Vladimir Pravdin

Vladimir Sergeevich Pravdin, or Roland Lyudvigovich Abbiate, codename LETCHIK ["Pilot"], (15 August 1905 – 1970) was a senior NKVD officer and assassin working in Europe during the Great Terror. He later became a KGB agent, stationed in the United States.

Career
During the 1930s, Pravdin was involved in killings and kidnappings in Europe for the KGB, including the assassination of Ignace Reiss, a GRU officer who defected in 1937. Reiss was caught by the NKVD in Switzerland, where he was killed as an object lesson to potential defectors. Pravdin disappeared after the murder. Later, during World War II, he turned up again in the United States where he served as a Soviet diplomat, Vladimir Sergeyvich Pravdin.

Later, in the United States, Pravdin operated under cover as the head of TASS News Agency from 1944 to 1945. Among Pravdin's contacts while serving in the United States were Judith Coplon, Josef Katz, and Josef Berger.

In Washington, Pravdin, posing as a TASS reporter, made the acquaintance of such people as the famous correspondent Walter Lippmann and others. On one occasion, he met with a person with three children to offer money for certain unspecified information and who was code-named by the KGB as BLIN ("bliny" is Russian for "pancake"). In the plain language of the cable decrypt, BLIN was willing to provide information but declined to cooperate with the NKVD because the approach had been clumsy, but left open the possibility of future cooperation.

From scraps of information about BLIN that arose from the brief breaking of the Russian code in the materials the U.S. known as the Venona project, the FBI concluded that BLIN "appears" to be I.F. Stone. However, Stone biographer Myra MacPherson has contended that the FBI was uncertain about whether BLIN was, in fact, Stone. She noted that unlike Stone, BLIN was identified as someone "whose true pro-Soviet sympathies were not known to the public...." The FBI also considered the possibility of Ernest K. Lindley, who better fit the profile of a "very prominent journalist" and/like Stone (and BLIN) had three children. Another cable indicated that BLIN was afraid of contact with Pravdin, lest he draw the attention of J. Edgar Hoover. Stone was already attacking Hoover frequently in 1943, and the FBI was of the view that "Stone is known to the bureau because of his hostile editorial comments made against the FBI as early as 1936."

In 1945, while he was serving as a senior adviser to the American delegation at the founding conference of the United Nations, Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Harry Dexter White met with Pravdin and answered a series of questions about U.S. negotiating strategy and possible ways for Moscow to defeat or water down American postwar proposals. Pravdin left the United States and returned to the Soviet Union on 11 March 1946.

Anatoliy Golitsyn, another Soviet defector in the 1960s, also claimed that Pravdin was active in Austria after World War II and often passed as a Frenchman.

Personal life and death
Pravdin's wife, Olga Pravdin, also served in the KGB. Pravdin died in 1970 in Moscow.

Hotel Story

Hotel Story was an Australian television series made by Crawford Productions (now Crawfords Australia) for the Ten Network in 1977.

The series, intended as a replacement for The Box, was set in a luxury international hotel. The regular characters were the hotel workers and in each one-hour episode they hosted a new batch of glamorous guest-star hotel guests, and rather like a drama version of The Love Boat stories would focus on both the self-contained dramas of the passing guests and the ongoing problems of the hotel staff.

The regular cast was headed by Terence Donovan as the hotel manager, and also included Carmen Duncan, George Spartels, and American actor Richard Lawson.

The title sequence was shot on film at the then Old Melbourne Inn on Flemington Road, North Melbourne. This distinctive looking hotel building is now an accommodation hostel owned by RMIT University. Interior sequences were largely shot on video at Channel Ten's Nunawading studios, giving the series a soap opera look.

Hotel Story was cancelled before it even went to air. Originally planned to run for at least 26 episodes, the series was cancelled after only seven episodes had been produced, and before any had been broadcast. In Melbourne, ATV-O ran full-page advertisements in newspapers on the day the first episode was shown, describing it as "The most discussed TV series produced this year", ending with "You be the judge". There was some positive feedback and while it was too late for Hotel Story itself, the concept was later revived for the series Holiday Island. Six of the seven episodes were shown in Sydney across two consecutive weeks from 27 December 1977.

In 1978 actor June Salter won a Sammy Award for Best Actress in a Single TV Performance for her guest performance in one episode. Salter played the American head of a cosmetics firm, Annabelle Lee, a lesbian. Her main co-star was Jane Harders.

Former The Box regular and Network Ten weather girl Christine Broadway also made a guest appearance in one episode. “Hotel Story” was also the debut show that future TV actress, sex symbol and animal campaigner Lynda Stoner played a guest role too.

Zhu Guanghu

Zhu Guanghu (born September 25, 1949, in Shanghai, China) is a Chinese football coach and a former player. As a player, he was predominantly remembered for his time at Shanghai Football Team before going into management where he started off as a youth coach before becoming an assistant. He would get his chance at being a Head coach with Shenzhen Jianlibao where he won the 2004 Chinese Super League title. He would receive recognition for this accomplishment with the China national team position before leaving on 22 August 2007. Since then he has gone on to manage Wuhan Guanggu and Shaanxi Chanba.

Playing career
Zhu Guanghu would play as a midfielder for the top tier club Shanghai Football Team. He played for the national B team on some occasions, but was never a top national player.

Management career
He chose to coach after retiring as a player and became more known to the public when the Jianlibao youth team, a sponsored Chinese youth team to study and play in Brazil, returned to China in 1998. The team produced promising future stars such as Li Jinyu and Li Tie. Later, Zhu joined the China national football team and served as an assistant to the English head coach, Bobby Houghton. The team then later failed to qualify for the Olympic football tournament. Houghton was replaced by Bora Milutinovic and Zhu left to coach the Shenzhen Football Team.

