Santa Barbara Unified School District

The Santa Barbara Unified School District (Distrito Escolar Unificado de Santa Bárbara) is the main public school district that serves Santa Barbara and Goleta, California. On January 12, 2011, the board of education unanimously approved a resolution to reorganize the Santa Barbara Elementary and Secondary School Districts into a single unified school district. The changeover began July 1, 2011.

Because the state provides a fiscal incentive for school district that unify, unification will result in $6 million of ongoing revenue the Santa Barbara Unified School District.

History
First attempts at creating public schools began in Santa Barbara after the founding of the Presidio in the 1790s, with mixed success. But as Robert Christian wrote in his thesis on the history of the district, "...on June 6, 1866, the Santa Barbara School District was formed. The schools were no longer administered by the County Superintendent, but in complete control of the electorate of the city. In 1866, Alpheus B. Thompson, County Superintendent reported that there were three school districts in the County: San Buenaventura, Montecito, and Santa Barbara. The census showed that there were 1,243 children between the ages of five and fifteen residing in the County, with only 325 pupils enrolled in schools, plus forty-one enrolled in private schools. Each district had two schools, with the length of the school year varying from three to five months. The teachers’ salaries varied from $30 to $50 per month, with the Santa Barbara district paying a total of $1,165.25."

StrongSwan

strongSwan is a multiplatform IPsec implementation. The focus of the project is on authentication mechanisms using X.509 public key certificates and optional storage of private keys and certificates on smartcards through a PKCS#11 interface and on TPM 2.0.

Overview
The project is maintained by Andreas Steffen who is a professor emeritus for Security in Communications with the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil, Switzerland.

As a descendant of the FreeS/WAN project, strongSwan continues to be released under the GPL license. It supports certificate revocation lists and the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). A unique feature is the use of X.509 attribute certificates to implement access control schemes based on group memberships. StrongSwan interoperates with other IPsec implementations, including various Microsoft Windows and macOS VPN clients. The current version of strongSwan fully implements the Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) protocol defined by RFC 7296.

Features
strongSwan supports IKEv1 and fully implements IKEv2.

IKEv1 and IKEv2 features

 * strongSwan offers plugins, enhancing its functionality. The user can choose among three crypto libraries (legacy [non-US] FreeS/WAN, OpenSSL, and gcrypt).
 * Using the openssl plugin, strongSwan supports Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECDH groups and ECDSA certificates and signatures) both for IKEv2 and IKEv1, so that interoperability with Microsoft's Suite B implementation on Vista, Win 7, Server 2008, etc. is possible.
 * Automatic assignment of virtual IP addresses to VPN clients from one or several address pools using either the IKEv1 ModeConfig or IKEv2 Configuration payload. The pools are either volatile (i.e. RAM-based) or stored in a SQLite or MySQL database (with configurable lease-times).
 * The ipsec pool command line utility allows the management of IP address pools and configuration attributes like internal DNS and NBNS servers.

IKEv2 only features

 * The IKEv2 daemon is inherently multi-threaded (16 threads by default).
 * The IKEv2 daemon comes with a High-Availability option based on Cluster IP where currently a cluster of two hosts does active load-sharing and each host can take over the ESP and IKEv2 states without rekeying if the other host fails.
 * The following EAP authentication methods are supported: AKA and SIM including the management of multiple [U]SIM cards, MD5, MSCHAPv2, GTC, TLS, TTLS. EAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication based on user passwords and EAP-TLS with user certificates are interoperable with the Windows 7 Agile VPN Client.
 * The EAP-RADIUS plugin relays EAP packets to one or multiple AAA servers (e.g. FreeRADIUS or Active Directory).
 * Support of RFC 5998 EAP-Only Authentication in conjunction with strong mutual authentication methods like e.g. EAP-TLS.
 * Support of RFC 4739 IKEv2 Multiple Authentication Exchanges.
 * Support of RFC 5685 IKEv2 Redirection.
 * Support of the RFC 4555 Mobility and Multihoming Protocol (MOBIKE) which allows dynamic changes of the IP address and/or network interface without IKEv2 rekeying. MOBIKE is also supported by the Windows 7 Agile VPN Client.
 * The strongSwan IKEv2 NetworkManager applet supports EAP, X.509 certificate and PKCS#11 smartcard based authentication. Assigned DNS servers are automatically installed and removed again in /etc/resolv.conf.
 * Support of Trusted Network Connect (TNC). A strongSwan VPN client can act as a TNC client and a strongSwan VPN gateway as a Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) and optionally as a co-located TNC server. The following TCG interfaces are supported: IF-IMC 1.2, IF-IMV 1.2, IF-PEP 1.1, IF-TNCCS 1.1, IF-TNCCS 2.0 (RFC 5793 PB-TNC), IF-M 1.0 (RFC 5792 PA-TNC), and IF-MAP 2.0.
 * The IKEv2 daemon has been fully ported to the Android operating system including integration into the Android VPN applet. It has also been ported to the Maemo, FreeBSD and macOS operating systems.

KVM simulation environment
The focus of the strongSwan project lies on strong authentication by means of X.509 certificates, as well as the optional safe storage of private keys on smart cards using the standardized PKCS#11 interface, strongSwan certificate check lists and On-line Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP).

An important capability is the use of X.509 Certificate Attributes, which permits it to utilize complex access control mechanisms on the basis of group memberships.

strongSwan comes with a simulation environment based on KVM. A network of eight virtual hosts allows the user to enact a multitude of site-to-site and roadwarrior VPN scenarios.

