Aberdeen (UK Parliament constituency)

Aberdeen was a burgh constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1832 until 1885. It was represented by one Member of Parliament (MP), elected by the first past the post voting system.

Boundaries
As created in 1832, the constituency covered the burgh of Aberdeen, which was previously within the Aberdeen Burghs constituency. Together with Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen was one of two constituencies covering the county of Aberdeen.

The boundaries of the constituency, as set out in the 1832 Act, were-

 * "From the Point, on the North-west of the Town, at which the Scatter Burn joins the River Don, down the River Don to the Point at which the same joins the Sea; thence along the Sea Shore to the Point at which the River Dee joins the Sea; thence up the River Dee to a Point which is distant One hundred Yards (measured along the River Dee) above the Bridge of Dee; thence in a straight Line to the Point at which the March between the Parishes of Old Machar and Banchory Davenick crosses the Old-Dee-side Road; thence, Northward, along the March between the Parishes of Old Machar and Banchory Davenick, and Old Machar and Newhills, to the Point first described."

In 1885, the Aberdeen constituency was divided between Aberdeen North and Aberdeen South.

Elections in the 1870s

 * Caused by Sykes' death.

Pressure broadening
The presence of pertubing particles near an emitting atom will cause a broadening and possible shift of the emitted radiation.

There is two types impact and quasistatic

In each case you need the profile, represented by Cp as in C6 for Lennard-Jones potential

 * $$\gamma = \frac{C_p}{r^p}$$

Assume Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for both cases.

Impact broadening
From

For impact, its always Lorentzian profile

 * $$P(\omega)=\frac{1}{\pi}~\frac{w}{(\omega-\omega_0-d)^2+w^2)}$$

 * $$w+id=\alpha_p \pi n v\left[\frac{\beta_p|C_p|}{v}\right]^{2/(p-1)}

\Gamma\left(\frac{p-3}{p-1}\right)\exp\left(\pm \frac{i\pi}{p-1}\right)$$

 * $$\alpha_p=\Gamma\left(\frac{2p-3}{p-1}\right)\left(\frac{4}{\pi}\right)^{1/(p-1)}$$

 * $$v=\sqrt{\frac{8kT}{\pi m}}$$

 * $$\beta_p=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}\,\Gamma((p-1)/2)}{\Gamma(p/2)}$$

 * Linear Stark p=2
 * Broadening by linear Stark effect
 * $$\gamma=divergent$$
 * $$C2=???$$
 * Debye effects must be accounted for

 * Resonance p=3
 * Broadening by ???
 * $$\gamma=divergent$$
 * $$C3=???$$

 * Quadratic Stark p=4
 * Broadening by quadratic Stark effect
 * $$\gamma=divergent$$
 * $$C4=???$$

 * Van der Waals p=6
 * Broadening by Van der Waals forces
 * $$\gamma=divergent$$
 * $$C6=???$$

Quasistatic broadening
From

For quasistatic, functional form of lineshape varies. Generally its a Levy skew alpha-stable distribution (Peach, page 408)

 * $$\Delta\omega_0 L(\omega)=\frac{1}{\pi}\Re\left[\int_0^\infty

\exp(i\beta x-(1+i\tan\theta)x^{3/p})\,dx\right]$$
 * $$\beta=\Delta\omega/\Delta\omega_0\,$$
 * $$\Delta\omega=\omega-\omega_0\,$$
 * $$\theta=\pm 3\pi/2p\,$$
 * $$\Delta\omega_0=|C_p|\left(\frac{4\pi n}{3}\Gamma(1-3/p)\cos(\theta)\right)^{p/3}$$

 * Linear Stark p=2
 * Broadening by linear Stark effect
 * $$P(\nu)=\frac{1}{\pi\gamma}\int_0^\infty

\cos\left(\frac{x(\nu-\nu_0)}{\gamma}\right)\exp(x^{-3/2})\,dx$$
 * $$\gamma=|C_2|\pi\left(\frac{32n^2}{9}\right)^{1/3}$$
 * $$C2=???$$

 * Resonance p=3
 * $$P(\omega)=\frac{\gamma}{(\omega-\omega_0)^2+\gamma^2}$$
 * $$\gamma=|C_3|2\pi^2n/3\,$$
 * $$C_3=K\sqrt{\frac{g_u}{g_l}}~\frac{e^2f}{2m\omega}$$

where K is of order unity. Its just an approximation.

