Chiffonier

The term chiffonier, also chiffonnier, may refer to one of at least two types of furniture. Its name comes directly from a French piece of furniture, the chiffonier. The French name, which comes from the French for a rag-picker, suggests that it was originally intended as a receptacle for odds and ends which had no place elsewhere.

British chiffonier
In British usage, a chiffonier is similar to a sideboard, but differentiated by its smaller size and by the enclosure of the whole of the front by doors.

It was one of the many curious developments of the mixed taste, at once cumbrous and bizarre, which prevailed in furniture during the Empire period in England. The earliest chiffoniers date from that time; they are usually of rosewood – the favorite timber of that moment; their furniture (the technical name for knobs, handles, and escutcheons) was most commonly of brass, and there was very often a raised shelf with a pierced brass gallery at the back. The doors were well panelled and often edged with brass-beading, while the feet were pads or claws, or, in the choicer examples, sphinxes in gilded bronze.

American chiffonier
In North America, a chiffonier is quite different. There it refers to a tall, narrow and elegant chest of drawers, frequently with a mirror attached on top. It is also one half of the American portmanteau piece of furniture called a chifforobe.

In media

 * Chapter 39 of Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-44) by Charles Dickens mentions "Well might she take the keys out of the little chiffonier which held the tea and sugar"
 * Poet and physician William Carlos Williams mentions a chiffonier in verse XIII of the poem "January Morning": "Work hard all your young days/and they’ll find you too, some morning/staring up under/your chiffonier at its warped/bass-wood bottom and your soul/—out!"
 * A chiffonier is mentioned in chapters 4 and 18 in Gene Stratton-Porter's last novel The Keeper of the Bees (1925)
 * It appears five times (chapter 2: once, chapter 3: three times, chapter 13: once) in the novel The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger.
 * The retired courtesan Madame Armfeldt in the Stephen Sondheim musical A Little Night Music sings the couplet "In the castle of the King of the Belgians/ We would visit through a false chiffonier" in her first-act song "Liaisons."
 * In episode twenty of Sesame Street, “Oscar Cleans House” (5 December 1969), Oscar the Grouch tells Gordon, “Don’t scratch my chiffonier.” “Scratch your what?” Gordon asks.  “My chiffonier over there,” Oscar responds, motioning to the chiffonier upon which Gordon had placed Oscar’s bicycle pieces.  Gordon then looks at Oscar’s chiffonier, says “Your chiffonier?” and shrugs.
 * Mrs. Alma Wheatley from Netflix mini-series The Queen’s Gambit refers to a chiffonier when she tells Beth to get the supplies needed to take care of her first period. However, this appears to be her bedside night table.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use/Fair use rationale

This page is a description of stock "fair use" rationales for use with "fair use" copyright tags on the English-language Wikipedia. If the "fair use" tags are correctly applied to images, these descriptions should be accurate in describing the claims Wikipedia would make as to the "fair use" status of said images were they taken to court.

All of these claims only apply of course if the images are properly tagged. Since Wikipedia is a large site edited by large numbers of users, most of whom are not familiar with United States copyright law but are editing in good faith, not all images may be properly used or tagged.

Notice to copyright owners: If you believe Wikipedia is infringing your copyright, you may choose to raise the issue using Request for immediate removal of copyright violation. Alternatively, you may choose to contact Wikipedia's designated agent under the terms of the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act.

General rationale

 * For images labeled with fairuse.

The Copyright Act of 1976, defines four factors to consider when deciding if the copying of a copyrighted work is fair and allowable without the consent of the copyright holder :

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—

 * 1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
 * 2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
 * 3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
 * 4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

In general, all such-labeled content on the English-language Wikipedia would ideally qualify because:
 * 1) The purpose of Wikipedia is primarily educational. It is hosted by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and derives no revenue from the copyrighted material on its servers. Its purpose is not to defraud or defame copyright holders. Any usage of any content in Wikipedia must be, as defined by other Wikipedia policies, "encyclopedic", and be of scientific, literary, artistic, or otherwise academic and educational merit.
 * 2) Any such media on Wikipedia ought to be a small part of the copyrighted material as a whole, and at the very least be of such inferior quality from the original that it could not be reasonably considered an acceptable alternative to the original.
 * 3) Where possible, the original copyright holders, when known, should be clearly marked, indicating both that Wikipedia does not claim copyright over the media in question, and allowing those who would seek to license the media or purchase copies of the media from the original copyright holder to legitimately and easily do this. Each image tag should be clearly marked to indicate that any other usage of the media, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may in fact be copyright infringement.
 * 4) Ideally, none of the copyrighted media use on Wikipedia would be media which could be easily replaced or replicated with non-copyrighted media, and all of it would contribute to the overally encyclopedic goal of the project.

Above are only the most general rationale for Wikipedia "fair use" media. Below are more specific rationales according to designated categories of media and usage.

Media covers

 * For images labeled with albumcover, boardgamecover, bookcover, and gamecover.

Along with the general fair use rationale provided at the top of this page, covers of various media are thought to be "fair use" when used on Wikipedia to illustrate articles directly pertaining to the item of media in question, with reference to the fact that the image is a cover of a specific item of media. Along with the general rationale above, in these cases it is specifically thought because:

 * 1) The cover of the media is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the media, and does not pose a significant risk of defrauding the publisher (and in fact may encourage the increased legitimate sales of said media).
 * 2) Because the images are provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the media cover, their usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy (the re-printing of covers to accompany with pirated discs or tapes, for example), or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or a poster.
 * 3) There are likely no "free" alternatives for the illustration of said copyrighted media which would not be themselves infringements on copyrights or trademarks. A low-resolution, correctly attributed image of the media itself, with its copyrighted status clearly indicated, is a better alternative than any other image, for Wikipedia's educational purpose.

Flaine

Flaine is a ski area in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps, and is a part of the linked Grand Massif domain. It is in the territory of the communes of Magland and Arâches-la-Frasse. Flaine is linked to Samoëns, Morillon, Les Carroz and Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, with 267 km of pistes in total. It featured the first 8-seater high speed chairlift, Les Grands Vans, and the first snow cannons to be installed in Europe. Flaine is often called the "big snowy bowl" due to it having one of the best snow records in the Alps. It is a modern, car-free resort with a wealth of amenities, all in close proximity to the accommodation.

An encounter between Man, Mountain and Art
The site was discovered in 1959 by the geophysicist Éric Boissonnas and the Swiss architect Gérard Chervaz, who went on to succeed in their bid to create a fine example of urban development, architecture and design, where short-term profitability would be second to aesthetics and care of the environment.

Éric and Sylvie Boissonnas entrusted Flaine’s design to Marcel Breuer (1902–1981), the eminent Bauhaus architect whose structural designs are well-known around the world. These include The "Palais de l'Unesco" in Paris, the Whitney Museum, The Atlanta-Fulton Central Branch Library, Flushing Meadows Sports Park in New York City, and the Bijenkorf in Rotterdam. Breuer is also known for his innovative use of materials (i.e. tubular steel) in creating his iconic furniture designs. With one of his signature pieces being the Wassily Chair.

