Rudi (band)

Rudi were a punk rock/power pop band from Belfast formed in 1975. Throughout the late 1970s they were one of the most popular Northern Ireland punk bands but while The Undertones and Stiff Little Fingers secured record deals with major labels and had chart success, Rudi didn’t hit the big time and became 'the band that time forgot'. Rudi split in 1982. Their recordings can still be found today.

History
Rudi formed in 1975 as a covers band, playing rock 'n' roll and glam rock hits. The original members were Drew Brown (drums), Leigh Carson, Graham "Grimmy" Marshall (bass guitar), Ronnie Matthews (guitar, lead vocals) and Brian Young (guitar, vocals). The band's name was taken from a single called "Oo Oo Rudi" by the Jook.

Carson left, and after bassist Johnny Stewart joined, Marshall moved to drums and the group adopted a pop punk sound.

Rudi were the very first punk band in Belfast. "We were the first punk band in Belfast ... Then punk broke and people identified with us. You thought you were the only people who were into this stuff. You didn't realise that two streets away, two other people were reading Sounds and NME." (Brian Young, Rudi)

In the early days of punk, the band wore a stage uniform of boiler suits covered in painted punk slogans and Rudi song titles. The boilersuits had been stolen by drummer Marshall from his place of work. Original Stiff Little Fingers bassist Gordon Blair joined in 1977, replacing Stewart.

Rudi’s early live set included the crowd favourite “Cops” which started and finished with the chant of    “SS RUC” and a chorus of “we hate the cops”. It was written about the “Battle of Bedford Street” - a confrontation between punks and the RUC in Belfast city centre when The Clash gig at the Ulster Hall in October 1977 was cancelled after the insurance was withdrawn. As Belfast riots go, it was small scale but it was unique in that it was a non-sectarian “riot” by Protestant and Catholic punks. “Cops” was Rudi’s most overtly political song and one of the group’s more "punky" songs.

On seeing Rudi perform at The Pound club in Belfast in January 1978, Terri Hooley the owner of Good Vibrations record shop decided to launch a record label. "Rudi took to the stage and they blew my mind. From the moment the first chords were played I was completely in love with them - hook, line and sinker."(Terri Hooley, Good Vibrations)

Rudi pioneered a distinctive Northern Ireland punk sound which Brian Young of Rudi described as “poppy punk with lots of guitar riffs and sing along choruses”.

The band's debut release was the "Big Time" single, the first record on Terri Hooley's Good Vibrations label, released in May 1978. It received positive reviews in the music press, and was later described by Henry McDonald of The Observer as "one of the most perfect pop songs to come out of this island".

Rudi, in their early days, played occasional gigs at different venues across Belfast, such as the Pound Club and Glenmachen Stables, but they regularly played The Harp Bar after it opened its doors to punk bands in April 1978. “Rudi was one of the first bands to get in on the act, making our Harp debut in May 1978 … we played The Harp at least once or twice a month, until it closed its doors to punk midway through 1981.”(Brian Young, Rudi)

The release of "Big Time" in May 1978 was a breakthrough moment for Rudi and punk in Belfast. It had been preceded, in February, by the very limited (500 copies) release of "Suspect Device" by Stiff Little Fingers. The success of "Big Time" was quickly followed by Good Vibrations releases by Victim, The Outcasts and then, in September, the label released "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones.

The success of the "Big Time" single prompted Rudi to relocate to London in August 1978. Rudi were based in London just at the time when the music industry and media were finally showing some interest in the punk scene in Belfast. Rudi did get a profile through gigs and contacts in London but they failed to secure a record deal, and suffered a further setback when guitarist Matthews and drummer Marshall were jailed for a week after their Clapham squat was raided, and they returned to Belfast in December.

Rudi playing "Big Time" in January 1979, at the Glenmachen Stables, was captured on film on Shellshock Rock, an independent documentary film on the Northern Irish punk scene that was released in June of the same year.

In 1979, Rudi also contributed "Overcome by Fumes" to the Battle of the Bands EP, and were offered a record deal by Polydor, on the condition that they replaced Marshall, but the offer was declined.

The "I Spy" EP was released on Good Vibrations in July 1979. The four tracks on the EP were “I Spy”, “Genuine Reply”, “Sometimes” and “Ripped In Two”.

The band embarked on a tour of England. Blair was sacked, later joining the Outcasts, with Matthews moving to bass.

Rudi recorded a session for Northern Ireland’s Downtown Radio, which was broadcast in October 1979. The tracks recorded were “Time To Be Proud”, “Radio On”, “Claws and Clutches”, “The Pressure’s On”, “Who? You!” and “Excitement”.

A television appearance on BBC2's Something Else in 1980 showcased the band's proposed next single on Good Vibrations, "The Pressure's On" and "Who? You!". Rudi's performance recorded in December 1979 captures the group performing two of their best tracks live in front of a studio audience of young Belfast punks. The two tracks were among Rudi’s best songs but the release of the single never happened and the band left the Good Vibrations label in frustration.

The band recorded a session for Mike Read's BBC Radio 1 show The Evening Session at the end of April 1980. The tracks broadcast were “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy”, “The Pressure’s On”, “Time To Be Proud” and “Without You”. "Mike helped us a lot and we recorded a killer radio session for his show, which was easily the best thing we had done to date." (Brian Young, Rudi).

A deal with Target Records was proposed, but failed with the label's demise. They were offered a deal with Ariola Records by Pete Waterman, but instead decided to sign with the Paul Weller-funded Jamming! label.

“When I Was Dead” was released as a single by Jamming! Records in August 1981, with "Bewerewolf!” and “The Pressure’s On” on the B-side. "When I Was Dead EP is by far my fave Rudi record as it's perhaps the only one that actually sounds like a proper record - and turned out like we wanted it to!" (Brian Young, Rudi)

In September, a session was recorded for the John Peel show. The tracks broadcast were “Crimson", "Tigerland", "When I Was Dead" and "Excitement".

