Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Famekeeper

This talk page is for comments about the RfC on Famekeeper that cannot be directly included in any section of the RfC itself.

History and follow-up
Pjacobi finds my action in creating the stub for discussion of the controversies rather strange. Perhaps it was a mistake in a period of Wikistress. My objective had been to give Famekeeper somewhere to put sourced arguments critical of the Church that could be linked by all of the articles. Maybe that was a mistake, but I was tired of trying to get him to say what sections of any article he disputed. Robert McClenon 14:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

McClenon Rfc against Good Faith of Famekeeper
The following is archived from User Talk:Robert McClenon. Robert McClenon 01:21, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

McC, I'm about to post this link in my Rfc, but I thought I'd give you a moments advance warning. As you will see, this is a replacement by my accuser Str1977 , of a post under discussion by me , topical to the article there( Ludwig Kaas ) and to the Centre Party Germany , of which this priest was  chairman and party leader. [] You might have arcane regulation that provides for this Str action, but I saw it then and see it now as irrefutable proof of bad faith. It is in fact blatant censorship, and re-inforced all my suspicions , that str was more than an interested  editor, but was under strict orders to deflect criticism and linkage thru WP to the  Roman Catholic Church. Otherwise, it is simply censorship  by an individual editor , who should have his behavious scrutinised as I always said , at arbitration , prior to the  solution of his un-acceptible and provocative bad faith. You will see that my post was very short, and I would appreciate a full apology from yoy regarding your attacks on my good faith , my length and the ncessity for that length. I imagine ,in good faith, considering what you yourself say about irrefutable proof and bad faith , that this will be easy for you. then, withdraw your name from the Rfc  and , and everywhere necessary , undo the damage which your leaping to conclusions, and your behaviour , has caused. I can always say things in one word, actually , but I won't because throughout my  editing I have made the greatest effort to avoid  un-enforceable  single word epithets. I spread it out like jam, so does Str1977 , as in 'dispicible[sic] gross impiety'. repeat of link 1 =[]  Famekeeper 20:22, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Dear Robert, since you started the RfC on FK I want to draw your attention to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Famekeeper&curid=2300712&diff=20140279&oldid=20023902

Is this proper usage of the RfC "rebuttal" space?

As for FK's accusations above (note that he accuses, not me), have a look at my answer to his allegedly "irrefutable proof" at:

Thanks, Str1977 22:51, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Dear Robert,

I think he's referring to this:

Goodnight

Str1977 00:28, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Dear Robert, it is like this: User:Jimbo Wales is his user page, while Jimmy Wales is a page on the founder of WP. But I also like your distinction paradox. Now, finally, goodnight Str1977 00:56, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Famekeeper And The Question of The Law
The following is archived from User Talk:Robert McClenon. Robert McClenon 01:21, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Dear Robert,

"Famekeeper had previously put together a timeline of events"

Yes, I don't know why but has replaced one timeline with another (at the RfC), though they seem to be the same contentwise. Yes, it's accurate on the whole, though unfortunately with some inappropriate language (Nazi police, Nazi trade) and sometimes takings things out of context (Dilectissima Nobis) without any explanations or qualifications (some Hitler Church quotes). I haven't perused it all (and I won't), but they also seems to be a bit to positive to Ernst Thälmann.

 * Accurate my ...! You through-out rejected it all before 8 April. No quid pro quo ...to Enabling Act.

 * Because there is no quid-pro-quo involving the Enabling Act and the Vatican. At least you have provided zero evidence.

Anyway, yes "It was only a timeline, and so it did not prove causation". But that's unfortunately FK's method. He gather some reports about events, quickly draws his conclusions wihout any checking of possible alternative analysis, and then comes out with what "history says" and "history is against you" and "the historians" (which ones? why these? Why not others?) and - and that's the real kernel of the problem - he claims he hasn't got an interpretation, that he only gives facts.

"Now his argument appears to rely on a meeting between Kaas and Hitler, followed by a meeting between Kaas and Pius XI."

 * It always did, and it was always the issue and to this day you dis-allow it from your edits.

 * Let's have it like this: you do your edits and I do my edits. Str1977 21:50, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree with you on that meeting. I never disputed such meetings, in fact I even expanded some of the things on "Centre Party", mainly the second half of 1932. It's his interpretation (which he calls facts) I have a problem with.

"However, at this point, all that he appers to be doing is taunting me."

Yes, he taunts at a lot.

Str1977 12:49, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

 * You both deserve what you get - my awareness.

 * Stuff an d nonsense from both of you guys . I changed the timeline link because while this argument had been going on so long, the humanit as organisation has changed the way it linked to the information.

 * Listen you guys are a real right dissuasion from the WP . Str is an outright denier. From the start til the end he has denied that Kaas had any negotiations with Adolf Hitler about the concordat bfore P apen was officially  brought in . That is pure nonsense, but it enables him to persist in defensive  for the vatican . His  contributions to the Reichskonkordat , which I did not compose , are clearly aimed at  weakening the historians  linkage of the  Enabling Act with the Concordat . As always there is no inclusion of the facts submitted , originally by Humanitas, and now used through MegaMemex  . At no time has Str allowed entry  to the A pril 2 private Hitler meeting, nor that he is  reported as rushing back from Rome to have this audience with Hitler . I have consistently noted this, consistently quoted for months the  timeline references to Lewy  . All  that follows is abuse of my interpretation.  Hence my indignance and hence the need for my lengthy  appraisals and rebuttals . As I say in the  Rfc, it comes back to this one point. Why ? because the church needs  to be relieved of this scandalous association . If Str were not acting as agent, but acting as a normal editor, he would have accepted the facts rather than making of this a supposedly personal issue . All historians note a connection between Hitler's reference  to the church  on 23 march , the Fulda conference etc  and the subsequent  Concordat .Str wishes it different - why ? I have not misinterpreted K v Klemperer as the quote reveals every time.  I never claimed to have read Lewy , simply the reports for dates .  Mowrer I misinterpreted. Shirer. WBennett ., Toland . I find this offensive  because it is dishonest- the history of our battle proves  everything - it is desperate vatican rear -guard damage limitation. Desist from touching these relevant pages, as I have had to do . I told you McC that it is that which is left out which is most pernicious , more than the massage .  You are wonderful Str , they should give you a medal .Famekeeper 19:30, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

 * To cut a long story short, FK, the timeline does not provide what your claim in the dispute is. It gives event after event after event. It gives the Kaas-Hitler meeting, an inclusion I never opposed, if you want to, you can include it - why don't you include it? Do you oppose yourself? I also included myself that he returned to Germany, while ... - no, I wanted to respond in short manner.

 * No more cutting allowed. Everything is evidence now. You accuse, and I refuse . I leave your biased editing as is, since  your reverting is  spectacular. You try and paint that cuddly Kaas went to Rome fro Eupen-malmedy  and that by chance he met Papen. it would be interesting to know exactly where they met in Munich , how long they met in Munich and why they met in Munich . A far cry though from Eupen-Malmedy , which is more than a priest-bashed issue, anyway.

