Image Tagging Image:Mm30.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mm30.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

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

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

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Manchester12.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:Manchester12.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 23:28, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

WAPE-FM

WAPE-FM (95.1 MHz "The Big Ape") is a commercial FM radio station in Jacksonville, Florida. It is owned by Cox Radio and airs a Top 40 (CHR) radio format. Its transmitter is located in Downtown Jacksonville, off Gator Bowl Boulevard. The studios and offices are located on Central Parkway in Jacksonville's Southside section.

WAPE's effective radiated power is 100,000 watts. WAPE is licensed for HD Radio operations but currently has no secondary channel.

History
In 1949, the station first signed on as WJAX-FM, the FM counterpart to WJAX. The two stations were owned by the City of Jacksonville. They simulcasted their programming, and were NBC Radio Network affiliates. WJAX-FM originally ran at only 7,700 watts, a fraction of its current power. Through the 1950s and 60s, WJAX-AM-FM carried a full service middle of the road music format.

Around 1970, WJAX-FM switched to an album rock format. In the 1970s, WJAX-FM got a power boost to its current 100,000 watts, able to cover Jacksonville and its growing suburbs, from Southeast Georgia down to St. Augustine and Gainesville.

From the mid-1970s until 1986, WJAX-FM was successful as an urban contemporary station. In March 1986, it flipped to a Top 40/urban hybrid format (also known as "CHUrban", which would be the forerunner to what is now rhythmic contemporary) as WAPE-FM under their brand new moniker "Power 95 WAPE". WAPE-FM is the second outlet in Jacksonville to use the call sign and format, which was originally on the AM band at 690 kHz. WAPE-FM was Jacksonville's dominant hit music station from the mid 1980s to the early 1990s.

In 1993, the station's CHUrban format and "Power 95" branding were replaced with a Hot AC format as "WAPE 95.1, Today's Best Music with No Rap or Hard Rock". In 1997, WAPE returned to their Top 40/CHR roots as "95.1 WAPE".

In 1998, the station was bought by Capstar, Inc., a forerunner of iHeartMedia, Inc. In 2000, WAPE-FM was acquired by Atlanta-based Cox Radio.

Past air personalities
Some of WAPE's alumni, from both AM 690 and FM 95.1, include Jay Thomas, Douglas "The Greaseman" Tracht, Cleveland Wheeler, Honest John, Mark "The Unknown DJ" Driscoll, Kandy Klutch, Hoyle Dempsey, Marjorie "Marge Fizzy" Lou, Tommy Murphy, Ross Earl, JJ The Night Guy, Tony Mann, Mark "Mark The Shark" Fisher, Billy Goat, Chase Daniels, Jay Styles, Dave O, The Tin Man, Dani, Steve Sutton, Christopher "Trane On The Radio" Trane, Patricia "Pat" Harrison, Just Jim, Aaron Daniels, Dino, Gregory Tanner, CC Rider, Miss Lara, Spoon, Amadeus, Eden Kendall, Michael Knight, Russ The Hammer, Cadillac Jack, with Billy "Wild Bill" Miller, and Cliff Hall Jr.

Sally Forth
JLa: Sorry, I didn't know that about "moving" but read it yesterday. The problem was that both titles were identical, both were same form (comic strip) and both were in book collections. I felt the label (syndicated strip) would clarify, since Wood's strip was not syndicated. I did make sure to put a link to Howard's strip in the first Wood paragraph, so people could easily find. I also checked "what links here" and reworked every link to go to the Howard strip. The problem with the "history" was just something that unfortunately never occurred to me.

If you had looked at the discussion page you would have seen that Chesnutt is a quadriplegic, not paraplegic. Thanks, Christianjb 00:43, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * And if you had followed the edit history correctly, you would have seen that edit was made by 69.224.7.168 and not me. Thanks, -- JLaTondre 00:49, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Please accept my apologies! Sorry for the annoyance. Christianjb 00:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I see what I did- I clicked the last comparison link and then clicked on the username associated with previous, not next edit. Sorry again. Christianjb 00:59, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * No problem. As I re-read what I wrote, it comes off a bit harsh which wasn't my intent... -- JLaTondre 01:08, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I'd be happy to except that now that it's on Afd, I'd rather wait for the Afd to close out. You'll learn the tools soon enough. Don't worry about it. You're intent was correct in both creating and Afd'ng the article. -- JLaTondre 16:29, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

good job, and thank you. will you be finishing the page? Infinare 00:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Your welcome. I use the List of common misspellings list to search for common misspelled words. When I find one, I spell check that entire page. I then move on to the next word on the list. So, unless another word pops up on that page, I probably won't return to it. -- JLaTondre 02:18, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank You (reverting vandalism)
Thanks for catching and reverting the vandalism to my user page. -- JLaTondre 03:17, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi
I just rvv an edit by 81.153.149.255 and when I checked history to make sure I saw that is was reverted by you. What vandal fighting tool are you using because your are good!-- Dak ota     ?     e   02:42, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but I'm not using anything special. I use the list of recent edits, but filtered for anonymous edits only and then go through each one. To revert, I use Godmode-lite. It was probably just coincidence that we saw the same thing, but my revert completed before yours. -- JLaTondre 02:51, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio?
Hi. Why did you mark Pete Gross as a copyvio? I discussed the issue with the writer and he assured me that he would rewrite the article from scratch, and although there are some similarities with the content originally copyvioed, it seems to have been largely rewritten. It also now links to the source that it originally copyvioed. I don't think there's a problem here and I've re-added the content with a bit of rewriting to eliminate some similarities. Deco 01:42, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops, I forgot the page isn't supposed to be edited yet. Let me fix it. Deco 01:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, since rewrites are supposed to be at the indicated temporary page, the copyvio notices states that an admin will move the re-write in place after review, and an IP user is not an admin, my assumption was that someone was violating the policy. Especially since, Pete Gross was still listed at WP:CP. I'm glad to see that wasn't the case. Thank's for clarifying it. -- JLaTondre 02:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * My mistake - I've copy-pasted the content to Pete Gross/Temp and I'll leave it there for a couple days. I'm an admin, so I'll move it back to Pete Gross on the 23rd, deleting the page there. Deco 02:12, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * No problem. I only noticed it from checking anonymous edits for vandalism. If it wasn't anonymous, I probably would have assumed good faith and let it go or at the most posted a question to the user's talk page. -- JLaTondre 02:26, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
For revrting vandalism to my user page. :)--Shanel 12:37, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. -- JLaTondre 20:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

