Ralph Houk

Ralph George Houk (August 9, 1919 – July 21, 2010), nicknamed "the Major", was an American catcher, coach, manager, and front office executive in Major League Baseball. He is best known as the successor of Casey Stengel as manager of the New York Yankees from 1961 to 1963, when his teams won three consecutive American League pennants and the 1961 and 1962 World Series championships. In he became the second rookie manager to win 100 games in a season and third rookie manager to win a World Series. He was the first manager to win World Series titles in his first two seasons and the first manager since Hughie Jennings to win three pennants in his first three seasons.

Playing career
A native of Lawrence, Kansas (Stull Community), Houk was a catcher working his way through the Yankees' farm system when the U.S. entered World War II. He enlisted in the armed forces, serving with Company I, 89th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron (Mechanized) of the 9th Armored Division in July 1944. He rose to the rank of Major (the source of his Yankees nickname). He was a combat veteran of Bastogne and the Battle of the Bulge, and was awarded the Silver Star with an Oak Leaf Cluster, the Bronze Star with an Oak Leaf Cluster and Purple Heart.

Returning to baseball after the war, Houk eventually reached the major leagues, serving as the Yankees' second- and third-string catcher behind Yogi Berra. A right-handed hitter listed as 5 ft tall and 193 lb, Houk played in only 91 games over eight seasons (1947–1954), finishing with a batting average of .272. Although the Yankees participated in six World Series during that period, Houk had only two at bats (one in, the other in ), batting .500.

Coaching career
During his last five years as a major-league player (1950–1954), Houk played in only 31 regular-season games, made 30 total plate appearances, and caught 83 innings. By 1953 he had transitioned to becoming the Yankees' full-time bullpen coach, effectively beginning his managerial apprenticeship.

In 1955 he was named manager of the Yanks' Triple-A affiliate, the Denver Bears of the American Association. Following three highly successful seasons at Denver, culminating with the 1957 league playoff and Junior World Series championships, Houk returned to the Bronx as Stengel's first-base coach from 1958 to 1960. From late May through early June 1960, Houk served as acting manager of the Yanks for 13 games while Stengel, 70, was sidelined by illness. (The team won 7 and lost 6.) Then, after the Yanks lost the 1960 World Series to the Pittsburgh Pirates—and with Houk one of the hottest managerial candidates in baseball—the Yankees "discharged" Stengel (to use Stengel's own words) and promoted Houk.

A player's manager
Houk was known as a "player's manager"—albeit one with a quick temper. Future Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda briefly played for Houk at Denver and called Houk the best handler of men he ever played for, and modeled his managerial style on him. The Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, of which Houk is a member, describes Houk as "rough, blunt and decisive" and his tantrums in arguments with umpires earned him 45 ejections as a manager in the majors. Houk is tied with Billy Martin for fourteenth place on baseball's "most ejected" list.

The early 1960s Yankees responded to Houk's leadership; the 1961 team led by Roger Maris (61 home runs), Mickey Mantle (54 homers) and Whitey Ford (25 victories) won 109 games and beat the Cincinnati Reds in five games in the World Series. His 1962 club won 96 games, and were victorious over the San Francisco Giants in seven games in the Fall Classic. In 1963, the Yanks won 104 games and rolled to the pennant, but were swept in four games by the Dodgers in the Series.

Not all players found him to be a steller players' manager, though. He was featured a handful of times in Jim Bouton's book Ball Four, as Bouton was reminiscing about his time with the Yankees in 1969. Houk was described in one instance as "sometimes...99 percent pure bullshit."

In the Yankees front office
Houk moved into the Yankees' front office as general manager on October 23, 1963, replacing Roy Hamey, and Berra, at the end of his playing career, became the Yanks' new manager. The Yankees won the 1964 pennant under Berra after a summer-long struggle with the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox, but Houk and the Yankee ownership quickly became disenchanted with his work and in late August they made up their mind to fire him regardless of how the season turned out. After the Yankees' seven-game loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1964 World Series, Houk sacked Berra. Later, Houk said that the Yankee brain trust had concluded Berra wasn't ready to be a manager, though he didn't elaborate on the reasoning.

To succeed Berra, he then hired Johnny Keane, who had just resigned as manager of the champion Cardinals. Houk had admired Keane as a competitor in the American Association from almost a decade before and, according to author David Halberstam, the Yankees had made overtures to Keane during the 1964 regular season about becoming their manager for 1965. But the great postwar Yankee dynasty was aged and crumbling, the farm system had seriously deteriorated, and the Kansas City Athletics were no longer a reliable source for major league talent. Keane, a longtime minor league manager, was better suited by temperament for managing young players than established and aging superstars, and his hiring was a failure. The team fell to sixth in 1965—their first losing record since 1925, and only their second since 1918. When they won only four of the first 20 games of 1966, Houk fired Keane on May 7 and named himself manager, assuming that job for the second time.

Second term with Yankees
Houk (eventually succeeded as general manager by Lee MacPhail) thus began a second, and far less successful, term as Yankee manager, finishing the 1966 season. Their talent and farm system both depleted, the Yankees finished in last place for the first time since 1912. A long rebuilding process followed, including Bobby Richardson's retirement (Richardson's roommate, Tony Kubek, had retired because a bad back after the 1965 season) and the trading away of Maris, Clete Boyer and, during the 1967 season, Elston Howard. Houk continued to manage the Yankees from 1967 until 1973. His best season was 1970, when the Yanks won 93 games, but finished 15 games behind the eventual World Series champion Baltimore Orioles.

Despite two years left on a three‐year contract, Houk announced his resignation immediately after a season-ending 8–5 loss to the Detroit Tigers on September 30, 1973, in the final game at Yankee Stadium prior to its closure for a two-year renovation. While first-year team owner George Steinbrenner's commanding style has led some to think the new owner influenced Houk's departure, he told Bill Madden of the New York Daily News it was the constant booing of Yankee fans that pushed him. Houk even said that Steinbrenner insisted he'd get some new players to restore the team's greatness. "And he did, bringing in Catfish and Reggie, " Houk told Madden in Pride of October. "That'll make you good in a hurry!" Apart from a brief stint with the Tigers' Class B affiliate in Augusta, Georgia, he had spent the first 35 years of his adult life on the Yankees' payroll.

Detroit Tigers
Houk signed a three-year, $225,000 contract to join the Tigers in a similar capacity just less than two weeks later, on October 11. He succeeded former Yankees teammate Billy Martin, who had been fired on September 2 and Joe Schultz, who served in the interim for the remainder of the 1973 season.

