Talk:Get It Done

Untitled
Please help complete the Angel/Buffy episode articles. See what needs to be done on this sub-page of WikiProject Buffy:

WikiProject Buffy/Episodes

Also please help update any major changes made to episode articles on that page so that progress can be mapped.

________________________________________________________

Criticism?
Should a Criticism section be added? As Nalvage and Anonymous (below) have pointed out, there are parts of this article that shouldn't be there, but I do not think they should all go. So, I suggest making a Criticism(s?) section, and adding the most noteworthy... issues, there. --Gero 04:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem is in deciding which, if any, criticisms are noteworthy. People will have a whole host of different subjective opinions about this episode and this season, and there's a danger of getting into "Some/Many fans think..." which is against Wikipedia's policy on unsourced Weasel Words.  Which fans have these critical opinions?  When were they expressed?  What exactly did they say?  Why is their opinion noteworthy?  How many of them are there?  What percentage of the viewership?  Without reliable sources you fall into the trap of, "Well, I've seen a lot of criticism online..." which, to me, seems too vague for an encyclopaedia.  My feeling is that Wikipedia should avoid talking about a show's quality (either good or bad) unless there's something verifiable that can be pointed to, like ratings, or awards, or quotes from those working on the show etc.--Nalvage 13:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I know I've seen some articles around (one in a magazine, a couple online) that talk about and criticize the many deus ex machina used in the final episodes, and how some of the characters would be simply knocked out if they would have gotten in the way of a scene. (Willow, with her magic recently of course, but it happened to Giles most of all. The writers even included him saying, 'At least I wasn't knocked out', once.) I'll try and find some links. And I know a quote can be found somewhere with Sarah Michelle Gellar talking about how Buffy felt like a different person the last two seasons, and was unhappy about it. --Gero 22:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Giles' Absence
Does anyone know why Giles wasn't in this episode? Was Anthony Stewart Head busy with something else, or is Giles' absence an explanation for the new Potentials that show up later? Like he was out gathering them. --Gero 16:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I think story-wise during this time Giles is travelling and collecting potentials. In real life I think he was only a recurring guest star in series 7, rather than a regular, because he needed more time with his family who lived in england. -- Paxomen 17:49, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Willow Drains Power
"When Willow needs energy, she takes it from Kennedy and Anya. However, Anya is human again, and so it would seem more likely that Xander would be the strongest person there after Kennedy."

I dont agree with this, because even as a human, Anya is still a more than capable magic user.

And to be honest, this entire article is has a very bitter tone and needs to be made a bit more neutral.

-I have to second that, but I think it would be hard finding someone with a neutral stance that could rewrite this well. That's goes for most of the last season as well it seems. --Gero 15:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Writing And Acting Section
The writing and acting section of this article was full of vague opinions and contradictory insults. I deleted it. Lots42 14:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

What I Did
For the record: I nuked the trivia for being trivia and the expanded overview for violating copyright. Lots42 (talk) 10:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Buffy715.jpg
Image:Buffy715.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

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

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Friend
The recently added bit about Anya and Buffy's friendship confuses me; it smells of original research which isn't valid for Wikipedia. Lots42 (talk) 18:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Jawohl and Nazi reference
The German version put "Zu Befehl" changing "Jawohl" from the original. It's true that "Zu Befehl" has no Nazi-connotation (or almost any) but the alternative "Jawohl!" wouldn't, either, since it's still used without any reference to Nazi ideology (mostly in tongue-in-cheek use). Still, blind obedience is transported by "Jawohl!", which could be roughly translated as "How high?". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.177.121.18 (talk) 21:23, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree with on minor adjustment: "Jawohl!" in military jargon essentially means just "Yes Sir!" as is "Zu Befehl!" the literal translation of which "As ordered." "Jawohl" is kind of archaic (being of middle high german origin) and was thus used well before the 20th Century and is still in use today as a stronger form of agreement or to stress a point, not necessarily in a military context. Maybe that's the reason the translators changed it to "Zu Befehl!" Dekar1241 (talk) 16:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Shadow Figures
I'm wondering if anyone has any information on those shadow figures (from the emergancy bag). Are these things real, as in was it invented for the show or is it something that really would be been used in Africa/anywhere? Drewder (talk) 03:12, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Rank Hovis McDougall

RHM plc, formerly Rank Hovis McDougall, was a United Kingdom food business. The company owned numerous brands, particularly for flour, where its core business started, and for consumer food products. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index but was acquired by Premier Foods in March 2007; many of its brands continue to be produced.

Early years
The company was founded by Joseph Rank in 1875 as flour milling business when he rented a small windmill. He initially lost money and therefore took a co-tenancy at West's Holderness Corn Mill. In 1885 he built a mechanically-driven flour mill in Hull in order to beat competition from abroad. He used steel rollers instead of mill stones thereby producing six sacks of flour an hour instead of one and a half. In 1888 he built another steel-roller plant in Lincolnshire, and soon after, built a more modern plant, producing 20 sacks of flour an hour.

As he strove for greater productivity he installed equipment that produced 30 sacks of flour an hour, and then 40 sacks an hour. He also set up agencies to distribute his flour in parts of England where it previously had not been sold. In May 1899 the business was incorporated as a private company under the name Joseph Rank Limited.

