Bad Reichenhall

Bad Reichenhall (Central Bavarian: Reichahoi) is a spa town, and administrative center of the Berchtesgadener Land district in Upper Bavaria, Germany. It is located near Salzburg in a basin encircled by the Chiemgau Alps (including Mount Staufen (1,771 m) and Mount Zwiesel (1,781 m)). Together with other alpine towns Bad Reichenhall engages in the Alpine Town of the Year Association for the implementation of the Alpine Convention to achieve sustainable development in the alpine arc. Bad Reichenhall was awarded Alpine Town of the Year in 2001.

Bad Reichenhall is a traditional center of salt production, obtained by evaporating water saturated with salt from brine ponds.

History

 * The earliest known inhabitants of the area were tribes of the Glockenbecher-Culture (a Bronze Age Culture, from about 2000 B.C.)
 * In the age of the La Tene culture (about 450 B.C.) organised salt production commenced utilising the local brine pools. In the same period a Celtic place of worship is placed at the "Langacker".
 * From 15 B.C to 480 A.D, the city was part of a Roman province, Noricum.
 * 1136 A.D bought the founding of a monastery St. Zeno.
 * In 1617–1619, a wooden pipeline for brine exportation to Traunstein was built, with a length of 31 km, and more than 200 m in altitude difference.
 * In 1834, two thirds of the city's buildings were destroyed by a major fire.
 * The early 19th century saw the beginning of tourism, with Reichenhall becoming a famous health resort.
 * From 1890 Reichenhall became known as "Bad Reichenhall".
 * During World War II the area was bombed by Allied forces, killing 200 people on 25 April 1945. The town centre with many hospitals and the train station was nearly totally destroyed; the barracks did not suffer any damage. After the war the area was under American military governance (1945–1948).
 * After World War II, the Americans established a Displaced Persons camp in the town, where Holocaust survivors lived for several years before immigrating to other countries.
 * In 1947, Ben Gurion visited the DP camp, and saw the artworks created by Samuel Bak, one of the Holocaust survivors living at the camp.
 * On 1 November 1999, 16-year-old Martin Peyerl shot at people in the streets from his bedroom window, killing three and wounding several others, among them actor Günter Lamprecht. He finally committed suicide after fatally shooting his sister and the family cat.
 * In 2001 Bad Reichenhall was named Alpine Town of the Year and a few years later became a member of Alpine Pearls.

Ice rink disaster
Fifteen people, twelve of them children, died in the collapse of the Bad Reichenhall Ice Rink on 2 January 2006. Thirty-four people were injured in the accident.

Farsala

Farsala (Φάρσαλα), known in Antiquity as Pharsalos (Φάρσαλος, Pharsalus), is a city in southern Thessaly, in Greece. Farsala is located in the southern part of Larissa regional unit, and is one of its largest towns. Farsala is an economic and agricultural centre of the region. Cotton and livestock are the main agricultural products, and many inhabitants are employed in the production of textile. The area is mostly famous for being the birthplace of the mythical ancient Greek hero Achilles, and the site of a major battle between Roman generals Gaius Julius Caesar and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus in 48 BC.

Geography
Farsala lies at the southern edge of the Thessalian Plain, 4 km south of the river Enipeas. The Greek National Road 3 (Larissa - Lamia) and the Greek National Road 30 (Karditsa - Volos) pass through the town. The Palaiofarsalos railway station (litt. "Ancient Pharsalus"), on the line from Athens to Thessaloniki and head of the branch line to Kalambaka, is located in the village of Stavros, 12 km to the west. Farsala is located 38 km south of Larissa, 41 km east of Karditsa, 44 km north of Lamia and 49 km west of Volos.

The municipality Farsala has an area of 739.74 km2, the municipal unit Farsala has an area of 121.433 km2, and the community Farsala has an area of 57.928 km2.

Proto-historic era
The Homeric Phthia of the Mycenaean period, capital of the Kingdom of the Myrmidons and of Peleus, father of Achilles, has sometimes been identified with the later city of Pharsalos (Greek: Φάρσαλος), now Farsala. A Cyclopean Wall which protected a city still exists today near modern Farsala, as does a vaulted tomb from that period.

There is a theory that claimed the existence of an earlier Pharsalos in the form of a locality identified as Palaepharsalus. This is supported by excavated remains of a fortified site called Xylades near Enipeus, which is located in the easternmost part of the Pharsalian territory. This ancient site was also associated by accounts of ancient writers with a holy place dedicated to Thetis called Thetidium. For instance, Euripides used this as a setting for Andromache.

Archaic era
The Pharsalos of the historic era was built over a hillside of the Narthacius mountains at an elevation of some 160 m, where modern Farsala stands. It was one of the main cities in Thessaly and was the capital of the Phthian tetrarch. It was also a polis (city-state).

Classical era
In the Persian Wars it sided with the Athenians. A distinctive tribe of the city was that of Echecratidon. In 455 BC Pharsalos was besieged by the Athenian commander Myronides, after his victory in Boeotia, but without success. At the commencement of the Peloponnesian War, Pharsalus was one of the Thessalian towns that sent succour to the Athenians. Medius of Larissa took Pharsalus by force, about 395 BC. Pharsalus, under the conduct of Polydamas, resisted Jason of Pherae for a time, but subsequently formed an alliance with him.

In the early 4th century BC, the city was a part of the Thessalian Commons. Later, it joined the Macedonian Kingdom under Philip II. The area became a theatre of war where the Aetolians and the Thessalians clashed with the Macedonians, especially during the Second and the Third Macedonian Wars.

The city during the classical period was influential as demonstrated in the influence wielded by the tetrarch Daochos, who ruled from Pharsalos. He was part of the Council of Amphictyonic League, administered the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, and conducted the Pythian Games. Daochos built several monuments at Pharsalos dedicated to members of his family. Parts of the eight portraits that survived showed classical style, depicting subjects in their youthful vigor.

Hellenistic era
In the war between Antiochus III and the Romans, Pharsalus was for a time in the possession of the Syrian monarch; but on the retreat of the latter, it surrendered to the consul Acilius Glabrio in 191 BC.

Roman era
After the defeat of the Macedonian Kingdom, Pharsalos and the whole area became a part of the Roman Republic.

The whole area suffered great destruction during the Roman Civil War. The Battle of Pharsalus, where Julius Caesar defeated Pompey and changed the course of the Roman Republic forever, took place in 48 BC in the fields of the Pharsalian Plain.

The geographer Strabo speaks of two towns, Old Pharsalos, Παλαιοφάρσαλος (Palaeopharsalos) and Pharsalos, existing in historical times. His statement (9.5.6) that the Thetideion, the temple to Thetis south of Scotussa, was “near both the Pharsaloi, the Old and the New”, seems to imply that Palaeopharsalos was not itself close by Pharsalos. Although the battle of 48 BC is called after Pharsalos, four ancient writers – the author of the Bellum Alexandrinum (48.1), Frontinus (Strategemata 2.3.22), Eutropius (20), and Orosius (6.15.27) – place it specifically at Palaeopharsalos. In 198 B.C. Philip V had sacked Palaeopharsalos (Livy 32.13.9). If that town had been close to Pharsalos he would have sacked both, and Livy would have written “Pharsalus” instead of “Palaeopharsalus”. The British scholar F. L. Lucas demonstrated (Annual of the British School at Athens, No. XXIV, 1919–21) that the battle of 48 BC must have been fought north of the Enipeus, near modern-day Krini. It has been suggested that Krini was built on the site of Palaeopharsalos, where the old road south from Larissa emerged from the hills on to the Pharsalian Plain.

