Biography assessment rating comment

Nearly a B.

Discussion
There really is a need for a G-2 article (U.S. Military intelligence, or Army intellignece). Perhaps an X-2 also, which is now a subhead of OSS. nobs 17:02, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

The article cites a book by David Irving, who is a holocaust denier and not a credible source, even for a disputed account. I pointed this out in the article, but should it have simply been excised? Torquebrada (talk) 21:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

The Validity of "Naked Forgery" by Pat Buchanan
In the article "Naked Forgery", Patrick J. Buchanan claims that a British Agent named Ivar Bryce who worked under William Stephenson was responsible for the "map", that may have lead the United States into war with the Axis Powers during World War II.

Does anyone know if this is true or not? I have no idea whether to take an article written by Pat Buchanon as a valid journalistic truth.

The article can be read at

I think Buchanon's view of history is "Don't let facts get in the way of a good story", but as with every thing else Sir William did, we will probably never know for sure. --Niloc (talk) 00:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Buchanan is not the best historical source, but his statements about the forged maps are correct. Having said that much, the forged maps did not get the United States into the Second World War. Pearl Harbour did. Likewise, it was Germany and Italy that declared war on the United States, not the other way around. So through Buchanan is right about the forged maps of October 1941, his thesis that these forgeries brought the U.S into the war is nonsense. --A.S. Brown (talk) 03:43, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

The Dates?
The dates that you posted from 1896 (his birth) to 1916, dont match the age that you posted in this example, "In 1916 he volunteered for the 101st Regiment of the Canadian Army Engineers. He earned a field promotion to Sergeant in the trenches before he turned 19". If you add the math he is 20 not 19 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.71.48.208 (talk) 23:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

Some sort of silly sex and porn phrase in the beginning when talking about WW1. Probably a missed edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.74.200.208 (talk) 00:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Under the heading "Recognition and honours" is the notation that However since Stevenson died in 1989 this was somewhat later than "late in his life" and should either be modified as "posthumous" or the date needs to be corrected. Dick Kimball (talk) 16:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * "The Quiet Canadian" was formally recognized by his home and native land late in his life; William Stephenson was made a Companion of the Order of Canada on December 17, 1997...

I wonder how many contributors recognized "home and native land" as coming from the first line of Oh Canada, the Canadian national anthem. Dick Kimball (talk) 16:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

 * All the info collected by the Intrepid Society (many of it posted in public buildings, such as the library named for him in Winnipeg) indicate his day of birth was January 11, 1896. --Joshmaul (talk) 04:52, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Factual Error - photo of Sir William Stephenson
The head shot that was posted as being Sir William is, in fact, of one of his friends and compatriots, Wild Bill Donovan, the founder of the OSS and CIA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.137.35.97 (talk) 19:25, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

If anybody knows what they are doing, the picture should be removed. I don't want to try:)--Niloc (talk) 01:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

A Man Called Intrepid
It seems to me that the information on this book needs to be beefed up. There are multiple sources that suggest that the book is largely a work of fiction, and vastly overstates Sir William's contribution. This is not to suggest that his contribution was not very signficant indeed -- merely that this particular account of his life is now considered to verge on fiction.--Wee Charlie (talk) 16:49, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Clashing information
There were no fractional aerial victories awarded in World War I. http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/stephenson2.php shows he amassed an itemized list of 12 victories before being shot down by German ace Justus Grassmann. It also shows a birthdate of 12 January 1896.

Georgejdorner (talk) 03:56, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I have never before removed cited info from an article, but the misstatement of aerial victories had to go. I was unable to double-check the reference given; it had no linkage, and it did not appear in internet search results. I did find the following regarding reliability of Chaz Bowyer's edition of RFC/RAF Communizues: http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/other-wwi-aviation/2535-rfc-communiques-chaz-bowyer-variant.html.

The moral of this story is, There were NO fractional awards of victories during World War I.

Georgejdorner (talk) 20:22, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Inventor
Not much in the article about his career as an inventor. "Shown with his radio photo-play apparatus" - St. Petersburgh Times, 10 Sep, 1924. Same image, device now described as "wireless photography transmitter" in Getty Images library. Hakluyt bean (talk) 01:08, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Nationality
I'm kind of wondering here... while he was certainly a Canadian national, he was most notable before the advent of Canadian nationality and the fact that he was a British subject was what enabled him to serve in his position during World War II. I'm not suggesting we list his nationality as British, but perhaps we should clarify his nationality prior to 1947? -- MichiganCharms (talk) 23:22, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

French gold
I'm currently reading A Man Called Intrepid and, due to my many other readings of secret service type activities in WW II, questioned some of the material. So I was not surprised to read here that the book is sometimes described as a fictional account. However, a citation was needed for the possibility of stealing the French gold in the West Indies. So I added a citation from Stevenson's book, which has several pages on it. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 11:46, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

A note regarding References
It could be mentioned that the first book listed in the 'References' section, The Quiet Canadian, by H(arford) Montgomery Hyde, was originally published in 1962. The edition mentioned here was published in 1989, the same year the author died. I think that the original publishing year should be added.

