Considerations on Rape
A response to my talk page

Heya. Thanks for actually putting up a bit of thought for your response. I disagree with you at large, however.

Let me explain: Consent is a serious issue. You can not be absolutely sure someone who has given consent is not going to change his opinion in the future. Someone may figure, on second thought, that this and that was a bad idea and it only happened due to the influence of drugs or whatever. Laws that try to outlaw rape in all cases possible, also outlaw sex in all cases possible. In a legal environment where rape is any act of sex that can be construed to have occured out of mental pressure, persuasion, lying etc, virtually any sex act can be construed as rape after the fact. That is why anti-rape laws are in fact anti-sex laws. Poor rape laws can create a bad atmosphere between potentially consensual partners.

I've talked to some girls meanwhile about their "rape" experiences. Some have recounted experiences that I would clearly call rape, where the perpetrator should be punished. But I had a number of experiences recounted, where I was just wondering how the fuck this was supposed to be a rape.

The problem with rape laws is that it gives victims a false pretext of how to handle themselves in a situation they perceive as rape. If rape laws function the way that fairly normal sex acts (like 2 drunk people committing adultery) can be construed as rape, women are basically in legal terms told to shut up, open their legs, and go to the police afterwards. Because this is sufficient to satisfy the requirements for rape.

It is the result of those poor rape laws, that victims afterwards are laughed at by the police, that they are being blamed.

What I am in favor of is simply filing "rape" as an assault. No mental trickery hogwash - It gives a totally different message to possible victims of rape: They're supposed to defend themselves. If they got "tricked" into sex, well thats their own damn fault. People get tricked into things all the time, people learn, people get tricked less often.

Rape must be defined as a sex act taken by force. Force is the keyword. It can be defended against with a larger amount of force.

Remember: Victims of a non-sexual assault can also feel shame. If you are attacked, your natural instinct is to defend yourself, and failing to do so you fail nature's expectations. About rape, people are, at large, just very confused because many rape laws are in fact very poor and, at best, only usable as general anti-sex laws. Because they do not give sufficient guidance to explain people what a rape is and what not.

So I am not trying to defend rape, I am attacking bad anti-rape laws that confuse people more than anything. If its rape, the victim's been forced - by force. And that just so closely matches a broad definition of assault, that I'm inclined to argue that rape laws are not necessary at all.

About you dismissing arming everyone.
 * if people can get easy access to weapons, the perpetrators of these crimes are even more likely to be armed

But much more so, the victims are going to be. If guns are outlawed, only outlaws have guns.

The problem with guns is that most people are idiots that never learned to deal with weapons (not just guns) in an orderly fashion. An armed civil population where you can learn "defensive shooting 101" in highschool would not have this problem - People pulling out weapons at the most inappropriate times would calmy be explained why and how what they just did was very inappropriate.

A sword is a very dangerous weapon once it is removed from the holster. Take a bad step, or someone bumping into you while you're holding a sword, and someone's going to lose an arm or worse. The ancient Samurai had this little rule that one would never display the blade of their sword in public - unless they were about to massacre someone.

I'm from switzerland. Every able-bodied swiss male has an assault rifle at home. Basically everybody knows how guns work, what they can do, and how they have to be respected - nobody is scared of them or their bearers. The only ones occasionally freaking out in presence of a gun, are, what I call, hippie kids that have neither had parents nor have themselves learned to deal with guns in a constructive manner. So it is basically just knowledge, or a lack thereof, that seperates gun advocates and hippie kids.

Modern society largely has not yet learned to deal with violence and force in an orderly fashion. This is what links the bad rape laws with the polarizing opinion on firearms. Dabljuh 13:54, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Follow-up.

You reduce "false rape" claims to people (women) changing their minds. But if rape is sex without consent, it does not require anyone changing his mind. It can be people feeling ambivalent or curious beforehand. Ambivalence or curiousity do not imply consent. Cooperation does not imply consent. And you cannot prove consent unless you have maybe signed a consent form, into which you could have been tricked / coerced to sign. Don't you see the huge plunge into plain old fashioned insanity the legal system takes when rape is sex without consent?

I am aware that it is hard for women to get rape claims heard etc, I am aware of that. What I am trying to explain to you is this is exactly the result of exaggerated rape laws. If rape was just a special form of assault, there would not be little misunderstanding to what constitutes a rape and what not. This would serve the potential victims as well as everybody else, especially the legal system and the police.

I am not familiar enough with the example of South Africa that you bring up. From experience, if a statisticly huge drop like 60% in a short time for something that is greatly influenced by social mores (which usually take ~50 to 150 years to change), then this is most likely caused by a change in the way the figures are obtained.

You bring up the example of date rape not being covered by the definition of "sex by force". You have some pretty messed up ideas. Drugs are force. For example, the police tries to use knock-out gas to remedy certain hostile situations, and they refer to these gases as "non-lethal force". Similiar to another example, where people are "just holding you down, not hurting you to rape you" - holding someone down - by force - is force. Locking someone up in a basement, only to offer food and water in exchange for sexual service - is also using force (if you have thought about bringing that example up).

