Funky Dory

Funky Dory is the solo debut album by English singer Rachel Stevens. It was released by Polydor Records on 29 September 2003 in the United Kingdom. The album was produced by various record producers, including Bloodshy & Avant and Richard X. Funky Dory received a positive reception from music critics who complimented its surprising diversity, charm and relative depth. It became Stevens' most successful album release, and reached number nine in the United Kingdom, where it was certified gold. On 16 July 2004, the album was reissued in the United Kingdom, including three new songs, and reached number thirteen on the UK Albums Chart.

Critical reception
The Observer critic Peter Robinson called Funky Dory "an excellent album. It's stylish, decadent and temperamental, and it's teeming with melodrama: like a Geri Halliwell album, but not crap. And there's a total absence of desperation. While Halliwell's first album was about killing off Ginger, Stevens is not lumbered with any such task since, despite having spent half a decade as one of pop's biggest names, Rachel had no personality [...] Twelve-year-olds will rightly believe they're too old for S Club 8, but they won't be very impressed with the taut New Jill Swing of "I Got the Money", while the steely "Silk" (Erotica-era Madonna with Britney's "I'm a Slave 4 U" verse melody and a sudden, magnificent James Bond flourish in the middle eight) is cool and sassy but a massive Hi-NRG overhaul away from prompting a "Reach"-style amyl nitrate moment down at G-A-Y."

Chart performance
Funky Dory debuted and peaked at number nine on the UK Albums Chart. The album was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) after three days and reached gold status on 10 October 2003. It descended from the top-seventy-five after six weeks. The albums re-issue debuted at number thirteen on the UK Albums Chart in 2004, selling 14,600 copies in its first week, becoming the hundred and eightieth best-selling album of 2004 in the UK. Together, both editions have sold over 110,000 copies in the UK.

Request for Usurpation
Hello, Sparkyboy. A request has been made at Changing username/Usurpations to usurp, or "take over", your username because you have not used it to edit, and another user would like to use it to edit. Changing username/Usurpations says that any unused username may be usurped if the user is given seven days notice to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat or changing username clerk explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to use the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing : the request will be filled after seven days, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed : please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time.  SparksBoy (talk) 01:38, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Printspying

Printspying, a deviation from warspying, is when you connect to an insecure wireless printing network (instead of an insecure wireless internet connection or video feed), and proceed to print pornography and/or pictures from shock websites to the printer. Printspying is best when done when connected to a personal print network (home) but can also be done on business networks.

Image Tagging Image:DeadEvenBradMeltzer.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:DeadEvenBradMeltzer.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.98.101 11:24, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Image permission problem with Image:Covini-C6W-02-1024.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Covini-C6W-02-1024.jpg I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 06:21, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Vilnius metro
I've copyedited the page to improve the translation. But do you have any other sources to say that the project is going ahead? These would need to be in English as obviously most users won't understand Lithuanian. As far as the list of metro systems page goes until it can be shown that the Vilnius metro has the approval of the authorities I don't believe that it should be in there (and the same applies to other 'proposed' metros in the list). For now this link in English certainly suggests that it doesn't yet have national or local government approval. Valenciano 12:58, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Category
When you start a new article, a helpful thing to do is to put it in a category to list it for the benefit of people browsing similar articles. You can do this by typing or whatever at the bottom of the article. When you preview the article, make sure the category shows up in blue. It will be all the way at the bottom of the page, under the edit box.

If you're not sure which category to use, you can add the tag instead. Experienced users will be able to find the article and categorize it. NickelShoe 20:10, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:R072.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:R072.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mellencamp-scarecrow.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Mellencamp-scarecrow.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Fair use rationale for Image:SSisters.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SSisters.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 09:20, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 202,730 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 217,783 in 2009 and 202,114 in 2010. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport (more than 10,000 enplanements per year).

History
In the mid-1930s Johnson City's airfield and Kingsport's airstrip were deemed impractical for expansion. Bristol, Johnson City, and Kingsport cooperated with Sullivan County to build an airport on 323 acres in Sullivan County, between the three cities. In September 1937, two small runways, a terminal building, and aircraft hangar had been built and the airport saw its first airliner, an American Airlines DC-2. On November 5, 1937, McKellar Field, now known as Tri-Cities Airport TN/VA, was dedicated by Senator Kenneth McKellar.

