Lin Onus

Lin Onus (4 December 1948 – 23 October 1996), born William McLintock Onus and also known as Lin Burralung McLintock Onus, was an Australian artist of Scottish-Aboriginal origins. He was the son of activist Bill Onus.

Early life
William McLintock Onus was born at St. George's Hospital, Kew, Melbourne on 4 December 1948 His father William Townsend Onus Jr (Bill), a Yorta Yorta man, became the founder of the Aboriginal Advancement League and was the first Aboriginal JP, dying in 1968, a year after a long campaign bore fruit – the success of the referendum giving the national government responsibility for Aboriginal affairs and including Aboriginal people in the determination of the country's population.

Onus was educated in the 1950s and 1960s at Deepdene Primary School and Balwyn High School in Melbourne, Victoria. He was largely a self-taught urban artist who, after being expelled from Balwyn High School for fighting, became a mechanic and spray painter, before making artefacts for the tourist market with his father's business, Aboriginal Enterprise Novelties.

Career
Onus became a successful painter, sculptor and printmaker.

The works of Onus often involve symbolism from Aboriginal styles of painting, along with recontextualisation of contemporary artistic elements. The images in his works include haunting portrayals of the Barmah red gum forests of his father's ancestral country, and the use of rarrk cross-hatching-based painting style that he learnt (and was given permission to use) when visiting the Indigenous communities of Maningrida in 1986.

His most famous work, Michael and I are just slipping down to the pub for a minute, has been featured on a postcard, and is a reference to his colleague, artist Michael Eather. The painting is of a dingo riding on the back of a stingray which is meant to symbolise his mother's and father's cultures combining in reconciliation. The image of the wave is borrowed from The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1832), by Japanese printmaker, Katsushika Hokusai.

Honours and awards

 * 1993: Member of the Order of Australia "for service to the arts as a painter and sculptor and to the promotion of aboriginal artists and their work"
 * 1994: National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Art Award, for Barmah Forest (A$17,000)
 * 2012: Inducted to the Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll

Exhibitions
A major retrospective of Onus' work, entitled Urban Dingo: The Art of Lin Onus (Burrinja) 1948-1996, was held at Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in Sydney in 2000. Curated by Margo Neale and organised by the Queensland Art Gallery, it was developed before his death and staged with the assistance of his family.

Major collections

 * Art Gallery of New South Wales
 * Holmes à Court Collection

Film
Lin Onus was credited for the sound production on a 1972 film called Blackfire, directed by Bruce McGuinness, which was thought to be the first film made by an Indigenous Australian. However, the discovery of a short film made by Lin's father Bill made in 1946 in 2021 has put this claim into doubt.

Death and legacy
Lin Onus died suddenly of a heart attack on 23 October 1996 at the age of 47 in Melbourne. He was cremated and his ashes scattered at the Cummeragunja cemetery on the NSW-Victorian border.

The youth award in the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Art Award was renamed the Lin Onus Youth Prize from 1998.

Posthumous apology
On 8 December 2000, as part of Aboriginal reconciliation, Peter Bond, Principal of Balwyn High School, at the school presentation night at Dallas Brooks Hall, issued a posthumous apology to Lin Onus for being expelled from Balwyn High School in the early 1960s.

Family
Onus was married twice, first to Rosemary Smith and then to Jo Kloster. He had a son with Rosemary and a daughter, and with Jo he had a son, Tiriki Onus.

Tiriki became an opera singer and filmmaker. He made a documentary film about his grandfather Bill Onus, released in 2021, called Ablaze, in which he describes his discovery of a 1946 short film made by him. Tiriki, a bass baritone singer, is head of the Wilin Centre for Indigenous Arts and Cultural Development at the Victorian College of the Arts. His first role in opera was as his grandfather, in the premiere of Deborah Cheetham’s Pecan Summer in 2010 at Mooroopna.

Emilie Högquist

Emilie Sophie Högquist or Högqvist (29 April 1812 – 18 December 1846) was a Swedish stage actress. She was a star of the Royal Dramatic Theatre and has been referred to as the first celebrity within Swedish drama and known as the Swedish Aspasia, both for her artistic ability but also for the literary salon she hosted. She is also known in history for her love affair with King Oscar I of Sweden.

Life
Emilie Högquist was the daughter of Anders Högquist, butler of count Carl De Geer, and Anna Beata Hedvall. She was the sister of actors Jean Högquist and Hanna Högquist.

Early life
In 1821, she was enrolled in the ballet school of the Royal Dramatic Training Academy by her mother. At the school, she was a student of Karolina Bock. During her tenure as a student, she participated in the Selinderska Barntheatern, a children's theatre managed by Anders Selinder.

Emilie Högquist was early in life subject of prostitution. The profession of her father exposed her to the interest of male members of the upper classes, and her mother was known to host balls, to which she invited students from the acting school, including her daughter, and introduced them to rich men. Furthermore, the Royal Dramatic Theatre also hosted balls in which men could pay for the privilege to dance with a student of the Royal Dramatic Training Academy. Both the balls given by her mother and the theater balls were regarded with some suspicion, because the situation in which rich men was introduced to poor female student artists was considered to give opportunity for prostitution. This is known to have occurred in certain cases, and in the case of Emilie Högquist, she was known to have been prostituted by her mother, who introduced her to a rich, elder male patron in 1826, after having ended her term at the acting school at the age of 14.

August Blanche once remarked of the mother of Emilie Högquist: "God save every child from a mother like that!"

Between 1826 and 1828, she toured Sweden as a member of the travelling theater company of Anders Petter Berggren. Upon her return to the capital in 1828, she was engaged at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm.

Career
Emilie Högquist made her debut at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in the play Qväkaren in 1828, and was given a contract in 1831.

During the first years of her career, she was criticized for her weak and shrill voice and described as insecure in her movements onstage. In 1834, however, she made a trip to Paris, where she studied the contemporary French acting methods, after which she is said to have improved, learned how to act with more self assurance onstage, how to dress with more skill in accordance to her roles, and acquired a better control of her voice. Upon her return, an important opportunity to demonstrate herself was given when star actress Sara Torsslow, famed as the leading "sentimental actress" and comedienne of the Royal Dramatic Theatre, left after the actors' strike of 1834, after which a replacement had to be found to fill the roles otherwise normally allotted to Torsslow, and after the star actress Charlotta Eriksson had been unable to perform them satisfyingly, as they were not of her genre. Emilie Högvist was given the chance, and with such success that she reportedly won over not only Torrslow's old admirers, but also acquired a wide circle of admirers of her own, and she was from this year regarded as "one of the most celebrated and often performing actresses" of the Royal Dramatic Theatre.

