Embraer Legacy 600

The Embraer Legacy 600 is a business jet derivative of the Embraer ERJ family of commercial jet aircraft.

Design and development
The Legacy 600 (market designation adopted after 2005) is based on the ERJ-135 model. It was launched in 2000 at the Farnborough Airshow as the "Legacy 2000". The Legacy carries 13 passengers in three partitioned sections for 3050 nmi or 8 passengers for 3450 nmi. It features added range via extra fuel tanks in the tail behind the baggage compartment and forward of the wing, winglets, and an extensive drag reduction program. It is certified to 41000 ft altitude versus 37000 ft for the airline configuration. The Legacy Shuttle can seat 19 to 37 in airline-style seats but without the range.

The first flight was made in June 2000, with the prototype of the ERJ-135 (PT-ZJA). This same aircraft was once the prototype of the first ERJ-145. New winglets and new wing-to-fuselage fairing was added, but no additional fuel tanks were available. The new fuselage fuel tanks were ready for the second prototype (PT-XJO), along with engine and avionics, that flew only in 31 March 2001. It was the second Embraer model to feature winglets, as the first were installed on the EMB-145SA military model. Embraer winglet models differed in shape and structure, due to their optimum design speed.

The Legacy 600 competes on the upper end of the small to mid-sized range of business jets and is considered a "Heavy Jet" aircraft. It has nearly the opposite design progression as the rival Canadair Challenger. The Legacy 600 was derived from the established ERJ family of regional jets, while the Canadair Regional Jet was developed by Bombardier from the Challenger business jet. Both lines of aircraft are competitors. Embraer has since launched an extensive lineup of business aircraft, from the entry-level Phenom 100 to the Lineage 1000, a bizliner version of the company's 100-seat E190.

With the updated Mark I cockpit of the EMB-145, the Legacy includes a Honeywell Primus Elite avionics suite glass cockpit.

U.S. private aviation companies offering Legacy 600-family business jets for charter include Embraer Executive Jet Services, Clay Lacy Aviation, ExcelAire, Aircraft Services Group and Jet Edge International.

Legacy 650
Announced at the 2009 NBAA show, the Legacy 650 is a longer-range version of the Legacy 600, giving it a range capability of 7,220 km (3,900 nmi; 7220 km) non-stop with four passengers, or carry 1134 kg more than the Legacy 600 for a 6290 km trip. It features also a lowered alley, with increased headroom. It was certified by the FAA in February 2011.

Embraer had a joint venture with Aviation Industry Corp. in China assembling Legacy 650a and ERJ-145s from 2004 to 2016.

An enhanced version, the 650E, was announced at the 2016 NBAA and scheduled for introduction in 2017. It includes a synthetic vision system and autothrottle as standard, a restyled three-zone interior and comes with a 10-year or 10,000-flight-hour warranty. In August 2020 Embraer announced that it was stopping sales of the Legacy 650.

Accidents and incidents
On 29 September 2006, an ExcelAire Legacy 600 (aircraft registration N600XL) collided with Gol Transportes Aéreos Flight 1907, a Boeing 737-800, while cruising over Mato Grosso, Brazil. The Boeing aircraft crashed, killing all 154 passengers and crew, while the Embraer Legacy 600, despite serious damage to the left horizontal stabilizer and left winglet, was able to continue flying and landed at Cachimbo Air Force Base.

On 23 August 2023, a Legacy 600 belonging to the military Wagner Group (registered RA-02795 ) crashed in a field near Kuzhenkino, Tver Oblast, Russia. According to Russian officials, all 10 persons aboard, three crew members and seven passengers, including Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin, were killed. DNA tests subsequently confirmed human remains recovered from the crash site exactly matched the flight's passenger manifest. Prigozhin was additionally identified by a partially severed finger on his left hand. Embraer stated they had not serviced the aircraft since 2019 due to international sanctions against the Wagner Group. US intelligence reported that an intentional explosion caused the aircraft to crash.

Leon Kamin

Leon J. Kamin (December 29, 1927 – December 22, 2017) was an American psychologist known for his contributions to learning theory and his critique of estimates of the heritability of IQ. He studied under Richard Solomon at Harvard and contributed several important ideas about conditioning, including the "blocking effect".

Early life and education
Leon Kamin was born into a Jewish family in Taunton, Massachusetts; his father was a rabbi. Kamin studied psychology at Harvard. While a Harvard undergraduate, he joined the Communist Party, but dropped out of the party by 1950 and became a Harvard graduate student and teaching fellow. While a graduate student, Kamin was subpoenaed by the Jenner anti-Communist Senate committee, but he refused to name others who had been (or might have been) Communists and cited his Fifth Amendment rights. As a result, Harvard refused to renew his fellowship. Next, Joe McCarthy's anti-communist committee came to Boston, looking for Communists and ex-Communists. Refusing to name names, Kamin was convicted of contempt of the Senate. This caused job offers in the U.S. to dry up and he had to find employment in Canada, where he held positions, first at McGill University, then at Queen’s University and McMaster University (where he chaired the Psychology Department in 1957–58). In 1968 he returned to the U.S. and chaired Princeton University's Department of Psychology and later the Psychology Department at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.

Career
Kamin's most well-known contribution to learning theory was his discovery and analysis of the "blocking effect" (1969). He showed that conditioning an animal to associate a salient conditioned stimulus (CSb), such as a bright light, with a salient unconditioned stimulus (US), like a shock, is "blocked" when CSb is presented simultaneously with another conditioned stimulus (CSa) that was already conditioned to the US. (Kamin used rats in most of his research, but the effect has been found in many animals). However, a 2016 article in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General reported "15 failures to observe a blocking effect despite the use of procedures that are highly similar or identical to those used in published studies."

In March 1972 an invitation from the Princeton Psychology Department (which Kamin chaired at the time) to Richard Herrnstein (who had a few months earlier published a contentious article about race, gender, class, and intelligence ) sparked a major controversy and threats of protest. Herrnstein canceled his visit, saying that "It would be enough for me not to come if they had placards on the wall." Kamin defended the invitation to Herrnstein, opposed the protests, and organized a meeting to discuss the controversy. The resulting debates spurred Kamin to start investigating the work on heritability of intelligence of Cyril Burt, work that Herrnstein was citing to support his views. Kamin concluded that Burt had falsified his data. He revealed his discovery, first, in an invited address to the 1973 meeting of the Eastern Psychological Association, where his audience of 1,000 gave him a standing ovation. In 1974 he published his findings about Burt in the book The Science and Politics of IQ. In it, Kamin also reviewed the early history of intelligence testing and charged WWI era psychologists with bias against non-WASP immigrants, who were targeted by the Immigration Act of 1924  To Kamin and other  critics of Jensen and Herrnstein, psychology in the 1970s was again supporting anti-democratic social policies, attempting to reverse the gains of the Civil Rights and Women’s movements.

As department chair at Princeton and then Northeastern, Kamin’s achievements included the creation of programs to recruit and support graduate students of color.

