RMS Criticisms (draft)
Stallman is characterized by some as being extremely difficult to work with. The XEmacs team, in particular, has catalogued a list of specific complaints about working with RMS that led them to fork off their project. These include:

 * 1) The high overhead and burdensome nature of the legal paperwork RMS requires to collaborate on software,
 * 2) RMS's seeming inability to cope with abstract data structures, which are a practical necessity in writing any sufficiently complex software product that is still maintainable.
 * 3) RMS's unwillingness to compromise on API issues.
 * 4) A "tit for tat" attitude towards compromise.  Ben Wing claims that Stallman's attitude towards compromise is motivated primarily by politics rather than by the desire to reach the best technical solution.

Jamie Zawinski released an archive of email messages detailing the history of the FSF Emacs/XEmacs split. He discusses specific shortcomings of the FSF Emacs design, but at a high level attributes the problems with FSF Emacs not simply to technology, but to Stallman's inability to work with others. Zawinski says: [Lucid Emacs was run] in a much more open, inclusive way than RMS ran his project. I was not just willing, but eager, to delegate significant and critical pieces of the project to other hackers once they had shown that they knew what they were doing. RMS was basically never willing to do this with anybody.

Stallman's insistence on using the term "GNU/Linux" to describe Linux-based operating systems is perceived as high-handed by some; Larry McVoy, author of Bitkeeper characterized this as "foolish and greedy".. Linus Torvalds has opined that while GNU/Linux may be an appropriate name for a GNU-based distribution, using that name for Linux in general is "just ridiculous." Others believe that Stallman is trying to coopt the hard work of others to compensate for the failure of the HURD to reach viability or commercial success.. Still others point out that the demand to prepend the "GNU" name onto Linux gives short shrift to other software projects, such as the X Window System, that are arguably just as important as the Gnu tools, and that the right to name a system belongs, from a moral and ethical perspective, with those who publish it.

Lake Tuggeranong

Lake Tuggeranong, an artificial lake sourced by the confluence of Tuggeranong Creek and stormwater discharge from urban and rural areas, is located in the Tuggeranong district of Canberra, within the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

The lake is situated adjacent to the Tuggeranong Town Centre, and is bounded by the suburbs of Bonython in the south-east and Kambah in the north-west.

Features
Lake Tuggeranong was created by the construction of a dam in 1987 coinciding with urban development in the district. The lake was built as a sediment trap for soil and debris, and to improve the quality of the water flowing into the Murrumbidgee River. Tuggeranong Creek feeds the Isabella Pond, that then flows into Lake Tuggeranong. The water quality of the lake is monitored by health and environmental agencies, and is subject to health hazards such as toxic blue-green algal blooms or high faecal bacteria counts, given the urban and rural runoff of the lake source.

The lake is a popular recreational site. The foreshore of the lake is parkland, with swimming, fishing, wind-surfing and non-motorised boating all possible activities on the lake. A bicycle path surrounds the lake, running for 6.7 km.

older comments
These are some of the review comments received for this article
 * No references
 * prose problems
 * lead too short

Some major edits.But still,documentation about his particular works has got a long way to go.And the sub headings under Writing Style needs to be improved.Also,further documentation of his long journey and involvement in freedom movement needs to be done Sahodaran 09:38, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Documentation of particular works have been done quite well.Sub-headings under writing style-could be changed to "autobiographical element" which is way better than the current one ("Fact" and "Fiction"),but then the content under this sub-heading should be mode some more eloquent.
 * should it not be: "Fantasy and life experience in works"?or "fantasy vs. reality"-Pournami 06:52, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Another thing that needs to be done according to me is to divide the Biography into three or more parts.His early life,and about his family-the first one,then about his long journey,then his involvement in the freedom movement,his association with the "extremists",then perhaps-about his settled life.All these in chronological order.Also, a Quotes section would be a good idea,I think.
 * --Sahodaran 18:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * ok, that division, seems sensible, but first, needs more material. ie, particular details about his jayilvaasam and freedom movement involvement, timing of publication and writing of major works.. once the content is more elaborate, the division must follow naturally. as of now, let it stay like this
 * --Pournami 18:56, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * the literary career didn't exaclty start with premalekhanam; things like jeevithanizhalpaadukal were written long befor baalyakalasakhi and premalekhanam. for a long time before publication of premalekhanam he wrote "theepori lekhanangal" and allara-chillara sahithyam, serialized in various publications.in the intro to jeevithanizhalpaadukal he says he had even forgotten that he ever wrote it; many years later someone dug it up from old publications and got it published as book. baalyakaalasakhi itself sat through some incubation perid, i think. -Pournami 11:48, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

How about changing

 * Vaikom Muhammad Basheer (b. at Thalayolapparambu in Vaikom, January 21, 1908; d. at Beypore in Calicut, July 5, 1994) is an important figure in modern Malayalam literature and one of India's greatest fiction writers. He is well known as a thinker, humanist, novelist and short story writer. His works are credited with making literature popular among the masses. He also took part in the Indian Independence Movement.The Indian government recognized his contributions by awarding him the prestigious Padma Sri in 1982.

Good work on Basheer.

I have made a few minor changes... - added few sentences about MATHILUKAL the film made by Adoor - separated/reorganized the paragraph about Basheer's family life - fixed a few minor typos

Meanwhile I have started a page on Sukumar Azhikode (a few days back finished TATHVAMASI and a page on Azhikode was the first thing that came to my mind) and made few corrections on M.T.Vasudevan Nair.

--Bayankaran 05:58, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I feel something needs to be done about the changes in convictions he had during his life.He is supposed to have become more religious in his later life.M.T writes in his intro to Sampoorna Krithikal;"Ntuppuppaakkoraanendaarnnu" ezhuthiya aal "Ormayude Arakal" ezhuthukayo?".See Anal Haq--Sahodaran 07:08, 19 October 2005 (UTC) --

talking of mt: this i read in basheer's intro to bhargavinilayam:(have my copy of sampoornakrithikal isked from somewhere now): kamukante diary was meant to be destroyed along with bhargavi story; basheer gave it to fabi to burn it, by some mistake or otherwise, she gave it to someone who asked for a work to publish, unbeknownest to basheer: he forgot about the whole thing long after, then mt and peple like npmuhammed mmbasheer etc went to see basheer and announced that they were going to publish it under the name "anu.." k.d. has mention of premalekhanam etc.; it was written when basheer was about 35; it is one hundred percent non-fiction, real life, says basheer. it was his diary and he wrote it down as stuff happened complete with dates. he didn't mean it as a novel or anything; the first time he got a letter from devi, he knew he had to record it all some place as and when it happened. the point is, it got awards etc, but it was meant to be destroyed initially. works did actuallly get destroyed, like bhraanthalokam; anyway; i haven't fully read the story till now, at various times have read it in pieces, but wasn't generally impressed by it, until i read basheer's wonderful intro today. and.. basheer was furious at mt for reclaiming his work from the ashes. perhaps part of the reason why its a difficult read is that a part of k.d. is non-basheer writing, original letters by devi --Pournami 11:48, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

devi story happpened in 1945

and the bits of bio: correlation evident? bicycle accident: majeed; karambipennu: thankam; water tap bit: jeevithanizhalpaadukal.. lots more

first jayilvasam
kannur: sentence was 3 months, probably spent more time that( second, tvm:sentence was 2.5 years: prob. didnt serve as much)

kadhaabeejam
i'm quite sure the writing of kadhabeejam is the writing of play mentioned in anu..; and that the story of kadhabeejam is partly borrwed from the period of near starvation in ekm, which in turn corresponds to  janmadinam, which must be makaram 7 or sometime january 1939 or 40..

