NATO
Please check any links you put into an article. One of your links to NATO led to a Microsoft home page, which we don't want, SqueakBox 16:32, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

There was a typo in the format, now fixed Asterion 18:33, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

It looks fine now. I couldn't see a good reason to have a special anti NATO section but having anti NATO articles is a good thing. I like the Solana article you put in but we already have it as the 5th article in the link section, SqueakBox 19:58, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism in Morocco- andWestern Sahara-related articles
===>No immediate solutions I genuinely believe that Fayssal edits in good faith, but I also believe that he has been heavily propagandized or can't see beyond his own political biases. On the other hand, Daryou has deliberately removed pertinent information, and I don't think has as much charity regarding actual neutrality in the dispute. I don't have a particular way of stopping their edits, other than contacting an administrator, and seeing if he thinks they amount to vandalism, or locking the pages. I think the best route is to discuss the issue on the Talk pages, as Fayssal has made some germane points on Western Sahara's page, and I think I should edit the page with them in mind. Justin (koavf) 18:36, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks very much. I have compromised before i.e. replacing "illegaly occupied" by "occupied" but he still reverts them to his original edits. Asterion 19:03, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

please use my page of discussion
hello, I'm not a vandal and I will not be one. I just restored the page of WS to a previous version of Fayssal that's all. I'm trying to discuss (see the page of discussion of WS), You'll see that Koavf admit that he's not neutral. he is imposing informations about SADR (flag president, etc) in an infobox. I think that this infobox musn't be here. I can stop editing this page if Koavf stop doing it. Daryou 21:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Daryou
please help me to erease the infobox of SADR from the page WS. Koavf is accusing me of vandalism just because I don't have the same POV of him. He recognized his pro-polisario opinion so I don't understand why he continues to edit the page while he's not neutral??!!! I just reverted the page to a previous version (Last Fayssal's version) So why is he accusing me of vandalism and not Fayssal or Icairns (see the history of the page), Is it just because I'm new in WP or what??. Please help me. I just want to discuss. Daryou 16:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I think that the best way to resolve the dispute is to request a Mediation, what do you think about it? Daryou 20:33, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Non-Catholics
Is the view that secret Arianists helped Muslims generalized? What about the part of gate openers played by Jews in Medieval chronicles? Is it true or just anti-Semitic? --Error 01:19, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

There is not much published in English, I am afraid. I would recommend you any of the books by Luisa Isabel Alvarez de Toledo. She is the current Duchess of Medina Sidonia, and holder of one of the largest historical archives in Spain. All her books are in Spanish only.

You could also try to dig out an old book in French called Les arabes n'ont jamais envahi l'Espagne, by Ignacio Olagüe. However I am critic of this one for several reasons. If you manage to find it, also look out for Les arabes ont bien envahi l'Espagne, an article published in Annales E.S.C, by Prof. Guichard.

Regarding Sephardim, check the separate wikipedia article, recently updated Asterion 16:40, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Spanish History
I'm the person who wrote the "Modern Spain" article. I know my english level is quite sub-par, especially relating to translation skills and spelling mistakes, however, there was no data for Spanish history from the restoration (1870s) until the modern days, and I was studying it at the time, so I decided to create the basic articles to draw some attention to it. And you are indeed right, my english level is only secondary, as i am a native Spanish living in Spain Zespris 21:10, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Zespris, I did not intend to offend you. Wikipedia is a common project and I was not criticising you. Simply it was a call for someone else to help out. You have done more than enough just creating the original article. Saludos, Asterion 21:13, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Catalan Countries
You seem to have removed on Feb. 25 the subheading about the validity and views about the term. I know (i was one of the contributors, see the talk page) that it was far from perfect. The term and their implications are highly controversial, and we wanted thru this heading to put a balanced account of the different views about it. Wikipedia should be NPOV, and that includes to show in cases like this the different facets of the problem, so I think it should be restored (and if possible with a higher quality redaction.

