Talk:Raphael (Soulcalibur)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Dragons flight 19:47, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Copyright Infringement?
The first paragraph of Raphael's biography is a word by word extraction from the game. I don't know if it would qualify as a copyright infringement, but it seems to me that with what I know about copyrights, there was no permission obtained. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. Crisco 1492 16:47, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Someone should at least put quotes around it and attribute it to the game I think. 140.232.146.190 01:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Character Analysis?
Would it be possible to add a Character Analysis section here, like is present on pages of other Soul Calibur characters? I'd add it myself, but I have 0 tournament experience.
 * I second that. Malomeat 04:13, 26 February 2006 (UTC)Malomeat
 * Some character analysis was added - however, it came from 194.72.50.162, a site with a known vandal. Simesa 14:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Trivia?
What happened to the trivia section of him? -Mythmonster2

It was merged with the article. See Trivia. Leemorrison 11:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Vampire?????
Who put Raphael in the fictional vampires section? I think that's based on personal research so I'm removing him from there. Mythmonster2 23:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ive just gotten rid of the 'Fictional Vampire' tab too... Ill see whos doing this and check it out Jamesbuc —Preceding comment was added at 07:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * People are probably confused by the passage "The symptoms even spread to Amy, possibly infected while she was treating his wounds. Their minds were intact, but they suffered physical symptoms. Their skin turned pale and their eyes shone red. They felt weak and sluggish by day, and a powerful thirst by night. Not long before, the neighboring people learned of their strange behavior." Vampires are supposed to be weak during the day (or killed by sunlight) and drink peoples' blood at night.  The wording of that paragraph is extremely suggestive that Soul Edge turned Raphael into a vampire. (PS, I'd guess this counts as original research, but he's called a vampire on kotaku.com) 75.157.91.151 (talk) 04:26, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

If you were to see him in prison would you think he was a vampire? Perhaps if he is not he thinks he is. Smurai  Cerberus  17:32, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes if I was to see him in person I'd think he was a vampire! Look at how he's dressed!75.157.109.75 (talk) 01:20, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

BTW, his Critical Finisher makes it kind of obvious he's a vampire. 75.157.112.12 (talk) 10:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree. the critical finish as well as his B+K move (Plus an A+G or a B+G grab) make him seem to bite a person (Only if female, he the responds with "sweet nectar!", if the person is a male he appears to stab them with a dagger or somthing of the like) 69.254.108.68 (talk) 17:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

SC4 picture!
Hey guys, I got a picture of Raphael from SC4! However, I don't know if I can post it here, cause I just read the uploading rules and its froma website and probably copyrighted. To get it, just google "raphael in soul calibur 4" and its the first result. Also in there are pictures of Hilde and Astaroth. Mythmonster2 00:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I have a picture of Raphael from SCIV as well. I don't think it's breaking copyright by putting it on. I'll just give credits to IGN.
 * If there are copyright problems, I'll just revert back to what it was. BTW, how is this part of WikiProject France? --Cloak' 14:12, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Gameplay
Okay, this is pretty much just like the old character analysis section from before. I'm removing these for the same reason people from before deleted the character analysis section. If you want to find out why, check out Taki's and Kilik's talk pages. If people want a strategy guide, they should go to fansites. Mythmonster2 (talk) 06:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

telepathine
hi Forteanajones, I am of the opinion that the telepathine and harmala entries should be merged. when white people came across ayahuasca, they found the active chemical to be telepathine, but then realized it wasn't a new chemical and already had a name (harmala). because of this, the info on the telepathine page should be merged with harmala- it doesn't need its own article or contain enough info to warrant one. (but that info should definitely go up on the harmala page.) i'll do it sometime later, just figured i'd give you a heads up first. thanks! --Heah 14:20, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Saturn V move
I have reverted your move of the contents of Saturn V to Saturn V (rocket). This is because Wikipedia policy at Disambiguation states that if there is little risk of confusion, then there is no need for disambiguation. Also when you move pages you should use the the 'move' option at the top of the page which retains the history of the page. Copying and pasting loses all this information which must be kept under the GFDL. Evil Monkey∴Hello 07:12, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

Forteana-stub
Hi - I note you've recently created a new stub category. Normally, stub categories should normally be cleared by WikiProject Stub sorting before creation. That way they can be vetted to check that there are a viable number of stubs (at least 60-100) and that the category does not cross the existing stub hierarchy before the stub is created.

