Sneer

A sneer is a facial expression of scorn or disgust characterized by a slight raising of one corner of the upper lip, known also as curling the lip or turning up the nose. In The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals, Charles Darwin defined a "sneer" as "the upper lip being retracted in such a manner that the canine tooth on one side of the face alone is shown" Darwin related the sneer to the snarl observed in non-human animals, particularly carnivores, observing that:

 * The uncovering of the canine tooth is the result of a double movement. The angle or corner of the mouth is drawn a little backwards, and at the same time a muscle which runs parallel to and near the nose draws up the outer part of the upper lip, and exposes the canine on this side of the face. The contraction of this muscle makes a distinct furrow on the cheek, and produces strong wrinkles under the eye, especially at its inner corner. The action is the same as that of a snarling dog; and a dog when pretending to fight often draws up the lip on one side alone, namely that facing his antagonist.

It is suggested that the sneer is a universal expression of contempt and that Darwin was the first to observe this. Cats may be observed to sneer, though this is probably related to the Flehmen response.

In popular culture

 * In Wuthering Heights Emily Brontë used the sneer—as perceived by the novel's narrator, the housekeeper Ellen Dean ("Nelly")—to epitomize the personality of Heathcliff, the lead character. 'My amiable lady!' he interrupted, with an almost diabolical sneer on his face. 'Where is she - my amiable lady?' (Chapter 2)|'Have you been listening at the door, Edgar?' asked the mistress, in a tone particularly calculated to provoke her husband, implying both carelessness and contempt of his irritation. Heathcliff, who had raised his eyes at the former speech, gave a sneering laugh at the latter (Chapter 11)|'Yes, she's dead!' I answered, checking my sobs and drying my cheeks. 'Gone to heaven, I hope; where we may, every one, join her, if we take due warning and leave our evil ways to follow good!'

'Did she take due warning, then?' asked Heathcliff, attempting a sneer. 'Did she die like a saint? (Chapter 16)|'Heathcliff did not glance my way, and I gazed up, and contemplated his features almost as confidently as if they had been turned to stone. His forehead, that I once thought so manly, and that I now think so diabolical, was shaded with a heavy cloud; his basilisk eyes were nearly quenched by sleeplessness, and weeping, perhaps, for the lashes were wet then: his lips devoid of their ferocious sneer, and sealed in an expression of unspeakable sadness. Had it been another, I would have covered my face in the presence of such grief. In his case, I was gratified; and, ignoble as it seems to insult a fallen enemy, I couldn't miss this chance of sticking in a dart: his weakness was the only time when I could taste the delight of paying wrong for wrong.' (Chapter 17)| I could doubt no more: he was dead and stark!

I hasped the window; I combed his black long hair from his forehead; I tried to close his eyes: to extinguish, if possible, that frightful, life-like gaze of exultation before any one else beheld it. They would not shut: they seemed to sneer at my attempts; and his parted lips and sharp white teeth sneered too! (Chapter 34)
 * The horror genre actor Vincent Price delivered his characters' lines with a trademark sneer.
 * Punk rock musician Billy Idol is also known for a trademark sneer.
 * In the Harry Potter stories, Draco Malfoy and his father are notorious for their sinister sneers, which represent these characters' sense of entitlement over and contempt for those judged lacking in monetary, power, or family status.
 * More than one commentator has depicted pop culture judicial panels such as those seen on American Idol and Britain's Got Talent as regularly sneering upon their hapless contestants.
 * The cartoon character Cyril Sneer from the Canadian series The Raccoons has a sneer as his namesake.
 * Former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney's political opponents have at times perceived him as looking upon them with a sneer.

Anyone familiar with Balsa want to add it to Comparison of email clients??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deeahbz (talk • contribs) 06:22, 11 July 2005

Notability?
What's up with the notability tagging? Last time I checked, Balsa was a pretty well-known mail client. I don't use it myself, but it's bundled by Debian, for example: http://packages.debian.org/stable/balsa JöG (talk) 19:41, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree. It is a long established full function gui email client for the Gnome desktop. Evolution, often now touted as Gnome's main email client, is focused on groupware/email, oriented to a corporate environment, rather than those seeking single-user email. Balsa has certain important features that Evolution and many other email clients lack. (e.g. support for all 3 main local email storage formats.) As well as Debian noted above, Balsa is also included with Fedora, OpenSuse, and Ubuntu (major Linux distributions), as well as Slackware, Openmandriva, and Rosa, among others. Balsa would be generally included with Linux distributions that offer the Gnome desktop, which would be most (if not all) major Linux distributions. André437 (talk) 05:34, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Crime Syndicate of America

Untitled
consensus on Heroclix info relocation/removal was reached at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics. dfg 17:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Spelling
The spelling America is incorrect. It should be Amerika. In the story, President Benedict Arnold of the U.S. Amerika invades the British to bring it under Amerika's rule.

 * If memory serves (and it may not at the moment ... I need to check Crisis on Multiple Earths, Volume 1 to make sure), the original version was America. The version with the "k" is the JLA: Earth-2 spelling. --Joe Sewell 16:15, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

 * The original spelling was "America", and stayed that way from the Crime Syndicate's 1964 introduction through the late 90's "Earth-2" graphic novel's introduction of the "Amerika" spelling. Thus, both are technically correct, though the "America" spelling is the more common one (given its longevity and use in most discussions of the Crime Syndicate). Anthony Dean 01:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Dispute regarding the identity of three CSA earth heroes.
"The Justice League Adventures comic issue 6 featured a story of the Justice Leaguers assuming the identities of villains Chronos (Batman), Solomon Grundy (Superman), Catwoman (Wonder Woman), Parasite (J'Onn J'Onzz), The Warp (Flash), Roxy Rocket (Hawkgirl) and Count Vertigo (Green Lantern). They would keep those costumes in the Watchtower after that. The JLA Earth 2 special featured those costumes in the CSA Watchtower, three of them labeled "Doctor Noon", "White Cat" and "Spaceman", a take on Chronos, Catwoman and Warp."

I find this highly doubtful as Justice League Adventures is based on the animated show's continuity. What I would imagine is more likely are the following analogues.

Doctor Noon = Doctor Midnight White Cat = Black Canary

Those two I think should be fairly obvious to a knowledgeable DC comics fan. The third one I had to think about a bit but I've come to the conclusion that

Spaceman = Adam Strange.

My reasoning is thus, in the DC Universe Adam Strange was an archeologist who was struck by an alien teleportation device called a Zeta Beam that transported him to the planet Rann where he became that planet's champion. My hunch is that Spaceman is a Rannian who was teleported via Zeta Beam to earth in the antimatter universe.

