Lists
I am considering creating a list of invisible disabilities on this page, but because there are so many, and because I don't know of all of them, I am hesitating. Perhaps a list of some "popular" (heh) ones, with a caveat that there are many, many more? --Jacqui M Schedler 16:50, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * One possible difficulty I would assume would be the number of disabilities that can be visible and invisible. Peoplesunionpro 17:53, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Inappropriate promotion
I've removed this paragraph:

For more information visit the web site for National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week. http://www.invisibleillness.com. It is held annually in September, and is a designated time, worldwide, in which people who live with chronic illness, those that love them, and organizations are encouraged to educate the general public, churches, healthcare professionals and government officials about the impact of living with a chronic illness that is not visually apparent.

on the grounds that it's inappropriately promotional in tone. Wikipedia is not an advertising forum. WhatamIdoing 23:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Mental retardation/Intellectual disabilities
Shouldn't this be counted? I mean, sometimes you can tell that someone has an intellectual disability, but the same can be said for autism and schizophrenia, and some other disabilities listed. You can't always tell.Gorramdoll (talk) 17:24, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Hyperacusis
You should mention Hyperacusis as an invisble disability. I cannot tell you personally having Hyperacusis myself, the ignorance and negative attitudes of people when you suggest you cannot sit near children, cause your ears will hurt when they shreik or shout. There also is the issue of in general, people acting as if you're making up that you have hearing problems for attention for example.

I think there needs to be an adressing of Hyperacusis, on the level of Fibromyalgia. Which has a ad for a drug to help it, that says "If you could see how I'm in pain, would you care then?" Nobody seems to care about the pain people with Hyperacusis suffer, it's as simple as moving your family down a few seats at the resturant. When I visit Hyperacusis communities, all that is discussed is how to try and cope with the symptoms, because it's impossible to get most people to understand the concept that, no you don't hate children, you don't want to feel like your eardrum is going to burst. I think if this was a disability that didn't involve the need not to be around children, it wouldn't be so ignored. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Violet yoshi (talk • contribs) 13:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

 * It probrably should be added as an example. Whether or not people "care" about that specific disability is more appropriate for the page on that specific disability. It could be added as a general remark applying to invisible disabilities in general. 216.36.186.2 (talk) 18:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Examples
I've just been through the lists; removed some items; shifted others. What is the point of the lists? Doesn't the lead define the concept well enough? Presently the lists seem to be being used by some editors to push their opinion about etiology. I'd be happy to see the lot go and the article concentrate on the issues common to all IDs. Maybe the examples could form the stub of a separate article List of invisible disabilities. Though I would strongly recommend making it a simple alphabetical list to avoid classification haggles. Anthony (talk) 08:51, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You know what, I'll remove the lists entirely and direct people who disagree with the removal here. There are a lot of disabilities that can be either visible or invisible (sometimes in the person!). --I dream of horses (T) @ 01:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I suspect that the point is merely validation of "my" disability as being one of these. We see this in a lot of articles:  You write something like "Fatigue (medical) can be caused by autoimmune diseases, cancer, depression, sleep problems...", and someone invariably adds whatever specific subtype of these general categories is on his mind.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:39, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I have just taken them out - again... Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:31, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Psychological/psychiatric disabilities?
Shouldn't things like PTSD, bipolar disorder, etc, be included?--  TyrS  chatties  04:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * They certainly seem to be covered by the description. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 05:11, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

restraint section removed -- needed more work than I could give it
I removed text in this edit. It's a good topic, but needs to be introduced from the topic of invisible disability, and with more neutral language. Hope someone else can do that cleanup. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 13:40, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I fully support your removing that "rant". The topic is not specifically relevant to this article. Apart from the NPOV and UNREF problems it really belongs in Disability rights or a related article. Segregation and restraint definitely does not affect only people with invisible disabilities. Roger (talk) 14:10, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Ideologies which Affect People with Invisible Disability
I'm not sure this section belongs in this article. Also it appears somewhat biased. Ggrzw (talk) 23:29, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Attitudes
I can't put this in the article, but I have seen some anger towards persons with invisible disabilities (including myself). Reactions range from they're faking it to it's all in their head. Additionally, most people seem to think that a person must be crippled to be disabled. There also is a good deal of confusion between Welfare and Disability Assistance.--Auric (talk) 20:19, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Service Animals / Support Animals
This is a common issue for people with invisible disabilities. I think it is worth a mention and an internal link. I can think of the following points: 1. Service animals seem to display or 'prove' the existence of a disability, e.g. seeing eye dogs. For the same reason, they may make people more vulnerable to harassment. The fact of one's disability may be challenged constantly as they navigate grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, etc. who assume the animal's status is a ruse. 2. People with more unusual disabilities (such as narcolepsy) or service animals (miniature horses, rabbits, rats...) face unique difficulties. 3. Many areas outside the US or western culture have a long tradition of using service animals. Examples I have seen include dogs, horses, mules, donkeys, goats, monkeys, and apes. I am sorry I do not have time to find sources myself. Thank you for considering these suggestions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.192.101.253 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 28 January 2013

 * There are several articles on the subject, including Service animal, that might interest you.
 * You seem to be in the US, so you may particularly want to look into the latest regulations. Rabbits, rats, etc., have been defined by federal regulation as not qualifying as service animals.  Service animals must be dogs (or rarely miniature horses), and they must be trained to perform specific actions.  Animals that merely lower a person's stress or anxiety level no longer qualify; legally, they're the same as pets and do not have to be permitted in stores, restaurants, etc.  As I understand it, any store, restaurant, etc., may legally ask a person with an animal "Is that a service animal?" and "What tasks has it been trained to perform for you?"  If the answer to the latter is "Nothing, I just feel better when he's here", then they may legally exclude the animal from the premises.   WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:17, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

There is a difference between ESA (emotional support animals) and PSA (Psychiatric service animals). A PSA is trained to perform a specific task for a person with mental illness, is ADA recognized, and has the same legal protections as a service animal that services someone with a physical disability

visible but not recognized as disability
The notion of 'invisible' seems limited. What about a section on misunderstood disabling characteristics, for example, erratic eye movements (some neurological disorders), trembling of hand (CP), overly intense gaze (AS), slightly off balance gait (CP). These are behaviors that interfere with successful interpersonal communication because of the feelings of discomfort felt by the non affected communication partner. They can be misinterpreted as disinterest, extreme nervousness, even substance abuse. With regards to employment, such interpretations may have a drastic affect on successful job interviewing. And yet the person with the mild symptoms of disability may not wish to disclose the disability, as was mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vakdevi (talk • contribs) 13:25, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

 * That is an interesting perspective! If they are visible they should at least signal of disability but in a rude society its often not seen nor considered to be disability. Thabk you for mentioning and at least a point should be added into the article.

