Mathematics edits
About your recent edits to Mathematics: I am not one who carefully watches that article reverting anything that changes it in a major way, but I can tell you that your edits did not improve the article in my opinion (in other words, there were major problems with the content) and were rightly reverted. Paul August's edit summary "(reverting two large undiscussed edits which completely rewrote the the lead and history sections)" was not trying to justify the revert on the basis of the size of the edits, he was just describing what kind of edits he was reverting. While reverts might sometimes be applied merely on the basis of the size of the edit, in my opinion that is not what happened in this case. Also, please note that there is a Three-revert rule which might come into play if you continue to revert back to your version. - dcljr (talk) 17:26, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Vikvik, regarding your recent edits to the Mathematics article, it is a good idea, if you intend to make large edits to an article like this (long history, lots of editors and much debated) to first discuss your intended changes on the articles talk page here: Talk:Mathematics. In fact it would be best if you read through that page, and some of its archives (listed at the top), to get an idea what has been going on in this article. Please don't be discouraged or offended by the fact that your first edits were reverted. It might be that many of your ideas can be included in the article, but for such extensive and drastic changes, you will probably have to gain a consensus for them on talk pages first. You might want to begin by saying what you find wrong with the sections that you deleted. Anyway I encourage you to bring your ideas to the mathematics article's talk page. You also might want to consider joining our mathematics project: WikiProject Mathematics. So again, welcome to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Paul August ☎ 17:47, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * I think you can start by pointing the flaws in the mathematics article on talk:mathematics . Let us see what people say. I understand that this does not sound very as a great beginning, but if we just write articles without talking, you will write your version, then somebody else will rewrite it, and this will go on forever.

 * It is not about first-comers, is about the most reasonable ideas and compromise.

 * We are a rather friendly communty in here (unlike what you may think). So give us a chance. :) Oleg Alexandrov 23:18, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I can repeat my critics in talk:mathematics, but I thought it is better to suggest an alternative. And then it got such an overwhelming rejection... I believe sometimes it is impossible to move by making minor improvements, we just have to choose between this or that author's position. So it would be interesting to know: do you personally (disregarding procedural questions for a moment) like the current version better then mine? vikvik, 20 July 2005

 * I find your version of the introduction rather abstract. You are basically trying to say that math is only about relationships between objects and using logic. While that is true, I find this too heavy-handed for an introduction.

 * The current version (not your version) also talks about abstraction, but below, and shows how it developed historically, and takes it one step at a time. I think more could be added there from what you wrote.

 * Your second part, about history, is OK, but seems to be rather complicated for an entry article about math.

 * In conclusion, I think if some of what you wrote is a bit shortened and simplified, it could go in the history section. And I'd like to keep the current introduction the way it is.

 * What if you post a verision of the history part on talk:mathematics, we can hack on it, then integrate in the main article? Oleg Alexandrov 00:53, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

List of basic linguistic topics
Doing good work there :) It'll give people a good start, and provide a list of articles that need to be improved. A few of them are just stubs. - FrancisTyers 13:08, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

cognates
What is the difference between a false cognate and a false friend?--Rockero 21:33, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The terms are frequently confused for each other. In the strictest sense, cognates are words in different languages that come from the same ancestral root.  False cognates are words which look like they are cognates, but are not.
 * False friends are words in different languages that look very similar (and may be either real cognates or false cognates), but mean very different things. False friends are a common source of errors for people learning a second language. Sacundim 21:54, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Transportación
Yes, I know. It is a "pseudoanglicism". The term is accepted by DRAE but it has been in disuse for two or three centuries. My point was that it did not become common again till around 20-30 years ago, due to contact with English. See --Asterion 17:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

WPTL todo
I recently constructed an attempt at a more organized WikiProject Theoretical Linguistics open tasks template, but I haven't received any responses on the project talk page. If you could take a look at the test: User:Mitchoyoshitaka/WPTL todo and comment on it, I'd greatly appreciate any feedback or criticism! mitcho/芳貴 02:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

English Spelling Reform
I think somebody needs to rewrite the article. It does not present a balanced view of modern spelling reform efforts. I believe readers will have wasted their time reading both Spelling Reform articles. And since Wiki has such a big web presence, its bogarting the subject from the legitimate reform websites.JO 753 18:31, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Theoretical Linguistics
Hello, I am trying to bring WP:WikiProject Theoretical Linguistics back to semi-active status. Toward that end, I have moved all members who have not posted to the project page in the past six months to a section, "Inactive members." If you wish to be active in the project, I hope you will move your name back to the section, "Members." You may also remove your name if you are no longer interested in the project.

