Talk:Nikolai Morozov (revolutionary)

Old talk
Another Nikolai Morozov was responsible for the New Chronology but not this one. He was principly a physicist. The other Nikolai Morozov wrote his book in 1930, "Christ", and therefore could not be this one.

 * You are mistaken. The physicist Morozov and the "New Chronologer" Morozov are the same person. — Monedula 18:17, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Since no one has contradicted Monedula, & a Google search confirms his identification, I've removed the paragraph denying the identification. -- llywrch 17:49, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Scientific Work
The article covers only his work during the 18 hundreds. I've heard that he have done some stunning work in physics, even while in prison (he was apparently the only revolutionary to self a full 25 year sentence). He's even work with Kurchatov.

Sniper at age 88?
The stuff about him enlisting as a sniper in 1942 is described as mythology in the Russian Wikipedia, which states that this invention arose no earlier than 2007, and no corroborating documents exist of him ever enlisting to serve in WWII. Cheers, -- C opper K ettle  18:10, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Robert Guérin

Robert Guérin (28 April 1876 – 19 March 1952) (née Clément Auguste Maurice Robert ) was a French journalist, and the 1st President and one of the founders of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). A journalist with Le Matin newspaper, Guérin was actively involved in football through his role as secretary of the Football Department of the Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques. He brought together representatives of the first seven member countries in Paris for the signing of FIFA's foundation act and agreement of the first FIFA statutes. On 23 May 1904, Guérin (then just 28) was elected president at the inaugural FIFA Congress and remained in his post for two years, during which time another eight associations came on board, including the Football Association.

Fiona (singer)

Fiona Eileen Flanagan (born September 13, 1961), known professionally as Fiona, is an American rock singer and actress, best known as the love interest in the 1987 Bob Dylan vehicle Hearts of Fire.

Career
Fiona was born on September 13, 1961, in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, after her parents moved from Dublin, Ireland to the U.S.

At the age of 18, she moved to New York City, where she began her career as a singer in several bands. In the mid-1980s, she was signed to Atlantic Records. Her self-titled debut studio album was released in 1985. The album peaked at No. 71 on that year's Billboard 200 chart and remained charted for a week. The album's sole single, "Talk to Me", reached No. 12 and No. 64 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and Hot 100 charts respectively. That same year, she also guested on Aldo Nova's third studio album, Twitch. Around this time, Fiona made her acting debut in the Miami Vice second season episode "Little Miss Dangerous", first aired on January 31, 1986.

Her second studio album, Beyond the Pale, was released in 1986. That album spawned two singles: "Hopelessly Love You" and "Living in a Boy's World". In 1987, Fiona starred opposite Bob Dylan in the musical drama Hearts of Fire. Fiona sings the film's title-track which appears on the film's soundtrack, along with four previously unreleased songs by Fiona. Her third studio album, Heart Like a Gun, was released in 1989. That album also yielded two singles, "Where the Cowboys Go" and "Everything You Do (You're Sexing Me)", a duet with Kip Winger. She has since released two subsequent studio albums, 1992's Squeeze and 2011's Unbroken.

In addition to her own solo work, Fiona has also performed backing vocals for other artists including Warrant (on the Cherry Pie album).

Personal life
Fiona was once married to record producer Beau Hill, who produced, played some instruments on and sang backing vocals on some of her studio albums. Reb Beach of Winger performed on her second studio album Beyond the Pale (1986).

Since taking a break from music, Fiona has married for a second time and graduated from UCLA. She briefly worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers but resigned to have two children, daughter Owen and son Aidan.

George Bethune English

George Bethune English (March 7, 1787 – September 20, 1828) was an American adventurer, diplomat, soldier, and convert to Islam.

The oldest of four children, English was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he was baptized at Trinity Church on April 1, 1787. His father was Thomas English (1759-1839), a prominent merchant, agent and shipbuilder in Boston, and his mother was Penelope Bethune (1763-1819), daughter of George Bethune (1720-1785) and his wife Mary Faneuil (1732-1797), niece of Peter Faneuil.

He later attended Harvard College, where his dissertation won a Bowdoin Prize. While initially studying law, he received a Masters in theology in 1811. Like many Protestant divinity students of the time he studied the Pentateuch; unlike the others he also studied the Quran. During these studies, English became disillusioned and encountered doubts about Christian theology; he went on to publish his misgivings in a book entitled The Grounds of Christianity Examined, which earned him excommunication from the Church of Christ in 1814, and many negative responses. English addressed some of the criticisms and controversies caused by his first book in a second tract, "A Letter to the Reverend Mr. Cary," as well as in published responses to Unitarian leader William Ellery Channing's Two Sermons on Infidelity. Another rejoinder to his first book from former Harvard colleague, Edward Everett, entitled A Defence of Christianity Against the Works of George B. English would be replied to a decade later, after English's return from Egypt; it was titled Five Smooth Stones out of the Brook.

George English subsequently went "out west" (then Ohio and Indiana Territory) where he briefly edited a frontier newspaper, and settled as a member of the puritanical Harmonie Sect. During this time he may have learned the Cherokee language.

English was among the Marine Officers nominated by President James Madison on February 27, 1815,; he was commissioned a second lieutenant on March 1, 1815, in the United States Marine Corps and assigned to Marine Corps headquarters, as the War of 1812 ended. He then sailed to the Mediterranean, and was among the first citizens of the United States known to have visited Egypt. Shortly after arriving in Egypt he resigned his commission, converted to Islam and joined Muhammad Ali Pasha as the Topgi Bashi (chief of artillery) in an expedition up the Nile River against Sennar 1820, winning distinction as an officer of artillery. Some historians have noted that "there is a high probability that he became a secret agent" and that his service in Egypt was a part of that intelligence service. He published his Narrative of the Expedition to Dongola and Sennaar (London 1822) regarding his exploits.

After his work for Muhammad Ali Pasha, English worked in the Diplomatic Corps of the United States in the Levant, where he worked to secure a trade agreement between the United States and the Ottoman Empire, which had trade valued at nearly $800,000 in 1822. In 1827, he returned to the United States and died in Washington the next year.

