Khalil Sakakini

Khalil Sakakini (خليل السكاكيني; 23 January 1878 – 13 August 1953) was a Palestinian teacher, scholar, poet, and Arab nationalist.

Biography
Sakakini was born into a Palestinian Christian Orthodox family in Jerusalem in the Ottoman Empire on 23 January 1878. His younger sister Melia Sakakini was born in 1890. He received his schooling in Jerusalem at the Greek Orthodox school, at the Anglican Christian Mission Society (CMS) College founded by Bishop Blyth, and at the Zion English College where he read Literature.

Later, Sakakini traveled to the United Kingdom and from there to the United States to join his brother Yusif, an itinerant salesman living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During his nine-month stay in America, Khalil Sakakini wrote for Arabic literary magazines on the East Coast, and did translations for Professor Richard Gottheil at Columbia University. He supported himself by teaching Arabic and working in a factory in Maine; he also worked as a street vendor. Upon his return in 1908, Khalil Sakakini worked as a journalist for the Jerusalem-printed magazine Al-Asma'i and taught Arabic at the Salahiyya school and tutored expatriates at the American Colony. He also contributed to Al Nafais Al Asriyyah, a literary magazine based in Jerusalem. Sari followed Wadie Tarazi (Gaza Christian that attended Friends School of Ramallah) to Haverford College and was a freshman in 1932 but seems to have dropped out or transferred as is mentioned in Haverford's 1936 Yearbook.

Sakakini's wife, Sultana, died in October 1939 and was buried in the Greek Orthodox cemetery on Mount Zion. He wrote poems eulogizing her. His son, Sari, completed his Master's degree at the University of Michigan and returned to Jerusalem, to work for the American consulate. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the Sakakinis were one of the last families to leave the Katamon neighborhood. A few days before the city was divided, the Sakakini family fled to Cairo, Egypt. There, Khalil Sakakini was nominated by the Egyptian writer Taha Hussein to join the Arabic Language Academy.

Sari Sakakini's sudden death of a heart attack in 1953 at the age of 39 was a devastating blow. Khalil Sakakini died three months later, on 13 August 1953. Sakakini's two daughters, Dumya and Hala, lived together in Ramallah until their deaths, in 2002 and 2003, respectively. The two sisters had careers in education. Hala Sakakini edited her father's journals, published in 1955, and wrote two memoirs in English, Jerusalem and I and Twosome.

Pedagogic career
In 1909, Khalil Sakakini founded the Dusturiyyah school or National School, which became known for its Arab nationalist approach. Sakakini pioneered a progressive education system: no grades, prizes or punishments for the students, and emphasis being placed on music, education and athletics. He also introduced new methods of teaching Arabic, and made it the primary language of instruction instead of Turkish.

Wasif Jawhariyyeh, noted for his memoirs of early 20th century Jerusalem, was a pupil of his in the Dusturiyyah School. He praised Sakakini's education style. "Mr. Sakakini taught us Arabic in a way that was very popular with the students. He used a method which, to my knowledge, few teachers in the East liked to use. He did not make students memorize rules of grammar like most teachers used to do ... His lessons included anecdotes which the students of this great educator received with eagerness and excitement. For with him they were able to understand what it took them long hours to grasp with other teachers. He instilled in them patriotism and manliness. ...

Having chosen to name his school the “Dusturiyyeh,” or National, School, Sakakini was the first to ban corporal punishment in education, and this wise stance spread to other schools. Whenever he noticed the slightest inappropriate conduct on the part of a student, particularly on the moral level, not withstanding his fatherly love for the pupil in question, he went berserk and pulled on an angry face, frightening the student who had the utmost respect and esteem for him and who would then amend his behavior immediately."

- Wasif Jawhariyyeh

Sakakini led a movement to reform and change into a more Arab approach to what he considered to be a corrupt Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, and wrote a pamphlet in 1913 titled "The Orthodox Renaissance in Palestine", which led to his excommunication from the Greek Orthodox Church. Ottoman authorities arrested him on the last day of Ottoman Rule in Jerusalem in 1917, after he had sheltered a Polish-American Jew and fellow citizen of Jerusalem, Alter Levine. Both were sent to a prison in Damascus, Syria. Levine became an enemy when the United States joined the Allies of World War I. Even so, Levine and  Sakakini became close friends during their incarceration. He was visited in prison by his wife and his sister Melia. Upon his release, Sakakini boarded for a brief time with Musa Alami, a former pupil, and then joined the Arab Revolt, for which he composed its anthem.

In 1919, Khalil Sakakini and his wife began to work for the Educational Authority of Palestine in Jerusalem, and Sakakini was appointed head of the Jerusalem Teachers’ College. He later became Inspector for Education in Palestine, a post he held for 12 years, until his resignation in protest of the appointment of a Jew as High Commissioner of the Palestine Mandate, Herbert Samuel. After working as a school principal in Cairo, he returned to Palestine in 1926 and became a school inspector. At the same time, he wrote political commentaries for the newspapers al-Muqtataf, al-Hilal and al-Siyassa al-Usbu'iyya, composed patriotic poems, and spoke at political rallies. In 1925, he founded the Wataniyya school, and in 1938 the Nahda College in Jerusalem. In May 1934, Sakakini built a home in the Katamon neighborhood which was completed in three years. In 1932, he sent his son Sari to Haverford College, Pennsylvania.

Views and opinions
Throughout his life Khalil Sakakini embraced European culture. Having a Greek grandmother led to an interest in Greek music and Greek philosophy. He even nicknamed himself "Socrates".

Sakakini expressed humanistic ideas and had a business card made out to read "Khalil Sakakini: human being, God willing." At the same time, he defined himself first and foremost as an Arab and was an "ardent" Arab nationalist hailed by some as one of the founding fathers of Arab nationalism of the region. He was an advocate of Pan-Arabism and envisaged Palestine united with "Greater Syria" (present-day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine). He saw Zionism as a great threat before the First World War and believed that the Jewish right to the land had expired while the Arab right was "a living one".

Sakakini, listing some of the punishments to be meted out: bomb and shoot the British and Jewish invaders, torch Jewish fields and orange groves, ambush routine traffic, block roads, derail trains, cut power lines. He continued: "The battle in Palestine is in full force... Victory is in the hands of God... If we live, we shall live with honor. If we die - we shall die with honor.

During the 1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine, Sakakini applauded the Arab attacks on Jews, but worried that the violence looked bad in the eyes of the public because 'the Jews controlled the newspapers and radio'. Therefore, Sakakini had to conclude, that 'the sword was mightier than the book'. For a grenade attack on a Jewish civilian train, he praised the "heroes" responsible. After the attack on Jerusalem's Edison cinema that left three dead, he wrote:

"There is no other heroism like this, except the heroism of Sheikh al-Qassam".

"I feel the pain of the troubles, whether they fall on Arabs or on the English or on the Jews. For that reason you will sometimes find me on the side of the Arabs, at others times on the side of the English, and still other times on the side of the Jews. And if there were animals who suffered from even a faint whiff of these troubles, I would sometimes be on the side of the animals.  Khalil Sakakini also came to believe that Nazi Germany might weaken the British and 'liberate Palestine from the Jew', and therefore supported the Nazis. He wrote that Adolf Hitler had opened the World's eyes to Jewish world power, and that Germany had stood up to the Jews and put them in their place, much like Mussolini had done with the British.

