Circuit breaker images
Hello Dingy: Could you please go to the images you've uploaded and make a note on them about their copyright status? These are really good illustrations and it would be a pity if we couldn't keep them in the article. Thanks, --Wtshymanski 03:48, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Articles on Juninho, Copa Sudamericana 2005...
Hi, I liked your work. And English is not my native language too (I am from Brazil). I am glad to help. Feel free to ask for my help, if you need. Regards, Carioca 15:57, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your encouragements, I did a lot of biographies for the French wiki, mainly on Brazilian players, I my town of Lyon we have a good team (Olympique Lyonnais) with 3 excellent brazilian players, I start to write articles on them and then will do some more. Your help is appreciated, I saw what you did on the articles yesterday. A+ (as we say in France) Dingy 16:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Cerezo
Hi, about the Cerezo article, I think that you should merge its content to the Toninho Cerezo article, and create a redirect (redirecting Cerezo to Toninho Cerezo). Your article is much better than the other one, however, this former football player is better known as Toninho Cerezo, and this is the reason why is better to redirect Cerezo to Toninho Cerezo. Anyway, keep up the good work. Regards, Carioca 05:00, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Right, I did not saw it, in Europe we called him generally "Cerezo". I made the changes as you indicated Thanks. My next one is Julio César da Silva, is it done already ? Dingy 05:09, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, there is already an article about this player, here. Feel free to expand it, if you want. You can always check the Brazilian footballers category. Regards, Carioca 05:14, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Recopa Sudamericana
Thanks! But I couldn't have done it without your help putting all scores first. :)

Sebastian Kessel Talk 21:04, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Toninho Cerezo
Thanks! This encyclopedia is really very useful. Keep up the good work on the football articles.

Regards, Carioca 03:09, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

The rigth form of "Pepe"
I'm Renan, from Brazil, and i'm here to tell you that the right form to write José Macia's nickname is "Pepe", not "Pépé".

Thanks!

OK I will make the change, in fact the word is the same in French, but saw it differently in english. thanksDingy 06:20, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Renan is correct. The correct spelling of José Macia's nickname is Pepe. However, as there is aleready an article called Pepe, the better option is to use the move button and move the Pépé article to something like Pepe (footballer) or Pepe (football player). If you need any help, please, contact me. Keep up the good work, Dingy. Regards, Carioca 16:43, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

OK, done, moved to Pepe (footballer) G'day Dingy 17:16, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi. The Bola de Ouro 2005 winner has not been announced yet. Fred is ineligible to win, because he does not play for any Campeonato Brasileiro first division club. Regards, Carioca 18:31, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi: it seems to be Carlos Tévez in 2005, is it confirmed ? ThanksDingy 12:50, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Probably Tevez will win, but the winner was not announced yet. However, another award, called Craque do Brasileirão, was won by Tevez.

Comercial (MT)
Comercial (MT) is Esporte Clube Comercial of Mato Grosso do Sul. On January 1, 1979, Mato Grosso do Sul was split off from the state of Mato Grosso. Until that year, Comercial disputed the Mato Grosso Championship. After the split, the club started to dispute the new Mato Grosso do Sul Championship. Regards, Carioca 19:02, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Copa Sudamericana 2005
Yes, it should be 2-2. I was way to happy celebrating to be accurate. Thanks! :)

Sebastian Kessel Talk 06:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I know that you must be happy, on the web I cannot find how it was decided, penalties after extra time ? Dingy 13:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Article improvement drive
Hi Dingy,

The Football AID is restarting. The next project article is to be selected on January 1, 2006. Please look at the nominations and take part actively. Thanks. -Aabha (talk) 10:40, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Football AID
Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week. Football World Cup has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

Frederico Chaves Guedes
Hi and happy new year. He scored that goal, playing for América Mineiro Futebol Clube, against Vila Nova Futebol Clube during a Copa São Paulo de Juniores match. The goal was scored 3.17 seconds after the match started. See this link. Please, add this info to the English article. Regards, Carioca 02:42, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Valdo
Hi. No, Valdo Cândido de Oliveira Filho has never played for Fluminense. It was another Valdo, who played for Fluminense some years before the better known Valdo was born. Regards, Carioca 21:03, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Christophe Lamaison
Hey thanks. Yeah, I've struggled to find really good resources, and clearly some aren't in English. Any more refs would be great. I'm going to get the article done as soon as I can. Are there any refs out there saying what clubs he played for and when? I don't think I have any of those yet. - Shudda   talk  10:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

 * here it says that he played with (in this order) : Peyrehorade, Bayonne, Brive, S.U. Agen, Bayonne.  It is the information we have in the French text, no date yet but I will try to find something. He played with Brive when they won the European cup in 1997 and in 2000 when they won the French cup. In 2002 he won the French championship with Agen. He finished his career with Bayonne. Dingy 11:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This reference, in english, gives the information on one part of his career :
 * CA Brive from 1996 to 2000
 * SU Agen from 2000 to 2002,  it fits with the other information
 * Bayonne from 2002 to 2004
 * Saint Médard 2004 (Federale 2)
 * Dingy 11:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it. Only other thing, did he retire after playing for Saint Medard in 2004? I was looking into that but couldn't find out. - Shudda   talk  21:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * in (discussion in French) it shows that he played durng the 2005-2006 season, until the final round in May 2006. he was then 35.. probably his last season Dingy 02:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, he may have retired now, but that ref is prob not acceptable, it's a message-board. Would need something more verifiable. Thanks for looking though. - Shudda   talk  02:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

