Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/I-80 Eastshore Fwy

I-80 Eastshore Fwy

It's so hard to get a good freeway image that shows the congestion and yet is well composed, too. I found this in San Francisco Bay Area and it struck me immediately as not only clearly representing the traffic situation on I-80 at this location but also as being an excellent photo. It is also used in Freeway, which it also adds to, showing the urban background as well. The cars are in focus and there's just a hint of the smog that they're contributing to. Taken by User:Minesweeper, GFDL.

 * Nominate and support. - Elf | Talk 19:16, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well-composed and striking as you say, but there are a few lens / scanner faults in the sky and a pair of heavy dark specks over the water that could do with being removed before voting starts. ~ Veledan • Talk + new 20:42, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - comment: those dark spots are pilings in the bay mud - one of which for a long time held aloft a large model of the Red Baron's aircraft. The "fault" in the sky looks like an antenna to me. Leonard G. 02:15, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Cheers for explaining the pilings, and apologies to Minesweepeer for thinking they were an error. I didn't mean the antenna! The sky smudges might be birds. I never doubted it's a great pic though ~ Veledan • Talk + new 22:34, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Won't find too many photos like this, but this is a good one. Raven4x4x 05:02, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. I used to drive down there every day, it's a good pic. Note the locals 'short cut' on the right. The roads seem very crowded, especially for a Saturday.  Was there some special event on that day? Possibly the kite festival?  David D. (Talk) 18:09, 4 September 2005 (UTC) (forgot to sign earlier)
 * Support. James F. (talk) 13:00, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. And I thought traffic in Sydney was bad... Enochlau 13:22, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. From an artistic point of view, it might look better with some of the area on the left removed, but as an illustration of the subject, it is superb. --Surgeonsmate 22:23, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Question. As a purely legal reason, could we get a version that slightly blurs the plate numbers? I think the only problem ones are the couple on the right. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 16:00, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Is that necessary? They look blurry enough: even on the biggest version they are very hard to read. Anyway, I didn't know this was required for any picture. Raven4x4x 23:57, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not sure it is totally necessary, but the plate number on the white truck is easily readable. I don't know the California laws about making information public or anything, but as I recall, I thought you had to blur the numbers unless you got permission from the owner. That's why you see them blurred on TV news reports, reality shows, etc. Perhaps I am wrong. I just thought I might mention it. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 17:33, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * If you notice, they only blur out plates when the name of the subject who owns the car is also given when this is done on TV. It doesn't make much sense to make it illegal to show license plates numbers when you can go outside and record as many as you'd like, eh? Semiconscious  ( talk  · home) 07:24, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Support -- Chris 73 Talk 07:48, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support—This picture does it's job. Not to be a traffic snob, but I live about a mile from where this photo was taken and the traffic around here is nothing compared to the traffic on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles. Forty-five minutes to go 6 miles, each and every day, twice a day, for two years... ugh... Semiconscious  ( talk  · home) 07:24, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. A kind of collective madness seems to have descended on you. Whilst this picture is clear and will, I'm sure, illustrate something useful on related articles it is only as interesting as a picture of traffic conditions can be. Which is not very. I would ask voters to consider this picture in the context of all the natural and man-made wonders of the world and the universe beyond and then look back at their support for a picture of traffic conditions on a day with pleasant weather. A couple of the supporting votes seem to be because the picture says "yep! I know that feeling!" when identifying with the drivers. Well, sorry, I don't drive and there is nothing in this picture that makes me care about it and I'm sure most people with a lack of empathic links to the subject will be left equally disinterested. --bodnotbod 19:35, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. There's nothing special here. - Bevo 00:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Broken S 21:27, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Just telling myself off for uploading a picture without checking the copyright! Now flagged for deletion. It was Image:Brighton_sewers_thumbnail.jpeg --Smiker 09:36, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Image tags
Just curious to know what the importance is with all the images that are being changed from   to   . I've written a number of school articles, and I've seen you change a few of the logo tags. If I understood/knew about this, I could make certain any future school article logos are tagged appropriately. --Stephane Charette 13:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

my response: User_talk:S_charette

Image:AAIB-Logo.gif
You're right. The Crown Copyright template is not acceptable for this image. Images which use that template must come from a source which permits reproduction. However there are many UK government logos under the basic logo tag and I think this is acceptable here. Mark83 23:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

How is stating the fact that Jonathan King is a child sex offender vandalism? He is it's a fact! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.151.76.144 (talk).

 * My response: Unfortunately, it was the placement of the information that was at issue. The details are recorded on the page at Jonathan King along with a number of other details. The place for the 'facts' will be the article, not as additional text to the links. Smiker 18:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. Still think it's important that people who live in the area and have kid's should be aware of the risks. King has recently been banned from youtube and myspace trying to big up his celeb status. He's also used props such as stuffed toys and boasted about his fan mail from kid's. Surely still a potential risk. I'd want to know if I was living next door to him.

Fair use rationale for Image:CharterhouseCrest.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CharterhouseCrest.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Zedla (talk) 05:02, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

From Dispute_resolution:

Avoidance

The best way to resolve a dispute is to avoid it in the first place.

Be respectful to others and their points of view. This means primarily: Do not simply revert changes in a dispute. When someone makes an edit you consider biased or inaccurate, improve the edit, rather than reverting it. Provide a good edit summary when making significant changes that other users might object to. The Three Revert Rule forbids the use of reverts in repetitive succession. If you encounter rude or inappropriate behavior, resist the temptation to respond in kind, and do not make personal attacks.

