Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Phil123. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Phil123~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:08, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Opening comment
I'm not certain about all that, and I half think his story could be a joke, or more likely subtly exagerated, it does sound pretty wild. I'm looking for confirmation now.

Yui Okada

Yui Okada (岡田 唯) (born December 28, 1987, in Yao, Osaka, Japan ) is a gravure model, model and race queen, former member of Japanese idol pop group v-u-den that was associated with Hello! Project. She remained within the group until its disbandment in 2008, after which point she was contracted with Up-Front Agency. She is currently no longer in the entertainment business, having retired to study beauty.

History
In June 2004, Okada passed Hello! Project Egg Audition 2004, the first audition to find Hello! Project trainees (known as Hello! Pro Eggs), along with 32 other girls. She was chosen out of over 10,500 applicants. Two months later, in August, she was put into a group with Morning Musume member Rika Ishikawa and sole "Hello! Project Shin Unit Audition" winner Erika Miyoshi. The group was named "V-u-den". Their debut single, "Koi no Nukegara", was released on September 23.

In January 2006, she was added to the new Hello! Project kickball team Metro Rabbits H.P. Her debut photobook, photographed in Okinawa and titled "I Doll" (a pun on "Idol"), was released in February, with the DVD released the following month. Okada was cast in the film Sukeban Deka: Codename Saki Asamiya as Tae Konno, released on September 30, 2006.

In 2008, it was announced that V-u-den would disband after their June concert tour. Her activities as a singer ceased, and she began to do gravure work, as well as appearing on variety shows.

On March 31, 2009, Okada graduated from Hello! Project along with the entire Elder Club, as part of a mass graduation. She also appeared at the Elder Club's final concert together the month before. She did, however, remain with Up-Front Agency, transferring to the Kansai division and moving to Osaka. On June 23, 2010, she announced her intent to retire from celebrity life. Her contract with Up-Front Kansai was terminated on June 30. She has since ceased all activities, intending to study beauty, hair and make-up, a subject in which she has long had an interest. Due to her previous graduation with the Elder Club, she is considered to have graduated from Hello! Project, even though she did not receive a graduation upon her contract termination with the Kansai division. In 2011 it was found that she is currently signed with an agency called Grace Agency and she is working as a model and a race queen.

In April 2013, Okada launched her clothing brand, Ivora.

User:Franck Ver Stut

Robert Baldauf The only thing we know about Robert Baldauf, the Swiss philologist, is that he was a Privatdozent of Basel University and published two volumes out of the four that he had intended to publish under the general title of “History and Criticism”, namely, the first and the fourth volume. These two volumes are of the utmost interest to the critics of chronology and history, since Baldauf managed to come to virtually the same conclusions as Hardouin using an altogether different method, that of philological analysis. Baldauf had studied the archives of the famous Swiss monastery of St. Gallen, formerly one of the key centres of Catholicism, and discovered the traces of the barbaric library raid made by Poggio Bracciolini and a friend of his, both of them highly educated servants of the Roman curia. They purloined numerous manuscripts and books that were considered ancient from the library of this monastery (however, the manuscripts may date to a more recent epoch, which wouldn’t preclude them from serving as prototypes for the manufacture of numerous “ancient”works by Poggio and his assistants. One must also mention Baldauf ’s study of numerous presumably ancient manuscripts and the exposure of the latter as recent forgeries for the most part. Baldauf discovered parallels between the “historical” books of the Old Testament and the works of the mediaeval Romance genre as well as Homer’s “Iliad” that were blatant enough to lead the scientist to the assumption that both the Iliad and the Bible date from the late Middle Ages. Some of the mediaeval chronicles ascribed to different authors resembled each other to such an extent that Baldauf was forced to identify them as works of the same author, despite the fact that the two documents were presumed separated chronologically by an interval of two centuries at least.At any rate, some of the expressions characteristic for Romanic languages that one finds in both documents fail to correspond with either of the alleged datings (one of them being the IX and the other the XI century).Apart from that, some of the manuscripts contain distinctly more recent passages, such as frivolous stories of endeavours in public steambaths (which the Europeans only became acquainted with during the late Reconquista epoch) and even allusions to the Holy Inquisition. Baldauf ’s study of the “ancient” poetry in Volume 4 demonstrates that many “ancient” poets wrote rhymed verse resembling the mediaeval troubadours. Unlike Hardouin, Baldauf is convinced that the verse of Horace is of a mediaeval origin, pointing out German and Italian influences inherent in his Latin. Furthermore, Baldauf points out such pronounced parallels between the poetry of Horace and Ovid (who were presumably unaware of each other’s existence) that one becomes convinced that the works of both belong to a third party – apparently, a much later author. Robert Baldauf wasn’t alone in his criticism of the style characteristic for the “ancient” authors.As early as in 1847 Borber expressed surprise about the striking similarity of the Druids and the Egyptian priests as described in Julius Caesar’s “De bellum Gallico”, which he considers a later forgery, likewise “De bellum civile” by the same author. Baldauf sums up his research in the following words: “Our Romans and Greeks have been Italian humanists”. All of them – Homer, Sophocles, Aristotle and many other “ancient” authors, so different in our perception, hail from the same century, according to Baldauf. Furthermore, their home wasn’t in the Ancient Rome or Hellas, but rather Italy of the XIV-XV century. The entire history of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, likewise the Biblical “history”, which correlates with the above to some extent, was conceived and introduced by the Italian humanists, as well as their colleagues and followers from other countries. Humanism has given us a whole fantasy world of the antiquity and the Bible, as well as the early Middle Ages, which Baldauf had also considered an invention of the humanist writers. This fictional history, initially drafted on parchment, was carved in stone and cast in metal; it has rooted itself in our perception to such an extent that no positivist criticisms can make humanity doubt its veracity.

Eystein Meyla

Eystein Meyla (Øystein Øysteinsson Møyla) was elected a rival King of Norway during the Norwegian Civil War period.

Biography
Eystein was son of King Eysteinn Haraldsson. His nickname Møyla means maiden, girl, cute woman. His father was king of Norway from 1142 to 1157, ruling as co-ruler with his brothers, Inge Haraldsson and Sigurd Munn. Eystein II was killed in 1157 during the power-struggle against his brother, Inge, in an early stage of the civil war era in Norway. After the death of Eystein II, his supporters first rallied around the young Haakon the Broadshouldered, Sigurd Munn's son and Eystein's nephew. Haakon was defeated and killed by Jarl Erling Skakke at Sekken near the town of Veøya in Romsdalen during 1162. The Birkebeiner were formed in 1174 around Eystein Meyla. The Birkebeiner took the city of Trondheim and proclaimed Eystein to be king at the Øretinget Thing by the mouth of the river Nidelva in  during  1176. Eystein Meyla and the party of Birkebeins subsequently arose in rebellion against Erling Skakke and his young son Magnus Erlingsson who reigned as King Magnus V of Norway from 1161–1184.

In January 1177, the Birkebeiners met a crushing defeat at the Battle of Re in Vestfold. Eystein escaped the battle alive, but was killed by a farmer when he tried to ask for grið (mercy). The battle was the last one mentioned in Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson. Sverre Sigurdsson became the Birkebeiners’ next leader. As King Sverre I, he would rule as king of Norway from 1184 until his death in 1202.

