Talk:Scarecrow (DC Comics)

Reference?
"As a young child he had a fear of death, after his stepfather raped and murdered his mother, in front of his stepson, however his fear was overcome when his stepfather died."

I'm deleting this unless someone can find a reference, i've never seen this anywhere else. 67.174.248.87 (talk) 12:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

You are completely right, that is erroneous information. He was raised by his great-grandmother, and did not meet his father until he was an adult. In addition, his mother is still alive as seen in both his origins, and the recent Holiday Special. Komodo ninja (talk) 19:48, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Brave and the Bold
wouldn't the show merit it's own section? 96.236.219.47 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:49, 27 July 2009 (UTC).

Recent Major Revision.
I think DCIncarnate has the right idea and intent by removing a LOT of cruft and fanplot, but I agree with JoeLoeb taht it may have gone too far. I'm not a fan of losing the publication history materials, so if we can review the edit and let DCI justify his work, and let JL reply in a calm manner, about what he'd like to see return, we can get somewhere. YEs? ThuranX (talk) 19:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Looks like there is some give and take finally; I have thrown in an edit as well. Hopefully this style of working will fix things. ThuranX (talk) 20:09, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I have reverted JoeLoeb's edits today to return the article to it's previous structure. A publication history with very brief plot summaries of major changes in the character is far more effective for a minor character like this. The publication history notes the silver age and modern age transitions, obviating the need for subsectioning. ThuranX (talk) 16:01, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't know how to add in ideas in the history section. All I want is to improve it and give some background to the film and TV stuff instead of just voiced by ... That's it.(JoeLoeb (talk) 17:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC))

 * So propose some changes to those sections back here, and leave publication history alone for now. I'd recommend finding sources which discuss the cartoon and movie versions, either in regard to how the actors portrayed the character, how the writers approached the character, or how the character matched/differed from the comics version. Real World content instead of lots of plot. ThuranX (talk) 18:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I give up. Screw it up as much as you want. (JoeLoeb (talk) 02:51, 28 August 2009 (UTC))

How much is to much info?
You guys decide, I like things to be informative, but others prefer the latter. I have problems with 2 people (DCI and ThuRex) who keep reverting the article back to crap after it was doing nothing for years. (JoeLoeb (talk) 02:55, 28 August 2009 (UTC))

 * I think that what happened is the DCI decided to clean it up, which both you and I noticed in our watchlists. I think that while DCI was right, his pruning was excessive; you seem to think the article was fine. I am trying to find a medium, which isn't an issue list, but focuses on the real world content, while you'd prefer it to be a long, detailed plot/character history. I really think we can all work on this together - note that DCI isn't blanket reverting your changes OR mine back to his version, he IS working with you. But the fact that you both are ignoring the talk page after I left you both notes about it, repeated notes, in fact, doesn't make things easier, nor does a 20K page explosion, a blanking the na revert to your own favorite version. ThuranX (talk) 03:16, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I am more than willing to cooperate, but JoeLoeb apparently doesn't know how we do things around here; and either doesn't understand or is ignorning my reasons for editing - he sure doesn't respond to them. And I trimmed down the history section because it was written "in-universe" and described Scarecrow's appearances in excessive detail. DCincarnate (talk)

 * You're not making it any easier, you know. I keep trying to get you two to talk, but you're both far more interested in taking cheap shots at each other when you communicate at all, and both of you are just edit warring now, each pushing it back to what they want. At this point, if you can't talk back here, don't edit out there, because my next step is taking you both to the edit warring noticeboard. Either discuss or step away from the page. ThuranX (talk) 15:32, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Huh? Have you read his talk page? I have tried to discuss with him but its impossible. He believes the Scarecrow article should not be edited, and thinks I'm destroying it - and now he is saying you're a problem for reverting the article "back to crap". Really, I don't know how to deal with this guy. DCincarnate (talk) 17:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Alright, the article was fine, this a major character and its about as long as Hoelun, the mother of Ghenghis Khan. You have deleted over half of the page and nearly ever image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.174.248 (talk) 23:04, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Artiicle title
Before this gets moved again... and the alternate page that was created has been moved to Scarecrow (comics)/Suggested SI for the time being...

Yes, Wikipedia naming conventions hold that a dab phrase be used when more than one article would use the same title. And yes, the same conventions hold that the phrases be such that the specific subject is easily IDed.

However, the convention also takes into account that dab phrases are also assigned based on how likely a particular unique subject is going to be searched for and how many topics exist for an article title, or a tighter subset of it.

