Cleaning Up
I think this needs a discussion started. So, what can we do to clean this article up?

 * It could definitly use a better synopsis of the story, and character discriptions. I haven't seen Idolo in a long while though.  Also, the Zone of the Enders pages need a template for sure.--FDIS 04:46, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

I just modified it a little to tie in some relevant links and remove some repeated sentences. I agree with FDIS that a template of some sort is needed.--n00b 05:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Needs referencing here and there. --Squilibob 09:56, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Kithara

Untitled
As mentioned in the guitar article, kithara doesn't come from guitar, hence the edit.

Number of strings
The article should state how many strings it has. Badagnani (talk) 05:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

References and spelling
So wikipedia decides to go against the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, and all other major art museums in its spelling of Kithara? Of course, we eventually get to this article - but I'm guessing the typical user types Kithara first. There are no phonetic rules for Wikipedia spelling, that I know of - it's true that "Cynic" starts with the same Greek letter - but it was pronounced hard K. Kinokos. Kithara. Maybe the page would get more citations if it were easier to find.Levalley (talk) 00:50, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Whoever wrote definitively that Kithara and Guitar are unrelated terms doesn't know their linguistics. I'm going to put this page, therefore, on the anthropology watchlist, hoping to attract an Indo-Europeanist or an etymologist - or an archaeologist. I have the citations myself, somewhere, but whoever insisted that kithara and guitar are not related needed a citation. IOW, an expert in anthropological linguistics should either edit - or someone should find citations. If I come across them, I'll edit the article.Levalley (talk) 00:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Two-Stringed Lyre?
This article makes reference to a two-stringed lyre. This is not mentioned in the Lyre article. Kortoso (talk) 22:40, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Move dispute

 * This article started out as kithara (25 January 2005)
 * It was moved by The Man in Question on 8 November 2008 with the edit history comment of
 * It was moved back with a cut and past move by Spettro9 on 11 September 2011
 * This cut and past move was not noticed by an administrator until today. I have now fixed the cut and past move (which are depreciated because they destroy edit history which is needed for copyright reasons) by merging the two articles under the article title Cithara. If any more moves are to be made they should only be made using the WP:RM process as there is clearly not a consensus on what name to use. I personally have no opinion on this issue, and have only placed it under its current title to revert the cut and past move. -- PBS (talk) 00:25, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Hebrew?
Why is this in the category "Ancient Hebrew Musical Instruments"? The article talks entirely about Greece and Greek uses, and doesn't even mention the word "Hebrew", much less indicate any Hebraic use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ancient_Hebrew_musical_instruments [unsigned]

It's possible that the Hebrews had as similarly named stringed instrument. eg: the Indians had the sitar116.90.140.41 (talk) 22:36, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Not a Kithara
The picture "Muse tuning two kitharai" is of a phorminx, not a kithara. Note the rounded bottom, body-arm joint, and other details. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorminx. -- David R. Watson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:C4CE:AC29:6CE8:C193:7509:CC54 (talk) 03:45, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * David, that appears to be a kithara. There isn't enough detail to see the bottom, but it's probably not a phorminx. Did you not notice that it has seven strings? While a phorminx can technically have seven strings, this would lend itself toward an identification with the former. The original description of the photograph labels them lyres, which seems incorrect as well, though that's ultimately irrelevant. There are variations in the design of kitharai, as can be seen in the other pictures, including those with rounded upper bodies. I'd err on the side of what's labeled, as opposed to indulging in original research. If you can find some supporting evidence that those aren't kitharai, then it can certainly be removed. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 03:53, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Is it called a cithara or kithara?
The title of the article and the text within the article are not consistent. Either the article should be moved to "Kithara" or the use of "kithara" in the article should be replaced with "cithara". Does anybody with more understanding of this topic have an opinion? Desertambition (talk) 17:47, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Request for comment about "cithara" vs. "kithara"
What latinization should be primarily used for the ancient Greek seven-stringed professional version of the lyre:

 * A: cithara

 * B: kithara

There is no real argument that I can see but the article appears to switch between the two at random and I have no idea what should be used but we should choose one for consistency. The last post about this difference was made over nine years ago by. Posting the relevant text below:

This article started out as kithara (25 January 2005) It was moved by The Man in Question on 8 November 2008 with the edit history comment of moved Kithara to Cithara over redirect: According to OED, AHD, Webster, and Encarta, "cithara" is the most accepted It was moved back with a cut and past move by Spettro9 on 11 September 2011 This cut and past move was not noticed by an administrator until today. I have now fixed the cut and past move (which are depreciated because they destroy edit history which is needed for copyright reasons) by merging the two articles under the article title Cithara. If any more moves are to be made they should only be made using the WP:RM process as there is clearly not a consensus on what name to use. I personally have no opinion on this issue, and have only placed it under its current title to revert the cut and past move. Desertambition (talk) 18:13, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Taking a look at the Google N-gram, I would say that modern usage is pretty even in this. Per WP:TITLECHANGES the status quo article name should stay., Desertambition for getting page histories merged. VanIsaac, MPLLcont WpWS 20:53, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You should thank PBS for that lol. Also, we should determine what version to use throughout the article, not just in the title. The usage in the article is pretty random. Unless you believe we should just use the article title throughout the article, which makes sense. Pretty sure it really doesn't matter. Thanks for looking into the usage. Desertambition (talk) 22:19, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

 * CommentSo if Cithara is the most accepted name under COMMONNAME the article should be named that. While kithara should be mentioned as the Latinized version, for consistency and to avoid confusion the title should be used.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 19:58, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I've almost always seen it as kithara, but that's just dispositive of what I read, I guess. PS: This kind of question is not what WP:RFC is for; it's what WP:RM is for.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  12:11, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Once the article title is decided upon that name ought to be used throughout the article, with mention of the alternative in the first sentence (see "Spell a name consistently in the title and the text of an article" in the WP:MOS). User:SMcCandlish is correct: Rfc is in the wrong process for this discussion, it should be under WP:RM as I stipulated in my admin comment above. Therefore I am converting this into an RM. User:Desertambition, if you object to this conversion then please revert and explain why in a bullet point below this comment. PBS (talk) 10:40, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Making an WP:RM doesn't really make sense when I am not taking a stance on what name to use and clear consensus does not exist. Rfc does seem like the correct process for this. If we should just use the current article title throughout the article that makes sense. However, when you decided to keep the article here, you did not make sure there was consistent spelling and said "there is clearly not a consensus on what name to use". I see no reason to make a move request and an rfc allows the issue to be resolved.
 * TL;DR: There is no reason to make a move request when I am not saying the page should be moved. This is just to figure out what spelling is preferred. Desertambition (talk) 16:11, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Choosing the preferred spelling for the article's topic is precisely what RMs are for. Obviously, the one chosen for the title will also be the one used throughout the text. – Uanfala (talk) 16:36, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It seems like this rfc/rm, whatever you want to call it, should just be closed. No one has taken a stance. We'll just use the current title of the article. Desertambition (talk) 16:44, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Requested move 29 November 2022