In November, "Crimson", "14 Steps", "Radio On" and "The Prince of Pleasure" were recorded in a session for broadcast on the Dave Fanning Show on RTE Radio 2.

At the end of 1981, the band recorded "Toytown", "Frozen By Your Touch" and "Life" for a session broadcast on BBC Radio 1's David Jensen show in December.

Crimson (with 14 Steps as the B side) was released a single in February 1982 and was named "Single of the Week" by Sounds.

Rudi supported the Jam on their 1982 Transglobal Unity Express tour. When the Jam split up, the Jamming! label folded soon afterwards. Rudi found themselves without a label, and also split up.

Post break up
Matthews, Marshall and Young re-emerged with a new band, Station Superheaven. Young later formed a series of bands including the Tigersharks, the Roughnecks and the Sabrejets; in the 2000s, he played in Shame Academy along with Greg Cowan of the Outcasts and Petesy Burns of Stalag 17.

A compilation CD of Rudi's recordings was released in 1996 on the Cherry Red label Anagram.

Rudi influenced several later bands, including the Saw Doctors and Therapy?, both of whom recorded cover versions of "Big Time".

Rudi were one of the main bands at the heart of the punk movement in Belfast in the late 1970s and their early history and songs feature heavily in the film Good Vibrations, starring Richard Dormer and Jodie Whittaker, which tells the story of Terri Hooley, Good Vibrations record shop/label and punk in Belfast.

Talk:Culture of poverty

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 15 January 2019 and 15 May 2019. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Epichola.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 18:50, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Untitled
Regrettably, this is an example of the very worst of postmodern tripe that seeks to cast 'the poor' (of whom the author gives no defining characteristic) as a collective victim class that may be excused its behaviour because of attribution to a self-serving 'culture'. This piece really should be Vfd but let's see... Eddie.willers 23:16, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * No, the article simply needs to be more clear about attributing these views to Lewis. He held these views and they were influential in shaping poverty research and policy for years afterward. The article isn't saying whether or not Lewis was correct, it's just summarizing what he said. FreplySpang (talk) 23:19, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

i'd have to agree with Spang. Cultures of Poverty are very common in this world, from capitalism. I'm a part of one.

Raccoon Fox 20:56, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

changes and recommendations
--Birdmessenger 14:12, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The culture of poverty argument is not social Darwinism in and of itself, though certain modern day "social Darwinists" certainly seem to like it (I'm not entirely sure that that term can be used in this article in a NPOV way at any rate)
 * Oscar Lews did not intend to "blame the victim" for poverty; in fact he ended up with something that fell somewhere in the middle of entirely structural explanations and hyperindividualistic explanations. It was others who came later who would use the culture of poverty argument to defend dismantling the "welfare state" and social nets.
 * this article could be expanded considerably, with a better discussion of the War on Poverty, the ethnographic work that directly refuted Lewis' arguments (e.g, Carol Stack's All Our Kin), William Julius Wilson, Charles Valentine, Charles Murray, Massey and Denton, welfare reform, etc.
 * I removed a metric ton of unnecessary links

--Hlyson 13:41, 13 September 2011
 * This article could be reorganized to include relevant headings of separate sections that address different aspects of the culture of poverty argument. Potential headings could be: Definition, History, Academic Use, Political Influence, Criticism.  Adding information to each of these separate sections would greatly enhance this article by creating a more comprehensive understanding of the culture of poverty argument
 * This article could also be linked to a variety of other related articles including: the urban underclass, the working poor, and concentrated poverty
 * Relevant authors to cite include Michael Harrington and William Julius Wilson

 * Include all works cited in the bibliography. Oscar Lewis’ “Five Families: Mexican Case Studies in the Culture of Poverty (1959) is missing. Summarize Lewis’ definition of what a “Culture of Poverty” is rather than simply paste in a long quote missing the page referenced. Furthermore, the passage mentioning “the seventy characteristics that indicated the presence of the culture of poverty” can be found on page 188 of On Understanding Poverty: Perspectives from the Social Sciences, edited by Daniel P. Moynihan (1969)
 * A helpful write up on the “Culture of Poverty” can be found on http://www.blacksacademy.net/content/3253.html (accessed 09.18.2011)

Jacobseilo (talk) 02:11, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

1. O. Lewis is cited by a quotation (allegedly nonjudgmental) from Moynihan. Why not go to Moynihan's source, since the content is about the concept and not a critique of it by Moynihan? 2. The article says that the term was originally SUBculture of Poverty, but that it later got shortened. But in the sentence or paragraph where this assertion is made, the reference is to O. Lewis's book (and content quotation) with CULTURE of Poverty in the title. What gives? 3. A lot of the text is unnecessarily difficult to read.Kdammers (talk) 02:28, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Peer review/Karma in Hinduism/archive1

Karma in Hinduism
This article is unique in that it discusses the differences between Karma in Hinduism vs. other religions.

Raj2004 23:17, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know the subject well enough to comment on the details, but hopefully others do. I can give some general advice. 1) Karma is a Sanskrit word no? If so, put it in Devanagari script and maybe also a png image for those who don't have indic fonts installed. Also a pronunciation in Sanskrit and English in ogg format would be great. 2) References should be clear which are used to add or fact check material in the article (references) and those that have not (external links or further reading). Mixing them leaves it ambiguous if any sources have been actually used as references. 3) More use of the most authoritative sources available. You seem to have quoted from the source texts and some scholars, so more of that would be great. I don't have enough familiarity with the subject to even know if your scholars are the most prominent or not, but try for that. - Taxman Talk 23:01, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Jodie Starling doesnt know his identity, Akemi shouldn't be listed as she is dead in canon and movies should be regarded as non-canonical; besides after movie 6 Hiroki didn't exist anymore.

