Talk:Ship replica

I just started this article. The featured ships I mainly found through Googling Wikipedia for 'ship replica'. As a result, most ships have a link and most ships are from Anglophone countries and the Netherlands. A general Google is desirable to give it a better balance.

f you put a ship replica here and start an article on it, please give it a link to here. DirkvdM 07:41, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Added the East Indiaman Götheborg --Dahlis 12:00, 2005 September 3 (UTC)

 * Should "genuine replica" read "generic replica?"--Danorton 23:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Order Ships
As the list is growing I would suggest to rankorder the replicas building dat of the original rather than current location. That way we see what bits of maritime history are now under investigation (e.g. Anc Egypt Ra2; 17th century, a number of VOC ships, etc). And which time periods are not represented. How do you think about that?Arnoutf 12:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps we should order the ship information in a table format; or add a list of ship replicas article. Below my suggestion for such a table. How do you think about this?

PS does anybody know how to center in wikitables and does anybody know how to make a hyperlinked image.Arnoutf 20:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for starting to work on this, I hope I may be able to contribute too. One thing to think about -- is it better now to move the list / table to a new page e.g. List of ship replicas as is done with other articles to avoid it becoming overlong ? --mervyn 12:57, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

 * May be a good idea; to move it to a list page. In that case we may want to expand the current intro of Ship Replica though. Arnoutf 14:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

What is meant by "Affiliation"? Flag (country) of original vessel, (or of replica)? Also, why do some say "private owner"? I know for a fact that neither Amistad or Lady Washington is owned privately. Pjbflynn 21:02, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I meant the contracter of the original ship (to show the shift in seapower over the centuries), but to be honest I can see the term is ambiguous, if you have a better idea please feel free to change; or perhapcs even delete the whole column and only leave original country, easier to maintain as well. Arnoutf 21:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Bias for renaissance/enlightenment vessels
I think there is a slight bias towards the ships of the 1600–1700's. I will try to add some ships of different era (e.g. Viking longships) to give a more extensive overview of the replcias all over the history of shipping.

e.g. from http://home.online.no/~joeolavl/viking/index.htm

Help is welcome Arnoutf 09:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I have a strong suspicion that any such bias in the list will be a result of a bias in the choosing of ships to replicate. There will be more from the era of first European exploration of the oceans and subsequent growth in size. After that, ships got more efficient, but if you want an efficient ship it makes more sense to build a modern one. DirkvdM 07:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * True but there are at least several more from the Viking age; didn't have time to chase those so far though. Arnoutf 08:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Order of Ships in new table
I decided to order the ships in the new table format on year of construction rather than Alphabetical (name giving being a fairly arbitrary way of ordering ships). The ordering by building year has several advantages. (1) The development of ship types over time is easily followed byseeing the ship type column evolve. (2) The rise (and fall) of naval powers is easily followed by seeing country flags appear and disappear over time in that column; the same goes for the rise and fall of enterprises. These two bits of (IMHO) interesting information on the flow of history is lost by ordering the ships alphabetically. I think, the small benefit of quick lookup does not weigh against that. Arnoutf 19:19, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Would seem to be a good idea -- not much point making a list just by ship name, because that can be found from the Category list. (Although at the moment there is no Ship replica category!!!). Though having said that, a simple list A-Z is still useful, because it points up the red links, like the List of museum ships. Another point is to think carefully before you embark on creating an elaborate list -- the more info and formatting in the list, the more difficult it is to maintain and to keep synched with the info in the Ship's own articles. --mervyn 13:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Ark of Noah replica's
On nl:Ark van Johan a new replica of the Ark of Noah is discussed. It also includes a replica in Maryland, USA. Could these be included in this article? Wiki-uk 17:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Would be fine with me, although it is built on conjecture rather than the original plans. Arnoutf 07:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

A couple more Aussie replicas
Brig Amity – in Albany, Western Australia. Buffalo – near Glenelg in Adelaide, South Australia. Adventure World, an amusement park in Perth also has a ride called "Bounty's Revenge". Although how much the ride actually resembles the actual Bounty is up for debate. Gemfyre (talk) 14:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

How could this be missed?
HMB Endevour replica should be added, built Fremantle, Western Australia, launched 1993, home port now Darling Harbour, Sydney, New South Wales. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.107.10 (talk) 10:10, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Why is Endeavour listed twice? I assume only one replica has been built. If no one responds, I will delete the second listing. HowardMorland (talk) 15:49, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Boston Tea Party ships
I've added in the two replica ships now at the Boston Tea Party Museum but I have a dilemma about the flags. Both sailed under there Red Ensign as members of the British Merchany Marine but were both actually owned by American colonial enterprises. What flag do I put in the Country column?

Hippomane

Hippomane is a genus of plants in the Euphorbiaceae described by Linnaeus in 1753. It is native to the West Indies, Central America, Mexico, Florida, Venezuela, Colombia, and Galápagos.

Derivation of name
The name of the genus references the Greek name hippomanes (applied by Theophrastus to an unidentified plant said to poison horses, sending them mad) - this being a compound of the Greek elements ἵππος (= ) horse and μανία (= mania) insanity / frenzy - hence "sending horses insane".

