Should we make the distinction?
It appears as if only you and I care about Basilides and his followers beliefs. So, it's best to decide what to do. I think we should go ahead with the change. If we do that, I can bulk-alter Basilides under "Creation", which is thoroughly confusing, by taking Basilideans "Creation according to Hippolytus" and moving it to Basilides. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Glorthac (talk • contribs) 00:30, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi!

Got a question
I was looking through the Gospel of Thomas and I noticed this reference: Jesus said, "I shall choose you, one from a thousand and two from ten thousand, and they will stand as a single one." (Gospel of Thomas Saying #23)

This is similar to the Basilideans 'secrecy' you mentioned on the Basilideans page. I was wondering if you could search the book you got the information from, and find the source they used to say that the Basilideans only told their secrets to 1 in a 1000 and 2 in 10000. If they have a good source, I could connect them to the Gospel of Thomas! That'd be an interesting find, wouldn't it?Glorthac (talk) 01:25, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

The Man Who Sold the World
Hi mate, didn't want to just revert you but I think the wording re. the music arrangements is more accurate the way it was before. Nicholas Pegg (who I cited) and David Buckley both say that the album as a whole was mainly arranged by Visconti and Ronno, not 'several songs'. If you've got other sources let me know but those I have suggest the previous wording was appropriate. Cheers, Ian Rose 10:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

User:N.L.MUKETE

TtT Kumba,(traditionally called Ekumba)meaning an umbrella tree is a city situated in the South West province of Cameroon.This city is the traditional home of the Bafaw tribes and partly some Bakundu, Balong and Barombi clans. It's both the headquarter of Meme Division and the economic life wire of the province.The town has a unique image in Cameroon in particular and the world at large.As a melting point of all calibres of poeple,you can see in Kumba,a city that radiates with enormous potentials,but not without some black sports. Among the several hundreds of thousands of poeple who inhabit this city,is Caven Nnoko Mbele,the Government Delegate to the Kumba city council.After carrying out a personal study on the people who make up this city,I ,Ngoe Lawrence Mukete,came to discover to discover the real person in Caven Nnoko Mbele.Nowhere in Kumba will you find a man nobler in character and learning than Caven Nnoko Mbele.His personal charisma,dynamism,flexibility,his sense of purpose of and direction,his development oriented attitude,has not only kindled great socio-econominc potentials in this city;a thing that has made Kumba the envy of the civilised world,but also he has broken the yoke of poverty and creeping hardship that was characteristic of this town in the past,as a result of the uncanny behaviour of his predecessors.Caven Nnoko Mbele is not only the vision carrier of Kumba,but also a quintescence of what twenty first  African leadership out to be.He is a reflection of Thabo Mbeki,Nelson Mandella and many other role models on the African continent.Should justice and merritocracy be given their rightful places on the Cameroonian political scene,then one should not wonder if Caven is raised to the rank of a Minister of State in the country he holds at heart and is willing to serve with a high sense of commitment and loyalty.

Bahnaric languages
Hi, thanks for adding all those links to Bahnaric languages. The reason I kept the links to a minimum in the first place is that red links are vandalism fodder. I don't know how many times I've encountered situations where someone follows a red link to a blank page and then adds nonsense to it. But we can keep our fingers crossed and hope that doesn't happen here! --Angr/undefined 08:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi Imperial,

Don't know if you haven't seen it already, but there's a question here that you might be able to answer. Regards, — Khoikhoi 02:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Iranian languages map
Hi. Could you correct the borders of India on the map of Iranian languages you have uploaded? Thanks! deeptrivia (talk) 04:19, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, I just took the blank map from wikipedia free maps. I see what you mean, let me fix it. Imperial78

