Gilbert and Sullivan
Welcome to the G&S project! Nice work on the Dorothy (opera) article. I have to confess I'd never heard of it before but will now try to discover more about it. Happy editing :) --Jmptdc 11:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Ditto to Jmptdc's comment. Marc Shepherd 11:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Looks interesting Mdcollins1984 10:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks. Do you need to add a reference to the census info in the article?  --Ssilvers 20:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I Suppose. I haven't the slightest idea how to cite a census, though. Speaking of the census, there's weird stuff in there.  As of the 1901 census, the D'Oyly Carte household had an 18 year old footman named Arthur Sullivan.  While I've still got this subscription, if you can think of other things to look up, let me know.--Anivron 20:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to cite it, but I notice that in entries about US cities, people say something like "According to the United States Census Bureau" or "According to the 2000 census,". Hope that helps. Maybe the Wikipedia census entry will help? --Ssilvers 22:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a different kind of usage of the census data, though. I personallyf feel in this case it'd be particularly awkward to say, "According to the 1851 United Kingdom Census, François Cellier was the son of.." --Anivron 23:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Here is how a "census" article cited the 1901 census: British census for 1901.  Can you just add it under "External links"?  --Ssilvers 00:01, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid not... it's a paid database of census images (Ancestry.com). If you need to do research of your own for anything, I'll be happy to email you individual pages.--Anivron 01:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, One more try, then I give up: What if you use a "ref tag" like ?

Actor Pictures
Am uploading 'em slowly - Isabel Jay, Francois Cellier, and Rosina Brandram are up. Several additional pictures lack articles, so can't do much there. Wasn't sure where to place Henry Lytton's picture, though. Vanished user 15:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Added Robert Evett, Henry Lytton, and Louie Pounds. Have three more, as you know, who don't yet have articles - if you think they're likely to, I could upload them and put them in the talk pages, though note Richard Barker talks about the wrong Richard Barker. Vanished user 16:34, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

The remaining ones are Agnes Fraser, Richard Barker, and J. Jones Hewson. No Walter Passmore, I fear. Probably would've needed a second page to include everyone. Vanished user 16:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sullivan photo on the G&S page: The lower res one looks better on my computer, and has that "olde fashioned" feel.  See what you think.  -- Ssilvers 05:43, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I had to do some faking to fix some scanner problems, but I bet I can get a cleaner one than both versions if I scan again. Let me know what you think of the more recent scans I did on my image spree a few hours ago, versus the Gilbert, Sullivan, and D'Oyly Carte images which were on a different scanner. --Anivron 05:52, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't know anything about photos, so I really can't judge on any basis other than whether I think it is easier to distinguish features. All the photos look good to me, but some look crisper, which I think is better. Sorry I can't be of more help than that! --Ssilvers 06:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

George Grossmith, Jr.
I put up a page for the son (1874 to 1935). Would you give it a once over to add wikification and correct any typos and other errors you see? I'm somehow missing the stuff that is obliquely referred to in some of the materials about his influence on "cabaret" and "revue". If you can add anything on that, it would be great. Thanks! -- Ssilvers 03:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Cups and Saucers
I'm not very good with categories. Can you look at these and replace them if you know of more appropriate ones for a "sketch" like Cups and Saucers? Thanks! -- Ssilvers 17:04, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Bad news/good news
Well, the bad news is really bad: Marc Shepherd is leaving Wikipedia. He is definitely the most active and extremely knowledgeable person on the project. I hope the rest of us can nevertheless make good progress without him. If you know anyone energetic who can help us, please invite them! Good news: I added a bunch of the minor Savoy operas and curtain raisers today. Please take a look at them if you have time. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 02:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

 * It's very disappointing to hear that Marc is leaving (although I must admit I was probably more disappointed when he discontinued updates on his discography site).

 * As for the curtain-raisers, I'll do what I can. They (especially Cups and Saucers and Captain Billy) were my big side interests in the realm of Victorian musical theatre until I discovered Edward German, although I don't know as much about them since they didn't have as wide of an appeal to the general public. --Anivron 03:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I added more new articles on the curtain raisers today, but did not get to Captain Billy. If you have time, go ahead and put up a starter article on Capt. Billy like the ones I have already done.  All the material is there in the same external links.  Best regards.  --Ssilvers 02:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Amiga wikiproject
Thank you for notifying me; I knew already (noticed a few hours before) and was going to add myself to the project anyways.-- Roc VallèsTalk - 04:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Edward German
Thanks for the edits. Is there another reference or external link that you can add regarding the material you added today? Regards, -- Ssilvers 00:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice work on Tom Jones. Do you have an image that would work?  Best regards -- Ssilvers 18:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Truth be told, the vocal score I ordered came in. :)  But I'll see about getting a picture... --Anivron 18:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I found this great article on German: http://www.naxos.com/mainsite/blurbs_reviews.asp?catNum=223419&filetype=About%20this%20Recording&language=English -- Ssilvers 15:01, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

The Grand Duke
My pleasure - it's always been one of my favorite G&S-related images. Probably my favorite of the operettas, too, honestly - there's so much wonderful music in it that gets constantly ignored.