Functionality and integration
Right from the design stage, Éric Boissonnas and Marcel Breuer were careful not to disturb the natural surroundings and integrate the resort into the receiving mountain. In other words, the general layout blends in with the environment's contours, and the different levels which make up the resort can not be seen from one to the other. The result is a feeling of privacy and tranquillity.

The master plan; the ski runs designed by champion Émile Allais; the technical network for electric cables; gondola lift stations on the same level as the ski runs; even the colour of concrete reminiscent of the surrounding rocks:- everything was inspired by the ambition to find a balance between functionality and integration.

Construction
The construction of the resort was not without difficulty. Chappis and Pradelle left after Breuer joined the team, Boissonnas fell out with the government official in charge of planning France's winter sports industry and when local landowners found out that Boissonnas was a billionaire they threatened to block the building of the access road to the resort until they received adequate compensation. The result was a three-year delay and huge cost overruns, and led to greater state involvement in French ski resort development. By the time the resort was opened on 17 January 1969 it had probably cost Boissonnas the equivalent of around $250 million from his personal fortune at 2005 prices.

The site is divided into two areas which are joined by two free lifts. The upper area, Flaine Forêt, at an altitude of 1700 m, consists of a number of apartment buildings named after constellations, the Éric et Sylvie Boissonnas Auditorium, shops, offices and restaurants. The lower area, Flaine Forum, at an altitude of 1600 m, has more restaurants, shops, bars and accommodation.

The resort boasts a wealth of monumental works of art - "La Tête de Femme" by Pablo Picasso, "Le Boqueteau" by Jean Dubuffet, and "Les Trois Hexagones" by Victor Vasarely.

New developments
Hameau de Flaine is just outside the main resort and in between this and Flaine is "Flaine Montsoleil", a new development which has the same 'ski-in, ski-out' feel as the main resort but constructed in a more traditional alpine style.

More apartments like Montsoleil are going in just above the Hameau next to the golf course. Opened in 2011, it has been called "Le Refuge de Golf" (The Golf Refuge).

Location
Flaine is about 1 hour and 15 minutes away from Geneva Airport, approximately 3 hours drive from Lyon, and 30 km from the A 40 motorway (l'Autoroute Blanche). It is close to resorts Les Houches, Les Contamines, large ski area Chamonix-Mont-Blanc as well as the Portes du Soleil region — notably resorts Les Gets and Morzine. Trips to Italy via the Mont Blanc Tunnel to Courmayeur are also possible.

Bus services are available several times a day to Taninges in the Giffre Valley (where resorts Morillon and Samoëns are situated) where buses to Geneva and Chamonix can be accessed. The bus service is run by Transdev Alpbus.

Ski terrain
There is skiing for most in Flaine, as the resort enjoys a particular reputation as being all rounded.

The most notable runs in Flaine include Faust (red); Diamant Noir (black); Serpentine (blue); Fred (red); Tourmaline (blue) and Méphisto (blue).

In Les Carroz, Morillon, and Samoëns classic runs include Marvel; a fabulously long green that goes through the forest, Sairon; a long blue with many jumps and banks on the side of the piste, Lou Darbes; a medium length blue run that is downhill all the way — an excellent run for 'bombing' down, and Aigle Noir, a steep, difficult black run.

The predominantly north-facing runs are very reliable: package companies offering "snow guarantees" often import punters from other French resorts when their pistes have lost the amount of sufficient snow that can be skied on. Flaine was the first resort to feature artificial snow making in Europe from 1973.

In each different grade of run (green, blue, red, & black) there is a theme in the Flaine bowl. For example most of the blue runs are named after metals/jewels (e.g. Serpentine, Turquoise, Dolomie, Cristal, Tourmaline, Émeraude), nearly all the reds are diabolically named (e.g. Faust, Méphisto, Belzébuth, Lucifer) and most black runs after stones (e.g. Diamant Noir, Agate). Most green runs are named after trees (e.g. Mélèze, Pin, Epicea). This only occurs in the Flaine valley though; the other resorts' runs are named separately. However the same names are repeated in different resorts. For example "Combe", valley, is a popular name because of the many runs leading into valleys. Arête, ridge, is also popular.

In Flaine Forum, the Nursery Slopes are served by a small chairlift (Le Pré) which is excellent for beginners due to the fact that it doesn't go far above the snow. They are also interesting as they go down from the resort centre, rather than down to the resort. There is also a short green run which runs to the left of the lift.

Lift system
There is a free lift (Télébenne) which links up the upper and lower parts of Flaine. Flaine is in the process of implementing an upgrade program to its lifts and trails called Flaine Perspectives 2006–2010. For 2006, new gondola cabins were installed on Aup de Véran, whilst the base station was renovated for 2007. For 2008, the Les Gerats lift was installed to allow better access to the new Intrawest village (Flaine Montsoleil). In addition the Tête des Verds 6-person detachable chair was installed from the main base area. For 2009, Flaine aim to renovate the Télébenne, installation of a 4-person chair to replace the Bois button, to be called Aujon and the installation of a 4-person chair to link the western part of the Intrawest village.

Music in Flaine
Académie Internationale de Musique (Flaine International Music Academy) is held every August. Its aim is to teach music to a high level and to hold free concerts in the Eric et Sylvie Boissonnas Auditorium a 500-seater auditorium. ‘Musique in Flaine’ came about when a number of music teachers involved with the Bain de Musique wanted to set up a high level academy devoted to chamber music.

Walking
Flaine is a centre for summer walking. A walker can either take the GR96 or take a lift to the Les Grandes Patières (2480 m) which gives access to the Désert de Platé a fine and extensive limestone pavement (known in French as a "lapiaz"). From there visitors can walk to the Refuge de Platé which is fully open from mid-June to mid-September. The route takes the walker past deep ravines, rocks and fissures which contain moss campion, gentians and other flowers. In the other direction, also on GR96, walkers can go past the Lac de Flaine, climb to the Col de Cou, down to the Col de la Frête (1347 m) and then to the tiny hamlet of La Colonnaz from here there is a relatively flat broad track to Les Carroz. The whole route should take about 3½ hours. Other walks that can be taken are to the Belvédère d’Anjon where views over the valley can be had.

Golf
The Golf course is open between July and September. It is positioned at the Col de Pierre Carrée at an altitude of 1900 metres, making it one of the highest golf courses in Europe. The course is spread over 3500m of available green, and also has a driving range, putting green and training area. There is also a restaurant with a small sun deck and simple menu combining local produce.

Evolution and environmental issues
Flaine is situated on a geological plate of rock called the "Désert de Platé". This type of rock formation is extremely rugged and cracked looking. It is no surprise therefore that there an unusually large number of crevasses and potholes in the area, which are particularly visible in summer. Due to most of them being covered by thin layers of snow, they are not visible in the winter. This makes skiing off piste in the Flaine area fairly dangerous.

Night life
The most popular bar for British holiday-makers in Flaine is "le White Pub" — known as "the White Grouse" before being bought out by a pair of French entrepreneurs in 2004. Le White Pub shows sporting events but these tend to be more of a Winter Sports style. The bar is mainly used by attracting package tour groups on 'benders'.

Also in the area is the "Perdrix Noire" i.e. Black Grouse. This pub attracts a mixed crowd of French and British.

The bowling alley bar has late opening hours until 2AM.

