Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Purplefeltangel

Purplefeltangel
Final (1/10/2) ending 06:40 27 July 2005 (UTC) I have known this gentleman for quite some time and I am convinced he shall make a significant contribution to Wikipedia as an administrator. Any review of his recent record should convince you of the same. Rainbowwarrior1977 06:40, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Nomination Not Accepted.

Support
 * 1) Strong support Just look at her sterling record, folksRainbowwarrior1977 06:52, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) *Rainbowwarrior1977 has about twenty edits total, several of which aren't particularly civil. I believe this nomination comes perilously close to WP:POINT, and anyway PFA has declined it. Radiant_ >|< 20:58, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) No. —Cryptic (talk) 06:46, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose Cyberjunkie | Talk 07:00, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Sorry 466 edits  is no where near enuf. Highly recommend the nominator withdraw the nomination, as it's sure to fail, and only can serve as a distraction to the nominee (and anyone else visiting this page). Note: Nominator only has 19 edits--way too soon to be nominating users here (also doesn't even know where to leave messages)(also seems to have trouble determining gender--"gentleman" v. "her"). Niteowlneils 07:21, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) As per Cryptic, I have to oppose this nomination. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 07:29, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 07:35, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose. Our edit counter stops at 466, and considering that one of the edits is vandalism, there is no way that I can support this. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:51, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose edit count is much too small. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 10:33, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose Cannot trust him now because he has only 466 edits. I'll vote for you if you edit more and become more familiar with wikipedia--Exir Kamalabadi | Contributions 10:54, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) Weak oppose I'm sorry, but I see quite a few questionable-at-best edits in the contribution history which lead me to strongly suspect that the user has a very poor knowledge of policy (I would consider letting the edit that Cryptic pointing out slide if it were the only questionable edit, but it seems to only be the worst example.) Not so much the edit count, though.  If re-nominated later, I will consider supporting.  Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 14:27, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Oppose vandalism is never funny. Especially not when you do it right before an RfA. There's also this helpful contribution, and this hidden away in an HTML comment, which I have just reverted. I wonder about the seriousness of this nomination, to be honest, given the nominator's 48 hour exisntence and the nominees behvaiour. -Splash 17:13, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 11) Strong Oppose I am the nominee and I have never met this person before. I have no idea who he is and why he's referring to me as a "gentleman." I think this was not a good-faith nomination. And Cryptic is absolutely right; I have vandalized a page, so why should I be an admin? ♥purplefeltangel 20:26, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Neutral. I'm not entirely sure this is a good-faith nomination; the candidate wasn't even told she was being nominated. I'll wait until she has a chance to answer the questions before I vote. --Scimitar parley 17:05, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Agree with Scimitar, though 466 edits is below my threshold to support. Jonathunder 17:13, 2005 July 20 (UTC)

Comments
 * 466, with one vandalism--Exir Kamalabadi | Contributions 10:54, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * As this user is not going to pass by any chance (and perhaps even doesn't know about the vote) I /strongly/ recommend to remove it from voting. Pavel Vozenilek 19:12, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Since the user wasn't notified about the vote until today (by me), I recommend she be given a chance to answer the questions. I, for one, am curious as to whether this was even a good faith nomination.  At the very least, it will help show Purplefeltangel Wikipedian standards for admins, as well as the community view of even humorous vandalism. As it does no harm for it to stay the seven days, I would suggest letting the vote run its course. If the bureaucrats disagree, I cede the argument to their judgement. --Scimitar parley 19:43, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd really like it if the nomination was removed. I'm well aware of Wikipedia policies; to tell you the truth the reason I vandalized the HBP page was because I was bored on the day it came out. Considering that, I see no reason why this should stay. ♥purplefeltangel 20:33, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

NGC 1999

NGC 1999, also known as The Cosmic Keyhole, is a dust-filled bright nebula with a vast hole of empty space represented by a black patch of sky, as can be seen in the photograph. It is a reflection nebula, and shines from the light of the variable star V380 Orionis.