Kamin co-authored the controversial book Not in Our Genes (1984) with geneticist Richard Lewontin and neurobiologist Steven Rose. This book criticized sociobiology and evolutionary psychology. Kamin was known in some circles for his speculation that the heritability of IQ could be "zero". (Mackintosh, 1998) In 1983, he was named a Guggenheim Fellow in psychology.

He was honorary professor of psychology at the University of Cape Town in South Africa.

Emilio Aceval

Emilio Aceval Marín (October 16, 1853 – April 15, 1931) was President of Paraguay from 1898 to 1902. He was a member of the Colorado Party.

Biography
Aceval's parents were Don Leonardo Aceval and Monica Marín. He studied under Fidel Maíz. Upon the outbreak of the war against the Triple Alliance, he joined the Army at age 13 as a child soldier.

Upon the end of the war, Aceval moved with his relatives to Corrientes and then to Buenos Aires, where he resumed his studies at National Central College. He studied engineering in the postwar period, but had to stop because of a serious illness. After his recovery, he made a long trip through Europe and the United States, returning in 1881, and became a landowner and farmer. He also served as Minister of Finance and was War and Navy Minister during the government of General Egusquiza, and was a member of the Colorado Party.

Presidency
He was President of the Republic from November 25, 1898 to January 9, 1902. His cabinet was formed by: José P. Urdapilleta, Finance; José Segundo Decoud in Foreign Affairs, Guillermo de los Rios in the Interior; Jose Zacarias Caminos, Venancio Víctor López, Geronimo Pereira Cazal, and Pedro Jose Tomas Bobadilla, Justice, Worship and Public Instruction, and Colonel Juan Antonio Escurra in War and Navy.

During the government of President Aceval, the National Council on Education, the Directorate General of Schools, and the National Council of Hygiene were created, as well as an Internal Revenue Service, and settled colonies of immigrants, especially Italians. Paraguay also participated in the International Exhibition of Philadelphia during Aceval's presidency, and went through an epidemic of bubonic plague, which led to the creation of the Bacteriological Office.

A relapse in the political situation caused serious conflicts that were reflected in Congress. On January 9, 1902, a military revolutionary committee forced Aceval to resign. Congress decided to appoint as his replacement then vice president, Don Hector Carballo.

He died in Asuncion on April 15, 1931.

On December 29, 1903, Cecilio Báez was designated plenipotentiary in Mexico and the United States. Juan O’Leary was inspector of the National Lottery. In 1902 Silvano Mosqueira quit to his position in the Municipality's secretary and was replaced by Federico Chávez. In 1903 Tomás Matto left his position in the Police Headquarters, the Economic and Administrative Board of Mbuyapey was created, having Ceferino Ayala as president and Carlos Pastore as vice-president. Fernando Vera was appointed calligraphic of the National Library in replacement of Alberto Correa and the government donated to Uruguay the “Solar Artigas”.

Among the events that are worth mentioning in education is the organization of the First National Congress of Teachers in February 1903 and the adoption of the “Franco Plan” in the National School on March 25, 1904. That same year the poet Narciso R. Colmán was appointed magistrate in the locality of Caballero. In 1903 graduated from the Faculty of Medicine: Andrés Barbero, Ricardo Odriozola, Manuel Urbieta and Eusebio Taboada, among others.

In August 1904 there was an agitated military movement that settled in Villeta and in October exploded as a revolution that ended in the overthrowing of Escurra's government, the 1904 Revolution, caused in part by bad economic performance during his term. With it, came the end of the republican government and the start of the Liberal era. After his destitution, Escurra retired from the politics, going back to a simple life away from the public scenery. He moved to Villa Hayes, where he formed a family.

A goodbye with honors
Colonel Escurra died in Villa Hayes on August 24, 1929. The Executive Power, by decree, disposed that he would be honored. A wake was held in the “Palacio de López” and his body was buried in the Recoleta Cemetery. When the car that transported the mortal rests of Escurra arrived to the port of Asunción, there were paid the official military honors. Many participated of his funeral: Eligio Ayala, President José P. Guggiari, members of the Supreme Court and the Parliament, several fellow party members and high class families. There was a solemn mass in the Metropolitan Cathedral given by the Archbishop of Asunción, Juan Sinforiano Bogarín.

Wikipedia:WikiProject help desk/cleanup/20050715 LukeSurl

 * This cleanup project was a one-time job for the WikiProject help desk/20050715 LukeSurl ticket.

This is a list of each asteroid article with an asteroid stub tag on it. I am going off the presence of the standard Wikiproject table on the left hand side as a general indicator of stubness. However if there is minimal descriptive text I am leaving the stub tag in tact. For instance: stub - not a stub - not a stub. Scratch that. not a stub; anything much less than that, or if it is missing the table, is still a stub. I had no idea so much could be said about an asteroid.

Please use the table of contents to locate a section that is still open.

Nesvizh Castle

Nesvizh Castle or Nyasvizh Castle (Нясвіжскі замак; Несвижский замок; zamek w Nieświeżu; Nesvyžiaus pilis) is a residential castle of the Radziwiłł family in Nyasvizh (Nesvizh), Belarus. It is 183 m above sea level. Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, and maintained by the Radziwiłł family until 1939, the castle and the nearby Corpus Christi Church were instrumental in the development of Central European and Russian architecture. In 2005, the castle, church, and surrounding environment were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

History
The estate was owned by the Radziwiłł magnate family from 1533, when it was awarded to Mikołaj Radziwiłł and his brother Jan Radziwiłł after the extinction of the Kiszka family. Since the Radziwiłłs were one of the most important and wealthy clans of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, it was there that the Lithuanian Metrica was moved in 1551. In 1586 the estate was turned into an ordynacja.

After the Union of Lublin the castle became one of the most important residences in the central part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

In 1582 Mikołaj Krzysztof "Sierotka" Radziwiłł, the Marshal of Lithuania, Voivode of Trakai–Vilnius and castellan of Šiauliai, started the construction of an imposing square three-storey "château". Although the works were based on a pre-existing structure of a medieval castle, the former fortifications were entirely turned into a renaissance-baroque house. Construction was completed by 1604, and they added several galleries half a century later. The château's corners were fortified with four octagonal towers.

In 1706, during the Great Northern War, Charles XII's army sacked the castle and destroyed its fortifications. Several decades later, the Radziwiłłs invited some German and Italian architects to substantially renovate and enlarge the castle. Antoni Zaleski decorated its yellow facades with baroque stucco work. The 16th-century castle gates were also reconstructed, and the two-storey gatehouse tower was crowned with a helm. It was at this time that the three separate buildings surrounding the central courtyard were joined into a single structure.

During the Polish–Russian War of 1792, the castle was seized by Russian forces and the Radziwiłł family was expelled. Soon afterwards the Lithuanian Metrica was transferred to Saint Petersburg (where it still remains today), while the majority of works of art gathered in the palace were distributed among various Russian and Polish nobles in support of Catherine the Great. Due to the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, the castle became part of Russia.