Abercych

Abercych (or Abercuch, ) is a small village in the community of Manordeifi, northeast Pembrokeshire in South West Wales, located approximately 1/3 mi from the tripoint of the counties of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. The village developed from a number of small settlements along the west bank of Afon Cych, which flows into the River Teifi nearby, giving the village its name, meaning "mouth of the Cych".

The village has two pubs, one of which brews its own beer, two chapels and a care farm.

Description
Abercych is a village in the parish and community of Manordeifi, Pembrokeshire, of fewer than 100 houses scattered mostly along the sides of a small lane that runs along the western slopes of the Cych valley. It is 5.5 mi from the nearest town, Newcastle Emlyn.

The village is rural with no industry except for a timber sawmill at the western end of the village. It has a village hall which hosts the Manordeifi Community Council meetings every other month, and two public houses: The Penrhiw Inn and The Nag's Head; the latter used to have its own microbrewery.

There is a number of small 'cottage industries' in the village including the magazine Sacred Hoop.

An annual dance festival has been held in the village since 2013.

Clynfyw
Clynfyw (also recorded as Clynfiew) is a 16th-century mansion rebuilt in the 18th century, It was owned by David Lloyd of Clement's Inn, London, who sold it to David Llewelin of Penalltcych, Clydey, in 1685. Llewelin's grandson, Owen Davies of Westminster, sold the estate in 1753 to Thomas Lewis of Llwyngrawys, Llangoedmor, Cardiganshire. The large Clynfiew collection of estate records from 1542 to 1916 is lodged at the National Library of Wales. Since the mid-1980s Clynvyw has been a Community interest company care farm registered with Care Inspectorate Wales. The farm has eight live-in staff and up to 40 day-students working on practical projects. In 2020, the manager, Jim Bowen, whose family have run the farm since the 18th century, accepted a Queen's Award for Enterprise from the Prince of Wales, its second such award.

History
Abercych is an ancient settlement, the Welsh placename of which means 'the mouth of the Afon Cych', referring to where the Cych joins the River Teifi. The earliest recorded settlement was a forge, now no longer in existence. The linear nature of the present village arose from the joining up of several discrete settlements: Pont Hercws, Forge Cych, Penrhiw, Pont Treseli and Abercych itself. There were about 30 houses in the 1840s.

Worship
The village has two chapels: Ramoth Baptist Chapel (built 1827), and Bryn Sion Independent Chapel (built 1831).

Folklore
The Cych is a small river, which is connected with the realm of Annwn in the ancient Welsh tale of Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed, the first of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi. There are several places on the upper reaches of the Cych that are seen as an entry point to the 'other worlds' (fairy realms), and there are some folk tales told by some local people about the magical nature of river and the valley.

Favorite Characters
Fictional characters are the coolest things about any media. I prefer the crazy, strange, zany and sometimes bad ass kind. Most people like to watch anime and stuff because of the action or romance kind of thing. That kind if thing makes great settings but I enjoy watching the characters develop. Here are my favorite fictional characters.

 * 1. Wario - I bet you didn't see that coming
 * 2. Vegeta - He could kill Goku and you know it!
 * 3. Salad Fingers - He's not anime or anything but he is still cool.
 * 4. Chibi Goku - It's a shame he sucks as an adult.
 * 5. Blanka - ZAP!
 * 6. Lupin - Best thief in the world
 * 7. Majin Buu - Last villain of Dragon Ball
 * 8. Jigen - I just love that show!
 * 9. Mai Shiranui - Hot!
 * 10. Tingle - From Zelda!

Halogenated ether

A halogenated ether is a subcategory of a larger group of chemicals known as ethers. An ether is an organic chemical that contains an ether group—an oxygen atom connected to two (substituted) alkyl groups. A good example of an ether is the solvent diethyl ether. What differentiates a halogenated ether from other types of ethers is the substitution (halogenation) of one or more hydrogen atoms with a halogen atom. Halogen atoms include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.

Use in anesthesiology
Perhaps the most common use of halogenated ethers has been in anesthesiology. The first widely used inhalation anesthetic was diethyl ether, which is a non-substituted (non-halogenated) ether. This drug enabled surgeons to perform otherwise painful operations on patients after rendering them unconscious.

