Hubert Gautier

Henri Gautier, sometimes called Hubert Gautier (21 August 1660 – 27 September 1737) was a French engineer. He was born in Nîmes, France.

Career
Gautier initially trained as a medical doctor, turning to mathematics and finally engineering. He served as an engineer for 28 years in the province of Languedoc. He was appointed Inspecteur général des ponts et chaussées in 1713, and moved to Paris where he continued working until his retirement in 1731.

In 1716, he wrote the first book on building bridges, Traité des ponts. "The contractors do not hesitate to enrich themselves at the expense of the King or of those who work for them; & the engineers or inspectors of the works, on the contrary, have only in mind the honesty with which they act and to be highly esteemed; & they do not hesitate to regard the former as their enemies, when they are unfaithful."

- Hubert Gautier He died in Paris, France at the age of 77.

Publications
Gautier wrote several published works on engineering, civil engineering and geology.

Asociación de Guías y Scouts de Chile

“Asociación de Guías y Scouts de Chile” (AGSCH), established in 1978, represents a significant unification of the Scout Association of Chile (ASCH) and the Girl Guides Association of Chile (AGCH). Affiliated with both the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), AGSCH is actively involved in global initiatives that address critical social issues. These include health, nutrition, world peace, environmental conservation, and the integration of disabled individuals into society. This affiliation also endows AGSCH with consultative status with the United Nations on matters related to children and youth, and membership in the Scout Parliamentary Union, which comprises over thirty members in Chile.

The coeducational "Asociación de Guías y Scouts de Chile" has 28,055 members as of 2021.

History
In 1909, the second Scout Association in the world was founded in Chile. It was inspired by the direct influence of Robert Baden-Powell who visited the country that same year. The founder of the Chilean Scouting movement was Alcibíades Vicencio. The Girl Guide Association of Chile was founded in 1935. After a long process, the two national associations, the Chilean Scout Association and the Catholic Scout Federation merged in 1978 to form the Asociación de Guías y Scouts de Chile.

The Asociación de Guías y Scouts de Chile hosted the 19th World Jamboree at Picarquín in December 1999. This was the first World Jamboree in South America. Scouts de Chile hosted about 30,000 Scouts with 1,343 Chilean staff and 5,625 Chilean Scouts participating.

Program
Scouting in Chile has been a forerunner in social projects. The Asociación de Guías y Scouts de Chile have a center in the south, where they are involved in assisting poor children by providing meals, clothes and help with schooling. The ultimate goal of this project is to improve the conditions to the point where the children will be able to return home.

There is also a project in the poorer sections of Santiago. Several Scout groups have been formed for very poor children, giving them a meal a day and helping them to learn Scouting skills that will lead them to improve their living conditions. Programs have been established for disabled children. Scouts help with disaster relief. After one earthquake, Scouts took charge of shelters caring for thousands of victims.

Stowell Park

Stowell Park Estate is a 6000 acre historic agricultural and sporting estate in the Cotswold Hills, Gloucestershire, England. The estate includes the village of Yanworth. The main house is a Grade II* listed building and surrounded by extensive parkland, a mill, and a church. The landscaped park is listed as Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and GardensNow owned by good old king charlie.

History
The house was built around 1600 for Robert Atkinson, on the site of a previous house. The manor is first recorded in 1086 when it was held by the Archbishop of York. The house is Grade II* listed. The Church of St Leonard was the chapel for the owners of the previous house, having been built in the 12th century. The church has been described as "of very great interest, as it contains quite well-preserved fragments of twelfth-century wall-paintings". The estate was passed to relatives of Atkinson until 1685 when it was bought by John Grubham Howe whose descendants owned the estate until 1811 when it was bought by the judge William Scott. He took the title of Baron Stowell from the estate when raised to the peerage upon the coronation of George IV in 1821. On his death in 1824 the estate was inherited by his brother John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon and passed down through the family until sold in 1923 to 1st Lord Vestey, whose great-great grandson William Vestey, 4th Lord Vestey, is the current head of the family and Chairman of the Vestey Group. During World War II Stowell Park was used for evacuees from Great Ballard School.

Architecture
The main house is L-shaped. The west front is Elizabethan and has five bays as does the north front. Each is surmounted by hipped and crenellated roofs. The west front includes a door with paired Roman Doric pilasters. The current main entrance on the south front was added in the 19th century. The drawing room has panelling remaining from the 16th century.

Within the grounds is a 17th-century dovecote. The former mill powered by water from the River Coln was built in the late 18th century. The Lodge, iron gates and gate piers at the eastern entrance to the estate were added in the late 19th century, when balustrades and steps were added between the house and the lawns. The stable block, which was probably designed by Sir John Belcher, was also added in the late 19th century.

Grounds
The grounds include terraced lawns with surrounding herbaceous borders. There are walled gardens containing fruit and flower beds. It is opened for the National Gardens Scheme each year. The landscaped park is listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

The estate hosts shoots for pheasants. It has also been the home of a polo team with one of the players being the Argentine born Héctor Barrantes.

Hans Tiedge

Hans-Joachim Tiedge (24 June 1937 in Berlin – 6 April 2011 near Moscow) was a head of West Germany's counter-intelligence in the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) in Cologne. He was revealed to be an East German spy when he defected to the East on 19 August 1985. He had been recruited by Markus Wolf.

History
In the four years prior to his defection, he was responsible for tracking down East German spies, but with little success. In the same period, the East Germans captured 168 West German spies. He was thought to have defected for personal reasons, as he had not, apparently, been discovered. His treachery was called the most damaging of the Cold War for the Federal Republic of Germany, resulting in the recall of numerous West German agents still in the field and plunging the West German counterespionage service into ruins.

Questions were raised as to how Tiedge managed to hold on to his position despite serious debts, family issues and a drinking problem. It was suspected that his superior, Herbert Hellenbroich may have assisted him to hold his position. Hellenbroich resigned within weeks of the defection.

After German reunification Tiedge fled to Moscow where he lived under the name "Hans Ottowitsch".

Death
Hans died on 6 April 2011.

Tiedge's defection was mentioned in the Phoenix Force novel The Doomsday Syndrome in 1986.

Talk:F.E.A.R. (video game)

Akira Similarities in Vault Sequence
The sequence in the Vault, from entering it, descending down and finally opening Alma's cryogenic storage unit, is a carbon copy of the same sequence in AKIRA. Is this worth mentioning somewhere in here, or would it be rendered as Original Research? I think it's noteworthy as it is one of the major events of the game (ie. all games have sections inspired from other sources if you look hard enough, but this is a very distinct setup). 208.251.140.163 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC).

