Goaltending (basketball)

Goaltending is a violation of the rules in the sport of basketball. It consists of certain forms of player interference with the ball while it is on its way to the basket. It is goaltending if a player touches the ball when it is (a) in downward flight; or (b) above the basket rim and within an imaginary cylinder projecting above the rim; or (c) already touching the rim; or (varying at certain levels of the sport) after it has touched the backboard and has a chance of going in the hoop.

Goaltending in this context defines by exclusion what is considered a legal block of a field goal. In high school and NCAA basketball, goaltending is also called when a player interferes with a free throw at any time in its flight towards the basket.

Effect
If goaltending is called for interference with a field goal, the shooting team is awarded the points for the field goal as if it had been made. The team that commits the violation then inbounds the ball at its baseline, the same as if it had conceded a basket. In high school and NCAA basketball, if goaltending is called on a free throw, the shooting team is awarded one point, and a technical foul is called against the offending player.

Goaltending is commonly confused with the related violation of basket interference (also called offensive goaltending) which occurs during an attempted field goal when a player touches the basket, the rim, or the ball when it is on the rim. Like goaltending, basket interference when committed by the defending team results in an award of points to the shooting team as if the attempted field goal had been made.

FIBA rules allow a defender to block any shot that is over the rim and the ball is on its upward flight.

The prohibition against goaltending was adopted by the NCAA in 1944 (and later by the NBL) specifically because of George Mikan. Prior to the advent of the high-jumping 6 ft 10 in (2.08 m) Mikan, goaltending was not addressed because it was thought physically impossible.

Non-Chalcedonian Christianity

Non-Chalcedonian Christianity comprises the branches of Christianity that do not accept theological resolutions of the Council of Chalcedon, the Fourth Ecumenical Council, held in 451. Non-Chalcedonian denominations reject the Christological Definition of Chalcedon (which asserted Dyophysitism), for varying reasons. Non-Chalcedonian Christianity thus stands in contrast to Chalcedonian Christianity.

Today, the Oriental Orthodox Churches predominantly comprise most of non-Chalcedonian Christianity.

Overview
The most substantial non-Chalcedonian tradition is known as Oriental Orthodoxy. Within this tradition are a number of ancient Christian churches including the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, the Syriac Orthodox Church (sometimes referred to as "Jacobite"), the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church.

The Christology of the Church of the East (i.e., "Nestorian" Christianity) may be called "non-Ephesine" for not accepting the Council of Ephesus, but did finally gather to ratify the Council of Chalcedon at the Synod of Mar Aba I in 544.

Within the Patriarchates of Alexandria and Antioch, the rejection of the Chalcedonian definition became a cause of schism. While the common people of Egypt and Syria mostly objected to the Council, the Byzantine-Greek minority that formed the ruling class mostly accepted the Council. These two parties vied for possession of the ancient sees of Alexandria and Antioch that formed, at the time, the third and fourth most prestigious sees in Christendom, respectively. Ultimately, neither group absolutely dominated either church. The end result was the existence of two distinct patriarchates of Alexandria and Antioch for almost 1500 years, continuing in the present time. What is now known as the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria is the native Egyptian patriarchal faction of Alexandria that reject Chalcedon, whereas the Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria is composed of those who accept Chalcedon. For Syrians, the Syriac Orthodox Church forms the patriarchal faction of the native Syrian-Semitic population whereas the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch is composed of those who accept Chalcedon.

In India and to a lesser degree in Persia, the schism that occurred was between the Oriental Orthodox and the Assyrian Church of the East. Even today in Kerala, there is a continuing presence of both the Assyrian Church of the East and the Syriac Orthodox Church along with an independent Oriental Orthodox Church which is separated from Syriac Orthodox Church called the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church.

In the 18th century and onwards, Nontrinitarian and Unitarian Christians are necessarily non-Chalcedonian having their own separate traditions, different nontrinitarian theologies, and polities. The largest such groups are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Latter Day Saint movement), Jehovah's Witnesses and the Iglesia ni Cristo.

Microbiota decussata

Microbiota is a monotypic genus of evergreen coniferous shrubs in the cypress family Cupressaceae, containing only one species, Microbiota decussata (Siberian carpet cypress, Russian arbor-vitae). The plant is native and endemic to a limited area of the Sikhote-Alin mountains in Primorskiy Krai in the Russian Far East. Microbiota is not to be confused with the range of microorganisms of the same name. The genus name was derived from micro-, meaning "small", + Biota, the genus name for a closely related conifer, a species formerly called Biota orientalis, now renamed Platycladus orientalis.

Description
Microbiota decussata is a prostrate shrub to 20 – in height, and 2 – in spreading width. The foliage forms flat sprays with scale-like leaves 2–4 mm long. The cones are among the smallest of any conifer, 2–3 mm long, green ripening brown in about eight months from pollination, and have four scales arranged in two opposite pairs. The seeds are 2 mm long, with no wing; there is usually only one seed in each cone, rarely two. The foliage sometimes turns brown in winter, giving the impression that the plant has died; but it revives in spring.