"[People] with...'non-24' are as a rule unemployable"
"Non-blind people with the circadian rhythm disorder 'non-24' are as a rule unemployable and there are no visible signs of that."

To say "as a rule unemployable" makes the assumption that all such people are categorically unemployable. This would be not just a matter of subjective opinion, but a false one at that: independent contractors (artists, programmers, etc.) with non-24 could presumably complete contracts despite the disability. Moreover, no source is cited to corroborate the statement.

Perhaps the statement can be reworded: "Non-blind people with the circadian rhythm disorder 'non-24' are often unemployable and there are no visible signs of that." Still lacks a cited source, but is less of a misguided generalization.

Want translation into many language
This article is related to a fundamental human right and about a tricky condition yet such an importan article has been translated into only 4 languages. Requesting to translate it to more language so that more people can know about it.

SimpleSilly (talk) 06:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

High importance
These conditions are heavily misinterpreted as 'laziness', 'intentional unwillingness', 'not trying hard enough' etc. Autism/ asperger type cognition also create lot of misunderstanding in the society.

Employment discrimination is reported to play a significant part in the high rate of unemployment among those with a diagnosis of mental illness. An Australian study found that having a mental illness is a bigger barrier to employment than a physical disability. The mentally ill are stigmatized in Chinese society and can not legally marry.

- from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder

Not by any chance "hidden disability" is any less important than anything. For the disabled people, it is all encompassing their life and, according to social model of disability, the society is responsible for it, not the disabled person. So hidden disability is utmost important for the entire society too. Also who do the 'mistake' of ignoring a disability (due to invisibility) is the society, so the society needs to be consider this as important. Please consider the article as top importance. SimpleSilly (talk) 16:04, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

It is also very disheartening to see such a tricky disability condition is being rated as low importance. I am assigning it as high importance SimpleSilly (talk) 16:10, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have assigned it mid-importance. It is not a depth of knowledge, not a must-have for a print encyclopedidia, but not mainly of specialist interest. If you have any concerns, message me. 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me!  12:40, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Wiki Education assignment: Disability, Communication and Visual Culture

Perceived disability
I have just removed this from the article:

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 has been amended several times such that the definition of "handicapped" includes the statement, "any person who... (C) is regarded as having such an impairment".

This particular defining point of "handicapped" puts the assessment of impairment in the hands of observers who may or may not regard others as having an impairment. For people with disabilities, invisible or not, this creates a space for discriminatory practices which stem from the observer's perception of who is disabled and who is not.

I've removed this because the second paragraph leads me to believe that whoever added this (which hopefully wasn't me... ;-) didn't quite understand it. This US law covers people with actual disabilities and people with perceived disabilities. The inclusion of non-disabled people who are incorrectly perceived to have a disability does not take anything away from people with invisible disabilities. Including more people does not "puts the assessment of impairment in the hands of observers" or "create a space for discriminatory practices". WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:58, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Nasreddine has played for six different NHL organizations, but mostly played in the minor leagues. He saw very limited NHL duty: he played fewer than 10 games each for the Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens, and New York Islanders, but played most of his time in the NHL for the Pittsburgh Penguins, totaling 74 career NHL games. He scored his first and only NHL goal on December 16, 2006, as the Penguins fell 6-3 to the Canadiens in Montreal. In 2008, he signed with the Sinupret Ice Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga, and after two seasons in the DEL was released on June 12, 2010, following the 2009–10 season.

On June 17, 2015, Nasreddine was named an assistant coach for the New Jersey Devils. On December 3, 2019, he was named interim head coach of the Devils. On October 2, 2020, he was retained as an assistant coach of the Devils after the hiring of Lindy Ruff as head coach on July 9, and served as assistant coach until his contract was not renewed on May 4, 2022.

On July 1, 2022, Nasreddine was named as assistant coach under head coach Peter DeBoer of the Dallas Stars.

Personal life
Nasreddine grew up in Saint-Leonard, Quebec, the son of Akram, a Lebanese Muslim immigrant, and Francine, a French-Canadian Catholic. He has one younger brother, Samy, who was also an ice hockey player. Akram owns a pizza chain in Montreal, Pizza Madonna, and has previously owned other restaurants and a convenience store. He is one of four NHL players of Lebanese descent, along with John Hanna, Ed Hatoum, and Nazem Kadri.

Bernardo Tasso

Bernardo Tasso (11 November 1493 – 5 September 1569), born in the Republic of Venice, was an Italian courtier and poet.

Biography
He was, for many years, secretary in the service of the prince of Salerno, and his wife Porzia de Rossi was closely connected with the most illustrious Neapolitan families. Their son, the great poet Torquato Tasso, was born at Sorrento in 1544. During the boy's childhood the prince of Salerno came into collision with the Spanish government of Naples, was outlawed, and was deprived of his hereditary fiefs. Tasso shared in this disaster of his patron. He and his son were proclaimed rebels to the state.

Bernardo's sister, Bordelisia Tasso al secolo (circa 1500 -1567), was placed by her uncle in the Benedictine monastery of San Grata in Bergamo.

Bernardo moved to Rome where his son joined him in about 1552. In 1556 news came that Porzia had died, and Bernardo suspected her brother of poisoning her with the object of getting control over her property. As it subsequently happened, Porzia's estate never descended to her son; and the daughter Cornelia married below her birth, at the instigation of her maternal relatives.

He served various noblemen then, among them duke Guidobaldo II, in whose court his son Torquato was educated. When Bernardo was serving the duke of Mantua, Guglielmo Gonzaga, he was appointed governor of Ostiglia.

When, therefore, an opening at the court of Urbino was offered in 1557, Bernardo Tasso gladly accepted it. He read cantos of his Amadigi to the duchess and her ladies, or discussed the merits of Homer and Virgil, Trissino and Ariosto, with the duke's librarians and secretaries. He also traveled to Venice to superintend the printing of the Amadigi.

Bernardo Tasso died in Ostiglia, then part of the Duchy of Mantua.

Work
An author of diverse works, Tasso wrote psalms, eclogues, sonnets and odes. The latter were the first Italian poems written in the manner of Horace. His lyric poems were published with the title Amori in Venice (1555). His main work, L'Amadigi, is an epic poem divided in 100 cantos and inspired by the Spanish chivalric romance Amadis de Gaula (known in fragmentary form since the 14th century; first printed in its entirety in 1508). The Amadigi was left incomplete but was later completed by his son Torquato, who published the full text under the title Floridante in 1587.

