SSSIs
Hi Vince - thanks for your edit to the SSSIs in S Yorks page. Do you have a citation for Ladies Spring Wood being an SSSI? The original list was taken from English Nature's website and I've checked again there and it's not listed. I know there are some errors on EN's site so this could be one. SP-KP 18:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi again - I think I've solved the mystery. English Nature seem to call this site Totley Wood - would that make sense? SP-KP 19:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've updated the SSSI List to reflect this. SP-KP 19:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Just pop in and say welcome to WikiProject Sheffield, It is nice to see a fellow Sheffielder editing on Wikipedia. Welcome and I hope you stay at Wikipedia. If you want any help post it on my talk page and I will help you as soon as possible. Abdullah Geelah 22:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Tom Waits
Thank you for the many great changes you made to the Tom Waits article in the last 24 hours. Someone, and I am not entirely certain who it was, got carried away with the purple prose, and over-the-top album descriptions. Sometimes fans of a particular book, movie, album, musician, or actor are the worst people to edit articles on said topic because they cannot seem to restrain themselves and their enthusiasms, as Robert De Niro put it. Your edits are a great improvement. Thanks again. ---Charles 18:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Your AIAV report
Ten minutes ago, you made the following report at Administrator intervention against vandalism:

 * Blatant vandalism to 8P8C, last warning given <24hrs previously. -- VinceBowdren 12:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

However, I have not blocked the IP because firstly, he/she has not vandalised for more than 30 minutes before you made the report; secondly, they have not been warned with the test1-test4 full series of warning templates. These templates are described in Vandalism. In future, please ensure that the vandal IP/user you report has been vandalising very recently, and has also vandalised even after the test templates were placed on his/her user talk page. Regards, Kimchi.sg 13:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Swallows wood
Vince - Hi, it is always good to discuss issues rather than enter 'edit wars'.

I make the following points:

"The nature reserve is not a 'small copse'. It is a 60-acre site of mixed habitats. I'm still trying to work out how to make the link work well in the article, but here is a photo of one of the nature reserve's information boards which I used as my primary source for what I have written: [1] "

I know this area well having walked it for almost 25years. It is a copse. If you add the surrounding areas of fields then you could argue a 60 acre site. I noticed last year that plastic banners and litter had been strewn across the site by 'environmentalists!!

''It is not unmanaged. When I passed through in December I noticed a fallen tree lying parallel to the path and the wall alongside, which had obviously not fallen in that place and alignment naturally. I'm afraid I don't have a citation (so I haven't made any claims in the article about the management of the nature reserve), but this was definitely a good example of woodland management in practice.''

This is FAR from evidence of management. There is no biological plan, diversity in species, felling or integration of the ecotone. I beleive the site should be managed by United Utilities but since privatisation this has reduced somewhat along the whole Longdendale valley - very sad, as Crowden used to be a fantastic area for walking.

There are certainly intentions to perform new planting to mitigate the damage which will be caused by the bypass; upstream there is a field which is filled with newly-planted saplings, and the plans for the bypass itself include environmental measures ([2]) but it is misleading of you to imply that a planting and management schedule would be an easy and effective substitute for the loss of established habitats, let alone an 'improvement'.

The very fact we have a planting and management schedule implies improvement?

There is no obvious emblem on the campaign to save swallows wood website; and even if they had adopted a swallow as their emblem, it is unfair of you to take this as evidence of their ecological or historical ignorance

The emblem has now been removed under humiliation. it was well covered in the local press. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.104.50.161 (talk) 11:45, 15 January 2007 (UTC).

VEB: I think this discussion would be better on the Swallows Wood article's talk page, so I have copied it to there.

The picture of the article for Buxton
Dood, that was the top of peak district. Well, we were in peak district and they told us that that was the highest mountain, so i guess that was the peak district, well, not peak district which was everything but the peak of peak district, so that's it. There was a medieval tower at the top. It was the mountain at the bottom of which you can find those caverns (btw they are nothing special and they cost a lot of money lol). If u know the name of the mountain we can add it. Onofre Bouvila 17:33, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Removal of tables; Projects
Hi,

I'd be grateful if you would look at the recent reverts on Manchester Ship Canal, Netherton Tunnel Branch Canal and Digbeth Branch Canal. You might also be interested in WikiProject UK Waterways and WikiProject Microformats. Andy Mabbett 14:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Removal of link
Can you explain why www.betterwithlabour.co.uk was removed from the NHS page whilst "Keep our NHS Public" remains there - both are political. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sm9488 (talk • contribs) 14:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC).