Crime
The crime associated with larger resorts was notable by its absence in Flaine until the turn of the 21st century. A few years ago there had been increasing reports of burglaries, muggings and minor assaults. Nowadays crime has seemed to have declined because of Flaine promoting itself as a more 'family resort'.

Merge FL section with Newark Pepper?
Is there any support (or opposition) for taking the Federal League Hoosiers section and merging it with Newark Pepper, leaving behind a "main article" tag? It seems logical to me. Perhaps the new article should be titled Indianapolis Hoosiers/Newark Pepper to mirror the Buffeds/Blues and Chi-Feds/Whales article title structure. -Dewelar (talk) 19:05, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Languages of Russia

Of all the languages of Russia, Russian, the most widely spoken language, is the only official language at the national level. There are 25 other official languages, which are used in different regions of Russia. These languages include; Ossetic, Ukrainian, Buryat, Kalmyk, Chechen, Ingush, Abaza, Adyghe, Cherkess, Kabardian, Altai, Bashkir, Chuvash, Crimean Tatar, Karachay-Balkar, Khakas, Nogai, Tatar, Tuvan, Yakut, Erzya, Komi, Hill Mari, Meadow Mari, Moksha, and Udmurt. There are over 100 minority languages spoken in Russia today.

History
Russian lost its status in many of the new republics that arose following the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union. In Russia, however, the dominating status of the Russian language continued. Today, 97% of the public school students of Russia receive their education only or mostly in Russian, even though Russia is made up of approximately 80% ethnic Russians.

Russification
On 19 June 2018, the Russian State Duma adopted a bill that made education in all languages but Russian optional, overruling previous laws by ethnic autonomies, and reducing instruction in minority languages to only two hours a week. This bill has been likened by some commentators, such as in Foreign Affairs, to a policy of Russification.

When the bill was still being considered, advocates for the minorities warned that the bill could endanger their languages and traditional cultures. The law came after a lawsuit in the summer of 2017, where a Russian mother claimed that her son had been "materially harmed" by learning the Tatar language, while in a speech Vladimir Putin argued that it was wrong to force someone to learn a language that is not their own. The later "language crackdown" in which autonomous units were forced to stop mandatory hours of native languages was also seen as a move by Putin to "build identity in Russian society".

Protests and petitions against the bill by either civic society, groups of public intellectuals or regional governments came from Tatarstan (with attempts for demonstrations suppressed), Chuvashia, Mari El, North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, the Karachays, the Kumyks, the Avars, Chechnya, and Ingushetia. Although the "hand-picked" Duma representatives from the Caucasus did not oppose the bill, it prompted a large outcry in the North Caucasus with representatives from the region being accused of cowardice. The law was also seen as possibly destabilizing, threatening ethnic relations and revitalizing the various North Caucasian nationalist movements. The International Circassian Organization called for the law to be rescinded before it came into effect. Twelve of Russia's ethnic autonomies, including five in the Caucasus called for the legislation to be blocked.

On 10 September 2019, Udmurt activist Albert Razin self-immolated in front of the regional government building in Izhevsk as it was considering passing the controversial bill to reduce the status of the Udmurt language. Between 2002 and 2010 the number of Udmurt speakers dwindled from 463,000 to 324,000. Other languages in the Volga region recorded similar declines in the number of speakers; between the 2002 and 2010 censuses the number of Mari speakers declined from 254,000 to 204,000 while Chuvash recorded only 1,042,989 speakers in 2010, a 21.6% drop from 2002. This is attributed to a gradual phasing out of indigenous language teaching both in the cities and rural areas while regional media and governments shift exclusively to Russian.

In the North Caucasus, the law came after a decade in which educational opportunities in the indigenous languages was reduced by more than 50%, due to budget reductions and federal efforts to decrease the role of languages other than Russian. During this period, numerous indigenous languages in the North Caucasus showed significant decreases in their numbers of speakers even though the numbers of the corresponding nationalities increased, leading to fears of language replacement. The numbers of Ossetian, Kumyk and Avar speakers dropped by 43,000, 63,000 and 80,000 respectively. As of 2018, it has been reported that the North Caucasus is nearly devoid of schools that teach in mainly their native languages, with the exception of one school in North Ossetia, and a few in rural regions of Dagestan; this is true even in largely monoethnic Chechnya and Ingushetia. Chechen and Ingush are still used as languages of everyday communication to a greater degree than their North Caucasian neighbours, but sociolinguistics argue that the current situation will lead to their degradation relative to Russian as well.

In 2020, a set of amendments to the Russian constitution was approved by the State Duma and later the Federation Council. One of the amendments is to enshrine Russian as the “language of the state-forming nationality” and the Russian people as the ethnic group that created the nation. The amendment has been met with criticism from Russia's minorities who argue that it goes against the principle that Russia is a multinational state and will only marginalize them further.

Official languages
Although Russian is the only federally official language of Russia, there are several other officially recognized languages within Russia's various constituencies – article 68 of the Constitution of Russia only allows the various republics of Russia to establish official languages other than Russian. This is a list of the languages that are recognized as official in constitutions of the republics of Russia, as well as the number of native speakers according mostly to the 2010 Census or more recent ones:

The Constitution of Dagestan defines "Russian and the languages of the peoples of Dagestan" as the state languages, though no comprehensive list of the languages was given. 14 of these languages (including Russian) are literary written languages; therefore they are commonly considered to be the official languages of Dagestan. These are, besides Russian, the following: Aghul, Avar, Azerbaijani, Chechen, Dargwa, Kumyk, Lak, Lezgian, Nogai, Rutul, Tabasaran, Tat and Tsakhur. All of these, except Russian, Chechen and Nogai, are official only in Dagestan and in no other Russian republic. In the project of the "Law on the languages of the Republic of Dagestan" 32 languages are listed; however, this law project never came to life.

Karelia is the only republic of Russia with Russian as the only official language. However, there exists the special law about state support and protection of the Karelian, Vepsian and Finnish languages in the republic, see next section.

Other recognized languages
The Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan adopted the Law on the Languages of Nations, which is one of the regional laws aimed at protecting and preserving minority languages. The main provisions of the law include General Provisions, Language names of geographic regions. objects and inscriptions, road and other signs, liability for violations of Bashkortostan in the languages of Bashkortostan. In the Republic of Bashkortostan, equality of languages is recognized. Equality of languages is a combination of the rights of peoples and people to preserve and fully develop their native language, freedom of choice and use of the language of communication. The writing of names of geographical objects and the inscription, road and other signs along with the state language of the Republic of Bashkortostan can be done in the languages of Bashkortostan in the territories where they are concentrated. Similar laws were adopted in Mari El, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Khakassia and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

The federal law "On the languages of the peoples of the Russian Federation" allows the federal subjects to establish additionally official languages in the areas where minority groups live. The following 15 languages benefit from various degrees of recognition in various regions under this law:
 * Buryat in the Agin-Buryat Okrug
 * Chukchi in Sakha
 * Dolgan in Sakha
 * Even in Sakha
 * Evenki in Sakha
 * Finnish in Karelia
 * Karelian in Karelia
 * Kazakh in Altai
 * Khanty in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug
 * Komi-Permyak in the Komi-Permyak Okrug
 * Mansi in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug
 * Nenets in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug
 * Selkup in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug
 * Veps in Karelia
 * The Yukaghir languages in Sakha

Migrant languages
As a result of mass migration to Russia from the former USSR republics (especially from the Caucasus and Central Asia) many non-indigenous languages are spoken by migrant workers. For example, in 2014 2.4 million Uzbek citizens and 1.2 million Tajik citizens entered Russia.