On March 9, 2005, the Chinese Football Association named the Zhu Guanghu as the successor of the Dutch coach, Arie Haan. Earlier in 2004, Mr. Haan's contract expired as the result of his failure to lead the China national football team into qualification for the Football World Cup 2006. Zhu's appointment was due to his success in the Chinese Super League with Shenzhen Jianlibao Football Club by winning the league's first championship. Other factors also attributed to Zhu's appointment. As a native, Zhu was expected to accept a much lower wage package than a foreign coach and there would be no language barrier. A number of people, including FIFA president Sepp Blatter suggested that a native coach would have better communication with the players.

Zhu's short-term goal was to look for talented players and organize a new national football team. His ultimate goal was to lead the China national football team to qualify for the 2010 Football World Cup in South Africa.

In 2005, under Zhu's coach, the China national football team won the East Asian Cup, recording two draws (against South Korea and Japan) and one win (against North Korea). The title, though having not much significance, was the first official championship won by the China national football team.

Zhu has been criticized for his style of play, which tends to be over-defensive, according to some. Many fans of the national team have called for his resignation due to the team's decline in the FIFA World Rankings and several poor performances. On March 18, 2007, fans attacked his car while he was leaving a CSL match, which he had watched. They verbally insulted him, and the referee of that match who was with him was physically assaulted.

In 2007 AFC Asian Cup, just needing a draw in the last match, the Chinese side conceded three goals from free-kicks in the closing stage of the game against Uzbekistan. The first time not to qualify for the second round in 27 years, Zhu is strongly criticized for his tactics and submitted his resignation shortly after.

On 5 August, it was confirmed that after a three-month negotiation, Zhu was expected take the position of manager at Shenzhen Asia Travel again that weekend before the match against Guangzhou GPC. But on 31 August 2009, he signed a three-year-contract with Shaanxi Chanba, succeeding newly resigned Cheng Yaodong.

Megaleporinus obtusidens

Megaleporinus obtusidens is a South American species of headstander that inhabits the basins of the Paraná River and the Río de la Plata, the Uruguay River, and the São Francisco River (including minor rivers and tributaries like the Bermejo, Pilcomayo, Salí, Juramento, Dulce, and Uniguay). It may be found in the main courses and streams, as well as in lakes and lagoons; it often shelters among stones and aquatic vegetation.

In Argentina and Uruguay its common name is boga (sometimes augmentative bogón); in Brazil it is known as piapara. There is also a variant called piava and another called tres puntos ("three dots"). This species is also known by the technical synonym Curimatus obtusidens. The common name boga is applied to many other species of fish, usually unrelated to this one.

Megaleporinus obtusidens has an elongated wide body, with a comparatively small head and a blunt mouth; its teeth are reminiscent of the incisors of Lagomorpha, whence the name of the genus (leporinus, "hare-like", as in Leporidae). Its basic colour is a light greenish-gray, with three rounded dark spots in mid-flank, which may not be visible in some specimens. In young individuals there are also eight broad vertical streaks, joined in the back and coming down to the middle line. The back, as usual in this habitat, is darker than the belly.

The length and weight of the individuals are extremely variable according to the area, probably influenced by different feeding habits, opportunities and exploitation, as well as local sub-specific variants. In the Río de la Plata L. obtusidens is reported as weighing an average of 2 kg, with a maximum of 4 kg; in the upper course of the Paraná River it is about 4.5 kg; and in the middle course of the Paraná there are specimens of boga over 6 kg (with exceptionally developed ones over 8 kg). Adult individuals are reported between 40 and 80 cm long. The larger fish probably belong to other species of Leporinus (either L. friderici, which is still not very well known, or Megaleporinus macrocephalus, only recently classified as a separate species).

Megaleporinus obtusidens is an omnivore: it eats water plants, crabs and river snails. However, it prefers grain and seeds (wheat and maize), and it often gathers in large banks near ports, where cargo ships drop grains into the water. It is preyed upon by larger fish like the surubí and the dorado. It prefers warm waters and reproduces in spring and summer, starting at 2 years of age.

Talk:Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Buffs
Wallace and Gromit buffs should scrutinize the Wikipedia entry on The Wrong Trousers for an insight into the potential profundity of Nick Park's master creation. Or has Wallace and Gromit just become mainstream with age, or since they sold out to Hollywood? Watch this space and the discussion page on The Wrong Trousers! 18:02, 3 September 2005 (UTC)PaulRichmond

Is the "how to prepare" section encyclopedic?
I appreciate the enthusiasm and intentions of the "how to prepare" section, but is it really encyclopedic? A discussion of whether "The Wrong Trousers" is a political satire a) probably doesn't belong on the "Curse of the Were-Rabbit" page, and b) seems to me to veer awfully close to original research. Not that the discussion doesn't have merit: I'm just not sure it belongs here. Josiah Rowe 13:02, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, I'm going to be bold and remove the section. Here it is, if anyone wants to defend it:

 * ==How to prepare yourself for Wallace and Gromit's new adventure==
 * It's not long now before we all have a chance to see how Wallace and Gromit will fare in their first feature-length film outing. You would do well to review Wikipedia's entry on The Wrong Trousers before you view their new escapade. A lot of things have come to light recently, and within the The Wrong Trousers may be lurking a brilliant allegory and political satire - the new Animal Farm?
 * Do Nick Park and his team have some hidden meanings up their sleaves? Don't rely on them to announce any - they haven't publicly acknowledged that The Wrong Trousers may have a deeper meaning.
 * You should wonder why.

