Samuel Lipschutz

Samuel or Salomon Lipschütz (July 4, 1863 in Ungvár – November 30, 1905 in Hamburg) was a chess player and author. He was chess champion of the United States from 1892 to 1894.

Biography
Born in Ungvár, Ung County, Carpathian Ruthenia, Austria-Hungary (now Uzhhorod, Ukraine), Lipschütz emigrated to New York City in 1880 at the age of seventeen. He soon became known in chess circles and in 1883 he was chosen as one of a team to represent the New York Chess Club in a match with the Philadelphia Chess Club, and won both of his games. In 1885 he won the championship of the New York Chess Club, and the next year he took part in the international tournament held in London, where he came sixth, including wins over Johannes Zukertort and George Henry Mackenzie. At the Sixth American Chess Congress held in New York in 1889, Lipschütz again finished sixth and was the only American player among the prize winners. Lipschütz won the U.S. Chess Championship in 1892 by defeating Jackson Whipps Showalter in a match by seven wins to one with one draw. He secured for the Manhattan Chess Club the absolute possession of the "Staats-Zeitung" challenge cup by winning New York State Chess Association matches and tournaments three times. In 1900 he won the Sexangular Tournament at the Manhattan Chess Club ahead of Frank Marshall and Showalter. Lipschütz played Emanuel Lasker twice and drew both games. Several games played by Lipschütz were published in Examples of Chess Master-Play (New Barnet, 1893).

Lipschütz wrote a 122-page American Appendix to The Chess-Player's Manual (Gossip, 1888) and edited The Rice Gambit, New York, 1898. An anonymous reviewer of The Chess-Player's Manual in the New York Times praised "Mr. Lipschütz's appendix, which brings the development of the openings almost down to date". David Hooper and Kenneth Whyld write in The Oxford Companion to Chess that Lipschütz's appendix "helped to make this one of the standard opening books of the time".

William Ewart Napier recalled Lipschütz as a "frail little man, with a gentlemanly mien and manners and an extravagantly long, pointed nose—the Cyrano of Chess". According to Arthur Bisguier and Andrew Soltis, "He was a methodical attacker with some strikingly good positional ideas—and some terrible ones." As an example of the former, they quote his 1889 theoretical novelty in the Ruy Lopez, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 d6 4.Bxc6+ bxc6 5.d4 f6!, which World Champion Wilhelm Steinitz praised as an "excellent and novel idea". Afflicted by tuberculosis, Lipschütz left New York several times for health reasons, principally staying in Santa Fe (1893), Los Angeles (1893–95) and Florida (1904). In 1904 he travelled to Hamburg for treatment, where he had a series of operations but did not survive the treatment.

Hillel Lichtenstein

Rabbi Hillel Lichtenstein (1814–1891) was a Hungarian rabbi and the leader of hasidic Orthodoxy in Hungary.

Life
Hillel Lichtenstein was born at Vécs, Hungary (also called Vágvecse; today Veča, part of Šaľa, Slovakia) in 1814 to the dayan R. Baruch Bendit. After studying at the yeshiva of the Chassam Sofer, he married in 1837 the daughter of a well-to-do resident of Galanta, where he remained until 1850, when he was elected rabbi of Margarethen (Szent Margit). In 1854 he was elected rabbi of Klausenburg, but the opposition of the district rabbi, Avrohom Friedman, made it impossible for him to enter upon the duties of the office; finally he was expelled from Klausenburg by the authorities. Having lived for some time at Nagyvárad, he was recalled to Margarethen, where he remained until about 1865, when he was called to Szikszó. Thence he went, in 1867, to Kolomyia, where he remained until his death.

He was a prominent leader of Haredi Judaism in Hungary: he not only resisted the slightest deviation from the traditional ritual, as the removal of the bimah from the center of the synagogue, but also vigorously denounced the adoption of non-Jewish social manners and dress and the acquisition of secular education. He directed his criticism not only at the reformers, but also at the moderate Orthodox Azriel Hildesheimer. He bitterly opposed the Hungarian Jewish congress of 1868–69 and the establishment of the Neolog rabbinical seminary in Budapest. In 1865 he called a rabbinical convention at Michalovce, which banned reforming synagogues.

His religious practise was unusually strict even among Hungarian Orthodox rabbis, even going so far as to keep a she-donkey in order to be able to fulfill the law of Petter Chamor. He kept a sheep also in order to be able to give the first fleece to a Kohen (Deuteronomy 18:4), from whom subsequently he bought it back to make tzitzit from it. Rabbi Lichtenstein was an ardent admirer of Hasidic Judaism, and made pilgrimages to the famous Rebbe of Sanz, the Divrei Chaim. He offered his own intercession through prayer to people in distress, but declined any gifts. He died on 18 May 1891 in Kolomyia, Galicia (now Ukraine).

Views
Lichtenstein was a powerful preacher and a popular writer, and the resistance to modern tendencies among the Jews of northern Hungary is largely due to his influence. He inveighed against the use of other than traditional Jewish names; he denounced not only secular education, but even the playing of musical instruments and innocent social games, like chess and checkers; and he condemned those who relied on reason, for the ideal Jew should live up to the principle of Psalm 73:22, "I was as a beast before thee". He was a decided opponent also of all agitation for the political emancipation of the Jews, saying that it is the duty of the Jews to suffer the tribulations of the Exile until God finds them ripe for Messianic redemption.

Works
Of the numerous works which Lichtenstein wrote, some of them being in Hebrew and others in Judæo-German, the most important of which were published included his responsa in Teshuvot Beit Hillel (Satmar 1908) and his sermons Maskil el Dal (Lemberg, 1867), Eis La'asos (ib. 1881), and Avkath Roichel (ib. 1883), all of which have been repeatedly reedited. They are all devoted to the denunciation of reform Judaism.

List of Kenya ODI cricketers

A One Day International (ODI) is a 50 over cricket match between two representative teams, each having ODI status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). An ODI differs from Test matches in that the number of overs per team is limited, and that each team has only one innings. , 50 players have represented the Kenyan national team in ODIs, since its debut in 1996.

Kenya gained ODI status in its own right following a strong performance in the 1996 World Cup, a competition they qualified for by gaining a second-placed finish in the 1994 ICC Trophy. The team's first ODI came against India in the 1996 World Cup, a competition for which Kenya was given temporary ODI status, with the team then playing four further matches in the competition. Kenya's first ODI win came in their fourth World Cup match against the West Indies. The Kenyans won the game by 73 runs but ultimately finished last in group A. Kenya have since qualified for four more Cricket World Cups. They reached the group stage in the 1999 competition, the 2007 competition and the 2011 competition. At the 2003 Cricket World Cup, partly hosted in Kenya, the Kenyan team finished second in their group and in doing so qualified for the Super Sixes stage. Kenya finished third in the Super Sixes stage and qualified for the semi-finals where they lost to India by 91 runs. The Kenyan team have played 154 ODI games with the most recent coming in 2014. Thomas Odoyo and Steve Tikolo have played the most ODIs for Kenya with 131 each. Tikolo has scored the most runs with 3369 for the team while Odoyo has taken the most wickets with 141.

