Red Pepper (magazine)

Red Pepper is an independent "radical red and green" magazine based in the United Kingdom. For the first half of its history it appeared monthly, but relaunched as a bi-monthly during 2007. In its current format, Red Pepper is published as a quarterly magazine, alongside original online content published on its website.

Origins
Red Pepper was founded by the Socialist Movement – an independent left-wing grouping that grew out of a series of large conferences held in Chesterfield in 1987 and 1988 after the defeat of Britain's miners' strike of the mid-1980s. The Socialist Movement set up a campaigning, fortnightly newspaper called Socialist in autumn 1991. It lasted through September 1992.

Supporters of The Socialist were convinced that there was a demand for a regular green-left publication, published independently of any political party. After a fundraising drive, which raised an initial £135,000, Red Pepper launched as a monthly in May 1995.

Its first editor was Denise Searle, who had also edited Socialist. But for most of its history, it has been edited by socialist and feminist Hilary Wainwright best known as the co-author of Beyond the Fragments. From 2004, she became co-editor alongside Oscar Reyes. In July 2009, Reyes stepped down and James O'Nions and Michael Calderbank replaced him, with Emma Hughes and Sarah-Jayne Clifton joining the editorial team in 2010. Now more of an editorial collective, the magazine today is edited by Wainwright, Calderbank and Ruth Potts. Prominent journalists involved with the publication at some point include Laurie Penny, Gary Younge and Barbara Gunnell.

The magazine's reported circulation in November 1995 was 13,000 copies. In 2004, it was reportedly 7,000 copies.

Politics
Red Pepper's editorial charter commits it to 'Internationalism; sustainable, socially useful production; welfare not warfare; and self-determination and democracy.’

This charter claims it as: "a magazine of political rebellion and dissent. Influenced by socialism, feminism and green politics, it is a resource for all those who imagine and work to create another world – a world based on equality, solidarity, and democracy".

The magazine is unusual for the UK left, insofar as it is independent of any political party. Red Pepper has also collaborated in 'Eurotopia', a network of left and progressive European magazines which publishes a multilingual supplement. The magazine sees itself as closely aligned with the global justice movement and has taken part in the organising for the European Social Forum. More recently it has supported Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum festival The World Transformed.

Queen snake

The queen snake (Regina septemvittata) is a species of nonvenomous semiaquatic snake, a member of the subfamily Natricinae of the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to North America.

Common names
R. septemvittata is known by many common names, including the following: banded water snake, brown queen snake, diamond-back water snake, leather snake, moon snake, North American seven-banded snake, olive water snake, pale snake, queen water snake, seven-striped water snake, striped water snake, three-striped water snake, willow snake, and yellow-bellied snake.

Geographic range
R. septemvittata ranges through the temperate region of North America east of the Mississippi River from western New York state to Wisconsin and south to Alabama and northern Florida. It is also found in the southwestern parts of Ontario.

Decreases in queen snake populations can be most attributed to a loss of food sources through stream channelization, bank erosion, and water pollution.

Appearance
The queen snake is similar in appearance to a garter snake, genus Thamnophis, so is often confused with that group. The queen snake is olive to gray or dark brown in overall coloration, with peach or yellow stripes that run down its length at the first scale row. There are also four prominent ventral stripes of a darker color, and as no other similar species has stripes running down the length of its belly, this is an important feature in identifying this snake. In the young and juvenile snakes there are three extra stripes: one stripe that runs along the vertebral dorsal scales, and two stripes (one on each side) that run down the length of the body at scale rows five and six. These extra stripes tend to fade as the snake matures, but when young the snake will have a total of seven stripes, three on the back and four on the belly, which gives cause for its taxonomical reference name, Regina (queen) septemvittata (seven-striped). The belly of the snake is a cream to yellow color.

The head of the queen snake is narrow and has nine large plate-like scales on the top, and the chin has several rows of thicker scales. This is a protective adaptation, for the snake's feeding habit of chasing its prey under rocks. The pupil of the eye is round, a feature shared with most other colubrids. There are 19 rows of keeled dorsal scales at midbody, and the anal plate is divided. The sexes are often difficult to distinguish based on external characteristics. Male queen snakes have relatively longer tails than females. Males have from 65 to 89 subcaudal scutes (average 76), with the tail from 23% to 34% of the snake's total length. Females have 54 to 87 subcaudals (average 69), with tails equal to 19% to 27% of total length.

Queen snakes are not large, and they seldom grow to more than 24 in in total length (including tail). The females are generally slightly larger than the males.

Reproduction
Female queen snakes will be fully sexually mature at three years of age, males at two years. Breeding takes place in the spring and autumn months. If mating was in the autumn, the female can delay giving birth until spring, storing the energy she will need through the months that she will be in a period of brumation. This snake is ovoviviparous, the female giving birth to live young after carrying the eggs within her body. This differs from oviparous and viviparous snakes. Litter size can vary from 5 to 20, and the time for an individual birth is from 1.5 to 2.5 minutes. Time between individual births is 4 minutes to 1 hour, with the average time being 11 minutes.

The newly born snakes will be approximately 6 in long and weigh 0.1 oz. Newborn snakes begin to grow very rapidly and may shed their skin twice in their first week while living on the nutrient rich yolk stores they preserve through this time in their lives. The baby snakes are able to swim and move about and they must fend for themselves independently directly after birth. Juvenile queen snakes range from 17.5 to 23 cm in length.

