I nominated this image of yours a few weeks ago. • Thorpe • 11:44, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Reply about Lucky
Sorry about that VfD nomination! But that nomination is partially inspired by looking through the Category:Pages on votes for deletion, and I found some listing happened to be users.

Anyway, I will now leave Lucky's user page alone. It's just that at one time, I was put onto RfC which was intimidating for me. --SuperDude 06:13, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

note to Lucky
I just left a note. Also, I remember a time when somebody said that Wikipedians will start throwning muck, and that was a euphanism for anger over problematic edits that I thought were legitimate contributions.

In the past, my original intent of making Superdude was to have a fresh re-start on my habit of contributing to Wikipedia since SamuraiClinton was put up for RFC, but now I realize that sockpuppets will be detected! --SuperDude 06:37, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Polydnavirus
I guess it's not really your field but I wondered if you could take a look at the polydnavirus article with a view to expansion. It's not my field either and I have done all I can with it for now. More eyes/grey cells would be very helpful. []

fvw
true, but a couple months before that he banned tons of people. Also, of you go to the special pages nad go to banned people, fvw banned a shit load []

if you are blocked from wikipedia, is your ip adress blocked for ever. And also, are you also blocked from wikidictiionary too? []

Thank you
Hi Knowledge. This is a bit late, but I want to thank you for your support vote on my RFA. Thanks to everyone who supported me, I have been given admin status and I have been using my new powers to further Wikipedia as a whole. Thank you! Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 23:12, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

No problem on the vandalism reverts.
Actually, watching Recent Changes and catching vandalism gets interesting after a while. (I'm addicted, aren't I?) Ral  315  05:03, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I said that wrong. That's what I'm using.  By the way, 152.163.100.* appear to be back after their original 30 min ban to vandalize.   Ral  315  05:26, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Moving
Howdy! I just noticed on your user page that you're moving to the great state of Minnesota. If you've already moved here, welcome! If not, have a safe and easy move. If you don't mind me asking, which city are you moving to? Cheers, A и D я 01D  TALK  EMAIL  20:02, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!
Nice to be back! I didn't expect any messages so soon...but I'm glad to get them. I about laughed up a lung when I found out SuperDude115 motioned to have my user page deleted. Thanks for setting him straight. Anyway, please do stay in touch and don't hesitate to ask if I can possibly return the favor. - Lucky 6.9 17:53, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

More and more thanks yet again. It's nice to feel wanted around here. :) - Lucky 6.9 15:39, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Problems
You asked once User_talk:Boothy443/Archive_3 i was willing to discuss some issues that i had, well if you are willing to be senceable and have an open mind i am willing to talk. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 08:46, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi Again and other subjects
Hi how are you doing? Aren't you an admin now? Thats cool. Anyway I have this question about templates that I thought you might know the answer to. I've made this warning box on my user page and I want to condense the box on the editing page so that it only needs to have a template tag. Do you know how to make something into a template? If you don't, it's not that important, but if you do I think it would be a lot easier. Rentastrawberry 21:47, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Block and blocklog tabs
Hi KS, Fuzheado, now an admin, doesn't seem to have the block and block log tabs visible to him on user and user talk pages. He asked me how to set it up, but as you did it for me, I have no idea; and I remember you explained it to me, but I still had no idea. ;-) Would you mind telling him how to do it? He's been experiencing a few block conflicts because it's awkward for him to check the log. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:46, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, I just found the note you left for me about it back in April, so I've copied that to Fuzheado's page, and that may be enough for him. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:59, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks folks, I've created the .js file, and think it's a great feature. Any other cool tab hacks out there? Fuzheado | Talk 17:57, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

How to archive a talk page
Yeah, I kind of went slow/short with the archiving because I was concerned about screwing it up and loosing stuff. Anyway, your archive and talk page lengths seem to make sense and I'll try to keep more control in the future. Thanks for getting me off the dime on this, I 'preciate (to quote George W.) your suggestion. ;-) hydnjo talk 17:47, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

WP:FPC
Hi Knowledge Seeker,

I was interested in your comment on Talk:Main_Page about the demotiviting effects of WP:FPC. I'm sure you are not alone in this; I know of at least two other editors who have been put off by the FPC process, and I've had some of my own photos savaged, so I know what it is like. I've often tried to think of ways to improve the guidelines to reduce the negative impact of criticism whilst still maintaining a quality bar. If you have any suggestions for improvements I would be interested. -- Solipsist 7 July 2005 09:45 (UTC)

In doing so, we hope Chicago will become a featured article. To read more or join us in our efforts, please see the WikiProject Chicago page. Thanks!

SPUI's user page
I edited SPUI's user page because it contained offensive content. SPUI sometimes also places offensive and vulgar words in the sandbox. The words "ANAL" and "GAY SEX" on his page is not really suitable. If you think I have done anything wrong, I do apologize. I just thought that bad content should be immediately removed. Should we discuss this matter with other Wikipedians to be sure that SPUI's user page is really OK to stay here? — Stevey7788 (talk) 00:19, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Knowledge Seeker, since you don't think the material is really appropiate either, I just thought I'd stop by and say that I have requested that it be taken down myself, feel free to second my request. Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 19:42, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Away note
Hello Knowledge Seeker,

So you are moving up North! Hmmm, progress on Bengali grammar articles has considerably been slowed down due to your absence. Hope to see you back soon. We need to get that transliteration table up somewhere. Any ideas where might be a good place? Cheers and good luck moving.

-- Urnonav 03:47, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Hey congratulations on your real world achievement. Good to know that I can now also seek professional advice from you on non-Wikipedia stuff. OK, now coming back to our little knowledge world, I put up a table of transliteration and pronunciation guideline (that got registered as anon due to my stupidity and self-inflicted sleep deprivation) on the Bengali script page. If you get time, could you check the IPA symbols? Thanks. -- Urnonav 06:46, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Informing DYK authors
Hi, MacGyverMagic, thanks for all the work you do on WP:DYK. I love seeing the new articles Wikipedia is producing. I was wondering though why you removed the "Older articles" section whose authors hadn't been informed. From your edit summary it appears to be intentional. Did you feel that too much time had passed and that it wasn't worth informing people any more, or perhaps that if no one was going to inform them, that you might as well remove the entries? — Knowledge Seeker দ 23:30, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was pretty much it. The size of the page was becoming unwieldy and I wanted to keep the archive, hoping AllyUnion's bot would come back to do an automatic update on it soon. So removing something from the inform these authors section was my best option. If you think it's important to still contact them, feel free to do so, so the section could be cut down without any such problems. Cheers! - Mgm|(talk) 04:59, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Bangla article
Hello

I was just editing the Bangla article when I noticed my changes were removed and the article reverted to an older revision.

