Pete Wentz

Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III (born June 5, 1979) is an American musician who is the bassist and lyricist for the rock band Fall Out Boy. Before the band's formation in 2001, Wentz was a fixture of the Chicago hardcore scene and was the lead singer and songwriter for Arma Angelus, a metalcore band. During Fall Out Boy's hiatus from 2009 to 2012, Wentz formed the experimental, electropop and dubstep group Black Cards. He owns a record label, DCD2 Records, which has signed bands including Panic! at the Disco and Gym Class Heroes.

Fall Out Boy returned from hiatus in February 2013, and have since released four albums; Save Rock and Roll, American Beauty/American Psycho, Mania, and So Much (for) Stardust.

Wentz has also ventured into other non-musical projects, including writing, acting, and fashion; in 2005 he founded a clothing company called Clandestine Industries. He hosted season 1 & 2 of the TV show Best Ink and runs a film production company called Bartskull Films and owned a bar called Angels & Kings in Chicago. His philanthropic activities include collaborations with Invisible Children, Inc. and UNICEF's Tap Project, a fundraising project that helps bring clean drinking water to people worldwide, People magazine states that "no bassist has upstaged a frontman as well as Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy." He is also a minority owner of the Phoenix Rising FC, a USL Championship team.

Early life
Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III was born in Wilmette, Illinois, an affluent suburb of Chicago. His parents are Dale Wentz (née Lewis), a high school admissions counselor, and Pete Wentz II, an attorney. Wentz is of English and German descent on his father's side and Afro-Jamaican descent on his mother's side. He has a younger sister, Hillary, and a younger brother, Andrew. His maternal grandfather, Arthur Winston Lewis, served as the U.S. Ambassador to Sierra Leone; Arthur Winston Lewis' cousin was General Colin Powell.

Wentz' parents met in the 1970s while campaigning for Joe Biden's senatorial run. Wentz recalled in a Rolling Stone interview that his earliest musical memory was listening to The Foundations' song "Build Me Up Buttercup" in the back of his father's car. Wentz attended North Shore Country Day School, where he was an all-state soccer player. He considered pursuing a professional career in the sport, but decided that music was a more fulfilling choice; he says that he "always had a magical connection to the ball. But it didn't feel like an adventure. Music was more of a challenge and, in the end, felt more interesting."

During his first year of high school, he began skipping school regularly and smoking marijuana with friends, but later quit as it was affecting his grades at school. After graduating from high school in 1997, he attended DePaul University, where he studied political science, dropping out one quarter shy of graduation to focus on Fall Out Boy.

Arma Angelus and other early projects (1993–2002)
Wentz was primarily involved in the Chicago hardcore punk scene and was in several bands in the late 1990s. He formed his first band, First Born, in 1993. By the mid-1990s, he became an infrequent bass player for Racetraitor.

Wentz formed the metalcore band Novena (later renamed to Arma Angelus) soon after, along with Adam Bishop of XshroudX and Extinction; Daniel Binaei of Racetraitor; and Timothy Miller. The band cycled through six bassists before recruiting Tim McIlrath, who had recently departed from Baxter. They released their debut EP the Grave End of the Shovel in 2000. Around this time, Binaei's partial relocation to California led to the hiring of Jay Jancetic of Extinction. McIlrath then departed from the band in 2000, in order to focus on Transistor Revolt and the Killing Tree, leading to the band's recruitment of, XshroudX and Restraint member, Christopher Gutierrez. In 2001, the released their debut album Where Sleeplessness Is Rest From Nightmares. In support of the album they toured with Throwdown and Hatebreed, and performed at Hellfest. These tours also saw the recruitment of bassist Joe Trohman, after Gutierrez's departure, however Trohman's severe stage fright led to the band bringing him back mid-tour, and residing Trohman to selling merchandise.

Around this time, Wentz also played in Birthright, Extinction and Yellow Road Priest. He and Arma Angelus' bassist Joe Trohman founded the pop-punk band Fall Out Boy after Trohman introduced Wentz to a musical acquaintance, Patrick Stump. Andy Hurley agreed to drum part-time, but only joined the band full-time later. In 2002, Arma Angelus, played its last show.

Fall Out Boy (2001–2009, 2013–present)
In 2002, Fall Out Boy released an EP called Fall Out Boy/Project Rocket Split EP. Soon after, in 2003, the band released their mini-LP Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend on Uprising Records. This album would later be digitally remastered and reissued after the band's rise of popularity on the major label Island Records. In 2003, the band released their first full-length album, Take This to Your Grave through Fueled by Ramen. Fall Out Boy signed with major label Island Records in 2003 and in 2004 released an acoustic EP and DVD entitled My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue.

Their second album, From Under the Cork Tree, was released in 2005. Wentz wrote the lyrics to the lead single, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" with his dad in Chicago; the song peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent months in the top 50 of the Hot 100, marking five weeks in the top 10 and fourteen weeks in the top 20. The band's major label debut album has since been certified double platinum by the RIAA as well as "Sugar, We're Goin Down".

In 2007, Fall Out Boy's third album, Infinity on High was released to major success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 260,000 sales, spurred by the lead single, "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race", which reached the top ten in the US & UK and topped the charts in New Zealand. The second single, "Thnks fr th Mmrs" sold more than 2 million units in the US. The band's fourth studio album, Folie à Deux was released on December 13, 2008, and debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. The band toured extensively in support of their albums.

In November 2009, the four band members announced they will be taking an indefinite hiatus, saying they were unsure of the future of the band. Wentz has said that his personal reason for taking a break is that he feels that his name and marriage to pop singer Ashlee Simpson had become a hindrance for the band. He added: "I think the world needs a little less Pete Wentz".

On February 4, 2013, Fall Out Boy unexpectedly announced their return, along with an album and single with which all four members contributed. Once again, Wentz had main control of song writing duties. On April 12, 2013, the band released a new album entitled, Save Rock and Roll, featuring the lead single My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up), and dates for a new tour. The band played their first show in over three years on the night of February 4 in Chicago. Save Rock and Roll peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 154,000 copies in its first week, becoming the band's fourth consecutive top 10 album. With Fall Out Boy, Wentz toured heavily throughout 2013 and 2014 on the album, selling out arenas worldwide, with bands such as Paramore on the Monumentour. In October 2013, they released a new EP, PAX AM Days which they recorded in a two-day session with producer Ryan Adams.

Sixth studio album American Beauty/American Psycho was released to become the band's third Billboard 200 No. 1 album, debuting with 192,000 first week sales and 218,000 equivalent album units. The album was preceded by the triple Platinum top 10 single Centuries. Uma Thurman was released to mainstream radio on April 14, 2014, and peaked at 22 on the 'Billboard' Top 100, and were certified as Platinum in August 2015.

In April 2017, Fall Out Boy released Young and Menace, the lead single for the seventh studio album. The band's seventh album Mania was officially released January 19, 2018, and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, making it the band's third consecutive and fourth chart-topping debut overall.

In 2018, Fall Out Boy headlined Wrigley Field in the band's hometown of Chicago, marking a milestone in their career as their first headline show at a stadium.