Talk:Kofi Annan/Archive 1

Secretariat?
Article says:
 * In the UN Secretariat, he served with the UN Economic Commission for Africa in Addis Ababa

I didn't think the ECOSOC Regional Commissions were part of the Secretariat.

Also, whoever put this up here, did you write it yourself? If so, congratulations on a very good article; but on the other hand if you copied it from somewhere, from where and did you get permission? --- Simon J Kissane

Yes, the staffs of the regional commissions are part of the UN Secretariat.

The biography is largely copied from the UN website, with minor editing. I used to work for the UN Department of Public Information and I know that they would be quite happy to see this material disseminated as widely as possible. We can't credit this to the UN, since there's no telling what changes others will make.

Thanks for your remarkably prompt additions to the Secretary-General article.

--- Frank Barabas, fbarabas@nyc.rr.org

Do you think that holds for other UN websites (e.g. someone earlier on copied from the International Court of Justice website, which I deleted because they hadn't asked for permission)? I suppose though it is better to ask anyway. --- Simon J Kissane

UN policy is that material appearing in their press releases -- and that is where the website text came from in this case -- may be freely used, preferably (but not necessarily) with attribution to the UN. Attribution would not be appropriate for material in Wikipedia, which can be changed by anyone. However, you have raised a good question, so I have e-mailed the UN with a query about reuse of material, with specific reference to the Annan biography. I shall let you know what answer I receive. In the meantime, I believe it's safe to leave the present article in place.

By the way, almost everything I have found on the Web about the work of the International Seabed Authority has come from its press releases, often word for word and almost always without attribution, and I assure you that the Authority is quite happy to see this material on the Web or in the press. By another way, the new Wikipedia article on the Authority is my own contribution and exists nowhere else.

Did he go to Minnesota or Switzerland? Clarify.

===Frank Barabas If we want to give attribution, maybe we could just say "This article was originally based on a United Nations press release", or something similar? Which would remain true even if someone later came along and changed the article. -- Simon J Kissane

That sounds like a good idea. Another possibility would be to include an external link to the original source. Does Wikipedia have a formula or policy on attribution in such cases?

Let's wait to hear the UN reply.--Frank Barabas

I just found the UN's reuse policy :

"Copyrights

"Most public information materials, including press releases, fact sheets and features, produced by the Department of Public Information are not copy righted and can be reproduced without prior permission. UN sales publications are copyrighted and thus require written permission for reproduction. Requests for permission to reproduce United Nations material should be directed to the Secretary of the Publications Board, Room L-382C, United Nations, New York, NY 10017. Fax : (212) 963- 0077."

That takes care of the Annan biography, to which I shall now add an external link to the original source.

As to the International Court of Justice, here is its policy :

"Information or data contained at this site may not be reproduced or used for commercial purposes."

If Wikipedia has no commercial purposes, it is in the clear.--Frank Barabas

Well, Wikipedia is not presently being used for commercial purposes; but it is distributed under a licence (GNU FDL) which requires commercial use to be permitted; and I think Bomis (the people who run the servers) are thinking of maybe putting advertising up to raise money in the distant future. So if it says no commercial use I don't think we can use it. -- Simon J Kissane

The information currently on the International Court of Justice page does not come from their site and so we are in the clear on that. The ICJ page's info was replaced with information from the U.S. Department of State site, which is in the public domain unless explicitly noted otherwise. The ICJ site was merely listed as an additional reference. --KQ

Image Copyright
Anonymous user 142.58.101.24 recently edited this article with the following summary: "returning original portrait. The UN does not have restrictions on the use of their official portraits of UN officials". I can't find any verification for that claim. It's contradicted by the UN site's copyright page (All rights reserved. None of the materials provided on this web site may be used, reproduced or transmitted, in whole or in part...), terms of use (grants permission to... download and copy the information, documents and materials... for the User's personal, non-commercial use, without any right to resell or redistribute them or to compile or create derivative...) , and the Information guide – already quoted above, but only covering "most public information materials" – (UN photographs are reproducible for editorial purposes only... There is a $50.00 charge, payable to the United Nations, for each UN photo used in publication, whether it is obtained from the Photo Library or downloaded from the UN Photo website.). Is there a disclaimer somewhere saying the Secretary-General's portrait is excluded from these restrictions? –Hajor 19:28, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Visits
Would this be a list of all his visits? http://www.un.org/News/ossg/sgtrips.htm I don't have time to copy all of that right now, but that would be useful for filling in that section...--Tothebarricades.tk 05:25, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The article says "Annan visited Japan first as UN Secretary-General to in February 2004." Is this saying: a) He first visited Japan as UN S-G in February 2004 b) He was the first UN S-G to visit Japan, and this happened in February 2004 c) both of the above d) something else I haven't edited the article as I'm not sure what the real facts are.

education information missing?
In 1958, Annan began studying economics at the University of Science and Technology in Kumasi. He received a Ford Foundation grant in 1961, enabling him to study at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, United States in 1961. There, Annan studied at the Institute for Advanced International Studies ("Institut universitaire des hautes études internationales") in Geneva, Switzerland, from 1961-62), later attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1971-72), where he graduated as a Sloan Fellow with a Master of Science degree in management.

...something missing?