I hate to sound rude, but may I ask why? I realize some of my italicized Bangla translations may have been superfluous, but as a researcher of Bangla linguistics (particularly phonetics and phonology), I feel that those sections need editing. Not only are their grammatical mistakes in the English, but the information is misleading and/or inaccurate.

Please let me know why my revisions are not being considered.

Thanks, Sameer ud Dowla Khan UCLA Department of Linguistics []

 * I came with the same question actually. I just saw the rv. I know at least two of the edits involved a crucial error. There are 11 vowels and there can't be 52 consonants, since there are 52 letters, maximum, which I think got reduced by one after "lee" was removed. Could you explain why the rv was needed?

Forestfire
Hi, VfU is the next likely propagation spot for the forestfire I've been fighting all night. Please keep it out. Thanks!

see for now. I REALLY need some sleep!

Kim Bruning 04:46, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * See: ForestFire for information, see the TBSDYs talk for a timeline as to how it played out. We have had 3 troll infested flamewars on vfd on this topic. Starting a VfU is instant flamewar #4. Bad move. Kim Bruning 04:56, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Forestfires are too fast for that! I grabbed a workable procedure off of meatball and applied it. That's all I can do for now as far as emergency response goes. :-/ pick a page and limit the discussion to there, coordinate with kelly and snowspinner maybe. I'm worn out. Sorry about that. Kim Bruning 05:12, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Appalled
I'm appalled that we managed to get a 3RR violating edit war among administrators on VfU. So I'm pretty much appalled at everyone, and that more as a collective. So no, I'm not appalled at you. I'm appalled at the community. :) Snowspinner 15:08, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

DYK
I'm sorry. I wanted to click on the soleus muscle link in the edit summary of the diff, when I accidentally clicked on the rollback button. I apologise. I've reverted back to your version. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 07:18, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Sheep Vote
In response to your comment about the Sheep Votes article and my response to it in the author's talk page: I'm not sure if you referring to the current version or the version before I removed the attack. I'm going to save myself a post and assume you meant the latter (although I do not believe this is the case).

In it, it singled out a specific user and their voting policies in an article in the Wikipedia namespace. While this may not be the more extreme form of attack (using profanity and the like) I'd say it comes close to being just as bad. Specifically condeming the actions of a user (consistently voting in a certain way without justification), and then associating such actions with Grumpiness and eccentricity is an attack. There are recourses for disagreements with a user, but this was not such an effort. It was an attempt to make a point.

"In the past, many contributors have found their Wikistress levels rising, particularly when an issue important to them has been handled in a way they consider unfair. The contributor may point out inconsistencies, perhaps citing other cases that have been handled differently. And the contributor may postulate: "What if everyone did that?" - a common rhetorical technique. These devices may not persuade for the reasons cited above.

In this situation, it may be tempting to illustrate the point using either parody or some form of breaching experiment. For example, the contributor may apply the decision to other issues in a way that mirrors the policy the contributor objects to. These activities are generally disruptive: i.e., they require the vast majority of nonpartisan editors to clean up after the "proof". Many consider such "point-proving" acts to be vandalism."

This isn't the same exact situation as cited, but it is still an obvious disruption. The article has to be removed and debated... etc.

Sorry, if my tone comes off as hostile, as I am not upset. =) -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 05:48, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm just curious, which revision were you referring to? Thanks. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 06:10, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to let you know that there is an RfC for Boothy443. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 23:39, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again.
Always a pleasure to hear from you. I tell you, there's nothing quite like a user I've never heard of coming from seemingly nowhere to ream me out for trying to help. Sigh...

Anyway, I thought you deserved an answer. Feel free to drop me an e-mail. All the best, Lucky 6.9 16:53, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for Support Saving User Photo
Thank you for the vote to keep my user page. I was banned here a year ago because a tiny minority of admins decided I wasn't suitable, well now I'm back, and I don't plan on getting banned again. It only took this guy Raul654 a few hours of me being reinstated before he started attacking me with his pals. I'm a lot more defensive now than when I started more than a year ago, that's for sure. Once again, thanks for helping me keep my user photo! Plautus satire 15:09, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Newset Articles
I have seen that the Picture of the day section has been put on the front page in place of the Newest Articles section. Three things: First, have the newest articles section been moved? Second, is there still a link somewhere that tells us what the newest articles are, and third, if we keep the picture of the day section on the main page then why do we have it also on the community portal? If that newest articles section is in fact gone, maybe instead it can take the place of the old picture of the day section. If you can, talk to the other admins about this. I would appreciate it because I always thought looking at the newest articles were interesting. Rentastrawberry 05:05, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

Adminship
Hi Knowledge Seeker. Thanks for the very nice note on my talk page, and sorry for the delay in answering. I am also currently rather busy with other work, and cannot visit Wikipedia as often as I wanted to. Congratulations on becoming a doctor by the way. About your Adminship: You're a good admin, and I am very glad that I nominated you. Somehow, when I first had a contact with you, I really liked your calm style, trying to bring common sense and neutrality into a heated discussion. Unfortunately, back then you had only about 600 edits, so I decided to wait till you got 1000 edits. And luckily, your nomination went through with no problems at all. You are only the second admin I nominated (the other one is user:Lupo, also a very good pick). Keep up the good work, and don't get stressed out too much about it. (I recently had a tough phase while trying to defuse a POV dispute, taking a lot of stress and doing a lot of reverts. That wasn't too pretty.) Anyway, best wishes and happy editing -- Chris 73 Talk 10:10, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Massai

Massai (also known as: Masai, Massey, Massi, Mah–sii, Massa, Wasse, Wassil or by the nickname "Big Foot" Massai; c. 1847–1906, 1911? ) was a member of the Mimbres/Mimbreños local group of the Chihenne band of the Chiricahua Apache. He was a warrior who was captured but escaped from a train that was sending the scouts and renegades to Florida to be held with Geronimo and Chihuahua.

It is possible that Massai's true Apache name was Nogusea (meaning "crazy", according to Jason Betzinez and James Kaywaykla); he was enlisted as a member of Chatto's band as known as Ma-Che.

Life
Born to White Cloud and Little Star at Mescal Mountain, Arizona, near Globe. He later married a local Chiricahua and they had two children.

