Talk:2006 Haitian general election

Content needed
Please add any information you know about the elections to this page, or if you have links to articles about the elections please add them to the discussion page and I will attempt to sort through them for new information. --MateoP 01:51, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your editing. I had started the article before logging in, but your job did more than plenty to improve its state. Plus, would you consider a current event template, since this is, of course, an ongoing newspiece. Thanks. --Toussaint 16:05, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Done. If you can, it would be great to get more information.  I'm going to try and collect information about the candidates and expand on their campaigns.  There is a full list of candidates I found, which I believe is more than 20 people, should I add that?  --MateoP 22:43, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Of course! A list of candidates would provide a service to the maintenance of this article as the events progress. Plus, since there are so many candidates for such a (seemingly-trivial) election (and I mean, don't forget the parliamentary elections, which are probably 10 times as confusing and varied), it would be great to have articles (and accompanying resources) on each and every one of them so as to cover as much historic ground as possible. Thanks again. --Toussaint 16:05, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Help expand on the candidates
Please view the list of candidates listed in the article, follow their links, and add anything you happen to know about them from a NPOV, if you will. I know a little about most of these people but not necessarily a lot about any except for a few. --MateoP 02:04, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Need sources about Jean-Juste
An anonymous user editted the page and included this, "witnesses say that the police watched and refused to intervene to protect Jean-Juste from the crowd until many minutes after the assault began." We need a source on this. I wrote the wikinews article about the arrest and none of the sources from that article said anything about this. It probably needs to be reworded a little to make it more NPOV, but I have no problem with it staying in if we can identify a source. I'll go ahead and delete this sentence on Monday if no one (preferrably the person who added it) can identify a source. --MateoP 20:32, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

NPOV about Guy Philippe and reason for the coup d'etat in 2004
Not everybody may agree that the "rebellion" in Feb 2004 was a coup d'etat - but a quick look at 2004 Haiti Rebellion shows that there it is highly POV to sum up the reason for the regime change as due to allegations of election fraud in the 2000 parliamentary elections. There were allegations of fraud, sure, but that's not the whole story...

Moreover, there's plenty on the page Guy Philippe suggesting that he's a mass-murderer, or at a minimum is extremely closely related to mass murders and mass murderers. This needs to be stated in NPOV style, of course, but for the moment it's missing from the Haitian elections, 2006 page... Anyway, i'll try to find some NPOV way of adding some relevant info. Boud 22:54, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * "allegations of election fraud" does not mean that the allegations are true, it just means that this is the reason (or one of the reasons) why the rebellion happened. I'll try to rephrase that to make sure that it doesn't make it seem like that's the only reason that the rebellion happened.  An about Guy Philippe, you can't use wikipedia as a source for wikipedia, and I know for a fact that many Haiti related articles are highly POV and that's surely one.  If you can found reliable outside sources that show that Philippe was involved in atrocities, please I'd love to see him (for the record I think he probably was, or at bare minimum was involved in drug trafficking but we need sources to include this). I'll clean up the sources you provided earlier also.  --MateoP 23:10, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

opinion polls dec 2005 - preval:baker:manigat=37:10:8
i don't have time to write this up properly right now, so i'm just putting this up here -

preval:baker:manigat=37%:10%:8% according to opinion poll by Angus Reid Consultants of 1200 people between 5-12 December 2005: http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7329

ratios for believing in fair, open, transparent elections vs not fair/open/transparent = 43%:36%.

i'm adding charles henri baker just as a stub. he's 3rd in line (even if only at 8%) so he ought to be on the page... Boud 03:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Results?
Is there an expectation of when the results will be released? If they will be released relatively soon (a day or so), then I would wait till then to put this on the Main Page. If it takes a couple of weeks to tabulate everything, I would just put it up now, and again when the count is done.--Pharos 21:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

It looks like (01:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)) the USAID pre-polls were hopelessly (deliberately?) biased against Preval - the difference between 30% and 67% is huge:

http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/ny-wohait0209,0,173867.story?coll=ny-top-headlines ''February 8, 2006, 7:04 PM EST - At a large polling center near the huge slum of Cite Soleil, unconfirmed results taped to large columns inside showed Preval winning about 90 percent of the votes cast there. - Across the capital in Petionville, home to many of Haiti's wealthiest citizens as well the poor Haitians who serve them, Preval took slightly more than 70 percent of the vote at another polling station, according to posted results. - Preval's political adviser, Bob Manuel, said preliminary calculations show the former president having won 67 percent of the nationwide vote, with 16 percent of votes counted.'' Anyway, more reports will presumably come out soon... Boud 01:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

 * A Haitian friend of mine who claims to be distantly related to Preval told me today that Preval has won with 80% of the vote. I don't know where to go to verify this, though.  -Kasreyn 04:22, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, it seems he's doing very well in the initial polling and there probably will not be a run-off. Since I first posted, I've seen that the results it seems should all be in before Saturday.--Pharos 04:32, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't hold your breath though. It'll take an extra few days to dump all those Préval votes in the sea... Yours cynically, QuartierLatin1968 [[Image:Red flag waving transparent.png|20px|El bien mas preciado es la libertad]] 16:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Sigh. I hate to say it, but it's now looking like you turned out to be right.  Those bastards.  :(  -Kasreyn 17:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I have a question about Presidential elections. When the U.S. Presidential election results are being counted, various TV news programs "call" the election in favor of one candidate or the other, based on some mixture of data and bias. Would it be inappropriate to "call" this in favor of Preval, always assuming the current results data are true? Ie., would it be appropriate, would it be NPOV, and would it be reliable?

