Talk:Methyl isobutyl ketone

Evil pollutant!
A pollutant that the government wants added to ethanol alcohol to prevent it from being used as a beverage, but only as a vehicle fuel instead. In the event of ground water contamination, as in the case of MTBE added to gasoline by government order, the State and Federal governments reject all responsibility for the future ground water contamination by Methyl isobutyl ketone and insist that it is the fault of ethanol fuel corporations. Even though these corporations do not want to add Methyl isobutyl ketone to ethanol fuel, but are being forced by the State and Federal government on threat of fine or jail time. The tv news media says they will not inform the American people of these criminal actions by the State and Federal government politicians and government employees.

 * Yes, I can see that all Governments and their employees are criminals. Your comment smacks as typical paranoia fromt the anti-Government brigade.  Have you got any real evidence of this?  If so, present it rather than ranting.  And perhaps you may wish to note that other countries have State and Federal governments and not just the USA.  So your rant is even more incomprehensible.

 * Methyl isobutyl ketone NPOV as well as numerous factual errors.  Could use someone with experience in formatting chemical pages to give it a proper treatment.  Probably needs to be rewritten from scratch. Sbard 21:43, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks to User:Walkerma. Physchim62 10:42, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Carbon numbering incorrect
After seeing the erroneous systematic name "2-methylpentan-4-one", I do have to agree with Sbard. Carbon chain is numbered with lowest number(s) closest to highest priority functional group (the ketone carbonyl, in this instance); methyl substituents are subordinate groups.

As for the "evil pollutant" rant herein, MIBK has been and continues to be widely used as a paint solvent, and no "evil" effects have been forthcoming, or else we'd all be dropping dead from the poisoning thereof. Leave the alarmist rhetoric where it belongs, please—in utter silence. Irishchieftain 01:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, the name WAS correct when I did the rewrite, (see [this version), but someone had switched it without me noticing. Regarding the alarmist rhetoric, are you referring to the CS gas reference?  (Believe me, the article was much worse when Sbard commented!). I think I will add this article to my ToDo list, and I'll try and add some plain old content to this.  Can you help with this, too? Thanks, [[User:Walkerma|Walkerma]] 04:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Rite Aid Ethyl Rubbing Alcohol
I bought a bottle of that stuff, and can you believe they had acetone, denatonium benzoate, AND methyl isobutyl ketone? You only need one of those to make it undrinkable, yet they loaded it with all three. Is that even safe to put on the skin? I usually put salicylic acid in a bottle of alcohol and use it as an astringent, but this stuff was like the ultimate solvent for it. Was much more acidic than normal, as if all the acid powder become totally dissolved. Way too strong. Is that normal for ketone and acetone? Are they far better solvents than isopropyl alcohol or diluted ethanol? Is this a common chemical to spike rubbing alcohol with, now? 66.178.144.154 (talk) 06:47, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's likely that acetone and methyl isobutyl ketone are added not to make it undrinkable, but rather to make it better at doing things people commonly use it for, such as removing nail polish. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:44, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Polarity statement is incorrect
The "Solvent and niche applications" states that "It has a similar polarity to ethyl acetate,..." which is not correct.

This article states for MIBK Dipole Moment 4.2 Debye.

The Wikipedia article on ethyl acetate (which is linked) gives a value of 1.78 D.

On a scale of ~0-11, these values are not similar.

Since neither value has a reference listed, I will have to wait until I can cross-check a chemistry textbook before making changes to the value or the statement, unless someone else can do this before me.

ScottHW (talk) 17:36, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Great catch and I look forward to your updating the article. I probably wrote the offending comment.  Polarity is not the same as dipole moment, at least to bench chemists, so maybe we should explain/correct the comment/context or just delete the offending statement. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:28, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

National Environment Agency

National Environment Agency (NEA) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment of the Government of Singapore.

The NEA is responsible for improving and sustaining a clean and green environment in Singapore. Its role is to fight pollution, maintain public health, and provide meteorological information.