Casey Sorrow

Casey Sorrow is an American cartoonist, illustrator, and printmaker.

Fetus-X
Sorrow's early comic collaboration with Eric Millikin, Fetus-X, was run for a short time in Michigan State University's The State News in 2000. After the Catholic League protested the comic and then MSU president M. Peter McPherson declared he wanted it banned, the comic strip was removed for being too controversial. During the controversy over the comic, many people protested on both sides of the issue.

Those who were against the comic protested on religious grounds. One said, "As a born-again Christian, I just wanted to notify the writers of “Fetus-X” that the comic strip [is] very offensive. ... I pray that one day you will come to know the power of the cross." Another warned, "Do you remember what happened when they said, 'not even God can sink the Titanic?' There are certain things you just don’t joke about. ... keep your blasphemy to yourself."

Those in favor of the comic said that "I would not hesitate to liken 'Fetus-X' to the Black Sabbath of comic strips ... It is the courage, imagination and talent of both the band and the strip that will set them apart from the other flavors of the week and earn them both places in artistic history." And: "It's frustrating to see the ultimate goal of political correctness gain precedence over the basic principle that Casey Sorrow and Eric Millikin have the artistic right to their own opinions."

The comic was also published in other student newspapers like the University Reporter.

The Cats of Copenhagen
In 2012, Sorrow illustrated the first printed edition of James Joyce's The Cats of Copenhagen, where Sorrow's pen and ink hand-drawings were made into clichés typographiques and printed on a rare American-built Vandercook SP 33 proofing press for the first edition. In October 2012, Simon & Schuster published the first U.S. edition through Scribner. As of 2014, Sorrow's illustrations have been featured in 8 different international language editions, including an Italian version published by Psichogios Publications, a Greek version be Giunti Editore, a Danish version by Gyldendal, and a Chinese version by Chein Hsing Publishing. American fashion magazine Vogue described The Cats of Copenhagen as "charmingly illustrated" and a perfect gift for anarchists.

Finn's Hotel
In 2013, Sorrow's illustrations were again featured in first printing of a James Joyce book, Finn's Hotel published by Ithys Press. Sorrow's illustrations are also featured in the international editions in Spanish by Editorial Losada,  Italian by Gallucci,  Greek by Psichogios Publications, Portuguese by Compahnia das Letras,   and German by Suhrkamp Verlag. The illustrations for Finn's Hotel have been described as fun and relevant with a child's naivety.

Bestiary of Fantastic Creatures
In January 2014, Sorrow successfully funded a Kickstarter for an OSR-style RPG bestiary of monsters, "Bestiary of Fantastic Creatures Volume 1: Bizarre Monsters", written and illustrated by Sorrow. The book is described by Sorrow's publishing house, Bull Cock Press, as "a small collection of uniquely illustrated creatures produced to be compatible with the format of traditional table-top role-playing games playable with paper and pencil". It was released to the general public in June 2014, in both a physical and PDF format. Reviews describe the bestiary as "awesomely illustrated" with creatures that "feel fun, and look epic", "an old school monster manual from the times when monsters still were imaginative and the art was personal and cool", and a little volume of strange monsters that not only is "Fiend Folio-good, it's Fiend Factory good".

Other works
Sorrow's illustrations have appeared in publications like The New York Times.

Sorrow is also known as the creator of December 14's unofficial holiday, Monkey Day.

Sorrow attended art school at Michigan State University, where his artwork often focused on screen prints of flaming skulls.

Bò nướng lá lốt

Thịt bò nướng lá lốt ("grilled beef, in lolot leaf") or thịt bò lá lốt ("beef, leaf of lolot"), bò nướng lá lốt is a dish consisting of Vietnamese beef in lolot leaves, which are called "betel" leaves by some English magazines. The leaves smell spicy but have a medicinal taste. The food is often served or sold at barbecues, and is the 5th out of 7 courses in the multi-course meal Bò 7 món. There is a northern version called chả lá lốt using pork instead of beef and often pan-fried instead of grilled.

In Southern Vietnam, the lolot leaf is also called lá lốt.

Bò lá lốt is often topped with crushed roasted peanuts and green onions, or served with lettuce, mint leaves, daikon and carrot pickles, and vermicelli noodles, dipped in nước mắm pha (Vietnamese dipping sauce).

I kept an eye on things when I went back home and, when the title race was heating up, I wanted to come back and help in any way that I could." She also made a substitute appearance in the 2022 FAI Women's Cup Final, as Shelbourne beat Athlone Town 2–0 to secure a League and Cup Double.