Taxonomy
The monotypic taxon Microbiota was discovered in 1923, but political secrecy in the former Soviet Union prevented any knowledge of its existence outside the country for around 50 years.

Microbiota is generally accepted as being a distinct genus. It has also been suggested, but not widely followed, that Microbiota could be included in the closely related genus Platycladus. Other fairly close relatives are the genera Juniperus and Cupressus.

Cultivation
Microbiota decussata is grown as an ornamental plant for use as evergreen groundcover in gardens and parks. It is valued for its drought tolerance and considerable cold temperature and winter season conditions tolerance. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Peter Diem
Dear colleague, I have now two new renditions of the Austrian State flag with eagle. The so-called heraldic and the so-called artistic version - both are used in Austria due to conflicting interpretations of the Coat of Arms of Austria by two competing flag factories. The one that sells the "artistic" or "grey" version is a bit cheaper and therefore wins more tenders. The other one produces the heraldically correct flag with the truly black eagle for the army and other agencies.

In both cases THE TONGUE of the eagle must be shown just below the red stripe in the WHITE field. This, unfortunately, is not the case in the Wikipedia. I would be very glad if you could take note of this situation and put the correct svg version(s) into Wikipedia. They can be downloaded from

http://oktogon.at/laender/laender.htm

Please be so kind and let me have your opinion on that - I would be very obliged if this long lasting problem could be finally solved

Matcha
You're probably aware of this already, but macha is not a mispelling. It's actually the Hepburn version of the Japanese word (まっちゃ in hiragana). David.Monniaux 09:58, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not so sure about that. Take a look at: Hepburn. "Matcha" is the correct Hepburn spelling, as "macha" is missing the "t" for "っ" -Himasaram 10:11, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Woops, I didn't pay attention to consonant doubling. My bad. David.Monniaux 18:25, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, my concern was whether "macha" was a commonly used spelling of the word in English or not. If so it should be mentioned in the article according to Wikipedia rules. After Googling the terms, I concluded that Matcha and Maccha were far more common than Macha, which in fact apparently is the name of a Gaelic god. :-) -Himasaram 20:19, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Natural religion
I can see why you changed the redirect, but did you look at the brief article which was originally there? certainly, the term "natural religion" isn't normally used in the context of natural theology. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 12:12, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Still, "natural religion" is mentioned as a synonym for "natural theology". Also, the term "natural religion" can't be found anywhere in the humanism article or talk:humanism which make the redirect very confusing. So I propose we create a disambiguation page instead. -Himasaram 15:32, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well, the term "natural religion" seems to have been invented by the creator of the article (a personal essay or original research), which is why I made it a redirect. My worry is that you've retrieved some of the original research for the disambiguation. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 16:24, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * See also the articles that he's created: Church of Reality and Doubt based, and the VfDs on them. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 16:32, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I understand your concern. However, comparing Natural theology and the original Natural religion, don't you think they express the same ideas after all? Especially the sentances: "religion based on reason and ordinary experience" (natural theology) and "religion that believes in reality the way it appears from the human perspective" (natural religion)! -Himasaram 18:08, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No — natural theology claims that one can come to know supernatural truths through reason, while this person is talking about a non-supernaturalist religion. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 19:32, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Right. That's a good explanation.. Well, then I once more suggest that we make Natural religion simply point to Natural theology. The author of the original Natural religion is not reliable according to you, so wouldn't it be safe to ignore what he wrote? Also, the article mentions "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion" as the title of book on Natural theology, so my theory that the terms are synonyms seems likely. -Himasaram 20:14, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Hume does use that term in his title, it's true, but it's no longer used in that sense (and he was actually doing philosophy rather than theology). In religious studies it's used (albeit rarely) to refer to the notion that there's some sort of natural, spontaneous religious apprehension common to all human beings — in other words, neither natural theology (indeed, almost the opposite of natural theology) nor the non-supernaturalist, humanist religion of the original article.  Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 21:58, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * You seem to have strong reasons not to make this redirect. I think the best course of action now would be to delete Natural religion. -Himasaram 13:03, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * That would take a VfD (which I'm pretty sure would result in Delete), but let me see if I can save it. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 14:24, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I leave it up to you. This is a bit out of my league. :-) -Himasaram 17:02, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Flag
That flag is nowhere to be seen in the Middle East, because nobody calls themselves "Aramean". That flag has not been adopted by anybody, nor the Syriac Orthodox Church. It is only flyed by some Syriac Orthodox members in Sweden and Germany. Chaldean 16:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Right, so maybe it can be captioned "Syriac Arameans communities in northern Europe" or something like that instead... -- Himasaram 22:04, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * They are not considered an ethnic group and there church does not recongnize the flag. Its a made up flag, like the Chaldean flag. By posting it, your legimitizing it. This is false. Chaldean 02:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * However, the apparently regard themselves as an ethnic group, which is something that should be mentioned in an encyclopedia! -- Himasaram 03:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for your work on Korea-related articles (most recently tidying and tagging various cuisine-related articles). We'd be delighted if you'd care to join us at WikiProject Korea, where we've just been getting ready to start a "Cuisine Working Group," and maybe sometime soon a linguistics working group too. In any event, happy editing! Hope to see you around. Cheers, -- Visviva 13:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your photo of Jang Yeong Sil's statue! I went through a lot of troubles & failed. (Wikimachine 23:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC))
 * Glad you liked it! I'm not entirely satisfied with it though -- the angle is not perfect and his face is covered by his hand. It was hard to get a good shot due to the traffic outside the station. See my other try at Image:Jang Youngsil 2.jpg. Cheers, --Himasaram 02:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Tan Kem Dae
Hi Himarasam, could you put on the fair use tag then? I can't seem to find it & I'm not quite sure how the justification works. But I'm glad that you're interested in having as many pics as possible. That's my goal too. Only reason why I put it on deletion process was that, well, I was reminded of its unknown copyright status & also I thought that in order to put it onto Wikipedia Commons it had to be perfect in terms of copyright data. (Wikimachine 04:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC))

