Talk:Biobío Region

Spelling?
The Spanish page has the name as Biobío, rather than Bío-Bío Nik42 03:25, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The official websites of the region (say, Government -Intendencia-, Health Government Service, et cetera) use more constantly the "Bio Bio" spelling than others, including "Biobío", "Bío Bío", and "Bío-Bío".

Template talk:Infobox road/Archive 4

This archive page was moved from Template talk:Infobox Interstate after Templates for deletion/Log/2008 September 2.

Type
Is it really necessary to have the "type=" parameter? It's implied that two-digit Interstates are "Main Interstates" while three-digit Interstates are "Auxiliary Interstates", and if needed, a short blurb could be added to the intro to the article to make up for removing it from the infobox ("I-390 runs for 76 miles north-south from Rochester, New York to the small town of Avoca, New York, where it meets I-86/NY 17. It is one of the longest auxiliary Interstates in the Interstate Highway System."). Plus, the recent trend of using state-specific infoboxes for intrastate Interstates has already eliminated the "type=" parameter. Should we do the same on this template (delete the "type=" parameter) to have consistency between the articles? -- T M F T - C 15:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * And then there are the articles for I-35E (e.g. Interstate 35E (Texas)) and I-35W, which identify themselves as "Branch Interstates." I do agree that it's one of the least useful items in the infobox, though. —C.Fred (talk) 18:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe that the type should stay. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  20:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Really, I don't have an issue with keeping the "type=" parameter - it's just that the recent intrastate Interstate infoboxes that have been popping up are lacking a type line, though one could be added easily by using the "name_notes=" parameter. C.Fred brings up a good point, as I can see the relevance of the type line in that case. Thanks for the input. =) -- T M F T - C 21:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Rschen7754. It should stay.  The "Interstate X in [State]" infoboxes aren't really a big deal, because they all come off of the main page.  Each state may want to use a different infobox for various reasons and have different things in them.  Of course in the Virginia route infoboxes, we don't really have a say about anything.  But intrastate interstates like Interstate 66 (for the most part), and Interstate 74 should use the interstate infobox and the type parameter, because they are the main page for the route.  Did that make sense to anyone else?  --MPD01605 (T / C) 23:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Browse State Hwys. (Revival)
On WT:USRD, we are having a discussion about using which infobox on intrastate Interstates. User:Northenglish, TMF, and I are having an argument on this issue, and it is mainly about browsing State Hwys. Because of the nature on that discussion, I feel if I should bring it up here, since the browse section was deleted two months or so ago. On that discussion, I argued against the point about using Infobox road on intrastate Interstates and proposed strictly using this template unless if the Interstate is multiplexed with a signed route for its entire length. See Interstate 190 (South Dakota) and Interstate 270 (Colorado) for examples. Comments? V60 21:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It's the same infobox...look at the source code. If you haven't noticed, the discussion that you alluded to in this section header dates back to the days of Routeboxint, which was not the same as Infobox road at the time. The two routeboxes are now identical, with the exception that Infobox Interstate fills in a couple of parameters. End result: it makes no difference whatsoever what routebox is used. -- T M F Let's Go Mets - Stats 21:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Correct... SPUI reinstated the browse section a while back. Please read WP:IH for the current browsing situation. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 21:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Polish rabbit

The Polish rabbit is a compact breed of domestic rabbit, most often bred by fanciers (as opposed to hobbyists) and commonly exhibited in rabbit shows. Despite its name, the Polish rabbit likely originated in England, not Poland. The breed known in the UK as Polish is the breed known in the US as Britannia Petite. The breed known in the US as Polish is unknown in the UK.

Appearance
Today, the Polish rabbit in the US is used as a fancy exhibition breed and as a pet. Polish rabbits are small, with short ears that touch each other all the way from the base to the tip. This breed has a short head with full cheeks and bold eyes. Due to its small size, the Polish rabbit is often confused with the Netherland Dwarf, although the Polish is a little larger and its head is not rounded. There are many other differences between the two breeds, such as coat structure, body type and colors. The accepted weight a 6-months-or-older Polish rabbit in the US is 2½ to 3½ pounds, with the ideal weight being 2½ pounds.

Until the 1950s, most Polish rabbits in the US were white with either red eyes or blue eyes. The ruby-eyed white is a true albino. The blue-eyed white has the Vienna breed's white gene and is not a true albino. Since the 1950s, colored Polish varieties have been recognized by rabbit clubs. In 1957, the American Rabbit Breeders' Association recognized a black as well as a chocolate color in Polish rabbits. In 1982, the blue variety was recognized, and in 1998 the broken variety was approved.