If you can provide any information on why the stub was created, please add a note to entry for the stub at WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria giving the reason for it. In addition, if there is any Wikiproject associated with the stub add that information. Thanks.

In the case of this stub, I must say that I doubt there's any need for it. Fortean phenomena are already covered by para-stub, and that is only sparsely populated.

Oh, and if you're interested in helping sort stubs, we're always looking for new members of the project! Grutness...  wha?  01:27, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Grutness. While I disagree with your last statement about Fortean & Paranormal stub cats (in my view these cats and stub-cats have a fundamental flaw), I am very sorry for the unintentional breach of etiquette and it won't happen again.  I may have time to help with the stub sorting project some time in the future, will let you know.    — FJ |  hello  02:14, May 10, 2005 (UTC)

hey fj

i just checked out the metacine website today, it looks very interesting. i'd love to become involved and help out- contributing, working on any "overlaps", whatever. can you send me more info on the project, how i can help, and what it needs? i'm in peru at the moment so i can't do much, but i will be back in new york in a few days.

thanks! --Heah (talk) 16:26, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Hey Heah! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. You may want to check out Daniel Pinchbeck's forums for a taste of some of what is going into Metacine.  And of course, the info at the Metacine.net site might be generally informative.  Daniel is currently at Burning Man and they're doing some filming for a Metacine DVD project.  The web project is still not quite ready for a wiki yet, despite my enthusiasm for the idea, so stay tuned for more info!     — FJ |  hello  01:37, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Rosicrucian article
Dear user Forteanajones, as I have seen a edition of yours at the article Rosicrucian, I come to request your support to this article that I have just purposed for nomination at Featured_article_candidates. May you may give a look into it? And, if you consider it acceptable, then may you support it? Thank you! :) --GalaazV 02:49, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Creature.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Creature.jpg. I notice 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 argue that 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 as fair use, 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 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. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. deeptrivia (talk) 14:07, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Independent advocacy

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Delete. Redwolf24 03:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Independent advocacy
The page appears to be original research. Additionally, it offers advice and makes POV suggestions. Chairboy 22:25, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Chairboy 22:26, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

This is interesting. What's your definition of independent research? This is based on well established work, which thousands of people around the world are engaged in, and it most of it is written in a style typical of the field. There has been a request for an article on this subject (see the advocacy discussion page), and I am employed as an expert. The last two sections are slightly speculative, but I have informed the independent advocacy community about my post and it would be good if the experts could make these sorts of decisions and tidy the article up.