 * Etnolinguistic maps of Afghanistan vary. Here is another one: As you can see, (by area) Turkmen is NOT the predominant language spoken in the north, but Uzbek. By population, Persian is the predominant language spoken in the north, while Pashto dominates the south. Persian-speaking Hazaras and Aimaqs dominate central Afghanistan. And this is probably the most accurate map (published by the Afghan government in 1985):
 * As for "Tajik", "Farsi", and "Dari", these are different names of the same question. This is not my opinion, but that of Persian scholars and experts. Here is a BBC article about this issue. Scholars from Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, Lebanon, and Bahrain agree that the name of the language is "Persian" (="Farsi"), while terms such as "Dari" and "Tajik" are modern political designations. Tajik 22:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe you should also edit the Uzbekistan part. Bukhara and Samarqand are both Tajik cities, and the southern parts are also dominated by Tajik-speaking "Sarts" (not necessairily "Tajik" by ethnicity). Tajik 22:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Small suggestion for the map: Ghazni and the Logar-area in Afghanistan are Persian-speaking (including Hazaragi) areas. This should be corrected. Tajik 14:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has Logar as a Pashto speaking area. I added the Dari and Hazaragi speakers for the areas in Ghazni. Imperial78
 * OK, good. Looks fine to me. Maybe you should create a legend for the languages, explaining which language has which colour. Tajik 17:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I could but since the languages are listed on the map itself, the reader would know. I thought about creating a legend and numbers for the central Iranian languages since it is getting crowded! Imperial78

Greetings. Khoikhoi told me of your map and so I thought I'd give a little input. Something small should denote the Iranian population in Israel I would think and also some indication of the large Tajik community in western Pakistan (I encountered them myself when I was there) that numbers upwards of 1 million (including 250,000 refugees from afghanistan) probably deserves some mention (they live just to the north of the Pashtuns in Pakistan as well as in Peshawar and Quetta). Everything else looks great! Much better than the other map we were using. Tombseye 22:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I added the dialect of Madaglashti, where Dari is spoken and the three languages spoken in Israel. Imperial78

 * Hi.

Thanks a lot for creating the wonderful Iranian languages map. One point: Along the Persian Gulf coats of Bushehr and Hormozgan except some scattered Arab villages the language of the majority is Persian (local dialect). Your map also ignores the Persian-speakers of the Khuzestani cities such as Ahvaz, Abadan, Ramhormoz, Sarbandar, Shush, Mahshahr, Ramshir etc. Actually the majority of the residents of these cities are Persian-speaking. Arabic only is dominant as a spoken language in areas west of Ahvaz and between Ahvaz and Khorramshar, in areas such as Shadgan, Hoveize, around Khorramshahr, between Ahvaz and Mahshar.

Take care, Mani

 * One thing that has not been discussed yet: "Dari" is the name given to ALL Persian diealects spoken in Afghanistan by the Afghan government(s), but actually, it is wrong. The dialect of Herat, for example (commonly known as "Herati" or "Khorassani") is much closer to the Persian dialects spoken arround Mashhad than the dialects spoken in Kabul or Mazar. The map distinguishes between the different Persian dialects spoken in Iran (i.e. it does not refer to all dialects as "Farsi"), but it does not distinguish between "Herati", "Kabuli" (wrongly called "Dari"), "Mazari", "Ghaznavi", etc. For more information, read the following articles of the Encyclopaedia Iranica: "Dari", the New Persian literary language & "Dari" in Afghanistan The Iranica clearly states:
 * "[...] 'Dari' is a term long recommended by Afghan authorities to designate Afghan Persian in contrast to Iranian Persian; a written language common to all educated Afghanis, Dari must not be confused with Kaboli, the dialect of Kabul [...] that is more or less understood by more than 80% of the non-Persian speaking population [...] " (p. 507)
 * This should be changed in the map ... Tajik 14:17, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Add.: Bahrain, too, has a seizable Persian-speaking population. Tajik 14:18, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the corrections. For Dari, I think I will add Dari like this on the map (Dari) meaning a language used in an official capacity much like Urdu in Pakistan.  It will take me a few days to fix things. Imperial78
 * Tajik, there are sizable Persian speaking communities in the whole Middle East (UAE, Bahrain, etc.). I think it is best to keep tha map to established older communities of Iranian speaking peoples not more recent groups since there are many Persian speakers in most countries outside the region (USA, etc.). Imperial78