North Carolina Courage U23, 2023–
O'Reilly returned to the North Carolina Courage organization in 2023 to serve as a player-coach for its amateur USL W League side, joking that the team would have to change its name from "North Carolina Courage U23" to "North Carolina Courage U39".

2004 Athens Olympics
After recovering from a broken fibula from a match the year before, O'Reilly made the national team roster for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. At nineteen years old, she was the youngest player on the roster. On August 23, 2004, she scored the match winning goal in the Olympic semi-final match against Germany, propelling the United States into the final, in which they defeated Brazil for the gold medal.

2008 Beijing Olympics
O'Reilly competed at the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic games. She scored the quickest goal in Olympic women's soccer history against New Zealand to advance to the quarterfinals. She also scored a goal in the semi-final match against Japan. The team went on to defeat heavy-favorites Brazil 1–0 to win the gold medal. Prior to the Summer Games, Time magazine ranked her number 15 on its list of 100 Olympic Athletes to Watch.

To some controversy, she was left off the team by Jill Ellis and made an alternate for the 2016 Rio Olympics even with having the most caps of the squad at the time (229). The U.S. national team went on to achieve its worst Olympic finish, being knocked out by Sweden in the quarter-finals.

Retirement, 2016
On September 1, 2016, O'Reilly announced her retirement from the Women's National Team after 15 years. She retired on September 15 after a friendly match against Thailand, held in Columbus, Ohio, after the USWNT scored 9 goals.

Magazines
In 2008, Time listed profiled O'Reilly as the No. 15 Olympic Athlete to Watch in their list of 100 Olympic Athletes To Watch. She has been featured in Fitness, Shape, Teen Vogue, Sports Illustrated, and Boston Magazine.

Video games
O'Reilly was featured along with her national teammates in the EA Sports' FIFA video game series in FIFA 16, the first time women players were included in the game.

Ticker tape parade and White House honors
Following the United States' win at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, O'Reilly and her teammates became the first women's sports team to be honored with a ticker tape parade in New York City. Each player received a key to the city from Mayor Bill de Blasio. In October of the same year, the team was honored by President Barack Obama at the White House.

Television and film
O'Reilly has made appearances with her national teammates on Late Night with David Letterman, The Today Show, The Rachel Maddow Show and Good Morning America. She was featured in the film, Winning Isn't Everything about the women's soccer program at the University of North Carolina.

Radio and other media
O'Reilly began cohosting the BBC World Service's BBC World Football program with Mani Djazmi, Pat Nevin, and Peter Odemwingie when the program changed formats in 2018. She is also now the co-host of “Played In” on SiriusXM FC with Lori Lindsey.

Personal life
O'Reilly married former UNC lacrosse player Dave Werry in 2011, whom she met when the two attended UNC. Their son William was born on June 18, 2020. O'Reilly gave birth to their second child, Jack, on November 26, 2021.

She is nicknamed "HAO," the initials of her name (Heather Ann O'Reilly) and pronounced 'hey-oh'.

O'Reilly has endorsement deals with Adidas. In 2013, she appeared in a commercial for Adidas' Adizero™ running shoe.

Vladimir Paley

Prince Vladimir Pavlovich Paley (Князь Владимир Павлович Палей; 9 January 1897 – 18 July 1918) was a Russian nobleman and poet who was murdered by the Bolsheviks when he was 21 years old.

Life
He was born as Vladimir von Pistohlkors in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on 9 January 1897. His father was Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia, the youngest child of Emperor Alexander II. His mother was his father's mistress, Olga Valerianovna Karnovich, who was still married to Erich Gerhard von Pistohlkors at that time. He was nicknamed "Volodia" by his family.

In 1902, Grand Duke Paul—-a widower after his short marriage to Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark, with whom he had two children before her premature death in childbirth-—wed Olga morganatically. In 1904, she was created Countess von Hohenfelsen by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria, thus providing Vladimir with the title of Count Vladimir von Hohenfelsen. In 1915, Olga was created Princess Paley by Nicholas II, which allowed Vladimir to use the title of Prince Paley.

Prince Vladimir had two elder half-siblings from his father's marriage to Alexandra Georgievna of Greece, née Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark: Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia and Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich of Russia. His birth and existence was hidden from them for the first five years of his life. His half-sister found out about Vladimir from a photograph hidden in their father's pocket. He had two full sisters, both of whom eventually were styled as Her Serene Highness Princess Paley: Irina Pavlovna and Natalia Pavlovna. He also had three half-siblings from his mother's first marriage: Alexander Erikovich von Pistohlkors, Olga Erikovna von Pistohlkors, and Marianna Erikovna (or Marianne) von Pistohlkors.