Mor Gabriel Monastery

Dayro d-Mor Gabriel (the Monastery of Saint Gabriel), also known as Deyrulumur, is the oldest surviving Syriac Orthodox monastery in the world. It is located on the Tur Abdin plateau near Midyat in the Mardin Province in southeastern Turkey. It has been involved in a dispute with the Turkish government that threatened its existence. Syriac Orthodox culture was centered in two monasteries near Mardin (west of Tur Abdin), Mor Gabriel Monastery and Deyrulzafaran.

History
Dayro d-Mor Gabriel was founded in 397 by the ascetic Mor Shmu'el (Samuel) and his student Mor Shem'un (Simon). According to tradition, Shem'un had a dream in which an Angel commanded him to build a House of Prayer in a location marked with three large stone blocks. When Shem'un awoke, he took his teacher to the place and found the stone the angel had placed. At this spot Mor Gabriel Monastery built.

The monastery's importance grew and by the 6th century there were over 1000 local and Coptic monks there. The monastery became so famous that it received contributions from Roman Emperors, such as Arcadius, Honorius, Theodosius II and Anastasius. Between 615 and 1049 the Episcopal seat of Tur Abdin was based here and from 1049 until 1915 the monastery had its own diocese.

In the 7th century, the monastery became known as Monastery of St Gabriel, who was famous for his ascetic life. In the fourteenth century four hundred and forty monks were killed by invading Mongols. In 1991, the remains of monks killed by Timur (Tamerlane) were found in caves underneath the monastery, dated to the year 1401. During the Seyfo genocide the monks were massacred by Kurds and the monastery was occupied for four years until returned to the church in 1919.

The monastery is an important center for the Syriac-Orthodox Christians of Tur Abdin with around fifteen nuns and two monks occupying separate wings, as well as a fluctuating number of local lay workers and guests from overseas. It maintained a significant library however, almost nothing remains. The monastery is currently the seat of the metropolitan bishop of Tur Abdin. In its history the monastery has produced many high-ranking clerics and scholars, among them, four patriarchs, a Maphrian and 84 bishops.

Dayro d-Mor Gabriel is a working community set amongst gardens and orchards, and somewhat disfigured by 1960s residential accommodation. The monastery's primary purpose is to keep Syriac Orthodox Christianity alive in the land of its birth by providing schooling, ordination of native-born monks. On occasions it has provided physical protection to the Christian population.

Dayro d-Mor Gabriel is open to visitors, and it is possible to stay with permission, but is closed after dark.

Legal disputes
Between 2008 and 2018, the monastery was involved in a land dispute with the Turkish government and Kurdish village leaders, particularly those linked to the Çelebi tribe, backed by local representatives of the ruling Justice and Development Party. In 2008 the villages of Eğlence, Çandarlı and Yayvantepe as well as the Turkish Land Registry and the Forestry Ministry filed legal proceeding disputing the territory of the monastery. The monastery won the legal dispute against the villages but lost to the Turkish authorities, and it officially lost the rights to 60 percent of its territory. The monastery took the case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). In meetings with the monastery's bishop, the Turkish prime minister and president implied that the land dispute was initiated as retaliation against the Syriac diaspora for lobbying for international recognition of the killings of tens of thousands of Syriacs during World War I as genocide. The attempts to confiscate land owned by the monastery garnered attention from many European governments and gathered opposition to Turkey's EU bid, and could be the basis of a case by the monastery at the ECHR. Otmar Oehring from Missio, a German Catholic charity, said that the cases meant that “the state's actions suggest it wishes that the monastery no longer existed.”

The government and villages' lawsuit claimed that the monastery was built on the grounds of a previous mosque, even though the monastery was founded over 170 years before the birth of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

On 26 January 2011, the Turkish supreme court granted substantial parts of the Monastery to the Turkish Treasury. The ruling held that land inside and adjacent to the monastery, which the monastery has controlled for decades and has paid taxes on, belongs to the state. On June 13, 2012, the Turkish Supreme Court of Appeals upheld this decision, which Assyrians continued to protest.

Then-prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on 30 September 2013 that the land would be returned to the Syriac community in Turkey. This decision was approved a week later (7 October) by the Prime Ministry Directorate General of Foundations. A land registration process of two months would begin and was subject to approval.

The head of the Monastery of Mor Gabriel Foundation was handed the deeds of 12 parcels of the immovable property belonged to the Foundation of the Monastery of Mor Gabriel on 25 February 2014. This was based on the decision taken on 7 October 2013 by the Council of Foundations of the General Directorate of the Foundations. The legal process for taking the remaining 18 parcels of the monastery property continued.

A news report in June 2018 stated that the Turkish Parliament had passed an omnibus bill which was then signed into law by the president to return historic Syriac properties. The government returned the title deeds which had been confiscated from Mor Gabriel Monastery.

Hans Zimmer
I think there is an error - Hans Zimmer had not been born at the time Carrillo studied in Belgium. It is possible Carrillo was himself taught by Eugène Ysaÿe but I would not know how to verify this. I hope someone can make the appropriate edit. Thanks. --Imiraraimi (talk) 18:31, 21 August 2018 (UTC)imiraraimi
 * Which Hans Zimmer are you talking about? According to this article, he was a violinist and pupil of Ysaÿe. If you are speaking of the Hans Zimmer who was born in 1957 then, no, of course he could not have studied with Ysaÿe, who died in 1931. On the other hand, Gerald R. Benjamin's article on Carrillo in the New Grove says it was Albert Zimmer with whom Carrillo studied in Ghent. The source cited at the end of the paragraph, Mena 1915, may have got the name wrong, or maybe (less likely) it was Benjamin who made a mistake.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 19:05, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

 * It is significant more likely that Carillo studied with Albert Zimmer. This Zimmer was a violinist, and founder of a quartet in his name (the Zimmer Quartet) . In the 1903 article of The Strad, it said Zimmer was a former pupil of Ysaye, and "now" (which I will assume means recently at the time) became a professor at the Ghent University, the university where Carrillo went to at the same time.

Metamorphosen

Metamorphosen, study for 23 solo strings (TrV 290, AV 142) is a composition by Richard Strauss for ten violins, five violas, five cellos, and three double basses, typically lasting 25 to 30 minutes. It was composed during the closing months of the Second World War, from August 1944 to March 1945. The piece was commissioned by Paul Sacher, the founder and director of the Basler Kammerorchester and Collegium Musicum Zürich, to whom Strauss dedicated it. It was first performed on 25 January 1946 by Sacher and the Collegium Musicum Zürich, with Strauss conducting the final rehearsal.