My reasoning for calling it for Preval is very simple. With about 75% of votes counted, he has about 50% to his nearest competitor's 12%. Even if all the remaining 25% went to Manigat, that would still not be enough to overcome Preval's lead. If the data we are already showing on Wikipedia is true and factual, then Renee Preval is now unbeatable. Therefore, in my opinion, we should call for Preval, based on the mathematics. If on the other hand it is argued that the data are not reliable, we should remove them from the article. -Kasreyn 04:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, mathematically Préval has won a plurality of the vote. However, to prevent a run-off, he must also win an outright majority, and as of now it is unclear from the partial results whether he has done so.--Pharos 04:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Kasreyn wrote "If on the other hand it is argued that the data are not reliable, we should remove them from the article". I don't agree with that part. Although I do believe that the results published by the CEP have been fraudulently manipulated, they are an extremely important historical artifact of this election. Our putting up a summary of the "official" (i.e. doctored) results doesn't have to mean that we endorse those results at all. We're just saying, this is what the CEP says. (But that distinction perhaps should be made more explicit on this page...) QuartierLatin1968 [[Image:Red flag waving transparent.png|20px|El bien mas preciado es la libertad]] 00:39, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Agreed, as long as it's pointed out that Wikipedia is quoting a set of figures from some other group's whole cloth, rather than some sort of synthesis. If we're going to host misleading data, we need to be clear that we did not originate it.  I'm very concerned about building Wikipedia's credibility.  -Kasreyn 05:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

foreign interference in/after election
Here are some links for anyone feeling comments about foreign interference in the elections could be relevant: It would require a bit of thinking of how to NPOV summarise this info and thinking of how (if) it's encyclopedically relevant. Boud 01:36, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Page name
Should this page be moved to Haitian presidential elections, 2006 and a separate page made for the general election? That seems to be the way most election pages are organised.--nixie 03:41, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm... we don't seem to have any content on the legislative elections as of yet. I guess we should just move this article, though.--Pharos 03:52, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll knock something together if someone can find me some sources.--nixie 03:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It's probably worth keeping this page to discuss the 2006 elections in general (far more to discuss here than most countries given the delays and so on) and splitting off the presidential and legislative pages from here.--nixie 04:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Strongly disapprove of wikipedia main page text
after several thousand blank votes were discounted, giving him the majority needed...

This implies that Preval would not have won if those several thousand had not been discounted. This isn't something wikipedia knows. I'm very disappointed that this logical error made it to the front page.

I suggest alternative text:

''Former president René Préval is declared the winner of the Haitian presidential election after several thousand blank votes were discounted. Mr. Preval had a majority of the vote and therefore a run-off election was not held.''

This text sticks to the facts, is encyclopedic, and only says what we know. Again, suggesting that Preval owes his victory to the discarded ballots is unsourced, unproven, and biased. -Kasreyn 18:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Statistics
The CEP website shows Preval with 48.8% of the vote. Until the site changes, that is the official result. Also, the number of enrolled voters is 3,533,430, so only 51% of the vote has been counted (or at least reported as counted), not 92% as stated. The 92% refers to the proportion of votes so far counted which are valid. Adam 04:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No, please look at it again. They clearly report 90.02% counted, and 92.5% as the proportion that are considered valid.  Don't assume that everyone who enrolled beforehand actually voted.  As to the "official result", I do think a public press conference trumps an infrequently updated website every time.--Pharos 04:13, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I have looked at it very carefully. It says:

 * Procés-Verbaux traités 8289 / 9208 90,02%
 * Votes Valides 1.825.055 92,51%
 * Votes Nuls 147.765 7,49%
 * Total Votes 1.972.820 100.00%