 * Assuming 'there' should be 'then'. grendel|khan 18:24, 2004 Jul 14 (UTC)

He probably studied abroad while at Macalester (a very encouraged action by the college.)

Poop food?
"...once lead a successful student hunger strike for better school poop food."

I'm not familiar with this expression... could we reword it or otherwise clarify? Radagast 23:00, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

 * Haha, poop food. I'm guessing that was a poor attempt at vandalism. It's gone now. --Tothebarricades.tk 01:28, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

UN portrait
After adding the UN portrait, I noticed that (I think) it had already been debated and removed as a copyright infringement. (The "Image copyright" section above, though I don't know exactly what that was about.) However, I got it off the State Department website. Either the State Department's also violating copyright, or we can claim them as a source. Either way, it's okay to have that photo up, right? (Full information on the photo page.) grendel|khan 18:20, 2004 Jul 14 (UTC)

Iraq war
As it is a major part in Mr. Annan's recent history, shouldn't something be mentioned about his involvement in this crisis. I lack the knowledge I'm afraid.

Erolos 01:08, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I guess we also need more about what he's done in his time as Secretary-General. Unfortunately, it seems like work has stalled on this so far, and I'm not too sure of what to add now. Ambivalenthysteria 08:08, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Early life
My father was in the same year as Annan at Mfantsipim, and was quite a close friend Seeing that this article was named Article of the Week, I asked him to read the article through. In addition to a few minor changes he calls two statements into question:

 * When Annan's father retired... he was elected governor of Asante province.

Apparently no official of that kind (or at least by that name) existed at the time - does anyone have any information?

 * [Annan] once led a successful student hunger strike for better school food.

My father doesn't recall this particular incident! Again, are there any other sources?

-- Kwekubo 21:10, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The part where it says that Hannan became the most currupted UN chiefs in history sould definitivly be removed!

Kofi Annan's successor
Maybe Vaclav Havel?

Is there a source for this claim? CSTAR 06:49, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * It's informal talk so far - see e.g. this article in the Wall Street Journal

 * This particular WSJ online piece is written by Glenn Reynolds. However, I didn't see it  yesterday or today in the OpEd section of the print version of the WSJ, so I doubt the Havel-for-secretary-general movement has the official imprimatur of the WSJ.  I have no objection to making some comment, in the body of the article, with attribution to  Glenn Reynolds, that some have proposed Havel's candidacy. However, placing a prediction like this in a table at the bottom of the Annan article, even with a qualifier "maybe" is confusing.CSTAR 17:08, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Actually I expected that someone would erase this "maybe Havel" immediately. ;-) I am skeptical about this because of Havel's health which is rather poor. --Lumidek 18:37, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, I deleted it. It is not clear from your remark whether your edit was intended as a prank or whether you simply weren't prepared to expend the energy to negotiate a compromise to keep some reference to Havel as a possible successor to Annan. If this was a prank, note that I have nothing against the occasional harmless prank in real life (I went to school between Central and Porter squares,  so I'm aware of pranks at the other place), but given the level of destructive vandalism in WP, it's probably not a good idea here. CSTAR 23:11, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I find that other rumours mention a Thai, an Indian, and Bill Clinton. Anyway it's all highly speculative at this point. Charles Matthews 07:23, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Selection of quotes
Having just read the article I could not shake off the feeling that the quote on force and diplomacy was not Annan's — while the link undoubtfully proves that it is — until I recalled the well-known quote that prompted this feeling, attributed to Al Capone: “You can get [more or farther] with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.”

While the selection of quotes is definitely article author's choice, and recognizing that the guy really said that, I still think that encyclopaedia article is supposed to be as unbiased as possible towards the subject; but anyhow, my main intention was to point to the strong allusion the quote makes. If this was indeed an article writer's goal, then I take my hat off and step back into the shadow, but if not, then the choice of quotes certainly prompts rethinking.

[mailto:kkm@pobox.com -kkm]

Seventh or eight?
According to this page Koffi Annan is the seventh Secretary-General, accoring to United_Nations_Secretary-General he is the eight.

Which one is correct? Donar Reiskoffer 07:53, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * He's the seventh Secretary-General. Sir Gladwyn Jebb was just the acting Secretary-General until Trygve Lie became the first offical Secretary-General. Therefore, the count begins with Lie.  Lokifer 08:47, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

UN flag burning link
I am rather dismayed that the "UN Flag burning in NH over Kofi Annan" link added by RussellKanning on December 17 has been allowed to remain until now. In my opinion the page linked to is just a manifestation of hatred and doesn't really add anything to the subject. That article also seems to have been written by RussellKanning himself and the link appears to be cheap advertisement for his "movement".

IMO this should have no place in an encyclopedia. 23:43, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

NPOV dispute
I hate these dispute tags, in fact this is the first one I have added to an article. However the content of this article is very clearly lopsided. Almost all the material about Annan's UN career has to do with criticism or controversy over his decisions, performance, and character. It seems that all of his quotations were chosen to highlight what conservatives dislike about him, and while all the quotations "about" him are positive, they are all just expressing support for him in the face of criticism, which hardly says anything about the man himself.