Furthermore, it is customary when listing a book which has a main title and a subtitle to separate the two with a colon [:]. Not doing so is both sloppy and can create confusion. Steinireyk (talk) 01:08, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Kathy Troccoli

Kathleen Troccoli (born June 24, 1958) is an American contemporary Christian music singer, songwriter, author, and speaker.

Early life and family
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Troccoli was raised in Islip Terrace, Long Island, New York, where she graduated from East Islip High School. Her father died of colon cancer when she was 15; her mother died of breast cancer in 1991, shortly before the release of her album Pure Attraction and its mainstream chart selection, "Everything Changes".

Troccoli was raised in a Catholic family, which was not particularly religious. As of 1998, she was a practicing Roman Catholic, but currently identifies as a non-denominational Christian. As of 2020, she continues to sing, speak and minister to the Church worldwide.

Musical career
After graduating from high school, Troccoli studied jazz and opera at the Berklee College of Music in Boston for a year, then returned to Long Island to major in voice at Suffolk County Community College (SCCC) also singing with a SCCC-based jazz band and later singing in Long Island clubs. In the summer of 1978, while working a "day job" to help cover her college expenses, Troccoli formed a friendship with a born again Christian co-worker; this led to Troccoli herself becoming a devout Christian. Troccoli's alto voice gained prominence when she opened for Ed Nalle's group, GLAD, when the group performed at the Long Island church Troccoli attended in 1980. Approximately six months afterwards, Nalle invited Troccoli to record a demo tape, with his band's backing, and Kathy accepted. After she and GLAD had recorded it, the tape was submitted to Michael Blanton and Dan Harrell (Amy Grant's brother-in-law); these two, as a result of hearing it, formed the Reunion Records label, in Nashville, specifically to record Troccoli, and Kathy herself, in turn, moved to Nashville to reside with Harrell and his family.

Troccoli's debut album, the 1982 release Stubborn Love, was reportedly the best-selling debut album by a contemporary Christian music female artist. A second album, Heart and Soul, was released in 1984; it led to her receiving her first Grammy nomination a year later, in 1986, in which year Images followed it (earning her another Grammy nomination). Troccoli then withdrew from her musical career returning to Long Island for a five-year sojourn, giving singing lessons and sang at weddings. In 1989, Troccoli was prominently featured on the selection "I'll Be Your Shelter", a Diane Warren-penned song which Taylor Dayne recorded for her album Can't Fight Fate. "I'll Be Your Shelter" became a Top Ten single in 1990.

After her mother's death, Troccoli returned to the Reunion Records label in 1991 for her secular album debut, Pure Attraction, whose lead single, "Everything Changes", Warren had written and composed for Taylor Dayne. Dayne had turned the selection down, however, and Joe Galante, then president of RCA Records, through which Reunion releases were distributed, offered it to Troccoli, who recalled: "He played it, and I knew I could own it. This was something I wanted to say." Peaking at No. 14 on the Hot 100 in Billboard, "Everything Changes", reached No. 1 on the CCM CHR. Chart and also charted on the magazine's Adult Contemporary chart reaching No. 6. "Help Myself To You" became Troccoli's first No. 1 hit in her ten-year career, and began a string of GMA Music Awards nominations, including numerous attempts at Female Vocalist.

Numerous hit songs came afterwards, including 1994's "My Life is in Your Hands", jointly written and composed with Bill Montvilo, which defined her career and inspired the devotional book of the same title, written in 1997, and 1995's "Go Light Your World", which began the rise of writer Chris Rice and was used for charity efforts that year.

In 1996, Troccoli was featured on the Beach Boys' now out-of-print album Stars and Stripes Vol. 1, singing lead vocals on a cover of their 1969 song "I Can Hear Music", itself a cover of a Phil Spector song. The Beach Boys sing on the track as well, providing harmonies and backing vocals.

Media appearances
Over the years, Kathy has appeared on The Tonight Show, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, The 700 Club, Entertainment Tonight, among others. She also appeared on Focus on the Family's video for teens, Sex, Lies, & The Truth. She has also been a regular co-host of the TV show "Red Letter Christians" with Tony Campolo. In 2010, she co-hosted a one-hour television program called The Mark and Kathy Show with Mark Lowry, on The Inspiration Network (later called INSP).

