User:Redwolf24/Albums

Here are all the albums I own. This page may qualify as vanity and will give me a few useless edits. However here's the good part: I'm gonna make a good page for every album I own that doesn't already have an article. A fine example is Live (AC/DC album) for an article I made from scratch.

I am a Radiology Registrar, now working at the West Yorkshire Radiology Academy in Leeds. I have an interest in the internet, webdesign, open source as well as medicine! When it comes to webdesign, I'm a proud user of PHP and have worked on several projects with a broad spectrum of uses and users.

As a radiologist, I spend a lot of time over at radiopaedia.org trying to build a wiki of radiology for radiologists.

History

 * I became aware of Wikipedia and arrived here in early 2005.
 * I think my main interest will be related to medical articles, and WikiProject "Clinical medicine"
 * I also intend making some alteration to pages relating to christianity.

Hello MikeMorley, Thanks for your contribution to the Punt Pole section of "Punts". I agree with you that traditional spruce poles are generally nicer to use, but is it really true that they are lighter? I have no scientific data available on the subject, do you? I note that R.T. Rivington's book says that both wooden and aluminium poles for pleasure punts weigh about the same (9-10.5 lbs). However Rivington also says that if a hollow aluminium pole fills with water (if the seal around the shoe is not perfect) it becomes uselessly heavy.

So... I tend to agree with you about wooden poles being nicer, but I think we need slightly less POV here. As I have been reminded several times WP is supposed to be neutral and "encyclopedic". In particular we might mention that most punt stations (in Oxford at least) now only use aluminium poles. I don't know why but I guess that its because (a) F. Collar's of South Hinksey (the only source of wooden poles in 1985) have closed down (b) wooden poles need more maintenance or (c) wooden poled can snap when old (I broke one once) or (d) aluminium poles are cheaper.

Do you have time to do some research, and to write a neutral, balanced paragraph about poles? Thruston 13:21, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Image:Suziperry.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Suziperry.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Chowbok  ☠  06:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

WikiCast and debates...
Hi.

A couple of months ago, you expressed some interest when a sugestion was made concerning getting Cmabridge Debates online..

WikiCast is still interested alibet if only as recorded material for the section on commons...

A response on this would be much appreciated...

ShakespeareFan00 17:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

spam tagging
Mike, I think some of your spam tags have been inappropriate. That tag is intended for blatant advertising. Just because an article is about a company or product, doesn't mean that the article is promotional. In any case, the last two I've seen were from an established editor, so I've replaced the speedy tags with a notability tag and an explanatory edit summary. As you may not know, it's actually considered a bit rude to speedy tag articles from established editors, rather than take them through a slower process like prod or AfD (in my opinion, it's confrontational to tag anything with speedy, but that's neither here nor there). I encourage you to continue new page patrolling (we need as many as we can get). I just hope my advice can make you a better patroller.--Kchase T 20:44, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey Kchase - I hadn't actually investigate the page author which is a fault on my part, but I hope you can see that it looks a tad spamish to see a lot of new pages of the form "X is an implementation of Scheme. Link to X homepage." I thought speedy was the best way to do it, but I guess prod would've been better. Apologies! --MikeMorley 13:49, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi Mike,
 * thanks for the apology on my talk page. Very nice of you. I know New Page patrolling is a tough job and it is easy to make mistakes. The reason for the stupid stubs I made is that I found it handy to have some minimal stuff like the external link and a minimal text to start a few articles from. I don't think necessarily all Scheme implementations need an article. I was just creating articles from the template at Scheme (programming language) naming the major implementations. Anyway no hard feelings. --MarSch 14:02, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mike -- I've just removed a couple of your other speedy tags. There's a mistake you're making that's actually very common -- it's important to notice that the speedy deletion criterion A7 (for unremarkable people/groups/bands/etc.) sets a much, much lower threshold than the notability guidelines on wikipedia such as WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, et cetera. In other words: something not being notable is not a valid reason for speedy deletion (although it is a good reason for ordinary deletion). The two speedy tags in question: Bangalore Model United Nations claims significance (which is all that's required by CSD A7) when it says that Model UN conference is one of the premiere ones in southern India. Whether it's actually notable is quite debatable, which is why an AfD debate should be held there. The other was Cougnou, which you called a "non-notable baked good," which is an argument I don't think would fly even at AfD (but feel free to try it) -- not every class of thing has to be notable to be included. Anyway, like I said a lot of people have this confusion at first with speedy deletion -- but thanks for your work -- one way or another it's good to catch these questionable articles. Mango juice talk 18:13, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Much the same applies to bio articles like Martin Hall. You tagged this as despite the article saying that the subject is "Head Coach of Wales Rugby League Team" — a clear assertion of notability. Similarly Liu Peiqi makes several assertions of notability; "he was awarded the Golden Rooster for Best Actor (China's version of the Academy Award).", " he was awarded the San Sebastian International Film Festival Award for Best Actor, becoming the first Chinese actor ever to receive that award." to name but two. Damian Gibson meets WP:BIO as "Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league". As Mangojuice says, thanks for the patrolling you're doing, but it would be good if you could familiarise yourself with the notability guidelines, especially in specific cases such as sportspeople, actors and so on.