Jodie: Her-- and also some of her fellow agents'-- knowledge of Conan's identity is implicit; it's never been explicit.

Akemi: She knew that; it cannot be refuted. Whether she's dead is another matter; I would add a limiter to that effect.

Hiroki: 1. His death: see about Akemi above. 2. His canon status: I am a vocal opponent of putting Movie 6 as canon. But since this idea lacked cosensus, and prima facie evidence say it is so (if one tend not to analyse), so I would put his name here until there is such a cosensus.

Cleanup
This article is tagged for cleanup, but what do you think what can we do for it?

add some pictures episode information, a wider range of character stats thet kind of thing do the same thing for rachel.

Agree. This article seems to made by a Shinichi/Conan x Haibara Ai pairing's lover. There's no much of Rachel/Ran information, despite her presence is important to Jimmy/Conan in the story. 125.163.15.134 12:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Its still important, its not like the series is a romance but their relationship seems to be "more then just friends" just because they're the only ones stuck as kids. They're close and there are some moments. Then again, its kind of the same for Ran and Shinichi. And obviously they both want it to be more.

 * Alison Retzloff is the voice actor for Conan in the American Verson. Jerry Jewell plays Jimmy and The Phantom Thief in the American Verson. The movies use the same voice actors as far as I know. -Prede (talk) 23:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Change all reference toward localized names into the originals
Seriously, I think it's unproper to use localized name of america version. I almost laughed out loud when reading the entire pages of this entry on wikipedia. 202.146.253.15 10:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

It is sorry that we cannot. We have not even get a conclusion on the naming conventions for DC/CC, and for that reason we have to stick with the CC names. See: Talk:Case Closed for some discussion on this topic-- and maybe you can make some contributions. Samuel Curtis 12:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

It's not just the US - Canadian and British versions use the same names! WhisperToMe 06:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It takes me a couple of seconds to realize who Jimmy is. Even though I have all 58 volumes (of DC) in my possession. I will always think of Edogawa Conan and Shinichi Kudo first. I say we use the name the author intended. It's not like you can't pronounce it or anything, it's perfectly readable in english. Vae 17:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Unlike you guys, when I read the name Ran kind of forget that its Rachel. Its easier to read it with all the characters being in English. If you want the names in Japanese then just read the Japanese pages. Sorry guys. Then again, that's why the names are usually kept the same alexyasha 20:45, jan 8 2008, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.237.214.67 (talk) 04:47, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Update it is true that the Singapore-published Shogakukan Asia editions, distributed in four English-speaking territories (Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei) use the original Japanese names, but the userbase so far still is preferring the Viz and Funimation names, used in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Ireland. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:56, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Infobox
I think we should make an infobox for this article as well as any of the DC articles who don't. It will clear away clutter concerning voice actors, birthday, other personal information like that. A new picture without credits would be a plus also... - Jezebel Parks 04:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Plans to rewrite this article.
This article of course has not much a problem on itself (It is the highest-graded DC/CC-related article in English WP.), but I want to reorganize it to fit it in an chronological order, especially much of Jimmy's childhood have been revealed. I wonder if any would support this. -- Samuel di  Curtisi  di  Salvadori  12:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have to disagree. There are A LOT of things wrong with this article.  It is extremely messy, with an out-of-control trivia section that keeps getting bigger, completely disregarding the WP:Trivia guidelines.  Not only that, but there is too much unneeded information within the article itself which I think needs to be deleted.  As I said before, infoboxes would help with this.  The only reason I have not done so myself is because I honestly don't know how to make them.  If we take care of the above, along with grammar, the article would, in my opinion, be much MUCH better.  Jezebel Parks 17:51, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you are disagreeing at; I aim at organizing the current content better. Damn anons, they just aim at adding fancruft.-- Samuel di  Curtisi  di  Salvadori  01:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I must have misunderstoof the "has not much of a problem" part. But yes, the anons are annoying.  Jezebel Parks 01:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have started rewriting at User:Samuel Curtis/Jimmy Kudo; but is far from finished. -- Samuel di  Curtisi  di  Salvadori  19:17, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I have made a great deal of improvements in my temp article User:Samuel Curtis/Jimmy Kudo; even I agree that much have to be deisred, especially I'm not an expert on his relationship with Ai/Anita, but please comment on how I did so far.-- Samuel di  Curtisi  di  Salvadori  21:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Split nomination
I have some belief that the section on Conan's gadget's should be split in another section since if they are to be elaborated, even without risking falling into fancruft, it would be very long. Hence I nominate the section to be split to List of Conan Edogawa's gadgets. Opinions?-- Samuel di  Curtisi  di  Salvadori  16:21, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, since there is already a "List of Inventions" in Agasa's page, I think we should combine both to make a new article -Thriceplus 16:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Agasa had more inventions (or attempted but failed ones) than the ones he gave Conan. For example, the rainbow fireworks that nearly killed Takagi-- even that invention should be considered a success since Agasa was beaten unconscious before he started the fireworks.-- Samuel di  Curtisi  di  Salvadori  18:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * In that case, why not call the article "List of Dr. Agasa's inventions"? That will encompass all of Conan's devices (since they are invented by Agasa) in addition to Agasa's own inventions. -Thriceplus 22:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Moved to List of Hiroshi Agasa's inventions.-- Samuel di  Curtisi  di  Salvadori  18:32, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Relationship with Rachel
I'm just a passerby and noticed a mistake. The last sentence about Jimmy seeing Rachel in a bathing suit is incorrect, Rachel never wore a bathing suit. In the Japanese version, what really happened was that Rachel was nude while bathing Jimmy. Since I'm not sure if there's also a Japanese section, I decided not to change it. If anyone wants, I can include a scanlation of the chapter that confirms it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.161.182 (talk) 05:54, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

