Talk:Andrew Gower (programmer)

3D Castle
The 3D castle products name was Castle Gamesdomain.

Deletion of the abuse
I deleted the remarks which were obscene towards Andrew Gower which were posted by a frustrated RuneScape player. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Draygen (talk • contribs) 22:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC) And boast about it? 121.79.28.198 (talk) 05:53, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Clean-Up
I have marked everything from "Creations and Programs" down as needing clean-up due to the following reasons

 * Past/Present Tense
 * Grammar
 * Repetition
 * Word Choice
 * Prioritization and Organization. What I mean by this is that the section starts off mentioning RuneScape, jumps to minor programs of Andrew's, leads into Devious MUD, and then, TA-DA!, we're back at RuneScape, mentioning the same information mentioned before. I suggest that the section "Creations and Programs" is followed subsections, e.g.

 * Early Programs
 * Devious MUD
 * RuneScape --Twipie 05:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Info source
You mention that information was gotten from his personal website? Where is this website exactly?

Xharock 15:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

His website was available through archive.org recently, but it was blocked for a reason I'll need to check out. I wish the site was still there, as thats where I got almost all this information. (from when I originally re-created this article, 95% of it still being there) ~ rih29 19:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I saved a copy of his CV from his old personal website when it was still available, but not the rest. However, I can confirm that he liked penguins (he actually had a whole page of his site dedicated to them). I also have some old pics of him (one from his site, the rest from the webcam). --Joshtek 12:25, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

 * What was the old url exactly? its almost impossible to find. EvilHom3r 23:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Middle Name?
whats his middle name?

 * It starts with a C. I'm not sure what it actually is though. ~ Rih29 06:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I seem to recall it's Christopher. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.21.96.85 (talk) 01:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC).
 * Can you tell us how you know this? ~ rih29 21:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

How's http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/reporter/1999-2000/weekly/5816/25.html for a source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.136.55 (talk) 23:29, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Protection
Does anyone else think that perhaps this page ought to either be a) protected or b) deleted entirely? The latter is another discussion, but it seems the only edits to this page at all in the last month or two have been vandalism or reversions of such.—chris.lawson (talk) 03:09, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I think it should be protected, because this should not have to change very much. It is about a person, not a current event. This is not just a normal everyday person, it is the creator of one of the largest mmorpg's out there. --cattrain 01:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I recreated this page with enough information to qualify. I included lots of information about Andrew and DeviousMUD! If this page is vandalized, I would like it to be protected. ~ Rih29 06:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Looking at WP:PPOL and WP:SPP, I really don't think this article meets the criteria for semi-protection, much less full protection. In fact, much of the notable information in here is already included under RuneScape and Jagex. Pyrospirit  Talk  Contribs 18:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Much of this information took research and none, if not, very little of it was found using those two articles. ~ rih29 21:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Game Question
Whats that monster game that Andrew Gower made before Runescape its one where you create your own monster and you battle to make it better...any ideas anyone?

 * I believe it may be Cyber-Wars? 06:08, ~ Rih29 06:09, 28 December 2006

 * I believe he's actually reffering to Battle Thingz. You created a monster using different parts of different animals/beasts to create your own monster you would fight, it was great fun :). I wish it was still around to play. 86.135.154.141 00:51, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Big tidy up - new references found, and original research removed
I have just spent a considerable amount of time with google and the wayback machine attempting to find references for this article. I've been through it a sentance at a time!, and have succesfully managed to find sources for most the key facts. The remaining stuff which was completely unatributable (and hence original research) I have removed, but I think the page is looking fairly good now if a little short. Before readding further facts please make sure they are properly referenced, and non-trivial. Thanks 85.211.227.3 22:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Picture?
I've noticed it's almost impossible to find a picture of him, even on Google. Is it possible to get a picture here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)
 * I have pictures but won't post them for the following reasons: 1. Although they were published on public sites by Andrew Gower, I don't know if it is legal to re-post them (I'm not a fair use expert) 2. Wikipedia prefers verifiability over truth, and I can't prove their authenticity and am not considered a trusted source --Joshtek 23:10, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * if anyone needs any publicly released pictures of andrew gower you can find them here. 72.64.66.117 (talk) 00:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Also http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/exclusions/hubpages/madeitby40/nosplit/madeit30to11.xml has a picture --RS Ren (talk) 20:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There used to be a picture of Gower on this article. What happened to that? I think it got deleted but I dont know why. Royal mate1 01:20, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Theres a picture of him on the Runescape wiki here..  Royal  Mate1  02:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Notablility?
Is he really particularly notable? He's started a company that makes a major MMORPG- ok, but does anything establish his notability? OSbornarf 22:16, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, he's been in a few newspapers (The Times Rich List for one) and on some of the big gaming sites a few times. CaptainVindaloo t c e 23:17, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Worth $650 million?
http://www.dulcenegosyante.com/top-20-internet-millionaires-under-30/ lists Andrew Gower as worth $650M (£331M). How reliable is this source? --RS Ren (talk) 21:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Truth? Or vandalism?
"Between 1995 and 1996 Andrew created Doom II."

