Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon

Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon is a 1995 Japanese animated science fantasy martial arts film and the thirteenth Dragon Ball Z feature film. It was originally released in Japan on July 15 at the Toei Anime Fair. It was later dubbed into English by Funimation in 2006 like most other Dragon Ball films. It was also released on VCD in Malaysia by Speedy Video with the subtitle Explosion of Dragon Punch. It was preceded by Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn and followed by Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, which released in 2013.

Set after the events of the final battle with Kid Buu, the film focuses on the efforts of an evil magician, Hoi, to release the deadly monster Hirudegarn onto the Earth, forcing Goku and his friends to enlist the aid of a warrior named Tapion, who may be the only one capable of defeating the monster. Series creator Akira Toriyama designed the Tapion and Minotia characters.

Plot
On an unknown world, a young humanoid is crushed to death by a gigantic monster which then vanishes as an unseen entity laughs and announces that it is headed for Earth.

On Earth, Gohan and Videl, acting as their superhero personas Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyaman 2, stop an elderly man from committing suicide. The man introduces himself as Hoi and presents them with an enchanted music box, claiming that a hero named Tapion is trapped inside and is their only chance to stop an approaching evil. With all other methods of potentially opening the box exhausted, the magical Dragon Balls are assembled and a wish to the eternal dragon Shenron is used to open it. Tapion is released but expresses anger at having been freed, explaining that inside of him is half of the ferocious monster called Hirudegarn that only the box was keeping at bay.

Tapion flees into isolation but is visited by Trunks who takes a liking to him. The lower half of Hirudegarn soon appears and begins attacking the city. Gohan and Videl attempt to fight it with Gohan learning that Hirudegarn is intangible except when it attacks. The fight ensues until Tapion plays a tune on his ocarina which weakens Hirudegarn and causes it to vanish. Hoi claims that Tapion is the true threat and that the ocarina must be destroyed, so he attempts to steal the instrument and in the ensuing scuffle, Trunks takes possession of it and chooses to side with Tapion. Hoi flees and Tapion accepts Trunks as a friend. Tapion relays his story to Bulma and explains that one-thousand years prior an evil race of alien sorcerers set out to destroy all life in the universe by awakening Hirudegarn. Their conquest eventually brought them to Tapion's planet where during the battle, a priest created an enchanted sword and two ocarinas capable of stopping Hirudegarn.

Tapion and his younger brother Minotia kept the monster at bay with the ocarinas while the priest cleaved it in half with the sword. In the aftermath, a war council decided to have Hirudegarn's two halves sealed inside of Tapion and Minotia and have them locked inside enchanted music boxes to be sent to opposite ends of the universe. Hoi, one of the surviving sorcerers, found and killed Minotia and now seeks Tapion's in order to complete Hirudegarn's revival. Bulma builds Tapion a specialized bedroom so that he can sleep without the monster escaping. However, this fails. The monster's lower half reappears and in desperation, Tapion begs for death in order to destroy Hirudegarn's upper half, but the beast manages to escape. Its revival complete, Hirudegarn lays waste to the city and is confronted by Goku, Gohan, and Goten who are no match for the monster.

Vegeta arrives to join the fight but is quickly defeated as well while Trunks and Goten fuse into Gotenks and bombard Hirudegarn with energy blasts. Hirudegarn then transforms into a more powerful form and defeats Gotenks effortlessly. Tapion attempts to seal Hirudegarn inside of himself again by playing the ocarina and asks Trunks to kill him with the sword once he does. Trunks hesitates and Hirudegarn escapes yet again, destroying the ocarina in the process. As Hoi gloats over his apparent victory, he is crushed to death by the monster. Goku transforms to Super Saiyan 3 and prepares for one final battle with Hirudegarn. Trunks intervenes and cuts the monster's tail off with the sword and Goku figures out that the monster is only vulnerable after attacking and he takes a beating while antagonizing Hirudegarn. An enraged Hirudegarn is weakened allowing Goku uses his Dragon Fist attack to finally kill it.

Tapion uses Bulma's time machine to return to his planet before it was destroyed. Before departing, Tapion presents Trunks with his sword as a farewell gift. In the ending credits, Future Trunks is shown slaying Frieza with a similar sword.

Talk:Elgin, Illinois

Size of Lords Park
According to http://www.elginpublicmuseum.org/lordspark.htm, Lord's Park is 409 acres.
 * The main page of the Elgin Public Museum website says 109, which seems about right. Wachholder0 20:38, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Racial Makeup
Why does the racial makeup add up to much more than 100? It isn't made clear on the page and I don't think anyone wants to go through that 60 page pdf to find out.
 * The US Census category for Hispanics includes both black and white people of Hispanic descent. Wachholder0 20:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Population
Can someone present a source showing Elgin's population exceeded 100,000 in 2005? The American Community Survey estimate for 2005 shows 93,412, which is likely incorrect. However, there shouldn't be unsubstantiated population information in the article (I'm referring to paragraph two).
 * See . The Census Bureau's 2003 estimate was 97,117. I don't think there is any information for this year or last year, but if the pop. grew 2.8% from 2003, it would be ~99,836 some time in 2006.

Brian Oldfield
Wasn't he from South Elgin (but an EHS grad)?

From what I understand he grew up in S Elgin but now lives in Elgin.

Says he was born in Elgin. Likely, because the hospitals were here! BenBurch 07:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Elgin promotional campaign and 2007 survey results
Does anyone have objections to these sections being removed?
 * No. Please remove it. WP is not the place for survey results and other raw data. Wachholder 01:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly.

Name
No evidence of a hymn named "Song of Elgin". There is a Scottish Presbyterian hymn named simply "Elgin", which can be found on p.120 of The Congregational hymn and tune book, General Association of Connecticut, 1856.

Plainstones
My suggestion. Thx

Add text to describe and highlight the Plainstones. Add hyperlink.

A more spacious market area for traders was created when the Plainstones were laid out in 1787. However, it wasn’t until 1851 that, with the building of the New Market, traders had the benefit of a covered market.

The reference I am talking about is #7. The sentence sounded clumsy to me. I checked a grammar checker and it says the is written in passive voice, meaning it is clumsy.

Battle of Bi

The Battle of Bi was fought during the Spring and Autumn period in 597 BC, between the major states of Chǔ and Jìn, in what is now modern day China. Occurring three and a half decades after the Battle of Chengpu, where Jin decisively defeated Chu, the battle was a major victory for Chu, cementing the position of its ruler King Zhuang as a hegemon among the states of the Zhou Dynasty.

