Barbi Benton

Barbi Benton (born Barbara Lynn Klein; January 28, 1950) is an American retired model, actress, television personality, and singer. She appeared in Playboy magazine, as a regular on the comedy series Hee Haw, and recorded several moderately successful albums in the 1970s. After the birth of her first child in 1986, Benton retired from show business.

Early life
Benton was born Barbara Lynn Klein in New York City to a Jewish family. Her father was a gynecologist and her mother worked as an investment counselor.

Benton grew up in Sacramento and was childhood friends with journalist Joan Lunden. Benton and future Warhol superstar Jay Johnson were Junior high school sweethearts. While attending Rio Americano High School she pursued many interests, including scuba diving and playing piano. She also did tearoom modeling of department store clothes while in school. She intended to study to be a veterinarian at UCLA, but decided against that career option after realizing she had an aversion to the sight of blood.

Career
At the age of 16, she began to model. Following high school, while attending UCLA, Benton took a job with Playboy to appear on their entertainment show Playboy After Dark at age 18. She began as an extra on the show, but after host Hugh Hefner fell in love with Benton, her role was quickly elevated to co-host. After recording two episodes, Hefner asked the young co-ed for a date. Upon being asked, she reportedly demurred to the then-42-year-old Hefner: "I don't know, I've never dated anyone over 24 before." To which Hefner replied, "That's all right, neither have I." The two began a relationship that lasted several years, and placed Benton in the center of the Playboy enterprise. Hefner persuaded her to change her name from Barbara Klein to the more "marketable" Barbi Benton. She is credited with persuading Hefner to buy the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills in 1974.

Benton (initially credited as Barbi Klein) appeared on the cover of Playboy four times: July 1969, March 1970, May 1972, and December 1985 and in additional nude photo layouts in the December 1973 and January 1975 issues. Though she was featured in a number of photo-essays, she was never a Playmate of the Month. She landed a spot on television's Hee Haw doing short comedy sketches, and often appeared as a dancer on some of the last series of the Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In shows, and subsequently enjoyed a career as a country singer. She also began acting, and appeared in the West German comedy film The Naughty Cheerleader (1970), before appearing as a featured repeat performer on a number of popular television series, including The Bobby Vinton Show in 1976, The Love Boat and Fantasy Island. Benton lived with Hefner from 1969 until 1976 and is known for discovering the Playboy Mansion West, where Hefner resided until his death in 2017. Years later, when the television series The Girls Next Door visited her in Aspen, Colorado, she expressed gratitude that the two had remained friends.

Benton left Hee Haw after four seasons to concentrate on a more Hollywood-oriented career. She also starred in the short-lived 1977 ABC-TV comedy series Sugar Time! about an aspiring female rock group and in films including the slasher Hospital Massacre (1982).

Recording career
Benton achieved some success as a recording artist, hitting the country charts in the mid 1970s. After beginning her career on Playboy Records in 1974, her record "Brass Buckles" (1975) was a top-five hit on Billboard's country singles chart. Follow-up singles charted modestly through 1976. Her third album, Something New, was oriented more towards the pop market, and featured her only single that made the pop charts, "Staying Power" (which "bubbled under" at #108).

Her final country album Ain't That Just the Way (1978) was released only in Scandinavia; the title track was a number one hit in Sweden for five weeks. The same song was also a major hit for Lutricia McNeal in 1996, and was recorded by the Dutch singer Patricia Paay under the title Poor Jeremy in 1977.

Benton's final album, 1988's Kinetic Voyage was very different from her earlier work. This was a largely instrumental new age album for which Benton composed or co-composed all the songs, played piano and synths, and produced and arranged the work in collaboration with Jamil Szmadzinski.

Personal life
Benton dated Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner from 1969 to 1976. Hefner asked Benton to marry him four times, but he was unfaithful during their relationship. When Benton pursued a singing career, their relationship deteriorated further as she spent more time on the road touring.

She married real estate developer George Gradow on October 14, 1979. They have two children, Alexander and Ariana. They divide their time between homes in Aspen and Los Angeles. Their Aspen home, known as ”The Copper Palace” was designed by architect Bart Prince and featured on MTV's ’’Extreme Cribs’’.

Film Works?
What's this album Film Works he apparently has this year? It's not on his website, nor Play.com, nor [ http://www.amazon.co.uk Amazon UK], nor [ http://www.amazon.com Amazon US]. Any reference to it, otherwise I'll remove the bullet-point. — OwenBlacker 17:32, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

I have an album called Film Works and another called Piano Works, have not checked the track listings against older albums but they appear to be compilations of previous works.

Salvadora persica

Salvadora persica or the toothbrush tree is a small evergreen tree native to the Middle East, Africa and India. Its sticks are traditionally used as a natural toothbrush called miswak and are mentioned by the World Health Organization for oral hygiene use.

Other names include arak, jhak, pīlu, and mustard tree.

Etymology
The genus was named by the French botanist Laurent Garcin in 1749 after a Spanish apothecary, Juan Salvador y Bosca. The type specimen was collected in Persia, hence the species name persica.

