Opium Den
There is no such thing an album by this name released by a band called Tool, meaning that it is not an official release. -- Mike Garcia | talk 01:41, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment; Unofficial release? I would need more info as I have no clue what that entails. It seems that all other releases by that band have articles though | Celcius 01:48, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The album is just a rare release (like a bootleg, etc.) and I do not think rare releases should be posted at this site. -- Mike Garcia | talk 01:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Vote pending Delete. If I understand Mike Garcia correctly, then this album was put out by someone other than Tool or Tool's record label, and is essentially a glorified mixtape. Unless there is a claim to notability above and beyond that, I will vote to delete. Fernando Rizo T/C 02:11, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Changing my vote to delete in light of el Che's research. Fernando Rizo T/C 04:08, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Vote pending; I second Fernando with a Delete vote on stated premises | Celcius 02:27, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Tool's official website doesn't list it (damn Flash) and this site refers to it as a "bootleg" (near bottom).
 * It deserves a mention on the Tool (band) page, being so notable for a bootleg, but as a standalone I vote delete. - Che Nuevara, the Democratic Revolutionary 03:41, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above research. Dottore So 05:12, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Fernando Rizo, this is basicly a "glorified mixtape" — Linnwood 05:20, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn fan compilation. the wub  "?/!"  08:07, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it's shown that the bootleg in itself is a valuable rarity in some fashion. Alf 09:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Sea Life Sunshine Coast

Sea Life Sunshine Coast at Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia is a marine mammal park, oceanarium and wildlife sanctuary. Sea Life Sunshine Coast is an institutional member of the Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA). The attraction is a Sea Life Centre owned by Merlin Entertainments, and is globally referred to as Sea Life Sunshine Coast by the firm. It was formerly known as UnderWater World.

History
UnderWater World officially opened in 1989.

Several scenes in the Jackie Chan 1996 film Police Story 4: First Strike were shot in the park, including a scene in the main aquarium. In one of the scenes, a tourist family is visible in the reflection on one of the tanks.

During the period of Christmas on 2006 UnderWater World had a giant squid preserved in a block of ice on display.

In July 2013, UnderWater World's owners, Merlin Entertainments, announced that they would be spending $6.5 million on the refurbishment of the facilities. As part of the process, the aquarium was rebranded as a Sea Life Centre and relaunched in December 2013.

Exhibits
Some examples of the largest exhibits at the aquarium include:

 * Ocean Tunnel

A moving walkway in an 80 m shark tunnel under the 2500000 l oceanarium takes visitors past several viewing windows, with fish swimming all around the walkway. The exhibit includes three separate habitats: coral reef, cave and open ocean. Its residents include grey nurse sharks, tawny nurse sharks, grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks, leopard sharks, ornate wobbegongs, rays, giant groupers, potato cods, snappers and trevallies. One resident, a brown whipray has lived at the aquarium since 1989.

In November 2011, the shark tank and moving walkway were closed for an upgrade.

 * Seal Island

There are six seals at Sea Life Sunshine Coast: Long-nosed fur seals Birubi, Moana, Saturday and Sly; Subantarctic fur seal Nelson and Australian sea lion Teiko, who are the residents of the main Seal Island exhibit.

Little penguins are a recent addition to the aquarium, with a specially built exhibit constructed for a family of them.

 * Other exhibits

include: Bay of Rays, Billabong, Coastal Wrecks, Coral Kingdom, Freshwater Streams, Frogs, Jellyfish Kingdom, Seahorse Sanctuary and Tidal Touchpools.

Shows and talks
Sea Life Sunshine Coast presents seal shows and wildlife information talks, and has hands-on marine displays. Shows at the park include:

 * Seal Shows in the Seal Stadium
 * Stingray Reef talks
 * Ocean Tunnel Tours
 * Touch Pool
 * Jellyfish Tours
 * Behind the Scenes Tours

Conservation
Sea Life Sunshine Coast is a rehabilitation centre for turtles, seals, and other marine animals.

Grumman J2F Duck

The Grumman J2F Duck (company designation G-15) is an American single-engine amphibious biplane. It was used by each major branch of the U.S. armed forces from the mid-1930s until just after World War II, primarily for utility and air-sea rescue duties. It was also used by the Argentine Navy, who took delivery of their first example in 1937. After the war, J2F Ducks saw service with independent civilian operators, as well as the armed forces of Colombia and Mexico.

The J2F was an improved version of the earlier JF Duck, the main differences being a longer float and a more-powerful engine (900 horsepower versus 775).

Development
The J2F-1 Duck first flew on 2 April 1936, powered by a 750 hp (559 kW) Wright R-1820 Cyclone, and was delivered to the U.S. Navy on the same day. The J2F-2 had an uprated Wright Cyclone engine of 790 hp (589 kW). Twenty J2F-3 variants were built in 1939 for use by the Navy as executive transports with plush interiors. Due to pressure of work following the United States entry into the war in 1941, production of the J2F Duck was transferred to the Columbia Aircraft Corp of New York. They produced 330 aircraft for the Navy and U.S. Coast Guard. If standard Navy nomenclature practice had been followed, these would have been designated JL-1s, but it was not, and all Columbia-produced airframes were delivered as J2F-6s.

Several surplus Navy Ducks were converted for use by the United States Air Force in the air-sea rescue role as the OA-12 in 1948.

Design
The J2F was an equal-span single-bay biplane with a large monocoque central float which also housed the retractable main landing gear, a similar design to the Leroy Grumman-designed landing gear first used for Grover Loening's early amphibious biplane designs, and later adopted for the Grumman FF fighter biplane. The aircraft had strut-mounted stabilizer floats beneath each lower wing. A crew of two or three were carried in tandem cockpits, forward for the pilot and rear for an observer with room for a radio operator if required. It had a cabin in the fuselage for two passengers or a stretcher.

The Duck's main pontoon was blended into the fuselage, making it almost a flying boat despite its similarity to a conventional landplane which has been float-equipped. This configuration was shared with the earlier Loening OL, Grumman having acquired the rights to Loening's hull, float, and undercarriage designs. Like the F4F Wildcat, its narrow-tracked landing gear was hand-cranked.

Operational history
The J2F was used by the U.S. Navy, Marines, Army Air Forces, and Coast Guard. Apart from general utility and light transport duties, its missions included mapping, scouting/observation, anti-submarine patrol, air-sea rescue work, photographic surveys, reconnaissance, and target tug.

J2Fs of the utility squadron of US Patrol Wing 10 were destroyed at Mariveles Naval Section Base, Philippines, by a Japanese air raid on 5 January 1942. The only Duck to survive the attack had a dead engine but had been concealed at Cabcaben airfield during the Battle of Bataan, to be repaired afterwards with a cylinder removed from a destroyed J2F-4 submerged in Manila Bay. Following repairs the J2F-4 departed after midnight on 9 April 1942, overloaded with five passengers and the pilot, Roland J.Barnick, becoming the last aircraft to depart Bataan before the surrender of the Bataan to the Japanese only hours later. Among its passengers was Carlos P. Romulo (diplomat, politician, soldier, journalist, and author), who recounted the flight in his 1942 best-selling book I Saw the Fall of the Philippines (Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York 1943, pp. 288–303), for which he received the Pulitzer Prize for Correspondence.

Variants

 * J2F-1
 * Initial production version with 750 hp R-1820-20 engines, 29 built.