 * This is emphatically false. Yes, early on in the series, Ran (Rachel) bathes Conan and he saw her nude; but later on in the series he sees her in a swim suit several times. The most memorable perhaps is the one where Sonoko (Serena) sends a snapshot of Ran in a swimsuit to Conan's cell phone. He gets very red and his nose gushes. I think this is the scene that's being referenced in the article. The manga volume 48, anime 411 and 412, "The Shinto Shrine Code". --Snuzzled (talk) 05:19, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Picture
The picture looks kinda old so I suggest you there should be two separate pictures that are put in the info box of Conan and Shinichi, preferably a screenshot from the anime.Dragonsblast (talk) 01:02, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Merge of Jimmy and Conan article.
I think I can get it to work but need other's opinion. I'll see if I could follow Ichigo Kurosaki's organization.DragonZero (talk) 06:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Since it'd be a major change, I recommend you to use your userspace as a sandbox to implement those changes first. Too bad the SDB's and Movie guides I have are in Hong Kong, not the US.-- Samuel di  Curtisi  di  Salvadori  04:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Picture Mistake
The picture of the white-dressed Gentleman in the "Plot Overview"-Section, saying:

"Shinichi Kudo solving a case before he turns out into Conan Edogawa"

shows neither Shinichi Kudo, nor Conan Edogawa, but one of their antagonists, the Phantom Thief Kid. Please correct that mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.224.121.104 (talk) 00:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Conan's Age
In the Manga (Volume 1, File 2) just before She asks Conan's name she asked him how old he was, and his answer was that he was 6. to which she responded then you must be in first grade, When the the scene was recreated ins Episode 2 that was left out. But in the little scene after the credits, Conan does his intro to his new class, he complain about having start primary school again, show they have not changed his age. (Though Funimation's promotional material called him 7) Then In Movie 1, the sub plot is it is Shin'ichi's (Jimmy's) 17th Birthday (Volume 1, File 1 intro dunces him as 16). Then in Movie 3, Conan reveals in front of Ran his birthday is on the same day as Shin'ichi, making Conan now 7 --Roguebfl (talk) 21:52, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Request for clarification
According to this page, "Jimmy" is known "in Japan and internationally as Shinichi Kudo". So where is he known as Jimmy, then? It would be nice if someone familiar could edit this information in and remove what appears to be Americentrism from the page? Kanjo Kotr (talk) 14:44, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I checked with Viz Media. The Viz English version, which calls him Jimmy, is distributed to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Ireland. The Shogakukan Asia version, which calls him by his original Japanese name, is distributed to these English-speaking areas: Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei. (Thailand and Indonesia are also in the company's distribution area but I do not count them as English-speaking). WhisperToMe (talk) 03:36, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your enthusiasm, but currently the consensus established by Wikipedia editors is to use "Jimmy Kudo", which is used by English translations of the manga in the US, Canada, UK, and Ireland. There are English versions of the manga which use "Shinichi Kudo" and those are distributed in Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, and Indonesia (the latter two I do not count as English speaking countries). Now it is possible for consensus to change, but that may be difficult here. I had stated here and elsewhere that if English speaking versions of Detective Conan appear in India that use the original Japanese character names, I would make a mass move request that would be decided by conesnsus.

Shri Madhvacharya
this is a good article that can be even better improved.

Raj2004 23:21, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi; I started to look through this article to check it, but have some difficulties. I think that more specific attribution of beliefs and statements would help. Madhvacharya is believed by who? All Hindus? His followers? Shri Madhvacharya was born... according to who / which documents? (the formative years section is incomplete). Please give much more full references. Where did he teach? Who did he teach? Where did he study? What did he do? How did he come to prominence?

I think the whole section on Dvaita Philosophy should be a separate article, but it seems to be already at Dvaita in which case it should be deleted as redundant. Mozzerati 09:49, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Nobatia

Nobatia or Nobadia (Greek: Νοβαδία, Nobadia; Old Nubian: ⲙⲓⲅⲛ̅ Migin or ⲙⲓⲅⲓⲧⲛ︦ ⲅⲟⲩⲗ, Migitin Goul lit. "of Nobadia's land" ) was a late antique kingdom in Lower Nubia. Together with the two other Nubian kingdoms, Makuria and Alodia, it succeeded the kingdom of Kush. After its establishment in around 400, Nobadia gradually expanded by defeating the Blemmyes in the north and incorporating the territory between the second and third Nile cataract in the south. In 543, it converted to Coptic Christianity. It would then be annexed by Makuria, under unknown circumstances, during the 7th century.

History
The kingdom of Nobatia had been founded in the former Meroitic province of Akine, which comprised large parts of Lower Nubia and is speculated to have been autonomous already before the ultimate fall of the Kingdom of Kush in the mid 4th century.

While the Nobatae had been invited into the region from the Western Desert by the Roman Emperor Diocletian in 297 AD, their kingdom only became tangible around 400 AD. Early Nobatia is quite likely the same civilization that is known to archeologists as the Ballana culture.

Eventually, the Nobatae were successful in defeating the Blemmyes, and an inscription by Silko, "Basiliskos" of the Nobatae, claims to have driven the Blemmyes into the Eastern Desert. Around this time the Nobatian capital was established at Pakhoras (modern Faras); soon after, Nobatia converted to non-Chalcedonian Christianity.

By 707, Nobatia had been annexed by their southern neighbor, Makuria. The circumstances of this merger are unknown. It is also unknown what happened to the Nobadian royal family. The merger most likely occurred before the Muslim conquest in 652, since the Arab histories speak of only one Christian state in Nubia and reached at least as far as Old Dongola. Nobatia seems to have maintained some autonomy in the new state. It was ruled by an eparch of Nobatia who was also titled the Domestikos of Pakhoras. These were originally appointed but seem to be dynastic in the later period. Some of their records have been found at Fort Ibrim, presenting a figure with a great deal of power.

Nobatia՚s name is often given as al-Maris in Arabic histories. The eparchate of Nobadia remained an integral part of the Kingdom of Makuria until Makuria's end, as is confirmed by a document from 1463 mentioning an eparch named Teedderre.