Sakakini vehemently opposed allowing Holocaust survivors into Palestine, arguing that a human problem needed to be solved by all humanity. While saddened by events such as the Struma disaster, he felt that the passengers were in fact invaders. An independent Palestinian Arab government should have used force to prevent them from landing, and he felt that while elderly Jews could come to live out their last years as had happened in the past, a thriving Jewish community under British protection should be forbidden. Sakakini believed that the Holocaust was being exploited parasitically by Jews demanding a homeland in Palestine, who he said would throw the Arabs out as soon as they got their homeland. Due to the Jewish influence in the United States, he believed that their right to vote in that country should be revoked.

Sakakini was a lifelong advocate of social reform. He tried to inculcate principles of students' liberation, sex education, socialist and other progressive ideas, and believed in free mingling of the sexes.

Legacy
Sakakini's published work includes educational treatises, poetry collections, literary, philosophical and political essays, and his diaries. A street and a school in Jerusalem are named after him, the Jezzar Pasha Mosque's library in Acre, Israel, as well as a street in Cairo. His publications are now at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is buried in the Mar Gerges Cemetery in Cairo.

In 2001, the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center successfully petitioned the municipality of Ramallah to rename the main thoroughfare nearest the center after Sakakini. That same year, the center began editing and publishing the diaries of Sakakini, which he kept from 1907 to 1952. The first volume of the projected eight volumes was published in 2003. In 2003 too, Sakakini's heirs bequeathed the center his collection of publications, books, and personal effects. These are on display in the foyer of the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center.

Calfee Park

Calfee Park is a stadium in Pulaski, Virginia, United States. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home ballpark of the Pulaski River Turtles in the Appalachian League, a summer collegiate baseball league. It was built in 1935 as a Works Progress Administration project, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Calfee Park was named after the mayor of Pulaski in 1935, Ernest W. Calfee. It holds approximately 3,200 people. Calfee Park is owned and operated by David Hagan and Larry Shelor, owners of Shelor Motor Mile. Calfee Park was voted the best rookie-level ballpark in America in 2019 and 2020 by a fan vote in Ballpark Digest's annual Best of the Ballparks competition.

The park is set off of U.S. Route 11 in a valley within a residential neighborhood. As a result, a number of houses that surround the park have good views of games. The park had major renovations prior to the 1999 season, with a new grandstand behind the plate and along the first-base side as well as “open-air suites” (railed-in areas with picnic tables) farther down on the first-base line. A new scoreboard was also installed.

After the Shelor ownership group purchased Calfee Park from the Town of Pulaski in 2015, over $9 million in renovations were made to the historic park. The park has received a new press box and VIP towers, renovated home clubhouse, new visiting clubhouse, a jumbotron, 18 additional outdoor suites, new concession stand, upgraded souvenirs, additional general admission seating, upgraded padded club seating, renovated ticket offices, and several additional parking lots. Additional renovations since the 2015 season have included a picnic pavilion, three-tiered party deck in left field, and walk-in retail store.

Renovations

 * Opened in 1935
 * In 1999 the area behind homeplate was renovated, adding individual seats that are sold as reserved seats. There was a fairly large grandstand added to the first base side stretching from homeplate to first base. "open air suites" stretch down the first base line right along the field, past the dugout there is a deck that is sectioned off and used as box seating. There are 13 boxes stretching down the right side of the field. There was a new Concession stand and home clubhouse added in as well.
 * In 2009, the town added a 14th box behind homeplate and above the general admission seating. The box looks directly down the first base line. Views of left field are somewhat obstructed when in the "sky box" because of the roof above the old grandstands. Earlier in 2009 there was a new indoor facility constructed on site. It showcases two hitting tunnels that can also be used for pitching work.
 * The New York Yankees and the new owners of the Park announced on Sept. 9, 2014 the plan for over $3.5 million of improvements to the park for the 2015 season. The Yankees replaced the Mariners in Pulaski for 2015.
 * In July 2018, the Pulaski Yankees announced upcoming renovations to include the addition of approximately 675 seats and a new upper concourse along the third baseline featuring a new concession stand, additional restrooms, and a rooftop "party deck" area. The renovations will bring the main concourse sections to the same level with the new concourse providing access from one end of the park to the other.
 * Prior to the 2019 season, the Pulaski Yankees added a new concourse along the third-base line, a three-tiered party deck in left field, and a walk-in retail store. The party deck was named the Best Ballpark Improvement (under $1 million) by Ballpark Digest.

Oppose
 * 1) Oppose. Redux has shown too much undesirable traits to be trusted with any power over others. I remind that he has not even promised anything about refraining from admin actions on behalf of "his friends". His own admissions already say much about his past behavior - and there has been no apologies from him to persons he insulted or abused then. Redux has sometimes, but however repeatedly, made personal attacks and used abusive foul language. And Redux has repeatedly made accusations of sockpuppetry when he must have understood that there were no more than one username in use (he then tried to fabricate an allegation of another username, baselessly). Redux has shown himself a possessive nature - one of the examples is him putting a WIP tag into an article, keeping it days (also continued when reminded that the tag is intended for only 30-180 minutes, not longer), and reversed a valid edit by another, when such had been made over half a day after Redux' installation of WIP tag. Redux has even shown some paranoia and certain querulous nature. (Wonder if anyone would really give him admin powers here, after all such behavior.) Arrigo 22:35, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Here since July 6, offensive comments like, hmmm ... Perhaps your vote should be treated as badge of honor for Redux. Pavel Vozenilek 22:12, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Well Pavel, if you want to support Redux who has shown himself to be a supporter of that continuous cut-and-paste mover Antares... Cut-and-paste moves are not accepted here (and after so many repeated cut-and-paste moves by Antares, certainly deserving clear words, as more lenient wording somehow has not got understood), or are you making changes to that principle? Arrigo 09:16, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Redux has shown himself to be biased when it comes to the Maria Olivia Da Silva controversy (he claims that she is 125 years old and proven...no scientist in the world has made that assertion). In addition, it seems that his only goal is self-glorification, which is not a good reason to give him more power.66.64.156.146 05:14, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Unregistered users cannot vote in the RfA. I don't really understand your indignation though.  I only added an entry to the article, naming a source that provided proof of validation.  There didn't seem to be any controversy there, otherwise I wouldn't have added the name to the list.  No one said anything about it in the article's talk page either.  I'm more than willing to discuss it there.  If the evidence I provided is insufficient, I don't have any problems with removing the entry from the article.  Please, assume good faith in situations like this.  All I wanted was to help out.  Regards, Redux 05:41, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

