Hey Tuvic, just checking in with you on the status of the bot; Rob approved a one week trial on the 1st, and I'm doing follow up and asking everyone with a currently active trial to give us a report back on how things are going. If you could drop a note on the progress at Bots/Requests_for_approvals in the next couple days, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Essjay ( Talk  • Connect  ) 08:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Blokkade en etentje
Ik zag dat jij in Antwerpen-centrum woont: kan je zondag dan niet komen in feite? En heb je trouwens mijn mailtje ontvangen, want je hebt volledig gelijk, vind ik, aangezien het trouwens ook letterlijk zo gegaan is als je zegt, plus dat kopje heb ik terecht gewijzigd. Extremely sexy 19:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ik heb geen idee of ik kan komen, maar echt terzake doet het niet: ik kom toch niet naar wikimeets.
 * Je mail heb ik niet ontvangen (misschien nog onderweg of zo). --Tuvic 19:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Onterechte blokkade door Känsterle (ferm overdreven) => het is zo gegaan als jij opmerkte: ik zou enorm graag hebben dat je mij laat deblokkeren door een moderator, alsjeblieft. Extremely sexy 21:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Je kan een mail sturen naar moderators-nl AT wikipedia.org, en daar je vraag stellen, of je kan Känsterle proberen mailen (in beide gevallen: 1 mail is voldoende, de boel spammen zal zeker niet helpen), maar ik weet niet of dat veel zal uithalen. Jouw enorm enerverende gewoonte van in andersmans commentaar te zitten editten is ronduit hemeltergend, en je raakt het blijkbaar niet afgeleerd. In gewone artikels en uitlegpagina's is dat ok, maar als de mensen hun bijdrage ondertekenen, dan willen ze niet dat hun woorden achteraf verdraaid of veranderd worden, en dat blijkt blijkbaar moeilijk bij jou over te komen. --Tuvic 21:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * (En ja, ook al is het maar een komma, of zelfs een duidelijke typo.)
 * Ik heb het hier nu bij jou expres ook wél gedaan, want op deze Wikipedia, de Engelse dus, mag dat wél, en je weet verdorie goed genoeg dat Känsterle zijn boekje te buiten is gegaan, want je zei dat zélf: ik verbeterde toen niet meer, en toch blokkeerde hij mij, de rotzak.

P.S.: die heeft zelfs géén e-mailadres op de website achtergelaten, dus ik kan hem niet mailen.

P.P.S.: nu nog erger zelfs, want het door jou voorgstelde adres weigert nota bene mijn mails => Subject: Onterechte blokkade door Känsterle (ferm overdreven) From: moderators-nl-owner ath wikipedia.org To: yvohofmans ath yahoo.com Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2006 22:36:12 +0000

 * Tsja, dan kan ik er ook weinig aan doen. Schelden zal wel niet helpen, dat werkt alleen maar agressie op. Misschien dat je door de discussie in de kroeg toch nog vroeger gedeblokkeerd wordt, maar dat is niet zeker. En anders zal je de blok moeten uitzitten zeker? Een tip: als je terug gedeblokkeerd bent, blijf dan uit andersmans geschreven teksten uit. --Tuvic 09:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Dat is een absolute zekerheid, maar dat kopje was goed bedoeld, zoals Limowreck het zegt. Extremely sexy 10:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Bot Difficulties
Hey, could you put a message on my talk page or AIV saying that's wrong with that bot? I can rollback all the contribs, but I want to know what happened first. alpha Chimp  laudare 22:13, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Bot sleeps
Can you help me with pywikipediabot? I want to disable sleep function...? --Emx 10:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I suppose you mean the 10 second interval between the edits. Well, you can alter the default-throttle-time, but that's not always a good idea, because you might overflood the recent changes list, or put too much stress on the server. If you insist on doing it, you have to alter the throttle time of the bot with the command-line paramater putthrottle. Try python interwiki.py -help for an explanation about all the possible options of the bot. I have to warn you also to carefully run the bot: start slow, and get a feel for it. Also, don't try all the options out at once. And as a beginning bot-operator, I certainly would not run it at maximum speed without supervision. Greetings, --Tuvic 16:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. Now i need to make my bot adds en: to the end of the articles mentioned on http://bs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korisnik:Emx/Radionica/Lista_godina . So, those articles need to have just a link to en wiki and then i can start adding other interwikis to them. Any help? can i use category.py or something similar? --Emx 19:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about how to do that. So I can't really help you with that, sorry. But all articles on that page already seem to have valid interwikilinks, so I'm not sure why you want to accomplish. --Tuvic 19:31, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. Feel free to delete this. --Emx 20:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, :-) --Tuvic 20:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Blokkade op de Nederlandse Wikipedia
Graag uw stem voor mijn deblokkade op de pagina http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blokkeringsmeldingen#Voor_opheffing_van_de_blokkade: Extremely sexy 19:37, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Ik ben voldoende in staat te oordelen of, eventueel wanneer, en zeker wat ik stem in een peiling of stemming. Misschien dat je het niet doorhebt, maar al dat gepush om tegen te stemmen heeft juist een averechts effect: de meesten vinden het niet leuk een zo'n recruteringstekstje op hun overlegpagina te krijgen, en het overgrote merendeel van de mensen vindt het helemaal niet leuk om gespamd te worden met die boodschappen. Ook boze mails hebben een averechts effect.
