Talk:John I Tzimiskes

Untitled
I observed the name and wish to add that there is a Region named after Tzimisces. It is called Tzimisgezek. My ancestors came fromm theis area of Anatolia, Turkey. To furthere state that they lived here up until 1915, when they were forcibly sent into exile and the great genocide against the ARmenian nation by the Young Turks.

Name(s)
Can someone explain the distinction between "last name" and "surname" in the first paragraph of this article? --Jfruh 28 June 2005 21:33 (UTC)
 * Kourkouas (Gourgen in Armenian, still quite popular) is the family name. Tzimisces was the nickname he was given. Eupator 17:03, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Curcuas
I have created a stubby little placeholder of an article on the marginal Byzantine general Curcuas, a catepan of Italy. Is Curcuas a Latinisation of Kourkouas and, if so, is he a relative of the emperor John I? Srnec 06:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * See Kourkouas.--  Ευπάτωρ   Talk!! 19:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Phokadai
Are there any more info on them? The article says they were of Armenian origin, which is the only piece of information I found about them in wiki till now, what were the sources you used? Until now I thought that their name root was Greek, coming from the word phoke(gr:φώκη, en:seal), and thus betrayed Greek origin, I would appreciate some insight. Thanks. Maniakes 04:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The name is most certainly of Greek origin. They were hailing from Cappadocia and thus could have been Greek or Armenian, I think why some scholars assigned Armenian origins to that family is because of the occurance of many Armenian first names such as Bardas within their ranks. More info here: http://www.geocities.com/ritahorvath/CAP4.html--  Ευπάτωρ   Talk!! 19:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link, but as it says there, their Armenian origin isnt proved, only speculated, and the usage of the name Bardas could be explained by marriages between them and other families of Armenian origin, just like the Kourkouai in Tzimiskes occasion. Yet in this wiki article it is given as a fact. Maniakes 20:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Problem is we have some sources that say they were Armenian, others that say they could have been Greek or Armenian. Anyway back then they were all Romanoi, it's just their origin. I'll go and dig up my Peter Charanis book and reference that sentence.--  Ευπάτωρ   Talk!! 22:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If a subject is still up to debate then AFAIK wikipedia should aknowledge it and present both sides of the argument if any at all, that is the reason Im asking for sources, if you have indisputable sources then please do present them and put an end to this controversy, above all I wish to learn.
 * And allow me to disagree, not all were Romaioi and its not just their origin, or else there wouldnt be that much fuss going on about it, neither then, nor now. ;) Maniakes 23:19, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

John?
I take it that English was widely spoken in X century Crete?....lol...how dumb do you need to be to create an article like this? Norum 20:06, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Poor quality inclusion of popular references
First off, you shouldnt revert. since you made the new changes you must bring it to the talk page, secondly according to the links I sent to you, your edits are describing very minor references (in this case a comic book), see MOS:POPCULT, also heading should be written as "Popular culture" not what you did, also you shouldn't capitalize each word, see WP:NCCAPS, thirdly your writings are unclear why write ISBN there, this isnt normal Danial Bass (talk) 09:32, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Thank you. I have removed the comic books, capitals and ‘isbn’. I hope that the edit is now acceptable. Effomatus (talk) 13:50, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Incheon Subway Line 1

Incheon Subway Line 1 is a 30.3 km north-south subway line, part of the Incheon Subway system. The line is also included as a part of the overall Seoul Metropolitan Subway network; Bupyeong Station has a free transfer with Seoul Subway Line 1, Gyeyang Station connects with the AREX Line which leads to Incheon International Airport and Seoul Station, Bupyeong-gu Office Station has a free transfer with Seoul Subway Line 7, and Woninjae Station has a free transfer with the Suin-Bundang Line.

Background
Incheon's Line 1 makes Incheon the fourth city in South Korea and fifth in the Korean Peninsula with a subway system, after Pyongyang, Seoul, Busan, and Daegu.

A trip along the line from Gyeyang in the north to the International Business District in the south takes approximately 57 minutes. From Bakchon station to the International Business District station, the line is underground.

History

 * March 1999: Trial runs begin.
 * October 6, 1999: The line opens from Bakchon to Dongmak, after six years of construction.
 * December 7, 1999: A northern extension from Bakchon to Gyulhyeon opens.
 * March 16, 2007: Another northern extension from Gyulhyeon to Gyeyang opens, connecting with the Airport Railroad
 * June 1, 2009: A southern extension from Dongmak to International Business District opens.
 * December 12, 2020: One stop extension to Songdo Moonlight Festival Park opens.

Future plans
A northward 3-station extension of the line is proposed to provide transportation to the developing Geomdan New City. Construction began in November 2020 and is expected to be completed no earlier than 2024.

Rolling stock
The line uses 34 8-car trains. The first 25 trains were built between 1998 and 1999 by Daewoo Heavy Industries and Rotem, while the last 9 trains were built between 2007 and 2008 by Hyundai Rotem to provide trains following the extension of the line.

Stations
All stations are location in Incheon.

Yet another limp fork of Qur'an desecration controversy of 2005 (see also Votes for deletion/Qur'an desecration at Guantánamo Bay).

Talk:Kingsway Hall

Untitled
I created this page because of the Kingsway Hall's important role in both the history of Methodism in the UK, and also in the history of classical and film music recording. However, I know no more about the hall than what I put in the article - any further information very welcome.

Added by Lately Gay, 091208.

The kingsway rumble would have been caused by the stretch of the Piccadilly Line between Holborn and Covent Garden which runs virutally beneath Longacre. The tunnel linking Holborn and the now defunct Aldwych runs beneath the East side of Kingsway, well away from the Hall.

I am a first time Wikipedia user so I am nervous about editing an a entry so I am putting my contribution here for now.

Saponaria officinalis

Saponaria officinalis is a common perennial plant from the family Caryophyllaceae. This plant has many common names, including common soapwort, bouncing-bet, crow soap, wild sweet William, and soapweed. There are about 20 species of soapworts altogether.