Aware of the challenge he was going to face, he stated, "I'm more concerned with winning than rebuilding, but we have to rebuild, there's no doubt about it." A veteran team -- Detroit's 1973 roster averaged 31.8 years of age -- the Tigers were five years removed from winning the World Series and had just had won the AL East in 1972 under Martin. But the team was in need of a rebuild and began moving on from their longtime stars -- including future Hall of Famer Al Kaline, who retired after Houk's first season.

The low point came in 1975, when Houk's team lost 102 games -- at the time the second-most losses in a season in franchise history -- but the 1976 Tigers improved their record by 14 games behind the heroics of rookie pitcher Mark Fidrych, who won 19 games while becoming a national sensation. By 1978, Houk had restored Detroit to respectability and the Tigers won 86 games -- their first winning season since 1973, and the first of 10 consecutive winning seasons -- with future stars of the Sparky Anderson-led 1980s Tigers such as Lou Whitaker, Alan Trammell and Jack Morris.

After the 1978 season, with the roster's average age a youthful 26.3, Houk retired from baseball.

Boston Red Sox
Houk's name had been linked by the media with the Boston Red Sox' managerial job since his days as a Yankees' coach. After two years of retirement, in the autumn of 1980, Houk, then 61, was ready to get back into baseball. In late October, when the Red Sox called about their opening after they had fired Don Zimmer, he jumped at the chance.

Although not as daunting as his Detroit assignment, Houk faced another rebuilding job: the powerful Boston team of the 1970s was about to lose marquee players such as Carlton Fisk and Fred Lynn and needed to retool its roster. But Houk rose to the challenge, and in four seasons produced three over-.500 teams. On his watch, Boston broke in young players Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens, Bruce Hurst and Marty Barrett. When Houk retired from managing permanently in October 1984, just after his 65th birthday, he bequeathed the core of another pennant winning ballclub (in this case, the 1986 Red Sox) to his successor, John McNamara.

His final record, over 20 years with the Yankees (1961–1963, 1966–1973), Tigers (1974–1978) and Red Sox (1981–1984) was 1,619 wins and 1,531 losses (.514), plus eight wins and eight losses in the World Series. In twenty seasons as manager, he had eleven winning seasons, with six finishes of third or better and five seasons with a finish of sixth or worse. After his first three championship seasons, he never appeared in the postseason.

Late career
Houk served with the Minnesota Twins as a special assistant to general manager Andy MacPhail, Lee's son, from 1987 to 1989 before retiring from the game for good. He thus enjoyed one additional world championship season, when the Twins defeated the Cardinals in the 1987 World Series.

Colorful opinions about Houk can be found in Jim Bouton's classic 1970 memoir, Ball Four. Houk was Bouton's first big league manager and sparred with him over contracts when Houk was the Yankees' GM.

Houk was portrayed by Bruce McGill in the 2001 film 61*.

He died on July 21, 2010, in Winter Haven, Florida, just nineteen days before he would have turned 91. At age 90 he was, at the time, the oldest living manager of a World Series-winning, pennant-winning or post-season team. He was survived by a daughter, Donna; a son, Robert; four grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

On July 22, 2010, the Yankees announced players and coaches would wear a black armband in Houk's memory on the left sleeve of their home and away uniforms for the remainder of the 2010 season.

Francis Wheatley (painter)

Francis Wheatley RA (1747 – 28 June 1801) was an English portrait and landscape painter.

Life and work
Wheatley was born at Wild Court, Covent Garden, London, the son of a master tailor. He studied at William Shipley's drawing school and the Royal Academy, and won several prizes from the Society of Arts. He assisted in the decoration of Vauxhall, and aided John Hamilton Mortimer in painting a ceiling for Lord Melbourne at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire.

In his youth, he lived a dissipated life. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1778, built up a good practice and was praised by the critics. But he fell in with extravagant company and was forced to flee his creditors: so he eloped to Ireland with Elizabeth Gresse, wife of a fellow artist John Alexander Gresse (1741–1794). In the summer of 1779 he was in Dublin with Elizabeth, whom he passed off as his wife, and established himself there as a portrait-painter, executing, among other works, the best-known interior of the Irish House of Commons. He also painted the review of the Dublin regiments of the Irish Volunteers in College Green in November 1779, the basis for a best-selling print bought by numerous Irish Patriot supporters. He was careful to include the grandees of Dublin and also exotic visitors such as Princess Dashkov.

The circumstances of his private life were revealed, and he returned to London. He produced small landscapes, portraits, or street scenes, and began to work in imitation of the French painter Jean-Baptiste Greuze. His scene from the Gordon Riots of 1780 was engraved by James Heath; this was noted as one of his best, but was lost to a fire. He painted several subjects for Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery, designed illustrations to Bell's edition of the poets, and practised to some small extent as an etcher and mezzotint-engraver. It is, however, as a painter, in both oil and water-color, of landscapes and rustic subjects that Wheatley is best remembered. He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1790, and an academician in the following year.

In 1774 Francis Wheatley married Rosamond Mann at St Paul, Covent Garden, London, England and that was thought to be the first marriage of the artist.

In 1787 he married one of his most popular models, the young Clara Maria Leigh (1768–1838), who was also an artist. They had four daughters, Clara Maria (1788–1847) who married Thomas Clark Brettingham in 1814, Frances (Fanny) (1790–1848) who married Charles Middleton in 1817, Caroline Groves (1793–1879) who married James Adams in 1812 and Emma (Feb 1795–Mar 1795) and a son Francis (1791–1872) who married Martha Ewing in 1813. A contemporary biographer noted: "He died June 28th, 1801, aged fifty-four, leaving a widow and four children."

After Wheatley died, his widow married in 1807 the Irish actor Alexander Pope, and as Mrs Pope she was known as a painter of flowers and portraits.

The marriage of Caroline Groves Wheatley to James Adams at St George, Hanover Square and recorded in its register was witnessed by Clara Maria Pope, Marianne Leigh (a sister of Clara Maria Pope), Clara Maria Wheatley and Frances Wheatley.

The marriage of Clara Maria Wheatley to Thomas Clark Brettingham at St James, Piccadilly, Westminster and recorded in its register was witnessed by Clara Maria Pope and Thomas Key. Thomas Key, husband of Mary Lawe nee Barry, was a cousin-in-law of Clara Maria Pope and was the father of Thomas Hewitt Key.

