Talk:Demetrios Palaiologos

Untitled
these were two different persons, they should have both their own articles. Arrigo 10:12, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

article for Demetrius
Rjecina had produced the following:

After the fall of Constantinople to Mehmed II, the only free province of the Byzantine Empire was the Despotate of Morea, ruled by two brothers of the dead emperor Constantine XI Palaeologus, Thomas and Demetrius Palaeologus. It was never expected that these two surviving sons of Manuel II Palaeologus would ever rule. Only after the deaths of their older brothers Andronicus, despot of Thessalonica, Theodore, despot of Morea, John VIII Palaeologus, Constantine XI, and two brothers in childhood, were they able to claim the throne.

Twenty years before the fall of Constantinople, Demetrius Palaeologus tried for the first time to take power with military help from Hungary. He escaped to that court demanding protection and military help against brothers who wanted to kill him. After that he made peace with his brothers many times and many times again tried to take power with help from another power: the Turks.

When Mehmed II invaded Morea in 1460, Thomas, who had been fighting with Demetrius for the last seven years, did not have enough soldiers to protect the wall on which so much money and time had been spent in the 15th century. The formal reason for the invasion was to help Demetrius, who had asked for Turkish help to restore him to power. Thomas, after hearing of the invasion, escaped with his family to Italy where he was recognized as Byzantine emperor. Demetrius, however, received news from Mehmed II that he was not to rule the country. Demetrius lived in his golden Turkish cage until his death.

Mehmed II conquered the Empire of Trebizond, de facto the last free territory of the ancient Roman state, in the year 1461 (although Mehmed proclaimed himself "Roman Emperor" after capturing Constantinople).

Demetrius and Mehmed inheritance
After conquest of Constantinople Mehmed II has declared himself emperor but this can be only legal ( for inheritance right ) if it's possible that Osman ( XIII century ) has not attacked Byzantium, but this has been revolt. First fortress Osman has taken in alliance with Byzantium garnison ( because they have not received wage ) which has revolted and accepted him for ruler. Children and grandchildren of that revolted fortress commander has been ministers in Turkish government in next 200 years.

Claim that daughter of Demetrius has been favorite wife is historical crazy because Turkish rulers has not been having favorite wife for next 100 years and in the end she has finished her life on one greek island and not in Constantinople harem. From that point Mehmed can't be Byzantine heir.rjecina year 2006.

Khemkaran

Khem Karan is a town and a nagar panchayat in Tarn Taran district of Patti tehsil of the Majha region of the Indian state of Punjab.

It was the site of a tank battle in 1965. The Battle of Asal Uttar was the second largest tank battle of the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War. The battle led to the creation of Patton Nagar (or Patton City/Graveyard) at the site of the battle viz, Khem Karan.

History
Khem Karan is an old town. It was visited by Guru Tegh Bahadur (1621–1675). Previously in Lahore District before the partition of British India. It became a part of Amritsar District afterwards.

Many of the town's residents migrated from nearby villages between 1947 and 1965, such as Nathuwala, Qadiwind, Rohiwal, and Sehjra. The town's Muslim residents migrated primarily to the city of Kasur, 8 km away in Pakistan.

The town used to be accessible to the city of Kasur, Pakistan 8 km away, and to Ferozepur 35 km away until India and Pakistan enacted border controls in 1953 and further restricted travel in 1965. The residents of Khem Karan were essentially cut off from both towns - Kasur lies in Pakistan, while the road to Ferozepur cuts through Pakistan, creating a 70 kilometre detour.

India-Pakistan war of 1965
On 8 September, the Pakistani 1st Armoured Division and 11 Infantry Division under the command of Maj Gen Nasir Khan pushed an offensive towards Khem Karan, with the intent to capture Amritsar (a major city in Punjab, India) and the bridge on River Beas to Jalandhar. India then launched a counter-offensive. After India breached the Madhupur canal on 11 September, the Khem Karan counter-offensive was halted, affecting Pakistan's strategy substantially. The Pakistani forces engaged with an outnumbered Indian force comprising only the 2nd Independent Armoured Brigade commanded by Brig Thomas K. Theogaraj, who formed a defensive horseshoe formation to counter the advancing Pakistani force.

Demographics
India census, Khem Karan had a population of 13,446. Males constituted 55% and females 45%. Khem Karan has an average literacy rate of 61.55%, lower than the state average of 75.84%: male literacy is 67%, and female literacy is 54.85%. In Khem Karan, 12.14% of the population is under 6 years of age.

The table below shows the population of different religious groups in Khem Karan town and their gender ratio, as of 2011 census.

Geography
It is located 56km from Tarn Taran Sahib. It is in Tarn Taran district.

Politics
The city is part of the Khemkaran South Assembly Constituency.

Tourism
In this village is the mausoleum (mazaar) of Sufi saint known as Pir Baba Sheikh Brahm. Twice in a year a fair (mela) is held there.

Economy
Khemkaran is mostly an agricultural village.

Date Formatting
Hi TopQuark, Thank you for the welcome, and for the advice on date formatting. I'll keep it in mind. For the record, in certain parts of the article the format 2005-11-17 was being used, and my intention was just to change the format into 17 November 2005. However, I inadvertently ended up destroying the links. I'll watch my fingers next time. --Tito4000 15:31, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for your kind words. I'm going to answer at length on Talk:Esmeralda. Conf 17:17, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Is War of the Pacific too long?
I don't think that the article is actually detailing any important fact of the war, but rather a quick review of the most important military actions of it. I don't think that banner belongs to the article itself. Messhermit 23:51, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Hey, working with you has been is quite enjoyable and I appreciate your feedback. Ah, the banner should not be there for long, I will remove it myself after some more discussion, if it is still there by Friday this week. I am actually 100% on board with the quick review approach. The current section on the war itself is very close to what I believe it should be. I intend to summarize some aspects, and insert additional info, but that should not be a significant change.

 * I do have a stylistic issue with an extensive section on an auxiliary topic, in this case submarine technology. The amount of detail here is astounding: we can find the name of the transport that took it to Callao, the major development dates, even how many people participated in initial testing! Please do not get me wrong, this is good material but, hey, that is a lot of detail.

 * Also, I have noticed the WotP article go over the 32K recommended limit last week. This is only a recommendation, but my biggest concern is actually not scaring casual readers off. We will see where discussion takes us on this. Cheers! TopQuark 11:49, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, I agree with the issue about the Submarine. It should be deal as a separate topic. About the war itself, I think that it is safe to procced with the battles now, cause the article itself it's a good summary of everything in the war. We should also expand the section about the most relevant characters of the war, and learn more about foreign ones (they are the least remembered unfortunately).