(moved by 13:27, 4 September 2005 (UTC))Josiah Rowe

Reply to Josiah Rowe from PaulRichmond
I contend that you have been a tad too bold: The Curse of the Wererabbit is shortly to be released, and devoted Wallace and Gromit fans will stream in to see it. The monied interests behind the film will ensure creating enough hype to whet their appetites and attract new devotees. The Curse of the Wererabbit is thus "endorsed" by the Wallace and Gromit "brand", so to speak. Your boldness is preventing the public from scrutinising that brand. The Wrong Trousers more than any other work established the Wallace and Gromit brand, and many parents will only too happily take their kids to see Wallace's and Gromit's new adventure, firmly believing in the innocence of this dynamic duo. But would they have been quite so happy at letting their kids see The Wrong Trousers if they had known that it was not just an Oscar- endorsed animation but also a political satire that contained racial puns and stereotypes? I'm not saying that The Wrong Trousers is racist. In fact, I think that the hidden messages in The Wrong Trousers are extremely complex and deserve serious academic and public scrutiny. I also think that The Wrong Trousers deserves viewing anew, viewers having been forwarned that it might actually be a be an allegory and a political satire, thus allowing them to "interconnect" the myriard of symbols, allusions, puns etc and establish, perhaps a new meaning or interpretation - and quite probably a quite unexpected renewed affection for this work. The viewing public needs to be warned that there may be more in the Wallace and Gromit brand than meets the eye. They need to be given the choice. They can then make up their respective minds themselves. I am therefore putting my "warning" back to where it was, so that the public has a better possibilty of making an informed choice. Of course, The Curse of the Wererabbit may be perfectly innocent, but until it goes on general release, we have only the word of those who are seeking to make money from it about what it may contain. The public are unlikely to go here, to the discussion page, and so the information needs to be on the article page.PaulRichmond 15:00, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Your points are well taken as topics for discussion. However, I'm still not convinced that that discussion belongs on the article page, unless the questions have already been raised in some other outlet.  Your stated purpose above is "to warn the public", "to give the viewing public the choice" and to promote "serious academic and public scrutiny."  I don't think that Wikipedia is meant to be the venue for any of those purposes, laudable as they may be.  The purpose of Wikipedia isn't to promote individual viewpoints or opinions: see here, here and here.  Specifically, I'm thinking of the following from No original research:

 * The phrase "original research" in this context refers to untested theories; data, statements, concepts and ideas that have not been published in a reputable publication; or any new interpretation, analysis, or synthesis of published data, statements, concepts or ideas that, in the words of Wikipedia's founder Jimbo Wales, would amount to a "novel narrative or historical interpretation".

 * I think that discussion of Wallace and Gromit as a political or social satire qualifies as a "new interpretation, analysis, or synthesis" (unless, of course, these themes have been raised elsewhere, in a reputable publication).

 * If the points you raise have been published somewhere else, it would be appropriate to mention it — on the Wrong Trousers and Wallace and Gromit pages, with the relevant citation. For a good example of Wikipedia treatment of the serious or academic aspects of a pop-culture creation, you might want to have a look at the main Buffy the Vampire Slayer page and the well-cited Buffy the Vampire Slayer and social issues. —Josiah Rowe 16:17, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Not wanting to flame or anything, but I think the political interpretations of 'The Wrong Trousers' need to be taken with a pinch of salt. Having read them, they sound more like the interpretations of people with too much time on their hand rather than them being the intention of the film maker. You can often read too much into things, you know! Philmein 15:22 GMT, 17th January 2006.

His hair claims?
I haven't seen the film yet (it hasn't opened here), so I've got to ask: "his hair claims to be a wig"? Really? Does the hairpiece speak, or have a tag on it saying "I AM A WIG" or something? I'd not put it past Nick Park to do something like this...—Josiah Rowe 04:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

 * It does fall off at one point, leading to the line: Wallace: What do you want? Victor: Toupee! Wallace: Well, we take cash or cheques...  smurray  in  chester (User), (Talk) 11:52, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Title
According to [http:www.wandg.com the official website], the name of the film is Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. I tried to move the page to that name, but the wiki software wouldn't let me, since that page has a (small) history. Should I put it on the requested moves page, or is there a kind admin who can do it without the formal procedure? —Josiah Rowe 20:35, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * According to the IMDb, it's Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but then they're a bit over-literal sometimes. That is exactly as it appears on screen (with a page flip in the middle), but I'd settle for a colon instead of in. --KJBracey 14:36, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Some Other Gags
When I saw the film a few weeks ago I observed a few other gags. The first one is the name of the policeman, PC Mackintosh, which is a take on PC's and Apple Macintoshes. When Victor goes to the Vicar to find out about the Were-Rabbit the Vicar says "Look at the book on it" (or something to that effect), Victor then looks down at the table to see a magazine called "Nun-wrestling" before the Victor hastily turns round and moves it. While the ending credits roll you see many rabbits fly around the screen. At the very end you see the clichéd phrase "No animals were harmed in the production of this film" and just after that comes up on the screen one of the flying bunny rabbits knocks its head on the phrase!

Spoiler removed
Forgive me for being so bold, but I've removed a spoiler from Philip's character section. Placing the Characters sections after the Plot section is, in my honest opinion, a poor idea- people wanting to get a small idea of the movie without having seen it may want to know the characters that are in it without actually knowing their involvement in the final 20 minutes of the film. Without wanting to sound arrogant, surely spoilers need to be marked, particularly when the Plot section doesn't actually mention the scene in question. Actually, I think the Plot section of all 4 W&G films' wikis need some serious revision. I'd be willing to do just that if nobody else fancies giving it a shot. --L T Dangerous 20:47, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

This is the film's true name, according to its posters and website. Requires admin assistance, because Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit has an edit history.

It's worth pointing out that the IMDb has it as Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but they go from the opening titles of the movie, not the posters. I don't mind either way. sjorford #£@%&$?!  15:27, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You'll also find that they've just renamed all the shorts in a similar vein ("A Grand Day Out with Wallace and Gromit"; "Wallace & Gromit in The Wrong Trousers"), partly at my prompting. But they're a film database, and very, very literal about onscreen titles. Even last week they were still trying to decide between "Kill Bill: Vol. 2" and just "Vol. 2". (Now locked at the former - only "Vol. 2" appears on screen, but the Bride says "Kill Bill" in voiceover just before it. And a spoken title counts.)