Habitat
The habitat requirements for the queen snake are very specific, and this snake is never found in areas that lack clean running streams and watersheds with stony and rocky bottoms. The water temperature must be a minimum of 50 °F during the snake's active months. This is in a large part due to the snake's dietary requirements. They subsist almost entirely on fresh water crayfish. It preys almost exclusively on newly-molted crayfish, which are not able to defend themselves effectively with their pincers. One study indicates that crayfish make up over 90% of the snake's diet. Other sources of food include frogs, tadpoles, newts, minnows, snails, and fairy shrimp. The queen snake does not find its food by sight or heat detection, but by smell, using its tongue to carry the scent of its prey to receptors within its mouth. In this way it is able to home in on its prey, even under water.

Habits
The queen snake is in a period of brumation throughout the winter months, and groups of them can be found in "hibernacula", near water. These hibernation dens can be inside old bridge abutments, cracked concrete retaining walls and dams, and in niches of bedrock. During this time, the snakes are lethargic, and their main prey, crayfish, may become the predator, particularly of the young snakes.

It is a diurnal species, but it can be found moving about and hunting at night as well. They are often found by turning over rocks within or near the brooks and streams they inhabit to find prey. They will also come out of the water to bask in the sun, often perching on branches or roots above or near the waters edge. Queen snakes are very alert to any potential danger and will drop into the water when disturbed. They are rather docile snakes, not too likely to bite. Their main defenses are thrashing, spinning, and secreting malodorous feces and anal musk, similar to the behaviour of the garter snake in this defense. Queen snakes have been shown to use the sun for celestial orientation in their habitat.

Predators of queen snakes are raccoons, otters, mink, hawks and herons. Large frogs and fish will also eat the young snakes. When approached by predators, queen snakes will flee a distance directly related to their internal temperature. The main threat to the queen snake is habitat loss as waterways are drained, disturbed or polluted. Crayfish, their main food, are sensitive to acidification and accumulation of heavy metals. Thus, as waterways have become polluted and crayfish have died out, the queen snake population has declined throughout its former range. In many areas the queen snake has disappeared or has become in danger of doing so.

Diet
Queen snakes are described as dietary specialists, feeding primarily on crayfish. They have been documented favoring crayfish that are freshly molted. R. septemvittata are especially sensitive to a chemical compound called ecdysone that is produced by crayfish during their molting cycle which help them find that prey easier. It is assumed they use a vomeronasal organ to detect the chemical. One study done offered crayfish during their molting cycle and crayfish not on their molting cycle to queen snakes to see which they preferred. The results showed that the queen snakes would not eat the prey if it was not releasing ecdysone. If none of these prey can be found, queen snakes will resort to eating small fish.

response from London
Uwe wants to share this with you (from his talk page):

Hello Kils
Just would like to state that i have very much enjoyed being involved in a project of this nature. To see the speed of co-operation between various people was (Uwe, Lupo and Salleman and all others) fantastic. It was a complete buzz to go off researching about a scientific subject and coming to some understanding and appreciation of a creature that i would have no knowledge or interest in otherwise. I would like to say that it takes a damn good teacher to get others interested in what they teach and i for one, if only in a rudimentary and general way have found the subject of Krill and sorrounding issues of ecology and environment fascinating. I think that says a lot about your willingness to let others participate in something which you obviously have great knowledge in and could easily have been a lot less humble with. At some point i will put up some informtion on my home page so at least people know a little more about me. Am going to try to extend the article on Ice-algae so any info you may have would be good. I hope the article on Antartic Krill gets featured as i think it is now very good.

Wikiversity sounds like a good idea but will need more time to go through the proposal (not too sure what help i could be).

Once again thanks Uwe! Yakuzai 22:50, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Your thoughts on potential Featured Article
I wanted to inform you that the History of Poland Featured Article nomination has been reset and is now at Featured article candidates/History of Poland (1945-1989). In the old one, you said there were too many grammatical problems. One reason for this is the article was not primarily written by a native speaker of English but by a Pole. It's been rewritten a little, so it was re-nominated. So you of course have the option of weighing in on the new nomination if you want to. Ruy Lopez 05:53, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi Phoenix. I have put list of white supremacists up on VFD; or tried to, anyway. I seem to have fouled things up pretty spectacularly; the notice is on the page, and there is a section created for the VFD discussion, but the two do not appear to be linked. I wondered if you could sort things out  for me, since you suggested that you might put it up for VFD yourself anyway. My apologies; I have trouble assembling baby toys also.

 * You added a cleanup template to Big O Tires. The current article isn't very informative, but I think that's covered by the stub template.  A need for more detailed information isn't what I understand by "cleanup".  What kind of cleaning up do you see as needed?  JamesMLane 09:28, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

thanks for supporting me
Hello, just a quick note to express my gratitude for your support of my RfA. I'm sure I'll become a familiar face on places like the Administrator's Noticeboard and Requests for Adminship, as well as the murkier parts of my new job. "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." (Luke 12:48, NIV) Never was a truer word spoken. I feel empowered, yes, but not in the "oooh cool delete button!" way I was kind of expecting. Already I feel the weight of the responsibility I have now been entrusted with, a weight that will no doubt reduce given time. Thank you for believing in me. :) GarrettTalk 10:16, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Not a lot I can do about the redlinks without a big investment of time (other than creating lots of stubs, I suppose).

Disambiguation
Thank you for helping with disambiguation link repair, but please try to repair more carefully. For example, in Lurgan you changed Irish to point to Ireland, when really it should refer to Irish language. Make sure you consider all options before picking one. Generally, using the name of the actual country is a last resort when no other option is appropriate. I'm sure this was only a momentary slip. Thank you and happy damming!