Background
The states of Jin and Chu were both among the most powerful of their time, but while Jin was considered a legitimate Zhou state in terms of culture and lineage, the state of Chu, whose territory encompassed many non-Chinese cultures in the middle Yangtze River, was considered a half-civilised state at best.

The Jin–Chu rivalry had last come to a head with the decisive defeat of Chu at the Battle of Chengpu, where Duke Wen of Jin became hegemon among the states; after the death of Duke Wen, Chu attempted to reassert its position with northern campaigns, but the presence of Zhao Dun as premier of Jin rendered them unwilling to risk direct conflict.

This situation would change dramatically with the death of Zhao Dun in 601 BC, as well as the death of Duke Cheng of Jin the following year, followed by that of Zhao's successor Xi Que (郤缺) in 598 BC. King Zhuang made use of the resulting instability among the Jin leadership, and personally led a campaign northward.

Campaign
King Zhuang targeted the state of Zheng, which was an ally of Jin, and successfully forced Zheng to switch allegiance to Chu. Meanwhile, Xun Linfu, the new commander of the Jin armies, led his forces to relieve Zheng, only to learn of the surrender of Zheng en route, while camped along the northern bank of the Yellow River. This created a rift among the Jin commanders, about whether to meet the Chu forces in battle. At the same time, Chu's armies retreated by 30 li and decamped, awaiting the Jin offensive.

Battle
Xun Linfu, after hearing of Zheng's switch of allegiance, was in favour of retreating; however, his adjutant Xian Hu, maintaining that it would be cowardly to avoid battle as the hegemonic state, led his own troops across the Yellow River without instructions. This forced the rest of the army to follow suit.

Meanwhile, on the Chu side, King Zhuang was intimidated by the presence of the Jin army; even his commander Sunshu Ao was initially in favour of retreat. Wu Can, a Chu commander, advised against this, citing the inexperience of Xun Linfu as the supreme commander, the rashness of Xian Hu as adjutant, and the conflict between the Jin commanders. King Zhuang thus resolved to face down the Jin army, even though negotiations for a truce continued between the two armies.

The battle began only when two generals from the Jin army, dissatisfied at Xun Linfu's hesitation, decided to provoke the Chu forces. King Zhuang personally pursued the generals; Xun Linfu sent a force to escort the two generals back to Jin lines, but the rolling dust from this relief force was mistaken as a general advance by the Jin army. Fearing that the king could be cut off by the army, Sunshu Ao immediately ordered a general advance from the Chu army; this unexpected attack overwhelmed Jin forces, which then collapsed and were routed.

King Zhuang, upon winning the battle, led his generals to water their horses from the Yellow River; a request to pursue and destroy the remnant forces was rebuffed on the grounds that, with the humiliation of Chengpu avenged, there was no need for more slaughter.

Ibn Habal

Muhadhdhib al-Dīn Abūʼl-Hasan ʻAlī ibn Ahmad Ibn Habal (مهذب الدين أبي الحس علي بن أحمد ابن هبل) known as Ibn Habal (ابن هَبَل) (c. 1122 - 1213) was an Arab physician and scientist born in Baghdad. He was known primarily for his medical compendium titled Kitab al-Mukhtarat fi al-tibb (كتاب المختارات في الطب), "The Book of Selections in Medicine." It was written in 1165 in Mosul, north of Baghdad, where Ibn Hubal spent most of his life.

The chapters on kidney and bladder stones were edited and translated into French by P. de Koning in his Traité sur le calcul dans les reins et dans la vessie (1896). Other chapters have been translated by Dorothee Thies in Die Lehren der arabischen Mediziner Tabari und Ibn Hubal über Herz, Lunge, Gallenblase und Milz (1968).

Relation to Bonaparte dynasty?
Was he any relation to the Bonaparte dynasty? Funnyhat 20:35, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Though I don't know for sure, I very, very much doubt it. Especially given his date of birth, I would much more expect him to have been named after Napoleon I than to be related to him.  Binabik80 18:58, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * He was not born even close to the date of Bonaparte. He was also born nowhere near France. 98.197.88.142 (talk) 00:51, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * He wouldn't have to be born "near France." People in Georgia have heard of Napoleon. Of more interest is the fact that Napoleon Bonaparte didn't take power until 1799 -- a year after Lamar was born. Before that, he was a successful general but not a ruler. Also, Lamar's name is spelled in the original Italian form, which is odd. What I've always wondered about, ever since 7th Grade Texas History, is: Where does the "Mirabeau" come from? --Michael K. Smith (talk) 02:03, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Mirabeau is a famous french revolutionary.  BIRDIE   ✉ 13:39, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

 sure......  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.182.76.130 (talk) 15:12, 3 May 2010 (UTC) It would be interesting to see what his mom's surname be, cuz 'nuff niggaz gots middle names what be they moms surnames. It's certainly not inconceivable that his moms be corsican or some shit. His family was of course wealthy, and if they read newspapers and supported the French Revolutizzion, it would explain why the named him Lamar. Plus, peep dis: da Battle of the Pyramids took place about a month before he was born. This was well reported, and would given General Nappy Bonaparte his 15 minutes o' fame. Now, this was back in the days before the inter-webs, and some journalist may well have misspelled his name.

I most definitely agree with the previous unsigned comment, despite the on-purpose slang and profanities, except that Buonaparte was Napoleon Bonaparte's real surname, before he made it sound more French for political purposes (I can tell, being a French citizen and therefore having followed compulsory French history classes). I do not see any reason to suspect any family relation to that Napoleon Bonaparte JanvonBismarck (talk) 20:11, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

What about discussing that little dispute with Sam Houston
It's all well and good to talk about Lamar's being the father of education and what not, but it's kind of incomplete without including the Indian Clearance Policy issue don't you think? Genocide in any era is not very appealing.--CharlesHenryLeaFan (talk) 03:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