Black Cards (2010–2012)
In July 2010, Wentz, with singer Bebe Rexha, guitarist Nate Patterson, and drummer Spencer Peterson, formed the ska/electropop band Black Cards. Originally, the band had planned to release a full-length LP in the summer of 2011. However, after several delays, the departures of both Patterson and Rexha, and general uncertainty about the band's future, the group reshuffled, scrapping the original album and announcing plans to release a mixtape, write new material, and continue to remix tracks by other artists.

With regards to the band's sound, Wentz has said that during the time he took off to spend with his family, he began to be inspired by Jamaican reggae songs such as Culture's "Two Sevens Clash" and The Gladiators' "Warriors". Wentz then contacted producer Sam Hollander (Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, Hey Monday) and discussed the idea with him to mash up ska, dance and reggae with 80s British rock and pop to create a new experimental sound.

On January 12, 2012, the band announced via Facebook that vocalist Bebe Rexha was no longer a member of the group.

Non-performance projects
Apart from his musical career, Wentz has been involved in various entrepreneurial ventures. Fall Out Boy bandmate Patrick Stump says of Wentz's endeavors: "It scares me sometimes, watching him. The two seconds you're not with that dude he's made 30 decisions that are going to affect our band for the rest of the year." Wentz's company, Clandestine Industries, distributed books, clothing, and other merchandise. On August 2, 2007, fashion company DKNY joined a partnership with Clandestine Industries. Wentz himself has served as a model on the DKNY/Clandestine promo website.

In April 2007, Wentz came out with his own signature Squier Precision Bass. It has a black body with a red shell pickguard and special graphics that include Wentz's own red bat/heart design on the body, plus a black bat/diamond fingerboard inlay at the 12th fret. It also features Wentz's signature on the back of the headstock. Wentz owns a very similar custom Fender bass with a purple pickguard and bat/heart. In 2008, Fender gave his son, Bronx Wentz, a three-quarter-sized modified version of his guitar.

Wentz opened a nightclub in New York with his bandmates as well as members of Gym Class Heroes, The Academy Is..., and Cobra Starship; the bands' managers are also involved in the enterprise. Called Angels & Kings, the club occupies the former space on 11th Street near Avenue A that housed the Orchid Lounge. Notable guests, including Tommy Hilfiger, arrived for the grand opening on April 20, 2007. In June 2007, Wentz celebrated the opening of Angels & Kings' second location in Chicago.

On December 13, 2008, Wentz, along with Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, created several pieces for an art exhibit at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles called "Without You, I'm Just Me". The exhibit closed on December 24, 2008. Wentz appeared in the season 5 episode of CSI: NY, "Point of No Return", along with then-wife Ashlee Simpson. Wentz also hosted the Australia MTV VMAs on March 27, 2009.

Wentz collaborated with Mark Hoppus on the track "In Transit" on the Almost Alice soundtrack for the 2010 movie Alice in Wonderland. He was also a judge for the 10th and 11th annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists' careers.

Friends or Enemies was a blogging platform created by Wentz to showcase "VIP" content of the bands signed to DCD2. The site first appeared online in the latter half of 2005 stating "coming this fall". On January 16, 2006, the page published its first post, welcoming people to its BETA version; earlier that day Wentz appeared on MTV's TRL wearing a friendsorenemies.com branded t-shirt, to promote the website. The platform allowed its users to customise their own page, comment and reply, and post entries on their profile. In support of Friends or Enemies, William Beckett of The Academy Is... posted on their website that it is "the hatester's MySpace", and Cobra Starship shared a preview of their music video, Church of Hot Addiction on the website, a week before it was to be aired on MTV2. By February 2007, Equalstudio, the designer and host of the website, stated there were over 100,000 members on Friends or Enemies. The website became a hub for posting tour announcements and updates, and had increased its VIP journals to include bands that were not signed to DCD2, such as Armour For Sleep and Innerpartysystem

In 2009, Twitter and Facebook accounts were created, which posted the same content as the website, that was still being regularly updated with blogs and competitions. Also in 2009, Friends or Enemies began posting on their YouTube channel which published skits, live performances and interviews. Through 2011 and 2012, the social media pages began to post links to new music videos, while the website continued with blog updates from bands. Despite 2012 being the year for the website that had amassed the most blog posts, in January 2013, Wentz posted an edited photograph of Britney Spears with a shaved head, which served as his last post. By May 2013, the homepage stated the "Network [is] offline" and has remained down since.

Writing
Wentz has written a book entitled The Boy with the Thorn in His Side, a story based on nightmares he had as a child. The title is a reference to "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side" on The Smiths' album The Queen Is Dead. Wentz explained that writing books serves as another mode of self-expression other than songwriting: "My inspiration and my ideas don't begin and end at the beginning and the ending of a song. It is too limiting." It was reported that he was to publish another book, entitled Rainy Day Kids, but years went by without any word on the book's progress, and Wentz even expressed on his Twitter account that he did not think it would ever come to fruition. However, in February 2012, he posted a photo on his personal blog of what appeared to be a rough draft of the book's manuscript, explaining that he was currently in the process of editing Rainy Day Kids and that it would be 40–50 pages longer than he originally expected. On December 13, 2012, Wentz revealed the cover for the book, now titled Gray, on his personal blog. The book, which was written with MTV News writer and former FNMTV co-host James Montgomery, was released on February 26, 2013. In June 2009, it was announced that Wentz was working on a five-issue comic book mini-series called Fall Out Toy Works, to be published by Image Comics. The idea was conceived by Wentz and designer Darren Romanelli. The plot is loosely based on the Fall Out Boy song "Tiffany Blews" and focuses on "a mysterious toymaker, a cyborg gal named Tiffany and a kid in a bear suit that looks lifted from the cover of Fall Out Boy's Folie á Deux." With writing by Brett Lewis, and art by Sam Basri, the first issue was released on September 2, 2009.

Film and television work
Wentz also has a film production company called Bartskull Films, which put out the DVD Release the Bats, starring Wentz, his bandmates, and several of his personal friends. Wentz has told several sources that he has all the footage to release a sequel, but editing and time constraints have kept him from doing so, and therefore the fate of the project is still up in the air.

Wentz was in a multi-episode arc of the show One Tree Hill, appearing at Tric (the local all-ages club in Tree Hill) with the entire band. The band first appeared in an episode "An Attempt to Tip the Scales", where they played their single "Dance, Dance" and went on to appear on Peyton and Ellie's (also One Tree Hill's album) tribute album, "Friends with Benefit" to support cancer awareness. Wentz made his first solo cameo in the episode "When It Isn't Like It Should Be" as the romantic interest of Peyton Sawyer, a senior at Tree Hill who had booked the band to play at Tric.

He also made a brief cameo appearance in the show Californication. On February 6, 2008, it was reported that Wentz was the leading candidate for writer Diablo Cody's follow-up film to Juno, Jennifer's Body. The role ended up going to Adam Brody. On February 24, 2008, Wentz appeared in comedian Jimmy Kimmel's video "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck" as a chorus member (along with many other celebrities). The video was in response to one made by Kimmel's then-girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, "I'm Fucking Matt Damon".

In 2009, he made a cameo appearance as himself in Degrassi Goes Hollywood. In 2016, he made a guest appearance on the Nickelodeon series School of Rock.