Talk:Plantar wart

Greater celandine

 * This is why Wikipedia is such a bunch of c**k, I edited for ages and got sick of the core policies dogma, Greater Celandine works, just try it, ok I don't have a PhD but it kicks the shit out of warts of all types, but this is not verifiable unless you go out there and try it!

Tea-tree oil
I don't have access to the journal of essential oil research, so I'm unable to verify this claim.

This Nov 2008 article reports successful treatment of common warts on the hand. The study is on a single patient and there are no controls, so any conclusions should probably be treated with caution. Furthermore, there is no evidence for treating plantar warts.

With only this evidence any claims about tea tree oil as a treatment for plantar warts is unverified or constitutes original research. pgr94 (talk) 20:42, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I'd say it's a problem regards WP:MEDRS. Pubmed does not index, it'd be nice to see an impact factor, but really to claim it as effective, it needs a more reliable source.  WLU (t) (c) (rules -  simple rules) 21:32, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The journal's pre-2003 issues don't seem to be available through online journal databases. The article is available on request from AGRIS, though. — {admin} Pathoschild 23:23:12, 08 November 2008 (UTC)

It may sound gross and I guess it stems from an old wive's tale but urine does an excellent job at removing planters warts very quickly. Peeing while in a hot shower and swishing the affected part of the foot has caused my warts in the past to fall out often right after or during the shower. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.52.166 (talk) 07:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I had a big one on my index toe with a small cluster around it in highschool for several years, trying all kinds of topical treatments to no avail, and one day before gym class I was in the locker room changing socks, with my left foot resting on my right knee as I was sitting, and my usual bully came up and slammed the foot off the knee with a punch (hammer fist), and it hit the floor pretty hard, and suddenly there's blood everywhere coming from a pea-sized hole in my toe where the wart had been. The blood was just gushing out like crazy, freaking everyone out, but it eventually healed and never came back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.212.157 (talk) 04:57, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

silver nitrate
Have added silver nitrate as an obvious solution. It is a simple caustic crystal that burns away the wart (and everything else if you are not careful). Still available over the counter in many places, but be careful with it. Much less painful than cryo-cures or real heat cauterisers. 100% successful in my case, if you give it two or three applications. Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoogson (talk • contribs) 10:33, 11 October 2010

 * Sinobot -  if you want to delete something, please have the common decency to explain why.  The silver nitrate cure is referenced in the warts section, so if you want to delete siver nitrate please be consistent and delete it from warts too.  And then explain why. Hoogson (talk) 16:44, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Pgr94 (not SineBot) removed your changes, because you didn't provide any citations to support them. You can read about acceptable citations at Identifying reliable sources (medicine). — Pathoschild 17:26:29, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * The source is Wiki, as I explained. Or do you not recognise Wiki as a source? Hoogson (talk) 19:04, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately wikis are not reliable sources. Wikipedia is a tertiary source, which means it collects information published in reliable documents such as scientific journals. Looking through the history of Wart, that information was [ added anonymously in 2005] with no citation at all. — Pathoschild 19:24:53, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I think every nurse and grandmother knows about silver nitrate, it hardly needs sourcing. And why not delete the sentence here that says "A plantar wart is a small lesion that appears on the sole of the foot and typically resembles a cauliflower" - with not a reference in sight for this spurious claim.  Can I delete this paragraph?  Now if you really want something speculative, how about that last link that says the best cure is duct-tape.  Now that is speculative (but apparently effective.). Hoogson (talk) 08:17, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello Hoogson, If silver nitrate is so well-known then it should appear in the scientific literature, either in journal articles or in textbooks. You should have no trouble finding a reliable source.  If it is a folk remedy that is not backed by science then it is not appropriate in Wikipedia.  The relevant Wikipedia guidelines are WP:MEDRS.  Hope that helps.  pgr94 (talk) 09:23, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Seconded. The article reads like some kind of sermon against the evils of shoes. In multiple locations it recommends going barefoot as much as possible when the obvious course of action is to AVOID being barefoot in places other people have been barefoot. It's as if the influenza article told you to "be sure and drink plenty of orange juice before kissing random strangers in winter." 24.252.195.13 (talk) 19:58, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

