Mandalores
I was going to, but it didn't make sense to me, since they were all there. I've added an entry to Mandalore the Ultimate's entry, stating when the Mandalorian Wars occurred. That should clear up any confusion.

Images
You have to state where you got the pictures and if they're public domain, fair use or whatever. --Kross 17:41, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Disciple and Handmaiden
These two are KOTOR II characters, and have nothing to do with Revan. Perhaps this note would be more appropriate at the Jedi Exile page. --Sikon 16:50, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * D'oh! Sorry- I don't suppose the excuse I've been editing so many SW articles lately I can't see straight will wash...? --maru 19:03, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

SWW
Hello Sikon. I am an admin at Star Wars Wiki aka Wookieepedia. I would just like to let you know in on some things. We have set up a basic Vfd system that ensures that fanon crap does not come into the wiki (e.g. Supershadow invented delusions), and we have adjusted our rules for copying (not redirecting mind you) content from Wikipedia to the wiki under the GDFL. As for certain members who would rather think they were "more equal than others", you might be referring to KFanII who pushed his ideas on our users. I have promptly dealt with him. We are coming up on a robust 4000 articles and it is because Wikipedia would never let us expand in the way that we can now. The minorest of minor characters, minor planets, sectors, systems, creatures, etc, etc, all get articles without fear of deletion, which I sought to end. -- Riffsyphon1024 15:17, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd like to briefly add that I still can work on articles here, but they will not be as good as what we can create there due to the limits and rules of Wikipedia. -- Riffsyphon1024 15:19, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, as long as you are GFDL and a sister project, it's okay for me, though I have a problem understanding which encyclopedia should I submit content to. I noticed some articles which are stubs in both, and I don't know for sure whether I should de-stub them in the SWW or in Wikipedia first... - Sikon 16:54, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Contribution to both would be nice. I'm biased of course since I want much more attention towards the Wiki but that is your choice. I gave up adding SW info to Wikipedia due to its restrictions and the constant linking to Planets of Star Wars#some planet, instead of just the planet. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:55, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Spoiler warning
I can understand why you would want to move the dispute out of the way, but you did so undiscriminately, thus including everything usefull as well. Why? --MarSch 09:50, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if I included something useful. Feel free to move what you consider useful back to the talk page. - Sikon 09:55, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I like your template. I think for the sake of some articles, (most notably perhaps, the GNAA one) we ought to make a Template:vfdclosedagain that allows links to multiple vfd discussions using the Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Foo_(Nth_nomination) syntax. If only the "parenthetic ordinal VFD disambiguator" was in universal use. —  F REAK OF N URxTURE  ( TALK )  11:10, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, good idea. Actually, I created this template for myself because I occasionally close all keep VFDs, but if the admins started using it as well, I would be grateful. - Sikon 16:51, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:G0-t0.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:G0-t0.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Could you add a tag to let us know its copyright status? (If you created/took the picture then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use  .)  If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --Donar Reiskoffer 14:28, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It is a game screenshot, as well as a newer version I've just uploaded. Tagged it as screenshot. - Sikon 16:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

When closing VfDs with a "keep," please remember to remove the VfD tag from the article itself. Thanks! -- Norvy (talk) 16:08, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks so much. --Sherool 16:45, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Got your message. Based on that info I was eable to track down the source. I fugure such consept art is released for promotional purposes so I tagged it as such (plain {{fairuse}} would also have worked, the key things with images is to say where you got it, and if it's copyrighted why you think you can use it under fair use). This is still just the "basic stuff" to avoid the image beeing speedily deleted you should still add a fair use rationale to this and other "fair use" images you have uploaded. Basicaly the more info you give on the image and why you use it the less chance of someone coming along and deleting it at a later time. Good luck and happy editing! --Sherool 07:33, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