 * Quadratic Stark p=4
 * Broadening by quadratic Stark effect
 * $$P(\nu)=???$$
 * $$\gamma=|C_4|\left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\Gamma(1/4)\cos(\theta)n\right)^{4/3}$$
 * $$C_4=-\frac{e^2}{2\hbar}(\alpha_i-\alpha_j)$$

where $$\alpha_i$$ and $$\alpha_j$$ are the static dipole polarizabilities of the i and j energy levels.
 * $$\theta=\pm \frac{3\pi}{8}$$

 * Van der Waals p=6
 * Broadening by Van der Waals forces gives a Van der Waals profile. C6 is the wing term in the Lennard-Jones potential.
 * $$P(\omega)=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{2\pi}}~

\frac{\exp\left(-\frac{\gamma}{2|\nu-\nu_0|}\right)}{(\nu-\nu_0)^{3/2}}$$ for
 * $$(\nu-\nu_0)C_6\ge 0$$

0 otherwise.
 * $$\gamma=|C_6|\frac{8\pi^3n^2}{9}\,$$
 * $$\Delta \omega_0=\frac{\pi^4 n^2}{9}|C_6|\,$$
 * $$C_6=-K\frac{\mu_1^2}{\hbar}(\alpha_i-\alpha_j)$$

where K is of order 1.

Cuthbert A. Brereton

Cuthbert Arthur Brereton (17 September 1850 – 12 September 1910) was a civil engineer and a partner of Sir John Wolfe Barry. Together they completed numerous projects in England and Wales, the most prominent being the King Edward VII Bridge over the Thames at Kew, London.

Also with Barry he had been involved with the construction of Barry Docks and railways, the Middlesbrough Docks, the Surrey Commercial docks, and the great Northern, District & and Piccadilly underground lines. He had previously been resident engineer to the Llynvi and Ogmore Railways, and the Portcawl Docks and was afterwards assistant engineer on the London Inner Circle railway. He built the Ladykirk and Norham Bridge over the River Tweed. He was a lieut. colonel of the Engineer and Railway Staff Corps.

He was elected to the Smeatonian Society in 1896 and became their president in July 1909 until his death.

Born in Brinton, Cuthbert came from a Norfolk family that produced other notable Victorian engineers R.P. Brereton (Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Chief Assistant) and R.M.Brereton chief engineer on the Bombay, Nagpore, and Calcutta portion of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway, 1867–70, and advocate in the US Congress for the building of irrigation canals in California.

One of the notable aspects of Jesse Helms is his incendiary rhetoric and actions on matters related to race. Yet, the lead makes no mention of the fact that the man was a race-baiter and, in the eyes of many, a racist. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 03:08, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Aleksandar Hemon

Aleksandar Hemon (Александар Xeмoн; born September 9, 1964) is a Bosnian-American author, essayist, critic, television writer, and screenwriter. He is best known for the novels Nowhere Man (2002) and The Lazarus Project (2008), and his scriptwriting as a co-writer of The Matrix Resurrections (2021).

He frequently publishes in The New Yorker and has also written for Esquire, The Paris Review, the Op-Ed page of The New York Times, and the Sarajevo magazine BH Dani.

Hemon is also a musician, distributing his Electronica work under the pseudonym "Cielo Hemon."

Early life
Hemon was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, then Yugoslavia, to a father of partial Ukrainian descent and a Bosnian Serb mother. Hemon's great-grandfather, Teodor Hemon, came to Bosnia from Western Ukraine prior to World War I, when both countries were a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Biography
Hemon graduated from the University of Sarajevo and was a published writer in former Yugoslavia by the time he was 26.