The first four Club Championship titles were won by Australian clubs. Since 2006, when Australia left the OFC, 15 OFC titles have been won by clubs from New Zealand, one by a Papua New Guinean club and one by a New Caledonian club.

Trophies for OFC tournament winners are made by London-based silversmiths Thomas Lyte.

The Oceania Club Championship was played in one or two venues, in one host country. There were two or three groups with single round-robin format, semifinals and final. The tournament usually lasted about 10 days, with matches being played every 2 days.

At first, this competition was played as a single playoff match between champions of New Zealand and Australia. That competition was held in 1987 and Adelaide City won the inaugural season. Then 12 years pause came, until the OFC organised the next, all-Oceania Cup. In January 1999, the Oceania Club Championship was held in the Fijian cities of Nadi and Lautoka. Nine teams took part, with Australian side South Melbourne winning the trophy. They also qualified for the following year's FIFA Club World Cup.

The next competition was held two years later, with an Australian team again winning the title. Wollongong Wolves won it, beating Vanuatu representative Tafea in the final. Two more editions were held under this name and format, with Sydney and Auckland City winning titles. OFC decided to change the competition format and name, so that since 2007 the competition is known as the OFC Champions League.

2007–2014
The OFC decided to change competition format, to make its main competition more interesting and more important to competing clubs.

The first two seasons saw competition with two groups of three teams each, and from the third edition onwards it consists of two groups of four teams each. Group winners progress to the final, played in double playoff format, with the winner taking the title. Unlike its previous format, the OFC Champions League lasts more than a half year, starting in October and ending the following April. The OFC Champions League qualifies to FIFA Club World Cup, entering the competition in the playoff round.

For the 2012–13 season the OFC Champions League changed its format with the introduction of qualifying stage, with the champions of the four weakest leagues competing for a play-off spot with the representative of country with the worst record from the previous tournament. Later rather were also scheduling and format changes for the main tournament. That competition was played between March and May 2013 with introduction of semifinal stage and final played on neutral venue. The first OFC Champions League single leg final was played in Auckland, and was the first OFC Champions League final between two teams from the same country, with Auckland City defeating Waitakere United to win its 5th title.

The OFC Champions League saw another change for 2013–14 season, with the group stage played in a pre-determined location and the semifinals and final played on a home-and-away basis. Fiji was selected as host. The Preliminary stage was played six months before the group stage, and the winner entered the group stage.

In 2014, both finalists of the OFC Champions League participated in the OFC President's Cup, an invitational tournament organised by the OFC. However, President's Cup was held only once.

2014–present
In the 2014–15 season, the tournament was sponsored by Fiji Airways and renamed the Fiji Airways OFC Champions League in that season.

Another format change came in 2017 when the group stage was expanded to 16 teams, with the whole competition being played in one year (preliminary stage followed by group stage and later knock-out stage). Each of four groups was hosted by one of the teams from the group, meaning more countries and teams were included. Group winners qualified for the semifinal stage. The semifinals and final were both played on a home-and-away basis. Following the success of the 2017 season, the OFC added a quarterfinal round for the 2018 edition, meaning that the top two teams from each group qualified for the knock-out stage.

The 2019 final, Hienghène Sport–AS Magenta (both from New Caledonia), marked the first time in the history of the competition that there was no side from New Zealand present.

Qualification
The OFC Champions League has in its current format having 8 teams in the group stage, where single rounds are played in two groups, so that the 2 best placed teams in each group qualify for the knockout stage.

The number of teams that each federation enters into the OFC Champions League is based on the federations development criteria before the OFC, where the developed associations receive 2 places, which are Fiji, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tahiti and Vanuatu, and those considered developing associations receive a single place, where the associations are American Samoa, Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga.

The current qualifying format for the group stage is determined by the two classifieds of the developed associations playing home and away games called National play-offs, while the teams from the developing associations play against each other in round-robin regime in a centralized location, where the best-scoring team qualifies for the group stage.

Broadcasting
From the 2024 season, all games are live streamed on FIFA+.

Old Stratford

Old Stratford is a village and wider civil parish in the south of the English county of Northamptonshire. The population of the civil parish (including Passenham) at the 2011 Census was 1,935. The 'Stratford' part of the village name is Anglo-Saxon in origin and means 'ford on a Roman road'. The Roman road in this sense is the Watling Street that runs through the middle of the village.

Location
The village lies immediately north of where the Watling Street crossed the River Great Ouse; just south of this crossing point is the town of Stony Stratford in Milton Keynes. (The ford was replaced by a causeway and stone bridge many years ago). The Ouse forms the boundary of the civil parish with that of Stony Stratford and also that between Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire. The village is located adjacent to the junction of the A5 (northwards towards Towcester and southwards towards Milton Keynes), the A422 (westwards towards Buckingham) and the A508 (northwards towards Northampton).

History
The Buckingham Arm of the Grand Union Canal passed through the village but has been disused since 1964. There remains a "Wharf Lane" and signs of the path of the old canal through the village towards Buckingham.

Facilities
The village has a few local facilities (two motor dealers, a Chinese takeaway, a fried chicken takeway and a corner shop), and relies on Stony Stratford and Milton Keynes for a broader range of shops as well as for its medical, financial and other professional needs.

There is a primary school part of West Northamptonshire Council local education authority. The nearest secondary school is in Deanshanger.