The scientific name Saponaria is derived from the Latin (stem sapon-) meaning "soap", which, like its common name, refers to its utility in cleaning. From this same Latin word is derived the name of the toxic substance saponin, contained in the roots at levels up to 20 percent when the plant is flowering (Indian soapnuts contain only 15 percent). It produces a lather when in contact with water. The epithet officinalis indicates its medicinal functions. It is a common host plant for some moth species, including the white-lined sphinx.

Saponaria officinalis' native range extends throughout Europe, and in Asia to western Siberia. It grows in cool places at low or moderate elevations under hedgerows and along the shoulders of roadways. It can be found as a horticultural escape and noxious invasive in much of North America.

Description
The plant possesses leafy, unbranched stems (often tinged with red). It grows in patches, attaining a height of 70 cm. The broad, lanceolate, sessile leaves are opposite and between 4 and 12 cm long. Its sweetly scented flowers are radially symmetrical and pink, or sometimes white. Each of the five flat petals have two small scales in the throat of the corolla. They are about 2.5 cm wide. They are arranged in dense, terminal clusters on the main stem and its branches. The long tubular calyx has five pointed red teeth.

The individual flowers open in the evening, and stay open for about three days. They produce a stronger scent at night and supplement nectar production during the night. The flowers are protandrous: on the second night of blooming, the pollen is released, and the stigma develops to its final position by the third night. Much of the seed production comes from self-pollination. The flowers are visited by various insects including Noctuidae, Sphingidae, bumblebees, and hoverflies.

In the Northern Hemisphere Saponaria officinalis blooms from May to September, and in the Southern Hemisphere October to March.

External use
As its common name implies, it can be used as a very gentle soap, usually in dilute solution. It has historically been used to clean delicate or unique textiles, especially woollen fabrics; it has been hypothesized that the plant was used to treat the Shroud of Turin.

A lathery liquid that has the ability to dissolve fats or grease can be procured by boiling the leaves or roots in water. Leaves are chopped, boiled, and strained; the liquid can then be used as soap.

In the Romanian village of Șieu-Odorhei, natives call the plant săpunele. It is traditionally used by the villagers as a soap replacement for dry skin.

Internal use
An overdose can cause nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Despite its toxic potential, Saponaria officinalis finds culinary use as an emulsifier in the commercial preparation of tahini and in brewing to create beer with a good head. In the Middle East, the root is often used as an additive in the process of making halva. The plant is used to stabilize the oils in the mixture and to create the distinctive texture of halva.

Chemistry
Saponaria officinalis contains the flavone saponarin.

Templar automobile

Templar was a manufacturer of automobiles in Lakewood, Ohio from 1917 to 1924. The company was named for the Knights Templar and used a Maltese Cross as an emblem.

Advertising themselves as "The pioneer builder of quality small cars", the first Templar car had a four-cylinder, overhead-valve engine of 3.2 litres capacity coupled to a three-speed transmission mounted in a chassis with a 118 in wheelbase. The entry of the United States into World War I severely curtailed production, the company making artillery shells for the war effort. Only around 150 cars were made in 1918. Body styles included a coupe with coachwork by Leon Rubay at US$4250, a Victoria Elite tourer, a 3-door sedan and a sports model called the Sportette at US$2400. The cars were extremely well equipped with a compass and Kodak camera as standard equipment.

Full production resumed in 1919 with 3 body types, the coupe, Sportette and sedan. 1800 cars were built by the 900 employees. While the post war boom continued, the company could sell every car it made and Templar even increased prices in 1920 and 1921. The 1921 coupe, still basically the 1917 car, cost US$3785, as did the five-passenger sedan, while the five-seat tourer, four-passenger Sportette, and two-seat touring roadster were US$2885.

By contrast, an Enger 40 was US$2000, the FAL was US$1750, US$2000, the Oakland 40 US$1600, the Cole 30 and Colt Runabout were each US$1500, the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout was US$650, and Western's Gale Model A was US$500, but Templars were still well below the Lozier Light Six Metropolitan tourer and runabout at US$3,250 and coupe US$3,850 or even American's lowest-price model, which was US$4250 (its highest was US$5250), while the 1913 Lozier Big Six tourer and roadster started at US$5,000.

Competition was increasing, so in 1922, two cheaper models were announced, a roadster and a Deluxe Sports at US$1985. Production was severely affected following a major fire which had swept through the works in December 1921, and receivers were appointed in October 1922.

The company was re-financed and became the Templar Motor Car Company in 1923, and work started on a 4.3-litre six-cylinder engine, as the new management decided the future was in larger cars. The new models were based around a 122 in wheelbase frame with a range of four- and five-seat bodies. Four-wheel brakes were also introduced. However, only 125 cars were sold in 1923.

By late 1924 it seems the money ran out, and the company passed into the ownership of a local bank who had called in a loan, and production ceased.

 * Support; multiple widely used common names make the scientific name a good choice for article title. "Soapwort" is a more commonly used name than "common soapwort", but is ambiguous with the genus. Plantdrew (talk) 18:23, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Support "Common soapwort" is a 'fake' common name – an English name made up to distinguish species commonly just called "soapwort". To expand a little, in the case of birds, where there is a single internationally agreed list of such made-up names, there is a case for using them as article titles. In the case of plants, where at best there is only national agreement on such made-up names, there isn't. A Saponaria species which is common in one country may not be in another, making this a bad article title for an international encyclopaedia. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:26, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Support; for all the reasons plantdrew gives. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:54, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Napalm Beach

Napalm Beach is an American rock band formed in Portland, Oregon. They are considered early innovators of the grunge sound. Nicholas Pell, writing for the Portland Mercury said "a huge influence on the grunge and alternative rock of the 1990s, Napalm Beach never had the name recognition of other Portland bands like Poison Idea or the Wipers." Napalm Beach shared the stage with bands such as X, Public Image Ltd., Joan Jett, Johnny Thunders, Gun Club, Bad Brains, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Dead Moon, and Poison Idea. They also toured Germany five times between 1989 and 1992. During their long musical career they have released more than 30 studio and live recordings in various formats on a number of small independent labels in the U.S. and Germany.