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved per consensus below. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 17:34, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Cithara → Kithara – This move is necessary because the vast majority of scholarly sources all use the Greek spelling of this instrument. I further note that there are many factual errors in this article, as the word kithara had different meanings across time as the round-based western lyre extant during the time of Homer (who was the first to use the words kithara and kitharis in surviving literature) was later replaced by a different construct of instrument with a flat base in the Hellenistic period that was also referred to as a Kithara. Scholars today divide the kithara into separate groups, the round-based "cylinder kithara" and the flat-based "concert kithara". In some cases the word kithara was also used to encompass both the kithara and the phorminx; and there has been some inter-changeability of the terms in literature and antiquity depending on the period of the writer. There is a highly detailed article which sorts through all the various uses of the term across history/scholarship in There is also further content, placing the kithara in relation the history of the lyre family in  Other scholarly works using kithara include, ,. I am willing to completely re-write the article with these sources providing we move the article to the correct title. I also note, that while the 1911 version of Encyclopedia Britannica used cithara, the current version of the encyclopedia uses kithara; which demonstrates a move in the scholarly literature away from the Romanized spelling. 4meter4 (talk) 20:33, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

— Relisting. User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 02:00, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no strong feelings about the spelling (and to tell the embarrassing truth I thought at first glance we were talking about Poulenc's L'embarquement pour Cythère) but as the Oxford English Dictionary is clear that "cithara" is correct in English usage, I'd be inclined to stay with that. The OED's prefatory comment: "Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin cithara; Greek κιθάρα" seems to me to leave the matter open, but if we're putting Latin up against Greek I'd say if it ain't broke, don't fix it − Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere (I think that's right). There is a mention in Grove of "cithara", and ditto the Oxford Companion to Music. But I by no means press the point and if the Greek consonant is preferred I shall not protest.  Tim riley  talk   21:48, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @ I linked Grove above which titles their entry by Martha Maas "Kithara". So does the Oxford Dictionary of Music. 4meter4 (talk) 22:26, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * As I say, I have no strong views, but with a Wikipedian hat on I just note that we adopt some eccentric spellings such as Rachmaninoff rather than the usual Rachmaninov, in other works of reference. Personally, I'd stick to the OED's spelling of Cithara, but I'm not going to complain if we don't.  Tim riley  talk   23:33, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Support. I don't object to the name change, as long as cithara is under other names in the infobox. I recognize 3 of the 4 scholars you mention above,  and their use of one name over the other gives that name weight. I look forward to your rewrite. Jacqke (talk) 10:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The article is written in English, not ancient Greek; respelling Greek words that have traditionally used Latin orthography in English—practically all of them—is trendy, but there is no scholarly basis for it; it's a matter of personal preference, and nothing more.  The fact that the nominator's willingness to "correct" all of the "mistakes" in the article appears to be conditioned on the proposed move suggests that this is more about nationalism than scholarship.  P Aculeius (talk) 11:50, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That's absolutely ridiculous. I am not Greek by ethnicity or national origin and have a long standing editing history on wikipedia across many articles. My objection is purely based on the spelling used almost universally in published encyclopedias and other major reference works like Grove. I just find it incredibly annoying that our encyclopedia uses a strange spelling not used in most RS; particularly when much of scholarship in Grove deals with differences in Greek and its attachment to different iterations of the instrument (ie. Kithara v.s. Kitharis v.s. psilokitharistikē) which would be difficult to write on with a Romanized spelling (I'm not sure how I would even do that without SYNTH coming into play as there are no Romanized spellings of these versions of the instrument in the RS).4meter4 (talk) 17:00, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Most Ancient Greek words used in English come to us through Latin, in part because we inherited some of them from Roman sources, and in part because the Greek alphabet is not directly equivalent to the Roman alphabet that we use in English. The trend in recent decades has been to treat this as if it were some form of colonialism that needs to be corrected by retranscribing Greek words more literally, as though none of the standard conventions for rendering Greek words in English existed.  This ngram indicates that "cithara" is the form that has historically been used in most published English works, and despite increasing use of "kithara", it remains so.  You cannot describe the use of "kithara" as "almost universal" without excluding the majority of recent publications, as well as the overwhelming majority of English-language works published before 1976.  If variations of the word do not appear using standard English conventions for rendering Ancient Greek, then feel free to use whatever forms you can find for them—there is nothing in English-language scholarship that requires all variations of a subject to be spelled consistently according to their etymology—but in the case of this article's topic there is a well-established English form.  P Aculeius (talk) 16:10, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * What recent publications? All of the recent encyclopedias, both general and specialized, all use the greek spelling Kithara in the title. I've linked some of them above. We can certainly go with title practices that were abandoned nearly 50 years ago, but that seems a rather antiquated approach not based in current scholarship. I would assume that wikipedia would want to emulate the titling practices used by other standard reference works in the English language like Encyclopædia Britannica or widely recognized music encyclopedias like The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. 4meter4 (talk) 17:31, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * So in order to claim "almost universal" use, you have to restrict your sources to certain encyclopedias, disregarding all other—and all older—materials. The ngram shows that "cithara" remains as common or more commonly used in English today—looking back through time only tells us that the majority of sources likely to be found in English use over the last two centuries used "cithara" to an even greater extent.  Your argument is essentially one of recentism, not of correctness; certain sources prefer a different orthography than the traditional one, but this tells us nothing about the reasons, and they could just as easily turn around and do it the other way tomorrow, because one is not more "correct" than the other.  Per Wikipedia article titling policy, we generally prefer the common names of things; articles are not moved merely because another name has some claim of "officialness" or is trending within a particular academic discipline.  That's why we have "Turkey" instead of "Türkiye" and "Clytemnestra" rather than "Klytaimnestra".  P Aculeius (talk) 18:40, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Those are WP:OTHERSTUFF rationales. I'm not claiming any sort of need for a uniform change that would impact other articles. I'm only looking at the way current reference in English are titling their articles on this individual topic. Per WP:TITLE "Generally, article titles are based on what the subject is called in reliable sources." While granted cithara is used in some English language sources (particularly older ones), it is not the spelling used in the majority of the best English language publications on this topic as pointed out by Aza24 below and myself above. I prefer to model article titling after the best sources in the English language per our policies.4meter4 (talk) 21:06, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * So, not the common name, but the name that occurs in the most recent sources that I personally consider authoritative, and disregarding all other usage, especially when it disagrees with me. Sorry, but there are many, many "reliable" sources—and there is nothing fundamentally "unreliable" about older scholarship about Ancient Greek music.  This is nothing more than a question of personal preference in any source—and a popularity contest between traditional English orthography and hypercorrectness—an artificial and inauthentic respelling intended to redress an imaginary injury.  P Aculeius (talk) 00:08, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * At this point, I am done interacting with you. Your tone is uncivil, and I am not seeing any way of productively engaging with you here.4meter4 (talk) 04:41, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Slight support? – Really on the edge with this one. In my experience, the four main publications on Ancient Greek music are currently West 1992, Anderson 1994, Mathiesen 1999 and Hagel 2009. All three but Hagel use the "Kithara" spelling (though it's safe to say that Hagel's is the least known of the four), and it's use in Grove is rather convincing as well.  Aza24  (talk)   19:02, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Support, per nomination and discussion (the nominator seems to have proven their case) . Randy Kryn (talk) 12:15, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Louis Raymond (tennis)

