Edit
Why did you undo my reply? Alexmov — Preceding undated comment added 21:20, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia allows one to interleave replies. Alexmov (talk) 21:23, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Here is an interleaved response. If one looks at the time stamp (as opposed to the nested structure), it was written after the one below and no one has responded to it. I ought to be allowed to edit it without you or anyone else reverting it. 2603:8001:D300:6C00:CC2F:199B:8F20:6EBB (talk) 21:31, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * When two different users respond, you can interleave responses. The responses are not sequential. I editted a response I had just posted. 2603:8001:D300:6C00:CC2F:199B:8F20:6EBB (talk) 21:28, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Yes, interleaving responses is allowed. The reasons for my edits are stated in their edit summaries, of course.
 * When your fellow editors explain Wikipedia tools, policies, and norms to you on talk pages, you ignore the information. It's classic ICANTHEARYOU. Therefore I no longer consider it a good use of time, to discuss these things with you on talk pages. My current plan is simply to revert any damage that you do to Wikipedia. Mgnbar (talk) 21:36, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the response. Would you please be kind enough to point me to a webpage that might allow me to delete my account? 2603:8001:D300:6C00:CC2F:199B:8F20:6EBB (talk) 21:38, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Or instructions that might help me delete my account... Many thanks. 2603:8001:D300:6C00:CC2F:199B:8F20:6EBB (talk) 21:39, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Ups, it looks like I was logged out. Alexmov (talk) 21:40, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * There are a couple of options linked here: Username_policy. But the simplest (and preferred) solution is simply to stop editing — that is, let your account sit idle. Mgnbar (talk) 21:43, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Alexmov (talk) 21:53, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I normally write all my scientific articles under a male pseudo name. In recent years, I have made the mistake of posting pictures of myself which makes my pseudoname useless. I don't know if it is possible to roll that back, but I would like to start deleting the images I posted of my myself that reveal my gender. Is there a mechanism for Wikipedia image deletion? Alexmov (talk) 21:52, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I may have to start using another male pseudo name, but I would prefer to avoid it. Many thanks. Alexmov (talk) 21:56, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Your problem is that you are disruptive and don't listen to other people -- that would be equally as problematic if you had a penis or a Y-chromosome. You have not uploaded any images of yourself (or of anything else) on Wikipedia so there is nothing here to delete.  --JBL (talk) 21:58, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * (Also "Alex" is most commonly a male name so uh ....) --JBL (talk) 21:59, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * This message was not addressed to you. Please stop trolling me. Alexmov (talk) 22:06, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

 * How do I find an admin? I am not looking to go through a public process. Are you an admin? Alexmov (talk) 22:46, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * How do I identify an admin? Are you an admin? Alexmov (talk) 22:52, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * No, I am not an admin, but finding one is not part of the process anyway. For help going through the file deletion process, post a new question at Help desk. Mgnbar (talk) 01:41, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Alexmov (talk) 03:57, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Why did you undo my tensor talk edit?
 * 1. Chatul responded to one of my messages in the middle of my post breaking up my message before the PS. Why don't you revert his post?
 * 2. Why did you not allow me to defend myself? Alexmov (talk) 17:00, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

 * My reasons are stated in the edit summaries. You are editing posts after others have responded to them. This has all been explained to you. Mgnbar (talk) 17:09, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Non-linear response.png
 * Wikipidia like Twitter seems to allow for interleaved non-linear replies. Chatul had entered multiple non-linear replies as well. Why don't you reverse those? He entered a response in the middle of one my posts after JBL already responded. Alexmov (talk) 17:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * If this is a huge problem, why don't you reverse that? Why am I not allowed to respond to it? Alexmov (talk) 17:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Are the rules just made for me? Alexmov (talk) 18:00, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Posting in the middle of someone else's post is frowned upon. I wish that Chatul hadn't done that. I don't know whether it's against the rules.
 * Have you seen Chatul (A) edit their own posted text, after another editor has already responded to it, or (B) edit someone else's posted text? I haven't. Mgnbar (talk) 04:47, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Here's a general principle, that might help you understand. When you sign your post with four tildes, it gets time-stamped, right? Well, that time stamp should be accurate. If you edit your post above the time stamp, or if you move the time stamp somewhere else, then you've violated the purpose of the time stamp. Mgnbar (talk) 04:56, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I do not spend time looking for behavioral posting issues, and I assume that Chatul is a reasonable person. However, responding in the middle of my text was glaring, and in my book that is editing someone's text.  This is not something that I would worry about too much, but that behavior got a pass while I was getting beat up for editing my own text for readability. I assumed that people editing the Tensor article are reasonable people that are trying to develop a clean document that has a logical consistency, but the interactions regarding the dimension/modes/order/ways edit were unexpected.
 * I provided references for my proposed changes which were met with an appeal to tradition fallacy (ie this is the way this article has been for 19 years), ad hominem attacks or long discussion on tangential topics intended to exhaust me. It is incumbent upon the person defending the status quo to provide references first.   When I directly asked for references, I was met with silence.
 * Repeated insults on talk pages, and competence called into question in the summary of an edit (Undid revision 1131982027 by Alexmov (talk) rv incompetence) is a lot. This is a prime example of why women do not edit Wikipedia. Alexmov (talk) 11:04, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Here is a list of a few active Wikipedia administrators who I was able to determine identify as female or some version of nonbinary with a modest amount of effort. Feel free to ask any of them for their input.  (Hopefully it goes without saying that if you reach out to a large number of them simultaneously it will be viewed as spamming, so please don't do that.)
 * The complete list of active administrators is List_of_administrators/Active, and the partial list above is not comprehensive in any way.