French rugby team
Hi Dingy, I noticed that you have worked on the French rugby team on the FR wikipedia, and I thought maybe if you get any spare time you could translate some of that stuff over to France national rugby union team. For example, the section on the colours/uniform and home grounds would be fantastic. But yeah, if you can do anything like that, it would be really great. Cheers. Cvene64 01:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Cvene64, I have just finished the work on this article in french, in a few days I plan to propose it as Feature article, concerning the translation I will do something in a few days, of course afterwards you will have to check the wording ... Dingy 02:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks very much for the info on the crest and uniform, it really adds so much to the page. Great job. And congratulations on all the work that has been done on the FR wiki rugby articles (World Cup, 6N etc are all really really great). (also, sorry, I didnt see the above message from you until after your second one on my user page). Thanks again and good luck with your feature nomination. Cheers. Cvene64 09:03, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Waisale Serevi
Hey. Sorry to bug you like I do, but was wondering if could you help with the Waisale Serevi article? The specific section of the article i'm talking about is the bit about his French clubs, Stade Montois, then Stade Bordelais. I've added as much as I can discover in English, but there isn't much out there. Was also wondering if you could find out whether he learn't french? Thanks. - Shudda   talk  10:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, he was interviewed in March 2001, in the report it is said that he and his family speak english and that the interview had to be in english (with a good dictionary) . Dingy 02:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! - Shudda   talk  08:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I nominated France national rugby union team for WP:RU's collaboration of the fortnight. If you would like you can support my nomination here. - Shudda   talk  04:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Coaches of France national rugby union team
Hey, while France national rugby union team is still the collaboration I want to get as much of it done as possible. I was wondering if you knew of a reference that gives a list of coaches of the team? The list does not need to go back to 1903, but should probably include the last 40 years (the whole idea of a coach not popular many years ago, so a comprehensive list will be impossible). Anyway, please let me know where I can get a list of coaches, even if it's only the last twenty years. - Shudda   talk  11:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, when I wrote the French version I could not find the kind of list that you are looking for, I had to define one by looking into the history of the national team and detect the places where the replacement of the coach was mentionned (E.Escot, J.Rivière, Un siècle de rugby, Ed. Calmann-Lévy, 1997 (ISBN 2-7021-2784-3) ( Henri Garcia, La légende du tournoi, Minerva, 2005, 254 p (ISBN 2-8307-0793-1) Dingy 12:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, me again! Another request, would it be possible to put the image up on wiki-commons? I'd do it myself but my French is poor. - Shudda   talk  11:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi, it is done [[Image:Centre rugby linas marcoussis.jpg|right|400px]] Dingy 16:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

James Milner Career section Not really asking for full feedback on this article (although I wouldn’t mind it). I’d just like to know what you feel the best way the divide up the Career section is, by Club, by season, not at all or some other way. Please leave your reply under the section in my talk page named “Milner Career section”. Buc 16:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Translation request
Hey. I recently wrote All Blacks versus France at rugby union and was wondering if you could translate the French article Match de rugby à XV Nouvelle-Zélande - France (1999) into English? I think it'd be a good article to have here. - Shudde   talk  04:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, I may do that later this year, at the moment I am too interested to contribute on rugby (english version) as some impose their views and there is apparently no way to modify the content of articles such as the one on WC 2007 teams. Dingy 02:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes it is frustrating. I've certainly seen a few examples lately of people ignoring WP:CONSENSUS. - Shudde   talk  02:52, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

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 Dingy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dingy~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 23:29, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

User:Sarper

Is a male name in Turkish. Somehow used as a surname.

It is a hybrid word which consists of two words, sarp and er. Sarp means very steep or precipitous and Er means man or soldier. Sarper may directly translated as Steepman hence it wouldn't have any meaning. In some Turkish Names dictionaries, Sarper is translated as intractable or opinionated.

Talk:Mickey Z

Runescape
This is not THE Zezima, Rs Zezima's first name is Peter. -- I agree with the NPOV note below. This article is does not meet the Wikipedia standards for reliable sources and neutral point of view. A quick look at the History shows that someone clearly is trying to push an opinionated agenda against the subject. --Curlersinyourhair 23:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC) -- Rationale for NPOV dispute:

Does this sound NPOV to anyone? 1. "racist and sexist poems" 2. "...disgraceful HIV conspiracy theories, which are dangerous" 3. "racist and sexist remarks."

Who are these mysterious, unnamed "some," "others," and "critics" (besides the biased author(s) of this article)? Isn't such vague language discouraged on Wiki? 1. Some describe him... 2. ... others have dismissed 3. Some critics also observe ... 4. Some have also noted ... 5. ... refused to engage his critics. 6. Critical postings ...

Citations and/or verification, please? Can any of this be proven (beyond cherry-picking)? 1. "self-described 'public intellectual'" 2. "a self-promoting demagogue and a revisionist" 3. "Critical reaction has been mixed" 4. "Nearly all of the episodes appear in Zinn's 'Voices of a People's History'" 5. "Z frequently brags" 6. "Much of this fiction, however, reflects an enduring fascination with the sexual activities of minority women." 7. "No comparable descriptions of 'white' subjects exist, and thus 'white' seems to function as a normative racial category in Z's fiction."