Writing according to the "perfect article guidelines" and following the NPOV policy can help you write "defensively", and limit your own bias in your writing. For some guidelines, see Wikipedia:Wikiquette.

Jayjg: "Be respectful to others and their points of view. This means primarily: Do not simply revert changes in a dispute. When someone makes an edit you consider biased or inaccurate, improve the edit, rather than reverting it. Provide a good edit summary when making significant changes that other users might object to. The Three Revert Rule forbids the use of reverts in repetitive succession."

Jayjg: This is the version you are reverting to:

 * The First Jewish-Roman War (66–73 CE), against the Roman Empire is sometimes called The First Jewish-Roman War.
 * The Bar Kokhba's revolt (132-135 CE), also known as The Second Jewish-Roman War or The Second Jewish Revolt, was a second major rebellion by the Jews of Judea. Alternatively, some sources call it The Third Revolt, counting also the riots of 115-117, the Kitos War, suppressed by the senator Quintus Lucius Quietus who governed the province at the time.

Do you seriously consider this to be a useful wikipedia entry?

This is my recommendation for an improvement:

 * First Jewish-Roman War (66–73 CE)
 * Kitos War (115-117 CE)
 * Bar Kokhba's revolt (132-135 CE)

Rather than just revert without explanation, why don't you express what your issues are with my attempt to clean up this article? Keep in mind, this is a disambiguation article.

 * Your version removed useful information; disambiguation pages should not just be links, but should provide some context. Jayjg (talk) 23:07, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Useful information? Nonetheless, quoting from Disambiguation:
 * "A disambiguation page contains no article content, only links to other Wikipedia pages."

 * You're reading the page too narrowly. Disambiguation pages do, indeed, typically have context information on them. See, for example, Jesus (disambiguation) or Sara. Jayjg (talk)  06:37, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, but obviously it's not a requirement as you claimed above and the version you are reverting to has very little if any useful information. Do you really think it's important to point out to the average reader that: "The First Jewish-Roman War ... is sometimes called The First Jewish-Roman War" or that it was between the Jews and the Roman Empire or that Bar Kokhba's revolt is sometimes called the second or third war depending on if you count the Kitos War? In addition the information about "Quintus Lucius Quietus" is incorrect and there is no wikipedia link to him at this time, for more information see Kitos War.

 * Disambiguation pages are generally done that way, as an aid to the reader; blind links with no context are not helpful. I can provide many other examples of disambiguation pages that are done this way - e.g. Cat (disambiguation), New York (disambiguation), London (disambiguation), etc. What I cannot seem to find is a disambiguation page that contains only links.  If you think the page contains incorrect information, please correct it, but please stop removing all context, as this is starting to look like simple vandalism. Thanks. Jayjg (talk)  02:53, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * By the way, you know that Christianity template you just added to Sabbath? Well, it turns out that Sabbath (disambiguation) doesn't just give a list of bare links either.  Go figure. Jayjg (talk)  02:57, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

I've cleaned up some of the more wordy phrasing on the page. Some descriptions should certainly be kept in order to differentiate between the wars, which are, as mentioned, often cited by number; but there's no need to reiterate the participants of the wars under each one, since they all involve the Romans and the Jews. The bolding of text might need to be toned down also, since it is currently somewhat excessive. Kirill Lokshin 01:12, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Why the Samaritan revolt?
What has the Samaritan revolt to do with the topic of the article? The Samaritans and Jews were enemies since at least the Maccabee revolt, probably earlier. The Samaritans rebelled against oppressive Bysantine Christians (nominally East Romans, however), not against a pagan Roman Empire. That the Samaritans today are considered a Jewish sect is a modern invention, they're descendents of the Israelite Northern kingdom, not Judaea, mixed up with foreign peoples deported by the Assyrians. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 19:03, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

 * It's so blatantly off-topic, that I was compelled to remove them. If dislike, simply revert. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 19:10, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Fourth Samaritan revolt was lead in alliance with Jews. And of course Samaritans are not Jewish sect. I revert you back.Greyshark09 (talk) 21:38, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Half a million dead?
This number looks fantastic for a 2nd century war. The source is full of exagerations and seems to be politically motivated.

At this time, the Roman Empire as a whole had only 50 million people. The Holocaust was only possible with modern racialist justifications and industrial war methods. 78.29.170.229 (talk) 13:13, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

-I agree that the article isn't perfect, but the figures aren't that extreme. Caesar is thought to have killed hundreds of thousands (up to a million) in the Gallic Wars, the levelling of Carthage in the third punic war would have killed about 400,000, so it's a big figure for the period, but by no means unique. I'm not passing judgement on the sources themselves, but the casualty figures listed in the article aren't that far outside the norms for Roman warfare in the period.OneCatch (talk) 13:23, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * We are also speaking of the 1st-2nd centuries CE, when the Roman Empire population was quiet near its peak. Anyway we use here all available reliable sources, so there is a reasonable range from 250,000-1,100,000 in the great revolt, depending on historian's opinion and Josephus' primary source.Greyshark09 (talk) 16:17, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Lissak as a source
IrisZoom, you are the one who is trying to make changes from this long-stable page. If you want to remove a source, you are the one to convince for the necessity of its removal per WP:BRD.GreyShark (dibra) 12:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 * You are misunderstanding the method and should think of it before you accuse me of misuse. If someone, you misued it by starting an edit warring. However, this is not the important thing so lets move on.