At the core of the group was Chris Newman on guitar, and Sam Henry on drums. Sam Henry was the original drummer for the Wipers and Portland band The Rats (with Fred and Toody Cole) before joining Napalm Beach in 1981. The group went through thirteen bass players before Dave Dillinger came on board in 1989. The group's earliest recordings were done on the Trap label, owned by Greg Sage of the Wipers.

Courtney Love lived in the Napalm Beach band house in 1981.

Talk:Kilij Arslan I

Birthdate 1079
Was he really born in 1079? That would make him still an adolescent at the time of the First Crusade? Didn't he have grown sons at the time of his death? john k 16:51, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)hi

 * I have no idea where I got that date from...I can no longer find anything that mentions his age at all, but he seems to have had a family already in 1092 (Anna Comnena seems to imply that, anyway). Sorry! Adam Bishop 19:37, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * The Crusades Through Arab Eyes, by Amin Maalouf, mentions that he was "not yet seventeen when the invaders arrived" (p 3). That would fit with a birth date of 1079. Maalouf wrote the book in 1989, so he can't have picked up the date from the Wikipedia article (like every other source now on the net seems to have done). --Jesuisse 22:09, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

-- "Kılıç Arslan" isn't Arabic. They are Turkic words. Kılıç-Sword, Arslan-Lion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.230.106.218 (talk) 17:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC) i have change the statement "He also destroyed crops and water supplies along their route in order to damage logistical supplying of the Crusader Army." into this one, "He also poisoned crops and water supplies along their route in order to damage logistical supplying of the Crusader Army which in turn caused heavy losses to the Crusaders again."

i will add resources soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.179.96.13 (talk) 13:00, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

February 2011
KansasBear, I think part of the dispute here may be the use of a source from 1802. Surely we could have learned more about Kilij Arslan in the subsequent 200 years. Adam Bishop (talk) 22:51, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Actually, it has more to do with the fact that I had made the edit than anything to do with the circumstances surrounding his death. Do you have more information in regards to his demise? --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:50, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Judging by the systematic revertion of my edits, your concern seems specious. Here, the anon IP removes the Cambridge University reference. Also other reverts, by said anon IP removed references and referenced information with no edit summary or explanation on the talk pages.
 * The "200 year old reference"
 * Was not initially placed by me.
 * Was without volume number or publisher
 * Did not state Kilij Arslan died in his capital(Mosul)
 * Therefore, I simply used the same reference found the circumstances of his death and filled out the reference. --Kansas Bear (talk) 00:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Hmm, true...I'm not really sure what the dispute is then. The citation from the Cambridge History of Islam is fine, and I've updated the 1802 reference to Runciman's History of the Crusades from 1951, which says the same thing anyway. Maybe the anonymous editor can explain what the problem is? Adam Bishop (talk) 03:45, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Diva house

Diva house or handbag house is an anthemic subgenre of house music that became most popular in gay clubs during the second half of the 1990s. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary British Culture defines handbag house as having "prominent female vocals, breakdowns, and a proliferation of piano 'stabs'." Modern diva house compositions use synth stabs and four on the floor rhythms.

Background
The term "diva house" was in use as early as July 1992, when Billboard magazine described "What Are We Doin'" by Dee Dee Simone as "iron-lunged diva-house". It is known for booming unisex vocals, sometimes sampled from other recordings. Such samples come from soul, disco, gospel recordings and even show tunes performed by singers like Bette Midler, Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, and other gay icons. This bombastic genre can include songs performed by dance specialists as well as club remixes of pop songs by singers such as Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston.

The term "handbag house" appears to be particularly popular on British dancefloors and refers to the notion of a group of female club-goers dancing around a pile of their handbags. Dance culture's usage of the word 'handbag house' started life as a derogatory term.

In the 1990s, as gay clubs and gay culture became more mainstream so did house music. The accessibility of diva house lead to the mainstreaming of gay club music. In the UK especially, handbag house became emblematic of the clubbing culture. According to music historians Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton, by the mid-1990s handbag house had helped to make clubbing into a "mainstream leisure activity." With the mainstreaming of gay culture in the 1990s, "diva" was the word that bound house music to the gay dance scene, which was previously only defined by Italo disco compositions.

Music critic Simon Reynolds asserts that handbag house was "initially a disparaging term, coined by condescending cognoscenti vis-à-vis the anthemic, chart-penetrating house tunes that allegedly appealed to women, and above all to the folk-mythic construct of Sharon and Tracy." According to electronic music producer Ewan Pearson and academic Jeremy Gilbert, "handbag house" is often derided as "plastic disco" by dance music fans who prefer "the more esoteric sound of musics which eschew the 'mainstream' musical priorities of melody and verbal language." The mainstream appeal of handbag house caused underground dance music purists to flock to the spin-off genres of hardbag, progressive house, deep house, and garage house. Sociologist Dunja Brill argues that criticism of handbag house carries a "misogynist slant in club cultural representations of the denigrated mainstream of 'Handbag House' against which Ravers define their subculture." Brill maintains that bias against handbag house "is expressed most clearly in a femininisation of the denigrated 'mainstream' of pop culture against which subcultures define themselves."

Atle Antonsen

Atle Antonsen (born 11 August 1969, in Lillehammer ) is a Norwegian comedian and actor.

Antonsen has participated in and contributed to several television and radio shows, including XL and XLTV (1998–99), Nissene på låven (2001), Uti vår hage (2003), Team Antonsen (2004), Tre brødre som ikke er brødre (2005), Etaten (2006), Uti vår hage 2 (2008), Dag (2010–15), and Nissene over skog og hei (2011). He has also appeared in feature films, including starring roles in the animated feature Kurt blir grusom (Kurt Turns Evil, 2008) and the comedy Kong Curling (Curling King, 2011). He also appeared in the music video for Lemaitre's song We Got U.