Description
Salvadora persica is a small tree or shrub with a crooked trunk, typically 6-7 m in height. Its bark is scabrous and cracked, whitish with pendulous extremities. The root bark of the tree is similar in colour to sand, and the inner surfaces are an even lighter shade of brown. It has a pleasant fragrance, of cress or mustard, as well as a warm and pungent taste. The leaves break with a fine crisp crackle when trodden on. The tree produces small red edible fruits, juicy but pungent, in clusters.

Distribution and ecology
The plant is native to the Middle East and Africa, and is found on desert floodplains, riverbanks, and grassy savannahs. It has high tolerance for salty soils and can tolerate as little as 200 mm or less of mean annual rainfall, but it prefers ready access to groundwater.

History and use
Salvadora persica stick, known as miswak, is popular for teeth cleaning throughout the Arabian Peninsula, Iranian Plateau, as well as the wider Muslim world. "Toothbrushes made from roots and small branches of about 3-5 mm diameter have been used for over 1000 years, especially by Islamic populations in India, Arabia and Africa. Several agents occurring in the bark and wood have been suggested as aids in prevention of dental caries [cavities], such as antimicrobial agents that suppress bacterial growth and the formation of plaque."

The fresh leaves can be eaten as part of a salad and are used in traditional medicine. The flowers are small and fragrant and are used as a stimulant and are mildly purgative. The berries are small and barely noticeable; they are eaten both fresh and dried. The wood of the Salvadora persica can be used for charcoal and firewood. In Namibia, the mustard bush is used as drought-resistant fodder for cattle. The seeds can be used to extract a detergent oil.

As of 2009, Botanic Gardens Conservation International has a total of eight Salvadora persica plants in conservation.

Padraig Parkinson

Padraig Parkinson (born 1957 in Galway) is an Irish poker player. He is chiefly recognised as the grand final winner of Late Night Poker series 5 (where he defeated Korosh Nejad) and as the third-place finisher of the 1999 World Series of Poker, where he lost to fellow countryman Noel Furlong.

Originally, Parkinson refused to play in Late Night Poker, as he did not wish to have his cards shown to the audience. His mood changed when money was added to the prize pool, and sponsorship also became a factor. In his heat, he was actually the favourite with 2/1 odds against series 3 champion Phil Hellmuth's 5/2 odds. Despite this, Parkinson bet on Ken Lennaárd (who finished 2nd) at 6/1. Despite the fact that Hellmuth admitted he could see Parkinson's cards during the heat, Parkinson went on to win.

Parkinson still plays numerous tournaments and has money finishes in both the World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour. In December 2009, he was the winner of the inaugural event of the United Kingdom & Ireland Poker Tour in his home town of Galway for €125,000. He also finds time to commentate on poker events including the Poker Nations Cup and the PartyPoker.com Football & Poker Legends Cup. He has been voted into the Irish Hall Of Fame, having captained Ireland to victory in Poker Nations Cup (Europe) and in 2013, he won a WPT PLO event in Paris winning nearly €77,000 at the now-defunct Aviation Club de Paris.

As of 2019, his total live tournament winnings are $1,870,474. His 17 cashes at the WSOP account for $882,460 of those winnings.

Today is the designated selection day to choose the collaboration, but we currently have a tie between the two articles receiving the most votes, John Carpenter and Dario Argento. I am hoping to remedy this by drumming up a few more votes. Note that by voting for any nominated article (not limited to these two) you are indicating your "commitment to support and aid in collaborating on that specific article if it is chosen," so please feel absolutely free to ignore this message if for any reason you don't wish or would not be able to participate.--Fuhghettaboutit 22:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:NPA
In light of the fact that you have zero proof of your accusation..., I refer you to WP:NPA.--MONGO 07:50, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I see...the facts are the facts of the case. What are you. I have a number of featured articles, 200 more that are at least stubs, and have made many excellent contributions here. If you want to insult me, that's fine, but do it here or on my talk page. All I am doing is defending myself against harassment and you show up and also insult me...so what does that make you?--MONGO 07:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I haven't insulted you, I stated that you could handle this case with a little more decorum and that several wikipedians have articles there (yes I have one too). I admire your merits, however I still believe you need to take a breather from this until it blows over. ~ IICATSII 07:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Then don't call me a wet hen, or think I'm lying when I state that I haven't been to their website to edit. I have alot of friends on wiki, and many here in my home town, so I know, since I have email of course and I do communicate, that some others have propbably been to that website and edited articles there. I checked the editing history on the article about me and a number of the blankings were done by people that also blanked a lot of other pages there at the same time.--MONGO 08:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn’t call you a “wet hen”, I used a metaphor “running round like a wet hen” in that it seems that you’re using a lot of energy it deleting links to the main page of the article in question. As for calling you a liar for editing your own article, if you can show me a link to where I’ve stated this then I’ll happily apologise. ~ IICATSII 08:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

if you have a minute
I'm hitting a couple people I've interacted with in the past with this note, looking for input. Could I persuade you to take a cruising pass at it, or at least leave me a note of your thoughts on, my project? Timeline of Internet conflicts.

