Proposed Intro Paragraph for Minnesota - Implemented
Cribbed off Massachusetts

Minnesota is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. It is the 12th largest state in the U.S., with an area of 87,014 sq mi (225,365 km²). Minnesota's population of nearly 5 million is concentrated mostly in the Twin Cities metropolitan area in the east-central part of the state. The Twin Cities and their surrounding suburbs form the 15th largest metropolitan area in the United States, and are home to more than half of the state's population. The remainder of the state, which is primarily rural, is generically referred to as Greater Minnesota. Minnesota is well-known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". These formed as the result of extensive glaciation during the last Ice Age.

The state of Minnesota was carved out of the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory on May 11, 1858. Prior to European exploration, the state was home to tribes of Ojibwa, Dakota, and Winnebago Native Americans; descendants of these and other Native American tribes comprise around 1.1% of the state's current population. Present-day Minnesota is mostly composed of people with northern European ancestry, but the state is home to a growing immigrant population including vibrant Somali and Hmong communities.

Minnesota is well-known for its history of liberal and populist politics, with a strong and active third party movement. A Minnesotan ran on the Democratic ticket as either President or Vice President in the 1964, 1968, 1976, 1980 and 1984 elections.

Gwoyeu Romatzyh (writing systems)
I was initially contacted about the Gwoyeu Romatzyh article by User:Ikiroid, who made some valuable suggestions. He also suggested other editors who might be able to help in bringing the article up to GA or FA status. One of them, User:Ravedave, thought you might like to cast an eye over it.

I'd appreciate any comments you might have. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 16:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Work in progress - Sources of evidence
There are four main sources of evidence for the study of ancient Egyptian life and culture. Each suffers from problems of differential preservation: certain types of artefacts have survived better than others. This can result in a distorted view of the evidence available to Egyptologists.

Monuments
Many Egyptian monuments have survived remarkably well. The types of monuments available for study include the sites of villages, homes and palaces, as well as funerary complexes (known as necropolises), tombs, and religious temples. In general, sites located in the desert or built of stone are the best preserved. Many religious monuments have survived nearly intact since ancient times; they were built of stone as though intended to last for eternity. Tombs and necropolises were built away from inhabited areas, which tended to locate them in the desert and was a factor in their preservation. In contrast, villages and buildings used in daily life were constructed of wood or mudbrick and built closer to the Nile. Due to the inundation of the Nile's annual flood, these sites are not as well preserved. Sites in the south of Egypt, with its desert climate, also tend to be better preserved than those located in the Nile delta. Given the factors in preservation of monuments, the surviving monuments give Egyptologists a clearer view of religious and funerary practices than the daily life of ancient Egyptians.

Artefacts
Artefacts recovered from archaeological digs consist of a wide array of objects. In addition to objects recovered from villages and houses, tombs are a frequent source for many important and well-preserved artefacts. Tombs contained objects the deceased expected to need in the afterlife such as vessels for food and drink, cosmetics palettes, weapons, games, and servant dolls called shabtis. Some Middle Kingdom tombs contained wooden models that depicted boats, soldiers, or other facets of daily life. Textiles and plant matter such as papyrus have not survived as consistently as items made of stone, metal or clay; again, sites located in the desert tend to be better preserved.

Human remains
The study of human remains, preserved as mummies, is a source of information on the life, diet, and disease profile of ancient Egyptians, as well as being a source of wonder and imagination in popular culture. The development of non-destructive techniques such as x-rays, radiology, and endoscopy have become increasingly popular. Researchers have investigated serologic and genetic information, including the creation of an international mummy tissue sample database.

Literature
Following the decipherment of hieroglypics in the 19th century, the availability of Egyptian texts has provided an illuminating window into ancient Egyptian culture and attitudes. Texts have been recovered in the form of papyrus scrolls, inscribed artefacts, tomb paintings, mummy wrappings, and carvings on temple walls, stelae and obelisks. Religious literature includes ceremonies described on temple walls. Funerary literature, including the Egyptian Book of the Dead, includes pyramid texts inscribed on pyramid tombs in the Old Kingdom, as well as the coffin texts inscribed on coffins and tombs up through Greco-Roman times. Other genres of ancient Egyptian writing include texts on myths, medicine, administrative records, wisdom literature intended for moral instruction, and pessimistic literature describing periods of economic and political turmoil. Further sources of information are the histories written by Greek and Roman authors. The Egyptian priest Manetho wrote a Greek-language work on the history of Egypt called the Aegyptica during the reign of Ptolemy II; it included a chronology of Egyptian pharaohs and developed the classification of dynasties still used today. Other ancient sources include Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Strabo, Pliny the Elder, and Plutarch.