207.6.232.203

 * Stop following me
 * I do not like you
 * MIND your own bussiness yanke doudle
 * The above unsigned comments (reformated to reduce space on page) came from 207.6.232.203 after I reverted their vandalism. I find them rather amusing. -- JLaTondre 00:15, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

I believe in keeping discussions intact
Except when the discussion might be critical of Wikipedia.
 * The above unsigned comment came from 172.160.151.73. I'm guessing this is in reference to me reverting your additions to Andros 1337's page. Comments belong on a user's talk page and not on a user's page. If you were seriously trying to communicate with Andros 1337, then you should have put it on this talk page and not vandalised his user page. -- JLaTondre 00:15, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

reversions of CROOK page
The QUOTE that President Nixon made was, "I'm not a crook" with the contraction.....and NOT "I am not...." as stated in the aticle. This can be heard at: http://www.earthstation1.com/pgs/history/dos-I'm_not_a_crook_speech.wav.html   Please explain why my minor correction was reverted to an version that is NOT accurate!? I thought that accuracy was important? Perhaps you assumed that I must be wrong?? The quote can be CLEARLY heard on the sound bite....and yet you revert to an incorrent version?? Braaad 15:38, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * You made an anonymous edit without an edit description or including a reference. There is a reason for including both. Without it, it is hard to distiguish corrections from vandalism. However, my reversion was actually related to the link to the speech. That is an inappropriate place for it. It should be under Richard Nixon not this page. An acceptable way to do it on this page, would be to include it as a reference after the quote such as "I'm not a crook." Also, using a direct link to the speech such as the one I just used would be better (plus this one is shorter so you get to the relevant part faster). -- JLaTondre 15:57, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining it to me.....I'm new to Wikipedia. Braaad 20:41, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

reverting
Hi - Re this edit - you don't seem to be an admin so I assume you're using some add-on interface that gives you a "rollback" sort of function. Please don't use this to revert anything other than blatant vandalism. In particular, this edit doesn't look like vandalism to me. Sources for the deleted statements are not provided, so in some ways this seems to be a perfectly valid edit. With a manual revert, you could explain in your edit summary why you're adding the statements back (or, even better, include a source in the change itself). In any event, thanks for watching out for bad edits - it's definitely a good thing to do. -- Rick Block (talk) 19:13, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Focus on the Family is a prominant Christian right group and is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. If you look at the Colorado Springs article, you will see that it is stated as having "attracted a large influx of Evangelical Christians and organizations" and then proceeds to list them. While the 2004 population numbers are not sourced, the sources given for the 2000 census show a foriegn population of 8.6% -- so 9.7% for 2004 doesn't seem unreasonable. Therefore, the Christian statement is sourced via internal links and the census data is at least possible. I do think if this wasn't outright vandalism, it was POV pushing. I wouldn't have reverted on the population numbers alone, but since I know the Christian portion to be true, I had to also call in doubt the population deletions. Personnally, I believe unexplained deletions to be a bigger problem then unexplained additions. The additions are there for everyone to see who reads the article. The deletions are only there for those who look in the history which isn't many so it's more likely that valid information will be lost than invalid information kept. I'll keep in mind what you say about the summary, but my summary probably would have been "unexplained deletion" (since the whole logic I just explained wouldn't fit) which wouldn't have added much more. I also don't know that we'd agree on blatant vandalism. -- JLaTondre 00:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of vanity articles
Hi. So you quoted "Only those articles where there is no remotely plausible assertion of notability should be considered for Wikipedia:Speedy deletion." So to put Chris Davison on AFD, it's not enough that the article should just assert notability, e.g. he is important, but it should at least be remotely plausible. For the not remotely plausible stuff, you can speedy it. Which is what I said in my response. If you think the article gave at least a plausible reason for notability, we'll have to disagree on that. But the point of my comments was to explain it's not just an assertion of notability, as your quote and the rest of Deletion of vanity articles makes clear. --C S (Talk) 02:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The article claims that he is "considered one of the most gifted mathematicians of his generation". That is unlikely, but not implausible. I suppose if one travels in mathematical circles and has never heard of him, it would be implausible to them. But for those of us that don't, we can only say it's unlikely. I agree that claims that are not remotely plausible are speediable, but we probably have different opinions on "remotely plausible". A speedy could result in the deletion of valuable input if the nominator and adminstrator simply don't have enough information about a specific field and they apply the "plausible" too liberally. I have seen AfDs that start with several delete votes and along comes someone who says "hold on, here's what you missed." The totality of that article does say delete to me (obviously, since I nominated it), but I rather be conservative. -- JLaTondre 02:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your explanation. Why I find the whole thing highly implausible is other than that claim at the beginning of being "most gifted", there really is nothing that I would consider worthy evidence.  I feel if someone is really so great, the article creator should be more than capable of adding at least one significant accomplishment of some sort, whether that be being professor at a prestigious place, winning some award, some mathematical results, even being (lame-o!) associated somehow to a famous person.  As you can see, I'm not setting a high standard here.  The fact that some article that looks like a vanity article makes a grand, vague claim at the beginning of "most gifted" doesn't really raise any doubt whatsoever in my mind.  In fact, it makes me even more skeptical than usual.  I can understand your conservatism, but I think in the end, if someone is important enough, s/he'll be included by someone who knows enough to say something about the person.  So I tend to be less conservative :-)  BTW, I liked the formatting and color of your talk box above, so I copied it. --C S (Talk) 03:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. I based the box on what other people had so I can't take credit for it. -- JLaTondre 20:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: gas phase ion chemistry
You wrote: I randomly picked your name from editors on a chemistry article. I was going through the 0 length pages at Special:Shortpages and correcting the blanking I found. However, on the article Gas phase ion chemistry, I'm not sure what to do. An anom user blanked the article, but what was there solely consisted of "Gas phase ion chemistry is the study of gaseous ion particles". I could mark it was a dictdef, but was wondering if this should be redirected instead. Are should it be made a stub? I would appreciate your opinion or a suggestion of who else to ask. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 00:38, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I think there is potential for a short article here, but not with the current state of the chemistry pages. No point in having gas phase (ion) chemistry if there is no condensed phase chemistry and a number of other similar concepts.