She made a second study trip to Paris in the summer of 1837, during which she took lessons from Mademoiselle Mars, whom she admired as a role model, after which her inborn talent is said to have blossomed fully, and she was reportedly received with great enthusiasm by the audience upon her return to Stockholm for the 1837–38 season. Her salary can illustrate her rise in career; in 1835, Emilie Högquist had reached a wage of 1.200, while the minimum salary of an average actress was 200, and the prima donna of the Royal Swedish Opera, Henriette Widerberg was given a salary of 1.600.

Emilie Högquist was foremost celebrated in the roles within the then fashionable genre of French salon comedies, often plays by Eugène Scribe, and "excelled within graceful coquetry and lovable spirituality" - she is said to have succeeded best within comedy, where her "soft personality and unconventional acting celebrated triumphs.  She was not only respected as an artist, but her beauty also attracted great attention, and Fritz von Dardel described her, "This actress, was perhaps even more famed for her beauty and her graces than for her talent. She was very tall and thin, with a skin of rose and lily, fine features and beautiful blond hair, and she was additionally good humored and pleasant."  Among her most acclaimed roles were Qväkaren och dansaren (Quaker and the dancer) by Eugéne Scribe, Shakspears Kär (Shakespeare's Love), Jeanne d'Arc in Jungfrun av Orleans (Maid of Lorraine) by Schiller, the title role of Mary Stuart (play) and Ophelia in Hamlet.    In the summer of 1839, she made a third study trip to Paris, and upon her return, she brought with her the comedy Richelieus första vapenbragd (First combat of Richelieu) by Bayard and Dumanoir, which she translated to Swedish and in which she was praised for her breeches role of the young duke de Richelieu (1842).  She is noted to have performed 125 roles in the theater during her career in 1828–45, and she also made tours in Finland.

She made her last performance on 7 December 1845. In the theatre, she was replaced by Zelma Hedin. She was one of the three famous Swedish artistes who were officially celebrated in a memorial of famous Swedish actors in 1847.

Private life
In 1831–33, Emilie Högquist had an affair with the British diplomat John Bloomfield, 2nd Baron Bloomfield, who installed her in an apartment and with whom she had a daughter, Tekla, in October 1833.

Reportedly, the King, Charles XIV John of Sweden, financed Emilie Högquist's study trip to Paris in the summer of 1834, because his son Crown Prince Oscar had fallen in love with her and the King wished to have her removed. Upon her return to Stockholm, however, Oscar and Emilie had become lovers, and in the autumn on 1836, Oscar paid for Emilie Högquist to be installed in a "magnificent entrapment" at the Gustaf Adolfstorg 18, and was known for its "Asian luxury". Reportedly, Crown Prince Oscar alternated in his nights between his "first family" in the Stockholm Palace, and his "second family" at Gustaf Adolfstorg 18 close by. Emilie and Oscar had two sons, Hjalmar and Max. Max was named for Maximilian de Beauharnais, Oscar's brother-in-law. The two boys were unofficially referred to as "the Princes of Lapland". Max grew up to become a merchant in China, where he died in 1872. Hjalmar died in 1874 in London.

Emilie Högquist was an intellectual and hosted a literary salon every Thursday for the Swedish art world of painters and authors. Notably, most of the guests at her salons were men, as women were afraid to be associated with her privately because of her reputation as a courtesan. Some exceptions were noted, such as Malla Höök and Elise Frösslind. She spent her summers at Framnäs on Djurgården. Though she died greatly in debt, the support of Crown Prince Oscar liberated her from any financial troubles and she was active within charity. She is noted to have acted as the patron of her brother Jean (Johan Isak) Högquist (1814–1850), who was a popular actor for a while, but did not manage his career because of his alcoholism. Emilie Högquist paid for his trip to the United States, but he returned on the year of her death, which is said to have affected him deeply, and he died just three years later. She is also noted to have supported former operatic singer Henriette Widerberg, who lived in deep poverty after her career had ended.

From 1842 onward, Emilie Högquist suffered from the health problems of a progressing consumption, and spent the summer in Rome, where she was celebrated by the Swedish art colony. Her health recovered, and upon her return, she visited her daughter and sons in Hamburg and met Emil Key, who was 10 years her junior, and became her last lover.

In the summer of 1845, she made a health journey to Carlsbad, but her illness had progressed to a point where she was no longer able to recover sufficiently to manage her work, and her last season of 1845-46 was a failure; after her last performance in December 1845, she was bedridden until May 1846. In July 1846, she left Sweden in an attempt to seek a cure for her consumption in a number of health resorts in Germany and Switzerland before continuing to Italy; she finally died in Turin 18 December 1846.

In fiction
The relationship between Emilie Högquist and Oscar I was portrayed in the film Emilie Högquist starring Signe Hasso and Georg Rydeberg (1939), one of the most expensive made in Sweden during the 1930s.

Sarmila Bose

Sarmila Bose is an Indian-American journalist, academic and lawyer. She has served as a senior research associate at the Centre for International Studies in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. She is the author of Dead Reckoning: Memories of the 1971 Bangladesh War, a controversial book on the Bangladesh Liberation War.

Early life and education
Bose belongs to an ethnic Bengali family with extensive involvement in national politics in India. She is the grandniece of Indian nationalist Subhas Chandra Bose, granddaughter of nationalist Sarat Chandra Bose, and daughter of former Trinamool Congress parliamentarian Krishna Bose and paediatrician Sisir Kumar Bose.

Bose was born in Boston in 1959, but grew up in Calcutta, India, where she attended Modern High School for Girls.

She returned to the US for higher studies. She obtained a bachelor's degree in history from Bryn Mawr College, a master's degree in public administration from the Harvard Kennedy School, and a PhD in Political Economy and Government from Harvard University.

After her doctorate, she has held teaching and research positions at Harvard University, Warwick University, George Washington University, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, and Oxford University. She has also worked in journalism, writing in both Bengali and English.

Works
In her book, Dead Reckoning: Memories of the 1971 Bangladesh War, Bose claims that atrocities were committed by both sides in the 1971 Bangladesh War, but that memories of the atrocities had been "dominated by the narrative of the victorious side", pointing to Indian and Bangladeshi "myths" and "exaggerations" which were not historically or statistically plausible. While the book does not exonerate the West Pakistani forces, it claims that the army officers "turned out to be fine men doing their best to fight an unconventional war within the conventions of warfare". The book was criticized by Columbia University professor Naeem Mohaiemen in BBC and Economic & Political Weekly  for ahistorical bias in sources. She has responded to three of her critics — Naeem Mohaiemen, Urvashi Butalia, and Srinath Raghavan.