Composition history
By 1944, Strauss was in poor health and needed to visit the Swiss spa at Baden near Zürich. But he was unable to get the Nazi government's permission to travel abroad. Karl Böhm, Paul Sacher and Willi Schuh came up with a plan to get the travel permit: a commission from Sacher and invitation to the premiere in Zurich. The commission was made in a letter by Böhm on August 28, 1944, for a "suite for strings". Strauss replied that he had been working for some time on an adagio for 11 strings. In fact, his early work on Metamorphosen was for a septet (2 violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos and a bass). The starting date for the score is given as 13 March 1945, which suggests that the destruction of the Vienna opera house the previous day gave Strauss the impetus to finish the work and draw together his previous sketches in just one month (finished on 12 April 1945).

As with his other late works, Strauss builds the music from a series of small melodic ideas "which are the point of departure for the development of the entire composition." In this unfolding of ideas "Strauss applies here all of the rhetorical means developed over the centuries to express pain." But he also alternates passages in a major key expressing hope and optimism with passages of sadness, as in the finales of both Gustav Mahler's 6th Symphony and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony. The overall structure of the piece is "a slow introduction, a quick central section, and a return to the initial slower tempo", which echoes the structure of Death and Transfiguration.

There are five basic thematic elements in Metamorphosen. First, there are the opening chords. Second, there is the repetition of three short notes followed by a fourth long note. Third, there is the direct quote from bar 3 of the "Marcia funebre" from Beethoven's Eroica Symphony. Fourth, there is a minor theme with triplets. Fifth, there is the lyrical theme "that becomes the source of much of the contrasting music in major, sunnier keys." The second theme does not stand on its own, but precedes the third and fourth themes. Its most obvious source is Beethoven's 5th Symphony, for example the short-short-short-long repetition of G played by the horns in the third movement. But it has other progenitors: the Finale of Mozart's Jupiter Symphony (a personal favorite of Strauss as a conductor) and the Fugue from Bach's Solo Violin Sonata in G minor BWV 1001. Strauss also used it in the Oboe Concerto, written only a few months after Metamorphosen, displaying "a remarkable example of the thematic links between the last instrumental works". He had also used this motif over 60 years before in his 1881 Piano Sonata.

At the end of Metamorphosen, Strauss quotes the first four bars of the Eroica's "Marcia funebre" with the annotation "IN MEMORIAM!" at the bottom. Metamorphosen exhibits the complex counterpoint for which Strauss showed a predilection throughout his life.

Metamorphosen and the Munich Memorial Waltz
One of the pieces Strauss had been working on before Metamorphosen was the orchestral movement Munich Memorial Waltz, sketches of which appear in the same notebook in which Strauss began sketches for Metamorphosen. The Munich Memorial Waltz has a different time signature (Metamorphosen is in 4/4) and is based on different thematic material, including a waltz and other themes from the opera Feuersnot relating to fire. In fact the Munich Waltz is mainly based on music Strauss wrote for a 1939 film about Munich, which has been called a Gelegenheitswalzer ("Occasional Waltz") and premiered on 24 May 1939. In late 1944 and 1945 Strauss sketched some music in waltz time described in his sketchbook as Trauer um München ("Mourning for Munich"). This music was eventually combined with the 1939 piece as a middle section, headed "Minore – In Memoriam". The new piece was finished on 24 February 1945, and the subtitle Gelegenheitswaltzer was replaced with Gedächtniswalzer ("Memorial Waltz"). The Munich Memorial Waltz (TrV 274a and AV 140) lasts about 9 minutes, and was first published and performed in 1951. Timothy L. Jackson believes that scholars who interpret the early sketches of München as the origin of Metamorphosen have a weak, even untenable case.

Interpretations
Strauss himself never commented on Metamorphosen's meaning, beyond the title (which means "changes" or "transformations"). The title does not seem to refer to the musical treatment of the themes, "since within the piece itself the themes never do undergo metamorphosis ... but rather a continuous symphonic development."

It has been widely believed that Strauss wrote the work as a statement of mourning for Germany's destruction during the war, in particular as an elegy for the devastating bombing of Munich, especially places such as the Munich Opera House. The use of the term "In Memoriam" may well echo his use of the same term in the Munich Memorial Waltz, where it is clearly related to Munich. Juergen May believes that the piece is a musical monument to culture in general, "more than three thousand years of humankind's cultural development". A few days after finishing Metamorphosen, Strauss wrote in his diary: "The most terrible period of human history is at an end, the twelve year reign of bestiality, ignorance and anti-culture under the greatest criminals, during which Germany's 2,000 years of cultural evolution met its doom."

There has been speculation about other interpretations. Jackson concludes that Metamorphosen is a philosophical, Goethean study of the underlying cause of war in general, humankind's bestial nature. In his view Metamorphosen uses the classical concept of metamorphosis as a process of transcending from the mundane into the divine, but inverts it such that the outcome of metamorphosis is not an attainment of the divine but rather a descent into bestiality. Michael Kennedy also develops the view that Strauss's chronological rereading of Goethe during 1944 was a crucial influence. He quotes Strauss as telling a visitor: "I am reading him as he developed and as he finally became...Now that I am old myself I will be young again with Goethe and then again old with him—with his eyes. For he was a man of eyes—he saw what I heard." At the same time as he was starting sketches for Metamorphosen Strauss was working on a sketch for choir based on the following verses of Goethe (from Zahme Xenien (VII), 1827, see translations in and ).

Niemand wird sich selber kennen, Sich von seinem Selbst-Ich trennen; Doch probier' er jeden Tag, Was nach außen endlich, klar, Was er ist und was er war, Was er kann und was er mag.

Wie's aber in der Welt zugeht, Eigentlich niemand recht versteht, Und auch bis auf den heutigen Tag Niemand gerne verstehen mag. Gehabe du dich mit Verstand, Wie dir eben der Tag zur Hand; Denk immer: ist's gegangen bis jetzt, So wird es wohl auch gehen zuletzt. No one can really know himself, detach himself from his inner being Yet, each day he must put to the test, What is in the end, clear. What he is and what he was, what he can be and what he might be.

But, what goes on in the world, No one really understands it rightly, and also up to the present day, no one desires to understand it. Conduct yourself with discernment. Just as the day offers itself; Think always: it's gone well up to now, so might it go until the end.

The two verses (which are not consecutive) are taken from the poem "Dedication" (Widmung), about the scholar and artist trying to understand himself and the world. According to Norman Del Mar, "These lines of searching introspection Strauss wrote out in full amongst the pages of sketches for Metamorphosen, the word metamorphosen being itself a term Goethe used in old age to apply to his own mental development over a great period of time in pursuit of ever more exalted thinking."

