Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rebel Alliance Forums

 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 DELETE.

Rebel Alliance Forums
Another web forum. Although this article is reasonably well written, I can't figure out why this is notable. Although I get about a thousand Google hits after weeding out the string "star wars", I still can't tell that this group is notable. Most of the top hits appear to be other groups using this popular name. The Rebel Alliance is already covered in the Che-Lives article. --Xcali 20:48, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep - Well if the Che-lives article covering the Rebel Alliance is shortend to say a link and this page stays would that not cover it? because it is not covered to any detail in the Che-Lives article. Remember this is a relatively new development in Che-Lives, you seem a bit too keen to get rid of the article. And we may not be on google yet, but we're on msn search, quite high in fact- User:Escobar600ie

Che-Lives has a rather lengthy page describing different aspects of it, and it's history... I don't see why the Rebel Alliance, a prominent division of it should be robbed of such a thing while che-live's history and information is allowed to remain. (unsigned edit by 24.131.136.226)

Personally I think that this is an interesting development. If this infomation were to be merged into the main Che-lives page then it is possible that the page would be too long. However, so long as the infomation is kept (either on the Che-lives page or on its own page) I don't mind what is done. If things continue and this forum actually becomes a lot more active then there is reason to leave it as a seperate page. I vote to delete the page and merge the infomation back into the main Che-lives page until such time as the forums become more active. --harrismw 01:58, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I vote no. The page itself stands for an independent website, not a sub-division of Che-Lives. It would be more appropriate to delete a part of the information regarding Rebel Alliance on the Che-Lives website. --User:RedStarOverChina

This page should definately have a stay. Aslong as there is something to write about it (Enough information), it should always stay because all articles need to be considered, atleast once, and allowed to exist..since this is Wikipedia, and we should strive to cover as most subject as possible and if someone does the bother to write a bit about it, why try to save a lil' bandwith 'cuz you don't like "small" boards, which could always become something bigger and more than a forum? But don't remove part of it from teh Che-Lives entry.....it's relevant, after-all, they're break-away from the board there, of RevLeft.--OleMurder 18:07, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - just another web forum - no evidence of notability. Wikipedia is not a web guide. CDC   (talk)  22:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nn. Wikipedia is not a web directory. Tobycat 03:36, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Rebel Alliance is not a website, as such. It is a community composed of people with a (roughly) shared political or philosophical leaning who happen to be divided by large distances and so communicate using the internet.

 * If Wikipedia is not a web directory then certainly the likes of che-lives should be removed as well. This community is quite unique for the way it organizes itself. (unsigned edit by 24.131.136.226)

Put it under the Che Lives main page. It does not need its own seperate page as the website will most likely die within a relatively short period anyway. That or group it with Star Wars.--HoldenMashaft

Charles French (politician)

Charles French (21 October 1851 – 27 October 1925) was a politician in Ireland, serving as Member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The eldest son of Charles French, 3rd Baron de Freyne by his wife Catherine Maree, French was born before his parents' marriage on 17 May 1854 and so was not eligible to succeed to the title of Baron de Freyne, which passed to his younger brother, Arthur, in 1868. He married Constance Eleanor Chichester on 21 January 1880.

French was elected to represent County Roscommon in a Parliamentary by-election, 24 June 1873, and held the seat until the 1880 general election.

He was High Sheriff of Roscommon in 1887.

SHARON RICKMAN
Do any Wikipedia contributors know whether there are any plans for Sharon Rickman to return to EastEnders? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexWilkes (talk • contribs)

She is NOT returning. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:DennisDead.jpg
Image:DennisDead.jpg 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 insure 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.

What Does She Acctually Own???
Cos, I haven't got a clue her occupation here and here, clearly state "Businesswoman" but what the hell does she own???, does anyone know?? —Dweeby123 (talk) 18:46, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The article says she still owns the Bookies, plus she has owned the Vic. Anemone  Projectors  20:35, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

