 * Rename, however I recommend that it be renamed as category:books based on computer and video games instead. This will cover all types of genre of books. Dread Lord C y b e r S k u l l ✎☠ 21:07, 2005 August 26 (UTC)
 * COMMENT that would also cover hint books, video game history books, and the like. I don't think that's the intent. 132.205.45.148 16:45, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Tip books/strategy guides would be Category:Books about computer and video games. I meant for Category:Books based on computer and video games to cover novels and graphic novels/manga, narratives based on the game, not supplemental information about the game.

Rename to Category:Animation based on computer and video games. -Sean Curtin 23:20, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename, but I would suggest it be moved to Category:Animated series based on computer and video games. Feature films should be filed in Category:Films based on computer and video games. --FuriousFreddy 14:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * RENAME, but subcategorize with Animation series and Animation films 132.205.3.20 15:30, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * "Animation series" and "animation films" should be "animated television series" per Category:Animated television series and "animated films" per Category:Animated films, respectively. That said, I agree with the proposed subcategorization.  -Sean Curtin 03:51, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

~99% redundant with Category:Marvel Comics characters. If the distinction really merits separation via categories, Marvel's non-Marvel Universe characters should be categorized as such instead. -Sean Curtin 22:28, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * To whoever closes this: if consensus is to (merge and) delete, please don't repopulate the articles into Category:Marvel Comics characters if the articles are already populated into one of that category's many subcategories. -Sean Curtin 03:54, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, unless there are in fact a large number of articles that belong in one cat and not the other. siafu 22:36, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Category:Marvel Comics characters includes characters owned by Marvel while Category:Marvel Universe characters covers characters which have been shown to exist in the Marvel Universe. There is a big difference. Many characters such as Conan the Barbarian and Fu Manchu are not owned by Marvel but have been important parts of the Marvel Universe. However, I would support the re-categorisation of Marvel's non-Mu characters as suggested by Sean Curtin above. Hueysheridan 00:13, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Would the problem be resolved by adding Comic characters as a subcategory of Universe characters?
 * Not really - there are characters who are owned by Marvel but who are not part of the Marvel Universe (Royal Roy, Spider-Ham) that are listed at Category:Marvel Comics characters.

However I see the point that the overlap might be confusing, but that just makes the case for writing clearer introductions on the category page - howabout "Characters owned by Marvel Comics though not necessarily a part of the Marvel Universe" for Category:Marvel Comics characters and "Fictional characters who have been shown to exist in the Marvel Universe, though not all owned by Marvel Comics" or some better written variation thereof? Hueysheridan 10:08, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * While I understand Hueysheridan's point, the distinction is far from clear to most people, nor is it clear from the category naming. I believe merge&delete would be best, and for those few characters present in the Universe but not owned by Marvel, that should be noted in the articles. Otherwise the distinction would just end up confusing people. Radiant_ >|< 08:48, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * And note that users tend not to read category pages - categorization should be evident from the name of the category. Radiant_ >|< 13:52, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * COMMENT I don't think Fu Manchu or Conan should appear in an Marvel category. It's like listing Star Trek characters as part of DC Comics, just because they published some comics based on them, or Marvel, come to think of it, there's a Planet-X novel with Marvel characters set in TNG. 132.205.3.20 15:38, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and delete It pains me to point this out, but I seem to remember Doctor Who has been shown to exist within the Marvel Universe by dint of interacting with charcaters who later appeared in the Marvel Universe. Therefore this is redundant, as the distinction is impossible to make.  Hiding  talk 21:34, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, no merge - SoM 16:56, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. All of the Marvel categories need to be cleaned up, as the guys dealing with them have no compunctions about redundant categories, but I digress. --Apostrophe 21:51, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Another example of overcategorization. It has no articles, and the only subcategory is Airline Companies of Puerto Rico. Delete it. Airline Companies of Puerto Rico can be added to Category:Companies of Puerto Rico and Category:Transportation in Puerto Rico, which should suffice. Dbinder 13:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. No argument. siafu 14:52, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, agreed. James F. (talk) 22:10, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename as suggested. James F. (talk) 22:10, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The categories I mentioned already exist. I meant that Airline Companies of Puerto Rico should be moved into those two in this one's place. Dbinder 13:10, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -Splash 17:36, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom ∞ Who ? ¿ ?  01:26, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or possibly move the subsequent listings into Category:Transportation companies of the United States. Note that there are currently Category:Transport operators of Hong Kong, Category:Transport operators of Singapore, Category:Transportation companies of Canada, Category:Transportation companies of the United States, and Category:Transport operators of the United Kingdom (which obviously should be standardized).  To quote User:Aecis from another CfD, What matters is whether the category is relevant (I think it is), whether it is well-defined (I think it is), whether it can be filled (I think it can) and whether it follows the existing hierarchy (I think it does). -- Reinyday, 07:54, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The difference is that Puerto Rico is not a country. Singapore, the US, Canada, and the UK are. PR is a territory of the US. There is no category "Transportation Companies of Guam" or "Transportation Companies of the US Virgin Islands". Dbinder 17:50, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was defer to cat titles discussion --Kbdank71 13:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