List of players
''Last updated 30 January 2014, the date of Kenya's last ODI. This list includes all players who have played at least one ODI match and is initially arranged in the order of debut appearance. Where more than one player won their first cap in the same match, those players are initially listed alphabetically.''

In 1905 he was commissioned to work on a statue of the poet Vörösmarty to be erected in Budapest, and another of Kossuth in Kecskemét, having been awarded both these commissions as a result of competition.

In World War II Budapest 1944 Telcs was ordered to wear the Jewish badge (Judenstern). Raoul Wallenberg helped to prevent his deportation into a Nazi extermination camp.

Aaron Tänzer

Aaron Tänzer (Aron Tänzer, Tänzer Áron; also Arnold Tänzer; January 30, 1871 – February 26, 1937, Göppingen) was a rabbi in Austria and Germany, chaplain and author.

Biography
He was born in Pressburg, Austria-Hungary (present day Bratislava, Slovakia).

He studied at the Pressburg Yeshiva, and studied Oriental philology and history at the University of Berlin (PhD 1895). In 1896, he was called to Hohenems, Austria as chief rabbi of Tyrol and Vorarlberg; and from 1904 to 1907 he was rabbi of Meran (Tyrol). From 1907 until his death, he served as rabbi of the Jewish community of Göppingen in Württemberg, Germany. His history of the Jews of Göppingen and nearby Jebenhausen is notable as a thorough documentation of a Jewish community from its beginnings.

In World War I, he served as a Feldrabbiner (Jewish chaplain) in the German army, primarily on the Eastern front. He looked after German and Austrian Jewish soldiers and took care of Jewish prisoners of war in POW camps like Doeberitz and Sedan.

Aron Tänzer's father was a rabbi and his mother worked as a seamstress for the Pressburg Jewish community. At the age of 21, Aron Tänzer enrolled at the University of Berlin. He studied philosophy, German and Semitic philology. Aron Tänzer received his doctorate in 1895 and in October 1896 he successfully applied for the vacant rabbinical position in Hohenems, Austria.

The Hohenems rabbinate also supervised nearby Jewish communities in Vorarlberg and, from 1878 to 1914, also formally the Jews living in Tyrol. Tänzer applied his extensive training in history to numerous scientific publications as well as the field of adult education. For example, he often gave lectures on literature and history for the Hohenems Education Club. In 1905 he published the history of the Jews in Hohenems, which is still considered the standard work today. His mindset and religious beliefs were shaped by liberal ideas and cultural openness.

From 1905 to 1907 Tänzer was a rabbi of the Jewish community of Meran [1] and from September 1, 1907, became a rabbi at the Göppingen synagogue. He held this position, in which he was responsible for the Jebenhausen district rabbinate, until his death in 1937. Right at the beginning of the First World War, Tänzer volunteered to work as a field rabbi. He served on the Eastern Front for three years. Tänzer looked after the soldiers, helped in the hospital and set up people's kitchens for the needy population. Tänzer was awarded several medals for his work in the field.

Tänzer laid the foundation for a public library, later the city library in Göppingen, since 1909. Since 1921 he was an honorary member of the Göppingen veterans and military association "Kampfgemeinschaft". The Rabbiner-Tänzer-Haus (Freihofstrasse 46), the former rabbinate building, in Göppingen was dedicated to the Taenzer family.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Bancroftian

Bancroftian
FINAL (0/8/2) ending 15:35 27 August 2005 (UTC) - This is a self-nomination. I've been on wikipedia for a year now and have been doing many edits under this name for months. I think I definatley deserve to have the administrator's powers because, I will be able to do alot more on the site if I have them.
 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Support

Oppose
 * 1) Sorry, but your user account has too few edits (310) on too little time (about a month). Course this is coming from the guy that...I'll spare you the story. If you stuck around for a few more months and rack up at least 750 edits (not that I'm saying this is an absolute number, it just sounds right ;)) then I'd vote for. — Ilγαηερ   (Tαlκ) '' 15:31, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose due to lack of experience. Bancroftian only 310 total edits . Also, the nomination was wrong in many aspects and had to be fixed by Illyanep (see comments). Finally, since this was a self-nomination, the questions should have been answered when this was first posted. Carbonite | Talk 15:33, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Irregularities in placing the RfA as described in comments show that the user could benefit from a bit more experience first. But by all means, do try after you get more edits under your belt!  -- Norvy (talk) 15:37, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Sorry, but I think you're too inexperienced to become an admin. Come back when you've made two or three thousand edits and shown that you are familiar with everything an administrator needs to be familiar with. — Trilobite (Talk) 15:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose. Too few edits, too little time...--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91  ($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|)  16:14, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose If you had a few more, i'd vote neutral, but sorry bud, the intro tipped me into the oppose column. Come back in a thousand edits, and keep up the good attitude. Karmafist 17:06, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Strongest Opposition Possible Has no idea what administrators do. Look at the answer to the first question. Admins are just fancy editors. They have other duties. Plus, you could use a few hundred more edits. Acetic Acid 04:14, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Bancroftian is on the right track, but needs more experience. --User:Merovingian (t) (c) 05:30, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) Oppose ditto. --Chris S. 02:52, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Oppose- as above Astrotrain 18:53, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Would you prefer to be in the Oppose section? Carbonite | Talk 19:09, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) I would oppose for the reasons given above, but more oppose votes would be piling on at this point. Bancroftian, don't let this process scare you away. Keep working on building up good contributions, using edit summaries, and in a few months someone may nominate you for admin. Jonathunder 18:58, 2005 August 21 (UTC)

Comments
 * This nomination was added right to the requests for bureaucrat section (no subpage, and only the nomination, no header etc.). This looks more like a request for adminship. Also, the header said 18/0/0, but there were no votes, so I am changing it to 0/0/0. If I screwed something up then sorry! — Ilγαηερ   (Tαlκ) '' 15:28, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It appears he may have copied the header from TheCofee's nomination, in which case everything is set except for the voting. — Ilγαηερ   (Tαlκ) '' 15:34, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Kate's Tool shows 310 edits. — Ilγαηερ   (Tαlκ) '' 15:31, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It would be helpful to the community if you would answer the questions below. — Trilobite (Talk) 15:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * In the nomination foreword, Bancroftian stated that (s)he has been editing under this name for months. Note that his/her first edit was July 13, 2005, only five weeks ago. Acetic Acid 04:19, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

List of oldest schools in the UK
You have reverted an edit by me to the list of non-extant schools.