There is no record of him marrying or having children.

Reb Beach

Richard Earl "Reb" Beach Jr. (born August 31, 1963) is an American rock guitarist. He is a member of the bands Winger and Whitesnake.

Career
After graduating from Fox Chapel Area High School and attending Berklee College of Music in the early 1980s, he played in Fiona's backing band and became an accomplished studio musician, working with the likes of Howard Jones, Chaka Khan, The Bee Gees, Twisted Sister, and Roger Daltrey, among others, showcasing Beach's ability to adapt to various musical styles.

While working with Fiona, he was introduced to Kip Winger, who was touring with Alice Cooper at the time. Eventually they formed the band Sahara along with Rod Morgenstein and Paul Taylor, which was later renamed to Winger.

Winger recorded and toured in support of three albums, Winger (1988), In the Heart of the Young (1990) and Pull (1993). The band also released a number of hit singles, including "Seventeen", "Madalaine", "Headed for a Heartbreak" and "Miles Away".

After Winger disbanded in the mid-1990s, Beach first joined Alice Cooper's band and later replaced George Lynch in the heavy metal band Dokken. With Dokken he recorded one studio album, titled Erase the Slate, and a live DVD, titled Live from the Sun.

He was also involved with Sega, as he recorded the soundtrack for the video game Daytona USA 2.

Since leaving Dokken, Beach has been a part of several different recording and touring projects. In addition to sporadic touring with Winger, he released a solo effort entitled Masquerade in 2002. Since 2002, he has been a member of David Coverdale's current incarnation of Whitesnake and has been the longest-serving guitarist/member of the band to this day, excluding Coverdale.

A "supergroup" project called The Mob with King's X frontman dUg Pinnick and Night Ranger drummer Kelly Keagy resulted in a single self-titled album, released in 2005.

A reformed Winger released their first studio recording in over a decade, IV, in 2006.

He replaced Jeff Watson in Night Ranger for a series of dates in Japan and the US, but announced his departure in January 2008.

He splits his time between Winger and Whitesnake, recording Better Days Comin' in 2014 with the former band, and The Purple Album with the latter in 2015. He continues to tour with both acts.

According to bandmate Kip Winger, Reb is quite adept at coming up with multiple rock riffs at a time, though he is often unable to remember them later.

Ibanez guitars produced his signature RBM models (stands for Reb Beach Model) in the early 1990s. On the 2005 Whitesnake reunion tour, he primarily used custom models by luthier Suhr Guitars.

In 2023, Winger released its seventh studio album, Seven (Winger album).

Brønsted catalysis equation

The Brønsted catalysis equation or law of correlation, after Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted, gives the relationship between acid strength and catalytic activity in general acid catalysis.

 * $$\log k = \alpha*\log(K_a) + C$$

A plot of the common logarithm of the reaction rate constant k versus the logarithm of the ionization constant Ka for a series of acids (for example a group of substituted phenols or carboxylic acids) gives a straight line with slope α and intercept C. The Brønsted equation is a free-energy relationship. The relationship implies that the Gibbs free energy for proton dissociation is proportional to the activation energy for the catalytic step. When the relationship is not linear, the chosen group of catalysts do not operate through the same reaction mechanism.

Specific and general catalysis is also found in base catalysed reactions and base Brønsted equation also exists with constant β.

The Brønsted equation gives information about a reaction mechanism. Reactions that have low values for proportionality constants α or β are considered to have a transition state closely resembling the reactant with little proton transfer. With a high value, proton transfer in the transition state is almost complete. In a study of a group of phenalene compounds it was concluded from Brønsted analysis that phenalene acidity is very different from either indene acidity or phenylene acidity.

Daniel Burley Woolfall

Daniel Burley Woolfall (15 June 1852 – 24 October 1918 ) was an English football executive and the second president of FIFA.

An English Football Association administrator from Blackburn, Woolfall was elected as president on 4 June 1906. A key aim during his presidency was to achieve uniform football rules on an international level and he played a prominent role in the drafting of FIFA's new constitution. Under Woolfall, the application of the Laws of the Game, established under the English model, became compulsory and a clear definition was made of international matches. Two years after assuming the presidency, he helped to organise the first noteworthy international football competition, the 1908 Olympic Games in London. His tenure as president brought the arrival of FIFA's first non-European members in South Africa, Argentina, Chile and the United States but was interrupted by the outbreak of the First World War. Woolfall's presidency ended with his death in October 1918.

Speedy deletion of Atlanta Wind Symphony
A tag has been placed on Atlanta Wind Symphony requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Virginia State Route 27

State Route 27 (SR 27) is a freeway in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States, known as Washington Boulevard. It was built during World War II to connect the Pentagon with U.S. Route 50 (US 50) and northern Arlington to the west and Washington, D.C., to the east. Its 2.54 mi route parallels the southern boundaries of Arlington National Cemetery. At its southernmost point, Route 27 passes through a complex interchange with Interstate 395 (I-395, Shirley Highway). called the "Mixing Bowl," although local motorists more recently use that term also to refer to the Springfield Interchange on the Capital Beltway in Springfield. It is an important commuter route as well as providing access to a number of military installations, the cemetery and national memorials. Because Route 27 is the closest road to the site of the September 11 attack on the Pentagon, the route has been designated the "9/11 Heroes Memorial Highway."

Route description
Route 27 begins at an interchange with US 50. It then has an interchange with 2nd Street South, which serves as an entrance to Fort Myer. The next interchange with Route 244 offers a very short merge area because of the proximity to the exit ramps to I-395 and Arlington Ridge Road. The Mixing Bowl is the first interchange in Northern Virginia with a three level bridge—ramp from I-395 to westbound Route 27 on the lowest level, eastbound Route 27 to Mixing Bowl in the middle; and southbound I-395 on top. In 1970 this was followed by a second three level stack—Joyce Street South on the lowest level, eastbound Route 27 on the middle bridge and I-395 on the top level.