Hi, I made a slight modification to your map but then realized that my version was lower resolution and did not show the names properly:. Please take a look at this map of languages of Afghansitan by its Central Statistics Office of 1985 here. --Behnam 04:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

The map
Yeah, I'm not sure what to say. I love the map, and although it's sort of original research, people need to follow the most important policy in this case, ignore the rules. :) Also, the CIA is definately not academic. It's informative, it's a good source of information, but "academic" is an inaccurate description of it. Cheers. — Khoikhoi 22:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Map key?
Ok, the map is cool, but there's no key! Sure you list what SOME of the colours refer to in the caption, but really, you need a comprehensive key otherwise it's difficult to decipher. It was for me and I'm an Iranian linguistics major so I think a key is essential to make this more accessible to a general audience. Daviddariusbijan 09:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

dardic
Please donot make up your own facts about linguistics lol. I have added the link. There is nothing wrong with the speeling. READ the link esp. the last two paragraphs. If you can add something useful do so... But do not delete any part of the info. already mentioned! ciao ;) omerlivesOmerlives
 * There are many spelling errors, "langauges" and "refrences". And the sentences to not make sense.  So please fix them and make it acceptable.  If not, I must edit them out to keep the article of an acceptable quality.  Imperial78

Semitic languages in Ethiopia
I don't know if South Semitic languages are very close to each other, but all branches need not represent the same level of interelatedness. For instance, any two semitic languages (if you don't compare some of the Gurage dialects with each other) in Ethiopia are not nearly as close to each other as Hebrew, Canaanite, and Aramaic. Plus, Ethiopia does have plenty of Semitic languages — over 20, even! When you count the 6 more in Yemen (ignoring Arabic), you can see the great diversity. Diversity in itself isn't the only reason, however. Firstly, Afro-Asiatic was spoken in NE Africa (I believe the current Urheimat is NE Sudan and some of Eritrea, though I've also heard NE Sahara and other pleaces) and there's no reason why Semitic would have to go around the Red Sea through Egypt to Yemen and then to Ethiopia rather than having originated there, as travel from Ethiopia to Yemen is well attested in ancient times and is thought to have been a major route out of Africa for modern humans. Geographically, it just makes sense. In addition, there are a number of linguistic features which point to Semitic languages having existed in Ethiopia for a long time. As I said, they are attested by linguistic features to at least 2000 BC in early studies (1977 - see Language classification and the Semitic prehistory of Ethiopia. Folia Orientalia 18. 120-166.), and archaic features of Afro-Asiatic cognate in Akkadian (known for its archaisms), but also in Chadic, Berber, and Cushitic (showing that it is proto-A-A; see Ethiopian B-type verbs.  Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference of Ethiopian Studies (Chicago), R. Hess, ed., 101-110.  Chicago: University of Illinois Press. 1979; see also A and B-type verbs in Ethiopian and Proto-Semitic.  Semitic Studies in Honor of Wolf Leslau, Alan S. Kaye, ed., 679-689. Wiesbaden: Otto Harrassowitz. 1991.). Some of these features are not present in Asian Semitic languages at all, but are distinctions made in Ethiopian Semitic derived from proto-A-A, which runs against the "Sabaean invasion" hypothesis, which happens much to late for these features to be preserved — i.e. 5th c. BC (see A neglected Ethiopian contribution to Semitic and Afroasiatic reconstruction. Proceedings of the Twentieth Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society, 47-56. Berkeley, CA: Berkeley Linguistics Society.) —  ዮም   (Yom)  |  contribs  •  Talk  05:21, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

User talk:Neudorf~enwiki

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Neudorf! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Acetic Acid 05:28, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Your edits to Mobile Tornado
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Neudorf! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, and try to reinsert the link again. If your link was genuine spam, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 10:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Novelsat"
A page you created, Novelsat, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Kevin (talk) 10:21, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Novelsat Notability
If you look "novelsat" in google you may see more than 4000 results. I rently attended a technological Seminar by them in the NAB show in Vegas and was highly impressed - they are the first to come out with a technology breakthrough over DVB-S2 - a standard for staellite broadcast of video and data. I am NOT a Novelsat employee, but I have recommnded them to some of my clients,major video distribution companies in Asia and Europe

Proposed deletion of Novelsat

The article Novelsat has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * No notability established, see talk page, speedy suggested, but give author a chance to react.

