Hey there Junglecat, if you have time could you visit Articles for deletion/List of shopping malls in Houston, Texas? I'm not asking for your vote, just a sanity check! Am I wrong here? Thanks again for your help! Postoak 22:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm just letting you know that another user has all but blanked this article and is now attempting to have it deleted. John celona (talk) 02:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks
Thanks for commenting in my recent request for adminship which was successful with 89 supports, 0 opposes, and 2 neutrals. Unfortunately all I can offer is this lame text thanks rather than some fancy-smancy thank-you spam template thingy. I know you have concerns about me as an administrator, and I certainly invite you to keep an eye on my work and bring any problems you see to my attention. Thanks again for taking the time to comment!--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 01:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

that wasn't me...i swear it. either someone hacked onto my account, or my little brother did it. I'm sorry. I checked the history and saw what happened. If it offended you, I'm sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masterwiki (talk • contribs) 18:22, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA thank-spam
, just a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully with 112 supports, 2 opposes, and 1 neutral. If there's something I've realized during my RFA process this last week, it's that adminship is primarily about trust. I will strive to honour that trust in my future interactions with the community. Many thanks! Gatoclass (talk) 06:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Motiva Enterprises LLC logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Motiva Enterprises LLC logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

 * It was an interesting experience with Ike, but not as bad as Rita was. I have other cool photos I need to sort through and upload at commons. When I get time I'll post them. I've been really busy in real life lately and just don't have the free time to edit... :-(    JungleCat    Shiny! / Oohhh!  02:00, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Images for deletion
Thanks for the tip, I added some of your stuff. You better give a fair use rationale like I did here, otherwise they start complaining again. Good luck, and we better keep on eye on this guy. - Mafia Expert (talk) 23:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I did, I used the template you had added. Did you see INTGAFW's comment here? Apparently, this fellow Damiens.rf has a history of slapping IfD templates rather than doing the checking on the correct rationale if warranted. His deletion reasoning has me concerned for other images of magazine covers. JungleCat    Shiny! / Oohhh!  01:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Rolling meth lab article
Hi. I de-orphaned your Rolling meth lab article. Are you going to create a DYK entry for it? -- OlEnglish (Talk) 05:55, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Rolling meth lab
--Dravecky (talk) 19:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Good job on that! It's a funny coincidence:  I was just looking for information on these things a couple days ago and couldn't find what I was looking for on Wikipedia (they're a nasty and growing problem, including near where I live, and I just saw something on TV about it) -- and then here it is, a new article by you, just what I was looking for.  All the best, Antandrus  (talk) 00:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey there Antandrus! It’s always good to hear from you. On this one, we both agree. I have been hearing about these too for a while. I want to look into some possible sources I have to hopefully expand this article. This subject is a growing problem that the general public needs to know about for sure. I now wonder, how many times I have come across a trash bag on the side of the road (walking, biking, or riding with someone on a country road), and the bag was the remnants of a lab? Ugh! or Yikes!... You take care! JungleCat    Shiny! / Oohhh!  01:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Someone is "borrowing" your picture without attribution... Paranormal Skeptic (talk) 20:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Not bad… actually that’s kinda cool! I released that one into the public domain quite a while back, so photo-wise they do not have to acknowledge my acct unless they want to. They did give credit to Wikipedia.org however which is OK. Another thing that is to me kinda ironic, that exact same make and model shortwave radio was in my possession many years back during the Reagan years (this one I acquired a few years ago, the original my cousin has now). I used to be able to hear Numbers stations on the thing and I never thought back then that it was a communication between governments and spies. How ironic that this same type of analog shortwave receiver photo was selected for the article. He he… Like I said, not bad. ;-)   JungleCat    Shiny! / Oohhh!  00:52, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Nice pic
I like the pic you have on your userpage...nice...hard to imagine it has already been 8 years now. Hope you're doing well these days!--MONGO 04:03, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey there! It is good to hear from you. The photo is an awesome one that helps me think of our loss that day which will not be forgotten. Wow, 8 years seems like yesterday. Someone slow that clock down please! And my thought on the matter - Our enemies will not prosper; I am a man of faith. I think I will leave my page as-is for the time being. Changing subjects - I want to get more into my photography contributions to the project. I have a bunch of photos on my PC I need to review and consider submitting over at Commons. Right now I am really busy (I know, said that before), but maybe I will get an opportunity to post some more there real soon.  JungleCat    Shiny! / Oohhh!  03:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:TexasHistComm.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:TexasHistComm.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — G FOLEY   F OUR  — 03:14, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Polemic marriage userbox
As you well know, that userbox was deleted in an MfD last year (Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:UBX/onemanonewoman_4th_nomination) where the closer stated "Consensus is quite clear ... that these templates ... violate the guideline on userbox content restrictions (WP:UBCR) because they are "inflammatory or divisive" and "propaganda [or] advocacy", as prohibited by that guideline."

