Terence Donovan (photographer)

Terence Daniel Donovan (14 September 1936 – 22 November 1996) was an English photographer and film director, noted for his fashion photography of the 1960s. A book of his fashion work, Terence Donovan Fashion, was published 2012. He also directed many TV commercials and oversaw the music video to Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" and "Simply Irresistible". The Guardian labelled “Addicted to Love“ as being "fashion's favourite video" since it was released.

Early life and education
Donovan was born in Stepney in the East End of London to lorry driver Daniel Donovan and (Lilian) Constance Violet (née Wright), a cook. He took his first photo at the age of 15. He had a fractured education, but between the ages of 11 and 15 studied at the London County Council School of Photoengraving and Lithography.

Career
The bomb-damaged industrial landscape of his home town became the backdrop of much of his fashion photography, and he set the trend for positioning fashion models in stark and gritty urban environments. Flats and gasometers were popular settings, and he often had the models adopt adventurous poses. He wedged one model up the side of a building, and photographed another as she posed dangling from a parachute.

Along with David Bailey and Brian Duffy (nicknamed by Norman Parkinson the 'Black Trinity'), he captured, and in many ways helped create, the Swinging London of the 1960s: a culture of high fashion and celebrity chic. The trio of photographers socialised with actors, musicians and royalty, and found themselves elevated to celebrity status. Together, they were the first real celebrity photographers. He joined the Royal Photographic Society in 1963, gaining his Associate in 1963 and Fellowship in 1968.

In the early 1970s Donovan branched out into film production and it was during this period that he moved his studio to 30 Bourdon Street, Mayfair, now marked by a memorial plaque.

Donovan shot for various fashion magazines, including Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, as well as directing some 3000 TV commercials, and the rarely seen 1973 cop film, Yellow Dog starring Jiro Tamiya. He also made documentaries and music videos, and painted.

Personal life
Donovan was married twice. His first marriage to Janet Cohen was short-lived, but he remained married to his second wife, Diana Dare, until his death. He was the father of the musician Dan Donovan, the actress Daisy Donovan and Terry Donovan, a co-founder of Rockstar Games.

He was a black belt in judo and co-wrote a popular judo book, Fighting Judo (1985), with former World Judo Gold medallist Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki.

Death
In 1996, Donovan hanged himself after suffering from depression. His last interview appeared in a British photography magazine a few weeks after his death.

Talk:Biodynamic agriculture

Biased POV
I have made two minor edits to neutralised two heavily opinionated claims and they were reverted in less than a minute. I don't have the time to play editing games of course, so someone responsible please check this matter.
 * 1) "it is more akin to sympathetic magic" is a point of view, whatever the context. It should read "someone has characterised it as more akin to sympatheric magic" and the reader can look to the cited work for more.
 * 2) "it is a pseudoscience" is a POV. Even if I'm not a user of these methods, many thousands of farmers are, and they don't find it a pseudoscience. Just keep it simple, intelligent readers can make their own opinions, they don't need us to draw conclusions for them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.216.105.154 (talk) 07:38, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It's obvious pseudoscience. WP:PSCI policy requires us to be up-front about that and we shan't give the false impression this is just an odd viewpoint with the "some people ..." wording, per WP:ASSERT. Alexbrn (talk) 07:42, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't say that it's not pseudoscience (nor that it is) I'm just asking that you refrain from forcing your own opinion into it. I retain that "it is more akin to sympathetic magic" should be changed to something like "it is has been described as more akin to sympathetic magic" and "it is a pseudoscience" should be changed to "some scientists described it as pseudoscience". I don't think the audience is as interested in your personal opinion as you seem to think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.216.105.154 (talk) 09:52, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * That's right: Wikipedia is not interested in his opinion, or yours, or mine. We have rules for stating that something is pseudoscience, and the statement complies with these rules. Tgeorgescu (talk) 10:49, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It is not necessary to attribute statements that represent the scientific consensus view. In fact, to do so violates WP:NPOV. It would be like saying "according to Neil deGrasse Tyson, the earth is billions of years old". Attributing the statement gives the false impression that this is less than a universally held view. Guy (Help!) 12:18, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