At this point, Route 27 becomes a part of the collector lanes and ramps of the Mixing Bowl until its second interchange with Route 244. Also, coincident with the second Route 244 interchange, Route 27 is the northern terminus of the reversible high occupancy vehicle lanes of I-395. The westbound entrance to these lanes have a series of manually closed barriers to prevent an accidental oncoming collision during the hours each day when traffic flows to the east on the HOV lanes. The final interchange in Virginia accesses Route 110, the Pentagon North Parking Lot and Boundary Channel Drive. Although the ramp from eastbound Route 27 to northbound Route 110 is open to the public, it is on the Pentagon Reservation and is patrolled by the Pentagon Police. The route ends at the Boundary Channel, which is the border with the District of Columbia.

Route 27 is closed for large events held at the Pentagon including the annual Marine Corps Marathon and the Army Ten-Miler. A number of points of interest are visible from the highway, including (from west to east) Fort Myer (which was the site of the first military test flight), Henderson Hall, the headquarters of the United States Marine Corps, the United States Air Force Memorial, the Pentagon, the Navy Annex, the Pentagon Memorial, the Pentagon City Mall, and Arlington National Cemetery.

History
The road was constructed as a part of the Pentagon Road Network during World War II to provide access to the newly constructed War Department headquarters buildings. The system included three cloverleaf interchanges which were "among the earliest such structures constructed in the United States." Those roads were transferred to the Virginia Department of Highways on December 17, 1964, and assigned the number Route 27. However, at that time, the Mixing Bowl included a ramp from the westbound Shirley Highway to the eastbound Route 27. When the high-occupancy vehicle lanes were added to I-395 in the 1970s, the Mixing Bowl was reconfigured so that the Route 27 lanes were separated as collector lanes from the through lanes of I-395. Because the collector lanes were built on the site of the ramp from westbound Shirley Highway to the eastbound Route 27, the ramp was replaced with a ramp from the eastbound Route 27 into the Pentagon South Parking Lot.

The Mixing Bowl is the first interchange in Northern Virginia with a three level bridge—ramp from I-395 to westbound Route 27 on the lowest level, eastbound Route 27 to Mixing Bowl in the middle; and southbound I-395 on top. In 1970 this was followed by a second three-level stack—Joyce Street South on the lowest level, eastbound Route 27 on the middle bridge and I-395 on the top level.

Route 27 is near the site of the September 11 attacks on the Pentagon. Many commuters and drivers on the road witnessed the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 fly directly over Route 27 and crash into the Pentagon. Witnesses included Daryl Donley and Steve Riskus, both of whom took some of the first photographs after the plane crashed. As the plane passed over Route 27, it clipped several light poles; one light pole landed on the windshield of a taxicab driven by Lloyd England. The section northeast of I-395 was closed for several weeks following the attack as a security measure. When it reopened, "No stopping" signs were placed along the section of Route 27 near the Pentagon. To increase security, the cloverleaf interchange between Route 27 and Columbia Pike was reconfigured, by eliminating the separate loop ramp from eastbound Route 27 to westbound Columbia Pike. The ramp from westbound Columbia Pike to eastbound Route 27 was relocated parallel to Route 27 and the resulting freed area was used to construct a security checkpoint leading to a new Pentagon loading dock. A driveway from the checkpoint runs parallel to Route 27 separated by a high metal fence. However, the Pentagon Memorial still remains visible behind this fence. North of the memorial, a high cement retaining wall and berm has been constructed to protect the Pentagon from any possible explosion threats on Route 27. These and related security improvements cost $35 million (equivalent to $ in ) and were completed in October 2004. On September 11, 2010, the portion of Route 27 near the crash site was dedicated as "9/11 Heroes Memorial Highway" after receiving that designation by the State Legislature. Commemorative signs have been added on both sides of the highway. ]

In 2001, planning began for a replacement of the US 50 bridge over Route 27, which had been built in 1944 by the War Department. Construction of a replacement bridge began in October 2005 and ended in August 2007. The project cost $6.5 million (equivalent to $ in ). At 3:40 a.m. on December 22, 2004, a gasoline tank truck overturned and exploded on Washington Boulevard at the Mixing Bowl, near the Pentagon. The accident killed the driver, and sparked initial concerns that this explosion was another terrorist attack. The driver was headed to a nearby gas station, near the Pentagon.

The bridge over Columbia Pike west of the Mixing Bowl was rated as "poor" and a new replacement bridge was proposed with a reconfiguration of the interchange. Construction on a replacement bridge began in early 2012 and was completed in December 2015. The bridge was dedicated as the "Freedmans Village Bridge" in September 2015.

Karl Prusik

Karl Prusik (1896–1961) was an Austrian mountaineer. Prusik served twice as President of the Austrian Alpine Club (AAC) and is credited with establishing over 70 ascents and routes. He is also recognised as the inventor of the Prusik knot (sometimes misspelled as Prussic).

Prusik was born on 19 May 1896 in Vienna, Austria, to parents of Czech origins. After the Anschluss, Prusik was a supporter of the then Nazi German Alpine Club (German: Deutscher Alpenverein) led by Arthur Seuss-Inquart. In 1941, at the age of 45, Prusik was called to serve as a lieutenant in the Nazi German Wehrmacht. In 1942, he was promoted to captain and received the War Merit Cross, 2nd class, for operations behind the Nazi front.

In 1947, Prusik became the first Vice President of the Österreichischer Alpenklub (ÖAK.). Prusik Peak in the Cascade Range of Washington state is named in honour of Karl Prusik. Also, a route in the Slovenian Alps was named after Karl Prusik and his climbing partner, Roman Szalay. He died on 8 May 1961 in Perchtoldsdorf, Austria, at the age of 64.

Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost

'Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost' is a 1999 American direct-to-video animated supernatural horror comedy film, and the second of the direct-to-video films based upon Scooby-Doo Saturday morning cartoons. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons and Warner Bros. Animation. The film was released on VHS on October 5, 1999, then on DVD on March 6, 2001.