however, selling books carrying them as headload from place to place etc. that is definiteley post 1942 imprisonment: that was when he started getting his works printed.

second period of poverty?
when paul died in 1952, basheer was in madras, and he was struggling for money. 1954 was when pathumma.. was written in mental hospital 1954 saw publication of a many books, newest vishwavikh.. mentioned in p. a. immedately after story of pa happened, basheer must have been hospitalised.

bio material
bio sourced from: M. P. Paul; {Pathraadhiparum karumbippennum(jeevitham oranugraham)}=aadyathe katha in some other collection prob. bhagavatgita; ormakkurippu-amma; intro to pathummayude aadu,

more material avan ente priya rafi, premodarahridayan; intros to bhaargavinilayam, jeevithanizhalpaadukal, anuragathnte etc

Failed GA
I "quick-failed" this article, which was listed at WP:GAC, for the same problems brought up in its Featured Article nomination, mostly the fact that the article does not contain any references/footnotes. Feel free to resubmit to WP:GAC, but only when the article is fully cited. Happy editing. -- Kicking222 14:45, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

DOB
Is his DOB 21-jan ??? I have seen it as 19 jan in basheer literature published by DC Books.

"UK 82" punk gets 631 google hits, and "UK82" punk gets 529 more. Not tons, but a fair number. The article's been cleaned up a bit, but if it's not expanded it should probably be merged and redirected somewhere. Maybe hardcore punk. And by the way, the Charged GBH article does specify them as UK 82, and has for more than a year. Anyway, if kept move to UK 82. -R. fiend 21:22, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Fujiyama (roller coaster)

Fujiyama (富士山) is a steel roller coaster at Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyoshida, Japan. When Fujiyama opened in July 1996, it was the world's tallest roller coaster at 259 ft, and had the largest drop in the world at 230 ft. Fujiyama was also the world's fastest roller coaster for a year of its operation, being succeeded by Tower of Terror at Dreamworld theme park in Queensland, Australia in 1997. Despite being the world's fastest roller coaster for a year, Fujiyama set no official world records for roller coaster speed. The Steel Phantom coaster at Kennywood in Pennsylvania, U.S., set the world record for speed instead.

Name
Fujiyama is named after the iconic Mount Fuji, which stands to the west of Tokyo. The term Fujiyama comes from "fuji", and "yama" which means mountain. Mount Fuji is seldom referred to as "Fujiyama" in the Japanese language, but is instead more commonly referred to as "Fujisan", using the on'yomi pronunciation of the "mountain" character. The roller coaster Fujiyama is named as a play on the common foreign mistransliteration.

Design
As with many Japanese roller coasters, Fujiyama has a maximum rider age of 64 years old), as well as the height restrictions typical of any roller coaster. If an unlimited ride ticket has not been purchased, it also has a separate entrance fee (2,000 yen). The layout of Fujiyama is that of a typical out-and-back roller coaster. It incorporates many of the elements that are typical of this coaster design, including a large first drop, "headchopper" elements, and a series of small "bunny hills" near the end of the coaster's course.

Reception
Given its record-breaking status, Fujiyama attracted considerable attention when it opened. The ride has been rated positively by many reviewers, garnering 5 stars in Steven Urbanowicz's The Roller Coaster Lover's Companion. Fujiyama did not, however, achieve a listing amongst the top 50 steel roller coasters in Amusement Today's 2009 Golden Ticket Awards.

In medical literature
Fujiyama inadvertently attracted attention in 2000 after an article was published in the journal Neurology. The article discussed the possible relationship between riding roller coasters and the occurrence of subdural hematomas. The primary case study cited by the authors was a woman who had reported severe headaches after riding several roller coasters at Fuji-Q Highland, including Fujiyama. Upon investigation, it was discovered that this woman did in fact have a subdural hematoma. Subsequent research, however, has maintained that this risk remains low and is not unique to this particular coaster.

Talk:Nefazodone

Untitled
Nice edits, Rmky87. Thanks. -WanderingHermit.

Argh, I can't figure out how to change the brand name to the chemical name (under the molec Insert non-formatted text here ule picture). Oh well. - Fuzzform 22:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I added a bit about the availability of nefazodone in the US. I will add a detailed section on side effects later, as nefazodone is associated with numerous reports of visual disturbances and anxiety, probably due to one of its primary metabolites, m-chlorphenylpiperazine. Porkchopmcmoose 22:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Serzone Equals Sleep
I have struggled with depression since my adoloscence and was prescribed Aropax (Sp?) at the age of 18 with no results positive nor negative.

At the age of 23 I tried Serzone after some investigation on the internet. As I recall, the prescription indicated a dose every eight hours. In my case, this resulted in an almost constant state of drowsiness. I would sleep for six or seven hours and awaken in time for the next dose. I quit the stuff after two or three weeks. The causes and effects of depression are wide and varied and, having since beaten the disease after a long struggle, I know that, at least for some of us, the torment may be beaten via a non-pharmaceutical approach. Jones

Nefazodone and Sleep/Libido
No question that this medication is beneficial with sleep. But it should not be dosed every 8 hours; it can be dosed once daily or twice daily (refer to rxlist.com). Its sedative properties are similar to its "cousin", Trazodone, which is commonly used in the U.S. as a sedative in those that have addiction potential; often used as a sleep medication in Alcohol/Substance abuse treatment centers.