I am tagging this article in hopes of drawing more some more balanced edits. I do not wish to get involved in this myself, however I am adding a single quotation. NTK 16:53, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Note, I do believe this article would be incomplete without discussion of some of the controversies concerning Annan, however they should not constitute the bulk of the article, and following convention, detailed criticisms should be relegated to a separate section, or if very lengthy, a separate page. NTK 17:04, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Very good point NTK. I agree with you. --Spinboy 06:24, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * This article will be very helpful when one of us get time to improve on the article's problem. Its a biography of his life as a UN employee.

Why is there nothing on the Oil/Food scandal? Is anyone paying attention to current events? How is this page's neutrality not disputed? -Haizum

Quote Request
I remember very fondly, during the 2004 olympics, there was a series of Advertisements and Annan was asked what is his olympic moment... and he said something along the lines of "not when at the finish line, not during the race, but before the starting is signalled: Because it is then that all countries are equal." I thought that was a very beautiful sentiment. I would be very grateful if someone could help source the exact quote and put it in the quote section. novacatz 05:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Henry Henshaw

Henry Wetherbee Henshaw (March 3, 1850 – August 1, 1930) was an American ornithologist and ethnologist. He worked at the U.S. Bureau of Ethnology from 1888 to 1892 and was editor of the journal American Anthropologist.

Early life
Henry Henshaw was born to William and Sarah Holden Wetherbee. He studied at Cambridge High School where he met William Brewster. In 1869 he was forced to give up school due to ill health, and went on a collecting trip to Louisiana. This marked the start of his career as a field naturalist.

In 1870 Henshaw traveled to Florida with naturalist Charles Johnson Maynard and artist Edwin Lord Weeks. In the same year he found the first Baird's sandpiper east of the Mississippi River, in Boston. It was through this discovery that Henshaw became known to the secretary of the Smithsonian, Spencer Baird. In 1872 he went to Utah as natural history collector on the Wheeler Survey, continuing until it merged with the United States Geological Survey in 1879.

Out West
In 1872 Henshaw went to Salt Lake City on the Wheeler Survey as a naturalist, and in 1874 had his most successful field expedition, going from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Gila River and south-western Arizona. There he met with the native Apaches, and caught specimens for the Smithsonian. In 1875, he returned to Washington, and was approached by John Wesley Powell of the Bureau of Ethnology. Along with C. Hart Merriam and Grove Karl Gilbert, Henshaw set out West on the United States Geological Survey, where in addition to his ornithological work, Henshaw worked on linguistics and anthropology, eventually compiling two volume book titled Handbook of North American Indians North of Mexico.

Hawaii
In 1894, in ill health after a severe attack of influenza that left him hospitalized, Henshaw moved to Hawaii with the express intent of becoming a citizen of the island nation, and in search of better health. There, he picked up photography. As his health returned, he returned to ornithology, especially related to birds of the Hilo area, where he lived, as well as those in the drier, higher elevations around Mauna Kea. He collected and preserved hundreds of specimens and published two works on Hawaiian birds. Viewing the mass extinction of birds in Hawaii would later make Henshaw a conservationist. He left Hawaii in 1904 to return to Washington, D.C.

Conservation
In 1910, Henshaw replaced his old friend C. Hart Merriam as the head of the U.S. Biological Survey. With new-found zeal, Henshaw began working for bird conservation, publishing Fifty Common Birds of Farm and Orchard, which sold 200,000 copies, in 1913. This publication caused Henshaw to be approached by Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor, who asked Henshaw if Fifty Common Birds of Farm and Orchard could be printed in the National Geographic Magazine. The end result of that publication was the National Geographic Field Guide to Birds of North America. While not working with the National Geographic, Henshaw lobbied, along with George Shiras, to pass the Weeks-McLean Act, otherwise known as the Migratory Bird Law. Henshaw handed Woodrow Wilson the pen with which Wilson signed the Act into law in 1913.

Later life
Henshaw retired in 1916, and lived in Washington, D.C. unmarried until the end of his days. In his old age he began studying algae. Henshaw died on August 1, 1930, aged 81.

Organizations
Henshaw was one of the founders of the Nuttall Ornithological Club in 1873, the American Ornithologists' Union in 1883, and the National Geographic Society in 1888.

Legacy
Henshaw is commemorated in the scientific name of a species of lizard, Xantusia henshawi.

Neoshirakia

Neoshirakia, known as milktree, is a genus of plants in the Euphorbiaceae, native to east Asia. It is part of a group first described in 1954 with the name Shirakia, but this proved to be an illegitimate name, unacceptable under the Code of Nomenclature. The genus was later divided, with its species distributed amongst three genera: Neoshirakia, Shirakiopsis, and Triadica. Neoshirakia contains only one known species, Neoshirakia japonica, known as tallow tree, native to China, Korea, and Japan (including Nansei-shotō). The name Shirakia thus became a synonym of Neoshirakia because S. japonica was the type species for that genus, the species now renamed N. japonica.

"Brief Description and Show Development" to "Series Overview"?
I renamed the "Brief Description and Show Development" section to "Series Overview"; do you think that new name looks more proper than the old name?
 * I think it's fine. Etacar11 21:32, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"Benson was an example of promise though her father was a serial rapist." I thought her mother was raped and she didn't know who here father was (except that he was a rapist|was he caught?).

