Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Feeder Gigs 1996

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was - deleted - SimonP 00:31, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Feeder Gigs 1996 and Feeder Gigs 1995
Whilst Feeder are a noticable band in the UK, storing information on all their gigs is going too far, IMO. No other band I can think of has such a record on Wiki, and I can see no good reason for there to be one. So for these reasons, I see this as non-encyclopaedic --Kel-nage 00:15, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Note: vfd for Feeder Gigs 1995 now redirects here. I can see no logic behind keeping them both --Kel-nage 00:19, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Gig schedules belong on overpriced T-shirts, not Wikipedia. Meelar (talk) 14:19, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Gigs from 10 years ago? Small notability problem. --Scimitar 15:36, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, to be fair, they haven't been notable in the US since 1995-1996. --Badlydrawnjeff 16:45, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This isn't really about how notable the band are, more their gigs and when they were. I can't imagine anyone looking through this who didn't first look at a fansite. As I said originally, non-encyclopaedic. Kel-nage 18:03, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. — Phil Welch 00:12, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unnecessary list really however if someone wants to create some kind of omnibus article about their gigs then I'd keep that. -- Lochaber 13:18, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages.  Please do not edit this page .

Talk:Habitat for Humanity

Untitled
uhh let's get a wikipedia discussion o HFHI. i'm doing it for a socials project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.85.199.58 (talk) 00:16, 2 June 2005 (UTC)

 * What aspects are you looking to learn more about? --MC MasterChef 00:52, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Criticism Section
It would appear the Criticism section is over the top and not in line with neutral POV. In particular the quote "don't act poor or grateful enough" is just from a cited article and not attributed to anyone at Habitat. Also the income ranges were based on showing only the high range - it seems very slanted. This area could be improved - it just regurgitates a negative article. Claygate 01:13, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Portions of the criticism section are also literally cut-and-pasted from the two articles cited. I attempted to rewrite some of the section, removing some parts, and did a little bit of minor reorganization, but more needs to be said in the other areas of the article to balance this out, I believe. There is plenty more to be said about the history of the organization, its leadership (Millard did more than just get fired), and more. Does anyone know any other third-party sources that report on Habitat that could be used to gauge its effectiveness and/or reputation as an international charity? — MC MasterChef  ::  Leave a tip — 07:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I do have some more stats I can add to this re: HFHI's effectiveness. We also ought to describe the affiliate/federated model; I find this a common misunderstanding when people discuss HFHI/Habitat affiliates. It would probably be prudent to add to the Sexual misconduct section the fact that an expensive and thorough investigation by a third party hired by the board of directors found no credible proof of Fuller's alleged misconduct in 2003. I have some more info on this in various emails and memos I received as an intern last year...I'll get them together and rough something up in the near future. Justinlaine 03:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Recent 'Anderson Gardens' criticism is over the top and non-nuetral POV. I have tried to improve it, although a case can be made for deletion. This story is still developing and hopefully someone informed and with better perspective will rewrite it. Cuvtixo 17:25, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't the 'Anderson Gardens' situation apply more to the local (Edmonton) affiliate, and not to HFHI? I would think that entire section could be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Reading the Criticism section for the first time, it strikes me as needing the NPOV tag as it's suffering from a lack of NPOV, and from what I've read in this discussion, changes to it have been outstanding. It really needs a rewrite and I'm willing to work on it over this weekend, but I do believe a tag is needed. To0n 20:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

HfHI International Family Selection
With two thirds of the building that HFHI does taking place overseas, most of this article talks about the American aspects of HfHI. Does anyone know/want to research how, say family selection takes place in other parts of the world? Do they run credit checks on Habitat families in, say, Afghanistan? There's some mention about the differences in house types internationally, but I'd imagine the whole program would be pretty different.

Also, are the international affiliates in third world countries run locally (as they are in the U.S.) or are they puppet organisations of developed countries?

I'm sure there's a whole host of other differences. This was the one glaring hole in an otherwise good article.

Sparsefarce 21:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I will try to add more info on International's practices, but international houses are built by offices located within the region they are building. For example, there is a Central Asia and Eastern Europe office in Slovakia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.146.63 (talk) 01:20, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Habitat for Humanity
I reverted your edit to the HfH article under reStores. I'm sure some reStores accept upholstered furniture. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. Sparsefarce 20:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

According to some ReStore paperwork from the HfH office they are not supposed to accept upholsered furniture, because of smells and lack of appropriate storage facility in some warehouses.