As I did in Ahn Eaktae, I'm in process of hand-drawing Kim Okgyun in order to avoid copyright infringement. Could you delay the transfer to Wikipedia Commons for a sec? How about 2 days? Thanks. (Wikimachine 04:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC))

Request: Dual license Image:Tutanchamun Maske.jpg

Absolutely. Permission's granted. If you want me to add a copyright message on the image's page, just let me know what the appropriate wiki code is. (I don't hang around here as much as I used to... and have lost track of what tags to add to images for appropriate usage rights!) - MykReeve T·C  12:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the permission, MykReeve! I don't believe you need to change anything here. The image on Wikipedia will continue to be under the GFDL license, while the same image in the Freeciv repository will be under the GPL. --Himasaram 04:55, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Request for help re graphics
As I see that you are very involved with the graphic side of Wikipedia, perhaps you would be able and willing to advise me on how to transfer imgages from the Indonesian Wikipedia to the English one. Specifically, I have recently created a page for Poncke Princen, the former Dutch colonial soldier who went over to the Indonesian rebels in 1949, and I would like to put there his picture from the Indonesian page. So far, I did not suceed, and would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks! Adam keller 17:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Download the image to your computer, then use the Special:Upload page here on Wikipedia. In the summary, you have to specify a good license. I can't read Indonesian, so I can't tell exactly which license it's on over there, but it looks like it's under copyright. In the case the author has released all rights, use copyrighted free use; in other cases use fair use. Good luck! --Himasaram 02:33, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Is Gallery of city flags a "mere collection of media files with no text to go with the article"?
I would argue that it is instead a structured list, and think it (and other flag galleries like it) belong in Wikipedia, not in the Commons. Granted, this would be a much stronger article if more city flags had articles written for them, but I think having lists of flags like this actually encourages the writing of such articles. But I think removing such graphical lists from Wikipedia would actually result in the loss of a valuable information resource, representing considerable collective editorial effort. --ScottMainwaring 15:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Excuse my overreaction! I thought Template:Copy to commons, despite its name, implied a move to commons and thus the deletion of this article from Wikipedia.  No problems at all with a copy -- thanks for adding that tag!  (Though I do wish the explanatory text it expands into was clearer about the tag's meaning and implications...)  Cheers, --ScottMainwaring 05:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Documentary Film
Himasaram-

Hello. My name is Nic Hill and I'm directing a documentary film about Wikipedia. I am following Jimmy Wales around the world and documenting the movement. I'm traveling to India with Jimmy in late February but I'll be in Seoul from feb 17th to feb 19th. I see you are living is Seoul. I was wondering if you would be interested in meeting up when we come to town? or if you know any Korean Wikipedians who might be interested... Any language is ok. So far we have filmed at Wikimania 2006, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.

Please take a look at our movie trailer... http://www.underdogpictures.com/wikidoc/wikienter.htm

Thank you for your time. Please contact me if you are interested in being a part of this documentary film.

Hello! I have written some comments at the talk page to an article which you have previously seen and edited; would you like to add to them somewhat? In my view the article is above that of a Start class; we will need a couple of opinions in addition to mine own to get it there. See what you think; here is the talk page - comments would be great.

Image:NZflag_proposal-dignan.gif
Hi Himasaram - I'm a little perplexed as to why you added a "no source" template to Image:NZflag_proposal-dignan.gif. I uploaded a copy of this flag at the request of another editor, and gave it the standard gfdl-self template to indicate that I had created the image myself. I am James Dignan, the designer of this flag. I don't think Wikipedia needs to worry too much about copyright on this one. Grutness...wha?  09:55, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oops! Sorry about missing out the colons! As to uploading to commons, feel free to do that - I always seemt o make a mess of trying to move images over to there, so I'd be very happy if you did it :) Grutness...wha?  03:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

DRV for "Truth in Numbers: The Wikipedia Story"
Dear Himasaram, this upcoming Wikidocmentary film article is currently under discussion at Deletion review on today, because a recent decision to retain it on Wikipedia has been appealed and it is in progress in reaching an ultimate consensus. You may wish to support for restoration by contributing it to the review. Since you had involved into it in regards to this upcoming Wikidocumentary film by Nic Hill, so please do help out and try not to hesitate to voice out your advocated opinion! Otherwise without you commenting about it, this article would never had existed. Pole Heinz Tower 14:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