Egypt
Other infoboxs on places the infobox might go:
 * Great Pyramid of Giza - Template:Infobox Skyscraper
 * Giza_pyramid_complex - Template:Infobox World Heritage Site
 * Khafre's Pyramid - Template:Infobox Egyptian pyramid

The pyramid infobox is not used very often and underdeveloped, I think this infobox is better and it can be integrated. It might be worth removing the world heritage box from some of the articles, or it can be shared like here Brasília.

Here are my ideas for other fields:
 * Other names? - For if there are greek/roman/modern names
 * Fields from pyramid infobox? - height/base/volume/type.
 * World heritage ID? (if decided to take priority over WHS infobox
 * Use? - temple, tomb, monument etc.

I changed the color, what do you think? Right now the background of the infobox isn't white so you can see the edge of the hyroglyphics image. -Ravedave 04:16, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Two heartbeats Kabuto's trap
I have added a "" template to the article Two heartbeats Kabuto's trap, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Whitney High School (Cerritos, California)

Gretchen A. Whitney High School, called Whitney High School or WHS, is a public school in Cerritos, California serving grades 7–12. It is in the ABC Unified School District. According to US News Report, as of 2023, Whitney High School is ranked 2nd in the state of California and ranked 17th nationally among all high schools.

History
Whitney High School was founded on September 25, 1975 (under the name Gretchen A. Whitney Learning Center) as a community academic learning center. It was created by ABC superintendent Charles Hutchison, who envisioned Whitney to be a vocational school. The school refocused as an academic magnet/collegiate preparatory school. As a tribute to Hutchison, the current cafeteria is named the Hutch.

In 1997, half of Whitney's parking lot was purchased by a housing contractor to build a gated community adjacent to Whitney. In exchange, Whitney received funds to construct a gymnasium. In 2012, Whitney built a multi-media arts center featuring computer labs and a theater.

In 2018, Measure BB was passed. The school used the funding to provide for major technology renovations and the construction of a new science-focused building.

The school briefly went into lockdown in March 2023 due to a threat of a bomb in the school in a call to the local police department. No one was injured.

Admission
Admission into Whitney is determined through mandatory placement testing. Students in elementary school are automatically tested during their sixth grade year, while students already in middle school or high school are required to take an additional writing test. Admissions are determined primarily through the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, with an additional criterion being the universally mandated essay examination.

Academics
Whitney's curriculum, as of September 2019, included 15 Advanced Placement courses and 35 Honors courses, though students who attended Whitney High School were automatically placed in honors courses, except for math and physical education courses.

Rankings
In 1991, Whitney was recognized with the Department of Education's National Recognition Award as a Blue Ribbon School. Senator John F. Seymour spoke on the US Senate floor to recognize the school. Whitney is one of the three Blue Ribbon Lighthouse Schools Charter Members. The school was again honored as a Blue Ribbon school in 1998, 2003, 2008, and 2014. Whitney became the first school to receive 5 Blue Ribbon Awards. President George W. Bush's brother Neil, co-founder of an educational software company, has visited the campus several times, as he put it, "because of the respect the staff has for students. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every school should be this way."

Whitney has been honored with the California Distinguished School title six times: 1986, 1990, 1992, 1996, 2003, and 2007.

In 2005, the Associated Press rated Whitney High the best high school in California, based on its Academic Performance Index (API) score.

Whitney High has been featured in a special report done by Fox News in 2005. The report on mentoring featured Whitney's "Big Buddy/Little Buddy" system. Furthermore, CBS News's "Weekend Journal" also reported on Whitney, focusing on the public high school's academic achievements.

In 2006, the school was on Newsweek’s "America's Best High School" list. Whitney was not included in the top 100 high schools because "so many of [Whitney's] students score well above average on the SAT and ACT". However, Newsweek did include Whitney in "The Public Elites" section, and labeled Whitney as "a comprehensive school for high performers". Newsweek again recognized Whitney in the May 23, 2007 "America’s Best High School" edition. Similar to the 2006 edition, Whitney was included as 1 of the 19 "The Public Elite" high schools and was labeled as an "award-winning school with special emphasis on college admissions".

