Talk:Reality Check (program)

And one person keeps removing the criticism entirely. In order to settle things down a bit, a Reality Check response was added in the Criticism that hopefully will seem fair to everyone. Secondwhiteline 04:41, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

The edits were changed because some of the phrases were of a particularly boosterish nature, particularly the arguments against the criticism within the criticism section - my feeling is that the criticism section is a separate beast, and that the rest of the RC article is where RC's point of view goes, UNLESS the phrasing before the Reality Check responses is changed to include something like "Reality Check members feel that...", something of that nature. Secondwhiteline 04:40, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Edits being deleted for no apparent reason: Seemingly acceptable edits made to the Criticism portion of this article have repeatedly been changed back t their previous form. Why is this? The edits simply do a better job at making this article more non-bias, and accurate. In addition, said edits keep the Criticism section from sounding like a the mad diatribe of a reality check "non-supporter." 24.29.66.145 04:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Under edits, the "minor" edit button was clicked accidentally when I added a .jpg of the RC logo. Just a quick note. Secondwhiteline 04:26, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

This article has been kept following this VFD debate. Sjakkalle (Check!)  13:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

whats with the picture? a painting doesnt look like a logo at all, not to mention the nazi-related nature of the pic makes it seem like vandalism... Blueaster 23:14, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

i see weasle words...

Where I'm at (Rockland County, southern NY) we say youth-led, not teen-led, because we have a few preteens involved. I think it's fair to be inclusive of them, they do just as much for the movement as teens do. I changed "teen" to "youth" in a few places but left it in in a few more to emphasize that most RC members are teens. I also took out the 13-18 bit because there is no such requirement, at least not at the school level. This article should really be expanded further, it would do a lot for the credibility of the organization (as stupid as it is that people judge things by their Wikipedia articles, but it's true).

 * Wikipedia's here to document organizations, not legitimize them. If you mean we should include more information, fine, but this isn't a free advertising site.

 * True, but it sometimes unintentionally serves to de-legitimize organizations by not including enough information about them.

Somebody needs to remove the last paragraph. It's blatant advertising. 108.77.235.163 (talk) 20:47, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Branko Strupar

Branko Strupar (born 9 February 1970) is a Croatian-Belgian former professional footballer who played as a striker. In 1999, he became a naturalised Belgian. He consequently played for the Belgium national team, with whom he played 17 matches and scored five times.

Early career
Strupar was born in Zagreb, Croatia, Yugoslavia and started his footballing career with the local county tier club Špansko in the west of the city. He was scouted by a number of Croatian and European clubs in early 1990s, and ultimately joined Genk in 1994.

Club career
Strupar played in Belgium for Genk, winning promotion to the Belgian First Division in 1996, and becoming champion of Belgium with the same team in 1999. He also won the Belgian Golden Shoe as Player of the Year for 1998. In 1998, he finished as top scorer with 22 goals. He moved to Derby County in December 1999, where he most notably scored the first British league goal of the year 2000 after two minutes against Watford, a game in which he scored twice. While at Derby, Strupar gained popularity with his prolific scoring ability.

Despite an excellent goals-to-games ratio when fit, injuries curtailed his Derby career, and he was eventually given a free transfer, with which he returned to Croatia for a brief spell at Dinamo Zagreb to wind up his career.

International career
He made his debut for Belgium in an August 1999 friendly match against Finland, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute for Sandy Martens, and earned a total of 17 caps, scoring five goals. His final international was a June 2002 World Cup match against Tunisia.

Talk:Quantitative revolution

Untitled
Hi, this is my first attempt at creating a page on wikipedia. I hope it is 'a ok'. Any feedback would be useful and finally I hope  that the article is useful and obviously correct.

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Lrivas02.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 07:34, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Good start!
Damned good first effort! Suggestion: I think it's a bit black and white on behavioralism as a 'response' to quantitiative geography. Also it's worth noting that many of the technqiues were already present (gravity models being the best case in point) and ideas such as Central Place Theory (1933) were clearly 'scientific' in their approach. Might also be worth noting some key texts (David Harvey's Explanation in Geography springs to mind, if only for his own later rebutal in Social Justice and the City). Icundell 12:55, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments and suggestions they are much appreciated. I'll add an additional reading section and may be a section on views and opinions of the revolution so a note can be placed about CP Theory and other models being present before the 1950s and having a scientific basis and also quotations from geographers and others on the revolution. On behavioural geography may be a revision saying that it was present before the revolution but was at its zenith after the 1960s as it presented a counter to quantitative geography would be more appropriate. AlexD
 * Pleasure. I think the key thing with behavioralism is that it was adopted (rather than developed) as a counter to the rather narrow positivist slant of the quants - but undid itself by ending up as little more than listing space preferences, with no proper grounding in theory. For me the key flaw in the quantitiative revolution was that it had a very narrow concept of 'science' as a toolkit, rather than a philosophical framework. Christaller (and Homer Hoyt and Burgess & Park and Alfred Weber) were scientific. The were trying to develop general laws, to understand the causes of things (rerum cognoscere causus, as us LSE grads knew it). I suspect they would have all been somewhat appalled by the quantitative revolution. But that is essay territory and I wrote those 25 sodding years ago (use four tildes and you datestamp your comments). Icundell 22:43, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the delay, I shall get right on it and change it to a summary of the above (bar the essay bit) and rather than create a new section I'll add a bit under post-revolution and say that there were geographers that used the scientific method and that the revolution was more of an emergence of quantitative geography that had previously been under developed and underused. AlexD 19:22, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * done a re-work of the major sections to tighten up the chronology a bit and to clarify what was meant by 'sceintific method' by most quants. It is very important not to use 'scientific' and 'quantitative' as synomyms. Icundell 16:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

spell check
Running a spellchecker (on the 01 Feb 2006 version here offline) finds lots.

