may well hurt (or kill) his chances, IF puppetry is really happening. Friday 20:08, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Doh! I truned myself into a liar about not posting on this topic anymore on the RFC page. However I felt it best to clarify my thinking.  Anyway, thanks for trying to keep people from jumping to conclusions.  Altho the evidence seems strong to me, you're absolutely correct that we need to assume good faith on the part of the new user.  Friday 20:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

droiving away
looks liek Dreamguy and others drove Ketrovin away, if you look at the last thing on his talk page. Gabrielsimon 23:42, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

bowing out
was it something I said? FuelWagon 21:19, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * No worries, FuelWagon, I respect your edits, and I support your position. I just don't feel like I'm contributing meaningfully to the discussion, anymore. We have an editor that seems to be in fight-or-flight mode, and I'm hoping that it might calm things down if I'm not involved. --Parker Whittle 21:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * OK. just checking. Sometimes I can overdo it. I'm trying not to overdo it, but sometimes I do. ;/ Anyway, if nothing else, I'll call you on the bat phone if there's trouble in gotham city. ;)  FuelWagon 02:06, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Religion and schizotypy
You wrote the following:
 * "I've dug up some good primary and secondary (reputable) sources on the link between schizotypy and religious belief, spiritual experience, and what not. I've offered to clean it up in the comments attached to my vote, above. Either way the vote goes, the info will find a home. Parker Whittle 04:12, 8 August 2005 (UTC)"

Is this statement no longer operative? Hipocrite 14:11, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It is still operative. I've completed reviewing the research that I found, and I'm well along in the notes compilation stage. I've recently been embroiled in the conflict at Creation science, but I am definitely still working on the Religion and schizotypy article. --Parker Whittle 14:56, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Another week has no passed, and you have mentined no good primary and secondary (reputable) sources on this article. Is yout statement of 8 August, 2005 (which is now 11 days old) no longer operative? Hipocrite 15:30, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I'm basically going to rewrite the article completely. I've got research from Pizzigalli, Mohr, Burns, a charming study from Goulding, Muris, a nice speculative essay by Montell published in Evolution and Cognition, among others. I may try to work in some of Persinger's work, or derivatives of it. The journals in which this research was published include: Psychopathology, Behavioral and Brain Sciences, British Journal of Clinical Psychology, and (for good measure :-) European Journal of Parapsychology (actually a fairly interesting study tying Magical Ideation Scale, belief in paranormal abilities, and schizotypy). It's turning into quite a project. Perhaps I'll archive the page under my user page while I work on this.—Parker Whittle 16:40, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Columbus vs. King Ferdinand
You are of course correct that what Columbus and King Ferdinand's professors at the University of Salamanca disagreed about was not the shape of the Earth but its size. The idea that the professors said it was flat is a literary myth invented by Washington Irving. All educated people in 1486 knew that the Earth was round. The professors thought that its circumference was approximately 24,000 miles, based on Greek astronomy, which was essentially correct. Columbus, as you note, thought that its circumference was 15,000 miles. The fact that he found land, however, is not just fortuitous. He really did know where the land was. He knew where the Vikings had found Vinland. He just thought that Vinland was Siberia.

The shape of northern North America and the shape of northern Asia are similar. Both go from southwest to northeast. He had recomputed the size of the Earth because he knew where the land was.

Columbus was wrong. But he was also right. The professors were scientifically right, and Irving did them a disservice. Robert McClenon 08:24, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Bensaccount RFC
request for comments FuelWagon 03:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * You may want to double-check your comment. Either I'm reading it wrong, or there is a word missing somewhere. FuelWagon 17:39, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

I have withdrawn my certification of the RFC against Bensaccount and moved it to "endorse". He has stopped pushing the scientific point of view and I'm willing to wipe the slate clean. if an RFC isn't "certified" by two editors it will be deleted. Whether you change your vote is up to you. I'm just informing of my change. FuelWagon 06:03, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

If you recall the Bensaccount RfC
Hey, Parker, looks like you've been gone for a while. Not sure if you'll get this.

I've been RfC'd by SlimVirgin on violating Wikipedia is not a battleground. I've posted some information about how she injected herself into the Requests for comment/Bensaccount dispute after we requested that an admin delete the RfC. It is my opinion that she brought her dispute against me on into the Bensaccount RfC and that she made the Bensaccount RfC a battleground. I've posted a description of what I think happened around the Bensaccount RfC here []. Could you provide a comment of your view about what happened around the Bensaccount RfC. You can post it here Requests for comment/FuelWagon 2. Thanks. FuelWagon 18:26, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Gridlock (novel)

Gridlock is a 1991 novel by Ben Elton.

Plot summary
The novel depicts a near-future London in which traffic congestion has reached almost critical levels, such that accidents in a few key places could bring the entire city's traffic network to a halt. The government is aware of the problem and plans a major new road-building program to relieve the pressure. The alternative, heavy investment in public mass transport systems such as railways, is ignored because it clashes with the government's ideology. The author argues that this is a highly misguided policy since, in his view, more roads have historically tended to simply generate more traffic and so create an even bigger problem in the long run.

The climax of the book sees shadowy, possibly government-backed forces deliberately instigate the necessary simultaneous accidents which do indeed bring the whole of London to a standstill for several days. The resulting chaos is used as an excuse to press ahead with the road-building scheme.

Allusions/references to actual history, geography and current science
The novel is a satire of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government policies, which emphasised road traffic over rail or other public transportation.