The plot involves Mystery Inc. travelling to the New England town of Oakhaven after being invited by horror writer Ben Ravencroft. Like a number of direct-to-video Scooby-Doo animated films released in the late-1990s and early-2000s, The Witch's Ghost features real supernatural elements instead of the traditionally fabricated ones the franchise is associated with, giving the film a darker tone. The film has been adapted into a book.

It is the second of the first four Scooby-Doo direct-to-video films to be animated overseas by Japanese animation studio Mook Animation. The film marks the first time voice actor and radio-personality Scott Innes voiced Shaggy, as Billy West (who voiced Shaggy in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island) needed time for his voice work on Futurama. This was also the final film starring Mary Kay Bergman that was released during her lifetime.

Plot
After Ben Ravencroft, a famous horror writer of whom Velma Dinkley is a fan, assists her and Mystery Inc. in solving a case at a museum in San Francisco, he invites them to his hometown of Oakhaven, Massachusetts. When they arrive, they find the town's Mayor Corey has converted it into a tourist attraction based on the ghost of Sarah Ravencroft, Ben's ancestor who was persecuted as a witch and executed by the Puritan townspeople in 1657. Ben disputes this, claiming that Sarah was a Wiccan who used herbal remedies to heal the less fortunate and that he has spent years searching for her medical journal to prove her innocence.

While Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers are chased by Sarah's ghost, the gang is drawn to the Hex Girls, an all-female gothic rock band led by Sally "Thorn" McKnight, during one of their rehearsals. Fred Jones and Daphne Blake follow Thorn and, upon discovering her seemingly performing a ritual, believe the Hex Girls are witches.

Upon capturing Sarah's ghost, Velma reveals her to be Mr. McKnight, Thorn's father and Oakhaven's pharmacist who dressed up as the ghost as part of a town-wide publicity stunt meant to stimulate Oakhaven's failing tourist economy and that they did so after digging up Sarah's grave despite not finding her body. Additionally, Thorn reveals the "ritual" she was performing was actually an herbal remedy for soothing her vocal cords and that she is 1/16th Wiccan.

Upon realizing that a buckle Scooby found earlier is actually the lock from Sarah's journal, he returns to where he found the lock and digs up Sarah's journal. To the gang's horror the book is revealed to be a witch's grimoire. A gleeful Ben reveals he is a warlock, and the stories of Sarah being a witch are true, who had been imprisoned in her book by the Wiccans of her time. Furthermore, he engineered the museum mystery to manipulate Mystery Inc. into helping him, and though he did not account for Oakhaven's publicity stunt, used it to his advantage nonetheless. He subsequently awakens his magical powers and releases Sarah in the hopes that she will help him rule the world. However, she chooses to destroy it in retaliation for her imprisonment instead.

Disillusioned, Ben attempts to re-imprison Sarah, but she reveals only a Wiccan can do so and traps him in a magical sphere. Mystery Inc. attempts to get the book back, but Sarah brings several pumpkins and trees to life and enlarges a turkey to stop them. Amidst the chaos, Velma convinces Thorn to re-imprison Sarah, as she is one-sixteenth Wiccan. As the plan succeeds, the trees and pumpkins are restored, the turkey is freed from her control, and she is pulled back into her book, taking Ben with her. A burning branch falls on the book, incinerating it and thus preventing Sarah and Ben from ever returning. Afterwards, Mystery Inc., the townsfolk, and the turkey celebrate with a concert held by the Hex Girls.

Voice cast

 * Scott Innes as Scooby-Doo and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers
 * Frank Welker as Fred Jones and Turkey
 * Mary Kay Bergman as Daphne Blake, Witch’s Ghost and Girl
 * B.J. Ward as Velma Dinkley
 * Tim Curry as Ben Ravencroft
 * Jennifer Hale as Sally "Thorn" McKnight and Butter Churner
 * Neil Ross as Mayor Corey, Perkins and Exhibit Voice
 * Jane Wiedlin as Dusk
 * Bob Joles as Jack and Dr. Dean
 * Kimberly Brooks as Luna
 * Tress MacNeille as Sarah Ravencroft
 * Peter Renaday as Mr. McKnight

Production
After the success of Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, which received better sales than Warner Bros. had expected, the team were tasked with creating a second Scooby-Doo direct-to-video film. Its predecessor was considered a one-off experiment and, as such, the crew producing it worked with little oversight from executives. For Witch's Ghost, this creative freedom was scaled back considerably. Warner Bros. suggested screenwriters Rick Copp and David A. Goodman, which insulted the team that had produced the first film in total autonomy. In addition, the studio requested the filmmakers "tone down" their content, as they feared Zombie Island had proved too scary for its intended audience.

Copp and Goodman's script concluded with the revelation that the townspeople were using the witch as a publicity stunt. The original team found this unsatisfactory and Glenn Leopold re-wrote the last third of the film, introducing the concept that the ghost is real.

Soundtrack
To coincide with the release of Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Warner Bros. decided to release the album Scooby-Doo's Snack Tracks: The Ultimate Collection. It went on to peak at number 5 on Billboard's Kid Albums chart and stayed in the top 25 for over 26-weeks. This popularity inspired Warner Bros. to release a full length soundtrack for their next film, ''Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost''.

Kid Rhino partnered with Warner Home Video and Cartoon Network to release the soundtrack for the film. According to Rhino VP Carol Lee, "We [worked] closely with Warner Home Video so that we're part of everything they do." She added the soundtrack to the film was, "treated like that of a theatrical release. We created a Music Video which appeared on the home video." On September 14, 1999, the soundtrack was released on CD and Audio Cassette, featuring songs by The Hex Girls, and Billy Ray Cyrus performing "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?".

Notes
 * $undefined$ From Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.

Release and reception
Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost was released on VHS on October 5, 1999, then on DVD on March 6, 2001. The VHS included the pilot episode for Courage the Cowardly Dog entitled The Chicken From Outer Space shown at the end.

The film earned a 50% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. David Parkinson of Radio Times, gave the film two out of five stars, saying, "This full-length cartoon featuring the ghost-hunting teenage detectives is something of a mixed bag." Joe Neumaier from Entertainment Weekly said, "Though slyly written, it doesn't have the punch of last year's Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island – but it's still scarier than The Blair Witch Project."