Comments
 * Kate's tool says that Redux made 3042 edits, with 1681 on articles--Exir Kamalabadi | Contributions 02:03, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * To make everybody's lives easier, I'd like to say that I'm a "he". I should have said it sooner, thanks Exir. Redux 02:55, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Arrigo is (or used to be) the anon I talked about in my answer to question 3. The description is accurate, since he still posts anonymously regularly, under the IP address.  Naturally, he is entitled to his opinion about me, but I can't really respond to a personal dislike from someone that has caused problems with several users.  I have said, however, that I did loose my patience during my exchanges with him on account of his aggressiveness (but not as he claims), and this particular tone of Arrigo's has been acknowledged by several users thus far.  As I said, this was not to my credit, and I have since taken myself out of the equation.  Let this be the end of it. Redux 23:03, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redux, you wrote below "..who was very aggressive and ironical in his comments. I did loose my patience, which is not to my credit." Could you please give us verbatim examples (and not only your own interpretations) how, i.e in which words, that commentator was aggressive in comments towards you before you "lost your patience". Arrigo 00:12, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * This is really not the place for this. As far as what happened between us, we both made mistakes.  I've acknowledged mine and I do regret them.  As far as I am concerned, this is all behind us.  If we can't work together, it's best for the community that we at least don't disturb one another's work in the project.  This is what I've been trying to do.  My report in the Village Pump was to get further assessment of what appeared to be a serious problem.  From my very first comment, I said that I could not confirm it, since I lacked the means, which, of course, left clearly open the possibility that what I thought could be happening might not really be happening.  If that was the case, all the better!  It would not have happened if you had not been contributing under a registered account and an IP address simultaneously, as Choess explained to you in your user talk page.  I understand, however, that things between us were left on less than good terms.  I admit that, as a more experienced user, I could have done a better job at preventing this from happening.  For not having done that, I am sorry.  I thought some about it since our last exchange, but for what happened, I believe I've become a better contributor.  If you have any concerns about any possible action of mine against you when (or, at this point, if) I become an Admin, you can rest assured you have nothing to worry about.  As I said in the last part of my last answer, I will not, ever, use Admin tools in any issue with which I'm involved personally, directly or indirectly.  For the sake of transparency and trustworthiness of Administrators' operations, I would not be the indicated person to use those tools in issues involving you.  People could request that of me, but I'd refuse and ask them to address someone else on the issue.  At the most, if requested, I would give my honest opinion, and if it happens that you are right, you can be certain that I will go right out and say: "Arrigo is right on this one".  Does that address your concerns?  Redux 01:36, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * My concerns are addressed when you remain as non-privileged user. You can refrain from applying for adminship. Remember that of us two, you are the one trying to have a position which I feel you unsuitable to. I think I am quite objective in this - my opposition does not come from any personal fear, it comes from my experiences of your nature. If you are now having a better day, we must look forward to you having again bad days. It belongs to the pattern of your behavior. As to the question I posed, I think there will be found out that you used very foul language without anything such that you could present here legitimately as provocation - after all, your possessiveness IS against wikipedia principles. I asked for authentic verbatim samples for (1) to give others opportunity to assess those samples objectively (I do not want to be the one to give interpretation), and (2) even offered you the possibility to pick up samples.Arrigo 02:03, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry that you feel this way. Your concerns are noted. Perhaps one day you will find out that I'm one of the good guys around here. What happened between us was unfortunate and, hopefully, will not happen again. Redux 02:24, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. My main areas of interest would be VfD, dealing with vandalism, copyright problems (for both text and images), 3RR issues and mediating and, if necessary, applying the rules applicable to personal attacks issues.  As an admin, I'd be willing to get involved and try to defuse conflicts.  I've had great mentors in the art of staying cool.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I've contributed to many articles pertaining to Brazil. My intention is to expand the coverage we have on the country.  I am the creator of the Brazil Wikiportal, which I also maintain and update regularly.  I am also proud of my involvement with the Barnstars on Wikipedia project — I also empower the Kindness Campaign by awarding Barnstars whenever I find a worthy recipient.  My motto is "credit where credit is due" (corny, but true).

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. Yes. Anyone who has been around as long as I have is bound to have been in a couple of conflicts.  The most recent one I had was with an anon user (now registered, I believe) who was very aggressive and ironical in his comments.  I did loose my patience, which is not to my credit.  But as soon as I realized where things were going, I took myself "out of the equation", as we say.  A couple of days back, I ran into evidence that seemed to point to the anon and another user being involved in a rivalry that seemed to include sockpuppets and impersonations.  I reported this on the Village Pump, in order to get a broader peer assessment of the issue.  I did it  being as impartial as possible, but giving my views on what appeared to be happening.  The anon didn't like it, and wrote some personal attacks in the IP talk page.  I have not responded, and nor do I intend to.  Rivalries are not why I'm here.  All I want is to advance the project.  Another time, a frustration due to a very insistent vandal led me to criticize another user who did not deserve my words.  I admitted the mistake and apologized to the user in his talk page.  I have also apologized to another user for allowing myself to be dragged into an unpleasant discussion with an anon on said user's talk page.  And if ever I mess up again (I'm only human), I will apologize again, that's part of the learning process.  Here's something I will vow: if given Adminship, I will never use Admin tools in any issue that I happen to be involved with personally (hopefully, never again).  If it's the case to get an Admin involved, I will contact someone else and ask for an opinion, or make my case in the RfC or some other appropriate forum.  I am very serious about this: Admin opperations must be transparent and spotless.  I realize the responsibility I'd be taking on.  Other than that, I often defuse misunderstandings and potential issues by being polite and explaining thoroughly my reasons on talk pages.  That's how I'd prefer to deal with problems: talking it out politely and in a civil manner.  That's what I intend to do, always.

The self-nominated candidate, Redux, has written (in User talk:John Kenney): "Spoken like a true paranoid. Who do you think you're fooling dude?  Rambling on will not change anything.... Redux 13:42, 11 July 2005 (UTC)" - It is possible that Redux' eagerness to have sysop powers derives from his "frustration" over not succeeding to impose his will in that indicated case, due to also technical reasons. 217.140.193.123 11:46, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Atrioventricular block

Atrioventricular block (AV block) is a type of heart block that occurs when the electrical signal traveling from the atria, or the upper chambers of the heart, to ventricles, or the lower chambers of the heart, is impaired. Normally, the sinoatrial node (SA node) produces an electrical signal to control the heart rate. The signal travels from the SA node to the ventricles through the atrioventricular node (AV node). In an AV block, this electrical signal is either delayed or completely blocked. When the signal is completely blocked, the ventricles produce their own electrical signal to control the heart rate. The heart rate produced by the ventricles is much slower than that produced by the SA node.

Some AV blocks are benign, or normal, in certain people, such as in athletes or children. Other blocks are pathologic, or abnormal, and have several causes, including ischemia, infarction, fibrosis, and drugs.

Classification
There are three types, or degrees, of AV block: (1) first-degree, (2) second-degree, and (3) third-degree, with third-degree being the most severe. An ECG is used to differentiate between the different types of AV blocks. However, one important consideration when diagnosing AV blocks from ECGs is the possibility of pseudo- AV blocks which are due to concealed junctional extrasystoles. It is important to diagnose AV-blocks precisely because unnecessary pacemaker placement in patients with pseudo-AV blocks can worsen symptoms and create complications.

First-degree atrioventricular block
First-degree AV block occurs when there is a delay, but not disruption, as the electrical signal moves between the atrium and the ventricles through the AV node. On ECG, this is defined by a PR interval greater than 200 msec. Additionally, there are no dropped, or skipped, beats.