Thanks for the redirect re: Empirical Process. I just did not know what to do. What did you do? It was elegant. Thanks again. MathStatWoman 10:43, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The instructions are at Redirect per my note. There is also a shortcut for entering the correct syntax in the "special chracters" section of the edit page (below the save, preview, and show changes buttons). -- JLaTondre 14:43, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Benjamin T. Brockman
I removed your tag from this article. The contributor does have a reference for this material in his References section. He provided it in response to what appeared to be a copyright issue (see talk page). The reference section simply needs to be formatted correctly (along with the whole article). -- JLaTondre 12:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry: you're right. I was skimming a bunch of articles for cleanup and mistakenly read the description as only giving more information on the regiment, rather than Brockman himself.
 * Still, I think other Brockman family material does need looking at; some of the sourcing isn't up to WP:Verifiability standards (i.e. personal correspondence and unpublished work). Tearlach 13:57, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Probably. I also think it couldn't hurt to have a general clean-up tag applied as the whole article could use improvement. -- JLaTondre 23:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia New Pages
Was wondering why you nominated the new pages redirest page for deletion. I use it all the time and the nomination has become a major annoyance in trying to reach where I believe the page was very effective in directing me. I don't believe the nomination served Wikipedia for the better at all, as the pages served a VERY useful function and purpose - and was a logical path towards the pages on which new articles appear. Westendorf 21:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a cross-namespace redirect (see #3 of When should we delete a redirect). If you want to access Recent changes patrol (since New pages is itself a redirect), why don't you just bookmark that instead of trying to get to it via the article namespace? Article namespace is supposed to be for articles and not internal Wikipedia workings. -- JLaTondre 23:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

 * No problem. It happens to all of this. -- JLaTondre 12:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

PS. I am a big proponent of eliminating links to redirect pages, and those include links on user pages and in user talk pages. I try to get as many as I can when I do a move or just get int he mood to check a page's redirects. If you find any more idiocies of mine regarding redirect pages, could you please not link to it in my talk page. Thanks! LA
 * On this, we'll just have to disagree. I believe if the redirect is under discussion then the redirect is what should be linked. For example, WP:RFD would be pretty inconvienent if links to redirect were not used. -- JLaTondre 12:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree to disagree. :)
 * The only reason to leave a redirect is for those who are new and searching without any idea of the structure here. I change links in articles, but I won't ask for a redirect to be deleted.
 * I am now a bit tired, so if this doesn't make sense, sorry.

Re SRG SSR idée suisse redirects
Hi JLaTondre! Yes, I've been going through the SRG SSR idée suisse redirects because some of them are totally unnecessary now, as Wikipedia searches aren't case sensitive anymore, and I seem to remember that one of them existed in duplicates as well. So I started to check which links went to which redirect and changed them to point to the article directly. The reason I I left the comments was that I planned to revisit them when the redirects were finished and then ask for deletion. Best regards. Thomas Blomberg 23:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Page Blanking
On 24-Jan, you blanked Sogndalen. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. In cases of creating an article under a misspelling, it's better to redirect the misspelling to the correct article. You are probably not the only one who will make that spelling mistake. I've redirected this article to Songdalen. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 01:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed on my page. Promised a more extensive response at JLaTondre's page. That response is - how does one redirect? I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to redirect after filling in a link only to realize that the link was a typo & the right page already existed. Williamborg 03:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I provided a link to the directions in my first post. They are at Redirect. If you still have questions, let me know. -- JLaTondre 13:33, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Just wondering...
Hello. Sorry to disturb you with this, but I'm a bit curious how you view this: Articles for deletion/Wild levitation.

I'm still a bit new here, and I'm not quite sure I've understood the purpose of the Wikipedia yet --TStone 21:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't worry about disturbing someone via their talk page. That's what it's there for. They can always choose to ignore it if they don't want to deal with it.
 * For alternate titles, it's easier to simply redirect them to an article by the most common name. There should not be duplicate content, but it doesn't need to be deleted either. A redirect puts little burden on the system and, even if uncommon, the odds are more than one person will use that term so the redirect could actually be usefull. In a case like this, the best course is simply to restore the redirect (like you first did). You could try commenting on the user's talk page. With an anonymous contributor, sometimes it better simply to wait a few days and come back and make the change again. They'll probably move on after awhile. That sounds cynical, but it's better than getting into an edit war. There are anonymous contributors who make valuable inputs so you should assume good faith, but you should also be wary as an edit war with an anonymous contributor can start pretty fast. Patience and your watchlist are sometimes your best friends. -- JLaTondre 01:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * One thing I forgot: While there may be 30-40 variant names by which this is known, it's not totally unreasonable simply to have a list of verifiable (I imagine this would cut the list down significantly) names without many details (likes the ones listed already) as part of the Balducci levitation article. Sometimes listcruft is a necessary compromise. -- JLaTondre 01:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the advice! Yes, as the one who did the revert said Nobody cares about "history" or "origins" for tricks, really. We want to know the details, I assumed that it just would become a revert war of it. I'm going to add to the list, but first priority is to correct false information already here - which is quite tricky, as the notion of having correct info seems to make people upset. --TStone 08:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Cursor Miner

 * Hiya, you edited Cursor Miner so the article is indexed under "Miner, Cursor" instead, but I think it should probably be listed under "Cursor Miner", since that is his artist name, and not his real name, so there is no suggestion of family names or anything like that. Similarly, Aphex Twin wouldnt be indexed as "Twin, Aphex". If you agree I'll revert it? Cheers! Jdcooper 15:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Tags on Three Component Meal
Hello,

I was responsible for putting a bunch of tags on this article in an attempt to get it cleaned up. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought the article might just be better served by being deleted.