It was previously believed that the black patch was a dense cloud of dust and gas which blocked light that would normally pass through, called a dark nebula. Analysis of this patch by the infrared telescope Herschel (October 9, 2009), which has the capability of penetrating such dense cloud material, resulted in continued black space. This led to the belief that either the cloud material was immensely dense or that an unexplained phenomenon had been detected.

With support from ground-based observations done using the submillimeter bolometer cameras on the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment radio telescope (November 29, 2009) and the Mayall (Kitt Peak) and Magellan telescopes (December 4, 2009), it was determined that the patch looks black not because it is an extremely dense pocket of gas, but because it is truly empty. The exact cause of this phenomenon is still being investigated, although it has been hypothesized that narrow jets of gas from some of the young stars in the region punctured the sheet of dust and gas, as well as, powerful radiation from a nearby mature star may have helped to create the hole. Researchers believe this discovery should lead to a better understanding of the entire star forming process.

It is located 1,500 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Orion. HH 1/2, the first recognized Herbig-Haro Object, is located near NGC 1999.

Herald Sun Tour

The Herald Sun Tour is an Australian professional bicycle race held in Melbourne and provincial Victoria, sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The first tour was held in October 1952 as a six-day event. It is now held annually over five days in February, though as of 2024 the most recent edition was in 2020. It is named after the Herald Sun, Melbourne's only daily tabloid newspaper. It was originally known as the Sun Tour after The Sun News-Pictorial, and changed its name when The Sun News-Pictorial merged with The Herald in 1990.

History
In 1952 the first general classification winner was Keith Rowley, a Maffra sheep farmer, in a time of 42 h 57 min 55 s. The first King of the Mountain and Sprint champion was Jack (John) McDonough from Coburg.

Australian cyclists dominated the first 30 editions of the race, before its status rose and began attracting overseas stars. By the year 2000, the race had shifted to October and Australia's cyclists racing in Europe began to compete in the race. The resulting rise in the event's standard saw the race become rated by the UCI for the first time in 2005. Several notable Australian cyclists have won the General classification including Stuart O'Grady in 2008, Baden Cooke in 2002, Neil Stephens in 1986, and Russell Mockridge in 1957.

The 2004 race was conducted from 14 to 24 October 2004 and involved 85 cyclists in seventeen teams of five. Thirteen stages were completed with a total distance of 1110.7 km, 119 intermediate sprints and 37 hill climbs, including the two category one climbs of Mount Baw Baw and in the Otway Ranges. Swedish rider Jonas Ljungblad won the General classification in the time of 26 h 39 min 55 s. Karl Menzies won the sprint classification and Phillip Thuaux won the Mountains classification.

After the 2009 race, the organisers of the Herald Sun Tour proposed moving the race from its traditional October date to February, with no edition in 2010. Cycling Australia approved the move, but in the face of opposition from the UCI, the plans never came to fruition. In the end, the 2010 race was "held over" due to the 2010 UCI Road World Championships being held in Geelong and Melbourne, and the race returned to the calendar in October 2011. The UCI accepted a change of date the following year, with a January 2013 date instead of October 2012, but downgraded the race from 2.1 to a National Event, preventing most professional teams from across the world from taking part.

2014
The next edition of the Tour was held from 5–9 February 2014, and regained a UCI 2.1 ranking, permitting top level trade teams to again compete. Due to numerous bushfires across Victoria the last stage of the race was cancelled, with rider Simon Clarke declared the winner.

2016
The 63rd edition of the Tour got a huge profile boost when reigning Tour de France champion Chris Froome of confirmed he would be starting his 2016 season at the event, having previously participated in 2008 with the Barloworld team where he finished 4th overall. Froome won the overall title on the final stage on Arthurs Seat, making him the first defending Tour de France champion to win the race, with teammate Peter Kennaugh finishing second and Damien Howson of Orica-GreenEdge placing third. He also took the mountains classification.