"8289 / 9208 90,02" seems to be a reference to the number of polling places which have reported results. 1.972.820 is the number of votes so far counted. Of these, 1.825.055, or 92,51%, are valid votes. 1.972.820 is not the total number of enrolled voters, which is given elsewhere as 3,533,430. Haiti has nearly 8 million people, so its population over 18 should be about 4 million. 1.9 million is thus far too small a figure to be the total electorate, even allowing for underenrolment in a poor country. I also maintain that the figure given at the government election website must be taken as the official figure until a more official one is produced. Adam 04:21, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, 90% of polling places have reported in, ie. about that percentage of the vote has been counted. 1.9 million votes have been counted; how is it not possible that Haiti should have about a 50% turn-out?– this is an average figure for the US.  And this is not directly relevent, but certainly the explicit word of government officials is more "official" than any website.--Pharos 04:40, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It does not follow that because 90% of polling places have reported 90% of votes have been counted and posted. That may be the case but it need not be.
 * I am the one saying that the turnout (on current counting) is 51% or thereabouts (1.9 million of 3.5 million). The article says that turnout is over 90%, which is incorrect.
 * It seems obvious that "government officials" have cooked the figures to allow Preval to be declared the winner and avoid a runoff, thus ending the riots. Given the circumstances in Haiti, this may have been a reasonable thing to do, since Preval obviously has more support than anyone else. But I don't think Wikipedia is obliged to pretend that the cooked figures (if any such have been posted) are the real figures. The real figures are those at the CEP website. Adam 07:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * While those sentiments are honourable and good, Adam, the figures at the CEP's website have themselves been cooked. Thousands of Préval votes were declared invalid, others may have been burnt or thrown away, thousands of blank votes may have been fraudulently added after the fact. All of those decisions were political, just as the decision not to count blank votes against candidates' percentages was political. It's a bit of an inelegant solution to a worse than inelegant problem. Anyway, we're not "pretending" anything, at least not on the results table, which is explicit about where its numbers come from and how (and why) they've been adjusted. QuartierLatin1968 [[Image:Red flag waving transparent.png|20px|El bien mas preciado es la libertad]] 16:52, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * There were 20 times less polling places in the 2006 election compared to the 2000 election (500 instead of 10,000) and most of them where in rich areas rather than in poor areas - this is already cooking the election in favour of richer people. All the initial results from the first few days were in the range 60%-90% for Preval, and given the various factors listed by Brian Concannon, i think the evidence of the election results being faked against Preval needs to be taken seriously. http://www.haitiaction.net/News/BC/2_17_6/2_17_6.html

preval distancing himself from Lavalas??
Does anyone have a source for this claim?
 * During his campaign, he sought to distance himself from any former association with the Lavalas party

From all i've read, this sounds rather hard to believe.Boud 22:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, he supports the occupation of Haiti, which Aristide doesn't. He didn't run on the Lavalas Party name. During his campaign advertisements and public appearences, he almost never mentioned Lavalas or Aristide. When talking about the possible re-entry of Aristide into Haiti, Preval said that he wouldn't tolerate the "violence" and "gangs" associated with Aristide. That would add up to a distancing, as far as I can tell. 207.6.31.119 18:36, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, I believe there was an external link in the Preval section to a Guardian article pertaining to this topic, but unfortunately, it appears it's no longer available. I guess the Guardian doesn't keep their articles up for long. 207.6.31.119 18:42, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Statistics again
Does anyone have an explanation for the fact that the new figures at the CEP website don't add up? The vote total given for all the candidates is 1,938,641 (I added them all up and this is correct). But at the top of the page is the following table:

Votes Candidat 1.847.422 88,23% Votes Blancs 91.219 4,36% Votes Nuls 155.306 7,42% Total Votes 2.093.947 100.00%

Here the total cast for all the candidates is given as 1,847,422, plus 91,219 blank votes. These two figures add up to 1,938,641, which is the actual number of votes cast for the candidates. This makes no sense. If there were 91,219 blank votes, they should not be included in the total of votes cast for candidates, and indeed they don't appear in the list, yet the total given appears to include them. Can anyone explain this? (If the correct total of valid votes is 1,847,422, then Preval's percentage should be given as 53.7%). Adam 09:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, I noticed a discrepancy while trying to figure out the percentage of "scattered" candidates. Probably the figure of 1,847,422 is left over from a previous version of the page (i.e. when 90% of vote tallies had been counted), or else it's a legacy of the fact that these numbers are basically fraudulent anyway. (Ah, me cynical again! But at least the right man won.) QuartierLatin1968 [[Image:Red flag waving transparent.png|20px|El bien mas preciado es la libertad]] 16:36, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Misspelling "Réconcilation" = "Reconciliation"
This misspelling does not get recognized when in edit so where can it be found to be corrected? Someone with a better understanding of WP needs to assist.