This category name is non-standard and not in conventional English. It is inconsistent with the parent and grandparent categories. As for the idea that people won't be sure what it means, those who make that point know perfectly well what it means perfectly and also know that everyone else does too. The only linked foreign language equivalent is in Czech and is called Američtí dramatici.CalJW 11:22, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I presume you're referring to American -v- U.S.? If so, deferto Category titles which is gradually drifting towards conclusion. -Splash 12:51, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * We can at least rename it to "United States" whatever; abbreviations are frowned upon. Radiant_ >|< 14:41, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 13:48, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Not a category for regular cast members (they're in Category:Simpsons cast members), but for people who have made a guest appearance, which means lumping together Danny Devito, Liam Neeson and U2. Much as I love The Simpsons, this should probably be a list. JW 10:32, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: Possibly rename it or move it, instead of delete? I'm no expert but I'm guessing there are a great many guests in that series, and it may be a good idea to seperate them out for easier viewing of both this list and the original page about the serial. Kevin 10:49, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * A list would still have its own page to make it separate from the main article, and would be in Category:The Simpsons. JW 12:21, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, this is a recreation. See Categories for deletion/Log/2005 June 13 for earlier debate. Radiant_ >|< 12:36, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and replace with a list, if one doesn't already exist. - SimonP 16:12, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. this is ridiculous, a list would do far better. Samdupont 16:48, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, agreed. James F. (talk) 22:10, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. List almost certainly already exists.  -Sean Curtin 22:37, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nominator. And might I suggest moving Category:Simpsons cast members to Category:Simpsons voice actors? --FuriousFreddy 14:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Not all cast members are voice actors, there are other jobs, and I'm sure that all the bio's are cat'd in Category:Voice actors.  ∞ Who ? ¿ ?  01:29, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep I think this is a valuable list. Dantecubed 19:39, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. You can keep it as a list, but as a category it shows up in every article belonging to it. Such is vain. -Hapsiainen 15:16, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Category:Generation Y Wikipedians to Category:Millennial Wikipedians

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus --Kbdank71 13:42, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

The last 'user who does not accept to be described as "Millennial Generation"' (user:Wikinerd) was removed from this category. I was left as the only person in this category, however I was in Millennial Wikipedians too. (Since I couldn't see any difference between the two, I simply added myself to both.) Now I removed myself from this cat, which is now empty and, IMO, useless. Army1987 09:32, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, then. The concept is somewhat silly. Radiant_ >|< 10:26, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete both Arbitary and useless. There are other sites where people can meet others of their own age to socialise. CalJW 11:22, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and there are also sites where people can meet others of their own nation, so Category:Wikipedian by location is useless too, right? There are also sites where people can meet others of their own profession, so Category:Wikipedian by profession is useless too, right? By your grounds the whole User categorisation would be useless. IMO it's useful for a user to identify himself as an adolescent, a young adult, a mature adult or an elder, just as it is useful to identify himself as a Briton, an Italian, a Pakistani or a Pole.--Army1987 13:18, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * What do you think Wikipedia is? An online encyclopedia, or a lonely hearts' club? 12.73.196.15 22:06, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * And they're welcome to do that, but on a list that doesn't create such a server load. siafu 14:48, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Server load? How much server load does such a category create?--Army1987 23:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Apparently a much greater amount than a list. I asked this question and was informed by User:Rick Block that the difference is quite significant. siafu 23:25, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * That link does not work (at least, there does not seem to be a section While_I_was_initially_in_favor in that page). Is it right?--Army1987 08:04, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete silly, and delete along with almost all Wikipedian caetgories. -Splash 12:59, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * These are both slated for deletion as per a previous CFD from Aug 18. --Kbdank71 16:22, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, what the hell is going on here? Are these cats harming anything? The 'Wikipedian' cats are one of the many little incentives that keep good editors invested in the project. Being able to proclaim that "this Wikipedian is a ..." something isn't hurting anything, and removing them is in fact only going to add to the many little annoyances on Wikipedia that cause peope to leave. Func( t, c, @,) 16:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * No offense -- and when I say "you" here, I mean the generic "you", not "Func" -- but if you need "incentives" like vanity pages to stay involved in the project, then I say "good riddance." Nandesuka 17:57, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Both. Violation of "no vanity page" policy (along with all other "Wikipedian" trivia pages).  Also, looks silly as hell, juvenile and egocentric, and thus hurts the (admittedly shaky) reputation of Wikipedia as a responsible source of worthy information. 12.73.195.100 20:07, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Vanity categories are against policy, and Wikipedian vanity categories should be doubly so.  Caesar's wife, and all that. Nandesuka 17:54, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- What's bad about categorizing users? We already have things like Category:User_en; which also serve a social function presumably (Hopefully most users of the English Wikipedia speak English, anyhow, right?). I think until/unless a User category:* namespace comes about, plain categories are a decent way to index users.  And these aren't vanity, per se, any more than the languages are, or the User: pages are - and are harmless, so long as made well-organized -- I don't see user pages themselves appearing on Vfd yet as silly.  I think the rampant deletionism might be getting a just a tad over the top, these days. --Mysidia