"I'm Not Driving Anymore" as theme?
Towards the end of the page, there's a link about the "theme" of the show, "I'm Not Driving Anymore (Instrumental)" by Rob Dougan. But the theme to the show is a remix of the original "Law and Order" theme. Is this a mistake or does another country have a different theme than the US? TonicBH

This is a mistake. In all probability this theme is used in other countries. I will removed it. --ThomasK 03:32, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Actor overlap with Oz
There's a huge overlap from Oz to SVU - obviously with Meloni, but also BD Wong as a regular. Recurring and one-off guests include (from their Oz names, only):

- Schillinger (J.K Simmons) - Beecher (Lee Tergeson) - Ryan O'Reilly (Dean Winters) - Miguel Alvarez (Kirk Acevedo) - Stanislofsky (Phillip Casnoff)

Oh, and on and on. Anyone else notice this crossover? And if so, is it worth noting? KirkBroadhurst 10.47pm 7 August 2005 AEST
 * The crossover occurs because they are (mostly) all actors living in the New York area and both shows are shot there. A footnote in Trivia, maybe. --  Etacar11   14:06, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Season Episodes
Why were the season episode pages deleted? They went down just today
 * Yes, I was about to ask that very question. I find those pages very useful to keep track of which episodes I have seen while catching up on the show on USA. I have a feeling this has something do with some new dumb policy of getting rid of episodes guides because Wikipedia is underneath them or some such rot (as I saw over at the Day Break Discussion Page). Tehr 05:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * It says a copyright violation. (this one actually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CSD#G12) I dont understand why all these pages would be deleted when for the most part they were first hand accounts of the episodes.  Any way to get them back?

Stephanie March
Why did Stephanie March leave SVU? There appears to be no reason. --Kilo-Lima 18:46, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I think she thought she was on the cusp of a film or tv career (ala Jill Hennessey) and wanted wider exposure and different roles. This seems to be supported by her appearance in the Chris Rock movie (the one where he runs for President). Or it could of been another case of Dick Wolf calling a bluff on salary. That's happened a half-dozen times on his shows ;-) -- SeanO 00:09, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * To my understanding, she got tired of the character. Then, that leaves open the question as to why she returned in Conviction, though it is possible that she saw it as different, as much of it is focused on the ADAs.  On Conviction, she was also a Bureau Chief, so it was rare that she served as an active prosecutor; she was responsible for overseeing many of the prosecutors, but it was n't common for her to actually prosecute cases, least not small ones, as a Bureau Chief. Michael 03:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * From what I remember when her departure was first announced, it was stated that she was interested in pursuing film projects. There were rumors she was about to be cast in the Fantastic Four film, which clearly did not happen. Believing that there were a number of film projects she was missing out on by continuing to act on SVU, she chose to leave. I do not believe Dick Wolf pushed her out, since he pursued her for SVU in the first place. He also made a statement around the same time saying that Stephanie was always welcome to come back to SVU at any point, that the door was always open for her. He did not do this for many of his other actresses who played lawyers on L&O. Kris 16:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)kc12286

69.196.213.125
This IP keeps editing in information without adding context, significance, or wikilinks. Any ideas? I'm not sure how a CTV broadcasting the show in a different aspect ratio is that noteworthy.

Also: ''The current season, numbered 7, premiered on 20 September 2005. On January 3, 2006, the show changed to widescreen format on the CTV network in Canada. (Please mention it somewhere in the page)'' is very bad form. --sigmafactor 03:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

International airings
Not sure if someone wants to edit the page for this;

Currently under the International heading the show is described as being broadcast first on Five, with repeats on Hallmark.

Hallmark actually air the show first, and are due to start showing season seven in the next few weeks. Five are near the end of season three. Both frequently show repeats of the show - not just Hallmark, as the page also mentions.

Also, as I'm sure there is with a few broadcasters, Hallmark use the original titles (and boast that nothing about the show is changed from the original production), whereas Five drop the opening title, going straight to the opening scene. The titles are then in the style of the other L&O franchises on the channel, using a heavier version of the Rob Dougan track I'm Not Driving Anymore, which is also used for the original and Criminal Intent.

Didn't want to start editing the page if it isn't worthy of it.

Trivia: Missing Baby
This is a response to those who are questioning the following Trivia information:

In 2003, Law & Order: SVU attracted some heavy criticism from the Media in Australia, where a baby girl was kidnapped similar to an episode of Law & Order shown a week earlier. The baby girl was kidnapped in a shopping mall, whose hair was cut and clothes changed to avoid attention and disguise her (as done in an episode in SVU). The baby girl was found later and safely returned. After the event, Australian Police have stated that criminals have gotten smarter from watching crime shows.

Although it is noted that this type of situation is an urban legend, this event did happen. Unfortunately, since the event occurred a long time ago, it has been virutally impossible to retrieve any reliable internet sources. I plan to search through Sydney Morning Herald databases from 2002 later on and cite from that.