 * J2F-2

 * J2F-2A
 * As J2F-2 with minor changes for use in the United States Virgin Islands, nine built.

 * J2F-3
 * J2F-2 but powered by an 850 hp R-1820-26 engine, 20 built.

 * J2F-4
 * J2F-2 but powered by an 850 hp R-1820-30 engine and fitted with target towing equipment, 32 built.

 * J2F-5
 * J2F-2 but powered by a 1,050 hp R-1820-54 engine, 144 built.

 * J2F-6
 * Columbia Aircraft built version of the J2F-5 with a 1,050 hp R-1820-64 engine in a long-chord cowling, fitted with underwing bomb racks and provision for target towing gear; 330 built.

 * OA-12
 * Air-sea rescue conversion for the United States Army Air Forces (and later United States Air Force, OA-12A).

Operators

 * Argentine Naval Aviation received four new-build Grumman G-15s (equivalent to J2F-4s) in 1939, to supplement the eight Grumman G-20s (export version of the Grumman JF-2) received in 1937. In 1946–1947, 32 ex-US Navy Ducks (consisting of one J2F-4, 24 J2F-5s, and 7 J2F-6s) were acquired, with the last examples remaining in use until 1958.
 * Colombian Navy (operated three examples from 1948).
 * Mexican Navy (operated three ex-U.S. Navy J2F-6s from 1950 to 1951).
 * Colombian Navy (operated three examples from 1948).
 * Mexican Navy (operated three ex-U.S. Navy J2F-6s from 1950 to 1951).
 * Mexican Navy (operated three ex-U.S. Navy J2F-6s from 1950 to 1951).
 * Peruvian Navy (operated one ex-USN example from 1961 to 1964).
 * United States Army Air Forces
 * United States Coast Guard
 * United States Marine Corps
 * United States Navy
 * United States Marine Corps
 * United States Navy

Surviving aircraft

 * 33549 – J2F-6 airworthy at Fantasy of Flight in Polk City, Florida.
 * 33559 – J2F-6 airworthy at the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Madras, Oregon.
 * 33581 – J2F-6 on static display at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.
 * 33587 – J2F-6 on static display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
 * 33594 – J2F-6 airworthy with Comanche Warbirds Inc. in Houston, Texas.
 * 33614 – J2F-6 under restoration to airworthy for Fantasy of Flight in Polk City, Florida.
 * 36976 – J2F-6 on static display at the EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
 * 48-0563 – OA-12 in storage with the Skyfire Corporation in Wilmington, Delaware.

Cultural impact
A J2F Duck was used in the 1971 film Murphy's War, which includes a spectacular three-minute rough water takeoff scene along with numerous flying and aerobatic sequences. The actual airplane used in this film is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force near Dayton, Ohio, although it has been restored and painted to represent a rescue OA-12.

User:He's a good bloke and

Note: A series of sockpuppets have been editing the same set of pages (usually Victoria of the United Kingdom, Pope Pius XII, Jim Duffy (author) and Dublin statues and their nicknames, Lamest edit wars and George III of the United Kingdom) identical ways to include almost identical information, all of it POV. All were pages I had edited. Skyring had a history of Wikistalking me, for which the ArbComm imposed a one year ban. Within hours of contributing to a debate on Wikistalking this latest campaign started, with some aspects of the campaign (abusive edit summaries on occasion, undoing changes I had made, etc, exactly what Skyring did. He had threatened to use sockpuppets to continue to wage campaigns against me if banned.

Under this identity he tried to report the reversion of something done by a previous identity of his, which was a reversion of something done by a previous identity of his. . . (yawn) FearÉIREANN\(caint) 00:18, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:London South Collegiate Institute

There needs to be a picture of the school.. 76.69.49.82 (talk) 23:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

There's a new principle as of 2008; I can't remember his name right now though 74.15.76.71 (talk) 22:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

You might want to move to a similar table design as the one under London Central Secondary School's, its cleaner and perhaps more applicable, given the US nature of many of the points. Just a suggestion!

With the new Robert Aziz link, should we put links to Kate Nelligan's site or Dan Brodbeck's site (BTW, this is Dave Brodbeck, Dan's Brother, not dan). It seems a bit much to me. If there is no compelling counter arguemtn, I will remove the Aziz link.Dbrodbeck 01:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

"Link to terrorist actives" section
I have deleted this a couple of times, per WP:BRD I would really like to discuss this here. My take is that it is irrelevant where these guys went to school, and, this is not a news site. A school with almost a hundred years of history, to list these two guys who happen to have gone to this school seems, frankly, trivial. Other thoughts? Dbrodbeck (talk) 22:41, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

I have to agree that "link to terrorist activities" is an inappropriate section in my opinion. The school itself has no known link, it was alumni or former students? "Notable" alumni may not be the best section in a school article for this type of information, but that seems to be how it is done on WP.similar example I also think that Dbrodbeck has a COI, conflict of interest and that even though he is correct that a "link to terrorist activities" section is a inappropriate way to put the information about the former pupils, I do not think that Dbrodbeck should be involved with keeping the information out of the article altogether.24.0.133.234 (talk) 02:09, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I have no conflict of interest, I went to South yes, but, I have no other connection with the school, and I graduated almost 30 years ago. Show me one COI edit that I have made.  Dbrodbeck (talk) 03:56, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I am only referring to this matter in particular. I think that your edit to delete or change the section title is correct but for you to insist or change whether or not the past students' names are included in the article is a conflict for alumni. If that is also your name on the list of notable alumni- and another person with the same name...it would give the impression of ownership of the page due to a coi. Personally I am not going to fool with the article but I really don't think that you should be censoring information which could be considered to be negative in this article unless it is false or something that is usually not allowed. 24.0.133.234 (talk) 01:21, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I have been quite careful with this. I don't see any edits in the past, and I don't foresee any in the future, where I broke policy.  Dbrodbeck (talk) 14:43, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Again, in reply to you asking to be shown where you are incorrect here, you CENSORED information out of an article in which you have a conflict of interest. The section of the article where you DELETED/CENSORED....also mentions YOU and YOUR RELATIVE. If that is not a COI,(censoring an article in which you have a personal interest) I really don't know what is.24.0.133.234 (talk) 00:13, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Fine then, take me to ANI. Dbrodbeck (talk) 00:22, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The mentions of the suspects must not be included, as the sourcing does not indicate that the school is in any way important regarding their alleged actions.   17:03, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