Since 1992 he has lived in the United States, where he found himself as a tourist and became stranded at the outbreak of the war in Bosnia. In the U.S. he worked as a Greenpeace canvasser, sandwich assembly-line worker, bike messenger, graduate student in English literature, bookstore salesperson, and ESL teacher. He earned his master's degree from Northwestern University in 1996.

He was awarded a MacArthur Foundation grant in 2004.

He published his first story in English, "The Life and Work of Alphonse Kauders" in Triquarterly in 1995, followed by "The Sorge Spy Ring," also in Triquarterly in 1996, "A Coin" in Chicago Review in 1997, "Islands" in Ploughshares in 1998, and eventually "Blind Jozef Pronek" in The New Yorker in 1999. His work also eventually appeared in Esquire, The Paris Review, Best American Short Stories, and elsewhere. Hemon also has a bi-weekly column, written and published in Bosnian, called "Hemonwood" in the Sarajevo-based magazine, BH Dani (BH Days).

Hemon is currently a professor of creative writing at Princeton University, where he lives with his second wife, Teri Boyd, and their daughters Ella and Esther. The couple's second child, 1-year-old daughter Isabel, died of complications associated with a brain tumor in November 2010. Hemon published an essay, "The Aquarium," about Isabel's death in the June 13/20, 2011 issue of The New Yorker.

Hemon grew up near the Grbavica Stadium, and he is a supporter of the Željo, as the Sarajevo based football club FK Željezničar is affectionately called, with a membership. He is also a supporter of Liverpool Football Club.

Works
In 2000 Hemon published his first book, The Question of Bruno, which included short stories and a novella.

His second book, Nowhere Man, followed in 2002. Variously referred to as a novel and as a collection of linked stories, Nowhere Man concerns Jozef Pronek, a character who earlier appeared in one of the stories in The Question of Bruno. It was a finalist for the 2002 National Book Critics Circle Award.

In June 2006, Exchange of Pleasant Words and A Coin were published by Picador.

On 1 May 2008, Hemon released The Lazarus Project, inspired by the story of Lazarus Averbuch, which featured photographs by Hemon's childhood friend, photographer Velibor Božović. The novel was a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award, the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award, and was named as a "New York Times Notable Book" and New York magazine's No. 1 Book of the Year.

In May 2009, Hemon released a collection of stories, Love and Obstacles, which were largely written at the same time as he wrote The Lazarus Project.

In 2011, Hemon was awarded the PEN/W.G. Sebald Award chosen by the judges Jill Ciment, Salvatore Scibona, and Gary Shteyngart.

Hemon's first nonfiction book, The Book of My Lives, was released in 2013.

Hemon's novel The Making of Zombie Wars was released in 2015.

He published his second work of non-fiction, My Parents: An Introduction, in 2019.

On August 20, 2019, it was announced that Hemon would co-write the script for The Matrix Resurrections alongside David Mitchell and Lana Wachowski. The film was released on December 22, 2021.

His latest novel The World and All That it Holds was published on February 2, 2023. It was the winner of the 2023 Grand Prix de Littérature Américaine, which honors the best American novel translated into French and published in France. (The book was published in France as Un monde de ciel et de terre by Calmann-Lévy, translated by Michèle Albaret-Maatsch.)

Articles
In October 2019, Hemon joined many intellectuals in an international public outcry against the decision of the Nobel Committee to award Peter Handke a Nobel Prize in literature earlier that month (they opposed the award because of Handke's support of the late Slobodan Milošević and the author's Bosnian genocide denial). Hemon wrote an opinion piece in The New York Times, published October 15, criticizing the Nobel committee for its decision.

TV and film
While in the United States, Aleksandar Hemon started working as a screenwriter, and collaborated with Lana Wachowski (the Wachowskis) and David Mitchell as co-writer on the finale of the TV show Sense8 and the film The Matrix Resurrections.

Critical reception
As an accomplished fiction writer who learned English as an adult, Hemon has some similarities to Joseph Conrad, which he acknowledges through allusion in The Question of Bruno, though he is most frequently compared to Vladimir Nabokov. All of his stories deal in some way with the Yugoslav Wars, Bosnia, or Chicago, but they vary substantially in genre.

