Hi, and thanks
Hi, UDScott, thank you for creating a Wikiquote page for Colley Cibber. I was watching the article (I wrote most of it), and noticed you adding the wikiquote template. I appreciate it! Where did you get those cool quotes? Bishonen | 美少年 22:43, 20 February 2006 (UTC).
 * No problem. I actually got those quotes from Bartlet's Familiar Quotations. I've been working my way through, adding pages where necessary and adding quotes where pages already exist. I stay pretty active over on wikiquote, usually just popping in here to add the wq link where needed. ~ UDScott 14:00, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

The Vikings of Bjornstad
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Vikings of Bjornstad, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.vikingsofbjornstad.com/Main.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 23:55, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Vikings of Bjornstad

A tag has been placed on The Vikings of Bjornstad requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.vikingsofbjornstad.com/Main.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liam987 (talk)  23:59, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

The Vikings of Bjornstad
Hello, I have removed the speedy delete tag I placed on the Vikings of Bjornstad, but please be aware that copying copyrighted content from another website is against Wikipedia's policies. Also, your article may be deleted for another reason: it probably does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Liam987 (talk)  00:20, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

June 2015
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". ''Marking new messages as minor edits is probably not a good idea. (People can see it either way, but still... it's just not quite right.)'' — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 17:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

references and footnotes
Hello, with regard to formatting, you can find help at WP:REFB

However the footnotes must be to reliably published sources with a reputation for editorial oversight and not self published blogs. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  21:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Mahishasura
I suggest you carefully read through the article and see what I mean about Mahishi. I am having a hard time finding information that can corroborate Mahishi being his mother, yet the article's introduction mentions Mahishi as his mother. Later, Mahishi is described as the sister. If you have a better idea or have a good source, please double check which one is accurate and make corrections accordingly throughout the article. This may require some major cleanup to the article. --NJ (talk) 00:41, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kortoso, you recently tagged Cold shock response as possibly containing original research without specifying what part of the content you consider may be OR.

THAAD
Are you aware that China & Russia have moved all of their mobile ICBMs 400Km from their resepective borders. www.armscontrolwonk.com The name change from 'Theatre' to 'Terminal' kind of gave the game away that they can get them coming or going. The THAAD ED will, no doubt, be able to take out ICBM (the reach up to 14000Km up) in the bus stage. Engines have stopped, inertia now means their direction is just that described by a paraboloa. The reason for that is that to hit them before they split into MIRVs. It's being played down but it gives the US a massive advantage, especially the Hypersonic Technology Vehicles. Fit THAAD-ED to the HTV and suddenly, all fixed-site ICBMs will become redundant and a submarine might launch 1 missile before it is destroyed (if you can put an atom bomb into a 155mm shell, a missile that lands roughly near the detonation will be crushed. Both Russia and China are working together to find a solution to THAAD which shows how far behind they are and how much it could affect the balance of power. It will certainly make every Eastern European country wanting to join NATO. I'm English and we spend 5% of out budget on NATO but if I'm honest, I don't think that the US could afford the number of aircraft & missiles to defend the UK. The important thing is, it looks like once those hypersonic 'bombers' are produced, it could mean that the US could win a nuclear war, i.e. the nation-state survives. Because of the innacuracy of Chinese ICBMs, they are introducing MRVs' i.e. multiple warheads all aimed at the same target. Thats a HUGE outlay and we can learn from what they do, what we can do. Those MRVs, BTW, will be copies of the W-87 & W-88 US warheads. It then means that they will be sub-megatonne. This is just my opinion, but I think Russia & China have been faster to build potent digital attack vectors. The items for Windows is obviously the bottom-end of the spectrum BUT we do need to do better.

 * On its BEST day, the system is only about 46% effective (and that means in a real shooting war it would be virtually useless) ... only a small fraction of the world's nuclear weapons need to detonate to bring the whole show to an end as humans have known it. 50.111.50.200 (talk) 12:51, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Parang (knife). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Your edits appears to be non-constructive and it does not reflect the edit summary that you've described. -Jeblat (talk) 07:01, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * What is a "Jeblat"? Before you start accusing people of vandalism, I suggest creating a user page.
 * Jeblat, regarding my OR edit on parang (knife), I was asking a constructive question regarding whether the article's conclusions were derived from the quoted source. How can that be construed to be vandalism? Please explain. I am here to help improve Wikipedia.

07:20, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I do not think asking what my username is in anyway relevant to the subject at hand. I don't think it is compulsory to have a user page, neither do you have one yourself. Secondly, if you intend to question the source, you can always place a citation tag, instead of "OR". If you intend to discuss contents within the article, you may do so in the article's Talk page. Putting "OR" as a form of questioning the "rationale in the source" is not the standard in Wikipedia. The link to "OR" itself does not bear any connection to your concern of the "rationale in the source". Thirdly, you may spend some time in Help:Contents to help you improve Wikipedia. -Jeblat (talk) 10:38, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Hello. Thank you for your kind words.  If your question is when did I make Teshuvah, it was about 6 years ago.  If your question is the time frame I was a Ba'al Teshuvah about 5 months, mainly to show the Rabbis that worked with me that I had already known Torah, Halakhah, and Teimani and Sepahardi Minhag.  I am an only child.  We have always had a mixed family.  Part of my family were Orthodox, and another part of my family is Coservative/Reform.--EhavEliyahu 18:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Questions about Howard Plummer
Greeting Ehav,

It's interesting that some research I am doing has come across your expertise. I am trying to find out some information about Howard Plummer. According to what I found he joined Sigma at Wilberforce and then relocated to the Norfolk area. Church of God and Saints of Christ was based out of this area. There was also a prominent lawyer name T.H. Reid that was a Sigma man who lived in the area. My chapter Beta Sigma was established early 1900's. LF Morse was here until 1918 as well as a college prep teacher.