location theories
"This list highlights the fundamental contradiction of the quantitative revolution: Von Thunen (18th century), Weber (turn on the 20th century)and Walter Christaller (1933) had already developed theories that, on any defintion, were scientific in character."

There were scientific but only Christaller was geographer, the other two were economists. Before quantitative revolution (human) geography focused only on the study of place (description of regions or study of areal differencation). Many location theories were actually adopted from economy which was far more scientific that days.84.47.81.248 06:22, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes Von Thunen and Weber were economists. So what? Once they started dealing with location in space they became geographers. The were the first theories I was taught in economic geography class and I have been around the blocks a few times. Homer Hoyt, a sociologist also made a massive contribution to geography, along with Burgess and Park and what all of these have in common is that they massively pre-dated the quantitative revolution. Icundell 10:42, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * But this is no contradiction of the quantitative revolution. Geography simply ignored the space or location analysis before the revolution. You should know that Hartshorne (1939) defined geography as a study of areal differentiation which was criticised by Shaefer as unscientific because science should be searching for general laws or something what applies to all places on Earth not what differs them one from another. 84.47.76.78 19:37, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You mean like Halford Mackinder? "The science of distribution. The science, that is, which traces the arrangement of things in general on the Earth's surface." Or Dudley Stamps's attempts to define cities based on function (deeply flawed in many ways, but clearly scientific in intent). Both massively pre-dating the quantitative revolution. In North America Regionalism held sway, but not in Europe. But anyway, the point of the original article text (and the current version is barely comprehensible) is that the quantitative revolutions failing was its narrow, positivist conception of science. It is a statement of fact, not POV, that theoretically based geographical analysis existed before the quantitiative revolution claimed to discover it. And the Quant's narrow conception in turn prompted the development or rediscovery of behavioralism and Marxist/ structuralism. Icundell 14:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Quantitative revolution was a reaction to regional geography paradigm and it moved geography as a science a step further. The article was and still is (in my eyes) heavily biased against quantitative revolution. It should be balanced (from a neutral point of view) not attempting to claim that quantitative revolution failed in something. Revolution was a turning point and (in a long run) it achieved its goals: to make geography a scientifical discipline, to make geography applicable and to keep of the threat to geography’s position as an academic subject. The structure of current version of article is better: 1. Background 2. Crisis 3. Revolution 4. Critic and 5. Post-revolution. Though I think that the post-revolution period should be written to an article about Critical geography. And it really doesn't matter if something was before or not, it is about prevailing paradigms. Behavioral geography was before 1970's and so on, it is a dead end.87.197.118.17 23:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Try to see the world from a less north American perspective. The Regional Paradigm never held sway in Europe. The article does not claimed the quantitative revolution failed in anything, it says that it provoked a strong reaction. It also makes the point that many of its specific claims were peculiar to a time (the late 50s/ early 60s) and place (North America). Indeed, that some of its strongest proponents (like Peter Haggett or David Harvey and David Smith) were British should hammer this home. Icundell 11:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * But you must see the quantitative revolution from a north American perspective to understand that there was no contradiction. I don't know what you mean exactly by quantitative revolution - a spread of positivism, a reaction to 1950s crisis (or regional geography paradigm) or only an increased use of quantitative techniques without any other connection. I made some changes and I hope it's better now. Some text was moved to critical geography article. If you don't agree with something please edit the text.GeoW 07:23, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The QR was a reaction to the 1950s crisis in (predominantly) north American Geography. It's principle c,aim was that it introduced "scientific method" to the discipline. In fact, it strongly favoured a very specific approach to science, positivism, ignoring other long-standing scientific analysis of geographical matters. One major consequence of this was an overwhelming emphasis placed on numerical analysis and in particlur multi-variate statistics (borrowing heavily from econometrics). This eventually led to sharp criticism of the QR as devoid of content and (ironically) theoretically barren.
 * That is what the article said and it was perfectly clear.
 * What on Earth does "Geography became more applicable in planning process " mean? Again, outside the US geogrpahers have always been closely associated with planning.
 * I will be re-instating some of the stuff you have removed to make the article a little less fanboyish, but it will havce to wait. Icundell 02:29, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I unintentionally removed two paragraphs about critic in editing, they are back now (but it needs improvement to be consistent - geography is certainly not study barren of any theory). And to planning there is a word "more" because of spatial analysis which was underdeveloped in geography in general and don't say that in Britain before Hagget, Lloyd or Dicken it was not. Or what about work of Garrison in trasportation problems during revolution.
 * Anyway the article should be consistent with the history of geography. Regional geography was prevailing paradigm also in Western Europe: you certainly know the names like Hettner (1859-1941) or Passarge from Germany or Vidal de la Blache and others from France (note that I don't say it was the only approach, there were debates after the critic (or misuse) of environmental determinism if geography is a valid science which was probably the cause of the turn to regional geography or descriptive approach in general).GeoW 10:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Just one remark: Positivism (or post-positivism) is a valid scientifical approach also in social sciences (In my country I was thaught that geography is an interdisciplinary science between natural, human and technical sciences - such as cartography, remote senzing or geoinformatics and very close to it is also spatial planning. And I believe that the only universal theoretical approach to every geographical science is systems theory which is clearly expressed in Waldo Toblers first law of geography which was published in 1970). It is also claimed that every science develops from descriptive to nomothetic by formalization (mathematical or other) of the thoughts. That's my point of view. Have in mind when rewriting this article. GeoW 17:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Geow is right that many early thinkers cannot be clubbed exclusively of a particular stream, economics or geography. the statistical techniques and models like central place theory of Christaller and Von Thunen's agricultural land-use model were there on the scene much before 1950s, but such model and theories were an exception in geographical analysis. It was only during 50s and 60s that quantitative techniques were used at a large scale and thus warranting the use of the word "Revolution". I think one must go back to the definition of Paradigm in the Kuhn's sense to understand how quantitative revolution changed the way geography was applied, taught and theorized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.56.162.79 (talk) 16:35, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Taffy (candy)

