Talk:Basal lamina

Basal Lamina vs. Basement Membrane
This article begins by asserting that the term "basement memberane" is an erroneous label. However the anatomical picture exactly to the right of first paragraph is labeled using the supposedly erroneous term "basement membrane". Seems like an inconsistency that needs to be sorted out. --Paul, 10 June 2006
 * Agreed; hopefully the caption I added clarifies this point. --David Iberri (talk) 21:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

The histology book I have (Michael H. Ross et al 2003) says on page 107, "The terms basement membrane and basal lamina are used inconsistently in the literature. Some authors use basement membrane when referring to both light and electron microscopic images. Others dispense with the term basement membrane altogether and use basal lamina in both light and electron microscopy. Because the term basement membrane originated with light microscopy it is used in this book only in the context of light microscopic descriptions and only in relation to epithelia. The electron microscopic term basal lamina is reserved for the ultrastructural content to denote the layer present at the interface of connective tissue with epithelial cells. The term external lamina is used to identify this same layer when it forms a peripheral cellular investment as in muscle cells and peripheral supporting cells."--dsws 14:12, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I tried to clarify this issue in the article. I felt the "basement membrane is an erroneous label" beginning gave the wrong impression, especially since I arrived at this article via a redirect from basement membrane. I tried to tone it down a bit, making clear that it's not a question of one term versus the other but that they're two distinct terms that are often confused. Because there are no articles on lamina propria, lamina densa, etc. I'm tempted to create a basement membrane article and incorporate the EM-visible elements sections of that article. Thoughts? Robotsintrouble 21:14, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, I think it would make more sense to have a basement membrane article, and then explain all its parts in that article. All the terms redirecting to that article should have simple definitions in the intro paragraphs, so that the intro can stand on its own. Also, the article should mention the considerable non-uniformity in the literature with respect to these terms; see also Dorlands Dictionary entry. For some authors, "basal lamina" and "basement membrane" are synonymous, for others "basal lamina" and "lamina densa" are synonymous. We can't call these choices of terminology "mistaken"; we have to explain them and then pick one and stick with it. AxelBoldt 16:30, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

In molecular biology of the cell, Albert et. al 5th edition the basal lamina and the basement memnrabe is the same: "basal lamina (also refered to as the basement membrane") pp. 1164. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.143.235.187 (talk) 12:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

lamina lucida vs lamina densa
These are different structures, and I can cite dermatologic sources stating so (see *James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005) Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology (10th ed.). Saunders. ISBN 0721629210.); therefore, perhaps we could change up the redirection of these terms to this article? Kilbad (talk) 01:40, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Copying text, word for word, from Junquiera's Basic Histology and referencing the sentence as being paraphrased is unacceptable. I removed the plagiarized text from the article. --Jelly Bean MD (talk) 14:06, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Mae Sexton

Mae Sexton (born 28 April 1955) is an Irish former independent politician. She was previously a Progressive Democrats Teachta Dála (TD) for the Longford–Roscommon constituency from 2002 to 2007.

Background
She is a native of the townland of Glack, near Longford town.

Political career
Mae Sexton first became active in elected politics in 1991, when she stood as an independent candidate for Longford Town Council and Longford County Council and was elected to both bodies, receiving the largest number of votes in each case. She stood at the 1992 general election in Longford–Roscommon as an independent candidate, but obtained only 1,160 first preference votes (2.6%), and was eliminated, failing to be elected.

Prior to the 1997 general election, she joined the Progressive Democrats, and stood in the Longford–Roscommon constituency for the party, obtaining 2,289 first preference votes (4.8%), and being eliminated on the second count.

She was re-elected to both Longford Urban District and County Councils in the 1999 local elections, although her first preference vote for both bodies had declined.

She stood again at the 2002 general election. Her first preference vote increased to 4,679 (9.4%), and she was elected to Dáil Éireann, finishing 54 votes ahead of a Fianna Fáil candidate for the final seat, having edged out the sitting Fine Gael TD, Louis Belton, by just over 200 votes at an earlier stage in the count. Her election in 2002, in a predominantly rural midland constituency for a party often associated with the urban middle classes was one of the major surprises of that election, and came after a series of near misses from elimination during the progress of the election count.

Dáil Éireann
Sexton maintained an active profile within County Longford during her time as a Dáil deputy and built a minor profile nationally as a panellist on political discussion programmes on radio and television. In June 2005, she attracted attention by calling for the Irish government to abandon plans for a referendum on the European Constitution after the defeats of the referendums in France and the Netherlands.

2007 general election
Her political future was affected by changes in constituency boundaries which came into force at the 2007 general election. County Longford was included in a new Longford–Westmeath constituency. At the local elections in 2004, in which Sexton was not allowed to stand because of legislation forbidding TDs and Senators to serve on local councils, her personal vote largely failed to transfer to her local party colleagues, with her former County Council seat being lost and only the Longford Town Council seat being held by the party.

At the 2007 general election she lost her seat, polling only 2,298 first preference votes (4.2%) in the new constituency and being eliminated on the third count. Unofficial tally figures published in local newspapers showed that her vote had halved in her County Longford base, while she received negligible support in County Westmeath. After the poor performance of the PDs in the election, she said in an interview with local radio that she was still committed to the party.

2009 local elections
With the dissolution of the Progressive Democrats in 2009, Sexton stood as an independent candidate at the 2009 local elections in Longford. She regained her seats on both the Longford County and Town Councils.

Labour Party (2010–2012)
In April 2010, the Labour Party announced that Sexton had accepted an invitation to join the party. Sexton ran in the 2011 general election in Longford–Westmeath alongside sitting Labour TD Willie Penrose. She was unsuccessful garnering 3,960 votes or 6.8% of the poll. She left the Labour Party in December 2012, citing concerns over the budget.