He spent his childhood in Paris and later graduated from the Corps des Pages, an aristocratic military school in Saint Petersburg. In December 1914, he entered the regiment of the Emperor’s Hussars and fought with the Russian army in the First World War. He was promoted to lieutenant and decorated as a war hero with the Order of Saint Anne.

Even as a teenager, he showed remarkable talent as a poet. He published two volumes of poetry (1916 and 1918) and wrote several plays and essays, as well as a French translation of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovitch's play, The King of the Jews.

In the summer of 1917, he and his family were placed for a short time under house arrest by the Provisional Government, because of a poem he wrote about Aleksandr Kerensky. In March 1918, he was arrested by the Bolsheviks and sent to exile in Vyatka, and later in Ekaterinburg and Alapaevsk. He was brutally murdered in a mineshaft near Alapaevsk, together with his cousins Prince Ioann Konstantinovich of Russia, Prince Konstantine Konstantinovich of Russia, Prince Igor Konstantinovich of Russia, and other relatives. Their bodies were recovered by the Imperial White Army and placed in coffins, then moved around during fighting with the Red Army. They were brought and buried months later at the Russian Mission Orthodox cemetery in Beijing, China, the site of which was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and is now a parking area.

Legacy
A biography of Prince Vladimir Paley by Andrey Baranovsky was published in 1997 in Russian, and another (A Poet Among The Romanovs) by Jorge F. Saenz was published in 2004, in both Russian and English. He is now venerated by the Russian Orthodox Church as a Saint and martyr.

His elder half-sister Maria described him extensively in her memoirs: "'Volodia was an extraordinary being, a living instrument of rare sensitiveness which could of itself produce sounds of startling melody and purity and create a world of bright images and harmonies. He confirmed the theory that exceptional children are born of a great and exceptional love. When he was still a baby there was something indefinable about him that set him apart from the others. When he was a child, in fact, I considered him a nuisance, affected, and priggish. But later I understood that he was a being older than his years lost in the milieu to which his age assigned him. His parents saw how different he was from the others and wisely did not try to shape him according to pattern as had been done with us. They allowed him comparative freedom to develop his unusual abilities. While still a child he wrote good verse and very fine plays, to be actred by his small sisters. He played the piano; he painted; and at a very early age astounded people by his extensive reading and his extraordinary memory.'"

Abrupt climate change

An abrupt climate change occurs when the climate system is forced to transition at a rate that is determined by the climate system energy-balance. The transition rate is more rapid than the rate of change of the external forcing, though it may include sudden forcing events such as meteorite impacts. Abrupt climate change therefore is a variation beyond the variability of a climate. Past events include the end of the Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse, Younger Dryas, Dansgaard–Oeschger events, Heinrich events and possibly also the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum. The term is also used within the context of climate change to describe sudden climate change that is detectable over the time-scale of a human lifetime. Such a sudden climate change can be the result of feedback loops within the climate system or tipping points in the climate system.

Scientists may use different timescales when speaking of abrupt events. For example, the duration of the onset of the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum may have been anywhere between a few decades and several thousand years. In comparison, climate models predict that under ongoing greenhouse gas emissions, the Earth's near surface temperature could depart from the usual range of variability in the last 150 years as early as 2047.

Definitions
Abrupt climate change can be defined in terms of physics or in terms of impacts: "In terms of physics, it is a transition of the climate system into a different mode on a time scale that is faster than the responsible forcing. In terms of impacts, an abrupt change is one that takes place so rapidly and unexpectedly that human or natural systems have difficulty adapting to it. These definitions are complementary: the former gives some insight into how abrupt climate change comes about; the latter explains why there is so much research devoted to it."

Timescales
Timescales of events described as abrupt may vary dramatically. Changes recorded in the climate of Greenland at the end of the Younger Dryas, as measured by ice-cores, imply a sudden warming of +10 C-change within a timescale of a few years. Other abrupt changes are the +4 C-change on Greenland 11,270 years ago or the abrupt +6 C-change warming 22,000 years ago on Antarctica.

By contrast, the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum may have initiated anywhere between a few decades and several thousand years. Finally, Earth System's models project that under ongoing greenhouse gas emissions as early as 2047, the Earth's near surface temperature could depart from the range of variability in the last 150 years.