In the time of Pliny the Elder, Pharsalus was a free state. It is also mentioned by Hierocles in the sixth century.

Modern Farsala
Farsala was known as Çatalca during Ottoman rule.

Following the Treaty of Berlin the city became part of the Hellenic Kingdom together with the rest of Thessaly in 1881. During the First Greco-Turkish War (1897), a took place in the vicinity of Farsala.

The contemporary town has no historical or medieval buildings left as a result of a World War II bombardment and a catastrophic earthquake that struck the area in 1954. Small scale urbanization processes attracted population from surrounding villages during the 80's and 90's creating an urban landscape typical of Greek cities with small apartment buildings in nearby plots of land.

Municipality
The municipality Farsala was formed at the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the following 4 former municipalities, that became municipal units:
 * Enippeas
 * Farsala
 * Narthaki
 * Polydamantas

Province
The province of Farsala (Επαρχία Φαρσάλων) was one of the provinces of the Larissa Prefecture. It had the same territory as the present municipality. It was abolished in 2006.

Bannatyne Club

The Bannatyne Club, named in honour of George Bannatyne and his famous anthology of Scots literature the Bannatyne Manuscript, was a text publication society founded by Sir Walter Scott to print rare works of Scottish interest, whether in history, poetry, or general literature.

Like many Gentlemen's club's of the 18th and 19th centuries, the Bannatyne Club allowed members engage in homosocial relations. For its members, the club served to emphasize Scotland's distinct identity by publishing literary and historical texts.

List of humor magazines

A humor magazine is a magazine specifically designed to deliver humorous content to its readership. These publications often offer satire and parody, but some also put an emphasis on cartoons, caricature, absurdity, one-liners, witty aphorisms, surrealism, neuroticism, gelotology, emotion-regulating humor, and/or humorous essays. Humor magazines first became popular in the early 19th century with specimens like Le Charivari (1832–1937) in France, Punch (1841–2002) in the United Kingdom and Vanity Fair (1859–1863) in the United States.

Kitay-gorod

Kitay-gorod (Китай-город), also referred to as the Great Possad (Великий Посад) in the 16th and 17th centuries, is a cultural and historical area within the central part of Moscow in Russia, defined by the remnants of now almost entirely razed fortifications, narrow streets and very densely built cityscape. It is separated from the Kremlin by the Red Square. Kitay-gorod does not constitute a district (raion), as there are no resident voters, thus, municipal elections are not possible. Rather, the territory has been part of Tverskoy District, and the Central Administrative Okrug authorities have managed the area directly since 2003.

Destruction during the Soviet era
All 10 chapels, 7 out of 18 parish churches, the Cathedral of the Nikolo-Greek Monastery, and two monastery bell towers were demolished in Kitay-gorod in the 1920s and 1930s by the Soviet government. After the destruction of the ancient wall with fortress towers, Kitay-gorod lost its borders and outlines. And in the mid-30s, with the renaming of the main streets after communist revolutionaries and politicians, the ancient toponymy of Kitay-gorod was also destroyed. The last pre-war victim of Kitay-gorod was the Kazan Cathedral, demolished in 1936, which stood on the corner of Nikolskaya Street and the Red Square.

Starting from 1990, the original names of the streets were restored, but most of the cultural heritage cannot be rebuilt.

Etymology
Beside Kitay-gorod in Grand Duchy of Moscow in ancient Russia. Older sources said that people with darker skin than other ethnic groups of Russia sold goods and traded with other peoples in the area of the Kitay sea.

Kita (pl. kity) is a somewhat obsolete word for "plait" or "an item made by braiding". A 17th-century Russian source states "У шапок янычары имели киты" ("U shapok yanychary imeli kity"), meaning "The Janissaries had braids hanging from their caps". In his 1967 book Rise of Russia, author Robert Wallace asserts that the term might mean a rough-hewn defensive bulwark made from woven wicker baskets filled with earth or rock – and thus Kitay-gorod means "Basket city". Kitay could also be derived from an old word for the wooden stakes used in construction of the quarter's walls. Gorod is simply the Russian word for "city", derived from the ancient gord.

Kitay (Russian: Китай) is also the modern Russian name for China, and cognates with the historic Khitan people of northeastern China. Kitay cognates with the English Cathay.

Walls

The walls were erected from 1536 to 1539 by an Italian architect known under the Russified name Petrok Maly and originally featured 13 towers and six gates. All of the towers were demolished in the 1930s by the Soviet regime as part of Stalin's grand reconstruction of Moscow, with only small portions of the wall surviving that period. City officials plan to close Kitay-gorod to automobile traffic. Since 1995 the wall has been partially rebuilt, and a new tower has been added.

Squares
Apart from the Red Square, the quarter is bordered by the chain of Central Squares of Moscow, notably "Theater Square" (named for its eponymous location in front of the Bolshoi Theatre), Lubyanka Square (in front of the KGB headquarters), and Slavyanskaya Square.

Architecture

Kitay-gorod, developing as a trading area, was known as a business area of Moscow. Its three main streets—Varvarka, Ilyinka, and Nikolskaya—are lined with banks, shops, and storehouses like the historicistic shopping mall GUM which confines Kitay-gorod towards Red Square.

St. Nicholas Church on the Ilyinka (1680–89), informally known as the Great Cross, was a landmark in Kitay-gorod but was destroyed in 1933 on Stalin's orders. This district also features the Church of Cosmas and Damian and the Trinity Church of Nikitniki, which today is nestled among city buildings. It was built in the 1630s on the land of Moscow merchant, Grigory Nikitnikov.

Nikolskaya Street is the site of Moscow's first university, the Slavic Greek Latin Academy, housed in extant Zaikonospassky monastery (1660s). Another monastery cathedral, the main church of Epiphany Monastery (1690s), stands in the middle of Kitay-gorod in the eponymous Bogoyavlensky Lane.

In the 19th century, Red Square was lined by a neoclassical domed structure of Upper Trade Rows by Joseph Bove. In the 1890s it replaced with the new Upper Trading Rows (by Alexander Pomerantsev and Vladimir Shukhov) and the similar Middle Trading Rows (by Roman Klein). The rest of Kitay-gorod was densely filled with offices, warehouses and hotels, to the point where real estate developers had to build streets, not buildings—like the Tretyakovsky Proyezd project by Pavel Tretyakov and Alexander Kaminsky.

Also in the 1890s, developers consolidated large land lots on the perimeter of Kitay-gorod. Savva Mamontov launched a civic center, built around an opera hall, which was completed as the Metropol Hotel in 1907, the largest early Art Nouveau building in Moscow, containing artwork by Mikhail Vrubel, Alexander Golovin and Nikolai Andreev. The eastern segment (Staraya Square) was rebuilt by the Moscow Merchant Society, with the late Art Nouveau Boyarsky Dvor offices (by Fyodor Schechtel) and the neoclassical 4, Staraya Square (by Vladimir Sherwood, Jr., 1912–1914) which housed the Central Committee of the Communist Party after the Bolshevik Revolution.

The present-day offices and clock tower of Constitutional Court of Russia were financed by the Northern Insurance Society (1910–1912) and built by Ivan Rerberg, Marian Peretiatkovich and Vyacheslav Oltarzhevsky.