The second half of your post mostly rambles about how expensive guns are. Yes, they are way too expensive, but the reason for them being expensive has a lot to do with government regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of firearms. As for an unsightly bulge when carrying a weapon - I've got some more unsightly bulges than that, and women tend carry purses perfect for concealed carry. So, women have an easier time to carry guns.

God, I want it to be socially acceptable for men to carry a purse. But then again, it looks like total ass.

Every civilized society requires all its citizens to be armed at all times. Because violence is the very foundation of a state - The state removes the right to be violent to each other from the people, and instead claims a monopoly on violence, and resolves disputes with a legal system, and enforces the laws with an armed police force. But when the state is the only one controlling violence in its controlled territory, nobody controls the state to prevent government abuse, totalitarian laws, dictatorships. Aside from discouraging small time petty criminals, an armed civil population has the benefit of being able to remove a government once it no longer serves its purpose - that is, the well-being of the citizens - and replace it with a new government, preferrably with the severed heads of the old goverment decorating the state capital just to remind the new goverment what happens when they step out of line. As such, any effort to outlaw an armed civil society must be punished harshly. Dabljuh 17:53, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Follow up: Oh boy...

By that standard, I have been raped many many times. Bullshit? Of course. Did I just give in after S.O. nagged and begged? Yep. Should I get her a nice set of professional vibrators? You bet.
 * I am simply saying no means no and if you carry on after that point it is rape. This is a simple barrier and it is not that hard a rule for people to follow.

Lets say Person A is a bank. Person B goes into the bank A with a gun. Person C takes the money. Now did Person B rob the bank or Person C? Welcome to some parts of the legal system not totally fucked up. Nursing homes etc are a much more interesting subject, but also already covered by law. Assume the Kill Bill scenario. Someone's in a coma or otherwise KO. Now instead of raping (taking advantage, putting the wee wee into the hoo hoo, whatever you want to call it) he cuts the victim's hair in a really unfashionable way. Or amputates an arm. Whatever. Injury is done - thats an assault. Already covered by law, no need for weird anti-sex laws.
 * Ok so maybe my definition of force is different to yours. Lets put a different example on the table. Lets say person A is drugged by person B. Person C (who is unconnected to Person B) notices that Person A is intoxicated and decides to take advantage. Person C has not used any force but this is still a case of unconsensual sex.

RIGHT ABOUT NOW! VIVA LA REVOLUCION! FIGHT THE POWER! ETC!
 * c’mon how often do we see a need for an armed uprising in civilized society?

So your argument is, a gun in your pocket is going to get you killed because... Uh-huh.
 * The argument I was making about where to carry the weapon was saying that if you have a gun in your handbag it is not going to help you much if you are jumped by your assailant. In fact it might encourage risky behaviour that could get you killed.

You fail. But thanks for trying.

Dabljuh 05:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Clearly this is an issue that we are going to have to agree to disagree on as you ignore anything that you do not have an answer for and appear incapable of compromise. Zarboki 05:39, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not a big fan of compromise or "Middle way" strategies. Now, what do you really want an answer to? I mean, like, pick one thing. The problem is that your methodology of thinking appears fundamentally flawed. I cannot correct every single one of your flawed thoughts, which is what you seem to expect from me. If you pick one issue and compare my thoughts on the subject to your own, you may be able to figure out where, fundamentally, our schools of thought diverge. You need to find the underlying logic that we do not agree on, anything else is just a waste of time, even when it's fun to ridicule you. Dabljuh 22:48, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I really am not at all fazed by your thinking. As to compromising well I had thought from your user page that you were capable of changing your mind on some things but clearly Information Darwinism is simply code for pig-headedness. You say things like "flawed thoughts" and that I have lost. Well buddy, I think you'll find that I have opinions on these particular issues that are fairly mainstream. The holder of the minority opinion (you) is the one who needs to convince everyone else not visa versa. I can see the logic behind your arguments and that you think that they would be beneficial. But I can also see that most of what you propose would actually cause more problems than they would address. The only other thing I can say in your favour is at least you understand you are a Net.kook.

Issues that you have ignored/brushed over

 * The data suggest rape victims suffer more psychological trauma than other victims of assault.
 * You claim to want rape treated simply as assault in one instance and then go and suggest it should be a special form of assault. (which it is)
 * Having rape as a separate category of crime allows for special systems to be in place for victims and court systems.

On the guns issues
 * Who do you actually propose giving these weapons to?