--Mustafarox 21:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Some Habitat ReStores do sell upholstered furniture. I have been in ReStores that sell upholstered furniture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.146.63 (talk) 01:14, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I am a staff member with a Habitat affiliate in the U.S. and many ReStores do sell furniture. It is up to each affiliate (and thus their board and staff leaders) to determine exactly what criteria they will use regarding what they will sell, just as it is up to each affiliate to set the number of sweat equity hours that partner families will do. Some area do well selling furniture and some do not. Kcmandy (talk) 19:49, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Habitat for humanity.svg
Image:Habitat for humanity.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Criticism and NPOV
The criticism section is completely absurd. HFH is based on the idea that they are giving people a "hand UP, not a handOUT." While the composer of that section may feel that the organization could use its resources differently, it has no place whatsoever in the article, and seems to be ideological grandstanding. Quigonpaj (talk) 05:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm doing NPOV cleanup. It is my feeling that the critisism portion is neutral and unbiased, but I'm not removing the tag for that reason. I'm removing it because the editor who put it did not post his reasons clearly on the discussion page, permitting discussion and dispute resolution. In fact, they did not post at all. If anyone wishes to return the tag and post their reasoning and suggestions for improvement clearly, then of course they may do so. Drive-by tagging is against WP policy. Comments here or to my talk page. Jjdon (talk) 23:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Family focus?
What I know of Habitat suggests that part of the idea is to promote better family life, but nowhere have I seen it explicitly discussed that the program is designed only for family housing, or that single-person households or other groupings of people would not qualify for housing from Habitat. Neither the Habitat website nor this article clears up my confusion on the matter. They both seem to say (and the name of the organization itself implies) that the intent of Habitat for Humanity is to provide affordable housing to anyone who needs it, but whenever the potential or eventual tenants are discussed, the word "family" inevitably comes up. Does the program only apply to families, and if so, has there been any criticism of this? B7T (talk) 18:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I am a staff member at a US Habitat affiliate, and I hope I can address your question. There is nothing that says that is must be a family that is in our program. However, we are a "need-based" program and when it comes to assessing need, it is often determined that someone with children would be in more need of decent housing than a single person (granted, this depends greatly on the specifics of their particular case and current living situation). Our ultimate goal, as stated on HFHI publications, is "to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by constructing and building adequate and basic housing. Furthermore, all our words and actions are for the ultimate purpose of putting shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful way that poverty housing and homelessness become socially, politically, and religiously unacceptable in our nations and world." It does not specify who we serve and how we serve them in this statement, but I know it greatly varies with each individual affilaite. Here in the US we don't deal so much with the homeless, and while most of our homeowners are people with families, there are single persons who also receive housing through our programs. Kcmandy (talk) 19:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

HFH Mission Statement
The article states "The mission statement of Habitat for Humanity is to "seek to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action."[1]" but this is incorrect. According to http://www.habitat.org/how/mission_statement.aspx HFH's mission statement is "Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope." I can change the words but couldn't figure out how to change the reference. I looked at Wikipedia's instructions on citing sources, but still couldn't figure it out. Could a more Wikipedia savvy user either change the mission statement/reference or post a link to a step-by-step on how to do so? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.39.12.245 (talk) 13:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

History section?
I find it odd and troubling that this page doesn't have a history section; normally, that would be section #1. 50.39.238.148 (talk) 06:47, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Mousesports
Hello, I looked at several articles about teams in the G7 Teams, and many of them have had trolls go after them, looking for deletion and merging with G7 Teams. I face a similar problem, because I sucessfully prevented a vandal Wikipedia user called TheRedPenOfDoom from convincing the administrators to delete the Mousesports page. Obviously, he doesn't just quit and he's now requesting it be merged with the G7 Teams page, just as the other teams have been requested in the past. Since you've contributed to this in the past, I was wondering whether or not you might like to comment on it in the Discussion page? I know you are more interested in military history, but I need a little bit of help, that's all. D arth B otto talk•cont 13:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Cyberathlete Professional League
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Cyberathlete Professional League. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Cyberathlete Professional League. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

communicat dispute
Thanks your offer to fix dubious sources, parity sourcing. You'll be wasting your time if you try uploading any marxist and/or left=leaning sources to balance POV in line with rules. This is a long story, going way back, and it also includes an AFD'd WW2-related article. The conservative milhist Old Guard at WW2 article are and have for a long time been very well entrenched, and they defend "their" ideologically clouded territory with every means possible against intruders with new ideas or ideas that deviate from the conservative mainstream. Have a look at the various threads, particularly under headings: WW2 origins of Cold War, Flawed Overview, Editing Dispute, Anti-Communist prejudice, Communist-led Resistance, etc. You will see that I took a lot of time and trouble to provide Soviet / Marxist / Western revisionist sources to support proposed edits and discussion. Those sources were instantly and rudely dismissed and rejected by the Old Guard, using stupid false pretexts like "can't be found", meaning presumably can't be found on internet, and too much trouble to visit any good university reference library.