Zaryadye

A whole quarter of Kitay-gorod adjacent to the Moskva River and known as Zaryadye was demolished in three rounds (1930s, late 1940s, 1960s) by the Soviet regime, sparing only those structures that were deemed "historic monuments" by Joseph Stalin. These include the Cathedral of the Sign (1679–84), the Church of All Saints (1680s), St. George's Church on Pskov Hill (1657), St. Maksim's Church (1698), St. Anna's Church at the Corner (1510s), St. Barbara's Church (1796–1804), the Old English Embassy (1550s), and the 16th century Romanov boyar residence. The district's main structure, Rossiya Hotel (built in 1967), was dismantled in 2007 to make space for the new Zaryadye Park which was opened in 2017.

Ohio State Route 698

Ohio State Route 698 (OH 698) is a north–south state route in northwestern Ohio. Its southern terminus is at OH 103 near Jenera, and its northern terminus is at Hancock County Road 313 (formerly US 25), which is parallel to I-75, about 5 mi southwest of Findlay.

Route description
OH 698 begins in a fairly rural setting at OH 103 in Van Buren Township. Just 0.25 mi north of that intersection, though, OH 698 enters into Jenera. OH 698 follows Main Street through the village, passing by a few side streets on the way through. Heading north out of Jenera, OH 698 enters into a rural area primarily consisting of farmland, with an occasional house popping up along the way. OH 698 passes by Hancock County Road 24, and enters into Eagle Township.

Into Eagle Township, OH 698 has intersections with Township Road 34, Township Road 25, County Road 26 and County Road 37, all the while seeing little change in the landscape, and following a very straight path. OH 698 experiences some slight curvature north of County Road 37, but resumes a straight, northerly trek as it passes by Township Road 43 and Township Road 44. Further north, OH 698 arrives at its southern intersection with Township Road 48, crosses over I-75 without fanfare, then crosses its northern intersection with Township Road 48. OH 698 comes to an end as it arrives at County Road 313, which at one time was the routing of US 25.

History

OH 698 made its debut in 1937, running between US 30 (currently Old US 30) four miles west of Williamstown and US 25 (currently Hancock County Road 313) five miles southwest of Findlay.

No significant changes took place in the routing of OH 698 for about 70 years. In 2007, however, in conjunction with the opening of the new four-lane expressway alignment of US 30 through Hancock and Wyandot Counties, the southern end of OH 698 was truncated to its intersection with OH 103 just south of Jenera.

SUNY Downstate Medical Center

SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University is a public medical school and hospital in Brooklyn, New York. It is the southernmost member of the State University of New York (SUNY) system and the only academic medical center for health education, research, and patient care serving Brooklyn's 2.5 million residents. It is the only state-run hospital in New York City. As of Fall 2018, it had a total student body of 1,846 and approximately 8,000 faculty and staff.

Downstate Health Sciences University comprises a College of Medicine, Colleges of Nursing, School of Graduate Studies, School of Health Professions, and School of Public Health, and University Hospital of Brooklyn. It also includes a major research complex and biotechnology facilities.

SUNY Downstate ranks eighth nationally in the number of alumni who are on the faculty of American medical schools. More physicians practicing in New York City graduated from Downstate than from any other medical school. With 1,040 residents (young physicians in training), Downstate's residency program is the 16th largest in the country.

SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University is the fourth largest employer in Brooklyn. Eighty-six percent of its employees are New York City residents; 68 percent live in Brooklyn. The medical center's total direct, indirect, and induced economic impact on New York State is in excess of $2 billion. SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University attracted close to $100 million in external research funding in 2011, which includes $26 million from federal sources. It ranks fourth among SUNY campuses in grant expenditures, and second among SUNY's academic health centers.

History
In 2010 SUNY Downstate celebrated its sesquicentennial, commemorating the year that the Long Island College Hospital (as it was then known) first opened its doors to students. Yet Downstate traces its roots back even further (to 1856) when a small group of physicians set up a free dispensary in Brooklyn to care for poor immigrants.

Known as the German General Dispensary, its original aim was to care for indigent Germans living in Brooklyn, but changing demographics soon required it to broaden its outreach. In 1857 it was reorganized as a charitable institution and renamed The St. John's Hospital—the first of many name changes.

Officially chartered by the state in 1858 as the Long Island College Hospital of the City of Brooklyn, it was authorized to operate a hospital and confer medical degrees on candidates who attended two lecture courses and completed a three-year preceptorship under a practicing physician. The notion that care at the hospital bedside should be included as an essential part of medical training was revolutionary for its time, but other medical schools soon adopted the approach and it came to be regarded as essential pedagogy.

In 1860 the school officially opened its doors to 57 (male) students. It was one of only 11 medical schools to admit African American students. The first faculty included many distinguished physicians, such as Dr. Austin Flint Sr., remembered for his role in introducing the stethoscope into standard medical practice in this country. Dr. Flint delivered the commencement address on July 24, 1860, when the school graduated its first new doctors.

In the following decades The Long Island College Hospital greatly expanded both its facilities and medical school curriculum. By the time of the First World War, admission was opened to women and postgraduate training had been introduced. In 1930 the college and hospital were separated from one another so that each would be under its own governing board. The following year, the school was rechartered as the Long Island College of Medicine.

In 1945, the college purchased a large tract of land that would become the site of the future Downstate Medical Center. The “Downstate” era began on April 5, 1950, with the signing of a merger contract between the State University of New York (SUNY) and the Long Island College of Medicine. The medical center came to be known as Downstate to distinguish it from the SUNY medical center in Syracuse, New York, which is known as “Upstate”. Several years later the current campus was built in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn.

In 1954 President Dwight D. Eisenhower laid the cornerstone for the Basic Sciences Building. In the following years, the complex grew rapidly, with the addition of a student center and residence halls, as well as a nurses' residence. In 1966 Governor Nelson Rockefeller officiated at the dedication of University Hospital of Brooklyn (UHB), Downstate's own teaching hospital. The School of Graduate Studies, the College of Health Related Professions, and the College of Nursing were established that same year. In 1987 Governor Mario Cuomo and Mayor Edward Koch helped break ground for the new Health Science Education Building, where most student classes now take place.

In early 2024, the hospital faced closure due to financial concerns, which would have negatively impacted the borough's BIPOC communities and faced significant delays in accessing healthcare. In April, it was reported spared from closure until 2025.

Academics
SUNY Downstate offers students a broad professional education that prepares them for practice or careers in any location and community. The vast majority of students are drawn from the New York City metropolitan area. Many have immigrant backgrounds and are members of racial and cultural groups who are underrepresented in the health professions. The differences in background and outlook enhance the quality of the educational experience of all students.

Downstate's Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, and Health Related Professions and its School of Graduate Studies and School of Public Health collectively offer more than 30 health-focused programs.

College of Medicine
The College of Medicine, which grants the MD degree, is the 32nd oldest college of medicine in the country. With approximately 800 enrollees, it is one of the largest colleges of medicine in New York State. It ranks eighth out of 140 accredited medical schools in the nation in the number of alumni who hold faculty positions at U.S. medical schools. More physicians practicing in New York City graduated from Downstate's College of Medicine than from any other medical school.

In addition to granting the MD degree, the college sponsors a combined MD/PhD degree with the School of Graduate Studies.

School of Graduate Studies
Of the School of Graduate Studies' three multidisciplinary core programs, Neural and Behavioral Science is the oldest. Faculty research in the neurosciences is especially deep, ranging from the molecular to the behavioral. The Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology has concentrations in cardiovascular, fundamental cellular and molecular biology, cancer biology, and more. The Program in Biomedical Engineering, run jointly with the Polytechnic Institute of NYU, features concentrations in neurorobotics, imaging, and materials.