Abandoned both by the original owners and by the Russian army, the palace gradually fell into disrepair. However, it was restored by the Radziwiłłs and between 1881 and 1886 the castle's interiors were renovated by Prince Antoni Wilhelm Radziwiłł and his French wife, Marie de Castellane. They also designed a landscape park in English style. With an area of more than one square kilometre, the park is one of the biggest such facilities in Europe.

After the Polish–Soviet War the castle complex and the surrounding area became part of the newly established Second Polish Republic in 1920. During that time, the castle was considered one of the most beautiful in the Kresy region. During the invasion of Poland in 1939, the Radziwiłł family was expelled from the castle by the Red Army. In Soviet times, the castle was used as a sanatorium, while the park gradually fell into neglect.

The castle complex is considered to be the most beautiful in Belarus. In 2005 it was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

The castle complex was extensively restored from 2004–2012.

Cecilio Báez

Cecilio Báez González (January 1, 1862 – June 18, 1941) was provisional President of Paraguay from December 8, 1905 to November 25, 1906. He was a member of the Liberal Party.

Early life and career
Dr. Cecilio Báez González was born in Asunción, capital of Paraguay on February 1, 1862. His parents were Nicholas Báez and Faustina González. His brothers were Otoniel, Benjamin, Modesta and Restituta Báez González.

He was married for 25 years to Marcelina Allende of Caazapa, daughter of Polycarpo Allende and Rosario Monges. They had 14 children, including Amadeo Báez Allende, Arminda Báez Allende, and Nicolas Báez Allende.

He studied at National College of the Capital in 1878. After a year, he served as an intern at Santa Rosa for the monthly sum of 25 patacones.

He was in the first class in which the National University of Asuncion issued the first three diplomas of doctors in Law and Social Sciences on July 15, 1893. The diplomas were handed out in the following order: Cecilio Báez González, Gaspar Villamayor and Emeterio González.

He had a love of writing, which he expressed as a journalist and writer and was also dedicated to teaching and politics.

He served as dean of law, gave lectures in history, and was dean of the National University.

During the government of José Félix Estigarribia, he was appointed Honorary Perpetual Dean of the Universidad Nacional. During his long career, he received several international honors, including membership in the Society of Social Sciences of Philadelphia in the United States, the Academia de Historia Havana and Société Académique de l'Histoire International Paris.

His written works included essays on civil liberties, autocracy in Paraguay, José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia and dictatorship in South America, and a survey history of Paraguay.

He wrote several legal and historical works. He was known as Master of the Paraguayan Youth. He created one of the most comprehensive libraries of Paraguay. He died in Asuncion on June 18, 1941, at the age of 79 years.

Political career
He was interim President of the Republic, elected by the Assembly on December 9, 1905 to replace Juan Bautista Gaona who was deposed. His cabinet was composed as follows: as Minister of Interior was Jose Emilio Perez, as Finance Minister Emiliano González Navero; in Foreign Affairs, Cayetano A. Carreras and the minister of War and Navy was Benigno Ferreira. This was a period in which political instability did not prevent economic prosperity, as the country grew despite the frequent changes in power.

During his government the first cars were imported to Paraguay; the libraries belonging to Enrique Solano Lopez and Blas Garay, the Military Hospital was built and several streets were paved. In the field of education there were 347 primary schools with 30,000 pupils, while the University had 195 registered and 37 teachers, and the National College with 633 students and 72 teachers. They operated the Faculties of Law, Notaries, Medicine and Pharmacy.

Political biography
He participated in the creation of the Democratic Centre (later Liberal Party) on July 10, 1887, which meant he was exiled in 1891 when members of the party attempted a coup d'etat; he was able to return to Paraguay in 1892. As well as President of the Republic, Báez worked as a lawyer, Senator, President of the Superior Court of Justice and Minister of Foreign Affairs, a professor and, during the government of Félix Paiva, one of the signatories of the Peace Treaty with Bolivia, after the end of the Chaco War.

He served as chancellor for the presidents Juan B. Gaona in 1904, Benigno Ferreira in 1906 and Albino Jara in 1911. In Mexico, he headed a delegation in 1903, and in Great Britain and France in 1919. He attended meetings held in Mexico, Chile and Cuba as a spokesman of international law. In Mexico (1902) he successfully defended the thesis of binding arbitration. He was also the president of the Congress of the International Commission of Jurists in Montevideo in 1914.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:02, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Moore

Patrick M.
Someone seems to be under the impression that Patrick M. played pinochio. If this is indeed so, perhaps this fact should be included in the corresponding article. I doubt whether anyone who may be searching for this celebrity astronomer would identify him as involved in amateur theatricals. I have therefore made the appropriate modifications. --YuriBCN 16:15, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

List of famous people
This list also appears in Moore (surname) page. Having the same kind of information in two places leads inevitably to errors or confusion. For me, the best is to move the whole list in the Moore (surname) page. Who can tell who is more 'famous' than others ? For how long ? Philippe —Preceding comment was added at 07:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

To Josh Parris:

Hi, I just realized that you deleted the carefully compiled list of people named Moore from this disambiguation page. What on earth made you do that, and why, on top of that, did you hide it as a minor edit?

It seems you couldn't even be bothered to compare the list here with that at List of people before embarking on your deletionist venture. If you had done so, you might have noticed that lots of names are missing from the list you are referring to, possibly orphaning quite a number of stubs. If you had carefully transferred all new pieces of information to the "List of people", we could have argued what the point of removing material from a disambiguation page might be. The way you acted, however, seems rather irresponsible.

Please be more careful in the future. All the best,  21:33, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * A suggestion, perhaps what is needed is an expansion of the List of people by name: Moo-Moq to include all those people named Moore listed on this page. And then use this disambiguation page to link to that list?  That seems to be the way Wikipedia is going as pages expand, otherwise we'd end up with a phenomenally long page listing all the places, people, significant mentions etc of the name Moore.  Just a thought.  Ammi 13:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Info on name
how about some information on the surname itself User:voodoom 15:23, March 6, 2006 (PacificTime)
 * done an initial explanation of spellings and meanings. I'm not 100% sure of the accuracy of the last meaning - (association with Moorage and boating) so discussion may be needed on this point.  Also, the first paragraph seems a bit convoluted, not sure how to express what I mean in a simpler way,  any help would be welcome. Ammi 13:24, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Article or disambiguation page
This page is problematic as a disambiguation page. People looking for something Moore will have a bit of a time trying to find the appropriate article from here. My suggestion would be to rename the main part of this article to Moore (surname) and create a standard dab page for Moore.

The surname page would include the details about its origin, etc. and a link to a list of people with the surname and/or a list of links to articles to an important subset of that list.

The dab page would be just that, a standard WP:MOSDAB page for the word Moore.