Second-degree atrioventricular block
Second-degree AV block occurs when the electrical signal between the atria and ventricles is even more impaired than in a first-degree AV block. In a second-degree AV block, the impairment results in a failure to conduct an impulse, which causes a skipped beat.

Mobitz I
Mobitz I is characterized by a progressive yet reversible block of the AV node. On ECG, this is defined by progressive prolongation of the PR interval, with a resulting dropped beat (the PR interval gets longer and longer until a beat is finally dropped, or skipped).

Some patients are asymptomatic; those who have symptoms respond to treatment effectively. There is a low risk of a Mobitz I AV block leading to complete heart block or cardiac arrest.

Mobitz II
Mobitz II is caused by a sudden, unexpected failure of the His-Purkinje cells to conduct the electrical impulse. On ECG, the PR interval is unchanged from beat to beat, but there is a sudden failure to conduct the signal to the ventricles, and resulting in random skipped beat.

The risks and possible effects of Mobitz II are much more severe than Mobitz I in that the risk of progression to complete heart block or asystole are significant.

Third-degree atrioventricular block
Third-degree AV block occurs when the signal between the atria and ventricles is completely blocked, and there is no communication between the two. None of the signals from the upper chambers make it to the lower chambers. On ECG, there is no relationship between P waves and QRS complexes, meaning the P waves and QRS complexes are not in a 1:1 ratio.

Third-degree AV block is the most severe of the AV blocks. Persons with third-degree AV block need emergency treatment including but not limited to a pacemaker.

Etiology
There are many causes of AV block, ranging from a normal variant among people to the result of a heart attack.

First-degree AV block and Mobitz I second-degree block are often thought to be just normal, benign, conditions in people, and do not often result from a severe underlying condition.

Mobitz II second-degree block and third-degree AV block are not normal variants and are associated with an underlying condition. Common causes include ischemia (lack of blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle) or progressive fibrosis (excessive scaring) of the heart. It is also possible that a high degree block can result after cardiac surgery during which the surgeon was in close proximity to the electrical conduction system and accidentally injured it. Reversible causes of Mobitz II and third-degree heart block include untreated Lyme disease, hypothyroidism, hyperkalemia (high levels of potassium), and drug toxicity. Drugs that slow the conduction of the electrical signal through AV node, such as beta-blockers, digoxin, calcium channel blockers, and amiodarone, can cause heart block if they are taken in excessive amounts, or the levels in the blood get too high.

Anatomy
The synchronized contraction of the heart occurs through a well-coordinated electrical signal pathway. The initial electrical signal originates from the SA node located in the upper portion of the right atrium. The electrical signal then travels through both the right and left atrium and causes the two atria to contract at the same time. This simultaneous contraction results in the P wave seen in an ECG tracing.

The electrical signal then travels to the AV node located on the lower portion of the interatrial septum. At the AV node there is a delay in the electrical signal, which allows the atria to contract and blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles. This delay accounts for the ECG period between the P wave and the QRS complex, and creates the PR interval.

From the AV nodes, the electrical signal travels through Bundle of His and divides into the right bundle and left bundle, which are located within the interventricular septum. Finally, the electrical signal travels into the Purkinje fibers. The division of the signal into a right and left bundle and then into the Purkinje fibers allows for a simultaneous depolarization and contraction of the right and left ventricles. The contraction of the ventricles results in the QRS complex seen on an ECG tracing. After contraction, the ventricles must repolarize, or reset themselves, in order to allow for a second depolarization and contraction. The repolarization creates the T wave in the ECG tracing.

Diagnosis
An electrocardiogram, or ECG, is used to differentiate between the different types of AV block. In AV block, there is a disruption between the signal traveling from the atria to the ventricles. This results in abnormalities in the PR interval, as well as the relationship between P waves and QRS complexes on the ECG tracing. If the patient is symptomatic from their suspected AV block, it is important that an ECG is also obtained while having symptoms. Physicians may also order a continuous ECG (i.e. Holter monitor or implanted cardiac monitor) to monitor the patient for symptoms and conduction abnormalities over a longer period of time, as AV blocks can be intermittent.

Because some types of AV block can be associated with underlying structural heart disease, patients may also undergo echocardiogram to look at the heart and assess the function.

Laboratory diagnosis for AV blocks include electrolyte, drug level and cardiac enzyme level tests. Based upon clinical suspicion, the physician may do lab tests to assess for reversible causes of AV block, such as hypothyroidism, rheumatologic disorders, and infections (such as Lyme disease).

Management
Management is dependent upon the severity, or degree, of the blockage, the consistency of symptoms, as well as the cause of the AV block.

Patients with first-degree AV block do not have any resulting severe or life-threatening symptoms, such as symptomatic bradycardia or hypotension, and, thus, do not require treatment.

Similarly, patients with second-degree Mobitz I AV block rarely develop life-threatening symptoms, and patients who are asymptomatic do not require treatment. However, in some cases, patients with Mobitz I block can develop life-threatening symptoms that require intervention. These patients often respond well to atropine, but may require temporary transcutaneous pacing or transvenous pacing until they are no longer symptomatic.

Patients with second-degree Mobitz II and third-degree heart block are much more likely to have symptomatic bradycardia and hemodynamic instability, such as hypotension. Additionally, there is an increased risk of patients with Mobitz II heart block developing third-degree heart block. Therefore, these patients often require temporary pacing with transcutaneous or transvenous pacing wires, and many will ultimately require a permanent implanted pacemaker.

If the heart block is found to be caused by a reversible condition, such as Lyme disease, the underlying condition should first be treated. Often, this will lead to resolution of the heart block and the associated symptoms.

Constituencies of Namibia
Hi there, PZFUN! I've been following you around adding stub messages to your Constituencies of Namibia articles. You've added quite a bit -- and I've stubbified most of them -- and I was hoping that you'd start adding the stub notices yourself. Just add to the bottom of the page (but before the category link). Thanks, and happy editing! --Diberri | Talk 00:04, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * You're very welcome. Thanks for all your contributions! --Diberri | Talk 00:09, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * I'd be more than happy to answer your questions about Wikipedia. I don't have an instant messenger, but you can feel free to post questions on my talk page, or even go to the Help Desk, where other Wikipedians can help answer your questions. (By the way, I'm not particularly interested in Namibia, though I don't find it particularly uninteresting either :-) I had just noticed your additions because I regularly scour the list of new pages.) Best, Diberri | Talk 00:15, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * Here's one way you get get that columned-page feel:

Caprivi

 * Kongola
 * Linyanti
 * Sibinda
 * Katima Mulilo Urban
 * Katima Mulilo Rural
 * Kabbe

Erongo

 * Omaruru
 * Karibib
 * Brandberg
 * Arandis
 * Swakopmund
 * Walvis Bay

 * I'm not sure I like the way it looks, but maybe your eye is better :-) --Diberri | Talk 00:26, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * I haven't seen too many columned pages around Wikipedia, probably because they're inherently difficult to produce using the standard wiki markup (even in HTML it can get hairy). Would you be terribly heartbroken if the page remained a single column? --Diberri | Talk 00:37, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)

