Image Tagging Image:Aerotrim public image.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Aerotrim public image.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, 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 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 14:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Aerotrim public image.jpg
An image that you uploaded, Image:Aerotrim public image.jpg, has been listed at Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Do not try to pass off other people's work as your own, if you keep putting falce license info on your uploads you will be blocked. --Sherool (talk) 15:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Aerotrim image
Hi, sorry for the stern message, but it did look kinda bad from where I was standing. Anyway if you do hold the copyright for that (and other) images (if it was work for hire the customer often "buy" the copyright to the image, I don't suppose that was the case here?) then the copyright tags you used where in themselves ok. The problem was that you did not make it clear enough that you where the copyright holder. You should include a statement on the image page(s) saying that you are the copyright holder and if possible some details about when the image was taken and stuff like that, this statement is basicaly the "source", usualy we accept "I took this photo", but for professional photographs (especily ones that can be found around on the internett) the bar is a little bit higher as we want to make sure people are not ripping off other people's stuff. So basicaly just write enough info about the photo shoot to "prove" that the images are yours.

Oh and if you have other (or higher quality versions of the same) pictures that would defenently be great (preferably without the copyright notice or text superimposed on it), and would also go a long way in proving that you and not www.sz-erlebniswelt.de is the original source. Images can be resized "on the fly" by the mediawiki software so there is no need to resize the images to "web format" to be eable to use them, high resolution uploads of free content is encouraged.

The same goes for the other pictures, the problem was that rather than saying the pictures where taken by you you linked to websites that where using the images and that where labeled with the standard "Copyrighted all rights reserved" notice and then tagged them with the GFDL template without explaining why. This made it look like you had ripped the images from those pages and then put the GFDL notice on them, unfortunately this happens a lot (people tagging Star Wars screenshtos and all sorts of things as GFDL or even PD) so such images tend to get more or less shot on sight. Therefore it's important to properly explain that you rely did take those photos yourself.

Oh and one last thing, when uploading free licensed images consider uploading to Wikimedia commons instead, images uploaded on commons can be used on all Wikimedia projects directly (not just the english Wikipedia), inluding all the language Wikipedias, Wikibooks and so on directly (providing a "local" image does not share the same name at one of the projects).

Hope this answers your questions. --Sherool (talk) 16:13, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Copied from my talk page. --Sherool (talk) 17:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick reply and kind words! I would say lets delete the image entirly (can you do that?) and I'll upload a high-res later. I will be updating the entire Aerotrim article anyway. And I hope to become a better Wikipedian in the future. Thanks for everything! --The Singularity 16:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Sure I think we can skip the whole 7 day deletion process in this case since it's your image and all. I'll get rid of it right away. Happy continued editing. --Sherool (talk) 17:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Tom House

Thomas Ross House (born April 29, 1947) is an American former left-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball, as well as an author and a pitching coach.

Player
House pitched at Nogales High School (La Puente, California) and the University of Southern California, before the Atlanta Braves selected him with the 48th overall pick of the 1967 draft's secondary phase, as part of the draft's third round. He had passed up an earlier chance to turn pro two years before, when the Chicago Cubs used the 201st overall pick to take him in the 11th round of the June draft's main phase.

Advancing quickly through the Braves' system, House made his major league debut on June 23, 1971, pitching one inning in relief of Pat Jarvis in the seventh inning of a 6–3 loss to the Montreal Expos. Relying mainly on a curveball and a screwball, House was an important part of the Braves' bullpen in the mid-1970s. His best season was 1974, when he pitched 102⅔ innings, all in relief, with a 1.93 earned run average (ERA) and a 0.98 walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) ratio. His 38 games finished ranked seventh in the National League, and his 11 saves were good for fifth. House also ranked among the league leaders in those categories in 1975, when his 45 games finished ranked third, and his 11 saves placed tenth.

House was traded from the Braves to the Boston Red Sox for Roger Moret on December 12, 1975. At the time, the Red Sox had a surplus of starting pitchers and needed more bullpen depth. After he spent 1976 in Boston, the Red Sox sold his contract to the Seattle Mariners, an expansion team, early in the 1977 season. House concluded his major league career after two seasons with the Mariners in 1977 and 1978. He retired with 29 wins, 23 losses, 34 saves, and a 3.79 ERA in 536 major league innings.

Coach
After his retirement as a player, House became a pitching coach. In addition to Bachelor of Science in marketing and Master of Business Administration degrees from USC, House holds a Ph.D. in sports psychology from U.S. International University (now Alliant International University). Early in his career, he employed what were thought of as unusual methods at the time, but have since been adopted by the baseball community at large such as having pitchers under his tutelage throw a football.

House became the pitching coach for the Texas Rangers in 1985, during which time he was notable for his work with Nolan Ryan. During Ryan's induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame on July 25, 1999, he credited House as a positive influence on his career, saying:

"While I was [with the Rangers] I was very fortunate to have a pitching coach by the name of Tom House. And Tom and I are of the same age and Tom is a coach that is always on the cutting edge. And I really enjoyed our association together and he would always come up with new training techniques that we would try and see how they would work in to my routine. And because of our friendship and Tom pushing me, I think I got in the best shape of my life during the years that I was with the Rangers."