Diethyl ether has the unfortunate disadvantage of being extremely flammable, especially in the presence of enriched oxygen mixtures. This property has resulted in many instances of fires and even explosions in operating rooms during surgery. This is among the most important reasons that diethyl ether has fallen out of favor as a general anesthetic. Diethyl ether is still commonly used as a solvent and reagent in organic chemistry laboratories, though with caution.

Diethyl ether was initially replaced by non-flammable (but more toxic) halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform and trichloroethylene. Halothane is another halogenated hydrocarbon anesthetic agent which was introduced into clinical practice in 1956. Due to its ease of use and improved safety profile with respect to organ toxicity, halothane quickly replaced chloroform and trichloroethylene.

All inhalation anesthetics in current clinical use are halogenated ethers, except for halothane (which is a halogenated hydrocarbon or haloalkane), nitrous oxide, and xenon.

Halogenated ethers have the advantages of being non-flammable as well as less toxic than earlier general anesthetics. Halogenated ethers differ from other ethers because they contain at least one halogen atom in each molecule. Examples of halogenated ethers include the general anesthetics isoflurane, desflurane, and sevoflurane. However, not all halogenated ethers have anesthetic effects, and some compounds such as flurothyl do the opposite and have stimulant and convulsant effects.

Inhalation anesthetics are vaporized and mixed with other gases prior to their inhalation by the patient before or during surgery. These other gases always include oxygen or air, but may also include other gases such as nitrous oxide or helium. In most surgical situations, other drugs such as opiates are used for pain and skeletal muscle relaxants are used to cause temporary paralysis. Additional drugs such as midazolam may be used to produce amnesia during surgery. Although newer intravenous anesthetics (such as propofol) have increased the options of anesthesiologists, halogenated ethers remain a mainstay of general anesthesia.

Star Wars Holiday Special: Australian Screenings
Um, what? If you're going to make such a claim, could you please back it up? I certainly don't recall this ever taking place! Fastbak77 10:34, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * "It was broadcast once again in the late 1990s as part of the ABC's youth series Recovery."
 * I have responded on your talk page. I don't see why I must back up my claim made to a list of reported sightings, yet somehow you are immune yourself. — Yama 16:18, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * If someone wants to correct me on my claims, then great, so as long as there's proof extant to that end. And no, I'm not a lawyer, but prior to the Nine Network obtaining the screening rights, Channel Ten aired the Star Wars films, along with the Holiday Special. Ergo, I strongly doubt that the ABC could've aired the Holiday Special on 'Recovery' - at least, in its entirety. I suspect that it may have been excerpted, though (that makes more sense from a legal standpoint, as it'd come under 'fair use' for journalistic purposes) - it'd be pretty much along the lines of what the show covered (like Monkey, as you pointed out).

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Art Gallery of Greater Victoria

The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria (AGGV) is an art museum located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Situated in Rockland, Victoria, the museum occupies a 26,635 sqft building complex; made up of the Spencer Mansion, and the Exhibition Galleries. The former building component was built in 1889, while the latter component was erected in the mid-20th century.

The institution was established in 1946 as the Little Centre in downtown Victoria. In 1951, the institution was gifted the Spencer Mansion in the neighbourhood of Rockland, and moved into the building in the same year. The institution was renamed the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria when it opened at the Spencer Mansion. From 1955 to 1978, the museum underwent a series of expansions to the building in order to expand the viewing space of its building.

Its collection works from Canadian artists, indigenous Canadian artists, and other artists from across the Pacific Rim. The museum has also organized and hosted a number of travelling arts exhibitions. The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria has the largest collection of works out of any art museum in British Columbia, with approximately 20,000 works in its permanent collection.