The film was criticized by religious groups upon its release, who claimed The Hex Girls were "of the Devil, luring young girls into Wicca witchcraft."

Reception
Noted film critic Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote:

"Heart of Dixie is a clear-eyed, funny and affecting movie about the emotional awakening of a pretty, white Alabama coed in 1957, on the eve of the great racial struggles that would mark the 1960s throughout the South. ... Mr. McCown's screenplay, based on the novel Heartbreak Hotel, by Anne Rivers Siddons, is refreshing in the way that it refuses to impose a long historical view on the immediate events it is recording. The movie is always aware of history, but it somehow avoids the awful self-assurance that comes with 20-20 hindsight. ... Miss Sheedy is so good as Maggie that the character's liberation, and the rise of her social consciousness, appear to be genuine triumphs. Miss Madsen, who looks a little like Carole Landis as well as like Kim Novak, is also fine, as are Mr. Williams, Phoebe Cates (as Maggie's unconventional friend) and Don Michael Paul, who manages to play Maggie's Southern chauvinist fiance with a good deal of arrogant charm."

In contrast, Rita Kempley, staff writer at The Washington Post panned the film, writing, "Ally Sheedy, Virginia Madsen and Phoebe Cates combine their negligible talents in Heart of Dixie -- a melodrama so full of hams, it oinks. Led by Sheedy, the tedious trio plays giddy coeds caught up in the racist and sexist traditions of the South in the late '50s. They all sound like they've been gulping hush puppy batter ... Working from McCown's histrionic screenplay, Martin Davidson of Eddie and the Cruisers proves once again that he don't know nothing 'bout directing no movies."

Ally Sheedy was nominated for Worst Actress at the Golden Raspberry Awards, but lost to Heather Locklear for The Return of Swamp Thing.

Rodolphe Seeldrayers

Rodolphe William Seeldrayers (16 December 1876 – 7 October 1955) was a Belgian football administrator who was the fourth President of FIFA, serving from 1954 to 1955. He was actively involved in the official associations of Belgium sports.

Early life
Born in 1876 in Düsseldorf, Germany, Seeldrayers studied law at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Free University of Brussels), where he began his sporting activities. At 19 he was one of the founders of the Union royale belge des Sociétés de football association (URBSFA), or Royal Belgian Union of the Football Association Societies, for which he was the treasurer for four years and a member of the Executive Counsel for 25 years. He was later elected as a member of honour. In 1914, the Union used his talents as an orator and named him a delegate to FIFA, of which he was made vice-president in 1927.

In 1899 Seeldrayers began a career as a sports journalist with the magazine "La vie sportive" (Sporting Life), writing a column under the pen name Spectator. Ten years later, he founded the National Committee for Physical Education which merged with the Belgian Olympic Committee. He became head of the committee beginning in 1946, succeeding Prince Albert de Ligne.

The Olympics and FIFA
In 1920, he was technical secretary of the Olympic Games at Antwerp, and a member of the appeals jury for football at the Olympics several times. He was most notable in this role at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, when during the Peru vs. Austria game spectators invaded the pitch which provoked an appeals jury consultation. The Austrian Football Association sent a complaint to the appeals committee which decided, after deliberation, to re-play the match "behind closed doors". Peru disagreed and their entire Olympic squad left the Games complaining of the "crafty Berlin decision". He also received the official Czechoslovak complaint following the abandoned 1920 Olympic Final, which had been refereed by John Lewis.

An inveterate founder of clubs and associations, the following organizations are to Seeldrayers' credit: the Waterloo Golf-Club (1923), the Ixelles Football Club (which would be part of the merger with the Racing Club of Brussels), and the Anglo-Belgian Cricket Sporting Club. Selldrayers seemed to be well received in English circles: up-to-date and to the point in matters of sport, he spoke the English language. At the same time, he continued his journalistic activities and began a new collaboration with the publication Sports Echo (L'Écho des Sports). He ended this aspect of his career in 1935 while still continuing to publish articles and making his opinions known in the columns of the Bulletins of the International Olympic Committee.

World War II slowed but did not stop his activities. As a member of the Belgian Olympic Committee during the Occupation, he stood up for the independence of Belgian sport. At the end of the war, he was one of the members of the International Olympic Committee for the first post-war Games, in 1946.

A great mutual respect existed between Seeldrayers and the then president of FIFA, universally respected Frenchman Jules Rimet. This translated on the part of the Belgian, into a motion introduced on 25 July 1946, at a FIFA congress, to change the name of the World Cup to the "Jules Rimet Cup".

For many years, the question of amateurism posed a problem. With the economic development of sports, the phenomenon of professionalism began to bring into question the fundamentals of the conception of the Olympic Games, as P. de Coubertin wanted them to be. Debates raged and a Commission on Amateurism was created, supported by the International Olympic Committee, which Seeldrayers took part in. In the end, the commission submitted its final report in 1947, at the session in Stockholm. It included a definition of amateurism and required future participants in the Olympic Games to sign a declaration affirming they were true amateurs, and proposed the creation of a permanent commission. This was composed of three members of the International Olympic Committee, and a delegate of each international federation.

At the beginning of 1955, Jules Rimet resigned from FIFA and passed his authority to his vice-president, R. W. Seeldrayers. This handing down of power, as well as the matches of the World Cup of 1954, were shown on television for the first time. Under his presidency, the Federation counted 85 members and celebrated its fiftieth anniversary.

Under his presidency of FIFA, Seeldrayers faced another problem: FIFA was reproached for having given permission for "false" amateurs to participate in a Helsinki tournament, even though a definition of amateurism had been introduced in its by-laws by Seeldrayers himself, vice president of the federation at the time. The problem was complex, with the decision on which games will participate in major sports events at stake. It was also a time when regimes used sports as a means of propaganda.

