Why is it banned in Malaysia?
That is stupid. Why would someone ban Babe? Ollie the Magic Skater 03:28, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Because the majority of Malaysia is Muslim, and pigs are seen as evil in Islam. 71.31.151.100 (talk 01:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Can someone provide proof this movie was banned? Like how Memoirs Of A Geisha has a reason why it was banned in China!

24.92.41.95 (talk) 05:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It does have proof that it was banned.Look on its imdb profile,and in the section of the article titled "Reception".I agree,though,that it shouldn't be banned because the people should be free to make their own desicions,but I'm not in charge of Malaysia.Both Babe movies are banned,and while I think Babe I is an awesome movie,Babe II should be banned 'cause it's too scary for kids and too boring for adults.And by "too",I mean "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tttttttttooooooooooooooooooooooooo".Plus,Babe II is horrirble,nothing like the original.But that's not why movies are banned,because it's just personal opinion.MY opinion.

Cargill ad

 * Is a recent Cargill ad based on Babe? I see some parallels. WizardDuck 05:16, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

What is the location of the showground?
What is the location of the showground with its ornate victorian grandstand it looks a really nice location. It should be mentioned in the article. Lumos3 (talk) 14:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Possible cleanup/touching up?
This article is informative, but it seems very... dumbed-down. Albino Bebop (talk) 06:54, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I just completed an extensive makeover on this article, not seeing at first the Plot Summary revisions request as a typo - "Ma" - had instantly had caught my eye and I immediately set to such a cleanup of an article about one of my most-loved movies. As well, now seeing this opinion of it, I am in agreement. The very first 2 lines [now Rolled Into One] shouted "clumsy"

[Babe is a 1995 family film that tells the story of a pig of the same name. In this film Babe wants to be a sheep dog.

Babe is a 1995 family film that tells the story of a pig who wants to be a sheepdog.]

and I endeavored to improve that throughout, watching the movie in order to ensure complete plot-summary accuracy and not just correcting any typos. Lines like

Mr. and Mrs. Hoggett are seen talking about Christmas dinner

and

When Mrs. Hoggett leaves town [implying she's gone for good]

just had to go. In redoing the plot summary I hope I did make it more concise as requested, although "overly detailed" to me is more subjective; I removed some things but added a few others! Redbone360619 (talk) 10:19, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Add "In Popular Culture" to Babe?
I can't believe that no-one has put this in.

I'm watching Shrek I, and at 33:30, when Shrek has finished forcing Donkey across a rickety rope bridge, he says "That'll do Donkey. That'll do."

This is a direct allusion to the point in Babe where Hogget says "That'll do, Pig. That'll do."

Further research...all right, Google search...shows that Gilmore Girls had an episode titled "That'll Do Pig" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0588198/) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nuaho (talk • contribs) 04:31, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You can't believe it, because they don't belong. Unless you add a third-party citation noting the connection to Babe, it's original research, and thus will be deleted. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 13:21, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

DVD
BRIAN OVERTON: Hi. I own the Babe DVD. It's from 1997-1998. I got it at the Hollywood Video in 1498 Metropolitan Ave that is closing. The box says 1998 but the disc says 1997. Put the 1997-1998 DVD in the list of releases on the Babe article. Pleez. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.119.71 (talk) 19:14, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

animatronic
Where is the source that some of the animals were animatronic. If no one can give proof of this I will take this off. trainfan01 —Preceding undated comment added 01:54, 8 May 2010 (UTC).

Also what happened to the popular culture section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trainfan01 (talk • contribs) 14:21, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've added a cite for an animatronic pig being used, and I see no sign in history of a popular culture section, so I'm afraid I can't answer that question. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:40, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

re-wording
I have re-worded the following info "Babe is a 1995 family film that tells the story of a pig who wants to be a sheepdog" to "Babe is a 1995 family film that tells the story of pig of the same name. In this film Babe wants to be a sheepdog." The first one is too short while the second one explains it better. trainfan01 —Preceding undated comment added 04:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC).

Lions Club Booth
The pig is held at, and first meets Farmer Hoggett, a Lions Club booth at the fair. The fair's location is not mentioned, but the booth itself is specifically established. I have inserted this fact of the movie but it was removed. What was the reason for removing this?
 * How is the fact that it's a Lions Club booth relevant to the plot? Would the film be any different if it was a Masonic Lodge booth, or an Elks Club booth, or a Rotary Club booth? Detail in the Plot section should be limited to what's needed to understand the film. Doniago (talk) 13:56, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

It is no less relevant to the plot than the breed of dog that chases Babe from the thieves, or the fact that Fly is a Boarder Collie. The director of the film saw fit to establish the booth in his story-telling. It was, by his direction, included in the movie rather than simply having a generic booth. One must assume, then, that it was an element of importance (especially since Boarder Collie and Australian Sheep Dog are never action mentioned in the movie at all). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Southern Forester (talk • contribs) 00:14, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You're making a better argument for removing the items you bring up from the Plot summary than you are for including the Lions Club. Directors do many things with their films, many of them are not important to the plot. Assuming an element is important without specific evidence from reliable sources constitutes original research, and makes the item inappropriate for inclusion in the article. Please stop adding this material unless you can provide a better argument for how it is essential to understanding the film's plot, you appear to be edit warring. Doniago (talk) 15:02, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I only added what you kept removing. You also kept adding back as well. It takes two to edit war. You did not see it fit for my inclusion. I did. I contributed to the greater body of knowledge. By removing the inclusions, the greater body has been diminished. Is the article more, or less, complete now?