Copyvios

 * I refer you to my comments in Talk:Monk (Montreal Metro), and will also mention I had to delete the Montreal metro map you uploaded as being in the "public domain" when in fact it had a big copyright sticker on the bottom. An existing map, explicitly released under GFDL was available -- it had even been voted onto Featured Images -- so I'm rather at a loss as to why you thought this was a good idea. Things are not in the public domain just because they are on the Internet. - Montréalais 04:46, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * I have responded to you on my talk page. - Montréalais

Images
I am interested in using Image:Johannesburg skyline lg.jpg and Image:Pic-sandton.jpg in another article. Are they GFDL? - SimonP 17:12, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

City Hall (New York Subway)
If someone asked me if it would be possible to write an interesting article about a subway station, I would have laughed. I just read City Hall (New York Subway). You proved me wrong. Nice writing! Joyous 22:37, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)

Railway station article deleted
Hello PZFUN,

As an author of articles on subway and railway stations, you might be interested to know that an article on a railway station, Route 128 Station, was recently deleted from Wikipedia by a vote of 4 to 2 (I voted against deletion, as did the author). The reasons the voters gave for deletion were

 * 1) It's an advertisement for a railway station. (Huh?)
 * 2) It's non-notable. (That's not in the policy as a reason for deletion.)
 * 3) Wikipedia is not a travel guide. (Right, but what does that have to do with the station?)

The article was well organized and written. It covered a station on a line connecting Washington, New York and Boston.

I've put a lot of work into articles on Tokyo subways, and would not want to start a project on stations given that they might be deleted at any time. I'm surprised by the decision and wonder what fate awaits other articles on railway and subway stations.

Old article is here

Danish wikipedians' notice board
You have shown an interest in Denmark or Danish related topics in the past, so I invite you to have a look at Danish wikipedians' notice board. It is a tool to help people interested in Denmark post articles they'd like to see, and to keep track of the existent coverage of Denmark. It can also serve as a place to address concerns regarding any aspect of Danish coverage on the english wikipedia. Hope you find it useful! In any case, could you please look at it and fill in any articles you know of that are not covered by the list? Thanks,

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Congratulations, PZFUN!
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 07:01, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

COTW
Congratulations, First Indochina War has been voted this week's Collaboration of the week. Please edit it to help raise it to featured article status.

Yonge-University-Spadina Line
I noticed your 'parcelization' of the line article into a series of smaller ones. Honestly, I don't think this is the way to go.

Each individual article you're making seems too small to be of note. I'll grant you that, in some transit systems, this may be worth it; for the TTC, I don't think so.

As well, I'm not very impressed that the main article text was replaced wholesale with a table before the individual articles were finished. The content of the unfinished articles is not currently available anywhere; I and many others have put a lot of work into that content, and we'd like to see it remain in some form until the work is done.

Is there any way we can do some discussion on this before it goes further? I'd suggest Canadian wikipedians' notice board to make sure the discussion gets noticed.

Please let me know what you think. Radagast 01:20, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

 * I have to agree. Perhaps for a system such as Montreal's, where each station is different architecturally, this would be appropriate. However, for a system such as Toronto's, this will just result in a bunch of one-sentence stubs for most of these stations. The article was hardly unwieldy; it was fine as it was.

 * Large-scale changes like this should at least be discussed in Talk first. Please be respectful of other peoples' work before you start making changes that have not been agreed upon through consensus. Darkcore 02:16, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * It is done, for the whole system, and I do not want to put down the work; that's a lot of effort, all in a short period. That said, I still don't know if this is the best approach for this system; I suppose time will tell. I do hope you keep in mind for future such work that A) consultations could be made on talk pages, etc to see if this is the best approach; and B) finish replacement articles before removing the original text. All content should remain available at all times, even if it's being duplicated. Radagast 12:59, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

'Refurbishment' of the MTR Article
I've noticed you have a keen interest in the MTR. However, when I looked at the article history I can see the article currently is in a big mess - incomplete sections, deleted information and confusion between the MTR system itself and the MTR Corp.

The article by itself currently has sections deleted, which I plan to have most of them restored from history, do some rewrite, editing, copyediting and separating all the information into three mai8n articles :

 * MTR (as a metro system by itself)
 * Rolling stock of the MTR
 * MTR Corporations Ltd

I have tons of photos, and I believe this article can be made into a featured one with some good effort. I hope you can help me as much as possible,.and hoping to hear from you soon. :)

Min Nan
Hi PZFUN,

I've reversed your move from Min Nan to Min Nan language. Sorry about that... but so far people have been trying to avoid using the labels "language" or "dialect" in naming articles related to subdivisions of Chinese language(s). (We've had discussions too, at Talk:Chinese language and Talk:Cantonese (linguistics), you can take a look at those.) I can't say that the current solution is the best, and of course everyone's always open to suggestions from everyone else. So come discuss if you like. ;)

Johannesburg revert
Hey, I just noticed you reverted the anon at the Johannesburg article. His additions looked ok to me, so I'm curious why you reverted him? I don't have too much knowlegde about the city, so I can't say if his additions were ok or just nonsense, I'm just curious. :-) --Conti|✉ 21:45, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)

Copyvios & Untagged Images for MTR-Related Articles
Loads of work to make MTR a feature article! First thing is to clean out and ressolve the copyvio and untagged image problems.

I'm refurbishing the article right now, I've seen that the article has been listed as a candidate for feature article but is facing opposition due to untagged images. Those untagged ones have to be gotten rid of and replaced, if I have suitable ones hopefully.

There are a number of good photos that could be used, but had to be sadly discarded due to the fact they aren't tagged.

Also, I saw you did actually uploaded a number of photos of Gakei.com - did you have gotten permission from the photographer? The message @ the website doesn't seem like a generous and friendly webmaster to me :

'''IMPORTANT: ALL photo images were taken by GAKEI, who retains the copyright privilege over them. You are NOT welcome to show any of them to the public in any form or by any means without his permission IN ADVANCE.'''

If you do, please tag them if they have permission, otherwise you'll have to ask the webmaster or I afriad they have to be discarded. (*sigh*, they're indeed good shots)

- Mailer Diablo 22:29, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * LOL, systematic bias I think! I've personally taken too much photos on the platform itself and failing to take anything outside the station, and now I've returned from Hong Kong... =P

Just help me with peer review and editing then. I've finished writing. Now it's time to refine it to feature status. - Mailer Diablo 23:31, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Okay, I've started on MTR Corporation Limited only as a substub. Just too tired after spending hours on the MTR article. I think it's nothing much more than extracting from the page history of MTR. Would be good if you can continue on it. :) - Mailer Diablo 00:05, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Africa-related regional notice-board
Hi PZFUN,

I came across your Johannesburg regions and also noticed your work on Namibia. (BTW, the infobox on the Namibian cities looks superb and greatly enhances the content.) Did you know of Africa-related_regional_notice_board? It is still in its infancy, but you might consider subscribing as a participant. You certainly qualify as a Wikipedian actively working on Africa-related topics. Season's greetings and kind regards,  — mark ✎ 10:06, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You may want to take a look at the enforcement section of the arbitration decision of which Gzornenplatz is part of. It says "2) If Gzornenplatz, Shorne, or VeryVerily should revert a page without discussing it on the relevant talk page, an administrator may ban him for up to 24 hours." It is allowable to apply these successively, once day for each violation - each time where Gz has reverted by removing the country infobox template and replaced it with the table without discussing it on the talk page of each article. -- Netoholic @ 04:16, 2005 Jan 10 (UTC)

 * I'd say you have enough grounds now. Just leave a message on his talk page indicating what edits/pages the block is for. -- Netoholic @ 04:26, 2005 Jan 10 (UTC)

 * Hey PZ if you need any help on the infbox stuff let me know, will give me something esle to do. --Boothy443 09:09, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Record
Use as you wish. These will show edits where Gz reverted the country infobox, without discussing it on the associated talk page. Edits marked "freebie" represent the first time he's remove the template, the numbered ones show each successive revert.