Historic overview
In the period of civil wars, it was usual for several royal sons to war against each other over power in Norway. The civil war era of Norwegian history lasted from 1130 to 1240. During this period there were several interlocked conflicts of varying scale and intensity. The background for these conflicts were the unclear Norwegian succession laws, social conditions and the struggle between Church and King. There were then two main parties, firstly known by varying names or no names at all, but finally condensed into parties of Bagler and Birkebeiner. The rallying point regularly was a royal son, who was set up as the head figure of the party in question, to oppose the rule of king from the contesting party.

QDGC

QDGC - Quarter Degree Grid Cells (or QDS - Quarter degree Squares) are a way of dividing the longitude latitude degree square cells into smaller squares, forming in effect a system of geocodes. Historically QDGC has been used in a lot of African atlases. Several African biodiversity projects uses QDGC, among which The atlas of Southern African Birds is the most prominent one. In 2009 a paper by Larsen et al. describes the QDGC standard in detail.

Mechanics
The squares themselves are based on the degree squares covering earth. QDGC represents a way of making approximately equal area squares covering a specific area to represent specific qualities of the area covered. However, differences in area between 'squares' enlarge along with longitudinal distance and this can violate assumptions of many statistical analyses requiring truly equal-area grids. For instance species range modelling or estimates of ecological niche could be substantially affected if data were not appropriately transformed, e.g. projected onto a plane using a special projection.

Around the equator we have 360 longitudinal lines, and from the north to the south pole we have 180 latitudinal lines. Together this gives us 64800 segments or tiles covering earth. The form of the squares becomes more rectangular the longer north we come. At the poles they are not square or even rectangular at all, but end up in elongated triangles.

Each degree square is designated by a full reference to the main degree square. S01E010 is a reference to a square in Tanzania. S means the square is south of equator, and E means it is East of the zero meridian. The numbers refer to longitudinal and latitudinal degree.

A square with no sublevel reference is also called QDGC level 0. This is square based on a full degree longitude by a full degree latitude. The QDGC level 0 squares are themselves divided into four.

To get smaller squares the above squares are again divided in four - giving us a total of 16 squares within a degree square. The names for the new level of squares are named the same way. The full reference of a square could then be:

 * S01E010AD

The number of squares for each QDGC level can be calculated with this formula:

number of squares = (2d)2

(where d is QDGC level)

No Class

"No Class" is a song by the British heavy metal band Motörhead. It was released in 1979 in 7" vinyl pressings. The song first appeared on the 1979 album Overkill, and became one of the "cornerstones" of the classic 1981 live album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith. It is one of the band's "anthems".

Release
It was available in three different covers, with a picture of Lemmy, "Fast" Eddie Clarke or Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor. The single also contains the B-side "Like a Nightmare", which can be found on the reissued versions of Overkill. The song was already a live track before it was recorded for Overkill.

Style and influences
Stylistically, the song is described as "get-down rock boogie". Critics have noted the similarities at the time between Motörhead's music and ZZ Top's, and the guitar riff in "No Class" is said to be "stolen" from ZZ Top's "Tush."

On Motörhead's 1999 live album Everything Louder than Everyone Else, before playing "No Class" Lemmy dedicated the song to long-time friend Wendy O. Williams, who had committed suicide the previous month.

Notable covers

 * The Plasmatics covered the song in 1982, as part of the Stand by Your Man EP collaboration with Motörhead.
 * In 1990 the Argentine Thrash metal band Hermética recorded "No Class" for Intérpretes, a cover album; it is the only English track ever recorded by the band.
 * In 2010, the sludge metal band Kingdom of Sorrow covered the song on their album Behind the Blackest Tears.
 * In 2012, founding thrash metal band Megadeth covered the song on their Gigantour after Motörhead had to pull out of the last 4 shows. Lemmy had a combination of a viral upper respiratory infection and a voice strain.

Single track listing

 * 1) "No Class" (Eddie Clarke, Ian Kilmister, Phil Taylor)
 * 2) "Like a Nightmare" (Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)

Personnel

 * "Fast" Eddie Clarke – Guitars, vocals
 * Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor – Drums

Ágnes Szávay

Ágnes Szávay (Szávay Ágnes, ; born 29 December 1988) is a former professional tennis player from Hungary. The 2007 WTA Newcomer of the Year achieved her career-high ranking of world No. 13 in April 2008.

Personal life
Szávay was born in Kiskunhalas and grew up in Soltvadkert. She started to play tennis at the age of six, with her parents acting as her first coaches and managers. She worked with several coaches including Zoltán Újhidy, Levente Barátosi, Miklós Hornok, József Bocskay, Zoltán Kuharszky, Karl-Heinz Wetter and Gábor Köves. Her younger sister Blanka, who is also a professional tennis player, is five years her junior.

2006
In 2006, she made it to the final of the Ashland Challenger tournament, but lost there to Aleksandra Wozniak in straight sets.

2007
Szávay won her first career WTA-level tournament in singles in Palermo in July. The win caused her ranking to rise to world No. 37. She also won one doubles tournament, the Tier III Budapest Grand Prix, with Vladimíra Uhlířová.

In August, Szávay reached the final of the Tier II tournament in New Haven, defeating Daniela Hantuchová, Alona Bondarenko, and Samantha Stosur, then lost to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final. Szávay was leading 6–4, 0–3 when she had to retire from the match because of a back injury.

Szávay reached the quarterfinals of the US Open, defeating 32nd-seeded Michaëlla Krajicek and seventh-seeded Nadia Petrova, then lost to Kuznetsova. She also reached the semifinals in women's doubles, teaming with Uhlířová.

At her first tournament after the US Open, she reached the final of the Tier II China Open. Szávay, the sixth seed, reached the semifinals where she defeated Chinese player Peng Shuai to advance to her second career Tier II final. Szávay then defeated Jelena Janković to claim her first Tier II title. Szávay led 5–0 in the first set tiebreak before losing it 7–9. In the second set, Szávay saved a match point while trailing 5–1 with a second serve ace and then won nine consecutive games. Szávay moved into the top 20 due to this result.

Szávay's year ended prematurely because of a thigh injury. In late September at the Tier IV Hansol Korea Open Tennis Championships in Seoul, she was forced to retire from her quarterfinal match with Eleni Daniilidou while tied at one set apiece. She did not play on the tour the remainder of the year.

For her achievements, she was named "2007 Hungarian Sportswoman of the Year".

2008
Szávay began the year at the Mondial Australian Women's Hardcourt in Gold Coast. Szávay and Dinara Safina, the third seeded team, won the doubles title, defeating the first and second seeded teams in the semifinals and final, respectively.

Szávay reached the final of the Tier II Open Gaz de France in Paris. She defeated second-seeded Daniela Hantuchová in the quarterfinals and fourth-seeded Elena Dementieva in the semifinals, then lost to Anna Chakvetadze in the three-set final.