Antonsen has cooperated with such comedians as Harald Eia, Bård Tufte Johansen, Kristopher Schau, Johan Golden, and Espen Thoresen Hværsaagod-Takkskalduha. Atle Antonsen and Johan Golden currently host a weekly radio show called "Misjonen" ("The Mission") on Fridays on Norwegian national radio station P4. The show first aired in August 2008, and was a continuation of their previous radio show "Kommisjonen" ("The Commission") which aired on now-defunct radio station Kanal 24.

In the Norwegian parliamentary election in 2001 Antonsen and Golden spearheaded the campaign for The Political Party, a party formed as a satiric statement on modern politics.

Antonsen is a member of German-language rock band DDR, most famous for their comical music videos, along with Johan Golden.

Antonsen has been awarded a Norwegian Comedy Award (Komiprisen) four times: Best Stand-up in 2004 and Male Comedian of the Year in 2007, 2008, and 2012. He also received Gullruten for Best Actor for Tre brødre som ikke er brødre in 2006. On 1 September 2007, at the Norwegian Comedy Awards, Antonsen was awarded the Male Comedian of the Year. He started his speech by saying that the last time he won an award, his mother told him that he didn't thank people properly, and that he was going to do better this time. He paused for a couple of seconds before shouting out "Damnit! (Faen!) Didn't work this time either."

In 2010, he briefly appeared at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo.

In 2012 he starred as King Arthur in the highly successful Norwegian staging of Spamalot, at Folketeatret in Oslo.

Since 2019, Antonsen has hosted Kongen befaler, the Norwegian version of the British TV series Taskmaster, in the role of the Taskmaster, with Olli Wermskog as his assistant. Kongen befaler was awarded Gullruten for Best Entertainment Program in 2022. In November 2022, Antonsen announced he was stepping down from the role after being reported to the police by poet and author Sumaya Jirde Ali for racist remarks on 23 October 2022 at Bar Boca in Oslo. The case was dismissed the same month, and in August 2023, Antonsen's return to Kongen befaler was announced.

Talk:WHIZ

Untitled
This should either be a disambiguation page to seperate articles on the radio and television stations (for example see: WNBC), or greatly expanded to more thoroughly cover the radio and television stations (for example see: WCCO). As it is, the article seems to be in limbo between a disambig and a stub. SwissCelt 16:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I decided to clean up the article with the idea that it was not meant to be a disambiguation page (I used KQED as an example). However, I am still keeping the cleanup notation up. Pentawing 00:23, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I added info on the fictional WHIZ radio (where Capt. Marvel the superhero's alter ego works). Though do wonder if this *should* be a disambiguation page, given there's one fictional station, two radio stations, and one television station all with the same call letters... even if (I assume) the real stations are owned by the same company/are all located in southeastern Ohio. If they were split up, I suppose "WHIZ-FM", "WHIZ-AM", "WHIZ-TV" (with digital TV info listed under this one, as DTV stations are just a subsidiary/different version of the same analog station), and finally whatever to call the fictional version ("WHIZ (comics)" I guess?), would suffice, especially if one plans on adding detailed information (station history, important dates, etc.) about any of these stations. Anthony Dean 18:26, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Since you brought up the station from the Captain Marvel comics, the article could be set to disambiguation. My concern is that the amount of information currently in place is too much for such a disambig. article. Only when someone moves the information to separate articles can this article be changed to disambig. Pentawing 05:31, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Done. However, the resulting articles barely qualify even as stubs.  I'm hoping someone with more knowledge of the stations (real and fictional) can expand on these before the VfD cops come out. -- SwissCelt 18:12, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Bunty Aur Babli

Bunty Aur Babli is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language crime comedy film directed by Shaad Ali and written by Jaideep Sahni, based on a story by Aditya Chopra, who produces the film under the Yash Raj Films. The film, inspired by the 1967 American film Bonnie and Clyde, stars Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Rani Mukerji in lead roles and marks the first of the many collaborations between the former two (father and son respectively in real life). The younger Bachchan and Mukerji play the titular con-artist partners-in-crime, while the elder Bachchan plays the DCP whose focus is solely to catch them.

The soundtrack of Bunty Aur Babli was composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, with lyrics written by Gulzar and Blaaze together, and was released under the banner YRF Music. Bunty Aur Babli released worldwide on 27 May 2005, and proved to be a commercial success at the box-office, grossing ₹90.4 crore worldwide, thus becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2005. It received positive reviews from critics upon release, with praise for its direction, novel story, screenplay, soundtrack, humor, costumes, styling and performances of the cast.

At the 51st Filmfare Awards, Bunty Aur Babli received 8 nominations, including Best Film, Best Actor (Abhishek Bachchan), Best Actress (Mukerji) and Best Supporting Actor (Amitabh Bachchan) and won – Best Music Director (Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy), Best Lyricist (Gulzar) and Best Female Playback Singer (Alisha Chinai), the latter two for the song "Kajra Re".

The film was remade in Telugu as Bhale Dongalu (2008). A sequel under the title of Bunty Aur Babli 2, starring Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh was released theatrically on 19 November 2021.

Plot
Rakesh Trivedi is from a small village named Fursatganj. His father is a ticket collector on a train and wants him to get into a similar occupation as well. However, Rakesh has big dreams; he is forever coming up with new business schemes and is convinced he will make it big one day. He adamantly refuses any notion that he will one day work in a 9-to-5 environment. Rakesh's father gives him an ultimatum – go on the job interview he has arranged or get out of the house.

Vimmi Saluja is the daughter of a Punjabi family in another small village named Pankinagar; she spends her hours watching films and studying supermodels and dreams of becoming Miss India. However, Vimmi's parents tell her they have arranged her marriage to a young man with a decent job which she is not interested in.

Rakesh and Vimmi pack their bags and sneak out in the dark of the night. They bump into each other at a train station and become friends after realizing their stories are similar. They support and encourage each other to achieve their dreams: Vimmi tries to enter the Miss India contest but gets thrown out after an argument when she refuses to sleep with someone to get a part. Rakesh tries to sell his ideas for an investment scheme, but a businessman turns him away. A man he had met at a restaurant stole ideas from Rakesh's presentation file and when he enters the office, the interviewer states someone before he came in with the same idea. After finding out that the businessman who Rakesh had approached used his idea to make money, he and Vimmi con him and take the money they believe is rightfully theirs.

