Paul Durcan

Paul Durcan (born 16 October 1944) is a contemporary Irish poet.

Early life
Durcan was born and grew up in Dublin and in Turlough, County Mayo. His father, John, was a barrister and circuit court judge; father and son had a difficult and formal relationship. Durcan enjoyed a warmer and more natural relationship with his mother, Sheila MacBride Durcan, through whom he is a great-nephew of both Maud Gonne, the Irish social and political activist (and muse of W. B. Yeats), and John MacBride, one of the leaders of the Easter Rising, which began the Irish War of Independence leading to the foundation of the Irish state.

In the nineteen-seventies, he studied Archaeology and Medieval History at University College Cork. Earlier, in the nineteen-sixties, he studied at University College Dublin. While at college there, Durcan was kidnapped by his family and committed against his will to Saint John of God psychiatric Hospital in Dublin, and later to a Harley Street clinic where he was subjected to electric shock treatment and heavy dosages of barbiturates and Mandrax.

In 1966, Durcan moved to live in London, where he worked at the North Thames Gas Board. He met Nessa O'Neill in 1967; they married and had two daughters, Sarah and Siabhra. They lived in South Kensington, then moved to Cork where his wife taught in a prison. The marriage ended in early 1984.

Career
Durcan's main published collections include: A Snail in my Prime, Crazy About Women, Greetings to Our Friends in Brazil and Cries of an Irish Caveman. He appeared on the 1990 Van Morrison album Enlightenment, giving an idiosyncratic vocal performance on the song, "In The Days Before Rock'n'Roll", which he also co-wrote.

In 2003, he published a collection of his weekly addresses to the nation, Paul Durcan's Diary, on RTÉ Radio 1 programme Today with Pat Kenny. He got his inspiration from Paidraig Whitty, the local Wexford poet. He was shortlisted in 2005 for the Poetry Now Award for his collection, The Art of Life. In 2009, he was conferred with an honorary degree by Trinity College, Dublin. Durcan was the Ireland Fund Artist-in-Residence in the Celtic Studies Department of St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto in October 2009. In 2011 Durcan was conferred with an honorary doctorate from University College Dublin.

Between 2004–2007 Durcan was the third Ireland Professor of Poetry.

Durcan is a member of Aosdána.

A number of poems from Durcan's poetry career are studied by Irish students who take the Leaving Certificate.

Congo Jazz

Congo Jazz is a Looney Tunes cartoon starring Warner Bros.' first cartoon star, Bosko. The cartoon was released on August 9, 1930. It was distributed by Warner Bros. and The Vitaphone Corporation. Congo Jazz was the first cartoon to feature Bosko's falsetto voice that he would use for the bulk of the series' run (the previous Bosko short, Sinkin' in the Bathtub, had used a derisive African-American dialect). It has the earliest instance of a "trombone gobble" in animation.

Plot
As Bosko is hunting in the jungle, a tiger creeps up behind him and gives him a lick. Finding his gun useless, Bosko tries to flee. After being chased and having his body stretched and his head slapped off, Bosko pulls out a flute and begins playing music, which greatly entertains the tiger. Bosko and the tiger play patty cake, dance, and Bosko plays the tiger's whiskers and tail like guitar strings. Now that the tiger has been rendered thoroughly harmless, Bosko kicks it off a cliff. Bosko then spots two little monkeys playing leap frog. He picks one of them up, but the monkey spits in his eye. Bosko begins spanking the monkey's behind, until he notices the monkey's father looming above him. Acting nonchalant, Bosko offers the ape some chewing gum. The ape accepts, and seems to enjoy the gum very much. They both stretch the gum out of their mouths and begin plucking a tune. The rest of the jungle animals join in: monkeys, ostriches, kangaroos, and more. They play music on themselves, on each other, or with the jungle scenery. A kangaroo plays a tree, monkeys play a giraffe, and an elephant plays its trunk. A tree does a provocative fanny-slapping dance, gyrating its coconut bosoms, until one flies off and hits Bosko in the head. Bosko and three hyenas laugh.

Talk:Characters of The Adventures of Tintin

Zorino
the zorino entry makes it sound like he was forced to stay with the inca. is this the case??

 * Yes. He had seen too much. Jordi·✆ 02:19, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Muller and Wronzoff
In the Black Island, Wronzoff was the leader of the group of counterfeits, not Muller. I changed the word to member and added Wronzoff's entry. Red Star

Colonel Jorgen and Wolff's Past
In Wolff's confession in "Explorers on the Moon", it is never stated that Jorgen was the one who persecuted Wolff in the past on behalf of his creditors or the foreign power, or that they even knew one another before the actual moon rocket mission. Rather, it is more probable that Wolff was being contacted and extorted by other agents over the years, until the moon mission was already well underway. It also appears from what Wolff says that he and Jorgen met for the first time only when already on the way to the moon - when, shortly after waking from the departure from Earth, Wolff goes down to the hold to free Jorgen of his stowing place; Wolff says that up until that point he had thought Jorgen was nothing but a nosy journalist.

 * Yep, you are absolutely right. Besides, I don't know if the context of Wolf's betrayal (i.e. what he explains but is not really part of the main story) should be included here. I'll take the liberty to reword his entry a little bit. Glaurung 12:31, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Pictures
This page lacks something substantial, namely pictures of all the characters. I own all Tintin albums, so I can scan from them. abelson 17:46, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

That is a good idea. But that may make the page too large.