NowCommons
Hi Cohesion, I noticed that you removed the tag from Gallery of flags with animals; now, how do you suggest we should notify readers/editors that an article has been transwikied to Commons? Regards, Himasaram 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Ahh, I see what the intention was. I added commons to the page, does that seem to work for what you needed? The template that was there is a date based template meant to mark images that exist on commons that should be deleted from the english wikipedia. - cohesion 03:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, I guess it's better than nothing. However, gallery articles at the 'pedia are going through a permanent transwiki process, as have recently been agreed on somehow (you never quite know with this project, though) so it is highly likely that this and other gallery articles will be deleted from the 'pedia eventually. See for example Articles for deletion/Gallery of city flags. Some articles, such as the city flags one, has been deleted, while others like Flags of active autonomist and secessionist movements has been turned into soft redirect pages. --Himasaram 03:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I thought it might be a candidate for deletion, and there may be specific tag for this transwiki project. Or you might just want to nominate it foe deletion. If you meant to mark it for deletion let me know and I will nominate it for you. The template that was being used is definitely for images though and is linked to CSD:I8, placing the including page in Category:Images with the same name on Wikimedia Commons. - cohesion 04:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Gibraltar
Hi. Your restoration of the flag icons to this article precipitated another edit war about the applicability of the Northern Ireland flag which, as you may know, has no official status. I've removed them again and I am asking you not to restore them. More generally, this sort of use of flag icons seems to add no encyclopedic value but merely to be a decoration, and a divisive and inaccurate sort of decoration at that. See WP:FLAGCRUFT for an attempt to rationalise how we use flags in Wikipedia. Best wishes, --John 19:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Terribly sorry for having started that edit war. It was definitely not my intention. Having flags in sister city lists is AFAICT a de-facto standard here on the 'pedia, so the Gibraltar article not having any stood out in my eyes. Anyway, not giving the status of the flag a second thought, I simply used what was default for the Northern Ireland flag template. If this design is not official, it should IMO not be default either because otherwise unsuspecting editors like me will keep on adding it all over the place in good faith. If there's no good neutral replacement, I'd say we put up the flag of the sovereign state that governs the region as a placeholder, i.e. the Union Jack. --Himasaram 23:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Aw no problem. I never thought you had acted in bad faith for a moment. I'm sorry if my message was a bit snippy. You raise an interesting point though, about flag icons in this section of city articles. Where would be a good place to discuss this centrally, do you think? --John 03:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Not sure. Maybe starting a thread at the Community portal is an adequate first step.. BTW, what in particular do you think we need to discuss centrally? --Himasaram 05:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * What encyclopedic purpose this de facto usage serves. My opinion would be that they are purely decorative, often divisive (as in this instance) and constitute a dumbing-down of Wikipedia. 🏴 England doesn't actually tell you anything that England doesn't. I love flags, in their proper place, but am opposed to seeing them used like this. --John 06:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * The flags give a good visual overview of the geographical extent of sister city agreements. To avoid controversy, though, it might be a good idea to allow only sovereign-flags in those lists. --Himasaram 03:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Liszt's flags
...and it's an essay I happen to agree with. :) I personally can't stand those little flag icons, I think they are needless clutter and look kind of amateurish. (There are exceptions, for example I have no problem with using flags to denote the combatants in a military event infobox.) But in the case of biography infoboxes, I think they're unnecessary. K.

LSPR flag
Bäste Himasaram! Thanks so much for creating the file Flag_of_Latvian_SSR_1919.svg! However, in order to make it more historically accurate, I'd request that you revise it the read "LSPR" or "LZPR" in the top corner. The image by Mark Sensen on http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/su-lv_h.html is based on an article in English that transliterates "ССРЛ" as the initials of "Sotsialisticheskaia sovetskatia respublika Latvii", i.e. the Russian translation of "LSPR" and "Latwijas Socialistiska (sometimes also spelt at this time: Zocialistiska) Padomju Republika" from article 30 of the original Latvian version of the constitution. Compare the flag photos further down on this same website, or the image at http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Latvia.htm. If you could make this relatively simple amendment, I'd be very pleased. Also, you knew of anyone willing to make an SVG of the state emblem depicted at http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/su-lv_h.html (also described in art. 30 of the LSPR constitution), that would be greatly appreciated as well! — Zalktis 16:49, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Done! Thanks for pointing that out. I was actually somewhat confused because of the conflicting statements and chose to believe Mr. Sensen because he cited a source. I'll see what I can do about the emblem, but don't hold your breath. ;) --Himasaram 05:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Flag of Schleswig-Holstein
Hi Himansaram

I noticed your edit to the First Schleswig War article describing the blue-white-red flag of Schleswig-Holstein as not contemporary. AFAIK, the same tricolour was used by the secessionist administration during the 1848-50 war. See also: (section: Civil flag / Landesflagge). I also heard it referred to as such when Queen Margrethe visited Schleswig many years ago, but if you know of any other flag used by this administration, I'm all ears. Btw, have you checked the Prussian flag? It was the only image I could find that matched the painting shown on Battle of Jasmund, but it doesn't seem to be supported by Country data Prussia. Happy editing. Valentinian T / C 07:26, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi Valentinian. I'm on a bit of a flag crusade at the moment, removing flags that are used out of their context. I know there is a lot of opposition to using flags at all in infoboxes, so their incorrect use gravely undermines the cause of us who like to have them there.