 * Verder dacht ik dat je ondertussen nu toch al wel door zou hebben dat je niet in andermans teksten moet beginnen editten. (PUNT) Zeker als je net geblokkeerd bent geweest daarvoor, is het zeer onverstandig dat toch te doen, om welke reden dan ook. (Om welke reden dan ook: niet editten in andermans commentaar) Geen gemaar en geen uitzonderingen: na verloop van tijd is iedereen het zo beu dat er ergens een grens is bereikt. Als je dan toch over die lijn gaat, dan kun je acties zoals deze blokkade verwachten. Ik vind het spijtig (ook vou jou) dat je blijkbaar niet doorhebt dat je beter mijlenver van die lijn wegblijft. Mvg, --Tuvic 20:11, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hoe kan zo één mailtje in iemand e-mailbox spam zijn, hallo, zeg, en tegen jou moet ik het dus het ook wéér zeggen dat dit géén overtreding van de "regels" is, want het betreft het corrigeren of verbeteren van EIGEN TEKSTEN en MIJN ACHTERNAAM dus, maar, ik zeg het je, als dat zelfs ook al nog niet eens meer mag, dan hoeft het voor mij niet meer, weet je wel. Extremely sexy 21:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Zelfs als het geen overtreding van de regels is, is het nog niet verstandig: je wordt ergens voor geblokkeerd, en de second dat je blokkade afgelopen is, ga je weer netjes op de rand van de ravijn lopen. Op het gespam ga ik niet verder op in: je weet best wel zelf welke mails je hebt verstuurd, alsook dat je sommige ervan zeker zelf nooit zou willen krijgen. Verder nog één ding, Bart: je hebt niet altijd gelijk, en je kan niet altijd het laatste woord hebben. --Tuvic 18:20, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ik was me (en ben me nog steeds) van géén kwaad bewust, want ik heb er nu juist speciaal op gelet dat ik mijn belofte zou houden, dus nu ben ik uiteraard enorm gefrustreerd, en zelfs razend, zeker als betrokkenen het vertikken om op eender welke mailtje ook van mij te antwoorden, wat enorm onbeleefd is, plus niemand heeft altijd gelijk, hoor. Extremely sexy 22:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Dat is het hem nu juist: je bent je meestan van géén kwaad bewust, maar door je doen erger je anderen soms mateloos. Als ze er dan iets op zeggen, reageer je met een "maar ...", en dan bevestig je nog eens dat je in je eigen ogen goed hebt gedaan. Je luistert dus niet echt naar hetgeen de mensen zeggen, maar blijft altijd overtuigd van je eigen gelijk. Bovendie slaag je er blijkbaar niet in van een spelfout in iemands overlegbijdrage te laten staan, wat mij doet denken aan één of andere dwangneurose. Moest je nu gewoon wat aandacht besteden aan de opmerkingen van andere in plaats van altijd maar je eigen ding te doen, dat zou toch makkelijker zijn. Verder begrijp ik het als mensen niet reageren op een mail waarin het onderwerp 3 lijnen geschreeuw is. --Tuvic 16:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Dat is dus wel écht niet waar, hoor, man, want ik heb nu juist, zoals ik trouwens ook beloofd had, alle spelfouten op eender welke overlegpagina dan ook laten staan, maar wél die in mijn EIGEN TEKSTEN verbeterd én ook MIJN ACHTERNAAM gecorrigeerd, dat is alles, en in het begin stuurde ik "gewone" mailtjes naar Oscar ( name erased Tuvic ), bijgenaamd ( insult erased Tuvic ), maar als meneer zich zelfs ook nog niet eens vergewaardigt om daarop te antwoorden, dit ondanks het feit dat Lodewijk hem daar ook toe aangespoord had, dan kan ik logischerwijze onmogelijk nog respect voor hem opbrengen. Extremely sexy 12:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Dan nog is het niet slim dat te doen. Als je het dan toch deed, had dan toch iets kort in de bewerkingssamenvatting ofzo gezet, zoals "verbetering eigen geschreven tekst, per ongeluk met typefout gepost door ..." of zo. En verder is niemand verplicht te reageren op een mail. Verder denk ik niet dat het een goed idee is om te gaan schelden en vloeken, en dan te verwachten dat je normaal behandeld wordt: als je van iemand respect wil, moet je ook respect tegenover die persoon moeten hebben. Indien je echter iedereen negeert, en hun opmerkingen beschouwt als onzin, dan moet je niet verwachten dat je veel krediet zal krijgen. --Tuvic 19:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Daar had ik zelfs nog niet eens aan gedacht, maar dat zal ik in het vervolg natuurlijk doen, want ik word hier dus overduidelijk geviseerd door een aantal mensen, doch ik hoop nu dan toch ook wel maar dat je nu gelooft dat ik dit met de beste bedoelingen deed, en zéér zeker niet om te provoceren of uit te dagen, wel integendeel zelfs, vandaar. Extremely sexy 23:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok. Mag ik je er dan wel nog even op wijzen dat ellenlange epistels in de samenvatting net zo min geapprecieerd zullen worden als ellenlange epistels in de onderwerpregel van een mail. Meer dan een kleine korte samenvatting moet dat niet zijn.
 * En dan nog iets wat ik me eigenlijk afvraag: wat wil je eigenlijk bereiken op Wikipedia? Waarom werk je eigenlijk mee aan Wikipedia? Wat is je 'doel', om het zo maar te zeggen? --Tuvic 15:52, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ja, maar ik bedoel eigenlijk dat ik van enkelen het advies kreeg om dan uitleg te geven over mijn correctie via die samenvatting, vandaar, en sommigen zeiden zelfs dat ik beter zélf daaronder iets had geschreven in de trant van "Ik bedoelde dus wel Wikipediaconferentie", resp. "Mijn achternaam luidt Versieck i.p.v. Versiek". Extremely sexy 17:04, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Mijn doel is logischerwijze het corrigeren van artikelen, zélf ook enkele nieuwe artikelen aanmaken, en zoveel mogelijk rode links wegwerken, plus wikificeren, dus blauwe links aanmaken in reeds bestaande artikelen, maar tevens ook wat vandalisme terugdraaien, dus zo'n beetje vanalles wat eigenlijk, doch word ik nu wel gedeblokkeerd? Extremely sexy 17:04, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