Level list
I've added a list of levels which the game F.E.A.R. contains, because I think it is a good idea to see how many levels the game contains and how it is structured. But the user called "Xihr" is deleting it every time without discussion and by simply referring to the wikipedia directive "WP:NOT#GUIDE". I've read it and I cannot see how adding a level list is hurting this directive. It's just a simple list, not a guide nor an advice nor an suggestion or something else what is conflicting the directive. It would be very nice if Xihr would explain it before he simply removes something by arbitrary behavior. I'm not playing a game with Xihr, I just don't' like it when someone simply delete the work of another one without consultation like in this discussion thread. 84.63.194.11 (talk) 09:55, 27 December 2008 (UTC) James
 * Well I'm a wee bit curious as to how the level list improves the article. Delta (talk) 02:29, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it's a "wee" improvement, but the point is, it doesn't hurt really, or does it? If it does so tell me, because then it makes me a wee bit curious. It was the last time I've added something here. You can make whatever you want with this article, I don't care anymore. I'm not getting paid for the time I've spend to "improve" any article here, especially when it's getting reverted back without proper reason. 84.63.197.143 (talk) 10:25, 28 December 2008 (UTC) James

 * It is still Wikipedia policy that this sort of thing is not appropriate for the project. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a game guide.  Xihr  08:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I've read the WP:NOT#GUIDE, too, but I also cannot see how a simple level list is conflicting this policy and directive. A list of levels has nothing to do with a game guide. If so, please tell me where you see this in the WP:NOT#GUIDE, Xihr, but please stop deleting the list by just simply appointing to the WP:NOT#GUIDE without telling the line you mean and that is possibly violated. It's very frustrating when you destroy the work of another just because you don't like it, and I doubt that anyone will keep improving this article if you keep stubborn and thankless. It's important that we can discuss about everything, but the teamwork ends, if someone decides everything by arbitrary behavior and is not willing to discuss.84.63.201.247 (talk) 12:49, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

 * If a list of levels is not a game guide, then what purpose does it serve? In terms of the article, how does it improve this article? If it doesn't improve the article, then it doesn't belong here. In Wikipedia, all the content added must be notable. Otherwise, anything could be added and it would cease to be an encyclopedia. Delta (talk) 23:28, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

 * A Guide is a kind of receipt, a kind of manual to play the game or to solve a problem. It's serves as an advice, a collection of hints if you get stuck in a game. A level list just shows, how the game is structured, how many level it contains and that it is a linear game, divided in chapters. Perhaps it's not a very notable improvement for you but I think it has the right to be added. And by the way, I haven't seen a PC game in any encyclopedia, so why don't you remove the whole article? You have no real reason to remove the list. As long as you don't tell me how it hurts the wikipedia directive WP:NOT#GUIDE I will keep adding it. Until now Xihr is the only one who is violating the policy by destroying my work. 84.63.192.113 (talk) 09:30, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * But where do you ever see level lists? I've only ever seen them in game guides. On a different note, I have yet to see how this level list improves the article. If it doesn't improve the article, it has every right to be removed. Delta (talk) 04:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Not to mention that it's well-established Wikipedia policy that this kind of thing is not appropriate. Disagreeing with consensus doesn't mean that it's changed.  Xihr  07:40, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Xihr, I'm not willing to discuss the policy with you again as long as you cannot point the exactly line in the policy that is violated from your point of view. I never said that I'm disagreeing with the wikipedia directive I just see that you misunderstood the policy. I think that I have annotated depletive the difference between level list and game guide above. Just because you keep stubborn doesn't mean that I have violated the policy. And now to the point with the improvement. Who decides this? Just you, Xihr and Delta? I thought that wikipedia is a team project, but it seems that both of you are believing that only you can decide what kind of improvements are allowed. And by the way, why don't you delete the plot summary? This is truly a violation of WP:PLOT, why don't you delete this? The plot summary is too detailed, too long to fit with the policy, but you are discussing with me about a simple level list. Some game guides are containing plot summaries, does this automatically mean that plot summaries are game guides? I don't think so. The level list is really not so important to me that it must be kept in this article, it just makes me angry that people like you are thinking that they can wipe out the work of others just because it doesn't fit in their personal concept. I spend some time to write something in this article and on the next day I have to see that it's been deleted without a reasonable explanation. Again, tell me, how the level list degrades the quality of this article and I delete it personally. But don't tell me something about violation against the wikipedia policy unless you tell me which line of the policy is violated.84.63.207.23 (talk) 10:59, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Here is an archived peer review in which level lists were discussed. Check out the Half-Life 2 article as well, you'll notice no level lists in there. In fact, check out this list of featured video game articles, and try to find one that has a list of levels in the article. I agree that I have yet to find an official policy explicitly stating that level lists aren't allowed, but Wikipedia policies and guidelines are much like the Constitution: not every single rule is explicitly stated. The policies and and guidelines are designed to be general and cover a wide range of topics. There are plenty of "rules" that have been defined by consensus in discussions; these just haven't been explicitly documented. On a different note, your comment about the plot summary is true; it's gotten quite bloated since I last saw it (which was about a year ago). You're welcome to improve it. Delta (talk) 17:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I believe you Delta when you say that there are no level lists in the articles you have mentioned. On the other way, does this automatically mean that adding level lists is a bad idea? Just saying that I cannot add a level list because other persons also don't do is not a good argument for me. It just means to me that adding a level list makes the F.E.A.R. article unique which means improvement for me ;-) No really, I'm still missing a good argument to remove the list, and I'm a little bit disappointed that you still can't give it to me when it is so obviously. Just saying it's not an improvement is not very constructive. You say it doesn't improve the article, but you didn't mention why. I'm happy that you agree with me that I have not violated the rules, because this is not my intention. The discussion Here also tells me nothing that could help us in this situation. I suggest something: Until you find a really good reason to remove the list, you should concentrate yourself to the real problem with the plot. You've also agreed that this is a real violation against the policy WP:PLOT. From my point of view this should be the first priority for this article. I will see if I can do something about that. As a first gesture of friendship I won't remove (like Xihr would do ;-) ) the whole plot because of the violation. ;-) I wish you a happy new year guys! 84.63.207.23 (talk) 18:29, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * The reason I pointed you to this discussion was because the Doom 3 article originally had a list of levels much like the one you are trying to add. The result of that discussion was that the list of levels were unnecessary because the plot summary was sufficient. In the case of the FEAR article, I say it doesn't improve the article because there is no useful information gleaned from a list of levels. If I were a random reader stumbling upon this article, there would be no benefit to me (the reader) by reading a list of levels. Is a list of levels significant? Do these level names refer to some grand theme or motif? If not, I don't really see a need for it's inclusion. With that in mind, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.Check out this Wikipedian's edit, and why it was reverted. Finally, see the discussion on video game article guidelines and the guideline itself, which states that it is inappropriate to include "lists of gameplay items, weapons, or concepts", in which list of levels falls under.
 * As a side note, I really do appreciate you being patient and taking time out of your day to engage in this discussion. I find that your edit was in good faith and you really were trying to help out. I have been trying to find the discussion in which it was decided that level lists are inappropriate, but I have been unable to find a single, all-encompassing page that states this consensus. However, all of the data that I have found so far has pointed me in the direction that a list of levels in an article is unnecessary and perceived as fancruft. I ask that you join me in this search, perhaps looking for a discussion it which it was acceptable for a list of levels to appear in an article. Delta (talk) 23:27, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * You've convinced me Delta. You've also been very patient and fair, and I really respect your opinion. I've just asked for was a reasonable explanation why the list should be removed, but Xihr's reaction wasn't adequate and helpful. The guideline is indeed a good argument that I can accept, so I will remove the list as I promised. At last we can work all together now to improve the plot summary ;-) 84.63.205.18 (talk) 09:48, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I quoted WP:NOT, which is policy. Xihr  02:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 * You have still quoted nothing, my friend. You just named the whole policy, but you haven't quoted a single line from the WP:NOT that matched our discussion. It doesn't matter anymore, because Delta convinced me after he found a valid argument, but in future you should learn how to argument exactly. You've accused me for something I haven't done, and I see, that you still don't understand or are not willing to and that you prefer to keep stubborn instead. 84.63.217.178 (talk) 08:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Since you've acknowledged that what you were doing was against consensus and policy and have removed it, why are you still going on about this? Xihr  00:06, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Xihr, you are really annoying. I haven't acknowledged that I was doing something against a rule. When I was doing so, why haven't you been able to show me which line of policy or else I had broken? I have removed the list, so why do you keep discussing here? Me personally want to make sure that something like this won't happen again. I mean that someone like you just remove something by arbitrary behavior without any discussion and argumentation. I've accepted Delta's answer because it really made sense and at least he was able to quote from some guidelines and discussions (no rules or policy terms btw), something you haven't been able to. You've failed and nothing what you have done was acceptable and helpful. For me, this discussion is over now. 84.63.194.51 (talk) 09:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Please WP:AGF. At least you've stopped violating policy against consensus.  Xihr  09:31, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