2017
The 64th edition of the race was won by Damien Howson of.

2018
The 65th edition of the Herald Sun Tour was won by Esteban Chaves of the World Tour ranked team. Michelton Scott dominated the general classification of the 2018 edition with teammates Cameron Meyer (2nd) and previous winner Damien Howson (3rd) rounding out the final podium.

2019
The 66th edition of the race was won by Dylan van Baarle of. Rounding out the podium were Nick Schultz of and Michael Woods of.

2021 and beyond
In August 2020, the 2021 edition was cancelled due to the uncertainty and unpredictability caused by the impact of COVID-19. The event was rescheduled to February 2022, but was cancelled due to continuing uncertainty around the pandemic.

In October 2022, the 2023 race was cancelled due to "ongoing logistical, planning, timing, and workforce challenges" but the race planned to return for 2024. However it failed to return for the 2024 season.

Texas Tommy (dance)

The Texas Tommy is a vigorous social dance for couples that originated in San Francisco in the early twentieth century.

History
After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, the Barbary Coast, the red-light district of the city, was rebuilt and given new life as a tourist attraction, a place of dance halls, theatres, shops, and restaurants. Dance exhibitions and variety shows designed to attract tourists replaced prostitution as the chief business of the area. Many of the dance crazes that swept America during the 1900s and 1910s originated in this section of San Francisco. The Thalia, the largest and most popular dance hall on the Pacific coast, was the birthplace of the Texas Tommy. ("Tommy" was a slang term for prostitute.)

Around 1910, the Texas Tommy was a hit at a lowlife hot spot called Purcell's, a Negro cabaret, but it became respectable when it was danced at the upscale Fairmont Hotel, the most popular venue for ballroom dancing in San Francisco. Who invented the Texas Tommy is obscure. Most likely the signature moves of the dance were being performed by patrons at Purcell's, and some innovative visitor adapted them for the ballroom floor. Some historians say that Johnny Peters, an African American, developed the Texas Tommy some time before 1910.In any event, after sheet music for "The Texas Tommy Swing" was published on 1 February 1911, the Fairmont's house band frequently played the song for its patrons. It was not long before the Texas Tommy was danced on Broadway, in Ziegfeld Follies of 1911, performed by Vera Maxwell, Harry Watson Jr., and the ensemble. In 1911, two of the Texas Tommy dancers, Ethel Williams and Johnny Peters, brought the Texas Tommy from San Francisco to Harlem, where it became popular as a vaudeville act and eventually evolved into Early Lindy Hop through social dancing at the Savoy Ballroom. It was also included as a number in Darktown Follies, an all-black musical produced Off-Broadway in 1913. Peters and Ethel Williams, who were masters of the dance, executed it on stage, as they had done regularly at the Fairmont.

Description
Some social dance historians have argued that the Texas Tommy was the first swing dance, on the basis that it was the first 8-count social dance to include a breakaway step from the closed position of most couple dances. Ethel Williams, who helped to popularize the dance in New York in 1913, described it as a "kick and a hop three times on each foot followed by a slide." The basic steps are followed by a breakaway, an open position that allowed for acrobatics, antics, improvisations, and showing off. Working from an old film of the dance, she also described it as having a basic pattern of "a loose step, hop-kick, step, hop-kick, run, run, run, run" and identified a "useful variation" of four step-kicks that "agrees with the open and improvisational manner that the Texas Tommy was described to have in many of the written references."

One reviewer of the Texas Tommy number in Ziegfeld Follies of 1911 described the dance in these words: "The Texas Tommy dancers are perhaps more acrobatic than eccentric . . . the whirl which spins his partner towards the footlights with such momentum that without aid she must assuredly fly across them must be nicely adjusted so that in neither force nor direction shall she escape the restraining grasp of his hand outstretched just at the right moment to arrest her." A more modern writer put it in simpler terms, saying that it was "a whirling couple dance with a momentum that nearly catapulted the female partner across the orchestra pit." Texas Tommy was later used to name a typical swingout dance move that was a characteristic of the Lindy Hop in the 1930s.