 * Delete Definitely. Wikipedia has far too many useless categories. This has no encyclopedic value and is quite esoteric to Wikipedia. -- Dantecubed 19:41, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. There's a category listing users by D&D alignment. Is it really more useful than this one? (This discussion has starded to merge Generation Y Wikipedians into Millennial Wikipedians, and this has been done, but apparently it went on about the deletion of the latter. My vote refer to this.) --Army1987 10:06, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was listify --Kbdank71 13:40, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

This large category groups articles together which don't belong together. So it's useless as navigation aid and misleading as a tool of article categorization. The related list is somewhat more useful, as every item gets a small explanation. Our own article Massacre describes the problems with applying the term. --Pjacobi 08:51, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * Listify sounds good. Radiant_ >|< 10:26, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Placed all in Category:D.H. Lawrence books as he also wrote poems, essays, plays, novellas. MeltBanana 00:03, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Category: British and Irish Lions tours

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus (no change) --Kbdank71 13:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Rename Category: British and Irish Lions as this would allow more articles to be placed in the cat. For example The Power of Four sits in the Category: Irish rugby union cat when there is no direct link between the song and Irish rugby union. I could simply make 'tours' a subcat of my proposed new cat, but I don't think there is any need to do so, I think it unlikely that subcats will be needed.GordyB 11:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

I think it should be renamed and so far only one person has disagreed. That makes it 1-1. If nobody else votes I'm not sure what should happen.GordyB 12:34, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Generally 5 articles is about my lower limit for holding a category separately. I presume this category can be more thoroughly populated by writing the missing articles (or cat'ing them), and will expand in future. Not a vote as such, more thinking out loud. -Splash 12:59, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * There are 5 'tour articles' already and there will certainly be more. There are 2 'non-tour articles', I don't think there will be many more. A tour cat is definitely justifiable, a cat that doesn't include tour articles is probably not. That's why I'd rather have one 'super' category.GordyB 18:51, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but also have a super-category of stuff in general about the Lions. James F. (talk) 22:10, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Basically, the no consensus means there won't be a rename. But you can create Category: British and Irish Lions and put the tours cat in it, and any other non-tour articles.  --Kbdank71 13:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Andrew Leslie, 5th Earl of Rothes

Andrew Leslie, 5th Earl of Rothes (before 1541 – 1611) was a Scottish nobleman.

Early life
He was the son of George Leslie, 4th Earl of Rothes, and his third wife Agnes Somerville, daughter of Sir John Somerville of Cambusnethan and Elizabeth Carmichael.

He succeeded his father as 5th Earl in 1558, as his elder half-brothers Norman Leslie and William Leslie had forfeited their rights by having been implicated in the murder of Cardinal Beaton in 1546.

Career
Leslie took an active part with the Lords of the Congregation, first against the queen-mother, Mary of Guise, when she was regent of Scotland, and afterwards against Mary, Queen of Scots in opposing her marriage with Lord Darnley, and in being part of the plot to murder David Rizzio. He was, however, one of the peers who acquitted Bothwell of Darnley's murder, and went over to the side of the queen. He fought for her at the Battle of Langside, and continued to occupy a position of some prominence in Scottish affairs until his death in 1611.

Personal life
In 1547, Leslie married Grizel Hamilton, daughter of Sir James Hamilton of Finnart and wife Margaret Livingston of Easter Wemyss. A dispensation was required for the marriage, which cost Regent Arran £20 and he paid a dowry of £1,333 Scots. Their children included:

 * James Leslie, Master of Rothes, who married Hon. Margaret Lindsay, only daughter of Patrick Lindsay, 6th Lord Lindsay.
 * Patrick Leslie (d. 1608), who was the 1st Lord Lindores; he married Jean Stewart, a daughter of Robert Stewart, 1st Earl of Orkney (a natural son of King James V of Scotland by Euphemia Elphinstone).
 * Eupheme Leslie, who married James Lindsay, 7th Lord Lindsay, the only son of the 6th Lord Lindsay, in 1573.