In 2010, he made a guest appearance on the reality television show The Spin Crowd.

In 2012, he appeared as himself on The Eric Andre Show.

In 2017, Wentz guest starred, with his bandmates, in Cartoon Network's Teen Titans Go! playing himself in the first, third and fourth parts of "The Night Begins to Shine". Their cover of the title song from the special was commercially released.

Wentz hosts the TV show Best Ink. Wentz directed a music video for the song "If It's Love" by American rock band Train. He was a contestant in an episode of the Nickelodeon game show Double Dare.

In 2020, he made a guest appearance on two episodes of the Nickelodeon show All That.

Personal life
Wentz has bipolar disorder, and has taken medication for it since he was eighteen. In February 2005, Wentz attempted suicide by taking an overdose of the anxiety medication Ativan, and as a result, spent a week in the hospital. Commenting on the event to a magazine, he said:

"I was isolating myself further and further, and the more I isolated myself, the more isolated I'd feel. I wasn't sleeping. I just wanted my head to shut off, like, I just wanted to completely stop thinking about anything at all."

The suicide attempt was put into song form, "7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)", and released on their album From Under the Cork Tree. After this event, Wentz moved back in with his parents. Wentz later spoke of his suicide attempt to the support site Halfofus.com.

In 2006, Wentz started dating singer Ashlee Simpson. In April 2008, Simpson and Wentz confirmed their engagement, and were married on May 17, 2008, at Simpson's parents' residence in Encino, Los Angeles, with her father officiating the ceremony. Two weeks later, she confirmed her pregnancy. Her surname changed from Simpson to Wentz and she was briefly known professionally as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. Simpson gave birth to their son on November 20, 2008.

On February 8, 2011, Simpson filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences". She asked for joint custody and primary physical custody of their son with visitation for Wentz, along with spousal support. However, a later report said that Simpson believed the couple simply "married too young", with the source stating that, "It was honestly a classic case of marrying young, having a kid young and growing apart over the years". Wentz reportedly did not want the divorce. Their divorce was finalized on November 22, 2011.

Wentz is currently in a relationship with Meagan Camper. They have two children together, a son born in 2014 and a daughter born in 2018.

Philanthropy and activism
Wentz is a supporter of Invisible Children, Inc., an organization dedicated to helping the cause of displaced refugees in Uganda. He and Fall Out Boy traveled to the nation, and filmed the music video for the song "I'm Like a Lawyer... (Me & You)" there. Prior to the trip, he participated in an event organized by Invisible Children called "Displace Me", in which 67,000 activists throughout the United States slept in the streets in makeshift cardboard villages, hoping to raise awareness about those displaced by the Ugandan government.

Along with Mary J. Blige and Billy Corgan, Wentz is a spokesperson for The Jed Foundation's Half of Us campaign, a program aimed at lowering the rate of teenage suicide.

Wentz was a vegetarian for many years, and appeared on the ballot of PETA's third annual "Sexiest Vegetarian" awards.

Cleanup
The information that was copied from the duplicate article needs to be merged with the rest of the article. This could also use some headings and perhaps unlinking some of the bands that may just end up becoming redirects to this article. (Unless they are in some way notable enough to merit a separate article). And of course this badly needs to have citations. Katr67 21:29, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Follow-up needed
Chemeketa and Chemawa bands in Salem area. See Chemawa. Katr67 (talk) 20:55, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

The word "Shaman" is not a Native word. It is a European word and thus, no one in the Kalapuya Tribe was ever called a "shaman" as listed in the wiki.

– "Kalapuya" was the original title here - actually "Calapooya" was, created on July 1, 2004 (I can't determine when "Calapooya" was changed to Kalapuya, but note that Kalapooian was merged in e.g. here.  Over seven years later from its origins, the ethno article was moved from "Kalapuya" to "Kalapuya people" by Kwami on Oct 2 2011, over redirect and without discussion or any reason given.  As now established by consensus across a large series of RMs of this kind lately, the people are the PRIMARYTOPIC in such cases per PRECISION and CONCISENESS.

Balance (1989 film)

Balance is a 1989 German surrealist experimental stop-motion animated film directed and produced by twin brothers Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein.

Plot
The film depicts five individuals standing on a small platform floating in an empty space. These men are all identical apart from a number at the back of their coats: 23, 35, 51, 75, and 77. Whenever one of them moves, the platform tilts and the others must move as well to ensure that the platform does not tip over. They all move out to the edge of the platform, take out fishing rods, and cast their lines over the edge. The one numbered 51 reels in a large, heavy box while the others scramble to the opposite side of the platform. One by one, the individuals inspect the box: it has a wind-up key that causes the box to play music, but at such a low volume that only the man nearest the box can hear it. As each man in turn moves to inspect the box, the platform becomes unstable, prompting each of the group to converge in the center to keep the platform from tipping over. The man with the number 75 attempts to tip the box over the edge, but number 51 counterbalances the platform to prevent it. These two scuffle briefly, causing the box to slide to number 23, who tap dances to the tune as the others look on. 75 moves away from the center of gravity, tipping the platform and causing the box to slide toward him, but 23 sits on top of the box and moves with it.

The added weight moves the box to the very edge of the platform. The others rearrange themselves to bring the box back to the center. Riding the box as it slides from side to side, 23 pushes 35 off the platform as the former slides to the very edge. The others rearrange themselves again to compensate for the loss of mass. 51 trips and falls over. 75 shoves 77 to the ground as he avoids the careening 23. 77 scrambles to the opposite edge as 23 moves with the box again. 23 kicks 75 off the platform, unbalancing the platform and causing 77 to fall over the edge also. 23 gets off the box, approaches 51 and kicks him over the edge. Now alone, 23 turns around to look at the box, which is perched on the edge farthest from him. Without the others, 23 has to maintain the balance on his own, keeping the box out of reach. One step back and he falls, one step forward and the box falls. He can only watch as the box slowly winds down and plays its music, which 23 is unable to hear.

Legacy
Balance was commissioned by German group Alphaville as part of their Songlines project for their 1989 album The Breathtaking Blue. For Songlines, the video was set to the song "Middle of the Riddle" from that album. Lauenstein said of the video, "its visualization is not a literal illustration [of the song], which would be impossible in any case, but comprises a complete, autonomous story on its own."

Accolades
Set to different music, Balance won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short in 1989.

 * Non-standard, made up unit - not suffiently notable. But fun, nevertheless.
 * 1.88 m — (nearly 6 feet 2 inches) — 95 [percentile] height of US human males in 2002.
 * We don't need two numbers for height of human males.
 * 3.66 m — The length of a new Mini
 * We don't need two numbers for length of Minis.