In 1902, Joseph Rank made his first trip to the United States to understand and beat his American competitors. Soon after his trip abroad, the company built mills in London and Cardiff. In 1912, a mill in Birkenhead was built to supply the needs of Ireland and northwestern England. Rank then moved the corporate headquarters of the company from Yorkshire to London.

During World War II the company employed 3,000 workers, many of them women working while their husbands were away at war. In 1935 Joseph Rank was awarded the Freedom of the City of Hull, in part because of a trust fund he had set up in Hull to help "poor persons of good character."

During the 1920s, Rank expanded into Scotland and Ireland. He also formed the British Isles Transport Company Limited to facilitate transport of his products around the country. The company was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1933. In 1943 James Rank became chairman following his father's death.

In 1945 James Rank, the new chairman, assisted by Cecil Loombe, who had become a director, set about rebuilding mills destroyed by bombing, which included the new Baltic Flour Mill at Gateshead, opened in 1950.

In 1952, James Rank was succeeded by his brother J. Arthur Rank as chairman. Arthur explored ways of improving quality control in food production founding RHM Technology and its research centre at High Wycombe.

Formation of RHM
In 1962 the company acquired the Hovis-McDougall Company, founded in 1957 after the merger of Hovis Bread Flour Company, founded in 1898, and McDougall Brothers, founded in 1864 by Alexander, Isaac, Arthur, John and James Thomas, with its famous Hovis brand of bread and became Rank Hovis McDougall Limited. In 1968 RHM went on to buy the Cerebos food group, which brought with it a number of popular food brands as well as interests in France, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United States and South Africa. In 1969 Arthur's nephew, Joseph Rank, took over the chairmanship of the company.

Joseph Rank encouraged research work in crustacea farming, cereal and seed production, and wheat hybrids. He also pioneered protein production from starch. In 1984 the company established a joint venture with ICI known as Marlow Foods. It was Marlow Foods that created the meat substitute product Quorn.

In 1979, RHM divested its Canadian business to Campbell Soup Company.

In 1981 Sir Peter Reynolds took over as chairman from Joseph Rank. The company made a number of important acquisitions during the 1980s in the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Far East including the purchase in 1987 of Avana Group, which was renamed Avana Bakeries Limited.

In 1992 the company was purchased by Tomkins plc who then sold it on to Doughty Hanson & Co in 2000. The company remained in private equity ownership and sold a number of non-core business, including bakery retail chain Three Cooks. In July 2005 it was relisted on the London Stock Exchange.

In March 2007, RHM was acquired by Premier Foods for £1.2 billion. Premier made a loss in 2012 and cut production.

Operations
Prior to takeover, the group was grouped into three divisions: Bread Bakeries, Culinary Brands and Cakes & Customer Partnerships. Premier Foods is in the process of integrating Culinary Brands, Cakes and Customer Partnerships into its core business unit, although Bread Bakeries (including Rank Hovis milling) are to remain as a stand-alone business unit.

List of brands

 * Atora shredded suet
 * Bisto gravy
 * Be-Ro flour
 * Cadbury's cakes (manufactured under licence from Cadbury plc)
 * Cerebos salt
 * Frank Cooper's jams
 * Hovis bread and flour
 * Kake Brand Cooking Chocolate
 * McDougalls flour and cake mixes
 * Mother's Pride bread
 * Mr Kipling cakes
 * Paxo stuffing
 * Robertson's jams
 * Rombouts coffee
 * Saxa salt
 * Sharwood's Indian, Chinese and SE Asian sauces

The Rank name
A common misconception is that the "Rank" in the name signifies an acquired business of the Rank Organisation. This is understandable as Rank themselves were at one point a highly diversified conglomerate, and were apt to rename acquired or joint venture business by prefixing them with the name "Rank", e.g. Rank Xerox. There is a link, but the "Rank" reference is to Joseph Rank, father of Lord Rank, who merely inherited the business upon his father's death. It always remained a separately run enterprise.

Rebirth of a Nation

Rebirth of a Nation is a collaborative studio album by American hip hop group Public Enemy and rapper/producer Paris. Its title is a reference to the 1915 white supremacist film The Birth of a Nation as well as one of the group's prior albums, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. Despite the Public Enemy branding on the album, many tracks were written and produced by Paris; the album itself was deemed a "special project" by Chuck D in order to differentiate it from other Public Enemy works. It was released on March 7, 2006 through Guerrilla Funk Recordings with distribution via Caroline Distribution. The album was mixed and mastered at Data Stream Studio in San Francisco, California. The album features guest appearances from Dead Prez, MC Ren, Kam, Sister Souljah, The Conscious Daughters, Immortal Technique and Professor Griff. Rebirth of a Nation peaked at number 180 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States and sold 5,592 units in its first week out.

Critical reception
Robert Christgau stated: "PE's best album in nearly a decade was overseen by Oakland Muslim-stockbroker-revolutionary Paris, who puts his stamp on its functional funk and unyielding class consciousness. In fact, with its international perspective and bitter 'People on the bottom kill each other for scraps,' Paris's 'Hannibal Lecture' boasts the sharpest lyric on the record. But he's got competition--from a retrofitted Jesse Jackson, from Professor Griff if you can believe that, even from reality TV 'ho Flavor Flav: 'I'm in your mouth when you wake in the morning/I'm the stink on your breath when you're yawning.' But mostly, of course, from Mistachuck, whose musicality carries the record--and who folded in a Katrina song after the CD was done."