For what its worth, my notes on what I envision the growth of that page as/scope is on the talk page. Basically a factual chronology of the online conflicts that shape the internet and its growth, ala how someone may do a break down of real world physical wars (which I actually would like to do after as a project if it hasn't been). Anywho, let me know what you think if you get a chance. rootology 23:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Richard Lewis (tenor)

Richard Lewis CBE (10 May 1914 – 13 November 1990) was an English tenor of Welsh parentage.

Life
Born Thomas Thomas in Manchester to Welsh parents, Lewis began his career as a boy soprano and studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music (now merged into the Royal Northern College of Music) from 1939 to 1941, and later at the Royal Academy of Music. He made his operatic debut in 1939, and from 1947 onwards, sang at the Glyndebourne Festival Opera and at Covent Garden (London). He made his debut in the United States in 1955.

Lewis made a number of recordings, including Messiah (Handel), L'incoronazione di Poppea (Monteverdi), Idomeneo (Mozart), Liebeslieder Walzer and Neue Liebeslieder Walzer (Brahms), Coleridge-Taylor's The Song of Hiawatha, Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius, Benjamin Britten's Spring Symphony (with Leonard Bernstein), scenes from William Walton's Troilus and Cressida, BBC Studio recording of The Mercy of Titus (La Clemenza di Tito) In English with Joan Sutherland, and four different performances of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, two with Maureen Forrester, (Reiner/Walter) one with Kathleen Ferrier (Barbirolli), and a fourth with Lili Chookasian (Ormandy). There is also a live recording with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra.

Lewis took the leading tenor roles in Sir Malcolm Sargent's "Glyndebourne" recordings of nine key Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas in the late 1950s and early 1960s where he worked with Elsie Morison and Marjorie Thomas.

In 1963, he was named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). He died in Eastbourne in 1990.

Legacy
Following Lewis's death in 1990 his widow, Elizabeth Lewis established the Richard Lewis/Jean Shanks award at Glyndebourne, made possible by funding from the pathologist Dr Jean Shanks (Princess Galitzine). In 2000 Elizabeth moved the award to the Royal Academy of Music wishing to help young singers at that more vulnerable time in their careers.

Gary Doherty

Gary Michael Thomas Doherty (born 31 January 1980) is an Irish former professional footballer who played as a defender, having previously also played as a forward. He gained international honours for the Republic of Ireland.

He began his career at Luton Town before having a spell with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, however, most of his career was with Norwich City, for whom he won the player of the year award. He finished his career with Wycombe Wanderers.

Luton Town
Doherty started his league career with Luton Town in 1997. He made 88 appearances in total over less than three seasons with the Hatters and became a Republic of Ireland international.

Tottenham Hotspur
Doherty was bought by Luton old boy David Pleat then Director of Football at Tottenham Hotspur for £1million in March 2000. He made his Spurs debut as a substitute in a 3–1 defeat at Manchester United in May 2000. He played in the team regularly during the 2000–01 season and scored his first goal against Newcastle United on 2 January 2001. Other highlights that season include a late winner against Leyton Orient in the FA Cup, giving his team the lead against North London rivals Arsenal in the 2001 FA Cup semi final. and scoring twice as Spurs came back from 2–0 down away to Sunderland to win 3–2. However, the following season started badly when he broke his leg in a League Cup match against Torquay United in September following a challenge from Eifion Williams. He returned before the end of the season but found it hard to break back into the side.

At Tottenham, Doherty eventually settled into a defensive role, and although he enjoyed probably his best spell after the turn of the year in 2003–04, he did not manage to consistently reach the form he exhibited before breaking his leg. Doherty signed a new contract of undisclosed length in March 2004. He was eventually sold by Tottenham's new management team of Frank Arnesen and Jacques Santini at the start of the 2004–05 season to newly promoted Norwich City for an undisclosed fee.

Norwich City
At Norwich City Doherty's career started well, with him having a regular place at the heart of the defence, but he lost his place in February to Jason Shackell and Norwich were eventually relegated. The following season, however, saw Doherty established as a regular choice at centre-back and his form and consistency improved considerably. Although Norwich had a difficult and disappointing 2005–06 season, the supporters recognised Doherty's contribution by voting him Norwich City player of the year.

Doherty signed a new contract at Carrow Road until summer 2008. The 2007–08 season also started off poorly for Doherty and was injured for 2 months in October. Doherty's contract expired, but he signed a new two-year deal on 1 July. He subsequently announced that his new squad number, 12, instead of 27 is intended to bring him luck: "It's all about superstition. Since I came to Norwich, my goal tally's been rubbish really. I used to wear 12 at Luton and Tottenham, and I used to be quite free-scoring during those times."

During the Canaries' 2008–09 pre-season tour, Doherty picked up an ankle injury that ruled him out for the first three months of the season. Having returned to the side, he scored his first league goal for more than three years on Boxing Day 2008 in a 3–1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Although Doherty was given the captaincy at the start of the 2009–10 season by Bryan Gunn, new manager Paul Lambert dropped him from the role immediately; and he was told he had no long-term future at the club. However, due to injuries Lambert was forced to recall Doherty to the side, and after this Doherty remained in the side for the rest of the season. He formed tight defensive partnerships with both Michael Nelson and Jens Berthel Askou and also scored seven goals in the process helping Norwich City to the League one title.

