Frank Faylen

Frank Faylen (born Charles Francis Ruf, December 8, 1905 – August 2, 1985) was an American film and television actor. Largely a bit player and character actor, he occasionally played more fleshed-out supporting roles during his forty-two year acting career, during which he appeared in some 223 film and television productions, often without credit.

Career
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Faylen began his acting career as an infant appearing with his vaudeville-performing parents on stage. The family lived on a showboat, and performed throughout his youth.

Faylen became a stage actor at 18 and eventually began working in films in the 1930s. He began playing a number of bit parts for Warner Bros., then freelanced for other studios in gradually larger character roles. He appeared as Walt Disney's musical conductor in The Reluctant Dragon, and as a stern railroad official in the Laurel and Hardy comedy A-Haunting We Will Go. Faylen and Laurel and Hardy supporting player Charlie Hall were teamed briefly by Monogram Pictures.

Faylen's breakthrough came in 1945, where he was cast as Bim, the cynical nurse at Bellevue's alcoholic ward in The Lost Weekend. In the following year, he played Ernie Bishop, the friendly taxi driver in Frank Capra's 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life. Faylen's career also stretched to television, where he appeared in a number of western series, such as Maverick and Zane Grey Theater, as well as playing series regular long-suffering grocer Herbert T. Gillis, the father of the title character on the 1950s-'60s television sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. He also played Bert Hollinger in the ABC comedy That Girl.

In 1968, he had a small part in the Barbra Streisand film Funny Girl. Faylen appeared in almost 200 films.

He has a star at 6201 Hollywood Boulevard in the Television section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was dedicated on February 8, 1960.

Personal life
Faylen was married to Carol Hughes, an actress. Their two daughters, Catherine and Carol, are retired actresses. Catherine "Kay" Faylen was Regis Philbin's first wife.

Faylen died from pneumonia in Burbank, California, in 1985. He was interred in the San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Mission Hills, Los Angeles, California.

Mutant, Texas: Tales of Sheriff Ida Red

Mutant, Texas: Tales of Sheriff Ida Red is a four-issue comic book miniseries created and written by Paul Dini and illustrated by J. Bone, published by Oni Press in 2002. The stories take place in a mythical West Texas town changed by a release of atomic power and mystic forces.

The lead character is Ida Red, a seemingly normal 16-year-old orphan who develops amazing mutant powers. Through her heroism Ida later becomes sheriff of the strange town.

Background
In creating the Mutant, Texas comics, Paul Dini wanted to create a setting with no narrative limitations: "When I first started tinkering with the idea of a town full of mutants, I saw it as a limitless playground. Anything goes here". He also stated: "[W]ith Ida, I'm creating another twist on the fun superheroine characters that I'm known for contributing to Batman Adventures and other places. Ida's story is filled with action, humor, some tragedy, and a lot of excitement. I'm removing all limits from what kind of trouble, both real and comedic, that I can get Ida and her friends into".

Setting
The stories take place in Mutant, a small town in the desert of West Texas. The town was formerly known as Mystic until a freak accident in 1959 involving a comet, a satellite, the local nuclear power plant, and the spiritual forces native to the desert. Following this disaster, most of the humans in the area who were not killed acquired strange powers and characteristics. Many of the animals, and even some of the plants developed human intelligence and appearance, personalities, and mobility.

Publication history
Mutant, Texas and Ida Red made their first appearance in a one-page comic in Oni Double Feature #13 in August 1999, illustrated by Barry Caldwell. Also known as Dini Double Feature, this all-Dini issue also included the first appearance of Jingle Belle, whom Ida would later be closely associated with.

Dini and Caldwell also created a five-page story intended to provide a more thorough introduction to the setting and character, as Ida rescues a tourist from the villainous Kiyotes. This story was intended for publication in a new issue of Sarah Dyer's Action Girl Comics, but the issue was never published and the story eventually debuted in the Mutant, Texas trade paperback.

The four-issue Mutant, Texas: Tales of Sheriff Ida Red miniseries was published by Oni Press in May, July, October and November 2002. The artist is J. Bone. This miniseries gives the origin story of the town and of Ida Red and explains how she saves the town and its inhabitants while also avenging the deaths of her parents. In recognition of her heroism, she is made sheriff of the town.