The quotation from the funeral march of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony with the words "In Memoriam!" has also raised speculation. The Eroica theme is motivically related to one of the main themes of Metamorphosen, but Strauss wrote that the connection did not occur to him until he was almost finished. There are several theories about how and why Strauss quoted Beethoven, and to whom or what "in memoriam" refers. In 1947 the critic Matthijs Vermeulen claimed the whole piece was an elegy for the Nazi regime, and that "in memoriam" referred to Hitler himself (although Hitler did not commit suicide until over two weeks after the piece was completed). This theory was quickly and strongly denied by Willi Schuh, who had been involved with the work from the beginning. Schuh stated that "in memoriam" referred not to Hitler but to Beethoven, and most scholars since then have supported this idea. Another theory involves Beethoven's Eroica having originally been dedicated to Napoleon, but after Beethoven's disillusion with Napoleon rededicated "to the memory of a great man", while Napoleon was still alive and in power; Strauss's quotation of the Eroica and writing "in memoriam" can be seen as having interesting parallels with Strauss's own involvement with and rejection of Hitler and the Nazi regime. Beethoven had ironically "buried" and memorialized the still-living Napoleon. Strauss could have been pointing to a famous precedent for his own rejection of a tyrant he had once been associated with. But while Beethoven had admired Napoleon, there is no evidence that Strauss ever admired Hitler. Also, Strauss was fond of oblique references and multiple layers of meaning and connotation. He may have meant the quotation and words "in memoriam" in more than one way.

Main themes
The main themes of Metamorphosen are given here at the pitch they first occur. The first four themes occur in the first 20 bars. The fifth theme occurs at bar 82, with the tempo marking "etwas fließender" (slightly flowing).

Arrangements
An arrangement for string septet by Rudolf Leopold was published in 1996.

Over, Cambridgeshire

Over is a large village near the River Great Ouse in the English county of Cambridgeshire, just east of the prime meridian.

The parish covers an area of approximately 2535 acre. It is 10 mi east of the town of Huntingdon and is also 10 mi northwest from the city of Cambridge.

Over contains the basic village facilities, including a primary school, shop, one public house (the Admiral Vernon) and St. Mary's Church. In recent years, the village has expanded rapidly, with the inclusion of several housing estates, a community and conference centre and modern sporting facilities. An Over day centre was set up in 1989 by Pamela Cressey. The Over Community Centre was set up with National Lottery funding of almost £1 million in 1999.

Over is mentioned in the poem "The Old Vicarage, Grantchester", by Rupert Brooke.

History

By 1628 the fens and meres to the north of the settlement were enclosed, as was the rest of the village land by 1837.

Originally, there were two distinct settlements. One was at Church End around St Mary's Parish Church, the other at Over End – the south-eastern part of the village around West street.

When it comes to buildings, Over is a village full of contrast both in terms of age and designs. Although the exact date is unknown, a row of old thatched cottages on the north side of the High Street were burned to the ground during a fire started by an arsonist. These were replaced by the large Victorian houses which feature balconies to the front.

Much of the antiquated property in the village is Victorian, as the majority of the older clunch and wattle cottages have been demolished.

The influence of the Dutch who, under the leadership of the engineer Vermuyden, came to drain the Fens, can be seen in several of Over's older houses – the Old Black Horse in the High Street and the Ivy House in Fen End are the most obvious, with their rounded end-walls and angled brick-ties.

The town hall, in the High Street opposite Overcote Road, has the date MDCCCXLIX (1849) carved over the door.

Apart from the parish church, the oldest remaining structure in Over now is believed to be the wall running down Fen End from the Willingham Road corner. The small patch of wall, now incorporated into newer brickwork, was believed by Ernie Papworth to have stood for over 500 years.

St Mary's Church
St Mary's Church is made almost entirely of stone from Barnack, in the extreme north of Cambridgeshire. It has traces of 14th century work, including flower-ball carvings, gargoyles representing birds and beasts, and a south porch of perfect proportions.

Its size reflects the significant income the village received from, among other things, the Suffolk wool trade and goods sold in the market at St Ives.

Unlike many Fenland and edge-of-fen churches, it is highly ornamented, which is evidence of the amount of money that was available at the time of construction and decoration: the more complicated the work, the more it cost.

There are also two other churches in Over: a Methodist church in the Lanes, which was built in 1848 and features a typical one-storey design found in Methodist churches; and a Baptist church in New Road, built directly onto a house whose owner gave the land for the church to be built in 1737.

Over today
Today's Over is within a part of Cambridgeshire where there is enormous pressure for expansion with new housing and industrial and commercial buildings. The village has seen a number of estates built over the past 30 years. Plans have been approved for limited further growth, most of which is likely to be on small sites dotted around the village. One such development is a new estate, Hazel Green, which was completed by Camstead Homes in 2011.

The village's population in 1951 was 910, rising to 2,420 by 1991.

I don't see how they can have all this positive stuff on here about here and skip all the negative, the lady has killed the athletic department and nuetered the BBall program that was continuing to rise under a future hall of fame coach! Don Cincinnati

 * Continuing to rise? The BBall program had stagnated and was overrated under Huggins. They played a soft schedule in a second rate conference (CUSA).  She simply put integrity and academics ahead of winning games.  Besides, she hasn't killed the athletic department.  The football program has never been better.  Dave, Cincinnati

 * Her popularity or unpopularity is of no interest to me. I was asking the wisdom of suggesting vandalism of other pages. Rkevins82 06:52, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

 * "The huggins (sic) situation will get her fired". Yet, she is still here and just received a raise as "a reward and a recognition for oustanding performance" (Buck Niehoff, Board of Trustees Vice Chairman, quoted in the Cincinnati Enquirer, September 26, 2007).  So, I guess you're way off on that one.  Besides, do you think she fired Huggins without first consulting the Board of Trustees (who decide when and if she gets fired)?   Dave, Cincinnati

The positive content is more than appropriate. The mission of the President is to protect the integrity of the University, which she has done very well. The fact that UC is winning fewer basketball games is not important in the grand scheme. Bob Huggins' firing was consistent with goal of restoring the integrity of the University of Cincinnati. His offenses went well beyond a DUI conviction. He was cited by the NCAA for lack of institutional control. Many of his players were well below the academic enrollment standards and the basketball program had a particularly poor graduation rate. While many of his players were young men of outstanding character, others compiled criminal records. The integrity of the University as an academic institution is far more important than its winning percentage. Ultimately, there are 2 camps: 1) Bearcat fans who just want to win basketball games at any cost. Many of these fans simply live in Cincinnati and are not affiliated with UC. 2) Alumni and professors (I am both) who certainly don't mind winning but only if the University retains its academic integrity, honor and credibility in the process. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.137.24.112 (talk) 22:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