 * I did some rudimentary research before removing the Schleswig-Holstein flag, but it wasn't enough apparently. Feel free to put it back (or I'll do it when I come around to it.) Sorry that my crusade claimed an innocent victim!

 * On the Prussian war flag - we could add it to the country data template as alias-war. It doesn't seem to be the only Prussian war flag, though. See for example . --Himasaram 07:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

 * The Prussian situation is indeed confusing. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the different flags. Anyway, I've restored the Schl.-Hol. image on the First Schleswig War article. Valentinian T / C 09:38, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Flag template documentation
Hi Himasram, you may have noticed my recent work on the country data templates, using a new documentation system. I'd appreciate any comments you have, since you are currently frequently working on those templates. Thanks, Andrwsc 23:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * They are certainly more informative now. The syntax of the country data templates seems to be a bit more abstract, but I guess easier to use and maintain. All in all, very sleek! --Himasaram 01:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well yeah, I haven't documented how to write the documentation (!) yet, but the idea is that the set of values in the noinclude section is used to automatically generate the template documentation (e.g. replacing the way we used to document flag variants). Andrwsc 01:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Patent Cooperation Treaty - languages of publication
currently only mentions eight languages of publication. To my understanding adding Portuguese and Korean is only a proposal. Am I wrong? Thanks. --Edcolins 14:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Barbro Holmberg.jpg}
Thank you for uploading Image:Barbro Holmberg.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:49, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Bulgari

Bulgari (, ; stylized as BVLGARI) is an Italian luxury fashion house founded in 1884 and known for its jewellery, watches, fragrances, accessories, and leather goods.

While the majority of design, production and marketing is overseen and executed by Bulgari, the company does, at times, partner with other entities. For example, Bulgari eyewear is produced through a licensing agreement with Luxottica, and Bulgari formed a joint venture with Marriott International in 2001 to launch its hotel brand, Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, a collection of properties and resort destinations around the world.

Currently part of the LVMH Group, Bulgari was founded in the region of Epirus, Greece, in 1884 by the silversmith Sotirios Boulgaris (Greek: Σωτήριος Βούλγαρης, Italian: Sotirio Bulgari) as a single jewellery shop that has, over the years, become an international brand. The company has evolved into a player in the luxury market, with an established and growing network of stores.

Etymology
The trademark is usually written BVLGARI in the classical Latin alphabet, and it is derived from the surname of the company's founder, Sotirios Voulgaris (Σωτήριος Βούλγαρης, ; 1857–1932).

Logo
The BVLGARI logo was used for the first time in 1934, when its gilded brass letters graced the central doorway of the Via Condotti flagship store. In reference to ancient Rome, the "U" was replaced with the letter "V". Since then, the trademark is stylized BVLGARI in the classical Latin alphabet.

From its origins through the 1940s
The Voulgaris were a silversmithing family from the Epirus region of Greece. Whether or not the Voulgaris family of Corfu and the Voulgaris family of the Italian jewelers Bulgari from Epirus share the same paternal line is unclear, but Count Stefanos Voulgaris denied that the Bulgari family of the Italian jewelers family is genealogically related to the Voulgaris family of Corfu. According to chronicles of the Voulgaris family written in Venetian Corfu, the "Voulgaris family of Saint Spyridon of Corfu" descend from the royal figures of "barbarian" peoples, as Greeks used to call everybody who is not Christianized, from the Volga river, who "finally settled in Moesia near the Balkan – Haemus mountains, located in Bulgaria", so the founding fathers of this family were described as descendants of Prince Stefan Lazarević and Khan Tervel, "kings of the Triballi, in the 16th century testament of the family, becoming such by taking refugee in the Venetian island Corfu.

The founder of the Bulgari brand is Sotirios Voulgaris (Σωτήριος Βούλγαρης), who was born in Paramythia, in March 1857; he originated from the Greek village of Kalarrytes, which was the largest center for silversmithing in the Balkans. He was one of eleven children of his father Georgios Voulgaris (1823–1889) and his Vlachophone Greek mother Eleni Strouggari. In 1881, Sotirios Bulgari moved to Rome and, in 1884, opened his first store on via Sistina 85. In 1888, he married Aromanian Eleni Basio with whom he had six children: Constantine-Georgios (1889–1973), Leonidas-Georgios (1890–1966), Maria-Athena (1891–1976), Sofia (1893–1908), Alexandra (1895–1984) and Spyridon (1897–1932); Leonidas-Georgios is the father of the current chairman of the company, Paolo Bulgari. In 1905, he unveiled the Via Condotti shop that would become the company's flagship. In its early years, Bulgari was known for silver pieces that borrowed elements from Byzantine and Islamic art, combining them with floral motifs. At the time, Paris was the apex of fashion and creativity, and its trends influenced Sotirio's designs for decades: jewels of the early 20s were characterised by platinum Art Deco settings while those of the 30s featured geometric diamond motifs—sometimes set in combination with coloured gemstones. Convertible jewels were also popular during the time, and one of Bulgari's major pieces was the Trombino, a small trumpet-shaped ring.

