Cleanup
This page needs a clean-up, but it also needs facts. The Cyriot and Palestinian measures are both derived from the Ottoman system, so why are they so different? I don't know a good source of information on this. --Zero 11:30, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I see a footnote in a book: "Dunam: originally a Turkish measure of land, the size of which changed from one locality to the next. In Palestine, the dunam equalled 919 square meters." So I guess the Cypriot measure is an example of a Turkish dunam of different size from the Palestinian one. Does anyone have better information? --Zero 11:37, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Here is a reference about wildly varying definitions of a donum in Turkey. --Zero 12:25, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Indoor Football: There is a Discretion.
It seems that the info in this article and in the Arena Football League article (which the info in this article links to via the Chicago Politicians redirect), there is a bit of a difference-of-information. In this article, it says that the playtest game was the Rockford Metros VS the Chicago Politicians, whereas the Arena Football League article says that it was the Miami Vice VS the Chicago Politicians (though it was IN Rockford, Illinois). If someone could properly resolve this conflict, I'd be very appreciative. (72.234.50.130 (talk) 03:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC))

Systems architect

The systems architect is an information and communications technology professional. Systems architects define the architecture of a computerized system (i.e., a system composed of software and hardware) in order to fulfill certain requirements. Such definitions include: a breakdown of the system into components, the component interactions and interfaces (including with the environment, especially the user), and the technologies and resources to be used in its design and implementation.

The systems architect's work should seek to avoid implementation issues and readily permit unanticipated extensions/modifications in future stages. Because of the extensive experience required for this, the systems architect is typically a very senior technologist with substantial, but general, knowledge of hardware, software, and similar (user) systems. Above all, the systems architect must be reasonably knowledgeable of the users' domain of experience. For example, the architect of an air traffic system needs to be more than superficially familiar with all of the tasks of an air traffic system, including those of all levels of users.

The title of systems architect connotes higher-level design responsibilities than a systems engineer, software engineer or programmer, though day-to-day activities may overlap.

Overview
Systems architects interface with multiple stakeholders in an organization in order to understand the various levels of requirements, the domain, the viable technologies, and anticipated development process. Their work includes determining multiple design and implementation alternatives, assessing such alternatives based on all identified constraints (such as cost, schedule, space, power, safety, usability, reliability, maintainability, availability, and other "ilities"), and selecting the most suitable options for further design. The output of such work sets the core properties of the system and those that are hardest to change later.

In small systems the architecture is typically defined directly by the developers. However, in larger systems, a systems architect should be appointed to outline the overall system, and to interface between the users, sponsors, and other stakeholders on one side and the engineers on the other. Very large, highly complex systems may include multiple architects, in which case the architects work together to integrate their subsystems or aspects, and respond to a chief architect responsible for the entire system. In general, the role of the architect is to act as a mediator between the users and the engineers, reconciling the users' needs and requirements with what the engineers have determined to be doable within the given (engineering) constraints.

In systems design, the architects (and engineers) are responsible for:
 * Interfacing with the user(s) and sponsor(s) and all other stakeholders in order to determine their (evolving) needs.
 * Generating the highest level of system requirements, based on the users' needs and other constraints.
 * Ensuring that this set of high level requirements is consistent, complete, correct, and operationally defined.
 * Performing cost–benefit analyses to determine whether requirements are best met by manual, software, or hardware functions; making maximum use of commercial off-the-shelf or already developed components.
 * Developing partitioning algorithms (and other processes) to allocate all present and foreseeable requirements into discrete partitions such that a minimum of communications is needed among partitions, and between the users and the system.
 * Partitioning large systems into (successive layers of) subsystems and components each of which can be handled by a single engineer or team of engineers or subordinate architect.
 * Interfacing with the design and implementation engineers and architects, so that any problems arising during design or implementation can be resolved in accordance with the fundamental design concepts, and users' needs and constraints.
 * Ensuring that a maximally robust and extensible design is developed.
 * Generating a set of acceptance test requirements, together with the designers, test engineers, and the users, which determine that all of the high-level requirements have been met, especially for the computer-human-interface.
 * Generating products such as sketches, models, an early user guide, and prototypes to keep the users and the engineers constantly up to date and in agreement on the system to be provided as it is evolving.
 * Ensuring that all architectural products and products with architectural input are maintained in the most current state and never allowed to seriously lag or become obsolete.

Systems architect: topics
Large systems architecture was developed as a way to handle systems too large for one person to conceive of, let alone design. Systems of this size are rapidly becoming the norm, so architectural approaches and architects are increasingly needed to solve the problems of large to very large systems. In general, increasingly large systems are reduced to 'human' proportions by a layering approach, where each layer is composed of a number of individually comprehensible sub-layers-- each having its own principal engineer and/or architect. A complete layer at one level will be shown as a functional 'component' of a higher layer (and may disappear altogether at the highest layers).