She has also authored Money, Energy, and Welfare: the state and the household in India's rural electrification policy, published by Oxford University Press in 1993.

Personal life and family
Bose has trained in Indian music and has performed in Calcutta.

Bose's brother, Sumantra Bose, teaches at the London School of Economics. Her brother Sugata Bose was a member of Indian parliament from 2014 to 2019.

John Bartholomew

John Bartholomew Jr (25 December 1831 – 30 March 1893) was a Scottish cartographer.

Life
Bartholomew was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, John Bartholomew Sr, started the cartographical establishment in Edinburgh, and he was trained in the firm. He was subsequently assistant to the German geographer August Petermann, until 1856 when he took up the management of his father's company. For this establishment, Bartholomew built up a reputation unsurpassed in Great Britain for the production of the finest cartographical work.

He is best known for the commercial development of colour contouring (or hypsometric tints), the system of representing altitudes on a graduated colour scale, with areas of high altitude in shades of brown and areas of low altitude in shades of green. He first showcased his colour contouring system at the Paris Exhibition of 1878; although it was initially met with skepticism, it went on to become a standard cartographical practice.

Among his numerous publications, particularly worthy of note is the series of maps of Great Britain reduced from the Ordnance Survey to scales of half-inch and quarter-inch to 1 mile, with relief shown by contour lines and hypsometric tints. The half-inch series is among the finest of its kind ever produced.

Upon his retirement in 1888, John Bartholomew was succeeded in the firm by his son John George, who extended the half-inch series, and applied its principles to many other works. For the last six years of his life Bartholomew was living at 32 Royal Terrace in Edinburgh.

Bartholomew died in London on 30 March 1893. He is buried with his parents in Grange Cemetery in Edinburgh, in the northwest section. His wife Annie McGregor (1836–1872), whom he greatly outlived, is also buried there.

Victoria, Labuan

Victoria (Bandar Victoria), sometimes known as Bandar Labuan, is the capital of the Federal Territory of Labuan in Malaysia, an island group off the north coast of Borneo. It is in the southeast corner of Labuan and its Malay name, Bandar Victoria, is commonly used to honour the reign of Queen Victoria. The town is an urban district within the wider city limits of Victoria which includes Labuan Port, a sheltered deep-water harbour which is an important trans-shipment point for Brunei Darussalam, northern Sarawak and western Sabah.

Ethymology
Victoria was named after Queen Victoria, who was the queen of the British Empire and British Malaya from the 20th of June 1837 to the 22nd of Janurary 1901. Many former members of the British Empire also followed this name - For example, the Australian Victoria.

History
Since the 15th century, the town area including other parts of Labuan were under the Bruneian Empire. Its history dates back to the time when the island was ceded by Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin II to the British. Rodney Mundy, a British naval officer, later visited the island in the name of Queen Victoria. The island was then occupied by Japan from 3 January 1942 until June 1945 and governed as part of the Northern Borneo military unit by the Japanese 37th Army. During the Battle of Labuan it was liberated by the 9th Division of Australian Imperial Force on 10 June 1945 and placed under a British Military Administration until 15 July 1946, when it was incorporated into the North Borneo Crown Colony. During this time, the Crown Colony government re-established much of the infrastructure that had been destroyed during the war. The island later became part of the state of Sabah and Malaysia in 1963 before the state government of Sabah ceded the island to the federal government in 1984. It was declared an international offshore financial centre and free trade zone in 1990 to assist the development of Victoria.

Economy
The major products produced on Labuan and exported through Labuan Port include copra, rubber and sago. The port is on a natural deep-water bay where large vessels can anchor as it is sheltered from typhoons. Vessels received include containers, bulk, and general cargoes. The main jetty is 244 metres long with an alongside depth of 8.5 metres and it can accommodate vessels to 16,000 DWT. The wharf has four berths. There are about 15,600 m² available in open storage, two warehouses and a container yard. A 10,000 m² yard and warehouses are available outside the port. Its capacity is 100,000 TEUs of containerised cargo per annum. Five private jetties are installed: the Shell Jetty that specialises in petroleum; the Iron Ore Jetty; the Methanol Jetty; and two offshore wheat and maize jetties called the Asian Supply Base Jetty and the Sabah Flour Mill Jetty.

Victoria's Financial Park along Jalan Merdeka houses offshore teams of international banks, insurance and trust companies. Victoria is an offshore support hub for deepwater oil and gas activities in the region. In 2012, Victoria had a population of over 85,000 with nearly half of those coming from elsewhere in Malaysia and from Brunei Darussalam. It has a 1,500-seat convention hall adjoining a large shopping mall; these form a modern complex which enhances Victoria's status among International Offshore Financial Centres.

Climate
Victoria, Labuan features a tropical rainforest climate (Af), which is true for virtually all of Malaysia due to its close proximity to the equator, with constantly high temperatures and abundant rainfall over the course of the year. Like all cities and town with this climate, there is no dry season and the temperature in the city averages 27.8 C, while the average annual rainfall is 3413 mm.

Sister city
Victoria currently has one sister city:
 * Xianning, China

Steve Mason (musician)

Steve Mason (born 17 April 1975) is a Scottish guitarist, singer, writer, and activist. He came to prominence in the late 90s as the lead singer and one of the founding members of The Beta Band. Mason created King Biscuit Time as a side project during his time in The Beta Band, and then took the name again after the group split in 2004. After a diversion as Black Affair, Mason began his solo career in 2009.

He has now released five solo albums, as well as collaborations with Denis Bovell and Martin Duffy.

The Beta Band and King Biscuit Time (1996–2004)
Mason started his music career as the lead singer and one of the founding members of The Beta Band, formed in 1996. The band released four albums, and gained international notoriety when they were referenced in the film of Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity when John Cusack’s character states he can sell five copies of "The Three EP's" by The Beta Band. The track he selects to achieve this is "Dry the Rain". Astralwerks, the band’s US label stated sales quadrupled after the release of the film. During the group’s time together, Mason was one of the first artists to speak of his depression openly. In late 2004, after a short farewell tour, they split.

During the Beta Band era, Steve appeared on TV shows including The Adam & Joe Show (2001) and Never Mind the Buzzcocks (2005).