Therefore, recreating it by stealth on your userpage is seriously not a good idea for multiple reasons, and I have removed it. Furthermore, re-creating it again (by whatever means) will certainly result in a sanction. Thank you, Black Kite (talk) 09:30, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Canon de 75 modèle 1897

Serbia
Some 200-250 cannons were purchased by Kingdom of Serbia along with a licence to produce shells (shrapnell and HE). They were used with great success during the Balkan wars and WW1. During WW1 inadequate production capabilities forced Serbia to import shells from France and Greece. Timely arrival of theese in 1914. contributed to Serbian victory at Battle of Kolubara in 1914.

Veljko Stevanovich 2. 9. 2005.

Schneider
Is it Canon de 75 modele 1897 Schneider the same gun ? Bukvoed 20:24, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is --HH58 18:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC). No, for the Schneider 75 field gun came out much later ( in 1912 ) and it was distinctly different from the Mle 1897 Canon de 75. This is a commonly encountered confusion.

 * Changed Canon de 75 modele 1897 Schneider into redirect after merging. Balcer 18:47, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

WWII
use on AFVs in Second World War?

I have read, but cannot recall offhand the source material, that this design was adapted to be mounted in at least two American medium tanks of the Second World War, that a modified French 75mm howitzer was the original turret armament of the Sherman, and a similar gun, capable of using the same ammunition, was mounted in the hull of the earlier Grant medim tank. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.244.181 (talk) 03:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Last user
The army of Uruguay is probably the world's last user of the French 75. According to the official web site http://www.ejercito.mil.uy the 13th Armored Infantry Battalion is equipped with M24 Chaffee light tanks which are armed with a version of the French 75 known as the M6. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.213.109.90 (talk) 08:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

75mm gun in Battle of Westerplatte
The gun used on Westerplatte was a conwersion of the russian 76.2mm gun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/76_mm_divisional_gun_M1902). As mentioned in the note russian gun were rechambered to fire 75mm shells but it any case this was not a Modele 1897 gun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.5.36.229 (talk) 17:26, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Anti-aircraft
There's a brief mention of its use as an anti-aircraft weapon; what kind of shell did it fire in that role? There's a lot of copy-and-paste info about the gun's use as an AA weapon, but no-one seems to know whether it fired the timed shrapnel shell mentioned in the text, or something else. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:20, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

While it is true that the French did place too much faith in the 75, they most assuredly did not have to wait until 1917 for effective and modern heavy artillery pieces to enter service.--63.3.21.1 (talk) 22:01, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Second Boer War
I wonder if anyone can confirm if these were the Creusot 75mm guns that Piet Joubert bought for the Boer Republics for use in the Second Boer War (1898-1902). They also had some Krupp 75's as well.LameCat (talk) 19:59, 12 March 2013 (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. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Any reason this is at Chi (Greek letter) rather than Chi (letter) (which is just a redirect to here), unlike every other Greek letter? Assuming no objections, I'd like to move it for consistency's sake. -- DrBob 18:04, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation - something is wrong here

Also, in chemistry isn't lower case chi used to denote "mole fraction?" It would seem appropriate this be included in the article. In a chemistry book I have on hand, ISBN-13:978-0-547-16817-3 on page 510 it describes Raoult's Law, which includes mole fraction. Though it may appear to be a fancy looking "X," it is in fact, lower case chi.