Incidentally, the same site has a lot of good actor/performance images for most of the Savoy Operas, and given their age they should be public domain material; I got the Utopia Limited illustrations from there not too long ago, actually. --AlbertHerring 07:12, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Texas in the South
Hi, I was just wondering what your opinion on Texas being part of the South is. There has been some debate about this; 86% of Texans consider themselves Southerners, and Texas was part of the Confederacy, but many non-Texans group Texas with the Southwest. If we can get the opinions of people from the Deep South about Texas, it would help. Thanks! --Stallions2010 19:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Edward German collaborators
Any chance you could put up something for Robert Courtneidge and/or Alexander M. Thompson? I'm overwhelmed at work, or I'd do it. -- Ssilvers 17:00, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll try. I'm trying to finish reading A Musical Peacemaker right now so I can go to a much higher level of detail on German, such as his personality and contemporary appreciations and criticisms of his work.  If anything shows up on Courtneidge and Thompson, which it inevitably will knowing the author's style so far, I'll be sure and get right to it then.  (Interestingly, I suddenly recall that I had them originally red-linked when I started the Tom Jones article.  You or someone else must've removed them while 'wikifying'. :) )--Anivron 20:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Someone added stuff to A Princess of Kensington. Would you please check it and see if you agree with what is added? POV words like "unfortunately" should come out, at least. Regards, -- Ssilvers 15:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I expanded the new articles on Courtneidge and the Original Shaftesbury Theatre. Happy Thanksgiving.  -- Ssilvers 21:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

W. S. Gilbert FA candidate
Dear WP:G&S participant: The W. S. Gilbert article has received a lot of work in the past month and it has been nominated as a Featured Article. Please review it and then weigh in on the nomination at Featured article candidates/W. S. Gilbert if you have a chance. Regards, -- Ssilvers 02:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Princess Ida
Someone changed a name in the historical casting. Is this right? I don't have access to R&W, but it is hard to believe that Marc could have made a mistake of this kind. -- Ssilvers 23:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Rock Trial
This article has been proposed for deletion. You can vote at Articles for deletion/Rock Trial. I believe that this is not notable. -- Ssilvers 23:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

G&S
The G&S article is a Featured Article on Italian Wikipedia: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_e_Sullivan

Can we copy anything from the Italian WP for our article? It seems like, at a minimum, there are a few photos that can be copied, either for the G&S article, or for the author's or composer's articles? -- Ssilvers 02:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tiefling

Pronunciation
There isn't a 4.5 and official word from WotC is that there will not ever be a 4.5 edition, so calling 4th-edition 4.0 comes across as petty trolling. Don't do it.

How do you pronounce this? I've heard "TEE'-fling" and I've heard "TY'-fling."
 * In Planescape: Torment, the word is always pronounced "TEE-fling", and I've never seen any official material pronounce it otherwise.
 * Sorry, TEE-fling sounds horrible. I would only go for TY'fling. --Calidore Chase 12:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The word seems Germanic and would thus be pronounced TEE-Fling. --Infosocialist 09:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've only ever heard it pronounced TY'fling. --Ebyabe 14:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Planescape: Torment made it clear that it's TEE-fling, though I've always heard it more like TEEF-ling in the game. Anonymous

 * It has been explained to me as a German word and I still use TY-Fling. Expecting an english speaking audience to know a German pronunciation rule, especially when the rest of the pronunciations are fairly obvious is a bit much. That, and "TEEF-ling" sounds like babytalk to me. -- Bear Eagleson
 * It might be German in origin, but remember it was derived from a German word. It is obviously it's own word, as created by Baur, so its pronunciation could be different. Torment made it pretty clear how the word is pronounced. The way the Planescape Setting portrayed tieflings was that of devious, conniving beings. I always liked to think that it was really a corruption of "Thief-ling", and have thus pronunced it TEEF-ling. To each his own though. "TEEF-ling" sounds no more babyish than "TY-fling".-- Vinlund (talk) 21:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * During all of the press videos for the launch of 4e use the TEEF-ling pronunciation, the argument is now moot. 4th-edition tieflings are TEEF-lings.

the first paragraf is written terribly and needs to be rewritten. 81.214.36.116 (talk) 15:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

the person who added the ranting about 4th edition, had better done it in a separate section. the introductory paragraf had been messed up terribly and incomprehensible. 81.214.36.116 (talk) 15:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Tieflings and Half-Fiends
Does anyone know if a Half-Fiend counts as a Tiefling or not? I know a Tiefling can be further down the descent than a half-fiend can, but I was wondering if a half-fiend might count as one themselves? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.27.191.54 (talk) 03:42, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * @65.27.191.54 half-fiends can be and most of the time are teiflings 166.70.56.77 (talk) 03:44, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

 * In the original Planescape boxed set, a Tiefling was described as half human, half something (assumedly lower planar) else. While it is suggested there are tieflings who may be half bloods, the Planewalker's Handbook suggests most of them a quarter or less fiendish. -- Bear Eagleson

Non-notable?... surely you jest
Given that this is a main player race in D&D 4th edition, the most extensive and one of the most played roleplaying system developed by man. There really doesn't seem to be much justification for the non-notable tag. If no one objects after a few days, I or whoever reads this should remove the tag. If you want to debate, please feel free to contact me, I won't make any moves if there is objection.M4bwav (talk) 22:42, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

deep, not devil
"Baur derived the name from teufel, or "Devil" in German. The direct translation of tiefling, however, would be "deepling," since tief means "deep." A closer derivation from teufel would be teufling."