 * If you read it carefully, you will see that you've violated against more rules then me. Just read the last part of WP:AGF. ;-) Never mind! At least also you can learn from your failures. But keeping stubborn and discussing with me won't help and doesn't show good faith. And you've forgotten to quote the relevant line again. It's the same fault you've made from the beginning by just naming the whole policy, and not the relevant term. And btw, this discussion is over. If you want to discuss with me further I suggest you open a new thread, but this thread is reserved for the level list. So if you want to say some last words about this topic you're welcome, but if you just want to play a game, I suggest you do it somewhere else. 84.63.200.62 (talk) 09:45, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea why you're continually trying to remove this part of the discussions, except perhaps either to play WP:POINT games or to try to hide your embarrassment at the resolution. It certainly is not a case where WP:NOT can be invoked, since I was responding to your claims about what I had said (which were wrong, since I was quoting a policy, not a guideline), and we were discussing the actual policy and what you were doing wrong with respect to it. The added absurdity is that you're trying to remove a discussion which you yourself contributed to. I'd be happy to WP:AGF here but you're making it an itsy bit impossible. I would suggest you drop it since a WP:3RR case wouldn't look good when you're trying to remove someone else's responses to your own comments about their editorial actions regarding your edits and a discussion of the policy that led to those actions. Please move on; you are making yourself look exceedingly silly here. Xihr 23:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Xihr, you are obviously violating against Wikipedia police. I've already described why I've deleted you're unnecessary comments. I suggest YOU read the WP:DISCUSSION -> KEEP ON TOPIC again. "Irrelevant discussions are subject to removal". You are the only one who seems to play games. No comment you left since I agreed with Delta (which doesn't mean I've acknowledged that I violated anything you would like me to see) have been relevant or helpful. I explain it again, so that you can understand it: This thread is reserved to discuss about the level list. Perhaps someone else wants to add a level list for another game. This thread could then serve as an reference, to avoid equal discussions like that one. Your unnecessary comments are the only thing that looks embarrassing here. Nevertheless, it doesn't fit in this thread. I've agreed to delete the level list, I even deleted it by myself. So I suggest you do us and yourself a favor and stop playing games here by discussing with me about things that should be discussed on another thread then the "level list" thread, okay? 84.63.220.111 (talk) 16:06, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I really don't want to get involved in this, but I will have to ask that you both take this discussion somewhere else. This talk page is for the discussion on how to improve the article; it is not a place to discuss talk page guidelines. Please, take this to your own user talk pages or the discussion on these guidelines. I will not delete any portion of this thread, because I believe in preserving it for posterity, in case of (heaven forbid) a request for comment or even request for arbitration. I sincerely hope that this does not progress that far and that we can solve this dispute. Delta (talk) 22:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I was discussing the article. He mentioned by name in conjunction with my edits and I was explaining my actions.  He then started reverting that whole discussion.   It is not practical to take his talk pages since he's editing from dynamic IP addresses and has dozens of them.  Whatever, who cares, even if it goes to RfC nothing will come of it, so why bother?  Xihr  20:34, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree with you. I just wanted to make sure that this discussion thread would be closed with a final solution and mutual agreement, but Xihr made it impossible. I hoped that the discussion would be over after I deleted the level list which should have been the only topic here, and I already tried to explain Xihr that all unrelevant discussions should be placed in another thread than this. I just want to remember that the whole "conflict" started, when Xihr removed the level list without a valid explanation and giving me a chance by understand his "interpretation" of the Wikipedia policy. It would have been nice if he had written something helpful in this discussion, instead of naming some Wikipedia policies he caught up but without quoting some necessary lines. He just told which "rules" I have broken, but nothing of his comments have been a bit constructive. This behavior has really nothing to do with teamwork or fair play. 84.63.179.91 (talk) 23:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I understand completely that you are very frustrated with Xihr, and I am not trying to throw your thoughts aside by any means, but if you do have a problem with him, then I need to ask you to contact him on his talk page and tell him so. There is no need to point fingers at anyone; anyone who reads this thread will be able to clearly see what is happening/happened. Also, might I suggest creating a username so that it is easier to contact and help you? Thanks! Delta (talk) 00:51, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Anyone reading the thread can clearly see that he was violating policy, stopped doing so, apparently didn't appreciate that being pointed out, and then started reverting the discussion he was involved in. The discussion was about improving the article and why I made the reversions I made, so it's clearly not WP:NOT.  As if that weren't obvious enough, he was adding replies to the thread and then deleting the whole thread again.  That's beyond ridiculous; he's simply being disruptive.  I'm sure it's not an accident that he's editing from multiple dynamic IPs; now another SPA is contributing to the discussion at my talk page.  Come on, guys, it's pretty obvious what's going on here.  Xihr  20:34, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I know I'm eating my own words about keeping things on topic, but whatever. First and foremost,THE REVERTING NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. Specifically, I am talking to you, the IP address (is there something else we can call you?). Constantly reverting after making replies or reverting after other's replies is a big no-no. It makes things much more difficult to keep track of and consequently, this whole thing will never get worked out.