 * I think that it's a good idea too. If the page gets too big, we can take some of them out and just have a sample. --Apyule 01:30, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about the delay. Would scanning pictures of characters from Tintin and putting them in Wikipedia count as fair use? I guess it is, as long as I don't scan whole pages. abelson 12:56, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Pictures of characters are fine. Just say that you scanned them, and use the fair use template. --Apyule 01:24, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Moulinsart (the copyright owners of Tintin) are very restrictive about images of Tintin, so be careful. GurraJG 12:46, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree, please be careful about putting those pictures on this page. I am writing an entry on the Sanders-Hardiman Expedition Members. I expect it to be completed soon. [anon.]

I have scanned and added a couple of pictures of the most important minor characters. I think the practice of fair use applies to them. abelson 17:01, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Good. A picture Chang Chong-Chen would also be nice as he is a notable character.

Müller's clinic
It is stated in the article that Müller's clinic is in Scotland, but that is incorrect. The counterfeiting lab is there, but according to what I can infer from The black island, the clinic is in or near Eastdown, Sussex. (No such town exists, I gather.) 82.210.117.215 09:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Castafiore and Jewel's song
>> the only thing that Castafiore is ever heard to sing is the opening line of the Jewel Song, l'air des bijoux, from Faust, always at ear-splitting volume: "Ah my beauty past compare, these jewels bright I wear!"

Incorrect. In Page 28 of King Ottokar's Sceptre, while travelling with Tintin in the car, she sings the next line 'Was I ever Margarita ?'.

In Page 29, at night in the jail, Tintin hears her sing, after the first line, 'Was I ever Margarita ? Is it I ? Come reply ! Mirror, mirror, tell me truly !' Tintin 19:21, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Ah yes, you are right. I just checked in the original French edition. I changed the article text accordingly. --AlainV 23:56, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Alain, can you please take a look at the last section of Faust (opera) also. Tintin 01:14, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

OK, changed the Faust (opera) article too. --AlainV 01:28, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Page getting out of hand
Today, a paragraph on the Sanders-Hardiman Expedition members was added to the page. It was a very long summary of The Seven Crystal Balls and absolutely not adapted for this page. So I removed most of it to keep it short. But I'll take the opportunity to point out that this page is a little bit getting out of hand. It was primarily dedicated to secondary characters, but there is more and more insignificant characters that may not even be worth mentioning. (Or if it is, their entry should not be longer than a few sentences). for example, I am not really sure that we need entries for Bohlwinkel, Klumsi and Kronik, Puschov, Sanders-Hardiman Expedition Members, and Bobby Smiles.

Any thoughts? Glaurung 17:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, though adding one of my own favourite characters, Wang Yen-Chi.. I've begun trimming down various characters, adding to thinly described ones, as well as linkifying a number of names.Poulsen 14:17, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Pictures
I have added some pictures.Please try to collect all the pictuers of the character and add some more minor characters. Dwaipayanc 13 November,2005

Moving the page back to its original name
An admin is needed to move the bage Adventured of Tintin back to its original name : Minor characters in Tintin The name change was unecessary and the new title does not make sense. Apparently, User:Edbon3000 didn't see that the page Chiquito was redirected to Minor characters in Tintin. I have moved his entry on the Chiquito page. We just need to move back this page to its original location, but the software doesn't let me do it, probably because the target page already exists. Thanks. Glaurung 11:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile the page has been again renamed by someone else, so we have Minor characters in Tintin --> Adventured of Tintin --> Adventures of Tintin. We need to go back to the original name and delete the redirect page (maybe we could keep Adventures of Tintin but redirect it to The Adventures of Tintin Glaurung 08:29, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

A Big thank you to Poulsen and JoanneB for putting everything in order Glaurung 14:30, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Instead, state your case here. For some reading to start with, you may want to take a look at our non-free content criteria, and this page, which discusses their use in lists. J Milburn (talk) 17:50, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've already stated my case, but my argument skills are such that trying to reason with some people would require a solicitor. What exactly have you got against images that help to identify characters from a major comic series, especially since they are one-off images of individual characters, not the same one over and over again?--Marktreut (talk) 00:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * There was far too much fair use content in this article. Our non-free content criteria encourages us to use as few images as possible. It is enough that the individual articles have the images. Chillum  00:23, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Recent edits
This article contained massive amounts of speculation and re-telling of the stories, as well as style problems. It needed massive improvement and I've made a start. Reverting all attempts at improving an article is not acceptable. If anyone feels additional details about minor characters are massively needed for some reason, they can always be added in, but simply edit-warring will not get us anywhere. Mezigue (talk) 18:55, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Your edits do not seem to have consensus so more talk is required. First, we should start by establishing what, if anything, is the problem(s).  We can then explore improvements which will address these.  My impression is that we have three issues:

 * 1) The article is too long at 70K.  Per our editing policy, we might consider splitting it further.
 * 2) There are too few sources - less than the number of characters.  I have just added a couple of good citations and I'd expect there to be lots more out there.  Reference to these will inform our efforts.
 * 3) There seems to be insufficient consideration of translation issues.  In my experience, there's lots of wordplay in the French-language original texts and this is difficult to translate directly.  We should try to clarify which text we are referring to and bring out any differences in the various editions.