Once they realize how easy it is to con people, they decide to run some more cons to raise money to make it to Bombay.

Unfortunately, they find the lifestyle too exciting to give up. Adopting the names of 'Bunty' and 'Babli', they successfully pull off con after con, looting the rich dressed as local guides, religious priests, health inspectors, business partners, etc. Their flamboyant antics make them famous in newspapers nationwide. Soon, their friendship leads to romance and they decide to continue conning as husband and wife.

Little do Bunty and Babli know that DCP Dashrath Singh is catching up with their cons, getting closer each day. He relentlessly pursues them across India in the hopes of putting them behind bars. To complicate matters, Bunty and Babli have a child and, after a very close call eluding Dashrath, they decide to quit conning for their child's sake. This decision leads to their capture by Dashrath. While in custody, their heartfelt confessions and conversation soften the policeman's heart and he lets them go, certain he had destroyed Bunty and Babli's career as criminals.

Three years later, Dashrath rescues Bunty and Babli from their mundane domestic lives by offering them to work for the nation thwarting the activities of other scammers.

Reception
The film was a critical and commercial success, becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of the year. Designer Aki Narula dressed Mukerji a new look Patiala salwars and kurtis, which became popular.

Influence
The glorification of crime in the movie inspired many people to emulate the glamorous couple, resulting in a trend of real-life Buntys and Bablis.

One such case is that of Sushant and Kajal, a married couple who conned two businesses out of money using a photo frame. The Darjeeling-based couple did a Bunty Aur Babli on their victims, and were caught and arrested.

Another case of the movie's influence on crime is that of another married couple, Suresh and Rekha. Their crimes also mirrored those committed in the film, and they admitted to committing the crimes they were accused of in a "Bunty Aur Babli" style.

Yet another couple, a sister and brother-in-law, were caught for crimes that mirrored those committed in the film. Shahnaaz Bano and Sajid Ahmed were caught smuggling and shoplifting diamonds and other expensive merchandise out of stores, using disguises.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack was composed by the musical trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy and was released on 15 April 2005 by Yash Raj Music. Initially, A. R. Rahman was approached to compose the film's music, having worked on Ali's previous film Saathiya (2002), but he declined due to his date issues. The lead actors Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji danced to the tunes of the album. The lyrics were penned by Gulzar and Blaaze. According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 19,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's second highest-selling.

Track listing
Lyrics by Gulzar except where noted.

The music of Bunty Aur Babli received positive reviews from critics. Sukanya Verma of Rediff, said in her review, "On the whole, the music of Bunty Aur Babli, with its over-the-top, uninhibited, rustic and teasing spices, makes for one helluva musical masala." Planet Bollywood's review concluded, "Overall, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy do an excellent job of getting different singers for each track, trying to infuse different beats together and creating an album worth buying. It'll take a few listens to pick your favourites, but it's fresh and an above-average album to own. Enjoy!" "Bunty Aur Babli does not contain your routine Yash Chopra genre of music that is choreographed around the meadows and Swiss alps. They are more of situational rhythmic tracks that take a story forward" Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama said in his review. Glamsham was full of praise for the lyrics by Gulzar, "Throughout this zany, zingy and zippy album, the 70-year-old Gulzar imbues a youthfulness that comes from being young at heart. Indeed that's the quality, which flows freely out of this album. You can't miss its zest for life… or its lunge towards a luscious nirvana obtained from looking at life through rose-tinted glasses." Avijit Ghosh wrote in The Telegraph, "In essence, Bunty Aur Babli is an on-the-road flick about a boy and girl in search of fun and freedom rather than a story of two cons. To capture the splintered yearnings of smalltown India which watches Aastha channel in the morning and FTV at night is a difficult and ambitious task. But like his protagonists, director Ali pulls it off. Bravely. Almost."

Sequel
In December 2019, Yash Raj Films announced a sequel, Bunty Aur Babli 2, to be directed by Varun V. Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra. The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Siddhant Chaturvedi and debutante Sharvari Wagh as the leads, and was scheduled to be released on 26 June 2020, but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic. It released theatrically on 19 November 2021. Although the film is a direct sequel and takes places after 16 years of the first film but the character of Bunty is portrayed by Saif Ali Khan replacing Abhishek Bachchan. The sequel of the film was received negative reviews from critics and was box office disaster.

Legacy
Mukerji's performance has been noted as one of her notable works. Her character Babli, became a popular and recognizable character. She was also named by Rediff as one of Bollywood's most beloved characters. Mukerji and Bachchan were named in Bollywood Hungama's list of the top 10 best romantic couples of the decade.

The songs of the film became popular. "Kajra Re" was voted as the best song of 2005 by listeners of 3 radio stations catering for South African Indians. Hidekaz Himaruya, the manga artist who created Hetalia, embedded the video of "Dhadak Dhadak" on his blog around Christmas time, which caused a sudden influx of Himaruya fans commenting on the video. The film was remade in Telugu as Bhale Dongalu (2008), starring Tarun, Ileana and Jagapati Babu. Time Out placed the film at 63rd position in its "The 100 best Bollywood movies" list.

Tyrosinemia

Tyrosinemia or tyrosinaemia is an error of metabolism, usually inborn, in which the body cannot effectively break down the amino acid tyrosine. Symptoms of untreated tyrosinemia include liver and kidney disturbances. Without treatment, tyrosinemia leads to liver failure. Today, tyrosinemia is increasingly detected on newborn screening tests before any symptoms appear. With early and lifelong management involving a low-protein diet, special protein formula, and sometimes medication, people with tyrosinemia develop normally, are healthy, and live normal lives.

Cause
All tyrosinemias result from dysfunction of various genes in the phenylalanine and tyrosine catabolic pathway, and are inherited in an autosomal-recessive pattern.

Type I tyrosinemia results from a mutation in the FAH gene, which encodes the enzyme fumarylacetoacetase. As a result of FAH deficiency, the substrate fumarylacetoacetate can accumulate in proximal renal tubular cells and hepatocytes, resulting in damage to the kidney and liver, respectively.