 * Belarus - freebie - 1 2 3 - Talk page history

 * Bosnia and Herzegovina - freebie - 1 2 3 - Talk page history

I unblocked Gz. He has stated his reasoning behind reverting Cantus' country info boxes due to design flaws many times. (Thus, there was no reversion without discussion in violation of the terms of the Arbcom ruling.) You are free to reject his reasoning in one way or another. But blocking him because he was not repeating the same arguments on 200 different country talk pages is an unreasonable technicality. 172 06:29, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

PZFUN,

While Gzornenplatz has been repeatedly removing the country infobox template link, and over 24 hour increments (so as not to break that Arbitration ruling), he has discussed these edits on multiple relavant pages (just not pasting the same message on every country talk page). Furthermore, it goes against established protocol to block a user with whom you are in a conflict. Please unblock Gz. If you don't respond to my posting, I'll have no choice but to unblock him again myself.

Regards,

172 07:01, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Look, I have every right to lift the block right now just given the fact that you were blocking a user with whom you were involved in a conflict. Please check his user history; I recall discussions of the country infobox template, with which I also have reservations... And if you want to discuss this matter with Gz, this will only be possible if the block is lifted. 172 07:15, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, this just isn't true. 172, I brought this up to PZFUN.  He didn't even know about the ArbCom ruling.  He is not involved to any such degree.  You are far more involved, as you have a friendly relationship with Gz.  Do not unblock him again.  Take this discussion to Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Admin enforcement requested.  -- Netoholic @ 07:20, 2005 Jan 10 (UTC)

I am not "neutral" in the sense that I dislike the country infobox templates. However, according to protocol I am not an involved admin, not having participated in any rounds of reversions on the country pages… Please take this discussion to the administrators' noticeboard, where this dispute over the interpretation of the rulings can be aired. Otherwise, I will still consider unblocking him. 172 07:25, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Don't tell me that I have no right to intervene here. I am not the one currently engaged in a revert war with either of the parties; you are. I have just as much right to intervene here as you do, if not more, given established protocol. (BTW, I was an administrator before you'd even started contributing to Wikipedia-- not that that counts for anything in and of itself.) Even worse, Netoholic's extension of the block to 56 days reeks of vigilantism. I will definitely make sure that that is whittled down. 172 07:41, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Infobox War, Solution D)
Hi, I added another option to the vote: use a country-specific template to off-load the code from the main country page, and invoke a common template w/params from there. I hope editing a vote isn't a no no... — Davenbelle 09:38, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

a true combination solution
Hi, there's a new Solution E that's been proposed for the country infoboxes; I've changed my vote from the Solution D that I proposed, earlier. The new option, proposed by User:Zocky, transcludes a subpage instead of using the template mechanism for this.

See: Nepal's infobox is implemented at Nepal/infobox using Template:Infobox_Country; Tuvalu's is implemented at Tuvalu/infobox as a wiki table.

Discussion is at: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Countries

Cape Colony FA
I'd recommend the article for Fa, but there is one more problem. Currently, we only take single articles, not series - and while subarticles are good, I am not sure recommending four of them - or a single one - is worth it. I recommmend moving History_of_Cape_Colony to History_of_Cape_Colony (from 1652 to 1806), changing the text in box as well and summarizing the history on 2-3 pages in the History of Cape Colony article. Adding pics and all references, with links to main subarticles, it can be a FA then.

Hey, I read MTR yesterday, the latest Juntung version, you're lucky I didn't vote right away! What a mess. I wrote a long screed about paragraph structure, prose, length, TOC, you name it, and went to post it on FAC. But something made me refresh the article, and I realized I'd better hang fire. This morning it's been all fixed up nice by you and Bantman, I see--all my objections taken care of, it's like you guys read my mind! --Bishonen | Talk 06:56, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

genocide pages
Hi PZFUN, Thanks for all your (translation?) work on the Rwandan genocide pages. The article was definitely skimpy before. I hope you don't mind that I moved the box to the main page. I was wondering if you were planning to start an Analysis of the causes of the Rwandan Genocide page, which is currently red-linked in the navigation box. Thanks again and happy editing, BanyanTree 00:21, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

=D
I'm glad to see someone actually appreciate my Userpage design to the extend of actually adopting it for his own userpage! Perhaps that the spirit of Wikipedia, that is having one's contribution made freely to others and to be improved on. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 15:45, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Template:New York City Subway Routes
First, I apologize for listing the articles as copyvios (I suggest you put something on your user page, or in the talk page of each, to prevent others from thinking they are).

Why did you create Template:New York City Subway Routes? This table is only used in one article, and I can't see it being used in any other. It seems easier to simply put the table in the main article, making it easier to edit. --SPUI 23:37, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This is the contributor for the heng fa chuen page
Hello - My name is Peter - I have lived in Heng Fa Chuen for a very long time - I have lived to see it grow and prosper, and see it gradually mature into a beautiful little town.

I was wondering why you deleted my editorials on the page? Is there something wrong with it?

Subway template
PZFUN, I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to alter this template so the borough names are still small, but the line names are full size. Please have some mercy on us Oldipedians who have difficulty deciphering the smaller type. Cheers, Cecropia | explains it all ® 00:44, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

MTR and KCRC stations templates
OK, no more "Lines" at the end of the MTR lines links on the MTRStations template. But I was just wondering whether we should remove "Rail" at the end of the similar links on the KCRCStations template??? I had added it to those links prior to adding to the MTR ones. secfan 10:41, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

Well, the point you made about "taking the Tung Chung": if you just refer to the Tung Chung, it is quite ambiguous even for English speakers, unless they've lived in HK or they're used to how the MTR system works, there is still a quite a large degree of ambiguity there. And looking at a lot of other metro articles, they all refer to lines or rails or something secfan 15:24, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

And also, on the MTR itself, they use the "lines" at the end, except on the Airport Express, so that's a point to consider about. Maybe we could reformat the template or something? secfan 15:05, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)

Gangtok
I've made lots of changes to the bottom portion of the text and I hope it is now sanitised. Please let me know your opinion on the Gangtok page now. Nichalp 18:55, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

Politics Templates
I see we have a discussion on the content of the templates I created on Politics in specific countries. Please stop removing links to individual elections in this kind of templates. As you can see the purpose is to create links to political pages on the specific country. I do not see any disadvantage of listing these elections. You stated that This template is for over-arching themes in the politics of a country, and the invidiual years are not over-arching themes. I do not see why this statement is true, especially since I was the one who started this template. Improvements are welcome, but do not delete this kind of links. Gangulf 12:38, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Re : MTR Expansion plans
Hi Páll,

I'm doing fine, thanks for your concern. :) I've created a separate article (with a link from MTR) and moved the whole section to it, and created a summarized section for that section. Hopefully it should look fine now. Let me know if you have any futher questions. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 12:08, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I guess the person's just a clueless newcomer who is trying to get the hang of things (he did say in my talkpage he needs to polish up). Looks like a promising contributor in future to come. - Mailer Diablo 15:18, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping by and saying Hej
I enjoyed receiving your friendly hello on my talk page yesterday. I was unfortunately busy putting out Wiki-fires at the time so I couldn't return a reply any sooner. Heldigvis er ildene blevet mindre voldsomme nu! Funny how our paths cross in that strange way between Chicago and Denmark. But you still have me beat when it comes to how many continents you have lived on! Med venlig hilsen! Sfdan 17:29, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Politics of Denmark
I see you've reverted the change...