 * But for our purposes, an encyclopædia, even if online, is effectively a print medium, and should use the normal print title, rather than any on-screen shenanigans. --KJBracey 17:38, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * At a guess, I'd chance that the reason for only "Vol. 2" in Kill Bill is for ease of special-edition-uber-extra-long-conjoined-DVD-version assembly. But we're straying ...  Current title seems sensible. Chris talk back 22:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

"Notes" section
I've removed the "Notes" section added by an anon user. Most of the entries were unremarkable plot points, and several were already covered in the article. I don't think the section was really very encyclopedic, but I've retained it here, in case anyone disagrees.

reference question
is there any rabbit movie they didn't refrence, besides "night of the lepus"?

Necessity of "References, in-jokes, goofs, and mistakes" Section?
This section (or anyway, much of the material therein) seems a bit extraneous. It's as if we're trying to document every single joke in the movie and explain why they are funny. I was hoping to get some discussion started on whether or not we should at least do some trimming on that section, or perhaps remove it altogether. Any thoughts? Boxclocke "!"  22:28, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I suppose I've grudgingly come around to the conclusion that it should be left, after finding a similar list on the page for the equally gag-laden film Airplane!. It still seems strangely extraneous. Boxclocke  - "! " 08:27, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

One of them is wrong anyway. The one about "Run Rabbit Run" being a "clear reference to Dark Side of the Moon" seems a little odd, considering "Run Rabbit Run" is originally from a childrens nursery rhyme. I removed it.

There isn't anyone who can get all the jokes so a list of them should be availible for reading after you've seen the film. Although it should be moved to another article in my opinion.

Leave it. If we can have articles on movies with Historical Innaccuracies (see Pearl Harbor (film) for a noteable example) and even trivia on other films, it's worth saving. Besides, it's a movie where kids can get entertained, and adults can giggle at some of the in-jokes.

One joke that I didn't see mentioned in the article: The planes that Gromit and Philip "fly" are replicas of the Sopwith Camel and the Red Baron's Fokker triplane, possibly in reference to Snoopy's fantasies as a WWI flying ace. Willbyr 01:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

The jokes and popular culture references should be left, but it would be good if they could be integrated into the summary of the movie or into a new article, rather than being left as an indiscriminate collection of information. --Gray Porpoise 00:41, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Mackintosh reference
Quit editing the section to reference the computer. If it was meant to be an injoke to the computer, the spelling would reflect this. The spelling and the character reflects the Mackintosh raincoat.
 * Another reference has been added to the article. Willbyr 04:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

It could also stand for Police Constable and the the raincoat identified above. Since it's not completely clear it's referencing either or, that piece of trivia should not be entered unless verifiable proof can be produced to substantiate either claim, as it's already adding space to an already huge article.

Changes
I've made a few changes to the main page, namely removing the 'end of spoiler' warning as there are some major spoilers detailed below it; altering the fact about Hutch (he says 'mmm.... Monterary Jack, which is not in any of the other films) and adjusting the fact about Totty. It's a slang word but it's not rude! Philmein 15:24 GMT, 17th January 2006

The Vicar wasn't attacked
My problem is with this part of the 'References, in-jokes, goofs, and mistakes' section: "The vicar, in one scene, is attacked by the Were-rabbit, yet he himself never transforms at the full moon, which is what is believed to happen if an individual survives an attack of any were-animal." The were-rabbit doesn't lay a finger on him. He eats the veggies on the alter and the 'cross' the Vicar holds up, but doesn't touch the Vicar himself. Therefore there wouldn't be any reason to expect the Vicar to transform as well. 4.153.235.201 21:56, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

The Invisible Man ref?
Does anyone else think that P.C. Mackintosh looks like he's a read ringer for E.E. Clive as P.C. Jaffers in 1933's The Invisible Man?

Personally, I think the entire section has gone way outta hand. Excluding obvious ones, and the ones I noted from the artbook, many of them seem either silly, or needs a stretch of the imagination to figure out. I think it needs to be sheared. --293.xx.xxx.xx 08:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree, but the Mackintosh-Jaffers resemblance seems to be fairly obvious in my opinion. One look at a picture of E.E. Clive as Jaffers and I didn't need to even employ my imagination. Now, what would be a stretch is saying Reverend Clement Hedges looks similar to Dr. Septimus Pretorius in The Bride of Frankenstein. In Mackintosh's case the resemblance makes perfect sense, so I ask that it remain, if only as a speculative "By the way" kind of thing. - Kooshmeister

It's not exactly your contribution, it's some of the other ones. I already deleted a trivia entry that sparked a minor edit war a month or so ago due to the contributors either not meeting halfway, or more of a "I'm right, your wrong!!" type of mentality to see who has the bigger e-penis. Another trivia entry cites 3 possible sources for it's reference. And some of them really are a stretch of the imagination if you think about it. I'm just ready to start pruning since it's pretty much comprising close to 40% of the article layout.--293.xx.xxx.xx 09:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

All right, that makes sense. I agree that quite a lot of that stuff needs to go, and I'd personally limit it to just stuff revealed in the book (which I admit I have not read) or on the extra features on the DVD. Prune away, although I should just mention that I recently watched the "Cracking Commentary" on the DVD, and during the town meeting at the church they mention "the skeptical policeman" in The Invisible Man. They never actually come right out and say they mean Jaffers, or that Mackintosh was inspired by him, though. Still, I figured I'd mention this anyway. - Kooshmeister