2014–2019
She was re-elected to Longford County Council at the 2014 local elections. She was an unsuccessful independent candidate at the 2016 general election for the Longford–Westmeath constituency. She lost her seat on Longford County Council at the 2019 local elections.

Tohamsan

Tohamsan is a mountain with a height of 745 m in Gyeongju City in southeastern South Korea. It is part of the minor Dongdae Mountains range. The mountain lies within Gyeongju National Park and is the site of a large number of historic relics. The Silla-era Buddhist shrines of Bulguksa and Seokguram are on its slopes. The mountain stands at the intersection of three subdivisions of Gyeongju: Bulguk-dong, Bodeok-dong, and Yangbuk-myeon. The Sea of Japan can be seen from the peak, as can Gyeongju Basin, which includes the city center.

During the Silla period, Toham mountain was referred to as Dongak (東嶽), literally meaning "East Big Mountain", and considered a guardian mountain of the country, so that major rituals were held.

Van Hunt

Van Hunt Jr. (born March 8, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. He released his debut album, Van Hunt, in 2004, and a follow-up, On the Jungle Floor, in 2006, both on Capitol Records. He won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for appearing on the tribute version of the Sly & the Family Stone song, "Family Affair", in 2007. He transitioned to Blue Note Records where his 2008 album, Popular, was shelved and would not be released until 2017. He self-released the compilation album Use in Case of Emergency in 2009.

Early life
Hunt was born in Dayton, Ohio. His father, Van Hunt Sr., was a friend of Ohio Players drummer Jimmy "Diamond" Williams. Hunt took up the drums at age 7, and saxophone at the age of 8, later adding bass and keyboards. Guitar was the last instrument he learned to play; he played guitar in a rock band called Royalty. Hunt moved to Arlington, Texas for a short time before relocating to Atlanta, Georgia in 1996 to attend Morehouse College, where he studied English, but soon dropped out. In Atlanta, he started producing a few hip-hop demos for Atlanta rappers in order to pay bills. Hunt met up-and-coming record producers and artists like Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri and TLC through his work on demos.

Early career
Hunt wrote and co-produced the song "Hopeless" for singer Dionne Farris, formerly of Arrested Development, and joined her band on guitar and keyboards. "Hopeless" appeared on the soundtrack for the film Love Jones (1997). Hunt co-wrote several songs with Rahsaan Patterson on his album Love in Stereo (1999), and co-wrote with Cree Summer, including the song "Mean Sleep", for her album Street Faërie (1999), produced by Lenny Kravitz. He also collaborated with Joi on the single "Missing You" (2002). Through Dionne Farris, Hunt met A&R person Randy Jackson (who later went on to be a judge on Fox's American Idol). Jackson would become Hunt's manager in 2002.

Capitol records
Hunt recorded much of the songs from his debut album in 2000. Producer Dallas Austin took Hunt's recording to Capitol Records, leading him to sign with the label in 2001. Hunt's first album, Van Hunt, was released in February 2004. The album included the singles "Down Here in Hell (With You)", "Dust", and "Seconds of Pleasure", and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. Hunt's second album, On the Jungle Floor, was released in 2006. The album featured the single, "Character," a revisited "Mean Sleep", as a duet with Nikka Costa, and a cover of "No Sense of Crime" by The Stooges. The album was co-produced by Bill Bottrell. Hunt has toured and appeared with Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Boney James, The Roots, Seal, Angie Stone, Coldplay, The Brand New Heavies, the Dave Matthews Band, and Kanye West.

In 2006, Hunt appeared with Nikka Costa on the Sam Moore album, Overnight Sensational, on the song "If I Had No Loot". Hunt was also featured on "Half the Fun", a track on the Count Bass D album, Act Your Waist Size, released on Fat Beats Records.

In 2007, Hunt won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, along with John Legend and Joss Stone, for their cover of the Sly & the Family Stone song, "Family Affair", which appeared on the 2006 tribute album Different Strokes by Different Folks. Hunt described winning the award as "one of the bigger pleasures I've had" to The Athens Blur Magazine in 2009.

Blue Note
Hunt released the 4 track digital EP, The Popular Machine, on August 7, 2007. Hunt announced a full-length album, Popular, to be released on Blue Note Records on January 15, 2008. Hunt moved from Atlanta to Los Angeles in 2007 while the album was nearing completion. Blue Note had taken over Hunt's recording contract after corporate restructuring at Blue Note and Capitol's parent company, EMI. In December 2007, Blue Note announced that they would not be releasing the album, and that Hunt and the label mutually agreed to part ways. Hunt wrote on his MySpace blog in January 2008, that he couldn't promise that Popular would ever be officially released. Blue Note owns the master recordings and opted not to sell it back to him at an affordable price. Hunt commented that he "didn't think that they had enough money" to promote the album properly. LA Weekly called the album an "appealingly trippy fusion of funk grooves, punk guitar and soul vocals", and "a left-field stunner". Hunt told the Atlanta alternative weekly newspaper Creative Loafing that he was "devastated" when the label decided not to release the album. In August 2017, Popular finally saw an official release on all online distributors 10 years after it was shelved.

Independent
As of June 2008, Hunt was recording a fourth album, which he planned to release himself and market using the Internet. Hunt has blogged about his new approach on his MySpace page. Hunt toured the U.S. in July and August 2008. Meanwhile, he released Use in Case of Emergency, a compilation of demos, remixes and B-sides recorded between 1997 and 2005, through his Web site in May 2009. In 2009, Hunt performed on the theme song for the film Hurricane Season, entitled "Be on Our Way." Hunt has also been working on autobiographical book of short stories titled Tales of Friction. In July 2009, Hunt told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he plans to release one more album and tour once more, but does not know what his plans are after that. Hunt performed at the National Black Arts Festival's tribute to Curtis Mayfield at Atlanta Symphony Hall on July 16, 2010.

