All Is Full of Love

"All Is Full of Love" is a song by Icelandic musician Björk from her third studio album, Homogenic (1997). The lyrics were inspired by love in spring and Ragnarök of Norse mythology. Björk's original version is a trip hop ballad with soul influences, harp, strings, and electronic beats; the version on Homogenic is a minimalist ambient remix by Howie B, emphasising Björk's vocals. A remix by the German IDM duo Funkstörung was released as a single in 1998.

In 1999, "All Is Full of Love" was released as a single with a music video directed by Chris Cunningham. The video uses Björk's original mix, and depicts Björk as a robot being assembled in a factory, who passionately kisses another robot. The video is often cited as one of the best of all time and a milestone in computer animation; it has been displayed in art exhibitions and was on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The single reached number 24 on the UK Singles Chart and became a dance hit in the United States. The original version of "All Is Full of Love" is the opening track on Greatest Hits (2002), whose tracks were voted for by fans. It has been covered by various artists.

Background and composition
"All Is Full of Love", the closing track of Homogenic, was the album's last song to be written and recorded. Produced by Björk, the original version of the song was replaced "at the last minute" with a remixed version by Howie B. It was inspired by the spring while producing the album in Málaga, Spain. After living in the mountains among other people for six months, Björk felt lonely, but a morning walk in April inspired her to write the track. She had a rough winter and then she realised it was spring after she could hear the birds singing. She wrote and recorded the song in half a day.

In keeping with Homogenic's theme as a tribute to Björk's native Iceland, the track was inspired by Icelandic mythology, such as the Ragnarök. The previous track, "Pluto", stands for death and destruction, whereas "All Is Full of Love" stands for a new beginning. Björk also called it a song about "believing in love" and expressed that "love isn't just about two persons. It's everywhere around you. Even if you're not getting love from Person A, it doesn't mean there's not love there." However, she also described it as "taking the piss", considering it the most "sugary song" ever. As the song opposes the rest of Homogenic's "macho" aesthetic, Björk has said it could have been included on Vespertine.

The lyrics begin with a promise of protection and caretaking: "You'll be given love / You'll be taken care of / You'll have to trust it". The song moves towards a more reproachful tone as Björk sings, "You just ain't receiving / Your phone is off the hook / Your doors are shut", tempered by the recognition that you have to "twist your head around you" because "love is all around you". This is musically effected by Björk's vocals as she sings the lyric "All is full of love" in counterpoint with herself.

The album version of the track does not have drum accompaniment. It does not have Homogenic 's characteristic electronic beats, focusing instead on "[creating] an intimacy between the growing dynamics of the instrumentation and Bjork's impressive vocal abilities." It uses a long reverb, which results in a wash of sound that suggests a very large space suggestive of the "heavenly" environment Björk envisaged for the track. According to Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine, the song has a soft pulse with intervals that build up to an electronic orchestration of industrial beats. David Browne of Entertainment Weekly called it a "moony lullaby" and compared it to the music of Enya. In his review for Spin, James Hunter wrote that the track is one of the times Björk "dips her toe into the warm lake of tradition" and noted its "rockish minor-key verses traipse off into her gospel."

The video version of the song is a midtempo trip hop ballad with soul influences. In opposition to the sonically minimalist mix included on the album, this version has been described as "lushly produced" and includes "fluttering" harps and "shivering" strings. Reportedly the best known and the preferred version by Björk's fans and herself, it is further known under the names of "Mark Stent Mix" and "Video Mix".

Release
In August 1998, a 12-inch single of "All Is Full of Love", containing a remix by German IDM duo Funkstörung, was released through FatCat Records as a limited release. This remix had been previously distributed as a B-side for "Hunter" (1998), and another remix of the song had been released as a B-side of "Jóga" in 1998. In January 1999, it was announced that the track would be released later that year as a single and that its music video would be shot soon. It was atypical to release a single for promoting an album released two years before, but Björk purposely decided to do this so that the music video was more of a short film than a marketing move. The original release date for the single was 2 May 1999, but was later extended out two weeks to 17 May. To coincide with this announcement, Funkstörung's remix was made available again and an official logo for the release was unveiled.

The music video was released that April, although the premiere of the single was pushed back to 7 June 1999. "All Is Full of Love" was released as two 12-inch singles, two CD singles, a DVD single, and a box set, which included the CD singles and the music video in VHS format. Some publications regard the single as the first DVD single release. In the United Kingdom, it was also made available as two different promotional singles in 1999, and as two VHS singles. B-sides include remixes by μ-Ziq, Funkstörung, Plaid, Guy Sigsworth, Mark Stent and Howie B. The single's artwork consists of shots from the music video and features the official logo, which can be seen in the video as well. The song was also included as the opening track of Björk's 2002 compilation album Greatest Hits, whose songs were selected by fans through a survey, in which the single was the second most voted song, coming after "Hyperballad" (1996).

Critical reception
Both versions of "All Is Full of Love" received acclaim from music critics. In a review for Homogenic, Phares from AllMusic described the track as a "reassuring finale". Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine called it a "sublime rebirth", and Tiny Mix Tapes commented that "the album ends on an optimistic note" with the "exquisite" song. In a retrospective review, Music Tech described the song as "hauntingly-beautiful." Entertainment Weekly's David Browne was less enthusiastic, considering it "the weakest track" of the album.

In a review for the DVD single, Alex Castle of IGN gave the music a score of 9 out of 10, writing "the thing sounds fantastic" and that the song is "pretty good". However, he admitted that he "would probably not have been particularly impressed" if he hadn't seen the music video. James Oldham of NME described it as "magnificent, sultry, pneumatic trip-soul ballad, which gently blooms into a magical garden of fluttering harps and shivering strings." He also added that the track "is no mere soundtrack" for the video. AllMusic's Heather Phares gave the DVD single four out of five stars, considering it "a necessary addition to the collections of dedicated Bjork fans". Douglas Wolk of CMJ New Music Monthly also gave the single a positive review, commending its B-sides and writing it "was hardly the most striking piece at the time—but the tune turns out to have been something of a sleeper."

Recognition
Blender included the track on two lists: "Standout Tracks from the 500 CDs You Must Own" and "The 1001 Greatest Songs to Download Right Now!", both published in 2003. The staff members of Slant Magazine placed "All Is Full of Love" at number 59 on their list of "The 100 Best Singles of the 1990s", writing: "Though it has been as oft-remixed as any other Björk single from the landmark Homogenic set, no version quite achieves the ethereal effect that the album mix of the song does. Coming off the tail-end of "Pluto," a sonic threnody for a suicidal fan, Björk's open-source, beat-free echo chamber is both absolution and resurrection". The track was also included on Quintessence Editions' "1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die: And 10,001 You Must Download".