 * Fair point. On looking up the guidelines at WP:EL, it mentions at one point:

"When assessing external links you need to simply ask yourself the question: Why is the link not used as a source for the article? If the answer is 'because it is not a reliable source,' then don't link."
 * a political campaigning website is obviously not a reliable source, but then again nor is the website of a single-issue pressure group, so I am going to remove the other link as well. --VinceBowdren 15:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate your response. But can I question your assertion that "A political campaigning website is obviously not a reliable source". If you look closely at the website you'll find that there's absoutely nothing on there that is not cold hard fact. The data on the map is taken straight from the data that is publicly available on the Department of Health website. I can't understand how its taken to be less of a reliable source than many of the newspaper articles referred to throughout the article.Sm9488 17:23, 25 April 2007

 * Political parties are notorious for their bias. As noted at Reliable_sources/examples:

"Websites and publications of political parties, religious groups, anti-religious groups, or any other partisan group, may exhibit bias and should be treated with caution."
 * If the information is already available at a less politicised source (the DoH or some truly independent body) then let's source it there and include it in the article. --VinceBowdren 17:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

 * P.S. Even if every claim on the website is indeed cold hard fact, it may exhibit bias overall by the selective inclusion of facts favourable to the case they are trying to make. --VinceBowdren 17:13, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Buildings and structures in Sheffield
Hi, nice work on the category tidying. However, whilst I understand you adding Category:Buildings and structures in Sheffield to the geography category, don't you think that it should also remain under the top-level Sheffield category? I would agree that architecture is part of the geography of the city, but I think that most people would not think to look in a geography category for architecture. Thanks, —Jeremy (talk) 19:43, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I think you're right. On looking at the list of subcategories of Category:Sheffield, the Category:Geography of Sheffield does give a first impression of being about the physical geography of the city so having Category:Buildings and structures in Sheffield as another secondary category would be helpful. Done. --VinceBowdren 19:51, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks, —Jeremy (talk) 20:11, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Tom Waits (again, apparently...)
Regarding movie roles to be mentioned in the introduction, do you really think of Tom's role in Ironweed as minor? I do not believe it needs to be included in the introduction, simply because it is not a very well-known movie (unfortunately), but is it a minor role? I deleted The Outsiders from the intro because his role in that is all of, what, 2 minutes? At any rate, it's not a big deal one way or the other, just curious about your opinion. Cheers! --- RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  17:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

 * It's not that his role is minor in the film or that it wasn't critically well-received; it's just that his participation in that film wasn't a very big thing in terms of his overall career, which is what the intro is all about. --VinceBowdren 17:54, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, which is also why I just reverted the addition of Down By Law. Again, not a minor role, but not vital in his overall career. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  23:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:50, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Mike Zeck

Michael J. Zeck (born September 6, 1949) is an American comics artist. He is best known for his work for Marvel Comics on such series as Captain America, Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars, Master of Kung-Fu, and The Punisher as well as the "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline in the Spider-Man titles.

Early life
Mike Zeck was born in Greenville, Pennsylvania. He attended the Ringling School of Art in 1967, and after graduation worked at the Migrant Education Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Career
Zeck began his comics career in 1974, doing illustration assignments for the text stories in Charlton Comics' animated line of comics, which led to work on their horror titles. During this period he lived briefly in the Derby, Connecticut, area where Charlton was headquartered.

In 1977, Zeck started working for Marvel Comics on Master of Kung Fu with writer Doug Moench. In 2010, Comics Bulletin ranked Moench and Zeck's work on Master of Kung-Fu sixth on its list of the "Top 10 1970s Marvels". Zeck later worked on Captain America and drew covers for G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.

Zeck illustrated the Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars limited series in 1984. For this series, he designed a new black-and-white costume temporarily worn by Spider-Man. The plot that developed as a result of Spider-Man's acquisition of the costume led to the creation of the Spider-Man villain known as Venom.

In 1986, Zeck collaborated with writer Steven Grant on a Punisher miniseries which was later collected as The Punisher: Circle Of Blood and an original hardcover graphic novel of the character three years later.

Zeck illustrated the 1987 Spider-Man storyline "Kraven's Last Hunt", written by his former Captain America collaborator J. M. DeMatteis, which is considered to be one of the quintessential stories in Spider-Man's history, as well as the definitive Kraven the Hunter storyline.

DeMatteis remarked, "Because Mike nailed the plot elements so perfectly in his pencils—every action, every emotion, was there, clear as a bell — I didn't have to worry about belaboring those elements in the captions or dialogue. I was free to do those interior monologues that were so important to the story. If any other artist had drawn “Kraven's Last Hunt” ... it wouldn't have been the same story."

In 2004, Zeck's cover of Web of Spider-Man #32, which depicts Spider-Man escaping the grave into which he has been interred by Kraven, was recreated as a 12-inch-tall resin diorama statue by Dynamic Forces.

Zeck has worked for DC Comics as well. He contributed to Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe in the mid-1980s. Zeck drew the covers for the "Ten Nights of the Beast" storyline in Batman #417–420 (March–June 1988) and these covers were later collected in a portfolio. His other credits for the publisher include Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Legends of the DC Universe, and covers for Deathstroke, The Terminator. In 1999, he collaborated with writer Mark Waid on The Kingdom (illustrating issue #2, with Ariel Olivetti illustrating issue #1), a sequel to Kingdom Come.

Kolot

Kolot is a bun eaten in Trabzon in Turkey. It is made from salt, flour and oil collected from seven different houses, water brought from seven different rivers, and last of all seven pieces of wood collected from seven different hedges. These are made into a very salty bun. According to Trebizond folklore young girls who eat this bun see their possible husbands in their dreams that night. Its name is derived from Pontic Greek kolot "little bread" from the Armenian kolot "short".

