Talk:Valparaíso

Move of this page
I happened on this and got confused by all of the redirects and such. I'm going to recommend that the following moves be made to eliminate a lot of unnecessary redirects. Comments? Vegaswikian 22:55, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Move Valparaíso --> Valparaíso, Chile  This is the name most often used as a redirect along with Valparaíso, Chile this appears to be the logical move since most articles reference it with Chile in the link.  And since that is the proper name and the common usage it seems to make sense.
 * 2) Move Valparaiso (disambiguation) to Valparaiso
 * 3) Cleanup all of the redirects

 * Respectfully disagree. The major world city down in Chile should get the un-disambiguated location, with the others linked to the dab-page. Compare with San Francisco and San Francisco (disambiguation), London and London (disambiguation), etc. –Hajor 23:23, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Except San Francisco redirects to San Francisco, California and the same is true for many major cities in the Americas. If you look at the links to this page you will see that most of them are from the redirects with Chile in the title.  So that seems to be the more common name that people use for this city.  People know where places like London are, but it is not likely they know where Valparaíso is.  My guess would have been Italy.  Vegaswikian 00:03, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * It's mostly true for cities in the USA and Canada, not for major cities in the rest of the Americas (Medellín, Tegucigalpa, Acapulco, Salvador, Santa Cruz de la Sierra). Can I suggest a listing on WP:RM, get a broader set of opinions? –Hajor 03:23, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I voted against that since I thought that discussing it here could explain why it might not be a wise move. Placing the request on that page kind of rules out a simple question and answer session.  If the page stays, then someone will need to cleanup those redirects over time.  I wonder if the right direction is to move the article to Valparaíso, Chile and leave a redirect at Valparaíso, assuming that anything needs to be done.  Vegaswikian 05:11, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I still think Valparaíso is the correct location, per the convention used for other cities in the same part of the world (indeed, just about all the world except those few countries where "City Name comma Subnational Entity") is used as a form of pre-emptive disambiguation). Also, as a major city (3rd biggest in the country; global fame going back a couple of centuries -- port of call for just about every ship rounding the Horn in pre-Canal days), this article is the primary topic for this title, and so deserves this location, as explained on Disambiguation. If we can agree on that, I'd be more than happy to fix the redirects. –Hajor 14:36, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I kind of expected that would be the case. I guess the redirects will need to be fixed.  Thanks all for the discussion. Vegaswikian 18:51, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Sure. Interesting dialogue (and, as such, could probably have benefited from other voices -- no one else has this on their watchlist?), and a good outcome. I'll have a look at those redirs now. –Hajor 22:32, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I suspect that it is not on a lot of watch lists. Many people add a pointer for all of the ships that stopped here when it was a major resupply point.  However they probably have no real interest and don't follow the page.  Interest seems a tad sparse in a lot of articles these days.  I'm trying to establish an airlines project and I'm still the only one really using it even though others seem to be interested in airlines.  Maybe this wiki has gotten too large?  Vegaswikian 22:48, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Insane number of U.S. warships, and not much else. Maybe you're right. Cheers, –Hajor 06:16, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Novia del Pacífico
The accurate translation of "novia del pacífico" to english would be "ocean's bride" not "sweethart". Besides that, some mention should be made to the recent butane pipe accident that occurred this year and damaged the city's most traditional area.200.89.48.49 20:53, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Logo on the bottom of page
I think something should be done about the race logo at the bottom of the page, it is mis-formatted and covers the "see also" section of the page.

There is something insanely wrong with the climate data
I think that the annual climate variation data are meant to be in degrees farenheit, but have incorrectly been listed as degrees celsius. Otherwise, temperatures in Valparaíso would exceed 111 degrees celsius in the summer - a temperature that would surely kill the entire population and boil any standing water. This can't be right... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.75.213 (talk) 17:26, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

 * The first figure in the climate chart is the rainfall in millimetres, and the second two are the maximum and minimum temperatures, respectively. Also, Valparaíso is in the southern hemisphere, so July is the middle of winter there. Graham 87 02:57, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Importance of railways to the city
Hello, I quickly read the article from here and there, and I noticed that there is no mention, or at least I did not notice, about railways. I had understood that railways have been of great importance to the city, its development, growth and econonomy I presume during the 19th and 20th century. There was or still is a railway extending from Buenos Aires, Argentina to this very city - Valparaiso was or is the other end of the railway on the Pacific Ocean. This is the Transandine railway. I suppose, that it became economically profitable, less expensive, to use railways than transportion via the Magellan Strait by ships at some point. Maybe trains were really the preferred mode of transportation, because ships were small in the late 1800s and in the beginning of 1900s, also the distance was shorter by train. I wish someone could incorporate the railway aspect to the history and economy sections of the article, because Valparaiso is not just a major port, but a major terminal or start point of a major railway (or at least was in history). --91.157.12.243 (talk) 06:39, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

 * If someone wants to research the history, I just got a thought that the ships used at that time were probably sailing ships, because steamboats were a recent invention that did not catch on everywhere in a sudden - especially ocean-going steamboats took time to develop. It might have been so, that sailing ships were used to navigate the Magellan strait well into the 1900s and if this was the case, then railways were competitive and preferred. --91.157.12.243 (talk) 07:04, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Air quality?
How is the air quality? How polluting is the transit? In the winter, do people directly burn coal or wood in stoves? How are the homes heated? How is power generated? Are there any green energy sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocdcntx (talk • contribs) 22:41, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Barrio Puerto
A new article was created, Barrio Puerto, and I am trying to find some information in English about it. Is anyone familiar with this area? Is this the same as Seaport City? Or, a part of it?

Thanks!–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:24, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Hyundai Lavita

The Hyundai Lavita is a multi purpose vehicle (MPV) produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai, from 2001 to 2010. It was also marketed as the Hyundai Matrix in Europe and Southeast Asia, and as the Hyundai Elantra LaVita in Australia. It was mechanically related to the Hyundai Elantra (XD) and was designed by the Italian company Pininfarina.

Sales commenced in August 2001, and continued until the end of 2010, when it was replaced by the ix20.

Overview
The Lavita is a five-door, five-seater hatchback and is available in 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8-litre petrol engines. The 1.8 has a top speed of 114 mph and a 0 to 60 mph time of 11.3 seconds. In Europe, there were versions also available with turbo diesel engines, these were available from September 2001.

In Malaysia, the Lavita was locally assembled as the Inokom Matrix, which is available in both 1.6L and 1.8L petrol engine options. Hyundai facelifted the model in 2005. For 2008, Hyundai unveiled a second facelifted version at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008.

It underwent major changes to the front fascia, similar in style to the first generation i30. New wheels were also part of the slew of changes. The C pillar window kink was eliminated. Minor changes were also made to the interior.