American Airlines pulled out in 1952. Piedmont Airlines flew to TRI from 1948 until it merged into USAir; Capital Airlines and successor United Airlines stopped at TRI from the 1940s until 1977 when Allegheny Airlines replaced them. Southern Airways appeared in 1960. The first jets were Piedmont Boeing 727-100s and Southern Douglas DC-9-10s in 1967; in 1977 a Piedmont Boeing 737-200 was flying nonstop to New York LaGuardia Airport.

In January 2008 a quick service restaurant, Tailwind Express, was added in the post-security area of the airport along with the Tailwind Restaurant and Lounge in the pre-security area. In April 2012 the airport broke ground on a $10 million project that would lengthen a taxiway and move a road farther away from the airport, opening 140 acres for future development.

Facilities
Tri-Cities Airport covers 1,250 acres (506 ha) at an elevation of 1,519 feet (463 m). It has two asphalt runways: 5/23 is 8,000 by 150 feet (2,438 x 46 m) and 9/27 is 4,442 by 150 feet (1,354 x 46 m).

For the year ending March 31, 2023 the airport had 49,790 aircraft operations, an average of 136 per day: 72% general aviation, 13% air taxi, 9% airline and 5% military. In March 2023, there were 53 aircraft based at this airport: 31 single-engine, 8 multi-engine, 12 jet and 2 helicopter.

Accidents and incidents

 * On April 1, 1993, NASCAR driver Alan Kulwicki and three others were killed when a Fairchild Merlin crashed on approach to the airport. The cause of the crash was pilot error in operating the aircraft's engine anti-ice system.

Sophocles?
Why are you against reporting on what was said about Sophocles? Haiduc 18:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Rigas
Hi. The way we have it, Aromanian is basically "a kind of Vlach" (as the article for Vlachs indicates). Why be vague? Plus: using your logic, nothing should ever be linked to "Aromanians". Plus: one of the sources specifically indicates that he was Aromanian; the other sources don't do so only because they do not provide the same level of detail (the name of his family, for example). Dahn 18:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * S, as you may see, the current Vlach article sends to "Aromanian", as a subcategory; you may also note that the general agreement also views Romanians as a kind of Vlachs ("Vlach" was the common appelation for Romanians in the modern age). I myself cannot decide on the merger, and would be deeply opposed to it. However, if you want to state the case for it, by all means do so - on the respective pages. Until a decision iss taken, let's not experiment with terminologies in related articles. Dahn 18:41, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * S, you would be obstructing a valid article that you object to for your own reasons, and still be linking to the vaguer of two articles. I don't know what is "middle" about this way. Dahn 19:09, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Please cease further reverts in this article! If u are not convinced about Rigas being an Aromanian, i can supply u with many sources, even in Greek if u prefer... Ο Ρήγας ήταν Βλάχος, και μιας και είμαι κι εγώ (και τυχαίνει να έχω καταγωγή ίδια με την δική του (ίδιο χωριό) δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω τον λόγο της αντίδρασής σου...). Δεν συζητάμνε την καταγωγή των Βλάχων, η οποία είναι 100% ελληνική ΙΜΧΟ... Σκέψου πριν ξανακάνεις revert... Hectorian 20:26, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Look, Sshadow. There is a Greek perspective on the Aromanian issue: if you'd bother to actually look into it, you'll see that it does not deny the existence of Aromanians, but rather their status as a Latin people or a branch of the Romanians; the usual Romanian perspective. Generally, I tend to disagree with the very fabric of such arguments, as well as with any other ethno-nationalist perspective on this and other issues,; if I have to pick, I tend to oppose the standard Greek viewpoint, as it seems more politically-motivated than it is rational. However, I took no particular stand on the issue, nor prevented any version from being voiced. This means that no POV can be expressed on the issue of someone being Aromanian, but rather on the issue of being Aromanian means. Thus, your outburst is sterile and irrelevant. This especially since you yourself note that Aromanians are a kind of Vlachs (as the Vlachs inhabit regions from the Pindus to Bohemia); it is also useful to point out that no other kinds of Vlachs compete over Feraios (unless you want to say that he was a Morlach or a Romanian).

