Peter de la Billière

General Sir Peter Edgar de la Cour de la Billière, (born 29 April 1934) is a former British Army officer who was Director SAS during the Iranian Embassy siege, and Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in Operation Granby (the Gulf War).

Early years
Peter de la Billière was born in Plymouth, Devon, the son of Surgeon Lieutenant Commander Claude Denis Delacour de la Billière and his wife, Frances Christine Wright ("Kitty") Lawley. On 22 May 1941 his father, who had been educated at Monkton Combe School near Bath, Somerset, was killed when his ship, HMS Fiji (58), was sunk by German bombers in an attack south-west of Crete.

De la Billière was educated at St Peter's Court School, in Broadstairs, Kent, and Harrow School. A "Peter de la Billière" is mentioned as pupil evacuee of St Peter's Court sent to Crediton, Devon in Our Land at War by Duff Hart-Davis.

Military career
De la Billière originally enlisted as a private in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry in 1952. He was later commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Durham Light Infantry. During his early career as an officer he served in Japan, Korea and Egypt with the regiment's 1st Battalion.

Special Air Service Regiment
In 1956, de la Billière attended and passed Selection for the Special Air Service. During his first SAS tour, he served in Malaya during the Malayan Emergency, as well as Oman where he was mentioned in despatches and was awarded the Military Cross in 1959 for leading a troop in the assault on Jebel Akdar. After his initial tour with 22 SAS, he returned to the Durham Light Infantry to run recruit training, before taking up the post of Adjutant of 21 SAS – the London-based Territorial Army (reserve) SAS regiment. In 1962, he was attached to the Federal Army in Aden. In 1964, he failed Staff College but was appointed Officer Commanding A Squadron 22 SAS. From 1964 to 1966, A Squadron 22 SAS was deployed to Borneo where he was second-in-command of the regiment for the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation. For his actions during this period he was awarded a bar to his Military Cross.

After this tour, de la Billière re-attended Staff College, and, this time, passed. After Staff College he was posted as G2 (intelligence) Special Forces at Army Strategic Command. He then served a tour as second-in-command of 22 SAS, of which he was Commanding Officer from 1972 to 1974. For service in Oman, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in 1976 for his actions in the battles at Musandam and Dhofar.

De la Billière then served from 1977 in a number of administrative posts assuming command of the British Army Training Team in Sudan before returning to the regiment as Director SAS in 1979. For the next four years he commanded SAS Group with overall responsibility for military command. It was during this period that the Special Air Service Regiment became publicly known as a consequence of their storming of the Iranian Embassy in 1980. He was also responsible during the Falklands War for planning Operation Mikado. In 1982, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).

Regular service commands
After the SAS, de la Billière was appointed Military Commissioner and Commander of British Forces in the Falkland Islands from 1984 and General Officer Commanding Wales District from 1985. He was succeeded by Brigadier Morgan Llewellyn on 1 December 1987. In 1987 he was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB). He was General Officer Commanding South East District from 1988.

Despite being due for retirement de la Billière was appointed on 6 October 1990 as Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in Operation Granby (the Gulf War), in effect the second-in-command of the multinational military coalition headed by US General Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. His experience of fighting in the area, knowledge of the people and possession of some fluency in Arabic overrode concerns about his age. In this role he was largely responsible for persuading Schwarzkopf (who was initially sceptical) to allow the use of SAS and other special forces in significant roles in the conflict. The British army contingent expanded from 14,000 early in November 1990 to more than 45,000 through to completion of the engagement and cessation of hostilities in February 1991. In 1991, he was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) and in August that year, de la Billière received Canada's Meritorious Service Cross.

By the end of his career de la Billière had risen to the rank of general, and became a special adviser to the Secretary of State for Defence on Middle East military matters. In order to allow him to receive the pension benefits of full general he was given the newly created sinecurist (honorarium) post of Middle East Advisor to the Secretary of State for Defence. He retired in June 1992.

Later life
In 1993, he received Saudi Arabia's Order of King Abdulaziz, 2nd Class, and was made a Chief Commander of the United States' Legion of Merit.

De la Billière has written or co-authored 18 books, including an autobiography, a personal account of the Gulf War and a number of works about the SAS.

In 1965, he married Bridget Constance Muriel Goode. They have one son and two daughters.

Louis Attrill

Louis Mark Attrill MBE is a British rower and Olympic gold medallist.

Career
Attrill took up rowing at Shanklin Rowing Club on the Isle of Wight and won novice at Milford regatta. The following year he furthered his interest in the sport at Imperial College Boat Club in 1993. Previously he had played rugby and cricket for Hampshire Colts and was British junior kick-boxing champion in 1991. In his first year of rowing, he won at Henley Royal Regatta in the Imperial College London Temple Challenge Cup eight. The following year he won his second Henley medal and made his international debut at under-23 level, he was also asked to travel to the 1995 senior World Championships in the reserve pair. In 1996, Attrill rowed for Imperial and won the premier event for eights at Henley Royal Regatta — the Grand Challenge Cup. He then went on to be selected for the British under-23 coxless four which won a gold medal at the Nations Cup.

Attrill was selected for the 1997 senior eight. This was a young crew, largely composed of ex-junior and under-23 internationals. They raced with freshness and flair throughout the World Cup series and finished in fourth place at the World Championships. He was in the eight again for the 1998 World Championships and they were unlucky to miss out on a place in the final.

Attrill won a silver medal in the eight at the 1999 World Championships in Canada. In a close race the British and Americans battled it out, pulling away from the rest of the field. The Brits took the lead in the third 500 metres only for the United States crew to snatch it back before the finish. It was Attril's third year in the eight and the result was a reflection of the meticulous attention to detail that the crew had put into their preparations. In 2000 they had a very successful season on the international circuit and took the World Cup title at Lucerne, Switzerland. He then went on to win an Olympic gold medal in the 2000 Sydney Games.

