Clean Up
I've tagged this for clean up as it looks as though some text is publicity blurb (delicious...enhance any social occasion etc...), the last part only just makes sense. doktorb | words 17:42, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Removed shopping links
I removed the links to shopping websites where you can buy After Eight. Useless spam. Mouse Nightshirt 22:01, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

McFlurry fact
I'm not sure how one could ever present a reliable online source for this per the guidelines. I also think that you shouldn't be requesting facts for things which you couldn't seriously doubt. A google search will show you thousands of people talking about the After Eight McFlurry one christmas, including pictures. It would be unlikely that someone would do a news article on the item.--Crossmr 04:24, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

afterEight
I'm not really sure why there is a line in this article saying

For the band afterEight, click here. {no link there...} (Coming soon)

Should that be here, or be worded differently, or such?

nvr mind-- I changed it to make more sense.

Hmmmm
"After Eight" ..... efterrätt = dessert or a course at the end of a meal (Swedish). Just a thought, though of course totally unsourced. I wonder where these mints came from first .... Tobermory 09:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Across Europe and America
I don't know exactly where they are sold, but I bought them at the Taipei Airport (duty free shop). That's international zone, but I would still qualify it as Asia. Does anyone know if they are sold (significantly) elsewhere in the world? -- Filip  ( § ) 13:45, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

When is "recently"?
From the article: "Nestlé recently started adding butterfat to After Eights". Words like "currently", "recently" etc are a bad choice for Wikipedia; it's much better to use specific dates, as they don't age. Could someone who knows please insert the year in which butterfat was introduced? 86.132.140.45 (talk) 00:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Made in Castleford? Not always...
I have a box of dark chocolate thin mints in front of me, clearly marked "Produced by Nestlé Deutschland AG, 60523 Frankfurt/M." Loganberry (Talk) 01:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

The Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy of Mr. Punch

The Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy of Mr. Punch or simply Mr. Punch is a graphic novel written by Neil Gaiman, illustrated and designed by Dave McKean. It was published in 1994.

Synopsis
The book, which takes place mostly in Portsmouth, follows the childhood memories of the narrator, illustrating various experiences in his life: fishing on the beach at dawn; his grandparents and how one grandfather went mad; a hunchback great-uncle; the betrayal of children by adults; fear of the unknown; an unwanted pregnancy, violence, possibly even murder.

The general story is paralleled with the traditional story of the Punch and Judy show, "The oldest, the wisest play". The narrator is first introduced to Mr. Punch when fishing with his grandfather, but encounters it, and a mysterious "professor" (Punch & Judy man), during various other activities. The story of Mr. Punch is that he kills his baby, then his wife Judy, and the police officer who comes to arrest him. He outwits a ghost, a crocodile, and a doctor, convinces the hangman to be hanged in his place, and, at the play's end, even defeats the devil himself.

Talk:Nova Scotia Liberal Party

Untitled
Perhaps WS Fielding's leadership of the party should be mentioned, especially in context of the Repeal Elevtions. See the Historical journal Acadiensis (Published by the University of New Brunswick) "WS Fielding and the Repeal Elections of 1886 and 1887 in Nova Scotia."

Party Alignment
I think we may need to reassess where we place the current NS Liberals. While they're definitely fiscal centrists, and while they're further to the right than I would personally like, I think the article's current description of "Center-Right" is incorrect. At most they're centrist, and more accurately they're fiscally Center and socially Center-Left. There are other articles for provincial political parties across the country that give both a Social and Economic placing. I think that would be a good idea for this party. It would be more accurate in my opinion. Also, the only source for the current "Center-Right" description is a broken link.

47.54.63.42 (talk) 05:25, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * You may very well be correct, but this is not something we can decide ourselves. We need a reliable source that cites their position. --Yamla (talk) 11:23, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Absolutely agreed. I welcome any corrections based on proper citation. 47.54.63.42 (talk) 05:44, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Founding
The party's founding date is listed as 1883 but its listed first leader took that position in 1840. It's mentioned that the party descended from the Anti-Confederation Party - what about the Liberal Party that existed prior to the Confederation debate in the colony of Nova Scotia? Articles that discuss the Liberal Party of that era, e.g. James Boyle Uniacke link here.

Apex Editor (talk) 03:49, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Name of party in article title
The Party's official name per their own bylaws is The Liberal Association of Nova Scotia, although they're registered with Elections NS to use the name "Nova Scotia Liberal Party" and usually use this in campaigns. While I've added the other name to the article intro, should the title reflect the party's legal name or the more commonly used one? PerplexedPanda (talk) 18:50, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala

Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala (c. 1535 – after 1616), also known as Huamán Poma or Waman Poma, was a Quechua nobleman known for chronicling and denouncing the ill treatment of the natives of the Andes by the Spanish Empire after their conquest of Peru. Today, Guaman Poma is noted for his illustrated chronicle, El primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno.

Biography
The son of a noble family of the indigenous (but non-Inca) Yarowilca dynasty of Guánuco in the north Peruvian cordillera, he was a direct descendant of the eminent indigenous conqueror and ruler Huaman-Chava-Ayauca Yarovilca-Huanuco. Guaman Poma was a fluent speaker of several Quechua and Aru dialects, and probably learned the Spanish language as a child or adolescent. He went on to become literate in the language, although he did not achieve a perfect grasp of Spanish grammar. He described himself as being "eighty years of age" in his 1615 manuscript, leading many to deduce that he was born in the year 1535, after the 1533 Spanish conquest of Peru. The figure eighty may have been a metaphor for old age, and many other references in his text indicate a possible birth date of 1550 or shortly thereafter.