Seeing that wikipedia is a FREE - open source information center, I feel that it is inappropriate to quote a source unavailable to the lamen observer requiring special authority to access hidden information. i.e. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,922767-1,00.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.27.171 (talk) 13:12, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * While wikipedia is itself a free resource, that in no way implies its scope should be limited to resources that are also free, and maintaining a paid membership to Time magazine hardly qualifies as "special authority." Anyone can access it, they need only pay for a membership.  It is frustrating though, when a cited source isn't available for free, or is for other reasons not easily available.  However, that doesn't meant those sources shouldn't be used at all.  If you want more information, you can check out WP:PAYWALL.  Rytyho usa (talk) 11:24, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

LA Times article
While it may be true that "Franz stated the request for his resignation and his subsequent disfellowshipping resulted from allegations of apostasy", I don't believe the article cited supports this statement. In regards to his disfellowshipping, it has only this to say (last sentence): "Franz was disfellowshipped at the end of 1981 in a case involving his changed views of the organization's theology". The article doesn't indicate that Franz himself was stating anything, doesn't give a reason for his resignation, and doesn't use the term  "apostasy". Jhowar59 (talk) 12:10, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Apostasy, by its very definition, is the changing of one's views of an organization's theology. The man even wrote a book called "Crisis of Conscience" about his apostasy. I'm not sure what more you want. Rezin8

I Am Me

I Am Me is the second studio album by American recording artist Ashlee Simpson. It was released in the United States on October 18, 2005 (see 2005 in music) and debuted at number one in sales. The album produced two top 25 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, "Boyfriend" and "L.O.V.E." Simpson worked with John Shanks and Kara DioGuardi on this album, as she did on her first album, 2004's Autobiography. Shanks produced the album, and Simpson co-wrote all the songs with Shanks and DioGuardi. On December 15, I Am Me was certified Platinum by the RIAA for its shipments of over one million copies in the U.S. (as of April 2008, it had sold 987,000 copies ). A new single from Simpson, "Invisible", was reportedly going to be included on a re-release of I Am Me in mid-2006, but was canceled. The song was later included as an international bonus track on Simpson's next album, Bittersweet World.

Background and production
I Am Me was released about fifteen months after Autobiography, which was released in July 2004. According to Simpson, following her concert tour from February to April 2005, she was supposed to take a month off, but began working on the album early; as she said, "I got home and got bored, so I called John Shanks and was like, 'Can I come in the studio? Let's get a head start so the record company's not asking for the record right away or anything." She also said that she wanted to "get the pre-jitters or anything that was going wrong out of my system. And when I went in everything started going smooth. It was fun." According to Simpson, she felt less pressure when recording I Am Me than she did when recording Autobiography.

I Am Me is, like its predecessor, a mixture of rock and pop; it has been described as similar to Simpson's first album, and Simpson herself has said that she wanted it to be "familiar" to Autobiography. Some differences have also been noted. I Am Me has been said to be influenced by '80s music, and Simpson herself said "I just love '80s music" and "It's just so light and fun, and that was a lot of what I wanted to do on this record." Prior to recording I Am Me, Simpson had said she wanted to incorporate more of the feel of 17th century music into her next album, as some of her favorite music is from that time.

I Am Me has been called more musically "aggressive" than Autobiography and incorporates a range of musical styles; it has been called "dynamic" and "ambitious". Simpson's father and manager Joe said that his daughter had to be held back from "the places she wanted to go" as an artist, because, he said, if she changed too quickly her fans would be left behind. Simpson has mentioned how she tried "new sounds" when working on the album, citing in particular the song "Burnin Up", which was described by one reviewer as "a fairly credible stab at Clash-style dub". This song is not a cover of the early Madonna song ("Burning Up") that Simpson covered live during her February–April 2005 tour.

Lyrically, the album reflects Simpson's different life experiences since her last album; in particular, two songs deal with Simpson's emotions following her failed performance on Saturday Night Live in October 2004, in which she used a backing track due to illness, only to have the wrong track played, thus making the presence of the backing track obvious and embarrassing her on live television. This incident left Simpson the target of a great deal of criticism and humor at her expense. The first song on the album that deals with the incident is "Beautifully Broken", which strikes a positive tone of overcoming as Simpson finds beauty in failure—"the song is kind of about when you're in bed and you're crying and you don't want to get up the next day ... it's about finding that inner strength and finding that part in yourself that's like, 'Yes, I can put my head up and I can continue.'" "Catch Me When I Fall", the second song on the album dealing with the incident, is a piano-driven ballad which reflects weakness and sadness and deals with a feeling of loneliness. The theme of accepting imperfections is reflected in a hidden message that is included in the CD case. Simpson has said of the album: "The record is dark meets light in a sense. I feel everyone has a dark side.  This album is about finding the positive, finding the lighter side as well." Simpson mentioned in an AIM interview online that she chose the title I Am Me "because I've been through a lot of highs and lows this year, but no matter what happens to me I always stay true to who I am." Simpson has also mentioned how the lyrics on the album reflect her different feelings at different times, the ups and downs she experienced: "We all get sad sometimes, and we all want to dance and party, too."