Massai later met Geronimo, who was recruiting Apache to fight American settlers and soldiers. Massai and a Tonkawa named Gray Lizard agreed to join Geronimo, who instructed them to lay in supplies of arms, food, and ammunition. Other sources state that Massai also served the United States government on two occasions, once in 1880 and the other in 1885, as an Apache Scout. Upon traveling to meet Geronimo's forces, the two were informed that Geronimo had been arrested. Both men were arrested by Chiricahua Apache Scouts and disarmed. Massai was placed onto a prison train as a prisoner of war along with Gray Lizard, who voluntarily agreed to accompany Massai, together with the remaining Chiricahua Apache who had either been captured or had surrendered to the army. This included the Apache Scouts, who were now deemed expendable and undesirable.

Massai and Gray Lizard later escaped from the prison train near Saint Louis, Missouri. The two men walked some 1,200 miles back to the Mescalero Apache tribal area, crossing the Pecos River, and Capitan Gap. Near Sierra Blanca, New Mexico, the two men encountered a group of Mescalero Apache. Several days later, the two parted at Three Rivers, never to see each other again. Gray Lizard departed for Mescal Mountain and the San Carlos Indian Reservation near present-day Globe, Arizona, while Massai stayed on the run, raiding along what is today the New Mexico-Arizona border, and periodically taking refuge across the border in Mexico. His name appeared in San Carlos Agency reports from 1887 to 1890. He later kidnapped and married (c. 1887) a Mescalero Apache girl named Zan-a-go-li-che and took her home to his family at Mescal Mountain. Massai and Zanagoliche had six children together.

Demise
Massai's later life and death are the subject of some dispute. One account states that in 1906, Massai, after contracting tuberculosis, took his wife and their children back to their home with the Mescaleros in New Mexico. Along the way he was killed by a posse, west of the town of San Marcial, New Mexico, between Socorro and Hot Springs, though no evidence of Massai's death was ever produced. Some believed the Apache Kid was actually the man who died that day so the area was later named the Apache Kid Wilderness.

Another account states that Massai escaped over the border to Mexico, eventually settling in the Sierra Madre mountains with a group of rebellious Chiricahuas who had refused to surrender with Geronimo.

In popular culture
Massai was portrayed (in brownface) by Burt Lancaster in the 1954 film Apache.

Quest for Fame

Quest for Fame is a music video game developed by Virtual Music Entertainment and distributed by IBM. They were eventually acquired by Namco (who then made the arcade version in 1999) to create karaoke machines.

In 2001, they resurfaced with a web-based subscription product named Music Playground, allowing the user to purchase the instrument tracks for already-owned audio CDs and play along with them. The service failed to attract a sufficient number of users and was finally shut down in August 2003.

The game
Quest for Fame is a simulation adventure game where the player becomes a rock guitarist, working his way up from lonesome bedroom rehearsals to becoming a garage band member, playing clubs and ultimately becoming a rock legend.

The game is based on tunes by Aerosmith and is played by a special device called "V-Pick" that's included in the box. The device is connected to the PC via the parallel port. It contains simple vibration sensing electronics so that the player can simulate playing a guitar by strumming it along a tennis racket, a baseball bat or just the thigh.

Virtual Music also sold a more realistic virtual guitar device that could be connected to the computer's serial port. Additional buttons permitted adjusting the player's guitar volume and feedback effects in the game. Instead of being equipped with full strings, there was only a small part of the guitar with exposed nylon strings or one metal string on the body.

The game contains cartoon-ized artwork consisting of drawn backgrounds with embedded video sequences played by actors.

The game includes a helpful display called the "Rhythm EKG" (short "REKG"), indicating the guitar activity of the currently playing song in the upper half and the player's input in the lower half. If the EKG peaks of both categories are closely matching, the player is playing well.

The rhythm and lead guitar tracks vary in difficulty as the game progresses.

More information
Quest for Fame was the successor to pretty similar earlier games called Born To Rock and Welcome To West Feedback (bundled with the Virtual Guitar). These games included a variety of music instead of primarily Aerosmith tunes.

A very limited game engine was included on a CD-ROM track on Aerosmith's Nine Lives, but it also included drum tracks for the first time in a Virtual Music title. A virtual drumpad input device called "V-Stix" was introduced by the company with the Nine Lives game engine.

Hasib Hussain

Hasib Mir Hussain (حسیب میر حسین; 16 September 1986 – 7 July 2005) was a British citizen and one of four Islamist suicide bombers who detonated bombs on three trains on the London Underground and one bus in central London during the 7 July 2005 London bombings.

Hussain detonated a bomb on the No. 30 bus that exploded in Tavistock Square, killing 13 of the 52 people killed in the suicide bombings, and himself. Investigators found his body and personal effects on the bus. At the age of 18, he was the youngest of the group of four. The other men were Shehzad Tanweer, Germaine Lindsay, and Mohammad Sidique Khan.

Biography
Hussain was born in Leeds General Infirmary and raised in Holbeck, West Yorkshire, Leeds, England, the youngest of four children. His father, Mahmood, of Pakistani origin, worked in a factory, while his mother, Maniza, was an interpreter for British Pakistani families at Leeds General Infirmary.

Hussain received his primary education at Ingram Road Primary School, Holbeck. In September 1998, he began his secondary education at South Leeds High School. Maintaining a good attendance record, he received GCSEs in English language, English literature, maths, science, Urdu, and design technology and a GNVQ in business studies in 2003. Hussain went on to attend Thomas Danby College in Leeds, earning a Vocational Certificate of Education (AVCE) in business the same year as the attacks. He was a member of the Holbeck Hornets football team and the local cricket team. When he left high school, teachers who knew him described him as "a slow gentle giant" who "did not spread leaflets of hate-mail".

In the later half of 2003, Hussain met Mohammed Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer. The three frequented the Stratford Street mosque in Beeston, and were also associated with the Hamara Youth Access Point, a drop-in centre for teens.

London bombings
There were media reports that Hussain had travelled to Pakistan in February 2004, but these appear to be a case of mistaken identity.

In mid-June 2005, Magdi Asdi el-Nashar, an Egyptian lecturer at the University of Leeds, rented a flat from Dr. Adnan Shukir. Hussain played the role of el-Nashar's purportedly foreign friend. Sources differ, but either Hussain's brother or the police examined Hussain's mobile phone, which had Dr. Shukir's number in its storage. Police raided the flat, finding kilos of explosives and other evidence of a bomb-making operation.

Before Hussain went to London with Khan and Tanweer, all three men had travelled to 18 Alexandra Grove, Hyde Park, Leeds where the homemade explosive devices were assembled. The bombs were placed into a refrigerated box to maintain stability overnight. In the morning they travelled south towards Luton railway station, where they joined Germaine Lindsay, the fourth bomber, at around 7:20 am. They then made the trip towards King's Cross station.