The 2 former houses of parliment in Denmark was equal in power, which the article about 'Folketinget' also says, as such it would be wrong to call them upper or lower.

Timeline
Nee Páll ek is engels. Anyway sorry that South Africa did not make it with all your hard work, I will go back and vote. As for the the Timeline I was going to go back and search for the wiki links. I just wanted something there in the meantime. --Jcw69 13:38, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Spioenkop / Spion Kop
You cannot cut and paste a move from Battle of Spion Kop to Battle of Spioenkop; you break the page history. Read How to rename (move) a page. --Audiovideo 21:14, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Excuse me, but I know how to move a page. The page that I moved to already existed and had its OWN history, which I did not want to delete. Thank you. Páll 08:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Apparently you did not read the page on how to move pages which says clearly that your cut and paste amounts to historical revisionism. You could have made a request at Requested moves or have an administrator delete the history     which at the time you did your cut and paste only amounted to a redirect and the same redirect with the case changed - you wanted to keep that at the price of breaking the history of the article itself?  But instead you broke with policy and made no attempt to change the large number of double redirects you created.  On top of that, User:Wikiwizzy tells me you did all this without consensus on the move.   Apparently you are an administrator and could have deleted the minor history yourself - I cannot imagine how you got that status if you do not read simple instructions on how Wikipedia works. --Audiovideo 02:12, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

South Africa
I'm glad it passed! I was hoping removing 8K was the trimming it needed. -- Dbroadwell 07:45, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * It ws just a matter of making sure it only outlined and stayed on facts that directly related to the country and not so much to subtopics there of, like about the Boer War, and the outcome, but not alot of the details of how it happened. I'm ~still~ not comfortable having removed that the lower classes are sufering more from the epdemic of AIDS/HIV, but I wasn't sure if that was Culture or Politics, or both. Fell free to call on my again when stuck at an impasse. -- Dbroadwell 14:43, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Please only use the 'admin rollback' facility for obvious vandalism or edits with no obvious merit.

 * The South African Military was able to succesfully develop and test nuclear weapons in the Apartheid years deserves a better reason for reversion, and

 * The capital of South Africa [Pretoria] has been renamed 'Tshwane' in order to remove links with it's colonial past. The name came from an African chief who ruled the area before the arrival of the europeans. ditto. Wizzy… ☎   12:01, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

South African coup
Why did you revert my change? Paul Beardsell 02:44, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I am not sure I agree and neither, it seems, does the subsequent editor of the article. State, government and country are being confused. A country can experience a coup d'etat which overthrows the current government. But it is not correct to say, as the article did, that "the government" has not experienced a coup over a period where several different governments have been in power. But that isn't the point: I would have found it useful for you to have said why you reverted when you reverted. I had to ask WHY? You should have said. Paul Beardsell 08:24, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

MTR Map changes
The reason I've changed the map size is because in gecko, at 1024*768, it screws up the adjacent text.

You'll notice that the latter displays consistantly in both browsers, while the former only seems correct in Gecko (Mozilla/Firefox etc) when at larger resolutions than 1024. Would you accept my revision, but with 600 width? --BesigedB (talk) 21:39, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Statue of Liberty
Why are you removing the Statue of Liberty from the New York City article? It was placed there as part of an earlier comprimise - The Statue of Liberty is there because it is a symbol of New York City. WhisperToMe 03:42, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

NYC Changes
--Before you embark on what you call a "major clean-up, and reorganization" of the New York City article, why don't you spend some time participating in the article's discussion page first? Many of the changes you made have already been discussed at length, especially the issue of the Statue of Liberty. Also, I'm not sure what web browser you're using, but 300 pixels should only be used for the absolute most important pictures of an article. This is the first time I'v even seen you on the NYC edits anyway, so please have more caution in the future before you undo countless hours of other people's work. --Jleon 05:55, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

-- The organization of the article is not "awful," what was awful was seeing dozens of oversized pictures and overly-simplified sections on a very complex city. If you really felt so strongly then why not pay any attention to the history of the article, or at the very least, the history of the discussion?--Jleon 06:21, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

--You're telling ME that such major changes need to be discussed first?! What happened to being "bold"? Your're the one that made such sweeping changes with complete disregard for discussion in the first place. I'v delt with unreasonable people before on wiki, but never to this extent.--Jleon 06:30, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

---Also, why are you telling me I need to discuss my changes? My name is ALL OVER the NYC discussion page, while your's is nowhere to be found!

Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture

Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA or AdvancedTCA) is the largest specification effort in the history of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG), with more than 100 companies participating. Known as AdvancedTCA, the official specification designation PICMG 3.x (see below) was ratified by the PICMG organization in December 2002. AdvancedTCA is targeted primarily to requirements for "carrier grade" communications equipment, but has recently expanded its reach into more ruggedized applications geared toward the military/aerospace industries as well. This series of specifications incorporates the latest trends in high speed interconnect technologies, next-generation processors, and improved Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS).

Mechanical specifications
An AdvancedTCA board (blade) is 280 mm deep and 322 mm high. The boards have a metal front panel and a metal cover on the bottom of the printed circuit board to limit electromagnetic interference and to limit the spread of fire. The locking injector-ejector handle (lever) actuates a microswitch to let the Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) know that an operator wants to remove a board, or that the board has just been installed, thus activating the hot-swap procedure. AdvancedTCA boards support the use of PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) or Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) expansion mezzanines.

The shelf supports RTMs (Rear Transition Modules). RTMs plug into the back of the shelf in slot locations that match the front boards. The RTM and the front board are interconnected through a Zone-3 connector. The Zone-3 connector is not defined by the AdvancedTCA specification.

Each shelf slot is 30.48 mm wide. This allows for 14-board chassis to be installed in a 19-inch rack-mountable system and 16 boards in an  ETSI rack-mountable system. A typical 14-slot system is 12 or 13 rack units high. The large AdvancedTCA shelves are targeted to the telecommunication market so the airflow goes in the front of the shelf, across the boards from bottom to top, and out the rear of the shelf. Smaller shelves that are used in enterprise applications typically have horizontal air flow.

The small-medium AdvancedTCA shelves are targeted to the telecommunication market; for the lab research operation, some shelves have an open cover in order to make testing easier.