This is unsourced and seems wrong. Probably he intentionally chose tief because of its meanings of deep, lower (planes), nether(world), under(world). I doubt it was a misspelling of Teufel!--206.248.172.247 (talk) 19:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentionally meant to invoke both words. --86.135.176.189 (talk) 20:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

4e centric
This article has become very 4e centric. While I recognize it reflects the current version of thieflings, they have a long history in FR and especially Planescape where they were significant diffrent, so a little more room should be reserved to describing how they were pre-4e. Huyderman (talk) 08:48, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I probably need to do something similar to what I did with Eladrin. BOZ (talk) 14:20, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

 * And so I have! :) BOZ (talk) 13:51, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

As I see it, the entire fictional history section is 4e-centric. It also appears to be the sole reason for the in-universe tag, as the rest of the article cites specific products and publications. I think that this section should be summarized and added to the 4e section, if not removed entirely. Would someone who is more familiar with 4e tiefling products care to take a stab that? - Sangrolu (talk) 12:23, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed; we should strike a balance between each version of the creature. As far as a fictional history as a race, I don't know if there was much of a coherent history before 4th edition, just kind of "yeah, they're decended from fiends." So, if that is correct, there should be more such background info regarding 4E than other editions, but we're not talking a few paragraphs worth as much as a few sentences. The best way to do it, as I see it, would be to have a paragraph or section saying "In 2E/Planescape, they were presented this way, in 3E they were presented this way, and in 4E they have been presented this way." That would keep things in perspective, and reduce the amount of in-universe text. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 14:24, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Other Media and Copyright?
I was wondering if the Term is Copyrighted/Owned by Wizards of the Coast, who owns the rights to D&D. While looking for hints to use of the term in other media, I noticed that most (all?) of the other media listed in this article are actually D&D licensed works, so I wouldn't quite call it other media. Anyone aware of the term being used outside of D&D / WotC franchises? NorPhi (talk) 16:25, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

 * One form of media is print (RPGs), another is video games, another is TV, another is film... 8.37.179.254 (talk) 22:04, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm normally pretty liberal with my application of WP:FICT. I think most fiction deserves a chance here. But individual cartoon episodes that last 11 minutes are not in any way notable (with extremely rare exceptions, such as Steamboat Willy).

Tom Villard

Thomas Louis Villard (November 19, 1953 – November 14, 1994) was an American actor. He is known for his leading role in the 1980s series We Got It Made, as well as roles in feature films Grease 2, One Crazy Summer, Heartbreak Ridge, My Girl, and Popcorn.

Early life
Villard was born in Waipahu, Territory of Hawaii, and grew up in Spencerport, New York, the son of Diane Ruth (MacNaughton), a teacher for students with emotional challenges, and Ronald Louis Villard, a photochemical engineer. He attended Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania, before moving to New York City to attend the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute and the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in the early 1970s. In 1980, Villard moved to Los Angeles and soon started landing roles on television and in movies. He also continued performing on stage until the end of his career.

Career
Villard appeared throughout his career on television, in feature films, and on stage around the country. He was featured in situation comedies, episodic TV series, and had leading roles in lower and mid-range budgeted features. He had several television appearances most notably appearing on The Golden Girls and as a panelist on Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour. At the peak of his career Villard was given featured supporting roles in big-budget studio fare, such as Clint Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge, and My Girl (with Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis). Villard also had the title role in the 1987 independent film The Trouble With Dick, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. One of his final roles was playing a Bajoran monk on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Personal life and illness
Toward the end of his life, Villard became one of the few actors in Hollywood in the early 1990s who chose to be open about his homosexuality, and the challenge of living with HIV and AIDS. In February 1994, Villard made an unprecedented appearance on Entertainment Tonight, acknowledging to "...more than 13 million viewers that he was gay, that he had AIDS, and that he needed some help."

According to a POZ magazine profile in December of that year Villard said, "An awful lot of people suddenly wouldn't let me in the door for auditions. I started speaking a couple of months ago about living with AIDS and having hope," he said. "It feels a little more useful than things (I've done) in the past." He went on to explain that since his appearance on E.T., a whole other group of people had come forward to welcome him. Bill Melamed, Villard's manager added: "I'm particularly proud of him. The reality is, acting is a lousy business... He made a decision that was courageous in any walk of life, but it doesn't surprise me. He has one of the most open spirits."

Death
On November 14, 1994, five days shy of his 41st birthday, Villard died of AIDS-related pneumonia.

As a tribute to him, a non-profit foundation was created by his partner Scott Chambliss, close friend Caren Kaye, and his friend and chiropractor Cheryl Revkin. The Tom Villard Foundation was a Silver Lake community-based effort which engaged local businesses to provide free goods and services for community members living with AIDS. The beneficiaries were the client base of the former Silver Lake AIDS support organization, Being Alive. The Tom Villard Foundation no longer exists. Being Alive is now headquartered in West Hollywood.