Godless Hotspot and What Were You Hoping For?
On June 14, 2011, Van Hunt took to his Twitter to announce the release of his first song in 3 years. The song "June" was released on June 15 at midnight via Mike Ragogna of The Huffington Post along with the announcement of the title of his forthcoming album (What were you hoping for?) and its release date. A subsequent longer article about the song "June" and the new album and Van's new approach would appear later that same day on the Music remedy website. This article would not only talk about the joint venture-between Hunt's own label Godless-hotspot and Thirty-Tigers. It also goes on to say that "June" is the first of a series of free songs that will be released from various sites up until the release of the new album. The next will be "eyes Like Pearls" the first official single from the album that is set to be released to radio sometime in July

The Fun Rises, the Fun Sets
Van Hunt released updates of work on his upcoming album via PledgeMusic during the course of 2014. In March 2015, he announced the title of his album as The Fun Rises, the Fun Sets, due for release on May 5, 2015. He previewed the release of the new album with the new single "Vega (Stripes On)", which was available for release via iTunes and Amazon and followed this up with another single, "Old Hat". Both tracks had official videos accompany their releases. The album charted at #31 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Q-Telecom

Q-Telecom was the fourth mobile telephony provider in Greece. It began operation in June 2002. As of 2008, it called itself "Q" and called its services "MyQ." The company provided GSM phone service, supported by LMDS and backbone networks, and called itself the only complete and integrated telecom provider in Greece. In May 2007, it merged with WIND Hellas, which was known at the time as TIM Hellas.

Company profile
Q-Telecom (former Mobile Network Code: 202-09) was initially a division of Info-Quest. It billed itself as the first private Greek operator to provide combined mobile and fixed telephony as well as Internet service. Focusing on large urban centers, it developed a second-generation mobile telephony network and a broadband fixed wireless access network, point-to-multipoint, operating in the 3.5 GHz band. It also developed a national leased line and privately owned transmission network. Q-Telecom was directly connected to the Hellenic Telecommunication Organization (OTE) and the three other mobile operators. It advertised high-quality voice services, a high call switching transfer rate, and pan-Hellenic coverage via national roaming with Vodafone Greece.

It combined mobile telephony services with the prefix 699 (prepaid and postpaid), SMS, and fixed telephony via the carrier selection code 1765. The company billed itself as providing customized services, per second billing, no set-up fees, mobile number selection, preferential rates with Q-Family, the lowest tariff rate for SMS, and added value services.

Acquisitions and eventual merger into WIND Hellas
Troy Communications announced its plan to acquire Q-Telecom in 2005 for a cash consideration of €325 million and the assumption of existing indebtedness of €25 million. Troy Communications already owned the third largest Greek mobile phone provider WIND Hellas, which was known as TIM Hellas until 5 June 2007. When the acquisition was complete in October 2006, Q-Telecom subscribers were able to use WIND GR's (at that time TIM GR) network for national roaming. Wind Greece did not renew the roaming agreement with Vodafone GR for Q-Telecom subscribers, thus since its expiration Q-Telecom subscribers are only able to do national roaming on Wind GR.

WIND Hellas and Q-Telecom were later acquired by Weather Investments.

Postpaid customers were offered new WIND Hellas SIM cards, retaining their old numbers. Existing Q-card customers continued to use their Q-Telecom SIM cards, although technically they were "roaming" on the WIND Hellas network. New Q subscribers were given SIM cards that appeared to be Q-cards, although WIND Hellas (MNC: 202 10) was their home carrier. The radio network of Q-Telecom (MNC: 202 09) was disbanded in May 2007. Q-Telecom's bands are currently used by WIND Hellas on its radio network (MNC: 202 10). Q-Telecom employees became WIND Hellas employees.

Q-card
Q-card remains as a prepaid wireless product.

Ya! telephone card
The Ya! prepaid telephone scratch card allows calls to be made from residential or public phones. It is used mainly by students and young people, and for international calls by tourists and people from other countries living in Greece. Ya means two things in Greek: Γεια means "hello" and για means "for", so the card's slogans are "Say Hello", "For everyone", "For (calls to) all over Greece and the world".

Q-shop

Q telecom has launched a shop in its website that sells second hand devices. There are three categories A,B and C in which it translates the device condition and malfunction. According to the category that is chosen the phones prices are also changing from A being the most expensive to C being the least.

TV and radio campaigns
Q-Telecom was known in Greece for its publicity campaign on both TV and radio. The ads contained small cartoon characters (the "Q-ies" or "Q-δάκια" in Greek) that resembled the company's logo. They used slang to promote the company's offers and slogans, such as "no fixed fees".

Robert Randolph and the Family Band

Robert Randolph and the Family Band is an American gospel band led by pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph (Robert Jermaine Randolph, born August 8, 1977, Irvington, New Jersey). NPR has described the band as one with an "irresistible rock 'n' roll swagger". Rolling Stone included Randolph upon their list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. The band has released six studio albums and has been Grammy nominated four times.

Band history
Frontman Robert Randolph was trained as a pedal steel guitarist in the House of God Church and makes prominent use of the instrument in the band's music. The instrument is referred to in many African-American Pentecostal churches as "sacred steel". Randolph was discovered while playing at a sacred steel convention in Florida.