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Nihilistic.nazgul. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nihilistic.nazgul~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:48, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

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

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

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. - SCEhard T 05:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Largest Fortress in the Americas
Can I just make a comment about the first paragraph, and specifically this statement "It is the largest fortress in the Americas". Can you quantify this claim, largest in what way? If "Americas" is taken to mean both North, Central and South American landmasses, (as defined by Wikipedia) I can think of half a dozen off the top of my head that are larger in some way to Citadelle Laferriere.

In the same region:

Castillo de San Felipe de Morro, Puerto Rico. Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabana, Havana Cuba. San Juan de Ulua, Veracrus, Mexico.

North America:

Fort George, Halifax, Canada. The Citadel, Quebec, Canada. Fort Monroe, Virginia, USA.

All the above appear to be larger than the Citadelle Laferriere in some way. So can you say in what way it is the largest fortress in the Americas, as this is quite a sweeping statement. I did wonder if you meant the highest? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew381968 (talk • contribs) 18:03, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Clifton Young

Robert Howard Young (September 15, 1917 – September 10, 1951) professionally known as Clifton Young, was an American film actor.

Early years
Young was the son of Edward A. and Eva (Clifton) Young. His father started him in vaudeville when he was 5 years old. When he was 7, he began acting in Our Gang comedies. Young was drafted into the Army during World War II, serving in the South Pacific.

Career
Young played "Bonedust" in nineteen Our Gang films from 1925 to 1931, his most notable film being School's Out. As an adult, to avoid confusion with established star Robert Young, he took his mother's maiden name, Clifton, as his screen name.

Young became a contract player at Warner Bros., landing small parts in a number of 1940s film noir and western films. Notable credits include Nora Prentiss, Pursued, Possessed, Dark Passage, and Blood on the Moon.

While at Warners, Young was featured prominently in the Joe McDoakes comedy shorts. He played a variety of roles: a craven mobster in So You Want to Be a Detective, a department-store clerk in So You're Going on Vacation, and memorably as "Homer," Joe's brash, know-it-all office colleague in several McDoakes reels.

One of Young's last films was the Roy Rogers western Trail of Robin Hood (1950), in which he played a sneering villain.

Death
Young died on September 10, 1951, in a hotel fire that started when he fell asleep while smoking.

Shane and Wayne Mitchell
The article starts: Twins P. Shane and D. Wayne Mitchell are the leading figures in youth theatre education in the state of Alaska. This is a PoV. PoV can of course be neutralized, but here the linking of the two people seems intrinsic to an article having this title. How are they claimed to be leading? Primarily in TBA Theatre (Anchorage). But in TBA's own staff intro page (temporarily unavailable; I got it through Google's cache), they're named as two of four directors. What else is there about Shane or Wayne? Very little that Google can find me. The article is unverifiable as a whole, and in particular unverifiably implying an article-worthy linking of the two Mitchells. -- Hoary 07:44, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Decimal degrees into ISO 6709
subset, superset fgnievinski (talk) 04:08, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Oppose – ISO 6709 may have incorporated the definition of decimal degrees, but the concept itself is general,  exists independently of any international standards, and presumably predates ISO itself by quite a while. The current two-word proposal isn't particularly clear or convincing either. --Deeday-UK (talk) 13:42, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Oppose – While the ISO 6709 format for decimal degrees is a subset of ISO 6709, decimal degrees as a general concept (the topic of this article) is not, as Deeday-UK summarized well above. The concept of decimal degrees is a decimal fraction notation of angular degrees as applied to geographic coordinates, all of which are properly linked in the header per Wikipedia convention for that sort of relationship between concepts. The link to ISO 6709 belongs where it is now: in the See also section.  -- Benjwgarner (talk) 22:31, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Lee Tung Street

Lee Tung Street, known as the Wedding Card Street by locals, was a street in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The street was famed in Hong Kong and abroad as a centre for publishing and for the manufacturing of wedding cards and other similar items.

As part of an Urban Renewal Authority (URA) project, all interests of Lee Tung Street were resumed by and reverted to the Government of Hong Kong since 1 November 2005, and subsequently demolished in December 2007. The demolition was seen by many as causing irreparable harm to the cultural heritage of Hong Kong.

The site was redeveloped as a luxury shopping and housing development. As with all other URA projects, no original tenants have been resettled on site.

History
The street was known for its printing industry, and Wan Chai was a longtime host of the headquarters of the Hong Kong Times, Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po. In the 1950s, print shops began to gather in Lee Tung Street between Johnston Road and Queen's Road East. Rumours had it that the government of Hong Kong mandated this in order to easily monitor illegal publication.

The poet and translator Dai Wangshu also established a short-lived bookstore in Lee Tung Street in the early 1950s.

In the 1970s, the print shops also began producing wedding invitations, lai see, fai chun, and other items, for which they became famous in the 1980s. Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong people visited the shops there to order their wedding cards, name cards, and traditional Chinese calendars.

 * 2005 – The H15 group submitted her own renewal proposal i.e. Dumbbell Proposal (啞鈴方案), which was awarded silver award by the Hong Kong Institute of Planners, but was rejected by the Town Planning Board (城規會)
 * 2007 – H15 group failed to appeal the decision made by Town Planning Board in the Appeal Board Panel (Town Planning).
 * 2009 – Urban Renewal Authority started a public tendering for the H15 Urban Renewal Plan.
 * 2009 – The Urban Renewal Authority announced that Sino Land Company and Hopewell Holdings Limited got the joint development contract, enabling them to develop the H15 Urban Renewal Plan.