Mason released solo material as King Biscuit Time, including two EPs on Regal Records during The Beta Band's existence. 2000’s No Style EP was described by NME as “wonderfully erratic ambles into crisp electronica, soft strumming, sleepy beats and his doleful singing about love, virtue, surviving and being comfortably glum". After The Beta Band split in 2004, Mason released one album as King Biscuit Time, Black Gold, on No Style Records, an imprint of Alan McGee's Poptones record label. Mason announced the end of King Biscuit Time before the album's release, and cancelled a subsequent tour, posting on his website “Peace to you all, I’m out of here. It’s been amazing but I’ve had enough. Over and out. Steve xxx.” The Guardian called Black Gold a “vital, dolorous treasure” and that Mason’s “creative well seems bottomless.” Pitchfork said although it was “a melancholy record”, it could listen to “Mason's creaky, lonely voice all day.” Black Gold was one of the first CDs to be released in bio-degradable packaging and Mason self-released the 2-LP version of the album, in a limited edition of 150.

Black Affair (2008)
Mason has also worked under the name Black Affair, and has released one album under this pseudonym on V2 Records. Paul Lester wrote in The Guardian that Black Affair “reek of: old school R&B, electro, early hip-hop, Chicago house, Detroit techno, even the pristine white synth-pop that influenced all of the previous black artists in the first place – poptronic forgemasters such as Kraftwerk, Yazoo, the Human League, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell and New Order". Their sole album, Pleasure Pressure Point, was released in 2008 to positive reviews. The Boston Phoenix stated “sensitive indie man boy breaks up cult band, goes clubbing, is sexed up by shady ladies, feels somewhere between good-bad and bad-bad, tells the world about it, repeat".

Solo career (2009–present)
On 19 April 2009, The Sunday Times reported that Mason was working on a new album with the record producer, Richard X. This album, Boys Outside, was released in March 2010 and is the first album under Mason's own name. The first single, "All Come Down", was released as a download at the end of November 2009. Q gave the album a 4/5 rating. According to Rob Fearn, the album "relocates Mason in a grand tradition of indie boys doing idiosyncratic electronic pop, a line stretching back through Hot Chip, New Order, Talk Talk and Brian Eno". Fearn argued that the album, "totally different from what he did in King Biscuit Time and Black Affair", might be seen as a "welcome return to a stripped-down songcraft". It is "...not just a work that can finally measure up to [Beta Band's] The Three EPs, but is a sign of a "bold new start", according to the critic. Record Collector added retrospectively that “Boys Outside was one of 2010’s very best albums. Steve Mason had finally faced his personal demons and was able, after years of hiding behind pseudonyms, to . . . deliver a solo album of touching sincerity, equal to any high-period Beta Band". In 2011, Mason issued a dub version of the album, Ghosts Outside, in collaboration with Dennis Bovell. Record Collector said that by “adding his reverb-laden studio trickery, it’s as if Bovell has delved deeper into Mason’s soul and created a perfect standalone piece".

In 2013, Mason released Monkey Minds in the Devil's Time. The album covers topics as diverse as his recent struggles with depression and loneliness, the suicide of David Kelly (former weapons inspector in Iraq) and the London riots. It received positive reviews: The Quietus suggested “If Mason’s last album Boys Outside was a window on his struggles with mental ill-health, Monkey Minds… moves from micro to macro as he harnesses his strong sense of social justice, while continuing to hone the crisp electronics that so perfectly soundtrack his ghostly, exhortatory vocals". The Independent called it "his most rewarding release since the Beta Band"; Record Collector stated it was “An attack on the lack of dissenting voices in popular culture, if this isn’t Mason’s bona fide masterpiece, it’s certainly approaching it”. To support the album, Mason played several UK dates as well as selected UK, Europe and Canadian festivals. Remixes of album tracks “Seen It All Before” and “Come To Me” by Greg Wilson and Derek Kaye were issued on 12” for Record Store Day 2014.

In 2023, Mason released Brothers & Sisters. The album was recorded during lockdown, in 2020. It steps away from his “radio friendly” style of 2019’s About The Light, marrying electronic elements with world music. Tom Doyle at Mojo singled out the title track as “a rallying cry to dormant ravers,” and concluded that the album was “a winning beats-driven combination of the personal and the universal.” Daryl Easlea at Record Collector noted that this may well be Mason’s friend and collaborator Martin Duffy’s final appearance on record (after his passing in December 2022) – “a fine way for him to finish, on an album full of intelligence and love.” Nick Roseblade said in Clash Magazine that Brothers & Sisters was “one of his best albums to date."  A ten date UK tour to support the album runs April/May 2023.

Not actually a "Cathedral" (yet)
Although he intends for this building to be the cathedral for Alcalá de Henares, technically it is not a cathedral until the Bishop's chair (cathedra) is installed. I am not sure what to call this in its current state, a church or a chapel maybe? Since it is private (right now) "chapel" is propably technically correct, although most people think of them as small. — Eoghanacht  talk 13:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Metacity

Untitled
Metacity is not "the freakin' subject" of Pennington's article. His article is about making user interfaces easier to use and maintain. It mentions metacity a couple of times, which is hardly grounds for including it as an ext link. I could just about go for including any information on the origin of Metacity cribbed from it (adding something useful to the article's copy) and citing the essay as a source... but not for just slapping yet another ext link into a 20 line article.

 * Half of this article is about the "Controversy" about simplifying Metacity and the GNOME interface. I think it's fine to provide an external link that explains this controversy in depth. —Josh Lee 01:11, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Metacity pronunciation
"Metacity (pronounced like "opacity") is the default window manager for the GNOME desktop environment."

Shouldn't this rather read 'with the trailing -city pronounced as in "opacity"'? Or has it really been stated by a developer that "meta" is intended to be read out "opa"? :)

 * Hi, I found a description in the rpm package about metacity's pronouncation. It turns out that it's supposed to rhyme with "opacity", since it's about metacity, the quality of being meta, not about a meta-city, an urban centre. Swap 01:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the point of the unsigned comment above was that if "metacity" was to rhyme with "opacity", it would be pronounced "mopacity" or something. The Wednesday Island 03:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, of course, which is why I changed the entry to say that it should rhyme with opacity, more specific than "pronounced like". :-) Swap 18:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Metacity also rhymes with city, which has nothing to do with syllable stress. Just say "pronounced with the stress on the second syllable" or something similar.--NevarMaor 13:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Where does the IPA transcription come from? Is there any reference for the vowel in the stressed syllable being ø? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.24.82 (talk) 10:59, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Screen Boundary Constraints
How can one discuss the Controversy of Metacity without addressing the screen boundary constraints? If a programmer politely asks Metacity to move a window partially offscreen (using WM messages even) Metacity will refuse. Is there another Window Manager that acts like this? Managing boundary constraints is the opposite of Cheerios -- it is a lot of extra work. To understand the issue more see: http://www.noping.net/kent/osiva, which is currently being ported to X.