Objections? Thoughts? John (Jwy) 16:29, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

 * A year is long enough! I've made these changes.  I've tried to keep it to the people to people that are known by their last names.  I'm not sure I have the best list, but let's keep it short. (John User:Jwy talk) 03:00, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Problem?
There seems to be an article on someone named Moore under Geography. Is that the correct place? Or did something get deleted by accident? rhmoore 21:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

C.S. Lewis

 * I've moved it here in case somebody wants it - and deleted it from the article:

There has been some speculation among some Lewis scholars as to the nature of the relationship between Lewis and Jane Moore. Lewis for most of his life introduced Moore as his "mother" to all his acquaintances. Lewis was exceptionally reticent on the matter in his autobiography, writing only "All I can or need to say is that my earlier hostility to the emotions was very fully and variously avenged". The biographer A. N. Wilson declared categorically that they had been intimate during the period of his convalescence, but this seems to be based on few and poorly interpreted letters, and owes something to Wilson's tendency to psychological interpretation. Walter Hooper, Lewis's literary executor, allowed that it was possible, but as a late acquaintance his data are all derivative, as are Wilson's. George Sayer, who was a student of Lewis and later a friend, wrote that, after talking to Jane Moore's daughter Maureen (later Maureen Dunbar), he was quite certain that they were lovers. At any rate, their friendship was certainly a very close one. In December 1917 Lewis wrote in a letter to his childhood friend Arthur Greeves that Jane and Greeves were "the two people who matter most to me in the world."

After the war, in 1918 or 1919, Lewis and Moore shared a house, although Lewis also kept rooms at his college, and in 1930, they and Lewis's brother, Warren Lewis, moved into "The Kilns", a house in Risinghurst, Headington (a suburb of Oxford). They all contributed financially to the purchase of the house, which passed to Lady Dunbar of Hempriggs, Moore's daughter, when Warren died in 1973.

Moore has been much criticized for being possessive and controlling and making Lewis do a lot of housework. However, she was also a warmhearted, affectionate and hospitable woman who was well liked by her neighbours at The Kilns. "She was generous and taught me to be generous, too", Lewis said to his friend George Sayer.

Moore suffered from dementia in her later years and was eventually moved into a nursing home, where she died in 1951. Lewis visited her every day in this home until her death. (John User:Jwy talk) 00:56, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, that wasn't vandalism!
I think it makes sense to put famous people at the top, and I'm re-instating my attempt to start this with John Moore. Famous people are surely the most likely targets. I am not suggesting JM is the only one, GE Moore also qualifies; but they do need to be rescued from the rabble, simply for convenience. Famousness may be assessed by googling. <"John Moore" 1809> scores 64,000, and <"John Moore"  Corunna> 23,000.

The suggestion for a Moore (surname) page is a good one. John Wheater 10:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Okay, I'll work on reducing this article significantly this weekend and moving things to the surname. (John User:Jwy talk) 14:54, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Famous people lost again - and potentially rescued
Surely the most likely enquirers for Moore are those looking for world-famous people (see my note above). I suggest a 'World-famous people' page should be the first for Moore, with reference to other Moore surnames, places, film stars, TV shows etc.

The present situation is dire, with the most famous Moore (Sir John, d. Corunna 1809) being almost impossible to find.

I'd make the change myself, but lack the skills... —Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnWheater (talk • contribs) 22:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've made two new sections at the start, "Well-known people" and  "People in general".  A degree of well-knownness is needed to get an entry at all, but I haven't addressed that.

 * What I have done is to rescue some famous people from the ruck, and put them under a "Famous people" section, while leaving them intact on the "Moore surname" page.

 * I have ranked them in order of fame, using the formula:  rank = 20*y + (g-5)   where y is number of years since death (zero if alive), and g is the number of thousands of google hits.  g needs to be taken from a tailored google search, that is  e.g. <"Michael Moore" film director>  <"Henry Moore" sculptor>,   rather than just <"Michael Moore">

 * Some such formula should produce a more concise list of entries likely to be sought. John Wheater (talk) 19:17, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * What is the point of havving some of the people with this surname listed on this article? Wouldn't it be better if they were all on the List of people with surname Moore, which is linked from this article? Listing some on both pages in not usually what is done when there is a separate article for those with a surname. Determining notability by Google is not accurate, and in any case, the List article should include everyone with the surname who has an article on English Wikipedia.

Gerard Ee

Gerard Ee Hock Kim (born 1949) is a public figure championing social service rights and issues in Singapore. He is the son of the late Ee Peng Liang, a Singaporean philanthropist and the Father of Charity in Singapore.

Career
Ee became a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales in 1972. In 1974 Gerard began his career as an accountant, becoming a practicing auditor in 1976. Gerard was made a Partner of the Ernst and Young accounting firm, where he remained in the position until his retirement on 30 June 2005.

Ee had also served in various capacities as he was a Nominated Member of Parliament from 1997 to 2002. He was appointed the President of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) from 1 August 2002, and Chairman of the Public Transport Council. He also was a member of the National Medical Ethics Committee, and the Governing Council of Singapore Institute of Management, and chairperson positions for the Medifund Advisory Council, ITE College East Advisory Council, Hai Sing Catholic School Management Committee. Gerard is also the Chairman of the Finance Standing Committee of the North East Community Development Council.

Ee has been a Fellow of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore since 2005.

In 2006, Ee retired from his position as President of the National Council of Social Service, and also as President of the Automobile Association of Singapore on 31 May in the same year.

He was appointed as Chairman of Tiger Airways in 2009.

In January 2012, Ee took charge of the Ministerial Salary Review Committee which was in charge of reviewing Singapore ministers' salary. The need for the committee arose because of popular discontent towards ministers being paid too handsome a salary which was particularly notable during the 2011 General Elections as a sensitive topic that was raised on several occasions. Upon Ee's chairmanship of the committee, pay cuts of up to 53 per cent were recommended for the ministers. Other significant suggested changes include the removal of the pension scheme for all political appointment holders and the cut in the President's salary by 51 per cent, which is, for the first time in history, lower than that of the Prime Minister's.

National Kidney Foundation scandal
Two weeks into his retirement from Ernst and Young, Ee was called upon by the Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan to help restore public confidence in the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), which was dealt with a corruption controversy by the former chief executive officer of the Foundation, T. T. Durai and certain board members. Khaw named Ee, on 15 July 2005, as the interim Chairman and acting CEO of the National Kidney Foundation Singapore and charged him with the task of conducting a full independent audit of NKF in the following week. Ee was officially appointed as NKF chairman on 17 July 2005.

Benigno Ferreira

Benigno Asunción Ferreira (January 13, 1846 – June 14, 1920) was President of Paraguay between the end of 1906 and 1908. He was a member of the Liberal Party.

The general and doctor in law Benigno Ferrerira was one of the main protagonists in the postwar period of' ‘70 and one of the most respected political leaders of his era.

Early life
Benigno was born January 13, 1846, in Mora Cué, a town which nowadays belongs to Limpio, the former Tapuá Grande. His parents were Joaquin Angel Mora Coene and María Concepción Ferreira; their marriage could not be legalized because of a lack of permission from the dictator Francia, then at the end of his life. Despite being a recognized son, Benigno chose to take the mother's maiden name. He had two sisters, Susana (married to Silvestre Aveiro) and Mercedes (married to Federico Guillermo Baez, former president of the Constitutional Convention of 1870).