My family doctor recommended taking Tagamet (Cimetidine) for 4-6 weeks to relieve symptoms (pain, discomfort, etc.) associated with Plantar Warts. I have found this treatment to be effective, not only for Plantar Wart symptoms, but also for canker sores associated with citric fruit consumption (tomatoes, pineapple, strawberries, etc.). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.249.47.204 (talk) 22:12, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Common treatments
I had earlier in my life warts. I got this medical treatments: Bromoacetic acid applied on top, painfull sometimes, only to some degree successfull. I had one cut of at my wrist after it was fozen with some liquid that gets very cold when applied to skin, but I do not remember what it was. After the cuttig, the whole was treated with silver nitrate, it burned like hell. But I got lots of small ones around the cutting line after that. Then an old woman showed me Chelidonium. I found the plant growing on my way to school so I had a daily chance to use it. Just rip off a part and apply the yellow juce on top of the warts. Make sure that everything is covered and leave it alone for some days, dont scratch or wash it off. You may cover it with an adhesive bandage to prevent the stuff coloring your clothes or shoes or to hide it. After one week you can wash and rub it off and apply some new juice. I found out it works well, is absolutely free and does not hurt or bleed. It also does not affect the skin permanently, ist just colours the surface yellow which will disappear some weeks after finishing the treatment. I do not know if extracts or dried plants work the same way, so stick on the juice if you can. Now this treatment takes some weeks but I found it was the most effective way. By surgical removal there is blood which can infect other parts of the skin and does not prevent reappearance. Chelidonia leaves the skin undamaged, but it somehow activates the cornification of the warts so they will cornificate faster. The growth-rate of the wart is slower than the cornification rate, so it will reduce the size, till it disappears. Small ones disappear fast, bigger ones take longer but they reduce in size. I recommended this treatment to several people and none came back to tell me it did not work. So I recommend it to everybody, because it does not do any damage. If it grows still and does not reduce, it might be not a wart but a skin cancer or something else, so see a doctor immediately.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 20:31, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Do the math...?
From the article ~"Infection occurs in an estimated 7–10% of the US population. In a 1949 survey of 3,906 mainland Chinese and 1,222 Indians who had never worn shoes, plantar warts were reported in 0.29% of subjects. [3] While lower than rates in the US, this alone ...."~

7-10% is represented as .07 -.10. Therefore .29% is NOT lower but 2-3 times HIGHER! Needs a rewrite as this contradicts the reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sir wolf2001 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * No, it really is 0.29%, not 0.29 (fraction of 1). The actual figure was 15 cases of warts out of 5128 people. --Graminophile (talk) 10:35, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Merge with Myrmecia
It has been proposed that Myrmecia (skin) be merged into Plantar wart.
 * Support, they are synonyms. --Lambiam 12:06, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

100,000 Gurkha's in Indian Army? That seems too high. What is the source for this data. --DuKot 05:13, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

See Global Security - as far as I can determine, there have been no appreciable cuts to the Indian Army in the last 15 years; there are certainly still over 40 battalions of Gurkhas in the infantry, and there would also certainly still be Gurkhas in the various support arms (as there are in the British Army). Given the size of the Indian Army (over 1,000,000), I think that 10% of its strength as Gurkhas is a reasonable estimate. Hammersfan 11:10, 4 September 2005

Template talk:Cfr

This template is a self-reference.

Text change
I think that the text should be changed to make it clearer that the proposal is for renaming not deletion. At the moment, the template says

 This category is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's Categories for Deletion policies. Additionally, it has been suggested that the pages and subcategories within this category be moved to Category:. Please share your thoughts on the matter at this category's entry on the Categories for Deletion page. Please do not empty the category or remove this notice while the discussion is in progress. How to list a category for renaming ([ log])

The problem is the big bold text at the start with the word deletion. I propose a change to

 This category is being considered for renaming to in accordance with Wikipedia's Categories for Deletion policies. Please share your thoughts on the matter at this category's entry on the Categories for Deletion page. Please do not empty the category or remove this notice while the discussion is in progress. How to list a category for renaming ([ log])

This is based on cfru and cfm. Any objections? SeventyThree(Talk) 16:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The reason it was changed to the current wording was because sometimes debates end with a consensus to delete the category all together, and this should be reflected in the template. Tim! 16:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree strongly that the current "This category is being considered for deletion" is extremely misleading. I understand that the process is technically deleting plus creation of a new category plus moving all contents into the new category.  But couldn't the message say something like that?  Such as, "This category is being considered for renaming… .  However, there may be a consensus to delete…."—Markles 17:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * "Renaming" is equally (if not more) misleading, as it is not possible to use the "move page" feature on a category. You have to delete it, and re-create it at a different title. Also there are cases where the contents of one category are "merged", i.e. the links to the deleted category are replaced with a different category that already exists. The new wording accurately reflects the procedure in those cases as well. — May. 19, '06 [19:27] < [ freak]|[ talk] >

 * I don't think the lack of a 'move' feature should affect the wording of the template. That's a technical issue, and we have a fudge to get around it. To the people who use the category, all the articles move into a different category which is the same as the old category except for the name. In effect, the category has been renamed.
 * The wording at the moment ("considered for renaming or deletion") is fairly good. Some categories up for deletion end up getting renamed or merged, so maybe we should change the text on the other templates as well?
 * Another option, to keep the templates different, could be "There is a proposal to rename this category to in accordance with Wikipedia's Categories for Deletion policies." This is more accurate, And it doesn't restrict the outcome at all (merging/moving to an article/userfying etc.). On the other hand, it doesn't mention any other outcomes, so people might assume that the category is safe. Can somebody improve on this? If not, I'm fairly happy with the current text. SeventyThree(Talk) 18:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Would anybody complain if I just merged the words of this and similar templates into the main Template:Cfd? Since, in practice, anything can happen, why not just have one template reflecting that. — May. 24, '06  [07:18] < [ freak]|[ talk] >

 * Yes, too hard to document. I did merge cfru, as the new parserfunctions made it easier.
 * --William Allen Simpson 10:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

"Subst:" error message
The error message for not "subst:"ing the template is incorrect. It currently refers to "Cfd" rather than "Cfr". Please edit " " to read "". This is a simple fix, but the template is locked. Thanks. — Chidom   talk   22:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 21 May 2016
In my latest sandbox version, I made the template more tolerant in regard to a prepended "Category:" namespace in the parameter. The current technique appends the current (!) namespace as a prefix, which in these cases leads to a duplicated namespace, see for example Category:Electric power transmission systems in Asia. The Testcases show how the current technique also produces an artifact on non-category namespaces, which however isn't all too relevant, as the template is only expected to be used in the Category namespace. The same testcases however also show that my improved version corrects the overall problem.

