Lentivirus

Lentivirus is a genus of retroviruses that cause chronic and deadly diseases characterized by long incubation periods, in humans and other mammalian species. The genus includes the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. Lentiviruses are distributed worldwide, and are known to be hosted in apes, cows, goats, horses, cats, and sheep as well as several other mammals.

Lentiviruses can integrate a significant amount of viral complementary DNA into the DNA of the host cell and can efficiently infect nondividing cells, so they are one of the most efficient methods of gene delivery. They can become endogenous, integrating their genome into the host germline genome, so that the virus is henceforth inherited by the host's descendants.

Classification
Five serogroups of lentiviruses are recognized, reflecting the vertebrate hosts with which they are associated (primates, sheep and goats, horses, domestic cats, and cattle). The primate lentiviruses are distinguished by the use of CD4 protein as a receptor and the absence of dUTPase. Some groups have cross-reactive gag antigens (e.g., the ovine, caprine, and feline lentiviruses). Antibodies to gag antigens in lions and other large felines indicate the existence of another yet-to-be identified virus related to feline lentivirus and the ovine/caprine lentiviruses.

Morphology
The virions are enveloped viruses 80–100 nm in diameter. They are spherical or pleomorphic, with capsid cores that mature to a cylindrical or conical shape. Projections of envelope make the surface appear rough, or tiny spikes (about 8 nm) may be dispersed evenly over the surface.

Genome
Lentiviruses contain 2 sense, single-strand RNAs that are bound by nucleocapsid proteins. As with all retroviruses, lentiviruses have gag, pol and env genes, coding for viral proteins in the order: 5´-gag-pol-env-3´. Unlike other retroviruses, however, lentiviruses have two regulatory genes, tat and rev. They may also have additional accessory genes depending on the virus (e.g., for HIV-1: vif, vpr, vpu, nef) whose products are involved in regulation of synthesis and processing viral RNA and other replicative functions. The long terminal repeat (LTR) is about 600 nt long, of which the U3 region is 450, the R sequence 100 and the U5 region some 70 nt long.

Replication
Retroviruses carry proteins within their capsids, which bind the RNA genome. These proteins are typically involved in the early stages of genome replication, and include reverse transcriptase and integrase. Reverse transcriptase is the virally encoded RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. The enzyme uses the viral RNA genome as a template for the synthesis of a complementary DNA copy. Reverse transcriptase possesses [RNase H] activity for destruction of the RNA-template. Integrase binds both the viral cDNA generated by reverse transcriptase and the host DNA. It then processes the LTRs before inserting the viral genome into the host DNA. Tat acts as a trans-activator during transcription to enhance initiation and elongation. The Rev responsive element acts post-transcriptionally, regulating mRNA splicing and transport to the cytoplasm.

Proteome
The lentiviral proteome consists of five major structural proteins and three or four non-structural proteins (three in the primate lentiviruses).

Structural proteins listed by size:
 * 1) Gp120 surface envelope protein SU, encoded by the viral gene env. 120000 Da (daltons).
 * 2) Gp41 transmembrane envelope protein TM, also encoded by the viral gene env.  41000 Da.
 * 3) P24 capsid protein CA, encoded by the viral gene gag.  24000 Da.
 * 4) P17 matrix protein MA, also encoded by gag.  17000 Da.
 * 5) P7/P9 capsid protein NC, also encoded by gag.  7000–11000 Da.

The envelope proteins SU and TM are glycosylated in at least some lentiviruses (HIV, SIV), if not all of them. Glycosylation seems to play a structural role in the concealment and variation of antigenic sites necessary for the host to mount an immune system response.

Enzymes:
 * 1) Reverse transcriptase RT encoded by the pol gene. Protein size 66000 Da.
 * 2) Integrase IN also encoded by the pol gene. Protein size 32000 Da.
 * 3) Protease PR encoded by the pro gene  (part of pol gene in some viruses).
 * 4) dUTPase DU encoded by the pro gene (part of pol gene in some viruses), the role of which is still unknown. Protein size 14000 Da.

Gene regulatory proteins:
 * 1) Tat: main trans-activator
 * 2) Rev: important for synthesis of major viral proteins

Accessory proteins:
 * 1) Nef: negative factor
 * 2) Vpr: regulatory protein
 * 3) Vif: APOBEC3 inhibitor
 * 4) Vpu/Vpx: unique to each type of HIV
 * p6: part of gag

Antigenic properties
Serological relationships: Antigen determinants are type specific and group specific. Antigen determinants that possess type-specific reactivity are found on the envelope. Antigen determinants that possess type-specific reactivity and are involved in antibody mediated neutralization are found on the glycoproteins. Cross-reactivity has been found among some species of the same serotype, but not between members of different genera. Classification of members of this taxon is infrequently based on their antigenic properties.