House has also worked as a coach for the Houston Astros, San Diego Padres, Chunichi Dragons, and Chiba Lotte Marines. He is an advisor with the American Sports Medicine Institute, and is the co-founder of the National Pitching Association. Through the NPA, he runs a series of camps and clinics for athletes, and markets a series of instructional videos for young baseball players. House has also written or co-written nineteen instructional books on baseball, as well as an autobiography.

In 1998, the American Baseball Coaches Association presented House with a lifetime achievement award.

House served as pitching coach for the USC Trojans from 2008-2011, when he retired from coaching.

In 2008, House worked as a consultant and pitching coach for the reality program The Million Dollar Arm. In this capacity, he trained two young Indian prospects, Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel over a period of seven months. At the end of that time he had raised the velocity of both prospects' fastballs to major league levels, and the two signed professional baseball contracts with the Pittsburgh Pirates' organization. The story of The Million Dollar Arm is dramatized in the Disney movie of the same name.

Recently, House has worked with several NFL quarterbacks, including, Dak Prescott, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Alex Smith, Carson Palmer, Cody Kessler, Matt Cassel, Jared Goff, Marcus Mariota, Andrew Luck, Jimmy Garoppolo, Carson Wentz, Terrelle Pryor, Tim Tebow, Andy Dalton, Blake Bortles, Matt Ryan, and Mac Jones.

Coaching legacy
House has been called the "father of modern pitching mechanics," and a "professor of throwing." House was one of the first to blend scientific based pitching study into methodologies for pitchers. He has led elite coaching to become scientific instead of guesswork. He has developed a model that is focused on quantifying the movement in each athlete's motion, then using drills and exercises to maximize accuracy and velocity and minimize strain on player's bodies.

House has been one of the first to adopt "Neurophysiology," by pairing his mechanics and motion analysis with functional fitness to address an athlete's functional strength inefficiencies, sleep and nutrition to recover faster, and data driven mental and emotional assessment to uncover how athletes deal with the stress and anxiety of competition.

Steroids
House has admitted to using anabolic steroids in the 1970s, making him one of the earliest players to admit to using performance-enhancing drugs. In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, he described his use of steroids as "a failed experiment", although he increased from around 190 pounds to around 220 while using them. He viewed the experience as a failure since the extra muscle did not enhance his substandard 82-MPH fastball, while the drugs contributed to knee problems, eventually necessitating a total of seven operations. He claims to have stopped using them after learning in college classes during the off-season about the potential long-term effects of steroid use.

House has stated that "six or seven" pitchers on every major league staff in the 1970s were "fiddling" with steroids or human growth hormone. He attributes players' willingness to experiment with performance-enhancing substances to the permissiveness of the drug culture of the 1960s, and he believed that steroid use declined in Major League Baseball since the 1970s, as players have become more aware of the potential long-term drawbacks.

Aaron's home run
House and Hank Aaron were both members of the Braves in 1974, the season when Aaron broke Babe Ruth's record for career home runs. Aaron hit the record-setting 715th home run in the fourth inning of a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, on April 8, 1974, against pitcher Al Downing. The ball landed in the Braves' bullpen in left-center field, where it was caught on the fly by House. Bill Buckner, then the Dodgers' left fielder, climbed to the top of the fence and begged House for the ball. The game stopped to celebrate the achievement, and after sprinting to the infield, House presented the ball to Aaron at home plate. His only payment was a TV given by a local store.

In popular culture
House was portrayed by Bill Paxton in the Disney film Million Dollar Arm.

I have devised a table that lists the school's name, the suburb or town where the school is located, the grades that it teaches and a link to the school's website. I feel that this is better than just listing the school's name. So far I have used it on the schools beginning with Y and Z.

As can be seen, most of the government schools are named "suburb (or town) name Public/High School", with the suburb or town name being where the school is located. So in most cases the table will read "Suburb Public School | Suburb", however not all schools names contain where they are located eg, Fort Street High School, this is where the location is valuable. The school years are important as not all government high schools are the traditional 7-12 high school. Finally, the website. As most of the schools listed here, especially the primary schools, will never become an article (at least not in the immediate future), a link to their website I feel is satisfactory.

In doing this I have removed the year the school was established. If there is a consensus that the year the school was founded should be included then I'm happy to concede. However, this information can be difficult to attain.

At the moment, this lists only the government schools. I'm compiling a list of all the non-government schools in my sandbox, using this table form. The table form is needed especially for the non-government school due to a range of different grades taught and only a very low percent contain their location within their name.

