Talk:Westfield, Indiana

Where in the hell is Westfield?
There's a map of Indiana that apparently shows where Hamilton County is, and a strange inset that has no explanation at all, but if you told someone you were from Westfield, and they asked where that was, you'd describe it as being a distance and a direction from a city. It would be HIGHLY useful to place it relative to Indianapolis, the kargest city in the metro area, for the benrefit of someone from a distant state, and rekative to Carmel of Noblesville - aren't they the largest communities in the county? - to benefit those from Indiana. Putting other communities of the county on the inset would be useful, but you might need to enlarge it to be legible. Such a map would be useful on the Hamilton County page as well; it lists communities, but does say where they are.. Or you could show it on a map of the counties in the Indpls TV market. 2601:D:A380:453:5D9E:9DDE:1FA9:E7A (talk) 16:12, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Untitled
I do need to show you any proof dreamguy, the proof is out there, you are not the police or keeper of this encyclopedia. Furthermore you are harrasing me by going and changing anything I have added. If you keep on harrasing me I will report you to the admin. Stay away from me and dont send me anymore personal messages, I will not tolerate you thinking you can tell me what is proper and what is not, this is an open source project that anyone can add to. If you would bother to take a look you will find that baphomet was worshipped as a fertility god. (unsigned, but by Khaosinfire)

 * Please don't try to paint this as if I were harassing you, as other people removed thje same additions when you made them to Baphomet itself, as mentioned on Talk:Baphomet. If the information is really out there (and all the rest of us somehow missed it) then it should be trivial for you to provide a source, right? So, please do. As I explained to you on your talk page, the Verifiability policy demands it in cases like this. If you feel the need to complain to an admin he or she will just tell you that I am right. DreamGuy 23:52, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

This a disambiguation page my let me spell it out for you. dis·am·big·u·ate To establish a single grammatical or semantic interpretation for.

You have once again left me a private message after I told you not to, you keep on messing with anything I have added, you really have a problem and you are harrasing me. You are in a sence stalking me by going over anything I have added, if you keep up I will report you to the admin & I will be forced to find your IP address and report you to your ISP and the proper authoritys. you are targeting me and I will not be silent or stand for it. I just wonder how many other people like me that you do not like our "sources". You are no god, you do not run this encyclopedia so go find someone else to target and LEAVE ME ALONE. I am not playing leave me alone and do not send me any more private messages, I am logging everything that is going on here and I will use this information against you.(unsigned, but by Khaosinfire)

 * I didn't send you any private messages, I posted to your talk page, warning you that you violated 3RR and once again requesting you follow policy and provide a source for the information you keep adding no matter who removes it. I am simply following policy and doing what editors are supposed to do here at Wikipedia. DreamGuy 01:30, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation?
There's only one article about Baphomet, so why do we need a disambiguation page? I propose that all this material be moved to the main Baphomet article. (unsigned, but by User:Pterodactyler)

There's only one article about Baphomet the demonic icon, but Baphomet is used in other ways in relationship to other articles... that's also a use for disambiguation pages. The bulleted points very clearly are disambiguations. (You can ignore that last bit, that's some unsourced falsehoods another editor put there and I can't remove right now without violating WP:3RR policy (not that the person putting it there is following that policy). That'll disappear as soon as someone else watching the page signs on.) DreamGuy 04:32, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, I'll agree that the Slip song and the Clive Barker character are legitimate disambiguations. I'm not so sure about "Horns ov Baphomet" and "Baphomet's Throne," though. These songs are not called simply "Baphomet" and are therefore not alternate meanings for the name Baphomet. And the Baphomet they are referring to is the demonic icon, not some other meaning. I don't think they belong here, any more than, say, the song "Roll Over, Beethoven" belongs on a Beethoven disambiguation page. Perhaps these songs could be mentioned in the "Baphomet in popular culture" section of the main article rather than on the disambiguation page.

Alfred Heinz Reumayr

Alfred Heinz Reumayr of Vancouver, British Columbia, was arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on August 18, 1999, on charges of plotting to blow up the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System on January 1, 2000. He was extradited to the United States, and was convicted of explosives and weapons charges after pleading guilty.

Reumayr's plan involved purchasing significant quantities of oil futures prior to the bombing in the hope that the damaged pipeline would reduce oil supplies and drive up the price of oil, leaving him to rake in the profits. However, no evidence ever existed that he even had a futures account.

However, Reumayr was never able to implement his plan. In an effort to obtain blasting caps, Reumayr contacted an acquaintance whom he had met several years earlier while serving a five-year prison sentence for fraud. This acquaintance, James Paxton, subsequently contacted the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and agreed to work as informant in this case. The two people communicated over email and Reumayr sent Paxton approximately $3000 USD intended for the purchase of explosive ingredients. Eventually, Reumayr and Paxton met at a hotel room in Surrey, British Columbia, to discuss technical details of the plan. Unbeknownst to Reumayr, the hotel room had been bugged by Canadian police, which led to his arrest.

Reumayr was charged with six counts of explosive-related and terrorism offenses in New Mexico, though the scheme was allegedly going to be carried out in Alaska. An assessment made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation concluded that Reumayr's planned attack "could have interrupted oil flow through the pipeline for as many as 90 days" and resulted in oil and gas shortages in California and several other western states. Reumayr's lawyer argued, however, that the terrorism charges were unwarranted, and that the plan was "aimed at making money ... and not hurt anybody". After a seven-year extradition battle, and a failed appeal to the Supreme Court, Reumayr was deported to the United States in 2006.

In 2008, Reumayr pleaded guilty to explosives and weapons charges, after admitting to providing the informant, James Paxton, with explosive materials. He was sentenced by district judge Bruce D. Black of the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico to 13 years in federal prison, with nine years' credit for time served. He was released on December 15, 2010. After his release, Reumayr was deported from the United States back to Canada.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ku Klux Klan/archive1