Where are the Yemenite Torah scrolls on gevil from?
Hi Ehav. Thank you for your great work. You have contributed a photo of Yemenite Torah scrolls (Sfarim Torah) on gevil from "my Beth Knesset", but without explicitly indicating what synagogue that is. Several pages are using the picture, most writing that it's from "Rambam Synagogue in Jerusalem". There is no such synagogue in Jerusalem (Rambam = Moshe ben Maimon, Maimonides), only a quite famous Ramban Synagogue (Ramban = Moshe ben Nachman, Nachmanides). I assumed that one is meant, and have modified the caption to Ramban Synagogue, but I need to have your explicit confirmation, otherwise I need to remove this part of the caption altogether. In your place, I would modify the file name to the specific name of the synagogue, so there's no doubt about it anymore. The better and more precise the caption, the more a picture can be used. Thank you! Arminden (talk) 11:45, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Greetings, this is Ehav. Sorry I didn't notice your post in 2019. I haven't been writing on Wiki for a few years. Concerning the Rambam Beith Keneseth. Our Beith Keneseth is in Qatamonim. See pictures below of the location.

בית כנסת רמב"ם בקטמונים 192.56.175.2 (talk) 06:00, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I have learned from a fellow editor, Davidbena, that there is indeed a Yemenite Rambam Synagogue in Jerusalem - in Nahalat Ahim. I am sure that is the one you are going to. Can you please add "Nahalat Ahim" to the caption please? Thank you! The fact is, LOTS of people simply mistake Ramban for Rambam or mistype it, and your synagogue is not very well known, so it can be confusing. Do you maybe have some details about the age of the scrolls? "200 years old" sounds a bit generic. Thank you! Arminden (talk) 13:00, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

There aren't a lot of details about the scroll. Essentially, it is about 200 years old and was brought from Yemen by Rabbi Mosheh Giyath, probably around 1950's, who was the Rabbi of the Beith Keneseth Rambam until he passed away about 8 years ago. Until he passed away, Rabbi Giyath was one of the last living students of Rabbi Yihhyeh Qafahh. From what I was told by one person was that the sofer of the scroll was from the Sharabi family. That was information I got from the people who were there when I took the picture.192.56.175.2 (talk) 06:00, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Philip Watts

Sir Philip Beverley Watts (born 25 June 1945) is a former chairman of the multinational energy company Shell and a priest in the Church of England.

Early life
Watts was born on 25 June 1945 in Leicester and grew up in the Midlands where his father worked in the textile industry. He attended the Wyggeston and Dixie grammar schools in Leicestershire and the University of Leeds where he studied physics, graduating as BSc in 1968. After university he taught briefly in Sierra Leone before returning to Leeds to study for a master's degree in geophysics (MA).

In 1969 Watts joined Shell for whom he worked until 2004. In October 2012, he was appointed priest-in-charge of Waltham St Lawrence parish church.

Shell career

 * 1969–1983; Seismologist
 * 1983–1987; Exploration director, Shell UK
 * 1987–1991; Various in Shell's production liaison and planning operations
 * 1991–1994; managing director, Shell Nigeria
 * 1994–1995; Regional coordinator, Shell Europe
 * 1995–1998; Director for "Strategic Planning, Sustainable Development, and External Affairs", Shell International
 * 1998–2001; managing director, and CEO Exploration and Production Division
 * 2001–2004; Chairman

Nigeria
During Watts's tenure as managing director of Shell Nigeria in the early 1990s a major area of exploration in the country was the oil-rich Niger River delta and here Shell came into conflict with the Ogoni people. The conflict with the Ogonis eventually culminated in the execution by the Nigerian regime of activist Ken Saro-Wiwa. In 2002 a class action lawsuit was filed by the Philadelphia law firm of Berger & Montague alleging that Shell "engaged in militarized commerce in a conspiracy with the former military government of Nigeria…purchasing ammunition and using its helicopters and boats and providing logistical support for … a military foray into Ogoniland designed to terrorize the civilian population into ending peaceful protests." Shell dismissed the allegations as "groundless", but Watts was questioned in London by representatives of Berger & Montague in mid-April 2004 although he was not named a defendant in the lawsuit, which was brought solely against the company.

Business reputation
Watts succeeded Sir Mark Moody-Stuart in mid-2001 as chairman of Shell's "Committee of Managing Directors". Within Shell this appointment was greeted with some surprise as the seemingly abrasive Watts was a contrast with his patrician predecessor. Externally the appointment was at first welcomed as a sign that Shell was going to move aggressively to reduce costs, however Watts soon fell into disfavour with Shell's institutional investors, in large part because he was seen as aloof and uncommunicative. This unpopularity was reflected inside Shell where many were privately critical of his aggressive form of management and poor communications style. His devotion to Shell could not be faulted and he wore a ring on his right hand which had been engraved with the Shell symbol, the pecten.