1. These aren't sentences, they are facts in a list. For instance: "Foster's School (1640) - closed 1992", which appears here, is not a sentence, but 'Foster's School was founded in 1640 and closed in 1992." is. That's why none of these listings are terminated by a full stop. 2. Because these aren't sentences, the word "in" is not necessary, and if it was, why isn't it necessary in similar entries in this list which don't include it (see above: Foster's School)? 3. By reverting my edit - an intervention normally used in the case of bad faith edits and vandalism, which you will presumably agree this edit wasn't - you have also removed the listing of Prescot Grammar School which I had added.

Rather than get into an edit war, I invite you to restore my edit yourself.Robocon1 (talk) 12:00, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I accept of course that your edit wasn't vandalism, and I didn't mean to imply that it was. I'm sorry if that's the impression you were left with.  I hadn't noticed the bit about Precott Grammar School; I've restored it.  You're also right about consistency; I've added the word "in" to the five entries that were missing it.  In American English, "closed 1929" reads perfectly normally.  In British English, it just sounds odd.  Since this is an article about Britain, I think we should stick with the British usage.  --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 18:27, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

So you imagine "Hull Grammar School (c.1330, endowed 1479) – closed in 2005" is a sentence do you? It's nothing to do with American or British 'usage' - it's not a sentence, and 'in' adds nothing except an extra two letters. And why doesn't 'endowed' need qualifying with 'in'? It seems ironic that many of the schools listed here are grammar schools.Robocon1 (talk) 21:23, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I don't imagine that they're sentences, no. They're sentence fragments.  I agree with the previous editors who've left the "in" in, that it reads better as it is.  Thanks for pointing out that I'd missed Hull Grammar School's endowment date.  I can't find anything relevant in the Manual of Style, so I suppose if this is a big issue for you, raise it on the talk page.  --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 21:40, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

And I agree with the editors who left it out. You imagine we're American, I suppose. You'll need to add 'in' to all the foundeds, refoundeds and mentioneds for the all the schools in all the other lists in this article, then.

But seriously, I think, with respect, that the point here is that you reverted a good faith edit without warning or consultation and removed information without even realising you'd done it. Robocon1 (talk) 21:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC).

 * I've already apologised for mistakenly removing the entry you added, and I've already put it back. I've already said that I'm sorry if you took my use of the revert tool as an accusation of vandalism.  As I've said, if you think it reads better without the word "in", and you think it's important, then it isn't appropriate for us to come to a decision between us, it needs to be taken to the talk page.  --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 22:13, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, and I must apologise for not having thanked you for restoring the edit, but I still don't think that whether the word 'closed' needs modifying in a list of institutions and events is the main point. Reverting a good faith edit which is factually correct and cited to other wikipedia articles via links without warning could normally be reasonably interpreted as inviting an edit war. The main purpose of my edit was clearly stated in the edit history. I'd say it's generally a good idea to check what is being reverted before taking that step.

And I must point out (once again with the greatest respect) that you haven't already apologised: saying you accept my edit wasn't vandalism isn't an apology, neither is saying you didn't mean to imply it was, and "I'm sorry if that's the impression you were left with" is a regret for my interpretation of your action, not an apology.Robocon1 (talk) 17:05, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Ejanding, Western Australia

Ejanding is a townsite in the central Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. It is located about 20 km north-northeast of Dowerin. It was originally a siding on the Ejanding Northward railway, a line built between the town now known as Amery, and Kalannie, around 1927. Amery was originally named Ejanding in 1910, but was changed to Amery in 1928. Ejanding was gazetted as a townsite in 1930. Its name is Aboriginal in origin, derived from "Hejanding Well", a name first recorded by the surveyor/explorer Augustus Gregory in 1846.

Ejanding used to have a primary school. It operated from 1926 until 2000, closing due to low numbers. Currently Ejanding has a few houses, a wheatbin and railway siding, and is the location of the Dowerin Go Kart Club.

The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.

Pontivy

Pontivy (Pondi) is a commune in the Morbihan department in Brittany in north-western France. It lies at the confluence of the river Blavet and the Canal de Nantes à Brest. Inhabitants of Pontivy are called Pontivyens in French.

History
A monk called Ivy built a bridge nearby over the river Blavet in the 7th century, and the town is named after him ("pont-Ivi" being the Breton for "Ivy's bridge"). From November 9, 1804, the name was changed to Napoléonville after Napoléon Bonaparte, under whom it had around 3,000 inhabitants. After his downfall, it was renamed Pontivy again, then later Bourbonville, and Napoléonville again after Napoléon III came to power.

Economy
This is a largely agricultural town.

Breton language
The municipality launched a linguistic plan through Ya d'ar brezhoneg on 8 August 2004. As part of that plan, all road signs in the town centre are bilingual.

In 2008, 11.34% of the children in the town attended the bilingual schools in primary education.

Sights

Events

 * Every year the final round of Kan ar Bobl, a Breton music competition.

Twin towns

 * Tavistock, United Kingdom since 1958
 * 🇲🇱 Ouelessebougou, Mali since 1986
 * 🇩🇪 Wesseling, Germany since 1972
 * 🇺🇸 Napoléonville, United States since 1989

Goomalling, Western Australia

Goomalling is a townsite in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres north-north-east of Northam, Western Australia.

The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.

History
The name Goomalling was first shown for a spring found by explorers Hillman and Lefroy in 1846. Hillman noted on his plan "rich grassy country", and squatters subsequently moved into the area. George Slater was the first in the Goomalling area, establishing a property around Goomalling Spring in the early 1850s.

The Goomalling Agricultural Hall was opened in 1898 by John Dempster MLC, who stood in for the Commissioner of Crown Lands, George Throssell, who was unable to make it to the event.

When the Northam – Goomalling railway line was opened in 1902 the government decided to establish a townsite at Goomalling. It was gazetted in 1903. Goomalling is an Aboriginal word that means "the place of the silver-grey possum". Goomal is the Noongar word for this possum.

An annual motor race meeting was held each year from 1949 to 1955, using a circuit that ran anti-clockwise along Railway Terrace-Lockyer St-Quinlan St-Forrest St-Eaton St-Throssell St-Railway Terrace. The meetings featured short sprints and handicaps for cars and motorcycles, with the feature race being a 50-mile handicap for racing cars.

Talk:Data cap

Cleanup
I've been cleaning this small article up, and I'm wondering if the following from the original version is a bit biased:

"Many broadband Internet Service Providers in the United States and Europe have begun to introduce bandwidth caps. The same practice has been in place in Australia and South Africa since the release of broadband."