Losing My Edge

"Losing My Edge" is the debut single by American rock band LCD Soundsystem. It was released as a 12-inch single in July 2002, through DFA Records. It was later featured on the CD version of their eponymous debut studio album. "Losing My Edge" peaked at number 115 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also listed at number 13 on Pitchfork's Top 500 Songs of the 2000s list. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 40 on its "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years" list. In June 2018, Rolling Stone listed it at number 77 on its "The 100 Greatest Songs of the Century – So Far" list.

Background
In an interview with the music site "ireallylovemusic", James Murphy (the leader of the group) explained his inspiration for the song: "When I was DJing, playing Can, Liquid Liquid, ESG, all that kind of stuff, I became kind of cool for a moment, which was a total anomaly. And when I heard other DJs playing similar music ...I was afraid that this new found coolness was going to go away and that's where 'Losing My Edge' comes from."

Composition
"Losing My Edge" is a dance-punk, alternative dance, and techno song. It features a rhythm similar to "Change" by Killing Joke. DFA Records cofounder Tim Goldsworthy admitted that ""Losing My Edge" was "a rip-off of a Killing Joke track".

Track listing

 * dfa 2123

Personnel
Personnel adapted from the liner notes of the single's Record Store Day 2012 release.

Veikka Gustafsson

Eero Veikka Juhani Gustafsson, known as Veikka Gustafsson (born 14 January 1968) is a Finnish climber who has ascended all 14 eight-thousanders in the world without using supplemental oxygen. He is also known for presenting a TV travel show on Finnish television.

Climbing career
In 1993, Gustafsson became the first Finnish person to reach the summit of Mount Everest. In the spring of 1997, he also became the first Finn to have climbed to the summit without using bottled oxygen. Gustafsson is the 17th person to have summited all 14 of the highest peaks above 8,000 metres, and the 9th to do so without using supplemental oxygen. Research published in 2022 estimated that Gustafsson is one of only three climbers to have stood on the "true" geographical summit of all the eight-thousanders, and he was the second to do so after American climber, Ed Viesturs.

Phil Elverum

Philip Whitman Elverum (born May 26, 1978) is an American musician, songwriter, record producer and visual artist, best known for his musical projects the Microphones and Mount Eerie. Based in Anacortes, Washington, in the mid-2000s he began to spell his surname Elvrum as "Elverum".

Life
Phil Elverum was born on May 26, 1978, in Anacortes, Washington. Growing up, Elverum's father regularly made mixtapes for him and his sister. He soon started to play the tuba but after three years moved onto drums. At age 14, he started his own band "Nubert Circus", playing the drums and writing lyrics. Elverum attended Anacortes High School. After graduating, he traveled across Canada with his then-girlfriend. In the summer of 1997, during his "punk rock experience", he moved to Olympia, Washington, where he lived until 2002. Elverum briefly attended Evergreen State College. He expressed little interest in college, favoring the music scene, although he remained a relative unknown. Elverum would later cite the music scene as the reason he moved. Elverum's primary source of income was music, performing small tours.

In his adolescence, Elverum worked at Anacortes-based record store The Business where he would record music in the backroom after hours. During his time there, he met Beat Happening member Bret Lunsford who offered him a job as the drummer of the band D+ alongside Karl Blau. While living in Olympia, he would periodically return when low on money. Elverum described his time at The Business as his "entry point to alternative music", noting how it helped him become immersed in the scene. Also during his adolescence, Elverum expressed a desire to become a filmmaker, frequently making movies with his friends and screening them at a coffee shop.

By January 2000, he was living at the "legendary Track House", after living in various other houses, such as the "House Of Doom" in Quincy, Washington, which was according to Elverum, "Legitimately haunted. Raccoons and rats would eat your food right off the shelf. Poison barrels buried in the yard." A black house surrounded by forests, the Track House was used by prominent independent musicians in the Olympia music scene. In his free time, Elverum would record music across the street at Dub Narcotic Studio and volunteer at the local food co-op. Elverum moved out of the Track House by 2002.