For comparison, Russian citizens with ethnicities matching these of home countries of migrant workers of are much lower (from 2010 Russian Census, in thousands):

Endangered languages in Russia
There are many endangered languages in Russia. Some are considered to be near extinction and put on the list of endangered languages in Russia, and some may have gone extinct since data was last reported. On the other hand, some languages may survive even with few speakers.

Some languages have doubtful data, like Serbian whose information in the Ethnologue is based on the 1959 census.

Languages near extinction
Most numbers are according to Michael Krauss, 1995. Given the time that has passed, languages with extremely few speakers might be extinct today. Since 1994, Kerek, Aleut, Medny Aleut, Akkala Sami and Yugh languages have become extinct.

 * Enets (70)
 * Ingrian
 * Negidal
 * Orok (30–82)
 * Sami, Ter (2)
 * Tofalar (25–30)
 * Udege (100)
 * Votic (8, 60-non native)
 * Ket (20 speakers) (2019)
 * Yukaghir, Northern (30–150)
 * Yukaghir, Southern (10–50)
 * Yupik

Foreign languages
According to the various studies made in 2005-2008 by Levada Center 15% of Russians know a foreign language. From those who claim knowledge of at least one language:

Knowledge of at least one foreign language is common among younger and middle-aged people. Among those aged 18–24, 38% can read and "translate with a dictionary", 11% can freely read and speak. Among those aged 25–39, these numbers are 26% and 4% respectively.

Knowledge of a foreign language varies among social groups. It is most appreciable (15-18%) in big cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants, while in Moscow it rises up to 35%. People with higher education and high economic and social status are more likely to know a foreign language.

The new study by Levada-Center in April 2014 reveals such numbers:

The age and social profiling are the same: knowledge of a foreign language is predominant among the young or middle-aged population, those with a high level of education and high social status, and those who live in big cities.

In 2015, a survey taken in all federal subjects of Russia showed that 70% of Russians could not speak a foreign language. Almost 30% could speak English, 6% could speak German, 1% could speak French, 1% could speak Spanish, 1% could speak Arabic and 0.5% could speak another language.

History
In the 18th and 19th centuries, French was a common language among upper class Russians. The impetus came from Peter the Great's orientation of Russia towards Europe and accelerated after the French Revolution. After the Russians fought France in the Napoleonic Wars, Russia became less inclined towards French.

Languages of education
Every year the Russian Ministry of Education and Science publishes statistics on the languages used in schools. In 2014/2015 the absolute majority (13.1 million or 96%) of 13.7 million Russian students used Russian as a medium of education. Around 1.6 million or 12% students studied their (non-Russian) native language as a subject. The most studied languages are Tatar, Chechen and Chuvash with 347,000, 253,000 and 107,000 students respectively.

The most studied foreign languages in 2013/2014 were as follows:

Although the "best multipurpose stadium" is opinion, it is a very widely held opinion that Busch Stadium was the best or one of the best of the lot. See and  and, to name a few. Given the very low opinion of the multipurpose stadium in general, the phrase "best multipurpose stadium" is not much a compliment, but I think it does add appropriate information to the article. If you have any strong objections, please let me know. I am also going to post this same message on the article's Talk page. -- DS1953 14:53, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * I have objections. It's POV. Words like "best" really shouldn't be on Wikipedia except in extreme cases. Opinions really shouldn't be in articles. --Woohookitty 15:00, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * As it was originally written, I agree that it was POV. I disagree strongly, however, that words like "best" shouldn't be on Wikipedia "except in extreme cases". If properly worded and appropriately sourced, commonly held opinions are reportable facts.  Thus, in Citizen Kane, when the article states "Many critics consider Citizen Kane the best film ever made," that is a verifiable fact that puts the film in proper perspective and distinguishes it from such other fine films as Police Academy 7.  Similarly, language along the lines of "Although the multipurpose sports stadium has generally been criticized by writers and fans alike, many writers have recognized Busch Stadium as one of the best multipurpose stadiums" is not POV if it is verifiable.  It is just a statement of fact. -- DS1953 16:33, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Disambig
I added a disambiguational blurb at the beginning...post comments here, please. Clarkefreak ∞ 01:56, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Good idea. An evolving situation, I assume... Once the new one is actually open, it will be become the "primary" Busch Stadium with the recently-demolished one the secondary. In fact, now that "Busch II" is no longer standing and "Busch III" is approaching being completed, I think you should do it right away. d:) Wahkeenah 02:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I think that Busch Stadium should point directly to Busch 3 now, and we should change the name of Busch 3 to just Busch. My thoughts. --Jcarkeys 23:64, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I think we should hold on and see how the Cardinals team, announcers, etc. label the new park. I'm sure they'll be calling it "Busch Stadium III" or "New Busch" for awhile, but it won't be long before it's just plain "Busch Stadium", and then you could make the final adjustments. Wahkeenah 00:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I think that "Busch Stadium" should just link directly to Busch III, since that is the currently-used stadium...I added my disambig blurb during the interregnum of the offseason, and had on my personal to-do list to move things around once the season rolled around. We should just link this to that page, with a disambig blurb at the beginning for Sportsman's and Busch II. Clarkefreak ∞ 03:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

 * It was featured in the game Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2. In one level during the Allied campaign the player must destroy a Soviet Psychic Beacon that is located in the ruins of the stadium.
 * From day one, the stadium's electric scoreboard, which cost $1.5 million, featured a cardinal which fluttered and chirped when the Cardinals hit a home run.
 * In the inaugural game, the Cardinals defeated the Atlanta Braves 4–3 in 12 innings. The game's first pitch was thrown by Ray Washburn.
 * The stadium hosted its lone All-Star Game in its first year of existence. The 1966 contest came during a record heat wave that swept the Northeast and Midwest, and several spectators suffered heatstroke. Casey Stengel, when asked what he thought of the new stadium, remarked, "It holds the heat well!"
 * The Musial statue was unveiled on a Sunday in August 1968, after the Chicago Cubs had swept a three-game series; some fans feared the statue might turn out to be of Ernie Banks.
 * The 1968 film Paper Lion was partially filmed at Busch.
 * Parts of the 2005 film Fever Pitch filmed at Busch.
 * The naming rights for Busch Stadium were purchased by Anheuser-Busch in 1996, and the stadium's logo was then modeled after the logo for Busch beer.
 * At the regular season "final game" ceremonies on October 2, 2005, the club celebrated its almost 40-year history at the "old Bottle Cap" (Busch Stadium) with a two-hour post game ceremony. The Cardinals honored 11 employees who had worked there for the stadium's entire 40 year history; it also brought back stars from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Also honored were the 2005 team and the "men who built the park," Jack Buck and August A. Busch, Jr. the founder's grandson and former chairman of Anheuser-Busch. For the first time in over a decade the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales trotted around the warning track, while the 50,000+ fans in attendance sang "Here Comes the King!" (a Budweiser jingle dating back to the 1970s) along with organist Ernie Hays.
 * The final game in Busch Stadium was played on October 19, 2005, Game 6 of the National League Championship Series. The Houston Astros beat the Cardinals 5-1, taking the series 4-2. The last out recorded in the stadium was caught by Astro Jason Lane in right field off the bat of Yadier Molina off Houston relief pitcher Dan Wheeler. Lane also hit the last home run in Busch Stadium during this game.In tribute to the stadium, at the end of the game a loud chant of "Lets go Cardinals" went around the stadium. Exactly 50 days later, the 40-year-old stadium was only a memory.

