Ross Taylor

Luteru Ross Poutoa Lote Taylor (born 8 March 1984) is a former New Zealand international cricketer and former captain of the New Zealand national team. Batting predominantly at number four, when he announced his retirement from international cricket at the end of 2021, he was the leading run-scorer for New Zealand in Test and One Day International cricket. Taylor was a key member of the New Zealand team that won the 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship, where he scored the winning boundary in the final. He was also a part of the New Zealand squads to finish as runners-up in two Cricket World Cup finals in 2015 and 2019.

In February 2020, Taylor played his 100th Test match for New Zealand, becoming the first cricketer to play in 100 matches in all three formats of international cricket. In December 2020, in the first Test against Pakistan, Taylor became the most-capped player for New Zealand in international cricket, playing in his 438th match across all three formats, surpassing Daniel Vettori; in December 2021, he announced that he would retire from international cricket after the one-day series against Australia and the Netherlands in early 2022. On 4 April 2022, Taylor played in his 450th and final international match for New Zealand, his last match being an ODI against the Netherlands.

Personal life
Taylor was born on 8 March 1984 in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. He is the son of Neil Taylor and Naoupu Lote-Taylor. His father is originally from Masterton and his mother is a Samoan from Saluafata on the island of Upolu. He carries the hereditary Samoan language title of leaupepe from the village of Fasito'o Uta.

Taylor was introduced to cricket by his father, but also grew up playing kilikiti, the traditional Samoan variant of cricket. He was educated at Wairarapa College and Palmerston North Boys High School and was a hockey player before shifting his focus to cricket. Taylor married Victoria in 2011. They have three children.

Domestic and T20 franchise career
Taylor played domestically for Central Districts. He played under-17 and under-19 cricket for the side and Hawke Cup cricket for Manawatu, before making his senior debut in January 2003 in a State Shield one-day match against Canterbury. He made his first-class cricket debut against the same side later in the same month and placed his first Twenty20 cricket match in January 2006 in the inaugural New Zealand Twenty20 Competition. In the 2009–10 HRV Cup Final against Auckland, Taylor scored a match-winning 80 runs off 30 balls; he added 133 runs from 53 balls in a partnership with Kieran Noema-Barnett and hit Michael Bates for 27 runs in one over, including three consecutive sixes. In total Taylor hit eight sixes and five fours. In February 2021, during the 2020–21 Ford Trophy, Taylor played in his 300th List A match.

Taylor played club cricket in England during his early career. He played matches for MCC Young Cricketers between 2002 and 2004, including in the Second Eleven Trophy, and played club cricket for Norwich Wanderers in the Norfolk Cricket League in 2004. In 2009/10 he played for Vctoria in the Australian Big Bash competition before playing English county cricket for Durham in the 2010 Friends Provident T20 tournament, his most substantial contribution being 80 not out from only 33 balls, including three fours and nine sixes. In 2016 and 2017, he played for Sussex and for Nottinghamshire in 2018. He joined Middlesex for the 2019 Royal London One-day Cup competition.

Taylor was signed by Royal Challengers Bangalore for the 2008 Indian Premier League before moving to Rajasthan Royals in the 2011 league auction and in 2012 joined Delhi Daredevils for a season before being traded to Pune Warriors India for Ashish Nehra ahead of the 2013 season. He returned to play for Delhi in the 2014 season.

He played for Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel in the 2013 and 2014 editions of the Caribbean Premier League and for St Lucia Zouks in 2015. He returned to the league for the 2018 competition, playing for Jamaica Tallawahs before appearing for Guyana Amazon Warriors in the 2020 Caribbean Premier League.

International career
Taylor first played for the New Zealand under-19 side in January 2001. He played under-19 Test and One Day International matches and captained the side. He was a member of the New Zealand Cricket Academy and played for the New Zealand A side in 2003/04 and 2004/05.

International debut
Taylor made his full international debut for New Zealand on 1 March 2006, in a one-day match against the West Indies. He became the second male player of Samoan heritage to play for New Zealand after Murphy Su'a. He scored only 15 runs in the match.

Taylor is a clean striker of the ball, particularly any ball through leg side, and a useful off-break bowler. Taylor scored his maiden one day century in front of a delighted crowd in Napier, playing against Sri Lanka on 28 December 2006. The innings included 12 fours and 6 sixes. Unluckily for him, New Zealand were comprehensively beaten in that game, by a blistering knock by Sanath Jayasuriya. He also suffered dehydration and required a short hospital trip during the second innings. Taylor hit 84 against Australia in their opening game in the 2006–07 Commonwealth Bank Series, but lost the match at the end. He also established one of the most potent no.3-no.4 top order partnership with Kane Williamson since the latter made his debut.

Taylor scored his second century in his ODI career on 18 February 2007 against Australia. He scored 117, the 2nd highest score by a New Zealander against Australia at that time. He scored his maiden Test century in March 2008 at Hamilton in the first Test of the 2007–08 series against England and went on to be the leading run scorer for the series.

Taylor scored what was then a Test match career-best of 154* against England at Old Trafford in May 2008, a brilliant innings including 5 sixes and 17 fours. His third Test century, an innings of 151 runs off 204 balls, came against India at Napier in March 2009. His fourth Test century, in the next Test, was a 107 which delayed India's victory long enough to force a draw.

Captaincy
Taylor captained New Zealand for the first time in an ODI against Australia in Napier on 3 March 2010, when Daniel Vettori dropped out of the side less than 30 minutes before the start with a neck ache. Taylor top-scored with 70 and New Zealand won by two wickets with four balls to spare. Taylor was also awarded the Man of the Match and donated the $NZ 500 prize to the Lansdowne Cricket Club in Masterton.

Taylor has served as the national captain for all formats.

2011 World Cup
He made his then highest ODI score of 131* which came off 124 balls against Pakistan on 8 March 2011 at the ICC Cricket World Cup. His innings included seven sixes and eight fours and contributed to New Zealand making 127 runs in the final 9 overs of the game to reach the score of 301. With this century, Taylor became only the fourth batsman in history of the game that scored an ODI century in a birthday, after Vinod Kambli, Sachin Tendulkar, and Sanath Jayasuriya.

Late captaincy
In a match against Australia at Hamilton in March 2010, Taylor made the fastest Test century ever by a New Zealander, bringing up his hundred off only 81 balls. Taylor scored centuries in all three tests in the 2013/14 series against the West Indies. In the first Test, Taylor made his first Test match double-century and highest test score of unbeaten 217 in a composed and classy innings. Taylor's 12th ODI century against Pakistan at Dubai coincides with the 100th century for the Black Caps.

For his performances in the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons, he won the Sir Richard Hadlee Medal.

Australia 2015
The best Test innings of his life came during the second test of Trans-Tasman Trophy in 2015–16 season in Australia. He scored his second double hundred and became the highest score by a New Zealand batsman in away Tests and in Australian soil as well. With this feat, he also became the first Kiwi batsman to score a Test double-hundred against Australia and the 2nd fastest among his countrymen to reach 5,000 Test career runs (in 120 innings). During the inning, his partnership with Kane Williamson of 265-run for the third wicket, which was New Zealand's highest of all time against Australia for any wicket. Taylor was dismissed for 290 runs with 43 fours.

In December 2016, after the Test against Pakistan at Hamilton, Taylor underwent surgery to remove a pterygium on his left eye. He was out of action for several weeks, thus missing the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series in Australia.

South Africa 2017
Taylor scored his 17th ODI century during the second ODI against South Africa at Hagley Oval. With this, he became the highest ODI century maker for New Zealand, beating 16 ODI centuries by Nathan Astle. In this match, Taylor also became New Zealand's quickest batsman to reach 6000 runs in ODI as well. New Zealand finally won the match by 6 runs. Ross Taylor also became only the sixth player in ODI history to score centuries against all test playing nations and first from New Zealand.

