Talk:Needle and syringe programmes

Potential new article on needle and syringe exchange programs in the U.S.
Hello all! I am considering creating a new child article that would elaborate on syringe exchange as a movement and programming within the U.S. I think this would be an efficient way to make sure state- and city-level data stays up to date since the U.S. is such a large and politically diverse place. If anyone has thoughts or suggestions please leave a comment on my talk page. Skyef25 (talk) 00:46, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Conserved sequence

Histone Alignment.png of five mammalian histone H1 proteins

Sequences are the amino acids for residues 120-180 of the proteins. Residues that are conserved across all sequences are highlighted in grey. Below each site (i.e., position) of the protein sequence alignment is a key denoting conserved sites (*), sites with conservative replacements, sites with semi-conservative replacements (.), and sites with non-conservative replacements. ]]

In evolutionary biology, conserved sequences are identical or similar sequences in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) or proteins across species (orthologous sequences), or within a genome (paralogous sequences), or between donor and receptor taxa (xenologous sequences). Conservation indicates that a sequence has been maintained by natural selection.

A highly conserved sequence is one that has remained relatively unchanged far back up the phylogenetic tree, and hence far back in geological time. Examples of highly conserved sequences include the RNA components of ribosomes present in all domains of life, the homeobox sequences widespread amongst eukaryotes, and the tmRNA in bacteria. The study of sequence conservation overlaps with the fields of genomics, proteomics, evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, bioinformatics and mathematics.

History
The discovery of the role of DNA in heredity, and observations by Frederick Sanger of variation between animal insulins in 1949, prompted early molecular biologists to study taxonomy from a molecular perspective. Studies in the 1960s used DNA hybridization and protein cross-reactivity techniques to measure similarity between known orthologous proteins, such as hemoglobin and cytochrome c. In 1965, Émile Zuckerkandl and Linus Pauling introduced the concept of the molecular clock, proposing that steady rates of amino acid replacement could be used to estimate the time since two organisms diverged. While initial phylogenies closely matched the fossil record, observations that some genes appeared to evolve at different rates led to the development of theories of molecular evolution. Margaret Dayhoff's 1966 comparison of ferredoxin sequences showed that natural selection would act to conserve and optimise protein sequences essential to life.

Mechanisms
Over many generations, nucleic acid sequences in the genome of an evolutionary lineage can gradually change over time due to random mutations and deletions. Sequences may also recombine or be deleted due to chromosomal rearrangements. Conserved sequences are sequences which persist in the genome despite such forces, and have slower rates of mutation than the background mutation rate.

Conservation can occur in coding and non-coding nucleic acid sequences. Highly conserved DNA sequences are thought to have functional value, although the role for many highly conserved non-coding DNA sequences is poorly understood. The extent to which a sequence is conserved can be affected by varying selection pressures, its robustness to mutation, population size and genetic drift. Many functional sequences are also modular, containing regions which may be subject to independent selection pressures, such as protein domains.

Coding sequence
In coding sequences, the nucleic acid and amino acid sequence may be conserved to different extents, as the degeneracy of the genetic code means that synonymous mutations in a coding sequence do not affect the amino acid sequence of its protein product.

Amino acid sequences can be conserved to maintain the structure or function of a protein or domain. Conserved proteins undergo fewer amino acid replacements, or are more likely to substitute amino acids with similar biochemical properties. Within a sequence, amino acids that are important for folding, structural stability, or that form a binding site may be more highly conserved.

The nucleic acid sequence of a protein coding gene may also be conserved by other selective pressures. The codon usage bias in some organisms may restrict the types of synonymous mutations in a sequence. Nucleic acid sequences that cause secondary structure in the mRNA of a coding gene may be selected against, as some structures may negatively affect translation, or conserved where the mRNA also acts as a functional non-coding RNA.

Non-coding
Non-coding sequences important for gene regulation, such as the binding or recognition sites of ribosomes and transcription factors, may be conserved within a genome. For example, the promoter of a conserved gene or operon may also be conserved. As with proteins, nucleic acids that are important for the structure and function of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) can also be conserved. However, sequence conservation in ncRNAs is generally poor compared to protein-coding sequences, and base pairs that contribute to structure or function are often conserved instead.

Identification
Conserved sequences are typically identified by bioinformatics approaches based on sequence alignment. Advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing and protein mass spectrometry has substantially increased the availability of protein sequences and whole genomes for comparison since the early 2000s.

Homology search
Conserved sequences may be identified by homology search, using tools such as BLAST, HMMER, OrthologR, and Infernal. Homology search tools may take an individual nucleic acid or protein sequence as input, or use statistical models generated from multiple sequence alignments of known related sequences. Statistical models such as profile-HMMs, and RNA covariance models which also incorporate structural information, can be helpful when searching for more distantly related sequences. Input sequences are then aligned against a database of sequences from related individuals or other species. The resulting alignments are then scored based on the number of matching amino acids or bases, and the number of gaps or deletions generated by the alignment. Acceptable conservative substitutions may be identified using substitution matrices such as PAM and BLOSUM. Highly scoring alignments are assumed to be from homologous sequences. The conservation of a sequence may then be inferred by detection of highly similar homologs over a broad phylogenetic range.

Multiple sequence alignment

Multiple sequence alignments can be used to visualise conserved sequences. The CLUSTAL format includes a plain-text key to annotate conserved columns of the alignment, denoting conserved sequence (*), conservative mutations, semi-conservative mutations (.), and non-conservative mutations Sequence logos can also show conserved sequence by representing the proportions of characters at each point in the alignment by height.