On April 1, 2019, NEA's food related duties were absorbed by its successor Singapore Food Agency (SFA) which also absorbed the food related duties of two other statutory boards namely Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) and Health Sciences Authority (HSA). SFA is a statutory board under the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment.

Organization
NEA comprises three operational divisions:
 * Environmental Public Health
 * Environmental Protection
 * Meteorological Service Singapore

Environmental Public Health Divisions
The Environmental Public Health Division conducts comprehensive ground surveillance and takes preventive measures to ensure a high standard of public health and hygiene. It is responsible for the overall cleanliness in Singapore and imposes a high standard of hygiene requirements on the food retail industry. It also implements the Hawker Centres Upgrading Programme (HUP) and the Clean Public Toilets Programme. It enforces smoking ban in places such as hawker centres, food shops, shopping centres, factories and offices; and conducts vector control against mosquitoes and rats.

Environmental Protection Divisions
The Environmental Protection Division is responsible for implementing programmes to monitor, reduce and prevent environmental pollution. It is also responsible for providing refuse disposal services through four waste-to-energy incineration plants and an off-shore sanitary landfill. To conserve energy resources and landfill space, the division implements programmes to minimise waste generation, and maximise recycling and energy conservation.

Meteorological Service Singapore
The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) provides weather information to support public health and socio-economic activities. It also issues haze alerts and provides vital meteorological services to the aviation and maritime communities and the military. MSS is also on tsunami watch as part of a regional network set up after several coastal areas in Asia were devastated by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.

Dengue fever

NEA adopts a multi-pronged approach – which includes surveillance and enforcement, community outreach and education, and research, to tackle vector-borne diseases such as dengue fever. Most recently, it rolled out educational home visits, where NEA officers visit homes in areas where there are less than 10 dengue cases, to educate residents on how to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in their homes. During these visits, the officers will highlight all potential mosquito breeding grounds in that particular home and the corrective measures the resident needs to undertake. No enforcement action will be taken against the resident for any mosquito breeding found on such visits.

This approach has yielded good results, with Singapore successfully avoiding a serious dengue outbreak, as experienced in 2005 when 14,209 people were infected with the fever. From 2007 to 2011, the number of dengue cases were 8,826; 7,031; 4,497; 5,363; and 5,330 respectively.

Public hygiene and cleanliness
NEA plays an important role in overseeing the cleansing of public areas in Singapore. NEA takes a three-pronged approach to keeping our environment clean, which includes: Public Cleansing; Public Education and Enforcement. NEA maintain an effective system of public cleansing to keep Singapore clean and prevent environment-related diseases. The cleansing of public roads and pavements is largely carried out by contractors engaged by the NEA.

The NEA works closely with their "3P Partners" (the people, public and private sectors) to promote anti-littering practices and to encourage members of the community to take ownership of their litter and keep their surroundings clean. Regular checks on food establishments, swimming pools and public toilets are carried out to ensure that a high standard of hygiene is maintained.

Climate change and energy efficiency
In April 2006, Singapore announced accession to the Kyoto Protocol. As a non-Annex I country, Singapore does not have targets set under KP, but it is eligible to participate in carbon credit exchanges arising from approved Clean Development Mechanism projects conducted in the country. The National Environment Agency is the designated authority coordinating CDMs. It is also spearheading ongoing measures to encourage energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions.

In April 2008, NEA launched the 10% Energy Challenge to get households to cut their electricity consumption by at least 10%. As part of this campaign, NEA collaborated with grassroots organizations and charities to train volunteers to conduct energy audits and identify wasteful energy consumption habits.

On 11 September 2009, NEA signed a landmark Voluntary Agreement with 16 major retailers and suppliers, to provide more energy efficient appliances and encourage more Singapore households to purchase them.