Care
Despite their small size, Polish rabbits need space in cage and barn facilities. They are generally advised to keep indoors in areas populated by predators such as raccoons or coyotes, as is typical for dwarf rabbits.

Feeding
It is vital that rabbits have access to unlimited fresh hay to ensure good dental health, gastrointestinal health, urinary tract health, weight control and for environmental enrichment. The nutritional needs of the Polish rabbit are similar to those in other dwarf breeds.

The nutrition of the rabbit is tested by running one's hand over the rabbit’s back. A firm layer of flesh over the ribs and spine together with the ribs and spine should be felt, indicating proper nutrition. A prominent spine indicates under nutrition and is corrected by increasing the feed. Inability to feel the spine indicates overnutrition and likewise, the amount of feed is decreased.

Health concerns
As with other rabbits, Polish rabbits do not do well in high temperatures, but can withstand low temperatures if they are kept dry and out of drafts. They are prone to hairball obstructions and matted coats if not cared for properly. Other health concerns include ear mites, Pasturella, respiratory disease, dental problems, urinary bladder stones and fractured backs.

The average life span of a breeding Polish rabbit is 5 to 6 years, and 8 to 10 years for spayed or neutered rabbits.

Bernoulli scheme

In mathematics, the Bernoulli scheme or Bernoulli shift is a generalization of the Bernoulli process to more than two possible outcomes. Bernoulli schemes appear naturally in symbolic dynamics, and are thus important in the study of dynamical systems. Many important dynamical systems (such as Axiom A systems) exhibit a repellor that is the product of the Cantor set and a smooth manifold, and the dynamics on the Cantor set are isomorphic to that of the Bernoulli shift. This is essentially the Markov partition. The term shift is in reference to the shift operator, which may be used to study Bernoulli schemes. The Ornstein isomorphism theorem shows that Bernoulli shifts are isomorphic when their entropy is equal.

Definition
A Bernoulli scheme is a discrete-time stochastic process where each independent random variable may take on one of N distinct possible values, with the outcome i occurring with probability $$p_i$$, with i = 1, ..., N, and

 * $$\sum_{i=1}^N p_i = 1. $$

The sample space is usually denoted as

 * $$X=\{1,\ldots,N \}^\mathbb{Z}$$

as a shorthand for

 * $$X=\{ x=(\ldots,x_{-1},x_0,x_1,\ldots) :

x_k \in \{1,\ldots,N\} \; \forall k \in \mathbb{Z} \}.$$

The associated measure is called the Bernoulli measure

 * $$\mu = \{p_1,\ldots,p_N\}^\mathbb{Z}$$

The σ-algebra $$\mathcal{A}$$ on X is the product sigma algebra; that is, it is the (countable) direct product of the σ-algebras of the finite set {1, ..., N}. Thus, the triplet

 * $$(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$$

is a measure space. A basis of $$\mathcal{A}$$ is the cylinder sets. Given a cylinder set $$[x_0, x_1,\ldots,x_n]$$, its measure is

 * $$\mu\left([x_0, x_1,\ldots,x_n]\right)=

\prod_{i=0}^n p_{x_i}$$ The equivalent expression, using the notation of probability theory, is
 * $$\mu\left([x_0, x_1,\ldots,x_n]\right)=

\mathrm{Pr}(X_0=x_0, X_1=x_1, \ldots, X_n=x_n)$$ for the random variables $$\{X_k\}$$

The Bernoulli scheme, as any stochastic process, may be viewed as a dynamical system by endowing it with the shift operator T where

 * $$T(x_k) = x_{k+1}.$$

Since the outcomes are independent, the shift preserves the measure, and thus T is a measure-preserving transformation. The quadruplet

 * $$(X,\mathcal{A},\mu, T)$$

is a measure-preserving dynamical system, and is called a Bernoulli scheme or a Bernoulli shift. It is often denoted by

 * $$BS(p)=BS(p_1,\ldots,p_N).$$

The N = 2 Bernoulli scheme is called a Bernoulli process. The Bernoulli shift can be understood as a special case of the Markov shift, where all entries in the adjacency matrix are one, the corresponding graph thus being a clique.

Matches and metrics
The Hamming distance provides a natural metric on a Bernoulli scheme. Another important metric is the so-called $$\overline f$$ metric, defined via a supremum over string matches.