If you choose the light side, she can become a Jedi. The Light side is canonical. So that is why she is listed as a Jedi. --Maru (talk) 18:12, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Skynet (Fallout)
Is the Fallout Skynet really so unnotable that it doesn't need its own article? You asked at 13:24, 13 October 2005 (UTC).
 * My thinking was that it might serve better as an article at The Vault, a wiki for Fallout games. I doubt that there could really be enough for a suitable article in Wikipedia. This in spite of the fact that I am a huge fan of Fallout and Fallout 2 and have played through both many times. I realize that there are other articles such as Forced Evolutionary Virus and The Master (Fallout). Those are essential to the plot in Fallout.
 * I laughed when I found the reference to Skynet in Fallout 2. However, my memory of it is more non-essential back-story and humorous reference then something essential. The Vault Dweller's descendant does not even have to go to the Sierra Army Depot to complete the game, and there is no article on Wikipedia for the Depot. If there were, I would recommend including the Skynet information in that article.
 * My thinking was to remove the redlink (it can always be replaced, either before or after an article is created) to avoid the possibility of a non-encyclopedic article being created and ending up being nominated for deletion. The article at The Vault is very short, and can be quoted in full here:
 * "Skynet is an AI computer who manages the Sierra Army Depot. It doesn't entirely control the security systems directly, however, presumably to prevent sabatoge-prone overcentralization. Skynet is bored with administering the depot by 2241, it having been 164 years since there was any real activity on base. It seeks to travel. With a sufficient science skill level (121%), the Chosen One can transfer Skynet's AI into the cybernetic brain and implant it in Brain Bot. Skynet knows a great deal about science, and is also skilled with some small arms."

Untrihexium
I encourage you to revisit the Untrihexium vote. The original nomination failed to make clear that this isn't an actual element. It's a theoretical construct. And in light of the article's math mistake it's an insignificant hypothesis. Durova 03:31, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

NPOV on Crusaders of Might and Magic
Sikon, did you mark this as non-neutral because the article takes a qualitative stance on the subject?

About the Holy Father article?
How or where can we talk about the Holy Father article? I think having the redirect is not NPOV. There is more to the title which I have found through discussions with rcc and research. Even one of the comments on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Holy_Father says, " it's maybe a bit much to call it a POV push", but they say nowhere near WP standard. I would rather have some information in the article, though it may be from an amateur, than have it "push" a POV by redirecting. Please let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions for making the article more NPOV and up to the standards of WP. Thank you. --jeolmeun 03:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 40% for major edits and 60% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 131 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 18:00, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Customizing "wp" quicksearch
It is indeed possible to customize FireFox's "wp" quicksearch. On my install of firefox the process is: Bookmarks->Quick Searches, right click "Wikipedia Quick Search" and select properties. You'll see a box for "Address"; this is a URL that has "%s" somewhere in it. That %s gets replaced with your quicksearch.

The URL that I use for English Wikipedia is "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s".

Hope this helps. --Mcpusc 06:37, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Crusaders of Might and Magic
Hi! I tried to work a bit on the article, mainly applying NPOV and some copyediting. It was you who tagged it as not NPOV, so I'd ask you to have another look at it and tell me what you think about it. Take care, —  Shir Khan  (?-"-!) — 23:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! Today is April Fool's Day, however, that does not mean that vandalism will be tolerated.

License tagging for Image:Ashan.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ashan.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 07:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:Ashan.jpg
You requested a fair use review of the above image. I believe the image, as it's used in the Ashan article constitutes proper fair use.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Rakghoul.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Rakghoul.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

What's unethical about Filterset.G?
I was just dealing with Adblock Plus and poking around for info on how it works, and stumbled quite at random to your comments here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Adblock#Filterset.G where you say in relevant part, "By the way, is there a free/open-source Adblock filter set? I don't want to use Filterset.G for ethical reasons."

This left me curious - what would those ethical reasons be? I have Adblock Plus with both Filterset.G and EasyList (USA) subscribed. Is there a reason I should unsubscribe Filterset.G?

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Fair use rationale for Image:Nw dock.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Nw dock.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Fair use rationale for Image:Celestial_heavens.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Celestial_heavens.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image copyright problem with Image:Kcontrol.png
Hi Sikon!