Genome alignment

Whole genome alignments (WGAs) may also be used to identify highly conserved regions across species. Currently the accuracy and scalability of WGA tools remains limited due to the computational complexity of dealing with rearrangements, repeat regions and the large size of many eukaryotic genomes. However, WGAs of 30 or more closely related bacteria (prokaryotes) are now increasingly feasible.

Scoring systems
Other approaches use measurements of conservation based on statistical tests that attempt to identify sequences which mutate differently to an expected background (neutral) mutation rate.

The GERP (Genomic Evolutionary Rate Profiling) framework scores conservation of genetic sequences across species. This approach estimates the rate of neutral mutation in a set of species from a multiple sequence alignment, and then identifies regions of the sequence that exhibit fewer mutations than expected. These regions are then assigned scores based on the difference between the observed mutation rate and expected background mutation rate. A high GERP score then indicates a highly conserved sequence.

LIST (Local Identity and Shared Taxa) is based on the assumption that variations observed in species closely related to human are more significant when assessing conservation compared to those in distantly related species. Thus, LIST utilizes the local alignment identity around each position to identify relevant sequences in the multiple sequence alignment (MSA) and then it estimates conservation based on the taxonomy distances of these sequences to human. Unlike other tools, LIST ignores the count/frequency of variations in the MSA.

Aminode combines multiple alignments with phylogenetic analysis to analyze changes in homologous proteins and produce a plot that indicates the local rates of evolutionary changes. This approach identifies the Evolutionarily Constrained Regions in a protein, which are segments that are subject to purifying selection and are typically critical for normal protein function.

Other approaches such as PhyloP and PhyloHMM incorporate statistical phylogenetics methods to compare probability distributions of substitution rates, which allows the detection of both conservation and accelerated mutation. First, a background probability distribution is generated of the number of substitutions expected to occur for a column in a multiple sequence alignment, based on a phylogenetic tree. The estimated evolutionary relationships between the species of interest are used to calculate the significance of any substitutions (i.e. a substitution between two closely related species may be less likely to occur than distantly related ones, and therefore more significant). To detect conservation, a probability distribution is calculated for a subset of the multiple sequence alignment, and compared to the background distribution using a statistical test such as a likelihood-ratio test or score test. P-values generated from comparing the two distributions are then used to identify conserved regions. PhyloHMM uses hidden Markov models to generate probability distributions. The PhyloP software package compares probability distributions using a likelihood-ratio test or score test, as well as using a GERP-like scoring system.

Ultra-conserved elements
Ultra-conserved elements or UCEs are sequences that are highly similar or identical across multiple taxonomic groupings. These were first discovered in vertebrates, and have subsequently been identified within widely-differing taxa. While the origin and function of UCEs are poorly understood, they have been used to investigate deep-time divergences in amniotes, insects, and between animals and plants.

Universally conserved genes
The most highly conserved genes are those that can be found in all organisms. These consist mainly of the ncRNAs and proteins required for transcription and translation, which are assumed to have been conserved from the last universal common ancestor of all life.

Genes or gene families that have been found to be universally conserved include GTP-binding elongation factors, Methionine aminopeptidase 2, Serine hydroxymethyltransferase, and ATP transporters. Components of the transcription machinery, such as RNA polymerase and helicases, and of the translation machinery, such as ribosomal RNAs, tRNAs and ribosomal proteins are also universally conserved.

Phylogenetics and taxonomy
Sets of conserved sequences are often used for generating phylogenetic trees, as it can be assumed that organisms with similar sequences are closely related. The choice of sequences may vary depending on the taxonomic scope of the study. For example, the most highly conserved genes such as the 16S RNA and other ribosomal sequences are useful for reconstructing deep phylogenetic relationships and identifying bacterial phyla in metagenomics studies. Sequences that are conserved within a clade but undergo some mutations, such as housekeeping genes, can be used to study species relationships. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, which is required for spacing conserved rRNA genes but undergoes rapid evolution, is commonly used to classify fungi and strains of rapidly evolving bacteria.

Medical research
As highly conserved sequences often have important biological functions, they can be useful a starting point for identifying the cause of genetic diseases. Many congenital metabolic disorders and Lysosomal storage diseases are the result of changes to individual conserved genes, resulting in missing or faulty enzymes that are the underlying cause of the symptoms of the disease. Genetic diseases may be predicted by identifying sequences that are conserved between humans and lab organisms such as mice or fruit flies, and studying the effects of knock-outs of these genes. Genome-wide association studies can also be used to identify variation in conserved sequences associated with disease or health outcomes. More than two dozen novel potential susceptibility loci have been discovered for Alzehimer's disease.

Functional annotation
Identifying conserved sequences can be used to discover and predict functional sequences such as genes. Conserved sequences with a known function, such as protein domains, can also be used to predict the function of a sequence. Databases of conserved protein domains such as Pfam and the Conserved Domain Database can be used to annotate functional domains in predicted protein coding genes.