Backplane architecture
The AdvancedTCA backplane provides point-to-point connections between the boards and does not use a data bus. The backplane definition is divided into three sections; Zone-1, Zone-2, and Zone-3. The connectors in Zone-1 provide redundant −48 VDC power and Shelf Management signals to the boards. The connectors in Zone-2 provide the connections to the Base Interface and Fabric Interface. All Fabric connections use point-to-point 100 Ω differential signals. Zone-2 is called "Fabric Agnostic" which means that any Fabric that can use 100 Ω differential signals can be used with an AdvancedTCA backplane.

The connectors in Zone-3 are user defined and are usually used to connect a front board to a Rear Transition Module. The Zone-3 area can also hold a special backplane to interconnect boards with signals that are not defined in the AdvancedTCA specification.

The AdvancedTCA Fabric specification uses Logical Slots to describe the interconnections. The Fabric Switch Boards go in Logical Slots 1 and 2. The chassis manufacturer is free to decide the relationship between Logical and Physical Slots in a chassis. The chassis Field Replaceable Units (FRU) data includes an Address Table that describes the relationship between the Logical and Physical slots.

The Shelf Managers communicate with each board and FRU in the chassis with IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) protocols running on redundant I²C buses on the Zone-1 connectors.

The Base Interface is the primary Fabric on the Zone-2 connectors and allocates 4 differential pairs per Base Channel. It is wired as a Dual-Star with redundant fabric hub slots at the core. It is commonly used for out of band management, firmware uploading, OS boot, etc.

The Fabric Interface on the backplane supports many different Fabrics and can be wired as a Dual-Star, Dual-Dual-Star, Mesh, Replicated-Mesh or other architectures. It allocates 8 differential pairs per Fabric Channel and each Channel can be divided into four 2-pair Ports. The Fabric Interface is typically used to move data between the boards and the outside network.

The Synchronization Clock Interface routes MLVDS (Multipoint Low-voltage differential signaling) clock signals over multiple 130 Ω buses. The clocks are typically used to synchronize telecom interfaces.

Update Channel Interface is a set of 10 differential signal pairs that interconnect two slots. Which slots are interconnected depends on the particular backplane design. These are signals commonly used to interconnect two hub boards, or redundant processor boards.

Fabrics
The Base Interface can only be 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T Ethernet. Since all boards and hubs are required to support one of these interfaces there is always a network connection to the boards.

The Fabric is commonly SerDes Gigabit Ethernet, but can also be Fibre Channel, XAUI 10-Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, PCI Express, or Serial RapidIO. Any Fabric that can use the point-to-point 100 Ω differential signals can be used with an AdvancedTCA backplane.

The PICMG 3.1 Ethernet/Fibre Channel specification has been revised to include IEEE 100GBASE-KR4 signaling to the existing IEEE 40GBASE-KR4, 10GBASE-KX4, 10GBASE-KR, and XAUI signaling.

Blades (boards)
AdvancedTCA blades can be Processors, Switches, AMC carriers, etc. A typical shelf will contain one or more switch blades and several processor blades.

When they are first inserted into the shelf the onboard IPMC is powered from the redundant −48 V on the backplane. The IPMC sends an IPMI event message to the Shelf Manager to let it know that it has been installed. The Shelf Manager reads information from the blade and determines if there is enough power available. If there is, the Shelf Manager sends a command to the IPMC to power-up the payload part of the blade. The Shelf Manager also determines what fabric ports are supported by the blade. It then looks at the fabric interconnect information for the backplane to find out what fabric ports are on the other end of the fabric connections. If the fabric ports on both ends of the backplane wires match then it sends an IPMI command to both blades to enable the matching ports.

Once the blade is powered-up and connected to the fabrics the Shelf Manager listens for event messages from the sensors on the blade. If a temperature sensor reports that it is too warm then the Shelf Manager will increase the speed of the fans.

The FRU data in the board contains descriptive information like the manufacturer, model number, serial number, manufacturing date, revision, etc. This information can be read remotely to perform an inventory of the blades in a shelf.

Shelf Management
The Shelf Manager monitors and controls the boards (blades) and FRU in the shelf. If any sensor reports a problem the Shelf Manager can take action or report the problem to a System Manager. This action could be something simple like making the fans go faster, or more drastic such as powering off a board. Each board and FRU contains inventory information (FRU Data) that can be retrieved by the Shelf Manager. The FRU data is used by the Shelf Manager to determine if there is enough power available for a board or FRU and if the Fabric ports that interconnect boards are compatible. The FRU data can also reveal the manufacturer, manufacturing date, model number, serial number, and asset tag.

Each blade, intelligent FRU, and Shelf Manager contains an Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC). The Shelf Manager communicates with the boards and intelligent FRUs with IPMI protocols running on redundant I²C buses. IPMI protocols include packet checksums to ensure that data transmission is reliable. It is also possible to have non-intelligent FRUs managed by an intelligent FRUs. These are called Managed FRUs and have the same capabilities as an intelligent FRU.

The interconnection between the Shelf Manager and the boards is a redundant pair of Intelligent Platform Management Buses (IPMBs). The IPMB architecture can be a pair of buses (Bused IPMB) or a pair of radial connections (Radial IPMB). Radial IPMB implementations usually include the capability to isolate individual IPMB connections to improve reliability in the event of an IPMC failure.

The Shelf Manager communicates with outside entities with RMCP (IPMI over TCP/IP), HTTP, SNMP over an Ethernet network. Some Shelf Managers support the Hardware Platform Interface, a technical specification defined by the Service Availability Forum.

New specification activity
Two new working groups have been started to adapt ATCA to the specific requirements of physics research.

 * WG1: Physics xTCA I/O, Timing and Synchronization Working Group

WG1 will define rear I/O for AMC modules and a new component called the μRTM. Additions will be made to the μTCA Shelf specification to accommodate the μRTM and to the ATCA specification to accommodate AMC Rear I/O for an ATCA carrier RTM. Signal lines be identified for use as clocks, gates, and triggers that are commonly used in Physics data acquisition systems.

 * WG2: Physics xTCA Software Architectures and Protocols Working Group

WG2 will define a common set of software architectures and supporting infrastructure to facilitate inter-operability and portability of both hardware and software modules among the various applications developed for the Physics xTCA platform and that will minimize the development effort and time required to construct experiments and systems using that platform.

A working group was formed to extend ATCA to non-telecom markets.

 * PICMG 3.7 ATCA Extensions for Applications Outside the Telecom Central Office

The goals of this new working group are to define enhanced features to support double-wide boards; add enhancements to support 600W single-slot boards and 800W double-slot boards; add support for double-sided shelves with full sized boards plugged into both the front and rear of the shelf; and add support for 10Gbs signaling on the Base Interface.

PICMG specifications

 * 3.0 is the "base" or "core" specification. The AdvancedTCA definition alone defines a Fabric agnostic chassis backplane that can be used with any of the Fabrics defined in the following specifications:
 * 3.1 Ethernet (and Fibre Channel)
 * 3.2 InfiniBand
 * 3.3 StarFabric
 * 3.4 PCI Express (and PCI Express Advanced Switching)
 * 3.5 RapidIO