The miniseries was published in trade paperback form in April 2003. This volume also includes the one-page introductory story and the five-page short story, along with seven pages of character concept sketches with commentary by Dini, and several pin-ups.

The first full-color Mutant, Texas story, "Kiyotes' Christmas Party", appeared as a backup feature in the Jingle Belle comic "Belle's Beaus", published by Dark Horse Comics in December 2004 and also illustrated by J. Bone. In it, the Kiyotes take over Mezcal's Cantina to throw themselves a raucous Christmas party until Ida Red intervenes.

A series of seven one-page color webcomics have been published on the PaulDini.com website, illustrated by David Alvarez and Antonio Alfaro.

Ida Red has also appeared as a supporting character in several comics starring her friend Jingle Belle, Santa Claus's rebellious and mischievous daughter, who was also created and written by Dini. These are:
 * "Jingle Belle Jubilee", Winter 2001, Oni Press. Includes the story of how Ida Red met Jingle Belle while rescuing Santa from the Kiyotes.
 * "Jingle Belle's Winter Wingding", Winter 2002, Oni Press.
 * Dash Away All graphic novel, December 2003, Oni Press. A cameo appearance.
 * "Oh, Christmas Tree" (backup story in The Fight Before Christmas), December 2005, Dark Horse Comics. Cameo appearance.
 * "Grounded", December 2010, Top Cow Productions.
 * "Jingle Belle's Christmas Party", December 2017, on the PaulDini.com website.

Ida Red
Ida Red is the protagonist of the Mutant, Texas comics. She was the infant daughter of a scientist and a filmmaker who came to Mutant 16 years ago to investigate the strange properties of the area and its inhabitants. Her parents were both killed by a giant mutant snake which then tried to kill Ida, but she severely injured it and drove it away by releasing a powerful blast of energy from her body. She was then retrieved by Tia Oso, the town's wise woman, and taken back to be raised as a member of the community.

Her powers did not manifest again until she was 16 years old. She was able to defeat the evil snake and its minions, saving all the townspeople. In gratitude, they made her sheriff of the town.

Ida Red is a beautiful 16-year-old girl with flaming red hair and green eyes. She usually wears denim shorts, a western-style shirt, cowgirl boots and hat, and special gloves which help her focus her energy bolts. Her powers are: Paul Dini intended Ida to be "as close as I can imagine a pure heroine to be" and she exhibits kindness, friendliness, loyalty and bravery at all times. Physically she was inspired by several sources, including the cowgirl pin-ups of the 1940s and 50s; western movie heroines such as Dale Evans; and the character Red from the animated cartoons of Tex Avery. Her name is taken from the old traditional fiddle tune "Ida Red".
 * The ability to shoot bolts of energy from her hands. These bolts can vary in power from small zaps to lethal blasts. She uses this power in lieu of carrying a gun.
 * She can fly, though there is a limit to how long she can stay in the air.
 * She can manipulate small amounts of matter that she is holding or wearing. She most often uses this power to change her clothing at will.
 * Her power can be used to reverse the mutation of any of the inhabitants of the town, turning them back to their original forms. She has only used this power once.

Ida is a good friend of Jingle Belle, the rebellious daughter of Santa Claus, and is often involved in her adventures.

Other characters
Rollalong Diller - Ida's friend, sidekick, and later deputy. "Rolly" is an armadillo who maintains an ant farm (for food) outside of town. He gets his name from his ability to curl himself into an armored ball and travel by means of rolling.

Tia Oso ("Aunt Bear" in Spanish) - The local wise woman and shaman, she is a Native American bear and Ida's foster mother, having raised her since her parents were killed when she was a baby. She is well versed in local legends, lore and traditions.

Cat - A mutant jaguar who is Ida's friend and companion. His powers are linked to Ida's. He can shoot bolts of energy from his eyes, and he can share his power to restore Ida when she is injured or drained of her power. Unlike most of the animal characters, he cannot speak, although he is highly intelligent and can understand what is said to him.

Mezcal - Donna Margarita Agavita Inebriata Mezcal is an agave plant in the form of a beautiful green-skinned woman. She speaks a combination of Spanish and English. Mezcal is the owner of the local cantina, and performs there as a singer and dancer. Because of the natural alcoholic content of her body, her kisses cause the recipient to become immediately drunk, and she can use this ability to disable enemies. She has a pet agave worm named Pulque, which she walks on a leash as if it were a dog. Dini created Mezcal by sketching her on a napkin while drinking tequila in a restaurant in Mexico.