So I AfD'd it.

Then someone came along and put a boilerplate that said 'This article has too many boilerplate tags on it'. Which I agreed with. But I didn't want to AfD an article and then blank something that'd been there before I AfD'd it. That appears improper. So I moved those tags to the talk page instead. Letting you know, just so you don't think I'm a total nitwit. - ikkyu2 ( talk ) 05:06, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. I was going to put the tags inside a   to avoid them being expanded, but that "too many boilerplate tags" one was a box and so that would have shown the code. I decided it was easier to just delete them.
 * I actually find the "too many boilerplate tags" tag rather annoying. If someone believes there's too many tags, then they should re-tag the article as they see appropriate and not add to the "problem". -- JLaTondre 13:49, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I have no idea. You would have to take that up with the person who redirected it (check the page history). If you disagree, feel free to find a different redirect, replace it with a stub article, or nominate the redirect for deletion. Each of those can be a valid choice and avoids leaving a blank page.

Re:Page Blanking & Redirects
"On 21-Feb, you blanked Japanese Touring Car Championship. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I have redirected this article to All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship. If you believe the page should be deleted, please follow the deletion procedures."

The reason I ended up blanking it was because I made a mistake of directing it in the wrong place and I do not know how to delete pages. The reason why it should be deleted if not have a new page written to it is, JTCC is different from JGTC. JTCC began in 1985 as a race for Group A for Touring cars until 1993, wheras JGTC began as a replacement for the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship at the same year for GT cars, which means JTCC only allow cars with a minimum of four seats, JTCC moved on to being a supertouring category, wheras JGTC stayed the same. So I would say it would be best to delete, as I will be writing a new article for it, when I have the time. Willirennen 11:18, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I am now currently writing a new article for the abovementiond page. Willirennen 13:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't place comments on a user page. Always put them on the user's talk page. I have copied the above comments to here and reverted your edits to my user page.
 * I see you have created a new article. However, if you find yourself in a similar spot again, remember that you can find a different redirect, replace it with a stub article, or nominate the redirect for deletion. The deletion procedures provide information on how to get something deleted. Creating a stub article (a couple sentances and a stub tag) is always a good option when you know there should be an article, but you don't have time to write one. If you ever have questions, let me know. -- JLaTondre 23:15, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

MechZ
A tag has been placed on the article MechZ, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why MechZ is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:MechZ. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template  to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources in order that your article will be verifiable. Werdna648T/C\@ 09:22, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Er, three points: 1. I'm not the author of the article so I have no clue why you posted this here; 2. You put the article up for AfD, but the template is for speedy deletes; 3. The  template should be subst'ed (I have fixed that for you). I suggest you take some more time and get better acquianted with using article history and which user templates are for which before you apply more to user's talk pages. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 13:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I posted this message to anybody who had edited that article. Secondly, I am aware of that, but I found this warning template most appropriate for my needs. Thirdly, thanks for fixing this for me - I admit that this is one area that I am somewhat inconsistent in, and fourthly, if you check my edit count, I am actually fairly experienced in Wikipedia, though not as much so as you. I've written a number of these templates. Anyway, my apologies for bothering you on this matter, and thanks for your (somewhat unneeded) advice. Werdna648T/C\@ 13:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You didn't post this to anybody who edited the article. You only posted it to 3 out of 9 editors.
 * Using an incorrect template as a shortcut is not a good idea. This template is for speedy deletes and this was not a speedy delete. It provides information that is not correct and risks confusing new comers (who are the primary persons who have articles deleted). They have enough problems understanding why their article is up for deletion in the first place without further confusing them with how the deletion process works. It wouldn't have taken much longer to type an accurate message and copy and paste it to multiple talk pages.
 * It's comendable of you to want to notify people that you tagged "their" article for deletion, but I think you can safely ignore anyone who has simply reverted vandalism. This use of an auto reversion tool (such as my edit) is a good indication of that.
 * Which of us has a higher edit counted really isn't relevant. We're all allowed to have differing opinions.
 * Thanks. -- JLaTondre 19:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Mass Transit
I noticed you changed Mass Transit to a disambiguation page. Is that really necessary? I could be wrong, but it seems to me that 99% of people who type in "mass transit" as a search will be looking for "public transport" as opposed to a fairly obscure pro wrestling incident. I thought it was fine having it as a redirect with the "if you were looking for the wrestling incident, click here" type of thing at the top. Foxmulder 01:41, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * True. However, I think it's a bit confusing to have a "if you were looking for Mass Transit" at the top of the public transport page. Normally, the alternative use goes with names that are the same. If you arrived at public transport directly (i.e. not via the redirect), you wouldn't expect to see a reference regarding a wrestler named Mass Transit at the top (IMO). However, I don't feel that strong about it and if you want to revert, go ahead and do so with a summary of something like "reverting after discussing with JLaTondre". Thanks! -- JLaTondre 01:51, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Kingdom Hearts III is listed on AfD. However, this article was previously listed and you closed it as a deletion (Articles for deletion/Kingdom Hearts III). The user who listed it this time linked to the old nomination so it is shown as closed on the AfD summary (Articles for deletion/Log/2006 March 25). I was wondering if you would care to look at it and see if it's speedable as reposted material? That would save having to fix the nomination... Thanks! -- JLaTondre 14:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Blanking Minis
The problem with Minis is that it's a plural of Mini - and Wiki doesn't usually have redirects from plurals - so that was (and is once more) inappropriate. However, the word 'minis' is also some kind of Jewish term - and is linked to from several places. I don't know how to delete articles - but I wanted to remove confusing linkages from pages referring to the Jewish word (eg Pedigree (Jewish Encyclopedia)) that now point to the article on tiny little British cars. IMHO, the redirect should be deleted - or at least turned into a disambiguation page - but I don't know how to do that - and I suspect I'd need admin privilages anyway. The page was blanked because at the time I was using a different kind of Wiki software for our corporate Wiki where I work - and not 'MediaWiki' - on that other system, deleting all of the content of a page completely deletes it...evidently that doesn't work with this Wiki because the page is still here! I didn't realise that at the time (although I learned it since). Sorry if I made a mess - it was definitely done with good intentions and was certainly not vandalism or anything! SteveBaker 17:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * In my comment on your talk page, I provided a link to the instructions on nominating an article for deletion. It contains a pointer to Redirects for deletion which is where you list redirects that you believe should be deleted. If you think a disambig page can be made, then you can simply edit the article per Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). I didn't think it was vandalism. If you need help with either approach, please let me know. -- JLaTondre 20:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Colin Thatcher