Cambridge Union Page
Greetings. The activity on the Cambridge Union page was brought to my attention and so I've proposed, what I hope is, an agreed NPOV text for the section that keeps getting anon edits. I've noticed you've worked on the page before and would appreciate your comments. Have also posted messages for the other main editors of the article.

nhartman

Thanks for letting me know about your re-write of the section in question. I like the new text and hopefully it will help with the recent issues of hostile edits in that section (although I now see that it's already been just change back around again with no explanation)...

--Nhartman 08:05, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help in resolving this issue. The hostile user and associated, alleged, sockpuppets seems to have decided to back off after my longwinded detailed post of why many of the things they were writing were false or misleading (but not without first deleting all that to cover it up and then a few more hostile posts in the article ;-) ). Anyway, the text now is essentially as proposed to begin with and it seems that the active editors of the article agreed with that so, assuming that the hostile user's activity stops, then this issue should (fingers crossed) be finally behind us.  I'm fairly new to playing an active role in editing articles so I guess this was like jumping in the deep end!  I've been able to work on some other articles too and now hope I can focus most of my attention there. I'll also have to see what other historical bits about CUS that might be of interest. Any advice is of course appreciated. Cheers!

--Nhartman 00:13, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Notability on the CUSU page
Not a big deal, but I thought the criterion for notability was not the existence of a page, but whether there were sufficient links to the person from elsewhere in Wikipedia, and the inherent notability of the person in question.

I'd agree it's a question of shades of grey in the case of Mike Grabiner, but just though it would be useful to clarify.

Mpntod 15:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

 * To clarify from my edit-summary (which perhaps wasn't clear), my line of thought ran along these lines: Grabiner was listed as a notable alumnus of CUSU, yet had a wiki-red-link. It was my thinking that Mike Grabiner probably hadn't met a notability guideline and, therefore, probably wasn't a notable alumnus.

 * It's normally worth taking a quick peek at the 'what links here' link as a second check. It's less of a problem recently, but it certainly used to be a problem that notable people didn't necessarily have a Wikipedia article about them.

 * Hi, sorry for being out of touch recently, and for not replying to your earlier message. At the moment, the Union is in ongoing negotiations with the British Library Sound Archive about it's past archive, and with various other 3rd parties over it's modern archive and on-going recording of debates. Further, in house digital video recording is being developed. I'm not sure, in any-case, that Union debates could be released under a free license suitable for WikiCast. I will, however, keep half an eye on WikiCast and bear it in mind! MikeMorley 00:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Can you please impress upon them, the need for debates to be accessible? Also can you leave some more detailed notes for me over on the WikiCast wiki in relation to the current situation?

 * Perosnally, I feel that to take the 'current' recordings under a restrictive licence would be a mistake, but this as I stress a personal viewpoint.

 * By allowing the debates to be on WikiCast (under NC if needed), would give both the CUS and the speakers a far greater profile than if they were under a restrictive licence.