On the day of the attacks, Hussain is believed to have intended to take the Northern line train. However, it was temporarily suspended on 7 July and so Hussain left the London Underground system. He was captured on CCTV in a Boots store on the concourse of King's Cross after the other bombs had gone off. Mobile phone records indicate that he had tried to telephone the other bombers. About 50 minutes after the other bombs had detonated, Hussain appears to have boarded the number 30 bus, his bomb exploding shortly thereafter: driving licence and credit cards were found in the wreckage of the bus in Tavistock Square.

Hussain's parents contacted Scotland Yard at about 10:20 pm on 7 July to report that their son had been travelling to London with three friends and had not been heard from since.

Hussain's body was buried in a Muslim cemetery in Leeds on 2 November 2005.

James Kemsley

James Lawrence Kemsley OAM (15 November 1948 – 3 December 2007) was an Australian cartoonist who was notable for producing the comic strip Ginger Meggs (originally created by Jimmy Bancks) between 1984 and 2007.

Early life
James Kemsley was born in the Sydney suburb of Paddington, but lived for a few years with his parents and sister in New Guinea where his father served as master of patrol boats. He then attended the Roman Catholic boarding schools, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College (1958–60) and Chevalier College (1961–62), both located in Bowral, New South Wales. He also attended the Christian Brothers College at Rose Bay (1962–63). Afterwards he lived for a while with his father in Traralgon, Victoria.

Early TV and acting career
Kemsley attended the Independent School of Dramatic Art, North Sydney (1968–71) as well as a National Institute of Dramatic Art Playwright Forum in 1973 and a RADA Professional Workshop in London in 1979. Kemsley's background was in acting and television. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Kemsley was known to television audiences as "Skeeter the Paperboy", an on-screen cap-wearing persona (who once said his full name was Amos Skeeter - a play on "a mosquito") that he portrayed as a cast member of Super Flying Fun Show, and then as host of Skeeter's Cartoon Corner in Sydney on the Nine Network. Another show, Skeeter's Music Hall, also ran on TCN-9 in 1972 immediately after Cartoon Corner.

Cartoon Corner offered a mix of US cartoons (such as Wacky Races, Scooby-Doo and The Archies), with viewer competitions. One of Skeeter's tag lines on the telephone with viewer contestants who were unsuccessful was "golly gosh". When Kemsley left in 1973 to travel to the UK, the host role was given to 16-year-old Greg Bepper. later of Class of '74. In March 1974 the slot was filled by The Channel Niners with Marty and Emu and the following year the Melbourne version of Cartoon Corner, hosted by Daryl Somers, was instituted in both Sydney and Melbourne.

In 1973 Kemsley compered a variety program on the Nine Network titled Junior Cabaret. He also appeared in the ABC TV mini-series The Cousin From Fiji and Seven Little Australians.

Kemsley studied acting at the Independent Theatre of Dramatic Art from 1969–1972 under Doris Fitton and attended the Playwright Forum at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in 1973 under the directorship of David Whittaker. He went on to write three children's plays: The Land Of Coloured Dreams, Once Upon A Time... And All That and The Magical Adventures of Puck.

Kemsley left Channel Nine and then studied in England at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) in 1979.

Cartoonist
In 1984 Kemsley was invited to take over the syndicated comic strip, Ginger Meggs, and several comic books featuring the character have since been published.

He has also contributed to The Traralgon Journal, Adelaide's Sunday Mail, Sydney's The Sun-Herald, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Telegraph. Kemsley twice served as President of the Australian Cartoonists' Association.

Awards include the 2001 Stanley Award for Cartoonist of the Year, presented by the Australian Cartoonist's Association. In 1990 & 2004, Kemsley received the Stanley for Comic Strip Artist, as voted by his peers. Under Kemsley's pen and Atlantic Syndication's marketing, "Ginger Meggs" now appears in newspapers in over 120 newspaper in 30 countries.

Kemsley continued to draw the Ginger Meggs strip until he died at his home in Bowral, New South Wales on 3 December 2007 after a two-year battle with motor neuron disease.

Q's
I had 2 questions about this article. Bubamara 08:33, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Why is the title "House of Bjelbo", but the first line is about "Family of Bjälbo"?  Why Family instead of House, but more importantly, why Bjälbo instead of Bjelbo?
 * 2) "The royal family originated from Bjelbo line was descended from Jarl Birger whose two sons ascended the Swedish throne."  I don't understand what this means.

Planning areas of Singapore

Planning areas, also known as DGP areas or DGP zones, are the main urban planning and census divisions of Singapore delineated by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. There are a total of 55 of these areas, organised into five regions. A Development Guide Plan is then drawn up for each planning area, providing for detailed planning guidelines for every individual plot of land throughout the country.

The planning areas were first introduced in the early 1990s after the release of the 1991 Concept Plan. Since the implementation of these boundaries, other government ministries and departments have also increasingly adopted these boundaries for their administrative purposes. For example, the Statistics Department of Singapore published its 2000 census data based on planning area boundaries for the first time, compared to using census divisions based on electoral boundaries for previous exercises. The Singapore Police Force's (SPF) neighbourhood police centres have jurisdiction boundaries based on planning area boundaries when they were officially gazetted in 1999, as opposed to electoral divisions under the previous neighbourhood Police Post system.

List of planning areas
Planning areas are further subdivided into 332 subzones for statistical purposes.

* = Place names attested to be of Malay origin and referred to similarly in the Malay language.

Mohammad Sidique Khan

Mohammad Sidique Khan (Urdu: ; 20 October 1974 – 7 July 2005) was a British Pakistani terrorist and the oldest of the four Islamist suicide bombers and believed to be the leader responsible for the 7 July 2005 London bombings, in which bombs were detonated on three London Underground trains and one bus in central London, suicide attacks, killing 56 people including the attackers and injuring over 700. Khan bombed the Edgware Road train, killing himself and six other people.

On 1 September 2005, a videotape emerged featuring Khan. The videotape, shown by Al Jazeera Television, also shows Ayman al-Zawahiri, who was the highest leader of al-Qaeda. The two men do not appear together, and the British government says that al-Qaeda was not connected with the bombing. The Home Office believes the tape was edited after the suicide attacks and dismisses it as evidence of al-Qaeda's involvement. In the film, Khan declares, "I and thousands like me have forsaken everything for what we believe" and refers to his expectation that the media would already have painted a picture of him in accordance with government "spin". He goes on to say, "Your democratically elected governments continually perpetrate atrocities against my people all over the world. Your support makes you directly responsible. We are at war and I am a soldier. Now you too will taste the reality of this situation."