Like Autobiography, many of the songs deal with relationships. "Coming Back For More" is, as Simpson calls it, a "fun, dancey song about an ex-boyfriend" and their relationship that won't come to an end. "I Am Me" is an energetic song in which Simpson responds with hurt and anger to her boyfriend being with another girl, and insists: "I am me, and I won't change for anyone". "In Another Life" is, in Simpson's words, "a cute romantic song about when you meet a guy and it's kind of like he knows everything about you before you really get to know him, and you feel comfortable with him right away. And he makes you feel beautiful." "Say Goodbye", the melancholy album closer, deals with the ending of a relationship. Other songs cover a variety of topics: "Boyfriend" is a response to rumors or accusations that she stole another girl's boyfriend (although rumors suggest it is about her alleged affair with Lindsay Lohan's ex-boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama, Simpson has said it is not about "one person in particular", but is instead about a situation many girls can relate to ); "L.O.V.E." is about girls going out and having fun without needing any guys; "Eyes Wide Open" is a "spooky song" about Simpson's feeling that there was a ghost living in her house.

In 2009, Miley Cyrus covered the international bonus track "Kicking and Screaming" for her The Time of Our Lives EP. Although Simpson co-wrote the song with Shanks and DioGuardi, Simpson was not credited for her writing contribution on Cyrus' EP.

Promotion
Initially, the first single was planned to be "L.O.V.E.", and the album was going to be titled In Another Life. Soon after these things were announced, however, the first single was changed to "Boyfriend" and the album title to I Am Me.

"Boyfriend" officially hit radio on September 6 and its airplay rapidly increased afterward; it debuted on the Hot 100 in September at number 71, rose greatly the next week to number 24, and eventually reached a Hot 100 peak of number 19, making it Simpson's second most successful song on the Hot 100 to date. The song's music video premiered on MTV's Making the Video on September 12.

"L.O.V.E." was the second single, as Simpson first said in an MSN Internet chat on October 26. Prior to its release as a single, "L.O.V.E." debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 78 in late October, and re-entered at number 76 in December; it subsequently reached its peak at number 22. The "L.O.V.E." video also spent 10 total days at number one on MTV's video countdown show Total Request Live. "Catch Me When I Fall" charted on the Billboard Pop 100 at number 93 on the strength of its downloads, although it was not released as a single.

Simpson made several notable television appearances, including a return to Saturday Night Live on the night of October 8–9 (during which she performed "Catch Me When I Fall" and "Boyfriend"), to promote I Am Me and its singles. On the album's release date, October 18, Simpson performed "Boyfriend" and "Coming Back For More" on Good Morning America, and she appeared for an interview on Live with Regis and Kelly, although she did not perform. Later in the day she appeared on Total Request Live, where she performed "Boyfriend". She also sang "Boyfriend" on the October 21 episode of The Tonight Show and was on the October 22 episode of Larry King Live (guest-hosted by Ryan Seacrest) for an interview, along with her father/manager Joe. On the October 24 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show she sang "Boyfriend" and was interviewed; on November 1 she was in Canada to promote the album and appeared on MuchMusic's MuchOnDemand for an interview.

Simpson began promoting "L.O.V.E." with a performance on the Late Show with David Letterman on November 21, followed by a performance of the song on the November 22 episode of The View. On December 6, she sang "L.O.V.E." as part of a performance with Pretty Ricky at the Billboard Music Awards. Simpson sang "L.O.V.E." on the first episode of CD USA, which aired on January 21, 2006, and was also interviewed on the show.

Simpson went to the UK to promote I Am Me and "Boyfriend" in late January 2006; on February 5 she performed "Boyfriend" on Top of the Pops Reloaded. Later in February, in the U.S., Simpson was awarded with a "Bounce Back Award" at the TRL Awards, which aired on February 25, and performed "L.O.V.E." on the occasion. Simpson hosted the MTV Australia Video Music Awards on April 12, 2006, and performed both "Boyfriend" and "L.O.V.E."

Simpson performed the songs "Boyfriend", "L.O.V.E." and "I Am Me" for Sessions@AOL on the Internet prior to the album's release. The album was available for listening on MTV.com's "The Leak" in the week prior to its release, beginning October 11. Wal-Mart released an exclusive package which includes the I Am Me CD and a DVD.

According to a rumor initially reported in March 2006, there would be a re-release of I Am Me with at least one new song. It was subsequently stated in an article in the June/July 2006 issue of Teen People that there would be a re-release of the album with the new song "Invisible"; Simpson also said this in interviews, but as of January 2007, no release date for the re-release had been announced and therefore the re-release plans were presumably dropped. Simpson filmed the music video for "Invisible" in May, and it premiered on June 19.

Touring
To promote the album and single, Simpson began touring on September 21 in Portland, Oregon, with another stage of the tour starting on November 9 in Portland, Maine with opening act October Fall. During 2006 she performed on several dates in the spring; in early May she performed at SunFest in West Palm Beach, Florida. Subsequently, she embarked on a major summer tour, the L.O.V.E. Tour (with "L.O.V.E." being expanded to stand for "Love Others Value Everyday"), which began on June 5 in Santa Barbara, California and at its outset was scheduled to run for 32 shows, concluding on July 29 in Clarkston, Michigan. Ashley Parker Angel was an opening act for Simpson; The Veronicas also opened on the first few shows of the tour, but had to cancel their participation in the tour due to a problem with the vocal cords of one of the singers, Lisa Origliasso. During the concerts of this tour, Simpson had a number of costume changes, including a "risque" outfit for "La La", and performed a cover of the Eurythmics song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)". She also performed a cover of "Why Don't You Do Right?".