Personal life
Attrill was born in Newport, Isle of Wight in 1975. He still lives on the Isle of Wight. He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire in the 2001 New Year Honours list.

Metroblogging

Metroblogging was an online local media project founded by Jason DeFillippo and Sean Bonner, subsequently owned by Sean Bonner, Jason DeFillippo and Richard Ault, collectively Bode Media, Inc. Started in Los Angeles in November 2003, the project included 57 city-specific blogs around the world, with close to 700 contributors. Contributors have included Xeni Jardin and Wil Wheaton (Los Angeles), Violet Blue (San Francisco), Johannes Grenzfurthner (Vienna), and Joi Ito (Tokyo).

History
The first post on blogging.la was on November 30, 2003. When it started, it was intended as a group blog where a number of bloggers from Los Angeles could talk about the city as they saw it. Following the success of blogging.la, Bonner and DeFillippo considered expanding to Orange County, California, but in the end started an international network, which would be known as Metroblogging.

Bonner and DeFillippo enlisted a team of bloggers for each of the four initial Metroblogging sites (San Francisco, New York City, London and Chicago). Over the next year, Metroblogging added another thirty city sites to its network. As weblogs started to become an increasingly popular source of first person accounts for news events circa 2005, Metroblogging provided such content.

July 2005 London bombings
During both bombings upon the London mass-transit system. Metroblogging London became a hub for sharing news and first person accounts of the bombings.

Hurricane Katrina
When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States in August 2005 Metroblogging New Orleans provided first hand accounts of the destruction.

The writers for Metroblogging New Orleans reported on the anarchy days before any of the major news outlets did. They reportED on the dire needs and the terrible conditions and questioned the lack of reaction by city, state, and federal officials before others were aware of the extent of the crisis.

They corrected the mainstream media in some of its reporting. While the media was reporting that the French Quarter of New Orleans was under 10 to 12 ft of water, Metroblogging New Orleans reported that the French Quarter was not flooded and had remained mostly dry.

Kashmir earthquake
The members of Metroblogging Karachi and Metroblogging Lahore contributed to the relief efforts by extensively networking with NGOs and other working groups following the 2005 Kashmir earthquake.

Dawson College Shooting
The Dawson College Shooting affected the entire city and many people wrote about it. But one of their writers, who happens to work for Dawson College, wrote about his experience of what happened on September 13, 2006.

"My dear fellow," Robinson broke in with some irritation, "you merely show that you don't know what a tar barrel's like. Why, on winter nights, when you'd be shut in there in your piano box just as snug as you please, I used to lie awake shivering, with the draught fairly running in at the bunghole at the back."

Dear Prudence

"Dear Prudence" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 double album The Beatles (also known as "the White Album"). The song was written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. Written in Rishikesh during the group's trip to India in early 1968, it was inspired by actress Mia Farrow's sister, Prudence Farrow, who became obsessive about meditating while practising with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Her designated partners on the meditation course, Lennon and George Harrison, attempted to coax Farrow out of her seclusion, which led to Lennon writing the song.

Lennon wrote "Dear Prudence" using a finger-picking guitar technique that he learned from singer-songwriter Donovan. Its lyrics are simple and innocent and celebrate the beauty of nature. The Beatles recorded the song at Trident Studios in late August 1968 as a three-piece after Ringo Starr temporarily left the group out of protest at McCartney's criticism of his drumming on "Back in the U.S.S.R." and the tensions that typified the sessions for the White Album. The final recording also features contributions from Mal Evans, Jackie Lomax and John McCartney. A demo for the song, recorded at George Harrison's Kinfauns home before the album's sessions, was later released on the 2018 Super Deluxe edition of the White Album.

"Dear Prudence" has received praise from music critics, with many praising its lyrics and the band's performance. Lennon later selected it as one of his favourite songs by the Beatles. The song has been covered by many artists, including the Jerry Garcia Band, Ramsey Lewis and Siouxsie and the Banshees, whose version was a top-five hit in the UK in 1983.

Background and inspiration
The inspiration and ostensible subject of the song is Prudence Farrow, the sister of actress Mia Farrow, both of whom were present when the Beatles went to India to study with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at his ashram in Rishikesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Farrow came to Transcendental Meditation and the Maharishi's teachings as a result of a highly disturbing experience with the hallucinogenic drug LSD. While in Rishikesh in early 1968, Farrow became intensely serious about meditating, refusing to venture out of her bungalow for days on end. Of all the Beatles, Farrow felt closest to John Lennon and George Harrison, who were assigned by the Maharishi to act as her "team buddies".

Lennon and Harrison took the responsibility seriously, having similarly experimented with LSD before discovering meditation. The two musicians were asked to coax Farrow out of her seclusion to ensure she socialised with the other students on the course. As a result, Lennon wrote the song "Dear Prudence". In his lyrics, Lennon asks Farrow to "open up your eyes" and "see the sunny skies", reminding her that she is "part of everything". Singer-songwriter Donovan remembered that "we were diving deep inside ourselves, not just for 20 minutes in the morning and the evening, but we had days of it ... deep exploration of the deep psyche ... So Prudence was in deep, and this [song] was John's way of saying, ‘Are you OK in there?’”

According to author and journalist Mark Paytress, Lennon was less "charitably disposed" when commenting on the song after he had grown disaffected with the Maharishi and Transcendental Meditation. In a 1980 interview, he said of "Dear Prudence":

"A song about Mia Farrow's sister, who seemed to go slightly barmy, meditating too long, and couldn't come out of the little hut that we were livin' in. They selected me and George to try and bring her out because she would trust us. If she'd been in the West, they would have put her away ... She'd been locked in for three weeks and was trying to reach God quicker than anybody else. That was the competition in Maharishi's camp: who was going to get cosmic first. What I didn't know was I was already cosmic. (Laughs.)"