Background and development
The music video for "All Is Full of Love" was directed by Chris Cunningham. Björk was impressed by Cunningham's original music videos for IDM musicians Autechre, Squarepusher, and Aphex Twin, and by his clear lines, science fiction inclinations, and discordant imagery. This resulted in Björk contacting him to meet at his London office; she brought a Chinese Kama Sutra as a guide to what she wanted. Cunningham had also associated the track with sex upon hearing it, but could not figure out how to make the video explicit yet broadcastable. Björk said: "I think the only thing I said was that I thought it was very white [...] and I'm trying to describe some sort of a heaven. But I wanted also to have the other level there, there would be lust, it wouldn't be just clean." She complemented saying she mentioned that the video should be "white" and "frozen", and then it "melts because of love" and "making love". When Cunningham first heard the track, he wrote down the words "milk", "sexual", "surgery", and "white porcelain"; they outline what would become the music video. Concerning this, Cunningham added that it was like Kama Sutra meeting industrial robotics and that because of the surreal nature of the images, they could be "sexually suggestive" as they liked. Initially, it was planned that during the visual's ending, the robots would unfold like a flower as they mated, revealing an abstract life form made from the two artificial forms. However, the team could not manage to materialise this thought.

The robots were designed by Cunningham and were built in full-size by Paul Catling—who had also sculpted the masks for Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" (1999)—in clay in two hours. He also worked with Julian Caldow in set design, which was created by Chris Oddy. The treatment described the set as an "elegant" and "white environment" with "a Japanese feel to it". However, the music video's director was dissatisfied with the result and relied heavily on post-production. On the shoot there were two main robot arms, but during its post production, a third and fourth robot arm were created in computer-generated imagery.

The video was shot at Bray Studios and Greenford Studios, and post-production was handled by Glassworks using the software programs Softimage and Flame. Cunningham said that every shot in the clip had four layers. He reportedly first shot the set and the props doing nothing for about 21 seconds, and then removed the robot and replaced it with Björk, who had her face painted white and wore a blue suit. Using a mix of the master shot and a live feed of Björk in frame, the production team tried to match up her face and the robot body as much as possible. Only Björk's eyes and mouth were used, with the rest of the robot representing 3D animation traced from her real head. Cunningham has described the filming process as an unpleasant experience:

"I always think that my strength is [...] sculpting stuff up in [post-production] and then, a lot of the time things are pretty ramshackle while they're shot. And I think that with the video that was the most extreme example of that, I mean it really was a disaster [...] In the Avid, looking at this stuff, it just looked awful and I actually had a panic attack when I went to the telecine to look at the rushes. I just thought 'this is a fucking disaster, [...] so cheap and nasty. At it was only when Glassworks started doing the computer graphics that [...] I started to realise how the video was gonna be made completely with the computer graphic addition."

Björk left Cunningham alone to work for the video, refusing to see the product until it was finished, explaining that "when you come across someone as special as Chris you just go humble", which Cunningham said made the work much easier.

Synopsis
The video begins with a journey through a dark environment wrought with cables and a faint pulsating light. The sequence has been described as "womb-like, voyeuristic, as if the black box of technology is about to open up". The camera follows these cables to an ethereal, white room where a robot with Björk's features lies in a fetal position. As the room becomes illuminated by fluorescent lights flickering on, two mechanical arms begin to assemble the robot, which opens its eyes and begins to sing the song. Pistons pumping white fluids, as well as drilling and penetrative motions are seen, featuring a "clear" sexual subtext.

Now sitting upright, the robot looks up to see another robotic Björk as the machines stop the assembly. It smiles and extends its hand to the sitting robot, joining in the song. In the climax of the video, the robots passionately kiss and embrace while the machines assemble their backs and light comes and goes. The images of the kissing robots are interposed with shots of white fluid washing over robotic parts and the mechanical arms assembling them. According to the Institute for the Unstable Media, "as the music fades and the pulsating beat becomes more dominant, we are once again drawn in the womb-like dark space, making it clear to us that we sampled a glimpse of a black-boxed kingdom".

Reception
The music video was greeted with widespread critical acclaim. Music journalist Mark Pytlik wrote the visual "marked an unquestionable creative apex for Björk's visual work, a perfect synthesis of form and content". IGN gave the video a score of 9/10, writing it is an "utterly gorgeous sight to behold" and "just about perfect". Time's Craig Duff called it a milestone in computer animation and stated that "no robot had expressed the sensuality that director Chris Cunningham imbues in a Björk-bot in the video". MusicRadar considered the music video to be "one of the most visually striking promos of Björk's career." NME also praised the "All Is Full of Love" clip as one of Björk's best, and particularly commended the wide angle shot of the cyborgs kissing as the chorus kicks in. Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine dubbed it "the perfect pre-millennial precursor to our current gadget-assisted culture of self-love" and also wrote, "When it was released, I thought it looked cool and stressed the importance of loving yourself. Now I think it's a terrifying and sealed-off nightmare wherein you find out that you are the only person who will ever love you." Writing for Pitchfork Media, Scott Plagenhoef considered that "the strongest single images from any video of the 1990s come from [the clip]", also calling it "strange and moving". CMJ New Music Monthly's Douglas Wolk called the video "magnificent" and praised it for "[bringing] out the beauty of the song".

Recognition and legacy
The music video has won various awards and accolades. It won the Jury Prize at ArtFutura Festival of 1999, Best Video in the 2000 Fantasporto, Best Video at the 2000 Australian Effects and Animation Festival and Best Art Direction in a Video and Best Special Effects in a Video at the Music Week Awards. Other awards received at festivals include the second place of the Prix PIXEL-INA Best Script in the 2000 Imagina, and the music video award at the London Effects and Animation Festival. At the D&AD Awards, the video was awarded prizes in Video Direction, Cinematography, Animation, and Special Effects. Furthermore, at the MVPA Awards, Cunningham received the award for Best Direction of a Female Artist in a Music Video. Björk won two awards at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000: Breakthrough Video and Best Special Effects in a Video. The music video also received the Best Special Effects in a Music Video and Best 3D Animation Music Video during the 2000 International Monitor Awards. Particularly, the visual won various nominations: Best Video at the 1999 Ericcson Muzik Awards, Best Short Form Music Video at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards, and Best Alternative Video, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing in a Video at the 2000 Music Week Awards.