Let $$A = a_1a_2\cdots a_m$$ and $$B = b_1b_2\cdots b_n$$ be two strings of symbols. A match is a sequence M of pairs $$(i_k, j_k)$$ of indexes into the string, i.e. pairs such that $$a_{i_k}=b_{j_k},$$ understood to be totally ordered. That is, each individual subsequence $$(i_k)$$ and $$(j_k)$$ are ordered: $$1\le i_1 < i_2<\cdots <i_r\le m$$ and likewise $$1\le j_1 < j_2<\cdots <j_r\le n.$$

The $$\overline f$$-distance between $$A$$ and $$B$$ is

 * $$\overline f(A,B) = 1-\frac{2\sup |M|}{m+n}$$

where the supremum is being taken over all matches $$M$$ between $$A$$ and $$B$$. This satisfies the triangle inequality only when $$m=n,$$ and so is not quite a true metric; despite this, it is commonly called a "distance" in the literature.

Generalizations
Most of the properties of the Bernoulli scheme follow from the countable direct product, rather than from the finite base space. Thus, one may take the base space to be any standard probability space $$(Y,\mathcal{B},\nu)$$, and define the Bernoulli scheme as
 * $$(X, \mathcal{A}, \mu)=(Y,\mathcal{B},\nu)^\mathbb{Z}$$

This works because the countable direct product of a standard probability space is again a standard probability space.

As a further generalization, one may replace the integers $$\mathbb{Z}$$ by a countable discrete group $$G$$, so that
 * $$(X, \mathcal{A}, \mu)=(Y,\mathcal{B},\nu)^G$$

For this last case, the shift operator is replaced by the group action
 * $$gx(f)=x(g^{-1}f)$$

for group elements $$f,g\in G$$ and $$x\in Y^G$$ understood as a function $$x:G\to Y$$ (any direct product $$Y^G$$ can be understood to be the set of functions $$[G\to Y]$$, as this is the exponential object). The measure $$\mu$$ is taken as the Haar measure, which is invariant under the group action:
 * $$\mu(gx)=\mu(x). \, $$

These generalizations are also commonly called Bernoulli schemes, as they still share most properties with the finite case.

Properties
Ya. Sinai demonstrated that the Kolmogorov entropy of a Bernoulli scheme is given by

 * $$H = -\sum_{i=1}^N p_i \log p_i .$$

This may be seen as resulting from the general definition of the entropy of a Cartesian product of probability spaces, which follows from the asymptotic equipartition property. For the case of a general base space $$(Y, \mathcal{B}, \nu)$$ (i.e. a base space which is not countable), one typically considers the relative entropy. So, for example, if one has a countable partition $$Y'\subset Y$$ of the base Y, such that $$\nu(Y')=1$$, one may define the entropy as

 * $$H_{Y'} = -\sum_{y'\in Y'} \nu(y') \log \nu(y') .$$

In general, this entropy will depend on the partition; however, for many dynamical systems, it is the case that the symbolic dynamics is independent of the partition (or rather, there are isomorphisms connecting the symbolic dynamics of different partitions, leaving the measure invariant), and so such systems can have a well-defined entropy independent of the partition.

Ornstein isomorphism theorem
The Ornstein isomorphism theorem states that two Bernoulli schemes with the same entropy are isomorphic. The result is sharp, in that very similar, non-scheme systems, such as Kolmogorov automorphisms, do not have this property.

The Ornstein isomorphism theorem is in fact considerably deeper: it provides a simple criterion by which many different measure-preserving dynamical systems can be judged to be isomorphic to Bernoulli schemes. The result was surprising, as many systems previously believed to be unrelated proved to be isomorphic. These include all finite stationary stochastic processes, subshifts of finite type, finite Markov chains, Anosov flows, and Sinai's billiards: these are all isomorphic to Bernoulli schemes.

For the generalized case, the Ornstein isomorphism theorem still holds if the group G is a countably infinite amenable group.

Bernoulli automorphism
An invertible, measure-preserving transformation of a standard probability space (Lebesgue space) is called a Bernoulli automorphism if it is isomorphic to a Bernoulli shift.

Loosely Bernoulli
A system is termed "loosely Bernoulli" if it is Kakutani-equivalent to a Bernoulli shift; in the case of zero entropy, if it is Kakutani-equivalent to an irrational rotation of a circle.