Delivering the keynote address at the opening of the Shell Centre for Sustainability at Houston's Rice University in March 2003, Watts spoke out forcefully in favour of Sustainable Development. Later that year he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for "services to British business and to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development", which he served as chairman.

Reserves
Less than three years after taking over the chairmanship Watts was swept out of office in early 2004 by revelations that the company had overstated its proved oil and gas reserves by nearly 25 percent.

On 9 January 2004, Shell announced that it was cutting its estimate of proven oil and gas reserves by roughly 3.9 billion barrels, close to 20 percent of total reserves. Investors began calling for Watts to resign.

Reports surfaced of internal memoranda addressed to many of Shell's senior executives months earlier discussing the possibility that the company's proven reserves had been overestimated. Watts had stated that he had not been informed that there might be a need to restate reserves until late in 2003. During 2003, increasingly fractious e-mails from Walter van de Vijver, Watts' successor as CEO of Shell Exploration and Production, made it clear that senior executives had been discussing the issues around reserves for some time. In an appearance in front of around 1,000 staff in Shell Centre's sports hall in January 2004, Watts stated that he had been informed of the problem in late 2003 and that his first response had been to write down on a piece of paper that he (and, by implication, Shell) should 'get the facts and do the right thing.'

In April 2004, the US law firm of Davis Polk & Wardwell released a report on its review of Shell's reserves overbooking crisis. The report alleged that top company executives, including Watts, had known about the reserves shortfall since early 2002. As a result of the Davis Polk Report, the Board asked Watts to resign.

Watts (who had consistently said that he had "...acted properly and in good faith at all times") was investigated by the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) about his role in relation to the recategorisation of the company's hydrocarbon reserves. In November 2005 the FSA announced that it had "closed its inquiries" when its "Regulatory Decisions Committee," decided that the regulator should take no action. Watts had earlier been refused permission to proceed with a counter action against the FSA by the "Financial Services and Markets Tribunal" when he filed an action seeking to show that the FSA had unfairly prejudiced him in statements made in its settlement with Shell that appeared to condone the findings in the Davis Polk report.

Watts was also investigated by the US Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly misleading the stock market by allowing the overstated reserves figures to stand. These investigations are now closed with "no case to answer."

The Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed new regulations regarding the accounting of oil reserves that, according to a Dow Jones article may serve to vindicate Watts, since the proposed changes involve changing many of the SEC proved reserves criteria that prompted Shell's large debooking.

Retirement
Watts and his wife live at Binfield, Berkshire, where he serves as a curate after his ordination as a priest in 2011.

Styles

 * Mr Philip Watts (1945–2004)
 * Sir Philip Watts KCMG (2004–11)
 * The Revd Sir Philip Watts KCMG (2011–present)

Kabumpo

Kabumpo, the Elegant Elephant of Pumperdink, is a fictional character in the Oz books of Ruth Plumly Thompson.

History
Kabumpo first appears in Kabumpo in Oz, Thompson's second Oz book. He was originally a christening gift to the king of Pumperdink, Pompus.

He reappears to play major roles in The Lost King of Oz, The Purple Prince of Oz, and The Silver Princess in Oz. He had a less consequential role in The Wishing Horse of Oz. Thompson's illustrator John R. Neill made Kabumpo a denizen of the Emerald City, attended by Ojo, in his contributions to the series. In 1980, Eloise Jarvis McGraw and Lauren Lynn McGraw borrowed the character for The Forbidden Fountain of Oz, published by the International Wizard of Oz Club.

Kabumpo is known for his wisdom in Pumperdink, but that might be because he shines in comparison with other members of the court. He is overbearing, sarcastic, and extremely vain, but good-hearted.

Since the expiration of his first novel's copyright on 1 January 1998 (the last Thompson book to enter the public domain before the Copyright Term Extension Act took hold), Kabumpo may be used freely by any author. Of his Thompsonian appearances, only Purple Prince remains under copyright, with the expiration date being 1 January 2028.

Danvers State Hospital

The Danvers State Hospital, also known as the State Lunatic Hospital at Danvers, The Danvers Lunatic Asylum, and The Danvers State Insane Asylum, was a psychiatric hospital located in Danvers, Massachusetts. It was built in 1874, and opened in 1878, under the supervision of prominent Boston architect Nathaniel Jeremiah Bradlee, on an isolated site in rural Massachusetts. It was a multi-acre, self-contained psychiatric hospital designed and built according to the Kirkbride Plan.

Despite being included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, the majority of the building was demolished in 2007.

History
The Danvers State Hospital was officially opened in 1878 after four years of construction. Nathaniel Jeremiah Bradlee served as the designing architect.

At a cost of $1.5 million at the time, the hospital originally consisted of two main center buildings, housing the administration, with four radiating wings on each side of the Administration Block. The kitchen, laundry, chapel, and dormitories for the attendants were in a connecting building in the rear. Middleton Pond supplied the hospital its water. On each side of the main building were the wings, for male and female patients respectively. The outermost wards were reserved for the most hostile patients.