As his eldest son and heir apparent died before him, he was succeeded in his titles by James's son, and his grandson, John Leslie.

He wrote [An Inquiry into Basic Rights] for his Master of Arts degree in 1993; it shows how from only libertarian premises a modern welfare state could be justified in an elastic theory of human rights.  The thesis  remains descriptive of how rights actually develop evolve (and sometime devolve) in advanced industrial states.  The theory can be used to explain and predict how rights claims will fare.  It delineates how and why rights are obligations we owe to others and others owe to us, explaining why rights are not  merely "wishes."

Merrill Unger

Merrill Frederick Unger (1909–1980) was an American Bible commentator, scholar, archaeologist, and theologian. He earned his A.B. and Ph.D. degrees at Johns Hopkins University, and his Th.M and Th.D degrees at Dallas Theological Seminary. He was a prolific writer who authored some 40 books. Unger was also a well known Biblical archaeologist and encyclopedist. Early in his career he was identified as a Baptist, but later was credentialed by the Independent Fundamentalist Churches of America (IFCA).

Education
For a time, he attended Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, before transferring to the Evangelical Theological College, later Dallas Seminary. At Dallas he was a protege of Lewis Sperry Chafer, bible teacher and founding president of the Seminary. Unger's Th.M. thesis was published as The Baptizing Work of the Holy Spirit (1953), and his Th.D. dissertation was published as Biblical Demonology (1952). The evangelist Billy Graham considered this work an authority on the subject.

He later received a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins under the Near Eastern historian and archaeologist, William F. Albright. Unger's Johns Hopkins dissertation was published as Israel and the Arameans of Damascus (1957).

Professional life
After serving as a pastor at several churches (e.g. Buffalo, New York), Unger taught for a year at Gordon College. For the next 19 years (1948–1967) Unger was professor of Old Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary after which time he became professor emeritus.

In retirement Dr. Unger led Bible conferences and wrote on Old Testament, theological and practical topics. He became again interested in demonology and a Christian response to the occult and Bishop James Pike, publishing Demonology in the World Today (1971).

Personal life
After retiring from Dallas Seminary due to health concerns and the loss of his first wife, Unger returned to his native Maryland where he and his second wife, Pearl, bought "Birdhaven," an arboretum estate on the Magothy River near Severna Park in Anne Arundel County. He was survived by two adopted children, a son, Clark, and a daughter, Shelley.

Jan Parandowski

Jan Parandowski (11 May 1895 – 26 September 1978) was a Polish writer, essayist, and translator. Best known for his works relating to classical antiquity, he was also the president of the Polish PEN Club between 1933 and 1978, with a break during World War II. He was born in Lwów, (then Austria-Hungary, now Ukraine) and died in Warsaw.

Biography
Jan Parandowski graduated from Jan Długosz High School, in Lemberg, Austria-Hungary (now Lviv, Ukraine). In 1913 he began his studies at the University of Lemberg, in the philosophy department. There he studied philosophy, classical philology, archeology, art history, and Polish literature. His studies were interrupted by World War I, during which he was interned in Russia, and consequently taught at schools in Voronezh and Saratov. From 1920 he continued his studies, and in 1923 received his master's degree in classical philology and archeology.

From 1922 to 1924 he was the literary chief for publisher Alfred Altenberg, for whom he organized a series of translations of classical works and a further "great writers" series. During this time, he was an oft correspondent for a number of Polish newspapers and magazines, including the Morning Gazette, the Illustrated Weekly, the Literary News, and the weekly, Rainbow. Between 1924 and 1926 he travelled to Greece, France, and Italy. From 1929 he lived in Warsaw, where at first he was an editor for the monthly, Warsaw Diary. In 1930 he became a member of the Polish PEN Club, and in 1933, its president.

At the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, he received a bronze medal for his book, The Olympic Discus, and in 1937 he received the Polish Literary Academy's "Gold Laurels" for outstanding literary achievement. Between 1937 and 1938 he was an editor for the state publishing house for school books, and produced the educational series, Great People. After World War II began, he participated in the cultural underground. The flames of the Warsaw uprising consumed his literary archives and his entire unpublished works.

During the years 1945 – 1950 he took over the Department of Classical Antiquity, then the Department of Comparative Literature at the Catholic University of Lublin (KUL). He became a regular member of Warszawskie Towarzystwo Naukowe (loosely translated, Warsaw Association of Sciences), worked with publications such as the Universal Weekly, Meander, Creation, and renewed his activities as chairman of the Polish PEN Club. In 1948 he organized a World Congress of Intellectuals in Wrocław, after which he returned to live in Warsaw.