The School of Graduate Studies has also partnered with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CSNE) of the University at Albany to offer a combined MD/PhD degree program in nanoscale medicine. This clinical scientist education program provides hands-on training in the development and application of nanotechnology to advance health care. MD training at Downstate is coupled with PhD training in either nanoscale science or nanoscale engineering.

School of Public Health
The first new school established at SUNY Downstate since 1966, the School of Public Health was launched in 2001 as an MPH degree program within the Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health in the College of Medicine. In 2008 it declared school status and was fully accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health in 2010. It currently offers five master's and three doctoral programs, as well as combined degree programs.

College of Health Professions
An upper-division undergraduate and graduate school, the College of Health Professions has graduated close to 4,000 allied health professionals since its establishment in 1966. Approximately 80 percent of students have four-year college degrees in other fields upon enrollment. Its direct-entry midwifery program was the first of its kind in the nation.

College of Nursing
The College of Nursing offers an undergraduate, upper-division RN-to-BS degree program for students who are already licensed as professional nurses and an Accelerated BS program for students who hold a degree in another field and seek basic preparation for beginning nursing practice. The college is one of only four nursing schools in New York State to offer master's degree programs in all advanced nursing practice roles.

University Hospital of Brooklyn
University Hospital of Brooklyn (UHB) offers comprehensive, advanced medical care throughout Brooklyn. It includes a full-service, comprehensive hospital site (UHB at Central Brooklyn). It also previously owned a free-standing Urgent Care and Ambulatory Surgery Center in Bay Ridge, which has since been sold to nearby Maimonides Medical Center. There are also nine ambulatory satellite sites. UHB is licensed for 882 beds and annually provides care to over 300,000 patients. UHB is an 8-story facility with 8 intensive care and step-down units, 12 operating rooms, an adult and pediatric ER, diagnostic and ambulatory surgery facility, and 75 outpatient clinics. The flagship location for UHB, Central Brooklyn includes three community-based health centers in the neighborhoods of East New York, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Midwood, plus a freestanding Dialysis Center.

HEAT (Health and Education Alternatives for Teens) Program
HEAT is a program established and directed by Dr. Jeffrey Birnbaum which offers culturally competent care for youth who are living at high risk of developing HIV/AIDS. HEAT has a special focus on care for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth but does not limit its services to these populations. The program offers comprehensive clinical services for HIV/AIDS patients as well as sexual health and transgender care services.

HEAT is actively involved in community outreach and Dr. Birnbaum has received various awards for his efforts in combating HIV/AIDS

Brooklyn Free Clinic
The Brooklyn Free Clinic (BFC) is a student-run free clinic operated primarily by the students of the College of Medicine. The BFC offers medical and psychiatric care and health maintenance screening to the uninsured populations of Brooklyn.

The clinic hosts an annual conference on health seen through the eyes of medicine, art, technology and community called BFC What's Next. The clinic has won multiple awards for its advertisement campaigns including a gold medal in conjunction with CDMiConnect at the 2014 MMM Awards for their "We Need U" campaign and a bronze medal at the CLIO Healthcare Awards.

SUNY Downstate at Bay Ridge
SUNY Downstate at Bay Ridge serves the communities of Bay Ridge/Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, and Sunset Park. It features a walk-in Urgent Care Center, Ambulatory Surgery Center, Advanced Endoscopy Center, and Laser Vision Correction Center. It has onsite laboratory and radiology diagnostic facilities and medical offices for doctors in many clinical specialties.

Research
SUNY Downstate is an important research facility where scientists and clinicians explore many urgent health problems. Historically, areas of research strength include cardiovascular biology, neuroscience, and instrumentation. Current strengths include GABAergic inhibition, learning and memory mechanisms; pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cardiomyopathy; robotic prosthetic devices; HIV/AIDS; pain and addiction; optical tomography imaging technology; and fundamental cell biology (mechanisms of transcription and translation).

Downstate's role as the only academic medical center in Brooklyn is central to its powerful role in clinical, translational, and public health research. Downstate's research spans the entire “bench to bedside” spectrum as an integrated entity, bringing together basic scientists, clinical researchers, and practitioners with common interests.

Downstate is the fourth highest grant recipient of SUNY's 64 campuses. In FY 2011, sponsored research programs, including those funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), DARPA, and private foundations, totaled over $60 million. Downstate is the only healthcare facility in Brooklyn that holds the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology.

Controversies
In 2013, SUNY Downstate released a court ordered financial audit which found the institution in need of capital funds citing large losses from 2007 through 2011. The audit cited bloated salaries for top administrators, underuse and poor financial decisions contributed to the losses.

In January 2020, two SUNY Downstate surgeons filed lawsuits accusing the medical center of retaliation against them for reporting patient safety and death concerns in the heart-surgery and organ-transplant programs. Prior to the complaint, the institution paused these two programs in July 2019 due to pressure from the New York State Department of Health and the United Network for Organ Sharing when reviewers found issues in the programs and recommended a more extensive review in hopes to remediate the problems.

Notable faculty

 * Alexander Skene, MD - authority on women's diseases; discovered the paraurethral glands known as Skene's gland or Skene's ducts (1880).
 * Robert L. Dickinson, MD - published first “modern” pamphlet on voluntary birth control (1931).

The Warning (Queensrÿche album)

The Warning is the first studio album by American heavy metal band Queensrÿche, released on September 7, 1984, and reissued on May 6, 2003, with three bonus tracks.

In 2019, Metal Hammer ranked it as the 13th best power metal album of all time.

Background
Queensrÿche wrote the material for The Warning during their tour in support of the Queensrÿche EP, inspired by world events and the 1949 George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The album was recorded in various recording studios in London with Pink Floyd-producer James Guthrie.

In 2013, lead singer Geoff Tate explained the band's dissatisfaction with the album's mix: "The only time I ever experienced [a record label restricting creative freedom] was during the recording of Queensrÿche's first album, The Warning. We went $300,000 over budget and the label took the record out of our hands and gave it to someone else to mix. ... The guy that mixed the album had no clue what Queensrÿche was. He never listened to hard rock music and didn't take input from anyone in the band. He just mixed it according to how he thought it should sound. No-one in the band could listen to that record. We all hated it."

The Warning shows the band in an early stage of development, playing straight heavy metal songs unlike later albums in which more experimentation was expressed. It was a moderate commercial success in the United States, although none of the singles charted domestically. However, "Take Hold of the Flame" was an international hit, particularly in Japan.

In support of the release, Queensrÿche went on a worldwide tour from August 1984 through to July 1985. During the American leg of their tour, they were the opening act for Kiss on their 1984–85 Animalize Tour and Iron Maiden on their 1984–85 World Slavery Tour, while in Europe they opened for Dio on their The Last in Line tour 1984. They also opened for Accept on their Metal Heart tour in 1985.

Track listing
The album's original track sequence and sound mix that the band had approved, was changed by mix engineer Val Garay under orders from EMI-America, against the wishes of the band. This original intended sequence is identical to the final track listing but with the following exceptions: "N M 156" as the opening song, "Warning" as the second to last track, and "Deliverance" and "No Sanctuary" appearing in the opposite order. The band first learned of this in August 1984, while on tour in Japan.