In 2008, MTV2 ranked the music video as number one on their list "Greatest Music Videos Ever". In 2011, "All Is Full of Love" was placed at number 14 in MusicRadar's list of the 30 best music videos of all time, and was placed in Time's list of The 30 All-TIME Best Music Videos. The video was also listed as the fifth-greatest of all time by NME, and the ninth top music video of the decade by Pitchfork Media. In addition, "All Is Full of Love" has been included in various art exhibitions and museums, including DEAF04 Exhibition in the V2 Institute for the Unstable Media in Rotterdam, Chris Cunningham in MoMA PS1 in New York City, the 49th Venice Biennale, While Interwoven Echoes Drip into a Hybrid Body – an Exhibition about Sound, Performance and Sculpture in the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zürich, and This Is Not a Love Song in La Virreina Centre de la Imatge in Barcelona. The music video was also on permanent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Chris Cunningham served as a model for a character in the novel Pattern Recognition (2003) by William Gibson, in which a fictitious music video director who puts "robot girls in his video" makes a clip characterised by the following words: "No sci-fi kitsch for Damien. Dreamlike things in the dawn half-light, their small breasts gleaming, white plastic shining faints as old marble", as a reference to "All Is Full of Love". In 2004, similarities were noted between the design of the robots in the music video and those in the film I, Robot, raising accusations of plagiarism by fans. E! News contacted Cunningham and 20th Century Fox—the studio behind the film—but neither of them returned calls for comment. According to Tymon Smith of The Times, 2015 American film Chappie "ends with a rip off" of the music video. It also was an inspiration for the opening title sequence of the television series Westworld.

Live performances

Björk first performed "All Is Full of Love" live in July 1997, playing the whole album for a press conference and presentation concert concerning Homogenic at the Old Truman Building, an old beer factory in London, wearing a pink dress designed by Hussein Chalayan, which she would later sport in the video for "Bachelorette" (1997) and photoshoots. The song was part of the set list for her Homogenic tour, on which Björk embarked with Mark Bell and Icelandic String Octet from late 1997 to early 1999. "All Is Full of Love" was also performed during the Vespertine world tour in 2001, which featured Vespertine collaborators Matmos and Zeena Parkins, an Inuit choir, and an orchestra. During the tour, Björk performed in concert halls and opera houses in order to "have the best acoustics possible" and avoid the "appalling acoustics" of stadiums and rock venues. The track was the most performed of the tour, alongside "Frosti" and "Pagan Poetry". Björk's concert at the Royal Opera House of 16 December 2001, which included a performance of the song, was broadcast on BBC Four and released as the DVD Live at Royal Opera House in 2002. A live version of the track can also be found on the tour documentary DVD Minuscule of 2003. A Vespertine tour live version of the song was released through Vespertine Live, a live album of the tour included in the box set Live Box (2003).

The headliner of the 2002 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Björk opened the set with the track, wearing a white Comme des Garçons dress. This performance was included on the 2006 video documentary Coachella. The song was also part of the set list of the Greatest Hits tour (2003), which once again featured the Icelandic String Octet, but with the addition of Vespertine world tour collaborators Matmos and Zeena Parkins. It was one of the most played songs of the tour. Björk's performance of the song in New York City during the tour was included in the 2005 documentary film Screaming Masterpiece. "All Is Full of Love" was also performed during the Volta tour (2007–08), a tour she undertook with Mark Bell, Jónas Sen, Damian Taylor, Chris Corsano, and a 10-piece female brass band. Several of the concerts were part of festivals, including Coachella, Glastonbury, and Rock en Seine, among others. A live performance of the track during the tour was included in the box set Voltaïc (2009), specifically the CD Songs from the Volta Tour Performed Live at the Olympic Studios. The track was also performed a few times during Björk's Biophilia tour (2011–13). The song was performed only once on the 2015 Vulnicura tour.

Cover versions
In 2001, American indie rock band the Microphones covered "All Is Full of Love" for their 2001 studio album, Blood. It was also covered by Death Cab for Cutie and was released on their 2002 The Stability EP. The Vitamin String Quartet, a musical group known for its tributes to popular music acts, covered the track as part of their 2005 tribute to Björk Violently: The String Quartet Tribute To Bjork. In 2022, Rosie Thomas covered "All Is Full of Love" with guest vocalists including Sufjan Stevens and the Shins.

Let Me Hold You

"Let Me Hold You" is a song by American rapper Bow Wow. It was the first single off his fourth album, Wanted (2005). Released on March 11, 2005, the song features American R&B singer Omarion (the first collaboration they did together). It was co-written and co-produced by frequent producer Jermaine Dupri and No I.D. and uses a sample of Luther Vandross' 1985 version of Brenda Russell's "If Only for One Night".

The song received positive reviews from critics. "Let Me Hold You" peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, making this the first top 10 hit for both Bow Wow and for Omarion as a solo artist. It also became a number-one hit for both artists on the Hot Rap Songs chart and stayed there for seven weeks. The song also peaked at numbers 2 and 10 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Mainstream Top 40 charts respectively, and reached the top 40 in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the UK. The song was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over 1,000,000 copies. A music video, directed by Bryan Barber, was made to promote the single and featured Bow Wow and Omarion hanging out at a house party.

Background
Bow Wow had publicly announced his interpretation of the song's meaning as he stated in an interview with MTV: "'Basically the song is me talking to a girl and telling her, 'These are the things I can do for you. Let me hold you down. This is what I want to do for you as a man. These are the things I'm capable of doing for you if you get with me. Just hear me out.' I'm just really talking to the ladies. The song is really special to me, and I love that song.'" The collaboration began when Bow Wow was talking with producer Jermaine Dupri about the song and how he suggested on getting Omarion to appear on the track.

In a 2011 retrospective of his previous hits with Complex, producer No I.D. said that this was the first time he worked with Dupri and was asked by him to bring over his samples to pick one that would be used for a single to finish off the album. He played him the Luther Vandross sample and was hesitant about his initial reaction at first before thinking it over and seeing its potential as a smash hit.

Composition
"Let Me Hold You" was co-written and co-produced by Jermaine Dupri and No ID. It features a sample of Luther Vandross' version of "If Only for One Night", written and originally performed by Brenda Russell. The song is in 4/4 time and in the key of E♭ minor.