Paganism
Since Ptolemaic times, the "state religion" of Lower Nubia had been the Isis cult of Philae. Its importance outlived the Ptolemaic and Meroitic period and Nubian pilgrims continued to travel to Philae. The temple on Philae was eventually shut down between 535 and 538 and Nubians were forbidden to enter. Another Isis cult, the Greco-Roman mysteries of Isis, has been confirmed to be practised in Nobadia by an unearthed shrine in Qasr Ibrim. This cult was practised during Meroitic times as well.

Christianity
As confirmed by epigraphical and archaeological evidence, Christianity was already present among parts of the Nobadian society even before the official conversion of 543. The Nobadian elite might have started considering to convert to Christianity in the 530s, parallel to when the Isis temple was shut down. Christianity proceeded to spread through Nobadia on various levels at different speeds. Towns, for example, were quick in adopting the new religion, while the Christianization of the villages was not accomplished until the 7th–9th centuries. South of the second cataract, Christianity seems to have begun spreading later than in the north, possibly since the late 6th or early 7th century. Many ancient Egyptian temples were converted to churches and plastered with Christian wall paintings.

Military culture
Nothing is known about the organization of the Nobatian army. Many of the weapons employed by the Nobatians had come from the Meroitic period.

Missile weapons
Archaeology from the pagan period confirms the relevance archery had for the Nubians and therefore also the Nobatians. The slightly reflexed longsbows, which are attested for Kushite mercenaries since the Middle Kingdom, were replaced by reflex composite bows during the Meroitic or post-Meroitic period, measuring around one meter and originally designed to be shot from horseback. One simple wooden self bow is known from an early Nobadian burial in Qustul. The Nobadians shot barbed and possibly poisoned arrows of around 50 cm length. To store the arrows, they used quivers made of tanned leather from long-necked animals such as goats or gazelles. Additionally, they were enhanced with straps, flaps and elaborate decoration. The quivers were possibly worn on the front rather than on the back. On the hand holding the bow, the archers wore bracelets to protect the hand from injuries while drawing the bowstring. For the nobility, the bracelets could be made of silver, while poorer versions were made of rawhide. Furthermore, the archers wore thumb rings, measuring between three and four cm. Thus, Nubian archers would have employed a drawing technique very similar to the Persian and Chinese ones, both of which also reliant on thumb rings.

At Qasr Ibrim, two crossbow darts have been discovered. The use of crossbows had hitherto been unattested in Nubia.

Melee weapons
A weapon characteristic for the Nobadians was a type of short sword. It has a straight hollow-ground blade which was sharpened only on one edge and was therefore not designed to thrust, but to hack. Apart from said swords, there were also lances, some of them with large blades, as well as halberds. It is possible that the large-bladed lances and the halberds were only ceremonial.

Body protection
Nobadian warriors and their leadership made use of shields and body armour, most of it manufactured from leather. Fragments of thick hide have been found in the royal tombs of Qustul, suggesting that the principal interment was usually buried while wearing armour. A well-preserved and richly decorated breastplate made of oxhide comes from Qasr Ibrim, while a comparable, but more fragmentary piece was discovered at Gebel Adda, albeit this one was made of reptile hide, possibly from a crocodile. Another fragment which possibly once constituted a body armour comes from Qustul. It consists of several layers of tanned leather and was studded with lead rosettes.

Curt Simmons

Curtis Thomas Simmons (May 19, 1929 – December 13, 2022) was an American professional baseball left-handed pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1947 to 1950 and 1952 to 1967. Along with right-hander Robin Roberts (a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame), Simmons was one of the twin anchors of the starting rotation of the "Whiz Kids", the Philadelphia Phillies' 1950 National League (NL) championship team. A three-time MLB All-Star, he also played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, and California Angels.

Early life and education
Simmons was born in Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. He attended Whitehall High School, where he led Whitehall to three straight league titles and also led the Coplay American Legion team to two Pennsylvania state crowns.

Philadelphia Phillies
In 1947, then Philadelphia Phillies owner Bob Carpenter arranged for an exhibition match between his Phillies and a team of all-star high school players from the Lehigh Valley. The game was played on the opening day of Egypt Memorial Park, June 2, 1947, in front of a crowd of 4,500. Simmons started for the high school team and struck out eleven Phillies as the game ended in a 4–4 tie (a late-game error was the only thing that prevented the high school team from winning). The 5 ft, 175 lb lefty was signed by the Phillies, and awarded a $65,000 signing bonus, one of the highest ever awarded at that time. That spring, Simmons also pitched and played outfield in an All-American high school game between teams managed by Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb.

In 1949, Simmons returned to the Lehigh Valley, pitching for the Phillies in an exhibition match against the Allentown Redbirds, in front of a record crowd of 4,590 at Breadon Field in Whitehall Township.

In the 1950 season, Simmons won 17 of 25 decisions, playing an instrumental role in bringing the Phillies their second National League championship of the 20th century.

With the outbreak of the Korean War, however, Simmons was called to active military service in September 1950. The Phillies managed to hold off the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1950 season's final contest on Dick Sisler's 10th-inning home run to win the National League again Simmons was stationed at Camp Atterbury and requested and was granted leave on October 4, 1950, to attend the Series. The Phillies chose not to request that the Commissioner of Baseball Happy Chandler rule Simmons eligible for the World Series, but Simmons attended it in support the team. Simmons' place on the World Series roster was taken by pitcher Jocko Thompson. Without Simmons, the Phillies were swept in four games by Joe DiMaggio and the New York Yankees.

Simmons missed the entire 1951 season while stationed in Korea with the military, but he returned in the 1952 season, winning 14 games, posting a 2.82 earned run average (ERA), and leading Major League Baseball with six shutouts. But the Phillies would never again contend for a championship during his tenure in Philadelphia, although Simmons continued to pitch with the Phillies into the late 1950s.