'Unhealthily' depressed?
It is my understanding that depression is an inherently unhealthy state of being, and as such, writing that Sharon was 'unhealthily depressed' is redundant. Would the IP editor who has been repeatedly inserting 'unhealthily' over the past couple of days care to discuss their own position? Frickative 19:10, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Saying clinically depressed would make more sense, though that was not diagnosed so is OR.  GunGagdin Moan 19:37, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Completely agree, plus after "depressed" it explains the fact that she wasn't eating etc. Anemone  Projectors  20:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Common name?
Should this be Watts?  GunGagdin Moan 00:16, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * GNews has 4 hits for '"Sharon Rickman" EastEnders', 8 for Mitchell and 91 for Watts, so I definitely support a move. Frickative  00:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Google web has similar results (only on a larger scale) (though only if you add "-Wikipedia" to the search). Besides, she was Rickman for about 5 minutes. – Anemone Projectors – 00:43, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Occupation date on "Businesswoman"
Okay so I've come here because on the main profile page it says Businesswoman (since 2001) — well this is not the case she was a businesswoman a long time before 2001 - 10 years to be precise she bought The Vic (off whoever owned it) in 1991 when Eddie Royle was murdered by Nick Cotton although I'm not sure who she would of bought it off as to my knowledge Eddie had no relations but that's not what I'm getting at she has been a Businesswoman (since 1991) not 2001 so please allow me to change this without reverting cheers --EndersFan2012 (talk) 23:16, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the general consensus is that it is 2001. We go by consensus on Wikipedia, please don't change the date just because you don't agree or you may find that you are reported for this or the article is locked so you can't edit it.  Please go with the consensus.--5 albert square (talk) 23:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Well okay only because I don't want to be blocked but I still say 1991. --EndersFan2012 (talk) 23:24, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I think EndersFan2012 is right. The Mitchells (as in Sharon and Grant, and Phil) bought the freehold of the vic in 1991 from the brewery, Luxford and Copley, and as such they were the first out-right owners of the Vic. Personally, I think her job title should be Landylady or pub owner (1991-1995, 2001-2002), because that's what she was. Businesswoman is too ambiguous.  GunGagdin Moan 08:30, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you User:Gungadin, at least someone agrees with me :) --EndersFan2012 (talk) 10:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't agree with sockpuppets. GSorby –  Ping   13:33, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Just because they're a sockpuppet, it doesn't necessarily invalidate their point. – Anemone Projectors – 15:33, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Sharon being Cora's daughter?
Before I begin, believe I do not believe all this tabloid hype and rumours that Sharon will turn out to be 'Ava', Cora Cross's daughter. However, do you think it is worth mentioning in Sharon's article, maybe in her return section? Alex250P (talk) 13:36, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably not, unless it turns out to be true. We already know who Sharon's birth mother is, and it wasn't Cora Cross. – Anemone Projectors – 13:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * In the 80s the media declared that Sharon was actually Kathy's real daughter that she gave up for rape. That was bollocks obviously and we dont mention that.  GunGagdin Moan 14:02, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sharon has already met her birth mother on the soap so I think all these rumours are bullsh. Unless EE do some serious ret-conning I cant see it being true and not worth mentioning.Bleaney (talk) 01:50, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks like this probably won't be retconned as the Sharon Quiz on the EE site acknowledges that Carol is Sharon's birth mother. – Anemone Projectors – 13:57, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Great Work
Really impressed on all the work put into this article, especially by Gungagdin. Would expect this to pass GA criteria with little to no problems. Eshlare (talk) 12:08, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Eshlare. Nice to get good feedback :) I dont ever tend to nom articles for GA because I am can never be sure I am available after revue to make corrections, but I might nominate this one.  GunGagdin Moan 18:16, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Denny or Dennis
I think this character should be referred to as Denny. This is what Sharon calls him, obviously to distinguish him from Dennis Rickman, so I dont see why we are not referring to him as Denny on here. His real name is of course Dennis, but if we were going by real names and not names used in the show then Minty, Nana, Deano etc should all be referred to by their real names too. Additionally it is confusing.  GunGagdin Moan 15:10, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The difference is Minty, Nana, Deano etc were actually credited as that on EastEnders. Even though Sharon calls him Denny, he has been credited so far as Dennis. I know its annoying as we want to have clear blue water between the characters, but unless the BBC actually credit him as Denny, I dont think we should. For instance, Denise often used to call Libby 'Squiggle', yet she was never credited as that, so she stayed as Libby on here! Bleaney (talk) 15:52, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Couldnt an argument be made that Denny is the common name, seeing as that's the most commonly name used on screen?  GunGagdin Moan 17:11, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I changed all instances to Denny in order to disambiguate him from his father (since there is no source for "Jr"). Those edits have been reverted (by AnemoneProjectors.) I believe that we have ample cause to refer consistently to Denny, per common name. DBD 17:36, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * To prove its his common name do a source search. What DBD fails to recognise is that many sources have referred to him as Dennis Jr, many sources have referred to him as Dennis. Who refers to him as Denny apart from Sharon? Bleaney (talk) 17:43, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If Sharon refers to him as Denny, that means the writers refer to him as Denny, and episodes are a primary source which for in universe things such as this, would be much more accurate than external sources.  GunGagdin Moan 18:42, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yet the episode credits name him as Dennis - surely the credits are the primary source not the dialogue? Bleaney (talk) 19:17, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * not in my opinion. Why should credits be a primary source and not dialogue? That doesn't make sense. It is doubtful the script writers who shape the characters have anything to do with generating the credits graphics per episode. Anyway, the credits are littered with spelling changes over the years. Sometiems surnames and forenames are omitted in credits. For instance Christine Hewitt was constantly credited as "Mrs Hewitt". Should we never refer to her forename in the articles because it was only mentioned in dialogue and not in credits? What about Billy Jackson vs Billie Jackson. Credits change.  GunGagdin Moan 19:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Of course credits change... but then so can dialogue! It would be SO much easier if EE would credit the character as Denny, but at the moment they don't. I appreciate the current situation here is far from ideal, and maybe the COMMONNAME argument can justify a change. Please don't think i'm wedded to the idea of calling him Dennis... Denny would be my choice normally, its just the difficulty of what EE officially calls him... does the character have an official EE profile? Maybe that could help. Bleaney (talk) 19:37, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Doesnt seem to have his own profile yet, though I imagine it will only be a matter of time before the precocious irritant gets one. On Sharon's profile they refer to him as Denny and D R jr I think the only solution at this stage then is to refer to him in prose constantly as "her son" or "Sharon's son" or Dennis Jr, because it is confusing especially when Dennis Sr is being mentioned in the same storyline.  GunGagdin Moan 19:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually... That is kind of EE crediting him as Denny isn't it? I'd be happy to list him as Denny in that case! Bleaney (talk) 21:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Would something along the lines of calling him Dennis "Denny" Rickman Junior on the first occurance work, and then Denny thereafter? I'm aware it could look awkward though. Eshlare (talk) 11:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I wish they would credit him as Denny. But I reverted the changes because he's not credited as Denny. I did start a discussion at Talk:List of EastEnders characters (2012) but that was ignored in favour of this one - just wanted to point that out. I just didn't want to see every entry changed from Dennis Jr to Denny, because I think we should go by the credits. I know Jr isn't used, so I'd support just calling him Dennis Rickman instead of Dennis Rickman Jr, but we'd have to clarify this when mentioning both Dennises. – Anemone Projectors – 11:06, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I concur. Shall we use (father) and (son) or the elder and the younger? DBD 12:21, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That seems clumsy. If the BBC are referring to him as Denny on Sharon's profile, can we not use this as a reference and call him Denny? Otherwise i'd go for Dennis Jr. Bleaney (talk) 13:53, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Ian Beale inclusions
I have removed the Ian Beale inclusion that keeps being placed in Sharon's plot summary. It seems merely to me a means of including Ian Beale in the plot and it is entirely irrelevant to Sharon's plot. I wonder how many times Sharon has offered advice to people over the years? Do we need to mention every single one? Mark, Pat, Pauline, Ruby, Mary the punk?? It's not a salient point to Sharon's plot. It doesnt belong in Sharon's plot summary. If others disagree, please discuss here and we can come to some sort of decision but please use sense based on what is appropriate for a wiki article on Sharon, not what we want based on a desire to mention Ian based on preference.

Sustained Criticism of the character in her 2012- stint
Shouldn't some reference be made to how poorly received the character has been in her most recent and on-going stint. It's not just amongst the online fan base several soap mags have taken the micky out of the character and have suggested she serves no purpose anymore. One soap mag editor even suggested on Twitter that they should sack Dean and hire Conchita Wurst in her place! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.100.14 (talk) 10:12, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Sharon Mitchell redirect
I hve noticed that there doesn't seem to be a Sharon Mitchell redirect towards this page, which I think probabaly should be as it is the characters current surname. I know a Sharon Mitchell page already exists for a real-life person but perhaps a Sharon Mitchell (EastEnders)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.57.212.119 (talk) 16:05, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I think I had looked at the fact there was already a page for a Sharon Mitchell and decided that, as it would need to be piped anyway, a diambiguated redirect wasn't worth it. But I shall create it now as we should still have a redirect. – Anemone Projectors – 11:47, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Preservationist

Preservationist is generally understood to mean historic preservationist: one who advocates to preserve architecturally or historically significant buildings, structures, objects, or sites from demolition or degradation. Historic preservation usually refers to the preservation of the built environment, not to the preservation of, for instance, primeval forests or wilderness.

Preservationist is, however, sometimes used descriptively in other contexts, notably with regards to language and the environment.

Other uses of the term
Persons who work to preserve ancient or endangered languages are called language preservationists.

 * Clarification: Ethnologue, a reference work published by SIL International, has cataloged the world's known living languages, and it estimates that 417 languages are on the verge of extinction.

Preservationist is also sometimes used in the natural environmentalist field, but while the natural environment conservationist movements preserve ecosystems and the natural environment, this movement is widely known as conservation or environmentalism.

 * Clarification: A key difference between the Preservationist and Conservationist environmentalist schools is this: Preservationists view the environment as having intrinsic value that should be preserved by making as little change to it as possible. Conservationists view the environment as having instrumental value that can be of help to people, and generally accept Gifford Pinchot's notion of sustainable yield: that man can harvest some forest or animal products from a natural environment on a regular basis without compromising the long-health of the ecosystem.

Preservationism has been defined by Richard Heinberg in his book Powerdown: Options and Actions for a Post-Carbon World as distinguishing survivalist groups who wish merely to survive a collapse of civilization from preservationist communities who wish to preserve as much of human culture as is possible in the event of collapse.

 * Clarification: The idea of preservationist communities is part of a broader strategy in which individuals achieve independence from the centralized power grid, forming sustainable communities that could provide mutual support in the event of critical depletion of non-renewable resources.

Notable historic preservationists
Some of the notable historic preservationists who are or have been advocates for the protection of the built environment include:
 * Michael Henry Adams (American, Harlem historian, writer, activist)
 * Simeon Bankoff (American preservationist and activist)
 * Katharine Seymour Day (1870–1964) American preservationist from Hartford, Connecticut

 * Ann Pamela Cunningham (1816–1875) American pioneering activist)
 * James Marston Fitch (1909–2000) American architect, teacher, activist)

 * Jane Jacobs (1916–2006) American-Canadian writer, activist)
 * Carolyn Kent (1935–2009) American, Upper Manhattan activist)
 * Charles, Prince of Wales (British activist)
 * Sergio Rossetti Morosini (1953– ) Brazilian-American preservationist and activist)
 * Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1924–1994) American activist, writer)
 * W. Brown Morton III (American governmental and international historian, writer, activist)
 * William J. Murtagh (American governmental historian, writer)
 * Lee H. Nelson (1927–1994) American governmental administrator, writer, teacher)
 * Charles E. Peterson (1906–2004) American seminal activist)
 * Halina Rosenthal (1918–1991) American activist, Upper East Side of Manhattan)
 * George Sheldon (1818–1916) American Senator, farmer, writer)
 * Arlene Simon (American activist, Upper West Side of Manhattan)

Priestley (lunar crater)

Priestley is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon from the Earth, in the low southern latitudes. It lies to the southeast of the flooded crater Kugler.