 * A Google Scholar search gives more than 10,000 hits, nearly all of which are fully reliable sources which treat the topic in a straightforwardly scientific manner. Adding the term pseudoscience brings that down to 140 hits, or 1% of the total, and a quick survey reveals that most of these either do not connect biodynamics to pseudoscience (the terms occur in two different contexts in the source) or if they do, use nuanced wording such as that suggested above ("some have characterized it as pseudoscience).  Cl ea n Co py talk 11:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:PROFRINGE. The only pertinent sources wrt pseudoscience are those which consider the pseudoscience classification. Advocacy based on a Google search is not relevant. In case anybody's wondering, burying crystals in the ground to harness cosmic forces is, in fact, pseudoscientific (at best). Alexbrn (talk) 12:23, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:PROFRINGE does not support the contention that "the only pertinent sources wrt pseudoscience are those which consider the pseudoscience classification." An WP:RS article on a subject which does not mention pseudoscience is not inherently advocacy. For example, there are a number of RS articles about the economics of biodynamic agriculture, and wine in particular, which do not go into detail about the beleifs associated with the system.Dialectric (talk) 14:32, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:PROFRINGE applies to the general move to play-down the pseudoscience. A source on economics is okay for content on economics, but not for playing down the pseudoscience aspect of BDA. No actual source (on economics or otherwise) has been proposed. Alexbrn (talk) 14:44, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * If the theme is generally taken seriously by academics, then it is a violation of WP:NPOV to solely use the few sources where this is cast into doubt. Cl ea n Co py talk 20:57, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:PSCI applies; that it's pseudoscience must be prominent. As to other sources, I'm hearing lots of words but seeing no sources: a section (e.g.) on the economics of biodynamic agriculture could be good. So add it - but it's not an excuse to whitewash the article. Alexbrn (talk) 21:01, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

To cut the cruft, Steiner wanted his adepts to believe that biodynamic agriculture is cutting edge technology based upon spiritual science (higher knowledge revealed through archangels and principalities), but scholars of religion have no qualms to qualify it as magic. For the same reason some fundamentalist Christian websites warn believers that homeopathy is not quackery, but directly from the Devil. Tgeorgescu (talk) 02:23, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Open access journals
These are difficult to evaluate, but the Journal of social and development sciences is listed in the Directory of Open-Access Journals, which is one of the primary ways of judging the validity of such journals, according to this University research guide. It is published by Springer, which is a high-quality publisher. I don't know what other standard to apply... Cl ea n Co py talk 18:04, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * What do you think about this: the journal has to be either removed totally or kept totally, no in-between. Tgeorgescu (talk) 18:51, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Biodynamics is Steiner cult bullshit, we should be pushing for good quality sources, not journals on Beall's list that have no impact factor and are in completely unrelated areas of study. There's a long term problem with rubbish being published in journals in tangentially related fields (see Iris Bell's publications on homeopathy, moving from journal to journal as they catch on to the fact that she's promoting woo). That's my view, anyway. Guy (Help!) 19:59, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Edit war
Organic farming was a golden opportunity for biodynamic agriculture to show that it can feed a country. But it flopped, and Anthroposophists could not prevent the failure of Sri Lankan agriculture. They can produce small quantities of luxury vegetables, milk and meat, but they cannot feed the world. tgeorgescu (talk) 21:08, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

 * So ALL of Sri Lanka switched to Biodynamic Agriculture? I think we all would have heard about this. Can you provide some proof to back up your claims? FMRSJR (talk) 05:35, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The "this cannot be true because I never heard of it" gambit has been tried before on Wikipedia but as far as I know it has never worked. Wikipedia is supposed to contain the knowledge of the whole of humanity, not only yours.
 * Regarding "proof to back up your claims": Move your mouse cursor onto the underlined text "Organic farming#Sri Lanka" above, then click the left mouse button. You will arrive at a page that has little numbers at the end of sentences. Repeat that moving-and-clicking thing with those numbers, and you will see what the sources are. Find those and read them. --Hob Gadling (talk) 07:42, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * A country switching to 100% organic agriculture would have been a golden opportunity for Anthroposophists to show the power of their own brand of agriculture. It was widely advertised, so it was no secret. Any honest agricultural businessman could join such transition. tgeorgescu (talk) 18:44, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Not claiming to be scientific
Biodynamic agriculture is not claiming to be scientifically based. It is not pseudoscience because it doesn’t claim to be scientific. It is comprised of policies and practices that some farmers use and the results speak for themselves. It follows the same base practices as organic certification farming, and then adds some extras practices. That’s all. There is no reason to call it pseudoscience. If it claimed to be a scientific method we could have that argument. But it doesn’t claim to be so why judge it according to a scientific standard? 2603:800C:2500:F58:A5CC:7CD5:E757:1783 (talk) 17:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * the results speak for themselves ← what results? Bon courage (talk) 17:44, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * See Organic farming. Can biodynamic agriculture feed 4 billion people? Sri Lanka could not avoid a crash of agricultural production, where were the Anthroposophists then? The Sri Lankan government would have accepted help from Lucifer and Ahriman, if these could feed their country. tgeorgescu (talk) 17:53, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you may be misunderstanding what "pseudoscience" means. It doesn't need to be currently claimed to be science, since Rudolf Steiner claimed it was a direct result of his "spiritual science." He claimed it had basis in "scientific reasoning" of his own design. — Shibboleth ink  (♔ ♕) 21:40, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Obviously not open-minded
I looked for the definition of biodynamic and stumbled on this entry. I read the first line and realized this text is not impartial. Disparaging words like pseudo-scientific and esoteric in the first sentence. Shame on the writer of this.