The information known about Guaman Poma's life comes from a variety of written sources. Most likely, he was born in the Lucanas province or and spent most of his life in or near Huamanga, a central Peruvian district. It is believed that the first time he left his hometown was when he served as an interpreter on the church inspection tour of a Spanish priest named Cristóbal de Albornoz, who was attempting to eliminate idolatry in the small Quechua towns. In the late 1580s to early 1590s, he was an assistant to Friar Martín de Murúa, another Spanish cleric. In 1594 he was employed by the Spanish judge of Huamanga who was in charge of land titles. In late 1600, however, all of his property was confiscated and he was banished from Huamanga, an event that led to his travels throughout the country and most likely to the composition of his masterpiece.

The Huamán family was wealthy within the Inca Empire, both before and after the conquest. As used to be common, marriages among the ruling families took place in order for them to maintain political control. At the time, the Huamán (Waman in Quechua, or Guamán in Spanish) were a family of warriors and landowners in several regions of the Inca Empire. They venerated the wild bird (similar to a falcon) that only lives in the highland regions of Peru, above 4,000 meters above sea level.

Guaman Poma was related to Inca royalty through three family lines: Tarco Huaman Inca, son of Inca Mayta Capac, cousin of Cápac Yupanqui, and grandson of Lloque Yupanqui; Huaman Achachi, brother of Tupac Inca Yupanqui; and Inca Huaman Taysi, son of Inca Roca. In 1570, landowner Don Antonio Huaman Cucho, in the city of Huamanga, declared ownership of several cities for the descendants of the Huamán family as an Inca descendant.

During the occupation by the conquerors, the Huamán family, being very extensive, were fiercely prosecuted, as the Spaniards feared the overthrow of the colonial government, the impeachment of the Hispanic occupation, and indigenous land ownership claims. For this reason, most of their wealth in gold and ornaments was hidden and redistributed among their descendants. Most family members moved to different areas in Peru and Ecuador. The most prominent landowners were located in Pariamarca, Santiago de Huamán, Quito, and Huamanga.

There is a tradition that says that direct descendants from the line of the ruling Inca Huaman are protected and secretly maintained to be ready to take over the Peruvian Empire and re-impose the supremacy of order over chaos. There are tales among the Andeans that one day the "... Hawk will fly high, where the Sun surrenders ...". According to the mestizo writer Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, a waman is a type of hawk that can be found in the Andean region. See the Name section for more information.

Chronicle
A handful of sixteenth-century documents attest that Guaman Poma served in the 1560s to 1570s as a Quechua translator for Friar Cristóbal de Albornoz in his campaign to eradicate the messianic apostasy, known as Taki Unquy, from the Christian doctrine of local believers.

Guaman Poma appeared as a plaintiff in a series of lawsuits from the late 1590s, in which he attempted to recover land and political title in the Chupas valley that he believed to be his by family right. These lawsuits ultimately proved disastrous for him; not only did he lose the suits, but in 1600 he was stripped of all his property and forced into exile from the towns which he had once ruled as a noble.

His great work was the Primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno (The First New Chronicle and Good Government), a 1,189-page document written largely in Spanish, with sections in Quechua. His book is the longest sustained critique of Spanish colonial rule produced by an indigenous subject in the entire colonial period. Written between 1600 and 1615 and addressed to King Philip III of Spain, the corónica outlines the injustices of colonial rule and argues that the Spanish were foreign settlers in Peru. "It is our country," he said, "because God has given it to us." The king never received the document.

The corónica is remarkable in many ways. First, it combines writing and fine line drawings (398 pages of the book consist of Guaman Poma's full-page drawings). The work also includes his "Mapa Mundi de Reino de las Indias" (World Map of the Kingdom of the Indians), a cartographic representation of the Inca Empire drawn in the mappa mundi style favored by medieval European mapmakers, which placed Cusco, the ancient Inca capital, at the center of the world. Second, the manuscript expresses the view of a provincial noble on the conquest, whereas most other existing expressions of indigenous views from the colonial era come from the nobility of Cusco. Third, the author frequently uses Quechua words and phrases in this primarily Spanish work, which provided material for scholars to learn more about Quechua.

Guaman Poma proposed a new direction for the governance of Peru: a "good government" that would draw from Inca social and economic structures, European technology, and Christian theology, adapted to the practical needs of the Andean peoples. He wrote that indigenous governments treated their subjects far better than the Spaniards and pleaded with King Phillip to appoint Indians to positions of authority. Although he rejected Spanish rule, he did not reject the Spanish king. During that time, monarchs were typically seen as descendants of God and being strongly Catholic, he held the Spanish monarch in high regard. In his writing, he not only proposed changes to society, but also sought to bring perceived injustices to the attention of the king, who Guaman Poma saw as the representative of God, and believed would not have allowed the injustices to occur had he known of them.