 * Please find someone else to troll. Alternatively, contact these admins and perhaps they can explain why your behavior continues to be problematic. Your "advice" is shifting responsibility for your bad behavior onto  me.  Alexmov (talk) 13:12, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Alexmov, there's a lot to unpack in your post, but there doesn't seem to be any point, as I've already explained here. Mgnbar (talk) 19:57, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Factual accuracy of your recent edit to Tensor
Hi. I saw your recent edit to Tensor. I am not sure that the factual accuracy of your sentence is correct. 96.227.223.203 (talk) 12:37, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

 * That surprises me, because (A) it builds off your recent edit, and (B) it merely summarizes one of the treatments given in the Definition section. What is your objection? (And if you want to have a discussion about this specific article, then it would be better done at Talk:Tensor.) Mgnbar (talk) 12:46, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I made a mistake in my original edit. I should have created a new paragraph, which I have now rectified. BTW the (1, 1) notation you added may very well be correct, but I have not reinstated it due to my shaky familiarity with the subject, and for that I do not want to be responsible for adding something of which I have not the knowledge. :) 96.227.223.203 (talk) 12:52, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It's a tensor of type (p, q), where p = 1 and q = 1. This is all explained in the article.
 * Tensors are "generalized matrices" only insofar as their coordinates form arrays. This is the relationship between the sentence that you added and my revision of it. So I do not view the current version as a rectification.
 * In general, it's good to do Be bold, but it's best to be bold after familiarizing oneself with the content already in the article. Regards, Mgnbar (talk) 21:43, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

 * By the way, it's possible that you are interested in Tensor (machine learning). You might also want to read the talk pages of these two articles, to see how much argumentation has gone into figuring out their relationship. Mgnbar (talk) 12:50, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Edit revert
Hi, I noticed that you reverted my edit on Andaman Islands. While the change to the infobox name was accidental, was there any issue with the image being changed to ? Given that I probably should have included an edit summary. ~ ՏԹՄՐ (✉ • ✎) 10:18, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Yes, an edit summary would have helped me understand your motivation. And yes, we all make typing errors. :)
 * Regarding the figure: Partly I reverted because it seemed that similar articles, such as Nicobar Islands, had standardized on a map style. But now I see that there is no standardization. In my opinion, your new map is not better or worse than the current one. So I don't plan to revert you again. But you might consider engaging with WikiProject Maps, where people discuss this sort of thing. Mgnbar (talk) 17:15, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Colorblindness edit
I am new to editing on Wikipedia. Sorry if I am not doing something correctly. I have a rare genetic vision condition called BCM (1 in 100,000 people have it). It is so rare that I did not get a diagnosis until I was 57 years old. Very few eye doctors have any experience with it which means they misdiagnose it. My edit is trying to help other people that do not know what they have to find out. BCM was already discussed in the colorblind article but is hard to find and has some inaccuracies. I wanted to add a sentence to the beginning paragraph to help others like myself figure out what they have as easy as possible without having to wade through the rest of the article. For someone who knows they are colorblind and that there vision is generally bad but don't know what their conditions is, and neither does their eye doctor, one of the first things they would do is go to Wikipedia and look up colorblindness. However, the bulk of the article is talking about typical color blindness issues and is not easy to go through and figure out that they have BCM. The sentence I added is no different than the previous sentence which points out that Achromatopsia (another rare eye disease) is the complete absence of color vision and lists the added symptoms. I just tried to add the same kind of sentence for BCM to help people like me figure out what they have. Dean402 (talk) 01:45, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi, Dean402. Because this conversation is specifically about the article Color blindness, we should hold this conversation at Talk:Color blindness, so that everyone interested can join in. In a few minutes, I will start a new section there. Mgnbar (talk) 01:55, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

The Border (1982 film)

The Border is a 1982 American neo-noir dramatic crime thriller film directed by Tony Richardson and starring Jack Nicholson alongside Harvey Keitel, Valerie Perrine, Elpidia Carrillo and Warren Oates.

Plot
Immigration enforcement agent Charlie Smith lives in California with his wife, Marcy, in a trailer. She persuades him to move to a duplex in El Paso, Texas shared by her friend and border agent Cat. Marcy longs for a life of luxury and sees a chance to do so with this move. She opens a charge account and starts to purchase expensive items (like a water bed) as she tries to build a dream home.

Cat gradually introduces Charlie to the human smuggling operation he runs with their supervisor Red. Though Charlie initially declines to participate, his wife's free-spending ways make him finally take part in the operation. Meanwhile, a young Mexican mother, Maria, that he has observed is detained, and while she is in their custody, one of Cat's drivers abducts her baby for an illegal adoption. Cat warns the driver not to do anything but transport people in trucks, and that if he runs drugs or babies, Cat will hurt him.

Charlie finally realizes that Cat and Red are killing drivers who make money off side ventures or anyone who gets in their way. Charlie makes it clear to Cat that he will not be a party to murder. In the film's climax, he is forced to kill Cat. He tracks down the kidnapped infant and returns it to Maria.

Production notes
The opening earthquake scenes were filmed in Antigua, specifically in La Recoleccion ruins, and Guatemala City.

Reception
Vincent Canby of The New York Times said the movie "has the sort of predictable outrage and shape of a made-for-television movie. It has suspense but little excitement. Once the people and the situation have been introduced, there's not a single surprise in the film, nothing of the uncharacteristic sort that differentiates the adequate melodrama from one that is special and memorable. Like so many films prompted by real-life social problems, The Border is a movie in which the characters appear to have been created to fit the events. Missing is any sense of particularity, as well as the excitement that comes when the members of the audience are allowed to discover some sort of truth for themselves."

