Jack (given name)

Jack is a given name, a diminutive of John or Jackson; alternatively, it may be derived from Jacques, the French form of James or Jacob. Since the late 20th century, Jack has become one of the most common names for boys in many English-speaking countries. Jack is also used to a lesser extent as a female given name, often as a shortened version of Jacqueline.

The word "jack" is also commonly used in other contexts in English for many occupations, objects and actions, linked to the use of the word as a metaphor for a common man.

Origin
Jack is thought by some to have hailed from the earlier Jackin (from the name Jankin). Alternatively, it may be derived from an anglicisation of Jacques, the French form of the name James or Jacob. There is also a theory that it is Celtic in origin, meaning "healthy, strong, full of vital energy" (compare the Welsh word iach, "health"), from a putative Ancient British Yakkios. Both the name and the word "jack" were long used as a term to refer to any man, especially of the common classes.

Frequency
In several English-speaking countries, Jack has become increasingly used as a formal name, rather than being a mere nickname as it traditionally has been. In its own right, it is now more popular than John, James, and Jacob. In recent years, Jack has been the most common given name for boys in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia, and has grown in popularity in the United States.

John–from which Jack was often derived—was, along with William, the most frequent male name throughout the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century. Jack appeared on the lists of the most frequently used male-baby names in the UK for 2003–2007.

In 2014, Jack was again the most popular name for baby boys in Ireland.

In 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2013, Jack was the most common name given to boys in Australia.

According to the United States Census of 1990, Jack is an uncommon American name, the given name for 0.315% of the male population and 0.001% of the female population. However, the frequency of Jack as a baby name has steadily increased from the 160–170 rank prior to 1991 to a rank of 35 in 2006.

Jock is a common diminutive of the name John in Scotland.

Other uses in English
The name Jack is unusual in the English language for its frequent use as a noun or verb for many common objects and actions, and in many compound words and phrases.

Examples include implements, such as a car jack, knucklebones (the game jacks), or the jack in bowls.

The word is also used in other words and phrases such as: apple jack, hijack, jack of clubs (playing card), jack straw (scarecrow), jack tar (sailor), jack-in-the-box, jack-of-all-trades, Jack the lad, jack o'lantern, jackdaw, jackhammer, jackknife, jackpot, lumberjack, Union Jack, etc.

The history of the word is linked to the name being used as a by-name for a man.

Disambiguation in First Congregational Methodist Church
Hi. I notice you contributed a lot of the content in the First Congregational Methodist Church article. I'm currently repairing links to disambiguation pages, particularly Evangelical, but was unable to determine whether, in the context,
 * The First Congregational Methodist Church is Evangelical in ministry, Low Church in liturgy and takes a conservative stance on social issues.

the word "Evangelical" should link to Evangelicalism or Evangelism. Would you be able to suggest which word you think is best, and/or fix the link yourself? Thanks!

Grundzüge der Mengenlehre

Grundzüge der Mengenlehre (German for "Basics of Set Theory") is a book on set theory written by Felix Hausdorff.

First published in April 1914, Grundzüge der Mengenlehre was the first comprehensive introduction to set theory. Besides the systematic treatment of known results in set theory, the book also contains chapters on measure theory and topology, which were then still considered parts of set theory. Hausdorff presented and developed original material which was later to become the basis for those areas. In 1927 Hausdorff published an extensively revised second edition under the title Mengenlehre (German for "Set Theory"), with many of the topics of the first edition omitted. In 1935 there was a third German edition, which in 1957 was translated by John R. Aumann et al. into English under the title Set Theory.

Chelsea Publishing Company reprinted the German 1914 edition in New York City in German in 1944, 1949, 1965, 1978 and 1991 but never issued an English translation of this first edition (or the 1927 second edition) to date. When the American Mathematical Society took over and set up AMS Chelsea Publishing it published editions in 2005 and 2021.

Castelão (Maranhão)

The Estádio Governador João Castelo, also known as the Castelão, is a multi-purpose stadium inaugurated on March 9, 1975, in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, with a maximum capacity of 40,149 people in a three-tier configuration. The stadium is owned by the Maranhão state Government, and is the home ground of Sampaio Corrêa Futebol Clube, Moto Club and Maranhão. Its formal name honors João Castelo Ribeiro Gonçalves (1937–2016), Maranhão governor from 1979 to 1982.