Biography
Born in St James's University Hospital, Leeds, Khan grew up in Beeston but moved to Lees Holm in Dewsbury, near Leeds in early 2005. His father, Tika Khan, a foundry worker, was born in Pakistan. His mother is Mamida Begum. He received his secondary education at South Leeds High School, formerly the Matthew Murray High School, which was also attended by Hasib Hussain, another 7 July bus bomber. After completing his secondary education, he attended Leeds Metropolitan University as a business major. It was during his time at university that he met his wife Hasina Patel and first became interested in extremist Islam. Khan had a daughter.

In 1999, he came under the influence of radical cleric Abdullah el-Faisal.

Khan worked at Hillside Primary School in Leeds as a "learning mentor" with the children of immigrant families who had just arrived in Britain. Khan's colleagues commented that he was a quiet individual who did not talk about his religious or political beliefs. However, some acquaintances who worked for the education authority assert that he displayed open anti-British white prejudice, which was glossed over when concerns were raised.

Khan was also involved in the community-run Hamara Healthy Living Centre in Beeston, and worked at its youth outreach project, the Hamara Youth Access Point (HYAP). Staff at the centre have confirmed that two of the London bombers, Shehzad Tanweer and Hasib Hussain, frequented the HYAP. Khan used the outreach project as a recruitment centre, according to a friend of his who spoke to The Guardian.

His mother-in-law, Farida Patel, is also involved in education and works as a council liaison officer at a school in Dewsbury. In 1998, she was the first Asian woman to be invited to a Buckingham Palace garden party, meeting Queen Elizabeth II and other members of the royal family in recognition for her work amongst the Muslim community in Dewsbury, and again in 2004. She was said to have been "devastated" by the actions of her son-in-law.

Mohammad Sidique Khan postponed the event from 6 July 2005 because he had to take his pregnant wife to the hospital.

London bombings
On the morning of 7 July 2005, Khan travelled by car with his three accomplices to Luton in Bedfordshire, from where they caught a train to London King's Cross railway station.

From there, Khan entered the London Underground and boarded a Circle Line train heading west, travelling four stops to Edgware Road. The bomb detonated at 8.50 a.m., just as the train was pulling out of Edgware Road station, killing six victims that were also British. Personal documents of Khan's were found on the train.

Intelligence assessments
Khan is alleged to have travelled regularly to Dubai to attend military training camps, and is also believed to have spent time in Israel. In 2001, Khan was alleged to have learned bomb-making at the Malakand training camp. He is also alleged to have trained with Indonesian terror group Jemaah Islamiyah and to be directly involved with the 2002 Bali bombing.

According to the Israeli newspaper Maariv, Khan travelled to Israel on 19 February 2003, staying only one night and leaving the next day. Maariv reports that he was suspected of having helped to plan the 30 April 2003 suicide bombing of the Mike's Place bar in Tel Aviv which killed three Israelis, carried out by two British citizens. The Israeli government allegedly played down the report.

According to Ron Suskind's The One Percent Doctrine, the NSA had been monitoring phone calls and emails between Khan and several Islamic radicals from the United States and England, including Ahmed Omar Abu Ali. Just prior to Khan's planned trip to the US, NSA intercepted email exchanges between him and some of his associates discussing a desire to "blow up synagogues on the East Coast". According to Suskind, the CIA wanted to let Khan into the US so that the FBI could put him under surveillance, but the FBI resisted on grounds that, as one FBI case agent stated, "We just can't take the risk ... he goes up and blows up a temple in Washington." US government officials put Khan on a no-fly list to prevent him from entering the country. Suskind was critical of the decision, which the author suggested tipped him off to the fact that he was known to US authorities and might have caused him to be more cautious with his communication to avoid further surveillance.

British intelligence sources and circumstantial evidence suggested that this theory may have resulted from a confusion between two different Mohammed Khans, although it seems that Suskind stood by his claim.

According to David Leppard in The Sunday Times, Khan was assessed by MI5 in 2004, after his name appeared during an investigation into a plan to detonate a 600-lb truck bomb in London. MI5 concluded that Khan's link to the plotters was indirect, and he was not placed under surveillance. MI5 was later criticised for failing to follow up leads relating to Khan. The service responded to the criticisms. Channel 4 News published what it said were excerpts from the transcript of the tape.

US intelligence officials have said that Khan was known to Mohammed Junaid Babar, who has pleaded guilty in the US to providing material support to al-Qaeda. Babar, who told investigators that he worked on a plan to blow up pubs, railway stations, and restaurants in the UK, identified Khan as someone he had met in Pakistan.

On 18 July 2005, the Pakistani government released video footage of Khan arriving at Dubai airport on 19 November 2004 with Shehzad Tanweer, another of the London bombers. Khan and Tanweer stayed in Pakistan until 8 February 2005, then flew back to London together. A third member of the London group, 18-year-old Hasib Hussain, arrived in Karachi on 15 July 2004 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on flight SV714.

Stewart's habitat
Born in Norwich but, luckily, lives in California. From your edits to date, I'm betting Santa Clara, California or thereabouts, no? -- Finlay McWalter 01:45, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * I live in an area of San Diego, California known as UTC, near La Jolla, California where I work. Stewart Adcock 19:57, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)

DNA debates
[To Peak:] It is getting difficult to follow the discussions on Talk:DNA. If you put forward your T6 (or one of its offspring) as the DNA intro "working copy", I will support it. I will then try to reason for others to do the same. Stewart Adcock 17:27, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * [From Peak:] As you say, it is difficult to follow the discussion, so you may have overlooked the version which appears on the Talk page at "Peak 22:51, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)". I offered this in the hope that you would be able to support it as per your message above. Also, mav has indicated he likes most of it and perhaps could be persuaded that it addresses all the issues reasonably. Of course, some time has elapsed since your offer of Jan 16, so please feel free to offer another variant. However, I think that to avoid confusion at this point, it would be best if any new proposal is given explicitly.Peak 04:47, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your message. I haven't participated in the "new process" mainly for the following two reasons. Firstly, it's become clear that until Cyan and 168... come to some agreement about the process, there's not much chance of any progress. Secondly, I don't want to offend 168..., who has so far not seen the light about Cyan and Lir, and the resultant need for some agreement about the process. Perhaps I'm naive, but I'm hoping that, in time, 168... will either persuade Cyan to change his mind about the need for unanimity, or come to see the importance of getting agreement on the process. (By the way, do you think all sysops are as concerned about achieving unanimity as Cyan? I've seen some not-so-pretty uneven-handedness by sysops recently. Also, I can't figure out whether Lir is trying to be reasonable now - what do you think? Feel free to email me... email may be easier than using these User talk pages.) Peak 06:38, 17 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[Peak:] You have alluded to the "information can of worms" twice, so I'm wondering whether you believe there is a fundamental flaw with every attempt to make sense of the concept (that seems unlikely, given that physicists seem to know what they mean when talking about), or whether the problem is that no-one has yet succeeded in giving a satisfactory account that accords with some fundamental constraints about the nature of information (perhaps the physicists have merely misappropriated a word), or, perhaps something else? If I had more time, I'd try to formalize the multiple "definitions" of information by locating them in a semantic space, defined (perhaps) by such questions as: Peak 05:30, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Is disinformation a form of information?
 * Is any information conveyed if the receiver has already received the message?