Szávay started the clay court season by reaching the quarterfinals in three consecutive tournaments. At the Tier II Bausch & Lomb Championships in Amelia Island, Szávay lost to Lindsay Davenport in the quarterfinals. Going into the Tier I Family Circle Cup in Charleston, Szávay was ranked world No. 13, her highest singles ranking; she reached the quarterfinals but eventually lost to Alizé Cornet in two sets. At the Tier I Qatar Telecom German Open in Berlin, Szávay lost to world No. 2 Ana Ivanovic in three sets.

2009
At the 2009 French Open, Szávay was seeded 29th and upset world No. 3 Venus Williams, beating her in the third round. She was defeated in straight sets by Dominika Cibulková in the fourth round. She won the third title of her career in her hometown at GDF Suez Grand Prix defeating top seed Patty Schnyder in the final.

2010
Szávay reached her first quarterfinals of the year at the Open GDF Suez and then reached the quarterfinals at the Abierto Mexicano TELCEL and the Monterrey Open. In the summer, she won back-to-back titles at the GDF Suez Grand Prix and the ECM Prague Open.

2011
Szávay won her first match in nearly five months at the BNP Paribas Open. After the French Open, she took time off to recover from a back injury.

2012
Szávay lost in several first rounds, including the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, the Olympics, the New Haven Open at Yale, and the US Open.

Mariamne

Mariamne is a name frequently used in the Herodian royal house. In Greek it is spelled Μαριάμη (Mariame) by Josephus; in some editions of his work the second m is doubled (Mariamme). In later copies of those editions the spelling was dissimilated to its now most common form, Mariamne. In Hebrew, Mariamne is known as מִרְיָם, (Miriam), as in the Biblical name ( see Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron ); Mariamne is the Hellenized version of the Hebrew, as Koine Greek was a common language in the late Hasmonean era in Judea ( together with Aramaic ), where both Mariamnes lived.

For Gnostic readers Mariamne is also recognized as possibly being Mary Magdalene. François Bovon, professor of the history of religion at Harvard University, has theorized based on his study of the Acts of Philip (which describes the apostle Philip as the brother of "Mariamne" or "Mariamme") that Mariamene, or Mariamne, was the actual name of Mary Magdalene. Mary/Mariam was a common name in 1st century Israel, however, not all Marys or Mariams would go by the name Mariamne. Nicknames were often used to distinguish between those with common names (Mary, Joseph, etc.).

Holders include:
 * Mariamne (second wife of Herod) (d. 29 BCE), a.k.a. Mariamne I
 * Mariamne (third wife of Herod) (fl. 4 BCE), a.k.a. Mariamne II
 * Mariamne III (fl. 7 BCE), sister of Herodias
 * Mariamne (1st century) (fl. early 1st century CE), wife of Herod of Chalcis
 * Mariamne (daughter of Herod Agrippa) (born 34 or 35), a daughter of Herod Agrippa.
 * Mariamne the sister of the Apostle Philip
 * Olivia Mariamne Devenish (1771–1814), British socialite
 * Mariamne Johnes (1784-1811), daughter of Thomas Johnes, Hafod, Wales

On 5 January 1985, Lim Kah Ngam and Aoki had won Contract 203 for the construction of Commonwealth and Buona Vista stations together with the viaduct from Queensway to Clementi Road. The station opened on 12 March 1988, as part of the extension of the MRT system from Outram Park to Clementi.

Commonwealth had however retrofitted with platform screen doors from January 2011 and started operations on 28 April that year together with Queenstown, and the fans began operating on 25 June 2012 together with Buona Vista station.

A new overhead bridge and two new exits were constructed starting mid-2012 and opened on 23 August 2015, the same day as Queenstown MRT station.

Pitcheswara Rao Atluri

Pitcheswara Rao Atluri (అట్లూరి పిచ్చేశ్వరరావు; 12 April 1925 – 26 September 1966) was an Indian writer, who wrote in the Telugu language.

Personal life
Pitcheswara Rao was born in the small village of Choutapalli in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh on 12 April 1925. Later, his family migrated to the nearby village, Pulaparru. He did his schooling in Choutapalli and Kaikaluru. As a student, he stood first in the Hindi 'Visharada' exams. After completing his pre-university education in the Hindu College, Machilipatnam, he joined the Indian Navy in 1945 as a Mechanical Engineer. He left the Indian Navy in 1953.

After leaving Indian Navy, Pitcheswara Rao worked as a journalist in "Vishalandhra" a Telugu daily newspaper for a few years. In 1962, he moved to Madras, and worked as a screenwriter for Telugu films. During this period, he also established himself as a Telugu writer, and wrote several short stories, radio plays and sketches. He also translated literary works from Russian and Hindi into Telugu. He died of heart attack in 1966.

Pitcheswara Rao's wife, Chouda Rani, was the youngest daughter of Tripuraneni Ramaswamy, a well known Telugu poet and social reformer. Chouda Rani herself was a short story writer, and novelist. She established an exclusive Telugu bookstore in Madras which ran successfully for several years. She died in 1996.

Talk:Sophie Mirabella

Untitled
Your edits were reverted because they made the paragraph as anti-Georgiou as possible - they weren't threatening negative publicity, they were threatening to break with the government's line and effectively cross the floor. You also added lots of unreferenced material about what a hard-working and popular member Panopoulos is. Thus these edits were reverted, as with Julian Barendse and Melbourne University Student Union. Ambi 10:32, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I dislike her politics probably more than you do, but it's difficult to argue with her popularity in the electorate. She got nearly a 5.5% swing to her in 2004, leaving the Libs with 66% of the two-party preferred vote. She may be in the Genghis Khan faction of the Libs, but that's just how they like it up Indi way. --Robert Merkel 00:18, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Makes sense - adding in evidence of electoral swings is how you show with evidence that a member is popular within their electorate, which this guy wasn't doing. Ambi 01:13, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Removed sentence
Some have said that she has never left student politics, given her behaviour.

 * While I have a certain sympathy for such a view, unattributed slurs like this have no place in an NPOV encyclopedia article. --Robert Merkel 22:15, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Panopoulos to Mirabella
Adam 01:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The photo caption needs to be changed
 * It is anachronistic to call her Mirabella when discussing events before her marriage. These references should be changed back to Panopoulos, with a comment in the opening paragraph that she has now changed her name.

 * This article is more or less a hack job of "things that the left don't like about Sophie". But there are many more like this that cannot be adjusted because what is in there is "fact" or removing it would be "positive". Excuse the cynicism but one reason I don't bother editing many articles like this -- there are many articles like this -- is because of the massive brick wall I'll encounter if I try to fix them.

 * "Election 2013: Both sides assess the size of the Abbott victory" "The electoral plight of noted parliamentary pugilist Sophie Mirabella is also promoting ghoulish intrigue among her political colleagues. — For her sworn opponents in the Labor Party with whom she has grappled so vigorously during her 12 years in parliament, the notion of Mrs Mirabella fighting for her political life draws undisguised pleasure. — From the National Party that directed its preferences to her independent opponent Cathy McGowan, there came thinly-veiled satisfaction. — And even from Liberal Party colleagues who didn't need her to secure their victory, it prompted treasonous mutterings."