<<< Really? I was always told to take it in the morning (when only taking one per day) because it tends to be "energizing." >>> 71.112.87.162 (talk) 12:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

In regards to libido, Nefazodone can be combined with lower doses of SSRIs, since it potentiates the effect of the SSRI (anxiolytic) without having to use full doses of SSRIs which all have noted sexual side effects. Please note, SSRIs, despite being called anti-depressants, are in fact the best anti-anxiety medications on the market. DirkMc (talk) 02:50, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

"Please note, SSRIs, despite being called anti-depressants, are in fact the best anti-anxiety medications on the market." Better than benzodiazepines like Alprazolam and Clonazepam? Better than the Phenelzine? Better than Pregabalin? SSRIs aren't the best anxiolytic medications on the market on any level, including the possible difficulty of withdrawal. About its possible use to decrease the dosage of other antidepressant drugs with worst side effect profile, you're right. --WhereIsMarty (talk) 06:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

<<< It depends what you mean by "best." There are a number of reasons they like to prescribe SSRI's for anxiety instead of benzos... they do not tend to produce tolerance, and their effects are very slow, so they have much lower abuse potential than benzos. Benzodiazepene's are most effective for occasional episodes of anxiety, like the ones some people get when flying or speaking in public, whereas SSRI's give baseline coverage for chronic anxiety disorders. I don't know about Phenelzine or Pregabalin. Besides, your little sister is a lot less likely to steal your Nefazodone. :) >>> 71.112.87.162 (talk) 12:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Nefazodone is in fact available in the U.S. Opening paragraph is misleading
Serzone (brand name) is no longer available in the U.S. Possibly not anywhere. Nefazodone (generic name) is available in the U.S. 2602:306:CDB2:4860:2998:8465:43F1:58FB (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:26, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Might be linked to dementia
Serzone might cause liver failure as the article states. It also might contribute to dementia similarly to the anticholinergics which are now strongly linked to dementia.

If you are referring to Pubchem, please be advised that it is MERS compliant. Question about PubChem, Sigma Aldrich and ChemSpider

Are the sources above reliable? Nihaal The Wikipedian (talk) 13:51, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PubChem (US NCBI) and ChemSpider (UK RSC) are reliable. Sigma Aldrich is a private corporation (owned by Merck), so it depends on the context. François Robere (talk) 14:32, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The other citations were from medical literature.

If you have a bona fide reason to revert, that's ok with me. However, you should then briefly discuss on the talk page what the reasons were for reverting and what specific citations you thought were not MERS compliant. I can then decide whether I want (or can) find citations to bring the article into compliance. Simply reverting and making claims underneath the reversion, without more, doesn't come across as acting in good faith. The goal here is to improve the articles.

As to any NPOV, I can provide cites for those. 2601:6C5:300:3FA0:5871:3CFE:17C8:E90F (talk) 00:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

 * WP:MEDRS, not 'MERS'. Chemical databases may be reliable in some contexts, but the requirements for claims about health are much more stringent. Statements from major medical organizations (like the WHO) or systematic reviews are the standard. Chemical databases, medical research articles, primary studies or sites like 'antidepressantsfacts.com' do not meet the standard. Your personal opinions about corruption at the FDA have no place in this article. MrOllie (talk) 03:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Question about why edits on article were reverted
Third party requested. See above.

Editor who reverted, whether correct or not, should recuse himself due to his admonishment to me and previous interaction on another topic. Biolitblue (talk) 00:24, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

 * There were blatant failues of neutrality (highlighting the profound corruption at the FDA) as well as sources that did not actually support the claims in question (chemical database used for health claims), and sources that plainly do not meet WP:MEDRS used for health claims (antidepressantsfacts.com, primary medical studies). Properly sourced text such as the incidence of liver problems was also removed without explanation. I will raise this issue at WikiProject Medicine's talk page for additional comment. There is no policy based reason to for my recusal so I decline that. MrOllie (talk) 03:17, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) There were blatant failures of neutrality ( highlighting the profound corruption at the FDA ):
 * Nope, you're wrong.
 * 2) Sources that did not actually support the claims in question (chemical database used for health claims), and sources that plainly do not meet WP:MEDRS used for health claims (antidepressantsfacts.com)
 * Nope, you're wrong. Pubchem is citable to show the lipophilicity of a drug, or any other characteristic of the drug published on that site. I can then use a secondary medical source to show that high lipophilicity of a drug exerts hepatotoxic effects.
 * If Pubchem has a pictogram, it is also citable for that claim.
 * Lastly, I didn't cite to antidepressantsfacts.com
 * 3) The information was deleted because it is unreliable, especially given other evidence. The manufacturer's claim, if that was what it was, regarding the incidence of liver problems is out of date and there is more than a credible reason for believing the information is false.
 * The claim cannot be verified because hepatotoxicity is usually asymptomatic and often takes time to manifest. Liver function tests (which is a misnomer in itself) are not dispositive. ALT for example is a tardive biomarker, and is a biomarker of hepatocellular death, not inflammation or stress.
 * The bit about stopping the drug if ALT and AST are 3x over the normal limit is not only highly problematic, but could constitute malpractice if you were a physician. Those values represent acute hepatotoxicity and hepatocellular death. I deleted it not only because it is wrong but could subject the site or the author to liability.
 * 4) Your point regarding primary medical sources appears to be correct. I will obtain secondary sources for them, which should not be difficult. And there's the rub: that's what you should have asked me to provide rather than reverting the page again. Something like, "hey, thanks for your edits, but I see you used some primary medical sources. Wikipedia's rules require secondary medical sources. Please amend the page to include secondary medical sources or I'll have to revert it."   Biolitblue (talk) 04:27, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Nope, you're wrong. - The neutrality problem is clear, and your attacks on the FDA had zero basis in reliable sourcing.
 * Pubchem is citable to show the lipophilicity of a drug, or any other characteristic of the drug published on that site. I can then use a secondary medical source to show that high lipophilicity of a drug exerts hepatotoxic effects. - That is textbook WP:SYN. You cannot combine sourcing in that manner on Wikipedia.
 * As to your complaint about reverting, I'm not going to argue process with you beyond stating that reverts are part of standard editing practice on Wikipedia. The burden is on you to get consensus for your changes, and it is not normal practice to leave problematic content in an article while someone fixes it. It is removed and is then only restored when it gains consensus. MrOllie (talk) 04:34, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I find it quite a coincidence that you're interested in this drug and recursion. Biolitblue (talk) 05:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) I didn't attack the FDA. Where is your evidence? Public Citizen objected to the FDA's decision to keep the drug on the market, but I'm not Public Citizen.
 * I can countenance your neutrality argument if you think Public Citizen has agenda other than what it purports to be, but I do think it does and I don't think many others would think it does either. I reject the claim that PC is anti-FDA for the heck of it or for politic reasons. The organization is reliable as far as I can discern.
 * Additionally, the notion that the FDA has some kind of divine right of unassailable authority, and that any editor who cites a group that disagrees with them is being non-neutral, is quite twisted and somewhat authoritarian in posture.
 * I don't think this idea of neutrality is feasible, proper, or tenable.
 * 2) True.
 * However, I would imagine that the purpose of the synth rule is to prevent editors from adding things up in a way that produces an illogical or spurious conclusion . This isn't a spurious conclusion via synthing though. In the meantime, I will try to find a secondary medical source.
 * 3) Ok, fair enough. Biolitblue (talk) 05:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Third party requested.
 * I'm challenging the following objections raised:
 * 1) The neutrality objection. Please see my response above; and
 * 2) The synth rule objection.
 * If a simple inference can be drawn directly from existing citable sources, it wouldn't be considered original synthesis and wouldn't violate the SYNTH rule.
 * In this case, a simple inference that Pubchem's numerical lipophilicity of a drug, together with a secondary medical source showing that high lipophilicity of a drug exerts hepatotoxic effects, is a simple inference.
 * Thank you. Biolitblue (talk) 06:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't attack the FDA. Where is your evidence? - In this diff you wrote in the edit summary the FDA's corrupt role in approving it and keeping it on the market and highlighting the profound corruption at the FDA in the article. Please don't waste time denying things that are easily found in the page history. - MrOllie (talk) 13:28, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That was the first draft. The second draft omitted it.
 * Your tone to me is consistently antagonistic. You are also hounding me.  Biolitblue (talk) 22:57, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Thank you for promptly reviewing the matter and responding to my request.
 * 1) The hepatotoxicity section in the beginning is not given undue placement because it is one of the most problematic drugs still on the market. It has been permanently withdrawn in many countries. The continued availability of the drug in the United States has been criticized in the literature, as has the FDA's decision and the manufacturer's conduct regarding the marketing of the drug. I left that out due to objections by another editor, to avoid politicizing, and to avoid overcomplicating the article regarding matters that do not pertain to the drug itself, which should be the focus.
 * The undue weight rule states that "[a]n article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject, but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. (emphasis in bold added).
 * I can place it lower down in the article by putting more background information at the beginning, but I must request that it appear prominently above the fold.
 * The "second" reference to hepatotoxicity being mentioned is discussed in the Background section. I did not prepare that version of the article, but I can and agree it should be deleted.

