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 Kolja. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kolja~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 01:11, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harvey Jackson

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus. Vote as I have it is 33 for delete, 22 for merge and 19 for keep. So 52 of 74 votes want it to be deleted in some way. If you discount some of the anon votes, the percentage is higher. The problem is whether to delete or merge. For now, let's wait. I will put a note on the talk page about the vote. Once the target article is made, then we can merge and redirect or just delete the article. We do have similar memorials for 9/11 at []. Wiki could very easily decide to do something similar for Hurricane Katrina, so let's not be so hasty. For now, I'm going to leave things as is. You may rake me over the coals starting...now. I will also rename this article Hardy Jackson as it should be under his real name. Woohookitty 08:33, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Harvey Jackson (now Hardy Jackson)
I say keep it. I speedied this article twice, but it was restored twice (once by me). Still, Wikipedia is not a memorial. While I offer my condolences to Mr. Jackson, he needs to be more notable for stuff other than losing his wife in the recent hurricane and going on TV about it. Due to the heavy loses in the hurricane, there will be others going on TV to express their sadness. Delete, but a gentle one. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:13, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, if folks want to merge the article to Effect of Hurricane Katrina on Mississippi, I personally have no problems with it. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Zscout could you please clarify what exactly your vote is? Marskell 11:43, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I crossed out the delete vote. It seems that this was not a one time interview. Most likely, I will support a merge. Also, I was told that the guy's real name is Hardy Jackson, so for those who are Google-checking, we could try this new name out. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 18:23, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Let's keep for the moment. It could turn out his story is fake or his wife was actually a space alien or he runs for Congress or something in the near future. Weak keep. Stlemur 04:17, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep; he's become a celebrity, more or less. --Merovingian (t) (c) 04:20, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for the moment at least Nick Catalano (Talk) 04:27, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete or transwiki. Wrong project. There's nothing wrong with the content except that it's not encyclopedic, because nobody is going to remember Mr. Jackson in a year or two.  The fact that people are voting "keep for the moment" is a perfect indication that this is transitory content:  interesting now, but not for long.  That makes it news, so it belongs on Wikinews. Isomorphic 04:31, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Perhaps when the Harvey Jackson Trust opens, but at the moment he's no more notable than any other named or photographed interviewee in a disaster report, i.e. he isn't notable. Besides, how do we know he isn't lying? -Ashley Pomeroy 04:57, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Maybe add later if still noteworthy. Jehochman 05:14, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep However macabre it might be he has been referenced on TV and has been reported by the BBC that alone makes him nontrivial--Machtzu 05:24, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Millions of people loose loved ones in tragic circumstances every day. The fact that a TV crew happen to stumble upon Mr. Jackson does not make him notable. Similarly, every day the news media reports on non-notable people whose lives are momentarily thrust into the spotlight. If Jackson gains notability, then we can add an article. Cnwb 06:03, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge I second Samaritan's merge idea. --Ferretsage 09:13, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a memorial. It wasn't even him who died, and his wife wouldn't warrant an article, either. Proto t c 09:18, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have added an article on historian and professor Harvey Jackson III. If the concensus is to delete this article, I would suggest moving the article on Harvey Jackson III to this namespace. Capitalistroadster 09:54, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or transwiki to Wikinews if possible. Being the subject of a 2-minute interview on the news, doesn't make you encyclopedia worthy. Besides, the article tells nothing about him, apart from the fact he's got two children. It's totally mistitled. - Mgm|(talk) 10:00, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete (nothing to add to the above) KissL 10:11, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * keep, pending a merge delete in a week if no suitable article to merge it with is written by then. Thryduulf 10:39, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for now, but reevaluate two weeks from now. I'd rather defer a VfD until a time when we can have perspective, rather than a cycle of add/delete/add/delete while the news is big.  --Bletch 10:54, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator DV8 2XL 11:13, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete; this can always be rewritten later if he becomes more notable. Nandesuka 11:42, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per Samaritan. N (t/c) 12:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I think most of these aren't this Harvey Jackson.
 * Agreed. Harvey Jackson isn't a particularly unusual name.   ral  315  13:28, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, if the person is notable later, the article can be recreated. -- Kjkolb 13:34, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * If this person is non-notable later, this article can be deleted then. 64.59.209.89 14:16, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sigh. Delete. -- Encephalon |  ζ   14:01:04, 2005-08-31 (UTC) I'd support Zscout's latest proposal to create an article at Effect of Hurricane Katrina on Mississippi, and merge this into that, leaving this page as a redirect (save page history).— Encephalon  |  ζ   04:42:05, 2005-09-02 (UTC)