Taffy is a type of candy invented in the United States, made by stretching and/or pulling a sticky mass of a soft candy base, made of boiled sugar, butter, vegetable oil, flavorings, and colorings, until it becomes aerated (tiny air bubbles produced), resulting in a light, fluffy and chewy candy. When this process is complete, the taffy is rolled, cut into small pieces and wrapped in wax paper to keep it soft. It is usually pastel-colored and fruit-flavored, but other flavors are common as well, including molasses and the "classic" (unflavored) taffy.

Definition and etymology
The word taffy, referring to the boiled candy, is first known to have appeared in the United States circa 1817. The word is also used metaphorically to refer to insincere flattery.

The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first written record of the word toffee in the forms tuffy, toughy to 1825 and identifies it as a southern British dialectal variant of taffy (first recorded use in 1817), whose modern spelling is first recorded from 1843.

Taffy pull
A taffy pull is a social event around the pulling of taffy that was popular in the 1840s through at least 1870s. The host would prepare the taffy recipe by melting molasses and sorghum or sugar with a mixture of water. Participants would coat their hands with butter and working with a partner pull the hot mixture apart, and then fold it back together and repeat. This process would add air to the candy, resulting in a soft chewable texture.

Salt water taffy

Salt water taffy is a variety of soft taffy originally produced and marketed in the Atlantic City, New Jersey area of the Jersey Shore starting in the 1880s. Its late 19th century appellation most likely originated in New Jersey. Salt water taffy is still sold widely on the boardwalks in Atlantic City (including shops in existence since the 19th century), nearby Ocean City, elsewhere at the Jersey Shore, and other beaches throughout the US like Cape Cod. It is also popular in Atlantic Canada and Salt Lake City, Utah.

Modern commercial taffy is made primarily from corn syrup, glycerin and butter. The pulling process, which makes the candy lighter and chewier, consists of stretching out the mixture, folding it over, and stretching it again. Although it is called "salt water" taffy, it does not include any seawater; it does contain both salt and water in its manufacture. However, in the dialect of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the term taffy without "salt water" refers to a lollipop.

The original invention of the candy has several different stories circulating, likely all apocryphal. One relates to an assistant who substituted fresh water with seawater—either through laziness or accident. Another cites a storm which caused seawater to wash over the candy, which was consequently (and successfully) marketed with the appropriate name.

Joseph Fralinger popularized the candy by boxing it and selling it in Atlantic City. Fralinger's first major competition came from candy maker Enoch James, who refined the recipe, making it less sticky and easier to unwrap. James also cut the candy into bite-sized pieces, and is credited with mechanizing the "pulling" process. The candy was also sold mail order; in 1926 sheet music was commissioned by James with the title "Send Home Some Taffy Today!" The Glaser family acquired James' stores in 1947, and Fralinger's stores in 1992. Stores under each brand still operate on the Atlantic City boardwalk.

On August 21, 1923, John Edmiston obtained a trademark for the name "salt water taffy" (number 172,016), then demanded royalties from companies using his newly acquired name. He was sued over this demand, and in 1925, the trademark was invalidated as being in common use.

Caramel candies are sometimes referred to as taffy (taffy apples), but the caramel is very different from common salt water taffy, though they share a similar tensile quality.

Ingredients

Salt water taffy is composed of sugar, cornstarch, corn syrup, glycerine, water, butter, salt, natural and/or artificial flavor, and food color. Some examples of flavoring include vanilla, lemon, maple, banana, red licorice, watermelon, raspberry or mint extracts.