 * whether you believe there is a fundamental flaw with every attempt to make sense of the concept No, not at all, the term information may be defined very clearly -- except in several different ways -- its meaning changes based on context. with some fundamental constraints about the nature of information The constraints on what I think constitutes information are not at all applicable to what my mum would think constitutes information. Lir, for example, seems to equate information with knowledge which in itself is not necessarily incorrect.  My point being that a layperson reading the passage will derive one meaning (which isn't wrong, but double quotes are inappropriate) while a mathmatician(/physist/computer scientist) will derive a different (but also not incorrect, despite being fairly irrelevant to what I think we are actually trying to say) meaning. Stewart Adcock 21:25, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I know what you really meant was that you think Ed is a good guy who means well, but specifically I'd like to ask: Do you think I'm a sock puppet, as Ed does? I ask because if you think you know enough of me to say otherwise, I'd be very grateful if you were to share your opinion and its basis with Ed. If you don't feel you have evidence to say, that's O.K. too. I am admiring your patience with Lir as I watch. I will be impressed if you pull off a compromise. I won't be eating my words, but I will be impressed.168... 23:08, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * If you are a sock puppet, then you are clearly a highly articulated and educated one. I obviously can't prove that you aren't a sock puppet, but if you are then I'd willingly eat my, urm, socks.  I'm not going to say this to Ed, I'm sure he has more worthwhile things to read, but you can quote me if you like.  My basis for thinking that you aren't a sock puppet is that until you made the, evidently unwise, protection manoveurs at DNA you where one of the better contributors to the science-based articles.  You raised some reasonable issues to the wikipedia community (specifically regarding Lir in your case, but they are issues that will need to be seriously addressed at some point).  I doubt that a sock puppet would have been used with quite so much effort.  Sadly, if Lir is a troll, then you've been well-and-truly hooked.
 * Lir fascinates me. He might be a vandal, he might be a troll, he might be a total moron, but it is impossible to be sure on any of those points.  Just what makes him tick?
 * [Peak:] Yes, the attempted explanations I've seen don't seem quite right. Do you think that he might have some unusual combination of medical conditions, perhaps dyslexia and ADHD? Or is he just a kid with a bunch of complexes and way too much time on his hands? Peak 16:01, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I'd quite like to meet him in real life, however, if that ever happened, I don't know whether I'd be able to resist the urge to break his knee caps. (and to be fair, Lir can quote me on this, if he likes)
 * Stewart Adcock 02:06, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. I've cut and pasted you to Ed...lacking your qualms about Ed's time, after he found time to cast aspersions on me. I'm glad we share similar feelings about Lir's anatomy, neuro and otherwise. BTW, no need to lock your socks away. Your GI tract is safe in my reliable, unsocked hands. Or, you know what I mean.168... 02:25, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * Cut'n'pasted with my school-boy typos I guess :( Stewart Adcock 02:35, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Alas. If I'd noticed, I'd have fixed them. Incidentally, with regard to being well-and-truly hooked, I think you're in the same situation at Talk:DNA, it's just that I've been struggling a lot more on the line. I also think I'm pulling on a better line than you are. I give you credit, though, as sport fishing goes, your fight is going more elegantly.168... 04:14, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * I have no more desire to cast asparagus or any other vegetables at you. I wish I could eat my words about the "sock puppet" thing, I've kind of taken a cotton to you and I'm sorry anyone pulled the wool over your eyes; maybe we can iron this out, or should I just fold? ;-) --Uncle Ed 15:28, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Headers
Hi Stewart. Just a tip - headers in articles start at the == level. Thanks :) Dysprosia 00:47, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * Hi. Err, yeah, thanks.  Are you referring to a specific article?  To the best of my knowledge I do start headers at the == level... :-/ Stewart Adcock 01:01, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * AAck you've been framed :) Sorry. I got confused with someone else. Heartfelt apologies... Dysprosia 01:36, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Congratulations! You are now a sysop! I recommend adding your name to the list at Administrators. Tuf-Kat 22:00, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

 * Woo-hoo! I now wield immense powers! Stewart Adcock 04:35, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Spelling (publically vs. publicly)
Please don't go around Wikipedia changing one legitimate spelling of a word to another. I've seen you changing 'publically' to 'publicly' -- both are listed as valid spellings in my dictionary. Wikipedia explicitly does not have a policy on the 'Wikipedia Correct Spelling' of words; if it's listed in the dictionary as correct, then it should be left alone, except if a word is spelled in the same article differently in which case it's fine to standardise. —Morven 23:39, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * If "publically" really is a word, then I'm really sorry. I was taught that "publicly" is correct and "publically" is not but, of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it is!  I don't have a dictionary (besides aspell) available to check.  You can see that "publically" is listed on Wikipedia's list of common mispellings!!! Stewart Adcock 17:22, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * Merriam-Webster defines it as a valid alternate spelling, though it seems uncommon; about 4%. It's the one I've always used.  I've no idea of the history of it, but given that the M-W used online is a very, very old version, it's clearly been in use for some time.  I'm asking on Wikipedia talk:List of common misspellings whether we should be correcting rare spelling variants, let's see what everyone else things.  If there's a broad consensus of opinion that we should, I won't oppose it.  Thanks! —Morven 23:45, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * Since "publicly" breaks the standard word construction rules, I guess that this could be one of the changes introduced by Noah Webster when he was creating his "American English". It's more likely that it is just such a common "misspelling" that it might be becoming accepted.  Stewart Adcock 00:11, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * http://www.bartleby.com/68/73/4873.html. "Publicly is the usual spelling; publically does occur, but rarely in Edited English"

Senseless edits (Lir vs. 168...)
I saw that another site of revert warring with Lir, Nervous system, had just been unprotected by Angela, and I was worried that she was about to unprotect Nucleic acid too. I'm just doing this to irritate Lir and keep him and the need for ban enforcement topical. Civil disobedience, let's call it. 168...|...Talk 05:55, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Arh! I think there is actually a lot of sense in what you are doing. You are being very brave (foolish?) in stirring up the wrath of wikipedians though... I'd put money on you being de-sysoped before Lir gets banned. Stewart Adcock 17:06, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Britishization (with a z)
Hi -- thanks for the copy editing at Income. Please don't bother in the future to Britishise or Americanize spellings for words like "amortization". I believe the convention is that if it's an article about a British or American subject, it's considered best to use the respective country's spelling, but in a "neutral" article, just leave it be. Otherwise we'd all spend a lot of time on this very unimportant task. (In the spirit of this rule I've of course left your Britishizing intact on Income!) Thanks -- Tempshill 01:33, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

You are right, of course, but since I was making a reasonably significant number of changes, I decided to make the spelling consistent within that article. Stewart Adcock 01:54, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Climbing
I am starting WikiProject_Climbing, I hope. Perhaps you might be interested?