The procedures and institutions involved in the redevelopment plan

 * 1) Urban Renewal Authority submits a development scheme plan to the Town Planning Board
 * 2) Town Planning Board Secretariat process the submission
 * 3) Town Planning Board decides if the plan submitted is suitable for exhibition or not.
 * 4) Town Planning Board arranges a publication of such development scheme plan in the Gazette
 * 5) Town Planning Board publishes the development scheme plan
 * 6) Urban Renewal Authority publishes the development scheme in the Gazette

Redevelopment
In 2003, the Urban Renewal Authority announced it would spend HK$3.58 billion to redevelop Lee Tung Street and McGregor Street, an area covering 8900 sqm. According to an authority spokesman, up to the end of June 2005, more than 85 per cent of the 647 affected homeowners on Lee Tung Street had agreed to accept compensation offers of HK$4,079 per square foot. The purchase of the land was expected to be completed early 2006. The street was duly demolished starting in December 2007. In its place will stand four high-rise buildings and one underground car park, and new shops fitting in with the proposed image of the street as a "Wedding City". That means the old shops there, which were mostly small businesses and family-run, had to move elsewhere to continue operating, facing high rent and losing old customers.

On behalf of the H15 Concern Group, architect Christopher Law produced a counter-proposal known as the "Dumbbell Proposal" which would have preserved the signature six-storey tong lau in the middle part of the street. However, despite the proposal and strong protests by residents (including a three-day hunger strike by 60-year-old shop owner May Je) and other activists, the URA and the government went on to demolish the street as planned.

Shop Owners and Residents
Some of the active residents were very concerned about the H15 renewal scheme plan and later on H15 Concern Group was formed and May Yip to Mrs. Kam, the shop owners, are the active members in the concern group. They, people living or doing business in the affected area, very much concerned about the loss of relationships within the community that had taken years to establish. In fact, in order to tackle the dissipation of the relationship within the community, the H15 Concerns Groups proposed a Dumbbells Plan in 2005 and being rejected in 2007 by the Town Planning Board.

Apart from the concern pertaining to the community relationship, the economic concern is also one of the worries. One of the shop owners, Mr. Luk, due to the H15 program, moved his shop from Lee Tung Street to Wan Chai Road and faced 80% decrement in business income comparing with the days when he was running his printing business in Lee Tung Street. Mr. Luk is not the only one. In fact, former shop owner Ms. Chan, complained in 2016, after moving from Lee Tung Street to Tai Wong Street East, she faced 40% decrement in business income comparing with her income in bygone days in Lee Tung Street.

The other economical concern is about the underestimated compensation given by URA. During the reconstruction of Lee Tung Street, the compensation given by the Urban Renewal Authority to the flat owners was $4000 per square feet. However, the selling price of a flat, after the reconstruction, in Avenue Walk is $23000 per square feet in 2013. The URA was criticized for depriving the flat owners by paying an unreasonably low compensation to the flat owner in the affected area i.e. 1.8 billion in total while Urban Renewal Authority is foreseeably gaining $3.4 billion by this project.

Wan Chai District Council
Wan Chai District Council, in 2004 published her position paper Our Urban Renewal of Wan Chai emphasizing the following four principles. Firstly, renewal does not equal to reconstruction. It is ridiculous to demolish a community of vitality for the purpose of reconstruction. The New and the old can be able to exist in the same community. Secondly, people oriented with various choices is paramount. Respect mankind's diversity of needs and provide corresponding choices to the flat and shop owners but not long confined to monetary compensation. Thirdly, showing Appreciation to community and cultural identity. We should respect the individual's connection in the community and protect such relationship. Lastly, public participation. The affected people, due to the renewal programs, shall be able to participate in deciding the development direction, procedures and principles.

In fact, Wan Chai District Council commissioned the University of Hong Kong conducting a survey. That survey showed more than 70% of people living in the affected area agreed to reconstruct the Lee Tung Street. Wan Chai District Council also approved the Lee Tung Street's master layout plan as well as the plans of solving the concerning traffic problems in the affected area. The Wan Chai District Council also urged the Urban Renewal Authority starting the reconstruction work as soon as possible.

Government and URA
According to the press release of the Progress of Lee Tung Street Project announced by the then chairman of Urban Renewal Authority Cheung Chun Yuen, the new project would take the wedding industry as the main theme of the project since the original Lee Tung Street was famous for traditional wedding industry. After redevelopment, H15 Concern Groups challenged the promise that making wedding as renewal theme as chain stores and famous brand dominated the new street. Due to the expensive rent, original shop owners can hardly move back. Also, tenants have to fulfill the term that building 'First Class Shopping Premises' which designed by URA and land developer. Nothing about the wedding theme has been mentioned in the lease.

URA replied that three pre-war tenement houses in the renewal project are kept for the wedding industry with Eighty-nine square meters reserved as 'Chinese and western wedding traditions museum'. However, Peter Lee Siu-man from Conservancy Association criticized that no social enterprises and original shop owners should afford the monthly rent of three rebuilt tenement houses.

Lee Tung Avenue
In June 2013, the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) began accepting applications for new commercial tenants on the street, and formally announced the new name "Avenue Walk" (囍歡里). The Chinese name was a pun on the phrase "I Like You". This pun resulted in widespread derision. Finally, Sino Land, Hopewell Holdings and URA announced the name changed to "Lee Tung Avenue" (利東街) in October 2015, using the street's old Chinese name.