Are these statements true or are they merely the opinion of the author(s)? 1. "Included in this body of work is his 2003 assertion that there is no connection between HIV and AIDS." 2. "He tends to ignore biomedical research that does not support his arguments, such as the charge that cellphone usage causes cancer. Simultaneously, he will cite medical authorities who appear to support certain claims of his, particularly concerning nutrition or the neutrality of clinical trials."

Conclusion: This is not a NPOV Wiki article and it also contains factual inaccuracies, personal slander, and glaring omissions. It should be properly edited or, perhaps, promptly removed. This article is the offshoot of an unexplained vendetta against the subject. Other articles by the same author include: Joshua Frank, Jordan Segall and Zachary Levenson. Check the revision histories of this articles for more.

-

This article gets grade 'F' in the Wikipedia Hall of Shame:

- If you want to add things, fine, but please don't remove content like Z.'s racist and sexist poems.

There are links to his disgraceful HIV conspiracy theories, which are dangerous, and his racist and sexist remarks. Is that "factual" enough for you? --

Here's a verifiable sampling of what some have said about Mickey Z.'s writings:

Points of contention
Contrary to a handful of confused souls, Mickey Z. does not make a claim one way or another as to AIDS/HIV. The article cited details those who challenge the HIV = AIDS belief. However, even if Mickey Z. (or anyone else) were to make such a claim, since when is Wiki designed to pass judgement on it? Where is the NPOV?

In the "issues" section, this phrase is used: "Some have also noted."

As for a front page mention of Wikipedia "disputes," this is clearly verboten by Wiki.

Points of contention rebuttal
In regards to the AIDS/HIV issue, Mickey Z has clearly stated his belief "and there you have it", in response to the conclusions of another "scientist" who does not believe there is a connection. If you want to edit the language of this article to state that it is "difficult to reason" whether he is merely lending a hand of support out of a compassion to man who is dismissed so readily or whether he agrees with his conslusions, than do so, but don't edit the entire thing out which is what you idiots have been doing repeatedly for the last two months.

In regards to the issues section, I didn't edit it, but it does seem to be worthy of mention that Mickey Z is so ready to cite medical sources to support his claims and then attack the medical establishment at the same time. Edit it out if you wish, that smaller paragraph in the "issues" section, but not the above one.

In regards to the Wikipedia Disputes, it absolutely deserves mention that Mickey Z is actually instructing his fans over at his blog to edit this article to make it look better for him, in the same way wikipedia biographies mention that congressmen have had their staffers edit their articles. When the edits were reverted it was added that the article was vandalized by the congressmen's orders. See Norm Coleman

Stop vandalizing the article. Play by the rules or get out.

Edits made as suggested above.

Rewrite
I've trimmed the article severely, leaving in and elaborating slightly on the more verifiable stuff, leaving out the detailed descriptions of books, and the more peripheral material. --Tony Sidaway 02:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Citations needed
I'd like to add most of the following section to the article, but it is unconfirmed.

 * He has served as the editor of a series of publications, including Curio and Wide-Angle. He writes a column for the magazine Veg News [1] and contributes regularly to ZNet, Counterpunch, Street News, along with several other websites and publications. He has been awarded two writing grants from the Puffin Foundation and a fellowship in non-fiction literature from the New York Foundation for the Arts. In addition, Mickey Z. has appeared in several low-budget films and was known in New York City as the "Underground Poet" for hanging his words in the subway.

The ZNet and Counterpunch stuff is easily confirmed and I've included that. I visited the Puffin Foundation's website but couldn't confirm that he has received any grants. Any verifiable information about the other grant would be welcome.

The vague reference to "several low-budget films" would be relevant if those films have seen appreciable circulation. The "Underground Poet" thing also needs a source. --Tony Sidaway 03:04, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

My bio is outdated and inaccurate. Here is my official bio so feel free to use any or all of it:

Born and raised in Astoria, Queens, Mickey Z. is the only person to appear in a political book with Noam Chomsky and a karate flick with Billy “Tae Bo” Blanks. Armed with a high school diploma, he’s spoken and lectured nationwide — in venues ranging from MIT and Yale to the Bowery Poetry Club and Occupy Wall Street Free University. Mickey Z. has optioned 5 film screenplays, had 12 books published, and his work has appeared in many more anthologies. He’s won writing grants, awards, and fellowships (e.g. New York Foundation for the Arts, Puffin Foundation, Project Censored, etc.), and written for innumerable publications and websites — from the Village Voice and Spy magazine to notorious underground zines. In the 90s, Mickey was known as the “Underground Poet” for hanging his prose in the Big Apple’s subterranean tunnels of transportation and, many years later, his photography and paintings appeared in sanctioned NYC shows and galleries. Howard Zinn called him “provocative and bold.” New York Newsday says he is a “professional iconoclast.” Novelist Ned Vizzini wrote: “It’s easy to talk about punk rock writing, but Mickey Z. really does write as if he doesn’t give a fuck but knows what must be said.”
 * The text you are proposing is decidedly not neutral or encyclopedic in tone. We write in neutral tone here. I fixed the infobox from where it was left to correct the breaking. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:13, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Lou Scheimer

Louis Scheimer (October 19, 1928 – October 17, 2013) was an American producer and voice actor who was one of the original founders of Filmation. He was also credited as an executive producer of many of its cartoons.