Talk:Egoism/archive 1

This article is horrible. It's not a true disambiguation. RJII 01:51, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not an article. Feel free to move it ALL to the subheading "See also:" in Egoism while also leaving Ethical egoism and Psychological egoism here.  --Wighson 2005 September 2 (UTC)
 * Exactly. A disambiguation page disambiguates between different meanings of a term. It doesn't list out topics that may have some relation to the term. RJII 03:14, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * You ignored my proposal for compromise. --Wighson 2005 September 2 (UTC)

-
 * Ethical egoism is not defined as selfishness. Selfishness implies an impropriety. Look at the definition from Merriam Webster: "concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself : seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others." You don't see how that's a POV term? "Excessively" is a moral judgement.  Ethical egoism is a normative ethic that says that people are morally obligated to do that which benefits themselves. That's all. Selfishness is very very POV. RJII 03:54, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * And as far as including libertarianis and individualist anarchism, they don't belong because ethical egoism is only one way that someone may justify those philosophies. Most libertarians, in fact, are utilitarians. Trying to explicitly equate Rand with libertarianism is totally bogus. Rand detested libertarians for the very reason that they didn't base their philosophy in the way she did. RJII 03:57, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * And your claim above that "the problem with egoism is it cannot accommodate itself to the existence of others" shows no familiarity on your part with egoism. Ayn Rand for example, advocates that individuals should restrict their actions to those that don't violate the individual liberty of others. If that's not accomodating the existence of others, I don't know what is. RJII 04:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * And as far as your claim that "egoism means selfishness" let's have a look at Merriam-Webster: "1 a : a doctrine that individual self-interest is the actual motive of all conscious action b : a doctrine that individual self-interest is the valid end of all actions 2 : excessive concern for oneself with or without exaggerated feelings of self-importance -- compare EGOTISM 2" There you see (1a) is talking about the psychological doctrine and (1b) is talking about the ethical doctrine of egoism  ..it's not about "selfishness." But, (2) is the alternative meaning of the term which you may be able to associate with selfishness, but it's clear that that's not talking about the ethical doctrine. Hopefully this clears things up for you. RJII 04:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Ramusio

The noble Italian family of Ramusio (also spelled Ramnusio, Rhamnusio, Rannusio) was worth of note for literary and official ability during at least four generations.

Its original home was in Rimini, and the municipality of that city has set up a tablet on the town hall bearing an inscription which may be thus rendered:

 * The municipality of Rimini here records the claim of their city to the family of the Ramusios, adorned during the 15th and 16th centuries by the illustrious jurist and man of letters Paolo the elder, who rendered the work of Valturius, our fellow-citizen, into the vernacular; by the physician Girolamo, a most successful student of Oriental tongues, and the first to present Europe with a translation of Avicenna; and by Giovanni Battista, cosmographer to the Venetian republic and secretary to the Council of Ten, who bequeathed to the world that famous collection of voyages and travels, regarded in his own day as a marvellous work, and still full of authority among all civilized nations.

The best known of the Ramusio was Giovanni Battista Ramusio, who published Delle navigationi e viaggi, a collection of travellers’ accounts and biographies, including the accounts of Marco Polo, Niccolò Da Conti, Magellan and Giosafat Barbaro, as well as the Descrittione dell’ Africa. He also published an excerpt of Tomé Pires' work on the Indies, which had come into his hands, though he did not know the name of its author.

Formula of Prussian Blue
I posted a correction to the structure of Prussian Blue and less than a day later someone else changed it back. Since there seems to be some confusion (and since whoever changed it back does appear to know a few things about chemistry), I’ll post this here first and give everyone a chance to respond before I re-edit the article.

Prussian Blue is a cubic structure of Fe(II), Fe(III), and cyanide. In a perfect crystal of PB each Fe atom is coordinated octahedraly to six cyanide ligands, with Fe(III) coordinated to the carbon end of cyanide and Fe(II) coordinated to the nitrogen end. This structure would result in a net charge imbalance of –1 per formula unit. There are two ways that PB can adapt its structure to cope with this charge imbalance. First, it can incorporate alkali cations into the interstitial spaces of the lattice. Such cations are generally available during PB formation, since nearly all synthesis procedures involve the use of alkali salts like K3Fe(CN)6 or KCN. Second, it can randomly leave out cyanide ligands to correct the charge imbalance – this occurs to a large extent if an exotic synthesis procedure that doesn’t involve alkali cations is used, but will still occur to a smaller extent even if alkali cations are availale. If the PB is made in an aqueous solution (or simply left sitting out in air for very long) water will work its way into to lattice and coordinate to the Fe atoms where the cyanide ligands would have been.

You often see people write the formula as something along the lines of Fe7(CN)18 in an attempt to make the charges balance, but that’s not correct – and if you think about it for a moment, it should be clear you can’t form PB’s classic simple cubic structure if you have seven Fe atoms to every six cyanide ligand. -April 4th, 2006

 * I was the reverter back the formula back to hydrated Fe7(CN)18, although I expanded the section to explain the case further. This formula is what inorganic chemists accept PB per Andreas Ludi, who solved the structure.
 * I also used to think that the formula was as you indicate, which would certainly make PB easier to explain to students. You are referring to an expanded ReO3 structure - all metals octahedral with CN "rods" connecting them.  Some PB relatives like that may exist, but PB is not one of them, at least according to inorganic dogma.  PB is more complicated than the ReO3 motif - it is metal deficient.  Take a look at the Ludi's paper or Dunbar's review.  I realize that I possibly are being too dogmatic.  Hence my comment that PB might be whatever blue stuff crashes out when you mix Fe(III) and ferrocyanide.  Also, I agree with the implication of your comments - hydrated Fe7(CN)18 would have no ion-exchanging possibilities (unless one deprotonates Fe(III)-OH2 units, replacing H+ with Tl+ or Cs+).  I admit to not fully understanding this bit, and I assume that the "medical grade" PB, used to sequester Tl+ tends toward the formula that you indicate, with K+ in the framework.