Imipenem/cilastatin

Imipenem/cilastatin, sold under the brand name Primaxin among others, is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. It is made from a combination of imipenem and cilastatin. Specifically it is used for pneumonia, sepsis, endocarditis, joint infections, intra-abdominal infections, and urinary tract infections. It is given by injection into a vein or muscle.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and pain at the site of injection. Other side effects may include Clostridium difficile diarrhea and allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. It is unclear if use during pregnancy is safe for the baby. Imipenem is in the carbapenem family of medications and works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall. Cilastatin blocks the activity of dehydropeptidase I which prevents the breakdown of imipenem.

Imipenem/cilastatin was first sold in 1987. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.

Medical uses
Imipenem/cilastatin is used for lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, gynecologic infections, bacterial sepsis, bone and joint infections, skin and skin structure infections, endocarditis and polymicrobic infections.

It is a broad-spectrum beta-lactam containing equal quantities of imipenem and cilastatin.

Side effects
Common side effects for both forms are:
 * Upset stomach
 * Vomiting
 * Stomach pain

Major side effects requiring medical attention:
 * Diarrhea
 * Rash
 * Fever
 * Facial swelling
 * Difficulty breathing
 * Unusual bleeding
 * Seizures

This medicine is passed through breast milk, so its use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should only be done when clearly needed. Primaxin is cleared from the body by the kidneys, so it is important to tell one's doctor about any other drugs being taken that are also cleared through the kidneys (such as other antibiotics), especially for older patients, as kidney function declines with age.

Patients who are allergic to penicillin, cephalosporins, and related drugs may react to imipenem. It is important tell one's doctor or pharmacist one's medical history, especially of brain disorders (e.g., seizures, head injury, tumor), kidney disease, liver disease, and stomach/intestinal diseases (e.g., colitis).

Hepatotoxicity
In large clinical trials, imipenem was associated with transient and asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels in about 6% of patients given the drug for five to 14 days. More serious hepatic injury from imipenem/cilastatin is rare, but jaundice and liver test abnormalities have been reported in 0.1% of patients in prospective trials of the agent. Several instances of cholestatic jaundice arising during or shortly after therapy have been reported with imipenem-cilastatin and other carbapenems. The latency to onset has been within one to three weeks, and the pattern of enzyme elevations is usually cholestatic. Immunoallergic features can occur, but autoantibodies are rare. The course is usually self-limiting, but at least one case of vanishing bile duct syndrome related to the carbapenems has been reported. Imipenem and other carbapenems have not been linked to cases of acute liver failure.

Mechanism of liver injury
The cause of the mild, transient serum enzyme elevations during imipenem-cilastatin therapy is not known. The cholestatic hepatitis attributed to imipenem-cilastatin and the carbapenems is probably immunoallergic and resembles the rare, clinically apparent liver injury that has been linked to penicillins and cephalosporins.

Outcome and management
The liver injury due to the carbapenems is usually mild and self-limited. Rarely, the carbapenems can cause a clinically apparent acute cholestatic hepatitis that is usually self-limiting and not requiring therapy or intervention. In patients with vanishing bile duct syndrome, corticosteroids are often used but have not been shown to be beneficial and are best avoided. Some patients may benefit from symptomatic therapy of the pruritus associated with cholestasis using antihistamines, ursodiol, or cholestyramine. Little information is available on possible cross-sensitivity to liver injury among the different betalactam antibiotics, but patients with clinically apparent liver injury due to imipenem should probably avoid the other carbapenems.

Interactions

 * valproic acid (Depakene, Stavzor)
 * ganciclovir (Cytovene)
 * probenecid (Benemid)
 * penicillin antibiotics such as amoxicillin (Amoxil, Augmentin), ampicillin (Omnipen, Principen), dicloxacillin (Dycill, Dynapen), oxacillin (Bactocill), or penicillin (Beepen-VK, Ledercillin VK, Pen-V, Pen-Vee K, Pfizerpen, V-Cillin K, Veetids, and others); or
 * cephalosporin antibiotics such as cefaclor (Ceclor), cefuroxime (Ceftin), cefadroxil (Duricef), cephalexin (Keflex), and others.

Mechanism of action
Imipenem/cilastatin has the ability to kill a wide variety of bacteria. Imipenem is the active antibiotic agent and works by interfering with their ability to form cell walls, so the bacteria break up and die.