Toriach 13:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Could somebody add information pertaining to the evil counterparts of the Superbuddies seen in I Can't Belive It's Not Justice League? -Bondage Queen Mary Marvel -Slave Boy Captain Marvel -Giant kaiju-sized G'nort -Stripper Sue Dibny (who said her husband was a loser) -Killer stripper Ice (who killed the universe's fire) -Dumb bartender Booostir -Goony Metamorpho -Bouncer Oberon

Change title back to "Crime Syndicate of America"?
The choice to change to title just to "Crime syndicate" was apparently made to avoid picking between "Crime Syndicate of America" and "Crime Syndicate of Amerika", but the problem is that the term "crime syndicate" has a widely-recognized use outside of comics, it refers to actual organized criminal organizations such as the mafia. I think the title should either be changed back to "Crime Syndicate of America" (the original version of this organization), or changed to "Crime Syndicate (comics)" (but this is still questionable, since there are other examples of crime syndicates in comics). Hypnosifl 00:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

 * OK, I'm going to go ahead and change it back for the reasons above. Hypnosifl 20:35, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Change in Team Picture
Should the team shown in 52 #52 be the prominent picture at the present time? To my knowledge, there's nothing yet from DC that unequivocally states that that group is known as the Crime Syndicate of America. Clearly, that's most likely going to be the case, but as of right now, it's not definitive yet (unless there is something out there that I missed). Thanks. Starmiter 19:30, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Crime Syndicate, Inc.
In Batman #2 (currently found in the Batman Chronicles Vol. 2 trade) the Crime Syndicate, Inc. is featured in the first story titled The Joker Meets the Cat-Woman. Its a group of thugs who are mob-like in appearance who elect Joker as their leader and even got someone to impersonate Batman. Although it has no connection with this Crime Syndicate and Joker did double-cross them and they were most likely never shown again, I think it warrants a mention at least.--John Lynch 14:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Did they or didn't they?
The article says the original Crime Syndicate never managed to conquer their earth, but COIE #1 states that Luthor could never stop them. And wasn't the whole point of their first attack on Earths 1 and 2 was that they were bored with how easily they could win? Bluecatcinema 12:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually as shown in the TPB with the reprint of their first appearance they were starting to lose their edge as no one was able to oppose them they needed a challenge to restore their edge before non super powered forces were able to defeat them.--BruceGrubb (talk) 08:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

"Crime Society"
Aren't we really jumping the gun on this one?

At the moment, the DC solicitations are using "Crime Syndicate" and the cite reference for the name stated "...that there's a CSA in both the anti-matter universe and on Earth 3 (the former is Grant Morrison's rendition, the latter is a 'Golden Age' 'Crime Society'),..."

There is a lot of room for interpretation there... so maybe we should go back to no name being specified until the relevant issues actually come out, or someone can find a definitive statement from DC to the effect of "Yes, the Earth-3 characters from 52 Week are the Crime Society of America."

- J Greb 07:48, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's been referred to twice as Crime Society, once by the artist who worked on it, so the solicitations might be wrong. But what I will do is change the title of the solicited book to match the current solicitations, it can be updated later. The team name though is quite correct. --Basique 10:25, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Video Game Deletion
There was a section under “In other media” titled Video Games. This portion basically talked about a game called City of Heroes, and the counterparts of the games heroes (i.e., Statesman = Tyrant). Since the page is talking about The Crime Syndicate, I felt that a whole subsection dedicated to a similarity was inappropriate, and a bit confusing. Since the game has no relevance to the DC universe, other then being a game based on superheroes, I have deleted this section. 38.100.210.117 (talk) 07:04, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Prussia as a nation ceased to exist at the end of the Franco-Prussian War, yet this article, under History, refers to "Prussian government" as of 1885.

In 2013 Elizabeth Ruth published a third novel, Matadora, to critical acclaim. Her fourth novel, Semi-Detached is forthcoming in 2023.

Elizabeth edited the anthology, Bent On Writing: Contemporary Queer Tales, based on work by LGBTQ2+ writers presented at her long-running reading series. She published a GoodReads novella in plain language for adult literacy learners, entitled, Love You To Death.

Elizabeth Ruth is well known for her mentorship of aspiring writers through the Humber School for Writers’ Correspondence Program, Diaspora Dialogues, Writers in Electronic Residence, and various writer-in-residencies. She is a favourite at bookclubs, libraries, author events.

Talk:Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation

What is going on with all the page moves?
Are people contending that Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, Ontario is a place name? The article is clearly about the tribe, the Chippewas of Georgina Island.

Right now the article is the equivalent of an article about Canadians named Canadians of the Dominion of Canada, World — more than a little silly. Why do I say that?
 * The people are the Chippewas of Georgina Island
 * The name of the reserve is Georgina Island First Nation Reserve. I would argue the First Nation part is an optional descriptive title currently in vogue on the island like Dominion is out of vogue for Canada. Reserve is also an optional descriptor and some dislike the word.
 * The name of one of the places is Georgina Island, Ontario. The reserve also includes Fox and Snake Islands.

Double Blue (Talk) 04:25, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I originally moved the article from Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, Ontario to Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. I interpreted the article as primarily being about the Georgina Island First Nation, and not one of the three reserves that the First Nation has members living on.  Given that, I felt that having the word Ontario in the article name was not appropriate.  To my knowledge our convention is to add province or territory location names only to geographic articles, and not to articles about organizations such as First Nations or Bands in Canada.  As for including "First Nation" or not, I would prefer "Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation" to "Chippewas of Georgina Island" because including the words "First Nation" reinforces the existence of a formal governmental organization to the reader. Kurieeto 04:44, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * I have no problem with that. Double Blue  (Talk) 05:07, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Ooops! I thought the article was on the community, and not the actual tribe. Feel free to move it back, but a page is needed for the physical community itself. -- Earl Andrew - talk 05:51, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I made the same mistake Earl. Sorry for causing such confusion everyone.
 * Concerning articles related to this one:
 * Fox Island, Ontario (Fox Island (Lake Simcoe)) Peter Horn 22:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Snake Island, Ontario (Snake Island (Lake Simcoe)) Peter Horn 22:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Georgina Island, Ontario (Georgina Island) Peter Horn 22:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Georgina Island First Nation Reserve (but see DoubleBlue's comments)
 * Also, move this back to Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. I base this on Kurieeto's comments, and the external website (which actually uses First Nations). Is this accurate? Mindmatrix 12:33, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I can confirm that there is only one band on this reserve and I have moved it to the suggested title. I have many more sources that confirm this name. I think the "First Nations" part is just a little spelling error with someone getting used to talking about the First Nations. I think that of the articles Earl Andrew lists, the present article on the band is the most interesting, encyclopedic, and expandable. I also believe any info on the reserve or island contained therein could be included there until someone feels able to write an encyclopedic article on one of them alone.