Between the Lies is relevant only indirectly and to the extent that it provides a useful example of how just one apparently revisionist / leftleaning proposed link will come under very intense scrutiny and vetting for reliability etc, whereas clearly unreliable and/or biased mainstream sources are allowed to pass unchallenged and without scrutiny.

A clear and binding ruling must now first be obtained from wiki via mediation/arbitration before anyone wastes anymore time or effort (as I already have) trying to balance edits objectively and in line with stated policy.

If you really want to obtain that Winer book, why not just download it free of charge from the internet? More than two million interested parties have gone that route so far, as I've learnt through correspondence with Coldtype.net and others while doing research for a print-media article about free e-book downloads. You'll even find a pirated Chinese Mandarin translated online edition if you try hard enough.

Thnaks for your interest. Communicat (talk) 13:38, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

brutal korea apology
Sorry, I've figured out now what happened. I was working from a hardcopy that I'd printed out a few days earlier, without realising that the two refs had in the meantime been changed by someone for some strange reason by joining two the refs together. In short, my hardcopy was different from your onscreen version. Hence we were literally not on the same page. I can see now that one has to check for the very latest online version of anything before jumping to false conclusions. Learning curve. Communicat (talk) 00:17, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

506th links
Why change it back? I discussed the move with an admin, who agreed it was unnecessary disambiguation. There were 5 different redirects produced by previous page moves, which is utterly ridiculous. Unless and until there is another 506th Infantry Regiment, there is no need to add the (United States) qualifier. Two admins agreed with me, or the db-move would not have been performed. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive' 17:11, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The trouble is that every US military unit's page was changed to that format a few years ago and almost none of them have a need for the disambiguation. There was no need for it at the time, and there is no need for it now, but a decision was made back then to change all of them to include the disambiguation. We can, of course, go through every unit article and remove it where it is unneccessary, but I suspect that in another year or two, someone will consult two admins and decide that all of the articles need to have it placed in there again. Sounds like an awful waste of editing time to me. --Habap (talk) 17:59, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I found where the naming standard was defined in the manual of style, with the numerical designator causing these articles to fall into the 'pre-emptively disambiguated' category .

Re Moran
Thanks for contacting me on my talk page, rather than just reverting.

I'll point out that I'm an outsider, geographically at least, and came upon the article by chance. The reason I reverted wasn't so much about the controversy itself, which is probably quite notable enough to merit inclusion (I've a vague recollection of seeing it reported this side of the Atlantic). I just feel it is unbalanced. Without knowing the context of what Moran said, it is difficult to judge his intent, and the section doesn't provide this. Also, it seems distinctly POV to note Murray's 'challenge' regarding Arlington without indicating what the response might have been. I'd have thought that if the facts were as clear-cut as the section makes out, a more neutral tone would actually get the point across more effectively, as well as being more in the spirit of Wikipedia standards. AndyTheGrump (talk) 15:39, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I've responded to your post of 15:45 on my talk page - it will be simpler to discuss there than keep switching pages. AndyTheGrump (talk) 15:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Some clarification.
You recent edit demonstrates that you somewhat misunderstand the EEML issue. Petri had never been a member of the EEML. I would say, the opposite is true, he is among the most active and persistent opponents of this group of editors. In addition, by the time the conflict around the EEML issue was raging, he served a one year block for legal threat, so he simply physically was unable to be involved. The reason of my post is just to inform you about that.--Paul Siebert (talk) 22:44, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

your suggestion re RFC - communicat
Hi, Thanks for your suggestion noted. There are actually multiple issues, with multiple noticeboards, so if this is to be done properly, I'd have to fight the action on several fronts simulataneously. Which I'm no longer prepared to do.

In the meantime, as far as I'm concerned, for all practical purposes, and despite arbcom rejection, the main dispute has resolved itself. For the past two weeks since the filing Arbcom request, there has been no further harrassment, edit warring and disruption of my edits. Thanks for your interest.

Civil Rights Movement
Hi, in my comment at Talk:African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968) I've informally suggested Civil Rights Movement (United States, 1955–1968) (etc.) as an alternative. What do you think of that? (replying there, if you choose to reply, would be preferable to me - thanks). --Born2cycle (talk) 17:58, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Multi Gaming Clan
Hi mate, I didnt know that someone had tried to create a page on multi gaming clans thats why I started one. Feel free to give me a hand as I would love to keep this page on wiki as its my first atempt of making a page :) I have more info to add to the page and I'm sure if a couple of people help me out we can keep the page active and keep updating it with current events and information on the subject.