Don't bother leaving a message, I'm done this was the straw that broke the camels back, a moment of clarity - I feel I've been wasting my time here. Now it could be the "keepers" are right and it's not a cruft-filled games guide but I just don't see it - that means I'm too far out of whack with the rest of the community for carry on, this is a waste of my time. Let me just quote someone - ''WikiProjects on fictional universes are more apt to defend articles than WikiProjects on aspects of the real one. I would not expect Wikipedia:WikiProject Science to defend a biography of a non-notable scientist just because it was on a scienctist and therefore related to "their" subject. But I've never seen a fiction WikiProject say "this is too much detail" or "this is effectively original research".''

I really think there are two wikipedias developing here - there is the factual wikipedia that deals with living people, arts, the sciences and the humanities. I think by and large this side of wikipedia (let's call it factopedia) works well, people discuss and argue but they generally try and move forward in an objective manner. Then there is the fictional side (let's call it cruftopedia) - a ugly cruft filled side - where no article is too long to extend, no subject too minor to have it's own separate article, no game item too small to have pages of lists created for it. I actually spent most of my time editing cruftopedia but it's just depressing for someone who wants to develop wikipedia as a well-sourced general reader's encylopedia, which has strong, to the point, articles.

Take the crufopedia article I've linked above - the standard lines have alright appeared "it's notable" - yeah every pair of booties a fictional character wore is notable and suitable for a general reader's encylopedia. The main weapon of cruftopedia is the this shouldn't be afd'd this should be cleaned up - in theory with many articles (not with that one) they are right, in practice they are wrong. I've followed a number of AFDs and clean-up notices on cruftopedia and the pattern is always the same "Clean-up, we'll clean it up!" and of course it never happens, no clean-up is attempted. So of course when a tool does not work, you have to escalate to the next tool, by either proding an article or AFDing. I think most factopedia editors already know before they AFD an article that the special interest groups on cruftopedia will never allow their precious cruft to be removed - it has to grow and grow and grow. However with AFD, there is at least a chance they will be forced into a clean-up of an article.

So I wish you all the best - hell I might just get a new identity and become a full-time cruftapedian myself - I might start with list of costumes that the wasp worn once in the avengers during the 1969-1980 period - something with a lot of value to the general reader. --Larry laptop 10:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Respect Thread Conversions
I'm looking for folks to help convert Respect Threads to wiki formatting on Project Fanboy: WikiFans. Respect Threads, showcase scans of feats performed by comic book characters and have gained an audience on several comic book message boards. A few other wiki editors and myself are trying to convert them from the unprofessional look of a bunch of posts on a message board to the formatting common with WikiMedia wiki's. To view an example of what we're doing, here is a link to Respect Silver Surfer.

Pristine the band
Hi! I have nominated your article Pristine the band for deletion, because I believe the band does not have enough "encyclopedic relevance" (see also WP:MUSIC). Feel free to state your objections or comments on the relevant page. --Mormegil 15:43, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Speedy deletion nomination of Twisted Individual
A tag has been placed on Twisted Individual requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  Glenfarclas  ( talk ) 06:56, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Lame. For cripe's sake, this article has already been created and deleted twice by other users. There are around eight wikipedia pages directing to a once again non-existent Twisted Individual page. The last deletion was by somebody who specializes in pages on birds and invertebrates. Why don't users let people who have more relevant knowledge of a subject's notability attend to matters relevant? Do the users who deleted these pages listen to drum and bass? Do they know which artists in the genre are notable?

Enough with hair-trigger speedy deletions. Stick to fields in which you have expertise, if you're going to make quick decisions which require expertise. My page--the latest Twisted Individial page--included info which established notability--at least enough to make it for a starter page. Mind your business.

Wikipedia Stories Project
Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I'm scouring user pages looking for inspiring, motivating and interesting stories of how Wikipedia has affected the lives of people. I'm asking questions like "How has Wikipedia changed your life?", "What's the most interesting story you have about Wikipedia?" and "Has Wikipedia ever surprised you?"

Last year, we used the annual fundraiser as a way to show the world who it is who actually writes Wikipedia. We featured editors from Brazil, Ukraine, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, India, United States and England. This campaign was a huge success, resulting in the most financially successful fundraising campaign ever. It was also a campaign that stayed true to the spirit of Wikipedia, educating the public that this free top-5 website is created by volunteers like you and I.

This year we want to highlight more Russian-language Wikipedia editors, so I am in the process of planning a trip to Russia to interview editors.

If you or someone you know (or have heard about) has been positively affected by Wikipedia, or have something interesting to say about Wikipedia I'd very much like to hear about it!

Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know someone else with whom I should speak.

Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I will answer as soon as I can. I apologize for any poor translation of this letter, I am using Google-translate. I hope it makes you laugh :)

Thank you for your time,

Victor Grigas

Привет!

Меня зовут Виктор, и я рассказчик с Wikimedia Foundation, некоммерческая организация, которая поддерживает Википедию. Я хроник вдохновляющих историй сообщества Википедии по всему миру, в том числе и читателей, редакторов и доноров. Истории совершенно необходимы для любой некоммерческой органицации, чтобы убедить людей поддержывать наш проект, и мы знаем, что у людей, которые строют и используют Википедии есть много, что рассказать!