 * 2) Your assertion that consuming myriad other lipophilic compounds without experiencing hepatic failure, implying that fat presumably from food sources and the lipophilicity of a drug are comparable with respect to hepatotoxicity, demonstrates a lack of understanding of the subject matter. It is false equivalence.

You are also implying that acute liver failure after a short duration of ingestion of this drug is the only problem. It is not. Acute liver failure, DILI induced fibrosis, and extracellular matrix formation on the liver parenchyma are major concerns if this drug is consumed for several months at the doses prescribed for depression. Sometimes antidepressants are prescribed and consumed for years or indefinitely, which is a profound concern. The consumption of other medications often accelerate disease progression and injury type. Those with depression who are prescribed an antidepresssant are often prescribed other drugs as well.
 * I'll accept your ruling that it is WP:SYNTH but you did not explain your reasoning. It is merely conclusory, even if it is correct. I don't understand why it is definitely WP:SYNTH given the reasons I stated.
 * "A subsection on the pathophysiology of Nefazodone in the liver would be a good addition." I'm not sure we know the mechanisms for sure. Although some secondary medical references exist that identify in vitro tests which found that mitochondrial perturbations and endoplasmic reticulum stress are implicated, these tests do not necessarily recapitulate similar effects in vivo in humans.  Biolitblue (talk) 23:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Your edits continue to contain the same sourcing (failure to comply with WP:MEDRS requirements) and WP:SYN issues, POV pushing, and unjustified deletions. MrOllie (talk) 04:29, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Your objections should have some explanation.
 * As to WP:MERS, I cited a secondary source and cited the primary source. I'm looking at other medical articles and many go with primary sources only. What specifically is not compliant with WP:MERS?
 * Where is there POV pushing? I removed the reference to Public Citizen. The other references to PC were in the previous draft. What content is ok with you and what isn't? Maybe I can delete what you think is objectionable so we can move on without edit warring.
 * I didn't delete stuff, I moved it around. In fact, I deleted a reference in the existing version to hepatotoxicity to remove a redundancy, which MaligneRange requested.  Biolitblue (talk) 19:18, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Re: WP:MEDRS, a secondary source is not the standard MEDRS requires. You've been told all this stuff before, for example at Talk:Fluoxetine. I'm not going to go cite by cite with you. You can either start by proposing smaller edits on the talk page, or you can go read and understand the guideline.
 * Re: POV pushing, The insertion of your personal opinions, for example 'unfortunately' and your overall tilting of the article away from the mainstream view and towards the view that it is toxic poison, which is also being commented on by the 3O's you have been requesting.
 * Re: I didn't delete stuff You plainly did delete the incidence figures again. It is really difficult to assume good faith when you keep claiming things never happened (as you also did above with the FDA stuff, and your claim that you didn't cite antidepressantsfacts.com) when it is plain to see that you did in fact do these things in the article history. - MrOllie (talk) 19:29, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You're wrong. You continue with this. Why?
 * Again, what edits are you ok with? Editors are supposed to cooperate and iron out differences. Biolitblue (talk) 20:16, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You're wrong. - It's all right there in the article history for anyone to check.
 * You continue with this. Why? Your edits are not policy compliant and make the article worse.
 * what edits are you ok with? Edits that proceed with WP:CONSENSUS support from the article talk page. (Requesting third opinions and then telling them they're wrong when they disagree with you is not consensus) and that comply with important Wikipedia policies, such as WP:MEDRS, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV. - MrOllie (talk) 20:44, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No, you're time wasting, You claimed that I'm constantly deleting the same content over and over again.
 * Nope, where I thought they were incorrect on some points I said so. Overall, I asked what everyone thinks is ok so we can try to work out differences.
 * Your comment of proceeding with WP:CONSENSUS is circular and condescending. I know this and am trying to comply but I'm not getting cooperation regarding what we can all accept. Biolitblue (talk) 20:53, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No, you're time wasting, You claimed that I'm constantly deleting the same content over and over again. You clearly are. But if you think I'm the one who is being dishonest here, feel free to report that to WP:ANI. MrOllie (talk) 20:59, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) It's still undue weight as per the reasons I gave above. This isn't a website for US-specific PSAs, but an encyclopedia. Concerning your request to place it prominently above the fold: I have to correct my statement above where I said it was mentioned twice in the introduction, all of the three paragraphs of the introduction mention it's hepatoxicity. It doesn't get much more above the fold than that.
 * 2) Labeling something as a drug tells us nothing about it's biochemistry. Whether we classify something as a drug or a food is completely irrelevant to how the liver metabolizes it.
 * 3) "Acute liver failure, DILI induced fibrosis, and extracellular matrix formation on the liver parenchyma are major concerns if this drug is consumed for several months at the doses prescribed for depression." This might be true, but would also need MEDRS sources.
 * 4) "I'm not sure we know the mechanisms for sure." That seems to be the case, which should be shown in the article instead of original research. In vitro mechanisms can imho be added to the article if they are clearly labeled as such.
 * Concerning your latest edit: I'm not sure why you've decided to remove so much content, and I think MrOllie's reversion was justified for the reasons they gave. Again, there's definitely parts in there that could be integrated into the article. MaligneRange (talk) 08:26, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) "This isn't a website for US-specific PSAs, but an encyclopedia."
 * I know, and that's a gratuitous statement.
 * I think mentioning the cases of liver failure and the FDA evaluation of the drug underneath where I placed it is reasonable. Given that the problem is serious, it doesn't violate the undue weight rule since the rule clearly states that weight may be given in accordance with its significance. It is mentioned in different contexts: in a context involving reported cases and in an FDA evaluation. Simply stating that it is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the issue is being flogged.
 * Where do you think the information belongs?
 * 2) the word, "it's" should be "its" for your information.
 * "Whether we classify something as a drug or a food is completely irrelevant to how the liver metabolizes it."
 * No, you're wrong.
 * 3) Ok.
 * 4) I know I can, but since you are raising so many objections I'm trying to stick with the least controversial stuff. Biolitblue (talk) 19:35, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You've been told more or less the same thing by three people, two of which responded to the 3OR you yourself placed. Your arguments have been heard, everyone but you agrees they don't hold and you've been given the reasons why. Seeing your replies here, especially the later ones, I'll have to agree with Ollie's and Anon's assessment: Seek consensus first and/or take a break. MaligneRange (talk) 08:01, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * FYI Biolitblue has been blocked and most likely will not be responding here any further. MrOllie (talk) 13:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