St. Louis Cardinals
In 1959, he was struck with a sore arm. In 1960, the Philadelphia Phillies, then in last place and in rebuilding mode, released Simmons on May 17, 1960, after four mound appearances. Simmons signed as a free agent with the St. Louis Cardinals three days later, and began a comeback that culminated in 15- and 18-game-winning seasons in 1963 and 1964, respectively, while in a pitching rotation that included Bob Gibson and Ray Sadecki. In 1964, he appeared in the World Series against the New York Yankees, starting World Series games for the world champion Cardinals, losing his only decision but compiling a 2.51 ERA.

Simmons’ last winning record was in 1964; he lost 15 games for the Cardinals in 1965.

Chicago Cubs and California Angels
Simmons finished his Major League Baseball career with the Chicago Cubs in 1966 and the California Angels in 1967.

Along with Smoky Burgess, Simmons was the last player to formally retire who had played in Major League Baseball in the 1940s not counting Minnie Miñoso, who would later twice un-retire. MLB Hall of Fame hitters Hank Aaron and Stan Musial each separately named Simmons as the toughest pitcher they had to face in their careers.

Over his two decade career in Major League Baseball, Simmons' final record was 193–182 (.515). In 569 games pitched and 3,348 $1⁄3$ innings, Simmons allowed 3,313 hits and 1,063 bases on balls. He recorded 1,697 strikeouts, 163 complete games, 36 shutouts, and five saves.

Death
Simmons died on December 13, 2022, in Ambler, Pennsylvania, at the age of 93. At the time of his death, Simmons was the last Philadelphia Phillies player from the 1940s, and the last living member of the 1950 Phillies National League pennant winning team, nicknamed the Whiz Kids because of the team's youth.

Repetto

Repetto is a French ballet shoe company founded in 1947 by Rose Repetto, after her son, choreographer Roland Petit, would come home from classes complaining of sore feet. Repetto provides ballet shoes for the Opéra National de Paris and many other well-known French ballet companies. , the company had 60 million euros in revenues and employed 340 people.

History
Rose Repetto created her first ballet shoes for her son in 1947 and soon thereafter opened up her first workshop near the National Opera of Paris. The company gained fame from creating the "Cendrillon" ballerina flat for French ballet dancer and actress Brigitte Bardot's 1956 film Et Dieu… créa la femme. In 1959, Repetto opened up a store at 22 rue de la Paix in Paris near the National Opera that remains open to this day.

The brand fell out of the limelight after Repetto's death in 1984, but French entrepreneur Jean-Marc Gaucher helped turn around the company when he took over as CEO in 1999. Since then, Repetto has expanded internationally and tried to define itself as a luxury lifestyle brand. It has branched out into a footwear collection for women, men and children, ready-to-wear, small leather goods and fragrances. The company opened its first store in America in the New York City neighborhood of Soho in the fall of 2015.

Repetto continues to launch new designs and in March 2024, it unveiled its Spring Summer Collection, which includes its iconic Cendrillon ballet flats as well as the new Camille Mules.

ABBA Live

ABBA Live is an album of live recordings by Swedish pop group ABBA, released by Polar Music in 1986.

History
A live album was something that many ABBA fans had demanded for several years. ABBA themselves had toyed with the idea on a couple of occasions, but always decided against it. Finally, four years after the members went their separate ways, a live collection was released after all. The resultant album, ABBA Live, contained recordings from 1977, 1979 and 1981. The tracks were mostly taken from ABBA's concerts at Wembley Arena in London in November 1979, with a few additional songs taken from the tour of Australia in March 1977 and the Dick Cavett Meets ABBA television special, taped in April 1981.

When this LP/CD was released, the band's popularity was at an all-time low and none of the members themselves were involved in the production of the album. Much to the dismay of both music critics and ABBA fans it also had 80's synth drums overdubbed on most tracks, taking away the true live feeling of the performances. Neither did it feature any of the tracks that the band had performed live on their tours but never included on any of their studio albums, such as "I Am an A", "Get on the Carousel", "I'm Still Alive", or the original live versions of the songs from the 1977 mini-musical The Girl with the Golden Hair: "Thank You for the Music", "I Wonder (Departure)" and "I'm a Marionette", all of which had slightly different lyrics and/or musical arrangements to the subsequent studio recordings included on ABBA: The Album. Several tracks had also been heavily edited, in the case of the 1979 live recording of "Does Your Mother Know" by as much as five minutes since it originally was performed on that tour as a medley with "Hole in Your Soul".

ABBA Live was the first ABBA album to be simultaneously released on LP and CD, the CD having three "extra tracks". The album did not perform very well, internationally or domestically, peaking at #49 in Sweden and only staying in the charts for two weeks. It was remastered and rereleased by Polydor/Polar in 1997, but is currently out of print.

Track listing
All tracks written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus except where noted.

Hanging Cloud

Hanging Cloud (known in Ojibwe as Aazhawigiizhigokwe meaning "Goes Across the Sky Woman" or as Ashwiyaa meaning "Arms oneself") was an Ojibwe woman who was a full warrior (ogichidaakwe in Ojibwe) among her people, and claimed by the Wisconsin Historical Society as the only woman to ever become one. She was the daughter of Chief Nenaa'angebi (Beautifying Bird) and his wife Niigi'o. Aazhawigiizhigokwe was of the Makwa-doodem (Bear Clan), and was born and lived most of her life at Rice Lake, Wisconsin. Her community became part of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians after the 1854 Treaty of La Pointe.

According to Morse, Aazhawigiizhigokwe wore war paint, carried full weapons, and took part in battles, raids and hunting parties. She was a full member of the war council, performed war dances, and participated in all warrior ceremonies. Shortly after father's death in 1855, her village was ambushed by her Mdewakanton uncle, Chief Shák'pí. In this ambush, she defended her village and killed a son of Chief Shák'pí, her cousin. Armstrong recorded how she was very proud of that period of her life.