The Kiyotes - A family of "white trash" anthropomorphic coyotes whom Ida is constantly fighting and arresting for crimes large and small. Her main foes are the three brothers Kelso, Tiny, and Leon, who are partially patterned after the Three Stooges. They also have many nearby relatives they can call upon when needed.

Mayor Beaumont Juarez Lansdale - The mayor of Mutant. Once a tall man, his mutation has reduced him to very short stature. Mayor Lansdale raises one-eyed mutant cattle on his ranch. He has an ebullient personality, a quick temper, and a love of old cowboy songs which is not matched by his skill at singing them. He physically resembles politician Ross Perot, and is named after Dini's friend, writer Joe Lansdale.

Marjeanne Lansdale - The wife of Mayor Lansdale. She may be recognized by her bouffant hairdo in the shape of a nuclear mushroom cloud. She has the power of teleportation.

Sheriff Wade Brunt - The sheriff of Mutant as the story begins. His father had been the previous sheriff, but was killed in the disaster that created the mutations. Sheriff Brunt is believed to be one of the very few "normal" humans in the town.

Clint Saguaro - A saguaro cactus mutated into the form of a cowboy, modelled after Clint Eastwood's iconic western film heroes. Clint has cactus spines all over his body, much to the regret of his horse, Crazy Horse. He can fire these spines like bullets from his gun.

Shortall - A young orphan girl who idolizes Ida and is always eager to help out. She can shrink herself down to the size of a doll and fit in many places others can't go, in addition to remaining unseen.

Ocelina - An attractive anthropomorphic female ocelot. Ocelina works as Mezcal's assistant at the cantina.

The Blacktails - A tribe of Native American prairie dogs who live near the town.

Talk:Timeline of Hong Kong history

Table is Weird part 1
The table looks weird somehow...The "World" column is much narrower that the "China" and the "Britain" ones. Can anyone help? -- Jerry Crimson Mann 07:30, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Is it a bit better now? — Instantnood 08:10, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * Gee. Thanks a lot! -- Jerry Crimson Mann 08:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You're most welcome. :-D — Instantnood 08:20, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

Table is Weird part 2
I think the table is quite weird, because with the current layout much space is wasted (most of the content is put into the "Hong Kong" column, yet it's only allocated <30% of the space. I think the table should be demolished and replaced with a list (as follows). What do you think? Deryck C. 07:00, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Example of the list format:
 * 1842 Britain rules Hong Kong
 * 1860 Britain rules Kowloon south of Boundary Street
 * 1898 Britain rules New Territories

 * Perhaps with a flag (or flags) showing at the end of each line. — Instantnood 12:35, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Agreed. We should add a flag to enhance the table and make it more presentable. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  14:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

 * This page had been marked for improvement and expansion in January 2007. I would like to convert this entire page to a format like Timeline of Chinese history for consistency.  It is currently in a very raw html format, it should at least be in simplified html format.  If I don't hear any complaints, I would like to begin reconstruction as soon as possible.  Benjwong 23:09, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Probably the original writer is a HTML fanatic like me, who don't have the intention to learn any kind of Wiki table markup because of his/her extensive knowledge about HTML / CSS. --Deryck C. 14:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I am going to post a HTML table format identical to that of Timeline of Chinese history since the format is as easy as a wiki table. If enough people want to go back to the list format then we'll do that.  I'd like to keep the table format since it is multi-dimension.  A list is just a list. Benjwong 19:06, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Page has now been rewritten Benjwong 19:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Is Hong Kong a City?
If it's not a city what is it? Hong Kong meets the common sense meaning of a city and I would expect it to show up on a list called City timelines. I don't think the legalities really matter. --JeffW 14:26, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * - If Hong Kong is to be included in that category, I'd be expecting to see the counterparts of London and Tokyo, which are also not cities from the legal and administrative aspects. Viewing from the common sense definition of the word city, it's also uncertain whether Hong Kong is one single city or several cities and towns, although it's certainly one conurbation or metropolitan area. — Instantnood 16:11, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Other Column
If the "other people/events" column, if the info does not have any relevance to the history of HK in someway, it probably does not belong. Benjwong 23:50, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Structure Change
This page will change to match the consistency of the history of Hong Kong page. Modern Hong kong will likely only incorporate post war stuff. And colonial Hong kong ends by the 1940s. Benjwong 19:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Hinako Sugiura

Hinako Sugiura (杉浦日向子) was a Japanese manga artist and researcher in the lifestyles and customs of Japan's Edo period.