If you have a SMH database from 2002, look through it and see if you can find it. Also, if one does find it, how do you cite it? Do you take a print screen? --Taipan198 07:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

New Partner
Doesn't Olivia have a new partner in the new episodes? I won't edit, but doesn't she?
 * Ummm...The new season didn't begin yet. Due to the fact that some shows are currently being taped while she is on maternity leave, some of the shows next season will include another detective alongside Stabler.  I don't know what you're talking about. Michael 04:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Connie Nielsen will have a six-episode arc as Warrant Officer Dani Beck. Mariska Hargitay and her character, Detective Olivia Benson, will be appearing in the first two episodes of Season 8, scheduled to premiere on September 19, 2006, after which Benson will go undercover (I believe).  Nielsen and her Beck character will be in Episodes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the new season, and Hargitay and her Benson character will return for Episode 9.  The first two episodes of the new season were already taped before Mariska went on maternity leave.  That is the reason that things are happening like they are.  GOYANKSGONJ 20:35, 23 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Indeed... Michael 05:14, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Cast pictures and Plot Inspirations
Is it really necessary to have three separate pictures of the show's cast? The most current one should be sufficient, with explanations in the article of who's come and gone since the series' beginning.

Also, I think the Plot Inspirations section could benefit from some reformatting, or even Wikitabling, since "The Season X episode" is really redundant. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 04:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree about the pictures. We should include them for the purpose of showing the entire cast at different times. Michael 04:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I think I have to agree that the many photos are a bit much. Law & Order's article features only a picture of the current cast and the Criminal Intent article features only a cast of the original cast and the current cast. Too many photos distracts from the article. Redfarmer (talk)

"Other guest stars"
The subsection on other guest stars really seems to be getting out of control. Certainly, some of these guest stars are more important or significant than others, yes? But, a long list, without any explanation, and not in chronological order, does not seem terribly helpful. Any thoughts? ---Charles 02:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Olivia returns next week
Yep it's true, but whats weird is i thought the 6 episodes were in chronological order. Its only been four weeks so far. Also, Olivia has long hair.
 * That was an old episode. The new one is next week. Michael 13:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

She only returned last night for the one episode, she will be away for at least two more -Sterling Williamson 72.241.12.73 22:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

wondering..
I don't watch this show all the time, but now and then I see an episode, and I know that Olivia is partner with that other guy, can't remember his name. But then I saw an episode on USA, seems rather newer cuz of hair styles, and in it Olivia and the guy are no longer partners and it seems as if something happen between them and now they are not soo good of friends. So... my questions is.. what did I miss?? Why aren't they friends any more? :)

Svetlana Miljkovic 05:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC) Olivia refused to shoot someone who was holding a gun to Eliot's head, because she realized she actually has feelings (sexual or not is questionable) for him, and would never want to see him die. Eliot finds this to be bad form for an officer, realizes that they mean too much to eachother and Olivia asks to be reassigned. She was on maternity leave for 6 episodes, and now Connie Neilsen is Eliot's new partner. I can't wait until she leaves.75.67.237.192 06:06, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

alleged rape?
How can a fictional rape be "alleged"? Nobody's on trial. Olivia's mother was raped. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TaylorTeach (talk • contribs) 03:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Olivia herself questioned whether or not her mother was really raped, or if it was consensual. This was last season, during the episodes when she learned who her father's identity and met her brother. I can't remember at the moment if there was enough evidence to know for sure, so long after the fact. AnmaFinotera (talk) 03:59, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

'Controversial Subject Matter'
Unless there's a specific citation, I think this section should be deleted, given all other three Law & Orders have featured rape, child abuse and all the 'hot button' issues listed - it's certainly not unique, beyond the fact that SVU (used to) focus on the first two almost exclusively. 124.187.212.9 (talk) 23:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series
I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help.

16th Precinct
What is the source for saying that the show is set in the fictional 16th precinct? I always had the impression that the SVU unit depicted in the series has jurisdiction for all of Manhattan. They also refer to the SVU of other boroughs; for example Chester Lake (Law & Order) had previously been assigned to "Brooklyn SVU". --Mathew5000 (talk) 12:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The name 16th precinct was used for the unit extensively in the first season. Redfarmer (talk) 19:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

New ADA - Pietta O'Mara?

Dani Beck, Junior Detective
Under the Junior Detective catagory with Monique Jeffries also has Dani Beck for season 8, i think Dani Beck should go in the catagory for Junior Detective with Oliva Benson for season 8, because that's who Dani Beck replaced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.33.54 (talk) 22:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Olivia: Junior or Senior?
A user seems bent on making Olivia a senior detective. However, throughout the first season, she was consistently referred to as Elliott's "junior partner." Nothing in the subsequent seasons has suggested this has changed and any speculation outside the series would be a violation of WP:OR. This is consistent with the other L&O series. Remember, Goren is still the junior detective on CI after all these years (this was confirmed in a recent episode).