England 2018
Taylor scored a century in first ODI against England in a man of the match performance for his team and became the third New Zealander to score 7000 ODI runs. In the 4th ODI, he probably played the best innings of his career as he made an unbeaten 181 off 147 balls in a successful run chase of 336 runs. His 181* is the 2nd highest ODI score for a no.4 batsman as well 4th highest score for an individual while chasing. In that match, he also passed Nathan Astle to become New Zealand's second top scorer in ODIs. Although, New Zealand lost the series, he was the top run getter with 304 runs in that 5-match series.

2019
On 28 January 2019, Taylor became the third New Zealand batsman to complete 1000 runs in ODIs against India, he achieved this feat when he was batting on 14* and went on to score 93 (106).

In April 2019, he was named in New Zealand's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup. On 5 June 2019, in New Zealand's match against Bangladesh, Taylor played in his 400th international match for New Zealand in which he scored a match-winning 82. He also became the 2nd batsman to score 8000 ODI runs for New Zealand, after Stephen Fleming, as well as outscoring him in the same match to become New Zealand's top scorer in ODIs. He followed it with 48 off 52 against Afghanistan in another successful run-chase.

In the game against West Indies, he provided stability scoring 69 after his team had lost both of the openers in the first over itself. He scored runs of 30 and 28 in losses against Australia and England, respectively. In the tournament's first semi-final, he top scored for New Zealand with 74 runs as they reached the World Cup final for second consecutive time. He could only make 15 runs, before being wrongly given LBW off Mark Wood's bowling, in the final as New Zealand lost it on boundary count.

2020 Home summer and retirement
During India's tour of New Zealand he scored 2 half-centuries in T20I series, in the 1st T20I he scored 54 off 27 and in 5th T20I he scored 53 off 47. During the same tour he also scored a century and half-century in the ODI series, in the 1st ODI he scored 109* off 84 and awarded Man of the Match and in 2nd ODI he scored 73* off 74 for his performance he was awarded Man of the Series.

On 21 February 2020, Taylor became the first player ever to play 100 matches in each format of the game T20I, ODI and Tests during the first Test match against India, and became the fourth New Zealand player to play 100 Test matches after Stephen Fleming, Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum and 66th overall.

In his 100th Test, Taylor scored 44 off 71 in the first innings and did not bat in the second innings. New Zealand won the match by 10 wickets which marked 100 Test victories for them.

On 30 December 2021, Taylor announced his retirement from international cricket at the end of the 2021/22 summer, with his final Test series being against Bangladesh, and last ODIs against the Netherlands and Australia.

In the 2022 Queen's Birthday and Platinum Jubilee Honours, Taylor was appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to cricket and Pacific communities.

International centuries
Taylor has scored 40 centuries in international cricket, 19 in Tests and 21 in ODIs.

Autobiography
In his autobiography published in 2022, titled Ross Taylor: Black & White, he revealed that he faced racism within New Zealand Cricket, as some players and officials made comments about his ethnicity. Belonging to Samoan heritage, Taylor stated that he experienced racism during his international career with the New Zealand Cricket Team. He also mentioned being slapped by an owner of the Rajasthan Royals for getting dismissed for a duck during the 2011 Indian Premier League.

The radius of Saturn? What does that mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.252.64.16 (talk) 13:05, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * So I take it you weren't the one who added that line in the first place.

 * Whoever did, if they want to re-add it, they have to explain what unit of measurement they are using and whether or not they are including the rings in the measurement. The same goes for middle C. PrimeFan 21:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Why is 1024 used for measuring byte increment systems (kilobyte, megabyte, etc.)? Is there something that makes this number simpler than 1000, or is there a deep meaning behind it, or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qhiiyr (talk • contribs) 03:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * 1024 is simpler for computers to use, because to them it is 10000000000 (binary, one bit set to on followed by ten bits set to off). 1000 is simpler to us humans. PrimeFan 19:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Pointless Fact
I've removed this entry, as I don't see its significance.

1024 equally sized parcels of land can be divided from 1 square mile, or 640 acres. This is achieved through 4^5. Each lot will represent 5/8 acres or 27,225 SF of area.

Surely any sized piece of land can be divided into 1024 sections. Also, "This is achieved through 4^5" is not good English, like what I write. Rojomoke 10:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Question about graphics vs. Unicode
This may be more of a general question rather than specific to this page, but why are graphics used for, eg, the greater-than-or-equal-to sign - rather than the unicode equivalent "≥"? Is it legacy reasons, and if so, is it appropriate to replace the images with text? Pgl (talk) 11:44, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Cleaning of "Special use in computers" section required!
Line 1: Any examples of this being a commonly used? Line 2: Incorrect - the maximum value is 1023 (assuming all off is 0) Line 4: 1024x768 is not that common any more (as indicated by the linked article) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.67.3.25 (talk) 12:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Group Theory
There is a result in group theory that 99% of all groups with order less than 2000 have order 1024. This seems like a very profound result, but unfortunately I am not sufficiently familiar with the classification of finite groups to elaborate. Perhaps it should just be mentioned and then hyperlinked to this page. Kreizhn (talk) 18:44, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm putting it in. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 12:11, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Number of groups of order 1024
This page (2021) states that there are 49487367289 groups of order 1024. Should the number 49487365422 in the page be corrected? See also this Math Stack Exchange question. 129.104.240.174 (talk) 00:26, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Yes, good spot. I have also corrected the occurrence of this number on List of small groups. I have kept mention of the old number since it is still in circulation (e.g. Wolfram Alpha, and presumably Mathematica, currently still give FiniteGroupCount[1024]=49487365422).

List of M*A*S*H novels

The M*A*S*H book series includes the original novel that inspired the movie and then the TV series. The first, MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors, was co-authored by H. Richard Hornberger (himself a former military surgeon) and W. C. Heinz (a former World War II war correspondent); it was published in 1968 under the pen name Richard Hooker. It told the story of a U.S. Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Korea during the Korean War. In 1972, Hornberger (writing again as Hooker) published the sequel M*A*S*H Goes to Maine, covering the lives of the surgeons after they returned home from the war.

After the success of the M*A*S*H TV series, a long series of "M*A*S*H Goes to ______" novels appeared, beginning with M*A*S*H Goes to New Orleans in 1974. Although credited to Hooker and William E. Butterworth, they were essentially written by Butterworth alone. The sequel novels added many additional characters, mostly satiric caricatures of public figures from the 1970s: for instance, operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti is parodied in the form of a singer named "Korsky-Rimsakov", and news anchor Dan Rather becomes the egotistical "Don Rhotten". The tone of the Butterworth novels is also markedly different from Hooker's original books, being much more broadly comical, less darkly satirical, and unrealistic.

After the conclusion of the "Butterworth" series with M*A*S*H Goes to Montreal (1977), a final "Hooker" novel was published, M*A*S*H Mania, which ignored the events and inconsistencies of the intervening novels and picked up where M*A*S*H Goes to Maine left off, depicting the original characters in middle age.

S.C.A.R.S. (video game)

S.C.A.R.S. (standing for Super Computer Animal Racing Simulator, although unmentioned) is a racing video game developed by Vivid Image and published by Ubi Soft for PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and Microsoft Windows in 1998.

Development
While working on the various ports of Street Racer, Vivid Image and Ubi Soft decided it would be a good idea to create a 3D racing game specifically for the next-gen consoles. Mev Dinc, who headed Vivid Image, developed a concept of cars based on wildcats and other animals, with tracks that reflected their natural habitats. Ubi Soft loved the idea, and provided some of their own graphics and sound design resources to help fill the otherwise strained team. Originally, the game was going to be called Vivid Racing. After some iterations, they instead decided on S.C.A.R.S. As development progressed, the coders struggled with balancing the high level of detail and performance with the space limitations of the tracks. Courses needed to be shortened, and as a result, many of the technical turns and obstacles were condensed, creating a much more challenging experience than they had originally planned.

Reception
The game received above average reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Next Generation said of the PlayStation version in its December 1998 issue, "For all its faults, S.C.A.R.S. isn't terrible, and it is one of the few PlayStation games to allow four players to race in 3D on a split screen. If you have a Multitap, this is almost a worthy purchase. Without a Multitap, it's a colorful racer, but not much else." Two issues later, however, the magazine said of the Nintendo 64 version, "One of the best of the Mario Kart clones, S.C.A.R.S. does nearly everything right, surpassing both the graphics and the control of the PlayStation version. The game is challenging and addicting without ever annoying the player to the point of frustration. It supports up to four players via split screen and is a great way to kill time with friends."