Я ищу вдохновляющие страницы пользователей, и интересных историй о том, как Википедия влияют на жизнь людей. Я задавал вопросы вроде "Как Википедия изменила Вашу жизнь?", "Какая самая интересная история у Вас есть о Википедии?" и "Википедия ли когда-нибудь Вас удивило?"

В прошлом году мы использовали ежегодный сбор средств как способ показать миру, кто на самом деле пишет Википедия. Мы показывали редакторов из Бразилии, Украины, Аргентины, Саудовской Аравии, Кении, Индии, США и Англии. Этот метод имел огромный успех, в результате чего у нас была наиболее финансово успешная кампании по сбору средств в историе организации. Кроме того, мы остались верны духу Википедии, просвещение общественности, что это бесплатно ТОП-5 Сайт создан добровольцами, как Ви и я.

В этом году мы хотим выделить еще редакторов Википедии на русском языке, так что я нахожусь в процессе планирования поездки в Россию и интервью с редакторами.

Если Википедия положительно повлеяла на Вас или на кого-то из Ваших знакомых, или у Вас есть что-то интересное сказать о Википедии, я бы очень хотел услышать об этом!

Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать, если Ви бы хотели участвовать в проекте Истории Википедии, или если вы знаете кого-то еще, с кем я должен поговорить.

Конечно, если у Вас есть какие-либо вопросы или сомнения, пожалуйста, обращайтесь! Я отвечу, как только смогу. Извините за плохой перевод этого письма, я использую Google-перевод. Я надеюсь, что заставляет вас смеяться :)

Спасибо за Ваше время,

Victor Grigas

Tawse

The tawse, sometimes formerly spelled taws (the plural of Scots taw, a thong of a whip) is an implement used for corporal punishment. It was used for educational discipline, primarily in Scotland, but also in schools in a few English cities e.g. Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Liverpool, Manchester and Walsall.

A tawse consists of a strip of leather, with one end split into a number of tails. The thickness of the leather and the number of tails is variable. Many Scottish makers of horse tack made tawses for local schoolmasters. The official name "tawse" was hardly ever used in conversation by either teachers or pupils, who instead referred to it as either the school strap or the belt, the normal term for an unforked implement, as worn in trousers (see belt).

Schools
Scottish state (public) schools used the tawse to punish pupils of either sex on the palm of the outstretched hand. Pupils were usually instructed to hold out one hand, palm uppermost, supported by the other hand below, which made it difficult to move the hand away during the infliction of the strokes. It also ensured that the full force of each stroke was taken by the hand being strapped. The punishment was usually inflicted by the class teacher in front of the entire class, to act as a deterrent to others; sometimes by a designated teacher, such as the Deputy Headmaster, to whom the pupil was sent.

This was wielded in primary as well as secondary schools for both trivial and serious offences, and girls got belted as well as boys. Nearly 6 in 10 girls were strapped in school.

In Walsall and Gateshead, and in some schools in Manchester and Nottingham, students (mainly male) were tawsed on the seat of the trousers.

Some Scottish private (independent) schools also used the tawse, such as Keil School. St Aloysius' College, Glasgow used the ferula, a thin strip of metal covered in rubber, but others such as Fettes College used the cane instead, as did most schools in England outside the north-east.

In 1982, two Scottish mothers went to the European Court of Human Rights, who passed a judgment that parents had the right to refuse corporal punishment of a child. This judgement led indirectly to the use of the tawse (and all other forms of corporal punishment) being banned by law in UK state schools. The legislation came into force in 1987, but most Scottish local education authorities had already abolished it by the early 1980s.

John J. Dick Leather Goods was a manufacturer in Lochgelly estimated to have made around 70% of tawses when they were used in schools. Original tawses sold for around £6 in 1982 but twenty years later, some collectors were paying hundreds of pounds each for rare items.

Judicial
The tawse was also used for judicial corporal punishment in Scotland as an alternative to the more usual birch. Courts could sentence boys of over 14 but under 16 to up to 36 strokes with an extra-heavy tawse for any offence. This was administered to the offender's bare buttocks. Judicial corporal punishment was abolished in 1948.

Ignatius Jones

Juan Ignacio Rafaelo Lorenzo Trápaga y Esteban (24 October 1957 – 7 May 2024), known professionally as Ignatius Jones, was a Filipino-born Australian events director and journalist who fronted the shock rock band Jimmy and the Boys. From 1976 to 1982, the group pioneered the use of shock theatrics in Australia. By the end of the 1970s they were "one of the most popular live acts on the Australian scene" with Jones performing as lead vocalist and contortionist alongside Joylene Thornbird Hairmouth (born William O'Riordan) on keyboards and vocals as a kitsch transvestite. In 1981, they scored their only top 10 single with "They Won't Let My Girlfriend Talk to Me", which was written by Split Enz leader Tim Finn. In 1982, after their disbandment, Jones pursued a solo career and by the mid-1980s was a member of a swing jazz-cabaret band, Pardon Me Boys, with O'Riordan and Jones' sister, Monica Trapaga – former Play School presenter. In 1990 Jones, with Pat Sheil, co-wrote True Hip and Jones followed it a year later with The 1992 True Hip Manual.