Aware of the significance of this problem, Seeldrayers remained faithful to his view of the sport. For him, "from a point of view strictly Olympic, sport is only possible, theoretically, when practiced by amateurs." His opinion didn't prevent him from respecting professional players who followed the spirit of the game with loyalty, sincerity, and fair-play. And even though he clearly saw the use of sports in communist propaganda, he understood and approved that phenomenon to a certain extent. In his opinion, sports were a key element of social organization. They must be integrated into the school curriculum on the same level that any other subject and are capital to youths' education. Seeldrayers considered the criticisms flawed, and over time, his opinion didn't improve. He believed that it was the duty of the press to teach the spectator.

R.W. Seeldrayers died a year after his election as president of FIFA, on 7 October 1955, due to illness, and received a semi-official funeral, following a governmental decision. He was posthumously elected a member of the IOC (International Olympic Committee). It was then decided that this title would not be given posthumously again.

Sportsmanship
Seeldrayers was a very accomplished sportsman, evidenced by the many sports in which he competed. He had a preference for team sports. This agreed with his concept of sports, since according to Seeldrayers, sports must be the playing field of an apprenticeship in the necessary values of life and community.

Influence
Eight fields of Belgian sports benefited from Seeldrayers' attentions: athletics, football, aviation, cricket, field hockey, golf and, in a small measure, tennis and swimming — athletics and football being his main focus. He was the Belgian 110 metre hurdles champion in 1897, and he competed as a hurdler for ten years. He was the Belgium Division of Honour champion with the Racing-Club of Brussels' team in 1900, and captain of the university team of Brussels in 1898 and 1899. All in all, he competed for 26 years.

As for other fields, their practice lasted an average of ten years and always at an elevated level of accomplishment, winning, at least, a championship: he had five years in the Regatta Club (Cercle des régates) of Brussels and the "Sunburn" team (Coup de Soleil), ten years of cricket in le Racing and the "Anglo-Belgian Club" of Brussels, and was three times champion of Belgium. In 1924 he was captain of the national team which defeated France in Paris. For ten years he played hockey for the Racing-Club of Brussels, and in 1903, for the national team against France in Paris. He played golf from 1919 onward in the Waterloo Golf Club where he was captain for ten years.

José González-Lander

Jose Gonzalez-Lander (November 13, 1933 – January 18, 2000) was a Caracas, Venezuela born engineer credited for leading the planning, design and construction of the Caracas Metro during an uninterrupted period of more than thirty years, from 1966 to 1997.

Early life
José Octaviano González Lander was born in the La Pastora neighborhood of Caracas to Octaviano González Benatuil (1901-1948) an accountant and Josefina Lander Fernández (1902-1994). Josefina was first cousin to First Lady Menca de Leoni, wife to President Raúl Leoni. Gonzalez-Lander had a younger brother, Alfredo, an attorney, and a younger sister María Josefina. In January 1948, his father died of a stroke when he was 14 years old. He attended the Escuela Experimental Venezuela (elementary) and the Liceo Andrés Bello (secondary school) graduating in 1950.

Civil Service
Mr. Gonzalez-Lander dedicated his life to public service rising through the ranks of the Ministry of Public Works where he started as an assistant engineer when he was in his freshman year in engineering school. He graduated in 1958 with a degree in Civil Engineering from Universidad Central de Venezuela in Caracas. His graduation was delayed almost two years due to student unrest during the final years of General Marcos Pérez Jiménez' dictatorship. The Venezuelan government granted him a scholarship to attend graduate school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he concentrated in Transportation Engineering and Economics.

On his return to Venezuela Mr. Gonzalez-Lander was put in charge of the Ministry of Public Works' Office of Transportation Planning where he spearheaded the design of the backbone of the future Caracas Metro system, a 20 km underground double track rail line connecting the East and West ends of the city. This effort would expand for 10 years before the project could muster enough public support for its construction. Between 1974 and 1977, at the beginning of the first administration of President Carlos Andres Pérez, he served in a Vice Minister role as General Director of Roadways. Caracas' rapid growth as a result of the oil boom of the 1970s strained the capacity of the city's road network and the need for a rapid transit system became evident as automotive traffic along its modern expressways became chaotic. The government of President Pérez decided to provide full political and financial support to the construction of this complex project. The man selected to head this effort was Jose Gonzalez-Lander who, in 1977, founded the Compañía Anónima Metro de Caracas, an independent government enterprise that would plan and execute the construction of the system and would operate it once completed (similar to an American Transit Authority.)

This was one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects undertaken in the country since the Guri Dam was started in the 1960s. Construction of the first phase was very successful and revenue service started on January 2, 1983. The success of the project was in large measure attributed to Mr. Gonzalez-Lander's and his team's technical and managerial skills. In a country where most public endeavors are stifled by poor management and charges of corruption, the Caracas Metro and Mr. Gonzalez-Lander became an example to follow.

During his 20 years at the helm of the company, Gonzalez Lander oversaw the construction of the first line and of two branches (see List of Caracas Metro stations.) The last rail line completed under his management was opened to revenue service in 1994 (Line No. 3); he also initiated the replacement of obsolete rail cars for Lines 1 and 2. The success of the company continued during the operation of the system with the creation of a network of feeder buses which replicated the efficiency of the underground service and gained the praise of all its users. This became the only centrally controlled network of high capacity buses in the city where, up to that point, surface transportation was provided by driver-owned jitneys. During his tenure the company also laid the foundation for the future growth of the system establishing an expansion program for the year 2010 that included two additional Metro corridors and two extensions of existing lines.

Mr. Gonzalez-Lander retired in 1997 and received the honorary title of President Emeritus of the company he founded.

International
Mr. González-Lander traveled extensively heading Venezuela’s delegations in multiple international organizations specialized in public transportation and urban development. Between 1974 and 1979 he presided the Executive Committee of the Pan-American Highway Congress. In October 1980, Gonzalez-Lander was invited by Eno Center for Transportation to participate in a panel to review the Transportation Systems in the Americas. The Caracas Metro, under his leadership, helped create the Latin American Association of Metros and Undergrounds (ALAMYS) which had its first conference in Caracas in 1986. He was also an active member of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) where he was member of the Executive Committee and guest speaker on various occasions.