This is a worn crater with a rim and inner wall that have been softened and have lost the sharp features of a young crater. The satellite crater Priestley X lies across the northern rim and part of the inner wall. There is a small, relatively fresh crater on the inner wall to the south-southwest. An old crater-like feature is attached to the southwestern outer rim, and shares part of its rim with Priestley. The inner wall is narrower in the southeast than elsewhere. Within the interior is a level, featureless floor.

A depression in the surface to the south of Priestley has been flooded with lava, leaving a level plain with a low albedo. This flooded area stretches to the west and then to the northwest, and is about four times as long as Priestley is wide.

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

Talk:Dar al-Manasir

Untitled
This article has been initiated by [mailto:david@haberlah David Haberlah] 06/2005.

All information on the Manasir supplied by the user David Haberlah results from his field research in Dar al-Manasir in February and March 2005 as a member of the team of Humboldt University Nubian Expedition (H.U.N.E.). H.U.N.E. is headed by the directors Prof. Dr. CLAUDIA NÄSER and Prof. Dr. FRANK KAMMERZELL of the Seminar of Northeast African Archaeology and Cultural Studies primarily responsible for conducting salvage archaeology on the islands of Shiri, Sherari, Sur and Us, and the left bank of the Nile between Salamat and Gebel Musa. In addition H.U.N.E. decided to launch a subproject dealing with the culture of the native Manasir.

This ethnographical research has been financed by the "Programm Kulturerhalt" of the German Department of Foreign Affairs as a contribution to the preservation of the culture of the Manasir. All Manasir living in their homeland Dar al-Manasir are going to be relocated as a result of the flooding of the Hamdab High Dam in the coming years. There is an urgent need for further anthropological research and programs of cultural preservation. The initial author David Haberlah hopes that the nature of Wikipedia will attract both researchers and Manasir to expand the freely available information and knowledge about the Manasir tribe.

I would like to encourage everybody to list academic articles concerning Dar al-Manasir that cannot be published on the Internet here. A copy of new articles should be submitted to the Sudanese National Library to be available to the Sudanese public. In case that you can provide material about the Manasir that does not suit the requirements of Wikipedia, Wikisource or Wikimedia please contact [mailto:david@haberlah H.U.N.E.], who is running the Hompage of Dar al-Manasir.

Will Sergeant

William Alfred Sergeant (born 12 April 1958) is an English guitarist, best known for being a member of Echo & the Bunnymen. Born in Walton Hospital, he grew up in the village of Melling and attended nearby Deyes Lane Secondary Modern. He is the group's only constant member.

Career
As a solo artist, Sergeant focused on minimalism and atmospherics, and usually released entirely instrumental music. Sergeant's first solo work was in 1978, when he self-produced Weird As Fish and made a total of seven copies. The album was officially released 25 years later. Early in the life of Echo & the Bunnymen, Sergeant recorded La Vie Luonge, a soundtrack piece for a short Bunnymen concert film of the same name. His first formal solo album, Themes for Grind, was released in 1982, while still active with Echo & the Bunnymen, and reached number 6 on the Indie album chart.

Sergeant continued with the Bunnymen even after Ian McCulloch left in 1988, bringing in Noel Burke to sing on Reverberation in 1990, before breaking up the band in 1993. In 1994, Sergeant and McCulloch reunited to form Electrafixion. The band toured extensively and released one album, Burned, in 1995. After a few singles and more touring, the band began to play a large number of old Echo & the Bunnymen songs at their shows. In 1996, the Bunnymen reformed.

Sergeant also returned to solo work in 1997, under the moniker Glide, producing experimental, ambient and psychedelic instrumental music based around keyboard and electronic sounds. That year, he released the live Space Age Freak Out, followed by another live album, Performance, in 2000. Glide began to tour, and would often open for Echo & the Bunnymen in the early 2000s. Glide released Curvature of the Earth in 2004.

Sergeant has guested on Primal Scream's "When the Bombs Drop" (2006) and Baltic Fleet's self-titled debut album (2008).

In 2013 Will Sergeant and Les Pattinson, ex-bass player with Echo & the Bunnymen, formed "Poltergeist" with former Black Velvets drummer Nick Kilroe. They have been playing live and released an album called Your Mind Is A Box (Let Us Fill It With Wonder) in June 2013. Sergeant told journalist Jon Cronshaw that: “We don’t want to have to stick to the verse-chorus-verse format, because that’s what we have to do in the Bunnymen. We’re trying to do something that’s a bit different, and a bit more open-ended. We can do anything with this project because we’re not governed by any preconceptions about what people expect. If we wanted, we could do a 40-minute ambient nose flute solo if we really wanted, you know? I just like that aspect that we can take it anywhere.”

In 2021 he published Bunnyman, the first part of his autobiography covering his childhood and the formation of Echo and the Bunnymen up until just before they replaced the drum machine with Pete de Freitas. The second part, Echoes was published in 2023.

Equipment
Throughout his time with the Bunnymen in the 1980s, Sergeant used a black Fender Telecaster with much reverb and delay. This gave the Bunnymen sound a clear, cutting tone. On several occasions during the '80s Sergeant would use a Fender Jaguar guitar. He used a Fender Stratocaster to a great extent on the 1987 Echo & the Bunnymen album. In the music video for "Lips Like Sugar," he can be seen playing a vintage Hagström Deluxe 90, (possibly a prop since the performance is lip-synched to the studio track). When the Bunnymen reformed in 1997 he started using his Jaguar as his main instrument with a lot of tremolo. He also uses a Vox 12 string guitar.

Treinta y Tres

Treinta y Tres is the capital city of the Treinta y Tres Department in eastern Uruguay. It is known for its role in the development of folk music.

History
Its name means "Thirty Three" and refers to the 19th-century national heroes, the 33 Orientales, who established the independence of Uruguay in 1825. Coincidentally, the city is located near the 33°S line of latitude, making the name doubly appropriate.

On 10 March 1853 it was declared a "Pueblo" (village) by the Act of Ley Nº 307 and on 20 September 1884 it was made capital of the department created by Ley Nº 1.754. According to the Act of Ley Nº 3.544, on 19 July 1909 it held the status of "Villa" (town), which was elevated to "Ciudad" (city) on 29 September 1915 by the Act of Ley 5.335.

Six years later, in 1859, the first school for children was inaugurated. Three years later, in 1862, the first school for girls began to operate.

The first trip that connects Treinta y Tres with Montevideo was made in 1861 by a stagecoach service, but only in 1866 did this service become permanent, also linking the city with Río Branco, Melo, and Nico Pérez. It was linked by railroad in 1912.

Population
In 2011, Treinta y Tres had a population of 25,477. It is by far the largest town in what is a sparsely populated department. Together with Ejido de Treinta y Tres and the southwestern suburb of Villa Sara, they form a population centre of around 33,000 inhabitants.

Economy
The economy of Treinta y Tres is based on livestock and derived products. Currently, rice is the main crop grown, flourishing among the city's many rivers. This activity has given a great boost to the region's economy, promoting the pre-cooked products industry and the installation of rice mills. In recent years, there has also been a significant boom in the cement and limestone industry.