Suya

Suya is traditional smoked spiced meat skewer which originates from Nigeria, and is a popular food item across West Africa. Suya is a large part of Hausa culture and food and is traditionally prepared and made by Hausa men, thus called 'Mai nama'. Suya is generally made with skewered beef, ram, or chicken. Organ meats such as kidney, liver and tripe are also used. The thinly sliced meat is marinated in various spices, which include traditional Hausa dehydrated peanut cookie called 'kwulikwuli', salt, vegetable oil and other spices and flavorings, and then barbecued. There are many variation of Suya in traditional Hausa cooking (such as Balangu, Kilishi etc..), but the most popular being suya. Suya is traditionally served with an extra helpings of mixed dried pepper, traditional hausa spices, and sliced onions. It is also traditionally served in Hausa culture with a side serving of Hausa Masa (fermented rice/grain/corn cakes). Halal meat preparation methods are normally used, especially in the northern parts of Nigeria where it originates as is customary with traditional Hausa foods, where the suspicion of nonconformity to Muslim dietary prohibitions in Suya preparation has been known to cause riots. A dried version of Suya is called Kilishi. It can be eaten with Masa, Kosai, Garri or Ogi. There is no standard recipe for composing the complex mixture of spices and additives which make up the Suya marinade (called Yaji) and the spice mix served alongside it. Ingredients may vary according to personal and regional preferences.

Although Suya is a traditional Hausa Nigerian dish, it has permeated the Nigerian society, being affordable for all and available everywhere. It has been called a unifying factor in Nigeria. Suya has become a Nigerian national dish, with different regions claiming the superiority of their recipe and methods of preparation, but similar grilled meat recipes are common in many West African countries.

List of Oakland Athletics broadcasters

This is a list of Oakland Athletics broadcasters. Broadcasters for Oakland Athletics, a baseball franchise based in Oakland, California, include three broadcasters for radio (Ken Korach, Vince Cotroneo, and Roxy Bernstein), three broadcasters for television (Jenny Cavnar, Dallas Braden, Chris Caray), and one stadium announcer (Amelia Schimmel). There are also many past broadcasters, dating back to at least 1938 when Byrum Saam became the Philadelphia Athletics' first radio voice.

Radio
Oakland Athletics' games in the Bay Area are broadcast on KNEW. Outside the Bay Area, the A's radio network of 18 stations (three of them nights and weekends only) reach baseball fans in Northern California and Nevada. The team also has an in-market online radio station branded as A's Cast which is available on iHeartRadio.

As of 2022, the Athletics' radio broadcast team consists of Ken Korach, Vince Cotroneo and Roxy Bernstein. Korach, A's play-by-play announcer since 1996, moved up to the lead position with the death of Bill King. Cotroneo has had 13 years of major-league experience, most recently with the Texas Rangers. King, who died on October 18, 2005, was the lead radio voice of the Athletics for 25 years, from 1981 through 2005, the longest tenure for an A's announcer since the team's games were first broadcast in 1938 (they were the Philadelphia Athletics from 1901 to 1954, and the Kansas City Athletics from 1955 to 1967, before owner Charles O. Finley moved them to Oakland). King was paired in the booth with Lon Simmons from 1981 through 1995. Former A's catcher Ray Fosse served as the broadcast team's analyst from 1986 to 2021. For several years starting in 2001, Steve Bitker served as a back-up play-by-play announcer, averaging about 20 games per season. He had limited appearances in 2006, filling in when Korach was on vacation.

Robert Buan held the position of Athletics' broadcasting manager from 1995 to 2010. He also hosted the "Extra Innings" postgame radio talk show, which fans called to talk about the A's with Buan or a guest. The show often emanated from the stadium or in a studio, and certain select ones were broadcast from local bars or restaurants before a live audience. He also did Internet-only play-by-play of spring training games. He was succeeded by Chris Townsend and Rick Tittle.

King, a native of Bloomington, Illinois, was perhaps the most well-known sports announcer in the Bay Area, having previously handled play-by-play work for football's Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders (1966–1992) and basketball's San Francisco and Golden State Warriors (1962–1983). His trademark catchphrase "Holy Toledo!" was familiar to Northern California sports fans for over forty years. King and his fellow Athletics radio announcers, Ken Korach and Ray Fosse, were ranked as the second-best broadcast team in the American League by USA Today in 2005.

Television
A's games are telecast on NBC Sports California.

From 1986 to 2021, former major league catcher, Ray Fosse analyzed the games. When not doing so in the television booth, Fosse added to the radio broadcast team. Chris Townsend hosts "A's Cast Live", the A's Radio Network pre- and postgame shows, and is an in-studio host for NBC Sports California for select broadcasts.

In August 2021, Fosse announced that he battled cancer for the past 16 years, and that he would 'take a step away' from broadcasting effective immediately in order to concentrate on his fight against the disease. Fosse died on October 13, 2021.

In 2024, the Athletics hired Jenny Cavnar to be their play-by-play announcer, making her the first female full-time play-by-play announcer in MLB.

Stadium announcer
As of March 9, 2021, Amelia Schimmel is the Athletics' official stadium announcer at RingCentral Coliseum.

Roy Steele was the Athletics' official stadium announcer at the Coliseum every year since the team's move to Oakland in 1968. His booming baritone voice has earned him the Voice of God moniker among A's fans, although it was first bestowed upon him by sports announcer Jon Miller after a visit to the Coliseum as a fan sitting in the stands. Steele had been an independent Baptist minister for 17 years before being named stadium announcer and finds the name "a little overpowering". From 1968 through 2004, Steele had missed fewer than ten home games, but in September 2005, an illness (achalasia, a rare disorder of the esophagus) prevented him from announcing several games including most of the final homestand. The 73-year-old Steele was ill for most 2006, and remained at his home in Auburn while recovering. His interim replacement was Dick Callahan, who also announced for the Golden State Warriors. Steele returned behind the microphone beginning with the A's exhibition game vs. the Giants on April 1, 2007. However, health issues sidelined Steele for the entire 2009 season, with Callahan returning to the post. Steele made another return on his own Bobblehead Giveaway Day on April 17, 2010, with the A's facing the Baltimore Orioles, announcing every inning (with the exception of the visiting half of the first inning) and throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.