Tone
The tone of this article is biased. It would be more appropriate to eliminate allegations that Thatcher switched parties simply because the public's preference changed, as well as numerous other sections. Toshiba, you are correct in stating that in legal terms, Thatcher is held to have killed Wilson. That does not justify unnecessary rudeness towards him. This is an encyclopedia that strives for neutrality, not a soapbox for anyone's convictions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.4.73 (talk) 22:24, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Involvement in the murder
Toshiba, there is still some controversy over exactly how Wilson died. Most people believe that Thatcher was behind the killing, though whether he killed Wilson himself or got someone to do the job for him is uncertain. Indeed, he never directly confessed to the crime in his bugged conversation with Anderson, though he did make statements which pointed to at least peripheral involvement. There is even a small but vocal minority who believe that Thatcher is entirely innocent of any involvement in the murder. For these reasons, I believe it is more appropriate to state in the article's introduction that Thatcher was "involved in" the killing of his ex-wife, not that Thatcher necessarily "killed" her. The reason for this wording becomes clear when one reads the remainder of the article. —Psychonaut 04:04, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

I don't have a barrow to push here at all but I think you'll find when he's convicted the general form is to refer to him - without qualification - as a killer. Nice of you to leave the question open but in Canadian legal terms it's case closed and the article should reflect that. Toshiba 08:50, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

User:Craig Lackie

Craig Lackie was born Craig Henry Lackie on September 30th, 1986. He has resided in Harbor Beach, Michigan all his years of living. At the age of five, he attended Zion Lutheran preschool. From the years 1992-1999 he went to Ramsey Robertson Elementary to study general education, including Reading, Arithmatic, Spelling, Social Studies, and Science. From 1999-2001 he was educated at Harbor Beach Community Middle School. From 2001-2005 he attended Harbor Beach Community High School, AND graduated!

During these crucial years, Craig worked during the Summer as the clerk at the local Pro-Shop at the Harbor Beach Resort Association golf course, where he earned money to buy intsruments and pursue his musical dreams.

In early November of 2002, he was asked by Shrine of Sacrilege to fill the position of vocals. The band at that time consisted of Steven Roggenbuck on drums, Douglas "Douchebag Novinski" Nowiski on bass guitar, and Jordan Wilson on electric guitar. The band at that time, in short, sucked. Jordan left the band in January of 2003, and Craig started playing ye olde electric guitarre. The power trio began writing original material that would soon become obsolete in technicality within a year, but were important in the development of their songwriting. December 6th of the same year was the live debut of the band, opening for local nü rock/metal and Metallica cover band Manifest. Although Shrine of Sacrilege were still in their developing stage, they played tight and aggressive, with enough room to spare for a "booty shaking" stage show. Plan for a concert in April were made, but kept getting postponed due to schedualing and whatnot. May 21st, 2004 would be the next date Shrine of Sacrilege would be seen. By now, they had an albums worth of material, and recorded a very sloppy album. This would never see the day of light due to the awful production and laziness in playing. The May 21st concert would show a more mature band, and musicianship which grew enormously since the last concert, with covers (to take up more time) from such hot hot acts as Slayer, Pantera, Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica, and a medley featuring classic riffs and melodies from Children of Bodom and Cryptopsy.

The next chapter is a tough one, Craig now had the duty of running the first ever War on the Shore battle of the bands. This Summer would see a large amount of productivity until the War on the Shore. While running that, Craig also had to work at Ye Olde Golf Shoppe, write for Scopata di Morte (formerly known as Shrine of Sacrilege), and learn a few tunes on bass for Garden of Eaten. After the War, things slowed back to how it's supposed to be, and Craig took a very unrelaxing trip to Florida in early August. School started, and things were as serene as ever. Scopata di Morte played a kicking set in front of a crowd that can be counted on two hands at Olde Jametowne Hall in October. The next event would be The Day Before Thanksgiving Concert, where Scopata di Morte had one of the most ridiculous stage shows ever conceived. This would turn to be a disaster, as poor audience attendence, and mindless Pilgrims and Indians would make the show a tale previously only imagined by Stephen King. Looking down at his musical career, Craig put down the guitar for a month, as well as Scopata di Morte rehearsals. The band only practiced three times in the course of a two month period, until a turn of events, a battle of the bands held at Marlette. Scopata put together the pseudonym Kickflip Anarchy. Kickflip Anarchy's main intent was to poke fun of all the punk bands that were also playing the battle. This plan, however, would backfire, getting as much acclaim as Scopata di Morte's part of the set. Playing in front of more than a dozen people sparked a want for doing more live shows, and Scopata would get their calls heeded on April 8th at Applegate, Michigan. This show was vital, as the band met many-a-people from the Port Huron area music scene. When Steve, Craig, and Doug ventured out to the Noruh Grotto on the 16th of the same month, their faces were recognized and they played a set while the opening band was arriving. To be continued...  with chiodos and vanity tweak?

User:Lizby/Autotonomy

Autotonomy is the process whereby lizards, particularly skinks, shed their tails to avoid capture. The tail will regrow although cartilage will replace bone and the skin will have slightly different colouration. Autotonomy is possible because the tail musculature and vertebrae minismise blood loss from the break site and permit a clean bone break.

Moravany (Pardubice District)

Moravany is a municipality and village in Pardubice District in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,900 inhabitants.

Administrative parts
The villages of Čeradice, Moravanský, Platěnice, Platěnsko and Turov are administrative parts of Moravany.

Etymology
The name indicates a village inhabited by people who came from Moravia (Moravians).