Type II tyrosinemia results from a mutation in the TAT gene, which encodes the enzyme tyrosine aminotransferase. As a result of TAT deficiency, the substrate tyrosine accumulates, causing ophthalmologic and dermatologic abnormalities.

Type III tyrosinemia results from a mutation in the HPD gene, which encodes the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase. Type III tyrosinemia is the rarest of the three conditions, with only a few cases ever reported. Most of those cases have included intellectual disability and neurologic dysfunction.

Types
Type I tyrosinemia can be detected via blood tests for the presence of a fumarylacetoacetate metabolite, succinylacetone, which is considered a pathognomonic indicator for the disease.

Type II tyrosinemia can be detected via the presence of significantly elevated plasma tyrosine levels, and the diagnosis can be confirmed by detection of a mutation in TAT in cultured fibroblasts.

Type III tyrosinemia can be diagnosed by detection of a mutation in HPD in cultured fibroblasts.

Treatment
Treatment varies depending on the specific type; a low-protein diet combined with the use of a specially engineered formula to supply protein is required in most cases. Experience with nitisinone has shown it to be effective, especially when started within the first month of life, and it is now the standard course of treatment. It is a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1) in combination with dietary restriction of tyrosine and phenylalanine. Liver transplant is indicated for patients with tyrosinemia type I who do not respond to nitisinone, as well as those with acute liver failure and hepatomas.

Histogenesis

Histogenesis is the formation of different tissues from undifferentiated cells. These cells are constituents of three primary germ layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. The science of the microscopic structures of the tissues formed within histogenesis is termed histology.

Germ layers

A germ layer is a collection of cells, formed during animal and mammalian embryogenesis. Germ layers are typically pronounced within vertebrate organisms; however, animals or mammals more complex than sponges (eumetazoans and agnotozoans) produce two or three primary tissue layers. Animals with radial symmetry, such as cnidarians, produce two layers, called the ectoderm and endoderm. They are diploblastic. Animals with bilateral symmetry produce a third layer in-between called mesoderm, making them triploblastic. Germ layers will eventually give rise to all of an animal's or mammal's tissues and organs through a process called organogenesis.

Endoderm
The endoderm is one of the germ layers formed during animal embryogenesis. Cells migrating inward along the archenteron form the inner layer of the gastrula, which develops into the endoderm. Initially, the endoderm consists of flattened cells, which subsequently become columnar...

Mesoderm
The mesoderm germ layer forms in the embryos of animals and mammals more complex than cnidarians, making them triploblastic. During gastrulation, some of the cells migrating inward to form the endoderm form an additional layer between the endoderm and the ectoderm. A theory suggests that this key innovation evolved hundreds of millions of years ago and led to the evolution of nearly all large, complex animals. The formation of a mesoderm led to the formation of a coelom. Organs formed inside a coelom can freely move, grow, and develop independently of the body wall while fluid cushions and protects them from shocks.

Ectoderm
The ectoderm is the start of a tissue that covers the body surfaces. It emerges first and forms from the outermost of the germ layers.

Production

The proceeding graph represents the products produced by the three germ layers.

Insular G

Insular G (majuscule: Ᵹ, minuscule: ᵹ) is a form of the letter g somewhat resembling an ezh, used in the medieval insular script of Great Britain and Ireland. It was first used in the Roman Empire in Roman cursive, then it appeared in Irish half uncial (insular) script, and after it had passed into Old English, it developed into the Middle English letter yogh (Ȝ ȝ). Middle English, having reborrowed the familiar Carolingian g from the Continent, began to use the two forms of g as separate letters.

Letter
The lowercase insular g (ᵹ) was used in Irish linguistics as a phonetic character for, and on this basis is encoded in the Phonetic Extensions block of Unicode 4.1 (March 2005) as U+1D79. Its capital (Ᵹ) was introduced in Unicode 5.1 (April 2008) at U+A77D. The insular g is one of several insular letters encoded into Unicode. Few fonts will display all of the symbols, but some will display the lowercase insular g (ᵹ) and the tironian et (⁊). Two fonts that support the other characters are Junicode and Tehuti.

The insular form of g is still used in traditional Gaelic script.

Turned insular g
A turned version of insular g (Ꝿ ꝿ) was used by William Pryce to designate the velar nasal ŋ.

Sejong Center

Sejong Center for the Performing Arts is the largest arts and cultural complex in Seoul, South Korea. It has an interior area of 53,202m². It is situated in the center of the capital, on Sejongno, a main road that cuts through the capital city of the Joseon Dynasty. The center took 4 years to complete, opening in 1978. It was "built as a cultural center for Seoulites". It currently contains one of the biggest pipe organs in Asia.

History
After the Seoul National Hall was destroyed by fire in 1972, the construction of a venue to continue the cultural heritage of that structure was proposed. Construction began in 1974, and it completed in April 1978. In 1999, the center was placed under control of a foundation.

The center's design was based on a fusion of Korean national symbols and the western architectural designs. The name "Sejong" is from the 4th ruling king of the Joseon Dynasty, Sejong the Great.

On 23 September 2012, the Seoul Metropolitan Government started on a trial basis, a 550-m designated section of Sejong-ro as pedestrian-only but permitted for cyclists. The section includes the road from the Gwanghwamun three-way intersection, along Gwanghwamun Plaza in front of the Sejong Center to the Sejong-ro intersection.

Main Auditorium
The "Big" Theater as it is called in Korean, is a technologically advanced theater. It opened in 1999 to show Shim Hyung-rae's Yonggary and has a capacity for 3,000 people and is the biggest Theater at the country.

Minor Hall
Called The "Small" Theater in Korean, is constructed in an interesting style over 2 floors, and can seat 442 people, the stage can allow for 100 people on performance.

Arts Forum Galleries

 * Main Gallery: The Arts Forum is a large room (1,056 m2) that is divided into 4 separate rooms for viewings of different sizes and numbers.
 * New Gallery: The New Gallery is a (594 m2) place for artwork that excels in the social, popular and cultural side of Korean art.
 * Gwang Hwa Moon Gallery: Originally part of the 5th Line Subway Metro System, it houses artworks that are considered to be outstanding by the youth and new up-and-coming artists. Considered to be an example of Subway Art Galleries.