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 65% from 26 reviews. The site's consensus states: "It makes frustratingly facile work of its thorny premise, but Jack Nicholson's gritty lead performance keeps The Border worth watching."

Benjamin Tyler Henry

Benjamin Tyler Henry (March 22, 1821 – June 8, 1898 ) was an American gunsmith and manufacturer. He was the inventor of the Henry rifle, the first reliable lever-action repeating rifle.

Henry was born in Claremont, New Hampshire, in 1821. He apprenticed to a gunsmith as a young man and worked his way up to shop foreman at the Robins & Lawrence Arms Company of Windsor, Vermont, where he worked with Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson on a rifle known as the "Volitional Repeater".

In 1854, Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson formed a new company with Courtlandt Palmer, and further improved the operating mechanism, developing the Smith & Wesson Lever pistol, and a new Volcanic cartridge. Production was in the shop of Horace Smith in Norwich, Connecticut. Originally using the name "Smith & Wesson Company", the name was changed to "Volcanic Repeating Arms Company" in 1855, with the addition of new investors, one of whom was Oliver Winchester. The Volcanic Repeating Arms Company obtained all rights for the Volcanic designs (both rifle and pistol versions were in production by this time) as well as the ammunition, from the Smith & Wesson Company. Wesson remained as plant manager for 8 months before rejoining Smith to found the "Smith & Wesson Revolver Company" upon obtaining the licensing of the Rollin White rear loading cylinder patent. Winchester forced the insolvency of the Volcanic Arms Company in late 1856, took over ownership and moved the plant to New Haven, Connecticut, where it was reorganized as the New Haven Arms Company in April 1857 and Henry was hired as plant superintendent. On October 16, 1860, he received a patent on the Henry .44 caliber repeating rifle, which soon proved the worth of the lever-action design on the battlefields of the American Civil War, where Henry rifles were used alongside muzzle-loading rifled muskets such as the Springfield Model 1861. The first Henry rifles were not produced for army use until mid-1862.

In 1864, Henry grew angry over what he believed was inadequate compensation and attempted to have the Connecticut legislature award ownership of New Haven Arms to him. Oliver Winchester, hastening back from Europe, forestalled the move and reorganized New Haven Arms yet again as the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Winchester had the basic design of the Henry rifle completely modified and improved to become the first Winchester rifle, the Model 1866, which fired the same .44 caliber rimfire cartridges as the Henry but had an improved magazine with the addition of a loading gate on the right side of the receiver (invented by Winchester employee Nelson King) and, for the first time, a wooden forearm.

Henry left the Winchester Repeating Arms Company over this dispute and worked as an individual gunsmith until his death in 1898.

Huang Tingjian

Huang Tingjian (1045, Jiangxi province, China–1105, Yizhou [now Yishan], Guangxi) was a Chinese calligrapher, painter, and poet of the Song dynasty. He is predominantly known as a calligrapher, and is also admired for his painting and poetry. He was one of the Four Masters of the Song Dynasty, and was a younger friend of Su Shi and influenced by his and his friends' practice of literati painting , calligraphy, and poetry; regarded as the founder of the Jiangxi school of poetry.

Early years in Jiangnan
Huang Tingjian was born into the prominent Huang clan and to a family of poets, which had established residence in Jiangnan, south of the Yangzi River, just across the river gorge from the main turmoils and troubles of the Five Dynasties period. Tingjian's great-great-grandfather had then and there established a great library, together with an educational system. Achievement of the jinshi degree was a common attainment for men of the Huang clan. Huang Tingjian's mother, Lady Li, was an accomplished painter of bamboo and player of the guqin. His father, Huang Shu (黃庶,1018-1058) received his jinshi in 1042, and introduced his son Huang Tingjian to the works of Du Fu and Han Yu, before dying when Tingjian was 13 years old, at which point Huang Tingjian left his hometown of Fenning (分寧,in modern Jiangxi).

With Uncle Li in Anhui
After his father's death, Huang Tingjian was sent to Anhui to be further brought up by his uncle, Li Chang (李常,1027-1090), who was also possessed of a large library.

Jinshi and early career
Huang Tingjian failed his jinshi in the Imperial examination, at his first attempt, in 1064, but was passed in 1067, when he was 22 years old. His first employment was in Song Shenzong's first year as emperor.

Tianjin earthquakes

In 1068-1069 a series of major earthquakes occurred southwest of modern Tianjin. The devastating human consequences were noted by Huang Tingjian. This was the occasion of his writing the poem "Lament for the Refugees" (流民嘆/流民歎, using the imagery of a giant tortoise moving mountains which it carried upon its back.

Teaching career
Huang Tingjian passed his teaching credential exam in 1072, and spent the next 7 years teaching at the Damingfu Imperial Academy in Hebei. Its location was in what is currently Daming County. Damingfu was then Northern Capital of the Song Chinese Empire, and not far from the militarily turbulent northern border with the rival Khitan Empire.

Fame and conviction for conspiracy against the emperor
In 1072, Li Chang, his maternal uncle, and Sun Jue his father-in-law had shown examples of Huang Tingjiang's works to the famous poet and New Policy opponent Su Shi (Dongpo). In 1078, Huang presented Su with a letter and two elaborate gushi-style poems, to which Su returned with two poems of his own, matching Huang's rhyme-scheme. Huang's fame was secured when Su Shi (Dongpo) heaped his praises upon him, and the two became close friends for life.

So far, it seems that Huang had managed to avoid entanglement in politics, and in fact his early career as an imperial teaching official seems to have been in part secured by the favor of Wang Anshi, upon reading a poem of Huang's, hinting at retiring from the boredom which he was experiencing at that point of his career. At the time, there were two major parties, a "reform" party (also known as the New Policies Group), led by Wang Anshi and a "conservative" party, which included such prominent officials as Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, and Su Shi. Under the imperial system the winning side was chosen by the emperor (or the emperor's regent in the case of his minority). Imperial disfavor could range from death to a stalled career.