The passing rate for the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) for Whitney students is 100%. Whitney received a six-year accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in 2004.

Business Week declared Whitney as having the "Best Overall Academic Performance" in 2009 for California.

U.S. News & World Report ranked Whitney High School as the No. 12 high school in the nation in the November 30, 2007 edition. Whitney was ranked No. 10 in the December 15, 2008 edition. Whitney was ranked the 3rd best high school in America for 2010 in the December 10, 2009 edition. Whitney was 1st in the state of California for 2016, and rank 19th nationally. Whitney was 1st in the state of California for 2018.

Newsweek ranked Whitney High School as the No. 4 high school in the nation in September 2014.

Athletics
Whitney High is part of the CIF Division IV, and the mascot is the Wildcat. In its earliest years WHS did not have any school athletics at all, and they gradually added small sports teams in later years.

Whitney High is now part of the newly formed 605 league, Division 3, CIF Southern Section.

Activities
The WHS Yearbook won First Place and Outstanding Theme at the 2013 American Scholastic Press Association Yearbook Competition.

WHS's award-winning robotics team participates in FIRST: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, an organization founded in 1989 by Dean Kamen and Woodie Flowers to motivate young people in their schools and communities to reach an appreciation of science and technology. Currently the team competes in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), and FIRST LEGO League (FLL). Students also participate in outreach programs in robotics with local elementary schools, community groups, and summer RoboCamps.

Students have the opportunity to debate national issues in the Junior Statesmen of America program with other students from southern California.

"It's Finally Friday" (a.k.a. "IFF") is a televised show broadcast over the school's television network every Friday, from September 2003 and until June 2005, and brought back from 2006 to 2008.

The Whitney Independent News Network was founded during the 2009 – 2010 school year.

In 2009, the school ceased publishing Aspects, the student newspaper. In 2018, the school newspaper was brought back by the Newspaper Club and is called The Wildcat's Tale.

"Whitney High School Live" is Whitney's news program that airs three times a week during homeroom. It began in the 2014–2015 school year.

School of Dreams
Whitney High is the subject of School of Dreams, a book written by the Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Edward Humes and published in September 2003. Humes spent the 2001–2002 school year at Whitney teaching a writing workshop, and used his case study of Whitney High to bring national attention to the pressures endured by the students of America's magnet schools.

Talk:Metal-halide lamp

 * 1) Halides are not metals.
 * 2) There's no such thing as the "halide group" (that would be the halogen group).  Any metal can be a halide.
 * 3) Metal halide lamps probably don't contain astatine (highly radioactive). --Smack (talk) 04:13, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) AFAIK they're metals AND halides, not metals THAT ARE halides.
 * 2) Change it to think for the mean time.
 * 3) Removed "all" for the mean time.

hOW ABOUT SOME-THING ON THEIR HISTORY?

correlated color temperature
Changed references to color temperature to correlated color temperature. HID spectral output does not resemble black body emission, and apparent color does not lie on the Planckian locus. Chondrite 22:00, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Phosphor
A "phosphor" is not used to diffuse light, but to convert a short wavelength (UV perhaps) into a longer (visible) wavelength.

are you Sure about that??....The spectrum produced by the Metal Halide Arc is White and has a Good CRI,why would it need Phosphorus??....they do make MH Lamps with Diffuse Coatings.

Phosphor is used to create a warmer color temp and to eliminate glare from the arc. 12.155.56.194 (talk) 18:20, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Regulations
Suggest it be made clear (at the End of Life segment) that where these lamps are part of consumer electronics, like an LCD or DLP projector, that they are not "electronic waste" in most regulations in the United States, and should instead be disposed of as "universal waste."

Relevant links here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Waste http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/recycle/electron/mce-fs.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.67.6.15 (talk) 23:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Luminous efficacy
"About 24% of the energy used by metal halide lamps produces light (65-115 lm/W[1])"

The numbers in that sentence are a little contradicting. Which one is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Victor van Poppelen (talk • contribs) 22:25, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

various
Hi, i have just finished to correct and format this article. Because my native language isn't english, can someone review this article for grammar issues? Thanks. P.S. who wrote this article without using an "enter" press? This article was simply unreadable!--Marcopete87 (talk) 20:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Warm-up time
" They also require a warm-up period of several minutes to reach full light output,[2]"

No I believe they warm up fully within 30 seconds, at least in automotive applications. Perhaps large MH lamps require a longer warm-up time. The HID lamps in school gyms I believe are either high or low pressure sodium HID lamps which I think are the types that take minutes to warm up, but metal halide is the quickest type to warm up.