I need help listing two similar categories I want to nominate for re-naming...
OK, so I need help with listing two categories I want to nominate for re-naming. They are Category:DuMont News & Category:DuMont Sports. I want to nominate those two for re-naming because the DuMont Television Network never actually had news or sports divisions, even though it did broadcast news & sports programming. Now, I've read the instructions on the template page for how to post the notification for nominating similar categories for re-naming, but I'm not sure I completely understand how to do the notification for two similar categories. If someone could show me the wording that needs to be used for nominating two similar categories, I'd really appreciate it. 76.235.248.101 (talk) 02:15, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Vinalia

A reference to Ovid's Fasti Book IV would be appropriate here, as for any entry covering a Roman festival:
 * "Why then, you ask, is the Vinalia Venus’ festival?
 * And why does this day belong to Jupiter?"

Etc. Ovid dates the Vinalia to April 23 --Wetman 05:14, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

-Very informative!

Peer Review
Interesting article that ties in many aspects of Roman Civilization. I realized I should've done a festival rather than a place. Most of my comments are purely stylistic.

Remove "Vinalia" from the beginning.

"the Vinalia urbana or priora, and the Vinalia rustica or altera"  - Confusing sounding, I would suggesting putting the second names in parentheses--"Vinalia urbana (or Vinalia priora)"--or at the end of the sentence, i.e., "the Vinalia urbana and the Vinalia rustica, also known as the Vinalia priora and Vinalia altera, respectively." Also, is "urbana" and "rustica" capitalized?

"The Vinalia urbana was celebrated on April 23rd while the Vinalia rustica was celebrated on August 19th." - This is an obvious contradiction with what was previously on the Wiki page (I'm not saying you're wrong), but it might be useful to work the source directly into the sentence, so that readers will more readily accept what you are saying, i.e., "Joe writes in Joe's Book of these celebrations, which were..."

" Each Vinalia celebration featured a ritualistic dedication ..." - "Both celebrations" ; I don't know what 'ritualistic dedication' means.

"For the Romans, the Vinalia celebrations were one of the three most important Roman vintage holidays." - Add 'the' ; What does 'vintage holiday' mean?

"Jupiter himself was worshipped of the Ides of every month ,and the two Vinalia as well." - on the Ides? ; Phrasing, this sentence is saying that Jupiter and the two Vinalia were worshipped on the Ides of every month.

"Ovid makes this huge connection with the goddess of the garden and wine (Venus)." - What connection? That Venus should be part of this celebration? Or that she is the Goddess of wine and the garden? Or what you say in the next sentence?

"The Vinalia urbana was celebrated on April 23rd is honor of the previous year’s wine harvest, thereby, providing a ready made ..." - Replace crossed out words with 'in' ; Add 'the' ; Remove the comma after 'thereby'

'''"In the early days of the festival, early Romans ..." -''' Dates of when "early days" refers to? ; Remove the second 'early.'

'''"However, as time progresses Venus came to ..." -''' Dates? This sentence (and the previous sent.) begins a new section of this topic, and would be best with a new paragraph. I would also considering moving the previous references to Venus to this paragraph.

" The second of the two Vinalia festivals, rustic Vinalia, which occurred August 19th was celebrated by the inhabitants of all Latium (Italy). " - Replace first strikeout with "However," ; Latium is not all of Italy, so correct the parenthetical statement. Perhaps "... of all Latium, the region of central Italy."

'"This ritual is somewhat similar'' to that of the Vinalia urbana, it was originally sacred for Jupiter, and later was conducted at the Venus temples in honor of the goddess of the garden ." -''' Ritual or festival? ; Remove the word 'somewhat' and be more descriptive to how it is similar, the conluding phrases does not describe such ; Remove the comma after 'Jupiter' ; Replace the end with "in her honor."

'"On this occasion, the Flamen Dialis (Jupiter priest) offered lambs to Jupiter on the altar while he broke a bunch of grapes from a vine'' with his own hands." -''' Rephrase the italicized part.

"Due to the intense drinking and loss of control as a result, upper-class Roman women were supervised during this festival and sometimes given lower alcoholic content beverages. " - I would either remove this sent. or put it at the end. It doesn't really tie into anything else you've said. Or work in more on what goes on during the ritual, so that stating that drunken insanity occurs makes more sense and does not come as such a surprise to the reader.

'"A well-documented'' account for the origins and rise to the celebration of the festival is given by Festus." -'''Hyphen : well-documented

Hope this helps. -- Aaron Lee -- Differentialpi 21:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

hey chuck nice article

- I like the organization. It really makes the piece easier to follow. - One question I had was why was their a shift in focus from Jupiter to Venus?

- You might want to use bullet points for your bibliography, but thats not too importnant

- As a whole it was very informative and right to the point

It seems nobody has been willing to edit the article in order to eliminate the contradictions about the dates of these festivals. Ovid too should be duely cited.Aldrasto (talk) 09:17, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Dear MI grug,

Welcome aboard. Your new article on Football (soccer) in Tasmania goes to show how quickly collaboration can move an article forward!