 * Now you are confused: Kaas' first trip was because of Eupen-Malmedy, not via Eupen-Malmedy. Papen joined him on the second trip.

 * You don't get it Str, we have gone beyond reasonable editing issues here- this is my reputation and your several accusations. I  accuse you of purposeful dishonesty , same as you accuse me . I may be long-winded ,that's another matter . That is my good faith being an optimist.

 * Again, uncivility.

 * You misinterpret Klemperer to mean that Kaas ghostwrited Hitler's speech (and I'm referring to this quote, not any other from the same book) - which is nonsense.

 * I partcularly resent this accusation . "had a hand in " means that agrement of some  input as to what Hitler would say was negotiated by Kaas. This is the same as having written a part  .You actually  continue to exclude such history, despite the quoted source . It is central to the historical accusation , is why you fight this. This is  bad faith , but you appear to be wriggling  now. I 'm not going to let this end with you wriggling.

 * Kaas propably said what he was worried about. Hitler was no fool. He noticed and included it in his speech and in doing so fed to Kaas what he wanted to hear. But that's not ghostwriting.

You overinterpret Mowrer if you deduce from the little he brings your conspiracy theory.

 * You would eradicate him entirely, and I quoted him in good faith all along .. I reject this accusation most forcefully.

 * No, it took me some time to check the book

Toland (I guess this is John K's book) you misinterpreted to confirm your thesis.

 * John Toland Adolf Hitler, quoted now c 2 times  or more.

 * Sorry, you post so much, I can't remember all. Same goes for the next line.

I have no clue what WBennet said.

 * You do because he was quoted at you . This is not my thesis, this is history's thesis /

 * History is not in the business of having theses. She is not even a person, she's reconstructed by human beings. It is your thesis or your literature's thesis (though haven't provided documentation for that)

If you haven't read Lewy, you shouldn't have claimed him as a source. I will not hold you to it, if you stop claiming him.

 * They claimed him on the timeline, in good faith I believe their factual presentation . You had the book , you knew the origin of my claims(if you read the post relevant) I never claimed other-wise, but you spend all your vision re-pairing the hole in the ship  . You have abused my good faith constantly  over this timeline. Do you say you do not agree with their reading as to dates? Why have you never accepted or checked, and still thereforrexclude it from Kaas ? I dealt with this under Pius XII . You are either without memory or dishonest.

 * As far as I can see, the dates are correct. Sometimes they are a bit odd in regard to context, inclusion and exclusion of things (From the timeline I can see how you were misled about Dilectissima Nobis, if the timeline was your only source for this.)

I corrected the Reichskonkordat article because it contained wrong information (which of course you claim to be right). The text was mainly translated from the German WP and the kernel of the German article was mainly copied from the atheist activist organisation IBKA. No wonder it had some flaws (and still has, in a way, in the claim that the "concordat undermined the separation of church and state as instituted in the Weimar constitution and upheld by today's Basic Law. It is in line with what both constitutions state - note the "separation" phrase is included neither in the German nor the US constitution. That the atheists want to a clear separation is obvious, but they are not the authority on the constitution.

 * You wrongly removed their link too . Your church were in it for themselves, prservation of the church above  human beings. not preservation of german catholicvs, preservation of the institution.  I repeat my legal threat to bring a canonical case thru some christian, like you.

 * Your canonical case is ... beyond description. No way to deal with it.

Also, neither I nor Robert (I think) assumed some sinister motives behind the timeline change. I myself have stated that they are the same - though I liked the previous "outfit" better. The new one has so much turning over from page to page.

Str1977 19:53, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Both quick to suggest it might help to hang me.
 * - POST BY FAMEKEEPER WHO DOES NOT CARE TO SIGN HIS POSTS LATELY.

 * I'm speechless except for SIGN YOUR POSTS, MAN !!!!! (see I can produce stupid links too, though not as long ones as you can.
 * Str1977 21:46, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, Robert, for shouting at your talk page. Str1977 21:47, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I have no reason to continue trying to source history if you are forever going to decide what it is . Sources are sources. You produced some and I not only accepted them but used them-against your arguments. You really are bordering on the facile today though- I don't want to argue every point of what you did when, bit I can . The simple point is that you  would not accept either the dates or the sources, sio it is a bit late to now say you did. The proof is in the Kaas article, which is shorn of any such dates and sourced involvement. if I was the church , I'd  be dissatisfied with your blatancy , yopur lack of concentration , your inconsistancy , your tendency to wriggle into false agreement. Perhaps I'm wrong and this is a purely one man crusade and it is apure co-incidence , your arrival at all this . Don't try now and wriggle  into saying my canonical sourcing was either wrong , or not relevant . it is entirely appropriate to the case. the two Popes need to be  taken out from consecration and the scandal needs to be repaired, by the present Pope Benedict XVI . I  suggest , having drawn forth the exactitude of church law, that you yourself  organise the petition, your local priest would be able to forward this on, asking for a resolution of the scandal:by which I mean the declaration  of their automatic excommunication under Latae Sententiae forthwith. Then they can dig them up , and sing whatever dirge appropriate to those who defy the truth of the christian law.

 * I am glad that you suddenly seem to accept everything that you have striven so hard hitherto to deny and see as my personal interpretation. I don't even care about an apology, so long as you will take the absolutely necesary canonical case which , if you like , I'll repeat where you yourself agreed that if it were true, would correctly in this way deal with the  three  transgressors.  Will you behave as the christian you profess to be and demand the return of goodness to this institution of Jesus Christ ? You Str1977 said that if it were true, it were indeed  serious, as in the canonical law we  both related and dealt with.  You cannot have it both ways logicalyy . Now that you finally HAVE TO accept the sources , which is to say the  descriptions of  motivated facts  and connections and  commentators assumptions(not mine), the very  import of  all these sources. Forget the Wpedia- this is  absolutely cardinal history . Reconciliation can only come from truth . You begin to have to accept this   and yet you wish to wriggle by innuendo out of the  conclusions.

 * This is the end Str1977, because once you accept the sources , than you know that in terms of  the canonicals  there is an automatic  imposition of sentence (sententiae latae , McC,) . The digging up is also automatic , they HAVE to be removed . This is the  LAW of the vatican , not mine.

 * Fight more or agree, but at the risk that the more you fight , the worse it will be to have to climbdown . Now I AM finished answering here today .Famekeeper 23:44, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Faith of Robert McClenon
Why exactly did you ask me to paraphrase an answer defining the Papal excommunicants Pope Pius XI and Pope Pius XII within grave sin and mortal sin and then qualify  that  with especially hard further concepts of divided something? You knew I had dealt with the fairly logical canonicals, which spoke for themselves. Just a niggling question. How did you know what to ask for ?Famekeeper 22:04, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Innuendo of User McClenon
You wouldnt know whether there has or has not been any proof of moral complicity  because you  have not read the relevant discourse. If you had you wouldn't ask. I find your attitude one of biased innuendo. You say I cannot understand NPOV but you spend your whole time in this  defending biased  editing. I have not been removing relevant scholars all the way thru. Listen ...you say I am not capable of doing something-only the most difficult thing history can require, then you order me to do it. I hardly think you have ever displayed good faith towards me, and your  back-tracking now is visible. I should like an apology, and I shall consider whether I shall use the WP as organ or not. I think you require this concision because you  wish to avail of the case for defensive purposes. I will wait until this is demanded by some more neutral observers, so why don't you get up a vote : should FK be forced to summarize his own sourced argumentation under insult by McClenon and Str1977, or after an apology  for your inuendo of today ? Or before or after a withdrawal of the unjust Rfc against Famekeeper?