Louis Bosman Raymond (28 June 1895 – 30 January 1962) was a male tennis player from South Africa.

Career
At the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium, he defeated Ichiya Kumagai in the finals to win the gold medal.

He won the South African Championships six times; four consecutive titles from 1921 through 1924 as well as victories in 1930 and 1931.

In 1924 he made it to the semifinal of the singles event at the Wimbledon Championships, losing to eventual champion Jean Borotra in straight sets. In 1927 he reached the quarterfinal of the French Championship in which he was defeated by Bill Tilden.

Between 1919 and 1931, Raymond played in ten ties for the South African Davis Cup team and has a record of ten wins and eleven losses.

In Tilden's book, The Art of Lawn Tennis, Raymond is described as a "hard working and deserving player" and someone who "attains success by industry rather than natural talent".

Talk:Carvin Corporation

Delete
I am going to request this article be deleted unless proof is placed within the article establishing notability. WP:N states that "a topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself." The only reason I am placing this here rather than requesting deletion is that I have read such materials about Carvin myself; but I cannot cite every article myself. CyberAnth 20:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The numerous notable musicians playing Carvin instruments lend evidence as to notability. They all have published works, namely their recordings. As you say, sources should be added. Here's a quote that does not seem to me suitable for placement within the article: "Representative of the highest level of the luthier's art, and offering great playability and great tones, the CT6M is proof positive that Carvin does indeed deserve a place alongside the world's most respected guitar builders". -- Guitar Player (magazine) Dec. 2004 Does this help? Zzorse 23:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The cite from the mag is exactly the sort of material that MUST be added to this article to establish notability. It needs several more such things now. NOTE: <info from Carvin is NOT QUALIFIED as additions to prove notability per WP:N and WP:V.  Also, you can include info about numerous notable musicians playing Carvin instruments IF that has been reported in reliable sources. Going to the Carvin site, culling names, and then placing album names violates WP:OR. CyberAnth 01:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree the citation is of the type, I'm just not sure at the moment how to incorporate it into the text. I agree using Carvin as the source is not the correct approach, but also feel confident that the information can be verified. (I just looked and I have a couple Enanitos Verdes CDs where Carvin is specifically mentioned.) Hopefully other contributors will step forward and help this page out. Zzorse 02:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, it may require some re-working of the text to reflect the available allowable and reliable sources. I have personal recollection of extensive coverage of Carvin guitars and amps in Guitar Mag, and Musician Mag, starting many years back. So I know very quality, meaty, and detailed sources are out there. But overall, here is the exact policy for articles of this type: Notability_(companies_and_corporations).

Does the Carvin site have scanned images of or pointers to coverage in such mags? They used to. Also, you can post stuff here and people can help work out how to work it in.

I MIGHT have time to help. I did work in the cite you have above. Maybe how I did that that can serve as a bit of pattern on how to go about clearly establishing notability to the average reader. We musicians do not need anyone to establish to us notability for Carvin. But we write for the average reader, not the specialist. Assume your reader has never heard of Carvin and is asking, "Okay, so why the heck should I care???" See what I mean?

Also, once notability is established via multiple external sources, WP:V probably comes into play and you can use info from the Carvin site.

CyberAnth 10:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I have a few links that may prove useful http://www.vintageguitar.com/brands/details.asp?ID=209, http://www.proaudioreview.com/musician_reviews/carvinC780.shtml, http://www.guitarplayer.com/story.asp?storycode=16259 |

There are also some Wikipedia pages referencing Carvin, for example Vinnie Vincent or Alex Lifeson. Gamiar 20:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Carvin is a well-established brand, not just a small-time guitar shop. They have a product catalog with national circulation, and have an article for their 60th anniversary in the February 2007 issue of Guitar World magazine. Surely recognition in two of the most widely circulated American guitar magazines (Guitar Player and Guitar World) establishes Carvin as a notable brand. Endorsement from world famous musicians such as Steve Vai must also count for something.

Flypanam 19:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

To add to my comment before, it states on Steve Vai's own website that he uses Ibanez Guitars coupled with his signature Carvin Legacy amplifiers. Also, there is proof in the form of concert reviews that, on top of his many stage decorations, Frank Zappa used Carvin amplifiers. Bassist Greta Brinkman, touring bassist for Moby, plays and endorses Carvin basses. Flypanam 23:16, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Advertisement
This article seems to be more of an advertisement for Carver, and although it seems to have a more or less NPOV, it sure reads like some sort of marketing brochure.

Split needed
Carvin Corporation split into two corporate entities in 2015. The original Carvin Corporation continues to operate with the Pro Audio and Amplification portions of the company. A new corporate entity, Kiesel Guitars, was launched by Mark Kiesel, with Jeff Kiesel as VP. The guitar portion of company, Carvin Guitars, was split off and put under Kiesel Guitars.

Carvin Corporation should NOT be redirected to Kiesel Guitars, because it still exists and is the older and longer established of the two. -- ferret (talk) 16:31, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo   18:12, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The added claims require references which address both the claims themselves (i.e., the moving of the warehouse) as well as the reopening of the company, which hasn't been referenced and thus places the article in a conflicted state (it's listed as both closed and open, in that the prose makes claims about present activity while the infobox and lead section indicate no activity.) The way to address this is to provide references supporting these new claims.
 * When the COI editor has selected a new username to edit with, they are encouraged to return to this talk page to propose edit requests along with references supporting their proposals.