Gnathiidae

The Gnathiidae are a family of isopod crustaceans. They occur in a wide range of depths, from the littoral zone to the deep sea. The adults are associated with sponges and may not feed. The juvenile form is known as a 'praniza', and it is a temporary parasite of marine fish. These forms are not larvae; Gnathiidae instead become parasitic during the manca stage. Mancae of the Gnathiidae closely resemble the adult form, however they lack the final pair of pereiopods.

Taxonomy in the family relies on male characters, such that females and juveniles cannot be reliably identified. The family contains 182 species, divided among the following genera:

The extinct Jurassic genus Urda is thought to represent a stem-group to the family, and is suggested to have had a similar parasitic lifestyle.

You Cannot Be Serious

You Cannot Be Serious (ISBN 0-425-19008-0 in the US, Serious ISBN 0-7515-3454-4 in the UK) is a book written by professional tennis player John McEnroe, with James Kaplan.

McEnroe details life behind the scenes on the tennis tour and provides the reader with a very candid look at his personal life and struggles. The book made it to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. The hardcover edition was published by G.P. Putnam's Sons in 2002, with the paperback being released a year later by The Berkley Publishing Group in the U.S., and by Time Warner in the UK. The name of the book comes from McEnroe's famous outburst "You cannot be serious!" from his match against Tom Gullikson at the 1981 Wimbledon Championships.

Talk:Wedding Crashers

Fluff Piece
I really question the neautrality of this article. Take for example the following passage:

"It was also very well received by critics, who admired the natural chemistry between Wilson and Vaughn, comparing them in some instances to Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (the comparisons might have been inspired by the very similar carefree bike-riding scenes found in both movies). The film also had extremely long legs, grossing over $209 million. This is quite a feat, considering most movies that made around $33 million in their opening weekend only managed about $100 million in 2005."

Could this possibly sound MORE like something written by a studio PR shill? Please! Also, I think it's downright misleading to say the movie was "very well received by critics", unless you're literally referring to the small number of critics that gave it an overwhelmingly positive reveiw. A quick scan of the most well know external reviewers on IMBD.com will quickly show a clear consensus average review of 2 stars (out of 4). I think a more accurate decription would be "received mixed, but generally positive reviews", or something similar to that. Ron Stock. 18:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Moved Rules of Wedding Crashing
I moved the rules to Wikiquote per WP:IINFO and WP:NOTABILITY. Just because these rules are mentioned in the movie does not make them notable. Only a handful of these rules are actually mentioned in the movie, and when they are mentioned they are basic one-liners with little context in the conversation. The rules can be found at The Wedding Crashers Rules on Wikiquote. Gonzo fan2007 talk ♦ contribs 07:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Plot
Someone seems to have changed the Plot section from being overly detailed to reading like something you would find on the back of the box. In fact, it looks so much like it, that I wouldn't be surprised at all if that is where it is from. 64.91.186.214 (talk) 02:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

These changes seem to have been made on 27 January 2008 by a user named Trident13.

Purple Hearts
The film was criticized for their use of the Purple Hearts in the plot and promotional marketing and it received a lot of news coverage. It is a shame this has not been mentioned in the reception/reaction. Don't have time to add it with sources, hope someone has the time to add it. -- Horkana (talk) 22:36, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

"Rape contoversy"
I have to say that the source for the controversy section is pretty weak. It is a fairly subjective statement, and on the website that it came from, it has only gained one out of five stars for credibility. My point is: does this section need to be there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.120.18 (talk) 21:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Since this discussion has come up again here's a link to the version of this article from January 2011. The single source provided at that was from a site called allvoices.com (dead but archived).
 * A version of the section from December 2018 was discussed on the project film page (that link will probably be archived, the section heading was "Help_on_Wedding_Crashers_article" if you have to search the archives for it).
 * If this information was to be included in the article then more work is needed to avoid WP:UNDUE emphasis, possibly by also discussing the more general criticism of the misogyny and homophobia. -- 109.76.143.176 (talk) 00:53, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

,, please discuss the "Controversies" content here. Slightlymad posted about this at WT:FILM, and some comments can be seen here, but the discussion should continue here. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 18:28, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment (pasting the bulk of my comment from the discussion thread above) I wouldn't create a unique section for controversy, as many editors (like myself) feel that Controversy sections place undue emphasis on negative events. If critics have complained about the rape comedy, that seems like it belongs in the Critical response/reception section without needing to label it any further. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:02, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I wouldn't object to copy/pasting the content into the "critical response" section. I would be opposed to simply blanking the section AND its contents, which is what was initially done. But as to the above suggestion, to put it into the "critical response" section, that sounds good to me. Et0048 (talk) 22:22, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment: Saw invitation for comment at WT:FILM. I wouldn't create a unique section for controversy, as many editors (like myself) feel that Controversy sections place undue emphasis on negative events.

Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:57, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

The section has many problems: "The film was criticized[17][18] for depicting the forcible rape of Vince Vaughn's character in a humorous light. The film has been accused of "turn(ing) graphic sexual assault into a punchline".[19]"
 * [17] A GQ magazine article from 2018 ...
 * objects to a date-rape joke, early in the film
 * includes the sentences "In the morning, Vaughn tells Wilson he was raped and compares himself to Jodie Foster in The Accused." followed by "Even beyond the gender and sexual dynamics that have aged rather poorly", which is fairly faint criticism compared to when the article ...
 * objects to the sassy racist grandma trope
 * strongly objects to the "inexcusably unfunny riff on the old "predatory gay man" trope"
 * [18] is a Thought Catalog article by Anonymous, from 2014
 * it is not about Wedding Crashers, and mentions it only in passing: this is it entirely: "Take a look at movies like Wedding Crashers, and Get Him to the Greek. Rape is simply a comedic tool when it’s placed upon men. More disturbingly, maybe society doesn’t believe men can be raped at all. "
 * I think WP:SELFPUB may apply, Thought Catalog is probably not an acceptable source
 * [19] 2013 Huffpost article, by "Ashkuff", a mononymous person described as: American Anthropological Association Contributor
 * the article says "blockbuster comedies like Wedding Crashers turn graphic sexual assault into a punchline", so again the article isn't about Wedding Crashers it is merely being used as an specific example
 * so it makes the wording "The film has been accused" more than bit weasly, certainly not as objective as "The Huffington Post accused the film" or "Ashkuff of the American Anthropological Association accused the film"