Ku Klux Klan
Self-nomination. This is a detailed and extensively footnoted article on a hot-button topic. It's just been through peer review, which gave some helpful comments leading to improvements. I think the photos are in pretty good shape legally; there is one that's claimed as fair use, Image:Lynching-of-michael-donald.jpg, and I've detailed in its image description page why I think it fits the guidelines at Fair use. What might perhaps arouse stronger feelings is that two of the pictures in the article are of lynching victims. These are not just random pictures of Klan lynchings --- they're both of great historical importance, and I think they follow the guidelines at Profanity.--Bcrowell 23:14, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Conditional Support - Some of the pictures are poorly arranged on the page, at least in Firefox @ 1600x1200. Nick Catalano (Talk) 01:18, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Can anyone suggest a good strategy to make it look nice at a variety of resolutions? NickCatal, are there any sections that look particularly good or bad at 1600x1200? I'm using 1280x1024.--Bcrowell 03:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

pamri 03:28, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Object The content is good enough, but I have some nitpicks.
 * Rename sections to better reflect its contents. One has a vague title like Today and other has an unneccessarily long one like The Ku Klux Klan in the arts.
 * The Ku Klux Klan in the arts can surely be expanded to a para from the current 2 lines.
 * Switch to {{inote}} for references and {{mn}} for notes. See the Economy of India, for how it is done.
 * Some of the images like Image:Viola-liuzzo.jpg are marked PD based on some debatable assumptions. Probably, they can be marked as fair use or you can try to contact your primary source for more information.
 * Hi pamri -- Thanks for your comments! I've actually gone ahead and deleted the section on "The Ku Klux Klan in the arts," which has always been problematic; it was just acting as a magnet to attract lots of material about movies that just happened to have some content relating to the Klan. I've renamed the "Today" section to "The Ku Klux Klan today." Re the Liuzzo photo, as noted in its description page, the Detroit News apparently does not know the copyright owner either (all the other photos in the Detroit News article were credited, but this one wasn't). Although I think it would definitely qualify under fair use (not notably artistic, historically important, doesn't cut the commercial value of the original), I think that's unnecessary because it's almost certainly PD in the U.S., for the reasons given on the description page. Re the footnotes, can you fill me in on the relative pros and cons of the two styles? I've had another article accepted as an FA just recently with this style of footnotes, and I wasn't aware that it was an issue.--Bcrowell 17:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Its not mentioned how KKK influenced and was influenced by groups like Nation of Islam,Black Panthers,etc., "The Ku Klux Klan in the arts," is certainly needed, so you can either add a para and create a main article, which can be expanded or you can add everything in that article and link it from see also. You can probably experiment with right-aligning the images and see if it solves Nick's problem. If you switch to {{inote}}, links to websites will go under references, inline citations(page nos.,etc.,) will be visible only in edit mode and you will be left with 7/8 notes and you don't have to deal with the pain of updating the order of references everytime you insert a reference. Of course, this is secondary to the other objections and can be worked on later. I will switch to support if the other objections are resolved. pamri 06:18, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi -- Thanks for explaining about inote; it sounds like a good idea to switch to that style. I doubt that the Klan was influenced by the NOI or BPP, since the Klan's priorities and traditions were set in 1866-1871 and 1915, long before those groups existed. If the Klan influenced the NOI or BPP, there is no mention of that in those two WP articles, but if you have a verifiable source of information saying that there was such an influence, I'd be happy to hear about it. It's true that, e.g., David Duke portrays his NAAWP as simply the white counterpart of the NAACP, but of course black civil rights groups don't buy the analogy, and that type of claim of symmetry is more of a feature of recent post-Klan white supremacist groups. I disagree that the section on the KKK in the arts is necessary.--Bcrowell 14:06, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmm...after reading the documentation on inote, I don't think it's necessarily appropriate here. It sounds nice not to have to worry about the ordering of the notes when you move text around, but I don't think it would be desirable, in this article, to make the notes invisible.--Bcrowell 03:10, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It won't make the notes invisible, but only inline citations (page nos. referenced). You can still use {{mn}} for the notes.pamri 03:41, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * Support Well written article. Haddock420 10:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong object. The post-World War II history is utterly inadequate. It omits, for example, any discussion of the Klan's role in supporting resistance to school desegregation and in attempts to disrupt voter registration drives; and it spends more text discussing COINTELPRO than on Klan activities during the decade that followed court-ordered desegregation. With regard to more contemporary material, it omits any mention of David Duke, and contains no discussion of the more media-savvy successor groups which avoid the Klan's name and most overtly offensive activities while continuing its paleopolitical activities. Monicasdude 14:18, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Monicasdude - Thanks for your comments. I had just recently moved a bunch of material, including the discussion of David Duke, from the KKK article into Notable Ku Klux Klan members in national politics, but in fact David Duke doesn't fit the criteria of the notable members article, so I've moved the discussion of him back. Thanks for the pointers about school desegregation and voter registration; I'll work on that ASAP. Re successor groups, I'm not sure if you're referring to the various current Klan groups (which are discussed) or to groups like Christian Identity, neo-Nazi groups, and racist skinheads, which are also mentioned, although they're only peripheral to the article's topic. In general, the article focuses on the time periods when the Klan was strongest and most influential, and had the greatest historical effects: 1866-1871, and 1915-1930.--Bcrowell 16:58, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've moved the David Duke material back in, added to the discussion of the Klan's role in resisting the civil rights movement and voting rights, and added discussion of Klan resistance to court-ordered busing. Thanks for your comments, which have definitely led to an improvement in the article! I hope after seeing these changes you'll be willing to change your vote.--Bcrowell 17:30, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm still unsatisfied with the post-WWII discussion, which I don't think is well-developed enough. I think it needs more discussion as to both why the Klan regained strength -- most significantly, resistance to school desegregation -- and why resistance to it gained even more strength (the influence of Truman's integration of US military forces, and the effect that TV coverage of events had, especially after 1960). The successor organizations I mentioned are groups like this this one, http://www.southernmessenger.org/, whose current efforts are concentrated on (relatively) PR-savvy falsification of history and corruption of public discourse rather than brute force. Some are more adept at this than others; that one is not among the more adept). Monicasdude 23:06, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The web page at southernmessenger.org isn't a Klan site at all, AFAICT. When you talk about "successor organizations," are you talking about Klan organizations, or non-Klan organizations? The article is only about the Klan, not Aryan Nation, White Aryan Resistance, NAAWP, etc. Oh, I see, in your original comment you referred to "the more media-savvy successor groups which avoid the Klan's name." This article isn't about those groups at all. The white supremacy article would cover them.--Bcrowell 23:44, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think any extensive discussion of the successor organizations is necessary, but their growth (and surprising respectability in some circles) is a nontrivial factor in the "klassic" Klan(s)' contemporary insignificance. Monicasdude 00:20, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, but there's already a brief mention of that at the end of the section "Later Ku Klux Klans." I think part of the problem is that it's easy to miss things like that because of the way the article is organized. There's a lot of overlap between "The Ku Klux Klan today" and "Later Ku Klux Klans," and also between "Later Ku Klux Klans" and "Political influence." I think I'll do a little reorganization.--Bcrowell 02:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. A well done article on a disturbing subject.--Alabamaboy 20:34, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Well-researched and well-written. Though many editors participate, Bcrowell deserves special credit for improving (and maintaining) this non-contentitous article on a contentious topic. -Willmcw 21:13, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Provided Raul never puts this on the front page, that would suck like nothing has ever sucked before. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:44, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your support! Assuming for the sake of argument that it achieves FA status, I agree that the result of front-paging it would probably be horrific. Even under normal conditions, this article gets vandalized much more often than any other article I've had experience with.--Bcrowell 05:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Tom Coughlin (Walmart executive)

Thomas Martin Coughlin (June 6, 1949 – April 1, 2016) was an American businessman who served as vice chairman of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and confidant of founder Sam Walton.