As an actor, Jones appeared on TV series including Sweet and Sour (1984) and Culture Shock (1985). He had minor roles in comedy films including Those Dear Departed (1987) and Pandemonium (1988).

For the 1992 musical film Strictly Ballroom, Jones sang "Yesterday's Hero" (original by John Paul Young). Jones worked with David Atkins on the 2000 Sydney Olympics opening and closing ceremonies, which included co-directing the horse segment that launched the opening ceremony. The pair oversaw the Opening Ceremony of Shanghai 2010 World Expo and the ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. In 2017, Jones was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Australian Event Awards.

Biography
Ignatius Jones was born on 24 October 1957 as Juan Ignacio Rafaelo Lorenzo Trápaga y Esteban, in Singalong, Manila, Philippines, to a Basque-Chinese father, Nestor Juan Trápaga, and a Catalan-American mother, Margot (born 15 May 1935, nee Esteban). Also born in Manila were two of his younger siblings, Luis Miguel and Rocio Maria (born 9 August 1962). His paternal grandfather was a conductor while Jones' father, Nestor, was a musician playing violin, conga and bongo drums.

Jones's maternal grandfather, Luis Esteban (died 1964), was an actor and professional cartoonist, while his maternal grandmother, Mary Case Esteban (born 1908), was a caterer for state events – including for then-President Ferdinand Marcos – and a couturier. In January 1963, Nestor migrated to Australia via a plane flight to Sydney, followed in March by Margot (Margaret) and their three children.

Jones' younger sister, Monica Trapaga, was born in 1965 in Sydney – she was later a Play School presenter and children's entertainer. Jones became a naturalised Australian in 1971, but maintained a dual Spanish-Australian citizenship. Jones grew up in Wahroonga and attended St Leo's Catholic College before switching to St Ignatius' College, Riverview, near the Sydney river-side suburb of Lane Cove. Jones contended for dux of his year level with Tony Abbott – later Prime Minister of Australia; Jones struggled with mathematics but excelled in Ancient Greek and Latin. Jones followed Monica to her dance lessons and started a theatrical career as a classical ballet dancer but switched to more contemporary music.

Jimmy and the Boys
In 1976, Jones was a founding mainstay member of shock rockers Jimmy and the Boys with Joylene Thornbird Hairmouth (born William O'Riordan) which formed in Sydney. The original line-up was Jones on lead vocals, Hairmouth on keyboards and vocals, Tom Falkinham on bass guitar, Scott Johnson on drums, Jason Morphett on saxophone and Andrew de Teliga on guitar. On-stage, Jones was also a contortionist and Hairmouth was "the kitchiest [sic] of transvestites", other than Jones and Hairmouth, the line-up was regularly changed. By the end of the 1970s they were "one of the most popular live acts on the Australian scene". In 1981, they scored their only top 10 single with "They Won't Let My Girlfriend Talk to Me", written by Split Enz leader, Tim Finn. After issuing two studio albums and a live set, the group disbanded in 1982 with Jones set to pursue a solo career.

From Pardon Me Boys to Monica and the Moochers
In April 1982, Jones issued his debut solo single, "Like a Ghost", which was written by the Church's frontman Steve Kilbey. Jones' second single, "Whispering Your Name", appeared in March 1983. Both singles were "hot dance club favourites among the gay community on the American west coast".

In 1984, Jones formed Arms & Legs with Jeremy Cook on drums, Kirk Godfrey on guitar (ex-Big Red Tractor), Steve Harris on bass guitar (Passengers, Visitors) and Andrew Ross on keyboards (Ward 13) but they disbanded after a year. In 1985, Jones was a member of the swing jazz-cabaret band Pardon Me Boys, with O'Riordan and Jones' sister, Monica Trapaga.

As a journalist, Jones contributed to RAM (a.k.a. Rock Australia Magazine) – starting in 1983, The Edge and, in June 1985 became the editor of Stiletto magazine.

In 1984, as an actor, he appeared in an episode of ABC-TV's music drama series, Sweet and Sour. In 1985, he appeared on Culture Shock for SBS-TV as a reporter on youth affairs and interviewer. For the 1987 comedy film, Those Dear Departed, Jones acted in the role of Phil Rene alongside stars Garry McDonald and Pamela Stephenson. For the 1988 campy comedy film, Pandemonium, he portrayed a marriage celebrant and supported David Argue in the lead role. In 1990 Jones, with Pat Sheil, co-wrote True Hip and Jones followed it a year later with The 1992 True Hip Manual.

On the soundtrack for the 1992 musical film Strictly Ballroom, Jones performed John Paul Young's song "Yesterday's Hero", and the Spanish dance-flavoured "Rhumba de Burros". In 1997 he co-directed, with Trapaga, a children's video, Monica's Seaside Adventure, by Monica and the Moochers with Peter Cox and George Washingmachine. In 1999, he directed Monica's Trip to the Moon by Monica and the Moochers with McKaw, Fridge, Compost Bin and Dr. Wango Tango. The track, "Old Doctor Wango Tango", was co-written by Jones and Julian Gough.