Aazhawigiizhigokwe was married three times: all to non-Native Americans. Her first marriage was to Taylors Falls, Minnesota lumberman Joe Koveo. A daughter was born from this marriage, Ogimaabinesiikwe, known as Julia Quaderer, after she married John Quaderer, Jr. However, Koveo was already married and abandoned Aazhawigiizhigokwe shortly after their marriage ceremony. Her next marriage was to Rice Lake's first mayor, James Bracklin. Three children were born from this union: Nellie, Thomas, and James, Jr. Bracklin left Aazhawigiizhigokwe for a white woman, Minnie Russell. Aazhawigiizhigokwe's last marriage was to lumberman Samuel Barker, which produced two children, Mary and Edward. Barker also left Aazhawigiizhigokwe for a white woman. In her later years, Aazhawigiizhigokwe lived in the Whitefish community of the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation with son Thomas Bracklin.

Aazhawigiizhigokwe was the sister of Waabikwe (the grey haired), who according to Benjamin Armstrong, became the wife of Edward Dingley in 1857, and had a son. Her husband served in the Union Army during the American Civil War but when assumed dead, she remarried. After the War, when her first husband returned to Wisconsin and heard of his wife's remarriage, they made arrangements to meet with each other and agreed to let her maintain her second marriage. She died in 1919.

This is a good article that can be improved.

Raj2004 23:28, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It looks good overall and I don't see any major issues. In the last half of the "Teachings and significance" the prose is tending to drift from the neutral perspective a bit. For example, it asserts that "Aside Rama and Krishna there are many other human or animal forms which appeared on earth or elsewhere in the universe". This sort of statement needs to be qualified in terms of the religious beliefs. In the introduction it said there was a statement that "In any event, all Hindus believe that there is no difference between worship of Vishnu and His avatars as it all leads to Him". This is another global assertion that can not be proven. It might be better to say that "In any event, it is a tenet of Hindu faith that there is...". But that's just my 2 cents worth. Thanks. :) — RJH 17:40, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi, One of the wierd things about life is that music critics can invent new names for music, and then their new name can become more widely-used that the names actually used when a music was being first written and recorded. The same thing happens in films, as well. In the 1940s, no directors thought "I'm going to make a film noir movie". They thought "I'm gonna make a low-budget gangster thriller" or "I'm gonna make a detective flick about a lonely, bitter ex-cop". But decades later, film critics decided that all these movies were film noir movies.OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 19:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Dark Trooper

Untitled
I don't really believe that the Dark Trooper is a cyborg. Play the Star Wars Battlefront game to assure that they are humans instead of droids. You can see them talking and having pain as a humans. DarthPlaegis, 7:27, August 28, 2005

 * There are various levels. Some versions are only exoskeleton suits. In Dark Forces, the final DT you fight, is Rom Mohc in a phase 3 suit. --Pictureuploader 00:08, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * You are both missing the point: a cyborg is a fusion of man and machine- to say that one feels pain, does not give useful information, since both cyborg and normal human are the same in that respect. --Maru 01:04, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The Dark Troopers as seen in Dark Forces were not all droids as written in The Essential Guide to Droids or on the Star Wars website. The Phase 1 had to have been a droid, as it is too thin to hold a soldier. However, the Phase 2 and Phase 3 both were suits and contained a human soldier. This is also shown in both Star Wars: Supremacy (also known as Rebellion) and in Star Wars: Battlefront, where the operators are human. I have added a little bit to the article explain these contradictions and I've also fixed a part of the article which regarded them as droids. Some guy 00:38, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * If the phase II and III suits aren't droids, then it should be noted in those respective section of the article, yes? --Daedalus01 02:51, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Expanded Universe Continuity
I wrote the section about the attack on Mos Eisley in order to fit Battlefront in with the rest of the Darktrooper continuity. In Battlefront, it is the first level with the Darktroopers.

 * I do not think the events in Battlefront should be considered for this article, as the game is not really story based. Does it actually say the Dark Troopers were used to attack Tatooine? I don't recall this. Some guy 22:11, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Dark Troopers in New Jedi Order?

 * "During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, unknown to the New Republic, these droids did tremendous damage to the Yuuzhan Vong."

Is he talking about Lando's Yuuzhan Vong Hunters? Those weren't really Dark Troopers. Or is he talking about something else I'm unfamiliar with? --Joylock 10:30, 4 December 2005 (UTC).

 * You see them in Star Wars Tales 21 (I don't know if that's the right number, on the cover it says BlackEight flying for the Empire.) They get wiped out. --Anon

 * (Yes, that's the correct one; you can go see the cover over at Wookiepedia.)
 * Is that one of the canon Tales? --maru (talk) Contribs 21:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Redirect
EEMIV has made a redirect to a Dark Forces page, this I have just undone since In think it should stay, however if a good reason for the reddirect is made we can leave it. All information including the picture is below as an archive. --Stealth500! (talk) 20:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I've deleted the sloppy copy-and-paste; it's available in the edit history, or you can reformat it for appropriate talk-page display. --EEMIV (talk) 20:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok sorry about that. I read the article Star Wars Dark Forces and instead it will reddirect to Imperial Army (star wars) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stealth500 (talk • contribs) 21:06, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Maybe if you're going to redirect to an article you could put some content on there, hmm? The only mention of Dark Troopers on Imperial Army (star wars) is in the caption of a picture. Until someone decides to put some on there, let's leave what we had here.--69.215.133.53 (talk) 05:57, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * The one picture is the picture I insisted on moving however I agree that it would be very useful to haev some of this information. EEMIV and others what do you think? --Stealth500! (talk) 11:34, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Why does this page have to redirect at all? Just looking at the Imperial Army (Star Wars) page there are several things on there from the EU, no more obscure than the Dark Troopers, and with significantly less to say, that have summaries with links to their own pages.  The Dark Trooper is an interesting story, about how one little invention of the guys at LucasArts was seized upon by many EU authors reused.  It would merely clutter the Imperial Army article right now to even TRY and summarize the Dark Trooper article, and it wouldn't make much sense at this point, since that article is supposed to be about the Army, not every little variaton of Stormtrooper.  In fact, that would make MUCH more sense to redirect to, even if it IS deserving of an article addressing how they've changed since Dark Forces. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.215.133.53 (talk • contribs)