Colonel Warden (talk) 16:30, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * His edits have plenty of consensus per Wikipedia guidelines and policies. The clean up also stayed in place for two weeks before a single editor reverted it, and as this is a well watched article, that would indicate silent approval of the edits. There is absolutely no valid reason to keep such a massive amount of unsourced OR and plot summary in this list. Claiming that restoring the edits has anything to do with WP:PRESERVE is frankly BS. WP:PRESERVE does not declare that no content should ever be removed from articles. Nor should this list be split at all. It needs clean up, which was already done in an appropriate fashion. The only thing I would agree with is that it is still sadly lacking in reliable sources (not just any sources). However, before it can be sourced, clean up is necessary, which started with removing the excessive non-free images, and now has moved to actually cleaning up the excessive plot and OR, per actual applicable Wikipedia guidelines and policies, not a misapplied one. --  AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 18:20, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Silence may simply mean that editors are on leave, as I have been. Mezigue did not discuss his bold edits before making them and now that there is opposition from multiple editors, he should engage in discussion rather than edit warring per WP:BRD.  My preference is to improve the article by adding sources, as I have done, and see where they lead us.  Colonel Warden (talk) 18:49, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is a need to discuss before making improvements when the problem is style, OR and off-topic stuff on an article like this one which is a list rather than something more structured. I did not edit war against "multiple editors" as you state - I only reverted Marktreut's block reversion of everything I did twice, and frankly this is because Marktreut has a long habit of doing this sort of thing and in my experience plain refuses to listen to anyone and simply rejects Wikipedia's guidelines.  Regardless of your preferences, adding sources is certainly helpful when an article is lacking in sources, however when an article about characters is full of rambling retelling of plotlines and wonky grammar, the solution is to trim and copy-edit, not add sources.

Quemahoning Reservoir

The Quemahoning Reservoir, also known to locals as The Dam, is created by the Quemahoning Dam, located on Quemahoning Creek on the border of Quemahoning Township, Conemaugh Township, and Jenner Township in Somerset County, Pennsylvania just south of Hollsopple.

History and features
The dam was built by the Manufacturers Water Company to supply water for the Cambria Iron Company's works in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Construction began in 1910 and was completed in 1913, creating a reservoir that is roughly five miles long and two miles wide at its widest place, which drains into the Stonycreek River and thence into the Kiski-Conemaugh system.

The reservoir reportedly covers the American Indian village of Kickenapauling's Town, which was referred to in records of Christopher Gist, as well as in the 10 June 1779 deed of Joseph Johns, after whom Johnstown was named. It is one of the largest artificial bodies of water in Pennsylvania, and is known as a stopover for migratory waterfowl, including geese, swans, and herons.

In April 1917, a special police force was stationed at the Hickston Run and Quemahoning reservoirs as "a precaution against possible plots to cripple the great Cambria Steel Company's plant" during World War I, according to area newspapers.

The dam and reservoir were sold by Bethlehem Steel Corporation (successor to Cambria Iron) to the Cambria Somerset Authority in 2000, which now operates it both for recreation and industrial water supply.

The original sixty-six-inch pipeline built by Manufacturers Water Company from the reservoir to Johnstown was subsequently upgraded and refurbished after the sale to the Cambria Somerset Authority. Additionally, Somerset Borough, Pennsylvania has since commenced construction of a pipeline from the reservoir to the borough to provide potable water.

Recreational use
Fishing, boating, camping and occasional whitewater rafting are among the recreational activities available. Upgraded release valves in 2010 substantially increased discharges from the reservoir to improve whitewater rafting on the Stonycreek River.

Bethlehem Steel Corporation ran a gun club, a farm house and Bethco Pines, a recreational park for its staff. The park included boating, swimming and facilities which employed a number of people. The dissolution of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation in the 1990s caused the recreation areas and reservoir to be put up for sale, and was included in the sale to a coalition of local governments.

Summer's Best Two Weeks (SB2W) operates portions of the former Bethco Pines recreational park located on a section of the Reservoir. The Camp is affiliated with SB2W on Lake Gloria which is approximately 5 miles away from the one on the Quemahoning Reservoir. Summer's Best Two Weeks is a Christian sports resident camp that hosts hundreds of campers during the summer for two week intervals.

Håkan Hellström

Håkan Georg Hellström (born 2 April 1974) is a Swedish musician. He made his breakthrough in Sweden in 2000 with the song "Känn ingen sorg för mig Göteborg" and the album with the same name. He has released eleven studio albums to date with eight reaching number one on the Swedish Albums Chart, while Ett kolikbarns bekännelser reached number two.

Hellström played drums in the Swedish indie pop band Broder Daniel between 1988 and 1994, then briefly for Swedish alternative rock band Honey Is Cool with Karin Dreijer from The Knife and Fever Ray. In 1997 he rejoined Broder Daniel to play the bass, until 2003 when he left the band again to focus completely on his solo career.

In 2006, following the birth of his son, he announced that he would take a break from touring and recording. Despite this, he still performed occasional gigs and continues to release very successful albums.

On 5 June 2016, he performed a concert at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg that set a new attendance record of 70,144 people. In the summer of 2020, he was supposed to celebrate 20 years since his first album release, by having four concerts at Ullevi Stadium. All the concert were cancelled due to Covid-19. On 15 May 2020, Hellström released the album Rampljus Vol.1. The album peaked at number one on the Swedish Albums Chart, marking Hellström's ninth album to do so. Shortly after the release of Rampljus Vol.1, Hellström released the album Rampljus. The album contains the songs from the previous release and seven new songs.