It's a conspicuous statement, seeing as a link to an 'Anti-cap' organization directly follows. Also, living in the United States, I never heard of a bandwidth cap before reading this article; the phrase "Many broadband Internet Service Providers in the United States" seems exaggerated.

I can verify that in Australia and New Zealand such caps are the norm - indeed, uncapped plans are expensive and not many ISPs offer them. Although here they are known as 'download limits' or 'download quotas' and the process of implemeting them is known as 'shaping'. I can't comment on the U.S. situation.

Actually, as far as i know, all CableTV Internet highspeed providers are capping their speeds. If i'm not mistaken DOCSIS (the protocol for cableTV internet-highspeed) v1.1 allows up to 27 Mbit downstream speed and up to 7 Mbit upstream speeds. Most Cable-internet users are "restricted" to 3-6 Mbit downstream and 128-512 kbit upstream - whereas the upstream rate is generally 256-368kbits in average. which isnt really that much if you're playing multiplayer onlinegames w. more than one computer in a household. But since backbone bandwith isnt cheap, you get what you pay for. Archangel Michael 16:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

This is not what a bandwidth cap is. A bandwidth cap is where you have a limited amount of total data you are allowed to use. For example AT&T has some plans that offer 50MB/s down with somewhere around 12MB/s up, with a 1TB cap. Once you have used a total of 1TB, (suggesting there is a finite amount of total data) your down and up bandwidth is usually reduced/throttled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.75.63.186 (talk) 19:13, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Models of access
Are there any providers or areas where it is common to charge a line fee and then a per MB charge for access, rather than a fixed price per user? That seems like it would allow providers to offer high speed and reduce waste from P2P apps and such. 74.79.174.201 01:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

In my opinion these people are not very different than common delincuents, thieves.

If a bank, which operates under the same basic principles, refused to give your money back on demand, the fed will shut it down.

If an ISP oversubscribes based on the capping they do on the bandwidth they sell to you, it is not the users fault, is the ISP.

On a time where video, white board, VOIP, P2P and other bandwidth intensive applications are the reason people subscribe to broadband, the capping reflects a very poor business model.

If I pay for a bandwidth allocation based on the tier system an ISP bases its business model, I expect to be able to use it, not to be restricted because the ISP wants to resell my iddle bandwidth and allocate most of if to apps that are not bandwidth intensive. This defeat the very purpose I pay for bandwidth.

This article is biased and basically an apology of the thievering practices of the ISPs who cap and throttle the bandwidth the users pay for.

About merging with Download quota
I don't think this article should be merged with Download quota once they refer to different concepts. One refers to a limit in the speed of your connection (measured in bytes/sec) while the other refers to a total limit of downloads in a certain time period (tipically a calendar month) and is measured in bytes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodrigobelo (talk • contribs) 18:25, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I think this should be merged with download cap. The bandwidth cap is clearly not what this article is about. This article is about the counting of data tranfer over a connection. Bandwith caps are about connectivity capacity not actual usage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Silverwing (talk • contribs) 06:49, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Take a look at your own ISP....do they use the term 'bandwidth cap'? Rather, they will likely use the term 'usage'. Bandwidth ≠ Data usage. This article seems to be mostly about download/upload quotas. A usage limit of 25GB means that is the total amount of data you can transfer (up and down) in a month. A 'bandwidth cap' would be limiting your connection to 5mbps. Interestica (talk) 05:02, 7 February 2011 (UTC) interestica

Implementation details
I think a section about the technical details of how capping is implemented would fit well. --CyHawk (talk) 08:48, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Usage Based Billing Is NOT Just Internet Related
Usage based billing also applies to plain old telephone calls still where long distance charges are still applied by the minute. Usage based billing also applies to many cell phone plans when you buy by the minute. The system calculates how much use is being made and stores the records. If the term Usage Based Billing is redirected here, there needs to be some considerable discussion in this regard. I could type in a lot of stuff on this subject but it is from personal experience working in the industry, so is not suitable. And another issue with this is that there are very few books or public articles on the subject as the various systems are quite proprietary. But there has to be something out there to describe how it works. In any case, there needs to be something on cell and POTs (plain old telephone) usage based billing. It was here WAY before internet related usage based billing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theshowmecanuck (talk • contribs) 03:21, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Academic paper

 Blue Rasberry  (talk)  18:31, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Cut content
I cut content from the article. All of this information is without citation. I did this in response to the problem templates on the article. After cutting this content, I removed the problem templates. - One type of bandwidth cap, administered by an Internet service provider (ISP), simply limits the bitrate or speed of data transfer on a broadband Internet connection. The purpose of bandwidth capping is to prevent individual users from consuming the entire transmission capacity of the cable, a shared resource. However, critics argue that it is a method to charge consumers more by introducing tiered bandwidth caps.

Capping might be handled by the user's cable modem. Knowledge of capping has led to attempts at uncapping, though this is considered by ISPs to be a theft of service. When uncapping succeeds, the resulting data transfer rate is supposed to be extremely fast, but users who are caught are said to be banned permanently by broadband ISPs.

Sophistication is possible, and even required in limiting bandwidth. The simplest approach simply limits the data rate. The problem with the simplest approach is, a very active user could consume the maximum bandwidth continuously, theoretically imposing an excess burden on the ISP and possibly reducing the performance of other users.

Channel capacity is a finite resource, and using huge amounts of it can be deemed an abuse in countries with poor communications infrastructure. Dial-up ISPs often published policies that tried to clarify the difference between "unmetered" and "unlimited".

A more sophisticated approach is called "bursting", the administrator would specify a "peak rate limit", a lower "sustained rate limit", and a "credit limit". If one were to continuously saturate their connection, they would only get the sustained rate. While they are idle or use less than the sustained rate, they accumulate a credit, in bytes, up to some limit. If they try to saturate their connection after idling, they will get the peak rate until their credit runs out, at which point they will again be running at the sustained rate limit. The transition from peak rate to sustained rate could be abrupt, gradual, or even an arbitrarily designed curve. If they alternately idle and saturate, their long-term average data rate will never exceed the sustained rate limit, and their short-term data rate will never exceed the peak rate limit. This is known as a Token bucket.

Other schemes or models are possible to regulate bursting. Running at the peak rate could accumulate a debt. Once the debt reaches a limit, the user is held to the sustained rate limit and the debt does not change. Only running below the sustained limit (or idle time) pays back the debt. The behavior is similar.