The late Molly Ivins, in her Nothin' But Good Times Ahead, page 217, wrote "One reason we all admire Sam is because he waited until quite late in his life to reform, and even then, you could never be sure it had taken all the way. His wife, Margaret, got him started on the Baptist road to virtue, and when at last he lay dying, she suggested he call in all his old enemies one by one for forgiveness and Christian fellowship. This program went along swimmingly until Margaret said, 'Don't you think it's time to call in Lamar?' Houston hated Mirabeau B. Lamar, whom he persisted in calling 'Miraboo,' because when Lamar was an Indian agent, he acted treacherously to take advantage of the Indians, something Houston could never forgive. Houston told his wife, 'When I am dead, you can call in Lamar, turn me over, and tell him to kiss my cold ass.'" JHobson3 (talk) 14:56, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Blazing Saddles?
If director Mel Brooks read up on his early Texas history, Mirabeau Lamar may have been his inspiration for the archvillain of Blazing Saddles, Hedley Lamarr, who was the movie's corrupt Attorney General of Texas. The names of this first elected Governor of the Republic of Texas and actress Hedy Lamarr came together in Brooks' mind, in that case.---Heff01 (talk) 06:39, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Murder of Ken Tillery

Big Problems
The most neutral source provided on the main page does not support much of this story:

"A second arrest has been made in the murder of a Sabine County man who was run over with a car near Pineland on January 19. Thirty-two year old Darrell Eugene Gilbert of Kirbyville is being held *without* bond in the Sabine County jail. He was originally arrested for parole violation. While in jail, Gilbert was also charged with and arraigned for the murder of 44-year-old Ken "Bimbo" Tillery. Officials believe Tillery was run over because of a dispute over gas money'''.

Thirty-four year old Blake Little of Jasper is also charged with murder for allegedly running over Tillery. Little remains in the Sabine County jail. His bond has been set at $100,000.

Although the victim in this case is white, and the suspects are black, Sabine County Sheriff Tom Maddox says the crime does not appear to be racially motivated. "The only thing that we do have is that there were four people in there, with the occupants being black and the deceased white. But again, the altercation came up because of alcohol, drugs, and the non-payment of gas."

One other man and a woman were with Little and Gilbert at the time Tillery was run over. An additional murder warrant has been issued for that man."

http://www.ktre.com/Global/story.asp?S=630832 --

The wiki article appears to be contorted to more strongly parallel the James Byrd murder by calling it a "dragging death" when the only objective link provided does not support that assertion. Also the offering of a ride does not appear in the most objective link.

I would highly recommend scrubbing any information taken from Frontpagemagazine.com or Larry Elder as both of those sources are likely tainted by bias.

There should be more accurate information available on this from credible media outlets.

open_mind 19:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

NPOV
See discussion at Talk:Dragging_death --Xcali 20:36, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I've added the pov tag here & removed it from Dragging death, as the latter's only concern is the names in the list, not the tone of the content. Here, tone is the issue. Colonel Tom 04:42, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * My edit referred to above didn't save, apparently; I've instead cleaned up the article to NPOV standard. Colonel Tom 22:52, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

This article is still of a very poor quality. I have tried to improve it by pointing out the most important difference (one was a hate crime, the other wasn't) however it still needs some improvements, specifically:
 * Discussion of the circumstances of the death (I believe it was due to an argument)
 * Discussion of the apparently lack of racial motivation
 * Check the existing details, did they really offer him a ride and he refused following which they kidnapped him? This seems unlikely based on the details I have seen

Also, is there an article on the more mainstream media discussing the discrepncy in coverage? The current link is to frontpagemag which appears to be some nutjob right-wing paper.

It would be good if someone could also find a link which points out the differences between the cases. There are numerous differences which we probably can't point out otherwise. For example, the Byrd was a case where someone was tied to the vehicle and was then dragged to his death whereas in this case, it was simply a case of an attempted vehicular homocide which failed so they just continued to drive dragging the victim to his death.

POV? Ya sure, you betcha.
Sorry, I'm from Minnesota :)

This article seems to be subtly POV in its description of the crime. Also, it has basically no sources. --Natalie 03:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Nitpick?
Race is not referred to in a consistent manner in the article. The term "white" is used for Tillery while the term "African-American" is used for his killers. Pick a standard and use it, i.e., white for Tillery, black for his killers, or Anglo-American for Tillery, African-American for his killers.

I favor white and black as these are words with fewer syllables. --68.90.235.101 (talk) 05:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Proposed move
Propose this article be moved from the current title to Murder of Ken Tillery. Subject's primary notability is the incident in which he died. Boneyard90 (talk) 20:23, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Robert Leamy Meade

Robert Leamy Meade (December 25, 1842 – February 11, 1910) was an officer in the United States Marine Corps during the American Civil War, Spanish–American War and Boxer Rebellion. He was the nephew of Major General George G. Meade.

Early life and career
Meade was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Richard Worsam Meade II, an officer in the United States Navy. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps on June 14, 1862, and commanded a battalion of marines during the suppression of the New York City draft riots in July 1863. He took part in the daring boat attack against Fort Sumter on September 8, 1863, and was later brevetted for gallant and meritorious service. During the raid, he was captured by Confederate soldiers defending the fort, and he spent the remainder of the war as a prisoner of the Confederacy.

Between the Civil War and the Spanish–American War, Meade served in a variety of billets at shore and aboard ship. In the early 1870s, he commanded the Marine detachment aboard the first U.S. warship to visit Cochin-China (now Vietnam) with the mission of deterring pirates from attacking American shipping in the area. He also served as Commanding Officer of the Marine Barracks at the New York Navy Yard and the Boston Navy Yard. While at the Boston Navy Yard, Lieutenant Colonel Meade made an enemy of Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, by refusing to award a construction contract to a firm recommended by Roosevelt.

Later career
During the Spanish–American War he served as fleet Marine officer on the cruiser USS New York and participated in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba. Victor Maria Concas y Palau, captain of the cruiser SPANISH CRUISER Infanta Maria Teresa at the battle of Santiago, described the poor attitude of Meade to the Spanish prisoners at Portsmouth. He claimed that Meade's attitude was responsible of the death of several sailors, as he did not allow them to have the adequate medical help, and that he also had a lack of respect for Spanish officers.

Immediately after the Spanish–American War, Meade was sent to the Philippines as part of a Marine detachment intended to counter the rising tensions between Filipino Muslim rebels and the government. Shortly after arriving in the Philippines, he was promoted to colonel on March 3, 1899, and was sent to China during the Boxer Rebellion. He was the senior American officer during the events leading up to the Battle of Tientsin, but he was medically evacuated before the actual battle occurred. For distinguished conduct and public service, he was appointed brigadier general, by brevet, on July 13, 1900.