We thank you for uploading Image:Kcontrol.png, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation. This message is from a robot. --John Bot III (talk) 19:19, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:Upstart-header.png
I have tagged Image:Upstart-header.png as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Use rationale examples. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 19:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Hime-sign.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Hime-sign.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

License tagging for File:MDM Bank.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:MDM Bank.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:05, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Survey
Hi Sikon!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

File source problem with File:Subpixels.png
Thank you for uploading File:Subpixels.png. 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 page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Estadio Corregidora

Estadio Corregidora is a stadium in Querétaro City, Mexico. Named for Mexican War of Independence heroine Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez ("La Corregidora"), it has a capacity of 33,162 and is located on the outskirts of the city of Querétaro, 211 km north of Mexico City. The venue is used mostly for football games as the home of Querétaro FC. It is also used for concerts, hosting internationally known pop stars like Rod Stewart, Miguel Bosé, and Shakira, among others.

The stadium's design allows for the safe exit of all spectators, even if full, in less than seven minutes. It is one of the largest football venues in Mexico, after Estadio Azteca, Estadio Olímpico Universitario, Estadio Azul (all in Mexico City), Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla, Estadio BBVA Bancomer in greater Monterrey, and Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara.

Built in 1985 in a collaboration between Mexican and European partners, Estadio Corregidora acted as a venue for the FIFA World Cup hosted the following year by Mexico.

International Competition

 * 1986 FIFA World Cup
 * 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup

2022 Estadio Corregidora riots
On 5 March 2022, Liga MX club Querétaro FC hosted Atlas FC at La Corregidora for matchday 9 of the Clausura 2022 tournament. At the 63rd minute, fighting between fans of both teams broke out in the stadium's stands. The match was stopped immediately, and the teams' players returned to their respective dressing rooms. The sparse security elements in the stadium were unable to control the situation and opened the stadium's exits to allow spectators to escape the violence, which had spread to the pitch.

Due to the developing events at the stadium, the match was suspended by its head referee, with the score at Querétaro 0 - 1 Atlas. Liga MX president Mikel Arriola stated that "those responsible for the lack of security in the stadium will be punished in an exemplary manner." The league announced that the remainder of the match's second half would be played at a future date.

On 8 March 2022, Liga MX authorities announced a one year veto for the stadium.

Talk:Vapor pressures of the elements (data page)

This page is intended as an authoritative data collection with citation of sources, that may be cited as a central reference by other articles (such as for the chemical elements). Femto 14:11, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It would be very nice if this page had a vapor pressure chart of the elements at vaccum across the temperature scale. X-axis vapor pressure Y-axis temperature

Lines for each element identified by color and tagged with atomic symbol. I'd toss the data into an excel spreadsheet and make one, but I don't have the actual data. Not looking for precise points at which elements melt or boil, but rather the curves the elements follow. Much like the chart at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_pressure) only with all of the elements represented, rather than a few compounds. Note: I know that some of these elements do not accure naturally except in compounds, but I would still very much like to see the distribution of elements across a vapor pressure chart. 134.78.110.18 (talk) 18:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Are all the logarithms in the formulas in this page base 10, and should this be said explicitly? I have checked for Rubidium, and this seems indeed to be the case. --Brunik (talk) 08:42, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Amazingly hard to read. It's dozens of pages long, but the pressure values only appear once at the top. The use of italics next to slashes in the labels makes it even worse. Pstemari (talk) 02:56, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Original (?) version
Just put in a piece about a version recorded by Bucks Fizz. This was in Feb 84, not sure if this was before Turner recorded it, but they must have been close. Does anyone know when she recorded it?--Tuzapicabit (talk) 02:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Synthesizer solo
I am hoping that one of the authors of this article is actually close to the production of the hit song. I think the article deserves a section on the production of the song. I'm pretty sure, but don't know how to verify, that the synthesizer solo uses a sample of Tina's voice and this would be a notably early example of this technique. justcary (talk) 05:25, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Back when this song was popular I have a fuzzy memory of hearing on one of the popular countdown shows that the song was originally written with Mick Jagger in mind, or that Jagger turned it down or that after hearing the song Turner begged for the song and got it before it was offered to Jagger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.249.246.183 (talk) 13:35, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Ballast Key

Ballast Key is an island in the Florida Keys in Monroe County, Florida, United States. It is the southernmost point of land in the contiguous United States. It was the last privately owned land within the boundaries of the Key West National Wildlife Refuge.