The last time that I checked, you and your relative were both listed in the "Notable alumni" section. You have deleted and blanked a section about those other alumni, and also refused that their names be included in the "Notable alumni" section. That is the COI, not what they did or didn't do. I have already agreed that "link to terrorist activities" section should be blanked on an article about the school. If you can't understand me I may just take it to ANI because it is pretty simple and I don't know how else to explain it.24.0.133.234 (talk) 14:47, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * OK I posted it on ANI-please excuse any technical mistakes. There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding Question about COI. The thread is Editor asked for comments I answered but they still don't understand simple COI.The discussion is about the topic Topic24.0.133.234 (talk) 15:43, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, Dbrobeck has a COI. His COI regards his inclusion in the article, and content related to him. It isn't relevant otherwise, and unless his edits can be shown to be problematic on their own, it isn't helpful to bring it up (much less repeatedly). We do not commonly include information about people who are not notable in lists such as this. Generally speaking, that means we don't include names of people without dedicated articles on-wiki. Neither of these people have dedicated articles, so it's probably not appropriate to include them. If they can be shown to be independently notable, then I would support their inclusion. Running to ANI probably wasn't the best option; there's lots of other ways to resolve a dispute.  — Jess · Δ♥ 15:46, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Thank-you!I thought I was taking crazy-pills here. As I said before I am not interested in editing the article, but Dbrobeck asked for comments so I attempted to point-out the problem. It was not my idea to post it on ANI (Dbrobeck's suggestion), and I didn't realize how quickly they close items there, so I could not respond to the incorrect statements posted as replies. The COI noticeboard would be my choice of venues to take the problem, but I was trying to be fair to Dbrobeck so I went with that suggestion. Since the ANI was closed with the statement that it was not the correct place for it, I think that the COI noticeboard is the best place to take it.24.0.133.234 (talk) 17:39, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I HAVE NO COI with respect to the idiots that joined AQ, re read what Jess said, and frankly the ANI thing. Honestly.  Dbrodbeck (talk) 19:35, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * if you start a COI investigation please be sure to notify me, as I would like to comment. Outside of any COI investigation you might start regarding that, I expect that you will drop discussion of the subject, especially here on this article's Talk page.  Thanks.   19:42, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Alumni
I found a reference and added it about where my younger brother went to high school. I wonder is this good enough for Ray Getliffe? or ? Dbrodbeck (talk) 16:26, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/TShilo12

Prior dispute resolution
Shem and Heraclius, the RfC rules say that diffs must be supplied showing separate attempts by both editors who certify the RfC to resolve the same dispute i.e to resolve the issue (in this case) of alleged personal attacks, incivility, POV pushing, and original research. The diffs you've provided do not show attempts to resolve these issues (or any other), and as such this RfC remains uncertified. Do you have other diffs that each of you can supply? SlimVirgin (talk) 01:44, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * The rules on the page say: "In order to remain listed at Requests for comment, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users." This means that each of you must provide evidence that you have tried and failed to resolve the issues you cited, either directly with Tomer or through a third-party (e.g. a mediator). Without that evidence, the RfC will be deleted as uncertified after 48 hours. SlimVirgin (talk) 01:47, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Removing personal attacks, only to have then re-inserted, is a failed attempt at resolving said personal attacks. That you see Tomer's behavior as defensible, and are playing the system against a very simple RfC (created to remove conflict from a semi-heated article), is worrisome.  You defended the remark "You want to characterize him as a bloodthirsty Zionist Jew-pig" as "ambiguous" -- with that in mind (and that you have been involved with the conflict on the Talk page), I do not feel you should exercise sysop authority over this RfC. Shem(talk) 22:42, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Shem, regardless of your or my view of Tomer's remarks, the RfC rules have to be adhered to, and they say that both certifying editors must have made attempts to resolve the dispute, and failed. I don't see that you've produced diffs to show you did (removing a comment from a talk page isn't attempting to resolve the dispute), and Tomer apologized to Heraclius, and the apology was accepted, so that dispute is over. In addition, none of the diffs you've given show a policy violation.

 * Without evidence of dispute resolution, the page will have to be deleted after 48 hours. SlimVirgin (talk) 23:57, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * I strongly disagree with your assessment that there are no violations of No personal attacks and Civility here, as well as your standards for "adquate" Talk page resolution, and ask that you recuse yourself from sysop involvement here. I believe you to be personally involved in the conflict. Shem(talk) 00:23, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not involved in this dispute, Shem, and don't even know what it's about. (And having read the RfC, I still don't know.) I posted to Heraclius that I thought a sentence he was offended by was ambiguous. Tomer apologized for it, and Heraclius accepted the apology, so that dispute is over. I have no idea what other disputes there are, or who they're with. Whether or not I think there are policy violations is irrelevant to the issue of certification and whether the page is deleted, and I'm sorry, I won't recuse myself. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:25, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * You have participated extensively at Talk:Eden Natan-Zada, and this RfC is neither confusing nor ambiguous. You are not accepting valid proof of attempting to resolve Tomer's personal attacks.  This seems quite inappropriate now, as someone involved on the page where the described conflict has taken place is steering the RfC for deletion.  This page was properly certified prior to your suggesting Tomer's comments to be "ambiguity" (which is all Tomer apologized for, "ambiguity"), and I (again) suggest that you recuse yourself. Shem(talk) 03:34, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Shem, you're mistaken about me having participated extensively at Talk:Eden Natan-Zada. If you check the history, you'll see I've hardly posted to it, and I genuinely don't know what the dispute between you and Tomer is about. SlimVirgin (talk) 09:38, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * I did accept Tomer's apology, but the larger dispute between him and Shem hasn't been resolved yet. In all honesty, I don't have the diffs you're asking for that you would consider proof of trying to resolve the dispute with him.  Shem gave you an explanation above about removing and reinserting the comments, but you didn't accept that as proof.  I am really not interested in fighting over RfC's, and Tomer's not that disruptive of an editor, so do what you like.Heraclius 03:06, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok, thanks for your input, Heraclius. SlimVirgin (talk) 03:11, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * I've deleted the page, because Heraclius has accepted Tomer's apology, doesn't have evidence of a further dispute, and doesn't seem to mind about continuing with the RfC; and also because Shem's diffs don't show clear evidence of trying to resolve the dispute (but even if they did, we need evidence from two editors). Shem, if you approach Tomer directly, he'll probably be glad to sort out whatever the remaining issues are. Let me know if I can help. SlimVirgin (talk) 09:38, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Campus
Why does it mention Hell after Spain ? something went wrong there! As far as the campus goes, elegant and laid back would not be my description for it. It's more dilapidated and cramped. But thats just my "point of view." Ahem. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.113.8.215 (talk • contribs) 01:46, 22 August 2005.
 * I know this is years later, but according to WP:V information must be verifiable. "Descriptions" must be sourced from published, reliable sources. I.E. if Journalist Sally Smith describes the school as "X, Y, Z," say "Sally Smith said that the school was 'X, Y, and Z'" WhisperToMe (talk) 00:45, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * In Europe, Switzerland especially, there is simply not enough physical space for a large open campus like at other boardins schools, or universities. The TASIS campus itself is comprable to the size of several municipalities around Lugano. It is also undergoing an extensive expansion intended to double the campus size and rennovate existing structures, and so most of the buildings have been under construction at some point in the past few years. --Ourai, writing from 84.55.192.114 11:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Notable alumni
-Deleting Koppe and Martin from "Notable Alumni" as they have yet to truly become notables, however promising either young man may be. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.189.148.211 (talk • contribs) 09:10, 7 February 2006.

Deleted the following names from the "Alumni" list: Kerim Askoy, Vas Rajan, Costas Despotoupolous, Gerardo Dominiguez-Angulo, Phillipa Machin, Johan Soderstrom. My reasoning here is quite simple; they were all batch-added at the same time, I did not find anything notable about them in a quick search, and I know for a fact that Kerim Askoy is entering ninth grade this school year, and he is certainly not an alumnus. For the "Alimni" list, please only add names if they are indeed noteworthy. Ourai 10:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Puerto Rican sister school
On August 2002 another TASIS sister school was opened in Puerto Rico. This school started with elementary school children from the age of 3 years old up to eighth grade at the present and ongoing to high school. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prsunshine (talk • contribs) 18:12, September 16, 2006

Changes
I've redone the entire page, added and deleted a lot of info. At least now it doesn't read like a school brochure.