Past events

Several periods of abrupt climate change have been identified in the paleoclimatic record. Notable examples include:

 * About 25 climate shifts, called Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles, which have been identified in the ice core record during the glacial period over the past 100,000 years.
 * The Younger Dryas event, notably its sudden end. It is the most recent of the Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles and began 12,900 years ago and moved back into a warm-and-wet climate regime about 11,600 years ago. It has been suggested that "the extreme rapidity of these changes in a variable that directly represents regional climate implies that the events at the end of the last glaciation may have been responses to some kind of threshold or trigger in the North Atlantic climate system." A model for this event based on disruption to the thermohaline circulation has been supported by other studies.
 * The Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, timed at 55 million years ago, which may have been caused by the release of methane clathrates, although potential alternative mechanisms have been identified. This was associated with rapid ocean acidification
 * The Permian–Triassic Extinction Event, in which up to 95% of all species became extinct, has been hypothesized to be related to a rapid change in global climate. Life on land took 30 million years to recover.
 * The Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse occurred 300 million years ago, at which time tropical rainforests were devastated by climate change. The cooler, drier climate had a severe effect on the biodiversity of amphibians, the primary form of vertebrate life on land.

There are also abrupt climate changes associated with the catastrophic draining of glacial lakes. One example of this is the 8.2-kiloyear event, which is associated with the draining of Glacial Lake Agassiz. Another example is the Antarctic Cold Reversal, c. 14,500 years before present (BP), which is believed to have been caused by a meltwater pulse probably from either the Antarctic ice sheet or the Laurentide Ice Sheet. These rapid meltwater release events have been hypothesized as a cause for Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles,

A 2017 study concluded that similar conditions to today's Antarctic ozone hole (atmospheric circulation and hydroclimate changes), ~17,700 years ago, when stratospheric ozone depletion contributed to abrupt accelerated Southern Hemisphere deglaciation. The event coincidentally happened with an estimated 192-year series of massive volcanic eruptions, attributed to Mount Takahe in West Antarctica.

Possible precursors
Most abrupt climate shifts are likely due to sudden circulation shifts, analogous to a flood cutting a new river channel. The best-known examples are the several dozen shutdowns of the North Atlantic Ocean's Meridional Overturning Circulation during the last ice age, affecting climate worldwide.

It has been postulated that teleconnections – oceanic and atmospheric processes on different timescales – connect both hemispheres during abrupt climate change.
 * The current warming of the Arctic, the duration of the summer season, is considered abrupt and massive.
 * Antarctic ozone depletion caused significant atmospheric circulation changes.
 * There have also been two occasions when the Atlantic's Meridional Overturning Circulation lost a crucial safety factor. The Greenland Sea flushing at 75 °N shut down in 1978, recovering over the next decade. Then the second-largest flushing site, the Labrador Sea, shut down in 1997 for ten years. While shutdowns overlapping in time have not been seen during the 50 years of observation, previous total shutdowns had severe worldwide climate consequences.

Climate feedback effects

One source of abrupt climate change effects is a feedback process, in which a warming event causes a change that adds to further warming. The same can apply to cooling. Examples of such feedback processes are:

The probability of abrupt change for some climate related feedbacks may be low. Factors that may increase the probability of abrupt climate change include higher magnitudes of global warming, warming that occurs more rapidly and warming that is sustained over longer time periods.
 * Ice–albedo feedback in which the advance or retreat of ice cover alters the albedo ("whiteness") of the earth and its ability to absorb the sun's energy.
 * Soil carbon feedback is the release of carbon from soils in response to global warming.
 * The dying and the burning of forests by global warming.

Tipping points in the climate system
Possible tipping elements in the climate system include regional effects of climate change, some of which had abrupt onset and may therefore be regarded as abrupt climate change. Scientists have stated, "Our synthesis of present knowledge suggests that a variety of tipping elements could reach their critical point within this century under anthropogenic climate change".

Volcanism
Isostatic rebound in response to glacier retreat (unloading) and increased local salinity have been attributed to increased volcanic activity at the onset of the abrupt Bølling–Allerød warming. They are associated with the interval of intense volcanic activity, hinting at an interaction between climate and volcanism: enhanced short-term melting of glaciers, possibly via albedo changes from particle fallout on glacier surfaces.

Impacts

In the past, abrupt climate change has likely caused wide-ranging and severe impacts as follows:
 * Mass extinctions, most notably the Permian–Triassic extinction event (often referred colloquially to as the Great Dying) and the Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse, have been suggested as a consequence of abrupt climate change.
 * Loss of biodiversity: without interference from abrupt climate change and other extinction events, the biodiversity of Earth would continue to grow.
 * Changes in ocean circulation such as:
 * Increasing frequency of El Niño events
 * Potential disruption to the thermohaline circulation, such as that which may have occurred during the Younger Dryas event.
 * Changes to the North Atlantic oscillation
 * Changes in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which could contribute to more severe weather events.