Doherty was named "man of the match" following Norwich's game against Leeds United on 27 March 2010.

At the end of the 2009–10 season, Doherty was named third in the player of the season award list, but on 14 May 2010 it was announced that he had been released by Norwich City. His agent Brendan Keyes was in talks with New York Red Bulls to bring Gary to MLS and a deal looked imminent but with terms not agreed Doherty stayed in England.

Charlton Athletic
On 5 July 2010, it was announced that Doherty had signed for Charlton Athletic after being released on a free transfer from Norwich City. Doherty became a regular in the Charlton side during the 2010–11 season but only made three appearances for the club in the 2011–12 season.

Wycombe Wanderers (loan)
On 24 February 2012, Doherty moved alongside Charlton teammate Paul Hayes to Wycombe Wanderers, who at the time, sat bottom of League 1. He was one of four new loanees that featured in the 5–0 win over Hartlepool. Doherty scored in the game to cap an impressive debut. He was later awarded with the Sponsor's Man of the Match.

Wycombe Wanderers
On 3 July 2012, Doherty signed for Wycombe Wanderers on a two-year contract after being released from Charlton. On 9 July 2012, Doherty was given the captain's armband. After two seasons with Wycombe, Doherty was forced to retire due to a knee injury sustained in the 2014–15 pre season.

International career
Doherty moved with his family to Luton in England at the age of six, but he came through the youth system of his native country, playing for the Republic of Ireland national under-19 football team in the 1997 UEFA European Under-18 Football Championship finals in Iceland scoring against France. He was also part of the UEFA Under-18 Championship winning side in 1998, and the Under-20 side that got to the last 16 of the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship.

Doherty primarily played as a forward for his country, making his international debut against Greece in April 2000. He was becoming a regular in the squad when he broke his leg in September 2001. He recovered in April 2002, scoring his first international goal against the United States, but he missed out on the squad for the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals. Doherty returned to the team for Ireland's unsuccessful Euro 2004 qualifying campaign, where he top scored with three goals. He played centre half numerous times for Ireland

In popular culture
Doherty is affectionately known by many fans as either "The Doc" or "Ginger Pelé" (which was immortalised by the publication of the football song/chants book: One Ginger Pele).

The 2010 song "Gary Doherty", by Norwich band "We Can't Dance", makes reference to newspapers giving Doherty a hard time and has a chorus consisting of his name, ending with the line "I don't care what they say about you anyway".

Lake Abbe

Lake Abbe, also known as Lake Abhe Bad, is a salt lake, lying on the Ethiopia-Djibouti border. It is one of a chain of six connected lakes, which also includes (from north to south) lakes Gargori, Laitali, Gummare, Bario and Afambo. The lake is the ultimate destination of the Awash River, which is at the center of the Afar Triangle. Lake Abbe is considered one of the most inaccessible areas of the earth. The water itself is known for its flamingos.

Overview
Lake Abbe is the ultimate destination of the waters of the Awash River. It lies at the Afar Triple Junction, the central meeting place for the three pieces of the Earth's crust, a defining feature of the Afar Depression. Here three pieces of Earth's crust are each pulling away from that central point, though not all at the same speed.

On the northwest shore rises Mount Dama Ali (1069 m), a dormant volcano, while along the southwestern and southern shores extend vast salt flats, 10 km in width. Besides the Awash, seasonal affluents of Lake Abbe include two wadis, the Oleldere and Abuna Merekes, which enter the lake from the west and south, crossing the salt flats. Although the present area of the lake's open water is 34000 ha, recent droughts and extraction of water from the Awash River for irrigation has caused the water level of the lake to fall. By 1984, the surface area of the lake had decreased to two thirds of what it was in 1940. During this period about 11500 hectare of saltflats had formed to the southwest of the lake. Lake Abbe is a hypersaline lake; water containing mineral salts flows in but there is no outflow, and pure water evaporates from the surface. It is also known as an "amplifier lake", the water level fluctuating dramatically in response to quite small changes in climate.

The Afar people have established a settlement near the lake's shore. Lake Abbe is known for its limestone chimneys, which reach heights of 50 m and from which steam spews forth. These carbonate chimneys are formed by the mixing of lake water and a deeper geothermal fluid. Flamingos can also be found on the waters.

Climate
The Lake Abbe's climate offers year-round sunny skies and dry air. It has less than 172 mm mean annual rainfall and a summer average temperature between 30 and 40 C. Temperatures in the coldest months range between 21 and 30 C on average.

Roy Keane
Hi Terence,

Just got a question about your edit to Roy Keane: "This caused much anguish in the English press as Keane had already booked himself in for a hip operation and was due to miss those three matches anyway." The way I remember it, he needed to have the operation sooner or later and United decided he might as well go in for it while he was suspended, rather than the suspension being arranged after he'd decided to go in. Are you sure it was the other way round?