Biodynamic agriculture is a form of alternative agriculture based on pseudo-scientific and esoteric concepts initially developed in 1924 by Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925).[1][2] It was the first of the organic farming movements.[3] It treats soil fertility, plant growth, and livestock care as ecologically interrelated tasks,[4][5][6] emphasizing spiritual and mystical perspectives 102.165.195.156 (talk) 06:51, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Lehmer sequence

In mathematics, a Lehmer sequence is a generalization of a Lucas sequence.

Algebraic relations
If a and b are complex numbers with

 * $$a + b = \sqrt{R}$$
 * $$ab = Q$$

under the following conditions:

 * Q and R are relatively prime nonzero integers
 * $$a/b$$ is not a root of unity.

Then, the corresponding Lehmer numbers are:

 * $$U_n(\sqrt{R},Q) = \frac{a^n-b^n}{a-b}$$

for n odd, and

 * $$U_n(\sqrt{R},Q) = \frac{a^n-b^n}{a^2-b^2}$$

for n even.

Their companion numbers are:

 * $$V_n(\sqrt{R},Q) = \frac{a^n+b^n}{a+b}$$

for n odd and

 * $$V_n(\sqrt{R},Q) = a^n+b^n$$

for n even.

Recurrence
Lehmer numbers form a linear recurrence relation with

 * $$U_n = (R-2Q)U_{n-2}-Q^2U_{n-4} = (a^2+b^2)U_{n-2}-a^2b^2U_{n-4}$$

with initial values $$U_0=0,\, U_1=1,\, U_2=1,\, U_3=R-Q=a^2+ab+b^2$$. Similarly the companion sequence satisfies

 * $$V_n = (R-2Q)V_{n-2}-Q^2V_{n-4} = (a^2+b^2)V_{n-2}-a^2b^2V_{n-4}$$

with initial values $$V_0=2,\, V_1=1,\, V_2=R-2Q=a^2+b^2,\, V_3=R-3Q=a^2-ab+b^2.$$

Thorough

In 17th century England, Thorough was a name given by Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford to a scheme of his to establish absolute monarchy in England. Although "Thorough" is largely attributed to Strafford, its implementation can also be accredited to the Archbishop of Canterbury William Laud.

Under Laud
Laud exploited his secular and religious roles to implement the policy of Thorough in England. Laud used his authority as Archbishop of Canterbury to appoint only Arminian clergymen as bishops; this in turn meant that most vicars they appointed would also be Arminian. Arminianism is a sect of Protestant Christianity which believes in the "Divine Right of Kings" and the (Catholic reminiscent) "Beauty of Holiness". Laud hoped that his new Arminian Church of England would make the English conform to believing in the "Divine Right", supporting Charles I's personal rule and setting up a parliament-independent monarchy.

Though English Arminians often supported expansion of royal authority, this did not correlate to support of absolutist monarchies. Arminians challenged Calvinist conception of absolute predestination by introducing an element of free will into Protestant soteriology; that is, they asserted that even the elect (those destined to salvation) could fall totally and finally from saving grace. This idea often translated into acceptance of an increased role of sacraments and the ecclesiastical hierarchy, or the "Beauty of Holiness", though this was not necessarily the case. The phrase "Divine Right of Kings" has been incorrectly interpreted as equivalent to absolutism.