Epidemiology

 * Symptoms and host range: the virus's hosts are found in the orders Primates (humans, apes and monkeys), Carnivora (cats, dogs and other carnivores), Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla (single and double-toed hooved mammals).
 * Transmission: transmitted by means not involving a vector.
 * Geographic distribution: worldwide.

Physicochemical and physical properties
Classed as having class C morphology
 * General
 * Buoyant density 1.16–1.18 g cm−3 in sucrose
 * Virions sensitive to heat, detergents, and formaldehyde
 * Infectivity not affected by UV irradiation
 * Nucleic acid
 * Virions contain 2% nucleic acid
 * Genome consists of a dimer
 * Virions contain one molecule of (each) linear positive-sense single stranded RNA.
 * Total genome length is of one monomer ranges from 8k-10k nt (depending on the virus).
 * Genome sequence has terminal repeated sequences; long terminal repeats (LTR) (of about 600 nt)
 * The 5' end of the genome has a cap
 * Cap sequence of type 1 m7G5ppp5'GmpNp
 * 3' end of each monomer has a poly (A) tract.
 * 2 copies packed per particle (held together by Watson-Crick baseparing to form a dimer).
 * There are 11 proteins
 * Virions contain 60% protein
 * Five (major)structural virion proteins have been found so far
 * Lipids: Virions contain 35% lipid.
 * Carbohydrates: Other compounds detected in the particles 3% carbohydrates.

Use as gene delivery vectors
Lentivirus is primarily a research tool used to introduce a gene product into in vitro systems or animal models. Large-scale collaborative efforts are underway to use lentiviruses to block the expression of a specific gene using RNA interference technology in high-throughput formats. Conversely, lentivirus are also used to stably over-express certain genes, thus allowing researchers to examine the effect of increased gene expression in a model system.

Another common application is to use a lentivirus to introduce a new gene into human or animal cells. For example, a model of mouse hemophilia is corrected by expressing wild-type platelet-factor VIII, the gene that is mutated in human hemophilia. Lentiviral infection has advantages over other gene-therapy methods including high-efficiency infection of dividing and non-dividing cells, long-term stable expression of a transgene, and low immunogenicity. Lentiviruses have also been successfully used for transduction of diabetic mice with the gene encoding PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), a therapy being considered for use in humans. Finally, lentiviruses have been also used to elicit an immune response against tumor antigens. These treatments, like most current gene therapy experiments, show promise but are yet to be established as safe and effective in controlled human studies. Gammaretroviral and lentiviral vectors have so far been used in more than 300 clinical trials, addressing treatment options for various diseases.

Sports
Students of Koç University founded the American football team Koç Rams, also known as the Istanbul Rams which will play in the European League of Football in the 2022 season.

History
Koç University's central campus at Rumelifeneri is located north of Istanbul, overlooking the Bosphorus and the Black Sea. The campus has 60 buildings, covering 230,000 square meters of built area.

The university first began operations in 1993 in converted factory buildings in İstinye, Sarıyer. After the university moved to its new home at Rumelifeneri, the Istinye campus was remodelled to serve as a high-end conference and training center. Other Koç University campuses and locations include West Campus dormitories and residences (Rumelifeneri, Sarıyer), Koç University Hospital (Topkapı, Istanbul), ANAMED (Beyoğlu, Istanbul), KWORKS (Şişli, Istanbul), AKMED (Antalya), and VEKAM (Ankara).

The Koç University Suna Kıraç Library has five branches and holds some 322,000 print volumes plus nearly 160,000 ebooks and 64,000 online serial titles. The Library also holds about 2,000 rare materials in the areas of Ottoman and European history, literature and religion.

Architecture
Koç University's Rumelifeneri campus was designed by prominent Boston based American-Iranian architect Mozhan Khadem. Khadem is the chief design architect of all Koç University buildings as well as the master planner of its campus.

According to Khadem, the architecture of the campus was inspired by light and the significance of the university's geographical location on the border between Europe and Asia. Khadem also sites inspiration from Turkish artistic and poetic heritage, the works of the Sufi poet Rumi, and Turkish and Ottoman architectural styles.