I was about to revert this, but I wanted to ask first:Did Andrew Gower really help create Doom II? I know for a fact he didnt "create" it, but still, I was wondering if this was vandalism or not.--Roflthatnoobgotowned (talk) 01:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * He created a Doom clone called Destruction Imminent, but had nothing to do with Doom II. --RS Ren (talk) 17:26, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

The mini games are not found on Jagex's main website anymore.
Only Vertigo remains on the main Jagex's website. The rest of the games have been improved and moved to Funorb. I would like to fix this on the site, but I can not since I am not a autoconfirmed user. --TehKittyCat (talk) 02:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I am now a autoconfirmed user. I would Like to know if anyone supports the change before I make it since this page is semi-protected. TehKittyCat (talk) 23:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Gower's Birthday
This page is in the category of living persons with birthdates missing (or something similar), yet on the Unofficial Andrew Gower website (listed in the article's external links),and other sites, it clearly states his birthdate as December 3rd, 1978. And since this page is semi-protected, I am not able to include that on the article. If someone does have access, could they confirm and add this fact? Thank you: Liwolf1
 * Yes, that is his birthdate and I added his birthdate last year but it was removed by Seriousspender as unreliable info. The birth date was originally formulated by myself based on tip.it's news post archive which has a happy birthday message (which is based on a post on the RuneScape website wishing Andrew and Lightning a happy birthday) for the day and month (it didn't state which birthday it was), and Andrew stating his age on the #RuneScape IRC channel which I have personal logs for. I guess neither are seen as sufficiently reliable or verifiable sources for Wikipedia. --RS Ren (talk) 11:51, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

So if andrew made doom 2 why does it now say he made doom 1 and 3 ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.29.119.13 (talk) 20:08, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Andrew didn't make any of the Dooms, only the Doom-clone Destruction Imminent. --RS Ren (talk) 18:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Citation for this?
Is there any proof that Mechscape is only a code name? Frozen4322 (talk) 19:46, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * They called it a code name in a recent press release and interview. The Jagex CEO recently told MechScape World in a statement of clarification that they were currently unsure whether or not the game would be called MechScape. --RS Ren (talk) 07:19, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, is there a link to this that we can add to the citations? Frozen4322 (talk) 13:41, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Jagex-Ltd-965788.html and http://www.massively.com/2009/03/31/gdc09-what-jagex-has-in-store-with-mechscape/ and http://www.mechscapeworld.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6075&st=0&start=0 --RS Ren (talk) 18:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I have added the citations, Although i am no good with the dates for the references, so could someone do that for me? Frozen4322 (talk) 02:34, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

 * If you go to www.mechscapeworld.com they seem to have a ton of info on this matter —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerd10101010 (talk • contribs) 04:03, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Andrew Gower Interacting With Community
As said on the RuneScape article:

I think it's worth saying that the RuneScape Forums are being used by Andrew Gower, the co-creator of RuneScape, to interact with the community. I tried adding this in, but the reference didn't work as I'm not experienced enough with WikiPedia; would someone mind adding it for me? The reference is http://runescapez.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2669, you can see a screenshot of Andrew saying this himself.

Do you think it's worth adding? If so, please add it, elseways, disagree here. =D

Thanks

 * Currently all wiki articles must be placed in a Neutral Point of View, furthermore I remember that only the top three fan sites are to be included --Frozen4322 Talk Stalk Walk 12:45, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Use of Andrew Gower's fist name in the article
I hate to sound like a priss, but I think Gower's last name should be used in the article, not his first. -Cheesefee, the Ultimate Mario Fan- (talk) 02:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Article split into parts
I decided to be bold, and split the article into sections. -Cheesefee, the Ultimate Mario Fan- (talk) 03:02, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good. Let's get to work with a format like this...

* 1 Early life * 2 Career o 2.1 Early career o 2.2 RuneScape o 2.3 MechScape * 3 Personal life * 4 Video game credits * 5 References
 * For a subsection about "MechScape" and "FunOrb" would have to have significant involvement in the projects. Also, no sources on Gower's "early life" has been found. Thanks! Alex Douglas (talk) 19:59, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Consider adding a "Not to be confused with Andrew Gowers" template. Alex Douglas (talk) 20:12, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Fen Research Ltd.
What do you think about adding reference to Andrew Gower's new startup company Fen Research Ltd ? It is not runescape related but it sounds like research based off the RuneTek engine. It sounds like some sort of gaming platform that they plan on developing.

You can view Andrew Gower's LinkedIn profile to find out what he's doing these days.

Image Tagging Image:Itstimemb.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Itstimemb.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 you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, please check 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.