Cheers, --Daveb 05:14, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi again MI grug,

Thanks for your work with football related articles. A couple of suggestions:
 * The Wikipedia Manual of Style is a very useful guide on how to format articles and is well worth a read. Some key points include:
 * Bold the title term in the introductory link, but do not wikilink any of these bolded terms
 * Be careful with capitalisation: save proper nouns, few words should be capitalised.
 * For the international audience Wikipedia has, the dual terminology football (soccer) is usually used at first, with just football used thereafter

Image Tagging Image:Utaslogo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Utaslogo.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Fair use rationale for Image:Melbourneknights.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Melbourneknights.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Talk:Blue Mage

Doesn't Gau (Final Fantasy VI) fit this description? Should he be mentioned in this article? --AlexChurchill 11:48, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No, Gau is not a blue mage. Blue mages learn specific enemy attacks, which can be used as if they were normal magic spells. Strago is the blue mage in Final Fantasy VI. Gau's "Feral Child" class is pretty much unique, though it incorporates more of Final Fantasy V's "Trainer" class than it does "Blue Mage." – Seancdaug 17:30, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

You're almost close, Seancdaug. Gau is more like a Morpher, like in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. He gains the same abilities and weaknesses as the monster he's morphed as, but he doesn't retain their looks. --LuvLuv_G2000 4:58pm, December 21st, 2006 (UTC)

Okay, so how about Mega Man? Might he have been the original Blue Mage?
 * How?
 * It's a joke... but Mega Man did gain powers by defeating his enemies and absorbing them... it just has zilch to do with Final Fantasy. Same with Kirby.

Blue Magic
What's the deal with the Blue Magic section? It seems very useless if it's going to list every spell ever. And if it is going to list every blue magic spell, then FFXI spells would need to be there, and BLUs have TONS of spells in that game, plus it's ever-expandable. PLUS, this section seems very un-Wikipedian.

Apocalypse of Abraham

The Apocalypse of Abraham is an apocalyptic Jewish pseudepigrapha (a text whose claimed authorship is uncertain) based on biblical Abraham narratives. It was probably composed in the first or second century, between 70–150 CE.

It has survived only in Old Slavonic recensions. It is not regarded as scripture by Jews or Christians, but it was a scripture for the now-extinct Bogomil sect.

Manuscript tradition
The text of the Apocalypse of Abraham has been preserved only in Slavonic; it occurs in the Tolkovaja Paleja (or Explanatory Paleja, a Medieval compendium of various ancient Jewish texts and comments that also preserved the Ladder of Jacob). The original language of this text was almost certainly Hebrew: it was translated into Slavonic either directly from Hebrew or from a lost intermediate Greek translation. The whole text survives in six manuscripts usually gathered in two families: the main manuscript of the first family is referred to as S edited by Tixonravov in 1863, while the main manuscripts of the other family, which preserve the text integrated in other material of the Tolkovaja Paleja, are referred to as A, B and K.

The first English translation was produced by E.H. Anderson and R.T. Haag, and appeared in 1898 in the Latter-day Saint magazine Improvement Era, under the title The Book of the Revelation of Abraham. Another notable English translation was produced by G.H. Box and J.I. Landsman some twenty years later.

Date
The Apocalypse of Abraham is typically dated between 70 and 150. The text must post-date 70 due to its knowledge of the destruction of the temple in 70 AD most prominently in the twenty-seventh chapter.

Relative to other literature, the Apocalypse appears to postdate the Book of Jubilees, but it is also known to the author and was quoted by the author of the Clementine Recognitions i. 32–33, a text composed in the mid-fourth century and acting as the earliest extant source that can be reliably said to have known of the Apocalypse. For this reason and in comparison with other apocalyptic texts, the text in its current form is usually considered to be written before 150 (or generally, the middle of the second century). Within the usually accepted range of 70–150 AD, several scholars have posited dates that come soon after the destruction of the temple.

The text contains some suspected interpolations of Bogomil origin, principally 20:5.7, 22:5, 9:7, and 23:4-10 according to Rubinkiewicz, though this position has been disputed by Sacchi.

Section 1 (chapters 1 to 8)
The first eight chapters of the book are introductory in nature. Abraham's younger life is set out. This contains an account of Abraham's conversion from polytheism to monotheism, quite apart from the apocalypse which follows. The work is notable for its didactic presentation of the ills of idolatry.
 * The text opens with a description of Abraham helping his father Terah, who is a maker of idols. Abraham's doubts about idol-worship are awakened by accidents that break the stone image of Merumath, and five other idols, that Abraham was supposed to sell. Pondering over this, he remonstrates with his father concerning such idols, inciting Terah's anger. Abraham tests further the powers of the idols by placing a wooden statue of Barisat near the fire, and telling the idol to take care of the fire. On returning, he finds Barisat burnt. He again strongly explains to his father the uselessness of such idols, but without results (chapters 1–6).
 * The fire, the water, the earth, and the heavenly bodies are shown to be more worthy than the idols, although each one of these elements is subject to another force, so none of them can claim to be God (chapter 7, perhaps a later addition).
 * Abraham is still considering his father's answer, when he hears a voice from heaven asking him to leave his father's house. He has scarcely left when a fire descends and burns Terah's house (chapter 8).