 * Sadly nothing on Hansard yet, that I can see. Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 01:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

 * "baby will be turned into a..." comment from Neal is simple abuse and does not add any useful information about Mirabella. It does back up the argument of dislike of Mirabella, but is only from one person known to be somewhat combative herself. It doesn't need to have a place in this article. Would be more suitable in Belinda Neal. David Woodward ☮ ♡♢☞☽ 07:16, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Apology
My understanding is that part of her absence and disavowal of the stolen generations apology is her belief that there is no evidence that the Stolen Generations ever happened in victoria http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/02/14/2162399.htm should this be added?Spamburgler (talk) 05:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Certainly the rationale is significant here. ABC is a reliable source so we should add that reference straight away. It would be even better if we could get a direct quote from Mirabella where she denies the stolen generations happened. This article quotes her directly but she's been quoting some "taskforce". I'd love to know what taskforce that was, which was unable to come up with a stolen child. Nick (talk) 14:27, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I clarified this section as it didn't satisfy my understanding of NPOV by only quoting her and not another source on the issue. We can't have someone coming to Wikipedia and reading that a representative believes the stolen generation never happened, especially in Victoria when that was the first place it started, according to other wikipedia articles. Will drop in a reference in a second.--Senor Freebie (talk) 06:57, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

General Updates
This article was poorly formatted, or rather just a slab of text when I came along so I divided up the sections. However there may still need to be work done to the article. For example, I labelled the majority of the content as part of her "political career" and 2 incidents, just like in the Belinda Neal article as "Controversial". Often, articles such as these seem to have a sub-section under Political career for "Policy" which could include the bulk of her political career, including the controversial incidents, such as denying the existence of the Stolen Generation, while keeping election results under the general heading. However, I wasn't sure if there was a 'standard' for Australian politicians.
 * Additionally there is no brief lead and I don't know enough about her to write one. Some parts of this article sound rather striking for a lead but I don't know if they have stayed relevant in the eyes of electorate or media so to put them in the lead might seem ignorant to some.--Senor Freebie (talk) 07:09, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've moved the opening couple of sentences to be the lead as they sum up pretty well her background and current occupation. I've also added a little bit about her connection to the electorate prior to being preselected. Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 08:24, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed removal of irrelevant paragraph
I suggest removing the 'attack on former Liberal leader' paragraph. Fraser is no longer a Liberal Member and has been publicly condemned by other Liberal MP's. This is a negative BLP issue. It is not a 'controversial' incident. If there is any objection to this change, please advise why. Thanks, Jarrodaus11 (talk) 08:47, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. This is not a serious character issue. Malcolm Fraser betrayed his friends and party supporters. 144.136.101.108 (talk) 11:26, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose long standing and has implicit approval of incumbent editors. He is doing something a Liberal PM is not known to do - openly criticise his party, and his party criticise him. Fraser didn't leave the Liberal Party, the Liberal Party left him. Timeshift (talk) 13:12, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. 'Fraser didn't leave the Liberal Party, the Liberal Party left him'. Nonsense. That is your personal opinion. Not fact worthy of wikipedia content. Keep your obvious party political bias out of this. This may be relevant on Malcolm Fraser's page but not here. Jarrodaus11 (talk) 13:18, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Properly referenced, reputable newspaper article entirely about the issue: WP:VERIFY, WP:NOR. Fraser has had a significant and public life tackling public issues since his Liberal Party career. Further: neither current party membership, nor public condemnation by Lib MPs (which BTW is what the para is an example of, so that would suggest that the issue is controversial), nor seriousness of "character issue", nor that Fraser is claimed here to have "betrayed his friends and party supporters", are valid arguments to remove. Please note that "negative BLP issue" is only relevant if unsourced, please see WP:PUBLICFIGURE "BLPs should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well-documented, it belongs in the article – even if it is negative" (my emphasis) David Woodward ☮ ♡♢☞☽ 03:31, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Let's please keep this civil: casting aspersions about bad faith motives does nothing to help anyone. Timeshift, the fact that nobody reverted you when you added this paragraph in 2008 may mean that a new consensus is needed to remove it, but it doesn't mean it has anyone's implicit support. Take this to the the relevant noticeboard if you want the opinion of incumbent editors. I'm unconvinced either way, perhaps the solution would be a rewrite of the "controversies" section into the body of the biography? -- Lear's Fool 14:33, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That's a good point Lear's Fool. I am sorry if what I said was taken the wrong way. I just feel too much weight in this article is given to negative and quite irrelevant comments. I agree with your comments in regards to previous consesus. I also note that this issue hasn't been discussed on this talk page before. Jarrodaus11 (talk) 14:43, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

I've added another 2 refs backing up "frothing" quote. David Woodward ☮ ♡♢☞☽ 07:57, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Relationship to Colin Howard
As Mirabella had significant support from Colin Howard through her early years, why is there little reference to this in the article? http://www.theage.com.au/national/power-love-and-money-20110922-1knb7.html.

Ethikos (talk) 14:44, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Currently there is 1 entire paragraph which is referenced by the exact link you have given above, giving people the opportunity to read further themselves. Mirabella is known for her political career, not for having had a relationship with Howard (this is not what makes her notable) and as such not a highly relevant area for more detail. David Woodward ☮ ♡♢☞☽ 07:29, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Media section
I've removed the section:

 * On 2 July 2012 Mirabella appeared as a panelist on the ABC panelist TV talkback show Q&A. In an incident where a fellow panelist (GetUp! director Simon Sheikh) fainted live on air, Mirabella has been criticised for her apparent lack of caring. Twitter users criticised the opposition MP for her failure to react to Mr Sheikh's collapse. "Watching Simon Sheikh passing out is horrible. But worse is seeing Sophie Mirabella recoil in horror, rather than help," tweeted one in response. Joe Hildebrand from the The Daily Telegraph tweeted "... if I'm ever in need of first aid I really hope the first person on the scene isn't Sophie Mirabella." A spokesperson for Mirabella said she was unaware that it was a medical emergency. Mirabella later said she, "thought that Simon was having a laugh or having a go at Greg Combet."

I've got no problems with the sourcing, but I have some weight concerns. The problem is that this seems like a non-event that was beaten up by various sources well beyond what it should have been. My understanding is that Mirabella wasn't seen to act when Simon Sheikh fainted, but given that most people on the panel didn't as well that doesn't seem like a particularly significant response. Especially given that there was confusion about what was happening. If she was a medical professional then I can understand her response being an issue - but as she has no particular background in healthcare, it seems a bit of an odd focus in the article, especially given the amount of weight given to this issue. - Bilby (talk) 16:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I think it should get a run. Certainly, she is as well-known (at least amongst average punters with little interest in politics) for this as she is for any of her other "controversial" incidents. However, I do feel the quoting of tweets does give undue weight to what was a minor incident. Doctorhawkes (talk) 00:17, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. :) I put it back but trimmed the opinions. Hopefully that's ok. The original wording was a tad inaccurate as well, as there weren't any claims that she "didn't care", just that she didn't react. - Bilby (talk) 07:22, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Political controversy section
I've removed for discussion the section:
 * On 22 September 2011, the Melbourne Age newspaper reported that Mirabella may have potentially breached electoral laws by failing to disclose $100,000 in financial support received from Colin Howard QC, her partner at the time.