The extremely selective way these sources are used feels far too like WP:COATRACK and WP:UNDUE. I agree with the comments about the section heading, Controversy is too loaded a term, Criticism would be a fairer description. Only the GQ article is really about this film. To fix the section I would delete [18] and [19] entirely, and keep only the GQ article, and instead use it in the Critical response section, to mention not one problem but the all 4 problems I have listed above. (Various contemporary reviews also addressed point 4, and I think point 3, which could be used to give more weight to those bigger criticisms. Alternatively if newer more recent sources can be found that look at the film retrospectively a Legacy section might be possible.) -- 109.76.149.91 (talk) 00:05, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I've given it a shot. To avoid WP:UNDUE the main thing I did was to expand on the comments from contemporary critics, to make it clearer that most of the problems were noticed at the time, but critics were wiling to forgive since they liked the film as a whole. Then I moved the GQ article into the critical response section but made it clear in the text that it was a review from 2018 and that the reviewer had many complaints, and few positives about the film. I doubt this will please everyone but I think it represents what the discussions suggested was needed. -- 109.79.169.118 (talk) 17:13, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Solitude Palace

Castle/Palace
Since the article says that it's not a castle at all but a palace, and it's not a defensive structure, and the architecture doesn't try to imitate a castle, I vote for moving the article to Solitude Palace.--Sitacuisses (talk) 15:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Understand your concern, but consider palaces in the UK like Castle Howard. As Solitude Castle now seems to be the established norm I would suggest it remains as is. See also the Stuttgart official site, which, though not necessarily a jewel of English literature, uses "castle" more than palace. Maybe change it to "Castle Solitude"? BuzzWoof (talk) 18:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * At the Schloss Solitude official website here, the English-language version refers to Schloss Solitude as Solitude Palace, so the article should probably be changed to that name, if others agree. -- Blairall (talk) 05:17, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Procarbazine

Procarbazine is a chemotherapy medication used for the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma and brain cancers. For Hodgkin's it is often used together with chlormethine, vincristine, and prednisone while for brain cancers such as glioblastoma multiforme it is used with lomustine and vincristine. It is typically taken by mouth.

Common side effect include low blood cell counts and vomiting. Other side effects include tiredness and depression. It is not recommended in people with severe liver or kidney problems. Use in pregnancy is known to harm the baby. Procarbazine is in the alkylating agents family of medication. How it works is not clearly known.

Procarbazine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1969. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. In the United Kingdom a month of treatment cost the National Health Service 450 to 750 pounds.

Medical uses
When used to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma, it is often delivered as part of the BEACOPP regimen that includes bleomycin, etoposide, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine (tradename Oncovin), prednisone, and procarbazine. The first combination chemotherapy developed for Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), MOPP also included procarbazine (ABVD has supplanted MOPP as standard first line treatment for HL, with BEACOPP as an alternative for advanced/unfavorable HL). Alternatively, when used to treat certain brain tumors (malignant gliomas), it is often dosed as PCV when combined with lomustine (often called CCNU) and vincristine.

Dose should be adjusted for kidney disease or liver disease.

Side effects
Very common (greater than 10% of people experience them) adverse effects include loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. Other side effects of unknown frequency include reduction in leukocytes, reduction in platelets, reduction in neutrophils, which can lead to increased infections including lung infections; severe allergy-like reactions that can lead to angioedema and skin reactions; lethargy; liver complications including jaundice and abnormal liver function tests; reproductive effects including reduction in sperm count and ovarian failure.

When combined with ethanol, procarbazine may cause a disulfiram-like reaction in some people.

It weakly inhibits MAO in the gastrointestinal system, so it can cause hypertensive crises if associated with the ingestion of tyramine-rich foods such as aged cheeses; this appears to be rare.

Procarbazine rarely causes chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, a progressive, enduring, often irreversible tingling numbness, intense pain, and hypersensitivity to cold, beginning in the hands and feet and sometimes involving the arms and legs.

Pharmacology
Procarbazine works, in part, as an alkylating agent and methylates guanine at the O-6 position (much like dacarbazine also does ). Guanine is one of the four nucleotides that makes up DNA. The methylated DNA is prone to breakage, and RNA and protein synthesis is inhibited. Proliferating cancer cells need to replicate their DNA and undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) in response to DNA strand breaks. Normal or non-proliferating cells are more apt to repair the DNA damage, but still some of the healthy cells will be damaged. Procarbazine is metabolized in the liver to an azo-derivative and then further metabolized by the cytochrome P-450 system to an active azoxy-derivative.

Bobby Lutz (basketball)

Bobby Lutz (born April 4, 1958) is an American basketball coach. He is currently an Associate AD for the University of Mississippi Rebels men's basketball team. From 2016 to 2017, he was an assistant coach of the Windy City Bulls of the NBA Development League. He previously was an associate head coach at North Carolina State University Wolfpack men's basketball team after being an assistant coach there. Lutz was also head coach of the Charlotte 49ers basketball team from 1998 to 2010.

Early career
Lutz graduated from Bandys High School in Catawba, North Carolina in 1976 and from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1980 with a B.A. in Psychology and Economics. He taught social studies and coached basketball at several high schools in North Carolina. In 1984 he received a job as a graduate assistant coach for the men's basketball team at Clemson University. Prior to the 1986–87 season he was named head coach at Pfeiffer College in Misenheimer, North Carolina. He led the Falcons to a 181–91 record in his nine years as their coach, including one berth in the NAIA championship game.

Charlotte
In 1995 Lutz was named the head coach at Gardner–Webb University, but resigned two weeks after accepting the job in order to become an assistant coach at his alma mater under head coach Jeff Mullins. He served as an assistant under Mullins (1995–96) and his successor, Melvin Watkins (1996–98). When Watkins accepted the head coaching job at Texas A&M University, Lutz was promoted and became the eighth head coach of the Charlotte 49ers on April 9, 1998.

The 49ers enjoyed consistent success during Lutz's tenure, reaching the NCAA tournament five times (1999, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005), plus three appearances in the NIT (2000, 2006 and 2008). In 2005 Lutz was a finalist for the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year Award.

On February 23, 2008, Charlotte won at home over Saint Louis 81–64, giving Lutz 183 wins at Charlotte and the all-time mark for wins by a 49ers coach, passing Mullins' 182 wins accumulated between 1985 and 1996.

Lutz' 49ers were expected to contend for their first NCAA Tournament berth as an Atlantic 10 member in 2009-10. With eight games to go in the season, they had a record of 18-5 and seemed well on their way to a bid. However, they went 1-7 the rest of the way. They bottomed out in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Tournament against UMass when they came out of a timeout with six men on the court. The resulting technical foul derailed a last-ditch rally, and they lost the game. After not even receiving an NIT bid, Lutz was fired on March 15, 2010. He compiled a 218–158 record at UNC Charlotte, and is the school's winningest men's basketball coach. He then spent a season as an assistant coach with the Iowa State Cyclones under head coach Fred Hoiberg.