Please add any thoughts or comments -- Ianblair23 01:50, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks great to me. Now if only we had it for Victoria. Although I do like the inclusion of the founding year - I think it is useful, if it can be found. Ambi 06:53, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Anyone notice how there are a few non-government schools on this list eg. St Pius X Soundabuser 01:48, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Wow, this page is looking great! I can't wait til every letter has been tabulated. Megan102 00:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm going to try and complete the list but will take some time. Also just an idea to make the list smaller is to break it up into new pages say one for High Schools, the other for Public ect? Bidgee (talk) 16:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

This list
Has been mentioned at Australian_Wikipedians%27_notice_board/Archive_29 SatuSuro 00:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Tabulation Finished
I've tabulated the rest of the page. I found a way to do it systematically using a number of programs - I sure as hell didn't do it school by school in the browesr! :P That would've taken forever! Anyway, I haven't added any information to the table, so for now, it's full of question marks! I don't plan to either, actually. :P

I think this article is way too long, though. I reckon it should be split into primary schools and high schools, for easier reading.

 * Good idea. What about List of Government high schools in Sydney and List of Government public schools in regional New South Wales? Just an idea but it could be also be flawed. Bidgee (talk) 10:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I think it could be split into primary schools and high schools, and then within those two articles maybe have a further two sections of metro and regional - but this would be a painstakingly long task! Someone would have to go through EVERY single school and cut and paste it into its new section! Any volunteers...!? :P We should probably get a few of us to do it - it would speed things up! I'll do Q. :) 203.122.107.112 (talk) 11:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Split
Please This is presently the longest article on Wikipedia - it's over 300 kb and so it may not even display in some browsers. Since the standard goal for an article's size is about a tenth of that, this should probably be split into List of Government schools in New South Wales (A-M) and List of Government schools in New South Wales (N-Z) at least, and probably more like a half-dozen articles. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:07, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

John Slocum

Squ-sacht-un (1838 – 11 November 1897), also known as John Slocum, was a member of the Squaxin Island Tribe, Coast Salish, and a reputed holy man and prophet who founded the Indian Shaker Church in 1881.

Early life
Born in Mason County, Washington in 1838, Slocum was introduced to Christianity by missionaries working in Washington's Puget Sound region. As a young man he had lived on the Skokomish Indian Reservation, where he attended a Presbyterian church and also became familiar with the Roman Catholic faith after being baptized by a Catholic priest. He worked as a cutter and hauler for a lumber company, and eventually became a foreman, owning his own logging company with a 14-man crew. In order to facilitate the transport of timber, Slocum's crew constructed several corduroy roads on the reservation. Slocum, like many other loggers, drank and gambled with his friends in the evenings. Because alcoholic beverages were illegal on the reservation, Slocum drank Jamaica Ginger, an extract with a high alcohol content that was sold as a health tonic.

First vision
In 1881 he became ill and allegedly fell into a coma. His family believed that he was dead, however Slocum revived after a few hours and said that he had had a vision in which he was transported to the gates of heaven. There he met an angel who told him that because he had led an immoral life, he would not be permitted to enter. The angel gave Slocum the choice of going to Hell or returning to earth to instruct his people in a new religion. He was told how to bring Native American peoples to salvation. This experience was similar to that described by other 19th-century Native American prophets, including Neolin, Handsome Lake, Yonaguska, Tenskwatawa, Tavibo and his son Wovoka, and Smohalla, all of whom had prophetic visions. In 1886, Slocum began preaching a message he designated "Tschadam." Slocum said God had informed him that Native Americans would be saved if they gave up harmful behaviors such as drinking, smoking tobacco, and gambling. He also warned against shamanistic healers and their rituals. Slocum believed that he had been granted a limited time on earth, during which he felt compelled to construct a church and guide his people towards salvation.

Second vision and origins of the Indian Shaker Church
Slocum continued to operate his logging crew, and eventually he started drinking again. About a year later, Slocum once again became ill. While his wife, Mary Thompson Slocum, cared for him, she started shaking uncontrollably in his presence. When he recovered, he interpreted her shaking as a spiritual manifestation which saved him from death. Slocum incorporated shaking or twitching into the religion as a way to brush off sin, sickness, or bad feelings. This practice led non-natives to call the Church the "Indian Shaker Religion." Slocum and some of his followers were imprisoned regularly for their opposition to government-mandated acculturation programs for Pacific Coast peoples. Persecutions ended after the church was incorporated in Oregon (1907), Washington (1910), and California (1932), and in the late 20th century more than 20 congregations united, with some 3,000 adherents.

Death and legacy
Slocum died in Oakland, Washington in 1897 and was initially buried in Johns Prairie, an outlying district of Shelton, Washington. He was reburied in the Shelton Memorial Cemetery on 5 October 1975, and a monument was dedicated at his grave site. Slocum was succeeded as church leader by Louis "Mud Bay Louie" Yowaluch (d. 1906), his friend and former employee in the timber-cutting trade. Louis was in turn succeeded by his brother "Mud Bay Sam" Yowaluch (1846–1911), another friend of Slocum.

The Indian Shaker Religion is still practiced and combines many traditional native beliefs and customs with Christian beliefs about God, heaven and hell. The church specializes in the spiritual treatment of drug and alcohol dependence.