Image:Allanheinberg.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Allanheinberg.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Micaelbublemb.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Micaelbublemb.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Hosea Stout

Hosea Stout (September 18, 1810 – March 2, 1889) was an early leader in the Latter Day Saint movement, a Mormon pioneer, soldier, chief of police, lawyer, missionary, and politician in Utah Territory.

Stout was from Kentucky and one of the few early Mormons to come from The South. The Latter Day Saint Church occasionally opposed slavery which largely discouraged converts from this region of the U.S.

Early life
Stout was born in Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, into the large family of Joseph Stout and Ann Smith, both strict Quakers. As a child, Stout was temporarily put in a Shaker school due to his family's financial hardships. However, after four years in the school, his father's circumstances improved and his father removed him from the school.

Black Hawk War service
In 1832, Stout enlisted with United States Mounted Ranger Battalion under Major Henry Dodge to fight in the Black Hawk War. The U.S. Rangers recruited from frontiersmen who served a one year enlistment and had to provide their own rifles and horses.

Latter Day Saints movement
During the time of the Black Hawk War, Stout became acquainted with the Latter Day Saints movement and was taught by later apostle Charles C. Rich. In 1837, he sold his business and moved to Caldwell County, Missouri, where the Latter Day Saints had gathered after their expulsion from Jackson County, Missouri, and Kirtland, Ohio. Here he married Samantha Peck. Shortly after this, he was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

During the Missouri Mormon War of 1838, Stout was a member of the Danites, a Latter Day Saint vigilante group, and took a central role in the events of the 1838 Mormon War, and fought in the Battle of Crooked River. After the Latter Day Saints were forced to leave Missouri and moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, Stout served as a bodyguard for Joseph Smith. During this period he was also a commander in the Nauvoo Legion and the Chief of Police of Nauvoo. He was further set apart as President of the eleventh Quorum of Seventies and made a member of the Council of Fifty, an organization created by Joseph Smith in preparation for the Second Coming of Christ.

About one month after the death of Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum on June 27, 1844, their brother Samuel H. Smith also died under allegedly suspicious circumstances. Samuel Smith's daughter and William Smith, who was the only surviving Smith brother, later claimed that Stout had poisoned Samuel under orders from Brigham Young and Willard Richards, members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. However, Stout was never tried for this alleged crime and Smith's claims are disputed.

Nebraska
After Brigham Young and the church were forced to leave Nauvoo in 1846, Stout served as the chief of police in Winter Quarters, Nebraska, when the Latter Day Saints migrated there. An early Mormon pioneer, Stout arrived in the Salt Lake Valley as a member of Heber C. Kimball's company in September 1848.

Sometime after leaving Navuoo, Stout married additional wives, consistent with teachings and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) at the time. He married a total of six wives.

China and Hong Kong Missions
On August 28, 1852, a decision was made by Mormon missionary leaders that Elders Hosea Stout, James Lewis, and Chapman Duncan, along with Walter Thompson, were to travel on a mission to China. This was the first Mormon mission to China, and none in the group knew the Chinese language. Stout and his peers first traveled to the British Colony of Hong Kong, and from there traveled into mainland China. They made no converts there and so returned to Hong Kong, where they managed to convince only a few of their message. In late 1853, Stout and his peers returned to United States. His missions to China and Hong Kong were ultimately unsuccessful.

Wyoming
In November 1856, Stout helped rescue a snowbound handcart company caught in Wyoming. During the Utah War of 1857–58, Stout helped build and maintain fortifications in Echo Canyon meant to deter federal forces from entering Utah Territory. In later years, "Wild Bill" Hickman admitted to murdering Richard Yates during this period at the mouth of Echo Canyon. In a deal for immunity from prosecution, Hickman implicated Stout and other Mormon leaders in the murder. Stout was arrested for the crime in 1871 and was incarcerated for six months at Fort Douglas before being released and acquitted. In 1877, Stout retired from public life due to poor health and died 11 years later near Salt Lake City.

Politics
In Utah, Stout started a long career in both law and politics. He was elected to the Utah Territory's House of Representatives in 1849 and was a part of the delegation to create a constitution for the proposed State of Deseret. Stout served as the first Attorney General of Utah Territory, and in 1851, he was one of the first lawyers admitted to the bar of Utah. From 1856 to 1857, he served as the speaker of the House. Later, he was chairman of the code commissioners, a territorial prosecutor, and U.S. Attorney.

Diary
One of Stout's greatest contributions was as a diarist. The Diary of Hosea Stout has become an invaluable resource for historians of the Latter Day Saints in the nineteenth century.

Wavelet packet decomposition

Originally known as optimal subband tree structuring (SB-TS), also called wavelet packet decomposition (WPD; sometimes known as just wavelet packets or subband tree), is a wavelet transform where the discrete-time (sampled) signal is passed through more filters than the discrete wavelet transform (DWT).