 * Wasn't my idea, but I gladly supported it, hence the offering of merging this article. If others can agree to the merge, I can have the deletion debate closed early. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I know, I feel so sorry for the closing admin. This is not going to be a fun close.— Encephalon |  ζ   05:24:26, 2005-09-02 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:ISNOT a memorial. -Splash 14:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, pending a Merge. I say merge it with the main article under effects in Biloxi Mississippi for now. It's really WAY too early to tell what his place is.  He may go vastly unremembered in the long run, or he may become the symbol human element of the entire event, like Tank Man with Tiananmen Square or Baby 81 with the Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster. jcomp489
 * Delete. GhePeU 14:50, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nandesuka. Getting your 15 minutes of fame does not make for encyclopedic notability. Fernando Rizo T/C 16:25, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep with no prejudice to a later nomination or (better) a later merger when all this material is more settled. Christopher Parham (talk) 17:20, 2005 August 31 (UTC)
 * 'keep please why should this ever be erased Yuckfoo 17:28, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Temp keep as per jcomp. This guy could be the one everyone remembers.  I know I've had him EXPLICITLY cited to me at least twice now...  -HX 17:44, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge per jcomp, since this interview is like the photo of the fireman carrying the baby after the Murrah bombing...it's a symbol of the event, and is getting a lot of play in the media. People may remember him or his story and search for it, so it should be somewhere - best in the Biloxi article.
 * Delete. WP is not a memorial. Quale 18:14, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * KEEP. Harvey's story caps the plight of those drastically affected by the natural catastrophe. His tormented face, and the interviewing reporter's vain efforts to contain her emotional response are seared in the memories of those who have seen the clip on T.V.
 * Delete. Short-term interest (although tragic) Dananderson 19:08, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep now, Merge later let's see if his story becomes iconic enough to warrant an indvidual page. Glowimperial 19:37, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete; I agree with people who said wikipedia is not a memorial 210.54.8.253 20:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and delete. I agree with Samaritan on this one.  Also, I hate to be a cynic, but don't believe he should have his own article unless it can be proven that his story is actually true. If anything, he might only be notable for pulling off a terrible hoax during a time of tragedy.  Beginning 21:14, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge. Not notable enough for a seperate article. siafu 00:00, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Yes, I am sympathetic, no, I do not think man's story is worth a wikipedia article. User:tstockma
 * Delete. WP is not a memorial. Tonywalton | Talk 00:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * For all you people saying WP is not a memorial -- Harvey isn't dead. The "memorial" would be for his wife.  this article is about Harvey as a symbol of the human suffering of Katrina 69.142.21.24 03:16, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The article was only started because Mr. Jackson lost his wife in the Hurricane and got facetime due to it. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 03:25, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Zscout, couldnt you make a similar argument for Scott Peterson? Or are all murder trials notable? There are dozens of murder trials each week not given articles in WP 69.142.21.24
 * Scott's murder caused debates about how fetuses are treated as criminal victims and caused for the passage of state and federal laws. Due to that, Scott Petterson has a lasting effect on victim's rights and criminal procedures (and perhaps American attitudes on the dealth penalty). Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:34, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Thousands died. Sadly, Harvey's story is not unique. If an article is added on the Media Coverage of Hurricane Katrina or Media Coverage of Natural Disasters, this would fit there. Harvey as an individual does not warrant an article. 141.154.244.208 03:29, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, for now. Revisit in a few weeks. People may be interested enough in this person to turn to Wikipedia for information about him, at least for a little while. -- BD2412 talk 04:30, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, for now. I agree with BD2412. I believe we should keep this article for now should Mr. Jackson become more prominent. If not, delete at a later time. --Blue387 02:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge Merge for now, consider separate article in a month or two --Sophitus 05:54, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge A two-minute interview, when he's one of potentially thousands of comparable stories. Unless he becomes a spokesman for survivors or something, he's not individually notable -- even for this. --Dhartung | Talk 06:52, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. While Wikipedia is not a memorial, per se, mention of Jackson may be appropriate in a Media Coverage or Effects article. Deadsalmon 07:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Move/rename for now. As it stands, this is an article about a media event or a media phenomenon, not an article about a human being. --arkuat (talk) 07:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into effects/media coverage. I've seen the clip featuring Jackson on CNN, Vesti, and ZDF, so it seems to have been one most widespread clips of early coverage, and is therefore noteworthy, but probably not noteworthy enough to deserve its own article. 66.177.132.73 08:57, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. The interview's been shown on all the main news channels here in Britain, and is likely to be something people remember from the coverage, but an article to himself is overdoing it a little since he's not (at the moment, anyway) notable in any way that can be separated from Katrina. Loganberry (Talk) 11:58, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge--Ted-m 13:09, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not an obituary column.   ral  315  13:28, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * Wife is.— Encephalon |  ζ   13:42:11, 2005-09-01 (UTC)