Laud used his authority over the prerogative courts to humiliate the gentry, who were largely Puritan and Presbyterian. As Puritans and Presbyterians, the gentry were opposed to Laud's beliefs and opposed to the idea of a parliament-independent monarchy. William Laud used his authority over the prerogative courts to punish many people, including Puritan martyr William Prynne. In this era, religious issues were constitutional issues as in the case of Charles I and William Laud's attempt to impose the English Book of Common Prayer on Scotland.

Under Strafford
Strafford was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and domiciled in Ireland for much of the personal rule. He left the running of England largely to Laud, although the application of Thorough in Ireland was entirely down to Strafford. The fear that Strafford instilled in the Irish through the policy of "Thorough" can be demonstrated when looking at the ease with which Strafford extracted subsidies from the Irish Parliament as the Second Bishops War approached during 1640. As well as attempting to raise revenue, Strafford aimed to assert the authority of, both, the Church and the State. The assertion of the state's authority was embodied by the extension of Protestant settlements in the north of Ireland, at the expense of the Old English and Native Irish. However, he, also, targeted the Protestant New English settlers with the Star Chamber. This punished those whom possessed land that was not well documented enough. The authority of the Church was supported by the Court of High Commission and consisted of policies, which aimed to see a change towards Laudianism. These policies united Catholic and Protestant opposition against him.

Like Humans Do

"Like Humans Do" is the fourth track from David Byrne's Look into the Eyeball and was also released as a single in 2001. Most notably, the radio edit version of the song (which omits the line referring to cannabis) was selected by Microsoft as the sample music for Windows XP to demonstrate the new Windows Media Player, though it was only included in early releases of the operating system. It was also included as a sample track on the Rio Karma media player.

The song was also featured on Byrne's 2007 live album Live from Austin, Texas and 2004's Live at Union Chapel. In the latter film, he explains that the song is about trying to love human beings despite their failings, by taking a "Martian's perspective" on humanity and trying to accept them for what they are.

Track listing

 * 1) "Like Humans Do" (Radio Edit)
 * 2) "All Over Me"
 * 3) "Princess"

 * Notes
 * The B-sides were later appended to a re-release of Look into the Eyeball.

When I first heard about Wikipedia, I was listening to the radio with less than one-half an ear. With a couple of spare minutes at hand, I experimented and came up with the website we all now know. It looked interesting, so I decided to explore. When I got to Buick, I read with more interest and felt that I could contribute, because among other interests, I am a Buick fan, especially a Buick Skylark fan. As I figure out the procedures, I will add more, including making directions for newbies easier to understand.

Re: My votes
Hello, Pintele Yid. Thanks for your inquiry. According to Interiot's Tool, you currently have 175 edits, several of which were made after the start of the elections (00:01 January 9). I double-checked this manually, counting your edits, and not including the edits you made between 02:31 UTC and 03:30 UTC on January 9. Those edits on January 9 would have brought you over the threshold for suffrage, but the rules say at the beginning of the election, which was 00:01 UTC January 9. Thus, I interpreted those edits as after the election, thereby bringing your total prior to January 9 under 150 edits. Because this is a unique situation where the edits actually on the day of the election are in question, I brought it up on the [|talk page], and received one response agreeing with my interpretation of the wording of the rules. While I understand your frustration (I myself was denied suffrage in the last Board election) and the possible confusion of the last-minute rule change (the 150 edit requirement was added on the day before the elections started, something which I opposed), there's nothing I can do about it; however, feel free to add your opinions on the talk page and see what others say. I hope you understand the situation, and thanks for your understanding. If there's anything else I can answer for you, please don't hesistate to ask. Thanks!

Germano is from Claremont, California, where he broke Mark McGwire's Claremont Little League record for most home runs in a season. He graduated from Claremont High School in 2000.

San Diego Padres
He was drafted in 2000 by the San Diego Padres. Germano made his major league debut with the San Diego Padres on May 22, 2004, getting the win as the starting pitcher against the Philadelphia Phillies. He pitched five innings, allowing five hits, four runs (three of them on a three-run home run by Chase Utley in the third inning), four walks, and five strikeouts. As a hitter, he would have two at-bats and went hitless.