 * The arguments you have used are that Lissak is "Dr. of History" and that her numbers are good as an "overview". She is a Dr. in American history. I have read her articles about the topic we are discussing here and she doesn't give any source or explanation about the numbers. We are talking about a self-published blog. --IRISZOOM (talk) 12:52, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * This is technical - can you give me a link that shows the published review is a blog?GreyShark (dibra) 13:01, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * You are correct - i can see this a blog (i thought it is a self-published article). I still do think her numbers make sense, but we can keep the numbers with requested source, while deleting the link to Lissak's blog. Agreed?GreyShark (dibra) 13:07, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 * It doesn't matter if its a blog or another type and doesn't meet the criteria. However, I think we leave it as it is now but inserting the template "", because the other numbers from Cassius Dio and Josephus seem grossly exaggerated. There must surely exist better estimates from other and reliable sources. Shall we do so? If yes, you can insert the template here and I will revert my edit in two other articles (List of massacres in ancient Israel and First Jewish–Roman War) and insert the template, where Lissak was used as a source, because of the same reason stated in the first sentence. --IRISZOOM (talk) 13:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem with "Better source". I however don't agree that Cassius Dio and Josephus should be defined as "exaggerating" - those are excellent primary sources and their credibility should only be brought with proper historian analysis and not our own. Some historians indeed doubt the seemingly high casualty numbers, but interestingly today the maximalist approach has become the mainstream (see ), giving Cassius and Josephus a great deal of authority and authenticity.GreyShark (dibra) 21:09, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I am not saying we should define them in a way in the article. In fact, they are very important. But I think the numbers seems exaggerated and I naturally welcome other estimates as long they meet the criteria. So if someone wants to add another estimates, as done now but with a bad source (Lissak), I welcome that. --IRISZOOM (talk) 13:29, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I have now inserted the template in the articles. Best regards. --IRISZOOM (talk) 13:46, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks.GreyShark (dibra) 19:58, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Jews lie. Plain and simple. 222.49.248.13 (talk) 14:07, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hilarious. Antisemitism - plain and simple.GreyShark (dibra) 18:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Nationalism?
Article mentions nationalism as one of the factors for the Jewish revolts. This is false as nationalism is a fairly modern concept which arose from the French Revolution onward. There was no such thing as nationalism before, people were generally loyal to a religion or to a particular leader rather than to their "nation" (which is a modern concept too). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.57.129 (talk) 18:34, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

 * What do you feel is the difference between Iudaeans and a nation? Not all Iudaeans were religiously observant or strictly loyal, but all shared a culture. They even remained segregated in other states and often remained loyal to their heritage. Certainly no race but yes, a nation. Bataaf van Oranje (talk) 01:01, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Nationalism is as much a new concept as fire. No kidding - there was Roman nationalism, Germanic nationalism, Bretonic nationalism and Judean nationalism in the classic era and wars were fought over it.GreyShark (dibra) 18:08, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Aftermath
While reading this article, I realized that there is information missing. The article clearly gives the history of the Jewish-Roman Wars; however, it barely discusses the aftermath. I will add how these three wars caused the transition from Temple to Synagogue, the increased authority of the Rabbis, and the development of Rabbinic Judaism. All of my information will be coming from a secondary source, From Text To Tradition, by Lawrence Schiffman. If someone wants to discuss my plans on changing this article, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page. Yiftach18 (talk) 20:50, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Sounds good - go on.GreyShark (dibra) 18:05, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Template talk:Docu-stub

Could we get a better quality image for this one? You really have to squint to see what it is. --Tydaj 19:19, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Along those lines, an image of a different documentary is worth considering. While F9/11 is certainly well-known, there's also a good bit of controversy as to whether it's actually a factual documentary. That said, I don't really have a better idea.... — Lomn | Talk / RfC 19:04:59, 2005-09-02 (UTC)

I'd rather have no picture at all than a poster of F9/11. Thinking... thinking... android 79  19:15, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

I agree. I've nothing against F9/11 (though, to be honest, I find Moore's films totally annoying, even though I tend to agree with the politics); but the pic isn't readable to begin with; and it's too loaded a choice of documentaries. Something like a Movietone News poster might be more fitting. That, or Triumph of the Will. (slight irony alert) --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 01:34, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, I'm changing it to a National Geographic documentary cover. No controversy whatsoever about it and more wellknown than Farenheit 9/11 gren グレン 20:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Usage of a fair use image in this context, according to Template:DVDcover, is possibly copyright infringement when not used strictly to illustrate the topic of the image. While I understand good-faith usage of the DVD cover here, for legal reasons it may be best not to. (It may be difficult, if not downright impossible, to find a DVD cover legally usable here, so having no image on the template may have to suffice.) --Wikiacc (talk) 21:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I've changed it to a poster for the 1922 Nanook of the North, which should be PD. As a bonus, this is considered the first feature-length documentary and what it symbolizes in terms of representing reality is a problem of all documentaries.--Pharos 20:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Excellent, I just thought it was a bad idea to have a controversial film as the basis for all docu-stubs -- like having porn for film stubs? I didn't really think about the legal implications (which is bad) so I think everything has worked out well.  Thanks for cleaning up after me :) --gren グレン 21:05, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Stanisław Karnkowski

Stanisław Karnkowski of Junosza (1520–1603) was the Great Referendary of the Polish Crown (since 1558), the Great Secretary of Poland (since 1563), bishop of Włocławek (1567-1580) as well as archbishop of Gniezno and Primate of Poland (since 1581). He served during the Interrex in 1586–1587, before the coronation of Sigismund III Vasa.