Note to IP-hopper about "Notable students"
Anyone listed as a "Notable student" or "Notable alumni" must have their own Wikipedia article. Please stop adding anyone who does not have a wiki article. Softlavender (talk) 11:16, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for deletion and comment explaining your position. I would agree with you that this specific student is not "Notable" on her own. It seems that a more neutral list title should have been used. For example, "Current students" would fit a lot better. Unfortunately, I can't agree with you on your request not to add "anyone who does not have a wiki article", since you don't provide valid arguments. --84.245.121.92 (talk) 12:04, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter what the title of the section is. If you continue to add a student's name anywhere in the article who does not have a wiki article, you will be blocked or prevented from editing. It's that simple. Softlavender (talk) 12:10, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Dear Softlavender, threats to disrupt a work on Wikipedia with blocks (harassment) are not appropriate. I highly encourage everyone to provide substantive replies if they wish to do so, but not harass. Thank you!--84.245.121.92 (talk) 12:27, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not harassing; I'm stating facts. If you continue to add inappropriate material to Wikipedia, that is disruptive editing, and you will be prevented from further doing so. Softlavender (talk) 12:33, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * According to the rules, there are many types of material which are inappropriate to Wikipedia. This includes profanity, certain controversial content, etc. What is being added does not fit into this categories. The request above, to not to add names which are not linked to existing articles as a must, is also not supported by solid grounds. It's material, notable, has value and is of a public interest. Referring back to your point on alumni, individual alumni need a citation to (a) verify that they did indeed attend the school, and (b) verify the statement of their notability in their short one- or two-line description. Both (a) and (b) requirements are met in the edits I made. It is also agreed that all alumni meeting criteria are to be included on an alumni list, regardless of how much time they have spent on a school roll. --84.245.121.92 (talk) 13:07, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * As a possible resolution for our discussion here, I suggest to add back mention of a student, but this time not disclosing the name of the child. I hope that you would likely accept it.--84.245.121.92 (talk) 13:12, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * We can’t include a non-notable person, unless the kid is independently notable this is a non-starter. Can you imagine the school pages if we included people’s kids? lol Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:46, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, we can. Anyway, as a solution I suggest not to mention the person's name, as it's not that important in this context. PS: usage of initialisms is controversial, and many notable authors recommend against their use.--84.245.121.92 (talk) 07:22, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * "PS: usage of initialisms is controversial, and many notable authors recommend against their use.” smdh... PS is an initialism. Also, no we can’t. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:48, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Suggested edit v1, in Notable Alumni section, which does not mention name: "*Daughter of Leonid Slutsky – member of Russian State Duma, listed in Switzerland, EU, US and other countries Ukrainian crisis and other sanction lists "
 * Suggested edit v2, end of History section, which also does not mention name: "The school became widely noticed in 2021, when it accepted for study a daughter of Leonid Slutsky – member of Russian State Duma, listed in Switzerland, EU, US and other countries Ukrainian crisis and other sanction lists."--84.245.121.92 (talk) 13:53, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

 * The source given doesn’t support that edit, theres nothing in there about the school becoming widely noticed. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:45, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with you that the source doesn't say it. However, the spike of interest is visible from reposts of the investigation, significant raise of search requests and page views. How would you recommend to phrase suggested edit v2 better?--84.245.121.92 (talk) 07:22, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Then you are suggesting that we include WP:OR. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:48, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems so, looks very much like WP:OR. How would you recommend to phrase suggested edit v2 better?
 * What is it that you are not understanding about what we're all saying here? There is no way to restructure the edit to "make it better" for inclusion (nor is there ever anyway to make original research better, it's not allowed plain and simple). No reference to Slutsky will be included on this article. At this point, and, I feel like we're not dealing with a misguided IP but with a WP:Troll. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 17:18, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

 * IP, this is trivia and is not going to be added to this article in any way, shape or form. Please stop this campaign; by now it equates to disruptive editing and borderline trolling. You are clearly not here to build an encyclopedia, but rather merely to push a trivial agenda which by now four highly experienced editors have told you is not going to happen. Softlavender (talk) 07:36, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Softlavender, please, follow Dealing with disruptive editors procedure. Keep the discussions focused on the topic of the talk page, rather than on the editors participating.--84.245.121.92 (talk) 08:20, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * IP, you can lecture on policy all you want, but you're ignoring the most important part: WP:Notability. The student's father is clearly notable, but simply being the child of someone notable is not relevant enough for inclusion. User:Softlavender and Horse Eye's Back are in the right. Not to mention that your claim that this incident is what made the school "widely noticed" is ludicrous and way overstated when talking about one of Europe's most famous boarding schools full of children of famous personalities, of which Slutsky is probably one of the least notable. This isn't even a discussion, Slutsky's daughter has no basis for inclusion. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 18:01, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * IP, when the disruption is as surface level and uncontroversially disruptive as this theres no need to take this anywhere unless you want to get blocked. Editors here simply aren’t going to let you use wikipedia to cyberbully a high school student, it might shock you but this is something we deal with all the time. School pages are a magnet for disruptive editors. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:53, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * No intent to cyberbully at all. It was a great suggestion to avoid using student's name, and also helps to follow Child protection rules.--84.245.121.111 (talk) 12:52, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

No personal interest- Why the blanket assertion and blanket deletion of edits?
I want to stress I have no personal interest or connection with the subject matter. To: 174.208.228.250 and any other affiliated IP addresses, if you have disagreements with any of the specific sources I added as citations or with any of the text that was added please let me know. I thought they were all supported by secondary independent sources. Can you let me know which edits violated NPOV and which sources are not usable per Wikipedia policy? Just because something provides supposed positive coverage does not make it inadmissible as a source. Wickster12345 (talk) 20:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Let me elaborate:
 * I believe the reversion of my contributions under the claim of restoring a "consensus version" warrants further discussion.
 * Firstly, it's crucial to clarify the nature of the edits in question. These were not alterations to existing content where consensus might have previously been established. Instead, they constituted new additions to the article, introducing previously unmentioned subject matter supported by reliable sources.
 * In such cases, the concept of a "consensus version" becomes somewhat irrelevant. Consensus implies a general agreement among editors regarding specific content. When entirely new information is added, there hasn't been an opportunity for such consensus to form.
 * Several Wikipedia policies and guidelines support this perspective:
 * WP:BOLD: Encourages editors to be bold in updating pages. New additions, especially when well-sourced, are generally seen as positive contributions unless they violate other policies.
 * WP:PRESERVE: Emphasizes the importance of preserving information. Reverting well-sourced additions goes against this principle.
 * WP:BRD: (Bold, Revert, Discuss) outlines a process for handling disagreements. While you were correct in reverting, the next step should be discussion, not simply reverting to a non-existent "consensus."
 * Furthermore, assuming a conflict of interest (COI) solely based on adding new content is premature. While COI is a valid concern, it's important to differentiate between promotional editing and good-faith contributions. The edits in question were made with the intent of expanding the article's scope and providing comprehensive information, adhering to Wikipedia's standards of neutrality and verifiability.
 * I invite you to review the specific content added. If you have any concerns about the sources' reliability or the neutrality of the additions, let's discuss them HERE. Reverting without a constructive dialogue hinders collaborative editing and the improvement of Wikipedia. Wickster12345 (talk) 20:41, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Alexandra Hasluck

Dame Alexandra Margaret Martin Hasluck, Lady Hasluck, (née Darker; 26 August 1908 – 18 June 1993), also known as Alix Hasluck, was an Australian author and social historian. She published a number of works on the history of Western Australia. She was the wife of Sir Paul Hasluck, Governor-General of Australia.