Geography
Moravany is located about 12 km east of Pardubice. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the East Elbe Table, on the edge of the Polabí region. The Loučná River flows through the municipality. The flooded quarry called Duhový Pond is located north of the village of Moravany.

History
The first written mention of Moravany is from 1244, when there already was a stronghold with a small settlement around it. In the 16th and 17th century there were many ponds but they were later dried during the German colonization and during the reign of Joseph II in 1782 they were turned into arable and given to settlers, mainly to the German ones.

In 1806 the Crown Prince passed through Moravany, later known as the Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria. The settlers solicited designation of a priest and the building of a rectory although the foundation of a new church had been laid down in 1782 after the old one had burned to the ground. The rectory was then built in 1808. There were two bells in the steeple until the 1816 when one of them was taken away for military purposes. The church as it stands now was built in the 1920s in the place of the burned church.

The railway was built in 1845.

Transport
Moravany is located on the railway lines Kolín–Česká Třebová via Pardubice and Chrudim–Moravany.

Sights
The most significant monument is the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. It is a late Baroque building from 1782. It includes a fresco of the coronation of the Virgin Mary by Josef Kramolín.

The 50th parallel passes through Moravany. It is marked with a plaque on the Hrdinů Square.

The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings

The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings is a 1976 American sports comedy film about a team of enterprising ex-Negro league baseball players in the era of racial segregation. Loosely based upon William Brashler's 1973 novel of the same name, it starred Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones and Richard Pryor. Directed by John Badham, the movie was produced by Berry Gordy for Motown Productions and Rob Cohen for Universal Pictures, and released by Universal on July 16, 1976.

The film was a box office success, grossing $33 million on a $9 million budget.

Plot
Tired of being treated like a slave by team owner Sallison Potter, charismatic star pitcher Bingo Long steals a bunch of Negro league players away from their teams, including catcher/slugger Leon Carter and Charlie Snow, a player forever scheming to break into the segregated Major League Baseball of the 1930s by masquerading as first a Cuban ("Carlos Nevada"), then a Native American ("Chief Takahoma"). They take to the road, barnstorming through small Midwestern towns, playing the local teams to make ends meet. One of the opposing players, "Esquire" Joe Calloway, is so good that they recruit him.

Bingo's team becomes so outlandishly entertaining and successful, it begins to cut into the attendance of the established Negro league teams. Finally, Bingo's nemesis Potter is forced to propose a winner-take-all game: if Bingo's team can beat a bunch of all-stars, it can join the league, but if it loses, the players will return to their old teams. Potter has two of his goons kidnap Leon prior to the game as insurance, but he escapes and is key to his side's victory.

As it turns out, there is a Major League scout in the audience. After the game, he offers Esquire Joe the chance to break the color barrier; with Bingo's blessing, he accepts. Leon glumly foresees the decline of the Negro leagues as more players follow Esquire Joe's lead, but Bingo, ever the optimist, cheers him up by describing the wild promotional stunts he intends to stage to bring in the paying customers.

Cast

 * Billy Dee Williams as Bingo Long
 * James Earl Jones as Leon Carter
 * Richard Pryor as Charlie Snow / "Carlos Nevada" / "Chief Takahoma"
 * Stan Shaw as Joseph Vanderbilt "Esquire Joe" Calloway
 * Tony Burton as Issac, an All-Star
 * Rico Dawson as Willie Lee Shively, an All-Star
 * Sam "Birmingham" Brison as Louis Keystone, an All-Star
 * Jophery Brown as Emory "Champ" Chambers, an All-Star
 * Leon Wagner as Sam "Fat Sam" Popper, an All-Star
 * John McCurry as Walter Murchman, an All-Star
 * DeWayne Jessie as "Rainbow", the All-Stars' batboy
 * Ted Ross as Sallison Potter, owner of the Ebony Aces
 * Mabel King as Bertha Dewitt, another team owner
 * Ken Foree as "Honey", one of Potter's henchmen
 * Carl Gordon as Mack, another one of Potter's henchmen

Negro leagues tie-ins
Some characters and situations are loosely based upon real-life people and incidents. Badham grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, and was familiar with the Birmingham Black Barons, who shared Rickwood Field with the white Birmingham Barons.

Bingo Long is based on former Black Baron Leroy "Satchel" Paige. Early in his career, Paige would call in his outfield while leading in the ninth inning against an amateur or semi-pro team and strike out the side. Bingo did a similar stunt in this movie. Leon Carter is a Josh Gibson-like power hitter, even playing the same position (catcher). "Esquire" Joe Calloway is an amalgam of another Black Baron, Willie Mays (in personality, talent, and fielding position) and Jackie Robinson (as being signed by a white team at the film's end).

The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings were loosely based on the Indianapolis Clowns and other barnstorming Negro baseball teams, who likewise engaged in Harlem Globetrotters-like clowning routines.

Production
Luther Williams Field in Macon, Georgia, was used for filming as the Negro league ballpark. Luther Williams Field was home to the Macon Music, a minor league team in the independent South Coast League. Additional ballpark scenes were shot at Morgan Field in Macon, a Pony and Colt League Youth Baseball field, Grayson Stadium in Savannah, Georgia, home of the Savannah Bananas, and Wallace Field in Crawford County, Georgia. Exterior scenes set in St. Louis residential neighborhoods were also filmed in Savannah. Scenes set in rural communities were filmed in Talbotton, Georgia, and various small towns around Macon, including Monticello, Georgia. Some ballplayers were played by actual former athletes, including former members of the Indianapolis Clowns, who performed various stunts shown in the film.

Steven Spielberg originally wanted to have a hand in producing the movie until the success of his film Jaws got his full attention.

Reception
The film received positive reviews. Roger Ebert wrote that "'Bingo Long' is fun, it's pleasant to watch, but it cakewalks too much on its way to the box office." Jay Cocks agreed in his Time magazine review, stating "Although it never fulfills the richest possibilities in the raffish misadventures of a barnstorming black baseball team of the 1930s, it does come close from time to time." Stanley Kauffmann of The New Republic described The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings as a 'flyweight picture which is considerable fun'.