In 1958, Jan Parandowski organized an International Translators Convention in Warsaw, and in 1962 he became the vice-president of International PEN. In 1964 he received the Polish State Award of the First Degree, and in the same year he was a signatory to the Letter of 34 scholars and writers in defense of freedom of speech. In 1975 he was honoured for his lifetime achievement by Radio Free Europe. In 1976 he received an honorary doctorate in Christian Philosophy from the Catholic University of Lublin (KUL).

In 1988 a prize was founded in his honour, the Jan Parandowski prize, and is awarded annually by the Polish PEN Club to exemplary historical writers.

His granddaughter is the actress Joanna Szczepkowska.

Works
As a literary figure, Parandowski began writing in Lwow in 1913, though he came to experience international prominence after his much cited Mythology in 1924. His knowledge, crisp and engaging writing style, and ability to tackle the most controversial subjects contributed greatly to Parandowski's popularity. In Poland his works have become a staple of classical study in schools of all levels.

Talk:Benzaldehyde

Primary component of almond oil?
This seems strange to me, as I expect oils to be primarily aliphatic chains.

Does anyone has a source for this fact? J1812 (talk) 05:56, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Triglycerides are the principal components of most fixed/fatty/non-volatile plant and animal oils. Cooking oils (including the "almond oil" that you might buy under that name in the baking ingredients section of a grocery store) is the fixed oil of sweet almonds.

 * Benzaldehyde is the principal component of the essential/volatile oil of bitter almonds. This essential oil can be obtained (per Duplais) by first crushing and pressing the (bitter) almonds to remove the fixed oil, macerating the resulting "almond cake" (i.e., the pomace that would be the waste product if what you were after was the fixed oil) in water for 24 hours (to allow the breakdown of amygdalin, a compound that is essentially glucose + benzaldehyde + hydrogen cyanide), steam distilling the "thin broth" that results, and then further processing it in order to remove the aforementioned cyanide.
 * Nota bene: This is a conceptual explanation, not a detailed instruction manual; don't try this (or pretty much anything else involving bitter almonds) at home without significant further research, into both safety procedures and your local laws.

Use in drugs
Benzaldehyde is listed as a precursor by the DEA for the manufacture of amphetamines and phenyl-2-propanone.

Aldehyde substituent? - is there such a thing

pKa value completely wrong.
Wikipedia has a really big issue with pKa values. The pKa of benzaldehyde is about 45 (not 14.90 like you have written on this page without any reference), and that is for a hydrogen on the benzene-ring. You cannot deprotonate the aldehyde-group by any known method.84.210.54.80 (talk) 16:04, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅. Thanks for noticing. Wikipedia is a collaborative projects and lots of stuff gets messed up.--Smokefoot (talk) 17:50, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, the CRC Handbook gives a pKa value of 14.90 for benzaldehyde. I cannot figure out what this pKa is supposed to mean, so I did not re-add it to the article, but it might not be complete rubbish after all. Yongrenjie (talk) 18:31, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Going by an answer I found on chemistry stackexchange (https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/a/107626), this would appear to be a net equilibrium constant for the combination, in aqueous solution, of formation of a geminal diol and deprotonation of one of the two resulting hydroxyl groups. 2603:7081:7E3E:DB14:1161:20E9:E099:D449 (talk) 22:51, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Givaudan

Givaudan is a Swiss multinational manufacturer of flavours, fragrances and active cosmetic ingredients. As of 2008, it was the world's largest company in the flavour and fragrance industries.

Overview
The company's scents and flavours are developed for food and beverage makers, and also used in household goods, as well as grooming and personal care products and perfumes.

The company has two business areas:

 * Taste & Wellbeing offers flavours, taste, functional and nutritional solutions for the food industry (savoury, dairy, sweets and beverages).

 * Fragrance & Beauty creates fragrances and develop beauty and wellbeing solutions for personal care, fabric care, hygiene, home care, fine fragrances, and beauty.

Givaudan's flavours and fragrances are usually custom-made and sold under confidentiality agreements. Givaudan uses ScentTrek, a technology that captures the chemical makeup of smell from living plants. The company has locations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific. In 2023, Givaudan had sales of CHF 6.9 billion. It is one of Switzerland's 30 biggest listed companies in terms of market capitalization. In 2021, Givaudan placed first on FoodTalks' Global Top 50 Food Flavours and Fragrances Companies list.

In 2024, The Swiss group has announced a partnership with e-retailer TMall to support growing local demand for fragrance products.