Hellström is also known for the many complaints about his singing off key,  but some music critics have defended him, calling  his voice sensitive and strained, as well as unique and gripping.

Talk:Edward Bruce

Question deletion
Does the anonymous user have any reasons for their deletion of the bit about King Haakon? PatGallacher 22:05, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)

I don't know, I wrote most of this article (except for a few parts) and that surprised me too.

- It seems like most of this article has been redone and shortened signiicantly! Why?

- Edward Bruce as a High King of Ireland is extremely questionable.

Desperately Seeking Revision
This article is appalling. Hope my revised version (comeing up next) helps to elucidate its subject and the issues in his life, especially concerning Ireland. Fergananim 13:53, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Two comments on this illuminating article
Firstly, The statement in "Invitation to the Throne" that most of the Irish lords accepted Edward's claim to the high kingship contradicts the view of the BBC History website which states that most of the Irish lords did not support his claim.

Secondly, the statement in the "Historical aftermath" section that after 1607 all subsequent Irish nationalist leaders favoured an independent Irish republic is dubious, as I am unaware of any Irish nationalist leader, between 1607 and the late eighteenth century, who favoured a republic. It is more accurate to say that subsequent Irish nationalist leaders favoured Jacobitism until the late eighteenth century.

Dogtooth (talk) 20:01, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Life, Death, Marriage and Matters.
I have to say this page is a very poor contribution to the life of an important figure in the history of medieval Scotland and Ireland. The point about his marriage, to take one small example, is ludicrously funny, unintentionally so, I imagine. So, he 'may or may not' have been married prior to his death? From this I draw the inevitable inference that he could have been married after his death. On a more serious point, there is virtually no analysis of his military career-and political importance-in Scotland prior to his arrival in Ireland. I intend to rewrite the whole page, unless someone else beats me to it. Rcpaterson 23:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, I agree, the content on his supposed marriages is confused and apparently not based on good sources. I propose to reduce content about his family life to his one illegitimate son who I think is reasonably documented, can anyone improve this? PatGallacher (talk) 23:35, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

This page indicates that after his death, Edward was quartered and his body dispersed throughout Ireland with his head being sent to Edward II of England. Further along the page, it is noted that his body is buried in Faughart. Which is it? I have stood at that graveside; is he under that capstone or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jokersgiddygrin (talk • contribs) 18:37, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

His reign as King
Out of curiosity when he crowned himself High King of Ireland was he actually able to exert any real control over the country, like Brian Boru or was he just the last in a long line up of self declared High Kings who were never able to achieve any significant political or military power in Ireland?

Hugh O'Neill declared himself High King.

Irony
I think it would be a nice note to include in the article the irony of inviting Edward the Bruce to invade Ireland and attack the Anglo-Normans and then declaring him High-King of Ireland especially when he himself was of Norman descent. Essentially they just hope to replace the Anglo-Normans with a Scoto-Norman. Mabuska (talk) 22:15, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, Edward's maternal grandfather Niall was probably the daughter of Niall Ruadh Ó'Neill, brother of the king of Tir Eoghain and aspirant to the high-kingship. Aside from that, Edward was probably fostered among the Ó'Neill as a child, and his family, though of Norman origin in terms of agnatic prejudice, were highly Gaelicized. We have a fault of seeing families as only representative of the line of the father's father's father['s and so on], but biologically Edward had as much "blood" from Fergus of Galloway and Áed in Macáem Tóinlesc as from Robert I de Brus, all great-great-great grandfathers. Doesn't mean it went that way culturally, but it's something to ponder on. Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 21:40, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Infobox image
I believe that the image in the infobox should depict the subject of the article. This view stems at least partially from MOS:LEADIMAGE, which says: "Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic...." An image of a tombstone does not represent or specifically illustrate the topic because the topic is a person, not a grave or a death. And then: "Lead images are not required, and not having a lead image may be the best solution if there is no easy representation of the topic." But eh, the article has much bigger problems than this.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neo-luddism