Early life and education
Scheimer was the son of a German Jew who, according to family legend, had to leave Germany in the early 1920s after punching a young Adolf Hitler in 1921 or 1922, "well before" the Beer Hall Putsch.

Scheimer graduated from Carnegie Tech University (now Carnegie Mellon University) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a bachelor's degree in fine arts in 1952.

Career
In the mid-1950s, Scheimer was appointed to the position of art director while working at Larry Harmon Pictures on the made-for-TV Bozo and Popeye cartoons. He formed a close working relationship with former Disney animator Hal Sutherland, with the two later becoming business partners. Larry Harmon eventually closed the studio in 1961. Scheimer and Sutherland went to work at a small company called True Line. While working there, they were contracted by SIB Productions, a Japanese firm with U.S. offices in Chicago, who approached them about producing a cartoon called Rod Rocket. The two agreed to take on the work and also took on a project for Family Films, Life of Christ, a series of ten short animated films based on the life of Christ. Paramount Pictures soon purchased SIB Productions, and the contract allowed True Line to hire additional staff, such as former radio disc jockey Norm Prescott. Scheimer and Sutherland formed a close relationship with their new co-worker.

In 1962, Scheimer, Sutherland and Prescott eventually left True Line, and Scheimer began independently working on commercials. He figured that he could form his own company to produce animation. In September of that year, he, Sutherland and Ira Epstein, who had worked for Harmon but had left the firm, formed Filmation Associates. The company's name was invented because according to Scheimer, "We were working on film, but doing animation." Prescott joined them soon after the company's formation, and the trio were the company's main producers. They immediately started work on Journey Back to Oz, an animated sequel to the MGM film The Wizard of Oz and loosely based on the Oz series of books by L. Frank Baum. Due to financial problems, it took them about a decade to complete the film.

In the meantime, Filmation turned their attention to a more successful medium, network television. For the next few years they made television commercials and some other projects for other companies and made an unsuccessful pilot film for a Marx Brothers cartoon series. They also tried to develop an original series named The Adventures of Stanley Stoutheart (later renamed Yank and Doodle), but they were never able to sell it and almost closed down. That was until they were approached by DC Comics editor Mort Weisinger to do a cartoon based on Superman. Superman premiered on September 10, 1966, and was followed by several of the other DC superheroes, and then, in 1968, the first Archie Show. Both series greatly helped Filmation's popularity to increase into the 1970s, when it scored big with several of its series, such as Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and Star Trek: The Animated Series. For Star Trek: The Animated Series, Scheimer won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment - Children's Series.

Early in Filmation's history, Scheimer also contributed a number of guest or secondary voices for the various productions. Most notably, he provided the voice of Dumb Donald on Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. He was also the voice of Legal Eagle and the Brown Hornet's sidekick Stinger and the voice-over narrator during the opening credits of the majority of Filmation shows and cartoons. In Jason of Star Command and Space Academy, he was consistently heard as generic voices over intercoms. In the live-action series The Ghost Busters, which starred Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch with Bob Burns, he was the voice of Zero, the unseen boss of the main characters.

Scheimer also provided the voices of Stubby on The New Adventures of Gilligan, N'kima on Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, Bat-Mite, the Bat-Computer and Clayface on The New Adventures of Batman, M.O. on Space Sentinels, Trouble, Spinner and Scarab on Tarzan and the Super 7's Superstretch and Microwoman and Web Woman, Dinny on Fabulous Funnies, Mighty Mouse on The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle & Jeckle, Tom Cat, Jerry Mouse, Spike, Tuffy, Slick Wolf and Barney Bear on The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show, the Olympian Computer on Sport Billy, Gremlin on The New Adventures of Flash Gordon, Bumper on Gilligan's Planet, and Tracy the Gorilla on Ghostbusters.

The Filmation studio had emerged as a leading company in television animation, but it was no longer an independent company. The studio was purchased by the TelePrompTer Corporation in 1969. Westinghouse Electric Corporation, through its Group W Productions division, acquired Filmation along with its purchase of TelePrompTer's cable and entertainment properties in 1981. Despite this, Scheimer continued leading the company. He played a significant role in the creation of the cartoons He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and BraveStarr. As well as the executive producer, he was also co-credited for the series' musical score under the pseudonym "Erika Lane" (which combined the names of his daughter Erika and son Lane). It had also been used as a character name on the 1967 Filmation series Fantastic Voyage.

He became a voice actor for the show (as he had done for many of his company's previous productions), going under the pseudonym "Erik Gunden". The last name was taken from his father's original surname: "Gundenscheimer" (which was later shortened to Scheimer). The first name was Lou's middle name, which he was not given by his parents, but instead by his wife Jay, who felt that he should have one. Scheimer's contribution to the cast was, in fact, most notable as he voiced several supporting characters, including Orko (and other characters with a similar Smurfs-voice), Stratos, King Randor and others. The reason that Scheimer performed the voices for so many supporting characters was that the "official" voice actors were contracted to perform no more than three different voices per episode. Since there were usually only three regular cast members working on each show, Scheimer would fill in the rest of the male cast. This is also why his wife and daughter did various small parts in the first season of He-Man, with Erika Scheimer performing supporting female voices and occasional voice-acting for young boy characters.