Another major element in the novel revolves round a character with cerebral palsy – he is the inventor of a hydrogen-based power system for cars – green energy – that sinister forces, most likely representing the oil industry, seek to suppress. His disability is aggressive-sympathetically handled, for example he actively embraces the word 'spastic', claiming it back, taking it away from the term of abuse it had become (in the UK) at the time of publication.

Verisimilitude

In philosophy, verisimilitude (or truthlikeness) is the notion that some propositions are closer to being true than other propositions. The problem of verisimilitude is the problem of articulating what it takes for one false theory to be closer to the truth than another false theory.

This problem was central to the philosophy of Karl Popper, largely because Popper was among the first to affirm that truth is the aim of scientific inquiry while acknowledging that most of the greatest scientific theories in the history of science are, strictly speaking, false. If this long string of purportedly false theories is to constitute progress with respect to the goal of truth, then it must be at least possible for one false theory to be closer to the truth than others.

Karl Popper
Popper's formal definition of verisimilitude was challenged since 1974 by Pavel Tichý, John Henry Harris, and David Miller, who argued that Popper's definition has an unintended consequence: that no false theory can be closer to the truth than another. Popper himself stated: "I accepted the criticism of my definition within minutes of its presentation, wondering why I had not seen the mistake before." This result gave rise to a search for an account of verisimilitude that did not deem progress towards the truth an impossibility.

Post-Popperian theories
Theories proposed by David Miller and by Theo Kuipers build on Popper's approach, guided by the notion that truthlikeness is a function of a truth factor and a content factor. Others (e.g. those advanced by Gerhard Schurz in collaboration with Paul Weingartner, by Mortensen, and by Ken Gemes) are also inspired by Popper's approach but locate what they believe to be the error of Popper's proposal in his overly generous notion of content, or consequence, proposing instead that the consequences that contribute to closeness to truth must be, in a technical sense, "relevant". A different approach (already proposed by Tichý and Risto Hilpinen and developed especially by Ilkka Niiniluoto and Graham Oddie) takes the "likeness" in truthlikeness literally, holding that a proposition's likeness to the truth is a function of the overall likeness to the actual world of the possible worlds in which the proposition would be true. An attempt to use the notion of point-free metric space is proposed by Giangiacomo Gerla. There is currently a debate about whether or to what extent these different approaches to the concept are compatible.

Gridlock (game show)

Gridlock was an Irish television game show, hosted by Derek Mooney, that premiered on RTÉ on September 14, 1998. Gridlock replaced the long-running series Blackboard Jungle, which was hosted by Ray D'Arcy.

The show lasted only one season. There were three teams of two people, each team representing a secondary school. One player on each team would answer general knowledge questions, while the other would try to achieve "gridlock" on a puzzle diagram.

USA Biolympiad

The USA Biolympiad (USABO), formerly called the USA Biology Olympiad before January 1, 2020, is a national competition sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Education to select the competitors for the International Biology Olympiad. Each year, twenty National Finalists gather at a nationally recognized institution for a two-week training camp. From the program's inception through 2009, the camp was held at George Mason University; from 2010 through 2015, the camp was held at Purdue University. It was then hosted at Marymount University for 2016 and 2017. As of 2018, it is being held at University of California, San Diego. At the end of the two weeks, four students are selected to represent the United States at the International Biology Olympiad.

History
The USA Biolympiad was first started in 2002, with nearly 10,000 students competing annually. Ever since the CEE (Center for Excellence in Education) started to administer the USABO exam, all four members of the Team USA in the years 2004, 2007-2009, 2011-2013, 2015, and 2017 were awarded gold medals in the International Biology Olympiad, with the US National Team able to accrue the most medals and subsequently win the IBO in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017, partly due to the rigorous selection process students undergo to compete in the IBO for the US. The USABO exam was held online in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Organization and examination structure
USABO finalists are selected in two rounds of tests. The open exam is a 50-minute multiple-choice exam open to all high school students, who register through their school or an authorized USABO center. This exam is normally administered during the first week of February, though the exact test time may vary from year to year. During this round, there is no penalty for wrong answers, but students may only select one of the four or five choices for each question.

The top 500 students on the open exam, or roughly 10% of all participating students, advance to the semi-final round, which will be administered in March. This second exam consists of a 120-minute long test, subdivided into two multiple-choice sections and one free response section. Part A of the exam is primarily multiple choice questions with one answer. Part B has more complex, sequenced multiple choice questions that may have several correct answers and may require calculations or extensive interpretation of graphs and multiple true/false choice questions, while Part C normally takes the form of short answers or an extended essay.

The final round of the USABO takes place as a national finals round, attended by the 20 top-scoring students on the Semifinal Exam. Students may take a 24-hour leave to return home for graduation purposes, as the CEE recognizes that the dates of the National Finals may conflict with high school graduation.

During the first ten days of instruction, university professors and experts in research and undergraduate/graduate teaching will be assisted by former USABO Finalists in teaching laboratory techniques and conceptual understanding to the finalists. After the ten days of instruction, a 9-hour long exam occurs, with students required to take the exams on the scheduled dates. This exam is divided into two sections: a 6 hour long practical exam and a 3-hour theoretical exam containing true/false questions and multiple choice questions. The scores from the two exams are combined to form a comprehensive ranking, with the 9th-12th placed finalists receiving a bronze medal, the 5th-8th placed finalists receiving a Silver medal, and the 1st-4th placed medalists receiving a Gold medal, and the chance to compete on the US national team in the IBO.