Now, as I understand it, Xihr was defending his edits and "IP Guy" argued with him about whether they were valid or not. Then, the discussion was 'closed', but IP Guy started reverting the page due to his opinion of WP:DISCUSSION. And here we are.

Reverting talk pages are usually frowned upon, unless the edits made are slanderous and offensive. Since none of that has happened (and it better not!), it's best to keep all of this (yes, all of this!) as a record. In terms of WP:DISCUSSION, removing irrelevant topics is more along the lines of taking out fanboy talk or things waaay off topic like the weather. Things related to the article, such as an editor defending his edits, is completely acceptable. Hopefully, this will settle things once and for all, and we can get back to editing the article. Delta (talk) 02:48, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, that is an accurate summary. Thanks for looking into it, Delta.  Xihr  05:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Delta, it sounds like you find Xihr's behavior acceptable. He was not defending, he was offending. And you must confess that nothing he has ever done was constructive, and I mean EVER. If you look on his page you can see that most of the time he spends here is reverting articles from others. If there is a reason to revert something it's okay, but doing this without explanation is vandalism, like in my case. After he reverted it many times I've started this thread to discuss it. He defended himself by accusing me of violation of some Wikipedia policy. This policies are existing, but it's pretty obviously that he don't know the content of it, or is not willing to understand it. In this discussion he was never willing to show good faith. He kept accusing me of something, but he never quoted a relevant line of the policy he was referring to. But this is important, because this rules are not written in stone, and they could be interpreted in another way. It's not obviously what's right or wrong, but he insisted to see me as a violator instead to explain his point of view exactly with reasonable arguments. Is this really the way things should be handled here? I'm new here, and surely I make faults, but everyone who reads this thread can see that I'm willing to learn. At least I've removed the level list by myself after you, Delta, convinced me with reasonable arguments. To leave this thread clean and to avoid what finally happened (thanks Xihr) I was deleting everything what was out of topic after I agreed with you and deleted the level list. This was the topic, and the discussion should be over after we found a consensus. Xihr seemed to be unsatisfied, perhaps because I deleted the level list and not him. Nevertheless, I've explained my actions by referring to the WP:DISCUSSION -> KEEP ON TOPIC. But this seems to be a rule that could be broken from Xihr's point of view by transforming it into a personal discussion thread. And then he accused me of defacing it. That's what I call self parodying. Accusing others to violate rules by breaking the rules by himself, really funny.

Explain me, why newcomers like me should do anything here, when everyone would act like Xihr? You can still call me IP-Guy, because I won't create an account here. It's not worth the effort to do anything here again so long guys like Xihr are reverting things by arbitrary behavior without explanation, and can make their own rules. Don't you also think that someone who is referring so much like him should also act in the way? I'm out of it. It's pretty hopeless since there is no way to communicate in a reasonable way to Xihr. I hope at least you are happy with this result. Or in other words, that you should understand as a gamer: YOU WON! GAME OVER! 84.63.184.144 (talk) 11:40, 9 January 2009 (UTC) The IP-Guy

 * This guy's just parroting back almost exactly the same phrases I've used during the course of the discussion. It isn't even a very clever troll.  Xihr  21:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 * This one makes me curious now: You are calling him a troll? Just because he don't have an account here? Have you seen how many people are inserting here without accounts? Are they all trolls? Am I a troll? I don't think that it's very clever from you to evade his arguments by insulting him. But hey, I'm just a guy without an account, so please go on. I wonder what the admin would say if he would see this funny discussion here. This has been gone really a little bit beyond the topic, hasn't it guys? Perhaps there should be found an adequate way to resolve this dispute, because it seems that this will go on and on and on. 75.144.244.156 (talk) 11:01, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Since this is the only edit you've ever made on Wikipedia and it's to this obscure dispute (which has already been resolved, no less), no, there isn't much reason to take your contributions very silly. Xihr

Just for information: If you read Xihr's talk page carefully, you will see that he is known for making troubles with other users, e.g. in the discussion "Sade Adu" he already had trouble with an admin, Tabercil. Most of the discussion are about unexplained and invalid reversions. And I've seen that he deleted comments from IP-Guy, which was unacceptable in this thread. I think that the Wikipedia rules are also valid for his discussion page, so stop deleting comments immediately! 193.100.62.28 (talk) 12:04, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Nice try, as the issue is clearly detailed on his talk page, my talk page, and the actual edit history of the Sade Adu article. I don't think anyone's really going to buy this obvious sock attack from coordinated SPAs, but hey, knock yourself out.  You're the one who's going to run afoul of admins, not I.  Xihr  23:03, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Interesting is, that you accused IP-Guy for violating the same WPs that Tabercil was accusing you. And also interesting is, that it is not the first time that someone accused you for not knowing the Guidelines and that you are not listening. Here some quotes from the user Swampfire:

 * "...You're wrong I understand BLP and I also understand your misuse of it. And I am no where near messing with almost all of your reverts. Just the ones I know a few things about. Especially when you do nothing to help the page. In most cases it would take you less than a minute to fix a problem. But for some reason you don't feel like helping improve. In fact you spent more time creating discussion with me, than it would take to fix the problem...Swampfire (talk) 19:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)"

 * and

 * "...You're not understanding, There are several times, where what you did. Does not fall under BLP. But you try to say it does. Removing a valid citation that pointed to the exact page, with the words on it. Is going completely against BLP, and yet in some cases you do it anyway. When removing content without proper cause (meaning you say it is BLP, when it obviously isnt) is considered vandalizing....Swampfire (talk) 19:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)"

 * Sounds familiar? BTW, why are you deleting comments on your talk page? I thought this was a big NO? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.100.62.28 (talk) 08:27, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Since you quoted him talking about BLP in there, maybe you could figure it out yourself. (The admin in question was similarly telling him to stop making the edits, too.)  You are really not even trolling very convincingly.  Why not give it up already?  Xihr  05:27, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