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Southern Forester (talk • contribs) 23:36, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The article is improved by removing information irrelevant to understanding the plot from the Plot section. Does that answer your question? Additionally, it's not EW when multiple editors agree that edits are inappropriate. I am not the only person who reversed your addition. Doniago (talk) 16:33, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Maybe it was a Lion's Club booth because the director or someone else is a Lion. I don't see where it matters Kielhofer 02:33, 12 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kielhofer (talk • contribs)

Australian Cattle Dog reference removed.
Nowhere in the movie, nor credits, is "Australian Cattle Dog" mentioned and there is no credible source to which a reference of the dog's breed used being tied to the movie. The reference to the Australian Cattle Dog was removed and changed to simply "dog" because it is not relevant to the plot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Southern Forester (talk • contribs) 23:52, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Works for me. Doniago (talk) 16:34, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Accents
Were separate versions released with Australian accents and American accents, or was it released worldwide with the "overdubbing" of American accents? The article seems kind of ambiguous regarding this and it would be nice to make it clearer if anyone knows. -- Dougie WII (talk) 10:21, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * A production decision was taken early on not to locate the film in any specific country or area, and the use of accents reflects this. The actors mostly use their own accents which are a mixture of American, Australian and British. The production design similarly mixes images of American, Australian and British small farm rural life. This works surprisingly well. The article could do with a Production section covering this sort of stuff, but I don't have the knowledge to add it. --Ef80 (talk) 15:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't work at all. What we have is an English book made into a film in Australia.  The setting looks more or less English; but of course due to Coca-Colonisation, mostly actors from an irrelevant country (the US) are chosen so that poor little American moviegoers won't judge the film to be foreign and thus unwatchable.  It's American culture being viral, in the worst possible sense of the term.  Correctrix (talk) 08:30, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * @Correctrix - Citation needed.
 * Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 16:33, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Reception
Does the last paragraph in the reception section really need to be included? It's without source, is poorly written, and is speculative and full of OR.70.248.186.47 (talk) 05:45, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

In Reception the article mentions that James Cromwell organized a vegetarian dinner for the "Los Angeles homeless". Was this for the City of Los Angeles homeless or for the Downtown Los Angeles homeless? 21 August 2016 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.30.211.65 (talk) 15:14, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Soundtrack
This article needs a proper soundtrack section. The recent anon. edits were an attempt in that direction, but had too much trivial information, and was not formatted properly. Such a section is needed, though, and we should discuss that here, rather than on user talkpages. --- The Old Jacobite The '45  17:08, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I was the anon who created the recent edits, and I'd love to see them used in some proper fashion. My motivation was to share the source of the song that the farmer watches on TV, since I just came across that piece ten years later. I'm not sure how to create a soundtrack section, though. But it is needed for this article. Any advice would be appreciated. - Kevin 147.9.136.251 (talk) 17:29, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

I should have checked in here before restoring the soundtrack details. While I don't agree with User:TheOldJacobite that the information in the former version was trivial, his objection to its list format was worth noting. But no less than four quotations from 19th century French orchestral works are a good deal more than trivial. If someone could find a referenceable comment on the sophisticated use of popular orchestral soundbites, and the way these link to much the same thing in piano accompaniments to silent films, I'd be grateful. To say as much unsupported would count as original research. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 18:51, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * First off, Kevin, why don't you create yourself an account? You'd be much easier to contact, it's easier for you to contribute, and you'd have more standing in the community. Secondly, I've created the necessary track listings and put them in a subspace on my user account. You'll note that there are note sections on each of the listings, and none are filled in. I generally use these to write a little about the annoying lines added over the top of the music (see here, the notes appear as small, bracketed text). I've also not added the writer element, as I don't think it's particularly necessary in this case. You'd probably need to write a little about the release of the soundtrack, its availability, media, and reception (if you can find it). I don't personally have a copy, hence my leaving blank the more detailed sections, but it means someone will have to fill in the gaps (it can go live without some bits, but the more detailed, the better). Anyway, feel free to use the space it inhabits to build the section up collaboratively, I'll dip in as and when I have something to contribute. If you want any more advice on the semantics of constructing a soundtrack section, feel free to stick a message on my talk page. drewmunn talk 17:43, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * As you've been putting it back into place, I've dragged the track listing out of my archive and stuck it in one of my sandboxes (here, in fact). If you want to bring it up to scratch and add it, feel free. drewmunn talk 19:50, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Drewmunn. I'd come across that list online, as well as this site offering long excerpts. There isn't much more that one can say (unsupported, anyway) about the original score. The attraction seems to me the use made of allusion and that's noted by IMDB and also listed at the very end of the CD. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 22:15, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As you mentioned IMDb, I should point out that it's not considered a reliable source. Happy editing. Doniago (talk) 05:29, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. It's a pity since the IMDB soundtrack information appears to have been taken directly from the CD. I have substituted the reference to that and placed it at the end of the section. The point made in the guidelines about IMDB using nonstandard Chinese transliteration is tendentious. I just spent six months in Taiwan, where no less than four systems were in use. Personally I was happy with Wade-Giles in the past and can see no advance or merit in pinyin. How seriously can you take a system in which two varieties of 'sh' are transliterated as 'x' and 'q'? Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 08:38, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I've removed a couple of items that were added regarding songs that play during the movie. Without third-party sourcing this constitutes trivia. It may also be worth reviewing WP:IPC. Happy editing. Doniago (talk) 20:09, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Recent edits
Could User:Sweetpool50 please outline his or her objections to my recent additions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.244.124 (talk) 18:56, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Editing WP is a co-operative venture. It is considered courteous to leave a summary for every edit, per WP:ES
 * 2) Messages on talk pages and elsewhere should always be signed, per WP:SIG. This is easily done by typing in four tildes (~) after the message. Failure to do so gives the impression that editors don't know what they're doing.
 * 3) The edits came to above 700 words, which are the absolute maximum wording per WP:FILMPLOT. There was a message at the head of the section clearly stating this requirement.
 * 4) For a summary to be useful, it should detail what is being done and why.
 * 5) Changing to a different server to make the same edits gives the impression of deviousness and warrior behaviour and makes it difficult to assume good faith.
 * If the editor cares to discuss how their changes would improve this article, naturally they will be considered. Sweetpool50 (talk) 19:45, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

 * I believe my wording improved the plot summary. Do you have any specific objections to what was added? Do you object to including a review of the movie by Roger Ebert ? It's pretty common on film articles to mention him.

 * Edit summaries are not mandatory. Per WP:NOTVAND, lack of an edit summary is not considered vandalism and is not grounds for removing an edit. Automatically removing every edit you see that didn't have a summary is not helpful to anyone. It could even be considered disruptive or encouraging edit wars.

 * It is also courteous to provide a valid reason for removing another's edits. If you use no edit summary as your reason (which you do a lot, looking through your history) then there is no way of knowing whether you were justified or not.