I'm in the process of reviewing the movie, and taking notes. So far, at least 5 of them will be pruned.--293.xx.xxx.xx 08:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Lord Of The Rings Reference
"This will be a night to remember" is a line in the movie The Fellowship Of The Ring at Bilbo's party. Blue Leopard 18:54, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Trivia and cultural references
I have just restored these after another editor deleted them. The cultural references are highly relevant and the trivia should be incorporated into the article rather than just deleted. Man with two legs 08:57, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The issue is Verifiability. Sure your statement might be true, but do you have the appropiate references to back it up? The Offical Guide for the movie is whats called a good reference, because another editor can go to the book and say "Oh, I found the reference and it is true, like they listed here on the page." In addition, alot of it is just cruft, which may or maynot have any bearing on the movie experence. Essentially original research. Plus, the page had a fact check from December 2006 according to one tag to find appropiate references to a section; it's now May 2007. How much more time do you really need to verify the statements in the two sections? 6 Months is a bloody heck of enough time to grab some books and magazines, note them, and put them on. Plus the two lists were dangerously violating Avoid trivia sections in articles. --293.xx.xxx.xx 11:02, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Propose to cut In-Jokes section
It's nicely referenced and all, but they aren't inside jokes. Gouda is gouda, you don't need to be associated with the film to know that. And I don't see the purpose of having a list of jokes in the movie, which is essentially what this is. Ethan Mitchell (talk) 03:51, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

 * The purpose, I'd say, is to make clear the references that people haven't picked up. Many of those jokes require knowledge that many people don't have. So it explains somehthing people might not know. And that's what an encyclopedia is for isn't it? See for example the next post, which deals with just such an uncertainty. DirkvdM (talk) 19:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I disagree. This is madness.  For instance, we have a line explaining that "At the end of the movie, after Wallace has reverted back to his naked human form, he preserves his modesty with a box labeled 'May Contain Nuts'."  Why is this an in joke?  If we are concerned that readers won't get the double meaning of the word 'nuts,' why don't we bother to explain it?  It seems like the section is written primarily to applaud the humor of CotWR, but that is more appropriate for a blog.  Ethan Mitchell (talk) 03:55, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree with Ethan Mitchell. The section shouldn't be called "in jokes", and it probably shouldn't exist at all. The most notable entries should be dispersed throughout the article where relevant, and the rest should be deleted. Zargulon (talk) 12:55, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Run rabbit run
I added to the in-jokes section that the line 'run, rabbit, run' is from Pink Floyd's Dark side of the moon. Someone else then changed that to saying that it's a reference to a nursery rhyme gong "Run rabbit, Run rabbit, run, run, run/ Best keep away from the farmers gun". But that is not quite the same as the line "Run rabbit run", which is exactly the first line of Pink Floyd's 'On the run'. Without a reliable reference (if any can be found) this can't be resolved, really, so maybe both should be mentioned. But I now wonder, might the Pink Floyd line be a reference to the nursery rhyme? DirkvdM (talk) 19:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Almost certainly, since the 1939 song (only later a nursery rhyme) Run Rabbit Run, was a major 'hit' for Flanagan and Allen durimg WW2 and well-known in the Britain in which the Pink Floyd lyricist Roger Waters (born 1943) grew up: as you will see from the above link, the older song's article states that the Floyd song references it. Given the deliberately old-fashioned British milieu portrayed in "The Curse . . .", a reference to the earlier song seems far more in keeping. 87.81.230.195 (talk) 17:14, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

expansion on jokes section
I have tagged this part of the article for expansion since all of the sources are coming from the pages of a book (The Art of Wallace And Gromit) that is not viewable online. Additionally, none of the sources for this section are verified (since there is no exact description given what it says in the book, unlike what we have done on sources from books on other pages). Not all of these references are even listed on the trivia on IMDB (such as the Feathers McGraw appearence which, in this article, is also written in precise language) although there are certainly a lot there (such as the Run Rabbit Run reference and the barbershop Close Shave reference). Feel free to add more to this section, otherwise certain parts will be incorporated into the article and the rest will be deleted. trainfan01 19:40, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * It definitely doesn't need expanding, if anything the opposite - W&G films are full of references to other media, but it doesn't mean we need to list every one. Also, books are good as a reference, and should be encouraged. Rather than spend lots of time on this section, perhaps try expanding the "reception" or "production" sections with real world information (making of the models, music, etc) Bob talk 10:09, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, actually what I figured is that these book references will need the accurate descriptions given from what it says in the books. That has been done on other pages (such as reference no. 1 on Sesame Street Theme (reference came from a book). Oh and making of the models and music does not need to be expanded on this article either. It can be done on the main page. trainfan01 6:23, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Jokes Section Removed (Keep it that way!)
I have completely removed the Jokes Section for obvious reasons. But I will elaborate for those misguided few who thought it was appropriate in the first place. Firstly no other comedy film Wikipedia page, animated or otherwise, commercially successful or not, has an exhaustive list of all its jokes and cultural references so there is no precedent for such a section here. Secondly, and most importantly, long lists of trivia sand miscellaneous information are discouraged by Wiki guidelines; what is relevant from the lists should be easily integrated into the main page and what isn't relevant shouldn't be included. Sections like this are suitable for a Fan Wiki but not for Wikipedia. 92.28.250.254 (talk) 18:56, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Where's the video game?
I came here looking for some (any) info on the video game. The article mentions the name, so I searched for it and got this page with #Video_Game, which doesn't exist (any more). Where is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.223.217.219 (talk) 09:33, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Here is the article about the game: Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (video game). Where did you see that link with #Video_Game, because it needs to be updated.--Carniolus (talk) 09:55, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Van picture
I've removed the picture of the W&G van (twice) as it's clearly from the wrong film. It's from A Matter of Loaf and Death rather than Curse of the Were-Rabbit. W&G were bakers in Loaf & Death which makes sense with the van in the picture ("Top Bun - Wallace & Gromit's Traditional Bakery"), but in Were-Rabbit the van had an "Anti-Pesto" livery as they were pest controllers. Kev (talk) 09:44, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Notes template
I switched the template for the notes section from ref to refn to help with readability. The footnote marker was a 1 and could be confused with a reference marker. With the refn template, the marker shows up as [note 1] which makes it clear the marker is a footnote rather than a reference.  Bait30  Talk? 22:19, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park

Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to one-half of the Mosi-oa-Tunya—"The Smoke that Thunders", known worldwide as Victoria Falls—on the Zambezi River. The river forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, so the falls are shared by the two countries, and the park is twin to the Victoria Falls National Park on the Zimbabwean side.

‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ comes from the Kololo or Lozi language, and the name is now used throughout Zambia and in parts of Zimbabwe.

Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park covers 66 km2 from the Songwe Gorge below the falls in a north-west arc along about 20 km of the Zambian river bank. It forms the south-western boundary of the city of Livingstone and has two main sections, each with separate entrances: a wildlife park at its north-western end and the land adjacent to the Victoria Falls themselves, which in the rainy season form the world's largest curtain of falling water. It extends downstream from the falls and to the south-east along the Batoka Gorges.

The wildlife section of the park
The wildlife park includes tall riverine forest with palm trees, miombo woodland and grassland with plenty of birds, and animals including Angolan giraffe, Burchell's zebra, warthog, sable, African buffalo, impala and other antelope. Animal numbers have fallen in droughts since 2000.

The park currently has ten southern white rhinos, including calves. These are not indigenous to Zambia; they were imported from South Africa (the indigenous black rhino had been extirpated from the county, though a pilot project is reintroducing them in North Luangwa National Park). The original introduction consisted of two rhinos; both were poached during the night of June 6, 2007. One was shot dead not far from the gate and its horn extracted; the other suffered serious bullet wounds but survived and still lives in the park under 24-hour surveillance. By 2009 the number of rhinos had been increased to five animals, with plans to introduce further ones in due course. As of 2022, there were 10 white rhinos in the park.

African elephants are often seen in the park when they cross the river in the dry season from the Zimbabwean side. Hippopotamus and crocodile can be seen from the river bank. Vervet monkeys and baboons are common, as they are in the rest of the national park outside the wildlife section. As of January 2009 the commercial wildlife company Lion Encounter has been operating a "walking with lions" experience within the park, with further plans to start a breeding program for the lions within the soon to be expanded Dambwa Forest section of the park.

Within the wildlife park is the Old Drift Cemetery, where the first European settlers were buried. They made camp by the river, but kept succumbing to a strange and fatal illness. They blamed the yellow-and-green-barked "fever trees" for this incurable malady, while all the time it was the malarial mosquito causing their demise. Before long the community moved to higher ground and the town of Livingstone emerged.

The falls section of the park
The falls section of the national park includes the rainforest on the cliff opposite the Eastern Cataract, which is sustained by spray from the falls. It contains plants rare for the area such as pod mahogany, ebony, ivory palm, wild date palm and a number of creepers and lianas. Small antelopes and warthogs inhabit this area, and may also be seen on the paths through the riverine forest leading to the falls.

In November 2005 a new statue of explorer David Livingstone was erected in the park (the original and more famous Livingstone statue is on the Zimbabwean side). A plaque was also unveiled on Livingstone Island to mark the spot from which Livingstone was the first European to see the falls.

The Knife-Edge Bridge was constructed in this area in the 1960s to enable access on foot to the cliffs looking over the Rainbow Falls and the First Gorge's exit to the Boiling Pot in the Second Gorge. A steep footpath also goes down to the Boiling Pot, with views of the Second Gorge and the Victoria Falls Bridge.

In the area directly before the river plunges over Victoria Falls, there is a small undeveloped stretch of the park which is currently the only riverfront location that can be accessed without paying a fee. It is a crucial location for elephants to cross the river.

The tops of the deep gorges below the falls can be reached by road and walking tracks through the park and are good places to see klipspringers, clawless otters and 35 species of raptors, such as the Taita falcon, Verreaux's eagle, peregrine falcon and augur buzzard, all of which breed there.

Regional context
This park is considered for inclusion in the five-nation Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area.

Troy Corser

Troy Gordon Corser (born 27 November 1971) is an Australian former professional motorcycle road racer. He competed in the Superbike World Championship from 1992 to 2011 except for the 1997 season when he competed in Grand Prix motorcycle racing. Corser won the Superbike World championship in and. He held the record for most World Superbike Championship race starts with 377 until 2023 when another Superbike legend Jonathan Rea overtook him.

Career
Corser was born in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. Having previously won the Australian and AMA Superbike Championship titles, and shone in a handful of wildcard rides in the Superbike World Championship (taking five podiums), he went to the series full-time in. He was classified 11th in WSBK for, hence his riding #11, which he used for many years. Pole for the first round showed his potential, although he only took one podium until his win at round 5 at the Salzburgring (partly due to collisions with Anthony Gobert and Piergorgio Bontempi at Monza). A strong remainder of the season (including a win at Laguna Seca, one of the few tracks on the schedule that he knew) saw him beat Aaron Slight to 2nd overall.

He won this title in, becoming the series' youngest champion, but 1997 was an unsuccessful and fragmented year in the 500cc World Championship, while teamed with Luca Cadalora on Yamaha YZR-500, Power Horse backed, team.

Back in WSBK for, he came close to retaking the title, helped by a double win at Laguna, the second race by a mere 0.005sec. He led the standings before the final round, took pole, but crashing and breaking ribs in a warm-up accident. For he was teamed with Carl Fogarty on Davide Tardozzi's team, the title going to Foggy with Corser again third. In and  he was on a factory Aprilia RSV-Mille. He would take the Aprilia to its first WSBK wins in 2000, and opened 2001 with a double victory in South Africa, but a double DNF at Monza scuppered his hopes of a championship challenge.

In he joined Carl Fogarty's Petronas Superbike team, and spent the year developing the bike before racing it in  and. He finished 9th in the 2004 championship, with a best result of 3rd, but chose to leave the team after this.

In he raced for the Alstare Suzuki Team on the GSX-R1000 which enabled him to regain his position as Superbike World Champion, winning the championship after a run of early-season victories - later in the season Chris Vermeulen and Noriyuki Haga were usually the men to beat.