 * Therefore I have to say Keep Visctrix 22:39, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: The valid criticism would be of original research not "Independent Research". I think that "Independent advocacy" is a Scottish term and not the term used to describe the same thing in other English speaking parts of the world. Hyacinth 23:20, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I have published original research under this definition in an advocacy magazine published in London as well as other places. This article is not original research.  Most of it is copied directly from published information that has been produced out of a consensus of the eight advocacy projects I support.  These include branches of national organisations including Mencap, Barnardo's and Age Concern.  I am also a committee member of the (English) National Advocacy Network and I know this article fits closely with common practice across England and Wales as well as Scotland.  They also have this sort of advocacy in Scotland, where it became a statutory requirement for each local authority to commission independent advocacy schemes in 2001 - hence the references published by the Scottish Executive in the same year. This is despite the potential confusion with, and in addition to, the Scottish solicitor-advocates you find in every town. Visctrix 23:51, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment does the statement above that Most of it is copied directly from published information make this a copyvio? In other words, was the "published information" available under GFDL? Tonywalton [[Image:Pentacle_1.svg|15px]] | Talk 00:32, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Does the fact that my organisation published the information save me from this, or does it place me back in the error of original research? Visctrix 00:43, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Nothing to do with OR. Copyright violation (copyvio) depends upon the criteria under which the informaton was published. If your organisation claims copyright (and this is independent even of whether you put the information there in the first place - even if you did so personally you did so under the copyright of that organisation) and you have copied that information elsewhere you are in breach of that copyright, unless the copyright holder has specifically authorised such release . I would advise you to see and be aware that anything on Wikipedia is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, so effectively if you put anything on WP you are stating that the copyright holder is willing to license the material freely. For what it's worth I'd vote 'keep' for your article, though with some NPOV cleanup, but if it's violating someone's copyright it has to go. Tonywalton [[Image:Pentacle_1.svg|15px]] | Talk 00:58, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * If you are the original author, or one of the original authors, copying from your own publication with authority to release this under the GFDL, it is not a copyvio. It would help to cite the sources where this work and similer work was published in the article, see Cite Sources and Inline Citation. If the info was originally published in reputable primary publications it is not original research in the wikipedia sense. Such a citation would help significantly, IMO. No Vote pending provision of citations. DES (talk) 01:03, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but I'm concerned that the author stated "my organisation published...", which might well make it not his own publication Tonywalton [[Image:Pentacle_1.svg|15px]] | Talk
 * On re-reading, he also states "I have published...in an advocacy magazine". Again, if any of the material in the WP article was copied from there, is this breaching the copyright of that magazine? Tonywalton [[Image:Pentacle_1.svg|15px]] | Talk
 * All of which is why I said If he is "copying from your own publication with authority to release this..." then it was ok, as to a magazine it denpends what their deal is, but most only buy "1st serial" rights from authors, the author retains the copyright and the right to publishe elsewhere, possibly after a stated delay. We need more info from the submitter here. DES (talk) 03:20, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * My main concern, and the concern of my employers, is that I support independent advocacy, which includes making our work accessible for people to use. Hence this contribution to Wikipedia.  There are no copywrite issues with any of the material here, and certainly not if the article is left online as it's free distribution will be guaranteed. Visctrix 21:35, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * VfD issues aside, copyright is a bit more complicated than that. The original owner of the text must release it to the open license, and you realize that it will not stay intact, right?  The text will be edited by others, extensively.  This does not change the fact that this article appears to be non-encyclopedic and would require an extreme rewrite. - Chairboy 22:04, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Since there appears to be little clarity about the copyright status of this, and per Chairboy (and come to that, myself) this needs POV editing that doesn't seem to be forthcoming from the author, I vote Delete. Visctrix, it might be good if you could sort out:
 * The potential copyright issues (and "we're putting it on here so a lot of people will see it and it can be redistributed" is not enough, as Chairboy says)
 * The POV aspects of the article - that's "Point Of View" - articles on here should be NPOV; "Neutral Point of View", not, to coin a phrase, advocating a POV. Your statement that "I support independent advocacy" above says that your article is placed in a spirit of advocating a POV (once again, pun unintended). Wikipedia specifically prohibits such advocacy.  Tonywalton [[Image:Pentacle_1.svg|15px]] | Talk 21:56, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm doing my best, and I've just deleted the final section before the references which I admit was somewhat speculative. I have asked members of the advocacy community to contribute to this debate and to the article, but clearly this hasn't happened yet.
 * I'm a bit confused as to what you think is POV in the article. There was one place in the deleted section that said 'in my experience' but that is all I can see.  I'm left wondering if you think that the initial sections, which are carefully written to be understandable by people with little literacy and are therefore in the second person, count as POV.  Can you give me any more specific pointers?
 * I've read Copyrights and I can't see anything on that page, nor am I aware of any other reason, why any of the text of the article may constitute a copyright infringement.
 * This subject is very topical in the UK. Two major pieces of legislation have just been passed that will extend the importance of advocates (see Talk:Independent advocacy) and I have provided links to three national advocacy organisations and networks as well as to publications of the Scottish Executive.  I can provide more links later on in the week.  Historically there have been advocacy organisations working in the UK for 20 years, and in the US and Germany even further back.  The UK Government seems to have problems with the lack of clarity surrounding advocacy work in a similar way to the people calling for this page to be deleted - but the thousands of people who benefit each year from working with advocates have no such qualms.  I am very surprised and disappointed, as a new contributor to Wikipedia, that my work, in good faith, on a subject of such significance, could simply be deleted after 5 days.  I'm certainly happy to continue working on this article, and others, but I need more time for this, and I think there are issues that need more debate.  Visctrix 23:21, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Charles François de Mondion

Charles François de Mondion (6 October 1681 – 25 December 1733) was a French architect and military engineer who was active in Hospitaller Malta in the early 18th century. He was also a member of the Order of Saint John.