Coughlin was a native of Cleveland, Ohio. He attended California State University, and earned a bachelor's degree in political science.

Early life
Coughlin grew up in Cleveland and was the son of a police detective. He attended St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio, a western suburb of Cleveland, and graduated in 1967. He graduated from California State University in 1972 and earned a bachelor's degree in political science. While attending Cal State, he played football.

Coughlin began his career with R. H. Macy's West Coast division as a store detective. After several years in various loss prevention positions with Cook United in Cleveland, Coughlin interviewed at Wal-Mart.

Career with Walmart
Coughlin began his career with the retailer in 1978 in the company's security division and eventually became vice president of loss prevention. He later became vice president of human resources. From January 1998 to January 1999, he was executive vice president and chief operating officer of the flagship Wal-Mart Stores Division. The next year, he headed the Wal-Mart Stores Division.

In January 2001, Coughlin was elected to the board of directors for ChoicePoint, a publicly traded data aggregation firm. That same year, he was elected to the Walmart board of directors. In August 2002, he was also given the title of CEO for Sam's Club USA. The following April, he became executive vice president and vice chairman of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

On December 6, 2004, Walmart announced that Coughlin would retire effective January 24, 2005. When Coughlin's retirement was announced, Walmart praised Coughlin for his longtime success at the corporation. Walmart CEO Lee Scott said in a company-issued press release, "Tom Coughlin has achieved one of the most successful business careers that anyone could imagine".

Walmart Chairman Rob Walton, added that "I particularly respect the special relationship that he has built with our associates in the field. This says a lot about how well Tom Coughlin represents the Walmart culture".

Legal troubles
In March 2005, Walmart announced that Coughlin had resigned from the board of directors as a result of an internal investigation. The investigation alleged that the use of corporate-owned gift cards and personal reimbursements estimated to be in the range of $100,000 to $500,000.

Beginning in July 2005, he was the subject of a United States Department of Justice investigation, as well as a lawsuit by Walmart, and was reviewed by a federal grand jury over misuse of company gift cards. When the charges first surfaced in April 2005, Coughlin claimed the money he embezzled was being used to pay bribes to trade union officials not to organize at Walmart locations and to identify pro-union Walmart workers.

He pleaded guilty to five counts of wire fraud and one count of filing a false tax return related to embezzlement and theft from Walmart while serving as a member of its board. U.S. Attorney Robert Balfe told reporters the investigation had found no evidence backing Coughlin's earlier claims that the money he took was reimbursement for anti-union activities.

Coughlin was sentenced on August 11, 2006, at Fort Smith, Arkansas, to 33 months in home detention after pleading guilty to stealing money, merchandise and gift cards from the retailer. He avoided any prison detention, but was ordered to serve five years probation, and pay a $50,000 fine and about $411,000 in restitution to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., and the Internal Revenue Service. He also was sentenced to 27 months of home detention.

A physician stated in court that Coughlin was in poor health, suffering from diabetes, cardiac disease, sleep apnea, arterial blockage, and other ailments.

Other lawsuits
Certain former Walmart employees filed lawsuits against Coughlin for their purportedly inadvertent roles in his embezzlement of Walmart funds. Former Administrative Manager Patsy Stephens deposited Walmart money into her personal bank account and then wrote checks for her immediate supervisor (Robert Hey), for Coughlin, and for cash. She claimed she thought these practices were for the benefit of the company. She was convicted on eight counts of wire fraud by a federal jury in November 2007.

Personal life
Coughlin was close friends and hunting companion to Walmart's founder, Sam Walton.

Coughlin died on April 1, 2016.

Randy MacDonald

Randy MacDonald (born July 26, 1962) is a Canadian stock car racer and a former competitor in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series. He is currently team owner of MacDonald Motorsports, which competes in the Nationwide Series. He is the older brother of former NASCAR racer Teri MacDonald.

Early career
Born in Oshawa, Ontario, MacDonald originally pursued a career in hockey, playing for the Bowmanville Eagles before changing his career path to stock car racing.

MacDonald began racing in his native Canada, and won the Canada ACT Series championship, before moving to North Carolina during the 1990s. He won the American Speed Association Rookie of the Year honors in 1993.

MacDonald made his NASCAR debut in 1986 at Oxford Plains Speedway, finishing 26th after his cooling fan expired. He ran one race apiece over the next few years, before posting his first career top-ten finish at the Goody's 300 in 1991. He ran two races apiece over the next two years in his own #01, his best finish being 16th at Daytona in 1993. After three finishes of 21st or better in 1994, he made his Winston Cup debut that year at North Carolina Speedway, finishing 24th in a car owned by Billy Hagan.

Mid 1990s
He only ran one race the next year, finishing 23rd at Watkins Glen. In 1996, he declared for NASCAR Winston Cup Rookie of the Year honors, and ran three races for Triad Motorsports, his best finish a 24th at Pocono Raceway, but was unable to make a serious challenge for the top Rookie honor. He also made his Craftsman Truck Series debut that year, finishing 30th at North Wilkesboro Speedway for Manison Motorsports.

In 1997, MacDonald debuted his Truck team at Homestead-Miami Speedway, finishing 25th after suffering mechanical failure. He ran ten races the next year for Dick Greenfield, MB Motorsports, and K Automotive Racing, posting an eighth-place run for Greenfield at Flemington Speedway. He also made his most recent attempt at a Cup race, when he missed the field at Martinsville in the #85 sponsored by Big Daddy's BBQ Sauce. He began 1999 hoping to run full-time with Greenfield, but sponsorship opportunities did not come through, and he ran three races with Marty Walsh and Rick Ware.

2000s
In 2000, MacDonald got sponsorship on his truck from 3M and was able to make his first full-time schedule in NASCAR, posting a sixth-place run at Daytona and finishing 19th in points. Unfortunately, MacDonald injured his neck during the next season, and was forced to sit out most of the year. MacDonald returned in 2002, and split the year between his own team and Troxell Racing, finishing 19th in points. He followed that up with another full-time bid in 2003, posting eleven top-20 runs and finishing a career-best 15th in points. He also made his return to the Busch Series, running five races and having a best finish of 22nd at Daytona.

In 2004, MacDonald made his last Truck race to date, finishing 21st at Daytona. He ran six more Busch races that year, posting a best finish of 24th at Pikes Peak. He made one start in 2005, and three in 2006, running twice for his own team and other for Jay Robinson Racing. In 2007, he made two starts, exiting both races with handling problems.