Pilchuck Glass School

Pilchuck Glass School is an international center for glass art education. The school was founded in 1971 by Dale Chihuly, Ruth Tamura, Anne Gould Hauberg (1917-2016), and John H. Hauberg (1916-2002). The campus is located on a former tree farm in Stanwood, Washington, in the United States. The administrative offices are located in Seattle. The name "Pilchuck" comes from the local Native American language and translates to "red water" in reference to the Pilchuck River. Pilchuck offers one-, two-, or three-week resident classes each summer in a broad spectrum of glass techniques. They also offer residencies for emerging and established artists working in all media.

History
Dale Chihuly, then the head of the glass program at Rhode Island School of Design, and Ruth Tamura, who ran the glass blowing program at California College of Arts and Crafts (CCAC, now California College of the Arts) applied early in 1971 for a grant from the Union of Independent Colleges of Art to operate a summer workshop in the medium of glass. In late spring the sum of $2,000 had been awarded. From the outset, this was planned as an unusual kind of workshop. Without yet having a site, but knowing he wanted to be somewhere in the Seattle area (Chihuly was born in Tacoma), Chihuly distributed posters advertising "the no deposit lots of returns glass, etc. workshop. Free tuition—you provide food and camping equipment." Sketches of lakes and forests and camping decorated the posters.

Through friends and contacts in the Seattle area, Chihuly and Tamura were introduced to John Hauberg and his wife Anne Gould Hauberg. Hauberg offered Chihuly the use of property he owned an hour north of Seattle. The workshop was held there and in time this became the location of the Pilchuck Glass School.

In 1971, the first workshop began with little time for advance preparation of the site. Chihuly and Tamura, along with two other teachers and 18 students, pitched surplus tents, made a makeshift lean-to with toilets and showers, and built a hot shop with glass furnaces (and a roof of sewn-together surplus tents). They began blowing glass just sixteen days after arriving at the Hauberg's tree farm. Some of the glass that was blown was sold at a craft fair in Anacortes nearby, and after the sale was well-received the group held an open house on the site. They sold more and the proceeds were used to pay for their propane. Even so, Chihuly spent far more than the $2,000 grant and ran up a considerable debt. John Hauberg, buoyed by the success of that first summer, paid off the bank loan and agreed to provide the location and financial support for a second summer workshop, and then a third. A few years later, realizing that Pilchuck glass workshops had become a summer mainstay rather than an occasional happening, the Haubergs established the school as a non-profit, solidifying the framework for today's Pilchuck Glass School.

In the first years facilities were primitive, but over time a campus was developed with a series of rustic structures, designed by Thomas Bosworth (who also served as the School's Director for several years). Thomas designed the Hot Shop for the kiln area (1973), Flat Shop for smaller scaled glass crafts (1976), Lodge (1977), faculty cottages, bathhouse, and other buildings; by 1986 there were fifteen structures on the site.

Campus
The Pilchuck Glass School is located on a 54 acre rural campus, part of a 15,000 acre tree farm, located northeast of Stanwood, Washington and more than 50 mi north of Seattle. The campus has more than 60 buildings, including workshops and living quarters.

Summer education program
Offering programs throughout the year, Pilchuck Glass School's most concentrated activities occur from late May through early September when there are consecutive educational sessions, varying from one to three weeks in length, and offering several concurrent hands-on courses exploring different aspects of creating art in glass. Designed for the uninitiated, the intermediate, or the advanced student seeking skills and conceptual challenges with glass, courses are limited in size (typically ten to twelve students) and highlight a focused inquiry into glassmaking techniques and aesthetic directions.

Students explore the creative possibilities of hot and cold glass in such areas as glassblowing, hot-glass sculpting, sand- and kiln-casting, fusing, neon, stained glass, imagery transfer on glass, flameworking, mixed-media sculpture, and engraving. Although enrolled in only one course in a session, students find additional creative resources among other students, instructors, artists in residence, gaffers and staff.

Artist residencies
In addition to summer workshops, Pilchuck also offers residencies for artists and gaffers to simply work on their art throughout the year using Pilchuck's facilities. Several residency programs are available by application, and some others are available by invitation only.

Some of Pilchuck's residency offers vary from year to year, and each one often targets a different group of artists. For example, the Emerging Artist In Residence Program is advertised for artists who are just beginning a professional career. Their recurring John H. Hauberg Fellowship has repeatedly looked for artists who are already well established in their professional careers. Their Better Together Annual Residency looks for professional BIPOC artists.

Wikipedia:Collaborations

To improve the quality of articles that are short or lacking in detail, Wikipedia's community takes part in collaboration to expand and improve articles. A collaboration on an article may be chosen by a group of users interested in the topic (WikiProjects) for a period of time (a week, fortnight, or month) or random editors coming together under Wikipedia's principle of collaborative editing. The Bold–refine process is the ideal collaborative editing cycle.

Collaboration takes place in all areas. Organised collaborations may take place on specific topics or subjects (e.g. cinema, cryptography, or science), and regional focuses (e.g. India or Africa). These organised collaborations are set up in conjunction with related WikiProjects or WikiPortals. Some have taken on other functional areas, such as translations of foreign-language articles, or book reporting. A few even focus on Wikipedia maintenance issues, rather than substantive additions. Collaborations can also range in the scope and aim of their work—most attempt to raise articles from stub level to comprehensive articles, while others attempt to polish larger articles until they reach featured status.