In the case of characters named "Scarecrow" in comics we are already talking about a very limited subset of the articles that would use the title "Scarecrow". As the suggested set index shows we've got 3 articles and an "umbrella" note about the adaptations of a single character in literature, so 4 items. Of the four, 1 (the adaptation) is more likely to be searched for under Scarecrow (Oz). And another is more likely to be looked for under the name the publisher is using to differentiate it from their "other Scarecrow" - Straw Man (comics). Of the two that are left, the DC character, is the more likely to be looked for under Scarecrow (comics). All that requires is for a hatnote to the other article primarily focused on a comic book topic that shares the base title.

Since that is what we currently have, there isn't a need to move things around.

- J Greb (talk) 22:11, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Considering that the character now called "Straw Man" made his three most significant, cover logo appearances with the name "Scarecrow," I'm not sure I agree with your reasoning, but I won't change it back if this is the consensus. The only other time I ended up in a dab argument like this was for Tom Jones, which I see has now been fixed rather than going automatically to the singer. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 05:24, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Abbots Leigh

Abbots Leigh is a village and civil parish in North Somerset, England, about 3 mi west of the centre of Bristol.

History
The original Middle English name was Lega, and the village became Abbots Leigh in the mid-12th century when Robert Fitzharding (1st Earl of Berkeley) purchased the manor, having been rewarded as Lord of the Manor of Portbury by the king. He also purchased Bedminster, Hareclive and Billeswick manors. He went on to found the Abbey of St Augustine at what was Billeswick, and bequeathed the income from the parish to support the abbey. Because of this connection to the abbey, when the Diocese of Bristol was carved out of the Bath and Wells, Gloucester and Worcester diocesan territories (Patent Roll, Henry VIII, Art. 9, June 1542) the new diocese's boundary was drawn to include the parish, including the Saxon enclosure at Hamgreen which had been part of Portbury manor lands until then. All the surrounding parishes in Somerset are in Bath and Wells diocese. The parish map shows this meandering historic boundary which puts St Katherine's School and Chapel Pill Farm both within the parish.

The parish of Abbots Leigh was part of the Portbury Hundred.

The manor house here, also named Abbot's Leigh or Leigh Court, was a resting place of Charles II during his escape to France in 1651. He arrived on the evening of 12 September, and stayed at the home of Mr and Mrs George Norton, who were friends of the King's travelling companion, Jane Lane. The Nortons were unaware of the King's identity during his three-day stay.

A description of the house appears in the book The Escape of Charles II, After the Battle of Worcester by Richard Ollard: Watercolour images of Abbot's Leigh House

"'Abbots Leigh was the most magnificent of all the houses in which Charles was sheltered during his escape. A drawing made in 1788, only twenty years before it was pulled down, shows a main front of twelve gables, surmounting three storeys of cowled windows; a comfortable, solid west country Elizabethan house.'"

While staying at Abbots Leigh, Charles deflected suspicion by asking a trooper, who had been in the King's personal guard, to describe the King's appearance and clothing at the Battle of Worcester. The man looked at Charles and said, "The King was at least three inches taller than you."

The King's escape route is commemorated in the Monarch's Way long-distance footpath which passes through the village.

Hymn tune
In 1942, during World War II, Rev. Cyril Vincent Taylor (1907–1991), then a producer of Religious Broadcasting at the BBC and stationed in the village, wrote a hymn tune which he named after it. The tune was originally written for the hymn "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken". This hymn had usually been sung to the tune "Austrian Hymn", or Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, but since the national anthem of then-enemy Germany was also sung to that tune, new music was needed in wartime Britain. Other hymn texts now commonly sung to the same tune include "Father Lord of All Creation", "God is Here", "Go My Children, With my Blessing", "God is Love, Let Heaven Adore Him", and "Lord, You Give the Great Commission".

Governance
The parish is in the unitary authority of North Somerset which was created in 1996, under the Local Government Act 1992. It provides a single tier of local government with responsibility for almost all local government functions within its area, including local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection, recycling, cemeteries, crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism. It is also responsible for education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, Trading Standards, waste disposal and strategic planning, although fire, police and ambulance services are provided jointly with other authorities through the Avon Fire and Rescue Service, Avon and Somerset Constabulary and the South Western Ambulance Service.

North Somerset's area covers part of the ceremonial county of Somerset but it is administered independently of the non-metropolitan county. Its administrative headquarters is in the town hall in Weston-super-Mare. Between 1 April 1974 and 1 April 1996, it was the Woodspring district of the county of Avon. Before 1974 that the parish was part of the Long Ashton Rural District.

