A Face in the Crowd (film)

A Face in the Crowd is a 1957 American satirical drama film directed by Elia Kazan and starring Andy Griffith (in his film debut), Patricia Neal and Walter Matthau. The screenplay by Budd Schulberg is based on his short story "Your Arkansas Traveler", from the 1953 collection Some Faces in the Crowd.

The story centers on Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes, a drifter who is discovered by the producer (Neal) of a small-market radio program in rural northeast Arkansas. Rhodes ultimately rises to great fame and influence on national television. The character was inspired by Schulberg's acquaintance with Will Rogers Jr.. The successes of Arthur Godfrey and Tennessee Ernie Ford were also acknowledged in the screenplay.

The film launched Griffith into stardom, but got mixed reviews on its release. Subsequent reappraisals have been kinder to the movie. In 2008, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Plot
In late 1950s' America, radio journalist Marcia Jeffries encounters a drunken drifter, Larry Rhodes, while recording a segment at a rural Arkansas jail. She invites him to speak to the audience and sing while playing his guitar, and his raw voice, folksy humor and personal charm make him instantly popular. Marcia dubs him "Lonesome" Rhodes and fast-tracks him onto his own radio program.

Marcia enlists the support of the show's staff writer Mel Miller and witnesses the charismatic Rhodes ad-lib his way to Memphis-area popularity, effectively criticizing local politicians along the way.

When he pokes fun at his sponsor, a mattress company, it initially pulls its ads, but when his adoring audience revolts, burning mattresses in the street, the sponsor discovers that Rhodes's irreverent pitches actually increased sales by 55%, and Rhodes returns to the air with a new awareness of his persuasive power. He begins an affair with Marcia and proposes to her.

An ambitious office worker at the mattress company, Joey DePalma, puts together a deal for Rhodes to star in a new TV show in New York City. The sponsor is Vitajex, an energy supplement that Rhodes ingeniously reimagines as a yellow pill marketed as a male sex-drive enhancement product. As his fame, influence and ego increase, Rhodes is enlisted to improve the appeal of presidential hopeful Senator Worthington Fuller of California, and rebrands the stuffy conservative as an everyman with the folksy nickname "Curly".

In contrast to his friendly onscreen persona, Rhodes has privately become an egomaniac who berates his staff. Marcia's hopes of marrying Rhodes are dashed, first when a woman turns up claiming to be his legitimate wife, and then when he returns from alleged divorce proceedings in Mexico, newly married to 17-year-old drum majorette Betty Lou. Rhodes and Marcia enter into a profit-sharing agreement after she reminds him of her role in his success.

Ultimately, Rhodes's ascent into fame and arrogance begins to turn on him. Mel, who loves Marcia, leaves to write an exposé on Rhodes. Joey has an affair with Rhodes's young wife. Rhodes dumps her and sends her back to Arkansas, but can't get out of his business arrangement with Joey, as Joey reminded Rhodes that Joey owns 51% of the company.

When Rhodes is about to reveal his "Fighters for Fuller" plan, he visits Marcia at her apartment. While he gets comfortable in her bed, Marcia, having come to regret her role in making him famous, leaves in the rain. The next day, she activates a live microphone over the end credits of his TV show to reveal Rhodes contemptuously mocking Fuller and the station's "idiot" viewers. His popularity and the show's ratings plummet, his viewing audience turned their backs on him, and the advertisers cancel their sponsorships, as Rhodes descends in a metaphorical elevator down to the ground floor.

Rhodes returns to his penthouse, where he was scheduled to address the nation's business and political elite, only to find the room empty, except for his friend, Beanie, and a few servants, whom he dismisses when they don't respond to his demands. Having waited for Marcia to break free from Rhodes's spell, Mel returns to insist that Marcia tell Rhodes that she exposed his rant so she can never backslide to rehabilitating Rhodes. Rhodes discovers the truth during a phone call with Mel and Marcia and threatens suicide, but Marcia only goads him on. When the pair arrive at Rhodes's home, they find him speaking to the empty room, with an applause machine replacing the people whose support he lost. Marcia tells Rhodes that she was responsible for his open-microphone incident and demands that he never call her again.

Before they leave, Mel lays out a prediction of Rhodes's future: his career is not completely over, and he will likely find further TV work soon, but never again enjoy the same level of popularity and prestige. After leaving the building, Mel and Marcia hear Rhodes screaming from the penthouse for Marcia to return to him, but they ignore him as they depart. Marcia expresses guilt for having elevated Rhodes to power, and Mel replies that a faker like Rhodes may fool people for a while, but “we get wise to him―that’s our strength.”

Development
The film was produced under the working title of The Arkansas Traveler, which was the name of Budd Schulberg's source short story from his 1953 collection Some Faces in the Crowd. Schulberg had stated that a conversation with friend Will Rogers Jr., son of Will Rogers – who was known for earthy anecdotes and folksy style – had inspired him to create the Lonesome Rhodes story; the younger Rogers had stated that his "father was so full of shit, because he pretends he's just one of the people, just one of the guys."