The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Nageh (talk) 21:15, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools.

Electoral district of Albury

Albury is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales. It is currently held by Justin Clancy of the Liberal Party.

Albury is a regional electorate in the state's south. It encompasses the local government areas of the City of Albury, Greater Hume Shire, Federation Council, part of Snowy Valleys Council that includes the town of Cabramurra. Its significant population centres include Albury, Culcairn, Jindera, Corowa, Howlong, Holbrook and Tumbarumba.

History
Albury was first created in 1880 from part of Hume and is named after the city of Albury. In 1920, Albury, Wagga Wagga and Corowa were absorbed into Murray, and four members were elected under proportional representation. At the end of proportional representation in 1927, Albury was recreated.

Albury has generally been considered as a heartland seat for the Liberal Party and its predecessors. While Labor has occasionally managed to break the conservative hold on the seat, these have typically occurred only at the peak of a popular government. For instance, former Albury mayor Harold Mair won the seat for Labor in 1978 and held it for a decade–only the second Labor member ever to win it in its present incarnation, and the only one to hold it for more than one term. However, Mair's name recognition in the area was not enough to keep him from being swept out in the landslide Labor defeat of 1988. Liberal Ian Glachan, who had been Mair's opponent in 1984, actually turned Albury into a safe seat in one stroke.

Since then, Labor has never come close to retaking the seat. Labor candidates are usually fortunate to get much more than 30 percent of the primary vote. The Liberal hold on the seat has only been seriously threatened once since then, when Glachan suffered a 16-point swing and bested independent Claire Douglas by only 687 votes. At that election, Labor was pushed into third place. The seat reverted to form in 2003 upon Glachan's retirement. His successor, Greg Aplin, won 61.5 percent of the two-party vote, and Labor was pushed to fourth place on the primary vote behind Aplin and two independents. Aplin held the seat without serious difficulty until 2019, when he was succeeded by fellow Liberal Justin Clancy.

Jansher Khan

Jansher Khan PP SI HI NI (Pashto:جان شیر خان ; born 15 June 1969, in Peshawar, Pakistan)  is a former World No. 1 professional Pakistani squash player. During his career, he won the World Open a record eight times, and the British Open six times. Jansher Khan is widely regarded as one of the greatest squash players of all time. Ranked number 1 in the world from January 1988 till January 1998, (513 weeks) (118 months) (9.8 Years) Jansher Khan retired in the year 2001. He was troubled by back, knee and groin injuries throughout his career.During his career, he won PSA Professional 293 matches out of total 331, PSA Professional Tour Finals 99 out of 118 and from 1990 until 1996 in 81 matches he was unbeaten for record six years; his longest winning matches streak in top-level professional sports as recorded by Guinness World Records.

Career
Jansher Khan first came to prominence at the age of 16 when he won the World Junior Squash Championships in Australia in 1986 and then the Senior World Open title in the same year, by beating Australia's Chris Dittmar in the final. At the age of 16, he became the youngest winner in the history of squash and in the same year, he also defeated world No.1 Jahangir Khan in the Hong Kong Open and kept defeating him in consecutive 7 matches.

Jansher Khan started his career as an employee of Pakistan Air Force. During his career, he won PSA Professional 293 matches out of a total 331, PSA Professional Tour Finals 99 out of 118 and from 1990 until 1996 in 81 matches he was unbeaten for record six years; his longest winning matches streak in top-level professional sports as recorded by Guinness World Records. His main competitor Jahangir Khan won PSA Professional 134 matches out of a total 164, PSA Professional Tour Finals 61 out of 80 and from 1981 until 1986 in 70 matches he was unbeaten for five years.