As fas as I can see you are trying either to obtain advance info of the real canonical case- for vatican defensive purpose, or else, you are now blustering to cover your inconsistancy with your Rfc accusations. From it being me 'pushing my POV', it's now FK is a silly man who can't distinguish between POV and NPOV anyway , can't write  ,yet actually now you see him justified and even support  the supposed POV  but yet  he must be asked to summarize that which he has spent months of writing trying in good faith to justify. For whom, you ? I don't see that you are neutral at all, McC. I think it may be best to await the arbitrators, I can get my 500 words together at home, so to say. And you ,vaticanitos, can sweat. PS you will find one article's history of massage/censorship at Pope Pius XII, also beside your anti-FK  innuendo at Ludwig Kaas talk .Famekeeper 18:45, 5 August 2005 (UTC)Famekeeper 17:10, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm getting dead serious, guys. McC- Str is disrupting my accounts here I ask for a signal he will not impede me , he refuses . My signature is note of this . I would like the civilty of active upload  there where I am preparing my POV report on Ludwig Kaas  . Ialso  include the point I  should have made to you in the above . Famekeeper 21:48, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

One might understand why FK is mad at me, since I oppose his conspiracy theory POV edits and his soap boxing, but why he has to beat up on Robert is beyond me. FK claims that my behaviour does not warrant "good faith", but Robert did nothing even remotely reproachable. When he first arrived he even leaned a bit to FK's point (or what he took for it). IMHO this indicates where (or with whom) the problem with "good faith" - "bad faith" lies. Str1977 21:41, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Not at all, this is Str ad hominem . McC attacked me , very many times, went to law in fact to show me up . I ask a question , why no answer ?  I don't take your or his attacks to be valid, and I intend to prove it . He does not have to insult my IQ . I have not insulted his , or yours . I do threaten you with arbitration , user arbitration . Famekeeper 22:03, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

User:Famekeeper Blocked
Arbitrators, this cannot go on. I cannot be blocked from attempting to resolve the issue  and insulted  for not working towards an outside understanding. I consider myself blocked by Str1977  as of this minute at discussion, Ludwig Kaas. I end now, with no way to complete the task concerning my accusations. I protest this minute this block .Famekeeper 22:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

See my reply on Talk:Ludwig Kaas Str1977 22:38, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Arbitration Str1977/Famekeeper
McClenon, I have prepared what you asked for , the 500 word Arbitration Summary. I will not post it to you here but  you can call for arbitration on my behalf. I thankyou in advance (though I still reject your innuendo ). 500 words are a complete round -up(including briefest summary of the  Roman Catholic Christian   Church internal Law-breaking ). Famekeeper 08:38, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

As the substance of the dispute is the historical accusation against the Holy See, I intend to  write the  Arbitration Summary upon the discussion page of Pope Benedict XVI as representing the accused. I will copy it to my own user page  and leave your space here entirely free.

I am asking Wyss to conduct arbitration for me, though I have no idea if he  will do so (given the  work necessary). She/he  may very well wish to stay clear, and I shall bear no grudge-in fact I would prefer him to refuse as I believe him to be a user better employed in  editing than in  this dispute (except that this dispute is so historically  important and requires his reason ). I do so in good faith, because without even particularly  agreeing with me , he seems to exhibit a reasoned observance of the  historical issues , and , importantly ,has been in no way involved ( as far as my memory serves me ) in ever posting on any of the many  different  articles / discussions. Our only point of contact has been very recently on the Weimar Republic  discussion page, and  the Rhenish-Westphalian Industrial Magnates. That is now it for me on your pages McC, though I supect I may yet have to hear from you ,upon mine. Famekeeper 13:12, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

August 10 2005
I have to say that reversion of what I source so clearly three times in 2 days just leaves me completely baffled as to how this WP works. I refer to this action as being being against wikipedianess .I'm trying to be civil for a year now, and for 3/4year I am battling one article - Pope Pius XII. What have you got to do -die? Famekeeper 00:58, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

JWales Final Responsibility re:Auschwitz Testimony Against Pope Pius XII etc
Pasted from JW's message board:

I'm sorry Jimbo, but I see the responsibility  to settle intractable disputes rests with you. I seem to run into intractable dispute on your WP, so I ask you to take responsibility. No one else can take this your place. I refer you to the articles Pope Pius XII and Hitler's Pope as the centre of this dispute and ask you to put yourself into the position of final arbiter now, OK ? I particularly think that the surviving Roman Jewess's words be  taken as an  issue : I wish you therefore to show or not show, that an Auschwitz survivor be  called POV (  rv'd ,Pius in WWar 2). You will see that the difference between  the two articles at this minute  is simple : one (PPII) is the  'censored' or whatever version of the other (H's P).

Having been battling to and beyond the brink for 8 months on the one article , I say that only you can survey this with any authority to do anything about it. Let you be the judge of all the WP requisites, knowing that your judgements  are real , and that ultimately you yourself will equally be judged. Auschwitz survivors are definitely in a minority and this  responsibility  for arbitration I lay at you because you are the organ. I will consider myself in-active until you  please let me know that I am  required. As various users may find this disappearance odd, I post this letter to you for them to see  elsewhere. Famekeeper 09:36, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

McClenon 's reason for the Rfc
This was interjected on the Pope BXVI talk page and is pretty strange. Perhaps when the guy finally understands it's their law, not mine, he might get wise. So far, not being prepared to wade through the relevant "tosh" I write , he didnt understand. Apparently there's no question of any trial, so that is not relevant.

 * I only posted an RfC against Famekeeper after he had repeatedly made the bizarre statement that canon law demand that Pope Pius XI and Pope Pius XII be exhumed so that they could stand trial. He has yet to cite a section that refers to a moral requirement to insult the dead in this fashion.  Robert McClenon 05:58, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

I did, some months ago , McC is a bit blind .Go to Pius XII talk and see 'Canon law' section , and if you want the full treatment go to BXVI talk where I put the full treatment. It's law stuff, and you need to have spectacles on or something. Famekeeper

No, Famekeeper did not cite section that required this. He only provided some faulty reasoning and also operated on the basis of "the accused is presumed guilty". From one of them 22:17, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Ad hominem
Users who act in ad hominem act in ad hominem,  and  that's that. I am cited as a liar because some people cannot see a reference to canonical law where it says three inches(7 cm) above "canonical law". this is tedious, and above you Str. Please desist from ad hominem ,- it does not deflect people from the serious moral consequences still flowing from papal collaboration with anti-communist Nazism. Sorry .Famekeeper 23:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