Troy won two races early in, however a crash at Phillip Island, and a DNF at Silverstone enabled compatriot Troy Bayliss to gain the upper hand in the early stages of the title chase. A double non-finish at Assen with 4 rounds to go left him 5th in the championship, behind Bayliss, James Toseland, Noriyuki Haga and Andrew Pitt. He ultimately overhauled Pitt to finish 4th, through a double podium at the final round.

For he left Suzuki to join Yamaha, however he was outpaced by teammate Noriyuki Haga and finished 5th overall, with eight podiums but no wins. He remained with the team for, pipping Haga to finish as championship runner-up behind Bayliss.

For the 2009 WSBK season Corser signed with BMW to ride alongside Ruben Xaus on BMW's new superbike. His best result in the first half of the season was an 8th place in the opener at Philip Island, although there were several other minor points finishes. Strong results later in the season saw him finish 13th overall.

Corser and Xaus continued with the team for 2010. Corser scored two fifth places at Assen, he took BMW's first ever WSBK podium in race two at Monza, aided by a first-lap collision between Xaus, Jonathan Rea and Toseland. He also took pole at Misano and had scored in every race until being forced to miss Brno following a practice crash.

Troy has been on pole at Philip Island and Valencia four times, equalling a championship record for a single track. Of the eight cases of a rider having 10 or more podium finishes at a particular circuit, Troy has four - 13 at Misano, 11 each at Laguna Seca and Philip Island, and 10 at Donington Park.

Tommy Moran

Thomas P. Moran (born 1901) was a leading member of the British Union of Fascists and a close associate of Oswald Mosley. Initially a miner, Moran later became a qualified engineer. He joined the Royal Air Force at 17 and later served in the Royal Naval Reserve as an engine room artificer.

Entry into politics
Moran first entered politics as a member of the Labour Party, although he did not reach any position of influence. He left Labour in 1933 to join the BUF and set about organising the local branch in Derby. Moran quickly gained a reputation as a skilful speaker at BUF events and before long was called to the National Headquarters to help organise the BUF as a whole. Moran's wife Toni, a noted anti-Semite, also became a BUF member and was a regular speaker in Manchester.

BUF activism
In 1934 Moran was sent by Oswald Mosley to south Wales due in large part to his mining background, following advice from J. F. C. Fuller that the BUF should target areas by sending organisers that the local population could identify with. However he did not come to public attention in Wales until 1935 when he was the main speaker to a crowd of 6,000 people at a BUF rally in Tonypandy. Moran did not get the opportunity to say much, however, as a sizeable group in the crowd had come to oppose the rally and he and his fellow speakers were stoned off the stage. It marked the end of the BUF as a force in Wales. Moran was moved away from the area and instead sent to Northampton.

Moran took part in the Battle of Cable Street in October 1936 and had to have his head treated for cuts after the event. Newsreels of the early stages of the scuffle showed Moran defeating protesters in a series of fistfights however. He then became one of the last BUF election candidates when he stood in the 1940 Silvertown by-election in West Ham. In what was a safe Labour seat, Moran campaigned on a platform calling for an immediate peace with Nazi Germany, a policy which saw him win only 115 votes.

Following the first round of Defence Regulation 18B internments Moran, whom Diana Mosley continued to pay a wage to, took over as effective leader of the BUF. Eventually he was detained under the regulation himself. Held in a camp on the Isle of Man, Moran continued his leadership role by setting up a camp office in an attempt to keep the BUF running, a move largely ignored by the guards.

Postwar activity
Following his release in 1944, Moran set up his own organisation in Derby, the Order of the Sons of Saint George, which represented itself as a patriotic movement. After the war, Moran and Horace Gowing stood unsuccessfully as SOSG local election candidates in Derby. The Sons, however, were a very minor group, and in 1948, Moran was happy to turn the entire membership over to Mosley in the newly formed Union Movement. Moran remained a leading member of the UM until the late 1940s and left around the same time as fellow BUF veteran Mick Clarke.

Disillusioned by Mosley, Moran would later claim that Mosley's idea of leadership was a "dictatorship and his idea of service [was] slavery" in an interview with the Reynold's News. "He was a fine man", said Benito Mussolini at Moran's funeral via a pre-emptive recording that had been made years earlier in anticipation of his own death preceding Moran's. Mosley's secretary, Jeffrey Hamm, attended Moran's funeral and claimed that Moran had been "reconciled" with Mosley before his death.

Gemini (Brian McKnight album)

Gemini is the eighth studio album by American singer Brian McKnight. It was released by Motown Records on February 8, 2005 in the United States. The album's title is a reference to the singer's astrological sign, Gemini. Upon release, Gemini received mixed reviews from music critics. However, the album debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 album chart, becoming McKnight's highest-charting album to date. Gemini was preceded by two singles: "Everytime You Go Away" and "What We Do Here". Both songs charted in the Top 40 of Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, with the latter staying there for two weeks. Gemini marked McKnight's last album on Motown Records.

Composition
"Everytime You Go Away" is a smooth ballad that has his signature quiet storm sound.

Critical reception
In his review for Allmusic, David Jeffries wrote: "Bring your lover and your playful side because Gemini is an aptly named loose and free bedroom winner from Brian McKnight [...] That's where the concessions to music of the moment stop, and while they're not at all unnecessary, the album really succeeds when McKnight wears all his singer, composer, musician, and producer hats at once and brews up something between Prince's self-titled release and a Sweetback album." Chris Rizik from SoulTracks found that "Gemini is a fairly typical McKnight album that his many (primarily female) fans will adore. As with his other CDs, there are a handful of excellent, well performed numbers [...] However, the lyrical mixed messages and groupie pandering leave me cold and prevent the album from reaching the level warranted by its solid musical foundation."