Thank you for taking the time to explore this issue on the Talk page, yours--Smokefoot 15:59, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Question: There's a part in the article that reads, as of now, "14< x <16" as if this were some range of x values. Since x in this context would have to be an integer, if this is correct it should forgo using x at all and just put 15. If it should include 14 and 16 as possible values, it should either be "13 < x < 17" or "14 ≤ x ≤ 16" to be correct (if those aren't showing up properly for anyone, they should be less than or equal signs). As a math person, I had to point this out, I hope somebody takes the time to fix it, I would but I don't know which is correct. 149.43.x.x 01:47, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Tools and gauges?
If prussian blue is in fact used as a tool or gauge in metalworking, could someone add something about how it's used in that way in the article? Someone following the link from Measuring tools and gauges will be frustrated if there's nothing in the article about it. Chuck 19:36, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Connection to Zyklon-B
I've heard that the term Prussian Blue was used to refer to the residue of Zyklon-B left in Nazi gas chambers. Can anyone confirm this information? Is it worth adding to the article? Pburka 18:45, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

In an earlier version of this page there was a paragraph about it:

''Because of the above mentioned there is a controversy among pseudo-scientists trying to disprove the holocaust. It is a common argument that because the levels of cyanide (Prussian blue) are higher on the walls of the delousing chambers than the homicide chambers, the homicide chambers were not used to any extent. Anyone that understands the properties of iron bonded cyanide and cyanide gas can easily refute this.''

But this was removed to maintain Wikipedia's NPOV. I feel as if it should be put back in the article, the NPOV violations arn't that bad, and easily editied.

Also removed (without explanation) were the references to the two bands which use the name Prussian Blue

In regards to the bands called Prussian Blue: The NPOV violations were getting terrible. The discussion board about the neo-nazi band Prussian blue turned into a "Jews are evil and control everything, all non-white races are crap" fun fest. It contained blatant, overwheming amounts of racism and anti-semitism. I think it was just too much to monitor.

Duo
Off topic material needs to go to a different page, reference by a dablink (See disambiguation). I was going to do it myself, but the material (below) is too poorly written at this stage to use for a stub. -St|eve 21:52, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Prussian Blue is the name of a singing duo from the United States. It is comprised of twin girls, 13 years old, named Lynx and Lamb. Their entire act is based upon their hatred of black people and Jews and their love of the Aryan race. Even at 13 years old they are very concerned about maintaining the purity of their race. This could possibly point to a promiscuous future in order to propogate their species more fully on the earth. They also enjoy dancing around a swastika symbol taped to their kitchen floor, and wearing Adolf Hitler smiley face shirts.

Their fame rose after the duo was featured on a segment of ABC's Primetime on October 20, 2005.

They derive their name from the color Prussian Blue, and from the fact that they claim to be German and have blue eyes.

Name
I assume the chemical was invented in Berlin, hence its name. Is this correct? Bastie 03:48, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

It has been invented in Berlin by Diesbach, thus the name "Berliner Blau". The name "Preußisch Blau" comes from the fact that it was the color of prussion uniforms before they siwthced to camouflage "Feldgrau".

 * Can I add ferriferrocyanide as another name? It's listed on paint, but I don't know if it's chemically identical. Njál 15:48, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

question
What would happen if I mixed prussian blue paint with vinegar and then inhaled the vapour?

 * No clue, don't try it (sabrinaneo).

antidote
Isn't this some kind of antidote for something?

 * Nope. (sabrinaneo).

 * Yes, as mentioned in the article it can be used to treat some kinds of metal poisoning.

Kumiho

A kumiho or gumiho (, literally "nine-tailed fox") is a creature that appears in the folktales on East Asia and legends of Korea. It is similar to the Chinese huli jing, the Japanese kitsune and the Vietnamese hồ ly tinh. It can freely transform into a beautiful woman often set out to seduce men, and eat their liver or heart (depending on the legend). There are numerous tales in which the kumiho appears, several of which can be found in the encyclopedic Compendium of Korean Oral Literature (한국 구비문학 대계/韓國口碑文學).