 * "...I seen you and Swampfire are in the midst of an edit war on this article. Please stop reverting each other and take the discussion to the talk page first to hash out your disagreements. Further blind reverts will lead to page protection and/or edit blocks, neither of which I want to levy. Tabercil (talk) 04:27, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

 * That is precisely what I have tried to do.[8]. After all, I solicited your advice on your talk page.[9] He is demanding citations on ridiculous things, and when I give in and provide them, he is still reverting them. WP:3RR doesn't apply to vandalism or abuse. Xihr  06:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

 * If you take a look, I have issued identical warnings to both of you. I'm trying to be a neutral party here, though I will say that I do think you are more likely in the right than Swampfire is. Tabercil (talk) 12:50, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

 * He just reverted the edits again, despite WP:3RR, his clear abuse, and your warnings. Since I got the threat too, I guess there's no point in users trying to rein in ridiculous WP:POINT behavior on Wikipedia anymore. If I'm going to get threatened for doing that, I have no choice to let him WP:OWN and do whatever he wants in the article. Have fun; he's your problem now. Xihr  19:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I saw your most recent comments on that page... hold off on making any hasty decisions, okay? I'm currently at work and that limits what I can do. Tabercil (talk) 21:18, 17 December 2008 (UTC)..."

 * You can say what you want, but nobody will believe you anymore. You aren't the unguilty victim, you are also a passionated reversion and edit warrior. There is no room for you here anymore, so go with god, but go! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.63.213.21 (talk) 10:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Protip: The only way to ensure the end of a discussion is to end it yourself. That means stop talking, and let them have the last word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.152.148.234 (talk) 05:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Plot Summary
A good point was brought up in a discussion. The current plot summary is way too in-depth and detailed for what's appropriate according to WP:PLOT. I propose reverting the plot section back to this one, as I feel it was concise, had plenty of references and wasn't overly detailed Delta (talk) 16:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Downloadable Content
I have noticed recently that the downloadable content from the Xbox 360 version is now missing. Would anyone have info on this? 72.223.63.169 (talk) 06:00, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

epileptical effects on playing the game
recently i expierienced some strange motions like dizyness,... wich i expierienced the first time after playing call of duty,... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.196.67.188 (talk) 11:03, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a warning about that on pretty much every single video game released in the past 5 years. AlessaGillespie (talk) 08:37, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Sequel
FEAR 2 has been released, this article says that it has been announced. That needs to be updated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.152.148.234 (talk) 05:37, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Editing needed
f.e.a.r 3 is in testing and is soon to be released and as mentioned before this article only states that the sequel is soon to be released, I agree that this article needs editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.196.76 (talk) 02:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Proposal to revert back to 2007
The article is a wreck—barely C-class, currently. Back in 2007, it was a pretty strong A-Class article for the time. A straight revert would probably improve the article, but perhaps some of the newer content could stay. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 01:57, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation page needed
There is an upcoming album named "F.E.A.R." by Papa Roach that is not mentioned in the upper section of this article. I believe there is now a need for a proper disambiguation page that would link to all the F.E.A.R. articles. --149.156.157.66 (talk) 11:52, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Contested and opposed. Doesn't meet WP:NCVG requirement. Original game is the still the primary topic. --The1337gamer (talk) 17:42, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 3 main games (F.E.A.R. (video game), F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, F.E.A.R. 3), 2 expansions (F.E.A.R. Extraction Point, F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate) and 1 related item (Alma Wade) DO meet the WP:NCVG requirements. This has to be done. Neverrainy (talk) 17:47, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Try reading WP:NCVG again and properly. It says as well as at least one other unrelated video game or related media item.. Alma Wade is a character in the game, not a media item.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting to add F.E.A.R. (series) into the requested move/dated template since the aforementioned page was never tagged with a move request template (done by a bot). Hoping this brings in more input to this discussion.
 * Queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:44, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. Makes sense. At this point the first game does not receive more page views than all other topics (including the third game, which was sold as "F.3.A.R." and as such is pretty confusingly titled considering the first game).|F.E.A.R._2:_Project_Origin|F.E.A.R._(series)|F.E.A.R._3 Placing the series at the base name makes sense per WP:CONCEPTDAB. The WP:NCVG requirements such as the "related item" bit are not at all intuitive and should probably be changed to align with WP:CONCEPTDAB.--Cúchullain t/ c 17:37, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943  (talk) 15:03, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think the original game is still the primary topic, per The1337gamer, considering the series is just the three games, and is of little interest independent of those. The page views also bear that out, with the game receiving 2.5 times that of the series.|F.E.A.R._(series) — Amakuru (talk) 15:34, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Requested move 19 August 2019

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. The arguments are equally convincing, but the headcount is much more in favour one way than the other. For what it's worth: yes, people do recall the first game the most, and they might recall the sequel, but not the threequel. But on the other hand, I think WP:NCVGDAB is a good guideline to follow in these cases. (closed by non-admin page mover) Sceptre (talk) 01:55, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

– Not sure why the last move request failed. Pageviews indicate that the series page and other games in the series get roughly 200 views daily while the F.E.A.R. article gets around 400, indicating that many people are probably getting brought to the first game when they just want info on the series. It makes sense to move the series page to the main namespace, as all the games are clearly notable in some respect. ,, , , as involved in the last move attempt.

 * Oppose. Proposal argument fails to recognize that vast majority of page views are driven by Google and users are going directly to the pages they want. If you Google for “F.E.A.R. game” the results give you the option to click on either this page or the series. What the page view counts show is most people are choosing this page; it’s the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. —В²C ☎ 05:35, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:NCVGDAB: Naming conflicts often arise between a video game and a series based on it. The conflict should be settled according to the disambiguation guidelines and the specific conventions below. In many cases, the series will be the primary topic as a broad concept article covering all the related uses, including the original game. In such cases, the series should take the base name while the video game article is disambiguated. I don't see why this article should be an exception, on the contrary, available evidence indicates it should not. No such user (talk) 09:12, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Question: Why put the name "F.E.A.R" in the series name instead of the game? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:14, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Usually it's done when the chance of a visitor typing the name in search of information on the series is greater than the chance they are looking for the first game in the series. Which is the case with most long running game series, besides those with extremely famous first games, like Bioshock. For example, most people who type Metroid are looking for the Metroid series, not the very first NES game.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:57, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment This is the BioShock case. F.E.A.R. typically refers to the first game, because it is a classic of the genre, and the others aren't. Search for conversation on the game and the series, and you'll find it mostly talking about the original. This Eurogamer article for example, this reddit thread for example - https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/7s24fi/fear_13_years_later/. No one is going to look back on F3AR 13 years later. The FEAR sequels are significantly less important compared to the original than the BioShock sequels. - hahnch e n 11:07, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose - nothing has changed since last time. The original game is still |F.E.A.R._(series)|F.E.A.R._2:_Project_Origin|F.E.A.R._3 overwhelmingly the primary topic by page views, between itself, the series and the sequels. And as the original and most viewed of the games is likely to have long-term significance too. Using the series as a broad-concept might make sense if there was equal interest in the different things, but given most users want the original game, it's best to keep the status quo and take them there, with the others available via hatnotes. — Amakuru (talk) 14:34, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned in the nom, there is no reason to believe those pageviews aren't from people searching for the series, since the page is in the primary namespace. I'm not sure how that makes a valid argument that the first game is the primary topic.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:45, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Support as per No such user. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:08, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose - As per Amarkuru. Most people want the original game, hence the |F.E.A.R._(series)|F.E.A.R._2:_Project_Origin|F.E.A.R._3 pageview charts. If people genuinely wanted the series article, you'd see a lot greater percentage traffic to the series article, or the disambiguation page. - hahnch e n 18:48, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Critters Buggin