Early life
Hasluck was born on 26 August 1908 in North Perth, Western Australia. She was the only child of Evelyn Margaret (née Hill) and John William Darker. Her father was an engineer and her mother was one of the first female graduates of the University of Sydney.

Hasluck attended Ormiston College from 1914 to 1918 and Perth College from 1919 to 1925. As a high school student her poetry was published in The Australasian. She went on to attend the University of Western Australia, graduating Bachelor of Arts in 1929. Hasluck was a sub-editor of the university magazine Black Swan and enrolled in an honours course, but had to discontinue her research on the Arthurian legend for financial reasons. She subsequently taught English and French at a small private school and later at St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls.

Marriage and public life
In 1932, she married Paul Hasluck, who (as Sir Paul) was Governor-General of Australia 1969–1974. In 1974 he was offered an extension of his term by the Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, and he was willing to serve an extra two years, but Lady Hasluck (as she then was) refused to remain at Yarralumla longer than the originally agreed five years. Whitlam then appointed Sir John Kerr. Historians of the period are certain that if Hasluck had still been Governor-General in 1975, as he would have been had his wife not intervened, the constitutional crisis of that year would have ended differently. Hasluck himself implied this in his book, The Office of Governor-General and also in the Queale Lecture.

In the 1978 Queen's Birthday Honours, Lady Hasluck was appointed the first Dame of the Order of Australia for "pre-eminent achievement in the fields of literature and history and for extraordinary and meritorious public service to Australia".

Writing
Hasluck wrote poetry and prose from a young age. Her early interests included medieval England, and in the 1930s she wrote a historical novel titled Tudor Blood which was rejected for publication. She developed an interest in the history of Western Australia at university, which she shared with her husband, and in 1934 she replaced him as honorary secretary of the Western Australian Historical Society.

Hasluck published eleven books on history as well as a collection of short stories and an autobiography. Her works focused on the early colonial period of Western Australia and included full-length biographies of Georgiana Molloy (1955), Thomas Peel (1965), and Edmund Du Cane (1973), as well as shorter works on James Stirling and C. Y. O'Connor. Her 1959 book Unwilling Emigrants examined the convict era of Western Australia through a study of convict William Sykes. Her writing was targeted at general readers and "brought the history of Western Australia to a popular audience at a time when the State's historiography was in its infancy".

Death
She died in 1993. Dame Alexandra and Sir Paul Hasluck are joint eponyms of the Western Australian Federal House of Representatives Division of Hasluck.

Publications

 * Georgiana Molloy: Portrait with Background (Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1955)
 * Unwilling Emigrants (London: Oxford University Press, 1959)
 * Remembered With Affection (Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1963; book design by Alison Forbes)

User:Except for the tool

Note: A series of sockpuppets have been editing the same set of pages (usually Victoria of the United Kingdom, Pope Pius XII, Jim Duffy (author) and Dublin statues and their nicknames, Lamest edit wars and George III of the United Kingdom) identical ways to include almost identical information, all of it POV. All were pages I had edited. Skyring had a history of Wikistalking me, for which the ArbComm imposed a one year ban. Within hours of contributing to a debate on Wikistalking this latest campaign started, with some aspects of the campaign (abusive edit summaries on occasion, undoing changes I had made, etc, exactly what Skyring did. He had threatened to use sockpuppets to continue to wage campaigns against me if banned.

Extra-shortness

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) uses a breve ⟨˘⟩ to indicate a speech sound (usually a vowel) with extra-short duration. That is, is a very short vowel with the quality of. An example from English is the short schwa of the word police. This is typical of vowel reduction.

Before the 1989 Kiel Convention, the breve was used for a non-syllabic vowel (that is, part of a diphthong), which is now indicated by an breve placed under the vowel letter, as in eye. It is also sometimes used for any flap consonants missing dedicated symbols in the IPA, since a flap is in effect a very brief stop.

Fathers' rights
Re your question about abortion. Presuambly you are interested in whether fathers' rights campaigners are addressing this as an issue and whether there are any jurisdictions where fathers' rights in this respect are recognised. I also infer from your comment that you are interested in whether a father should have the right to veto an abortion if he wants to keep the child, or perhaps to insist on one where he doesn't. Sorry for your disappointment - I can only say if you yourself research this area then I'd be interested in any updates you make to the article in this regard. The only area where legislation does touch on your point, although in a different context, is in cases of in vitro fertilisation where, in the UK, the father's permission is required before any embryo produced from his sperm can be used. Aside from that I do not know of any instances where the father has any rights in regard to decisions over abortion. It is also not an area that has so far aroused the passions of rathers' rights campaigners, and the ethics of abortion in relation to fathers' rights is not something I have heard discussed. I would be interested if you came up any material in this area. Matt Stan 17:10, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Hi! I removed your edit on the article for the animated TV show Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Your little edit called the Powerpuff Girls "wildly popular", but in fact it was never even very popular. If Powerpuff Girls is wildly popular, then Stevie Wonder is Italian American. Marcus2 20:06, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * "Little edit?" I hope you weren't being belittling, because I practically rewrote that article: As for the PPG not being "wildly popular;" give a gang of five-year-olds a picture of Mojo Jojo and a picture of Foghorn Leghorn. I'll put $20 down that more of them will be able to identify the former than the latter. But I won't complain, as "wildly popular" was perhaps a bit POVish and it's not that big of a deal anyway. Garrett Albright 01:12, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Mojo Jojo is not well-known to five-year-olds at all, as far as I'm concerned. They'd say something like "Who is that?" Looney Tunes, of which Foghorn Leghorn is one of, is by far more well-known than Powerpuff Girls. OK, you lose $20. Tough luck. It's just like putting $20 down that Pope John Paul II is Jewish. Marcus2 12:49, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Dude, with all due respect, you are off your rocker. Cartoon Network shows PPG every day during the prime after-school timeslot, as well as Friday evenings. The closest thing it shows to Looney Tunes nowadays is Duck Dodgers, once a week; for Looney Tunes, you've got to turn on Boomerang, which is on very few cable systems, or find their latest movie on DVD, as it flopped in theatres. Those over fifteen are probably familiar with the Looney Tunes; those younger probably have only a vague idea of their greatness. And, by the way, your smarmy remarks in this discussion are very rude and off-putting; I don't know what you're trying to achieve with it. Garrett Albright 01:04, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I just looked up a picture of Leghorn on the internet, covered up the title bar, and asked my twelve-year-old sister to identify it. She knew he was from Looney Tunes, but could not identify him. However, she knows the names of all of the major PPG characters. Garrett Albright 01:34, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * How am I being rude? By the way you're wrong about the PPG programming schedule. It's not on prime-time every day of the week. In fact, there's little programming for Powerpuff Girls compared to programs such as Codename: Kids Next Door. Looney Tunes have been around for generations and Cartoon Network has only stopped showing them on their channel to make more room for new programming. Besides, I believe that Channel 11 (WPIX) still shows Looney Tunes. And what is this about this latest movie on DVD? If you're talking about Space Jam, that was a smash hit in theatres. I can't understand why you perseverate on this topic. I have just two more things to ask you, 1. How am I being rude? and 2. What is this Looney Tunes movie you're talking about? Marcus2 12:32, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Good gravy, man, you mean you don't know what you've been talking about all along? The movie is Looney Tunes: Back In Action. PPG is on every day of the week: Okay, I got the after-school time slot wrong, but that's semantics. And, okay, so some regional channel in your corner of the world still shows Looney Tunes. You think that has the reach of the nationwide Cartoon Network? You tell me to turn to Channel 11; where I live, Channel 11 is some crazy hippie/commie-oriented public-access channel. As for you being rude, it starts with "little edit," and continues with "tough luck," Stevie Wonder and the Pope, and your stubborn denial that children nowadays do not watch Looney Tunes.