 * I would of course suggest that the CUS hold a debate about open content in general. (assuming you can find speakers on both sides.) :-)

 * ShakespeareFan00 16:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The major reason for not allowing an un-restricted release of the debates is that it provides a disincentive for people to join the Union. As debates are only open to members and their guests (providing the guests aren't eligible to join the Union), we don't feel it appropriate to generally release the debates as it would really devalue the benefits of membership - something we're disinclined to do, given our major source of revenue is sponsorship. I'll leave something on the WikiCast wiki when I get a chance, but I'm currently revising for finals. MikeMorley 17:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

 * OK Thanks, That clarifys the matter.

So do you know anyone that would be willing to host 'open' debates albiet with support from CUS if needed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ShakespeareFan00 (talk • contribs) 19:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC).

Apologies for my incorrect edit on the Cambridge Union page -- I could have sworn I saw the UK politician of the same name listed to speak in a debate on a termcard, and erroneously jumped to the conclusion that someone else must have confused the two.

Hi, I saw your photos of Theaker in the commons, and corrected the caption. She was born in NZ, but lives locally. Do you have any other photos? or know of any? She is performing on Sat and Sun next at the Zummerfestival in Freidrickshafen(?) so if you know of anyone going to that, photos of that show would be very welcome. She has her own web site BTW, http://www.artyms.com. Would you mind your photos being used on it? with atribution of course.

--Prep 18:46, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Feel free to use the pictures on the web site. All in all I made a few dozen photos of her during her stay in Linz; of course not all of them are worth being published. Anyway, if you give me some address (email, ftp, postal), I can send them to you and you can make your own selection. --NeoUrfahraner 06:21, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature. When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Prostitution in Austria
Hi NeoUrfahraner. You are off to such a great start on the article Prostitution in Austria that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. Appearing on the Main Page would help bring publicity to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. Again, great job on the article. --  Jreferee  (Talk) 14:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I am glad to hear this. As I understand, it is not required that I nominate the article myself - if you think it may qualify, feel free to nominate it. Since I am not a native English speaker, however, I am afraid that the language of the article is not yet good enough; maybe it would be helpful if you could make some language improvements before nominating it. Thank you, --NeoUrfahraner 15:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Why is the p-value not the probability of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis?

 * The p-value is not the probability of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis. Why? "the p-value is the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme as a given data point, under the null hypothesis" If a reject the null hypothesis when p is say, lower than 5%, and repeat the test for many true null hypotheses, than I will reject true null hypotheses in approx. 5% of the tests. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 05:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you're mistaking p-values with significance levels. 5% is the significance level, not the p-value. If you get a p-value of 30% and your significance level is 5%, then you don't reject the null hypothesis. 5% would then be the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis, given that the null hypothesis is true, and 30% would be the p-value. Michael Hardy (talk) 19:35, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Revanche
I don't really mind which way round this happens - I'll add from the de-Wiki, and perhaps if you would check it afterwards to make sure I've got it right.HeartofaDog (talk) 10:26, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 17:09, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, done - please look it over.HeartofaDog (talk) 18:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Just for the records I added the translation source in the references. I removed some parts which actually did not happen in that way in the movie. I changed "Susanne says that he shouldn't do that, and shouldn't even think about doing that." to "Susanne says that he can't do that, and mustn't even think about doing that." because Susanne said this very heavily. From my understanding, the new version is more forcing, but correct me if I am wrong. Thank you. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 07:52, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

'Left hand side of the Danube'
Hello NeoUrfahrener, When I read this remark on your User page, I was curious about it. Here in the United States, I am unaware of any habit of speech that would enable a listener to know from what vantage point the left hand side, or right hand side, was intended to be understood. Perhaps their is an upstream, or downstream habit that I have not heard about. You seem confident that the reader will understand. Is this because in Austria, or elsewhere within your experience, there is some habit of speech by which listeners would know which side was considered the left side? Do all cultures follow this convention? I took a quick whirl at trying to find out these answers elsewhere and came up empty, so I figured I'd just ask you. Thank you. Publius3 (talk) 06:04, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Good question. I use to the convention that left and right is defined looking downstream, which is also defined in de:Orografie. I was thinking that this convention is international, but it seems that this assumption is wrong. Since the Danube in Linz is flowing from west to east, left means north and right means south, so maybe I should better change to that notation. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 19:00, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

 * No need to change, I think. After reading your response, I was able to locate a few discussions in English that mentioned the left/right side convention in 'orography', -- which itself was a new word to me. It appears quite likely that

this convention is common amongst at least European/American geographers. Vielen Dank! Publius3 (talk) 05:19, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Voestalpine
I'm so confused!