I can't see where I (or Robert) argued "ad hominem", despite your personal attacks. Str1977 23:51, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

User:Famekeeper and User:Str1977
This user does not run into problems as he is very kindly and clever to all and sundry. I alone certify that this User is a malign and intellectual negative influence on all the pages, to my experience, that he edits. I have caught this user from hos very start trying, and without me, succeeding , in emasculation of true history downwards to sanitised history .This user leaves no room for mental stability to my good faith and his intractability has filled the WIKIPEDIA with endless pleas for intellectual honesty for nigh on a year. This cannot go on , and whilst I actually like this editor, he knows very well that he is stifling me in complete bad faith. Famekeeper 10:01, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Examples of good edits
Could an example or examples of Famekeeper's recent edits to a main namespace article be linked to here? One that was factual, verifiable (or with a citation), well-written, and neutrally worded. In short, something that fits into the Wikipedia and not something that is more appropriate to a blog or discussion board. I have to admit that from looking at his recent User Contributions, I was unable to find one. patsw 02:05, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you for trying to be positive. I have never found that any of his edits were neutral or that they added any content except his anger.  I hope that someone else can find a useful edit that he has made.  Robert McClenon 02:17, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Stuff from my talk page
Here is some stuff that Famekeeper has posted to my talk page. There's plenty more where this came from if you're interested in some perplexing reading, though this is perhaps the most perplexing of the bunch. I offer this not in order to complain nor to make any particular point with respect to the dispute at hand, but rather as background evidence in case someone new to the case is trying to figure out which side of the argument represents the tinfoil hat brigade.--Jimbo Wales 02:30, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Famekeeper Shortest Possible History Summary ,to bring Jimbo up to date

Hi, I was sucked back in for a month, but now my disgust is relieving me ,Jimbo ,of strength to confront more strange behaviour in the usual articles, to do with the papal collaboration  with Hitlerism  during Weimar Germany. So I have by now potted the  facts down to a few lines by way of truth-full  micro-explanation:

 * Illegal the assembly that passed the Enabling Act for Adolf Hitler (constitutional protection of deputies transgressed), Illegal the Government of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party contravention of section 2 of Enabling Act .Illegal the Government of Nazi Germany from 28 Febuary 1933 deputy detentions ( as found by the  Nuremburg Trials, Illegal the Roman Catholic reichskonkordat per the versailles treaty , by internal catholic law Illegal the popes Pius XI and XII subjects excommunicated at offence Illegal present continuance by present German Government   of vatican treaty .Guilty Contumacy  charge against Holy See of 1933    proved by the existence  of Secret Annexe : 'RESULT : WWII , '''HOLOCAUST Ends

Mathurin Régnier

Mathurin Régnier (December 21, 1573 – October 22, 1613) was a French satirist.

Life
Régnier was born in Chartres, capital city of the current department of Eure-et-Loir, in Centre-Val de Loire region.

His father, Jacques Régnier, was a bourgeois of good means and position; his mother, Simone Desportes, was the sister of the poet Philippe Desportes. Desportes, who was richly beneficed and in great favor at court, seems to have been regarded as Mathurin Régnier's natural protector and patron; and the boy himself, with a view to his following in his uncle's steps, was tonsured at eight years old.

Little is known of his youth, and it is chiefly conjecture which fixes the date of his visit to Italy in a humble position in the suite of the cardinal, François de Joyeuse, in 1587. The cardinal was accredited to the papal court in that year as protector of the royal interests. Regnier found his duties irksome, and when, after many years of constant travel in the cardinals service, he returned definitely to France about 1605, he took advantage of the hospitality of Desportes.

He early began the practice of satirical writing, and the enmity which existed between his uncle and the poet François de Malherbe gave him occasion to attack the latter. In 1606 Desportes died, leaving nothing to Régnier, who, though disappointed of the succession to Desportes's abbacies, obtained a pension of 2000 livres, chargeable upon one of them. He was also made in 1609 canon of Chartres through his friendship with the lax bishop, Philippe Hurault, at whose abbey of Royaumont he spent much time in the later years of his life. But the death of Henri IV. deprived him of his last hope of great preferments. His later life had been one of dissipation, and he died at Rouen at his hotel, the Ecu d'Orlans, in October 1613.

Works
About the time of his death numerous collections of licentious and satirical poems were published, while others remained in manuscript. Gathered from these there has been a floating mass of licentious epigrams, etc., attributed to Régnier, little of which is certainly authentic, so that it is very rare to find two editions of Régnier which exactly agree in contents. His undoubted work falls into three classes: regular satires in alexandrine couplets, serious poems in various metres, and satirical or jocular epigrams and light pieces, which often, if not always, exhibit considerable licence of language.

The real greatness of Régnier consists in the vigour and polish of his satires, contrasted and heightened as that vigour is with the exquisite feeling and melancholy music of some of his minor poems. In these Régnier is a disciple of Pierre Ronsard (whom he defended brilliantly against Malherbe), without the occasional pedantry, the affectation or the undue fluency of the La Pléiade; but in the satires he seems to have had no master except the ancients, for some of them were written before the publication of the satires of Vauquelin de la Fresnaye, and the Tragiques of Agrippa d'Aubigné did not appear until 1616. He has sometimes followed Horace closely, but always in an entirely original spirit. His vocabulary is varied and picturesque, and is not marred by the maladroit classicism of some of the Ronsardists.

His verse is extraordinarily forcible and virgorous, but his chief distinction as a satirist is the way in which he avoids the commonplaces of satire. His keen and accurate knowledge of human nature and even his purely literary qualities extorted the admiration of Boileau. Régnier displayed remarkable independence and acuteness in literary criticism, and the famous passage (Satire ix., A Monsieur Rapin) in which he satirizes Malherbe contains the best denunciation of the merely correct theory of poetry that has ever been written. Lastly, Regnier had a most unusual descriptive faculty, and the vividness of what he called his narrative satires was not approached in France for at least two centuries after his death. All his merits are displayed in the masterpiece entitled Macette ou l'Hypocrisie dconcerte, which does not suffer even on comparison with Tartuffe; but hardly any one of the sixteen satires which he has left falls below a very high standard.

Les Premieres d'Euvres ou satyres de Regnier (Paris, 1608) included the Discours au rol and ten satires. There was another in 1609, and others in 1612 and 1613. The author had also contributed to two collections : Les Muses gaillardes in 1609 and Le Temple d'Apollon in 1611. In 1616 appeared Les Satyres et autres cvuvres folastres du sieur Régnier, with many additions and some poems by other hands. Two famous editions by Elzevir (Leiden, 1642 and 1652) are highly prized. The chief editions of the 18th century are that of Claude Brossette (printed by Lyon & Woodman, London, 1729), which supplies the standard commentary on Régnier, and that of Lenglet Dufresnoy (printed by J. Tonson, London, 1733). The editions of Prosper Poitevin (Paris, 1860), of Ed. de Barthlemy (Paris, 1862), and of E. Courbet (Paris, 1875), may be specially mentioned. The last, printed after the originals in italic type, and well edited, is perhaps the best. See also Vianey's Mathurin Régnier (1896); M. H. Cherrier, Bibliographie de Mathurin Régnier (1884).