In 2002, Elverum spent a winter in northern Norway, two hours from Bodø. He kept a log of his time there which became Dawn: Winter Journal and the songs composed for Dawn. In 2003, Elverum met Canadian artist and musician Geneviève Castrée through mutual friends. They married on February 29, 2004. They originally intended to move to Canada, but after searching for residency decided to remain in the United States, in the town of Anacortes, where both Castrée and Elverum would become influential in the local music scene, in particular the forming of the What The Heck festival. Castrée was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer following the birth of the couple's first child in 2015 and died on July 9, 2016.

Elverum married actress Michelle Williams in July 2018 in a private ceremony in the Adirondacks. Around the same time, he moved from his long-time residence in Anacortes to Williams' home in Brooklyn. The couple separated in January 2019, and filed for divorce in April 2019. Following the split, Elverum moved back to Washington, after having lived in New York for about nine months. By November 2019, it was reported that they were no longer married. In 2020, Elverum, with help from his brother, was building a house off the coast of Anacortes. Elverum had previously intended to build the house with Castrée.

Elverum has described his parents as "mystical about nature", although these beliefs were not tied to a specific religion. In an interview from 2012, he stated that "a lot of the ideas that I’m trying to enunciate reflect a more or less Buddhist ideology. Even though I’m not Buddhist, at all, I come across these same ideas... I’m taking things from that tradition and reframing them in my world." Elverum has expressed disdain for religion in general.

Music career
Elverum is best known for having recorded and performed under the band names The Microphones (1996–2003, 2019–2022) and Mount Eerie (2003–present). While the projects are distinct, Elverum views them as "one progression" stating that his goal is to make a varying body of work with a cohesive theme running through it, although there is a "dividing line between pre-Geneviève dying and post-Geneviève dying". He is known for his prolific recordings with both projects; in 2019, The National reported that Elverum had created 40-plus albums. He uses mostly analog recording equipment and often works in his own studio spaces, where he has the time and freedom to experiment with sounds.

In 2004, Elverum created the label P.W. Elverum & Sun, Ltd., through which he has released records by Mount Eerie and The Microphones, as well as The Spectacle, Thanksgiving, Woelv, Nicholas Krgovich, Key Losers and Wyrd Visions. Prior to this, he was closely linked to K Records, working with artists like Mirah, Kyle Field, Karl Blau, Calvin Johnson and The Blow. Though influenced by the sense of community, his releases from that time were primarily made by himself. Elverum personally prints, packages, and ships his own vinyl and merchandise. He explained his reasoning for doing so as wanting to "understand the process holistically, and then maybe grow into more complex forms of organization later." Elverum also creates all of the visual art for his musical releases. In 2012, he helped establish a studio and venue called "The Unknown" at a disused church in his hometown of Anacortes.

Elverum has also performed with other bands, worked as a producer for other artists, and released music under different names. In 1996, he joined D+ as the drummer. That same year, Elverum released a cassette under the title X-Ray Means Woman. In 1998, he became the drummer for Old Time Relijun, a position he held until 2002. In 2000, Elverum produced Mirah's debut, You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This. He went on to produce her next three records as well as performing on The Old Days Feeling. His production credits would extend to 2004 when he produced Adrian Orange's Thanksgiving and Castrée's Pamplemoussi. Castrée's next album was also created with Elverum's involvement.

His musical influences include Eric's Trip, Will Oldham, Björk, Nirvana, Popol Vuh, Sunn O))), Angelo Badalamenti, Tori Amos, The Cranberries, Sinéad O'Connor, Red House Painters, Sonic Youth, This Mortal Coil and Stereolab. Both Eric's Trip and Stereolab, in particular, were important to Elverum. A self-described fan of Eric's Trip, he has called Julie Doiron his favourite singer and stated that meeting and playing shows with her "was a dream come true." He toured as Mount Eerie with Doiron in 2019. He also recalled how he would send fan mail to the band. In the song "Microphones in 2020", he described seeing Stereolab perform "one chord for fifteen minutes" in a show at Bellingham, Washington, and stating that "something in me shifted" and that "I brought home belief that I could create eternity." He has also called grunge a "formative influence." Elverum's non-music influences include zen poetry, specifically the work of Eihei Dōgen and Gary Snyder.