Original track listing (unreleased)
 * 1) N M 156
 * 2) En Force
 * 3) No Sanctuary
 * 4) Deliverance
 * 5) Take Hold of the Flame
 * 6) Before the Storm
 * 7) Child of Fire
 * 8) Warning
 * 9) Roads to Madness

Queensrÿche

 * Geoff Tate – lead vocals
 * Chris DeGarmo – guitar (lead guitar on "Take Hold of the Flame"), background vocals
 * Michael Wilton – guitar (lead guitar on "Warning"), background vocals
 * Eddie Jackson – bass, background vocals
 * Scott Rockenfield – drums

Additional musicians

 * Michael Kamen – conducting, orchestral arrangement

Production

 * James Guthrie – production
 * Val Garay – mixing
 * Neil Kernon – engineering, mixing ("The Prophecy"), production
 * Evren Göknar – 2003 remastering

Sleeve of Cut the Crap by The Clash

Fair use rationale for Cut the Crap

 * 1) The image is at reduced resolution and is of the front of the album cover which is discussed in the article.
 * 2) It does not reduce the copyright holder's ability to market the product: images of the cover are widely available on the web.
 * 3) The cover is of particular significance to the album (and to the history of music covers) and is critically discussed in the article with reference to the image.
 * 4) Since the cover is copyrighted, there is no free content replacement.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Stephan Kinsella 2

My page was not put up as any retaliation. Rather, having seen the delete debates for the Tom G. Palmer article, I looked into exactly what the biography criteria where, at which time I realized that my earlier bio entry should never have been deleted.

Several months ago someone put up my bio entry (I cannot remember who, but I did not know him or have anything to do with it). My page was put up for VfD, and User:Willmcv, among others, voted to delete it, for vanity, and non-notable. It was not vanity, as I did not publish it.

Now, I have since learned several things. First, The Criteria for inclusion of biographies states who is "notable" enough for a wiki biography entry. Given the critieria, it is clear my entry should not have been previously deleted. Note, e.g., it says: "Biographies on the following people may be included in Wikipedia . ...   Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more.    "Well. I don't need to list my legal and libertarian publications yet again, but I have easily exceeded these, many times. A glance at these sites will make this clear.

Moreover, there are "Alternate tests" listed that would suffice: Other tests for inclusion that have been proposed include:  The professor test -- If the individual is more well known and more published than an average college professor, they can and should be included. Verifiability -- Can all information in the article be independently verified now? (some say) 10 years from now?Google Test -- Does the subject get lots of hits on Google or another well known search mechanism? Oh, easy. Google turns up hundreds of entries (actually, 19,900, at last count). The info can easily be verified. I'm more well known and more published than the average college provessor, so my entry "can and should be included."

In addition, in 2002 I ran, unsuccessfully, on the Libertarian Party ticket for Judge, Texas Court of Criminal Appeal (the highest Texas state court for the appeal of criminal matters), receiving over 70,000 votes.

Also--note, I and one of my IP publications is mentioned in the Wiki Intellectual Property entry; and in the Wiki Libertarian_theories_of_law entry.

True, the rules on Autobiography autobiographies is that they are discouraged; but they are not banned. A couple of comments about this. First, the info I put up is easily verified. Second, an entry was originally put without my involvement; given that I satisfied then as I satisfy now several criteria for "notability," it should never have been deleted. Had I been aware of these clear rules back then, I would have pointed it out, but the deletion of my entry clearly violated the rules listed above.

Finally, the policy ought to discourage anonymously-posted biographies even more than it discourages self-posted (auto)biographies, since someone can post an autobio anonymously, without being honest about it. Tom G. Palmer's entry is not being deleted (yet), even though it was created anonymously, and appears to very likely be an autobio.

All I ask for is that Wiki editors (a) act consistently; and (b) apply the promulgated and established rules. Nskinsella 18:05, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The criteria for deletion aren't accurately described as "the promulgated and established rules". Individual editors can vote on bases that differ from the guidelines.  For example, I personally believe that the criteria concerning scholarly authors are too restrictive.  I believe we should keep an article on anyone who's written a serious nonfiction book.  If I had noticed the original VfD, I would have voted "keep" on that basis.  To be consistent, I must acknowledge that other editors can consider that guideline too permissive, and can vote to delete something based on their own views of notability.

 * Another existing guideline, one I agree with, is that the admin who evaluates a VfD "can disregard votes . . . made using a new userid whose only edits are to the article in question and the voting on that article." Deletion guidelines for administrators Your suggestion on your blog that people "stop by and vote" on the Palmer article serves only to waste your readers' time; it's likely that their votes will be ignored.  The tabulation is done by a human being who has some room to exercise discretion.  That procedure creates its own problems of possible inconsistency and bias, but it does mean that ballot-stuffing efforts (yes, that's what your blog passage is) are relatively ineffective. JamesMLane 15:39, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I should have only asked *experienced* or existing Wiki users to take a look and make up their own minds. --Nskinsella 21:13, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Correct -- except that the term is "Wikipedians". :)  JamesMLane 22:39, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Your reply reminds me--I tried to start an entry for "Wikinerd" today, and for some reason it was deleted inexplicably shortly after I started it. Any idea why? A policy thing? --Nskinsella 03:52, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, you're not allowed to make up words and then write articles about them. -Willmcw 04:07, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * A neologism is only a candidate for VfD not speedy. However, the deletion log cites "redirect to deleted article", if that helps. -Splash 04:13, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * One of the criteria for speedy deletion is "Short articles that serve no purpose but to disparage their subject." Kinsella's intended article seems to have qualified. See also Avoid neologisms. -Willmcw 04:46, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Judgmental language

Judgmental language is a subset of red herring fallacies. It employs insulting, compromising or pejorative language to influence the recipient's judgment.

Examples
Here, the judgmental words are "our very own sons" and "mercenaries", which imply not only professional soldiers but rather soldiers of fortune. This argument is also a false dilemma: nothing implies that coercion and fear of punishment produces better soldiers than voluntarily, and that a professional army could not be assembled from the nation's own citizens.

This argument combines judgmental language with non sequitur and appeal to authority.

Judgmental language is related to use of pejorative language.

Central European International Cup

The European International Cup of Nations was an international football competition held by certain national teams from Central Europe & South Europe between 1927 and 1960. There were competitions for professional and amateur teams. Participating nations were: Italy, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, Poland, Romania, and (in the final competition) Yugoslavia. Poland and Romania only competed in the amateur competition.

Played as a league on a home and away basis, it was contested six times and each single tournament usually took more than two years to complete. The last two tournaments lasted five years. It was discontinued in 1960, when the European Football Championship started. Winners of the competition included the Austrian Wunderteam of the early 1930s, the Italy team that also won two World Cups in the 1930s, the Golden Team of Hungary and the Czechoslovakia team that later finished as World Cup runners up in 1962.

Trophy
The trophy of the early competitions was named Švehla Cup after Antonín Švehla, the prime minister of Czechoslovakia, who donated it. After the Second World War the new trophy was known as the Dr. Gerö Cup in honour of Josef Gerö, a director of the Austrian Football Association and former match referee.

History
The competition was conceived by the Austrian football pioneer Hugo Meisl, regarded by some as one of the fathers of European football. Meisl was also behind the launch of the Mitropa Cup, a knockout competition for club teams from the same countries which also began in 1927. He also managed Austria during the Wunderteam era of the 1930s and led them to victory in the 1931-32 competition.

The first tournament played between 1927 and 1930 had been won by an Italy team inspired by Giuseppe Meazza. Meazza and Italy also won the 1933-35 competition. This time the team was coached by Vittorio Pozzo and either side of winning this competition they also won two World Cups in 1934 and 1938. The fourth tournament which began in 1936 was eventually abandoned due to the Anschluss Crisis and because of the Second World War, while a fifth tournament was not held until 1948. This tournament marked the advent of the Golden Team of Hungary, coached by Gusztáv Sebes and featuring Ferenc Puskás, Zoltán Czibor, Sándor Kocsis, Nándor Hidegkuti, József Bozsik and Gyula Grosics. They claimed the trophy after a 3–0 win over Italy in Rome in 1953.