Imipenem is rapidly degraded by the renal enzyme dehydropeptidase if administered alone (making it less effective); the metabolites can cause kidney damage. Imipenem is a broad-spectrum betalactam antibiotic used for severe bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. Because imipenem is rapidly inactivated by renal dehydropeptidase I, it is given in combination with cilastatin, a DHP-I inhibitor which increases half-life and tissue penetration of imipenem. Imipenem/cilastatin, like other carbapenems, binds to bacterial penicillin-binding proteins and interferes with bacterial cell wall integrity and synthesis. It has activity against many aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, S. agalactiae, S. viridans- group streptococci, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Bacteroides fragilis and Peptostreptococcus species. Imipenem/cilastatin was approved for use in the United States in 1985. Imipenem/cilastatin is indicated for the treatment of severe or complicated skin, tissue, joint, respiratory tract, intra-abdominal, urinary tract and urogenital infections, but not meningitis (as it does not pass through the blood brain barrier), endocarditis, and sepsis due to susceptible organisms. Its use is generally restricted to severe infections largely in hospitalized patients. The recommended dosage is 250 mg to 1 gram given intravenously every 6 to 8 hours or in intramuscular doses of no more than 1.5 gm daily, usually for five to 14 days. It is commercially available as Primaxin as 250-mg or 500-mg infusion bottles for IV use or 500-mg or 750-mg vials of lyophilized powder for IM injection. The most common side effects of imipenem are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, skin rash, pruritus, and injection-site reactions.

Mechanism of action
Imipenem inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins; cilastatin prevents renal metabolism of imipenem.

Bioavailability
Intramuscular injection:
 * imipenem: 60–75%
 * cilastatin: 95–100%

Distribution
The drug is distributed rapidly and widely to most tissues and fluids, including sputum, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, interstitial fluid, bile, aqueous humor, reproductive organs, and bone; highest concentrations occur in pleural fluid, interstitial fluid, peritoneal fluid, and reproductive organs; low concentrations occur in CSF; it crosses the placenta, and enters breast milk

Protein binding

 * imipenem: 13–21%
 * cilastatin, 40%

Metabolism
Imipenem is metabolized in the kidney by dehydropeptidase 1; activity is blocked by cilastatin.

Elimination
Half-life (both drugs): 60 min; prolonged with renal impairment. Excretion (both drugs): Urine (~70% as unchanged drug)

Availability and description
Primaxin IV is a combination of imipenem, cilastatin sodium, and sodium bicarbonate which is added as a buffer. Primaxin IM lacks the sodium bicarbonate buffer.

Antonio García (ELN commander)

Antonio García nom de guerre of Eliécer Erlington Chamorro Acosta (born 10 January 1956 in Mocoa, Putumayo Department), is one of the main commanders of the Ejército de Liberación Nacional (usually abbreviated to ELN), or National Liberation Army.

The ELN is a revolutionary, Marxist, insurgent guerrilla group that has been operating in several regions of Colombia since 1966. Less well-known than the FARC, it is estimated to be smaller, with between 3,500 and 5,000 armed personnel.

It is said that Jacobo Arenas (the "nom de guerre" of Luis Morantes), a founder and ideological leader of the FARC-EP, was seen as a hero by García, who once stated in an interview to a Latin American journalist that he considered Arenas to be a hero, just as he considered Simón Bolívar, José Martí and Che Guevara to be heroes.

On May 26, 2008 Ecuadorean and Colombian media reported the arrest of García in Ecuador. The Ecuadorean military said they "probably" did have him in custody, but needed to do more investigation to be sure. The arrest proved to be a mistake. The arrested guerrilla was identified as Willington Claro Arévalo, alias 'Antonio'.

Facial artery

The facial artery (external maxillary artery in older texts) is a branch of the external carotid artery that supplies structures of the superficial face.

Structure
The facial artery arises in the carotid triangle from the external carotid artery, a little above the lingual artery and, sheltered by the ramus of the mandible. It passes obliquely up beneath the digastric and stylohyoid muscles, over which it arches to enter a groove on the posterior surface of the submandibular gland.

It then curves upward over the body of the mandible at the antero-inferior angle of the masseter; passes forward and upward across the cheek to the angle of the mouth, then ascends along the side of the nose, and ends at the medial commissure of the eye, under the name of the angular artery.

The facial artery is remarkably tortuous. This is to accommodate itself to neck movements such as those of the pharynx in swallowing; and facial movements such as those of the mandible, lips, and cheeks.