Critical reception
The song received positive reviews from music critics. AllMusic's David Jeffries put it alongside "Like You" as the album's highlights that work "on a more adult level." Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews praised the production by Dupri and No ID for their clever take on the sample, Bow Wow's lyrics and Omarion's guest vocal performance. Angie Romero of Vibe praised the sing-song hook for making the track "undeniably catchy."

Commercial performance
"Let Me Hold You" debuted at number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of May 21, 2005. Three weeks later, it moved twenty-two spots from number 73 to 51 for the week of June 11, 2005. It moved eleven spots from number 28 to 17 for the week of July 2, 2005. It moved four spots from number 15 to 11 for the week of July 16, 2005. It reached the top ten for the week of July 23, 2005, at number eight. It reached its peak at number four and spent a total of 24 weeks on the chart. With the release of "Let Me Hold You", Bow Wow achieved his first top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing his 2003 hit "Let's Get Down" which peaked at number 14. The song was also Omarion's first top-10 hit as a solo artist, although he previously had a number-one hit with "Bump, Bump, Bump" as a member of B2K.

"Let Me Hold You" was Bow Wow and Omarion's first entry on the Pop 100, where it peaked at number 14. On the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, the single peaked at number two. The song also became a number-one hit for both artists on the Hot Rap Songs chart for seven weeks and the Rhythmic Top 40 chart for five weeks. On May 14, 2006, "Let Me Hold You" was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over 1,000,000 copies in the United States.

Music video
The song's music video, directed by Bryan Barber, features Bow Wow attempting to woo a girl with mixed results. After surprising her at her house, the two attend a house party, but problems arise as she is less social than Bow Wow, who begins talking to other girls. After a brief reconciliation, the two argue again over the music at the party. Once again, the two are able to reconcile, but things remain awkward, and they do not communicate on their return home. The video appears to be an unresolved cliffhanger, but a "to be continued" title is shown as the video ends. (The video's story is continued in Bow Wow's next video, "Like You".) The video features a cameo from the song's co-producer, Jermaine Dupri.

Live performances
"Let Me Hold You" was a staple at concerts for Bow Wow's 2005 summer tour Scream Tour IV. It was performed at the 2005 American Music Awards on November 22, 2005, as part of a medley with Bow Wow's "Like You" and Omarion's "O".

Vassily Balabanov

Vasily Vasilyevich Balabanov (Василий Васильевич Балабанов; 30 January 1873 – 27 January 1947) was a former governor of Turkestan in Imperial Russia, a governor of Semirechye, an SR and a commissar of the Russian Provisional Government.

Biography
Vasily Balabanov was the third of five children of Vasily Stepanovich Balabanov and Maria Muravskaya.

In 1892 he was married for the first time. In 1894 Balabanov graduated from Moscow University and returned to the family estate in Bakhmut. He was noted for being sympathetic to the peasants and helped modernize methods and improve conditions.

In 1905 he visited Asiatic Russia, impressed with the vastness and available land for the poor Russian peasants. He went to Moscow with his idea and came back with the backing of the government.

Balabanov received the title of 'Minister of Resettlement of Turkestan' and helped the new arrivals settle in the area.

His first wife died after 4 children (Galina, Sergey, Alexey and Klara) and Balabanov married Anastasia Kvasnicki from Odessa, the daughter of a Jewish merchant with whom he had three children, Vladimir, Basil and Taras.

In 1913 Balabanov was appointed governor-general of the Turkestan Province. He spent time with dignitaries, and had one of the few automobiles in this remote area. Although he didn't live in a palace, the official house was large and it had many staff in attendance.

With the start of World War I in 1914 the Tsar needed soldiers from the peasants and Balabanov had to balance this with keeping enough farmers in the fields to produce enough food for everyone. As a result few staff were available to take care of his offices and home. In 1915 his 18 year old nanny was pregnant and his wife left. His nanny Vera Afanaseva continued to care for his children who were not allowed to leave.

Russian Civil War
By 1919 the Russian Revolution had reached Turkestan. For many months there was fighting between the reds and whites, with one side taking a town only to be taken back a few days later. Balabanov spent a great deal of time working with Alexander Dutov and General Grigory Semyonov in diplomacy. One time Dutov sent Balabanov to convince Semyonov to join him in an attack. Semyonov claimed Balabanov was no longer the Governor because the government no longer gave support. Semyonov though wrote out appointments to Balabanov's three sons as Lieutenants.

Balabanov was imprisoned several times by the reds narrowly escaping with his life, once being freed by a newly made red who remembered his helpfulness, once survived because the man next to him was the one who got shot. Another time the reds broke into the government house, took all his valuables and destroyed anything else.

He refused the French offer of sanctuary but with the help of Dutov he escaped through the mountainous passes with his younger children, third wife, and trusted officers to China in 1920. One of the passes he had to pass was through a red blockade by walking quietly at night.

He settled in the border area for about 6 months helping the anti-Bolsheviks until an assassination attempt (a 10,000 ruble reward was posted for him) forced him to flee with his family overland to Hankou, passing through the Gobi Desert. However, Alexander Dutov was assassinated when he escaped to China.

At the time China did not recognize the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, and Balabanov being invited to China by the Governor of the nearest Province as an equal was supplied with a small stipend while in China to pay for expenses.

When he and his family had arrived in Hankou, after 6 months of hard travel, and he went to the best hotel in the city, he startled the hotel management by his appearance, with dirty furs and ragged clothing, they were almost kicked out of the hotel until Balabanov gave proof of his identity.

Balabanov and his family stayed in Hankou for 6 years before emigrating to Vancouver on the RMS Empress of Russia with the help of Western Missionaries in Shanghai.

He settled with his family (Clara, Basil, Taras, Galina and Olga) and lived on a farm in Richmond, Vancouver, and in Grand Forks, British Columbia.

In spite of his background Vasile spent the remainder of his life working as a labourer because he never learned to speak English. He died in 1947.

Talk:RoboCup

NOT autonomous
The humanoids in the Robocup are not currently full-sized, and neither are autonomous. They are controlled with remote control. Filur 05:47, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Fixed --Phanton 16:48, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

No, they are autonomous. There are obstacle courses, penalty kick challenges, etc. all done with autonomous, humanoid robots. Not full size though. Sancho McCann 09:58, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

 * You mean they just build and program their robot teams, set them down in a field, and turn them on and watch? Like matching two autonomous computer chess programs together? It's not at that point yet.

 * Yes, it is. The official rules of the 2006 humanoid league state: "Robots participating in the Humanoid League competitions must act autonomously while a competition is running. No external power supply, teleoperation, remote control, or remote brain of any kind is allowed." See: http://www.humanoidsoccer.org/rules/HumanoidLeagueRules2006.pdf Colin M. 14:42, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Soccer vs Football
On the official RoboCup.org website they refer to RoboCupSoccer and not RoboCup football.