Merge - Mr. Jackson's story is not just his own, but that of many natives of Louisiana. This is not some 15 minutes of fame story, this is historical.--  204.108.16.101  (Vote moved here from article discussion page) 64.59.209.89 19:30, 1 September 2005 (UTC) Merge - If he becomes as notable as the Peace Mom (Cindy Sheehan) or the Tank Man, then an article about him can be created. Milena 19:40, September 1, 2005 (UTC) Merge Yes, Wikipedia is not a Memorial but Mr. Jackson's story reflects those affected by Hurricane Katrina. Merge to Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans. Lheaom 03:57, September 2, 2005 (UTC).
 * Delete. Would Wikipedia keep an article about a Bangladeshi Harvey Jackson? We need to, constantly, be aware of the problems with Ethnocentrism and Systemic bias. --Tsaddik Dervish 13:40, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * After reading the article as it is now I change my vote to keep.--Tsaddik Dervish 17:39, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, we would. See Baby 8164.59.209.89 14:36, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * delete Googling ("Harvey Jackson" Katrina -wikipedia) only gets 35 hits, all on the first page false positives. Rich Farmbrough 13:55, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * try doing that same search on news.google.com -- dozens of results, all relevant. 64.59.209.89 14:35, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If being on TV is all it takes, I am several times more notable than Mr. Jackson. But I am not notable, and neither is he. Cmadler 14:04, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * are you a symbol of a national tragedy discussed offices, schools, and homes world-wide? And were your appearances aired and re-aired countless times by EVERY MAJOR NEWS STATION IN THE WORLD?  If so, maybe you too should have a Wikipedia article 64.59.209.89 14:35, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * If his appearances have been 'aired and re-aired countless times by EVERY MAJOR NEWS STATION IN THE WORLD' why was this AfD the first time I heard of the guy? I hardly live in a hole. I listen to NPR daily, and have watched local and national broadcast TV news daily for the past week. I have seen scores of people interviewed (should they each have a page?) but none that seemed notable or were repeated over and over. Cmadler 11:54, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge or transwiki This is the wrong place. CJewell (talk) 16:36, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a hoax.  Harvey Jackson is a artist from Gillette,  Wyoming. 212.101.64.4 16:45, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Try to be sensible. --Blackcap | talk 18:10, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * That vote shouldn't count, as it's not a legit reason. Luis Rodríguez is a couple of notable baseball player, a singer/actor, and an character on Sesame Street. People share names. --  user:zanimum
 * I think there's a good chance he's just taking the piss and joking. I'd have to hear him say it for it to count, though. --Blackcap | talk 18:13, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I thought that the smiley wasn't necessary.  However,  the delete vote remains.  come back in a month and see whether there's any interest in him.  then create the article. 212.101.64.4 07:14, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, in some way, shape, or form. When people remember events, then remember emotions. This is the most notable interview, and will likely be the best remembered, in 10, 20 years from now. --  user:zanimum
 * If it's remembered at all. Can you remember a single interview from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake? I can't. No one will remember this man's two-minute claim to fame, if you can call it that. --Blackcap | talk 18:10, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Wiki is not a memorial and even if it were there is something gratuitous and off-putting about this entry. The man, presumably, hasn't even had a chance to bury his wife. Marskell 19:17, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep now, maybe merge later. This article is NOT a memorial.  NO ONE IS DEAD.  Harvey is clearly alive, and his wife is MISSING.  All the votes that say WP is not a memorial should be discounted, as no one is dead.  This article is notable because it represents the emotional response to Katrina much like, argued earlier tank man or baby 81 64.59.209.89 19:22, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You are wrong. See Encephalon's argument. This man is only notable because his wife is dead or missing. That's where the memorial part is. Obviously he himself is not dead. --Blackcap | talk 19:29, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Just because notability initially stems from someone being dead or missing does not mean that notability is not warrented. Arguments like Encephalon's would disqualify any subject whose initial rise to notability arose from death. See Cindy Sheehan. 64.59.209.89
 * Point, but Cindy Sheehan practically has a daily column in a number of newpapers and is protesting the death of her son, whereas Harvey Jackson's wife died in a natural disaster, had a 2-minute piece on some television channels, and he's not protesting anything or otherwise doing anything notable except having a wife who died in a hurricane. --Blackcap | talk 19:47, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree he is not as famous as Cindy Sheehan. However, it's arguable his story has been covered by as wide a range of media as Mrs. Sheehan, if not as repeatedly.  Although according to the article now, the Today Show is looking to do a follow-up story so his "15 minutes" of fame may be longer.64.59.209.89 19:54, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but what's he doing that worthy of a WP article? Being on TV and having a dead wife? --Blackcap | talk 20:01, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * He's not doing anything, nor has he asked for coverage within or without of Wikipedia. The world's response is the heart of the story; if you would like perhaps we can re-name the article "response to Harvey Jackson interview" but I think the name should be simpler --64.59.209.89 20:05, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * O.K. He's not doing anything special, so what makes the world's response to this paticular interview special? Why shou;d this interview be mentioned in the response to Hurricane Katrina? Isn't it just another survivor story? As far as I can tell, all that should remain of this article is a sentence in the Effect of Hurricane Katrina article saying something like, "The world feels great sympathy for the sufferers of this hurricane," and have this as a source. Not worthy of a merge, definitely not an article. --Blackcap | talk 23:26, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Then should this be merged? If it's merged, then it gets kept, but as a section of another article. If this isn't a unique story, why does it deserve that? 19:51, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * See my argument above. --Blackcap | talk 19:51, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Effect of Hurricane Katrina on Mississippi. It would be hard for him to keep an article, even though his story has been very heart-wrenching. -- Riffsyphon1024 21:17, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge unless he becomes more notable later. Tuf-Kat 22:25, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect he is certainly notable, and is likely to become a cause-celebre. - RoyBoy 800 01:45, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable. --WikiFan04Talk 20:52, 1 Sep 2005 (CDT)
 * Delete Per tonywalton. Wikipedia is not a memorial. Deaths suck, but this is not the place to commemorate the dead. I feel awful saying this but it's true. Plus, Jackson may not want to be famous. I don't think anyone's mentioned that yet. --- E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 03:33, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter if he "wants" to be famous, Jackson is notable, like it or not. Wikipedia cannot poll each living subject in its encyclopedia asking if he or she approves.  Also --No one is dead, so it's not a memorial.  Who has died? 69.142.21.24 03:49, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * His wife did. Because of his wife's loss, he was put on television. If he did not lose his wife, we most likley never heard of him. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 03:53, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * His wife is NOT dead. She is missing.  there are over 30,000 still missing and they are not all dead   69.142.21.24 04:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The way the lead was worded when I first saw the article, she was dead. But since there is a chance she could be alive. So, I changed the lead a bit to state that she went missing. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:27, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops, Merge to Effect of Hurricane Katria on Mississippi. Lheaom 03:59, September 2, 2005 (UTC).
 * I think you mean Effect of Hurricane Katrina on Mississippi Merge and redir sounds fine to me as a compromise 69.142.21.24 04:34, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, dunno why people want to merge with Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans when the man was from Mississippi... 24.250.105.29 04:59, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Major rewrite and additions now I believe justify keeping his own article 64.59.209.89 16:23, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge to new article on Hurricane Katrina survivor stories. -St|eve 21:01, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Mate, all Hurricane Katrina survivor stories is is this article vut and pasted over there. It's worthy of a speedy as a duplicate article. --Blackcap | talk 22:14, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment/vote. In my opinion, this article was listed for deletion too early; we need to keep this listing up for a little while longer as the news story continues to play out.  We don't know yet what kind of role he's going to have in the aftermath, if he'll become a famous celebrity, etc.  There are people who become famous because they are victims in tragedies (Todd Beamer, etc.) or relatives of those who die in wars (Cindy Sheehan, etc.).  If Mr. Jackson ever gets this kind of notability, or anything close, I'd say keep and move to Hardy Jackson (for crying out loud, that page should be moved now, if his name is not Harvey Jackson, but Hardy Jackson!)  Otherwise delete per WP:NOT a memorial, or transwiki to an appropriate memorial wiki as we do for 9/11 victims.  So far, hurricane victims and 9/11 victims aren't that different from each other. --Idont Havaname 01:13, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment For your argument about Cindy Sheehan, please see my post above. --Blackcap | talk 01:47, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for now, his story has been featured all over the world and for many he is a symbol of the suffering in that area. May need to be merged later. Zerbey 03:44, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Do not delete. At the very least, merge to a Hurricane Katrina article. --FuriousFreddy 04:54, 3 September 2005 (UTC)JonBenét Ramsey has an article
 * KEEP. Notable story, has been broadcast many times nationwide, especially by people trying to collect donations for the victims. Notable person. At least belay a VfD until this has all calmed down a bit. --Golbez 08:41, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