Collaborating on Wikipedia
One of the attractions of Wikipedia is that editing is collaborative. Anyone may edit an article, and anyone may edit another person's edits. Therefore, more than one person is able to contribute to an article, which has the advantages that the article may be developed more quickly than if it were just one person writing it, and the article has the experience of many contributors.

Creating a new collaboration

 * 1) Create the main collaboration page at Wikipedia:Collaborationname. (See Starting a new page)
 * 2) Create an outline on your collaboration page:
 * 3) *Most collaborations have the following content: introductory overview text; Template:COTWs; a notice of the current collaborations; links to subpages listing previous collaborations and failed nominations; selection process rules; directions for nominating articles; the list of nominees; a list of the templates used by the collaboration; and a list of relevant collaborations on other projects.
 * 4)  Identify topical areas within the scope of your collaboration:
 * 5) * A good way to do this is to copy the listings of Special:Whatlinkshere for the most important articles related to your project.
 * 6) If possible, link to a sample article to let other Wikipedians see what the collaboration hopes to achieve.
 * 7) Advertise!
 * 8) * Create a collaboration notice template, and insert it at the top of the article page in case of "current notices" and the talk page for nominated collaborations.
 * 9) * Post a notice at the Village Pump to alert potential new members.
 * 10) **You could also notify any appropriate WikiProject
 * 11) * Look at the history of contributors to articles that fall within your collaboration's topical area. Many of them might consider joining your collaboration if you leave a message on their talk page.
 * 12) * Find prospective members on IRC at Libera Chat in the general discussion channel.
 * 13) Collaborate!

Templates

 * See Category:Wikipedia Collaboration templates for collaboration templates

Most collaborations use templates to mark the current collaboration and candidates for future collaborations. The template marking the current collaboration should be placed at the top of the article in question. If a collaboration project is abandoned or neglected (such as left for twice as long as an article is scheduled to be current), the template should be removed from the current article and the collaboration marked as.

Candidacy templates should be on the talk page. As talk page templates these candidacy ones should use the Coffee Roll format established at Template standardisation, or be incorporated into a WikiProject template.

The Monthly Packet

The Monthly Packet was an English magazine published between 1851 and 1899, founded by members of the Oxford Movement to counter Anglo-Catholic extremism. It was strongly influenced by its first editor, the novelist Charlotte Mary Yonge, with aims of providing instruction, entertainment and improvement. Other, unstated aims were to encourage interest in education, missionary work, and charity.

Content changes
The Monthly Packet of Evening Readings for Younger Members of the English Church, as shown in "The Introductory Letter" in Volume 1, was targeted at middle and upper-class Anglican girls. Evidence suggests readership actually included males, adults and members of the lower classes. (By July, 1880, the word "Younger" had been dropped from the title.)

The magazine encouraged attitudes that included the prevailing view of religious and social standards. Over time, the approach was modified: Anglo-Catholic contributions were accepted, and it became more tolerant of Roman Catholicism and Nonconformism. It came to recognize that certain ills in society, such as poverty and ignorance, needed to be addressed. There was less emphasis on submission and obedience.

Literary history
The Monthly Packet was the first periodical to publish Lewis Carroll's short stories, which were later compiled into A Tangled Tale. Other literary contributors included Rosa Nouchette Carey with her novel Heriot's Choice in 1879.

Charlotte Yonge
Charlotte Mary Yonge as a churchwoman was influenced by John Keble, one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement. She combined editing The Monthly Packet with writing novels, biography, history, school textbooks, and pieces for her magazine. To some extent, the magazine can be seen as an expression of her personality and beliefs. She describes her audience in the first editorial as "daughters of our own beloved Catholic church in England" (meaning that the Church of England is by definition a part of the universal church). However, unusual work such as that by Lewis Carroll was also included. In 1891 the novelist Christabel Coleridge became the assistant editor. She was sole editor from 1894.

The magazine offers insights into Victorian life, especially regarding religious attitudes. Other subjects of interest are history, education, sociology and women's studies.

Cloveious,

This is an impressive piece of work. As requested, I have done a copyedit, but I want to emphasize what an amazing resource this is. Here are some of the changes I have made and why:

The historical boundaries map is a bit problematic foor me. I like the idea of charting the change in the rding over time, but without geographical markers, it really is just a change in the shape, and doesn't give much of an idea of what has been added or dropped from the riding. I expect that you did this in order to make the picture a reasonable size, but I am afraid that we are left with something that does not have a lot of meaning. Others may disagree with me on this.
 * Headings and sub-headings: the Manual of Style says that words in headings and sub-headings should not be capitalized except for, of course, the first word and proper names (people, pleaces, etc.)
 * I have also applied this to headings and data labels in tables.
 * I have made some of the language more formal, e.g., replaced "stint" by "term".
 * I have wikilinked the first instance of party names.
 * I have spelled out the first instance of initialisms -- not all readers will known what an MLA is, so you can help them out by spelling it out thusly: "Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA)" the first time.
 * I removed "votes" from "Total votes" in the tables because it did not seem necessary.
 * Where specific elections are referenced in the text, I have linked to them for the convenience of the reader.