History
The art museum was established by former members of the Vancouver Island branch of the Federation of Canadian Artists, and other members of the local arts community in 1946 as the Little Centre. The Little Centre operated at a former car dealership in downtown Victoria from 1946 to 1951. In 1951, the museum moved into the Spencer Mansion, which was donated to the institution in the same year by Sarah Spencer. The institution was renamed the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria when it reopened at the Spencer Mansion. While the building has been used as an art museum since 1951, it continued to serve as a residence for the building's caretakers through the 1960s.

Shortly after moving into the Spencer Mansion, the museum undertook a series of renovations and expansions, constructing an expansion wing known as the Exhibition Galleries. The Exhibition Galleries were built in several phases, with the first gallery in the building expansion opened in 1958, and the last opened in 1978.

In 2012, the museum announced it was looking for architects to design its expansion of the Exhibition Galleries. In 2015, the municipal government approved the expansion, which included an additional 11000 sqft of exhibition space, as well as the construction of a new cafe, and lecture hall. Construction was originally planned to begin in late 2019, although rising materials and construction costs led to the development to be postponed. The museum plans to close its building during construction, and exhibit its collection at off-site locations throughout Victoria.

Architecture
The building of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria is made up of two components, the Spencer Mansion, and the Exhibition Galleries. The former is a re-purposed Victorian style residence built in 1889, whereas the latter is a modernist style expansion wing of seven galleries, built in phases from the 1950s to 1978. The combined museum building takes up 26,635 sqft of space.

Spencer Mansion
The Spencer Mansion was built in 1889, and was designed by William Ridgeway Wilson. The Spencer Mansion was once a part of a larger property, originally stretching from Fort Street to Rockland Avenue; incorporating a garden, two tennis courts, stables and a coach house. The Spencer Mansion had a belvedere, with a view of the ocean. The Victorian era home was originally built for the Green family, who named the building Gyppeswyk, the Old English name for Ipswich. When Cary Castle, the original Government House, was destroyed by fire in 1903, Gyppeswyck served briefly as the residence of the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. The building was donated in 1951 by Sarah Spencer to the institution that became the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

The exterior of the building has been painted in several different colour schemes since its construction. In 1975 it was painted cream in order to coordinate with the brick used for one of the Exhibition Galleries. The building was re-painted back to its original colour scheme of dark red, dark green, and pale salmon in 2004. The original colour scheme was ascertained after peeling through the building's 15 layers of paint. The building's eastern facade, and portions of the northern facade were largely destroyed with the construction of the first galleries of the Exhibition Galleries during the 1950s. The loss of the porte-cochère, and the installation of a north-side glass-enclosed staircase during the construction of the Exhibition Galleries makes Spencer Mansion inadmissible for designation as a heritage building. The interior of the building has undergone significant changes since its construction, either conducted by the museum, or by previous owners of the building. However, the building still retains a number of features from its original construction, including its original fireplace, ornate tiles and woodworking on the southeast corner of the second floor. In 2004, several renovation works undertaken on the building, including the reconstruction of the rooftop Palladian window, and providing a seismic retrofit to the building's chimney.

The first floor of the Spencer Mansion houses the museum's gift shop, and art rental and sales office. The former bedrooms on the second floor serve as the museum`s offices, and library, while the museum's archives are located in the building's attic.

Exhibition Galleries
From 1955 to 1978, the museum expanded the building by constructing seven galleries in a modernist expansion wing adjacent to the eastern portion of the mansion, collectively known as the Exhibition Galleries. The first two fireproof galleries were opened in 1958 and 1959, and were known as the Centennial Galleries. Its namesake commemorates the centennial of the establishment of the Colony of British Columbia. The final renovations during this period occurred in 1978, which saw the renovation of two of its larger exhibition galleries, as well as repairs to the Spencer Mansion.

Renovations to the Exhibition Galleries were conducted from 2001 to 2003. Work on the Exhibition Galleries included the installation a new climate control system, enabling the museum to host travelling exhibitions that include works which need a climate controlled environment. Work on the museum's entrance at the Exhibition Galleries, and its corridors was also conducted during these renovations.