Director Elia Kazan said that he and screenwriter Schulberg had based the character of Lonesome Rhodes on Arthur Godfrey, as well as Billy Graham and Huey Long.

Casting
Contemporary newspapers reported an early 1956 trip by Kazan to Sarasota, Florida, to confer with Schulberg. Late in April, columnist Walter Winchell wrote that Andy Griffith was due to leave the cast of his Broadway show, No Time for Sergeants, at the end of July, vacation for a month, and then begin shooting with Kazan. Kazan and Schulberg spent much of July and August 1956 in Memphis and in Arkansas, with Patricia Neal's involvement being announced by early August.

Griffith, Lee Remick, Charles Irving, Charles Nelson Reilly and uncredited actors Lois Nettleton and Rip Torn all made their film debuts in A Face in the Crowd.

In stage performance, Griffith noted, he would work gradually up to his most intense moments, but needed to conjure that up spontaneously when shooting such scenes for Kazan. In some instances, he asked to have a few discarded chairs available to destroy, in order to work up his rage before filming.

Big Jeff Bess, who portrayed the sheriff under his own name, was a country singer and bandleader in Nashville who led Big Jeff and his Radio Playboys. He was once married to Tootsie Bess, owner of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. Real-life personalities who make cameo appearances in the film include Walter Winchell and Mike Wallace.

Filming
Most of the film's interiors were shot in New York at the Biograph Studios in the Bronx. This was preceded by shooting in Memphis and Piggott, Arkansas, where Rhodes meets Betty Lou.

The most involved location shoot was in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, standing in for Piggott in the fair and baton-twirling competition scenes. Five thousand extras were sought, to be fed and paid $1 hourly for a mid-August day's work. Sixty baton twirlers and musicians from six different high school bands were rounded up from Arkansas and Missouri. Remick reported spending two weeks in Piggott living with teen twirler Amanda Robinson and her family, working on her twirling and local accent. Some of her baton-twirling scenes used a double. At the Piggott location shoot, some 380 dogs were assembled from Missouri and Arkansas for the scene following Rhodes's first mass-action call on his audience: to take their dogs to the home of a local sheriff who was running for higher office to find out if a candidate is worthy of the office of dog catcher.

Shooting in New York included 61 sets at Biograph Studios, as well as some exteriors. The scene of the network headquarters switchboard was NBC, 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Anthony Franciosa, eager to work with Kazan, had turned down a more lucrative offer to appear in MGM's The Vintage. Schulberg remained involved throughout: "I went on a trip in 1955 to scout a location in Arkansas, and I've been on the set every day since shooting started in August [1956]."

Critical reaction
The film received mostly positive reviews from contemporaneous critics, continuing this trend in later reviews.

Bosley Crowther of The New York Times applauded Griffith's performance, writing Griffith "plays him [Lonesome Rhodes] with thunderous vigor". However, Crowther felt that the character Lonesome Rhodes overshadowed the rest of the cast and the story, in which he wrote: "As a consequence, the dominance of the hero and his monstrous momentum ... eventually become a bit monotonous when they are not truly opposed." Harrison's Reports wrote: "On a whole, however, it is a fascinating picture, superbly directed and finely acted. Much credit for the film's impact is due [to] Andy Griffith, a newcomer to the screen, for his exceptional performance in the principal role. It is not a sympathetic part, but he plays it with explosive vigor and makes the characterization entirely believable. Worthy of special mention, too, is Patricia Neal for her fine portrayal" as Marcia Jeffries.

Hy Hollinger of Variety praised the film as "provocative and hard-hitting", summarizing that "Kazan once again demonstrates his ability as a director and why major studios are willing to give him carte blanche in selecting his own story material and working under his own conditions." Edwin Schallert of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Far and away outstanding in their stellar performances are Griffith, Miss Neal and Matthau, with Franciosa also very capable. They are nearly all at their peaks in their interpretations, even though the actual reading of lines is not too easy to understand at times. Schulberg has, however, written a splendid screenplay, and the picture is by far one of Kazan's most penetrating and incidentally ironic."

In his review for Cahiers du cinéma, François Truffaut, then a film critic, called it "a great and beautiful work whose importance transcends the dimensions of a cinema review". Karel Reisz, reviewing the film in Sight & Sound, critiqued more harshly, writing, "If we are to accept its attack on the jungle values of American sponsored television then we must be able to sense a more decent, rational tone in the film which is attacking them. And this becomes more and more difficult as the film goes on. When it comes to the test Kazan and Schulberg seem to have little more respect for their audience than the [t]elevision showmen. Dramatic scenes are all played at full blast, while the more intimate scenes are slurred over."

In a 2015 interview, filmmaker Spike Lee credited the film with inspiring his film Bamboozled. Writing in The Washington Post in 2020, Ann Hornaday ranked it at number 14 of her list of the best political movies.