The parish is represented in the House of Commons as part of the North Somerset county constituency, which elects one MP, currently Liam Fox of the Conservative Party.

Parish church
The Church of England parish church of the Holy Trinity is a 15th-century Perpendicular Gothic building, restored and partially rebuilt in 1847–48 after a fire. The tower has six bells, three of which were cast in 1781 by William Bilbie of the Bilbie family. English Heritage has designated Holy Trinity a Grade II* listed building.

Greek Theatre (Los Angeles)

Greek Theatre is an amphitheatre and performance venue located in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California, which has been hosting various live performances and music concerts since its opening in the early 1930s. Today, the theatre is owned by the City of Los Angeles and operated by ASM Global (AEG Ogden). Designed by architects Samuel Tilden Norton, Frederick Hastings Wallisand, and Tacoma firm Heath, Gove, & Bell, the main stage and seating layout were inspired by Ancient Greek-style amphitheaters.

History
The idea for the Greek Theatre originated with wealthy landowner Griffith J. Griffith, who donated 3,000 acre of land to the city of Los Angeles in 1896 to create Griffith Park. In his will he left money for the construction of a Greek theatre. A canyon site was chosen because of its good acoustics. The cornerstone was laid in 1928 and the building was dedicated on September 25, 1930. The first performance took place on June 26, 1931, attended by a capacity crowd of 4,000.

During its first decades the theatre was rarely used, and it was used as a barracks during World War II. In the late 1940s a San Francisco producer brought touring shows to the venue. In 1952 (and for the next 23 years) James A. Doolittle, a Los Angeles dance impresario, leased the theatre and upgraded it with better seating and backstage equipment. Over time, Doolittle brought classical productions, entertainers and popular music concerts to the venue in a mixed summer season. Under his management the Greek Theatre introduced Los Angeles to many of the celebrated dance, opera and foreign theatre companies of the world and was credited at the time with enhancing Los Angeles's cultural image. Some of these foreign visitors came to America for the first time at the instigation of Doolittle and the Greek Theatre Association, and continued their successful tours in New York City -- a reversal of the traditional route of importation at the time. Between 1975 and 2015, the theatre was managed by the Nederlander Organization, which further improved it and continued a regular rotation of contemporary and classical productions and concerts. The theatre underwent an earthquake retrofit in 1995. In 2006 the facade was renovated in celebration of the venue's 75th anniversary. In 2015, Live Nation attempted to replace Nederlander in operating the theatre, leading to a joint venture with Live Nation and Nederlander, along with Goldenvoice, programming shows while SMG managed the venue.

The venue cancelled its season in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic which would have been its 90th anniversary and also put up for sale their red chairs that were replaced for renovation in the terrace sections.

Capacity
In 1983, the Greek Theatre's seating capacity was expanded to 6,187, but renovations brought the Greek Theatre's capacity down to 6,162 in 1995 and to 5,700 in 2004. In 2009 the Los Angeles Fire Marshal permitted the addition of two more rows in the pit, bringing full capacity at the Greek to 5,870 seated and 5,900 general admission.

Current usage
The Greek Theatre is used for concerts, stage shows, and graduation ceremonies for Thomas Starr King Middle School and John Marshall High School, among others.

The annual Bell-Jeff Invitational cross country running event starts adjacent to the theater.

Filming and recording
Several live recordings and televised concert specials have been recorded and filmed at the Greek, including shows by The Go-Go's, Ringo Starr, Joe Bonamassa and Chicago. Movies that have been filmed at the theatre include Bye Bye Birdie (1963) and Get Him to the Greek (2010).

The live concert scene of the song "Shallow", as performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in the 2018 adaptation of the film A Star Is Born, was filmed at the Greek.

Neil Diamond recorded his live album, Hot August Night (1972), at the Greek Theatre, and four years later, returned to record Love at the Greek (1976), from which footage was used for a televised concert special.

The British-American rock band America recorded their America Live (1977) album at the Greek.

Imgard edits:

--ZappaZ 20:51, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * What is the importance of a letter to Introvigne from Shupe? Care to explain? Thanks.
 * If you mention Shupe deposition and blanket criticize it, you ought to add context and present a summary of that deposition.