Over the years, newer buildings were constructed around the original Kirkbride, and alterations were made to the Kirkbride itself, such as a new gymnasium/auditorium on the area of the old kitchens and multiple solaria added onto the front of the wards.

Most of the buildings on campus were connected by a labyrinth of tunnels. Many of the Commonwealth institutions for the developmentally delayed and the mentally ill at the time were designed with tunnel systems, to be self-sufficient in wintertime. There was a tunnel that ran from a steam/power generating plant (which still exists to provide service to the Hogan Regional Center) located at the bottom of the hill running up to the hospital, along with tunnels that connected the male and female nurses homes, the "Gray Gables", Bonner Medical Building, machine shops, pump house, and a few others.

The original plan was designed to house 500 patients, with attic space potentially housing 1000 more. By the late 1930s and 1940s, over 2,000 patients were being housed, and overcrowding was severe. People were even held in the basements of the Kirkbride.

While the asylum was established to provide residential treatment and care to the mentally ill, its functions expanded to include a training program for nurses in 1889 and a pathological research laboratory in 1895. In the 1890s, Dr. Charles Page, the superintendent, declared mechanical restraint unnecessary and harmful in cases of mental illness. By the 1920s the hospital was operating school clinics to help determine mental deficiency in children. Reports were made that various inhumane shock therapies, lobotomies, drugs, and straitjackets were being used to keep the crowded hospital under control. This sparked controversy. During the 1960s as a result of increased emphasis on alternative methods of treatment, deinstitutionalization, and community-based mental health care, the inpatient population started to decrease.

Massive budget cuts in the 1960s played a major role in the progressive closing of Danvers State Hospital. The hospital began closing wards and facilities as early as 1969. By 1985, the majority of the original hospital wards were closed or abandoned. The Administration Block, in the original Kirkbride, building closed in 1989. Patients were moved to the Bonner Medical Building across the campus.

The entire campus was closed on June 24, 1992 and all patients were either transferred to the community or to other facilities.

Demolition
In December 2005, the property was sold to AvalonBay Communities, a residential apartment developer. A lawsuit was filed by a local preservation fund to stave off the demolition of the hospital, including the Kirkbride building, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This did not stop the process, however, and demolition of most of the buildings began in January 2006, with the intent to build 497 apartments on the 77 acre site.

By June 2006, all of the Danvers State Hospital buildings that were marked for demolition had been torn down, including all of the unused buildings and old homes on the lower grounds and all of the buildings on the hill. Demolition was done by Testa Corp. of Wakefield, Massachusetts. The historic Kirkbride was also demolished, with only the outermost brick shell of the administration area (along with the G and D wards on each side) being propped up during demolition and construction while an entirely new structure was built behind and inside of it, leaving the historic Danvers Reservoir and the original brick shell. Much of the wood from the demolition project was salvaged and recycled into flooring and other millwork.

A replica of the original tower/steeple on the Kirkbride was built to duplicate what was removed around 1970, due to structural issues. (The first picture illustrates the original tower in 1893, the second and third pictures illustrate the new replica in 2006 and 2007, and the fourth picture illustrates the one from 1970.) Avalon Bay predicted that they would have properties available for rent or sale by Fall 2007. On April 7, 2007, four of the apartment complex buildings and four of Avalon Bay's construction trailers burned down in a large fire visible from Boston, nearly 17 mi away. Damage was confined mostly to the buildings under construction on the eastern end, but the remaining Kirkbride spires caught fire due to the high heat.

The tunnel leading up from the power plant still exists, but is blocked at the top of the hill. Only the exterior of the Kirkbride complex was preserved in the demolition, and the cemeteries, several blocked tunnels, and the brick shell of the administration and the D and G wings are all that remain from the original site. Richard Trask of the Danvers Archival Center wrote, concerning the state's failure to preserve the Kirkbride complex, noting: "The failure to protect and adaptively reuse this grand exterior is a monumental blot in the annals of Massachusetts preservation. What might have been a dignified transformation of a magnificent structure which was originally built to serve the best intentions, but at times lost its way through human frailty, now is a mere ghost-image of itself. And we and our progeny are the losers."

On June 27, 2014, Avalon Bay Communities, Inc,. sold the property for $108.5 M to the DSF Group. The DSF Group released plans for the property to undergo further renovations.

In popular culture

 * The Danvers State Hospital is believed by literary historians to have served as inspiration for the infamous Arkham sanatorium from H.P. Lovecraft's "The Thing on the Doorstep". (Lovecraft's Arkham, in turn, is the inspiration for Arkham Asylum, a psychiatric hospital within the Batman universe.) It is referenced by name in the short story "Pickman's Model" and in The Shadow over Innsmouth.
 * The hospital was the setting for the 2001 horror film Session 9. The asylum was also featured in the 1958 film Home Before Dark.
 * In the book Project 17 by Laurie Faria Stolarz, the plot involves six teens breaking into Danvers to investigate.
 * In the game Painkiller, one of the levels, called Asylum, is based on the central administration section. While the outside is a faithful reproduction, the inside is not.
 * Episode 6 of the podcast Lore, called "Echoes", is dedicated to Danvers.
 * The scenario "Genius Loci" for the Call of Cthulhu tabletop roleplaying game takes place in Danvers State Hospital.