It is sourced well enough, to The Age, but the problem is that I can find little coverage outside of that article. Looking through Newsbank, it turns up in Souter's "Will to Power", but there Mirabella denies it. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to have been a mention of it since The Age article, and even then there's only one or two articles in Newsbank that mention it at all. Given Mirabella's denial, and the lack of any substantial coverage, it seemed better to remove it for now, but I'm happy to defer to consensus on how to approach things. - Bilby (talk) 12:32, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Sentence regarding Howard power of attorney and will
The sentence:
 * Mirabella was granted power of attorney over Howard's estate and was named the sole beneficiary.

is still not correct. I initially removed it because it incorrectly claimed that she had made herself a beneficiary, which was not not supported by the source. The revised sentence still confuses the power of attorney with the will when they are very different documents both in nature and timing. The IS article suggests the will dated to 1997, while the power of attorney dates to around 2007, per The Age article. Further, a power of attorney has nothing to do with an estate - it applies during the life of the grantor and ceases on death. I suggest:
 * Mirabella held power of attorney over Howard's affairs from approximately 2007, and pursuant to his 1997 will was executor and sole beneficiary of his estate following his death in 2011.

If there's a way to put it more succinctly without concatenating the two documents, I'm happy for suggestions. - Alaric004 (talk) 05:58, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good edit to me. The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:21, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

James David Smillie

James David Smillie (January 16, 1833 – September 15, 1909) was an American artist, cofounder of the American Watercolor Society and New York Etching Club. His brother was painter George Henry Smillie.

Biography

James David Smillie was born in New York City on January 16, 1833.

His father, James Smillie (engraver) (1807–1885), a Scottish engraver, emigrated to New York in 1829, was elected to the National Academy of Design in 1851, did much, with his brother William Cumming (1813–1908), to develop the engraving of bank-notes, and was an excellent landscape-engraver.

The son studied with him and in the National Academy of Design; engraved on steel vignettes for bank-notes and some illustrations, notably F. O. C. Darley's pictures for James Fenimore Cooper's novels; was elected an associate of the National Academy in 1865—the year after he first began painting—and an academician in 1876; and was a founder (1866) of the American Water Color Society, of which he was treasurer in 1866–73 and president in 1873–78, and of the New York Etching Club.

He married Anna C. Cook in 1881.

Among his paintings, in oils, are Evening among the Sierras (1876) and The Cliffs of Normandy (1885), and in water colour, A Scrub Race (1876) and The Passing Herd (1888). He wrote and illustrated the article on the Yosemite in Picturesque America. A portrait of Smillie by Henry Augustus Loop is in the collection of the National Academy of Design, as is another by James Hamilton Shegogue.

His brother, George Henry Smillie, was also a painter.

James David Smillie died at his home in New York on September 15, 1909.

Aa!

Aa! (あぁ!) was a Japanese girl group.

History
The group's name was chosen by producer and writer Tsunku to represent multiple emotions such as joy and sadness multi-lingually, and so the group's CDs would be alphabetically at the start in record stores (although most Hello! Project merchandise is grouped together). The original group itself released only one single.

The group returned from hiatus in 2009 with a new song, "Yes-Yes-Yes", on the Champloo 1: Happy Marriage Song Cover Shū album. It was announced that Reina Tanaka would no longer be a part of the unit, in order to focus on Morning Musume. She was replaced by Hello! Pro Egg Akari Saho, who was only thirteen when she joined. Akari was already a member of two groups, Shugo Chara Egg! and Tomoiki Ki Wo Uetai. The group's new generation's second song, "Yume to Genjitsu" (夢と現実), was released later in the same year on the Petit Best 10 collection.

The second generation of Aa! was also featured in the 2010 Shuffle Date tour, performing "First Kiss" and "Yume to Genjitsu". A joint release for Aa! with the shuffle units were announced for June 30, but it never released. Aa! was also featured in the Fankora! tour, performing the songs "First Kiss" and "Masayume".

In 2011, Aa! was featured again in the 2011 Winter tour with the songs "Shining Itoshiki Anata", originally by Country Musume and "DON'T STOP Renaichuu", originally by T&C Bomber.

In April 2011, Akari Saho left Aa! and Hello! Project and joined the group Up Up Girls (Kari).

From February 28 to March 1, Aa! reunited with Miyabi Natsuyaki and Airi Suzuki to perform a slightly updated version of "Masayume" at the Berryz Kobo Matsuri mini-tour, their first activities as Aa! since 2011. On March 3, 2015, Miyabi Natsuyaki graduated from Hello! Project with 5 other members of her main group, Berryz Kobo, as they entered an indefinite hiatus.

On August 20, 2016, it was revealed that Airi Suzuki, the last remaining Aa! member in Hello! Project, will graduate from Hello! Project. She graduated along with all of the members of C-ute on June 12, 2017.

Žilina Region

The Žilina Region (Žilinský kraj; Kraj żyliński; Zsolnai kerület) is one of the eight Slovak administrative regions and consists of 11 districts (okresy) and 315 municipalities, from which 18 have a town status. The region was established in 1923, however, in its present borders exists from 1996. It is a more industrial region with several large towns. Žilina is the region administrative center and there is a strong cultural environment in Martin.

Geography
It is located in northern Slovakia and has an area of 6,804 km2 and a population of 688,851 (2011). The whole area is mountainous, belonging to the Western Carpathians. Some of the mountain ranges in the region include Javorníky, the Lesser Fatra and the Greater Fatra in the west, Oravská Magura, Chočské vrchy, Low Tatras and Western Tatras in the east. Whole area belongs to the Váh river basin. Some of its left tributaries are Turiec and Rajčanka rivers and its right tributaries Belá, Orava and Kysuca. National parks on the region's territory are the Lesser, Greater Fatra, Low Tatras and Tatra; landscape protected areas are Strážovské vrchy, Kysuce and Horná Orava. The region borders Prešov Region in the east, Banská Bystrica Region in the south, Trenčín Region in the south-west and west, Czech Zlín Region and Moravian-Silesian regions in the north-west and Polish Silesian and Lesser Poland voivodeships in the north and north-east.

History
After the fall of Great Moravia in the early 9th century, the area became part of the Kingdom of Hungary in the 11th century practically to 1920. Before the break it was part of the Hungarian counties of Trencsén, Turóc, Árva and Liptó. After incorporation into Czechoslovakia, the counties continued to exist under their Slovak names of Trenčín, Turiec, Orava and Liptov, but only to 1923, when they were replaced by (grand) counties ((veľ)župy) From 1928 it was part of the administrative unit "Slovak Land". During the WWII Slovak Republic, the area was split between Trenčín and Tatra counties. Since 1928 it was part of the administrative after reincorporation into Czechoslovakia in 1945, the pre-war state was restored. In 1949-1960 there was a unit with the name Žilina Region but it was abolished in 1960 and the area became part of new Central Slovak Region, of which it was part until 1990 (except 1969-70) when it was abolished. After the independence of Slovakia in 1993, the current region was established in 1996. Since the administrative regions became autonomous in 2002, it is governed by the Žilina Self-Governing Region.