The company’s purpose of ‘Creating for happier, healthier lives with love for nature. Let’s imagine together’ is focused in four domains: creations, nature, people and communities. The company's ambitions include doubling its business through creations that contribute to happier, healthier lives by 2030, becoming climate positive before 2050, becoming a leading employer for inclusion before 2025 and sourcing all materials and services in a way that protects the environment and people by 2030. Givaudan’s purpose goal areas are in line with its strategy and ambitions for 2025.

Givaudan is a member of the European Flavour Association. Major competitors include Firmenich, International Flavors and Fragrances and Symrise.

History
From its historic roots in Grasse in 1768 to the acquisition of Custom Essence in 2021, Givaudan has pursued a historic policy of invention and acquisition, of creativity, passion and innovation, enriching the world of scents and taste. The company was founded as a perfumery company in 1895 in Lyon, France by Leon and Xavier Givaudan. In 1898, Givaudan moved to Geneva, Switzerland and constructed a factory in Vernier. In 1946, Givaudan opened a perfumery school, which trained a third of the world's creative perfumers. In 1948 the company acquired Ersolko SA, which transitioned Givaudan also into the flavor industry. In 1963, Givaudan was acquired by Roche and in 1964, Roche acquired one of Givaudan's competitors, Roure. Roure was founded in Grasse, France during 1820. In 1937 Roure created the first designer perfume: Shocking for Schiaparelli. Givaudan's original United States fragrance headquarters, in Teaneck, New Jersey, was built in 1972 from a design by Der Scutt, architect of the Trump Tower. The company later moved to East Hanover, New Jersey.

Givaudan-Roure
In 1991 Givaudan and Roure were merged to form Givaudan-Roure. Also in 1991, the company bought Fritzsche, Dodge and Olcott. In 1997 Givaudan-Roure acquired another flavor company, Tastemaker, based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The merger made Givaudan the largest flavor company in the world. In 2000 Givaudan-Roure was spun off by Roche as Givaudan and listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange (Code GIVN.VX) where it is part of the SMI, SLI and SPI.

2000s
In 2002 Givaudan acquired FIS, the flavors division of Nestle, for which Nestle received a 10% stake in the company. The following year, Givaudan purchased the cheese flavor company IBF. In 2004 the company expanded its operations in China, which had been in place since the 1990s.

On 22 November 2006, Givaudan announced the acquisition of Quest International to be completed Q1 2007. On 21 February 2007, the EU approved the merger of Givaudan and Quest, clearing the final regulatory hurdle for the merger after the United States authorities approved the merger earlier in the month. The merger deal closed on 2 March 2007. The acquisition makes Givaudan the global leader in both fine fragrances and consumer products; it was already the global leader in flavors and the acquisition of Quest International strengthens their position. The acquisition of Quest boosted Givaudan's sales by 42% from CHF 2,909 million in 2006 to CHF 4,132 million in 2007.

In 2013 Nestle sold its share in Givaudan for $1.3 billion. By 2014 the company had about US$4.6 billion in revenues. That year, the company had its first acquisition since Quest, purchasing Soliance. Givaudan also released the TasteSolutions Richness line of flavors. It also launched the Givaudan Foundation, and has a programme that works with patchouli and other grower collection networks to establish sustainable development practices, called the Innovative Naturals programme.

Since 2014, Givaudan had acquired around 20 companies, among them Naturex, the cosmetics business of AMSilk, Albert Vieille, Fragrance Oils, and Golden Frog.

In 2022, Givaudan, the mechanical engineering company Bühler, and Migros wanted to open the Cultured Food Innovation Hub in Kemptthal. Research was also to be carried out there on cultivated meat.

On March 7, 2023, Givaudan confirmed that it was the target of an industry-wide investigation by European and Swiss authorities. Investigators were looking into a possible cartel in the supply of fragrances and fragrance ingredients. Companies face fines as much as 10% of their global turnover for violating EU antitrust rules.

Givaudan and the environment
On July 10, 1976, the Seveso accident, Italy's worst ecological disaster, released a toxic cloud into the atmosphere. Italy's highest court awarded moral damages to the residents for anxiety incurred. Givaudan, the parent company of ICMESA paid EUR103.9 million (US$90.3 million) in cleanup costs and compensation to those who suffered physical injuries as a result of the incident.