According to Farrow: "I would always rush straight back to my room after lectures and meals so I could meditate. John, George and Paul [McCartney] would all want to sit around jamming and having a good time and I'd be flying into my room. They were all serious about what they were doing, but they just weren't as fanatical as me." Farrow did not hear "Dear Prudence" before the Beatles recorded the track, although she has said that, before leaving Rishikesh, Harrison told her that they had written a song about her.

Composition
Lennon wrote "Dear Prudence" using a guitar finger-picking technique that he learned from Donovan, who had followed the Beatles out to Rishikesh to study Transcendental Meditation. The technique, known as clawhammer picking, was later described by Donovan as "the Carter Family finger style". Donovan recalled that Lennon asked him to demonstrate the technique one morning as they sat playing guitar under a jacaranda tree; Lennon, a "fast learner", subsequently mastered it in just two days. Author Steve Turner comments that the Beatles' songwriting in Rishikesh reflected the simplicity of their environment, with the lyrics' frequent references to "birds, flowers, clouds, the sun, and the wind", while Paytress finds Lennon's songs particularly evocative of "the 'slow-motion' sensibility of life on the ashram".

"Dear Prudence" features a descending chromatic bass-line similar to that of Lennon's 1967 composition "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". The song is in the key of D major, with the arpeggio effect being achieved on guitar through the detuning of the sixth string down to a low D. On the Beatles' recording, the song begins quietly and builds in intensity through the subtle introduction of the rhythm section. Musicologist Walter Everett comments that, together with "Across the Universe", the song's "peaceful aura" and "ringing dronelike guitars" make it Lennon's most "Indian"-sounding composition.

The lyrics are simple and innocent and celebrate the beauty of nature, particularly in the lines: "The sun is up, the sky is blue / It's beautiful, and so are you." Author Mark Hertsgaard finds "Dear Prudence" typical of Lennon's work in that it "transcends its origins" to provide a wider message. He says that the lyrics further an idea first espoused by Lennon in "Nowhere Man" in 1965, namely: "Don't hide from life, you have reason to smile, wake up and play your part in the grand scheme of things."

According to music critic Kenneth Womack, "Prudence" serves as one of the many literary figures the Beatles created for the White Album, along with Sexy Sadie (representing the Maharishi), Bungalow Bill, Rocky Raccoon and other characters named in the titles of the songs they wrote while in Rishikesh. He likens the collection of these figures in the context of the double album to Impressionistic art, whereby the diverse elements are brought together to form a unifying song cycle. Music critic Tim Riley acknowledges the inspiration of Farrow on Lennon's lyric but says that "ultimately it's a song about sexual awakening, the heady euphoria of natural pleasures wooed by a sublime musical arc."

Esher demo
"Dear Prudence" was one of the 27 songs demoed by the Beatles in late May 1968 in preparation for recording the White Album. Performed solo by Lennon on acoustic guitar, the song was taped at Harrison's house, Kinfauns, in Esher, Surrey. Lennon concluded the performance with a brief spoken commentary during which he says that the song is about "[a girl] who attended a meditation course in Rishikesh". In Hertsgaard's description of the recording, after McCartney interjects with "Cuckoo!", Lennon adds sarcastically: "Who was to know that she would go completely berserk, under the care of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi?" In his book Revolution: The Making of the Beatles' White Album, David Quantick writes that the "cynicism" in Lennon's delivery reflects his disillusion with the Maharishi in light of rumours alleging that their teacher had made sexual advances towards Mia Farrow. He adds that Lennon now reinterpreted Prudence's episode "in an anti-Maharishi light" and "Dear Prudence" was therefore "quite divorced from its original purpose".

Studio recording
The Beatles formally recorded the song at Trident Studios in London from 28 to 30 August. This period was marked by tension and hostility within the group, which had led to Ringo Starr temporarily leaving the band during the recent sessions for McCartney's song "Back in the U.S.S.R." On 28 August, the three remaining Beatles completed the basic track for "Dear Prudence", comprising various guitar parts by Lennon and Harrison, including Lennon's finger-picked electric rhythm part, and McCartney on drums in place of Starr. Using eight-track recording equipment – which gave them more options than the four-track equipment they usually worked with at EMI Studios – the band were able to perfect and re-record their parts as they developed the song. Everett writes that this freedom "allow[ed] a cleaner additive layering in the increasingly thick vocal and instrumental arrangement", and that the recording also benefited sonically from Lennon's new Fender Twin Reverb guitar amplifier and Harrison's recently acquired Fender Telecaster.

On 29 August, McCartney overdubbed bass guitar and Lennon sang his lead vocal, doubled for effect, to which McCartney and Harrison added harmony vocals. The other contributions were handclaps and percussion, including Harrison and McCartney on tambourines, and more backing vocals. For these additions, the Beatles were joined by Mal Evans, Apple Records artist Jackie Lomax, and McCartney's cousin John McCartney. Although cut from the released recording, the performance originally ended with the backing singers all cheering and applauding. The following day, McCartney added piano over the end portion of the song and, according to Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn, a brief snippet of flugelhorn. Music journalist Robert Fontenot says that although some commentators list this sound as a flugelhorn, it is in fact Harrison's lead guitar, played on his Gibson Les Paul. Over the fourth verse and ending, the song's musical arrangement includes an extended drum fill by McCartney, which author Jonathan Gould describes as a "ten-bar drum solo", and an ascending countermelody played in two octaves by Harrison. In the opinion of author Ian MacDonald, the "richest ingredient" in the arrangement is Harrison's "Indian"-style guitar parts.

Reception and legacy
Apple Records released The Beatles on 22 November 1968, with "Dear Prudence" sequenced as the second track on side one of the double LP. Its introduction was cross-faded with the sounds of a jet aircraft landing which conclude the previous track, "Back in the U.S.S.R." On the Beatles' 1967–1970 compilation 2023 edition, the crossfade is cut off, and the track begins abruptly after the start of the original recording, the song starts cleanly, with no jet aircraft landing effects. In a contemporary review of the album, Record Mirror's writer said: "A shock to my mind was the second track opening with the old folk clawhammer pick done on an open tuned electric guitar. John sings 'Dear Prudence' as instrumentation fades in and out from wistful quiet to booming intensity."