The movie holds an 87% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 63 critics with the consensus: "Assembling an all-star team and letting them have infectious fun, Bingo Long throws a grand party in the dugout while giving a generation of ballplayers their overdue shine."

Accolades
The film was nominated for the American Film Institute's 2008 AFI's 10 Top 10 in the sports film category.

Not I

Not I is a short dramatic monologue written in 1972 (20 March to 1 April) by Samuel Beckett which was premiered at the "Samuel Beckett Festival" by the Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center, New York (22 November 1972).

Synopsis
Not I takes place in a pitch-black space illuminated only by a single beam of light. This spotlight fixes on an actress's mouth about eight feet above the stage, everything else being blacked out and, in early performances, illuminates the shadowy figure of the Auditor who makes four increasingly ineffectual movements "of helpless compassion" during brief breaks in the monologue where Mouth appears to be listening to some inner voice unheard by the audience.

The mouth utters jumbled sentences at a ferocious pace, which obliquely tell the story of a woman of about seventy who was abandoned by her parents after a premature birth and has lived a loveless, mechanical existence, and who appears to have suffered an unspecified traumatic experience. The woman has been virtually mute since childhood apart from occasional outbursts, one of which comprises the text we hear. From the text it could be inferred that the woman had been raped but this is something Beckett was very clear about when asked. "How could you think of such a thing! No, no, not at all—it wasn’t that at all." It seems more likely that she has suffered some kind of collapse, possibly even her death, while "wandering in a field … looking aimlessly for cowslips."

The woman relates four incidents from her life: lying face down in the grass, standing in a supermarket, sitting on a "mound in Croker's Acre" (a real place in Ireland near Leopardstown racecourse) and "that time at court", each being preceded by a repeat on the repressed first ‘scene’ which has been likened to an epiphany; whatever happened to her in that field in April was the trigger for her to start talking.

Her initial reaction to the paralyzing event is to assume she is being punished by God but finds she is not suffering; she feels no pain, as in life she felt no pleasure. She cannot think why she might be being punished but accepts that God does not need a "particular reason" for what he does. She thinks she has something to confess and believes that if she goes over the events of her life for long enough it will be revealed to her. In addition to the continued buzzing in her skull there is now a light of varying intensity tormenting her; the two seem related.

The title comes from the character's repeated denial that the events she describes or alludes to happened to her.

Mouth
Beckett had always intended that Billie Whitelaw, whom he had worked with on Play, give the definitive premiere performance of Not I. "But in the end, more out of friendship than because of any delays in London, he allowed Alan Schneider the opportunity to present it first" in America featuring Jessica Tandy. Tandy did fly to France to discuss the text with Beckett. However, Whitelaw’s subsequent performances benefited from extensive coaching from Beckett.

"I knew that woman in Ireland," Beckett said, "I knew who she was — not 'she' specifically, one single woman, but there were so many of those old crones, stumbling down the lanes, in the ditches, besides the hedgerows." That said, Beckett did not demand that the part be spoken with an accent, his one concession to Whitelaw when tutoring her. Schneider put ten questions to Beckett, indicative of his bafflement. Beckett responded: "I no more know where she is or why thus than she does. All I know is in the text. 'She' is purely a stage entity, part of a stage image and purveyor of a stage text. The rest is Ibsen."

Objective meaning does seem to have been of secondary consideration in the writing style. As Beckett indicated to Tandy he hoped that the piece would "work on the nerves of the audience, not its intellect." Beckett told Tandy to consider the mouth "an organ of emission, without intellect" and "during rehearsals [with Whitelaw] he would say, 'Too much colour, too much colour', which she correctly interpreted as 'For God’s sake, don’t act'."

The visual image of the mouth was, according to Beckett in a letter postmarked 30 April 1974, suggested by Caravaggio's The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist in Valletta Cathedral.

Auditor
The published stage directions also call for a character of indeterminate sex referred to as 'the Auditor' (generally played by a male) who wears a black robe and can be dimly seen stage left. When Beckett came to be involved in staging the play, he found that he was unable to place the Auditor in a stage position that pleased him, and consequently allowed the character to be omitted from those productions. However, he chose not to cut the character from the published script, and whether or not the character is used in production seems to be at the discretion of individual producers. As he wrote to two American directors in 1986: "He is very difficult to stage (light--position) and may well be of more harm than good. For me the play needs him but I can do without him. I have never seen him function effectively." In the 1978 Paris production he did reinstate the character but from then on abandoned the image concluding, as he had once said, that it was perhaps "an error of the creative imagination."

It has been suggested that the image of the Auditor was inspired by the image of a djellaba-clad "intense listener" seen from a café in Tunis; Beckett was in Morocco for a month from February to March 1972. James Knowlson conjectures that this "figure coalesced with [Beckett’s] sharp memories of the Caravaggio painting" mentioned above. In this painting there "is an old woman standing to Salome's left. She observes the decapitation with horror, covering her ears rather than her eyes" a gesture that Beckett added in the 1978 Paris production.

When Schneider questioned him as to whether the Auditor was Death or a guardian angel, Beckett shrugged his shoulders, lifted his arms and let them fall to his sides, leaving the ambiguity wholly intact.

22 November 1972
Forum Theatre, Lincoln Center, New York, directed by Alan Schneider, with Jessica Tandy (Mouth) and Henderson Forsythe (Auditor): Various dates have been offered for the first performance of the play from September (quoted in the Faber text) to December 1972. The review in the Educational Theatre Journal, Vol. 25, No. 1 (March 1973), pp. 102–104 states the date as 1 November. The date above however is from Damned to Fame (p. 592) by James Knowlson who was Beckett’s friend for over twenty years and is regarded as an international authority on the man. It is also the date given in The Faber Companion to Samuel Beckett.

Jessica Tandy found the experience of acting Not I terrifying. At first she had problems remembering the text and had to rely on a TelePrompTer right in front of her. Because the play was being performed in the round she had to be installed in a box, which could be wheeled on and off the stage. Inside this ‘contraption’ she stood holding onto two iron bars on either side of the box. She was dressed in black and wore a hood, which made her feel like "an old English hangman". At first her head was held still by a strap but she found it unbearable and unnecessary and asked for it to be removed. They also had an operator hidden in the box to reset the focus on the mouth if it did drift slightly out of the light. Additionally, her teeth were coated with a substance that exaggerated their brightness and then polished to attract the glare.