The campus is laid out along an east–west axis: architecturally the university represents a ‘gateway of knowledge and light’, symbolized by the university's ‘Portal of Knowledge’ – the campus's arched main entrance represents both a gateway of knowledge and a gateway between East and West. Situated among hills overlooking the Black Sea, the stepped architecture allows the campus to integrate within the steep contours of the surrounding terrain.

The campus consists of a series of connected buildings surrounding a variety of interlocking courtyards. These courtyards draw on Ottoman architectural tradition and are replete with symbols of Turkish history and culture.

The campus is compact and designed for pedestrians. Students and staff can move from place to place either through open courtyards or under cover. The campus utilizes a four by four meter modular design to accommodate different spatial needs.

The final stage of the Rumelifeneri campus construction plan was realized in 2018 with the completion of a sixth faculty building, an extension to the library, and several new dormitory buildings.

Talk:Grand River Transit

'Other Canadian public transport operators'
What context does this section provide? It seems quite the scattered selection - from the country's largest (Toronto) to a now-defunct service (Iqaluit). It may be better to put together a template of these, for better flexibility and presentation... Radagast 13:43, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not exactly sure what the purpose is - lists such as this seem to show up under 'See also' on each transit operator's page; I renamed it to 'Other Canadian public transport operators' to make it clear that those pages don't actually say anything about Grand River Transit. Personally, I don't see much point in having the list at all: the category system already provides such links if they're needed, and it's not as if the other systems are particularly related or connected to GRT. David Arthur 14:27, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Streetcars

 * the former Kitchener Transit (which also served Waterloo, previously with both streetcars and trolleybuses)

Did Kitchener Transit ever actually run streetcars? My impression was that they were all under the authority of the Grand River Railway and the earlier companies it absorbed, and that there were no further such services after it ceased passenger services. David Arthur 21:26, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
 * When did KT begin operations? I know the streetcars stopped running in about the '40s; I don't think KT goes back that far, but I may be mistaken. If it doesn't, then they were likely a GRR operation. Radagast 02:39, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Fares
How about a fare table?? Bacl-presby 00:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

R&T Park station
R&T Park (University of Waterloo Research & Technology Park, Hagey Road and Wes Graham Way) The University of Waterloo’s Research and Technology Park station is used mainly by students; the iXpress and GRT's Late Night Loop are the only routes to run on Hagey Boulevard

I use this station, and I can't say that I believe it to be mainly used by students. As I see it, the only students that would be using this stop would be those going to Optometry or to Columbia Icefields. On the other hand, there are several businesses in the R&T Park, such as Sybase, Open Text, those in the Accelerator Centre, and TechTown. If this station is used mainly by students, then I guess I don't see them on my trips. -- timc  talk   17:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Just created this (by virtue of it being active in GO's pages now, with services starting Halloween). Please feel free to add improvements as you see fit. Radagast (talk) 02:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Is the ixpress bus "rapid" transit? No.
If you took this bus today at 12:15pm from Ainslie in Cambridge, you would arrive at Fairview Mall at 12:52pm and at Conestoga Mall at 1:45pm.http://web.grt.ca/HastinfoWeb/RouteSchedules?Date=2017-7-6&RouteDirection=Upward&RoutePublicIdentifier=200&ShowOptions=false&SelectedStopsIdentifiers=

How can we refer to this as rapid transit?? Peter K Burian (talk) 16:15, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

 * It's how the Region/GRT refer to it. I realize it's not the fastest route out there, especially with all the detours of the last few years, but we can't let original research change how sources define it. Radagast (talk) 17:39, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

 * I did some more reading and it's only rapid up to Fairview Park. (With the bus only lane at intersections.) That makes sense since the LRT will run from that station.