United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, taffy pieces are known as "chewy sweets", "chews" or "fruit chews" —the term "taffy" is not widely used. Popular brands of chew include Chewits and Starburst.

Canada
In Canada, a form of molasses taffy candy, known as "halloween kisses", is produced in time for Halloween. The candy was first offered by the Kerr's Canadian candy company in the 1940s. At the time, a molasses candy was made by Stewart and Young in Glasgow.

In song
Songwriter Murray Grand referred to the product in his lyrics for "Come by Sunday": viz:-

"On Wednesday night I'm booked in full, And Thursday nights are taffy pull..."

The product serves a title role in the song “Laffy Taffy (song)” performed by the Hip-Hop group D4L.

John Chapman (evangelist)

John Charles Chapman (23 July 1930 – 16 November 2012), affectionately known as "Chappo", was an Australian preacher, Bible teacher and evangelist associated with the Sydney Anglican diocese. He wrote several books, including A Fresh Start; Know and Tell the Gospel; Setting Hearts on Fire, A Sinner's Guide to Holiness; and Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life, all published by Matthias Media. The Australian edition of A Fresh Start has sold nearly 40,000 copies since 1999.

Having begun his career as a teacher, Chapman shifted to Anglican ministry, his first curacy being at Moree. There he organised the Billy Graham Crusade landline services for the whole of Moree there. He started an interchurch prayer meeting in the Warriors Chapel of Moree's Anglican church in 1959 which is still going today. This is where he met Preston Walker, Aborigines Welfare District Officer and member of the Moree Methodist Church who later joined the British and Foreign Bible Society. Chapman valued the Christian fellowship of Preston and Kath Walker as they were former United Aborigines Mission missionaries from Western Australia and were evangelical Christians. Chapman taught woodwork in Moree before becoming a curate at Moree.

For 25 years he was the Director of the Anglican Department of Evangelism in Sydney, after beginning his career as a school teacher prior to theological training. In his retirement he continued to teach at Bible colleges, to speak at conventions around the world and to find time for the occasional game of tennis and golf.

Thousands heard his "persuasive, sane and happy preaching" presentations of the Gospel. But it was his shaping of young preachers, from Phillip Jensen to Steve Chong that brought him a lasting legacy.

The single men's accommodation at Moore Theological College was renamed John Chapman House in Chapman's honour. A biography, written by Michael Orpwood, was published in 1995 entitled Chappo: For the Sake of the Gospel. The foreword was provided by Dick Lucas - formerly rector of St Helen's Bishopsgate - a long-standing friend of Chapman.

Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vrhbosna

The Metropolitan Archdiocese of Vrhbosna (also known as the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Sarajevo) is an ecclesiastical archdiocese of the Catholic Church. Its territorial remit includes the eastern parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the entirety of the Republic of North Macedonia. Its episcopal see is the city of Sarajevo (Vrhbosna), the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The archdiocese has the following suffragans: in North Macedonia the Diocese of Skopje; in Bosnia, the dioceses of Banja Luka, Mostar-Duvno and Trebinje-Mrkan.

Vrhbosna's cathedral is the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Sarajevo. Tomo Vukšić currently serves as the archbishop of the archdiocese.

History

The Diocese of Bosnia (Latin: Dioecesis Bosniensis) existed in Bosnia between the 11th and 15th centuries, and remained as a single title until 1773 when it was given to the Bishop of Sirmia.

It is not known precisely when the Bosnian diocese was established. Based on a collection of historical documents Provinciale Vetus, published in 1188, which mention it twice, once subordinated to the Archdiocese of Split, and another time under the Archdiocese of Ragusa, it is assumed that it came into existence between 1060 and 1075. During the 12th century, it was contested between those two archdioceses as well as another two, the Archdiocese of Antivari and the Archdiocese of Kalocsa. In 1244, an endowment of the parishes of Đakovo and Blezna by King Bela IV of Hungary listed the other parishes of the diocese, namely Vrhbosna, Neretva, Lepenica, Vidgossa (Viduša), Mile (near today's Visoko), Lašva, Uskoplje, Brod (near today's Zenica), Borač (near today's Rogatica).

In the 13th and 14th centuries, the Bishops of Bosnia were mainly Dominican missionaries who were sent in to combat the spread of the Bosnian Church. At the turn of the 14th century, the Franciscans also arrived with the same purpose, at first in Usora and Soli, at the request of Stephen Dragutin of Serbia. The two orders engaged in a prolonged dispute over the control of the province, in which the Franciscans ultimately prevailed, yet the weakened diocese still succumbed to the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia in 1463.

During the Ottoman occupation, the bishop of Bosnia had no effective control over the territory of Bosnia, rather, the Franciscan Province of Bosna Srebrena remained the primary vessel of Catholicism in the area. In 1735, the Holy See founded the Apostolic Vicariate for Bosnia, and assigned Franciscans as apostolic vicars to direct it, thereby formally ending the jurisdiction of this diocese over Bosnia.