History
Castelão was completed in 1982 and was inaugurated on February 5 of that year, when the Brazil national team beat the Portugal national team 3–1. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Brazil's Júnior.

The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 97,720, set on September 24. 1998, when Santos beat Sampaio Corrêa 5–1. This Copa CONMEBOL match broke the previously attendance record, which was 95,000 people (Moto Club 3-1 Sampaio Corrêa, played in 1987).

Ubbo Emmius

Ubbo Emmius (5 December 1547 – 9 December 1625) was a German historian and geographer.

Early life
Ubbo Emmius was born on 5 December 1547 in Greetsiel, East Frisia. From the ages of 9 to 18 Emmius studied in a Latin school, before having to leave on the death of his father, a Lutheran preacher. After studying at Rostock, at the age of 30, Emmius took classes in Geneva with Theodorus Beza, a Calvinist who influenced Emmius greatly.

Life
Upon returning to East Friesland in 1579 he took the position of rector in the very school in which he was taught, the college at Norden. He was subsequently sacked by the local court in 1587 because, as a Calvinist, he would not subscribe to the confession of Augsburg. Following this, in 1588, the Calvinist count Johan offered him the position of rector in the Latin school of Leer (later renamed the Ubbo-Emmius-Gymnasium). Whilst remaining in Leer it is known that Emmius had corresponded with many other important people of the time who had fled from Groningen after the area fell into the hands of the Spanish. When Groningen surrendered to Prince Maurits in 1594 those who fled returned and offered Ubbo the position of rector in St Maarten school. When in 1614 the decision was made to form a university, under the guidance of Emmius. As a result, he was chosen as the principal and professor of history and Greek and ultimately became the first rector magnificus of the Academy in which he formed.

Work
Ubbo Emmius made prominent contributions to historiography. His primary works were on the History of the Frisian Territories: his 6 part Rerum Frisicarum historiae decades from 1592 to 1616. In one of his other important works titled the Chronologicum he compared the histories of different nations that used different calendars. Other works include:
 * Opus chronologicum (Groningen, 1619)
 * Vetus Graecia illustrata (Leiden, 1626)
 * Historia temporis nostri, which was first published at Groningen in 1732

An account of his life, written by Nicholas Mulerius, was published, with the lives of other professors of Groningen, at Groningen in 1638.

Death
Ubbo Emmius died on the 9 December 1625 in Groningen; his grave stone reads: "For the immortal memory of the famous and faithful old man Ubbo Emmius, a Frisian from Greetsiel, first rector of the academy, theologist of the pure doctrine, excellent philologist, perfect historian."

Hydrogen peroxide as "generally accepted as safe"
Hi. The way you phrased it, it sounded like it was allright for hydrogen peroxide to be in food. It's allowed to be used in the processing of food and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the finished product must be below a certain (very low) level to be allowed. Maybe that's what you meant. As it stood, your edit would have been misleading. Alex.tan 01:07, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that the page that you created was tagged as a test page and has been or soon may be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Best regards,  Cindy  ( talk to me ) 14:27, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Tiffany Alvord prefix:Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard
I just wanted to touch bases with you on the above deletion notice. The question raised was not presented to the Notability Noticeboard. In your effort to present the question, you actually created an article entitled "Tiffany Alvord prefix:Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard". To answer your question, when considering creating an article about Alvord, we need to establish notability by showing that she has been the subject of significant published, secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. Once that threshold is met, it becomes recognized in accordance with the general notability guidelines. Hope this helps. Best regards,  Cindy  ( talk to me ) 15:02, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Cindy, thanks for letting me know why the page was deleted, and thanks for quickly deleting (fixing) my mistake. I shall feel rather silly and hide my head in public for a few hours and try harder next time.  That said, I did read the links you sent before I posted, and it occurred to me that I may not have been explicit enough with my question.  I shall try again.

