=Xingyi=

Thanks for your contributions... you may wish to add yourself to the List of Wikipedians by martial art

Interested in lineage
With your contributions to the xingyi page, its obvious that you know more about the art that the average punter - I'm interested in finding our what your style and branch of the xingyi family you sit in is ;)  [Personally, I'm a Hebei stylist with lineage through Guo Yun Shen] --Medains 08:44, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi there. I study Henan branch. Lineage unsure. This is somewhat embarassing because I have only been studying Xingyi for just over a week. I apologise for appearing proficient; my knowledge of the art accumulated doing internet research while finding a suitable teacher.

As you've probably noticed, the quality of information on the internet is dubious, partial and often badly written. So I created a text file on my computer where I consolidated all my research on Xingyiquan. Here, I was able to sift through the facts and streamline it into a digestable format. Soon, I had a decent summary of Xingyiquan's history and its basic principles. I noticed Wikipedia lacked a coherently-written history section for Xingyiquan (probably due to multiple authors chipping in over time) so I uploaded my work.

Again, I apologise for any deception my enthusiasm may have caused! I must admit that I am also afraid to ask my sifu about his lineage. He is a stern, humourless man and I don't want to appear as if I am distracted by academic (read: trivial, non-practical) matters! Tarkovsky

Ah, it might be considered rude to enquire about lineage after only a short practice time. But don't be afraid to ask questions (though the answer may involve being used as a demonstration dummy...) I've managed to get a lot of interesting stuff from my instructor - just by asking! --Medains 15:02, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Aha, well it just happens that I was talking with my sifu yesterday when he mentioned that he teaches a system with ten animals. I asked if he meant Henan style which he confirmed with some degree of surprise. And yes, I was also used as a practice dummy later by one of the senior students, funny how things work out isn't it? Tarkovsky

Xingyiquan
Hey,

I like what you've been doing with the Xingyiquan article.

Just one thing: pinyin naming conventions render three-character names as Familyname Firstgivencharactersecondgivencharacter rather than Familyname Firstgivencharacter Secondgivencharacter.

JFD 13:56, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh, ok! My apologies, I was wrong to edit it that way Tarkovsky

Wing Chun
Please stop edit warring at Wing Chun. It is an inappropriate method of editing an article. If you have concerns about the current structure and purpose of the article, or with edits being made by another editor, please discuss it at the Talk page instead. Large changes to an article are also best discussed (or at the very least announced) on the Talk page before beginning. Edit warring only serves to irritate any other editors who are trying to improve the article and who are not involved in your content dispute. — Saxifrage | ☎ 06:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

It's true that I've been editing the Wing Chun article for the past few weeks but I am unaware of any such 'edit war'. No one has messaged me specifically about the content of my edits. I have not received any messages from 'irritated' editors who are trying to improve the article...as far as I know I am the only one actually contributing to the article at the moment.

I have also proposed all major changes in the discussion section, which no one opposed or rarely commented on.

I didn't know these actions were considered 'war'-like by Wikipedia staff. If you could tell me specifically what I've done wrong and what part of my actions constitute 'edit-warring', I will strive to behave more appropriately in future Tarkovsky

 * Here I beg for forgiveness for mistaking the situation. I confused your edits with those of, whose editing history at Wing Chun is somewhat questionable. I'm not sure how I made that mistake, but I apologise profusely for my uncalled-for message above. I'm sorry, and thank you for your contributions to the article. (FYI, I'm not staff, just another editor looking out for the health of the project. My aim was just stupendously off that day.) — Saxifrage | ☎ 07:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

No worries mate, we all have days like that! Tarkovsky

Confucianism
You introduced an unexplained and dubious distinction between ethics and morality, you changed the correct assertion that Confucianism is Asian to the incorrect, overly narrow implied claim that it's Chinese (and added the false claim that Confucianism is simply the system produced by Confucius), you changed the correct "up to" to the incorrect "until" (incorrect because it implies that the influence then stopped)...  Part of the problem is that you seem to have misunderstood the nature of a summary; summaries do sometimes repeat what comes later.

Your edit summaries could also be more explanatory. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 13:12, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I'll respond to that here:

1. Morality is a system of values and ethics is the study of that system. Confucian texts address both, hence the distinction.
 * That isn't a universal nor generally accepted usage ("ethics" is frequently used to mean a system of values, as in codes of professional ethics, and "moral philosophy" is widely used in preference to "ethics" as a description of the study).
 * Fair enough. I don't study this field so my knowledge isn't up to scratch.

2. I haven't read 'Manufacturing Confucianism' which claims that European Jesuits 'invented' Confucianism for political purposes. Such a claim seems extraordinary and refutes the common claim of Chinese heritage. I do not want to maintain a 'status quo' here but such extraordinary claims should be sourced and affirmed by multiple authors before they are allowed to stand as 'truth'. Moreover, the article itself should reflect the assertion of 'East Asian' heritage. Presently, I only see Chinese names and origins mentioned.

Presently, 'Manufacturing Confucianism' is the only text cited to support the claim of European Jesuit invention. I propose that more texts be added before this is allowed to affect the entire article and the important opening paragraph which sets the tone for the article.

 * I wasn't referring to that thoery (indeed, saying that Confucianism is Asian is not to say that it was invented by Jesuits). rather, Confucianism, while originating in China, developed through contact with many other countries, most notably Korea and Japan.

 * Of course, but as the argument goes...despite many influences, Confucianism remains essentially Chinese. The texts certainly reflect this as its numerous analogies refer to Chinese political and social events. It's up for semantic debate but I won't pursue it further.

Obviously the article needs to flesh out Japanese/Korean aspects more as its fairly Chinese-centric presently.

3. "Up to" and "until" are interchangable in my opinion. "Up to" recalls limits and a cutting off of things eg "he filled the pool up to the brim with water", until seems more appropriate.

 * In the context of references to the present, "up to" simply refers to a period stretching to a certain time (as in "x has been true up to 21st century", which implies that x is still the case), while "until" implies a period that stops at a certain time ("x was true until the 21st century", which implies that x is no longer true).

 * I understand, thanks for clarifying that.

4. Lastly, my comment on repetition addressed repetitive aspects within the summary which defined Confucianism twice.

 * I'll look back at that.

Burracoppin, Western Australia

Burracoppin is a townsite on the Great Eastern Highway, east of Merredin in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

History
The town was gazetted in 1891. It takes its name from Burracoppin Rock, a nearby granite rock, the name of which was first recorded in 1864 as Burancooping Rock. It was also shown as Lansdowne Hill in 1836. It is an Aboriginal name said to mean "near a big hill".