Tributes

 * His hometown, Chartres, honors his memory with a street bearing his name, connecting boulevard Chasles and Place des Halles. On this same square, a stele pays tribute to him and his uncle Philippe Desportes. In the district of La Madeleine, is also the college Mathurin-Regnier.
 * A street in Paris bears his name, in the 15th arrondissement, between rue de Vaugirard and rue Dutot. There is also a street bearing his name in Perpignan, in the district of the station.
 * In 1842, Alfred de Musset did him honor in his poem On laziness.
 * Around 1846, Eugène Delacroix realized in watercolor and gouache a drawing representing him.

Jonathan Danilowitz

Jonathan Danilowitz (יונתן דנילוביץ'; 13 January 1945 – 12 August 2022) was an LGBT activist and former chairman of The Aguda–Israel’s LGBT Task Force. In 2020, he was awarded Tel Aviv’s Yakir Ha’ir in recognition of his struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights.

He was born and raised in Krugersdorp, South Africa, and immigrated to Israel in 1971. He worked as a senior in-flight service manager for El Al Israel Airlines, based in Tel Aviv.

He was the plaintiff in one of the most important lawsuits establishing equal rights for LGBT people in Israel. In 1989, he sued the airline in Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court after it refused to give to his longtime same-sex partner an airline ticket, stating common-law spouses had to be of the opposite sex.

It was one of the Israel's most publicized civil rights cases. In 1992, the National Labor Court ruled against El Al, determining the national airline’s discrimination against Danilowitz and his partner was illegal. The airline appealed to the Israeli Supreme Court. In 1995, the court concurred with the lower court, ruling the discrimination illegal and requiring the airline to grant partner benefits. The case is featured in the Museum of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem as one of Israel’s most important.

Danilowitz was 77 when he died on 12 August 2022 from pancreatic cancer.

Dunton, Norfolk

Dunton is a village and civil parish in the North Norfolk district, in the county of Norfolk, England. It is located about 5 km west of Fakenham and 41 km north-west of Norwich.

History
Dunton-cum-Doughton's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for a farmstead or settlement either situated on a hill or with ducks.

In the Domesday Book, Dunton is listed as a settlement of 25 households in the hundred of Brothercross. In 1086, the village was part of the East Anglian estates of King William I. The parish of "Dunton" was formed on 1 April 1935 from Dunton cum Doughton, Shereford and Toftrees.

Massachusetts Maritime Academy

Massachusetts Maritime Academy (Mass Maritime, MMA) is a public university in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, focused on maritime-related fields. It was established in 1891 and is the second oldest state maritime academy in the United States. Originally established to graduate deck and engineering officers for the U.S. Merchant Marine, the academy has since expanded its curriculum. Though not required, some graduates go on to serve in active and reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces. The academy operates a training ship, USTS Kennedy.

History
The university was initially established on June 11, 1891 as the Massachusetts Nautical Training School, the result of an act passed by the state legislature. The first class of cadets passed through the school, which was initially located in Boston, in April 1893. Under its initial structure, the school was led by a superintendent who was then overseen by a board of commissioners appointed by the governor of Massachusetts; this structure would remain until 1942.

In 1913, the school's name changed for the first time, becoming the Massachusetts Nautical School.

By 1942, all state maritime academies became the responsibility of the federal government. At the time of this relinquishment of state control, the school was relocated from Boston to Hyannis, where it was subsequently renamed as the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. The academy would remain in Hyannis, on the former campus of the Hyannis State Teachers College, until 1949, when it moved to its present location in Buzzards Bay.

By 1964, the school rejoined the Division of State Colleges of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts while receiving permission to award four-year bachelors of science degrees. In 1977, the university first admitted women as cadets.

Regiment of Cadets
All residential students are members of the Academy's Regiment of Cadets. Within the Regiment, cadets supervise other cadets in a broad variety of activities, including the orientation of freshmen, room inspections, Morning Formation, daily cleaning stations, study hours, sea term planning and shipboard responsibilities. Students who seek to enroll in the Facilities Engineering or the Emergency Management programs as non-uniformed commuter students must apply in writing for admission to that status.

Academy freshmen, called "Youngies" (short for "young ladies and gentlemen"), arrive at the Academy in mid-August for Orientation, a two-week military-style indoctrination program that is physically and mentally demanding. It encompasses regimental training, military drill, and physical fitness. It also serves as an introduction to shipboard/maritime safety, nomenclature, and customs. The indoctrination period and cadet candidate program is essential to the preparation for the youngies' first semester at sea (sea term) in January.

After Orientation, the academic year begins. For the rest of their first academic year as fourth class cadets, Youngies continue to be required to adhere to stringent rules affecting many aspects of their daily life.

Second class cadets (juniors) are designated Squad Leaders and are in charge of the training of the Youngies. First class cadets (seniors) hold cadet officer positions within the regiment and/or aboard the training ship.

Regimental Band and Chorus
Composed of an average of 40 members, the MMA Band and Chorus is the musical ensemble of the Academy and the official music department at MMA. It takes part in ceremonial events at MMA as well as changes of command, military retirements, and funerals at Massachusetts National Cemetery along with other major events nationwide. The band also provides music for community events around the New England, region.

The band consists of the following ensembles:

 * Ceremonial Field and Concert Band
 * Chamber Chorus
 * Jazz Ensemble "First Watch"
 * Buccaneers Brass Band

Alpha Platoon
The MMA Drill Team, Alpha Platoon is the regiment's exhibition drill unit whose members are selected after a semester of mastering drill and ceremony.

Honour guard
The honour guard is primarily a ceremonial color guard consisting of at least 6 cadets. They are responsible for the posting of the colours during athletic events. It also maintains a sabre team for other events at the MMA.

Academics
Prior to the expansion of its offered majors in 1990, the academy was exclusively a merchant marine college, tasked with the training of future cargo ship officers. The academy only offered majors in the ship transport subjects of Marine Transportation and Marine Engineering. The academy now offers many more majors focused on maritime subjects including graduate degrees. The seven majors offered at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy are Marine Transportation (MTRA), Marine Engineering (MENG), International Maritime Business (IMBU), Energy Systems Engineering (ESE), Facilities Engineering (FENG), Emergency Management (EM), and Marine Science Safety and Environmental Protection (MSSEP). Massachusetts Maritime Academy is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.

Sea term
Sea terms are conducted between the two academic semesters, in January and February. Cadets register soon after the New Year holiday and prepare the USTS Kennedy for sailing, including loading provisions in the freezers and dry stores spaces. The ship sails for foreign ports of the Caribbean Sea three out of four years, and one in four formerly traveled to the Mediterranean Sea. At least one of the Caribbean voyages includes the Panama Canal and an Equator crossing.

The voyage lasts about 52 days on average, and during that time a cadet will rotate through class and laboratory training at sea, ships operations including deck and engine watches, maintenance and emergency drills. Port visits offer a time to relax, but still include watch responsibilities and ship's maintenance.