Medhankara

Medhankara is the name of several distinguished members, in medieval times, of the Buddhist order:

 * The oldest flourished about 1200, and was the author of the Vinaya Artha Samuccaya, a work in the Sinhalese language on Buddhist Canon law.
 * Next after him came Araññaka Medhankara, who presided over the Buddhist council held at Polonnaruwa, then the capital of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), in 1250.
 * The third, Vanaratana Medhankara, flourished in 1280, and wrote a poem in Pāli, Jina Carita, on the life of the Buddha. He also wrote the Payoga Siddhi.
 * The fourth was the celebrated scholar to whom King Parākrama Bāhu IV of Ceylon entrusted in 1307 the translation from Pali into Sinhalese of the Jātaka book, the most voluminous extant work in Sinhalese.
 * The fifth, a Burmese, was called the Sangharaja Nava Medhankara, and wrote in Pali a work entitled the Loka Padipa fara, on cosmogony and allied subjects.

Thanks for remarks on Durants' article
Thanks for your remarks. I don't know of a third-party bio of the Durants. I have considered writing one myself. The problem is most historians (with certain, obvious, exceptions) don't lead very interesting lives. Edward Gibbon, imo, the world's greatest historian, led a life that might put one to sleep. Except for a few years in Parliament and the appointment to a governmental sinecure (that brought him 800 pounds/year) and his association with the Johnson circle, Gibbon devoted most of his life to his monumental work, living off the remnants of his grandfather's fortune left him by his father. Any book about the Durants would probably turn into a synopsis/review of their works.

And the books speak for themselves. I have the entire set (minus "The Life of Greece") and have read them so many times they are literally falling apart. I got lucky one time and Barnes & Noble was selling reprints for $14 a pop! I grabbed up nearly all of them, ordering a couple more from their website.

I love their style of writing. I often read it for its sheer beauty. In this era when the staccato truncation of journalistic writing mars even fiction, its wonderful to read writing as it should be: flowing, sinuous, with an eye for not just the facts but the aesthetics of the effort.

I felt I had to revert my paragraph after it was removed by the Anonymous reader. I also excised his contribution. It is, imo, especially during this time of war with Islamofascists that we avoid playing the game they so desperate want us to play. To whit: a war of "civilizations" between the West and Islam. That was the late Osama bin Laden's game and his successors (Zawahiri and Zarqawi, et al) are pursuing. Fortunately they are mostly getting their lobotomized followers killed; unfortunately they are taking a lot of innocent people with them.

Perhaps 10% of Arab Muslims are fanatical haters of the West (and only a much smaller number of them are prepared to commit acts of horror such as 9/11 and 7/7), the vast majority are not, however much they oppose US/Western policy toward Israel, etc. To lump the overwhelming majority in with a tiny minority is like claiming that the Klan speaks for "white" Americans when its membership isn't above 5,000!

2003 invasion of Iraq
Hi there, when trying to go over the discussion at 2003 invasion of Iraq I saw it has become a big mess. If I see it correctly there was a conflict between an anon and others and now the page has been blocked. I think the anon had a point that an encyclopedia article about any military conflict should not be written exclusively by three members of one the conflicting parties, in this case Pookster11, Swatjester, and Dawgknot who according to this comment all belong to the US military. I therefore suggest to get more people into the boat, that should take the wind out of the sails of bias allegations. As I saw you also edited on that page, would you be willing to help out?

Dear Jebba,

Thanks for your many contributions to wikipedia, content-related and otherwise. I just noticed your monthly contribution... you are my new hero. I hope you can make it out to Wikimania this summer for at least a day; I would love to meet you.

Your generous support is sincerely appreciated. I believe that wikipedia is one of the most important contributions that this generation will have in the world.

Subvertising
Hey Jebba, Just wondering why you removed the link i posted on Subvertising, this was a spoof political organisation/ media hack, they used an alteration/jam of a globaly regnoised brand as there logo.

this fits in with subvertising no?, if not can you give reasons ? regards .k
 * Well, in an article about cars, for example, you don't link to every car manufacturer in the world. It may be an example of a subvertising site, but isn't really "encyclopedic" nor does it enhance the article. Jebba 20:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits made to Alejandro Jodorowsky
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Jebba! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule suicidegirls\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 16:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ya, well Jodorowsky does interviews in weird places. I can see why suicidegirls gets blocked, but it's still legit... /me runs off to talk to a bot, apparently... Jebba 17:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, just to let you know that the link has been removed from the blacklist again (for now). At the moment I blacklisted it I knew it might cause some collatoral damage; I indeed think the link is legit.  The link was blacklisted because it was spammed (wikipedia definition, mass addition of external links) by 72.231.22.203.  I cleaned the pages where this user added the link, but when there is consensus for adding the link, that is fine with me (strictly, WP:NOT and WP:EL would allow some interviews, but linkfarms should be avoided, and the information may be better as a reference, but I'll leave that to other editors on these articles).  I might blacklist it again (for some time) when this user returns.  Hope this explains, regards,  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 18:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Completely understood--thanks for your work removing spam from wikipedia. To me it's amazing how little spam I see in articles, but now watching things like Recent Changes I see that wikipedia gets hit incessantly. I also agree that the interview itself may not be the best external link, but lets leave that decision to page editors and not the bot. ;) Thanks again.  Jebba 18:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * We catch a lot, and more to come. I don't know if you do IRC, but have a look at this.  See you around!  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 19:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