Karnkowski chaired the Sejm commission which prepared the so-called "Karnkowski's Statutes" approved by the Parliament in 1570. He was the only bishop on the election sejm to vote for Stefan Batory, who was suspected of being a secret Protestant. He opposed attempts of reforming the way of the election made by Jan Zamoyski and proposals of raising up taxes for the army.

Stanisław Karnkowski invited Jesuits to Kalisz and Poznań and founded the buildings that had to serve as centres of the struggle against Protestants in Greater Poland. Due to these activities, he was strongly supported by the king Sigismund III Vasa, the Jesuit complex was erected (1586–1597).

Stanisław Karnkowski is one of the personas on the famous painting by Jan Matejko: the sermons of Piotr Skarga.

Ta Mara and the Seen

Ta Mara and the Seen was an American R&B group based in Minneapolis. They were signed by A&M Records to capitalize on the mid-1980s chart success of the "Minneapolis sound", which included acts such as Prince, Vanity 6, Sheila E., and the Time.

Career
They achieved top 40 success with the single "Everybody Dance", which peaked at No. 24 on Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1986. Other tracks from their self-titled debut album include the single "Affection", "Summertime Love", and a ballad titled "Long Cold Nights". The album was produced by former Time guitarist Jesse Johnson. The group was managed by Owen Husney. A 1988 follow-up album, Blueberry Gossip, failed to catch on and the group disbanded in 1989. Their albums are no longer in print.

Lead singer Margaret Cox (a.k.a. Margie Cox), given the stage name Pegi Ta Mara by producer Johnson, was born in Kenitra, Morocco and lived there until age seven, when she and her family moved to Minneapolis. Other members of the group included bassist Keith Woodson, guitarist Oliver Leiber (son of the songwriter Jerry Leiber), keyboardist Gina Fellicetta, and drummer Jamie Chez.

Barry Hines

Melvin Barry Hines, FRSL (30 June 1939 – 18 March 2016) was an English author, playwright and screenwriter. His novels and screenplays explore the political and economic struggles of working-class Northern England, particularly in his native West Riding/South Yorkshire.

He is best known for the novel A Kestrel for a Knave (1968), which he helped adapt for Ken Loach's film Kes (1969). He collaborated with Loach on adaptations of his novels Looks and Smiles and The Gamekeeper, and the 1977 two-part television drama The Price of Coal.

He also wrote the television film Threads, which depicts the impact of a nuclear war on Sheffield.

Early life
Hines was born in the mining village of Hoyland Common near Barnsley, West Riding of Yorkshire. He attended Ecclesfield Grammar School after passing the eleven-plus in 1950 and played football for the England Grammar Schools team. After leaving school with five O levels he took a job with the National Coal Board as an apprentice mining surveyor at Rockingham Colliery. A neighbour he chanced to meet at the coal face disapproved of his failure to meet his potential; Hines later said that was when he decided to return to school to take four A-levels.

After his A levels, he studied for a teaching qualification at Loughborough College. For his dissertation, Hines wrote a piece of creative fiction entitled "Flight of the Hawk", which later inspired his debut novel The Blinder. He worked as a Physical Education teacher for several years, initially for two years in a London comprehensive school and subsequently at Longcar Central School in Barnsley, where he wrote novels in the school library after the children had gone home. He later became a full-time writer.

Hines was a keen amateur footballer who played for Barnsley's reserves and was invited to a trial at Manchester United. He later played for Loughborough College, Crawley Town and Stocksbridge Works. He also represented England Schoolboys.

Early work and A Kestrel for a Knave (1965–70)
Hines' first published work was the play Billy's Last Stand, written while he worked as a PE teacher alongside his debut novel, The Blinder. A duologue between an impoverished coal miner and his manipulative business partner, it first appeared on BBC Radio Third Programme in 1965, with Arthur Lowe and Ronald Baddiley.

The broadcast of Billy's Last Stand found Hines a publisher for The Blinder, which was published in 1966. It follows a gifted teenage footballer torn between his sporting career and his academic aspirations. The novel was partly based on Hines' own experiences playing youth football, as he had played for Barnsley FC's youth team and was offered trials at Manchester United.

The Blinder caught the attention of film and television producer Tony Garnett. He approached Hines about the possibility of writing a Wednesday Play for the BBC, but Hines told him he had "got this book going round my head and I need to write it". He received a bursary from the BBC to take a sabbatical from his teaching work to write the novel on a retreat on the island of Elba. Garnett and Ken Loach, who had worked together on the Wednesday Plays Up the Junction and Cathy Come Home, read the manuscript to the unpublished novel and purchased the rights for their new production company Kestrel Films in July 1967.