Permanent collection
As of September 2019, the museum has approximately 20,000 works in its permanent collection, providing the institution with the largest collection of works of any art museum in British Columbia. However, because of the limited size of the museum building, only five per cent of the permanent collection is able to be exhibited in the museum's exhibition galleries. Its collection is divided into a number of departments including Asian art, Canadian art, contemporary art, decorative art, and indigenous Canadian art.

Asian art
The museum's collection of Asian art is made up of approximately 8,000 works, comprising 40 per cent of the museum's total collection. With approximately 8,000 Asian works, the museum holds the second largest collection of Asian art in Canada, after the Royal Ontario Museum. While the collection of Asian works includes items from all over Asia (including South Asia, and Western Asia), the focus of the Asian collection is primarily on works from China, and Japan. The museum's collection of Chinese works is believed to have increased significantly in value in the first decades of the 21st century, due to China's economic growth, and renewed interests for art from that region. The museum's collection of Asian art features old and new works, including bronze objects, ceramics, textiles, and amber and ivory carvings. The museum's Asian collection was started in 1973 by the museum's first director, Colin Graham. Two Japanese prints, acquired by the museum in the 1950s, were the first two items that formed the Asian collection. Other works from the exhibit includes a Chinese painting valued at C$6 million in 2016, and a Japanese byōbu created by Kanō Sanraku. The byōbu features a depiction of a peacock displaying its plumage next to a pine tree, painted on a gold leaf. The 197 cm by 370 cm byōbu was donated to the museum in 1995, and was restored with cooperation from the Government of Japan for approximately C$150,000. The byōbu was valued at C$500,000 in 2016. The museum's outdoor Asian garden includes the only Meiji era Shinto shrine in North America.

Healthcare in Cuba
Hi, an issue concerning referencing has been discussed on the Healthcare of Cuba page, and your name came up. Since you created the page, there has been a considerable amount of work put in by myself and others, including the creation of extensive footnotes using the cite: format. User Ultramarine has requested that as per Wikipedia policy, we change this back to the basic [1] reference system and follow the style you initially implemented. Would you care to comment?--Zleitzen 05:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I was told to take out everything because it had been previously established as Simpson fan cruft. And, after seeing some of the episodes listed in sections (ie. the Carl example), I just cleared every section I came upon. -- Scorpion 19:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It should also be noted that if you are preparing the Moe page for a run at GA, the references are in the wrong format and the page will likely not pass with a list like that. Having a category for Moe episodes is an ideal solution: It wouldn't count as list cruft and you could have an easy link from the page. -- Scorpion 19:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to help here and while I understand that having a list means it would be organized and easy to read, but like it or not, most would call it cruft. There was a time when I also would probably have tried to protect such a list, but Wikipedia is not a Simpsons fan site. So, I take it that you dislike the idea of making an "episodes featuring Moe" category and tagging each episode page with a Moe episode with it? -- Scorpion 19:41, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As for style, check out the Homer page and try to copy its format. It's a GA. -- Scorpion 19:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think categories would be deleted if we as a WikiProject came to the consensus that they are okay. Plus, we'd have a strong argument to keep them. Check out this page to see how easily accessible they are. Just add at the bottom "See Also" then "List of Moe-centric episodes" -- Scorpion 19:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I meant a category list. Make a category for it, ie "Category:The Simpsons episodes featuring Mr. Burns" then add it to each page. -- Scorpion 20:00, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you may have misunderstood. I don't mean start a Wikipedia page, I mean start a category, put said category on every episode page for an episode that features said character and then add a link to that category from that characters page. -- Scorpion 20:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I replied to your comment on my talk page... - Adolphus79 20:14, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

New response
It's funny because I came up with the idea for categories because you wanted to have useless character lists so much. Also, you should have waited until we had a full consensus instead of rushing off and trying to be the very first to get started. The project has decided several times past and present that episodes lists are cruft and not needed. You don't see an "episodes this character featured in" list on the Archie Bunker or Hawkeye Pierce page, do you? -- Scorpion 21:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Cruft?
Yes. I've pointed Scorpion to some relevant guidelines on lists and categories (and the lack of one for "cruft") but have so far failed to convince him that it's really not important that some people might consider such a list "cruft". Perhaps a WP:RFC on the matter would help. I'll take a look at the wikiproject, time permitting.  > R a d i a n t <  16:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Energy portal review
Hi Takethemud. Knowing that you have an interest in an unconnected featured portal, I wondered if you might like to comment on the one I've been working on - energy portal - which is now under consideration for featured status.