Shupe testimony at Jason's case
Please stick to facts and check your sources:

 * [12] The issue of the admissibility of Shupe's testimony was not properly preserved for review because the district court's ruling lacked definitiveness. Although Scott was not precluded from calling Shupe as an expert, the court would have considered objections to specific testimony. CAN failed to object or move to strike Shupe's testimony. That the court might have sustained objections did not mean that the court wrongly admitted Shupe's testimony.

 * [14] The district court properly admitted Shupe's testimony. Shupe was qualified. CAN's argument that Shupe did not study CAN or its practices did not undermine Shupe's credibility.

 * [15] Shupe's testimony was proper because he testified regarding matters beyond the general knowledge of jurors. That CAN denied endorsing or performing violent deprogrammings did not make Shupe's testimony excludable. This was taken up on cross-examination.

 * [16] Shupe's testimony conformed to a generally accepted explanatory theory. Because Shupe provided the jury with useful information about the anti-cult movement and was available for cross-examination, the probative value of his testimony outweighed any prejudicial effect

 * [17] Rule 703 allows an expert witness to form an opinion based on facts or data, either before or at the hearing. The facts or data relied upon need not be otherwise admissible if they are of a type reasonably relied on by experts in a particular field. Shupe's citations to his studies and collaboration with other academics as the basis for his opinions sufficed to merit admission of his testimony.

Now we need to summarize the above and add to the criticism section. --ZappaZ 21:22, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Either we summarize Shupe testimony fairly or we do not include anything about it. Removed for now. I also removed the thing about Introvigne being a friend. What is encyclopedic about that? --ZappaZ 16:58, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Attention - if it was about Introvigne being a friend and colleague of Shupe, it would not be remarkable at all, but it is Scientology lawyer Kendrick Moxon, whom Shupe calls his friend (in a letter to Introvigne which Introvigne published on the Internet). Moxon is anything but a neutral person in the question of New Religions Movements. He is among the leading and most aggressive lawyers in almost all important Scientology processes, and he was (like L. Ron Hubbard and others) convicted in 1982 as an "Unindicted Co-Conspirator" in the case "US vs Mary Sue Hubbard et al.". And such a friendship does definitely throw some doubts on the neutrality of a scientist studying new religions, so it should be mentioned in the encyclopedia. --Irmgard 17:43, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I restored the Moxon reference but omitted the Introvigne detail. I think that it was a bit confusing in this context. -Willmcw 22:48, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes. Thanks. --ZappaZ [[Image:Yin_yang.svg|12px]] 23:51, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Skeptic Magazine
I removed the reference citing Tilman and one of the references to an article in Skeptic Magazine. Neither are reliable sources. Neither are academics or authorities. Even though Professor Kent's paper also appears in Skeptic Magazine, Kent is an accademic (a reliable source)John196920022001 21:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Please read The Skeptics Society and WP:RS. --Tilman 23:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I see Fossa is on his usual vandalism tour again, claiming that whatever he doesn't like is from a "not reputable source". More on the skeptic society: --Tilman 23:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I see, you use the Skeptic website to "show" their reputability. Impressive evidence. Fossa ?!  03:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * First I showed you The Skeptics Society, which has The Skeptics Society is a nonprofit, member-supported organization devoted to promoting scientific skepticism and resisting the spread of pseudoscience, superstition, and irrational beliefs. Then I showed you the link about themselves, about the publisher: Dr. Shermer is a contributing editor and monthly columnist for Scientific American, and is the host of the Skeptics Distinguished Lecture Series at Caltech. How more scientific can one be? You did not explain why "The Skeptic" magazine is not a reliable source, you "just allege it". --Tilman 07:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, now you are citing a Wikipedia article as proof for reputability. Interesting. How much more reputable can you get than "Dr. Shermer is a contributing editor and monthly columnist for Scientific American"? Hm, to start with, where are his academic credentials? But that's besides the Point. Stephen Kent has academic credentials, but The Skeptic magazine hasn't. It's just an activist organzation, no more. If some academic writes for the KKK, doesn't mean that the KKK becomes reputable. Fossa ?!  16:56, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * His academic credentials were mentioned in the link that you didn't read: Dr. Shermer received his B.A. in psychology from Pepperdine University, M.A. in experimental psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and his Ph.D. in the history of science from Claremont Graduate School. He worked as a college professor for 20 years (1979–1998), teaching psychology, evolution, and the history of science at Occidental College, California State University Los Angeles, and Glendale College.. If the Skeptic is an "activist organisation", it is activist for science and against pseudoscience.
 * I have taken this on, and they have told me that it is ok. So you will be reverted later anyway. Your comparison of the Skeptics organisation with the KKK is scurrilous. --Tilman 17:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * So what exactly did the publish in scientific publications? Fossa ?!  18:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Your text above does not make any sense. --Tilman 18:56, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * See at Wikipedia talk:Attribution a discussion of this magazine as a reliable source. It is a print journal for science education and science advocacy, with a stated editorial board and with identified authors, which is subscribed to my most university libraries. It publishes articles in which claims of psychic power and fringe scientific theories are examing by qualified researchers using the scientific method. It is not considered a tabloid or fringe publication. It appears to be an appropriate journal to quote, and it is unreasonable to arbitrarily deleted material cited from it because an editor disagrees with it. Edison 23:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Removed a chunk based only on this source as it is not suitable for a BLP. Itsmejudith (talk) 23:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Really? Why not? AndroidCat (talk) 03:52, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Livadia Palace