July 18, 2005
I finally created the Feline Infectious Peritonitis page. I've been a big fan of Wikipedia for a while now, although I do feel that it tends to slant towards more liberal points of view. Anyway, I've been pretty depressed since Woody died. He was a great cat, very friendly and full of life. I will miss his affection, and I'm angry that he life was shortened so dramatically. It seemed like a good opportunity to finally contribute to Wikipedia, since there did not already exist a page for FIP.
 * Thanks back to you for starting the article, it's a subject I'm interested in yet I probably wouldn't have gotten around to starting an FIP article myself. Sorry about Woody, FIP is a pretty devastating disease. --Bk0 23:16, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Sin Bin Online Hockey League
The article Sin Bin Online Hockey League has been or soon will be deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a subject but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles.

Edward William Montgomery

Edward William Montgomery (1865 – September 27, 1948 ) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1927 to 1932, and served as a cabinet minister in the government of John Bracken.

He was born in Canada East and came to Stonewall, Manitoba with his parents in 1877. Montgomery was educated at Manitoba College, taught school in Brandon and went on to study medicine at Manitoba Medical College. He entered the practice of medicine in Winnipeg in 1892. Montgomery was president of the Canadian Medical Association in 1922. He also served as professor of medicine at the Manitoba Medical College.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature as a Progressive in the 1927 provincial election, for the constituency of Winnipeg. At the time, Winnipeg elected ten members by a single transferable ballot. Montgomery finished seventh on the first count, and was declared elected for the final position on the twenty-first count.

On September 9, 1927, he was appointed Minister of Health in Bracken's government. His position was restyled as "Minister of Health and Public Welfare" on July 12, 1928.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/HA! HA! guy

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus. Defaulting to keep. Sasquatch′↔T↔C 03:44, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

HA! HA! guy
This page was created after its first incarnation Ha ha guy was nominated for deletion (see Votes for deletion/Ha ha guy). As most of the delete votes in that initial discussion are proposing that the article is un-noteworthy I feel it right that this clone of the original article is also proposed for deletion. My vote is delete. Francs2000 | Talk 22:58, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this one has pictures, but is still about an unencyclopedic topic; just some stuff that happened on a forum. Really, it shouldn't be necessary to do a second VFD, because this was a duplicate article, but here we are. CDC   (talk)  23:37, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is not a "clone" of the article. It gives a history and everything. I didn't know it began on the SomethingAwful forums. I wouldn't know that if it was deleted. Also see here. Also, they were created by two different people. From Deletion policy: "If an article is repeatedly re-created by unassociated editors after being deleted, this should be seen as evidence for the need for an article." --pile0nadestalk 23:50, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I now feel confident both articles should be handled the same way -- if this phenomena of cliche pictures is encyclopedic, then write about that in an appropriately titled article, but this seems to just be a non-notable intricacy of the barely notable forum site Fark.com which is something that should not expand into a whole article on its own, because people just would not look for something like this in an ecyclopedia. (See also, my notes on Votes for deletion/Ha ha guy). --Mysidia 23:51, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Kill this when you kill All your base are belong to us. Not every meme deserve to live, but this one seems to have grown enough that it might qualify. - Chairboy 23:53, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep An Internet phenomenon or meme is encyclopedic. Quoting Wikipedia policy on importance: "An article is important and deserving of inclusion in Wikipedia if any one of the following holds true: 1. there is clear proof that a reasonable number of people (eg. more than 500 people worldwide) are or were concurrently interested in the subject." There are clearly more than 500 people interested! ArcTheLad 23:55, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. We're discussing this because a related VfD is in play (Votes for deletion/Ha ha guy). IMO the related VfD should result in a redirect, and this should be kept, because this article is already encyclopedic and interesting, and because of the likelihood this will be an even more encyclopedic article. After all, we've VfDd and kept an article about a woman who's only encyclopedic accomplishment in life was to climb mt everest in a skirt and wrote a book about it.  Quaker guy has more mileage, ISTM.  Flawiki 00:05, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Frances is a douchebag.  Then again, so are Drew Curtis and Jeff, the two head honchos behind fark.com, so it's not like fark users aren't used to that sort of thing.  Anyway, as I've said before -- when we use fark, we try to forget about its many, many flaws (such as the unfair deletions, paying to be linked on the main page, the superiority complexes of TotalFarkers, etc.).  Some of what helps us forget are the funny cliches and articles that appear.  The "Ha Ha" guy is one of those cliches.  It's almost like someone has to die of cancer and the article linked to the main page for the admins and moderators -- as well as Fark posters both lite and TF -- to not be douchebags.  When you attack the items used from the site, you attack its users as well.   Most think its funny, and most think it is relevant.  If you are going to delete it, and I don't think you should, then at least link the stupid thing to fark.com which you SHOULD have done in the first place.  Which makes me think, if you are going to link it to fark.com, and have it listed as being relevant to the site, wouldn't it need its own entry to explain WHY it's there in the first place? Granted, Admiral Ackbar is listed due to Star Wars.  But he has additional significance as it relates to Fark.com.  It's really a fine line here, but why make such a big deal out of it?  When it comes down to it, it's just an image, and you guys at Wikipedia aren't exactly the most superior life forms on the Internet, either.  Nobody is really going to notice this after it calms down, and now that it's one day later after one of the Fark admins went off his ritalin and all but demanded that Fark posters who liked the image stopped using it, things ARE beginning to calm down a bit.  At least, that's the way it seems to me.  --68.158.111.157 01:09, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and protect against recreation fork to avoid VfD. -Splash 01:16, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't mean it'll win the Miss America contest, and prettying up the Ha ha guy article doesn't make it any more encyclopedic. --Calton | Talk 01:24, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * HA! HA! I'm using the delete button! Note to article creator: this meme is popular on imageboards too. humblefool®Have you voted in the CSD poll yet? 02:34, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. This article indeed seems to be much more informative than the original "Ha Ha Guy" article. I have done a lot of reading on what does and does not constitute a valid Wikipedia article. Everything I have read so far suggests that the article is completely legit. These internet memes are fascinating and I see no reason whatever to remove them. There are no space constraints - as previously mentioned, this is not a paper encyclopedia! Furthermore, the arrogance of those that seek to remove the page is disgusting to me. If the article is not "noteworthy" to you, simply don't read about it. I find lots of stuff in the Chinese language Wikipedia to be "not noteworthy", yet I am not parading around trying to remove the content. I think Wikipedia was built for articles like this in mind. --Digizen 02:47, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Contrary to the dismissive sniffing above, this is a useful article. I myself searched here for HA! HA! Guy several times during the course of his meteoric rise to fame/infamy -- to no avail.  Only today did I finally find something with useful information -- history and origin, in my case.  I know there are many people curious about just where this came from, and finding answers is what an encyclopedia is for -- right? --Atario 05:35, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Don't mind the Fark people.. it is a real thing. Rhobite 05:42, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 08:34, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Ha ha. Delete. Radiant_ >|< 10:46, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are some Internet memes that are noteworthy enough to keep, but this doesn't appear to be one of them. OpenToppedBus - My Talk 11:12, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The notoriety bar is rather low on Category:Internet memes as it stands, and this far exceeds a lot of them.  Also, there's certainly some interesting implications with this being the first memorable template-based user-generated graphic thingo, and the whole linguistic implications of thousands of people using an image as a conversational medium. -The Tom 14:41, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all nn internet memes. --Scimitar parley 14:52, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment Determining worthiness by Google rank is rediculous. "HA! HA! Guy" goes by dozens of different names. Noclip 19:30, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a big enough meme. Darobsta 11:31, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not "encyclopedic?" There's *tons* of stuff on Wikipedia that doesn't fit in traditional encyclopedias.  I thought that was a major selling point of this site.  If I you don't want to brush up against memes and barely-useful entries, go buy the Britanica.  I would at least hold off until we see if this goes much further - if it hits "All Your Base" level, it's going to have an entry whether people like it or not, and this one's a pretty good entry. : BankyEdwards 02:58, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, take a swing by the Internet memes page and check out how many have their own Wiki entries. Mostly stuff I've never heard of, and don't find that funny.  Should they all be deleted?  C'mon, lighten up.  : BankyEdwards 02:58, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Some internet memes are noteworthy, this isn't. GarrettTalk 06:04, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. But clean up the links.  There shouldn't be duplicates (ie. Ha ha guy)  I gained something from this article.  I was curious as to the origins of the image in forums I visit and this provided me the information I was looking for.  Wynler 16:52, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's now part of the Internet phenomenons, for better or worse. Rborek 23:11, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep.The whole point isn't just HA!HA! guy, but the very real phenomenon around it as it migrated from SA to TF and - I'm sure - elsewhere. This page should stand on those merits and not on those of an earlier version, which might or might not have reflected this.  Besides, if every "non-encyclopedic" concept were wiped from Wikipedia, it would be as marketable as yesterday's newspaper.  Ceremony1968 01:35, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