Hence I have changed all occurances of football to soccer in accordance with the official naming of the RoboCup events.

--Phanton 16:52, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

It should be football as that is the common word used in the world. Soccer is exclusively an American term, and they barely play the game, just because a site about this article uses the word soccer doesn't indicate we should. We are an international not an American encyclopedia, SqueakBox 16:57, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, quite a few countries such as:
 * Australia
 * Canada
 * Ireland
 * United States
 * New Zealand
 * South Africa
 * Marshall Islands
 * Samoa

All prefer to use "soccer" rather than "football".

There is also an issue of confusion.

From Football (word):
 * The word "football" may mean any one of several games, in different parts of the English-speaking world. Because of the existence of different kinds of "football", controversy — usually friendly in nature — may result from unqualified usage of the word.

 * "Football" (or "foot-ball") originally referred to a wide variety of games played in medieval Europe, which were played on foot — that is, by peasants — as opposed to the games played by horse-riding aristocrats. The name was used initially for any game played on foot with a ball, not just those that involved kicking a ball.

Soccer only has one meaning, whereas Football can refer to any number of different games.

Take a look at the 2050 vision again:
 * By 2050, develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world champion team in soccer.

And that comes from "a site" which happens to be the official body of RoboCup, which founded the RoboCup 2050 vision, and organises all international RoboCup events and competitions.

I feel that they've made quite clear that (for reasons of clarity?) the official reference to the game should be soccer rather than football (in the context of RoboCup).

The site I quoted was not just any old site, it is the FIFA of RoboCup and therefore lays out the rules and standards of the competition.

--Phanton 02:24, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

The use of "soccer" in this context is correct. I've been involved with RoboCup for about three years and have never heard any RoboCup researchers use the term "robot football" to describe their own work, despite the fact that many top RoboCup teams are from Europe. Search on scholar.google.com for "robot soccer" and "robot football" and you will find that there are 3,450 papers mentioning "robot soccer", with only 162 papers mentioning "robot football". Also, the official proceedings of the RoboCup Symposium are always titled like "RoboCup-98: Robot Soccer World Cup II". Colin M. 13:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

What year is this?
Under "Previous competitions" it mentions year 2007. I was under the impression that this is still year 2006. Need rewording. Shinhan 16:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Changed the heading to "Venues". –Mysid(t) 17:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

interwikilink is wrong
The german interwikilink to Roboterfußball is wrong, since it is an article about robotic soccer in general and not the RoboCup in particular, which is found at de:RoboCup in the german-language Wikipedia. Sadly the interface of Wikidata is not working and only smashes errors at me without helping me to solve the issue. 78.35.214.143 (talk) 21:43, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I think the problem is that there are now two pages of wikidata that need to be merged:
 * Q1137707
 * Q14524871
 * However, I'm not familiar enough with Wikidata to understand how that can be accomplished. PhilKnight (talk) 21:52, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Ok, instead of giving endless error messages, the site now seems to be working, and I've (hopefully) fixed the issue. Thanks for raising this. PhilKnight (talk) 01:04, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Hidden Place

"Hidden Place" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer Björk for her fourth studio album Vespertine (2001). Written and produced by Björk herself, "Hidden Place" was released as the lead single from Vespertine on 30 July 2001 by One Little Indian Records.

Background
In 2000, while Björk worked on the film Dancer in the Dark, she also began producing her next album, writing new music and teaming with new collaborators; she has said "Selmasongs was the day job and Vespertine was the hobby". Her new relationship with artist Matthew Barney and the tension while filming Dancer in the Dark have been referred to as the two major forces that shaped what would become Vespertine. As the process of filming demanded her to be extroverted, the new music she was creating became hushed and tranquil as a way to escape. Björk commissioned Valgeir Sigurðsson to relocate some of his studio equipment from Iceland to Denmark, where Dancer in the Dark was being filmed. While living in Copenhagen she also contacted the electronic musician Thomas Knak (aka Opiate), after having enjoyed his 1999 album Objects for an Ideal Home. Björk's musical taste shifted from the "clang and clatter" and "thumping techno that characterized Homogenic, as she "was bored with big beats".

Björk then set to make a record with a domestic mood featuring "everyday moods and everyday noises translating into melodies and beats," hence its working title Domestika. As she wanted to write her own songs in music boxes, Björk contacted a music box company, requesting see-through acrylic glass boxes because she wanted it to sound "as hard as possible, like it was frozen." She also began to use her laptop to write music, and decided to use instruments whose sound wouldn't be compromised when downloaded from sites such as Napster. Björk completed: "I had loads and loads of beats for 'Hidden Place' but it still wasn't up enough. Matthew Herbert came for a visit in the studio and offered to do it. He ran away to his studio and came back after a few hours later with a DAT". She explains the song's title: 'Hidden Place' is sort of about how two people can create a paradise just by uniting. You've got an emotional location that's mutual. And it's unbreakable. And obviously it's make-believe. So, you could argue that it doesn't exist because it's invisible, but of course it does.

Music and lyrics
"Hidden Place" features choirs of space sirens, and lyrically is about a new love that has a private side. "I'm not sure what to do with it or where to put it/ I'll keep it in a hidden place", Björk sings. According to The Wire magazine, the song "hints at the extent to which her lyrics parallel their fragile musical arrangements: 'I'm so close to tears and so close to simply calling you up/ I'm simply suggesting/ We go to that hidden place'". For Ryan Schreiber of Pitchfork the track opens Vespertine with a "glitchy, almost lo-fi melodic loop, paired with the deep sub-bass attack that has dominated the low-end of Björk's music in recent years". MusicOMH's Michael Hubbard noted that it is reminiscent of Björk's previous single "Hunter" (1997), although he felt the beats were not "so central this time round".

Critical reception
"Hidden Place" received positive reviews from music critics. Greg Kot from Blender magazine commented that album openers "Hidden Place" and "Cocoon" "live up to their billing as sound sanctuaries, with Björk singing a barely-above-a-whisper lullaby enhanced by the plush embrace of a choir". David Fricke of Rolling Stone called it "floating beauty". British magazine NME's Joe Logic was also positive saying, "'Hidden Place' is a mellow and low-key opener that combines Matmos sneezing-cricket beats with deep warm bass and a distant choir. The chorus is almost mantra-like, drawing you further into this immeasurably gorgeous record". However, Steve Granlee from The Boston Globe commented that "Hidden Place" was "a subtle update" of "Human Behaviour", but "it won't have any radio appeal". Katy Widder of PopMatters shared a similar sentiment, saying the song "is by no means top 40 material".