 * Neither you nor the other editor mentioned the plot word count until you were called out on your actions. Bringing this up now makes it seem like an ex post facto justification. Incidentally, my edits took it ten words over the limit. However, if it's that big a deal then I daresay I can find ten words to take out.

 * Finally, I cannot change my IP address. If anything, introducing the same edits with a very similar IP address is the opposite of deviousness since it was obviously the same editor. The other address was not blocked, so there was no reason to change it anyway. Perhaps you should assume good faith.

86.146.244.124 (talk) 20:36, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

 * If all you're going to do is assert your rightness, and the needlessness of supplying edit summaries, what is the point of discussing matters here? It doesn't contribute to improving WP. Sweetpool50 (talk) 22:22, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Then to put it another way, if I resubmitted my edits with a summary, what would your objection be? 86.146.244.124 (talk) 22:30, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

 * While you were writing the above I looked at the changes and found most of the early ones restored the article to an earlier clarity. I've pasted most of them in, except for "wild" qualifying dog near the end of the penultimate para, which is needless reptition after the earlier mention of feral dogs. A lot of the additions to the final para seemed unnecessarily detailed and unbalancing. The second and third tranche of later changes struck me as WP:OVERLINK. Can we agree so far? Sweetpool50 (talk) 22:48, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. How about Ebert's review of the movie? 86.146.244.124 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 23:03, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I missed that; it was one of the cases where a summary would have been helpful. You could mention Ebert's award of stars, I suppose, but much more is not too useful now the film's popularity is undisputed and continues to score among Rotten Tomatoes critics. Ebert didn't get his details right, either; the film is NOT set in Australia, location is left deliberately vague. Now we've moved a quarter century on, a more contemporary assessment is what to look for, don't you think? Sweetpool50 (talk) 11:03, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

First-billed starring actor nominated for best supporting actor
You reverted my recent edit "per WP:RS". Could you expand on that? Do you feel that there's something unreliable about a person speaking to their own motivations in an interview? – Reidgreg (talk) 22:18, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The 'footnote' struck me as the kind of tenuously relevant trivia you find on IMDb - and in fact it is mentioned there under that heading! It's gossip, not encyclopedic, and the source of the interview did not strike me as any more reliable than IMDb, hence WP:RS. Sweetpool50 (talk) 04:07, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The source, Victoria Ahearn, wrote that as a journalist with The Canadian Press (the piece was carried by a number of newspapers); she has also served as an editor of Playback (magazine). She's the real deal and she's used as a source in 232 Wikipedia articles. It's an interview and clearly not gossip. I will note WP:HTRIVIA: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, so some degree of selectivity should always be used, but the criteria for inclusion are complex, because the "importance" of a fact is subjective. It is not reasonable to disallow all information that some editors feel is unimportant, because that information could be important to some readers. I think 'tenuously relevant' is still relevant, and contextually relevant trivia is encyclopedic, so are you okay with it going back into the article? – Reidgreg (talk) 06:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No, I'm not. You replied before I got round to amplifying my reasons. The way you've worded the note, it's about the actor's feelings about his place in the pecking order. As such, that more properly belongs in the article about the actor himself and, as well as lacking WP:RELEVANCE, is definitely WP:OFFTOPIC in an article about the film as an 'artistic' creation. Furthermore, your source is only available to subscribers to ProQuest and is not therefore verifiable. Sweetpool50 (talk) 08:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No comment on the other arguments being discussed, but a source only being available to subscribers does not mean it isn't verifiable. Please see WP:PAYWALL. DonIago (talk) 13:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Is it okay for me to reply now? I wouldn't want to interrupt you.
 * I prefer to use ProQuest (and other WP:LIBRARY partners, to which you should have access) for research to avoid ads, but I easily found a version of the article online here. They may have been edited a little differently but it looks like the important parts are there.
 * What if we expand it with mention of his personally funded $60k Oscar campaign alongside his $50k acting fee? That gives context to why he was unhappy with what he was paid. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:03, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The more you argue your case, the clearer it becomes you're wandering off-topic and that the proper place for your suggested additions is in the article on Cromwell, in particular here. Please take it there and leave this article to concentrate the film. Sweetpool50 (talk) 18:28, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Summary
This dispute regards the inclusion of additional information about James Cromwell's Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Specifically, why he was nominated for supporting rather than lead actor, and perhaps additional contextual information regarding why he was unhappy with his salary (according to an interview, the studio did not contribute toward his Oscar campaign which cost more than his salary). (source)

On the inclusion side, I believe that his supporting actor nom begs further explanation and am told that this is a fairly unusual situation (see responses at the reference desk). I believe it fits here in the context of the nomination, the film's promotion, and alongside the film's other nominations.

On the exclusion side, stated reasons include: unreliable source, unverifiable source, that an anonymous editor at IMDb classified it as trivia, and that it is gossip, irrelevant, and off-topic.

Requesting a third opinion. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Cavite's location in relation to Manila and Manila Bay ensured it a prominent place in the nation's past; historical markers can be found throughout the province. It is believed that the Chinese were mooring their junks and trading at Sangley Point, on the tip of Cavite Peninsula, by the early 13th century. From here, they crossed to the Pasig River and Laguna de Bay. Sangley is said to be an adaptation of seng-li or xang-li ("trader" in the Amoy Chinese dialect). Cavite was only lightly populated when the Spanish arrived. They founded what is now Cavite City in 1571 and fortified it against Moro raiders. Encomiendas were granted and Cavite was designated a politico-military province in 1614. It became a Jesuit stronghold. During the 17th century, Cavite City developed as a center for shipbuilding and naval operations. Giant molave trees from the forests around Paete were floated across Laguna de Bay, down the Pasig River, and across Manila Bay to Cavite, where many of the great Manila galleons were built. Cavite City was attacked by the Dutch in 1647, and British landed here during their 1762 invasion.