Geography
The city is located on Route 8, on the north banks of Olimar Grande River. The city is almost surrounded by a populated rural area, a zone of chacras (ranches), known as Ejido de Treinta y Tres.

Climate
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Treinta y Tres has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.

Places of worship

 * St. Joseph the Worker Parish Church (Roman Catholic)
 * Parish Church of Our Lady of the Thirty-Three (Roman Catholic)
 * Parish Church of the Holy Savior (Roman Catholic)

Highland Airways

Highland Airways was an airline based in Inverness, Scotland. It ceased trading on 24 March 2010 after failing to secure new investment. The airline operated passenger and freight charters as well as scheduled services from its main base at Inverness Airport. Other services included newspaper distribution to the northern and Western Isles and, until recently, charter services for corporate clients. Highland Airways was under talks for a buyout by Perth-based, Air Charter Scotland. Aircraft were also based at Cardiff Airport.

The company held a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence. It was permitted to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.

History
The airline was established and started operations in 1991. It was founded as Air Alba, operating for four years as a flying school. It was renamed Highland Airways in February 1997 in recognition of Captain Ted Fresson, the man who pioneered flight in the area and founded the original Highland Airways. When the newspaper industry relocated their charter departure point for Scottish islands to Inverness in 1998, Highland won the contract to provide two BAe Jetstream 31 aircraft per day for this task. One of these aircraft also carried business and leisure passengers on its "Island hopper" service as well as freight.

Highland also expanded into contract work for the oil industry based in Aberdeen during 1998. Highland aircraft facilitated crew changes, business delegations, emergency freight or technician movements for the industry, meaning Highland Airways aircraft were regular visitors to the west coast of Ireland, the Faroe Islands and destinations in Norway including Stavanger and Bergen. The airline also began operating corporate charter services, most notably for BAE Systems, providing a daily service between Glasgow and the company's Filton Aerodrome, as well as flights for financial companies, electronics, utilities, whisky and the public sector. Highland have largely moved away from oil industry work, and after recent concerns about the financial stability of the company the BAE contract has been terminated and is now operated by Eastern Airways.

General aviation and ground handling facilities were provided by Highland at Stornoway and Benbecula, servicing both the airline itself and other operators.

Experience with Jetstream and Cessna aircraft allowed the airline to occasionally carry out engineering work for third-party operators at its engineering facility in Inverness.

Highland also won a 5-year contract to operate, crew and maintain two Cessna F406 reconnaissance aircraft on behalf of the Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency. These aircraft were based in Inverness and wore SFPA markings.

In March 2007 Highland Airways underwent a management buyout from Atlantic Holdings led by A Mossman and had 100 employees (at January 2008). The buyout had been supported by an investment of £620,000 by the public Highlands and Islands Enterprise development agency.

Highland Airways operated an intra-Wales flight connecting the north (Anglesey Airport) to the south (Cardiff Airport). Highland operated a BN2 Islander aircraft from Oban to Coll, Colonsay and Tiree under a contract with Argyll and Bute Council

On 24 March 2010, the airline was placed into voluntary administration, and all flights were cancelled, with no further bookings being taken. Highland Airways said that PricewaterhouseCoopers was taking over operation of the airline, and planned to transfer the services operated by Highland Airways to new operators. Following its bankruptcy, it has been revealed that the airline's debts run to more than £3.2m. Highland Airways' creditors were owed £1.13m, which includes a claim for more than £50,000 from Argyll and Bute Council.

Destinations
At the time of its closure in March 2010, Highland Airways operated services to the following scheduled destinations:

 * Scotland
 * Benbecula - Benbecula Airport
 * Coll - Coll Airport
 * Colonsay - Colonsay Airport
 * Inverness - Inverness Airport (Base)
 * Oban - North Connel
 * Stornoway - Stornoway Airport
 * Tiree - Tiree Airport
 * Wales
 * Anglesey - Anglesey Airport
 * Cardiff - Cardiff Airport

Service between Benbecula and Stornoway was under contract from Comhairle nan Eilean Siar.

Fleet
The Highland Airways fleet consisted of the following eleven aircraft at the time of its closure in March 2010:

Sommerfeld (crater)

Sommerfeld is a sizable lunar impact crater situated in the far northern latitudes of the Moon. Located on the far side, it can only be observed from orbit. Positioned to the south of Sommerfeld is Rowland, a crater about the same size as Sommerfeld. Southeast of Sommerfeld lies the huge walled plain Birkhoff.

This crater is classified as a walled plain on the lunar surface, characterized by a relatively flat interior encircled by a ring mountain. Its outer rim exhibits moderate erosion, retaining traces of a terrace structure albeit softened and rounded. Along the rim edge and inner wall to the south and southeast, several small craterlets are present. Additionally, a merged pair of small craters is attached to the southern outer rim. The inner wall appears slightly wider along the eastern side, possibly due to deposits of ejecta from nearby impacts.

The interior floor of Sommerfeld consists of a nearly level plain, likely smoothed out by deposits of materials over time. Some small craters are observed on the eastern edge of the interior. Notably, there is no central peak complex, with only a small hill present at the midpoint.

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

Talk:Sami Parliaments

Div
I cannot see what this article has to do with the Sami Parliament. 20:57, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This article had 'norway-stub', but the parliament isn't only about Norway.

Skolt Sami name
The skolt sami name seems to be broken and should be fixed.Labongo 13:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but what's wrong with it? It shows up fine here. -Yupik 09:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems fine to me also today. Was probably just a browser/font issue.Labongo 10:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Split article
I propose splitting the article into three parts (Norway, Finland and Sweden). I don't see any reason for having a single article as these are three separate parliaments. Any objections?Labongo 10:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't have any objections to it. I started writing them all in the same article since there was only one article about the "Sami Parliament". It would probably be though a good idea to have a more general article about all the parliaments with links to the more specific parliament articles. -Yupik 19:14, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

 * OK. I have split out the Norwegian parliament article. The other two will follow once they have been extended. Perhaps the general article could be under Sami government and be about the old siida system the Sami paliaments, and the Sami Nordic council?Labongo 09:24, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Proposal:
 * 1) Move whole article to Sámi politics.
 * 2) Five equal sections: Sámi pre-parliamentarian political history; Sámi parliaments as
 * of today; Sámi presidents; Other Sámi political entities (ministries, etc).

 * If there's no negative reactions to this idea within a week, I'll do it.
 * --Misha bb (talk) 08:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

WXNY-FM

WXNY-FM (96.3 FM La X 96.3) is a commercial radio station that broadcasts an Hispanic rhythmic format. It is licensed to New York City, and serves the New York metropolitan area. WXNY is owned by Uforia Audio Network and its transmitter is located at the Empire State Building in Midtown Manhattan.

History
The station first came on the air on 105.9 FM in 1964 as WHBI. The call letters stood for original owners Hoyt Brothers Incorporated. In the 1980s, the station - by then property of Multicultural Broadcasting - went by the call letters WNWK, and aired leased-access ethnic programming. (This time the call letters stood for NeWarK, its city of license.). In May 1998, Multicultural sold 105.9 FM to Heftel Broadcasting, a company at the time that owned Spanish language radio stations. Under the deal, Multicultural would be paid cash plus Heftel's second AM Radio station 930 WPAT which was running Radio Korea and other brokered programs. WPAT would drop Korea and pick up most of WNWK's brokered shows. Heftel's plans were to flip 105.9 to a Spanish Language mass appeal format of some sort.

Caliente 105.9
In May 1998, 105.9 FM started playing hit Spanish music as "Caliente 105.9" ("Hot 105.9"), with the call letters WCAA. Heftel Broadcasting in a corporate deal became known as Hispanic Broadcasting.