Germano is the first ever MLB pitcher to throw a major league pitch in China, starting for an exhibition game as the Padres starter against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The ball from that first pitch now resides in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown NY.

Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks
Just after the 2008 season ended, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks signed Germano as a free agent. Despite pitching well in spring training and not giving up a single run, Germano did not win a spot on SoftBank's Opening Day roster, as the Hawks were at the limit of foreign players on the roster (Chris Aguila, Kameron Loe, D.J. Houlton, and Brian Falkenborg). However, with Aguila and Loe failing to play well, Germano's chance came during Interleague play. Germano's first start came against the Hiroshima Carp, Germano was credited with the complete-game victory, giving up only two hits.

He continued to pitch well throughout the season. Germano finished the season with a 5–4 record and a 4.38 ERA. In September it was revealed that Germano had been pitching with an inflamed Achilles' tendon, and was knocked out for the rest of the season and the playoffs.

He threw 60 strikes in 95 pitches to help lead the Clippers to a 3–0 victory over the Syracuse Chiefs.

Samsung Lions
Germano was sold to the Samsung Lions of the KBO League on August 5, 2011.

Boston Red Sox
On January 10, 2012, Germano signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox. He also received an invitation to spring training.

In his 2012 debut, Germano pitched $5 2/3$ scoreless innings of relief in a game against the New York Yankees on July 7. He was designated for assignment on July 13.

Chicago Cubs
Germano was traded to the Chicago Cubs on July 19, for cash considerations. Germano posted a 6.75 ERA in 13 appearances (12 starts) with the Cubs. On October 30, Germano elected free agency after being outrighted the previous week.

Toronto Blue Jays
Germano signed a minor league deal with a Spring training invitation with the Blue Jays on November 9, 2012. Germano started the 2013 season with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.

Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin-class destroyer

Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin class destroyers (충무공 이순신급 구축함, Hanja: 忠武公李舜臣級驅逐艦) are multipurpose destroyers of the Republic of Korea Navy. The lead ship of this class, ROKS Chungmugong Yi Sunsin, was launched in May 2002 and commissioned in December 2003. Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin-class destroyers were the second class of ships to be produced in the Republic of Korea Navy's destroyer mass-production program named Korean Destroyer eXperimental, which paved the way for the navy to become a blue-water navy. Six ships were launched by Hyundai Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in four years.

Weapon systems
The ships have a 32-cell strike-length Mk 41 VLS for SM-2 Block IIIA area-air defence missiles, one 21-round RAM inner-layer defence missile launcher, one 30 mm Goalkeeper close-in weapon system, one Mk 45 Mod 4 127 mm gun, eight Harpoon anti-ship missiles and two triple 324 mm anti-submarine torpedo tubes.

The electronics suite includes one Raytheon AN/SPS-49(V)5 2D long-range radar (LRR), one Thales Nederland MW08 target indication 3D radar (TIR), two Thales Nederland STIR240 fire-control radars with OT-134A Continuous Wave Illumination (CWI) transmitters, an SLQ-200(V)K SONATA electronic warfare system and a KDCOM-II combat management system which is derived from the Royal Navy Type 23 frigate's SSCS combat management system. BAE Systems WDS Mk 14 originally developed for the US Navy's New Threat Upgrade evaluates threats, prioritizes them, and engages them in order with SM-2.

On the 4th unit, ROKS Wang Geon, the 32-cell Mk 41 VLS is moved to the left and an indigenous VLS named K-VLS is installed on the right. The ship's forward part is spacious enough to take a 56-cell Mk 41 VLS.

Design
The KDX-II is part of a much larger build up program aimed at turning the ROKN into a blue-water navy. It is said to be the first stealthy major combatant in the ROKN and was designed to significantly increase the ROKN's capabilities.

KDX-IIA
KDX-IIA is a proposed variant of the KDX-II. It will be armed with the advanced Aegis Combat System and will have enhanced features of KDX-II such as stealth. The ship has been offered to the Indian Navy.

Arsenal ship
On August 14, 2019, the Ministry of National Defense unveiled a five year defense plan between 2020 and 2024. The defense plan called for two new naval projects to be developed: the LPX-II-Class Aircraft Carrier and an arsenal ship. The design of the arsenal ship is said to be based on the KDX-II destroyer and is expected to be completed by the late 2020s.