Demographics
The population density in the region is 101 PD/km2 (2020-06-30/-07-01). The largest towns are Žilina, Martin, Liptovský Mikuláš, Ružomberok, Čadca and Dolný Kubín. The level of urbanization is relatively low, with about 50% of the population living in the towns, with the Námestovo District having the lowest urbanization in the whole of Slovakia, only 15%. According to the 2001 census, there were 692,332 inhabitants in the region, almost wholly Slovaks (97.5%), with small minorities of Czechs (<1%) and Roma (<0.5%).

Economy
From the stagnation in the 1990s the region now enjoys relative prosperity. The main employers are industry and tourism.

Grönnens Laid

The "Grönnens laid" (Song of Groningen) is the anthem of the Groningen province of the Netherlands. The anthem was written in 1919 by Geert Teis Pzn. of Stadskanaal, composed by G.R. Jager of Slochteren and arranged by Frieso Molenaar. It is the only Dutch provincial anthem that is officially written in a local dialect, in this case Gronings.

Slavko Cuvaj

Baron Slavko Cuvaj de Ivanska (26 February 1851 – 31 January 1931) was a Croatian politician who was the Ban of Croatia-Slavonia and royal commissioner for Austria-Hungary.

He was appointed in January 1912, when anti-Habsburg sentiments were on the rise in Croatia, often manifesting in sympathies for Serbia and calls for creation of Yugoslavia. Cuvaj tried to curb those trends by series of decrees directed at curbing press freedom, limiting rights of assembly and local autonomy. This created backlash in the form of strikes and demonstrations, while some young radicals engaged in terrorism. Cuvaj himself was target of two assassination attempts in 1912, the first being conducted by group including young August Cesarec. Cuvaj was relieved from his post after the Second Balkan War, receiving a title of baron for his services.

George Henry Smillie

George Henry Smillie (December 29, 1840 –1921) was an American painter and etcher. The brother of artist James David Smillie, he studied under his father, James Smillie, and under James McDougal Hart, and became a member of the National Academy of Design in 1882. Like his brother, he painted both in oils and in water colour. His favourite subjects were scenes along the New England coast. In 1881 he married Nellie Sheldon Jacobs (b. 1854), a painter of genre pictures in oils and water colour.

Thank you for visiting my page, because of time concerned I will keep it very succinct :

(1) Sorry for staying anonymous, but I have to, because some of my opinions conflict with the possible views of some of my customers.

(2) I have a broad spectrum of interests, such as : environmental matters, psychology, sociology, artificial intelligence, health, healthy and environmentally friendly sports and the like, and I enjoy writing.

(3 I see more and more the importance of Wikipedia as a free encyclopedia, but also as a social experimentation and as a way of generating new concepts and influence positively the real world, in that respect, because change is implicated, keeping a descriptive neutral point of view is especially challenging, but worthwhile! And this gives Wikipedia one more dimension compared to a standard encyclopedia.

(4) I got a French mother tongue, so I may make a few mistakes here and there, do not hesitate do do the necessary corrections.

Talk:2012 Summer Paralympics

Comments
Once again we see the "Olympic" page with lots of nice graphics and a long article.....and the Paralympic page mentioning in passing that its happening.

 * Well in least there's six years left to improve this one. Check out 2008 Summer Paralympics which is just as small, but much sooner.--T. Anthony 14:24, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Infobox
I replaced the Olympic Games logo with the Paralympic Games logo, and deleted the caption which stated that the same logo would be used for both games. While the overall branding is identical, the Paralympic Games logo incorporates the logo of the International Paralympic Committee in place of the five Olympic rings. The title at the top of the infobox needs to be changed as well. The Paralympic Games do not use the "Games of the..." format; they should simply be referred to as the XIV Paralympic Games. I'd fix it myself, but the text seems to be buried somewhere in the infobox template and I'm not sure how to go about editing it. - Eron Talk 16:41, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Controversies over Atos Sponsorship
There should be at least a small section 'Controversies' section, mentioning the opposition of many disabled groups towards Atos sponsorship of the event - at least a link to the 'Atos' page on Wikipedia, where some 15 of the suicides attributed to Atos assessments by Coroner's juries are listed. They are well sourced national and local newspaper references, and would be of interest to anyone researching the background to the boycott of the Games by some high profile Paralympians from the UK and other countries.79.75.211.228 (talk) 16:50, 4 March 2012 (UTC)DrLofthouse79.75.211.228 (talk) 16:50, 4 March 2012 (UTC) For political balance, you should include a 'controversies' section, including the impending boycott of the games because 'Atos' are sponsoring the event, and have been implicated in causing numerous suicides by disabled former taxpayers. For example: Two cases involving ex-British services personnel are poor Mr. David Sanderson of Southfield (), and Army Veteran Mark and Helen Mullins of Bedworth(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8878543/Poverty-suicide-couple-had-warned-of-hopeless-situation.html)who committed suicide with his disabled wife .Then, there are the disabled suicides, like Paul Willcoxson, 33, of Corby, Northants, who according to his suicide note, was worried about benefit cuts when he hung himself in April. And Elaine Christian, 57, of Hull, who according to reports of an inquest in July, was worried about a meeting to assess her disability benefits. She was found drowned in a drain with ten self-inflicted cuts to her wrist and had taken painkillers  in case she failed - really 'going for gold' on that one! The Taxpayer's burden was further relieved in March 2010, when Vicky Harrison, a 21-year-old, took her life with a massive overdose of drugs in Darwen, Lancashire. < http://wsws.org/articles/2011/may2011/suic-m18.shtml>. Another 10 benefit-cuts related suicides are:-  1.  2.  3.  4. & 5.  6.  7.  8.  9.  10.  11. Addition to Deaths 4 & 5 Above. Mother was pregnant so her unborn baby died as well. http://www.thefreelibrary.com/PRE…TO+DEATH+HOLDING+SON.-a0213434697

Plus Larry Newman - a good example of a fatal misdiagnosis by Paralympic sponsors 'Atos' - see full story at . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.139.103.26 (talk) 15:26, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

 * It looks like you have a solid bunch of sources, please go ahead and write a section about this issue, just be careful to maintain balance and WP:NPOV. Roger (talk) 08:31, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I went ahead and made a Controversies section like the article for the 2012 Olympics, and put that part about the ticketing issues down there as well. ViperSnake151   Talk  23:35, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Paralympic Games #14 or #15?
In the first line of the article it says it is the fifteen P. Games, however in the infobox (and other articles it says its the fourteenth (XIV)? Could others please confirm. Thanks. Gargarale (talk) 14:49, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