Again: great job, and keep up the good work!Ground Zero

 * Thanks, for the copy edit! I will play around with the maps some more and see if I can map things a little more detailed. Unfortunetly the only map references I have avalible are not very detailed, The maps were traced from the original boundary maps in the Alberta Legislature archives. --Cloveious 21:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:First Rays of the New Rising Sun

"Although no one can ever fully ascertain what the finished product would have sounded like had Jimi lived (with a presumed late 1970/early 1971 release date), this reconstruction of First Rays of the New Rising Sun is probably as close as possible to what Jimi would have intended."

Huh!? This is a contradiction. No one can be certain if this is what the album would have sounded like if Jimi had lived, yet this reconstruction is probably what he would have intended. In addition to being contradictory, it also appears to be a biased judgement on the part of the author. Perhaps presenting some further facts to support this judgement would be in order.

jimi was writing music for side d but it was not recorded. One of the songs is the story of life. Which is the last song he wrote.

The chronology
I suggest that this Album be placed after :Blues in the chronology rather than before it, as it is known that the Release date is considered for the Chronology not the recording Date. If i hear no reply on the issue or if no one objects, i will fix that problem within two weeks. --Six 7 8 19:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

 * That still needs to be fixed. Bubba73 (talk), 01:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:First Rays of the New Rising Sun cover art.jpg
Image:First Rays of the New Rising Sun cover art.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

needs a great deal of work to meet Wikipedia Standards
although I applaud the author's intent and many of the story lines and citations seem factual, this article suffers from several challenges: a. it is highly speculative and laced with presumption ("This reconstruction of First Rays of the New Rising Sun, however, is not the best representation of what Jimi would have intended.") b. it lacks any independent corroboration with no references for its claims (i.e."according to some sources") c. overall is in need of serious footnoting (i.e. where is Hendrix's handwritten track list? "(according to Kramer)"?? I hope to come back and see that the author has re-worked it to meet the Wikipedia Standards (esp adding footnotes/references) as I, for one, would love to follow through and learn more. Bebopnjazz If common sense were truly common, every one would have it. (talk) 19:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, and have started to edit this BOLDly, mostly for a more neutral, encyclopedic tone. Comments and help appreciated.  Msalt (talk) 19:35, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I think that's a pretty stable (and fairly well improved) version. Any thoughts, Bebopnjazz? Msalt (talk) 01:31, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Msalt, don't get me wrong - I think this is a great read and very informative for the Hendrix fan who wants to know every detail. the only issue I see is that there are almost no references for an awful lot of direct assertions about things that seemingly ought to be easy enough to track down. I mean where did you get all this information in the first place? it is obviously more than hearsay so you must have some references. remember that a good reference does not have to link to something on the internet. as long as it refers to some published material that is traceable, it should pass muster with the WikiPowers that be. Good luck & happy hunting - I really enjoyed it and will look fwd to seeing where all this knowledge grows from. best, BeBopnJazz (talk) 00:56, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree -- basically I just reworded what I found here. My focus was on fixing the writing and organization, which needed some help.  I didn't really look at the sources that closely -- and don't really have time to -- though I'm reasonably familiar with Hendrix's history and music, and it seems roughly accurate.  Hopefully someone with time and sources can pursue the references. You'll notice that I added a section called "Possible Sources" with some that I found while editing here.Msalt (talk) 21:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Possible Sources
Obviously this article needs better sourcing. Here are some references I've seen listed but don't have access to right now: - "Black Gold the Lost Archives of Jimi Hendrix" by Steven Roby (book) - the french magazine Folk & Rock (November 1994) (re: Hendrix's handwritten track list) - http://www.progressiveworld.net/hendrix3.html Msalt (talk) 20:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:2014 Winter Paralympics

wp:WikiProject Winter sports
Does anyone want to revive ? -- 70.50.148.248 (talk) 16:50, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Sighted guides
Sighted guides are, as I understand it, not athletes, but there to help the athletes with a visual impairment. They do still receive a medal though for their work. Should they be counted as 'competitors' (in the infobox) on the national pages and should they be counted as 'athletes' (in the main body of text)? This also refers to the numbers of athletes competing for each country on this page. I noticed that United States page talks of 80 competitors, whereas this page mentions 74, whilst on the Great Britain page, it is 12 athletes PLUS 3 guides. 97rob (talk) 23:35, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

 * 2012 London Paralympics was the first to award medals to sighted guides . Have no info but maybe Sochi is the same?--Egghead06 (talk) 23:42, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I believe they are both awarded medals, but the problem, in my opinion, is whether they are both classed as athletes, or competitors? Considering the Paralympics is for disabled athletes, a sighted guide doesn't seem to fit the criteria. But, considering they win medals, they almost fit the criteria? Either way, there needs to be consistency through the various 2014 Paralympic articles. I've put some messages on some of the talk pages of countries with more athletes, which are more likely to be looked at, to notify them of this discussion. I'll try and do some more when I get a chance. 97rob (talk) 23:49, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * As with 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver, Canada the guides are not counted but they do receive medals --MSalmon (talk) 11:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