Jansher Khan announced his retirement from squash in 2001. In late 2011 he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In 2020, after suffering from severe back pain while praying and walking, Khan underwent double back surgery successfully at a Shifa International hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Jansher Khan had these words of advice for young players after his successful surgery: "I would advise today's young players that along with their hard training they must take special care of their back, knee and groin injuries and treat minor ailments timely to avoid serious problems in future."

Squash Coaching
In September 2020, at the request of the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan, Jansher Khan joined the Directorate General Sports Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as a head squash coach.

The facilities available to athletes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are unmatched in most other countries. On his appointment, Jansher Khan said, “I will do my best to fill the gap created in the game of squash and make the country a new world champion.”

Jahangir Khan rivalry
One of the major squash rivals of Jansher Khan was Jahangir Khan, who was also his Pakistani counterpart. During the 1980s and 1990s, Jansher Khan and Jahangir Khan won the majority of the 14 World Open titles and 16 British Open titles. The records cover the 37 tournament matches, besides exhibition and league matches, played between Jansher Khan and Jahangir Khan from their first meeting at the Pakistan Open in 1986 to the Spanish Open in March 1991. Out of those 37 matches, Jansher won 19 matches and Jahangir won 18.

From 36 matches played between Jansher Khan and Jahangir Khan, Jansher Khan won 19 Matches and Jahangir Khan won 17 matches.

Talk:Warren Towers

"It is nicknamed The Zoo."

As a two-year resident of Warren from 2001-2003, this was news to me... --MC MasterChef 05:30, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

"Notorious for seeming" is very weasely.. this really needs sourcing or rewording. Can you dig up an article in the Daily Free Press to quote these unnamed students' complaints? — MC MasterChef  ::  Leave a tip — 04:54, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, lived in Warren last year and never heard of leaking. --okieman1200 08:25, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I live on Bay State Road and I know people who live in Warren, but have never heard it called "the zoo".--Alhutch 23:09, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Currently living in Warren, can attest to large puddles under work areas, though have never heard it referred to as "the zoo." --Jeff Greco 21:19, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I lived in C-Tower when it was new (1967-68). I don't recall hearing the term "Zoo" used as a title either, but we surely thought of it as a zoo at times. This was just because of the large number of people, the zoo-like atmosphere, and the occasional hijinks. One drunken student climbed on top of an elevator car and rode it up and down, until he was pinned against a beam, fracturing his pelvis. Of course, that was when the C-tower was exclusively for men and the A- and B-towers for women, making for a different residential culture. Pzavon 04:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Please don't deface this page with opinions like: Warren Towers is not know as a wonderful place to live hence the name "three pronged pitchfork from hell" which is well earned. There is no evidence of this, obviously, and it is completely biased. I lived there for a term, and I never heard this phrase before. --SandManMattSH 16:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

image
Just added a picture I took of Warren. it's not the best photo ever, but it will have to do for now.--Alhutch 19:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

ZOO
I lived in Warren from 1998-2000 before wising up and moving out to Myles but everyone I lived with new it was nicknamed the zoo because of the 700.

Yes, I've heard it referred to as such before as well, though not by any recent residents. I'm sure I read somewhere Howard Stern referring to it as such... Pjorg 23:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Suicide
I lived on the 13th floor of Warren in 1996-97 and was told that a kid killed himself once. Somehow he jumped from the tower (from the roof? or took out a screen?) and landed on the AC unit below (I was in the left tower facing the Boston skyline)... when it rained.. the rain would puddle and you could faintly see the outline of what could be a human body. Myth? --204.14.239.190 17:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

In 1995, someone did jump from Warren Towers during finals. They evacutated the cafeteria right after it happened.

Warren Towers: not so big
I know that we here at BU like to think that we're the biggest and baddest, but Warren towers is not actually the largest dorm in the US. A simple check of the BU housing website (http://www.bu.edu/housing/residences/largedorms/warren.html) lists its capacity at 1797. (And I won't even get into the argument over whether or not Warren Towers is actually 3 dorms or not.) In any case, the Jester Center at University of Texas at Austin houses 2,945 (http://www.utexas.edu/student/housing/?site=1&scode=4&id=140), which is quite a bit more. I'm fixing all the pages that make reference to this. --Michael 21:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't think anyone here has any type of inferiority complex that requires us to believe that we are the "biggest and baddest," but the fact is that the university has advertised for some time that Warren is the biggest non-military dorm in the U.S. Your reference seems to indicate that this is no longer the case.  I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that I appreciate your bringing this to light so that the article can be corrected.