Perhaps more clarification in the introduction of this article would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.76.47.120 (talk) 00:27, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

This short a warmup time is possible for some rather special HID lamps, such as automotive headlights, but this is not the case for general purpose metal-halide lamps (automotive lamps contain xenon at a non-negligible pressure even when cold, which makes it possible to reach a high light output under controlled overload conditions in a short time). Warmup times in the 2 to 5 minutes range are most common. The smallest miniature metal-halide lamps such as the Philips "CDM-Tm mini 20W GU6.5" have shorter warmup times, but still in the range of ca. one minute typical (3 minutes guaranteed maximum according to the datasheet). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.74.11.117 (talk) 18:34, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

HMI merger
HMI is just a sub-type of metal halide, a type of HID. I don't find that it justifies its own stand-alone page. Cantaloupe2 (talk) 20:11, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. -- Chetvorno TALK 11:12, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Disagree - There is some duplication in HMI that could be removed, but HMI seems to be much higher power for cinema filming with different priorities eg spectra and colour matching and ballast design issues. Each article should refer to the other as appropriate. - Rod57 (talk) 15:05, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

End-of-life controversy
There has recently been an edit war over addition of a paragraph that metal halide lamps exhibit cycling at end-of-life. The opposition said that this was mainly a behavior of high pressure sodium lamps, which have their own article. I looked up sources to try to resolve this: Some of these sources may lump HPS in with MH, however. From this I am not sure there is enough support to include in the article that MH lamps cycle. --ChetvornoTALK 19:00, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Kane, Revolution in lamps, CRC press, 2001, p.148 MH lamps can cycle
 * Metal Halide Lamps, ChemEurope  MH can cycle
 * Coaton, Lamps and Lighting, 1997, p.309 MH shows "...a normal end of life failure mode where the lamp cycles..."
 * HID lamp service guide, Howard Lighting, p.11 had the clearest differentiation between MH and HPS, it says HPS show cycling but MH just exhibit "failure to start".

Nestlé Milk Chocolate

Nestlé Milk Chocolate was a chocolate bar consisting of milk chocolate, produced by Nestlé. Nestlé Milk Chocolate was sold in many countries around the world. The bar was discontinued in 2016. The original formula was invented by company founder Henri Nestlé in 1875.

Background
Nestlé Milk Chocolate was created as a competitor to the more-established, and North American chocolate bar segment-leader Hershey bar, and was even created in a similar form as their competitor. The closest Nestlé product to them is the Nestlé Crunch, which is very similar to Nestlé Milk Chocolate, the main difference being that Nestlé Crunch has puffed rice, while Nestlé Milk Chocolate does not. A similar product, Yorkie made by Nestlé, is not to be confused with Nestlé Milk Chocolate as it is a completely different product, as the Yorkie bar was originally created by British firm Rowntree of York to compete with Cadbury Dairy Milk.

Nestlé also produces many other brands of chocolate/syrup.

Distribution
Nestlé Milk Chocolate bars were available in 1.45-oz (41.1-g) bars, as well as in boxes of 24.

Stephanie Miller

Stephanie Catherine Miller (born September 29, 1961) is an American political commentator, comedian, and host of The Stephanie Miller Show, a Progressive talk radio program produced in Los Angeles, California, by WYD Media Management and syndicated nationally by Westwood One. In 2017, Talkers Magazine ranked her the 23rd-most important radio talk show host in the U.S. Miller has leveraged her talk show via various platforms including online, as well as via her Sexy Liberal Tour live comedy show.

Early life
Miller was born in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Stephanie (Wagner) (1923 - 2023), and former U.S. Representative William E. Miller (1914 - 1983), who was Barry Goldwater's running mate in the 1964 presidential election and a chairman of the Republican National Committee. After her father left the United States Congress when Miller was three years old, her family moved to her father's hometown of Lockport, New York. She is the youngest of four children; her two elder sisters, Libby and Mary, are almost 20 years her senior. She also has an older brother, William Jr. Her brother ran unsuccessfully for the United States House of Representatives from upstate New York, in 1992 and 1994.