During the second season of He-Man, and all of She-Ra: Princess of Power, Erika received an onscreen credit as an actor and also directed the voice actors, and she and her father recorded the remaining voices on their own later, because he did not see himself as a "proper" actor and was ashamed of recording with the other voice actors due to severe budget restrictions. The pitch of his voice was often changed by using a "harmonizer", which could control the pitch without altering the speed of the sound. The animated series also pioneered a type of programming known as first-run syndication. Another first was the storyline being based on an action figure toy; before this time, FCC regulations had prohibited any type of children's programming being based on a toy. Scheimer transformed He-Man from a graphically violent version of Conan the Barbarian into a pro-social character, who imparted a life lesson to impressionable viewers in each episode.

In 1989, Westinghouse decided to shut down Filmation and sell the studio's properties. Scheimer effectively went into retirement after the end of his studio. In the late 1990s, he returned to the field of animation. A Dutch investment company, Dreamweavers, NV., approached him with a concept based on an off-kilter Dutchman's renderings of characters aimed at young adults. Scheimer went into production on Robin and the Dreamweavers, an adult animated feature film. Robin, the first human to be born in cyberspace, battles Triple XXX: an evil siren who desires an earthly body, and who gains power through mankind's baser carnal desires. The movie, which has been compared to the majority of Ralph Bakshi's work, was never distributed. Scheimer also provided consultation work for Gang of Seven (G7) Animation.

The Lou Scheimer Gallery at the ToonSeum, a museum of comic and cartoon art in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is named in his honor.

Personal life
Scheimer was married to Joanne "Jay" Wucher (1931–2009) until her death. They had one son, Lane (b. 1956), and one daughter, Erika (b. 1960).

Scheimer underwent quadruple bypass surgery in the late 1990s and was subsequently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In 2012, he was honored with an Inkpot Award for his contributions to animation. He died from the disease at his home in Tarzana, California, on October 17, 2013, two days before his 85th birthday.

John Murtagh

John Richard Murtagh (born 21 July 1967) is a New Zealand former cricketer who played first class and List A cricket between the 1988–89 and 1991–92 seasons.

Murtagh was born at Geraldine in Canterbury in 1967. A middle-order batsman, he captained the New Zealand under-19 team in three Youth Test matches and three Youth One Day Internationals against the Australian under-19 team during the 1986–87 season. He had played age-group and B team cricket for Wellington, before going on to make his senior representative debut for Otago in a January 1989 List A match against Canterbury. After scoring 10 runs on debut, he played against the same side in his first-class debut later in the season, recording a duck in the only innings in which he batted.

These were Murtagh's only senior appearances for Otago, and he did not play at representative level again until the 1991–92 season, although he continued to play for Otago's Second XI. He made five first-class and two List A appearances for Wellington during 1991–92. In total he scored 126 first-class and 28 List A runs.

I liked your discussion on Anti-Americanism, even though I utterly disagree with you on most points. You are an American, and you have the luxury of all the benifits that implys. The disadvantages include never really understanding another point of view, especially those of small people, and small nations, caught up in conflicts between the Big Boys such as yourself. You have that luxury, and the luxury to indulge in it. We do not. Fergananim

Khmer Rouge
Your recent edit was quite a big one, really.

It said: "There have been allegations that the U.S. and the United Kingdom supported the Khmer Rouge after their downfall because of the recent Cold War battle in Vietnam. Australian journalist John Pilger has accused the Reagan and Thatcher administrations of propping up the Khmer Rouge in Thailand. U.S. President Reagan had publicly condemned the Khmer Rouge as having caused the death of one-third of Cambodia's population, and opposition to the new regime was not limited to the Khmer Rouge; however, the organization did play a significant role in resistance against the Vietnamese-backed Heng Samrin government."

Now it says: "There have been allegations that the U.S. and the United Kingdom supported the Khmer Rouge after their downfall because of the recent Cold War battle in Vietnam. Australian journalist John Pilger has accused the Reagan and Thatcher administrations of propping up the Khmer Rouge in Thailand. It should be noted that U.S. President Ronald Reagan had publicly condemned the Khmer Rouge, and that opposition to the new regime was not limited to the organization. However, the Khmer Rouge did play a significant role in resistance against the Vietnamese-installed Heng Samrin government."

I don't think phrases like "it should be noted that" are good in an encyclopedia. But more important, you have omitted the context in which Reagan condemned the Khmer Rouge. Could you please restore that? --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 00:55, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Rich bastard Castro
I think we're going to have to disagree about that. It's not POV, it's very well sourced from a very respectable publication (which you should be reading religiously) and it goes to the very heart of how Castro is. He's just a typical Latin American dictator who uses Marxist labels. The Revolution has made him very rich why not say so prominently. I bet if "W" made $550 million during his term in office it would be in his Wikipedia article intro. With accompanying flashing lights. Let's apply the same standard here. Dagen 03:29, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well first of all the accuracy is disputed because Cuba is perhaps the most ultrasocialist state currently in existence, with Havana owning the vast majority of productive assets. Forbes admitted that it had trouble calculating Castro's net worth because of dispute over to what extent nationalized property should be considered a part of his wealth.