 * ✅ - They are indeed the fourteenth games and not the fifteenth.  Wesley  ☀  Mouse  17:37, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Text copied almost verbatim from Olympics article
While naturally there is a lot of overlap between the two articles, I find it quite jarring to find so many statements about the Olympics in this article. The word "Olympic(s)" occurs far more often in the article than "Paralympic(s)". The Public Transport section doesn't even attempt to address the issue of accessibility for people with disabilities, ignoring simple information such as whether the busses have wheelchair lifts or not. Paralympics attracts spectators with disabilities to a much larger extent than other sporting events, so curious minds want to know if spectator facilities have been planned for accessability too. Roger (talk) 11:43, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have in fact, noticed this too. I actually did change the logo section to instead just say, essentially "The logo's the same as the Summer Olympics logo, but just colored differently. This has never happened before"; I might go over some of these sections and change them to include pointers toward the relevant sections in the Summer Olympics article, but put more emphasis on Paralympics-related content. ViperSnake151   Talk  02:17, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Individual Paralympic Athletes
Various people have removed the IPA flag from the list all stating that there are no entries from the Netherlands Antilles, thus implying that the IPA is used exclusively for competitors from that country/territory. This is patently not true and I cannot understand where that idea comes from. The IPA flag is in fact used for any entrants from any country that does not have a National Paralympic Commitee. The final list of all entrants has not been published yet so how can any editor predict that there will absolutely definitely be no competitors entered under that flag. So please leave the flag in the list until it becomes clear that there is or isn't anyone entered under it. I repeat - the flag is not assigned exclusively to the Netherlands Antilles. Roger (talk) 07:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * In fact the opposite is true. No flag should be added to the list until a competitor is confirmed as competing under it. Until one is the IPA flag (and those of any country yet to confirm an entrant) should be removed - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 09:37, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Not the first paralympics in the UK.
These paralympics are not the first to be held in the UK, they are the first to be held in London, but the UK were the joint hosts of the 1984 Summer Paralympics. Jamc2 (talk) 19:41, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorted. Frans Fowler (talk) 00:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

 * But what I'm really trying to find out is why they hosted it as well. What exactly happened preventing them from doing events for spinal cord injuries in the U.S.? ViperSnake151   Talk  17:16, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Why shouldn't they? This might come as a shock to you... The United States is not the centre of the known universe. The whole Paralympic concept is originally from the UK so it makes far more sense to ask why did the UK not host the entire event - what motivated them to share it with the US? Roger (talk) 17:37, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I actually found out why, by the way; apparently the original host pulled out. Stoke Mandeville volunteered to host part of it because of their experience with the Stoke Mandeville Games. ViperSnake151   Talk  01:53, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Calendar Gold Medals Totals don't add up!
Minor I know! The total number of Athletics gold medals should be 168 (and not 166). Similarly, the total number of Table Tennis gold medals should be 12 (and not 29). Either that, or the day by day medal numbers are wrong. Many thanks! DaveMCrowley (talk) 16:21, 16 August 2012 (UTC)DaveMCrowley

High priority redlinks
There are still two sports that don't have "Main" articles - Shooting at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and Powerlifting at the 2012 Summer Paralympics. Unfortunately I don't have the necessary skills to construct infoboxes and tables, so I'm asking for someone who knows how, to please create (at least the bare bones framework for) these articles as soon as possible. Roger (talk) 12:19, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Participating Nations
On the Participating nations section I have noticed the the list of countires is not compete and it also looks somewhat messy and could do with a few twigs and also to get all counties onto the list who so we have all 160 countries who are involed are competeing and also there are still only a handful of countries where they have their pages for the games at the moment conisdering the games are only ten days away now, I think we should do everything we can to make these paralympics the most detailed to date, I know its harder to get correct information for the paralympics but it still shouldnt be a problem. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 11:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC))
 * I heard a tv news report in South Africa this morning mention that there are 162 countries participating. I just happened to hear it in passing so unfortunately I can't cite it. Roger (talk) 12:56, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

 * With only three days to go the official website still does not have a complete list of particpating countries, not to mention any significant details about each of them. Several sources mention numbers in the region of 160 but one can hardly find two sources to agree on an exact number. Roger (talk) 11:31, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I've begun to use the official website to indicate the number of athletes per country, and to add the countries missing until now in the list. It helps, but unfortunately even this isn't perfect: on the website, Bangladesh and the Republic of the Congo (not the DR Congo) are listed, but without any athletes. Which makes it unclear whether those two countries (and maybe others; I haven't gone through them all) are participating or not. Aridd (talk) 14:07, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've completed the list - I left Bangladesh and Rep. of Congo off as not participating. This news report says the Bangladesh NPC is suspended and this one says Rep of Congo is suspended.
 * There are two problematic cases; Faroe Islands and Jordan - other sources confirm that they are participating but they are not (yet) listed on the official site. Roger (talk) 19:46, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I think that like the 2012 Olympics page there should be a gobal map showing which countries are sending athletes along with a colour codes to show which countires are sending just 1 athlete and ect.(MOTORAL1987 (talk) 21:10, 28 August 2012 (UTC))

About the Sports section
I have a few questions about the Sports section. Firstly, what are the unexplained parenthetical numbers after each sport's name?

Secondly the links from the sport's name in some cases go to the general article about the sport and in others it goes to " at the Summer Paralympics" - which is correct? I think the correct choice is "<Sport> at the Summer Paralympics" because it is more specifically relevant than the general article which covers events outside of the Paralympic Games itself. See for example the difference between Paralympic judo and Judo at the Summer Paralympics. Roger (talk) 13:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * They indicate the number of disciplines. Every other Olympic article has done that. ViperSnake151   Talk  15:07, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Surely you mean "events", not "disciplines". Take for example Boccia, it's a single disipline, but the singles, pairs, and team - in different classes make a total of seven events. Roger (talk) 19:56, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Sighted guides counted or not?
There are discrepancies in some of the team numbers. Some articles count sighted guides as competitors and some don't. The official team listings at www.london2012.com appear not to include them. We need to decide how to handle them consistently to avoid confusing our readers. Roger (talk) 20:19, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * They shouldn't be included here as the counts should be for athletes only. Where known the numbers (and names) of them should be included somewhere within the by nation articles, for example in the GB article I've entered "288 (plus 13 team members)" under the competitors parameter in the infobox. - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 21:16, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If the official website doesn't count them, I suppose we shouldn't. (Though it feels a bit odd to me. After all, they're entitled to a medal if they and the athlete they're guiding win.) (Nice work in filling in the athlete numbers and checking those two suspended NPCs, by the way!) Aridd (talk) 07:27, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * About the medals - yes the guide gets one too but it's not added to the country's "score" - it's like a team event, all the team members get a medal but it's counted as just one. Perhaps a solution for the guides would be to count them as team members but not as competitors? Roger (talk) 07:37, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * We're getting small changes to the numbers of athletes in the countries list. These changes are being made without citation or explanation. The size of the changes (around 2 or 3 added) lead me suspect that they are due to sighted guides being counted in some sources. We need to get this issue settled. Roger (talk) 10:45, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Does anyone have an opinion about this? Roger (talk) 19:00, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Event Templates
I've created templates for all of the events in my sandbox if anyone would like to use them in the "X at the 2012 Paralympics" articles. Of course if you want to use your own you are welcome to do so as well. JoshMartini007 (talk) 18:31, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