 * In that case, some articles may need changing. Obviously any country with only one athlete won't, but the rest will, or could. I'll do my best to change them. 97rob (talk) 17:20, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Guides are awarded medals!!! They stand on the podium with their skier and are presented with them. And they are classified as athletes and competitors. They are accredited as athletes, live in the Paralympic village, have "athlete" written on their security passes. They are subject to random drug testing! Guides were awarded medals at the Winter Paralympics in Vancouver in 2010. Here's a picture of Jessica Gallagher and guide Eric Bickerton displaying their medals in Vancouver in 2010. The same holds true for the guide cyclists at the Summer games since 2012. Stephanie Morton has a gold medal from the London Paralympics and stands an excellent chance of adding an Olympic medal to her collection in Rio. Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:42, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Gay Rights
Why was this a big thing in the Olympics and not the Paralympics?-MacRùsgail (talk) 18:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Any gay rights concerns have pretty much been overshadowed by the Crimean crisis, which is even worse in my opinion. Also, your addition of that stuff to this article is undue; the protests/turmoil were specifically targeting the Olympics, not the Paralympics. Also, I've, since London, tried to have the Paralympic articles be distinctly about concerns related to the Paralympics only, and reducing the amount of redundant information.

Wikipedia:Peer review/Little Bow (electoral district)/archive1

Little Bow (electoral district)
This is the first of 83 articles on current Alberta provincial electoral districts to reach completion, Please see my user page for the other written articles. I would like peer review to see if there is anything else that can or should be added to this district article. This district has a detailed ninety year electoral history, and every result has been researched. --Cloveious 01:57, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

The article looks great, and I can see the article has been well researched, but I'd like to know where you reaserached it, please cite your sources. The only other thing I can suggest is working some of the lists into prose, or making graphics for things like the age distribution; the local issues could be expanded a bit too.--nixie 03:36, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I updated the references, they should all be in the article now. (most were at the bottom) If some artisan wants to make a better graphical way of displaying the demographics data, they would have my gratitude! As for the Local issues, I try to scour the web to find topics of local interest, needless to say its not easy. I have had a debate with myself whether they should remained bullet point or not, and what counts as a local issue. It's hard when you don't live anywhere close to the riding to write about local cross currents, that affect the voting population. --Cloveious 04:03, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I, too, have been working on electoral districts. Here is a BC provincial example and a Canadian federal example. One of the goals I tried is to achieve is to make them a simple and easy to read as possible. I kept the sections short, used tables and strategic bolding. I like to think it is comprehensive and intuitive. For Little Bow I would like to make these suggestions:
 * Sum up the Boundaries section into a couple of sentences. The legal descriptions are way too long, and not that informative. I work with that Township/Range system everyday at work and it is useless to just read it (it needs a map for comprehension). That system is only used in Alberta and some places in BC (maybe Sask, too) so people outside these places will definately have no idea what it is talking about. I suggest using place names (ie. communities, towns, streets for urban areas) that lay inside the borders and provide a link to the legal description (Electoral Divisions Act 2003).
 * Demographics should go into a table and/or graph.
 * Local Issues should be summarized elsewhere. They probably change from election-to-election but can be described in, say, the Geography (or History) section where it explains it is a rural district dependent on ranching.
 * For the election boxes:
 * I would get rid of the red links. They are annoying and distracting.
 * I believe voter turnout is important. This can be written down right beside the year of the election (eg. 2002 Result - 60% turnout).
 * Total votes could be useful, too, but if you do use these also use the turnout because pop canges skews total votes.
 * I like to show financial expenditures. It is a first-past-the-post system and money talks. The real parties can be distinguished and true popularity/unpopularity can be found (see 1991 results). I have found it costs $50 000 to be able (not guaranteed) to win provincially in BC and $30 000 federally.  -maclean25 03:23, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input, I have tuned up the page, combined local issues into the header text. The financial expenditures are another issue, and not all that feasable currently. Elections Alberta does not currently keep candidate financial statements online, and the Central Library in Calgary does not carry all the Elections reports. The boundaries in Alberta generally don't follow noteable things, except for the urban ridings, which make it hard I discovered that when I was doing the Peace River. I am just working on a graph to better display demographics. --Cloveious 07:00, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I have started working on the turnout and total votes, --Cloveious 16:55, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I have provided a Boundary summary, but I am also keeping the Legal boundaries, as well as provided images of all historical boundaries
 * Perhaps I was not clear with my criticism. The 'Boundary summary' you recently provided is excellent in that it helps orient me while describing the district at the same time. My complaint with the Sec-Twp-Rge system is that it is unreadable without a key or a map. I doubt anyone will ever sit there and read that entire section, and if someone did they would not be better informed because of it (just confused). I recognize the desire to be as formal as possible but I think it distracts from the article. Describing lines on maps verbally, especially in prose, is never pretty. Hence the use and popularity of maps. I am of the opinion that all geographic info on the page should be consolidated into a Geography (or what-have-you) section that details, most importantly, place names (ie. communities), then borders (in general terms), and major landmarks or other distinguishing features (eg. mountain range, river, prairie, etc.). My original point was that naming communities and place names that the electoral district covers is more useful in describing where the district is than listing boundary coordinates. Also, I think the "Demographics for Little Bow" external link is broken.  --maclean25 04:18, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I removed the comment on it being the sixth oldest in Alberta. That sentence came right after a sentence that claimed it was created in 1913 out of five other districts. Speculating that these were not the only five in Alberta, it just didn't add up. Btw, I don't think the 'Riding Association' section adds much to the article. --maclean25 05:08, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:2005 Birmingham tornado