Interpretations of consensus
Consensus seems to be to merge to a new article, not to outright delete it or keep it as it. -St|eve 21:03, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I am not sure how longer the AFD should last, but the article should be merged. Ecen with all of the Annon votes striken out, it would be a mix between merge and delete. But where should we merge it too, we have to figure that out now. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 21:09, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Why not remove the vfd notice from article and leave it until the destination article is written? As of right now, there is no destination article but the consensus is we want to save this material 69.142.21.24 22:08, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It only has been up for two days, let's give it a few more days. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 22:10, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * How's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_Hurricane_Katrina_on_Mississippi#Hardy_Jackson. I know it was mainly a copy and paste job, but I think more details could be added or the article trimmed. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 22:13, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Trimmed is what I did. When you take out the redundant prose, it's substantially smaller. --Dhartung | Talk 09:44, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Perhaps we should postpone this decision until things have settled down; at the time being, it's difficult to keep any article detailing rescues/evacuations in order due to the constantly changing nature of events. I'm guessing that in a couple of weeks, the dust will have settled some and things can take a more coherent order. In any case, by then it'll be easier to understand the notability of Jackson's story in light of other survivors and integrate it into wherever it ends up. Deadsalmon 06:12, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown

You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown is the 18th prime-time animated TV special based upon the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It originally aired on the CBS network on March 19, 1979, making it the last Peanuts TV special of the 1970s.

It was released to DVD on January 27, 2009, by Warner Home Video as a bonus feature to You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown. It appeared in remastered form in the Peanuts 1970s Collection Vol. 2 on June 1, 2010. Before that, the special was released on CED in 1981, and on VHS by Media Home Entertainment in 1984, Hi-Tops Video in 1988, and by Paramount Home Media Distribution on March 9, 1994. The special occasionally saw airings on American TV channel Nickelodeon from 1998 to 2000 as part of Nickelodeon's umbrella branding for Peanuts programming, You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown!.

Synopsis
Charlie Brown decides to enter the Junior Olympics at his school after it is revealed he and his family are not going on vacation after all (even though he thought he would). The decathlon is the only thing left open, and Charlie Brown accepts the challenge (of course after everyone else there refused to take on such a tough event before Charlie Brown showed up).

Peppermint Patty, who is the school's coordinator for the Junior Olympics, oversees Charlie Brown's rigorous training for the event. Marcie also watches (and gives encouragement), and Snoopy works out with him (showing how in-shape he is and how out of shape Charlie Brown is in the process). During a review of the ten events, Patty worries about whether or not he could win and decides to enter Marcie to back him up.

On day one, Charlie Brown is introduced to his competitors: Marcie, Freddie Fabulous from Fremont (defending Decathlon champ and smug egotist who calls Charlie Brown "Pumpkin head"), and Snoopy's alter ego from Ace Obedience School, The Masked Marvel (making his first appearance since You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown four years earlier). He places well in the first five events, enough to place him in third after the day is over. Lucy states she is annoyed that Charlie Brown cannot be a total blockhead by his third-place ranking, as the Masked Marvel came in dead last (even after winning the final event of the first day, the 400m dash).

Day two starts off bad for Charlie Brown. First, he feels nervous due to the increased pressure, then he performs badly in the 110m high hurdles (knocking down all but one hurdle and finishing last by a mile). However, after a tough talk from Peppermint Patty, a great showing in the pole vault and first-place finishes in the discus and javelin throw catapult him into first place. Now it's all on the 1500m run to finish it all off and be the school's hero. When Charlie Brown gains the lead over Freddie Fabulous, Lucy is aghast that the world must be ending as Charlie Brown is coming in first. Unfortunately, after taking the lead, Charlie Brown closes his eyes and daydreams of his victory and winds up running off the track, off the school grounds... and out of contention, much to Peppermint Patty's shock. ("Good grief! He ran off the track! He lost the race!")

It is learned afterward that their school still won the Junior Olympics, due to Marcie winning the 1500m (and thus the decathlon) after Freddie Fabulous and The Masked Marvel got into a tangle in the last ten yards. Peppermint Patty consoles Charlie Brown, telling him that everybody knows he did his best. Marcie arrives and Charlie Brown congratulates her on the win. Marcie, in turn, replies, "You're a great competitor and a real gentleman. I think you're the greatest, Charles." Uncharacteristically, she then lifts her glasses and winks at Charlie Brown, who blushes.