The Revolution

Cavite played a crucial role in the struggle for independence. The 1872 mutiny of about 200 native soldiers and workers in Cavite City's arsenal in which they killed their Spanish officers, was swiftly suppressed, but it led to the unjust implication and execution of the Filipino priests Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora. This incident helped focus and inflame the native desire to be free of the colonial yoke, and the province was among the first to rise in the arms in 1896. Cavite produced many revolutionary leaders and saw much action. The small, flamboyant General Emilio Aguinaldo (1869-1964) of Kawit came to prominence when he led the Katipuneros in taking Kawit, Binakayan, and several other settlements. His success made Cavite the focal point of the revolution. Rivalry between Aguinaldo and Bonifacio became intense after a split in revolutionary ranks between factions of loyal to one or the other. Bonifacio's headquarters was at Imus and Aguinaldo's at what is now General Trias. After conciliatory attempts failed, Bonifacio and his brother were arrested by the Aguinaldo group, taken to Maragondon, tried, and condemned for sedition by a revolutionary military court. They were executed on Mt. Buntis, outside Maragondon. After this, the revolutionaries' disunity, compounded by a lack of arms and supplies, enable the Spaniards to recapture town after town and regain control of Cavite. Aguinaldo was forced to retreat to Bulacan, and after the Pact of Biak-na-Bato, he was exiled to Hong Kong, but returned after U. S. Commodore Dewey had destroyed the Spanish fleet off Cavite's coast. Aguinaldo landed at Cavite on 19 May 1898 and, believing that the Americans had come as liberators, he urged Filipinos to rise in support. They routed the Spanish forces throughout most of Luzon. Aguinaldo's home in Kawit was the site of the declaration of Philippine Independence on 12 June 1898. Bacoor was briefly the capital of the revolutionary government before it moved to Malolos.

The Twentieth Century

Meanwhile, the first US expeditionary force debarked at Cavite as the Americans moved to take control of the country. Sangley Point became the chief naval base and coaling station of the U. S. Fleet in Asian waters. These installations and the city's strategic position made Cavite a key Japanese target during the 1941 invasion. U. S. Troops parachuted onto Tagaytay Ridge to join others who had landed at Nasugbu (Batangas) before advancing north to liberate Manila.

Robert Mann

Robert Nathaniel Mann (July 19, 1920 – January 1, 2018) was a violinist, composer, conductor, and founding member of the Juilliard String Quartet, as well as a faculty member at the Manhattan School of Music. Mann, the first violinist at Juilliard, served on the school's string quartet for over fifty years until his retirement in 1997.

Mann played and performed on many instruments, including those made by Antonio Stradivari and John Young. Mann was the subject of a 2014 documentary, titled Speak the Music.

Early life
Mann was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. His father worked as a tailor and a grocer. Mann began his study of the violin at age nine; at 13, he was accepted into the class of Edouard Hurlimann, concertmaster of the Portland Symphony. He attended the Portland Youth Philharmonic, but had planned to become a forest ranger in his youth.

In 1938, at the age of eighteen, he moved to New York City to enroll in the Juilliard School, where he studied violin with Edouard Dethier, composition with Bernard Wagenaar and Stefan Wolpe, and conducting with Edgar Schenkman. Mann won the prestigious Naumburg Competition in 1941 and made his New York debut two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Shortly after his graduation from Juilliard, he was drafted into the US Army.

Career at Juilliard
At the invitation of Juilliard's president, William Schuman, Mann founded the Juilliard String Quartet in 1946 and served as the ensemble's first violinist until his retirement from the quartet in 1997. The quartet, which celebrated its golden jubilee during the 1996–97 season, had played approximately 5,000 concerts and performed more than 600 works, including some 100 premieres. Its discography includes recordings of more than 100 compositions. They have received three Grammy awards for their recordings.

Mann composed more than 30 works for narrator with various instruments that he performed with his wife, the actress Lucy Rowan; several have been recorded on the Musical Heritage label. He also composed a Fantasy for Orchestra performed by Dimitri Mitropoulos with the New York Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, and at the Salzburg Festival; a Duo for Violin and Piano premiered at Carnegie Hall by Itzhak Perlman and Samuel Sanders; and a string quartet included in the repertoires of both the La Salle and the Concord string quartets. Other works include a Duo for Cello and Piano written for Joel Krosnick and Gilbert Kalish, a Concerto for Orchestra, and "Lament" for two solo violas and orchestra.

Robert Mann's solo discography includes Béla Bartók's Solo Violin Sonata, the Sonata No. 1 for violin and piano, and Contrasts; Beethoven's complete violin sonatas (with pianist Stephen Hough); many of Mozart's violin sonatas, with pianist Yefim Bronfman; and Elliott Carter's Duo for Violin and Piano, with Christopher Oldfather.

Mann conducted throughout his professional career; he led the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a Peter Bartók recording of Béla Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 1. He made his public debut as a conductor with the Seattle Symphony during the 1988-89 season, and conducted Mozart's Jupiter Symphony the following season in New York City.

Other work
As a mentor to younger generations of string musicians, Mann worked intensively with the Alexander, American, Concord, Emerson, New World, Mendelssohn, Tokyo, Brentano, Lark, and St. Lawrence strings quartets, as well as with members of the Cleveland String Quartet and other ensembles. In later years, he expanded his teaching to include violin majors at the Juilliard School. Among his students were Juliette Kang, who won the Indianapolis International Violin Competition in 1994, and Mark Steinberg, the first violinist of the Brentano String Quartet.

Founder and first artistic director of the Ravinia Stean's Institute for Young Artists at Chicago's Ravinia Festival, Mann also served as chairman of the Chamber Music Panel of the National Endowment for the Arts. He was a member of the board of directors of the New York Philharmonic, and president of the Walter W. Naumburg Foundation. In 1990, Mann was honored as the recipient of the Chamber Music America Service Award and the annual award of the American String Teachers Association. He received honorary doctorates from the Manhattan School of Music, Oberlin College, Michigan State University, Earlham College, Jacksonville University, and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

Mann's son, Nicholas, a violinist and violist with whom the senior Mann often played duo recitals, is a founding member of the Mendelssohn String Quartet. His daughter, Lisa Mann, is a psychologist. Aerospace and biomedical engineering entrepreneur Alfred E. Mann is his brother.

In recognition of his contributions to the arts, Robert Mann was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in April 1996.

Mann died on January 1, 2018.