Most successful players
Winners in 1927–30, 1933–35 and runners-up in 1931–32.
 * Giuseppe Meazza
 * Eraldo Monzeglio
 * Raimundo Orsi
 * Raffaele Costantino
 * Alfredo Pitto
 * Umberto Caligaris
 * Luigi Allemandi
 * Virginio Rosetta
 * Gianpiero Combi

Hat-tricks
Since the first official tournament in 1927–30, 17 hat-tricks have been scored in over 100 matches of the 6 editions of the tournament. The first hat-trick was scored by Gino Rossetti of the Italy, playing against Czechoslovakia on 3 March 1929; and the last was by Lajos Tichy of Hungary, playing against Switzerland on 25 October 1959. The record number of hat-tricks in a single World Cup tournament is five, during the 1931–32. The only player to have scored two hat-tricks is István Avar, both in 1931. György Sárosi holds the record for most goals scored in a single Central European Cup match when he scored 7 for Hungary in an 8–3 win over Austria (6 of which came in the second-half). Hungary holds the record for most hat-tricks scored with 7 (the next closest are Czechoslovakia and Italy with 3). Switzerland holds the record for most hat-tricks conceded with 7 (the next closest is Austria with 4).

Mi Zhu

Mi Zhu (c. 165–221), courtesy name Zizhong, was a Chinese military general and politician who served under the warlord Liu Bei in the late Eastern Han dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms period, after Liu Bei founded the state of Shu Han. He was also Liu Bei's brother-in-law, as his sister, Lady Mi, married Liu Bei. Mi Zhu was essential to Liu Bei during the defeats of the latter, financing Liu Bei's army in critical times where there was no tax base. Mi Zhu was extremely well educated and helped Liu Bei develop relationships with wealthy rivals such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. He was also the elder brother of Mi Fang, who served Liu Bei as well until his defection to Liu Bei's ally-turned-rival Sun Quan in 220. Mi Zhu served Liu Bei loyally for more than 25 years, as a high civil official of Liu during all the later's tenures as governor of Xu, Jing and Yi provinces, the former's ideas were regularly and widely circulated to the common people which greatly helped Liu Bei's political movement as Han loyalist and Confucian but, historians would argue it mere rhetoric as Liu ruled more in the tradition of legalism. Nonetheless, Mi along with Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and later Yi Ji, greatly contributed to the Liu's populist movement to restore the Han dynasty through literature and essays. Mi Zhu was thought to be Liu's best friend and most favored subject, he died of illness a little over a year after Liu Bei declared himself emperor.

Life
Mi Zhu was born in Qu County (朐縣), Donghai Commandery (東海郡), which is present-day Lianyungang, Jiangsu. He was from an extremely rich family who have been merchants for generations. At his time, their number of servants and retainers was around 10 000 with wealth and riches in the hundreds of millions. According to In Search of the Supernatural (搜神記) by Gan Bao (干竇), a work largely consisting of legends and hearsays, Mi Zhu was once returning home from the capital Luoyang when he met a lady by the road. He gave her a lift out of kindness. When she alighted, she revealed that she was an emissary from Heaven on a mission to burn down Mi Zhu's house. However, to repay his kindness, she agreed to walk slowly so as to allow Mi Zhu the time to evacuate the house. A huge fire indeed broke out at noon as the lady promised.

Legends aside, Mi Zhu initially served under Tao Qian, the governor of Xu Province (present-day northern Jiangsu) as Bieja (別駕; important assistant to the governor of the province). Upon his death, Tao Qian told to Mi Zhu that he believed Liu Bei to be the only person able to bring peace back to the province of Xu therefore passed on the governorship to him over his sons with Mi Zhu leading the local families to his meeting at Xiaopei, Mi Zhu thereafter rendered his service to Liu Bei. In 196, while Liu Bei was leading an army to resist Yuan Shu's advance, Lü Bu betrayed him and seized control of Xiapi, the capital of Xu Province, seizeing Liu Bei's family, wife and children. He also proclaimed himself the governor. Henceforth, Liu Bei was forced into exile, forming a series of temporary alliances with different warlords, including Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. Throughout this trough in Liu Bei's career, however, Mi Zhu stayed loyal.

Previously, when Liu Bei learned of Lu Bu's betrayal, he tried to lead his army back to Xiapi however with their home base cut off, the majority of his soldiers deserted along the way therefore he led the remnants of his army to Guangling. Furthermore, surrounded by the forces of both Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in now hostile territory. There were reported acts of cannibalism among Liu Bei's troops. To restore some stability among the army, Mi Zhu sponsored Liu Bei with his all of his family wealth recruiting among his personal retinue of servants while using his wealth and riches to pay the stipend of the soldiers. He also married his younger sister to the latter. Cao Cao had once attempted to entice Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to serve him by offering them governorships of Ying Commandery (northwest of present-day Laiwu, Shandong) and Pengcheng Commandery respectively but was turned down, and the brothers fled with Liu Bei.

The Gao Cong Ji recorded one of Cao Cao's memorial concerning Mi Zhu: “The Commandery of Taishan has wide and far borders which makes it hard to control. Moreover, it is since long infected by many bandits and brigands. Looking at the situation, it should be divided into five counties as Ying Commandery and have one known to be pure and incorruptible to defend and adjure it. The Lieutenant-General (偏將軍), Mi Zhu is naturally faithful and loyal and is reliable to command military and civil affairs; Hence I request to have him take office as Administrator of Yíng Commandery (嬴郡太守), to comfort the officials and people.”

When Liu Bei sought refuge with Liu Biao, he sent Mi Zhu first to meet and discuss with him. And for his effort in soothing the relation between them was appointed in his office as Assistant Officer of the Household (從事中郎). After Liu Bei conquered Yi Province (covering present-day Sichuan and Chongqing) in 214, Mi Zhu was promoted to General Who Pacifies Han (安漢將軍). Although Mi Zhu was known for his kindness and his grace; he was not given any troops to command, as military manoeuver were not his expertise, he was nonetheless the most highly esteemed among Liu Bei's subjects. He was viewed as a role model official for the state of Shu and many young civil officials looked up to him as they did to Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Dong He and Xu Jing.

In 219, Mi Fang defected to Sun Quan when Sun's general Lü Meng launched a surprise attack on Jing Province (covering present-day Hubei and Hunan), which resulted in the death of Guan Yu. When he heard of this, Mi Zhu bound himself and came to Liu Bei, pleading guilty for his brother's crime. Liu Bei consoled him, further told him that the fault of a brother shouldn't reach another and treated him the same as before however Mi Zhu was so ashamed that he soon fell sick and died slightly more than a year later.

Family
Aside from his younger brother and sister, Mi Zhu had a son Mi Wei (麋威), who reached the rank of General of the Household Rapid as Tigers (虎賁中郎將). While Mi Wei's son Mi Zhao (麋照), served as Custodian of Tiger Cavalry (虎騎監). From Mi Zhu to Mi Zhao, they were all talented for archery and riding. Mastering mounted archery.

Appraisal
Chen Shou, who wrote Mi Zhu's biography, commented as follows: "Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and Yi Ji were refined and cultured persons whose ideas were widely circulated. They were well known for their good observation of the proprieties."