Voice cast

 * Arrin Skelley as Charlie Brown
 * Michelle Muller as Lucy van Pelt
 * Bill Melendez as Snoopy, Woodstock
 * Patricia Patts as Peppermint Patty
 * Casey Carlson as Marcie
 * Daniel Anderson as Linus van Pelt
 * Tim Hall as Freddy Fabulous
 * Scott Beach as Announcer

Note: Sally Brown appears, but has no speaking lines.

Articles for deletion/West african type
Thanks for your support in this discussion, however, I noticed that you stated that this article may have encyclopedic value. I would disagree and would like to point out that the term itself is not in academic or popular usage and although it may have been used by one academic, that hardly meets the standards of notability. The ideas in the article merit encyclopedic value insofar as they are presented in a historical context within the article Race Science. The term itself, however, is not encyclopedic nor are the ideas in the article presented in a historical context. The ideas in the article used contemporary research to support them, yes. That research, however, is being twisted by the author in order to promote his ideas (which happen to be once accepted enough to be notable). That's the problem with origional research - you can manipulate it to support whatever ideas you'd like in a forum such as this. I hope that this sheds more light on my position. --Strothra 04:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Coney Island Boy
Hey, Way, I was coming to your page and noticed your nifty gay banner. I'm also gay and would like to know where you get all those banners you have up. Are they accesible by anyone?

On this Ughmonster thing, I normally woulnd't even comemnt because it's none of my business but it seems like that Midge guy and that other one are unfairly targeting Ughmonster simply because they don't like his article. Things like telling him not to comment when everybody else is commenting, and taking what was obviously a joke and making a problem out of it.

It would be cool if you could come down on Ugh's side a little and just tell EVERYONE to shut up already, that innappropriate sheninigans are happening on all sides. Ugh is clearly being a little babyish about the whole thing but it looks like he's trying to gracefully drop it and these guys just keep dogging him.

That's my two cents, take it or leave it. But please do get me that info. I wanna build my page. --ConeyIslandBoy 16:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I saw your comments in Articles for deletion/Achaia Football Clubs and I want to tell you that I strongly agree with you. The guys there told me that I am anti-Greek and it only has no interest by me. How ever what I see all the foreigns who came supported its deletion. However, after they saw that they had no support, they coaliated and together agreed to find more Greeks to save the article, eventhough the non-Greeks do not want it (see contributions of FocalPoint, user:Tony esopi patra and more specifically of Georgeg). I would like from you if you could help and bring more people to vote DELETE because in wikipedia there will be an article eventhough is unimportant because some Greeks feel so patriotic to have stupid information in wikipedia (not a coincidence that they called me Anti-Greek).

Hello there. I see you've argued for delete in the above-mentioned AfD.

You may want to give the article another look and see whether you become satisfied by that claim or still think deletion is in order. Thanks! --Nehwyn 11:31, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

An Automated Message from HagermanBot
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 21:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Great Bot with one caveat
Your bot is most definitely useful and necessary, though I have one problem with it. Currently, when it signs something it leaves a rather long message to the effect of "The previous unsigned comment was posted by..." in small text. The wording seems to give the impression that the editor who forgot to sign did something wrong. Can't the bot simply sign the editors username in a normal sized font with no additional text? --The Way 07:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Breyers Article
Hi I've come across some comments you made regarding this article and concerns that it sounds like an advertisement and I tend to agree. First, should let you know up front that I have a WP:COI and represent the Company. In looking at the article, we have noticed a number of inaccuracies including the wrong logo, misspellings, listing of products that no longer exist, confusion over which products are actually "frozen dairy deserts" vs. "ice cream" and in some instances lack of references.

I think you get the picture:) In any case, given your previous perspective I am wondering if you might consider working to address some if not all of these issues. Breyers would like to see its article be of the highest quality possible and have all the information it includes fall in line with Wikipedia guidelines.

If you agree, I am happy to work it through however you would like. Can identify the specific issues and provide you with the references and leave it up for your consideration to make the changes or not. Alternatively, I am happy to make the updates but would appreciate a watchful eye to ensure all the changes are in line with Wikipedia guidelines.

Appreciate your consideration of this. SusanChana (talk) 16:01, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

WLAE-TV

WLAE-TV (channel 32) is an educational independent television station in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. The station is owned by the Educational Broadcasting Foundation, a partnership between the Willwoods Community (a Catholic-related organization) and the Louisiana Educational Television Authority (operator of Louisiana Public Broadcasting, which owns the PBS member stations in Louisiana that are located outside of New Orleans). WLAE's studios are located on Howard Avenue in New Orleans, and its transmitter is located on Paris Road/Highway 47 (northeast of Chalmette).

As a PBS member station
In 1978, a group of married couples, supported by the Catholic Church, formed the Willwoods Community. The organization joined forces with the Louisiana Educational Television Authority, which had been looking for a way to get its locally-based programming into the state's largest market. At the time, WYES-TV (channel 12) was the city's sole public TV station, and Willwoods sought to obtain the other non-commercial license allocated to the New Orleans market. On December 14, 1981, under the banner of the "Educational Broadcasting Foundation," the partnership was granted an educational station license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

WLAE-TV first signed on the air on July 8, 1984; it originally served as a member station of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). WLAE-TV operated as a secondary member of the network through PBS' Program Differentiation Plan, and thus only carried 25% of the programming broadcast by PBS, while the remainder aired on WYES. Sesame Street was one of the few programs that was shown on both stations. In addition to offering PBS programming, WLAE also aired, and still airs, locally produced educational programs, as well as select programming from Louisiana Public Broadcasting (mostly consisting of news and public affairs programming).