Critical reception
Initial critical response to I Am Me was mixed to negative. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 43, based on 13 reviews.

A BBC review of the album was positive, calling it "confident yet searching" and saying that it "flirts with 80s production throughout and produces a more mature, tighter sound than some of her peers." Stylus also gave it a favorable review; while saying that it "isn't as consistently strong a record as Autobiography", it calls I Am Me "more-than-respectable" and "a very good record". Another review called it "a solid pop/rock album" with strong songwriting that "should go far to re-establish Ashlee Simpson as a legitimate artist", giving it three-and-a-half stars (out of five).

Rolling Stone gave it a negative review, rating it slightly lower than it had previously rated Autobiography: I Am Me received one-and-a-half stars, while Autobiography received two (out of five). The Rolling Stone review called the album "a collection of eleven soulless tunes that fail to even qualify as guilty pleasures" and said that "in venturing to offer something for everyone, Simpson offers nothing for anyone." Allmusic also gave the album a negative assessment (and a rating of two stars out of five), saying that "unlike Autobiography, this simply is no rock & roll fun — the songs aren't catchy, the attitude is dour, the productions are cold and distant, all highlighting the deficiencies in Ashlee Simpson as a singer, while burying the likeable persona she had on both her debut and her MTV show." Blender said that, in comparison to Autobiography, "the songs are soggier, the sentiments more banal", and calls I Am Me a "sophomore slump", giving it two out of five stars.

Another review called the album "solid but unspectacular", crediting Simpson with going "in directions that Avril Lavigne has never thought of" but wishing that Simpson displayed more "obnoxious grit" on the album.

Commercial performance
I Am Me debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, as did its predecessor, Autobiography; however, I Am Me did not achieve the same level of success as Autobiography. Whereas Simpson's first album sold 398,000 copies its first week of release in the U.S., I Am Me sold only about 220,000, according to Billboard; sales for the album declined 67% in its second week, when it sold about 73,000 copies and fell to number six on the Billboard 200. In its third week, the album sold about 54,000 copies, a sales drop of 25%, and it fell on the chart to number ten. Rolling Stone magazine grouped it among the numerous "heavily anticipated albums" of the season whose sales had "fizzled", such as Alicia Keys' Unplugged and Rod Stewart's Thanks for the Memory: The Great American Songbook 4, which had been released the same week as I Am Me. As of April 2008, I Am Me has sold 944,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

In Australia, I Am Me debuted at number 35 without a single being lifted from it before its release. "Boyfriend" was released the week after I Am Me was released. However, I Am Me failed to chart again after its debut and dropped out completely.

In the United Kingdom, in the absence of any promotion, I Am Me debuted at #160, selling just 1,392 copies in its first week. However, in late January 2006, Simpson went to the UK to promote "Boyfriend", several months later than in the U.S.; the single was released in the UK on 30 January 2006, and hit #12 in its first week; also, the album climbed to #50 in the UK in mid-February 2006.

Truncate (SQL)

In SQL, the   statement is a Data Manipulation Language (DML) operation that deletes all rows of a table without causing a triggered action. The result of this operation quickly removes all data from a table, typically bypassing a number of integrity enforcing mechanisms. It was officially introduced in the SQL:2008 standard, as the optional feature F200, "TRUNCATE TABLE statement".

TRUNCATE TABLE removes all rows from a table, but the table structure and its columns, constraints, indexes, and so on remain. To remove the table definition in addition to its data, use the DROP TABLE statement.

The  statement is logically (though not physically) equivalent to the   statement (without a   clause). The following characteristics distinguish  from  :

 * In the Oracle Database,  is implicitly preceded and followed by a commit operation.  (This may also be the case in MySQL, when using a transactional storage engine.)
 * Typically,  quickly deletes all records in a table by deallocating the data pages used by the table.  This reduces the resource overhead of logging the deletions, as well as the number of locks acquired. Records removed this way cannot be restored in a rollback operation. Two notable exceptions to this rule are the implementations found in PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server, both of which allow   statements to be committed or rolled back transactionally.
 * It is not possible to specify a  clause in a   statement.
 * cannot be used when a foreign key references the table to be truncated, since  statements do not fire triggers. This could result in inconsistent data because  /  triggers would not fire.
 * In some computer systems,  resets the count of an Identity column back to the identity's seed.
 * In Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and beyond in full recovery mode, every change to the database is logged, so  statements can be used for tables involved in log shipping.

Overhead (computing)

In computer science, overhead is any combination of excess or indirect computation time, memory, bandwidth, or other resources that are required to perform a specific task. It is a special case of engineering overhead. Overhead can be a deciding factor in software design, with regard to structure, error correction, and feature inclusion. Examples of computing overhead may be found in Object Oriented Programming (OOP), functional programming, data transfer, and data structures.