Dr. Zombie of GamePro said of the PlayStation version in its November 1998 issue, "You shouldn't pass up S.C.A.R.S [sic] as just another kiddie Mario Kart-style racer – by taking a look under this hood, you'll find a lot of fun action." One issue later, he said of the Nintendo 64 version, "Mario Kart fans will find S.C.A.R.S [sic] similar but with a much harder edge. The game's action is fast and furious with enough variety in its tracks and weapons to warrant replay." Joel Strauch called the PC version "an easy-to-pick-up game that the kids'll love and adults will tolerate. It's missing the best part of Mario Kart-esque games—the battle mode—but you can't beat the price."

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/New Zealand national cricket captains

New Zealand national cricket captains
I nominated this before. As you can see it failed because there were too many redlinks (Featured list candidates/New Zealand national cricket captains/Archive1). Others and I have now written articles so there are no longer redlinks, so I'd like to renominate it, SmokeDog 13:10, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Object, needs a few more pictures. Phoenix2 17:57, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with Phoenix2. A picture of a match in progress or something of that nature would make the top much more visually appealing. Meelar (talk) 19:02, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * The featured list criteria do not require a picture, and many featured lists and other candidates (eg look at the ones on elements) do not have a picture. It seems unfair to single this one out. I'm not sure what a match in progress would do - it's unlikely to give an indication of what any New Zealand captain looks like, SmokeDog 07:58, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The criteria are only minimum requirements. While a list could be promoted without images, they are strongly preferred. How 'bout pictures of some of the captains? Another suggestion, could the lead be expanded to give more context to the list and better explain its subjects. For instance: what is a national cricket captain? (I honestly don't know. Do they hold a certain position, or just some kind of authority or what?). --Dmcdevit·t 08:22, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment The title should appear bolded somewhere in the first paragrah. And I agree with the others that a couple of more pictures would really improve the article. --Sophitus 02:04, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * I've added another picci and put the title in bold in the introduction. There's a real difficulty in getting non-copyright pics though - no doubt they will be added as and when pics become available, jguk 20:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for making those changes. I'm almost ready to support, but I have one more concern.  Since I know very little about cricket, I was wondering how important captains are considered in the sport.  Are they mostly ceremonial like in baseball or do they have a very important leadership role as in ice hockey?  Are there any other aspects of captainship that should be mentioned in the article? --Sophitus 20:45, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support since most of my concerns have been addressed --Sophitus 17:56, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * It is a very important role. I'm speculating but I think its the only sport where the captain's acumen can win the game. When he's playing on the field he cannot directly consult the coach for ideas. Add to that the country's media baying for the captain's head each time a series is lost.

Zuid Haffel

Zuid Haffel (South Haffel) is a polder and hamlet in the northwest of the Netherlands. It is located on the island of Texel, North Holland. Texel is also the municipality of the place.

Zuid Haffel is one of the oldest polders on the island of Texel. Around the end of the 13th century, the area was surrounded by dykes. In 1350, Jan van Henegouwen gave his permission to create a dyke between Tjarkshorn and the Lyorts road. These names are of Frisian origin. The areas to be drained were already part of the polder Zuid Haffel. Around 1500, the municipality was named Zuidhaffelt.

The road running through the municipality was named Burenweg (neighbor's road) and later Zuidhaffelderweg. Nearby is a farm named Zuidhaffel, which lies on de Waterweg, built in the 16th century. This state monument was intended to be turned into a museum, but this plan was dropped. Instead, in 1969, the farm was restored.

The hamlet has no place name signs, and is considered part of Den Burg. In 1840, it was home to 69 people. Nowadays, it consists of about 20 houses.

Sonamos Pese A Todo

Sonamos Pese A Todo, the debut album of Les Luthiers, released in September, 1971. It was recorded in late 1970 at ION Studios in Buenos Aires, and it featured Les Luthiers as a quintet, with some guest musicians and an orchestra for some numbers. The album was done before they collectively credited their works to everybody in the group, so individual authorship is included. Ernesto Acher wasn't a member of Les Luthiers when they recorded the project, but he was instrumental in getting the album released.

Side one

 * 1) "Presentación" (text: Marcos Mundstock)
 * 2) "El alegre cazador que vuelve a su casa con un fuerte dolor acá" (music: Gerardo Masana)
 * 3) "Conozca el interior" (lyrics: Marcos Mundstock; music: Gerardo Masana)
 * 4) "El polen ya se esparce por el aire" (lyrics: Marcos Mundstock; music: Gerardo Masana)
 * 5) "Cantata de la planificación familiar" (lyrics & music: Carlos Núñez Cortés)
 * 6) "Concerto grosso alla rústica" (music: Carlos Núñez Cortés)

Side two

 * 1) "Quinteto de vientos" (music: Gerardo Masana)
 * 2) "Oi Gadóñaya" (music: traditional; lyrics: Marcos Mundstock; choral arrangement: Carlos Núñez Cortés)
 * 3) "Epopeya de Edipo de Tebas" (lyrics: Marcos Mundstock; music: Carlos Núñez Cortés)
 * 4) "Candonga de los colectiveros" (lyrics: Marcos Mundstock; music: Jorge Maronna)
 * 5) "Teorema de Thales" (lyrics & music: Carlos Núñez Cortés)
 * 6) "Gloria Hosanna, that's the question" (lyrics & music: Carlos Núñez Cortés)

With exception of 'Concerto Grosso...' and 'Presentación', all the numbers had been performed by Les Luthiers long before the recordings took place. Carlos Núñez Cortés acted as musical conductor and Marcos Mundstock wrote all the introductory texts. Carlos López Puccio (who would be later a member of the group) was a guest musician on this record.

Round-the-world ticket

A round-the-world ticket (also known as round-the-world fare or RTW ticket) is a product that enables a traveller to circumnavigate the world on a single itinerary. RTW tickets in the past were generally offered through marketing agreements between airlines on several continents. Now, they are generally offered by airline alliances such as SkyTeam, Star Alliance and Oneworld, or by specialist travel agencies that will plan a custom trip for the consumer. Prices vary but are generally in the range of US$2,500–6,000 for an economy class ticket and US$5,000–14,000 for business class. An alternative for a round-the-world ticket is a continent pass.

Structure
Round-the-world tickets are priced according to travel class, origin of travel, number of continents, mileage (usually between 30,000 and 60,000 km), and sometimes season of travel. The traveller benefits from the large and optimized network of the airline alliance and can often participate in the alliance's frequent flyer programs, although round-the-world tickets are usually subject to restrictions. The start and end of the journey almost always have to be located in the same country and exactly one crossing each of the Atlantic and Pacific must be included in the itinerary. The number of stops is usually restricted to 5–16 and backtracking between continents (especially Europe/Asia) is often restricted. The dates and journey do not have to be planned but may be changed en route at a local office of any airline in the alliance (although a change of destinations often results in an additional fee, and if the next flight is left open-dated the booking can be dropped by the airlines).

Specialist travel agencies
It is possible to piece together a round-the-world route by combining one-way tickets on various airlines without resorting to alliances. In addition, discounts often apply to some long- and short-haul legs. It can be useful to consult with travel agents who specialize in round-the-world itineraries to compare fares and itineraries. These can be found in major cities that are transit hubs — San Francisco, London, New York, Bangkok, etc. — and many of them also provide services online. The overall booking process can vary from a few days to weeks based upon itinerary, budget, and other considerations. Travel agents may get parts of tickets issued by contacts in other countries, and often use pre-arranged contractual agreements with various airlines. Low-cost carriers often only have tickets which do not include other airlines. It is important to have long waiting time between such flights, preferably a hotel night, which gives the chance to see one more city. Otherwise, a flight cancellation might destroy the entire itinerary.