As Emperor Shenzong increasingly favored Wang Anshi's New Policies, as they were known, their opponents suffered politically: this included exile for Su Shi, beginning in 1080, to Hangzhou (which was the time period when Su adopted the nickname of Dongpo). As Su's conviction was for writing in a defamatory way about the emperor and his government, anyone who had circulated his writings without reporting them (as Shen Kuo did), was likely to be found guilty of conspiracy. Both Huang Tingjian and his Uncle Li were convicted as co-conspirators and accordingly given considerable fines (20 catties of copper). Huang was also exiled, first to Jizhou Subprefecture (now Jizhou District, Jiangxi), then to Depingzhen, in Shandong. Like, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian was known for good governance: light with taxes and empathetic with the common folk over whom they were placed in charge. Among other deeds, Huang Tingjian failed to enforce the New Policy of government monopoly of salt production.

Yuanyou era
The Yuanyou (元祐, Yuányòu) era (1086–1093) was the first regnal period of the new emperor, Song Zhezong, and an important period in the life of Huang Tingjian. During the Yuanyou years, Zhezong was in his minority, and Empress Dowager Gao acted as regent. Empress Dowager Gao was not a New Policy enthusiast. Wang Anshi's party fell out of favor, and Wang Anshi himself was forced into retirement. Huang Tingjian and the other exiles were recalled from their places of banishment. Happy days were here again: now, Su, Huang, and the others could enjoy each other's company in person, and Huang was promoted, to sub-editor of the Academy of Scholarly Worthies and examining editor for the official records of former Emperor Shenzong's reign. Editing the official records of the previous emperor, in light of the factional politics which had ignited at that time and were still burning, would turn out to be a perilous undertaking for Huang Tingjian's future.

Death of his mother and exile
Huang Tingjian's mother died in 1091. Obligatory retirement for a period of mourning in the case of the death of either parent was then the custom, and Huang returned to the family cemetery in Fenning, Jiangnan, with the remains of his mother, his two wives that had died, and those of an aunt. While he was engaged in the three-year ritual mourning period, Empress Dowager Gao died, and Zhezong began to reign in fact as well as name. Zhezong favored the reformist party, and their remnant members returned with a vengeance: their opponents alive or dead were persecuted: Su Shi was demoted and exiled, Sima Guang and Lü Gongzhu's tombs were defaced, and Huang Tingjian was denounced by Cai Bian (Wang Anshi's son-in-law). Huang was convicted of sarcastically editing the official records of former Emperor Shenzong. Huang Tingjian spent the ensuing decade in exile, in various locations in Sichuan.

Pardon and exile, again

In the year 1100, Emperor Zhezong died young and unexpectedly, at 23 years old, and with his death came a new political alignment: the new emperor was Huizong, then in his late teenage years. Much of the power was in the hands of his older brother's wife, the former Empress Xiang. A general amnesty was declared between the two parties, the reformists and, the conservatives. By this time the anti-reformist conservatives were known as the "Yanyou Party". Cai Bian and his adherents were dismissed from office. Huang Tingjian found out he had been pardoned, later in the year of 1100. He was also granted a sinecure position in Ezhou city, in southeastern Hubei (responsible for collecting tax revenues on salt), which meant that he received a salary or other remuneration; but, as he was not required to live or work there, this was not exile. However, Huang Tingjian remained in Sichuan long enough to attend his son's marriage ceremony, to the daughter of a local official. In 1102, Huang Tingjian visited Fenning, after extensive travels and several illnesses. As the year 1102 progressed, the political pendulum again reversed itself: the Yuanyou officials were out of favor once more. A list of somewhat over 100 officials whom the emperor considered to be heterodox was erected on a stele at the capital: Huang Tingjian was one of those named. Huang had been the recipient of a major promotion, but was now dismissed summarily, just 9 days after his appointment. As the year 1102 waned, Huang Tingjian returned to Ezhou, and visited various other places including Wuchang. It was during this period that he wrote "Wind in the Pines Hall". Huang Tingjian awaited further developments at Ezhou, hearing no news about how the emperor intended to deal with his case, until the end of 1103. It was exile, again. This time to the far south, Yizhou (now in Guangxi). At the time, as now Yizhou, was a fairly small settlement composed of both ethnic Han people and Zhuang people. However, then it was only tenuously part of the Chinese Empire. Guangxi, then administered as Guangnanxi ("West Southern Expanse"), had only been annexed by the Song Dynasty in 971. And, as recently as 1052, the Zhuang leader Nong Zhigao had led a revolt, briefly making the area part of an independent kingdom. Sending the then 58-year-old, sick and frail Huang Tingjian to an official exile in this remote and precarious position was not far from a death sentence.

XiaoXiang poetry

Travel to his remote posting meant passing through the XiaoXiang: the classic poetic place of exile. Not that he was not already there, in Ezhou; but, now, Huang Tingjian was faced with traveling through the depths of it, only to emerge into an even more remote and difficult territory. He faced a fate similar to Su Shi Dongpo, who never quite made it back from his final exile in the then remote and undeveloped island of Hainan. The far southern lands were known as the "gates of hell", but when the emperor ordered one of his subjects there, there was little choice. Open resistance could be and often was met with the mass annihilation of ones entire family, and even whole clan. The main hope was a quick recall from exile. However, in Huang Tingjian's case, this never happened.