Steele died on May 28, 2020. Callahan continued as the Athletics' stadium announcer through the 2019 season. He sat out the 2020 season due to health concerns, with Amelia Schimmel taking his place. He planned to return for the 2021 season, but he died on January 29, 2021. On March 9, 2021, the A's announced Schimmel as Callahan's permanent successor.

Philadelphia years
In 1938, a young Texan named Byrum Saam became the first radio voice of the A's. Saam, later joined by Claude Haring, broadcast all the Athletics’ home games on station WIBG. Because Saam and Haring also broadcast Phillies’ home games as well, A's road games were only broadcast when there was no conflict with a Phillies home game. Even so, the team's road game broadcasts were what were called "ticker tape games" in that era. Saam and Haring would broadcast from studios in Philadelphia, reconstructing the game from telegraphic feeds brought in by assistants. Beginning in 1950, the Athletics began broadcasting all games, home and away, on WIBG with Saam and Haring accompanying the team on road trips. (The Phillies hired their own announcers in 1950 and broadcast their games on a different radio station.) Their tenure as A's broadcast announcers came to an end after the 1954 season, when the team was sold and moved.

Kansas City years
When the Athletics moved to Kansas City for the 1955 season, Merle Harmon and Billy Ray were hired as play-by-play announcers. Harmon remained the voice of the A's until 1962, when then-owner Charles O. Finley replaced him with Monte Moore, an Oklahoma native along with George Bryson a veteran announcer from the Cincinnati Reds. On September 16, 1964, Betty Caywood, previously a television weather analyst, was hired by owner Finley to join the broadcasting crew, becoming the first female play-by-play broadcaster in major league baseball. She finished out the 1964 season, but did not return in 1965.

Since the move to Oakland
Moore came west with the team's move to Oakland in 1968, remaining the team's principal radio/TV voice through the 1977 season. He was hired by NBC to announce the Saturday Game of the Week with Wes Parker and Maury Wills. He also was the announcer with Parker on the USA Network's USA Thursday Game of the Week. He came out of retirement in 1988 when the A's asked him to be the announcer on the A's telecasts with Ray Fosse as analyst. Moore broadcast those games through the 1992 season, commuting from Porterville, California, where he had moved his family and purchased the radio stations KTIP/KIOO.

The last year the A's were in Kansas City, there was an incident on a plane trip involving some players and a complaint by a passenger to a hostess. Moore was accused of telling about it to Finley, but years later, at a memorial service for Finley at the Oakland Coliseum, Moore was the emcee and following the program, Finley's youngest son, Paul, who was travelling with the A's on that trip, admitted to Moore and some others around there, that it was he who told his dad about the incident and that he had felt bad all these years that he knew Moore had not been the one who told Finley, and he wanted to apologize for the misery caused.

During Moore's tenure, he had a number of co-announcers with him in the booth, including Harry Caray, Bob Elson, Al Helfer, Red Rush, and Jim Woods, all of whom had achieved fame as major-league broadcasters elsewhere before joining the A's, and Jon Miller, who went on to success with the Orioles and Giants. Former major league players Curt Flood, Reggie Jackson, Harmon Killebrew, and Jim Piersall served as A's announcers at one time, as did former player and manager Bill Rigney.

As noted above, the late Bill King announced the A's games on radio from 1981 to 2005. He partnered on A's broadcasts for 15 years with future Hall-of-Famer Lon Simmons, with Ken Korach replacing Simmons for the 1996 season. Simmons had previously been an announcer for the Giants, the National League "crosstown" (actually cross-Bay) rivals of the American League A's, for many years (since their 1958 arrival from New York); Simmons rejoined the Giants broadcast team on a part-time basis from 1996 to 2002.

From 2006 to May 2023, Glen Kuiper provided play by play for the A's on NBC Sports California.

Wrongful abortion

The term wrongful abortion refers to an abortion that a pregnant woman undergoes as a result of negligent or malicious conduct by a physician or health care provider.

Types of wrongful abortion
There are at least two archetypal cases of wrongful abortion:

Misinformation about pregnancy
In a case of the first type, a pregnant woman seeks medical counseling regarding the possible perils related to the continuance of her pregnancy. The adviser mistakenly maintains that the pregnancy is fraught with substantial risks for the woman, and she consequently decides to undergo an abortion. Later it is found that the information given by the adviser was wrong.

Misinformation about health of fetus
In a case of the second type, the woman seeks advice concerning the health and bodily integrity of her fetus (see genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis), and decides to undergo an abortion after being told that the fetus is deformed or disabled. Here, too, it is eventually realized that the information was wrong.

Wrongful pregnancy/conception
"Wrongful abortion" is comparable to other types of birth-related malpractice. One category of birth-related malpractice consists of cases in which negligence by the defendant resulted in the birth of a healthy yet unwanted child. The negligence may manifest itself in the manufacture, provision, or installation of contraceptives; in the performance of vasectomy  or tubal ligation;  or in the carrying out of an abortion. These cases are usually labeled "wrongful pregnancy" (or "wrongful conception" in appropriate cases). In a way, they represent a mirror image of wrongful abortion cases, although they are not exact reflections. In cases of wrongful pregnancy, the doctor's negligence makes the fulfillment of the parents’ will impossible, while in wrongful abortion cases the doctor's negligence instigates, but does not necessitate, a decision that turns out to be inconsistent with such will.