(even terug vanvoor beginnen) Jouw voornemens lijken me goed, alleen heb ik zowat het gevoel dat je in de praktijk toch ook veel anders doet: zo begrijp ik nog steeds sommige van je edits niet goed (bijvoorbeeld de vroegere wijzigingen in archieven en zo). Verder meen ik te mogen opmerken, dat je blijkbaar nog steeds niet alle mogelijkheden van de wiki hebt ontdekt: zo is er een knop om je wijzigigen eerst te tonen bijvoorbeeld, hetgeen je volgens mij maar zelden gebruikt. Ook markeer je steevast elke wijziging als een kleine wijziging, wat ook niet echt de bedoeling is. Deze en allerlei andere kleine dingen werken soms op de mensen hun zenuwen, waardoor het algemeen beeld van jou eerder negatief is. Op de één of andere wijze slaag je er telkens weer in jezelf 'in nesten te werken'. Daarom zou ik graag hebben dat, wanneer je blokkade afloopt of je gedeblokkeerd wordt, dat je voor je op opslaan klikt, altijd eerst even een paar seconden stilstaat je edit: vraag jezelf dan af of deze wel zin heeft, en of je de edit goed zou vinden moest iemand anders deze maken. Probeer heel bewust te editten, en probeer als eens iets te negeren, zoals een spelfout in iemands bijdrage of zo. --Tuvic 17:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Ja, dat is ook wel waar, maar daar hou ik me nu niet meer mee bezig, en daar heb je ook gelijk in, dus ik zal voortaan wat meer eerst checken, zodat ik meerdere wijzigingen tegelijkertijd kan doen, plus ik blijf nu zondermeer af van spelfouten gemaakt door iemand anders, alleszins op gebruikers- én overlegpagina's, tenzij dan op die van mij, hé. Extremely sexy 18:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Zelfs daar zou ik toch nog oppassen niet in andermans teksten te beginnen editten. Je kan misschien op je overlegpagina een groot kader zetten met daarop dat je op je eigen overlegpagina wel spelfouten verbeterd, maar echt aanraden zou ik het in het geheel niet doen, verbeteren van andersmans teksten dan. --Tuvic 18:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Goed, dan zal ik daar binnenkort zoiets plaatsen, maar is die peiling nu nog wel geldig, en haalt Oscar bakzeil? Extremely sexy 18:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Volgens mij is ze nog geldig. Wat je juist bedoelt met dat bakzeil en Oscar weet ik niet, maar ik weet wel dat Oscar gewoon zijn best doet om de wiki te beschermen. Volgens mij zal die al tevreden zijn als je een min of meer normaal edit-gedrag begint te vertonen, en geen commentaar van andere mensen meer bewerkt. Mag ik je er trouwens op wijzen dat Oscar in het verleden zijn nek voor jou al heeft uitgestoken, net als andere mensen. Eén van de redenen dat ze zich zo aan je ergeren, is dat je hen al veel tijd en krediet hebt gekost in het verleden, en dat het eigenlijk allemaal niet uit lijkt te maken, aangezien je na verloop van tijd toch weer 'hervalt'. Misschien kan je er niets aan doen (ik heb al eens gedacht dat je leidt aan een nl:Obsessief-compulsieve persoonlijkheidsstoornis of zoiets)(En dit is niet beledigend bedoelt of zo, alleen een opmerking die ik voor mezelf maakte), maar vervelend is het wel.
 * Nog een laatste opmerking: realiseer je wel dat dit één van je laatste kansen begint te worden: je bent al veel te vaak in de problemen gekomen, en ook al veel te vaak geblokkeerd om goed te zijn. Op zeker moment zal iedereen het beu zijn, en dan kan je je aan een lange blokkade verwachten. Als je je gedrag niet veranderd, althans. --Tuvic 19:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ken je die uitdrukking nu dan niet? Extremely sexy 19:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Je wéét dat ik dat ook zal doen. Extremely sexy 19:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ik ken de uitdrukking wel, maar ik bedoel dat het niet de bedoeling is dat dit uitmondt in een "bakzeil halen", voor welke partij dan ook. --Tuvic 19:31, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ik hoop het, doch zeker weten doe ik het niet. --Tuvic 19:31, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Maar iemand móét toch verliezen, want het resultaat van die peiling móét toch gerespecteerd worden. Extremely sexy 19:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ik geef je mijn erewoord, weet je. Extremely sexy 19:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ik weet niet of je het al begrepen had, maar bij deze zaak zijn er alleen maar verliezers ... --Tuvic 15:28, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Maar als ze me nu niet onmiddellijk deblokkeren, dan houd ik het definitief voor bekeken of gezien, hoor. Extremely sexy 20:28, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Dat is dan je eigen keuze. --Tuvic 09:41, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Wel: ze hebben me dus toch gedeblokkeerd. Extremely sexy 12:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Blijkbaar. --Tuvic 09:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Gelukkig is die RonaldW tenminste een verstandig man. Extremely sexy 11:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Als jij het zegt. --Tuvic 17:46, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Dolledre blokkeerde me wéér. Extremely sexy 23:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Dat deed hij waarschijnlijk omdat je fanatiek bezig was met "het corrigeren van artikelen, zélf ook enkele nieuwe artikelen aanmaken, en zoveel mogelijk rode links wegwerken, plus wikificeren, dus blauwe links aanmaken in reeds bestaande artikelen, maar tevens ook wat vandalisme terugdraaien". --Tuvic 15:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hahaha, stop eens met dat ironisch hoongelach van jou, want ik hield me juist nog even gedeisd met al die spionnen daar, dus daar zou ik gisteren écht mee begonnen zijn, ware het niet dat ik geblokkeerd werd door nota bene mijn "vriend", én zelfs om politieke redenen, moet je weten, dus Wikipedia is verre van een neutrale encyclopedie. Extremely sexy 16:48, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * (ok, sorry voor het sarcasme. Hoongelach was echter niet mijn bedoeling, en ik hoop dat het niet zo overkomt)
 * Je bent inderdaad weer geblokkeerd. Dat van dat gedeisd houden is onzin: je hebt tot nu toe nog bijna enkel bewerkingen gedaan op overlegpagina's: veel edits, met quasi nul resultaat voor de encyclopedie. Wel slaag je erin om de echte namen van mensen te gebruiken, wat zeker niet geapprecieerd wordt, en dan nog eens anderen te betrekken in je eigen politieke overtuiging. Verder vind ik dat je heel snel iemand "vriend" noemt: het is niet omdat iemand beleefd en vriendelijk tegen je is, dat die je vriend is. Jouw probleem schijnt me te zijn dat je het nogal moeilijk hebt in de sociale omgang met mensen, op internet zo mogelijk nog meer dan in het echte leven: bedenk dat iedereen apart voor zijn pc zit, en misschien daarbuiten helemaal niet met Wikipedia wil geconfronteerd worden, en dat sommige mensen erg hun privacy aanhangen, en zich bedreigd voelen als hun naam op internet wordt genoemd, of als ze te familiair worden behandeld, of als hun eventuele politieke voorkeuren te grabbel worden gegooid. --Tuvic 18:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Blijkbaar wél, ja, maar daar had ik dus inderdaad gewoonweg helemaal niet aan gedacht. Extremely sexy 22:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Je zou het de anderen en jezelf veel makkelijker maken, moest je eerst even een paar minuten nadenken, in plaats van altijd maar zomaar te beginnen editten. --Tuvic 19:53, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, maar ik had dus wel écht verre van de bedoeling om Dries in diskrediet te brengen, moet je weten, hoor. Extremely sexy 07:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Blijkbaar heb je de unieke gave om onbedoeld iedereen voor het hoofd te stoten. --Tuvic 17:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Een gave die je beter niet bezit kortom. Extremely sexy 21:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Zo zou je het kunnen zeggen. --Tuvic 20:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Maar vanaf maandag vlieg ik er écht in. Extremely sexy 21:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Mooi om te horen. --Tuvic 16:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Als ze me tenminste niet meer onheus behandelen. Extremely sexy 18:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ja, ok. --Tuvic 19:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * En daar sta jij hopelijk borg voor? Extremely sexy 22:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Neen: ik sta net zo min borg voor jouw acties als voor de acties van anderen. Enkel mijn eigen acties kan ik controleren. --Tuvic 10:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Maar probeer hen dan toch in te tomen. Extremely sexy 10:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Probeer jij jezelf vooral wat in te tomen. Beperk je tot de artikelruimte, en ga verder niet rondstrooien met bloemen en dergelijke. --Tuvic 10:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Maar dat vonden ze juist leuk, en dat was ook goed bedoeld van mij, dus zeker niet om te slijmen, hoor. Extremely sexy 10:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Als je problemen wil vermijden, beperk je tot encyclopedisch feiten in de artikelruimte. Als je het toch anders wil doen, ben je vrij om dat te doen: dat is dan je eigen keuze. --Tuvic 10:43, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, maar maak "NielsF" eens even duidelijk dat ik dat niet deed om te slijmen, doch wél om te bedanken. Extremely sexy 11:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Neen. Ik vond het ook geslijm en totaal overbodig de aandacht trekken. Als jij iets anders bedoelde, dan moet je hem dat zelf zeggen. --Tuvic 11:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Als die tenminste eens naar mij wil luisteren, maar geloof jij mij kortom niet? Extremely sexy 11:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Waarschijnlijk meen je het wel goed, maar je blijft onhandig en weinig sociaal voelend overkomen. --Tuvic 13:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ik ben enorm blij dat je me gelooft. Extremely sexy 18:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok. --Tuvic 10:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Vanavond ga ik tafeltennissen en dan erin vliegen. Extremely sexy 16:19, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, maar niet té enthousiast, he. --Tuvic 18:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Kliment Voroshilov tank
I reverted your deletion of interwiki links from Kliment Voroshilov tank. This looks like a mistake to me. —Michael Z. 2007-02-03 05:12 Z
 * Actually, is was not a mistake. The article Kliment Voroshilov tank is a general article about the different kind of tanks (KV-1, KV-2, KV-85, ...).  The German article de:KW-1 in only about the KV-1-tank, not about the other ones. The split up the article, and gave every kind of tank their own different article. Now, some wikis general articles about the tanks, and some have specific articles about the tanks. I decided to split them up, after I came across an interwiki-conflict with my bot. Right now, the interwiki-conflict is back: you can (for example) both acces cs:KV (tank)  and cs:KV-1 following the interwikis.
 * There are now two groups:

(1)cs:KV (tank) in: bg:КВ (танк) en:Kliment Voroshilov tank fi:KV-sarja fr:Char Kliment Voroshilov it:Kliment Voroshilov (carro) nl:Kliment Voroshilov (tank) pl:Czołgi KW (2)cs:KV-1 in: de:KW-1 es:KV-1 hr:KV-1 ja:KV-1 pl:KW-1 ru:КВ-1 sv:KV-1
 * So, it was no mistake, but an attempt to resolve an interwiki-conflict. Greetings, --Tuvic 12:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

 * But wouldn't it make sense to link to the nearest equivalent when it occurs, that is, to link to a foreign-language KV-1 article from Kliment Voroshilov tank when there is no exact equivalent, rather than not linking at all? The topic overlaps by a great deal, and Interlanguage links does say "if a topic does not have its own page in the English Wikipedia, but has in another language version of Wikipedia, then linking to that is useful, from a page that mentions the topic, and/or covers a more general topic."  Removing the only equivalent link to an other-language Wikipedia seems like the removal of valuable correct information, to me.

 * And the topics "KV tank" and "KV-1" are nearly equivalent in my mind, since the KV-2 is a less-important variant, having the same relationship, for example, that the BT-5A artillery tank has to the BT-5 (both currently covered in BT tank). —Michael Z. 2007-02-03 17:03 Z

 * It sometimes makes sense to link to the nearest equivalent, but not always: subjects have to be nearly identical. You might consider removing the links removal of valuable correct information, but you also have to know that no bot will ever treat Kliment Voroshilov tank again, just because of the adding of these interwikilinks, and the fact that they find more than one page per language, and so the linking is ambigious.
 * The subjects are indeed almost the same, but, nevertheless, some wikis have decided to split up the articles about them. I can't really say something about the tanks themselves: I don't know enough about them to do that.
 * I won't remove the links again (at least not in recent future, maybe later I'll have forgot about this), but I do think they shouldn't be there, because is't not the same subject. Greetings, --Tuvic 18:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Your bot continues to remove the chinese langue links
I donn't know why? .talk to me--Ksyrie 04:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The bot hasn't been running for a few days, so I don't really know why you use 'continues'. If it had this problem before, please inform me about it, because I did not notice this before today. Can you give me examples of incorrect removals? Also, see the thread just below. --Tuvic 21:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

TuvicBot -> zh-interwikis
I have blocked TuvicBot because it seems to be removing valid interwiki links such as Safflower,zh:紅花 and Invoice,zh:統一發票 and Xie Xingfang,zh:謝杏芳;Xicheng District,zh:北京市西城区.

I have set the block for 4 hours, and have disabled autoblock so your main account will not be effected. If I am in error, sorry. If the bot is malfunctioning please fix it before starting it up again. Peace. High InBC (Need help? Ask me) 04:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Blocking wasn't really necessary, because it was already 3 days ago, but ok. Now about the bot:
 * About Safflower: I've checked this interwiki with the bot, and corrected it. Apparently, the article name was indeed incorrect, but by some weird software-stuff, you end up at the right page when you use the incorrect title in your browser. The bot requests only the page source, so it doesn't find the page. You really have to look very carefully, but the article names are spelled just a little differently.

 * Thanks a lot.For this kind of problem,I'd like to talk about the chinese wikipedia.There are two kinds of Chinese Character,one is Traditional Chinese and another is Simplified Chinese.Sometimes,people created the article with Traditional Chinese and interlink other wiki with Simplified Chinese,sometimes vice versa.I'd checked the Safflower interwiki link,it was this kind of problem.--Ksyrie 01:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, thanks for the info. --Tuvic 13:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The interwiki at Invoice was probably removed because the zh-version is a disambiguation page, and the article in English is not.
 * Xie Xingfang seems to have had the same problem as Safflower: wrong title, just a little bit different. Corrected by some else already.

Endemic birds of Madagascar and western Indian Ocean islands

This article is one of a series providing information about endemism among birds in the world's various zoogeographic zones. For an overview of this subject see Endemism in birds.

Patterns of endemism
This region is notable not just for the high number of endemic species, but for endemism in higher-level taxonomic groupings too.

Order-level endemism
Two orders are endemic to Madagascar or the wider region:

 * Mesites are placed within the Mesitornithiformes, an order containing three species in two genera.
 * The cuckoo-roller is placed in the monotypic order Leptosomiformes. It is endemic to the wider region, as its single species is present on both Madagascar and Comores.

Family-level endemism
The following three families are endemic to Madagascar:

 * Ground-rollers, a family within the Coraciiformes, containing five species in three genera.
 * Asities, a passerine family within the Old World suboscines, containing four species in two genera
 * Malagasy Warblers, a passerine family within the Old World oscines, containing eleven species in eight genera.

One other family is endemic to the wider region:

 * The vangas, an oscine passerine family, containing sixteen species in eleven genera are endemic to the region. All but one species are confined to Madagascar, the sole exception being the Comoro blue vanga, restricted to Comores.

Subfamily-level endemism

 * The nine species of coua (genus Coua, a subfamily of the cuckoos) are all Madagascan endemics.
 * Two extinct species, the dodo of Mauritius and Rodrigues solitaire of Rodrigues are placed in the Raphinae (a subfamily of the doves and pigeons).
 * the rock-thrushes, Monticola, in which three of the 13 species are endemic to Madagascar (these three are sometimes separated into their own genus, Pseudocossyphus).

Endemic Bird Areas
In Madagascar, the total wealth of known terrestrial is about 5,800 species (and 2,500 pending description), and 86 percent are endemic to the island.

Species endemic to Madagascar
The following is a list of species endemic to Madagascar.

Res (singer)

Shareese Renée Ballard, better known by her stage name Res, is an American singer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her musical style is a blend of indie pop, soul, and rock.

Solo career
Res released her debut album, How I Do, in 2001 along with its first single "Golden Boys." Despite heavy rotation on VH1, the song did not catch on in radio play. "Ice King" (Remixed by Nas) emerged as the second single later that year but also failed to break through with radio audiences and no video was filmed. In early 2002, Res released the third single from How I Do, "They-Say Vision." The song and accompanying video were breakthrough hits and reached #1 on the Billboard Dance chart and #37 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. With the chart success of the single, the album entered the Billboard 200 for the first time. A fourth single, "Sittin' Back," was also released but did not enjoy the same success as "They-Say Vision."

Meanwhile, in 2002, Res appeared on a track with Tony Allen, Ray Lema, Baaba Maal, Positive Black Soul and Archie Shepp for the Red Hot Organization's compilation album Red Hot and Riot, a tribute to Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. Res also performed a cover of Jefferson Starship song, "Miracles" for the Jennifer Lopez movie Maid in Manhattan.