Musical
A stage musical play version is under production and scheduled to start performances September 10, 2024 until November 9 of the same year. The official opening is expected on September 17. It will have music by Elvis Costello, book by Sarah Ruhl and direction by Kwame Kwei-Armah. The cast will by led by Ramin Karimloo as Lonesone Rhodes and Anoushka Lucas as Marcia Jeffries.

MUD2

MUD2 is the successor of MUD1, Richard Bartle's pioneering Multi-User Dungeon. MUD2 is not a sequel to MUD1, instead being a heavily updated version of MUD1 (MUD1 is officially version 3 of the codebase, MUD2 is version 4) - with the engine being implemented in C, featuring significantly more content than MUD1, and uses a flexible object-oriented scripting language (MUDDLE) to define content as opposed to MUD1's 'glorified table lookup system' (MUDDL).

The game is nominally a roleplaying game, with a very strict set of rules, character classes and levels. Characters progress up a ladder of 11 levels until they reach the traditional MUD goal of wiz (wizard or witch).

Characters move between locations, or game rooms, using compass directions, and basic commands such as,  ,. Points are scored by dropping treasure in the room known as the swamp, performing certain actions, killing an NPC, or killing another player. The game also includes magical powers, which are gained through a mystical artifact known as The Touchstone. The small side effect of this is that touching the Touchstone may kill you, with the likelihood of death decreasing as you get higher in level - but death is always possible. In order to make Wiz, one must also complete seven of eight tasks (in addition to reaching the point threshold and surviving the touchstone). Wizzes are effectively granted limitless power over the world itself, with powers including the ability to add more content to the world (areas, mobiles, items, etc), freely manipulate objects in the world (including the personae of logged-in players), and can freely destroy anything (or anyone!) if they so desire - of course, this does come with the responsibility to use one's acquired Wizdom to assist with managing the game.

Just like its predecessor, MUD2 features permadeath, with one's persona being deleted if killed in combat (whether by a mobile or another player) - however, most environmental deaths (besides some such as the aforementioned Touchstone) merely cause one's persona to lose points and return the player to the title screen. If one wishes to play without being killed by other players, it's possible for one to make their persona a 'Protected Persona' (PP) by using the  command in the tearoom (the starting room). However, Protected Personae cannot obtain Wizdom, can still be killed by anything besides a player, and un-protecting a PP (willingly via  in the tearoom, or automatically upon reaching 102,400 points) costs 2/3 of one's points.

The game's levels are laid out as follows:

It is generally acknowledged that the biggest challenge in the game is other players, and highly skilled players that have made wiz will actively test "mortal" players to ensure they have the required level of skill to complete, and then manage the game.

Much of MUD2's long-running appeal comes from its much-celebrated depth, and its wide-ranging gameplay, as it contains large elements of puzzle-solving and exploration, as well as elements of skill, chance, and humour.

Talk:Game (hunting)

For food or sport?
Game is hunted for food? Not for sport? (The name game seems itself to imply sport.) Laurel Bush 11:01, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC).
 * Of course some game is hunted for sport, including by paying customers who may not intend to eat their quarry.MikeHobday 22:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Cooking
We may globalise game cooking:

1) never do game cooking at low temperature:

Hunting is an outdoor activity. Therefore preparing the game ( to gut...)is done in a none sterile environment. If the game is cooked at a low temperature, you will create ideal conditions for bacillus to kill your game a second time.

2) Ensure the hunter has cooled down the game to 4° as soon as possible.

3) The cut will roast well if the game has been stored at 4° for at least 2 days plus 1/2 day for each year of age

4) Never cook game at temperatures lower than 180°.

5) Even 14 years old deer, treated as described above, will be tender.

6) Never marinate other game than hare. Marinating game is a relict of ancient times when fridgerators had not yet been invented.

7) do your first game as simple as possible: salt & peppers only. Use sweet molasses (roe, deer & wild boar) or orange juice(fowl) to flavour the sauce.

8) Believe in the experience of a chef with huge hunting experience

united kingdom quarry
it should be noted that things like large non birds of prey and rodents (ie pigeons, doves, crows, magpies, jays, jackdaws, grey squirrels, rats, rabbits, mice etc) are deemed "quarry" in the UK. that means you can legally hunt them at all times of the year, if authorized, because those species breed in large enough numbers. one could even use the term "vermin".81.159.158.247 (talk) 15:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Different parts of the article seem to be about equally divided as to whether "game bird" (as I would spell it, but I'm not into hunting) is one word or two. It should be made consistent, and if it is made two words and the date is before October 24, 2015, then Template:POTD/2015-10-24 should be edited to match. --174.88.134.156 (talk) 04:40, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Equal Vision Records

Equal Vision Records is an independent record label based in Albany, New York. It was founded in the early 1990s by Ray Cappo, singer for the punk bands Youth of Today, Shelter, and Better Than a Thousand.