D-League
On September 30, 2016, Lutz was appointed an assistant coach of the Windy City Bulls, a new NBA Development League franchise, under head coach Nate Loenser. Lutz helped Coach this team to a 23-27 record. This was good for 7th in the Eastern Conference, but only the top four teams get into the playoffs. At the conclusion of the 2016-17 season, Windy City Bulls head coach Nate Loenser switched jobs with Chicago Bulls assistant coach Charlie Henry and Lutz was not a part of Henry's 2017-18 staff.

Personal
Lutz has a wife and two daughters.

Don Koharski

Don Koharski (born December 2, 1955) is a retired professional ice hockey referee in the National Hockey League. He resides in Tampa, Florida, with his wife, with whom he has two sons. Starting with the 1994–95 NHL season, he wore uniform number 12, and, since the 1987–88 NHL season, he wore a helmet while refereeing NHL games.

Koharski is a rules analyst on NHL on TNT, and Director of Officiating for the National Lacrosse League.

Officiating career
Koharski began his officiating career in the World Hockey Association in 1975, as a 19-year-old linesman. (He is the final player or official from the WHA to be involved in professional hockey in an on-ice capacity.) In 1976, he was signed by the American Hockey League while working with a local dairy farm, for which he was milking cows. He began his NHL career in 1977 as a linesman, before moving to the referee role in 1980.

Entering the 2005–06 season, Koharski had officiated over 1,400 regular season games, 235 playoff games, thirteen Stanley Cup Finals, two All-Star Games, two Canada Cups, and the 2004 World Cup. He was the league's second-most senior official, behind only referee Kerry Fraser. On April 8, 2006, Koharski reached the 1,500-regular-season-game milestone when he officiated a game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Tampa Bay Lightning.

During the NHL player lockout of 2004–05, Koharski officiated a charity game between former players from the United Hockey League, as part of their All-Star Game festivities.

On March 24, 2009, it was announced that Koharski would retire as an NHL referee at the end of the 2008–09 NHL season; however, he will stay on with the NHL in a supervisory or instructional position. Koharski worked his last game on April 9, 2009 between the Washington Capitals and the Tampa Bay Lightning.

In total, Koharski officiated 1,719 regular-season games and 248 playoff games.

"The doughnut incident"
On May 6, 1988, Koharski got into an infamous shouting match with New Jersey Devils Head Coach Jim Schoenfeld, after Game Three of the Wales (now Eastern) Conference Finals (which the Devils lost to the Boston Bruins, 6-1). Walking off the ice, Koharski apparently stumbled when his skate blade gave out. The referee then accused Schoenfeld of bumping him, which the coach denied:

Koharski: "Oh, you're gone now! You're gone. You won't coach another..."

Schoenfeld: "You fell and you know it. You know you fell. I didn't touch you."

Koharski: "You're gone. You're gone. And I hope it's on tape."

Schoenfeld: "Good, 'cause you fell, you fat pig. Have another doughnut! Have another doughnut!"

The next day, NHL Vice President Bryan O'Neill announced, just hours before Game Four was to be played at Meadowlands Arena, that Schoenfeld was suspended for at least one game pending further investigation. The Devils, however, got in touch with Bergen County Judge James F. Madden to issue an injunction to allow Schoenfeld back in the coach's box, just before the game was scheduled to start. Showing solidarity with Koharski, though, referee Dave Newell and linesmen Ray Scapinello and Gord Broseker refused to work the game, as did backup referee Denis Morel. A sellout crowd was forced to wait over an hour until replacement officials could be found. (Paul McInnis, a manager of a skating rink in Yonkers, New York, took over as referee, with Vin Godelski and Jim Sullivan as linesmen.)

New Jersey won Game Four, 3-1. After a proper hearing was held for Coach Schoenfeld, he was indeed suspended for Game Five (in which Devils' GM Lou Lamoriello made his NHL coaching debut). The Bruins would go on to win the series in seven games, then be swept by the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Personal life
Koharski's son Jamie and brother Terry also worked as referees in various leagues, including the USHL, ECHL and AHL. Jamie retired in 2016 after a 12-season career in the AHL and now serves as an officiating development coach for the ECHL and USA Hockey's Officiating Development Program, while Terry retired from the AHL in 2023. In 2020, Jamie's wife, Liz Sylvia Koharski, became the 17th woman to have her name engraved on the Stanley Cup, due to her role with the Tampa Bay Lightning as an administrative staffer.

KZFS

KZFS (1280 AM, "Hooptown 101.5") is a commercial radio station in Spokane, Washington. It broadcasts a classic hip hop radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. Its branding originates from its 250 watt FM translator K268DL at 101.5 MHz.

By day, KZFS's AM signal is powered at 5,000 watts. But to protect other stations on 1280 AM, it reduces power at night to only 125 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is on South Palouse Highway in Southeast Spokane.

History
The station was first signed on in 1965. It used KUDY as its call sign and it broadcast a Christian talk and teaching format until 2002. That year, the station swapped signals with KQNT (590 AM); the 1280 AM frequency took on the latter's adult standards format as KAQQ.

In 2005, the station changed its call sign to KPTQ and flipped to a progressive talk format. KPTQ served as the Spokane affiliate of Air America Radio until Air America went off the air in January 2010. On March 26, 2012, the station switched to classic country after sister KIXZ switched to Top 40.

On April 11, 2013, KPTQ flipped to sports talk as a network affiliate of Fox Sports Radio, changing its call letters to KZFS. On April 10, 2015, KZFS adopted a contemporary Christian music format, branded "Up 99.3" (relayed on translator K257FX, 99.3 FM). In March 2018, KZFS flipped to country as "Kix 99.3", inheriting the format and branding of KIIX-FM (which switched to modern rock on March 5). The previous Christian format was moved to KISC-HD2 and rebranded as "UP! 98.1 HD2".

In March 2020, KZFS flipped to Classic hip hop, branded as "Hooptown 101.5", and began simulcasting on translator K268DL (101.5 FM). Subsequently, the simulcast of the country format (which remains on K257FX) was moved to KISC's HD2 subchannel. The Hooptown branding is derived from Spokane's unofficial nickname of "Hooptown USA", referring to the success of the city's college and high school basketball teams.