Under the Voluntary Agreement, participating retailers and suppliers will voluntarily commit to achieving targets set out by the NEA, including retiring stock of energy inefficient models and introducing more 3- and 4-tick models, so that energy efficient models form at least 50% of their model range after six months, and 60% of their model range after one year. Signatories also voluntarily commit to promote energy efficient appliances, as well as improve the availability and affordability of energy efficient appliances available in their stores.

Waste management
Since independence, Singapore's growing population and economy have resulted in a large increase in solid waste. In 1970, about 1,300 tonnes per day of solid waste were disposed of. This increased to 7,000 tonnes per day by 2006, a six-fold increase from 1970.

To address the solid waste problem, Singapore has put in place an integrated solid waste management system that ensures that all waste that are not recycled, are collected and disposed of safely at waste-to-energy incineration plants or at the offshore sanitary landfill (Semakau Landfill) in the case of non-incinerable waste.

As a result, overall recycling rate has increased from 40% in 2000 to 56% in 2008. Waste growth has also been curtailed. The total waste (domestic and non-domestic) disposed of in 2008 was 7,179 tonnes per day, a 6% reduction as compared to 2000. As a result, the lifespan of Semakau Landfill has increased from 25–30 years to 35–40 years.

Talk:List of NHL records (team)

Individual Records?
Is the Individual Records section really be necessary in an article about team records? Why not move it to it's own "NHL Indivdual Records" article? NeoChaosX 04:24, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

The Vancouver Canucks have 6 different players with hat-tricks this season (2009-2010): Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Alex Burrows (2), Mason Raymond, Mikael Samuelsson, and Michael Grabner. I can't recall any team having 6 players with hat tricks in the years that I've been watching the NHL so I would think if it's not a record, it should be getting close. Does anyone have the resources to follow up on this? MantleX (talk) 07:25, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Should most shutouts be on this page as it is usually considered an individual stat? Eomund (talk) 17:26, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I have removed the section on shutouts Eomund (talk) 01:35, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Team shutouts is a NHL team record according to Canadiens records. However I agree that a photo of the goalie is inappropriate for a team record page.  I restored the record, but removed the photo.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.179.122 (talk) 06:53, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It is not kept as a team record at nhl.com and I would have to say I disagree with you. However, I will not remove it again unless other editors agree with me. Eomund (talk) 00:14, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't find any team records at nhl.com, however they do keep track of shut-outs by team. See here. 99.246.123.152 (talk) 03:46, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Three point era
I think that it would be interesting to list records since the three point era began. Wins, losses, and points are all influenced enough by this change, that it would at least be interesting to note here in a sub-section. For example, even the worst teams today have not chance of rivalling the fewest points totals. This is the kind of thing that wikipedia is good at: information overload on interesting but generally disregarded information.Peregrine981 (talk) 10:58, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comment, but this isn't a forum. It is a talk page. This page is used to discuss improvements to the article or to solve edit disputes.Conyo14 (talk) 03:46, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Undefeated Streak
What kind of record is Longest streak without failing to gain a point? You might as well call it Longest not not getting a point streak. I say change it back to Longest undefeated streak (like it was before the unexplained change in November 2010), and if you really want to, add a Longest points streak. Although, at this point it appears the record holders would be identical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrkwcz (talk • contribs) 20:21, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm going to change it back. —Mrkwcz (talk) 01:09, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Edmonton Oilers
Someone replaced a bunch of titleholders with the Edmonton Oilers. At first glance it seems like all the years and stats are still correct. Someone with more knowledge than me about NHL records should double-check everything though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.235.113 (talk) 12:25, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed. -DJSasso (talk) 13:55, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Please Add Season Records in Per Game Format As Well
Because the records span seasons of 48 to 84 games, it would be insightful to keep the current records, but also add records on a per game basis as well.