Original sheet music
The "Texas Tommy Swing" was composed by Sid Brown, with lyrics by Val Harris, and was published by the World's Fair Publishing Company in San Francisco in January or February 1911. The sheet music cover was designed in the form of the front page of a newspaper, with the headline reading "The Dance That Makes the Whole World Stare." The faux newspaper included reprints of three articles from the San Francisco Examiner, headlined "Pavlowa Endorsed Texas Tommy Swing," "Mrs. Oelriches Liked Texas Tommy Swing," and "The Story of the Dance," which is transcribed here:

A breath from the cotton fields - the grizzly bear, the loving hug, the walk-back and the turkey-trot all blend in Texas Tommy Swing.

The Texas Tommy Swing invades the north and east like a dainty zephyr from the perfumed cotton fields of the sunny South. The rhythm of the Grizzy Bear, the inspiration of the Loving Hug, the grace of the Walk-Back and the abandon of the Turkey-Trot all belend in the harmony of the Texas Tommy Swing, which was really the parent of all the others.

The dance originated more than forty years ago among the negroes of the old Southern plantations. Every little movement has a meaning all its own to the heart truly in tune with nature. The graceful harmonies of the song and dance reflect the joyous spirit of the negro race, the care-free actions of the Dinahs and the Sams who gathered outside the cabin doors on moonlit nights and to the twang of the banjo or the scrape of the fiddle, vented the rhapsodies of mind and body in a purely natural way.

Here and there a raucous discord like the squaking voice of a chicken in distress breaks in upon the frivolous melody of the theme or a plaintive note brings a reminder of the tear always so close to the laugh in the negro nature.

Southern darkies brought the dance and a suggestion of the melody to San Francisco several years ago, and there upon the Barbary Coast it was rounded into perfect harmony. It took the place by storm. Eastern people interested in dancing took it up. Stage favorites seized upon its absorbing rhapsodies.

Society men and women accepted and adopted it. Pavlowa, the Czar's favorite dancer, went into raptures over it and incorporated it in her repertoire. Leaders of the four hundred all over the country regard it as one of the sights of San Francisco and endorse it to their friends on their return.

In tangible and concrete form this inspiring, historic and dramatic song and dance is now presented to the public for the first time, in Texas Tommy Swing.

Battle Engine Aquila

Battle Engine Aquila is a 2003 video game for PlayStation 2 and Xbox developed by Lost Toys and published by Infogrames Europe. In the game the player pilots the Battle Engine for the Forseti military in their wars against the Muspell to decide who will rule what's left of the world. Battle Engine Aquila received little attention from the public despite overall good reviews from critics. It was listed as #86 in the Top 100 Games for PlayStation 2 by IGN. A later Microsoft Windows port was published by Encore Software.

Setting
The ice caps on the planet Allium have melted due to the greenhouse effect. As a result, most of the planet's surface ended up underwater. Only 13 islands scattered across the surface remain and only two civilizations of Allium's human-like inhabitants are left: the peaceful and technological Forseti and the aggressive Muspell. Both civilizations are at the brink of war with each other in a battle over the remaining landmasses.

Story
The player assumes the role of Hawk Winter, a Forseti dockworker. He is also a dock racer where he races on his loader. After one of the races Tatiana Kiralova, a friend of Hawk's and an overseer of the Aquila program, persuades colonel Chuck Kramer, the leader of the Forseti Air Force, to secretly assign Hawk to pilot the Battle Engine.

War erupts with the Muspell attacking RI-04 island close to Forseti Major, the homeland of Forseti, and home of the Aquila program R&D facilities. The player wipes out the whole Muspell strike force in time to fight the rest of the war.

Gameplay
The Battle Engine has two modes of operation: "Jet mode" allows the Battle Engine to fly for a limited time, while "Walker mode" transforms the Battle Engine into a mech-like walking tank. When the Battle Engine is in Walker Mode, its weapons are considerably stronger than when it is in Jet Mode, and is tougher but much slower.