The group's sound is inspired by funk bands such as Earth, Wind & Fire and Sly & the Family Stone. Randolph himself has explained that in his adolescent years before being discovered by the secular community, he was almost completely unaware of non-religious music. He went on to exclaim in an interview that "I grew up and saw a lot of older guys playing lap steels and pedal-steel guitars in my church. I had never heard of the Allman Brothers, or even Buddy Guy or Muddy Waters."

Before releasing albums with The Family Band, Randolph was selected by avant-garde jazz organist John Medeski to join him and the North Mississippi Allstars on their 2001 jam project, The Word. Just prior to the release of The Word's debut album, Randolph was brought to the attention of music fans through a review by Neil Strauss in The New York Times in April 2001. On their first non-church tour of the East Coast, Randolph's new Family Band opened for the North Mississippi Allstars and then rejoined the musicians after their set, with Medeski, as The Word.

The first Robert Randolph and the Family Band album, Live at the Wetlands, was released in 2002 on Family Band Records, recorded live on August 23, 2001, just prior to the club's closing. The band released their studio debut, Unclassified on August 5, 2003. They attracted the attention of Eric Clapton, and have subsequently toured as a supporting act with the English blues guitarist. Clapton later guested on their 2006 album Colorblind, playing on a cover of "Jesus Is Just Alright".

In 2002, they were hired by ABC to make the network's new NBA theme song. The song, "We Got Hoops", only appeared in three telecasts, though it was used throughout both the NBA and WNBA seasons during promotions for both leagues. In September 2003 Randolph was listed as No. 97 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time list. Robert entered the list following Leigh Stephens and directly preceding Angus Young. In February 2004 Robert Randolph and the Family Band along with the band O.A.R. released a cover version of Led Zeppelin's "Fool in the Rain", which was made available for online purchase through iTunes. This version was played live with O.A.R. at their June 18, 2009, show at Charter One Pavilion in Chicago.

Their third album, Colorblind, was released October 10, 2006. The song "Ain't Nothing Wrong With That" was used in several commercials for NBC, and used in Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas' jive on Dancing with the Stars. In June 2008 the Discovery Channel used this same song in a popular promo entitled "It's All Good" for their summer lineup. The song "Thrill of It" was used throughout the 2007 college football season by ABC during their College Primetime games.

They worked with producer T-Bone Burnett on their fourth studio album We Walk This Road, released in 2010. They released the supposed first single from that album entitled "Get There" but this song did not appear on the album. The first official single from the album is "If I Had My Way." Randolph used his steel guitar with a wah-wah pedal

Their 2019 recording, Brighter Days, was chosen as a 'Favorite Blues Album' by AllMusic.

Live appearances

The band made its first television appearance on Late Show with David Letterman on August 5, 2003, performing "I Need More Love".

In 2004, Robert Randolph and the Family Band was the opening act on the Eric Clapton tour. They are featured prominently in the Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD (2004). The band also appears on Bonnaroo Music Festival DVDs. The length of the concerts can vary greatly depending on what songs are played (the band does not use a set list) and how long jams last. Concerts go over the allotted time if the band and the audience are having fun. Most concerts don't have an intermission; instead, band members will exit the stage leaving one or two members a chance to shine with solos. The one time the band does stop is so the band can relax, get hydrated, and plan the encore. On October 9, 2004, Robert Randolph and the Family Band appeared on the PBS television show Austin City Limits.

On January 24, 2007, they played in Dallas at Victory Plaza outside of the American Airlines Center as part of the 2007 NHL All Star game festivities. The band also played before the start of the 2007 NHL All-Star Game. The Family Band has opened for Dave Matthews Band for some shows on their 2002–09 tours. In 2005 Robert Randolph appeared on the Dave Matthews Band release Weekend on the Rocks. Robert Randolph has performed as a guest during the Dave Matthews Band set on songs such as "All Along the Watchtower", "Louisiana Bayou", "Stand Up", "Smooth Rider", "You Might Die Trying", and "Two Step", among others.

In 2007, Robert Randolph and the Family Band played at the inaugural South Padre International Music Festival. In 2008, they opened for Eric Clapton and were also one of four featured artists on the Music Builds Tour. Robert Randolph and the Family Band played in Oxford, Mississippi on April 25, 2009, as part of the 14th annual Double Decker Arts Festival. In 2009 Randolph also sat in on two live performances of Led Zeppelin's "Fool In The Rain" with the band O.A.R.

Also, on June 22, 2014, Robert Randolph and the Family Band played at the TD Toronto Jazz Fest, welcoming a new "cousin" Andrew Prince to the stage for two songs.

Robert Randolph and the Family Band played the 10th annual Rooster Walk Music and Arts Festival in May 2018.

On July 30, 2022, Robert Randolph and the Family Band opened for Zac Brown Band outside the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.

In July, 2024, Robert Randolph and the Family Band are scheduled to perform at FitzGerald's American Music Festival in Berwyn, Illinois.