Life
Born Junko Suzuki in Minato, Tokyo, into a tradition-steeped family of kimono merchants, she studied design and took an increasing interest in old Japan. She attended Nihon University, but gave up her formal studies to pursue research under the direction of author Shisei Inagaki. Inagaki specialized in the Edo period and taught Sugiura how to do the background surveys that would later ensure the historical accuracy of her manga and other works.

Sugiura was the assistant of Murasaki Yamada, a prominent feminist manga artist. Sugiura published her first manga, "Tsugen Muro no Ume," in the alternative manga magazine Garo in 1980. Her distinctive style drew heavily on ukiyo-e techniques and breathed life into her depictions of Edo-period life and customs, helping her win popularity as well as the Japan Cartoonists Association Award for her manga Gassō ("Joint Burial") in 1984 and the Bungei Shunjū Manga Award for Fūryū Edo Suzume in 1988.

In 1993, Sugiura announced that she was retiring from her life as a manga artist to dedicate herself to research on Edo period lifestyles and customs. She wrote numerous books on the subject, which she considered to be her life's work, and frequently appeared in the media as an expert on the period. She was well known and liked for her commentary during the ending segment of a popular NHK program, Comedy: O-Edo de Gozaru, which was set in the Edo period. Sugiura was usually seen in public wearing traditional kimono.

When Sugiura left the Comedy: O-Edo de Gozaru program, she told the public that she was going to fulfill a long-cherished dream by taking a world cruise. That she was actually undergoing treatment for cancer of the throat (the hypopharynx) at a hospital in Kashiwa, Chiba, first become known when the public learned of her death at 46 on July 22, 2005.

Reception
Her work had an influence on manga artist Daisuke Igarashi.

Personal life
Sugiura was married for a time to novelist, translator, and bibliophile Hiroshi Aramata, a pairing the Japanese media referred to as "the beauty and the beast." She was also famous for her love of soba buckwheat noodles as well as a preference for saké.

Works

 * Tsūgen Muro no Ume (通言室之梅, 1980)
 * Gassō (合葬, 1983)
 * Sarusuberi (百日紅, 1983–1987, 3 volumes)
 * Nipponia Nippon (ニッポニア・ニッポン, 1985)
 * Edo e youkoso (江戸へようこそ, 1986)
 * Futatsu makura (二つ枕, 1986)
 * Fūryū Edo Suzume (風流江戸雀, 1987)
 * Yasuji Tōkyō (YASUJI東京, 1988)
 * Hyaku Monogatari (百物語, 1988–1993, 3 volumes)
 * Higashi no Eden (東のエデン, 1989)

Awards

 * 1984: Japan Cartoonists Association Award for Gassō
 * 1988: Bungeishunjū Manga Award for Fūryū Edo Suzume

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 Adrien. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Adrien~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 21:40, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Talk:Poi Dog Pondering

Austin years
This section reads more like a school report than an encyclopedia entry; is lengthy parsing of lyrics really necessary? Could be more succinct.--Adoorajar 07:32, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Agree with above comment. Edited the discussion of lyrics. Removed the discussion of Christianity and "naturalistic" philosophy. Poi Dog Pondering is not a religion and Frank Orall is not a philosopher. [[User:Yumagah|Yumagah] 24 January 2010

Lyric content
The lyrics in the article come mainly from earlier songs. Discussion of death continues in future songs. In "God's Gollipoli", Frank sings about a person on their death bed "sorting through a wreckage of regrets" and hopes that God will "take me in one swoop, don't let me dwindle". I am less familiar with the earlier songs related to death but wonder if comparing the earlier lyrics with later lyrics show growth or a theme of greater interest. If I only had the time...

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Delicious-Library.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Delicious-Library.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Image tips
Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

 * Pick an image name.
 * When uploading an image, pick a file name that is short, descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.