In 2003, her record label, MCA Records, was phased out by MCA Inc. and absorbed by Geffen Records. Res was later released from her contract at her request after the label refused to release any further work despite paying her contracted label salary. After parting ways with Geffen, Res was called upon to model for Marc Ecko's "Ecko Red" clothing line and appeared in print advertising.

In 2006, Res recorded "To Empower" for the soundtrack of the drama film Akeelah and the Bee. She joined Gnarls Barkley's St. Elsewhere tour providing supporting vocals while writing and recording material for her second album.

In 2009, Res released her second album Black.Girls.Rock! through digital media available on iTunes. The album features tracks originally recorded for her shelved Geffen album. Black.Girls.Rock! is described by Res as "more of a singer/songwriters album than my debut. Great, classic songs!" Res funded a limited production run of vinyl pressings.

On February 14, 2011, Res released a compilation of unreleased demos and remixed songs titled A Box of Chocolates after the Forrest Gump quote. The digital-only album is mixed by DJ NI** Sky (Nicole Albino of Nina Sky) and features a blend of music from multiple genres of music. The album was intended as a Valentine's Day gift to her fans as they awaited a proper release of Black.Girls.Rock!.

In 2013, Res signed with Javotti Media/EOne Records and her third studio album, 'Reset', was scheduled to be released on September 15, 2016. As of June 2018, the album had not been released, but an Indigogo campaign for the album had raised $39,000. <!-- commenting out to save the work done until it can be rewritten In October 2010, Res single handedly started a weekly event in her hometown of Philadelphia called RESET. This event was cleverly named after her new album RESET which she has been working on in Toronto. The event dubbed RESET was extremely special to the Philadelphia music scene, simply because there was and still is no other event like it to date. Res hosted and performed with her full band which included 3 guitar players, a bassist, drummer, keyboardist and horn section, every Sunday in October-December at Silk City Lounge. Instead of just holding on to the spotlight alone, Res opened up her event to a slew of amazing unknown female indie rock artists, bands and singer-songwriters. Each week was curated by Res and each female artist was handpicked by Res. She wanted to make sure that the best of the best female indie rock and punk artists had the chance to grace the stage in front of a large number of Philadelphia's most musically diverse tastemakers and die hard music fans. It was very important for Res to create an environment for female rock artist to feel welcomed, considering Philadelphia is the known for their Neo-soul and conscious rap scene. RESET will resume in Philadelphia in Spring of 2011! Res has plans of extending this event to other cities such as DC, New York City as well as Oakland and Los Angeles. Res also heavily documented the entire 3 month stint and has posted a weekly webisode. Movie producer, Steve Zegans reached out to Res and has taken interest in her story. Together, they have begun filming a 60min documentary on Res and RESET. Res is a part of the new wave of indie artists, Zegans has been along to capture her story in a very intimate yet unique way.

Res was chosen for the cover story of Philadelphia Weekly, Oct 3, 2010 issue. She was asked about her return home and her hot event RESET at Silk City, and quite frankly " what she has been up to since her last release!" In the beginning of 2011, Res has completed a number of remakes and remixes which she is released independently thru her Soundcloud account. She is an unique artist who has effortlessly master a few genre's too make them her own. She has remade Neil Young's obscure classic "Don't Let It Bring You Down", Kanye West's hit single "Say You Will" from the 808 Heartbreak Record with rappers Talib Kweli and Ab Liva, 1980s cult classic "Metro" by Berlin and the stellar "On The Radio" by Donna Summer.

Finally on February 14, Res released her highly anticipated mixtape named "A Box of Chocolate". The title of her mixtape is in response to having a few different genre's and styles displaced in the songs that make up her style and the vibe mixtape. During the event RESET, Res was able to experiment with her new songs from an EP she completed called ReFried Mac. This EP was released on October 29, 2013 and produced by Res and Tom Spiker. Res has an undying love for classic rock band Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks and has chosen 5 of her all time favorite songs to remake in her own way. She chose "Edge of Seventeen", "Dreams", "Rhiannon", "Little Lies" and "The Chain". WXPN Radio's Program Director Bruce Warren caught wind of the songs and invited Res to the station, after hearing the songs from ReFried Mac, he asked if he could add them to his station. They are in heavy rotation along with a few songs from her debut album How I Do.

Res also completed a tour supporting Talib Kweli in Northern California in January 2011. The duo performed 90 min plus sets with DJ Spintellect. Res played the supporting role as vocalists and "hype-girl" as well as stepping into the spotlight to perform her hits "Golden Boys" and"Ice King" as well as Steady and Idle Warship hit dance single! Her solo songs were well received as if they were released a few weeks before-->

Idle Warship
In 2009, Res joined long-time collaborator and emcee Talib Kweli to form a hip-hop/electro duo known as Idle Warship. They released a few teaser tracks online including a song named "Steady", that borrows from "Sunglasses At Night" by Corey Hart. In June 2009, Idle Warship completed their first headlining tour through Europe. They performed to sold-out crowds in Switzerland, Norway, France and Germany. Idle Warship has produced a mixtape called Party Robots made available for download in October 2010 on Res' official site.

Their debut album, Habits of the Heart, was released on November 1, 2011. The first single from this debut, "Laser Beams", was produced by DJ Khalil and The New Royales.

Nacaome, with a population of 21,310 (2023 calculation), is the capital city of the Valle department of Honduras and the municipal seat of Nacaome Municipality. It is a manufacturing and commercial center located on the banks of the Nacaome River.

Nacaome is an old city founded when aboriginal Cholulas and Chaparrastiques, tired of fighting each other, thought it best to join together to build new houses in the middle of their territory on the west side of the Chapulapa River (the aboriginal name of the Nacaome River). They named the new town Naca-Ome, meaning "union of two races" in their dialects. In Nahuatl Naca means race or body and Ome means two. This foundation happened before the Spanish conquerors came.

Talk:Jagjit Singh Aurora

Untitled
I think this article has too much information that is already in other articles, namely about the politics surrounding the formation of Bangladesh, the article should focus on General Aurora and link to other articles for the superflous information. DigiBullet 17:48, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Balanced article out
Its true 90,000 pakistanis were captured but only about 45,000 were troops, others were civil workers. Not many people know this.

POV Check
I know nothing about General Singh Aurora and very little about the events surrounding the 1971 conflict between India and Pakistan. However, this article seems to be discussing the general as a great national hero and definitely does not seem to be written from a neutral point of view. We need to have someone on the Pakistani side to balance this out. — DanMS 21:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, Pakistanis don't want to talk much about the war or the surrender. Also this General was not a very controversial one unlike others. And many good things have been said about the way he treated the POWs after their surrender. so I'll have to remove the POV tag since there's not dispute. Idleguy 15:12, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I too was a bit concerned about the point of view but alot of literature written seems to be written in simular language also there isn't much what is written on the Pakistani side (which is credible and neutral).