Administration
The village has a parish council, which also administers the nearby village of Passenham.

The village is governed by West Northamptonshire council. Prior to local government changes in 2021 it was administered by South Northamptonshire District Council, based in Towcester and also Northamptonshire County Council.

The "Stony Stratford" Hoard
The Stony Stratford Hoard was probably found in 1789, near Passenham in the parish of Old Stratford, across the River Ouse from Stony Stratford. It is not known where it originally came from or how it got there. Even the location of the find-spot is somewhat speculative, since the only recorded information is "Windmill Field".

2005 Oceania Club Championship

The 2005 OFC Club Championship was the 4th edition of the top-level Oceanic club football tournament organized by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), and the 1st since 2001. The tournament was held in Papeete, Tahiti. The preliminary rounds were played from 10 February until 6 April 2005, with the finals beginning on 30 May and ending on 10 June 2005.

The tournament was initially planned to take place in September 2002, in anticipation of the upcoming FIFA Club World Championship in the following year, in order to decide which team would represent Oceania at the tournament. However, this tournament was cancelled, and therefore so too was the Oceanic competition. With the return of the tournament in 2005, the OFC Club Championship went ahead, and the winner went on to represent Oceania at the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship.

The winner of the tournament was Sydney FC of Australia, who beat AS Magenta of New Caledonia in the final.

Participants
The following teams entered the competition.

Preliminary round
A preliminary round was held, with the format being a two-legged playoff to determine who went through to the final round. The Australian representative (Sydney FC), as the representative of the strongest OFC Nation, and the two Tahitian Teams (AS Pirae and AS Manu Ura), as hosts, were seeded to the main draw.

The travelling team played two matches in the host country. The aggregate scores are shown.

Hilary Wainwright

Hilary Wainwright (born 1949) is a British sociologist, political activist and socialist feminist, best known for being a co-editor of Red Pepper magazine.

Early life and education
Wainwright's father was the Liberal MP Richard Wainwright. Her brother, Martin, was formerly the Northern Editor of The Guardian, to which she has occasionally contributed.

Wainwright was educated at the Mount School, York, and St Anne's College, Oxford, where she studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). She graduated in 1970. She gained a Bachelor of Philosophy (BPhil) in Sociology from St Antony's College, Oxford in 1973.

Life and career
Until 1979, Wainwright was a research fellow at the Department of Sociology at Durham University. From 1979 to 1981, she was a researcher at the Technology Department of the Open University. In 1982, she became Ken Livingstone's Deputy Chief Economic Advisor to the Greater London Council (GLC).

Wainwright is a Fellow of the international think tank for progressive politics, the Transnational Institute, Amsterdam; Senior Research Associate at the International Centre for Participation Studies at the Department for Peace Studies, University of Bradford, UK and previously research fellow at the Centre for the Study of Global Governance at the London School of Economics. She has also been a visiting professor and scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles; Havens Center, University of Wisconsin, Madison, and Todai University, Tokyo. Formerly on the editorial board of New Left Review, she was also on the National Council of the Catalyst think tank.

A researcher and writer, Wainwright is concerned with the emergence of new forms of democratic accountability within parties, movements and the state. She has documented examples of resurgent democratic movements in many countries around the world and the lessons they provide for progressive politics.

In July 2015, Wainwright endorsed Jeremy Corbyn's campaign in the Labour Party leadership election. She said: "To be honest, the Labour Party isn't worth that valuable three quid. But a platform for someone who not only insists that there is an alternative, but stretches himself to support everyone who is fighting for it, is beyond anything that money can buy." She added: "I believe Jeremy Corbyn should be supported not as an attempt to 'reclaim the Labour Party' but as a transition to a political organisation beyond the Labour Party and beyond parliamentary politics".

Wainwright has written for The Guardian, The Nation, New Statesman, openDemocracy, Jacobin, Carta, Il Manifesto and , as well as appearing as a commentator on the BBC. Wainwright is a founding member and co-editor of the Red Pepper political magazine.

Personal life and honours
In 1971, Wainwright married the British philosopher Roy Bhaskar. The couple remained close lifelong friends after their separation and never divorced. She received an Honorary DLitt from the University of Huddersfield on 28 November 2007, along with Martin Wainwright, for "services to journalism".

Bruce Cordell

Bruce Robert Cordell (born 1968) is an American author of roleplaying games and fantasy novels. He has worked on Dungeons & Dragons games for Wizards of the Coast. He won the Origins Award for Return to the Tomb of Horrors and has also won several ENnies. He lives in Seattle.

Early life and education
Bruce Cordell played Dungeons & Dragons as a youth, and even recalled playing the original Tomb of Horrors adventure with future fellow game designer Monte Cook when they were in high school together. Cordell was a wrestler and a debater, and also earned a degree in biology from the University of Colorado. Cordell once worked in the biopharmaceutical industry, where he learned to synthesize DNA.

Roleplaying work
Cordell worked on freelance game design while working in the scientific field, and was eventually hired as a full-time game designer by TSR in 1995. Cordell created the Far Realm for the adventure The Gates of Firestorm Peak (1996). He authored the Sea Devils Adventure Trilogy, The Illithiad, The Shattered Circle, Bastion of Faith, the Dungeon Builder's Guidebook, and the adventures Die Vecna Die!, Return to the Tomb of Horrors, and Return to White Plume Mountain for the AD&D game, as well as the Tangents sourcebook and The Killing Jar adventure for the Alternity game. Cordell and Steve Miller worked on Die Vecna Die! (2000) together, an original adventure that brought an end to the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons line. Cordell was also one of the designers working on the first new adventures for the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons game, beginning with The Sunless Citadel. Cordell and Rich Baker wrote a new version of the Gamma World Roleplaying Game (2010), which was based on the fourth edition D&D rules.