Wrongful birth/life
Another category of birth-related malpractice, more closely related to wrongful abortion, consists of cases in which a woman seeks medical advice regarding the health of her fetus, and decides to conceive or to continue her pregnancy once the adviser maintains that the fetus will not be born with congenital disabilities, a statement that is later found to be incorrect. The parents’ cause of action for their resulting losses is labeled "wrongful birth," while the infant’s cause of action for their own losses is termed "wrongful life." Wrongful birth is a more accurate mirror image of wrongful abortion. The former deals with the non-prevention of the birth of an unwanted child, whereas the latter deals with the prevention of the birth of a wanted child. In both cases the defendant’s negligence does not make the fulfillment of the parent’s will physically impossible, but instigates a decision that turns out to be inconsistent with such will.

Khum Bahadur Khadka

Khum Bahadur Khadka (खुम बहादुर खड्का) (1951-2018) was a Nepali politician who was an elected member in Nepali Congress Central Working Committee. He was a Minister of the Interior of Nepal and one of the most influential leaders of Nepali Congress Party. After some corruption allegations, he was not in active politics since about 2006-2007 and even withdrew his candidacy for the Constituent Assembly election from the Dang-1 constituency, after Maoists had accused him of responsibility in the killing of seven of their cadres. He was convicted on 13 August 2012 with several counts of corruption, slapping him one-and-half year jail sentence along with a penalty of 9.47 million Nepali rupees. His corruption escapades were mostly during the period when he held a number of high-ranking posts, including home minister and local development minister in the 1990s.

License tagging for Image:Heres hoping.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Heres hoping.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 22:10, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Oh boy.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Oh boy.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Blingo

The article Blingo has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you,

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Amateur radio
You have been doing a lot of surgery on the Amateur radio article. Would you care to look at Antenna (radio) as well? I think it is getting too long, but perhaps not. I authored a significant portion of that page, and thus don't feel qualified to cut it down as much as I'd like, especially when what I'd like to cut is what other people wrote. 8-P I think the overview section needs a rewrite. I think the list of antennas is disorganized (although that might be ok) and the descriptions in it are too long. If they stay as long as they are, perhaps it should be converted to headings from the current bulleted list. If they are shortened, I'd suggest shortening the ones that have their own articles to a sentence or two. Am I thinking too drastic (is the article OK as is) or do you agree with any of this? --ssd 07:08, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Well I'm looking at it and got it in the Watchlist... there's a lot of stuff in it, not sure yet where to begin. It looks liek something needs to be done with the A few basic antenna models section... whatever the definition of the word few is, that's definately not it. Anonym1ty 18:16, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Re Cleanup Tags
Hi. You seem to be a fairly experienced editor, so I would have thought you would notice that the Racine Megacycle Club article was obviously not formatted according to Wikipedia's style guidelines, but you removed the cleanup tag without making any changes. So, instead of reinserting the tag, I made some changes now that I had the leisure time to do so, and I have noted the changes at Talk:Racine Megacycle Club; I made some other suggestions there too that I ask you to consider. Your point about explaining cleanup tags is duly noted. Thanks. HollyAm 02:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Short articles
Hi! Please don't make articles which simply state that "so-and-so is an amateur radio club" and then put an external link to it. These types of are speedy deleted as having lack of content or as serving strictly as placeholders for the external link. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 17:39, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Please stop adding single-sentence articles/weblink placeholders. These are not considered stub articles. Thanks again. - Lucky 6.9 17:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