Description
The old Chinese text Classic of Mountains and Seas, the earliest record to document the nine-tailed fox, mentioned that the fox with nine tails came from and lived in the country called Qingqiu three hundreds miles east, the term meaning "green hill" interpreted as the country or region of the east and was later historically used to refer to the region of Korea at least since the era during the Three Kingdoms of Korea. However, the name of Gojoseon (called Joseon in the record), the Korean kingdom that existed along with other minor states of the Korean peninsula at the time, was separately introduced in the same record.

Kumiho and other versions of the nine-tailed fox myths and folklores share a similar concept. All explain fox spirits as being the result of great longevity or the accumulation of energy, said to be foxes who have lived for a thousand years, and give them the power of shapeshifting, usually appearing in the guise of a woman. However, while China's huli jing and Japan's kitsune are often depicted as either good, evil or neutral, the kumiho is almost always treated as a malignant figure who feasts on human flesh or a neutral aligned figure attempting to gain more power in its quest to become a higher being, which often involves eating or stealing souls from humans. It is unclear at which point in time Koreans began viewing the kumiho as a purely evil creature, since many ancient texts mention the benevolent kumiho assisting humans (and even make mentions of wicked humans tricking kind but naïve kumiho).

In later literature, kumiho were often depicted as bloodthirsty half-fox, half-human creatures that wandered cemeteries at night, digging human hearts out from graves. The fairy tale The Fox Sister depicts a fox spirit preying on a family for their livers. However there are also many stories in Korean literature from this era detailing the kumiho falling in love with a human and choosing not to eat them in order to be with their lover often having to do with, if a kumiho refrains from eating humans for 1000 days it too, will become human.

Knowledge beads
A prominent feature that separates the kumiho from its two counterparts (although, both Japanese Kitsune and Chinese Huli Jing having their own versions of “knowledge beads”, in the form of Kitsune’s starball and Huli Jing’s “golden elixir” neidan) is the existence of a 'yeowoo guseul' (여우구슬, literally meaning fox marble/bead) which is said to consist of knowledge. According to Korean mythology, the yeowoo guseul provides power to the kumiho and knowledge (and intelligence) to people if they can steal and swallow one. The kumiho can absorb humans' energy with it. The method of absorbing energy with the "yeowoo guseul" resembles a "deep kiss" (i.e. a kiss using a tongue). The kumiho sends the yeowoo guseul into people's mouths and then retakes it with their tongues. If that person swallows the yeowoo guseul, however, and then observes "sky, land, and people", each observation gives the observer preternatural knowledge. But the person fails to watch the "sky" in most tales, so they get a special ability but not the most important one.

Powers
Most legends state that while a gumiho was capable of changing its appearance, there is still something persistently fox-like about it (i.e. a foxy face, a set of ears, or the tell-tale nine tails) or a magical way of forcing; its countenance changes, but its nature does not. In Transformation of the Kumiho (구미호의 변신), a kumiho transforms into the identical likeness of a bride at a wedding and is only discovered when her clothes are removed. Bakh Mun-su and the Kumiho (박문수와 구미호) records an encounter that Pak Munsu has with a girl, living alone in the woods, that has a foxy appearance. In The Maiden who Discovered a Kumiho through a Chinese Poem (한시로 구미호를 알아낸 처녀), the kumiho is ultimately revealed when a hunting dog catches the scent of a fox and attacks. Although they have the ability to change forms, the true identity of a kumiho was said to be zealously guarded by the kumiho themselves. Some tales say that if a kumiho abstains from killing and eating humans for a thousand days, it can become human.

Much like changelings, werewolves or vampires in Western lore, there are always variations on the myth depending on the liberties that each story takes with the legend. One version of the mythology, however, holds that with enough will, a kumiho could further ascend from its yogoe (spirit) state, become permanently human and lose its evil character. Explanations of how this could be achieved vary, but sometimes include aspects such as refraining from killing or tasting meat for a thousand days, or obtaining a cintamani and making sure that the Yeoiju saw the full moon at least every month during the ordeal. Unlike its two counterparts, kumiho were not thought to be capable of omnipotence or creation at will, since they were lesser creatures.

Talk:DAA (Irish company)

Untitled
Was there any controversy about the move from an Irish-language name to an English-language one? Loganberry (Talk) 02:03, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't believe so, many state companies now are prescribed English and Irish names and tend to use the commerically most attractive rather than patriotism which was in fashion (and a false style is also recently coming to the fore in society generally).
 * Off the point Aer Rianta was a classic state enterprise - was it the best of centralised state thinking (e.g. giving ireland three strategic international airports when we had little infrastructure or money) or a monolith for interest groups (e.g. civil servants and employees who attempted to control it at the disadvantage of the travelling public)? That controversy, if anything, will be the history of the authority. Djegan 16:33, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Took out the bit about "Aer Rianta Limited" - did a CRO search to confirm no such company is currently registered in Ireland - the State Airports Act prescribes Dublin Airport Authority plc as the ultimate parent company and Aer Rianta International cpt is a subsidary which for the moment has kept the Aer Rianta name. --Rdd 19:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

22:56 10/11/2011 ROK — Preceding unsigned comment added by ROK123 (talk • contribs) 22:57, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

DAA or daa
The official name for the company is daa plc, which was changed from DAA plc in 2014 source. While DAA is mentioned throughout wikipedia and daa has been reverted back to DAA, since 2014 the official name for the company is daa. It has been mentioned that in MOS:TM Using all-caps is preferred if the letters are pronounced individually, even if they don't (or no longer) stand for anything. but also mentions: Using all-lowercase letters may likewise be acceptable if it is done universally by sources.