Gwang Hwa Rang
The Gwang Hwa Rang is situated underneath the Sejong-ro crossroads, it opened on February 17, 2005, with complete free access to pedestrians and art-discerning Seoulites. It includes a window-gallery that enable by-passers on ground level to peek inside.

Sejong Convention Center and Hall
The Convention Center and Hall is usually used for big events and conferences. With a size of 627 m2, it can house around 400 people. It is available for many different events. It includes 250 translating systems that interprets five different languages simultaneously. The convention hall has a smaller size convention center that is used for similar purposes and is able to accommodate 120 people.

Sam Chung Gak
Measuring in 19417m², Sam Chung Gak is a collaboration of six traditional Korean Housings. Since 2001, it has been used by the center as a place for traditional heritage experience.

Allen was assigned to start the 2006–07 season with Boston's AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins. He spent the first half of the season with Providence before playing his first NHL game in 5 years with the Bruins on January 17, 2007, against the Buffalo Sabres. Allen's physical play earned him a spot with the Bruins for the remaining half of the season. On July 6, 2007, after testing free agency Allen re-signed with the Bruins to a one-year contract for the 2007–08 season.

Allen only managed to play in only 19 games over the season with the Bruins as he was hampered by a back injury. Before the 2008–09 season Allen was diagnosed with two herniated discs in his back and has been unable to play since.

Swedish Health Services

Swedish Health Services, formerly Swedish Medical Center, is the largest nonprofit health provider in the Seattle metropolitan area. It operates five hospital campuses (in the Seattle neighborhoods of First Hill, Cherry Hill and Ballard, and the cities of Edmonds and Issaquah), ambulatory care centers in the cities of Redmond and Mill Creek, and Swedish Medical Group, a network of more than 100 primary-care and specialty clinics.

Founded as a nonprofit hospital in First Hill, Seattle in 1910, the then-named Swedish Hospital was formed by 11 Swedish Americans who wanted to offer care that incorporates the medical advances seen in other parts of the country. As of 2021, it employs more than 3,800 physicians and handles more than two million outpatient visits per year. The hospital network has been owned by the Catholic healthcare system Providence Health & Services since 2012.

History
Dr. Nils August Johanson founded Swedish Hospital in 1910 as Seattle's first modern nonprofit medical facility. Dr. Johanson was an immigrant from Sweden and was the father-in-law of Seattle businessman Elmer Nordstrom. After returning from attending medical school at the University of Denver, he was disappointed by the facilities and the thinking in Seattle's hospitals, particularly those related to germ control and surgical techniques. In 1932, Swedish opened the first cancer-care center west of the Mississippi. The board of trustees for Swedish Hospital were historically of Swedish descent until the election of two non-Swedish-American doctors in 1968.

Swedish originally started with its First Hill campus, but began to expand its network by merging with Seattle General Hospital (founded 1895) and the Doctors Hospital (founded 1944) in May 1978. Swedish then expanded outside First Hill when it purchased Ballard Community Hospital in the Seattle district of Ballard (founded 1928) on July 1, 1992. The Ballard purchase was followed up with that of Providence Seattle Medical Center (founded 1876) in the Central District from Providence Health & Services in February 2000. After a decade, Swedish began expanding outside Seattle and King County with its lease of Stevens Hospital (founded January 26, 1964) Edmonds on September 1, 2010, and the opening of a brand-new campus in Issaquah in July, 2011.

In 2009, Swedish partnered with The Polyclinic to implement electronic health records, and in 2012, it became a division of Providence Health & Services. In 2014, Swedish formed new partnerships with Group Health Cooperative and Pacific Medical Centers.

Catholic affiliation
Swedish Health Services is owned by the Catholic healthcare system Providence Health & Services. In 2012, Swedish and Providence announced that the two hospital systems would form an alliance, with both organizations citing their own staffing challenges caused by budget shortfalls as the reason. Swedish emphasized that it would remain a nonreligious organization, although the formerly independent Swedish would become a division of Providence. Around the same time of the merger announcement, Swedish also stopped performing elective abortions “out of respect for the affiliation,” and offered to instead underwrite a Planned Parenthood center adjacent to its Seattle hospital.

The Catholic affiliation came under scrutiny in 2020 when Virginia Mason Medical Center, another major Seattle hospital network, announced that it would merge with the faith-based Catholic Health Initiatives and similarly cease elective abortions. Before the merger, 41% of all Washington state hospital beds were already located in Catholic facilities. During the 2022 abortion protests, Swedish issued a statement clarifying that it is not bound by the Conference of Catholic Bishops’s Ethical and Religious Directives and would continue to offer birth control.

COVID-19 pandemic
During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the hospital administration threatened to fire an anesthesiologist for wearing a surgical mask while walking in the hallway. The hospital has since backed down. It also required workers infected with coronavirus to exhaust sick and vacation time before granting them 80 hours of emergency time off.

Swedish Medical Center is one of only seven hospitals in Washington that can perform extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and accepted patients with extreme cases of COVID-19 during the pandemic. The hospital is performing clinical trials of Tocilizumab to counter the effects of a cytokine storm, an extreme immune reaction that occurs in the most extreme cases of COVID-19.

Notable Staff
Since May 15th 2023, Dr. Elizabeth Wako has served as Swedish's chief executive officer.

Amy Walters

Amy Walters is a journalist for Al Jazeera's podcast The Take.

She began her career as an assistant at NPR's Middle East Bureau after graduating from Earlham College. In 2000 she joined the staff of Morning Edition in Washington, D.C., then moved across the building to NPR's All Things Considered, where she contributed to NPR's award-winning coverage of September 11th.

In 2003 she helped to open NPR West and increase NPR's presence on the West Coast, from her new base she traveled around the country and the world. She covered the U.S. led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the 2010 BP oil spill, the 2011 earthquake in Haiti, the 2011 Arab Spring in Libya and Egypt. Back in California the big news events were Arnold Schwarzenegger's election as governor in 2003, California's troubled prison system; and the death of pop legend Michael Jackson in 2009.