The entry into the Colegio de San Carlos de Asunción was forbidden to young Benigno by order of Don Carlos Antonio López, president of the republic, as his father was a political opponent.

Historian Manuel Pesoa mentions that his godfather was the Argentine consul general Jose Tomas Ramirez, representing general Justo José de Urquiza, who allowed Benigno to study at the Colegio del Uruguay in the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina. There, Benigno Ferreira got to socialize with other young Argentines and Paraguayans.

He later moved to Buenos Aires to begin his studies of law at the University of Buenos Aires. His studies were interrupted by the outbreak of war against Paraguay 1865.

Political career
The Paraguayan colony in Buenos Aires was formed by families who had left their homeland for political reasons. Influenced by the liberal ideas dominant in Buenos Aires at the time, they criticized the authoritarianism of the López (Carlos Antonio and Francisco Solano) and their heavy-handed police. A group of Paraguayan students began organizing a united front to fight the regime of Asunción. They published articles in the press in Buenos Aires and even signed manifestos. Ferreira himself was a full-fledged liberal.

All this activity was closely followed by Lopez's agents, who took harsh reprisals against Benigno's mother "due to the criminal conduct of his son." Mrs. Concepcion was seized and tortured, so she would testify against her missing son. This was the context when the Triple Alliance War started, and as he joined the pro-Triple Alliance Paraguayan Legion at the age of 19.

When he learnt of the secret clause of the Treaty of the Triple Alliance, Benigno Ferreira reportedly appeared in person before General Urquiza to convey the following: "We have been deceived. The treaty of alliance is a disgrace to the signatory governments, an insult to my homeland and a mockery to civilization." Ferreira resigned and returned to Buenos Aires to devote himself to journalism in the newspaper "La Republica", in whose columns he lambasted the Alliance.

After the occupation of Asunción in 1869 by allied forces, Benigno Ferreira was appointed captain of the port of the capital. In September 1869 he joined the Freemasons. In the following month he was among the drafters of the newspaper "La Regeneración", the first in Paraguayan history to be wholly private. In 1870, he was elected member of the committee of “The Great People's Club” led by Facundo Machaín and a few days later assumed command of a battalion of National Guard with the rank of Sergeant Major.

An important character from an early age in Paraguayan politics, he became Minister of War and Navy in 1871 during the government of Cirilo Antonio Rivarola. In the troubled atmosphere of the reorganization of the Public State, he took over a bench in the Lower House and later served as minister of Justice. He dealt with three armed revolts in the years ‘73 and ‘74. As a result of the last amongst these, he was forced to endure a long exile (1874–1895), a period in which obtained a doctorate in law in Buenos Aires. He found upon his return a divided Liberal Party, this time between civics and radicals.

He actively participated in the civil war in 1904 when the Pact of Pilcomayo was signed. When the new government was installed, he went back to the position of minister of War and Navy and later became a member of the Supreme Court. On November 25, 1906, he took the first magistracy.

His Cabinet was composed of Emiliano González Navero as vice-president, Adolfo Soler as Minister of Finance, Manuel Brítez as Minister of the Interior, Carlos Isasi in the Ministry of Justice, Guillermo de los Rios as Minister for Religious Affairs and Public Instruction, Manuel Duarte as Minister of War and Navy and Cecilio Báez as Chancellor.

As President
His government established new telegraph lines, the Normal School moved to Villarica and the number of primary schools increased. He also closed military courses and built barracks in the towns of the countryside as well as a new building for the capital customs.

On the other hand, he settled a long conflict with the large railroad company, the Bank of the Republic was founded, the Soler-Pinilla Treaty with Bolivia was signed, and military equipment was acquired from Europe; the army had recently been rebuilt from the ground up after the 1904 Revolution.

The civics, his wing of the Liberal Party, were defeated in 1908 by a coalition of radical Liberals and Colorados, and Benigno Ferreira was forced to resign.

Later years
He marched into exile once again. He died in Buenos Aires in 1920. His coffin was transferred directly to the Government Palace in Asuncion for the wake.

Emiliano González Navero

Emiliano González Navero (16 June 1861 – 18 October 1934) was a Paraguayan politician of the Liberal Party, he served as President of Paraguay on three occasions and as Vice President of Paraguay on two occasions.

His life
He was one of the great survivors of the War against Triple Alliance. He attended elementary school at his beloved hometown and high school at the Colegio Nacional de la Capital.

He was graduated from Law School at the Universidad Nacional de la Capital. Practiced law in 1887 and then acted in the judicial branch as a judge during the government of Juan Antonio Escurra. He was married to Mrs. Adela Lima, who died on 7 September 1928. Emiliano, retired from any public activity, died at home, very far away from his country, in the United States on 18 October 1934.

His Administration
He was three times President of the Republic. Also, he was elected as Vice President of the Republic, holding the same position under the presidencies of Benigno Ferreira from 1906 to 1908 and José Patricio Guggiari from 1928 to 1932.

Upon Ferreira was overthrown by the coup of 2 July 1908, González Navero assumed the temporary presidency on July 5 of that year. After the constitutional period expired, he handed the position over to Manuel Gondra on 25 November 1910. Less than two months later, this President resigned and a period of anarchy started in the country, which led him again to take the temporary presidency on 25 March 1912. A few months later, on 15 August 1912, he handed over command to constitutional president Eduardo Schaerer, which meant the beginning of using such date as the starting date for future presidential terms. During his second term peace was reached in the country, after two long years of civil war.

He later served again as Vice President of José Patricio Guggiari from 1928 to 1932, and in that capacity acted as substitute of president from 26 October 1931 to 28 January 1932 because Guggiari temporarily resigned to undergo impeachment following the unfortunate events of 23 October 1931.

His Administration was formed by the following politicians: Foreign Affairs, Dr. Félix Paiva; Internal Affairs, Eduardo Schaerer, Finance, Dr. Gerónimo Zubizarreta (who later became a prestigious Minister of Foreign Affairs and defender of national sovereignty), Justice, Religion and Public Education, Dr. Manuel Franco, and War and Navy, Manuel Gondra.

Achievements under his administration
Some of the achievements during his administration were: the creation of the Naval School of Mechanics, amnesty for political crimes, enactment of a Rural Code, granting scholarships to many young artists, the free and mandatory elementary school was implemented, development of railway in Concepción and creation of several municipalities in cities throughout the country, on the other hand there were harsh political repression and newspapers were closed down.

Paraguay participated in the International Congress of Art Education, which took place in Dresden, Germany, the sum of $2800 gold seal was allocated to the delegation that attended the Congress of American Students held in Lima, Peru, and J. Inocencio Lezcano and Jose del Rosario Ayala were appointed as teachers in the National Council of Education. They were dissolved The Fire Department and the Security Guard was dissolved and the Naval School of Mechanics founded.

On 1 May 1912, reorganization of the Army was ordered, and the following officials entered as second lieutenants: Emilio Pastore, Alfredo Mena, Carlos J. Fernandez, Blas Miloslavich and Nicolas Delgado. On the same date, Rolando Ibarra entered as captain, and on 11 June of that year he was appointed Assistant to the President.