Music video
The music video for "Hidden Place" was co-directed by designers M/M (Paris) and photographers Inez and Vinoodh. It was shot in four days in February 2001 in London. It was originally planned for a song from Selmasongs, but Björk felt the project was more appropriate for Vespertine. The video consists of close-up shots panning around Björk's face, as fluids flow in and out of her facial orifices. M/M (Paris) explained the concept behind the video: "We always wanted to get as close to her as we could, as we all felt she had never been portrayed as the "real" and beautiful woman she is. This is somehow taboo, to observe a pop star with no makeup from a distance of half an inch. Then the idea of the liquid works as a visualization of all possible emotions pulsating and circulating in her very busy brain. The loop idea was a main point for us as well, trying to extend the usual time frame of pop video super-fast editing, to make it hypnotising, mesmerising and irritating, like an eternally burning fireplace."

The Jury (TV serial)

The Jury is a British television serial broadcast in 2002 (with a second series in 2011). The series was the first ever to be allowed to film inside the historic Old Bailey courthouse.

Series One
The killing of a 15-year-old-boy rocks the nation, as a Sikh classmate of the boy is charged with the murder. The trial, which is engulfed in protests and media speculation, brings together 12 jurors who find themselves having to make a decision that the entire country is waiting for.

The jurors include: Charles, a young man who has left the seminary to search for his lost love; Elsie, an old lonely woman who is dying; Johnny, a recovering alcoholic; Rose, a beautiful woman whose husband is paranoid in the aftermath of a car accident; Jeremy, a once-wealthy family man who lost all his money when conned by a friend in a bad investment; Peter, who wants to be a good and impartial juror at the trial but is besieged by his wife's parents, who want to get involved; and Marcia, a single mother who is forced to let her mother back into her life during the trial.

The victim, John Maher, was stabbed twenty-eight times on his way to school one morning. His classmate, Duvinder Singh, is accused.

 * Episode 1

Prosecutor Gerald Lewis gives his version of events, painting Singh as a psychopath. The Maher family threaten Singh when he arrives in court, and later they decide to influence the jurors. Rose and Johnnie flirt, Jeremy discovers that the friend who conned him is a juror on another trial, Charles searches for Isobel his lost love, and Peter - against his instincts - tells his in-laws all about the case.

 * Episode 2

Singh is abused by a prison warden; the prosecution argues that Singh stole a sword, killed Maher, threw the evidence into the river and fled; Rose and Johnny have lunch; Jeremy runs into Mark Waters who claims he would have saved Jeremy if he could; Elsie befriends Charles, and later learns she will need to undergo surgery; Charles meets his best friend, Sebastian (uncredited Darren Boyd) and learns Isobel has moved on from him; Rose's husband Len grows suspicious of her; Peter's in-laws investigate the evidence; and Marcia - angry that she has to keep her mother in her life - receives a phone call telling her that, for the sake of her family, she had better vote guilty.

 * Episode 3

Len follows Rose to the trial and sees her with Johnny; Marcia receives further threats but - after telling the Judge - agrees to stay on, although the Judge says if any other juror is influenced, he will call for a retrial; Elsie learns that she may need a transplant; Cording, the defence attorney, learns of a psychopath who was arrested on the day of the crime near the scene; Duvinder takes the stand, claiming he stole the sword and planned to kill Maher but then backed out, dropped the sword and fled; Peter is threatened.

 * Episode 4

Peter decides against telling the Judge he was threatened, since he is so enjoying the trial; Lewis cross-examines Duvinder which makes him look very guilty and the Mahers decide he will be found thus; Johnny and Rose meet at lunch again and tell each other how they feel but decide they cannot start a relationship at this point, although Len - who is spying on them - doesn't realise this; Peter's father-in-law comes up with his own theory about why the police did not find the evidence supposedly dumped in the river; the woman attacked by the psychopath on the day of the crime testifies; Cording accuses the police of racial profiling; Jeremy's friend informs him of another stock, this one for real, and Jeremy considers it; Charles and Elsie - now both alone - bond; and after an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Johnny is bashed by Len.

 * Episode 5

Jeremy takes the stock, giving up his deeds to his home as insurance; Lewis and Cording make their closing statements; Charles leaves the seminary for good; Rose learns that Len bashed Johnny; the jury are taken into their room to deliberate, where they vote for Eva as foreperson; an initial vote reveals that opinion is divided, while Rose and Johnny are surprised by each other's vote; Eva's style is not liked by all, so she steps down and Peter is elected without even standing for the job; going home for the night, Rose tells Len she wants to leave him; looking after Elsie, Charles realises that his place is with the priesthood after all; Peter's father-in-law turns up at his house with what he claims to be important evidence, but Peter does not listen; and the Maher family decide to kill Duvinder if he is found innocent.

 * Episode 6

Johnny slips back into drinking; Marcia befriends her mother; the jurors re-enact the crime and each person's individual experiences and prejudices begin to come through; Peter finally speaks out in Duvinder's defence and, when the judge is willing to accept a 10-2 vote, Rose becomes the key between guilty and not-guilty: she finally votes not-guilty. After the verdict is read, Peter's father-in-law tells him that there is a part of the river that he found out was never searched and the evidence could still be there. Peter refuses to listen. Johnny and Rose kiss, but admit that they need more time before they can start a relationship. As the Singh family leave the country, John Maher's father goes to the airport with a gun to kill him but instead kills himself. Jeremy pulls out of the stock at the last minute, only for it to go sailing high. Peter, beginning to fear his father-in-law was right, goes to the river to try to find the evidence but cannot.

Six months later, the jurors reunite for Elsie's funeral at which Charles, now a priest, reads the last rites. Johnny and Rose agree to get together. Peter says goodbye to them with a pained look on his face, now uncertain as to whether Duvinder Singh was guilty or innocent.

Series Two
The second series is entirely unconnected with the first, and was broadcast in 2011. It concerns the retrial of Alan Lane, who was convicted five years earlier of the murder of three women whom he'd met through an Internet dating site. John Mallory QC acts for the prosecution; Emma Watts QC, for the defence. The jurors include Paul Brierly, a single man looking after his mother; Katherine Bulmore, a teacher who has had an affair with a 17-year-old pupil; Tahir Takana, a Sudanese immigrant waiting to get a visa to join his brother in the US; Lucy Cartwright, the assistant of businesswoman Theresa Vestry who takes Theresa's place on the jury; Rashid, a quiet young man with Asperger's Syndrome, who lives with his parents; Kristina Bamford, a lonely woman; and Ann Skailes, a devout Christian.