Second of all it's a recent charge and it's not what Castro's known for. If you put anything negative in the intro it should probably be about the fact that Cuba is a closed society. J. Parker Stone 03:33, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Some might think it's positive. I would like $550 million. Even if looted from the Cuban Treasury. Only kidding, of course :-) I agree he's not known for being corrupt but he should be, it's a scandal. I concede there are calculation issues given how closed Cuba is but he lives like a King, with fleets of Mercedes etc so I think it's pretty clear just how high on the hog he's living down there, with little harems of Cuban skanks pleasuring his every sick fantasy. Dagen 03:53, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I will not accept an article that calls Batista a dictator (ahem, he was elected remember) and doesn't call Castro one (who seized power with force and retained it for forty years with a police state). Don't go soft on us, are you in bed with that Ohio Senator who sold us out? Dagen 04:14, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Batista was elected in 1940 and served until 1944 as official president. He ran for president in 1952 but seized power in a coup d'état when the pre-election polls showed him losing and suspended the constitution. Castro should be called a dictator as well, even if his is more of a party dictatorship than a personalist dictatorship (like Batista's.) J. Parker Stone 05:59, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

He had several election wins, which is several more than Castro the pimp. My opinion is that the whole party thing is window dressing for Castro's brutal one-man corrupt rule. The fact that he's passing the family business on to his idiot brother kind of proves that doesn't it. If it was a party show they would have found someone from outside the family. Btw, I'm not a fan of Batista but I do like to keep young conservatives on the right path. We need more Tom DeLays not more Voinovichs. Straight backs and straight talk. Dagen 06:12, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

you're probably right that Castro's rule's more autocratic than say the PRC, but it's debatable and I don't know where it'd go in the article (not in the intro) J. Parker Stone 06:16, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

and I actually thought he won one election and was essentially President eight years before that because he was Army Chief of Staff. J. Parker Stone 06:17, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

They had some system of term limits going I think which restricted the # of elections he could run in. But I agree, Batista was a bad guy but he was OUR bad guy. And had Castro not muscled in, I have no doubt Cuba would have become both prosperous and democratic.

On another subject, could you take a look at the Request for Comment on TDC. I think it would be useful for you to review the sledging of him and make your own view (non Voinovich) known in his defense. Those bringing the complaint include Viajero and his ideological associates including "Helpful Dave", Gamaliel, DJ Silverfish, Tony Sidaway, Rama. No doubt more comrades will join the fray to beat the crap out of him. Your more familiar with his edits than I am so I think your input would be good. Dagen 06:43, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

PS PRC is evil. Just run by billionaire gangsters who use Marx as a stage prop. Dagen 06:45, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Why isn't this information being added to the Foreign relations of Cuba article?
Why isn't this information being added to the Foreign relations of Cuba article? DJ Silverfish 02:00, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It's an important part of the Castro presidency. J. Parker Stone 02:39, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It is more properly characterized as Foreign relations of Cuba. DJ Silverfish 02:50, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

These "Relations with foreign political movements" points should be included on the Foreign relations of Cuba page. It refers, after all to the foreign policy of Cuba. Its an important part of Cuban political history as well as the Castro presidency. It should be organized in the context of the Cuban foreign policy as a whole.

Hey please put a message first in the discussion page before you revert the changes of the spelling. Soeharto writes his own name that way in Latin script. So this is not a matter of transliteration.

If you disagree with the findings of investigative reporters like Nairn and Goodman, that is your right, but your efforts to insert blatant editorializing in such articles to soften the bad news is completely unacceptable.

If you can't cite this kind of information, then please leave these articles alone. -- Viajero 21:58, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

I think he may be trying to entice you into a 3RR violation -- you've already had one, and you could be permanently banned. Don't let it go there. Post a list of your objections to the discussion page instead, and if we can't get it resolved through discussion there, we'll make a neutrality or factual accuracy dispute. If you are methodical and not infammatory, I will back you up.

You did a good job with Matos's testimony. We should try to find some other prominent former inmates with credible testimony to make a preponderance of the evidence case. Why don't you focus on that instead of getting into an RV war? I read an excerpt of a letter once that Castro wrote while he was imprisoned under the Batista regime. He discussed how he was being treated to H. Uppman cigars and gourmet coffee and wondered what his fellow revolutionaries would think if they knew. We should discuss how Battista was clearing trying to co-opt some of these guys through bribery and pampering, and contrast that to Castro's torture methods.

If you let the "revolutionaries" bait you and get you banned, they will win and they will be the people who get to stay on Wikipedia writing the history. DON'T fall for it. --Jpbrenna 23:09, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Roosevelt and Latin America
The US did not back nasty regimes like Somoza's for the sake of "stability," it did so to safeguard the profits of the United Fruit Company and other US corporations. I am not a raving lefty nor anti-American, but this an undeniable fact. The Good Neighbour Policy did represent a new policy, whereby the US stopped treating countries like Cuba, Panama and Haiti as US protectorates, but this did little to change the situation in the banana republics, which were in effect colonies.