In early 1104, Huang Tingjian packed up his family and headed south, towards his place of banishment, Yizhou. That springtime, during the course of his journey, Huang Tingjian met the Chan monk Zhongren (also known as Huaguang, after the name of his monastery). Zhongren shared a scroll of poems by Su Shi, Su Shi's brother Su Che, the monk Shenliao, and Qin Guan (another one of the Yuanyou crew): and, both Su Shi and Qin Guan had died as a result of their exiles in the south, the journey which Huang Tingjian was now upon.

The two became friends: Zhongren painted branches of flowering plum blossoms and landscapes for Huang, Huang wrote poems in his inimitable calligraphy for Zhongren, even appending a poem with praise of Zhongren to the end of his precious scroll of poems. Together the two helped to change the art world forever: establishing monochrome painting of plums among the scholar-official class.

Death

Parting ways with his friend Zhongren, Huang Tingjian headed onward towards his destined place of banishment, Yizhou. Emperor Huizong had ordered him there, and so, leaving his family in the mountains of Yongzhou (Hunan), in order to "spare them from the intense heat", Huang Tingjian traveled on to his destination without them.

Once there, he continued his calligraphy, of which an ink rubbing survives, a rather pointed quote about the life of Fan Pang (137-169), who was arrested and executed due to getting caught up in factional politics, during the second of the Disasters of Partisan Prohibitions which occurred during the Han dynastic era.

In the early Winter of 1105, Huang Tingjian died, alone from his family, in exile, in Yizhou.

His funeral was arranged by a stranger, who had traveled to Yizhou, hoping to make his acquaintance.

Health
Huang Tingjian's health was poor throughout his life. His health problems included "beriberi, severe coughs and colds, malarial fever, headaches, dizziness, and in his later years, heart trouble and chest and arm pains." Huang Tingjian also had a deep interest in medicinal substances, and at one point seriously mulled over the idea of giving up his aspirations for an official career, in favor of opening up a shop and dealing in herbs and herbal medications.

Family
Huang Tingjian had 3 wives during his life, and one son, to the third. His first wife was the daughter of the scholar, Sun Jue (1028-1090). She died in 1070. His second wife, from the Xie clan, had a daughter to him, before her death, in Damingfu, in 1079. His third wife gave birth to his only son, whom he gave the unusual name of "Forty", because he was 40 years old when the boy was born.

Religion
Huang Tingjian had a strong lifelong interest in Buddhism and Daoism. In his hometown of Fenning were 10 monasteries of the Chan practice ("Chan" is Chinese for Zen); indeed, Jiangnan had hundreds of them. The year after his second wife died, Huang retreated to the Shan'gu (Mountain Valley) Daoist monastery in Anhui, and took the religious name Shan'gu Daoren.

Works

Huang Tingjian is noted for his prodigious talent in terms of his vast knowledge of Classical Chinese poetry and literature. He is famous both for the calligraphy and the poetry of his work "Wind in the Pines Hall", which survives in the Palace Museum, Taipei.

Calligraphy
Huang is also regarded as a particularly fine and creative calligrapher of the Song Dynasty. His xingshu (semi-cursive style of script) displays a sharpness and aggression that is instantly recognizable to students of Chinese calligraphy. His calligraphic piece Biographies of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru epitomises a technique today known as "flying-white" "when writing calligraphy, the areas within a brushstroke where the brush fails to leave a full measure of ink and streaks of white paper or silk appear".

Poetry
Huang Tingjian is considered to be the founder of the Jiangxi school of poetry.

Koppang

is a village in Stor-Elvdal Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The village is located along the river Glomma in the Østerdalen valley. The Rørosbanen railway and the Norwegian National Road 3 both run through the village. The railway stops at Koppang Station. The village has several schools, shops, and a cultural center as well as a movie theater, library, bookstore, bank, and Koppang Church. The newspaper Østerdølen has been published in Koppang since 1999.

The settlement has a large modern sawmill that employs many residents. There are many opportunities for fitness trips in the area whether by skiing, riding or on foot. The 2.02 km2 village has a population (2021) of 1,101 and a population density of 546 PD/km2.

History
From ancient times, people lived in the valley, but repeated flooding caused them to move higher up along its sides. Barns remain at Koppanjordet which have survived many floods. The Old King's Road (Gamle Kongevei) which went from Oslo to Trondheim runs through Koppang. It was used not only by the king and his entourage but also by pilgrims on their way to the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.

The name comes from the medieval word kaupang which refers to the site of a market place which had been held here since the Middle Ages. From early on, the settlement had an old stave church (Stor-Elvdal Church) at Koppanjordet, traces of which still remain. According to legend, the church was destroyed by a flood and the logs washed ashore in the shape of a cross at Kirkemoen. A new stave church was built on the site, dedicated to Saint Michael.

The Røros Line reached Koppang in 1875, the village being served by Koppang Station. From 1877 to 1885, the trains on the line had an overnight stop at Koppang, leading to increased commerce and an expansion of the settlement.

WIPB

WIPB, virtual channel 49 (UHF digital channel 19), is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member television station licensed to Muncie, Indiana, United States. Owned by Ball State University, it is a sister station to National Public Radio (NPR) member WBST (92.1 FM). The two stations share studios at the E. F. Ball Communication Building on the university's campus in northwestern Muncie; WIPB's transmitter is located on County Road 50 in rural southern Delaware County (south of Cowan).

UHF channel 49 in Central Indiana
The UHF channel 49 allocation in Central Indiana was originally occupied by WLBC-TV, which signed on the air on June 14, 1953, as a primary CBS affiliate with secondary affiliations with ABC, NBC and DuMont. The station was founded by Don Burton, owner of Muncie radio station WLBC (1340 AM, now WMUN). During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network. WLBC-TV dropped CBS programming in the early 1960s, becoming a primary NBC and secondary ABC affiliate. Burton expanded the WLBC radio facility on 29th Street in southeast Muncie and constructed a 500 ft tower outside the building.