Users and sponsors
Architects are expected to understand human needs and develop humanly functional and aesthetically-pleasing products. A good architect is also the principal keeper of the users' vision of the end product, and of the process of deriving requirements from and implementing that vision.

Architects do not follow exact procedures. They communicate with users/sponsors in a highly interactive, relatively informal way— together they extract the true requirements necessary for the designed (end) system. The architect must remain constantly in communication with the end users and with the (principal) systems engineers. Therefore, the architect must be intimately familiar with the users' environment and problem, and with the engineering environment(s) of likely solution spaces.

High level requirements
The user requirements specification should be a joint product of the users and architect: the users bring their needs and wish list, the architect brings knowledge of what is likely to prove doable within the cost, time and other constraints. When the users needs are translated into a set of high-level requirements is also the best time to write the first version of the acceptance test, which should, thereafter, be religiously kept up to date with the requirements. That way, the users will be absolutely clear about what they are getting. It is also a safeguard against untestable requirements, misunderstandings, and requirements creep.

The development of the first level of engineering requirements is not a purely analytical exercise and should also involve both the architect and engineer. If any compromises are to be made— to meet constraints- the architect must ensure that the final product and overall look and feel do not stray very far from the users' intent. The engineer should focus on developing a design that optimizes the constraints but ensures a workable, reliable, extensible and robust product. The provision of needed services to the users is the true function of an engineered system. However, as systems become ever larger and more complex, and as their emphases move away from simple hardware and software components, the narrow application of traditional systems development principles have been found to be insufficient— the application of more general principles of systems, hardware, and software architecture to the design of (sub)systems is seen to be needed. Architecture may also be seen as a simplified model of the finished end product— its primary function is to define the parts and their relationships to each other so that the whole can be seen to be a consistent, complete, and correct representation of what the users' had in mind— especially for the computer-human-interface. It is also used to ensure that the parts fit together and relate in the desired way.

It is necessary to distinguish between the architecture of the users' world and the engineered systems architecture. The former represents and addresses problems and solutions in the user's world. It is principally captured in the computer-human-interfaces (CHI) of the engineered system. The engineered system represents the engineering solutions— how the engineer proposes to develop and/or select and combine the components of the technical infrastructure to support the CHI. In the absence of an experienced architect, there is an unfortunate tendency to confuse the two architectures. But— the engineer thinks in terms of hardware and software and the technical solution space, whereas the users may be thinking in terms of solving a problem of getting people from point A to point B in a reasonable amount of time and with a reasonable expenditure of energy, or of getting needed information to customers and staff. A systems architect is expected to combine knowledge of both the architecture of the users' world and of (all potentially useful) engineering systems architectures. The former is a joint activity with the users; the latter is a joint activity with the engineers. The product is a set of high-level requirements reflecting the users' requirements which can be used by the engineers to develop systems design requirements.

Because requirements evolve over the course of a project, especially a long one, an architect is needed until the system is accepted by the user: the architect ensures that all changes and interpretations made during the course of development do not compromise the users' viewpoint.

Cost/benefit analyses
Architects are generalists. They are not expected to be experts in any one technology but are expected to be knowledgeable of many technologies and able to judge their applicability to specific situations. They also apply their knowledge to practical situations, but evaluate the cost/benefits of various solutions using different technologies, for example, hardware versus software versus manual, and assure that the system as a whole performs according to the users' expectations.

Many commercial-off-the-shelf or already developed hardware and software components may be selected independently according to constraints such as cost, response, throughput, etc. In some cases, the architect can already assemble the end system (almost) unaided. Or, s/he may still need the help of a hardware or software engineer to select components and to design and build any special purpose function. The architects (or engineers) may also enlist the aid of other specialists— in safety, security, communications, special purpose hardware, graphics, human factors, test and evaluation, quality control, reliability, maintainability, availability, interface management, etc. An effective systems architectural team must have access to specialists in critical specialties as needed.

Partitioning and layering
An architect planning a building works on the overall design, making sure it will be pleasing and useful to its inhabitants. While a single architect by himself may be enough to build a single-family house, many engineers may be needed, in addition, to solve the detailed problems that arise when a novel high-rise building is designed. If the job is large and complex enough, parts of the architecture may be designed as independent components. That is, if we are building a housing complex, we may have one architect for the complex, and one for each type of building, as part of an architectural team.

Large automation systems also require an architect and much engineering talent. If the engineered system is large and complex enough, the systems architect may defer to a hardware architect and/or a software architect for parts of the job, although they all may be members of a joint architectural team.

The architect should sub-allocate the system requirements to major components or subsystems that are within the scope of a single hardware or software engineer, or engineering manager and team. But the architect must never be viewed as an engineering supervisor. (If the item is sufficiently large and/or complex, the chief architect will sub-allocate portions to more specialized architects.) Ideally, each such component/subsystem is a sufficiently stand-alone object that it can be tested as a complete component, separate from the whole, using only a simple testbed to supply simulated inputs and record outputs. That is, it is not necessary to know how an air traffic control system works in order to design and build a data management subsystem for it. It is only necessary to know the constraints under which the subsystem will be expected to operate.