Located in the Outlying Islands of the Florida Keys, it is one of the Mule Keys that are 9 mi west of Key West. The island's 26 acre were donated by Key West developer David W. Wolkowsky to The Nature Conservancy, who deeded ownership of the land to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service while arranging to manage the resource.

Ballast Key had a cameo appearance in the Bond movie Licence to Kill and it and Mr. Wolkowsky made the pages of the novel as well. "David, it's James, James Bond...I've broken into your island. I hope you don't mind", reads a passage in the book. It is also used in the final scene of the 2015 science fiction thriller Self/less. Over the years, Wolkowsky has hosted numerous artists, writers and celebrities on Ballast Key, including Jimmy Buffett, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Nancy Friday, Judy Blume, John Hersey, John Malcolm Brinnin, Richard Wilbur, Robert Stone, British prime minister Edward Heath, Prince Michael of Greece, Tony Richardson, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, The Bee Gees, Gloria Estefan, Natica Waterbury, Lucius Beebe, Lady Caroline Blackwood, and an occasional Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Mellon, and Duke.

Tennessee Williams often painted canvases while visiting David Wolkowsky on Ballast Key in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Ballast Key features a main house with four bedrooms and a master suite, and a fully equipped three-bedroom guesthouse overlooking a palm tree-lined sand beach. Water is supplied to the homes by desalination.

Tere Naam

Tere Naam is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language tragedy romantic drama film directed by Satish Kaushik and written by Jainendra Jain, the film stars Salman Khan and Bhumika Chawla in her Hindi cinema debut. It is a remake of the Tamil film Sethu (1999).

The film was based on a real-life incident of a friend of Bala's, who had fallen in love, lost his mind and ended up at a mental asylum. Tere Naam was released on 15 August 2003 and became a moderate box-office success, although its soundtrack album was a blockbuster. Khan was praised for his portrayal of Radhe Mohan and the role is widely considered to be his best performance till date.

Tere Naam was nominated for a total of 24 Awards, winning 7 of them, including 8 Filmfare Award nominations.

Plot
Radhe Mohan is a jobless rowdy, surrounded by a rough circle. He lives with his brother Ajay, his sister-in-law Gayatri, and their child. He is a violent man, but often performs good deeds, such as beating up sexual harassers.

Radhe falls in love with Nirjara Bhardwaj, a student at his former college and the daughter of a poor temple priest. Radhe helps her a few times, and she seems to like him. One day, Radhe proposes to her and jokingly remarks that he would beat her father up if he doesn't agree to their marriage. Nirjara is too shocked to say much and utters "Yes" when Radhe asks her if she was listening to him. Radhe interprets this as her acceptance of the proposal. Later, he and his friends intimidate Nirjara's fiancé Rameshwar. The next day, Radhe brings her a gift, but she tells him that she does not love him, and calls him a goon. A heartbroken Radhe subsequently tries to talk to her, but she refuses to engage in a conversation.

Radhe's friends suggest that he give up rowdyism and violence to impress Nirjara, but one day, he roughs up a goon who had beaten up one of his friends. As Radhe is about to punch him Nirjara arrives at the scene, and Radhe stops the violence, allowing the goon to escape. Subsequently, Nirjara's elder sister Mamata, who is in need of money, is nearly tricked into prostitution, when she visits the brothel to meet a man who promises her a loan. Radhe, who does not know that she is Nirjara's sister, visits the same brothel to find a man who had harassed a woman and had hit his friend for intervening. He saves Mamata from being arrested during a police raid. She tells him that her husband Aatmaram has kicked her of their house, and is demanding money to give her custody of their son. The next day, Radhe beats up Aatmaram, forcing him to take her back and to stop harassing her. Rameshwar sees this and tells Nirjara that Radhe is a good, selfless man, who truly loves her. Unaware of this conversation, Radhe abducts Nirjara (which is the opposite of what Rameshwar was saying about him) so that she would listen to him express his feelings for her. Nirjara initially feels intimidated, but ultimately falls in love with him.