WLAE is also one of very few public television stations to televise a daily Catholic Mass, presented live from the St. Louis Cathedral in the city's Jackson Square district; PBS had tightened its restrictions regarding religious programming on member stations in 2009, although WLAE was exempted from these restrictions through a grandfather clause. WLAE was one of at least two PBS member stations that were owned at least in part by a Catholic-related organization (KMBH in Harlingen, Texas was the other; it is now Fox affiliate KFXV, owned by commercial media company Entravision Communications), and one of at least three in general that were run by a religious organization (counting KBYU-TV in Provo, Utah, which left PBS in 2018).

In 2000, WLAE and WYES both received a $691,000 grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to negotiate and establish joint production and master control facilities. The two stations' operators agreed to build the facility on the grounds of a Lakefront research park owned by the University of New Orleans. In 2005, WLAE and WYES planned a campaign to raise $4 million in capital on behalf of their relocation plan. During most of 2016, WLAE underwent a technical upgrade, preventing the airing of its programming on its three subchannels, but it is now at full programming.

Hurricane Katrina
When Hurricane Katrina struck the New Orleans metropolitan area on August 29, 2005, WLAE was knocked off the air due to significant damage to its transmitter. It took two years for the station's over-the-air signal to be restored. Soon after the storm, it established a direct feed to New Orleans area cable providers (including the market's largest, Cox Communications) and to satellite provider DirecTV. The station's analog signal resumed operations in January 2007, its digital signal signed on the air for the first time two months later in March 2007.

Meanwhile, the University of New Orleans campus suffered major damage due to the storm. WYES and WLAE management agreed to forgo plans to build the new studio facility at the research park. Instead, the money earmarked for that project was used to purchase new master control equipment to replace the equipment at the WLAE studios that had been damaged by the storm.

As an educational independent station
On August 1, 2013, WLAE ended its membership with PBS to increase its focus on its locally produced programming; WYES became the market's exclusive PBS station once again as a result. The station had contemplated the move since the Louisiana state government reduced the station's funding by $270,000 in 2010. The decision to drop PBS programming was estimated to save the station around $130,000 annually (out of an annual budget of $2.3 million), allowing WLAE to invest the money into its local productions. The station's departure from PBS resulted in the PBS NewsHour only being available through WYES-TV's World subchannel on digital channel 12.2 until it was added to that station's primary channel the following month on September 2, 2013; the program had aired on WLAE under a longstanding arrangement with WYES. The station is considering entering into production and business partnerships with WYES.

Programming
As a non-commercial independent station, much of WLAE's programming currently consists of locally produced programs as well as programs distributed by American Public Television (APT) and other distributors of syndicated public television programs. The station's original productions include the hour-long health discussion program Hello Health (which debuted in 2008 under a partnership with the Ochsner Medical Center); the legal discussion program John Redman: Power of Attorney; the Hispanic-targeted monthly magazine series Conexiones; interior design how-to program Chet Chat; and interview and discussion program Ringside Politics. It also airs many programs from part-owner LPB, including its flagship news program, Louisiana: The State We're In.

In October 2022, WLAE-TV aired a documentary about the historic African American village of Fazendeville, Louisiana, entitled "Battlegrounds: The Lost Community of Fazendeville." As part of its educational outreach for the program, the station also held a special screening of the documentary at the St. Bernard Docville Farm in Violet on October 30. The event was supported by the Mereux Foundation.

Subchannels
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:

Analog-to-digital conversion
WLAE-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 32, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal continued to broadcasts on its pre-transition UHF channel 31. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 32.

If you will notice, practiclly all my contributions have been for video games. But luckily, me playing video games has helped Wikipedia

Administrator
Man, I hope I spelled that right. Any who, yes, after using this website, I have decided I would like to be an administrator. I love Wykepdai! Why do I wish to be an administrator? Because I think I can add a lot to the video game department (my biggest interest is video games). And yes, I do occasionally misspell some things, but we all make little mistakes, and if you see one, just tell me and i'll fix it, or fix it yourself. I also want to become an administrator to prove to myself that people who have been blocked can become an administrator, and to prove to the guy who voted against me (I notice you didn't leave your name). So, Vote "Yes" for Neo to be an aministrator! It would help Wikipedia, in more ways than one. Thank you! (Please vote on my talk page).

Proposed blackout in protest of RA 10175
Dear ,

Greetings!

As a Filipino Wikipedian, I hope you are aware of the passage of Republic Act No. 10175, also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which was signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 14, 2012. Currently, there is a discussion on the Tambayan, the noticeboard for Philippines-related topics, about a proposed blackout of the English Wikipedia in the Philippines in order to protest the passage of RA 10175, similar to the blackout against SOPA and PIPA held earlier this year. I feel that your input on the subject will definitely help in the discussion.

Please feel free to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines, and I hope your input will help the Filipino Wikipedia community determine which is the best course of action against this law. Similarly, we hope to get as much input from as many Wikipedians as possible.

Thank you and maraming salamat po!

Kind regards,

Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006
Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 04:18, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Agent-general

An agent-general is the representative in cities abroad of the government of a Canadian province or an Australian state and, historically, also of a British colony in Jamaica, Nigeria, Canada, Malta, South Africa, Australia or New Zealand and subsequently, of a Nigerian region. Australia's and Canada's federal governments are represented by high commissions, as are all Commonwealth national governments today.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, a growing number of British colonies appointed agents in Great Britain and Ireland and occasionally elsewhere in Europe to promote immigration to the colonies. Eventually, agents-general were appointed by some colonies to represent their commercial, legal, and diplomatic interests in Britain and to the British government and Whitehall. They were appointed, and their expenses and salaries provided, by the governments of the colonies they represented.