In 1932 Sotirio died, leaving the business to his two sons, Giorgio (1890–1966) and Costantino (1889–1973), who each had a keen interest in precious stones and jewels. During the Second World War, most new jewellery was crafted out of gold, as gems were scarce, and designs became more natural feeling. As the 1940s came to a close, Bulgari introduced Serpenti bracelet-watches.

1950s and 1960s: Colour revolution and Dolce Vita
In the 1950s, some of Bulgari best-known clients included Elizabeth Taylor, Anna Magnani, Ingrid Bergman and Gina Lollobrigida as Rome earned a reputation as "Hollywood on the Tiber" with the Cinecittà studios.

At the same time, Bulgari went to a new style. The post-war boom saw a return to precious materials, particularly white metals covered in diamonds. In the 1950s, Bulgari launched its first floral brooches—called en tremblant because of their trembling diamond corollas. At the end of the 1950s, Bulgari began to establish its motifs, introducing structured, symmetrical shapes in yellow gold set with brilliant gems—chosen for their colour rather than intrinsic value. Among these multi-hued jewels, cabochon cuts were another innovation. These new pieces were a significant departure from classical Parisian design. After Giorgio's death in 1966, his son Gianni led the company as co-chief executive with his cousin Marina. Designer and heir to the jewelry legacy, Marina Bulgari, also known as Marina B, passed away on 14 February 2024 in Rome, at the age of 93.

1970s: Eclectic creativity and global expansion
During the 1970s, Bulgari stores opened in New York, Geneva, Monte Carlo and Paris. This era marks the beginning of the Group's international expansion, with Gianni as chairman and CEO. A number of new motifs made their debut as well—jewels became recognisable for their angular forms, strong colours, oval elements with cabochons, chains and maxi sautoirs, whilst the predominant use of yellow gold made precious pieces feel all the more wearable, and became known as a Bulgari trademark. In 1977, Bulgari entered the world of horlogerie with the launch of the BVLGARI BVLGARI watch.  At the time, Gianni led a complete overhaul of the company, focusing on product design.

1980s: Prêt-à-porter jewellery
In the early 1980s, to oversee all production of Bulgari watches, Bulgari Time was founded in Switzerland. In 1984, Paolo and Nicola Bulgari, Giorgio's sons, became chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, while their nephew, Francesco Trapani, became chief executive officer. In 1985, Gianni resigned as CEO and in 1987, he left the family business after selling his one-third stake in the company to his brothers Nicola and Paolo.

From the 1990s to the new millennium
Bulgari diversified its brand in 1993 with the launch of its first fragrance, Eau Parfumée au The Vert and the founding of Bulgari Parfums in Switzerland to oversee the creation and production of all perfumes. In 1995, Bulgari pushed ahead with an aggressive programme for growth, becoming listed on the Milan Stock Exchange for the first time. In 1996, the brand launched its first accessories collection, beginning with silk scarves before developing a range of leather accessories and eyewear. In 1999, the brand launched the B.zero1 ring.

The company has seen 150% revenue growth between 1997 and 2003. Bvlgari continues to build up many brands which has made them one of the most profitable luxury brands in the jewelry industry.

21st century
The year 2000 was the beginning of an increasingly aggressive period of verticalization for Bulgari, with the acquisition of the luxury watchmaking brands Daniel Roth and Gérald Genta, followed by the takeover of the jewellery firm Crova and of other companies that specialised in leather goods and watchmaking. The opening of the first Bulgari Hotel in Milan in 2004 further confirmed the expansion strategy of the brand, and was the result of a joint venture with Luxury Group, a division of Marriott International. In 2009, Bulgari celebrated its 125th anniversary with a retrospective of the brand's history, held in Rome at Palazzo delle Esposizioni. That same year, the snake—a motif that appeared in Bulgari collections from the 1960s—re-emerged as the emblem of the Serpenti collection.

In 2011, Bulgari signed a strategic alliance with LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, the world's leading luxury group. The agreement was based on a stock transfer of the Bulgari family's shares in Bulgari S.p.A. to LVMH, an all-share deal for €4.3 billion ($6.0 billion), higher than LVMH had offered for any other company. Under the deal, the Bulgari family sold their 50.4 per cent controlling stake in exchange for 3 per cent of LVMH, thereby becoming the second-biggest family shareholder behind the Arnaults in LVMH. The takeover doubled the size of LVMH's watches and jewellery unit, which at the time of the acquisition included Tag Heuer timepieces and De Beers diamond necklaces. The acquisition concluded on 4 October 2011 as Bulgari was delisted from the Borsa Italiana.

In 2014, Bulgari celebrated the 130th anniversary of the brand. To mark the occasion, the shop at Via Condotti 10 was "reimagined" by the architect Peter Marino, and reopened. On the same day, the brand donated €1.5 million to the city of Rome for the restoration of the Spanish Steps. A few months after the Grand Opening, the DOMVS was inaugurated in the redesigned Bulgari boutique, creating a gallery space to house of Bulgari's Heritage Collection.