A Kestrel for a Knave was published in 1968. It tells the story of Billy Casper who was a troubled and neglected schoolboy living in a mining village who finds comfort in tending a kestrel that he names 'Kes'. Hines was inspired by the experiences of his brother Richard, who tamed a hawk of the same name in his youth. He co-wrote the script for the film version Kes (1969) with Loach and Garnett. Disney later offered to buy the rights on the condition that the downbeat ending, in which Billy's brother Jud kills the kestrel, be changed; Hines refused. The film was shot on location around Hines' native Barnsley and Hoyland Common. Released in November 1969, it became a critical and commercial success and has subsequently become regarded as one of the greatest British films ever made.

Further collaborations with Loach (1971–81)
Hines continued writing novels, plays and television scripts throughout the 1970s, with much of his output centring on the tensions of labour and industry that characterised British society at the time. He adapted Billy's Last Stand for the theatre in 1971, with the titular character played by Ian McKellen, and published First Signs, a novel following a young expatriate in Italy returning to his northern hometown, in 1972. He contributed two scripts for the BBC's Play for Today strand; Speech Day in 1973 and Two Men from Derby in 1976.

In 1975, Hines wrote The Gamekeeper, a novel about a former steelworker who becomes a gamekeeper on a ducal estate, which he adapted to film with Loach in 1980. Further collaborations with Loach in this period included the 1977 two-part television drama, The Price of Coal. The first part, "Meet the People", follows a royal visit to a colliery while the second part, "Back to Reality", follows an accident that claims the lives of several pit workers.

The fourth and final collaboration with Loach was Looks and Smiles, published as a novel in 1980 and adapted as film in 1981. Following the daily life of an unemployed 17-year-old in Sheffield, it began as a screenplay about teenage relationships, before the issue of unemployment became central to the narrative. It competed at the Cannes Film Festival, winning the Young Cinema Award. In these projects, Hines' involvement in the filmmaking process exceeded the typical expectations of a screenwriter; he was involved in casting decisions alongside Loach, attended shoots and participated in the editing process.

Threads and late career (1984–2009)
In 1984, Hines wrote the script for the BAFTA award-winning TV film Threads (1984), a speculative television drama examining the effects of nuclear war on Sheffield. The BBC had commissioned the drama and hired Mick Jackson to direct after he produced the Q.E.D. documentary A Guide to Armageddon in 1982. Jackson hired Hines to write the screenplay because he wanted a social realist tone. Hines focused the narrative on a young couple in Sheffield dealing with an unexpected pregnancy as the threat of nuclear exchange escalates. Although Sheffield was chosen due to its proximity to RAF bases and geographical centrality, it also continued Hines' tradition of setting his work in and around South Yorkshire.

In contrast to the harmonious collaboration with Loach, Hines had a strained relationship with Jackson; according to his wife Eleanor, he disliked Jackson due to his class background while Jackson was frustrated by the amount of time Hines spent on set. However, the film was a critical success, winning a BAFTA award for Best Television Drama. Hines received a personal letter of praise from Labour leader Neil Kinnock, and Jackson claims that the film was viewed by Ronald Reagan when it was broadcast on American television the following year.

After Threads, Hines' output became more sporadic. In the early 1990s, he wrote two television plays about football; Shooting Stars, about three friends who hold a local star striker to ransom, was broadcast on Channel 4 in 1990, and Born Kicking, about the first professional female footballer, was broadcast on BBC1 in 1992. His penultimate novel, The Heart of It, was published in 1994 and returned to the subject of coal mining, depicting a Hollywood screenwriter returning home to visit his father, a communist former miner and veteran of the 1984-85 miner's strike. In 2003, Loach was in contact with Hines about adapting the novel for film, but Hines refused because he felt "the ideas had gone stale".

His final novel was Elvis Over England, published in 2000 to mixed reviews; it follows a road trip undertaken by an unemployed Elvis fanatic who undertakes a road trip to Prestwick, Scotland, the only place Elvis ever set foot in the U.K.

In 2009, after Hines' diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease prevented him from further writing, Pomona Books published This Artistic Life, an anthology of previously unpublished short stories mostly written around the time of A Kestrel for a Knave.

Style and themes
According to Dave Gibson, Hines' work is "characterised by his ear for dialogue, his sympathetic use of Barnsley dialect and his identification with working-class struggles". His writing has been described as social realist. Imogen Carter notes that A Kestrel for a Knave features "dazzling natural imagery, reminiscent of Seamus Heaney's 1966 poetry collection, Death of a Naturalist."

Hines's work frequently addressed contemporary British social issues, such as education in A Kestrel for a Knave, unemployment in Looks and Smiles, and working conditions and industrial action in the mining industry in The Price of Coal and The Heart of It. Football appears extensively in his writing; Hines recalled that being told he "knew what the game was all about" by a professional footballer was one of the best critiques he had received.

Recognition
Hines' work has received significant recognition. Kes won a number of awards, including a Writers' Guild of Great Britain Award for Best British Screenplay and a BAFTA nomination for Best Screenplay.

Threads (1984) won a special award at the 1985 Monte-Carlo Television Festival, the Broadcasting Press Guild Award in 1985 for Best Single Drama, and was nominated for seven different awards in the 1985 BAFTA Awards, winning the Best Single Drama award.

Hines claimed he took no pleasure in receiving awards; his main concern was the approval of working-class readers and the confirmation that they had been represented accurately. Some of his readers claimed that A Kestrel for a Knave was the only book they had ever read. Ian McMillan wrote that "here in the former South Yorkshire coalfield A Kestrel for a Knave is our Moby-Dick, our Things Fall Apart, our Great Gatsby."