Critters Buggin is a Seattle, Washington-based instrumental group which performs in a jazz, rock and African-influenced, eclectic style. The band is composed of Matt Chamberlain (drums, percussion, piano, programming, synths, loops, samples and digital editing), Skerik (saxophones, keyboards, loops, samples, effects and guitar), Brad Houser (bass, baritone saxophone, bass clarinet and electronics) and Mike Dillon (vibraphone and percussion).

Music
Critters Buggin defies categorization because of their diverse musical styles. Reviews tend to describe their music as a combination of jazz, rock, funk and electronica. When asked to describe their music in 1994 Chamberlain stated that it is "jazzy, funky, rocky.... it has African rhythms, too." Houser stated it is "African, industrial, tribal music."

While also reviewed in terms such as unique and adventurous, a 2008 review in The Seattle Times described them with such diverse terms as unorthodox, unhinged, tribal, unpredictable, mesmerizing, loud, abrasive, dissonant and ultimately satisfying.

History
The group began with Matt Chamberlain and Skerik who were later joined by Brad Houser, thus forming a trio in early 1993. John Bush joined soon afterward, and the group gave their first live performance using the "Critters Buggin" name in May 1993 at the Seattle club The Colourbox. Chamberlain, Houser and Bush were all from the then-disbanded Edie Brickell & New Bohemians. Skerik came from another Seattle group, Sadhappy. Their live success was followed by the release of their first album which was produced by Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam on his then new label Loosegroove. The original Critters Buggin trio continued with several guest musicians, including Mike Dillon. Chamberlain and Dillon had both played in the locally popular Dallas, Texas band Ten Hands in the 1980s. All except Skerik were part of the Deep Ellum, Dallas, Texas scene through the early 1990s. By 1998 Dillon had joined Critters Buggin as a fourth member, thus forming the current line-up as of a July 2008 tour.

In 2007 Critters Buggin released the DVD, Get the Clackervalve and the Old Clobberd Biscuits Out and Smack the Grand Ham Clapper's Mother. It is a live set filmed and recorded during the Warsaw Summer Jazz Days 1999 performed in The Palace of Culture and Science of Warsaw, Poland.

Critters Buggin Trio (2006)
In 2006 Skerik, Dillon and Houser toured as Critters Buggin Trio. In the 2007 the trio toured as The Dead Kenny G's and were reviewed as uniquely "combining jazz, rock, punk, funk and world music." In October 2009 they released a debut CD Bewildered Herd. The trio toured with Primus in 2010 and released the CD Operation Long Leash in 2011.

MT-12

MT-12 or 2A29 is a Soviet smoothbore 100 mm anti-tank gun, which served as the primary towed anti-tank artillery in the Soviet army from the early 1970s to the late 1980s. It is in significant use in the Russo-Ukrainian War (2014–present).

History
The 100 mm anti-tank gun T-12, which had entered service in 1961, proved very successful. Its shortcomings had to do with its use of the carriage of the 85 mm anti-tank gun D-48. This was so narrow that the T-12 was prone to topple over its side and could only be towed through the terrain at 15 km/h. Also, the equilibrator had to be redesigned, as described below. Together with some lesser considerations, this led to the development of the T-12A, later known as MT-12, GRAU-index 2A29.

Carriage
The carriage is the main difference between the MT-12 and the T-12. Its track width is 1.91 m instead of only 1.465 m, and it has a more robust suspension. This allows the MT-12 to be also towed by the tracked MT-LB, instead of only by a truck. The conditions in Russia itself, with few roads and a terrain that turns to mud at least once a year, explain how important tracked movement is.

The new carriage also allowed the MT-12 to be towed through the terrain at 25 km/h instead of only 15 km/h. On the left arm of the carriage is a castering wheel which can be unfolded. It allows the 7-men crew to manhandle the 3,000 kg gun over short distances without the use of a towing vehicle.

The equilibrator of the MT-12 differs from that of the T-12. An equilibrator serves to keep the gun in balance, even while the barrel weight on both sides of the trunnion differs. This allows easy elevation of the gun barrel. The MT-12 uses a very prominent coil spring equilibrator. Standing behind the gun, the barrel has a single tube above it in the same position on each side, running almost from the shield to the breech block. These two tubes are part of the recoil system. Above the right tube is another tube at a slightly different horizontal angle, this is the equilibrator. It is a heavy and bulky thing compared to the much smaller pneumatic equilibrator of the T-12, but is also more reliable and user-friendly. On the rear view, the equilibrator has a lid with six bolts at its end. It presence allows easy discrimination between the T-12 and the MT-12.

In order to accommodate the larger weight of the MT-12, its carriage has bigger wheels. These are the same as those of the ZiL-150 truck. The wheels are also helpful to tell T-12 and MT-12 apart. That of the T-12 is secured by six bolts. The wheel of the MT-12 is secured by eight bolts.

The 100 mm 2A29 gun
The 100 mm caliber gun has a 6,300 mm long barrel. The chamber is 915 mm long. The end of the barrel is strengthened and has 80 holes. It serves as a muzzle brake. The semi-automatic breech block system consists of opening and closing cylinders and a transfer system. The breech block has a safety system that prevents the gun from firing if the breech is not completely closed. Together with cartridge ammunition the semi-automatic loading system results in a high rate of fire of up to 14 rounds per minute.

Optics and aiming
The MT-12 has multiple sights, which can all be installed at the same time. The gun shield has three panels which can be folded away to allow usage of one of the sights, or remain closed when that sight is not needed. When the enemy is still at distance, the crew might open all three observation panels of the shield to allow use of the panoramic periscope sight of the S71-40 mount. This allows the gunner to scan for targets. While doing so, the gun-shield still protects his body. Only the part of his head protected by his helmet gets exposed.