Writing more recently in The Beatles Diary, Peter Doggett commented that it was "strange" that the Beatles chose to begin the album with two songs recorded without Starr. He also said that, in expanding the narrative to encompass a "pantheistic vision of the world's beauty", Lennon's song served as "one of the few positive statements" he offered from his visit to Rishikesh. Tim Riley views it as a "key Beatles song about nature" and praises the band's ensemble playing. He says that, while Lennon regularly wrote about childhood and nature, "nowhere else does he sound as composed as he does here, as infatuated with the innocence he's singing about ... It counts amongst Lennon's finest songs." David Quantick writes that, given Lennon's falling out with the Maharishi in April 1968, the lyric to "Dear Prudence" instead became "an invitation to tune in or drop out". He detects an eeriness in the track that would have fitted with the implications evident in the phrase A Doll's House, which was the intended title for The Beatles.

Julian Lennon named "Dear Prudence" as one of his favourite songs written by his father. Lennon is said to have selected it as one of his favourite songs by the Beatles. In 1987, his original handwritten lyrics of the song, containing 14 lines and some "doodles" in the margin, sold at auction for US$19,500. In the Rutles' 1978 parody of the Beatles' history, All You Need Is Cash, the song was parodied as "Let's Be Natural". In 2010, Rolling Stone ranked "Dear Prudence" at number 63 on the magazine's list of "The Beatles' 100 Greatest Songs". In a similar list compiled by Mojo in 2006, the song appeared at number 44.

Farrow has said she was "flattered" by the Beatles' gesture in creating "Dear Prudence" for her, adding: "It was a beautiful thing to have done." In a 2013 interview, she said she had been relieved to listen to it for the first time and discover that, unlike Lennon's "negative" sentiments about his Rishikesh experience in the White Album tracks "Sexy Sadie" and "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill", the song was generous in spirit. Farrow titled her 2015 autobiography after the track and, as of 2013, ran the Dear Prudence Foundation, raising funds to help educate people in meditation. Asked what she thought of "Dear Prudence" in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2015, Farrow said: "It epitomized what the Sixties were about in many ways. What it's saying is very beautiful; it's very positive. I think it's an important song. I thought it was one of their least popular and more obscure songs. I feel that it does capture that essence of the course, that slightly exotic part of being in India where we went through that silence and meditation."

Siouxsie and the Banshees version
English post-punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees released a cover version of "Dear Prudence" as a single in 1983. The single had been recorded at a tumultuous time for the band; guitarist John McGeoch had left the band due to his purported alcoholism and had temporarily been replaced by The Cure frontman Robert Smith. Siouxsie Sioux explained, "It was an insane period for us, extremely busy. We were just being totally hyperactive. I think it took its toll maybe a year or so later. John had been hospitalised for stress and overworking, so he was suffering a bit. Robert stepped in, for the second time, as he did in '79, so the show was still going on, and the touring was all pretty intense and crazy. We went on to record Hyæna together, and then he imploded as well. He just couldn't cope with it."

The band had already recorded a version of "Helter Skelter" on their 1978 album The Scream. Siouxsie came up with the idea of doing another Beatles cover while they were touring Scandinavia and listening to the Beatles' music. According to drummer Budgie, they were all big fans of the White Album except for Smith, and they settled on "Dear Prudence" because it was the one song he knew. Bassist Steven Severin recalled that the track particularly appealed to him because "John Lennon's version sounds a bit unfinished". They recorded the song at a studio in Stockholm in July 1983 and completed it at Angel Recording Studios in north London, where Smith's sister Janet added a harpsichord part.

This version of the song became the band's biggest British hit, peaking at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The success came as a surprise to Siouxsie, who later said, "It was a surprise, but it didn't really sink in until we'd finished the touring and we were back home for the winter. Then we thought, 'Blimey! We got to number three! The single was kept from the top of the charts by Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon", much to the chagrin of the band. In the wake of the single's success, the band performed the track on the Christmas Top of the Pops show. Siouxsie said of this performance, "I don't remember much about doing it except for I was wearing a new leather dress that a friend had made for me, and stripy tights."

Riley cites the fact that Siouxsie and the Banshees would choose to record a song by the Beatles as evidence of the latter's "pervasive influence", and he describes this version as "a surprisingly effective distortion of the Beatles' elegiac original". Further to his view on the "spookiness" evident in the Beatles' 1968 recording, Quantick says that its "ambience [was] so at odds with the floaty hippie vibe of India" that this characteristic "goes a long way toward explaining why the 1980s punk/psychedelic/Goth band Siouxsie and the Banshees were able to cover the song so successfully, bringing out its buried but implicit sun-blinded sense of menace". "Dear Prudence" was the group's first single released on Geffen Records in the United States.

Other versions
Jerry Garcia, a member of the Grateful Dead, is said to have called the song "one of his all-time personal favorites". The Jerry Garcia Band covered it in extended, improvised versions at concerts between 1979 and Garcia's death in 1995. The song was recorded for their 1991 album Jerry Garcia Band. "Dear Prudence" was performed by Joe Anderson, Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess and Dana Fuchs for the soundtrack to Julie Taymor's 2007 film Across the Universe. The song was used in commercial advertising by the US wireless phone company Cellular South in a TV commercial during 2008. Among the other artists who have recorded "Dear Prudence" are Ramsey Lewis, for his 1968 album Mother Nature's Son; Doug Parkinson in Focus, who had a top-five hit in Australia with the song; Gábor Szabó; the Five Stairsteps (#66/49 in USA, #65 in Canada); Katfish, whose version peaked at number 53 on the US Billboard Hot 100; and Leslie West in 1976. In addition, Sean Lennon included the song on his 1991 Japanese CD release Happy Birthday, John, and Alanis Morissette performed it on the 2001 Lennon tribute Come Together: A Night for John Lennon's Words and Music. Guitarist Tom Gamble arranged the song for solo guitar in 2021, which was featured as part of the John Lennon 80th Birthday celebrations on the official John Lennon website.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Aubonpain.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Aubonpain.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 08:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Swedish-Argentines
Excellent article! Hope to see more about European immigrants in Argentina! =) --CrazyAmerican 16:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry for taking so long. The article was tagged by as a "direct copyvio" of http://www.nordicway.com/argentina.htm. Sincerely I don't see what's the problem here, the website provided doesn't state any exclusive rights, and in my opinion this is not copyright infringement. Also it should be noted that Wikipedia itself encourages editors to create and improve new articles, you know, META:ACP, WP:BOLD, WP:IAR, etc., so why this article cannot be on Wikipedia?