Introduction
In the DWT, each level is calculated by passing only the previous wavelet approximation coefficients (cAj) through discrete-time low- and high-pass quadrature mirror filters. However, in the WPD, both the detail (cDj (in the 1-D case), cHj, cVj, cDj (in the 2-D case)) and approximation coefficients are decomposed to create the full binary tree.

For n levels of decomposition the WPD produces 2n different sets of coefficients (or nodes) as opposed to (n + 1) sets for the DWT. However, due to the downsampling process the overall number of coefficients is still the same and there is no redundancy.

From the point of view of compression, the standard wavelet transform may not produce the best result, since it is limited to wavelet bases that increase by a power of two towards the low frequencies. It could be that another combination of bases produce a more desirable representation for a particular signal. There are several algorithms for subband tree structuring that find a set of optimal bases that provide the most desirable representation of the data relative to a particular cost function (entropy, energy compaction, etc.). There were relevant studies in signal processing and communications fields to address the selection of subband trees (orthogonal basis) of various kinds, e.g. regular, dyadic, irregular, with respect to performance metrics of interest including energy compaction (entropy), subband correlations and others.

Discrete wavelet transform theory (continuous in the time variable) offers an approximation to transform discrete (sampled) signals. In contrast, the discrete-time subband transform theory enables a perfect representation of already sampled signals.

Applications

 * Wavelet packets were successfully applied in preclinical diagnosis.

 * Wavelet packet decomposition proves advantageous for capturing intricate patterns and variations in the electrochemical signals, which can be indicative of the battery's health and degradation over time. By breaking down the complex battery signal into its constituent frequency components, wavelet packet decomposition allows for a more detailed analysis of the underlying characteristics associated with different stages of battery aging.

 * Wavelet packet decomposition is employed as a preprocessing step to decompose vibration signals acquired from the wind turbine gearbox into multiple frequency bands, capturing both high and low-frequency components. This decomposition allows for the extraction of essential features related to fault signatures at different scales, enabling a more comprehensive analysis of the gearbox's health status. It helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of fault detection and classification, especially in the complex and critical domain of wind turbine gearbox systems.

 * In the context of rainfall forecasting, wavelet packet decomposition proves valuable for capturing the complex and multi-scale patterns in precipitation data. It can decompose the original monthly rainfall time series into various sub-series corresponding to different frequency. This decomposition is instrumental in unveiling hidden patterns and trends within the data, which can be crucial for improving the forecasting accuracy.

 * Moisture detection in timber is crucial for assessing its structural integrity and preventing potential issues such as decay and damage. Wavelet Packet Decomposition is a powerful signal processing technique that offers a multi-resolution analysis of the timber's moisture content. This approach allows for a detailed examination of the signal at different frequency bands, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the moisture distribution within the material.

 * Researchers employ wavelet packet decomposition to analyze the seismic response of structures, enabling a finer resolution in both time and frequency domains. This detailed analysis allows for the identification of subtle changes in the structural response that may signify damage. By decomposing the seismic response into its constituent frequency components, the researchers gain insights into the time-varying characteristics of the structural behavior. This is crucial for identifying dynamic changes in the structure's response over time, which may indicate the presence and extent of damage.

 * In the context of forecasting oil futures prices, the multiresolution nature of wavelet packet decomposition enables the forecasting model to capture both high and low-frequency components in the time series, thereby improving the ability to capture the complex patterns and fluctuations inherent in financial data.

Downwinders

Downwinders were individuals and communities in the intermountain West between the Cascade and Rocky Mountain ranges primarily in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah but also in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho who were exposed to radioactive contamination or nuclear fallout from atmospheric or underground nuclear weapons testing, and nuclear accidents.

More generally, the term can also include those communities and individuals who are exposed to ionizing radiation and other emissions due to the regular production and maintenance of coal ash, nuclear weapons, nuclear power, nuclear waste, and geothermal energy. In regions near U.S. nuclear sites, downwinders may be exposed to releases of radioactive materials into the environment that contaminate their groundwater systems, food chains, and the air they breathe. Some downwinders may have suffered acute exposure due to their involvement in uranium mining and nuclear experimentation.

Several severe adverse health effects, such as an increased incidence of cancers, thyroid diseases, CNS neoplasms, and possibly female reproductive cancers that could lead to congenital malformations have been observed in Hanford, Washington, "downwind" communities exposed to nuclear fallout and radioactive contamination. The impact of nuclear contamination on an individual is generally estimated as the result of the dose of radiation received and the duration of exposure, using the linear no-threshold model (LNT). Sex, age, race, culture, occupation, class, location, and simultaneous exposure to additional environmental toxins are also significant, but often overlooked, factors that contribute to the health effects on a particular "downwind" community.