 * Maybe we can send some of the info about the territorial issue between Chile and Bolivia to another topic, that could deal more properly with the situation.

 * And yes, It was quite nice to work with you! Cheers, and send me a reply to my propositions. Messhermit 22:52, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

 * After some feedback, I am inclined to break the submarine off to its own article and keep tabs on the rest. The original Bolivia/Chile dispute is one of my candidates for spinoff, if necessary as Jmabel suggested (and it may well be, if we go into the population angle and dig deeper into each country's documents). The current Bolivia/Chile issue is a different story.

 * By the way, did you notice that the latest IP user's contribution seems to have been either a typo or a browser error? I was about to remove the banner as promised, but noticed this and decided to keep it. I will remove the banner as soon as I am able to write a fair article on Toro.

 * Finally, I intend to weave the actors of the war into the main story. History is the best story you can find, they say, and these participants do provide a lot of depth to the story. The Lynch expedition, the Diplomatic Corps, the neutral fleet are all related.

 * In any case, I think we are ready to start with the Battle of Arica... Cheers! TopQuark 09:42, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Chorrillos as a Battle?
I think that you may have the wrong name for the battle. The actual battle is called Battle of San Juan, and it was fought outside the capital. Chorrillos was later looted, but at any rate there was a battle over there. Maybe you can specify in the list of battles that you have as Campaings ?. Cheers !

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ajax (Declarative Programming)

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. Woohookitty 08:00, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Ajax (Declarative Programming)

 * Delete. The Ajax article already exists. This is additional original research. Not notable. --Sleepyhead 10:14, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. The Ajax article explains the Javascript approach to AJAX programming. This new article provides information on Declarative (XML tag based) programming approach to create Rich User Interface. This is a fundamental different programming approach that is worth mentioning (similar to discusion about relational database vs xml database). Both categories exist and are are worth mentioning. Thank you for your future contributions to the Declarative AJAX article. -- Jouk 31 August 2005

 *  Delete Strong Delete. The Ajax article exists and is active; Google shows 134 unique hits for the search term Ajax "declarative programming", and as far as I can tell, none of them have to do with the two terms combined into a single concept. This is original research, and it's by the same person who has been somewhat spammy about adding links to his company to the Ajax article, the Rich Internet Application article, and  created an article about his company. Jason t c 13:27, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: I hadn't even noticed that the article was authored by user Jouk pleiter, and openly states that the "declarative programming" model of Ajax was "introduced in a vision paper by Backbase's Jouk Pleiter." This pretty much seals the spamminess of this all for me; I've changed my vote to a strong delete.  (And note that the only editor of the page other than the VfD nominator is  62.58.16.163, who acknowledges that he is Jouk Pleiter in this diff.  Again, further reinforces my feelings on this article, and on his behavior.) Jason t c 14:25, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Policy violations DV8 2XL 14:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment Why Keep this Article? Of course I'm open about my identity. The programming model of Declarative AJAX is very different from JavaScripting AJAX. If you look at declarative GUI programming models like XUL (mozilla foundation), MXML (macromedia), Laszlo (OpenLaszlo) and XAML (microsoft) it is very logic to have a dedicated page on Declarative AJAX. I agree with you that it is a sub flavor of the overall AJAX trend. But I don't see the argument that sub-flavors cannot have their own article. The fact that the previous mentioned declarative GUI programming models all have their onw article, justify (in my opinion) the reason for a Declarative AJAX page. Regarding to your point that at this moment there is only one contributor: it seems to me that there are many pages on WP that have only one or two contributors. The Ajax page seem to have a limited number of contributors as well (one being yourself and sleepyhead if i'm right). If I understand it correctly any topic should have the right to be listed on WP (as long as it follows the guideliness) and it also should have the chance to allow other people to contribute. Jouk pleiter

 * Jouk, please only vote once. In addition, nobody's arguing that the fact that the article has only one author is an issue, but rather that the article acknowledges that that one author -- you -- is the originator of the concept of "declarative programming" in Ajax.  (I point you again to WP:VANITY, the vanity guidelines, that frown upon article creation under these pretenses.)  In addition, absent any discussion of who authored the page, the concept that has no notability whatsoever (see the Google search above); if it takes off and becomes something huge, then perhaps the article will resurface at that point.  I just posted a note to your account user page, in the spirit of helping you understand a bit more what Wikipedia is about and what the guidelines are regarding behavior here; I am being honest in my offer to help you understand why creation of an article like this isn't the best thing to do, and likewise, why the addition of links all over Wikipedia to the company you're CEO of isn't the best thing to do. Jason t c 15:15, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete merge any good content into main AJAX article. --Macrakis 15:40, 31 August 2005 (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 NIKE. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name NIKE~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:42, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Kaysersberg

Kaysersberg (Kaisersberg ; Kaiserschbarig) is a historical town and former commune in Alsace in northeastern France. The name is German for Emperor's Mountain. The high fortress that dominates the town serves as a reminder of both its strategic importance and its warlike past.

Kaysersberg lies in the canton of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, which itself is a subdivision of the Colmar-Ribeauvillé arrondissement. It was a separate commune until 1 January 2016, when it was merged into the new commune of Kaysersberg Vignoble together with nearby Kientzheim and Sigolsheim, and remains its seat.

The town was first mentioned in 1227, when Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor purchased the castle and gave orders to refortify it. During the Middle Ages, Kaysersberg, a member of the Décapole, prospered. In 1648, the city became a part of France, although most inhabitants continued to speak German. From 1871 to 1918 and (again from 1940 to 1944) Kaysersberg belonged to Germany.

In 2017 Kaysersberg was voted the Village préféré des Français (Village favoured by the French). The inhabitants are called Kaysersbergeois.

Geography
Kaysersberg lies about 12 km northwest of Colmar, on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains, on the river Weiss.

Kaysersberg lies on the Route des Vins d'Alsace (Alsace "Wine Route"). Kaysersberg is north of Ammerschwihr and south of Riquewihr.

Economy
The area around Kaysersberg is one of the finest wine-growing areas in Alsace. The first vines were brought here in the 16th century from Hungary, and wine production is still an important aspect of the town's economy today. Wine produced from the pinot gris variety is a local specialty.