Proposal one

 * This proposal has been accepted and is currently (as of March 2016) in use. Jimp 03:59, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

At AFD I argued: Rename and redirect, and let's argue instead about what their base names should be, which is the whole problem. I propose "1 yoctometre", "100 zeptometres", etc., through "100 yottametres". For purposes of people finding them, redirect from many other potential versions such as "1 centimeter" = "1 centimetre", "ten nanometres" = "10 nanometres" (these first two also combine), "1hm" = "1 hm" = "1 hectometre", "one thousandth metre" = "1 millimetre", "one milliard metres" = "1 gigametre" (use of >100 and <.01 is limited only to text, and only with meter and metre), "one billion metres" = "1 gigametre" (not "1 terametre"), and occasional exceptions like "1 myriameter" = "10 kilometres". Also add to disambiguation pages like "10K". That should be enough to define a system, y'all can take it from there. John J. Bulten (talk) 14:38, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, in the absence of comment I'm prepared to proceed. Many of the links to the shorter names "1 E0 m" will become redirects to the longer names "1 metre", but this is not a problem per WP:R2D and double redirects will be addressed. JJB 05:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I also will be adding a few entries to the subarticles taken from: JJB 05:48, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposal two

 * This is the new proposal and is discussed in the RfC below.
 * "1 metre", "10 metres", ... etc. is certainly an improvement on the cryptic "1 E0 m", "1 E1 m", ... etc. that we used to have but it could still be improved on further. The article now called 1 metre is not about 1 metre but distances between 1 and 10 metres; it would be better to have a name reflecting this.  It's also worth noting that these are a subset of orders of magnitude how about standardising the naming system as Order of magnitude ( ... )?  Furthermore, these articles are generally very short and haven't much hope of being extended much; I propose merging (most if not all of) them by threes.  Thus, for example, 1 mircometre, 10 mircometres and 100 mircometres will be merged to Order of magnitude (1 to 1000 mircometres). Jimp 09:49, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Why not simply call it 'Metre'? The subdivisions and multiples are then just subsections. Calling it any variant of 'order of magnitude' is just obscurantism as the expression is virtually unknown outside the scientific community.--John Maynard Friedman (talk) 14:23, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not about the metre. We have an article called Metre which is about the metre.  This article is a list of thing between 1 and 10 metres long.  This is just one of several such articles.  If calling these Order of magnitude ( ... ) is obscure, then it's equally obscure in the case of the several dozen similarly named articles in the category (linked above).  What would be (and currently is) more obscure is not being consistent in the naming of these articles.  If you can come up with something easier, please make the suggestion. Jimp 00:42, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I realised too late that we already have a metre article, that it is significantly different in scope from this one, and that they should remain distinct.
 * IMO, this article already has an appropriate title and does not need to be changed. I strongly oppose 'order of magnitude'. I realise that the article is about 1 to 9 metres and the 10-metre one is 10 to 99 but this is a case where a fixation about accuracy in the title will get in the way of understanding. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:43, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, we have a difference of opinion. This illogical title is getting in the way of understanding if you ask me.  What I'm suggesting it to bring these in line with the other articles in the Orders of magnitude category.  A consistent naming system would help understanding.  I understand your point that order of magnitude is a bit technical but it is appropriate and I would argue that the consistency should outweigh the obscurity in the understanding stakes.  After all, these are all elaborations on what Orders of magnitude (length) is saying. Jimp 13:17, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Which means you have to invoke the wp:RFC procedure (or at least wp:3O) to see if there is a consensus either way. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:23, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This is true. Jimp 23:08, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Request for comment
The above discussion relates to the renaming of these articles. Initially they were named "1 E0 m", "1 E1 m", "1 E2 m", etc. These were very unhelpful names so the articles were moved to "1 metre", "10 metres", "100 metres", etc. (see above). This was an improvement; however, it was not completely satisfactory because it left a couple of issues unresolved. Above I have proposed a system consistent with other order of magnitude articles whereby these articles are merged in threes to "Order of magnitude (1 to 1000 metres)", "Order of magnitude (1 to 1000 kilometres)", "Order of magnitude (1 to 1000 millimetres)", etc. The intent behind this RfC is to examine these questions and to come to some resolution. To make the discussion clearer, let's split it into three parts. Jimp 03:56, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) This article is not about 1 metre. Rather it's about things ranging in length from 1 to 10 metres.  The same goes for other articles in the series.
 * 2) These articles are generally quite short. They'll get even shorter once some of the trivial stuff is removed (e.g. one metre is the length of a side of a one-cubic-metre cube). It would make more sense to merge them but threes (e.g. "1 metre", "10 metres" and "100 metres" to something like "Order of magnitude (1 to 1000 metres)").

Article names to reflect the fact that we're dealing with ranges
As mentioned above, this article is not about 1 metre but things of length 1 to 10 metres. The articles should be named accordingly. Jimp 03:56, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Articles should be merged in threes
The articles are generally short and contain a lot of trivial info. Cut the trivia and merge them by threes. Note, that threes are consistent with metric prefixes. Jimp 03:56, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Articles names to conform with the naming pattern used for other order of magnitude articles
The proposal is to use names "Order of magnitude (1 to 1000 metres)", "Order of magnitude (1 to 1000 kilometres)", "Order of magnitude (1 to 1000 millimetres)", etc. which are consistent with other order of magnitude articles. Jimp 03:56, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

 * In general I agree with all the proposals above, these articles are about "Sense of scale" of "Orders of magnitude". For the sake of clarity I might prefer "1-1000 metres (Order of magnitude)" rather than the other way around as I think people are more likely to be looking for the length than orders of magnitude when looking for this article. There will need to be a whole host of redirects. We could always do away with these satelite articles and just increase the detail in the order of magnitude article. SPACKlick (talk) 11:50, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

 * This seems to be redundant with Orders of magnitude (length). I see little value in this range of articles, and they should be merged or simply deleted (though if not, I essentially agree with the proposal).  —Quondum 18:29, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

 * In general, I agree with the proposals that are listed above. However, I agree with SPACKlick that the article should be named "1-1000 metres (Order of magnitude)", for clarity's sake. Ethanlu121 (talk) 12:03, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Don't disagree with renaming or consolidating. However, 1 to 1000 is a range across 3 orders of magnitude, so the article name as proposed would be a misnomer. Each order of magnitude is a change of 1 in the exponent (by convention power-of-10 notation).  Seems like a single article across all orders of magnitude would be better.  And as pointed out above, it exists.  Couldn't we redirect and work on contributing to that article?  Klaun (talk) 13:51, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

 * For my part I would consolidate all the articles on illustrations of orders of magnitude into one article for each dimension (one for lengths, one for volumes, one for masses etc) and remove all the worst examples of triviality or idiocy. I would NOT group by threes, but by topic. If all of the topics could fit comfortably into a single article, that would be fine, but only if the resultant combination were not uncomfortably large (which I suspect it would be, hence the thought of splitting it by dimension). Then ensure that all the obscure but possibly not unreasonable titles ("1 E0 m", "1 E1 m", "1 E2 m", etc -- take your pick) were reinstated as #redirects. In implementing this, we should ask how easily a reader might fail to find something that just appears nowhere. I often have been frustrated by such a search, and redirs are a cheap and effective measure. JonRichfield (talk) 05:51, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I'm inclined to agree that the page is a trivia magnet of little use ("the average height of an Andamese person"? Why?) However, it has survived two previous Requests for Deletion, and that isn't the question here. I think something like "1-1000 metres (orders of magnitude)" would be a significant improvement over what we have now, which is rather misleading, and therefore unhelpful, to my mind. Anaxial (talk) 08:06, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