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was - kept - SimonP 14:04, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Neo-luddism
Sloppily-written, irredemably POV. I know of no persons or organizations who identify themselves as "neo-Luddite" - this is just a smear term. An entry on List of political epithets should be sufficient. This article is just a rant against individuals and organizations that various contributors disagree with. Firebug 22:05, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. A Google search for "neo-luddite" yields 24,000 hits.  The term is in common usage in by some proponents; it's in the title of Theodore Roszak's "The Cult of Information: A Neo-Luddite Treatise on High Tech, Artificial Intelligence, and the True Art of Thinking" and is used frequently in the text of Kirkpatrick Sale's "Rebels Against the Future: The Luddites and Their War on the Industrial Revolution: Lessons for the Computer Age."  While the article may be sloppily written, the subject is encyclopedic and should be made to conform with NPOV by avenues other than deletion.  ElBenevolente 22:53, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. While vanishingly few people would claim themselves as 'neo-Luddite', it's reasonable enough to have a page discussing the concept and why some people are accused by their opponents of it. David | Talk 22:58, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Luddite, which already mentions this term. This list of purported neo-Luddite groups and activities is original research. —Wahoofive (talk) 23:57, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * P.S. the article's talk page has an extensive discussion of the relevance (or existence) of the topic —Wahoofive (talk) 00:01, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Important topic, and if it's POV, it can be fixed. People like Kass and Fukuyama may not refer to themselves as neo-Luddites, but I've heard them called such by people all over the political map. A и D я 01D  TALK  EMAIL  03:11, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * I sympathise with this view, but have you read the article? It's such a mess I doubt it's fixable. Full of statements like this: "Infoshop.org is one of a number of propaganda fronts which simultaneously promote luddism and deny that it is any sort of organized movement, much like how Sinn Fein denied for decades any connection to the IRA." And: "Both have labelled the philosophy of transhumanism as, "the world's most dangerous idea," despite the fact that no transhumanist has ever attacked or sabotaged anyone or anything, while so far, leftist neo-luddites do so as a matter of right[24] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeywrenching)." Can anyone seriously claim that this is NPOV? Firebug 03:28, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * No one needs to claim that inflammatory crap is NPOV. An NPOV article can be written about neo-luddism. Some of the information currently in the article is useful; there's no need to start from scratch. (Personally, I think the "prominent neo-luddites" section is useful, though I agree that sources are needed.) A и D я 01D  TALK  EMAIL  03:41, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless this article gets a complete NPOV rewrite sometime within the next few days. As written it's just plain propoganda and full of errors.  Kaibabsquirrel 03:52, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Luddite per Wahoofive, this could easily be covered there, and in a much better way. Prefixing "neo-" to an existing term doesn't really make it a new concept in any important way.  It's just a neology.  :D  -- Un  focused  05:00, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * No, the two concepts are separate. Luddites were English workers in the 1800s. Neo-luddism is a modern movement. I don't necessarily disagree that both things couldn't be covered in one article, but would you delete Neoclassicalism for the same reason? A и D я 01D  TALK  EMAIL  05:07, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * All right, you logic bombed me. Good shot.  Neoclassicalism is a distinct movement based on imitation of ideal archetypes.  But neo-luddites and luddites have the same underlying ideas and belief systems, so I don't think they're distinct enough for separate articles.  I ask myself, if I were reading the luddite article, would I want to know how these exact same principles apply in the modern world?  Yes.  If I were reading the neo-luddite article, would I want to know the origin of these beliefs?  Yes.  Is there too much content for one article?  No.  So redirect and merge what's salvagable from the "neo" version.  Re-read the neo-luddism article.  Is there any sentence that has it's meaning changed by removing the "neo-"?  I don't see any.  -- Un  focused  05:37, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Like I said, I don't necessarily disagree with you on the merge. I was just reacting to what seemed to me as a rather flippant dismissal of the article's subject just because it starts with neo-. A и D я 01D  TALK  EMAIL  05:49, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete POV rant. JamesBurns 05:20, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * keep: Fascinating subject of substantive, increasing importance. The intolerance demonstrated by attempts to stamp out such competing philosophies is hardly surprising, and smacks of censorship.  Ombudsman 06:05, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per ElBenevolente et al. Samaritan 12:15, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge the factual items from this article into articles on the persons or groups referenced, i.e. Earth Liberation Front, whose activities are extensively documented here, as well as articles on Kass, Fukuyama, Ehrlich, Capra, Meadows, etc. Then delete the neo-luddism article or redirect it to Anarcho-primitivism, and possibly transwiki a definition of neo-luddism in Wiktionary.  Problems as I see them with this article:
 * 1) The neo-luddism article is categorized under "social philosophy" but attempts to describe a specific political movement.  The social philosophy is well-treated under Anarcho-primitivism.
 * 2) The neo-luddism article presents facts and allegations about the separate actions and beliefs of individuals, groups, and organizations, but so far does not provide any specific evidence that these individuals, groups, and organizations are coordinated or related in any way in a single coherent "network" or "movement". Lukethelibrarian 18:34, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Topic with encyclopedic potential.Capitalistroadster 06:48, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. POVness can be fixed, it's not ground for deletion. Alfio 16:26, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. User:Firebug has engaged in a campaign of cyberstalking of me on wikipedia and is pursuing a political agenda. He may be a sockpuppet of User:Meelar. Deletion is a vote to suppress important information about a dangerous movement, its prominent sympathizers, members, etc and the groups involved. Supression of information for political purposes should not be what wikipedia is about.Mlorrey 18:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Neither should inclusion of information for political purposes. A vote for deletion is not necessarily a vote to suppress information; it may be a vote to preserve the purpose of Wikipedia.  The fact that you argue for keeping the article on the basis of the "dangerous" nature of the alleged movement instead of the encyclopedic nature of the subject suggests that if this article is kept, it is going to need ongoing attention and contributions from a wide variety of editors to eventually grow into an informative NPOV article (as suggested by a number of the "keep" votes above). Lukethelibrarian 19:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. While User:Mlorrey is apparently incapable of distinguishing NPOV from his own political agenda, Neo-luddism is an important movement especially as it has impacted the field of bioethics. Many important political movements of the past two decades have derived from Neo-luddite thought and whether or not you agree with those movements has no bearing on their importance.BrentN 01:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Distinct term. Madd4Max 12:28, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Valid term. Who is John Galt? 13:33, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This user's first and only Wikipedia edit Kaibabsquirrel 00:52, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages.  Please do not edit this page .

Gostun

Gostun was a regent over the Bulgars for 2 years.