Team owner
In 2008, MacDonald switched from the driver's seat to the owner's box, running only 2 races himself. He fielded 26 races with DJ Kennington, getting a best finish of 22nd. Other drivers behind the wheel of the No. 81 in 2008 were Brad Baker, Bryan Clauson, Kevin Hamlin, Bobby Hillin, Jr., Shane Huffman, and PJ Jones. In 2009, 12 different drivers drove the MacDonald Motorsports No. 81. The best result for the team was a 13th-place result by Mike Bliss at Fontana. Michael McDowell became the main driver in 2010, starting 33 of 34 races for MacDonald and the team. Sponsors on the No. 81 included, Mobile-Shop, K-LOVE Radio, and Red Line Oil. MacDonald Motorsports No. 81 ended the year 31st in the owner's standings and McDowell was 21st in the driver's points. Blake Koch drove for the team in 2011; in 2012, American Majority joined as sponsor, with Jason Bowles driving the No. 81.

Maria Friedman

Maria Friedman ( Freedman; born 19 March 1960) is a British actress and director, best known for her work in musical theatre.

She is an eight-time Laurence Olivier Award nominee, winning three. Her first win was for her 1994 one-woman show, By Special Arrangement. She has also twice won Best Actress in a Musical for the original London productions of Passion and Ragtime.

She played Elaine Peacock on EastEnders from 2014 to 2017. In 2023 the role was recast with Harriet Thorpe taking over the role of Elaine.

Friedman was the narrator in the 1999 straight to video version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Early life
Maria Freedman was born in Switzerland, one of four children of Clair Llewelyn (née Sims), a concert pianist, and Leonard Friedman ( Freedman), a violinist for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Her younger sister is the theatre director and producer Sonia Friedman; other siblings are violinist Richard Friedman (now deceased) and Dr Sarah Beecham. Her father was from a Russian-Jewish immigrant family, whereas her mother is English. She began her education in Germany (where her family moved), and by the age of five moved with her family to England after the divorce of her parents.

Career
In 1989, she appeared in the lead female role of Hayyah in the play Ghetto by Joshua Sobol at the Olivier Theatre in London. In the following year she appeared in another Royal National Theatre production as Dot in Sunday in the Park with George by Stephen Sondheim.

She won an Olivier Award for her one-woman cabaret Maria Friedman By Special Arrangement and another Olivier Award (Best Actress in a Musical) in 1997 for starring in Sondheim's Passion. She appeared in Passion in the West End at the Queen's Theatre in 1996 as Fosca. She starred in Chicago in the West End at the Adelphi Theatre as Roxie starting in 1998.

In the 1999 film of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, she played the narrator. She played the role of Mother in the West End production of Ragtime at the Piccadilly Theatre starting in March 2003, winning the 2004 Olivier Award, Best Actress in a Musical.

In 2004, she originated the role of Marian Halcombe in Lloyd Webber's musical The Woman in White in the West End and on Broadway in 2005. As previews for The Woman in White started for the Broadway production, she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer and left the show to have surgery to have the lump removed. Less than a week after the surgery she returned to the stage for the previews and performed on the official opening night. She said she would begin radiation treatment for the cancer in December 2005. The Broadway production closed after only 109 performances on 22 February 2006, in part due to her and co-star Michael Ball's frequent absences due to illness. (Friedman had planned a six-week absence for further treatment, with Judy Kuhn to be her replacement, but remained for the duration of the run once the closing was announced.)

As well as other musical shows, Friedman participated in Hey, Mr. Producer!, the concert celebrating the works of Sir Cameron Mackintosh, in which she sang "You Could Drive a Person Crazy," "Broadway Baby," and "How Many Tears?" Similarly, she participated in Sondheim Tonight live at London's Barbican Centre, singing "Losing My Mind" (from Follies) and "More" (from the film Dick Tracy). She has also had several one woman shows: Maria Friedman – By Special Arrangement and Maria Friedman – By Extra Special Arrangement and has performed these in several top cabaret venues in both the UK (most recently at Trafalgar Studios) and New York City, including several engagements at the Café Carlyle. She can be heard on many cast recordings; and has released several solo albums including Maria Friedman, Maria Friedman Live, Now and Then, and Maria Friedman Celebrates The Great British Songbook. Friedman has won three Laurence Olivier Awards and been nominated for seven.

In 2010, Friedman appeared as a soloist in the BBC Proms tribute to Stephen Sondheim at the Royal Albert Hall, London. She sang the role of Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd opposite Bryn Terfel. In October 2014, Friedman joined the cast of EastEnders as Elaine Peacock, the mother of established character Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). She has since appeared in December 2014 and February to March 2015 to date, before returning for a three-month stint in September 2015.

Friedman has directed several musicals. Having previously appeared as an actor in a 1992 production of Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along, in 2012 she directed a revival of the musical, which started at the Menier Chocolate Factory and transferred to the West End at the Harold Pinter Theatre in April to July 2013. This production of Merrily We Roll Along subsequently ran at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston, Massachusetts starting in September 2017, directed by Friedman. An off-Broadway production of Merrily directed by Friedman based on her Menier Chocolate Factory staging premiered at the New York Theatre Workshop in 2022 and subsequently transferred to Broadway at the Hudson Theatre the following year. In 2015, she directed a revival of High Society at The Old Vic Theatre. The production was played in the round. She directed a revival of Stepping Out in the West End at the Vaudeville Theatre in 2017.

Friedman has two sons, one with director and writer Jeremy Sams and one with cameraman Oleg Poupko. She was married to dancer Roland Brine; her husband is Adrian Der Gregorian.

Graeme Goldsworthy

Graeme L. Goldsworthy (born 7 September 1934) is an Australian evangelical Anglican theologian specialising in the Old Testament and Biblical theology. His most significant work is a trilogy: Gospel and Kingdom, Gospel and Wisdom, and The Gospel in Revelation. Goldsworthy has authored several other books including According to Plan: The Unfolding Revelation of God in the Bible, and Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture. He holds a Master of Arts degree from the University of Cambridge in England, and Master of Theology and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, Virginia (now named Union Presbyterian Seminary).

Goldsworthy is best known for his motif of "God's people in God's place under God's rule." He has been influential across the world, but especially in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. Michael Jensen notes that, along with that of Donald Robinson and Bill Dumbrell, Goldsworthy's work "has been crucial for shaping how Sydney Anglicans think about and preach from the Bible." Eric Brian Watkins suggests that it has "done much to vitalize interest" in redemptive-historical preaching and hermeneutics. Goldworthy's approach heavily influenced The Big Picture Story Bible.

ultima 5
the song that plays on u5 amiga version is almost 1:1 to the intro of "one" except it's slightly more refined and suits the theme of the game better. the game appeared 1988 but the amiga port was published later so it's likely inspired by "one".