 * NSMV Patriot State II (2024–present) Second of the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel class—an entirely new design and class of vessel which is optimized to be a training platform and to respond to national disasters.

Shanghai exchange program
The academy offered an exchange program to Shanghai Maritime University, an 18,000-student school situated next to a deep-water port. Cadets would spend 100 days in the Shanghai program taking maritime business, law, and marketing classes and exploring the country to gain the experience they would need in the international maritime field. Four months later, Chinese cadets would make the trek to Taylor's Point and spend a semester at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. They became immersed into American culture, featuring trips to Boston, New York, Washington DC, and Plymouth Plantation.

Campus alternative and renewable energy
Massachusetts Maritime Academy has done a great deal of work to incorporate green and safe energy to the campus. The campus green energy initiative consists of solar panels on top of the dormitories that provide 81 kilowatts of solar power to the campus. The Academy also owns a 660 kilowatt wind turbine that provides nearly 20 percent of the campus's electricity.

Combined heat and power has been installed in the dormitories. Micro-turbines (small scale combustion turbines) generate electricity for the campus while utilizing the waste heat and flue exhaust to heat the hot water used in the dormitories.

The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Information Commons is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum Building. The 42,000 square foot building opened in September 2011 and was a 23 million dollar project. The construction of the building used 100% recycled steel; 20% recycled concrete; and 40% recycled insulation. The wood in the building is all bamboo as well. The building is cooled and heated by a geothermal system along with chilled beam technology. Additional light sensors and natural light are provided with skylights reducing the need for artificial lighting when enough natural light is present. The building is furnished with water conserving fixtures and the landscaping uses no irrigation for the planted areas. Water captured from the roof irrigates plantings adjacent to the building. In addition, the pitch of the roof of the ABS Information Commons increases the airflow directed towards the wind turbine by 8%.

Athletics
The Massachusetts Maritime Academy fields 15 varsity athletic teams (7 men's, 7 women's ,1 co-ed) competing in the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference at the NCAA Division III level.

Notable alumni

 * William J. Flanagan, Jr., Admiral, USN (retired), MMA class of 1964; served as Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (CINCLANTFLT) 1994-1996
 * Christine M. Griffin, past deputy director of the United States Office of Personnel Management

Ted Scott Flying Stories

The Ted Scott Flying Stories was a series of juvenile aviation adventures created by the Stratemeyer Syndicate using the pseudonym of Franklin W. Dixon (also used for The Hardy Boys) and published almost exclusively by Grosset & Dunlap. The novels were produced between 1927 and 1943. The principal author was John W. Duffield, who also contributed to the Don Sturdy and Bomba the Jungle Boy series. As "Richard H. Stone" he also launched a second Stratemeyer aviation series, the Slim Tyler Air stories (1930–1932). Duffield was a conscientious student of aeronautical technology, and long passages in the Ted Scott books can be traced to such sources as Aviation, the New York Times, Aero Digest, and Science.

The series featured Ted Scott, a public aviation hero rather than merely an amateur aviator. In the first book in the series, Over the Ocean to Paris published in 1927, Ted Scott achieved fame for being the first pilot to fly over the Atlantic Ocean to Paris, a feat first accomplished in the real world by Charles Lindbergh in May of that year.

One book from the Ted Scott series appears to be the first Stratemeyer Syndicate book to be reprinted in a foreign country and language, in the first half of the 1930s. Cover and interior art are different from the G & D editions.

Robert Allen (Virginia politician)

Robert Allen (July 30, 1794 – December 30, 1859) was an American lawyer, slaveholder, farmer and politician from Woodstock, Virginia. He represented Virginia in the United States House of Representatives from 1827 to 1833, after representing the central Shenandoah Valley in the Virginia Senate.

Early and family life
Allen was born in 1794 in Woodstock, the county seat of Shenandoah County, Virginia to attorney James Allen (1762-1844) and his wife, the former Jane Steele (1758-1826), daughter of Rev. John Steele (1715-1779; the "Fighting Parson" of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania). After some education at home, Allen traveled up the Shenandoah Valley and started college at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. After two years he transferred to Washington College (now Washington and Lee) in Lexington, Virginia where he graduated in 1815. He returned to the family farm and read law, was admitted to the bar and established a law practice in Woodstock.

He married Mary Ann Walkinshaw, who died in 1818, and then Frances Rebecca Harvey (1806-1873), the daughter of Matthew Harvey, who bore four sons and four daughters, including James Walkinshaw Allen (1829-1862), a VMI graduate who died as acting brigadier general of the Stonewall Brigade at the Battle of Gaines Mill, and CSA Col. Robert Clatworthy Allen (1834-1863) who died in the Battle of Gettysburg. Their brother Donald Allen (1848-1908) also fought in the unit before becoming a railroad man and Staunton's city engineer.

Career
After admission to the Virginia bar, Allen served as prosecuting attorney for Shenandoah County. He also farmed, and in the 1830 census owned 6 male slaves and 6 female slaves.

After Daniel Bryan accepted a federal post as postmaster in Alexandria, Virginia, voters from Shenandoah and adjoining Rockingham counties elected Allen to the Virginia state Senate in 1820, and re-elected him so that he served (part-time) from 1821 until 1826. In 1826 he was elected to the U.S. Congress as a Jacksonian. He would serve there for six years, winning re-election twice. Allen moved to Bedford County, Virginia and resumed farming. He owned 36 slaves in the 1840 census, although only 14 of those were engaged in agriculture (as well as 10 boys and 10 girls under age 10). His brother John James Allen also served in the Congress before becoming a Virginia judge.

Death and legacy
Allen died in 1859 at Mount Pleasant in Essex County, Virginia and is buried in the Longwood Cemetery in Bedford.

Fataga

Fataga is a village in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana on the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain).

History
The village can trace its origins back for more than 2000 years, when the area was inhabited by the Guanche natives.

The village became known as Adfatagad in the 16th century, around the time when the struggle for control of the Canary Islands between the Guanches and the Spanish was taking place. Many of the battles in the final stages of this conflict took place in and around the Barranco de Fataga.

By the end of the 19th century, Fataga had some 650 inhabitants, dedicated to the farming of cereals, vegetables and fruits, as well as cattle. At that time it was a self-sufficient farming community, owing its prosperity to the water source known as "El Cercado de Fataga" (The Orchard of Fataga) or "Fuente Grande" (Great Spring).

Description
Fataga is a very popular day-trip destination for holidaymakers staying in the coastal regions of Gran Canaria. It is a characteristic village of the island, with its old narrow lanes paved with stones and famous historic Canarian houses. It is a candidate for a listing as World Heritage Site. The village is in Fataga ravine (barranco de Fataga), an environment of brown rocks strewn with green known as the "valley of the thousand palms".

The church, dedicated to St. José, was built in 1880. In the period up to the present day new farms and houses were built, often growing fruits such as oranges, lemons, apricots and grapes. However the population of the village has now dropped to around 265.

Fataga has three restaurants, tourist areas, one of the oldest bakeries on the island and a watermill. Little artisan shops can be found near the church as much as near the bakery. Lastly but not least, the Arteara necropolis is halfway up from Maspalomas in Arteara.