105.9 Latino Mix
In September 1999, the station changed its moniker to "105.9 Latino Mix" ("105.9 Latin Mix"). Eventually in another corporate deal Univision purchased Hispanic Broadcasting and entered into radio, making WCAA as well as WADO Univision owned. In February 2004, the station's owner, Univision Communications bought the 92.7 FM frequency in Garden City, New York which was the home of WLIR-FM and made it a western Long Island simulcast of 105.9 under the call letters WZAA. (While most New York City FM stations broadcast at 6,000 watts, 105.9 only has 600 watts of power, so 92.7 was used to give better coverage to Nassau County and Queens.)

105.9 La Kalle
On May 27, 2005, WCAA adapted a reggaeton format with the branding La Kalle, which is a fanciful spelling of La Calle, Spanish for "the street."

The station's HD2 station, which it was launched in 2006, aired the original "Caliente/Latino Mix" format (The Tropical music format).

In the summer of 2006, Univision launched the national affiliates page for its "La Kalle" stations around the United States, the Mini-Page also includes Quick-Links to live audio streams of other La Kalle stations.

Also in mid-2006, the station adopted the slogan "Yo Soy La Kalle!" ("I Am La Kalle!"), thus replacing the "Reggaeton y Mas" slogan from its format change. The new slogan was also part of a nationwide promotional campaign that Univision adopted for most of its other La Kalle affiliates.

In late December 2006, the station dropped the "Yo Soy La Kalle" slogan for the slogan "El Movimento Latino" (in English, "The Latino Movement"). In February 2007, the La Activaeda Block and SUBELO Midday Mix switched DJs: DJ Kazzanova ran the 5 p.m. mix programming, and station resident DJ, DJ SpinOne, mixed the Midday Mix; however, some of the DJs were still in the station mixing in club broadcasts and mix shows, notably DJ Presice, who was still doing the Saturday "The Show" block and DJ Rey-Mo who was mixing on La Kalle during select live club mix broadcasts. In mid-April 2007, the regular La Activaeta Block returned with the same schedule before the Kazzanova-SpinOne switch.

On January 11, 2007, Univision dropped the La Kalle simulcast by flipping 92.7 WZAA to a regional Mexican format, known as 92.7 Qué Buena.

In an unprecedented decision by station executives in mid-February 2007, the station started playing more of their old format as opposed to just Reggaeton 24/7. Some of the schedule changes were to blame for this format mix-up. The station aired a mix of Bachata and Salsa, with Reggaeton still being a primary format. These changes had no effect on the mix shows, but DJ Kazzanova played some Bachata/Salsa sometimes during his mix shifts (not "SUBELO Reggaeton Radio", his syndicated Reggaeton show airing on this station). Also, in a TV advertisement spot, the new format mix was shown when one of the Bachata songs was shown in the ad.

These changes culminated on January 17, 2008 when Luis Jimenez returned to New York airwaves with his nationally syndicated morning show, The Luis Jimenez Show, until his cancellation on July 16, 2014, after 7 years because of low ratings. The format was similar to the "Latino Mix" format that dominated the station before 2005.

Move to 96.3 FM as X96.3
On July 14, 2009, it was announced that WCAA would move to the 96.3 frequency as a result of Univision radio buying the frequency. As a result, at 8 p.m. on October 8, 2009, classical WQXR-FM moved from 96.3 to 105.9, while WCAA moved to 96.3, dropped the La Kalle name and adopted a new name on October 15. It had been speculated the imaging for the station name would be "X96.3", as Univision had registered the domain name X963FM.com, as well as requesting the call letters WXNY. In addition, the RDS text data on car radios was displaying "96 X". The station stunted with different genres of Spanish music and liners that pointed to the launch of the new branding, which took place on October 15 at 6 a.m. At that time, the station relaunched as "X 96.3" with call letters of WXNY-FM.

On May 19, 2014, the station shifted towards a Hurban format. The station also updated its slogan to "¡Música Urbana y Mucho Más!"

On November 9, 2016, the station shifted to Spanish Rhythmic AC format with "Super Hits: El Sonido de Hoy" slogan.

On September 19, 2018, the station updated its to slogan to "El Ritmo de New York".

Evdokiya Rostopchina

Evdokiya Petrovna Rostopchina (née Sushkova; Евдокия Петровна Ростопчина; December 23, 1811 – December 3, 1858) was a Russian poet.

Biography
After losing her mother at the age of six, Evdokiya Sushkova grew up in Moscow in the family of her maternal grandfather, Ivan Alexandrovich Pashkov. The young girl was fond of reading and learned German, French, Italian, and English.

In 1831, her friend Pyotr Vyazemsky published her first poem, "Talisman", in his almanac Severnye Tsvety (Northern Flowers). In 1833, she married count Andrey Fedorovich Rostopchin, a rich son of the former Moscow commander-in-chief, Fyodor Rostopchin.

In 1836, the family moved to Petersburg, where the countess was well received in the high intellectual society of the capital. Her literary work was supported by such poets as Lermontov, Pushkin, Zhukovsky. Ogarev, Mey, and Tyutchev devoted their poems to her. Her popular literary salon hosted such famous guests as Vyazemsky, Gogol, Myatlev, Pletnyov, and others.

Poems about unrequited love comprised a large part of her poetry. In 1839, she published a book Descriptions of High Society, which was ignored both by readers and critics. Although Rostopchina also wrote prose and comedy, these works did not enjoy any particular success.

During her trip abroad in 1845, the poet wrote an allegorical ballad named "Forced Marriage" (Насильный брак), in which she condemned Russia's relationship with Poland. On the orders of enraged Nicholas I, Rostopchina was forbidden to appear in the capital; and till the death of the tsar, she lived in Moscow.

Rostopchina continued to write poems, plays, and translations, but public interest in her work already decreased. In the last years of her life, she ridiculed various literary movements in Russia; as a result, she found herself in complete isolation. Almost forgotten by the public and succumbing after two years of sickness, Rostopchina died on December 3, 1858.

Stefan (crater)

Stefan is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon, just beyond the northwestern limb. Attached to the western rim is the slightly smaller crater Wegener, and close to the eastern rim is Rynin.

As with many craters of this size on the Moon, the outer rim has been worn by impact erosion and the edge and inner wall are generally pitted with small craterlets. The southern edge of the rim in particular has been damaged by impacts, and is overlain by the satellite crater Stefan L. This bowl-shaped crater lies at the center of a small ray system, which is indicative of a relatively young impact.

The interior floor of Stefan is a generally level surface that is marked by several impacts. The most notable is a ring-shaped crater rim projecting up through the southern half of the floor. Near the midpoint is a low hill, possibly the buried remnant of a central peak.

Stefan lies at the approximate margin of the Coulomb-Sarton Basin, a 530 km wide impact crater of Pre-Nectarian age.