Description of the video = POV?
"Like many metal videos, 'One' puts a great deal of emphasis on the performance of the band members as musicians. However, unlike glam metal videos (such as Poison's 'Nothing But A Good Time') Metallica's performance does not present their performance as a fantastic spectacle filled with bright colors, stage antics, and live excitement. Instead, the video features the band members in a presumably abandoned warehouse, in tight formation around Lars Ulrich's drum kit, as if in rehearsal. Moreover, the many shots of the guitarists' left hands playing chords or riffs and Ulrich's hands or feet playing various drum techniques all work to present Metallica (and by extension Metallica's version of metal) as real musicians." This paragraph was removed by Arm as POV. I don't see the point for that. It's simply a description of the video. Yeah, the phrase "real musicians" is quite peacock and needs rewording, but deleting the whole paragraph seems a little bit excessive to me. (I'm simplily re-adding the first three sentences, until somebody finds a better way to express the last one.) --Army1987 17:31, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * "It shows many shots of the guitarists' left hands playing chords or riffs and Ulrich's hands or feet playing various drum techniques." It sounds like a good compromise. --Army1987 17:36, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

My use of the phrase "real musicians" was not intended to be peacock. I'm the last person with any interest in blindly celebrating Metallica. Still, the notion that Metallica's music was made by "real musicians" was (and is) a very important part of the band's own marketing, and it plays a major role in their success with metal fans. The video for "One" highlights the importance of "musicianship" as a cultural concept, and in the context of '80s MTV metal videos it's quite different than "Nothin' But A Good Time". It's that difference that I was trying to explain in the original bit. --Pillsbur 16:51, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Two of the three versions of the One music video appear on 2 of One
(That's got to be one of the funniest things I've heard in awhile) I just cleaned up the article, added a lot of information and a infobox. Justice album cover and a shot from the music video are on there two.

Description of One played live
There is no need of saying that song is played one semitone down becaose since load all of the songs played live are tuned one semitone down MetalCro 23:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

"One" a ballad?
Some idiot on "The Unforgiven" page called "One" a ballad. What think?
 * It's not quite a ballad, but it's much softer rock than Metallica's regular stuff. I'd call it progressive metal, since it starts out quiet and soft, and builds up overtime and is heavy and loud by the end.
 * --Rock Soldier 02:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I think it's a power ballad, but emphasis on the POWER. Silver The Slammer (talk) 14:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

"One" is, without a doubt, a ballad. It's reasonably slow (as per one definition), is 100% romantic (of, characterized by, or suggestive of an idealized view of reality; i.e., "One" is literally an anti-war song, you can't get much more romantic than that), its sentimentality can't be denied, and it tells a story (as per the other definition of 'ballad'). Kaolincash (talk) 12:22, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

A-G
The article says something about A-G chord thing. But I think some signature riff of the song is in B-G progression? Geminivenom 12:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Second that. First bar is B minor, second bar is G with a major 7th. Also, the article states that the song is in 6/8 time, which it isn't. The opening riff is in 4/4 (with a bar of 2 at 0:34 and 0:52); It goes into 3/4 when the acoustic guitars come in at 1:13; then goes back into 4 at 3:34. Not that changing time sigs is particularly unusual in this kind of music.Phosph (talk) 23:10, 27 December 2008 (UTC)phosph.

'Concept' Section
"One is based on war. The overall concept of the song is the pain people who are wounded in war go through, and how they wish it was a dream of which they could wake from and they'd be relieved. The song was also inspired by the movie 'Johnny Got his Gun.'"

Isn't the song DIRECTLY based off Johnny Got His Gun, and the BOOK, not the movie? It just seems like with their background of music based off literature, that's more likely. --George The Man (talk) 18:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

From What I Know
The concept is a soldier who lost most of his body. He couldn't see, speak, or hear. All he knew was pain. Hence the lines:

Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell

Helicopters?

Black & White?

Why it was their first music video
I'd love it if an editor could find a good source quoting the band, in the Master of Puppets (or before) time frame, about never wanting to make a music video. This site typically states that the band had never wanted to make a music video, but it's far from a reliable source, and doesn't discuss why (some combination of (a) MTV not wanting them, and (b) the band's rejection of "MTV mainstream crap"). As several of the band members have individually claimed, the mainstream moved toward them. If this can be sourced well, it deserves at least a brief mention in the Metallica article itself, and certainly also in ...And Justice for All (album). I'm having trouble finding a good source and I suspect the best source is going to be a physical copy of a metal magazine containing an interview from the Ride the Lightning or Puppets days. Comet Tuttle (talk) 17:37, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Art- how it borrows and says something abou the time
Written to stir the US in WWI, OVER THERE, by George M. Cohen was a classic nationalistic anthem. Then in 1939 just before the outbreak of WWII, the novel, Johney Got His Gun, was written to illistarte the hororrs of war. The original song was brought toa horrid conclusion. Then as the Vietnam War raged A film was made based on the book. Finally to bring the circle around Matalica created a rock classic based on the film, based on the book, which was written to answer a song. This is a great way to track US sentiment and art based on war i the modern era. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.24.48.83 (talk) 06:59, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

To make the connection more clear, the song OVER THERE starts with the line  "Johnny get your gun, get your gun, get your gun" PatConolly (talk) 07:05, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Song and Johnny Got His Gun
I've not been able to find any definitive cites, but I do remember distinctly seeing and hearing Ulrich speaking about the coincidence between One and Johnny Got His Gun (the book and movie). He, and I suppose Hetfield as he implied, wrote the song without ever knowing about the book or movie, until 'someone' mentioned it. I don't know if any part of the song was changed after they read the book or saw the movie.

Also, I remember well, someone in Metallica, or perhaps a narrator of some sort, mentioned that in order to get the film clips into the music video (or perhaps to get a "good deal"), the band purchased the film outright. I haven't found anything for a cite yet on that. Jimcripps (talk) 04:13, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

The story behind this is a bit contradictory; a lot of sources say that they purchased the entire movie for $1,000,000 US. "According to Metallica", the band purchased specific sections that they were to use in their music video. Unfortunately, the best source I have is "Metallifacts" from the video game Guitar Hero: Metallica. Styk0n (talk) 04:50, 3 June 2012 (UTC)Styk0n