Recognitions
Gonzalez-Lander received multiple decorations during his professional career, most notably the Orden Francisco de Miranda and Orden Libertador from the Venezuelan government; the Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur from the French Government; the Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana from the Italian Government; and Commander of the Order of Orange-Nassau which he received from the hands of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.

Personal life
His family and close friends called him by his childhood nickname of "Pepito". He married Maria Isabel Marcano Camino in Caracas in 1960 and had two children. Except for the time the couple spent in Boston, MA during his graduate studies, the family always lived in Caracas. Gonzalez-Lander was also an accomplished amateur painter. During a period of 18 years he painted dozens of oil canvases mostly depicting urban scenes of early twentieth century Caracas and many portraits of his family. Many of his friends and colleagues remember with amusement his 1971 bright yellow VW beetle which he drove on weekends around the city. His health took a downward turn in his early sixties partly a result of years of cigarette smoking.

He died in Caracas on January 18, 2000 at the age of 66.

Legacy
On December 2, 1998 the City of Caracas opened the "Ingeniero José González Lander" West Bus Terminal better known as La Bandera due to its location.

In his honor, the building that houses Metro’s Operations Control Center and its training facilities was named "Jose Gonzalez Lander."

On June 22, 2000, a children’s park in the Caracas neighborhood of Colinas de Bello Monte was named José Gonzalez Lander. The Mayor of the Municipality of Baruta, at the time Ms. Ivonne Attas, was present at the dedication ceremony which included the unveiling of a bust statue in his likeness (since removed.)

On July 22, 2021, the Venezuelan Society of Engineers (Colegio de Ingenieros de Venezuela) added  the name of Mr. Gonzalez Lander to the walls of the Society’s Hall of Honor. The President of the Society, Mr. Enzo Betancourt, and the French Ambassador to Venezuela, Mr. Romain Nadal, were keynote speakers at the ceremony.

Ide, Devon

Ide is a village in Devon, England, just under 1 mi southwest of Exeter. The village church is dedicated to the German Saint Ida of Herzfeld and was rebuilt in 1834.

The majority of the village is separated from suburban Exeter by the A30 dual carriageway. Whilst it was controversial at the time of construction, the bypass has effectively enabled Ide to maintain an independent identity. The parish boundaries extend a short distance over the A30 and several notable buildings within the parish, including Ide House and the Twisted Oak pub, are located on the Exeter side.

The village has two pubs: the Poacher's Inn and the Huntsman Inn. To the northwest of the village at College Lane, a ford crosses the Fordland Brook.

Above Ide on a hilltop at SX8888 is the site of a Roman fortlet or signal station.

Ide Halt railway station on the G.W.R. Teign Valley Line opened in 1903 and closed to passengers on 9 June 1958. The station site was re-developed as St Ida's Close and no trace of the railway now remains.

Ide had a population of 526 in 2011, which decreased to 510 in 2014, and increased to 586 in 2021.

Pingali (writer)

Pingali Nagendra Rao (29 December 1901 – 6 May 1971), known mononymously by his surname Pingali, was an Indian screenwriter, lyricist, and playwright who worked in Telugu cinema and Telugu theatre. Famous for his witty and romantic lyrics, he also wrote dialogues for many films. Pathala Bhairavi (1951), Missamma (1955), and Mayabazar (1957) are some of his best known works for story, script and song lyrics. Pingali is famous for his coining of new and funny words and phrases in Telugu such as Dhimbaka, Dingari, Gimbali.

Life sketch
He was born in a Telugu Brahmin family on 29 December 1901 to Gopalakrishnayya and Mahalaxmamma in Rajam, near Bobbili, Andhra Pradesh. Because most of his relatives are settled in Machilipatnam, their family migrated there. He did a course in Mechanical Engineering from the Andhra Jateeya Kalasala, Machilipatnam.

He joined Indian independence movement and wrote Janma Bhoomi as his first literary work. He was arrested for the same. He worked as a teacher for some time and later joined Bengal Nagpur Railway at Kharagpur for two years. He was union leader of the labour association there. During this period, he translated Dwijendralal Ray's Mebar Patan (1922) as Mevadu Rajyapatanam and Pashani (1923) from Bengali into Telugu language. His independent work during the same time was Jebunnisa. All the three dramas were published in Krishna Patrika. He joined Indian National Congress and as pracharak toured the entire country and reached Sabarmati Ashram.

He came back to Machilipatnam and joined Indian Dramatic Company of Devarakonda Venkata Subbarao in 1924 as writer and secretary. He wrote Vindyarani play in 1928 based on the Dubois of Padua of Oscar Wilde, Naa Raju play based on the history of Sri Krishnadevaraya, Maro Prapancham social play and Rani Samyukta historical play.

Pingali was considered a magician with words. He died on 6 May 1971.

All of Pingali's plays were reprinted recently in a book titled Pingaleeyam.

Talk:Alliance (Firefly)

China?
It appears that this Alliance was a melding of the dictatorship of the People's Republic of China and the democracy of the United States.

Is this an even remotely fair treatment?

--Taliesin84 22:24, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nope, seems rather obviously POV.Kuralyov 00:08, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Joss has told us (at some point, possibly on the DVDs) that the reason China and the USA are the chief prescences in the new galaxy is because they were the only two countries that survived, following some kind of nuclear war.

Wow, how freakin' brainwashed are you Americans? China is not a dictatorship. 203.173.28.131 (talk) 03:07, 26 January 2012 (UTC) Sutter Cane

City ships
Does anyone else think that it's misleading to say that Alliance ships look like cities? Cities imply many buildings, whereas the sips are one mass. --Arctic.gnome 21:04, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * They look like cities. They have a wide base with many towers of various sizes rising out of the base, so yes, they do indeed look like many buildings. It's not misleading at all. Kuralyov 00:08, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Alliance troop costumes
I've reverted a statement about the Alliance ground troops' armor coming from Space: Above and Beyond. The Starship Troopers costume rental is explicitly mentioned by Joss Whedon in the DVD commentary to "The Train Job", just as Mal and Zoë discover the troops on the train. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:39, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Nurseries on ships

 * … we learn that Alliance ships have nurseries, suggesting that starship crews are joined by their families while on duty.