Later career: events director
Jones with David Atkins, were the creative directors for the 2000 Sydney Olympics opening and closing ceremonies, which included co-directing the horse segment that launched the Opening Ceremony. He was responsible for Sydney's Millennium Celebrations and directed its New Year's Eve and Centenary of Federation celebrations.

In 2002 with Atkins, Jones co-wrote and co-directed the stage musical The Man from Snowy River: Arena Spectacular. Also that year, Jones staged the Independence Ceremonies of the Democratic Republic of East Timor for the United Nations. In November, Jones directed the 2002 Gay Games Opening Ceremony, he greeted the audience of 38,000 with "Australia and the gay and lesbian community is not so much a melting pot ... We are more of a mixed salad, where every part remains separate, yet adds to the wonder of the whole ... I have been lucky, I have never had to come out, I was never in".

In 2005, he produced a corporate event at the Jeddah Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia. Jones and Atkins worked on the ceremonies of the Doha 2006 Asian Games. Jones and Atkins also worked on the Opening Ceremony of the Shanghai 2010 World Expo and the ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. From 2011 until 2019, Jones was creative director of Vivid Sydney.

Alaska
On the IfD page you wrote: "...you didn't invade Alaska?!? *throws book out window*"

1 - the following is an extract from the Wikipedia article for Alaska:

"At the instigation of U.S. Secretary of State William Seward, the United States Senate approved the purchase of Alaska from Russia for $7,200,000 ($90,000,000 approx in 2003) on 9 April 1867, and the United States flag was raised on 18 October of that same year (now called Alaska Day). Coincident with the ownership change, the de facto International Date Line was moved westward, and Alaska changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, therefore, for residents, Friday, October 6, 1867 was followed by Friday, October 18, 1867... two Fridays in a row because of the date line shift."

2 - What book did you throw out the window?

Answer: it was taken from the wikipedia article "Christian denominations". I've taken the webshot as png. But the original graphics was just text. I think the png format can be better transported or downloaded and I recommend the author of the article Christian denominations replace the text format with the png. BnaiBrithChai

Shenrons
Okay Mr Man, if you insist, I will merge all of the Shenron articles (with the exception of the most important one). But if I do, does that mean I can go around merging all kinds of articles? Example: could I merge the articles De Lorean Motor Company and De Lorean DMC-12? As the said company only produced the one car. Or ALL the individual Pokemon articles, with the possible exception of Pikachu as thats the only one anyone's ever heard of? I thinks all of these things, and more, deserve their own articles, for the simple reason that Wikipedia is not paper. User:Supersaiyanplough 04:00, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Help w/properly listing VfD
You seem pretty knowledgeable about some procedural stuff. Cruising thru "Deadend" and found Anvil with the book which has a VfD tag & a VfD page but I can't find it on the daily VfD logs or master VfD list. Seems like the listing process got stalled somewhere along the way. I'm a little reluctant to attempt to list it myself just in case my slow connection + my large browser caching + temporary blindness means it's already there and I just missed it. Could you double-check this, please? Also, if the VfD listing process was incomplete, I would greatly appreciate a line or two on my talk page explaining what happened and how you fixed it so I can do it myself in the future. Thanks very much. Soundguy99 17:02, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Link to VfD debate?
Hello. I'm clearing out the notices at Speedy_deletions and saw that you listed a couple of images for speedy deletion because they were orphans of a VfD'd article. Your name is one I recognize and trust (you're very good about cleanup) but since I'm the one who has to push the delete button, it is my responsibility to be certain an image should be deleted. Could you provide a link to the appropriate VfD debate? Thank you. SWAdair | Talk 01:58, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Your work on speedy deletions
Thanks for helping add nonsense to speedy deletions and for cleaning up red links. Now, if only an admin would actually get rid of the rest of those pages... 04:53, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, it's times like these I wish *I* had the power... I'm sure it wouldn't take many minutes for someone to clear that list entirely, and yet it always keeps building up... Master Thief Garrett 04:58, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Just wandering by and I saw this. I try to clear the speedies once a day, as do others. It's not that quick though. Every one has to be checked; history, what links here, and is the content valid. Roughly one in ten I remove the tag from because the page is not really a speedy candidate. Usually these are pages that should be kept, sometimes they need to go to VfD.

Admin prep school
Hello, again. I see that two messages up you said "Well, it's times like these I wish *I* had the power..." You certainly do enough cleanup around here that you could make good use of the extra buttons. I went checking. Kate's tools say you've made 2237 edits to the English Wikipedia, and that number is certain to be skewed on the low side because so many of your edits are tagging vandalism for deletion. Your interaction with others is always polite and level-headed, even after provocation. You're involved with cleanup all over the place. You've been here since April 11th. What?! April 11th? You've gotta be kidding. Remind me when July 11th rolls around and I'll be happy to nominate you. Many people use three months as a minimum to see if a person burns out after a brief rush of activity, to give time to gauge interaction skills, etc. One thing, though. You were using edit summaries consistently up until recently. Type an edit summary every single time. Every time. Everything we do here is available for scrutiny by anyone in the world, but edit summaries are an extra way of making our actions transparent. Many people weigh use of edit summaries heavily when considering an RfA. Otherwise, you're doing everything I would expect of an admin. It won't be long before your time for RfA rolls around. SWAdair | Talk 10:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, my edit count is so low because almost all of my edits these days are deletions. My online time comes in short bursts and I can get called away at any moment, so I try to handle things that can be quickly decided and acted upon.  That means my main mission each time I log on is to clear Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.  I wish there was an easy way to keep track of edits including deleted edits, but oh well...  SWAdair | Talk  02:45, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Hey - no fair! I saw him first! ;) I made some comment about MTG being future admin material after he'd been here two weeks (I was quite stunned when i realised - he jumped right in boots'n'all).