The original manuscript of the corónica has been kept in the Danish Royal Library since at least the early 1660s, though it only came into public view in 1908, when it was discovered by the German scholar Richard Pietschmann. After many aborted facsimile projects, a heavily retouched facsimile edition was produced in Paris in 1936, by Paul Rivet. In 1980, a critical transcription of the book, based on an autopsy of the manuscript rather than on the 1936 facsimile, was published by John Murra and Rolena Adorno (with contributions by Jorge Urioste) as Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, Nueva crónica y buen gobierno. A high-quality digital facsimile of the original manuscript was published online in 2001 by the Danish Royal Library, with Rolena Adorno as scholarly editor.

Relationship with Martín de Murúa
Twentieth-century scholars had often speculated that there was some relationship between Guaman Poma's corónica and Fray Martín de Murúa's Historia general del Piru (General History of Peru, 1616), assuming that Guaman Poma served as an informant or coauthor to Murúa. In 1967, Condarco Morales compared the texts and concluded that he followed Murúa's work. A direct relationship between him and Murúa was confirmed in 2007–2008 by a project at the Getty Research Institute. The project's principal scholars included Juan de Ossio, Thomas Cummins, and Barbara Anderson, with collaboration by Rolena Adorno and Ivan Boserup. After comparing the two existing manuscripts of Historia general del Piru (one owned by the Getty and the other by a private collector in Ireland), these scholars proved that Murúa's chronicle includes illustrations by Guaman Poma. They concluded that he was one of a team of scribes and artists who worked for Murúa. While Murúa's project began sometime in the 1580s, Guaman Poma became involved only as an illustrator and only shortly before 1600. Still, his contribution to Historia general del Piru is very significant. These findings were the basis of an exhibition and symposium at the Getty Center in October 2008. Guaman Poma notably attacks Murúa in his corónica, including depicting the friar's striking and kicking an indigenous woman seated at a loom. The depiction is entitled "The Mercenary friar Murúa abuses his parishioners and takes justice into his own hands." According to Adorno, "... when he became an author, after 1600, [Guaman Poma] was highly critical of a work by Murúa that he had recently illustrated. Guaman Poma was prompted to write his own account against what he understood to be Murúa's limited perspective, which he had encountered in the original manuscript of Historia general del Piru."

Guaman Poma wrote about Andean history back to the era predating the Incas. He also elaborated a long and highly critical survey of colonial society, unique among other manuscripts of the era. His artistic range, displayed in his nearly 400 drawings, was based on his experience gained while working with Murúa, but it also developed in new directions. He revealed a strong polemical and satirical bent that he directed against colonial abuses. "Although the evidence suggests that they worked independently after 1600, the efforts of Murúa and Guaman Poma can never be separated, and their talents, individually and together, produced three distinctive testimonies to the interaction between missionary author and indigenous artist-cum-author in early colonial Peru."

Name
Guaman means 'falcon' in Quechua, and represented a "supreme existence" in the Inca society of his time. Someone with the "designation" of a falcon had the highest esteem among the Inca and preceding cultures. Poma meant 'puma' in the Quechua dialect. In modern Quechuan orthography, it would be spelled Waman Puma. Other variants include Waman Poma, Huamán Poma, and Guamán Poma (the latter two with a Spanish accent; the stress in Quechua is on the first syllable). In his own writing, he signed with his Quechua name between his Spanish baptismal name, Felipe (or Phelipe as he spelled it) and the family name of a Spanish conquistador connected to his family history, Luis Ávalos de Ayala. Guaman Poma writes about the symbolism of all his names in his book. He seemed to consider the form of his name to be a statement that his Quechua identity remained at his core, despite being surrounded by Spanish names.

Pete and Geoff

The duo of Pete and Geoff were DJs Pete Mitchell and Geoff Lloyd, who from January 2003 to December 2005 hosted the breakfast show on Virgin Radio. In the early 1980s, Mitchell was an aspiring musician who moved into management and production. In 1988 he joined Manchester's Piccadilly Radio and went on to be an enthusiastic champion of indie bands of the "Madchester" scene in the early nineties. Around this time, Craig Cash introduced him to Geoff Lloyd. Lloyd was an aspiring comedy writer and performer, and a fellow radio presenter. In 1996 they were asked by Key 103 to co-present its afternoon show.

The duo rapidly established a cult following with their witty and slightly risque banter, and in 1998 won a Sony Radio Academy Award for their show. They were subsequently recruited by Virgin Radio and again rapidly built up a significant audience for its Drivetime Show. By 2003 they were the most popular DJs on the station, and were moved to the Breakfast Show in order to increase the audience. This they did very successfully, sticking to their well-established formula of slightly risque banter about contemporary news and culture, with Mitchell tending to play the "straight man" to the more outrageous Lloyd. Lloyd occasionally courted controversy with some of his remarks, most notoriously when he expressed willingness to eat the limbs of a dead baby to ease poverty. A complaint against the station was upheld, and Lloyd was reprimanded for his comments. Nevertheless, the audience for the show remained strong, despite (or possibly because of) Lloyd's willingness to stray to the edge of acceptability with his remarks.

On 28 November 2005 the duo announced that they were splitting up and leaving the Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio. Their final show together took place on 16 December. Geoff Lloyd remained at Virgin Radio, hosting the Late Show, whilst Pete Mitchell left the station to pursue other projects. Christian O'Connell, from the Breakfast Show on Xfm London, replaced the pair as host of the Breakfast Show.

Pete Mitchell died on 12 March 2020.

Seif Sharif Hamad

Seif Sharif Hamad (22 October 1943 – 17 February 2021) was a Tanzanian politician who served as the First Vice President of Zanzibar and as Party Chairman of ACT Wazalendo.