 * I believe wholeheartedly with JonRichfield and think we should work towards that. However, Anaxial makes a good point that we are not here to bring about the demise of these articles (are we?), so I would have to vote for Klaun's solution. If we're allowed to recommend deletion, then let's start work on JonRichfield's plan. I would gladly contribute. StarHOG (talk) 15:31, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Regarding this specific RFC about the name of this particular article: 1-10 metres (Order of magnitude) is what I'd favour for this particular article, as it is concise, consistent and descriptive. However, I'd say that in general all the articles in Orders of magnitude apart from the main article seem to be not much more useful than a trivia page. Consider someone actually wishing to use the information in these articles: is anything more than the three or so examples in Orders of magnitude (length) likely to aid understanding or otherwise be useful? The information is currently fragmented between many articles, additionally making it useless for comparison between magnitudes. I'd recommend merging the lot into Orders of magnitude (length), and having around three good examples for each order of magnitude in that article. — crh 23    (Talk) 21:22, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Extremely selective merge of all the articles to Orders of magnitude (length), and redirect the plausible titles there. "Extremely selective" because it seems to me that the target article has already enough examples, so some of those articles with the highest triva-to-relevance ratio will likely just be deleted. Yes, there is WP:PRESERVE, but there is also WP:IINFO; the list of things with length between 10^n and 10^n+1 m is almost unlimited, and none of those is notable because it is of that length; hence, I see no reason to keep the most of them, just get a few relevant and varied examples for each length.
 * I did read both AfDs, and I found that neither establishes consensus for separate articles in the order of magnitude series, nor do they contain any compelling argument to that effect. The strongest argument I found is that Orders of magnitude (length) does not have html anchors to jump for instance to Orders of magnitude (length), so that 10 nanometre is useful, but that can be fixed by editing the target article. (The suggestion of grouping by threes could apply to subsections there?)
 * In any case, 1 metre should be redirected to Metre, 10 metres to Decametre, and so on (falling back on Metre if the specified multiple does not exist), and not to any "order of magnitude" article. Same for 1 E0 m, etc. Tigraan (talk) 16:16, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge per Tiagraan. They explain the situation about as good as I could. We're mostly dealing with trivial information here that goes against WP:ISNOT. Kingofaces43 (talk) 19:40, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - This RfC has been stale for almost a month, so I will go and ask it to be closed at WP:ANRFC. There is reasonable consensus to do some kind of merge/redirection but I do not see that a particular action has been agreed upon (unsurprisingly, I think my suggestion is the best).

Berryz Kobo

Berryz Kobo (Berryz工房) was a Japanese idol girl group formed by Up-Front Promotion in 2004 and associated with Hello! Project. The group's members consisted of Hello! Project Kids members Saki Shimizu, Momoko Tsugunaga, Miyabi Natsuyaki, Chinami Tokunaga, Maasa Sudo, Yurina Kumai, and Risako Sugaya; Maiha Ishimura left the group in 2005.

Berryz Kobo debuted with their first single in March of the same year. In 2007, Berryz Kobo became the youngest act ever to give a solo concert at Saitama Super Arena. In 2008, the group received the Best Asian Newcomer Award at the Asia Song Festival and a Cable Music Award at the 41st Japan Cable Awards ceremony. As of December 2014, the group had released 36 singles, nine studio albums, one EP and one compilation album. Berryz Kobo's combined CD and DVD sales exceeded one million copies in Japan alone.

2002–2003: Hello! Project Kids
All of the group's members were initially selected during the audition for Hello! Project Kids in 2002 and undertook professional training in Hello! Project.

In 2002, Maasa Sudo and Risako Sugaya appeared in the Minimoni movie Okashi na Daibōken! as members of the group 4Kids.

In 2003, some Hello! Project Kids' members were placed in bands led by Morning Musume members. Miyabi Natsuyaki was selected to be in Aa!, while Saki Shimizu and Momoko Tsugunaga were in the group ZYX. Both units were short-lived, and their activities stalled with the creation of Berryz Kobo.

2004: Formation and debut
The formation of Berryz Kobo was announced at a Hello! Project club event on 14 January 2004. The band was composed of eight members of Hello! Project Kids, who were then known as the "starting line-up". Initially it was planned to rotate all 15 members of Hello! Project Kids through the group, which would have given Berryz Kobo's members more time for school. Later, however, the idea was dismissed, and the remaining seven Hello! Project Kids members formed the group Cute in 2005.

On 3 March 2004, the new band debuted with the single "Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai", which ranked 18th on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart. Two more singles followed in April and May, and on 7 July the group released its first album, titled 1st Chō Berryz.

In addition to their activity as Berryz Kobo, the girls also performed as backup dancers in music videos of the newly created Hello! Project duo W.

2005: First top 10 hit and Ishimura's graduation
The single "Special Generation" was released on 30 March 2005, and ranked seventh on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart. It was Berryz Kobo's first single to rank in the top 10, and their first to sell more than 20,000 copies. At that time, the group's average age was less than 12 years old.

On 11 September 2005, it was announced that Maiha Ishimura would graduate from the group and Hello! Project to focus on her studies. Ishimura's graduation took place on 2 October 2005, on the last night of the Berryz Kobo autumn 2005 concert tour.

2006: Jiriri Kiteru
The 10th single, "Jiriri Kiteru," was released on 29 March. It was ranked in sixth place on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, setting a new high for the group.

2007: Youngest concert at Saitama Super Arena
In February 2007, Berryz Kobo made news headlines after it was announced that the group would be holding a concert at Saitama Super Arena on 1 April. The tickets for the two performances (a total of 20,000 seats) sold out almost two months before the premiere, and the group became the youngest act ever to perform a solo concert at the arena. At the time its members' average age was 13.8, with the previous record of 16.3 set by Morning Musume four years earlier.

On 27 June, Berryz released their 14th single "Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba." It ranked fourth on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, becoming their highest-selling single.

2008: Awards and NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen
On 12 March 2008 the group released "Dschinghis Khan," their first cover song and, as of 2012, their highest- selling single.

In October, Berryz Kobo participated at the 2008 Asia Song Festival in South Korea, representing Japan alongside W-inds and Anna Tsuchiya. Berryz won the festival's Best Asian Newcomer Award alongside the SM Entertainment group Shinee.

On 12 December, they performed at Sharam Q's 20th anniversary concert at the Nippon Budokan. The group took part in the 41st Japan Cable Awards (日本有線大賞) show at Nakano Sun Plaza on 17 December, performing "Dschinghis Khan," for which they received a Cable Music Award (有線音楽賞), awarded to the most requested song on the Cansystem cable radio network. The year ended with the group's debut at the 58th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, an annual music show broadcast on 31 December. They performed a number together with Morning Musume and Cute.

2009: Influenza and collaboration with Inazuma Eleven
In March, Berryz Kobo First Fan Club Tour in Hawaii '09 was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, where the band performed exclusively for the members of the Japanese fan club. It was the group's first overseas fan club tour.

The 22 March concert in Nagoya was cancelled just a few days before the date, because two members, Miyabi Natsuyaki and Risako Sugaya, were suffering from influenza.