CTOAGN 15:45, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

-- Hey there CTOAGN, thanks for the question! You might be right, it's hard to verify this and I'm depending on my memory for this, which is not the most reliable in the world! But if you are right, and he booked the operation after the game, I still think he knew exactly what he was doing. After the game, the press was full of pontification about how he was unable to control himself, etc, etc, but I think elbowing McAteer was a completely premeditated act. He waited till the last seconds of the game, hoping that United could score a winner, but when he reckoned they wouldn't and there was nothing for him to lose, he elbowed McAteer. It was a violent act, but it wasn't mindless, or "boiling over", or any of the other things it was called in the media. He just knew that there would be no consequences, not during the match, and not afterwards either, so it was in a way the perfect crime, because there could be no punishment. I think that's the main point I was trying to make with my edit. It's a very controversial moment in his career that I think has been misinterpreted because the English press has demonised him.

William Bentinck, 2nd Duke of Portland
Hi Laurie

I'm trying to understand your edits to William Bentinck, 2nd Duke of Portland - removing a lot of information but not saying why in your edit summaries or on the talk page of the article.

If you could explain your edits, they would have more chance of surviving - 3 editors have been involved reverting them so far and we could all be doing better things with a little bit of explanation from you!

If you're confused about editing or need any type of help, please drop me a line by editing my Talk page (click "hello" in the following signature) and I'll be happy to help you out! Cheers!  ●R EDVERS  HELLO ●  EMAIL  ●  DOINGS 19:19, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

 * To Redvers. It seemed obvious to me. The article contained a lot of badly formatted crap about the descendants of William Bentinck right down to Phil the Greek. Laurie has quite properly cut it back to William Bentick and his immediate offspring. -- RHaworth 20:06, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

 * To Laurie. Redvers makes a valid point above - use the edit summary (or talk page) to explain yourself. You do need to work on the quality in your articles. I have just rescued Charles Augustus Ellis, 6th Baron Howard de Walden from speedy deletion but he needs a lot of work: full stops at the end of sentences!; wikification; format, eg. proper layout of his children (now fixed); category; incoming links, etc. -- RHaworth 10:17, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

HRH Prince Muhammad bin Nawaf
Hi Laurie. Thanks for the email about HRH Prince Muhammad bin Nawaf. I have no idea what you want me to do with this information, as I have no interest in Saudi Arabia, especially not "news" that appears to be over 3 months old. Thanks anyway. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞

I was looking through the imforamtion of Embassies in the UK added to that, the names of theor Ambassaadors, the Saudi one has been changed from Prince Turku who has left London and now taking up the position of Ambassador to the USA It was trying to get the data updated by someone who may be in a position to do so on Geovernmental data.

 * Okay. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. If you've got new information, just add it (or change the original) to List of Ambassadors and High Commissioners to the United Kingdom and equivilant articles. Hope this helps. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 19:15, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Re Graham Parker ... I was writing off how I remember hearing the song, but I haven't heard it in years, so if you have a better handle on describing it, go ahead and change what I wrote. Wasted Time R 17:35, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

"Outside comment"
For purposes of an RfC, an "outside comment" simply means someone who is not directly party to the dispute in question. Whether or not that person has knowledge of the subject area of an at-issue page is not relevant. Neither does it matter whether you have a long or short edit history.

My only concern in reading your comment, and its peculiar tone, was that you might have been asked directly by Monicasdude to provide specific comments (or possibly were an actual sockpuppet for him; but I refrained from making such an unsupported claim in violatation of Wikiquette). You have stated that you are indeed a disinterested observer, and I happily accept that. I would urge you to read the dispute carefully—it is not about judging the relative subject expertise of editors, but rather about what JDG and I (or any other certifiers who might join) perceive as inappropriate Wikipedia conduct.

Hi...when you want to correct the spelling of a category name, could you please keep in mind that it's not really the best process to simply add the correctly spelled category to the articles while simultaneously leaving the incorrectly spelled name on the same articles? You should replace the wrong category name with the right one; an even better idea would be to list it for renaming on the "speedy renaming" section of CFD, where it can be done automatically by a bot, saving you a bunch of work. Thanks. Bearcat 10:12, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

 * There's also a categoryredirect template that can be used in a situation like that, so that people can still get to the correct category from the incorrect one if they don't know how to type the special ü character. And there's a bot that automatically runs a few times a day to move articles that are filed in a redirected category (the only restriction is that the last edit on the category has to be made by an administrator). So all you would really have to do is create the correct category, and then contact an administrator to put the categoryredirect template on the old one. (Well, you could put it on yourself, too...but an administrator would still have to make a further edit so the bot could run.)

 * So basically...never fear. This place is a process factory, so we have ways to do almost anything that needs to be done :-) Bearcat 18:42, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Clothing bin

A clothing bin is a container in which clothing is placed to be donated to charity organizations (e.g., the Salvation Army or The Smith Family) or for recycling in other ways. They can be provided by local authorities or the charities themselves but sometimes only bear the name of a charity through a licensing or revenue sharing agreement. The majority of clothing bins in Chicago, for instance, are for-profit. In 2015, a collection company in Yonkers was fined $700,000 for not disclosing the for-profit nature of their bin.

Bins are often vandalised or filled with unsuitable materials (including rubbish). These are costly for the organizations concerned to dispose of, and this misuse has at times led to bins being withdrawn. On-the-spot fines are often threatened through signs on the bins. In 2022, authorities in Sydney, Australia reported that they had so far collected $70,750 in fines from a single bin in Bondi Beach. A woman in Stourport, United Kingdom was fined £400 for leaving bags outside a bin which did not have a warning sign but had her fine changed to a caution after she appealed.