Hi, I've expanded the article somewhat since Peer Review and would be grateful if you had time and inclination to run an eye over it before I go to WP:FAC. Thanks Filiocht | Blarneyman 07:38, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * I tried, but db weirdness seemed to say that my changes had been made, but they didn't show up. Odd.  If it looks different to you, then I did some proofing (more later).  If it looks just the same, then we can blame the db.  (No idea what drug the user below is taking or why I've been the beneficiary of his striking wit, but, well, that's why I have the special buttons to push.)  Geogre 13:01, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Your improvements to the lead section are showing up fine, thanks for the work involved. Any more you do will be very welcome. When I rewrite an article bit-by-bit over a long period, I tend to become even more blind than usual to its faults. (Ah yes, that majic button has its uses.) Filiocht | Blarneyman 13:12, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm relieved (although I see you disagreed with some). I fully understand.  With long articles, it's inevitable that flow of prose gets disrupted by stitching between sentences.  The sutures always show, and we all get blind to them.  I will get at the body after a while.  I still haven't a clue why "Karatloz" has mistaken me for a male donkey, but he had vandalized The 3, so I gave him a light ban.  The IP who keeps spinning out paranoid fantasies and childish taunts, on the other hand, is upset that he wasn't allowed to write one sentence substubs with impugnity.  All who think they're substandard are not New Yorkers (wonder what he'd think if he found out that some people aren't even Americans!), and he then goes from there to call names -- fully in keeping with the articulateness that generated those articles.  However, I'm not one to ban for personal attacks, though some do.  If he vandalizes, I'll knock him out for a good while, but the rest is just sticks and stones weakly thrown. Geogre 23:51, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The DB was really playing up yesterday. I did not disagree with any of your edits; quite the opposite. My edits were actually pre yours. I see the history reflects this today. I've been much more active as an admin this week and expect it won't be long before my own talk page becomes the target of some high-level wit, too. Filiocht | Blarneyman 07:33, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

You're a jackass. Karatloz 11:51, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Enjoy your Wikipedia vacation. Geogre 13:01, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Hey, it's me Karatloz. That wasn't me that called you a jackass, it was my stupid friend. Thanks for noting that my contributions were worthwhile. Anyway, I was looking at my past contributions and it appears my account has been "hijacked" more than once. I'm not going to tell anyone my new password! Karatloz 16:38, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Solange
Maybe not, since the novel doesn't have an article, and in fact isn't even mentioned in Willy Kyrklund? Or maybe not at the top (though that is where I've seen a few of these dabs, I'm pretty sure)? In my world, this is a well-known novel, I was just listening to a good reading of it on the radio. Anyway, I'm unsure of the principle, please rv ad libitum. --Stalker | talk 16:38, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Aphra Behn
Goodness... you want to take a look at what's happening there? --Bishonen | talk 20:04, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * You mean the new editor who is putting naivette back in, after the Gildon-slurry? It's trash.  I just warn folks that their words aren't going to stay for long.  My problem is that I don't want to put my toe in the river unless I'm going to take a bath.  I can get her to 1671 now, but not beyond, and, as much as I'd prefer to have a nothing than an incorrect something, what I don't have the energy for is an edit war that would erupt after I pasted the  tag on it and stripped it to the verifiable essentials.  The list of plays after that is also slush, to me, but I won't fight that. Geogre 21:39, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Just adding my voice to the countless thousands who are begging you to take Aphra Behn in hand - especially after your astoundingly excellent work on Oroonoko. I've just hacked out some more of the most excruciating bits but that didn't leave a lot behind and it'll probably just get reverted again. I haven't got the resources to do it myself and let's face it, you (and Bish) are the dons of the baroque. Apologies if you think the list of plays is slush, I got it from my copy of the Rover. Well, I felt guilty about doing nothing! --Mr impossible 17:57, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, shoot, I don't think it's wrong. My fear was the authors were going the way of bands.  I just had to step into a bit where one person was forever splitting a band article while others were trying to discuss all the albums in one place (all short).  I was concerned that the list was going to be instead of a discussion.  A bibliography of her works is vital.  Like I said, I was just worried that some folks (and never you, as you do great work) were going to produce the list and think the duty to Behn done.  I will absolutely get back on Behn, though.  You're right:  I've waited too long, and right now I'm just looking like a critic on the talk page.  It's time to make it work or stop making comments.  I just stalled on the biography in favor of reading a bunch of other things (not for lack of interest, but just because another shiny bauble came into view, and a started pawing at it), and I need to finish it so that I can get Behn past The City Heiress.Geogre 18:48, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Jamiroquoi is a War Crime
The chief evil of colonialism is that it goads a subjugated population into purchasing its own goods back from its subjugators, at a marked up price. You grow the coffee beans, they roast them, and you buy coffee from them and can't have any to drink otherwise. The US made Sly and the Family Stone and Motown. It should not be asked to buy them back in the form of fey hat-without-a-head Britpop, and, if any of its citizens do, the subjugation is only ignorance and the force of historical blindness. Grrrr. Geogre 01:02, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

St Eric
Thanks for notifying me of this. I will have a look at it ASAP.--Wiglaf 14:09, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Eric the saint is Eric IX. It was not Swedish custom during the middle ages to give the kings numbers. When they did introduce numbers, they started with the mythological kings, so everything is in order.--Wiglaf 14:15, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry for barging in... The anachronistic numbering is based on a partly historical, partly pseudohistorical work by the 16th century deposed Catholic archbishop Johannes Magnus with which I am not really acquainted (Wiglaf may possibly know more). The numbering wasn't used in the Middle Ages and it is never actually used by modern Swedish historians either. Personally I think it should better be avoided altogether. Uppland 18:24, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Humanifesto
FWIW, I don't think you don't come off as hostile in VfD. The problem as I see it, is that some people interpret tone where none exists. In any case, I find your VfD comments helpful and informative. --Viriditas | Talk 00:20, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Help me please
Geogre, I need your help. Vandals have been vandalizing my userpage and I find myself unable to revert it for some reason. They vandalized your userpage as well, which is reverted now. They have also vandalized Votes for deletion/Grandma Butter Chicken. I need someone to block the three IPs concerned. They are listed on WP:VIP. Sjakkalle 11:41, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