I was looking for someone who contributed to the much longer German Wikipedia article, but I didn't know who would know English. I thought I had seen your name in both histories, and I was right.

If you'll look at the article's talk page, you'll see what my problems are, sort of. Only someone who has seen the sources used for the German article would understand, and none of the English ones seem helpful.

Thanks. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 19:20, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

I've had a lot more luck reaching you on your German-language talk page. Anyway, I still hope you'll take a look at what I've done, especially under "American operations". There's really a lot of confusion there. I'm ready to conclude that nothing uner that section is about the company voestalpine AG. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 20:11, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I would like those interested to look at my comments on Talk:Voestalpine and Talk:VA Tech Wabag. There are three options:

 * Leave VAI as it is now, which doesn't make sense because it is a separate company that was only 21.25 percent owned by the company the article is about.
 * Add VAI to the VA Tech Wabag article, though I haven't proved it was the biggest unit of VA Tech. I've just found more information about VAI than any of the others.
 * Start an article about VAI, though I don't really have enough information about it. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 21:10, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Soory for my late reply; I was several weeks on vacation. I agree that the best solution is an article about VAI on its own (cf. de:Siemens VAI and ru:Siemens VAI Metals Technologies. Unfortunately, I currently do not have the time to start such an article. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 16:53, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I don't feel comfortable with using just the information that I have now, but it would still be a better article than the German one. And most definitely it would be better than the Russian one. Sorry I took so long to reply but I don't go back through my history that often and you responded here. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 16:46, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I did it. See what you think. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 17:12, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Again sorry for my late reply. I now checked Voest-Alpine Industrieanlagenbau and agree that it is already better than de:Siemens VAI. Thank you for your work. What is still missing is a seperate article for VA Technologie. The redirect to VA Tech Wabag is a bit misleading. From the currently available information, however, it is not so easy to extract a separate article. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 06:20, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you still around? I would like to know the sources for de:Siemens VAI because the translation of that article reads very much like what was Siemens VAI in English. Someone suggested merging the historical content of that article with Voest-Alpine Industrieanlagenbau and I did the merge but have so far found no sources.— Vchimpanzee  ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 19:25, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello Vchimpanzee. The essential part of the article was written by user User:Siemens Metals (de:User:Siemens Metals) in 2011. I guess this is some more or less official representation of the company. You could try to contact User:Siemens Metals at the user page. Unfortunately this user is not very active (the last edit was in Sept 2011 in the German and in Oct 2011 in the English Wikipedia). In addition, on the English Wikipedia User:Siemens Metals is blocked since June 2012 for reasons that are not clear to me. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 13:03, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

My feeling on the subject is that there was some official web site that said all this, because the Voestalpine web site's history of the company is divided into similar time periods. I could tell the German article was unsourced, but I was hoping you might have some knowledge of what was going on. I don't know that contacting Siemens Metals would work, since the name is blocked for being that of a company. You can't use your company's name if you work for that company. On English Wikipedia that is considered promotion.— Vchimpanzee  ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 21:30, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * So on the Englisch Wikipedia, companies have to use a less obvious accounts for less obvious promotion. AFAIK there is no such an easy to bypass policy in the German Wikipedia. Anyway, I saw that you already contacted de:User:Siemens Metals - maybe this will help. In addition you could try to check some brochures from the official website that might contain some further information. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 16:05, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No answer from this person. I may email Siemens. Even worse, some of my links no longer work.— Vchimpanzee  ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 21:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Medical Translation Newsletter
 Wikiproject Medicine; Translation Taskforce

Medical Translation Newsletter

Issue 1, June/July 2014 by CFCF, Doc James

sign up for monthly delivery

This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice. note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject Medicine

Spotlight - Simplified article translation

Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.

Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
 * WHO's list of Essential Medicines
 * Neglected tropical diseases
 * Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.

We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.

What's happening?

I've () taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
 * IEG grant

For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
 * Wikimania 2014

There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish. What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
 * Integration progress

 * Swedish Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that. Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
 * Dutch Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
 * Polish Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article. (This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
 * Arabic The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.

Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.