War of 1812 'vandal' not really
68.168.87.115 was right just wrong in where he entered it. At the same time you hit undo I did as well but put in the summary "this fact is handled in just a few sentences later" he's right much of the war was well after 1812. Seems a 'good faith' edit to me not vandalism. Normally I am pretty quick to spot these guys but this one didn't come across at all worthy of warning. Would you consider deleting your warning to him in good faith? Thanks for your time. --Xiahou 01:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * In a subsequent edit nearly all dates have been changed to 1815 (even ones that were 1813 &c.). For example he changed one battle as running from June 18 1815–February 18 1815, which would be backwards in time. I'd suggest taking a closer look at all of that IPs edits to the article.
 * I only saw his first one. After that, heck yea he needs a warning! --Xiahou 01:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually, it appears what you are restoring has the exact same text duplicated twice. Double-check it. Jebba 02:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * He's removed the information about the December 16th court decision which is crucial to all religious minorities from the intro paragraph (sourced) and then info about the specific religious minorities in the bottom paragraphs (Baha'i section for sure sourced). Here's the content that I believe should be there: It's not duplicated info and removes some of the unsourced statements the user has removed, but restores the religious minorities info.

 * Well, at least one edit that I looked at did have some parts duplicated twice. I also removed the whole Egypt Religion section you added to my talk page... Jebba 03:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

It appears that you have installed Twinkle, too, which in itself isn't bad or good, but you should, however, not become dependent on it. When you reverted the edits (vandalism, to be truthfully told) on First law of thermodynamics, you did not completely revert, which I should surmise to be the assumption that only one editor vandalised, or that the rollback feature was truly a miracle. Well, in truth, it isn't, and next time, Jebba, please be careful and perhaps you should check your revision afterwards.:) Thanks. --Qwerty (talk) 13:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Julian Assange
Hi, thanks for your message. The website you mentioned does not actually contain a quotation from Chief prosector Eva Finné, but rather a description of what she said. Viz "Chief prosector Eva Finné has come to the desicion that Julian Assange is not suspected of rape" rather than "Chief prosector Eva Finné said, "I have come to the desicion that Julian Assange is not suspected of rape.""

Her actual words were "I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape.", which is why I replaced your quotation with that one. This actual quotation is being reported by all the major reputable news sites including the BBC, AP, MSNBC and The Guardian, as a quick google search will confirm.

Allegations Against Assange

Jeba, This information that I put up concerning the specific allegations against Assenge is available freely in Sweden and to the Press. They are allegations, and it is public information. I do not say they are true or not (of course I've no idea), and make clear that they are allegations. Yet, any mention of these public allegations either in the Discussion or on Assange's main entry gets deleted. However, unfounded smears and attacks against his alleged victims (reference supported by only by a single blog in the Sates) are allowed to remain. 80.47.55.173 (talk) 06:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It sounds like the unfounded smears referenced in a single blog should be deleted too. I don't know which edits in particular you are talking about, but feel free to delete them in accordance with wikipedia's policies. Thx. Jebba (talk) 17:29, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Conisbrough keep.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Conisbrough keep.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. JeremyA 02:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Rutland House

Rutland House was the name of at least two London houses occupied by the Earls and Dukes of Rutland. That on Aldersgate Street was leased by playwright Sir William Davenant, who converted a room of it into a private theatre in the 1650s. That in Knightsbridge was a six-acre site until its demolition in the 1830s.

Rutland House, Aldersgate Street
Rutland House on Aldersgate Street, near Charterhouse Square in the City of London, close to Smithfield Market, was leased by the playwright and impresario Sir William Davenant (1606–1668).

In 1656, freshly released from imprisonment, Davenant turned a room of the house into what was, at first, a private theatre performing his own plays. Soon the performances were advertised and semi-open to the public at a cost of 5 shillings a head, a figure that ensured that only persons of quality would be able to attend. The reason for Rutland House being used rather than a conventional theatre was to overcome the laws of censorship which operated in all public places following the closures of all public theatres by the Puritan government of Oliver Cromwell.

The house seems to have been not totally suitable for theatrical use; however, a low narrow hall, or salon, at the rear of the house was adapted for the performances. Rather than sitting in comfort, the audience had to sit on improvised benches, and so confined was the space available that the benches had to be arranged at an angle to the small stage to accommodate the large audiences who came. The small stage, described by Davenant as a "Cup-board stage", was adorned with gold and purple curtains. Above the stage in what was contemporarily described as a "louver hole" was concealed a small orchestra.

Davenant had seen Italian opera sung in Paris; this inspired him to conceive a cunning plan: as the Puritan government had no objection to music, only drama, he obtained permission to stage a performance of his opera The Siege of Rhodes, to be sung in "recitative music". Thus, the first English opera was performed at Rutland House in May 1656, simultaneously overcoming the prohibition of drama. The Rutland House production also included England's first professional actress, Mrs. Coleman and was later transferred to the Cockpit Theatre in Drury Lane.

Davenant established at least two other "private performance houses" in Lincoln's Inn Fields and Drury Lane. After Davenant opened more conventional theatres, he continued to use Rutland House to preview new productions, to gauge audience reaction.

Rutland House, Knightsbridge

This was built for John Manners, 3rd Duke of Rutland. It enjoyed at first a rectangular plot of 6 acres in Knightsbridge London, however by its destruction had sold off the north-east quarter for two large houses, one of which, Kent House, likely already served as a subsidiary.