When Major General Charles Heywood retired as Commandant of the Marine Corps in 1903, Brigadier General Meade was the longest serving Marine officer then on active duty, and he believed he was next in line to be General Heywood's replacement. President Theodore Roosevelt, undoubtedly remembering the insubordination of Major Meade in the affair involving a construction contract at the Boston Navy Yard, instead appointed Colonel George F. Elliott to be the new Commandant. Robert Leamy Meade retired from the Marine Corps on June 29, 1906 after 43 years of service and having taken part in every major military action that took place from the Civil War through the Boxer Rebellion.

He was a member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States and the Military Order of Foreign Wars.

General Meade died at Lexington, Massachusetts, on February 11, 1910. He is buried in Huntington Rural Cemetery in Huntington, New York.

Hitler birthplace memorial stone

The Hitler birthplace memorial stone, a memorial to victims of the Nazis, is placed in front of Salzburger Vorstadt 15, Braunau am Inn, Upper Austria, the building where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889.

Birth house of Hitler
At the time of Hitler's birth, the building was a modest guest house, where Hitler's parents rented rooms in connection with his father's job as a minor customs official at the nearby Austrian–German border. The Hitlers lived in the building only until Adolf was three years old, when his father was transferred to Passau.

After World War II, the building was rented by the Austrian Republic in 1952 and obtained heritage protection as part of the historic city centre. Until 1965, it was the home of the public library and later a bank. From 1970 to 1976, several classes from the technical high school were held in the house, until the school was rebuilt. The house then for many years accommodated a branch of the charity "Lebenshilfe", and operated as a day centre and workshops for people with learning difficulties. After the charity left the building in 2011, it remained empty. As of 2016, the Austrian government intends to expropriate the owner and to demolish the building. A special expropriation law was adopted.

Suggestions regarding making Hitler's birthplace a place of remembrance for the victims of Nazism had already been made in the early years after the war. For a long time, the council discussed putting up a memorial tablet on the house, and in 1983 the decision was made by the then mayor Hermann Fuchs, with intervention from Culture Advisor Wolfgang Simböck. However, the memorial tablet was not attached, because the owner (who had no connection to Hitler) felt that it would be an intrusion on her rights of ownership. She successfully opposed it in court because of her fear of unwelcome attention or attacks from anti- or Neonazis.

Installation of the stone
In 1989, the new mayor, Gerhard Skiba, took the initiative. In April 1989, (two weeks before the centenary of Hitler's birth) a memorial was placed directly in front of the house on public ground. The stone for the memorial came from a quarry on the grounds of the former Mauthausen Concentration Camp, near Linz, Austria. The inscription on the memorial reads:  FÜR FRIEDEN, FREIHEIT UND DEMOKRATIE NIE WIEDER FASCHISMUS MILLIONEN TOTE MAHNEN For Peace, Freedom and Democracy. Never Again Fascism. Millions of Dead are a Warning.

The official name of the memorial is the "Memorial Stone Against War and Fascism". It appears as the Mahnstein ("Remembrance Stone") on street maps.

Lisa Moore (musician)

Lisa Moore (born 1960) is an Australian pianist based in New York City.

Moore was born in Canberra, Australia, one of three children to an art historian and a prominent economist. Her early life included overseas travel, and by the age of 16 she had visited more than a dozen countries and lived in Sydney and London. Her development as an artist can be traced to her formative years in Canberra during the 1970s. A succession of "strange and interesting people" through her childhood included the Australian painter Charles Blackman. Moore was raised in both Australia and London (1971–73). She studied piano at the Sydney Conservatorium from 1976 until 1980 before moving to the US to complete her musical training. With an Alliance Française grant, Moore spent a year (1982–83) in Paris before moving back to the US and settling in New York City in 1985.

Moore is a graduate of the University of Illinois (BMus), Eastman School of Music (MMus), and SUNY Stony Brook (DMA). Her past piano teachers include Gilbert Kalish, David Burge, Yvonne Loriod, Benjamin Kaplan, Albert Landa, Sonya Hanke, Alan Jenkins, Wilma McKeown, and Larry Sitsky.

Moore's solo discs have been published on Cantaloupe Music, Philip Glass's Orange Mountain Music, Irreverence Group Music, Bandcamp, and Tall Poppies Records, with music ranging from Leoš Janáček to Philip Glass. Her 2016 disc The Stone People (Cantaloupe) – featuring the music of John Luther Adams, Martin Bresnick, Missy Mazzoli, Kate Moore, Frederic Rzewski, and Julia Wolfe – made both The New York Times Top Classical Albums 2016 and the 2017 Naxos Critics' Choice listings. Moore has recorded over thirty collaborative discs (Sony Classical Records, Nonesuch Records, Deutsche Grammophon, BMG, New World Records, ABC Classics, Albany Records, New Albion, Starkland, Harmonia Mundi). Her Steve Reich Music for Eighteen Musicians (Harmonia Mundi) with Ensemble Signal was listed on The New York Times Top Classical Albums 2015.

Moore is a Steinway Artist.

Mass in F Minor

Mass in F Minor is the third studio album by American rock band The Electric Prunes, released in 1968. It consists of a musical setting of the mass sung in Latin and Greek and arranged in the psychedelic style of the band, and was written and arranged by David Axelrod.

Background and recording
Following the limited commercial success of the Electric Prunes' previous album, Underground, the band's manager Lenny Poncher and their producer Dave Hassinger, whose company owned the rights to the band name, agreed with Reprise Records that their third album would be written and arranged by David Axelrod, a classically trained musician. The album was planned to combine religious and classical elements with psychedelic rock, in a religious-based rock-opera concept album. Axelrod was given carte blanche by Hassinger to do what he wanted with the Electric Prunes.

When the existing band – singer James Lowe, guitarists Ken Williams and Mike Gannon, bassist Mark Tulin, and drummer Michael "Quint" Weakley – came to record the album, it became apparent that the complex arrangements largely outstripped the band's ability to perform them to the standards expected by Axelrod, or within the time set aside for recording. Although Lowe, Tulin (the only band member who could read music) and Weakley appeared on all the tracks, and Williams and Gannon also appeared on the first three tracks ("Kyrie Eleison", "Gloria" and "Credo"), the album was finished by studio musicians working with engineer Richie Podolor on guitar, and a Canadian group, the Collectors. The choral-style vocals were by Lowe, double-tracked. Hassinger was credited with producing the album.