He won the Origins Award for Return to the Tomb of Horrors, and ENnies for Mindscapes, If Thoughts Could Kill, and his work on the Manual of the Planes. Bruce wrote the novels Oath of Nerull, Lady of Poison, Darkvision, Stardeep, and the Abolethic Sovereignty trilogy. Short stories he's written have appeared in various anthologies, including "Black Arrow" in Realms of War.

Bruce Cordell's RPG work includes many scenarios and sourcebooks; many of which are directly or indirectly concerned with monsters of a Lovecraftian bent (particularly mind flayers and psionics).

Cordell frequently references certain characters, ideas, and organizations in his RPG works, creating a private continuity between various supplements. For example, The Illithiad references the character of Strom Wakeman and the organization known as the Arcane Order (an organization detailed heavily in another of Cordell's works, College of Wizardry). Wakeman was quoted occasionally in Planescape books by Cordell, such as A Guide to the Ethereal Plane, and was instrumental to the course of events in the adventure Dawn of the Overmind (books which were themselves also connected through a phenomenon called an ether gap). Meanwhile, the Arcane Order returned in Tome and Blood as a detailed organization and the basis of a prestige class.

Most of Cordell's work for Malhavoc Press has followed similar patterns, creating a sort of story arc across When the Sky Falls, If Thoughts Could Kill, and Hyperconscious, connected by the god-like Dark Plea and, to a lesser extent, the kureshim race. In an interview with Monte Cook, Cordell himself described his style as including "subtle story threads that connect seemingly unrelated projects".

Cordell co-designed the 4th Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, and Gamma World Seventh Edition.

After working for a few years as a designer on the fifth edition of D&D, Cordell left Wizards in July 2013. In August of the same year he joined Monte Cook at Cook's company Monte Cook Games, LLC (also called MCG) as Senior Designer. Not long after, MCG Kickstarted another RPG, The Strange. The Strange, co-written by Cordell and Cook, was published in August 2014.

Talk:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze

Michael Jai White
...was part of the cast, as his very own wiki page says, but he isn't listed here. --78.43.41.85 (talk) 19:50, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Lyrics
You cannot include the entire lyrics to the Vanilla Ice song, as it is under copyright. As such, I removed them. If someone wants to write about the song, they can only quote small sections of the lyrics. --FuriousFreddy 18:35, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Are you sure about that? I thought reproducing song lyrics was ok, as long as it was clear who the original artist is.  I mean, tons of websites have copies of song lyrics, and websites have databases of as many song lyrics as they can get.  Are they all in violation of copyright laws? -- Ritchy 25 August 2005

 * I looked into it, and I'm convinced we can use the lyrics here. US copyright laws (US code title 17, chapter 1, sections 107 and 108) state that an archive (which is basically what wikipedia and other online lyrics repositories are) can reproduce the work provided that it is not used for commercial purposes and is freely available to the public.  Given this fact, I've reinstated the lyrics in the page. -- Ritchy 25 August 2005

 * Yeah, tell that to the previous owner of lyrics.ch who got his entire network confiscated in Switzerland because he was hosting a lyrics database. If you want to quote one chorus then we can get away with claiming that's fair use, or if you want to do a detailed analysis of the entire lyrics (see We Didn't Start the Fire and American Pie (song)), then you can quote the whole thing.  Otherwise, it's a copyright violation.  Zoe 22:17, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * Maybe we should do a detailed analysis of the entire lyrics, then. That way, we'd get to post them all.

The Shredder's return
Did Shredder really survive his fall at the end of the first movie? I was under the impression he died at the end of the first movie, and was somehow revived at the begining of the second one. Anyone has the movie, to check? --Ritchy 6 September 2005
 * We were supposed to believe he had died, but he "miraculously survived" worse for wear at the beginning of the second movie. In the comics, he was brought back by body-cloning worms, but in the movies you were supposed to take that he just survived since he only fell into garbage.

Sabotage?
Are we SURE the scientist altered the mutagen so Tokka and Rahzar would be infantile? I don't remember that being onscreen, but he might have admitted it later after the turtles rescued him, I forgot. It seems to me that since we learn in the first movie that the turtles started out as infants and had to grow up themselves (pizza! pizza!) that T&R had the same problem, being a baby snapping turtle and wolf before being mutated.

"When I contaminated the ooze used to transform Tokka and Rahzar, making them intellectually inferior and thus less dangerous..."

-Prof. Jordan Perry transcribed from the DVD

Is this really a "goof"?
"When Shredder mutates into Super-Shredder, he grows in size. However, his armour grows as well and still fits him. The mutagen should only affect him, not his clothes." In a movie that involves mutant turtles, rats and who knows what walking and talking in perfect English (well, Splinter has a Japanese accent), how does this qualify as a "goof"? Maybe it defies normal science and logic, but so does the entire movie Bobak 23:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The mutagen is a kind of growth hormone, which affects (and unnaturally increases) the physical and mental development of animals. It does nothing to inanimate matter, such as clothing. It's a goof, in the same sense that we call it a goof when intangible people are able to walk through walls but not the floor. -- Ritchy 00:27, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

On the subject of said goofs... the mutegen used on tokka and rahzar was a new, altered batch created by perry, as stated while he made the antidote

Utroms
An anonymous user wrote:
 * There was a deleted scene in which Professor Jordan Perry was revealed to be an Utrom. He tells his superiors that he retrieved the last canister, which may be used to return to their homeworld explaining "the mysterious disappearance of TGRI".