A good architect ensures that the system, however complex, is built upon relatively simple and "clean" concepts for each (sub)system or layer and is easily understandable by everyone, especially the users, without special training. The architect will use a minimum of heuristics to ensure that each partition is well defined and clean of kludges, work-arounds, short-cuts, or confusing detail and exceptions. As users needs evolve, (once the system is fielded and in use), it is a lot easier subsequently to evolve a simple concept than one laden with exceptions, special cases, and much "fine print."

Layering the architecture is important for keeping the architecture sufficiently simple at each layer so that it remains comprehensible to a single mind. As layers are ascended, whole systems at lower layers become simple components at the higher layers, and may disappear altogether at the highest layers.

Acceptance test
The acceptance test is a principal responsibility of the systems architect. It is the chief means by which the program lead will prove to the users that the system is as originally planned and that all involved architects and engineers have met their objectives.

Communications with users and engineers
A building architect uses sketches, models, and drawings. An automation systems (or software or hardware) architect should use sketches, models, and prototypes to discuss different solutions and results with users, engineers, and other architects. An early, draft version of the users' manual is invaluable, especially in conjunction with a prototype. Nevertheless, it is important that a workable, well written set of requirements, or specification, be created which is reasonably understandable to the customer (so that they can properly sign off on it, but the principal users' requirements should be captured in a preliminary users' manual for intelligibility). But it must use precise and unambiguous language so that designers and other implementers are left in no doubt as to meanings or intentions. In particular, all requirements must be testable, and the initial draft of the test plan should be developed contemporaneously with the requirements. All stakeholders should sign off on the acceptance test descriptions, or equivalent, as the sole determinant of the satisfaction of the requirements, at the outset of the program.

Architect metaphor
The use of any form of the word "architect" is regulated by "title acts" in many states in the US, and a person must be licensed as a building architect to use it.

In the UK the architects registration board excludes the usage of architect (when used in the context of software and IT) from its restricted usage.

Bridgetown, Western Australia

Bridgetown is a town in the South West region of Western Australia, approximately 270 km south of Perth on the Blackwood River at the intersection of South Western Highway with Brockman Highway to Nannup and Augusta.

History
The area was originally known as Geegelup, which was believed to mean "place of gilgies" in the Noongar language, referring to the fresh water lobster that inhabits the area. However recent research suggests the actual meaning of Geegelup may be "place of spears".

In 1852, A.C. Gregory made the original survey of the Geegelup area and in 1857, Edward Godfrey Hester (now honoured in nearby Hester) and John Blechynden settled there. In 1861, convicts built the road from Donnybrook into the area. In 1864 the Geegelup Post Office was established in a building on Blechynden's property. A basic police station that had existed since c1862 was substantially reconstructed by former convict, Joseph Smith on the south bank of the Blackwood River in mid 1867. Mounted Constable Abraham W. Moulton was the first permanently appointed policeman.

The townsite was surveyed in April 1868 by Thomas Carey, who proposed the name Bridgetown for two reasons – "as it is at a bridge and the Bridgetown was the first ship to put in at Bunbury for the wool from these districts", and was approved and gazetted on 9 June 1868.

From then until about 1885, many buildings including the primary school (1870), post office, new police station (1880) and two hotels were constructed, many of which are still standing today. In 1885, the Bridgetown Agricultural Society was formed and local farmers produced sheep, cattle, dairy products, timber, fruit and nuts. The building boom in Western Australia during the gold boom of the 1890s saw an increased demand for sawn timber, and numerous mills opened in the Bridgetown area. The coming of the railway in 1898 enabled quick access to markets for the many orchardists and helped establish the beginning of a tourist industry.

Until the 1980s, the land surrounding Bridgetown was almost exclusively used for broadacre agriculture and improved pasture. From the late 1970s, the area became increasingly attractive to tourists as a tranquil and picturesque country town an accessible distance from Perth. Some people, attracted by the area's aesthetic qualities and rural lifestyle moved to the town permanently, which resulted in a strong demand for residential and hobby farm allotments, at a time when there was a coincident global downturn in agricultural markets. Many farmers sold up, and much of the most aesthetically pleasing land was subdivided and sold. The demographic change had a profound impact on the town's industry, replacing demand for farm services with demand for services in the tourism and recreation sectors. However, the dramatic increase in infrastructure such as housing, roads and power reticulation detracted from the rural aesthetic that attracted the influx in the first place.