In addition, please clarify what is meant by the note "The length of the above seasons varies from 48 to 84 games". Does that mean that a 48 game season was a cutoff for record consideration, or just a coincidence in looking at all seasons stretching back to 1910? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.100.23.77 (talk) 14:11, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * It means that one of the records above happened during a 48 game season while others happened at 84 and some in between. -DJSasso (talk) 14:46, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Consider that in 1918-1919, the Ottawa Senators had a (combined) record of 12-6-0.  In addition, the 1929-1930 Boston Bruins had a record of 38-5-0.  And if you want to get really silly, then the Montreal Wanderers folded early in the 1917-1918 season due to their arena burning down and had a record of 1-5-0 -- and that 5th loss was because the league was slow in accepting their departure from the league. Both of those are fewer losses than 8 by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1976-1977 season.  I presume that record was intended to be since the first expansion.  -Phil (talk) 22:13, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The Montreal Wanderers' season doesn't technically count as a full season. But I agree. All games after the 1949-50 total up to 70 or more games so it's unfair to say however many losses a team had when there were fewer games played in season.Conyo14 (talk) 05:31, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Winning streaks
The 2012-2013 Blackhawks streak and the 1979-1980 Flyers streak were not WINNING streaks because they included ties. The longest winning streak is still owned by the 1992-1993 Penguins at 17 games. I've reverted the page to reflect this. --Jemiller226 (talk) 20:46, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you Jemiller226, and if this happens again, I have a reference to prove what the Blackhawks did in 2013 was merely a point streak.Conyo14 (talk) 03:44, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Best and worst records
There is a section for best home record and worst away record, but there isnt any for worst home and best away records. Any reason why? 72.15.25.104 (talk) 19:16, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Longest attendance sellout streak
Currently the Colorado Avalanche are listed as having the longest attendance sellout streak. However, the Montreal Canadiens have since broken this record. There is no reference on the matter, because back in December 2014 they didn't officially count Jean Béliveau's seat for a few games. As great as the gesture is, I think we can agree that the sellout feat should be recognized in some way.

As of January 21st, the sellout streak is up to 516 games. They have sold out every game since January 10th, 2004 (except the "Jean Béliveau tribute seat" for 7 games during the 2014-15 season). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsanterre (talk • contribs) 05:25, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Here are two references that shows Montreal's streak ended: and. Both of which say Montreal intentionally ended their sellout streak because of Jean Béliveau's seat being empty. There is no official reference to prove that they still have a consecutive record while there are already two that I have linked that prove otherwise. Although it is not officially recognized by the NHL (maybe), Colorado's record still stands to date as the longest consecutive sellout crowd.Conyo14 (talk) 02:49, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Fastest to 100 points.
Should we add the fastest to 100 points record? Bruins just did it in 61 games this season. 2601:193:8201:7140:C78:D78:BBFA:37BD (talk) 02:49, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Error in most shutout wins in a season
There is an error. The montreal canadien did in fact have 22 shutouts, but only 16 of them was wins. 6 of them were 0-0 ties. Someone needs to correct the mistake. PhilbonQC (talk) 15:53, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Purpendicular

Purpendicular is the fifteenth studio album by the English rock band Deep Purple, released on 5 February 1996. It is their first album with guitarist Steve Morse from Dixie Dregs, who replaced Ritchie Blackmore. The album entered the UK Charts on 17 February 1996, where it peaked at No. 58.

Recording
The album was recorded at Greg Rike Productions, Orlando, Florida from February to October 1995 and engineered by Darren Schneider and Keith Andrews. It had a more experimental approach than previous albums. The arrangement to "The Aviator", employed an acoustic folk/country arrangement that had not been heard on the band's previous work since "Anyone's Daughter" from Fireball. Several of the songs such as "Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic" featured less keyboard, focusing on guitar. Morse introduced pinch harmonics to the band's sound, such as on "Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic" and "Somebody Stole My Guitar". "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" and "Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic" remained regular features in Deep Purple's live setlist in recent tours.

Like the title of the band's following album, Abandon, Purpendicular is a pun; in this case, based on the band's name and the word "Perpendicular".