OT but have you used popups? They display the first paragraph and picture that is at the target of an internal link. Your first display picture on it is somewhat different to the first picture on your site... You may be annoying someone a little bit. But I had nothing to do with it. Zarboki 08:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Alright. First to your analysis. Information darwinism is the opposition to pig-headedness. Bring me the right arguments and I will be convinced - as anyone should be. But failing to do so you cannot convince me. You cannot convince me by begging, threats, bullying, bribing and whatever else you can think of. Only the argument is what counts. What's "right" is not defined by the mainstream opinion. If 2000 years ago, people largely figured slavery was the right thing, or that the earth was flat, or that violent computer games turn people into mass murderers, that doesn't make it anyhow right. The truth is not found by a demoscopic process, but instead, by an organic, darwinistic process that Information darwinism tries to understand and act in accordance with.

I do consider your thoughts on the subject flawed on a deeper level. Part of our problem to communicate is certainly because of the limitations of language. When we use words, and you understand certain words to have a different meaning than how I understand them (e.g. "Force") then we can not engage in a proper dialogue without first sorting out the terminology required. So if you do find that I use a word in a different way than how you would use it, or anything else "weird", request from me a definition of the term. This is purely the linguistic barrier that must be overcome.

Now to some items that I seem to have brushed over:

 * The data suggest rape victims suffer more psychological trauma than other victims of assault.

What data? By what standards? Someone beaten into a bloody pulp, robbed, or whatever, may well suffer more severe psychological trauma than someone who is victim to "rape" by lax standards. These are problems rooted in terminology. If you want us to waste literally weeks to figure out the truthfulness of the statement "rape victims are off worse than regular assault victims" then I have to say, no thanks. Because as a categorical statement, I can tell you right away - that is false.

 * You claim to want rape treated simply as assault in one instance and then go and suggest it should be a special form of assault. (which it is)

It is a (special) form of assault. That does not mean it needs to be treated with different standards than other, specicific (! better terminology?) forms of assault. Assault with a gardening rake is also a special form of assault, that doesn't mean it has to be treated fundamentally different from assault with a pitchfork. Again, terminology appears to be the problem.

 * Having rape as a separate category of crime allows for special systems to be in place for victims and court systems.

This is not something that I have "brushed over". That is what you appear to be in favor of. I disagree strongly. If someone's victim of a criminal offense, he should not be treated "specially" - that is, not like other victims of criminal offenses. Otherwise you are just asking for rape victims being ridiculed by society / police / legal system while non-sexual assault victims get treated fairly. I claim that only if there is no legal difference between sexual assault and non sexual assault, that sexual assault victims (and perpetrators) can be treated fairly as everyone would wish.

 * Who do you actually propose giving these weapons to?

How exactly is it my job to decide who should get weapons? I would assume, similiar standards to car ownership and gun ownership should be applied. Both cars and guns are extremely dangerous in the wrong hands - lethal weapons you might say - but both serve an useful purpose: Security and Transportation. I do not think that anyone should be denied the right to own a handgun. And I certainly do not credit a state institution with the rights to decide who gets to own one and who doesnt. But what exactly are you asking me for? Elaborate the legislature of my dreams? I don't see sense in asking me that.

Well, there you have it. Basically all of the issues I have "brushed over" in your mind come down to linguistic issues, terminology and the such. The answers are irrelevant as they can never be given without a ludicrous amount of detail given to the questions. I've known this - This is one of the underlying problems that you have - You fail to identify different uses of terminology and resolve them accordingly. But I would suspect that we have even deeper still disagreements on very many things than just the attitude of resolving conflicts of terminology. This is why I suspect your methodology of thinking is deeply flawed - rather than my own. And that is why I tried to tell you "You first need to get your shit straight" before we can argue on actual subjects like rape legislature and social consequences thereof in a productive manner.

I assume you will misunderstand many of the things I said in this post right away, and fail to realize the true meaning of many others for a long time. So I would ask you not to right away try to give me a rebuttal (you will fail, again) and instead reconsider the very basics of your discussion strategy. Things like these need time to sink in, and you need to practice. Maybe then I will reconsider my strategy of "making my opponent look like a dumb fuck" as well. Yeah I'm a jerk, but it saves everybody's time if I don't have to explain "Argument 101" to everyone who disagrees with something I say. Remember the bystanders - They might not understand "Argument 101" either, and just go by "whoever looks better" during the argument. Getting what's right out is also part of information darwinism. While teaching people the methods required to find the truth (the scientific method, proper argument etc) is fundamental, we just are not there yet, sadly.

Dabljuh 05:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

A few thoughts before I head of to Europe for a long pleasant holiday - I would like to make a few points. Yes you seem to be a jerk - this is not likely to win you many arguments as even if the people you are trying to convince agree with you on any points they will not concede them because, well you seem to be a jerk.

The question of who you would give guns to, well perhaps I was giving you too much credit as I just summarised it the last time rather than repeating my previous two posts. Maybe I'm giving you too much credit again, but it is more likely that I really don't care.

As to whether a separate category is warranted for rape, well you seem to have agreed that there is a low conviction rate for it and all the other indicators don't look so good either, why you can't acknowledge that a separate court system with perhaps specialist lawyers and judges might be a better option than simply reclassifying rape as sex-by-force may just be linguistic but probably more to do with you not wanting to change your mind. Your post to Talk:Rape indicated that you wanted someone to please explain (to) you why the system is as it is. I was simply responding to that. Maybe you wanted someone to explain you. Well that is something that is well beyond my abilities at present.