Release and performance
Mass in F Minor was released in January 1968 and reached number 135 on the Billboard 200. Photos of the band appeared on the back of the record sleeve, though with the band's previous guitarist James 'Weasel' Spagnola shown, rather than Gannon. The Electric Prunes performed the album's songs in concert twice. At the recently finished Robert Frost Auditorium in Culver City, after a well received set featuring songs from their first album, the band announced that the remainder of the performance would be songs from their just released album, Mass in F Minor. The audience, nearly all from adjacent Culver City High and Junior High schools, were not expecting church music. Not long into the first number, boos and taunts were overpowering the band's music, followed by much of the young audience heading for the exits. The Electric Prunes attempted a second number, but called it quits rather than play to an almost empty venue.

At the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, which Tulin described: "From the outset the performance was a disaster. We missed the intro on the first song and it never got any better. Amp speakers blew, charts fell off music stands and everyone was, in general, in a complete state of confusion. Ended up each song turned into one long jam. I think we were, at times, all in the same key. I made my way over to the four celli and four French horns and told them to 'jam in E.' Somehow we would hit a break and James would manage a vocal. Mercifully, this all ended and as we were leaving a few 'fans' said, 'We didn't know you guys were into avant-garde jazz.'"

An eerie version of the opening track, "Kyrie Eleison", became somewhat of an underground favorite when it appeared in the soundtrack for the counterculture film, Easy Rider.

Some later reissues of Mass in F Minor incorrectly credited a later incarnation of the band with recording the album. The Electric Prunes were credited with a further album arranged by David Axelrod, Release of an Oath, arranged in a similar style to Mass in F Minor, but by that time the original band had dissolved.

Danish Blue Cheese

Danablu, often marketed under the trademark Danish Blue Cheese within North America, is a strong, blue-veined cheese. This semi-soft creamery cheese is typically drum- or block-shaped and has a yellowish, slightly moist, edible rind. Made from full fat cow's milk and homogenized cream, it has a fat content of 25–30% (50–60% in dry matter) and is aged for eight to twelve weeks.

Before ageing, copper wires or rods are used to pierce the formed curds to distribute the mould (Penicillium roqueforti) evenly through the cheese. The holes can still be seen when the finished wheel is cut open.

Danablu was developed early in the 20th century by a Danish cheese maker named Marius Boel with the intention of emulating a Roquefort-style cheese. Danablu has a milder flavor characterised by a sharp, salty taste, and is often served crumbled on salads or as a dessert cheese with fruit. In Denmark, it is often served on bread or savory biscuits.

Danablu, Danbo and Esrom are the only three Danish cheeses that are PGI-marked by the EU, meaning that they may be produced only in Denmark from Danish milk and at approved dairies that produce the cheeses according to the specifications laid down.

Talk:Conjunctive normal form

Not a method
Bah. Conjunctive normal form is not a method. There is a method to construct a conjunctive normal form of a logical function, but the CNF, the result of this method is not the method. A method is not the same as the result of this. Be exact, please :-)) (a mathematician). Gubbubu 20:44, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

4-SAT
If 4-SAT is defined like 3-SAT (all clauses have at most 4 literals), the problem is NP-complete, like any other k-SAT problem with k>2. The recent edit stating that 4-SAT is linear is incorrect unless a different definition of 4-SAT is considered. Source? - Liberatore(T) 15:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Inquiry
Regarding the following line: "Transformations of formulae in CNF form preserving satisfiability (rather than equivalence) and introducing new variables exist. These transformations are interesting because they are guaranteed not to produce an exponential blow-up." I am curious as to the source of this statement. I am particularly interested in reading what these transformations are specifically. --Stux 06:48, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

 * See for example
 * Daniel Sheridan. The Optimality of a Fast CNF Conversion and its Use with SAT.SAT 2004
 * These transformations are based on creating new variables that represent the truth value of a subformula (should the fact that new variables are necessary be mentioned in the article?). For example, $$(a \wedge b) \vee c$$ can be transformed into $$(new \vee c) \wedge (\neg new \vee a) \wedge (\neg new \vee b)$$, where $$new$$ is a new variable. - Liberatore(T) 13:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

incomplete definition?
I have been studying boolean algebra in my class "Fundamentals of Logic Design", and we are taught that CNF is more than just product of sums. We are taught that every sum (clause) must contain every literal. *This* is what makes the form useful for comparing functions and performing automatic analysis. Please comment, i'm interested to know how this is formally defined and used. Fresheneesz 21:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * A formula in CNF is a conjunction of clauses. There is in general no obligation for a clause to contain all variables, which is a special case. Can you provide a source for the statement that every clause must contain all variables? Clearly, in some cases this is necessary, but is not part of the definition of CNF. - Liberatore(T) 21:21, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * In circuit design it seems common to use a different definition than the one used in logic: Canonical_form_(Boolean_algebra). I'm no expert though. However, somebody should mention this fact on this page. --Blaisorblade (talk) 20:23, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Single clauses.
I'm not quite sure, but in my Logic class I've been told that $$A \wedge B$$ is actually in DNF, and not CNF, because it is a single literal (i.e. equivalent to $$(A \wedge B) \vee (True \wedge True)$$). Can someone provide a counterexample if this is false or change the page if not? Poromenos (talk) 11:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

 * $$A \wedge B$$ is, in the definitions I am used to, both in CNF and DNF. It is in CNF because it is the conjunction of two disjunctions of literals (the disjunctions being 'A' and 'B'). It is in DNF because it is the disjunction of a conjunction of literals (there is only one disjunct, and it is $$A \land B$$).
 * An illuminating question to ask in your logic class would be - if $$A \land B$$ is not in CNF, then what is its conjunctive normal form? — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I have also reverted the change from -(A v B) to -(A & B); IMO, since A v B is more obvious to be in CNF than A&B (even if the second still is), then it's clear that the negation (rather than the binary connective) is the problem there. I have also added an explanation for A&B to be in CNF since this might not be obvious at first sight. Tizio 12:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Distribute ANDs over ORs?
Shouldn't it be "distribute ORs over ANDs"? Where i am interpreting "distribute ANDs over ORs" to mean the act of converting things like "A AND (B OR C)" into things like "(A AND B) OR (A AND C)". Bayle Shanks (talk) 10:23, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Converting from first-order logic - missing 2nd step
It appears that a step is missing. While converting, the second step should be to move ¬ inward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loki411 (talk • contribs) 07:31, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Merge
I don't believe this should be merged. Olleicua (talk) 16:48, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