Culture
Kaysersberg is a historic town, that has preserved many architectural monuments. These include:
 * Église Sainte-Croix, the oldest parts of which date form the 13th century
 * Hôtel de ville (town hall), 16th century, renaissance style
 * Oberhof chapel, 14th century
 * Saint-Michel chapel, 16th century
 * Château de Kaysersberg or Schlossberg, 13th century, partly ruined

Tourism
Besides the fact that Alsace wine is produced locally, there is the ruin of Kaysersberg Castle. The ruins of Château de Wineck in Katzenthal, Château de Lupfen-Schwendi and Château de Reichenstein in Kientzheim are within walking distance.

Notable people

 * Matthäus Zell (1477–1548), Protestant reformer
 * Albert Schweitzer (1875–1965), theologian, musician, philosopher, and physician
 * Anthony Bourdain (1956–2018), chef and writer, was found dead in Kaysersberg

Kulisteinen

The Kulisteinen, also known as the Kuli stone and listed as N 449 in the Rundata catalog, is a stone with a runic inscription that was originally located at Kuløy in Smøla municipality, Norway.

Description
For over 900 years the Kuli stone had been at Kuløy, but then 1913 it was moved to Vitenskapsmuseet i Trondheim. It had a cross on the broad side, indicating that it was a Christian marker. Then in 1956 curator Aslak Liestøl noticed that the stone had a runic inscription along the narrow edge. It reads in Old Norse: "Tore and Hallvard erected this stone ... (for) twelve winters/years Christianity had been in Norway".

In the mid-1990s the inscription was subjected to laser scanning and microcartography in an attempt to arrive at a more sure reading. It was then suggested that the word translated "been" (vært) above should be read as um rétt, and that this could mean that Christianity had "supplied law and order" for twelve years. The runic stone would then have been propaganda for the new religion, Christianity. There are, however, serious paleographic and philological/linguistic problems with the new reading and interpretation.

It was first suggested by Nils Halan that the inscription refers to a national event, the establishment of the law that formally made Christianity the religion of Norway at the Moster Thing in either 1022 or 1024 by King Olaf Haraldsson. The Kuli stone was later dated to 1034 since it was originally found adjacent to a Viking Age boardwalk dated dendrochronologically to that year, on the assumption that the two were contemporaneous. Others have suggested that the inscription refers to the conquest of Norway in 995 by King Olaf Tryggvason and his forced conversions.

The transcription and translation below use that accepted in the Rundata database. The runic text refers to Nóregi, or Norway. One other Viking Age runestone refers to Norway, the larger Jelling Stone DR 42, which was raised by King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark and uses the name Norveg. The Kuli stone also marks the first known use of the word "Christianity" in Norway.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Remixography of Mariah Carey

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was DELETE. I'm being generous here, and considering the commentary by Grey Pursuit to likely be the anon who had previously been editing the article; it seems fair to allow the principal author to want to keep. I'm also considering OmegaWikipedia, they aren't a AfD regular, but that is no disqualification and they edit extensively in pop music articles. The comment by Rightsaidfred was their 8th edit and disregarded. At raw vote count, that's 11d-5k and just above the traditionalish 2/3 threshold. Reading the debate, there are many delete votes that feel this is either a collection of indiscriminate information or a 'meta-article', and the few reasons associated with the keepers don't persuade me that the ordinary thresholding is not a useful guidance here. -Splash 01:27, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Remixography of Mariah Carey
The information is all included in the individual articles; this is just fan-cruft creep, with no encyclopædic value. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 10:17, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Creep? OmegaWikipedia 04:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Just to keep things clear. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 10:17, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. There's quite a bit of precedent for keeping discography info, and since Carey is undoubtedly a popular singer with a considerable history, we can afford to have some detail in this area.  That said, I wouldn't want to see similar "remixographies" for every artist who's had a single or two, but this should stay. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  10:58, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. We are standing at the top of the slippery slope, staring down. Nandesuka 11:45, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * DeleteWikipedia is not an indiscriminant collection of information. DV8 2XL 12:21, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Besides which, something like Discogs.com is the best place for this kind of thing; once this article is up, people will create remixographies for everyone, including themselves, non-notable artists etc, because it's much easier to do than researching the life and times of King Henry II etc. Perhaps there could be a separate music Wikipedia. In the scheme of things, Mariah Carey is a transient phenomenon. After she grows old there'll be nothing left. Pop music is visible, because it's on television, but doesn't change the world. -Ashley Pomeroy 12:44, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, encyclopedic. Kappa 13:11, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, must not allow precedent creep. A "Remixography" (a neologism in itself) is not a "discography".  And discographys shouldn't have their own articles, anyway.  Proto t c 14:21, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Obvious delete, per Mel.— Encephalon |  ζ   14:35:30, 2005-08-31 (UTC)
 * weak delete this is basically a meta-article. its an article about articles. yet....Roodog2k 16:27, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, if the title of the article is changed to a 'List of Official Remixes' instead of 'Remixography', then the debate over whether it is a discography or not could be settled. However, if some still believe that the article should be deleted, wouldn't that put into question other articles such as the 'Videography of Mariah Carey', where the information included could be found in detail in the individual singles articles, and the 'List of Songs By Mariah Carey', which can easily be found through articles based on each of her albums? Both of those articles also happen to be 'meta-articles'. On the matter of whether it is necessary of not, considering the miniscule impact made by pop music on the world, isn't a strong enough argument; it isn't the only thing that is unimportant, on a global scale, featured in this encyclopedia. An encyclopedia is a 'general' compendium of knowledge, that is not limited to 'worldly' information. At this moment of time, Mariah Carey, unarguably, is a well-known icon and if ever they'll be "nothing left" of her legacy, then the existence of not just this article, but a large portion of her encyclopedia entry could be debated. Surely, that itself would be unnecessary, wouldn't you think? Grey Pursuit 17:27, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. looks like a personal research paper. --Rightsaidfred 01:49, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Among other reasons on why this article should stay, songs like "Vanishing" which were not singles do not have articles and the listing of their other versions will be lost. OmegaWikipedia 04:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, this sould be covered in the song or album pages.--nixie 05:45, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per WP:NOT.  —RaD Man (talk) 07:01, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Im gonna have to say delete. While the information is a bit useful, its also trivial, I dont think people will necessarily look in an encyclopedia to seek the remixes of an artist. Additionally, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminant collection of information  Journalist  C./ Holla @ me!

Ashfield, Western Australia

Ashfield is a residential suburb of Perth, Western Australia in the Town of Bassendean. The suburb is located along the Swan River. The Midland line passes through the suburb and it is serviced by the Ashfield railway station.

It is home to Ashfield Reserve, which also contains Ashfield Arena. It also contains Ashfield Flats, the largest river flat remaining in the Perth metropolitan area.