Attempt 2 - Social Media Notability Question
If a person is only popular (noteworthy) on a social media site (YouTube and Facebook), and there has been no additional substantial coverage in other media, are they automatically precluded from having a Wikipedia page? The artist I mentioned is not very well known outside of her Facebook and YouTube pages, and she may never be. But the number of people who (a) subscribe to and like her (a touch under a million), and (b) regularly listen to her music (~450 000 - ~9 million) (where ~ is the accounting approximate and not the logical negation) would suggest that she is at least minimally notable.

In summary (I talk a lot in real life too):
 * If a person is only notable on a social media site, is that enough to fulfill Wikipedia's requirements?
 * If yes to the above, what are the numbers that make it acceptable?

Should I move this to the notability questions page? And just to abuse you slightly further, if notability on social media sites only is not sufficient, where would the correct forum to discuss that policy be?

Thanks, Jdoller (talk) 19:18, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Radslav of Kouřim

Radslav (Radslav Zlický, Radislav Kouřimský) was the Duke of Kouřim, who, according to legend, waged war against Duke Wenceslas I of Bohemia. Wenceslas challenged him to a personal duel, but Radslav saw two angels beside Wenceslaus and didn't hurt him. He returned to Kouřim with his army. The story is recorded in the Chronicle of Dalimil. Radslav is a semi-legendary person, maybe the brother of Vok, Slavník's mythic father.

Perth Superdrome

Perth Superdrome, known as HBF Stadium under a commercial naming rights arrangement, is a sports complex in Perth, Western Australia. It is home to the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS). The venue is located in the suburb of Mount Claremont, approximately 8 km west of Perth's central business district.

The complex was opened in 1986. It received its current name through a naming-rights sponsorship deal with the HBF Health Fund in 2014. Although the previous sponsorship with Challenge Bank expired in 2002, the Challenge Stadium name remained in use until 2014.

Facilities include an Olympic-standard aquatic centre with five pools, a diving tower, gymnasium, two arenas, and several basketball courts, as well as a café, childcare centre, sports store, office accommodation and a museum.

The main indoor arena has seating for 4,500 spectators, or for over 5,000 people including standing room. Regular exhibitions and expos are hosted at the venue, as well as national and international sporting events.

History
Between 1987–89 and 2002–12, the Perth Superdrome was the home venue of the Perth Wildcats, who play in the National Basketball League (NBL). The Wildcats played in four NBL Grand Final series at the stadium, in 1987, 2002/03, 2009/10 and 2011/12, with the only championship coming in 2009/10. During Wildcats' games, the venue was referred to as "The Jungle". The Wildcats' final game at the stadium was their 87–86 win over the New Zealand Breakers in Game 2 of the 2011/12 NBL Grand Final series in front of 4,400 fans.

The aquatic centre hosted the FINA World Aquatics Championships in 1991 and 1998. The Australian Swimming Championships were held there in 1993, as well as the national short-course championships in 2001 and 2012.

Beginning in 2008, the stadium served as the main home court for the West Coast Fever, who play in the National Netball League. To the Fever, the stadium is known as "The Cauldron". The Fever moved all their home matches to Perth Arena at the end of the 2018 season.

In 2013, a WAIS High Performance Service Centre commenced construction. It now comprises a strength and conditioning gym, multi-purpose training and testing area, 80 m four lane indoor runway for long jump, sprinting and throwing sports, hydrotherapy and recovery pools, physiology and environmental laboratories, consultation rooms, athlete amenities and office space.

As a music venue
For most of the 2000s, following the closure of the Perth Entertainment Centre, HBF Stadium was the main venue used by major touring artists, both Australian and international, when visiting Perth. Since the opening of Perth Arena in 2012, the number of concerts at HBF Stadium has decreased.

Political affiliation: American Reform Party, and thus I am a member of the radical center. I voted twice for Ross Perot and twice for Ralph Nader.

Churches I have attended:

 * Saint Paul's Lutheran (Hedrick, IA): ALC/ELCA, 1984-1991. I was confirmed here. Sadly, this church no longer exists.

Other philosophy: I consider myself enlightened, and while I'm fairly bright I'll admit I'm not all that Bright. My favorite secular philosopher is Socrates.

IQ: 129 (tested March 1992).