 * Homever, I think you must contact Nordicway.com and ask for permission. If this cannot be obtained you can always reword most of the page or, of course, include this information on other articles (Argentina, Buenos Aires) and then cite this website as a source, but it's up to you. Hope this helps mate, I don't want to loss this wonderful article! Goodbye. --CrazyAmerican 04:12, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Please, removing inportant anti-vandalism information from anonymous users is considered vandalism. Mariano (t/c) 11:37, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppets
I have reason to believe that the following are accounts created by you in order to vote several times for page deletions: FR-Altas, Celto, Forhonor and IIIV. I am basing this on the following observations:

 * The similar signature of the above users' posts in the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Largest_empires page.
 * The brevity of the contribution history of the above users.
 * The similar edit patterns, e.g.
 * Costa Rica
 * By "Celto": http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Costa_Rica&diff=prev&oldid=61545118
 * By you: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Costa_Rica&diff=prev&oldid=45322331
 * Similarity in the standard of English used in posts. (Although far superior to my foreign language skills, it is obviously not that of a native English speaker).

If I have mistakenly accused you then I sincerely and completely apologise. I look forward to hearing your response. Gsd2000 17:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry I meant FR-Altas re the Costa Rica edits. Gsd2000 18:18, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Removals and edit summaries
Just a little advice... When you change figures and especially when you remove information, please do explain why, or on what grounds (regarding Wikipedia policies, sources, etc.) you did that. For example this was not "wrong" — it was a debatable opinion (falls under WP:NOR). And this was not vandalism or obviously incorrect, so you really should summarize it with more than simply "revert". Here you called the same content "vandalism" when it clearly is not. Other editors can understandably take issue with these removals and with you.

Since you've been working on certain controversial fields (and removing sensitive information), you really really should make yourself clear in all cases, except when you're doing something minor like correcting a typo or a very obvious mistake. If the edit summary is not long enough, use the talk page. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 12:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Are you making fun of me? I've just tagged User:24.60.174.79 as yet another suspected sockpuppet of you for the mess he/you made in Argentina. I should block you right now for evading blocks and 3RR, but I'll wait a bit more. If any of "you guys" does anything, you'll all be blocked. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 19:43, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Sockpuppetting again? XGustaX should be permanently banned.  Gsd2000 23:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Removing vandalism info again
I'm getting seriously tired of you and your puppets and your racist comments. Must be patience thins with age.

I have reason to believe is you, based on the latest edits on Demographics of Argentina and the fact that it's in the same range as your (other) sockpuppets. I noticed you deleted a couple of ethnic minorities from the article while you "reverted vandalism", too. This is the last warning you're going to get; next time you use a sockpuppet, both of you will be blocked. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 13:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Collaboration
Reading the talk page I see the other editor has made several attempts at a compromise. I stand by my decision of protecting teh article. This is a collaborative environment and often compromise is a crucial concept to keep things flowing smoothly. Looking at the talk page I see the other editor has attempted to discuss it with you and as stated before reach a compromise which you seemed to have no interest in. This is a content dispute, nothing more. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I am sorry that I will not respond via email. This discussion is not regarding personal information or a highly sentisitve discussion.  I prefer keep these discussions on wiki.  I am also very selective of who i Email as it is not a wiki only account, again my apologies.  Life is not black and white, reach a compromise that is all I ask.  IT appears he is willing to work on a compromise, go work it out together.  Good luck.  -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism in the Argentinian article
After we discussed our setion forever... (an user has been modificating the demographic's section accoding to his/her piacere for weeks now). I explained him/her nicely why our section was more accurated, and the misunderstanding information he/she posted, I told him/her to please he checked our previous discussion in the "Achives" (even when i hardly sign my comments). But he/she doesn't even bother in answered me (well he/she dis answer you once in a really unproper way), and it changes it again.

Pablo and Mariano are on vacations and I can't sent messages to all the Argentinians users that I remember has been working in this fine section for ages!.

Christina Hoff Sommers
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. To which I will add that you have already violated 3RR at the article. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 21:16, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Flatt and Scruggs

Untitled
I disagree with this move. The Foggy Mountain Boys were not Flatt & Scruggs, but their backing band. -- Dave C. 05:09, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs each already have their own page. The band was "Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, and the Foggy Mountain Boys" but most people call them (as a whole, not just the two leaders) "Flatt and Scruggs". The common threads between Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs were membership in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys and this band. They never worked as a duo or a team with any other band. In other words, there really is no "Flatt and Scruggs" except in relation to the Foggy Mountain Boys. Cmadler 12:56, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough. Since there is a redirect in place, I'm comfortable with your reasoning. -- Dave C. 18:13, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

This really makes little sense. Lester and Earl did in fact sometimes appear apart from the band, notably in a number of appearances on "The Beverly Hillbillies." It's pointless and confusing to claim there was no "Flatt and Scruggs" with the band. Thomas Goldsmith Raleigh, N.C. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcarolinian (talk • contribs) 23:07, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Flatt and Scruggs was the name of the duo, the Foggy Mountain Boys was their backing band. Flatt and Scruggs were not members of the Foggy Mountain Boys, the Foggy Mountain Boys were the musicians who supported them. All of their records say "Flatt and Scruggs" as the name of the artist. I'm moving this. Leonor Hopscotch (talk) 19:17, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