 * I revised the text. Peter K Burian (talk) 17:42, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Will GRT operate the Ion Rapid Transit trains?
No such indication here: http://www.grt.ca/en/ion-light-rail.aspx

Also, not according to this: http://www.rideion.ca/what-is-ion.html... Ion will connect with GRT services:

ION is part of a Region-wide transit system that will connect rapid transit with a network of Grand River Transit (GRT) iXpress and local bus routes. ION and GRT will operate with one fare for all services and free transfers between both systems. ION will link to GO Transit, VIA Rail services .... Peter K Burian (talk) 17:08, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

This also suggest that Ion is separate from GRT, though both operated by the Region: http://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/projectinformation/frequentlyaskedquestions.asp

ION will offer residents a new transportation choice: light rail transit (LRT) in two stages Along with Grand River Transit (GRT), ION will create an efficient, integrated, easy-to-use public transit system for all residents in Waterloo Region Peter K Burian (talk) 17:10, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

 * It will be operated by GrandLinq (specifically, Keolis) employees on contract to the Region of Waterloo, who will integrate the service with the GRT network. GRT logos will appear on Ion stations, Ion trains, and the POP transfers issued by both services. The same fare will be accepted on both. Radagast (talk) 21:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Route descriptions
So it's clear from the page-top notices that the route description tables are considered too verbose and detailed for this type of article. With numerous changes coming in just a couple weeks' time (due to Ion launch), this seems the ideal moment to re-work that section of the article to present the content in a more concise and compact manner.

I'm going to work on some concepts that I will show here; feel free to add your own or provide feedback. Radagast (talk) 15:11, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Here's a first go. 'Stations' refers to either Ion stations or terminals named such by GRT (Boardwalk, Conestoga College, Hespeler, etc). Most routes can work with just those; other termini go in the notes.

Routes

The following is a general summary of route services; for details, consult the |official website. Routes numbered below 100 are local services, in the 200s are express service with the iXpress brand, in the 300s are full rapid transit with the Ion brand.

Radagast (talk) 15:40, 9 June 2019 (UTC) Updated - add more routes, including some in Cambridge Radagast (talk) 22:00, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Having received no feedback (a good thing?) I'm starting a full draft rewrite of the entire article at Draft:Grand River Transit to go live first thing Monday. Feel free to chip in. Radagast (talk) 15:43, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tamaas. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tamaas~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:58, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Eerst ging deze tekst over twee prinsen en toen stond er "they". Nu gaat de hele paragraaf over een prins en vond ik het logischer om "he" te schrijven. (Ik moest het toch verbeteren omdat het woord "as" ontbrak.) Je kunt het ook veranderen in "As soon as he marries..."

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Sukyo Mahikari

Sukyo Mahikari ("Sukyo" means universal principles and "Mahikari" means True Light) is an organization with centers in more than 100 countries. The stated aim of the organization is to help people improve the quality of their lives and attain happiness by practicing universal principles and a method of spiritual purification called the art of True Light. It was founded by Kōtama Okada in 1959 under the name L. H. Yokoshi no Tomo. Sukyo Mahikari was registered on June 23, 1978, by Keishu Okada as part of an amicable settlement following the passing of Kōtama Okada. In 2013, Sukyo Mahikari announced it had a membership of approximately one million practitioners.

History
June 23, 1978: The establishment of Sukyo Mahikari is announced by Keishu Okada, the adopted daughter of Kōtama Okada.

October 18, 1984: Inauguration of the Inner Shrine (Okumiya) of the World Shrine near the summit of Mount Kurai.

November 3, 1984: Inauguration of the World Shrine (Suza) in Takayama City.

June 23, 1992: Inauguration of Hikaru Shinden, the shrine dedicated to the founder, Sukuinushisama.

May 5, 2002: Inauguration of the Sukyo Mahikari Youth Centre.

November 3, 2009: It is officially announced that the third spiritual leader will be Mr. Kōō Okada.

Beliefs and practices
The organization aims to promote peace and harmony in society through the practice of a method of spiritual purification and the practice of universal principles, such as gratitude, acceptance, and humility in all aspects of life.

The art of True Light
Sukyo Mahikari introduces a practice to purify one's spiritual aspect as an expedient toward attaining happiness. Radiating Light from the palm of the hand is a method of spiritual purification that cleanses the spirit, mind and body. It is said to help open the way to resolving all manner of problems. By purifying the spiritual aspect with the Light and leading a life based on principles of sustainability, people can revive their spirituality and attain increasing health, harmony and prosperity.

The transmission of Light is referred to as "the art of True Light." Through the palm of the hand, a person (the giver) radiates Light to another person (the receiver), allowing them to purify and revitalize their spirit, mind and body.

Radiating Light can be practiced by anyone who so desires, by attending the Sukyo Mahikari primary course.

A session of Light typically begins with both the giver and receiver offering a short prayer. Next, the giver of Light recites a prayer that is believed to have a strong power to purify (the "Amatsu Norigoto Prayer"). The giver then holds his or her hand approximately 30 centimeters (12 inches) from the receiver's body. Sessions of Light usually last anywhere from 10 to 50 minutes.