The Banco Hipotecario was founded; in addition many streets of the capital city were paved and a test of wood cobblestone was made on Palma, Alberdi and 14 de Mayo Streets. For the first time, the cities of Villarrica, Pilar, Encarnación and Concepción appointed their respective mayors; a new central market was built on Palma Street and the Museo de Bellas Artes of Juan Silvano Godoi opened. The government granted important support to Literature and Arts, the Museo de Bellas Artes was created; a contribution was made to establish an Art School. A scholarship was granted to Andres Campos Cervera (Julian de la Herreria) to study in Canada, also to Eusebio A. Lugo, Guillermo Galindo and Eduardo Molinas Rolón de Arrascaeta. There were auxiliary positions for musicians Agustin Barrios and Ampelio Villalba.

In journalism, "El Nacional" emerged on 1 February 1910, and six magazines and eight newspapers were issued.

Political career
Don Emiliano moved always politically in the "radical" sector of liberalism. He was part of the judicial branch and President of the Supreme Court of Justice on 28 November 1890. In February 1895, he joined the unified Congress, led by Benigno Ferreira. He served in the Liberal Party, being part of the Congress and on 19 December 1904, joined the Administration of Juan Bautista Gaona as Minister of Finance of Paraguay and served in the same function also during the government of Cecilio Báez, resigning on 28 April 1906, in order to join Ferreira in his route to the Presidency.

González Navero was president of the Senate in 1906-1908, 1922, 1924, 1928-1931 and 1932.

After Ferreira was removed, González Navero became head of the Executive Branch on 4 July 1908, although it was only on 31 December 1908 that the resignation of Ferreira was formally accepted. The signature of Don Emiliano does not appear in the Founding Act of the Centro Democratico, neither in the Public Statement of 4 July 1908, initiated by Albino Jara and closed by Adolfo Riquelme.

Manuel Gondra

Manuel Gondra Pereira (1 January 1871 – 8 March 1927) was the 21st President of Paraguay who served from 25 November 1910 to 11 January 1911 and again from 15 August 1920 to 31 October 1921. Born in Buenos Aires, he was also an author, a journalist and a member of the Liberal Party. His first presidency was ended by the rise of Albino Jara, and his second presidency by the Paraguayan Civil War of 1922, in which he led the Gondrist faction to victory.

Manuel Gondra died on 8 March 1927 in Asunción.

Early life and career
Manuel Gondra was born on the 1 January 1871, Buenos Aires. Although he did well in school and was reportedly a good student, he chose to leave schooling, never achieving a diploma. Rather, he chose to be a self-taught scholar of many subjects, including the social sciences, history of the Americas, and geography. He received some success in this field. However, his career as an intellectual came to a pause when he joined the Revolution of 1904 on the side of the Liberals. After this, he became the Plenipotentiary ambassador to Brazil in 1905. His diligence would see him later be assigned as the Minister of the Interior, then Minister of War and Navy, and then Minister of Foreign Affairs of Paraguay.

In 1917 he was also made ambassador to the United States, a position he held until his second term as president started.

First tenure
Manuel Gondra's initial candidacy was widely supported by both intellectuals and the citizenry of Paraguay. He assumed office on 25 November 1910. As president of a Paraguay reeling from internal crises, Gondra was written by Arturo Bray as having an "abulic temperament, to the despair of his friends, which has cost the country so much blood."

Gondra's presidency came to an end when Colonel Albino Jara launched a coup against him on 17 August 1911, despite sharing similar political agenda. This was a result of the collapsing liberal movement in Paraguay.

Second tenure
After much of the chaos following Jara's coup subsided, Manuel Gondra sought re-election. His campaign was met with victory, and he assumed office on 15 August 1920. However, this was not without its controversy. Immediately following, the supporters of the opposing candidate, schaereristas, and their leader Eduardo Schaerer (who Gondra formerly served under) erupted into violence, in what became the Paraguayan Civil War. In this emerging civil war, Eduardo Schaerer pressured the Interior Minister José Guggiari (a close ally) to resign, but Gondra resisted. For this pressure and lost power, he was forced into resignation on 31 October 1921.

Talk:The Iron Dream

"Fascist" not the correct adjective?
The article talks about "pro-fascism narrative". That would be soft-core literature then? Mussolini for example, was fascist, in the sense of Robert_Paxton but he would not have gone down the way of what one can only describe as full-on bat-out-of-hell "Hitlerism". It is a particular worldview (a recent article on this at Understanding Hitler’s Anti-Semitism). Maybe change this? There is a T101 in your kitchen (talk) 12:48, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Banned in Germany?
How sure are we that the book was banned in Germany? The cover copy on the version I have says BANNED IN GERMANY--BURNING INTO HISTORY--ADOLF HITLER'S BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL! right above a picture of good ol' Adolf with a red cape on a futuristic motorcycle. So is there another source for this? I doubt the veracity of the cover copy. grendel|khan 21:39, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

It definitely was banned in Germany as "glorifying national-socialist worldviews". I can remember Spinrad on TV being asked about this. He scoffed and (accurately, IMHO, but I liked it nevertheless) said that the at-the-times rather popular Perry Rhodan series was the one promoting the fascist worldview. The German Wikipedia has more on this: "Indiziert" from 1982-04-09 to 1985. There is a T101 in your kitchen (talk) 12:34, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Banned or not
Okay, I wrote to Spinrad himself on this, and here's what he told me:

"It was put on the "Index," and that is what they call it. Under German law, anyone can complain to an authority called the "Bundesprufsteller" (but don't trust my spelling or German), made up of ministers, priests, other such non-governmental notables, that a book, record, movie, whatever, is dangerous to the mental health of youth whether it was intended for youth or not. The offending item is guilty until proven innocent once it is indexed, but in the meantime it is not entirely banned.  During the 8 years THE IRON DREAM was on the Index while the publisher, Heyne Verlag, fought all the way up through the legal system to the German equivalent of the Supreme Court and eventually won, it could be sold, but not advertised or publically displayed. That is the summary of 8 years of complicated legal action." DS 23:34, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Great work! Wonder why I didn't think of that. Some quick googling shows that the Bundesprüfstelle (BPS) became active (or re-activated) in February 1982, and that one of the first books it banned was The Iron Dream. (According to Google's translator, Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Schriften means "federal inspection station for youth-endangering writings", which sounds about right.) There's an article on de, which I've  requested be translated. grendel|khan 17:17, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien (all media, not just writing) looks just about finished. Now, how to incorporate this... DS 14:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but the information on that page is, ahem, less than exact. Neither is the BPJM "Willhelmian" nor was it (re)activated in 1982. I took the liberty of correcting that ;-)   Killersepp 03:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Removed spoiler warning
I removed the spoiler warning. It should be quite obvious to anybody that an article discussing a book will "give away" plot details. --Morningmusic 13:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

 * That may be true, but it is nevertheless standard practice to have them. --Gwern (contribs) 15:56, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, The spoiler warning should stay. wtf did you remove it? any other article about a fictional work has a spoiler warning. 121.44.0.182 06:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Dystopian?
It seems to me Spinrad is postulating a world where, given Hitler doesn't become Führer, things actually go a great deal worse, including a nuclear war in Europe. Can this be substantiated? Trekphiler 07:06, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't know how you are reading that into it. It's Hitler's war which forces his enemies into detonating the bomb after their total defeat and imminent annihilation. --Gwern (contribs) 16:13 9 June 2007 (GMT)

 * If he was postulating a world where Hitler does not become Führer and things actually get a great deal worse, what is the problem? And how do you expect this to be substantiated? You seem to assume it to be possible to establish evidence to prove/disprove this possibility. How do you expect anyone to be able to do this, when we are talking about a fictional story about and alternative future? If you have the ability of trans-dimensional travel, please let us know!