Career
Mondion was born in Paris, and he studied military engineering under Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban. He first arrived in Malta in 1715 during the magistracy of Grand Master Ramon Perellos y Roccaful of the Order of St. John. His early work was as deputy to the military engineer René Jacob de Tigné. One of his early works was the second Marsalforn Tower, which however no longer exists.

Mondion was eventually admitted into the Order of St. John as a Cavaliere di Grazia, and he obtained permanent residency in Malta.

Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena's accession in June 1722 created a significant opportunity for Mondion, as the new Prince of Malta decided to unleash an ambitious building programme. On 3 November 1722, Vilhena issued orders for the restoration of the former capital Mdina and its fortifications, and entrusted de Mondion with this renovation. Mondion designed a number of Baroque buildings in the city, including the Main Gate, the portal of Greeks Gate, the Torre dello Standardo, Palazzo Vilhena, the Banca Giuratale and the Corte Capitanale.

Mondion was also involved in the construction or modifications of the Floriana Lines, Fort Manoel, the fortifications of Birgu and the Santa Margherita Lines. He designed several gates within these fortifications, including Porte des Bombes and St. Helen's Gate.

His unexpected death in 1733 cut short a promising career. Mondion was buried in the crypt of the Chapel of St Anthony of Padua within Fort Manoel.

Moravian Pottery and Tile Works

The Moravian Pottery & Tile Works (MPTW) is a history museum which is located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. It is owned by the County of Bucks, and operated by TileWorks of Bucks County, a 501c3 non-profit organization.

The museum was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and was later included in a National Historic Landmark District along with the Mercer Museum and Fonthill. These three structures are the only cast-in-place concrete structures built by Mercer.

History and museum features
Handmade tiles are still produced in a manner similar to that developed by the pottery's founder and builder, Henry Chapman Mercer. Tile designs are reissues of original designs. Mercer was a major proponent of the Arts and Crafts movement in America. He directed the work at the pottery from 1898 until his death in 1930.

Mercer generally did not affix a potter's mark to tiles made while he directed the work at MPTW. Following his death, there were several marks used to indicate that a tile had originated at MPTW.

When the Bucks County Department of Parks and Recreation took over the MPTW as a working museum, all tiles made by the museum were impressed on the obverse with a stylized "MOR," the words "Bucks County" and the year of manufacture.

The reproduction tiles made today are made using Mercer's original molds, clay that is obtained locally and has properties similar to those of Mercer's original source, slips and glazes that follow Mercer's final formulations, although some have been modified to reduce the lead and heavy metal content to less toxic levels.

The Tile Works is one of three cast-in-place concrete structures built by Mercer. The others include Fonthill, which is located on the same property and served as his home; and the Mercer Museum, located approximately one mile away.

The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works offers workshops and an apprenticeship program to teach the art of handcrafting ceramic tiles and mosaics.

Talk:Brian Flemming/Archive 1

Flemming v Centuri0n
For the second time, I have reverted some recent changes made to this article. I have done this for three reasons:

 * 1) The edit contains un-encyclopedic language.
 * 2) The interaction of Flemming with one particular person is insufficiently interesting to merit inclusion in the article.
 * 3) The editor is to some extent writing about himself, which is contrary to this guideline.

—Laurence Boyce 19:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Boyce --

First of all, I apologize for being a n00b wiki contributor. There is no doubt that writing about one's self is against wiki policy, and as that would be valid reasoning to remove the edits, I do not contest removing the content if it is in violation of that standard.

However, I contest that the content was about me. It included my name -- no question there. It also included links to my blog -- no question there, either. However, the content was about Brian's only written interaction with another person on the subject of his "War on Easter", and as such deserves attention because his "War on Easter" is probably his most widely-advertised effort to date.