 * I totally don't understand what point this is trying to make. It doesn't really make sense (but wait, is that a bureaucrat who wrote it?). And I'm not aware of any stub notices we use on Wikipedia namespace pages. In any case, I don't think deletion is the way to go. It needs time to be proposed as policy, or whatever the author was intending to do with this (which I'd like to hear). Userfy for now. --Dmcdevit 04:55, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy with haste. Bureaucrat or not, this has no business in article Wikipedia: space yet! -Splash 04:56, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy (I guess). As in: move to a subpage of his userpage -mysekurity 05:53, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd like to point out to Splash that this is not in the article space, but the Wikipedia space. Still userfying is the way to go. -Mgm|(talk) 10:03, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, you are quite right. The trouble with editing past dawn. Comment corrected. -Splash 13:03, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

If you didn't like the article, why didn't you leave me a note on my user talk page, instead of vfd'ing behind my back? And before you say "the rules permit it", let me remind you about gaming the system. Uncle Ed 18:23, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with WP:POINT if the definition is really considered necessary. Otherwise, delete. --FreelanceWizard 10:50, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, redir to WP:POINT. Radiant_ >|< 13:38, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete COULD be a violation of WP:POINT, except I can't see that a point is being made. Friday 14:16, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - what exactly is being disrupted here? People throw around WP:POINT way too liberally. --SPUI (talk) 23:02, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for the time being. User:Ed Poor had previously left a note in his summary when he added "Not to be confused with Wikipedia:Illustrating a point" to the WP:POINT which read "which I shall now write - bear with me" . It's clear that this is a work in progress, trying to create a "Lead by Example" proposal. Also, three people, including the VfD creator, have voted delete, stating that this was in violation of WP:POINT. Could these people please explain what they meant by this? What point is Ed trying to prove? I don't see how suggesting that people lead by example could possibly be in violation of anything at all. — Asbestos | Talk  13:23, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'm not done developing this. Stubs aren't supposed to be deleted simply because they are short. "I'm about to use this article to make a point, er, I mean ILLUSTRATE a point." There are many ways you can simultaneously (a) do something constructive and (b) use it as an example to teach somebody. "Here, let me show you what I mean." This is the opposite of disrupting to make a point: it's using an example of something good to encourage others to do good. Why is this so hard to understand? BECAUSE I HAVEN'T FINISHED WRITING THE ARTICLE YET. I've been busy:
 * Mediating
 * Getting new features into the software
 * Defending NPOV policy
 * Helping clueless newbies
 * Stopping personal attacks
 * Comment. Not gaming anything, I think the article is inappropriate in Wikispace at least in its present form. Please feel free to Userfy it yourself and develop it into something worthwhile. No personal insult intended. Whig 22:10, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * None taken. Thanks. All I ask, is that if someone userfies it, they leave a note somewhere so I can find it. Uncle Ed 12:50, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy. If you aren't done, why is it linked from WP:POINT?  As is, I honestly don't get what you're trying to say. Superm401 | Talk 18:19, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Trichuris muris

Trichuris muris is a nematode parasite of mice. It is very similar to the human roundworm parasite Trichuris trichiura due to its immunological reactivity when crossed, and so is often used in related studies.

Lifecycle
Ingesting material that contains embryonated eggs allows for transmission and infection to occur. The eggs travel down to the cecum - a pouch located at the start of the large intestine - where larval hatching is induced. The larvae proceed to penetrate through the mucosal epithelium, then molt into their secondary stage of infection after 9–11 days. About 17 days after infection, the larvae arrive at the tertiary stage followed by a quaternary molt 5 days later. The larvae complete their last molt 29 days after infection and transform into mature dioecious adults. These whipworms use their anterior ends to embed themselves into the cells that line the walls of the large intestine. After establishing their place in the intestinal wall, the adult worms mate and release unembryonated eggs into the environment via the feces.

Trichuris muris relies on direct contact with intestinal bacteria to promote hatching of the embryonated eggs. Using green fluorescent protein (GFP) and E. coli strains, the bacteria are seen to gather specifically around the opercula, which are located at the poles of the eggs. The bacteria contain type 1 fimbriae, which possess adhesin FimH at their fimbrial tips. FimH interacts with a mannosylated receptor found on the egg's surface. When bound, a signal transduction cascade is triggered and results in the worm emerging from the egg. Temperature, in particular at 37 °C, serves as an additional hatching cue; this specific temperature is thought to prevent T. muris eggs from hatching in unideal outside environments.

The relationship between T. muris and bacteria also has a significant effect on the host's immune response. The activation of type 2 helper cells (Th2) is decreased in the presence of antibiotics because fewer whipworms bind to the intestinal walls. This, in turn, drives up the proliferation and differentiation of Th17 and Th1 cells. About 18 days after infection, the worm burden in antibiotically treated mice was drastically reduced, further supporting the notion that bacteria are essential to the worms' establishment.

Schistosoma haematobium existed historically in the far South of Portugal (Algarve). It was never common, but can be considered erradicated today.

 * I removed the reference to "aaa", but since the basis for haematuria being recorded in Ancient Egyptian medical papyri seems to be from translating "aaa" as such, the whole first sentence of the History section may need to be removed. Further sources confirming this interpretation among scholars would be appreciated, as the idea that "aaa" meant bloody urine is found in older academic sources.  The best I could find other than the above source about "aaa" meaning an evil influence was a letter to the editor in a 1996 medical journal: https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/15354 2603:6011:2DF0:2850:B434:4E3D:DD63:9A23 (talk) 22:39, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Gardner–Webb University

Gardner–Webb University (Gardner–Webb, GWU, or GW) is a private Christian liberal arts university in Boiling Springs, North Carolina. It was founded as Boiling Springs High School in 1905. Gardner-Webb is a classified among "Doctoral/Professional Universities".

Over 3,000 students attend Gardner–Webb, including undergraduate, graduate, and online students. Nine colleges and schools offer more than 80 undergraduate and graduate major fields of study. GWU's Runnin' Bulldogs compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big South Conference in most sports, although the men's and women's swim teams compete in the Coastal Collegiate Swim Association and the wrestling team competes in the Southern Conference.

Beginnings
On December 2, 1905, the Boiling Springs High School was chartered as a result of an initiative sponsored by the Kings Mountain Baptist Association (Cleveland County) and the Sandy Run Baptist Association (Rutherford County). The institution served as a place "where the young...could have the best possible educational advantages under distinctive Christian influence." In May 1905, Boiling Springs Baptist Church voted to offer its old church house, five acres of land, and $2,700 to the institution, and on July 10, 1905, Boiling Springs was officially chosen for the site of the school. The location of the High School was essential, as it was located near the border of the school's sponsors, Kings Mountain and Sandy Run, and had easy access to brick building materials. The institution's name, Boiling Springs High School, was decided on October 27, 1905, and its charter was accepted less than two months later by the school's trustees. Willard Winslow Washburn, the man who first set forth the idea of a Christian school at Boiling Springs, and the first man to sign the certificate of incorporation would go on to serve on the board of trustees for the first 30 years of its existence. The town of Boiling Springs is named after the natural springs that can be found on campus. They provided clean water for the school when it began operation in 1907.