The label originally existed solely to distribute Shelter and other Krishna releases. In 1992, label manager Steve Reddy bought Equal Vision from Cappo. The focus was expanded and a wider variety of bands were brought on board. According to Punk News, the mid-to-late '90s saw a redoubling of the Equal Vision's hardcore efforts with such signings as One King Down and Ten Yard Fight. By the end of the '90s Equal Vision Records (EVR) had a stable of hardcore and punk bands, having added Bane, Trial, Converge and Saves the Day to its roster in the latter part of the decade.

Sublabels and distribution
In July 2009 EVR created a sub-label named Mantralogy. This sub-label will feature bands that "deliver edgy, Krishna-conscious music."

In 2012 EVR artist Max Bemis (of Say Anything) created an imprint label named Rory Records, distributed by EVR. On June 19, it was announced that Equal Vision Records and Casey Crescenzo of the Dear Hunter would be forming a partnership. Casey has been given his own imprint label: Cave & Canary Goods.

EVR switched back its distribution of physical and digital releases in the US to RED Distribution since January 23, 2012, after many years with Alternative Distribution Alliance. In May 2013, EVR inked a partnership with UNFD to manufacture, promote and distribute EVR releases in Australia and New Zealand. Prior to the partnership, EVR has shared several artists with UNFD for distribution in both coverages, such as Say Anything, We Came as Romans and House vs. Hurricane.

Velocity Records was originally established in 2009 as a subsidiary of Rise Records. It was relaunched in 2016 as a partner of Equal Vision Records.

Mazinaw Lake

Lake Mazinaw is a lake in the Addington Highlands north of Kaladar in Eastern Ontario. The lake is situated on the upper Mississippi River. It has a perimeter of 49 km and averages 41 m in depth with a maximum depth of 145 m, making it the seventh-deepest lake in Ontario, including the Great Lakes. There is a narrows which divides the lake into two sections: South Mazinaw, and North Mazinaw, with North Mazinaw being larger and deeper.

Bon Echo Provincial Park encompasses the central section of the lake, including the narrows between North and South Mazinaw and the Bon Echo Rock formation attracts rock climbers from all over the world. The lake's name comes from Mazinaabikinigan-zaaga'igan, meaning "painted-image lake" in Algonkian, referring to the pictographs on Bon Echo which overlooks the lake. Bon Echo rock, located on the eastern side of North Mazinaw, features over 260 native pictographs- often confused with petroglyphs – the largest visible collection in Canada - including the Ojibwa trickster figure and culture hero, Nanabush. The Rabbit man is the most famous pictograph visible today.

The rock also contains a tribute to Walt Whitman, inscribed by Horace Traubel And Flora MacDonald Denison, who ran the Bon Echo Inn on the site of the provincial park during the 1910s. The inscription reads “my foothold is tenon’d and mortised in granite, I laugh at what you call dissolution and I know the amplitude of time.”

A dam is located at the outflow of the lake to maintain the level of the lake and to control water flow into the Mississippi River during the spring runoff time.

Peregrine Falcons have been reintroduced to the area- nesting on top of Bon Echo Rock. Mink can be spotted along the northern shores of the lake. Loons are native to the area and can be heard calling throughout the lake.

Filipendula

Filipendula is a genus of 12 species of perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Well-known species include meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) and dropwort (Filipendula vulgaris), both native to Europe, and queen-of-the-forest (Filipendula occidentalis) and queen-of-the-prairie (Filipendula rubra), native to North America.

The species grow to between 0.5–2 m tall, with large inflorescences of small five-petalled flowers, creamy-white to pink-tinged in most species, dark pink in F. rubra. Filipendula fruit are unusual, sometimes described as an indehiscent follicle, or as an achene.

Filipendula species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species: emperor moth, grey pug, grizzled skipper, Hebrew character, lime-speck pug, mottled beauty and the satellite have all been recorded on meadowsweet.

The species were in the past sometimes treated in a broad view of the genus Spiraea, but genetic research has shown that they are less closely related than previously considered.

The genus name Filipendula derives from the Latin words filum "thread" and pendulus "hanging", referring to the tubers of F. vulgaris, which are attached to one other by thread-like roots.

Talk:Nippo Jisho

Article (and book) title
I'm puzzled by the title of the article. That Dictionary is capitalized suggests it's the title of the book, rather than a description of it. But has it appeared in English translation? I doubt it. Indeed, it's almost unimaginable. If that's so, the English title is newly invented; why choose this for the article title?