This is my original language for the edit:

'Subsequent to that advertising campaign, Flemming interacted on-line for a series of 5 questions with a Christian blogger known as centuri0n (a.k.a. Frank Turk) at a site called DebateBlog''. Flemming declared himself the winner, but subsequently issued a set of rules governing his future debates. Future debate partners would have to sign and notarize the following statement: ''' STATEMENT OF BELIEF -I believe it is possible that Jesus did not exist. -I believe there is no evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ that dates to the time of his alleged life. -I believe there are no written eyewitness accounts of the existence of Jesus Christ. -I believe the names of the Gospels were added well after their composition, and there is no good reason to believe that these names correspond to the original writers. -I believe there is no good reason to believe that any of the Gospels were written by disciples of Jesus Christ, or that any eyewitnesses to Jesus were involved in their composition. -I believe the Bible is not infallible. -I believe it is common for religious cults to make things up. -I believe it is common for religions to influence each other, and for young religions to be derived from older religions. -I believe that any claim can be part of Christian tradition and also be false. -I believe that no figures such as "God" or "The Holy Spirit" or "Satan" performed any supernatural actions that had any significant effect upon the formation of early Christianity. -I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct. '''It is interesting to note that more than half of these affirmations are substantively part of Flemming's standard presentation of his case. Whether anyone will be willing to engage him under these circumstances remains to be seen.'''

For the sake of being a better wiki-contributor, I'd be interested in finding out what the unencyclopedic language is, and how these facts can be updated and added to reflect their relevance to Brian's particular work here.

Your particular concern that this is about Brian's interaction with only one person seems to ignore that this interaction is going to govern all his future interactions on this topic. Given that one of the significant outcomes of this interaction is Brian essentially refusing to debate or discuss this topic with evangelical Christians, I think it is more significant than I am personally.

If the "War on Easter" is legitimate content in this entry, then the events surrounding it in question ought to be legitimately portrayed.

--centuri0n 20:02, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for responding centuri0n, you may call me Laurence if you wish. I will try to answer your queries, though please bear in mind that I am relatively new to Wikipedia myself. By the way, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

First, some general observations. I take a degree of interest in Brian Flemming—I have viewed The God Who Wasn't There, and read his blog occasionally, which I find mildly amusing. Broadly speaking, I am in agreement with him. As I understand it, Flemming seeks to make what he considers to be a serious point concerning the historicity of Jesus and religion in general, by employing humour which includes, from time to time, pranks and stunts. To this extent, I feel that you may have taken him slightly more seriously than he takes himself.

As far as un-encyclopedic content is concerned, the following extract, I would suggest, is a statement of opinion and speculation:

''It is interesting to note that more than half of these affirmations are substantively part of Flemming's standard presentation of his case. Whether anyone will be willing to engage him under these circumstances remains to be seen.''

As far as writing about yourself is concerned, I feel you have erred in simply including too much material concerning this episode, in an article which should principally be about Flemming. Including the full "Statement of Belief," in my view, is over the top. I don't suppose he expects anyone in the world to sign and notarize it—he's just making one of his points.

I have to say that, having actually followed the links now, I am still of the view that this episode does not merit inclusion. I take quite an interest in these debates, but even I could not be troubled to read through the entire thing. I am sorry, I know from my own experience how disheartening it is when others appear not to be totally engrossed in one's activities!

If you really feel that you would like to include something about this episode, then I would suggest no more than the following:

Subsequently, Flemming participated in an online debate with a Christian blogger known as "centuri0n."

Sorry, I know it isn't much! I'm afraid I do not see it as significant whether Flemming is or is not refusing to debate with this or that party, as he does not represent anyone but himself really. He's just a filmmaker and blogger, out to make what he sees as a serious point, but have a laugh at the same time.

All of the above is merely my opinion! Thank you again for your interest.

—Laurence Boyce 21:51, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Laurence --

I'll take it. I think that this citation, including the link, is 100% substantial. I appreciate your open mind and guidance on this matter.

I would also agree, btw, that it's hard to imagine why anyone wouldn't be as interested in me as I am. :-)

Reviewer stated there was poor filming quality in a Brian Flemming movie
I decided the following review of the filming quality of Brian Flemming's movies should be alluded to.