Francis, the son, according to their register, was baptised at the Percy Chapel, St Pancras during 1791, the same location as his sister Frances was baptised during 1790. His marriage at St Mary-le-Bone, Middlesex was recorded in their register. Francis junior was a beneficiary along with his sisters in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury will of Marianne Leigh, an unmarried sister of his mother Clara Maria, the will being written in 1843 and proved in 1851: "I leave my three beloved nieces Clara Maria Brettingham, Fanny Middleton and Caroline Adams £10 each and Frank Wheatley £5". The England probate records indicate that at the date of Francis Wheatley, the son, death in 1872 his sister, Caroline Groves Adams wife of James Adams, was his only surviving next of kin.

Frances (Fanny) Wheatley was married in Bangalore, Madras, India and that event was reported in the 16 July 1818 edition of the Caledonian Mercury, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland thus: "At Madras, in September last, Captain Middleton, of the 22d light dragoons, to Frances Wheatly, second daughter of the late Francis Wheatley, Esq. R. A.".

The baptisms and birth dates of Clara Maria and of Caroline Groves were recorded in the parish registers of St Mary,St Marylebone Road,St Marylebone,London and of St Pancras Old Church, London respectively.

Clara Maria was first cousin once removed to Sir Charles Barry through her mother Elizabeth nee Barry.

Francis Wheatley's life and work was reviewed by Mary Webster.

Barakaldo

Barakaldo (Baracaldo; Barakaldo ) is a municipality located in the Biscay province in the Basque Country in Spain. Located on the Left Bank of the Estuary of Bilbao, the city is part of Greater Bilbao, has a population at 100,881. Barakaldo has an industrial river-port heritage and has undergone significant redevelopment with new commercial and residential areas replacing the once active industrial zones.

History

The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica original entry on the town stated: ""Pop.(1900): 15,013. Few Spanish towns have developed more rapidly than Baracaldo [sic], which nearly doubled its population between 1880 and 1900. During this period many immigrant labourers settled here; for the iron works and dynamite factory of Baracaldo prospered greatly, owing to the increased output of the Biscayan mines, the extension of railways in the neighbourhood, and the growth of shipping at Bilbao. The low flat country round Barakaldo is covered with maize, pod fruit and vines"."

Iron mining formed a large part of Barakaldo's industry, making it the endpoint of a mining railway. The steel industry, led by Altos Hornos de Vizcaya, had an important presence during the 20th century, until the industrial recession hit the region's economy in the 1980s.

In recent decades, the industrial zones surrounding Barakaldo have become less prominent, which can be owed to the shuttering of large companies such as Babcock & Wilcox. Although several factories remain, areas that were once industrial have been redeveloped into residential properties such as malls and parks. A large exhibition centre. the Bilbao Exhibition Centre has recently been built on the outskirts of the town.

Transport
Barakaldo is connected to the rest of the Greater Bilbao metropolitan area by Line 2 of the Metro Bilbao. Four stations are in the city: Gurutzeta/Cruces, Ansio, Barakaldo and Bagatza). The Cercanías Bilbao train line has two stations in Barakaldo (Lutxana and Desertu-Barakaldo). BizkaiBus company provides a bus service, with connections to the rest of Biscay.

Locally, an urban bus system named Kbus operates with two lines. A tram line has been proposed to connect local districts.

The main motorway is the A-8 motorway, which also goes between Bilbao. It serves as the main road link between Greater Bilbao and the rest of Spain.

A boat ferry service connects Barakaldo to the other side of the Estuary of Bilbao in Erandio. Barakaldo is located 15 km from Bilbao Airport.

Demographics
Population peaked in the 1990s to over 100,300. The decline of local industry decreased the population, though, and in 2002, 95,000 people lived in Barakaldo. However, a recent increase has sent the population to 100,502 residents.

Tourism
Tourists visit sites in Barakaldo such as the Botanic Garden, the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, the medieval Bridge of Castrexana, and some of the city's street sculptures. In July, the town celebrates "Las Fiestas del Carmen," which includes open-air concerts and large fairs.

Sports
Barakaldo is represented by the Barakaldo Club de Fútbol in Spain's Segunda División B. They play home games at the Estadio Nuevo Lasesarre. A second team, SD Retuerto Sport, plays in Tercera División. Local league teams include Gurutzeta KFT, UD Burtzeña, Pauldarrak FKT, Zuazo C.F. and S.C.D. Dosa-Salesianos.

Handball has played a part in Barakaldo's tradition. Now, two teams are present in competitions: Club Balonmano Zuazo Femenino, playing in División de Honor Femenina de Balonmano, and Club Balonmano Barakaldo who plays in the Liga ASOBAL.

Bizkaia Arena is an indoor arena with a capacity of 18,640. It hosted some games of the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

This list of endangered languages is a real good thing but I think that would be interesting to have a kind of worldmap next to it in order to locate the languages more easily.

Extraction methods
In spite of his theoretical validity the sinolea method has been widely abandoned mainly because of some unwanted side effects.

Mainly the oxidation which takes place during the extraction thwarts the benefits of a first cold extraction. At the moment really few plants in the world still use the sinolea method.

We have to bear in mind that the olive oil production is an extraction which main aim is preserve the oil quality content in the fruit, but nevertheless certain damage is inevitable.

As rightly pointed out by your article the main enemies are light and oxygen. In order to preserve the oil quality new crushing methods have been introduced and malaxing under controlled atmosphere is becoming every day more popular.

The new crusher methods are directed to avoid a significant temperature increase during the crushing and, at the same time, not to add to much oxygen, even if, being an open process is, in practise, impossible operate without oxygen. So the new idea is not to crush the olives but cut them with some special devices like disc crushers or knife crushers.

The malaxer is essentially a vessel which stirs and heats the paste at a determinate temperature, for a time not shorter than 30 minutes. So a big oxidation issue is present in this phase of the process if the malaxer is open to the air. From recent researches, however, it seems that a small oxidation of the paste during the oil extraction is advisable in order to develop some aromas and flavours. Mainly because of this, it seems that the best way is operate with close malaxers without adding inert gas, in order to allow a first oxidation which helps the oil taste and at the same time consumes the oxygen present in the malaxer avoiding further degradation.

 * By that logic, couldn't a multiracial person who's part white be called white too? MacMoney 19:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't look at Danko Jones, look at a helicopter!