Question Regarding the claims just recently added regarding the moving of the wherehouse, would you happen to know if this should pertain to the Kiesel part of the company you described in an earlier post or if it applies to Carvin Corp.? I wasn't sure and you seem to know more about this company than I do. Thank for any input you can offer.  Spintendo   18:21, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This would apply to the original Carvin company, not Kiesel. The problem is we have a secondary reliable source (Guitarworld) that covered their closing and liquidation, but no subsequent coverage of reopening or continued business by secondary sources. I believe the original Facebook announcement covered by Guitarworld can be taken as "We closed the factory", rather than "We closed the entire company". It does look like their webpage has seen a complete revamp, and the About Us does claim to essentially be the same company, with same copyrights and bylines as before. Is a primary source enough to cover the relaunch though? I say remove the defunct statuses/categories, denote the relaunch and new factory, but remove new product announcements. -- ferret (talk) 22:04, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I did most of the cleanup for now. Obviously we don't want a running tally of primary sourced product announcements, but I think the relaunched website needs to be here, and possibly the warehouse move. -- ferret (talk) 00:16, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your help on this, it's much appreciated!  Spintendo   14:27, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Bunny Breckinridge

Merge detritus
Removed from article "John 'Bunny' Breckinridge" during merge:
 * John "Bunny" Breckinridge (1902-1996) was a famously gay, transexual entertainer, eccentric millionaire and Hollywood b-movie actor, probably best known for his work with Ed Wood, Jr. and resulting appearance in Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959). Breckinridge worked as an entertainer in Paris before moving to Los Angeles in the 1950s.

This conflicts with the current Bunny Breckinridge article in three ways: Was he born in 1902 or 1903? Was he in fact a millionaire? Did he spend time living in Paris or New Jersey, or both? --Quuxplusone 17:45, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * These questions, and more, are answered in my extensive rewrite. He was born in 1903, if his obituary is correct. He lived in many places over the years, including Paris, England, Hollywood, San Francisco, New Jersey, etc. Whether he was a millionaire or not is debatable, but he *was* wealthy enough to afford homes on each coast, and apparently worked no real jobs but theater throughout his life. wikipediatrix 05:12, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

The Inquisitor?!
"He continued his theatrical career throughout the 1950s, but in small local productions, such as playing the role of "The Inquisitor" in Richard Bailey's production of Beckett's Waiting for Godot in Carmel."

Waiting for Godot is one of the most famous plays of the 20th century, and it doesn't feature an inquisitor. Either, this is wrong, or it requires further explanation. Juryen 12:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Winifred McNair

Winifred McNair (née Winifred Margaret Slocock, 9 August 1877 – 28 March 1954) was a tennis player from Great Britain. She is best remembered for her women's doubles (partnering Kathleen McKane) gold medal at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. Between 1906 and 1925 she competed in 15 editions of the Wimbledon Championships. Her best Wimbledon result came in 1913 when she reached the final of the all-comers' event and won the doubles title, partnering Dora Boothby.

She married Roderick McNair on 22 April 1908.

Singles (1 runner-up)
1This was actually the all-comers final as Ethel Thomson Larcombe did not defend her 1912 Wimbledon title, which resulted in the winner of the all-comers final winning the challenge round and, thus, Wimbledon in 1913 by walkover.

Bundz

Bundz (bundz) or budz (будз), also known as bunc in the Podhale dialect, is a cheese traditionally produced in the Carpathian region of Poland and Ukraine.

The production process of bundz in the first phase looks the same as the production of oscypek. The milk poured into the "putara" is hagged, which means that the protein is truncated by enzymes contained in rennet, extracted from the stomachs of young calves. The resulting cheese curd is then brewed for a few minutes at a temperature of about 70 °C. The cheese is strained on the canvas in the form of large lumps. A mild cheese is obtained.

The drink żętyca is also produced from the whey created in bundz production.

Nicolae Dobrin

Nicolae Dobrin (26 August 1947 – 26 October 2007) was a Romanian footballer who played as an attacking midfielder and a manager.

Nicknamed Gâscanul ("The Gander") or Prințul din Trivale ("The Prince of Trivale"), he is considered one of Romania's greatest footballers. Renowned for his dribbling ability, Dobrin received the Romanian Footballer of the Year award on three occasions, in 1966, 1967, and 1971, and has a stadium in native Pitești named after him.

Club career
Nicolae Dobrin was born on 26 August 1947 in Pitești, Argeș County, nicknamed Gâscanul ("The Gander") or Prințul din Trivale ("The Prince of Trivale"), he is considered one of Romania's greatest footballers. He started playing football as a child with his friends on a field which they nicknamed "Maracana" that was close to the Argeș river and one day in 1959 some players from Dinamo Pitești came to play with them, Dobrin's team winning with 12–2 with him scoring 6 goals. After the game, Leonte Ianovschi, a coach at the youth center of Dinamo Pitești told him to come at the club's training sessions. Dobrin played for the first time in a Divizia A match when he was still 14 years old, on 1 July 1962, coach Ștefan Vasile using him in a match between Știința Cluj and Dinamo Pitești which ended with a 5–1 loss, thus holding the record of the youngest debutant in the competition. He played for Argeș Pitești most of his career, his first performance was when the club reached the 1965 Cupa României final in which coach Virgil Mărdărescu used him as a starter in the eventual 2–1 loss in front of Știința Cluj, afterwards winning under the guidance of coach Florin Halagian two Divizia A titles, in the one that was won in the 1971–72 season he was the team's top-goalscorer with 15 goals scored in 23 matches. At the winning of the 1978–79 title, Dobrin contributed with 9 goals scored in 22 matches, being decisive in the final game of the season against Dinamo București in which he scored the final goal of the 4–3 victory, his performance being appreciated by journalist Ioan Chirilă who gave him a 10 in the Sportul newspaper. He played 25 games and scored 8 goals in European competitions (including 12 games and 2 goals in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup), in his first season played in European competitions he scored one goal in six games in the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, as Dinamo Pitești eliminated Sevilla and Toulouse in the first two rounds, being defeated in the third round with 1–0 on aggregate by Dinamo Zagreb who eventually won the competition. In the winter of 1966, because the French people were impressed that they defeated Toulouse, Dinamo Pitești was invited to participate at the friendly tournament organized in Marseille called Tele-magazine International Cup, where two emissaries of Inter Milan made an offer of $250.000 to Dinamo Pitești in order to transfer Dobrin at Helenio Herrera's team, but Dinamo's officials did not want to negotiate, being fearful of possible consequences they would face by Romania's communist regime. In the 1972–73 European Cup, Argeș Pitești won a home game with 2–1 against Real Madrid in which Dobrin opened the score but lost the second leg with 3–1, however this was enough for Real Madrid's president Santiago Bernabéu to want him at the club, making a potential record breaking offer of $2 million and a nocturne installation for the 1 Mai stadium from Pitești. Because of the communist regime in Romania in that period, Bernabéu had to hold talks with dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu himself, but could not persuade him, because Dobrin was regarded as a "national treasure" and such values could not be "estranged", especially not playing in a team from the country of Francisco Franco's fascist dictatorship. It is said that this was the biggest regret of Dobrin's life, although he did eventually end up playing in Francisco Gento's testimonial, in the famous "blanco" shirt of Real Madrid. On this occasion Santiago Bernabéu made a last unsuccessful attempt to keep the Romanian player in Madrid. In the 1978–79 UEFA Cup, Argeș Pitești defeated in the home game Valencia with 2–1, Dobrin opening the score from a indirect free kick and according to his former teammate Andrei Speriatu, after the game, Mario Kempes who just won the World Cup with Argentina, being the top-goalscorer and best player of the tournament went to Dobrin and told him:"You are a great player!", however Argeș Pitești lost in the second leg with 5–2.