J.D. Huggins was made the High School's first principal on July 25, 1907. The complete faculty, which consisted of only five teachers, including Huggins, was hired by the fall of 1907. Classes started in October of the same year, although the main building, the Huggins-Curtis Building, was not complete. Students lived in various homes in the community and used classrooms from the nearby elementary school until the building's completion in 1908. The building included classrooms, auditoriums, a chapel, library, principal's office, cafeteria, living quarters, literary societies, a music room, and parlors. Although it burned down in 1957, it signified the promise and progress of the school so far.

Boiling Springs High School focused on Christian education, as evident in the school's motto, Pro Deo et Humanitate (for God and Humanity). These words were inscribed upon "the ageless granite arch" on campus, which still exists today. Original tuition was $76.05 for a term of nine months, and although the school attracted a wide variety of students with varied interests, its focus centered around ministerial education.

Expansion and growth
The high school became Boiling Springs Junior College on Sept. 3, 1928 due to the changing educational needs of the area. The Great Depression created many obstacles for the college, but its survival was secured by the sacrifices of loyal supporters. The college began with seven departments: English, mathematics, natural science, foreign language, social science, Bible, and education. The first graduating class consisted of roughly 200 students, with one of the earliest graduates being W. J. Cash, author of The Mind of the South.

In 1942, Governor O. Max Gardner began devoting his energy, time, and wealth to strengthening the college. On June 15, the trustees voted to change the name to Gardner–Webb Junior College in honor of Gardner and his wife, Fay Webb-Gardner. That officially took effect on Aug. 27, 1942. During the following year, the institution embarked on a $300,000 financial campaign. At the conclusion of this initiative the trustees announced the school to be debt-free.

The decades following World War II were years of physical growth and academic development. New buildings went up as enrollments increased. On Oct. 23, 1969, Gardner-Webb filed with the register of deeds for an official name change from Gardner-Webb Junior College to Gardner-Webb College in preparation for the first four-year class (for students earning bachelor's degrees) in 1971. A major step in the institutions' development was its full accreditation as a senior college in December 1971, gaining the name Gardner–Webb College. In 1980, the college began a graduate program, which became the Graduate School in the 1990s. The School of Divinity was also founded during this time. On Nov. 12, 1991 Gardner-Webb was approved to seek university status by the Board of Trustees. The institution officially became known as Gardner–Webb University in January 1993, culminating years of preparation, and by the early 2000s the school had more than 3,200 students and 135 faculty members.

E. B. Hamrick Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Recent history
In 2007, Gardner–Webb University, along with four other private North Carolina Christian colleges, began a process to change their relationships with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, in order to obtain more academic freedom and select their own trustees. The state convention also agreed to start transferring funds traditionally given directly to the universities into a new scholarship fund for Baptist students.

In 2009, the schools gained autonomy from the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina and established a “good faith and cooperative” relationship with it. The four other schools were, Mars Hill University, Campbell University, Wingate University, and Chowan University.

In 2021, Gardner–Webb University purchased nearly two acres of land in Boiling Springs for construction of an amphitheater complex. The State of North Carolina allocated $500,000 towards the outdoor amphitheater project in July 2022.

Featured LOTS LGBT speaker Cody Sanders and reaction
In February 2014, openly gay minister and Gardner–Webb alumnus Cody Sanders was invited to speak about his recent book "Queer Lessons for Churches on the Straight and Narrow: What All Christians can Learn from LGBTQ Lives" as a part of the Life of the Scholar speaker series. Sanders's invitation to Gardner–Webb received greater attention after a letter to the editor titled "Where are the wise at Gardner–Webb?" was published in The Biblical Recorder, the bi-weekly newspaper of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSCNC). This prompted Gardner–Webb University's president at the time, Frank Bonner, to publish a response in the same paper affirming the University's stance that marriage is to be between one man and one woman.

Campus
The main campus in Boiling Springs is situated on 225 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains between Charlotte and Asheville. There is an additional satellite campus in Charlotte.

Historic Building

 * E.B. Hamrick Hall: The Hamrick Hall is the oldest existing building on the Gardner-Webb campus. It was built during the 1920s and dedicated to students who died during World War I. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and was rededicated to all students and alumni who died during military service (in all wars since World War I) in 2021. Today, the Hamrick Hall is the home for the Godbold College of Business.

Academics
There are over 3,000 students enrolled at Gardner–Webb, including the day program, graduate studies, Gardner-Webb Online, and the Degree Completion Program (designed for adult learners seeking to finish their degree). Out of these students, 66% are female and 34% are male, and in all come from a total of 42 foreign countries, 37 states and 90 North Carolina counties. There are nine colleges and schools that offer nearly 80 undergraduate and graduate major fields of study. The top majors for GWU students are nursing, biology, exercise science, psychology and business. The top five academic departments and programs are Business, Nursing, Natural Sciences, Exercise Sciences and Communication Studies.

As of 2023, there were 144 full-time faculty members; 70% of full-time faculty have a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree; the average class size is 17 students.

Rankings
In the 2024 college rankings of U.S. News & World Report, Gardner–Webb was ranked tied for 356 of 394 in a list of national universities. GWU's core curriculum ranks in the nation's top two percent for quality and breadth, according to the What Will They Learn? study by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. The study rated schools on an "A" through "F" scale, where Gardner–Webb has been the only school in the Carolinas, to earn an "A" from 2011 to 2021.

Admissions
The acceptance rate at Gardner-Webb is 60%, admissions are conducted on a rolling basis. The average admissions statistics for the class of 2025 are: SAT: 1015; ACT: 22; GPA: 3.72.

Gardner–Webb offers 21 varsity sports at the NCAA Division I level, including football, basketball, baseball, soccer, wrestling, swimming, track and field, cross country, softball, tennis, volleyball, lacrosse, cheerleading, and golf. Ten of these are men's and eleven are women's.

The athletic teams are known as the Runnin' Bulldogs and support the school colors of scarlet, black and white. The bulldogs are part of the Big South Conference, although the men's and women's swim teams belong to the Coastal Collegiate Swim Association, and the wrestling team belongs to the Southern Conference.