The European Payments Union (EPU) was an organization in existence from July 1950 to December 1958, when it was replaced by the European Monetary Agreement.

With the end of World War II, economic depression struck Europe. Of all the non-neutral powers, only the GDP of the United Kingdom had not decreased because of the war, West Germany's GDP was at its 1908 level and France's at its 1891 level. Trade was based on US dollar reserves (the only acceptable reserve currency), which Europe lacked. Therefore, the transfer of money (immediately after each transaction) increased the opportunity cost of trading. Some trade was reduced to barter. The situation led the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC) to create the EPU, all members signing the agreement on 1 July 1950. The EPU accounted for trades but did not transfer money until the end of the month. It changed the landscape from bilateral trades of necessity (trading with partners because of outstanding debts) to multilateral trades. The EPU also forced liberalization by mandating that members eliminate discriminatory trade measures. The EPU was a general success with trade levels more than doubling during its existence. By its close in 1958, convertibility of currency was a possibility, no longer needing government permissions in European countries.

Shuttle Training Aircraft

The Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) is a former NASA training vehicle that duplicated the Space Shuttle's approach profile and handling qualities, allowing pilots to simulate Shuttle landings under controlled conditions before attempting the task on board the orbiter. The STA was also flown to assess weather conditions just prior to Space Shuttle launches and landings.

Development
NASA developed the STA using the Grumman Gulfstream II as the underlying aircraft platform. During the early phases of the Shuttle program, NASA considered using the Boeing 737 airliner as the basis for the STA, but rejected it due to cost and opted for the less-expensive Gulfstream II.

The aircraft's exterior was modified to withstand the high aerodynamic forces incurred during training sorties. A redesigned cockpit provided a high-fidelity simulation of the Shuttle Orbiter's controls and pilot vantage point; even the seats were fitted in the same position as those in the Space Shuttle.

Operational history
The four STAs were normally located at the NASA Forward Operating Location in El Paso, Texas and rotated through Ellington Field (Houston, Texas) for maintenance. The STA was also used at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was primarily flown by astronauts practicing landings at the Shuttle Landing Facility and White Sands Space Harbor as well as to assess weather conditions prior to Space Shuttle launches and landings.

On December 3, 2003, a NASA Gulfstream II Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) was flying a series of simulated shuttle landings to the Kennedy Space Center shuttle landing facility. On board the aircraft was an unidentified NASA astronaut pilot and two training personnel. The aircraft was on final approach at 13,000 feet when onboard instruments indicated a malfunction on one of the jet engine thrust reversers. The aircraft landed safely. A post-landing inspection showed that one of the 585-pound, 4-foot-wide, 5-foot-long thrust reversers had fallen off the aircraft. Divers later found the thrust reverser on the bottom of the nearby Banana River. An investigation showed that a bolt failed, releasing the part from the aircraft.

Flight profile
The STA was particularly critical for Shuttle pilots in training because the Orbiter lacked atmospheric engines that would allow the craft to "go around" after a poor approach. After re-entry, the Shuttle was a very heavy glider (it was affectionately referred to as a 'flying brick') and as such had only one chance to land successfully.

To match the descent rate and drag profile of the real Shuttle at 37000 ft, the main landing gear of the C-11A was lowered (the nose gear stayed retracted due to wind load constraints) and engine thrust was reversed. Its flaps could deflect upwards to decrease lift as well as downwards to increase lift.

Covers were placed on the left hand cockpit windows to provide the same view as from a Shuttle cockpit, and the left-hand pilot's seat was fitted with the same controls as a Shuttle. The STA's normal flight controls were moved to the right, where the instructor sat. Both seat positions had a head-up display (HUD).

In a normal exercise, the pilot descended to 20000 ft at an airspeed of 280 kn, 15 mi from the landing target. The pilot then rolled the STA at 12000 ft, 7 mi from landing. The nose of the aircraft was then dropped to increase speed to 300 kn, descending at a 20-degree angle on the outer glide slope (OGS). The outer glide slope aiming point was 7500 ft short of the runway threshold, and used PAPIs for visual guidance in addition to the MLS system. At 2000 ft the guidance system changed to pre-flare and shortly after, at 1700 ft, the pilot started the flare maneuver to gradually reduce the descent angle and transition to the inner glide slope (IGS) which was 1.5 degrees from 300 ft onwards, using a "ball-bar" system for visual guidance. The shuttle landing gear release was simulated at 300 ft above the ground, since the STA main gear remained down for the whole simulation. The nose gear of the STA was lowered at 150 ft AGL in case of an inadvertent touchdown with the runway surface.