I think it can be merged, over various internet sources both are treated same.. AshutoshJuve (talk) 17:01, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Conjunctive normal form and clausal normal form are indeed the same thing. See, for example, Melvin Fitting, First order logic and automated theorem proving, second edition, page 28. Thus I vote to merge 82.24.239.152 (talk) 19:56, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Typo?
Regarding the word "redices" -- is that a word? --LilHelpa (talk) 13:47, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Method remains unclear
The method of converting a formula into a CNF is not introduced. Wxhtxdy (talk) 16:05, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

converting into CNF
Shouldn't the complexity of converting a formula into CNF, preserving validity, be coNP-hard? Because the validity problem for a DNF is coNP-hard and it can be decided by converting the DNF into CNF (the validity of a CNF can be decided in linear time)? 94.103.211.82 (talk) 18:07, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Information on Revprez
Our good friend (not really) has a bit of a history with Stardestroyer.net. He has held rather contraversial opinions and refused to back them up with evidence and made a general nuicance of himself. After violating forum policy and making himself rather detested by the bulk of the board, Mike Wong eventualy banned him (permanently) from the forums. Shortly after that Revprez then showed up at SB.com where he made a further nuicance of himself for a month or longer. Eventualy he also angered the Spacebattles forum administrators and earned himself a permanent ban. Problem for SB.com was that revprez wouldn't stop with that. Last time I checked revprez had snuck more then 8 accounts past the ban and was subsiquently found and banned again. Several months ago revprez also reappeared on SD.net using a new name and IP adress, but was again found and his account terminated.

Revprez has a known history of trolling forums and intentionaly violating policy bans. Right now he is doing nothing more then carrying out a vendetta against SD.net. If you Star Trek vs Star Wars page history you will find that Revprez has also been vandalizing that page. He is currently carrying out a vendetta against both SB.com and SD.net, the forums that rejected him. None of what he is doing fits Wikipolicy.

Founded in 1975, it is named after King Faisal bin Abdulalziz, the ruler of Saudi Arabia from 1964 until 1975. KFU was initially established with four colleges: two in Dammam and the other two in Al-Ahsa. Later, the colleges in Dammam have been segregated to become the Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University.

History
The university was founded in 1975 by the Royal Decree No. H / 67 1395 e in the eastern region of the country. In its first year, it leased buildings, and in subsequent years it used some prefabricated buildings for the colleges.

The first four scientific colleges were: The College of Agricultural and Food Sciences and the College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry at the main campus in Al Ahsa; and the College of Architecture and Planning and the College of Medicine and Medical Sciences in Dammam. In later years, with the intent to meet the future needs of the Kingdom, with the issuance of Royal decree No. 7 / b / 11155, and with the consent of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Chairman of the Board of Higher Education, the College of Education was founded in 1981, and the Faculty of Administrative Sciences and Planning in 1984. The teaching hospital, the King Fahd University Hospital, is in Khobar, although a newer hospital is currently under construction near the main campus of the university.

In 1996, Royal decree No. 7 / b / 11155, with the consent of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Chairman of the Board of Higher Education, sought separate dental and technical laboratories from the college of medicine and medical science in Dammam. The Faculty of Dentistry and the Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences was founded in Klitin.

Goals
One of the main goals of the university was in the area of scientific research to be one of the basic requirements so as to address the problems of society. Since its inception, and through years of development, the university has sought to revitalize and strengthen scientific research in various fields and disciplines through intensive activity carried out by colleges and research centers, as well as through coordination with other centers from outside the university, the university has completed more than forty national research projects. It has also published more than 2,000 scientific articles in domestic and international scientific journals.

The university also developed and modernised its curriculum, study plans and educational programmes in all colleges to be consistent with the requirements of the Saudi society, as well as to cope with the latest scientific and technical developments.

Achievements
The University has also given special attention to conferences and symposia in scientific and cultural enrichment of knowledge and community service. It has organised more than 66 local and global conferences symposia. Additionally its faculty members have been represented at more than 300 scientific conference and a symposium at home and abroad.

This meant such beneficiaries as computer applications and expanded uses at the administrative and academic level to contribute to automated and streamlined administrative and academic management decisions, including the following regulations: automated information systems at the university level, students' record system, system stores procurement, financial system, a patient care system, and architectural designs.

In terms of ranking, KFU has been ranked #22 in QS Ranking for Arab Region 2016.

Talk:Chamillionaire

save mixtape messiah 4 article from deletion
this article of mixtape messaih 4 has been deleted by someone clearly not qualified to evaluate anything involving hip-hop and the inclusion of mixtape messiah 4 needs support.Xx1994xx (talk)

Publicist
This is Chamillionaire's publicist. Please remove: Chamillionaire will begin promoting his new custom "Color Changing Kicks" shoe line. He is not launching a shoe line. Completely false. Also, please remove any reference to Bill Collecta being the official second single. Not true. Thanks.

 * Publicist: If your still here Clothing Line: When and Where? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.99.2.128 (talk) 03:57, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Headline text
There's no mention of the mixtapes Tippin Down 2005 nor Big Business with Stat Quo here.. could someone add em?56 16 Jun 2006 (UTC)

 * This was unbelievably easy to Wikify as an original article. Is there any more information about Universal Records and Swishahouse etc. for input?--McDogm 20:45, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Chamillionaire is Muslim
He is a Muslim so I think it should be on his page if you read his bio it says that "Growing up as a child of four in a strict household run by a Christian mother and a Muslim father, he was not allowed to curse". And he also says in interviews that he don't drink or smoke and Muslims aren't allowed to drink or smoke. He also never wears a cross so that shows you guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.41.184.116 (talk) 20:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

So...everyone who doesnt curse, smoke, and drink is a muslim? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.87.55.195 (talk) 20:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Chamillionaire's Birthplace
Just curious... Where was Chamillionaire born? this seems like a disputed issue.. Was he born in Houston, TX or another part of Texas or was he born in Washington DC? Some people claim he was born in Wisconsin... Hmmmm...

Edit by me xP: He was born in Washington!!! Really. In a rare verse he says: "Washington DC gave me birth, but Houston gave me milk from the breast".