Walters has won numerous audio journalism awards, the Peabody Awards, a DuPont-Columbia Award, Edward R Murrow Awards, and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for investigative journalism. Many of those awards were won at NPR, working with the Investigative Unit's Laura Sullivan. NPR's Ombudsman Edward Schumacher-Matos concluded their 2011 investigation into the South Dakota foster care system for Native American children series was "deeply flawed" and "should not have been aired as it was." NPR, however, stood by the series and called the ombudsman's report "unorthodox, the sourcing selective, fact-gathering uneven and the conclusions, subjective or without foundation." Two subsequent reports, one by a coalition of nine Lakota tribes, and another by the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, reviewed the ombudsman's report and found the NPR series was sound. In May 2015, a federal judge ruled in summary judgment in favor of South Dakota's tribes finding that the State of South Dakota and its Department of Social Services had "failed to protect Indian parents' fundamental rights."

Walters continued her career at the Reveal for the Center for Investigative Reporting with hour long audio documentaries. She helped uncover problems with US foreign aid and President Trump's Washington DC hotel, possible emoluments clause violations, and ongoing Department of Justice investigation into kleptocracy involving the Malaysian fund 1MDB. She also received two 2018 Edward R Murrow Awards for her work on the #CitizenSleuth project with Center for Public Integrity. The project invited Citizen Sleuths to uncover new information from the financial disclosure forms of Trump appointees. Most recently she was 2019 Peabody award finalist for. She is now produces audio documentaries for Al Jazeera's podcast unit.

Marshall railway station

Marshall railway station is located on the Warrnambool line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the southern Geelong suburb of the same name, and opened on 26 April 2005.

A previous station on the site, named Connewarre, opened on 14 July 1879, and was renamed Marshall on 1 April 1907. That station was closed to passengers on 14 October 1957, and the platform had been removed by 22 July 1958. The station was closed to all traffic on 17 February 1964.

During the 2002 Victorian state election, the State Government promised that a new station would be provided in the vicinity to serve the rapidly expanding southernmost suburbs of Geelong, with the exact site to be determined. During the planning stages, the station was named Grovedale. In December 2003, it was announced that the new station would be built adjacent to the Marshalltown Road level crossing, on the site of the former Marshall station. Following a naming competition, it was revealed in September 2004 that the new station would be called Marshall.

The station opened on 26 April 2005, and was initially served by Warrnambool line trains only. From September 2005, Geelong line services were extended from South Geelong, and Marshall became the terminus for most Geelong-line trains. Following its opening in October 2014, Waurn Ponds station became the terminus for the majority of Geelong line services.

As part of the state government's Regional Rail Revival project, a new station building is under construction, incorporating an upgraded waiting room and forecourt, and a second platform will be provided, with the platforms to be connected by a pedestrian overpass. There will also be more car parking spaces, an upgraded bus interchange, and improvements to lighting and CCTV coverage. As part of the works, the track between Waurn Ponds and South Geelong will be duplicated, with the exception of the two-kilometre section across the Barwon River flood plain.

The former Geelong Racecourse station was located between Marshall and South Geelong.

Platforms and services
Marshall has one platform. It is served by V/Line Geelong line trains and some Warrnambool line trains.

Platform 1:
 * services to Waurn Ponds and Southern Cross
 * weekday evening and two weekend services to Warrnambool and Southern Cross

Platform 2:
 * Future service
 * Future service

Transport links
McHarry's Buslines operates four routes via Marshall station, under contract to Public Transport Victoria:
 * : Geelong station – Deakin University Waurn Ponds Campus
 * : Geelong station – Jan Juc
 * : Geelong station – Jan Juc
 * : Geelong station – Ocean Grove

Talk:Bernard Moffatt

Vandalism
Please note that a certain person seems intent to vandalise the pages on Bernard Moffatt, Mec Vannin, Celtic League (political organisation). It seems each time, information that they are uncomfortable with for some reason, is removed. The vandalism has come from two separate IPs, and has removed links and historical facts.

It's (im)Partial celt who has the problem with historical fact, even going as far as to invent a policy for Mec Vannin that has never existed.

 * So why remove quotes that Bernard Moffatt actually said, and relevant links unless you're just trying to vandalise the article? You're obviously uncomfortable with certain hard facts. Isn't Mec Vannin republican, taking a strong stance on the oath to the queen that MHKs are supposed to take and which they don't agree with? Why doesn't Mec Vannin stand in many elections then? - ImpartialCelt 15:09, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * You have falsely stated that the artifacts campaigns are an issue of B. Moffatt's personally. You vandalised the correct statement, that he acts on requaets from the branches. If you ever manage to get anything factually correct, it will stay.

 * Your apparent dislike of the military monitoring is YOUR POINT OF VIEW. If you wish to express your point of view, make that clear.

 * It is not "my point of view", since I didn't write it in the first place. Nor that thing on Mec Vannin you called a "stupid comment". It is made clear that the military monitoring thing is a dislike of "some". It is also factual that it doesn't appear in the Celtic league's aims (read them if you don't believe me).

 * Mec Vannin's constitution states that it will contest elections. That policy has never been challenged. One individual in the party has refused to stand again after the law made candidates decalare themselves to be British if they were Manx. The oath is a concience issue and the party has never issued any position.

 * If this is the case, why don't quote the relevant section. When was the last time Mec Vannin did contest an election? Or got elected?

 * When your misinformation was removed, you tenaciously restored it.

 * Removing weblinks and actual quotations from people is misinformation. Why?

 * You have an agenda.

 * So do you. Wikipedia isn't meant to read like Pravda.

 * If you continue to make malicious accusatiuons of vandalism against the people who are attempting to maintain accurate and factual information, then do not be surprised when an official compalint of vandalism is made against you.

 * And as long as you keep vandalising pages, you'll find the vandalism disappears. Grow up.--ImpartialCelt 18:12, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