The lives of 12 people are turned upside down when they are summoned for jury duty in a controversial murder retrial. New evidence has come to light calling into question the conviction of Alan Lane, who was found guilty almost five years previously of killing three women he met on the internet. Julie Walters stars as defence barrister Emma Watts, with Roger Allam, John Lynch and Steven Mackintosh. John Mallory calls his witnesses to the stand, before the evidence against Lane is examined and argued by Watts. The jurors' complicated lives unfold as the mysterious woman tells Paul she was a member of the jury in the original trial, lonely Kristina creates an internet dating profile, and Lane writes back to Ann. Watts cross-examines Howson, the man in charge of the investigation into Alan Lane, Tahir tells Jeffrey about his experience in Sudan, and Paul and Tasha grow closer over lunch. Katherine prepares to make a big decision and Kristina gets out of her depth when she goes to meet her internet date Lane takes the stand, Jeffrey waits anxiously as Tahir finds out about his US visa, and Tasha tells Paul some shocking facts about the collapse of the first trial. The jurors retire to consider their verdict. Paul tells the other members of the jury what he knows as they struggle to reach a majority verdict, while Lane and Watts anxiously await the outcome. Rashid gives Paul information that makes him question everything, and Tasha has some explaining to do when the jurors' decision is delivered.

The sound
One of the characteristics of the 212 in comparison to most heli's is the extremely long-distances at which they can be heard as they approach you. I remember hearing one approach from well over 15 km as a kid, and recently almost repeated this feat (10 km at least) at Whistler. The "whump whump" sound it totally unique in my experience, but I haven't heard an original UH-1...

So what causes this sound? The 412 definitely doesn't make it, at least to anywhere near the same amount. It doesn't sound like the sort of "sonic whine" you get from high-speed props either. So anyone know what the cause of this is?

UN Peacekeeping Air Unit
This operator was added by User:202.37.68.34. I have fact tagged it because I cannot find any reference to such a unit. In my experience flying 212s for the UN in Central America they contract companies to provide aircraft or ask nations to provide military aircraft on an ad-hoc basis. As far as I can find out there is no "UN Peacekeeping Air Unit". Can someone else add any clarification to this? If not then I will remove it. - Ahunt (talk) 12:06, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank You Bu3aDeL Bu3aDeL (talk) 15:18, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your comment here. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not an aircraft flight manual it only includes key numbers and not all available specs on any given aircraft. The templates only support certain specs to prevent the inclusion of numbers from getting out of hand. The templates have been worked out through the building of consensus amongst editors working on the WikiProject Aircraft over several years. They are subject to change from time to to time. I would suggest you have a look at the project pages, in particular the talk page for the templates and consider joining the project to participate in the discussions of what specs go into the templates. - Ahunt (talk) 15:28, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The spec list a newer flight manual version as reference: Bell 212 Rotorcraft Flight Manual BHT-212IFR-FM-1 revision 3, 1 May 1998. -Fnlayson (talk) 15:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The specs above are also for a different version, the Agusta AB212, so may be different on that basis, too. - Ahunt (talk) 15:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * For years, the article has said that the B212 has one engine, when in fact it's a twin. But I don't understand how to use the provided template.Santamoly (talk) 09:12, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Corrected, it is an old template and uses "number of props" to mean number of engines ! MilborneOne (talk) 15:48, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * It's always been my understanding that the PT6T is treated as one engine, though with two coupled PT6 power sections. That's why it listed one engine in the specs, as it doesn't have two PT6Ts installed. - BilCat (talk) 15:57, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Bill is right, it is a single engine unit with two power sections. - Ahunt (talk) 16:03, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * My printed sources also list the Bell 212 and 412 as having one PT6T engine, not two. See here for an online source that is a reprint of a paper source. - BilCat (talk) 16:06, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * The PT6T is actually an engine that consists of two PT6 power sections and a combining gearbox that outputs their combined torque to a shaft to the transmission. Even though it has two "power sections" it is a single engine by itself. The military call the combined set up a T400. - Ahunt (talk) 16:12, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Thanks for clarification, is it true for some of the other twin hueys like UH-1Y which says two-engines! MilborneOne (talk) 16:56, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * No, the UH-1Y uses 2 General Electric T700 engines. - BilCat (talk) 17:19, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * The Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba used in the Fairey Gannet also had two power sections with a combining gearbox. To my knowledge, the Gannet is considered a single-engine aircraft, and our specs section lists only 1 engine. - BilCat (talk) 19:50, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * To a large extent this is really just a wording issue. I flew UH-1Ns/CH135s/212s for two decades and most people, including pilots and mechanics, talk about them as being a twin-engined 205. Officially it is a "single engine with two power sections", but it could just as easily been called "two engines connected to a common gearbox". That said, at any weights above pretty much "empty" the second engine just takes you to the scene of the crash. It doesn't sustain altitude well on one "power section" at heavier weights. Landing it on one "power section" without over-temping, over-torquing or over-speeding it takes a very flat approach and a run-on landing, too, even at near empty weights. - Ahunt (talk) 23:11, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Archives

 * Talk:Neo-evangelicalism/Archive1

Is Evangelicalism, or not?
Pollinator, you seem to feel that it is an error to say that today's (Neo-)evangelical movement is an heir to the fundamentalist movement. Can you explain why you think so? And what do you mean by "Neo-evangelicals who had come out of fundamentalism were indistinguishable from tradtitional Evangelicals. What does that mean? At what point were they formerly distinguishable from "traditional Evangelicals"? This is the same kind of confusion that the first version of the article underwent.  You called "very distorted" what I think I can support from Carpenter's and  Hatch's work, but I'm not sure even what your version means.  Can you help to clarify?  Mkmcconn (Talk)  06:07, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

I guess the real question is, what do you think fundamentalism was at that time? When do you think that "Evangelicalism" became separate from "Fundamentalism" (80s and 90s) is a very late date - much, much to late, to be bold about the matter. The rise of Billy Graham is a significant catalyst for accelerating this split (in the 50s and 60s). Mkmcconn (Talk) \