In a 2014 interview, Elverum discussed how he almost always composes songs as he records them, with songs created outside of a studio setting usually recorded not long afterward. In that same interview, he talked about his desire to record music that was "deep sounding enough that a listener could potentially inhabit the world of sound totally."

Under both Mount Eerie and The Microphones, Elverum has recorded multiple versions of and sequels to his songs, such as demos or auto-tuned re-recordings and condensed albums. Common themes and motifs in his work include the Moon, humanity's relationship to nature and technology, health, relationships, the human condition, impermanence, loneliness and the fleetingness of life,  although he denies that any of his songs are about "sadness or isolation". According to Elverum, nature within his work is "just the version of the world that I use to represent a neutral, non-human place where we're living out our weird adventures." Before meeting Castrée, his songs would be dictated by "whatever specific turmoil I was going through." After meeting her, he became more withdrawn and intentionally chose not to discuss their relationship, until Mount Eerie's 2017 album A Crow Looked at Me, which is centered around her death.

Musical style
On the topic of his musical style, Elverum has said: "You can easily find out what my music sounds like. I will not try to describe it". He has, however, described the aesthetics of his music as an attempt to replicate "a dark presence in nature" found in shows such as Twin Peaks. Elverum's writing has been described as Lynchian. Erin Vanderhoof of Vanity Fair described Elverum's aesthetics as "acoustic...stripped-down and ponderous." Sam Lewis of The Skinny described it as "dreamlike, morbid and transcendent." Brea Acton noted that it "displays a fine balance between digital and analogue processes", with Elverum "drawing on digital techniques as a distancing mechanism as well as using it to enact intimacy."

Elverum's music incorporates elements of ambient, folk, and black metal. Despite this, Elverum's music has also been said to elude an exact genre. His songs frequently "alternate and shift", "transitioning from beautifully delicate melodies to pounding, fuzzy riffs". They also frequently feature "skittering rhythms" and the "merging of drum machines". His lyrics have been described as "confessional", "sparse", "tersely poetic" and "conversational", his singing "speak-sing" and his storytelling "free-flowing."

The Believer magazine described his work as "delicately sparse or layered and noisy, often in the same song. Lyrically, he focuses on memory, first-person storytelling, myth, naturalism, the everyday as sacred, and sense of place (in and out of Washington state)". Slate described it as "fairly subdued yet intense and solipsistic, with a kind of American transcendentalist aesthetic (Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman) combined with a distinctly Pacific Northwest naturalist mysticism." Todd Van Luling of HuffPost noted that despite Elverum's "noise experimentation", "the cores of the songs are still straightforwardly affecting."

His style has been praised for its personal and grounded nature. Rachel Laitman wrote: "The effectiveness of Elverum’s style reminds us about the injury, and profound misunderstanding, incurred when we put the form of expression called singing in a box."

Legacy
Under both The Microphones and Mount Eerie, "Elverum has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of current indie rock." Isabel Zacharias claimed that Elverum, "to a pocket of Pacific Northwesterners, is more folkloric deity than musician" with his releases under The Microphones propelling him to "indie-god status".

Visual art and other work
Elverum is also known for his artwork and photography. Early in his career, he produced limited-run fanzines and song booklets which were sold during Microphones tours. Since establishing P.W. Elverum & Sun, Ltd., he began to experiment with letterpress printing and other elaborate packaging ideas for his releases. In 2007, he published a hardcover book of film photography with a 10" picture disc titled Mount Eerie pts. 6 & 7.

In 2009, Elverum hosted his first art show, In Dreams, at Stumptown Coffee in Portland, Oregon. The exhibition consisted of landscapes Elverum photographed in Norway, France, and rural Washington, using antique cameras and expired film. In 2014, Elverum released Dust, a book of digital photography bound in stamped linen. He sells large-scale photographic prints and ink paintings through his online store. His album Microphones in 2020 was accompanied by a lyric video consisting of over 800 photos. In 2020, Elverum stated that he was working on an art book of Castrée's unpublished work.