That was some ugly juvenile vandalism. Kids these days... Zocky 11:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, and for their trouble they all three got blocked. (sigh) It's not that a sonnet is that hard to write. Geogre 11:58, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your help Geogre. I am looking forward to clashing with you on VfD debates in a friendly manner in the future :-). Sjakkalle 12:01, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Sam Slocum
I have played Ten Thousand Dollar Pyramid to find out more about Sam Slocum. I think I have found some google hits about the guy, but under the name Samuel Slocum, I have made some changes to the article. Can you take another look at it? Sjakkalle 07:04, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Great stuff. Thanks for the work.  I'm always pleased to get to change my vote. Geogre 11:11, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the kind words and the response! Sjakkalle 06:07, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Edgar Allan Poe
Hi! I noticed you have previously been involved in editing this article, and it is currently being worked on to try to raise it to FA standard. If you are interested in helping improve this article once more, see here. Harro5 00:15, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Replied on your talk page, under the #FAC section. Basically, there are some bits of information that I think are needed, and I'm in a position where I cannot be as much help as I'd like.  I can copy edit any time you'd care for it, but I would need some of my missing books under my hand to supply the information I'd need to bring forth some of the points on Poe's non-fiction and poetry. Geogre 04:22, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

I've completely redone the Punkas article. I hope you have the time to check it. It may not be as much a candidate for deletion as it previously was. Tx.--McDogm 20:29, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Dannyisme's upended wheelbarrow
Nice start! Oh, very well, I'll do a plain vanilla short drama section from Hume's Development of English Drama if you like, I don't really have the heart to stand by and look at your foot sticking out from Danny's pile of bricks. 1660—89, you say? OK, got it. I appreciate that some eggs need to be broken to make this omelette. 1660—89 takes out the flowering of the drama in the 1690s, but I'll mention that it's out, lest readers be nonplussed at not finding Congreve. Bishonen | talk 07:52, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Re 1660—1700
Hey, there's no consensus about what years "The Restoration" covers as a literary period (or as anything else). During the FAC discussion of Restoration comedy, I researched how, specifically, people defined the period in the phrase "Restoration comedy", and easily came up with this lot (quoting myself some): Restoration comedies are comedies produced in 1660—1668, 1660—1682, 1660—1685, 1660—1688, 1660—1700, 1660—1702, 1660—1710, 1660—1732, or 1660—1760! None of the suggestions are made by "fringe" scholars. IOW, there's no consensus, pick what you like, state your definition, and go with it. (The list doesn't even contain your 1660—89, but of course 1660—88 is merely synonymous with it, for obvious reasons.) As you know, I picked 1660—1700 for the comedy article, reasoning that it would be the most encyclopedic and least idiosyncratic option, but the others all have merit, too. Please note also that if you're not talking about Restoration comedy specifically, but more generally about "the Restoration period", then 1660—1685, the reign of Charles II, is probably the encyclopedic winner. The dab page Restoration thinks it is. Bishonen | talk 16:28, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the article, and think it should be kept (at least until I can do some more research on it). It was original research (and probably vanity) as originally written, but it's a real term that has been used by some philosophers/theologians. -- BD2412 talk 13:45, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)

If she has changed her mind then fine, but I've had to remove her for now. Don't forget you can add yourself if there is anything you have done which is fab. I'm sure there must be. You can suggest a new category if necessary! I'm sure I haven't covered enough areas. Best wishes -- Silversmith Hewwo 11:44, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Cricket articles
Hey Geogre, I need some advice here, though I'm not really sure why I'm going to you. Anyway have you noticed the Category:2005 English cricket season matches articles that have appeared? If wikipedia is going to summarize every sporting event ever played I think it needs some discussion first, to say the least. As far as I can tell there really hasn't been any. What do you think should be done? -R. fiend 18:06, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * We agree then. So do we address this in some forum? If so where? I knew the TV episode articles would deteriorate into this sooner or later. This really needs discussion but I'm not sure exactly where. I'd rather keep it away from VfD for now. Any ideas? -R. fiend 18:30, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

J.D. Drew
Your words in the edit description: "Added his college, because he was my student." Huh? I corrected your mistakes. You said he went to UGA (wrong) and was your student. Well, I don't know if he was your student. According to your profile, you lived in Athens, GA., but he went to Lowndes County High School in Hahira, GA and you never said you lived in Tallahassee, FL where Drew went to college at Florida State, so where were you his teacher? Furthermore, Drew never won a college world series with Florida State. I'd expect more from "an administrator".
 * Ooooh, guess that shows me! Actually, UGA did win a college world series.  Three baseball players on that team were my students as freshmen, when I was teaching at UGA.  I thought JD Drew was one of them, and it is unwise to expect jockism in admins.  I've had hundreds of freshmen, and at the time I didn't pay that much attention to which teams they were on, except that these guys were smart enough and had a sense of humor.  It was later that I found out that two of the three had gone on to the major leagues.  Geogre 22:01, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I apologize for my inaccuracy, I edited my previous statement, to read "Drew never won a CWS", not "UGA never won a CWS".

Geogre
So here I am, composing a masterpiece of vandalism in sonnet form, when it occurs to me that I don't know the correct pronounciation of "Geogre". Is it ( jor - jre ), ( jor - gre ), ( gai - gre ), or what? ;-) func (talk) 20:54, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Func, none of the above, the basis of the name is the word ogre. Imagine Geogre entering the room, and greet him with a cheerful "Gee! Ogre!" And there you have it! Bishonen | talk 23:17, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yep. Bishonen's right. The name came from my being considered something of a 500 ton weight dropping on opponents during argument in my youth (I've mellowed), and it was ge-ogre. Geogre 03:40, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

English literature
So, I added a summary of your Restoration literature to English literature, if you'd care to check it out. And I think you may not have gone over my invisible comments in Restoration literature. If you look at a version before I whirled the genres round and round the daisies, you'll find 'em easy. Bishonen | talk 23:17, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Cool. Your choices are very interesting, too. :-)  What shocks me, and I mean shocks me is that Augustan literature is wide open.  How can this be?  If you think (and I do) that I put in some sweat work on Restoration literature, that's nothing compared to what I'd do with Augustan.  Them's my peeps.  As for the invisible comments, I really don't quite know what you mean, but I'll play with various diffs and see if I can figure it out. Geogre 03:39, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