I removed the inferential part of the above line because it's just as possible that a city-sized military vessel might need a nursery just for the tiny percentage of female personnel who happen to be giving birth at any time. It seems too speculative unless we can get a canonical source. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Weyland-Yutani link
Someone just added the following line to this article, concerning Blue Sun comparisons:
 * A lesser example is the Weyland-Yutani corporation of Alien fame, whose logo can be seen on certain Alliance weapons.

Do we have a source for this information? It seems like a bit of a stretch without one. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:40, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

>> Yes, the WY logo is visible in the pilot, on the HUD of the gun Mal uses to shoot an aircarft down at Serenity Valley. (Center top of the HUD) ~raph (noryal@gmail.com), 29 November 2005

There's one more link between WY and Firefly. The WY slogan is "Building Better Worlds." This is almost the exact phrase The Operative uses in Serenity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.38.75.139 (talk) 22:07, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Londinium
i just watched the Firefly Pilot and the Subtitles say Mals line "...king of all Londinium" is "king of Olandina". But maybe they're just wrong?

Cheers!
 * The Subtitles are wrong !--Brown Shoes22 04:33, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

looking for more movie Quotes ?

 * Thairs one by The Operative saiding what he is and what he sees the Union of Allied Planets to be ?

Events of Serenity
I'm surprised that the article has not made any mention at all of the events of the film. Given that many in the 'verse become aware of the Alliance's deadly secret is an important issue to touch upon. Though, much like always when I go requesting rather than doing myself, I simply don't know where this would currently fit in with the article. History section? I just don't want to unbalance things. --Bacteria 01:42, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

 * How about a "Events of Serenity" section? I'm open to suggestions as to where in the article to insert it though. --Pentasyllabic 02:51, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

 * What I'm thinking is to retitle the History section with something that would encompass the Alliance's entire (known) grip on the system, thus going from the little knowledge of its formation to the fracture in strength it suffered as stated by The Operative at the end of the film. --Bacteria 06:23, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Quotes
The quotes marked "Opening narration; first lines spoken in series" -- where are they from? I can't find them in either 'first' episode (Serenity or The Train Job). Njál 21:24, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * They were in the original TV broadcast of the series, but they're not on the DVDs. Pettifogger 21:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Alliance Military - Gunships
This section mentions that we never see Gunships. As far as I can tell (I'd have to go watch the show again to be sure, and oh gosh darn do I hate watching Firefly :*D), we briefly see the Gunships, still docked on the underside of IAV Dortmunder in the pilot episode, and we also see similar vessels in the episodes "Garbage" (landing at Belerophon Estates shortly before the Feds show up in person) and "The Message" (the rogue Alliance marshal flies in one of these). Though the ships in the later episodes are never refered to as gunships, they do seem rather similar to the craft briefly shown in Serenity, so unless anyone comes up with a compelling objection, I'm going to add it when I get home from work tonight.--Raguleader 23:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't really have a compelling objection, but I do have an objection nonetheless. It might be that those ships are the gunships referred to in dialogue, you might be dead-on, but we haven't had any kind of on-screen confirmation that they actually are. Nobody has pointed to them and said "Those are gunships", they could very well be a completely unconnected form of fighter craft. Right now, with "I believe..." and "It makes sense that..." as the primary evidence, this would be considered conjecture, which is a no-no in articles. Sorry. JBK405 00:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, since that's what the camera focused on (after cutting to an entirely different setting just to look at the ships) it would be a safe assumption that that's what they were talking about. Does anybody have a copy of the script for the episode to see if it makes particular mention of them?--Raguleader 17:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

See, that's the rub right there, "it would be a safe assumption". I'm not an expert on Wikipedia, but I'm pretty sure that assumptions aren't verifiable sources. A script would be best, it would give some sort of backing. JBK405 17:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Flag
Anyone got an image of the flag? There are several ways you could merge the PRC and USA flags, and it would lend a bit more completeness to the article (maybe on top of a Fictional Superpowers infobox if one exists).Leushenko 00:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Language
At the end of the section titled "Universe", the article mentions that a warning message was repeated in English and Cantonese. Is this correct? I don't speak any form of Chinese and haven't seen this, but I would have thought the Alliance would use some form of Mandarin as I am given to the understanding that it is the PRC's main language. Leushenko 17:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Downfall?
At the end of the article on the Alliance the damage the Alliance has taken from the revelations concerning the planet Miranda is mentioned under the subject of 'downfall'. Given that the Operative states that the Alliance is only weakened this seems to be a bit of a stretch. Can anyone think of a better title? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iuniper (talk • contribs) 05:36, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Alliance includes more than German military uniform
In the pilot of the series Firefly the capital ship is called "Dortmunder" which is a city in germany. This is an indicator that the military has a stron german resemblence, since german battleships today are called by a german city like the "Hamburg". See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg_%28D_181%29 or the Ludwigshafen see: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwigshafen_am_Rhein_%28F_264%29 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.79.14.62 (talk) 14:07, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Dortmund is the name of a city. Dortmunder means pertaining to Dortmund. No navy in the world has battleships today. The Hamburg was a destroyer, which was decomissioned 20 years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathmare (talk • contribs) 15:01, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Update regarding copyright concern
Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above and sufficient time has passed since the placement of the notice, the article has been deleted for copyright concerns. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (if you are not the copyright holder or have co-authored the material, release under CC-BY-SA-compatible license alone is sufficient), the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Wikimedia Communications committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you still may (or resend it, if you believe your original may have been lost), and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.

As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that our licenses permit modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained and future copies are compatibly licensed.

Please note that once permission is verified, the material may be evaluated and altered to meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Although we appreciate donations, we cannot guarantee that material donated will be retained.

Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 03:36, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Composer TSALAHOURIS.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Composer TSALAHOURIS.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 15:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