Talk:New Series Adventures

Elveneth Doctor Novels
Will these be printed in April 2010 or September 2010. {Ucebaggie (talk) 19:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)}
 * I doubt there will be a set of novels in April because authors won't know what the character of the Eleventh Doctor will be like, so probably not until September for the first batch of Eleventh Doc novels... Speaking of Eleventh Doctor novels, I have gone ahead and added a sub-heading, hopefully I haven't been to hasty in trying to include it as a part of this page Darkglasses (talk) 01:22, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Jackson Lake
Will we have a Jackson Lake trip novel {Ucebaggie (talk) 17:20, 1 January 2009 (UTC)}

Decide your destiny
I don't think these should be included in this article. They're not really part of the New Series Adventures.

I know there were a lot of arguments about whether the tenth doctor counts as the same series as the ninth doctor adventures, and it was decided that they are because they're so similar. But the decide your own destiny books aren't similar at all, so why are they here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.67.223 (talk) 19:44, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

 * There's already an entry for "gamebooks" in the article Doctor Who merchandise (covering the 1980s Make Your Own Adventure books and the 1990s roleplaying rules). I could move Decide Your Destiny there, if no-one objects. Daibhid C (talk) 14:56, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Order of novels
Are the three books that have so far been released in any particular order? I'd like to know before I read them --Jawr256 13:12, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

No they are all free standing stories. Tim! (talk) 13:25, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, they are free standing, but from the gallifrean symbols (also used for the chapters) I think the order is:

 * 1) The Clockwise Man
 * 2) Winner Takes All
 * 3) The Monsters Inside

(as it is on this page). --bjwebb 15:42, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I've just looked at the symbols and its:

(this order is also shown on the page between the two title pages at the front of each book) Jawr256 16:12, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) The Clockwise Man
 * 2) The Monsters Inside
 * 3) Winner Takes All

 * I've rearranged the page accordingly --Jawr256 18:04, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Whoops! --bjwebb 17:57, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The order of the NDAS between the two title pages is different in each of the booksTim! (talk) 07:45, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, but from between the two title pages you see that:

 * The Clockwise Man is before The Monsters Inside;
 * The Clockwise Man is before Winner Takes All;
 * The Monsters Inside is before  Winner Takes All.
 * Jawr256 08:46, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Another reason for The Monsters Inside being before Winner Takes All os that Justicia is Rose's first time on another planet, yet in Winner Takes All she goes to the Quivvells' planet --Jawr256 07:35, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Only away from Earth
Isn't this line from the Monsters Inside summary wrong:

is the only known Ninth Doctor adventure (televised or literary) that takes place away from Earth.

What about the Queevils planet? --βjweþþ (talk) 19:15, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

We also hear of the Doctor's visit to The Woman Weeps planet, which Rose mentions in Boomtown.

By the way, I don't know how to edit this, but the link to Stephen Cole goes to the wrong Stephen Cole. The one who works on Doctor Who books is not the TV presenter.

Justicia isn't the first reference
In World War Three, Jackie says that "since the Doctor walked into our lives, I've been attacked in the street...I've had monsters..." - could this refer to Darren beating her up in WInner takes all?--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 16:52, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Or it could simply refer to her being attacked at the end of Aliens of London. I've added the word "explicit" to the sentence to qualify it. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:47, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

If she was attacked at the end of Aliens of London, she's pretty unlikely to describe that as being attacked in the street since she was in her kitchen. But I wouldn't want to interfere with Wikipedia: it's not a community encylopedia which anyone can edit, after all.--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 07:34, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I know this is an old topic, but I just wanted to point out she was attacked in the street by Autons in Rose Bartender2347 (talk) 23:52, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Print runs question
A user deleted the statement that the initial print runs were sold out for the books on the grounds that it was an unfounded statement. I know the CBC's official Doctor Who page stated this, and I believe it was also posted to Outpost Gallifrey. Is there a source that indicates they were not sold out? 23skidoo 16:51, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Tenth Doctor Adventures
The 9th and 10th Doctor books have the same style, format and, indeed, authors. It seems to me simpler to describe them all under one article. The changes between the three waves of releases simply reflect changes in the TV series (first three with just Rose, Captain Jack joins for the second three, Doctor regenerated for the third three). Bondegezou 12:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree, since the books are being considered a separate line and there may be future Ninth Doctor novels published. 23skidoo 12:42, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Some fans consider the books to be a separate line, but BBC Books don't. As far as I can see, BBC Books are treating them exactly the same. There may be future 9th Doctor novels published, but there are no such plans currently announced and, well, anything could happen in the future. Bondegezou 15:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I think a merge is probably a reasonable idea, but I'm not sure what the combined article should be called. Outpost Gallifrey refers to "New Series Adventures", but that's not specific enough for a Wikipedia article.  Does anybody know how the BBC refer to the line? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I strongly disagree with this. Read it carefully: Tenth Doctor; Ninth Doctor. Even if the BBC doesn't regard them as diferent lines, it would confuse readers to have them on the same page. A disambiguation maybe, but not a merger. Besides, what would we call it? --Ω 19:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The novelisations feature more than one Doctor and their Wikipedia coverage is not split by Doctor. The New Adventures featured more than one Doctor and their Wikipedia coverage is not split by Doctor. The 9th and 10th Doctor books are clearly part of the same series of books: the publisher and the bookshops don't treat them as being separate entities, so why should Wikipedia? I don't see why readers would be confused. What would we call them? What about "Doctor Who New Series Adventures" with redirects from "New Series Adventures", "Ninth Doctor Adventures", "Tenth Doctor Adventures" and any individual novel titles where the novel doesn't have an entry of its own. Bondegezou 15:58, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Not exactly true. We differentiate between the Virgin New Adventures (Seventh Doctor) and the Virgin Missing Adventures (past Doctors) in the same way that when the BBC book series started, the Eighth Doctor stories were dubbed the EDAs and the past doctor books the PDAs by fans even though the covers were the same. This is the use we see generally in Doctor Who fandom, up to and including licensed magazines like Doctor Who Magazine. I hasten to point out that this usage (unlike say, certain serial naming conventions) is in no way contested in fandom. In the same way, the fans have taken to calling the Ninth Doctor books NDAs and presumably the Tenth Doctor books will go the same way. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 16:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * We differentiate between the New Adventures and the Missing Adventures because Virgin differentiated between them and they had different packaging etc. We don't differentiate between the 7th Doctor NAs and the one 8th Doctor NA; and we don't differentiate between the MAs by Doctor. The NA/MA distinction was carried over to the BBC Books even though BBC Books made less distinction between the ranges. Still, there are enough differences to justify the 8DA/PDA distinction (one was an ongoing series, one wasn't; BBC Books did have different commissioning policies for the two ranges at times). I don't see any differences between the 9th and 10th Doctor books except the Doctor's incarnation: the branding/marketing is identical, the commissioning policy seems identical, they have the same relationship to the TV series. Common usage in fan discussion seems to be shifting from talking about "NDAs" to talking about "NSAs" (new series adventures). We don't have separate entries for the 9th Doctor TV stories as a unit vs. the 10th Doctor TV series as a unit vs. the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. Doctor TV stories as a unit. Rather, we divide the stories by season/production block. Bondegezou 11:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm ultimately with Tim on this with a wait and see approach. I don't see a common enough use of the term NSA (yet) to justify altering the status quo. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 12:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Whatever happened to the term "New Doctor Adventures"? I thought that was the umbrella series that all of the Nine and Ten releases went under. Likewise I thought that's what "NDA" stood for.
 * Hopefully if David Tennant stays more than one season, then there could be a lengthy range of novels featuring the 10th Doctor. I say let's stick with the status quo and see what happens Tim! (talk) 22:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I concur. Let's at least wait and see if BBC Books decides to publish any further Ninth Doctor books. I wouldn't expect to see any for awhile, however, as the BBC will probably want to have as little distraction as possible while trying to establish the Tenth Doctor to an audience that has fallen out of the habit of seeing Doctors regenerate. 23skidoo 04:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * While we're at it, let's merge all the other '________th Doctor Adventures' threads, too. I strongly disagree. It's a whole seperate Doctor. Don't you think the fact that the Tenth Doctor thread is small because he's only been the Doctor for a few months? And we've only seen him on screen for about 40 minutes? No, we should keep the articles seperate, and wait for the Tenth to grow, as it inevitably will.
 * I think that the reasoning was not that the Tenth Doctor novels were too few, but that they will come to be too many. If in three years we have 18 Tenth Doctor novels and 6 Ninth Doctor novels, the Ninth Doctor series may begin to look like a stubby prequel to the Tenth Doctor series.  That said, I agree with those who say that we should wait and see what the line(s) look like later, and what fan consensus emerges. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:37, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * My main reasoning is that the BBC, BBC Books and the retailers make no distinction between the 9th and 10th Doctor books. Their only difference is the incarnation of the Doctor. This is unlike the situation with the New and Missing Adventures, for example. All the other distinctions made between Dr Who books on Wikipedia are on the basis of how they are produced/presented/marketed, not on the incarnation of the Doctor featured: e.g. The Dying Days is a New Adventure, not an 8th Doctor Adventure despite featuring the 8th Doctor. Bondegezou 16:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't feel strongly about this, but just as a datapoint, both the Doctor Who Guide website and the Discontinuity Guide on the Whoniverse website lump them together as "New Series Books" use the term "New Series Books", although admittedly neither site has added the books featuring the Tenth Doctor yet. Daibhid C 19:03, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The Dr Who Guide has now. Bondegezou 09:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Fixed the broken link to the discontinuity guide in someone's post above. Oh, and the Discontinuity Guide will be adding the 10th Doctor NSAs - and counting them as NSAs - as soon as I've caught up with the new series itself. The reasoning behind using NSAs rather than NDAs/TDAs is that it's far too much hassle to count them as two seperate lines when they're intended as a single line and when there are only six 9th Doctor novels anyway. Oh, and it'll get very confusing if we end up using "EDAs" for whoever follows David Tennant. For my money, it's only a matter of time before fandom predominantly refers to them as a single line, so I'd say that the two articles will need to be merged eventually - but I'm with Khaosworks in the "wait and see" camp. Bouncelot 19:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