He was the secretary-general of the opposition Civic United Front (CUF) party and First Vice President of Zanzibar until 18 March 2019 when he announced his resignation from CUF and joined Alliance for Change and Transparency. He was given an ACT Wazalendo card number One, and he also won the party nomination for the 2020 presidential candidate for Zanzibar.

Early life and career

1950–1957: Hamad attended Primary School at Uondwe and Wete Boys School, in Pemba. He started his secondary education from 1958–1961, at King George VI Memorial Secondary School, in Zanzibar Town, Zanzibar. Hamad goes on to attend High school education at the same school from 1962–1963.

After completing high school in December 1963, for the next nine years (1964–1972), he was prevented from pursuing University Education because he was required to fill in one of the vacancies in the civil service caused by the mass departure of British officials in 1964, after being asked to do so by the new Zanzibar Revolutionary Government. He was posted to teach in Secondary Schools, before joining University of Dar es Salaam in 1972–1975, and graduated with B.A. (Honors) in Political Science, Public Administration and International Relations.

On 31 January 2021, it was announced that he had contracted COVID-19 and was in hospital in Zanzibar.

Political career
Hamad served as a Member of the Zanzibar Revolutionary Council and Zanzibar Minister of Education (1977–1980), founding member of the Zanzibar House of Representatives (1980–1989) and Member of Tanzanian Parliament (1977), Member of the Central Committee and National Executive Committee of Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) - Tanzania's Ruling Party (1977–1987), Head of the Economic and Planning Department of the CCM (1982–1987) and Chief Minister of Zanzibar from 6 February 1984 to 22 January 1988. Soon after his dismissal, he was expelled from the sole legal party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), after disputes with party officials. From May 1989 - November, 1991 he was imprisoned as a prisoner of conscience.

When Tanzania adopted a multiparty political system in 1992, Hamad along with other former CCM members founded the Civic United Front party. The first multiparty elections took place in 1995 and Hamad was the CUF's candidate for the Presidency of Zanzibar. He was narrowly defeated by CCM candidate Salmin Amour, winning 49.76% of the vote to Amour's 50.24%. Observers noted serious irregularities in the poll and the CUF rejected the result as rigged.

Hamad was again defeated in the 2000 elections by CCM candidate Amani Abeid Karume. He received 32.96% of the vote to Karume's 67.04%. Observers condemned the poll citing widespread irregularities and instances of intimidation of opposition supporters by the security forces. The Commonwealth of Nations team described the election as a 'shambles'.

On 26 and 27 January 2001, more than forty five CUF supporters were gunned down by Tanzanian Security Forces in peaceful demonstration called to protest the imposition of Zanzibar Government against the will of the people. This led to the ruling CCM party and opposition CUF to have a dialogue that resulted in signing MUAFAKA II, a peace accord designed to ensure electoral and constitutional reforms. Most of the planned reforms were not implemented by the government, including, crucially, an agreed credible voters' register prior to the elections of October 2005.

In the 30 October 2005 election, according to official results, Hamad was again defeated by Amani Abeid Karume, winning 46.07% of the vote to Karume's 53.18%. CUF disputed the election and refused to recognise Karume as President.

The union elections in December 2005 followed a similar pattern on Zanzibar with CUF carrying Pemba but not Unguja.

On 31 October 2010, Tanzanians voted to elect President of Tanzania and Zanzibar and Hamad ran for election, alongside Dr Ali Mohamed Shein of the ruling party CCM who was declared the winner on Monday, 1 November 2010, scooping 179,809 votes against 175,338 votes of Hamad.

Dr Shein's victory is equal to 50.1 per cent of all the 364,924 votes cast while Hamad garnered 49.1 per cent. In October 2015 Hamad won the election by 25,000 votes against Incumbent Ali Mohamed Shein but the election commission canceled the election results. Hamad became the first ever Vice President of Zanzibar when Dr. Shein was sworn in as president of Zanzibar. In March 2016, Hamad refused to participate in the rerun of the election which brought Dr Shein to power again illegally.

On 18 March 2019 Hamad resigned from CUF and joined another political Party ACT Wazalendo.

On 8 December 2020, Maalim Seif was sworn in as the First Vice President of Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar for a five year term.

Political victimisation
In January 1988, he was unceremoniously dropped from the Revolutionary Council and removed as the Chief Minister of Zanzibar and in May 1988 he was expelled from the ruling CCM with six colleagues and automatically lost his parliamentary seat in the Zanzibar House of Representatives. In May 1989, he was arrested and taken to court to face (politically motivated) trumped up charges of allegedly being found with government secret documents. From 1989–1991 he was remanded in the Zanzibar Central Prison. In April 2000, he was arrested and charged with trumped up charges of allegedly attacking members of the police and robbing them with a gun (the charges were finally dropped by the Zanzibar Magistrate’s Court in November 2003).

Death
Hamad was hospitalised on 29 January 2021, after his party said he, his wife, and aides had tested positive for COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tanzania. Tanzania's government had not reported any official cases since April 2020, despite reports of deaths being attributed to "acute pneumonia." Hamad died at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam on 17 February 2021. He was 77 years old. After his death, Tanzanian President John Magufuli declared three days of mourning.

Meniscal cyst

Meniscal cyst is a well-defined cystic lesion located along the peripheral margin of the meniscus, a part of the knee, nearly always associated with horizontal meniscal tears.