Miller's father died in 1983; her mother died in 2023.

Miller's first efforts at comedy were in high school, performing in a sketch, "Torn Between Two Lovers", requiring a specially-sewn dress with panels that boys ripped open every time a chorus of the song was heard. Recalling the performance, Miller says, "I got my first laugh, and that was it. It's like a drug. It's always been my only drug.". After completing her secondary education in private Catholic schools, graduating from DeSales High School in Lockport in 1979, Miller attended the University of Southern California, earning a degree in theatre. Her original plan after college "was to be Carol Burnett". On September 29, 2015, Burnett called Miller on her radio show to wish her happy birthday. On the phone, Miller told Burnett she always wanted to be her, "but it didn't work out. She made me cry when she said I shouldn't be Carol Burnett because there's only one Stephanie Miller and nobody does what I do. I was bawling."

Stand-up comedy
Miller's first job after graduation from college was at the Laugh Factory, the legendary Hollywood comedy club, working for club owner Jamie Masada, answering phones, putting names on the marquee, cocktail waitressing, and other tasks, while also performing stand-up at the club. When Miller moved back to upstate New York a few years later, she worked at Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club in Buffalo, living in a $125 per month apartment over a pizza parlor near the club. While working in radio in the 1980s and 1990s, she also performed at many comedy clubs around New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. She appeared twice on A & E's An Evening at the Improv, on the A&E TV Network, on August 5, 1988, and March 3, 1989. She was also the first comedian to perform when the Chicago Improv club opened. In addition, she performed a one-woman Off-Broadway show while living in New York City in the early 1990s. Miller also performed at the Laugh Factory when she moved back to Los Angeles from New York City in 2003. Miller says she has a talk with her late father every time she is about to face an audience.

Acting roles
Miller initially set out to be an actress, and for many years had hoped to star in her own sitcom, and also expressed interest in doing film. Early in her career, she had several small acting jobs, such as appearing as a nun in the 1984 TV movie Shattered Vows, and a brief appearance as a nurse on General Hospital. After gaining prominence as a radio and TV host she had roles where she essentially played herself, as in the movie View from the Top, and an episode of the TV series Diagnosis: Murder. Miller's most significant acting role was in the 1997 comedy film Just Write. During the late 1990s she also explored doing a television sitcom with producer Barry Kemp, who cast her in a pilot for ABC.

Early radio career
Miller did not plan a career in radio. In her words, "I always say radio was an accident until they started paying me a lot of money and then it wasn't an accident anymore."

She began her radio career after her father's death in 1983, when she returned to Lockport from California. Her first radio experience was delivering humorous bits on Sandy Beach's morning show on Hot 104 WNYS in Buffalo, New York, which included doing impressions of Katharine Hepburn. She then took an on-air job at radio station WLVL in Lockport, where she went from evenings to afternoon drive to mornings in three months. She then sent a tape to Brother Wease (Alan Levin), the morning drive host at WCMF in Rochester, New York. Levin "hired her as soon as I heard her tape.", and in 1985 she went to WCMF to work as "Sister Sleaze" on the Brother Wease show. Speaking about Miller, Levin has been very complimentary, noting "She's very manic, very bright, very funny and creative." While working with Miller, in reply to friends asking Levin "how come you give that girl so much mike?" he responded: "Because she's phenomenal. Don't try and compete; let people fly. I let her fly, and we had a ball." After Rochester, Miller progressed to larger markets, as morning co-host at radio station WCKG in Chicago with John Howell from early 1988 to October 1989, and as morning co-host with Howard Hoffman at Hot 97 WQHT in New York City for three years until 1993.

In 1993, Miller headed back to Los Angeles to develop a sitcom for Warner Brothers that never materialized. Instead, in 1994 she began her talk radio career when was hired by talk station KFI in Los Angeles, initially for her own weekend show which quickly became a weeknight radio show where Miller achieved high ratings. During the show, as she had on her earlier stations in Rochester and New York City, Miller would sometimes call her mother (also named Stephanie) in upstate New York on the phone, and her mother would also co-host when she came to visit in-person. Miller's mother would later do the same on her radio show at KABC. On her show on KFI, Miller began to incorporate political talk. "It was the first time I had done talk radio, and I was like, 'Oh, you mean just me talk, with no music?'" she recalls. "I was like, blah, blah, blah. Oh, I still have 10 minutes left. That's when I guess I started to get political, and I started to realize more of my liberal leanings." She states that her turning point in terms of being outspoken about politics came in August 1992, when she heard Pat Buchanan's gay-bashing "culture wars" speech at the Republican Convention. "It was just so mean. It changed everything for me."