As to whether the majority is always right. If you actually read my post you will see that I did not say anything like that and was responding to your childish "you lose" comment. I said "The holder of the minority opinion (you) is the one who needs to convince everyone else not visa versa". This is to say, I may or may not be right but currently my way is the way things are done and so unless you convince me – and a lot of people like me – "you lose" (not visa-versa).

Pen Spinning Wiki
Hello, I am a fellow pen spinner, and in my opinion, pen spinning is in desperate need of it's own wiki. Imagine finding a guide for every pen spinning trick you've ever heard of, a breakdown of all the pen spinning videos on the internet and a comprehensive list of all the pen mods for each brand? Also I would like users to upload video tutorials (it would go through a screening process by admins first), so each trick would have several good video tutorials on how to do the trick.

The wiki would be a nice companion to UPSB v3 (not a competitor btw, I don't plan on having a forum), instead of having a flood of newbie pen spinners asking continually what a Wiper Reverse is, they can just look it up on the wiki.

A wiki would also be an easy and efficient way to come up with standard naming conventions (also one of my goals) to make pen spinning more universal.

Let me know what you think. I'm not the best pen spinner, so it would be really good to have you (and any one else you can reccommend) being administrators and perhaps adding content (and videos) on the more difficult tricks.

Comment on my talk page if you are interested. Thanks.

First Peel ministry

Sir Robert Peel's first government succeeded the caretaker ministry of the Duke of Wellington. Peel was also Chancellor of the Exchequer while the Duke of Wellington served as Foreign Secretary. A young William Ewart Gladstone held office as a Junior Lord of the Treasury, his first governmental post in a ministerial career that would span for the next sixty years.

The Peel ministry was a minority government, and relied on Whig support. However, this the Whigs felt disinclined to give, joining with the Irish radicals to defeat the Conservatives at every turn. After a reign of only four months, the government felt obliged to resign, whereupon the Whig leader Lord Melbourne formed his second government.

Talk:Toby Young

Lack of neutrality
Whatever your opinion of Young, his politics and his beliefs, it is simply not acceptable to have the first line of a notable person's biography begin with: "Toby worked for The Times until being fired.". No dates are given, nor any details.

This is stated as if this is the most notable thing about him; as if Young was a well regarded writer for the Times and was fired for some egregious breach. But the main article doesn't even include The Times in his journalism career. He was a trainee for a few months who got fired for an idiotic stunt.

Elsewhere we see phrasing like: "In 2019, Young found the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory to appeal to his intellectual proclivities.". That is a ridiculous rhetorical flourish, and it has no place here. If you want to say he wrote an article about a discredited conspiracy theory, then just say that. Why mention his intellectual proclivities?

By all means say that that Young is a controversial writer, perhaps even a notorious writer. By all means say that he has attracted criticism for his views. That would be a completely fair and accurate description. There is no need to garnish this by putting focus on the time he spent at the time, for example.

 * Feel free to edit articles directly when you feel that they can be improved, but your comments are appreciated nonetheless. I've changed the first sentence of the second paragraph to Young briefly worked for The Times before cofounding the London magazine Modern Review. The dates of Young's Times work would be good details in the body if you can provide a reliable source for them. I think it is relevant in the lead as the start to his journalism career, however. I've changed the next portion you talk about to In 2019, Young promoted conspiracy theories about Cultural Marxism. You're right that the previous wording was very unnecessary. — Bilorv ( talk ) 19:10, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've removed the stuff about cultural Marxism. He clearly wasn't promoting anything. The supposed link 'in print' to an MP was synthesis., what do you think? Arcturus (talk) 21:12, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Definitely the MP comment was synthesis and the cultural Marxism content is not appropriate to mention based on the strength of the given sourcing. — Bilorv ( talk ) 21:33, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Thanks for confirming. I'm never 100% sure about synthesis, but I think that one was fairly straightforward. Arcturus (talk) 21:39, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Controversy within a controversy -- "academic posts"
reverted my removal of the controversy about Young's claimed academic posts, as having it both ways (here). This supposes that if we mention his teaching at uni as due, then we must also accept negative information about his teaching at uni as due, even if that information simply reports that a third party poorly described his teaching at uni. We are very clear that it was the DoE who was responsible for this, rather than Young. The removal of this info will only improve this controversy section which has been marked as failing WP:NPOV since May 2021, by another editor. Solipsism 101 (talk) 22:05, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

General position: encyclopaedia article or a resource for offence archaeology?
Why is this article so heavily focussed on cataloguing in as much detail as possible anything which will make the subject look bad? It isn’t an encyclopaedic article. It reads like a character assassination resource scrapbook.