The house stood from the mid 18th century until it was demolished in 1836.

Rutland Gate
Rutland Gate, a double-square of grand houses around two tree-planted narrow communal greens was engineered and erected on its site, save for №s 48C to 65 which come from the land to the west. Many of its buildings are listed.

BGC Canada

BGC Canada (Formerly known as Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada) is a national, nonprofit organization that supports local BGC Clubs with programs for physical activity, healthy living, learning, job training, leadership, and creative expression. With locations in small towns and large cities, as well as rural and Indigenous communities, BGC Clubs provide services to young people during critical out-of-school hours.

History
In 1900, a group of concerned local citizens in Saint John, New Brunswick set up a "public playground movement" to provide a safe place for children to play, in particular boys from disadvantaged circumstances who had no place to go after school. Originally established as the "Every Day Club," it was later named The East End Boys Club of Saint John, the first "Boys Club" in Canada.

In 1929, the Boys’ Club Federation of Canada was officially established by Vernon McAdam, the first National Executive Director. In 1947, the organization was renamed Boys’ Clubs of Canada, and a year later was recognized by Parliament of Canada as a national, nonprofit organization. In 1974, to reflect the growing number of young girls participating in Club programs, the organization changed its name to "Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada."

During the COVID-19 pandemic, BGC Canada received a $500,000 grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada's Immunization Partnership Fund to combat vaccine hesitancy and promote COVID-19 vaccine uptake in families and youth accessing BGC programs.

Size and reach
As of 2019, BGC Canada serves 200,000 children and youth at 700 service locations across the country. The Clubs employ 6,720 staff members and have 18,200 volunteers. In 2018, BGC Canada offered 26 national programs, facilitated $182,270 in scholarships, and allocated $6.2 million in grants to Clubs. Since 1900, Boys and Girls Clubs have helped over 3 million young Canadians.

The voluntary Board of Directors provides national leadership, making policy directions and decisions and assigning responsibilities for implementation and management to the President & CEO.

Piney Orchard, Maryland

Piney Orchard is an unincorporated community within the Washington DC suburb of Odenton, Maryland, United States. Piney Orchard began as a Planned Unit Development, and was a project of the Constellation Real Estate Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Constellation Energy Group, which itself, is now owned by Exelon.

Construction of the community began in 1991, although groundbreaking for what was to become the Nature Preserve started in 1987, when Constellation Real Estate Group began the effort to restore wetlands in an area which had been mined for sand and gravel in the 1940s and 1950s. Several mitigation projects, the term used for this restoration, followed in five phases to replace wetlands filled in by the development of the community, and included the building and enhancement of five large ponds and the planting of shrubs, trees, and grasses native to the area. The Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees such efforts, monitored the progress of the mitigation sites until 1995, when it was determined the efforts had been successful. In 1996, the Piney Orchard Nature Preserve was officially opened.

More than 3500 housing units have been built in Piney Orchard and approximately 8500 residents live there. Constellation turned over the day-to-day supervision of Piney Orchard to the homeowners of the community in 2005. The Piney Orchard Community Association, or "POCA" as it is known, arranges several community-wide social activities and collects annual fees from all homeowners to maintain the aesthetic qualities of the community.

Piney Orchard Ice Arena, located at the corner of Piney Orchard Parkway and Riverscape Drive, had been the practice site for the Washington Capitals hockey team until 2006, when they moved to their newly built practice facility, Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Virginia.

Abe Lenstra

Abe Minderts Lenstra (27 November 19202 September 1985) was a Dutch footballer and national football icon in the 1950s who played as a forward. He is regarded as one of the greatest players ever to hail from the Netherlands. He was also a Frisian legend, most notably with the club where he made his name as a football player, Heerenveen.

Career
Lenstra played for a host of clubs such as SC Enschede, Enschedese Boys, PH: DOS '19, WSV, DOS Kampen and vv LTC. However, it was with VV Heerenveen (the previous name of current day sc Heerenveen) where he first was selected for the Dutch national team. When in 1954 professional football was introduced in the Netherlands the already 34-year-old Abe Lenstra moved from VV Heerenveen to the bigger SC Enschede. It was in Enschede where he missed his best chance of ever winning the Dutch title: in 1958 SC Enschede lost the first and last Eredivisie final ever after 180 minutes from DOS Utrecht. In 1960, he made the move to the rivals Enschedese Boys, where he ended his professional career in 1963.

With the national team, for which he played a total of 47 caps scoring 33 goals, he struck a partnership with other internationals such as Faas Wilkes and Kees Rijvers. He was known to stand by his principles and objected to play for the national squad if he was not selected for the position he favoured.

It was Lenstra who put the name of sc Heerenveen on the footballing map, where the club was also fondly referred to as 'Abeveen'. In 1977, long after he retired from football, he was diagnosed with having a brain haemorrhage and spent the remainder of his life using a wheelchair. He died in 1985, just a few days before the first ever international match in the stadium that a year later would bear his name.

Excellent Cadavers

Excellent Cadavers is a 1995 non-fiction book by American author Alexander Stille about the Sicilian Mafia, concentrating on magistrate Giovanni Falcone's fight against the Mafia and his 1992 assassination.