Starting in 1886, Quebec and the federal Canadian government also appointed agents-general to Paris. The first, Hector Fabre, was dispatched by the province of Quebec but was asked by the federal government to represent all of Canada. He and his successor, Philippe Roy, continued to represent both Quebec City and Ottawa in France until 1912 when the federal government asked Roy to resign his Quebec position to avoid conflicts of interest. Canadian provinces have also appointed agents-general (called delegates-general by Quebec beginning in the 1970s) to other countries and major cities.

Following a military coup in Nigeria in 1966, the federal system was abolished, and the posts of the agents-general of Nigerian regions in London were subsumed in the Nigerian High Commission.

By the 1990s, some Australian state governments regarded the office of their agent-general in London as a costly anachronism, even for promoting tourism and investment, and have since been closed and subsumed into the Australian High Commission. The majority of Australian states continue to have agents-general in London, but operate from Australia House rather than maintain separate premises.

Many Canadian provinces similarly are no longer represented by an agent-general, although Quebec continues to have a Government Office in London (Délégation générale du Québec à Londres) and in several other cities around the world. Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba have representatives who work out of the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC.

Agents-general for Quebec
Quebec uses the title agent-general or delegate-general. In 1936, legislation was passed by the government of Maurice Duplessis closing all Quebec government offices abroad. The government of Adélard Godbout repealed the legislation and opened an office in New York City in 1940. When Duplessis returned to power in 1944, his government retained the New York City office and its agent-general but opened no others. In the early 1960s, the government of Jean Lesage began to open additional offices abroad appointing in Paris (1961), London (1962), Rome and Milan (1965) and subsequent governments opened offices in Chicago (1969), Boston, Lafayette, Dallas and Los Angeles (1970), Munich and Berlin (1971), Brussels (1972), Atlanta (1977), Washington (1978), Mexico City and Tokyo (1980), Beijing and Santiago (1998), Shanghai and Barcelona (1999), Mumbai (2007), São Paulo (2008) and Moscow (2012). In 1971, the title of agent-general was officially changed to delegate-general although previous title is still often used, particularly for the government's representative to London.

, the Government of Quebec has 35 offices abroad, including 9 delegates-general.

User:The Way

Welcome to my user page! I'm a long time user of, and occasional contributor to, Wikipedia. I'm trying to become a bit more active in in the editing process... Anyways, a few basic facts about myself that may be relevant to edits are in order. I'm a 25 year old PhD student at Purdue University, where I am majoring in Comparative Politics and minoring in both International Relations and Agricultural Economics. I also hold a Master's Degree in International Studies from the University of Denver, where I concentrated on International Development and International Environmental Policy. My main interests are in international development, political economy, Southeast Asia (particularly Thailand), ethnic identity (especially in regards to Southeast Asian hill tribes, indigenous rights, agricultural development and developing countries more generally. Aside from my academic interests, my one real 'hobby' or outside interest would be music; I'm a huge fan of indie music in particular.

Queenscliff, New South Wales

Queenscliff is a suburb of northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Queenscliff is located 16 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Northern Beaches Council and is part of the Northern Beaches region.

History
Queenscliff was named in honour of Queen Victoria. The area was popular with holiday-makers from the early 1900s to World War I, who stayed in holiday shacks on the headland.

Queenscliff is famous amongst the Australian surf beaches for its "heavy" waves (bomboras) that break out at sea. The stories recounting how Dave Jackman dared to ride one in 1961 gave rise to big wave surfing in Australia.

Population
In the 2016 Census, there were 3,376 people resident in Queenscliff. 57.0% of people were born in Australia. The most common other countries of birth were England 9.5% and New Zealand 4.0%. 79.7% of people only spoke English at home. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 43.8%, Catholic 22.6%, and Anglican 13.0%.

Geography
Queenscliff Beach is situated at the northern end of a long stretch of beach at Manly that includes North Steyne Beach and Manly Beach.

Manly Lagoon was originally called Curl Curl Lagoon and the name Curl Curl appears to be the original Aboriginal name for the Queenscliff and Manly Vale area. Manly Creek was originally Curl Curl Creek and Queenscliff Headland was originally Curl Curl Headland.

Aboriginal People
Pittwater and the Northern Beaches area was formerly known as Guringai country, the land of the Garigal or Caregal people. The Aboriginal Heritage Office issued a report in 2015 titled “Filling a void. A Review of the Historical context for the use of the word ‘Guringai’. The report states “It is unfortunate that the term Guringai has become widely known in northern Sydney and it is understandable that people wish to use it as it is convenient to have a single word to cover the language, tribe/nation, identity and culture of a region. However, it is based on a nineteenth century fiction and the AHO would argue that the use of the term Guringai or any of its various spellings such as Kuringai is not warranted given its origin and previous use.” In reference to the clan name Garigal or Caregal the report goes on to say “In the absence of a convenient single term for the whole of northern Sydney, the AHO would recommend the use of clan names for local areas, with the understanding that these too have their limitations and problems, and the acceptance of the truth of the lack of certainty as a feature of how Aboriginal history and heritage is portrayed here.”

Julie Adams

Julie Adams (born Betty May Adams; October 17, 1926 – February 3, 2019) was an American actress, billed as Julia Adams in her early career, primarily known for her numerous television guest roles. She starred in a number of films in the 1950s, including Bend of the River (1952), opposite James Stewart; and Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). On television, she was known for her roles as Paula Denning on the 1980s soap opera Capitol, and Eve Simpson on Murder, She Wrote.