Aurora?
His last name is Aurora? Isn't that an unusual last name? Why that name, were his ancestors astronomers or something? --AW 17:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Anyone? I'm serious --AW 20:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Answer: No the surname Aurora is an Indian caste found mainly in Hinduisim and Sikhi (which Gen. Aurora is,) to break it down basically they are considered traditionally to be Business Men/Merchants but as being a Sikh the idea of Caste was "offially" rejected under the belief that everyone is equal under god (un-offically people usually are still based on caste) having said that Gen. Aurora seemed to have taken up a traditionally un-othodox profession having a militrary life, but then again Sikhs have had a tradition of joining the militrary (a key example is Sikhs make 2% of India's population, but out of the 29 Infantry Regiments 2 regiments are dedicated only to Sikhs [the Sikh Regiment & the Sikh Light Infantry)]and government positions. Hope that answers the question and any followup questions.

 * Well, I'm afraid you haven't answered this question: Why is the letter u sometimes inserted as the second letter of his name, and sometimes not? The name transliterated directly from Panjabi script is Arora. The interpolated letter u apparently has no basis in the original Panjabi spelling. Somebody has been going around inserting the u into this guy's name, but inconsistently. Unless someone comes up with a really good reason for the spelling with u (in which case all instances of the name, including the title of this article, should be changed to include it), then the u should be deleted everywhere to maintain consistent data.

 * Could it be that the chance phonetic resemblance to an English word has led some to believe that the spelling of the Panjabi name ought to be changed to that of the completely unrelated English word? Say it ain't so. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 11:12, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

 * No one here has offered any explanation for how the letter -u- got inserted into his name. Was it the general's own wish to spell his name like that? Or did he spell it without the -u-? I've searched and searched, but found zero information on this question. Anyway, as previously discussed, I'm deleting the -u- everywhere in the body of the text, so as not to puzzle readers who wonder why his name seems randomly to have two different spellings with no rhyme or reason. (Except in the direct quote from a news story, which will at least make readers wonder why journalists have spelled it that way). Thanks! Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 22:46, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

 * For background on the origin of the name, see ."The word 'Arora' means one belonging to the ancient city of 'Aror' situated on the banks of the river Indus in the northwestern part of the Sindh province of Pakistan." Of course, what really matters for our purpose is which spelling the general himself preferred. Looking around, everywhere he's mentioned, the two spellings are found jumbled together. The one indication I've been able to find is from the most famous moment in his life, the 1971 instrument of surrender. He signed his name as "Jagjit Singh," but left off his last name. However, the typist of that document spelled it "Aurora" under the general's signature, and apparently he didn't object to it. That means we probably can't just delete the u out of hand. To sum it all up: I just don't know what to make of this question! All I know is that this Wikipedia article needs to include both spellings for completeness's sake, and ideally a section ought to be added explaining why there are two spellings in use, if anyone can be found who can explain it.

User talk:Crasshopper

Wish I could find all those edits I made under unregistered IP's years ago....

Manual of style edits
Hi, I rebutted your manual of style edits. I think you misunderstand what mathematicians mean when they say "Its easy to show...". It is not a belittlement of the reader and must not be taken as such; it is rather a statement about the length of a proof, the excercise of which is left to the reader. linas 04:28, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I replied to your note on my talk page. But I liked my reply so much, that I'm posting a copy here:

 * In mathematics, there is an immense raft of specialized jargon. The phrases "Clearly," "Obviously," and "It's easy to show that ..." are a part of that jargon. Although they resemble the English language, thier true meaning is subtle.

 * Mathematicians often encounter head-scratching claims in the papers they read, claims that make them stop and wonder "what does this mean?", and "how could this possibly be true?", or "how could the author presume such a thing without any justification whatsoever?". These head-scratchers come in two basic varieties: the simple, forehead-slapping, "duhh, of course" kind, and the complicated kind. These two types can be very hard to tell apart, and one can loose hours or days on them. There are some well-known stories of strong mathematicians who spent weeks on problems only to wake up in the middle of the night with a "duhh of course" inspiration. The phrases "Clearly," "Obviously," and "It's easy to show that ..." are used to indicate to the reader that what follows is of the forehead-slapping variety. They do not imply that what follows is somehow "easy"; its usually not -- if it was actually easy, then the author wouldn't need to coach the reader with this "com'on you can do it" pep-talk.

 * Yes, texts that use these phrases may seem intimidating, but that comes from an unfamiliarity of math jargon. No one expects that the claim following an "Obviously..." will be obvious to anyone wihout years of preparation. linas 21:14, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Convergent series. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 02:42, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Not inappropriate
The mentioned edit to Convergent series was not a soapbox, autobiographical, advertising, propaganda, opinion, recruitment, or scandalous. It was neutral and relevant.

I am not a new user; I have been editing Wikipedia for over half a decade. Crasshopper (talk) 05:47, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

 * As noted at WP:ELNO links to blogs should usually not be added to Wikipedia. This is especially true of your own blog, and especially true of one which is largely promotional, as implied even just by the name that appears in the article, "hire me because I'm smart". But it would be true just because it's a blog, and I've removed and seen links to blogs removed just because they are links to non-notable blogs, Wikipedians or not. -- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 08:41, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The title of the blog is not permanent (will change to Anti Bourbaki Blog or Human Mathematics or ... something else) and if you read beyond the self-mocking title you would notice that >50% of the posts are genuine mathematics. The content I linked to is "minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article". Any undergraduate learning series for the first time should know the heuristic break-points mentioned in the linked material.  Moreover, since the breakpoints are subjective, they cannot be included in the scientific discussion of series (as WP:ELMAYBE requires).

 * Tumblr provides a convenient CMS; a "blog" like you're talking about discusses personal material, not science.
 * Crasshopper (talk) 09:06, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

 * A blog can be on anything, which is part of the problem with them: they can range from only containing authoritative postings fit for publication (some are made into books) to personal nonsense, with everything in between. There are so many of them that that they would overwhelm many articles if added. And unlike say content in text books and peer reviewed journals there's no easy way to assess the quality or reliability of most of them. So the default is to exclude them. And that is before the other concerns, that your blog is largely promotional, even in the domain name, and that adding it yourself is a conflict of interest.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 15:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

 * You'll notice that I haven't re-added the link during this discussion. The blog title and domain name are going to change; the current status is a self-mocking holding name until I think of an actual name for it.  Eventually the content won't be in sequential "blog" format either.  But all of the decoration is irrelevant.  The math is correct, it's neutral, and it's useful to those who would be looking at Convergent series.  It's verifiable by anyone who has taken college calculus and does not need to appear in a journal.  You are welcome to judge a book by its cover if you wish, though.

Please do not add "new books coming out" until they have actually been published. the relevant policy is that Wikipedia is not a Crystal ball. Please be very careful with this article, for which there have been repeated concerns of promotionalism and NPOV. I am trying as an administrator to ensure that it is the strongest article that meets our rules; articles that list an excessive number of works, especially unpublished or minor works, do not give a strong impression. FWIW, I have no particular interest in him or his subject(s), one way or another, but I do quite a bit of work here making sure we do not descend into promotionalism.

Jacopo Saltarelli
Weasel words/Original research:   I'm having a bit of a problem with this. It was me who added the statement that the quoted author had "probably overlooked" the fact hat although "the "profession of model" didn't exist (if by "model" you mean clothes-horse), that there were artists' models, professional or not.  It can be reasonably presumed that when Saltarelli is described in literature as a "model", the sort referred to is an artists model, not a photographic or catwalk model.   However,the statement has been quoted and reliably refrenced. So, as an art historian who knows that artists used models, I either have to delete the referenced statement because, it is erroneous, or counter it with something that looks like mere opinion.