Signs and symptoms
Pain and swelling or focal mass at the level of the joint. The pain may be related to a meniscal tear or distension of the knee capsule or both. The mass varies in consistency from soft/fluctuant to hard. Size is variable, and meniscal cysts are known to change in size with knee flexion/extension.

Cause
Various etiologies have been proposed, including trauma, hemorrhage, chronic infection, and mucoid degeneration. The most widely accepted theory describes meniscal cysts resulting from extrusion of synovial fluid through a peripherally extended horizontal meniscal tear, accumulating outside the joint capsule. They arise more commonly from the lateral joint margin, and occur most often in 20- to 40-year-old males.

Diagnosis
Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice for diagnosis of meniscal cysts. In their most subtle form, meniscal cysts present as focal areas of high signal intensity within a swollen meniscus. It is not uncommon for radiologists to miss this type of meniscal cyst because the signal intensity is not quite as great as fluid on T2 weighted sequences.2 When this fluid is extruded into the adjacent soft tissues, the swollen meniscus subsequently assumes a more normal shape, and the extruded fluid demonstrates a higher T2 signal typical of parameniscal cysts.

Treatment
Treatment of meniscal cysts consists of a combination of cyst decompression (intraarticular decompression versus open cystectomy) and arthroscopic repair of any meniscal abnormalities. Success rates are significantly higher when both the cyst and meniscal tear are treated compared to treating only one disease process.

Simple Gateway Control Protocol

The Simple Gateway Control Protocol (SGCP) is a communications protocol used within a voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system. It has been superseded by the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), another implementation of the media gateway control protocol architecture.

The Simple Gateway Control Protocol was published in several Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft versions between May and July 1998 by Mauricio Arango and Christian Huitema, at Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore). The protocol architecture decomposes a telecommunications gateway located at the boundary between the public switched telephone network and an Internet Protocol (IP) network, such as the Internet, into a media gateway controller (MGC) on the IP network, providing call and device control, and multiple media gateways (MGs) that handle the actual media conversion to the analog or digital circuits of the PSTN, or simply connect residential telephones. Other implementations of the architecture refer to the controller as a softswitch. Communication between multiple media gateway controllers is handled by other protocols, such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

Shortly after its publication, SGCP was merged with the Internet Protocol Device Control (IPDC) proposal sponsored by Level3 Communications in the Fall of 1998. This led to the definition of the Media Gateway Control Protocol, jointly submitted to the IETF by the authors of SGCP and IPDC in October 1998. MGCP was used as a conceptual basis with additions from the Media Gateway Device Protocol by Lucent resulting in the Megaco/H.248 protocol, which gained formal standards-level status at the IETF and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

Im adding this to "School Anime" as half the series happens in their school --Seth Turner 17:54, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

A Question
What was the exact conflict with GAINAX and whoever, which is why the series wasn't continued? Thanks. - ULTRAZORD
 * I just heard that is was a ratings thing, didn't do well enough for a second season. Dread Lord C y b e r S k u l l ✎☠ 06:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Interesting. During those self-conducted polls, it averaged about 4.3% viewing average, but I'm not sure what that means relative to the viewing population or whatever, or when it comes to success. I'll just keep adding info on the characters as I go. I must say, even though it was a bit disappointing that they did not continue the anime (however, I liked the earlier parts better anyway, as the new director seemed much different), it has forced me to hunt down the mangas. - ULTRAZORD

I've added a bit more character info on the other characters like Yukino's/Arima's friends and especialy their kind and attentive teacher. I've also included specific references, such as the one about Lemon Tree in Arima's section and another nod to Evangelion in Kano's. At least this is an amusing way to apply historical and literary analysis. I'd like to add more information on the two protagonists, but somehow I get a writer's block when I want to summarize critical events about them. - ULTRAZORD

I've finally gotten around to describe the critical trial of their relationship, adding a bit over two paragraphs in total for Yukino and Soichiro. I believe I got the gist of it, but I'm not very confident when it comes to summaries so improvements would be appreciated. Since they are the title characters, I felt it was inapprociate to leave something to important out. If there is anything else, please contribute! - ULTRAZORD

Possible split
I wonder if it would be best to split the character section off into it's own article. Also, some of the characters could be put into their own articles, leaving a basic discription on the main page. --TheFarix (Talk) 13:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Without the character list, the article virtually becomes a stub. Thus, I recommend keeping the character list here until much more content can be added. -- ReyBrujo 14:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe not a wholesale split-off of the character listing, but how about making some of its entries into articles and giving a very brief summary for them in the main article here? Particularly for the central characters (Miyazawa family, Arima family, Tsubasa, Kazuma, etc.), as their entries are huge. Magus Melchior 23:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

BL Content
Hard pressed to find a shoujo anime that doesn't have this suggestively playing in the background. Asaba & Tonami seem to have a rush on Arima. Asaba makes excuses to keep Arima at his side, is jealous of Miyazawa. He quickly abandons his Marryland plans & makes flirtatious jokes about how cute Arima is to her. Tonami is the can't-choose type; mixed feelings about Tsubaki & blatant idolization of Arima. He wants revenge on Tsubaki parodying his past torment; make someone think you have a crush on them & move in for the kill.