I'll have to wait a few days, before I can get the books I need to make my point; but in the meantime, would you explain your point of view? Similarly, in the Evangelical article, a paragraph says that there is, paraphrasing, "significant cross-pollination between the Evangelicals and the Fundamentalists". I would strongly contest that, if the sentence is intended to speak of the separated parties. Mkmcconn (Talk) 15:24, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I decided to go ahead and fix what I was having a problem with. I hope it meets the goal you had in your changes, also. Mkmcconn (Talk)  05:58, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

TOCleft
I'm ambivalent about the use of TOCleft in this article. Although I think it is an improvement, as I compare the two versions, before and after, it seems that one kind of obtrusiveness is exchanged for another. The regular TOC isolates the very brief introductory paragraph, so that the most important single sentence of the article is visually blocked out. But the TOCleft is also a bit distracting, alongside the text. The problem will be worse if lengthy header titles are added to this article. I'm inclined to keep the TOCleft, in preference to the more distracting problem caused by the ordinary TOC; but, we should keep an eye on the relative width of the block, IMHO. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 16:37, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Distracting blank spaces
Formatting that encases the framed table of contents in text, in just the way a framed map or image is enclosed within the text, is now available: in the HTML does the job.

Blank space opposite the ToC, besides being unsightly and distracting, suggests that there is a major break in the continuity of the text, which may not be the case. Blanks in page layout are voids and they have meanings to the experienced reader. The space betweeen paragraphs marks a brief pause between separate blocks of thought. A deeper space, in a well-printed text, signifies a more complete shift in thought: note the spaces that separate sub-headings in Wikipedia articles.

A handful of thoughtless and aggressive Wikipedians revert the "TOCleft" format at will. A particularly aggressive de-formatter is User:Ed g2s

The reader may want to compare versions at the Page history. --Wetman 20:11, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

TO: ALL
I read the neo-evanglicalism subject area. I realize some fundamentalist neglect good works or being salt in the society and spend all their time focusing on doctrine. However, there are plenty of charitable and salt like fundamentalist who are active in politics and do not just focus on abortion, homosexuality, etc. I think that overly broad brush strokes are being employed. I also think that not all fundamentalist are confrontational which the article seems to imply. I, for example, a fundamentalist, successfully resisted the temptation of putting a POV tag on it. LOL

I also think just because you do not want to do crusades with liberal organizations that deny scriptural authority that does not mean you are being unreasonable or an "evil shunner". In short, being a fundamentalist does not make you hate mainline church members or rail at non Biblical inerrantist or Spong everyday.

After all is said and done, I am merely asking for reasonable balance and not overly broad brush strokes. I am trying to be fair and reasonable here and realize that fundamentalist have had their shortcomings but neo-evangalicalism article seems to be pushing neo-evangelicalism.

I will make some changes so it the broad brush strokes are avoided. I did that earlier but it breaks the flow.

 * I agree with you, ken; there is a tendency to describe this disagreement in a way that one side comes out looking as though Wikipedia endorses one side rather than the other. That means that there is work to do in getting it "right" in our description. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 00:16, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

It is now June 10th 2007 and I think this article is well rounded.

avoid counter-arguments
I am speaking for myself here, but perhaps others agree. I have said many times that that an argumentative style reduces readability and lowers the quality and credibility of any article. "B says A about C" is easy to understand. But "B says A about C; C denies A and rather says D about A" is not at all easy to understand. It looks like committee work.

OK. So, WP is the work of a committee; but we don't have to make it obvious. Let each section describe a position clearly and without interruption. Then the opposition should reply without interruption. Please look at the most recent edits, and you'll see what needs to be done, I think. See what I mean? — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 00:46, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

to mark
I didn't know how to do the footnotes but I added the fundamentalists critique of neoevangelicism with the way I knew how to footnote it. I see problems with many fundamentalists but I also see problems with neoevangelicism. You could say I am a funda-neo-evangelical. LOL I do think my adjustments were fair and made the article more balanced.

I added this to the intro:

Fundamentalist, on the other hand, saw themselves as more willing to publically confront Church apostacy and personal immorality and than neoevangelicals which they thought has its place and can be constructive. In short, they saw the neoevangelicals as often being too concerned about social acceptance and intellectual respectability and being too accommodating to a perverse generation that needed correction. In addition, they saw the efforts of Billy Graham who worked with more liberal mainline demonominations as a mistake and they tended to support their own evangelists.

I added this to the end:

However, some fundamentalist claim that a loss of Biblical authority eventually occured in neoevangelicalism in regards to the doctrine of Biblical inerrancy which they see as being a true doctrine because many neoevangelicals no longer hold this doctrine.

"Bible-believing"
"There was a split within the fundamentalist movement, as they disagreed among themselves about how a Bible-believing Christian ought to respond to an unbelieving world."

The expression "Bible-believing Christian" is dependent upon a particular point of view as to what it means to be "Bible-believing". It doesn't simply mean a person who believes in the authority of the Bible, or it's historical truth, or it's moral value. Yet many would quite reasonably characterise the aforementioned as being people who are "Bible-believing", not least of all the individuals themselves. I believe that some groups equate the words "Bible-believing" with the belief that the Bible is the sole infallible rule of faith, and that the author intended to give it this meaning. Given it's unique usage, it should be enclosed in inverted commas or made more neutral.

History: POV-section
Marked section History as WP:POV, since it is written like Neo-evangelicalism is working, while the text indicates that the claim is actually made by Tim Keller. The section doesn't make a distinction between the claims of the authors referred to, and the claims made by Wikipedia. This makes the section, unintendedly, look like Wikipedia is vindicating Neo-evangelicalism. Wikipedia is neutral, since it is intended to be a fact reference to all humankind irrespective of religion. Said: Rursus ☻ 07:22, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Merge
Evangelicalism and Neo-evangelicalism are the same movement, but (at most) are terms used by different folks for evangelicalism .--Carlaude (talk) 19:31, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Seeing zero dissent after two weeks I deem the merge proposal to have consensus.

Thus I merge 'em.--Carlaude (talk) 05:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Whether they "are terms used by different folks for evangelicalism", or whether they are used by some to mean two different things, is a POV discussion. I think it was a debateable move to merge the articles.  I just happen not to object for myself; but others would object strongly.  This issue may be revisited at some later date, depending on whose attention it gets.  — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 23:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it should be merged as a section into the Evangelicalism page, perhaps as a subsection under the Types of Evangelicalism section. Bensci54 (talk) 16:36, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

 * They were merged per the May 2008 Consensus
 * Any further debate should be at moved Talk:Evangelicalism.

 * The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the Talk:Evangelicalism). No further edits should be made to this page.