 * Want it changed? Raise a bug. Marnanel 00:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC) (metacity maintainer)

Compositing window manager?
What comopisite-effects does Metacity have? None that I know of.

 * Off the top of my head: partial transparency for dialogues, exploding windows, wobbly dragging, shrinkydink minimise, menus growing from the point you clicked, probably other things. You have to turn it on though: it's not on by default. Marnanel 12:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I checked everything in gconf but there are no options whatsoever regarding this. Is there any official announcement or just any statement from GNOME/Pennington about this? I couldn't find any informations on the GNOME-Site (which is very unsatisfactory in terms of Metacity anyway).

 * It's still experimental; you have to turn it on in configure, not in gconf. There will hopefully be a Summer of Code project this year to improve it. This here is about as official an announcement as there'll be for a while (I'm a metacity maintainer myself). Marnanel 18:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Compositing is turned off by default and there is no easy way to enable it other than through Configuration Editor or the command line. Should we really be calling it a compositing window manager?  mmj (talk) 05:57, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

 * The compositing effects of Metacity can be easily activated now within the Configuration Editor by selecting the option "compositing_manager" in apps->metacity->general. --Luca 99.246.167.193 (talk) 08:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

 * That is still a hidden preference, and without enabling the hidden preference it does not use any compositing mode. Because of this, I would argue that metacity is not a compositing window manager and that claiming it is, is not being honest.  mmj (talk) 07:18, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Removed Notability Sign
I fail to see how this qualifies as not notable. Its the window-manager of choice for some of the most popular distros (Ubuntu, Fedor, Debian). Not to mention its tight integration with GNOME itself.
 * This issue has been dealt with already, too. There are multiple secondary sources used in this article. There's most notably a Newsforge and eWeek article, along with others. These articles are about GNOME, yes, because Metacity has been GNOME's default window manager for quite some time now; GNOME developers host and develop the source code. The article is not a two-sentence stub, it's got a good bit of content and there is possibility for expansion. I don't see what all the fuss is about. Samuel Grant 01:35, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Blog
I can't add this myself because of WP:COI, but I thought linking to http://blogs.gnome.org/metacity/ might be useful. (I believe it doesn't fall under WP:EL point 12 because it's actually the main source of dissemination of Metacity information; there is no Metacity home page, but the maintainers regularly post information about what's happening on that site.)

Meherpur District

Meherpur (মেহেরপুর, pron: meɦeɾpuɾ) is the northwestern district of Khulna Division in southwestern Bangladesh. It is bordered by the Indian state of West Bengal to the west, and by the Bangladeshi districts of Kushtia and Chuadanga to the east. Pre-independence Meherpur was a subdivision of Nadia district. The district has an area of 716.08 km2.

History
According to Ashraf Siddiqui, the district is named after the 16th century dervish Meher Ali Shah.

The Provisional Government of Bangladesh was formed and solemnly sworn in Meherpur's Baidyanathtala village (later renamed as Mujibnagar), on 17 April 1971 under the leadership of Tajuddin Ahmed and Syed Nazrul Islam. The entire Proclamation ceremony was organised by local leaders under the supervision of Momeen Chowdhury and MM Rustom Ali. Meherpur became a district in 1983.

Administration
Meherpur district is divided into three upazilas: Gangni Upazila, Meherpur Sadar Upazila and Mujibnagar Upazila. Meherpur is a district located in the southwestern part of Bangladesh. With an area of approximately 716 square kilometers and a population of over 0.8 million people, Meherpur is a major center of agriculture and commerce in the region. The district headquarters is located in the town of Meherpur, which is also the largest town in the district.

Meherpur is known for its rich cultural heritage and historical significance. The district is home to several ancient ruins and monuments, including the ruins of the Hindu Kingdom of Bikrampur and the historic temple of Shat Gombuj Mosque, which is one of the oldest and largest mosques in Bangladesh. Meherpur is also known for its colorful and vibrant festivals, including the annual Baruni Mela, which is held in honor of the Hindu god, Shiva.

Agriculture is the backbone of Meherpur's economy, with a large portion of the population engaged in farming and related activities. The district is known for its fertile land and favorable climate, which allows for the production of a variety of crops, including rice, wheat, and jute. In recent years, the district has also seen significant growth in the non-agricultural sector, with the establishment of several small and medium-sized enterprises in the area.

Meherpur is known for its natural beauty, with many scenic lakes and rivers, as well as lush green forests and rolling hills. The district is home to several wildlife sanctuaries, including the Kanaighat Wildlife Sanctuary, with a multitude of species therein.

Meherpur had a poor infrastructure and inadequate public services. The district is also prone to frequent natural disasters, such as floods and cyclones, which can cause widespread damage and loss of life.

Demographics
According to the 2022 Census of Bangladesh, Meherpur District had 195,322 households and a population of 705,356. 104,284 (14.78%) were under 10 years of age. The population density was 985 people per km2. Meherpur district had a literacy rate (age 7 and over) of 68.14%, compared to the national average of 74.80%, and a sex ratio of 1074 females per 1000 males. 22.53% of the population lived in urban areas.

Fort Miami (Michigan)

Fort Miami was a fort on the bank of the St. Joseph River at the site of the present-day city of St. Joseph, Michigan, in the United States.

It was established in November 1679 by a band of French explorers led by René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle on the banks of what was then called the River Miami as a mission and Indian trading outpost. His soldiers destroyed it the next year. It was rebuilt in winter 1680–81.

In 1700, a second fort was erected by a visiting Jesuit mission and remained in French possession until the French and Indian War (1754-1763), at which point it was conquered by the British.

It came under the command of Colonel John Colonel, who with a handful of soldiers resisted regular attacks by surrounding indigenous tribes. It fell to a raiding party during Pontiac's Rebellion in 1763 until quickly returning to British rule at the end of the same year.