Multi gaming is getting more know and played (if thats the right wording?) so I think we have a good chance of being able to keep a page of its own now :) GSL-Nathan (talk) 16:25, 10 December 2010 (UTC) P.S. New to all this message stuff on here so I hope I did it right?
 * Yes, you did it right. What I was trying to say is that there is not enough difference between what appears in Clan (computer gaming) and what would go into Multi Gaming Clan, and Multi Gaming Clan is not a term used by the media (newspapers, web pages, books, etc), so the article would be likely deleted. --Habap (talk) 17:52, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

CCI
Hi Habap, I've opened a CCI concerning Communicat's edits at WP:CCI. Please note that I'm going to be out of town for the next day and a bit and so won't be able to respond to any questions about it - could you please keep an eye on the discussions there? Thanks, Nick-D (talk) 22:46, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Saw your notes on what parts of Aftermath of WWII were plagiarism and removed the offending sentences. Thanks for spotting this. Edward321 (talk) 01:04, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

 * While the plagiarism flabbergasted me, it explains why Communicat had little idea about the contradictions in "his" sources and why he had to admit to never having read Wigfall Green for example. I will add to the CCI as I can - I am mighty busy the next few days also. --Habap (talk) 03:03, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Given that the matter is currently the subject of arbitration, it might be best for us involved parties to take a step back from the CCI so that uninvolved editors can confirm the copyvios. That said, given how blatant the copyvios are it doesn't really matter. Nick-D (talk) 02:13, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: Nazi
I did not know that you were the one making the edits that I reverted. I'm sorry. Also, I even specified that some of the edits were made by Communists.

Communicat's Barnstar promise
I'm not holding my breath. Edward321 (talk) 00:33, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not surprised that I assure you I've studied the references diligently, and I know what I'm talking about. is inaccurate. You deserve a barnstar for sure, if not one for each such source. --Habap (talk) 02:50, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Paragon (guild)
Sorry, didn't quite finish my edit. Was supposed to be about competition, which was why Ensidia (although, yes, it should have been http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/03/26/paragon-scores-world-first-heroic-fall-of-the-lich-king/ which is more directly addressing Paragon's first instead of Ensidia's "first/disqualified") and the fluctuating rankings note was there (not just purely for the fact that the rankings change, of course ;) ). Techhead7890 (talk) 00:25, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

 * You've done a lot to make the article better. I just don't know if it will be enough to make it notable. I hadn't realized it was only a few minutes after you'd written the sentence fragment, but wanted to make sure it didn't look sloppy as others checked it. Good luck! --Habap (talk) 02:03, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

The (nationalistic only) Russians
It's so sad that history has finally exposed a few nationalistic extremists (not all Russians) as Holocaust deniers! If you read Germany 1945, The Fall of Berlin 1945, and watch Auschwitz: Inside the Nazi State, you will understand what the Russians did to Jews, Poles, Russians, Communists, and other victims of the Nazis. You will also realize that the nationalistic Russians who deny the these crimes against Holocaust victims, immediately after the Holocaust (effectively a perpetuation), are Holocaust Deniers.

 * --Нэмка Алэкс/Nemka AlexTalk 01:24, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It doesn't surprise me at all that Russian nationalists would be Holocaust deniers. There is a long history of Anti-Semitism in Russia, as there is in most of Europe (I only saw most because I don't know whether there are countries without it). I studied the Soviet Union in college (back when it still existed), so am familiar with the history of Russia and this strain of nationalism. --Habap (talk) 14:37, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Clarification
Good day, Arequest for clarification has been filed with Arbcom relative to a case in which you participated or might be affected by. Communikat (talk) 17:50, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Notes to self:
 * On never having claimed there was a cabal:
 * On the COI noticeboard, which it turns out was revealing an actual COI, since Communicat is who everyone thought he was:

Thank you for your comment on my essay; I'm always pleasantly surprised (and appreciative!) when people find the thing. I always hope it's helpful.

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Kiton

Kiton is an Italian fashion house founded by Ciro Paone in Arzano, NA 1968.

Founded in Arzano, Naples in 1968 by Ciro Paone, Kiton is an Italian clothing company with its roots in traditional Italian tailoring. By the end of 2022, Kiton had 60 monobrand stores and 300 wholesale accounts worldwide.

The company's slogan is Il meglio del meglio più uno ("the best of the best plus one").

Kiton operates five manufacturing facilities located in Arzano (for their primary production), Caserta (for sportswear), Parma (for outerwear), Fidenza (for knitwear), and Biella (for textiles). Kiton owns the Carlo Barbera fabric mill.

History
Kiton is the trademark brand of the company Ciro Paone SpA, a company founded in 1956. It was set up at Arzano, in the province of Naples, in 1968.

The name Kiton derives from the chiton ceremonial tunic worn by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The word chiton is derived from a Central Semitic language *kittān (e.g. Hebrew כֻּתֹּנֶת kuttṓnĕṯ), ultimately from a word for 'flax'.