I even put up an article request for it, not knowing that the article already existed. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been interested in this topic. -- DocSigma 14:53, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. After seeing this image on many fark threads, I was curious as to where it came from. I looked up the article for fark, followed the link to this article, and learned all I wanted to know. My vote is to keep the HA! HA! guy article, and make Ha ha guy a redirect to it. -- ssj4android
 * HA! HA! I vote to Keep --unsigned vote by, user's 352nd edit.
 * Strong Keep! Well written article on something seen every day by thousands of people --unsigned vote by, user's 1st edit.
 * Keep. I learned about the history of this phenomenon from the article. Isn't that what wikipedia is for? --unsigned vote by, user's 1st edit.
 * Move to Ha! Ha! I'm using the Internet!!1, which is most defninitely an internet phenomenon if the picture itself isn't. Noclip 19:16, 2 August 2005 (UTC) (First edit on Wikipedia, check my account on Wikinews for tons of edits)
 * Keep. Wiki has dozens of this kind of article that have all been kept.  This is no different, and I think part of Wiki's job is to document internet culture--because where else would I look up the GNAA?--TexasDex 03:14, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

KGGI

KGGI (99.1 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Riverside, California, and broadcasting to the Inland Empire. The station airs a rhythmic contemporary radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. Its studios are on Iowa Avenue in Riverside.

KGGI has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 2,550 watts. Its transmitter tower is on Ongo Camp Road in San Bernardino National Forest near Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs. KGGI broadcasts an HD Radio signal. In addition to its core service area of the Inland Empire, the station’s high transmitter site allows it to be heard clearly in the Victor Valley, where it regularly rates #1 in their radio ratings. The HD2 digital subchannel formerly played classic hip hop music, but switched to Bilingual adult contemporary. The station also streams on the iHeartRadio app.

Christian Radio and Contemporary Hits
The station signed on the air on January 23, 1965. It aired a Christian radio format as KBBL ("K-Bible"). The original chief engineer, who signed KGGI on the air, was Lee McGowan. Upon its sale from C. Edwin Goad to Lyncoln and Sylvia Dellar in 1979, KBBL became KGGI. The original airstaff for KGGI included program director Brian White, along with Bob West, Lisa Giles, Dan Harrison, Cliff Roberts, and Benny Martinez, while Jerry Clifton was the consultant. When the acquisition closed, KGGI flipped to Top 40 (CHR).

In 1998, the station was sold to Chase Radio Properties. It was sold again in 2000 to AMFM, Inc. AMFM was an affiliate of Clear Channel Outdoor, which in turn spun off its communications and radio divisions into Clear Channel Communications. In 2014, Clear Channel Communications was renamed iHeartMedia. Over time, the station moved from Mainstream Top 40 to a Rhythmic Contemporary format.

Henry Mucci

Henry Andrews Mucci (March 4, 1909 – April 20, 1997) was a colonel in the United States Army Rangers. In January 1945, during World War II, he led a force of 121 Army Rangers on a mission which rescued 513 survivors of the Bataan Death March from Cabanatuan Prison Camp, despite being heavily outnumbered. It is widely considered the most successful rescue mission in the history of the United States military.

Youth
Mucci was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, to parents who had emigrated from Sicily, Italy.

Today, a section of the United States Embassy in Rome, Italy, is named in Mucci's honor.

Henry came from a family of 10 siblings. Two of his brothers also served in the Army and Navy during the Second World War, while his sisters worked at the Veterans of Foreign Wars in America and made bazookas in factories.

He enrolled at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, graduating 246th of 275 in his class in May 1936. While at West Point he participated in lacrosse and, due to his early years growing up with horses, was on the equestrian team.

Military service
Before entering the Military Academy, Mucci served as an enlisted soldier in the Army from December 1929 to June 1932.

World War II
Mucci survived the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

In February 1943, the US Sixth Army put Mucci in charge of the 98th Field Artillery Battalion, previously a mule-drawn pack artillery unit. Mucci announced that the Battalion was being converted from Field Artillery to Rangers, downsized the battalion from 1,000 men to 500, and held a training camp in New Guinea where he utilized commando type training techniques for over a year. Thus, Mucci created the new 6th Ranger Battalion.

In March 1943, Mucci was observing an amphibious landing training exercise from the shore. One of the landing craft broke down about a quarter mile offshore and the embarked soldiers were ordered to swim ashore. One of the privates could not swim without the aid of his life preserver. He was making such slow progress that both his clothing and life preserver became waterlogged and he began to sink. Without pausing to strip off his own clothing, Mucci swam out and rescued the man. He was subsequently awarded the Soldier's Medal.

During the liberation of the Philippines, General Walter Kreuger and one of his staff officers, Col. Horton White (6th Army Group's G-2), chose Mucci to head the liberation of the Cabanatuan Prison Camp due to both the difficulty and the peculiar needs of such a mission.