 * Basketball (Men's): Gardner–Webb men's basketball has also been a growing program. In 2012, the team played against North Carolina and earlier, in the 2007–2008 season, pulled an 84–68 upset win against Kentucky. They have reached every national tournament on every level, finally making the NCAA Division I Men's National Tournament in 2019 after winning the Big South conference tournament. That 2018-2019 championship season is the subject of the documentary The Dancin' Bulldogs released on October 16, 2020. The basketball program also has developed recent success as a head coach springboard. Former head coach Chris Holtmann after leaving Gardner-Webb was the head coach of Butler University and now Ohio State.
 * Basketball (Women's): In 2011, the women's basketball team were Big South Conference champions and were awarded a No. 14 seed in the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship tournament, facing No. 3 seed Miami. This was the first appearance for the team in the tournament. In 2023, the 'dawgs recorded an undefeated conference record (18-0) and a 21-game win streak winning with Big South regular season and the conference tournament titles. No Big South basketball team (men or women) ever finished the season undefeated. GWU finished the season 29-5 with a loss to the University of Utah in the NCAA tournament.
 * Football: In 2022, Gardner-Webb won the Big South Conference and competed in its first ever NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs, winning a first round game on the road against Eastern Kentucky University 52-41; during the playoffs, home teams were 20-2, and the Runnin' Bulldogs were one of only two road squads to earn a win. Gardner-Webb dominated the Big South honors for 2022; quarterback Bailey Fisher was Offensive Player of the Year; defensive lineman Ty French was named Defensive Player of the Year; GWU linebacker Ty Anderson was the Defensive Freshman of the Year; Runnin’ Bulldogs linebacker William McRainey was voted the Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year by the league, and GW head coach Tre Lamb was selected Coach of the Year.  In 2023, Gardner-Webb won the inaugural Big South-OVC Conference title and earned a playoff berth. Since 1970, teams have won six conference championships (two in the South Atlantic Conference, three in the Big South, and one in the Big South-OVC). The Gardner-Webb Runnin' Football Bulldogs were national runner-ups (NAIA) in 1992 and ended the season with a 12-2 record; they also made the NAIA quarter finals in 1987 with an 11-2 mark.
 * Golf (Men's): Gardner-Webb was a two-time NAIA National Champion (1976, 1977) and runner-up in 1979, all under head coach Garland Allen. Allen also gained national coach of the year honors twice during the championship run. Golfer Zack Byers became the first Gardner-Webb student-athlete to compete in the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships. He earned the honor by winning the Big South Tournament and advancing from the NCAA West Palm Beach Regional.
 * Swimming (Men's): In 2012, Gardner–Webb University's men's swimming team placed third at the 2008 CCSA conference, setting several school records and finishing closely behind College of Charleston and Davidson. The men's team also made the list of top academic teams for Division I men's swimming, averaging a 3.17 GPA and placing .01 ahead of schools like George Washington University.
 * Swimming (Women's): The women placed third at the 2008 conference championships. Before joining the CCSA conference the women's swim team was a part of the NEC., the women's team was four time NEC conference champions. In 2012, the women's team won its twelfth consecutive Scholastic All-America (CSCAA) honor, averaging a 3.55 grade average and falling behind schools like Columbia University by .01 and Dartmouth College by .06. The list includes all Division I women's swim teams that average a 3.0 GPA or higher.
 * Soccer (Men's): The program began in 1987, and was coached by Tony Setzer from 1988-2022. The Runnin' Bulldogs competed in the 2006 NCAA Tournament moving past No. 23 UAB in the first round before falling to No. 9 Clemson on Nov. 15.
 * Tennis (Men's): GWU earned Big South Conference regular season honors as champs with 16-wins on the season (a single-season best). They also won the Big South in 2019 in a Covid-shortened season. Head Coach Mike Griffith was named 2023 coach of the year.

The Bulldog Mascot
For over a century, the bulldog mascot has been associated with Gardner-Webb. Athletic marks, living animals, and costumed versions of the mascot have represented Gardner-Webb on the field of play and within the community. The first reported use of the mascot for Gardner-Webb was in 1922.

Throughout the decades, the Gardner-Webb live bulldog mascots have carried names like Butch, Chins, Victor, Barney, Roebuck and Bo. The costumed mascots have been known as Mack, Mac and Lulu, while the trademarked Runnin’ Bulldog logo has been referred to by Mack and Mac.

In 2021, the University Gardner-Webb introduced the newest official live mascot, “Bo”, an English Bulldog. Bo makes appearances at home athletic events, campus and community activities.

 * What happened to the mini-series' revelation that Jack and Marcy Kane were both of extraterrestrial origin? Doczilla 17:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

In containment?
The article mentions that he was in containment for 14 hours a day, but never states why.--Agent Aquamarine 01:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Zero fluid exposure?
In the Marvel Handbook entry for Jack of Hearts, it said that his father designed his containment suit to look like the Jack of Hearts card in the playing deck, because he had a fondness for playing cards. That should be here under his origin.

Moreover, it wasn't that the Zero Fluid exposure burned one half of his body; it's that it revealed the physical traits of his Contraxian genes, namely the opaque eye and the darker coloring along one entire side of his body. That was also clarified in his four-issue limited series, printed after the Marvel Team-Up with Spiderman.76.114.46.65 (talk) 08:06, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

"Skilled writer of poetry" -> "Talented poet".
In the "Powers and abilities" section, Jack was previously described as "a skilled writer of poetry". I changed this to "a talented poet". In the first place, brevity is ideal. Secondly, if I'm not mistaken, writing poetry well is more a talent than a skill.

– Not the primary topic over the basic playing card for which the character is named. This move makes it WP:CONSISTENT with other card value/suit disambig pages like Queen of Hearts, King of Hearts, and Ace of Hearts. -- Netoholic @ 00:54, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Jack of Hearts → Jack of Hearts (Marvel Comics)
 * Jack of Hearts (disambiguation) → Jack of Hearts

 * Support per nom. No primary topic, so disambiguate. ( However, I think the character should be moved to "Jack of Hearts (comics)" instead - more concise while precise enough. Never mind, support as written.) Paintspot Infez (talk) 03:13, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I considered that, but I think its WP:INCDAB per there being a string of relatively minor "Jack of Hearts" characters in DC's Royal Flush Gang (see DC wiki). -- Netoholic @ 03:58, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Thank you. Paintspot Infez (talk) 05:01, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support - I like Jack, but I don't think he's what most people are expecting to find when they search for the term. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:54, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. If there is a primary topic for this phrase, it isn't a comic book character. bd2412  T 20:58, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:ASTONISH In ictu oculi (talk) 21:37, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support playing card as primary. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:34, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support It's better to disambiguate. Barca (talk) 13:09, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. No clear primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:06, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