Section 2 (chapters 9 to 14)
The apocalyptic section begins with Abraham's sacrifice to God, expanding and modifying the Biblical narrative of :
 * The voice of God orders Abraham to prepare a sacrifice on the high mountain (Mount Horeb) where he will receive a revelation. Abraham is asked to prepare for forty days for the event. The angel Yahoel is sent to Abraham, terrified of the experience, to guide him and to teach him how to perform the sacrifice. Yahoel introduces himself as a being "whose name is like unto that of God Himself", followed by a long introduction of his duties (chapters 9–11).
 * On Mount Horeb, under the guidance of Yahoel, and assisted by many other angels, Abraham offers up his sacrifice, but not without being disturbed by Azazel, the fallen archangel and seducer of mankind. Azazel, in the form of an unclean bird, swoops down upon the carcasses, and, speaking with a human voice, tries to persuade Abraham to leave the holy place. Abraham is not seduced and Yahoel fights off Azazel. Yahoel then adds that the celestial garments, originally set aside for Azazel, now belong to Abraham (chapters 11–14).

Section 3 (chapters 15 to 32)
The third part of the Apocalypse of Abraham narrates the ascension of Abraham to heaven:
 * Abraham and Yahoel, borne by a dove, ascend to the heavens; they see a great light and a great crowd in the likeness of men that are changing in aspect, running, prostrating, and crying aloud, and a fire comes toward them. They kneel down and worship the fire and a divine voice is heard, as the sound of rushing waters. Yahoel teaches Abraham a hymn of praise to sing, by which they ask the Lord to accept their prayer and the sacrifice made by the Lord himself. When they reach the seventh heaven, Abraham sees a classic example of Merkabah: the throne of God (but he does not see God), the four Living Beings with aspects of man, lion, ox, and eagle, and the many-eyed wheels. Yahoel has the task of mitigating the rivalry among the Living Beings (chapters 15–18).
 * Abraham is shown by God everything that exists in the heavens: the angels, the celestial bodies, and the earth, and everything that is moving upon it. He sees also the Leviathan and its possessions in the nethermost waters, the rivers and their origin, and the Garden of Eden. He realizes it is the whole creation as designed by God before God decreed it to exist (chapters 19–22).
 * He sees the scene of the Fall: Adam and Eve as huge figures who are beguiled to commit sin by Azazel through his causing them to eat from the forbidden fruit (here said to be a grape from the vine). Abraham asks God why he would allow man to be corrupted by Azazel, and God replies that those who do evil have chosen to do so – which is hated by God – and they have been given over to Azazel. Abraham then asks God why has he allowed that evil should be desired in the hearts of men (chapter 23).
 * God tells Abraham that he has allowed man to desire evil because he is angered by the treatment on Earth of Abraham's descendants as God's chosen people, and instructs Abraham to look again at the scene before him to see the judgment of man. He sees Cain and the "slaughtered Abel, (and) the destruction brought and caused upon him through the lawless one." He sees Impurity, Theft, and Desire as personified sins, and the destruction wrought by each (chapter 24).
 * Abraham then sees a scene of idolatry with boys being slaughtered, and God explains that it is his Temple and his priesthood full of his anger against the people who came out from Abraham. A vision of the destruction of the Temple follows, and it is explained to Abraham that this is due to the sin of idolatry on the part of his seed, but the coming of men who will take care of his seed is also predicted (chapters 25–27).
 * Answering how long the judgment lasts, God reveals a description of the End Times: the Age is said to be divided into twelve parts; a character known simply as “a man” will appear from the pagan side, worshipped by many pagans, Jews, and by Azazel, and insulted and beaten by other Jews; ten plagues will occur; and finally, at the sound of the trumpet, the Chosen One (the Messiah) will be sent to fight the enemies, and the judgment will pass upon the heathen and the wicked. The book is closed by a short promise of the chosen people's deliverance from oppression (chapters 28–32).

Yahoel
Yahoel (or Iaoel) in the Apocalypse of Abraham is the mighty angel sent to guide Abraham. Yahoel introduces himself as a being possessed of the power of the Ineffable Name "whose name is like unto that of God Himself". As the angel nearer to God, or perhaps as a manifestation of the power of God himself, Yahoel is said to be also the heavenly choirmaster, the one who teaches the angels their hymn, who has the control over "the threats and attacks of the reptiles", the angel with the chief task of protecting and watching over Israel. These functions were traditionally ascribed to Michael and mark the gradual transformation of Michael, originally the guardian angel of Israel, into Meṭaṭron. Yahoel's body is depicted as being like sapphire, his face like chrysolite, his hair like snow, his turban like the appearance of the rainbow, and his garments as purple, with a golden sceptre is in his right hand. Iaoel and Yahoel have been used also as alternate names for Metatron.

Azazel
In the Apocalypse of Abraham, Azazel is portrayed as an unclean bird which comes down upon the sacrifice which Abraham, the Biblical patriarch, has prepared. This is in reference to Genesis 15:11, "Birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away".