On 25 April the girls celebrated the group's 100th solo concert in Utsunomiya, Tochigi during their spring concert tour Sono Subete no Ai ni.

On 3 June, the group released their 20th single and their first double A-side single, "Seishun Bus Guide/Rival." "Seishun Bus Guide" was a closing theme for the anime series Inazuma Eleven. On 21 June, the group held a mini-concert in South Korea, which became their first commercial solo concert outside Japan.

In autumn 2009, the group was again affected by influenza. On Tuesday, 13 October, fans were notified that Momoko Tsugunaga was diagnosed with influenza and would be absent from the concert scheduled for Saturday. The next day, Miyabi Natsuyaki was reported to be diagnosed as well after having felt sick the previous evening, and it was announced that the Sunday concert had to be cancelled due to Maasa Sudo and Risako Sugaya also having influenza. The next day, Hello! Project reported that Saki Shimizu caught influenza, affecting five of the seven members. In the beginning of November, the influenza got to Chinami Tokunaga, followed by Yurina Kumai a couple of days later;  causing them to miss the 7 and 8 November concerts.

2010: More Inazuma Eleven endings
In spring, the group performed in Bangkok, Thailand, for the first time.

On 3 March, the group released their third double A-side single, "Otakebi Boy Wao!/Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda!" The single debuted on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart at number three, making it their highest-ranking single to date. It also stayed in the top 10 for a second week, ranking ninth.

In July they released a new single, "Maji Bomber!!," which was used as an ending theme for both the anime Inazuma Eleven and the game the anime was based upon. Their next single and their final Inazuma Eleven ending theme, "Shining Power," was released on 10 November.

2011: Oricon Daily number 1 and first concert in America
On 3 March, the anniversary of the group's debut, the group began its seventh-anniversary tour.

Berryz Kobo's 25th single "Heroine ni Narō ka!" ("Let's be Heroines") reached number one on the Oricon Daily Singles Chart for 6 March. The concert that was scheduled for 12 March in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, was abruptly canceled due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami which hit the day before. All of the group's members were safe, but the tour had to be stopped. The concerts were either canceled or postponed until the end of March. At the end of March, Berryz Kobo released their seventh album, 7 Berryz Times.

In April, the group performed at Sakura-Con 2011, an anime convention in Seattle, Washington, United States. This was the first performance by Berryz Kobo in the United States. The group participated in events such as autograph sessions, question and answer sessions, and a concert. 3,500 people were reported to have attended the concert.

On 8 June, the group released their 26th single, "Ai no Dangan".

On 10 August, the group released their 27th single, titled "Aa, Yo ga Akeru".

2012
In 2012, Berryz Kobo's leader Saki Shimizu announced on her official blog that on 21 March, the new Berryz Kobo single "Be Genki! (Naseba Naru)" would be released.

The group's eighth album Ai no Album 8 was released on 22 February.

On 8–10 June, the group appeared at AnimeNEXT in Somerset, New Jersey, their second live performance in USA. On 20 June, the group released its second collaboration CD single with fellow Hello! Project Kids group Cute, named "Chō Happy Song" ("Super Happy Song.") The title tune is an overlay of two previously published songs, Berryz Kobo's "Because Happiness" and Cute's "Shiawase no Tochū" ("On the Road to Happiness") from their 2012 albums, which were composed and produced by Tsunku intentionally to form a new song when played simultaneously. The trick was originally scheduled to be announced at a summer Hello! Project concert, but was uncovered by fans in mid-April. The song became widely discussed on the Internet, and the set of three tracks, "Because Happiness", "Shiawase no Tochū", and "Chō Happy Song", was hastily released as a digital download single on 28 April.

On 25 July, the group released their 29th single, "Cha Cha Sing," a cover song of the popular Thai song "Row Mah Sing" by artist Thongchai McIntyre. The single was the group's first to include a solo song, "Momochi! Yurushite-nyan Taisō," which was performed by member Momoko Tsugunaga.

2013
It was announced on 19 May in Tokyo's Hibiya Park that Berryz Kobo would be holding a concert at the Nippon Budokan arena on 29 November 2013.

On 2 October, the group released their 33rd single, "Motto Zutto Issho ni Itakatta," which became their highest selling single (with a reported total of 40,845 copies,) beating Dschinghis Khan's 37,096 copies. On 11 November, Berryz Kobo held their special concert at the Nippon Budokan.

2014: Tenth anniversary and indefinite suspension
It was announced on 2 August 2014, at the summer Hello! Project concerts that Berryz Kobo would be going on an "indefinite suspension starting Spring 2015". The girls decided together that they would like to explore other opportunities. The decision to call this an "indefinite suspension" was made since the girls felt calling this move a "disbandment" would cause Berryz Kobo to disappear or fade away. The group continued its activities until the spring of 2015, when their final appearances and performances would be announced and take place. Tsunku added he would "like to see them chase new dreams" and asked for continued support throughout their remaining time as an active group.

On 24 February 2015, Shimizu and Tokunaga announced on their blogs they would remain with the company as advisors, where they would act as the "go-between" for the staff and members. The next day Sugaya announced she would take time off to focus on her personal life. The following day Kumai stated on her blog that she would finish her university degree and would pursue a modeling career.

Performances outside Japan
Berryz Kobo have performed and made appearances outside Japan numerous times.

In 2009 Mnet and Up-Front Works arranged a Berryz Kobo mini-concert in South Korea on 21 June at Yonsei University Auditorium, titled Berryz Kobo Mini Live in Korea. This was the group's first concert outside Japan.

In 2010 Berryz Kobo was chosen over Morning Musume and Cute to perform in Thailand. Their concert was held on 27 March at the Hua Mark Indoor Stadium, formally known as Rajamangala National Stadium. This was the group's second performance outside Japan.

On the last day of the group's Autumn 2010 concert tour, captain Saki Shimizu announced that they would be performing at the anime convention Sakura-Con in Seattle, the United States on 22–24 April 2011. Their American concert debut at Sakura-Con 2011 had an audience of 3,500. Fans traveled from all over the world, including many parts of the US, Canada, France, Mexico, and Japan to support the group as they celebrated their seventh year together. During the weekend the members appeared at the event's opening and closing ceremonies, participated in a live audience Q&A, held two 60-minute sessions where they signed autographs, and performed an hour-long concert consisting of 14 songs. This was the group's third performance outside Japan, and first outside Asia. Berryz Kobo was the third Hello! Project major act to perform outside Asia following Morning Musume (in Los Angeles, 2009 and Paris, 2010), and Erina Mano (in Los Angeles, 2010).

On 8–10 June 2012, the group performed at AnimeNEXT, an anime convention in Somerset, New Jersey, in the United States.

.25-06 Remington

The .25-06 Remington was a wildcat cartridge for nearly half a century before being standardized by Remington in 1969.

Its design was based on the .30-06 Springfield cartridge necked-down (case opening made narrower) to .257 caliber keeping a similar cartridge length of its parent case, thus being chambered in standard-length actions. Nominal bullet diameter is 0.257 in, and bullet weights range from 75 to 120 gr.