Although WLBC served as the NBC and ABC affiliates of record for the Muncie area in the 1960s, the city and surrounding areas received at least Grade B signal coverage from television stations out of Indianapolis, located about 60 mi southwest of Muncie—including NBC affiliate WFBM-TV (channel 6, now ABC affiliate WRTV), and ABC affiliate WLWI-TV (channel 13, now NBC affiliate WTHR)—as well as stations from Dayton, about 80 mi to the east, and Fort Wayne, roughly 75 mi to the north. To make matters worse, WLBC-TV was hampered by low viewership as only a small percentage of Central Indiana area television sets were even capable of receiving UHF stations since set manufacturers were not required to equip televisions with UHF tuners until the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed the All-Channel Receiver Act in 1961; even then, UHF tuners were not included on all newer sets until 1964 and the retail prices for standalone UHF tuners at the time were high. The station eventually started a news department in the 1960s.

WIPB station history
Burton sold the UHF channel 49 license in 1971 to Eastern Indiana Community Television, a local ad hoc nonprofit group led by Gretchen Huff and Sunny Spurgeon, which had been working to apply for a license to operate an educational television station in Muncie. The group converted it into a non-commercial educational license, and changed the station's call letters to WIPB (for "Indiana Public Broadcasting"). Eastern Indiana Community Television subsequently sold the license to Ball State University, which signed on the station on the afternoon of October 31, 1971, as a PBS member station; as part of PBS' Program Differentiation Plan, the network's programming was divided between it and two other PBS members in the Indianapolis market—WFYI (channel 20) and Bloomington-based WTIU (channel 30); they were joined in 1992 by WTBU in Indianapolis (channel 69, now Daystar owned-and-operated religious station WDTI). WIPB, as a non-commercial outlet, briefly operated a news department during the 1980s, producing a daily newscast titled On-Line 49.

On November 1, 2020, WIPB rebranded as Ball State PBS.

Programming
WIPB's claim to fame is having been the station that The Joy of Painting, a half-hour art program hosted by Bob Ross, originated from (except for its first season, which was recorded at WNVC in Falls Church, Virginia) from mid-1983 to 1994. The station also produces Connections Live!, a half-hour weekly magazine program that focuses on the people and places of interest in Central Indiana that connect people to their communities; the program has won four Regional Emmy Awards since 2002.

Trivia
The jingle heard in WIPB's station identifications from the late 1980s was "Logo #7", a stock track composed by Vic Sepanski for the Omnimusic library. It was also utilized by WPSU-TV (then WPSX) around the same time period. As an example, this ID can be found on older recordings of The Joy of Painting.

Subchannels
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:

Analog-to-digital conversion
WIPB began broadcasting a digital signal on October 31, 2005. The station shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 49, on February 18, 2009, the day after the original target date for full-power television stations in the United States to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which Congress had moved the previous month to June 12). The station's digital signal continued to broadcast on its pre-transition UHF channel 23. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 49.

Following the transition, WIPB decommissioned its original East 29th Street tower that formerly occupied its analog transmitter, which was dismantled in January 2013; its digital signal operates from a separate 800 ft tower located to its south.

David Eccles (businessman)

David Eccles Sr (May 12, 1849 – December 6, 1912) was an American businessman and industrialist who founded many businesses throughout the western United States and became Utah's first multimillionaire.

Biography
Eccles was born in Paisley, Scotland, to William and Sarah Hutchinson Eccles. In 1863 his family moved from Glasgow to the United States of America, sailing on the Cynosure and eventually settling in Ogden Valley, located in eastern Weber County, Utah. The move was made because of their joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their desire to be near the body of the church. He lived in both Eden and Liberty, Utah.

After struggling to make a living, the family moved to Oregon City, Oregon. There they worked in a new mill. He worked for the mill for a year, then for a lumber corporation, and the Oregon and California Railroad. The family moved back to Ogden, Utah, in 1869 after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad hoping it would bring them work.

In the Ogden area, he worked cutting wood and building homes. He worked as a freighter and for the Union Pacific coal mines. He also worked at a sawmill at Monte Cristo east of Ogden.

In 1874, he attended Louis F. Moench's school in Ogden. It was there he met Bertha Marie Jensen and married her in 1875. They had 12 children from this marriage.

While he had been working he saved up a considerable amount of money and put it to other uses. He started the Eccles Lumber Company and several other enterprises. Through supplying ties for railroads, he knew the local circumstances of where the railroads were building and the opportunities available. He opened lumber mills, shingle mills, planing mills, an electric plant, and other entities. He followed the railroads and opened mills in other locations in Oregon and Washington states. He and his associates built the Sumpter Valley and Mount Hood railroads. It was through these and other railroads that Eccles shipped the lumber and other goods to Utah.

Eccles met Ellen Stoddard, the daughter of his partner, John Stoddard. Under the practice of polygamy at the time, David married Ellen, and they made their home in Logan, Utah where he built a lavish yellow brick mansion for his new bride using lumber imported from his corporation in Oregon. (The home is on West Center Street.) Marriner Stoddard Eccles and George S. Eccles are children of this marriage.

A hard worker, Eccles was reported to have traveled over 44000 mi in 1904. While friends encouraged him to slow down, he preferred to "die in the harness." One of his hallmarks was integrity and self-reliance. His companies prospered on his no-debt plan and view of achieving success rather than money.