Curse of the Bambino
I want to make clear this about Busch Memorial Stadium: This is the field where the Curse of the Bambino died at. That's why I added templates about the Boston Red Sox. This is because it was at Busch Stadium that the Curse of the Bambino died in 2004, not at Fenway Park. -- SNIyer12, (talk), 11:33, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That's already clear in the article. However, the two navboxes you keep adding are NOT necessary. I feel that trying to promote this is adding too much weight on that fact, when really, it's kind of a footnote in the stadium's ~40 year history. Besides the fact of which, there's *already* an entry to "Death of the Curse of the Bambino" in the Cardinals navbox which links to the '04 series - we don't need extra links to it. (I also note that this has been pointed out to you in the history of as well.) I feel like you're a little obsessed with this subject, and are pushing it too hard in places.  umrguy  42  15:23, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I should also point out (and I think I have), and I can see it's been pointed out to you before by others, that the "Curse of the Bambino" is Red Sox/Red Sox-Yankees lore. NOT Cardinals lore. Seriously, the vast majority of Cards fans were bummed that we had a great regular season and then got totally swept by the Sox juggernaut in the Series, rather than "zOMG, they broke the Curse!". umrguy  42  15:26, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Old Cape Cod

"Old Cape Cod" is a song written by Claire Rothrock, Milton Yakus and Allan Jeffrey that was published in 1957. The single, as recorded by Patti Page, became a gold record, having sold more than a million copies. Hailed by Cape Cod natives as the "unofficial Cape Cod Anthem, if ever there was one," the song has been credited with "putting the Cape on the map" and helping to establish Cape Cod as a major tourist destination.

Background
The song extols the virtues of Cape Cod as a leisure destination with each verse ending with the line "You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod." The nucleus of the song was a poem written by Boston-area housewife Claire Rothrock, for whom Cape Cod was a favorite vacation spot. "Old Cape Cod" and its derivatives would be Rothrock's sole evident songwriting credit. She brought her poem to Ace Studios, a Boston recording studio owned by Milton Yakus, who adapted the poem into the song's lyrics. His associate Allan Jeffrey wrote the music and a demo recording was made at Ace.

Recording and impact
Patti Page had previously had a hit with the Milton Yakus composition "Go on with the Wedding" in 1956. However, according to Page, Claire Rothrock brought "Old Cape Cod" directly to her, approaching Page at a Boston nightclub where the singer was performing. Page says of the song: "I just fell in love with it." She recorded "Old Cape Cod" during a day trip to New York City, enabling her return to Boston in time for that evening's nightclub performance. The song was intended to be the B-side of her next single, "Wondering".

The "Wondering"/"Old Cape Cod" single was released by Mercury Records on April 23, 1957 as catalog number 71101. Both tracks debuted on the Billboard magazine charts for the week ending June 3, and "Old Cape Cod" quickly became the dominant track, peaking at number three on Billboard 's Most Played by Jockeys chart, number eight on the Best Sellers In Stores chart and number seven on the Top 100 composite chart for 1957. "Old Cape Cod" spent 18 weeks on the Cash Box magazine Best Selling Singles list, peaking at number eight and holding there for three consecutive weeks. The song was a hit in Australia, peaking at number 14.

Legacy
Page had never visited Cape Cod until after the song had been released and became a hit. She later recalled her first visit to the Cape, saying:

"I could not believe it when I finally did go, because I realized that [the song] had captured something about a place that I had had within me for so many years, but never knew. It's unexplainable to me, because it's so dear to me – I knew I had been here before [although] I hadn't."

- Patti Page, February 27, 2010

Her last visit to Cape Cod was in February 2010, when she attended a ceremony held in her honor at the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. Massachusetts state senator Robert O'Leary remarked:

"There was something there, in that song – [for] a lot of us who grew up on the Cape, who lived on the Cape, who spent our summers here – [that we] always think of when we think of Cape Cod: we think of you, and that song. So, we really owe you a big 'thank you' for that."

- Massachusetts State Senator Robert O'Leary, February 27, 2010

Symbolizing Page's "contributions in the promotion of Cape Cod through the years and with her music", the ceremony culminated with the O'Leary's dedication and the unveiling of a new street sign, as the road leading to the Chamber of Commerce was renamed Patti Page Way.

Following Page's death on January 1, 2013, the Chamber of Commerce credited the song's success with helping to establish Cape Cod as a major tourist destination:

"We think she put the Cape on the map. Before the Kennedys, before our successful marketing ever did it, she did."

- Wendy Northcross, Executive Director, Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce

The song was referenced by Bruce Johnston in the lyrics of "Disney Girls", his nostalgic song about growing up in the 1950s: "Patti Page and summer days on old Cape Cod."

Other versions

 * "Old Cape Cod" was the subject of a 1990 lawsuit after a sound-alike song appeared in a 1989 commercial for American Savings Bank. Page sued the advertising agency, alleging that the commercial implied that Page endorsed the bank.
 * Bing Crosby performed "Old Cape Cod" on his CBS Radio program in 1957, and the recording was released after his death. Also in 1957, Michael Holliday covered the song for the U.K. market. His version, which featured the Norrie Paramor Orchestra, failed to chart. The Norman Petty Trio also recorded the song in 1957, a version that was originally featured on the Top 12 Vol 4 multi-artist compilation album and subsequently on Songs of New England, a 1962 multi-artist compilation album.
 * In 1960, Susan Barrett recorded "Old Cape Cod" for her A Little Travelin' Music album. The track was included on the 1994 multi-artist compilation Capitol Sings Coast to Coast. Also in 1960, instrumentalist Billy Vaughn included the song on his soundtrack album for The Sundowners and as the B-side of the title track's single release, which reached #51.
 * Jerry Vale's 1963 version bubbled under the Hot 100, peaking at #118. It was included on his 1964 album Have You Looked Into Your Heart. Also in 1963, Bobby Rydell remade "Old Cape Cod" for his Wild (Wood) Days album.
 * In 1965 the Four Freshmen recorded a version "Old Cape Cod" as the B-side for their theme for the film Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. Neither side became a hit, but "Old Cape Cod" did reach #33 on the Easy Listening chart. Also in 1965, recordings of "Old Cape Cod" were made by Robert Goulet for his album Summer Sounds and by Jane Morgan for her album In My Style.