In January 1945, Mucci led 120 Army Rangers in liberating the Cabanatuan Prison Camp with the loss of only two men killed in action. The raid was supported by some 250 Filipino guerrillas, many of whom were unarmed, who guided the Rangers through Japanese held territory and held off Japanese reinforcements while the American Rangers freed the POWs.

For Mucci's actions in the raid he was personally awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by General of the Army Douglas MacArthur.

Postwar life
Mucci returned home as a national hero in his home town of Bridgeport, Connecticut. He remained on active duty until April 30, 1947.

On September 2, 1941, he had married Marion Fountain (January 26, 1920 – July 8, 1994) at Saint Augustine by the Sea Catholic Church in Waikiki. They had three children.

In 1946, Mucci took leave to run for Congress as a Democrat in Connecticut's 4th district to replace the retiring Clare Boothe Luce, but he was defeated by future governor and ambassador John Davis Lodge. After resigning his commission, he became the President of Bridgeport Lincoln Mercury as well as becoming an oil representative in India.

In November 1974, the portion of Route 25 between Bridgeport and Newtown was named the Col. Henry A. Mucci Highway.

Colonel Mucci died at age 88 in Melbourne, Florida, on April 20, 1997, as the result of a stroke, being a complication of a fractured hip sustained at age 86, while swimming in rough surf near his home. He was interred next to his wife Marian at the West Point Cemetery on May 5, 1997.

The raid on Cabanatuan was depicted in the 2005 film The Great Raid, which featured actor Benjamin Bratt depicting Mucci, Bratt bearing a remarkable facial resemblance to Mucci.

Distinguished Service Cross
Citation: "The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Lieutenant Colonel (Infantry) Henry Andrews Mucci (ASN: 0-20374), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with the 6th Ranger Infantry Battalion, in action against enemy forces on 30 January 1945, during the rescue of Allied Prisoners of War from the Cabanatuan Prison Camp in the Philippine Islands. Colonel Mucci was charged with the rescue of several hundred Americans held prisoner by the enemy. It was believed that the enemy would kill or remove the prisoners when our attack was launched in that area. Colonel Mucci promptly assembled a rescue team composed of Ranger Infantry, Scouts, guerrillas and Filipino volunteers. On 28 January, he secured guides, and moved to rendezvous with the Scouts, who reported that three thousand enemy, with some tanks, were in the stockade area. He ordered the attack at dark on 30 January. The attack was launched, and within five minutes the Rangers and Scouts entered the camp, and killed the guards. Ten minutes later all prisoners were out of the camp, and were being taken to carts previously assembled. En route, our troops encountered a force about eight hundred enemy, attacked and killed three hundred. Eight enemy tanks attacking the convoy were held off by a quickly established roadblock. The convoy proceeded through the enemy-held area and completed the evacuation of the released prisoners. Colonel Mucci's gallant leadership, superior professional ability and outstanding personal courage contributed immeasurably to the brilliantly executed rescue of American imprisoned by the enemy. Lieutenant Colonel Mucci's intrepid leadership, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army."

Commendations
Henry Mucci received the following military awards:

Legacy port

In computing, a legacy port is a computer port or connector that is considered by some to be fully or partially superseded. The replacement ports usually provide most of the functionality of the legacy ports with higher speeds, more compact design, or plug and play and hot swap capabilities for greater ease of use. Modern PC motherboards use separate Super I/O controllers to provide legacy ports, since current chipsets do not offer direct support for them. A category of computers called legacy-free PCs omits these ports, typically retaining only USB for external expansion.

USB adapters are often used to provide legacy ports if they are required on systems not equipped with them.

You Come Before You

You Come Before You is the third full-length album by American metalcore band Poison the Well. It was released on July 1, 2003. It is the band's only release on a major label (Atlantic Records). More than 115,500 copies of the album have been sold in the U.S. to date. The Japanese version was released through Warner Music Japan on October 29, 2003 and featured an exclusive bonus track, "Sticks and Stones Never Made Sense (Demo)" which had been recorded in early October 2000.

Metal Hammer and Loudwire have both named the album as one of the greatest metal albums of the 21st century. In 2019, Rock Sound ranked the album at number 122 on its list of the "250 Greatest Albums of Our Lifetime", who said that it was "arguably [Poison The Well's] most innovative [release], boasting a fiery melange of hardcore, punk and post-rock".

On November 17, 2017, Poison the Well spoke out against a vinyl re-press of You Come Before You done through German record label Backbite Records, stating that the band had not been consulted for the release. The band criticized the subpar audio quality, the poor layout and noted numerous misspelling of words, song titles and the album's title on the artwork. The record label, however, claimed that they had received permission from the album's master rights owner Warner Music Group and had paid "thousands of Euros" for a reproduction license. Backbite Records made no explanation as to the poor quality of the audio nor of the misspellings on the artwork. Poison the Well maintained that Backbite Records' tactics were unethical and that the band should still have been contacted as mere professional courtesy.

Talk:Honda CR-X del Sol

Page Title
The Page title should be Honda Del Sol. Its not a CRX or a Civic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:206:8001:A0:4C64:BBCA:9D49:7C07 (talk) 01:40, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Untitled
The problem here is that everyone is biased depending on what country they are in and what model year they had. The car obviously had differnet names in different places and different years. The same thing happens today. There is no such thing as Acura in Japan because Japanese people are too smart to pay for a brand name. So, let's stop arguing about the "actaul name" and just include all of the names and ACCURATE, DOCUMENTED, proof of these names as stated by honda, not Gran Turismo. (WTF?) since when is a video game the authoritative source? please, whoever said that about gran turismo, dont come back until you have an education. Also, the car was definitely called the Civic del Sol in '93 in America, I had one with factory badges on it. So, maybe there should be separate articles about cars with different names. The Japanese can have their article, the Europeans can have their article, and the North American's can have their own documented article.

I agree with the above said, and I'd like to say something: Del Sol came out to Portugal and main Europe countries as "Civic CRX", as continouing the CRX series, as so the Del Sol is called in portugal as CRX MK3, following to the MK2.

And it's no game that will tell us accurate model names. I agree with it all!

The page for the B16A3 engine only lists it as having been on the del sol from '94 - '95, what engine was in the '96 and '97 Del Sol VTEC? I think it was also the B16A3, but don't have any sourcee to confirm... posted by User:72.130.180.95

There's a great compiled PDF of information on the del Sol at Team del Sol's site: [] - I don't have time to clean the article, but there's plenty of good info there for someone who does.

The 96-98 USDM del Sol VTEC had the B16A2, as used in the USDM 98-99 Civic Si.