Choice of implementation
A programmer/software engineer may have a choice of several algorithms, encodings, data types or data structures, each of which have known characteristics. When choosing among them, their respective overhead should also be considered.

Tradeoffs
In software engineering, overhead can influence the decision whether or not to include features in new products, or indeed whether to fix bugs. A feature that has a high overhead may not be included – or needs a big financial incentive to do so. Often, even though software providers are well aware of bugs in their products, the payoff of fixing them is not worth the reward, because of the overhead.

For example, an implicit data structure or succinct data structure may provide low space overhead, but at the cost of slow performance (space/time tradeoff).

Run-time complexity of software
Algorithmic complexity is generally specified using Big O notation. This makes no comment on how long something takes to run or how much memory it uses, but how its increase depends on the size of the input. Overhead is deliberately not part of this calculation, since it varies from one machine to another, whereas the fundamental running time of an algorithm does not.

This should be contrasted with algorithmic efficiency, which takes into account all kinds of resources – a combination (though not a trivial one) of complexity and overhead.

Computer programming (run-time and computational overhead)
Invoking a function introduces a small run-time overhead. Sometimes the compiler can minimize this overhead by inlining some of these function calls.

CPU caches
In a CPU cache, the "cache size" (or capacity) refers to how much data a cache stores. For instance, a "4 KB cache" is a cache that holds 4 KB of data. The "4 KB" in this example excludes overhead bits such as frame, address, and tag information.

Communications (data transfer overhead)
Reliably sending a payload of data over a communications network requires sending more than just the payload itself. It also involves sending various control and signalling data (TCP) required to reach the destination. This creates a so-called protocol overhead as the additional data does not contribute to the intrinsic meaning of the message.

In telephony, number dialing and call set-up time are overheads. In two-way (but half-duplex) radios, the use of "over" and other signaling needed to avoid collisions is an overhead.

Protocol overhead can be expressed as a percentage of non-application bytes (protocol and frame synchronization) divided by the total number of bytes in the message.

Encodings and data structures (size overhead)
The encoding of information and data introduces overhead too. The date and time "2011-07-12 07:18:47" can be expressed as Unix time with the 32-bit signed integer, consuming only 4 bytes. Represented as ISO 8601 formatted UTF-8 encoded string  the date would consume 19 bytes, a size overhead of 375% over the binary integer representation. As XML this date can be written as follows with an overhead of 218 characters, while adding the semantic context that it is a CHANGEDATE with index 1. The 349 bytes, resulting from the UTF-8 encoded XML, correlates to a size overhead of 8625% over the original integer representation.

File systems
Besides the files themselves, computer file systems take a portion of the space to store directory names and listings, file names, files' sector locations, attributes such as the date and time of the last modification and creation, how the files are fragmented, written and free parts of the space, and a journal on some file systems.

Many small files create more overhead than a low number of large files.

Terrific Whatzit

The Terrific Whatzit (real name Merton McSnurtle, also known as McSnurtle the Turtle) is a fictional superhero turtle appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. DC's first talking animal superhero, the Terrific Whatzit first appeared in Funny Stuff #1 (Summer 1944) and was created by writer-artist Martin Naydel.

Natasha Lyonne voices the character in the animated film DC League of Super-Pets (2022).

Fictional character biography
McSnurtle is a turtle and shopkeeper who lives in the town of Zooville and is famed for both his honesty and his laziness. He is granted superpowers by two powerful, otherworldly entities (the nice Prince Highness and nasty Prince Lowness) who want to see how a completely honest person would handle being granted superpowers.

When in action as the Terrific Whatzit, McSnurtle removes his shell and dons a costume almost identical to that of the Golden Age Flash save that the lightning bolt emblem is replaced by a "TW" in a yellow circle. The name "Terrific Whatzit" stems from the fact that without his shell, it is hard to tell what kind of animal McSnurtle is.

McSnurtle's last Golden Age appearance as the Terrific Whatzit was in Funny Stuff #17 (January 1947), although he continued to appear from time to time as McSnurtle the shopkeeper in other features. His superheroic identity would not appear again until Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! #9 in November 1982, in which he is seen helping the Allies during "the Second Weird War". The series reveals in an earlier story that the Terrific Whatzit is the uncle of Zoo Crew team member Fastback.

Powers and abilities
As the Terrific Whatzit, McSnurtle possessed super-speed powers similar to those of the Golden Age Flash. These powers, while primarily based on superspeed, also include some superstrength (enough to bend a tank's main gun barrel ) and the ability to fly. McSnurtle also gains a ghost-like "automatic conscience" who won't relent until he goes into action against the threat of the story.

Other versions
An ordinary turtle wearing the classic Terrific Whatzit costume is seen in DC Super Friends #14 (June 2009), as the adopted pet of the Flash.

A redesigned version of the Terrific Whatzit appeared in the DC Super-Pets children's book Salamander Smackdown, as a superpowered pet of the present-day Flash. Unlike the previous versions, this version of the Terrific Whatzit wears a costume similar to the modern Flash's.