In your opinion, should I delete the stupidity, or turn my comment into a footnote, or simply state that what is meant is "artists' model"?

Amandajm (talk) 06:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

 * The only reason that it requires qualifying is that an editor has put into the article a statement that a particular author says that the "profession didn't exist". The statement has a reference.  Other books call him a "model".
 * The difficulty is that the statement that the "profession" of model didn't exist may well be true, but that doesn't mean that Saltarelli wasn't a model. He may not have been a "professional" prostitute any more than he was a "professional" model.  He seems to have been an apprentice goldsmith,  who earned a bit of money on the side.  Regardless of whether people modelled as  profession,  it is a fact that people modelled for artists and were almost certainly paid to do it. We know that Leonardo searched the streets of Milan, looking for someone to use as a model for Judas in the Last Supper.
 * I find this all a bit annoying. Saltarelli has virtually no entity except as someone who may or may not have solicited Leonardo, and a number of other people, for sex.  That is all we know.  He is entirely non-notable! The matter of whether he was or wasn't a professional model really isn't very important.
 * Amandajm (talk) 17:01, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Th word "profession/al" ought not be mentioned. Whether or not any type of modelling was perceived as a "profession" is a red herring.  Saltarelli could have modelled for artists and been paid for it on a purely casual basis.  To imply it was his "profession" discounts the fact that he seems to have been an apprentice goldsmith.  Regardless of whether he was a goldsmith, he could have modelled for artists on a purely casual basis. Whetehr the "profession" existed ought not to have been introduced to the article. It is irrelevant. Amandajm (talk) 14:34, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Please Help!

Recently, Tking 1974 added an "other uses" page to the "expense ratio" page that is very clearly for a term with an entirely different meaning, "operating expense ratio". Rather than just delete that particular edit, I added information that provided a very clear distinction between the terms "expense ratio" and "operating expense ratio". Mean as custard, in my opinion, improperly removed my contributions. Since operating expense ratio has a distinctly different definition, I believe either my edit should be reinstated, or the "other uses" section deleted entirely from that article.

Very clearly, at the very least, the additions I had provided should be included with the other uses section that was added....and possibly a new page with "operating expense ratio" as a title should be added.

Best of the Beach Boys Vol. 2

Best of The Beach Boys Vol. 2 is a compilation album by the American rock band the Beach Boys. It is a sequel to the previous year's hits package. It was compiled by Capitol Records after Brian Wilson had announced the shelving of Smile.

Best of The Beach Boys Vol. 2 initially flopped in the US, only reaching #50. The fact that Smile had been shelved two months earlier meant the group had no new material to release in time for the Summer of Love, although the music composed for that album was radical enough to have been part of it. Another commercial blunder came from their failure to appear at the Monterey International Pop Festival, which they had helped to organize and had been slated to headline as the closing act.

However, a reworked track list issued under the same title in the UK in late 1967 proved to be another big success. Like its predecessor, Best of The Beach Boys Vol. 2 is out of print.

Track listing
The Duophonic version of the album features true stereo mixes of "Long Tall Texan", "Don't Worry Baby" and "Little Saint Nick".

"Please Let Me Wonder" and "Little Saint Nick" do not appear on the cassette tape version.

Best of The Beach Boys Vol. 2 (Capitol (D) 2706) hit number 50 in the US during a 22-week tenure. In the UK, it reached number 3.

British version
The British version of Best of The Beach Boys Vol. 2 was released in mid-1967 with 14 songs, instead of the usual 12 found on American albums.

The following songs were found on the British version of Best of The Beach Boys Vol. 2:

 * Side A
 * 1) "Surfer Girl" – 2:26
 * 2) "Don't Worry Baby" – 2:51
 * 3) "Wendy" – 2:22
 * 4) "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)" – 2:02
 * 5) "Good to My Baby" – 2:16
 * 6) "Dance, Dance, Dance" – 1:58
 * 7) "Then I Kissed Her" – 2:15
 * Side B
 * 1) "The Girl from New York City" – 1:53
 * 2) "Girl Don't Tell Me" – 2:19
 * 3) "The Little Girl I Once Knew" – 2:36
 * 4) "Mountain of Love" – 2:47
 * 5) "Here Today" – 2:52
 * 6) "Wouldn't It Be Nice" – 2:22
 * 7) "Good Vibrations" – 3:35

Stavrovouni Monastery

Stavrovouni Monastery (Ιερά Μονή Σταυροβουνίου) is a Greek Orthodox monastery which stands on the top of a hill called Stavrovouni (Greek: Σταυροβούνι) in Cyprus; it is sometimes simply known as Stavrovouni. The monastery is one of the few places where one can see a piece of the Holy Cross. Stavrovouni Monastery was founded by Saint Helena and Saint Constantine c. AD 327–329.

Location
The monastery is located on the peak of the mountain of the same name (Stavrovouni) in the District of Larnaca. The mountain in earlier times had been known under the name of Olympus, but nowadays the highest point of the Troodos Mountains further to the west bears that name. Stavrovouni, as the name already indicates, is dedicated to the Holy Cross; it can be derived from two words 'stavros' (Greek: Σταυρός) for cross and 'vouno' (βουνό) for mountain, so that it basically means "the mountain of the Cross".

Establishment
According to religious tradition, the monastery was founded by St. Helena and Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. According to the 15th-century Cypriot chronicler Leontios Makhairas, after the end of the First Ecumenical Synod in Nicaea (325), Helena went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land when she discovered the three crosses on which Jesus and the two thieves had been crucified. She had them excavated and wanted to bring them to Constantinople, but she is said to have left one of these crosses in Cyprus during an involuntary visit caused by shipwreck. Religious history says that the Holy Cross was transferred by a miracle to the peak of a high hill overnight and that a strong light was coming out of that peak. After several unsuccessful attempts to get the Holy Cross out of that mountain, Helena decided to leave a piece there, and built a small chapel to accompany it.

Stavrovouni is therefore considered to be one of the oldest monasteries in the world; other ancient monasteries include Saint Athanasius (344), Saint Anthony (356), Saint Macarius (360), Saint Gabriel (Mor Gabriel) (397), Saint Euthymius (460), Saint Sabbas (Mar Saba) (483) and Saint Catherine, Sinai (565).

Relics
The most significant relic that Stavrovouni Monastery possesses is a piece of the Holy Cross, left at the monastery by Saint Helena. There are references which report that the Holy Cross used to stand in the air unsupported. Today, the remaining piece of the Cross is kept within a large, silver, cross-shaped reliquary. Other relics left at the monastery by Helena include the Cross of the Good Thief, one of the Holy Nails, and what is believed to be part of the rope that had bound Jesus to the Cross.

In addition, visitors will find two small chains which were worn by Saint Panaretos, Bishop of Paphos, during his life, and which were in direct contact with his body.

History
Stavrovouni is the earliest documented monastery on the island. The oldest written reference dates from the Byzantine period, and it proves that Stavrovouni had been an important religious centre since the 4th century. The relevant information can be found in the memoirs of a Russian traveler, Abbot Daniel, who stayed on Cyprus in 1106. He recorded that the Holy Cross was located on Mount Olympus with the objective of "warding off evil spirits and curing any illness", and he noted, "This cross is like a meteorite, it is not supported in the ground, because the Holy Ghost holds it in the empty space. I, unworthy man, knelt down before this holy, mysterious object and have seen with my own, sinful eyes the inherent holy grace present in this place."