Present day
Bridgetown is the seat of the Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes and the centre of a productive agricultural district. Many buildings in the town centre are over a century old. The town has a Jigsaw Gallery and Museum, which claims to host the only jigsaw collection of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, and also a primary school (1870) and high school (1962), district hospital, telecentre, shire offices, roadhouse, agricultural showground, shopping facilities, accommodation for travellers (hotel/motel, B&Bs, caravan park) and numerous picnic spots along the Blackwood River. The rural residential area of Kangaroo Gully to the town's east has grown since the 1990s. Each year, Bridgetown hosts many events, including:
 * April: Easter Tennis Tournament
 * May: Festival of Country Gardens (autumn)
 * June to August: Bridgetown in the Winter Festival. Shops are adorned with blue lights, many events and workshops.
 * October: Blackwood Marathon
 * October: Blackwood Valley Wine Show
 * November: Bridgetown Garden Festival
 * November: Blues at Bridgetown music festival
 * November: Agricultural show (which traces its roots to the 1920s) (held on the last Saturday in November)
 * November: Festival of Country Gardens (spring)

The town became the first place in Australia to ban the sale of energy drinks to persons under 18 in February 2023 for an initial trial period of four months.

Climate
Bridgetown experiences a hot Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification Csa).

N-Town Plays

The N-Town Plays (also called the Hegge Cycle and the Ludus Coventriae cycle) are a cycle of 42 medieval Mystery plays from between 1450 and 1500.

The manuscript
The manuscript is now housed in the British Library, London (BL MS Cotton Vespasian D.8). As its name might suggest, though, it was once the property of the 17th-century antiquarian Sir Robert Bruce Cotton and was housed in his large library. Cotton's librarian, Richard James, quickly examined the manuscript and erroneously assumed that it contained the Biblical plays performed in Coventry during the 15th and 16th centuries, thus naming them the Ludus Coventriae or "the Play Called Corpus Christi". He was mistaken in both cases, but that mistake has proven very difficult to correct; the name Ludus Coventriae persists in the secondary and critical literature well into the 20th century. A further complication of the N-Town plays was made by Hardin Craig who, in his Medieval Drama (1955), called the collection the Hegge Plays after their former owner, Robert Hegge. The name Hegge Plays only briefly caught on, and the most common way to refer to these plays now is The N-Town Plays, after the reference in the last stanza of the opening proclamation that the play was to be played at "N-Town"; when the plays toured from town to town, "N" (meaning nomen, the Latin for name) would be replaced by the name of the town the cycle was playing in at any given time.

The plays of the N-Town cycle vary from simple, almost liturgical, recitations of Biblical texts (as in the Moses play of the Ten Commandments, the Jesse play with its kings and prophets, and the Pentecost play) to highly complex and fast moving short dramas on Biblical themes that have a naturalism and liveliness (as in the Death of Herod and the Woman Taken in Adultery) almost unique in early drama. These plays can all be played from a wagon or a single booth stage. On the other hand, the two Mary Plays and the Passion Play were written for what is often called "place and scaffold" production in the round using "scaffolds" or raised stages and also the "platea" or the "place" between the stages.

The true nature of the manuscript has been hidden by the fact that the scribe arranged all the episodes in "chronological order" starting with Creation and ending with Judgment, simulating an episodic play presenting salvation history as in the two northern civic cycles from York and Chester. As he did this he buried the Mary Play inside the Nativity sequence and copied the Passion Play into place between the Raising of Lazarus and the Resurrection appearances. It has taken painstaking paleographic and codicologic examinations of the manuscript to determine what the scribe actually did. To further complicate the matter, at some point in the history of copying out these plays, the proclamation was attached to them. Although the proclamation does not match the plays that follow, someone, possibly the scribe of this manuscript, placed numbers in the margin of the text against incidents that correspond to the description of the "pageants" in the proclamation. This does not affect the single episode pageants but it breaks up the flow of the Passion Play and has obscured the very existence of the Mary Play for centuries.

A final scribal feature of this manuscript is the stage directions which reflect a curious mixture of intent. They seem to be recording performance detail while, at the same time, facilitating the reading of the manuscript as a meditation text rather than using it as a text to be enacted. The stage directions are in Latin in the pageants, in the Mary Play they are a mix of English and Latin and in the Passion Play they are almost entirely in English. They seem to function as much as an aid to help a reader visualise the action as actual practical instructions to a director. The details of costume and action in the stage directions in the Passion Play suggest a description of an actual performance. The liturgical music is specified in the Mary Play and Assumption Play by including the opening words of each piece or the "incipit" in the stage directions. On the other hand, the stage directions in many of the pageants are quite laconic.

Location
All scholars who have worked with this manuscript agree that it belongs in the east Midlands. Some attempt has been made to place it as far north as Lincoln (it was even called the Lincoln cycle by some scholars for a period and is still performed in the shadow of Lincoln Cathedral), but the general consensus places the manuscript in East Anglia. Stephen Spector cautiously writes "The linguistic evidence indicates that the codex was recorded principally or exclusively by scribes trained in East Anglia" (Spector, xxix) Meredith more positively asserts that The Mary Play comes from Norfolk (Meredith, 6). However, since the eclectic nature of the MS. has been recognised, scholars have been hesitant to insist that all the plays copied into this anthology were played in the same place.