No prob. It's hard to determine what someone has in mind when things like this come on en masse. Just so no one else comes along and tags these for no content, simply add a sentence or two about the clubs, maybe a bit of history or some other notable activity. Have fun; sorry about the inconvenience. - Lucky 6.9 17:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Ah. If you were trying to edit this page, that's why. You must have been here the same time that I was. - Lucky 6.9 17:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletions
Could you be a bit more specific? I deal with dozens to hundreds of speedy-deletions a day when I'm patrolling CAT:CSD. — Saxifrage ✎ 21:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yesterday, the Hamsexy article, as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Amateur radio. Now I'm not so sure the article deserves to live, don't get me wrong.... (I'm not so sure it should stay) Just c'mon... gone so fast??? (I am not asking for the article to be restored) please look at WikiProject Amateur radio It's disgusting. The WikiProject Amateur radio isn't even that old. It was created to help get us together to fix those very articles... and they are dropping so fast we can't keep up. I mean, they just disappear for apparently no reason (until we figure out later what happened) And it's like some kinda shenanigans are going on. Some of these articles lasted quite a while, and only after they were just added to a project then they start getting deleted! We need time to organize the project. I work and I can't keep hitting refresh every ten seconds on my watch list to look for speedy deletion notices it's impossible and unfair to expect that. Anonym1ty 21:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, that one. I actually deliberated on that one for some time due to its history. I noted that it was a recreation of a previously-deleted page as well. However, it very much did not make any assertion of its subjects importance either generally or to a specific subculture (note that importance to a subculture is disputed as being relevant, though). This qualified it for speedy-delete criteria A7 easily. Any article that satisfies any of the speedy-delete criteria is at risk of being deleted without notice.
 * Of course, if the subject can be demonstrated to be important and notable, I'll undelete the article. If you like, I can undelete the article right now and move it to your userspace where it can be worked on until it is no longer at risk of speedy-deletion. As for the Amateur Radio project, though, I'd recommend that a major initiative of the project should be rescuing deserving articles from speedy-deletion by editing them to indicate their importance. Speedy-deletion is important for the integrity of the encyclopedia, and we can't have a special exception for certain kinds of articles. — Saxifrage ✎ 21:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I am going to quote you... "I actually deliberated on that one for some time due to its history." You said it yourself that immediately qualifies it for a NORMAL deletion policy over a speedy one. I do not care the article is deleted. I think now it should be... I am arguing with you over these speedy deletes... it's really getting to be a load of horse manure. Another qualifier would have been the PROJECT NOTICE on the discussion page. It's in a PROJECT. Notify the participants!!! I mean just look at WikiProject Amateur radio Do you not see a problem here? SLOW DOWN remember #1 WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A PAPER ENCYCLOPEDIA. Leaving some time for people to understand and respond isn't a whole lot to ask. I think CSD though not intentionally is being abused Anonym1ty 21:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I did slow down, as you pointed out. It still qualified for CSD A7 regardless of being in a project. I didn't deliberate on it because I doubted whether it qualified, but because I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something in its history that made it qualify. Finding nothing, I deleted it. Speedy-deletion is an important tool, and there's currently a huge backlog at CAT:CSD. Sending everything there AfD because speedying it wouldn't allow poeple to respond would be a nightmare, and we can't be making special exceptions for certain kinds of articles. Articles aren't speedied when they're borderline, but when they're so far below the requirements of Wikipedia that no discussion is necessary. If this is happening often to amateur radio articles, that's an indication that many are completely inadequate, not that they should be given special exceptions. — Saxifrage ✎ 22:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's the rub, ain't it? look at it this way. The articles need work, no problem, the group editing them starts a Wiki Project... Part of which is to fix the articles... Then some one goes down the list of the articles and starts taging them CSD. You say we should try to fix them... but in the time it takes to fix them 3 get deleted. it's draconian. You say you have a backlog, but with the speed of these delete I don't see how. What about FIFO? First ones in are the first ones out, that alone would afford the time to contest or fix the articles. Randomly (and yes it's randomly) deleting articles with no explanation, no notice isn't helping, it's confusing users and needs to stop. Speedy-deletion is indeed important for spam and vandalism pages, it's being over-used on A7. A campaign of normal deletes for this would be beneficial to the wikipedia community and help educate users. Just gone... Just gone that's what happens and it makes no sense... There's no way for a normal user to figure out what happened without a whole lot of reading and it just invites the same kind of articles to be created again and again.Anonym1ty 23:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Note that I said not that they should be fixed, but that the WikiProject should consider setting up some kind of rescue / article shelter system. Articles in the article space that meet the criteria for speedy deletion risk deletion at any time, and no one admin sparing an article can save it if it qualifies as there are always many admins trying to clean out the backlog. (For the backlog, and technical reasons why your suggestion wouldn't work, take a look at CAT:CSD: they're sorted alphabetically, not FIFO, and the list is huge and holding despite efforts to clear it.)
 * I'm afraid your objection goes far beyond anything I can do as it takes exception to the fundamentals of the speedy-deletion policy. You might want to bring up your concerns at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion. — Saxifrage ✎ 23:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like I spoke too soon: the backlog is starting to clear up after a big push was requested at the administrators' noticeboard. In any case, the technical problem remains, and slowing down doesn't make articles any less qualified under the criteria. — Saxifrage ✎ 23:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Wisconsin Page
Just thought I'd view your user page after seeing what you wrote on the Wisconsin discussion page. Just letting you know, your user page says you're "OWNED" by one or more cats. I assume you mean "OWN". I notice you have a radio license. That is cool. I always wanted to be on radio but it requires a bunch of boring college so I forgot about that whole idea. Do you have your own radio station? Lonelyboy 08:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, delightful words. You're cool. And lol @ the cats owning you because they're the ones making the demands. Clever, clever! Oh by the way, my master is a dog. I do everything at his beck and bark. Not the same beck and meow situation you're dealing with. lol!

About the radio, I really pursued a lot of my interest this year since I am 20 and radio was a big one on my list. I must have e-mailed numerous radio people requesting if I could help them out in some way, to hopefully get started in that industry. I only got more and more discouraged and irritated. A lot of them made me feel like I'd spend forever working up to radio personality. Some made me feel like I needed to spend way to much time in college and be involved in certain colleges to get an intern. Others were telling me how I needed to pay my dues before I got such a job.

I never heard of getting a license from any of them, so that was fascinating. Yea, actually I've always wanted to be radio personaltiy and I wrote a bunch of e-mails stating what you said, convincing people. I wrote all about how I am able to be very eloquent as I have a passion for words and am very good with english language. It was just kind of irritating because it was getting nowhere and e-mailed a lot of radio people, and I really only got few responses back.

Anyway, as to writing about my self. Thank you for your interest in me. That's nice. Gee whiz! There is really not much to say. I'm just a depressed, hapeless 20 year old person. That's about it. lol! Exciting and fascinating people like you should only have the user pages. ;) Lonelyboy 18:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

lol, I'm too much of a pessmist to make a user page. I'd be willing to tell you all about me though. ;)

I didn't realize there were so many routes into getting on radio as you said. That's interesting. The thing is I think the route that I'm most likely to become a radio personality with, is a long route that I don't want to take. I think the main route is the whole four year college business. First of all, I can't stand math and I'm not good at it, and the last thing I want to do is be more miserable doing it for four years in college. That's what I hate about stuff. It takes forever getting where you want to be.