The housing was originally established as small collection of railway houses near the train line. In the late 1950s early 1960s the area experienced a small boom of housing (400 houses) mostly built by the then State Housing Commission partly funded by the sale of half the properties to individuals. In the late 1960s the State Housing started to reacquire some of those properties. During the late 1990s the suburb underwent a revamp driven by the State Housing Commission, now called the Department of Housing. This occurred in conjunction with the infill sewage project which was created to convert Perth homes from septic tanks and leach drains to mains sewage. They bulldozed houses on land where they had adjoining properties. For every three houses removed five to seven were built in their place. The majority of these were sold off to low income and first home buyers.

The Department of Housing still owns about 22% of the houses (as opposed to their stated goal of 10%), and uses their housing stock as subsidised rental accommodation.

The deepest point of the Swan River upstream from Melville Water occurs in Ashfield. It was in this area the farthest upstream recording of sharks occurred with one being caught in the late 1970s.

Schools
Ashfield has one primary school located inside called Ashfield Primary School and the closest high school is Cyril Jackson Senior Campus

The Plane Makers

The Plane Makers is a British television series created by Wilfred Greatorex and produced by Rex Firkin. ATV made three series for ITV between 1963 and 1965. It was succeeded by The Power Game, which ran for an additional three series from 1965 to 1969. Firkin continued as producer for the first two series, and David Reid took over for series 3.

The Plane Makers
The Plane Makers focused on the power struggles between the trades union and the management on the shop floor of a fictional aircraft factory, Scott Furlong Ltd, as well as the political in-fighting amongst the management themselves. Patrick Wymark proved particularly popular as the anti-heroic Managing Director John Wilder, who was "a bully and a boor", who "is forgiven only if he gets results". Wilder's nemesis in the boardroom in the third series was David Corbett (Alan Dobie), though he was supported by his long-suffering wife Pamela (Ann Firbank, standing in for Barbara Murray from series 2), his Sales Director and confidant Don Henderson (Jack Watling) and ever-reliable secretary Miss Lingard (Norma Ronald). In the first two series their task was to manufacture and sell their aircraft, the Sovereign, to an international market. In series 3, Wilder unexpectedly changed strategy to a military VTOL jet aircraft, by taking over the firm of Ryan Airframe.

The Power Game
According to one report, it was on Gretorex's advice that the drama "left the factory floor for the executive suite". At the end of the final Plane Makers series in January 1965, Wilder left Scott Furlong after a project for the Scott-Furlong Predator, a vertical takeoff aircraft, had failed, and took a seat on the board of a merchant bank while also collecting a knighthood. He returned eleven months later in The Power Game. Bored with being a gentleman of leisure, Wilder uses his influence with the bank on whose board he sits to become Joint Managing Director of an established building firm, Bligh Construction. The first two series of The Power Game in 1965–66 chronicled his attempts to keep control in the face of opposition from the company's elderly founder Caswell Bligh (Clifford Evans), a stern, old-school patriarch who resents what he sees as Wilder's imposition on a family firm, and Bligh's ambitious but inexperienced son Kenneth (Peter Barkworth), who would prefer to be sole managing director, and free of his father's influence. Both Henderson and Miss Lingard were back in harness.

Wilder's private life came more to the fore in The Power Game; he has a long-running affair with a civil servant, Susan Weldon (Rosemary Leach), but is aghast when his wife Pamela also plays the field, with engineering expert Frank Hagadan (George Sewell).

The third and final series in 1969 saw Wilder free from Bligh's—but not from Bligh himself—and working for the British government as a 'roving' Foreign Office Ambassador for Trade.

Patrick Wymark died suddenly in 1970 and it was decided not to continue with the series without its most notorious and memorable character.

Turckheim

Turckheim (Alsatian: Tercka; Türkheim) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. It lies west of Colmar, on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains.

History
Archeological finds indicate the area was already inhabited during Ancient Rome. When the Germanic tribes invaded and crossed the Rhine, the Thuringii settled here and possibly gave their name to the town, which was first Thorencohaime and then Thuringheim. During the High Middle Ages Thuringheim is listed as belonging partly to the abbey of Munster and partly to the manor of Haut-Landsberg, centered in Kientzheim.

Turckheim became a free imperial city in 1312, and in 1315, the construction of ramparts was begun, which are still in good condition. It already had city rights and market rights in 1354, and from 1354 to 1679, Turckheim was part of the Décapole, a league of ten free imperial cities of the Holy Roman Empire. After the Peace of Westphalia (1648), Turckheim and the other Alsatian towns refused to swear allegiance to the French king.

During the Franco-Dutch War, the village of Turckheim was taken by French armies, led by Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, Viscount of Turenne, which subsequently defeated armies of Austria and Brandenburg in what became known as the Battle of Turckheim (1675). Features of the village of Turckheim, especially the gates, help to identify the town in a fan currently in the Fan Museum in Greenwich, England. In 1678, with the signing of the Treaties of Nijmegen, the French king assumed control over Turckheim.

In 1871, at the end of the Franco-Prussian War, the town, with the rest of the Alsace, became part of the German Empire. In 1918, it reverted to France.

Turckheim is one of only a few remaining towns in France with a municipal night watchman, who makes the rounds at 10 p.m. between 1 May and 31 October and on the three Saturdays preceding Christmas. Maintained for tourist reasons, the position commemorates the 13th-century night watchman who prevented a fire.

Geography
Turckheim lies in the valley of the river Fecht, downstream from Munster. It is 6 km west of the city centre of Colmar.

Climate
Turckheim has an oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfb). The average annual temperature in Turckheim is 9.4 C. The average annual rainfall is 828.0 mm with December as the wettest month. The temperatures are highest on average in July, at around 18.3 C, and lowest in January, at around 1.2 C. The highest temperature ever recorded in Turckheim was 35.7 C on 7 August 2015; the coldest temperature ever recorded was -20.0 C on 13 January 1987.

Notable residents

 * Victor Sieg (1837 – 1899), composer and organist, was born in Turckheim. Rue Victor Sieg is named in his honour.

Fish flake

A fish flake is a platform built on poles and spread with boughs for drying cod on the foreshores of fishing villages and small coastal towns in Newfoundland and Nordic countries. Spelling variations for fish flake in Newfoundland include flek, fleyke, fleake, flaik and fleack. The term's first recorded use in connection with fishing appeared in Richard Whitbourne's book Newfoundland (1623, p. 57). In Norway, a flake is known as a hjell.