Valnoctamide

Valnoctamide (INN, USAN) has been used in France as a sedative-hypnotic since 1964. It is a structural isomer of valpromide, a valproic acid prodrug; unlike valpromide, however, valnoctamide is not transformed into its homologous acid, valnoctic acid, in vivo.

Indications
In addition to being a sedative, valnoctamide has been investigated for use in epilepsy.

It was studied for neuropathic pain in 2005 by Winkler et al., with good results: it had minimal effects on motor coordination and alertness at effective doses, and appeared to be equally effective as gabapentin.

RH Belmaker, Yuly Bersudsky and Alex Mishory started a clinical trial of valnoctamide for prophylaxis of mania in lieu of the much more teratogenic valproic acid or its salts.

Side effects
The side effects of valnoctamide are mostly minor and include somnolence and the slight motor impairments mentioned above.

Interactions
Valnoctamide is known to increase through inhibition of epoxide hydrolase the serum levels of carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, the active metabolite of carbamazepine, sometimes to toxic levels.

Chemistry
Valnoctamide is a racemic compound with four stereoisomers, all of which were shown to be more effective than valproic acid in animal models of epilepsy and one of which [(2S,3S]-valnoctamide) was considered to be a good candidate by Isoherranen, et al. for an anticonvulsant in August 2003.

Butabarbital can be hydrolyzed to Valnoctamide.

Kumam people

The Kumam people are a Nilotic ethnic group of about 349,000 living mainly in the western areas of Teso sub-region and the south-east of Lango sub-region. The Kumam are an ethnic group of people found in Kaberamaido district, district in Eastern Uganda. They share Soroti district with the Iteso and some parts of formerly Lira district with the Langi. In the Lango region, they are now found in Dokolo district which was detached from Lira District. They are found at the shores of Lake Kyoga (Namasale). In Soroti district, they are found in Serere, Asuret, Kamuda, katine, Soroti city, Arapai as well as the outskirts of Soroti district neighboring Kaberamaido.

They speak Kumam language similar to the language spoken by the Lango, with some Ateso vocabulary.

Origin
The Kumam descend from the early fishing, agricultural, and herding communities of Ethiopia. Who migrated southwards towards Uganda because of land pressure around the 17th century. Today, they live on the shores of Lake Kyoga in the districts of Serere, Soroti and Kaberamaido

Kumam traditions say are part of the Iteso people. They probably lost their Eastern Nilotic Ateker language and took up the Western Nilotic Luo spoken by their Lango and Acholi neighbours – due to prolonged contact and intermarriages. The Kumam must have preceded the ITeso in migration and settled in Soroti later hence, the Karimojong people from whom Iteso came know Soroti by the name 'Solot' and not teso.This points to the possibility of a later migration after iteso from Karamoja.

Political set-up
The Kumam had political structure under clan leaders known as wegi Atekerin. Other people of importance in the society were wegi ikodeta Cel (leaders of dancing groups), and leaders of Asonya(ancient) homes, wegi Cel. The wegi Cel were in most cases Dogolan or Odonge ikekoros (heads of part of a clan descending form one man). These clan leaders were responsible for the maintenance of law and order as well as general administration. They arbitrated in matters of politics and social affairs.

Social set-up
Music, dance and story telling played a big part in kumam lifestyle. At any time music would be made, at various functions, such as ceremonial, religious and political functions. In the evening, the old people would narrate stories to the younger generation as part of the oral traditions.

Marriage
Previously, the parents would arrange marriages for their children. Girls would be betrothed to boys at an early age. In effect, the young girl would become wife to a respective boy but she would wait to be officially handed over when she came of age. In some cases, the young girls so betrothed would be taken to the boy's home to grow up there. When she came of age, a ceremony would be organized to formalize the relationship. With time however the system changed. Today, the boy goes looking for a girl and without the consent of the parents and sneak with her to his home at night. After a week or so, the girl's relatives would begin to look for her. Obviously they had some prior knowledge of her whereabouts. On discovery, a fine would be exacted from the boy. Arrangements would be made to settle the bride wealth and the marriage would be formalized.

Ahilyabai Holkar

Ahilyabai Holkar (31 May 1725 – 13 August 1795), also spelled Ahalya Bai, was the Rani of Indore, within the Maratha Confederacy. She established Maheshwar (in Madhya Pradesh) as the seat of the Holkar Dynasty.

After the demise of her husband Khande Rao Holkar and father-in-law Malhar Rao Holkar, Ahilyabai herself undertook the affairs of the Holkar dynasty. She defended the Malwa state against intruders and personally led armies into battle, with the Tukoji Rao Holkar as her military commander. She was also known for the construction of various Hindu temples and Dharmashalas across the Indian Subcontinent. She was also known for breaking traditional gender rules 18th Century in India.

Early life
Ahilyabai was born into a Marathi Hindu family to Mankoji Shinde and Sushila Shinde in the Chaundi village (present-time Ahmednagar district) of Maharashtra, where her father, Mankoji Shinde, a scion of a respectable Dhangar (Gadariya) family, served as the Patil. Although women did not go to school back then, Ahilyabai's father taught her to read and write.

According to a legend, she rose to prominence when Malhar Rao Holkar, a commander in the army of Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao and ruler of Malwa, stopped in Chandi on his way to Pune and saw the eight-year-old Ahilya at a temple service in the village. Impressed by her piety and character, Malhar's son, Khande Rao Holkar, married Ahilya on the Peshwa's advice. She married Khande Rao in 1733. Ahilya accompanied Khande Rao on many campaigns. Throughout her married life, she was brought up by her mother-in-law, Gautama Bai, who is credited today for the values instilled in Ahilya. She trained her in administration, accounts, and politics, and eventually handed over her Khasgi Jagir in 1759.

In 1754, Khande Rao, alongside his father Malhar Rao Holkar, laid the siege of Kumher fort of Jat Raja Suraj Mal of Bharatpur on request of support from Imad-ul-Mulk and the Mughal emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur's general Mir Bakhshi. Suraj Mal had sided with the Mughal emperor's rebellious wazir Safdar Jang. Khande Rao was inspecting his troops in an open palanquin during the battle when a cannonball fired from the Jat army hit him, leading to his death. After the death of her husband, Ahilyabai was stopped by her father-in-law from committing sati. After the demise of her husband, she was trained in military affairs by Malhar Rao Holkar.