In my defense
the reason I was blocked in the first place has to do with "vandalism" on said page, a part of which was the removal of personal attacks, which according to official policy I have every right to do. J. Parker Stone 19:50, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * No personal attacks, which is official policy, actually doesn't sanction the removal of personal attacks, it only observes that some people do. Remove personal attacks, which does sanction the removal of personal attacks, is a policy proposal without consensus and is considered somewhat controversial.  In short, you edit warred on the talk page when someone objected to you removing personal attacks. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:38, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh dear
Wait, I'm the belligerent RV warrior? What a crock. At least I don't refer to blatant Communist-leaning apologia as "POV vandalism," even though it is. 172 has done just as much "aggressive RVing" as anyone.

Iran-Contra
I don't have much time online at the moment, so all I can do is briefly comment on the edits. Overall, your changes were a good copyediting. If your edits were reverted entirely on Iran-Contra, I would revert back to your version. I particularly appreciated how you noticed every instance in which "administration" was incorrectly capitalized (one of my pet-peeves), among many other corrections and mark-ups in the writing. For now the only two problems immediately come to mind. The current version refers to Hezbollah as "loyal" to Khomeini. The new wording could give a misleading impression overstating Iran's influence in Lebanon and understating Hezbollah's autonomy. Still, this is a minor matter that can be addressed by changing the word choice. Also, your edits removed the content on the International Court of Justice ruling. Before your edits, the two paragraphs on the ruling were out of place, and they did look like an attempt to add mud for the sake of adding mud. (For example, as I'm sure you're aware, your friend Chomsky likes to point to these rulings as having made the U.S. the 'world's only convicted terrorist nation.') Your edits corrected that problem, but now it is necessary to go back and find a more fitting context. The ruling is relevant in ways other than offering rhetoric to media outlets like Granma and Indymedia; they bolstered the position of opponents of Reagan's Central America policies in Washington, and in that context the topic has relevance in this article. Nevertheless, the paragraphs were problematic given the lack of context in which they were placed, and I can understand your decision to remove them... I should be online later tonight, hopefully to deal with the other issues, such as the Stalin article. Thanks for filling me in on these changes. 172 23:56, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * yeah my "streamlining" of that article may have made it too narrow on the topics it covered, the ICJ ruling did come only a few months before Iran-Contra started to leak out. J. Parker Stone 02:48, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Stanley Karnow

Stanley Abram Karnow (February 4, 1925 – January 27, 2013) was an American journalist and historian. He is best known for his writings on East Asia and the Vietnam War.

Education and career
Karnow was born in Brooklyn in 1925, and had a middle-class, secular Jewish upbringing. His father was a machinery salesman; his mother, an immigrant from Hungary, a homemaker. Interested in writing from a young age, at James Madison High School in Brooklyn he wrote radio plays and was a sports writer and an editor of the school paper.

Karnow enrolled at the University of Iowa, but left in 1943 to serve in the Army Air Corps, in which he was a weather observer, cryptographer and unit historian along the China-India border. After the war, he attended Harvard University, where he was an editorial and feature writer for the Harvard Crimson and majored in modern European history and literature. Upon graduating in 1947, Karnow went to Paris intending to stay the summer, but wound up staying ten years.

Journalist
Karnow attended the Sorbonne and the Institut d'Études Politiques on the G.I. Bill, and did freelance journalism for the National Guardian, L’Observateur, and New Statesman. In 1950, he was taken on as a local "interpreter, researcher, and legman" by the Paris bureau of Time magazine, but was soon promoted to correspondent, covering France, Western Europe, and francophone North Africa. Following a year at Harvard as a Neiman Fellow, he headed Time's new Rabat bureau in 1958-59, and then its Hong Kong bureau until 1962.

Karnow spent the most influential part of his reporting career in east and southeast Asia. He covered the region from 1959 until 1974 for Time, Life, the Saturday Evening Post, London Observer, the Washington Post, and NBC News. Karnow was acquainted with Indochina from his work in Paris, and was in Vietnam in July 1959 when the first Americans were killed, He gave attention to the Vietnam War during its earliest years when few Americans were aware of it, and he reported on it for the duration of American involvement. He was close friends with Anthony Lewis and Bernard Kalb. Karnow's Vietnam reporting landed him a place on President Nixon's "Enemies List".

After the war, in the 1970s and 1980s, Karnow was a columnist for King Features Syndicate, a contributor to Le Point and Newsweek International, and an editor with The New Republic. He was also a founder and editor of the International Writers Service, a non-profit agency which commissioned work from European and Japanese journalists on their own countries and made it available to American newspapers.

Author
Karnow’s first book was his text for Southeast Asia (1962), a volume in his employer's illustrated, mass-market, Life World Library series. His first major publication was Mao and China: From Revolution to Revolution (1972), a 600-page analysis of the recent Cultural Revolution. The book built on Karnow's Hong Kong reporting on a then-isolated China and a fellowship year at Harvard, and was nominated for a National Book Award. Despite his place on Nixon's Enemies List, Karnow received an invitation to accompany Nixon on his historic visit to China in 1972, during which he sought to confirm the information in his manuscript. In 1977, two years after the fall of Saigon, PBS suggested to Karnow a television series on the Vietnam War. He worked in tandem on the series and on what became a 750-page book, Vietnam: A History (1983). For the 13-hour Vietnam: A Television History, Karnow was historical adviser and credited as "chief correspondent". The series aired in 1983, was PBS's most-watched documentary series to date, and won numerous awards. The titles reflected contemporary American usage, referring not to the centuries-old country but to the recent war. 90% of the book treated the years 1945-75, and called attention to the continuities between the French and American wars. The film was similarly focused, with only a brief prologue on prewar French colonialism and a final hour on post-1975 "legacies". Both were very successful, reaching large parts of the American public at a time when interest in the war was reviving after nearly a decade of forgetting. Like the conflict itself, the book and film were controversial and helped spark the ongoing public debate on the history and meaning of the war.