The President has other goals too besides "integrity" such as budget management, in-which she has failed at on so many occasions. Not being a person that believes that opinion should be represented on wiki only fact. The "Fact" of the matter is the general student population has a rather low opinion of her and the duties she supposedly has preformed on our behalf. With lavish expenditures to the campus sprawl, to the idea of making UC and its' student body "globally" dry, to state of the university address given earlier this year on subjective plans to annex parts of Burnet Woods, to effectively "Clean it up and lower the impact it has on local crime." The woods is closer to the gas light district >.>. One has to ask if she really has a brain in that gaudily dressed head of hers. Do i need to even mention the building of UP Apartments, and the dismantling of local business on Calhoun Street, for what? A grass field because the development went so far over budget that they couldn't afford to finish the project >.>. Or the fact that the storefronts under UP remain vacant, or report low earnings. Or how about the demolition of one of the 3 sisters even though UC was reporting record enrollment. Yes it was an out of date building in need of renovation but seriously WTF. There is a reason why UC has one of the highest tuitions of any public universities and it isn't because of the education provided. "UC stands for Under Construction."- a popular jest by the student body. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.221.0.207 (talk) 20:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

No, the "fact" is that the "UC stands for Under Construction" joke has been around at least since I was a student at UC in 1986, likely before you were even born (from your discussion above, I assume that you're a current undergrad, forgive me if I'm incorrect). So what does it have to do with Nancy Zimpher? Most of the renovations and changes to the campus were approved long before Zimpher arrived (e.g., work on the new CARE building on the East Campus began in 1994, ante-Zimpher, yet it was only just dedicated earlier this year) so, again, what does this have to do with her? To understand whether UC has improved or declined under Zimpher's leadership, one must compare the current status of UC with the status of the institution before she arrived, taking into consideration processes that were already underway before she arrived (i.e. most of the rebuilding and new investments). It's doubtful that you were here 20 or even 10 years ago. If you were, you would know that, despite any problems or incompleted projects, not only has the academic picture improved at UC but also its ambience as a college campus. Moreover, having been here at UC for most of the last 23 years, I can say that crime in adjacent neighborhoods directed at UC students and staff is spinning ridiculously out of control. This has a substantial financial and academic impact b/c if things continue at this rate, good students and professors will be afraid to come here (cf. Wayne State Univ in Detroit). Something surely must be done. Burnet Woods isn't any closer to the gaslight than to UC, in fact, it's right across the street from UC so give me a break. If annexing Burnet Woods or any of the adjoining neighborhoods is seen as a way of stemming the increasing incidence of violent crime then so be it. I'm sure this idea was launched in consultation with the UC public safety dept, which is very good at what it does. As far as UC having one of the highest tuition rates of all public institutions (an exaggeration), UC is nevertheless setting records for enrollment with virtually no slots left unfilled. So based on the supply and demand model, it seems the tuition rates are just right or can even be increased. As far as stores reporting low earnings go, all stores these days are reporting low earnings. Is the bad economy her fault too? So, the only "fact" you listed that resonates at all with someone who has been familar with UC for more that 5 years is the current budget deficit. However, most Universities are reporting budget deficits nationally; she didn't establish the current rebuilding plan, President Steger did; and with time, the deficit,and debt, will be vacated. This country was built on credit so why shouldn't a University? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.137.24.134 (talk) 13:38, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

WBLI

WBLI (106.1 FM) is a commercial radio station owned by Cox Radio and licensed to Patchogue, New York. It airs a top 40 (CHR) radio format. The station mainly serves Suffolk County, New York on Long Island. Its studios and offices are located on Sunrise Highway (NY 27) in West Babylon, New York.

WBLI is a Class B FM station with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 49,000 watts, the highest powered station on Long Island. To protect two adjacent channel stations from interference, WQXR-FM in Newark, New Jersey and WHCN Hartford, Connecticut (both on 105.9 FM), WBLI uses a directional antenna. The station's transmitter is located in Farmingville, New York.

Early years
The station signed on the air on December 13, 1957, as WPAC-FM, the FM counterpart to WPAC. The two stations were owned by the Patchogue Broadcasting Company. Because WPAC was a daytimer, WPAC-FM simulcast its programming in the daytime and continued it after WPAC signed off the air at sunset.

At first, it was only powered at 7,800 watts on a 115-foot tower, only heard in and around Western Suffolk County. It would take several decades before the station expanded its coverage area.

Contemporary hits
In January 1971, the station was purchased by Beck-Ross Communications, owner of WGLI in Babylon, New York. The station's call sign was changed to WBLI, and switched to a contemporary hits format as FM 106 WBLI. After Beck-Ross took ownership, the station initially broadcast from a trailer located behind the WPAC building in Medford, New York. In March 1971, WBLI moved to new studios at 31 West Main Street in Patchogue. WBLI's DJ staff has included George Taylor Morris and Alan "Al Nouveau" Bandiero.

On September 27, 1985, WBLI's transmission tower was toppled by Hurricane Gloria.

Shift to Hot AC
By August 1991, with the CHR format on the decline across the country, WBLI evolved into more of a hot adult contemporary format. Steve Harper and news director Ken Rhodes, hosted the morning show. The station often ran special weekend programming, such as the "Almost Made It But Didn't Weekend" and "The Ladies of the 80s Weekend." Musically, the station was slightly hotter than New York City's WPLJ and WMXV.

In March 1994, Beck-Ross Communications was acquired by Liberty Broadcasting, the owners of two other Long Island stations, WGBB and WBAB-FM.

Cox ownership
Atlanta-based Cox Media acquired the station in 1998. When Cox Radio took over WBLI, it evolved into a more mainstream CHR with less dance product (though still more than most other CHR's) and a tighter playlist of hits.

In June 2019, Cox announced it would sell the majority interest in its radio stations to Apollo Global Management. The new broadcasting company will continue to use the Cox Media name.

Previous morning shows
Steve Harper (later with WKJY) had hosted "'BLI in the AM" for 25 years before being let go in the summer of 2006. Maria Garcia (now an anchor with WCBS New York City) was the co-host since 1998. The show was called "Steve and Maria in the Morning." Maria left in 2005. Dana DiDonato (later with KBZT in San Diego) joined Harper in January 2006. Harper's last show was on July 19, 2006. Dana then assumed hosting duties along with Randy Spears and Drew Appelbaum. Randy and Drew exited the station on December 16, 2010.