Little else is known about him. It is possible that Gostun is an alternative name of Organa, who according to some Byzantine sources was a regent over the Bulgars until Kubrat's return from Constantinople and was also member of the Ermi clan.

Gostun Point on Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named after Gostun.

Stryi

Stryi (Стрий, ; Stryj) is a city in Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine. It is located in the left bank of the Stryi River, approximately 65 km south of Lviv in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. It serves as the administrative center of Stryi Raion within the oblast. Stryi also hosts the administration of Stryi urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Its population is approximately

Name
The city takes its name from that of the river Stryi, a tributary of the Dniester.

The river's name is very old and means "stream". Its etymology stems from the Indo-European root *sreu. The area was inhabited by the White Croats and it has been established that name Horvat (Croat) is likewise of Iranian (Sarmatian) origin.

In different times the name was written differently, and in various old documents we can find such names: Stryg, Stry, Stryj, Stryjn, Stryjia, Strig, Strigenses, Stryi, Strey, Striig, Strya, Sthryensis, Sthrya, Stryei, and Stri. The inhabitants take pride in the fact that the city has managed to keep its original name over time.

History
Stryi was mentioned for the first time in 1385 (see: Red Ruthenia). Its territory was annexed to Poland following their invasion and conquest of Galicia. In 1387 the Polish king Jogaila gave the city as the present to his pro-Tsarist brother Švitrigaila. In 1431 it was given the Magdeburg Rights, and it was located in the Ruthenian Voivodeship, which from the conquest in the 14th century until 1772 was a part of Poland. The city was governed by the local magistrate headed by a burgomaster. Following the Partitions of Poland the territory and all Galicia fell to the Austrian Empire.

Its geographical location had a positive influence on its development and growth. The city became a flourishing trade center being located on the major trade route between Halych and Lviv (Lemberg) and especially during the 15th to 16th centuries. It was destroyed during one of the Tatar raids in 1523. The city was later rebuilt and included a castle for defence purposes which later in the 18th century was dismantled by the Austrian authorities. In 1634 the city was destroyed once again by another Tatar raid. During the Khmelnytsky Uprising the Cossack Hetmanate army was reinforced by Hungarian regiments of Prince Rákóczi of Transylvania. After the partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1772 the city became a part of the Austrian Empire (see: Partitions of Poland). During the revolutionary times in the Empire a Ruthenian Council was created in the city in 1848. During 1872-1875 the city was connected to the Austro-Hungarian railroad network. Its first train station was built in 1875. Around this time industrialisation began. Among the most influentual citizens of the city were Doctor Yevhen Olesnytsky, Father Oleksa Bobykevych, and Father O.Nyzhankivsky.

In 1886 a large fire burnt almost the entire city to the ground. From October 1914 to May 1915 Stryi was occupied by the Russian Empire. In 1915 a bloody World War I battle took place in the nearby Carpathian Mountains, around the peak of Zwinin (992 metres above sea level), a few kilometres south of Stryi in which some 33,000 Imperial Russian soldiers perished.

On November 1, 1918, an armed uprising took place in the town, after which it became a part of the short-lived West Ukrainian People's Republic. Stryi was again annexed by Poland in May 1919 during another invasion. In 1939, following the Soviet Union's invasion of eastern Poland, Stryi became part of the Ukrainian SSR. (see: Polish September Campaign). In interbellum Poland, it was the capital of the Stryj County (area 2081 km², pop. 152,600) of the Stanisławów Voivodeship. According to the Polish census of 1931, its population consisted of 35.6% Jews, 34.5% Poles, 28% Ukrainians and 1.6% Germans. In July 1941, the Germans invaded all Galicia, including Stryi. In a short time, Ukrainians and local Poles conducted a pogrom in the Jews of the settlement, killing about 300 people. Between then and August, 1943, the Germans, with the assistance of the Ukrainian police, are said to have murdered most of the town's 11,000 Jews in a nearby forest or rounded them up to be sent to Belzec extermination camp. Of a pre-war population of 11,000, only a few Jews survived.

During the Cold War the town was home to Stryy Air Base.

Stryi was the first city in Ukraine to display the Ukrainian flag, when it was hoisted at the Stryi city hall on 14 March 1990, before the December 1991 implosion of the Soviet Union.

Recent history
On April 9, 2009, the Lviv Oblast council decided to remove a Soviet-era statue to the Red Army soldier that was installed by the local Communist regime in the city of Stryi and move it to a museum of the Soviet totalitarianism, saying that the statue carries no historical or cultural value to the city.

Until 18 July 2020, Stryi was incorporated as a city of oblast significance and served as the administrative center of Stryi Raion even though it did not belong to the raion. In July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven, the city of Stryi was merged into Stryi Raion.

Emerald Bay State Park

Emerald Bay State Park is a state park of California in the United States, centered on Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay, a National Natural Landmark. Park features include Eagle Falls and Vikingsholm, a 38-room mansion that is considered one of the finest examples of Scandinavian architecture in the United States. The architect was Leonard Palme, who was hired by his aunt Lora Josephine Knight to design and build Vikingsholm. The park contains the only island in Lake Tahoe, Fannette Island. The park is accessible by California State Route 89 near the southwest shore of the lake. Emerald Bay is one of Lake Tahoe's most photographed and popular locations.