In 1773, pope Clement XIV united formally the diocese with the Diocese of Syrmia on demand of the Holy Roman Empress and Queen of Hungary and Croatia, Maria Theresa. The 1773 change subordinated it to the Archdiocese of Zagreb. In 1881, the Archdiocese of Vrhbosna was erected, that included the actual territory of Bosnia. The Diocese of Bosnia (Ðakovo) and Srijem became the present-day Archdiocese of Ðakovo-Osijek.

On 5 July 1881, Pope Leo XIII issued Ex hac augusta Principis Apostolorum cathedra, a bull by which he restored the regular Church hierarchy in Bosnia and Herzegovina. With the restoration, both vicariates, the Bosnian (1735–1881) and the Herzegovinian (1846–81) were abolished.

The old Diocase of Bosnia was elevated as the Archdiocese of Vrhbosna. The pope subordinated to it three other dioceses: the newly established Diocese of Banja Luka, the already existing Diocese of Trebinje-Mrkan (under the apostolic administration from the bishop of Dubrovnik at the time) and the Diocese of Mostar-Duvno, to which he added the title of bishop of Duvno as well. The Diocese of Mostar-Duvno encompassed the territory of the Apostolic Vicariate of Herzegovina, which was abolished.

The Apostolic Vicar of Bosnia Paškal Vuičić was simply retired after the abolishment of the vicariate, while the Apostolic Vicar of Herzegovina Paškal Buconjić was appointed Bishop of Mostar-Duvno. Josip Stadler was appointed the Archbishop of Vrhbosna and Administrator of Banja Luka.

The Bosnian War, which resulted in the Siege of Sarajevo on the archdiocese's home, gravely impacted the archdiocese. In the war's aftermath, repairs had to be completed to many damaged churches and chapels. The biggest struggle has been the exodus of Croats, causing the Catholic population in the diocese to drop to less than half of what it was before the conflict.

Nicholas Mavroules

Nicholas James Mavroules (November 1, 1929 – December 25, 2003) was an American Democratic Party politician from Massachusetts. He served as Mayor of Peabody, Massachusetts for a decade, then represented Peabody and much of the surrounding North Shore region in the United States House of Representatives from 1979 until 1993. In 1993, he pleaded guilty to 15 counts of racketeering and extortion and later served 15 months in prison.

Early life and career
Mavroules was born in Peabody, Massachusetts, November 1, 1929.

He graduated from Peabody High School and was employed by Sylvania Electric Products from 1949 to 1967 as supervisor of personnel.

He was elected to the Peabody Council and served from 1958 to 1965. In 1966, he was elected mayor of Peabody and served until his election to Congress in 1978. He was a delegate to the 1976 Democratic National Convention.

Congress
In 1978, he won the election to take over the seat of retiring Rep. Michael J. Harrington. After his election, an FBI informant testified that he had offered Mavroules a $25,000 bribe when he was the mayor of Peabody in connection with liquor licensing. Mavroules denied the accusations and the FBI did not charge him in the matter.

In Congress, he was a longtime member of the House Armed Services Committee and chaired the Subcommittee on Investigations, where he led the House investigation into the deadly USS Iowa turret explosion. He also helped expose cost overruns in the Navy’s aircraft programs. He was also instrumental in making certain that the crew of USS Pueblo (AGER-2) obtained prisoner of war status.

During the 1980s, Marvoules was a leading supporter in the House for a nuclear freeze and an opponent of the MX missile.

In August 1992, a federal grand jury indicted Mavroules on 17 charges of bribery, racketeering and extortion. The allegations against him included extortion, accepting illegal gifts and failing to report them on congressional disclosure and income tax forms. He survived a Democratic primary election the following month, but was defeated by Republican Peter G. Torkildsen.

Conviction
In April 1993, after his departure from Congress, Mavroules pleaded guilty to 15 of the 17 counts and was sentenced to a fifteen-month prison term. At his sentencing, he apologized to his family "who have endured enormous, enormous pain" and to supporters and friends "for any hurt I have brought upon them". He served his prison term at the federal penitentiary at Bedford, Pennsylvania.

Death
Mavroules died on December 25, 2003, in Salem, Massachusetts after gastric surgery. He was buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery, Peabody, Massachusetts. Over 6,000 people attended his wake and funeral which was held at St. Vasilios Church Greek Orthodox church in Peabody. Several current and former members of Congress attended the services. The eulogy at the funeral mass was offered by Rudy de Leon, a former staffer. At the graveside service, another eulogy was made by local reporter and talk show host Dan Rea.