In 1995, Kiton launched a line of womenswear. In 1999 Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, President of the Italian Republic, made Ciro Paone a member of the Order of Merit for Labour (Cavaliere del Lavoro).

In 2008, Ciro Paone purchased suits and other wardrobe items that once belonged to Edward VIII, the Duke of Windsor, from a 1998 Sotheby's auction. These items were later showcased by Paone at the Excelsior hotel in Florence, Italy, during the biannual Pitti Uomo menswear show. The display highlighted the historical sartorial elements Paone incorporated into his contemporary designs for Kiton suits.

In 2009, Kiton bought the Carlo Barbera woollen mill, which had been founded in 1949 in Biella. This allowed Kiton to work with delicate fibers such as viscose and create specialized yarns, dyes, and weaves.

In 2013, Kiton acquired Palazzo Ferré, a building on Via Pontaccio that was home to the Gianfranco Ferré label for 14 years. After the restoration, it was planned that the second floor would house Kiton's showroom and offices, while the first floor would become a tailor's shop.

In 2013, Kiton launched its retail operations in India. In 2015, Kiton launched its eyewear collection, and opened a 2,500-square-foot store in San Francisco. In 2017 to mark the opening of Pitti Immagine Uomo 91, Ciro Paone received the Pitti Immagine career award.

In 2018, Kiton launched an athleisure collection, called KNT (Kiton New Texture). The KNT brand is owned by twins Walter and Mariano de Matteis, the latest generation of the Kiton family. Also, in 2018, Sergio Mattarella, President of the Italian Republic, awarded Kiton the Premio Leonardo Qualità Italia.

Ciro Paone, the founder of Kiton, passed away at 88 in his home in Naples, Italy on October 27, 2021.

In 2022, Kiton announced a new collaboration with Beatrice Venezi. In July 2023, Kiton began dressing the team and players of the London club Tottenham Hotspur for official events.

In July 2023, Kiton opened a 350 sq m flagship store in Seoul in Cheongdam-dong.

School of Advanced Tailoring
In 2000, Kiton launched a training project with the foundation of the School of Advanced Tailoring, aimed at training new generations of tailors. Kiton developed this course with two main goals: to prepare young people to enter the labor market and to ensure that the workforce is constantly updated.

The majority of the students hail from Naples, though there are also applications from international students. Approximately 80% of these students secure employment with Kiton or at other companies.

The institution offers a three-year program aimed at training individuals between the ages of 16 and 21 for professional roles. The curriculum, delivered by in-house instructors, primarily focuses on jacket creation during the first two years. In the third year, students are encouraged to pick and delve deeper into a specific production stage.

Production
Kiton operates in the luxury goods sector and offers bespoke service, characterized by hand-cut and basted tailored suits, as well as ready-to-wear men's and women's garments.

Kiton maintains an integrated supply chain, with five company-owned factories:

 * Coats, jackets, shirts, ties, shoes, and small leather goods are produced at the company's headquarters in Arzano.
 * Leather and bomber jackets are crafted in Collecchio.
 * Knitwear originates from Fidenza.
 * Jeans are produced in Marcianise, in the province of Caserta.
 * Fabrics are processed and developed at Biella, Kiton's proprietary woolen mill.

As of the end of 2022, the company employs about 850 employees and sells its products in 73 countries, with over 60 monobrand stores and 300 wholesale accounts globally.

Antonio de Matteis (CEO)
Antonio de Matteis, the nephew of Ciro Paone, is the CEO and joint Creative Director of menswear at Kiton Group. Born in Naples in 1964, he started his career at Kiton under his uncle Ciro Paone, the founder of Kiton. In 1996, Antonio joined the Ciro Paone spa shareholder package, acquiring a 10% stake. By 2007, Ciro Paone appointed him as the CEO of the group. In 2018, Antonio initiated "Knt (Kiton new textures)", the first collection by his sons, Mariano and Walter De Matteis, representing the third generation of the Kiton family. In 2021–2022, Kiton saw a 60% increase in turnover, reaching €162 million.

Maria Giovanna Paone (president)
Maria Giovanna Paone, daughter of Ciro Paone, is the president and the creative director of the brand's womenswear.

Maria Giovanna joined Kiton in 1986 and, under her leadership in 1995, introduced a line of womenswear. Paone currently holds the positions of president and creative director of the womenswear division at Kiton. She is an advocate for slow fashion and has been instrumental in expanding the women's collection with new accessories. Under Paone, the women's collection emphasized tailored jackets suitable for a range of settings and customers. By 2013, womenswear accounted for 20% of Kiton's total growth, with a marked presence in international markets, including Japan, Korea, Canada, and the U.S. The line's success also led to the development of a women's accessories range. Paone recognized the growing interest of women in high-end tailoring, a field often associated with men. In recognition of her contributions to the fashion industry, Paone received the Italian Forbes CEO Award in the Fashion category in 2021.