Homeless people have been known to climb into donation bins for shelter or to retrieve items but the most common bin design makes this dangerous. Eight such deaths were recorded in Canada between 2015 and 2019 and "easily a dozen" occurred in the United States over the preceding decade.

Admiral's Cup

The Admiral's Cup was an international yachting regatta. For many years it was known as the unofficial world championship of offshore racing.

The Admiral's Cup regatta was started in 1957 and was normally a biennial event (occurring in odd-numbered years) which was competed for between national teams. However the event was not staged in 2001 and was last held in 2003. It was cancelled at short notice in 2005.

The 2003 event did not follow the normal format and allowed entries from any yacht club affiliated to a national authority, thus allowing the possibility of several teams per country.

The regatta was based at Cowes on the Isle of Wight off southern England and was organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club.

History: 1957–1999
From 1957 to 1999 the cup was competed for between national teams, each having three boats. Initially only Great Britain and the United States took part but, in later years, many other teams also participated. The Fastnet race was part of the Admiral's Cup during this time.

The Australians won for the first time in 1967, the winning boat—Mercedes III—designed by Ted Kaufman and Bob Miller (later Ben Lexcen), who went on to success in the America's Cup.

In 1971 the British Prime Minister, Edward Heath, captained one of the winning boats.

Recent history
The 2003 event, the last held, was planned to be based in Dún Laoghaire in Ireland, but this was changed at short notice for reasons that are still unclear. In addition, instead of being a competition between national teams, the event was competed between yacht clubs, each with two boats.

The 2005 event was cancelled only months before the event was to be held, after only two teams had entered.

Although the RORC (Royal Ocean Racing Club) was looking into reviving the event for 2011, this did not happen.

RORC has announced the event will run in July 2025.

Without a Sound

Without a Sound is the sixth studio album by alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr., released on August 23, 1994. It is the first Dinosaur Jr. album not to feature Murph on drums, who is replaced by vocalist and guitarist J Mascis. It is also their most commercially successful album, peaking at number 44 on the Billboard Top 200. "Feel the Pain" and "I Don't Think So" were released as singles, with "Feel the Pain" reaching number 4 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, becoming one of their biggest hits. Mascis later admitted that his father's death affected his writing and performance on this album, and he took three years to deliver the next Dinosaur Jr. LP, 1997's Hand It Over.

"Feel the Pain" is a playable track in the video games Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2.

Production and background
J Mascis said he had a hard time writing the album because his father had died around the time they were making the album. The cover artwork is a painting by former professional skateboarder Neil Blender, an early fan and friend of the band. The album title comes from a lyric in the song "Even You".

Reception
In July 2014, Guitar World put Without a Sound in their "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994" list.

The closing song "Over Your Shoulder" was frequently used on the Japanese boxing reality show Gachinko Fight Club. In February 2019, 25 years after the album's release, "Over Your Shoulder" unexpectedly charted at #18 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 based on digital streaming. The phenomenon was credited to YouTube postings of clips from Gachinko Fight Club registered as containing the song. For a period, clips from the series — which was a segment of a Japanese variety show — had frequently been favored by YouTube's algorithmic suggestions in Japan for unknown reasons.

Track listing
All songs by J Mascis.

2019 remaster bonus tracks
In 2019, the album was reissued as an expanded 2-CD deluxe edition that contained bonus tracks, including a recording of a full live performance at Brixton Academy on October 8, 1994. A double vinyl version was also released, albeit with a smaller selection of bonus tracks.

Tennis at the Summer Olympics

Tennis was part of the Summer Olympic Games program from the inaugural 1896 Summer Olympics, but was dropped after the 1924 Summer Olympics due to disputes between the International Lawn Tennis Federation and the International Olympic Committee over how to define amateur players. After two appearances as a demonstration sport in 1968 and 1984 (with a U-21 age limit), it returned as a full medal sport at the 1988 Summer Olympics open for all players regardless of their age and status and has been played at every summer Games since then.

Medals
In 1896, 1900, 1904, 1988, 1992, semifinal losers shared bronze medals. In all other years, a playoff match for the bronze medal was staged. The Olympic tournaments have increased in perceived importance since their reintroduction, with some players, critics and sports pundits considering winning gold at the Olympics just as prestigious as winning a major title and some considering it even more prestigious.

Gold medal records
Serena Williams and Venus Williams have each won a record four gold medals, three each as a doubles pairing, the only players to win the same Olympic event on three occasions. Venus Williams (four gold, one silver) and Kathleen McKane Godfree (one gold, two silvers, and two bronzes) are the all-time record holders for the most Olympic tennis medals, with five each. Andy Murray is the only player to have won two singles gold medals, and the only singles player to have retained the Olympic title. Nicolás Massú, Venus Williams, and Serena Williams are the only players in the Open Era to win both the singles and same-sex doubles tournaments at one Games, doing so in 2004, 2000, and 2012 respectively.