Genre
Is their genre just hard rock? I know nothing about the band but it seems like they are associated with many heavy metal acts and have played with many heavy metal acts. They've additionally played at a lot of different heavy metal festivals and guested on heavy metal albums. Just wondering.  Blizzard Beast  ''$ODIN' 19:01, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

You could describe Danko Jones as hard rock or indie rock. From what I hear, they are 10X better on stage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.110.242.87 (talk) 00:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

One of their genres is Blues-Rock here, and I can't see why. I will delete it for now, and if someone can give a source/song(s) that proves me wrong please do that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.152.99.31 (talk) 13:45, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

An Honours Section
I think a section for honours is necessary. It helps in quickly identifying noteability. When there is such a list, the article must talk about the items in the list. It is not redundant to have it. Argolin (talk) 23:35, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

You have a point. We'll leave it at that. Lyckankommer (talk • contribs) 12:29, 26 April 2010

John Calabrese merge here?
A new article has been created for John Calabrese, but there's nothing in that article yet about his notability for work outside of that band. Is he also notable for his solo projects, or for his work in other bands? Thanks, Filing Flunky (talk) 08:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Split discography to Danko Jones discography
 Split  - Discography is long compared to the remainder of the article and should be split off. Thoughts? --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:09, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems sensible, why not be bold and do it? GiantSnowman 14:25, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 *  Reply  - I like to allow a full calendar month (i.e. November 1-30) to pass before deleting information that is already in the article (7 total days if I put it in there myself). This allows for the possibility of a meaningful discussion to take place. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:47, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It probably should be, if it includes records of note. There is a precedent if you look at pages like {{Living Colour]] and others. I'm not sure if the videography should be part of it - unless there is a collection of the band's videos on DVD. But I guess you plan to tidy it up before you transfer it?Karst (talk) 21:10, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Help?
Hi there

I tried to remove the link to "John Calabrese" in the "Members" section, because it just redirects back here. When I did that, though, the "Timeline" graphic suddenly had a bunch of black lines all over it, so I undid my change.

I think figuring this out is beyond my expertise.

Supposed Twitter controversy
I removed the following from the article:

"On May 11th 2021 Danko Jones received heat for doxxing an Ani Jewish Rabbi for disagreeing with the bands stance on the Covid 19 vaccine. "

The source given was just Danko Jones' Twitter feed and had no evidence for the claim. The closest was a short spat with another Twitter user about statements that Metallica frontman James Hatfield made about COVID vaccines. Looking at that other user's profile page, he may well happen to be Jewish, but that didn't seem to have any bearing on the exchange between him and the band's account, and I could't see any evidence of doxxing or the band getting any "heat" for anything. Unless there is a reliable source that can corroborate the above claim, it seems to me as if someone is trying to blow a typical Twitter disagreement way out of proportion. --Baumi (talk) 14:38, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

User:Maury Markowitz/Manifesto for a Better Word Processor/What sort of document views do we need?

I'm not sure how much discussion is needed here, this is one article that will likely turn into a feature list.

 * 1) text editor mode - all page layout disappears, along with headers and footers. character/paragraph styles remain (??).
 * 2) WYSIWYG - I loved the one in MacWrite, the "floating pages". Anyone have any other good examples? IIRC Pages does this well.
 * 3) continuous pages - similar to the basic mode in Word, but hopefully not as dambed ugly. Basically similar to WYSIWYG, but the area around the page disappears.
 * 4) n-up - gotta have this. With 30" monitors out there, don't think "2-up", think "n-up"!

One of the complaints about FullWrite was that the various markers could only be seen in specific views. For instance, one could not see both outlines and change bars. So let's make all of these things optional...

 * change bars -- need to figure this out, there're not useful if there's 50 edits
 * line numbers
 * section/chapter/paragraph/etc. numbers
 * invisibles - tabs, returns, etc.
 * sticky notes

Reveal Codes
I really liked WordPerfect's "Reveal Codes" feature. In a pure WYSIWYG editor it is often hard to see why a certain section of text is formatting in some strange way. When you can see the offending codes, you can delete them, or select and copy the good ones to another document.

Those who are comfortable editing HTML source code have a similar benefit, if the HTML is not so complicated that you can no longer see what's going on. So IMHO the ideal document processor should show -- and store on disk -- readable ASCII instructions conceptually similar to HTML or wiki markup. The codes could be in one window while the WYSIWYG result could be in another window allowing the user to instantly see the effect of every action. 72.208.56.148 14:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

File Save
Someone recently asked a question that becomes glaringly obvious once you think about it. We are no longer using computers with two floppy disks. But we still use behaviors left over from those times, such as saving our files to disk every now and then. Why shouldn't every keystroke be written to disk the second you type it? Indeed if the disk had nothing more than a log of actions applied to the (originally empty) document, you would have every previous version of the document in one file and yet it still might be a lot smaller than the bloated 3-megabyte-per-page files some document software produces. Why should it take 10,000 bytes to store a document containing 100 keystrokes?

I realize this suggestion is somewhat in conflict with the suggestion to store ASCII markup on disk in a format similar to HTML, but submit both for discussion and consideration. 72.208.56.148 14:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:THE_SHRIT_(front).JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:THE_SHRIT_(front).JPG. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as db-unksource.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Image copyright problem RE: Image:Escortcarrier.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Escortcarrier.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:
 * The copyright holder, and
 * The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this:.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:
 * An open content licence
 * Public Domain
 * Fair Use

 * The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: cc-by-sa-2.5.  The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work.  Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: GFDL.

 * The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.

 * Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See   here  for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments)  However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See here for images from the UK government).  Non-free licence governments are listed here.

 * Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

 * P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them.  Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --Sherool (talk) 00:22, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The same goes for these images: Image:Nubianstarbird.jpg, Image:Nubiancruiser.jpg, Image:Queenship-ig01.jpg, Image:Nubian-armed.jpg, Image:E065airspeeder.jpg, Image:Legine.jpg, Image:Protorp2.jpg, Image:Naboofighter8.jpg, Image:Naboobomber.jpg, Image:Naboofighter4.jpg, Image:Naboofighter2.jpg, Image:Naboofighterl1.jpg and Image:Wlightmedium2.jpg.
 * In addition these images lack both source and copyright info: Image:Nubianshuttle.jpg, Image:Corelliangunship.jpg and Image:Gunga.jpg
 * Please fix this ASAP, these images become eligable for speedy deletion 7 days from now unless they have a proper source and copyright information. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 23:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Christmas Every Day

Christmas Every Day is a 1996 American made-for-television fantasy-comedy film based on the 1892 short story "Christmas Every Day" by William Dean Howells.