Antonio Paone (president of Kiton USA)
Antonio Paone is the president of Kiton USA. He began his career at Kiton, working from the ground up, starting as a driver and later becoming a fabric scout across Europe. By 2004, he had risen to the role of commercial director and subsequently oversaw Kiton's US operations. Under his leadership, Kiton has expanded, notably with a new women's store on Madison Avenue, and he also spearheaded the growth of Sartorio Napoli, a Kiton family brand.

Behavioral sink

"Behavioral sink" is a term invented by ethologist John B. Calhoun to describe a collapse in behavior that can result from overpopulation. The term and concept derive from a series of over-population experiments Calhoun conducted on Norway rats between 1958 and 1962. In the experiments, Calhoun and his researchers created a series of "rat utopias" – enclosed spaces where rats were given unlimited access to food and water, enabling unfettered population growth. Calhoun coined the term "behavioral sink" in a February 1, 1962, Scientific American article titled "Population Density and Social Pathology" on the rat experiment. He would later perform similar experiments on mice, from 1968 to 1972.

Calhoun's work became used as an animal model of societal collapse, and his study has become a touchstone of urban sociology and psychology in general.

Experiments
In the 1962 study, Calhoun described the behavior as follows:

Calhoun's early experiments with rats were carried out on farmland at Rockville, Maryland, starting in 1947.

While Calhoun was working at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in 1954, he began numerous experiments with rats and mice. During his first tests, he placed around 32 to 56 rats in a 10 by(x) cage in a barn in Montgomery County. He separated the space into four rooms. Every room was specifically created to support a dozen matured brown Norwegian rats. Rats could maneuver between the rooms by using the ramps. Since Calhoun provided unlimited resources, such as water, food, and also protection from predators as well as from disease and weather, the rats were said to be in "rat utopia" or "mouse paradise", another psychologist explained.

Following his earlier experiments with rats, Calhoun later created his "Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice" in 1968: a 101 by(x) cage for mice with food and water replenished to support any increase in population, which took his experimental approach to its limits. In his most famous experiment in the series, "Universe 25", population peaked at 2,200 mice even though the habitat was built to tolerate a total population of 4000. Having reached a level of high population density, the mice began exhibiting a variety of abnormal, often destructive, behaviors including refusal to engage in courtship, and females abandoning their young. By the 600th day, the population was on its way to extinction. Though physically able to reproduce, the mice had lost the social skills required to mate.

Calhoun retired from NIMH in 1984, but continued to work on his research results until his death on September 7, 1995.

Explanation
The specific voluntary crowding of rats to which the term "behavioral sink" refers is thought to have resulted from the earlier involuntary crowding: individual rats became so used to the proximity of others while eating that they began to associate feeding with the company of other rats. Calhoun eventually found a way to prevent this by changing some of the settings and thereby decreased mortality somewhat, but the overall pathological consequences of overcrowding remained.

Further, researchers argued that "Calhoun's work was not simply about density in a physical sense, as number of individuals-per-square-unit-area, but was about degrees of social interaction." "Social density" appears to be key.

Applicability to humans
Calhoun had phrased much of his work in anthropomorphic terms, in a way that made his ideas highly accessible to a lay audience.

Calhoun himself saw the fate of the population of mice as a metaphor for the potential fate of humankind. He characterized the social breakdown as a "spiritual death", with reference to bodily death as the "second death" mentioned in the Biblical verse.

Controversy exists over the implications of the experiment. Psychologist Jonathan Freedman's experiment recruited high school and university students to carry out a series of experiments that measured the effects of density on human behavior. He measured their stress, discomfort, aggression, competitiveness, and general unpleasantness. He declared to have found no appreciable negative effects in 1975.

The 1962 Scientific American article came at a time when overpopulation had become a subject of great public interest, and had a considerable cultural influence. However, such discussions often oversimplified the original findings in various ways. It should however be noted that the work has another message than, for example, Paul Ehrlich's now widely disputed  book The Population Bomb.

Calhoun's worries primarily concerned a human population surge and a potentially independent increase in urbanization as an early stage of rendering much a given society functionally sterile. Under such circumstances society will move from some modality of overpopulation towards a much more irredeemable underpopulation. This has been seen in urban populations that have long been noted to have lower fertility than their rural counterparts, but growing use of especially digital media is likely to end up depressing rural population growth as well. As of today this primarily concerns elite population decline, but can due to positive feedback in social diffusion have Calhoun's empirical predictions apply to a much wider segment of society as well. For one, all this seems to hold up in the case of South Korea's unsustainably low total fertility rate, having already led to societal aging comparable with Calhoun's final cohort.