This discussion has re-started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who. Bondegezou 16:57, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Justicia reference
"the 2005 series episode Boom Town makes a reference to the Doctor and Rose's trip to the Justicia system."

There is? When was "Monsters Inside" referenced in Boom Town? PaulHammond 23:16, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

 * A very brief line of dialogue from Rose: "It's all very well, going to Platform One and Justicia and the Glass Pyramid of San Kaloon, but what if we end up in Brazil? I might need my passport. Y'see, I'm prepared for anything." (line as taken from the Shooting Scripts, but it's pretty much the same in the transmitted episode) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Gallifreyan numbers, revisited
I don't really want to reopen the merge debate, but it's probably worth noting that the recently released Tenth Doctor novels have the Gallifreyan numbers for 7–9 on the spines (the Ninth Doctor novels had 1–6). This would seem to indicate that BBC Books considers them all to be part of the same, consecutively numbered series. No biggie, just an observation. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:58, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Distribution
Should we add a section discussing the somewhat erratic distribution of these books outside the UK? The Ninth Doctor (and I believe the 10th Doctor) books were exclusively distributed by a company that normally distributes comic books, and the 9th Doctor books didn't start turning up in regular bookstores until a few months ago. I just tried to order I Am a Dalek through Amazon only to be told the book was not being made available to Amazon after all. Thoughts? 23skidoo 14:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

New Releases
In September 2006, three new books will be released:

 * 10: The Nightmare of Black Island
 * 11: The Art of Destruction
 * 12: The Price Of paradise.

Also, I have 2 questions.

1) how come the titles used to be so short (Only Human, The Stone Rose,) and now they've become so long?

2) Is there any news on new releases with Martha in them?

Thanks - --Fugabutacus 19:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

 * The September 2006 novels are noted on the episode page. I don't think the change in title length is significant: it's probably just a coincidence.  And really, there's not much difference in length between, say, The Price of Paradise and The Stealers of Dreams or The Feast of the Drowned.

 * As for novels with Martha, we haven't heard anything yet. Following the previous release pattern, I'd expect a batch of novels with the Tenth Doctor and Martha to be released next spring, early in the broadcast of Series 3, but that's just speculation on my part and doesn't belong in the article. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

April 2007
Amazon have released synopses for the new batch of books. These are as follows:

 * Sting of the Zygons
 * The Last Dodo (appears to recycle the "last museum" idea cancelled last year)
 * The Wooden Heart

Just in case anyone's interested.--Keycard (talk) 17:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll update the article now.--Rambutan (talk) 08:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Update: that's done, now, but the previous batch of three (Nightmare, Price and Art) don't have articles yet.--Rambutan (talk) 08:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I've added the ISBNs for the new books (cause I work in a bookshop). Pup date is 19th April UltimateNagash 14:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Stealers of Dreams
Although it's hard to fit into the continuity of the show, The Stealers of Dreams contains an explicit reference to the events of Boom Town (Rose phones her mum, who berates her daughter for going on an adventure in Cardiff with Mickey; the Doctor Who Reference Guide also supports this placement) so I made the correction accordingly in the text. 23skidoo 15:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Stub Status on Books
I have just started reading these books (and being in the US, finding some has been a bit of a challenge). Anyway, also being new to contributing, I'm wondering what an article needs to be no longer considered a "stub." For instance, of the first 6 books, "Only Human" seems to be detailed enough to perhaps qualify to have its "stub" status removed, while the other 5 are obviously too short. I've tried reading through some of the discussion on other (Doctor Who) pages, and left more confused than helped, so I might be missing something. Thanks! Gwydionmom 18:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree, Only Human is no longer a stub: I've removed the tag. Check out Stub, which explains what is and is not a stub. Enjoy contributing. Gwinva 16:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

The Stone Rose
I would like some feedback on 'The Stone Rose' entry. First off, could someone please go through and fix any "americanisms" that might have crept in (plus any other stupid grammar, spelling or punctuation problems). I looked at style guide on WP:WHO, and the Sample book article (Lungbarrow), but I really didn't like the fact that it didn't give a complete plot, just a "teaser summary." So I kinda followed the format for an episode instead (it seems like most of the book articles have more complete plots than what is shown in the sample). I'm thinking I might tackle most of the New Series Adventures (Doctor Who), but wanted to be sure what I was doing was OK before starting on any more (this is my first real attempt at a Wikipedia entry (thanks to Gwinva for the encouragement).

 * I'll look at it when I get a chance, but remember, my opinion is just one of many. Go with your instincts, and keep reading other pages and see what others are doing. As for length/detail of summary, opinion varies widely.  See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who for a discussion relating to episodes.  I guess it's striking the balance between something long enough to be interesting and serve as a reminder of the plot details, and not so long that there's no point reading the book. Any comments particular to The Stone Rose I'll leave on that talk page. Gwinva 10:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I reread the link, and then did some quick math. Looks like this particular book is roughly 50,000 words, so if the 5% figure is a sorta guideline, I'm a bit long at 2674 (2500 is 5%), but not by much. I guess I'll tackle another one and see how long that ends up and go from there. If anyone else has any thoughts on the matter, I'd love to hear them. Gwydionmom 23:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The Clockwise Man
I've added a plot for The Clockwise Man - have at it everyone! I think it's too long again, but I'm having trouble figuring out what else to remove. (I'm really impressed with how quickly The Stone Rose turned into a real entry once a plot was written out - people came in and added all sorts of interesting stuff.) Gwydionmom 03:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