It was directed by Larry Peerce, starred Erik von Detten, and originally broadcast on The Family Channel during their first 25 Days of Christmas programming block.

The movie was remade into an ABC Family TV movie in 2006 titled Christmas Do-Over.

Original story by Howells
"Christmas Every Day" is a short story by William Dean Howells about a young American girl, whose wish that Christmas would come daily is granted for an entire year. It was published in Christmas Every Day and Other Stories Told for Children in 1892.

Plot
The film is set in the fictional town of Greenwood Falls, Virginia (just outside Washington, D.C.) and stars Erik von Detten as Billy Jackson, a selfish teenager forced to relive the same Christmas every day. Billy's younger sister Sarah (Yvonne Zima) wishes that it was Christmas every day, and thereafter he has to keep repeating Christmas Day until he realizes the true meaning of the holiday season.

The movie also stars Robert Hays and Bess Armstrong as Billy's parents.

Billy finds the entire experience to be a nightmare. "My life is on rewind," he moans. Each December 25, he must face the school bully (Tyler Mason Buckalew); he must also get involved in his grocer father's dispute with his fat-cat uncle (Robert Curtis Brown) who wants to build a mega-store and ruin the local merchants.

Cast

 * Robert Hays – Henry Jackson
 * Bess Armstrong – Molly Jackson
 * Erik von Detten – Billy Jackson
 * Yvonne Zima – Sarah Jackson
 * Robert Curtis Brown – Uncle David Jackson
 * Robin Riker – Aunt Carolyn Jackson
 * Julia Whelan – Cousin Jacey Jackson
 * Tyler Mason Buckalew – Joey Manusco
 * Terrence Currier – Mr. Charmers (as Terrence P. Currier)
 * Kara Woods – Diane
 * Lindsay Austin Hough – Mike

Talk:List of Canadian provinces and territories by area

Comment
This table should also include Square Miles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.76.241.96 (talk)

Question
Why is Total Area at the very bottom? --JimWae 03:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Why is this featured?
Why is this featured if it contains unsourced statements? --Oreo Priest 18:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed the request for a source that I added on July 24, 2006. One can confirm the land area for the following countries (based on the data in the infobox for each country):

 * 1) China: 9,641,266 km² * (1 - 0.028) = 9,371,310.552 km²
 * 2) United States: 9,631,420 km² * (1 - 0.0487) = 9,162,369.846 km²
 * 3) Canada: 9,984,670 km² * (1 - 0.0892) = 9,094,037.436 km²
 * I think a list of countries by land area would also be helpful, either as a standalone article or as part of List of countries and outlying territories by area. Hope this helps. Ufwuct 21:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

This table makes no sense
1 mile = 1.6km, so how is it possible that the area values given in Square Miles are all less than half of the areas given in Square Kilometres? For example, if Canada's total area is 9,984,670km squared, it's total area in miles squared should be 6,240,419mi squared. The actual value given is 3,855,171mi squared.Gh0ti-2 (talk) 15:24, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Because 1 square mile = 2.589 square kilometres; this is because 1.6 has to be squared (1.62=2.6) when discussing area (hence the term square km / mi). You will then find that the math works out quite well. Arsenikk (talk)  17:27, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Aha. Thanks for clearing that up - Maths never was my strong suit. Gh0ti-2 (talk) 21:48, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

This article needs verification. The use of reference footnoting on the Mi2 columns imply that the conversions were provided by the Government source, but I find no such. The conversions were likely calculated by a Wiki author. As example Alberta lists as having more land area than total area in square miles!!! The incorrect figure of 275,000 goes back years. The correct figure should be roughly 248K Mi2. Other figures will likely have some rounding errors. BTW if the wiki article on the Mile is correct of this date the square would be sqr(1.609344) = 2.589988110336 = 2.589988 Km2/Mi2-statute. Anyway if a wiki author does the conversion (as I suspect happened) please footnote the conversion factor. GardenMulch (talk) 15:44, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Coastal waters
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious here, but surely each of the provinces (other than Alberta and Saskatchewan) have coastal waters that fall within their boundaries? Or is water below the low-tide mark "federal" only? Andrew Gwilliam (talk) 05:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC).
 * Territorial waters belong to Canada, which is to say "The Queen in Right of Canada" (a.k.a. the federal government). Provinces have no jurisdiction starting at the high water mark. It's a strange concept for us "Central Canadians" inasmuch as we have huge inland waterways which are patrolled by the OPP and Sûreté du Québec, as well as Coast Guard, RCMP and CBSA where they form the border (and corresponding US agencies, of course). 76.66.87.21 (talk) 16:41, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

SpaceShip III

SpaceShip III (SS3, also with Roman numeral: SSIII; formerly SpaceShipThree) was an upcoming class of spaceplanes by Virgin Galactic to follow SpaceShipTwo. It was first teased on the Virgin Galactic Twitter account on 25 February 2021 announcing the rollout of the first SpaceShip III plane on 30 March 2021.

By June 2024, development of the two SpaceShip III vehicles, VSS Imagine and VSS Inspire was canceled, with the intention of using the vehicles for ground testing and development for the successor Delta-class spacecraft. So in the end, no SpaceShip III vehicles were completed or flown (not flown in any way, i.e. no captive carry flight, no glide flight, no powered flight nor any other type of flight).

Concept evolution
The purpose originally proposed for SpaceShipThree in 2005 was for commercial orbital spaceflight, as part of a program called "Tier 2" by Burt Rutan founder of Scaled Composites.

By 2008, Scaled Composites had reduced those plans and articulated a conceptual design wherein the SpaceShipThree vehicles were to be used for transportation through point-to-point suborbital spaceflight traveling outside the atmosphere with the spacecrafts providing, for example, a two-hour trip on the Kangaroo Route (from London to Sydney or Melbourne).

Scaled was sold to Northrop Grumman in 2007, and references to further work on a conceptual Scaled SS3 ended at some point afterwards from Scaled. Scaled was realigned by Northrop Grumman in 2015 as a research unit. Virgin Galactic acquired full control of The Spaceship Company in 2012, the manufacturer of SS2. The technology was built upon the base technology owned by Mojave Aerospace Ventures of Paul Allen, originally licensed in 2004. As Allen died in 2018, subsequent space activities of the Vulcan Group went inactive.