How much excruciating detail does a general encyclopaedia need to go into about specifically negative things someone is “said to” have done or “described” as doing?

If you think this is OK I invite you to take a step back and look at what you are doing. The subject is a human being.

The contains scores of weasel words like “described as …far right”. The biggest weasel word of all is “Controversy.” It invariably indicates reactionary intolerance It’s the acid test of a one-sided smear piece.

I find it to be very immature.

On the positive side;…as usual, the intolerance tells me the guy is likely to have a lot of interesting opinion to share. I find this article just makes me want to give Mr Young a chance. If someone is willing to go to such lengths to do Offence Archaeology on him, he must be worth listening to.

The right to hear dangerous ideas is something my ancestors, and probably yours, were prepared to give their lives for, twice in the first half of the 20th century. Are you worthy of the inheritance they left us? BabylonXerxes (talk) 14:21, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Sources do not exist that have anything good to say about Toby Young because he goes out of his way to get up everybody's nose. Perhaps that's why he resorted to editing his Wikpedia bio himself. Nangaf (talk) 03:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Misinformation versus alleged misinformation
The article used to say "The account were closed because of breaches of PayPal's acceptable use policy, thought to be because of alleged misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines." Isi96 removed the word "alleged"today without explanation. I think the word should be restored, the cited source uses it. Any other opinions? Peter Gulutzan (talk) 16:24, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The source says "But The Times has learnt that one of the reasons the accounts were closed was alleged Covid-19 vaccine misinformation, which breached its policies." So I agreee that the "alleged" should be restored unless new sourcing is provided. might perhaps be relying on the headline, but per WP:HEADLINES we should ignore that. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 21:22, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jonathan A Jones I restored "alleged". Isi96 (talk) 00:28, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Jonathan A Jones (talk) 09:17, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Does the word "alleged" actually make a difference to the meaning of the sentence? We say "... thought to be because of", which already casts uncertainty. The better improvement to the wording might be to attribute to the source—who is doing the "thinking that" here? For instance: "... breaches of PayPal's acceptable use policy, which The Times reported may have been due to misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines". Here it would be the phrase "may have been" that would make "alleged" redundant. — Bilorv ( talk ) 22:05, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe the word does make a difference to the meaning, "because of misinformation" is a wiki-voice clause with no directly-supporting source. The "thought to be because of" wording is uncertainty about why PayPal acted, it is not uncertainty about whether the misinformation was merely alleged.

Andrew Millar

Andrew Millar (1705 – 8 June 1768) was a British publisher in the eighteenth century.

Biography
In 1725, as a twenty-year-old bookseller apprentice, he evaded Edinburgh city printing restrictions by going to Leith to print, which was considered beyond Edinburgh's jurisdiction. Millar was soon to take over his apprentice master's London print shop. He was actively involved in railing against the authorities in Edinburgh.

About 1729, Millar started business as a bookseller and publisher in the Strand, London. His own judgment in literary matters was small, but he collected an excellent staff of literary advisers, and did not hesitate to pay what at the time were considered large prices for good material. "I respect Millar, sir," said Dr Johnson in 1755, "he has raised the price of literature." He paid Thomson £105 for The Seasons, and Fielding a total sum of £700 for Tom Jones and £1000 for Amelia.

Millar was one of the syndicate of booksellers who financed Johnson's Dictionary in 1755, and on him the work of seeing that book through the press mainly fell. During the same year Millar published the first edition of the Mitchell Map. He also published the histories of Robertson and Hume, as well as John Jones's Free and Candid Disquisitions.

Millar was the plaintiff in the 1769 case Millar v Taylor which held that authors and publishers are entitled to a perpetual common law copyright. That decision was ultimately overturned in the landmark 1774 case Donaldson v Beckett, whose unsuccessful plaintiff was Millar's apprentice, Thomas Becket (or Beckett).

Millar died at his villa at Kew Green, near London, on 8 June 1768.

Pitsunda

Pitsunda (Пиҵунда, Пицунда) or Bichvinta (ბიჭვინთა ) is a resort town in the Gagra District of Abkhazia/Georgia. Founded by Greek colonists in the 5th century BC, Pitsunda became an important political and religious centre of the region in the antiquity and the Middle Ages. Since Soviet times it has been one of the main resorts of Abkhazia.

History
Pityus (Ancient Greek: Pityus, Πιτυοῦς, genitive Pityuntos, Πιτυοῦντος) was a large and wealthy Greek city in the antiquity. Pliny wrote in AD 77 that the city had been sacked by the Heniochi. A Roman fort was founded at Pityus in the first half of the 2nd century and a detachment of Legio XV Apollinaris was stationed there. The city was surrounded by a defensive wall, the castellum had a second line of defence built in mid-3rd century AD. Excavations guided by Andria Apakidze unearthed, in 1952, remains of three 4th-century churches and a bath with high-quality mosaic floors. The former "Great Pityus" harbour is now a mere lake within the town.