I would suggest the burden of proof that Olivia is a senior detective now is on the person who keeps changing her title. If you can provide evidence, please do so. Otherwise, please quit engaging in OR. Redfarmer (talk) 04:18, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I just reverted the same edit again. I agree with the comments from Redfarmer above. Unless there is proof that Benson is a Senior Detective she should remain as junior. Jonesy (talk) 09:44, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Brief nudity
I read on many credible websites that the show has brief nudity scenes. Now seeing it myself I did notice side shots of breasts and bottom. Even the episode with Robin Williams you could see a partial nipple (of an assumed underage girl), I know I also read about it so I am not the only one to mention it. I think if anyone else finds those articles, it should be in the text. --98.172.115.234 (talk) 02:27, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Abbie Carmichael A.D.A. Season 1
I believe instead of having "Various" for A.D.A during season 1, it should be changed to Abbie Carmichael (Angie Harmon), because it even says it in Abbie Carmichael's wikipedia profile that she is the A.D.A for season 1 in SVU and she stays until she is replaced by Cabot in Season 2.
 * This is inaccurate as anyone who has watched the complete first season can attest. She was only ADA in eight episodes, the last of which was the mid-season crossover. The rest of the time a number of ADAs filled the position. Since she was not even ADA for the majority of episodes of the season, I strongly object to this change. Redfarmer (talk) 09:33, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Brian Cassidy and Monique Jeffries
I think Brian Cassidy (Dean Winters) and Monique Jeffries (Michelle Hurd) should be in the same area "Junior Detective" for the Characters chart. After Brian Cassidy left, Monique Jeffries took over and they did not serve simaltanoiusly in SVU so they should be in the same collum. I'm not an expert at doing this and I would like someone who knows more about the charts to do it.

 * From April to November 2003, Fred Dalton Thompson (District Attorney Arthur Branch) was a recurring guest star on this series while simultaneously being a regular cast member on Law & Order.

I cannot the benefit of that being that more significant; Dianne Wiest and Steven Hill made appearences on the show, along with Jerry Orbach and others; FDT is already mentioned in the above section, with Jesse L. Martin and the afomentioned Wiest.--Roadrunner3000 20:23, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Stephanie March's return delayed
It says that Stephanie March's return to SVU was delayed from Feb. 17 because of a "Dateline NBC" episode. The source cited does not fit with this information; it also says the 17th, as do the other sites I have found. Where's the source for this? Is it even true? Southeasttitan (talk) 02:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad you brought this up and I'm backing you up with edits. Not only is there no cite to link as a reference, but it's completely irrelevant. Delays in a scheduled episode and the "usual format" for a "Dateline" episode have nothing to do with Stephanie March returning to the show. I have removed this extraneous (and, I might add, very unclear and poorly written text) from the article and also merged the statement into the A.D.A. paragraph above and removed the also irrelevant mention of March's guest appearance on "Conviction", as this also has no bearing on the topic of this page. While it certainly would belong in an article about March (or possibly, "Conviction", it has no place here. Hope this doesn't step on any toes.

Rewrite
Just to give everyone a heads up, I'm about to start a major rewrite of the article. I believe this article has the potential to eventually be a featured article, but it needs extensive help, and I do foresee needing to delete entire sections as original research. If anyone has any questions about any of the changes, please feel free to ask me here or on my talk page. Redfarmer (talk) 00:22, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

 * If you can find sources, fine. Otherwise, your suggestion would violate the policy of no original research. Redfarmer (talk) 13:09, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

 * No original research? YOU said that YOU wanted to rewrite the article. The anon editor made a suggestion to you on something to include. Either YOU include it and YOU find sources, or you tell him/her that you don't want to add that. Don't prance in here and say that you are rewriting the article and then tell people that they need to find sources for recommendations they make to you. YOU are rewriting the article. And it's no secret that L&O SVU has strayed off the deep end. Just ask the "reproductive abusers". Primium mobile (talk) 13:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Redfarmer said he was rewriting the article, not adding to it. He said if anyone had any questions on his changes, to let him know here or on his talk page.  He wasn't on here taking taking a question and answer on what to include. Editors are encouraged to be bold, not rely on everybody else to do the work. And god, this was a year and half ago, and Redfamer is retired... chill out. — Mike   Allen   03:38, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I know it was a year and a half ago. I can read too. And I also know that he is retired. This is for the benefit of anyone else who wants to do a "rewrite". Don't mistake my candor for a lack of "chill". It's very annoying how high-brow so many editors are on this site. The guy gave a suggestion. Redfarmer said he was going to do a REWRITE. That means adding additional, relevant information. This particular editor had a habit of being very protective of his pages and he would have not taken kindly to another editor taking the be bold suggestion to heart. I, however; am perfectly ok with editors being protective of their pages, so long as they are open to suggestions and don't just dismiss another, obviously new, editor's suggestion with the wave of a hand. A "complete rewrite" is a lot of work. If any editor isn't prepared to do a lot of work, then they shouldn't be trying to do a "complete rewrite" In doing all that work, it wouldn't have killed Redfarmer to tell this guy where to find information on what sources are acceptable. It would have taken him exactly as long as it took him to type out the no original research. He didn't do it because he, like most other long time editors on this site, are very hostile to newcomers. And it annoys the crap out of me. But my temperature is just fine. I'm annoyed, not angry. Primium mobile (talk) 21:53, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

 * It's also unrealistic in its portrayal of courtroom issues. I watched an episode the other day which showed a technical expert doing a bad job on the witness stand -- the prosecuting attorney did nothing to counter the impression left by the pro se defendant -- and a pair of final statements based on emotional i.e. pejorative issues in which the prosecuting attorney failed to trace the chain of evidence.  She wouldn't be a prosecuting attorney for long with a foul up like that.