However, every movie review and information site I read said that the Utroms were never intended to be part of this movie, that they cut out all the alien material. Such a scene goes against everything I know about the movie. I've removed it until it can be backed with a source. -- Ritchy 14:50, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Ritchy, I found this: The original ending to "Ooze" would also reveal the benevolent TGRI scientist, Jordon Perry, to have been an Utrom. But due to budget constraints, plus the fear he may be mistaken for the character Krang, the plot twist was abandoned.
 * I don't think it is a deleted scene, just an idea that never eventuated. Its written about in the Production section. Davey4 05:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the part about the Utroms because the website that is cited is not actually a site that takes you to an article with the backing information. Also, this is the first I have heard of this. Carface 01:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Production
I started the section. But as of now it is just one line. Any help on expanding it would be cool. Some of the Star Wars articles have great production texts. we should aim for that.

Changes
Hi, I made quite a few changes to the article. Mainly, I removed the triva/goofs as it is generally not seen in good film articles, but I saved the useful information, and merged it where appropriate. I also started a better cast section, like the ones on the featured articles. I also made the DVD and music releases under one section because they were too short to be on their own. Peace. TMNTfan 07:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Budget
Boxofficemojo says that the budget was $25 million, but the article said 22. I changed it, as I havent seen any sites saying 22. TMNTfan 08:01, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Little big mistake
At the beggining of the article the info cites that the two new villains introduced are Beebop and rocksteady,while it should actually be Tokka and Razor(A grotesque mutant turtle and doge respectively). Far as I know Beebop and rocksteady(a mutant boar and rhinoceros respectively) were characters of the cartoon(not very familiar with the comics) and made no appereance or had no reference whatsoever in any of the films.El Gostro 00:29, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

 * You had reverted some vandalism created by an anonymous user, just two hours after the vandal struck. Thanks for fixing the problem.  --Brandon Dilbeck 00:39, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Hey no problem,glad I could help,the fact that someone would vandalize this article just shows you that a guy wearing an excrement hat is no longer something to be surprised of...El Gostro 05:44, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

GA review
I've put this GA on hold for the moment. While the GA does not require brilliant prose like a featured article does, it does need good prose, and this article, while informative, lacks that. "The movie is this. It did this.  It also did this." It's very stilted and hard to read, and could use a good prose check and perhaps some reorganization, and you should be good. I'll check back... --badlydrawnjeff talk 19:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Can someone find cites for the last paragraph of the "Reception" section please? LuciferMorgan 21:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

It is correctly mentioned that City Station is the inspiration for the Turtle's new home. Likewise, the article is correct that trains pass through City Station.

I went back a few versions of the article. Hopefully I saved the right one. I'm pretty sure, that Bob Rosenberg wasn't a facial assistant of the movie. I guess in reality he is the oldest child of the founder of Dunkin' Donuts. On Red Letter Media's show "Best of the Worst" Bob Rosenberg is a minor celebrity. --Kryston (talk) 10:12, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Solenoid brake

A solenoid brake is an electrically controlled brake. The brake is turned on and off by an electrical solenoid. Typically a spring engages the brake when unpowered, and the solenoid releases it when powered.

These are used along with a mechanical brake to manage the load on a cargo winch. They're also used in electric wheel chairs, hoists, printers, photocopiers, etc.

Hi, I've copied the article you created to this page, in case you wanted to keep it. It'll probably be removed soon from the main article space as a test page. Friday (talk) 18:39, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

thanks but...
Are you going to read this? Or I am supposed to answer on YOUR talk page?

Thank You for copyying my article, but it wasn't really a test, I'm trying to get people to write this article with me. What should I do?

Thanks,

Nasht

 * Yep, I'm going to read this. :) I figured it wasn't intended as a test, but I assumed it would look like one to other editors, and probably be speedily removed, which I see it already was.  Typically, users are encouraged to start such things in their own user space (such as the sandbox page above) and create the article in the main article space only when it's reasonably ready.  Certainly, you can create an article that's small and needs expanded, and others may come along and expand it.  However, conversational tone is expected only on article talk pages, not in the articles themselves.  I see there's an article that may be similiar to what you were aiming at: Genealogies_of_Genesis.  Hope this helps.  The links provided in the welcome message above will hopefully help you get started.  And feel free to ask me on my talk page if you have any questions. Friday (talk) 18:55, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

WKWO

WKWO (90.9 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Wooster, Ohio. Owned by the Educational Media Foundation (EMF), it broadcasts EMF's Contemporary Christian programming service, K-Love.

The station operated from 1968 to 2019 as WCWS, the campus radio station of The College of Wooster, before the college transitioned it to online-only operation in April 2019. Sold to EMF the following year, WCWS was relaunched as WKWO, carrying K-Love for the Mid-Ohio region.

WCWS-FM at The College of Wooster
The College of Wooster's first venture into radio was the short-lived station WABW, which broadcast for one year in 1926. A carrier current outlet, "WCW", went on the air in 1950, and in 1956, the school struck a deal with commercial station WWST-FM in which the college received two hours of airtime a day.