 * 1) "I agree that Biolitblue's version, i.e. "Jan 15th" and the rest of the first paragraph._
 * Stop. This is blatant time wasting. I dropped that version, which is clearly evident in the article history record.
 * 2) Dropping the the incidence of liver damage is needed because of the reasons stated earlier. Other stuff is fine.
 * 3) "Maybe we can add the fact that it's ranked in DILIrank severity class 8 (ideally with more lay-accessible wording)."

 * Most people probably do not know what DILI stands for.

 * 4) "The preexisting article seemed to be plenty plain in stating that it is banned in some countries and has serious liver toxicity, which seems sufficiently alarming to me, with the issues covered well enough."
 * No, it is not but I'm willing to compromise.
 * 5) Your third paragraph, no problem.
 * 6) "My advice to Biolitblue, who seems to have a valuable body of medical knowledge, is perhaps to take some time away, work on less contentious topics (than this or, for example, Israel–Palestine)."
 * Blatant condescending and sarcastic comments violate Wikimedia's code of conduct. Biolitblue (talk) 20:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Controversies
In the section of this article, "Controversies and bias", an author states that "E! is often accused of dispensing 'shallow' and 'irrelevant' news and of supporting a liberal bias. It is strongly critical of the Republican Party in general, and George W. Bush in particular, especially of his judgment in beginning the Iraq War."

I think this section should be deleted if examples of such liberal bias are not listed. It is definitely unfair to deem the network biased without evidence for our readers to decide for themselves. This section seems to be more of an opinion than a fact and belongs in a blog and not Wikipedia.

 * I agree. Searching for 'liberal bias' online is less than productive, though. :p Ipsenaut 07:30, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

There used to be a bumper segment with a man (wearing a helmet?) carrying the E! logo around on his back while music played and some deep voices said "E!"

E! Presents
Comcast's "Video On Demand" is presented by something called "E! Presents - Video On Demand" featuring a rotation of various well-known E! hosts. This cannot be listed in the stub article on E! programming because it does not air on E!, but it IS an example of an E! production.

Reelz
Currently, the only entry in the "See Only" section is "Reelz." Apparently it is listed due to its similarity of content to E!'s early incarnation as Movietime. I don't see any other connection - certainly no direct connection. Its slight similarity to what E! once was is dubious enough, but there is even less reason to "See Also" it now. If the goal was to present a list of similar channels, others could be found that share some elements in common with E!. I'm not sure why we would want such a list, but if similar content is an interest to a reader of this article; then, it should be better than this one, random-seeming, entry.

Liugong Island

Liugong Island is a small island located on the northeastern edge of Shandong Peninsula, China, at the mouth of Weihai Bay. It is known as the "birthplace of China's first modern navy"  and is also the site of its defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War.

Geography
Liugong Island is located about 4 kilometers ($2 1/2$ miles) from the city of Weihai. It has an area of 3.15 square kilometers ($1 1/4$ sq. mi.), with a maximum length of 4.08 kilometers ($2 1/2$ miles) (in east-western direction) and a maximum width of 1.5 kilometers (1 mile). The coastline has a total length of 14.93 kilometers ($9 1/4$ miles). In general, the terrain of the island slopes down from the north to the south. With an altitude of 153 meters (502'), Qiding Mountain, is the highest point of the island. Its northern slope is made up of cliffs, whereas the southern side of the hill slopes down more gently. Tourists can only arrive by boat.

More than half of the island's area (about 1.8 square kilometers; 450 acres) is covered by forest, predominantly consisting of black pine trees. The forest is protected by a national forestry park. On the island there is also a zoo, within which there are two pandas and a few other animals, of which some were gifts by the Taiwanese government to China.

Naval training grounds are also located on the island, along with a museum documenting the history of the First Sino-Japanese War, and a memorial to the Beiyang Fleet.

History
Archaeological evidence suggests that the island has been inhabited at least from the Warring States period onwards. During the times of the Han dynasty, the island was settled by members of the Liu family which resulted in the present-day name.

The use of the island was subject to several changes during the Ming dynasty: At first, all inhabitants left the island because of pirate threats. During the reign of the Jiajing Emperor, a rebel force led by Xian Wang sought refuge on the island, but the rebellion was put down shortly thereafter. Towards the end of the reign of the Wanli Emperor, settlers were recruited to re-cultivate the island. They were guarded against pirate attacks by a detachment of troops. Subsequently, a rise in shipping activities between the north and the south of China brought prosperity and an increase in population to the island.

In 1663, the island's population was evacuated yet again, this time in response to the outbreak of an epidemic. 27 years later, in 1690, the island was resettled by three families (Cong, Zou, and Jiang). In 1703, the island was chosen as the base for another rebel force, but again the rebellion was short-lived.

During the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, the Beiyang Fleet was founded as China's first modern navy and a telegraph center, a naval academy, and the headquarters of the Beiyang Naval Units were set up on Liugong Island.

This resulted in the construction of many facilities and an increase in the island's population. Eight out of 15 modern warships which were bought from the United Kingdom and Germany were assigned to the Beiyang Fleet. On September 14, 1888, Ding Ruchang was given the command of the Beiyang Fleet. From 1887 onward, more than 100 cannons were set up around the harbour of Weihai as well as on the islands of Liugong and Ri. Eventually, Ding Ruchang made Liugong Island his official residence. A T-shaped dock, known as the "iron dock", was constructed in the years 1889 to 1891. During the First Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Fleet suffered a crushing defeat and in the spring of 1895, the island was occupied by Japanese forces.

Ding Ruchang committed suicide. The Japanese occupation lasted for about three years. In 1898, the United Kingdom bought the island (along with the rest of Weihaiwei) from the Japanese and agreed to hand it back to China after 25 years of use or when the Russians left nearby Port Arthur. Local Chinese were recruited into a British regiment but the island was not fortified. The Royal Navy established a base on Liugong Island occupying and extending the existing facilities. Residences, hospitals, churches, tea houses, a sport ground, a post office, and navy cemeteries were constructed as part of the British development of the area. When the Russians left Port Arthur in 1905, the terms of the lease meant Britain should return the island to China. England re-negotiated the lease with the Chinese to counter a new German presence in the area. Weihaiwei was returned to the Republic of China in 1930, after which it was a special administrative region. The Chinese government allowed the Royal Navy to continue to use the naval base for another ten years under a lease. Japan invaded Weihaiwei in 1938, so after that, there was a withdrawal of most British forces and supplies from Liugong, and finally a Japanese military landing and occupation of the island on 1 October 1940 (a day after Japan considered the lease expired, although Britain did not agree that their rights had lapsed as a new lease had been negotiated).