Construction
The flake consists of a horizontal framework of small poles (called lungers), sometimes covered with spruce boughs, and supported by upright poles, the air having free access beneath. Here the cod are spread out to bleach in the sun and air after the fish has been curing all summer in stages under a heavy spreading of salt. There are two types of common known flakes during the height of the fishing season: one a permanent structure as described above, and the other, called a hand flake, that can be erected on short notice and provides for more area in the event that a fishing season is rather bountiful.

Flake and fish store
The fish flake was a permanent structure that was part of the landscape of a fishing village. These were located not far from the fishing stages that were built on the shoreline. The flake was built high off the ground and required stable construction with a sloping ramp to gain access to it. The ramp was required such that fishermen carrying a full load of fish on barrows were able to negotiate its ascent. At one end of the flake was built a building that served dual purposes. The construction of the building, called a fish store, was of two story construction and had to be large enough to accommodate a season's voyage of fish on the top level. In the lower section of the fish store was kept the gear that was used for fishing: buoys, ropes, killicks, grapples, and other miscellany.

The top level of the store was of an open structure with areas that could be sectioned off to contain neat stacks of dried fish. As the drying process depended on the weather, dry fish spent up to two months in this facility. At the start of the drying season, usually mid-August to early September, the fish would be carried to the flakes and spread out for drying.

Hand flake
The hand flake was built and utilized only when the amount of fish caught during a season called for it; as such these were considered temporary structures. Hand flakes were built low to the ground at about waist height with the surface area about the width of a person's reach stretched in various lengths. These were placed in very tight rows to maximize available drying area. These were conveniently located next to or in close proximity to the main flake for quick storage of the fish whenever the weather was inclement. It was very vital that the fish be kept dry during the curing process to prevent rot and most importantly to prevent fly spits that would lead to maggots. Any of these occurrences could ruin a harvest.

History
Captain George Cartwright had noted the use of flakes in his journal in the 1770s and in common use at that time. The journal of James Younge depicted a sketch of a flake c. 1663; and the illustration from Moll's map (c. 1712) shows little difference in the basic design of the flake.

These structures took on a very distinct appearance within a fishing village, so much so that in his book Voyage to Newfoundland and the Southern Coast of Labrador, Edward Chappell (1818, pp. 44–45) gives a description of the flakes of St. John's not long before the great fire that destroyed most of St. John's:
 * On first entering the bays and ports of Newfoundland, the attention of a stranger is mostly attracted by the remarkable appearance exhibited by the innumerable stages erected along the sea-shore for the salting and drying of cod. The shores around the harbour of St. John's are entirely covered with them, and their construction is particularly simple. Numerous supporters, exactly resembling "Kentish" hop-poles, are first fixed in the ground: over these is placed a horizontal platform of similar poles; and the whole is finally overspread with a covering of dry fern. This sort of structure is called, by the fishermen, a Fish Flake: but there are other stages, erected in a similar manner, although standing partly in the water, with a hut at their extremity, for the reception and salting of cod, previous to its final removal to the "Flakes", for the purpose of being dried in the sun.

Flakes were used well into the twentieth century, but the demand for dried fish lessened as cold storage and freezer units came into use. However, in the mid 1980s flakes were still being used in smaller outport communities to dry fish for family use and local sale of dried salt-cod.

Fish drying process
Prior to the widespread use of freezer technology, the Newfoundland fishery was dependent on salt as a preservative and curing agent. This process was necessitated because it was unfeasible for vessels to take their catch back to Europe on every trip to the fishing grounds on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland.

Certainly to obtain the best price for the fish caught during the fishing season the quality of the fish was of prime importance and care was taken to ensure a profitable catch. When the fish was taken from the saltbulk it was then washed of excess salt and film that had formed during the curing process. The salted cod was then transported to the fish flakes by two men carrying a barrow. The fish was then spread out in a very neat and tidy order by placing them alternately heads and tails. These were first laid face-up, which is flesh side exposed to the sun. As the fish dried it was then flipped over to dry the back side of the salted cod. Before nightfall when the air became damp the fish was gathered up and placed in neat piles called faggots to minimize the exposed area of the fish. As the fish became dry enough for marketability, it was then stored in the fish store until most if not all of the season's harvest was dried in this fashion. The drying of fish may have taken up to a week to completely dry. The whole process of drying the complete season catch may have taken a month or two as space and manpower permitted.

It was hosted by Rick Adams for the first series until he was replaced by Jez Edwards for the next two series. A puppet cuckoo called Vera was voiced by Steve Nallon. The gimmick of the show was that most things had to be performed backwards.

The show started with the presenter saying "goodbye", and then starting the games at Round 5. One of the rounds involved a series of actions that had to be performed in a certain order so that when it was played back in reverse, it matched what they were asked to do. Another round was a kitchen set up on a slope, but appeared to the viewers as a normal room.

At the end of the programme, the winning team (who had the fewest points) won a prize, such as a trip to Alton Towers. The losing team (with the most points) would win a backward invention, for example, a black lightbulb.

Townsville Primary School and Townsville_Primary_School/Temp
Primary schools are not notable. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Delete. Proto t c 10:22, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The article is a known copyright violation and so there is a rewrite in progress on Townsville_Primary_School/Temp. The original article will be deleted as a copyright violation, so please address mainly the merits of the rewrite. --Tony Sidaway Talk  22:42, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