In 2017, Bulgari opened a new jewellery manufacturing headquarters in Valenza. The largest in Europe, with a total area of 14,000 m2, the Manufacture has been given a Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification for sustainability in its design. The facility was built over the former home of the first goldsmith in Valenza, Francesco Caramora. The buildings follow the model of a Roman domus, and are built around a central courtyard.

In March 2024, the Bvlgari jewellery house officialized and announced the creation of the Fondazione Bvlgari, an institution that is an extension of the brand's founding values, particularly its commitment to safeguarding historical heritage.

John P. Mohr

John Philip Mohr (20 April 1910 – 25 January 1997) was an administrator with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

As Assistant to the Director for Administrative Affairs, he was one of the officials chiefly responsible for the proper implementation of procurement requirements and procedures.

He retired on 30 June 1972 as the FBI's No. 4 man.

In January 1978, United States Attorney General Griffin Bell issued a public report summarizing an investigation into alleged misuse of FBI funds in a "Confidential Fund." Mohr, Clyde Tolson, and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover could authorize disbursements from this fund, and it was found that Mohr had directed employees of the Exhibit Section to make numerous repairs and improvements of property owned by him and his family.

The report states:

 * (a) Mr. Mohr was Assistant Director for the Administrative Division of the FBI and the Assistant to the Director. He was primarily responsible for using USRC as an exclusive supplier of electronics equipment to the FBI. His conduct toward USRC violated 28 C.F.R. § 045.735-2(b) and (c)(2) (prohibiting employees from giving preferential treatment to any person outside the Department). He received a few gratuities (tape deck, Christmas gifts) from Mr. Tait. No evidence was found that he was bribed, but he violated 945.735-14(a)(1), which prohibits employees from accepting gifts from those doing business with the Department.

 * (b) FBI employees provided goods and services to him as described above. This arguably violated 18 U.S.C. 641 (conversion of government property to his own use), (prosecution barred by the statute of limitations), and 28 C.F.R. §45.735-16 (misuse of federal property).

 * (c) Mr. Mohr was also responsible, along with Mr. Callahan, for using FBI Recreation Association and Confidential Fund monies for unauthorized public relations purposes. This matter has been referred to the Department's office of Management and Finance for appropriate action (see footnote 12 above). In 1972, he attended an expense paid hunting weekend at Remington Farms, an FBI arms supplier. This is a violation of the Department prohibition against accepting gifts from those doing business with the Department, 28 C.F.R. §45.735-14(a)(1).

 * (d) No action has been taken against Mr. Mohr. He retired on June 30, 1972. Criminal action under all of the above federal provisions is barred by the five year statute of limitations.

Jack Van Impe

Jack Leo Van Impe (February 9, 1931 – January 18, 2020) was an American televangelist who had a half-hour weekly television series Jack Van Impe Presents, featuring eschatological commentary on the news of the week through an interpretation of the Bible. The program airs around the world through both religious broadcasters and the purchase of paid programming time on commercial television stations. He was known as the "Walking Bible", having memorized most of the King James Version of the Bible. His wife, Rexella, shared his television ministry as co-host.

Early life and marriage
Van Impe's parents, Oscar Alphonse Van Impe and Marie Louise, née Piot, immigrated from Belgium to the city of Troy, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, in the United States in 1929. Jack Leo Van Impe was born on February 9, 1931, in Freeport, Michigan. He was the couple's only child. Van Impe decided to become an evangelist after he saw his father become a missionary with very strong faith.

According to Van Impe, he and his father Oscar played the accordion at night clubs, and Oscar regularly swore and drank alcohol, and believed that religion was hogwash. At meals, Van Impe would drink alcoholic beverages along with his father, which is a European tradition. Then when Van Impe was twelve years old, Oscar converted to evangelical Christianity, and Oscar and Jack together smashed all of their bottles of alcoholic beverages. Since that event, Van Impe did not consume any alcohol.

Jack Van Impe played accordion duets with his missionary father across Michigan and other states. In 1948, Van Impe graduated from high school and entered Detroit Bible Institute, where he earned his diploma in 1952. It was then that he began his career as a preacher and evangelist and extensive recording career.

While working with the Billy Graham crusades, he was at a Youth For Christ rally with Chuck Ohman (a friend of Jack's who was a trumpeter for Percy Crawford's "Youth on the March" television broadcasts ). Here, Jack Van Impe met his future wife, Rexella Mae Shelton, who was an organist with the crusades. Rexella was born in Missouri on November 29, 1932, and was named after her father, Rex Shelton. She had attended Bob Jones University for one year. The couple were married on August 21, 1954, and together started Jack Van Impe Ministries.

Recordings
Beginning in the 1950s, Van Impe released dozens of Gospel and spoken word recordings. His first album Presenting the Van Impes features Jack on the accordion and Rexella on organ. Subsequent musical recordings featured the accorgan, a type of electronic accordion. Parts of an unknown sermon were used in the 1995 house song "Sex on the Streets" by Pizzaman, although Van Impe talked about the same events in his 1970 album Marked for Death.