 * That's a very useful page - it's easy to see which events don't have heats or semis. Please remove the icons from the section headings - according to WP:MOSHEAD images are not allowed in headings. They also interfere with the way screen readers work to present a section heading to users. That goes for all the articles that have these icons in the headings, please take them out. Roger (talk) 17:42, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Colombia Delegation
Acording to the Paraolympic Colombia Committe, the country will send 39 athletes and not 37. Please correct that information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.244.199.184 (talk) 00:53, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Do you have a source for that? I suspect the difference is probably due to sighted guides being counted differently but I would like to check that. (BTW there is no "o" in "Paralympic".) Roger (talk) 08:39, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Malawi Delegation
The Malawi team has withdrawn from the Games - see BBC article 29 Aug 12-122.57.237.163 (talk) 19:52, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The required amendments to the prose were done.
 * Now, are there any nations whose delegations appeared in the opening ceremony but did not compete at all? (e.g. a small team where they did not start (DNS)?)  This distinction is important as the articles often say the delegations ".. were [sent] to compete ..".  Before we can update the tense of statements like that, we need to ensure that their athletes did actually compete. John Vandenberg (chat) 06:10, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

notability?
I've seen a bunch of these athletes names popping up in articles. Is every paralympic athlete notable enough to be listed here at wikipedia? I'm not really sure of the protocol if someone wants to point me to it, but to put of hundreds of article stubs on things like Falkland Island javelin throwers seems way over the top in this English wikipedia. It's one thing to have him in a list of participants... but whole articles? Just wondering. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:52, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * actually as I read further I see it was already answered in discussions and guidelines. Only paralympic athletes "who medal" are notable enough for an article. Exceptions of course for those very few who get lots of English press coverage... but at least I see where winning medals would slide an athlete into the notable category. Sorry to ask the query before I really dug into wiki protocol for an answer. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:34, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Split off broadcasting?
The broadcasting section should really be split off; some of it is not sourced well, and that kind of stuff could hinder our chances at having this promoted to GA (or maybe even FA; which would be a glorious achievement for the movement ... on Wikipedia at least.) ViperSnake151   Talk  16:15, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes. I've never really seen the purpose of these inevitably incomplete list sections of articles, which will always only reflect the interests of writers rather than readers. Some entries are just factual statements of who had broadcast rights, some contain more details of how the coverage occurred, and still others (e.g. USA) contain commentary on the coverage. All very inconsistent. And then there's the commentaries on British and "American" coverage (the latter actually only the USA) in the Controversies section. All very much reflecting the biases of our editors, rather than a global view. Not a good look. Even in a separate article this would still be pretty crappy content. HiLo48 (talk) 00:17, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

 * The "simple" list of which channels in which countries covered the events should be split off. The controversies about US and British broadcasting should stay - they generated considerable press interest and in the case of the (non)coverage by the US broadcaster criticism, including the IPC President's comments, was reported very widely. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:08, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * After the split, I was going to summarize it down to details on the major countries. ViperSnake151   Talk  15:37, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * How would you decide which are "major countries"and which aren't? Don't go there - see WP:Systemic bias for good reasons not to do it. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:14, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I meant by the countries we had the most details on from reliable sources that I could easily make into something detailed. ViperSnake151   Talk  17:06, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Non-free use rationale for File:2012 Summer Olympics logos.svg
The non-free use rationale for the use File:2012 Summer Olympics logos.svg in this article states that image is being used in the article's infobox. This is not true. The image is being used in 2012 Summer Paralympics. Perhaps whomever added the image, just copied and pasted the non-free rationale for another image or another use. Regardless, the image's non-free rationale should be update accordingly to reflect how the image is actually being used in the article for the rationale to be valid; Otherwise, it runs the risk of being removed per WP:NFCCE. - Marchjuly (talk) 06:48, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Categories
I have changed some of the categories and have included this article in both Category:August 2012 sports events/Category:September 2012 sports events and Category:August 2012 sports events in the United Kingdom/Category:September 2012 sports events in the United Kingdom on the basis that as a truly international event I feel that it is probable that people using categories to search for the 2012 Paralympics would expect to find the main article on the games in the parent category for sporting events by month as well as the sub-sub categories (which being held in the UK it seems logical and appropriate for it to be included in). See also Category talk:2012 Summer Paralympics and Talk:2012_Summer_Olympics for other relevant discussions I have started on this issue as I think consistency here is important. If anyone objects I am happy to discuss further. Dunarc (talk) 21:26, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Silla restoration movement

The Silla restoration movement refers to a series of uprisings in Yeongnam province of Korea in the middle Goryeo dynasty. These were part of a pattern of revolts aimed at restoring one of the old Three Kingdoms of Korea which took place across Korea in the 12th century. Representative Silla restoration revolts include those led by Yi Ui-min in 1186 and by Kim Sa-mi in 1193.

Mohammad Yaqub Khan

Mohammad Yaqub Khan (Pashto/Dari: ; 1849 – November 15, 1923) was Emir of Afghanistan from February 21 to October 12, 1879. He was a Pashtun and the son of the previous ruler, Sher Ali Khan.

Mohammad Yaqub Khan was appointed as the governor of Herat province in 1863. In 1870, he decided to rebel against his father but failed and was imprisoned in 1874.

The Second Anglo-Afghan War erupted in 1878, leading Sher Ali Khan to flee the capital of Afghanistan, and eventually die in February 1879 in the north of the country. As Sher Ali's successor, Yaqub signed the Treaty of Gandamak with Britain in May 1879, relinquishing sole control of Afghanistan foreign affairs to the British Empire. An uprising against this agreement led by Ayub Khan in October of the same year, led to the abdication of Yaqub Khan. He was succeeded by the new ruler, Amir Ayub Khan.

Treaty of Gandamak
During the Second Anglo-Afghan War, the British defeated the Amir Sher Ali's forces, wintered in Jalalabad, waiting for the new Amir Yakub Khan to accept their terms and conditions. One of the key figures in the negotiations was Pierre Louis Napoleon Cavagnari, who served with the East India Army in the 1st Bengal Fusiliers and then transferred into political service, becoming Deputy Commissioner at Peshawar, and was appointed as envoy by the Viceroy Lord Lytton in the 1878 mission to Kabul which the Afghans refused to let proceed. This refusal was one of a series of events which led to the Second Afghan War.

In May 1879, Yakub Khan travelled to Gandamak, a village just outside Jalalabad and entered into negotiations with Cavagnari as a result of which the Treaty of Gandamak was signed whereby the Amir ceded territories to the British and accepted a British envoy in Kabul. Cavagnari took up the post of British Resident in Kabul in July 1879. He was known to be reckless and arrogant rather than discreet and his role as envoy was viewed as injudicious even by some of the British. The situation in Kabul was tense and eventually some Afghan troops who had not been paid by the Amir rebelled and attacked the Residency, killing Cavagnari and his mission in September 1879. The war was far from over despite the treaty and British troops were recalled over the mountains to occupy Kabul, secure it and launch punitive action against the Afghans. Yakub Khan abdicated, taking refuge in the British camp and was subsequently sent to India in December.

In popular culture
Mohammed Yaqub Khan appears in M.M. Kaye's 1978 novel The Far Pavilions. The novel was adapted by a 1984 mini-series, in which Atul Tandon portrayed Khan.

Notable Quotes
I would rather work as your servant, cut grass and tend your garden than be the ruler of Afghanistan. – Yaqub Khan, to a British viceroy in the 19th century''.