Other artists who have recorded "Old Cape Cod" include:
 * Tennessee Ernie Ford recorded the song for his 1968 album release Tennessee Ernie Ford's World of Pop and Country Hits. That same year, Dottie West recorded the song for her album Feminine Fancy.
 * Bette Midler recorded the song for her 1972 debut album The Divine Miss M, although the track, which was produced by Midler with Joel Dorn, first appeared on 1976's Songs for the New Depression and reached #36 on the adult contemporary chart.
 * Anne Murray remade the song for Croonin', a 1993 album consisting of hit songs from the 1950s.
 * An instrumental version of "Old Cape Cod" was featured on the 1998 album Matinee Idylls, recorded by Dean Cassell and Milt Reder of Super Genius under the name Four Piece Suit.
 * Emile Pandolfi covered an instrumental piano version of the song for his album What a Wonderful World in 1999.
 * Mary Duff recorded the song for her 2006 album release Time After Time; the song was the first title in a Patti Page medley that also featured "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming" and "Allegheny Moon."
 * In 2007, the Puppini Sisters recorded the song for their album The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo.
 * Beegie Adair
 * Thumbs Carllile
 * Wild Bill Davison
 * Don Lanphere
 * John Prine
 * Jimmie Rodgers
 * In 2008, a mid-tempo version was recorded by "Buffalo Crooner" Mark Weber.
 * A Danish rendering of "Old Cape Cod," entitled "Der er bedst hos dig," was recorded by Ivan Meldgaard & the Four Jacks (da) in 1958. In 1967 Shirley Théroux (fr) recorded "Old Cape Cod" with French lyrics for her self-titled album, and the track appeared as the B-side of her single "Un homme est dans ma vie."
 * A sample of Patti Page's recording formed the basis of Groove Armada's 1997 UK hit "At the River". The lines "If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air / Quaint little villages here and there," sung in Page's multi-tracked close harmony, are repeated with the addition of synthesizer bass, slowed-down drums and a bluesy trombone solo to produce a chill-out track.

 * American Idol finalist and Cape Cod native Siobhan Magnus released a version in February 2013 honoring Page, who had died earlier in the year, and donating 50% of sales to the United Way.

Soundtrack appearances

 * "Old Cape Cod" was featured in the 1990 film Die Hard 2, playing on a phonograph record in a character's airport basement apartment.
 * The song plays on the radio in the Donna Deitch film Desert Hearts (1985) when the main character, played by Helen Shaver, moves to a new apartment in Reno, Nevada in the late 1950s.
 * In 2006, the song appeared in the Ridley Scott movie A Good Year, starring Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard.
 * On August 8, 2010, the song appeared on AMC's Mad Men Season 4 episode "The Good News."
 * In 2021 the song was featured in the ‘Red Tide’ portion of American Horror Stories 10th season, “Double Feature.”

Talk:Mellin transform

Relationship with other transforms
The definition of the two-sided Laplace transform is
 * $$\left\{\mathcal{B} f\right\}(s) = \varphi(s) =

\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-sx} f(x) dx$$

Under the substitution $$ x=-\ln\, t $$, $$ t \in [0,\infty]$$ this transforms into
 * $$\left\{\mathcal{B} f\right\}(s) = \varphi(s) =

\int_{0}^{\infty} t^{s} f(-\ln\,t) {dt \over t} \ .$$

So the relationship between Mellin transform and two-sided Laplace transform should be
 * $$\left\{\mathcal{B} f\right\}(s)=\left\{\mathcal{M} f(-\ln\,x)\right\}(s) $$

rather than the stated
 * $$\left\{\mathcal{B} f\right\}(s)=\left\{\mathcal{M} f(e^{-x})\right\}(s) \ ?$$

--212.18.24.11 14:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Hello my question is ..let's suppose we know the Mellin inverse transform of F(s) then..how could we calculate the Mellin inverse transform of F(as) when a is a real number, i believe that if g(x) has F(s) as its Mellin transform then $$ g(x^{1/a})x^{1/a-1} $$ is the inverse of F(as) but i'm not pretty sure --Karl-H 14:20, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Request for Clarification
Hello, I have a question -- the example transform of the function
 * $$f(x) = \frac{1}{1+x} $$

is apparently not convergent on the positive real line since the integral of $$ \lim_{R \rightarrow \infty} \int_{0}^{R} \frac{1}{1+x} dx = \lim_{R \rightarrow \infty} \ln (R) $$ diverges - but you state that the function must be integrable on the positive real line to have a Mellin transform? Could you correct this apparent inconsistency or explain the condition for having a Mellin transform a bit more clearly? --81.146.66.114 14:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * It's supposed to be locally integrable. Corrected. -Zahlentheorie 23:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Ideas for improvement
I think this article could use some restructuring.
 * -I don't think that the fundamental strip is nearly as important as the relationship between the Mellin Transform and Laplace Transform.
 * -Some talk about applications to signal/image processing of the Mellin Transform would be nice.
 * -Discussion of the intuitive meaning of the transform, as a hyperbolic expansion compared to the Fourier Transform's sinusoidal expansion...

Your thoughts?

 * The importance of the fundamental strip is most evident in the use of the Mellin-Perron formula and general Mellin inversion, which is used a lot in number theory and the analysis of algorithms (harmonic sums). Unfortunately the article on Mellin-Perron is a "stub" as of today. It would need additional detailed material to back up this claim (the importance of the fundamental strip). If you don't compute the fundamental strip, you won't know which residues will contribute to the inversion integral. -Zahlentheorie 10:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Fair enough. I'll incorporate some of the suggestions I have into an "Applications" section.  Joe056 14:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Hello there, I do not have the time at the moment for a more detailed comment, but in harmonic sums and hence in CPSC, the key property is not only scale invariance, but the fact that when you scale the argument of the source function by, say, $$\mu$$ (the frequency), you get a factor of $$1/\mu^s$$ in the transform, which produces Dirichlet series when you sum over integer frequencies. -Zahlentheorie 17:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Scale Invariance
I think there's a mistake here. The article says

 * The Mellin Transform is widely used in computer science because of its scale invariance property. The magnitude of the Mellin Transform of a scaled function is identical to the magnitude of the original function. This scale invariance property is analogous to the Fourier Transform's shift invariance property. The magnitude of a Fourier transform of a time-shifted function is identical to the original function.

First of all, I presume that what is intended is The magnitude of the Mellin Transform of a scaled function is identical to the magnitude of the Mellin Transform of the original function. But I don't think even this is correct. Just as the shift invariance of the magnitude of the Fourier transform does not hold for the Laplace transform, the scale invariance property as stated here does not hold for the Mellin transform (though I suspect it holds for purely imaginary z). Consider for examle, the Mellin transform of exp(-at), as given here. 72.75.103.224 03:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Relationship to other transforms
The article indicates the following:

The two-sided Laplace transform may be defined in terms of the Mellin transform by
 * $$ \left\{\mathcal{B} f\right\}(s) = \left\{\mathcal{M} f(-\ln x) \right\}(s)$$

and conversely we can get the Mellin transform from the two-sided Laplace transform by
 * $$\left\{\mathcal{M} f\right\}(s) = \left\{\mathcal{B} f(e^{-x})\right\}(s).$$

This seems inconsistent with the following link which indicates the subsequent text: Laplace Transform

Mellin transform
The Mellin transform and its inverse are related to the two-sided Laplace transform by a simple change of variables.