Smudge pot

A smudge pot (also known as a choofa or orchard heater) is an oil-burning device used to prevent frost on fruit trees. Usually a smudge pot has a large round base with a chimney coming out of the middle of the base. The smudge pot is placed between trees in an orchard. The burning oil creates heat, smoke, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. It was believed that this oil burning heater would help keep the orchard from cooling too much during the cold snaps.

History
In 1907, a young inventor, Willis Frederick Charles “W.C.” Scheu (Dec 1st, 1868 - April 11th, 1942), at that time in Grand Junction, Colorado, developed an oil-burning stack heater that was more effective than open fires in heating orchards and vineyards. In 1911, he opened Scheu Manufacturing Company in Upland, California, and began producing a line of orchard heaters. Scheu Steel is still in business, in 2021. The use of smudge pots became widespread after a disastrous freeze in Southern California, January 4–8, 1913, wiped out a whole crop.

Smudge pots were commonly used for seven decades in areas such as California's numerous citrus groves and vineyards. The Redlands district had 462,000 orchard heaters for the winter of 1932–33, reported P. E. Simpson, of the supply department of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, requiring 3,693,000 gallons of oil for a single refilling, or about 330 tank car loads. To fill all of the smudge pots in Southern California one time required 2,000 car loads.

Smudge pot use in Redlands, California groves continued into the 1970s, but fell out of favor as oil prices rose and environmental concerns increased. Pots came in two major styles: a single louvered stack above a fuel oil-filled base, and a slightly taller version that featured a cambered, louvered, neck and a galvanized re-breather feed pipe out of the side of the chimney that siphoned stack gas back into the burn chamber and produced more complete combustion. The Return-Stack heater was developed by the University of California and became commercially available about 1940. Filler caps have a three- or four-hole flue control. The stem into the pot usually has a piece of oil-soaked wood ("down-draft tube and wick") secured inside the neck to aid in lighting the pot. Pots are ignited when the air temperature reaches 29 degrees Fahrenheit (−2 degrees Celsius), and for each additional degree of drop, another hole is opened on the control cap ("draft regulator"). Below 25 degrees, nothing more can be done to enhance the heating effects.

Types and usage
Some groves used natural gas pots on lines from a gas source, but these are not "smudge pots" in the usual sense, and they represented only a fraction of the smudging practice. Experiments using natural gas heaters were conducted in Rialto, California, in 1912. Sometimes, large smudge pots are used for heating large open buildings, such as mechanics' workshops. In Australia they are called "choofers" because of the noise they make when lit: "choofa choofa choofa".

Lighting an Australian "choofer" is a tricky business. Because of the voluminous clouds of oily black smoke they produce when cold, they must be lit outside. This is accomplished by holding a burning rag next to the open damper on the fuel tank. The draught caused by the breeze passing through the chimney will draw air through the open damper into the fuel tank, where the surface of the fuel inside will light and burn instantly. Once the choofer is sufficiently warm, the damper may be closed until a steady rate of burning is attained, when the characteristic "choofa choofa choofa" noise is produced. If the damper is not closed, the choofa may choke itself with its own smoke, causing periodic "explosions" of unburnt gases in the chimney. Such explosions are not dangerous, but they are noisy and they produce a lot of smoke. Once the heater is burning hot enough, the smoke will disappear and the pot may be dragged slowly and carefully inside. They still produce dangerous gas, and must only be used in well-ventilated spaces.

Choofers will burn almost any combustible liquid fuel, including kerosene, diesel fuel, or used sump oil.

Prior to the development of battery-powered safety blinkers on saw-horses, many highway departments used small oil-burning safety pot markers to denote work zones, and many railroad systems still rely on oil-fired switch heaters, long tubs of fuel with a wick, that fits between the ties and keeps snow and ice from fouling the points of a switch. This is generally only used in yard applications. Mainline switches are usually heated by natural gas heaters.