WAMI-DT

WAMI-DT (channel 69) is a television station licensed to Hollywood, Florida, United States, serving as the Miami-area outlet for the Spanish-language network UniMás. It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside Univision station WLTV-DT (channel 23). The two stations share studios known as "NewsPort" (a converted studio facility that also houses Noticias Univision) on Northwest 30th Terrace in Doral; WAMI-DT's transmitter is located in Pembroke Park, Florida.

WAMI is one of two commercial television stations with a city of license in Broward County, the other being Telemundo station WSCV (channel 51), licensed to Fort Lauderdale. The station also serves as the de facto UniMás outlet for the West Palm Beach market.

History
Prior to being used by a full-power station, the channel 69 allocation was occupied by W69AA, a translator for WCIX (channel 6). The analog channel 6 transmitter was located in Homestead because of station spacing restrictions to channel 6 in Orlando; W69AA and two other translators, all commissioned in 1972, provided WCIX programming to areas in Broward County and Boca Raton. As applications proceeded on the full-power allotment, W69AA was displaced; it went silent and returned as W58BU, a translator of WTVJ, on March 10, 1994.

Early years
In 1981, four applications were received for a full-power television station on channel 69, from Whitco Broadcasters; Family Television 69, owned by Hialeah pastor Adib Eden, Sr.; Golden East Broadcasters; and Christian Media of Florida. In April, the FCC selected Whitco over the other applicants, saying that Christian Media of Florida's three pastor owners would not be able to balance ministry and station operations; Whitco offered $111,000 to its competitors to end the proceeding.

Whitco, owned by Eddie Whitehead and Thomas Coates, proposed the first African-American-owned television station in South Florida, aimed at the same audience. The construction permit took the call letters WDEM and secured space on the new tower being built by Guy Gannett Communications in Pembroke Park.

An attempt to sell a majority stake in the construction permit to an investor group that sought to program channel 69 as a Spanish-language station fell through in early 1985. On February 19, 1987, the Home Shopping Network (HSN) announced that it was acquiring a majority stake in WDEM, with the option to buy the facility outright upon completion for $10 million.

WAMI first signed on the air on August 10, 1988, as WYHS-TV. Before the station launched, WYHS-TV simulcast audio from WHYI-FM (Y-100) with live telecasting views of Miami before signing on. When it signed on, WYHS-TV carried programming from the Home Shopping Network. Two months later, HSN's broadcasting division, Silver King Communications, acquired the remainder of the station. The primary purpose of these stations was to force carriage of HSN on cable providers in each market through the Federal Communications Commission's must-carry provisions as QVC was taking away a large slice of HSN's audience as several providers had held an ownership interest in QVC, but not HSN. Eventually, Silver King Communications acquired an ownership interest in the USA Network, and as a result, later became USA Broadcasting, the broadcast arm of media company USA Networks, Inc. In the fall of 1997, channel 69 began carrying Fox Kids programming, after it was dropped by the market's WB affiliate WDZL (channel 39, later WBZL and now WSFL-TV), which acquired the block in 1993 after Fox affiliate WSVN (channel 7) decided to stop carrying Fox's children's programming.

WAMI 69
On June 8, 1998, at 6 a.m., channel 69 became an independent station; the station also changed its call letters to WAMI-TV. The relaunch of channel 69 was known as the "Birth of a Station", where a soon-to-be mother was giving birth to the "Miami" thought-bubble station logo (the entire day before, the channel stunted with the picture of a sonogram of the new logo as a lead into the introduction). Immediately after that sketch, real-time traffic and weather reports were shown. The revamped station adopted a general entertainment format with a strong focus on locally produced programs including a daily news program called The Times; the sports discussion show SportsTown; Generation ñ, a program targeted at bilingual, 2nd generation Latinos in the U.S.; the lifestyle programs Ocean Drive (which was based on the magazine of the same name) and Ten's (which was also broadcast on Dallas sister station KSTR-TV from 1999 to 2001); the dance program Barcode; an alternative lifestyle program called Kenneth's Frequency; and the talk show Out Loud, which was hosted by Bill Teck and produced by Miami producer and media personality Paul Bouche. The station's programming was mostly aimed at teenagers and young adults between the ages of 16 and 34. The format heavily took after the groundbreaking CITY-TV in Toronto, which carried a similar mix of syndicated shows and movies with locally-produced programming.

WAMI repackaged the Fox Kids block, incorporating it into the live, locally produced interactive children's show WAMI on Miami. The hosts of that program would hold up a "WAMI" hand sign, holding up both hands, making "L" shapes, and crossing their hands together to form a "W", shouting; "Wami, baby!" to its on-air audience. Children would show up at WAMI-sponsored Fox Kids/Power Rangers events that were held throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties, mimicking their favorite WAMI on Miami on-air host. Another pickup for the station was Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, which had not been cleared by the area's ABC affiliate, WPLG.