Date
The date "1468" appears in the hand of the major scribe at the end of the Purification play (f 100v). This, then, is the earliest possible date for the copying of the text. Spector has concluded on the basis of dialectal evidence that the plays cannot predate 1425 and on the basis of the watermarks on the paper that the paper used by the main scribe comes from the period 1460–77. It is possible, again on the basis of the paper, that the Assumption play, written separately by a different scribe and bound into the main MS., was copied slightly earlier. We are safe to assume that the MS. dates from the second half of the third quarter (ca. 1463–75) of the 15th century. This makes it the oldest MS. to contain a large number of Biblical plays. Although we know there were plays performed elsewhere from the late 14th century, the York manuscript was written down in the 1470s, the Towneley MS. after the turn of the 16th century and all the versions of the Chester plays after 1596.

Sources of the plays
The majority of the plays that make up the N-Town Cycle are based (some rather tenuously) on the Bible, while the others are taken from Roman Catholic legend, apocryphal sources and folk tradition. The Parliament of Heaven is based on just one verse from a psalm. The Marian plays place a strong emphasis on the early life of the Virgin, as well as on the relationship between her and Joseph (which plays heavily upon the popular medieval old man with a younger wife trope). The Trial of Mary and Joseph play has been identified as a pastiche of the East Anglian ecclesiastical court system.

Modern revival
The Lincoln Mystery Plays are modern performances of medieval mystery plays and other productions in Lincoln Cathedral and the surrounding area.

The Lincoln Mystery Plays are based on the N-Town Plays and were inspired by Keith Ramsay (b.1933-d.2021) who was head of drama at Bishop Grosseteste College during the 1970s. In 1974, Ramsay directed the Oberfuer Cycle which then led to his work, directing the productions every four years between 1978 and 2000 of the Lincoln Mystery Plays.

The plays are performed in the Lincoln Cathedral and Southwell Minster. There are occasionally other performances. For example, in 2003, Mister Wesley, a new play by Roy Clarke, was performed in Lincoln and Southwell. In 2014, "The Last Post" was performed by the Lincoln Mystery Plays company at The Drill Hall, based on the true story of the eight local Beechey brothers, five of whom were killed in World War I.Lincolnshire Archives. This was then followed in 2018, at the Lincoln Drill Hall, by "The World at her Feet" by Steve Gillard, marking the 100th anniversary of WW1, about women's football in Lincoln during the war years.

Format
The Mystery Plays tell the story of mankind as seen through the eyes of a person from the Middle Ages. The plays are usually set between the birth of Christ and his crucifixion. The plays were written in middle English, the language of the ordinary people of that time. These guild productions flourished over 200 years in English cities until Cromwell and the Protestant Reformation ended the tradition.

Revival
The plays were almost forgotten for hundreds of years. The first major revival was in 1951 in York by E Martin Brown. In 1969 a production of "The Lincoln Cycle of Mystery Plays" was performed at the Cathedral in conjunction with Lincoln Theatre Royal. Adapted from a translation by Martial Rose.

Great catch of that typo! It's been there since Ed Poor uploaded Jimbo's remarks from his weblog.... I'm amazed that I reverted vandalism and yet perpetuated the typo. Mamawrites 17:55, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I think the point you make re different categories of user (in Votes for deletion/Mark Kobayashi-Hillary) is very useful. There's a distinction between serious authors of non-fiction (and indeed fiction) and entertainment where a fan-base exists (e.g. all the summaries of Harry Potter, individual TV episodes etc).

USS Evans (DE-1023)
Hi. I have removed the speedy tag from USS Evans (DE-1023) and made it into a redirect to USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754). A condition of the GFDL is that we track source and authorship. Deleting a page you have copied text from would violate this. Cheers, Bovlb 08:52:40, 2005-08-31 (UTC)
 * I agree that the fact that they are (or appear to be) different ships is problematic. Maybe redirecting to the talk page would be better.  Bovlb 09:33:54, 2005-08-31 (UTC)

I can't find matching text in this article vs the webpage. I've removed the tag, please readd with more specificity if it is a copyvio. Sorry. (Pardon the brusqueness, I'm clearing out a gigantic backlog) JesseW 20:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Copyvios
They can't be speedily deleted; you might think it a waste of time, but it's much more of a waste for the admin to have to remove the text and implement the copyvio procedure... --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 10:26, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * As Criteria for speedy deletion makes clear, copyvios don't meet the criteria. That's especially important when the source text isn't available for admins to check. There's a proposal to allow obvious copyvios to be speedied, but that also limits the cases to on-line sopurces (and hasn't been passed yet). --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 15:19, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Any admin who speedied an article that didn't meet the criteria, especially on the grounds that it was a copyvio that can't be easily checked, would probably find herself being questioned and criticised (and rightly so; I'm sure that you're wholly honourable in this, but anyone could claim that an article violated copyright in that way). --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

See my recent post on the matter, if you haven't already. I'm very interested to hear your reaction.