Television talk show
In the autumn of 1995, Miller became one of the few women to host her own late night television talk show, The Stephanie Miller Show, syndicated by Buena Vista Television. Unlike other late night television talk shows, the show had no band, no desk, a studio audience with nightclub-style seating instead of theatre-style seating, conversations with the audience via video phone, and pre-taped sketches starring Miller as real-life characters. Anne Beatts, formerly a writer on Saturday Night Live, was executive producer and a writer for the show. Beatts enjoyed working on the show with Miller, and liked the immediacy of a daily talk show. However, the show was canceled in December 1995 after only 13 weeks. Danny Bonaduce filled in for Miller the last week the show was on the air. Reflecting on the experience a few years later for an article in The Buffalo News, Miller said, "I think 13 weeks is a pretty tough shot for any unknown in late night. I felt like my dad must have felt in the 1964 campaign: 'I have no shot in hell, but I'll just give it a try.". Comedian and voice actor Carlos Alazraqui, who later worked with Miller on her KABC radio show, and is now a regular guest on her current radio program (Coffee with Carlos), was part of the Irregular Regulars sketch comedy group on Miller's television show.

Return to radio
Stating that "After a year in the Federal Talk Show Relocation Program, I decided to come home to radio," Miller returned to Los Angeles radio in June 1997, first doing afternoons at KTZN ("The Zone") and then moving to evenings at KABC. It was during this period that she first began working with Chris Lavoie, who would later be her long-time executive producer on her current syndicated radio show, which began in 2004. Impressionist Jim Ward, who is on Miller's current radio show, also was with her on KABC, along with Carlos Alazraqui. The show was syndicated in September 1998 on approximately 20 stations. KABC canceled Miller's show in March 2000. The show continued in syndication on other stations for another week, but was then canceled completely. According to Miller, the firing from KABC was for the "somewhat racy content of my show" and for being "too liberal."

TV hosting
Along with her radio show, Miller began co-hosting in 1997 the CNBC television show Equal Time as the liberal counterpoint to conservative Bay Buchanan. Miller later said that she didn't enjoy Equal Time "very much" and that Buchanan would only talk to her when the camera was on. Miller left the show in 1998 to become the original host and a writer for a year on the Fox Family channel program Show Me the Funny. In February 2000, shortly before her departure from KABC, Miller began hosting the Oxygen Channel's revival of the game show I've Got a Secret. After her radio show on the ABC Radio Today network ended, Miller moved back to the New York City area and worked for the Oxygen Channel. She hosted its revival of I've Got a Secret, which ran for 120 episodes until 2001. Miller and May Lee also co-hosted Oxygen's 30-minute, weekday TV magazine show, Pure Oxygen, from 2000 to 2002. Lee said she and Miller "made a pretty good team - [Miller] as the funny, goofy half; me as the serious, sophisticated other half. We worked well together and understood our respective roles on the show."

TV and radio hosting: 2003 and later
After leaving Oxygen, Miller returned to Los Angeles in 2003, and shopped a pilot that she co-produced, which she described as a cross between The Carol Burnett Show and Politically Incorrect. The pilot was not picked up. From 2004 to 2005, Miller also served as a frequent panelist on the PAX TV game show Balderdash, which was hosted by Miller's friend Elayne Boosler. In 2004, Miller was initially offered the original morning show at Air America, but the offer was withdrawn, and the slot was taken by Morning Sedition, with Marc Maron, Mark Riley, and Sue Ellicott. In 2006, CNN discussed with Miller the possibility of a television show; however, the show was never developed.

Current radio show
On September 7, 2004, The Stephanie Miller Show was launched by Democracy Radio and WYD Media Management.