16 January 1973
Royal Court Theatre, London: Initially Billie Whitelaw wanted to stand on a dais but she found this didn’t work for her so she allowed herself to be strapped in a chair called an ‘artist’s rest’ on which a film actor wearing armour rests because he cannot sit down. Her entire body was draped in black; her face covered with black gauze with a black transparent slip for her eyes and her head was clamped between two pieces of sponge rubber so that her mouth would remain fixed in the spotlight. Finally a bar was fixed which she could cling to and on to which she could direct her tension. She was unable to use a visual aid and so memorised the text.

"'Whitelaw has described the ordeal of playing Mouth, how she was totally cut off from others, high above the stage, clamped, swathed in a black hood, subject to panic attacks; after the dress rehearsal she was for a time totally disoriented. Yet this stage experience came to seem her most meaningful one. She heard in Mouth’s outpourings her own 'inner scream': 'I found so much of my self in Not I. Somewhere in there were my entrails under a microscope.''"

17 April 1977
BBC2, The Lively Arts: Shades, Three Plays by Samuel Beckett: Arguably the definitive performance of the piece albeit in a completely different medium from which it was originally intended. Not I on its own was re-broadcast on 7 February 1990. The British Film Institute database says this is a film of the 1973 Royal Court Theatre performance above but it appears this was actually filmed on 13 February 1975 with Billie Whitelaw reprising the role. In this production the Auditor is absent and the camera stays fixed on her mouth, everything else being blacked out with makeup.

A criticism of this interpretation is that the focus shifts from the aural to the visual as the image of Whitelaw’s mouth dominates the screen and has often been likened to a vagina attempting to give birth to the self. This is a point Beckett himself picked up on when first viewing the video though one to which he raised no objection.

11 April 1978
Théâtre d'Orsay, Paris: Whereas in the French premiere (8 April 1975), Beckett allowed the role of the Auditor to be dropped, in the subsequent performance he both reinstated the position and gave it greater prominence lighting it from above but only at times when Mouth renounces the first person singular. In addition to covering his head with his hands at the end, Beckett also added "a gesture of blame" to the French version. Both this and the 1975 performance featured Madeleine Renaud.

27 February 1993
Performed by Tricia Kelly, directed by Cathy Denford, at West Yorkshire Playhouse.

February 2000
Beckett on Film, Shepperton Studios: This filmed production, directed by Neil Jordan begins differently from the BBC version in that the viewer sees Julianne Moore come into view, sit down and then the light hit her mouth. Because of this the audience is aware that a young woman as opposed to an "old hag" is portraying the protagonist.

9 April 2006
Beckett Evening, BBC Radio 3: To mark the centenary of Beckett’s birth, the BBC produced a number of radio programmes including a recording of Not I by Juliet Stevenson who had played the role on stage. Despite the lack of visuals her performance garnered favourable reviews. Of note is the fact that she chose to speak with an accent.

2005 onwards
Performed by Lisa Dwan, firstly in London's Battersea Arts Centre in 2005. Dwan was interviewed with Billie Whitelaw as part of the Beckett celebrations on BBC Radio 3. Dwan performed the piece again in July 2009 in the Southbank Centre in London in a time of nine minutes and fifty seconds; it usually plays for anything between twelve and fifteen minutes. The performance has since toured around the world, garnering five star reviews.

28 February 2018
Touretteshero’s inclusive presentation of Not I opened at Battersea Arts Centre in February 2018. Jess Thom has claimed Mouth as a disabled character; comparing her experience of Tourette’s to Mouth’s experience of not having control over her body and speech (BBC Front Row). The production features integrated British Sign Language (BSL), which is performed by Charmaine Wombwell. This Relaxed Performance asks who is allowed to access theatre and questions the cultural curation of accessible theatre. It will be followed by a TV programme, Me, My Mouth and I, airing on BBC2, as part of the Performance Live strand.

Reception
In 1998, David Benedict of The Independent argued that Not I is a "finer, more dramatically distilled" work than Waiting for Godot (1953). He referred to it as a "searingly beautiful depiction of humanity through the mouth of a woman. A truly unforgettable piece of dramatic writing".

"Kilcool"
On 28 August 1963, shortly after completing work on Film, Beckett began working on a new notebook which included several fragments of writing. There are four separate outlines in the 'Kilcool manuscript' which Stan Gontarski describes as 'episodes'. Analysis of the manuscript by Rosemary Pountey and Stan Gontarski suggests that 'Kilcool' is an early forerunner to what later became the visual and textual themes of Not I. In early drafts, a female voice describes a move to Kilcool (which is misspelt - Beckett later amends the mistake). Beckett’s father had once rented a house in Kilcoole, a small marshy village in Co. Wicklow, Ireland. The first outline describes a monologue spoken by a woman (only the face is visible) who has lost both parents and has moved to Kilcool(e) to live with a 'widowed childless aunt'. Stage outlines specify a "woman's face alone in constant light. Nothing but fixed lit face and speech." throughout the four outlines. In later drafts, Beckett eliminated almost all naturalistic detail in order to focus on more abstract narrative themes such as memory, compulsive speech and death.

The Unnamable
Asked further about sources for Not I, Beckett referred questioners back to his own novel, The Unnamable with its clamouring voice longing for silence, circular narrative and concern about avoiding the first person pronoun: "I shall not say I again, ever again". Vivian Mercier in his book Beckett/Beckett goes as far as to suggest that, gender aside, Not I is effectively a dramatisation of The Unnamable.

That Time
On 8 June 1973 Beckett began to imagine the play that came to be That Time which he called later "a brother to Not I". This play also owes something to the Kilcool Manuscript. In it Beckett returns to the image of a human head – of an old man this time – illuminated in the darkness and assailed on all sides by three voices – all his – from earlier in his life. At one point the voice designated as C says "did you ever say I to yourself in your life"