Book title
The name of the book comes from the phrase "excellent cadavers" (cadaveri eccellenti) or "illustrious corpses", used in Italy when referring to high-profile victims of the Mafia such as politicians, judges and police chiefs (as opposed to less public victims claimed by day-to-day Mafia business). A fictional movie bearing the title Cadaveri Eccellenti (Illustrious Corpses in English) was made in Italy in 1975, directed by Francesco Rosi and starring Lino Ventura.

Adaptations and related works
Stille's 1995 book Excellent Cadavers was made into a television movie in 1999, starring Chazz Palminteri as Giovanni Falcone and F. Murray Abraham as informant Tommaso Buscetta.

In 2005, a documentary of the same name was released in the US, directed by Marco Turco. Produced in Italy, where the work is known as In un altro paese, the documentary is based on, and to some extent updates, Stille's book. Stille, one of the script writers, serves as narrator and tour guide on the scenes of crimes and explains their causes and consequences. Letizia Battaglia, a photojournalist and anti-Mafia activist, plays the role of survivor and passionate eyewitness.

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.

Gappa: The Triphibian Monster

Gappa (大巨獣ガッパ) is a 1967 Japanese kaiju film directed by Haruyasu Noguchi. The film is about a group of Japanese reporters who discover an infant monster called a Gappa on Obelisk Island. The reporters cage the creature and take it to Japan where it becomes a media attraction. This angers the natives of the island and Gappa's full-grown parents, who head toward Japan to find their child. Its plot virtually duplicates that of the 1961 British film Gorgo.

The film was released theatrically as Daikyojū Gappa in Japan in 1967, but only received a direct-to-television release in the United States as Monster from a Prehistoric Planet. It received positive reviews from Variety and Phil Hardy.

Certain shots of the Gappas attacking Japan were used in the 1991 Red Dwarf episode "Meltdown".

Plot
An expedition from Tokyo heads to Obelisk Island, which the greedy Mr. Funazu, owner of Playmate Magazine, wants to turn into a resort. The island natives welcome the expedition, but two members, Hiroshi and Itoko, venture into a forbidden area despite the pleas of a native boy named Saki. They enter a cavern blocked by a fallen statue and find a giant egg, out of which hatches a baby "bird-lizard" monster, referred to as "Gappa". The natives plead with the skeptical scientists not to take the baby away, lest it anger the baby's parents, but they do so anyway. Inside the caverns, Gappa's two parents rise from the subterranean waters beneath the volcano, destroying everything in their path. Saki, the only survivor, is rescued by an American Navy fleet and brought to Japan.

Meanwhile, Gappa makes global headlines and is experimented on by scientists. To the shock of the expedition members, two giant flying creatures appear over Sagami Bay. The Gappa parents ravage cities looking for their offspring and prove impervious to military weapons. Hiroshi, Itoko, Saki, and expedition scientist Professor Tonooka try to persuade the headstrong Mr. Funazu to let the baby go and return it to its parents. Mr. Funazu finally lets Gappa go back to its parents. Then the three go back to Obelisk Island.

Writing
The year 1967 was the height of Japan's “Kaiju Boom” and many Japanese film studios were doing their own monster film. Nikkatsu jumped onboard and decided to do their own film. Several ideas were hatched but not bore fruit. there was Giant Monster Gigant (大怪獣ギガント, Daikaiju Giganto): A giant alien lifeform resembling a spider arrives on Earth and causes destruction. Giant Squid Monster Arkitius (大烏賊アーキティウス, Oiki Akitiusu): During World War II, a Nazi U-boat is attacked by a giant squid called Arkitius. Giant Monster Momonra (怪獣モモンラ, Daikaiju Momonra): Japan is attacked by a giant mutated flying squirrel. And Reigon: Devil of the Seabed (海底の魔王レイゴン, Kaitei no mao Reigon): A giant manta ray dubbed “Reigon” appears one day and wreaks havoc across the world and then fights a giant iguana. This was the fourth and final unmade film in a series of concepts Nikkatsu Company had before making Gappa. This concept got the furthest into development out of the four scrapped projects, receiving a plot synopsis, speculative screenplay, and kaiju ideas. Planning was done by Hideo Kodama; the draft was written by Shunichi Yukimuro and Ryuzo Nakanishi.

Filming
In an interview with the film's screenplay writers, Gen Yamazaki and Ryuzo Nakanishi, they explained that the film got government financing of about 500,000,000 yen (about $1.4 million), which was ten times the average of a Nikkatsu film. Eisei Koi, who was the producer of the film was classmates with politicians in the Diet and used his political power to get the money.

Principal photography on Gappa lasted for about 40 days, twice the time that director Haruyasu Noguchi usually took to shoot a film.

Special effects
The monster suits and effects in the film were created by Akira Watanabe, a former employee of Toho.

Release
Gappa was released in Japan on April 22, 1967, as Daikyojū Gappa. The film was never released theatrically in the United States. American International Television first offered the film as Monster from a Prehistoric Planet in the "15 New Science Fiction" television package beginning in 1967; the film may have premiered on television in 1968.

The English language dialogue track in the film's English version is credited to William Ross.