In 1949, the island was occupied by the People's Liberation Army. The occupation is not recognized by the government of the Republic of China in accordance with its constitution.

Trimyristin

Trimyristin is a saturated fat and the triglyceride of myristic acid with the chemical formula C45H86O6. Trimyristin is a white to yellowish-gray solid that is insoluble in water, but soluble in ethanol, acetone, benzene, chloroform, dichloromethane, ether, and TBME.

Occurrence
Trimyristin is found naturally in many vegetable fats and oils.

Isolation from nutmeg
The isolation of trimyristin from powdered nutmeg is a common introductory-level college organic chemistry experiment. It is an uncommonly simple natural product extraction because nutmeg oil generally consists of over eighty percent trimyristin. Trimyristin makes up between 20-25% of the overall mass of dried, ground nutmeg. Separation is generally carried out by steam distillation and purification uses extraction from ether followed by distillation or rotary evaporation to remove the volatile solvent. The extraction of trimyristin can also be done with diethyl ether at room temperature, due to its high solubility in the ether. The experiment is frequently included in curricula, both for its relative ease and to provide instruction in these techniques. Trimyristin can then be used to prepare myristic acid or one of its salts as an example of saponification.

Jarhead (film)

Jarhead is a 2005 American biographical war drama film based on the 2003 memoir of the same name by Anthony Swofford, chronicling his military service in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Persian Gulf War. Directed by Sam Mendes, the film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Swofford with Jamie Foxx, Peter Sarsgaard, Lucas Black, and Chris Cooper.

Universal Pictures released the film November 4, 2005 to mixed reviews and a disappointing box office, grossing $97 million against a $72 million budget. Named for the military slang among U.S. Marines, the film eventually spawned a direct-to-video series of three subsequent films.

Plot
In 1989, Anthony "Swoff" Swofford, whose father served in the earlier Vietnam War (1955–1975), attends United States Marine Corps recruit training before being stationed at Camp Pendleton, California. Claiming that he joined the military because he "got lost on the way to college", Swofford finds his time at Camp Pendleton difficult and struggles to make friends. Although Swofford feigns illness to avoid his responsibilities, a "lifer", Staff Sergeant Sykes, takes note of his potential and offers Swofford an opportunity to attend his competitive Scout Sniper course.

After grueling training, eight Marines graduate: among them Swofford, now a sniper, and Swofford's roommate Corporal Alan Troy who becomes his spotter. When Kuwait is invaded by Iraq, Swofford's unit is deployed to the Arabian Peninsula as a part of "Operation Desert Shield" in the Gulf War (1990–1991). Eager for combat, the Marines find themselves bored with their remedial training, constant drills, and routine responsibilities. The monotony prompts many to talk about the unfaithful girlfriends and wives waiting for them at home. They even erect a bulletin board featuring annotated photographs revealing what perfidies the women had committed (known in military slang as a "Jodie Wall").

Swofford obtains unauthorized alcohol and organizes an impromptu Christmas party, arranging for Fergus to cover his watch so he can celebrate. Fergus accidentally sets fire to a tent while cooking some sausages and ignites a crate of flares, waking the whole camp and enraging Staff Sergeant Sykes. Afterwards, rather than assign blame to Fergus, Swofford accepts full responsibility for the incident. Consequently, Swofford is demoted from lance corporal to private and receives "shit-burning" detail. The punishments, combined with the heat, the boredom, and Swofford's suspicions of his girlfriend's infidelity, give Swofford a mental breakdown, to the point where he threatens Fergus with a rifle and then demands that Fergus shoot him.

Later, Operation Desert Storm begins and the Marines are sent to the Kuwait–Saudi Arabia border. Swofford learns from Sykes that Troy concealed his criminal record when enlisting and will be discharged when the unit returns home. Troy becomes distant from his friends. Knowing that Troy will not be allowed to reenlist, the Marines attack him with a red-hot USMC branding iron, marking him as one of their own. Following an accidental air attack from friendly forces, the Marines advance through the desert, facing no enemies on the ground. The Marines march through the infamous "Highway of Death" (on the northbound road leading back to Iraq from capital Kuwait City), strewn with the burnt vehicles and charred bodies of retreating Iraqi soldiers, the aftermath of a bombing campaign. The Marines later catch sight of distant burning Kuwaiti oil wells, ignited only moments before by retreating Iraqis, and they attempt to dig sleeping holes as a rain of crude oil falls from the sky. Before they can finish, Sykes orders the squad to move upwind.

Near the end of the war, Swofford and Troy are finally given a sniping mission. Lieutenant Colonel Kazinski, their battalion commander, orders them to kill at least one of two high-ranking Iraqi Republican Guard officers at a nearby airfield. At the last second before Swofford takes the shot, Major Lincoln interrupts them to call in an air strike. Troy desperately pleads to make a kill, but is denied and overruled as the airplanes destroy the Iraqi airfield, much to his and Swofford's disappointment. The war ends without Swofford ever firing his rifle. During a monologue, Swofford realizes that all of his training and effort to achieve the elite status as a marine sniper is meaningless in modern warfare.

The Marines return home on a transport bus which is boarded by an inebriated Vietnam-era Marine who congratulates them, to their obvious discomfort. They later parade through a town in a jovial celebration of victory. Swofford returns home to his family and girlfriend but discovers she has a new boyfriend. Fowler is seen with a prostitute in a bar, now as a Corporal, Kruger in a corporate boardroom, Escobar as a supermarket employee, Cortez as a father of three children, and Sykes continuing his service as a first sergeant in the Iraq War. Later, Swofford learns of Troy's death during a surprise visit from Fergus. At Troy's funeral, they reunite with former comrades.

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 60% based on 199 reviews, with an average rating of 6.4/10. The site's consensus states: "This first-person account of the first Gulf War scores with its performances and cinematography but lacks an emotional thrust." Roger Ebert gave the movie three-and-a-half out of four stars, crediting it for its unique portrayal of Gulf War Marines who battled boredom and a sense of isolation rather than enemy combatants. Entertainment Weekly magazine gave the film a "B+" rating and Owen Gleiberman wrote: "Jarhead isn't overtly political, yet by evoking the almost surreal futility of men whose lust for victory through action is dashed, at every turn, by the tactics, terrain, and morality of the war they're in, it sets up a powerfully resonant echo of the one we're in today."