In close combat only the small vertical panel that forms a loophole for direct fire observation is opened. Behind it, the OP4M-40U sight is mounted. This has a 5.5 times magnification and an angle of view of 11 degrees. Closing the other panels allows the crew to move behind the shield without risk of getting hit by small arms fire from enemy infantry or tanks.

The gun also has a passive night sight. At first this was the APN-5-40, later the APN-6-40 known as Brusinka (Cranberry). As these do not use power, these are very big and vulnerable devices. They were therefore dismounted before transport, and only attached to the gun before dusk if the gun was in position. The MT-12 can also use other night sights, like the 1PN35, 1PN53, or APN-7.

For indirect fire aiming, the MT-12 is equipped with the S71-40 mechanical artillery sight, PG-1M panoramic telescope and the K-1 collimator sight.

Anti-tank shot
Against tanks, the MT-12 can fire armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds. The HEAT shot has more penetration, but can easily be defeated by measures like reactive armour and composite armour. The APFSDS round relies on a (high) terminal velocity at impact and after that on its length. This makes the APFSDS directly dependent on the power of the gun that fires it.

By the mid-1990s modern tanks had a frontal armor protection of between 800 and 900 mm of rolled homogeneous armor (RHA). With the ammunition then at its disposal, the MT-12 could not expect to penetrate such armor. In this respect, the 100 mm caliber gun had reached its physical limits.

Tube fired anti-tank missile
In 1981 the tube-fired missile weapon system 9K116 Kastet entered service. The shot fires a laser guided missile often designated as 9M117 Bastion. It has a reduced powder charge that makes the missile leave the barrel at about 450 m/s. 1.5 seconds later, the rocket motor ignites. As it reaches its target at maximum range, the speed is only about 300 m/s. The target is found by riding a laser beam. The laser guidance unit for the Kastet system is mounted on a separate tripod. By the mid-1990s, the Kastet was also no longer able to defeat the frontal armor of modern tanks, as can be seen from the claimed armor penetration of the missile and its upgrades:

 * 3UBK10, a 9M117 Bastion missile. Claimed average armor penetration of 550 mm rolled homogeneous armour equivalency (RHAe) after ERA
 * 3UBK10M, 9M117M Kan Tandem HEAT missile. Claimed average armor penetration of 600 mm RHAe after ERA
 * 3UBK23, 9M117M1 (Russian) Arkan Tandem HEAT missile with extended range of 6,000 m. Claimed average armor penetration of 750 mm 550 mm RHAe after ERA
 * The Stugna or Skif (Ukrainian) portable ATGM fires a 130 mm rocket, but also has a 100 mm tube launched variant. This has a claimed range of range of 5,000 m, and a claimed average armor penetration of not less than 550 mm RHAe after ERA.

Shot against soft targets
The MT-12 also fires High Explosive (HE) shells. These are an absolute necessity for an anti tank gun to defend itself against enemy infantry. For combat in general, the HE-shells can be used to combat enemy infantry and soft targets like trucks or enemy artillery.

Default ammunition stock
The default ammunition stock of the MT-12 when towed by the MT-LB was twenty rounds. These were ten solid armor-piercing rounds (BPS), six HEAT shaped-charge rounds (KS) and four high-explosive grenades (OFS) for use against “soft” targets.

MT-12K
The MT-12K, or 2A29K has a laser device for guiding the 9M117 missile shot fired by the 9K116 Kastet system, see above. It is not clear whether simply adding the separate tripod mounted guiding device turns an MT-12 into an MT-12K. The MT-12K was not exported by the Soviet Union.

MT-12R
The MT-12R or 2A29R was taken into service from 1981 to 1990. It has the small 1A31 Ruta radar fire control system. This does automatic target detection, range finding, tracking and engagement at distances up to 3,500 m. It enables the gun to quickly find and hit targets at night, and in other conditions of poor or no visibility. The MT-12R was not exported by the Soviet Union.

Self propelled variant
In Ukraine, a self-propelled variant of the MT-12 mounted on an MT-LB has been reported. Inspection of the footage shows that the first such conversion made by locals, used a T-12, not an MT-12. The gun mask (shield part below the gun) is that of a T-12. Furthermore, the videos do not show the big MT-12 equilibrator on the gun. A later version made by Ukrtransgazu also shows no such equilibrator, but two more specimens might use the MT-12.

Algerian MT-12 on truck
In 2017, the Algerian military displayed a locally developed variant mounting an MT-12 on a Mercedes-Benz Zetros truck. It includes four stabilization legs to absorb firing impacts.

Intended use
In the Soviet Union the MT-12 entered production in 1970. Just like the T-12, the MT-12 was used in anti-tank battalions of 18 guns, divided in 3 batteries of 6 guns each. This was the organizational structure for these guns during the entirety of the Cold War. However, if enough missile tank destroyers were available, one of the batteries would be replaced by one of 9 anti-tank guided missile platforms (ATGM).

During the Cold War the Soviet Union thought of the MT-12 as a defensive and expendable weapon. It was cost-effective, meaning that a lot of them could be produced and deployed. It could be entrenched, and due to its low height, it could easily be concealed to strike from a short distance. This use was intended to free up tanks and self-propelled guns for more important duties.

At the time that the MT-12 and its predecessor the T-12 entered service the capability to fire HE-shells was common to most anti-tank guns. These HE shells could be used in direct fire and in indirect fire. In the latter, the MT-12 serves as an artillery weapon. However, the limited elevation of the MT-12 of only 20 degrees limits its range as an artillery weapon. This is only about 8.2 km.

Use in 2014-2015
The use of the MT-12 and other towed anti-tank guns has been studied in some detail for the War in Donbas (2014–2022) up to 2017. In the Donbass, the T-64 was the most common tank. The MT-12 can penetrate its frontal armor at shorter distances. However, before the front lines stabilized after the Ukrainian defeat in the August-September 2014 Battle of Ilovaisk, the MT-12 was rarely seen, because maneuverable warfare prevented its wide employment. From September 2014 to February 2015 it then played a significant role. It was seen on both sides during the January-February 2015 Battle of Debaltseve. The final 2017 conclusion about the towed anti-tank gun was that: 'Moreover, its ability to be used in indirect fire makes the weapon ideally suited for the prolonged positional warfare that dominates the last two years of the Ukrainian conflict.

Current use (2022-2023)
At the start of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Army still used both MT-12 and MT-12R, and the Russian proxies still used the MT-12.