History
Charles Newton necked down the .30-06 Springfield cartridge in 1912 to accept a 117-grain .25-35 Winchester bullet, but the resulting .256 Newton cartridge did not catch on. Newton's early modification encouraged commercial release of a shortened case (from 63 to 49 mm) as the .250-3000 Savage in 1915. Frankford Arsenal developed an experimental .25-06 during World War I; and distribution of surplus United States military equipment through the Civilian Marksmanship Program following the war encouraged independent gunsmiths to experiment with the cartridge. A. O. Niedner of Dowagiac, Michigan, introduced rifles for the .25 Niedner in 1920. Niedner Arms Corporation retained the 17° 30 .30-06 shoulder chambering .25 caliber barrels rifled with one twist in 12 in. Similar cartridges were identified as the .25 Hi-Power, .25 Whelen (analogous to .35 Whelen), or .25-100-3000 (to indicate the ability to achieve 3,000 feet-per-second with a 100-grain bullet rather than the 87-grain bullet used in the .250-3000 Savage). Greater case capacity offered minimal velocity improvement over the .250-3000 Savage case with contemporary smokeless powders. Availability of DuPont's Improved Military Rifle (IMR) powders encouraged commercial release of the .257 Roberts using the 57 mm Mauser case in 1934. Release of IMR 4350 in 1940 and availability of surplus 4831 powder salvaged from Oerlikon 20 mm cannon cartridges after World War II greatly improved performance of the full-length .25-06 case.

Performance
Most .25-caliber bullets have high ballistic coefficients without being heavy, which, combined with the large case capacity of its parent .30-06 case, allows relatively high muzzle velocities without heavy recoil. The combination of high ballistic coefficients with high muzzle velocities gives the .25-06 a very flat trajectory as well as retaining kinetic energy down-range.

The cartridge is capable of propelling a 117 grain (7.6 g) bullet at up to 3,200 feet per second (980 m/s) and energy levels up to 2500 ft.lbf. Bullets lighter than 75 grains are available in .257 caliber but were designed for the smaller .25-20 Winchester and .25-35 Winchester cartridges and are too lightly constructed for the high velocities of the .25-06.

The cartridge has less felt recoil than a .30-06 in a similar-weight rifle, due to the lighter-weight bullets used. Shooters who are recoil sensitive will find the recoil from the .25-06 easier on the shoulder, contributing to good shot placement. This cartridge is not quite as powerful as the .257 Weatherby Magnum, usually running 200 - 300 ft/s slower with a given bullet weight, but almost 200 ft/s faster than the .257 Roberts at its hottest loads (i.e. .257 Roberts +P).

SAAMI pressure limit for the .25-06 is 63,000 PSI.

Sporting uses
The .25-06 is generally considered to be a good round for medium-sized game such as deer and antelope because of its combination of substantial kinetic energy and moderate recoil. The addition of a flat trajectory makes it particularly popular in open terrains such as plains and mountains, where longer-range shots on game are not seldom, since its flat trajectory forgives range-estimation errors up to 300 yards if sighted to its maximum point blank range.

Bullets of different weights and construction make the .25-06 Remington a fine alternative for hunting species ranging from prairie dogs and coyotes to mid-sized deer and sheep. Although capable of taking heavier game such as elk, many hunters prefer a larger caliber and a heavier bullet for larger species.

Bullets range from lightly constructed 75-grain bullets with muzzle velocities in the 3,700 ft/s (1,130 m/s) range to more robust 120-grain bullets with muzzle velocities in the 3,000 ft/s (915 m/s) range. Most manufacturers of bolt-action or single-shot rifles offer the .25-06 as a standard chambering and factory loaded ammunition is available from Remington, Winchester, Federal Cartridge and most other major manufacturers.

Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream
Shonda Rhimes is currently listed as the director of Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream in her filmography section, but she is not in fact the director of the movie, but rather was the research director of the documentary. Listing her as the director is misleading and confusing and should be changed. I think the fact that she's previously noted as being the research director for the film previously in the article should suffice. The part in the filmography section which credits her as the director should be changed and we can just leave in that she was in fact the research director but not the actual director of the documentary.

Need help
I just found this page after I requested a permission, and found a (new to me) link there, to what I am guessing is a MediaWiki project that I have no idea about. Apparently, 2 years ago someone was able to edit under my name at that page. It may be because I don't have a registered account at that project, but I am unsettled by finding it there. Here is the link [] Thanks, in advance. Hamster Sandwich (talk) 00:48, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * May I assume that the last two edits I see at

 * I see that a meta admin reverted you:

 * https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants:IdeaLab/Arbitration_Tribunal&action=history

 * I have alerted him to this thread:

 * https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ABillinghurst&type=revision&diff=18716853&oldid=18711245

 * Issue at metawiki, resolved there — billinghurst  sDrewth  01:48, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * 1) the complainant removed a user comment to a proposal in their name, that was reverted. Subsequently it would appear that the complainant had issues in a comment in their original submission. How they put it their during their submission I can only reflect is the complainant's issue. What happened to the user's account in 2016 is beyond comment and investigation. — billinghurst  sDrewth  01:29, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * (ec) Addendum. User has been advised to change their password. First step that anyone should do when they believe that there is a chance that your account has been compromised is to firstly check the email address for your account, then change your password. Use a unique, complex password, preferably of minimum of 10 characters. — billinghurst  sDrewth  01:41, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * I apologize for removing the comment by another editor. I inadvertently removed that comment when I found what I thought was a vexatious comment left by a red-link "Hamster Sandwich" at the foot of an infobox of some kind. I thank billingshurst for fixing all of that up, at any rate. I can't explain the addition of material to MadiaWiki in 2016 in my "red-link" name, other to state I myself did not make it/ them. Hamster Sandwich (talk) 01:38, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Maybe a weird glitch in the software? It is plausible that someone else registered that name (who knows how long ago) and made one edit in 2016, and somehow the system didn't realize that you had already registered it in 2005. By all means change your password, in case he somehow has the same one.

 * In 2005 all Wikimedia sites had separate user accounts and passwords, but starting in February 2013 (completed in April 2015) the WMF forcibly renamed all clashing user accounts so that every user now had a single unified login across all Wikimedia sites. Maybe they missed one?

 * The fact that you could edit on meta tells me that you have unified login. Could you please check

 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Hamster+Sandwich

 * And look for anything else on another wiki that you didn't post?