Ascent
After her husband Khande Rao's death, Ahilyabai had given up all desires of life and decided to perform Sati to accompany her husband at his funeral pyre. People requested her not to commit Sati, but she said her husband had pledged to accompany her lifelong, and now he has left midway. When she had made up her mind to perform Sati and was not relenting, it was finally her father-in-law Malhar Rao who made fervent emotional appeals to stop her. He said:  "'Daughter, my son left me whom I raised with a hope that he would support me in my old age. Now, will you also leave me, an old man, alone to be drowned in the fathomless ocean? ... Will you also leave me without any support? Still, if you don't want to change your mind, let me die first.'"Malhar Rao Holkar died in 1766, 12 years after the death of his son Khande Rao. Malhar Rao's grandson and Khande Rao's only son Male Rao Holkar became the ruler of Indore in 1766, under Ahilyabai's regency, but he too died within few months in April 1767. Ahilyabai became the ruler of Indore after the death of her son with Khande Rao.

A letter to her from Malhar Rao in 1765 illustrates the trust he had in her ability when sending her on a military expedition to Gwalior with a huge artillery: "'...proceed to Gwalior after crossing the Chambal. You may halt there for four or five days. You should keep your big artillery and arrange for its ammunition as much as possible... The big artillery should be kept at Gwalior and you should proceed further after making proper arrangements for expenses for a month. On the march you should arrange for military posts to be located for protection of the road.'" This letter clearly shows that not only was Ahilyabai militarily trained, she was also considered capable enough to run civil and military affairs. When Ahmad Shah Durrani invaded Punjab in 1765, Malhar Rao was busy fighting the Abdali-Rohilla army in Delhi. During the same time, Ahilyabai captured the Gohad fort (near Gwalior).

Already trained to be a ruler, Ahilyabai petitioned Peshwa Madhav Rao I after Malhar Rao and her son's death to grant her the administration of the Holkar dynasty. Some in Malwa objected to her assumption of rule, but the Holkar faction of Maratha army sided with her. The Peshwa granted her permission on 11 December 1767, with subhedar Tukoji Rao Holkar (Malhar Rao's adopted son) as her military head. She proceeded to rule Malwa in the most enlightened manner, even reinstating a Brahmin who had previously opposed her. Ahilyabai paid regular visits to her subjects, being always accessible to anyone needing her help.

Conflict with Dewan Gangadhar Rao
Following the death of Male Raao Holkar, Gangadhar Rao, Malhar Rao Holkar's dewan, believing Ahilyabai to be a weak powerless widow, tried to usurp royal authority for himself by requesting Ahilyabai to adopt him as her son and grant all administrative power to him but she promptly refused to do so. Gangadhar Rao then orchestrated a rebellion against her and instigated Raghunathrao, uncle of Peshwa Madhavrao, to attack the Holkar domain of Indore. On coming to know about the encampment of Raghunathrao's army at the banks of the river Shipra through her spies, Ahilyabai immediately despatched letters to compatriots of her late father-in-law, Mahadji Scindia and Damaji Rao Gaekwad, asking for assistance and assembled the Holkar army with the help of Tukoji. The Bhonsales of Nagpur sent their armies to assist her and Peshwa Madhavrao authorised Ahilyabai to take offensive action against Raghunathrao. Ahilyabai herself went to the battlefield with her female bodyguards to face Raghunathrao. Seeing Ahilyabai's courage, Raghunathrao was frightened and retreated back stating that he had just come to offer condolence to Ahilyabai for the death of Male Rao. Gangadhara Rao was kept under house-arrest before being reinstated back to his former position. The conflict between Ahilyabai and Dewan Gangadhar Rao had significant political and personal implications. Ahilyabai's victory helped her to establish her authority over the kingdom, but the conflict also strained her relationship with Gangadhar Rao, who was her trusted advisor and confidant.

Clashes with Rajputs
Ahilyabai defended her realms from Rajput raids in the aftermath of the Rajputs defeating the Maratha army led by Mahadji Scindia at the battle of Lalsot.

Among Ahilyabai's accomplishments was the transformation of Indore from a small village to a prosperous and beautiful city; her own capital, however, was in the nearby Maheshwar, a town on the banks of Narmada River. She also commissioned several infrastructure projects in Malwa, sponsored festivals and gave donations for regular worship in many Hindu temples. Outside Malwa, she built numerous Hindu temples, Ghats, wells, tanks and rest-houses throughout the Indian subcontinent, stretching from the Himalayas to pilgrimage centres in southern India. The Bharatiya Sanskriti Kosh lists the sites she embellished as Kashi, Gaya, Somnath, Ayodhya, Mathura, Haridwar, Kanchi, Avanti, Dwarka, Badrinath Temple, Rameshwaram and Jagannath Puri. Ahilyabai also supported the rise of merchants, farmers and cultivators to levels of affluence and did not consider that she had any legitimate claim to their wealth, be it through taxes or feudal right.

There are many stories of her care for her subjects. In one instance, when her minister refused to allow the adoption of a child unless he was suitably bribed, she is said to have sponsored the child herself and given him clothes and jewels as a part of the adoption ritual.

Ahilyabai could not settle the conflict peacefully in the case of the Bhils and Gonds, who unethically plundered her borders; but she granted them waste hilly lands and the right to a small duty on goods passing through their territories. Even in this case, according to Malcolm, she did give "considerate attention to their habits".

Ahilyabai's capital at Maheshwar was the scene of literary, musical, artistic and industrial enterprise. She patronized the famous Marathi poet Moropant and the shahir Anantaphandi from Maharashtra, and also patronised the Sanskrit scholar, Khushali Ram. Craftsmen, sculptors and artists received salaries and honours at her capital and she even established a textile industry in Maheshwar.

Ahilyabai repealed a traditional law that had previously empowered the state to confiscate the property of childless widows.

In 1780, following the death of her husband preceded by the death of their 16-year-old son, Ahilyabai's daughter Muktabai committed sati.

Structures throughout India
The Holkar family was known for avoiding using public cash to meet their personal and family expenses. They possessed their personal funds, which they had accumulated through their private property. Ahilyabai inherited personal funds estimated at sixteen crores rupees at that time. Ahilyabai donated money from her personal resources to charity.