Biblical prophecy beliefs
Van Impe believed that Revelation 13 predicts that a single world political leader (the Beast) and a single world religious leader (the False Prophet) will emerge, but the Rapture will happen before either leader comes to power. He believed that the Bible teaches that the world will be organized into ten political subdivisions, based on the ten-district plan set up by the Club of Rome, and that this ten-division world empire will be jointly ruled by the European Union and the Islamic world, which he believed are represented by the two iron legs of the prophetic dream statue in the Book of Daniel. Van Impe believed in the Prophecy of the Popes, and that according to said prophecy, Pope Francis is Peter the Roman, the predicted pope who will preside during Armageddon.

Van Impe, a dispensational premillennialist, preached a pre-tribulation rapture of "The Body of Christ" and also said a one-world religion will form, named "Chrislam"; the joining of the world's two largest religions (Christianity and Islam). He believed that the Bible states that the world political leader will "come in peaceably" (per Daniel 11:21) and create a seven-year peace deal involving Israel (per Daniel 9:27). Then, three and a half years into the peace, Russia (the interpreted meaning of "Rosh" from Ezekiel 38:2 and 39:1; Van Impe also identified Meshech and Tubal from the same passages as Moscow and Tobolsk respectively), along with its Middle Eastern allies ("Persia, Cush, and Put", from Ezekiel 38:5), will break the peace by invading Israel, according to Ezekiel 38, and the military of Russia and its allies will be decimated by nuclear warfare and pushed back to Siberia. Then China (the interpreted meaning of "kings from the east" from Revelation 16:12) will invade, and the military of China will likewise be decimated when Jesus returns.

Mark 13:9 “You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues." Van Impe at various times in his last decades seemed very urgent that all signs had been fulfilled, but never mentions that Christians were being flogged in synagogues.  In the September 3, 2016, episode of Jack Van Impe Presents, a news headline is interpreted as fulfilling the prophecy in Isaiah that the city of Damascus would be completely destroyed, increasing Van Impe's insistence that the end of time would happen "very, very soon."

Strangely, Van Impe believed that at any one moment, the 24 time zones on earth would be labeled by three different days. His confusion was stated more than once because he felt it fulfilled the prophecy that no man would know the day of Jesus' return.

Jack Van Impe Presents
Jack Van Impe Presents is a weekly telecast produced by Van Impe's non-profit organization at the Jack Van Impe Ministries World Outreach Center, in Rochester Hills, Michigan. Van Impe's wife, Rexella, co-hosts.

In June 2011, Trinity Broadcasting Network refused to air an episode of Jack Van Impe Presents that criticized Robert Schuller and Rick Warren for promoting "Chrislam". In response, Van Impe ceased airing his show on TBN.

Health and death
In one episode of Jack Van Impe Presents, which aired during the week of June 19, 2006, Van Impe informed his audience that he had undergone two total knee replacements in early 2006. He gave thanks to God for his recovery and for leading him to the "wonderful surgeon" who performed the operation. Subsequent to the problems with his knees, Van Impe suffered from cancer, a severe sepsis attack, and blood loss resulting from stomach ulcers which he attributed to his NSAID arthritis medication. On the episode which aired during the week of May 31, 2015, Jack Van Impe was absent from the program, and Rexella Van Impe explained that he had been hospitalized for triple by-pass heart surgery. Carl Baugh co-hosted the program until Van Impe's return to his weekly show on October 3, 2015.

On January 7, 2017, Rexella Van Impe announced that Jack Van Impe had broken his hip, but was recovering. Carl Baugh co-hosted that program as well. In Jack's absence, Rexella Van Impe co-hosted the program with various guests: Carl Baugh for six episodes, Dave Williams for six episodes, Dr. Robert Jeffress for two episodes, and Walt Sheppard for three episodes. From April to May, 2017, re-runs were aired until the May 27, 2017, broadcast when Jack Van Impe reappeared beside Rexella, and the couple announced that, under doctor's advice, they were ending the TV broadcast. Thereafter, weekly videos were posted on the organization's Web site. In 2018, radio and television broadcasts resumed, with Chuck Ohman serving as their announcer. For the most part currently, weekly episodes on YouTube are again reruns from when Jack Van Impe was alive with news clippings in the beginning tying the episode in question to current events. Rexella anchors solo in a fully new episode very rarely, distinguished by a different type of thumbnail in comparison to the rerun episodes.

Jack Van Impe died on January 18, 2020, at a hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan at the age of 88.

Hi,

I've removed part of the info that you had recently added to the X-Men '97 article, since the supporting reference only mentions Wolverine and the X-Men (TV series) and says nothing about Marvel Anime: X-Men.

Thanks, David O. Johnson (talk) 20:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

 * This is my reply to @David O. Johnson. Even though the link doesn't mention Marvel Anime: X-Men, there should've been at least an honorable mention to where Jennifer Hale had last voiced Jean Grey in a TV series even though this sequel project uses a mix of Los Angeles voice actors and Toronto voice actors in a way that was different from "The Mutant Agenda" episode of Spider-Man.