On the absolutely incomprehensible argument you made about Djuvara: 1. I hoped I would not be around to see the day when a professional and reputable historian becomes "biased" for, let us note, no other reason than "being Romanian"; I also believe that the issue of whether "I am familiar with nationalism" (whatever that assumption was meant to "incriminate") is abhorrent when standing next to that statement of collective guilt extended to Djuvara; 2. Djuvara is noted, among others, for having exposed nationalist tenets present in Romanian historiography (frankly, I believe few such undertakings were present in Greek culture, but that is another matter); 3. even if Djuvara would, under some dubious-to-say-the-least criterion, be "biased", that would be of no relevancy to an article where the issue of Feraios' origin is not contested by sources, but unfamiliar to you (as I have indicated above, and as Hectorian wrote ahead of me); 4. let me note that, if the debate is among Greeks and Romanians, you erased both Djuvara and the Britannica references, yet kept the Greek sources - perhaps based on the assumption that "they cannot be wrong".

Now, I cannot make this any more clear to you. Feel free to reply if these points are clear to you and you want to cover other issues - I will not be replying to arguments that ignore the points made here. Dahn 21:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It doesn't realy matter... I do know that the term 'vlach' or more appropriate 'βλάχος' is used for the aromanians in greece, but in the english world, 'vlach' does not mean exclusively 'aromanian'... That's why i oppose any reference in the 'Rigas' article mentioning him as vlach in general... There is no dispute that Rigas was an aromanian... as there is also no dispute that he was a Greek... Ο Ρήγας ήταν ο πρώτος της γενιάς του εικοσιένα. πάλεψε και έχασε τη ζωή του για την ελευθερία των Ελλήνων. Αυτό λέει πολλά, όσον αφορά το γεγονός ότι οι Βλάχοι είναι και νιώθουν Έλληνες... Αυτό το άρθρο το προσέχω... Συνεπώς, όποιο ποβ προστεθεί ισχυριζόμενο το αντίθετο θα αναστραφεί από εμενά, τουλάχιστον... Hectorian 01:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, Hectorian, much of that is what I was telling Sshadow: the issue had no possible logical connection with the dispute between POVs, and calling Feraios "Aromanian" did not harm the usual Greek POV in any way (nor advanced the standard Romanian POV). For some reason, S began charging me and Djuvara of "having a POV", even though this (if at all probable) had no connection with anything in the article. Just in case, I thought I'd let him know why he is wrong about "my POV" (even though I reject the standard Greek assessments for being politically-motivated, I have the same attitude towards the standard Romanian views, and for the same reason). Also just in case, I thought I'd let him know why it is not constructive to start waving around accusations of "having a POV" just for belonging to a certain nationality (a non sequitur in any civilized society), and why he should consider the paradox of this particular a priori charge of nationalism in connection with the nationalist philosophy that is motivating the charge itself! That is all. Dahn 13:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message.

I wrote it all in one sitting. I consulted the book to confirm names and dates. Nothing is quoted. The book is 235 pages, so the amount is well within fair use. The publisher is now defunct, but copies can be ordered from AbeBooks online, which is where I got mine. I confirmed much of Dr. Talbott's research for accuracy, but the fact is that little research has been done on the topic. The book is quite a find. Thus, Wikipedia's entry is now better than anything online!

In Yosemite National Park, you also changed the SAMPA to IPA. Problem is, now I can't find anywhere that tells me how to read it! I looked at the article International Phonetic Alphabet which is clearly for linguists with a specialized terminology and not for people who just want to know h ow to pronounce things, and I looked at International Phonetic Alphabet for English but after scrolling up and down dozens of times I had still found only a couple of the characters. Can you point me to a table that shows the characters on the left and sample words on the right showing the pronunciation? (And add a link to such to each occurrence of this notation, as was originally there for the SAMPA notation)? Otherwise this is pretty much useless. Thanks. Elf | Talk 17:42, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm glad you find the addition interesting. I'm not trying to foist a view that I share alone (hence the citation - I can certainly find others). I am trying to encourage that this be viewed as moderating the hype associated with the term.

statistical independence
You wrote:

 * In contrast, if a card is drawn without replacement from a deck of cards, the probability of drawing another card is dependent on the first event.

That is a lousy example. Probabilities are not the things that are dependent or independent. Events or random variables are dependent or independent; probabilities are not. And the event of drawing a second card is not a well-defined event. You could posit that TWO cards are drawn without replacing the first before drawing the second. Then the event that the first card is red and the event that the second card is red would be dependent events. But your proposed experiment is the drawing of ONE card. What does "without replacement" mean when only one card is drawn, unless another is to be drawn afterwards? Michael Hardy 21:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