While all sources have DAA since that was the official name for the company (2004-2014), for the past 2 years the name is now daa, and all sources should be updated? ~ Ablaze (talk) 13:40, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

 * As far as can see, all independent reliable sources since then still use DAA. All the independent sources from 2015/16 referred to in this article and Dublin Airport -  - use "DAA". I can't find any using "daa". And even if they did, there's still the MOS policy.  — Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 14:02, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

 * There are sources that use daa including RTÉand others. The fact that there is a decade of publications that use DAA to stand for the Dublin Airport Authority change doesn't come easy. The company changed its name in 2014. Read name change here. Most sources and publication will continue to incorrectly refer to the daa as the Dublin Airport Authority or DAA when the organisation changed its name to reflects the Group’s business focus and ethos. Does this mean Wikipedia should also be one of these places and not strive to show the correct name for the company?
 * On reading the name change press release I also propose to move the page to daa for its current page. As for the MOS policy, it clearly states: 'Using all-lowercase letters may likewise be acceptable if it is done universally by sources. The primary source, the actual company should be taken into account and their desire for a name change should be reflected with the article. ~ Ablaze (talk) 16:31, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * No, the company's wishes are irrelevant. See MOS:TM. The policy you quote says "Using all-lowercase letters may likewise be acceptable if it is done universally by sources" (my bolding). As is obvious, it is not done universally, and even if it was it only may be acceptable subject to other considerations. — Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 17:01, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I see also that two of the sources you quote use "DAA" in the headlines, while another uses "Daa" in the text. And RTE seem to have settled on DAA now:  — Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 17:39, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

List of pterosaur genera

This list of pterosaurs is a comprehensive listing of all genera that have ever been included in the order Pterosauria, excluding purely vernacular terms. The list includes all commonly accepted genera, but also genera that are now considered invalid, doubtful (nomen dubium), or were not formally published (nomen nudum), as well as junior synonyms of more established names, and genera that are no longer considered pterosaurian. The list currently includes 268 genera.

Scope and terminology
There is no official, canonical list of pterosaur genera, but the most thorough attempts can be found at the Pterosauria section of Mikko Haaramo's Phylogeny Archive, the Genus Index at Mike Hanson's The Pterosauria, supplemented by the Pterosaur Species List, and in the fourth supplement of Donald F. Glut's Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia series.

Authors and year
The authors column lists the authors of the formal description responsible for the erection of the genus listed. They are not necessarily the same as the authors of the type species as sometimes a species from one genus is determined sufficiently distinct to warrant the erection of a new genus to house it. If this is the case, only the latter authors will be listed. The year column notes the year the description was published.

Status
Naming conventions and terminology follow the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Technical terms used include:
 * Junior synonym: A name which describes the same taxon as a previously published name. If two or more genera are formally designated and the type specimens are later assigned to the same genus, the first to be published (in chronological order) is the senior synonym, and all other instances are junior synonyms. Senior synonyms are generally used, except by special decision of the ICZN, but junior synonyms cannot be used again, even if deprecated. Junior synonymy is often subjective, unless the genera described were both based on the same type specimen.
 * Nomen nudum (Latin for "naked name"): A name that has appeared in print but has not yet been formally published by the standards of the ICZN. Nomina nuda (the plural form) are invalid, and are therefore not italicized as a proper generic name would be. If the name is later formally published, that name is no longer a nomen nudum and will be italicized on this list. Often, the formally published name will differ from any nomina nuda that describe the same specimen.
 * Preoccupied name: A name that is formally published, but which has already been used for another taxon. This second use is invalid (as are all subsequent uses) and the name must be replaced. As preoccupied names are not valid generic names, they will also go unitalicized on this list.
 * Nomen dubium (Latin for "dubious name"): A name describing a fossil with no unique diagnostic features. As this can be an extremely subjective and controversial designation, this term is not used on this list.

Age
The age column denotes the epoch of geologic time to which the fossils date. Genera that are invalid, misidentified, or otherwise do not represent a valid pterosaur are listed as age N/A because there was never a time in which a pterosaur by that generic name actually lived.