On 28 November 2015, the place was reopened as an outdoor shopping boulevard with one storey of basement mall. The MTR Wan Chai station exit D was opened nearby in December 2017.

In 2010
The extent to which the H15 project meets the 12 objectives spelled out in URS is set out in the table below (prescribed in the Study Report: The Achievements and Challenges of Urban Renewal in Hong Kong):

If the redevelopment turned out to be as planned in 2010, we could safely conclude the H15 project met most of the objectives spelt out in the URS, the remaining controversial part was related to the social aspects. In terms of preservation of social network, while URA has made provisions to enhance such efforts, given the fact that all the residents and commercial operators have left the site without any existing explicit arrangement for their return, the chance of re-establishing such social network was uncertain. By 2016, as shown above in bold, some of the intended achievement were not delivered.

New social movement- "flat-for-flat" and "shop-for-shop" compensation
After the preservation of Lee Tung Street (together with the protest against the demolition of the Star Ferry and Queen's Pier and the recent controversy about the construction of Express Rail Link), the public are much more concerned on the preservation of local community, local characteristics, cultural assets and collective memories. The struggle made by H15 Concern Group and its supporters is now usually considered as one important landmark of the "new social movement", which stresses on postmaterialist values like culture and heritage. The experience in Lee Tung Street also nurtured a batch of activists in the society, most remarkably Eddie Chu, and led to more sophisticated tactics in future social movements. Other issues in urban renewal, including community participatory planning, owners' participation in redevelopment, "flat-for-flat" and "shop-for-shop" compensation are all reflected in the case of the H15 project.

MW08

Thales Naval Nederland (formerly Signaal) MW08 is a G-band passive electronically scanned array target indication 3D radar, part of the 3D multibeam 'SMART' (Signal Multibeam Acquisition Radar for Tracking) family which includes E/F band (former S band) SMART-S/SMART-S Mk2 and D band (former L-band) SMART-L.

Design
MW08 transmits six 2 by 12 degree stacked beams up to 70 degrees for height finding and is capable of fully automatic detection and tracking (ADT). The radar also directs gunfire against surface targets by 3 Track-While-Scan surface windows with splash plotting capability, but does not provide up-link commands to surface-to-air missiles in flight. In February 1996 Jane's International Defence Review reported that the radar was no longer offered to new customers due to Thales Group's product rationalization policy favoring MRR 3D radar developed by Thales France, formerly Thomson-CSF. However the policy has been quietly reversed.

Users
MW08 is installed on the following ship classes.

 * South Korea: 3 Gwanggaeto the Great-class destroyer, 4+2 Chungmugong Yi Sun-shin-class destroyer, 1 Dokdo-class amphibious assault ship
 * Greece: 4 Hydra class frigates, 7 Roussen Class FACM
 * Portugal: 3 Vasco da Gama-class frigate
 * Turkey: 7 Kilic class fast attack craft
 * Oman: 2 Qahir class corvettes
 * Indonesia: 4 Sigma class corvettes

Need citations to support existence of subject
Well, the SeaTimes citations farther down the articleestablish that there was such a proposal as I-605. But the style of this article is very weird in that the assertion of the existence of the subject in the lead is unsubstantiated. The assertion in the lead is only backed up indirectly, but the burden shouldn't be on the reader to sort through citations that are not clearly relevant; far better would be to cite the article as evidence of the existence of such an idea as I-605.

Highway 18
I'm tempted to delete all mention of highway 18's improvements. Certainly highway 18 has been part of some 605 proposal, but, more importantly, highway 18 is not 605, and in no way serves the function 605 was intended to. As a matter of fact, if 18 was made an interstate, it would probably be called 490. If the highway 18 stuff is gone, you know why. D O N D E groovily  Talk to me  00:16, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * A couple comments, but if State Route 18 is connected to proposals surrounding I-605, then it should stay. Second, but in Washington, they're State Routes, not Highways, so it kinda makes you look slightly less than knowledgeable when you use the wrong terminology. I've restored stuff you removed from the article, and honestly, you need a source that states that WSDOT has cancelled the highway, otherwise, we will assume that there are still proposals floating around out there with the same level of possibility as the article states.  Imzadi 1979  →   03:43, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Dead?
Why list this as proposed? There has been no action on this in over a decade, and unlike SR 168 and others, it is not legally defined as a state highway. I suggest, for the sake of templates, we change the category to unbuilt. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:16, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Sakonnet River Bridge

Sakonnet River Bridge is a four-lane bridge spanning the Sakonnet River in eastern Rhode Island. The bridge carries RI 24 and RI 138 between the communities of Portsmouth and Tiverton, Rhode Island. The current bridge is a box girder bridge that opened in 2012 at a cost of $120 million (USD). The previous bridge was a truss bridge that was built in 1956 and demolished in 2012 due to structural deficiencies. The truss bridge had previously served as a replacement for the Stone Bridge, about 0.8 mi to the south.

It became part of RI 24 during the 1960s after the completion of the Portsmouth and Tiverton Expressways. At one point, it was briefly considered for inclusion as part of the never-built Interstate 895. In October 2023, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation announced plans to remove the rest of the bridge, and have scheduled the project for 2026. The department started demolishing the bridge superstructure in 2018.