*Delete - Individual schools at any level may be notable. But, there's nothing claimed, that would make this school notable. --rob 11:07, 31 August 2005 (UTC) *comment: it's real and it's a copyvio of http://www.townsvillepri.moe.edu.sg/history.htm. While I think we should carry forward with the deletion (since the sole conent is a small copy/paste), I would actually support a future article on the school, if done properly, given the fact this elementary school is bigger than a lot of high schools (including my own). But, I don't beleive in keeping stubs in the name of "hope". So, carry on with the delete. --rob 13:16, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - "Townsville"?? This has to be a joke.
 * Note "Townsville" is the fictional city where the Powerpuff Girls live. Despite the silliness, though, there are several real-world locations with the same name. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  11:50, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Further note - Townsville is also a major city in Australia. Yes a town that's a ville is a city. That's Australia for you ;) Grutness...  wha?  01:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable school. FYI, it really exists somewhere in the central part of Singapore. *drew 11:58, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep it needs work, granted but the life of every shild and young person is shaped more by their school than anything else. If the individual schools who make children into the adults they will one day become aren't notable than this entire project, this so called "sum of all human knowledge" (User:Jimbo Wales), is moot. HoratioVitero 15:26, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I have rewritten the copyright violation and added the rewrite to this VfD. --Tony Sidaway Talk 18:28, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * My vote still stands.Gateman1997 18:41, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep rewritten version and expand. The school passes notability tests because it was officially opened by the Singapore Minister of State for Defence, Trade and Industry, Lee Hsien Loong, and was the subject of an official visit by Queen Elizabeth II. --Tony Sidaway Talk  18:28, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The Queen appears at about 100 events per year. Other members of the Royal Family attend functions at about the same rate. Can we attempt to establish notability, not notability by proxy? Pilatus 19:13, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Notability is established precisely by proxy. The claim of notability is that it was opened by a senior minister of the Singapore government and visited by the head of state of the United Kingdom.  Other schools are said to be notable because some of their students went on to become famous (a movie star, a Senator, a major writer, and so on).  It's all by proxy.  Even John Wilkes Booth only has an article because the chap he aimed his gun at was a President and not a toilet cleaner. Booth has absolutely no other claim to notability. --Tony Sidaway Talk  23:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The Queen's building of Cardiff University on the Cathays Park site were opened by the Queen and consequently deserve an article because of that? The Queen opens dozens of buildings each year! I can't see why you are mentioning John Wilkes Booth either. Are you implying that anyone became a Head of State precisely because he attended Townsville primary school? The autism program the school is involved in is more notable, however, I feel that that program deserves an entry, not a school which is involved in it. It's the equivalent of having a List of roads in Washington, DC and no entry on the White House. Pilatus 14:17, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This article doesn't even attempt to justify its existence here. Burn it with fire! Pilatus 19:09, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete notability not established. Hamster Sandwich 21:16, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. nn school. Dottore So 23:27, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It was just a stub. Now I've added the involvement of the school in the Pathlight project on Autism, one of only three schools planned to have colocation with Autistic facilities for the purposes of integration, the 2001 MOE Excel (innovation) awards held by the Singapore government at the school. Not to mention a government efficiency award received by a head of department at the school.  This school clearly plays a notable part in the public life of the Republic of Singapore.  Suggestions of non-notability are beginning to look as if maybe they're aimed from the wrong end of a telescope situated in America or Europe. --Tony Sidaway Talk  23:58, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete primary schools are less interesting than secondaries. There is no notability conferred by a single Royal visit — the notability by proxy comment is a good one and applies to all the claims in the article. Thus this is a buiding with students in. So is my house. -Splash 23:59, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, as it seems to have attracted no small amount of attention. Article needs cleaning a little, though. -Splash 05:09, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * And now added to Townsville Primary School/Temp a speech made by Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister, and a widely referenced web page tutorial on simple machines produced by students at the school. Queens, senior government ministers, deputy prime ministers, major educational initiatives, national mainstream newspaper coverage, how much notice must be taken of a school before people saying it is not notable realise that, well, there are a lot of people out in the real world, some of them senior politicians, who happen to disagree? --Tony Sidaway Talk  02:01, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'm persuaded. Since I imagine this is still a touchy article, I'll not do this myself but: the stuff about which year they started teaching science in, and what the head of science gushed about it really needs excising! -Splash 05:09, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Take it out if you like, but I think it belongs because it's apparently a big deal in Singapore, and made The Straits Times, which has a circulation greater than most British broadsheet newspapers. --Tony Sidaway Talk 15:27, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. - brenneman (t) (c)  00:40, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the version at Townsville_Primary_School/Temp. Excellent rewrite.  —RaD Man (talk) 04:40, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - The new version, which is better than many high school articles. The school is bigger and more unique than many high schools.  --rob 04:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep the rewrite. Seems to be notable enough to Singaporeans. I don't think EIIR has visited every primary school there (or in the UK, for that matter). Uppland 15:38, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * My school got Jimmy Savile to open the school fete one year, but he got lost and turned up late. Does it still count? :) --Tony Sidaway Talk  17:08, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the rewrite. The rewritten article demonstrates more than enough notability.  (Unless every single delete voter can show that their primary school was opened by a cabinet level official, visited by a head of state, and covered by the major regional newspaper in their area.)

Obernai

Obernai (Alsatian: Owernah; Oberehnheim) commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France. It lies on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains.

Obernai is a rapidly growing city, its number of inhabitants having gone up from 6,304 in 1968 to 11,279 in 2017.

History
A neolithic necropole has been uncovered dating between 5,000 and 4,600 BC; 27 individuals were buried there in wooden coffins. This appears to be a continuation of groups from the Linear Pottery culture who were located also on the eastern side of the Rhine.

The Obernai region, which was the property of the dukes of Alsace in the 7th century, is the birthplace of St. Odile, daughter of the Duke, who would become the Patron Saint of Alsace.

The Obernai name first appears in 1240, when the village acquires the status of town under the tutelage of the Hohenstaufen family. The town then prospered. It became a member of the Décapole in 1354, an alliance of ten towns of the Holy Roman Empire in Alsace. Obernai's status reaches its apex in the 15th and 16th century. In 1562, Emperor Ferdinand I visited the prosperous town of Obernai.

The Thirty Years' War (1618–48) damaged the town, which was occupied by the Imperial troops, then by the Swedes. The town was ransomed and ceded to France in 1679, and started to recover some of its prosperity, without totally recapturing its former glory.

The town was annexed by Germany in 1871 with the rest of Alsace, then returned to France after World War I in 1918. During the German occupation in the Second World War, the Nazi authorities set up the Reichsschule für SS Helferinnen Oberenheim, a Waffen-SS women's training centre, which opened in May 1942 upon the order of Heinrich Himmler.

Economy
Obernai is an important center of wine and beer production, as well as a touristic destination. The industrial activity features the following companies: Hager, Kronenbourg, Triumph, Sobovia, Supra and Stoeffler. The historical wine of the city is called the Vin du Pistolet in reference to a local legend.

Education
During the mid-1800s, Obernai was home to a Marianist primary school.

Talk:Evilenko

Untitled
This I removed from main page (seems senseless):

He killed as many as 50 kids in years around the 1980s and his personality shows he is in love with the communist party, soon declining, and makes the old Soviet Union belonging to him eating her own children.

This film does in fact claim to be based on a true story.
I just rented this movie a few days ago, and the first sentence of the copy on the back cover explicitly states that the movie is based on the true story of the Soviet Union's most notorious serial killer, though the killer is not named.

 * I'd concur with this. The Australian DVD of this film states quite clearly on the cover that it is based on a true story. Peter1968 00:25, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Dough and Dynamite

Dough and Dynamite is a 1914 American comedy silent film made by Keystone Studios starring Charlie Chaplin.