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

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Hampshire/archive1

Hampshire
Partly a self-nomination, as myself and the UK geography WikiProject have masively expanded the article over the past couple of weeks. From the references I've run out of things to add, so I think the article is pretty comprehensive. Compare with Dorset, which is already featured. Joe D (t) 21:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Very interesting to read. Meelar (talk) 21:07, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. I don't have a strong opinion about this article, and that is probably because in general it is just flat to read. There isn't anything wrong with it as such, it's just that Hampshire isn't that interesting a place. Harro5 21:23, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Object Nothing on sport. I think there should be a section on that. Southampton and Portsmouth have football clubs. Hambledon is important to the history of cricket. Hampshire County Cricket Club is at the Rose Bowl. There must be loads of sailing and yachting with the Solent nearby. Also, the picture of "Southampton from Netley Hospital" looks like a lot of grass and some trees - I thought Southampton was an urban area, jguk 22:15, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, done (except the image caption, which is correct, though the foreground is dominated by the hospital grounds). Joe D (t) 23:21, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * You can't see Southampton in that picture (unless you expand its size greatly). It's a misleading caption that should be removed - or perhaps better the whole picci could be removed. It's still not in the same league as Mumbai yet, jguk 19:23, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Object on several grounds:
 * Source citation is inadequate. For example, I recall that only the western half of the county was occupied by Jutes so I wish to check the assertion that the county was occupied by Jutish tribes. Theo (Talk)
 * Response: Reference and filmography added 6-6-05.
 * I have split the endnotes from the references. It feel that more inline source citations would be better but insisting on rigourous citation seems inappropriate. --Theo  (Talk) 07:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Significant omissions include:
 * Culture including sport (already noted by jguk above), educational institutions (e.g. University of Southampton, and Winchester College), theatres (e.g. the Nuffield Theatre company developed West End shows), and fine art (e.g. Millais was a native, and Lowry was a regular visitor and painted local scenes).
 * East Hampshire is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
 * Famous residents including Gilbert White (Natural History of Selborne), Captain Oates, Benny Hill, and Craig David.
 * Historically, the Mayflower, the Titanic, and Supermarine (manufacturers of the Spitfire aircraft and flying boats).
 * The Boat Show.
 * Basingstoke as a financial centre, not just a traditional market town.
 * "Hampshire Hog" as the nickname for those born in the county.
 * Theo (Talk) 23:26, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * OK, added several of these and will look into adding theatres and people tommorow. I'm not sure whether the Titanic should go on the main article, but I'll certainly add that and other notable ships to History of Hampshire later.  Can you clarify the Mayflower connection?  I'd never heard of a connection and the Mayflower article doesn't mention Hampshire.  Joe D (t) 23:58, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The loss of the Titanic is a defining moment in Hampshire's history because it involved the loss of so many residents of Southampton (the county town). The Mayflower originally departed Southampton; this is stated in that article. --Theo (Talk) 07:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose for some quibbles. It seems odd for an English county's area and other measurements to be given in square miles first, then kilometers (the infobox only gives kilometers).  Also, I assume the source for the demographics in the infobox is Office for National Statistics & Hampshire County Council, but that should be specifically cited in some way.  The first sentence under "Physical geography" is odd -- is that a geological use of categories? (also why is that section "physical geography" but the main article "geology"? I suggest sticking with one or the other)  And the second sentence refers to a "weak" variety of clay, which I guess uses some meaning of "weak" I'm not familiar with.  There are an awful lot of statistics under "economy" that aren't cited, but should be (also under "transport"). Tuf-Kat 23:41, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * What's odd about miles? They're more commonly used than metric for measuring large distances.  The sub-article of Physical geography is partly named such as a standardisation of the sub-article names across counties, and partly because the only other physical geography in the section is climate, for which there isn't enough to say for an extra article, or to split the section into geology and climate sections.  The first sentence of geology is simply saying Hampshire can be divided in two by what its geology and landscape are like, I'll try and think of a less ambiguous way to phrase it though.  I'll go and change "weak" to "non-resistant" and link to the sources now.  Joe D (t) 23:58, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose I agree that a culture section should be added, universites should also be mentioned somewhere. The seascapes are lovely but don't really give an impression of the city areas or urban environment, the cathedral in that pic is compltetly obscured by a large tree, so you have one from a different angle. Also, what's the sifnificance of the yellow shaded regions on the district map?--nixie 04:50, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak support I'm sure the length can be expanded. Object Agree completely with nixie. Would also like to see average temperatures, rainfall; and the sports section expanded. = Nichalp ( Talk )= 11:58, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comments: I've added stats to the climate paragraph and changed some photos around to hopefully give a better idea of the towns and cities, but since I don't live in Hampshire and only rarely pass through it I don't have that many photos of my own to use, so am mainly relying on what other people have uploaded already. I've added a little culture, but haven't added Nuffield because I don't have and can't find a reference for its notability.  The yellow areas are independent unitary authorities as it says in the list below the map. Update: I've also added a sentence linking to the universities in the settlements section, which I think is probably all that's needed on this topic for this page.  Joe D (t) 16:19, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Joseph Robidoux IV

Joseph Robidoux IV (1783–1868), was an American fur trader credited as the founder of St. Joseph, Missouri, which developed around his Blacksnake Hills Trading Post. His buildings in St. Joseph, known as Robidoux Row, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Of French Canadian descent, he was born in St. Louis, as were his mother and most of his brothers, when it was a predominately French-speaking colonial town.

After he established his trading post on the Missouri River, it (and the later St. Joseph), became a center for his family enterprise of fur trading. He operated it with his five brothers along the Mississippi and especially the Missouri River systems.

Biography
Robidoux was the oldest of the six sons of Joseph Robidoux III (born in Sault-au-Recollet, Montreal, 12 February 1750-, date of death unknown), a fur trader, and Catherine Rollet (born in St. Louis, Missouri, October 20, 1767; died in 1868). Joseph Robidoux IV was born August 5, 1783, in Saint Louis, as were the six of his seven brothers who survived to adulthood. This was before it was acquired by the United States as part of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase of French territory west of the Mississippi River.

Joseph Robidoux IV was the grandson of Joseph Robidoux (13 SEPT 1722 • Montreal, St-Laurent-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, L'Île-d'Orléans, Quebec, Canada] in 1722) and Marie-Anne Leblanc (13 JAN 1728 • Île-Dorléans, Montmorency, Quebec, Canada). He grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, where his father introduced him and his brothers Francois, Pierre Isidore, Antoine, Louis, and Michael to the family business of fur trading at an early age. (Weber, pp. 36)

In 1799, at the age of 16, Joseph began accompanying fur traders to the upper Missouri River, where they traded with a variety of Native American tribes.

1803–1822
In 1803, Robidoux was sent by his father to organize a trading post at Fort Dearborn, the site of present-day Chicago. His early success there annoyed other traders, who engaged Indians to harass the young man and drive him from the area. During this time he fell in love with the daughter of the village blacksmith. The father did not give permission for his daughter to marry Robidoux, purportedly saying that some of the Robidoux family had surrendered their soul to the devil.

In 1805, Joseph's wife of four years, Eugénie Delisle, died. She and Joseph had had two children, a daughter, Messanie, who preceded her mother in death, and a son, Joseph F. Robidoux. Later using the given name of Joseph, he also became a trader.

In 1809, the senior Robidoux established a trading post near the site of present-day North Omaha, Nebraska. He operated his trading post in the Council Bluffs area until 1822, when the American Fur Company bought him out and offered him $1,000 a year to refrain from competing with them. A later post at the North Omaha site was operated by and named for Jean Pierre Cabanné. During the years of the War of 1812 and hostilities with British forces along the northern frontier, the Robidoux brothers had to pull their activities back to the St. Louis area.

In 1813, the widower Robidoux married Angélique Vaudry. They had seven children together: six sons and one daughter (Faraon, Julius, Francis, Felix, Edmond, Charles, and Sylvanie).

1823–1842
After Robidoux returned to St. Louis about 1823, he worked as a baker and confectioner. In 1826, he was hired by the American Fur Company to establish a trading post at the Blacksnake Hills (near the site on the Missouri River of present-day Saint Joseph, Missouri.) He remained their employee for four years, at the salary of $1,800 a year, before becoming an independent trader.

Built prior to 1830, Robidoux's home was located on the northwest corner of 2nd & Jules streets in Saint Joseph. It was the first building in the settlement. The house was later removed to Krug Park as a historic attraction.

Robidoux prospered in the years between 1830 and 1843, employing as many as 20 ethnic French men to engage in trade with the Native Americans to the west of his post. When Missouri entered the union in 1821, the state's western boundary was based on the Kaw River mouth in the Kansas City West Bottoms (approximately 94 degrees 36 minutes West longitude). The land where St. Joseph is now located belonged by treaty to the Ioway Tribe and the combined Sac and Fox tribe. As a licensed trader, Robidoux was legally allowed to be in the area as a trader.