The Goths attacked the city in 255 AD after capturing the Bosporan fleet. The Roman garrison under the command of Successianus repelled the attack, however they returned in the next year, took the city and proceeded further to sack Trebizond.

Saint John Chrysostom was being led towards Pityus by the imperial soldiers, in execution of the decree of exile, when he died on the way in 407. Like Dioskurias (modern Sukhumi), it remained under Roman control within the Georgian kingdom of Colchis until the 7th century. The city passed under Abasgian control and became one of the major political and religious centres of the kingdom of Egrisi (Lazica). An archbishopric of Pitiunt was instituted in 541. In medieval Georgia, the town's name was spelled as Bichvinta. At the end of the 10th century, King Bagrat III of Georgia built there the Pitsunda Cathedral which survives to this day and contains vestiges of wall-painting from the 13th and the 16th centuries. Bichvinta also served as the seat of the Georgian Orthodox Catholicate of Abkhazia until the late 16th century when Abkhazia came under the Ottoman hegemony. In his 1911 article for the Catholic Encyclopedia, Sophrone Pétridès described Pityus as a titular see, but it is not now found in the Catholic Church's list of such sees. In the late 13th century, the area housed a short-lived Genoese trade colony called Pezonda.

Pitsunda was the favourite resort of First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev. In October 1964 he happened to be vacationing in Pitsunda when he was deposed from power. Khrushchev once proposed a major dam and hydroelectric power scheme on the Bzyb River near Pitsunda, but his experts informed him that a dam built on the Bzyb River would have had catastrophic effects in causing beach erosion at Pitsunda. In the end, the dam was built on the Inguri River instead, where the impact upon the coastline was assessed to be considerably less pronounced.

Town status
On 7 February 2007, after many appeals by inhabitants, the People's Assembly of Abkhazia resolved to give Pitsunda town-status. Parliamentarians expressed the hope that the decision would help Pitsunda develop as a resort. Since becoming a town, the Mayor of Pitsunda is no longer appointed by the Governor of Gagra District but instead directly by the President of Abkhazia. On 29 January 2016, Pitsunda's town-status was formally enshrined in Abkhazia's constitution.

2011 Assembly elections
In the 2011 assembly elections, Mayor Beslan Ardzinba and six other incumbent deputies of the Assembly stood for re-election. The winning candidates were Beslan Ardzinba, Badra Avidzba, Olga Grigorenko, Chengiz Bigvava, Georgi Zardania, Gennadi Cherkezia, Gennadi Mikanba, Damia Kokoskeria and Inessa Dzkuia. On 14 February, during the first session of the new convocation, Damir Kokoskeria was elected Chairman of the Assembly over Gennadi Cherkezia, by a one vote difference.

Since 2014
Following the May 2014 Revolution and the election of Raul Khajimba as President, on 28 October 2014 he replaced Ardzinba as Mayor with Chingis Bigvava. Bigvava was not reappointed following the 2016 local elections. He was temporarily replaced by Beslan Dbar, until former head of the Association of Resorts Vitali Khutaba was temporarily appointed by Khajimba on 16 February 2017, approved by Pitsunda's town council on 20 February and permanently appointed on 27 February.

2023 Gosdacha deal
The Gosdacha resort complex was built in 1958-1961 for the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev on more than 180 hectares of land near Pitsunda. It was used by senior officials of the Communist Party and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union remained under the control of Russian Federal Protective Service. Russia and Abkhazia signed an agreement in 1995 leasing the complex to Russia, however at that time Russia did not recognise Abkhazia and the legitimacy of the agreement has been questioned by local activists. On 27 December 2023 the President of Abkhazia signed the law leasing the resort to Russia for 49 years. Hundreds of demonstrators protested against the ratification of the deal starting from 26 December and demanding to amend the boundaries of the resort. The deal was condemned by the Georgian government, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia. Salome Zourabichvili called the deal "another land grab by Russians in Georgian territories...and their creeping annexation policies".

Karl Llewellyn

Karl Nickerson Llewellyn (May 22, 1893 – February 13, 1962) was an American jurisprudential scholar associated with the school of legal realism. The Journal of Legal Studies has identified Llewellyn as one of the twenty most cited American legal scholars of the 20th century.

Biography
Karl Llewellyn was born on May 22, 1893, in Seattle but grew up in Brooklyn. He was the son of William Henry Llewellyn, a businessman of Welsh ancestry, and Janet George, a passionate suffragette and prohibitionist of Congregationalist conviction. He attended Boys High School. At the age of sixteen he was sent to study in Germany, at the Realgymnasium of Schwerin, where he spent three years and passed his Abitur (school-leaving examination) in the spring of 1911; he learned to speak an excellent German and was able later in life to publish in that language. After having attended the University of Lausanne for a brief time, in September 1911 he entered Yale College and in 1915 Yale Law School, earning an LL.B. in 1918 and a J.D. in 1920. He was elected to the editorial board of the Yale Law Journal in 1916 and graduated top of his class in 1918 magna cum laude. At Yale he got acquainted with two prominent law professors and key figures of the incipient legal realism movement, Arthur L. Corbin and Wesley N. Hohfeld, whose influence on him was profound.