Thank You
Love you,

China...abortions and Pat Robertson
I edited out this piece on China and abortions from the Pat Robertson article:

"It has since been speculated that as founder of the Zhaodaole China Internet portal and part-owner of a cable network in China, Robertson was unwilling to risk straining relations with the Chinese government. "

It has since been...'SPECULATED'?????

And the crackpot rightwing WelchReport (check out his site when you get the chance) doing the speculation, is HARDLY a viable source of news much less speculation.

re Medical record / Medical records merge

Latasha threw punches?
Latasha swung after the korean grabbed her purse. Now think about it: a black grabs a korean's purse. The korean defends herself. As the korean is walking away, the black blows out the back of her head. Probation?

This is the Latasha Harlins murder in reverse.

Stop being such empty-minded bigots. That korean should still be sitting in jail. Instead she got probation from racists aiming to play stupid koreans against blacks. That korean is one of the reasons I don't patronize korean businesses to this day, and I encourage other blacks to follow suit.

- If I can call upon your assistance once again, could you see what you can find for a death date for Ferdinand Pecora of New York. I have a bio on him ready to post to Wikipedia but only have an incomplete death date of January 1972 from the SSDI while another source says December 7, 1971. - Ted Wilkes 17:16, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Got the e-mail but the PDF came through as a URL link that when I opened required an account name and password. Seeing as it is his obit, I used his death date you gave me for the article but there was a difference in the birth day so I used the SSDI with a note on the Talk page. Again, thanks a lot for the help. - 19:51, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

--- I hope I'm not taking too much advantage of your generosity but I have two more individuals I'm looking for full dates of birth/death on and cemetery, if available:

 * 1) Charles D. Barney - Wall Steert broker, co-founder of Smith Barney and Jay Cooke's son-in-law (the D. is important to segrate him from Charles T. Barney, a Wall Street thief.)

 * 1) Charles Hayden (1870-1937), financier and philanthropist (Charles Hayden Foundation) who founded the brokerage firms of Hayden, Stone & Co. and Haystone Securities Corporation of Boston and New York City.

Thanks again. There is no hurry on this. - Ted Wilkes 12:32, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

newspapers & magazines
Hi! as you may have noticed, I added my name to the newspapers & magazines request service.. I came across an announcement for it somewhere and I think it's a great idea. This is also the kind of thing I do for a living, although any research I do will be only on my own time and for my "personal use" to avoid violating license agreements, as I suspect is the case for all of us, since most universities provide content for the users of those universities only :) Anyway, I have access to pretty much any database there is, since I can access the libraries of two major universities. If you can't find something, ask and I'll let you know if I have it. One thing --I was wondering if you've thought about how to address dividing up questions/requests if the service gets popular? Maybe by adding your name under a question if you're working on something? I guess we'll see if it gets busy before it really becomes an issue. Cheers - Brassratgirl 01:39, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Ride is Right!
Researching this tragic event and Cannot believe the verdict. This cannot be 'spun' towards any sympathy for Soon Ja Du. Primarily because she invited physical retailiation by putting her hands on Latasha first. Up until the point a person does that, there is no aggressor. The first person to initiate physical contact is "asking for it." Soon's age, height, weight, etc. are truly so irrelevant in this case -- if she was so old [and 49 is NOT old], frail, etc. why initiate physical contact with a teenager? What are you thinking? Apparently that if it gets too out of hand, you'll just go get the gun and shoot her. Maybe that's why she had no fear of disrespecting Latasha's personal space and provoking Latasha to retaliate by punching her in the face. The force of the blows are irrelevant and we find they only leave "superficial" marks (not even 'scars)--so there goes that argument. If YOU start it, I can justifiable KILL you because I bit off more than I could chew in the first place? ["she punched her really hard!" Please.] If she had hit the Korean woman first, it could be argued that she was fearful or something more rational, but as it actually did happen -- No. The fact that Americans want to justify and make excuses for a GROWN WOMAN attacking an CHILD and TAKING HER LIFE, is a sorry commentary on racism in America in general and the value of Black Life in specific.