Relations
In the neck, its origin is superficial, being covered by the integument, platysma, and fascia; it then passes beneath the digastric and stylohyoid muscles and part of the submandibular gland, but superficial to the hypoglossal nerve.

It lies upon the middle pharyngeal constrictor and the superior pharyngeal constrictor, the latter of which separates it, at the summit of its arch, from the lower and back part of the tonsil.

On the face, where it passes over the body of the mandible, it is comparatively superficial, lying immediately beneath the dilators of the mouth. In its course over the face, it is covered by the integument, the fat of the cheek, and, near the angle of the mouth, by the platysma, risorius, and zygomaticus major. It rests on the buccinator and levator anguli oris, and passes either over or under the infraorbital head of the levator labii superioris.

The anterior facial vein lies lateral/posterior to the artery, and takes a more direct course across the face, where it is separated from the artery by a considerable interval. In the neck it lies superficial to the artery.

The branches of the facial nerve cross the artery from behind forward.

The facial artery anastomoses with (among others) the dorsal nasal artery of the internal carotid artery.

Branches
The branches of the facial artery are:

 * cervical
 * Ascending palatine artery
 * Tonsillar branch
 * Submental artery
 * Glandular branches
 * facial
 * Inferior labial artery
 * Superior labial artery
 * Lateral nasal branch to nasalis muscle
 * Angular artery - the terminal branch

Muscles
Muscles supplied by the facial artery include:
 * buccinator
 * levator anguli oris
 * levator labii superioris
 * levator labii superioris alaeque nasi
 * levator veli palatini
 * masseter
 * mentalis
 * mylohyoid
 * nasalis
 * palatoglossus
 * palatopharyngeus
 * platysma
 * procerus
 * risorius
 * styloglossus
 * transverse portion of the nasalis

Clinical significance
The facial artery may be punctured during maxillofacial surgery, and is likely to haemorrhage significantly.

Trebizon

Trebizon is a series of school story novels by Anne Digby set in a fictional school of that name. The fourteen novels were published between 1978 and 1994 and the first ten books were reprinted in 2016 and 2017. Like Enid Blyton's earlier creation, Malory Towers, Trebizon is in Cornwall.

The novels follow the protagonist Rebecca Mason from when she joins the school in the second form through to the end of her fifth year. A theme throughout the series is Rebecca's talent for tennis. Other characters include Rebecca's two best friends, Tish Anderson and Susan Murdoch, and her boyfriend Robbie Anderson.

The Encyclopaedia of Girls' School Stories describes the books as "extremely popular", "modern" but in the tradition of girls' school stories and as selling well. The Encyclopaedia notes that Trebizon is the longest school story series published since the 1960s.

The series has been reprinted by Egmont Books, with illustrations by Lucy Truman. The books have been translated into several languages, including Japanese.

University of California Libraries

The University of California operates the largest academic library system in the world. It manages more than 40.8 million print volumes in 100 libraries on ten campuses. The purpose of these libraries is to assist research and instruction on the University of California campuses. While each campus library is separate, they share (through the UC library system) facilities for storage, computerized indexing, digital libraries and management.

Historically, each campus maintained its own library catalog and simultaneously participated in the systemwide union catalog, Melvyl. On July 27, 2021, all ten campuses went live with UC Library Search, a unified systemwide library catalog based on the Ex Libris Alma/Primo platform.

The UC libraries also manage a digital library, the California Digital Library or CDL. They also hold special collections and electronic archives of research documents. Special collections include historical archives on California history, federal depositories, law libraries, specialized collections for medical and scientific research, and a series of periodicals.

A major concern of the library system is the rising cost of scientific journal subscriptions, and the costs of renting article databases. The library is leading an effort to publish science research online in a persistently-available electronic format, primarily through a digital repository called the eScholarship repository.

The physical collections are scattered across the UC campuses. Their collections and stand-alone library buildings are listed below.

In the 1980s, to relieve overcrowding in existing on-campus library buildings, the UC system constructed two regional library facilities: the Northern Regional Library Facility at UC Berkeley's Richmond Field Station (opened 1982), and the Southern Regional Library Facility on the western edge of the UCLA campus (opened 1987). As of 2019, Northern Regional Library Facility is home to 7.4 million volumes, while Southern Regional Library Facility is home to 6.5 million. Each facility receives items from all UC campuses in its respective region of the state, and has climate controls and high-density stacks. Items are shelved two deep and are arranged in a sequence that results in efficient use of space (but is not quite as intuitive as traditional library indexing systems). As a result, casual browsing is prohibited, and the shelves are accessible only by library clerks trained to retrieve and put back items properly. Users must page materials to an on-site reading room or to a library at their home campus.