The Feast of the Drowned
I added the plot for this book too. In reading, I wondered if there is enough "evidence" for placing it after Tooth and Claw. At one point in the book, the Doctor tells Rose that humans are "mostly water" and Rose says he's said that before, which reminded me of the scene at the end where she asks about moonlight being bad for the werewolf, and he tells her that she's "70% water and can still drown." I also wondered if it's worth noting the times that the Doctor tastes things or is rude? Or is that just too much detail? There's also a short discussion in the book about Rose's title (assistant, companion, etc?) which is similar to one in School Reunion - is that worth mentioning? Gwydionmom 16:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, it's got to be before School Reunion, because of Mickey's role in the story. I suppose it could be set anywhere between The Christmas Invasion and School Reunion — the post Tooth and Claw placement sounds likely, but the evidence is sketchy enough that I wouldn't change the infobox.  (Incidentally, is there anything in the novel to indicate that it's necessarily post-New Earth?  Remember, the TARDIS begins New Earth in a different location from where it ended in The Christmas Invasion — but I may be forgetting a line about hospitals or something in The Feast of the Drowned.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 23:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. Lots of ambulances in The Feast of the Drowned but in a quick re-look-through, I don't see anything on hospitals (or, actually, anything that makes it clearly post New Earth). Gwydionmom 20:31, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and one more thing - many of the books seem to mention the Doctor 'not sleeping' which I don't recall encountering anywhere else. Is it worth pointing this out when it's mentioned? Gwydionmom 19:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think so: the original series suggested a couple of times that the Doctor doesn't sleep (or rarely sleeps). For example, in The Talons of Weng-Chiang the Fourth Doctor says "Sleep is for tortoises."  The notion that the Doctor doesn't require sleep is frequently found in the other novel lines, so it's probably not worth mentioning in these. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 23:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I've not really read any of the other book series, so I hadn't encountered the idea before (I'm catching up on old series, guess that's something else to keep an ear open for). Thanks. Gwydionmom 20:31, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

The Monsters Inside
Added a plot, and split up some of the continuity info. Which brings up another question. I think the last continuity statement is misplaced (or something). It refers to the Doctor talking to Rose about the way the TARDIS travels, and I just don't find this conversation in the book. The TARDIS plays a very minor part in this story (very beginning, slight mention in the middle, and they leave at the end). Rose and the Doctor are separated for approximately 200 pages out of 253, so there wasn't much opportunity to have this discussion. Does anyone know where this might have come from? I hate to just delete it if it actually goes with a different book (moving it would be easier). Gwydionmom 15:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Winner Takes All
Added the plot, some continuity, and another pop culture reference. Gwydionmom 00:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

The Deviant Strain
I've added the plot, and a bit of continuity. Gwydionmom 15:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

The Resurrection Casket
Now has a plot, continuity, and a pop reference. Gwydionmom 01:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

The Stealers of Dreams
Plot, more continuity, and pop culture added - no more stubs for the 9th Doctor books! Gwydionmom 21:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Release Date
New Series Adventures gives the release date for the three September releases as the 6th of September, however the pages themselves state they will be released on the 9th of September. Would someone clear this up? -- Thelb 4 20:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Covers
Sting of the Zygons and Wooden Heart (Doctor Who) need covers adding to their articles, please.(Black Dalek 17:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)).

'Set between'
What's the source for these? At least one of them is completely incorrect as Sick Building includes a reference to The Family of Blood, yet the page states that it is set between 42 and Human Nature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.48.236 (talk) 18:52, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes I was thinking that. Since we have Doctor Who story chronology (which references the placements), I think we should remove them.  StuartDD ( t   •   c ) 14:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Canon
I have replaced an unsourced, POV statement regarding the canon of the novels. It's not traditional to view the books as non-canon; it's traditional to view them as being in a "grey area", thanks to the BBC not doing what Paramount did with Star Trek and declaring what is canon and what isn't. The statement also contradicted the content of the main article, which is linked here. Have any other NSA books been referenced since Boom Town? 68.146.41.232 (talk) 16:51, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, looks a lot better now. I don't know about any other tie-ins, as I haven't read the novels.   Stuart  DD  contributions 19:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

No Donna Noble novels?
Is it worth mentioning in the article the fact that, for some reason, the announced novels for 2008 do not feature the current companion, Donna Noble? I only just noticed this and at first I thought it might be an error, but at least one of the books based upon its title alone can be confirmed as a Martha novel. Anyone know why this might be the case? 68.146.41.232 (talk) 18:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Can someone make this edit for me? (mobile user)
Trying to edit the whole article would crash my phone, and this bit isn't in any section: In the part of the opening paragraph mentioning Gallifreyan numerals, could someone please add that the chapters are numbered in the same way, and that thirteen is always mis-represented with the Gallifreyan numeral for eleven? Anthrcer (click to talk to me) 05:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

January 2009 novels
Can't find a source other than Amazon but the three novels being released on January 9 2009 are as follows:

Beautiful Chaos by Gary Russell

"The Doctor and Donna battle an ancient force from the Dark Times - the latest in the bestselling Doctor Who fiction range from BBC Books. Donna Noble is back home in London, catching up with her family and generally giving them all the gossip about her journeys. Her grandfather is especially overjoyed - he's discovered a new star and had it named after him. He takes the Doctor, as his special guest, to the naming ceremony. But the Doctor is suspicious about some of the other changes he can see in Earth's heavens. Particularly that bright star, right there. No not that one, that one, there, on the left... The world's population is slowly being converted to a new path, a new way of thinking. Something is coming to Earth, an ancient force from the Dark Times. Something powerful, angry, and all-consuming... Featuring the Doctor and Donna as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit series from BBC Television."

The Eyeless by Lance Parkin

"In the latest of the bestselling Doctor Who novels, the Doctor battles a mysterious weapon on a barren, war-torn planet - and this time he's all on his own. At the heart of the ruined city of Arcopolis is the Fortress. It's a brutal structure placed here by one of the sides in a devastating intergalactic war that's long ended. Fifteen years ago, the entire population of the planet was killed in an instant by the weapon housed deep in the heart of the Fortress. Now only the ghosts remain. The Doctor arrives, and determines to fight his way past the Fortress's automatic defences and put the weapon beyond use. But he soon discovers he's not the only person in Arcopolis. What is the true nature of the weapon? Is the planet really haunted? Who are the Eyeless? And what will happen if they get to the weapon before the Doctor? The Doctor has a fight on his hands. And this time he's all on his own. Featuring the Doctor as played by David Tennant in the hit series from BBC Television."

The Story Of Martha by Dan Abnett

"The full story of Martha Jones' 'lost year' helping defeat the Master - the latest in the bestselling Doctor Who Fiction range from BBC Books. For a year, while the Master ruled over Earth, Martha Jones travelled the world telling people stories about the Doctor. She told people of how the Doctor has saved them before, and how he will save them again. This is that story. It tells of Martha's travels from her arrival on Earth as the Toclafane attacked and decimated the population through to her return to Britain to face the Master. It tells how she spread the word and told people about the Doctor. The story of how she survived that terrible year. But it's more than that. This is also a collection of the stories she tells - the stories of adventures she had with the Doctor that we haven't heard about before. The stories that inspired and saved the world... Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television."

Until we find a more impeccable source. Not that I doubt it for a moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clockwork Apricot (talk • contribs) 01:28, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

They are the December Boxing Day releases, not January and a number of Doctor Who websites have confirmed them... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.254.115.65 (talk) 00:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The Story of Martha doesn't mention Donna in it's sypnosis, so I removed her from that entry in the book list. Digifiend (talk) 11:24, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I'm proposing the Decide Your Destiny article be merged here because of duplication. Duggy 1138 (talk) 08:27, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Darksmith Legacy
Will the new series of Doctor Who books, called 'The Darksmith Legacy', be added to this page instead of creating a new individual page for them? The first in the series is called 'The Dust of Ages' and is written by Justin Richards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.254.115.33 (talk) 23:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Base-7...
"'In 'Doctor Who Files: The Doctor', there is a section on Gallifreyan numbers. The book illustrates a Base-7 number system instead of decimal or Base-10 system. For example on the novel The Price of Paradise, the number on the spine can be translated to 000015 in Base-7 or in decimal it is Book 12. Inside the books, chapters are numbered in the same way, with the thirteenth chapter carrying the same image as the eleventh.'"

I understand everything except the final sentence: why does the thirteenth chapter carry the same image as the eleventh? Am I missing something in the wording? This might be a good place for some sample illustrations, as while I understand the logic of Base-7, that final bit of information, though intriguing, seems a bit opaque.

G. 117.92.146.129 (talk) 16:20, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Split for 11th doctor novels
I think that all the 11th Doctor novels should have their own new articale. They don't seem to count as part of the 'New Series Adventures'. Besides the logo, the Gallifreyan numbering system has stopped and has been replaced with the DW TARDIS 'Insignia' for all three of the books released so far. And the books are a different size and shape.