You recently reverted a correction that I made to John Leslie, 1st Duke of Rothes. You could have the correct answer, but could you please back it up with a reference? Working on the list in Earl of Crawford, there does not appear to be a John Lindsay, 10th Earl of Crawford. The 10th Earl of Crawford is David Lindsay, 10th Earl of Crawford. There is a John Leslie as the John Lindsay, 17th Earl of Crawford, 1st Earl of Lindsay, as well as the 19th and 20th Earl of Crawford. If your change is correct, then the Earl of Crawford page also needs to get updated because it is wrong. Otherwise, I move to keep the number at 17 where I had it which is most likely to be correct because of the timeframe. JRP 00:19, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The man in question was the son of Alexander Lindsay. His mother was Jean Sinclair, she was the daughter of Henry Sinclair 3 Lord Sinclair. These people in question are my kin, i know the history well. The Royal genealogy is linked to these people. I have a lot more information, but it will be copyrighted. I wrote the first story on the first Duke of Rothes. Under the number 226. I also wrote the item on Joan Chaworth.
 * I certainly believe you, but the existing Wikipedia page is pretty clear that there isn't a 10th Earl of Crawford named John Lindsay. I just want the right information in the article. Can you provide a resource that says definitively one way or the other. The Earl of Crawford page doesn't have a good reference either so I have no idea how trustworthy that list is. JRP 01:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I will give at least 3 references for my statement. Give me a day or two. Many members of the nobility were very related to each other. On the 5th Earl of Rothes, his step-brothers were involed in the murder of Cardinal Beaton. But cardinal Beaton was also their kin. On Sir James Ormond, he was the brother of John Ormond esq. of Alfreton. The name was spelled Ormond. This is the spelling on the brass to him in Alfreton church. But at times, it was in later years spelled Ormand.
 * You may return the title 17 Earl of Crawford, because a mistake was made by a National Trust site and a painting of the family was listed wrong. This should have been found earlier, being there were tours of the castle with this mistake repeated. Most likely this was caused by the names being the same. This is one that slipped by me and them.
 * That's excellent. I'm sorry for being persistent, I just like lists and when they are consistent. While you are at it, can you check out James Ormonde and help clarify Piers Butler, 1st Earl of Ormonde or Piers Butler, 7th Earl of Ormonde? According to the list (which again, I can't verify) Earl of Ormonde, Piers Butler was the 1st Earl of the third creation, because of some maddness with Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Ormonde. You changed it to 7th which the list claims to be Thomas Butler. Should I change this back also? JRP 01:12, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Thomas was the brother of John 6th Earl of Ormonde, Thomas was the 7th Earl of Ormonde. Thomas nearly always signed his name as Thomas Ormond. That made Piers 8th Earl of Ormonde. John 6th Earl died in the Holy Land, he had earlier met with the Pope in Rome. Thomas had given Sir James Ormond, power of attorney over his estates in Ireland. Thomas Boleyn or Bullin, was kin to Joan Chaworth. The Duke of Somerset met his fate with Thomas Boleyn on the chopping block. Lady Anne Stahope was the wife of the Duke of Somerset. This can be seen on her tomb which shows the different coats of arms of the allied families. Her Great-grandson Philip was created Earl of Chesterfield.
 * Got it. Can you update Earl of Ormonde with that information since that must be wrong. I'll make the note that Piers was 8th Earl... (You changed the link to 7th, I think.) Also, when you start a line with spaces, it makes the comments really hard to read. Try starting them with ":" to do nesting, instead. :) JRP

Sir John Byron
With all due repect the article on Sir John Byron, largely written by yourself, appears to have significant inaccuracy. The Sir John Byron to whom I believe you refer died in 1576, and it was his grandson, also called Sir John Byron, that sired the Margaret who went on to marry Thomas Hutchinson (MP); it was this latter John Byron's grandson (not son), who went on to become John Byron, 1st Baron Byron, as named in the article.

I have not edited the article, since I would first be interested to know what sources you were using; mine were the book 'Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchison' by Lucy Hutchinson, and a website on the history of Nottinghamshire

Matisia 20:01, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes this is the Sir John Byron, of Clayton. Who was knighted, by Elizabeth I of England in 1579. His wife was Alice Strelleye. I forgot to create an article on his father. He was also named, Sir John Byron. I have paintings of all of them. These paintings will be posted later. Also more will be added, to each article. Most of the birth dates, i list are from the tombs and other sources. Some of my sources, are my family history, and several books i have on the English Civil Wars.

 * Thanks; I look forward to seeing the article on the father!