In "Vocabvlario da Lingoa de Iapam" within the article, the old v-form graph of the grapheme "u" seems to have been taken as the grapheme "v". I tentatively suggest "Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam" as the title of the book and of the article about it. (Tentatively, because offhand I don't know about the "I"/"J" distinction in Portuguese of that time, or indeed about diacritics, etc.) -- Hoary 11:07, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)

 * Changing the article title to put the "d" in lowercase sounds reasonable. Fg2 13:24, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * There is no English translation. The book has a Japanese title, "Nippo jisho" (日葡辞書）which simply means "Japanese-Portuguese Dictionary," and a Portuguese title, "VOCABVLARIO DA LINGOA DE IAPAM com adeclaração em Portugues, feito por ALGUNS PADRES, E IR.mãos companhia DE IESV" (the use of CAPS mimics the use of caps on the original printed versions) which means, "Vocabulary of the language of Japan with definitions in Portuguese, done by certain fathers and brothers of the of the Company of Jesus. Jb05-rsh 22:43, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually I suggest this article be moved to a site named "Nippo jisho" which is shorter, and a more common name for the book used by people who are studying Japanese. Searches for "Japanese-Portuguese Dictionary of 1603" or for "VOCABVLARIO DA LINGOA DE IAPAM" should be directed to "Nippo jisho" Jb05-rsh 22:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It's very hard to see why an English name like this should be redirected to a Japanese name. Are you going to redirect everything to a Japanese name? For example do you want to rename "English language" to "Eigo" because that is the name used in Japan? English Wikipedia is an English language encyclopedia, and the dictionary was originally published under a Portuguese title, so using the Japanese title is difficult to justify. Certainly the above point about "Dictionary" is valid, it should say "dictionary". --DannyWilde 23:24, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Let me change the tact of my argument; copies of the book that exist in libraries in the United States, inlcuding the Library of Congress, are listed as "Nippo jisho". If anyone wants to find the book it is necessary to know the title by which it is listed in libraries. How about references to the book which contain a link to the article mention BOTH titles?  Afterall, it has two titles, and the Japanese is the title used for listings in library catalogs, and the Portuguese is the title of the printed object. Would you agree to that? Jb05-rsh 23:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

The following is a copy of private discussion about the article title
Considering the dictionary was published under the Portuguese title, it doesn't make sense to move it to the Japanese name. If it was going to be moved anywhere, the Portuguese name was the obvious candidate. --DannyWilde 23:09, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The Library of Congress and most other libraries in the USA use the Japanese title. Assuming anyone actually wanted to find a copy of the book, one would NOT find it by searching for the Portuguese title. Jb05-rsh 23:12, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I do not mind you mind you changing the links in articles to "Vocabulario de Lingoa de Iapam." However, since anyone who would want to find the book needs to know the Japanese title, how about references to the book which contain a link to the article mention BOTH titles? Afterall, it has both titles, and the Japanese is the title used for listings in library catalogs, and the Portuguese is the title of the printed object. Would you agree to that? Jb05-rsh 23:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your insight into this. If this is the recognized name in English, then it is certainly OK to change the article into that title. I thought that you were changing it into that title because it represented the Japanese, rather than the English, name, but clearly you know more about the correct title in English than I do. Excuse me for raising this objection. Let's use "Nippo jisho" for the title. --DannyWilde 23:38, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I tried to move it back, but I couldn't move over the redirect page. To move it to "Nippo jisho" you'll need to ask an admin. In the meantime, I have moved it to "Nippo Jisho" with a capital J. --DannyWilde 23:48, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I suppose that is OK. Wikipedia is case sensitive so if both titles exist, one will redirect to the other. On a certain note the Libray of Congress guidlines on Japanese titles state that proper nouns like "Nippo" which means "Japan and Portugal" should be capitalized, but that nouns like "jisho" which means Dictionary should be uncapitalized.  But I am not picky, as long as people can find the article and the book. Jb05-rsh 00:06, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * No, Wikipedia does not do that automatically. The redirect from Nippo jisho to Nippo Jisho was one I made manually. If you think that "Nippo jisho" is the correct name, we'll have to ask an admin to move it, because the move function won't allow it. By the way, let's copy this discussion onto the talk page of Nippo Jisho, so people can see the reason for the move of the page name. --DannyWilde 00:32, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Spelling
We should use the original spelling. I guess the book has xi instead of shi and the like.

Since the whole issue of spelling was so complicated, I decided to add more examples which clearly distinguished the difference between the jisho's spelling and modern romanization. that both systems are used togethor, and you know which is from the jisho and which is modern. That way I think readers get the idea of how the differences in spelling may have actually reflected differences in pronunciation, without making any hard claims that we can't immediately back up. Jb05-rsh 19:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation
We read: "...the pronunciations nihon (which would have been pronounced nifon)...."