Evangelion Comparison
Seems extraneous to me. The psychological issues of the characters weren't created by Anno and hence any similarities are probably coincidental. Also it isn't very encyclopediac to tell the reader what's interesting and what isn't. DavidJohns 09:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Eh, yeah, especially the bit about the same style sun dress being worn by two different characters from the series seems like kind of reaching. The show was produced by Gainax, it's not implausible at all that someone, somewhere else in the world might like sun dresses. Or the character designers just like them. Shadowrun 09:01, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

 * You don't see more than that? The first episode of Kare Kano is rotten with Evangelion visual motifs:

 * the trains
 * the spotlights and telephone poles and wires
 * the masks and 'this is how everyone sees me' etc.
 * And later there are some even more obvious borrowings:

 * the family dog is named 'Pero^2'. Where else have we seen a family pet starting with 'p' and ending in '^2'...
 * the episode title cards - straight from Eva
 * the odd numbering system, including the decimals when they're 0 (eg. 'act 13.0')
 * sleeping characters sprawled in the moonlight - shades of Asuka & Shinji!
 * the episode done in crayon drawings - like the crayon drawings in the last few episodes of Eva?
 * And note the staff who worked on Kare Kano.
 * Not to mention connections to later Gainax works; I'm convinced the FLCL mangamation scene was an extension of the manga scenes in Kare Kano, and that the ending credits with the Vespa are a twist on KK's live-action credits. (Although this would be much harder to reference than Eva; given how soon after Eva came Kare Kano, there must have been some critic who noticed the links, but FLCL was late enough that our reliable sources may simply have nodded on the connection). --Gwern (contribs) 18:32 21 June 2009 (GMT)

Differences Between the English and Japanese Manga
I don't have a reading knowledge of Japanese, but I've seen enough of the Japanese and English versions of the manga to know that some interesting translational liberties are taken in the English version. The only reason I mention this is because in the "trivia" section of this article, it mentions that Arima references "Lemon Tree" by Fools Garden. However, in the Japanese version, he references the Komuro Family and Globe. The intentions are probably the same, but I feel that it should be noted that the "Lemon Tree" reference is restricted to an English translation. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.253.27.49 (talk) 05:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC).

Characters section WAY too huge
I see it's been discussed a year ago, but I think it would really help to have the character section made into its own article, and have summaries here.--SidiLemine 12:42, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. If anyone can make a page, information can be transferred and updated then we can expand on the series without making the page too long.Fox816 23:46, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

 * In principle I concur, but given the recent changes to WP:FICT -- specifically that notability is not inherited from a main article -- it's gotten harder to justify spinning off subarticles like that without commentary from outside sources. Which in this case, would be reviews and critical commentary about the chararacters themselves, as opposed to about the series itself. And frankly, I haven't seen much of that for Kare Kano, aside from general comments on the Yukino/Arima relationship.
 * Instead, I think what's needed is to trim the character descriptions -- moving the plot-related information into a beefed-up Plot section and removing the inessentials. Also, creating a Critical Reception section, for reviews, sales figures, et cet. — Quasirandom 20:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Episode list
Gotta ask, AnmaFinotera, why isn't a "a list of ep titles is not useful at all"? Even barebones formatted like that, it was at least something -- and formatting can be fixed easily. — Quasirandom (talk) 00:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Its actually been removed once already. It doesn't really help to have just a list of the English titles, to me. With nothing else, airdates, etc, and no context, it seems almost like a list just to list? If you think its better than nothing, feel free to put back the list, though. I keep meaning to make a proper ep list, despite my rather hating the anime, but I keep getting distracted. Of course, that said, the chapter list isn't much help either in its current format. Another "to do" I keep not getting done :P -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 01:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

 * By the time I'm finished with Fruits Basket and then get back to Aria, I'll probably have finished watching the anime and can get started on this one. It's been on my to-do list for a while. — Quasirandom (talk) 02:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Reviews for the Reception section
I note that ANN alone has 5 reviews of the anime, which are useful starting materials for creating the Reception section: whole series, whole series, DVD 1, DVD 2, and DVD 5. I mean, with quotes like "one of the most noteworthy shoujo anime series of the past five years," there's good stuff to be mined here. — Quasirandom (talk) 22:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Plot
Anyone want to tackle rewriting the plot to cover the main plot points of the entire manga series, rather than being such a brief teaser/summary? -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 05:32, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

 * It's on my list of things to do -- once I get my hands on the last four (five?) volumes and reread the whole series from the start. If anyone's up for the deed before I get to it, go for it. — Quasirandom (talk) 14:57, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I've read the whole thing a few times, and probably will again to eventually do something with the chapter list...but trying to avoid doing it on another series right now (I've found if I try to do on more than one, I don't get any done LOL) :P -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 16:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I know how that goes -- one thing in the queue at a time, and at the top of mine is Nodame Cantabile at the moment. — Quasirandom (talk) 16:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Naming
So I've been wondering: why is this article at 'Kare Kano'? That doesn't seem to've been the Japanese title, and it's certainly not the official English title. --Gwern (contribs) 11:08 6 August 2009 (GMT)

 * Kare Kano is the official English title. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 13:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * ? "It is licensed for distribution in North America by Right Stuf International, which released it as His and Her Circumstances."
 * Thought we usually use the official English title when it exists. --Gwern (contribs) 15:15 12 September 2009 (GMT)

"Muramatsu-san (‘º¼?), the Assistant Producer of the Gainax TV series Kare-Kano, guided us upstairs after we removed our shoes and put on some slippers for guests. The ground floor, which we didn't see much of, was where development of computer games takes place. The second floor was where the animators worked, and the third floor was for management. We spent most of our time on the second floor letting it all sink in. We were inside Gainax! The studio that produced Wings of Honneamise, Nadia - the Secret of Blue Water, Gunbuster, and of course, Neon Genesis Evangelion.