BTW, I think I've seen and addressed the invisible ink comments, if I understood properly. Geogre 12:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * My summary in English literature is a quick crude job, relying basically on keeping some of your blocks and deleting others. A proper summary would delicately condense each block, but check out what was there before, and I think you'll grasp why I wanted to put in even a crude one while awaiting... oh...[whistling] somebody [wandering off, shouting over shoulder] while waiting for you to put in a proper one [running away]! -Bishonen | talk 13:39, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It is a proper one, kiddo. You did a great job with it. I'm not sure what anyone would expect of an English literature article except one about 500kb long. Like I said, though, you just wait until I summon the energy and demons and put them in harness to start on Augustan literature. There are butts to be kicked, and I'm lacing up my boots. Geogre 14:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Kiddo? [Deploying ear trumpet, adjusting pincenéz, shaking stick at brazen juvenile.] What you say? Bishonen | talk 16:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I looked at your recent work, and I realized late that you might want the Augustan literature. If you do, I'll gladly step back from such a major plunge. It's a big, big, big task. Is there an element of it you'd consider doing? The drama isn't all that illustrious, and the poetry is enormous, and anyone doing "the novel" needs an article by itself at the least. Geogre 17:04, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * [Running away at a surprising clip for my age.] Nooooooooooo! No Augustan! Not even if there wasn't a Geogre in the house! Bishonen | talk 17:21, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ahhh, come on! It'll be fun. Besides, just imagine what I'd say about Augustan theater. (Hint: I hates it.) Think what I'd say about all the dissenter prose authors. (Hint: I hates 'em too.) Think of all the unfair slagging off on Richardson I'll do. I can't be trusted with the responsibility, I tell you. Geogre 17:46, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi Geogre, I just noticed that you blocked the above user right before I blocked him indefinitely as a troll account/impersonation attempt. After I saw your temporary block, I thought that my indefinite block may indeed have been to much in that case. I'd be willing to trust your judgment, unblock him and apply a temporary block, but I'm not really sure we need to assume good faith with a username like that...

 * Heck no, man! Infinity and beyond is fine with me.  I was just in a hurry to get out the door when I got a flag on him, so I went with the default 24 hr.  My theory was that this account wouldn't really be used for more than 10 minutes or so and that the dingus would immediately switch over to create a new one, so any block would prompt a new move.  Infinite ban does absolutely no harm, though.  (I was thinking that it wasn't the real WoW but rather copy-cat, as he was doing page moves by c&p instead of the way WoW did them.)  Absolutely, though, no disagreement from me.  Let his name never be spoken among the just (anathema).  Geogre 14:22, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Slawi VfD debate
Sorry, but I was hoping you could explain this, if speedy keep is an invalid vote? I'm not arguing or anything, but doesn't this show that speedy keep is a valid vote, since the article was speedily kept? Scimitar 19:22, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your swift reply, and I understand your argument. I concur with what you're saying, mostly because after thinking about it I think that the benefits of keeping the article quickly are outweighed by the possible connotations of the vote. I won't be using this in future, except on excessively moronic nominations (say, United States of America). As for Kappa, I think what he's doing is simply arguing forcefully from his ultra-inclusionist perspective, and not so much an attack on the nominator. I'm pretty sure I'm not an inclusionist, and I disagree with him occasionally, but AFAIK he's always been civil. One of the unfortunate results of the schools debate was a heightening of rhetoric, which led to an absurdly low bar for school notability, since no consensus could be reached. Anyway, thanks for your perspective, and best wishes. Scimitar 19:37, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You gonna upload Image:Southampton.gif, already? Being as I am both a beautiful boy and a straight female, I take several kinds of interest. Is he as beautiful as the flea? Note, btw, that User:Gdr is writing diligently to you about the pictures on my page. Bishonen | talk 17:50, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the bishie. He looks very grown-up, though! About five years older than the average IRC age. That's a biseinen in my book. Bishonen | talk 21:15, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well, true, but he was five years younger when Shakespeare wrote those pretty poems to him, I think. "Nature fell adoting" indeed. Certainly an androgyne. The painting has it all, though: armor in the back and amour in the front. Geogre 21:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank for the pics!
Very much, and the messages! But I will not be tempted into staying up for another minute, I will keep them as a reason for getting briskly out of bed in the morning instead. This is just to share a trick: you can actually link to an image, without displaying the image itself on the page. Give the complete code as if to display it, but add a colon at the head. (Same as with categories.) For an example, lookee the editing code for my link to the Southampton.gif above. Chubby Ned, btw, is a lot bishier than Southampton! And so good night!

A Discourse on the Original and Progress of Satire (1692)
Geogre, did I hear you say you wanted this one in the Ref section? Gutenberg has a nice text of it, together with the "Discourse on Epic Poetry" (1697). You want me to put it in?

 * Dryden, John (originally published in 1692). "A Discourse on the Original and Progress of Satire", from Project Gutenberg. Prepared from the 1888 Cassell & Company edition.