In 1981 Dobrin went to play for FCM Târgoviște in Divizia B, scoring 17 goals in his first season, helping the team gain promotion to the Divizia A, where in the following season he played 13 games and scored 5 goals. In 1982 he returned to Argeș Pitești as a player-manager, making his last appearance as a player on 14 June 1983 in a 2–0 victory against Bihor Oradea. In the 1985–86 Divizia B season, Dobrin came out of retirement, being a player-manager at CS Botoșani. During his whole career, Dobrin played 409 Divizia A matches in which he scored 111 goals and he was the Romanian Footballer of the Year in 1966, 1967 and 1971. In 2003, the Local Council of Pitești decided to rename Argeș Pitești's stadium into Stadionul Nicolae Dobrin in his honor.

International career
Nicolae Dobrin played 47 games and scored 6 goals for Romania, making his debut on 1 June 1966 under coach Ilie Oană in a friendly which ended with a 1–0 loss against West Germany played on Südweststadion from Ludwigshafen. He made a good impression in the game showing his dribbling abilities in front of West Germany's experimented midfielder Horst Szymaniak and after the game, the former World Cup winner Fritz Walter went into Romania's locker room telling Dobrin:"Boy, if you're good and will drink a lot of milk, you're going to be a great player!", the press from West Germany also praised Dobrin, the newspaper 5 Uhr Blatt wrote the next day:"Game coordinator Dobrin has impressed with his demonstrated high class" and Die Rheinpfalz wrote:"Of special class is Dobrin, who for his age proves an impressive maturity and a brilliant technique". He played four games and scored two goals against Italy and Switzerland at the Euro 1968 qualifiers and played three games in which he scored one goal in a 1–0 victory against Portugal at the successful 1970 World Cup qualifiers. He was selected by coach Angelo Niculescu to be part of Romania's 1970 World Cup squad but did not play in any match, the reasons Niculescu didn't use him are unclear but the fact that he did not play is considered one of the most controversial moments in the history of the Romanian football. He played six matches and scored two goals at the 1972 Euro qualifiers, managing to reach the quarter-finals where Romania was defeated by Hungary, who advanced to the final tournament. He went to play three games in which he scored one goal at the 1974 World Cup qualifiers, three appearances at the Euro 1976 qualifiers, one appearance at the Euro 1980 qualifiers, two at the 1977–80 Balkan Cup, making his last appearance for the national team on 2 April 1980 in a friendly which ended 2–2 against East Germany.

International goals

 * Scores and results list Romania's goal tally first, score column indicates score after each Dobrin goal.

Managerial career
Nicolae Dobrin started his managerial career in the 1982–83 Divizia A season when he was a player-manager at Argeș Pitești. He coached Argeș Pitești on several occasions, managing the club in a total of 138 Divizia A matches. His only coaching experience except the ones at Argeș Pitești was in the 1985–86 Divizia B season when he was a player-manager at CS Botoșani. Dobrin also worked as a technical director for a short while at ARO Muscelul Câmpulung alongside head coach Ion Oblemenco at the end of the 1994–95 Divizia C season, helping the team earn promotion to the second league after winning a promotion play-off against ICIM Brașov.

Death
Nicolae Dobrin started smoking when he was about 8–9 years old, this habit causing him lung cancer. He died on 26 October 2007 in the intensive care unit of the County Hospital in Pitești after multiple organ failure. On 29 October 2007, his funeral ceremony, held at St. George's Cathedral and at St. George's Military Cemetery, was attended by more than 5,000 people.

Lincoln's House Divided Speech

The House Divided Speech was an address given by senatorial candidate and future president of the United States Abraham Lincoln, on June 16, 1858, at what was then the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, after he had accepted the Illinois Republican Party's nomination as that state's US senator. The nomination of Lincoln was the final item of business at the convention, which then broke for dinner, meeting again at 8 pm. "The evening session was mainly devoted to speeches", but the only speaker was Lincoln, whose address closed the convention, save for resolutions of thanks to the city of Springfield and others. His address was immediately published in full by newspapers,  as a pamphlet, and in the published proceedings of the convention. It was the launching point of his unsuccessful campaign for the senatorial seat held by Stephen A. Douglas; the campaign would climax with the Lincoln–Douglas debates. When Lincoln collected and published his debates with Douglas as part of his 1860 presidential campaign, he prefixed them with relevant prior speeches. The "House Divided" speech opens the volume.

Lincoln's remarks in Springfield depict the danger of slavery-based disunion, and it rallied Republicans across the North. Along with the Gettysburg Address and his second inaugural address, the speech became one of the best-known of his career. It begins with the following words, which became the best-known passage of the speech:

""A house divided against itself, cannot stand."

I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.

I do not expect the Union to be dissolved – I do not expect the house to fall – but I do expect it will cease to be divided.

It will become all one thing or all the other.

Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become lawful in all the States, old as well as new – North as well as South."

Lincoln's goals were to differentiate himself from Douglas – the incumbent – and to voice a prophecy publicly. Douglas had long advocated popular sovereignty, under which the settlers in each new territory would decide their own status as a slave or free state; he had repeatedly asserted that the proper application of popular sovereignty would prevent slavery-induced conflict and would allow Northern and Southern states to resume their peaceful coexistence. Lincoln, however, responded that the Dred Scott ruling had closed the door on Douglas's preferred option, leaving the Union with only two remaining outcomes: the country would inevitably become either all slave or all free. Now that the North and the South had come to hold distinct opinions on the question of slavery, and now that the issue had come to permeate every other political question, the Union would soon no longer be able to function.