There are 4 different types of Battle Engine that one may choose to pilot: Pulsar, Blazer, Lancer and Sniper. There are multiple weapons that are available for the Battle Engines that can be used. The Sniper Battle Engine only has 1 airborne weapon (the others have two each), the Vulcan Cannon, but it is the only ship that can engage a stealth mode, rendering it invisible. This capability drains the energy of the Battle Engine, in a similar fashion to the Jet Mode.

The campaign provides at least 8 hours gameplay on the easiest difficulty, and each level presents a new threat or dilemma to tackle. There are a variety of boss - style unique enemies that play key roles on the battlefield, and a good variety of standard units to take on as well. The story's narrative and the characters within do little to enhance the game's entertainment value.

The battles themselves are well simulated, with beach landings, ambushes and airborne landing craft, artillery raining down from naval forces while bombers and fighters engage each other overhead.

The game also involves some strategic thinking, giving the players the option of what targets to prioritize rather than giving them a specific objective. The players may at any point choose to take out the enemies factories, distract their fighters, harass incoming landing craft or pick off specific targets.

Reception
The Xbox version received "generally favorable reviews", while the PC and PlayStation 2 versions received "mixed or average reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Edge gave the PS2 and Xbox versions 7 out of 10. GamePro gave the PS2 version an average review over a month before the game's release.

Despite positive critical reception, Battle Engine Aquila received poor sales. IGN ranked it as the 86th best PlayStation 2 game.

Talk:Gennaro Rubino

Point of view
This article is written almost entirely on the basis of official police statements as reported by the New York Times and the Scotsman. Some anarchist publications had very different theories about Rubino's relationship with the police and the motives and circumstances surrounding the assasination attempt. Without more research it's hard to tell if any of these theories are plausable. Kaldari 06:52, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Name
Rubino's first name was reported in the media as Gennaro or Genarro. Gennaro appears to be the correct spelling. His last name was reported as Rubino, Rubini, or Rubin. Rubino appears to be correct. I have set up redirects for some of the other spellings. Kaldari 03:03, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Birthplace
According to early reports, Rubino was born in Binardo (near Naples). Later accounts reported he was born in Bitonto. I'm going to go with the later reports as they are probably more accurate. Kaldari 02:00, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Article from the Nashville Banner
Here is an article published about the incident (which I copied from a Microfilm archive). As this was an early report, there are likely many inaccuracies: Three Shots Fired at King of the Belgians. Brussels, November 15.–Three shots were fired ot (sic) the King of Belgium this morning as he was proceeding to the Cathedral to attend a te deum in memory of the late Queen Henrietta. No one was hurt. The man who fired the shots is an Italian. He stood in front of the Bank of Brussels on the Rue Royale. The other chambers in the revolver proved to be blank, so it is presumed that those fired were equally harmless. The man was immediately arrested and the police had some difficulty in rescuing him from the hands of the crowd. He gave the name of Robini (sic). The royal cortege consisted of several carriages, besides that of the King, containing the Count and Countess of Flanders, Prince and Princess Albert of Flanders, the Princess Clementine and the aides-de-camp and ladies of honor. When examined by the police, Robino (sic) confessed that he intended to shoot King Leopold, and said he held Anarchist beliefs. Rubino is a bookkeeper. He was born at Rinardo, near Naples, in 1859, and has lately lived in Brussels. Fired Ball Cartridge. A fuller investigation satisfied the police that Rubino really fired a ball cartidge, the bullet of which smashed the window of Comte D'Eoultremont's carriage and grazed the Grand Marshal's face. When rescued from the mob Rubino was placed in a cab, and infuriated crowds immediately surrounded it and attacked the vehicle with knives and sticks. The police had great difficulty in forcing a way to the police station through the crowd, which shouted alternately "Kill him" and "Long live the King." The cab was badly hacked with knives. A search of the prisoner revealed a package af (sic) ball cartidges. It is reported that Rubino had been heard to express anarchistic opinions, and it was also said that he came to Brussels from London expressly to kill King Leopold, and went to the Cathedral to-day for this purpose, but refrained from shooting at the King for fear of killing soldiers who stood between him and His Majesty. Rubino is also reported to have said he was employed in the Italian secret service in London and that he came to Brussels a fortnight ago with the intention of assassinating King Leopold. News Spread. The news of the outrage spread rapidly throughout the city and the greatest excitement prevailed. The people thronged the streets, eagerly discussing the attempt on the life of the King, and large crowds gathered in front of the various bulletin boards. The newspapers issued frequent editions and these were eagerly bought. General abhorrence was expressed by the people at the apparent deliberate attempt to assassinate the sovereign. King Leopold appeared to be quite unmoved by the attempt of Rubino to kill him. After luncheon at the palace, His Majesty entered a motor car and proceeded to the railroad station, where he boarded a train bound for Groenendael. - Nashville Banner, Vol. 27, No. 186 (Nov. 15, 1902), p. 1.