Hines was awarded an honorary degree at the University of Loughborough in July 2009 and an Honorary Doctorate (Doctor of Letters) at the University of Sheffield on 14 January 2010. In 2008, his personal archive was donated to the university, where it is now part of the Library Special Collections.

Upon his death, he received tributes from literary and political figures. Tony Parsons described him as "inspirational" and Barnsley Central MP Dan Jarvis described him as "a brilliant writer". Ken Loach wrote "he loved language and his ear for dialect and its comedy was pitch perfect."

Personal life
Hines married twice, and is survived by two children from his first marriage.

After spending much of his later life in Sheffield, he returned to a care home in his home village of Hoyland Common after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. He died on 18 March 2016 at the age of 76.

Thanks Outlander for your interest. I thought I had used the Wikipedia style. Could you suggest how it should be changed to conform? The source is my webpage - as described at the foot of the article.

I believe the article is written from a personal approach. Perhaps it would be better in a more fact based form, stating dates and details about particular games. 66.185.139.162 11:32, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Hermann Obrist

Hermann Obrist (23 May 1862 at Kilchberg (near Zürich), Switzerland – 26 February 1927, Munich, Germany) was a Swiss sculptor of the Jugendstil and Art Nouveau movement. He studied Botany and History in his youth; the influence of those subjects is detected in his later work in the field of applied arts. As a teacher, Hermann Obrist exerted a seminal influence on the rise and subsequent development of Jugendstil in Germany.

Biography
Hermann Obrist was the son of Doctor Carl Kaspar Obrist, of Zurich, and Alice Jane Grant Duff, sister of the British politician and statesman Mountstuart Grant Duff. He studied natural sciences and medicine in Heidelberg, and made several trips during which he had visions that determined his artistic vocation. After deciding in 1887 to follow this path, he enrolled at the School of Applied Arts in Karlsruhe to study art techniques.

He received an award for his ceramics and furniture at the Paris Exposition of 1889. In 1890, he entered the sculpture class at the Académie Julian in Paris. The following year, he moved to Berlin where he earned his living mainly as a journalist for the cultural pages. In 1892, the sale of a fountain model gave him the means to move to Florence where he opened with Berthe Ruchet, an embroidery workshop, which he moved to Munich in 1895. Its ornamental embroideries and sculptures experienced growing success in Germany.

In 1902 Obrist and Wilhelm von Debschitz co-founded a design school in Munich, Debschitz School (1902–1914). Students of his included Ludwig Hirschfeld Mack, who also studied at the Bauhaus. He then engaged in an intense activity as author and speaker and spoke of relations with other artists such as Wassily Kandinsky. Obrist left the Debschitz School in 1904.

Obrist commissioned his friend August Endell to design his studio in Munich, built in 1897 and destroyed in 1944, during World War II. Obrist's works included fountains and funerary monuments. He often used concrete for his works.

In addition to being a sculptor he was also a textile artist. Obrist's most famous and influential work was the design for an 1892 embroidered wall hanging called "Cyclamen". It featured a series of elegant, looping curves of cyclamen flowers, described as whiplash curves, or Peitschenhieb in German, and became a seminal work of the Art Nouveau movement.

Data Quality Act

The Information Quality Act (IQA) or Data Quality Act (DQA), passed through the United States Congress in Section 515 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2001. Because the Act was a two-sentence rider in a spending bill, it had no name given in the actual legislation. The Government Accountability Office uses the name "Information Quality Act".

IQA directs the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue government-wide guidelines that "provide policy and procedural guidance to federal agencies for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information (including statistical information) disseminated by Federal agencies". Other federal agencies are also required to publish their own guidelines for information quality and peer review agendas.

Text of the IQA
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2001 Sec. 515 reads:

(a) In General. – The Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall, by not later than September 30, 2001, and with public and Federal agency involvement, issue guidelines under sections 3504(d)(1) and 3516 of title 44, United States Code, that provide policy and procedural guidance to Federal agencies for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information (including statistical information) disseminated by Federal agencies in fulfillment of the purposes and provisions of chapter 35 of title 44, United States Code, commonly referred to as the Paperwork Reduction Act.

(b) Content of Guidelines. – The guidelines under subsection (a) shall –

 * (1) apply to the sharing by Federal agencies of, and access to, information disseminated by Federal agencies; and
 * (2) require that each Federal agency to which the guidelines apply –
 * (A) issue guidelines ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information (including statistical information) disseminated by the agency, by not later than 1 year after the date of issuance of the guidelines under subsection (a);
 * (B) establish administrative mechanisms allowing affected persons to seek and obtain correction of information maintained and disseminated by the agency that does not comply with the guidelines issued under subsection (a); and
 * (C) report periodically to the Director –
 * (i) the number and nature of complaints received by the agency regarding the accuracy of information disseminated by the agency; and
 * (ii) how such complaints were handled by the agency.