In his review for the Washington Post, Stephen Hunter praised Jake Gyllenhaal's performance: "What's so good about the movie is Gyllenhaal's refusal to show off; he doesn't seem jealous of the camera's attention when it goes to others and is content, for long stretches, to serve simply as a prism through which other young men can be observed". Sight and Sound magazine's Leslie Felperin wrote, "If nothing else, Jarhead provides some kind of reportage of a war whose consequences we haven't yet begun to understand, a war now elbowed into history by its still-raging sequel". USA Today gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "What we're left with is solid if not exceptional, though it's good to see Mendes expanding as a filmmaker". TIME magazine's Richard Schickel wrote, "But the best war movies—and this one, despite its being overlong and repetitive, is among them—hold that men fight (or in this case, are ready to fight) not for causes, but to survive and to help their comrades do the same".

However, in his review for The New York Times, A. O. Scott felt that the film was "full of intensity with almost no real visceral impact", and called it "a minor movie about a minor war, and a film that feels, at the moment, remarkably irrelevant". Kenneth Turan in his review for the Los Angeles Times wrote:

"Its polished surfaces and professional style can't compete with the gritty reality conveyed by documentaries like Gunner Palace and Occupation: Dreamland — or, for that matter, by the surreal black comedy of David O. Russell's Three Kings — that show in no uncertain terms what it's like to be a soldier in Iraq."

In his review for the Village Voice, J. Hoberman wrote, "A master of the monotone, Mendes prompts his performers to hit a note and sustain it. Although Jarhead is more visually accomplished and less empty than American Beauty or Road to Perdition, it still feels oppressively hermetic".

Nathaniel Fick, another author who is a Marine, gave the film a mixed review (and panned the book on which it is based) in Slate. He wrote, "Jarhead also presents wild scenes that probably could happen in combat units, but strips them of the context that might explain how they're more than sheer lunacy". James Meek, who reported from the battlefields of Iraq, wrote in The Guardian: "The key to a film about war is how it ends, and if the young man at the film's centre is lifted out of the battlefield uninjured and sane, if his family and home life before and after aren't prominent in the picture, the movie is diminished as a film which says something about war and becomes a simpler story of growing up, of jeopardy overcome".

Controversy
In a November 2005 New York Times article, David Carr noted that war veteran and writer Joel Turnipseed felt that parts of the film's plot had been taken from his 2002 book Baghdad Express: A Gulf War Memoir without his consent. Jarhead screenwriter William Broyles Jr. claimed that many similarities arise from the retelling of common Marine experiences.

Sequels
The film was followed by three direct-to-video sequels: Jarhead 2: Field of Fire (2014), Jarhead 3: The Siege (2016) and Jarhead: Law of Return (2019). Unlike the original, all three sequels are entirely fictional. They do not have connection to the original.

Move in My Direction

"Move in My Direction" is a song written by British musical duo Bananarama, David Clewett, and Ivar Lisinski for Bananarama's ninth studio album, Drama (2005). The song was produced by Mute 8 and received a mixed reception from music critics. It was released as the first single on 25 July 2005 and reached number 14 in the United Kingdom, becoming the duo's first top-40 hit in 12 years.

In the United States, "Move in My Direction" was not promoted as a single until after the number two dance club success of follow-up single "Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)". In August 2006, "Move in My Direction" entered the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, more than a year after its initial UK release.

Music video
The music video features Dallin and Woodward dressed up in fancy dresses while wandering listlessly by a busy road and sitting on a couch in an abandoned urban lot. Their shots are intercut with scenes of dancers performing dances ranging from tango to ballroom to breakdancing. The music video was directed by Phil Griffin.

Talk:Dag Hammarskjöld

Suggestions for improvement
This Article could be improved in a few ways. Firstly their is not much written about his actual career as a diplomat, arguably the reason why he is famous. I notice that the section about his death is longer than the section about his career as UN General Secretary, a pretty important job. He was a prominent person in the height of the Cold War and could be seen as a mediator between Khrushchev and Kennedy, and yet none of that is explored here.

Another thing I noticed is there are sections of this article that stray off topic. For example there is a section where it just states roads and landmarks that are named after him. This is not exactly an important part of Hammarskjold's legacy.

There is also a general need for citations in all sections of this article.Dan.herrick11791 (talk) 21:04, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

"RAF veteran ‘admitted 1961 killing"
This new Guardians story RAF veteran ‘admitted 1961 killing of UN secretary general’ may be of interest. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:33, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Daniel J. Hill / US involvement
In his 2014 memoirs "A Life of Blood and Danger", a semi-famous (but still redlinked) US soldier recounts a meeting with his superior where he strongly implies that during his tenure in the Katanga region he provided the "Land Rover engine block bomb" used in the assassination; in Hill's own telling, this is confirmed by such an engine being on the plane's cargo manifest, while in James B. Stewart's telling, Hill merely 'suspected a bomb'.

This is one of many incredible claims in the book; among them, that he was granted leave from occupied Germany to pay his respects to Otto Skorzeny in Spain, and that he was sent to infiltrate the FLN in Algeria shortly before being sent on to Katanga. But the level of detail he gives about the construction of the bomb, and the fact that a reliable source corroborates at least that he was in the region at the time, makes it a bit more compelling.

In light of the 2021 reporting on OAS involvement, hoping this comment summons a competent expert to direct us to some reputable secondary sources 🙏🙏

1914 Manitoba general election

The 1914 Manitoba general election was held on July 10, 1914 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Manitoba, Canada.

The result was a fifth consecutive majority government for the Conservative Party, led by premier Rodmond Roblin. The result, however, was much closer than in the previous general elections of 1903, 1907 and 1910.

Former Conservative leader Hugh John Macdonald believed that the party was hurt by its 1912 amendments to the Manitoba education code. Although Education Minister George R. Coldwell insisted the amendments were only meant to clarify existing provisions, many voters believed the Roblin government wanted to re-introduce funding for separate Roman Catholic schools. The government was also weakened by a corruption scandal involving the construction of new legislative buildings.

The Conservatives won twenty-eight seats, against twenty for the Liberal Party under Tobias Norris. Independent candidate Fred Dixon was also elected, with support from both the Liberals and the Labour Representation Committee. This election re-established the Liberals as a credible government-in-waiting.

Early in 1915, Roblin's administration was forced to resign from office after a report commissioned by the Lieutenant Governor found his government guilty of corruption in the awarding of contracts for new legislative buildings. Norris's Liberals were called to form a new administration, although they did not hold a majority of seats in the legislature. A new election was held, which the Liberals won in a landslide.

Electoral system
In this election Manitoba used a mixture of multi-member districts and single-member districts. In the multi-member districts - Winnipeg North, Winnipeg South and Winnipeg Centre - each member was elected in a separate contest through First past the post.

In each single-member district the member was elected through First past the post.

Results
The appearance of "third party" candidates presaged later developments when farmers and workers in such bodies as Independent Labour Party, the CCF and the NDP would play larger role in elections. Note two Labour Representation League candidates, in Assiniboia and Elmwood, and candidacy of Ferley (later ILP councillor on Winnipeg city council) in Mountain, as well as the successful campaign of Independent (Labour) candidate Fred Dixon, who would serve nine years as MLA.