Some of the differences between this account and later reports include the following: Kaldari 21:54, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Rubino's birthplace
 * Whether Leopold was traveling to or from the funeral
 * Whether the Grand Marshall's face was grazed by a bullet or simply hit with bloken glass from the window

Death

 * When where how did he die ?Hektor 02:10, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * March 14, 1918 in Louvain prison in Belgium according to the Milillo article. Kaldari (talk) 23:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Additional research
Surveillance of Rubino by the London Metropolitan Police Special Branch is discussed briefly in the book The Origins of the Vigilant State: The London Metropolitan Police Special Branch Before the First World War. Kaldari (talk) 23:17, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

A book was published in Belgium in 2006 about Rubino: Rubino, l'anarchiste italien qui tenta d'assassiner Léopold II. It was written by Anne Morelli. Kaldari (talk) 00:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Descendants in England
Rubino has descendants in England, although no verifiable information is known about his family there. Kaldari (talk) 23:28, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently his wife in London was named Emily Alderton. He also had a previous wife in Italy named Maria Teresa Fatelli. Kaldari (talk) 00:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

New references
Would it be possible to add the article names to the new references you added from La Meuse and Journal De Charleroi? That will make it easier for other people to find them. Kaldari (talk) 19:48, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No; they just have to open it, the papers are full of this attack on the King, easy look on Belgica KBR. --Carolus (talk) 10:43, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Tudor style (architecture)