It is situated on the Eastern Railway and is a stop on the Prospector rural railway service.

It is the setting for the novel Mr Jelly's Business by Arthur W. Upfield, one in the series of Napoleon Bonaparte whodunits.

Burracoppin is also the site where the first Rabbit Proof Fence (No. 1) was started in 1901, with construction heading south to Esperance and north towards Port Hedland. Burracoppin was the main depot for the Rabbit Proof Fence. All gates through the fence and wells for the fence runners (those who look after the fence) were numbered from this town. Parts of the original fence are still viewable in Burracoppin along with some of the original gates.

In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding. The first was installed the following year and was able to handle 1,800 bags of wheat per day.

The main industry in town is wheat farming with the town being a Cooperative Bulk Handling receival site.

Rail services
The Prospector service, which runs each way between East Perth and Kalgoorlie once or twice each day, stops at Burracoppin.

"Theory" Control
I took the liberty of removing the BS "theory" that was posted here earlier today with some concrete fact about the FOXDIE virus taken directly from the Shadow Moses novel in MGS2. I want to editorialize a bit. For those who feel that Wikipedia is a forum to post your theory and whatnot about a fictional work, it ' s not. Does anyone think that an author ' s gonna follow these fan-theories seriously or what? It ' s freaking ridiculous. Please try to remain objective most of the time. Jonny2x4 06:02, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

snake and his past MGS2 foxdie possible experience
in MGS1, just before Liquid died, you will hear an audible "blood surging" sound that FOXDIE has taken place. The very same thing happened during Snake's (Plisken's) encounter with Vamp. The same blood surging sound came about, in which Raiden asked if he was okay

he'd just lost a lot of blood to vamp so was feeling a bit woozy i think Jackacon 13:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

List of Netherlands ODI cricketers

Since the Netherlands' first One Day International (ODI) in 1996, 86 players have represented the team. A One Day International (ODI) is an international cricket match between two representative teams, each having ODI status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). An ODI differs from Test matches in that the number of overs per team is limited, and that each team has only one innings. The list is arranged in the order in which each player won his first ODI cap. Where more than one player won their first ODI cap in the same match, their names are listed alphabetically by surname.

Players

 * Statistics are correct as of 25 February 2024.

Silanion

Silanion (Σιλανίων, gen. Σιλανίωνος) was the best-known of the Greek portrait-sculptors working during the fourth century BC. Pliny gives his floruit as the 113th Olympiad, that is, around 328–325 BCE (Natural History, 34.51), and records he had no famous teacher. His idealized portrait head of Plato was commissioned by Mithridates of Persia for the Academy of Athens, c. 370 BC. Later copies of it and of an idealized portrait head of Sappho survive. Both are of simple ideal type, the Sappho not strictly a portrait, since Sappho (sixth century BC) lived before the age of portraiture. The best copy of the Plato is in the Glyptothek of Munich (illustration).

Silanion also produced a "portrait" of the poet Corinna. Other "portrait" heads by Silanion evoked mythic and legendary heroes. An Achilles mentioned by Pliny was later adapted to represent Ares, and an equally idealized Theseus is mentioned by Plutarch.

Silanion wrote a treatise on proportions that is mentioned by Vitruvius (vii, introduction), but has otherwise been lost to the ages.

EMD GP40X

An EMD GP40X is a 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between December 1977 and June 1978. Power for this unit was provided by a turbocharged 16-cylinder 16-645F3B engine which could produce 3,500 hp. 23 examples of this locomotive were built for North American railroads. This unit was a pre-production version meant to test technologies later incorporated into EMD's 50-series locomotives GP50 and SD50.

Design
Ten GP40X were delivered with an experimental HT-B truck design that became an option (but never used) on the production GP50, including 6 for Union Pacific and 4 for Southern Pacific. These trucks were meant to improve locomotive adhesion. The remainder rode on Blomberg-M trucks.

SP's units included several experimental modifications, including L-shaped windshields and coverings over the radiator sections, nicknamed "elephant ears."

1965 experimental locomotive
The designation GP40X was also given to an experimental locomotive built on an EMD GP35 frame in May 1965. Only one example of this locomotive was ever produced, the EMD 433A, a 3,000 hp test prototype that was the first 4-axle locomotive to be powered by the new 645-series prime mover. The 433A served as the precursor to the EMD GP40. The 433A was purchased by the Illinois Central Railroad, and became the IC 3075. The 1965 EMD 433A has very little in common with the 1977 GP40X other than flared radiators and a 645-series prime mover.

Babamin sitesini yeniden hayata gecirdiginiz icin cok tesekkur ederim.
Guney azerbayjanli olmaktan her zaman gurur duymusumdur. Lachin Hatemi (in regards to recent modifications to Haydar Hatemi article)

It is kind of you if you are teasing me
My discussion with GM was a discussion just to find actual accuracy, not a debate to prove my idea. If it is a Turkic word, I do not hesitate to accept it, but I need to study more about this subject, I do not want to talk without any references. Now, I am trying to track this word in Indo-European languages. If this word exists in old Indo-European languages, it supports that it has a Indo-European origin. If not it is a Altaic word. By the way, at the moment I found a word in Sanskrit(old Indian) that seems to be related to word ordu, but I want to make sure about it. But you know that the oldest mention of this word was in Iranian books and I could not find any older reference for his word in Turkic texts. --Behmod 13:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Behmod, I was just amused that how dishonest your so called scholarly discussion is going. I am Iranian too and know Farsi, so seeing the Turk and Turks all over those lines of that peom and seeing how you managed to translate Turk to the beautiful made me smile and shake my head. Please don't tell me the Turk in Farsi vocabulary means beautiful. If you have seen it in any Persian dictionary please let me know.

I am an Azeri and while ago one of Persian users here im Wikipedia asked me how come with a name such as "Mehrdad" I am  taking anti Iranian stance. I explained that i am not anti Iranian, in fact I have both Persian and Turkish background, as it goes for ancestry, but the truth is when i see how group of my own country men, trying to cover the truths and conspire to spread mis information I can't help but to be outraged. I find my Turkish friends are much more brave with Truth and I am only taking the side of the truth. As for the word Ordu, looking at my very average Readers Digest dictionary, under the word horde, it says: 1. A multitude, pack, or swarm, as of people, animals, insects, etc. 2. A tribe or clan of nomadic Mongols. 3. Any nomadic tribe or group. -v.i horded, hording To gather or live in a a horde. [<F<G<Polish horda < Turkish ordu campAkin to Urdu.

The name Urdu as the language in Pakistan is also derived from the same word (Ordu), since this language has been created in the course Turku Mongol rule of Moguls in Indian sub continent. It has Hindustani, Persian, Arabic, and to a lesser extent Turkish influences.