Early years
Julie Adams was born as Betty May Adams on October 17, 1926, in Waterloo, Iowa, the daughter of Arkansas-born parents Esther Gertrude (Beckett) and cotton buyer Ralph Adams. Her family moved a great deal with the longest she lived in one town being eight years in Blytheville, Arkansas. In 1946, at the age of 19, she was crowned "Miss Little Rock" and then moved to Hollywood, California, to pursue her acting career. Adams worked as a part-time secretary and began her film career in B movie Westerns.

Film
She used her real name until 1949, when she began working for Universal-International, the same studio where she met future stars such as James Best, Piper Laurie, Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis. She then became "Julia" and eventually "Julie". In 1954, she explained the latter change, "The studio picked Julia, but I never have felt comfortable with it. I just like the name Julie better, and the studio has given me permission to make the change."

Her first movie role was a minor part in Red, Hot and Blue (1949), followed by a leading role in the Lippert Western The Dalton Gang (1949). Adams was featured as the beautiful ichthyologist Kay Lawrence in the science-fiction film Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954).

She co-starred in 1950s films opposite some of Hollywood's top leading men, including with James Stewart in 1952's Bend of the River, with Rock Hudson in The Lawless Breed (1953) and One Desire (1955), with Tyrone Power in The Mississippi Gambler (1953), with Glenn Ford in The Man from the Alamo (1953), with Charlton Heston in The Private War of Major Benson (1955), with Dan Duryea in Slaughter on Tenth Avenue (1957) and with Joel McCrea in The Gunfight at Dodge City (1959).

Adams co-starred with Rory Calhoun, known for his role in How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), in the film The Looters (1955), the story of a plane crash in the Rocky Mountains. Part of the picture was filmed about Tarryall Creek at what is now Eleven Mile State Park in Park County in central Colorado. The advertising poster reads: "Five desperate men ... and a girl who didn't care ... trapped on a mountain of gale-lashed rock!" She also starred in 1957's Four Girls in Town, a romantic comedy about four young women competing for the leading role in a new movie, featuring an international cast. She appeared with Elvis Presley in the musical-comedy Tickle Me (1965). Adams thought highly of her co-star, noting: "Despite his status as a superstar singer and stage performer, Elvis took his acting very seriously. He was always prepared, and did a good job in the roles he was given. When he did his musical numbers in Tickle Me, sometimes walking from table to table in a nightclub set, he did them perfectly in one take."

Television
On television, Adams appeared on The Andy Griffith Show portraying Mary Simpson, a county nurse and romantic interest of Sheriff Andy Taylor in a 1962 episode. She also made four guest appearances on Perry Mason, perhaps the most notable being the 1963 episode, "The Case of the Deadly Verdict," when she played Janice Barton, Mason's only convicted client during the show's nine-year run on CBS. In 1963, she starred in "The Case Of Lovers Leap." In 1964, she played Janice Blake in "The Case of the Missing Button." In 1965, she played the role of defendant Pat Kean in "The Case of the Fatal Fortune." Adams appeared on The Rifleman as a dubious vixen and romantic interest of lead character Chuck Connors. She guest-starred in five episodes of 77 Sunset Strip, three of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and two of Maverick, "The White Widow" and "The Brasada Spur," both with Jack Kelly as Bart Maverick.

More guest-star roles in popular television series followed, including One Step Beyond; The Big Valley, in its classic episode "The Emperor of Rice'"; McMillan & Wife; Police Woman; The Streets of San Francisco; The Incredible Hulk; Cannon; Quincy, M.E.; Too Close for Comfort; and Cagney & Lacey. Adams co-starred with James Stewart in all 24 episodes of The Jimmy Stewart Show on NBC in 1971–1972. Stewart played a professor, and Adams played his wife. She was cast in the recurring role of real estate agent Eve Simpson for ten episodes of CBS's Murder, She Wrote.

Appearances
Adams joined three other cast members from Creature from the Black Lagoon for a 50th anniversary celebration of the film at Creaturefest in November 2003. The festival was held at Wakulla Springs, just south of Tallahassee, Florida, where underwater scenes were filmed in 1953.

In August 2012, she was a guest of honor at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention held at the Shrine Auditorium. (She attended the same convention in May 2012.) She also appeared at the CineCon Classic Film Festival on August 31, 2012, at the Loews Hollywood Hotel. She was a scheduled guest at The Hollywood Show in Chicago, September 7–9, 2012. An additional book signing was held at Century Books in Pasadena, California, on September 20, 2012. On October 13, 2012, she was back in Berwyn, Illinois, for a book signing party.

In October 2012, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences selected Creature from the Black Lagoon as one of 13 classic horror films to screen to honor the 100th anniversary of Universal Pictures. The film was shown (in 3D format) on October 16 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California. After the screening, Adams appeared on stage for a Q&A session where she shared personal memories of her role in the film, as well as several other career projects on which she had worked.

Personal life and death
Adams was married to screenwriter Leonard B. Stern from 1951 to 1953. She was then married to actor-director Ray Danton from 1954 until their divorce in 1981. They had two sons: Steven Danton, an assistant director; and Mitchell Danton, a film editor.

Adams died on February 3, 2019, in Los Angeles, California, aged 92.

Awards
In 1999, Adams received a Golden Boot award for her work in Westerns. She was inducted into the Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame in 2000. At CineCon in 2011, Adams was honored with a Film Career Achievement Award. In 2012, she won the Rondo Award for the Monster Kid Hall of Fame at the annual Wonderfest in Louisville, Kentucky.