 * If we can't maintain the myth of good quality -- how can we expect to grow or keep current visitors? Lotsofissues 22:40, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It would be fraudulent for us to mask the messiness of Wikipedia for the purpose of gaining prestige. The fact is that the level of quality here is very uneven and always changing. Casual visitors need to be aware of how this encyclopedia is built and be able to make informed decisions about its trustworthiness. I would never recommend Wikipedia as an authoritative reference source. On the other hand it is a VERY convenient and comprehensive source of basic information and context, from which deeper researches can set out. As for attracting users, I myself started editing because of what I perceived Wikipedia to LACK rather than what it offered. Dystopos 23:09, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Mrs. John Wood birthdate
Hi, Lotsofissues. Where did you find the source for your birth and death dates for Mrs. John Wood? The only source I could find on them was the book by Vera Mowry Roberts. She gives dates of 1821—1915, then says that Wood was 83 when she died. I used those dates without checking them, but anyone who does the math can see they're wrong. The only other source I could find that listed dates is this website, which gives a birth year of "c. 1836". Where did you find the dates? Thanks. —BrianSmithson 22:48, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I found my info from the ODNB, the standard reference on British ppl.
 * Here are the first sentences:
 * Wood [née Vining], Matilda Charlotte [known as Mrs John Wood] (bap. 1831, d. 1915), actress and theatre manager, was baptized on 28 November 1831 at St Peter's Church, Liverpool, the second daughter of the actors Henry Vining and Amelia Vining, née Quantrell (1803/4–1874) [see Vining family]. Despite going on the stage when she was ten, Matilda Vining, whose ‘forte was low comedy’ (ILN, 28 Feb 1885), came to prominence in England only in the late 1860s after gaining a reputation in America, principally in burlesque, and reached the height of her success in the 1880s in farces by Pinero. Her first stage appearance was in 1841 in Brighton.

BUSINESS PROPOSAL
GOOD DAY,

I write to you based on a request by an investor and his need for investment funding in your country. My name is Dr.Anthoney Wali. a financial consultant and I work with a reputable financial services firm. My company most times represents the interests of very wealthy investors. Due to the sensitivity of the position they hold in thier society and the unstable investment environment of their country, they evacuate majority of their funds into more stable economies and developed nations where they can get good yield for their money. I was recently approached by a Reserved Client, whom I had personally worked with a few years ago with a proposal. What he request is an individual such as yourself, who will be willing to receive money on his behalf abroad, and put it to good use for a period not exceeding 6 years for a start.The client has offered these terms: 1. 10% commission paid to me and my foreign partner of the total funds successfully evacuated. The funds in question are over ($ 6, Million) US Dollars. 2. The funds will be used by the foreign partner for six years as a loan without any interest. That is, you do not pay any interest on the money but you give the client 50% of all profits after tax that accrued from the use of the funds. If these terms are agreeable to you, kindly let me know and I will provide you with all necessary information and procedures. The client is willing to make available the fund to your possession and in your country within 6days of confirmation of your capabilities.

Sincerely yours, Dr.Anthony Wali.

I am confused will someone explain what is going on? Sounds to me like a Nigerian money transfer fraud, what does these have to do with wikipedia anyway? and how are you supposed to contact Dr. Anthony?--mexaguil 10:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

US Navy Ranks and Rates
"Rate" is a specific job, such as Boatswain's Mate (BM); this term applies ONLY to enlisted. However, "Rank" is how high into the organization you are, such as Seaman, Fireman, Petty Officer, Cheif Petty Officer; These are enlisted ranks. Warant Officer and Commision Officers are, as the title implies, officers.

Roosevelt University
I think that you screwed up the Roosevelt University web page. You chopped off important information such as campuses(from two down to only one campus) and the school history. Also your new arrangement is very bad. Pictures are out off place. I personally see nothing wrong with copying and pasting key information from its official web site because those are facts besides they are not copyright. We cannot create a new history of this school or divide to different campuses as we want. I am wondering to make thing simpilify why we bother to write about this school in wikipedia. Would it be better to put the link to its official web site and let people browse the whole school web and read from there? We should do the same to every school also.

WayneRay 20:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)WayneRay Hi 6 months later I have just read your comments on removal of the below material. I personally feel that history can sometimes be bland and I endeavoured when writing the piece originally, that i would include personal histories and people to make the history of a place more real. I may re instate them.

Removed: wikified but I also removed parts

Mrs. Barnett moved to the high school and (the late) Hap Holander was promoted to teacher-principal in the junior high. In 1962/63, Mr. Robert Keefaurer joined the staff as assistant principal.

the administration offices were staffed by Mrs. Toon, Mrs Perdue and Mrs Betty Coroner

with the help of Shirley Vincent, Patricia Sudsbury and Julia Reid in clerical positions. Cyril Alexander was the supply clerk at the time. Mr Kidd (elementary school principal) was transferred to Japan and Mr L.E. Davis was the new Principal. In 1964/65 John Middleton became the assistant high school principal and in the administration offices were Mrs. Saul, Mrs. Title, Miss Barnes and Cyril Alexander.

In 1964/65, Greg Hastings was the physical education teacher and coach at the high school and his bride to be was a fourth grade teacher in the elementary school. They were married shortly after leaving the base and are now living in Wilson, North Carolina where Greg is Director of Teacher Education at Atlantic Christian College and Connie is Director of the Children's Center at Wilson County Technical College.

Mrs Edith Raymond taught in the high school in the late 50's and later taught for three years (grade 7&8) in Indiana and 16 years in West Point, Mississippi where she retired in 1980 and is now living on a small farm. Mrs. Barnett returned and Mr. Steve Davis joined the elementary middle school as the audio-visual director.