The part in the "song" section which states time signature
I changed the statement saying the song changes in time signature, "from 4/4 to 3/4 to 2/2 (double time)" (not exact quote). Who the Hell wrote this? The song is standard 4/4 for the entire song, there is no section where it changes to 3/4, and 2/2 is half time, not "double time", as the person who wrote that, put it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Styk0n (talk • contribs) 09:24, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Umm ya dude you're completely wrong in every way. First, Wikipedia should change what the time signature is to something a little more complex. It starts out in 4/4 for 7 bars with a tagged 2/4 then another 7 bars then 2/4. Drums enter and its the same thing except the eighth bar has the same idea as those 2/4 bars but its doubled making it 4/4 and wait for it........... it goes into 3/4!!!! my god crazy huh? I'm not going into more details because there is some other stuff. O ya and 2/2 is known as cut time or double time. Half time is technically 8/8 but no one uses that. You might want to Wikipedia this since your here. Here is a tip, next time you listen to "one" you should try something new....count :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drumkid2370 (talk • contribs) 06:18, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

I agree this song is definitely not in 4/4 throughout the entire song. I went ahead and edited the section. I didn't go into much detail as this song changes time quite often. 24.5.215.41 (talk) 03:37, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Actually, 8/8 is, technically, "standard" time, because you're doubling both the number of notes per bar as well as the value of the note. It really is "double standard, twice" because of the reason I JUST stated. 2/2 is half time, because you are halving the number of notes per bar and halving their value. Think of it like this, 4/4 is "four notes per bar, and each note is to the value of a crotchet" so at 120 beats per minute, you should get 30 bars. Right? Now if you halve the number of notes per bar, you get 2/4, which means "two notes per bar, and each note is to the value of a crotchet", so then at 120 BPM you should get 60 bars. Now, if you halve the denominator you get 2/2, which means "two notes per bar, and each note is to the value of a half-note", as in, twice the length of a crotchet note. This means, however, that the beats per minute are now measured in the 2 denominator, which means that there are still 60 bars per minute. I do apologize for my misinterpretation of the original text, after hearing the song (in like six months) I've noticed that the general verse structure and chorus is a mix of 3/4 and 4/4. This isn't, however, as described in the original statement, as what I read was after the second chorus "the song changes from 4/4 to 3/4" which is, actually, the other way around. Styk0n (talk) 07:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Ok I am going to paint a picture for you on time signatures. Get some manuscript paper if you don't have any its the pages with the 5 lines on it in sections. take your pencil and write 4/4 on it; no key signature needed this is a drum chart (marked with two bar lines to the left of the time signature) write 4 quarter notes above the top line. Next draw a quarter note on the 2nd and 4th quarter note in the middle of the stave (usually note C in treble clef) Then write a quarter note on the first and 3rd quarter note on the bottom below the lowest line (D) the top notes represent the high hat the middle the snare and the bottom is the bass drum. Don't change the note value that's really what time signatures are for Now lets count! in 4/4 time there are 4 beats per measure and the QUARTER note obtains the beat (I will highlight the snare hits) ready?!?! ok...... 1 2 3 4 that is a simple rock rhythm ok lets do 8/8 or "double standard" I have no idea where you got that. There are 8 beats per measure yes its doubled but here's the kicker the 8th note gets the beat meaning it takes twice as long to fulfill the quarter notes since the 8th gets the beat. 2 8ths = 1 quarter lets count again since this is the true "half time" I will count again (I referred earlier this signature is rarely if not ever used since it is just exemplifying a feel on the drum kit. This is a half time feel in 4/4 signature (snare hit highlighted) 1 2 3 4 (repeat) in 8/8 I will count differently (remember don't change note values just the signature)                       1 2 3 4  5  6 7 8              beats 2, 4, 6 and 8 are not played at all because you are fulfilling 2 beats with the quarter notes remember two 8ths = 1 quarter. Now on to 2/2 (CUT TIME) once again do not change the note values just the signature. 2/2 means that there are two notes per measure and the HALF NOTE fulfills the beat that means the quarter notes you have only fulfills half of the beat (the half note) at this point you need to subdivide because you do not have a note that fulfills 1 beat in time that's where "and" comes from (i.e 1 + 2 +) let's count again in 2/2 ...... 1 and 2 and  using your 120 bpm theory use a metronome and thank me later or if you need more proof wiki half time and cut time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drumkid2370 (talk • contribs) 06:44, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

There seems to be some confusion out there about how the SD cards are to be formatted. The SD Card Association has official card formatting software. http://www.sdcard.org/Downloads.aspx. The software is free and includes a PDF manual in English and Japanese. The manual notes that "Generally, SD/SCHC Memory Card file systems with generic operating system formatting software do not comply with the SD Memory Card Specification. If you have formatted SD/SDHC Memory Card with generic operating system formatting software, reformat SD/SDHC Memory Card using this software or the appropriate formatting software prepared by the SD hosts provider, and is a ver compatible item to use." 67.169.225.3 04:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)ddevore

Andy Houston

Andrew Houston (born November 7, 1970) is an American stock car racing spotter and former driver. He is a veteran of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, scoring three wins.

Houston is the son of legendary Busch driver Tommy Houston and the youngest of three brothers, one of them being part-time NASCAR driver Marty Houston and the other being the oldest of the three, Scott Houston. He is also the cousin of former team owner Teresa Earnhardt. Houston has also raced in the Winston Cup Series and the Busch Series. Houston is married to wife Lorie and has two children, Collin (born in 1997) and Clark (born in 2001).

Early racing career
Houston won Hickory Motor Speedway's Late Model Championship in 1994, and, in 1996, he won the Goody's Dash Series Most Popular Driver Award.

Cup Series
2000 marked Houston's first start in the Winston Cup Series as he competed in five races to prepare for his 2001 rookie campaign with PPI Motorsports. Out of the five races his best finish would come at Lowe's Motor Speedway, a 26th. Houston began the year 2001 well with a 9th-place qualifying effort at the Daytona 500 in the No. 96 McDonald's Ford. It would be one of the highlights of the year, as Houston ended the year with no Top 10's and a best finish of 17th at Martinsville; Houston only managed to qualify for 17 races and his team folded after McDonald's pulled its sponsorship late in the season. He has not returned to the Cup Series since.

Busch Series
Houston made his Busch Series debut in 1996 driving the No. 0 Suburban Propane Ford at Indianapolis Raceway Park. He would start the race in the 21st position and finish in the 24th position, five laps down. He returned to the series in 1998 to make another start this time at Hickory Motor Speedway in the No. 50 Dr Pepper Ford. He would start the race in 7th and finish 20th. In 2000, Houston made one start for Team SABCO and brought the No. 82 Channellock Chevrolet home in the 36th position at the Milwaukee Mile. For the 2002 season, Houston was supposed to run the whole season with the Herzog-Jackson Motorsports team, but was released and replaced by Todd Bodine after Las Vegas Due to "performance issues". His best finish with the team was a 9th at Daytona.