If the speed was correct, a green light on the instrument panel simulated shuttle landing when the pilot's eyes were 32 ft above the runway. This was the exact position that the pilot's head would be in during an actual landing. In the exercise, the STA was still flying 20 ft above the ground. The instructor pilot deselected the simulation mode, stowed the thrust reversers, and the instructor executed a go-around, never actually landing the aircraft (on training approaches).

Avionics
A sophisticated computer system installed on board the STA simulated the flight dynamics of the orbiter with nearly perfect accuracy. The STA's highly realistic simulation of the orbiter was not limited to handling characteristics, but also implemented the shuttle control interfaces for the pilot.

An onboard computer called the Advanced Digital Avionics System (ADAS) controlled the Direct Lift Control (DLC) and the in-flight reverse thrust during Simulation Mode.

Every shuttle commander practiced at least 1,000 landings in this manner, as had each mission's shuttle pilot.

List of aircraft
Four Gulfstream II aircraft constituted the now retired STA fleet, although other Gulfstream II aircraft, lacking STA capabilities, are still used by NASA for personnel transport purposes. Although the majority of the fleet had markings similar to those pictured above, paint schemes do vary slightly across aircraft.

On August 22, 2011, NASA announced that all four Shuttle Training Aircraft would be retired at various NASA facilities around the country, with N944 retiring at the Dryden Flight Research Center.

The STA tail numbers were:
 * NASA 944: N944NA (s/n 144)
 * NASA 945: N945NA (s/n 118) — On July 13, 2017, a ribbon cutting ceremony was conducted and this aircraft is now in permanent display at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
 * NASA 946: N946NA (s/n 146) — On September 21, 2011, this aircraft became a permanent display at the Texas Air & Space Museum in Amarillo, Texas.
 * NASA 947: N947NA (s/n 147) — Currently on permanent display at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.

Michael Davies (Catholic writer)

Michael Treharne Davies (13 March 1936 – 25 September 2004 ) was a British teacher and traditionalist Catholic writer of many books about the Catholic Church following the Second Vatican Council. From 1992 to 2004 he was the president of the international traditionalist Catholic organisation Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce and was responsible for the unification of Una Voce America.

Life
Davies was born to Cyril and Annie (née Garnworthy) Davies. His father, a Welshman, was a Baptist, and his mother, who was English, was an Anglican. Davies was brought up in Yeovil, Somerset, but proud of his Welsh descent. He served as a regular soldier in the Somerset Light Infantry during the Malayan Emergency, the Suez Crisis, and the EOKA campaign in Cyprus.

Davies was a Baptist who converted to Catholicism while still a student in the 1950s. While initially a supporter of the Second Vatican Council, Davies became critical of the liturgical changes that followed in its wake, which he argued were a result of distortions and misreadings of the Council's mandates for liturgical reform. Davies later supported the French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), writing a three-volume series titled Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre in which he defended Lefebvre against accusations of disobedience and schism for refusing to celebrate the Mass of Paul VI. Although Davies opposed Lefebvre's canonically-illicit consecration of four SSPX bishops in 1988 against the wishes of Pope John Paul II, he continued to support Lefebvre's defence of the Tridentine Mass and traditional Church teachings publicly.

William D. Dinges, Professor of Religion and Culture at The Catholic University of America, described Davies as "[i]nternationally, one of the most prolific traditionalist apologists".

Davies was a critic of the alleged apparitions of the Blessed Virgin at Medjugorje, which he believed to be false. His unfinished book on the subject, Medjugorje: The First Twenty-One Years, was finally published in 2023 by Arouca Press; it includes a reminiscence from his son Adrian.

Davies died on 25 September 2004, aged 68, following a battle with cancer and was buried in the churchyard of St. Mary's, Chislehurst, Kent. He was survived by his wife, Marija, one daughter and two sons, one of whom is the barrister Adrian Davies.