 * Lowered cap

Another type of capping refers to the reported phenomenon of an ISP reducing an individual user's bandwidth cap, without notifying that user, as a defensive measure and/or as a punishment for heavy use, especially for upstream traffic. "Servers" tend to use upstream bandwidth heavily, and violate most service agreements. (Cable and other broadband services tend to be asymmetrical, making upstream capacity scarcer than downstream.) Somehow the ISP detects that the user is an offender — perhaps by analyzing traffic to detect the activity of a server, or perhaps by comparing the user's long-term data rate against an unpublished limit. If a user gets tagged as an offender, then the ISP imposes a lower bandwidth cap upon that user, and/or restricts other services. e.g. NTT Communications in Japan imposes a 30GB/day upload cap with a warning for a first violation and disconnection for repeat offenders.

The implementation of a sustained rate limit might appear as a reduced cap. If the data rate improves automatically after idle time, this would confirm the operation of a sustained rate limit.

Reports claim that the intervention of an administrator is required to remove a lowered cap.

A number of broadband Internet Service Providers in North America and Europe introduced bandwidth caps in the early 2000s. The same practice has been in place in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia (All others except ADSL broadband) and South Africa since the release of broadband. Data caps on internet in New Zealand result from many popular websites being hosted in the United States, hence local ISPs must lease international capacity; a proponent of a second international cable to the United States claims that cheaper international capacity will result in ISPs raising their data caps.

A download quota is a restriction fixed by ISPs (Internet Service Provider) to limit the volume of data downloaded by the end user during a fixed period, usually a month. Once a fixed download cap (e.g. 250 gigabytes/month) has been reached by the end user, the speed at which they access the internet is usually throttled to a slower speed, cut off, or they are charged for excess data usage.

Contrasting viewpoints missing
This article contains no information on criticism of bandwidth caps.

Worldview on bandwidth caps
This article is too U.S. centric. A number of foreign countries have had or have bandwidth caps in place including Canada and Australia, for example. We need to update the article to include info in the use of bandwidth caps in countries outside the U.S. and current status on the use of them currently if at all in those countries. I would include sections on major countries that either have at one time or still have bandwidth caps in place. I would also mention countries/jurisdictions that ban such caps such as the E.U. --Notcharliechaplin (talk) 15:43, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

i live in rural california and u.s. cellular has a 200 gigabyte data cap on me, i can't download any games over 20 gigabytes lest i wait one entire month with internet so bad it takes a minute to load 5 seconds of any 144p youtube video until they finally reset my cap. it's a 4g network, and u.s. cellular says they throttle me so 4g can stay fast on mobile devices using cellular data, but i know that's complete bull since i called one time about installing rainbow 6 and they said they would freeze my cap until i finished installing it. if the cap was actually necessary, they wouldn't have let me done that at all.

The album includes the #1 hit "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)", the Top 40 hit "Ungena Za Ulimwengu (Unite the World)", and the original version of "Smiling Faces Sometimes", later a Top 5 hit for The Undisputed Truth.

In addition, Sky's the Limit features the final Temptations recordings for founding member Eddie Kendricks, the main lead vocalist on "Just My Imagination". During the recording of the album, Kendricks departed the group for a solo career. His best friend Paul Williams would soon follow him out of the group due mainly to health issues.

Overview
"Unite the World" (its main title "Ungena Za Ulimwengu" is a Swahili translation of its parenthetical title), the album's first single, was the first Temptations single since 1964's "I'll Be in Trouble" not to make the Billboard Pop Singles Top 30. Its relative failure signaled the beginning of the end of the Temptations and Norman Whitfield's psychedelic soul recordings; while more Sly and the Family Stone-inspired psychedelic records would turn up on the next four Temptations albums, Whitfield began, for the first time in three years, once again releasing soul ballads as singles for the group. The first of these was Sky's the Limit's second single, "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)", which Whitfield and Barrett Strong had written in 1969 but shelved. "Just My Imagination" became the group's third number-one hit.

The album tracks show Whitfield's gravitation back towards a ballad format: fully half of the LP is made up of such tracks. Previous Whitfield co-compositions such as "Gonna Keep on Tryin' (Till I Win Your Love)" (originally recorded by Edwin Starr, later The Temptations; from The Tempts' Cloud Nine album), "I'm the Exception to the Rule" (recorded by The Velvelettes in 1964), and "Throw a Farewell Kiss" (also a Velvelettes original) were revived and recorded for this album.

Sky's the Limit contains two extended-length tracks: "Love Can Be Anything (Can't Nothing Be Love But Love)" runs nine minutes, while "Smiling Faces Sometimes" runs twelve minutes, mostly instrumental passages.

Background
During most of 1970, the year "Unite the World" was released and "Just My Imagination" was recorded, Paul Williams had been in and out of hospital care, as complications from both alcoholism and sickle-cell disease caused him to become seriously ill. Richard Street, a former bandmate of Otis Williams in The Distants and current lead singer of Motown's The Monitors, was proposed as a replacement for Paul Williams.

Eddie Kendricks also began to withdraw from the group; he regularly quarreled with either Otis Williams or his best friend Melvin Franklin, and the fights often became violent. Kendricks began spending more time with his friend David Ruffin, former lead singer of the Temptations. Ruffin had been fired from the act in June 1968 because of unprofessional behavior and perceived ego problems, and Kendricks was the only member who continued an alliance with Ruffin. In fact, Kendricks suggested more than once that Ruffin should be invited back into the group, an idea which the other members strongly objected to. By the fall of 1970, Kendricks decided that he should leave the group and go solo.

During a November 1970 engagement at the Copacabana nightclub in New York City, tensions came to a head. Otis Williams' mother had just died, and his voice cracked onstage during a performance, drawing Kendricks' ire. Attempting to avoid yet another fight, Williams and Melvin Franklin left the Copa immediately after the show, infuriating Kendricks to the point that he left as well and didn't return for the next show. The rift became irreparable at that point, and it was mutually agreed by all parties involved that Kendricks would be leaving The Temptations.

"Smiling Faces Sometimes" was planned as the third single from Sky's the Limit, but when Eddie Kendricks, the song's lead singer, quit the group in late winter of 1971, Whitfield had to shift plans. "Smiling Faces" was given to The Undisputed Truth, whose recording of the song became a Top 5 pop hit, while the Temptations, reduced to a quartet while searching for a Kendricks replacement, re-recorded "It's Summer", from the Psychedelic Shack album, as a single. "I'm the Exception to the Rule" from Sky's the Limit was issued as "It's Summer's" b-side.

Kendricks arranged a solo deal with Motown's Tamla label, and would go on to have hits such as "Keep on Truckin'" (1973) and "Boogie Down" (1974), while Paul Williams retired from the stage and assisted the Temptations with choreography until committing suicide in 1973.