Talk:Nymphet

This article has been kept following this VFD debate. Sjakkalle (Check!)  13:36, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Definition
I clarified the definition. A nymphet is not just "a young adolescent girl", but specifically a young adolescent girl being viewed in a sexual manner. The background information on its origin from the protagonist of Lolita helps provide more context on the nature of the term. --4.246.3.43 04:12, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I've tried to clarify the definition even more and have been reverted twice. Instead of getting into an edit war I thought I should give my reasons for thinking the definition needs more tweaking and I hope that whoever reverted me can join in this discussion. The problem I have is with the word "sexualized." That word implies that the girl is made to look sexual by some outside force. Like for example, the way little girls are made to look "sexy" in Little Miss Beauty Pageants, like JonBenét Ramsey or the girls in Little Miss Sunshine. Not only do most dictionaries not use the word "sexualized" to define "nymphet", but I believe that it is not what Nabokov meant either. Humbert was attracted to nymphets, not because they were made to look sexy, the way a woman is made to look sexy if she becomes a model, but because of the way they naturally are. They were young girls that showed precocious sexuality on their own, not because they were "sexualized" (made to look sexy). Also I think it should be pointed out that a nympholept that sees a nymphet and thinks she is attractive, is not "sexualizing" her just by his act of feeling attracted to her. Wouldn't saying a nympet is a "sexually attractive or precocious pubescent girl" be more accurate? It is also how the term "lolita" is defined which basically means the same thing. Ospinad 02:38, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Can you give us the 2 alternatives, specifically, that we can debate on? SqueakBox 18:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I thought I did. My suggestion was to put it as "sexually attractive or sexually precocious pubescent girl," or something along those lines. That's basically how it's defined in most dictionary's and it's how the term "lolita" is defined here on wikipedia. Ospinad 19:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

the definition of nymphet has changed since nabokov first wrote Lolita, that's what happens with words over time, their meanings change. I am still tiffed that I had numerous sources for the "nymphets in culture" list and someone DELETED all my HARD work! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.181.229.91 (talk) 07:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Faunlets in culture
While I have managed to find sources for the nymphets on the list, i have yet to find any sources for the faunlets. Could someone help me out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.7.249.68 (talk) 22:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC).

List of actors
Why did whoever did it take off the faunlets in culture and nymphets in culture?? That would be like deleting all the sex symbols on the page of sex symbols. Get real.
 * I've just redeleted the list. If references are provided showing a third party calling these people "nymphs" (possible) or "faunlets" (fat chance) then it can be replaced, otherwise it's original research and is not allowed according to the verification policy.  brenneman  {L}  00:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not the one who REposted the list, all I did was alphabetise it, I didn't even add any names to it. All of the girls who were on the nymphet list are regarded by many people as sexuallly attractive adolescents. All of the boys were on the faunlet list are likewise regarded by many people as sexually attractive adolescents. But whatever. It's like taking all the sex symbols and deleting them.

Many of the young women and men who assembled the "faunlet" and "nymphet" lists are also on the sex symbols list on this site.Lingonberry 22:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * First let me apologise if my bolding of "re" seemed personal, it was not intended as such. The question is, do we have even a single instance where these people are referred to by this name as that is what is required to meet our fundemental policy on unbiased inclusion.  brenneman  {L}  23:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I've got one: most of the faunlets and nymphets mentioned are on amiannoying.com's lists of Lolitas and faunlets. Most of the nymphets that were mentioned have/had many websites devoted to their "jailbait sexiness." Most of the faunlets are just generally considered faunlets because they're considered especially sexually attractive for their ages.

 * Urk. I can't explain this any more clearly "just generally considered" isn't the criterion.  I'm unable to see amiannoying as a reliable source by any stretch.  The guidelines about verification, citation, and sources all explain this more eloquently than I do.  brenneman  {L}  05:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I swear I'm not trying to be disagreeable. But none of the sex symbols are cited, they're all "generally considered" too. On the VFD debate page, one person says that the list of actors/musicians isn't POV since it fits the definition of what a nymphet/faunlet is, and I agree, just like all the sex symbols fit the definition of what a sex symbol is.

Having looked at the list in the history page, i can only say that the list of nymphets was clearly deeply based on personal taste, and lack of real understanding of the subject, as the only one i saw that would have any relation to the word Nymphet would be Natalie Portman. I personally consider both Dominique Swain and Sue Lyon as complete miscasts in relation to the descriptions made in Nabokov's book.

And then, when looking at the list and finding a whole bunch of blond American actresses and models, i find myself wondering personally how anyone creating a list of media nymphets can forget one of the most important media icons in Europe who found herself at the core of the subject with her hit song Moi... Lolita, Alizée.

Why wasn't Alizée on the list? Because in my opinion there was absolutely no valid excuse for that.Frits van Houten 13:32, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Because no verifiable source claims her to be. If you were to add it, it would constitute as original research and hence that edit cannot be accepted. Same reasoning goes to why her photo cannot be used in this article, as even if not explicitly stated, it means she is be attributed as a Nymphet. -- so U  m  y  a  S  ch  18:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Well in that case, no photograph can be accepted. Alizée's first single is titled "Moi Lolita". She has been called Lolita de la France. She has been named nymphet in various international articles. Alizée did not pose as THE Lolita, but as A Lolita.

If Alizée is not allowed to be representing an example of a nymphet, then who does? Before i made a few edits here, there was a poster of a film wich had absolutely no real reference to the subject other then a vaguely related story.