Plot
The story involves Chaplin and Chester Conklin working as waiters at a restaurant. Charlie is especially inept and his comic carelessness enrages the customers. The workers in the restaurant's bakery go on strike for more pay, but are fired by the unsympathetic proprietor. Charlie is put to work in the bakery where his lack of skills upsets his boss and co-worker Chester Conklin. Meanwhile, the vengeful strikers have arranged to smuggle a loaf of bread concealing a stick of dynamite into the bakery. During a free-for-all involving Charlie, Chester, and their boss, the dynamite dramatically explodes. At the end of the film, Charlie emerges groggily from a pile of sticky dough.

Mack Sennett's recollections
In Mack Sennett's 1954 autobiography, King of Comedy, he recalled he was absent from Keystone Studios for most of the filming of Dough and Dynamite. Before Sennett left, he put Chaplin and Conklin jointly in charge of creating a new comedy with basically no guidelines. The two comedians began creating a film in which each man was a roominghouse boarder competing against one another in trying to woo the landlady, but they abandoned the idea after a short time. When they saw a "help wanted" sign outside a local bakery, the idea of a slapstick comedy set within a bakery came to both men almost simultaneously. Sennett claimed, however, that it was his idea to have a stick of dynamite concealed in a loaf of bread. Sennett declared Dough and Dynamite to be Chaplin's breakout film with Keystone.

Reviews
The New York Dramatic Mirror praised Chaplin's efforts in Dough and Dynamite, writing, "In a comparatively short time, Charles Chaplin has earned a reputation as a slapstick comedian second to none. His odd little tricks of manner and his refusal to do the most simple things in an ordinary way are essential features of his method, which thus far has defied successful imitation."

Moving Picture World commented, "Two reels of pure nonsense, some of which is very laughable indeed. Chas. Chaplin appears as a waiter in a French restaurant and bakery. He has a terrible time breaking dishes and getting the dough over the floor. The bakers go on strike and at the last the whole place is blown up by dynamite. This is well-pictured and very successful for this form of humor."

Rosheim

Rosheim (Rose) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

It lies 25 km southwest of Strasbourg, on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains. It is a winemaking town on the tourist "Road of the Wines of Alsace" and the Route Romane d'Alsace ("Romanesque route of Alsace").

History
Rosheim was first mentioned in a document in 778 as Rodasheim. In 1262 it received its town charter, combined with the right to build a town wall. From the 14th to 17th centuries, Rosheim was an Imperial City of the Holy Roman Empire, and founded the Décapole confederation with nine other Alsatian Imperial Cities in 1354, the goal was to maintain their rights. Like the other Decapolitan cities, it was awarded to France by the Peace of Westphalia and finally lost its independence under the Treaties of Nijmegen and was annexed by France.

Reginald A. Fessenden House

The Reginald A. Fessenden House is a historic house in the village of Chestnut Hill in Newton, Massachusetts. It was the residence from 1919 to his death in 1932 of the inventor Reginald A. Fessenden (1866–1932), called "the father of radio broadcasting," because he was the first to broadcast the human voice and music by radio. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 in recognition of Fessenden's accomplishments.

Description and history
The Fessenden House is an architecturally undistinguished three story brick building, with a stuccoed exterior and a tile roof. It has vernacular styling that includes a hooded entry, large central chimney, and a generally asymmetrical massing. The interior follows a fairly typical central hall plan. Both the exterior and interior of the house are relatively unaltered since Fessenden's ownership; the only notable alteration is the addition of awnings on some of the east-facing windows.

Reginald A. Fessenden was born in Quebec in 1866, and entered Bishop's University as a precocious young mathematical prodigy, but left in 1884 without graduating. In 1886, he took a position at the Edison Machine Works, working for inventor Thomas Edison. During an academic period teaching at Purdue University and at the University of Pittsburgh, Fessenden engaged in research on the nascent subject of wireless telegraphy. Much of the rest of his life he was employed in industry, either directly or as a consultant, but was often living near poverty, and produced a stream of inventions. In 1904 he invented the rotary spark-gap transmitter, and in 1906 he built a large transmitter in Massachusetts from which he successfully made a voice transmission. He also discovered the means to recombine separate frequencies to form a coherent audible sound. At his death he was described by inventor and businessman Elihu Thomson as "the greatest wireless inventor of the age, greater than Marconi."

Fessenden purchased the Newton house in 1919, and it was his home until his death in 1932. Although he spent most of later years in Bermuda, this house is the place with the longest-lasting association with his life in the United States. It is still a private home and is not open to the public.

The house was declared a National Historic Landmark on January 7, 1976, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in recognition that it is one of the few places with a long-term association with Fessenden.

Princess Anita of Orange-Nassau

Princess Anita of Orange-Nassau (Anita Theodora, née van Eijk; born 27 October 1969) is a member of the Dutch royal family. She is the wife of Prince Pieter-Christiaan of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven.

Early life
Anita van Eijk was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, the daughter of Leonardus Antonius van Eijk and J.C.M. van Eijk-Steens. She spent her early childhood in Aix-en-Provence, France, before the family headed back to the Netherlands where she undertook her primary school education. The family then moved to Singapore, where she studied at the United World College of South East Asia, before returning to the Netherlands, where she completed an International Baccalaureate at the Rijnlands Lyceum Oegstgeest.

She studied English and literature at Leiden University and afterwards communications at the University of Amsterdam, where she graduated in 1996. During her university years, Anita undertook an internship in London at the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency. Anita was employed in 1997 by the Amsterdam branch of Bloomberg, and was subsequently sent to London for a stint in Sales/Marketing and Television Production. She then worked in the marketing department of auction house Christie’s.

Marriage and children
Van Eijk met Prince Pieter-Christiaan of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven in London and the couple announced their engagement on 25 February 2005. Prince Pieter-Christiaan is the third son of Princess Margriet of the Netherlands and Pieter van Vollenhoven.

They married in a civil ceremony on 25 August 2005 at the Het Loo Palace, Apeldoorn, which was followed by a religious ceremony on 27 August 2005 at the Grote of St. Jeroenskerk, currently known as Oude Jeroenskerk, in Noordwijk. Since Prince Pieter-Christiaan did not seek parliamentary approval for his marriage, owing to the remote chance of his succession to the throne, he lost his place in line to the Dutch throne upon his marriage.

On 9 June 2006, Pieter-Christiaan and his wife announced that they were expecting their first child. Anita gave birth to a daughter, Emma Francisca Catharina van Vollenhoven, on 28 November 2006. The baby was born at 6:00 pm at the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis in Amsterdam. Anita gave birth to their second child, Pieter Anton Maurits Erik, on 19 November 2008.