In 2001, while on tour, Elverum wrote a "paper opera" play as part of a magazine centering around the theme of death. In 2005, he created a 365-day comic calendar titled Fancy People Adventures, which was later syndicated by music website Tiny Mix Tapes. In 2017, after finishing his eighth studio album as Mount Eerie, Elverum created a book about Anacortes, Washington.

Elverum has also experimented with filmmaking, producing background visuals for his shows (released as a limited-edition DVD entitled Fog Movies) and promotional videos for several Mount Eerie songs. He has stated that he does wish to one day make movies, viewing them as the "ultimate art form" and as such the culmination of his creativity.

Is it legal to link the movie itself? Is the movie itself freely distributable?

 * No, the author of the film asked not to distribute copies of it. --Anthony Ivanoff 28 June 2005 03:56 (UTC)

 * It doesn't matter if we have a link to the movie, as long as the movie is not on Wikipedia... if for some reasons there is a copyright infringement on the movie, then it will be taken off that site and nothing will happen to us. Cbrown1023 17:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

is the interviews freely avaliable?

Red links
The main red links at this point are links to various film festivals. Many of these festivals are red-linked from elsewhere too (e.g., Film festivals in North and Central America). It seems to mainly represent a lack of coverage on Wikipedia's part of various (smaller) film festivals. I don't think any of these red links need to be removed from this article, and therefore propose removing the "redlinks" tag. --Erik Demaine 20:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Levittown, Pennsylvania

Untitled
The math is correct; the absolute figures are rounded to 1 decimal, while the percentage is calculated from unrounded figures. Mkweise 18:33, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Township of Upper Darby may have more people than the Levittown CDP, Scranton 215, but you're comparing apples and oranges. Levittown is not a township, and it's not a municipality, as is so carefully explained in the Levittown article. In fact, that may be the article's singular point. Upper Darby Township, by contrast, does not consist solely of Upper Darby; it likewise includes other CDPs, such as Drexel Hill, Secane, Primos and Glenolden (In fact, there are fire companies in this communities, with mailing addresses in Secane and Drexel Hill, that make the point that they are located nonetheless in Upper Darby *Township,* but their addresses are not *Upper Darby*). So ... The Upper Darby CDP (not to mention the others listed) are all smaller than Levittown.

In contrast, of course, Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey (not to mention Camden, city of) happen to be coextensive with the municipalities their names are associated with, but this is because, of course, in New Jersey, the correlation between municipal boundaries and CDPs is much tighter than it is in Pennsylvania (where the interaction between place names and name of Townships, particularly in the Philadelphia suburbs, is bizarre, ambiguous and overlapping).

So ... is Upper Darby Township a "suburb" of Phildelphia? I think not; it's a suburban municipality of Philadelphia, that contains (parts of Drexel Hill and other places, many blissfully unaware of where they actually live) and Upper Darby (its own self, the "rump" portion that happens to use both Upper Darby as a mailing address and is within Upper Darby Township). I mean, it's quite possible that once Middletown Township is built out, it will contain well over 90,000 people as well-- but it well be spread over mailing addresses in Langhorne, Levittown and Newtown (which of course are also contained in other municipalities as well). Does it make any sense to speak of Middletown Township as one "place" let alone one "suburb" under those circumstances? Middletown Township suffers from a lack of "placeness" much in the same way Upper Darby Township does, given that people who live there do not think of themselves as living in the same "place."

People could differ, I suppose, but in this case, I'm not comparing municipal corporations in any event (seeing as how Levittown is not a municipal corporation). I'm comparing places.