Hope it helps. Mehrdad 15:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Dear Friend, Please be a patient researcher not an aggressive man. I hope you did not intend to have a sarcastic language.

 * 1- It seems that you have forgotten a basic rule about Persian literature and Sufis language. Look at poems of Hafez and Khajavi Kermani to understand my translation is correct. You may know that in Persian poetry and Sufis language words Wine, Turk, Drunk, Drunken...have special meanings. If you are still insist that my translation is wrong, I can bring some more examples.

حافظ چو ترک غمزه ي ترکان نمي کني

صائب تبريزی: اگر آن ترک شيرازی به دست آرد دل ما را به خال هندويش بخشم سر و دست و تن و پا را

هر آن‌کس چيزی می‌بخشد ز مال خويش می‌بخشد نه چون حافظ که می‌بخشد سمرقند و بخارا را

 * 2- Yes, you are right, many linguists believe that "Horde" has Altaic origin, but it is interesting that they believe "Herd" (and also Herde-Heorde-Kheordu) has has Indo-European origin. But it is very confusing for me because they are very similar and I am trying to hunt the reality. It is my hypothesis that "Herd" or "Horde" have the same origins. But at this moment I can NOT say for sure that I am right and I need more research. See that did not try again to change the name Ordubad.
 * 3- You talked about the Turki Mongols in India sub continent. But remember that their official language were Persian not Turkish.

Good luck, --Behmod 17:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)--Behmod 17:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I send you a link to complete version of Khajoo's poem. Hope you enjoy it. Do not say that in "دو تا پيوسته چون ابروي ترکان" or in  "نظر کن در خم گيسوي  ترکان" "ترکان" do not mean beauty or as you said means warriors ;)--Behmod 18:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Behmod, thanks for the link. You are quite write, in this poem we are dealing with a name Tarkan (تَرکان،also طرخان ). It is a female name and in poems it is used symbolically meaning girls, women. My apologies for getting this wrong and accusing you of being unfair in translation. As you know Tarkan and Torkan when written without the diacritical marks can cause this problem. So تُرکان as the plural for Turk, can be mistaken by the name تَرکان which means beautiful girl or women in this case.

Rumi has used both words in the same line of his poem in Mathnavi, as: کار هر نازک دلی نبود قِتال -- که گریزد از خیالی چون خیال کارِ تُرکانست نه  تَرکان، برو -- جایِ تَرکان هست خانه، خانه شو

Which roughly translate to: The war is not for the faint hearted, and day dreamer, This is for Turks (worriers) and not beautiful women, place of the women is in house.

This name, Tarkan تَرکان is not the plural for “Tark” تَرک as it is an individual name. Interestingly a popular Turkish male singer has adopted this name as his stage name.

Thanks again for your patience with me. Mehrdad 15:44, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem Mehrdad, This discussion was also useful for me. I also learnt new things.--Behmod 16:22, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Azeri wikiproject
Hello. How can I participate in Azeri wikiproject?--Dr.Hamed 01:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dr.Hamed, My Apologies for delayed response. You can find the goals and introductions to Azeri project at WikiProject_Azeri. The participation in the project can be through the involvements in discussions and improvements of the Azerbaijan related articles. Actually looking at the page, I see you have listed yourself as the participants, and that is a very good start. Thanks for showing interest. Sağolun .Mehrdad 13:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

WTF are you doing?
Tlak: Tajik and Mehrdadd

What is your game? What are you doing? You cannot put statements like 1/3 of the population of Tehran are Azeri without providing proof! Why 1/3 of Tehran is Azeri? Tehran like all other metropolitan cities is a mix of all walk of life in Iran and must be a rational representation of all the population! And that cannot be 1/3!

By the way what does [citation needed] mean? If something is not supported with proof must be deleted till proof is provided! Will it be accepted if I said half the population of Iran is Kurd? Wouldn’t people laugh at us?

Didcuss NOW! Kiumars 15:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Mehrdadd, I already presented my data and the proof that the numbers do not add up!I also have it in spreadsheet format that can send if need be. Ethnologue figures are wrong and they have admitted to it as demonstrated (in the emails) and they are going to change it! They have totally fucked up and nobody (even the fucking academics!) has even checked their figures last 8 years!

You said “relaiable studies by academic and other sources”, you have used two figures one from CIA that says 24% (roughly 16 million) and the other one from Ethnologue that says 24 million and I have proved above that Ethnologue is wrong! So what figures have the Academics provided and where are the figures and reference to them? Just saying roughly one third of Iran is Azeri is not acceptable no matter whom that statement comes from be it Academics or illiterates! We need figures and proofs.

Mehhrdadd as you know this is a very sensitive issue and that is why as you said many people want to have a finger in it but on the wiki we must only follow facts a and figures not guess and rumours.

If people read the page without NPOV and Factual dispute they may think there is no dispute on it and take it for fact! We must keep the signs to let people know that there are disputes on the article!

Regarding the Turkic Theory
Why is no one wanting to discuss that? if no one wants to discuss it, i will eventually take it out, because like i said, its wrong information. i dont know what your personal opinions are, but i would appreciate it if you (and hopefully you can get others) to come and discuss that issue. thanks in advance. like you said in your last edit on the page, lets talk about issue before we take action, that is what i prefer, but if no one talks to me, i have no choice.Iranian Patriot 02:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

When are we going to sort out this mess? What is the next step?
Re: Azerbaijani People (Please discuss before editing) Mehrdadd you keep removing the Factual dispute sign, as you can see from the discussions Ali and me dispute the accuracy of the Ethnologue figures on Iranian Azaris and have provided proofs and analysis on the discussion page. So, what is the next step? When are we going to put the sign up? Meanwhile everyday hundreds if not thousands of people read the article and are made to believe that what they read is fact. Only those who contribute to Wiki know how articles are managed and compiled, majority of the readers believe what is on the page is the final product and a fact. We (well at this stage you actually) are misleading people by not warning them about the fact that there are disputes on the article. Misleading and misrepresentation is a crime in any civil society. When are we going to put the sign up? When are we going to sort out this mess? What is the next step? What is your authority on this article? Kiumars 09:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