Quotes

 * "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved – I do not expect the house to fall – but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery, will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the states, old as well as new – North as well as South. Have we no tendency to the latter condition? Let any one who doubts, carefully contemplate that now almost complete legal combination – piece of machinery so to speak – compounded of the Nebraska doctrine, and the Dred Scott decision.
 * The Kansas-Nebraska Act opened all the national territory to slavery .... This ... had been provided for ... in the notable argument of "squatter sovereignty," otherwise called "sacred right of self government," which latter phrase, though expressive of the only rightful basis of any government, was so perverted in this attempted use of it as to amount to just this: That if any one man, choose to enslave another, no third man shall be allowed to object.
 * While the Nebraska Bill was passing through Congress, a law case, involving the question of a negro's freedom ... was passing through the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Missouri; and both Nebraska Bill and lawsuit were brought to a decision in the same month of May, 1854. The Negro's name was "Dred Scott" ....
 * [The points decided by the "Dred Scott" decision include] that whether the holding a negro in actual slavery in a free state, makes him free, as against the holder, the United States courts will not decide, but will leave to be decided by the courts of any slave state the negro may be forced into by the master. This point is made, not to be pressed immediately ... [that] the logical conclusion that what Dred Scott's master might lawfully do with Dred Scott, in the free state Illinois, every other master may lawfully do with any other one, or one thousand slaves, in Illinois, or in any other free state.
 * While the opinion of ... Chief Justice Taney, in the Dred Scott case ... expressly declare[s] that the Constitution of the United States neither permits congress nor a territorial legislature to exclude slavery from any United States territory, ... [Taney] omit[s] to declare whether or not the same constitution permits a state, or the people of a state, to exclude it. Possibly, this was a mere omission; but who can be quite sure ....

 * The nearest approach to the point of declaring the power of a state over slavery, is made by Judge Nelson. He approaches it more than once, using the precise idea, and almost the language too, of the Nebraska Act. On one occasion his exact language is, "except in cases where the power is restrained by the Constitution of the United States, the law of the State is supreme over the subject of slavery within its jurisdiction." In what cases the power of the states is so restrained by the U.S. Constitution, is left an open question, precisely as the same question, as to the restraint on the power of the territories was left open in the Nebraska Act. Put that and that together, and we have another nice little niche, which we may, ere long, see filled with another Supreme Court decision, declaring that the Constitution of the United States does not permit a state to exclude slavery from its limits. And this may especially be expected if the doctrine of "care not whether slavery be voted down or voted up" shall gain upon the public mind sufficiently to give promise that such a decision can be maintained when made.
 * Such a decision is all that slavery now lacks of being alike lawful in all the States. Welcome, or unwelcome, such decision is probably coming, and will soon be upon us, unless the power of the present political dynasty shall be met and overthrown. We shall lie down pleasantly dreaming that the people of Missouri are on the verge of making their State free, and we shall awake to the reality instead that the Supreme Court has made Illinois a slave state.

Prior mentions of "a house divided"
Early Christians:
 * The expression "a house divided against itself" appears three times in the Bible. In the Gospel of Mark 3:25, Jesus states, "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." That is in response to the scribes' claim that "by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils." In the Gospel of Matthew 12:25: "Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto him, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand" (King James Version). And in the Gospel of Luke 11:17: "Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall" (New International Version).
 * Saint Augustine, in his Confessions (Book 8, Chapter 8) describes his conversion experience as being "a house divided against itself."

It also appears in widely-read English writers:
 * Thomas Hobbes, in his 1651 Leviathan (Chapter 18), states that "a kingdom divided in itself cannot stand."
 * In Thomas Paine's 1776 Common Sense, he describes the composition of the English constitution "hath all the distinctions of a house divided against itself. ... "

In the United States:
 * In Federalist No. 4, John Jay wrote "when a people or family so divide, it never fails to be against themselves."
 * Elbridge Gerry used the phrase in 1810 to criticize the emerging First Party System.
 * During the War of 1812 a line appeared in a letter from Abigail Adams to Mercy Otis Warren: "... A house divided upon itself – and upon that foundation do our enemies build their hopes of subduing us."
 * Felix Walker, in his speech for Buncombe, on the Missouri Compromise, said, "And we have the word of truth for it, that a house divided against itself cannot stand."
 * The "house divided" phrase had been used by Lincoln himself in another context in 1843.
 * Famously, eight years before Lincoln's speech, during the Senate debate on the Compromise of 1850, Sam Houston had proclaimed: "A nation divided against itself cannot stand."

However and most relevantly, the expression was used repeatedly earlier in 1858 in discussions of the situation in Kansas, where slavery was the central issue.
 * It was used editorially in the Brooklyn Evening Star of January 8, the New York Daily Herald on January 12, and the Alton Weekly Telegraph of January 28.
 * It appeared, in quotation marks, in a letter to the editor published in The Liberator on April 23. Lincoln received The Liberator, as it was sent free to all prominent politicians outside the South, but it is not known if he read it.

Light of Saratoga

The Light of Saratoga is a legend located in the Big Thicket of Southeast Texas. This legend of a mysterious light is also known as the Ghost Road of Saratoga, the Saratoga Light, and Bragg Light by local residents. Located on a dirt road, it is a light that may appear and disappear at random during the dark of night without explanation.

Witness observations
There are different beliefs as far as what the ghostly light could be, such as swamp gas and similar natural occurrences. The most popular story surrounding this legend is that a railroad worker was decapitated in a railway accident, and the light is that of his lantern as his ghost searches endlessly for his head.

Two similar phenomena are the Paulding Light in Michigan's Upper Peninsula just north of Watersmeet and the Maco light in south-eastern North Carolina. Coincidentally, the same story of a headless railroad conductor also is offered as the explanation for these mysterious lights.

Geography
Located in Texas between Beaumont and Livingston, approximately 16 miles west of Kountze, Texas. The dirt road runs north–south starting at the south end at a bend on Farm-to-Market Road 787 that is 1.7 miles north of the intersection of FM 787-770, near Saratoga and ending at the north end at Farm-to-Market Road 1293 near the ghost town of Bragg Station. The cause of the light has not been established but one common explanation is that the light is the result of car lights from a nearby highway, however the light is usually seen when facing north and the highway can only be seen while facing south.

History
In 1902, Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway hacked a survey line from Bragg to Saratoga, bought right-of-way and opened the Big Thicket forest with a railroad, and the Saratoga train began its daily trips to Beaumont, carrying people, cattle, oil and logs. When the area's oil booms and virgin pine gave out, road crews pulled up the rails in 1934, the right-of-way was purchased by the county and the tram road became a county road.

User:Adso de Fimnu

Welcome
Hello, and welcome to my Wikipedia userpage.

Most of the time I just make little edits here and there. If I do make any major changes, it's probably an article about music or a translation from Spanish. If you're really that curious about me, you can always visit my webpage.

Interests

 * Classical music: my very favorite composers are J.S. Bach, Frédéric Chopin, Edvard Grieg, Maurice Ravel, and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
 * Jazz, especially Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington.
 * History, particularly Antiquity, Medieval times, the Renaissance, and Colonization of the Americas.
 * Language: I enjoy linguistics, though I don't claim to have any sort of expertise in that field. Conlangery also piques my curiosity.
 * Reading: my favorite authors are Jorge Luis Borges and Thomas Merton. Honorable mention goes to Eco, Orwell, Walker Percy, Wendell Berry, Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis.