Scrivener's contour map of the selected site was used as the basis for entries in the Canberra design competition. He was appointed first director of Commonwealth lands and surveys in 1910 and retired in 1915. He died aged 67 in Killara, New South Wales.

The Scrivener Dam on Lake Burley Griffin is named in his honour.

"Kocha" is less used (probably Pomor ?) variant of pronunciation of the name of the same Russian Arctic vessel "koch". So, the article "kocha" should be added (if it has any additional information) to the article "koch", or, most likely, just the spelling "kocha" may be given as a variant of "koch". I'll try to get back to these articles as soon as I can (maybe in a matter of several days) and fix this minor problem.

Any relation to the Hanze-period boat named "Kog" ? Specially since NW Russia had strong ties with Hanze.

I found picture of sailin koch: http://www.answers.com/topic/jpg-504 here: www.answers.com/topic/koch (text copied from wikipedia :-) ) 9 more pictures here: http://yun.complife.ru/pic/kmsm.htm Author allows to make copy of pics to other sites

Kotch
I suggest the title should be spelled Kotch, by analogy with "ketch" or "catch". This would be unambiguously pronounced коч. The way it is spelled now suggests that it is pronounced кох. Freederick (talk) 16:07, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * That is correct. It's pronounced [kotʃ]. 217.118.93.95 (talk) 23:42, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Heliotropium

Heliotropium is a genus of flowering plants traditionally included in the family Boraginaceae s.l., but placed in the family Heliotropiaceae within the Boraginales order, by the Boraginales Working Group.. There are around 325 species in this almost cosmopolitan genus, which are commonly known as heliotropes. They are highly toxic to dogs and cats, as well as to humans.

Etymology
The name "heliotrope" derives from the old idea that the inflorescences of these plants turned their rows of flowers to the Sun. Ἥλιος (helios) is Greek for "Sun", τρέπειν (trepein) means "to turn". The Middle English name "turnsole" has the same meaning.

A Classical myth, told in Ovid's Metamorphoses, imagines that the water nymph Clytie, in love with the sun god Helios, was scorned by him. Wasting away, she transformed into the heliotrope, whose flowers supposedly always face the Sun.

Morphology
Like other members of the Heliotropiaceae, plants in the genus Heliotropium have 5-merous, tetracyclic flowers and actinomorphic corollas. They likewise share in their characteristic terminal styles and highly modified stigmatic heads (basal stigma, infertile apex). Species in the genus are typically herbs or subshrubs exclusively and are characterized by their dry fruits that divide into two or four mericarpids.

Ecology and human use

Heliotropes are popular garden plants, most notably garden heliotrope (H. arborescens). Some species are weeds, and many are hepatotoxic if eaten due to abundant pyrrolizidine alkaloids. There have been cases of canine death due to over-ingestion of this toxic plant. Some danaine butterflies, such as male queen butterflies, visit these plants, being attracted to their pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Though it is not palatable and most animals will completely ignore it, there have been cases of horses, swine and cattle being poisoned due to contamination of hay.

Caterpillars of the grass jewel (Freyeria trochylus), a gossamer-winged butterfly, feed on H. strigosum.

The sap of heliotrope flowers, namely of European heliotrope (H. europaeum), was used as a food coloring in Middle Ages and Early Modern French cuisine.

One of the most famous ragtime piano melodies is "Heliotrope Bouquet", composed in 1907 by Louis Chauvin (the first two strains) and Scott Joplin (the last two strains).

Garden heliotrope is grown in Southern Europe as an ingredient for perfume.

The purplish facial rash of dermatomyositis is called "heliotrope rash" because it resembles E. arborescens.

Heliotrine and heliotridine
Seeds of the Heliotropium genus were discovered in the 1940s and 50s to be responsible for liver disease in populations that consumed them in large quantities, either inadvertently (as a contaminant of food crops) or deliberately (associated with the ingestion of herbal infusions for the treatment of certain ailments). The seeds contained high concentrations of pyrrolizidine alkaloids, identified mainly as the N-oxide of heliotrine (74%), and one or two other compounds similar in character to lasiocarpine. More recently, in 1993 and 2017, there have been reported cases of poisoning in Tajkistan from wheat contaminated with Heliotropium lasiocarpum seeds.

Taxonomy
Taxonomic revision supported through molecular phylogenetics led to the recognition of Euploca as genus separate from Heliotropium. In contrast, the genus Tournefortia was included in Heliotropium in a 2016 revision.

Within Heliotropium, there are four major clades:
 * Heliotropium sect. Heliothamnus I.M.Johnst.
 * Old World Heliotropium clade
 * Heliotropium sect. Cochranea (Miers) Post & Kuntze
 * Tournefortia clade, comprising Tournefortia sect. Tournefortia and all remaining New World Heliotropium species

Origins of diversification
Three of the four major clades within Heliotropium have their centers of diversity in South America. The origins of the remaining Old World Heliotropium clade can be traced back to a single colonization event from the New World. ITS1 data shows there is a single characteristic long deletion between positions 61 and 111 in the genome of the Old World species, which defines the Old World Heliotropium species and separates them from their New World counterparts. Researchers concluded this is a single autapomorphic character from a single deletion event in the past. This most reasonably explains how the whole group may have come to share this characteristic deletion when comparing the genomes of Old World and New World Heliotropium.

The most likely driver of Heliotropium diversification across the three New World clades is early Andean uplift. Researchers identified three independent diversification events in the phylogeny of Andean Heliotropium, whose timings correspond to late Miocene Andean uplift as well as the development of arid environments in South America during the Pliocene. These three diversification events each mark the separation of the Heliothamnus, Cochranea, and Tournefortia clades from the rest of Heliotropium.

Heliothamnus diversification is estimated to have taken place in the late Miocene. The age of Heliothamnus suggest that its diversification could have been triggered directly by the uplift of the Andes, something that would have promoted speciation in inner-Andean valleys and the Andean scrub. The majority of endemic Heliothamnus taxa in the region are restricted to these sorts of environments, further supporting this theory as the current leading theory explaining Heliothamnus diversification.

Before the main rise of the Andes, Cochranea and Tournefortia coinhabited the Andean region at the same time and significant speciation had not yet occurred. Once the Andes began to rise, Cochranea became isolated on the western side of the Andes while Tournefortia grew on the eastern side. This east-west division is still true of each group’s present distributions. The rise of the Andes affected the climate of the region and is believed to have contributed to the hyperaridity of the Atacama Desert, something that could have acted as an additional barrier to filter out other Heliotropium species into the range of Cochranea, thus promoting Cochranea speciation. Elevation differences would have also acted as barriers that helped promote speciation in Tournefortia species as many large groups within Tournefortia became well-adapted to high-elevation environments while other Heliotropium clades did not and thus could not coinhabit the same environments as Tournefortia.