 * And the unclean bird spoke to me and said, "What are you doing, Abraham, on the holy heights, where no one eats or drinks, nor is there upon them food for men. But these all will be consumed by fire and ascend to the height, they will destroy you." And it came to pass when I saw the bird speaking I said this to the angel: "What is this, my lord?" And he said, "This is disgrace, this is Azazel!" And he said to him, "Shame on you Azazel! For Abraham's portion is in heaven, and yours is on earth, for you have selected here, (and) become enamored of the dwelling place of your blemish. Therefore the Eternal Ruler, the Mighty One, has given you a dwelling on earth. Through you the all-evil spirit [is] a liar, and through you (are) wrath and trials on the generations of men who live impiously." – Apocalypse of Abraham 13:4–9

The Apocalypse of Abraham also associates Azazel with Hell. Abraham says to him, "May you be the firebrand of the furnace of the earth! Go, Azazel, into the untrodden parts of the earth. For your heritage is over those who are with you" (14:5–6). There is also the idea that God's heritage (the created world) is largely under the dominion of evil. It is "shared with Azazel" (20:5). Azazel is also identified with the serpent which tempted Eve. His form is described as a dragon with "hands and feet like a man's, on his back six wings on the right and six on the left." (23:7)

"A man" in Chapter 29
The Apocalypse of Abraham is concerned with the future of the Jewish nation, Israel. In Chapter 29, an ambiguous character known simply as "a man" appears. In later Christian interpretation, he is usually equated with an Antichrist, the "man of sin". The text tells us that some worship this man, while others revile him. He is worshiped even by Azazel. Apparently, the man has the task of offering some kind of remission for the heathens in the end of days.

According to Jacob Licht (Professor of Biblical Studies, Tel-Aviv University), this work is a Jewish text, although not one that represents mainstream rabbinic Jewish thought. Licht writes:

 * The most obvious and perhaps the correct explanation of this passage is to declare it a late Christian interpolation, yet "the man" does not fit the medieval Christian concept of Jesus. His function is not clearly messianic. This problematic passage therefore may have originated in some Judeo-Christian sect, which saw Jesus as precursor of the Messiah, or it may be Jewish, badly rewritten by an early Christian editor. Perhaps it reflects a Jewish view of Jesus as an apostle to the heathen, an explanation which would make it unique, and indeed startling.

Rabbinic texts
The Apocalypse has a large number of close parallels with traditions that appear in the rabbinic literature. Although it is not clear if direct influence is present, it is considered that the rabbinic authors and the Apocalypse were operating in a shared interpretive framework/culture.

Bogomils
The Bogomil sect in Bulgaria made use of Slavonic texts of the Apocalypse of Abraham, the Secrets of Enoch and the Ascension of Isaiah. It is likely that the Apocalypse entered into Bulgarian tradition from Byzantium, whose Christians were copying and preserving pseudepigraphic works (like the Apocalypse) which were no longer associated with heresy and where Christian scholars believed that one could, with discernment, separate correct from corrupted material.

Latter-day Saints
In August 1898, the first portion of an English translation of the Apocalypse of Abraham (which had been made from an earlier German translation) was published, under the title The Book of the Revelation of Abraham, in the LDS Church periodical Improvement Era. The editor's note highlighted parallels with the Mormon Book of Abraham (canonised as part of the Pearl of Great Price), including the idolatry of Terah and the premortal existence of spirits. The remainder of the translation was published the following month.

Subsequent work by Mormon apologists has also drawn attention to parallels which the Apocalypse of Abraham shows with the Visions of Moses account canonised by the LDS Church as chapter 1 of the Selections from the Book of Moses within the aforementioned Pearl of Great Price, although such arguments have come under criticism for presenting resemblance to works of pseudepigrapha as evidence in favour of a text's authenticity.

Merge
As per discussion at the Jobs sub-project of WPFF, this article will be merged into Final Fantasy character classes unless there is convincing argument to be made that it's notable enough for its own article. Most of the information on this page could be merged into the individual games' pages as well as the main character classes article. Please comment here or at the talk page for the project. -RaCha'ar 21:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. The article itself has some information (abilities, modifiers, etc) that does not fit Wikipedia (no advice, suggestions, tutorials, guides, manuals per 8th information policy). That information can be moved to a Wikibook (or to StrategyWiki – I haven't contributed there, although I was suggested to use it).. -- ReyBrujo 00:06, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that the merge template was removed with the comment that this should be expanded to include geomancers in other games. That would be better suited to Geomancer (character class), not to this article.  If someone wants to create that page with mentions of other geomancers I will be sure that this page redirects to the Geomancer's mention on Final Fantasy character classes.  Until then I'm making this a candidate for merge again. -RaCha'ar 18:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Red Wizard section
It's quite funny that two whole paragraphs about D&D ends with the line

"The Red Wizards of Thay have not ever actually been called "Red Mages"."

I suggest replacing it with either a single line, or something about D&D bards. --Made2Fade 22:25, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Some of the info could actually be incorporated into the Red Wizards page. But here, a single line pointing to the main article really is enough. I don’t see what D&D bards have to do with Red Mages, though.
 * TowerDragon 00:33, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It's been fixed.
 * --LuvLuv G2000 08:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Accounts of Kuja and Lani being Red Mages
Let's first get this straight. Kuja and Lani are  NOT  Red Mages. Lani may know Fira/Blizzara/Thundara/Protect/Shell, but she is a  BOUNTY HUNTER . Yes, she in a way uses magic like a Red Mage, but unless the game itself mentioned it, she is still just a magic-using Bounty Hunter. As for Kuja.....Yeah, he may know Flare/Holy/Curaga, but he also knows Flare Star (which in Final Fantasy VI, when Gau uses it, is known as BLUE Magic). Consider this also: Kuja stole Bahamut from Brahne via the Invincible, then Summoned him on Alexandria. Red Mages cannot use Blue Magic, nor can they Summon, unless they have learned it seperately. Furthermore, I have edited the Final Fantasy IX section of Red Mages. LuvLuv_G2000 05:38, 15 January 2007