The charter members include an Atheist, an Agnostic, and two Lutherans. See User:Archola/The Centrist Fellowship for more details.

May the Force be with you!
Star Wars is a good allegory for the Christian faith. It reminds us that there is a difference between the Force, the Dark Side of the Force, and those who just don't have the Force. Those without the Force will be skeptical. Atheists are not necessarily evil; they just don't have "faith." It is important to remember that even a good Jedi can be tempted to the Dark Side. Anger, fear, hatred, suspicion, prejudice, incivility, vandalism, sockpuppets, edit wars, ineffective voting, binary thinking...these are all paths to the Dark Side, and must be avoided.

Metaphysical Poker
'''Einstein was right. God does not play dice, he plays poker! Let's watch...'''
 * "I would rather believe in a god who may not exist, than risk the wrath of a God who may exist." (Based on Pascal's wager.)
 * "God would see through a cheap trick like that." (Monty Python's wager, as submitted by SOPHIA.)
 * "I don't know if God exists. I'll just wait and see." (Agnostic's wager.)
 * "It is better to live your life as if there are no gods, and try to make the world a better place for your being in it." (Atheist's Wager.)
 * Religion ups the ante (submitted by Avery W. Krouse.)
 * God raises the stakes.
 * Interruption: Sorry, but we're out of snacks. Can somebody make a run to the store? (submitted by Avery W. Krouse.)

As Kenny Rogers sang, "You've got to know when to hold 'em!" (submitted by CTSWyneken.)

Aphorisms

 * Wikipedia is not a "left wing propaganda tool."

 * Those who butt heads are named for that action. (Original; March 2, 2006).

 * Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32; also Alpha Chi motto).

 * Examine your convictions. (Just popped in my head the evening of 02/24/2006).

 * The trouble with striving for the center is that sometimes you get caught in the middle. Know when to withdraw. (Personal critique of my own political philosophy).

 * You cannot claim a right that you are not prepared to grant to others. (As per SOPHIA).

 * When arguments get heated, keep this in mind.

 * I have made it my mission to help ensure that the various Jesus articles are consistent, accurate and well-organized, while respecting all viewpoints. The topic has proven contentious. Jesus Christ! (But feel free to leave a message.)

 * Humor me.

 * Quintlemma: Jesus was either Lord, Liar, Lunatic, Misinterpreted, or Nonexistent. (Extention of the trilemma of C. S. Lewis. C.f. Mere Christianity.)

 * I maintain that a universe without God is as illogical as a book without an author. (Based on the Theistic axiom (Deus ergo universalis), and perhaps argument from design)

 * I assert that the "god" that the Atheist does not believe in is not God.

 * "Truth cannot contradict truth"—Pope John Paul II, quoting Pope Leo XIII in the Providentissimus Deus.

 * "Tends to shy away from organized religion" is inaccurate. I tend to shy away from disorganized religion. I'm very much a committed Lutheran; but with the multiplicity of Lutheran sects, who is to say which are the "true" Lutherans? More broadly, I find it hard to reconcile "One holy Christian and apostolic church" with "the sin of unionism." Like the hymn says, "We are one in the [Holy] Spirit, we are one in the Lord, and we pray that all unity will one day be restored."

History
The district of Nuapada was a part of Kalahandi district until early March 1993, but for administrative convenience, Kalahandi District was divided into two parts — Kalahandi and Nuapada vide State Government Notification No. DRC-44/93/14218/R dated 27 March 1993. Nuapada District now comprises one sub-division Nuapada, six tehsils (Nuapada, Komana, Khariar, Sinapalli, Boden and jonk) and five community development blocks (Khariar, Sinapalli, Boden, Nuapada and Komna).It is believed that the District of Kalahandi formed in ancient time a part of Mahakantara territory. During 4th century CE, when Samudra Gupta led his campaign through this region a king named Vyaghraraja was ruling over Mahakantara. After Vyaghraraja, the Nala kings like Bhavadatta Varman, Arthapati and Skanda Varman ruled over this region up to about 500 CE.

In the 6th century CE a new kingdom developed in the Kalahandi tract under King Tustikara, but very little is known about other kings of his family.The Nuapada area was by that time under the kings of Sarabhapuriya dynasty whose copper plate record and gold coins are available. This region came under the occupation of the Somavamsis of South Kosala during the 8th century CE when Mahaivagupta Balarjuna was ruling from his headquarters at Sripur.