Unfortunately I know next to nothing about the past pronunciation of Japanese. I do know something of how it's pronounced now. If I didn't even know that, and were a monoglot anglophone, I'd infer that this was the labiodental [f] (as in English). But since I do know a little bit more, I guess it's bilabial [Φ] instead. Well, I dunno -- what is it? For explaining pronunciation, I suggest IPA (with explanations where appropriate) rather than ghastly modified (extended, etc.) Hepburn. -- Hoary 10:16, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Shimo
Does "shimo" mean "Kyushu"? I'd be surprised, but willing to believe it given appropriate references. I always thought that "kami" meant "Kyoto" (or in a broader sense "Kansai") and "shimo" meant the rest of the country, including not only Kyushu but also Kanto, Hokuriku, Chugoku, Shikoku and so forth. If I'm wrong about this, I'd like to know more. Fg2 07:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Technically, it does not specify Kyūshū. There are four entries for "ximo". The one relavent here says (personal translation) "lower portion; also, those islands. in other words, the lower islands". The original text is "estas ilhas". This entry is thought to reflect upon the fact that the text was edited in Nagasaki. For other references, Daijirin (大辞林) has (personal translation) "(3.2) As opposed to the Kinki region, the western lands Chūgoku, Shikoku, and Kyūshū", and Kōjien (広辞苑) has "(7) Land away from the capital; especially Kyūshū, Chūgoku, and Shikoku. Country". I would not include Hokuriku or Kantō in the meaning. Bendono 07:34, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Does it contain Kanji or Kana?
I presume the original copies of the book had been printed (on a European printing press), not written. Which probably means they didn't contain any Kanji or Kana, only Romanizations (unless the Jesuits had equipment+time+skill to make their own types, which I doubt). Is that assumption correct? If so, it deserves being mentioned in the article. Catskineater (talk) 18:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. VfD debate closing, RC Patrol and New Pages Patrol are the chores I intend to participate most in. I have done a bit of all three, even closing VfD debates where a keep, merge or redirect result is undisputed, but since I have not been an administrator I have stayed away from the debates where a result hangs in the balance. Especially NPP can be done more effectively with the mop. For instance, without the mop I have occasionally inadvertantly recreated articles while tagging them for deletion.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I have thoroughly enjoyed creating articles related to chess openings. When I started here the chess opening article was in need of some overhaul. Through the cooperative work by myself and User:Neilc it became a reasonably good and tidy article. (User:Quale then made it into a really good article.) Much of this cleanup work consisted of splitting out individual chess openings to there own articles, and several of the articles in Category:Chess openings were made by me. I have no particular favorite among them, although Queen's Gambit Accepted made it to the main page on the "Did you know?" template. Sorry, but none of this is featured.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
 * A. Well... when Ferkelparade nominated the TCS Victory article I created as an newbie anon, it was quite stressing... But I think that was a blessing in disguise (well for me at least) because without that nomination, I would never have been introduced to the inner workings of Wikipedia. I probably would have created that one article and left!
 * Joke aside, the most stressed I have been with another user was with User:Eyesopen at a VfD debate. What I did then was give a firm message on his talkpage, make a personal log of the incident in case it became needed later, and inform some of the other users who have dealt with him (I informed two of the Jehovah's Witnesses contributors as late as yesterday, June 9). At present, I cannot say for sure whether or not that will turn into an RfC, but I hope it won't.
 * In general I think it is worth going to great lengths to avoid filing RFCs against other users, and when due, this includes saying nice things about and to the user one is having a dispute with! I have seen, and participated in, a few RFCs and only once can I say that the outcome of it was happy. Sometimes RFCs are a neccesary evil, but they cause a load of distress.
 * I haven't been in any major edit conflicts over articles, but then again the main subject I like working is chess, and this is fairly uncontroversial and I have been blessed with having very good and pleasant-to-work-with co-contributors on these articles.

User:Salt In The Wound

Salt In The Wound is the internet monicker of myself, Randy Miller. It is taken from a phrase meant to describe adding insult to injury. I had originally chose the name Salt In The Wound because I thought that it would make a good name for a band, though later I discovered that a band had already taken the name, Salt In The Wound still managed to stick as my nickname.

Interests
From a young age, I have always had an interest in video games. My favorite video game genres include RPGs and Action-Adventure, with my three favorite video game franchises being The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Mega Man.

I have a very strong interest in and love of music. I enjoy listening to Rock and Metal, with an occasional taste for Classical music. I have a particular taste for Progressive metal and Power metal.

"My SAT prep teacher always used to say 'exacerbate', like salt in the wound. I never quite got it. Until now." - Charagon

Talk:Highland Land League

Crofter MPs
I believe five Crofter MPs were elcted in 1886. At present the article names four, and their constituncies. I am pretty sure the fifth was not elected from Sutherlandshire. Might have been the Northern Burghs constituency. Laurel Bush 11:16, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC).

 * Sutherlandshire (Angus Sutherland) did return a Crofter MP in 1886.

Centrality to Highland History
i think that this group was instrumental in getting a fairer deal for ordinary people in the north of Scotland, and can be seen as a distant ancestor of the Scottish devolution movement, and indirectly the SNP, and the Labour party in certain parts of northern Scotland. The page probably needs a lot more referencing.--MacRusgail (talk) 18:06, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

The Sutherland Association
There is a reference on the net to a cairn erected at Gartymore on the croft of John Fraser, a leading light of the land reform movement, the first branch of the Sutherland association, the parent of the Highland Land League. These men by their efforts succeeded in the Highland Land League.