Final Fantasy I
The statement that in Final Fantasy I, Red Mages "were extremely overpowered compared to the other characters because of their ability to heal themselves and deliver decent melee damage, making them the best class" might appear to be be true for someone who never surpassed Level 5. Once you hit medium levels, the Red Mage, blessed with a brilliant mix of weak attacks and weak spells, was easily the worst character class in the game. Hooray for diversity! Ess_Tii_Eph_Yu 5:03, 18 October 2006
 * What statement? I shall fix it if it says this, but I disagree that Red Mages/Wizards are overly powerful. Instead, they are well rounded. They're  NOT  the most useless, but Black Belt/Master is. Why I find them very useful is because say you want a certain Black/White Spell for your other two mages but seem there's not enough space. You give it to the Red Magic user if the spell is learnable. I found them most helpful when I was casting Healaga almost all the time, and used the class to cast Protera and Invisira, as well as Haste/Temper. See where the usefulness is? You don't really need to have them know EVERY spell. It just wouldn't make them a Red Magic user but a Sage. Stop posting a biased report and start getting your information correct by exploring your game further.
 * LuvLuv_G2000 3:38, 15 January 2007
 * The irony here is so thick I could cut it with a knife. Perhaps before you call the Blackbelt useless you could experiment with having him fight without armor or weapons. Shhh!! It's a seekrit. Gene S. Poole  02:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Terra/Celes/Mystic Knight section
While Celes and Terra learn magic on their own, it still doesn't qualify them as Red Mages/Wizards because everyone else can learn the same stuff if you choose it. So, there weren't really any "Red Magic Users" in Final Fantasy VI. Same goes for comparing a Mystic Knight to a Red Mage. All Mystic Knights do is infuse the spell into their weapons, not actually cast it on the foe. However, if someone were to be either Mystic Knight or Red Mage for the base Job Class and have the opposite's command ability, that's where it would make sense in having them help each other out.

FF or General article?
This article seems to have a fairly general title and some minor aspects in it's content point in a general direction. The vast majority of the content though is very FF centric. I would propose to rename it to Thief (Final Fantasy Character Class) or similar and let a more general article take the place of Thief (character class).

 * Indeed, this is a general class article, not a Final Fantasy article. The FF info was actually quite sparse and already exists in Final Fantasy character classes, therefore it has been removed from here. WikiProject Final Fantasy releases its claim over this article ;) >Gamemaker 14:10, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Thief or assassin
A thief in classic DND and most other game terms uses stealth and deception to part the target from his goods, only killing as a last resort. ( I refer to Oliver Twist`s Dodger for example) The classic game Assassin charactor is a killer for hire a person who gets paid to kill. The term was dropped in DND because the case was made that every charactor is essentialy an assassin. A very poor article with little or no real value as far as gaming definitions go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.177.90 (talk) 04:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

 * The term may have originiated with D&D, but D&D does not hold excluvive rights to the concept of a thief class. Many games use this character archtype. 陣 内 Jinnai 20:27, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Burglar‽
Has there ever been a game where this class was actually denominated burglar? -- Gohnarch░ 06:14, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

==Detailed info and Magic== Added information to the Final Fantasies that had the Job Class appear, as well as added White magic. LuvLuv_G2000 03:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Moved article back.
White Mage was a double redirect, because the page was moved twice, causing incoming links to not work. There's absolutely no need for parentheses- those are only needed when there are two or more articles that want the exact same article. To my knowledge, no other article is entitled White Mage, and even if there was, we could just drop a hatnote on top ("for blah, see this"). SnowFire 02:19, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

(SF: LuvLuv_G2000 deleted my comment, I restored it.)

The heck?! Okay, a bit of Wikipedia courtesy notice. You don't edit or delete other people's comments on the talk page unless it's utterly blatant trolling. You RESPOND instead, and explain why you're doing things, and debate. Anyway. You made a screwed up move that was making links to "White Mage" or people typing that in fail and didn't bother to correct the double redirect, as you are warned to every time you move a page. Now, I don't know, maybe this should be at WM (character class), I'm not an expert- I was just fixing a double redirect problem, and WP style is NOT to use parens unless there's a good reason. But whatever. To just unilaterally move it again bespeaks bad faith. SnowFire 03:07, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

(SF: And once again, LuvLuv deletes the comments!)

Do not do this again. Look at any other talk page on Wikipedia; you'll see all the comments stretching back. You don't get to remove inconvenient comments that disagree with you, and by doing so, you're basically not even attempting to debate. You say "Like I said before, Disambiguation reasons" in your edit summary; so, uh, what other sense of White Mage are you distinguishing the Final Fantasy one from? There isn't even a WP article on "white magic" in a neopagan sense, which is the closest other thing I could imagine. SnowFire 14:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

 * And there's the third removal. Sigh.  Feel free to explain what, exactly, you're doing.  Pretend I'm an idiot (maybe not hard).  What, exactly, do you mean by "disambiguation reasons?"  SnowFire 22:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Meaning it was to stop all unnecessary arguements and have it for Final Fantasy Only. Apparently, Deckiller has shown me that really it's not required, due to there already being a Final Fantasy Wiki. I did not know of this, and well, that's where I shall take my editing now. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