Brutalism
Thank you for putting the dates into the captions. Not so messy-looking after all, and they help establish the time-frame. Wetman 20:04, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Spelling
See "Usage and spelling" in the MoS. The general rule, in articles not concerning any particular country, is "both versions are acceptable, but don't change from one to the other for no good reason". I have absolutely no problem with US spellings, but I do have a problem with people who have nothing better to do than "correct" all other spellings to them (like the anon did in that article). Hope this clears things up. Proteus (Talk) 17:37, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Reason magazine

 * Was it considered "libertarian" back then? I've personally only become aware of the term Libertarian since the mid 90s. Reason is certainly referred to as "libertarian" now, but how long has it worn that term?

Of course is was!! In the '70s, Reason was the Libertarian magazine, often mistakenly thought to be published by the Libertarian Party. Michael Hardy 20:03, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hello and salutations
Hey there. Seen you've been active working on cases at the AMA, and I just wanted to extend an offer for any help I can give regarding them; I've been absent for some time and want to finally get down to doing the advocate thing. If there's any cases I can help with in any way, don't hesitate to let me know. Wally 05:12, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * As for the lug (anon) v. Franc2000 matter, I trawled through Franc's user page and couldn't even find the one comment. Not knowing what else lugnut said, and given that he himself cannot remember any incidents, the only recommendation I would make is that he register his nick, continue editing, and return if the vandalism accusations ever recur - however, given that we can find neither incidences of posting or of concomitant disputes with other posters, there's precious little to do here.

 * Where the arbitration case is concerned, that's a bit more of a conundrum. You've offered your services and they've been accepted, but this person has stated that he himself wants nothing to do with the case?  (This is how I read it, anyway - if you meant that he wanted you to have nothing to do with it, that's a different fox hunt altogether).  Speaking generally, I would say that your role should be passive assuming a) the case is not exceptionally difficult, or the user exceptionally new and b) the case is not now nor is it becoming an absolute disaster (i.e. the user is scaring up a permban partly through lack of successful defense).  If not all those criteria are met, however, you have an obligation in that user's interest to do pursue to the uttermost every means available to you on his behalf, until the case is concluded or he dismisses you.  If you'd like I'd be exceedingly happy to look at the specific case and offer an opinion - at the very least, as it seems the user is to take no steps in his own defense you have prima facie grounds to pursue it as you best can.

 * On the latter especially, please consider me at your disposal for any meager assistance I might give. Wally 03:09, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Then, regarding the anon, all I can say is that he might as well register and then see from there. There's not a ton you can do for him without him registering, and his reply probably did little to help matters.

 * Regarding the arbitration case I would argue that you have an even more pronounced obligation to help defend him, especially given that whether or not justice is being done is under question. If he's being railroaded, an advocate is exactly the person who is in a position (and who has the authority) to object about such behavior. Wally 23:42, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hey again - how're things? I actually have something of a favor to ask. I took the Ray Foster case re. deaf, and we're proceeding to mediation. The other person involved, name of Dcreemer, has asked for an advocate of his own. The dispute's about the article, not the people, and mediation should be able to rapidly clear up the problems, as the dispute is not very hairy. Nonetheless, if you're not too occupied and could see your way to representing Dcreemer, I'd appreciate it. Wally 03:10, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Call for AMA election
AMA Member Advocate,

There's a poll currently in the AMA Homepage about making a new AMA Coordinator election. Please, cast your vote there (though it's not mandatory). Any comments you have about this, write it on the AMA Homepage talk page. Cheers, --Neigel von Teighen 18:43, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

AMA Membership Meeting
As AMA Coordinator I am requesting that suggestions be placed on AMA Membership Meeting plans for our first membership meeting, to be held in the near future, (hopefully before any election occurs.) Since we have never had any kind of "official" meeting we need to discuss how this will occur (i.e. Wiki pages or IRC channel), how it will be structured (i.e. meeting agenda) and if there will be any "chair" to supervise the meeting and meeting "secretary" to write up minutes or keep some kind of official record of what transpires. Thanks in advance for your input and your continued work as an advocate. — ©   Alex756   19:46, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Clarification and Conclusion to Deaf Mediation
I have received and acknowledged Ray Foster's request to end mediation and stand down as advocate.

I apologize at not being able, until now, to more fully report to you the facts of the dispute as I saw them when I requested mediation. It appears that a number of issues which were not known to me had sufficient pertinence to end any mediation proceedings (which were not occuring anyway).

I requested mediation because RfC had not met with any positive response (only a single user replied, who didn't think it merited an RfC), and there were insufficient users present to make a quickpoll effective in the dispute. Additionally, not only was Ray Foster deaf, but Dcreemer has a deaf child, and as you no doubt now know by reading the talk page, their discussions became heated to the point where language bordering on the insulting was used, at which point Dcreemr seemed to absent himself. Not only that, but the dispute on the page itself was sufficiently technical that I felt it would be better to have a single designated mediator look at it rather than people wandering in to reply to an RfC. It was given all this that I felt mediation would be the most effective course, and in which mind I advised Ray to allow me to pursue it.

In the intervening period, Ray posted an apology to Dcreemr for any poor conduct or insulting behavior on his part. This was the main concern sending me to mediation, and in which I had the natural idea, expressed to both Ray Foster and Dcreemr, of working out a compromise to the article in the process of ending their more personal dispute (to my mind, mediation is a process designed to rectify issues regarding users through [where applicable] effecting a compromise on the pages in question). This issue now gone, the dispute may be concluded by simple user discussion, and had I been aware that such had occured I would have recommended a withdrawal of the mediation request, which given this new information I support in full.

I would also like to clarify that I neither instructed nor empowered Ray Foster to revert any changes to the deaf article. I advised him to "please refrain from editing or commenting on the page and encourage others to do so." He apparently misconstrued this to mean ensuring other users did not tamper with the article until the issue was concluded. My idea was merely that Ray not edit — which might cause further controversy — and that other users be requested not to either, as that could also have negative rammifications. I also wanted to provide some sort of mechanism by which the page would not be drastically changed while Ray was in a place from which it would be inappropriate to make edits. I had noticed his request on the talk page for users not to edit the article pending mediation, and did assume that he was doing what I had advised. Had I known that he was reverting other, innocuous changes, I would have immediately clarified the issue and undid the reversion. As it stands I have explained this misunderstanding to Ray Foster, as well as on the requests for mediation page.

Thank you for your help in resolving the issue and noting such developments necessary as to bring this dispute to a close in a more amicable and timely way, as well as doing my the favor of involving yourself whilst you had many other duties to execute. I am glad of the positive outcome, to which your involvement is substantially owed, as well as of the considerable simplification of its conclusion by way of facts of which I was unaware. I am additionally pleased at any influence I was able to have in the good and unconfrontational outcome.

Thank you again,

Wally 21:55, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Mediation in Pitts. Trib-Review
In the matter of AMA_Requests_for_Assistance, I think that there is agreement that mediation would be helpful. The Anon requested it and I agree. Is there any chance of mediation happening? It isn't critical, the article is progressing. (Actually I should say "articles". The dispute includes the article on the newpspaper's owner, Richard Mellon Scaife.) Anyway, if a mediator is available, then I think it would help. Cheers, -Willmcw 01:18, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC) (PS, I bring this to you because you visibly active in AMA matters. Let me know if I should communicate elsewise. W. -01:21, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC))

I am sorry not to have responded to you earlier, but frankly trying to research this dispute makes my head spin.

I suppose mediation would be a decent next step. However, your assertion that the user has made legal threats against you and the Wiki itself would almost require Arbitration, to enforce a ban for the duration of potential legal action. I'd almost say the case should be split, with the Pittsburgh issue going to Mediation and the legal threat issue going to Arbitration -- except that a successful Arbitration would make the Mediation theoretically irrelevant. But maybe we could ignore the legal threat issue for the time being. If we can reliably contact the anon, we can at least alert him to the fact that making legal threats is a bannable offense.