Golden Slams
A player who wins an Olympic or Paralympic gold medal and all four majors in the same year is said to have won a Golden Slam, while a player that has won all four Grand Slam titles and Olympic gold during their career has a 'career Golden Slam'. As of 2021, Steffi Graf is the only player to have won a single-year Golden Slam, in 1988. Serena Williams and Pam Shriver are the only two players to complete career Golden Slam in doubles twice. In men's tennis, Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal have each won career Golden Slams. Multiple doubles players have achieved the feat, with Serena Williams the only player to complete the career Grand Slam in both singles and doubles. In 2021, wheelchair tennis players Diede de Groot and Dylan Alcott achieved the equivalent wheelchair tennis prize with Paralympic gold.

Tiebreaker games

Since 2021, the deciding set (third) has a 7-point tiebreaker game to decide the match at 6-all. Should the tiebreaker game be tied at 6-all, whoever scores two straight points wins it.

Surface
The playing surface of the court varies between Olympic Games. It has been on hard court for every game since 1984 except for the 1992 Olympics (which was on a clay court), the 2012 Olympics (which was played on a grass court) and the 2024 Olympics (which will be on a clay court). The changing playing surface gives certain players different advantages and disadvantages not seen in most other Olympic sports.

Bjarne Reuter

Bjarne Reuter (born 29 April 1950) is a Danish writer and screenwriter best known for children's and young adult fiction. Many of his works are set in the 1950s and 1960s, the time of his childhood and adolescence. Many also feature the Copenhagen area, where he was born in Brønshøj. Reuter is the screenwriter of the popular Danish television series and movie Busters verden ("Buster's World").

In 1977 he was awarded with the Danish Ministry of Culture's children book prize. He won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis for best children's book in 2000, recognising the German-language edition of En som Hodder (1998), and was a finalist for the youth book prize in 2003, for the work published in English as The Ring of the Slave Prince (2004).

Talk:Repulsion (band)

Black metal?

Although Repulsion's crust punk approach is somewhat similar to the punkish approach of a number of minimal black metal bands, I don't think it would be accurate to state that Repulsion had a "significant impact" on the black metal scene.

Orphaned references in Repulsion (band)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Repulsion (band)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "terrorizer": From Grindcore: "Powerviolence: The Dysfunctional Family of Bllleeeeaaauuurrrgghhh!!". Terrorizer no. 172. July 2008. p. 36-37. From Hardcore punk:  From List of grindcore bands: Schwarz, Paul, "Death Metal|Death/Grind" (2006). Terrorizer #150, p. 54.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:46, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Genre discussion
Hello Issan Sumisu,

Obviously, I take issue with your take on this. 🙂 When the author of the article, Andy O'Connor, states, "they were pushing thrash and punk into limits that would become the blueprints for grindcore music" what do you read?

The standard way to read this is, "the band's style was thrash and punk that they then (the word "would" implies "in the future") pushed into something new." This new genre is what is now referred to as grindcore. It seems pretty clear in what he writes. The band also eludes to this in their Voicesfromthedarkside interview that their members were "Thrash", and state how thrash metal bands like Exodus were influences. But I've been reminded that what band members say about themselves genre-wise does not count.

Lastly, their origin was as "a metal act covering Bay Area thrash metal bands, such as Slayer and Metallica."

I feel you are not reading the reference correctly. That said, how about we include the thrash metal genre, but do as I've often seen done, list it as "thrash metal (early)"? – ░▒▓ №∶72.234.220.38 (talk) 20:48, 7 June 2020 (UTC) ▓▒░

 * I don't have any problem with its inclusion and I'm definitely aware that many consider their pre-recording music to be thrash, it just that it seems to me like that source is saying their style, which would later be termed grindcore, was an expansion of the sound of thrash and punk. If you'd like to use a source to include this I think that A History of Heavy Metal by Andrew O'Neill would be better as it says "Repulsion began like as a thrash metal cover band called Tempter", however it does also says they "played in a hardcore punk in a hardcore punk style and wrote songs heavily influenced by Slayer". So if thrash were to be included then hardcore would as well, to be neutral. Issan Sumisu (talk) 07:59, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I see your point. As you know, it gets so fuzzy when one gets back to the original sound of a band.  Glad you found the "A History of Heavy Metal" reference.  I think we can agree that they just didn't start out as grindcore from day one, that evolved.  So what were they at the start?  Thrash – I'm sure (but my opinion don't count 😉), hardcore, yeah, I'd say that too.  But I also hate having overfilled genre fields!  I did note that a couple years ago you were not happy about using the "early" tag. So, you okay with adding both with cites?  I see you feel passionately about genres & willing to go to war for your beliefs (or at least be accüsed of it. 😃) Hookem hand.svg – ░▒▓ №∶72.234.220.38 (talk) 08:28, 8 June 2020 (UTC) ▓▒░

 * I've always liked early tags as long as their sourced, I'll go ahead and add it though as it seems like we've reached a consensus. 09:13, 8 June 2020 (UTC)Issan Sumisu (talk)

 * Awesome, looks good. Thanks.  If you're into the band, there's another interview I found, it's linked to at Reference #2 here. Details more of the early times. Regards.– ░▒▓ №∶72.234.220.38 (talk) 10:18, 8 June 2020 (UTC) ▓▒░

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Happy editing!