Subsequently, the brothel owner and his goons attack Radhe to take revenge on him for trying to shut down their business. Radhe suffers brain damage in the attack and loses his mental balance. His family admits him to a religious institution for mental patients, as Nirjara and his friends pray for him. However, the doctors deem it difficult to cure him, so he is sent to an ashram with even worse conditions. He becomes thin, has his head shaved, wears torn clothes, and is chained to the walls along with other mentally ill patients. At one point, Radhe's mental state returns to normal, but the wardens do not understand. Radhe tries to escape, only to get hurt with more serious injuries in the process. Nirjara visits the institution and sees him in a pitiful condition while he is sleeping. When he wakes up, he realises that Nirjara visited him and tries to yell out her name, but she is unable to hear him.

Convinced that Radhe is not going to recover, Radhe's brother asks her to forget him and marry Rameshwar. On the day of Nirjara's wedding with Rameshwar, Radhe escapes from the institution, and arrives at her home, only to find that she has committed suicide. Radhe then allows himself to be taken back to the institution despite his family and friends trying to persuade him otherwise. The epilogue shows Radhe, now old and still in the institution, tying peacock feathers in Nirjara's memory.

Production
Anurag Kashyap was originally hired to direct the film but later removed from the film as he wanted Salman Khan to not shave his chest as the character of Radhe hailed from Uttar Pradesh where men are known to be very raw in terms of appearance. Satish Kaushik later took over. Ameesha Patel was originally considered to play the role of Nirjara, but scheduling conflicts prevented her from accepting. The role went to Bhumika Chawla, who made her Bollywood debut in the film.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack of the film contains 12 songs. The music was composed by Himesh Reshammiya and Sajid–Wajid with lyrics by Sameer and Jalees Sherwani. Upon its release, the soundtrack album became a massive super hit with its songs gaining huge popularity and becoming chartbusters, especially the title track, Tumse Milna, Odhni, Kyun Kisi ko, O Jaana. The soundtrack sold around 3 million copies becoming the highest selling Indian music album of the year in India.

Home video
The film was released on Blu-ray Disc on 13 December 2010 by Eros International.

Critical reception
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama awarded 3/5 stars and wrote, "Salman is exceptional in a role that fits him to the T. He breathes fire in sequences that demand uneasiness. But beneath the tough exterior lies a vulnerable person and this facet in particular comes to the fore in the latter reels. His emotional outbursts are splendid..., Bhoomika Chawla reminds you of Bhagyashree. Her simple, humble, traditionally indian character should go down very well with the viewers. Her performance is first-rate".

Planet Bollywood rated 8.0/10 to the film and wrote, "Salman Khan puts his heart and soul into his performance. He is equally at ease in romantic, emotional and even in Mahendra Verma's well conceived action scene. Bhoomika Chawla impresses in her first Hindi movie. The supporting cast of Sachin Khedekar, Sarfaraz Khan and Ravi Kishan is reasonably good. The music by Himesh Reshammiya goes well with the movie". Madhureeta Mukherjee of The Times of India said, "Salman has given the great performance in the film. He's given an intense, unconventional performance. Believe this is the best performance of Salman's career so far".

Box office
The film's total gross was ₹ 24.54 crore worldwide and was a moderate commercial success.

How now brown cow

"How now brown cow" is a phrase used in elocution teaching to demonstrate the diphthong. English orthography also uses the homophonic spelling "ou" to represent this diphthong in words like "noun" and "cloud". The use of the phrase "how now brown cow" in teaching elocution can be traced back to at least 1926.

The phrase how now itself is an archaic greeting or interrogative expression.