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Kang Kodos Hitchhiking.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Kang Kodos Hitchhiking.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Replaceable fair use File:The Talpiot Tomb.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The Talpiot Tomb.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:50, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge  has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:55, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

John Cena
"However, the plan going into WrestleMania 22, at least according to wrestling insiders, is that Cena will defend the WWE Championship against Triple H. Although Triple H did not win the Royal Rumble, that potential match is now a possibility."

Where did you get the above information from? The Insider magazine or their website? "X" is to match "Y" is ALWAYS subject to change and when its written it typically cites the people who are the current title holder and challenger. If its from the magazine, its old and incorrect information. If its from the website, did it have today's date on it, or was it written earlier? If it was written earlier, then its probably also, incorrect. We try not to include information of a speculative nature as much as possible in articles because Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. If the info is old, it needs to be removed. --Naha|(talk) 02:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Red vs. Blue character signature weapons
Hi Roguemaster83,

Please stop inserting the "signature_weapon" field into Red vs. Blue character infoboxes. That parameter doesn't actually exist, so your edits don't actually do anything. Even if it did exist, it would be non-neutral and/or original research to label something a signature weapon unless that reference has been made in a reliable source. — TKD::Talk 05:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm reverting you again because you missed the point; the adjective "signature" is promoting an unsourced point of view, which is original research unless it's cited to a reliable source (forums and most blogs don'tcount). — TKD::Talk 05:09, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:MTV Video Music Awards

Featured artists counted / not counted
The "most wins" source shows that MTV never counted featured artists... until 2014 when they reported I Azalea as the artist with the second most nominations, most of them coming from "Problem" (Ariana G feat I Azalea). Then, in 2015 they didn't count featured artists, as they announced Taylor Swift as the artist with the most nominations, when Kendrick Lamar–thanks to "Bad Blood" and his own videos–was the most mentioned in the list. 2016 and 2017 is not clear. This year, they counted featured artists. CC:. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 06:41, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Then Rihanna should only be listed as a 5-time winner, no? "Live Your Life" won in 2009, and "This Is What You Came For" won in 2016.  She was listed as a 6-time winner before I edited, hence my question. Andresg770 (talk) 07:01, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * In 2009 MTV didn't count featured acts, in 2016 Billboard counted them as nominees. It should be explained with a note, because a normal reader (or fan) will be asking by this one yes and that one not. It's lowkey messy. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 07:09, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Ugh, this would all be fixed easily if MTV brought back that "Biggest Winners" webpage they used to have. But considering that they still haven't even re-added all the nominations to the individual VMA pages in the archive, I'm not hopeful that's happening anytime soon...

– For consistency with other articles, the official name of the event is MTV Video Music Awards (plural), not MTV Video Music Award (singular, without s). This RM needs to be apply for MTV Europe Music Award and MTV Pilipinas Music Award, which the official name of event is MTV Europe Music Awards and MTV Pilipinas Music Awards as per all MTV regional music awards ceremony that has a plural name instead singular (MTV African Music Awards, MTV Asian Awards, etc). 110.137.186.235 (talk) 08:42, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Will only support changing MTV Video Music Award to plural like Academy Awards. Zzyzx11 (talk) 10:23, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I tell that you not only MTV VMA use plural for awarding ceremony, MTV EMA officially use plural name as well in their EMA website, all sources, etc, same as now-defunct MTV Pilipinas Music Awards apart from individual categories. 110.137.186.235 (talk) 09:48, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Those two other pages were added to the list after I made my original comment. It still stands that the individual ones should remain singular like Academy Award for Best Picture, and I will only support to rename the ceremonies to plural like Academy Awards.