Drink Me (Queenadreena album)

Drink Me is the second studio album by English alternative rock band Queenadreena, released in 2002. Since the band switched labels from Rough Trade to One Little Indian, the album became out of print and has become somewhat of a collector's item. The original British pressing of the album featured a controversial hidden image in the jewel casing. One Little Indian records have stated that there are no plans to re-release the album.

Critical response
Drowned in Sound awarded the album seven out of ten stars, writing: "[Queenadreena] break the mould in one sense at least – it’s as much Garside’s star qualities as her not-entirely-unattractive deranged and semi-dressed demeanour that carries the group. But for all her unhinged charisma, there is one major problem with ‘Drink Me’–the rest of the band back Garside with an awful slosh of uninspired turgid sub-metal shite that nearly sank [the band] without a trace first time around. And with the exception of the bulldozing "Pretty Like Drugs" underpinning and a few more startling riffs scattered like afterthoughts, that’s simply a let down." Rock Feed Back magazine awarded the album three out of four stars, adding: "Don't allow the opening torrents of 70s-esque heavy-metal riffage falsely lead you; Queenadreena are dangerously sexy art-rock, a group free to roam the lyrical subject-matters others are too refined to touch, and an act confident enough to lead you down their dark alley of forbidden delights - without so much as even a mere inkling of embarrassment."

Tammin, Western Australia

Tammin is a town in the central agricultural region of Western Australia, 184 km east of Perth and midway between the towns of Cunderdin and Kellerberrin on the Great Eastern Highway.

The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.

It also serves as a stop on the Prospector and MerredinLink rural train services.

History
The first European to settle in the area was John Packham in 1893. The railway to Southern Cross was constructed through the area in 1894–95, and Tammin was one of the original stations when the line opened in 1895. As the surrounding area developed for agriculture, there was sufficient demand for land in the area for the government to declare a townsite, and Tammin townsite was gazetted in 1899.

Tammin is an Aboriginal name derived from the nearby Tammin Rock, a name first recorded by the explorer Charles Cooke Hunt in 1864. The rock possibly derives its name from the "Tammar", the Aboriginal name of the "black gloved wallaby", which was once found in this area. Another source records it as possibly meaning "a grandmother or a grandfather".

The local Agricultural Hall was opened in 1911 by the Minister of Agriculture.

In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.

Rail services
Transwa's MerredinLink and Prospector services stop at Tammin, at least one service each day.

Thomas McCosker v The State

Thomas McCosker v The State was a criminal appeal case before the High Court of Fiji.

Thomas McCosker, an Australian, visited Fiji in March 2005. He was subsequently arrested, tried and sentenced to two years' jail for sodomy. An appeal was raised on the basis of Fiji's constitution outlawing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. On Friday 26 August 2005, his conviction, and that of Dhirendra Nadan, the other man involved, was overturned on constitutional grounds.

Anti-sodomy laws were found to be incompatible with the country's 1997 Constitutional Bill of Rights. The debate over what conduct is culturally acceptable was at the heart of the constitutional arguments which were presented during the McCoskar High Court case (Nadan & McCoskar v State also cited as DPP v Nadan and McCoskar) and raised questions about the values enshrined in the country's Bill of Rights. The Constitution of Fiji was adopted in 1997 with a mandate to break the racially divisive legacy of the Fiji coups of 1987. Section 43, concerned the respect of traditional Fijian cultural values, in particular traditional titles, obligations, customs and ceremonies. It was designed to protect the specific interests of the indigenous Fijian communities. While the Methodist church in particular has always argued that homosexuality offends it on a cultural level, and it is not culturally appropriate for Fiji, the High Court disagreed with those arguments. The case is being seen as a victory for gay rights, in a country whose colonial legacy is dominated by strict Methodist values. (Most ethnic Fijians generally regard themselves as Christians, with approximately 65 per cent belonging to the Methodist faith.)

Unusually among common law countries, section 43 of the Fijian Constitution requires that the Fiji Bill of Rights be interpreted in light of "public international law" and so it was necessary for Judge Winter to call on this body of international standards in deciding the case. The judgment calls very heavily on international standards and the way in which courts in other parts of the world have dealt with these issues.

The Fiji Human Rights Commission submitted that sections 175 (a) and (c) and 177 of the Fiji Penal Code had become invalid immediately after the 1997 Constitution came into effect. In its submission, the Commission also stated that sections 175 (a) and (c) and 177 of the Penal Code were contrary to Section 38 (2) of the Constitution as it unfairly discriminated on the ground of sexual orientation. All human rights cases on this point internationally, including in South Africa, have come to similar conclusions. The Commission also submitted that this was really a case of prosecution for the wrong offence and that the relevant authorities should have considered charging McCoskar and Nandan for trafficking in pornography under section 188 of the Penal Code.

The Fiji Human Rights Commission stated in relation to this case: "Trafficking in obscene publications is part of a larger picture of trafficking in persons. This involves the illegal trade in human beings and a modern form of slavery. Many victims of human trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of sexual exploitation and forced labour. Trafficking in persons is a gross violation of human rights. It violates the universal human right to life, liberty, and freedom from slavery in all its forms."

McCoskar in mitigation in the Magistrates Court had accepted that the photographs he took were intended for sale on the internet. Fiji has ratified the Agreement for the Suppression of the Circulation of Obscene Publications. As such, the Fijian Government is obliged to play its role in helping curb the rising problem of trafficking in pornography and sexual exploitation of vulnerable groups of people, especially those who are poor.

McCoskar told the Melbourne newspaper The Age: "I would have liked the Australian Government to have taken more interest in my case". The Australian government offered the usual consular assistance, but did not condemn the sentence. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch had both condemned the conviction.

List of Namibia ODI cricketers

Since their first match in 2003, 40 players have represented Namibia in One Day Internationals (ODIs). A One Day International is an international cricket match between two representative teams, each having ODI status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). An ODI differs from Test matches in that the number of overs per team is limited, and that each team has one innings.

Namibia are associate members of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Namibia played their first ODI matches during the 2003 Cricket World Cup after qualifying by reaching the final of the 2001 ICC Trophy. At the World Cup, Namibia played in six One Day internationals (the ICC granted ODI status to all matches played at this competition). Namibia were defeated in each of their six matches; their best result came in a 55 run loss to England. These were the only ODI matches played by Namibia until they gained ODI status after reaching the final of the 2019 ICC World Cricket League Division Two.

Kellerberrin, Western Australia

Kellerberrin is a town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 205 km east of Perth on the Great Eastern Highway. The town serves as a stop on the Prospector and MerredinLink rural train services. It is also located on the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail.