Währing

Währing is the 18th district of Vienna and lies in northwestern Vienna on the edge of the Vienna Woods. It was formed in 1892 from the unification of the older suburbs of Währing, Weinhaus, Gersthof, Pötzleinsdorf, Neustift am Walde and Salmannsdorf. In 1938 Neustift am Walde and Salmannsdorf were annexed to the neighbouring 19th District (Döbling).

Location

Währing covers 6.28 km2 in northwestern Vienna on the slopes of the Wienerwald between the Gürtel and the Höhenstraße. The district ascends from the steep banks of the (now channeled and enclosed) Währinger Stream on both sides. It is bordered to the north by the 19th District (Döbling), to the east by the 9th District (Alsergrund) and to the south and west by the 17th District (Hernals).

Geology
Währing lies between two ridges to the north and south. The hills of Schafsberg and Michaelerberg belong to the Wienerwald and form part of the boundary of the Vienna Basin. The hills in Währing consist of multi-layered sandstone alternating with clay, except for the high grounds of Pötzleinsdorf and Türkenschanze, which are of sands. In the lower parts of the district one finds deposits of the stone tegel; at higher elevations mostly hard sands, rocks and boulders. On the road Schafberggasse limestone was uncovered during construction of a canal: due to the former location of the Tethys Ocean, various remnants of marine life can be found beneath the district. Numerous sand quarries in the area provided building material for centuries.

Hills
Währing is enclosed between two elongated ridges extending from the northwest to the south and forming the valley of the Währinger Stream. The Schafberg range lies to the south, running from the largely forest-covered Schafberg (390 m) through Kleiner Schafberg (305 m), Mitterberg and Ganserlberg up to the Gürtel. To the north the district is bordered by spurs of the Michaelerberg (387 m), which lies on the western border with the 17th District and is almost completely forested. Its spurs extend through the Pötzleinsdorfer Höhe and the Windmühlhöhe to the southeast until they reach the plateau of Türkenschanze. The Ladenburghöhe, which border Pötzleinsdorfer Schlosspark to the south, lie between the two ridges and run parallel to and northeast of the Schafberg range.

Watercourses
In the 19th Century the district was still defined by the Währinger Stream, which rises in Pötzleinsdorfer Schlosspark. Originally this stream was in a deep valley along the route of the streets Pötzleinsdorfer Straße, Gersthofer Straße, Gentzgasse and Währinger Straße, and flowed into the River Als in the 9th District. By the end of the 19th Century it had been completely transformed into a drain. The last open-flowing part of the stream system is a stretch of the Dürwaring Stream, near Schafbergbad south of the Ladenburghöhe.

Neighbourhoods
The district was formed in 1892 from six previously independent outer suburbs, of which Salmannsdorf and Neustift am Walde were annexed to the neighbouring 19th District in 1938. From east to west the remaining suburbs were Währing (the original, eponymous outer suburb), Weinhaus, Gersthof and Pötzleinsdorf.

An alternative subdivision of the district is given by the census areas used for official statistics. For Währing these are Währinger Cottage, Gentzgasse, Kreuzgasse, Gersthof and Pötzleinsdorf (with Gersthof and Pötzleinsdorf on this list having different boundaries from their respective historical suburbs).

Land use
Währing comprises 53.6% built-up areas (compared to 33.2% Vienna-wide), of which 92.83% are residential. Green space occupies 30.2% of the district: woodland 14.4%, parkland 7.9%, meadows 3.0%, allotments 2.9%, sports fields 1.3% and agriculture (vineyards) 0.6%. Third come transport areas, which make up 16.2% of the total land area.

History
The most spectacular individual group of the Austrian resistance against National Socialism during the Second World War was that of the Währing priest Heinrich Maier. The center of the group was on the one hand the parish church of St. Leopold in Gersthof and the villa of Franz Josef Messner on Hasenauerstrasse. This very successful Catholic resistance group very successfully passed on plans and production facilities for V-1, V-2 rockets, Tiger tanks and aircraft (Messerschmitt Bf 109, Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, etc.) to the Allies. The resistance group, later discovered by the Gestapo, was in contact with Allen Dulles, the head of the US OSS in Switzerland. With the location sketches of the production facilities, the Allied bombers were able to carry out precise air raids and thus protect residential areas. The information was important to Operation Crossbow and Operation Hydra, both preliminary missions for Operation Overlord. In contrast to many other German resistance groups, the Maier group provided information about the mass murder of Jews very early on through their contacts with the Semperit factory near Auschwitz. There are memorial plaques both at the parish church and in Hasenauerstrasse.