I agree ofcourse that relating one girl to this subject is not objective. Therefore i suggest no photopraphy at all. Frits van Houten 20:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * yep, i agree to your last statement. Thats why I removed the pic. -- so U  m  y  a  S  ch  18:55, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I considered this page quite crucial in my research for my postgrad MA. And the list of possible 'nymphs in culture,' although subjective did allow for an understanding of what may be perceived as a 'lolita'figure. This was important as I was discussing objectification and perversion. In short I understand that pics should be discouraged but I do not agree with any information being censored, just because it may offend some sensibilities. None of the comments or descriptions were sexual and merely indicated a general perception. I suggest we re-re-include the list on the basis that it allows us to gauge how these people are 'perceived' even if we in general do not.

The list was not crucial. It was filled with your averige women that held no relation to the term nymphet. Nabokov's Lolita is basically the only source as to the concept of nymphets, and it is quite critical about what is and what isn't a nymphet. Suggesting that Natalie Portman was a nymphet in "The Professional" would show that you know where to look for when searching for media-Nymphets. Not including Alizée showed a great serious lack of understanding where to look. It is not personal opinion to suggest them, as anyone who has read Nabokov's book can see that the looks for Natalie in "The professional" and Alizée in Moi... Lolita were based on the descriptions made by Humbert in Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. Frits van Houten 14:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Not all sex symbols look alike, and as such, not all nymphets look alike, either. Humbert's descriptions of a nymphet were his preferences in a nymphet, not really a generalized the description; the dictionary definition is "a pubescent female considered sexually attractive," and the young women on that list all fell under that definition.

Unrelated information.
I removed the bit about child sexuality, since it doesn't have any real connection to the term "nymphet", and is basically a topic on it's own, and the same goes for the Police song and the movie picture.

I also changed the first line wich said that nymphets are prepubecent girls. This information is incorrect, as when reading Nabokov, it is stated by Humbert that Nymphets are girls in the early days of puberty, roughly around the ages 11 to 14.

Prepubecent makes it sound as if nymphets are undeveloped children, and that just is not the case. The whole foundation of the concept and Nabokov's story, is that a nymphet is not a child and not an adult.

Unecessary censorship.
This page is constantly being reduced, instead of being expanded and discussed. This subject however disturbing to some of greater sensitivity, is an important aspect of understanding, not just Nabokov's book but also a huge slice of Japanese culture and also an underlying aspect of sexuality. I understand we must only include info relating directly to the term 'Nymphet' but the information deleted was in no way detrimental to the article and gave the subject and definition greater depth. Please lets make this Wiki better, not subject censorship. R3X.

The whole article about child sexuality was removed not because of cencorship, but because it holds no relation to the term 'Nymphet', and is an entire different topic on it's own.The awnser is quite simple: Puberty.

Nymphets are girls in the early days of puberty. Nymphets are not children. While they certainly are not adults yet, they are not children in the sense that their sexual behaviour is directly related to puberty. This is why the topic of child sexuality holds no relation to the topic of nymphets, as the concept of child sexuality is based on sexual behaviour BEFORE the onset of puberty, and is therefore not related to this topic. - Frits van Houten 13:40 31, May

That is fair enough, but I reiterate we should try and expand this wiki to incorporate other interpretations of the nymphet in subsequent works or films as long as they are DIRECTLY related to the term nymphet. Ihave begun to research this and I am sure we can find external sources to link to or at least quote that have used this term in this context.... R3X.

I must point out that the term nymphet, as coined by Nabokov, covers the ages of nine to fourteen only, and not only that, but as coined by Nabokov, it is a subjective label - only a nympholept can actually discern a nymphet. The list of alleged nymphets should not be here. None of the listed persons, irregardless of their having or not having been labeled "nymphet" by any publication or individual (other than Nabokov), are or were actually nymphets. There is no definition of the term other than that given in the novel. Implying that the ridiculously old (in the context of the term) maids on this list are nymphets misleads the reader into believing that a nymphet is any attractive woman younger than the individual observing her. The only criterion that makes any sense at all in judging who is a nymphet in popular culture would be that an actress or model plays a sexualized role or appears in a clearly sexual pose or position while she is between the ages of 9 and 14. I believe this would cover Natalie Portman and possibly Jodie Foster (don't know how old she was when she did Taxi Driver), and that's it. Lohan, Duff, Aguilera, Brooks, et al are simply women, because they did not enter the limelight until well out of the specified age range. Even Lolita herself is not called a nymphet once she exceeds 14 years old. eae 07:53, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I understand where you're coming from, BUT they weren't referring to all of them at their current ages; Mischa Barton was a nymphet when she was younger, not now. Same with most of the girls on the list. P.S. wikipedia requires sources, all of which were put on the list, but whatever. I respect your view.

Uh, no.
It's a POV term. If you link to a newspaper story where someone calls Jodie Foster a slut, it's still not okay to put her in a list entitled "Sluts in Hollywood." If you want to rework the list as "Instances of Popular Actresses Being Described as Nymphets by Movie Reviewers" and listing the reviewer judgments rather than citing them as grounds for applying the term as a category yourself, that would be fine.

However, I think you've clearly found enough sources to show that the word "nymphet," like "Lolita" as a general term, is now commonly applied to mature women rather than to tweens as it was originally meant. You may want to add a sentence to that effect.