Here is the review I read of the poor filming quality of Brian Flemming's "The God Who Wasn't There":

"The filming is poor. This is most likely the result of Flemming’s working from a shoestring budget and either his inexperience or lack of gifting. The poor quality is sometimes distracting. For instance, in two interviews with Robert Price and David and Barbara Mikkelson, there is a distracting reflection of camera light and sunlight in their eyeglasses. In the interview with Price, the camera can even be seen in his eyeglasses, because it is directly in front of him. Changing the angle would have easily eliminated this. Flemming did not bother to straighten the tilted lampshade in his interview with Price. The quality of the filming reaches its low in Flemming’s interview with Scott Butcher. Because of backlighting, Butcher looks very dark. Flemming uses only one camera throughout his interviews and asks his questions from behind the camera, producing the impression that one is viewing a homemade video rather than a professional production. The graphics are very repetitive, seldom change, and are of a low quality. Yet, as we shall see, the film’s technical difficulties are the least of its problems."  ken 21:44, 31 May 2006 (UTC)kdbuffalo

And who made the above remarks exactly? An experienced film critic? It's obviously a low budget documentary—I think the criticism is both ungracious and irrelevant, and quite clearly unnecessary here.—Laurence Boyce 14:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Brian flemming is a film maker. That is his claim to fame.   If his filming is substandard as is shown above, then I think this is relevant. ken 16:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)kdbuffalo

 * Who made those remarks—a film critic, or a Christian activist? I have viewed The God Who Wasn't There twice, and have discussed it with a number of people, Christians and non-Christians alike. Of all the discussions and disagreements we had, I cannot recall anyone saying, "what a bad piece of film making." We all just took it to be what it is—a low budget documentary.

 * Have it your way, but it doesn't reflect very well.—Laurence Boyce 19:01, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I have seen the movie discussed and a person said the filming was poor.  Here is a choice quote from above: "In the interview with Price, the camera can even be seen in his eyeglasses, because it is directly in front of him. Changing the angle would have easily eliminated this."    I think you would do well to admit that Brian Flemming's filming tecnique is quite poor and move on.  ken 03:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)kdbuffalo

 * I have now loaded an image of Robert Price here. God, I can see what you mean—it's just terrible. I don't know how I watched that interview without ever noticing the dazzling reflection. Yup, Flemming is definitely the worst film maker I have ever seen.—Laurence Boyce 21:32, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

For the second time I have removed the section concerning Flemming's film-making skills, in line with the discussion over here.—Laurence Boyce 15:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Material Left at Churches
Laurence Boyce—

The facts are It is really not sufficient to make vague references to a campaign that would theoretically be described in another entry that doesn't presently exist despite a childless wikification.
 * that Flemming is encouraging people to leave material on church property which argues against the doctrine of those churches
 * that Flemming is posting pictures of these exploits on his website

Now, I know that Devilmaycares is a POV-pusher, and has at time slipt into vandalism (including vandalism of this article); but here he is basically correct. And I am going to take submit this for Arbitration if you won't admit the datum in some reasonable form. (One reasonable form might be for you to turn that hypothetical article into an actual article.) —12.72.71.160 13:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your input. I have reverted these edits for the second time for the following reasons:
 * Using the terms "propaganda" or even "doctrinal material" is tendentious.
 * Saying that Flemming encourages people to "sneak" into churches is a bit tendentious.
 * Worst of all, what has been written is inaccurate. As I understand it, we are talking here about the so-called "War on Easter" which was, well, in Easter. There is no "current" activity on this front that I am aware of.
 * The "War on Easter" is already covered in the section and doesn't require any further detail.
 * Categorising Flemming as anti-Catholic is tendentious. He is not specifically anti-Catholic; he is anti all religion and the cat "Criticism of religion" aptly reflects this.
 * Laurence Boyce 13:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC

 * Well,
 * If you can find a better term for material advocating a particular position, then I'd welcome it.
 * Again, perhaps you can find a better term than “sneak”, but it's clear that participants couldn't put their material some of the places that they have without acting surreptitiously.
 * Perhaps you can show me where, on that website, a halt is declared. If actions are represented as laudable, without anything to indicate that they were but some how no longer are, then they are ''encouraged.
 * There is absolutely nothing in the article explaining the methods of the “War on Easter”. For all that one might infer from the article, it could represent throwing eggs at Easter Bunnies.
 * I agree that Categorizing Flemming as anti-Catholic is here at best misleading.
 * —12.72.71.160 13:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Montana (steamboat)

The Montana was a Missouri River stern-wheel steamboat, one of three "mega-steamboats" (along with its sister boats the Wyoming and the Dakota) built in 1879 at the end of the steamboat era on the Missouri—when steamboats were soon to be supplanted by the nation's expanding railroad network. It was 250 ft long (excluding the paddle wheel) and 48.8 ft wide and weighed 959 tons (870 tonnes), excluding cargo. For a while the Montana's size allowed it to compete with the railroads, but the railroads continued to close the gap. On June 22, 1884, the Montana met its fate near Bridgeton, Missouri, when it collided with the Wabash Bridge and/or a submerged tree branch (a snag) by various accounts. To allow its cargo to be unloaded, it was beached on the Bridgeton side of the river, where in the following years its rotting hulk was repeatedly buried and uncovered as the banks of the river shifted.