In 1742, the Maratha ruler Malhar Rao Holkar made a plan to demolish the mosque and reconstruct Vishweshwar temple at the site. However, his plan did not materialize, partially because of intervention by the Nawab of Awadh, who was given the control of the territory. Around 1750, the Maharaja of Jaipur commissioned a survey of the land around the site, with the objective of purchasing land to rebuild the Kashi Vishwanath temple. However, his plan to rebuild the temple did not materialize either. In 1780, Malhar Rao's daughter-in-law Ahilyabai rebuilt the present temple adjacent to the mosque. Ahilyabai funded the reconstruction of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) 1780 which had been destroyed in the past and subsequently converted into a mosque by Aurangzeb in 1669. Construction of 9 temples including those of Shri Tarakeshwar, Shri Gangaji, Ahilya Dwarkeshwar, Gautameshwar; (re)construction of Ghats including Manikarnika Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat, Janana Ghat, Ahilya Ghat, Shitala Ghat; construction of Uttarkashi Dharmashala, Rameshwar Panchkoshi Dharmashala, Kapila Dhara Dharmashala and gardens.

The present day structure of Vishnupad temple was rebuilt by Devi Ahilyabai Holkar, in 1787, on the banks of the Falgu river. Ahilyabai had crafted the temple, sent her officers to inspect and find the best stone for the temple in whole region, and they finally found munger black stone as the best choice in Jaynagar. Since there was no proper road and the mountains were very far from Gaya, the officers found another mountain where they can carve and easily bring the stone to Gaya the place was near Bathani (a small village in Gaya district). The officers brought the craftsmen from Rajasthan. They started carving the temple in Patharkatti (a village and also a tourist place in Bihar). The final temple was assembled in Gaya near Vishnupad temple site. After the completing the construction of temple many craftsmen returned to their native places, but some of them settled-down in Pattharkatti village itself. Bihar government has marked this place as one of the prominent tourist spots of Bihar. The 1000 stone steps leading to the top of the Brahmajuni hill on southwest of the Vishnupad mandir gives the view of Gaya city and the Vishnupad temple, which is a tourist spot. There are also many small temples near this temple.

Death
Ahilyabai died on 13 August 1795 at the age of 70. Ahilyabai was succeeded by her commander-in-chief and nephew, Tukoji Rao Holkar, who soon abdicated the throne in favour of his son Kashi Rao Holkar in 1797.

Children
She gave birth to a son Male Rao and daughter Muktabai in 1745 and 1748, respectively. Male Rao became mentally ill in later life and died in 1767 due to his disease. Ahilyabai married her daughter to Yashwant Rao, a brave but poor man, after he had succeeded in defeating dacoits.

Legacy
"'The reign of Ahilyabai, of Indore in central India, lasted for thirty years. This has become almost legendary as a period during which perfect order and good government prevailed and the people prospered. She was a very able ruler and organizer, highly respected during her lifetime, and considered as a saint by a grateful people after her death.'"

"'For thirty years her reign of peace, The land in blessing did increase; And she was blessed by every tongue, By stern and gentle, old and young. Yea, even the children at their mother's feet, Are taught such homely rhyming to repeat. In latter days from Brahma came, To rule our land, a noble Dame, Kind was her heart and bright her fame, And Ahilya was her honored name.'"

Collecting oral memories of hers in the 1820s, Sir John Malcolm, the British official most directly concerned with the 'settlement' of central India, seems to have become deeply enamored of her.

"'Ahilyabai's extraordinary ability won her the regard of her subjects and of the other Maratha confederates, including Nana Phadnavis. With the natives of Malwa ... her name is sainted and she has styled an avatar or Incarnation of the Divinity. In the soberest view that can be taken of her character, she certainly appears, within her limited sphere, to have been one of the purest and most exemplary rulers that ever existed.'"

"'This great ruler in Indore encouraged all within her realm to do their best, Merchants produced their finest clothes, trade flourished, the farmers were at peace and oppression ceased, for each case that came to the queen's notice was dealt with severely. She loved to see her people prosper, and to watch the fine cities grow, and to watch that her subjects were not afraid to display their wealth, lest the ruler should snatch it from them. Far and wide the roads were planted with shady trees, and wells were made, and rest-houses for travelers. The poor, the homeless, the orphaned were all helped according to their needs. The Bhils who had long been the torment of all caravans were routed from their mountain fastnesses and persuaded to settle down as honest farmers. Hindu and Musalman alike revered the famous Queen and prayed for her long life. Her last great sorrow was when her daughter became a Sati upon the death of Yashwantrao Phanse. Ahalya Bai was seventy years old when her long and splendid life closed. Indore long mourned its noble Queen, happy had been her reign, and her memory is cherished with deep reverence unto this day.'"

"'From the original papers and letters, it becomes clear that she was the first-class politician, and that was why she readily extended her support to Mahadji Shinde. I have no hesitation in saying that without the support of Ahilyabai, Mahadji would never have gained so much importance in the politics of northern India.'"

"'Definitely no woman and no ruler are like Ahilyabai Holkar.'"

"'It reveals beyond doubt that all ideal virtues described by Plato and Bhattacharya were present in her personalities like Dilip, Janak, Shri Ram, Shri Krishna, and Yudhishthir. After thorough scrutiny of the long history of the world, we find only one personality of Lokmata Devi Ahilya that represents an absolutely ideal ruler.'"

John Keay called her 'The Philosopher Queen', a reference perhaps to the 'Philosopher king' Bhoj.

"'Ahilyabai Holkar, the 'philosopher-queen' of Malwa, had evidently been an acute observer of the wider political scene. In a letter to the Peshwa in 1772, she had warned against association with the British and likened their embrace to a bear-hug: 'Other beasts, like tigers, can be killed by might or contrivance, but to kill a bear it is very difficult. It will die only if you kill it straight in the face, Or else, once caught in its powerful hold, the bear will kill its prey by tickling. Such is the way of the English. And in view of this, it is difficult to triumph over them.'"

"'The Great Maratha lady who affords the noblest example of wisdom, goodness, and virtue. Akbar is among male sovereigns, and Ahilyabai is among female sovereigns'."