The smudge pot was also used at construction sites and other cold places to take the chill out of buildings so workers would be comfortable, and for several decades (1920s–1970s) they were used as emergency night landing illumination at remote airfields without electric runway lights, acting as a series of small bonfires.

Use in war
Smudge pots were used by the Germans, the Japanese, and the United States Navy during World War II, and by the North Vietnamese in their invasions of Laos during the Vietnam War to protect valuable targets. The oily black clouds of smoke produced from these smudge pots was intended to limit the ability to locate a target. In Vietnam, smoke from smudge pots was used as a defense against laser-guided bombs. Smoke would diffuse the laser beam and break the laser's connection with its intended target.

Other significance

 * The smudge pot often became a symbolic prize in Southern California high school football rivalries.
 * Bonita High School and San Dimas High School, affiliated with the Bonita Unified School District in Southern California, compete in varsity football for a silver-plated smudge pot.
 * In Redlands, California, Redlands High School and Redlands East Valley High School also compete in varsity football for a blue-and-red smudge pot. The game is known among football fans as the 'Smudge Bowl'
 * Sometimes called a "highway torch", smaller smudge pots were historically used to warn oncoming traffic of road maintenance at night.[See talk]

Thomas Jones (civil servant)

Thomas Jones, CH (27 September 1870 – 15 October 1955) was a British civil servant and educationalist, once described as "one of the six most important men in Europe", and also as "the King of Wales" and "keeper of a thousand secrets". Jones served as Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet for nearly twenty years, under four different Prime Ministers.

Early life
Thomas Jones was born on 27 September 1870, at 100 High Street, Rhymney, Monmouthshire. He was the first of nine children to David Benjamin Jones and Mary Ann Jones. His family was Welsh speaking but by the time he was school age, the family usually spoke English except for Sunday School and the chapel. Welsh was banned at school and Jones later wrote that "outside the chapel, I never had a lesson in Welsh". His fluency in Welsh in later life was hindered by this but his command of English was excellent. He was educated at the Upper Rhymney School and Lewis School in Pengam. Jones had failed to win a scholarship at Lewis but his father could afford the school fee.

Jones's grandfather insisted on his leaving school at 14 to work as a clerk in the local ironworks. Jones complied but his interest in reading and his facility in public speaking brought him fame as a preacher. In 1890 he won the Calvinist Methodist scripture gold medal and proceeded to the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth to study for the ministry. New interests intervened, however; and Jones eventually graduated with first-class honours in economics from the University of Glasgow in 1901.

In 1902 he married a student from his time at Aberystwyth, Eirene Theodora Lloyd (1875–1935), daughter of Dr Richard John Lloyd, Reader in Phonetics at Liverpool University. There were three children from the marriage: Eirene White (1909–99), who became a Labour Minister under Harold Wilson (1966–70), Tristan (1913–90), who became managing director of The Observer, and Elphin, who died in a motoring accident in 1928.

Jones pursued at first an academic career after graduation from Glasgow. He was Russell Student at the London School of Economics; Barrington Lecturer in Ireland (1904–05); Assistant to the Professor of Political Economy and Lecturer in Economics at Glasgow; and Professor of Economics, Queen's University Belfast, 1909–10.

In 1914 Jones started the monthly journal Welsh Outlook to promote "national social progress" in Wales. He was the journal's de facto editor for its first three years.

Civil service
He became familiarly known as "T.J." He was Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet under four Prime Ministers: David Lloyd George, Bonar Law, Stanley Baldwin and Ramsay MacDonald. His 3-volume Whitehall Diary (1969, 1971) threw much light on politics "behind the scenes", including the Irish Treaty, the 1926 General Strike, the Cliveden Set, and so on.