 * Finally, I don't see anything here that needs an English Wikipedia admin. Would you be so kind as to cut and paste this to your talk page and we can continue this discussion there? Just replace this entire thread with a link to where it was moved to. Or ask me and I can move it for you. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:05, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Password has been changed to an newer strengthened one. It seems to be one specific case of a rather nonsense edit made in a (apparently random) infobox that was ignored for two years till I found it. WELL DONE ME, eh?. I only found it when I saw a new search parameter for my past edits at a request for permissions page. Regards, Hamster Sandwich (talk) 05:35, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Addendum: I think it might be meaningful that when I made what I thought was the removal of the footer of the info box (inadvertantly, and I have no idea how) reverting a comment on the talk page. My mistake there. The meaningful part is, that after I made that edit, I got a message welcoming me for my first edit over there. Where I had never been. Wikidata, yes, I removed some trash over there last week; but MetaWhatever, no. 05:47, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Possible solution- After racking my brain, in 2016 I had (as much as it pains me to describe someone) a skeevy hacker kid living two doors down from me. At the time we were both on the same WiFi network (coffee shop downstairs, unlimited internet $2.25 a day and a free coffee!) For what it's worth, he was just that kind of smartass. Not obnoxious, just smartass. Whatever, it was nothing that wasn't easily fixed and I have new security protocol. I am at the same risk as any other wikipedia editor in that respect. Hamster Sandwich (talk) 06:49, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Compromised account?
A glitch in the WMF software? Maybe. But, considering the fact that a number of accounts have been compromised recently, some of them admin accounts, and considering the manner in which Hamster Sandwich returned to editing (i.e. casually asking for "The Hammer" back at WP:BN), and their very odd response to being turned down (Abrupt messages concludng with "End communication"), has anyone actually looked into the possibility that this is a compromised account? Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:20, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * (Scatches head) He seems to have the same sense of humor he had with this post from 2012, so if he is a new Hamster Sandwich (New Hamster Sandwich would be a great name for a punk band, BTW) he is doing a fine job of imitating the old one. --Guy Macon (talk) 06:44, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Please participate to the talk pages consultation
Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Teahouse Hosts
Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I am doing a Teahouse 'spring clean' and have removed your name from the Teahouse Hosts list, as you've not been very active there recently. In fact, your last contribution there was 12 months ago. That doesn't mean you're not welcome to answer questions there at any time in the future, or to sign up again as a Host if your interest reawakens.

Talk:Grayson Boucher

Untitled
To Wikipedia editors

I wrote this article on Grayson Boucher (aka The Proffesor). And I just saw it might get deleted by Wikipedia. However I do not feel this should not be deleted. He is a very popular basketball player on the "And 1" Street Ball Tour and a public figure and has a lot of fans, as do most of the And One players. He has been featured in "ESPN-The Magazine", and several newspapers-you can look him up on the net. I also see this is considered as possibly being a "Vanity" article but you can rest assure I am not Grayson Boucher and I am planning to write other articles on other street ball players. Thank you.

- I second this opinion, deleting something because it's not relevant or important to you personally sort of violates the spirit of Wikipedia. It's sad to see people abusing the speedy delete system.

-- Thirding the Do Not Delete opinion. I don't know much about this wiki stuff & editing stuff but I know that this page on Grayson Boucher was the EXACT page I was looking for after watching some of his Youtube stuff after reading about him on ESPN.com  He's been in Sports Illustrated, Slam, Vibe, ESPN Mag - it'd be ridiculous not to have this page really.

From an admin
Ok, this article pretty much has to be deleted by speedy delete, but that has absolutely nothing to do with "vanity" or the relative notability of the person. In fact, I stay miles away from sports stuff, and I've heard the person mentioned on National Public Radio, in a story about Streetball. However, when an article is on Votes for Deletion, you cannot evade the VfD by recreating the article under a new name. Any article that is deleted by VfD must be deleted on sight if recreated. On the VfD, I'd probably vote "keep," for whatever it's worth, but that does not apply to a vote circumvention like this. Note that I will not delete this talk page, as it should remain to show my reasoning for the speedy delete. Geogre 17:30, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * This article looks like it was written by a small child, Boucher's younger brother perhaps? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.212.228.194 (talk) 07:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Geogre, can you provide a link to the VfD, and/or explain why this is a willful evasion rather than an unknowing/unrelated recreation? A Google News search makes it pretty clear this guy has received widespread media coverage in reliable sources from NPR to ESPN to the LA times. That's no endorsement of the current version, but it seems entirely appropriate that there should be an article about this guy. I've even heard of him myself, and I don't follow street ball at all. -Pete (talk) 01:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Russell Sage

Untitled
The old infomation on this page was absolutely wrong....  First of all, Russell Sage was a man and he was dead when this library was built...  His widow, who was one of the great phlantropists for New York in the early 1900s.

From the Library History Page:

THE JOHN JERMAIN MEMORIAL LIBRARY: A BRIEF HISTORY

Sag Harbor's beautiful John Jermain Memorial Library was built in 1910 by Mrs. Russell Sage in memory of her grandfather, Major John Jermain, and presented as a gift to the people of the Village of Sag Harbor. John Jermain served in the Westchester Militia during the American Revolution. Following the War he moved to Sag Harbor and married Margaret Pierson of Bridgehampton. Their daughter, Margaret Pierson Jermain, was the mother of Margaret Olivia Slocum who married Russell Sage, a financier. --TheWoodmanIII 06:25, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Shenandoah, NY?
Our article follows the Bigraphical Directory of the United States Congress in saying that Sage was born in "Shenandoah, Oneida County, N.Y.". The only Shenandoah, New York in DeLorme's New York gazetteer or in MapQuest is in Dutchess County, near Fishkill, NY. Anyone have any idea what happened to Sage's Shenandoah? -- Mwanner | Talk 21:36, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

quote from “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator” by Lefevre
(Chapter V) … "The more I made the more I spent. This is the usual experience with most men. No, not necessarily with easy-money pickers, but with every human being who is not a slave of the hoarding instinct. Some men, like old Russell Sage, have the money-making and money-hoarding instinct equally well developed, and of course they die disgustingly rich."

Selling "privileges"
Can anyone shed some light on what is meant by 'engaged in the business of selling "privileges"' in the first paragraph. I have delinked it, since our article on privileges does not seem to be relevent. I suspect it came from the 1911 Britannica. -- Mwanner | Talk 01:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I've found the original source . The original phrase was 'he became a money-lender and a dealer in "puts" and "calls" and "privileges"'.  I have restored the puts and calls, linked, which do make sense; were they removed by someone unfamiliar with options?  Anyway, it seems to need some work. -- Mwanner | Talk 02:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * From Option (finance): "Privileges were options sold over the counter in nineteenth century America, with both puts and calls on shares offered by specialized dealers. Their exercise price was fixed at a rounded-off market price on the day or week that the option was bought, and the expiry date was generally three months after purchase. They were not traded in secondary markets." - Nunh-huh 07:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

poor wording of sentence in death and legacy section
Not sure how to correct it but this sentence and a half I think needs to be corrected

"In addition she gave extensively to the Emma Willard School and to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).[5] who graduated from RPI in 1859."

Triethyl borate

Triethyl borate is a colorless liquid with the formula B(OCH2CH3)3. It is an ester of boric acid and ethanol. It has few applications.

It is a weak Lewis acid (AN = 17 as measured by the Gutmann–Beckett method). It burns with a green flame and solutions of it in ethanol are therefore used in special effects and pyrotechnics. It is formed by the reaction of boric acid and ethanol in the presence of acid catalyst, where it forms according to the equilibrium reaction:

 * B(OH)3 + 3 C2H5OH (C2H5O)3B + 3 H2O

In order to increase the rate of forward reaction, the formed water must be removed from reaction media by either azeotropic distillation or adsorption. It is used as a solvent and/or catalyst in preparation of synthetic waxes, resins, paints, and varnishes. It is used as a component of some flame retardants in textile industry and of some welding fluxes.