The family lives in Noordwijk.

Annika Östberg

Annika Maria Östberg Deasy (born January 6, 1954) is a Swedish citizen formerly incarcerated in California for an undetermined period (25 years to life sentence). She was convicted of first-degree murder of a restaurant owner and a police officer in 1981. In April 2009, after 27 years in a California prison, Östberg was handed over to Swedish authorities and transferred to Sweden, and incarcerated in the Hinseberg women's prison north of Örebro. She was released in May 2011.

Childhood and marriage
Annika Östberg grew up in Hässelby in Stockholm, and moved with her mother to California in the 1960s. She ran away from home to San Francisco, where she became a drug addict. She married Brian Deasy and gave up drugs, but when the marriage failed she resumed her drug habit.

Prior criminal record
Östberg was convicted of theft in 1973 and received 18 months probation. Also in 1973, she was convicted of possession of a controlled substance and received three years probation. In 1976 she was convicted of providing liquor to a minor and received 12 months probation, one day in jail, and was ordered to pay a $65 fine.

In 1972, a man was stabbed to death in Östberg's apartment in San Francisco. Östberg admitted perpetrating the crime and received a 5-year suspended sentence for voluntary manslaughter. She later claimed that she only confessed to help her then-boyfriend.

The murders
On April 30, 1981, Östberg and her boyfriend Bob Cox robbed and killed ex-restaurant owner Joe Torre. Östberg sold stolen meat to restaurants and had made an appointment in a warehouse with Torre. While she pretended to bring the meat out of the truck, Bob Cox shot him. They robbed Torre and drove away. When their vehicle broke down on the highway the next day, Sgt Helbush stopped to render aid. According to Lake County district attorney Lester Fleming, evidence exists that Östberg may have shot Sgt Helbush as he walked back to his patrol car. Östberg stated that while she pretended to search for her driver's licence, Cox shot Helbush in the back of the head. Östberg told Cox to get rid of the body. They stole the policeman's wallet and the police car.

A patrol soon found Helbush's body when he failed to report back. Policeman Don Anderson discovered his colleague's stolen police car on a road in the Cobb Mountain area. After a short pursuit, Cox crashed the stolen car on a sharp curve near intersection 175 at Dry Creek Road 38.75918°N, -122.6417°W. During a shootout during which Östberg helped Cox to reload, Cox was wounded by several shots from the police and surrendered. Östberg tried to reach a gun before a police officer arrested her. Östberg explained the crimes in detail at her hearings and blamed her drug abuse. However, drug tests showed that she was not using narcotics at the time.

Sentence
In 1983, Annika Östberg received a sentence of 25 years to life for the 1981 murders. At that time it was customary for well-behaved prisoners to be set free after serving approximately half of their sentence. Documents from that period indicate that Östberg's lawyers believed she could be out after 12 ½ years. Previously, life prisoners served their sentences according to the law and their behavior in prison. However, this was not the case after 2000. Politics changed throughout the years, and as the sentencing laws changed, so did the mindset of the Board of Prison Terms and the Governor's office in Sacramento.

Parole hearings
Östberg was denied parole and was refused transfer to Sweden in 1997, 2002, 2005, and 2008.

Campaigns
Relatives of the victims, the police, and other Americans pushed for Östberg to remain in jail. They received support from California's Governor, who declared that she is a vicious killer. The Board of Prison Terms determined that Östberg was not ready for parole because she had acted in a cold-blooded manner and the motive was trivial. The Parole Board was critical of the Swedish media, who presented a one-sided view of Östberg. Many in USA want someone to get death penalty or at least full lifetime for the murders.

Campaigns in Sweden urged for her sentence to be time-determined and that she be allowed to serve the remaining imprisonment in her home country. Claims were made that her sentence was inhumane, as Östberg was not the one who personally shot the restaurant owner and policeman, and that Östberg had served enough time for her involvement in the murders. In opposition to these claims, others note that Östberg plead guilty, that her sentence was fair and correct under California law, that her connection to Sweden is extremely limited, and that she has been treated no differently than any other inmate convicted of similar crimes.

Swedish reactions
The Annika Östberg case upset many Swedes, since it is claimed that she was not armed and did not commit any murder. The Swedish media claimed that she was only present on the scene, and did not do anything, and was held as a scapegoat for her boyfriend, who committed suicide before his trial. It was written that she would not get any penalty at all if it was in Sweden. Relatives had contacted the media, and this version was initially used as they had trouble getting information from California. Later the Swedish media admitted to her having a higher degree of involvement in the episode. She implied that she committed the killings in statements to the police. She confessed to avoid death penalty, which would have been hard to avoid if she actually shot the victims.

Some believe that if she was convicted in Sweden she would get 6–7 years imprisonment. In another case in Sweden, the 1988 Åmsele murders, the girlfriend was sentenced to two years for doing nothing to prevent Juha Valjakkala from committing a triple murder. That girl did not reload a gun or similar, but just watched the murders silently. In that case the boyfriend was sentenced to lifetime in prison. Under California law she is just as culpable as her boyfriend because she was an active participant. Her lawyers negotiated a plea bargain that spared her from a death sentence.

There has been criticism against the Swedish media, also in Sweden, who has decided to protect a Swedish woman, who has got a harsh treatment by foreign authorities. The criticism says that the media has avoided describing what she did during the events. Swedish media could not avoid writing in a way giving readers in Sweden. The well known police academy professor Leif GW Persson said: "She is a very heavy criminal. Media has touched that very gently. I assume that is because they want her to be released, then it is hard to do a correct description of the case.".

Transfer to Sweden and release
The question of being transferred to a Swedish prison is outside the scope of a parole hearing. California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger refused in an interview in August 2005 with Swedish television to let her be transferred to Sweden to serve the remaining period in her native country. In April 2009, she was finally transferred after years of silent diplomatic activity. It is believed that the financial crisis in the United States and the fact that prisoners are a burden on the economy was one reason for the transfer. Östberg became one of the first prisoners to be transferred under the new rules.

On November 16, 2009, a Swedish court decided that her life sentence should be time-limited so that she can be released in May 2011, more than 30 years after her arrest. On August 8, 2010, Östberg hosted the program Sommar on Sveriges Radio. She was released on May 2, 2011, after having been locked up for 30 years, since May 1, 1981, a longer prison time than almost any Swedish citizen.

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 Fabio. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Fabio~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 23:49, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