 * It could be that this movie was just of bad quality. Looney Tunes is often identified as a classic. And Powerpuff Girls is shown on Saturdays, but only on one time slot in the early morning. And what's so rude about my references to Stevie Wonder and the Pope? Marcus2 15:28, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Waking Life
Perhaps I didn't choose the wording carefully enough. I said the movie was "a digitally manipulated film, similar to an animated film". I think you mischarachterized that when you said, "I find it odd that you say Waking Life is not animation." I do think it is animation just not the typical Disney kind. I know it is latter referenced but I think much of the movie's appeal is in the odd visual qualities so I thought it should be added to the intro. Besides the point though I think it was so poorly written on my part and that it should just be reverted. As to Bakshi's American Pop I am sad to say I know little about that movie and I will leave to you the question of its animatedness.BrokenSegue 02:03, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Political Quizlet
Salutations, Garrett! A couple weeks ago there was a question at WP:RD about whether there was a site where someone could answer questions and have the computer tell them which candidate was closest to their positions. A friend pointed me to this site. Since it only talks about Bush and Kerry some people are out of luck--like me. Ave! PedanticallySpeaking 19:21, Oct 27, 2004 (UTC)

Craig McCracken
Hi! I found some blurbs of misinformation in your article on Craig McCracken, and one of them is "The Powerpuff Girls has since become Cartoon Network's most popular and marketable show." If this is true, so is that John Lennon died of a heart attack. The statement is almost totally wrong since Scooby-Doo has always been more popular than Powerpuff Girls.

 * I'm sorry to be disturbing you again, but I can name a few CN cartoons that are more popular than Powerpuff Girls right now. Take Codename: Kids Next Door for instance. I believe that this has more showings than Powerpuff Girls. I'm sorry if I was getting on your nerves, I didn't mean to. Marcus2 13:04, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Wikinews demo up and running
Hi!

I'm writing to let you know that the Wikimedia Board of Trustees has approved the first stage of the Wikinews project. There's now a fully operational English demo site at demo.wikinews.org. This will be used for experimenting with various review models and basic policies before the site is launched officially in about a week. demo.wikinews.org will become the English version later. You voted for the Wikinews project, so I'm asking for your participation now. Everything is open, nothing is final. What Wikinews will and can be depends in large part on you. There already is a global Wikinews mailing list for discussing the project. If you are interested at all, please subscribe -- coordination is of key importance. There's also an IRC channel #wikinews on irc.freenode.net. Realtime discussion can help to polish up articles. If you're looking for something to do, check out the articles in development and articles in review. Or start a new story in the Wikinews workspace, or ignore the proposed review system - it's up to you. I hope you'll join us soon in this exciting experiment.--Eloquence* 02:01, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

Football at Sonoma State?
Sonoma State had football? I hope you don't mind my asking when they dropped it, what conference they played in, and what stadium they played in... Thank you if you can answer these... --fpo 03:59, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I can't. I just can recall from my days there that they used to have it, but dropped it some time in the past for safety and/or cost reasons. I assume the "stadium" they played in was just a grass field lined with benches, just as is the "stadium" of the comparably-sized uni closer to where I grew up, Humboldt State University. I remember that there were occasional campaigns by some of the student body to re-start a football program, but they never went anywhere. Perhaps if you emailed someone at SSU's athletics department they could fill in more details? Good luck. Garrett Albright 16:03, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

 * HSU's football is in real trouble. Some of their conference members in Oregon are leaving, and they're the only D-II school in California, and in a remote area as well... HSU's stadium is officially called the Redwood Bowl by the way... I don't see SSU or anybody else restarting football, especially after St. Mary's recently dropped theirs... --fpo 15:41, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I really don't know squat about college football, so that's all greek to me. :) "Redwood Bowl" sounds right, though. It's been a while since I've been up there... I'm currently living on the other side of the planet. Garrett Albright 16:44, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Mimizuka

The Mimizuka (耳塚), which was renamed from Hanazuka (鼻塚), is a monument in Kyoto, Japan. It is dedicated to the sliced noses of killed Korean soldiers and civilians, as well as those of Ming Chinese troops, taken as war trophies during the Japanese invasions of Korea from 1592 to 1598. The monument enshrines the severed noses of at least 38,000 Koreans and over 30,000 Chinese killed during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasions.

The shrine is located just to the west of Toyokuni Shrine, the Shinto shrine honoring Hideyoshi in Kyoto.

History
Traditionally, Japanese warriors brought back the heads of enemies slain on the battlefield as proof of their deeds. Nose collection in lieu of heads became a feature of the second Korean invasion. Originally, remuneration was paid to soldiers by their daimyō commanders based on the severed heads upon submission to collection stations, where inspectors meticulously counted, recorded, salted and packed the heads bound for Japan. However, because of the number of civilians killed along with soldiers, and crowded conditions on the ships that transported troops, it was far easier to just bring back noses instead of whole heads. Hideyoshi was especially insistent upon receiving noses of people his samurai had killed as proof that his men really were killing people in Korea.

Japanese chroniclers on the second invading campaign mention that the ears hacked off the faces of the massacred were also of ordinary civilians mostly in the provinces Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Chungcheong. In the second invasion, Hideyoshi's orders were thus: Mow down everyone universally, without discriminating between young and old, men and women, clergy and the laity—high ranking soldiers on the battlefield, that goes without saying, but also the hill folk, down to the poorest and meanest—and send the heads to Japan. One hundred and sixty-thousand Japanese troops had gone to Korea where they had taken 185,738 Korean heads and 29,014 Chinese ones, a grand total of 214,752. As some might have been discarded, it is impossible to enumerate how many were killed in total during the war. The Mimizuka was dedicated September 28, 1597. Though the exact reasons as to its construction are not entirely known, scholars contend that during the second Japanese invasion of Korea in 1597, Toyotomi Hideyoshi demanded his commanders show receipts of their martial valor in the destruction, dispatching congratulatory letters to his high-ranking warriors in the field as evidence of their service. Hideyoshi then ordered the relics entombed in a shrine on the grounds of Hokoji Temple, and set Buddhist priests to work praying for the repose of the souls of the tens of thousands of Koreans from whose bodies they had come; an act that chief priest Saishō Jōtai (1548–1608) would hail as a sign of Hideyoshi's "great mercy and compassion." The shrine initially was known as hanazuka (鼻塚), Mound of Noses, but several decades later this would come to be regarded as too cruel-sounding a name, and would be changed to the more euphonious but inaccurate mimizuka (耳塚), Mound of Ears, the misnomer by which it is known to this day. Other nose tombs dating from the same period are found elsewhere in Japan, such as at Okayama.