 * Your sarcasm is not warranted here. It's obvious that Trekphiler is wrong, since the entire story, up until the end, is an idealized and exaggerated version of what Hitler and the Nazis would have liked to do. In the story, the Hitler-analogue takes total control of Helm, utterly eliminates every last mutant and non-Aryan in his country through perfect and scientific methods, and then utterly obliterates his enemies.
 * In reality, Hitler's genocide was not nearly so successful or thorough as the Hitler-analogue's is portrayed as being, his military campaigns not nearly so successful (needless to say), etc. Spinrad's ending is ambiguous: from our liberal democratic POV, the ending demonstrates that even when things go perfectly for the Nazis, their ideology and actions are so insane and destructive that they literally cause the end of the world (by not respecting nuclear deterrence); but from the Helm/Nazi POV, the ending is quite satisfactory, as the old impure world is cleansed of its evil life and only selected pure new specimens go on to colonize newer and better worlds.
 * If we haven't figured out the dual role of the story, where we as typical fantasy/sci-fi readers mindlessly identify with the allegory and root for the Nazis, then the epilogue makes it brutally clear (to our chagrin) that we can understand the rise of the Nazis (which rise is piously declaimed as un-understandable and a deep mystery why the sensible and civilized Germans could ever have whole-heartedly embraced fascism) as merely a result of the same tendencies to which the inner story of The Iron Dream appealed to. In short, by reading the inner story and not realizing that the ethics and morals of fantasy literature when applied to the real world are the same thing as fascism, we learn that we all have a little Nazi inside.
 * I hope that makes this clearer for you. --Gwern (contribs) 13:06 5 August 2007 (GMT)

 * It is clear Trekphiler is talking about the world Homer Whipple portrays rather than the world the fictional Hitler wrote about. Whipple portrays a world where with no Nazi Germany to stop it the USSR has taken over all of Europe and is making inroads to South America.  You also have the US and Empire of Japan moving toward military alliance which if that Japan is anything like the Japan of OTL 1930s should give you pause.--BruceGrubb (talk) 04:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Not entirely impossible. In 1920, Lenin tried to violently export the revolution by way of army (through the newformed Ukraine and Poland, with the targets Berlin and Rome). The advance was stopped by the Poles in front of Warshaw. This not-too-well-known episode of history is described in "Warsaw 1920: Lenin's Failed Conquest of Europe" by Adam Zamoyski. Notable facts include that Jews in the combat zone got a raw deal from both sides of the warrying factions, that the Entente powers were not exactly helping Poland because hailing the Red Revolution was the politically correct thing to do and that future Nazis were quite probably reading the newspapers, which could well be seen as a major impetus for their later push towards the east. 2001:7E8:C0B6:5B01:223:54FF:FE15:1831 (talk) 17:31, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Strange sentence

 * "Notably, in this version of the Second World War there is no analogue to America, to intevene and put itself in the balance against Germany/Helder - a rather strange omission considering that the book was supposedly written by a Hitler who emigrated to America and had lived there for thirty years at the time of writing."

This sentence doesn't make sense to me. In this alternate history he's a science fiction author. It needs to be elaborated or deleted, the way it's phrased it's only left me puzzled as to what the contributor meant to say.Krum Stanoev 17:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I deleted it; I can't figure out how it would make sense. grendel|khan 14:56, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I guess the person who wrote it was confusing the fictional non-fictional world of the book's fictional Hitler with the book's fictional Hitler's fictional fictional world. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 09:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to thank those who have worked on this article for their impressive handling of a thematically and narratively difficult subject.

original name?
Just curious. I once heard the novel referred to as "Spinrad's LORDS OF THE SWASTIKA", and I've never heard of the IRON DREAM title until just now. Was LORDS... the original title and did it get changed later to IRON DREAM to sound less offensive? (just as Mel Brooks' SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER got renamed THE PRODUCERS?) Or am I just confused? If I am right I think the name change would be worth mentioning. 71.56.67.215 (talk) 02:47, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * "Lord of the Swastika" is the internal name, the title of Adolf's story. "The Iron Dream" is Spinrad's (or his publisher's) repackaged version.--Michael C. Price talk 10:46, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Interestingly I remember a german edition of the early 80's entitled "Der Stählerne Traum" (The Dream of Steel) instead of what would be the correct translation "Der Eiserne Traum". It sounds more Prussian I reckon. "Hart wie Kruppstahl" etc. A quick check shows that it is still called that way and also brings up pictures of The Mustachioed One on a ludicrous bike :-) 2001:7E8:C0B6:5B01:223:54FF:FE15:1831 (talk) 17:35, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

American Nazi Party
I'm a bit curious about the reality of their reading list with Spinrad on it. While after reading it I'm not entirely sure a Nazi would disaprove, the fact that the author describes himself as an anarchist (and reading Iron Dream could lead readers to read his other books, therefore reading clearer "anti-nazi" material) is making me think that the ANP can't really be stupid enough to include the book on their list. Since I'm not really good at understanding the whole US Nazi movement (I'm french), I'm a bit lost when it comes to find out an official reading list :D Is there any link to it, any paper published with it or only a quote from Spinrad himself ? (posted by 82.67.87.211)

 * ...that's a good question. So far, I think it's only a quote from Spinrad himself -- if you check Science Fiction in the Real World, or perhaps the issue of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in which that essay was originally printed (unless it's one of the originals, I dunno!), you might get more details. DS (talk) 12:53, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Heldon
This french electronic/progressive band is named after the book, and sets it partially in music (Electronique Guérilla, 1974). Spinrad himself contributed to their albums. (I don't trust my english to put it in the article.) Sagrontanmutti (talk) 17:35, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

This article is full of WP:EASTEREGG links that are rather loaded and OR. If we are going to include interpretation of the plot, we can't hide it in veiled links, we have to provide a source that makes that interpretation. I will remove the OR/interpretive easteregg links if there are no comments.