Dybryd 18:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I had no idea that the word "nymphet" was derogatory like the word "slut" is. So are you saying now that the list isn't original research? I'm still not sure what you are suggesting we can do to improve this. I thought that the citing of the source made it obvious that it were those sources that were describing them with that word, so is it really a necessity to make it explicit in the section title? Putting "...Described as Nymphets by Movie Reviewers" in the section title would just be superfluous. Can you give me more examples of what you think can be done to improve it? Ospinad 20:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

 * It doesn't matter if it's derogatory or not, it's an evaluation. Someone up above said getting rid of the list of nymphets would mean getting rid of the list of sex symbols. Well, as it happens there is no List of sex symbols, List of attractive women over 40, List of ugly people aged 18-34, or any other equivalent. Dybryd 20:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Have you tried going straight to the sex symbol article? You can see dozens of them listed most of whom are not cited. For example,

 * Film's Golden Age sex symbols include 1930s stars Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow (the 'Platinum Blonde'), Mae West and Clark Gable. 40's and 50's icons Brigitte Bardot, Diana Dors, Ava Gardner, Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, Audrey Hepburn, Veronica Lake, Sophia Loren, Jayne Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe, Kim Novak, Jane Russell, Elizabeth Taylor, Lana Turner, Mamie Van Doren, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Rock Hudson and Robert Mitchum.

 * and that's not even half of the ones listed on that page. Besides, this is not a List of nymphets article we are talking about, we are talking about listing a few examples of nymphets in the already existing nymphet article, just like there are examples of sex symbols in the sex symbol article. And just to make sure I understand you correctly, you don't think anymore that the list is original research if the examples are sourced, correct? Ospinad 17:07, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Reading through the (quite good) article from American Sexuality you linked, I notice that the writer believes "only pedophiles believe in the existence of nymphets." We have no reason to endorse this sweeping judgment (especially given that the term is now applied mostly to adult women in their twenties!), but I think the statement clearly shows that to try to ascribe any objective status to it is POV. We can report the judgments of others as the judgments of others. Dybryd 20:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

 * none of the women on that list were referred to as nymphets past teenage. Some (like Brooke Shields, for instance) just happened to be on the list and are currently older than teenage.  The term "nymphet" was applying to them when they were teenagers--all of them had entered the public spotlight in their teen years.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.181.229.91 (talk) 02:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Correct me if I'm wrong but in the book Lolita doesn't Humbert say that only a nympholept can discern nymphets from other "normal" girls? Besides, like you said, even if the term was originally meant to only be applied to young pubescent girls, that term isn't limited to describing those age ranges anymore. So I don't see a problem with the examples in this list being being young women and not young teens.

''"We can report the judgments of others as the judgments of others."
 * Obviously. The fact that all the examples were sourced meant that it were those sources that called them nymphets, and not the opinion of Wikipedia itself. Ospinad 17:07, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't mean to be rude, I didn't reply to your latest because I didn't think you'd raised any further substantive points. I'm not sure what else to say to further discussion. You are correct that Sex symbol contains a lot of nonsense -- and, accordingly, it has tagged for reference and cleanup for the past year. I'm not going to clean up that article because I don't care about it, but as a fan of Nabokov, I have an interest in this one, and prefer to see it kept in better shape.

 * A further note, which may serve as a general guide to citation on controversial topics. If I write "George W. Bush is fool and a rogue" (or "a brilliant statesman") and source this judgment to a speech by Hillary Clinton (or one by Laura Bush), I have not successfully achieved NPOV!

 * Sourced information in encyclopedia articles is not supposed to represent the source's particular point of view -- it is supposed to represent an authoritative consensus. When describing points of view, we describe them as points of view, for example saying "George W. Bush has been harshly criticized by his political opponents," and then sourcing that. Dybryd 21:19, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * You have a funny way of twisting things. First of all, I never said that the sex symbol article had a lot of nonsense. All I said was that it had many examples that weren't sourced. I think it probably could be organized better but I don't think what is there is nonsense. They seem to think that all of those examples of sex symbols would be ok as long as they were sourced. You seem to think that examples of nymphets are not exceptable even if they were sourced, simply because it's an evaluative statement. Which is just rediculous. "Nothing to respond to?" How about answering the question that I've already asked you twice, which is how can a list of nymphets still be OR even when they are sourced, which was your first reason for removing the list. Or explain to me how a picture of this woman can be used as an example of the epitome of beauty without being POV? Ospinad 17:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

 * It can't. This is another example of a POV problem in an article I don't care about fixing. Dybryd 04:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Page numbers
This article makes numerous references to a single book, the first edition of Nabokov's The Annotated Lolita (introduced and annotated by Appel). Until 10 minutes ago, it didn't even start to say where among the lxxxvi +441 pages any of these referred to (or indeed whether it was Nabokov or Appel who was speaking). I've identified two of these; more needs to be done. -- Hoary (talk) 10:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Lack of information
It's pretty clear from reading the novel that being a nymphet is about precocious puberty and being sexually desirable, however there is no mention of it in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.198.222 (talk) 10:02, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