 * Source the image.
 * On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so.  If it's from the web, give a URL.  If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.

 * Provide copyright and license information.
 * This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.
 * If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.)  Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD}}.  Be sure to mention that you created the image.  If you're using {{PD}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.
 * If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content.  This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use".  Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.

 * Describe the image.
 * To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page.  Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Some links to Wikipedia pages on this subject:

Copyrights, Copyright tags, Fair use, Image description page, Public domain, Images for deletion, Possibly unfree images, Copyright problems

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. kmccoy (talk) 19:26, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Audie Murphy photos
Hi! If all these images are copyright to the Audie Murphy Research Foundation, how do we justify their use in Wikipedia? kmccoy (talk) 20:21, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi: I uploaded the images as copyrighted images with fair use, not meant for reproduction. I could be wrong but I believe fair use copyrighted images are OK to use to accompany articles on Wikipedia.

Well, part of the point of Wikipedia is reproduction. You could try emailing the Audi Murphy Research Foundation to ask if they would be willing to license the use of those photos under a free license like the GFDL or cc-by-sa. Or could make a fair use argument on the photo page. Take a look at some of the links in the note I left above. kmccoy (talk) 06:28, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

I have just updated and included the Fair Use links/argument on the photo pages. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to go back over them. I hope you enjoy working on this project. kmccoy (talk) 06:42, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Please note that the article needs to be wikified (follow the supplied link to see what needs doing) and copy-editing (I'll do it when I get time, if no-one else beats me to it). Until the work has been done, please don't remove the templates. The heading is unnecessary; it divides a short article into two one-paragraph sections, of twhich the second is most of the article (see the Manual of Style on when headings should be used).

Thanks for your contributions. We are trying to build a comprehensive article so the entry can be elevated to featured (front page) status. To do so the text needs to be meticulously footnoted (you can see the process has already started). Can you please add notes to your contributions?

Thanks for helping out and welcome. lots of issues | leave me a message 08:11, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Speedof light, Let me join Lotsofissues in thanks for your help with Rosa Parks.  One note, you had changed all the date formats to the Americanized versions, which is actually unnecessary when they are wikified due to a neat bit of coding.  If they are wikified, the appearance of the dates is controlled by your personalized preferences.  Note that October 28, 2005 and 28 October 2005 should appear identical, though they are written in different formats.  It keeps the Commonwealth English and American English folks from spending all their time changing dates back and forth.  Cheers,   BanyanTree 15:18, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I had to revert to a previous version of Rosa Parks to get rid of some undesirable changes introduced by User:Novascotianpatriot. You may want to redo your two most recent edits; I'd reinsert them if I could figure out exactly what you changed, but I figure you'll figure it out faster than I. - Nunh-huh 05:54, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Rock Hudson
The picture you've added is a vast improvement on the one that was there before. Could you please go back to Image:Hudson.jpg and include the source. There is a bot that goes through removing any fair use images without source information, and chances are, if you don't include a source it'll get deleted before too long.

composer template
Hi, I notice that you've inserted a template on the Bach page. It doesn't add any info, and I'd want to remove the dates of birth and death from the text to avoid repetition.

Is it necessary?

OK, will leave it there for the moment, and eventually discuss with co-contributors. Thx. Tony 04:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Bach infobox
Hi, I'm not sure that the infobox is useful in the first place, but including a country was not historically appropriate, since the notion of a German nation did not develop until the 19th century. There was a German-speaking world, but no Germany, only electorates and free city-states. Tony 11:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

The Bach article is work in progress, and has been rewritten only down to half way through Leipzig. The rest is very scrappy. I won't have time to contribute seriously until March; others may, but somehow I doubt it.

With respect to information about national origin, the people you cite as examples are all from the nation-state era, i.e., the last two hundred years or so. While some nations, such the US and Great Britain, were conceived before this time, it's not true of the German speakers. The problem you mention might be solved by inserting a reference to approximately where he lived in geographical terms; I'll have a look into it. Tony 21:44, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Thx for your comments, Speed; I wasn't, in any case, expecting expertise in the topic on your part, but hoping that more general feedback plus some language editing might be possible. But it's probably better to wait until the other main contributors and I negotiate the 'Style' section, something that may not happen until I'm relatively free of heavy work commitments, in March. Then we'll know where we stand overall.