But it's all good. I've accepted the fact that I will never be on radio and there are a couple of other things I'd like to be; Singer, TV show host, publisher, illustrator, and show creator. Those are all things I am interested in and think I would do well at. I've actually tried for each and it's just getting annoying waiting. A music producer even said I had a strong voice, but it's getting annoying poking around with him. It takes forever to receive e-mails and he'll say he's busy and will give my music to some other producer's because he's making a record or something, which is just taking forever so. Well, excuse me for going so far into all this. Just telling you a little bit more about me. HAPELESS!!! I really hate life. It sucks!!!

Anyways! Wow! It sounds like you have a great hobby. I bet your amateur radio gig will really take you places. I think it's fascinating how you're able to talk with like astronauts and such. I never heard of that before. I just always thought radio was broadcast like you hear on the radio, out to millions of people. What you were telling me sounds like a whole other category of radio. I think it's rules are very appropriate to regarding not discussing religious issues, cursing, and such. Religious people are too dogmatic in their beliefs and it would just get irritating listening to them anyway. Yea, but I like the whole concept of the amateur radio thing. I would think about looking more into it, but unfortunately being 20, I need to find a career fast before I can do a hobby. I need money and a way to get money in an exciting way. I feel like I am in jail living at my parents house stuck here 24/7 under their rules. I am supposed to be going back to college, but I am trying to hurry up and find something interesting before I go back in January, or else I'm getting out of this little nasty place for good. Lonelyboy 20:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you soooooooooo much for all that great advice on how to get into radio. wow-whee. Maybe I can actually consider that dream again because of you. You've got to have my e-mail. My e-mail is stat4manlulu@yahoo.com. Please e-mail me from now on. :) Such a nice, helpful person like you, we have to have each other's e-mails. I'll respond to you there once you e-mail me. I can say as much as I want there. :) Lonelyboy 22:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Just e-mail me and say hi, so I can give you my response over your helpful advice for me. I would feel a little more comfortable talking to you privately. You can know about me. Not everyone on wikipedia. I know you're a nice person. A lot of people here just aren't. :) lol Lonelyboy 23:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Cuyahoga County Skywarn
Hi. Someone just tried to put a prod tag on Cuyahoga County Skywarn, which you created back in February. It has been tagged for cleanup since June without any significant improvement. Can you add some information to the article to help in establishing notability on it? If someone doesn't, it will likely get canned through either CSD or AFD very soon. I went through something similar with MFJ Enterprises a couple of months back. Only that time, I didn't discover the prod until after it had been deleted. Also, thanks for adding articles to WP:HAM! --StuffOfInterest 21:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

References for South Jersey Radio Association?
South Jersey Radio Association just went up for proposed deletion. The problem with the article is that there's no independent source to back up the assertion that it's the oldest extant amateur club. Google has not been useful. Have you got a newspaper clipping, ARRL write-up, etc. that could help the article out? Thanks! —C.Fred (talk) 22:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Your Cites on main Amateur Radio Page
I just replaced your cites on the main Amateur Radio page with links to appropriate source web pages. To be perfectly honest, many of them were plainly obvious to anyone who has been involved in Amateur Radio, like asking for a cite to prove that the sun rises in the East. But since it was so important, now you get to retrieve each of the the pages and convert them into proper Wikipedia references ;-) GCW50 18:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

>>It is very important, and not obvious to those who are not Amateur radio operators.

Then you could have simply looked each of them up and added them in the first place instead of just putting in {fact} all over the place GCW50 19:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

>>>Well I was going to... part one is to identify them. Then to go back and add them one at a time.

I suggest that perhaps in the future you limit yourself to one section at time. The sheer number of them all appearing at once seemed to question the validity of the entire article.

>>>It's also a good idea to allow the people who wrote the stuff to have the opportunity to add the actual link.

That's passing the buck. I found them all with a simple Google search in a separate window for simple cutting and pasting as could the poster of the {fact}.

Talk:Wauwatosa East High School

Sentence removed
An anon inserted the following uncited sentence (poorly) into the article:
 * This school is segregated among blacks and whites by giving blacks designated lockers in the middle of the hallways.

I'm not about to go to Milwaukee to check this assertion out, but I'm assuming it's nonsense. That said, I haven't removed it from the article, simply commented it out. I'm guessing that if the statement is true, there has to be someone out there who's noticed it and commented on it, online. As yet, however, I haven't been able to find it mentioned anywhere. See and. Tom e rtalk 04:35, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

As a student, I can assert that there is some validity to this-- there is a certain hallway (located centrally in the school) colloqially known as the "ghetto hallway" where the lockers for a disproportionate number (though by no means all) of minority students are located. I have no idea as to how this came about, though I would reckon there would be a benign explanation of some sort. AlanKHG 03:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Nevertheless, such detail is ostensibly non-notable (and thus unencyclopedic); in any case, irrespective of the truth of the fact, it's unlikely that verification (such that the entry does not contain original research) could properly be undertaken. Joe 03:25, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

"established prior": prior to what?