In other media

 * McSnurtle the Turtle appears in The Flash in two different forms. The first version appears in the episode "Revenge of the Rogues" as the childhood stuffed animal of Iris West. The second appears in the episode "Borrowing Problems from the Future" as a regular turtle that Harrison "HR" Wells gives to Barry Allen as a housewarming gift.
 * The Terrific Whatzit appears in the DC Super Hero Girls episode "All Pets Are Off".
 * Merton the Turtle / Terrific Whatzit appears in DC League of Super-Pets, voiced by Natasha Lyonne. This version is a non-anthropomorphic female turtle who acquires super-speed after being exposed to orange Kryptonite and goes on to become the Flash's pet and a founding member of the titular League of Super-Pets.

 * Delete. Googling for Harrogathshire, the region where this team are said to play, returns nothing. "Old Catton", the town where this team are said to play, does exist but is part of Norwich, in Norfolk, England .  A search for "Itsagoal League" turns up "an online football manager game"  . I find it improbable that any team playing in "Division 27" would be able to pay "2.2 million" for a player, even if it's 2.2 million Zimbabwean Dollars.  In any event, this article is non-notable and possibly simply vanity on the part of "Alex James", who is said to be this team's current manager. Sliggy 18:43, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Disagree - John Bowndre - Ive seen them play, no idea about the harrogathshire part nor the 2.2 million, they're a sunday league team 4D in Norfolk. They do have an Irish striker, 1/8 th apparently, met him in the local pub when our team played them at Old Catton Sports Ground. Don't delete, we need some humour in our lives (albeit in the form of a Sundayleague team)

Ronnie Piles; just a team by the looks of it. Seems a good idea to put teams up on Wilki, so locals wanting to play for an SL can find one. I found this looking for Sunday League divisions. If more teams did this the better. Disagree with deletion.

- Alex James - Thankyou for your concerns about this being a hoax, you've shown how speedy you can detect jokes and fakes. However this is no fraud. I do manage a 4D sunday league team called Dancing Farmers FC. We are an amateur club in the Old Catton part of Norwich. 4C next season for sure. Don't delete this page because it could be useful to people such as above, and also it is a lot better than some of the other articles on your website. Perhaps this will start a lot of average joes using your site rather than the usual: obsessed, "geeky", hobbyists and boffins that mostly do at the moment. - Disagree.

White-shoe firm

In the United States, white-shoe firm is a term used to describe prestigious professional services firms that have been traditionally associated with the upper-class elite who graduated from Ivy League colleges. The term is most often used to describe leading old-line law firms and Wall Street financial institutions, as well as accounting firms that are over a century old, typically in New York City and Boston.

Former Wall Street attorney John Oller, author of White Shoe, credits Paul Drennan Cravath with creating the distinct model adopted by virtually all white-shoe law firms, the Cravath System, just after the turn of the 20th century, about 50 years before the phrase white-shoe firm came into use.

Etymology
The phrase derives from "white bucks", laced suede or buckskin (or Nubuck) derby shoes, usually with a red sole, long popular among the student body of Ivy League colleges. A 1953 Esquire article, describing social strata at Yale University, explained that "White Shoe applies primarily to the socially ambitious and the socially smug types who affect a good deal of worldly sophistication, run, ride and drink in rather small cliques, and look in on the second halves of football games when the weather is good." The Oxford English Dictionary cites the phrase "white-shoe college boys" in the J.D. Salinger novel Franny and Zooey (1957) as the first use of the term: "Phooey, I say, on all white-shoe college boys who edit their campus literary magazines. Give me an honest con man any day." It also appears in a 1958 Fortune article by Spencer Klaw, which describes some firms as having "a predilection for young men who are listed in the Social Register. These firms are called 'white-shoe outfits', a term derived from the buckskin shoes that used to be part of the accepted uniform at certain eastern prep schools and colleges."

Usage
The term originated in Ivy League colleges and originally reflected a stereotype of old-line firms that were populated by White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs). The term historically had antisemitic connotations, as many of the New York firms known as white-shoe were considered inaccessible to Jewish lawyers until the 1960s. The phrase has since lost some of this connotation, but is still defined by Princeton University's WordNet as "denoting a company or law firm owned and run by members of the WASP elite who are generally conservative". Most white-shoe firms also excluded Roman Catholics. A 2010 column in The Economist described the term as synonymous with "big, old, east-coast and fairly traditional." In the 21st century, the term is sometimes used in a general sense to refer to firms that are perceived as prestigious or high-quality; it is also sometimes used in a derogatory manner to denote stodginess, elitism, or a lack of diversity.