"Siberian" Wikipedia
Hello! Recently, you cast a vote against closure of the "Siberian" Wikipedia, basing it on the supposed existence of the "Siberian language" with millions of speakers. Perhaps the issue was misunderstood. There is no Siberian language or Siberian nation, apart from the native Turkic and other peoples who lived there long before Russian colonists arrived in the 16th century. The matter in question is an artificial "language" created based on several archaic Russian dialects in 2005 by a Mr. Zolotarev and a few of his friends, inclusion of which fairly blatantly violates the No Original Research policy of Wikipedia. Siberian Slavs speak Russian and list themselves on censuses as Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusans - this you can verify for yourself. I invite you to return to participate in the discussion and reconsider your vote, and appreciate constructive debate on the topic. Cossack 00:01, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Cemal Kafadar
A tag has been placed on Cemal Kafadar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Your changes in Takam, Takam-Chi and Saya
Dear Mehrdad, just wish to let you know that I reverted your changes to the above-mentioned three entries. I do believe that we should try to be constructive and let our provincial preferences aside: you will serve Azarbaijan better by writing some original Wikipedia articles about Azarbaijan and the culture of Azarbaijan than by changing Persian into Azarbaijani. You cannot accuse me of bias, as in the past I have contributed to more Azarbaijani subjects on Wikipedia than most of the people I know of — for instance, the above-mentioned three entries were initiated by me. Moreover, I am not saying, either explicitly or implicitly, that Azari is Farsi. I am against domination of one group in any setting, whether in a workplace or in a country, as I deeply believe in the value of the local languages and traditions of people. My point is that all the languages spoken in Iran are by definition Persian or Iranian. To say otherwise, that Azari were not Persian, is simply discriminatory against people of Azarbaijan. Aside from these generalities and despite the fact that Azari has been influenced by Turkic languages, as Ahmad Kasravi has unequivocally shown (in Azari Yā Zabān-e Bāstān-e Azarbāijān — which you can download from here: (item 33)), Azari as we know it has its roots in the prevalent language of the ancient Iran. Kasravi gives for instance some rules of thumb by which some Azari words can be transformed into Old Persian words and vice versa; he gives many examples about the ways in which pronunciations of Iranian words changed as one went from North to South and from East to West. The word Āzar is already an Old Persian word! Please note that in my texts I already had explicitly mentioned that the words under discussion are Azari words. With kind regards, --BF 20:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC).

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:42, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Charity (Christian virtue)

Virtue?
I am against the propagandistic title of this article. Instead of the title 'Charity (virtue)', i would prefer 'Charity (practise)'.--Daanschr 11:08, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the article is about what was defined by Christianity to be one of the virtues. In that context it seems correct, but I think "virtue" should be technically defined earlier. It is about the religious context, not the more general modern Charitable organization, nor giving to them, except in context. Notinasnaid 11:32, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

The seven virtues doesn't seem to include charity. Charity could be in the place of liberality (as opposed to Greed), but liberality refers to the article liberalism and not to this article. For me this is highly controversial, since liberalism is a specific political ideology, i don't belong to.--Daanschr 12:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I see that kindness (as opposed to envy) includes charity. I would propose that this article will change its contents to make it fit into the Roman Catholic Seven Virtues as part of the virtue of kindness. Strange is that liberality doesn't refer to 'Liberalism (virtue)' but to 'liberalism'.--Daanschr 12:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

 * And then what? Eliminate everything from the virtue category on the grounds that it's propaganda to call anything a virtue?
 * Yes, charity is one of the seven Christian virtues, the theological virtues to be precise, and listed as such in the article you link. It is certainly not classified as part of kindness.
 * As for "liberalism (virtue)" -- this once was "Charity" and someone decided to move it. Talk to that Wikipedian if you want them to be parallel. Goldfritha 00:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If charity is one of the seven Christian virtues, and kindness isn't, then seven virtues needs some attention. Notinasnaid 08:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe so, but that is hardly relevant to this discussion128.36.86.191 15:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

It appears that the seven virtues were not always the same. Charity is mentioned as opposed to greed (in the archives of december 2005) and opposed to envy (according to Dante, see article). It would be good to mention the history of charity as a virtue in this article.--Daanschr 13:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I think we have to make a decision about the fundamental nature of this article. If it is to refer to the Christian virtue of charity then a generic charity page ought to be created. May I suggest Charity (practice)? There will also be the issue of overlap with Caritas (one of the three theological virtues). If this page is not to be focused solely on the Christian conception of Charity, as I recommend, then we will need to modify it to include other points of view. For example in Islam charity is a personal religious obligation, not a mark of virtue. There are, of course, totally secular points to be made as well.Stephen Kenny 15:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Done. Caritas turned into a redirect to this page. Jheald 09:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Charity is a virtue and a virtue, for a Christian, is an obligation. Who comes up with the the Seven Virtues interpreted as "contrary virtues to the deadly sins" I don't know. I can't remember to have seem them in any Catechism at all (for example the CCC-Compendium), nor apparently St. Thomas mentions them in the Summa, etc. etc., to be silent about Holy Writ. There are quite many enumerations in Catholicism, including an enumeration of seven virtues but that's faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance, and I'm sure if you ask a Catholic about the Seven Virtues that's what you'll get (if he knows any). There are Seven Gifts and Twelve Fruits but the idea of listing the contraries to the deadly sins, though respectable, is far from that importance apparently given in the Wikipedia. Also, in this list, to my unimportant ears liberality would sound better that charity, being the more directly opposition of greed, and a virtue indeed; but maybe it was wished that the Christian virtue should appear herself in the list of the contrary virtues. If somebody is so absolutely neutral that he doesn't want to agree with the, thanks to God, unanimous assertion that charity is something good, and thus doesn't want to call it virtue, he would be (well, an odd fellow, and) forced to call it a habit, since a virtue is a good habit. Charity is not a practice, but a specific act of charity, the giving of alms, is a practice of charity. --84.154.106.75 (talk) 20:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * @84.154.106.75: charity is both a virtue and a practice. Therefore, the distinction of the two articles doesn't make sense. It would be better to distinguish a general article for the practice and then a set of specific articles related to the different religions pr the way which they cal charity: namely, the article for Christians is "charity (virtue)". As it was cited St Thomas Aquinas for which charity is the habit a believer (or a Medieval soldier of Christ) chooses to wear to serve Jesus Christ God, we must add it's impossible he had said charity is not a practice, given that he wrote one of the most systematic exegetic commentaries of the Pauline epistles and that St Paul wrote an hymn for the virtue we are talking about in .Philosopher81sp (talk) 14:18, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Cleanup
This article has two big problems and many smaller ones: --Smack (talk) 04:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) No definition or introductory section
 * 2) Focuses overwhelmingly on Christian ideas, without even acknowledging this bias
 * 3) Huge quote
 * 4) Unhelpful illustrations

 * Yes, but.