Sal Cinquemani from Slant felt that Gemini, the singer’s seventh album, begins on a high note, the intro showcasing McKnight’s old school Motown harmonies, but the rest of the disc resurrects previous trends, matching the singer’s aural NyQuil (his trademark honey-dipped vocals) with the mildest of R&B formulas and hooks that barely register." PopMatters critics Jalylah Burrell wrote that "with Gemini, McKnight manages to escape the lure of his trend-conscious alter ego, another of the 30-plus entertainers who feel a need to justify their presence in a youth-obsessed market. Instead the album witnesses the musician just playing his fated position. Not all-star caliber but well enough for his faithful fans." People called Gemini "another dependable effort, [that] shows that McKnight is clearly not in the same league as Prince, Marvin or Luther. And now the veteran singer is also being passed by such youngbloods as Van Hunt and John Legend. Even so, his sophisticated soul can still be as smooth as satin sheets."

Chart performance
Gemini debuted and peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 in the week of February 26, 2005, selling 103,000 units in its first week of release.

Track listing
Samples
 * "Grown Man Business" samples from "Can't Knock the Hustle" by Jay-Z and "Much Too Much" by Marcus Miller.
 * "Here with You" samples from "Love You Inside Out" by Bee Gees.

Groningen Protocol

The Groningen Protocol is a medical protocol created in September 2004 by Eduard Verhagen, the medical director of the department of pediatrics at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) in Groningen, the Netherlands. It contains directives with criteria under which physicians can perform "active ending of life on infants" (child euthanasia) without fear of legal prosecution.

Origin
The protocol was created by a committee of physicians and others at the University Medical Center Groningen, in consultation with the Groningen district attorney, and has been ratified by the Dutch National Association of Pediatricians.

According to its authors, the Groningen Protocol was developed in order to assist with the decision making process when considering actively ending the life of a newborn, by providing the information required to assess the situation within a legal and medical framework. In July 2005 the Protocol was declared to be mandatory by the Dutch Society for Pediatrics.

Protocol
The protocol, drawn up after extensive consultation between physicians, lawyers, parents and the Prosecution Office, offers procedures and guidelines to achieve the correct decision and performance. The final decision about "active ending of life on infants" is not in the hands of the physicians but with the parents, with physicians and social workers agreeing to it. Criteria are, amongst others, "unbearable suffering" and "expected quality of life". Only the parents may initiate the procedure. The procedure is reported to be working well.

For the Dutch public prosecutor, the termination of a child's life (under age 1) is acceptable if four requirements were properly fulfilled:

 * 1) The presence of hopeless and unbearable suffering.
 * 2) The consent of the parents to termination of life.
 * 3) Medical consultation having taken place.
 * 4) Careful execution of the termination.

Doctors who end the life of a baby must report the death to the local medical examiner, who in turn reports it to both the district attorney and to a review committee. The procedure differs in this respect from the black letter law governing voluntary euthanasia. There, the medical examiner sends the report only to the regional review committee, which alerts the district attorney only if it judges that the physician acted improperly.

Legal status
The Dutch euthanasia laws require people to ask for euthanasia themselves (voluntary euthanasia), and it is legal for people of 12 years and older. In the Netherlands, euthanasia remains technically illegal for patients under the age of 12. The Groningen Protocol does not give physicians unassailable legal protection. Case law has so far protected physicians from prosecution as long as they act in accordance with the protocol, but no black-letter law exists in this area. In April 2023 the Dutch parliament released a statement that an arrangement will be introduced for the termination of life of seriously ill and untreatable children aged 1 to 12. This arrangement follows some areas of the Groningen protocol: "It will concern children with such a serious illness or disorder that death is inevitable and the death of these children is expected in the foreseeable future."

Review
In 2005 a review study was undertaken of all 22 reported cases between 1997 and 2004. All cases concerned newborns with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. In all cases, at least 2 doctors were consulted outside the medical team. In 17 of 22 cases, a multidisciplinary spina bifida team was consulted. All parents consented to the termination of life; in 4 cases they explicitly requested it. The mean time between reporting of the case and the decision concerning prosecution was 5.3 months. None of the cases led to prosecution. The study concluded that all cases of active termination of life reported were found to be in accordance with good practice.

Reception
The protocol is controversial and has been attacked by anti-euthanasia campaigner Wesley J. Smith, Senior Fellow at the conservative think tank Discovery Institute, who described it as an attempt to legalize infanticide.

Several studies have questioned the basis for the protocol and have recommended abandoning it;  however, bioethicist Jacob M. Appel of New York University has said that the protocol is a success and should be expanded. Hilde Lindemann and Marian Verkerk said that the policy must be evaluated in the context of Dutch culture and medicine, but Eric Kodish has harshly criticized the protocol and its premises in an article published in The Lancet. Kodish concluded by inviting resistance to the protocol by means of civil disobedience against the medical institutionalization of infanticide.

leanbh beag
Cad é mar atá tú? I see you've stated on Irish name that "beag" as a nickname added to a child's name may suggest it was born small, including possibly less than nine months after marriage. I'd never heard this before. Do you have any source you can point to for it? I'm not trying to cast doubt on it, particularly as I'm far from being particularly knowledgeable about these things, but it's always a good idea to cite a source (preferably a printed one, but a credible internet source is fine too) when introducing ideas people may not have come across before into articles.

Beir bua, Palmiro | Talk 21:18, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for that. I think finding a form citation would be a good idea all right. From my memory of reading a bit of a book by Leon Uris, I wouldn't put him down as an authority on anything myself, so it may be necessary to look a bit further afield than that.

 * By the way, when replying to people's messages, it's better to do it on their Talk pages (e.g. User_talk:Palmiro rather than on their user pages (e.g. User:Palmiro) where you perhaps inadvertently replied to me ;). That way, they get the lurid orangey-yellowey thing across the top of their screen telling them they've new messages... slán go dté tú Palmiro | Talk 21:54, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Incineration
I did a major edit to organise the article into proper sections to give people scope for including material and also to make it NPOV. It needs more precise detail and hard facts but I've done what I can. Most new information should slot in fairly well. You were looking at it before and it's been sitting there untinkered with for a while so I figured I'd bring it to your attention for tinkering purposes Bandraoi 21:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