In 1969 Emerald Bay was recognized as a National Natural Landmark by the federal Department of the Interior. In 1994 California State Parks included the surrounding water of the bay as a part of the park, making Emerald Bay one of the first underwater parks of its type in the state, protecting the various wrecks and other items on the bay's bottom.

The 1533 acre park was established in 1953. It is located directly south of D. L. Bliss State Park.

Summer temperatures at the park range from the low 40 F at night to mid-70 F during the day, and during the winter visitors will usually experience temperatures between 20 and 40 F. During harsh winters the bay freezes over. The bay is about 1.7 mi in length, and about two-thirds of a mile (1 km) wide at its widest point.

Capital Gay

Capital Gay was a weekly free gay newspaper published in London founded by Graham McKerrow and Michael Mason. Its first issue was published on 26 June 1981, during Pride Week; the paper folded with the issue dated 30 June 1995. Despite its name, it was also distributed in Brighton and had a combined circulation, in the two cities, of around 20,000 at the time when publication ceased. Initially priced at 20p, it became a freesheet after six months.

McKerrow and Mason met while working at Gay News and designed Capital Gay as a complementary publication. Compared with Gay News, which was fortnightly and had an 11-day lead time between print deadline and its availability, Capital Gay had a shorter production time of 24 hours, and came out more frequently, every week. The aim was to provide a news service for London and Brighton, particularly for users of the growing commercial lesbian and gay scene, to provide a link between the political movement and the commercial scene, and to facilitate swifter political responses by the LGBT movement than had previously been possible. The news pages covered politics and non-political news, while regular contributors provided comment and analysis.

Capital Gay sponsored the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard and involved itself in events in the wider gay community in London; its editorial line tended to be strong. It is credited by the Oxford English Dictionary with being the first publication in the world to use the term HIV (the second being the international science journal Nature); it also hosted the world's first regular column on AIDS, which was written by Julian Meldrum in 1984. For some years, with no reliable information on the threat of AIDS publicly available in the medical or national press, Capital Gay widened its distribution to cover cities with large gay populations including Manchester and Brighton. Copies were sent by rail and distributed to local clubs, bars and hotels by volunteers.

During the controversy over Section 28 in December 1987, the paper's offices were targeted in an arson attack. After being accused by Labour MP Tony Banks of legitimising the incident, Conservative Member of Parliament Dame Elaine Kellett-Bowman was quoted in Hansard as saying: "I am quite prepared to affirm that it is quite right that there should be an intolerance of evil."

NWA/WCW United States Tag Team Championship

The NWA United States Tag Team Championship was a professional wrestling tag team championship contested for previously in the United States-based Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) promotions, with the title now in current use by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). The title is only contestable by male tag teams and in tag team matches. In 1986, NWA President and JCP owner Jim Crockett, Jr. introduced the championship to replace and consolidate the old NWA Mid-Atlantic and Georgia National titles, under the name "NWA United States Tag Team Championship", by announcing a tournament for the newly created title, which was won by Krusher Khruschev and Ivan Koloff on September 28, 1986.

In 1988, Crockett sold JCP to Ted Turner, who established WCW as its successor; however, the title continued to be defended under the NWA name until January 1991, when the WCW owned and controlled titles were rebranded. The final champions under the NWA name were The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott). Following the rebranding, the title was referred to as the "WCW United States Tag Team Championship", though the belts retained the design with the NWA initials (and WCW itself would not leave the NWA permanently until September 1993). On July 31, 1992, WCW stripped the final champions, The Barbarian and Dick Slater, of their titles and retired the championship in order to put the focus on the WCW World Tag Team Championship.

NWA/WCW United States Tag Team Championship reigns are determined by professional wrestling matches, in which competitors are involved in scripted rivalries. These narratives create feuds between the various competitors, which cast them as villains and heroes. Overall, there are 19 reigns among 15 tag teams, all of which have occurred in the United States. From the information known, The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane)'s first reign is the longest in the title's history at 346 days, while The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers)' second reign is the shortest, at 19 days. The Midnight Express also holds the most reigns overall as a tag team and individually, with three.

Reigns
Over the championship's five-year history, there have been 19 reigns between 15 teams composed of 28 individual champions and three vacancies. Ivan Koloff and Krusher Khruschev were the inaugural champions, while The Barbarian and Dick Slater were the last ones. The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane) held the record for most reigns, both as a team and individually, at three. The Midnight Express' first reign is the longest at 346 days, while The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers)'s second reign was the shortest at 19 days.

Combined reigns
As of July 29, 2024.

Mokichi Saitō

Mokichi Saitō (斎藤 茂吉) was a Japanese poet of the Taishō period, a member of the Araragi school of tanka, and a psychiatrist.

Mokichi was born in the village of Kanakame, now part of Kaminoyama, Yamagata in 1882. He attended Tokyo Imperial University Medical School and, upon graduation in 1911, joined the staff of Sugamo Hospital (present-day Tokyo Metropolitan Matsuzawa Hospital) where he began his study of psychiatry. He later directed Aoyama Hospital, a psychiatric facility.

Mokichi studied tanka under Itō Sachio, a disciple of Masaoka Shiki and leader, after his master's death, of the Negishi Tanka Society; Sachio also edited the society's official journal Ashibi. This magazine, due to Sachio's increasing commitment to other literary activities, was subsequently replaced by Araragi in 1908. The publication in 1913 of Mokichi's first collection of tanka, Shakkō ("Red Light") was an immediate sensation with the broader public. The first edition collected the poet's work from the years 1905-1913 and included 50 tanka sequences (rensaku), with the autobiographical "My Mother is Dying" (死にたまふ母) being perhaps the most celebrated sequence in the book.