I notice that reviewers are more focused on inline referencing on the FAC page than they used to be; that's a good think, IMV, although I note that there are sometimes complaints of too much referencing. There's a window of density, I guess, that is honest and practical while not distracting the reader. We'll need to review this issue at a later stage in the Bach article. (May I alert you at the time?)

On the nationality issue, I notice now that the opening sentence contains: 'was a German composer and organist'. That's rather too exact for me (I'd prefer 'German-speaking', but that has problems, I agree). Doesn't 'German', as currently worded, satisfy your earlier query? Tony 04:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Chinese New Year extra days
Thanks for the extra days you added to Chinese New Year Festivities. They are valuable info and should be in the article, but I have removed them because they are a verbatim copy from The 15-Day Celebration of Chinese New Year. This cannot be fair use because you have copied almost the entire reference. Please readd the info, but in your own words. — Joe Kress 07:52, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Shizuka Arakawa
Regarding the last few edits you made, I think the "elite" statement was referring to her status as an elite skater, and that of the current elite skaters, holding a college degree puts her in a small group. Also, regarding the skating rinks, I saw quotes this weekend from her that showed she was disappointed by the small number of good rinks in Japan. Whether that is the prevailing reason for her move to CT, I don't know. At any rate, the rink she trained at when she was a child is(was) about 2 miles from my house. I've intended to go over and snap a picture or two for this article; but, there's a good chance it is not standing anymore. (The entire facility closed last fall). Neier 23:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I think we have to be very careful when using the term "elite" because if stating that she's an elite skater just because she has a college degree, then it would not exactly be truthful. Lots of athletes in the world hold college degrees and that doesn't make them any more special or unique. The statement would be more true if it were stated that to Japanese standards, her status as a college graduate and that of a fine skater is somewhat unique for I do understand that it's not commonplace for Asian athletes to be college grads, though this is changing very quickly these days. Unlike the US where colleges are heavy into sporting events and athletes are on sports scholarships, etc., I know that colleges in Asia tend to be very academically focused. Thus many college students have to choose between going to college or pursuing a sporting career. In Arakawa's case, she had both - hence, the uniqueness. In regards to her training, many, many world skaters train in the US because of the better facilities. If you do research, you'd find that many of the Russian, European and even Chinese skaters live and train in the US as well. I think that we can state that she trains in the rink at CT because it has superior training facilities and support if compared to rinks in Japan. Arakawa's present coach is based at the skating rink she trains at in CT. It would only be natural for her to be there. --speedoflight | talk to me 09:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the original intent was to say "There are many elite skaters. Shizuka is an elite skater.  Shizuka also has a college degree, which is not common among the current elite skaters."  I don't know the educational backgrounds of other skaters, so I can't say whether the sentence was appropriate or not.  It is fine that it is deleted; but I also don't have any strong objections if it is put back.  I just wanted to be sure that it was removed for the right reason (not, because elite seemed to described college graduate).  Anyway, I'll stop taking up your time.  BTW, I enjoyed your other edits to that article – they were very informative.  I was hoping it would grow beyond the stub that it used to be.  Neier 09:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for taking the time to write your feedback. To be honest, I don't know much about Arakawa and mostly learned about her during the ladies' skating competition at the Torino Games. I did not enjoy the lop sided coverage of Cohen and Slutskaya and the lack of respect for Arakawa's skating by NBC and its commentators. So I started reading articles on the Web to learn more about Arakawa. I found it to be a fresh breath of air to see someone else, somewhat like an underdog come in and take the gold. That's what's so wonderful about the Olympic Games...unexpected things happen. --speedoflight | talk to me 10:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

 * That's pretty funny. I took an interest for pretty much the same reason, only, it was before the Olympics when all of the Japanese announcers were playing up Miki Ando, and to a lesser extent Suguri.  Arakawa had won the championships two years ago, so I was puzzled by the lack of respect.  Ando has most of the promotional tie-ins, etc.  It was amusing to watch TV as the networks replayed the free-skate all morning, and then cut to commercials with Ando.

Fair use rationale for Image:Photo_audiemurphy_hellandback.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Photo_audiemurphy_hellandback.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 15:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Sftwins brown.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sftwins brown.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

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

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

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Proposed deletion of File:Jjbrown1908.jpg

The file File:Jjbrown1908.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