History
Early settlers from 1890 to 1910 from Ireland settled in the area of Kellerberrin and Wittem. Their family name was English. A road was named after this family. The railway line from Northam to Southern Cross was constructed through here in 1893–94, and this section opened for traffic in 1895. Kellerberrin was one of the original stations when the line opened. By 1898 there was a demand for small blocks of land in the area, and the government surveyed a number of 20 acre lots the same year. The area was gazetted as Kellerberrin townsite in 1901, and the government soon made more land available for settlers.

In 1898 the Agricultural Hall was officially opened. It was built with granite walling and brick dressing with a jarrah and iron roof. The building is located on the north side of the railway line, adjoining the post office. The hall is now used as a folk museum.

In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.

The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.

In September 2023, a worker at a grain silo shot and killed another worker, then shot himself following a standoff with police.

Etymology
The name Kellerberrin is Aboriginal, and is derived from the name of a nearby hill. The hill was first recorded as "Killaburing Hill" by an explorer in 1861, but in 1864 the explorer Charles Hunt recorded it as Kellerberrin Hill. One source claims that Kellerberrin is the name for the fierce ants that are found in the area, while another gives it as meaning "camping place near where rainbow birds are found" – kalla means camping place or place of, and berrin berrin is the rainbow bird.

Climate
Kellerberrin has a semi-arid climate with hot dry summers and slightly wet winters.

Rail services
Transwa's MerredinLink and Prospector services stop at Kellerberrin, at least one service each day.

Notable people
Kellerberrin is the birthplace of:

 * Barbara York Main (1929–2019) – Australian arachnologist, author, and adjunct professor at the University of Western Australia.
 * Jessie Pengilly (1918–1945) – world record holding road and track cyclist
 * Derek Kickett – Australian rules footballer former player for North Melbourne, Essendon and Sydney. Won 1987 Sandover Medal.
 * Byron Pickett – Australian rules footballer acknowledged as one of the finest Aboriginal players in the history of the game, played for Port Adelaide (SAFL), North Melbourne, Port Adelaide (AFL) and Melbourne. Won 2004 Norm Smith Medal.
 * Peter Walsh (1935–2015) – Australian Senator, served as Minister for Resources and Energy and Finance Minister
 * Nicky Winmar – Australian rules footballer, played for South Fremantle, St Kilda and Western Bulldogs.

Talk:White Castle (restaurant)

White Castle as the "Official Food of the Kansas City Royals".
I think that White Castle should be the "Official Food of the Kansas City Royals". My reasoning is that the shield logo for the Royals has a castle motif. That's why White Castle would be a good identifier with the "white castle" identified with the Royals. It could possibly increase product awareness (via television) and increase sales.

Cliff Scott — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.172.245.201 (talk) 20:58, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * What's that have to do with the Wikipedia article on the subject? (And why would White Castle pay for sponsorship rights to a team in a city in which they have no restaurants?)
 * Nateji77 (talk) 05:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

5 Holes
Came across a different date for the introduction of the holes: "1949: The use of a five-holed hamburger patty begins, speeding the cooking time and eliminating flipping."

But then:

"As both labor and meat prices crept upward, the company scrambled to find a way to cut costs. In 1951, the home office leadership decided to take the unprecedented step of trimming the size of its hamburger patty from one to eight-tenths of an ounce, effectively getting two additional patties from each pound of ground beef. To achieve this reduction in size, White Castle made its square patty thinner and bored its distinctive five holes in the meat.

Originally proposed on an anonymous employee suggestion sheet in 1947 by Cincinnati operator Earl Howell, this five-hole concept was slow to catch the attention or interest of company officials. But when White Castle finally "downsized" its patty in 1951, it publicly touted the inclusion of the holes as a way to make the meat cook faster, in less than a minute, while also allowing more steam and juices into the bun on top. Billy Ingram praised this new innovation for its speed and efficiency.The publicized rationale was accurate, as the patty did cook faster, but the main purpose for the five holes was to use 10 percent less meat--while still charging the same price as before.

… Few customers either noticed or cared about the smaller size. … Within a few months, all the White Castle areas has adopted this new patty … Almost immediately after the introduction of the patties with holes, the government lifted its price ceilings on retail food" (Hogan, Selling 'em by the Sack, pp.117-118)

But then "In 1949, an employee named Earl Howell calculated the amount of time that it took to break hamburgers apart in a presentable fashion, eventually leading him to create the perforated burger." from the History of the hamburger article. Looks like the source is Ingram's All this from a 5-cent hamburger (which I haven't read). Hogan's source is a copy of the original suggestion sheet on file at the Ohio State Historical Society.

Requested move

Not moved. There is a clear absence of consensus for the proposal. Although the proposed topic clearly gets the most pageviews, which is a good reason to move a page, the lack of international recognition for the proposed topic is an equally legitimate reason to maintain the status quo. bd2412 T 17:21, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

– I'm rather sure that the restaurant chain is the primary topic based on page views alone. All other pages on the disambiguation page have at max about 20 views in any given day in the last 30 days, whereas the restaurant has around 600 views on its most viewed day, and the rest of the days in that range are at least 100.

 * Oppose – a restaurant chain is not more imporant than all the other uses; this is what disambig pages are for. Dicklyon (talk) 05:34, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Support. The restaurant chain has 40 times as many page views as the castle in Wales, which is only viewed about 12 times a day. I don't doubt that the castle is significant enough to have an article, but the restaurant chain is clearly the primary topic with respect to usage. Meanwhile, the restaurant chain is also significant for historical and educational reasons: the chain is older than McDonald's, is connected to the popularization of sliders, has its own historic buildings on the National Register of Historic Places (White Castle Building No. 8), and appears prominently in cultural production. Dekimasu よ! 08:09, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Support. As someone who has never heard of the castle in Wales, (as someone outside of the UK would obviously noovt likely to have heard of a castle in wales..) White Castle the chain restaurant is the obvious primary topic.  There are movies made about it, it is a huge part of American culture, as opposed to a castle in Wales, which has little to no influence on the culture of Wales.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.251.153.167 (talk) 23:29, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Support largely per the argument put forth by .