bad syntax
"After starring in the Dick Wolf-produced Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and guest starring as Detective Chester Lake in the eighth season, Wolf felt that Adam Beach would be a good addition to the cast and asked him to be a permanent member beginning with the ninth season" The gerund phrase at the start of a sentence always refers to the subject of the dominant clause; in this case it would mean that Wolf started in "Bury My Heart." If he didn't star in the film he produced, rewrite this sentence to get rid of the gerund so you can see how to phrase what you really meant. 4.249.63.42 (talk) 13:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Per WP:MOSINTRO, the information in the lead of articles should be a summation of important points in the rest of the article. I'm willing to allow the two new leads to stay, but B.D. Wong's departure and the return of March and Neal (especially since no one knows how many episodes they will be in yet, per WP:CRYSTAL), are not important points in the article and are accurately reflected in their respective sections (i.e. they are no more important than other departures and additions over the course of the series).

Jean-Baptiste Le Prince

Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Le Prince (September 17, 1734 – September 30, 1781 ) was an important French etcher and painter. Le Prince first studied painting techniques in his native Metz. He then travelled to Paris around 1750 after being sponsored by Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet de Belle-Isle and became a leading student of the great painter, François Boucher. Le Prince's early paintings in both theme and style are comparable to his master's rococo techniques. He was the half-brother of French author Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont.

In 1758, Le Prince journeyed to Russia to work for Catherine the Great at the Imperial Palace, St. Petersburg, under Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli. He remained in Russia for five years and also travelled extensively throughout Finland, Lithuania, and even Siberia. When Le Prince returned to Paris in December 1763, he brought with him an extensive collection of drawings which he employed as the basis for a number of fine paintings and etchings. J. B. Le Prince was elected a full member of the Académie de peinture et de sculpture in 1765.

Le Prince's graphic art of Russia and its peoples is significant in that he based his compositions entirely upon his own designs, lending a much more realistic portrayal to his views than other eighteenth century contemporaries. He is also credited with being the first artist (in 1768) to introduce aquatint into his etched and engraved plates. He may even have been the inventor of aquatint, the tonal graphic art that would later be so skillfully used by such masters as Goya, Louis-Philibert Debucourt, Delacroix and Thomas Rowlandson.

Brasseries de Bourbon

The Brasseries de Bourbon ("Breweries of Bourbon") is the only major producer of beer on Réunion Island, formerly known as Bourbon Island, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean.

History
The Brasseries de Bourbon was born out of three companies founded by Vernon King Stevenson: The SOREG (Société Réunionnaise des Eaux gazeuses), first manufacturer of Coca-Cola on the Réunion Island founded in 1958; Brasseries de Bourbon founded in 1962; Bourbon Distribution Service founded in 1983. In 1986 Heineken became the majority shareholder of the three companies. In 1994, the three companies merged to form the Groupe Brasseries de Bourbon.

In 2011, the company launched an advertising campaign to fight the competition of imported Coca-Cola from African and Asian manufacturers which cannibalized the Brasseries' Coca-Cola sales.

In 2014, the Brasseries de Bourbon launched the premium beer brand Héritage de Bourbon. In 2017, the Brasseries de Bourbon launched its first line of non-alcoholic beers. That same year, the company broke the Guinness World Records of the longest picnic table (322.42 metres) in a move to promote its Dodo beer.

Description
The first product of the Brasseries de Bourbon, and by far now their most sold and widely known, is the blonde lager Bourbon, known popularly as Dodo, named after the now extinct bird of Mauritius. Its logo of a smiling dodo and the creole slogan la dodo lé la (the dodo is here) are found painted on the walls of establishments selling the beer. Since 1996, the group has also produced some white and reddish beers. In addition, it also imports and bottles a variety of other drinks.

Brasseries de Bourbon is also the manufacturer and distributor of Coca-Cola and Orangina in the Réunion Island.

Roop County, Nevada

Roop County, known until 1862 as Lake County, was a county of Nevada Territory in the United States from 1861 until 1864. It was created in 1861 as one of the original nine counties of Nevada. In 1864 it was succeeded by Lassen County, California and Washoe County, Nevada.

History
In March 1861, Congress created the official Nevada Territory, with the Honey Lake Valley and the area to its north included within its provisional bounds. When this occurred, the border between Nevada and California was poorly defined in Nevada's Organic Act. Later in 1861, Lake County was established in northwestern Nevada, creating a boundary dispute with California. Its name was chosen due to the many lakes in the area, including Honey Lake, Pyramid Lake, and Winnemucca Lake. In 1862 it was renamed Roop County after Isaac Roop, governor of the unofficial "Provisional Territorial Government of Nevada Territory," which had previously existed in the same area. Much of Roop County, including Susanville (named after Roop's daughter), was claimed by California as part of Plumas County. This led to an armed conflict known as the Sagebrush War, the War of Injunctions or the Roop County War.

This resulted in the appointment of a joint California–Nevada boundary survey, with Surveyor-General J. F. Houghton acting for the State of California and Butler Ives, for the Territory of Nevada. The final surveyors report, accepted by California on April 4, 1864, and by Nevada on February 7, 1865, proved that the Honey Lake area and virtually all the population of Roop County was in California. The California portion of Roop County became part of the newly created Lassen County, California, in 1864. The remainder was ceded to Washoe County, Nevada.