Rising political unrest in the Philippines in the 1980s, culminating in the fall of the 20-year regime of President Ferdinand Marcos, prompted Karnow's second book and television project. The book,  (1989), won a Pulitzer Prize for History. Karnow was chief correspondent and narrator for the companion three-part PBS television documentary, The U.S. and the Philippines: In Our Image. Unlike the academic style of his China book, Karnow's narratives on Vietnam and the Philippines combined research, reporting, and personal observations.

Asian Americans in Transition, a report for the Asia Society, appeared in 1992. Half of the chapters were authored by Karnow and half by Nancy Yoshihara, co-founder of the Asian American Journalists Association. The report focused on the characteristics and challenges of Asian immigrants, whose numbers had swelled since the 1960s. Karnow immediately began work on a book on the Asian experience in the United States, but ultimately decided that an Asian was more suited for the job.

In his last published book, Paris in the Fifties (1997), Karnow chronicled his years as a young reporter in Europe and North Africa, making use of his copies of dispatches that had been used mostly as background material by Time editors in New York. He contemplated, but never executed, a fuller memoir with notional titles Out of Asia or Interesting Times. A book on Jewish humor progressed only as far as an outline. Karnow nonetheless published reviews and articles, and remained a sought-after lecturer and media commentator until his death in 2013.

Karnow was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Asia Society, and the Society of American Historians. His papers pertaining to his work in and on Asia are archived at the Hoover Institution and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library.

Personal life
Stanley Karnow was born in a Jewish family in Brooklyn on February 4, 1925, the son of Harry and Henriette Koeppel Karnow (Karnofsky). In 1947 he married Claude Sarraute, then a stage actress from a French literary family, who soon began her own career as a journalist. They divorced in 1955.

In 1959, he married Annette Kline, a widowed artist who was working at the time as a cultural attaché for the U.S. State Department in Algiers and Paris. They had a daughter and a son, and Karnow adopted Kline's son from her first marriage. Annette Karnow died of cancer in July 2009. The offspring had careers as, respectively, travel photographer, television writer/producer, and a Judge.

Karnow died on January 27, 2013, at his home in Potomac, Maryland, at age 87 of congestive heart failure.

Albion (Gundam)
One of the better articles about a ship from the Gundam Universe, I think. The page has been upgraded and added to several times, and now I'm looking for additional comments/suggests/thoughts on how to further improve it. TomStar81 09:16, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Aren't there several alternative Gundam universes (series)? It would be good to have the lead mention which alternative Gundam universe the ship's story take place. If this is not the case, I'd appreciate the names of the series that went before and after to get the feel on the chronology. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 12:25, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * There are several Gundam universes, as you said, but the majority of ships from the Gundam universe are either from the mainstream Universal Century timeline (which Albion falls into) or are from the Cosmic Era. I added a notice in the first line about the ship being from the Universal Century timelime. TomStar81 18:47, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Does any information exist on who designed the ship (a particular cartoonist or anything like that) and if the design was based on any real world or fictional existing design? When did the ship first appear? Any real world facts about this would really complete the article. MechBrowman 03:40, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Item A): Albion is an evolution of the Pegasus class assault carrier, so it stands to reason that she would be based on the lead ship of her class, in this case White Base. Most of material written for Gundam 0083 would support the claim that Albion is based on the old White Base design, but Albion is a greatly improved version of the Pegasus-class, hence the line about her looking very different from Grey Phantom and White Base. According to Mecha Anime Headquaters Albions principal design was by Shoji Kawamori, and Mika Akitaka cleanup cleaned up the sketch. I will check into the other points raised and adress them as I am able to. TomStar81 05:39, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * It would be great if you add that information about the animators, along with what epsiode, series, ect. and the year the ship was first seen. MechBrowman 04:37, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Rest assured, I will, but I like to solve all raised problems or insert all suggested material at once, otherwise I tend to forget what I put in and what still needs done. Be patient, its coming ;) TomStar81 05:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The other half: The ship first appeared in the 13 episode OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory was released (1991-1992), and again in 1992, when the OVA was retooled into the movie Last Blitz of Zeon. It also seems that Albion is present in the 2003 PlayStation 2 game Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space. TomStar81 07:22, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry I did mean to come off that way, I was just expressing approval of the information you were collecting. On a side note, I do not believe there is a particular rule in regards to calling a ship "her", but I do think it sounds less encyclopedic when it is done. MechBrowman 13:43, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * Noted and Adressed. Sorry the previous info took so long to collected, I had two sorces that didn't agree with each other, so I had to find a third to confirm which years the series and movie were released. TomStar81 21:14, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