The reason is that they are the ones bussed in from Milwaukee and were therefore some of the last to register. However, it IS "unencyclopedic" information as it is merely a coincidence that all who are bussed from the inner city are black. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.201.170 (talk) 02:51, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

 * 🇺🇸 L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
 * Pirate_Flag_of_Henry_Every.svg, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
 * 🇩🇰 MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
 * 🇺🇸 Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
 * Flag of the United States Library of Congress 2.svg Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
 * Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

In response to your opinion on Freehold Raceway Mall "puffery"
Hi Alansohn. In case you did not receive my response on my Talk page, I'll just reinsert the message here on your talk page. If you agree that listing a few stores on a mall article would not classify as 'puffery', then why exactly did do you remove the list of stores then? If you agree that simply having a list of a few stores isn't 'puffery', then I'm glad we both have a mutual understanding. I'd imagine you would consult with me if you have any issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freeholdman12 (talk • contribs) 5 June 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

 * Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
 * Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
 * Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Pseudocereal

A pseudocereal or pseudograin is one of any non-grasses that are used in much the same way as cereals (true cereals are grasses). Pseudocereals can be further distinguished from other non-cereal staple crops (such as potatoes) by their being processed like a cereal: their seed can be ground into flour and otherwise used as a cereal. Prominent examples of pseudocereals include amaranth (love-lies-bleeding, red amaranth, Prince-of-Wales-feather), quinoa, and buckwheat. The pseudocereals have a good nutritional profile, with high levels of essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, minerals, and some vitamins. The starch in pseudocereals has small granules and low amylose content (except for buckwheat), which gives it similar properties to waxy-type cereal starches. The functional properties of pseudocereals, such as high viscosity, water-binding capacity, swelling capability, and freeze-thaw stability, are determined by their starch properties and seed morphology. Pseudocereals are gluten-free, and they are used to make 100% gluten-free products, which has increased their popularity.

Common pseudocereals

 * Acorn
 * Amaranth (love-lies-bleeding, red amaranth, Prince-of-Wales-feather)
 * Breadnut
 * Buckwheat
 * Cañahua
 * Chia
 * Cockscomb (also called quail grass or soko)
 * Fat hen
 * Hanza
 * Pitseed goosefoot
 * Quinoa
 * Wattleseed (also called acacia seed)

Production
This table shows the annual production of some pseudocereals in 1961, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 ranked by 2013 production.

Other grains that are locally important, but are not included in FAO statistics, include:
 * Amaranth, an ancient pseudocereal, formerly a staple crop of the Aztec Empire, widely grown in Africa.
 * Kañiwa or Cañahua, close relative of quinoa.

Thanks! Goss, I'm afraid, was one of the more disastrous appointments to CIA. Raborn, while completely unqualified as an intelligence director and superb as an engineering manager, at least seemed to recognize it. McCone was the engineering manager that made the transition; I regard him as one of the best.

Goss seems to have had the infighting ideas of Schlesinger and Turner, and that just doesn't work at CIA. Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 04:20, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Barbara Martin (singer)

Barbara Diane Martin Richardson (June 16, 1943 – March 4, 2020) was an American singer, best known as one of the original members of Motown group The Supremes. She was born in Detroit.

Career
After Betty McGlown left the Primettes due to her upcoming nuptials, Martin replaced her in the group in 1960. She and her group mates, Diana Ross (then known as Diane), Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard, signed a recording contract with Motown founder Berry Gordy on January 15, 1961, as the Supremes, a name that Ballard had chosen (as she was the only group member in the studio at the time) from a list provided by Motown songwriter Janie Bradford; the group became part of the Motown stable of performers.

While recording a handful of early singles, none of which became hits, Martin, Wilson, Ross, and Ballard worked as studio backing singers, providing vocals and rhythmic effects, such as hand claps, for Motown's leading groups. In October 1961, Martin became pregnant. Her husband supported her decision to stay in the group, but she left in the early spring of 1962 – leaving Ross, Wilson and Ballard as a trio.

Although Martin sang on many of the group's early singles (including a shared lead vocal with Diana Ross on "(He's) Seventeen"), and most of the tracks on the group's first album Meet the Supremes, she is not pictured on the album's cover.

Later life
After leaving the group, Martin eventually earned a degree in psychology and worked in mental health. Out of respect for Diana Ross and Mary Wilson, she never spoke publicly about her tenure with the Primettes/Supremes. She denied interviews over the years, with the exception of one interview she gave in 2009 for the 2010 release of Meet the Supremes: Expanded Edition.

Martin died in March 2020 at the age of 76.

Captain Lemuel Clap House

The Captain Lemuel Clap House (1767) is a historic house located at 199 Boston Street, Dorchester, Massachusetts. It is now owned by the Dorchester Historical Society, which opens the house for tours two afternoons per month. It is one of two Clapp Houses owned by the society that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It appears that a house has occupied this site since about 1633, and possibly today's house was its enlargement. Although there is no solid evidence for this possibility, the Clapp family genealogy records that such a first house was built circa 1633 by Roger Clapp, one of Dorchester's original settlers in 1630, and then rebuilt and enlarged by his descendant Lemuel Clap in 1767. On the other hand, the Historical Society also has evidence that the earlier house was built by the Ward family at the beginning of the 18th century.

There seems little doubt, however, that today's house was substantially constructed by Lemuel Clap in 1767. The house was purchased by Historical Society in 1945, and moved several hundred yards from Willow Court to its current location in 1957. Its rooms currently contain items from the Society's historical collection.

The houses of the Dorchester Historical Society are open on the second Sunday of the month from 11 am to 4 pm.