Miller's show's audience has grown to approximately 6 million weekly listeners (2017). She was ranked second in Los Angeles right behind The Rush Limbaugh Show. In 2017, Talkers Magazine ranked her the 23rd most important radio talk show host in America. The 2014 Talkers Heavy Hundred list ranked Stephanie Miller as the 22nd most important radio talk show host as well as the #3 radio talk host in the LGBT category in the United States market. In 2011, Miller won the Talkers Magazine Judy Jarvis Memorial Award for Outstanding Contributions to Talk Radio by a Woman.

Since 2010, TV and video simulcasts of The Stephanie Miller Show have been broadcast through numerous outlets, including Ustream (2010–2013), Current TV (2012–2013), Free Speech TV (2014-now), and  Twitch (service). (Currently)

Goldwater/Miller '08 Presidential Campaign
In 2007, Miller launched a spoof Presidential campaign with CC Goldwater, the granddaughter of Barry Goldwater. Miller's father ran with Barry Goldwater as vice president in 1964. The 2008 campaign was dubbed Goldwater/Miller '08...ex-Republican girls gone wild!. Commenting on the campaign, Miller stated, "We are the ticket of low expectations and morals and are damn proud of it, too." During the campaign, it was noted that with over $345 cash on hand, Goldwater wanted to buy some media time in the 4:00-4:15 AM time slot in Kern County, California.

Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour
Starting with the first show on April 23, 2011, in Madison, Wisconsin, Miller's live Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour has periodically toured the country to sold-out houses and very high acclaim. After Donald Trump became president, the tour was renamed the Sexy Liberal Resistance Tour. The current cast includes Miller, John Fugelsang, and the comedy duo Frangela, for an evening of liberal humor and commentary. The shows also have special guests. The comedy album, Stephanie Miller's Sexy Liberal Tour, Vol. 1, was released in December 2011. It became the first album to reach #1 on the comedy charts for iTunes, Amazon.com, and Billboard. On the day of its release, it was the #2 most downloaded album on Amazon and remained on the Billboard Comedy Album charts for 6 weeks. A DVD of the November 2016 pre-election show in Los Angeles is also available. In September 2012, Current TV broadcast a behind-the-scenes documentary about the Sexy Liberal Tour, including the origins of the Sexy Liberal Tour and never-before-seen footage and commentary from Miller and her then tour co-hosts John Fugelsang, Hal Sparks, and Aisha Tyler, as they toured the country.

The idea for the Sexy Liberal Tour originated in-studio during a live radio broadcast with Miller and John Fugelsang in 2011. The goal was to do a concert in Madison, Wisconsin to raise money for the recall of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Tickets went on sale two weeks prior to the show date and were sold out within four days.

On July 24, 2016, during a performance of the Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour in Philadelphia in conjunction with the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Miller fell off the stage at the Walnut Street Theatre, falling into the orchestra pit. John Fugelsang jumped into the orchestra pit after Miller to check on her. Civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred who was at the show, also came to her aid. Fugelsang and Frangela finished up the performance without her. Miller missed the next day's radio show, but was back on the air on Tuesday July 26.

In early 2024, the project announced Save The World Comedy Tour shows with veterans Stephanie Miller, John Fugelsang, Hal Sparks and Frangela.

Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour podcast
On September 12, 2014, Miller began Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour podcast, released weekly via paid subscription. This uncensored show of original content features many of the regulars and guests from her radio show, and other celebrities and comedians, typically consuming alcohol (as with any other happy hour) while they chat. Video versions of the Happy Hour are also available. The concept was suggested by Travis Bone, one of Miller's producers, who thought listeners might like to hear and see what it's like to be at a party at Stephanie's house. It also debuted on the Billboard charts on February 18, 2015, at #2, and was dubbed by Billboard as its "Hot Shot Debut". The Best of Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour, Volume 2, released in November 2015, repeated the feat.

Sexy Liberal! Of Me I Sing book release
In 2016, Miller released ''Sexy Liberal! Of Me I Sing'', a combination of memoir and political humor. It was initially released as an ebook where it immediately became #1 on Amazon in political, humor, and memoirs, and later was released in paperback.

Personal life
Miller lives in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles with her rescue dogs, Bonnie and Clyde. She has never been married and has no children, and often jokingly refers to herself as "a childless loser". In the 1990s, she had celebrity dates with parody songwriter "Weird Al" Yankovic and Barry Williams of Greg Brady fame.