Bloomberg Television

Bloomberg Television (on-air as Bloomberg) is an American-based pay television network focusing on business and capital market programming, owned by diversified information and media private company Bloomberg L.P. It is distributed globally, reaching over 310 million homes worldwide. It is headquartered in New York City, with European headquarters in London and Asian headquarters in Marina Bay Financial Centre, Singapore and Pacific Place Jakarta, Sudirman Central Business District, Jakarta.

History
Bloomberg Television first launched in the United States in mid-1994 under the name Bloomberg Direct and was first carried on the then new satellite television service DirecTV. Within a year it was renamed Bloomberg Information TV, before it was shortened to its current name in 1997. The network has taken over the channel space of the-defunct Financial News Network, as well as hiring most of the former FNN workforce. Shortly after Bloomberg's launch, the now-defunct American Independent Network carried a simulcast of the channel at various times each weekday from 1995 to 1997, which was picked up by some broadcast stations in early morning periods to provide a de facto morning business show. Starting on July 1, 1995 the network's morning pre-opening bell programming (from 5:30 AM to 7 AM) was also aired on the USA Network, simulcast in a paid programming arrangement with the channel until 2004, when that network dropped the simulcast months before the NBCUniversal merger was consummated, due to concerns that USA would then air the coverage of a competitor to future sister network CNBC. The simulcast then moved to E! (which also became NBCUniversal-owned and sister network of CNBC in January 2011 due to that company's purchase by Comcast), where it remained until the simulcast ended in January 2009, when it was felt it had expanded digital cable footprint enough to discontinue the simulcast. During its time on E!, the 5–8 a.m. block was the most-watched period for the network, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Bloomberg Television's U.S. network debuted a new graphics package in January 2009. This current scheme was first used on the network's now-defunct pre-market program, Starting Bell, before the new graphics expanded to all of the network's programs on February 17, 2009. Also on that date, Bloomberg U.S. revamped its weekday programming lineup (see "Programs on Bloomberg" below).

In October 2009, Bloomberg Television debuted another new graphics package. In 2011, Bloomberg Television announced a strategic relationship with Gas Station TV (GSTV) to deliver personal finance and business news through the LCD screens beginning to proliferate fueling stations (currently, Cheddar is GSTV's business news provider).

Bloomberg launched a high definition simulcast feed on May 9, 2011, with Time Warner Cable as the first provider to carry it. In mid-April 2013, DirecTV started carrying Bloomberg HD.

As of July 2014, Bloomberg Television's standard-definition feed now shows a down-scaled version of its native HD feed, with the 16:9 letterbox picture on its 4:3 SD feed. In May 2020, the network launched a 2160p 4K feed, using the larger screen space to communicate more news and information; it is currently exclusive to Samsung TV Plus, an ad-supported streaming service.

International channels
In February 2009, Bloomberg Television announced that it would cease operating some of the international variations of the channel, placing a greater focus on a more international Bloomberg channel.

On March 9, 2009, the localized channels available in Germany, France, Italy and Spain ceased operations. Today, throughout Europe, the original pan-European version of Bloomberg Europe (International) is available on cable and digital television providers.

Since March 9, 2009, Bloomberg Television utilizes its existing international production teams in Marina Bay Financial Centre (Bloomberg Asia), Pacific Place Jakarta (Bloomberg Asia), Europe (Bloomberg Europe) and America (Bloomberg), adding a more global feel to the channel. Bloomberg International provides programming from Marina Bay Financial Centre and Pacific Place Jakarta in the early morning, produced by Bloomberg Asia (International), from London in the late morning, produced by Bloomberg Europe (International), and from its main headquarters in New York City in the afternoon. Each Bloomberg receives localized advertising and a relevant business news ticker on screen.

Bloomberg Japan ceased broadcasting on April 30, 2009. The channel was replaced by Bloomberg Asia (International). Bloomberg Japan's Japanese language print newsroom and website continue to operate as normal. In June 2009, the Japanese service began running small on-air segments in cooperation with BS-Fuji Television. In October 2009, segments produced with the Tokyo Broadcasting System were added. Bloomberg Brazil and Bloomberg Latin America were integrated into the global Bloomberg channel during 2009.

Bloomberg is an associate member of the Caribbean Cable & Telecommunications Association and the Caribbean Cable Cooperative.

In November 2011, Bloomberg announced the formation of Bloomberg TV Mongolia in partnership with Trade and Development Bank of Mongolia (TDB), the oldest and one of the largest commercial banks in Mongolia. The channel offers a mix of locally produced, Mongolian language content as well as English language news from Bloomberg Television.