Nuclear testing
Between 1945 and 1980, the United States, the U.S.S.R., the United Kingdom, France and China exploded 504 nuclear devices in atmospheric tests at thirteen primary sites yielding the explosive equivalent of 440 megatons of TNT. Of these atmospheric tests, 330 were conducted by the United States. Accounting for all types of nuclear tests, official counts show that the United States has conducted 1,054 nuclear weapons tests to date, involving at least 1,151 nuclear devices, most of which occurred at Nevada Test Site and the Pacific Proving Grounds in the Marshall Islands, with ten other tests taking place at various locations in the United States, including Alaska, Colorado, Mississippi, and New Mexico. There have been an estimated 2,000 nuclear tests conducted worldwide; the number of nuclear tests conducted by the United States alone is currently more than the sum of nuclear testing done by all other known nuclear states (the USSR, Great Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea) combined.

These nuclear tests infused vast quantities of radioactive material into the world's atmosphere, resulting in widely dispersed radiation and its subsequent deposition as global fallout.

Exposure
Aboveground nuclear explosions produce a characteristic mushroom cloud, which moves downwind as it reaches its stabilization height. Dispersion of the radioactive elements causes vertical and lateral cloud movement, spreading radioactive materials over adjacent regions. While the large particles settle nearby the site of the detonation, smaller particles and gases may be dispersed around the world. Additionally, some explosions injected radioactive material into the stratosphere, more than 10 kilometers above ground level, meaning it may float there for years before being subsequently deposited uniformly around the earth. Global fallout is the result, which exposes everything to an elevated level of man-made background radiation. While "downwinders" refers to those who live and work closest to the explosion site and are thus most acutely affected, there is a global effect of increased health risks due to ionizing radiation in the atmosphere.

Health effects
The earliest concerns raised about the health effects of exposure to nuclear fallout had to do with fears of genetic alterations that may occur among the offspring of those most exposed. However, the observed inheritable effects of radiation exposure by groups with histories of acute risk are considered minimal compared with the significant increase in thyroid cancer, leukemia and certain solid tumors that have developed within a decade or more after exposure. As studies of biological samples (including bone, thyroid glands and other tissues) have been undertaken, it has become increasingly clear that specific radionuclides in fallout are implicated in fallout-related cancers and other late effects.

Ionizing radiation contained in fallout from nuclear testing is especially damaging to dividing cells. For this reason, fetuses and infants are especially vulnerable to injury. Such cellular damage may later manifest as leukemia and other cancers in children. In 1958, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation reported on fetal and infant deaths caused by radiation.

In 1980, American popular weekly magazine People reported that from about 220 cast and crew who filmed in a 1956 movie, The Conqueror, on location near St. George, Utah, ninety-one had come down with cancer, and 50 had died of cancer. Of these, forty-six had died of cancer by 1980. Among the cancer deaths were John Wayne, Pedro Armendáriz and Susan Hayward, the stars of the film. However, the lifetime odds of developing cancer for men in the U.S. population are 43 percent and the odds of dying of cancer are 23 percent (38 percent and 19 percent, respectively, for women). This places the cancer mortality rate for the 220 primary cast and crew quite near the expected average, but it needs to be noted that this statistic does not include the Native American Paiute extras in the film.

Current status
After adopting the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1996, the U.S. and several other nuclear states pledged to stop nuclear testing. The United States Senate has not yet ratified the treaty, although it stopped testing in 1992. The final US test series was Operation Julin, in September 1992. Three countries have tested nuclear weapons since the CTBT opened for signature in 1996. India and Pakistan both carried out two sets of tests in 1998. North Korea carried out six announced tests, one each in 2006, 2009, 2013, two in 2016 and one in 2017.

In 2011, the US Senate designated January 27th as a national day of remembrance for Americans who, during the Cold War, worked and lived downwind from nuclear testing sites.

For many years, Senator Ben Ray Luján and other members of Congress have attempted to get compensation for those affected by the Trinity test. In 2023, after the film Oppenheimer brought renewed attention to the test, the United States Senate approved the New Mexico downwinders' inclusion in the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act amendment. To become law, the bill would also need to be passed by the United States House of Representatives.

New Mexico
On July 16, 1945, the United States military conducted the word’s first test of an atom bomb in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Code-named Trinity, this explosion also created the world’s first victims of an atom bomb: residents of New Mexico.

Years before the test, scientists warned of the risks for civilians of atomic testing. In their memorandum of March 1940, Manhattan Project physicists Otto Frisch and Rudolf Peierls warned: “Owing to the spread of radioactive substances with the wind, the bomb could probably not be used without killing large numbers of civilians, and this may make it unsuitable as a weapon for use by this country.” At the very least, they suggested that “[I]t would be very important to have an organization which determines the exact extent of the danger area, by means of ionization measurements, so that people can be warned from entering it.” Federal officials for the most part ignored these warnings but a last minute small team to monitor some of the radiation was assembled. “New Mexico residents were neither warned before the 1945 Trinity blast, informed of health hazards afterward, nor evacuated before, during, or after the test."