OMB guidelines

 * OMB, Guidelines (Draft of Jan. 3, 2002)
 * OMB, Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the Quality, Objectivity, Utility, and Integrity of Information Disseminated by Federal Agencies, Final Guidelines (corrected), 67 Fed. Reg. 8452 (Feb. 22. 2002)

Guidelines developed by agencies pursuant to IQA and OMB guidelines

 * Federal Trade Commission FTC Information Quality Guidelines

 * NASA Requirements for Documentation, Approval, and Dissemination of NASA Scientific and Technical Information
 * Patent and Trademark Office Information Quality Guidelines
 * List of links to all Cabinet, Executive Agency, and Independent Regulatory Agency guidelines

Criticism
The Data Quality Act has been criticized as providing a vehicle for special interest groups to challenge regulations on the grounds of not meeting information quality requirements. However, others view unchecked data and lack of peer-review as a tool of political corruption leading to the imposition of arbitrary and capricious regulations. The "driving force behind the IQA", Jim Tozzi, said "there’s no doubt that we were funded by industry" and they wanted the IQA to be used as a tool to challenge government information. However, it does not confer any right to judicial review if people have sought to change information and been unsuccessful in convincing the agency (see below).

Information Quality Act failing as a basis for law suits
The Competitive Enterprise Institute filed a lawsuit to prevent dissemination of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s "Climate Action Report 2002" published May 2002, claiming the research did not meet requirements of the Federal Data Quality Act (FDQA), which came into effect in October 2002. The case was dismissed in November 2003.

In 2004, a multi-party dispute regarding the management of the Missouri River led to a case in which the District Court declared that "the IQA directs the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") to issue guidelines that provide policy and procedural guidance to Federal agencies for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information disseminated by the agency, the plain language of the legislation fails to define these terms. 44 U.S.C. § 3516. Moreover, the history of the legislation fails to provide any indication as to the scope of these terms. Absent any "meaningful standard" against which to evaluate the agency's discretion, the Court finds that Congress did not intend the IQA to provide a private cause of action, and therefore Blaske Marine Plaintiffs' IQA claim fails."

Four days after this judgement the Department of Justice reiterated that "The language of the IQA reflects Congress's intent that any challenges to the quality of information disseminated by federal agencies should take place in administrative proceedings before federal agencies and not in the courts. The first and only court to address this issue determined that the IQA does not provide for a private cause of action.”.

This statement was made in a brief that successfully asked for the dismissal of a lawsuit lodged by the Salt Institute (a salt-producers' association) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce against the Department of Health and Human Services in federal court using the Information Quality Act. The suit alleged that federal scientists lacked evidence that salt was harmful to health but was dismissed by a trial and appellate court. The Journal of the American Dietetic Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) which is part of the US National Institutes of Health claimed that the food industry is adding too much salt to foods. The motion to dismiss was granted "because the Plaintiffs lack standing to sue, there is no private right of action under the Information Quality Act, and the NHLBI's actions regarding the DASH-Sodium Trial data are not subject to judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act."

In July 2019, the Department of Justice maintained that there was "no basis" for lawsuits based on the Information Quality Act. Protect Democracy Project Inc. and the Brennan Center for Justice had filed a suit demanding the U. S. Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security correct a report linking immigration with terrorism. The report remained online, unchanged.

 * My name is Timbur-Helgi Hermannsson, neologistic poet of the High Icelandic language movement. There are different terms for linguistic purism that are used by linguists but you can't find them in encyclopedias.  there's regressive purism, which means that very old loan-words are replaced (very rare form), revolutionary purism is when a large part of the vocabulary in a language is replaced by neologisms in a very short time (The only example is the Turkish language reform lead by Kemal atatûrk).  trimming purism is a terminvented by the linguist George thomas.  It designates languages that sometimes undergo a puristic wave when the influence of other languages is threatening. These are no established terms.  But Ultrapurism is a clear description of what High Icelandic is about.  There is no better term for it.  The members of the High Icelandic langauge council use the Icelandic translation of ultrapurism (málgjörhreinsun).

Tarafa

Tarafa (طرفة بن العبد بن سفيان بن سعد أبو عمرو البكري الوائلي / ALA-LC: Ṭarafah ibn al-‘Abd ibn Sufyān ibn Sa‘d Abū ‘Amr al-Bakrī al-Wā’ilī; 543–569), was a 6th century Arabian poet of the tribe of the Bakr. He is one of the seven poets of the most celebrated anthology of ancient Arabic poetry, known as the Muʿallaqāt, however just one of his poems is included. His fellow poets preserved in this work are Al-Nabigha, Antarah ibn Shaddad, Zuhayr bin Abi Sulma, 'Alqama ibn 'Abada and Imru' al-Qais.

Life
Ṭarafah was the half-brother or nephew of the elegist Al-Khirniq bint Badr. He traveled with his uncle Mutalammis to the court of the king of Al-Hirah, ʿAmr ibn Hind, and there became companion to the king's brother. According to one legend, having ridiculed the king in some verses he was sent with a letter to the ruler of Bahrayn, and, in accordance with the instructions contained in the letter, was buried alive. "Tarafa's bitter tongue was destined to cost him dear.

Fatigued and disgusted by the rigid ceremony of the court, he improvised a satire in which he said:-
 * "Would that we had instead of 'Amr
 * A milch-ewe bleating round our tent"

Shortly afterwards he happened to be seated at table opposite the king's sister. Struck with her beauty, he exclaimed:-
 * "Behold, she has come back to me,
 * My fair gazelle whose ear-rings shine;
 * Had not the king been sitting here,
 * I would have pressed her lips to mine !"