 * Hi! I've been eavesdropping on your discussion with SWAdair.  You mentioned that non-admins can close VfDs.  By all means, do any keep or merge and redirect discussions.  Leave anything that requires deletion to admins, however--if you put the top and bottom closing templates on a discussion, they probably won't realize that the article hasn't actually been deleted.  You probably knew that already, but there have been occasional problems in the past, and I want to save the inconvenience. Cheers, --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 03:58, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. You did us a service. I was hoping some completely uninvolved third party would do it, but your participation in the dispute was minor enough that it doesn't appear that you are taking sides. My opinion, in general, is that when things get a little overly rowdy in the open air, a completely uninvolved third party should move the discussion to neutral ground, that way it's not seen as a partisan move. --Unfocused 14:37, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Some advice on a VFD discussion?
Hi, MTG, I've been keeping an eye on a VFD discussion of mine and it seems to have gone a bit wacky.

Closing VfDs
I appreciate your concerns, but I have been closing VfD debates for a long time and I don't feel that adding extra comments would be worth the effort. The debate pages are set to generate automatic edit summaries, which I feel are enough. At the same time the automatic summaries also make it much more time consuming to append my own comments. To me it is far more important to add a detailed comment to the deletion record or to the history of the article and its talk page if it is kept. I am proud to do more detailed annotations in these areas than almost any other closer. - SimonP 05:58, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

Ocarnia of Time: Fate of the Kokiri
Hello. I was the author of that 1-liner that you reversed. I still maintain that they fled indoors, since they are actually indoors hiding from the Deku Babas and Scrubs when adult Link goes back to the village (save for Mido). My impression is, Ganondorf is too busy to personally send armies to hunt down the Kokiri (he would also have to physically find it), what with trying to find Zelda and all, as well as them staying hidden and not making much fuss (and therefore not as great a threat to Ganondorf's rule), so he just threw curses at them. With no Great Deku Tree, Giant Deku Babas would be enough to control the Kokiri. - 128.135.62.64 (hm, maybe I should get a name)

 * Yes it makes sense, but there is still a problem: accuracy. There is a big difference between canon (official ingame/manual info) and non-canon (fan-originated speculation and logical reasoning). Unfortunately, theories really cannot be presented alongside reliable and official facts without saying "many fans believe" or similar. It can get confusing.

 * Yes, by all means, you should get an account! I look forward to your new identity and contributions! Have a nice day! Master Thief GarrettTalk 01:57, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Got an account now. Question: where does it say that the Kokiri fled to the forest?  In game?  (Certainly not in the manual, I don't think Nintendo would make a foul-up like that).  Megarockman 10:38 24 May 2005 (CDT)

Thank you for attempting to fill in the missing information on the Image: pages for pictures in the Link article. Will you help me find suitable images from zelda.com so we can finally have Link featured on the main page and show the world WP gaming articles aren't all crap? I'd say we can ditch a few promo pictures, like that of Moosh (perhaps replace it with a low-res Wind Waker screenshot showing Medli or Makar) and reduce the amount of pictures to about four or five (which strengthens the case for fair use). We can perhaps replace the lead picture with a Twilight's Princess promo artwork piece, so we have a direct Nintendo source instead of some secondary archive. What do you think?

Talk:Yosef Shalom Elyashiv

Age
Rabbi Eliashiv may be old, but he's got his senses. I don't think it is reasonable to blame his "entourage" for bending or reinterpreting responses. As for the Slifkin case, he is one of the signatories after incitement by an unnamed Bnei Berak Rabbi. He has signed many more proclamations in a similar fashion, and (as Slifkin's web page testifies) he stands behind his condemnation. Every rabbi may invoke Daat Torah as reason for his opinion. Whether this is accepted is an entirely different matter and need not be discussed specifically in his case. JFW | T@lk  11:35, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

youth/family
Would it be possible to expand on place of birth, parents, and youth. The article assumes that he was born the great rabbi he is today, with no information on how he got there, which schools he studied in, significant events in his life, parents occupation, siblings, wife, other children, etc... --Shuki 14:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I finally confirmed his mother's name two different sources. I wasn't sure the first time I heard this name since it means that the Rav's mom was born to a Chassidish Chabad family, which is quite interesting. Anyone know his father's name?