Nevada
From 1951 – 1962, the Nevada Test Site (NTS) was a primary site used for both surface and above-ground nuclear testing, with 100 tests at or above ground level, all of which involved releases of significant amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere. Atmospheric testing was halted in 1958 after a testing moratorium was agreed upon with the Soviet Union. The Soviets broke the agreement in 1961, and both sides resumed testing. Two American test series followed: Operation Nougat, and then Operation Storax. The Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty went into effect in 1963, banning all above ground testing. Further tests were underground, which, with the exception of a few test failures, did not release fallout.

In the 1950s, people who lived in the vicinity of the NTS were encouraged to sit outside and watch the mushroom clouds that were created by nuclear bomb explosions. Many were given radiation badges to wear on their clothes, which the Atomic Energy Commission later collected to gather data about radiation levels.

In a report by the National Cancer Institute, released in 1997, it was determined that the nearly ninety atmospheric tests at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) left high levels of radioactive iodine-131 (5.5 exabecquerels, Ebq) across a large area of the continental United States, especially in the years 1952, 1953, 1955, and 1957. The National Cancer Institute report estimates that doses received in these years are estimated to be large enough to produce 10,000 to 75,000 additional cases of thyroid cancer in the U.S. A 1999 review of the 1997 report considered that their estimates of collective doses were in "good agreement" and "should provide confidence that the NCI estimate is not grossly under or over the actual value." A 2006 report, published by the Scientific Research Society, estimates that about 22,000 additional radiation-related cancers and 2,000 additional deaths from radiation-related leukemia are expected to occur in the United States because of external and internal radiation from both NTS and global fallout. A 2010 report evaluating data on thyroid cancer incidence from 1973 to 2004 also supported a relationship between exposure from fallout and increased thyroid cancer incidence. The threat of downwind exposure to radioactivity remaining at the Nevada Test Site from nuclear weapons tests was still an issue as late as 2007. The Pentagon planned to test a 700-ton ammonium nitrate-and-fuel oil "bunker buster" weapon. The planned "Divine Strake" test would have raised a large mushroom cloud of contaminated dust that could have blown toward population centers such as Las Vegas, Boise, Salt Lake City, and St. George, Utah. This project was cancelled in February 2007, in large part due to political pressure inspired by the threat of downwind exposure to radioactivity.

Hanford
While many downwinders were exposed to weapons testing, millions more have been affected by radioactive fallout due to U.S. sites engaged in the production of nuclear weapons and/or nuclear power. For example, Hanford is a former nuclear weapons production site located in south central Washington state, where the Washington state Department of Health collaborated with the citizen-led Hanford Health Information Network (HHIN) to publicize significant data about the health effects of Hanford's operations. Established in 1943, Hanford released radioactive materials into the air, water and soil, releases which largely resulted from the site's routine operation, though some were also due to accidents and intentional releases.

By February 1986, mounting citizen pressure forced the U.S. Department of Energy to release to the public 19,000 pages of previously unavailable historical documents about Hanford's operations. These reports revealed there had been radioactive materials released into the air and Columbia River. The reactors used large amounts of water from the river for cooling, which caused materials in the river water to become radioactive as they passed through the reactor. The water and the radioactive materials it contained were released into the river after passing through the reactors, thus contaminating both groundwater systems and aquatic animals downstream as far west as the Washington and Oregon coasts.

The Hanford Thyroid Disease Study, an epidemiologic study of the relationship between estimated exposure doses to radioiodine and incidence of thyroid disease amongst Hanford's downwinders, led by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, was inconclusive. A consolidated lawsuit brought by two thousand Hanford downwinders for personal injury against the contractors that ran Hanford has been in the court system for many years. The defense in the litigation is fully funded by taxpayer dollars due to Price Anderson indemnification agreements. The first six bellwether plaintiffs went to trial in 2005, to test the legal issues applying to the remaining plaintiffs in the suit. In October 2015, the Department of Energy resolved the final cases. The DOE paid more than $60 million in legal fees and $7 million in damages.

Marshall Islands
While the term "downwinders" generally connotes nuclear fallout victims based in the continental U.S. near sites such as Hanford and NTS, the population of the Marshall Islands bore a large brunt of nuclear testing under the United States' Pacific Proving Ground program. Now known officially as the Republic of the Marshall Islands, it was a United Nations Trust Territory administered by the United States from 1944 to 1979, years during which the United States tested 66 nuclear weapons in the Marshall Islands.