The station soon began to heavily incorporate local remote interstitials that were broadcast live. WAMI-TV often shot its interstitials, "live" at remote locations all over Miami-Dade and Broward counties, with the WAMI interstitial host often literally pulling passers-by off the streets to read the cue cards announcing the programs that would be shown on the station during the next hour. Another short program not seen on most other USA-owned stations was the topical program Lips, featuring a pair of ruby red lips in front of a black background, teasing the day's stories or issues, a concept that was thought to be inspired by The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

WAMI-TV prominently used the on-air station "bug" or WAMI station ID logo, a variation of the WAMI "thought bubble"; the station ID graphic would flash on the lower part of the screen, at the top, and bottom of the hour, or each time a program returned from commercial break, and then fade out. WAMI's vice president of promotions ordered that the logo bug remain on-screen during its programs, around the clock, and to give it a translucent appearance so that it was seen constantly. WAMI also featured "WAMI-cams", which were three to five-second on-air spots that were used to fill airtime, usually catching a glimpse of South Beach street life, scenic views, or interesting goings-on in Miami, followed a "pop" sound and the appearance of the WAMI "thought bubble" graphic. The rest of WAMI-TV's programming schedule was supplemented with some first-run syndicated reality and talk shows, syndicated reruns of network sitcoms, movies (under the WAMI Movie Palace banner), cartoons and a few religious programs.

By December 1998, after only six months on the air, WAMI-TV had outbid UPN owned-and-operated station WBFS-TV (channel 33) and WB affiliate WBZL to land an exclusive six-year contract for the local television rights to Major League Baseball games from the Florida Marlins. WAMI had also procured the rights to broadcast Miami Heat NBA games prior to the station's relaunch.

By late 1999, WAMI had grown into its role as the "flagship station" of what was to become the USA Broadcasting Network, comprising thirteen stations scattered around the country in major U.S. cities, twelve of which were former HSN affiliates. All of these stations, which were owned by Barry Diller, were to gradually be converted to follow WAMI's format, called "CityVision". The "CityVision" concept was based on Diller's theory that local programming was being ignored on most broadcast stations, and that the general public wanted a sense of what is going on in their communities on television. A scaled-down version of the format was adopted by USA Broadcasting-owned sister stations KHSX-TV in Dallas (which became KSTR-TV and rebranded as "K-Star 49"), WHSH-TV in Boston (which became WHUB-TV and rebranded as "Hub 66"; it is now WUTF-TV) and WHOT-TV in Atlanta (which rebranded as "Hotlanta 34"; it is now WUVG-TV). The rest of the former HSN-affiliated stations owned by USA that were due to be converted were WHSE-TV (now WFUT-DT) and WHSI (now WFTY-DT) in the New York City market (whose calls were to be changed to WORX and rebranded as "The Works" upon the format change), WEHS (now WXFT-DT) in Chicago (which was to become WNDE and be rebranded as "Windy"), WQHS-TV in Cleveland, KHSC-TV (now KFTR-DT) in Los Angeles (whose calls were to be changed to KLIK and be rebranded as "Click"), WHSP (now WUVP-DT) in Philadelphia, WHSW (now WUTB) in Baltimore, KHSH (now KFTH-DT) in Houston and WBHS (now WFTT-DT) in Tampa.

Sale to Univision and switch to a Spanish-language format
Due to financial problems that USA Networks began facing in 2000, the company began looking to divest some of its assets. USA Broadcasting, as one of these assets, was considered for divestiture as part of a deal to help USA Networks repair its financial footing. In 2001, the remaining entertainment units of USA Broadcasting were sold to Vivendi Universal, along with $10.3 billion worth of shares held by Barry Diller. The television stations were to be sold to The Walt Disney Company, but Univision Communications outbid its competition in a close race. The sale was finalized on January 3, 2002.

On January 14, 2002, WAMI-TV became a charter owned-and-operated station of Univision's fledgling Spanish-language secondary network, Telefutura (which rebranded as UniMás eleven years later on February 7, 2013). WPXM-TV (channel 35) and West Palm Beach sister station WPXP-TV acquired the rights to the Marlins telecasts (which were now produced by Fox Sports), which aired through the Florida Marlins Television Network, eventually dropping them in 2005 after Pax TV relaunched as i: Independent Television (the rights to Marlins and Heat telecasts are held by Sun Sports, now Bally Sports Sun).

In late 2009, most Univision-owned television stations, including WAMI and sister station WLTV, upgraded their main digital signals to transmit programming in 1080i high definition. TeleFutura's sister network Univision became the last major over-the-air television network in the United States to begin offering high definition programming on December 31, 2009.

Newscasts and local programming
Univision owned-and-operated sister station WLTV produces an hour-long weekday morning newscast for WAMI called Noticias 23 Al Amanecer en UniMás Miami'', which airs Monday through Fridays at 7 a.m. and is an extension of WLTV's two-hour morning newscast. In addition, that station produces a public affairs program called Ahora en Nuestra Comunidad, which airs on Saturday mornings at 6 a.m. on WAMI-DT with a rebroadcast on WLTV at 11:30 a.m.