Enforce during edit
This would seem to be the best option, but it would also need to somehow be applied to page moves. Would it be possible to automatically change the redirects when a page is moved (just as the page from which it is moved is automatically changed to a redirect itself)? -- BD2412 talk 17:41, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes I believe this is possible (but I am not a Mediawiki dev). I hope to give this study to the developers after some comments come in. I'll be sure to integrate your notes, they are good. Thanks! Triddle 18:03, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you! -- BD2412 talk 01:02, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, I believe it is very possible to detect and change redirects to a page when it is moved. The SQL/PHP to do this would be rather elementary.  I would write an example, but I have no idea how the database for Wikipedia is structured.  Definately a good idea, and one that should be implemented. --Anorris 23:47, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * Sounds feasible and it's something that I don't think anybody would oppose. I'd suggest you contact the developers. Radiant_ >|< 11:56, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

Bugzilla
If there's support for Mediawiki software changes, someone will eventually need to file a feature request in MediaZilla. -- Beland 22:45, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Added feature request
See http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3747 for the feature request that points to this page. Triddle 16:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Not all cases are alike
I think the main problem with the software "enforcing" changes to redirects is that not all of those changes would actually be correct or desired. And there's also no one action which creates redirects; consider the following:
 * If a user creates a new redirect, and the target is also a redirect, the software could fairly trivially disallow the edit, with an appropriate message.
 * But if a user turns a page of content into a redirect, and there are redirects pointing at that page, the software would need to accept the edit and "propogate" it by changing all the redirects. That's possible, but it might be surprising [and potentially disruptive] behaviour for such a simple action to have such far-reaching consequences. We have no other feature I can think of which involves changing multiple pages in one swift edit like this.
 * If a page is moved, and there are redirects pointing to it, they probably need to point directly to the new title, so could be automatically "fixed" - subject to the "surprising side-effects" mentionned above.
 * But: if a page is moved to make way for a new one at the old name, the redirects pointing to the old name may need to point to either of the two "new" articles (either the one with the same name, or the one with the same content), so need manual attention.
 * Also, if the move was mistaken, or deliberately temporary for some reason, the automatic changes would be, at the very least, a waste of time. They'd also presumably show up as unnecessary edits on recentchanges, and watchlists.

In previous discussions (e.g. bug 2402, this mediawiki-l discussion) I came to the conclusion that a built-in facility for fixing double redirects - perhaps offered during page moves, as well as as a general tool - would be extremely useful, but that it should only assist a user in carrying out the task. It could be as straight-forward as a series of checkboxes to confirm each fix, but it shouldn't just happen silently. And to minimise misuse (deliberate and accidental) we might want to limit the tool to some subset of users - either admins-only, or some more inclusive subset of users (is "move page" still blocked for completely new users?)

In other words, while we can automate the process, we shouldn't automate the decisions. - IMSoP 22:14, 19 October 2005 (UTC) [in "verbose" mode this evening; as usual ;)]

 * Thanks for the comments; I think what ever can help is good. I've realized that double redirect cleanup (as it stands right now) is better suited to a bot so the human editors can spend time doing things that require more human based decisions. As such I think this will be the last human powered double redirect cleanup project I organize. Unfortunately I don't have time to write up a bot to do the cleanup but I'm sure someone else will get to it eventually. I think there is a very real danger that when the double-redirects aren't so prominent that they'll be forgotten again and considering they impact the user experience I think that would be a darn shame.

Bot work
User:Kakashi Bot is in the process of getting approval from Wikipedia talk:Bots to automatically fix most double redirects. -- Beland 08:04, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

prevention better than cure - merge cases
Whenever we move a page, we are reminded to check for double re-directs and fix them, if any. However, whenever we merge two articles, and convert one of them into a re-direct, we do not get reminded to check for double re-directs. We should probably be reminded whenever a re-direct is made so that this problem can be remedied by the initiator of the re-direct himself. I have placed this suggestion on Wikipedia talk:Double redirects as well but not much action has taken place on that page of late. --Gurubrahma 10:49, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Allow double redirects but detect true redirect loops?
My understanding is that the MediaWiki software doesn't automatically follow a second redirect only to avoid entering a cycle of redirects. It seems the real solution is for MediaWiki to go ahead an keep following redirects until it actually detects a cycle rather than just stopping after the second. Is anyone working on this? SuperDude mentioned this on the double redirects talk page.

If this was implemented, I think in some cases it may be reasonable to allow double redirects to exist. As an example, the article Little oh used to redirect to Little O notation. Little O notation redirects to Big O notation, since there is currently no article specifically about little O notation and big O notation is the most closely related concept.

It seems to me that if MediaWiki would follow these redirects correctly, then this situation is preferable to having Little oh redirect to Big O notation. This way if an article is ever created that deals with little O notation specifically, then Little oh would already redirect to the best article.

This particular case isn't important, of course, but there may be other cases like that.

Make The Software Do It Automatically
Why can't the wikipedia software check for double redirects when someone moves a page, and automatically rectify the problem? --Username132 (talk) 11:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