Personnel

 * Deep Purple
 * Ian Gillan – lead vocals, harmonica
 * Steve Morse – guitars, backing vocals
 * Jon Lord – keyboards
 * Roger Glover – bass
 * Ian Paice – drums

 * Production
 * Darren Schneider, Keith Andrews – engineers, mixing at Parc Studios, Orlando, Florida
 * Adam Barber – assistant engineer
 * Greg Calbi – mastering at Masterdisk, New York

G.992.2

In telecommunications, ITU G.992.2 (better known as G.lite) is an ITU standard for ADSL using discrete multitone modulation. G.lite does not strictly require the use of DSL filters, but like all variants of ADSL generally functions better with splitters.

G.lite is a modulation profile which can be selected on a DSLAM port by an ADSL provider and provides greater resistance to noise and tolerates longer loop lengths (DSLAM to customer distances) for a given bandwidth. Most ADSL modems and DSLAM ports support it, but it is not a typical default configuration. The transmission speed of G.lite (G.992.2) is 1.5 Mbit/s downstream and 512 kbit/s upstream.

The G.lite specification was an accelerated ITU-T effort to drive interoperability among vendors and was facilitated by the Universal ADSL Working Group, or UAWG. The G.lite standardization effort took a total of 11 months from start to finish, setting a new record for ANY standard effort within the ITU-T. The previous record had been the V.90 specification for analog modems, which took 18 months to complete. The UAWG consisted of three sets of members: Promoters, Supporters and Adopters. Intel, Compaq and Microsoft were able to rally the support of all of the US RBOCs and five of the largest international carriers (NTT, British Telecom, France Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, and Singapore Telecom), collectively representing the Promoters, to drive the major communications equipment manufacturers (the Supporters) to demonstrate interoperability of products based on the G.lite specification at SUPERCOMM in June 1999. Adopters represented the majority of the remaining companies in the communications industry that were committed to supporting the new technology specification.

Aryamehr

Aryamehr was the title used in the Pahlavi dynasty by Shahanshah Mohammad Reza Shah of Iran. It means Light of the Aryans.

History
Aryamehr was granted as a secondary title by a session of the joint Houses of Parliament (Majles) on 15 September 1965 to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran (reigning since he took the oath at the Majles on 17 September 1941), before his coronation at Teheran, 26 October 1967. The Pahlavis used it as an idealization of pre-Islamic Iran and foundation for anti-clerical monarchism, while the clerics used it to exalt "Iranian values" vis-à-vis Westernization. Demonstrating affinity with Orientalist views of the alleged "supremacy" of the Aryan peoples and the "mediocrity" of the Semitic peoples, Iranian nationalist discourse idealized pre-Islamic Achaemenid and Sassanid empires, whilst negating the Islamization of Persia during Islamic Caliphate era.

In 1965, the Shah ordered Mohammad Ali Mojtahedi to establish Aryamehr University of Technology. However, after the 1979 revolution It was renamed and currently known as the Sharif University named after Majid Sharif-Vaghefi.

Things named after Aryamehr were Āryāmehr Sports Complex including the Aryamehr Stadium, and the Šahyād Āryāmehr monumental gate.

Associated order

In 1873 Naser al-Din Shah Qajar of Qajar dynasty established the order of Aftab (order of the sun) restricted to female sovereigns or consorts (1st class) and princess ladies or women of high rank (2nd class). In 1939 the order was renamed to Nishan-I-khorschid. and finally the order was transformed into the Neshān-e Āryāmehr, Nešâne Āryāmehr or Nishān-i Āryāmehr, meaning 'the Order of Light of the Aryans' it become the third and last Imperial order of knighthood founded by the Shah on 26 September 1967 in honour of his consort, Empress Farah Diba, and restricted to ladies only. The first class was restricted to female Sovereigns or consorts of reigning rulers, the second class to princesses.