First Sentence
The first sentence states they were active from the 40's to the 60's while the info box says they were active from the 50's -70's. If someone knows which it is it should probably be changed. 63.165.44.97 (talk) 18:50, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

 * In the "Biography" section (is that an appropriate section title for a band?) it suggests 1948 - 1969. I'm reluctant to make changes without a source, however. cmadler (talk) 14:46, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

The original Foggy mountain Boys were form by Mac Wiseman and Lester Flatt in 1948,The only living Foggys left is Mac Wiseman — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.208.4 (talk) 22:12, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

1948 to 1969 is correct. They left Monroe and formed in Danville, Va., in 1948 and split in 1969. It's completely incorrect to say that Wiseman and Flatt formed the band. Flatt and Scruggs go together in Danville, Va., and their original second singer was Jim Eanes. They then moved to Hickory, N.C., where fiddle Jim Shumate joined. They then moved to WCYB in Bristol, Tenn., at Wiseman's suggestion. Rcarolinian (talk) 23:02, 19 February 2015 (UTC) Based on interviews with Scruggs and Wiseman. Thomas Goldsmith, Raleigh, N.C.

Questions
1. I noticed that the vast majority of the records of the band shows the name "Flatt and Scruggs" rather than "Foggy Mountain Boys". I assume the official name of the band should still be Foggy Mountain Boys. Has anybody a comment regarding this issue?

2. The band has been active since 1948. Aside from a single in 1952, is there a reason why no recordings are listed for the period between 1948 and 1957?

3. "Changin' times" and "Nashville airplane" are listed under 1968 but the discography of Earl Scruggs has them listed as 1969 and 1970. What dates are correct?

4. "Town and country" and "Sacred songs" are listed under 1966. http://www.discogs.com/artist/Flatt+%26+Scruggs shows them under 1965 and 1967. http://www.flatt-and-scruggs.com/disco.html shows "Sacred songs" under 1967. What are the correct dates?

ICE77 (talk) 00:37, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

The Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs Grand Ole Opry Show
I'm assumeing that "The Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs Grand Ole Opry Show" and "The Grand Ole Opry" are the same thing.

This is a completely false assumption. Not worth going into detail, but it's just wrong. Thomas Goldsmith Raleigh, N.C.

Requested move 4 September 2022

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Foggy Mountain Boys → Flatt and Scruggs – The title of this article should be "Flatt and Scruggs." This was the name of the duo, the Foggy Mountain Boys were their backing band. Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs were not members of the Foggy Mountain Boys at any time. The Foggy Mountain Boys included Paul Warren, Curly Seckler, Josh Graves, and a variety of other artists who worked as backing musicians to the main duo, Flatt and Scruggs, over the course of their 20-year career. All of their records say either "Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, and the Foggy Mountain Boys," or "Flatt & Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys," or some variation thereof, or simply "Flatt and Scruggs." "Flatt & Scruggs" is and always was the name of the act.

There is currently a "Flatt and Scruggs" page that redirects to this, but it should be the other way around. Leonor Hopscotch (talk) 19:37, 4 September 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Glass Onion (song)

"Glass Onion" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 double album The Beatles (also known as the "White Album"). The song was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney.

Lyrics
Lennon wrote the song to confuse people who read too much into the lyrical meanings of Beatles songs, which annoyed him. Many lines refer to earlier Beatles songs, including "Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am the Walrus", "Lady Madonna", "The Fool on the Hill", and "Fixing a Hole". The song also refers to the "Cast Iron Shore", a coastal area of south Liverpool known to local people as "The Cazzy". Lennon dismissed any deep meaning to the mysterious lyrics: "I threw the line in—'the Walrus was Paul'—just to confuse everybody a bit more. ... It could have been 'the fox terrier is Paul'. I mean, it's just a bit of poetry. I was having a laugh because there'd been so much gobbledygook about Pepper—play it backwards and you stand on your head and all that." "Glass Onion" was a name suggested by Lennon for the Iveys, a group who signed to Apple Records in 1968 and later became Badfinger.

Recording
The song was one of several recorded as a demo at George Harrison's Esher home in 1968 before the recording sessions for The Beatles. The Esher demo was first released on Anthology 3 (1996) and the 2018 deluxe edition of The Beatles. Anthology 3 also included an alternate version that contained various sound effects rather than the string arrangement.

This is the first track on The Beatles to feature Ringo Starr on drums. Starr briefly left the group during recording sessions for the album, and drums on both "Back in the U.S.S.R." and "Dear Prudence" were played by Paul McCartney.

Legacy
Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of its release, Jacob Stolworthy of The Independent listed "Glass Onion" at number 10 in his ranking of the 30 tracks on The Beatles. He wrote of the song: "Lennon embraced his cheeky side with 'Glass Onion', a self-referential track which parades as symbolic. Instead, it was designed to trick fans into thinking their songs meant more than they actually do." For the 50th-anniversary editions of The Beatles, a music video was created by Alasdair Brotherston and Jock Mooney.

The song served as a namesake for the 2022 film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and is featured in the film's end-credits.

Love remix
In 2006, the song was remixed for the Cirque du Soleil show Love and was included on the soundtrack for the show. The remix features elements of "Hello, Goodbye", "Things We Said Today", "Only A Northern Song", "Magical Mystery Tour", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Penny Lane".

The Gourds

The Gourds are an American alternative country band that formed in Austin, Texas, during the summer of 1994. After playing together for 19 consecutive years, the band went on hiatus in 2013.

Career
Primarily evolving from the Picket Line Coyotes and the Grackles, The Gourds first line-up consisted of Kevin Russell (vocals, guitar, mandolin), Jimmy Smith (vocals, bass, guitar), Claude Bernard (accordion, guitar, vocals), and Charlie Llewellin (drums, percussion). Llewellin was replaced by Keith Langford shortly after the second album was recorded, and multi-instrumentalist Max Johnston officially joined the band after being invited to play on their third album. By the following album, Johnston had also become the band's third songwriter, though Russell and Smith continued to share the bulk of those responsibilities.