Robidoux was the most spectacular example of several enterprising white settlers who encroached on Indian land. Faced with the possibilities of more encroachment, the tribes in 1836 agreed to sell what is now the northwest corner of Missouri for $7,500 to the federal government in a deal at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. It was presided over by William Clark (one of the leaders of the Lewis and Clark expedition). The transaction, called the Platte Purchase, added an area almost the combined size of Rhode Island and Delaware to the State of Missouri.

During this era, one of Robidoux's African-American slaves, Jeffrey Deroine, sued for his freedom, claiming abuse by Robidoux. Deroine lost the case, but his friends later purchased his freedom. Deroine rose to prominence for his skills as a trader and linguist, becoming a well-known U.S. Government translator and diplomat.

1843–1868
In 1843, Robidoux hired Frederick W. Smith and Simeon Kemper to design a town for him on his land around the trading post. Under Kemper's plan the town was to have been called Robidoux, a feature Kemper thought would appeal to the trader. But, Robidoux preferred Smith's plan, as it featured more narrow streets, thus leaving more land for him to sell in the form of lots.

Plans for the town were filed with the clerk of Common Pleas in St. Louis on July 26, 1843. Shortly thereafter, Robidoux began selling lots, with corner lots going for $150.00 and interior lots $100.00.

Saint Joseph prospered quickly in the years after its founding, growing from a population of 800 in 1846 to 8,932 in 1860. Joseph Robidoux remained a prominent citizen. His early trading offices are known as Robidoux Row; the complex is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. He led many development issues until his death, at the age of 85, in 1868. Present-day Saint Joseph retains the downtown streets which he named for his children and his second wife Angélique.

Family
Joseph was married three times. His first wife was Eugénie DeLisle (1704–1805)?, who was ethnic French like him. Joseph and Eugenie had two children:
 * Messanie (died early)
 * Joseph (b. 1802)

Secondly, Joseph married a Native American woman when he operated a trading post at Scott's Bluff from 1849-1851. She may have been Shoshone. The couple had one child:
 * Mary Many Days (1805–1884). She married Ioway chief Francis White Cloud. Robidoux was grandfather to James White Cloud and Jefferson White Cloud, who were later named as Ioway chiefs as adults.

The widowed Robidoux married again. His third wife was Angélique Vaudry, great-granddaughter of Jean-Baptiste Chevalier, one of the early founders of Fort Michilimackinac. The couple had six children who lived to adulthood:
 * Messanie (13 Aug 1814 - 14 Aug 1814)
 * Farron Antoine (Faraon) (3 March 1816 – 1840)
 * François Belvedere (b. 25 February 1818)
 * Felix (5 May 1820 -1873)
 * Edmond Valentine (12 May 1825)
 * Sylvanie (10 March 1827)
 * Charles (10 July 1831 – 1851).

Robidoux had two illegitimate children with Angeline Caroline Jones. Joseph Henry Robidoux Papst was born in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1853 and Madora Rubidoux Papst was born in 1855.

Robidoux died on 27 May 1868, and was buried at the Calvary Cemetery in St. Joseph. His body was relocated to the Mount Olivet Cemetery in 1908 after the original cemetery was abandoned. Losing money to gambling, he did not die a rich man.

Legacy and honors

 * He is the namesake of Roubidoux Creek, a stream in Missouri.
 * St. Joseph, Missouri was named for him, the founder.
 * His buildings known as Robidoux Row, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

WFME-FM

WFME-FM (92.7 FM, Family Radio) is a radio station licensed to Garden City, New York, and serving the western Long Island and New York City area. It is owned by Family Stations, Inc and broadcasts a religious music & reformed Christian teaching, Southern gospel music, and hymns format. The station's transmitter is located at the North Shore Towers in Glen Oaks, Queens.

History
Univision purchased the station in January of, 2004 and simulcast "Latino Mix" WCAA 105.9 FM licensed to Newark, New Jersey (WCAA would later move to 96.3 FM as the result of a frequency swap with classical music station WQXR). On Memorial Day 2005, both stations became "La Kalle," a reggaeton-formatted station. The station at 105.9 became WCAA and 92.7 became WZAA.

In late January 2007, Univision ended the simulcast and changed the call sign to WQBU-FM.

In March 2007, the station announced that they would become the Spanish-language home of the New York Yankees, with Beto Villa as the play-by-play announcer.

In 2010, the station became the Spanish language home of the New York Mets, with Juan Alicea and Max Perez Jimenez with the calls. On November 15, 2012, WQBU-FM changed their format to Spanish Tropical, branded as "Mami 92.7".

On March 31, 2014, WQBU-FM switched to a news/talk format nationally syndicated by Univision America. This makes it the 10th station overall and the first FM station in Univision's portfolio to have the Univision America network.

On October 22, 2014, WQBU-FM changed their format to Regional Mexican, branded as "92.7 Nueva York".

In March 2016, WQBU-FM rebranded as "Que Buena 92.7".

On August 2, 2019, WQBU-FM changed their format from Regional Mexican to Spanish AC, due to 93.1 Amor having dropped the Spanish AC format in the spring of 2018 in favor of Bachata Music.

On November 9, 2020, WQBU-FM began adding Salsa romántica titles from artists such as Eddie Santiago, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Grupo Niche, Jerry Rivera, Willie Colón and Rey Ruiz.

On December 3, 2021, it was announced that the station had been purchased by Family Radio. Upon completing the sale on January 20, 2022, Family Radio announced that, in addition to relaunching the station with its religious programming, it would change the call sign to WFME-FM. The station change occurred at midnight on Friday, January 21, 2022 and 92.7 began broadcast of Family Radio East nationally syndicated programming. The call sign change occurred on January 26, 2022.

Israeli pruta

Pruta (פרוטה, plural: prutot) was a denomination of currency in Israel before 1960.

History
The pruta was introduced shortly after the establishment of the state of Israel, as the 1000th part of the Israeli pound. It replaced the mil, which was the 1000th part of the Palestine pound, a currency issued by the British Mandate of Palestine prior to May 1948.

The word pruta was borrowed from Mishnaic Hebrew, in which it meant "a coin of smaller value". This word was probably derived originally from an Aramaic word with the same meaning. The pruta was abolished in 1960, when the Israeli government decided to change the subdivision of the Israeli pound into 100 agorot. This move was necessary due to the constant devaluation of the Israeli pound, which rendered coins smaller than 10 prutot redundant.

This pruta should not be confused with the halachic pruta, which is the minimal value of money for a variety of halachic applications—among them, the minimal value one is obligated to return if stolen, the minimal value needed to effect a marriage, and the minimal investment needed to be considered an investor (it is equivalent to 0.025 grams of pure silver).

Wikipedia:Peer review/Rum/archive1

Rum
A decent, referenced and increasingly stable article that has had many contributors. Now we need some input to get it in shape for FAC. ike9898 21:03, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * In addition to the need for images mentioned on the talk page, a section on rum in culture is needed. Obvious information for this section includes Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, tiki culture,  Rupert Holmes' Escape (The Piña Colada Song), and Rum and Coca-Cola by The Andrews Sisters.  The Well-known brands section may also need to be spun off to a seperate article to minimize the level of national pride that keeps creeping bank in to the section over time. --Allen3 talk 00:11, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

Goemon Ishikawa XIII

Goemon Ishikawa XIII (十三代目 石川 五ェ門 or 十三代目 石川 五ヱ門) is a fictional character created by Monkey Punch for his manga series Lupin III, which debuted in Weekly Manga Action on August 10, 1967. Goemon is a thirteenth generation descendant of the renegade samurai Ishikawa Goemon. He is famous for a reticent personality coupled by apparent unlimited skill in martial arts and swordsmanship with his sword, known in the anime as. A partner with Arsène Lupin III and Daisuke Jigen, he tends to join their exploits only on a when-interested basis.