Confusing Sentence
in the introductory section. the first sentence of the 2nd paragraph: "Spinrad was intent on demonstrating just how close Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces—and much science fiction and fantasy literature—can be to the racist ideology of Nazi Germany."

even taking the extraneous out, i get "Spinrad was intent on demonstrating just how close [the book] can be to the racist ideology of Nazi Germany."

is it supposed to be "just how close The Hero with a Thousand Faces came to being the racist..."??

if so, it's still not very well-written. "to being" should be....something else. "how close it came to being a reflection of the racist..." or "how close it came to nearly justifying the racist..." or even a larger change -- "Spinrad was intent on demonstrating how [the book]-and other sci-fi/fantasy literature-can be linked to the racist ideology of..."

i haven't read the book, so i really don't know exactly what was meant by that sentence. (my guess is it was meant to be more like my first rough suggestion.) and i hope my "rough suggestions" and shortcuts weren't too confusing in themselves.Colbey84 (talk) 08:13, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I parse it as "Spinrad was intent on demonstrating just how close (Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces—and much science fiction and fantasy literature—) can be to the racist ideology of Nazi Germany." It makes sense as that to me. I have read the Iron Dream, though not Campbell, and it does make sense William M. Connolley (talk) 09:01, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I also stumbled on this sentence. It sounded like Campbell itself is close to a racist ideology, although I interpret Spinread that he talks about the hero. I therefore rewrote the sentence like that. --Cyfal (talk) 00:27, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

"Hitler's other published works include..."
Are these noteworthy enough for a WP:PLOTSUMMARY? They look like cute easter-eggs that someone who read it decided deserved mention in this article, but that in the actual book are throw-away references. Full disclosure, I haven't read this book; I was only linked here by the WP:EASTEREGG guideline, and was surprised to find some quasi-EASTEREGG links on this page. Hijiri 88 ( 聖やや ) 07:46, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

 * In my view, the problem whith these links is both that they are WP:EASTEREGG-links and that the identification done is WP:OR. I must admit sometimes the identification is quite obvious as in the case Triumph of the Will. However, sometimes the identification is not that clear, e.g. in the case "Storm" and Der Stürmer. The German word Stürmer means attacker, but is also related to the word "stürmig" i.e. stormy. On the other hand, what's with Sturmabteilung, Sturmtruppen, ...

 * However, I think mentioning these works is ok. "Hitler's biography" (as well as "Whipple's review") is an important part of The Iron Dream, although they are much shorter than "Lord of the Swastika", because it settles the frame for the latter.

 * Thus, I didn't deleted "Hitler"'s works, but deleted the links now.

 * Half disclosure ;-) I read the book myself, but in a German translation only.--Cyfal (talk) 18:05, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Caroline Gordon

Caroline Ferguson Gordon (October 6, 1895 – April 11, 1981) was an American novelist and literary critic who, while still in her thirties, received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1932 and an O. Henry Award in 1934.

Biography
Gordon was born and raised in Todd County, Kentucky at her family's plantation home, "Woodstock". She was educated at her father's Clarksville Classical School for Boys in Montgomery County, Tennessee. In 1916, Gordon graduated from Bethany College and became a writer of society news for the Chattanooga Reporter newspaper in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

In the summer of 1924, Gordon returned home to Kentucky, when she met the poet Allen Tate. She moved with Tate to New York City, where they first lived together in Greenwich Village. They later shared a house with Hart Crane in Patterson, New York. Tate and Gordon wed in New York City on May 15, 1925, and their daughter Nancy was born in September 1925. In 1928, the family traveled to Europe, where they spent the next two years.

After returning from Europe in 1930, Gordon and her family moved to BenFolly, a house they purchased in Clarksville, Tennessee, with the assistance of Tate's brother Ben. Gordon and Tate entertained literary notables such as Robert Lowell, who camped on their lawn one summer. Other visitors included F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, T. S. Eliot, Robert Penn Warren, and Ford Madox Ford. Ford served as a mentor to Gordon, counseling her on her literary work and prodding her into completing her first novel Penhally, published in 1931. Gordon received the Guggenheim and the O. Henry during this early period. The O. Henry was a unique second-place prize awarded for her 1934 short story "Old Red", published in Scribner's Magazine. Gordon's early fiction was influenced by her association with the Southern Agrarians. Paul V. Murphy writes that she "exhibited a southern nostalgia as strong as any member of the group, including Davidson, the most unreconstructed of the Agrarians". Between 1934 and 1972, Gordon published nine additional novels, five written during the late 1930s and World War II.

Tate and Gordon moved to Monteagle, Tennessee, in 1942. At some point in the 1940s, they moved to Princeton, New Jersey, to a house they named BenBrackets. In 1945, Gordon and Tate divorced, but they remarried in 1946 and moved back to New York City.

Gordon became a friend and mentor to novelists Walker Percy and Flannery O'Connor. Gordon also became a close friend of author Brainard Cheney and his wife, Frances (Fanny) Neel Cheney. Brainard Cheney considered Gordon to be his "literary mentor." According to Cheney, she taught him to write literature as compared to his previous occupation as a crime reporter. On November 24, 1947, Gordon converted to Catholicism. Influenced by Gordon, the Cheneys also converted to Catholicism. Gordon introduced the couple to Flannery O'Connor, with whom they became close friends.

Gordon divorced Tate in 1959 on grounds of desertion. Tate remarried four days later, but he and Gordon remained correspondents and friends until Tate's death in 1979.

In her later years, Gordon moved to San Cristóbal de las Casas in Chiapas, Mexico. On March 1, 1981, she suffered a stroke. Gordon died six weeks later, following surgery, at age 85.

Shock sensitivity

Shock sensitivity is a comparative measure of the sensitivity to sudden compression (by impact or blast) of an explosive chemical compound. Determination of the shock sensitivity of a material intended for practical use is one important aspect of safety testing of explosives. A variety of tests and indices are in use, of which one of the more common is the Rotter Impact Test with results expressed as FoI (Figure of Insensitivity.) At least four other impact tests are in common use, while various "gap tests" are used to measure sensitivity to blast shock.

Sensitivities vary widely
A few materials such as nitrogen triiodide cannot be touched at all without detonating, and so are of purely academic interest. Some other compounds with a high sensitivity to shock, such as nitroglycerin and acetone peroxide, may detonate from a firm jolt and so cannot be legally transported in pure form. Acetone peroxide is often used by amateurs and terrorists as a means to detonate other explosives as well as acting as the main blasting agent, often resulting in injuries or death to those who underestimate its sensitivity. A number of methods are known to desensitize nitroglycerine so that it can be transported for medical uses, and it is also incorporated into other less sensitive explosives, such as dynamites and gelignites.

Many practical commercial materials of intermediate sensitivity, such as gelignites and water gel explosives, can be safely handled as they will not explode from casual shocks such as being dropped or lightly knocked by a tool. However, they may explode if struck forcefully by a metal tool, and would certainly explode in the barrel if they were used in an artillery shell. Reliable initiation of such materials requires the small explosion of a detonator. Apart from this another explosive material such as Armstrong's mixture is also used in commercial markets and even sold to the public in the form of fireworks, cap guns and party poppers.

Still less sensitive materials such as blasting agents like ANFO, are so insensitive that the impulse from the detonator must be amplified by an explosive booster charge to secure reliable detonation. Some polymer bonded explosives — especially those based on TATB — are designed for use in insensitive munitions, which are unlikely to detonate even if struck by another explosive weapon.