Successor: Honda Insight
The Honda Insight isn't a sporty car by any stretch of the imagination - it's a 80hp hybrid that happens to look a little like the CRX. I don't agree with the characterization of it as the successor, but I'm happy to let it stand if it's sourced. —Crazytales (talk)  17:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

about the horsepower
where is there proof that the jdm b16a engine comes with more horsepower then the usdm one, because ive read lots of people saying that its true but i havent found real evidence that it is, i want to see a honda article stating that the jdm engine comes with 10 more horsepower. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.76.46.35 (talk) 00:37, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Teal'c

Rank
Teal'c once held the rank of First Prime, but after his defection, at the end of Stargate SG-1 Season 1 Episode 2: The Enemy Within, General Hammond said to Teal'c, "Welcome aboard Sergeant". -- Ed Telerionus 23:05, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

He said "son", not "sergeant".

Hair
What about his hair growth in later seasons? ANy explanation on his goatee? PrometheusX303 23:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Any explanation of his eyeshadow? Furby100 04:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

His goatee? Nope, still no explanation (At least, not that I know of). However, his top-of-head hair is there because the Jaffa tradition of shaving ones head after marriage was started by the Goa'uld, and Teal'c has decided to rebel even against such small things as that. JBK405 03:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

On the DVD they explain the goatee by saying that Christopher Judge came into season 4 with it and wanted to keep it, then realised several episodes later realised how silly it looked and shaved it off, so it is never really explained in the Stargate universe. askwho 15:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

His baldness is explained as part of warrior custom, not lack of ability. In an episode where Teal'c and O'Neill switch bodies(can't remember which episode, I looked through episode summaries and didn't notice it) Teal'c, in O'Neill's body, states he must shave his head. It would appear that he gives up this tradition after being on Earth long enough. 16:31, 8 January 2009 (EST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.34.255.202 (talk)

Prototypical Jaffa?
''Like Worf did for the Klingon race in the Star Trek series, Teal'c transformed his race from anonymous and irredeemable villains (in the early seasons of the show) into a rich society further developed by the writers of each episode. In the process, both characters have come to symbolize their respective races as their cultural perspectives become key points in story plots throughout the series they are involved in.''

Bad analogy as Star Trek:TNG and later series had the opposite effect on the Klingons, going from an interesting and competent foe in the original series to a one dimensional warrior race. Really, do we even need this section at all? Remove it I say.

I think it's a good anology, considering what the writer was going for, but I'm going to edit it anyway, since the reference to Worf really isn't necessary. JBK405 02:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Indeed
Where did the number 763 come from? JBK405 23:05, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I think we need some kind of source here, I've never heard any official comment on just how often Teal'c said "Indeed", whether it be 763 times or 95. JBK405 15:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

"* In September of 2006, an internet user named hawkeyefile had watched and calculated how many times Teal'c had said "indeed", it was aproximately 164 times."

I think we need a source for this, this is the third number that's been posted here. Who is hawkeyefile, and where did he give his results? JBK405 02:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I did the same thing as this hawkeyefile, but came up with 143 total 'indeed's. I kept track episode by episode, so I can provide that data on request. - unregistered: will2041, 19 April 2007

I'm new at this, so I hope you'll forgive any procedural errors that I make. I have just completed a website called The Indeed Project, which is a listing of each and every time that Teal'c said Indeed during the entire series. Each instance documented by the time into the episode that it is spoken, and the total I have come up with is 154. I've only read about 40 of the 80 or 90 pages of rules, policies, formats and procedures that govern editing Wikipedia, but it appears to me that I cannot edit the current entry because it is original research. Any suggestions? The site is at: http://www.skulldude.com/sg1/indeed Skulldude 01:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

"Indeed" is not the final line spoken during the SG-1 series. General Landry says, "Godspeed" as the team makes its way to the gate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.186.197.229 (talk) 03:37, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Name
season 3 episode past and present Tealc mentions that his name means strength and it was given to him by his father

Brand?
No mention of his head brand? It's the single most recognizable feature, yet no mention is made of it. --72.202.150.92 03:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

 * The article now mentions a "golden tattoo", which it's not. It's a piece of solid gold, cast onto the exposed bone of his head. That's not how tattoos work! I wouldn't call it a "brand" either. Maybe an "implant"? It's the word body-modders use. "Implanted gold emblem" maybe? Avoiding the word "golden" is probably best, since it's not just golden, it's the actual metal gold.
 * 94.197.121.203 (talk) 17:38, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Character genesis?
This entry is written entirely 'in universe'. How about some info about the creation of this character? Was it written with Christopher Judge in mind? What other actors auditioned for this role? --72.202.150.92 03:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
Added new fact. Teal'c appeared in more SG-1 Episodes then (sic) the other characters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.38.95.6 (talk) 06:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't get that, since the IMDB says that he and Sam are in the same number of episodes. Chokolattejedi (talk) 01:43, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Beyond Season 10
While the movies aren't out yet, there is still a tiny glimpse of state of SG-1 after season 10 - we know from Atlantis that Carter left them, while Tealc (and at least one more member, since he says "we") stay in some way with SGC. Also, it's noticable that Tealc's temples still have grey hair, hence the timeline changed in "unending" still wasn't fixed (as I assume it will be in "continuum")

Do you think this information deserves to be here ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.199.94.2 (talk) 12:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Infobox image
I think the infobox image should be of the aged Teal'c from either "Unending" or AOT. How about using the promotional image, like the Stargate Wiki did? - Sikon (talk) 17:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The current one is a promotional one and what benefit would we gain from using the "Unending" one? he reverted back to a haircut close to his normal one in Atlantis when he appeared. Peachey88 (Talk Page 08:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Asgard expert?
We know from the episode Unending, that Daniel Jackson spends a considerable amount of time(decades) studying the history of the Asgard civilization, as well as other parts of the Asgard database. Surely, with a dearth of outside events, and a lack of other entertainment, discussions about Daniels recent discoveries would undoubtedly be a frequent topic of conversation at the dinner table. Since access to the Asgard computer would be very useful in such a dull situation, all of the team members would have likely mastered the Asgard language, including teal'c.

The Asgard Computer is mainly used in the episode for it's near-magical properties (time control, object/food creation), but it also comes with the entire knowledge database of the most advanced alien race in 5 galaxies. That would be really significant if you're spending a lifetime on a small ship.  Ghos t wo  16:49, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, but that is never mentioned in the show so we shouldn't mention it in the article. --Tango (talk) 17:52, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

 * It's kind of a shame that the series ended after this episode. Spending a third of his adult life on a ship would have had a lot of impact on the character.  It's like he's just been released from a 50 year prison sentence.  Sure he spent a lot of time training with Col. Mitchel, but surely he didn't do that 100 hours a week for 50 years... It all reminds me of No Exit/Huis Clos by Sartre.  Ghos  t wo  17:51, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Criticism
Although Alienware is often praised for building some of the fastest systems on the market, they have been criticized recently for various quality control issues and for their poor technical support department. There currently exists a very vocal community of angry Alienware customers who claim to have been victimized by Alienware's allegedly shady business practices. Some such customers have developed web pages so that others may avoid sharing similar experiences. Such web pages include: http://www.nethervault.com and http://www.badsoftware.com/alienwaresucks.