Citing sources
Thanks for your work on articles about English nobility. I assume that the information which you added is coming from solid sources, but you should name them so that other users can verify the information and readers can get reliable information from your articles. This is a basic Wikipedia policy, you can read about it here or here. See Citing sources if you are unsure about the format of the citations. And please, when other users correct typos or add appropriate categories to an article, don't revert them to insert the errors again. Regards, High on a tree 14:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

David Omand
Hi. Some nice work, but please check your information in fields with which you are less familiar :-) Sir David Omand really does spell his name that way: http://www.windsorleadershiptrust.org.uk/en/1/domand.html Myopic Bookworm 14:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing the unsigned comment on my page is from you. I gave you one reference above. On the Home Office Site Ormand gets no matches, Omand gets two. On the Downing Street website Ormand gets no matches, Omand gets eight. Here is the notice of his  security appointment, and here is the announcement of his appointment to the Natural History museum. In the 2002 edition of Who's Who he is listed as OMAND, Sir David (Bruce), in between Julia OMAN and Margaret O'MARA. I think that's enough evidence. Myopic Bookworm 10:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * PS To sign and date a comment, put four tildes (~ x4). It's nicer that way. Myopic Bookworm 10:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

To anyone reading this, here is my case. http://cryptome.sabotage.org/da-notice.htm#committee  His name here, is Sir David Bruce Ormand. The site speaks for itself.
 * The site you mention does indeed speak for itself. It is not an "official" British site, it is an amateur website for intelligence and security enthusiasts. Clearly they cannot spell accurately. Checking means finding further reliable verification of your information, not just believing the first website you stumble across. The original government site from which they copied their information several years ago has now been updated, so the information is no longer there to be verified. I have given links to current, not outdated sites, and to official, not to amateur sites: also to a respected print publication (Who's Who). Have you actually looked at any of them? Here is Sir David Omand's current web page at the Natural History museum. Myopic Bookworm 09:32, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

That,s nice but i have just as many sites with the Ormand spelling. Also the point, is why were there so many sites with different spellings of the name. I did not stumble across this information, as you inplied. As i said, it was on several different sites. I even checked it on the Home Office site, in the year 2000. It was spelled Ormand there as well. This was an offical site at that time.
 * The reason why so many sites have the wrong spelling is that Omand is a relatively unusual name. All it takes is one person to assume that it must be a mistake for Ormand, and then lots of other people will copy the information without checking. Wikipedia aims to be better than that: hence the constant requests for citations and references. Sheer number of websites is no guide if they are all lifting information from each other, which is why it is worth checking current websites, ignoring the ones which look a bit crappy, and try to find printed sources as well. No one can verify what you say about what the Home Office website said seven years ago. I once did a survey and found several thousand websites which referred to a well known southern English town as Southapton, and I can guarantee you'll find loads of information about someone called "Ghandi". Myopic Bookworm 13:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I found them on my other hardrive, here are a few http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/politics/626455.stm also the the UK Gov. site http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/foi/pdf/chequers0106.pdf and many others. I think they need a few proof readers. Many are offical sites of the UK Goverment.

A tag has been placed on Ormand Cup, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

This article about an award does not assert the notability or importance of the subject.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Realkyhick 08:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I did indeed read the whole article that you wrote, which did not take very long as it is short and repetitive. The award you have written about is for a local boating club, and a Google search returned a whopping five results. The award does not pass [WP:NOTE|Wikipedia notability standards]] by any means, and should be deleted. Realkyhick 15:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Drumtar
Hello. Thank you for your input on the drumtar deletion discussion. Non-notability is a criterion for deletion of articles, and without sources documenting this instrument, we can only conclude that it is non-notable. You believe the article should be kept. Can you find any sources (magazine articles, reputable websites, books, etc.) about this instrument that show that it is notable? Nick Graves 09:53, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Hornes
Hi Randall,

Regarding my removal of the image and the link from the article for the Prince Maximilian, there are a few issues. One, the picture has no caption and is seemingly just a stamp or something, which doesn't particularly deserve such prominence for an article about a person and two, the link is in the German language and has no summary, etc, whatsoever. For instance, if the article on The Breakers were to have a link and an image, with no caption, of the Atlantic Ocean (which is behind it but only very slightly pertinent to the article), then I would remove them both. Perhaps if that website contains information on the prince a direct link to a page would work with a note that it is in the German language. There is little reason for the image though.

Naming guidelines
Concerning Wild Flavors, Inc., I changed the name from WILD Flavors, Inc. because of the policy found in the manual of style concerning trademarks found here.

The exact rule regarding the change is :

"Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official":

* avoid: REALTOR®, TIME, KISS * instead, use: Realtor, Time, Kiss"

Please do not change the spelling back.

 * Well if you'd explained that in the first place rather than invoking the irrelevant WP:COMMONNAME (which doesn't quote the above at all) it would have made more sense. Wjousts (talk) 12:46, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

You're right it does not, however the common name policy does state this in the very first line: "Articles are normally titled using the name which is most commonly used to refer to the subject of the article in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article."

That means we use the proper name and not the marketing name. I added the link to the second policy, which is referenced in the common name policy, to clarify what exactly I meant. I am sorry if I did not make myself clear when I linked to the policy, I will try to do so in the future. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 02:22, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