Awards and nominations
WAMI-TV during its 2½ year run under USA Broadcasting ownership, received 18 Suncoast Regional Emmy Awards and 22 Promax Awards.
 * 1998: 7 Regional Emmys
 * 1999: 6 Regional Emmys, 10 Promax Awards
 * 2000: 5 Regional Emmys, 10 Promax Awards

Subchannels
The station's digital signal is multiplexed: {{legend|#DFEBF6|Broadcast on behalf of another station}}

Analog-to-digital conversion
WAMI ended programming on its analog signal, on UHF channel 69, On June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal continued to broadcast on its pre-transition UHF channel 47, using virtual channel 69. Like all Univision-owned stations, it also retained the "-DT" suffix on their calls at the time of transition.

USS Anthony (DD-515)

USS Anthony (DD-515), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Marine Sergeant Major William Anthony (1853–1899).

Construction
Anthony was laid down on 17 August 1942, at Bath, Maine, by the Bath Iron Works Corp.; launched on 20 December 1942; sponsored by Miss Alice Anthony and Miss Frances Anthony, granddaughters of Sergeant Major William Anthony; and commissioned at the Boston Navy Yard, on 26 February 1943.

1943
The destroyer got underway on 26 March for a shakedown training out of Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and arrived back in Boston on 27 April for a tender availability. She then headed for Norfolk, Virginia but departed Hampton Roads on 10 May, bound for the Pacific. After transiting the Panama Canal, Anthony joined the Pacific Fleet and arrived in Pearl Harbor on 31 May.

Two months of intensive training for the destroyer ensued. She left Hawaiian waters on 5 August in the screen of a convoy bound, via Pago Pago, Samoa, for Efate Island, New Hebrides. Anthony dropped anchor off Efate on 27 August.

Her next several weeks were devoted to more training exercises. Then, late in October, Anthony was among the destroyers escorting troop transports to the Solomon Islands for landings on Bougainville. She took part in a preinvasion bombardment and stood by while marines landed on the beaches of Empress Augusta Bay on 1 November. The destroyers pulled into Purvis Bay, Florida Island, on 3 November. However, she returned to Bougainville on 8 November to reinforce American naval forces off that island. Despite numerous air attacks, Anthony emerged unscathed from covering the transports during their successful unloading. She pulled into Tulagi on 15 November and soon began escorting ships carrying troops and supplies to various points in the Solomon Islands.

1944
This routine was interrupted for the destroyer on 20 January 1944 by an order to proceed to Bougainville Strait. There, Anthony encountered several small Japanese ships and destroyed a gunboat and several barges before resuming her escort duties.

The ship got underway on 15 February to shepherd a group of LSTs to the landing sites on Green Island. Although Anthony was originally slated to perform gunfire support duties, the American troops encountered such light enemy opposition when they went ashore that she was not required to carry out that assignment.

After a brief respite at Purvis Bay, the destroyer sailed on 23 February to take part in a bombardment of the enemy stronghold at Rabaul, New Britain Island. Then, during March, she covered the invasion of Emirau Island before serving as an escort on several supply runs between Guadalcanal and Emirau.

On 24 April, Anthony was assigned to duty with a battleship task force. The destroyer screened USS New Mexico (BB-40), USS Idaho (BB-42), and USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) to Australia. The warships arrived at Sydney; and, on the 29th after a week of liberty in that city, Anthony weighed anchor on 6 May to return to Purvis Bay.

After brief training, Anthony and a group of ships sailed on 2 June for the invasion of the Marianas. They arrived in Kwajalein on 8 June to refuel, then turned westward toward the Marianas. On 14 June, the destroyer fired her guns on Saipan and, the next day, screened other ships during landings on Saipan. On 16 June, she bombarded Guam. The destroyer then detached to join Task Force 58 (TF 58), the Fast Carrier Task Force. Her duties then included screening the carriers and rescuing downed aviators.

On 8 July, Anthony began providing harassing fire on Guam, and the bombardment continued for several days. When relieved, the destroyer proceeded to Eniwetok to refuel and take on provisions. She returned to the action off Guam on 21 July and assumed antisubmarine patrol duty.

On 10 August, Anthony was ordered to proceed to Hawaii. She made an intermediate stop at Eniwetok before arriving at Pearl Harbor on the 20th. There, the ship was briefly dry-docked for repairs and then took part in training exercises off Maui. Anthony sailed for Ulithi on 15 September and arrived safely in that lagoon on 3 October. Shortly thereafter, the destroyer got underway to return to the west coast of the United States.

Soon after her reaching San Francisco, Calif. on 25 October, Anthony entered the Mare Island Navy Yard for an overhaul. She left the shipyard on 13 December to travel to San Diego for a week of refresher training. The destroyer departed the west coast on 20 December with a convoy bound for Hawaii and reached Pearl Harbor on 30 December.

1945
There, she began preparations for the upcoming operations at Iwo Jima. Anthony and other ships of the invasion force got underway on 27 January 1945 and stopped en route at Eniwetok and Guam. The destroyer was assigned to the screen of transports carrying reserve forces. She conducted shore bombardment and night harassing fire off Iwo Jima until 6 March, when she got underway for the Philippines.