Association with Motown Records
According to the Motown Records article on Wikipedia, Chamillionaire was signed with them too. Understandably, Universal owns Motown, but it would be nice to get some firmer information to the labels he has been signed with. Guroadrunner 04:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Article problems
None of the trivia is cited, and the article sounds very biased. Is the statement "He is known for his ability to change the tempo and rhyme scheme of his rapping within a single song, and for the rapid, clear, and distinct quality of his delivery and voice" really true? clear voice? listen to "Ridin" and try to identify the lyrics... I would like to see some reference to sources that give this artist that much praise (or any references at all, for that matter, considering the article uses direct quotes that are not attributed to anyone)

I have no problem identifying his lyrics Vickfan 22:43, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Major Releases
Is there a reason why The Sound of Revenge is broken up into a Major Releases sub-heading? It seems to break up the flow of the Discography. I think that the note of Platinum is enough to denote its popular appeal. I would not be opposed to dividing it up into Mixtapes and Albums, but then would Screwed and Chopped be considered an album? -- Heaven's Wrath (Talk) 02:44, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Religion
I just want to inform people who keep changing the article that he is a Muslim, he is not a Muslim he is a Christian. He even says it when he was doing an interview with AllHipHop.com you check it out here Bazel 04:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

http://www.allhiphop.com/features/index.asp?ID=1179

Fixed
The albums chronology, a lot of infoboxes and information where messed up. All fixed now.

Also, was "Man On Fire" released on 2006 or 2005? I decided to put it on 2006 because it had a date (June 10). Change it if it's not correct.

Michaelas10 12:25, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I fixed it again. We can't go on like this forever, please verify the discography and possibly merge the album chronology and mixtape chronology. Michaelas10 09:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Another mixtape (or album) not mentioned
There is no mention of the mixtape/album "Houston, We have a problem" I have never heard it myself, but allmusic.com has a review for it with samples from the album.

Maybe could mention that "Controversy Sells" also sold a lot, in the section with "Get ya mind correct" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.247.164.180 (talk) 19:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Plagiarism
90% of the "Early Career" section has been plagiarised from numerous Chamillionaire biographies written by music websites. So, it's gone pending rewrite. I know it leaves a huge hole, but laziness is no excuse for copying and pasting. The Chief 10:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Keep an eye out for heavy vandalism for a little bit (and edit warring) by message board users. Vandalizing edits will generally include unexpected references to heavy nerd culture, like Pokémon. --GlitchBob dbug 20:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Removal of box addressing article problems
User:FAH1223 removed this: from the page, but none of the problems have been fixed, so it should be added back in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.84.16.32 (talk • contribs) August 9, 2006

Family
Chamillionaire's brother Rasaq Seriki is coming up in the rap buisness. You should look for Chamillionaire's single with Rasaq and Lil Wayne called "Fly as the Sky."

Mainstream Albums Box
I added the Mainstream Albums section and entered info into there. However, can someone make the table so it expands fully to the right like it is in Jay-Z's Wikipedia entry? Also, someone could also do the underground albums table/section.

Omershahab 15:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

his heritage has been taken off the article. His dad is a nigerian from oyo state, Nigeria.

He is making Mixtape Messiah 2 and is releasing it on his website chamillionaire.com for free on christmas eve I think. ~wiwoods~

WE NEED A PICTURE
we really need a picture for Chamillionaire Bazel 20:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

i posted a picture i took at a park of him and someone said it was against copyright rules or soemthing

Time For a Clean Up!
This article is too long and looks disorganized. I'd clean it myself but I don't know much about Chamillionaire. Jam

But you're looking at a biography about him... If you read, you'll know..

White and Nerdy
Someone should post information about the White and Nerdy song parodying White and Nerdy and how Chamillionaire said he liked it and Weird Al rapped well. I don't know enough of the story so I can't post it. -Mike Payne 03:35, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

They did include something about White and Nerdy one of his greatest honors of all. I don't we should add a section for that particular song..Sassychick1898 05:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

April 24 or June 5 Maybe even sept 18
There is no source I found that says Cham changed the release date for Ultimate Victory to June %th, his myspace has no blog that indicates this you idiot~Unsigned

yes there is go to his myspace page to his blog called.... I Just Dont Understand/ The Mind...go to the bottom he says "FYI............ "Ultimate Victory" got pushed back till june......trust me its a good thing..... I still havent turned in the album credits yet.... I was gettin worked too hard...almost overloaded" so dont talk mess when you dont know what you are talking about~Unsigned

HE DID POST IT ON HIS MYSPACE!!!! June 5th, I was waitin for march 27 now June, it has to be good, if hes buliding the suspense!~Unsigned

This article should mention Chamillionaire's decision to not use the N-word, the B-word and the H-word in his upcoming album, "Ultimate Victory".Fclass 17:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

on chams new blog he states he is pushing the album back as far as sept 18

Controversy
What the heck does this mean?

Recently, Chamillionaire says that he hates beef, especially after the release of Hip Hop Is Dead, and the appearance of what looks like an East Coast Vs. South conflict, and has blamed Corporate America instead, for the downfall of hip hop. He has asked all fans to forget the hip hop beefs, even his own. This is clear on the "Hip Hop is Dead (Skit)" on his recent mixtape, Mixtape Messiah pt. 2

He doesn't like meat products made from cow? Or is this a slang term? The wording here is strange and confusing to me. Also, it is a terrible run-on sentence. Hyperform 06:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

It means that Cham don't like people beefing... especially about the conflict with who's killing hip hop, the South or the East Coast. But on Mixtape Messiah pt. 2, he blamed Corporate America for the killing of Hip Hop.

That doesn't explain what "beefing" is. Holding a grudge? Having a row? The context seems to be displacing blame onto other people? Hyperform 05:46, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Just go here beef Bazel 20:58, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

damn, can somebody please get a picture Bazel 04:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

50 Cent Problem?
In a recent interview 50 cent has said, "dislikeful" words towards Chamillionaire (along with Ghostface and Master P) when he heard that they claimed they would not curse in future records (I have heard nothing about that) http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.5465/title.50-cent-takes-aim-at-chamillionaire-master-p-ghostface

Cham has stated many times recently that any and all beefs are settled and he's "Put all that nonsense behind me" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.118.20.84 (talk) 11:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

How is he saying that he hates beefs is contreversial?