Llewellyn was studying abroad at the Sorbonne in Paris when World War I broke out in 1914. He was sympathetic to the German cause and traveled to Germany to enlist in the German army, but his refusal to renounce his American citizenship made him ineligible. He was allowed to fight with the 78th Prussian Infantry Regiment and was injured at the First Battle of Ypres. For his actions, he was promoted to sergeant and decorated with the Iron Cross, 2nd class. After spending ten weeks in a German hospital at Nürtingen and having his petition to enlist without swearing allegiance to Germany turned down, Llewellyn returned to the United States and to his studies at Yale in March 1915. After the United States entered the war, Llewellyn attempted to enlist in the United States Army but was rejected because he had fought on the German side.

He joined the Columbia Law School faculty in 1925, where he remained until 1951, when he was appointed professor of the University of Chicago Law School. While at Columbia, Llewellyn became one of the major legal scholars of his day. He was a major proponent of legal realism. He also served as principal drafter of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).

Llewellyn married his former student Soia Mentschikoff, who had become a law professor and was also a UCC drafter. She also accepted a teaching post at Chicago and later became dean of University of Miami School of Law.

Llewellyn died in Chicago of a heart attack on February 13, 1962.

Legal realism
Compared with traditional jurisprudence, known as legal formalism, Llewellyn and the legal realists proposed that the facts and outcomes of specific cases composed the law, rather than logical reasoning from legal rules. They argued that law is not a deductive science. Llewellyn epitomized the realist view when he wrote that what judges, lawyers, and law enforcement officers "do about disputes is, to my mind, the law itself" (Bramble Bush, p. 3).

As one of the founders of the U.S. legal realism movement, he believed that the law is little more than putty in the hands of a judge who is able to shape the outcome of a case based on personal biases.

 * The only reason this is here is so the anonymous author can avoid its deletion at the German Wikipedia. I see no good-faith reason for it to be here. Additionally, it has no authorship information, making it a copyvio under the GFDL. -- Cyrius|✎ 17:48, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * This is ridiculous. The article was originally written by me. Copyright templates are not required for articles, Mr. Cyrius. The reason the article is stored at the talk page is that it is the original the English version was based upon. Also, the German Wikipedia voted to keep it, so when things are cleaned up there (i.e. abusive sysops desysopped), responsible Germans may be grateful that someone cares to write articles for them and may want to recreate it. 83.109.179.232 11:55, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

vfd in de:WP Call for undeletion on de:WP The IP's strong efforts to keep the article in en:WP are to respect for sure - but it has nothing to do with the vfd-procedure in the German WP, which the IP obviously didn't understand. So: If the ridiculous talk against the deleting of this stub in German WP has to stay on this talk page, please don't delete the answer again like you did several times before (see history of this talk page), for you got nothing to hide - ;) --Rax 19:42, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Reality-check for the "information" given above (that German Wikipedia voted to keep it - ???) see

 * When the article was deleted at de: there were 4 keep votes (including "Überarbeiten") and one delete vote (nominator). 83.109.159.205 08:49, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You should be careful about talking of other's deletion of answers, considering your behaviour in regard to German talk pages. 83.109.159.205 08:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

To your second one: Have a nice day, too. --Rax 14:43, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * To your first meaning: To be able to read gives great advantages.

Talk:Méthode champenoise

I think that both words of the title should be capitalized as Champagne is a proper noun Bob Palin 16:27, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Description of the actual method.
As far as I know is that when you ferment wine in the primary and secondary stages it leaves lees or sediment at the bottom of the fermentation container. In this method the fermentation in the bottle makes the same types of sediment and the removal of this sediment is done by inverting the necks of the bottles into a ice-salt mixture. The sediments and the wine surrounding them freeze, the bottle is opened and the plug of frozen sediment is shot out and then the bottle is somehow recapped.

I have no sources, this is third-hand, fourth-hand information and so I don't want to put it on the page until I can find some sources or someone who actually does this. and there is more to this method than I have stated above...anyone know exactly how this is done?

According to his book Atheism in Our Time, Lepp was an atheist and Marxist for many years and claimed to have occupied important positions in the communist party with whom he later became very disillusioned. He then converted to Roman Catholicism and was ordained a priest in 1941. He wrote many non-fiction books including some about atheism, religion, and later psychiatry, as he was a psychologist and psychoanalyst.

He wrote among other books: The Ways of Friendship, The Psychology of Loving, The Authentic Existence, The Communication of Existences. He also wrote The faith of men; meditations inspired by Teilhard de Chardin (Teilhard et la foi des homme), about the French thinker Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.