In the 9th century CE when the Somavamsis were ousted from the Sripur region and organized a new kingdom in Sonepur-Sambalpur tract, the Kalahandi portion continued to be under their rule. In fact, Mahabhabagupta Janamejaya occupied the Trikalinga territory (Koraput area) through Kalahandi. In the middle of the 10th century CE the Somavamsi dominion embraced the whole of Orissa under Yayati II Mahasivagupta. His son Udyotakesari divided this dominion and placed the western part (Kosala) under the rule of a collateral branch. Kalahandi was included in the Kosala kingdom the capital of which was Jajatinagar near Sonepur.

The rule of the Somavamsis in Kosala collapsed by the invasion of Rajendra Chola in 1022 CE and after that the territory came under the rule of the Telugu Cholas. In 1038 CE Vajrahasta V of Eastern Ganga dynasty became powerful in Parlakhemundi region and after the death of Rajendra Chola in 1044 CE he assumed independence and occupied the hilly territory including Koraput and Kalahandi.

The Gangas ruled over Kalahandi for a long period. The stone inscription at Narla reveals that one Madanamahadeva was ruling over Kamalmandala in 1231 CE apparently as a feudatory of the Gangas. Tradition preserved by the Durbar of Kalahandi reveals that the Nagas commenced their rule in Kalahandi from Vikram sambat 1062 or CE 1005. If the tradition is to be believed it may be said that the Nagas ruled over Kamalmandala as feudatories of the Gangas till 14th century CE after which they owed allegiance to the Suryavamshi Gajapatis.

It is not known when Kamalmandala became known as Kalahandi. The earliest reference to the name Kalahandi is found in the Dadhivaman temple inscription dated in Yugabda 4819, i.e., CE 1718. In British records this territory was called Karond. This territory assumed independence after the downfall of the Gajapatis of Orissa in 1568 CE According to tradition the Kalahandi kingdom commanded sovereign power over eighteen garhs before it was occupied by the Bhonsles of Nagpur in the middle of the 18th century CE In 1803 when the Marathas were defeated by the British and the coastal regions of Orissa as well as the Patna-Sambalpur group of states came under the British, Kalahandi, very probably, continued under the Marathas. The Patna-Sambalpur group was subsequently restored to Raghujee Bhonsla II in 1806. The Marathas of Nagpur became subordinate to British power after the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1818. But Kalahandi continued to be under Maratha rule till 1853, when the Nagpur state lapsed to the British Crown as Raghuji III died without an heir. The Chauhans were ruling over Khariar since about the time of Rama Deo, the first Chauhan king of Patna. In 1590 CE Gopal Ray, a scion of the Patna family became the king of Khariar and started a line of semi-independent kings in that territory. Khariar came under the Marathas in 1741 CE and the British occupied it in 1818. In 1905 when the District of Sambalpur and some feudatory states including Kalahandi were amalgamated with Orissa Division of Bengal, the Government of the Central Provinces opposed merger of Khariar with Sambalpur and in 1906 Khariar became a part of the Mahasamund tehsil. When the separate province of Orissa was formed in 1936, Khariar was added to Orissa and was made a sub-division (Nuapada sub-division) of Sambalpur District. On the 1st January 1948, Kalahandi along with other feudatory states of Orissa except Mayurbhanj, merged with Orissa and on that date the new District of Kalahandi was formed with the ex-states of Kalahandi, Patna and Sonepur. On the 1st November 1949, Patna and Sonepur together constituted a separate District and the Nuapada sub-division of Sambalpur was added to the District of Kalahandi.

Geography
Nuapada district is in the western part of Odisha, lying between latitude 20° 0' N and 21° 5' and between longitude 82° 20' E and 82° 40' E. Its boundaries extend in the north, west and south to Mahasamund district in Chhattisgarh and in the east to Bargarh, Balangir and Kalahandi districts. The district has an area of 3407.5 km2 and the administrative headquarters is located at Nuapada.