One of these many tests, the March 1, 1954, explosion of Castle Bravo, a U.S. thermonuclear device, was responsible for most of the radiation the Marshall Islanders were exposed to. The fallout-related doses of this single test are believed to be the highest recorded in the history of worldwide nuclear testing. Many of the Marshall Islands which were part of the Pacific Proving Grounds remain contaminated by nuclear fallout, and many of those downwinders who were living on the islands at the time of testing have suffered from a highly increased incidence of several types of cancers and birth defects.

Effects of radiation on female downwinders
The primary long-term health hazard associated with exposure to ionizing radiation as a result of nuclear fallout is an increased risk for cancers of the thyroid, other solid tumor cancers, and leukemia. The relationship between radiation exposure and subsequent cancer risk is considered "the best understood, and certainly the most highly quantified, dose-response relationship for any common environmental human carcinogen", according to report by the National Cancer Institute. Overall, men in the United States develop cancer at a rate 22% higher than that of women. However, women develop cancer from radiation at a rate from 37.5% to 52% higher than that of men. In recent years, studies conducted by both the National Research Council and the EPA have confirmed that compared to men, women are at a significantly higher risk of radiation-induced cancers, such and that women's sensitivity to radiation-induced cancers is much higher than was previously estimated. The increased radiosensitivity of certain organs in women, such as the breast, ovaries, and thyroid is likely the cause of this difference.

In the EPA's 1999 Federal Guidance Report #13(FGR 13), Cancer Risk Coefficients for Environmental Exposure to Radionuclides, the authors conclude that women have a 48 percent higher radionuclide-related cancer mortality risk than men. Further evidence of sex-based disparities in radiation-induced cancers was published in the 2006 report by the National Research Council's Committee to Assess Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation (known as the BEIR VII report), which found that women's risk due to radiation exposure exceeded men's by 37.5 percent. When one considers rates of cancer incidence separately from rates of cancer fatality, the sex disparities are even greater. The BEIR VII Committee concluded that, given the same level of radiation exposure, women are 52 percent more likely than men to develop cancer, while the EPA report puts the estimate of difference as high as 58 percent.

The differences in risk are even greater when considering organ-specific cancers, especially given that both reports identify breast, ovarian, lung, colon, and thyroid tissues as the most radiosensitive among women. For example, the FGR 13 has estimated that the ratio of thyroid cancer incidence for women as compared to men is 2.14, while the findings of BEIR VII suggest that women are even more vulnerable to radiation-induced thyroid cancer at a ratio of 4.76.

As increasing concerns are raised regarding the environmental risks related to breast, the BEIR VII report cited evidence that suggests that "radiation may interact synergistically with other risk factors for breast cancer", raising the possibility that endocrine disrupting chemicals like PCBs and dioxins might combine to increase the risks associated with radiation beyond that which would be caused by either separately. A related concern is that radionuclides that may be passed through the breast milk, causing some women who are downwinders to be reluctant to breastfeed their children. While reducing the radioactive intake of their infants is an important preventative measure, it denies women the opportunity to engage a preventative measure for their own health; i.e. breastfeeding has been widely documented as a practice that can reduce women's risk of developing breast cancer. By refraining from breastfeeding, women downwinders' risks of breast cancer incidence becomes even more elevated.

Pregnancy and birth outcomes
Evidence about radiation-related pregnancy and birth outcomes comes from studies of nuclear bomb and test site survivors and studies of those exposed to diagnostic and therapeutic radiation. Mounting research indicates that above certain levels of radiation a miscarriage will result. It is also clear that fetal malformations are a greater risk if a woman is exposed to high doses of nuclear-related radiation in early pregnancy, when organs are being formed. If acute radiation exposure occurs in the first ten days following conception, when few cells have formed, it is likely that the embryo will fail to develop and spontaneous abortion will occur. Fetal malformations are most likely to occur if a pregnant woman receives a radiation dose >500 mSv between the 10th and 40th day of pregnancy, the period of organogenesis during which the organs are formed. After the 40th day, the effects of radiation exposure are likely to include low birth weight, delayed growth, and possible mental deficits rather than fetal malformations. Radiation doses above 4,000 mSv are likely to kill both the mother and the fetus.

It has been shown that radiation damage including genome instability and carcinogenesis may occur transgenerationally in both males and females. The effects of radiation on fetal formation are also particularly relevant as a women's health issue to the extent that female fetuses' ova are formed while the fetus is still in utero. Adverse effects on a mother carrying a female fetus may therefore be multigenerational and increase both the daughter's and grandchildren's risks for ovarian cancer, infertility, and other reproductive developmental problems.

Compensation
In 1990, the U.S. Congress passed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), providing financial assistance to individuals who suffered from radiation exposure-related diseases, including lung cancer, leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphomas, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, as well as nonmalignant respiratory conditions such as lung fibrosis and pulmonary fibrosis. This law specifically aimed to compensate former uranium miners who fell ill during the time when the U.S. Government was the sole purchaser of uranium. Since its establishment in 1990, RECA has provided benefits exceeding $2.5 billion to over 39,000 claimants.