 * Support renaming award ceremony, oppose renaming individual categories. Same reasons as the ones given above (though I do appreciate the irony that the reason why the name of this article was changed to the singular in the first place was exactly the same: to keep consistency with other award article titles that had also been changed that way). Andresg770 (talk) 01:39, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Support moving award ceremony only I'm so surprised to see that from any MTV Music Awards articles, MTV VMA, EMA, and Pilipinas Awards are three articles that using singular instead plural name. Because plural name is the official name for all awarding ceremonies and all reliable sources use plural name (with s), Three articles should be moved to all plural names. In regards to all individual nomination categories, a singular name should be stay as present. 182.1.25.238 (talk) 09:25, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

History of naming choice?
Does anyone know the history or origin of the naming? Given the awards go to music videos, why was it not named the MTV Music Video Awards? Presumably there was some reason why MTV VMAs was chosen over MTV MVAs, but I cannot find any citations or commentary on the creation of this award show. Thelen Shar (talk) 07:38, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I sadly don't have any sources I could share with you. However, one thing I do remember is that in its early years (i.e., the 1980s), MTV used to promote itself as "the first 24-hour video music channel," as you can see in this 1981 promo where they not only use that tagline but also talk about a "video music party": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPnLbCYJ9Y8
 * My best guess is that the VMAs (which began shortly after in 1984) were named as such in reference to MTV's "video music" branding -- and while this reference needed no explanation to MTV viewers in the '80s, it got lost over time while the VMA name stuck. So, I don't know if you'll find any sources about the name of the VMAs per se, but you might have better luck finding why MTV used "video music" in its marketing back then (perhaps from a book about the history of MTV). Hope this helps! Andresg770 (talk) 19:35, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Aberdalgie

Aberdalgie (Gaelic: Obar Dheilgidh, 'Confluence of the Thorn-Stream') is a small village in the Scottish council area of Perth and Kinross. It is 3 mi southwest of Perth, and lies between the B9112 road, to the north, and the River Earn, to the south. Milltown Burn and Cotton Burn streams meet in the village centre, The village contains Aberdalgie Parish Church, the present building of which dates to 1773. The historic Dupplin Castle is 1+1/2 mi east of the village.

The parish of Aberdalgie takes its name from the village, which had a population of 402 at the 2011 Census.

Parish church
The current Parish Church of Aberdalgie is dated 1773, but an earlier building is believed to have originally dated to the pre-Reformation period. In 1618 it became the parish church of both Aberdalgie and Dupplin, when the parishes united. It was designated a Category B-listed building in 1971.

The T-plan church features two large centre round-arched windows and doors with circular windows on either side. In 1929 the church interior was given a major renovation by Sir R.S. Lorimer. Aberdalgie churchyard contains the family vault where numerous medieval Chiefs of Clan Oliphant including the first three Lords Oliphant are buried. Prominent among them is Sir William Oliphant, the resolute Governor of Stirling Castle when it was defended against Edward I of England in 1304, during the Wars of Scottish Independence. Sir William's son Walter married Elizabeth, daughter of Robert I and sister of David II. Other people buried here include the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Baron Forteviot and author Norma Octavia Lorimer (1863-1948).

Dupplin Castle
Dupplin Castle lies within the parish. The earliest known owner of the castle was Sir William Oliphant in the late 13th century. Dupplin was sold after some four hundred years by the 5th Lord Oliphant (who, per the diploma registered under the Great Seal, 10 March 1640, was also Lord Aberdalgie and Lord Dupplin) in 1623. The castle was destroyed in 1461 and rebuilt. It was again rebuilt in 1688, though retained its earlier tower and some remnants from the previous castle. A fire gutted the castle in 1827, prompting a full rebuilding and restoration. The current building is a house, completed in 1970.

Timber from Aberdalgie was harvested by Regent Arran and employed in 1547 during the war of the Rough Wooing for the stocks of guns and cannon used at the battle of Pinkie.