Despite a sizable amount of original material, The Gourds are probably best known for a song they did not write, and for which they initially did not receive credit. A recording of the band's cover of Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" was widely shared on the popular file-sharing site Napster, with the song miscredited to the band Phish. In fact, for most of the 16 years following their first live performance of the song, fans could regularly be heard calling out for the band's cover version of the song, sometimes before the show had even started. This led some to consider it an albatross, but the band continued to play the crowd pleaser, often adding a medley of impromptu cover songs to its midsection.

While The Gourds' studio efforts were generally well received, their high-energy live performances and constant touring earned them the reputation of a band that had to be seen to be appreciated. As a result, they enjoyed a dedicated fan base that was happy to follow them from town to town,  and became a favorite among those who tape live music.

In March 2011, The Gourds traveled to Levon Helm's studio in Woodstock, New York to record their 10th studio album, Old Mad Joy. Produced by Larry Campbell, the record was released by Vanguard Records on September 13 that same year.

In August 2011, director Doug Hawes-Davis began shooting a documentary on the band that combined candid interviews with live performances, past and present. Musician and filmmaker Brendan Canty worked as a camera operator and ran location sound on the project, which drew partial funding from Kickstarter in 2012 and premiered in Austin at the South by Southwest film festival on March 13, 2013. The film was released on DVD in 2014.

On October 18, 2013, The Gourds announced that they were taking a hiatus. No reason was provided. Their final show before the break occurred on October 27, 2013, at Threadgill's World Headquarters in Austin, Texas. Despite having only nine days notice, Gourds fans from 26 different states were in attendance, and many more watched from home via live streaming video. During an interview the following year, Russell stated, “I think it’s done,” adding, “The only reason we said hiatus was that we didn’t want to say it was done, because that would be final". In response to Russel's comments, Langford stated, "I still wish that someday there could be a project of some kind. Knowing all these dudes, it probably wouldn't be an extended thing. But, some new songs or shows or something". Two months later, in December 2014, Russell seemed slightly more accepting of the idea when he said, "We left it open-ended for a reason. . . I have a little hope that one day we'll get back together and do something". To date, Bernard, Johnston, and Smith have not commented publicly on either the hiatus or the possibility of a reunion.

 * Comment. I don't think this is advertising although it still may not be encyclopedic.  It appears that a user has found two tools that help analyze the HijackThis log file (which I plan to try next time I run that program) and he/she is just trying to share that information.  It looks to me like Help2Go itself may be notable enough for a listing but the Help2Go Detective should just be a part of that article.  However, no one has written a Help2Go article, so there is nothing right now to merge and redirect this to.  DS1953 15:47, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to HijackThis, ONLY because the data given by HijackThis is very difficult to interpret without a program of this type; I normally would not find "add-on" programs to be inherently notable, but in this specific case, it is pretty important. Dcarrano 22:33, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

Vladislav Bogićević

Vladislav Bogićević (Владислав Богићевић, ; born 7 November 1950) is a Serbian retired footballer.

He is a member of the American National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Club career
Bogićević's playing career included 13 seasons with Red Star Belgrade where he was part of five Yugoslav league winning teams. Throughout his time at Red Star he was known by nickname Bleki.

With his confident play for Red Star, Bogićević garnered interest from several European clubs. However, strict sporting rules of communist Yugoslavia stating that no player could move abroad until the start of calendar year in which he turns 28 prevented the transfer from taking place.

New York Cosmos
In January 1978, technically still at the age of 27, Bogićević joined the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. In time, the media would nickname him Bogie. In 203 regular season games, Bogićević scored 31 goals and 147 assists. He appeared in additional 33 playoff games scoring 8 goals and 19 assists.

"Bogie" was named to either the first or second team all-star team in each of his seven NASL seasons (second team in 1978 and 1979, and first team in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, and 1984). He was also on three NASL championship winning teams. He was the league assist leader in 1981, 1982, and 1983.

Bogićević was inducted into the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame on 14 October 2002.

International
On the international scene, Bogićević appeared in 23 matches for Yugoslavia, scored two goals, and represented his country at the 1974 FIFA World Cup.

1972 Euros qualifying
Bogićević made his debut on 9 May 1971 versus East Germany. Looking to protect the 0–2 away lead, head coach Vujadin Boškov brought the 21-year-old as a second-half substitute for Brane Oblak. By the end Yugoslavia, had conceded a goal, but still managed to hold on for important 1–2 win in front of 94,876 fans in Leipzig.

A short substitute appearance was Bogićević's only action for the entire qualifying cycle. Yugoslavia finished the qualifying group on top, but lost to the Soviet Union in the second qualifying round and thus failed to clinch a spot for the final tournament in Belgium.

It would be year and a half before Bogićević got another chance with the national team. On 20 September 1972, in preparation for the start of 1974 World Cup qualifying, Yugoslavia played a friendly with Italy in Turin. Head coach Boskov, who stayed on for another qualifying cycle despite a failure in the previous one, gave Bogićević another substitute appearance – this time for Petar Krivokuća.

1974 World Cup qualifying
Bogićević didn't feature in the first two matches of Yugoslavia's qualifying campaign during the fall of 1972.

However, he finally got a starting opportunity on 9 May 1973 in a friendly versus West Germany in Munich as well as four days later versus Poland in Warsaw. A couple of months later, he was a starter in another friendly versus Hungary in Belgrade.