Talk:Antisense RNA

Purpose RNAi
WOuld'nt the presence of Reverse transcriptase cause a lot of antisense RNA to ocurr and signal the immune system when the cell began acting funny? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.227.177.126 (talk) 03:32, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Antisense causes RNAi?
Is the activation of the RNAi pathway by antisense simply causint the Antisense to be splices into RNAi fragments? Can someone be more specific?

While this is not the central dogma it appears to be a very significant aspect of gene function these fragments and edits appear to make the genome much more active place that we normally think.

Definition?
Maybe I'm confused, but it seems like (1) mRNA by definition codes for protein; anything antisense to it does not and is not mRNA, (2) it sounds like at least the first paragraph is talking about RNAi -- how is this different? I suspect this content should be merged either with RNAi or "Antisense RNA" (which should include microRNAs, and bacterial antisense RNAs). Other opinions? Zashaw 04:29, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, I have been thinking the same thing but did not get around to doing it. David D. 15:09, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I think the term 'antisense mRNA' is used not as an indication of protein-coding ability, but just to show that it is complementary to sense mRNA. Not a particulary accurate label, but the scientific community accepts it. I agree that some of the first paragraph sounds like RNAi, but there are other uses for antisense mRNA, so I disagree that the two articles should be merged. Perhaps the RNAi section from this article could be moved to RNAi? Xanin 13:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Very interesting. Are we talking about plants or animals? I'm not inclined to contribute much more than insight, but it would be easy enough to compose a sentence or two that at least summarizes the letter soup posted here where one would expect a definition of what the article is about.

Antisense techniques are distinct from RNAi. The description in the first paragraph applies to antisense techniques using single-stranded RNA. These techniques do not require the activity of the RNAi processing system (Drosha, Dicer, RISC). However, use of single-stranded RNA as antisense does involve the activity of RNase-H, an enzyme not required for RNAi. The requirement for entirely different cellular systems for their activity suggests to me that these topics (antisense RNA and RNAi) should be kept separate. Using the two approaches experimentally involves different advantages and disadvantages (for example, stimulation of toll-like receptor 3 by double-stranded RNA is not an issue when using single-stranded RNA). Antisense techniques were in use long before the discovery of RNAi; the field started with introduction of single-stranded DNA. Some organisms regulate gene expression by making natural antisense. Regarding the question of nomenclature, I agree that "antisense RNA" is a more accurate description but that there is a long history of using "antisense mRNA". User:JonMoulton 2 June 2006

Cis-natural Antisense transcripts
Hi, I think the page Cis-natural Antisense transcripts should probably be referred from here somehow. Does anyone fancy writing the section? Ka Faraq Gatri (talk) 23:13, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, and it's a nice article. Added a 'See also' link for now  Je b us 9 8 9  ✰ 15:21, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Article Should be Better Written
This article needs to be improved with traditional use of grammar and punctuation... Stevenmitchell (talk) 22:08, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Any examples? I've briefly checked it over and it seems acceptable  Jebus989 ✰ 10:14, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

aRNA acronym?
I have corrected the edit for aRNA for antisense RNA as the majority of references I have looked at instead use asRNA? [e.g http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22268863]. I have not come across any that use aRNA. I could quite well be wrong though. Apologies if so Jennifer_Rfm (talk) 09:57, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Propose merging antisense therapy into this article. Neither article is well-developed at the moment and interest in the therapy angle has largely moved on to alternative approaches, so the therapy article is unlikely to develop much further, though at the moment it's actually more up to date than this one. Will do this when I get around to it if no one substantively objects. Opabinia regalis (talk) 04:59, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I disagree with merging antisense therapy into this article. I think that Antisense Therapy can stand on its own even if needing improvement, because it's a quick and easy way to get an overview of what that term means and provides links for those readers who want more detail.Lenoregail (talk) 11:52, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Error
I think the image used here is wrong as I believe the asRNA has the sequence complimentary to protein traslating RNA that is the same sequence as the template strand unlike what is shown in the picture.Link to the article.