David always put his children to work early in life. They worked along with the crews on the railroads, mills, and lumber yards. They were taught as many aspects of the businesses as they were willing to learn. Several served missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His children graduated from University of Michigan Law School, Columbia University, Brigham Young College, Utah State University, and University of Utah.

With the estimated $4-7 million he made, mostly from his Oregon enterprises, he invested heavily in Utah. He purchased stock in banks, canneries, insurance companies, railroads, factories, mills, mines, and various other companies. The Utah Construction Company built over 700 mi of track for the Western Pacific Railroad and led the Six Companies in constructing the Hoover Dam. David Eccles served as the second president of Utah Construction Company after the death of long-term associate Thomas Dee. He also served as founder of a number of companies, one of which was the Amalgamated Sugar Company.

Eccles served on the Ogden City Council and as their mayor from 1888 to 1890. He was known for his aid to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for lending large amounts of money to it at no interest. At the time of his death, he was the president of 16 industrial corporations and 7 banks. He also was serving as a director in 24 other banks and industries. He is Utah's first multimillionaire.

While running to catch the evening train from Salt Lake City to Ogden, Utah, he died of a heart attack in Salt Lake City on December 6, 1912, at the age of 63.

There are a host of organizations named after Eccles and his descendants. The David Eccles School of Business is at the University of Utah. The David Eccles Conference Center is in downtown Ogden, Utah

Zebra (medicine)

Zebra is the American medical slang for a surprising, often exotic, medical diagnosis, especially when a more commonplace explanation is more likely. It is shorthand for the aphorism coined in the late 1940s by Theodore Woodward, professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, who instructed his medical interns: "When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don't expect to see a zebra." (Since zebras are much rarer than horses in the United States, the sound of hoofbeats would almost certainly be from a horse.) By 1960, the aphorism was widely known in medical circles. The saying is a warning against the statistical base rate fallacy where the likelihood of something like a disease among the population is not taken into consideration for an individual.

Medical novices are predisposed to make rare diagnoses because of (a) the availability heuristic ("events more easily remembered are judged more probable") and (b) the phenomenon first enunciated in Rhetorica ad Herennium (c. 85 BC), "the striking and the novel stay longer in the mind." Thus, the aphorism is an important caution against these biases when teaching medical students to weigh medical evidence.

Diagnosticians have noted, however, that "zebra"-type diagnoses must nonetheless be held in mind until the evidence conclusively rules them out: "In making the diagnosis of the cause of illness in an individual case, calculations of probability have no meaning. The pertinent question is whether the disease is present or not. Whether it is rare or common does not change the odds in a single patient.[...] If the diagnosis can be made on the basis of specific criteria, then these criteria are either fulfilled or not fulfilled."

Comparable slang for an obscure and rare diagnosis in medicine is fascinoma.

Examples
Necrotic skin lesions in the United States are often diagnosed as loxoscelism (recluse spider bites), even in areas where Loxosceles species are rare or not present. This is a matter of concern because such misdiagnoses can delay correct diagnosis and treatment.

Usage
Ehlers–Danlos syndrome is considered a rare condition and those with it are known as medical zebras. The zebra was adopted across the world as the EDS mascot to bring the patient community together and raise awareness.

North Mesquite High School

North Mesquite High School is a secondary school in Mesquite, Texas and a part of the Mesquite Independent School District (MISD). As of 2023, the school serves northern portions of Mesquite bounded by US 80 to the south and I-635 to the east in addition to the area bounded by Galloway Avenue, I-635, and I-30. Formerly, North Mesquite served all of Sunnyvale before the completion of Sunnyvale High School, leaving the class of 2010 the last North Mesquite class catering to Sunnyvale students. North Mesquite also formerly served the MISD portion of Garland before redistricting. This area is now served by Poteet High School.

North Mesquite serves grades 9 through 12. The total enrollment in 2002 was 2450; the school is therefore under the UIL AAAAAA (or 6A) division. According to the MISD Report Card, the per student expenditure for the same 2002 period was 2700 USD. The stallion is the school mascot and the school colors are blue and white. The school's motto is Animus Omnia Vincit, which translates from the Latin as "Courage Conquers All."

History
North Mesquite High School opened in September 1969 as the second high school in Mesquite ISD, behind Mesquite High School, the school's rival in athletic competitions. The original construction consisted of four floors: A, B, C, and D. Over several decades, the enrollment expanded in accordance with the population swell that took place in Mesquite and Sunnyvale, demanding supplementary facilities. In the 1990s, a new gym was constructed. F wing and E section opened for the 2002-2003 school year providing twenty new general classrooms as well as a new Band, Orchestra, and Choir hall. During the 2008-2009 school year construction on S wing (Science wing) began, and opened for the 2009-2010 school year providing 8 Labs and 16 science classrooms. With the science wing being added, the existing rooms on A floor were renovated and added new classrooms. The front of the school was renovated; a new entrance was created, and the business office was enlarged and renovated. The cafeteria was enlarged and snack lines were added. In September 2018 a statue of the school’s mascot, a Stallion, was placed inside the building right at the entrance.

Areas served by North Mesquite
North Mesquite serves northern portions of the city of Mesquite.

Formerly, the school also served all high school students living in Sunnyvale. However, in an election on May 12, 2007, Sunnyvale residents passed a bond creating Sunnyvale High School. From the 2007-2008 school year, ninth grade students in Sunnyvale were housed in Sunnyvale Middle School for two years, until the construction of the high school was complete. Beginning in the 2009-2010 school year, students attended classes at the actual SHS campus. One grade was added consecutively to the high school, making the class of 2010 the last North Mesquite class that catered to Sunnyvale students. Thomas Korosec of D Magazine implied that changing racial demographics at North Mesquite may have motivated the Sunnyvale district to build its own high school.