 * While most religions have notions about almsgiving, the use of the word "charity" in the other sense of caritas or agape, as in "faith, hope and charity", is a specifically Christian theological term. Jheald 07:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Okay, I have now split out the material on Charity (practice) into a separate article, per Stephen Kenny's suggestion above. I hope this page is now approaching something reasonable.  But the new other article now needs a lot of work. Jheald 09:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject class rating
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 03:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Images in the article ...
I would like to know the reason why the coin image is being constantly removed. I see no difference with the other images in the article. Let me clarify that I have myself a bit of doubt about the notability in the article, so I am open to suggestions. Miguel.mateo (talk) 08:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Because frankly the notability of the coin to the subject of this article is minimal. Which is the same reason that paragraphs about it have aready been removed from Charity (practice) and Christianity.

 * And if the coin isn't notable enough (it's hardly an iconic image) to deserve discussion in text, then as a non-free image, we can't have an image of it either. (And I'm not at all sure it even illustrates the subject of this article anyway).

 * But, if you think that's just my opinion, let's throw it wider and ask people at WPT:Christianity to come and give their views. Jheald (talk) 09:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Jheald, if you think notability is really low, then remove it, no big deal. I thought it was a good image for an article that it is imageless.  How about just leaving the coin and not taking anything about the technicalities?  Will do some changes, let me know. Miguel.mateo (talk) 12:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually I changed my mind, image and text is gone now. Miguel.mateo (talk) 12:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Christianity?
Should the lead-in (& therefore overall tone) of this article be centered around the "christian" virtue of charity? I found my way here through a link on the Seven virtues page under a section expanding on the Psychomachia... For obvious reasons, the page itself should attempt to take a wider perspective. Lastoobs (talk) 21:51, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

obviously
by "obvious reasons" I mean to say that the term "christian" doesn't show up until around 16c while the term "charity" enjoys usage as early as 12c & while "Christianity" hails as early as 1300, & still not forgetting that the words 'charity' & 'christ' are linguistically linked together, the fact of the matter is that the idea of "christ" is actually a parallel to the idea of the Hebrew "mashiah" which dates 200BC and beyond... so, maybe the 'virtue' itself shouldn't be blatantly labeled as 'christian' when 'christian' is itself a translation. Lastoobs (talk) 22:06, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Christ, written with the capital letter as for a proper name and for it is the name of the Son of God, is the Greek translation of the Jewish word Mashiah. It is used in and, just to say the ancient origin of this ethical value. The Book of Proverbs is effectively dated to the Solomon's era. But as Christian shall believe its origin is much more older. Otherwise, St Paul couldn't have dedicated an entire hymn to the charity without saying the world had been destroyed for a second time after the universal deluge.Philosopher81sp (talk) 14:09, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

lead in... wtf?
it's almost like the lead in is trying to make charity seem like more than it really is, as a virtue & a concept. Charity is "benevolence for the poor," I think what the lead in is missing is the idea that this concept is literally "the friendship of man for God", that sharing does actually "unites us to God"...  as it stands, I'm rather demotivated to improve upon the lead in, but still. What about loving kindness & generosity is so hard to equate to virtue status without going all religOmatic on us. Have we forgotten what virtues even are? virtue (n.) early 13c., "moral life and conduct, moral excellence," vertu, from Anglo-French and Old French vertu, from Latin virtutem (nominative virtus) "moral strength, manliness, valor, excellence, worth," from vir "man" (see virile). For my part I honour with the name of virtue the habit of acting in a way troublesome to oneself and useful to others. [Stendhal "de l'Amour," 1822] Phrase by virtue of (early 13c.) preserves alternative Middle English sense of "efficacy." Wyclif Bible has virtue where KJV uses power. The seven cardinal virtues (early 14c.) were divided into the natural (justice, prudence, temperance, fortitude) and the theological (hope, faith, charity). To make a virtue of a necessity (late 14c.) translates Latin facere de necessitate virtutem [Jerome]. (from etymonline dot com) Lastoobs (talk) 22:15, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Removing the advanced and rarely used logical symbols section
Philosophy.dude | back in 2009 added a number of what are supposedly rarely used logical symbols, but I can't seem to find any support for many of them actually being used in the way he described them at all. I propose removing the entire section unless he or someone else can find some sources for them. AlphabeticThing9 AlphabeticThing9 (talk) 03:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

I think we should remove some symbols
They are:

∁, because it's set theory and not used in logic well-formed formulae or metalogic (eg. ⊢).

⊙, we should either merge this with "material equivalence" or remove it.

The ⊥ ↓ entry in the "advanced and rarely used symbols". I have never seen ⊥ used that way. In every textbook I have seen, ⊥ means "false".

Republican Left of the Valencian Country

Republican Left of the Valencian Country (Esquerra Republicana del País Valencià, ERPV) is a Valencian left nationalist and republican party.

The original ERPV was founded in 1933, then disbanded in 1935. In 2000 the vacant ERPV name was taken by the party resulting from the merge of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya's (ERC) Valencian section and the Front pel País Valencià (Front for the Valencian Country).

ERPV is currently the main explicit sponsor of the Catalan Countries independence in the Valencian Country, where poor electoral results so far limit its participation to a marginal role.

Foundation and disbandment
The party was founded during the Spanish Second Republic and became established under the leadership of Gaietà Huguet, in Castellón. In 1935, he impelled a merging with the party Esquerra Valenciana (Valencian Left, EV), founded in 1934 and led by Vicent Marco Miranda (ex-Mayor of Valencia), Josep Benedito, Miquel Duran de València and Manuel Sanchís-Guarner. After Vicent Marco obtained in 1936 the act of deputy in Valencia within the candidatures of the Popular Front both parties joint in a common parliamentary group in the Spanish Congress with the name of Catalan Left.

In 1935, ERPV disbanded and merged as a fraction in EV. The Spanish Civil War truncated many political projects in which Esquerra Valenciana participated, the most important of which was a project of a Valencian statute of autonomy with the official name of País Valencià (rendered in English by some as "Valencian Country", see names of the Valencian Community), which would have granted similar autonomous powers as with the other so-called historical nationalities in Spain (namely, Andalusia, Basque country, Catalonia and Galicia). In spite of it, Esquerra Valenciana, the main party in which ERPV had diluted, reached their maximum growth in that period, arriving to exceed 10,000 affiliated.

Under the regime of Francisco Franco, Esquerra Valenciana (the party which ERPV had merged with in 1935) was suppressed. Then, after Franco's death, the Spanish Transition and the advent of democracy in Spain, ERPV was not revived.

Refoundation
In 2000, a group of members of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) in Valencia, decided to revive the ERPV vacant acronym and, led by Agustí Cerdà, claimed to have refounded the party as the Valencian branch of ERC.