Bishonen | talk 15:56, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Trouble is they have about five traditional titles each, the buggers, so I'm not sure which one that is. The "Original and Progress" is apparently the preface to Juvenal. I've added that fact. Bishonen | talk 16:33, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Just realized you wanted the discourse on the epic as well, putting it in. Bishonen | talk 23:27, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thanks for thanks
You don't need to thank me for recognizing how good the Restoration literature article is (but thanks back anyway). I had been working on getting Emily Dickinson up to FAC snuff, but fell asleep on it for a few weeks somehow; perhaps after I get back in gear on that I will add a bit to fill out the nineteenth and twentieth centuries of the English literature article/series. (I am not sure how we'll want to handle the non-UK-and-Ireland literatures there, but it seems like the main article ought to include everything, at least in survey, and there's a big American literature-shaped hole in it at the moment.) And yes, I know what you mean; it's sometimes easier to write about things you don't know quite so well as your own specialty. Thanks for the invitation to contribute -- though I can't match what you put in (in time or in quality), I will pitch in as I can. -- Rbellin|Talk 21:00, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. If you want to see why I ought not be trusted with survey articles on things I know something about, though, see Augustan literature. That sombitch is something like 50K already, and I haven't even gotten to the poetry or drama. This is also sort of why I wasn't much help on Modern Poetry: I can't go small on things like that, no matter how hard I try. All the developments are important. Geogre 17:02, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * DANG! It is already 53k, and I haven't even gotten to the satire! Holy smokes and cigarettes!  That's insane, but every word is precious.  Every article is necessary.  It can't be shorter!!! I'm going to go have a good cry now. Geogre 02:29, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I just think that "vanity" shouldn't be a criterion. We'd need to attack the obvious vanity article by another criterion than just its appearance of being about the author.

Invitation to distraction
Hi, Geogre, I hope this isn't inappropriate--but if you need a break from WP, you might want to take a look at the "Guessing Winstanley's Frontispiece" game over here. I thought you might get a kick out of it. I haven't started rolling out the big guns yet! I'm going to ask Bishonen too. PRiis 04:16, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * "inappropriate" is hardly a word Geogre knows the meaning of - Oh PENIS! Giano | talk 30 June 2005 13:03 (UTC)
 * That's because everything is appropriate, or else it would not have been invented. The PENIS was invented, for example, because women needed something to pretend to have never heard of, and men needed distraction from their otherwise constant building of bridges and wars to enable them to get women and to give the getting of women a purpose.  WHATEVER IS IS RIGHT, as my buddy the Pope said, even if it's not right now. Geogre 30 June 2005 13:52 (UTC)

Are you guys playing the PENIS game or what? — mark ✎
 * There is no need to boast! We can all write that big if we want to Giano | talk 30 June 2005 16:13 (UTC)

 * Well, I don't know about you, but I regard the PENIS as no joke at all, although it may still be fun to play. Geogre 30 June 2005 16:34 (UTC)
 * PENIS Never heard of the Italian stallion? Giano | talk 30 June 2005 18:49 (UTC)

 * Oh, you mean the PENIS that made Adrian say "Yo?" Geogre 30 June 2005 18:58 (UTC)

 * PEN IS but the point is to say the word publicly in order to win! so I'm ahead. (quite a nice little article by the way, a little short though! Giano | talk 5 July 2005 20:48 (UTC)

 * Forget it, Giano. As you yourself said, I am A Wonderful TOOL .  Besides, I've said "PENIS" just now. Geogre 6 July 2005 02:37 (UTC)

African American literarure
You raised some good issues about African-American literature and I've tried to address them. Do my changes work for you? Also, what do you think about my suggestion of putting some of the extra info about Toomer in the Harlem Renaissance article? My complete comments are at Featured article candidates/African-American literature. I really want to get this article to featured article status, so any more help you can give is appreciated.--Alabamaboy 30 June 2005 11:02 (UTC)

Yolp
For any travellers passing by, Augustan literature is now finished. It is 90 kb, so I didn't get to the predicted 100 kb, but 90 kb is plenty long. Plans for it? Well, I'm going to let my brain sleep for a while. When it wakes up, I'll take the current sections and make them dedicated articles (e.g. Augustan prose and Augustan poetry and Augustan Drama). After that, I'll chop down the sections viciously, with hands atremble and eyes leaking tears, to "essentials" and a very nasty uber-over-view. Then maybe FAC, maybe not. Geogre 1 July 2005 16:08 (UTC)
 * It was done. It is undone! Now clocking in at 51 kb! Before you look, here is your mantra for the day: "Remember you have rollback remember you have rollback remember you have rollback remember you have rollback remember you have rollback ". If you experience a choking sensation, breathe into a paper bag. Bishonen | talk 1 July 2005 16:22 (UTC)

Article Size Question
Since you had such excellent comments on African-American literature, I wanted to ask you about article size. After some of my recent edits to the article, a warning popped up saying the article was now possibly too long. The standard referred to was 32kb. While African-American literature is just below this, I don't understand why Wikipedia has this warning when so many articles go way beyond the lenght restriction (including most of the recent Featured Articles). Can you provide any insight? Also, is it worth worrying about this size limit?--Alabamaboy 1 July 2005 16:50 (UTC)

Very Non-Urgent Message
I'm sorry if my changes upset you, but what threats are you talking about? I never threatened you at any point. If you're thinking of "Everyone stay at least 10 feet away", that is a line in the poem "No Comment", not a message directed at anyone. BTW, the aforesaid postings were not anonymous; I signed them with my username. But I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for giving me my username (well, sort of). Have you figured out what the numbers mean? That one is a bad number is a matter of personal opinion that many people would disagree with me on, but I know that you would agree.

Re: Sorenson companies
Normally, I'd just speedily undelete it, but given that the article went through articles for deletion, my hands are tied. :-( You should go over to deletion review and start a new discussion contesting the deletion there. east. 718 at 11:20, January 8, 2008

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:West Asian Football Federation Championship

A tag has been placed on Category:West Asian Football Federation Championship requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article

Image Tagging Image:Eltonmotelloint.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Eltonmotelloint.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