There are several references to the Sutherland Association. One was it was estd abt 1865 (39th Anniversary of the association was in 1904). Another is that the foundation of the Sutherland Association in 1882 was a curtain-raiser to ... and the Sutherland Association and the Highland Land Law Reform Association ...BeckenhamBear (talk) 09:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Assessment comment
Substituted at 17:54, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You have to remember that assessments are to allow Wikiprojects to set a priority for Wikipedians to work on, they're not really about the "lingering historical importance" of the subject of the article. And normally an article that was only getting ~10 views per day would be a low priority compared to the many other articles competing for a limited resource of editor attention. Tops are really rare, they're eg less than 0.1% of all Scotland articles, they are generally the big "overview" articles like Politics of Scotland. You have to be really careful setting Wikiproject priorities on what our readers want rather than according to some personal political agenda. FlagSteward (talk) 17:31, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Lucchese crime family

2018
What is the current status of the Lucchese family? like is it more powerful these days or not as powerful? --110.22.50.32 (talk) 08:49, 19 August 2018 (UTC)110.22.50.32--

 * The Lucchese family was getting more stabile and rebuilding after the early 1990s, when Anthony Casso and Vic Amuso nearly destroy the crime family and multiple members became informants. Since the early 2000's under Madonna's, Crea's and DiNapoli's leadership the family began to slowly rebuild. This was slowed down with the recent indictment in 2017 taking the entire admiration off the streets. The family is still heavily involved in construction racketeering. The Lucchese crime family leaders have been doing better. --Vic49 (talk)  15:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the info I have watched a documentary or two regarding them.--110.22.50.32 (talk) 07:32, 20 August 2018 (UTC)110.22.50.32--

Government informants and witnesses
The Government informants and witnesses section should go back to a list per WP:SIZE for this article. Each informant has there own article or is mentioned in List of past Lucchese crime family mobsters with references. --Vic49 (talk)  17:36, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Slotsholmen

Slotsholmen (English: The Castle Islet) is an island in the harbour of Copenhagen, Denmark, and part of Copenhagen Inner City. The name is taken from the successive castles and palaces located on the island since Bishop Absalon constructed the city's first castle on the island in 1167 at the site where Christiansborg Palace lies today.

Recognised as the centre of the Government of Denmark since the Middle Ages, the island is sometimes referred to as 'the Island of Power' (Magtens Ø), and is lined with central government institutions and ministries; the name Slotsholmen is thus also frequently used as a metonym for overall Danish governmental administration.

The island is dominated by the vast Christiansborg Palace which houses the Danish Parliament, the Supreme Court of Denmark, the Prime Minister's Office and the State Rooms of the King. Also located on the island are the most important ministries, the Danish National Archives, the Royal Danish Library, several museums and the historic buildings of the Christian IV's Stock Exchange, the Chancellery and Christian IV's Brewhouse.

History
The site used to consist of several small natural islands in the sound between the islands of Zealand and Amager. On the largest of these, Strandholmen (English: Beach Islet), Bishop Absalon of Roskilde constructed a small castle in 1167. In 1250 the castle was extended with two side towers to get the appearance that is now depicted on Copenhagen's Coat of Arms. The castle was conquered by the Hanseatic League 1368 and pulled down the following year as part of peace terms. Shortly after Copenhagen Castle was built on the same site and it became the residence for the Danish king in 1443.

After the 1535-36 siege of Copenhagen during the Count's Feud, it became clear that the castle was outdated as a military installation, and King Christian III transformed the castle from a military stronghold to a more liveable royal residence. However, the reconstruction took place in a rather haphazard way and continued during the reign of the following kings, resulting in a rather irregular appearance of the castle.

At the same time, it became clear that the castle was becoming too small to hold the functions necessary in order to function as a royal residence and seat of the administration so a series of smaller buildings began to be erected on Slotsholmen. Probably during the reign of Christian III a building was constructed on the quay of the canal in front of the castle to house the Chancellery. During the reign of Christian III and Frederick II an arsenal was constructed by the beach south of the castle, and during the reign of Frederick II probably also a supply depot.

Under King Christian IV Slotsholmen saw considerable development, especially in the southern part of the island. Here a new naval harbour was established, surrounded on one side by an Arsenal and on the other side by a Supply Depot. Other new buildings constructed were the Stock Exchange and the Brewhouse. All four of these historic buildings are still there today.

By the time of the introduction of the absolute monarchy in 1660, the role of Slotsholmen as the centre of administration was firmly established.

During the reign of King Frederick III, further lack of space in the castle led to the construction in 1665-1673 of an additional building between the Supply Depot and the Arsenal. This building, also still visible today, was to house the Cabinet of curiosities of the king, founded about 1650, and the Royal Library, founded in 1648.