I find it funny that in an earlier version of this article, the Vietnamese name of the airport was written without diacritics, while the so-called chữ Nôm name is already written out. By the time the airport is built, the Chinese way of writing have long been obsolete in Vietnam, so there's no reason to add Chinese characters to this article. DHN 08:59, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Name
Does 新山一 (apparently the characters for this airport's name) mean "New Mountain One"? It's always good to have an understanding of place names. Badagnani (talk) 04:26, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

It's just a name and has no meaning at all, although your translation from the Chinese characters is correct, it does not imply any meaning at all. Like no one would translate Berlin into the old Prussan word meaning "swamp". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.193.213 (talk) 05:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Fort Miami (Indiana)

Fort Miami, originally called Fort St. Philippe or Fort des Miamis, were a pair of French built palisade forts established at Kekionga, the principal village of the Miami. These forts were situated where the St. Joseph River and St. Marys River merge to form the Maumee River in Northeastern Indiana, where present day Fort Wayne is located. The forts and their key location on this confluence allowed for a significant hold on New France (and later the Old Northwest) by whomever was able to control the area, both militarily for its strategic location and economically as it served as a gateway and hotbed for lucrative trade markets such as fur. It therefore played a pivotal role in a number of conflicts including the French and Indian Wars, Pontiac's War, and the Northwest Indian War, while other battles occurred nearby including La Balme's Defeat and the Harmar campaign. The first construct was a small trading post built by Jean Baptiste Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes around 1706, while the first fortified fort was finished in 1722, and the second in 1750. It is the predecessor to the Fort Wayne.

Prehistory and original settlement
Archeological evidence indicates that this area around the confluence has been occupied successively by indigenous peoples for as long as 10,000 years. Some of the earliest known European contact in the area occurred in the 1690s by the French following eastward migration of the Miami towards the later portion of the Beaver Wars. The French explorers described the Miami controlled portage connecting the Maumee to the Wabash as the "Toll road swamp". In 1702, Vincennes was known to have begun visiting the growing Miami town on behalf of New France due to its increasing significance on the trade route. The land was well received by the French in reports back, "The soil was rich, game was abundant and the weather much better than that of France." This region on the eastern border of the confluence, known as the Great Black Swamp, was situated south through southwest of Lake Erie and had grown abundant with wildlife following a long untouched period during Iroquois warfare. Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac described it as "the finest land under heaven - fishing and hunting are most abundant there". With speculation around the exact date, it is believed that Vincennes established a small post for trading in 1706. The fort would be one of the first posts established by the French along the Wabash-Maumee route.

French control (1715-1760)
By 1715, English fur traders had made their way to the area and set to establish strongholds along the Wabash and Maumee river valleys. The English of the Carolinas pursued attempts to gain an alliance with the Miamis and pit them against the French who had founded the trading post at Kekionga a decade prior. Facing pressure, the colonial French government and Vincennes devised a plan to relocate the Miamis from the headwaters of the Maumee to the center of the St. Joseph River near present-day South Bend, Indiana. However, Vincennes, whom was popular with the Miami, would soon die destroying any possibility of what had originally been a plausible plan. The Miami refused to abandon their village and move farther West away from the scheming British traders, so Governor Philippe de Rigaud Vaudreuil authorized Captain Dubuisson to build a strong fort to protect the trade routes of New France, which would be completed in 1722.

In a report to the Council of the Marine, de Vaudreuil stated:

"The log fort Fort Miami which he Dubuisson had build is the finest in the upper country. It is a strong fort and safe from the savages. This post which is of considerable worth ought to have a missionary. One could be sent there in 1724 if next year the council will send the four Jesuits which I ask." It is unlikely that this requested priest was ever sent.

The recognized value of the fort was two-fold; Its location on the portage and confluence, which Little Turtle once described as the "glorious gate", allowed it to serve as a natural gateway to the trade route, thus allowing for a stronghold on the lucrative fur trade, while its embedment within the ally village of Kekionga offered protection from hostile tribes. The French soon militarized the post and garrisoned it with 20 to 30 soldiers. The fort paid off and the French were able to maintain a strong influence on the region, particularly due to its role in the fur trade and successful act as a counterbalance to the English intrigue. This period led until 1747, when English-allied Huron warriors under Chief Nicholas found it undermanned—the commandant, Ensign Douville, and most of the soldiers were away at Fort Detroit. The fort was sacked and burned to the ground.

Upon receiving the news that the fort had been sacked, Captain Dubuisson, along with Miami chiefs Cold Foot, Porc Epic, and a force of sixty men, made haste back to Kekionga from Fort Detroit. The group returned to find the fort partially destroyed, and Dubuisson would leave Captain Charles DeRaymond in charge before returning to Detroit. Around this time in 1749, Father de Bonnecamps described the bare and brutish conditions:"The French there number twenty-two; all of them... had the fever... there were eight houses, or to speak more correctly, eight miserable huts which only the desire of making money render endurable."It is possible that the uncertain friendship with the natives, plus the remoteness of the site dissuaded any other type of settlers aside from tradesmen and military. Over time, Governor DeRaymond, dissatisfied with the state of his decaying fort, eventually chose a spot for a new fort on high ground near the left bank of the St. Joseph River. It was completed in early 1750 and sat where the present St. Joe Boulevard and Delaware Avenue cross. Chief Cold Foot, a close friend of the French, resided in the unused buildings of the old fort, which would become the center of a Miami settlement known as Cold Foot Village.

An outbreak of smallpox would occur in the village the following winter in 1751, killing several including Cold Foot and his son. That same year prior to the winter, Governor DeRaymond wrote that:"My people [the French traders] are leaving me for Detroit. Nobody wants to stay here and have his throat cut. All of the tribes who go to the English at Pickawillany come back loaded with gifts. I am too weak to meet the danger. Instead of twenty men, I need five hundred... The tribes here are leaguing together to kill all the French... This I am told by Cold Foot, a great Miami chief, whom I think an honest man... If the English stay in this country, we are lost. We must attack and drive them out."DeRaymond, relieved, would be replaced by Neyon de Villers as fort commandant that year in 1751. By 1752, tensions between the pro-French and pro-British villages in the area had reached a boiling point when English trader, John Pathin, was captured in the fort. New York Governor George Clinton demanded an explanation of the capture, to which the French colonial Governor Marquis de la Jonquière shot back:

"The English, far from confining themselves within the limits of the King of Great Britain's possessions, not satisfied with multiplying themselves more and more on Rock River... have more than that proceeded within sight of Detroit, even unto the fort of the Miamis... John of Detroit, an inhabitant of Willensten, has been arrested in the French fort of the Miamis by M. de Villiers, commandant of that post... he entered the fort of the Miamis to persuade the Indians who remainder, to unite with those who have fled to the beautiful river [the Ohio]. He has been taken in the French fort. Nothing more is necessary."Shortly thereafter in 1752, two soldiers were caught outside the fort and scalped by "La Demoiselle’s savages" from the nearby breakaway English post Pickawillany.