The plains of Nuapada subdivision are fringed by rugged hill ranges stretching southward, which belong to the main line of the Eastern Ghats and contain extensive plateaus of about 4000 ft (1200 m) in elevation.

Economy
Due to the conspicuous absence of any industry, the economy revolves around agricultural activities. Three major irrigation projects — the Upper Jonk, the Sunder dam, and the upcoming Lower Indira Irrigation Project — provide support to 45,000 acres of land. Rice is the main crop in the entire district. Other crops like corn (maize), cotton, and onion make up a major share of crops under cultivation. More than 10,000 households migrate to other states in search of better employment opportunities every year after the harvesting season is over. Though the district is tops in MGNREGS implementation, the advance provided by labor contractors before Nuakhai festival lure ignorant laborers into the plot. Due to unregistered and uninformed migration, protection of migrant laborers has become a challenge to the government. In 2006, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Nuapada one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640). it is one of the 19 districts in Odisha currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).

Demographics
In the 2011 Indian census, Nuapada district had a population of 610,382. roughly equal to the nation of Solomon Islands or the US state of Wyoming. This gives it a ranking of 524th in India (out of a total of 640). The district has a population density of 157 PD/sqkm. Its population growth rate over the decade 2001–2011 was 14.28%. Nuapada has a sex ratio of 1020 females for every 1000 males, and a literacy rate of 58.2%. 4.99% of the population lives in urban areas. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes make up 13.46% and 33.80% of the population respectively.

At the time of the 2011 census, 58.02% of the population in the district spoke Odia, 23.72% Sambalpuri, 15.04% Chhattisgarhi and 1.68% Hindi as their first language.

Vidhan Sabha constituencies
Nuapada district is part of Kalahandi Lok Sabha constituency. The MP of Kalahandi is Basanta Kumar Panda from the BJP.

The following are the two Vidhan Sabha constituencies of Nuapada district and the elected members of that area.

Greetings.

My nickname bukvoed means "one who eats letters (of alphabet)" in Russian. Or, less literally, it's a pedant, one who pays attention to insignificant details. When I come across a wikipedia article which I feel needs that kind of attention... well, I do what I can, especially if the article has something to do with my areas of interest. Hopefully, somebody will find my marginal contibution to Wikipedia helpful.

Talk:Dianne Feinstein

Actions on September 28
Hours before she died; Senator Feinstein voted on the Senate floor for the last time, and later met with fmr Rep Jane Harman at Feinstein's home, around 5PM EST. I think these events are relevant and should be included in the section about her death. BlueOcean02 (talk) 19:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

 * I don't know if these are encyclopedically significant enough events to warrant listing. DarmaniLink (talk) 19:53, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Maybe not, her final vote was on a continuing resolution to temporarily avert a shutdown, that might be relevant elsewhere I guess. BlueOcean02 (talk) 20:09, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It's certainly not relevant elsewhere. If anywhere, then here. Str1977 (talk) 11:10, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It was just an idea for a page on the looming shutdown. No need to overreact. BlueOcean02 (talk) 18:44, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * People here sometimes respond with a tone that cuts the bullshit and can come off as curt and sharp. Please try not to take it personally. DarmaniLink (talk) 23:19, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand, but people should probably think a tiny bit more before they speak. You can cut the bullshit, without being overtly direct. BlueOcean02 (talk) 16:40, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It is frowned upon by some but if you take it personally you'll find yourself in more disputes than productive discussions. Best to just communicate, take the information, and roll with it and get back to making a better encyclopedia. :) DarmaniLink (talk) 01:53, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Since you posted immediately under my comment: How was my comment "overreacting"? Also, what's wrong about stating a point directly. There was nothing personal in my comment at all.
 * In an article on the looming shutdown, Mrs Feinstein is just one of 100 Senators, not more or less important than others. It doesn't matter if it is a Senator's first or last vote.
 * Her casting her last vote however might be relevant here. After all it was HER last vote. It might merit inclusion that she voted so close before her death. OTOH, giving that the vote was such a transitionary one, I think in this case the value to the reader is very limited. Str1977 (talk) 09:11, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Honestly, if its mentioned at all, it should be in passing, in a manner that prioritizes she voted X hours before her reported time of death over what the vote actually is, and only stating that as a passing fact of the matter in passing.
 * Something like (for example, i dont know the actual number and cant be assed to check)
 * "9 hours before her death, she voted for what would be her last time on the senate floor on a measure regarding the prevention a shutdown."
 * (obviously this is bad, its just what i could come up with in 15 seconds)
 * Its a neat tidbit but I don't really see a place for it. DarmaniLink (talk) 01:40, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Which is why I refrenced placing it elsewhere, but the shutdown was avoided so it's pointless anyway. As for the meeting Jane Harman it could probably be mentioned in passing when discussing polticians who paid tribute to her, it's just an interesting thing to note. BlueOcean02 (talk) 00:31, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * With the utmost respect, writing a Mini Essay about how you didn't over react is literally the definition of over reacting. But anyway I can see your point, think before you speak in future, so this sort of nonsense doesn't happen again. BlueOcean02 (talk) 00:34, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Honestly, a comment like this gives the impression of trolling. People can respond how they want, so long as they're not being profane or abusive. Lecturing people on tone will guarantee your edits do not get transcluded DarmaniLink (talk) 03:54, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Respectfully, I'm not trolling, I just want discussions to be as civil and polite as possible. BlueOcean02 (talk) 23:03, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