Glossary of climbing terms
I've moved your baby, Climbing glossary, to Glossary of climbing terms to fit better with the naming convention of glossary pages (see, for example, Category:Lists of terms). I've fixed all the redirects that weren't on Talk or User pages. - dcljr 23:14, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Data Management Wiki Committee
Thank you for your contribution to one, or more, articles that are now organized under Data management.

Because of your previous intrest, you are recieving an invitation to become a founding member of the Data Management Wiki Committee.

The members, of course, will form and solidify the purpose, rules, officers, etc. but my idea (to kick things off) is to establish a group of us who will take responsiblity to see that the ideas of Data management are promoted and well represented in Wikipedia articles.

If you are willing to join the committee, please go to Category_talk:Data_management and indicate your acceptance of this invitation by placing your three tilde characters in the list.

RfA
Hi, I noticed that you voted against my RfA, without comment. I'm wondering if there is something I can clear up, or some areas of concern which I might look into. Curiously yours, Sam [Spade] 16:46, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi Sam, I have a long memory and therefore remember you as an extremely "controversial" wikipedian. I am simply unable to trust you as an administrator (and whether I believe I can trust somebody is pretty much my only criterion when I choose to vote on RfA), despite your fondness of tea. I, however, do note the broad support you recieved and should you be nominated again I will carefully reasses my opinion. Looking at your past month or so of contributions, I would have to rank you in the top few contributors. Being an exceptional contributor doesn't necesarily make one a trustworthy admin though (look at User:168..., for example). Stewart Adcock 16:51, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I think me being an exceptional contributer makes the quality and NPOV of my edits extremely important, and tells me that rather than writing me off as a "troll" or controvercial nutter, and refusing to talk to me (as some, not yourself, have done) is an especially poor descision. That said, I agree that my copious number of edits says very little about my abilities to be an admin, nor my trustworthyness. It does say to me that it is very important that I be trustworthy, since if I'm making 12,000 crap edits, thats pretty horrible ;) In any case, I am very focused on improving my standing in the community, since if I thought some troll or POV nutter was making 12,000 edits, I'd be quite motivated to do something to stop them, reform them, or whatnot. I of course think I'm a good editor, but there isn't exactly a concensus as of yet. I'd like to make a concensus, and I'd like you to be a part of it. Ergo, any specific concerns or questions I might address would be quite welcome. Cheers, Sam [Spade] 17:11, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Continue acting as you are now, and I'll give you my support. Although as a minor aside, I have a tendency to worry when I come across pages like this since it makes me wonder whether there is an underlying agenda.  Having said that, I don't have any specific concerns that you would need to address.  I was particularly impressed by how you handled yourself in the face of so many negative comments from your RfA.  I ask that you don't change your ways in order to conform to the wikipedia community for the purpose of improving your standing in the community.  It is the diversity of the members that will make it strong. Cheers indeed, Stewart Adcock 17:40, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

More Britishization
I didn't see any reason why an author's choice of the American English labeled should be changed to British English labelled in Media bias, so I reverted it. I see you've made several such changes in other articles. I'm not going to go through them wholesale to see where the change might be appropriate. I just want to call to your attention that labeled is a correct spelling (similarly traveled and several others). According to American and British English differences: "Commonwealth English generally doubles final -l when adding suffixes that begin with a vowel if -l is preceded by a single vowel, whereas American English doubles it only on stressed syllables. (Thus American English treats -l the same as other final consonants, whereas Commonwealth English treats it irregularly.)" JamesMLane 01:11, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The author's choice was labled, which is wrong, here in the US or over in the UK. Stewart Adcock 03:36, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, I noticed on your contributions list that some of the changes were from "labled" but I somehow missed that this was one of them. Sorry!  That's what I get for reverting instead of just typing in what I wanted in the text.  Nevertheless, because the article uses American spelling (homogenizing, analyzed, organizations), I'm changing this word  to labeled on the consistency rule.

 * While checking to see which style was used elsewhere in the article, I noticed supercede. Although Merriam-Webster OnLine lists it as a variant, I think it's just substandard rather than a British English usage, but please let me know if that's wrong. JamesMLane 04:25, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I have no problem with "labeled". From memory, "supercede" should be spelt "supersede" in both languages ;-) Stewart Adcock 04:41, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your vote for my adminship. I greatly appreciate your support. ffirehorse 23:56, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

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

This Godless Endeavor

This Godless Endeavor is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Nevermore, released on July 26, 2005. The album was produced by Andy Sneap and is distributed by Century Media Records.

Overview
Guitarist Jeff Loomis revealed in an interview that This Godless Endeavor is not a concept album but a "topic-to-topic" album, with all the songs dealing with "real life issues" that can "allegorically refer to the loss of identity, the system that we roove in, the meaning of life, the denouncement of God as a solution to all the problems that are caused by the conflicts that all the religions have initiated in various parts of the world. It's basically about human beings."

One might note that the track "A Future Uncertain" has very similar lyrics and main riff to the track "World Unborn" from their 1992 demos.

In the middle of the song "Sentient 6" there is a message played backwards that says "I am the bringer of the end, fear me, I am the beast that is technology." "Sentient 6" refers to a robot or an android that has been programmed to annihilate humankind, but actually envies humanity for their possession of emotion and a soul. The content is paradoxical and written from the perspective of the machine. The song also picks up lyrically where "The Learning" left off in The Politics of Ecstasy. In addition, it seems to have many parallels with the story of V'ger from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

The music video for "Born" premiered on the January 27, 2006 edition of Headbangers Ball. It was shot by acclaimed director Derek Dale, resulting in what the band considers "a thought-provoking conceptual piece."

Reception
This Godless Endeavor ranked at number 2 in Unrestrained! magazine's top 20 albums of 2005. It was also ranked #88 on the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's list of the greatest 100 guitar albums of all time.

AllMusic's Eduardo Rivadavia praised "the soaring vocals of Warrel Dane and lead guitar heroics of Jeff Loomis" as "twin beacons shining out from the band's gloriously metallic bulk." He declared, "Don't forget the near-nine-minute title track, which culminates in what must surely stand as one of Nevermore's most consistent LP's in suitably epic fashion. Indeed, American-bred heavy metal doesn't get any better than this."