In February 2015, Bloomberg partnered with Canadian media company Channel Zero to form Bloomberg TV Canada, which featured U.S. Bloomberg Television programming and Canadian-produced studio programs produced from Bloomberg's Brookfield Place studio and other Canadian bureaus. The channel replaced the U.S. service on Canadian television providers. The channel shut down in October 2017, after which Bloomberg entered into a partnership with Bell Media's Business News Network (BNN), to co-brand the channel as BNN Bloomberg, and grant the company rights to distribute its television and radio content in Canada. The co-branded service will augment BNN's existing business day programming with additional Bloomberg programs to handle coverage of international markets, and access to its bureaus.

Controversy
In the United Kingdom, Bloomberg Television was severely reprimanded for breach of Ofcom rules during the 2005 UK national (General) election. Bloomberg was found to have shown pro-Labour Party bias. This occurred because of a breach of British law. In the run up to a general election, television channels must provide equal time to all major political parties. Bloomberg covered the release by the Labour Party of their so-called "Business Manifesto", but did not provide counterbalancing air time to the Conservatives or Liberal Democrats.

Datascreen and news ticker
Bloomberg was well known for using a datascreen format that occupied most of the television screen and the camera shots. Until 1998, Bloomberg did not have a moving ticker. Instead, it had boxes that were dedicated to world news, as well as weather conditions in selected cities, in addition to market data which was confined to the bottom of the screen. This changed gradually to focus more on business news. The data screen was reformatted several times to include a moving stock ticker and accommodate new graphics.

The datascreen format was phased out in late 2007, where the programs were seen almost in full-screen with the ticker and headlines bar confined to the lower part of the screen. However, Bloomberg HD (available in the US only) features more data boxes on the right side of the screen compared to its SD counterpart. This effectively makes on-screen presentation on Bloomberg HD resemble the pre-2007 datascreen.

On Monday September 22, 2014, Bloomberg Television dropped the long-standing live stock ticker as part of the new on screen information format. No reason for this was given.

Other platforms
The widespread growth of mobile devices and social media have influenced sites such as Bloomberg to expand its news platforms into other areas. Bloomberg Television offers some off-air news updates via social media including Facebook, and Twitter. Rebroadcasts of news and other special programs are additionally aired on the station's official YouTube channel "Bloomberg Television". On mobile devices, Bloomberg Television released an app available for the iPad. It is also available for free viewing on Pluto TV streaming service.

As of February 2019, the audio simulcast of Bloomberg TV is distributed on Entercom's Radio.com website and app.

New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference

The New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) is an intercollegiate athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA's Division III. Member institutions are located in the northeastern United States in the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

History
The NEWMAC was established in 1998, when the former New England Women's 8 Conference (NEW 8) voted to begin sponsoring conference play and championships for men. At this time, the conference expanded its membership to include Springfield College and the United States Coast Guard Academy.

The NEW 8 began play in 1985-86 as the New England Women's 6 Conference (NEW 6). Charter members were Babson College, Brandeis University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Smith College, Wellesley College and Wheaton College. Mount Holyoke College and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) joined in 1988 and the name was changed to the NEW 8 Conference. At the conclusion of the 1994–95 academic year, Brandeis University withdrew from the NEW 8 to join the University Athletic Association (where its men's sports competed at that time) and Clark University accepted membership, keeping the NEW 8's membership at eight institutions.

In March 2012, NEWMAC announced the addition of Emerson College as the 11th full member of the league starting in the 2013–14 academic year. With the addition of Emerson the NEWMAC began re-sponsoring the sport of men's lacrosse, adding an affiliate member, Massachusetts Maritime Academy. In July 2012, the conference welcomed Simmons College as an affiliate member to compete in the sport of rowing.

In April 2015, the conference office announced it would begin sponsoring football in the 2017 season, with Maine Maritime Academy, the United States Merchant Marine Academy and Norwich University as affiliate members. On September 29, 2015, NEWMAC announced the addition of the Catholic University of America as another associate member in football effective July 1, 2017, and on June 23, 2021, the conference added the State University of New York Maritime College (SUNY Maritime) as its new football affiliate in 2023, leaving the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference after the 2022 season.

In February 2022, the Landmark Conference announced that it would begin sponsoring football starting in the 2023–24 season, thus football affiliate, the Catholic University of America, will depart after the 2022–23 season.

Talk:Local usage details

So, why local usage details... police don't care about long distance calls? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.95.103.98 (talk • contribs) 00:21, 2 June 2005 (UTC)

I thought that "local", was used here as it is in LAN for LOCAL Area Network. In other words LUDS contain records of ALL calls to local AND long distance number originating from the ("local") telephone number being investigated, or incoming calls to that number. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.220.239 (talk) 15:29, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