Sukyo Mahikari does not advocate the use of the art of True Light as a substitute for medical treatment or therapy. The founder of Mahikari, Mr. Kōtama Okada, taught that the purpose of the art of True Light is not to heal disease or illness, but to be of service to society, bring happiness to people, and attain divine nature.

The art of True Light is said to purify the spiritual realm of one's home and society, making them more peaceful and harmonious. Thus, members are encouraged to radiate the Light to anything, anywhere, and at any time. Thus, the Light is not only radiated to human beings, but also to animals, food, buildings, and the natural environment.

Universal principles
Sukyo Mahikari teaches the concept of universal principles that, when practiced together with the Light, allow one to more quickly attain spiritual and personal growth.

Sukyo Mahikari encourages people to incorporate the divine principles in their daily life by practicing virtues such as altruistic love, gratitude, humility and acceptance of the will of God. Members also practice prayer, cultivating positive and cheerful attitudes, promoting love and harmony, and helping others.

Founder Kōtama Okada believed that if people lived in accordance with the universal principles, they would cultivate their spirituality, and naturally come to use science and technology that was integrated with an understanding of spirituality, to find solutions to pressing issues facing humanity.

Other beliefs
Sukyo Mahikari promotes the practice of yoko agriculture. The practice of yoko agriculture involves organic agriculture combined with the use of positive words and attitudes to help people to cultivate respect for nature and restore soil to its pure and fertile condition. Accordingly, respect for nature and the natural environment is encouraged. The arbitrary use of chemical fertilizers, without consideration for the local environment, is discouraged. The organization has helped to create natural farms and promotes the distribution of natural and organic produce throughout the world.

Headquarters, regional headquarters, and local centers
The headquarters of Sukyo Mahikari is located in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Sukyo Mahikari has established regional headquarters in Australia-Oceania, Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America, and North America, with centers located in over 100 countries. Within the United States and Canada, Sukyo Mahikari has 21 spiritual development centers.

Membership
Sukyo Mahikari had approximately a million practitioners who form its membership as of 2011.

Becoming a member of Sukyo Mahikari does not require giving up any preexisting beliefs or accepting Sukyo Mahikari as the only path or faith. Sukyo Mahikari teaches that the art of True Light and the universal principles transcend religious denominations and differences in ethnicity, nationality, and ideology. Sukyo Mahikari promotes cooperation and understanding between religious organizations toward establishing a sustainable and peaceful society. The emphasis the organization places on the spiritual unity of human beings has resulted in a membership that reflects a diversity of religions and nationalities.

Sukyo Mahikari does not practice any form of tithe. The organization is sustained by the voluntary contributions (offerings) made by members. Rather than the amount, emphasis is placed on making offerings with sincerity. People are encouraged to make offerings that are voluntary and not beyond one's means. There are no mandatory contributions. However, there is a set amount for the appreciation offering to attend the introductory course and the spiritual cord maintenance offering. Members are encouraged to offer the monthly spiritual cord maintenance offering, which is approximately $7 in the U.S. and a similar amount in other regions. Cornille writes that there are a number of types of offerings in the organization: the spiritual cord maintenance offering; True Light appreciation offering; the special protection appreciation offering, and so on.

Yoko Civilization Research Institute
In 1985, Keishu Okada established the Yoko Civilization Research Institute (YCRI). The objective of the forum is to find solutions to today's problems by having leaders in different fields, regardless of their race, nationality, religion, and ideology, come together to share their acquired wisdom.

1st Yoko International Conference was held on Oct 30 to Nov 1, 1986. The theme was "Creating the future of mankind."

2nd Yoko International Conference was held on Oct 28 to Nov 1, 1989. The theme was "What does it mean to be human?"

3rd Yoko International Conference was held on Aug 18 to Aug 21, 1999. The theme was "Life and environment."

4th Yoko International Conference was held on September 18 to Sep 21, 2005. The theme was "Science and religion in the age of crisis."

The 5th Yoko International Conference was supposed to be held on November 20–23, 2011. The theme was "Coexistence between nature and human beings: viewed through agriculture". It was cancelled due to the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Reception
Sukyo Mahikari members have been involved in charity and social services around the world, such as in Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal (planting of trees and revival of national parks), in Angola (activities for children, elderly people, and beautify urban areas) and in both New York and Hawaii (for environmental cleanup activities).