Tolls
In 2003, state officials declared there would be no tolls on the bridge. In 2012, governor Lincoln Chafee reversed this decision.

In August 2013 after the opening of the new bridge, the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority began collecting a 10-cent toll from drivers with an E-ZPass transponder using an open road tolling gantry. Those without E-ZPass were expected to call the Authority's office to arrange payment. The toll was imposed in order to keep open the future possibility of higher tolls due to a quirk in federal law. From August 2013 to May 2014, the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority collected a total of $677,570.

The toll was removed in June 2014 and the Rhode Island Department of Transportation stated in 2019 that they would not impose any tolls on the bridge in the future. After the toll was removed, opponents asked for a refund of the collected tolls, and that all tolling equipment be dismantled.

Tay Garnett

William Taylor "Tay" Garnett (June 13, 1894 – October 3, 1977) was an American film director, writer, and producer. He made nearly 50 films in various genres during his 55-year career, The Postman Always Rings Twice and China Seas being two of the most commercially successful. In his later years, he focused mainly on television.

Early life
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Garnett graduated from Los Angeles High School. He studied commercial art at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before returning to California to open an advertising agency. In 1917, he joined the U.S. Navy's Aviation Corps and trained soldiers to fly at California bases during World War I.

Early career
After the war, Garnett entered the film industry as a gagwriter, primarily for Mack Sennett and Hal Roach, but also for Fatty Arbuckle, Mabel Normand, and Chester Conklin. For Roach, Garnett wrote Don't Park There (1924); for Billy Bevan, Galloping Bungalows (1924); and for Sennett, Off His Trolley (1924) and The Plumber (1924). He co-wrote Broken Chains (1922) for Sam Goldwyn; The Hottentot (1922) for Thomas Ince; and That's My Baby (1926) for William Beaudine.

Garnett directed some shorts, such as Fast Black (1924), Riders of the Kitchen Range (1925), and All Wool (1925), and wrote the comedy shorts Honeymoon Hardships (1925), Hold Tight (1925), Three Wise Goofs (1925), No Sleep on the Deep (1925), Salute (1925), On the Links (1925),  Who's Your Friend (1925),  The Funnymooners (1926), Puppy Lovetime (1926), Smith's Visitor (1926), and A Beauty Parlor (1926).

He adapted a 1919 play for Up in Mabel's Room (1926), which starred Marie Prevost, and co-wrote Frank Capra's The Strong Man (1926) and Edward Sedgwick's There You Are! (1926). For Cecil B. De Mille, he wrote The Cruise of the Jasper B  (1926), Rubber Tires (1927), The Wise Wife (1927), Turkish Delight (1927), and Skyscraper (1928). In 1927, he also wrote Getting Gertie's Garter, Long Pants, White Gold,  and No Control. Garnett joined Pathé around 1927 and wrote The Cop and Power in 1928.

Directing
Garnett directed and wrote Celebrity (1928), his first feature as director; The Spieler (1928), The Flying Fool (1929), Bad Company (1931), and Prestige (1931). Pathé merged with RKO in 1928; under the new name, Garnett directed Oh, Yeah! (1929), Her Man (1930) starring Helen Twelvetrees, Officer O'Brien (1930), and Panama Flo (1932). With Universal Studios, Garnett worked on The Penalty of Fame (1932), S.O.S. Iceberg (1933), and Destination Unknown (1933). With Paramount Studios, he directed the successful One Way Passage (1932). Garnett enjoyed further success in 1935 after moving to MGM and directing China Seas (1935). With Columbia Studios, he made She Couldn't Take It (1935).

In 1935, Garnett announced the creation of his own production company and subsequently left on a year-long cruise on his yacht. The Athene carried a small number of people, including Garnett's friends Polly Ann Young and Regis Toomey, and his wife Helga. During his trip, he shot footage of the outdoors for his future productions. He returned to Hollywood in October 1936 and signed with 20th Century Fox, where he made Professional Soldier (1936), Love Is News (1937), and Slave Ship (1937). He also worked on Stand-In (1937) for Walter Wanger.

Garnett's first film as a producer as well as a director was Joy of Living (1938) at RKO. He continued working with Wanger, producing and directing three of his films in the late 1930s: Trade Winds (1938), Eternally Yours (1939), and Slightly Honorable (1939).

For RKO, then under the ownership of Howard Hughes, Garnett directed The Racket (1951) and One Minute to Zero (1952). Garnett travelled to England and Spain to make The Black Knight (1954), then worked on the documentary Seven Wonders of the World (1956). In 1960, he directed A Terrible Beauty in Ireland. He directed a feature, Guns of Wyoming (1963), with Robert Taylor. Garnett wrote, produced and directed The Delta Factor (1970). His last two films were Challenge to Be Free (1975) and Timber Tramps (1975).

Television
Garnett started directing television shows in the late 1950s with He began working in TV with Four Star Theatre and Main Street to Broadway (1953). When he returned from the UK, he increasingly focused on television, directing such shows as Screen Directors Playhouse, which he also co-wrote,  Alcoa Theatre, Goodyear Theatre, Overland Trail, The Loretta Young Show, and The Untouchables.