Summary
Box art for Super Star Wars

Fair use rationale
Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article Super Star Wars
 * The image has been previously published
 * This image has been used in several websites, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
 * The image is used to illustrate the game and does not detract from the game
 * The image does not limit the ability to sell the game
 * The image is of low resolution and not suitable for reproduction

New Caledonia national rugby league team

The New Caledonia rugby league team represents the French territory of New Caledonia at rugby league football and has been participating in international competition since 2003. Rugby League in New Caledonia is run under the auspices of the French Rugby League Federation, the Fédération Française de Rugby à Treize.

Rugby League in New Caledonia started with the defection of dissatisfied rugby union clubs. In 2004, New Caledonia hosted a tour by the Australian Universities Rugby League team.

In August 2003 New Caledonia travelled to Australia to play their first international rugby league game against Greece at Norford Park, Sydney. New Caledonia put in a respectable performance for a new league playing nation on tour against a Greek side who had many Australian players in their ranks. It took New Caledonia 32 minutes to cross the line but eventually Greece ran away with the game 26 - 10. March 2004 saw the touring Greek side visit New Caledonia to assist with League development in the pacific area. In the one-off game played at Paitai Stadium in front of over 1200 spectators, New Caledonia were no match for a Greek side with the likes of Steve Georgallis in the ranks. The final score was 56 - 8 to the Greeks. In October 2004 New Caledonia entered the Pacific Cup competition. They were grouped with Samoa and American Samoa. New Caledonia suffered some heavy defeats and did not progress into the finals. New Caledonia were scheduled to take part in the 2006 Pacific Cup. For unknown reasons they pulled out of the tournament one week before it was due to start. They were subsequently replaced by Tokelau. Dimitri Pelo who represented France in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup was originally from New Caledonia. The Pacific nation gets plenty of exposure to Rugby League via NRL and International games that are beamed into the Pacific via free to Air TV. The recent Rugby League World Cup will hopefully provide more funding to assist with the continued development of the sport in the pacific.

2003

 * Greece 26-10 New Caledonia (August)

2004

 * Greece 58-8 New Caledonia (6 March)

2004 Pacific Cup

 * Samoa 76-0 New Caledonia (20 October)
 * American Samoa 62-6 New Caledonia (23 October)

Klendathu
This is an article about a fictional planet in a science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein. I don't think it's notable in any way. Bcrowell 04:51, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Starship Troopers. Hamster Sandwich 06:02, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep (and expand, if possible) - admittedly, I'm an inclusionist, but, these poor Category:Starship Troopers folks don't have their own HeinlienWiki, and it has SIX legitimate pages pointing to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric Shalov (talk • contribs) 03:34, July 20, 2005
 * Keep; there are plenty of articles on Wikipedia that are at a simliar level of "notoriety", and unlike a physical encyclopedia, there's really not much of a limit on how large this one can grow, so there's no need to delete minor but genuine articles. Atlant 11:23, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Starship Troopers as per WP:FICT. Dcarrano 12:53, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, needs expansion and a bit of a clean up. The ST and ST movie pages are long enough already and this would look out of place if merged. -- Lochaber 13:47, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect, as standard practice for fiction. -R. fiend 14:58, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into a "list of planets in Starship Troopers". If it's not merged into a list of planets, then rename to Klendathu_(Starship_Troopers) to make it distinguishable and keep the Wikipedia semi-neat. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 15:20, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge as per WP:FICT --Carnildo 22:58, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge into Starship Troopers article - the Starship Troopers universe (as written by Heinlein) is as valid and notable as Trek and Star Wars. Note: User bias: Heinlein fan ~ WCFrancis 23:50, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, nothing wrong with it Proto t c 08:57, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as above. Radiant_ >|< 12:33, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. One novel and two movies (both made, IIRC, after Heinlein was dead and with little or no input from his estate) don't exactly make a "Starship Troopers Universe" - certainly not in the same category as ST or SW.  Heinlein's works about Lazarus Long might be, however. Soundguy99 15:54, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