 * This article is uncited trivia, original research and plot summary. A better redirect target would probably be Dark Forces, which does have a section -- and citations -- about the Dark Trooper figure. However, this material is fancruft. Perhaps an AfD would be appropriate. --EEMIV (talk) 15:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * What section? The only info on Dark Forces is contained in the Plot summary, and fleeting mentions of "various Dark Trooper models" at the end of a sentence about enemies. Your comments about the article being uncited bring about another point, how does one cite a videogame?  Regardless, if you're dead set on redirecting somewhere, you could at least be bothered to perform some cursory searching for a suitable location.  Next to this article, the most information about Dark Troopers is found on the Imperial Stormtrooper page, which was bi-directionally linked to this before all this redirect messiness.--129.89.249.115 (talk) 20:19, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * The real-world info. -- which Wikipedia is concerned with -- is in the merchandising section of the Dark Forces article, which by the way is where I initially redirected it; the Army and Stormtrooper articles are in-universe tripe that should be heavily axed. For info. on what material should be included/cited for a good video game article -- or any article on elements of fiction -- see WP:WAF. --EEMIV (talk) 22:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * There's a difference between writing about what something is in-universe, and writing from an in-universe perspective. The Expanded Universe usage section of the old article, while not properly cited or written, is an example of such, were it to be re-written properly.  This is the information I believe should be preserved.  I could care less what their combat role is, that's something for Wookiepedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.89.135.220 (talk) 16:09, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Corsairs of Umbar
I noticed that you have edited Battle of the Pelennor Fields to say that the Corsairs of Umbar were at the battle. I don't think they were (Didn't Aragorn take over their ships?), so if you could provide a reference for this, it'd be appreciated. Eric119 01:10, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Vishnu sahasranama
This article is good. More changes could be made.

Raj2004 23:32, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't know enough about the topic to give specific advice on the content, but the section titled "Benefits of chanting Vishnu Sahasranama" appears to be bordering on non-neutral. That portion could do with a lot less simple recitation and a lot more critical analysis. The quotes section looks to be poorly formatted and the bullets should be replaced by in-line text. Otherwise overall it looks pretty decent. Thanks. — RJH 14:52, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

The benefits come at the end of Vishnu sahasranama and are part of the prayer. so it's not a point of view.

Raj2004 10:32, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well I'm sorry, but a simple recitation of a prayer is not neutral. It is entirely from the point of view of the religion and involves no analysis or critique. It is purely a form of religious advocacy. WP:NOT and Neutral point of view. Thank you. — RJH 19:35, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

This was the quoted text from the prayer. I am not advocating a point of view.

Quotes are not expected to be neutral. Now, if someone can find some criticism of the prayer, it should be included. Are you aware of any such criticism of this specific prayer, Raj? I tried to address the format concerns in the quotes section, btw. Sam Spade 21:01, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Using a religious prayer as the only source of the text for an entire section without an explanation or analysis just is not neutral. Especially when it fills up an entire page. If that section was a page by itself, it would be put up for deletion. "NPOV policy often means presenting multiple points of view. This means providing not only the points of view of different groups today, but also different groups in the past." Please see Neutral_point_of_view. Thank you. :) — RJH 17:23, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Sam, no specific criticism of the prayer. But two commentators, Sankara and Parsara Bhattar give different interprations to different names in the prayer. Sankara and Parsara Bhattar have written commentaries on the meaning of the 1000 names and come to different interpretations.

Please see for example, the name #3:

"Nama 3: vashatkAra:

One who controls and directs (not merely pervades).

Sri Bhattar interprets the names VishNu, vashatkAra, and bhuta-bhavya-bhavat-prabhu, as additional elaborations of the name visvam. The root of the word is vas - to control as He wills. It should be noted that Sri Bhattar has pointed out in his commentary for visvam that BhagavAn is everywhere with His shAdguNya paripUrNatva WHICH IS NATURAL TO HIM, in the commentary for vishNu that He permeates everything that HE CREATES AND POSSESSES, and in the current one for vashatkAra that He controls AS HE WILLS. Thus, all these guNas are not something that have been acquired or imparted by something external, but this is His will and schema.

The following passages from the sruti are given in support of the interpretation of this nAma:
 * sarvasya vaso sarvasya IsAna: - He is the Controller of all and the Ruler of all.
 * jagadvase vartatedam - The Universe is under His control.

The summarization from Nirukti is svecchayA yo sarvam vase karoti sa: vashatkAra: - One Who controls and directs everything and everyone as He wills.

Sri Sankara provides a very different interpretation for this nAma. He points out that BhagavAn is Himself the vashatkAra mantra, where vashat is a sacred sound (similar to Om, svAhA, etc). used on sacrificial offerings. It is also used in the anganyAsa and karanYasa practice before chanting the sacred slokas (e.g., sahasrArchis saptajihva iti saktyai sikhAyai vashat). Note the similarity of vashatkAra to Om kAra, a word with which we are familiar. VashatkAra is thus a mantra, and BhagavAn is the mantra svarUpi.

The explanation in terms of BhagavAn having control over all His creations is appealing because of the continuity it provides to the interpretations of the previous nAmas.

 * Thats exactly what we need, discussion of differences in interpretation, held by expert personages. Such citations are what make this a wonderful article! Sam Spade 00:57, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called IPod. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name IPod~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:27, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 13:58, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