Location and notes
The location column designates the geographic region where remains of the relevant genus have been found. The regions used are continents except in the case of smaller landmasses (e.g. Cuba.) Political bodies, being non-existent in the Mesozoic are not used to indicate genera locations. Genera that are invalid, misidentified, or otherwise do not represent a valid pterosaur are listed as location N/A because there was never a place in which a pterosaur by that generic name actually lived. The notes column is a collection of annotations on the scientific significance and taxonomic history of listed genera, as well as elaborations on the information presented in other columns.

Oogenera
Although pterosaur eggs are known, some with complete embryos, no oogenera have been erected to house them. The holotype of the oospecies Oolithes sphaericus was briefly considered by Harry Govier Seeley to be pterosaurian in origin, although this attribution was dismissed before the formal erection of that oogenus.

Image Tagging Image:Copy of OSB pic.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Copy of OSB pic.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use or fairuse. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by going to "Your contributions" from your user page and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much.

Image copyright problem with Image:Merc battle2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Merc battle2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Longhair 01:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Palo Cortado

Palo Cortado is a rare variety of sherry that is initially aged under flor to become a fino or amontillado, but inexplicably loses its veil of flor and begins aging oxidatively as an oloroso. The result is a wine with some of the richness of oloroso and some of the crispness of amontillado. Only about 1–2% of the grapes pressed for sherry naturally develop into palo cortado.

Denomination
The name means 'cut stick', in reference to the mark made on the cask when this style of wine is recognized. Since the wine was originally destined to be a fino or amontillado, it will initially have had a single stroke marked on the cask. When the overseer realizes that the wine is becoming a palo cortado, he draws a cross (or cut) through the initial stroke (or stick), resulting in a crossed stroke or 'cut stick' ( / ). At this time the wine will be fortified to about 17.5% alcohol, to prevent spoilage from contact with the air. As the overseer continues to monitor the wine over time, he may feel it necessary to add more measures of alcohol to the cask to continue its development. These additional measures are marked on the cask as more crosses, with the resulting wine being designated 'dos cortados', 'tres cortados', etc. according to the number of 'cuts' marked on the cask. The greater the number of cuts, the older the wine.

Varieties

 * Jerez Cortado is a variety of palo cortado made not in Jerez, but in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, the most westerly of the three points of the 'Sherry Triangle', properly known as the denominación de Jerez. The city of Jerez is the most easterly point—and Puerto de Santa María lies southwest of that.

On 12 April 2012, the rules applicable to the sweet and fortified Denominations of Origin Montilla-Moriles and Jerez-Xérès-Sherry were changed. The classification by sweetness is:

Serving
Palo Cortado can be served as an apéritif with olives, nuts, cheese, or foie gras; it can also accompany fowl, red meats, or game. It should be served slightly chilled.

Storing
As palo cortado falls between amontillado and oloroso, it is relatively stable and may be stored for a few years before opening. After opening, it can be kept, corked and refrigerated, for a few weeks.

Barbeques Galore

Barbeques Galore is Australia's biggest specialist BBQs and outdoor furniture retailer, owned by Quadrant Private Equity It specializes in barbecue grills, accessories and consumables. There are over 90 stores in Australia, and several authorised dealers internationally.

With brands including Ziegler and Brown, Kamado Joe, Prosmoke, Traeger, Beefeater, and Saxon, Barbeques Galore offers a wide range of gas and solid fuel barbeques, fuels and consumables, accessories, heating, and outdoor furniture.

History
Barbeques Galore was founded by Max Mason in Sydney, Australia in 1977. The company expanded to the United States in 1980, opening a store in Santa Fe Springs, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. After ten years as a listed company on the Australian Stock Exchange, Barbeques Galore delisted in 1996, and soon after listed on the US NASDAQ. In late 2005, the firm was delisted from the NASDAQ after a leveraged buy-out by Australian venture capital firm, Ironbridge Capital. Ironbridge Capital split the Australian and US arms of the business into two separate entities (but retained ownership of both).

Following a severe downturn in business in the US, partly attributed to the fall in new housing on the back of the sub-prime mortgage crisis, Barbeques Galore USA filed for protection under Chapter 11 on 15 August 2008. Barbeques Galore US assets were purchased by Grand Home Holdings Inc. on 12 September 2008.

In 2016, the Australian company was acquired by Quadrant Private Equity. In 2019 Barbeques Galore's sales were close to the $200 million mark As part of a transformation of the brand, in 2020 Barbeques Galore launched a new TV campaign, ‘Now you’re cooking’, and also commenced the rollout of new design stores, creating a more engaging in-store experience. The company also added a number of new product ranges, including the introduction of fresh BBQ cuts of meat into a number of stores.

Later that year, Inside Retail included Barbeques Galore on its list of the 20 coolest retailers for 2020. In 2021, Barbeques Galore won Gold at the Sydney Design Awards for its new concept store in Everton Park, QLD, and in 2022 was a winner at the Australian Retail Innovators Awards for the development and launch of the BBQ Legends loyalty program.

In 2022 the company outlined growth plans to open a number of new stores, expand ranges in store and online, and make further investment in its systems.