In November 1760, at the close of the French and Indian War, the French garrison formally surrendered Fort Miami to Ensign Holmes of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Forts without a garrison, British influence, French and American defeats (1761-1794)
In 1763, during Pontiac's Rebellion, the British lost control of the fort after commander Holmes was lured outside by his Miami mistress and immediately shot and killed by a group of Miami waiting for him. Holme's head was cut off, brought into the fort, and thrown into the corporal's bed. The rest of the garrison was then massacred, with only five members left to survive. From this point forward, no active garrison would exist at the fort for the next three decades and its population would be described as a varied mix of English and French traders, rebellious frontiersmen and defiant natives. Around this time in 1765, famous trader George Croghan rode the Wabash all the way up to Kekionga providing a critical account:"The Twightwee village [the English called the Miamis 'twightwees'] is situated on both sides of a river called St. Joseph. This river where it falls into the Miami [Maumee] river about a quarter of a mile from this place is one hundred yards wide, on the east side of which stands a stockade fort, somewhat ruinous. The Indian village consists of about forty or fifty cabins, besides nine or ten French houses, a runaway colony from Detroit during the late Indian war; they were concerned in it, and being afraid of punishment came to this post, where ever since they have spirited up the Indians against the English. All the French residing here a lazy indolent people. Fond of breeding mischief... and should by no means be suffered to remain here... The country is pleasant, the soil rich and well watered."In 1772, Sir William Johnson, suggested to the British government the idea of reoccupying Fort Miami for importance it held. Tensions between inhabitants of the fort and the British had cooled, and they were therefore willing to accept friendship with the English. In 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, it was placed under strict supervision by British Officer Jacques LaSalle, whose duties were to check passports of travelers coming down from Detroit to the Wabash or Ohio, and to ensure that the natives remained allied with the British.

La Balme's defeat
In 1780, with the town refortified by the British and the fort again made a successful trading post, it was sacked yet again by a force under Augustin de La Balme, a French cavalry officer who came to the new United States of America to assist with the revolutionary war. The force raided the stores and held the location for two weeks, before La Balme would set off for the Miami sites along the Eel River, leaving behind a detachment of 20 troops at Kekionga. The small force at Kekionga would soon be pummeled by Miami Chief Little Turtle and his men upon their return, and La Balme along with the rest of his unit were massacred next in what became known as the infamously brutal La Balme's Defeat. Several of the French soldiers were reported to have begged for their surrender while being scalped alive while others were burnt alive at the stake. Reinforcements turned back upon approach after seeing that member's heads' from La Balme's unit had been impaled on spikes. The location of this defeat, which was along the banks of the Eel river, is today marked on East De La Balme road west of South Johnson road near present-day Columbia City, Indiana. It is approximately .3 miles away from the Last Home of Chief Little Turtle, which was within shouting distance of the Eel River Post Fort, and about 2.7 miles down the river from Little Turtle's Miami Village, also here in Whitley County, Indiana.

Hardin's defeat
The coalition at Kekionga remained true to their British allies even after the area was ceded to the United States at the close of the revolutionary war. It therefore became a target of American armies, leading to several noteworthy Indian victories and conflicts as part of the Northwest Indian War.

In 1790, almost exactly 10 years after La Balme's Defeat, and riding in on the same Eel River Trail as La Balme had previously, Col. John Hardin and his force of United States troops suffered harsh losses to the Northwestern Confederacy in a number of locations within sight of the forts and village, as part of the Harmar Campaign, in what became known as Hardin's Defeat. The results of which, were most deadly. Located near where the present Harmar street exists today, one large portion of troops were ambushed while crossing the Maumee:"One eyewitness declared that he could walk across the Maumee River on the bodies of dead men."Closing of the Northwest Indian War

The Northwest Indian War ended in 1794 with the Battle of Fallen Timbers, where General Anthony Wayne finally achieved an American victory near present-day Maumee, Ohio. Following the victory, Wayne and his troops marched for two days from Fort Defiance to Kekionga where he commissioned Captain Jean François Hamtramck to build Fort Wayne; the fort which gave the name to the settlement and would later become the modern city of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Fort Miami (Ohio)

Fort Miami (Miamis) was a British fort built in spring 1794 on the Maumee River in what was at the time territory claimed by the United States, and designated by the federal government as the Northwest Territory. The fort was located at the eastern edge of present-day Maumee, Ohio, southwest of Toledo. The British built the fort to forestall a putative assault on Fort Detroit by Gen. "Mad" Anthony Wayne's army, then advancing northward in southwestern Ohio.

Background
Under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1783) that ended the American Revolutionary War the region south of the Great Lakes and between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers was assigned to the United States. The British, however, refused to evacuate their troops from their forts in the region, claiming that the U.S. had not complied with portions of the treaty – pre-Revolution debts owed to British merchants and subjects had not been paid, and confiscation of Loyalist properties continued.

In the early 1790s, the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, made an aggressive effort to aid the "Western Confederacy" of Native American tribes (the Shawnee, Miami, Wyandot, and others) in the Maumee and Wabash River watersheds in their ongoing war with American settlers. His ultimate goal was the establishment of an Indian barrier state in the region, as a way to protect Britain's North American fur trade ventures, and to block anticipated American attacks upon their remaining North American possessions.

Fort history
In spring 1794 the British built Fort Miami to forestall U.S. Gen. Anthony Wayne's advance on Britain's Fort Detroit, and to encourage the confederated tribes in their war of resistance. The fort was a log stockade, which had four bastions, each capable of mounting four cannon, a river battery, barracks, officers' quarters, supply buildings, and various shops. A defensive ditch, 20 to 25 feet deep, ran along the land side of the fort.

In July 1794 General Wayne and his troops marched northward toward Fort Miami from Fort Recovery. Just south of Fort Miami, encountering a barricade erected by the Native Americans and a small party of Canadian militia, he ordered a charge and dispersed his adversaries in the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The Native Americans fled to the fort, but the commander shut them out. Beaten and disillusioned, the Native Americans dispersed and one year later their tribal elders gathered at Fort Greenville to negotiate with Wayne. The Treaty of Greenville opened most of the present State of Ohio and part of Indiana to United States settlement. In 1796, under the terms of the Jay Treaty (1794), the British abandoned Fort Miami – along with their other forts on American soil. Wayne occupied and garrisoned it, but about 1799 it was abandoned.

The British again occupied the site during the War of 1812, which at the time was opposite the American Fort Meigs. During the War, Tecumseh, the Shawnee chief, and British officials maintained headquarters at the fort, from where they moved against Gen. William Henry Harrison at Fort Meigs.