A commemorative stamp was issued in her honour on 25 August 1996 by the Republic of India.

As a tribute to the great ruler, Indore international airport has been named Devi Ahilyabai Airport. Similarly, Indore university has been renamed as Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya.

On 13 March 2024, the Maharashtra state government approved the renaming of Ahmadnagar to Ahilyanagar.

Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1980–1995)

Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1980–1995) is the first greatest hits album and the second compilation album by English hard rock band Def Leppard. The album was originally released in the band's home country on 23 October 1995 by Mercury Records. It was released in North America a week later on 31 October by the same label. Vault went on to be certified gold in four countries, platinum in three and multi-platinum in two. In the US, the album is currently certified 5× platinum by the RIAA, and in June 2011 it topped the five million mark in sales there. It won Metal Edge magazine's 1995 Readers' Choice Award for "Best Hits or Compilation Album."

The album featured one newly recorded song, "When Love & Hate Collide", which was released as a single on 2 October 1995.

The collection's track listing varied by region, although none of the releases had any songs from the band's 1980 debut album, On Through the Night on the track listings.

On 23 October 1995, to promote the release of Vault, the band played acoustic shows on three continents in one day: Tangiers, Morocco in Africa, London, England, UK in Europe, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in North America. The feat also made the Guinness Book of World Records.

Overview
One new track was recorded for this collection, "When Love & Hate Collide", previously a leftover from the Adrenalize recording sessions. The ballad became the band's joint highest-charting single in the UK, along with 1992's "Let's Get Rocked", hitting No. 2 in the fall of 1995.

The songs are the original album versions, with the following exceptions:
 * "Pour Some Sugar on Me" is the video edit version. This version actually features an extended, distorted intro, making it longer than the Hysteria version, which has the shorter "Step inside, walk this way" intro.
 * "Rocket" is the single edit, which runs around two and a half minutes shorter than its Hysteria album counterpart.
 * "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" fades out slightly earlier than the High 'n' Dry version, as the High 'n' Dry version segues into "Switch 625".

Artwork, design, and packaging
The art direction and design for Vault was handled by Exquisite Corpse with photography by Cythia Levine and Ross Halfin. Most covers of the album have a picture of an actual vault, while a limited edition two disc collection has a picture of a green eye with a vault inside the eye. The CD liner notes featured a three-page summary of the band's history by Peter Mensch, who appeared in two of the group's music videos. Although not featured on the North American release, other liner notes feature a note signed by the band members talking about the group's upcoming album, Slang.

Track variations in different regions
Although the releases of Vault had most of the same songs, there were some differences between the releases.

Exclusive to the North American release of Vault:
 * "Miss You in a Heartbeat" (acoustic version)

Exclusive to the European release of Vault:
 * "Action"
 * "Make Love Like a Man"
 * "Heaven Is"

Exclusive to the Japanese release of Vault:
 * "Rock! Rock! Till You Drop"
 * "Can't Keep Away From The Flame" (new track)

"Foolin'" does not appear on the European release, but does appear on the North American release and the Japanese release.

The Japanese release features the first official release of the song "Can't Keep Away From the Flame," a song which was later released as a B-side on some of the "Slang" singles. Years later it was included on the deluxe edition of Slang.

The following people contributed to Vault:
 * Joe Elliott – lead vocals, backing vocals, producer, piano on "Miss You in a Heartbeat"
 * Steve Clark – guitars, backing vocals
 * Phil Collen – guitars, backing vocals, producer
 * Rick Savage – bass, backing vocals, producer

Cover for the Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey single "Endless Love" (1994). Image copyright is owned by Epic Records.

Rationale of fair use for Endless Love (song)
The image Image: is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Extraordinary Machine 20:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

 * 1) No free or public domain images have been located for this single.
 * 2) The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal vinyl or CD copies of the single.
 * 3) The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single in any way.
 * 4) For an article about a single, the cover artwork is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. This is the artwork, intended by Epic Records for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
 * 5) This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single in any way.

The Ending
Does the ending ever appear in any console ports of the game? I've played the game many times on the PS2 and never found it.

I'm wondering if it was removed to cut restraints on porting the game.

 * Yes, I have beaten the Xbox version and viewed the ending, although it was just a set of pictures, and not too amazing in and of themselves >,< 71.65.242.248 00:52, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Ahhh, okay. I see. Thanks. ^_^ Ralf Loire 06:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh, I had forgotten to mention... I had forgotten what the ending was like. Up until you told me and played through the game again did I remember it. Sorry about that... ^_^;Ralf Loire 05:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Dreamcast version is the same as the arcade version. It's a bunch of hand-drawn style images of the MvC2 characters on the ship. Shows Ruby look at the orb then throw it away, then it just shows various scenes and character interactions, and I think the final slide has the ship sailing into the distance...

 * Dreamcast version is not the same, except for a few pictures from the beginning and the end. There are shots of heroes congratulating each other, but since different characters are unlocked at the start in the Dreamcast version, different heroes are shown (for example, a shot of Spider-Man taking a picture of himself with Morrigan in the arcade is changed to Sakura in the DC).

Joseph LaShelle

Joseph LaShelle ASC (July 9, 1900 – August 20, 1989) was an American film cinematographer.

He won an Academy Award for Laura (1944), and was nominated on eight additional occasions.

Career
LaShelle's first job in the film industry was as an assistant in the Paramount West Coast Studio lab in 1920. Instead of going to college as planned, he remained in the film industry after a promotion to supervisor of the printing department.

In 1925, Charles G. Clarke convinced him he should be a cameraman. He went to work with Clarke and after three months he was promoted to second cameraman, and he worked for various cinematographers at the Hollywood Metropolitan Studios. LaShelle was transferred from Metropolitan to Pathé where he began a 14-year association with Arthur C. Miller. He later went with Miller to Fox Films.

After working as a camera operator on Fox productions such as How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Song of Bernadette (1943), he was promoted and became a cinematographer in 1943. He was a member of the A.S.C.

Some of his well-known works are the film noirs: Laura (1944), for which he won an Oscar; Fallen Angel (1945); and Road House (1948). He is remembered for his work with Otto Preminger and Billy Wilder.