Carlo Pellegrini (caricaturist)

Carlo Pellegrini (25 March 1839 – 22 January 1889), who did much of his work under the pseudonym of Ape, was an Italian artist who served from 1869 to 1889 as a caricaturist for Vanity Fair magazine, a leading journal of London society. His work for the magazine made his reputation and he became its most influential artist.

Early life
Pellegrini was born in Capua, then in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. His father came from an ancient land-owning family, while his mother was allegedly descended from the Medici. He was educated at the Collegio dei Barnabiti, and then at Sant'Antonio in Maddaloni, near Naples. As a young man he caricatured Neapolitan society, modelling his portraits on those of Melchiorre Delfico and Daumier and other French and British artists of the period. Pellegrini claimed to have fought with Garibaldi; however, those who knew him well dismissed this as fantasy.

Deciding to leave Italy in 1864 after a series of personal crises, including the death of his sister, he travelled to England via Switzerland and France. He arrived in London in November 1864; he later claimed to have arrived destitute, and to have slept on the streets and in doorways. However, this claim may have been another fantasy designed to make him seem to be a Bohemian artist. In London he became a friend of the Prince of Wales.

Work for Vanity Fair
It is not recorded how Pellegrini met Thomas Bowles, the owner of Vanity Fair magazine, but he quickly found himself employed by that publication and became its first caricaturist, originally signing his work as 'Singe' (French for "Monkey") and later, and more famously, as 'Ape' (a translation of "Singe" into English). Pellegrini's work for the magazine made his reputation and he became its most influential artist; it printed his caricatures for over twenty years, from January 1869 to April 1889. His 1869 caricature of Benjamin Disraeli was the first colour lithograph to appear in the magazine, and proved immensely popular. It was the first of a highly successful series of more than two thousand caricatures published by Vanity Fair. Although the later caricatures by Sir Leslie Ward are perhaps now more well known, those by 'Ape' are regarded by many collectors as being artistically and technically superior.

Apart from drawing his caricatures for the magazine, Pellegrini also attempted to set himself up as a portrait painter, but this venture met with limited success. Pellegrini met Degas in London in the 1870s, and in about 1876–77 painted his portrait, inscribed 'à vous/Pellegrini' (to you/Pellegrini). In return, Degas painted Pellegrini's portrait, similarly inscribed.

Pellegrini was a member of the Beefsteak Club in London and there met Whistler, who became a great influence on his work; indeed, he even attempted to paint portraits in the style of Whistler. Pellegrini was also a member of The Arts Club from 1874 until 1888.

Pellegrini was extremely careful about his appearance, and would wear immaculate white spats with highly polished boots. He grew long Mandarin-like fingernails, would never walk when he could ride, and had a limitless fund of amusing stories and eccentricities. He spoke broken-English, flaunted his homosexuality (at a time when it was dangerous to do so), and would often bring macaroni dishes to elegant dinner parties. He would refuse invitations to country houses out of fear of strange beds, and had a habit of keeping a cigar in his mouth as he slept.

He died of lung disease aged 49 at his home, 53 Mortimer Street, near Cavendish Square in London. He is buried in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Kensal Green, London.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Canderson7

Canderson7
final (20/0/1) ending 16:28 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Looking through Canderson's edit history, I see:
 * polite and courteous discussion on talk
 * Lots of work on stub-sorting and other janitorial tasks
 * Hundreds upon hundreds of vandalism reverts

I'm sure he's gotten sick of typing out "rv to last edit by foo" at this point--a rollback button would enhance the work of a great vandal fighter. Canderson has been here for 5 months now, and according to Kate's tool has 1678 edits, 1078 to articles, 34 to talk, the bulk of the rest to User talk and Wikipedia namespaces. He's been polite and courteous when interacting with me, and his edit history shows a truly impressive dedication to improving the 'pedia, by doing some of the most strenuous tasks we have to offer. This would help make his life a little easier. Meelar (talk) 16:29, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. As Meelar stated above the majority of my contributions involves dealing with vandalism. My main use for admin powers would be to ease this task.  The rollback button will certainly be handy in cases of blatant vandalism, for indeed I am getting sick of typing “rv to last version by foo”.  Even more appealing is the ability to block persistent vandals (example), instead of having to follow them around Wikipedia reverting their vandalism while I wait for administrator intervention.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. As most of my contributions relate to maintenance tasks it is not a few, but rather the whole that pleases me. For instance I am very pleased with my anti-vandalism efforts.  I pride myself on a good record of dealing with vandalism quickly and accurately.  Sometimes I also make more substantive changes to an article, usually in the form of cleanup, and it always pleases me to see a previously convoluted article put in good order (example).
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. Dealing with vandals can certainly be stressful work at times. By definition it brings the editor into conflict with the vandal, and to say that vandals lack civility puts it mildly.  My user page has been vandalized over twenty times and I have even had pages created in my honor from time to time .  However it's easy enough to disregard these petty insults, and on the rare occasion when the stress becomes too much I simply step away from the project for a time and take a breather.  I've even been known to go a whole day without editing Wikipedia, gasp!