Electoral results
Then, 2003 saw ERPV's comeback to democratic elections in the Valencian Community, after more than 60 years of its last electoral contest. The party participated in elections to a number of Valencian city councils. It did not achieve representation elsewhere other than in Sueca.

ERPV ran in the 2007 election to the Corts Valencianes under the "Esquerra" name, achieving 0.49% of the total votes which was far from the 5% threshold needed to achieve representation. Out of a total of 5,622 local councilors elected in the 542 Valencian municipalities, ERPV is currently represented by four local councilors in three municipalities, which limits its participation in Valencian politics to a marginal role.

Despite its status in Valencia, at the 2004 Spanish general election ERPV's leader Agustí Cerdà was elected as an MP himself at the Spanish Parliament. This was made possible by including him in the ERC electoral ticket in Catalonia instead of running for any given Valencian electoral constituency, where ERPV does not achieve any representation other than the few councilors aforementioned.

Then, at the following 2008 Spanish general election, which saw ERC's results halved in Catalonia, Agustí Cerdà was one of the incumbents who lost his seat.

Moorine Rock, Western Australia

Moorine Rock is located in the eastern agricultural region of Western Australia, 347 km east of Perth and 22 km west south west of Southern Cross.

Location
It is located on the Great Eastern Highway and the railway line from Northam to Southern Cross. When the line was opened in 1895 a railway station was established here and named Parkers Road after a nearby road. The road led to Parker Range, an area where Mr W M Parker made a gold find in 1888. In 1923 the district surveyor for the area reported there was a need to survey some lots at Parkers Road station. The survey was carried out the following year, and in 1925 the area was gazetted as the townsite of Parker Road.

Name
In 1926 the local member of Parliament advised the name of the townsite was causing confusion because it was too similar to Parker Range, a nearby goldmining area, and was also the name of a road in Southern Cross. He suggested the alternative name of Moorine, after Moorine Rock. This name was too similar to Moora, but was accepted with the full name Moorine Rock. The change of name of the townsite was gazetted in 1926. Moorine Rock is the Aboriginal name of some rocks near the townsite, first recorded by an explorer in 1865. The meaning of the name is not known.

Services
In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.

The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.

Rail
The Prospector service, which runs each way between East Perth and Kalgoorlie once or twice each day, stops at Moorine Rock.

Thank you for your link to the French Wikipedia Haley page. It's a shame I don't read much French but I will be happy to contribute any corrections and information.

About French
You might have to learn our language :-). By now, when it is possible to you, you can take all the info you want to add them in the English pages: I think there's no problem for the almost complete discography seeing it is written in English too. Best, Stephan (unlogged :-)

Hello again and thanks to all of you
So, I have a lot of troubles with the copyrights in France and many of my contributions were reverted upside down by an admin whose nickname is Darkonero: worther than Darth Vader himself! I told Cerkil (admin too) for that problem but for him "silence is golden". I don't know what to do. I think I'll go from France away to come by yours :-).

Stephan Eicher

Stephan Eicher (born 17 August 1960) is a Swiss singer. He sings in a variety of languages, including French, German, English, Italian, Swiss German and Romansh, sometimes using different languages in the same song.

Eicher's success started in German-speaking countries in the 1980s when, as part of the band Grauzone, he had a hit single, Eisbär. With hit songs such as Combien de Temps and Oh Ironie, his popularity spread across Europe with albums, tours and chart success in France and Switzerland.

Life
Stephan Eicher was born in the rural municipality of Münchenbuchsee not far from Bern.

Eicher was educated at the Ecole d'Humanité, an international boarding school in Switzerland, and musically trained at the academy of art in Zürich, where he learned how to use the computer for composing music.

He released his first single Eisbär, together with his brother Martin, on the album Grauzone in 1980. He became interested in French songs by Jacques Dutronc, Georges Brassens and Serge Gainsbourg, and these influences led to the album Les Chansons bleues. This album is also inspired by the American singers he listened to during his youth, such as Patti Smith, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan.

His two subsequent albums began to establish his reputation. The album, I Tell This Night, and the single Two People in a Room were released in 1985. It peaked on the Swiss charts at number ten and stayed twelve weeks. Two years later, the album Silence reached number three and was in the Swiss Top 10 for fourteen weeks. Both albums were created by Stephan Eicher almost single-handedly.

1989's My Place went in a different direction. The French lyrics were written by his friend, author Philippe Djian. His largest commercial success came in 1991 with the album Engelberg, which spent five weeks at number one in Switzerland and 46 weeks on the charts in total. The song Déjeuner en paix was also number two in France. It is the beginning of a collaboration with Manu Katché and Pino Palladino which lasted until the release of 1000 vies in 1996. His subsequent albums regularly reached the top five on the Swiss album charts.

Following a world tour, which included concerts in Africa, he produced his first live album in 1994 (Non ci badar, guarda e passa).

Since 1989, his song lyrics have been written by Djian.

In 2001, Eicher released his first greatest hits compilation album entitled Hotel*s. For many years, the hotel Hess on the Swiss Engelberg was his second home. Martin Hess, the hotelier couple's son, became his close friend and producer. At the hotel, the albums Engelberg and Louanges developed. Eicher selected the title Hotel*s as homage to this grand hotel, which was torn down in the same year. For the title selection for the album, he let the fans co-ordinate with the official homepage.

Cover versions of his songs

 * Singer Sian Charia recorded a cover version of Eicher's Pas d'ami (translated into Khmer) in Phnom Penh in 1995.

 * German metal band Vanden Plas covered Des Hauts, des Bas on their AcCult EP in 1996.

 * His song Combien de Temps has been remixed by Flood.

 * Experimental electronic music group Cabaret Voltaire recorded a cover version of Eicher's No Escape. Originally written by The Seeds

 * Metal band Stahlhammer released a cover version of Eisbär on their album Eisenherz.

 * On the newer edition of the album Wahrheit oder Pflicht by Oomph! a cover version of Eisbär is included as a bonus track.

 * German rock band Eisbrecher included a cover version of Eisbär in their 2017 album Sturmfahrt.

 * Australian Brigitte Handley & The Dark Shadows recorded Eisbär for their 2014 album Autumn Still.

Other participations

 * Eicher has recorded a cover version of the jazz standard My Funny Valentine.
 * In the past 25 years, Stephan Eicher has collaborated with numerous musicians. He also participates in many large European Festivals. I Muvrini (Corsica), Ismael Lo (Senegal), Axelle Red (Belgium), and Texas (UK) have all been guests on his tours.
 * Eicher also produces Swiss musician Tinu Heiniger.