Sabotage
Early career paragraph has sabotage in the first line. Madskile 23:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Marriage and shoe-line
Hi, due to an OTRS complaint I have removed the information about Chamillionaire's recent marriage and his shoe-line, as these are apparently false. His publicist contacted us regarding this. ~ Riana ⁂ 11:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Chamillionaire's singles
His singles section is wrong now. Bill Collecta has been scrapped as a second single for Ultimate Victory. Chamillionaire confirmed himself that Industry Groupie is his second single on his Myspace blog.

Possible copyright violation
There could be a copyright problem here. The Early career section sounds copy pasted. A Google search turns up some possible concerns. --S.dedalus (talk) 04:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

that article came after the one on wikipedia, they took it from wikipedia  Bazel (talk) 23:14, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Why is he listed as an African American?
He is a Nigerian American and this should be made clear, as recent African immigrants and their descendants are culturally very different from the descendants of the Africans brought as slaves during the slave trade. The two shouldn't be lumped together as they are different groups. 86.129.92.149 (talk) 13:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I've now removed him from all African American categories. ElijahTM (talk) 09:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

JBsupreme, why did you put him back in the categories? As has been mentioned, he is not a member of the African American ethnic group. ElijahTM (talk) 15:45, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

 * And where is Nigeria located, Europe? Read West Africa, and know where Nigeria is. Since he was born and raised in the U.S. of African parents, it therefore makes him African-American. Period. --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 05:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Nigeria is part of Africa. While recent immigrants from Africa are different than those that immigrated earlier, it doesn't change the fact that his ancestors are from the same continent. My lineage is similar to this example (though not of Africa). 98.198.83.12 (talk) 01:41, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Photo caption
[Mosmof Mods to this page] Can't see what this user seems to have that may appear to be growing personal against 5W Public Relations, yet her edit war and then making mods to links and captions that have been on Wiki for quite some time are beginning to look like a trend. I'd recommend that thius user halt for a while and tread carefully. PalinforVeep (talk) 13:10, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't have a problem with Mosmof's edit. The photo captions seemed needlessly promotional. — Satori Son 13:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Less about the edit and more as the stalking nature of the user... editors and admins here should look at objectivity.  What's needless about stating where the picture took place.  There are many captions that do that on Wiki in every language. PalinforVeep (talk) 13:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Since you say it's "Less about the edit and more" about the user, your comment here is misplaced. This page is primarily for discussing the article and edits to the article. If you think you have a legitimate gripe about an individual editor violating Wikipedia guidelines, please take it to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, which is a noticeboard where site administrators will review, discuss, and take action if appropriate. Thanks. — Satori Son 14:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Mixtape discography
I think his mixtapes should be added to the discography, each mixtape in the Messiah series has its own page and should be made more easily accessible. 76.6.90.16 (talk) 19:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Ready 2 Go album

Birthplace
Sorry to come back to this, but I just noted this page. Got to it from a page re Nigeria, which listed him as as from West Nigeria. Now, I agree that he was born in the U.S.A. but Houston? or Washington DC? Earlier on this talk page, it 'seems' the question is answered, with reference to a video. Maybe good source, but.... My usual source of uncontested information is IMDB which indicates Houston as his birthplace. Can good solid reference be found for the fact? --67.142.161.24 (talk) 16:02, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Mixtape Messiah (the first one) & Mike Jones diss
There was a very thorough feature article in the Houston Press about the rise and fall of Mike Jones. It says about Jones:

"He'd hit unexpected turbulence at the height of his underground success, in the form of Chamillionaire's The Mixtape Messiah in early 2005. The album's three discs were almost entirely devoted to intricate and specific take-downs of Jones — for, among other things, lying about his past, his dealings with Magno and his outlandish shit-talking and braggadocio, extreme even for a rapper, which quite possibly ignited the feud."

I know very little about Chamillionaire but the omission of his 2005 Mixtape Messiah album seems to be an oversight. Does it merit a mention, along with his feud with Mike Jones? Here is a source: http://www.houstonpress.com/2009-07-23/music/mike-jones-who/5. Greenth (talk) 16:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Philanthropist?
I notice that the lead refers to Chamillionaire as a philanthropist, but there is no mention of philanthropy in the body of the article. One of these two things should change so that they match up. -Chunky Rice (talk) 22:05, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Feud with Paul Wall
The former feud with former associate Paul Wall, is omitted but needs to be included, as it was monumental in shaping his solo career and is what allowed Chamillionaire to have a distinct solo career from his other Houston affiliates. TheHappiestCritic (talk) 18:54, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Battle of Yanling

The Battle of Yanling was fought in 575 BC between the states of Chu and Jin at Yanling during the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China. On the Jin side, Xi Qi (郤錡) commanded the right wing whilst Luan Shu (欒書) commanded the center with Han Jue (韓厥) on the left. Prior to the battle, Shi Xie wanted to avoid battle on the basis that external enemies are necessary for internal peace. The Chu army had the numerical advantage but with the exception of the King's personal guard, it was in poor condition. The Chu army was also commanded by Zifan (子反) and Zichong (子重), who hated each other. Following Luan Shu's advice, the Jin army took a defensive posture instead of going on the offensive. By dawn the Jin armies were deployed behind a marsh and ditch, which impeded Chu troops. Fen Huang, a Jin officer, pointed out that the best Chu troops in the center were bogged down by the marsh, leaving the flanks to be held only by badly disciplined 'wild tribes of the south'. Jin chariots then charged both Chu flanks, scattering the enemy. They then proceeded to attack the center, which contained the Chu King commanding his troops. Although the Chu King's life was endangered a couple of times, Jin officers let him escape as a sign of respect. However, he was wounded by an arrow and his army was driven back.

American Empire
POV here: the term "Soviet Empire" can't be used in normal articles, as can't be used "American Empire".

must wikipedia be a tosh repositary?
You know, I read this, and think that some historians think a lot of weird stuff, but we don't have to promote it!

Given the jolt that the 21st century began with in 2001, the 20th century fits perfectly within it's natural confines, reckonest I.

 * Wikipedia isn't promoting it, just identifying it.Eric Hobsbwam is an incredibly influential historian as well. Furthermore, to define 2001 as the start of "The (x) 21st Century" is silly, seeing as how if 2001 were given as said starting date, we'd only be six years in :p24.86.144.101 (talk) 10:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