The result of the debate was KEEP due to lack of consensus. Postdlf 06:59, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Darvish-khan
Hardly worthy of an encylopeadia. NN A curate's egg 13:25, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep : He is an Iranian musician of quite a repute though the page needs an overhaul. I found quite a few (running into at least half a dozen pages on google) references to him on google. His claim to fame is not his accident but his music. The page needs to furnish more detail about his musical life. We may not want to remove a page about a prominent Iranian musician just because the author of the page did not focus on his music but put a silly reference to a traffic accident instead. Manik Raina 13:48, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete First Iranian killed in a car accident? Nothing on Google for that claim. Seems very dubious, until verified this short stub should be deleted. JamesBurns 08:10, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't buy that being in a car accident would make him notable. However, he is a musician... so can any evidence be provided of him passing WP:MUSIC? If so, keep. Until then, weak delete. Radiant_ >|< 12:16, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * According to, he "died at the age of 54, on 22 of November 1926, in an accident. His carriage was hit by a lorry automobile which was very rare at that time." (Maybe not the first, but apparently one of the early ones.) No vote yet; I'll wait to see if further information is added to the page. --Metropolitan90 01:19, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Coolrafi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Coolrafi~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:09, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

As a menthol flavored cigarette, the rough taste of tobacco is dulled as the menthol numbs the mouth, allowing for a smoother, full inhalation. This is a blatant commercial, "smooth"? Give me a break. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.185.210 (talk) 20:12, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Images
The photographs of ALL tobacco products should be removed from Wikipedia because it is letting a deadly product to be advertised for free, which is morally and ethically wrong. Tobacco kills millions of people each year. It is not necessary at all to have pictures of these products on Wikipedia, and if people are searching for pictures of tobacco products, then they can use a search engine, not Wikipedia. Please do not let photos/pictures of tobacco products be placed on Wikipedia. I am removing the photographs from this page. Thanks, Gillies corner 00:25, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

 * What are you a smoke nazi? Your statement is ridiculous.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.177.157 (talk • contribs)

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun
 * There's pictures of guns there, and I'm pretty sure those kill a lot more people than cigarettes do. Furthermore, nowhere on this website does it say that you cannot have pictures of deadly products. Potatoes9000 (talk) 06:01, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I long for a place to go where I can have the freedom to SEE a tobacco product with no fuss from smoke nazis. I was happy to get to read about Kool cigarettes here, not having it be hidden from me because some health control freak doesn't want any talk about cigarettes.  I wish there was a place we could see and hear those old cigarette commercials, no hassels from some health control freak Big Brother.  Its a nostalgia thing for me.  Longing for the days America was free enough to let us see cigarette commercials on television and hear the songs like "Come up to the Kool taste, taste extra freshness every time you smoke"  I REMEMBER IT!!!  God I miss those days!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.7 (talk • contribs)

 * Wow, the person made a suggestion, and you people just trash-talked him. You call him a pussy, yet you sit behind your little computer screen, and would never be that confrontational in your entire life. Learn how to talk to people. You might find that your life will be substantially better if you just chill the fuck out and actually discuss things without being pugnacious. Disagree while making humane suggestions. He's wrong, but you don't have to compare him to a mass-murdering fascist or threatening his life.
 * Also, cigarettes do kill more than guns, and before you make fun of someone, learn how to spell the word WHICH IS SPELLED CORRECTLY AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. It just makes you look even more like a neanderthal.

I have removed an unsigned comment above that was clearly in breach of Wikipedia's acceptable behaviour rules (no personal attacks). I also wonder if the second comment above ("what are you, a smoke nazi?") could also be removed on these grounds, but do not feel sufficiently knowledgeable about Wikipedia's guidelines to make a judgement on this.

Race/Cultural Appropriation
I have removed the unsubstantiated racial claims in the article that were totally out of place and not relevant to green cigarettes specifically. It could be noted that African-Americans as a group tend to prefer menthol cigarettes, as that can be backed up by numbers, however that would belong more in an article on menthol cigarettes in general.

HNoMS Eidsvold

HNoMS Eidsvold was a coastal defence ship and the lead ship of her class, serving in the Royal Norwegian Navy. Built by Armstrong Whitworth at Newcastle on Tyne in 1899, she was obsolete when sunk by German torpedoes in Narvik harbour on 9 April 1940 during the German invasion of Norway (Operation Weserübung).