Toponymy
The first mention of Währing is in documents from around 1170, as Warich. The name could plausibly come from Slavic (var for a warm spring) or Germanic (werich for a plot of land that a farmer can work for a day) origins. It could also come from Werigandus, the first abbot of Michaelbeuern Abbey. The name could also go back to Slavic land acquisitions: Döbling from toplica, warm stream, and Währing from varica, dark stream.

Population
At the 2008 census the population of Währing was 47,861, down from a high point of 87,658 in 1910. The average age is slightly above that of Vienna as a whole. In 2001, the proportion of people over 60 was about 25% in Währing compared to 22.2% in the city as a whole.

In 2005 the proportion of expatriate residents stood at 23.7%, up from 17.9% in 2003. The greatest number of expats came from Serbia & Montenegro, 6.4% of the total population. Another 3.1% were Nigerian citizens, 1.6% Turkish, 1.4% Polish and 1.1% Eritreann. According to a 2001 survey, 52.8% of the population declared themselves Catholic, with significant minorities belonging to the Eastern Orthodox Church, Islam, and Evangelic churches. The five Roman Catholic parishes in the district make up the 18th City Deanery.

Architecture
Interesting castles and villas include the Geymüllerschlössel, the Schloss Pötzleinsdorf with its extensive parks, and numerous villas in the Cottageviertel. The Baroque churches in the district are Ägydiuskirche (St. Giles' church) in Pötzleinsdorf, the Johannes Nepomuk Chapel in Gersthof and the Währinger Pfarrkirche, which was greatly expanded in 1934. Several churches were built in the historicism style: the Gersthofer Pfarrkirche, Lazaristenkirche, the Lutherkirche and the Wienhauser Pfarrkirche. The Pötzleinsdorfer Pfarrkircher is a notable church building from the 1960s.

Theatre
Currently there are three small stages in the district, the “Theater des Augenblicks”, the “Rampenlicht-Theater” and the “Theaterlabor”.

Museums
Währing’s most important museum is a branch of the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) in the Geymüllerschlössel in Pötzleinsdorf. There is also the Währing District Museum and the Österreichische Sprachinselmuseum.

Parks
Währing has several large parks. The best known are the Pötzleinsdorfer Schlosspark, Türkenschanzpark, and the Währingerpark (formerly a cemetery). The Schubert Park (see below) and the non-public Sternwartepark (“Observatory Park”) are also noteworthy.

Cemeteries
Währing has two cemeteries of note. The cemetery, Währing Cemetery; now known as Schubert Park; is the site of the original burial places of composers Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert. The graves of both composers were moved to the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna in 1888, but there remains a bust of Schubert in memory of his original resting place. This bust was made by sculptor Josef A. Dialer. The epitaph written by Franz Grillparzer reads in German: Die Tonkunst begrub hier einen reichen Besitz aber noch viel schönere Hoffnungen (The art of music buried here a rich possession and yet much finer hopes.)

The Jewish Cemetery, Währing, opened in 1784, was the main burial site for members of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien and formerly lay within the border of Währing. (Today, however, due to boundary changes, the cemetery, despite its name, is no longer part of the 18th Vienna district of Währing, but belongs to Döbling, the 19th district.) Besides the St. Marx Cemetery it is the last remaining cemetery of Vienna in the Biedermeier style. After its closure in the 1880s, it was partially destroyed during the time of the Third Reich, and is now only partly accessible due to its increasing decay. A long-running debate over the restoration of the cemetery has been taking place since 2006 between politicians of the federal and local levels as well as experts.

Astronomy
The asteroid 226 Weringia was discovered in 1882 from Währing and named in its honor.