On the Ukrainian side, the Territorial Defense brigades, composed of local volunteers, have been issued MT-12 guns. The MT-12 might give these reserve units a chance against Russian armor. However, it seems that while the first line units of the Ukrainian army use rocket artillery in direct fire, and the 2S1 Gvozdika in indirect fire, the MT-12 does both for the territorial defense units. The indirect fire capability was already significant in 2017. A video of the national guard firing the gun in actual combat indeed shows it being used at near maximum elevation. All this shows that in practice, the MT-12 is now widely used as a support gun. This was also reported about the self propelled variant, which has been given an increased elevation.

On the Russian side, a train load of MT-12s was pulled from storage and sent to the front in March 2023. Russia was expected to use these to increase artillery availability on the front. However, in mid-April two MT-12s were observed and destroyed while in an anti tank position, feeding speculations that Russia was experiencing a lack of ATGMs.

Talk:Grigory Zinoviev

Old talk
"Zinoviev took virtually no part in the October revolution, and Lenin did not forget his faint-heartedness, eventually mentioning it his Testament." This is a biased statement in violation of the POV rule. Zinoviev opposed the October 17 coup on democratic grounds, not cowardice or "faint-heartedness." Somebody really needs to go though Wikipedia's Russian history entries and remove all the Leninist propaganda.

Untitled

 * A Google search traced the use of the term "faint-heartedness" back to the "Notes" section of the Marxists.org reprint of Lunacharsky's "silhouette" of Zinoviev. Zinoviev/Kamenev's disagreement with Lenin/Trotsky in October 1917 was mostly tactical, but I changed the Wiki wording from "faint-heartedness" to "behavior" to ensure NPOV. Ahasuerus 12:29, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Categories
My links to the Jewish categories do not work. Could someone mend them, please?

Family in the US?
Would you happen to have a source for the information about Zinoviev's relatives currently living in the US? I am aware of a reference in the Soviet archives to one of his in-laws, a college instructor, losing his job in 1954 (sic!) due in part to his link to Zinoviev, but what's the source for the US connection? Ahasuerus 00:53, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Is Anne Applebaum the daughter of Zinoviev's son? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.181.233.232 (talk) 00:39, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Since Anne Applebaum's father was born in 1938, it is most unlikely that he was the son of Zinoviev, who was shot in 1936. RolandR (talk) 11:29, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Periodization
I have serious problems with the periodization of Zinoviev's biography here, which emphasizes his various turns and machinations as a factional leader rather than his actual behavior as a political figure. Zinoviev was, in turns, a chief theoretician of the Bolshevik faction along with Lenin (pre-1917), a figure of the revolution (1917), a figure of the Civil War (1918), head of the Communist International (1919-1925 or something), de facto first among equals as head of the Soviet regime (with Kamenev and Stalin), and THEN a political oppositionist.

Coverage of Zinoviev as Comintern chief and as political chief is really quite poor. I'd recommend a reperiodization coupled with a substantial re-write.

In fact, that why we registered with our business name to avoid any misunderstanding of who we are or our intentions.

As in the sample above, our content is targetted for GCSE/High school level students. All of our content is history related. My daughter, who's now 17, created this website to make it easier for the student to prepare to revise. While Wikipedia is great, there are 2 issues for high school/GCSE students.

1- the language is often more complicated than they can handle. 2- the content far exceeds what is needed to know for their revision.

Essentially, they are overwhelmed with content that they cannot really use Wikipedia. So with the help of 25 active teachers, we created content that is easy to understand and only what a teenage student is expected to know.

Our goal by submitting these links is for students who come to Wikipedia and want a student-friendly summary of this content. All of our content is free and no student is will have to pay for it. We have a total of 1800 pages similar to the one above.

I'm writing this knowing that we don't have backlink benefits but we believe students world-wide would hugely benefit from having concise information only a click away from #1 website in the world.

Happy to talk about this in details.

Expulsion from the Party
How many times was he expelled from the Party? The article appears to say four times but if this is true I think a slight amendment is required. If it was only three times one of the four dates needs to be deleted.Spinney Hill (talk) 12:29, 9 October 2022 (UTC).

Freemasonry
To the query "membership of grigorij zinov'ev in the freemasonry", the answer of ChatGPT is the following: "There is some speculation and debate among historians regarding the potential membership of Grigory Zinoviev in the Freemasonry. Zinoviev was a Bolshevik revolutionary and a close associate of Vladimir Lenin during the early years of the Soviet Union. Like many members of the Bolshevik leadership, Zinoviev was publicly critical of the Freemasonry and other secret societies. However, some sources suggest that he may have been a member of the organization earlier in his life, before joining the Communist Party. There is some evidence to suggest that Zinoviev was associated with a Masonic lodge in Switzerland in the early 1900s, before he became involved in revolutionary politics. However, the exact nature of his involvement with the Freemasonry is unclear, and there is no definitive proof that he was a member. It is worth noting that during the Stalin era, many former Freemasons were accused of being enemies of the Soviet state and subjected to harsh persecution. This may have led some former members to deny any involvement with the organization, even if they had been members in the past. As such, the question of Zinoviev's potential membership in the Freemasonry remains a matter of speculation and debate." 82.50.120.25 (talk) 20:40, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * There's speculation (apparently), but so what? He might have attended the synagogue at some time. He might have been a Freemason. We don't know and I don't see why we should care.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:25, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Name Change (2009)
Should the name for this article be changed to "In Vitro (fiction)" or "In Vitro (race)" or something? The capitalization distinction from "In vitro" is a little confusing, especially for a minor article. Quantumelfmage (talk) 18:47, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

David Jasper

David Jasper (born 1 August 1951) is a Professor Emeritus of Literature and Theology at the University of Glasgow.

Jasper received multiple degrees from Oxford in both English and Theology. He graduated in English from Jesus College (BA, 1972; MA, 1976) and in Theology from St Stephen's House (BTh, 1975; MA, 1979). He was ordained deacon in 1976 and priest in 1977. He later completed his doctorate at Durham University (Hatfield College), where he also served as Chaplain until 1988.

He was a founder of the Conference on Literature and Religion at Durham University in 1980. Since then, a series of international meetings have been organised every other year by the organisation, providing a forum for the inter-disciplinary study of literature and theology in contemporary Europe. Jasper was Principal of St Chad's College from 1989 to 1991, leaving to become Dean of Theology at Glasgow. His recent research has been into some of the earliest of Christian theologians, hermits and Desert theology. On 26 January 2007 Jasper received an honorary doctorate by the Faculty of Theology at Uppsala University, Sweden.

In 2014 Jasper became priest in charge of St Cuthbert's Church in Cambuslang, combining this job with his academic work.