Other work
While he primarily worked on films and television, Garnett occasionally worked in other areas of the art world. In 1930, he wrote a stage play called All That Glitters with Zelda Sears. In 1942, he created the NBC Red comedy-detective radio program Three Sheets to the Wind (1942), which starred John Wayne as Dan O'Brien, an American private eye posing as a drunk on a luxury liner sailing from England in 1939, and Helga Moray, which ran for six months at 11:30pm Sunday nights. The show was intended by Garnett to be the pilot for a film, though the film was never made. A demonstration episode of the radio show with Brian Donlevy in the leading role exists. Wayne, not Donlevy, played the role throughout the series run on NBC. He published his autobiography, Light Your Torches and Pull Up Your Tights, in 1973 and was writing a textbook at the time of his death. During his career, he also did some government films.

His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled in February 1960.

Personal life
Garnett married three actresses. First was Patsy Ruth Miller in Beverly Hills on 8 September 1929. She filed for divorce which was granted 18 September 1933 on grounds of desertion while she was in Vienna, Austria, and Garnett in London, England. While in London, Garnett met British author and actress Helga Moray whom he married on his yacht, the Athene, in November 1934. They had a second ceremony on 31 March 1935 in Yuma, Arizona, USA to safeguard her American citizenship. Their son, William John "Bill" Garnett, was born in January 1942. Six months later, Moray filed for divorce on grounds of cruelty. Garnett then married 24-year-old Mari Aldon in London, England, on 13 August 1953.

Marcus Zuerius van Boxhorn

Marcus Zuerius van Boxhorn (August 28, 1612 – October 3, 1653) was a Dutch scholar (his Latinized name was Marcus Zuerius Boxhornius). Born in Bergen op Zoom, he was professor at the University of Leiden. He discovered the similarity among Indo-European languages, and supposed the existence of a primitive common language which he called 'Scythian'. He included in his hypothesis Dutch, Greek, Latin, Persian, and German, later adding Slavic, Celtic and Baltic languages. He excluded languages such as Hebrew from his hypothesis. He died in Leiden.

Indo-Scythian theory
Boxhorn wrote numerous works, especially about the history of his homeland.

Marcus Zuërius van Boxhorn was one of the most important historical linguists. His Indo-Scythian theory laid the foundation for today's understanding of the Indo-European language family. In the 17th century he first investigated a possible genetic relationship mainly in European languages. In his opinion, languages such as Greek, Latin, Welsh, German,  Russian, Celtic,  Turkish,  Latvian,  Lithuanian and later also Persian had a common original language. Van Boxhorn first described his Indo-Scythian theory in 1637 in a letter to his friend Claudius Salmasius, who later added Sanskrit to van Boxhorn's theory. In 1647 van Boxhorn published his theory in three parts.

At that time, many people believed that Hebrew was the original human language. This assumption was mostly based on biblical sources. Two compatriots of van Boxhorn, Johannes Goropius Becanus (1519–1572) and Adriaan van Schrieck (1560–1621), however, were of the opinion that Dutch was the original language. Van Boxhorn rejected this theory and assumed a common original language of Latin, Greek,  Germanic,  Russian,  Welsh,  Latvian,  Lithuanian,  Turkish and  Persian, which he named  Scythian. He did not believe that all languages are derived from a single language.

Van Boxhorn first publicly postulated his theory in a work about the goddess Nehalennia, whose statues and altars were discovered in January 1647 in the Dutch province of Zeeland. Van Boxhorn dealt with the origin of the name of Nehalennia, which had not yet been clarified. The first volume of his work van Boxhorn wrote in the form of an open letter to the Countess Amalia of Solms-Braunfels, in the third volume he explained his so-called Indo-Scythian theory and presented evidence for it.

The inspiration for van Boxhorn's theory was, among other things, the Lexicon Symphonum published in Basel in 1537 by the Bohemian humanist Sigismund Gelenius, who was born in Prague. Even before Boxhorn, the University of Leiden had studied the genetic relationship of languages and language groups. In 1575, Franciscus Raphelengius (Ravlenghien) (1539–1597), professor of Hebrew in Leiden, taught his students about the similarities between the Persian and the Germanic languages, which suggested a genetic relationship. This idea was later developed in Leiden by Bonaventura de Smet and later Johann Elichmann. In the library of his friend Petrus Scriverius, also known as Peter Schrijver, Boxhorn found the works of Rudolphus Agricola von Groningen, alias Roelof Huisman, Johannes Aventinus (Turmair) and Hadrianus Junius von Hoorn, alias Adriaen de Jonghe, who examined the relationship between Greek, Latin and Germanic.

A century after Boxhorn postulated his theory, the French scholar Gaston-Laurent Cœurdoux (1691–1779) found grammatical evidence that Sanskrit was related to Indo-Scythian, i.e. Indo-European languages. In 1771 he found cognates of the verb "to be" in Sanskrit and Latin, which indicated a relationship. In Germany, van Boxhorn's theory was propagated in 1686 in the thesis of Swedish philologist Andreas Jäger at the University of Wittenberg. In England the theory became known at the beginning of the 18th century and was spread by Lord Monboddo (James Burnet). Inspired by these writings, Sir William Jones (1746–1794) also dealt with the Indo-European theory. Because of his high standing with the British colonial government and his status in Asian society, he won recognition of the kinship of Sanskrit to Greek and Latin. Although Jones himself made no studies on this relationship, he mentioned the work of Lord Monboddo, from which he had learned of van Boxhorn's results.