Contributions
As C.S. Lewis once said, "perfect humility dispenses with modesty." Thus, here are the articles I started, and for which I take most of the credit (or blame):

Musical: All-Night Vigil, An Oxford Elegy, Dufay Collective, Ella at Duke's Place, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Flos Campi, Herzliebster Jesu, Jacques Berthier, Mass in G Minor (Vaughan Williams), Oboe Concerto (Vaughan Williams), Paul Bazelaire, Piano Trio (Ravel), Sonatina (Bartók) Miscellaneous: Itinerarium Burdigalense, Manman Dlo contre la fée Carabosse  Translations from Spanish: Avia River, Elena Quiroga, Emilio Arrieta, Maras, Peru, Ruperto Chapí, Tomás Bretón

To Do

 * Research and write badly-needed article on the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom.
 * Expand Paul Bazelaire article.

Víctor Samuel Rivera y Miguel Giusti
Querido Fimu.

Necesito la ayuda de alguien bilingüe para intervenir en una disputa en otro idioma, que se basa en aseveraciones calumniosas que me es difícil explicar en inglés contra un filósofo peruano, al parecer de parte de un adversario político o un rival académico resentido por una reseña de un libro suyo.

1. Lee esto: Nomination on behalf of User:Andreasmperu, who does not believe the subject meets WP:PROF, writing that:

The Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal (Lima) (where he teaches) is not considered even in the top 10 of the universities in Peru (you can see here it's at the 48th place), so I can't imagine what relevance has at a global level. The so-called publications aren't in scientific journals peer-rewiewed, but in student journals or other journals available to any person not necessarily academic. And he is not cited for anybody, he is not even well-known in the peruvian academic media. He had not received any award or recognition from any institution (less from a prestigious one). Worse, he hasn't earn any graduate degree in philosophy (not a master not a Ph.D.).

2. Lo hallas aquí, donde se hace un debate sobre la base de lo escrito por User:Andreasmperu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/V%C3%ADctor_Samuel_Rivera

No borrar. Campaña personal contra personaje que atenta contra las políticas de Living People. Sospecha de intervención de profesor Miguel Giusti. Debe saberse que la situación de la filosofía en Perú es muy distinta que en un país desarrollado. 1. En Lima (capital del Perú) sólo hay cuatro universidades que enseñan filosofía (no 48), de las cuales sólo dos son del Estado. La Universidad Villarreal es la segunda de las dos estatales y su facultad de filosofía sólo tiene 5 años de existencia. 2. La universidad no tiene peso global, pero de eso no se deduce que un profesor deba tener un estándar mínimo. Sólo en el portal Dialnet de la [Universidad de La Riojahttp://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/busquedadoc?db=1&t=V%C3%ADctor+Samuel+Rivera&td=todo] aparecen 16 ublicaciones internacionales, aunque en internet pueden ubicarse más de medio centenar (puede buscarse citas de estos textos en Google y aparecen 40). 3. Estas publicaciones no son de estudiantes, sino revistas indexadas y publicaciones colectivas serias. Puede cotejarse también la participación de este profesor en certámenes internacionales de diversa índole. 4. Pocos filósofos peruanos tienen tantas publicaciones para su año de nacimiento (1964). Puede comprobarse que no hay otros en el mismo nivel. Se trata pues de una campaña para afectar al personaje. Luego:el User:Andreasmperu ha demostrado especial interés en eliminar información de este profesor, a la vez que ha estimulado la del [profesor Miguel Giustihttp://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discusi%C3%B3n:Miguel_Giusti]. Resulta que Rivera ha impreso dos reseñas de un libro de Giusti [en México http://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=2941231] y [Lima http://www.revistasolar.org.pe/4/11_rivera.pdf] (cuyos libros nunca antes han sido reseñados por nadie) y User:Andreasmperu la borra del portal wiki. Esto evidencia parcialidad de User:Andreasmperu contra el profesor Rivera y en favor de Miguel Giusti, en clara promoción del segundo en desmedro del primero. No es difícil conjeturar que se trate del mismo Giusti. El mismo usuario ha eliminado durante el mes de junio varias entradas ligadas a Víctor Samuel Rivera, como Eduardo Hernando Nieto (famoso metapolítico peruano), Ricardo Vásquez Kunze (con quien escribió un libro), Fernán Altuve Frebres (pensador e historiador conservador peruano que ha sido parlamentario). El móvil parece político: Giusti es de izquierda, los otros personajes de derecha, lo que se prueba en la web. No se trata, pues, de un asunto académico, sino de un agravio personal.

Te agradezco de antemano tu ayuda. --190.41.153.89 (talk) 20:14, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Criteria for articles
Juiceboyy, I saw your questions on Pages_for_deletion/Halfhide. I can understand that it is probably very confusing for a new user, but the process is certainly not personal. Wikipedia is intended to be an encyclopedia and, as such, there are notability requirements for inclusion. The tests differ based upon the subject matter of the article. See Votes for deletion/Precedents to get a small picture of what is considered acceptable and not acceptable. With respect to bands and musicians, for example, there has been significant and extended discussions on trying to standardize the criteria. See WP:MUSIC. In an attempt to keep Wikipedia relevant, more than 100 articles are nominated for deletion every single day. To see how the process works, you should visit Votes_for_deletion/Log/2005_August_30. I hope you decide to stay around. If you would like to see how it really works, try editing a few existing articles on things you may know about such as prominent landmarks in and around Amsterdam or emerging musical groups who have one or two releases on recognized labels under their belts already. I hope this helps to clarify the process. -- DS1953 19:49, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

Zero-sum problem

In number theory, zero-sum problems are certain kinds of combinatorial problems about the structure of a finite abelian group. Concretely, given a finite abelian group G and a positive integer n, one asks for the smallest value of k such that every sequence of elements of G of size k contains n terms that sum to 0.

The classic result in this area is the 1961 theorem of Paul Erdős, Abraham Ginzburg, and Abraham Ziv. They proved that for the group $$\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$$ of integers modulo n,

$$k = 2n - 1.$$

Explicitly this says that any multiset of 2n − 1 integers has a subset of size n the sum of whose elements is a multiple of n, but that the same is not true of multisets of size 2n − 2. (Indeed, the lower bound is easy to see: the multiset containing n − 1 copies of 0 and n − 1 copies of 1 contains no n-subset summing to a multiple of n.) This result is known as the Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv theorem after its discoverers. It may also be deduced from the Cauchy–Davenport theorem.