After its foundation, Stavrovouni was occupied by Orthodox monks living according to the rule of St. Basil. We obtain further historical information from Western visitors to Cyprus in the 13th century. Willibrandi de Oldenburg, for example, visited Stavrovouni in 1211 and wrote, "The cross of the Good Thief is on the highest mountain in Cyprus" – which was incorrect, as Stavrovouni is not as high as the Troodos peak. Ludolph von Suchen noted in 1305, "The mountain is like the Mount Tabor on which the Benedictine monks live. From its peak one can see the Lebanon." This is true, but the weather must be very clear in order to verify this.

In its long history, Stavrovouni went through times of great poverty and hardship caused by the numerous invasions by foreigners on the island. Nowadays, the Holy Cross is no longer there and nobody knows what has happened to it. In 1598, the Bohemian nobleman Krystof Harant noted, "Nobody knows what the Turks have done with the Holy Cross." The walls, the church, the iconostasis, and the monks' cells in Stavrovouni were almost completely destroyed during a great fire in 1888. The only relic which has been preserved down to the present is a silver cross in which a minute piece of the Holy Cross is inserted, the only major reliquary which is still kept in Stavrovouni.

Recent history
The records suggest that the monastery had no monks for a period roughly between the 16th and the 19th century, a time when the Turks ruled the island. The monastery was abandoned from 1571; however, some hermits continued to live there. This fact was mentioned by Russian monk and pilgrim, Vasil Grigorovich-Barsky in the first half of the 18th century. At the end of the 19th century, Elder Dionysios A' moved to Stavrovouni from Mount Athos in 1889, and the monastery was in operation again. In 1890, three more Cypriot monks, again from Mount Athos, joined him at Stavrovouni: Fathers Varnavas – who would become the next Abbot – and his two brothers Kallinikos and Gregorios.

Following that, new monks entered the monastery, which grew larger and larger and soon became the spiritual center of the island of Cyprus. The monastery grew so much during the mid-20th century that it was in a position where it was able to send monks to other ruined monasteries to help their growth. For example, monks from Stavrovouni moved to the Monastery of Panagia Trooditissa in Troodos and created a new group. Other monks attempted to move to, and revive, the Monastery of Saint John the Baptist in Mesa Potamos in Limassol.

Most recent Abbots
Elder Dionysios A' served as the first Abbot until 1902, and then Elder Varnavas took over. The most recent Abbots are:

 * Elder Dionysios A' – 1889–1902
 * Elder Varnavas    – 1902–1948
 * Elder Dionysios B' – 1948–1952
 * Elder Germanos    – 1952–1982
 * Elder Athanasios  – 1982–2021
 * Elder Dionysios C'   – 2021 -present

Known monks
Stavrouvouni Monastery has been a center of spirituality and worship in Cyprus over the last century, as many spiritual monks made their homes there. Saint Filoumenos the Cypriot martyr, member of the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre, is one such important monk who started his monastic life at Stavrovouni. On the 16/29 November 1979, he died violently as a martyr at Jacob's Well, where he served as Superior. His twin brother Archimandrite Elpidios started his monastic life at Stavrovouni, as well.

The Hieromonk Kyprianos († 1955) is another significant figure who lived at Stavrovouni; he was known for his strict way of life and his helpful advice to the people of Cyprus. Archbishop Leontios of Cyprus (1896–1947) was staying at Stavrovouni for some period and was closely related with Hieromonk Kyprianos.

Today
Recently, the monastery underwent a complete renovation. Its small church was restored again with frescoes and icons by the well-known painter, Fr. Kallinikos, a monk from Stavrovouni. The legend of the foundation is recorded in these pictures: St. Helena in a brilliant red garment and the Finding of the True Cross in Jerusalem. (As an aside, the emperor's mother recognised that she had the true Holy Cross by the miraculous healing of a woman). Colourful, but also not without the skull painted beneath Christ's Cross for centuries is the Deposition. The majority of the frescoes in the church refer to the Cross and the life of St. Helena. In this manner, Stavrovouni is continuing the deeply rooted Byzantine painting tradition.

Services
Stavrovouni has a long tradition in icon painting and frescoes, and its most famous icon painter monk is Father Kallinikos. Even the first Abbot Dionysios A' was an icon painter, and there are several pieces of work by monks from Stavrovouni in the island. Apart from icon painting, the monks work in a number of other services, such as agriculture and production of aromatics for the church. Moreover, locals visit the monastery, especially on feast days, and follow the monks in their worship programme – in liturgy, vespers, etc.

Metochia
Metochia or Dependencies (Greek: Μετόχια) are small monasteries or chapels that belong to a main monastery. Stavrovouni has a number of metochia, of which the most well-known is Agia Varvara at the foot of Stavrovouni hill. Until some decades ago, most of the monks used to stay at this metochi as there was no water and electricity at the top of the hill, and only two or three monks would stay at the top. Other metochia are Panagia Stazousa and Agios Modestos, which are located between the villages of Pyrga and Klavdia. Today, monks at Agia Varvara work as icon painters and in agriculture, whereas monks at the other two metochia concentrate more on prayers and live more closely to a hermitic life.

At present, monks in Stavrovouni live a very strict form of monastic life, similar to that of the monks on Mount Athos. The rule of their first abbot, Dionysios I, forms the basis of this. Women are not allowed to enter the main part of the monastery, but they are allowed to visit the chapel out of it on the top of the hill. They are also allowed to visit the Metochi Agia Varvara at the foot of the hill only on Sundays. This rule is called avato (Greek: άβατο, meaning: entry is prohibited), and it is analogous to the strict life of monks in Mount Athos where women are not allowed to enter. This rule is applied in order to keep the monks isolated and living a stricter way of life.

Today, there are over 30 monks in Stavrovouni Monastery, and the current Abbot is Elder Dionysios.

Richer Sounds

Richer Sounds is a British home entertainment retailer that operates through a chain of 50 stores and online, mainly in England. The business was 100% owned by Julian Richer, the founder and managing director of the company, who in 2019 sold 60% of its shares to an employee ownership trust.

History of the business
Richer Sounds formally began trading in 1978 when Richer, then aged 19, opened his first shop near London Bridge, with the help of photography retailer Vic Odden. This shop established the record for highest sales per square foot of any retail outlet in the world in 1994, a record still current in 2023 according to the Guinness Book of Records.

In November 2013, Julian Richer announced to the press that, upon his death, he would bequeath 100% of the firm to a trust co-owned by employees of the company. In May 2019 Richer, then aged 60, announced that he had transferred ownership to employees by passing 60% of his shares to a trust, as well as separately paying each of his over 500 employees, excluding directors, from his own pocket a thank you bonus of £1,000 for every year of work, a total of about £4 million, as the employees had worked for an average of 8 years each.

Awards and recognition
In January 2011, Richer Sounds received a Royal Warrant.

Richer Sounds won several Which? 'Retailer of the Year' or 'Best Retailer' awards, including for 2010, 2011, 2015, 2018 2019, 2021, and 2022.