When qualifying resumed on 21 October 1973 with a clash versus Spain in Zagreb, Bogićević reached another milestone – his first competitive start for the national team. Yugoslavia drew 0–0 with the group favouritesm and the disappointing draw spelled the end of Boškov's time with the national team. He was replaced by a 5-man coaching commission consisting of Miljan Miljanić, Milan Ribar, Sulejman Rebac, Tomislav Ivić, and Milovan Ćirić. Bogićević did not play in the remaining qualifier, a nerve-wracking match that Yugoslavia won 4-2, getting the two-goal margin necessary to avoid elimination from qualifying.

Due to finishing the group stage level on points and goal difference, Yugoslavia and Spain were ordered to contest a single-match playoff at a neutral venue with the winner going to the final tournament. Bogicevic played the entire game in Frankfurt.

Post-playing
Since retirement from football, Bogicevic has been involved in many different ventures. He was hired by CONCACAF to promote soccer throughout the United States. He later opened an Italian restaurant and entered real estate business for a while. He also developed a soccer academy in Clifton, New Jersey that bears his name.

Coaching
In 1994, Bogićević began to take an interest in coaching and has since then had various head coaching stints.

In July 1995, he took over the coaching of the now-defunct A-League's New York Centaurs after coach Len Roitman stepped down in the middle of the season. The team finished last in their division.

After taking part in national team scouting sessions during World Cup 1998, he signed a two-year contract with Yugoslav FA in August 2000. When Ilija Petković took the head coaching role for the first time, Bogićević became his assistant. Petković resigned in early 2001, but Bogićević stayed on.

In December 2001 when Yugoslav/Serbo-Montenegrin FA was looking for a single national team coach to replace the 3-man coaching commission, Bogićević expressed strong interest in the position and was interviewed. Then YFA president Dragan Stojković publicly said Bogićević had a disadvantage compared to the other candidates due to his limited head coaching experience and a lack of bench results. However, just several days later, Dejan Savićević was given the job despite having no prior coaching experience. When his contract with the FA expired in the summer of 2002, Bogićević, who by this time was in a role of observer, did not wish to renew it and left the national team.

One of his most recent coaching stints was with Portuguese first division side Belenenses during the 2003/2004 season. He resigned at the end of the season.

In 2010, Bogićević coached SC White Eagles from Paterson, New Jersey, a team that competes in the North Jersey Soccer League. In 2012, he joined Nyack College (NCAA Division II) Women's soccer staff as an assistant/technical advisor of Head Coach Samuel Oduro.

Talk:Fatality (Mortal Kombat)

NPOV
This is obviously an NPOV article written by someone in favor of censorship.

Sub-zero Image and Caption
I changed the caption in the first image to direct to Sub-zero instead of Noob Saibot. I understand that the character in the image is actually Noob Saibot because it is from the first game, but it seems to me that if the caption says Sub-zero it should direct to Sub-zero, where the reader can read the clarification between the two charactors. Anyone else have an opinion? stemperm 16:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I should think that there is enough explaination in Noob Saibot's article of his origins that such a change is not required. Noob Saibot is correct for the character involved. Madslocodemente 03:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Guilty Gear Destoryed Moves
Some of the Destroyed moves in Guilty Gear seem rather reminiscent of Fatalities, i motion to include them in this article.

I think Baiken's is the only one that bears similarity to a fatality. BassxForte 21:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Fatilities in other games.
Whilst I do not agree with an article merge between Finishing Moves and Fatality (Mortal Kombat) I think this section could be covered of by stating the influence it had on games which followed and then linking to the Finishing Moves article to expand on it. The games mentioned are covered off in Finishing Moves already. Madslocodemente 02:53, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Have gone ahead and made a change as per my above comment as no-one spoke out against such ideas and it makes sense. Madslocodemente 22:38, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

WTF?
Why was the seperate (sp.?) page for Friendships removed? I always used to love visiting that page and seeing what all the Friendships were. But now... :( MORTAL KOMBAAAT!!! XD (talk) 03:48, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Merging Brutality Page
I'm entirely against it. It may be useless information, though it is abundant, and fans like to know that useless information. (Kombat Krave 23:17, 31 December 2007 (UTC))
 * The Brutality article has no secondary sources and does not satisfy Notability or Notability (fiction). There is nothing to support the separate article. See Articles for deletion/Friendship (Mortal Kombat) for a similar discussion.  Pagra shtak  18:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge them, seriously.Master Bigode (talk) 19:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the various spin-offs of the Fatality that appeared in the various Mortal Kombat games should at least be mentioned in the article. --138.73.70.48 (talk) 07:05, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Fatality.png
Image:Fatality.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Animality
Wasn't the first animality technically in MKII when Lui Kang turns into a dragon and eats someone's upper half? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.71.10.207 (talk) 22:13, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Some form of reception
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/03/25/paul-ws-anderson-for-buck-rogers-the-pros-cons/ There appears to be some form of reception for fatalites: "very appeal of "Mortal Kombat" is built around that source video game's Fatalities." It seems like I'd be putting WP:OR, any suggestions? Subzerosmokerain (talk) 23:18, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/05/03/the-best-and-worst-mk-fatalities.aspx Can this be considered reception too? Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 23:04, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

http://www.pcworld.com/article/177648/7_mortal_kombat_series.html A brief mention of Fatalities being the reason of MK's fame, by PC World. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 19:34, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Cultural Impact: Fatal1ty ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 08:48, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Genericized trademark?
The trademark name "Fatality" or "Fatalities" is often being used in generically-referring to the death moves (or finishing moves) in similar fighting games, which some of them already have their own trademark names for their death moves (e.g. "Overkills" in Eternal Champions, "Claytalities" in ClayFighter 63⅓), while the official name for the death moves in some others are currently unknown. Parrothead1983 (talk) 01:33, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

"Friendship"
in the article, it says the phrase "Friendship! Friendship? Again!" I sincerely doubt this is the case. The two Friendships do not have different punctuation, and only sound slightly different. The phrase "Again" is non-existant. Can anyone confirm? 74.128.56.194 (talk) 19:58, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

 * It appears in MK3 and MKT as saying that. In MKII it did not have the different inflections, but in those titles I stated it did. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 22:47, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