In 2000, Sukyo Mahikari co-sponsored the UN Millennium Summit of World Religious Leaders.

In August 2004, Los Angeles mayor James Hahn presented Sukyo Mahikari of North America with a proclamation commending the organization for its efforts in helping to create a peaceful and harmonious society; and in September 2009, Mayor Mufi Hannemann of Honolulu presented Sukyo Mahikari with a certificate declaring September 27 as Sukyo Mahikari Day in Honolulu in recognition of beach and park cleanup activities that the organization has conducted there over the past ten years.

On May 6, 2010, the New York Center of Sukyo Mahikari was presented with a High Performance Building Plaque from The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in pursuing a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver rating from the U.S. Green Buildings Council. The plaque was given in recognition of energy-efficient measures incorporated into the new center that will help cut its energy costs by $8,400 per year and reduce its carbon footprint in New York City.

In 2014, an award for excellence in reforestation activities was presented to Sukyo Mahikari by the President of Côte d'Ivoire. The award was in recognition of the reforestation activities of the Sukyo Mahikari youth members of Africa. At the presentation ceremony in Takayama, the award was presented on behalf of the president by Côte d'Ivoire's Minister for Environment, Water and Forests, Mr. Mathieu Babaud Darret.

Since 2016, Sukyo Mahikari was granted special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations.

Catherine Cornille writes in a research paper that the attrition rate is high. She also states "The emphasis on miracles and magic in Mahikari, on the other hand, accounts for the large turnover of members..."

Sweet Tomatoes
Hi. Please start leaving "edit summaries" with your edits to guide people of your changes to articles. On Sweet Tomatoes you wrote one line and didn't even mention the restaurant's location. Such short articles are confusing to readers and are candidate for speedy deletion. Can you elaborate further? -- Perfecto 22:03, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

dropping templates on articles
Could you be a bit more careful. You duplicated the Florida template on a number of pages earlier today, and some of us have had to clean-up after you. --  Donald Albury ( Talk )  00:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

New userboxes
I have deleted a userbox template you recently created, as userboxes should no longer be created in templatespace per the terms of the German userbox solution. Here is the userbox code so that you can recreate the userbox in your userspace ("userfying") if you wish.

Image:Charlie crist.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Charlie crist.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Edward 05:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Mlogogreen.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mlogogreen.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Image copyright problem with Image:Districtmap.gif
Thank you for uploading Image:Districtmap.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Cary Bass demandez 14:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Skybus announcement
Actually I just edited the annoucement someone else posted. While I have no specific information on that, the person whom added it has also added other info that makes me believe they are either an employee of Skybus or Port Columbus. Also, as Skybus just received their waiver to begin selling tickets, the announcement has to come very soon. So, while there is no published announcement, I felt that I should leave it until monday.

Fair use rationale for Image:MIAMAYOR1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MIAMAYOR1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:MIAMAYOR1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MIAMAYOR1.jpg.

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

Miami-area special project: Your input needed!
Dear namflnamfl,

You appear to be active in WikiProject Miami, or have contributed a lot recently to Miami-related articles. I would like to invite you to contribute your opinions on a grant proposal for a project that may provide unique and helpful resources for Wikipedia in Miami.

Over the last six months, Wikipedia and Wikinews have been discussing a project proposal with the Knight Foundation which could create a new type of an environment for locally-oriented encyclopedic and news content. The general idea involves an official sanctioning of a local Wiki community in one or two charter areas, one of them being Miami. The Wiki community would be empowered to cover all things Miami -- even things that normally would not pass notability restrictions -- and cover both encyclopedic information as well as current events in the South Florida community. The proposal may even involve the creation of a physical "wiki space": some sort of a local room or office to coordinate efforts and provide community members with a place to create and edit articles.

I'm working on formalizing the proposal, and would like to invite you and other Miami contributors to a project brainstorming session via chat. The chat will take place this Saturday, July 14th, at 12 noon Eastern Time (9am Pacific). If enough people can't make it there will be an additional repeat meeting at some later time.

The online meeting will happen using IRC on the channel #wikipedia-miami -- you can use your own chat client or the use this handy link to join the chat. Please don't forget to provide your username when you log into chat.

I look forward to talking with you. Thanks! -- IlyaHaykinson 04:24, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:User american idol boring
A tag has been placed on Template:User american idol boring requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Speedy deletion of TheU.com
A tag has been placed on TheU.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. скоморохъ 00:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