Your comments at Bkonrad's page re the Cooley Law article

 * A response to your comments on Bkonrad's user page...Even if the more recent (post feces) edits are coordinated, they have been based upon valid wikipedia rationales. For example, some discussion of the motto issue is supported by statements of Brennan himself, as shown by a link to the Cooley website -- the correct response here is to edit this section, not delete it. Just because there is a coordinated effort to work on the Cooley page does not make this trolling or vandalism -- the recent edits have seemed decidedly good faith.

Corrections
What is listed here is the Navy Rank structure, not rates. Enlisted personnel have a rate and a rank. Rate refers to their job specialy and rank refers to their paygrade. For example, I am a FCC. This equates to Chief Fire Controlman or Fire Control Chief Petty Officer. Also, you would refer to a particular person as Petty Officer, or you can use their rate/rank if known. For example, Petty Officer Jones or FC3 Jones. The latter is only used when you know the persons rate. Many times the rating is not known, but the rank is usually always known. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.197.192.10 (talk • contribs)

Ive read and followed Peltons work for a number of years and always have found him to be very unbiased. He has always presented an overall fair view of both sides of the conflicts he has visited and his views and opinions are usually dead on. There are a number of reasons many of the worlds Intel agencies and Fortune 500 companies subscibe to his books and views.

The fact that he is a Royal National Geographic Society Fellow should be reason enough to trust his writing and opinions.

He is a caring and compassionate author and my hat is off to him for all the great work he has accomplished. He has brought alot of good things to the worlds table.

Do not delete
Robert Pelton's work is extremely valuable to the world of journalism. Ideas and observations made outside of the corporate news entities are slowly becoming a thing of the past and less and less available to those of us that look to independent journalism to inform us on what is really happening in the world. The "non-sexy, in vogue" stories, issues, and places in need of our attention are what Mr. Pelton has made a career of focusing on and illuminating through his books, articles, and reports. Deleting his entry from Wikipedia, is fully contrary to what Wikipedia is about; a site based around the idea of community, the ideal of which as described by its founder as, "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing,"

Do not delete this entry.

Keep Robert Young Pelton
I believe he is an author who serves an under-represented community of travelers who wish to see parts of the world where everything is NOT carved out of Cheese and spalshed with chardonnay. His type of travel is the type that causes serious introspection to those who have the heart to dare. His forum is a public place where anyone with an opinion is allowed to post. You cannot fault this man for the few "wanna-bes" posting there and spewing what at times seems to be irrelevant and non-travel related advice. At the Black Flag Cafe, those who are dedicated to learning more about adventure travel and how to stay as safe as humanly possible on such trips, can find many useful tips on how to as Robert Pelton puts it, "Come Back Alive". It would be a shame that a widely regarded online encyclopedia such as this one would take this man out of its tomes on the basis of a few reckless heclers on the Black Flag Cafe's forum. You might not see up front the honest and awe-inspiring stories offered by those who are members of the site and do truly travel, but at the same time maybe it is time that someone with this organization take the time to read between the lines. One thing I have learned from Mr. Peltons books and from beginning to travel as he does is that not everything is as black and white as it appears at first glance. Rather it is in the grey areas where you can find the best of what a forum such as the BFC represents. Happy Editing. 70.7.56.197 23:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)dawn

Hey there! What was up with the San Francisco meetup? Was it advertised at all? What about another more general-purpose meetup in the Bay Area later on in the Fall? best, phoebe 00:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Research request
Hi there. I've added a new request on Newspapers and magazines request service - as one of the primary responders, I thought I'd drop you a quick note in case you didn't have that page watchlisted. Thanks in advance. (By the way, I have also asked Brassratgirl.) --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 12:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Parodies/Inciclopedia
Hi, about six months ago you moved it from the mainspace to a subpage on the project namespace on the grounds of lack of notability. Since then, the webpage was refered to in the main printed newspapers in at least three large Spanish speaking countries (Spain, Argentina and Chile). Even a senator of one of these countries refered to it. It's also one of the third most visited domain within wikia according to Alexa. Is it notable enough now? I know there are no notabilty standards defined for webpages. However, as someone who seems to be concerned with notability you may be able to give me some clues.--Rataube 16:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Research request on Constance Holme
Hi, thanks for your message. Phoebe has said she'll look into this, and I don't want you duplicating work, so hold off for the moment - if by any chance she doesn't have a chance to do it, I may come back to you. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 11:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

i have a question...
are there any differences between the way in wich adults who return to the education sector, who have discontinued education years before, and those who have followed through with it and are normally younger? Or... does the learning style differ between adults and young people?

your signature
It's generally preferred to use wikilinks to link to pages inside wikipedia, rather than full URLs. It makes for shorter syntax and makes it clear to people that they're staying in wikipedia, rather than going to a random URL anywhere on the web. If you want any help setting up your signature, just drop a message on my talk page. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 05:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