If in the Mellin transform
 * $$G(s) = \mathcal{M}\{g(\theta)\} = \int_0^\infty \theta^s g(\theta) \, \frac{d\theta} \theta $$

we set $θ = e^{−t}$ we get a two-sided Laplace transform.

Henryk Pietrzak

Henryk Pietrzak (b. 6 March 1914 – 28 January 1990) was a Polish fighter ace of the Polish Air Force in World War II.

Biography
Pietrzak joined the Polish Air Force in 1933, as a member of the 4th Air Regiment where he was flying as a pilot of the Polish 114th Fighter Escadrille Polish 114th Fighter Escadrille and during the Invasion of Poland, he was an instructor in the Central Flying School Centrum Wyszkolenia Lotnictwa nr 1 later flew fighters with the Free French Air Force's GC III/9 squadron.

He joined No. 306 Polish Fighter Squadron as a Sergeant Pilot in August 1941, flying Hawker Hurricanes and Supermarine Spitfires, and was commissioned the following year, eventually becoming a squadron leader. On 31 December 1942 while flying a Spitfire Mk IX (Serial No. EN128) he scored the 500th victory for the UK-based Polish Air Force in the war and was later decorated by Polish President Władysław Raczkiewicz. After starting a second tour with 306 Sqn he joined 315 Polish Fighter Squadron from July 1944 until October 1944, flying P-51 Mustang IIIs. He was awarded the DFC in August 1944.

His score was 7 ( and 2 shared) claimed destroyed and 2 damaged. All his victims were German fighter planes: 3 Messerschmitt Bf 109s and 4.5 Focke-Wulf Fw 190s. He is also credited with destroying four V-1 flying bombs.

He settled in England after the war, commanding 309 Polish Fighter-Reconnaissance Squadron from July 1945 to January 1947, subsequently leaving the Airforce to become a farmer in Suffolk.

Awards
Virtuti Militari, Silver Cross - 10 February 1943 Cross of Valour, four times Air Medal for the War of 1939–45 Distinguished Flying Cross (United Kingdom) - 9 February 1945

Non-Indianapolis flags
Hello, I'm not sure what's difficult here. This article is about the flag of Indianapolis. You have repeatedly reinserted an image which is not and has never been the flag of Indianapolis, and so it is not relevant to this article. If that flag is notable, you could write an article about it and display it there, but it certainly doesn't belong here. Seraphimblade Talk to me 00:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

 * It's okay to show derivative works. E.g. Mona Lisa. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:49, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * That's not a "derivative work", nor a parody or anything like that. It's an unofficial design by a private group that the city never adopted. Seraphimblade Talk to me 00:50, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It 100% is: they did not accidentally end up with a chevron that reproduces the flag in black and white. It is a new work based on an older work. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:52, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It is still not the Indianapolis flag, and so I would still assert it is not appropriate here. Otherwise, we'd be stuck putting in whatever unofficial designs someone want to throw at us; if we let one person or group do it, there's little grounds to say no to someone else. The images here should be of the actual current and historical flags, not unofficial versions. Seraphimblade Talk to me 00:54, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Source for a policy or guideline that says that? Any proof that anyone else thinks that or that there was any harm in having it here for several months? Did you read the image caption? ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:57, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * For a policy or guideline that says articles shouldn't include irrelevant information? I don't think we need a policy to say that; it's the same reason I wouldn't include an image of a Commodore 64 in the Apple IIe article. I would think that's common-sense enough that we don't need a policy to spell that out. Seraphimblade Talk to me 00:58, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Please answer my questions. See also Mona Lisa. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:03, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I am not a trained monkey, and I did answer the questions I cared to. Mona Lisa is not relevant. As it seems we're at something of an impasse here, I suppose I will ask for a third opinion. And yes, several other editors at WikiProject Cities raised concerns over these unofficial flags, you can check the talk page there. That's how I learned of the problem. Seraphimblade Talk to me 01:25, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't recall alleging that you are a non-human. It would be nice if you would stop with these assumptions that you slide into ostensibly neutral statements. If Mona Lisa isn't relevant, then why are any other city flag articles relevant? ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:29, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Because in Mona Lisa, the images included are of things which are in and of themselves notable derivatives. Hence why I said if this flag is notable, you could write an article about it. But it's not (certainly at least not to any of my ability to find), and I can't even find any secondary sources that note it as in any way significant. If there were any sources that stated that Indianapolis had taken ideas from that design for a future flag, or the like, then it might bear mentioning. But barring that, we're giving undue weight to something that has nothing more to do with the flag of Indianapolis than that some private group put together something they said represented Indianapolis. Anyone can do that. I could do that; you could do that. Unless there's some referencing to say that their effort was somehow more significant than you or I doing it, it doesn't belong here. Seraphimblade Talk to me 01:33, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

 * You initially suggested that if this derivative is notable, then I could make an article about it. As you can see, we have no article about Le rire (The Laugh) by Eugène Bataille, or Sapeck (1883) and yet, it's included at that page as an illustrative example of a derivative work. We are not required to have independent articles about all derivative works to show that a flag is used in real life. I've included media in this article to show not only an abstract representation of the flag, but also actual uses of it. This is one such use. This private group is one specifically related to flags, so the idea that your or I could make some random design is spurious. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:39, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you aware of any reliable and independent sources that comment on this particular derivative as of some significance? I'm not able to find any, but maybe you know of some I'm missing. If there aren't any, then my point stands—even if it didn't have enough sourcing to be independently notable, if no third-party reliable sources credit it with any significance at all, it is no different than you or me doing the same. Seraphimblade Talk to me 01:45, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * No and I reject that assertion. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:48, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

The NAVA flag does not belong here. It is an organization with no direct connection to the city; all sorts of organizations may make flags or logos or other designs that may incorporate elements of the city's actual flag, but that is no basis to include in the article, especially without third-party sources indicating why this organization's design is significant outside of the context of their own meeting. Just because NAVA focuses on flags has little relevance. Reywas92Talk 02:12, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Agree. The flag is unofficial & NN, thus making it UNDUE. (t · c)  buidhe  05:47, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/56th Street

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was No Consensus. R e  dwolf24  (talk) 01:18, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