Egsan Bacon (talk) 17:27, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose both. I'm admittedly surprised at the impressive claims to cultural significance made at White Castle (restaurant) and also at White Castle Building No. 8, fascinating stuff, but on the other hand it's not even a national chain, let alone now represented in any other country (pity... I'd like to try them). Now look at the DAB... blue links to two castles, a small town, a whisky... the fact that Americans generally have heard of the hamburgers and not the castles is not surprising, but this is Wikipedia for all English speakers. Best left as is unless there's a lot more evidence than we have so far. Andrewa (talk) 17:20, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - it's not even a national chain; even in the USA, for many the only significance would be having heard the name in a movie. Also, the DAB page only averages 40 views; even if all those were seeking the restaurant (which is unlikely, but without tracking of page clicks it can't be shown one way or the other) that small number of DAB hits suggests that not many people looking for the restaurant chain are landing at the DAB by mistake. From a world-wide usage perspective, the restaurant certainly wouldn't be a primary topic; and from a world-wide long-term significance, the restaurant would not be a primary topic. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:24, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support The restaurant is certainly the primary topics in Canada, which is understandable given geographical proximity. That being said, I'm curious as to what areas of the English speaking work other than the UK that the castle in wales would be primary topic, and if it's even the more common topic in the UK. So I ran the a news search result through Google.co.uk for sources only in the UK. The result shows a preference for the restaurant, with 215 hits for the restuarant|countryGB&cr=countryUK|countryGB and 55 for the castle|countryGB&tbs=ctr:countryUK|countryGB&tbm=nws&q=%22white+castle%22+wales. For news result on Google India for India only (in English), 36 hits for the restaurant and none for the castle. Pretty much the same thing in South Africa. So with that in mind, I'd like to see some demonstration from those opposing to show that the castle in wales is in fact more prominent by some method other than simply saying so.--Labattblueboy (talk) 21:57, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: Good work and reasonable request, and you have me thinking (but no change of vote as yet). One quibble though... my reason for opposing is not that I believe that there's another primary meaning (such as the castle in wales) but rather that there is none. Evidence to support the move doesn't just need to show that meaning of the restaurant chain is more prominent than this one other, but rather that it's more prominent than all other meanings, taken together. Or that's how I read WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Andrewa (talk) 12:17, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, exactly. Nobody is arguing the Welsh castle is the primary topic, just that there isn't one. The restaurant chain may be the primary topic in North America, but that's irrelevant to Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:02, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

I updated this map: File:Krystal-vs-whitecastle-locations-map.svg. It was removed from the article a few years ago and we seem to have moved away from mentioning locations in relation to Krystal.

More on White Castle
About 15 to 25 years ago, a burger chain was started in the Los Angeles Area, called "West Castle". The burgers were similar to White Castle's, but had bone chips in the meat sometimes, which made them unappetizing. Within 2 years or so, all restaurants in the chain had closed.

We used to get a Frosty shake with our White Castles. My understanding is that Dave (founder of Wendys) bought the Frosty business from the owners of the business (not White Castle). Therefore, when you get a shake now at White Castle, it is not nearly as good as a Frosty.Toopsla (talk) 22:11, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Palekh miniature

Palekh miniature (Палехская миниатюра) is a Russian folk handicraft of a miniature painting, which is done with tempera paints on varnished articles made of papier-mâché (including the creation of small boxes, cigarette cases, and powder cases).

History
Palekh Russian lacquer art on papier-mâché first appeared in 1923 in the village of Palekh, located in the Palekhsky District (Ivanovo Oblast), and is based on a long local history of icon painting. This handicraft and style of miniature painting bore different names throughout its development, such as the Palekh Artel of Ancient Painting (since 1924), Palekh Artists’ Association (since 1932), and Artistic Production Workshops of the Artistic Fund of the USSR (since 1953).

The technology of making a semi-finished product was borrowed from the lacquer handicraft masters of Fedoskino (see Fedoskino miniature). The Palekh miniatures usually represent characters from real life, literary works, fairy tales, bylinas, and songs. They are painted with local bright paints over the black background and are known for their delicate and smooth design, abundance of golden shading, and accurate silhouettes of flattened figures, which often cover the surface of the lids and sides of the articles completely. Poetic magic of the Palekh characters, decorativeness of landscapes and architecture, and elongated proportions of the figures go back to the icon-painting traditions. The miniatures are usually set off with a complicated pattern made with gold dissolved in aqua regia. Palekh is the most renowned of four such famous villages, the others being Kholuy, Mstyora, and Fedoskino, each producing similar, but clearly distinct artistic style.

The art of miniature painting is still alive today. Nowadays there are workshops of the Artistic Fund of Russia, as well as small private studios and independent artists in Palekh. Palekh miniature artists are trained at the Palekh Art College founded in 1935.

Works by Palekh masters are kept in numerous museums of Russia and abroad. The State Palekh Art Museum in Palekh boasts the biggest miniature painting collection, comprising over two thousand works.

Once Upon a Time in China and America

Once Upon a Time in China and America, also known as Once Upon a Time in China VI, (Chinese: 黃飛鴻之西域雄獅) is a 1997 Hong Kong martial arts western film directed by Sammo Hung in his last directorial effort until 2016, who also worked on the film's fight choreography. The film is the sixth and final installment in the Once Upon a Time in China film series. It also saw the return of Jet Li as Cantonese martial arts master and folk hero Wong Fei-hung, who had been replaced by Vincent Zhao in the fourth and fifth films. The film was released in Hong Kong on 1 February 1997 and garnered positive reviews.

Plot
The film is set in the early 20th century. Wong Fei-hung, along with his romantic interest 13th Aunt and apprentice Clubfoot, travels from China to America to visit another of his apprentices, "Bucktooth" So, who has recently opened a branch of Po-chi-lam, Wong's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, in San Francisco. While travelling by carriage across the wilderness, they pick up a friendly cowboy, Billy, who is almost dying of thirst. When the party stops to have lunch, a bunch of hostile Native Americans ambush them. Although Wong, 13th Aunt and Clubfoot escape unharmed, their carriage is destroyed. 13th Aunt and Clubfoot are rescued and taken to "Bucktooth" So's clinic. Wong, however, hits his head on a rock and loses his memory as a consequence. He is saved by another Native American tribe.

In San Francisco, Billy tries to stop the corrupt mayor from imposing discriminatory laws to make life difficult for the Chinese migrants. Meanwhile, the Native American tribe that saved Wong gets into trouble with a more powerful rival tribe. The chief's son, Fierce Eagle, is injured by the rival tribe's leader. To everyone's surprise, Wong defeats the rival tribe's leader and half of his men, causing the rival tribe to flee in fear. He eventually makes his way to San Francisco and regains his memory with the help of his companions, but forgets everything that happened during his bout of amnesia.

In the meantime, the mayor has fallen into debt so he hires a Mexican bandit to help him rob the bank and frames the people in Po-chi-lam for the robbery while he secretly plans to abscond with the loot. Wong and his companions are arrested and sentenced to death by hanging. Just then, the Mexican bandit discovers that the mayor has paid him less than he expects so he returns to claim his money, thus revealing the truth. In the ensuing fight, the mayor is killed and Wong manages to capture the bandit and clear Po-chi-lam's name. At the end of the film, Billy is elected as the new mayor while Wong, 13th Aunt and Clubfoot return to China.