Creation
Goemon is unique to the series as he was the only character not there from the beginning. Monkey Punch stated that, as none of the existing cast seemed especially Asian, he added Goemon as "a very traditional Japanese male character" to balance the manga. As such, Goemon was primarily based on the character Kyūzō, the master swordsman of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 film Seven Samurai; from the role came Goemon's strict demeanor and fast draw blade, as well as the long-faced countenance of actor Seiji Miyaguchi.

Description
In the original manga, Goemon first appears as a very dangerous enemy of Lupin in chapter 28. Lupin attempts to steal Goemon's master's alchemic formula for impervious sword blades through infiltration of Goemon's clan, but his cover is blown by Fujiko Mine, who is Goemon's girlfriend at the time. Goemon tries to kill Lupin over the next several installments, making attempts ranging from hiring assassins as skilled as Daisuke Jigen himself, to entering the service of three martial arts masters, to planting bombs in Lupin's belongings. However, he later decides that he could learn more working for Lupin than against him, and rather abruptly switches his allegiance. His position at Lupin's side is cemented when Lupin ruins the government's case against the man who killed Goemon's uncle, allowing Goemon to take his revenge as brutally and publicly as he wants without having to break into prison to do so.

By the events of the second manga series, Lupin trusts Goemon implicitly, and Goemon reciprocates. When a rival of Lupin's captures and hideously tortures Goemon, Goemon refuses to even respond to his interrogation, except to say that Lupin would find him and allow him to take revenge. Lupin then captures and seduces his rival's wife, and uses the information gleaned to rescue Goemon, who slays his captor with Jigen's help.

In the original anime Goemon's relationship to Lupin starts off more professional than close friendship. By the second anime series, Goemon has developed a true loyalty to Lupin. However, he easily gets annoyed by Lupin's antics, especially Lupin's infatuation with women and Fujiko Mine in particular. He will occasionally oppose Lupin directly when Lupin's jobs or actions do not agree with his morals. He has even promised that the last act he will take with Lupin is delivering his deathblow. Yet Goemon doesn't hesitate to help Lupin in serious situations, and readily assists him any time Lupin works for a just cause. However, in 1978's The Mystery of Mamo, he claims that he helps Lupin simply so he can keep his vow to kill him himself.

Goemon has a much more amicable relationship with Jigen. Goemon sees Jigen as a fellow honorable warrior, while Jigen sees Goemon as a trustworthy "foxhole buddy", and the two are frequently paired together during jobs, and usually help keep Lupin in check. On the odd occasion and increasingly in recent years, Goemon will ally himself with Fujiko, in spite of his distrust of her.

Personality
Being a master of several classic Japanese martial arts, Goemon excels at Kenjutsu and Battōjutsu. Using his trademark Zantetsuken sword (carried in an unadorned shirasaya without a hand guard) he has the ability to cut through virtually any substance, even flying bullets, steel girders, automobiles, and multi-storied buildings. His training includes Jujutsu, Aikido, and Karate, enabling barehanded vanquishing of several attackers at once with minimal effort. In spite of his invincible weapon and his martial arts expertise, Goemon prefers to incapacitate rather than kill opponents, usually by destroying their weapons and clothes with lightning fast sweeps of his sword. Since katanas traditionally must cut flesh before being returned to the scabbard, Goemon reacts to his non-lethal use of Zantetsuken by exclaiming "Kachi no nai mono o mōichido kiru" (in English, "Once again, I have cut an unworthy [worthless] object").

Goemon has an extreme sense of pride in his abilities, and when he cannot accomplish a task, feels shame and remorse afterward. Breaking Zantetsuken, as he did in a battle with Flinch in The Mystery of Mamo, is a common cause of shame. He will also feel chagrin when he succumbs to his weaknesses, as when a woman ran off with his sword in Memories of the Flame: Tokyo Crisis. On many of these occasions, Goemon will leave to meditate or further train to rid himself of his weak points.

Goemon shows allegiance to Japanese culture as strictly as his traveling and unique lifestyle can allow. He dresses in a hakama and fundoshi, and prefers wearing his hair long and somewhat unevenly cut. He only eats Japanese cuisine and is willing to fast rather than settle for any Western options. He is a firm believer in Buddhism and Shinto. Although he may toast with champagne, his drink of choice is sake. He occasionally has been seen smoking a kiseru and usually wears a Sugegasa style hat.

Goemon's most often-seen pastime is meditation. Even under threat or when locked up, he is typically seated on the floor in a state of mental seclusion so deep he cannot be budged from his position. Other activities Goemon favors include fishing, attending noh theater, listening to enka jazz, and participating in martial arts competitions.

Although typically a person of mellow aloofness, Goemon has been seen exploding with frustration, admiring beautiful women, and (very rarely) screaming in fright. Such out-of-character moments are usually treated as humorous takes. If Goemon has a true weakness, it is that he's a sucker for women. He readily trusts any woman who seems superficially trustworthy or innocent, often landing him in much trouble. At the same time, he fears sultry women will distract him from his training, and tends to blush or flee when any woman puts him in a less-than-modest situation.

Animation
Goemon Ishikawa was first voiced by Gorō Naya in the CinemaScope version of the 1969 anime pilot film, while Osamu Kobayashi voiced him in the pilot's adapted TV version. Naya preferred the role of Zenigata because he had more lines, and took that role upon the anime's production; Chikao Ōtsuka was given the role of Goemon when the first anime was produced (1971–72). Goemon was taken over by Makio Inoue for the second anime (1977–78), who continued to voice the character until 2010. The only exception was for the 1987 original video animation The Fuma Conspiracy,; due to budget concerns, TMS decided not to employ the regular voice cast, so Goemon was instead voiced by Kaneto Shiozawa.

The 2011 TV special Blood Seal - Eternal Mermaid marked the first appearance of Daisuke Namikawa as Goemon Ishikawa; Namikawa continues to voice Goemon Ishikawa. Inoue briefly return to the role for the 2012 Lupin Family Lineup short original video animation, which reunited all surviving original Lupin III cast members.

William Ross voiced Goemon in the 1979 Toho English dub of The Mystery of Mamo, where his name was changed to "Samurai". Ross founded Frontier Enterprises, the studio that produced this dub under his direction. Other voice actors include Steve Kramer (1992-3, Streamline), Mark Franklin (1995, AnimEigo). Ardwight Chamberlain (1995, Streamline), Garrick Hagon (1996, Manga UK), and Michael Gregory (2000, Animaze/Manga). Mike McFarland voiced the character for Funimation Entertainment's dubs of several TV specials and theatrical films between 2002 and 2005, and their 2013 dub of The Woman Called Fujiko Mine.

Lex Lang voiced Goemon in the Phuuz dub for Pioneer/Geneon's release of the second anime between 2003 and 2006. The Discotek Media dub for Lupin the 3rd Part IV, which largely reunited the Part 2 dub cast, saw the return of Lang as Goemon; he continues to regularly voice the character in dubs of movies and television shows. Lang also voices Goemon in the Bang Zoom! Entertainment dub for spinoff movie Goemon's Blood Spray, which features a different cast for the rest of the main roles.

Live-action
The 2014 film Lupin the Third featured TV and film star Gō Ayano as the first live-action Goemon. Originally it was arranged to present the filmed Goemon in contemporary suit and tie with Director Ryûhei Kitamura expressing "it would be nonsense for Goemon to exist in current society wearing samurai garb and carrying around a katana." Apparently due to the demand of fans world over, this idea was scrapped and the completed film features Gō Ayano as a swordsman wearing robes similar to his drawn and animated counterparts.

Reception
In 2007, Oricon magazine polled readers on which characters they would most like to see in their own series. Goemon appeared in the number eight position on the female readers polls, and seventh place in the combined poll.