Bonnie Vale, Western Australia

Bonnie Vale is an abandoned goldfields townsite 14 km north of Coolgardie in the Shire of Coolgardie in Western Australia.

History
The town was gazetted in 1897. It was apparently named after Bonnie, a prospector who picked up a 7 ozt nugget here in May/June 1894.

It is famous as the site of the Varischetti mine rescue of 1907, when Italian gold miner Modesto Varischetti was trapped for nine days in a mine when it was flooded after a thunderstorm. Varischetti survived in an air pocket until rescued. A diver using deep-sea diving equipment located Varischetti five days after the mine was flooded, and provided him with food, candles and letters of encouragement.

Rail services
The Prospector service, which runs each way between East Perth and Kalgoorlie once or twice each day, stops at Bonnie Vale.

North Flinty Knoll

 * This VfD also applies to Double, North Carolina, as per Zoe. -- Curps 00:42, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Zero Google hits. Also, there doesn't seem to be a "Reynolds, North Carolina" or "Reynolds County, North Carolina". Also, this user (who uses an anonymous IP range) is a very persistent vandal: lots of childish vandalism (see recent history of Luxembourg and Mississippi and Stokes County, North Carolina and per capita income and many, many other pages). All of his contributions before and after creating this article were vandalism. In addition to childish vandalism, he creates transparently preposterous hoax articles (see Votes for deletion/The Carlow Crab). Based on his track record and lack of Google hits or verifiability, this article too is very likely false, and in any case is not notable. -- Curps 15:54, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, as "Flinty Knoll" has already been CSD'd as patent nonsense (claims to statehood, etc) — Lomn | Talk 16:20:41, 2005-08-20 (UTC)
 * Delete. Based on a Google search, there is a Flinty Knoll precinct in Stokes County, NC  (apparently in Quaker Gap township) and a Flinty Knoll Road in Pinnacle, North Carolina in Stokes County, so there is probably some validity to the name "Flinty Knoll".  However the Geographic Names Information System of the U.S. Geological Survey gives no place names in North Carolina with that name except a "Flinty Knoll Church" in Richmond County, NC. I could find no references to North Flinty Knoll and I could not find enough information to even expand this into a real stub on Flinty Knoll. -- DS1953 19:18, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

I have added Double, North Carolina to this Vfd. Delete both. Zoe 22:44, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * Note that there is an entire Category:Stokes County, North Carolina with a few dozen entries, fairly remarkable for a county with only 45,000 people. Most of these place names do seem to be real though very obscure, although "Double" and "Gap" don't appear there. -- Curps 00:42, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * That entire county needs looking at. The original Rambot additions only added two towns in the county, and a repeatedly-reverted vandal added all the reest.  We need to figure out how many are real.  Zoe 04:26, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * If we believe placenames.com, nearly all of them are real. "Gap" and "Double" aren't listed, so I added them to this VfD (Gap now removed again), but the rest should go into a separate VfD if at all (perhaps on grounds of non-notability). Note this map only shows Danbury, King, Germanton, Walnut Cove as population centers, so non-notability could certainly be argued for the rest. Hanging Rock State Park is also in Stokes County and is notable. -- Curps 14:05, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * "Gap" appears in the GNIS (but as a "locale" rather than a "populated place"). Regardless, I've removed it from this VfD... it can go into any planned Stokes County VfD with the others (but again I would exclude Danbury, King, Germanton, Walnut Cove). -- Curps 14:25, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. per above. Dottore So 05:39, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment, though I am perfectly happy to have my delete vote also apply to Double, North Carolina, I think it is very poor practice to add and delete new pages to a VfD vote after several editors have already voted. -- DS1953 17:02, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a very valid point, we need to avoid that in the future. The admin who closes this VfD can make the call as to whether to include it. -- Curps 01:03, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this and also Double, North Carolina. I checked a couple of the others and they verify as Curps said; Topozone is another good place to look (e.g. here  for Dalton).  Anything added by a 63.19.*.* IP is suspicious.  Antandrus  (talk) 03:07, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

The Kona coffee culture has long been characterized by a strong work ethic, independence, self-sufficiency, family unity, and cooperation—among family members, households and the community. In 1813, Don Francisco de Paula Y Marin, a Spaniard and Kamehameha's "right hand man" planted coffee on the island of Oahu. In 1825, John Wilkinson, an English agriculturist, acquires coffee plants in Brazil. These plants are brought to Oahu and planted in Manoa Valley at the estate of Chief Boki, the island's governor.* Source: Kona coffee history —Preceding unsigned comment added by RJBurkhart (talk • contribs) 04:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Moora, Western Australia

Moora is a townsite located 177 km north of Perth in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. At the, Moora had a population of 1,755.

History
Moora was one of the original stations on the Midland railway line to Walkaway, and the townsite was gazetted in 1895.

Natural disasters
The town was left underwater in 1932 when heavy rainfall inundated the town, causing severe flooding. The town was left isolated as both rail lines and roads had portions washed away. Over half the town was submerged to a depth of 3 ft, and once the waters receded, was left under a thick coating of mud. Crops and stock in the surrounding area were also lost.

In March 1999, the town suffered a major flood when ex-Tropical Cyclone Elaine caused the Moore River to break its banks, with 1000 people evacuated. Just as the community was recovering, another major rainfall event on the already saturated land in May of the same year caused yet another flood in the town.

Economy
The town is the largest wheat belt town between Geraldton and Perth, and the third largest overall after the coastal settlements of Dongara and Jurien Bay. The town provides facilities and services such as commercial banks, schools, commerce and retail sectors, community recreational facilities; plus a pharmacy, dentist, doctors and district hospital.

Surrounding the town are several rural activities such as the growing of wheat, barley, canola, oaten hay and lupins, as well as the raising of sheep, cattle and pigs. A silica mine is located 15 km north of the townsite. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.

Education
Moora is home to the Central Midlands Senior High School, Moora Primary School and St Joseph's School (SJSM)—a Catholic private co-educational primary school.

Recreation
The Moora Agricultural Show is held every year in September, and includes a full equestrian program, fireworks, fashion parade, entertainment and exhibits. The Moora Cup Race Day is one of the biggest events on Moora's social calendar and is held every year in October.

Many tourist attractions can be found around the Moora District, ranging from the Western Wildflower Farm to the abundance of hand-painted murals and the Moora Town Clock. As such, Moora is often a popular stopover for tourists en-route to holiday destinations and those following the wildflower trail.