While she had been open about her sexuality with family and friends for many years, in 2010 in the midst of the furor over gay marriage and Proposition 8 in California, she decided to publicly announce that she is a lesbian. On her August 13, 2010, radio show, Miller said, "I've reached my personal tipping point to say I am a gay woman." She then movingly shared details about her private life and personal journey in deciding to publicly disclose that she is gay. Miller credited country singer Chely Wright with helping her in coming out. Commenting in an interview with the San Diego Gay and Lesbian News on her decision, Miller said, "I realized that I can't authentically talk to [my listeners] about these issues anymore without walking in my truth. I can't just stand on the sidelines as an unbiased observer." After Miller came out as gay, she recorded a video for the It Gets Better Project, whose mission is to communicate to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth that it gets better. In the video she discussed how she had lost 15 years of closeness with her family because she mistakenly thought they wouldn't accept her as gay. The day after Miller came out, at a town hall in Seattle, Washington, a 16-year-old girl and her family came up to Miller "and they were all crying. They thanked me and told me I had given their daughter the courage to come out today. We all hugged and cried. And I told the young girl that it's going to be okay now; you're going to have a good life."

Miller has been public about having plastic surgery, stating "As it turns out, you can fool Mother Nature!! She's not that bright." Miller's plastic surgery includes a short-scar lift, a forehead lift, under-eye peels, a permanent nose job, and lip and eye lining.

 * Definitely expand and keep. Whitney High's claim to being a Wikipedia topic in its own right does not rest exclusively or decisively on its being a highly rated magnet school in California's public education system.  It is also the subject of a widely reviewed volume, School of Dreams, written by the Pulitzer prizewinning journalist Edward Humes, , .  Humes uses this book-length case study of Whitney High to bring to national attention the pressures endured by the students of America's selective schools as they strive to give their families nachas through their academic and future professional accomplishments, and interrogates the "wisdom" of educating children in such a hectic learning environment.--Defrosted 07:51, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Helagsfjället

NOT the highest Swedish mountain south of Sarek
There are several peaks in Sweden south of Sarek which are higher than Helagsfjället. For example: Jiegƞáffo (1836 m), Biernnagájsse (1828 m), Tjiláktjåhkkå (1824 m) and Sulitelma (1820+ m). So I will change the following sentence in the article: "The peak reaches 1,797 metres above sea level, which makes it the highest mountain south of the Sarek National Park", to "The peak reaches 1,797 metres above sea level, which makes it the highest mountain in Sweden south of the arctic circle." -Aaron, 2011-12-25 13:00

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was merge. The article has been tagged for merging. Joyous (talk) 13:18, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Mr. Sparkle
Minor character that appeared in one episode and made a cameo appearance in another. Most of the article is the transcription of the part where he is actually seen, and I don't think anything more than one or two sentences can be said about this. --Conti|✉ 04:17, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Simpsons precedent. Dcarrano 13:51, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: I suggest taking out the transcript on the basis of copyright. Otherwise harmless. Peter Grey 22:00, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with some other Simpsons article and delete transcript (highly possible copyvio) Renata3 21:18, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to In Marge We Trust, the only episode in which Mr. Sparkle plays a major role. He also appears in Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo, but just as a cameo. Binadot 02:19, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Only because the transcript is a copyvio.  When the In Marge We Trust article is covered, we'll get a fuller description.  Almafeta 03:08, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to In Marge We Trust, as it does seem to be mostly a description of that episode. Crovax 08:36, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's not just known for In Marge We Trust.  Look at the Engrish article:  he's "a well-known parody of Engrish."  As mentioned, he was also in Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo.  Failing this, Merge somewhere.  CanadianCaesar 23:17, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a stereotype about Japan, but in pog-form! I mean... as an independent character. Plus, it appeared twice in the series.--Baka toroi 03:01, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with In Marge We Trust. Not a noteworthy character by anybody outside the strong Simpsons fanbase, and the article is basically a Copywrite Vio and a description of the episode- it doesn't need its own article, the only reason he's "noted as a well known Engrish parody" is because a Simpson fan wrote that he was, I wouldn't say anybody I met in the street would describe him that way. --195.92.168.165 01:19, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with In Marge We Trust. About that "Engrish" quote, I actually deleted it because it doesn't have anything to do with Engrish at all. Engrish is mangled ENGLISH in Japan. Mr. Sparkle's packaging is completely in Japanese. Mike H (Talking is hot) 21:33, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Kostanai.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kostanai.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