When Baldwin became Prime Minister in 1923, he decided to retain Jones as Deputy Secretary, telling him on the day he was appointed Premier: "I shall want you to hold my hand, Tom". Baldwin appreciated Jones' value and they would remain friends for more than twenty years. During their first serious meeting, Baldwin expressed concern about the effects on Britain's commerce from the economic troubles in Europe. Jones immediately focused the conversation on to the social consequences. Baldwin told Jones in 1929:

"I am a Tory P.M., surrounded with a Tory Cabinet, moving in Tory circles. You don't let me forget or ignore the whole range of ideas that normally I should never be brought up against if you were not in and out of this room. You supply the radium...you have such an extraordinary width of friendships in all classes, and so many interests that through you I do gather impressions of what is being thought by a number of significant people whose minds I should not know, at any rate so well, but for your help. I think every Tory P.M. ought to have someone like you about the place."

A friend of many rich and influential people including the Astors, Jones excelled at extracting money from rich people for worthwhile causes, notably adult education: he founded Coleg Harlech in Gwynedd in 1927, was secretary, trustee and chairman of the Pilgrim Trust from 1930, and was instrumental in the founding of Newbattle Abbey College in Midlothian in 1937.

His contacts were useful in other situations too: for example, it was he who introduced Gareth Jones, subject of the 2019 film Mr Jones, to Lloyd George.

Later life
He was Chairman of Gregynog Press throughout its existence, and also helped set up CEMA, the Committee for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts (forerunner of the Arts Council) as well as the Army Bureau of Current Affairs (designed to 'supply mental stimulant' to British troops during the Second World War). From 1917 to 1933 he was the Chairman of the Romney Street Group, a think tank formed to generate policies for the post-war reconstruction of Britain.

Jones wrote the Dictionary of National Biography entries for three Prime Ministers: Lloyd George, Bonar Law and Baldwin.

Towards the end of his life Jones became President of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and was awarded the Gold Medal of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion, as well as finally agreeing to become a Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour.

He died in London on 15 October 1955.

Jones's daughter, Eirene White, became a Labour politician and minister.

Assessment
His biographer, Dr E. L. Ellis, claimed that Jones was invaluable to Lloyd George in dealing with the trade unions and the Irish Question, along with dissuading Baldwin from taking revenge in the aftermath of the General Strike. He "was on the side of light...A passionate belief in moderation and compromise" was central to Jones. Ellis also claims that Jones's philanthropy was matchless amongst his contemporaries: "he was the incarnation of public-spiritedness". Ellis called Jones, with Lloyd George and Aneurin Bevan, "the three greatest Welshmen in public life" in the twentieth century. The military historian Correlli Barnett in his history of Britain's international relations in the interwar period, called Jones "a man of simplicity and naivete remarkable in politics even for that age".

In September 2011, Compal announced it would form a joint venture with Lenovo to make laptops in China. The venture was expected to start producing laptops by the end of 2012.

In January 2015, Toshiba announced that due to intense price competition, it will stop selling televisions in the USA and will instead license the Toshiba TV brand to Compal.

In September 2018, it was revealed that due to overwhelming demand for the Apple Watch, Compal was brought on as a second contract manufacturer to produce the Apple Watch Series 4.

Franklin Gutiérrez

Franklin Rafael Gutiérrez (born February 21, 1983), nicknamed "Guti", is a Venezuelan former professional baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cleveland Indians, Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers. While primarily a center fielder throughout his career, Gutiérrez transitioned to right field for the Mariners in 2016. He is currently a special assignment coach for the Seattle Mariners organization.

Cleveland Indians
On November 18, 2000, Gutiérrez was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as an amateur free agent. On April 3, 2004, Gutiérrez was traded by the Los Angeles Dodgers with a player to be named later (Andrew Brown) to the Cleveland Indians for Milton Bradley and was assigned to Double-A Akron. He entered the season ranked by Baseball America as the No. 3 prospect in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and the top position prospect, possessing five-tool ability. Previously, Los Angeles refused to include Gutiérrez in a deal over the winter that would have landed the Dodgers first baseman Richie Sexson.