Truck Series
In 1997, Houston made his first Craftsman Truck Series start with Addington Racing. He would compete in four races for the team with a best finish of 11th at Martinsville. For the 1998 season, he returned to Addington Racing and ran full-time in the Truck Series. Houston would have a solid year winning his first race at New Hampshire International Speedway and posting 9 Top 10's, while finishing 12th in points. Houston again returned to Addington Racing for the 1999 season and he scored 14 Top 10's with an 8th-place finish in points. 2000 was a breakout year for Houston, as he won two races at Homestead and Portland, had 13 Top 5's, and 18 Top 10's, finishing 3rd in points to Roush Racing teammates Greg Biffle and Kurt Busch. He returned to the series in 2002 with Melling Racing where he ran one race at South Boston Speedway. After that Billy Ballew Motorsports hired him to run the remainder of 2002. He would post a best finish of 12th at California out of the five races he competed in. In 2003, Houston was still running races for Billy Ballew and Nelly when Vokal became his primary sponsor, until Billy ran out of money to run two trucks. Ballew kept Rich Bickle, leaving Houston without a ride. Later that year, Ultra Motorsports gave him a truck ride and he did very well, finishing no worse than tenth and earned a pole at Texas Motor Speedway. For the 2004 season, he continued driving for Ultra Motorsports until he was released after the race at Bristol. Andy's best finish with the team that year was a 7th at Dover. For the remainder of 2004 with the exception of Richmond, Houston raced with multiple teams, but with limited success. In 2005, he only ran one race with Key Motorsports at Bristol Motor Speedway, finishing 33rd after a crash in his final NASCAR race.

Post-racing career
Following his racing career, Houston worked as a spotter for other drivers; he worked with Richard Childress Racing, spotting for Austin Dillon in the Nationwide Series in the early 2010s, moving up with Dillon to the Sprint Cup Series in 2014. He left Dillon's team after the 2019 season. He announced in November 2019 on Twitter that he would spot for Cole Custer for the 2020 season in Custer's rookie campaign. He also spotted for Ryan Preece in 2023. He will now be spotting for Noah Gragson in 2024.

Floodgate

Floodgates, also called stop gates, are adjustable gates used to control water flow in flood barriers, reservoir, river, stream, or levee systems. They may be designed to set spillway crest heights in dams, to adjust flow rates in sluices and canals, or they may be designed to stop water flow entirely as part of a levee or storm surge system. Since most of these devices operate by controlling the water surface elevation being stored or routed, they are also known as crest gates. In the case of flood bypass systems, floodgates sometimes are also used to lower the water levels in a main river or canal channels by allowing more water to flow into a flood bypass or detention basin when the main river or canal is approaching a flood stage.

Valves

Valves used in floodgate applications have a variety of design requirements and are usually located at the base of dams. Often, the most important requirement (besides regulating flow) is energy dissipation. Since water is very heavy, it exits the base of a dam with the enormous force of water pushing from above. Unless this energy is dissipated, the flow can erode nearby rock and soil and damage structures.

Other design requirements include taking into account pressure head operation, the flow rate, whether the valve operates above or below water, and the regulation of precision and cost.

 * Fixed cone valves are designed to dissipate the energy from a water flow during reservoir discharge. They are a round pipe section with an adjustable sleeve gate and cone at the discharge end. Flow is varied by moving the sleeve away or towards its cone seat. The design allows high pressure water from the base of a dam to be released without causing erosion to the surrounding environment. Fixed cone valves are able to handle heads up to 300 m.
 * Hollow jet valves are a type of needle valve used for floodgate discharge. A cone and seat are inside a pipe. Water flows through an annular gap between the pipe and cone when it is moved downstream, away from the seat. Ribs support the bulb assembly and supply air for water jet stabilization.
 * Ring jet valves are similar to fixed cone valves, but have an integral collar that discharges water in a narrow stream. They are suitable for heads up to 50 m.
 * Jet flow gate, similar to a gate valve but with a conical restriction prior to the gate leaf that focuses the water into a jet. They were developed in the 1940s by the United States Bureau of Reclamation to allow fine control of discharge flow without the cavitation seen in regular gate valves. Jet flow gates are able to handle heads up to 150 m.

Physics
The force on a rectangular flood gate can be calculated by the following equation:

 * $$\ F = pA$$

where:
 * F = force measured in newtons (N)
 * p = pressure $$= \rho g h\,$$ measured in pascal (Pa)
 * where:
 * ρ is the density of fresh water (1000 kg/m3);
 * g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (9.8 m/s2 );
 * h is the height of the water column in metres.
 * A = area = rectangle: length × height measured in m2
 * where:
 * length = the horizontal length of a rectangular floodgate measured in metres
 * height = the height of a non-submerged flood gate from the bottom of the water column to the water surface measured in metres

If the rectangular flood gate is submerged below the surface the same equation can be used but only the height from the water surface to the middle of the gate must be used to calculate the force on the flood gate.

The current state of the article
This article needs to be completely rewritten from scratch. The introduction should be longer and should feature a one-line summary of the film's plot. Also, there should be an extensive overview of the film's plot, and there should be a section on how the film was received by critics, and quotes about the film from critics with opposing points of view (I.E., a critic who hated the film and a critic who praises the film), followed up by a section on how well the film did at the box office. This isn't a Wikipedia article. This is a skeleton of a Wikipedia article. Someone needs to fill in the gaps. Also, on section headers, only the first word should be capitalized, unless a specific name is mentioned in the header. For instance, "Main characters and plot" instead of "Main Characters & Plot."

Seinfeld Episode "The Pool Guy"
Is there a connection of any kind between the seinfeld episode "The Pool Guy" and the motion picture "Cable Guy"? In neither of the articels I could find a reference to the other. If this is a coincidence, it's a VERY big one, considering the parallels in the title, the plot and the look of the pool guy who really resembles Jim Carrey. With his jacket he looks like Jim Carey in "Dumb and Dumber". I already checked the "Behind the Scenes" stuff on the Seinfeld Season 7 DVD and the adio commentary, that says it is based on a real story of a guy at the health club being just "too friendly". However there are a few facts against that theory. As mentioned in "Behind the Scenes", at first the pool guy character should have been played by another actor (Danny Hoch) featurung a Latino accent and who most problably didn't look like Jim Carey. The most peculiar thing though is, that Cable Guy was released in June of 1996 and the TV episode was produced spring the same year. So there isn't really a time window to sneak a peak on each other. That may be more true for the motion picture, which takes more time. On the other hand, inside information from that movie would have been necessery to produce an episode imitating it.

Turning a profit
Why is this movie, and many others, credited for "turning a profit?" Does that have anything to do with a movie being good or not? The reason this movie turned a profit to begin with is because people liked Carrey's previous work in Ace Ventura and The Mask so they went to see this one, only to be let down. If "turning a profit" is the only good thing we can say about it, should we even say anything at all or just fess up that the movie sucked (which it did)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.136.119.123 (talk • contribs).