The album's review via PopMatters noted the complex influences as "traces of '80s progressive metal greats such as Queensrÿche, Savatage, and Fates Warning" as well as "monstrous doses of European elements, such as blazingly fast tempos, tautly performed arrangements, and unrelenting blastbeats." In one of PopMatters' only complaints, the song "Bittersweet Feast" was considered "one track too many on an otherwise extraordinary album." Overall, within Nevermore's catalog, This Godless Endeavor was touted as "yet another chapter in what has become one of the more impressive album streaks in recent metal history."

The German Rock Hard voted it "Album of the Month" and called it "the best and most intense metal album of the decade". The album was later ranked number 256 in their book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.

In popular culture
In the Marvel comic Runaways, the character Chase Stein mentions the track "The Psalm of Lydia" to a co-worker as a flirt while at his job at a radio station.

Nevermore:
 * Warrel Dane – lead vocals
 * Jeff Loomis – guitar

Nassim Maalouf

Nassim Maalouf (نسيم معلوف) (born 1941 in Kafarakab, Lebanon) is a classical trumpet soloist particularly known for his adaptation of the trumpet to Arabic music with the introduction of quarter tones on the instrument.

Family
Maalouf's brother is French-Lebanese writer Amin Maalouf; their mother is Egyptian of Turkish origin and their father is a Greek Catholic.

Maalouf's son, Ibrahim Maalouf, is a jazz trumpeter and composer.

Career
Maalouf studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with the great French trumpeter Maurice André, graduating in 1970.

While he had by that time mastered the European classical trumpet repertoire he had for some time felt restricted by being able to play only in the major and minor scales. Although he wished to interpret the numerous Arabic modes (known as maqamat, singular maqam) on his instrument, he nevertheless found this quite difficult, as the necessary "half-sharps" and "half-flats" could only be obtained via the unreliable method of modulating lip pressure.

Finally, Maalouf realized that adding to his trumpet a fourth valve half the length of the second valve would allow for the production of quarter tones. Maalouf worked for two years with the craftsman Michel Wikrikaz of the Henri Selmer company in Paris to produce his design of a "quarter-tone" trumpet and flugelhorn, both suitable for performing Arabic maqamat throughout the full chromatic range of the instrument.

Maalouf uses his right hand to play the first three valves and the index finger of his left hand to depress the fourth valve. Maalouf's quarter-tone trumpet was not the first such instrument, however; the American jazz trumpeter Don Ellis and others had earlier created similar instruments.

In addition to his career as trumpet soloist, Maalouf has also taught at the National Conservatory in Beirut. Maalouf's son, Ibrahim Maalouf (b. 1980), is also a classically trained trumpeter and plays the quarter-tone trumpet.

Maalouf has released a solo CD, Improvisations Orientales (1994), on the Club Du Disque Arabe label.

Later, as multicity states formed, a king (Sumerian lugal, Akkadian sharrum) reigned, and each individual city was administered by a governor (ensi or ishiakkum).`` --Ishiakkum 08:50, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

An ishiakkum was a governor if not king responsible for a city in the Akkadian multicity state ruled by the emperor called sharrum such as Sargon, who was "probably the same person as the first Sargon of Assyria (also known as Sharrukin or Sharru-kin meaning 'true king' in Akkadian)." I wish someone could let me know whether sharru or kin means 'king.' For the first time, I edited today the Etymology of Governor synonymous to my ID Ishiakkum as follows:

 * ``The English word "governor" stems from the Latin gubernātor and the Greek kybernetes (helmsman or steersman), which in origin stem from the Latin gubernare and the Greek kybernan (to steer or govern). The recent English word "cybernetics" shares the same etymology! Strictly or etymologically speaking, the word "governor" is therefore supposed to be a metaphor derived from "steersman".``

--Ishiakkum 10:36, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Sargon is the biblical form.

 * ``The Assyrian king Sargon II (reigned 722-705 BC) was one of the chief architects of the late Assyrian Empire and the founder of its greatest line of kings. Sargon II, upon his accession, took the name Sharrukin (Sargon is the biblical form), after the illustrious founder of the Akkadian dynasty, who had died 1,600 years before. This name and the fact that his predecessor, Shalmaneser V, reigned very briefly suggest that Sargon may have been a usurper.`` --Ishiakkum 14:28, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Ceylon tea

Ceylon tea is both the brand of tea which is produced in Sri Lanka and a historic term describing tea from that land. Ceylon tea has been described as not only a geographical descriptor but also a pillar of Sri Lankan culture, heritage, and identity. The Sri Lanka Tea Board is the legal proprietor of the Lion Logo of Ceylon tea. In 2019, Sri Lanka was the fourth largest tea producer and the third largest tea exporter in the world. The Lion Logo has been registered in 98 countries as of 2016. Ceylon tea increasingly faces rising production costs, mainly due to increasing wages, fuel prices, and utility costs.

Packaging
In order for the Lion Logo to appear on a tea pack, it must meet four criteria. The logo should only appear on a consumer pack, the pack should contain 100 percent pure Ceylon tea, it should be packed in Sri Lanka, and the brand should conform to the quality standards set out by the Sri Lanka Tea Board. Ceylon tea is a recognised tea because of its controlled production and should be sold in its value-refined form in order to yield higher margins. It has been suggested that restricting the usage of the logo only to licensed companies would ensure the quality of the tea and capture the interest of more customers who appreciate a certified quality product.

Market and competition
The market for pure teas such as "pure Ceylon tea" is considered a niche market, occupying only 10 percent of the global market. Data analysis reveals that Sri Lanka's market share has been decreasing continuously, whereas the share of Kenyan tea has been increasing at a higher rate, penetrating into Sri Lanka's market share.

More than 50 percent of the tea exports of Sri Lanka are still in the traditional bulk tea while the value-added tea (green tea, flavoured tea, organic tea, instant tea, iced tea, and ready-to-drink tea) exports account for 40 to 45 percent of total tea exports. However all types of value-added tea products yield a higher price than the bulk tea exports. The global consumer preferences for tea are changing, therefore more convenient tea products meet a growing demand in the global market. Even though the Sri Lankan tea industry has a competitive advantage, it finds difficulties in capitalising on the advantage owing to the inability of engaging in international marketing activities.

Sponsorships
Sri Lanka Tea Board signed an agreement with Sri Lanka Cricket to sponsor the Sri Lanka national cricket team and the Sri Lanka women's national cricket team commencing from June 2013, and Ceylon tea is still sponsoring the national teams.