Robert Moffat (missionary)

Robert Moffat (21 December 1795 – 9 August 1883) was a Scottish Congregationalist missionary to Africa from 1817–1870. Moffat began his missionary career in South Africa at the age of twenty-one. He was married to Mary Moffat. Their daughter was Mary Moffat Livingstone and their son-in-law was David Livingstone, who often worked with Moffat and his missionary efforts at various stations in southern Africa While doing missionary work at the mission at Kuruman, Moffat was the first to translate and have the Bible printed into the Sechuana language. While in Africa, Moffat devoted much of his time preaching the gospel and discussing the Bible, and also taught many of the natives how to read and write. Moffat's missionary career in Africa spanned a total of fifty-four years.

Family and early life
Moffat was born of humble parentage in Ormiston, in Scotland. Robert received an intermittent education. In 1797 his father received an appointment in the Custom House at Portsoy. In 1806 Moffat's home was at Carronshore, on the Firth of Forth. At this time the family consisted of five sons and two daughters. Moffat's first teacher was William Mitchell, also known as "Wully Mitchell," who was the parish schoolmaster. He was considered a stern teacher and would rap Robert on the knuckles if he slacked off in his schooling. Moffat's first instruction book was The Shorter Catechism, which contained the alphabet in its title page. At an early age Moffat left school to work on a coasting vessel. He gave up his job at sea and returned to school, and at the age of eleven he took up residence with his older brother Alexander and attended six more months of school.

Moffat began to appreciate a more liberal education, and managed his work schedule as to allow him to attend an evening class, where he began to Latin, and also acquired a rudimentary knowledge of applied geometry. During this apprenticeship he learned to use blacksmith's tools, which would later prove to be of value to him. After work he took up practicing and became skilled on the violin, which he would later become known for during his years in Africa.

At the age of sixteen, Moffat found employment in the gardens of the Earl of Moray at Donibristle. In 1813, he moved to Manchester, England and worked under John Smith a merchant. Here he met Mary Smith, who would later become his wife. In 1814, whilst employed at West Hall, High Legh in Cheshire he experienced difficulties with his employer due to his Methodist sympathies. For a short period, after having applied successfully to the London Missionary Society (LMS) he took an interim post as a farmer, at Plantation Farm in Dukinfield (where he first met Mary his future wife). The job had been found for him by William Roby, who took Moffat under his wing for a year. Besides his early training as a gardener and farmer, and later as a writer, Moffat developed skills in building, carpentry, printing and as a blacksmith. Moffat also attended the religious services of Reverend Robert Caldwell.

Moffat's mother read to him stories of the courage of the Moravian and other early missionaries. This is when he received his first aspirations towards a missionary career. The thought and desire of actually going abroad as a missionary, however, did not occur until after his conversion, which occurred when he reached twenty years of age. In 1813 he secured a post in the gardens of Charles Legh, at High Legh in Cheshire, and after bidding goodbye to his mother, who .made him promise to read a chapter of the Bible morning and evening.

Robert and Mary Moffat had ten children, two of whom they adopted while in Africa: Their children included their daughter, Mary (who married David Livingstone), Ann and Robert (who died as an infant). Robert Jr. (who died at the age of 87, leaving an uncompleted, but published, work on the Tswana language), Helen, Elizabeth (who also died as an infant), James, John, Elizabeth and Jean. Their son John Smith Moffat became an LMS missionary and took over the running of the mission at Kuruman before entering colonial service. Their grandson Howard Unwin Moffat became a prime minister of Southern Rhodesia. Mary preceded Robert in death in 1870, at home in England where they had returned because of failing health. The couple also adopted children. John Mokoteri and Sarah Roby.

In 1825 Mary had lost an infant son who died at only five days old. Soon after she was informed by one of the native missionary workers that an infant native baby, whose mother had just died, was customarily buried under some rocks at a nearby hillside. Alarmed, Mary demanded, "show me the place". She was led to a hillside, carefully removed the rocks, and found the five week old infant crying. Grief-stricken she embraced the infant and brought it home. Her husband Robert, wondering why his wife had not attended services that day, came home to find that Mary had steadfastly adopted the child. Asking what they would name the child, Robert suggested Sarah. Mary added, "and Roby", after the woman who had informed Mary of the infant's plight. The child was subsequently christened, Sarah Roby.

Missionary career
Background: In January, 1806, the long Orange River which traverses Namibia and South Africa was first crossed by missionaries of the London Missionary Society, for the purpose of doing missionary work and preaching the Gospel among the inhabitants of a wild and desolate region, often subjected to drought and subsequent food shortages, compounded by frequent tribal wars. Before the missionaries arrived the peoples of this region were often subjected to the plights of European sailors and opportunists which overall effected a hatred and mistrust towards any white man (called "hat-wearers" by the inhabitants). Through their persistence the missionaries were in large measure able to overcome such indifference and won their trust through their missionary efforts.

By September 1816, Moffat was formally commissioned at Surrey Chapel, Southwark in London as a missionary of LMS (on the same day as John Williams) and was sent out to South Africa. He made the eight-six day voyage from England to Capt Town aboard the sailing ship Alacrity, arriving in the sweltering heat of January, which was midsummer in South Africa. His fiancée, Mary Smith (1795–1870), was able to join him three years later.

In 1817 Moffat earned a name for himself when he managed to convert to Christianity Jager Afrikaner, who previously was a notorious bandit and cattle rustler who often terrorized other tribes. Through the appeals and efforts of Moffat, Jager was subsequently baptized and assumed the name of Christian Afrikaner.

Moffat and his wife left the Cape in 1820 and proceeded to Griquatown, where their daughter Mary (who was later to marry David Livingstone) was born. The family later settled at Kuruman, to the north of the Vaal River, among the Batswana people. Here they lived and worked passionately for the missionary cause, enduring many hardships. Once he went for days without water and his mouth became so dry he was unable to speak. Often he bound his stomach to help him endure fasting when he could not find food to eat. During this period, Robert Moffat made frequent journeys into the neighbouring regions as far north as the Matabele country. He communicated the results of these journeys to the Royal Geographical Society (Journal 25-38 and Proceedings ii). Whilst in Britain on leave (1839–43) an account of the family's experience, Missionary Labours and Scenes in South Africa (1842) was published. He translated the whole of the Bible and The Pilgrim's Progress into Bechuanas, although these translations are today sometimes considered less than adequate and relying on many colonial and cultural assumptions about the Tswana language. Moffat's task of translating English into Sechwana presented him with its own unique problems. There were no words in Sechwana for “reading” or “‘writing”’ or “book” or “‘pencil’’ or “letter”, and there was nothing in that language on which he could draw parallels. He had to construct totally new words for these ideas, which were hitherto completely foreign to their culture. Moffat's progress along these lines were greater than that of the natives and served to further compound an effort that was already difficult.