Description
Eidsvold was built as part of the general rearmament in the time leading up to the political events in 1905, and remained, along with her sister ship Norge, the backbone of the Royal Norwegian Navy for just over 40 years. She was named after the town of Eidsvold, the site of the drafting and signing of the Norwegian Constitution on 17 May 1814. Considered to be quite powerful ships for their time, with two 21 cm (8.26 inch) guns as their main armament, they were soon outclassed by the new Dreadnought battleships. They were armoured to withstand battle with ships of a similar class to their own, with 6 inches (15.24 cm) of Krupp cemented armour in the belt and 9 inches (22.86 cm) of the same armour on her two turrets. Eidsvold and Norge were the largest vessels in the Royal Norwegian Navy at 4,233 tons gross and crews of up to 270 men.

In June 1911, Eidsvold sailed to Britain to represent Denmark at the fleet review for the coronation of King George V.

It was intended to augment the Norwegian coastal defence ship fleet with the two ships of the Bjørgvin-class, ordered in 1912, but after these were compulsorily purchased by the British Royal Navy at the outbreak of World War I, the Eidsvold-class and the older, two ship strong, Tordenskjold-class was forced to soldier on long after they were obsolete.

First and final battle
In the morning of 9 April 1940, German forces entered Narvik harbour under cover of fog and heavy snow. Despite the weather, they were spotted by Norwegian vessels, which promptly reported the sighting and alerted Eidsvold and Norge. Aboard both ships steps were taken to prepare for combat. The guns were loaded with live ammunition and life preservers issued to the crew. Around 04:15 in the morning, the Germans spotted Eidsvold. Captain Odd Isaachsen Willoch aboard Eidsvold immediately ordered to signal the leading German destroyer with an Aldis lamp, and when the Germans failed to respond to the signal, he ordered a warning shot placed before their bow while he flew a two flag signal, ordering the destroyer to halt.

Since the Germans had orders to occupy Norway peacefully if at all possible, the German destroyer Wilhelm Heidkamp stopped, and signalled Eidsvold that it would send an officer to negotiate. From a distance of about 200 metres, a small launch ferried Korvettenkapitän Gerlach over to Eidsvold. Gerlach and a signalman were received on the aft deck of Eidsvold by the second in command, and were taken to the bridge to speak to Captain Willoch. At the same time, the gun crews aboard Eidsvold kept the German destroyer in their sights, both the 21 cm guns and the 15 cm guns. Due to the short distance, the trajectory of the shells would have been flat, making it hard not to hit the thinly armoured vessel. At the bridge, Gerlach tried to convince Willoch that the Germans had arrived as friends and that Willoch should surrender his ship peacefully. Willoch countered by pointing out that he was bound by duty to resist, but did ask for a ten-minute break to consider the matter. However, instead of considering surrender, Willoch used this time to contact his superiors, as well as the captain of Norge, informing them of his intent to attack the German forces. While this was going on, another German destroyer had crossed behind Eidsvold and took up a position 700 m from the vessel, ready to fire her torpedoes.

Gerlach tried once again to convince Willoch to surrender, but was turned down a second time. As he left the deck of Eidsvold, he fired a red flare, indicating that the Norwegians wished to fight. At this point, Captain Willoch hurried towards the bridge, while shouting "På plass ved kanonene. Nå skal vi slåss, gutter!" ("Man the guns. We're gonna fight, boys!"). Eidsvold turned towards the closest destroyer and accelerated, while the battery commander ordered the port battery (three 15 cm guns) to open fire. However, the Germans – afraid Eidsvold might ram the destroyer – fired four torpedoes at the old coastal defence ship.

Two or three of the torpedoes hit before the port guns could fire, according to Norwegian sources: one under the rear turret, one midship and one in the bow. It is likely that the torpedoes ignited one of the magazines aboard, because Eidsvold was blown in two and sunk in seconds, propellers still turning. Only six of the crew were rescued, while 175 died in the freezing water.

The wreck
Some remains of Eidsvold lie in shallow waters at the entrance to Narvik harbour. Mostly salvaged in situ, only minor remains are left of the ship.