Place of birth
I am moving here. I was under the impression that Rav Eliashiv was born in Jerusalem, can anyone confirm this? Thanks. IZAK

No he moved to palestine when he was 12 years old. His parents came from lithuania, and were close to the turkish speaking jewish community there (the karaim). If I am not mistaken, the surname of his parents were actually turkish, namely erener. 77.249.201.75 (talk) 23:29, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

What was the name of the daughter killed by the Jordanians? Tomertalk 00:13, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I just put his children's names in the infobox. He had 12 children, not 11 — five sons and seven daughers. One son, Yitzchak, died as a child, and one daughter, Rivkah, died in Jordanian shelling in 1948. I expanded the family section using an online reference. The article listed the the daughters in order of birth, but not the sons. Yoninah (talk) 20:43, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Progeny
Out of eleven children, six of his daughters married significant rabbinic figures:

 * Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, a major posek who lives in Bnei Brak, Israel, & son of Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky.
 * Rabbi Yosef Yisroel Yisraelzon, head of the "Bar Shaul" kolel in Rehovot (d. 2009).
 * Rabbi Elchonon Berlin, rov of the "Achva" shul
 * Rabbi Yitzchok Zilberstein, the Chief Rabbi of Ramat Elchanan and the rabbi of the Mayenei HaYshua Hospital in Bnei Brak. Rabbi Zilberstein's wife has died, and he has since remarried.
 * Rabbi Ezriel Auerbach, the son of Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach.
 * Rabbi Binyomin Rimmer, a rosh yeshiva at the Tshebiner Yeshiva in Jerusalem and at the Kiryat Melech Yeshiva in Bnei Brak.

Position
Wasn't he once a judge in the Rabbanut and resigned in protest of an incident where Rabbi Goren dismissed a ruling of his and his fellow judges, due to a political request by Golda Meir? This Wikipedia page does not reflect that part of his life.

Proposed page rename
This page was moved from Yosef Shalom Elyashiv to Yosef Shalom Eliashiv on 29 August 2006 by a user who claimed it is the "correct spelling of name". Well, according to all English sources that I'm consulting to expand the page, Elyashiv is the more common spelling in English. (On Google, Eliashiv gets 116,000 hits and Elyashiv gets 148,000 hits.) Can other editors weigh in on whether to rename the page Yosef Shalom Elyashiv? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:43, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Your google test shows no preference for either spelling; 116 and 148 are about the same for such a crude measure. On the other hand, English newspapers in Israel like Haaretz, Ynet and J Post prefer "Elyashiv" by a very large margin (more than a factor of 10). The only Haredi magazine I looked at (Mishpacha) uses Elyashiv exclusively. Without more information, it seems that Elyashiv would be a better name, so I support moving it back.

RAV?
Should the mentions of "Elyashiv" be changed to Rabbi Elyashiv, as Rabbis are not traditionally referred to by last name only? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.182.130.199 (talk) 13:26, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

obviously a reliable source
Please tell me what specifically makes the source not reliable or proper. I think the info is relevant and it is from an article Rav Elyashiv wrote in the yated.Meir Hakoton (talk) 07:49, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * You are not providing a usable source/citation. Based on the information you are adding, it is impossible to tell whether it's reliable or not.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 15:32, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Sally Hacker

Sara "Sally" Lynn Hacker (née Swank, September 25, 1936 – July 24, 1988) was a feminist sociologist who investigated cultures surrounding technology. She was interested in how changes in technology affected gender stratification.

Biography
Hacker was born and raised in Litchfield, Illinois. In her junior year of high school, she was expelled for becoming pregnant with her son. After expulsion, she attended A.A. Wright Junior College and later won a scholarship to the University of Chicago (U of C). She graduated from U of C with a bachelor's degree in 1962, a master's degree in 1965 and a doctorate in 1969. Her dissertation, "Patterns of World and Leisure: An Investigation of the Relationships between Childhood and Current Styles of Leisure and Current Work Behavior among Young Women Graduates in the Field of Public Education" was supervised by Alice Rossi.

Hacker worked for Rossi, Phil Stone and Fred Stodtbeck as a research assistant at the U of C and also at Harvard University. In the late 1960s she worked as a clinical instructor in psychiatry for the Baylor University College of Medicine and as a staff sociologist at the Texas Research Institute of Mental Sciences in Houston. In the 1970s, she studied women and technology at AT&T (Bell Company.) Her research found that while AT&T claimed to promote hiring initiatives for minorities and women, the reality was that women and minorities were hired mainly for jobs "next to be automated."

From 1971 to 1976, she was an assistant professor of sociology at Drake University. While in Iowa, Hacker and her husband, Barton Hacker, founded the Des Moines chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW).

Hacker went on to attend engineering classes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and architecture classes at the Linn-Benton Community College in order to better understand technology and its relationship to gender stratification. While at MIT, Hacker explored students' reasons for going into engineering.

She was a professor of sociology at Oregon State University (OSU) from 1977 until 1988. Hacker died of lung cancer in Corvallis, Oregon July 24, 1988.

In 1989, her last book, published posthumously, Pleasure, Power, and Technology: Some Tales of Gender, Engineering, and the Cooperative Workplace was highly praised.

The American Sociological Association awards a graduate student paper award each year in her memory. In 1999, an annual award called the Sally Hacker Prize was established by the Society for the History of Technology. This award recognizes "exceptional scholarship that reaches beyond the academy toward a broad audience."