Initially, RECA had narrow definitions regarding eligible people and covered diseases, but complaints arose regarding these limitations, leading to efforts to amend the act. In 1999, recognizing the need for change in the compensation process under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), four bills were submitted in the U.S. Congress aimed at amending the act. Advocacy initiatives were directed towards extending coverage to include additional occupations, lower the standard of proof for uranium miners, eliminate distinctions between smokers and nonsmokers, and increase compensation for eligible individuals, which led to approved amendments to RECA in 2000, expanding coverage and modifying eligibility criteria to assist affected groups.

Downwinders eligible for compensation include those living in specified counties of Nevada, Utah, and Arizona for at least two years between January 1951 and October 1958, or during July 1962-periods when the United States conducted above ground nuclear tests without warning, and who are able to show correlations between certain diseases and their personal exposure to nuclear radiation. Miners' compensation covers workers employed in uranium mines in five states-Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, and Utah-between January 1947 and December 1971. Uranium miners are eligible for $100,000, and onsite participants are eligible for $75,000.

Navajo-related obstacles
There are particular obstacles to receiving needed health care and compensation faced by many widows and widowers of Navajo uranium miners, who were affected by disproportionately high incidences of fatal lung cancer caused by radon exposure. In fact, the health effects of radon were first widely acknowledged when Mormon and Native American miners who hardly smoke (the main reason for lung cancer) had high incidences of lung cancer. Modern mining practices greatly reduce the danger from radon - also present in many coal mines - by proper ventilation. One problem for Navajo widows and widowers seeking the federal benefits for which they are qualified is the requirement that they document their marriages, although many were married in the 1930s and 1940s in undocumented tribal ceremonies. Language and cultural barriers pose further obstacles to Navajo downwinders; since many elderly Navajos do not speak English, their children bear the responsibility to do the research and procure from a tribal law judge a validation certificate of their tribal marriage. Similarly, it is difficult to access the outdated medical and occupational documentation that the government required even though the government's and uranium companies' own records for Navajo miners are sparse and difficult to access.

Systems-stub / Systems Thinking stubs
Hello. I notice that you added Systems-stub to the stub types page. Note that the top of the page states:

 * "To avoid unnecessary redirects and reverts, please discuss all new stubs types at WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria prior to creation of new stubs and placement in articles or tables."

I have therefore moved the entry to the relevant location. Feel free to discuss it there.

--TheParanoidOne 22:37, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Missed that. --John Abbe

Reverted back Wiki
I reverted Wiki back to the version that has it inheriting the properties of software engine. I put what I feel is a logical illustration of my claim of this relationship in the talk section. If there's information that I'm missing, then I'll gladly oblige. Timhowardriley (talk) 21:00, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

As noted there, not all wikis are software engines. And even if they were, it's not a helpful term for most readers. --John_Abbe (talk) 11:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Friendly heads up
Hi John! Thanks for your great contributions to the project! One guideline you may want to read up on is WP:Overlink. Usually we don't create wikilinks for common words like 'transport'. :-)  -- — Keithbob •  Talk  • 18:27, 29 October 2015 (UTC) "Thanks yeah, it's true that I am very fond of adding links in Wikipedia, but I try to keep it relevant - and with Elon Musk's SpaceX, Tesla, Hyperloop, etc., just seemed like a missing link. It's interesting, because Musk's explicit goal seems to be to help save humanity, but somehow it always leads to him designing and building fast-moving toys! :-) John_Abbe (talk) 19:40, 29 October 2015 (UTC)"

NVC @ Wikipedia
Hello John, since you sport an NVC user template on your page (and an advanced one!), I wonder if you made any experiences using NVC at Wikipedia.

Image Tagging Image:Lizardking85.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Lizardking85.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read 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 images, please check 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. --OrphanBot 08:13, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Brian halloween05.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Brian halloween05.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 09:06, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Roll On (The Living End album)

Fair use rationale for Image:Roll on a.jpg
Image:Roll on a.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Redirect/Protection
Consensus at the AfD for this article (see link above) was that it should be redirected to the parent article unless reliable sourcing could bring it into line with the notability requirements set out at WP:N and WP:MUSIC. To ensure that the page is not again restored to contents deemed inappropriate for Wikipedia, the redirect has been temporarily protected. Should you wish to create a properly sourced article for this single, please contact me at my talk page or request unprotection at Requests for page protection. The expiration of protection on this page does not imply that the restoration of the former contents are acceptable. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:09, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

platinum or double?
hi all, according to the article, this album achieved double platinum status on nov 2007, i have been unable to find a reference that confirms this (the reference in the article does not have a url and shows up as an error). rather, the ARIA accredidations chart for 2000 albums shows this album as achieving single platinum only - see here. if no one objects, i will amend the article accordingly over the next couple of days.