By 2016, Richard Branson was still planning to have a point-to-point sub-orbital spaceliner follow-up to SpaceShipTwo, for Virgin Galactic and The Spaceship Company.

Revised concept
The SpaceShip III vehicle concept was revised to provide just a few minutes of weightlessness and views for space tourists for Virgin Galactic, and was meant to be a production version of SpaceShipTwo, with improved maintenance and flight rate performance. It did not have point to point transportation capabilities as previously envisioned in 2016.

In early 2021, Virgin Galactic teased an upcoming vehicle on their Twitter account with the name shown in stylized font as "SPACESHIP 3".

Development
The first Spaceship III, VSS Imagine suborbital spaceplane for Virgin Galactic, was announced on 25 February 2021 and was rolled out on 30 March 2021. On that occasion, it was indicated there was ground testing to be done before glide test flights could commence, no earlier than the summer of 2021. Imagine was one of two SpaceShip III class spacecraft on order by Virgin Galactic, the second being VSS Inspire.

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch is a 2005 American direct-to-video animated science fiction comedy-drama film produced by the Australian office of Disneytoon Studios. It was directed by Tony Leondis and Michael LaBash, both of whom co-wrote the film with Eddie Guzelian and Alexa Junge. It is the third film released in the Lilo & Stitch franchise and the second film in the franchise's animated chronology, taking place between the events of Lilo & Stitch (2002) and Lilo & Stitch: The Series pilot film Stitch! The Movie (2003), serving mainly as a direct sequel to the former. It was released on DVD and VHS on August 30, 2005, and is the last Lilo & Stitch film to be released in the latter format.

Plot
Sometime after the events of the first film and before Jumba's other experiments are scattered across Hawaii, Stitch awakens from a nightmare about turning bad again and causing destruction to Earth, including hurting Lilo. After consoling Stitch by reminding him that she knows he would never cause harm to her, Lilo tests his goodness level by having him do a few good deeds. Upon discovering that they are late for hula class, they use their hovercraft to get there.

While at the hula class, Kumu announces that Lilo and her classmates will be prepared to perform at the local May Day festival, with each student required to create an original dance. Lilo is inspired when Kumu tells her about her mother being in the festival at her age and winning, giving her a picture of the event. After the hula class ends, Mertle insults Lilo by telling her that she will never be like her mother, causing her to start a fight with her (which Stitch takes pictures of). As a result of this, Kumu thinks that Lilo is not ready for the competition, however, she says that she is ready and "triple promises" to be good.

While preparing for the competition, Lilo and Stitch have a hard time coming up with ideas and Nani wants them to enjoy their family fun night. While watching Them! together with Jumba, Pleakley, and David, Stitch unexpectedly starts to glitch out, which causes him to go berserk in the house. It turns out that after Stitch was created, Jumba did not get the chance to fully charge Stitch's molecules as the intergalactic police arrested him, disrupting the process. At first, this glitch causes Stitch to revert to his old destructive programming against his free will, but it will ultimately kill him if Jumba cannot create a fusion chamber before Stitch's energy runs out forever.

Meanwhile, Stitch's uncontrollable destructive behavior drives a wedge between him and Lilo and threatens to ruin her chances for success at the hula competition. Lilo and Stitch try to be inspired for their hula, but Stitch keeps malfunctioning because of his molecules. Since Lilo is so concerned about winning the competition, she fails to notice Stitch's glitch, and believes his new behavior is deliberate and begins to neglect him, much to his chagrin and eventual distress. Elsewhere, Nani's on-and-off boyfriend, David, believes Nani is losing interest in him, so Pleakley comes to his aid and tries to give advice on romance.

Eventually, Lilo and Stitch devise a hula based on the legend of Hiʻiaka. Lilo gets increasingly mad at Stitch as he ruins their practice sessions. To make matters worse, Jumba is having problems creating the fusion chamber because he doesn't have the proper alien technology to build one and must resort to using mere household objects. However, on the day of the competition, Stitch arrives just before Lilo is to perform, wishing her luck. The two reconcile as Jumba finally completes the fusion chamber. However, Stitch has another abrupt fit. Lilo, confused, tries to ask Stitch if he's okay, but he accidentally scratches her face like in his nightmare. Knowing that Stitch would never want to intentionally hurt her, Lilo finally realizes that something is wrong with him and tries to ask, but Stitch, greatly horrified and remorseful, runs off to leave Earth, as he believes himself to be too dangerous.

In the middle of her performance, Lilo ultimately forfeits the competition and runs off to help Stitch and learns that he is malfuctioning. As Stitch attempts to leave Earth, Lilo and the rest of the family desperately try to get him to return so they can recharge him. While taking off, Stitch suffers his most violent and painful outburst, which causes him to lose control and crash the spaceship in the Hawaiian mountains. Lilo rides over to the crash site in their hovercraft, where she finds Stitch injured and close to death. She hurriedly gets him into Jumba's fusion chamber, but it's too late and Lilo watches in tears as Stitch apologizes one last time and dies. When a disheartened Jumba takes Stitch out of the chamber, Lilo holds him close and softly apologizes for her ungrateful treatment of him, having finally understood that while she kept saying that she needed him, he needed her more. She says that he is her ohana and, therefore, will always love him and breaks down in tears. Everyone grieves for a time as Lilo weeps, but Stitch eventually awakens, much to everyone's happiness. Pleakley is at a loss for words, to which Jumba explains what happened: Stitch was revived by Lilo's love.

Later that night, the family (along with David) performs Lilo's hula dance on the empty stage, and Nani tells Lilo that their mother would be proud of her, and a star twinkles in the sky to justify.