Stuart Galbraith IV, author of Japanese Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films described the American version of the film as poorly dubbed and that home video versions prior to 1994 are poor dupes taken from a 16mm television print. The film has been released on DVD by various companies including Alpha Video, Mill Creek Entertainment, Tokyo Shock and Image Entertainment. Gappa the Triphibian Monster was released on Blu-ray in the United States on February 25, 2020, with both Japanese and English language audio as well as English subtitles.

Reception
In contemporary reviews, Variety stated that the creature Gappa makes an "auspicious debut and reveals itself as "best monster" so far". Variety concluded that "these are the only Japanese monsters one might like to see again" and that "Most effects are well done, a few superb" noting the destruction of Atami as one of the highlights.

In retrospective reviews, Phil Hardy discussed the film in his book Science Fiction (1984). The review complimented the film, noting that "the effects are excellent and the script is worthy of a witty children's comedy." Stuart Galbraith IV described the film as an unauthorized remake of the 1961 British film Gorgo. Galbraith described the human characters as "colorless reporters and scientists" and that "none of the actors is especially appealing." Galbraith commented on Akira Watanabe's effects, opining that they were "okay but lack the perfectionist drive of Eiji Tsuburaya's work."

Phyllis Thaxter

Phyllis St. Felix Thaxter (November 20, 1919 – August 14, 2012) was an American actress. She is best known for portraying Ellen Lawson in Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944) and Martha Kent in Superman (1978). She also appeared in Bewitched (1945), Blood on the Moon (1948), and The World of Henry Orient (1964).

Early life
Thaxter was born in Portland, Maine, one of three children of Phyllis ( Schuyler) Thaxter, a former actress, and Sidney St. Felix Thaxter, who later served as a Justice of the Maine Supreme Court.

Phyllis Thaxter's siblings were Sidney Thaxter and Hildegarde Schuyler Thaxter Niss Gignoux.

Her grandfather was Major Sidney W. Thaxter, who was awarded the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War.

Career
Before appearing in films, Thaxter was on the stage. When Dorothy McGuire went to Hollywood, Thaxter replaced her in the Broadway play Claudia. In 1944, she signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Her movie debut was opposite Van Johnson in the 1944 wartime film Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. In the 1945 film-noir Bewitched, Thaxter played Joan Alris Ellis, a woman with split personality. In 1948, she played a cattle owner's daughter in Blood on the Moon.

Thaxter appeared in television series such as Rawhide, portraying Pauline Cushman in the episode "The Blue Spy" (1961), The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, portraying a paralyzed wife being terrorized by her husband in the episode "The Long Silence" (1963), Wagon Train ("The Christine Elliott Story" and "The Vivian Carter Story"), The Twilight Zone ("Young Man's Fancy"), and Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

She returned to Broadway, appearing in Take Her, She's Mine at the Biltmore in 1961.

In 1978, Thaxter was cast with Glenn Ford as Jonathan and Martha Kent in the blockbuster film Superman.

Personal life
Patricia Bosworth, in her biography of Montgomery Clift, tells of Thaxter's close relationship with Clift in the early 1940s, writing that they "seemed so close that a great many people assumed they would eventually marry".

While at MGM, Thaxter married James T. Aubrey Jr., who later became president of CBS-TV and MGM. They divorced in 1962. They had two children: Susan Schuyler "Skye" Aubrey, an actress, and James Watson Aubrey. In 1962, Thaxter married Gilbert Lea. They were married for 46 years until his death on May 4, 2008.

A Republican, she supported the campaign of Dwight Eisenhower in the 1952 presidential election.

Death
Thaxter died on August 14, 2012, aged 92, in Longwood, Florida after an eight-year battle with Alzheimer's disease.

She was cremated, and her ashes were scattered in Maine.

Order of the Medjidie

Order of the Medjidie (نشانِ مجیدیه, August 29, 1852 – 1922 ) is a military and civilian order of the Ottoman Empire. The Order was instituted in 1851 by Sultan Abdulmejid I.

History
Instituted in 1851, the Order was awarded in five classes, with the First Class being the highest. The Order was issued in considerable numbers by Sultan Abdülmecid as a reward for distinguished service to members of the British Army and the Royal Navy and the French Army who came to the aid of the Ottoman Empire during the Crimean War against Russia and to British recipients for later service in Egypt and/or the Sudan. In Britain it was worn after any British gallantry and campaign medals awarded, but, as an Order, before foreign medals like the Turkish Crimean War medal. The Order was usually conferred on officers but a few enlisted soldiers and sailors also received it in a lower class. During World War I it was also awarded to a number of German, Austrian and Bulgarian officers.

The Order was often conferred on non-Turkish nationals.

Design of the Order
On the obverse of the star is Sultan Abdülmecid's royal cipher surrounded by an inscription on a gold-bordered circle of red enamel; all on a star of seven triple quills with small crescents and five-pointed stars between them, suspended from a red enameled crescent and star suspender with green enameled edges.

Rough translation of the front: To the left: (you have) crossed. To the right: (you are proven to be) correct. At the top: (you have provided) protection. At the bottom: Year 1268. In the centre: In the name of the God the forgiver, the merciful.

The order has 5 classes. First, second, third and fourth classes are gold. Fifth (lower) class is silver.

 * First Class Order (Gold) - 50 people (Given by Sultan)

 * Third Class Order (Gold) - 800 people
 * Fourth Class Order (Gold) - 3,000 people