Bob Love

Robert Earl "Butterbean" Love (born December 8, 1942) is an American former professional basketball player who spent the prime of his career with the National Basketball Association's Chicago Bulls. A versatile forward who could shoot with either his left or right hand, Love now works as the Bulls' director of community affairs and goodwill ambassador. His "Butterbean" nickname dates back to his boyhood when he was fond of the legume.

High school and college career
After starring at Morehouse High School (now defunct) in Louisiana, Love played basketball for Southern University, where he also became a brother of Alpha Phi Omega. He earned All-America honors in 1963.

Professional career
In 1965, the Cincinnati Royals selected the 6’8" forward in the fourth round of the 1965 NBA draft. Love failed to make the team, and instead spent the 1965–66 NBA season in the Eastern Basketball League. After averaging over 25 points per game, Love earned the EBL Rookie of the Year Award and gained enough confidence to try out for the Royals once more. He made the team on his second attempt and played two seasons for the Royals, largely in a reserve role.  Love made his NBA debut on October 18, 1966. In 1968, the Milwaukee Bucks selected him in the NBA Expansion Draft and traded him to the Chicago Bulls in the middle of the 1968–69 season.

Love flourished while playing for Dick Motta's Bulls. In 1969–70, he became a full-time starter, averaging 21 points and 8.7 rebounds. The following two seasons he averaged 25.2 and 25.8 points per game, appeared in his first two NBA All-Star Games, and earned All-NBA Second Team honors both seasons. Love also appeared in the 1973 All-Star Game, and he would average at least 19 points and six rebounds every season until 1976–77. Love was named to the NBA's All-Defense Second Team in 1974 and 1975.

His #10 jersey was the second jersey number to be retired by the Chicago Bulls. Jerry Sloan's #4 was the first. Love's 1995 wedding ceremony to Rachel Dixon took place at the United Center.

Executive career
Love ended his NBA career with the Bulls after spending parts of the 1976–77 season in New York and Seattle. He would finish with career totals of 13,895 points, 1,123 assists, and 4,653 rebounds. Love developed a stutter in childhood, and some say it prevented him from finding meaningful employment after his playing days were over. At one point, Love was hired as a busboy and dishwasher by Nordstrom where he earned $4.45 an hour. Eventually, John Nordstrom, the director of the family business, was so impressed with the former NBA star's work ethic, he offered to pay for speech therapy classes. Nordstrom later promoted Love to be the corporate spokesperson. In 1993, Love returned to the Chicago Bulls as their director of community relations. One of his duties in this position involves regularly speaking to school children. Love has also become a motivational speaker.

 * Well, it remains to be seen whether it is a *Real* company or not. Any 15 year old writing a software can claim to be from a company and set up a website etc, but that doesn't make either the software or the person notable. Bill Gates did it 30 years ago. If Zac was a 15 year old opening a company in the 1970s, he would have been notable too. But in the 2000s, that doesn't count. --Ragib 20:46, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Ontario Highway 27

Untitled
Will somebody drive to Oph27 and take pictures of the Super-4 portion so that we can see pictures of a 4-lane undivided freeway? --SuperDude 03:01, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

This route does not appear in the traffic counts, nor on the official highway map. It seems that the MTO no longer uses this number for whatever small part they may own. --NE2 03:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

The article lists this as a 2-mile MTO stub and the template at the bottom of the page has the whole thing decommissioned? Which is it? K7L (talk) 03:02, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

 * It's a stub, which should be mentioned right off the bat... but in my opinion the article should cover the highway as it was prior to 1997, as the stub is very very minor... same with Highway 2 and Highway 20 which are similar situations. -  Floydian  τ ¢  17:29, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Ontario King's Highways lists 27 in "former Ontario highways" and 2 in "current highways". This seems arbitrary if a stub still legally exists for both roads. I thought 2 was fixed (two distance charts, 1926 and 1998) but 20 is missing historic distances to Hamilton and 3 is simply incomplete. If 27 is even a stub, though, it should go back into "current highways" in the template. K7L (talk) 18:04, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Agreed. I haven't gotten to many of the highways yet, so some articles are just a mess (should've seen them 2 or 3 years ago though!). I've got a copy (digital and physical) of the 1989 distance tables, which more or less covers everything at the peak extent of the highway network. I'll try and fill in some of those historic distances when I have an opportunity. -  Floydian  τ ¢  01:35, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