Environment

Gothelo I, Duke of Lorraine

Gothelo (or Gozelo) (c. 967 – 19 April 1044), called the Great, was the duke of Lower Lorraine from 1023 and of Upper Lorraine from 1033. He was also the margrave of Antwerp from 1005 (or 1008) and count of Verdun. Gothelo was the youngest son of Godfrey I, Count of Verdun, and Matilda, daughter of Herman, Duke of Saxony. On his father's death, he received the march of Antwerp and became a vassal of his brother, Godfrey II, who became duke of Lower Lorraine in 1012. Gothelo succeeded his brother in 1023 with the support of the Emperor Henry II, but was opposed until Conrad II forced the rebels to submit in 1025. When the House of Bar, which ruled in Upper Lorraine, became extinct in 1033, with the death of his cousin Frederick II, Conrad made Gothelo duke of both duchies, so that he could assist in the defence of the territory against Odo II, count of Blois, Meaux, Chartres and Troyes (the later Champagne). It was during this time 1033-1034, that Gothelo clashed with Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders, concerning the march of Ename.

In the Battle of Bar on 15 November 1037, Gothelo dealt a decisive blow to Odo, who was trying to create an independent state between France and Germany. Odo died in the battle.

Gothelo died on 19 April 1044 and was buried in the Abbey Church of Bilzen. His son Godfrey succeeded in Upper Lorraine, but the Emperor Henry III refused to give him the duchy of Lower Lorraine as well. When Godfrey showed disagreement with the imperial decision, Henry III threatened to pass the duchy to Godfrey's incompetent brother Gothelo. This caused a long rebellion in Lotharingia between the allies of Godfrey (the counts of Flanders and Leuven) and imperial forces (1044–1056).

Family
The name of Gothelo's wife is not known, the name Barbe de Lebarten (and in fact her entire ancestry), being a spurious concoction of later genealogists. He had the following children:

 * Godfrey the Bearded, duke of Lower Lorraine
 * Gothelo, duke of Lower Lorraine
 * Frederick, later Pope Stephen IX
 * Regilinda, married Albert II, Count of Namur
 * Oda, married Lambert II, Count of Leuven
 * Matilda, married Henry I, Count Palatine of Lotharingia

Arabian Knight (character)

Arabian Knight is a title used by multiple fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Publication history
Abdul Qamar first appeared in Incredible Hulk vol. 2 #257 (March 1981), and was created by Bill Mantlo (writer) and Al Milgrom (artist).

“The Arabian Knight is a new character,” said Schmidt namesake heir. “We’ve had the Arabian Knight before, but the last version of the Arabian Knight, I believe, was killed twice without explanation of how he came back between them. He was sort of an insulting stereotype.” The successor (Navid Hashim) was created by Christos Gage and Mike Perkins. According to editor Andy Schmidt, "The old one had all the stereotypical trappings—the flying carpet and whatnot. And some of that stuff is incorporated into this new one, but hopefully in a less stereotypical way and not insulting. He’s a fully fleshed out character. The other guy was just a visual stereotype with no real character behind him."

Abdul Qamar
Abdul Qamar, the first Arabian Knight, was a descendant of a legendary Muslim hero who had perished forcing the demons Gog and Magog back into their tomb. When the demons were later freed by an archeologist, Abdul found his ancestor's magical equipment inside the tomb, and became the Arabian Knight, once again sealing away the demons with help from the Hulk. He met Ghost Rider, and allied with him against the Water Wizard.

He was also one of the heroes chosen by Death to represent her in the Contest of Champions against the Grandmaster, his teammates being Iron Man and Sabra. He overcame his dislike of the Israeli heroine to win their battle against She-Hulk, Captain Britain and Defensor.

Abdul later battled the Demon of the Dunes for the life of his son.

The Arabian Knight was later revealed to be an agent of the clandestine international group The Pantheon. Posing as a member of the organization Desert Sword, he fought against Freedom Force. (it was originally stated that his children had been kidnapped by Desert Sword, who forced Abdul to work in their service). The Knight left the Pantheon following a disagreement with Achilles.

Abdul died when Humus Sapien, a powerful mutant whose abilities are powered by the random draining of life from a large number of people, drained him of his life force.

Navid Hashim
Navid Hashim - the next Arabian Knight - debuted in 2006's Union Jack (3rd series) #1. Unlike the first two Arabian Knights, the third dresses in contemporary military clothing and appears to have extensive combat experience.

When Red Hulk and Machine Man arrived in Sharzhad, they encounter Arabian Knight who leads them into Sharzhad and to Dagan Shah's palace. Once inside the palace, Dagan Shah sheds his disguise, reveals his true identity as the Sultan Magus, and imprisons Red Hulk and Machine Man as it is shown that the real Arabian Knight is imprisoned in a crystal. During Red Hulk and Machine Man's fight with Sultan Magus, Arabian Knight gets free and helps in the fight against Sultan Magus, when he manages to cut off Sultan Magus' arms (yet Sultan Magus managed to reattach his arms before resuming the fight).

Arabian Knight later represented the Arabian government when he attended Black Panther's meeting in the Eden Room of Avengers Mountain.

Powers and abilities
The first Arabian Knight had the normal abilities of a healthy, athletic human. He was a good hand-to-hand combatant and was an exceptional swordsman, particularly in the use of the scimitar. He possesses three magical weapons: a magic carpet, a golden scimitar emitting beams of magical force, and a mind-controlled belt/sash. Indeed, all three items respond, exclusively, to his mental commands. He discovered his weapons, which had belonged to a 13th-century ancestor, in an underground tomb in the Egyptian desert. The magic carpet and sash are formed from a material that is virtually indestructible, resisting fire, and even bullets. The carpet permitted him to travel, flying, at high speeds and altitudes, while the belt/sash magically elongates to approximately 40 ft in length (almost 10 times its typical length), and can serve as a weapon (whip), or as a climbing rope, or to capture and restrain his foes. The golden scimitar, in addition to firing destructive blasts, will "backfire" against any other person who may attempt to wield it.

The next Arabian Knight revealed that the magic carpet used by the first Arabian Knight was unraveled and made into an indestructible uniform that responds to his thoughts. He still uses the magic scimitar and wears the red magic sash around his waist. The uniform serves as body armor that protects him from harm and allows him to fly.

Reception
Comic Book Resources placed the original Arabian Knight as one of the superheroes Marvel wants you to forget.

Other characters named Arabian Knight
An unrelated character named Arabian Knight appeared in Black Panther vol. 4 #15 (June 2006). He was depicted as a Muslim warrior who won the right to use the magical scimitar, carpet, and armor due to trial by combat. This Arabian Knight showed up as a part of an international attempt to invade Wakanda, and was defeated by the Black Panther and Storm.