Examples
The following U.S. firms are often referred to as being white-shoe firms:

Accountancy
The current Big Four accounting firms and the former Big Eight auditors from which they merged: The only former Big Eight firm not merged into one of the Big Four was Arthur Andersen, which went out of business in 2002 after the Enron scandal.
 * Deloitte (merged from Deloitte Haskins & Sells and Touche Ross)
 * Ernst & Young (merged from Ernst & Whinney and Arthur Young)
 * KPMG (formerly Peat Marwick Mitchell)
 * PricewaterhouseCoopers (merged from Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand)

Banking

 * Traditional:
 * Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.
 * Dillon, Read & Co. (acquired by UBS in 1998)
 * First Boston (acquired by Credit Suisse in 1990)
 * Kuhn, Loeb & Co. (merged with Lehman Brothers in 1977)
 * J.P. Morgan & Co. (merged with Chase Manhattan in 1996, and became JPMorgan Chase in 2000)
 * Morgan Stanley
 * White Weld & Co. (acquired by Merrill Lynch in 1978)

 * Modern:
 * Barclays
 * Citigroup
 * Goldman Sachs
 * JPMorgan Chase
 * Lazard Frères & Co.
 * UBS

Management consultancies
The Big Three (management consultancies), colloquially known as "MBB", consisting of the largest management consulting firms by revenue:

 * McKinsey & Company
 * Boston Consulting Group
 * Bain & Company

Law
While the term "white-shoe" historically applied only to those law firms populated by WASPs, usage of the term has since been expanded to other top-rated prestigious firms. Many of these firms were founded as a direct result of the exclusionary tendencies of the original white-shoe firms, which provided limited opportunities for Jewish and Catholic lawyers, as well as other non-WASPs, and include:
 * Traditional:
 * Arnold & Porter
 * Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft
 * Covington & Burling
 * Cravath, Swaine & Moore
 * Davis Polk & Wardwell
 * Debevoise & Plimpton
 * Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy
 * Ropes & Gray
 * Shearman & Sterling
 * Sidley Austin
 * Simpson Thacher & Bartlett
 * Sullivan & Cromwell
 * White & Case
 * Willkie Farr & Gallagher
 * WilmerHale
 * Modern
 * Modern

 * Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld
 * Cahill Gordon & Reindel
 * Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton
 * Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson
 * King & Spalding
 * Latham & Watkins
 * Paul Hastings
 * Squire Patton Boggs
 * Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison
 * Proskauer Rose
 * Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan
 * Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom
 * Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz
 * Weil, Gotshal & Manges

Equivalent law firms outside the United States

 * Australia: Big Six: In 2012, three of these firms merged with overseas firms, and one other began operating in association with an overseas firm. As a consequence, it has proposed that the term is no longer applicable to the Australian legal profession, displaced by the concept of Global Elite law firms or International Business law firms.
 * Brazil: Grandes Firmas: Pinheiro Neto Advogados: Mattos Filho Advogados : Machado Meyer Advogados: Tozzini Freire Advogados: Veirano Advogados
 * Canada: Seven Sisters
 * China (People's Republic): Red Circle, coined by The Lawyer magazine in 2014.
 * Japan: Big Four
 * South Africa: Big Five
 * Singapore: Big Four
 * United Kingdom (centered on the City of London):
 * Magic Circle, firms with the largest revenues, the most international work and which generally outperform the rest of the London market on profitability.
 * Silver Circle, the next tier below the Magic Circle (there is no Golden Circle ) has firms smaller than those in the Magic Circle, though sometimes with similar level of profits per equity partner (PEP) and average revenue per lawyer.

Raúl Quinto

Raúl Quinto (born 1978) is a poet born in Cartagena (Murcia, Spain). Matriculated in Art History in the University of Granada, he published his first book in 2002 with the name Grietas. In the same year, he was a finalist in the Federico García Lorca prize of said university in the area of theater, for his work Un autor en busca de personajes, written with Andrea Perciaccante and Daniel Rodriguez Moya.

In 2004 he won the Andalucian Youth Poet award with the poetry book "La piel del vigilante", based on the classic comic Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

His poetry can be included in current surrealism and Symbolism, continuously separating itself from the autobiographical. His works since 2010's Idiotica have employed a mixture of written forms. His 2015 work Yosotros was a five-part book that mixed essays, poetry, and narratives. 2017's Hijo was an exploration of fatherhood, and was positively described by critics as intimate and tender.

Works

 * Grietas (2002)
 * Un autor en busca de personajes (2002)
 * La piel del vigilante (2005)
 * Idiotica (2010)

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) 18:14, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed blackout in protest of RA 10175
Dear ,

Greetings!

As a Filipino Wikipedian, I hope you are aware of the passage of Republic Act No. 10175, also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which was signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 12, 2012. Currently, there is a discussion on the Tambayan, the noticeboard for Philippines-related topics, about a proposed blackout of the English Wikipedia in the Philippines in order to protest the passage of RA 10175, similar to the blackout against SOPA and PIPA held earlier this year. I feel that your input on the subject will definitely help in the discussion.

Please feel free to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines, and I hope your input will help the Filipino Wikipedia community determine which is the best course of action against this law. Similarly, we hope to get as much input from as many Wikipedians as possible.

Thank you and maraming salamat po!

Kind regards,