More general results than this theorem exist, such as Olson's theorem, Kemnitz's conjecture (proved by Christian Reiher in 2003 ), and the weighted EGZ theorem (proved by David J. Grynkiewicz in 2005 ).

Avenue A (Manhattan)

Avenue A is a north–south avenue located in Manhattan, New York City, east of First Avenue and west of Avenue B. It runs from Houston Street to 14th Street, where it continues into a loop road in Stuyvesant Town, connecting to Avenue B. Below Houston Street, Avenue A continues as Essex Street.

It is considered to be the western border of Alphabet City in the East Village. It is also the western border of Tompkins Square Park.

Sections
Under the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 that established the Manhattan street grid, the avenues would begin with First Avenue on the east side and run through Twelfth Avenue in the west. East of First Avenue the plan provided four additional lettered avenues running from Avenue A eastward to Avenue D wherever they could be fitted.

While First Avenue was the easternmost avenue in most of Manhattan, several discontinuous sections were designated as Avenue A north of present-day Alphabet City.

Asser Levy Place
As late as 1943, Avenue A went as far north as 25th Street. In 1947, with the construction of Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, a short section of Avenue A from 23rd to 25th Streets in Kips Bay, Manhattan, was cut off from the existing section below 14th Street. The two-block section was renamed in 1954 after Asser Levy, one of the first Jewish citizens of New York City, and a strong and influential advocate for civil liberties. The eastern side of Asser Levy Place contains the Asser Levy Recreation Center, which includes the Asser Levy Public Baths, built in 1905-08.

Asser Levy Place closed in October 2013 to become part of the Recreation Center The park now contains concrete Ping-Pong tables, a track and field, exercise equipment, and painted children's games such as hopscotch. It is being built by New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to replace the western end of the Robert Moses Playground at 42nd Street and FDR Drive being sold to the United Nations, in preparation for a future East River Greenway phase on the FDR Drive, underneath the United Nations headquarters between East 38th and 60th Streets.

Beekman Place
Beekman Place, located at the headquarters of the United Nations, runs as a short street between Mitchell Place/49th Street and 51st Street. Though not part of the original Avenue A in the 1811 plan, it is named after the Beekman family (members of whom include Wilhelmus Beekman, whose namesakes also include downtown's Beekman Street and William Street), who were influential in New York City's development.

Sutton Place and York Avenue
Sutton Place was also formerly designated as Avenue A; in its original length it ran between East 53rd and 92nd Streets. Effingham B. Sutton constructed a group of brownstones in 1875 between 57th and 58th Streets, and is said to have lent the street his name, though the earliest source found by The New York Times dates back to 1883. The New York City Board of Aldermen approved a petition to change the name from "Avenue A" to "Sutton Place", covering the blocks between 57th and 60th Streets.

In 1928, a one-block section of Sutton Place north of East 59th Street, and all of Avenue A north of that point, was renamed York Avenue in honor of World War One US Army Sergeant Alvin York, who won the Medal of Honor for an attack in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive on October 8, 1918. This section is the only former section of Avenue A to still use the Avenue A address system (as it only has four-digit building numbers).

Pleasant Avenue
The northernmost section of Avenue A, stretching between East 114th and 120th Streets in East Harlem, was renamed Pleasant Avenue in 1879. The addresses on Pleasant Avenue are not continuous with those on Avenue A (which would be in the 2000-series if they were continuous).

Transportation
The M14A SBS bus travels Avenue A from 11 Street to Houston Street (which becomes Essex Street), then east along Grand Street to the FDR Drive on the East River coastline.

Overhauled
I overhauled article to apply more mathematically rigorous definitions and descriptions so the entry could stand with the nominal, ordinal, and cardinal number entries, the class of which it belongs.

Most of the old entry was moved to the applications sub-heading and somewhat shortened. A great many examples are given in the article: Numbering schemes and a link was provided in this entry over to that one.DV8 17:55, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * There's no need for a dump from RFC 1982. I've just referenced it, and linked to it. RFC 1982 just defines arithmetic for one very specific use for serial numbers, and is not a general rule. -- The Anome 03:42, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Currency
'because in some countries each banknote has a unique serial number.' Interesting - I would have thought this applied to every currency, are there any examples where this is not the case? I guess coins don't have them, so its plausible. 130.194.13.101 04:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Limenius

Limenius (Λιμήνιος; fl. 2nd century BC) was an Athenian musician and the creator of the Second Delphic Hymn in 128 BC. He is the earliest known composer in recorded history for a surviving piece of music, or one of the two earliest, or the second-earliest, depending first on whether one accepts the proposition of Bélis that the composer of the First Delphic Hymn is named Athenaeus and, second, whether that hymn was composed in the same year as the Second Hymn, or ten years earlier. Limenius was a performer on the kithara and, as a professional musician performing in the Pythaïs (the liturgical embassy to the cult centre of Pythian Apollo at Delphi), he was required to belong to one of the guilds of the Artists of Dionysus.

I-drive

i-drive was a file hosting service that operated from 1998 to 2002.

The name derived from the words "Internet drive".

History
Based in San Francisco, the company was founded in 1998 with seed investors and launched its first product, an online file storage service in August 1999. The idea originated from an early company Jeff Bonforte co-founded in 1996 called ShellServer.net, which provided 10 MB of space for IRC users. Bonforte compiled the founding team, which included Chris Lindland, Patrick Fenton, Tim Craycroft, Rich MacAlmon, John Reddig and Lou Perrelli (the last three were also the company's first angel investors). Originally presented as i-drive.com, the company acquired the domain idrive.com around October 1999. The initial product offered a limited amount of free file storage space, and later enhanced the offering with 'sideloading' – storing files such as MP3 files collected on the World Wide Web without the need for the user to download them to their individual computer. In January 2000, the company began offering unlimited storage space and an application called Filo.

In 2001 the company transitioned from offering the free storage service and transformed the underlying software architecture into a middleware storage mechanism and product, seeking to sell into various markets including the 3G marketplace, targeting companies such as DoCoMo and Earthlink. In January 2002 the company name was changed to Anuvio Technologies. i-drive's assets were acquired by the EMC Corporation in 2002. Certain assets (including the idrive.com domain name) were acquired by Pro Softnet Corp which also offered online storage services. At its height, i-drive hosted over 10 million registered users, employed 110 people, and held partnerships with MP3.com, ZDnet.com, and 40 major universities. The service was rated as a "Top 5 Web Application" by CNET in 2000 and one of the "3 Top Technologies to Watch" by Fortune Magazine in 2000. The company raised over US$30 million from venture capitalists such as Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Information Technology Ventures, Global Retail Partners, Hikari (Japan), Philips (Netherlands), EMC, and Partners Group (Switzerland).