In the winter of 2001–2002, unusually low water levels in the Missouri exposed the remains of the Montana for the first time since the mid-1960s, and the State Historic Preservation Office of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources contracted SCI Engineering, Inc., of nearby St. Charles to monitor and photographically document the remains. The following autumn, at the invitation of Dr. Steve J. Dasovich, head of SCI's Archaeological Services Division, members of East Carolina University's Maritime History Program conducted an excavation and investigation of the wreckage. In 2012, low waters once again exposed the wreckage, and it was the subject of news reports. In these reports, Dr. Dasovich is quoted attributing the wreck to the boat's striking a submerged tree rather than its striking a bridge.

The Montana was the subject of the History Channel's Deep Sea Detectives episode "Skeleton in the Sand: The Montana" in September 2003 and was featured in the Wild West Tech episode "Biggest Machines in the West" in December 2004.

This is the version of Genseiryu of 5 June 2005, 00:04, shortly before the edit war really broke lose

Genseiryu, also known as Genseikan, is a karate style and has its roots in Shuri Te, one of the three original karate styles on Okinawa (a Japanese island). It was developed by Sensei Seiken Shukumine (1925-2001) who combined classic techniques with new ones and so formed an improved version of the Okinawa-Te he had learned from grandmasters Sadoyama and Kishimoto. The name he gave to this style comes from Gen ('universe', but also 'subtle and deep truth'), Sei ('control', but also 'system' and 'creating a form') and Ryu (stream, school, tradition). The combination Gensei-Ryu means we pursue the deep truth and make it clear once after we get the truth. Sometimes is spoken of Genseikan, where the term Kan means 'intuition'.

Genseiryu was demonstrated for the first time in Japan by Sensei Shukumine in 1949. In 1955 Genseiryu was officially recognised. Shukumine published in 1964 his book “Shin Karatedo Kyohan” in which he descibes the techniques of the style. In 2003 the World Gensei-Ryu Organisation decided to use this book as a guide line for Genseiryu. The book also describes the kata (excercises where a number of kicks, punches and other techniques are performed against 4 to 8 imaginary opponents) that are practised in Gensei-Ryu, amongst them the basic kata Ten-i no, Chi-i no and Jin-i no, but also Naihanchi and the most famous for this style, the one you work up to from the basic kata: Sansai no kata.

In 1965 Sensei Shukumine introduces a further development of Gensei-Ryu which he calls Taido. Taido is by many people not seen as a new karate style, but as a totally new, modern martial art. This new Budo discipline has lots of acrobatic moves like somersaults and flips. Besides Taido, sensei Shukumine was still involved with Genseiryu until his death in 2001.

Genseiryu is a relatively small karate style and is characterised by deep, low stances, up-and-down movements of the upper body, many direction changes and the Shihoo. Shihoo means 'four directions' and comprises excercises in which a combination of techniques are repeated again and again in four different directions. It looks a little like a kata (by the way, some other karate styles do also practise some Shihoo). Gensei-Ryu stands close to the original Okinawa karate and is therefore a pure form of karate, taught by sincere masters in a way as is meant by Sensei Seiken Shukumine. There are some schools that have replaced the basic kata of Genseiryu by beginners kata from the Shotokan style just to make it more interesting (competative) for matches. They call themselves Genseiryu, but they don't follow the original road as meant by the founder of the style. Therefore they have never been recognised neither by the World Genseiryu Karatedo Federation, nor by Sensei Shukumine himself. They have however been recognised by the Japan Karatedo Federation (JKF), but have to use the additional term Butokukai to their name.

Other karate styles derived from Genseiryu are a.o.: Genwakai, Keneikai, Ryounkai, Butokukai and Seidokai.