Effect on modern foreign relations
The Mimizuka is almost unknown to the Japanese public unlike to the Koreans. The British historian Stephen Turnbull called the Mimizuka "Kyoto's least mentioned and most often avoided tourist attraction". A plaque, which was later removed, stood in front of the Ear Mound in the 1960s with the passage, "One cannot say that cutting off noses was so atrocious by the standard of the time." Most guidebooks do not mention the Ear Mound, and only a few Japanese or foreign tourists visit the site. The majority of visiting tourists are Korean—Korean tour buses are often seen parked near the Ear Mound.

In 1982, not a single Japanese school textbook mentioned the Ear Mound. As of 1997, the mound is referred to in about half of all high-school history textbooks according to Shigeo Shimoyama, an official of Jikkyo, a publishing company. The publisher released the first Japanese text book mentioning the Ear Mound in the mid-1980s. The Education Ministry of Japan at that time opposed the description as "too vivid" and pressured the publisher to reduce the tone and also to praise Hideyoshi for religiously dedicating the Ear Mound to store the spirits of the killed people.

In the 1970s under the Park Chung Hee administration, some of the officials of the South Korean government asked Japan to level the monument. However, most South Koreans said that the mound should stay in Japan as a reminder of past savagery. In 2005, the activity since the 1990s was described as: In 1990 a Korean Buddhist monk named Pak Sam-jung traveled to Kyoto and, with the support of a private local organization, concluded a ceremony in front of the tomb to comfort the spirits residing there and guide them home to Korea. Over the next six years the Japanese organization that hosted this event spearheaded a drive to get the mimizuka itself sent home, submitting a petition bearing twenty-thousand signatures to Kyoto city officials, and pledging to bear the cost of excavating the contents of the tomb and shipping them to Korea, together with the nine-meter-high earthen mound and the stone pagoda on top. When Pak Sam-jung returned to Kyoto in 1996, the tomb's return seemed imminent. "These noses were cut off as trophies of war for Toyotomi Hideyoshi," he announced upon leaving Seoul. "They have been there in Kyoto for four-hundred years. It is now our duty to see them returned to Korea to assuage the grief of the 126,000 people whose remains are buried there." In the end the necessary permission to move the mimuzuka was not forthcoming from the Japanese government. It was decided that, as an officially designated national cultural asset, the tomb should stay where it was. It remains in Kyoto to this day, little known and not often visited, and not well marked for tourists. It is just west of Kyoto National Museum and Toyokuni Jinja, the Shinto shrine dedicated to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was deified as a kami after his death. Funding from the government is insufficient to care for the site, so the work is done by local residents, who volunteer to cut the grass and tidy up the grounds.

On September 28, 1997, the 400th anniversary of the Mimizuka, a ceremony was held in respect for those killed, which people of all nationalities and faiths attended. The current caretaker of Mimizuka as of August 2009 is Shimizu Shirou (清水四郎).

 * This list is correct, checking a recording of the program, that is how it was. It does spark a little curiosity if there is some sort of "east coast bias." All things considered, FOX is in the business of getting the best ratings they can get for themselves, and they won't get any going to Arizona or San Francisco. They get them by being in the eastern time zone, covering big market east coast teams. If they ever decide to go back on the road, it should be noted if the trend continues. Doctorindy 23:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! DK08 22:48 11/3/06 2006
 * Fox saves money by doing east coast teams, saving on travel costs. Since televised games start early on the west coast it doesn't matter if they did it there or on the east coast. Also, they report and cover all the games and focus on the games they will be showing, so it really doesn't matter that much where they are. There are also plenty of big market teams outside of the east coast, like the Chicago Bears (2nd largest market in the NFL). The only benefit Fox has by staying east is saving on travel expenses.

Swan Valley (Western Australia)

The Swan Valley is a region in the upper reaches of the Swan River between Guildford and Bells Rapids, Western Australia. It is bordered to the east by the Darling Scarp. Both Ellenbrook and Jane Brook lie within the region and discharge into the Swan River. There are seven suburbs within the region: Baskerville, Belhus, Caversham, Henley Brook, Herne Hill, Millendon and West Swan. It is part of the City of Swan local government area.

The Swan Valley Australian Geographical Indication is a sub-region of the larger Swan District wine region. Swan Valley was registered on 6 January 2003 following Swan District being registered on 10 December 1998.

History
The indigenous heritage of the region is over 40,000 years old. The Noongar Aboriginal people of the Wadjuk tribe, who are the traditional landowners of the Swan Valley, lived here before the colonial invasion began. As per the beliefs of the native people, the Swan Valley was created by a serpent named Wagyl who is still believed to be living under the Swan River.

The area was explored in 1827 by Captain James Stirling later to become governor of the Swan River Colony. Stirling was so impressed with the area that he wrote in his diary: "...the richness of the soil, the bright foliage of the shrubs, the majesty of the surrounding trees, the abrupt and red colour banks of the river occasionally seen, and the view of the blue mountains, from which we were not far distant, made the scenery of this spot as beautiful as anything of the kind I have ever witnessed..."

When Stirling returned to establish the colony in 1829 he created three settlements: Fremantle as the port; Perth as the major commercial and political centre; and Guildford on the southern end of the Swan Valley region. Descendants of many of the early families still reside within the shire. Within the first ten years, two of Perth's oldest churches had been built there: the first was St. Mary's Church in Middle Swan, followed by All Saints Church, Henley Brook built at the site of Stirling's 1827 camp. St. Mary's was rebuilt in 1869 but All Saints still retains its original structure and is thus Perth's oldest standing church.

Attractions
The Swan Valley is noted for its fertile soil, uncommon in the Perth region, and tourism-based destinations. These include numerous wineries such as the huge complex at what was once known as Houghton, the state's biggest producer, and Sandalford and also many small family-owned concerns. There are also several microbreweries and rum and gin distilleries. The Swan Valley is served by roadside local-produce stalls which sell seasonal produce throughout the year. Grapes, melons, asparagus, stone fruits, citrus and strawberries are grown and sold in the Swan Valley.

Swan Valley has a food element in the form of a chocolate factory, coffee roasters, several beekeepers, a lavender farm, olive groves, a goat farm, cheese farms, dried-fruit producers, restaurants and cafes.

During October for many years the annual "Spring in the Valley" weekend took place; it was one of Australia's largest wine and food festivals. This community event ceased around 2009 due to excessive anti-social behaviour of some participants. However some of the smaller wineries in the area have banded together and still present some small scale events in the valley during spring.

The West Australian Reptile Park is located in the valley at Henley Brook.

Talk:Damara sheep

The origins of these sheep
I am no expert on sheep, but I have taken it upon my self to make some edits here. This may seem like a rant disproportionate of the subject of sheep, but when I searched for Damara sheep on google I found countless duplicates of this flawed article, and of the claims made in it.

The article says that Damara sheep originate from Hamites of Eastern-Asia and Egypt. Is there a breed of sheep called Hamites? No. What is implied here is the people called Hamites (Usage of the word Hamites is defunct. Read the article: Hamitic).