During the reign of King Frederick IV, a magnificent administration building was constructed in 1716-21 next to the palace adjacent to the Supply Depot. This new building was to house the chancelleries, thus replacing the previous chancellery building situated by the canal. The new chancellery building was connected to the castle by an arched passageway, thus allowing the king to stay in close contact with his government. The Chancellery Building (also known as the Red Building or the Building of Colleges) has functioned as the heart of the central administration for almost 300 years, and is today used by the Ministry of Finance.

In spite of many attempts and projects to replace the small and antiquated castle with a more up-to-date royal residence fit for an absolute king, the old castle continued to exist well into the 18th century. Several renovations were made, most notably by Frederick IV in 1721-29. This rebuilding thoroughly changed the irregular appearance of the castle to a more regular shape.

However, just two years after the rebuilding was completed, the Copenhagen Castle was demolished in 1731 to give room for three consecutive Christiansborg Palaces, the two first of which were destroyed by fires (in 1794 and 1884). Parts of the first and second Christianborg Palace still remain and is integrated in the present palace. The ruins of Absalon's Castle and the Copenhagen Castle are excavated and at display today under the present Christiansborg.

Bridges
Slotsholmen is surrounded partly by Copenhagen's Inner Harbour, partly by canals. Nine bridges connect Slotsholmen to the rest of Copenhagen, both Zealand-side and Amager-side.

Knippelsbro
Knippelsbro is a bascule bridge and one of several bridges over Copenhagen's Inner Harbour; others being Langebro, Lille Langebro, Bryggebroen and Copenhagen's Inner Harbour Bridge. It connects Slotsholmen to Christianshavn by extending Børsgade to Torvegade.

Marmorbroen
Marmorbroen (English: The Marble Bridge) connects Christiansborg Riding Ground Complex to Ny Vestergade that continues to Dantes Plads with the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The bridge was constructed from 1739-45. It has a sandstone cladding with medallion ornamentation on the sides while the top is covered with marble.

Stormbroen
Stormbroen (English: The Assault Bridge) is a small arch bridge in stone, connecting Stormgade (towards The City Hall Square) with Vindebrogade on Slotsholmen.

The bridge is named after the Assault on Copenhagen in 1659. It was at this very spot, where the city ramparts at that time was located, that the Swedish troops made their principal attack. After a series of defeats, the Danish troops finally gained victory, the Swedish troops leaving 2,000 dead soldiers in front of the ramparts at Stormgade.

Various sources state that the bridge was erected in 1681 but on the side the inscription "erected in MDCLX is carved into its stone foundation. The bridge was renovated by Martin Nyrop in 1918.

Højbro
Højbro (English: High Bridge) is an arch bridge in wrought iron, connecting Højbro Square with Slotsholmen. It is designed by Vilhelm Dahlerup and was built in 1878. Holmens Bro and Børsbroen also used to be the work of Dahlerup but these have both been replaced.

The current bridge is not high at all. The name goes back to the wooden bascule bridge that was the first bridge to Slotsholmen.

Holmens Bro
Holmens Bro is an arch bridge built in granite in 1954 to replace Dahlerup's design from 1878.

Round Christiansborg Open Water Swim
Since efforts to improve water quality in Copenhagen Harbour has made the water clean enough to allow swimming, an open-water swimming competition around Slotsholmen has been revitalized. With the course being 2,000 metres, the 10,000 metre race involves five loops. There is both a competition for amateurs who swim in the afternoon and a FINA 10 km Marathon Swimming World Cup event with US$11,000 in prize money that takes place in the morning. The swim takes place in August and water temperatures are 18-22 °C.

The nature of the course makes it unusually good for spectators and that combined with the historical surroundings have gained it a reputation as one of the best open water swim competitions in Europe.

Campbell McComas

Geoffrey Campbell McComas AM (2 May 1952 – 8 January 2005) was an Australian comedian, writer and actor.

Early life and education
McComas attended Caulfield Grammar School and Scotch College in Hawthorn, Melbourne, and studied law and arts at Monash University.

Career
After practising law for several years, he became one of Australia's most renowned public speakers and comedians.

McComas's start in comedy was in May 1976, when he made his famous hoax lecture at Monash pretending to be Glanville Williams, "alternative professor of English law at University of Cambridge". The lecture was given to around 450 students, though it has often been remarked that thousands of people claim to have attended the lecture. Even those who knew Williams were reportedly fooled by the hoax. McComas then made a professional career out of similar stunts, hired by various organizations to perform in character as a "guest speaker".

McComas is probably best known to the wider general public, however, through his chairing televised comedy "debates" at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He regularly appeared on ABC radio, and created over 1800 characters for impersonations. In 2004, he was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his service to entertainment.

McComas died in early 2005 after a short battle with leukaemia. He was survived by his wife, Wendy, and son from his first marriage, Alistair, who was also a law student at Monash.