Livadia Palace (Ливадийский дворец, Лівадійський палац) is a former summer retreat of the last Russian tsar, Nicholas II, and his family in Livadiya, Crimea. The Yalta Conference was held there in 1945, when the palace housed the apartments of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and other members of the American delegation – the Soviet delegation was housed in the Yusupov Palace, and the British in the Vorontsov Palace some eight kilometers distant. The palace houses a museum, and is sometimes used for international summits.

History

Formerly granted to Lambros Katsonis and later a possession of the Potocki family, the Livadia estate became a summer residence of the Russian imperial family in the 1860s, when architect Ippolito Monighetti built a large palace, a small palace, and a church there. The residence was frequented by Alexander II of Russia, while his successor Alexander III used to live (and died) in the smaller palace. His son Nicholas II decided to have the larger palace demolished and replaced with a larger structure. (The smaller palace was preserved, as the place of his father's death, but was later destroyed during World War II.)

Around 1909, Nikolay Krasnov, Yalta's most fashionable architect, responsible for the grand ducal residences in Koreiz, was engaged to prepare plans for a new imperial palace. The Tsar's diary indicates that the design was much discussed in the Imperial Family; it was decided that all four façades of the palace should look different. After 17 months of construction, the new palace was inaugurated on 11 September 1911. In November Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna celebrated her 16th birthday at Livadia.

After the February Revolution in 1917, Nicholas's mother, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, fled to Livadia with some other members of the Imperial family. They were eventually rescued by the British ship HMS Marlborough, sent by the Dowager Empress's nephew, King George V.

During the Second World War, a ceremony marking the successful completion of the German Crimean Campaign (1941–1942), with the capture of Sevastopol by the German 11th Army under the command of General Erich von Manstein, and Manstein's promotion to the rank of Generalfeldmarschall (field marshal), was held in the garden of Livadia Palace on July 6, 1942. Participants included officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers who were awarded the German "Ritterkreuz" (Knight's Cross) and the "Deutsches Kreuz in Gold" (German Cross in Gold).

The palace, once used as a mental institution, became a historical museum. Most of the historical furnishings have been lost, but anything that has been recovered can be seen for a small fee. In August 2007 the palace was recognized as a landmark of modern history by the Seven Wonders of Ukraine project. Ukrainian pop singer Sofia Rotaru, who celebrated her 60th birthday at the palace in the company of the presidents of Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova – the second such meeting since the Yalta Conference – funded the restoration of Livadia Palace in 2008.

Numerous academic conferences have been held at the palace. Palace staff actively publish their research. Visitors are particularly interested in the events of 1945.

On 18 November 2017, the 123rd anniversary of Tsar Alexander III's burial, Russian president Vladimir Putin dedicated a monument to Alexander III on the grounds of the Levadia Palace. Putin said in part, "Alexander III loved Russia and believed in it, and, opening this monument today, we pay tribute to his deeds, achievements and merits, express our respect for the indissoluble history of our country, for people of all ranks and classes who honestly served the Fatherland."

Architecture

The Livadia Palace is built of white Crimean limestone in the Neo-Renaissance style. The edifice features an arched portico of Carrara marble, a spacious Arabic patio, an Italian patio, a Florentine tower, ornate Bramantesque windows, a "balcony-belvedere", and multiple bays with jasper vases. A gallery connects the palace with a neo-Byzantine church of the Exaltation of the Cross, built by Monighetti in 1866.

The palace contains 116 rooms, with interiors furnished in different styles. There are a Pompeian vestibule, an English billiard-room, a Neo-baroque dining room, and a Jacob-style study of maple wood, which elicited particular admiration of Nicholas II.