The WWST-FM agreement ended in November 1966 as FM radio became a more profitable venture, prompting the college to apply for its own station. On September 12, 1967, the college filed for a construction permit of its own, which was granted on December 5. WCWS received its license on May 24, 1968, and it began regular operations that fall. The station broadcast the New York Metropolitan Opera and also was supplied with United Press International wire service.

In the mid-1980s, the station increased its effective radiated power to 890 watts and went stereo. In 1987, WCWS-FM changed frequencies to 90.9 MHz in order to reduce co-channel interference to WKCO at Kenyon College. However, an attempt to increase the station's power further caused unanticipated problems for the college physics department, requiring the transmitter to be moved off campus and to Back Orville Road in 1992.

In 2004, RB Schools, a Texas Christian radio group, challenged the licenses of WCWS-FM and 12 other radio stations during the FCC license renewal process in an attempt to enforce non-consensual time-sharing of the channel. Due to the efforts of the College of Wooster administration, Herman Gibbs, John Finn, and the student management, the FCC denied the challenge in May 2005. As a result, WCWS-FM was revamped as "WOO 91, Wooster's Sound Alternative", with a new image and improved sound; it also began broadcasting 24 hours a day.

In the fall of 2013, WCWS-FM moved out of Wishart Hall to Lowry Center, Wooster’s student center, increasing the visibility of the station on the college's campus.

Transition to online and sale to EMF
In August 2018, The College of Wooster announced that WOO 91 would become an online-only station, citing the burden of maintaining the facility and increased FCC reporting requirements; the school's dean of students said that the maintenance of the FM station was "no longer sustainable". WCWS-FM went silent on April 8, 2019.

On December 30, 2019, the College of Wooster filed to sell the WCWS-FM license to Educational Media Foundation for $170,000. As a condition of the asset purchase agreement, the transmitter will be relocated to a new site. The call sign was changed to WKWO on March 12, 2020, coincident with the consummation of the sale.

Stargate
Mattathias, I strongly recommend you do not create individual pages for each episode of this program. Notwithstandig your love of the show, please note that Seinfeld, arguably the most watched show in recent history, does not merit a page for each episode. On its page is an episode summary. I suggest your work would be better served if you follow this model; it might be an interesting exercise in page formatting. Good luck with your contribution. Let me know if I can help. Paul Klenk 02:03, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * One additional note: Please keep in mind that someone interested in looking up an episode of the show are much less likely to do a search on the episode title, than they would be to do a search on the show title itself.    Paul Klenk

Elayne Angel

Elayne Angel (born Elayne Steinberg, August 6, 1960) is an American professional body piercer.

Early life and education
Angel attended Canoga Park High School and Chatsworth High School. In 1982, she earned an associate degree in Sign Language Interpreting from Los Angeles Pierce College. She has a certificate from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles.

Career
Angel became interested in body piercing after a casual encounter with a woman bearing a nipple piercing at a Renaissance Faire in 1981. Through her encounter, she became involved with and employed by Gauntlet, then the first and only, body piercing studio in the United States. While employed by Gauntlet, she worked at the Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco branches. She was the first recipient of a Master Piercer certificate, from Gauntlet founder Jim Ward, which she received on December 1, 1992. Her technical contributions to the field of body piercing include the invention of several placements, including the fourchette and the lorum piercings.

In December 1993, Angel opened her own studio, Rings of Desire, in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. Rings of Desire was the first body piercing studio to receive state licensing from the Health Department in Louisiana. Angel has been involved with the crafting of regulatory legislation regarding body piercing in Louisiana, as well as the training of the professionals who enforce those laws. In this capacity, Angel distributed the research study for the University of South Alabama on the relationship between female sexual satisfaction and vertical clitoral hood piercing. Positive results were published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

While in New Orleans, she established, with Justine Roig, a store catering to accessories for small dogs called Chiwawa Gaga.

Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Angel closed her New Orleans studio and relocated to Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. In March 2009, her book The Piercing Bible--The Definitive Guide to Safe Body Piercing was published. Although Angel lives in Mexico, she works primarily internationally as a guest body piercer and piercing educator. Since 2005, Angel has been writing a column on piercing for the body art industry trade publication, Pain Magazine.

Angel helped popularize tongue piercing.

Personal life
Angel has been married three times, first to porn director Ernest Greene (also known as Ira Levine), who later became porn star Nina Hartley's husband. Angel and Greene married in Century City, California on February 14, 1987; they divorced in 1988. Angel was also married to English tattooer Alex Binnie from 1991-1996.

Angel later married trans man porn actor Buck Angel in New Orleans in 2003. They divorced under controversial circumstances in 2014, with Elayne Angel claiming he was not eligible for alimony payments due to Buck Angel's gender status under Louisiana law. Elayne Angel lost the case in a California court.

Trademark tattoo
Angel is widely known for a large tattoo of angel wings on her back. The lower right wing is interrupted by a heart with a banner across it reading "slave". This design, which was the inspiration for the logo for her studio, was registered as a U.S. service mark (No. 2,645,270, issued November 5, 2002) and was done in 1987 by Bob Roberts of Spotlight Tattoo in Los Angeles, California. It has since been cancelled due to the registration not being renewed. After receiving the service mark for this design, the circled "R" was added to her right buttock by tattooist Joey Galiger at the advice of her attorney.

In addition to her trademark tattoo, Angel is heavily pierced and tattooed.

Her image is well known in the community from an uncredited photo by Sheree Rose featuring her then incomplete wings, in the seminal publication Modern Primitives, published in 1989.