In 2005, Gutiérrez posted a .261 batting average and 42 RBI for Akron, and hit .254 with seven RBI in 19 games with Triple-A Buffalo (then affiliated with the Indians). Between his two minor league stops, he stole 16 bases in 22 attempts. He was among the players that the Indians called up when major league rosters expanded on August 31.

In 2006 after batting .278 in 90 games for Triple-A Buffalo, Gutiérrez played 43 games in the majors after being called up on June 16 and he stayed in the majors the rest of the season. In 2007, he once again began the season in Triple-A Buffalo, but after batting .341, he was called up for good on May 6.

On May 27, 2008, Gutiérrez hit his first career grand slam in an 8-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Seattle Mariners
On December 10, 2008, Gutiérrez was traded to the Seattle Mariners as part of a three-team trade. Mariners' general manager Jack Zduriencik noted that the trade would not have gone through had Gutiérrez not been included in the trade.

In 2008, Gutiérrez ranked 3rd among qualifying big league outfielders in ultimate zone rating, an all-inclusive fielding statistic. Gutiérrez won a Fielding Bible Award as the top fielding right fielder in MLB. Dave Niehaus called Gutiérrez "Death to Flying Things" after a diving catch, a nickname that previously belonged to Bob Ferguson.

In 2009, Gutiérrez had the most errors by a major league center fielder (7), due in part to the significant number of batted balls that he gets to. He led all of Major League Baseball in UZR and UZR/150, and was 6th in the AL in wins above replacement. Gutiérrez won another Fielding Bible Award as the top fielding center fielder in MLB. He batted .283/.339/.425, and ranked second in the American League with 13 sacrifice bunts.

On January 6, 2010, it was reported that Gutiérrez and the Mariners were working on a 4-year contract extension for $20.5 million with a team option for a fifth year.

In 2010, Gutiérrez was awarded his first Gold Glove. He finished the season with a 1.000 fielding average in 146 games as an outfielder. He also came in second place for Defensive Player of the Year on MLB.com awards. He batted .245/.303/.363.

In 2011, in 92 games he batted .224/.261/.273 with one home run. In 2012, in 40 games he batted .260/.309/.420 with 4 home runs.

On April 22, 2013, Gutiérrez spent 60 days on the disabled list due to hamstring injuries (trying to catch a ball), and was activated on June 22 against the Oakland Athletics, but injured his hamstring again after six innings.

On February 13, 2014, he informed the team that he would not be able to play during the 2014 season due to ankylosing spondylitis and irritable bowel syndrome.

On January 26, 2015, the Mariners re-signed Gutiérrez to a minor-league deal with a spring training invite. On June 24, he was recalled from AAA Tacoma to re-join the Major League club. On July 21, 2015, he hit a pinch-hit grand slam against the Detroit Tigers.

Los Angeles Dodgers
On February 20, 2017, the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Gutiérrez to a one-year, $2.6 million, contract. He played in 35 games for the Dodgers, primarily as a pinch hitter, and had 13 hits in 56 at-bats (.232 average) with one homer and eight RBI. His season was shut down for good in June because of a recurrence of ankylosing spondylitis, which had caused him to also miss the 2014 season. He elected free agency on November 2.

Coaching career
On January 27, 2021, it was announced that Gutiérrez had joined the Seattle Mariners organization as a special assignment coach.

Does this verse really need a commentary? Its meaning is plain enough without one and not made clearer by one. Ockham's razor and all that. (But let the god that is consensus rule, by all means!)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 21:41, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:State space search

Optimal?
From the article:
 * In game-playing, the minimax algorithm is the optimal form of such heuristic search.

Uh, really? Optimal in what sense? It's true that if you explore the entire tree, then minimax will find the best strategy playing against a perfect opponent. But that's just correctness, not optimality. When there are heuristics involved (as in this article), I don't see how there can be any formal concept of optimal, and I doubt that minimax meets even informal ones.

Advantages
How is "It is widely used in artificial intelligence" an advantage of this search algorithm? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.149.97 (talk) 10:55, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