 * There's no need to make the editors of this article out to be people who don't respect facts. If there's something incorrect, please change it.  I don't really see how Warren would be considered three dorms rather than one, but I guess that's something that could be discussed.

 * -Pjorg 19:36, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I also just checked out the Jester Center and its clear that the Jester Center is a complex of different buildings. There are more than one security post, this making them seperate living spaces. This is why, although in join it has more capacity than Warren Towers, 700 Commonwealth Avenue is truly a the largest non-military, sole standing structure in the country. 198.45.19.38 20:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)Scottistheman

REM Lyrics
I have yet to find anything to substantiate the claim that the R.E.M. song "It's the End of the World" references Warren Towers. The consensus seems to be that the lyrics are "foreign towers" not "Warren Towers." -Pjorg 20:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what I've found as well. Removing. Travisl 16:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

The March 31 edit removed Taco Bell. Is it really gone? Tis a shame if it's true -- that's the first place I ever got the runs from the border. Travisl (talk) 15:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Size of double dorm room?
What is the size of the average double dorm room? 12' x 14'? 14' x 16'? Also, one or two windows per average room? And are wastebaskets provided? Just some necessary questions. Please email them to me at sheila.wall@gmail.com.

Also, when you think back to your freshman year, what were some things that you coulda/shoulda done that would have made the experience better--especially if you were from out of town, and there was no convenient, fast, cheap escape?

Thanks!

MacroML

MacroML is an experimental programming language based on the ML family, seeking to reconcile ML's static typing and the types of macro systems commonly found in dynamically typed languages like Scheme; this reconciliation is difficult since Turing-complete macro transformations can break type safety guarantees that static typing is supposed to provide.

 * Hi JesseBHolmes, I noticed your edit on the Malad City, Idaho page. I too noticed the Welsh emigration per capita claim by the city of Malad a while back and tried to determine if in fact Gaiman, Chubut, Argentina did have a higher Welsh demographic.  I have thus far been unable to find a demographic breakdown of Gaiman that tops Malad's reported Welsh ancestry of 23.1%.

 * Although Malad City reportedly has the highest Welsh descent per capita outside of Wales, BBC Article Idaho State Journal I have yet to find anywhere where the city of Gaiman, or any other source makes the same claim.

 * Gaiman may in fact be higher than than 23.1% but I have not come across it. I know it has a significant Welsh population. I also have read that in addition to Welsh ancestry, Gaiman presently has British, Irish, and Spanish ancestry along with the Argentine native population. What Welsh descent percentage of Gaiman have you found and will you provide a link to it? Thanks, DL 500 22:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * That's only true for federal government images. State government photos are copyrighted. — Chowbok  ☠  01:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * For it to be considered "free" on Wikipedia, it must be free for any use—including commercial. — Chowbok  ☠  01:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * We can use logos because they can't be replaced with free images, unlike with this photo. The photos of Winfrey and Frakes can indeed be used for commercial purposes, at least in the many states that don't recognize publicity rights. — Chowbok  ☠  05:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Jennifer Granholm
We already have an adequate free photo of Granholm, so adding a fair-use one is not necessary. — Chowbok  ☠  22:24, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a reasonable position to take, but I disagree. My experience has been that people are much less likely to find a free replacement for an image until the fair-use image is deleted (or under threat of deletion, at any rate). The governors photos are a good example of this. In many cases, free photos of the governors have been available for years, but nobody ever bothered to add them to articles in place of the fair-use promo photos until I went around and tagged them for deletion. Suddenly we had several people finding photos at federal-government websites like the Biographical Guide to the U.S. Congress for public domain photos. — Chowbok  ☠  22:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Valiantemexico.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Valiantemexico.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 06:12, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