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 Derfy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Derfy~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:24, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Tom Murphy (Georgia politician)

Thomas Bailey Murphy (March 10, 1924 – December 17, 2007) was an attorney and American politician from the U.S. state of Georgia. Murphy was the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives from 1973 until his defeat in the general election of 2002, making him the third longest serving House Speaker of any U.S. state legislature, behind only Michael Madigan of Illinois and Solomon Blatt of South Carolina. He was a member of the Democratic Party.

Biography
Murphy was born in Bremen, Georgia, where his father was a telegraph operator for the railroad. Murphy graduated from Bremen High School in 1941 and enrolled in North Georgia College in Dahlonega, Georgia. During World War II Murphy served in the Navy in the South Pacific. After leaving the Navy Murphy attended the University of Georgia Law School, graduating in 1949. That same year he was elected to the Bremen Board of Education. He was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1960, serving in both positions simultaneously until 1965 when he left the Board of Education.

From 1967 until 1970 Murphy was the House majority leader under Governor Lester Maddox. From 1970 to 1973 he was the Speaker pro tem of the House.

In December 1973, he was elected to the position of Speaker in the House of Representatives following the unexpected death of George L. Smith. He remained Speaker until his general election defeat in 2002. Murphy quickly rose to a position of unsurpassed influence in state government. He became so politically powerful during his speakership, that he is largely credited with helping his legislative protégé, Joe Frank Harris, get elected governor in 1982.

During his tenure, Murphy was a key figure in Georgia's economic development and throughout statewide politics; and was considered by many to be the best friend Atlanta ever had in the legislature despite his rural residency and upbringing.

In 2000 political columnist Bill Shipp wrote of Murphy, "In his 26 years as presiding officer of the House, he has become as powerful and important in the General Assembly as the governor." Murphy's brusque manners could be off putting, and often required the more diplomatic intervention of his speaker pro tempore, Jack Connell. U.S. District Judge Dudley Bowen Jr observed that ''Tom Murphy was a powerhouse, and he was an administration unto himself. And Connell knew how to be nice to people. Connell knew how to work with people.''

Reapportionment and downfall
Fiercely partisan, Murphy described himself as a "yellow dog" Democrat, or one who would rather vote for a yellow dog than vote for a Republican. U.S. Representative Lynn Westmoreland, who served in the state house from 1993 to 2005–the last four years as minority leader–put it bluntly: "Tom Murphy wasn't fair, he wasn't bipartisan and he didn't light up a room with his smile."

In 1991 and 2001 Murphy presided over the reapportionment process which redrew congressional and legislative lines. The resulting district maps were criticized as pro-Democratic gerrymanders. Murphy acted to redraw the congressional seats of high-profile Republicans Newt Gingrich (1991), and Bob Barr (2001), in what was viewed as typical of his "hardball" application of political power. Gingrich, remarked that "The Speaker, by raising money and gerrymandering, has sincerely dedicated a part of his career to wiping me out."

Murphy frequently skated to reelection, but faced increasingly competitive races from the late 1980s onward as Atlanta's suburbs began bleeding into his district. Indeed, Republican candidates began winning up and down the ballot in the district during this time. In 2000, he faced his closest race yet against Republican Bill Heath. Murphy only held on by 505 votes, a margin of less than two percentage points.

Gerrymandering ultimately proved to be Murphy's downfall. The contorted districts that resulted from the 2001 remap both confused and angered voters, and is believed to have led to Murphy losing his own seat in 2002 in a rematch against Heath.

Shortly after the controversial 2001 reapportionment process, and Murphy's own political defeat, political power shifted in favor of the Republicans, who gained control of both chambers of the Legislature, the Governor's office, and the majority of statewide elected offices. A number of Murphy's lieutenants, including Lauren "Bubba" McDonald and Reapportionment committee Chairman Bob Hanner, who was Murphy's point man on efforts to re-draw district lines to favor Democrats, left the Democratic Party and joined with their former political rivals when power shifted to the Republicans.

Personal life
Murphy married Agnes Bennett in 1946. She died in 1982. They had four children together.

In May 2004, Murphy's grandson M. Chad Long, a lobbyist, and four others including former State Representative Robin L. Williams and former Atlanta Braves player Rick Camp were indicted on charges that they stole more than $2 million from the Community Mental Health Center of East Central Georgia. In 2005, in U.S. District Court, Williams was convicted on 17 counts related to conspiracy, bribery, theft, health care fraud and money laundering, while the others were convicted on fewer counts. Long was found guilty of conspiracy and health-care fraud. All were sentenced to federal prison terms. Williams was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, Camp received a sentence of 37 months, and Long received a shorter sentence. The group, except Long, appealed their convictions, but in March 2007 the appeal was turned down. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in an unsigned decision that it found no merit to any of the arguments.

Death and legacy
Murphy suffered a stroke in 2004, which left him incapacitated. He died at 10:00 p.m. on December 17, 2007, in Bremen after years of declining health. To honor his service to Georgia, Murphy lay in state at the Georgia State Capitol on December 21, 2007—first within the House chambers and then in the Capitol Rotunda.

When Murphy died, Georgia Republican U. S. Senator Johnny Isakson said, "Tom Murphy was a giant in Georgia politics, and his legacy is everywhere. Without Tom Murphy there would be no World Congress Center, or Georgia Dome or MARTA." Isakson went on to say, "As tough as he was on the outside, he had a soft spot in his heart for children, the poor and the sick. He was a product of the Depression and it left a lasting impression on him.  In many a speech Speaker Murphy would reflect on the days of his youth and would vow never to let a Georgia child face the conditions he did."