Demographics
By the 2010s, most of the students were Hispanic/Latino and African-American with 11% being other.

Standardized dress code
All students in North Mesquite are required to dress according to a standardized dress code (similar to a school uniform) as of 2005; the code is used in all Mesquite ISD middle schools, high schools, and some Elementary schools in the district

Feeder patterns
Mesquite ISD elementary schools that feed into North Mesquite include all of Florence, Lawrence, McKenzie, Motley, Range, Rugel, Shands, and Tosch. Price Elementary used to be a part of the feeder pattern for NMHS, but that was changed in 2017 for student benefit.

Part of McDonald Middle School and all of Vanston Middle School in Mesquite ISD feed into North Mesquite. (The other alumni of McDonald fed into West Mesquite High School until they were redirected to Frasier Middle School)

Rivalry
North Mesquite's rival is Mesquite High School. The rivalry dates back to when North Mesquite was founded in 1969. The school was the first to split from Mesquite High, which was then the only high school in the city, and thus the rivalry started.

Big Blue Band
The North Mesquite Band, known as the Big Blue Band, was started with the opening of the school in 1969.

Confusing senseless sentence
The sentence This is made impossible by all other services impossible. doesn't make any sense and is very confusing. I have not removed it because it probably serves some purpose, but I do wonder what was meant by it. The sentence should either be removed or written in a way that makes sense. Michael%Sappir 13:51, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Controversy
I did a google search on "gumtree .tk" and "gumtree .tk spam" and I don't see any relevant results on the first page save this wikipedia article. I hope that should someone fail to include a cite for those statements they will be deleted as they are quite unencyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thane Eichenauer (talk • contribs) 20:48, 10 February 2008 (UTC) ♦

Is there an easy way to block the entire .tk domain?
My virus program finds a lot of malware from the .tk domain, and they still won't take down paid for domains that are known malware vendors. I'd like to just block the whole thing.

I tried .tk in my hosts file but that didn't work, and it doesn't take wildcards like *.tk

Oh, the malware was at www2.megosave2.tk and about a dozen other variants.

See http://hphosts.blogspot.com/2010/05/eset-star-wars-dottk-and-rogues.html

Tokelau has yet to take it down. Maybe next year after two million more exploit-affected machines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.16.163.163 (talk) 21:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Just use my PAC filter at securemecca.com which has a built in block of the entire TK domain. Ignore my other comments. The TK domain people have quite a chore in keeping hacker abuse at bay and that is what they were doing. They have to periodically or constantly depending on your point of view come up with a new scheme to fight the hackers. It takes us malware blockers a little bit of time to figure it out some times. If your redirect doesn't go to malware then you should not be getting what you think is scammed. Their TOS explicitly states you can not use it for spam or redirects to malware. hhhobbit (talk) 07:25, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Uses frames for short urls
Dot tk uses frames for short urls and changes both the favicon and title of the site linked to. This promotes their site further and prevents short urls from being used on mobile sites even tho the site linked to might be a legit mobile site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by InSyda (talk • contribs) 22:17, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Today .tk just de-registered my free domain from my profile, and put it out for sale as a paid domain, without any warning. I suppose they did it because I had increased the link value of "my" domain beyond a certain threshold over the past years. So it seems I've been doing voluntary work for them for many years, without even realizing it. I know about WP's NOR policy, so I'm not going to add anything to the article, but they certainly seem to behave like scammers.

The new Terms and Conditions document states, in 10.1. Minimum Use Requirements, "As of March 1st 2012, no minimum use requirements are enforced. As long as you renew your FREE DOMAIN in a timely manner, you may continue to use the FREE DOMAIN."

Incorrect percentage?`
Under the "Abuse" section, the following is written: ".tk domains logged 2533 of 11768 (~4.65%) total phishing attacks in the latter half of 2010 Internet-wide."

Unless I'm mistaken or there's missing information, 2533 of 11768 is around 21%. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.181.159 (talk) 00:00, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Domain limit
There's no three domain limit. For example I have seven domains registered on dot.tk (and, yes, none of them are for spamming). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.1.95.232 (talk) 20:01, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 7 September 2013
Please, remove "In order to ensure that names are being used, there is a minimum usage policy of 25 hits in 90 days" as this rule was removed on early 2012 by http://wiki.tk/25-unique-visitor-requirement-explained.

The only requirement on dot.tk is that the domain have a active website (http://www.dot.tk/en/dottk_pressrelease_12272011_en.pdf, first page, first paragraph of the "Safest domain extension" section).

Also remove "up to three domain names free of charge" because current Terms and Conditions (http://www.dot.tk/en/doc_tcfree_v360.pdf, on "Introduction", 5th line) say: "You have registered with us to receive from one (1) to an unlimited number of FREE internet domain names"

Also users can access their Domain Panel (http://my.dot.tk/cgi-bin/domainpanel.taloha) that says (sadly it requires a account): "Dot TK allows you to register an unlimited number of FREE domains and an unlimited number of PAID domain names."

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Please fix "beforehand" usage
Could an established editor please fix the usage in the following opening sentence:

"...no beforehand warning is given."

Probably the preferred fix would be to use "advance" ( not "advanced", of course!) instead of "beforehand":

"...no advance warning is given."

Alternatively, "beforehand" should simply be moved after the verb:

"...no warning is given beforehand."

Service between Rome and Utica.
I'm a little confused about the inclusion of "Also Utica and Rome can, for the first time, be connected by public transit." comment located in the Centro of Oneida subsection of this article.

I've heard this comment in documentation regarding the creation of the Centro of Oneida subsidiary, but haven't seen mentions of the service actually existing on their website.

Any comments on how this should read (by correction or leave as is)?