The image of the house displayed in this article is not Tudor style, if anything it is more Lutyensesque, arts and crafts, early 20th century. Giano | talk 06:45, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I have changed the image and made some alterations to the page. to define more clearly the style. Giano | talk 07:57, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Page move/merge
This page since its creation has always been solely concerned with architecture. The title is in fact misleading, as Tudor style, could be concerned with dress, or in fact anything generating from that era. I propose that the content here is moved and incorporated at the Tudorbethan page, which is the more common name for pseudo-Tudor architecture. This page could then be left a a redirect until some one wishes to write a page about complete Tudor style. Does anyone have a comment, objection or better idea. Giano | talk 12:14, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I must say I haven't come across the expression "Tudorbethan". Is it an American usage? Deb 21:47, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * No sadly, it's English, and becoming estate agent jargonese. How do you feel about Neo-Tudor Giano | talk 21:49, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Personally, I think Neo-Tudor's better. But it really depends whether it's recognised by the kind of people (don't mean to sound snobbish) who are attracted by that style! Deb 22:14, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * "Tudorbethan" is modelled on John Betjeman's 1933 coinage "Jacobethan" which he used to describe the mixed revival style that had been called things like "Free English Renaissance". "Tudorbethan" takes it a step further. We do have a serious article on Googie, after all. Whatever is decided, "Tudor style" should redirect to it, until someone finds a unity in the styles of Henry VII and Elizabeth I. --Wetman 22:21, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Shouldn't "Tudor style" be a disambiguation page in this case? Deb 22:39, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Good idea Deb, and .....umm yes that did sound a just a tiny bit snobbish - take it you don't live surrounded by lacquered horse brasses and "olde worlde" charm, under a roof of luxuriant "plasti-thatch". Giano | talk 07:01, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, there are one or two genuine Tudor properties near me. It puts things in perspective. Deb 08:47, 24 July 2005 (UTC).
 * I hate to disagree with my old friend Wetman, but I also think Neo-Tudor is better, but in spite of that I think we should stick with Tudorbethan, as it seems daft creating even more pages on the same subject.  You're right Debs real Tudor puts the imitations in their place so it's very hard to write these pages without letting the POV creep in. Giano | talk 13:02, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * There are quite a number of "Tudorbethan" houses, in fact a whole street of them, in our neck of the wood, every one with a nicely painted-on "half-timbered" look, which covers ordinary brickwork underneath. The owners regularly repaint the "timbers" black every few years or so and the "infills" white. No wonder, architects call it pastiche. Dieter Simon 23:32, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Does anyone actualy like Tudorbethan? Giano | talk 10:02, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Tudorbethan is the actual term used by the Oxford Dictionary of Architecture for "a style of domestic architecture involving revival of Elizabethan, Jacobean and Tudor architectural elements..." They also carry entries on Tudor architecture for the actual period style, and one on Tudor Revival, but none on Tudor style. I think we might be justified to keep Tudorbethan. It is a bona fide term, although it uses a critical vocabulary. Dieter Simon 00:08, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The consensus seems to be to retain Tudorbethan make this a disambig page. I've just re-read Tudorbethan, it seems to me to cover the subject quite succinctly, perhaps the images from here could go there, but most of the info here is already there, what little is not can easily be put there. Concerning the redirect, I think this page should first be moved to Tudor style (architecture) then made a redirect. I'll wait a few days to see if anyone else who contributed to Tudor style has a view and then get on with it. Giano | talk 06:40, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with you here, if there is anything Ican do, let me know. Dieter Simon 23:20, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I've incorporated much of the information here to Tudorbethan. It reads a little clumsily at the moments so all help welcome!  Tudor style is now moved to Tudor style (architecture) and all are redirects. So if anyone wants to start a mammoth gargantuan page on all aspects of Tudor style they now can.

And again
Would this page, now of the 2nd creation, now not be better at Tudor architecture? This currently (probably wrongly) now links to Tudorbethan Giano | talk 13:08, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Teodoro Borlongan

Teodoro C. Borlongan (April 15, 1955 – April 11, 2005) was the last president of Urban Bank and was one of the leading bankers in the Philippines during his time.

Borlongan was named one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men for domestic banking in 1993. He graduated cum laude from the Honors Economics program of the Ateneo de Manila University in 1978. In the 1980s, he became president of Urban Bank, which he turned into one of the largest banks in the Philippines during his long tenure there. Court cases, however, forced the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to shut it down on April 26, 2000.

Over the years that followed, the numerous court cases that came upon Borlongan, including charges of economic sabotage—then punishable by the death penalty, and what he thought was his failure to obtain justice from those who he accused as allegedly responsible for Urban Bank's permanent closure ultimately drove him into depression. On April 11, 2005, he brought flowers to the graves of his late parents and brother at the Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina. After sending an e-mail to a close friend and making calls on his cellular phone to his wife and close relatives, he stepped into his parked car and committed suicide with a gunshot to his left temple. He was four days short of his 50th birthday, leaving behind his wife, Dolly, and their four young children, Katherine, Jonathan, Christopher and Stephanie.

Donald A. Martin

Donald Anthony Martin (born December 24, 1940), also known as Tony Martin, is an American set theorist and philosopher of mathematics at UCLA, where he is an emeritus professor of mathematics and philosophy.

Education and career
Martin received his B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1962 and was a Junior Fellow of the Harvard Society of Fellows in 1965–67. In 2014, he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

Martin was the 1992 Tarski lecturer.

Philosophical and mathematical work
Among Martin's most notable works are the proofs of analytic determinacy (from the existence of a measurable cardinal), Borel determinacy (from ZFC alone), the proof (with John R. Steel) of projective determinacy (from suitable large cardinal axioms), and his work on Martin's axiom. The Martin measure on Turing degrees is also named after Martin.