During a tribal war, before learning the Sechwana language, Moffat intervened and established peace between the two waring tribes, which earned him gratitude among the native peoples and acclaim and notoriety among his missionary colleagues, both in Africa and in England. Moffat journeyed along the Kolong river, and found large groups of attentive readers who were in great want of books, which he could hardly supply. He came upon a village, one hundred and fifty miles from Kuruman, where a chief named Mosheu and his people resided. Mosheu had formally visited the Kuruman mission previously. Here Moffat preached three times to this tribe on the first day. At the gatherings Moffat answered questions to a people who reportedly were anxious to learn to read, reciting over and again what they had heard. Mosheu generously had given Moffat and his congregation a sheep the evening before, and the wives of the tribesmen took made efforts to provide milk. To meet their wants Moffat distributed spelling books among them. Moffat made great progress in introducing Christianity to the people in this region. Chief Mosheu brought his daughter to Mrs. Moffat for instruction, and his brother brought his son for the same purpose.

Construction for a place of worship began in 1830 with the laying of a foundation, but Moffat had great difficulty in securing the lumber needed for its construction, and subsequently the church was not completed until several years later.

In 1938 Moffat published his work, Scenes and Adventures in Africa in four editions over three years. The work comprehensively described the living conditions, hardships, customs of the people, and wild life in southern Africa. Through his work Moffat became the best known missionary in Britain.

Translating and printing the Bible
One of Moffat's foremost efforts in his missionary work was spreading the word of the Gospel among the native peoples in southern Africa. To accomplish this feat he had to learn the Sechuana language language, involving several years of study with the help of various translators .As a translator Moffat was an admirer of Johannes van der Kemp, (1747-1811) who was gifted in his ability to learn and translate African languages, and one of the first of three pioneers of the London Missionary Society in southern Africa who learned and translated native languages.

Among Moffat's first such efforts were the translation of the Westminster Catechism, small portions of Scripture and many hymns of the Reformation, which were prepared and sent to Cape Town in 1825, but to Moffat's disappointment,  they were mistakenly sent to England after they had been printed. Moffat also wrote the first Christian hymn in Sechwana. By 1829 Moffat had translated his first book of the Bible, the Gospel of Luke, into the Sechuana language]]. At this time, however, he was also spending much of his time constructing a roof on a very large church structure, and with little free time on his hands, he was finally able to complete the translation.

Eager to have his manuscript printed and distributed, Moffat embarked for Cape Town to have it printed, traveling in covered wagon pulled by oxen With him on the journey was his wife Mary and their two young daughters, Mary and Ann, ages nine and seven respectively, who were to be placed in school in Salem, Grahamstown upon their arrival to the cape. At Grahamstown, however, he was met with disappointment when he was informed that there was no printer or ship for transport at Algoa Bay. Having no other recourse he set off to Cape Town, some four-hundred miles east. The Committee of the London Bible Society had forwarded a letter of introduction to Cape Town informing them of Moffat's expectations upon his arrival. Moffat arrived at Cape Town on October 30 and searched far and wide for a printing press with great difficulty. He was thus forced to plead with the governor, Galbraith Lowry Cole, for help and possible use of the government's printing press, which was poorly equipped with only one competent printer, Mr. Van der Zant, at hand. Moffat received the funds necessary for paper and printing from the Bible Society. Having completed this arduous task Moffat had acquired a working knowledge of printing in the process. An impressed John Philips saw the potential in Moffat and the prospect of having the entire Bible printed and distributed in the colony and he promised him an iron printing press, which had just arrived at Cape Town, to be taken back to Kuruman for that purpose. Moffat saw this as the crowning achievement to his effort in having the Bible translated and printed.

After years of great effort involved in translating and printing, Moffat was weary and worn out with his work at his simple printing press. He had been away from England for twenty-two years, while his African born children had never seen Scotland or England. His doctors had warned him that was near the point of exhaustion and needed a break.. He was also urged to return home by the Directors of the Missionary Society in London. Though tired, Moffat was still set on having the complete New Testament translated and printed, and he Bible Society were willing to do the printing if he would bring the manuscript to London and instruct them how to set up type for printing the Sechuana language. Having also been urged by his associates he decided to make the move back to England. Near the end of 1838 Moffat went to Cape Town with his family, taking his manuscript and sailed for England. and arrived in London in June 1839. While the printing was underway Moffat began translating of the Book of Psalms, and stayed in England to complete it. Moffat's arduous effort involving thirty years of study and work was finally accomplished, and the knowledge that the Bible was now in the hands of the Bechwana people, and printed in their language, proved to be an accomplishment that was widely acclaimed in the London Bible Society and in many Christian circles. David Livingston once wrote that Moffat’s translations were “a great work and likely to be of permanent benefit to the people" in southern Africa.

Final years
Failing health and domestic trouble back in England persuaded Moffat to finally leave his missionary efforts in Africa and embarked for England on June 10, 1870, where he was warmly received by family, friends and admirers. Now in England, Moffat was honored at a meeting of "an unusually interesting character", conducted by the London Missionary Society, held August 1, 1870, attended by veteran missionaries at the Board-room of the London Mission House. Also a guest of honor was William Beynon of India. Here Moffat was commended for his long devoted missionary service in Africa, and in particular, for converting the notorious bandit, Jager Afrikaner, into a Christian.

Not long after his wife Mary died at Brixton in January 1871. For the last twelve years of his life, Robert spoke throughout England, seeking to raise interest in the mission work in African, and overall. He was presented to Queen Victoria twice at her request and was presented with a Doctor of Divinity degree from Edinburgh University.

When David Livingston, Moffat's son in law, died in 1873, Moffat went to Southampton to identify the remains, which arrived from Africa months after his passing. Thereafter he attended Livingstone's funeral in Westminster Abbey. On June 9, 1877,. Molfat was given the honor of laying the memorial stone of the Livingstone Memorial Medical Institution in Cowgate, Edinburgh, a ceremony that was attended by a large gathering of admirers.

Robert Moffat died at Leigh, near Tunbridge Wells, on 9 August 1883, at the age of eighty-two, and is buried at West Norwood Cemetery. A memorial monument, paid for by public subscription, was erected at his birthplace in 1885.

Legacy
Moffat's fifty-four years of missionary service, which produced the Bible in the Sechuana language, has been widely acclaimed by the London Bible Society, the predominately Christian population of southern Africa, and in many other Christian circles.
 * Residents of High Legh organise a Robert Moffat Memorial 10 km run beginning and ending at his cottage.
 * His printing work in Kuruman was supported by an iron hand press that was brought to Natal in 1825 and taken to Kuruman in 1831. Rev. Moffat used it until 1870 when he retired, after which it was taken over by William Aston and A J Gould and was in use until about 1882. In 1918 it was taken to the Kimberley Public Library where it remained until it was returned to the Moffat Mission in Kuruman in 1996. It is back in occasional use printing commemorative documents.

The Yahweh article used to be really really bad. It is slightly better now. I learnt a lot from editing it, although I’d wish I’d not taken it so seriously.

At the end of the day Wikipedia is written by its content, not by following rules - WP:IAR is officially a rule!

All the rules break down at some point. You can even insert facts without a citation:

I am an inclusionist. The idea that there are people here that delete things for fun angers me.