Significance
Is this event significant enough to warrant an entry in Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianlucas (talk • contribs)

As it's the strongest tornado ever recorded in the UK then I'd say yes.--Ukdan999 23:33, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Except that further down the page its says that a stronger tornado occurred in 1810 in Plymouth! treesmill 19:33, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * The notability is pretty clear - it was an unusually strong tornado striking the largest provincial city in Britain. In case the American contingent still don't get the significance, just imagine if it were your country's largest provincial city, New York - we'd get pages of speculation, edit wars, and conspiracy theories.

Coventry
I question the Coventry tornado report and have asked for a citation. I believe this may refer to an event that occurred not on the day of the Birmingham tornado, but on 24 June 2005. Certainly the locations fit the report that appeared in the local media. TORRO (the UK's leading tornado and storm reporting organisation) found no evidence of a tornado on the ground and concluded that video evidence showed a rainshaft, not a tornado or funnel cloud. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sp saunders (talk • contribs) 03:22, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

The Country Gentlemen

The Country Gentlemen was a progressive bluegrass band that originated during the 1950s in the area of Washington, D.C., United States, and recorded and toured with various members until the death in 2004 of Charlie Waller, one of the group's founders who in its later years served as the group's leader.

The classic line-up from 1960 to 1964 consisted of co-founders Charlie Waller on guitar and John Duffey on mandolin, with Eddie Adcock on banjo and Tom Gray on bass. They were inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor in 1996.

Early history
The band started on July 4, 1957 as a replacement group for Buzz Busby and the Bayou Boys when several members of that band were injured in a car accident. The band's original members were Charlie Waller on guitar and lead vocals, John Duffey on mandolin and tenor vocals, Bill Emerson on banjo and baritone vocals, and Larry Lahey on bass. After a few early changes, the band settled into a somewhat permanent lineup consisting of Waller, Duffey, Eddie Adcock on banjo, and Tom Gray on bass.

First classic lineup breakup
They toured both the bluegrass and folk circuits during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1964, Tom Gray left the group to pursue his career as National Geographic cartographer. Until end of sixties, Ed Ferris, Ed McGlothlin and Bill Yates were the bass players for the group. In 1969, just as the band was scheduled to tour Japan, John Duffey quit, citing his fear of flying. Jimmy Gaudreau was brought in on mandolin. Doyle Lawson went to Japan and played the mandolin and sang on the live recorded album for the group's first trip to Japan. Eddie Adcock left the band in 1970 and moved to California to create a band Clinton Special.

Second generation
Charlie Waller assembled the "second classic lineup" of the Country Gentlemen soon after, with Bill Emerson returning on banjo, Lawson on mandolin, Bill Yates on bass and Ricky Skaggs on fiddle. The band also switched labels from Rebel to Vanguard. Emerson left again to join the Navy after one album, and was replaced by James Bailey. Jerry Douglas joined the band on Dobro during the summer of 1973 and stayed with the band after graduating from high school in May 1974. He continued with the band until June 1975. He rejoined the band in May 1978 and was with the band until December 1978. Lawson left in 1979 to form his own band.

Death of Charlie Waller
In the band's later years Charlie Waller served as the group's "focal point and leader" until his death in August 2004. His son Randy Waller, whose voice is very similar to his father's, continues to play as "Randy Waller & The Country Gentlemen".

Material
The Country Gentlemen play music ranging from traditional bluegrass to pop, sometimes adapting music from other genres to their bluegrass style. They also borrowed from singer-songwriters, with songs such as Gordon Lightfoot's "Redwood Hill" and Steve Goodman's "City of New Orleans."

Several of the band's songs ("Two Little Boys," "Bringing Mary Home," "New Freedom Bell," "Matterhorn," "Fox on the Run," "Legend of the Rebel Soldier," and many others) have become bluegrass standards.

Offshoots
Some of the immediate offshoots of the band were Emerson & Waldron, the Seldom Scene, II Generation, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.

In 2008, Adcock and Gray, two members of the "Classic" Country Gentlemen Hall of Honor lineup, together with former member Gaudreau and Waller's son Randy, combined in 2008 to record as the Country Gentlemen Reunion Band.