Mokichi's career as a poet spanned almost 50 years. At the time of his death at the age of 70, he had published seventeen poetry collections which include "14,200 or so poems," the collected works being overwhelmingly devoted to tanka. In 1950 he received the inaugural Yomiuri Prize for poetry. He received the Order of Culture in 1951.

Mokichi was the family doctor of author Ryūnosuke Akutagawa and may have unknowingly played an indirect role in the latter's suicide. He also wrote philological essays on waka of Kakinomoto no Hitomaro and of Minamoto no Sanetomo.

Ruscio, Umbria

Ruscio is a village of east central Umbria, a small Frazione ('Fraction') of Monteleone di Spoleto, located at 42°38N 12°58E in the upper valley of the Corno River at about 900 metres (2953 ft) above sea-level. It is 2 km SE of Monteleone and 11 km (7 mi) N of Leonessa. Its population is estimated at 200.

Monteleone di Spoleto is the village where a celebrated Etruscan chariot was found, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The village and its immediate vicinity also have several Romanesque churches, some Roman remains, and the Bronze Age site, apparently a religious sanctuary, of Forma Cavaliera.

Talk:Waterview Park

Discussion
UTD Student/Wiki reader here. I think this article should be merged with University_of_Texas_at_Dallas. No way does Waterview Park need its own article, plus it would be better to have a central place for information relating to UTD, housing, etc. 68.92.54.163 19:10, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Things to add
Here are some things I'd like to see added, but don't have specifics or supporting evidence off hand (and despite my personal hatred of Waterview, I want to follow Waterview's NPOV policy):
 * Sometime during the 2003--2004 school year the big screen TV from the Phase VIII club house was stolen
 * Sometime during the 2003--2004 school year the Phase VIII pool was filled with bubble bath
 * Waterview frequently schedules loud parties and events at Phase VIII during the week before final exams begin
 * Many apartments are infested with roaches (we find roaches crawling around in our silverware drawers, laying dead on our plates and in our cups, and crawling into our power outlets, dish washer, and sinks)
 * Waterview regularly reports they couldn't service apartments because their key didn't work (despite working fine when asked to demonstrate it) -- they've re-keyed our door once and made three copies of our door key in a year
 * The trash bins frequently overflow in all of the apartments
 * Rent is over $900/month for a two bedroom apartment, while comparable apartments in the area cost only $700/month
 * Waterview has raised rent every year for the past few years and expects to continue to do so
 * There's a police blotter that lists certain complaints the university's police respond to (but not all, for example they never mentioned the rape incident described by the Dallas Observer article)
 * Calling Waterview with questions about service frequently results in the excuse "they're out to lunch, we'll have them contact you when they get back" regardless the time of day.
 * Instead of spending money on repairmen and maintenance workers that actually do something, Waterview recently purchased several Playstation portables, games, and a library of DVDs for their residents to borrow
 * Waterview issues fines for things not included in your lease without warning
 * Everyone tries to put the blame on someone else who's conveniently unavailable
 * You need to raise at least two or three complaints before they actually respond to you
 * They didn't replace the lightbulb in our hallway for the first two months after we moved in (so we couldn't see our door at all at night) until we threatened legal action
 * Our dishwasher works awfully, and our washing machine was broken for the first three months we were there
 * UTD has an attorney that is free for counsel to students, but they're not allowed to ask about Waterview

That's all for now. 192.160.6.253 22:12, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree that this should be added to the main article. Some of these complaints are rather obvious and do not make Waterview a bad place to live.  For example, charging a high rent is their right.  Vandalism, such as theft of the TV or filling the pool with bubbles, is entirely out of their control too.  Most of your other complaints should be filed with www.waterviewsux.com.  --Cluster 22:02, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Poqueira

The Poqueira is a river in La Alpujarra region in the province of Granada, in Spain. It is formed by the confluence of streams that rise near the summit of Mulhacén, the highest peak of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The river cuts through a dramatic gorge, then joins the Río Trevélez shortly before flowing into the Río Guadalfeo.

Near the confluence there is a hydro-electric station, with the associated abandoned settlement of La Cebadilla, built to house the workers. At Pampaneira, near the bridge by which the main road from Órgiva and Lanjarón crosses the river, there is another hydro-electric installation, and just before the Poqueira river joins the Trevélez, at the narrowest point, there is a third - deep in the gorge and invisible from above.

High on the eastern side lie the villages of Capileira, Bubión and Pampaneira which have become noted touristic attractions: they are of Moorish origin, with narrow, winding streets, flat roofs, characteristic chimney-pots... On the hillsides the terraces created by the Moors can still be seen, though now they mostly lie uncultivated, and the channels also built by the Moors still bring water to the villages and terraces.

The higher part of the valley lies within the Sierra Nevada National Park, the lower part within a Natural Park; and the valley with its villages has been declared a "Conjunto Historico".

The Poqueira valley was the scene of the first major battle in the second "Morisco" rebellion, in January 1569. During the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39, the villages remained under Nationalist control, though Republican guerrilla fighters controlled the heights of the Sierra Nevada, and the frontier during most of the war lay just above the villages.