Anthony anchored in San Pedro Bay on 13 March. The ship began preparing for the assault on Okinawa. She left Philippine waters on 27 March and arrived on station off Okinawa on 1 April. But for one trip to Ulithi, the destroyer remained in the dangerous waters of that embattled island carrying out fire support, screening, and radar picket duties until late June. She underwent several Japanese air attacks during this time and claimed to have downed five enemy planes. On 27 May, kamikazes attacked Anthony and her sister ship USS Braine (DD-630). When two succeeded in crashing into Braine, Anthony took all survivors on board and towed the damaged vessel to Kerama Retto.

Anthony had another close call on 7 June. While on radar picket station, she was again attacked by enemy aircraft. A kamikaze splashed along the destroyer's port side, leaving a large hole in her hull and carrying away lifelines and stanchions for 25 ft on that side. Five crewmen either jumped or were blown into the water, but all were recovered safely. The ship remained on duty until 24 June, then returned to Leyte, Philippines, for an availability.

On 13 July, Anthony got underway for an anti-shipping sweep off the China coast between Fuzhou and Wenzhou. After touching back at Okinawa for refueling and replenishing, Anthony commenced another sweep on 26 July off the mouth of the Yangtze River. The destroyer returned to Okinawa on 1 August and operated from that base through the end of hostilities a fortnight later.

Anthony sailed on 7 September for duty supporting the occupation of Japan. She carried out minesweeping operations off Nagasaki and Sasebo and then anchored at Sasebo on 29 September. Anthony began the voyage home on 17 November and, after stops at Midway and Pearl Harbor, finally arrived in San Diego. Shortly thereafter, she got underway for the east coast and transited the Panama Canal en route to Charleston, South Carolina.

Preservation work began shortly after her arrival in Charleston to ready the ship for inactivation. Anthony was placed out of commission, in reserve, on 17 April 1946.

Anthony earned seven battle stars for her World War II service, and was awarded a Navy Unit Commendation for heroism during the Okinawa campaign.

Zerstörer 1 (D170), 1958–1972
On 17 January 1958, the destroyer was loaned to the Federal Republic of Germany, and renamed Zerstörer 1. She was returned to United States custody and simultaneously struck from the Navy list on 15 April 1972. The ship was then sold to West Germany on 27 June 1972 for cannibalization and scrapping. The ship was stricken in 1976. She was sunk by GS U-29 (S178) as a torpedo target in the Mediterranean on 16 May 1979.

Paranoiac hikikomori troll
You wrote on the hikikomori talk page, re: an anony user I'm all too familiar with these days:

"Are you for real??? This CIA nonsense has nothing to do with a social problem in Japan. Nothing. Take this paranioa talk to the frey entry or tinfoil hats. Or better yet, write a constructive Wiki entry on what you feel you are an expert of and leave non-related Wiki entries alone. I'm not even going to dignify anymore responses on what is clearly an Internet_troll.--Mdziesinski 12:06, 5 September 2005 (UTC)"

Don't feed the troll :) He actually did write most (90%) of the Frey effect article, and seems to enjoy claiming that tons of stuff is due to the Frey effect. I'm currently in the middle of figuring out how much of that article is actually verifiable by sources other than conspiracy paranoiacs on the 'net... he of course claims it to be "authoritative" because it shows up as one of the first Google hits for "Frey effect". Of course, if Google ranks it highly, clearly it *must* be true. *shudder* Anyhow, sorry for that guy's vandalism, he's shown a consistent pattern of this sort of behavior. Colin McMillen 13:12, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah I know, I hear ya. I just don't get why he's latching onto the hikikomori entry, it's like he came out of nowhere a month or so ago and keeps vandalizing the entry. As you probably have already guessed that topic is near and dear to me and while I enjoy entertaining the possibility of conspiracy theories and having beer and tinfoil hat parties with my friends on the weekends as much as the next bored netizen, I do think there is a place for it and when it constitutes spam. Ah well. BTW, read your User profile. In Tokyo still?  I envy you. I won't get back there for research for probably two years. Miss Japan already; it's like a second home to me.--Mdziesinski 13:27, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Yup, I'm in Tokyo until the end of October. I think I actually found this guy through the hikikomori page, I've been using Wikipedia a lot to learn a bit more about various aspects of Japanese culture and happened to come across it somehow. Interesting article by the way, I learned a lot from it. I'm enjoying Japan, though I'm kind of settled into a daily routine these days so the novelty has worn off a bit. :) Colin McMillen 15:13, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Category
Hi, your user page appears in Category:Japanese terms. Was it a mistake? I don't think your user name is a Japanese term - in fact I'm sure it isn't!! I've commented out the line in your user page. Hope you don't mind. I would remove the other categories too if I were you, unless you really think your user page belongs in them. --DannyWilde 12:03, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk page
Hey, use "show preview" to check your edits, will you? Every time you "save" my talk page it blinks up "new messages". I got four "new messages" in about the last ten minutes, and then I couldn't even reply to them because you did yet another edit - and all it was was something you could have done with "show preview". Please, check the edits with "show preview" before you save them, don't "save" every time, especially on my talk page. Thanks. --DannyWilde 13:09, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, wise and all-knowing DannyWilde! I'm sure you've never made any mistakes using the Wiki edits.  I was trying to fix it on a slow computer, give me a break and stop lecturing me. I've been using Wiki for as long as you most likely. --Mdziesinski 13:20, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