On January 10, 2011, the radio station introduced "The New BLI in the Morning," which featured Dana with new co-host Jeffrey Jameson (later with WNEW-FM in New York City) Shawn "Puffy The Producer" Novatt also returned. The show was syndicated to Cox sister station "Hot 100.9" WHTI in Richmond, Virginia, and renamed "Dana and Jeffrey in the Morning" on Monday, June 4, 2012. Syndication ended when WHTI was sold to another owner in June 2013.

Jeffrey Jameson announced he was leaving in December 2013. Jayson Prim (later with KBZT in San Diego) debuted on January 6, 2014.

On June 30, 2016, the station announced on its Facebook page that Dana and Jayson in the Morning had ended its run. It featured Dana DiDonato, Jayson Prim, John Mingione (John Online), Shawn "Puffy The Producer" Novatt, and Ted Lindner with news and traffic.

On July 11, 2016, Cooper Lawrence, formerly of WPLJ, and Anthony Michaels, took over mornings 5:30 - 9am on the station. The show had its last broadcast on September 14, 2018.

Controversy
On Wednesday, February 27, 2008, Randy of the "BLI in the Morning" show made a remark that offended a caller from Mastic, Long Island. He joked that she lived in a trailer park. After the station received complaints regarding the remarks, and after Randy's refusal to apologize, he was suspended by station management.

First officer (aviation)

In aviation, the first officer (FO), also called co-pilot, is a pilot in addition to the captain, who is the legal commander. In the event of incapacitation of the captain, the first officer will assume command of the aircraft.

Role
Control of the aircraft is normally shared equally between the first officer and the captain, with one pilot normally designated the "pilot flying" and the other the "pilot not flying", or "pilot monitoring", for each flight. Even when the first officer is the flying pilot, however, the captain remains ultimately responsible for the aircraft, its passengers, and the crew. In typical day-to-day operations, the essential job tasks remain fairly equal. Often the first officer will log time as pilot in command under supervision (PICUS), for the purpose of working towards an airline transport pilot licence.

Traditionally, the first officer sits on the right-hand side of a fixed-wing aircraft ("right seat") and the left-hand side of a helicopter (the reason for this difference is related to, in many cases, the pilot flying being unable to release the right hand from the cyclic control to operate the instruments, thus they sit on the right side and do that with the left hand).

On a long haul flight, there may be multiple captains and first officers on board, to act as relief crew. While the captain rests, the senior of first officers sits in the left-hand seat, as for example on Air France Flight 447.

Many airlines promote by seniority only within their own company. As a consequence, an airline first officer may be older and/or have more flight experience than a captain, by virtue of having experience from other airlines or the military.

Some airlines have the rank of "junior first officer", for pilots who are not yet fully qualified. Modern airliners require two pilots. When a junior first officer is undergoing training, a safety pilot will sit in the jump seat to monitor the junior first officer and the captain. A junior first officer is sometimes known as a second officer.

After a certain number of flight hours and experience, a first officer can be promoted to senior first officer. A senior first officer will typically have at least 1,500 hours flight experience. Some pilots prefer to remain a senior first officer than pursue an upgrade to captain.

Talk:United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti

Background info needed
This is a clearly biased statement with little (or no) substantiating evidence. The language is also clearly not objective, using words like "slaughter" and "assault" It reflects poorly on Wikipedia to have such an article present. I suggest it be removed immediately until it is revised or substantiated by better evidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.185.187 (talk) 20:21, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

The possible motivation for the UN troops to engage in a massacre needs to be addressed. I believe the UN troops have been attacked in the past. If they thought the perpetrators were in the area, that could explain their actions. The nationalities of UN troops involved should also be given, along with links to stories on past UN clashes in Haiti. StuRat 23:45, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Inconsistency
To me the term "massacre" is inconsistent with casualties in the 50 range in such a densely populated area, where I would expect thousands of people to live. Such a low proportion of dead and wounded implies that the UN did attempt to limit collateral damage in their search for enemies. The population of the area which was sealed off is definitely an important fact that should be included in the article. StuRat 23:45, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Bias
Much more material is given from the anti-UN point of view than in support of UN activities in Haiti. Links to articles discussing the level of violence prior to UN involvement in the war in Haiti would be relevant to defending the UN presence there. Also, statements about people being shot, without any info on whether they were hit by stray bullets or executed at point blank range, or even who shot them, is of limited value. No conclusions can be drawn from such statements. StuRat 23:45, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

I have added a dispute tag in refrence to this discussion. I will come back and clean up some of this pov. Daniel J. Leivick 22:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Can anybody find any reliable NPOV sources on the MINUSTAH raid? All the news I can find on it, even at this late date, is from either a pro-Lavalas or pro-MINUSTAH site, except the Doctors Without Borders release, which is very ambiguous. Thanks, Billy P 17:01, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Whatever the problems on both sides here, this article has a definite pro-coup/occupation slant. It is definitely in need of a NPOV -- which is quite possible in even a controversial article. I've seen it done, and well.

 * Pazouzou 18:58, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I completely agree that most of the article seems to be pro-MINUSTAH. That is why I tagged the Cite Soleil attack on here. The additional article is very, very good. I tried to be balanced myself, but I hope that it at least makes it clear that there is another side to this story. Billy P 21:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Having read Brazilian sources, I find evidence that the concerns about MINUSTAH do not seem one-sidded, many Brazilian news sources presenting the same attitude of this article. Perhaps the solution could be to add a specific section of the article to "controversial issues regarding the MINUSTAH" such as its possible role as pro-coup/occupation and tool of imperialism. This way, the body of the article is more "dry" but a concern often expressed in the Press still receives due attention. 11:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Viva Chile

Chilean imperialism??!! Yeah, right! I think my country shouldn´t be in the following part: "to give an impression of legitimacy to the imperialist agenda of France, Canada, Chile and the U.S"

I'm not absolutely positive this is right, but isn't Mission des nations unies pour la stabilisation en Haiti Creole, not French? My only evidence is that I know someone who was once a member and they said it was Creole.

 * United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) began in 2004 and is continuing. The accronym MINUSTAH is commonly used in current news reports.