I will add a citation that has Levittown as Philadelphia's largest suburb (and not largest suburban municipality, as Levittown is not a municipality) in Pennsylvania.Blondlieut 22:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)blondlieut@aol.com

Township v. CDP Comparison

It's one thing to change the text once, it's quite another to change it again without engaging in any discussion about it, when I've gone to some length to do so. Is there some reason why you've done so without addressing my points? The way in which you've inserting a lengthy list of Pennsylvania Townships, all of whom have multiple places within them (Bensalem=Trevose, Cornwells Heights, Eddington, Andalusia, etc.; Bristol Township=Levittown, Croydon, Bristol, etc;), at the beginning of an article about *Levittown,* which is not a township, begs the question about what they might possibly be doing there. It's one thing to acknowledge that, yes, indeed, there are municipal corporations (that might not be properly more than one place, as is indeed the case with Bristol Township itself, which contains a part of Levittown, so why does it make any sense to compare that TO LEVITTOWN??), it's quite another thing to list a bunch of meaningless township names to beat the point into the ground.

If you would like to add a list of the largest townships in the Philadelphia suburbs to the Philadelphia article, and link to THAT, by all means do so, but a list of the largest townships in the Philadelphia suburbs does NOT belong at the beginning of the article (or anywhere in the article about **Levittown**). Blondlieut 01:32, 16 February 2006 (UTC)Blondlieut@aol.com

The only reason I added the list of all the "bigger" townships was to make sure the article came across as factually accurate; the tone almost made it seemed like Upper Darby was the only bigger Philly PA township. I like the way you have written it in this final revision, by saying "Upper Darby, and other townships are bigger..." Scranton215 05:13, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

"Famous" people

 * Is there a reference for Mike Stefanoni being on the PGA Tour? I checked pgatour.com and he was not in their database of current or past players.  I found no other reference to this "fact" other than this Wikipedia entry.  If true, while interesting to those that know him, is he (yet) famous enough to be included in the list?  (Disclaimer: I'm from Levittown and had known Stefanoni and his family, I just want to assure the quality and accuracy of the article) User:ewindisch 14:06, 01 April 2008.

Nowhere Man (Hemon novel)

Nowhere Man is a 2002 novel by Aleksandar Hemon named after the Beatles song "Nowhere Man". The novel (subtitled The Pronek Fantasies) centers around the character of Jozef Pronek, a Bosnian refugee, who was already the subject of Hemon's novella Blind Jozef Pronek & Dead Souls published in his short story collection The Question of Bruno (2000).

The novel comprises a series of vignettes telling the story of a character named Jozef Pronek, a Ukrainian born and raised in Bosnia. Pronek's biography is related by multiple narrators. The book can be divided into three sections. The first section describes Pronek's peaceful childhood in 1980s Sarajevo. The second section follows Pronek as he is a university student in Kyiv in the Soviet Union at the time of the 1991 political turmoil (narrated by his dormitory roommate Victor Plavchuk). In the third part of the book Pronek is an immigrant in Chicago, where he works in a series of low-paid jobs including working as a Greenpeace canvasser, which enables him to observe the lives of middle-class Chicagoans. Some of these elements are reflective of the author's own life.

The novel's final chapter, spanning the years 1900 to 2000, is a departure from Pronek's adventures and recounts the story of a Russian White Army officer and his adventures in Harbin and Shanghai.

 * As was 11111 (Votes for deletion/11111). "Verifiable and NPOV" are not our sole criteria.  In every case so far, people espousing this rationale have actually turned out to have a different rationale when pressed.  (See Votes for deletion/Wikimedia In Memoriam 9/11, for example.)  Please explain your actual rationale. Uncle G 09:11, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
 * True enough. My rationale is broader but I presumed that this topic had already been discussed to death so I haven't generally elaborated in the past. Thank you, nonetheless, for your interest in my vote. Firstly, Schools/Arguments. Secondly, I believe schools are encyclopedic. Lastly, Verifiable and NPOV articles can be written and Jimbo says Verifiable and NPOV are enough. For more detail, see: Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Clockhouse Primary school.  Double Blue  (Talk) 00:57, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * With respect, I think you only needed to point out that the article was "verifiable, NPOV and about a school". :) Wikipedia hasn't deleted a single school in over seventy nominations for deletion, and looking at the 25-or-so pending discussions I don't think that's about to change soon. I have no idea why anyone would want to vote on a number article; presumably people who are interested in numbers know which ones they think are interesting and which not. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:05, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