Abandoned again in 1814, the fort was eventually demolished. Afterward, the site reverted to agricultural and, later, public park use.

Present-day site
Today, the site of Fort Miami sits as a small enclave within a residential development. Nothing remains of the original structure except parts of the earthworks.

In 1942 several Ohio civic and patriotic organizations acquired a part of the fort site. In 1953 the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society conducted preliminary excavations, and in 1957 the Historical Society of Northwestern Ohio placed a marker at the site, which remains undeveloped. In 1975, the site of the fort was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The site of the fort was incorporated with the Fallen Timbers Battlefield into Fallen Timbers Battlefield and Fort Miamis National Historic Site in 1999, under. The site is managed by the Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo Area (Metroparks), in partnership with the Ohio Historical Society, and is an affiliated area of the National Park System.

A state memorial has been created at the site. Ft. Miami Elementary School of the Maumee City School District is five blocks away and named after the fort.

Talk:Intelligence and public policy

Article kept
This article has been kept following this VFD debate. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:03, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

GA nomination failed
For the following reasons :
 * What looks like the lead section should be a section titled Definition or something like that.
 * Thus a lead section should be added.
 * This, The importance and sensitivity of the policies at issue have produced an often-emotional ongoing debate spanning scholarly inquiry and the popular media from the national to the local level., sounds a bit pov-oriented to me.
 * The citations should be standardized whether it is in the Reference section or using the Cite.php model not spread in the text as well as citing webpages, it just confuses the reader.
 * Thoroughly a good article though, IMO. Lincher 14:21, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I have tried to address these points. The final suggestion, regarding reference style, is not entirely clear to me; perhaps an example can be given?  I will re-nominate for GA.  --Algebraic 18:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

GA Review
In reviewing the article according to the Good Article Criteria, I unfortunately need to decline the nomination at this time because of concerns mention below. This is a unique topical approach to an article so it was difficult to find other articles of FA or GA quality to serve as a comparison point. The overlapping concern that I have with the article is the presentation of this complex and multifaceted topic. In reading it, not only was a left with a sense that there is more to the story to be told but I also had difficulty trying to pinpoint exactly what the focus was with the article. Hopefully I'll be able to explain this more fully below. 1. It is well written. - Needs Improvement 2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. - Needs Improvement 3. It is broad in its coverage. - Needs Improvement 4. It follows the neutral point of view policy - Pass 5. It is stable - Pass 6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic. - Needs Improvement
 * The article doesn't distinguish if it is connecting the concept of Intelligence with public policy or the testing of Intelligence with public policy. Part of this is the ambiguity of the title. Regardless of what primary focus you go with there should be some refinement in titling. Either Human intelligence and public policy or Intelligence testing and public policy.
 * Relating to the above is the need for the lead section (in accordance to WP:LEAD) to clearly establish context and lay out an overview of the article's main points. In reading the current lead, it starts talking about the measurement of intelligence in public policy and then ends with the line "Public policy represents a key arena for controversies regarding the meaning and importance of intelligence in daily life." which then seems to indicate that the article is going to go into the concept of Intelligence and the public's perception of it.
 * I could go into other details about the back and forth flow between those two competing "themes" in the rest of the article but I don't think that is needed. What I recommend is to clearly establish the lead with a singular theme and then directly relate each section to that single theme. Everything else will work its way out.
 * It clear that the article strives to be well referenced with a plethora of reliable sources. However, it is a concern when there are entire sections without a single reference such as Introduction, Background, Crime and History.
 * I also think there should be more references that make the explicit connection of "Intelligence" and "Public Policy" to alleviate any appearance of OR. There are a few but I would make that a focal point in evaluating references for inclusion.
 * The biggest issue is the US-Centric nature of the article. There is slight mention in the health section but every other section is written from an exclusively American view. Even the reference to the change in public policy regarding the death penalty doesn't cover the international perception of mental retardation and crime that had a stark influence on the change in the US.
 * The area of Crime is drastically under represented. The article starts on the one angle of mentioning the relation to death penalty policy but neglects to detail how it came to that point. What determination led to the perception that we should account for human intelligence in formulating our public policy on the death penalty? Secondly, there are many studies and media references to how the propensity for crime as well as the depravity can be connected to a person's intelligence level. The stereotype drawn from this is that segments of low intelligence tend to perpetuate more criminal activities but of a lower stature of depravity (more "petty" in nature) while segments of higher intelligences tend to perpetuate more depraved and atrocious crimes. (Like sociopath rapist and murders with high levels of intelligence). As a reader that could be completely false but that does affect the public's perception of criminal activities and related how we view such legal policies as the death penalty, minor crime and high crime, 1st degree and 2nd degree Mens rea and so forth.
 * Overall, I think there should be more details on how the public perception of intelligence affects public policy decisions. Like the death penalty example above and so much more can written on how it affected the eugenics debate. In fact, I think public perception should be a centralize theme in each and every section because that is arguably the most pertinent factor in the changing of public policy.
 * The NPOV tone of the article has improved since its last GA nomination and I appreciate the editor's work in this regard.
 * The article has progressed gracefully since its creation with the contribution of several editors. Since nomination there has not been any drastic change.
 * The key phrase in this criterion is "where possible". Some topics are inherently incompatible with including an image and that is not held against them for the benefit of GA inclusion. However, I don't think this is one of those topics. In particular, I think this topic needs images in order to better convey itself.
 * In each major subject area where the article is putting forth a major claim of the connection between Intelligence and Public policy should be some chart or graph content with data from one of the reliable sources that can serve as a visual aid in understanding the data. An example:
 * In the beginning of 'Education you put forth the claim "Cognitive test scores predict educational performance better than they predict any other outcome." and build the rest of the section around that. What is missing is the need for the reader to be able to visualize and take in that information-- to "see" how these cognitive test scores predict educational performance. A line chart linking to some published test would go a long way here. It would also help alleviate some of the OR-ishness in that area as well.

I want to applaud the editors of this article for tackling such a complex, yet very encyclopedic topic. Working on this article is not an easy task but I do think the merits of this article makes working a worthwhile process. I encouraging the editors to continuing striving to improve this article and to resubmit it for GA consideration again. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to IQ Testing
You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles to look at a bibliography of Intelligence Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in these issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by suggesting new sources through comments on that page. It will be extremely helpful for articles on human intelligence to edit them according to the Wikipedia standards for reliable sources for medicine-related articles, as it is important to get these issues as well verified as possible. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 20:12, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

 * It would be great to hear from you with suggestions of new sources for improving this and other articles on Wikipedia. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 02:34, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