-- Might wanna also mention how alienware is notorious in the tech community for their outrageous prices. Im surprised the page doesn't even touch on this, im not saying we should slander the company, but when i think "alienware" I think markup.

-- I think "Markup, Pointless LEDs, and terrible Air Flow" Smortypi (talk) 23:40, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

--GreenReaper 23:07, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

I've put the Criticism section back in, but made it more Neutral.

Someone took it out again.

But those sites aren't good for an encyclopedia site, I mean a site saying "alienware sucks" in the URL won't be repected you know. Thedarksage 02:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

The "Customer Service" section seems angry, perhaps it could be made more objective? --Mystaker1 20:18, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

-

There is good cause for the customer service section to seem angry. Granted, I bought my Alienware before the Dell buyout, but it took me more than a year to get my machine. Part of it was not their blame...but their handling of it was craptacular. Ordered a machine and wired them almost 7k (my first mistake...I should have used a credit card to give me more corporate leverage). I got a monitor and a UPS in the mail...no computer...their "support" kept giving me the runaround for 6 months...to the day...then the supervisor told me that it was considered a lost shipment and that I was "screwed" and Alienware would not send another computer to me, nor would they reimburse me...even though they said that the records they had showed that the delivery was not completed. I eventually got what I ordered (only to have it blow up 3 mos later) but it required an attorney and talking to a govt "contractor" as well as paying to ship the box twice....as far as the machine I got...the liquid cooling system crapped out pretty early on (the radiator fans took a big dive)...stock type air cooling kept the CPU cooler than what they had...

Sardu (talk) 18:02, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Why is the criticism gone again? Now it reads like an ad, with no mention of their customer-service issues, nor the massive markups. -- Jay 12:49 22nd May 2006 I'm unregistered, but calling non-gamers "n00bs" I felt was too derogatory and non-neutral so I changed "n00bs" to "newbies and inexperienced computer users". Hope this is okay. I also added citation needed?

Why would the customer service section be 'objective'? They have you talk to foriegn people for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours... until months have gone by and then tell you "sorry nothing we can do, you're outside of warranty!". Must be cheaper to pay Indian call centers then it is to sell functioning equiptment.

Although I have had no experience with Alienware, there is a "community" of people who have shown dislike toward the company and questionable products and activities (I've had 3 friends who all had issues with the company). Surely there must be some reliable source to include for the critisisms? 12.210.215.90 04:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Right now it sounds like an ad, I ,myself have had problems with both their computers and customer service. The critisizims paragraph should be added back and kept objective. 24.74.16.11 02:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Criticisms really should be added. They overprice their computer quite a bit compared to similar homebuilt systems. I've seen a difference of over $1000 in some cases. Most prebuilt computers are overpriced though, but alienware goes even farther 206.219.74.132 (talk) 18:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry for necromancing a nearly 15 year old thread here, but I do feel this could be an important thing. On a side note, it seems things have gotten a little better in the prebuilt sector (and Alienware), but it's definitely still noticeable. Also from what I've seen, the sentiment seems to be coming more from people who build their own PCs. Arguably it's a bit like Apple (though definitely not as extreme) where you're paying for the brand. TheBuddy92 (talk) 02:40, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Nelson Gonzalez
Nelson Gonzalez redirects here. For me that's the same as Bill Gates redirecting to the Microsoft article. If someone knows how to do it - please fix it (or at least let me know. i'll do it :-)))

 * It is not too difficult, just "edit" it. Use this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nelson%20Gonzalez&action=edit and then you can edit the Nelson Gonzalez page. You will see that it says "#redirect Alienware" which makes it redirect to Alienware, so if you delete that rule, than it will stop doing that.
 * I would do it myself, but I have no particular knowledge about 'Nelson', so if you can type us an article: be my guest :-) Kind greetings from Brussels, --Vvim 10:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

BUYOUT BY DELL
This article should be somehow changed or merged due to the aquisition by Dell Inc. I'm not sure how this takes place so I have just suggested it instead of doing something wrong. Gsingh 03:17, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I believe that while it is owned by Dell, it should be kept seperate. Alienware will still be run as an independant body. This is completely different from Compaq which was not only made into a portion of HP when it was bought out but also wholly assimilated. The Compaq website in now just a redirect to HP.com which sell both HP and Compaq computers. To my understanding, Dell and alienware are to keep completely seperate domains. Also, Compaq has its own seperate article compared to HP, just as Emachines has a seperate article from Gateway. *shrug* Keep it as is I say or merge several companies. Shyranis 02:39, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

 * You are correct, Sir. And on a related note, you mention "Dell, Inc." which was once known as "Dell Computer Corporation". At the time I wrote the paragraph you (and anybody else are reading now, this article referenced "Dell Computers".  If all goes well, that will read "Dell, Inc." by the time you (or anyone else) reads this....  --angrykeyboarder 10:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Well its obvious when Dell means cheaper and put out faster it means outsource all of Alienwares jobs and technology to China, because majority of Dell PCs are made in Communist China, and it will take all credibilty from the name Alienware. Gwag 1:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Sounds like your Point Of View to me... If you have any evidence, from verifiable sources, then feel free to add it into the article. If not then that kind of comment is unnecessary, the talk page is to discuss the article, it is not a message board for general chat related to the company. On a side note I know that Alienwares ordered in Europe are assembled in Ireland which is also where their European tech support is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GBobly (talk • contribs) 16:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

removed
"== Customer Service == Since customer support claims are often difficult to verify, independent, online venues such as resellerratings.com (see external links below) are one of the only reliable methods of comparing Alienware's support quality to its competitors." It's opinion and really doesn't belong here

ResellerRatings isn't accurate either. Small companies will give free shipping, or even rebates for good reviews which makes the larger companies who couldn't possibly get away with something like this look like they have lower ratings.

I'm confused

 * Ive been hearing great stuff from PCmag and all those other rating companies. Then I hear from you guys that they're pieces of crap.  I don't know who/what to believe.  Someone give me the highlights of these [Alienware] systems,please.

 * That's right. Who really needs laptop for gaming ?? PC desktops are for gaming, consoles, handhelds too - but laptop ??

 * I think that people bash alienware because they need to vent there anger out on something. My friend reacently got an alienware area 51 (intel chip based) and I drilled him on how he likes it and he's said that he's had no problems from alienware or the computer and says its running beautyful. I think that we shouldnt blame the apple tree for a few bad apples. Just because a few people have had a few defective products doesnt mean that the whole company is bad. Its almost that same think as being racist but its with computers instead of people. also if your a big gamer most people just build there own pcs. Pheifdog

Maybe they bash Alienware because they sell systems with engineered periodic failures. I spend $3300 dollars on a desktop replacement that burned up three mainboards in 14 months, and they will do nothing for me.