...

Some things we learned while speaking with the assistant producer:
 * Kare-kano had no OP animation because the story of each of those episodes was too long to allow time for it.
 * The live camera ED scenes for the first 14 episodes were done by dragging a cameraman on a wheeled cart.
 * The change from live camera to animation for the ED sequences coincides with the change in directorship from Anno to Sato, which has an interesting story behind it (see below).

...

Why we think Anno left the production of Kare-Kano Note: I'm not absolutely certain these are the reasons, nor are they necessarily the sole reasons, for Anno's departure from the production of Kare-Kano. Anno objected to the restrictions placed on TV anime by TV Tokyo after the Pocket Monster incident, so in protest, he decided to have nothing more to do with TV Tokyo and left the production of Kare-Kano in the hands of Sato, who joined Gainax after having worked for the government in a public works management position."

An interesting reference, especially since as the article stands, the switch in directors is completely unexplained. --Gwern (contribs) 15:13 12 September 2009 (GMT)

Yamaga
"Audience Question 	I really enjoyed Kare Kano. It is possible that there will ever be more anime made for that series? It just ended. It was supposed to keep going. Mr. Yamaga 	While I feel that the ending is unsatisfactory, there is the original comic book. It is rather difficult to work with a series that is based on an original comic book. We were working from the comic book and thinking that if we did it in a particular way, it would be an interesting series. However, the author of the original comic book did not agree.	Kare Kano was supposed to be romantic comedy and we wanted to emphasize the comedy and not the romance. The author wanted to emphasize them both and that is where the conflict came to be.	We would like to continue to work on it but we have upset the author, so it is very unlikely that there will be a continuation of the series. I am very sorry."

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Miraculum. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Miraculum~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Non-notable song - unlikely to ever be anything more than a stub. Kurt Shaped Box 10:08, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well it's a classic of three-minute pop, but I can't think of much else to say (except that I'm humming it now) so merge and redirect to Blondie (album). --Tony Sidaway Talk 10:12, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see the value of keeping it, TBH - a full tracklisting and list of singles is available at the main Blondie (album) article already. --Kurt Shaped Box 17:33, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * My rationale for redirect in this case is to enable someone to type in the song name and find the name of the group and the album. This is a catchy song, I'm surprised it never made a single (actually the whole album is a pop classic, just about everything could have been released as a single). --Tony Sidaway Talk 23:45, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair point - the redirect may prove useful, though the information in the article is already present on the Blondie (album) page. What's the normal procedure in cases like this? --Kurt Shaped Box 23:36, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Gibibit

Discussion about centralization took place at Talk:Binary prefix.

Right, according to the article there is a clear distinction between 10 to the power 9 and 2 to the power 30, while they are stated as equivalent in the table. Why is this?

Balenman

The table does not say that 109 is equivalent to 230; rather, it says that "gigabit" is either 109 or 230 (because "gigabit" is ambiguous) and that "gigabit" is related to "gibibit".

history?
I've done quite a bit of computer science, and almost remember hearing about these units. Might be nice to include on the page a bit about where and when (and whom) they came from. I have no recollection, and I kinda missed the info.

Just my $0.02

 * See Binary prefix — Omegatron 05:40, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Is it pronounced Gi-bee-bit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilovemrdoe (talk • contribs) 15:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes. See Binary Prefix.  Thunderbird2 (talk) 16:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Binary Binary?
The lead currently says gibibit means "giga binary digit", but to be consistent with gibi- and bit, it should actually be "gigabinary binary digit". That looks rather awkward though. Thoughts? Otus (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Significance?
Is this unit actually used in the computer science / electrical engineering industry? It seems it creates practically no hits on google.com. I'm wondering if this article is useful at all, and should be marked for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.97.84.47 (talk) 20:34, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 * 88 hits Dondervogel 2 (talk) 13:00, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Compared to 49,500 hits for gigabit. The term is hardly used. This article should be marked for deletion until such time if the term becomes widely used. Glider87 (talk) 06:38, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

 * We could merge it with Gigabit and leave this as a redirect since gigabit can also refer to 230 bits. J IM ptalk·cont 00:44, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Fora

What defines a 'big' forum
The issue, I believe, that a lot of these forums have in common, is the debate over 'size'. It seems that if a forum or discussion board is 'big', then it is kept, otherwise, it is deleted. For example, GameFAQs is obviously huge, so it gets lots of keep votes, but a forum set up by a 15-year-old with 300 forums using InvisionFree, with his kid brother and himself as the other member, as the only two members, gets lots of delete votes.

So, I think that it is necessary for to set some sort of criteria of 'size' for articles.

Unfortunately, this is generally quite a grey area...