Another next step here might be to attempt Negotiation, which is something I'm trying to push and to my knowledge has not been done in a formal capacity. This would be like Mediation without a mediator. I think this would help mainly because I personally find attempting to follow things on the PT-R talk page impossible. Another alternative would be informal mediation, a form of mediation which would bypass the RFM process (which has been notoriously lacking) and use a disinterested third party as mediator.

If we can reliably contact the anon, I think either negotiation or informal mediation would be a fair next step. If that rapidly falls apart we can move on.

I could use a few things -- One is a link or links to any legal threats the anon has made. And I could also use an explanation of your view of this dispute(s) between you and the anon re PT-R.

- Keith D. Tyler ¶ [ AMA ] 00:32, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

Kevin, thanks for addressing the request by the anon, user:147.72.93.172/user:147.72.93.199, to which I agree. I do not know the most appropriate way of handling this matter. You may be right that there are two separate issues: general editing behavior and the libel accusations.

I believe that the original request was for an advocate, which indeed may be helpful. Overall, I think that the Anon's poor editing behavior is a minor issue that does not reqire sanctions. However the articles (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Richard Mellon Scaife, and Teresa Heinz Kerry), the editing process, the other editors, and the Anon's contributions would all benefit if there were an experienced editor who could work with him.

The legal threats against Wikipedia have been vague and repeated, most recently on February 8th.(, repeated below) Anon user claimed that a sentence asserting that the P T-R had printed gossip about Theresa Heinz Kerry being a lesbian was a libel on the newspaper. The dispute is shared by user:Gamaliel, and was already in progress when I began participating. Even after the assertion was changed to reflect correctly the gossip that had been printed, and after being warned repeatedly about making legal threats, the Anon continued to refer to legal action against Wikipedia, apparently even claiming to have consulted with "outside help" over libels in the P T-R article. During this time he variously claimed to work for "the competition" and, prior to that, to be "just a reader." In fact, he uses IP addresses that belong to the P T-R and are used by its employees.

The editing issues probably are soluble through regular RfC's, etc. But I don't know how to regard the legal threats against Wikipedia and its editors. Perhaps someone who has dealt with such issues before should review the Anon's statements.

Thanks again for addressing this matter, and also for all of your contributions to Wikipedia. Cheers, -Willmcw 00:14, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * user:147.72.93.172/user:147.72.93.199
 * Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Richard Mellon Scaife, and Teresa Heinz Kerry

 * Wikiquette and other issues
 * Does not use Talk page norms, like signing his posts. (He's finally learned to post on the bottom). This is despite frequent requests from other editors.
 * Does not add summaries to his edits.
 * Does not respond to messages on the user talk pages.
 * Confuses the actions of other editors, in particular user:Gamaliel and myself.
 * Once added a slew of comments into an article, which I transferred to the talk page (a tedious little project).
 * Generally assumes bad faith.
 * Personal claims:
 *  It seems you want to twist reality to make it something else, which is fine. I don't work for the newspaper. I'm just an informed reader.
 * As a Pittsburgh reader who was surprised to see so many oddities appearing about the paper and Scaife, I felt I should edit these entries for fairness.
 * good thing I work for the competition, and not the Tribune-Review. (repeated below)

 * Libel accusations
 * From Talk:Pittsburgh_Tribune-Review
 * Someone continues to post the erroneous, and frankly libelous, conjecture that the newspaper accused the wife of a prominent American polititian of being lesbian. This is in complete violation of Wikipedia policy.
 * This site has been warned several times about the nature of the lie being printed. When it continues to be published it becomes an actionable libel ("intentional lies"), and I believe both the candidate's wife AND the publisher of the newspaper have a good case against the editors and operators of this site.
 * Warning by Gamaliel and me about legal threats.
 * I will continue to explain why printing "intentional lies" is tantamount to libel, in this case against both the politician's wife AND the publisher of the newspaper. I cannot be a plaintiff in this case, so do not consider this a legal threat. Rather, I am trying to explain why, professionally, I easily can say that printing the erroneous and unedited lie that the newspaper accused the wife of a political candidate of being a lesbian is libel. Someone might continue to edit my words, but the facts don't change. Let's hope either the politician's wife or the owner of the newspaper never see that printed.
 * I appealed this issue to the administrators. In no way has the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ever accused the wife of any political candidate of being a lesbian. The charge that is has is libelous. It smears the newspaper, its publisher and the wife of the candidate.
 * ''You are the same person, by the way, you kept insisting that the newspaper called Heinz Kerry a "lesbian." This is libel under Pennsylvania law, but that didn't stop you. In fact, when called about it, you kept printing it! Of course, your libel was OK because you "signed" a "name" to it. Quite frankly, at this point you don't seem to have much credibility. Come to think of it, you haven't told "us anything about the paper" except half truths and outright intentional lies that would be actionable in this jurisdiction (good thing I work for the competition, and not the Tribune-Review. I had no duty to turn you in).
 * And practicing libel is a Wikipedia tactic? Fine. Maybe the internet community should begin to address the inherent problems of Wikipedia, and how uninformed "encyclopedia" pieces that violate libel law are "comprehensive." Saying that a major American newspaper called a candidates wife is libel. It libels her, and it libels the paper. It's a baseless smear that was bandied about on this site for weeks. Rather than be ashamed of such behavior, you argue that, well, it libels no one now, so everything was OK. No, it's not OK.	 I've forwarded this site to several journalism organizations so they can write about libel and lies in the age of cyberspace. Let the students tackle this as a learning experience.
 * Another warning from Gamaliel.
 * Just on a lark, I went over to the Teresa Heinz entry in Wikipedia. Again, the libel that the Tribune-Review called her a "lesbian." Complete lie.
 *  Just as you continued to spread the libel that the newspaper called Heinz Kerry a "lesbian."
 * By the way, Willm, your errors have simply been lack of research and poor sourcing. Galamiel (or whatever his/her name is) have been intentional and verge on tortiary libel. Attempts to mark them as "intentional lies" (a very real concept) have been unsuccessful. I have sought outside help on this when outright libel was presented. It's too bad that this medium is at the mercy of people like that.
 * From talk:Richard Mellon Scaife
 * For some reason, people continue to scribble "facts" about Scaife that are little more than Internet rumors, with what seems to me little basis in fact. A "fact" is raised, only to be somewhat disregarded. Much of it seems libelous, and the sources cited by the authors are less than mainstream publications.

 * See my reply to you on my talk page User talk:Willmcw -Willmcw 01:24, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)

I assume that you've seen the reply at Talk:Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Do you have a sense over how to proceed? Will you respond? I'm foregoing any edits to the article to allow the dialog to progress without distraction. Cheers, -Willmcw 01:42, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

Regarding the edit history of Shawn Mikula, I would recommend asking the Arbitration Committee to issue a temporary injunction to undelete it (in a blanked and protected state) so that you both can view the evidence.

Aw fork
There's a silly debate going on. The state of Massachusetts, commonly known as "Massachusetts," is officially named "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts." Some users are making a big deal about this. One user moved Massachusetts to The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I consider this move vandalism and I think I successfully reverted the move. I left The Commonwealth of Massachusetts in place as a redirect to discourage any attempt to repeat the move. I don't think there's presently a fork, although there may have been one briefly during the time when I was trying to undo the move. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:20, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