'Amr b. Hind was a man of violent and implacable temper. Tarafa's satire had already been reported to him, and this new impertinence added fuel to his wrath. Sending for Tarafa and Mutalammis, he granted them leave to visit their homes, and gave to each of them a sealed letter addressed to the governor of Bahrayn. When they had passed outside the city the suspicions of Mutalammis were aroused. As neither he nor his companion could read, he handed his own letter to a boy of Hira and learned that it contained orders to bury him alive. Thereupon he flung the treacherous missive into the stream and implored Tarafa to do likewise. Tarafa refused to break the royal seal. He continued his journey to Bahrayn, where he was thrown into prison and executed."

- Nicholson

Modern Translations
While some of his poems have been translated into Latin with notes by B. Vandenhoff (Berlin, 1895), both Tharafa and the poet Imru al-Qais were not included by Theodor Nöldeke in his Fünf Moallaqat, übersetzt und erklärt (Vienna, 1899-1901).

Ubiquitarians

The Ubiquitarians, also called Ubiquists, were a Protestant sect that held that the body of Christ was everywhere, including the Eucharist. The sect was started at the Lutheran synod of Stuttgart, 19 December 1559, by Johannes Brenz (1499–1570), a Swabian. Its profession, made under the name of Duke Christopher of Württemberg and entitled the "Württemberg Confession," was sent to the Council of Trent in 1552, but had not been formally accepted as the Ubiquitarian creed until the synod at Stuttgart.

Setting
Luther had upset the peace of Germany by his disputes. In the effort to reconcile and unite the contending forces against the Turks, Charles V demanded of the Lutherans a written statement of their doctrines. This—the "Augsburg Confession"—was composed by Philip Melanchthon, and read at a meeting at Augsburg in 1530. Its tenth article concerned the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, a burning question among the Protestants.

In 1540, Melanchthon published another version of the "Augsburg Confession", in which the article on the Real Presence differed essentially from what had been expressed in 1530. The wording was as follows:

 * Edition of 1530: "Concerning the Lord's Supper, they teach that the body and blood of Christ are truly present, and are distributed (communicated) to those that eat in the Lord's Supper; and they disapprove of those that teach otherwise."
 * Edition of 1540: "Concerning the Lord's Supper, they teach that with bread and wine are truly exhibited the body and blood of Christ to those that eat in the Lord's Supper."

Johann Eck, in a conference at Worms, 1541, was the first to call attention to the change. Debates followed, and the Ubiquitarian controversy arose, the question being: Is the body of Christ in the Eucharist, and if so, why?

The Confession of 1540 was known as the Reformed doctrine. To this, Melanchthon, with his adherents, subscribed and maintained that Christ's body was not in the Eucharist. They maintained this because the Eucharist exists in multiple locations at once, and it is impossible, they contended, for a body to be in many places simultaneously.

Adopting Martin Luther's interpretation of the communicatio idiomatum, Brenz argued that the attributes of the Divine Nature had been communicated to the humanity of Christ which thus was deified. If deified, it was everywhere, ubiquitous, just as His divinity, and therefore really present in the Eucharist. This teaching of Brenz was in partial agreement with the Catholic faith—as to the fact, but not as to the explanation. His assertion that Christ's human nature had been deified, and that His body was in the Eucharist as it was elsewhere, contradicted Catholic teaching and was considered heretical.

Later events
In 1583, Martin Chemnitz, who had unconsciously been defending the Catholic doctrine, calmed the discussion by his adhesion to absolute Ubiquitarianism.

This doctrine appeared again in 1616 under the names of Kenoticism and Crypticism, but sank into oblivion in the troubles of the Thirty Years' War.

What makes something a moonlight tower or not? The NJ approach to the Lincoln Tunnel has gorgeous giant deco lighting that cover huge areas of approach ramps and toll booths... -- Akb4 (talk) 08:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe "Moonlight Tower" in the context of this article refers to lighting structures built in the late 19th and early 20th century. There are many modern lighting structures that illuminate large sections of street, but are generally not referred to as moonlight towers. -Nv8200p talk 13:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Dazed and Confused
The Austin Moon Tower was featured in the movie "Dazed and Confused". During a keg party in the woods a group of party goers climb the Moon Tower to check out the view from above. William Cullen72.92.9.49 (talk) 19:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

 * First of all there are several moonlight towers in Austin, but I don't know that any of them is in a forest. AnonMoos (talk) 22:08, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Article in TheAtlantic.com
This March 2013 article discusses Moonlight Towers and appears to be based in part on this article. It includes a photo from the Commons as well as several historical, likely-out-of-copyright photographs that could be uploaded to the Commons. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  04:36, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Too narrow a definition?
The photographs of moonlight towers in Austin are subsantially similar to structures I've personally viewed throughout Oregon's Metro Region (vaguely Portland and vicinity) and see at almost every major highway junction and large roundabout in Oklahoma. I've also heard of these lighting towers referred to as moonlight towers, and are often referred to as a more responsible urban lighting plan, since these lights tend to be a bit more guided, from a greater height, allowing a lower amount of light to be spread over a wider, yet better defined area, thus making an area easier to see and generating far less light pollution, than most lower-to-the-ground lighting options. 70.169.52.124 (talk) 05:55, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

 * They could be influenced by late-19th century moonlight towers, but presumably are not actual authentic late-19th century moonlight towers... AnonMoos (talk) 10:00, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything that defines the term Moonlight Tower to a certain era. If there is reliable verifiable information that the current generation of lighting are being dubbed moonlight towers, I don't see why it should not be added to the article. -Nv8200p talk 11:22, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