 * The article still doesn't have reliable sources to back up claims that it was profitable. Hollywood accounting makes it very difficult to make any claims about a film being profitable.

Aren't we past this idea that liking Star Trek is something to be ashamed or embarrassed about at this point? 2A02:C7E:580D:C400:3062:1878:FC5C:80C1 (talk) 19:09, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

User:Alterego/sandbox/List of people who have said they are a god

The list of people who have said they are a god is divided into two parts. The first contains those who have made unequivocal statements about being a god, while the second contains those whose statements are considered ambiguous and debateable, or where the person's historicity is uncertain.

An asterisk (*) indicates they have a significant amount of followers, while a double dagger (&) marks those who became the focus of a religion.

Unsourced statements in this article
Numerous - "About 98% of the energy used by incandescent lighting is wasted in heat." "Many towns/cities still have their MV streetlights in operation, though they're slowly being replaced by HPS lamps. Debates still rage whether this is truly a wise move given the maintenance cost and quality issues of HPS lighting." "Many prefer the blue-white light of the MV lamp to the orange-yellow light of the HPS lamp." "There has also been a noted issue with the lamps "exploding/shattering" during a failure."

I'm sure there are others. I think these kind of assertions should be backed up by a source.

Are we sure about anytown
So on Jeopardy Tournament of Champions they said that Wabash,Indiana was the first with street lights what's the real truth--Avocado42o 06:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

137.79.203.92 (talk) 20:14, 28 November 2018 (UTC)I think I dispute that claim. This article states "Wabash became the "First Electrically Lighted City in the World" as a flood of light engulfed the town from four Brush Lights mounted atop the courthouse". Wabash appears to be the first electrically lighted city, but not by street lights.

Lighting catalog
I've removed a very long illustrated list of light fixtures that appears to have nothing in particular to do with the history of street lighting in the United States - it's just a sort of a catalog or field guide to modern luminaires, and is entirely unsourced. It would be an obvious candidate for transfer to a lighting enthusiasts' wiki, if one exists, but it is at odds with normal Wikipedia practice.  Acroterion   (talk)   15:27, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks you User:Acroterion. I didn't believed that this list of fixtures, is also non-encyclopedic things. This article long suffered for non-encyclopedic content that the American lighting community leaved, that I've removed or corrected as well. זור987 (talk) 15:37, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Is there a way to retrieve those photos and the model names of the lamps? I can't find that amount of information anywhere on the internet, I'm very interested in keeping all that catalog 170.246.157.110 (talk) 21:32, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm erased more sections that don't looks like part of the history of the street lighting in the United States. I think that this big article should be purposed for deletion. זור987 (talk) 15:28, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced that deletion is necessary, but trimming and sourcing are still needed. It developed as a little walled garden, apparently intended to feed an off-site enthusiast site, and it needs to be brought into line with regular WP practice via sources.

Compact fluorescent lamp - some information is incorrect
Reading the CFL section I find that some of the information is incorrect or at least based on partial information.

First is the efficiency, which is mentioned as "high", but compared to other street lightning sources, e.g. HPS or MH it is mediocre and significantly lower than modern LED or old monochromatic LPS.

The other issue is related to light properties, article mentions Ra of around 85 and color temperature of 3000K. Both vary greatly between particular CFLs, one can get CFL in range of around 2500K to 8000 K and Ra while usually around 80 it may be significantly lower especially in low quality CFL's Mibars (talk) 13:18, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Do-si-do

Do-si-do is a dance move in squaredancing where two partners who are facing each other go around each other before returning to their starting positions.

Description
It is a circular movement where two people, who are initially facing each other, walk around each other without or almost without turning, i.e., facing in the same direction (same wall) all the time. In most cases it takes 6–8 counts to complete.

The movement is basically defined by as follows:

 * dancers advance and pass right shoulders,
 * without turning each dancer moves to the right passing in back of the other dancer. At this moment the partners face away from each other,
 * then moving backwards dancers pass left shoulders returning to starting position.

The actual steps vary in specific dances.

Considering the amount of space in which to accomplish the figure, the partners might adjust their shoulders slightly diagonally to allow for less sideways movement during the shoulder passes.

The advancing pass may also be by the left shoulders, although it may be called as a "left do-si-do", "see-saw", "do-si-don't", or "reverse do-si-do".

While executing this move, women may move their skirts with their hands from side to side (skirtwork), flaring it to the right as right shoulders pass, and to the left as left shoulders pass. Men may decide to place their arms on top of each other, in a style very similar to Russian folk dancing.

Spelling usage by different dances
The term is a corruption of the original French term dos-à-dos for the dance move, which means "back to back", as opposed to "vis-à-vis" which means "face to face".

Do-si-do is the most common spelling in modern English dictionaries and is the spelling used in contra dance, sometimes without hyphens. A related variant is do-se-do.

In modern western square dancing, the usual spelling is Dosado which is the closest to the original French form as it’s pronounced in French [Dozado] (used by Callerlab, the largest international association of square dance callers) or DoSaDo (used by the American Callers Association).

Dos-a-dos is still in current use in some dances.

In English country dance and other British dance forms, it is known as the "back to back".

Styling
Styling traditions, or the addition of flourishes to a basic step, tend to be local, and not all dancers like to do styling, but nevertheless a common styling done to the dosado is the "Hungarian Swing" or "Highland Fling" styling. This addition to the basic step is accomplished as follows:
 * The two people, who are initially facing each other, step forward as if they will pass each other by the right shoulder (as in a normal Dosado), but they stop momentarily when they are right hip-to-right hip
 * They stretch right arms across each other and place right hands on each other's waist, simultaneously they lift left arms up with left hands above their own heads, in what is perceived as a "Highland Fling" position
 * They pivot around 360° together, rotating on the balls of their inner feet
 * They release hand holds and lower arms into a neutral stance, and adjust slightly backwards so they are facing each other

Even with styling the move should take no longer to execute than a normal Dosado.

In contra dance it is common for experienced dancers to embellish the move by making one or more counterclockwise turns as they go around the other dancer.

Dosado variations
The Dosado can also be fractionalized—$1⁄4$ Dosado results in the active dancers standing side-by-side right hip-to-right hip, $1⁄2$ Dosado results in the active dancers standing back-to-back, and $3⁄4$ Dosado results in the active dancers standing side-by-side left hip-to-left hip. When standing side-to-side the dancers join adjacent hands palm-to-palm to make a mini-wave (in the case of two people), an ocean wave (in the case of three-six people), or a tidal wave (in the case of eight people).

A Dosado $1 1⁄2$ would be a full (or normal) Dosado and an additional $1⁄2$ Dosado, resulting in the dancers standing back-to-back. Dosado variants are often considered entertaining "gimmicks".