56th Street
Which 56th Street is this, you ask? Why, the one in Tsawwassen, British Columbia, of course! I mean, there aren't any other 56th Streets, are there? What we have here is a streetcruft article filled with a painful amount of trivia (including notes on where traffic lights are) on a road in a minor suburb. Mention a little of it in the Tsawwassen article, but this is ridiculous. I believe even the most inclusive guidelines for road articles don't include things like this. -R. fiend 15:01, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's incredibly comprehensive, but per R. fiend, we don't really need it. --Several Times 15:11, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Exactly why is this road notable? The article does not have any encyclopaedic content. The JPS 17:19, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, is not a notable road. Maybe include a blurb about it in Highway 17 or 99.Gateman1997 17:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, but Move to 56th Street, Tsawwassen, British Columbia and Don't Redirect after move. maybe remove some unencyclopic facts from the text - if any, redo the traffic light markup and create article annual Tsawwassen Sun Festival. Zanaq 18:42, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable street. The very idea of trying to keep articles on every street in the world boggles the mind.  Zoe 19:27, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge, at a minimum, with the Tsawwassen, British Columbia article, although a delete is probably more appropriate. No secondary road is twice to three times as notable as the town it traverses; yet here is a 56th Street article twice to three times as long as the article about the town it runs through. And 56th Street may be a tertiary road. I quail to think what will happen to the WikiServers when the articles for the first 55 streets in Tsawwassen are created. — Friejose 20:41, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: The reason why this road might be notable and probably why this article exists is that 56th Street in Canada is the only road access to Point Roberts, United States. Martg76 22:22, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Over there, at Tsawwassen, British Columbia, where that piece of information belongs, it says so already. That's still no reason to include every single traffic light on that road. Pilatus 22:41, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, let's delete it. Martg76 04:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I wish the anonymous user who created the page and is obviously local to the area would get out his camera and upload a photograph of the border crossing point or of Point Roberts, Washington. That would be useful information; giving details of all intersections and traffic lights is just cramming irrelevant trivia into Wikipedia. Pilatus 11:58, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong delete completely ordinary street. ESkog 22:48, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - per WP:POINT, until we get a WikiProject:Roadwatch. If we're keeping every school in the country, might as well keep every road too. This one seems to have some decent claims anyway. But move to location disambig'd page. FCYTravis 23:10, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * One set of nutty obsessions doesn't justify another. --Calton | Talk 00:30, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry Travis, but it seems your vote is more relevant to WP:POINT than this nomination. Besides, if there are X-thousand schools in the world, then there are a thousand times as many streets. -R. fiend 00:36, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment, do you people really think that someone would have the patience and time to write a lengthy and detailed article about just any old street, unless it was an important 'landmark'? I see no reason for people to want this article to be deleted. The author of the article is clearly trying to illustrate the importance of a street which is considered to be of some significance in Tsawwassen, British Columbia. No one should judge this article simply because they have never heard of it nor seen it. I'm sure there are many of you who don't know what the Blarney Stone is, but if I told you it was a mere rock that was of historical and mythical value to the people of Ireland would you all vote for that article to be deleted? Piecraft 03:04, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Counter-Comment, I realize that many people define their sense of space through their local street system. However, this does not make sreets places in themselves. The vast majority are no-man's-land in which no life can exist on them for very long. Yes, some streets have grown culturally important and evolve a life of their own and these deserve articles. (But) secondly, streets are not notable because what they are associated with. Would I be notable if I had Bill Gates and Michael Jordan living on either side of me? Are streets notable because of a notable business or landmark that exists on their flanks? Thirdly, nobody goes to a street. Streets are the means to achieve an end, and not an end it itself. If you told me that every sinlge citizen of that town used that street twice a day, I would say "Hey, that street should be mentioned in the town's article." If you can muster enough information on the street (that is relevant, on-topic and not duplicated in the town's article) to make the town's article uncomfortably long, then it would justify its own article. The point I'm making? The contents of this article should be moved to the town's article because it is locally important (in terms of access and infrastructure) but means nothing to the rest of the world. Btw, I thought the Blarney Stone was just a great pub in Gastown.  --maclean25 05:36, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect it to Point Roberts, not Tsawwassen, British Columbia. Point Roberts is quite interesting because of it's special status, and 56th street is important to that hamlet.  However, it is not that important to the people of Tsawwassen.  Rename it also to something less ambiguous.  It's a minor road, all the information can be included in the Point Roberts article. - Hahnchen 00:32, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep if references added before end of VfD. JYolkowski // talk 23:31, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I cannot believe there is any debate on this.  A random street in a random town with a few random facts that will not be kept current through the years anyway.  One person's obsession that contains information that even a monagraph on the town would probably not mention.  This is not encyclopedic. Indrian 06:51, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Street provides the only land access through Canada, to part of the USA called Point Roberts, unattached to the USA mainland. That lone should prove significance.--Simon.Pole 10:51, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Not really. Indrian 03:42, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Main road through a large town, but, especially, as per all those who've pointed out about Point Roberts.
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Close Range: Wyoming Stories

Close Range: Wyoming Stories is a 1999 collection of short stories by Annie Proulx, beginning in 1997. The stories are set in the desolate landscape of rural Wyoming and detail the often grim lives of the protagonists.

The collection was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

The best known story from the collection is "Brokeback Mountain", which was previously published as a 64-page novella in 1998. The story was the basis for Ang Lee's 2005 film, Brokeback Mountain.

The volume includes 11 short stories:
 * "The Half-Skinned Steer"
 * "The Mud Below"
 * "Job History"
 * "The Blood Bay"
 * "People in Hell Just Want a Drink of Water"
 * "The Bunchgrass Edge of the World"
 * "Pair a Spurs"
 * "A Lonely Coast"
 * "The Governors of Wyoming"
 * "55 Miles to the Gas Pump", a brief vignette about a rancher's wife who discovers the corpses of missing women in the attic

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ped. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ped~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Talk:Herron School of Art and Design

But who was John Herron
It is interesting, and strange, that no one seems to know anything about who John Herron was, except to say that he was the benefactor of the school. I came to the article looking for any information on him, yet I can find NOTHING about the man himself. Sjkoblentz (talk) 14:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Indianapolis (balance)

Not making sense
How are none of the listed towns included? The paragraph after the list makes no sense, especially with Indianapolis in that list itself. --Eric 00:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it means that "the balance" is pre-consolidation Indianapolis plus pre-consolidated unincorporated area. The list I think is a list of all the officially-existing municipalities that are in the county consolidation; the Census measures Indianapolis as a whole, but it also measures the other consolidated municipalities (such as Rocky Ripple), and therefore it's only fair to measure the area that is in neither the excluded municipalities nor the non-original-Indianapolis included ones.

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move per request.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:48, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Indianapolis (balance), Indiana → Indianapolis (balance) – The city article is at Indianapolis. There is no good reason to use a convoluted and contrived name for this article. older ≠ wiser 20:28, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment but it isn't a type of balance to be disambiguated from Indianapolis, it is an undisambiguated term that needs clarification from standard Wikipedia practice of disambiguation using parenthetical forms... 70.49.124.225 (talk) 03:41, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand your point. The article is about an abstract statistical entity consisting of a portion of the city of Indianapolis. If per wikipedia conventions "Indiana" is unnecessary for to disambiguate the city of Indianapolis proper, why is it necessary for this subportion? We do not append Indiana to neighborhoods in the city. older ≠ wiser 12:36, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I mean that "Indianapolis (balance)" looks like "Indianapolis" with a disambiguator "balance", instead of "Indianapolis (balance)" as a single term. As you mention, portions of cities usually use the city as the qualifier, so this should probably be called Indianapolis (balance), Indianapolis. 70.49.124.225 (talk) 03:47, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I still don't understand why Indianapolis (balance), Indianapolis would be any better. "(balance)" is a disambiguator of a sort. I don't see why it needs to be more complicated than that. older ≠ wiser 23:55, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. In the Census Bureau data tables, the subject is given as either Indianapolis city (balance) or as Indianapolis (city (balance)), Indiana. These two forms seem to be about equally official, and the first one certainly fits our style better. Kauffner (talk) 16:07, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. We don't need the more complicated form when the simpler one serves the purpose just as well or better.--Cúchullain t/ c 17:55, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