Well, the fact that they overprice the hell out of the systems doesn't help. You can build a similar system for much less.

Acquisition
Taken from the "Acquisition" section of the article: "This has caused a lot of controversy with gamers. Alienware was a favorite among them while Dell supposedly caters to consumers and inexperienced computer users."

This is false and misleading. The acquisition has caused almost no controversey at all, and furthermore Alienware is NOT a favorite among gamers. Quite the contrary - any gamer you question will laugh at the THOUGHT of purchasing an Alienware machine in contrast to just builindg their own or possibly upgrading a lower end system. Actually, you could say Alienware was a perfect buy for Dell because they, too, cater to inexperienced users. They simply cater to the rich, inexperienced users. -EndTasked 11:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You're wrong, EndTasked. Any gamer you question would laugh at the thought of purchasing an Alienware?  How many gamers are you around?  None, right?  I am a gamer and I have an Area-51m m7700 and it is awesome.  And it is not just me, I have talked to a lot of other gamers and they said they would buy an Alienware in a second if they had the money.  --Rigist 02:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what me, my brother, and his friend all say, Rigist. We would all buy Alienwares.  It doesn't matter if you're a gamer who likes to build your PC, you can still upgrade the Alienware (you can even customize the Alienware on their site). Padishar 00:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Competitors
Sin Systems Inc.: how is a company that is only 8 months old considered enough of a competitor to be listed with companies that do millions of dollars worth of business a year? I think that this link is innacurate and, possibly, erroneously agrandizing a wanna-be startup without due cause.

 * Agreed. I also propose that this section is entirely removed. Just like the Acer page, a list of competitors or more accurately; a List of Computer System Manufacturers should be created and then this company listed among them -- Bboyskidz 21:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

AMD
The paragraph concerning AMD CPUs could use some work. It really doesn't make much grammatical sense at the moment. I would myself, but I don't have time at the moment, and I'm liable to forget about it. - Im.a.lumberjack 21:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the section as it was unsourced speculation. Racklever 07:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

There are far too many sections, perhaps we should put AlienGUIse and Operations under the History section? Seeing that the AlienGUIse section is no more than one sentence long. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Apcolter (talk • contribs).
 * These sections would only belong under history if they were no longer happening. Doesn't make sense to put them there. -Mike Payne 16:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The Operations section is really just the history of Operations, does it really merit it's own section?

Alienware Bot
Who is botting the Alienware article and preventing us from modifying it? Who is this guy Mike Payne, is this the Alienware advertisment bot? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.109.36.46 (talk • contribs). Mike, last time I saw you was at the hospital. I am glad you are okay. I have to wonder why you are bothering to defend Alienware. You know it has not changed. If anything, it's worse.
 * First of all, I am unaware of any botting of the article and not allowing people to modify it. I used to be an employee of Alienware for 3.5 years, and I do know a great deal about the company. I've deleted vandalism, jibberish, and a bunch of other crap. One of the other things I have been deleting is people spamming the article by saying Alienware used to compete with them when I have never heard of them and was unaware of their existence, this isn't the place for 1 person computer company spammers. Anyway, I'm not a bot(viewing my other contributions should prove that much), and I have only been making legitimate changes to the article. I no longer work for Alienware, I haven't for several years, and I have no official personal affiliation with them. -Mike Payne 15:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ahh I see, you're the one adding a lot of the vandalism and crap that I've been deleting. I'll keep doing it if necessary, the fact that you are a disgruntled customer should not allow you affect the public viewpoint of the company. I don't own an Alienware, I'd never buy one, but that's because I know enough that I could build my own and think all manufacturers are overpriced. If you had the money and lacked the knowledge and needed to buy a PC, there's nothing arong with an Alienware, and they certainly don't purposely engineer periodic failures, that's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. -Mike Payne 15:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Misc

 * The below was unorganized at the beginning of the talk page: -Mike Payne 15:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the edit made 00:57, 30 January 2007 by 70.185.185.178 - is a link to http://www.freealienwarelaptop.info/ appropriate for WP? Rob606 14:15, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I really think the criticism section needs to be added. I also plan to add (in wikipedia-worthy language) how alienware uses tactics like including top quality power supplies and motherboards, but always seems to use inexpensive out-dated CPUs, GPUs, and RAM. They really brag about how cool their systems are, when they are truly pieces of crap that are worth about 1/2 of their sale price. Check www.alienware.com and compare their components to www.newegg.com. (I will write this well, I just don't have time now) Any objections?
 * If you were to do some research, you would realize that Alienware systems are actually pretty competitively priced with other manufacturers, and offer many of the same parts. Alienware's CPUs, GPUs, and RAM are the same ones you will find when you build a computer with any other manufacturer, and of course you will be able to those parts for cheaper when you order everything seperately and build it yourself. It's the same case with any manufacturer. I really wouldn't go as far to call Alienwares "pieces of crap". Vlcmdude 01:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Objection supported. Their new laptops, the m15x, contains the fastest processor and graphics card available in laptops... How exactly is that out-dated? Not only that but they also offer SSD hard drives and smart-bay swapping technology. I'm afraid I fail to see where they are out-dated. I'll admit they're not cheap, but their prices are comparable.GBobly (talk) 16:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

This section was removed by an anonymous user (68.100.80.153). It is potentially NPOV, but may still have value:

Copyvio in History
Unsuprisingly, given its tone, the first part of the History section appears to have been lifted from alienware.com Zoganes 21:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I took out some of the marketing lingo and made it more objective. Hopefully that's better. :) -Mike Payne (T • C) 15:33, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

4TB HDD??!!
The start of the article reads "Alienware has also released an approximately 4 terabyte hard drive, the largest offered on a PC" This is obviously crap as there are no 4tb desktop HDD's available on the planet. Possibly there's a 4tb array available, if that's the case it should be stated as such. There are also no references so if no one objects I'd like to remove this information. Danno81 09:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I have removed it Racklever 12:21, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Location issue
It looks like we have a dispute as to the company's location. The company is clearly based in Kendall, Florida, not Miami.

I located, through the InfoTrac OneFile database, a source for this: Gary Shepherd, "Beauty, brawn, brains and bucks: with its vigorous economy and international charm, Southeast Florida is an ever-stronger locale for business," Florida Trend 15 October 2003, 120-125.

The relevant passage is as follows:

"Miami-Dade economic developers said in mid-2003 that the next 12 months would see 129 expansion or relocation projects, nearly 10,000 new jobs and more than $1 billion in capital investments. One such expansion is Alienware Corp., a Hispanic-owned manufacturer of highend computer game systems, which is investing $6 million and creating 155 jobs and 90,000 new square feet at its headquarters in Kendall. The 7-year-old firm now has 300 employees and expects fiscal 2003 revenues of $90 million."