Cast

 * Chris Sanders as Stitch, a blue koala-like illegal genetic experiment (of which he is Experiment 626) from the planet Turo who finds his place as part of an extended family on Earth, but begins having malfunctioning glitches as his molecules were not completely charged when he was created.
 * Dakota Fanning as Lilo Pelekai, a young Hawaiian girl who adopted Stitch and is determined to win a hula competition that her late mother previously won without realizing that Stitch is malfunctioning. Fanning took over for Daveigh Chase as she was busy voicing her character in Lilo & Stitch: The Series.
 * Tia Carrere as Nani Pelekai, Lilo's older sister and legal guardian, who carries the burden of supporting herself, Lilo and now Stitch both financially and parentally.
 * David Ogden Stiers as Dr. Jumba Jookiba, a Kweltikwan mad scientist formerly employed by Galaxy Defense Industries who created Stitch, and now watches over him with the family they made on Earth, When Stitch begins glitching due to not being fully charged when he created him Jumba tries to build a Fusion Chamber to charge his molecules before Stitch shuts down permanently.
 * Kevin McDonald as Pleakley, a Plorgonarian agent formerly employed by the United Galactic Federation, who assigned him as Jumba's assistant on Earth, who now lives with his partner on Earth along with Lilo, Nani, and Stitch. He even helps Jumba build a Fusion Chamber so he can charge Stitch's molecules that were shutting down.
 * Jason Scott Lee as David Kawena, Nani's surfer boyfriend. Lee reprises his role from the first film.
 * Liliana Mumy as Mertle Edmonds, a young girl who is one of Lilo's classmates and her main rival.
 * Kunewa Mook as Moses Puloki (credited as "Kumu"), Lilo's hula teacher.
 * Jillian Henry as Elena, the blonde-haired girl in Lilo's hula class and Mertle's posse.
 * Holliston Coleman as Teresa, who Moses calls "Aleka" in this film; Disneytoon Studios gave all three girls in Mertle's posse different names from what they were given in Lilo & Stitch: The Series, but only Teresa's differing name was revealed.
 * Paul C. Vogt as Gator Guard and Various Voices

Additional voices include William J. Caparella, Matt Corboy, Jennifer Hale, and Emily Osment.

Cast and recording
This is the only film in the series without actress Daveigh Chase who voices Lilo in all other Lilo & Stitch films. According to Disney Animation Studios, Chase was so busy working on Lilo & Stitch: The Series that she suggested to have renowned child actress and good friend Dakota Fanning play her. Chris Sanders, the writer/director of the first film, did not participate fully. The film also became Disney's first and only direct-to-video animated film to be rated PG by the MPAA for some mild action. Jason Scott Lee, who voiced David in the first film, reprised his role, making it the final time he voiced the character.

Animation
The animation was produced by Walt Disney Animation (Australia) Inc., Australis Productions, and A. Film A/S, although those animation studios were never credited, except for Australis Productions.

The Origin of Stitch short film
The Origin of Stitch is an animated short film included on the DVD release of Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch. The short has a total running time of 4:35 minutes and serves as a bridge between Stitch Has a Glitch and Stitch! The Movie (as well as Lilo & Stitch: The Series). In the short, Stitch discovers Jumba's secret computer that reveals what creatures Jumba had used to create Stitch and also hints at his other 625 experiments. Stitch is scared to find out what a monster he is, only for Jumba to come and explain how he found love when he met Lilo. The short was directed by Mike Disa and co-directed by Tony Bancroft.

Toonacious Family Entertainment produced the short with coloring done by Powerhouse Animation of Austin, Texas.

Soundtrack
Disney's Lilo & Stitch Island Favorites Featuring Songs from Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch is the soundtrack album to Lilo & Stitch 2. The soundtrack is partly an updated repackaging of another album also titled Disney's Lilo & Stitch: Island Favorites that was released in November 2002, reusing some of the same songs that appeared on that album. The song "He Mele No Lilo" had been included in the first film, Lilo & Stitch. "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride", also from the original film, appears in two versions; a cover of the song by Jump5 (who performed the Lilo & Stitch: The Series theme song "Aloha, E Komo Mai") and a remixed version of the original performed by Mark Kealii Hoomalu and the Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus. The soundtrack also includes Tia Carrere's (the voice of Nani) version of "Aloha ʻOe" as performed in the original film, but with additional backing instrumentation. It was released by Walt Disney Records on August 30, 2005.

Critical reception
On critical response aggregation website, Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 40%, and an average score of 5.5 out of 10 based on 10 reviews.

Hi-Def Digest said, "The humor in the second movie is juvenile, and lacking in the wit that makes the first so distinctive. The characterizations are heavily simplified, to the point where some of the characters feel dumbed down. Also, a lame subplot involving one of Lilo's peers feels silly and has a poor resolution. Even worse is the false sentimentality of the climax, which feels like cheap heartstring-tugging". ReelFilm gave a 2.5 out of 5 star rating, saying "Lilo & Stitch 2 is cute enough - there are a few genuinely funny moments here, while the voice acting is surprisingly effective - although the film does eventually wear out its welcome".

In a 2019 list of direct-to-video sequels, prequels, and "mid-quels" to Disney animated films, Petrana Radulovic of Polygon ranked Lilo & Stitch 2 first out of twenty-six films on the list, appreciating its faithfulness to the original film's tone. She stated, "The other two Lilo & Stitch sequels were just fine, but they didn’t capture the essence of what made the original special, choosing instead to focus on aliens. Stitch Has a Glitch, however, manages to balance the alien story with the human one. [...] Overall, the movie verges on being cheesy, but it is a satisfying, heartwarming type of goo, with very funny moments and gags." In a similar list in 2020, Lisa Wehrstedt of Insider ranked Lilo & Stitch 2 second out of twenty-five films on her list, behind The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. Werhstedt, who considered the film "heartwarming" and "sweet", wrote that the film "manages to keep the perfect mix of cute and wacky that made the first one so charming."

At the 33rd Annie Awards, Lilo & Stitch 2 won the Annie Award for Best Animated Home Entertainment Production.

Home media
Although originally slated for a theatrical release (like Return to Never Land), it was released to DVD and VHS on August 30, 2005. This is the last Lilo & Stitch film to have a VHS release; the fourth film, Leroy & Stitch, released in 2006, would later be only released on DVD.

The DVD extras include a short film called The Origin of Stitch which features a newly redesigned Stitch, a music video for the theme song "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" by Jump5, two games ("Jumba's Experiment Profiler" and "Where's Pleakley?" - similar to Where's Wally?).

Green Party (United States)
Could you please respond to my question at Talk:Green Party (United States)? Thanks. RadicalSubversiv E 00:43, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Regarding the discussion at Talk:Green Party (United States), I have suggested a move. Please see Talk:Green Party of the United States, and consider voting.  --65.28.237.180 04:01, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

G/GPUSA
Ben Manski (a rather high-profile former co-chair of the GPUS), has just made some good additions to the article. However, I am somewhat concerned about this change (about the G/GPUSA):

Though for a time they represented themselves otherwise, today they describe themselves as "a national non-profit membership organization," not as a political party.