Bias concerns
Are there still concerns about bias in this article? And, if so, how can they be addressed so the POV tag can be removed? Sincerely, Mattisse 18:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

There is an overall very positive spin to the MINUSTAH presence (Haitians would say occupation) in Haiti, yet there are many available sources and exposés that reveal that the UN has done more to increase insecurity, instability, voter fraud, and helped to keep a dictatorship (ruling by decree as of January 2015) in power (Martelly/Paul) a foreign/international/US backed-regime, which was documented as being put in place under orders by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

One pointed source of bias on this page (among many) of the pro-UN slant are photos. The link below is a photo showing the UN at its own mission (see their flag?), not helping Haitians during the earthquake, yet the caption says they are. This was typical of the actions they took after the earthquake. It is very telling of what the real agenda of the UN occupation in Haiti: hint, it is not the security and stability of the Haitian population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Stabilisation_Mission_in_Haiti#/media/File:MINUSTAH_peacekeepers_continue_to_work_to_find_survivors_after_an_earthquake_%2812_january_2010%29.jpg Aidawedo (talk) 21:17, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Brazilian and Chilean lead?
As far as I know, the lead was brazilian and Chile was only a contributor. And I don't even think Brazilis handling this no more since mission commander is from tunisia. Having this information in this same article, it should be updated and corrected.

Yes, you´re right. The lead is brazilian, and Chile is only contributing to the mission with limited personnel. I removed the citation. 201.22.161.211 (talk) 04:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

UN resolutions and reports
I wish I had time to boil down these UN reports and resolutions and make them fit into the article. I don't know how it's best done -- as a separate timeline of references, or with selected highlights. These docs are difficult to find, so do as you can with them. They go into a lot of details.Goatchurch 09:45, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

UN resolutions and introduction VERY out of date
The introduction says the force will continue till 2012 but it's now 2014 and it's still going. The UN resolutions section only goes until 2010. The whole section is disorganized. I propose that someone list every UN SC resolution about Haiti and explain them, including the resolutions that extended the mandate. The mandate was last extended by resolution 2119 to 15 October 2014, incidentally. The U.N. website should have a list of all the relevant resolutions. This is a good place to start: http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/minustah/facts.shtml

On a side-note I've read the article and I'm still not sure what MUNISTAH is doing in Haiti. It's clearly doing something, as the SC resolutions all say it's vital to security in Haiti. This is a criticism of this Wikipedia page: it's very confusing. Must be one of the worst I've ever read.

Removed warning box about out-of-date info
The article seems to be mostly up-to-date now, as much as an article about a complex ongoing situation can be. The one really out-of-date section is the one about UN reports and resolutions, which I'd say is the least important or informative part of the article, and in any case keeping up with all the reports that the UN writes about itself would be a near-impossible task.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikipedians for encyclopedic merit/offensive material rating system

It appears very difficult to draw the line between academic study of pornography without appearing to advocate propaganda for the industry. The articles should remain as neutral as possible, especially on a medium where the average individual or company can add propaganda at will to the articles, especially via related links sections.

Since the growth of Wikipedia popularity recently, we see more and more complaints by various users who find that the content of many articles promote agendas rather than provide academic information only, or that the articles are of an offensive nature, which must be avoided.

If wikipedia has to be considered a serious encyclopedia, its academic position should remain clear and obvious. This is not an easy task.

The idea about adding pornographic pictures, for instance, might or might not be a good idea at current time; but it would definitely be acceptable if there was a proper rating system with defaults set at the highest censor level.

Since this is a world wide project, which is accessible from anywhere on the planet, by people of varying backgrounds and countries, it is imperative that a proper system be worked on. Saying that rating all type of content which is known to be controversial or morally offending to some is an incentive to restrict liberty is false, considering that any type of material could be documented properly and consequently rated. It becomes up to the user to decide which content is appropriate for viewing. Restricting the possible censor categories to an already in use system for the video industry in a particular country would seem inappropriate, unless the audience was expected to only consist of people of that same region, and that only that particular type of content was available. One cannot advertize and preach a certain view of the world expressed in a particular country to the world, and this is even true among several generations of the same people of the same background. Thus, a censor system would need to properly be implemented and to allow to block many type of offending content.

The following is only a suggestion (Request For Comments), of things to consider. An international commity could enhance and or rework the system, and define the appropriate censor levels for each category. This also implies that every article would need to be rated in every chosen area for which restrictions are possible. Although partially off-topic on this article, it is recommended for people who find such a proposal reasonable to possibly move this into its own article and link it as appropriate, contact mediawiki developers as required, etc.

Obviously, for each category the default would be to censor at the highest level. To avoid the need for users to register in order to modify their preferences, a permanent HTTP cookie could also be used and stored on the client-side to remember the user settings without clobbering the server's storage area.

This means that articles, as well as every linked object such as media content should independently be rated in each category.

The required software technology to achieve such a system is trivial to write, there is nothing challenging about it. Remains to see if wikipedia aims to reach, and keep, a world wide audience, and to eventually adapt itself to this growing public environment to cope against being banned by certain groups.

Another aspect would be weither to keep all settings at the topmost censor level depending on certain types of User-Agent, i.e. it might be desirable to allow search engines to index content which would normally be censored by other HTTP clients for which no settings were saved yet.

 * Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors. -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:20, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

 * "If wikipedia has to be considered a serious encyclopedia, its academic position should remain clear and obvious." is a fallacy. Wikipedia is already considered a serious encyclopedia. See for instance Wikipedia as an academic source and Press coverage. Note that the Brittanica doesn't add age-requirement-tags to its pages either. Radiant_ >|< 08:49, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * Ah, comeon. Britannica doesn't have pictures of men sucking their own organs either...they don't need a disclaimer. Wikipedia is not considered a citable reference base by the vast majority of universities...doesn't that bother you...it sure bugs the hell out of me.--MONGO 09:11, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * It's not rare that I get laughed at when citing a link to a Wikipedia article which I believe holds relevant information for a topic at hand. Its academic objectivity reputation does not seem to properly be established yet to me either.  Contributing from time to time to various computer technical articles myself, I'm convinced that this doesn't have to do with the lack of excellent information we can find on Wikipedia, however. --66.11.179.30 07:44, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * As long as the content is user-editable, WP will not reach universal reference status. It doesn't matter that the majority of articles are well-researched and accurate, there will always remain a fraction that won't. C'est la vie. --193.166.11.251 09:38, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

But Brittanica does have an editorial policy I quote- "Every site included in Britannica has been examined by a Britannica.com editor or contributor on the basis of certain editorial criteria.We do not include in Britannica explicitly pornographic or violent sites, although some of the sites do address controversial or mature themes and include adult language." http://corporate.britannica.com/mature.html

I reckon that there should be a criteria for what is completely unacceptable. Eg. pedophilic pictures, incitement to violence etc etc. For the rest of the more borderline entries, Informed Consent would be a good principle to follow. Iffy material should be provided as a link only, with a description of the material, and dialogue box asking for confirmation that the user wants to proceed. whaddya think? :D AlwaysNever 11:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