I doubt that the origins of these sheep have been studied in such scientific detail as to make the claims that they moved from Egypt to southern Africa. They could very well have moved the other way. We cannot even be that specific about the movements of human beings, let alone that of sheep. Give the Himba and Tjimba rightful credit for breeding these sheep. - Ezeu 02:18, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Sheep are not native to Southern Africa. There are no wild sheep in Africa at all. Domestic sheep are considered to have developed from wild asian varieties. The generally accepted model for their migration into Africa is via Egypt ca. 500AD by pastoralists. Therefore, the claims are actually most likely valid. 137.215.6.50 11:46, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

For example:

 * letters such as "u" and "r" are not words; instead, "you" and "are" are words.

Thomas P. Kelley

Thomas Patrick Kelley Jr. (6 April 1905 –  14 February 1982) was a Canadian writer notable for two books on the infamous Black Donnellys of Lucan, Ontario.

Kelley was born in Hastings, Ontario, the son of Thomas Patrick Kelley Sr. (John Lawrence Monahon) and English-born Nellie Burgess. He journeyed with his father's medicine show until 1931, then boxed professionally. In 1937 he began his prolific pulp writing career, with a sale to Weird Tales. He wrote many stories for Uncanny Tales, a Canadian pulp magazine. He was the author of some two-dozen paperback books, largely of the true-crime variety. Kelley claimed to be ‘king of the Canadian pulp writers’ and ‘the fastest author in the East’. He died in Toronto.

Kelley claimed that when he began a novel he had no idea how it would end, and had used 30 pseudonyms.

He is most noted for his account of the Donnelly tragedy in The Black Donnellys. He later followed with the sequel Vengeance of The Black Donnellys, a fictionalized account of the vengeful vendetta undertaken by Francis Donnelly, one of the surviving members of the family on those responsible for the massacre of his parents and siblings. .

The Black Donnellys is reputed to be the Harlequin book with the most printings, with 15 printings of two editions between April 1954 and April 1968. Another source states 400,000 copies in 22 editions were sold. However successful the books were, they were denounced as grossly inaccurate. James Reaney, citing Alfred Scott Garrett, states that Kelley "totally misportrayed Mr. and Mrs. James Donnelly”, effectively murdering them again. The book was described as "sensationalistic and not very factual".

Canada's False Prophet is purported to be a biography of Brother XII by his brother Herbert Emmerson Wilson. Citing John Robert Colombo, the tale was likely "concocted" by Kelley and Herbert Emerson (single “m”) Wilson. "Since this Wilson was born in Canada and Edward Arthur Wilson was born in England, there is hardly any likelihood there was a real connection between them." Thomas P. Kelley collaborated with the notorious safecracker Herbert Emerson Wilson to produce his unbelievable autobiography 'King of The Safecrackers', which was later titled, 'I Stole $16,000,000'. Interested in the story, Stanley Kubrick purchased the movie option, and after many years is now in development under the title 'God Fearing Man'.

Henry William Bristow

Henry William Bristow (17 May 1817 – 14 June 1889) was an English geologist and naturalist.

Life
He was born in London on 17 May 1817. He was the son of Major-general Henry Bristow, a member of a Wiltshire family, and his wife Elizabeth Atchorne of High Wycombe. After passing with distinction through King's College, London, he joined the staff of the Geological Survey in 1842, and was set to work in Radnorshire. From this county he was shortly afterwards transferred to the Cotteswold district, which he examined up to Bath, and afterwards surveyed a large part of Dorset, Wiltshire, and Hampshire, with the Isle of Wight, besides some of the Wealden area, Berkshire, and Essex, rising ultimately in 1872 to the position of director for England and Wales. His field work was admirable in quality, for he was no less patient than accurate in unravelling a complicated district — one of those men, in short, who lay the foundations on which his successors can build, and whose services to British geology are more lasting than showy. He retired from the survey in July 1888 and died on 14 June 1889. He was elected F.G.S. in 1843 and F.R.S. in 1862, was an honorary member of sundry societies, and received the order of SS. Maurice and Lazarus.

Works
His separate papers are few in number — about eight — and during his later years he suffered from deafness, which prevented him from taking part in the business of societies. But his mark is made on several of the maps and other publications of the Geological Survey, more especially in the memoir of parts of Berkshire and Hampshire (a joint production), and in that admirable one, The Geology of the Isle of Wight, almost all of which was from his pen. He contributed also to sundry publications, official and otherwise, and wrote or edited the following books: 1. Glossary of Mineralogy, 1861. 2. Underground Life (translation, with additions of La Vie Souterraine, by L. Simonin), 1869. 3. The World before the Deluge (a translation, with additions, of a work by L. Figuier), 1872.

Family
On 22 October 1863 he married Eliza Harrison, second daughter of David Harrison, a London solicitor, and to them four children were born, two sons and as many daughters; they and the widow surviving him.

Honours and awards
Bristow was elected F.R.S. in 1862. A road in Cheylesmore, Coventry UK is named after him.

Note: A series of sockpuppets have been editing the same set of pages (usually Victoria of the United Kingdom, Pope Pius XII, Jim Duffy (author) and Dublin statues and their nicknames, Lamest edit wars and George III of the United Kingdom) identical ways to include almost identical information, all of it POV. All were pages I had edited. Skyring had a history of Wikistalking me, for which the ArbComm imposed a one year ban. Within hours of contributing to a debate on Wikistalking this latest campaign started, with some aspects of the campaign (abusive edit summaries on occasion, undoing changes I had made, etc, exactly what Skyring did. He had threatened to use sockpuppets to continue to wage campaigns against me if banned. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 01:57, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Slender Means

Slender Means (2003–2010) was an indie rock band from Seattle, Washington. Their debut album, Neon & Ruin on Mt. Fuji Records, was released Tuesday, August 23, 2005, on Mt. Fuji Records. In 2007 they put out a five-song E.P. containing previously unreleased material and a live track from the 90.3 KEXP show, Audio Oasis. On November 15, 2009, they released their 2nd LP "Adrift In The Cosmos." The writing of their 3rd LP came to an abrupt halt at the end of 2010 when the band decided to take an extended hiatus until finally announcing they had officially broken up. Some of the other members are still busy playing in other projects. Eric Wennberg had a project called Mal de Mer, and more recently joined up with The Young Evils. Eric and Josh and Paul have also been recording some material in a new project called, Timbre Barons. Paul Pugliese is playing in the surfy, gypsy jazz trio "Johnny NordstrUm and the Retailers." Dave E. Martin joined up with the Pop/Rock band Black Whales in September 2010. He was asked to fill in on keyboards for a show after Mike Bayer decided to leave the band to focus on his other music projects. Black Whales released their debut full-length record "Shangri-La Indeed!"on June 28, 2011. Martin contributed keyboards to 6 tracks and a musical saw track that was looped at the beginning of the album's opening song. Sonny Votolato recently played bass on his brother Rocky's "Television Of Saints" record. In March 2012, Sonny, Paul and Dave reunited to form the new band "Bye Gones" with Drummer Abdon Valdez. Their first show was played at Sweet Lou's in North Seattle on August 18, 2012. Bye Gones was a very short lived project and came to an end around October 2012. However, Martin has continued to write songs for yet another project under the moniker, Ghost Pains along with Absolute Monarchs drummer Michael Stubz.