And i don't know weither this is worth a mention, but i got Apollo 23, The Forgotton Army and Night of the Humans on 20 April 2010 in Waterstone's in a 2 for 3 offer. 20 April 2010 is two days before it's official release. --213.83.125.225 (talk) 12:44, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Move to New Series Adventures
New Series Adventures redirects here, so what's the point of having "Doctor Who" in brackets? There don't appear to be any other articles entitled New Series Adventures.--Codenamecuckoo (talk) 08:35, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well this has been unchallenged for seven months, so I'm going to go ahead and move it.--Codenamecuckoo (talk) 20:02, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Judgement of the Judoon
I don't know how to edit the page but Rok Ma (the Judoon Commander) should be listed as a companion for this book along with Nikki Jupiter. He's definately an ally and actually spends alot more time physically with the doctor than Nikki does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.45.112.118 (talk) 01:08, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Cancelled novels
Can someone check the reference given for the "cancelled" Mike Tucker novel and reference properly? Don't read DWM, but the Gary Russell one was apparently fabricated.

JonStrines (talk) 22:43, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Tales of Trenzalore? War Doctor?
There was an ebook that will soon be a print publication set during Time of the Doctor that features Eleven and yet is nowhere to be found on this page. Also there's an upcoming War Doctor book that should definitely be featured here. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.79.55.67 (talk) 17:14, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

List of New Series Adventures - Doctor(s) in The Knight, The Fool and The Dead
In the list of New Series Adventures The Knight, The Fool and The Dead has under the Doctor listing "Eighth, Ninth Tenth". While all do appear in the novel, the Eighth Doctor and the Ninth Doctor only turn up, effectively in cameos, at the very end of the novel in the cliff-hanger which leads into the next book - All Flesh is Grass. The primary Doctor in The Knight, The Fool and The Dead is the Tenth Doctor and if I recall correctly it was marketed as a Tenth Doctor story in the promotional material for the Time Lord Victorious event. In contrast in All Flesh is Grass all three Doctors are the main characters. Related to this At Childhood's End is listed here as a Thirteenth Doctor story, but it includes multiple sections set in the past featuring the  Seventh Doctor. Given this, I think The Knight, The Fool and The Dead should just be listed as the Tenth Doctor as it is primarily a Tenth Doctor story, though perhaps a note could be added that other Doctors make appearances (and something similar for At Childhood's End). Dunarc (talk) 21:11, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Past Doctor Adventures has footnotes for the stories with multiple Doctors to clarify so that might also be an option here. Dunarc (talk) 23:45, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Place for books not part of the New Series Adventures?
Since BBC Books stopped releasing regular additions to the New Series Adventures range, we've seen a lot of novels that don't have a place on a page (unless I'm mistaken, in which case please let me know). Whilst I understand there is an argument for the contrary, I don't believe books such as The Secret In Vault Thirteen (2018), The Maze of Doom (2020), At Childhood's End (2020), The Knight, The Fool and The Dead (2020), All Flesh is Grass (2020) and The Ruby's Curse (2021) should be considered part of the New Series Adventures as 1) they are all one-off special releases and not part of a series, 2) they were not published by BBC Books, they were published by BBC Children's Books (although I do recognise this is a very small difference). Furthermore, more recent releases, such as some of the 'Puffin Classics Crossover' series and the 'Decades Collection' novels are not included on the list, and I don't believe they should be. They need their own space elsewhere. In conclusion, the Wikipedia page for the New Series Adventures defines the series as books that are "published by BBC Books, and are regularly published twice a year". Since this series is no longer running, I propose a new page is created for Doctor Who books published post-2005 that do not fit into this series. I want to get other peoples thoughts first, however, on how this should be done, or in deed whether it should be done at all. Thanks! Whoniverse (talk) 04:17, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Philip C. Habib

Philip Charles Habib (February 25, 1920 – May 25, 1992) was an American career diplomat active from 1949 to 1987.

During his 30-year career as a Foreign Service Officer, he had mostly specialized in Asia. In 1968, he was working to prevent the escalation of U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

Habib later became known for his work as Ronald Reagan's special envoy to the Middle East from 1981 to 1983. In that role, he negotiated numerous cease-fire agreements between the various parties involved in the Lebanese Civil War.

He came out of retirement to take two assignments as U.S. special envoy; one to the Philippines in 1986, and another to Central America in 1986–87. In the latter assignment, he helped Costa Rican president Oscar Arias propose a peace plan to end the region's civil wars.

Habib was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1982—the highest official honor given to a U.S. citizen by the U.S. government.

Early life and education
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Habib was the son of Lebanese Maronite Catholic parents and was raised in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood of the Bensonhurst section. His father ran a grocery store. Habib graduated from New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn and worked as a shipping clerk before starting his undergraduate study in forestry at the University of Idaho. Habib remained connected to the University of Idaho throughout his life. He co-chaired the university's centennial fund-raising campaign several years earlier, as well as several class reunions.

After graduating in 1942 from the UI's College of Forestry (now Natural Resources), he served in the U.S. Army during World War II and attained the rank of captain. Discharged from the service in 1946, Habib continued his education via the G.I. Bill in a doctoral program in agricultural economics at the University of California in Berkeley, and earned a Ph.D. in 1952.

In 1947, recruiters for the United States Foreign Service visited the Berkeley campus. They were particularly interested in candidates who did not fit the then-current mold of Ivy League blueblood WASPs. Habib says he had never given diplomacy a moment's thought, and that he just enjoyed taking tests for intellectual challenge. He took the Foreign Service exam and scored in the top 10% nationally.

Foreign service career
Beginning in 1949, his foreign service career took him to Canada, New Zealand, South Korea (twice), and South Vietnam. He held the position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs from 1967–1969 and was chief of staff for the U.S. delegation to the Paris Peace Talks from 1968 to 1971. In 1969, he was given the Rockefeller Public Service Award and the National Civil Service League's Career Service Award in 1970. Habib acquired increasingly important posts, serving as Ambassador to South Korea (1971–1974), Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs (1974–1976), and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs (1976–1978). He was also the one time president of the American Foreign Service Association.

When South Korean opposition leader Kim Dae-jung was kidnapped in 1973 while Habib was U.S. ambassador to South Korea, Habib credits his intervention for saving Kim's life, a sentiment shared by William H. Gleysteen. Kim later became the first opposition leader in South Korea to become president and also won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000 for his reconciliation efforts with North Korea.

Habib served as Acting Secretary of State in January 1977. He was presented the Distinguished Honor Award by Secretary Henry Kissinger for his "important role in the development of American foreign policy and furthering the county's interests overseas."

In 1978, a massive heart attack forced Habib to resign as Under Secretary, the top post possible for a career Foreign Service Officer. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan called him out of retirement to serve as special envoy to the Middle East. Habib oversaw the negotiations of a peace deal that allowed the PLO to evacuate from the besieged city of Beirut. In 1982, for his efforts he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom—the highest official honor given to a U.S. citizen by the U.S. government.

Early in 1986, Reagan sent Habib to the Philippines to convince President Ferdinand Marcos to step down. In March 1986, Reagan appointed him as a special envoy to Central America with the intention of furthering U.S. interests in the conflict in Nicaragua. Administration hard-liners intended to use his fame and stature to advance a military solution, namely further funding of the Contras.

Deciding that the Contadora Plan had run its course, Óscar Arias, the newly elected president of Costa Rica, drew up a plan that focused on democratization. While he viewed the Arias plan as riddled with loopholes, Habib worked to help revise it, and promoted it to other Central American governments.

On August 7, 1987, the five Central American presidents, much to the shock of the rest of the world, agreed in principle to the Arias plan. Because further negotiating would require Habib to meet directly with Nicaragua's president, Daniel Ortega, President Reagan forbade him to travel. Believing he no longer had the confidence of the president, Habib resigned.

Death and legacy
While on vacation in France in 1992, Habib suffered a cardiac arrhythmia in Puligny-Montrachet and died on May 25 at age 72.