I can find no indication of any such thing on their website, which continues to call the G/GPUSA "American's oldest and original Green Party."

Can anyone provide a source? If not, I'll probably revert this change.

RadicalSubversiv E 00:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Reply re: G/GPUSA
I can - no worries - it's at the bottom of their front page:

http://www.greenparty.org/

You'll also notice that they refer to themselves as an "organization" throughout. Finally, they are no longer registered as a political party committee with the FEC.

 * Thanks -- let that be a lesson to me in reading the fine print. Thanks also for the book recommendations.

 * No problem, and you're welcome.

 * In any case, welcome to Wikipedia -- you certainly bring valuable expertise in the Green Party and progressive politics more generally.

 * I'd read plenty on Wikipedia over the past year, just never had reason to participate until now. I'm sold.

 * One note based on your recent contributions -- as a general matter of style, we do not use in-line external links in the article text, except as specific citations (e.g., "According to Green Party leader Ben Manski, George Bush is a dangerous fool."). Instead, external links are relegated to a separate External links section at the end of an article. See External links for more, or Manual of style for overall style guidance.

Well, not surprising to see another Green here - sort of lends itself to our mode of thinking. Welcome! - Scooter 21:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I made the changes you recently removed. I'd like to discuss them. Please see my comment at the talk page of the article.

-User:DKalkin

Request for assitance
I've noticed that you are dealing with POV attacks, which I and it appears you as well, consider to be vandalism on the David Cobb page. This vandalism has been perpetuated by an anonymous IP user, most recently designated as 66.42.8.192. You may have noticed that while this user has a variable IP connection and remains anonymous, that it is likely the same person repeatedly pushing his/her point of view. I have had a very similar problem with this same user on Arcata, California, The Arcata Eye and The Plazoid. I have watch listed the David Cobb and the Green Party pages and will be vigilant for this user, please do the same for the pages I have mentioned. Together, hopefully, we will be able to cut down on the vandalism by this anonymous user. BTW, I was a Green when I was living in California, but Virginia doesn't allow party registration. Thanks. --Metatree 04:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I drew the same conclusion. The attacks are of the same kind, and the same misinformation, and exact same phrases in many cases, that appear on those CA websites.  I have the Cobb, Nader, and Green Party sites watchlisted as well.  I think if this vandalism continues, it will be necessary to do more than routinely clean it up. What options do we have via Wikipedia?  And on another note, why does Wikipedia allow anonymous editing at all? -- Ben Manski

Chester La Follette
I started an article about the painter Chester La Follette. He was famous for a painting of his cousin, Senator Robert M. La Follette, Sr. in the United States Capitol. I was able to add this unto the Chester La Follette article.Thank you-RFD 12:47, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, you are very welcome. - Ben

Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
I added a section to the Robert M. La Follette, Sr. article about his early life-going to college and his marriage. These events were important to Senator La Follette's life. Someone else added some information about Senator La Follette's portrait in the U.S. Capitol so I added Chester La Follette to the article. Please let myself know what you think.

Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Category:American democracy activists
Hey there, I thought you'd appreciate & make use of the new Category I've just created - Category:American democracy activists. I was astounded that it hadn't already been created (though such gaps aren't very unusual, truth be told). Anyway, I started tagging pertinent articles, and came across your name in a category where it didn't really belong (Category:Democracy). After checking out your article, I went ahead and added it/you to the new category -- which is a much better place to be listed. Needless to say, you're in good company!

I really need to write a definition/description for the category so editors don't start adding all sorts of people who don't really belong there. (eg. all civil rights activists, or all third-party politicians) I want to keep it focused on promotion of Democracy & democratic participation (not just voting). You're certainly welcome to lend a hand with this, if you're interested. Regards, Cgingold 14:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi Cgingold, I do truly appreciate that new category.
 * The fact that there was no such category before says a lot about where the USA's been; the fact that it's now obvious that we need that category . ..
 * well, we can only hope that says where we're going. Any luck so far on a definition? - Ben (23:38, October 1, 2007)

International AIDS Vaccine Initiative

The International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) is a global not-for-profit, public-private partnership working to accelerate the development of vaccines to prevent HIV infection and AIDS. IAVI researches and develops vaccine candidates, conducts policy analyses, serves as an advocate for the HIV prevention field and engages communities in the trial process and AIDS vaccine education. The organization takes a comprehensive approach to HIV and AIDS that supports existing HIV prevention and treatment programs while emphasizing the need for new AIDS prevention tools. It also works to ensure that future vaccines will be accessible to all who need them.

History
In 1994, the Rockefeller Foundation convened an international meeting of AIDS researchers, vaccinologists, public health officials, and representatives from philanthropic organizations in Bellagio, Italy, to evaluate the challenges facing HIV/AIDS vaccine development and identify ways to jump-start research.

The International AIDS Vaccine Initiative was founded in 1996 by epidemiologist Seth Berkeley with the mission of accelerating the development and global distribution of preventative AIDS vaccines.

In February 2023, Muhammad Ali Pate was appointed chairman of the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi), which works to provide vaccines in low-income countries.

Activities
IAVI's scientific team, drawn largely from private industry, researches and develops AIDS vaccine candidates and engages in clinical trials and research through partnerships with more than 100 academic, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and governmental institutions.

In September 2009, a global group of researchers led by IAVI published a study in the journal Science identifying PG9 and PG16, two highly powerful broadly neutralizing antibodies against a wide variety of HIV variants. The site on the virus to which PG9 and PG16 attach revealed a vulnerability on HIV. PG9 and PG16 were the first new broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV discovered in more than a decade and are the result of a global effort launched in 2006.

Partnerships
To address major obstacles in AIDS vaccine development, IAVI partners with HIV researchers from around the world. Its Neutralizing Antibody Center is a network dedicated to discovering and understanding broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV and using that knowledge in the design of vaccines.

IAVI is a founding member of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise, an alliance of independent organizations working towards an AIDS vaccine. It also partners with civil society organizations and other entities to advocate jointly for the development of AIDS vaccines, and is a member of the Global Health Technologies Coalition, an alliance of more than 30 non-profit groups that aims to increase awareness of the urgent need for technologies that save lives in developing countries.

Donors
IAVI's work is funded by donors including: the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Irish Aid, the Ministry of Finance of Japan in partnership with The World Bank, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, the United Kingdom Department for International Development, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