What do you think? -x42bn6 10:13, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, Websites currently proposes "5,000 or more apparently unique members" as adequate grounds for inclusion. That seems like a reasonable benchmark to me. That doesn't mean that we can't keep smaller fora, of course, if there are other grounds for keeping them.  -- Visviva 11:05, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * In which case, 99% of the articles listed for deletion here should be deleted... Also, the Alexa ranking is a much more accurate benchmark, as it's not hard for a forum to reach 5,000 members in a short time.  -x42bn6 02:31, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Newcastle railway station, New South Wales

Newcastle railway station is a heritage-listed closed railway station on the Newcastle railway line at Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. It was the main railway station and terminus station prior to the curtailment of the Newcastle railway line.

The current railway station structure was built in 1878 under the direction of John Whitton and was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999, with additional workshops and rail yards surrounding the station also added to the Register on the same day.

In September 2018, the Newcastle station precinct was reopened as a multipurpose community space branded as The Station.

History
Newcastle station was originally located at the site of the Honeysuckle Point Terminus. Early on in the making of the Honeysuckle Point Terminus, Newcastle residents called for an extension to the centre of town and in 1857, the parliamentary select committee recommended that a single line for goods and passenger traffic be laid from Honeysuckle Point to the wharf at Watt Street. In November 1857 a contract for £6,347, was awarded to William Wright for the 67 chain extension. The station was located on a spur line which serviced Circular Wharf and was opened on Saturday 20 March 1858. The current station opened on 9 March 1858, replacing the temporary terminus on what later became Civic station. A large goods yard fanned east from the station, constructed in 1858.

With the connection of the original isolated Hunter Valley line to Sydney came the need for a new terminus. Under the supervision of John Whitton, Engineer in Chief of the NSW Government Railways, the new station was erected. The original building was constructed in 1878 and first used in December of that year. It consisted of a central two-storey building with single storey pavilions at either end. The ground floor housed a ticket office, waiting room, ladies room, parcels office and a stationmaster's office with administrative offices on the first floor. The pavilions on each end of the main building housed the men's lavatories and porter's accommodation. This new station was designed with a layout typical of NSW railway stations at that time (although was unique in being two-storey) and forms the basis of the station as it exists today.

By the late 19th century, the popularity of rail travel led to the extension and completion of Platform 2 in 1880, with the subsequent addition of a canopy in 1892 as well as a new parcels office and stationmaster's office. The areas previously occupied by these offices were converted into a dining room and bar. In 1897, a major renovations phase resulted in the demolition of the western pavilion and construction of the two-storey kitchen and staff block as well as the original single storey dining room used as a Railway Refreshment Room (RRR), the last major RRR built in the state. In addition a new single storey building was erected.

The last major phase of development occurred between 1923 and 1929. It was intended to construct a new building to improve accommodation at the station. This plan did not eventuate, but rather the replacement of the original Scott Street verandah by the current enclosed brick structure and the extension of the single dining room to three storeys. Most of the internal partitions and staircases were constructed during this time. The first floor of the 1878 building was converted to staff bedrooms, and a scullery and change rooms were added.

Further minor changes were made during the 1940s and 1950s and the last major works before closure occurred in 1980.

On 20 September 1987, the diesel multiple unit depot was relocated to Broadmeadow and later redeveloped as a bus station and park land.

On 14 December 2014, hundreds travelled to the city by train to make up the over 3,500 people who gathered at Pacific Park (cnr Hunter & Pacific Streets) to protest against the proposed truncation of the rail line.

On 24 December 2014, the Save Our Rail group were granted an injunction by the Supreme Court of New South Wales preventing RailCorp from removing any part of line infrastructure after the closure of the line. RailCorp lodged an appeal. This did not affect the suspension of services and, nonetheless, work to rip up heavy-rail trackage between Wickham and Newcastle stations in preparation for Newcastle Light Rail went ahead.

The last train departed Newcastle station for Gosford at 23:27 on 25 December 2014.

Description
The Newcastle railway station was built as a symmetrical row of five brick buildings (one and two storeys). The central booking hall is topped by a lantern and features cornered pavilions. The complex is united structurally by platform verandahs, supported on elaborate brackets, and visually by the common motifs of semi-circular windows, four-panel doors with overhead fanlights, frieze under eaves and the stone quoins/pilasters which define the corners of the buildings. The overall decorative effect is of a restrained Renaissance classicism resulting from the flat detailing. The buildings on either side of the Booking Hall have raised skylights which make interesting variations in the roofline of the complex. The one to the west on the roadside however, was converted into a three-storey hotel for a time and this addition has altered the original symmetry.

It was reported to be in good physical condition with low archaeological potential as at 30 September 1997.

Platform and services
Newcastle Station consisted of four platforms, two of which were allocated for Central Coast & Newcastle Line services and two for Hunter Line services, although in practice all services could use any platform.

All four lines were electrified in 1984. A loop was maintained between platforms 1 and 2 until removed in 2012.

The station was also a major bus and coach interchange.

Heritage listing
Historically the building reflects the phases of development of the state's second most important city over almost a century and a half, symbolises the expansion of rail into regional NSW and the completion of the major link in the opening up of the north of the state to rail travel. Aesthetically, the station is a fine example of the station type built for larger centres in NSW. Socially the buildings have a unique place in the social activity of Novocastrians over nearly a century and a half. Scientifically the site has potential to reveal information which could provide greater insight into the changing face of rail travel to the state's second major city, the changing face of its relationship with the harbour and the Honeysuckle Point Railway Workshops and the importance in the development of gas lighting in Newcastle City.

Newcastle railway station, New South Wales was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.

The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.