Former Secretary of State George Shultz spoke at his funeral in Belmont, California, and characterized Habib as "...a man who really made a difference." He was buried nearby at the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, just south of San Francisco. Speakers at his memorial service in Washington at the National Cathedral the following week included two former Secretaries of State, Henry Kissinger and Cyrus Vance, and a future one, former colleague Lawrence Eagleburger.

In 2006, Habib was featured on a United States postage stamp, one of a block of six featuring prominent diplomats. In 2013, the city of Junieh, Lebanon, unveiled a bust of Habib among other "national heroes" in Friendship Square.

Habib is the subject of the 1982 Warren Zevon song "The Envoy".

Special Combat Aggressive Reactionary System

Special Combat Aggressive Reactionary Systems (SCARS) is an American combat fighting system created by Jerry L. Peterson.

History
SCARS is based on sciences of psychology, physiology, physical movement as well as research on the nervous system. SCARS was developed by Peterson after serving two tours in the US Army 173rd Airborne Brigade during the Vietnam War. It was debuted in 1987, and began to be taught to various military, law enforcement, and security units, such as the Arizona State police. Currently, SCARS is taught through private seminars, larger scale contracts, online training and DVDs. It contains no defensive actions, as all checks against the enemy's kicks or punches are delivered as strikes to vulnerable nerves.

The program is based upon the idea that every human body reacts in the same way to specific injuries, and the program puts together various strikes to specific nerves, bones, and organs in order to debilitate an aggressive individual. The goal is to produce an "autokinematic reaction", creating a spinal reflex that happens in all humans. For example, if struck with kinetic force above the solar plexus, the upper body will react moving backwards. If struck below the solar plexus in the same way with kinetic force the body will buckle or the head will come forward. This reaction has nothing to do with pain, although it may hurt after the spinal reflex. It has everything to do with your spine reacting to protect your body. The three main elements of SCARS are geometry, physiology, and physics, and avoids the spiritual aspect that is prevalent in many martial arts.

Government personnel training programs
SCARS was initially presented to the Department of the Navy in 1988. SCARS Institute of Combat Sciences has developed training courses for the US Army and Air Force, as well as foreign governments and various law enforcement agencies. For the first seven years the fighting system remained exclusively known to and practiced by US Special Forces. The program was taught via seminars, government contracts, and also the SCARS Institute of Combative Sciences, once known as "the most expensive school in the world".

The US Navy developed a training manual for teaching SCARS to members of the Navy and SEALs. It states in its introduction that it was used as "an educational system dealing primarily with the thought process in high risk areas of combat" and meant to "increase an individual's decision making skills in high stress areas of conflict".

Public education
In 1993, the company produced video programming to teach its techniques to the general public. Live seminars are also available to the public in which are taught reliable hand to hand, and hand to weapons combat techniques over the span of three days. The remainder of the Navy program was not released to the public in the videos or otherwise. The videos were first distributed in 1993 as the most expensive collection of defense videos ever produced; however, they sold a large number of copies, and grossed $1 million in the first nine months. In 1999 a SCARS TV program was scripted and cast, though it was not produced. Blake Peterson also published the book ''Attention! Teachers, Students and Parents! Survive the Unsurvivable! - What Science Tells Us About Fear, Self-Defense, School Shootings and Why Guns in Schools Might Not Be the Best Solution'' in 2013, using SCARS as the basis for teaching supervisory figures how to deal with the increasing gun violence in US schools.

Cancellation by US Military
By March 1998, internal Naval Special Warfare Command documents confirmed that the time commitment for the 30-day course meant that no units of Naval Special Warfare Command had been trained in the SCARS system in over two years; on April 17, 1998, the SCARS course was cancelled by Naval Special Warfare Command. As of 2011, the Naval Special Warfare Command had implemented mixed martial arts inspired combat training.

Talk:Madhouse, Inc.

Change from list format to inline text
The removal of the list of shows and replacing it with a link to AniDB's more complete list is better from the point of view of completeness but makes it much harder to link to information about shows contained within wikipedia.

A combination of textor a 'select list' of Madhouse anime in the main article, but my experience from the anime article is that if you have people a bulleted list that's easy to add stuff too, it'll just get everything under the sun added to it. Half the articles for List_of_anime_companies suffer from this long-but-random-and-incomplete-list syndrome. Anyway, revisions to the currently woefully inadequate text welcome. --zippedmartin 02:13, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm happy to try a different tact with the article to try and get a good balance between quality and quanity. Of course that means having to write better chunks of texts to mention shows but that hopefully will make the article more useful in the end.

I read in the boondocks article that madhouse does the animation for the series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.43.213 (talk) 17:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

List by date
Just a small suggestion here, but I think it would be more helpful to have the list of productions be in a by decades format, similar to the articles for some of the other studios like Sunrise. This would make it easier to track down certain productions that one doesn't know the title of, sort productions better by quality and era, and make it a little easier on the eyes. Just an idea, thanks. Achtzehn (talk) 05:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with this N-Denizen (talk) 00:52, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. I actually came to this talk page to suggest that. I guess no one has had time to take the initiative since it was first suggested. I will try to find some time. ask123 (talk) 21:51, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Claude Michel

Claude Michel (20 December 1738 – 29 March 1814), known as Clodion, was a French sculptor in the Rococo style, especially noted for his works in marble, bronze, & terracotta.

Life
He was born in Nancy to Anne Adam and Thomas Michel, an undistinguished sculptor. Anne was the sister of sculptors Lambert-Sigisbert Adam and Francois Gaspard Adam. In Nancy and probably in Lille he spent the earlier years of his life. In 1755 he came to Paris and entered the workshop of his maternal uncle Lambert-Sigisbert Adam, an established sculptor. He remained four years in this workshop, and on his death became a pupil of Jean-Baptiste Pigalle. In 1759 he won the grand prize for sculpture at the Académie Royale. In 1761 he earned the first silver medal for studies from models. In 1762 he went to Rome, where his activity was considerable between 1767 and 1771.

Catherine II of Russia was eager to secure his presence in St Petersburg, but he returned to Paris. Among his patrons, which were very numerous, were the chapter of Rouen, the states of Languedoc, and the director generale. His works were frequently exhibited at the Salon. In 1782 he married Catherine Flore, a daughter of the sculptor Augustin Pajou, who subsequently obtained a divorce from him. The agitation caused by the French Revolution drove Clodion in 1792 to Nancy, where he remained until 1798, His energies being spent in the decoration of houses.

Among Clodion's works are a statue of Montesquieu, a Dying Cleopatra, and a chimneypiece at present in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In 1782, he realized the decoration for the nymphaeum of the Hôtel de Besenval. His 1788 work Dance of Time is in the Frick Collection in New York. Another known sculpture is called "The Intoxication of Wine". One of his last groups represented Homer as a beggar being driven away by fishermen (1810). Clodion died in Paris, on the eve of the invasion of Paris by the forces of the Sixth Coalition.

Maybe It's Me (TV series)

Maybe It's Me is an American television sitcom that aired on The WB network. It premiered on October 5, 2001, and ended on May 3, 2002. The series was created and executive produced by Suzanne Martin, a former writer of Frasier and Ellen.

Premise
The series was centered on the life of teenager Molly Stage (Reagan Dale Neis) and her eccentric and often-embarrassing family, including her parents (insanely frugal mom, played by Julia Sweeney, and soccer-obsessed dad, played by Fred Willard), her two older brothers, her little twin sisters, and her grandparents.

Over the course of the series, Molly dealt with many situations in which her family embarrassed her on numerous occasions. Not alone in her perils, she had her best friend Mia (Vicki Davis) by her side who is madly in love with Molly's older brother Grant (Patrick Levis), who is a born-again Christian. Her oldest, self-absorbed brother Rick (Andrew W. Walker) constantly got into trouble.

Original series title
During the network's upfront presentation that season, the show was originally titled Maybe I'm Adopted, but following negative feedback, the show was re-titled. The show was unique in that it featured pop-up graphics on the screen, a concept originally proposed by Stan Rogow for another Disney-produced comedy series, Lizzie McGuire.