How she was viewed on LGBTQ issues
Plenty of sources describe how Feinstein-as-mayor had a mixed record on LGBTQ issues. She supported gays at times, and at other times she did not.

She initially courted the gay vote to gain a seat on the SF Board of Supervisors. But Feinstein-as-mayor was notably less liberal on gays than her predecessor George Moscone. After becoming mayor, she told Ladies Home Journal that "The right of an individual to live as he or she chooses can become offensive", for which she was reviled by gays. When Moscone murderer Dan White was convicted of lesser charges, the gays protested, and Feinstein was lambasted for cracking down on protests. In 1982, she killed a bill that would have given benefits to "domestic partners" of unmarried public employees; a pro-gay bill. Because of these actions, she picked up the nickname "Ayatollah Feinstein" among gays.

In Feb 1983 a prominent SF gay community group, the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club, voted in favor of recalling Feinstein as SF mayor. In 1984, she sent plainclothes police into gay bathhouses as "spies", which prompted an angry response reported by the media. Warren Hinckle wrote about all of this with a retrospective view, and many other contemporary news items cover it. Binksternet (talk) 14:26, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Her veto of domestic partnership legislation in 1982 is talked about in the page, and in the page about the recall election. BlueOcean02 (talk) 16:45, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Jerry Roberts wrote a balanced summary of her record on LGBTQ+ issues for Politico: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/09/29/dianne-feinstein-legacy-00116902. Perhaps it and the aforementioned primary sources can be synthesized with Trudy Ring's and Jeff McMillian's assessments for The Advocate (https://www.advocate.com/politics/dianne-feinstein-lgbtq-record) and The Associated Press (https://apnews.com/article/dianne-feinstein-lgbtq-rights-a736eb15f16c9f29da807b77fea72d12), respectively.

Semi-protected edit request on 23 November 2023
Diane Feinstein entry states that “ the Supreme Court ruled against abortion rights “. What the court actually ruled was that abortion was not a constitutionally protected right but rather an issue that should be returned to the states.

Committee chairmanships on Feinstein's profile
On the topic of including Feinstein's committee position's in the title, should we include all of her chairmanships and ranking memberships (including vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee) in the infobox? Are they specifically notable enough that inclusion in the lead is insufficient?

Asking with reference to this (largely unfrequented) consensus question on the WikiProject Politics page. This is so we can apply any consensus reached to articles of other senior members of Congress. SuperWIKI (talk) 11:53, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Diane Feinstein forgotten accomplishment
I have searched everywhere to find information of the incredible First-Time Homebuyer's Program Mayor Diane Feinstein instituted in the 1980s. I was a recipient of the program in 1981 at the Mariners Village Development in Hunters Point in San Francisco. The homes were the San Francisco Navy Shipyard enlisted sailors' homes from the 1940s, which rennovated and certified for occupancy in 1980/81. LoliLola19 (talk) 21:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