Methodology
To prove the common origin of languages, van Boxhorn compared etymologies, inflection patterns and grammars of Greek, Latin,  Persian,  Old Saxon,  Dutch and  German,  Gothic,  Russian,  Danish,  Swedish,  Lithuanian,  Czech,  Croatian and  Welsh. He found similarities that suggest a genetic relationship of these languages. Van Boxhorn was the first to include not only Greek, Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages in the language family, but also  Persian, Sanskrit, Celtic and Baltic languages.

Marcus Zuërius van Boxhorn compared not only similar words in different languages, but whole inflection patterns and grammars. He was of the opinion that the relationship between languages must be verifiable on the basis of systematic grammatical correspondences and not only postulated on the basis of similar-looking word forms. He was the founder of the methodology for studying language that we now call the comparative method.

Van Boxhorn viewed language as an organic system and warned against loan words and Wanderworts, which spread as loanwords among languages and cultures, and which can influence the comparison of languages. A kinship of languages is often wrongly suspected on the basis of similar words, but these have been adopted from one language and originally come from another language. Van Boxhorn wanted to prevent these misinterpretations by systematically comparing inflection morphology and other grammatical features.

Chris Stamey

Christopher Charles Stamey (born December 6, 1954) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. After a brief time playing with Alex Chilton, as well as Mitch Easter under the name Sneakers, Stamey formed The dB's with Peter Holsapple.

Early life
Stamey was born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States. He grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and graduated from R. J. Reynolds High School. He attended the University of North Carolina before transferring to New York University, where he graduated with a degree in philosophy.

Career
After moving from Chapel Hill to New York City, Stamey played with the Erasers, then as Alex Chilton's bass player.

In 1977, Stamey founded the independent New York City record label Car Records, which released the 1978 Chris Bell single with the tracks "I Am the Cosmos" and "You and Your Sister".

Stamey recorded and released two critically acclaimed albums with The dB's, Stands for Decibels (1981) and Repercussion (1982), which were initially released only in the UK, before leaving the band to pursue a solo career.

In 1991, Stamey and Holsapple reunited to record the album, Mavericks, which led to live concerts in London, England.

In 1996, Stamey moved back to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and opened the recording studio, Modern Recording, with former dB's producer Scott Litt. He has worked as a producer and sound engineer for various artists and recording projects including those by the alternative country group Whiskeytown.

In 2004, Stamey released the album Travels in the South, quickly followed by V.O.T.E. 2004, enlarged as 2005's A Question of Temperature featuring the group Yo La Tengo as the album's backing musicians.

In July 2009, Stamey and Holsapple released their second album as a duo entitled Here and Now, which was promoted by a follow-up concert tour.

In 2012, Stamey reunited with the dB's to complete Falling Off the Sky, their first new studio album in 25 years and their first in 30 years with the original 1978 line-up.

On February 5, 2013, Stamey released the solo album Lovesick Blues on Yep Roc Records, followed by Euphoria in 2015.

Stamey was the driving force behind a group of musician-friends performing Big Star's Third album live in the US, the UK, Spain, and Australia, on a series of occasions between 2010 and 2016, resulting in a live double CD/DVD recorded at Glendale's Alex Theatre in 2016 and released in 2017. On the record, he performs vocals and guitar on I Am the Cosmos, the Chris Bell single he had released on his Car Records label some 40-odd years earlier.

On June 12, 2021 (Record Store Day), Stamey and Holsapple released Our Back Pages on Omnivore, an album of acoustic arrangements of songs by The dB’s.

Guerilla
Hi there!

I think there is no point in creating separate "Guerilla in the past" section in guerilla, especially if it deals with quite late example of guerilla warfare (and claim that it laid foundations for guerilla warfare! Huh! And all those earlier guerillas are ignored? . You could just move it to separate article and include link in proper section of the article. I will do it myself in few days, but I think you would be better man to do the job.Szopen 08:05, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Ok, removed that reference and moved one sentence about it to Introduction. There is no use of commiting whole section to the one of hundreds of other examples of early guerilla tactics (and call him FUNDAMENTAL. Duh!) Szopen 08:47, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Late Replies
Sorry about the "really" late response. Perhaps in terms of chronology he wasn't the earliest nor the precursor to the technique in asymmetric warfare. On "fundamentalism", it was a strange situation with conquering moghuls, imposing islam on a predominantly Hindu (as if there is a religion by that name) state; there was bound to be a response, and a way of getting people to his cause of 'independence/freedom' which is today taken up by modern religious fundamentalists. I am no authority to say whether he had fundamentalist ideas, but the large part of his actions do not seem to prove it. I'll have to pull in reference books on his history that are neutral (and that's a bit difficult to come by.)

Anyway thanks about taking it up when I wasn't replying. --Beta 09:03, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

List of Educational Institutions in Thanjavur
This is the reference  where i got information about St. Peter's school... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Incrazy (talk • contribs) 05:11, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, I just got that and formatted the reference. I have read a hardbound book which has exact dates of founding of the schools here in Thanjavur. Web references/citations can be weak. I'll keep looking for a more authoritative work on education in Thanjavur. -- Beta - Talk 05:14, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Craniofacial team

Help to expand
The current article is mainly focused on cleft treatment. Since my personal contact with such team is cleft related, I can only really add facts from this POV. However the craniofacial team treats more facial deformities. Can someone add more details about this team for other craniofacial aspects? Felsir 08:15, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * I think that listing the people involved in the treatment is relevant to treatment. If treatment of cleft lip and palate is also discussed then i think it should stayBouncingmolar 21:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