It makes no sense to represent the company as based in Miami when it sits over 10 miles outside of the boundaries of the city of Miami. For the official boundary map, see: http://www.ci.miami.fl.us/Planning/Maps/MiamiRegion8x11.pdf. Alienware's headquarters next to the Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport isn't even in the region covered on the official boundary map!

This is nearly as bizarre as claiming that Apple is in San Jose just because Cupertino is in the San Jose metro area, or claiming that IBM is in New York City just because Armonk is in the NYC metro area. Kendall isn't in Miami, so Alienware it doesn't pay taxes to the city of Miami (except for the in-city kiosk at Dadeland Mall), and it certainly doesn't expect services from the City of Miami! Yes, boundaries do matter.--Coolcaesar (talk) 23:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, no one has responded. I am going to change the article to indicate that Alienware is in Kendall in a couple of days. --Coolcaesar (talk) 02:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Product List
Should we put a list of Alienware products in the article (just like the various Dell Product Line pages)? "It's over 9000!" 03:41, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe this would improve the article. •ǁ››»»|~'FishSaidNo'~|««‹‹ǁ• 11:47, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Innovations Section Removed
The source was Alienware's website and it lacked facts, but rather listed opinions such as "We are the best and most innovative."--173.20.69.144 (talk) 00:58, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Request to rollback
USER "Gesalbte" made changes to the article with a list of specification. Wiki is not a place to advertise your product. Its not a catalog. I vote we delete any edit made by that user. --216.237.22.181 (talk) 21:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

POV and Advertisement template
This POV and Advertisement template has been while since the models and prices have been cleaned up. Is it okay to go head to take this template off now? --JJ98 (talk) 18:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

No. Its needs to be re-written. Its not necessary to list all product of a certain company unless its influenced the way of life. Think Ipod. A history of a company might do some justice but cannot be written as advertisement. --216.237.22.181 (talk) 20:53, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Other articles has lists of products. For example the Dell XPS series, processors from Intel and AMD, graphics cards from nVidia and ATI. I use such articles a lot and I am very happy they exist. A way to cleanup this article could be to move the lists of products to a "List of Alienware Laptops" article, and "List of Alienware Desktops"? As long as the information is neutral and is made with technical facts (as opposed to hot marketing air) I really don't see the problem? SplatMan DK (talk) 13:14, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

No mention of its desktops
What?? it's lineup section only lists laptops. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.9.1 (talk) 03:21, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

-This is NOT a advertisement. The lineup should have been deleted. --75.19.39.108 (talk) 05:29, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Perhaps a separate article with the list of Laptops would be in order? And a separate article with the list of Desktops? Surely this can be done without constructing it as "advertisement". I use such pages on Wikipedia several times a month, for example with lists of products from nVidia, ATI, Intel and AMD. And other Dell machines are already listed (for example the XPS series). SplatMan DK (talk) 13:11, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Corrected model numbers for 2013 releases
I have corrected the latest model names of the M14x, M17x, and M18x. Dell has continued is existing naming convention for these models except on their website. All references to these new models, such as support documents, shipping documents and order forms, use the existing naming convention. I hope this will clear up confusion for people googling these models now and in the future. SplatMan DK (talk) 19:42, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, someone deleted this for some reason. Since it was an anonymous user, and since the use of these model numbers can be documented with URLs to Dells website as well as screenshots of Dell shopping carts (I am working on making such a screenshot and uploading it to Commons as documentation) I have reinserted the information. SplatMan DK (talk) 20:09, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Advert tag
I added an advert tag to the section "Computer systems models (after acquisition by Dell)"

The primary issue is that Wikipedia is not a sales catalog - descriptions of product lines is appropriate, but not full listings of individual models (both current and discontinued). The section is entirely unsourced and simply acts as a marketing tool for the manufacturer. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:34, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Copy editing
Corrected the space between "Florida" and the period. Made some adjustment on the last sentence of the second paragraph under "Acquisition and current status". These were minor edits, but I hope they helped. Farzan Ikhlas (talk) 23:01, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review

Good job on showing the different types of desktops and laptops. I have never heard of Alienware before and did not know that it is involved in gaming. I think it would be a good idea if you included a picture of a console that is made by Alienware. I only made few spelling corrections. My only suggestion is that you can talk about any future contributions to the gaming market. -Mohammed  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maltuwaijeri (talk • contribs) 18:23, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Linux?

Tomandandy is an American musical duo from New York City, consisting of members Thomas Hajdu and Andy Milburn. While they are best known for their work scoring films, the duo has also produced music for television commercials and programs, records and art installations.

Background
Andy Milburn was born in Texas and attended Princeton University. During that time, he contributed to the early computer music system called Real-time Cmix. Thomas Hajdu was born in Canada and moved to the United States to work on his graduate studies at Princeton University.

Career
Milburn and Hajdu moved to New York after graduating and started collaborating with film director Mark Pellington at MTV and film editors Hank Corwin and Bruce Ashley in the UK. Soon their work was being used in commercials, TV shows, feature films, art installations and record projects. Tomandandy quickly grew and they built a number of recording studios in New York and later in Los Angeles.

In 1992, Tomandandy appeared on the Red Hot Organization's dance compilation album, Red Hot + Dance, contributing an original dance track, "Theme From Red Hot & Dance (Gothic Mix)." The album attempted to raise awareness and money in support of the AIDS epidemic, and all proceeds were donated to AIDS charities.

In 2009, Tomandandy won Best Horror Score (runner-up) in Fangoria's Chainsaw Award for their score to The Strangers.

In 2020, Tomandandy's Tom Hajdu reflected on The Strangers soundtrack during an interview.

Xpress Pro

Avid Xpress Pro was a non-linear video editing software aimed at professionals in the TV and movie industry. It was available for Microsoft Windows PCs and Apple Macintosh computers.

Features
Xpress Pro included many of the high-end editing features offered by other Avid editing systems, and was closely based on Avid's Media Composer systems. In conjunction with the Avid Mojo hardware, it provided real-time uncompressed video editing at a professional level. Xpress Pro was capable of sharing media files with Avid's advanced Media Composer editing systems making it a capable logging or offline editing system for larger projects.

While Xpress Pro was originally aimed at DV and uncompressed standard definition editors, the upgrade to Xpress Pro HD with version 5.0 of the software added support for high-definition editing with the 8-bit version of Avid's DNxHD codec or Panasonic's DVCPRO HD codec, and version 5.2 added support for HDV editing. Unlike some other editing packages, Xpress Pro HD edits HDV natively by decompressing the MPEG-2 stream on the fly, rather than transcoding into an intraframe codec.

Xpress Pro was discontinued on March 17, 2008, and was no longer for sale after June 30, 2008. Avid offered Xpress Pro users a discounted upgrade price for their flagship non-linear editing software Media Composer.

One of the controversial aspects of the software was that it did not work on Microsoft's Windows Vista.