Policies
The UC library system has open stacks at most libraries, and permits free research and reading by the public. In addition, all campuses allow any California resident to apply for a library card and thus gain limited borrowing privileges for libraries on that campus, although there is typically a charge for these cards.

Materials may be borrowed between the UC campus libraries or from the regional library facilities through interlibrary loan; it is generally possible for a student or other university associate to order a nonfragile, unreserved item and have it within a few days. Books may take between a day to a week to be delivered between campuses.

Librarians Association of the University of California
The Librarians Association of the University of California (LAUC) is the statewide organization of librarians employed at least half-time in the UC Library system. Each campus also supports its own division. Librarians are academic appointees but not faculty. LAUC's objectives are to: advise the university on professional and governance matters, to make recommendations concerning UC librarians’ rights, privileges, and obligations, and to promote full utilization of UC librarians’ professional abilities. LAUC also awards research grants to its members to support librarian research and professional development.

Anne Digby

Anne Digby (born 5 May 1943 in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey) is a prolific British children's writer best known for the Trebizon series published between 1978 and 1994. The name is a pen name.

Digby attended North London Collegiate School before becoming a magazine journalist, and lived in Paris for a while. As a journalist, she wrote for School Friend and Girl. She then worked as a press officer for Oxfam in Oxford. Her first novel was A Horse Called September (1975). From 1978 to 1994 she wrote fourteen school story novels set in the fictional Cornish boarding school Trebizon. She has also written the Me, Jill Robinson series of books, the Jug Valley Juniors series, Quicksilver Horse and The Big Swim of the Summer. She added six books to Enid Blyton's 1940–52 Naughtiest Girl series, 1999 to 2001 – which publisher Hachette catalogues as Naughtiest Girl, volumes 5 to 10 – and created the Three R Detective books for younger readers.

The Encyclopaedia of Girls' School Stories says that Digby "may take some credit" for the revival of girls' schools stories in the twenty-first century. The Encyclopaedia notes that Digby's style becomes "heavily teen mag" in her later books.

Fidra Books has published a collector's edition of Fifth Year Friendships at Trebizon, which has a foreword by Digby, while new mass-market paperback editions of the first ten titles in the Trebizon series were published by Egmont Books in 2016 and 2017.

She lived in Dorset for years but, as of 2020, lives in East Sussex. She is married with four children.

Talk:Baron Haden-Guest

Untitled
I assume the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Barons were brothers. Is it normal for a title to pass to siblings in this way? Bastie 03:34, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It is if none of them have kids. What I want to know is, how did they come upon the awful name "Haden Haden-Guest"? --Jfruh 14:19, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

 * inbreeding?--Mongreilf 11:31, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Question
Since Nicholas Haden-Guest (aka Nicholas Guest), the heir-presumptive to the Haden-Guest barony is American by birth and citizenship, does he still carry 'The Honorable? I think perhaps not.

Christopher Guest isn't a Baron
Surely Christopher Guest is not a Baron, his ancestor Christopher William Graham Guest, with who the title originated, was only a Life peer, and NOT a hereditary peer. As life peerages can't be inherited the title became extinct on 25 September 1984, when Christopher William Graham Guest died. Alanleonard (talk) 22:39, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * (Reply copied from Jamie Lee Curtis) :I am afraid you have your Baron Guests confused. Christopher Guest is the 5th Baron Haden-Guest of Saling, a heriditory peer and is not related to life peer and judge Baron Guest. Christopher's baronetcy originated with Leslie Haden-Guest, 1st Baron Haden-Guest and the current incumbant actually took his seat in the House of Lords for a short period of time until the major rehaul of the House. A photograph of him and Baroness Guest (Jamie Lee Curtis) in their ermine robes at his maiden appearance was published in the British broadsheets at the time. 21st CENTURY  GREENSTUFF 00:12, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

'Created' in 1950?
The male line family tree shows the first Baron as having been born in 1877 yet the article claims the title was 'created' in 1950. There are many other problems stemming from this. Pootle (talk) 16:55, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It just means that the first baron was 73 when he was created a peer. What seems to be the problem?
 * HandsomeFella (talk) 20:32, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That's how the British say it: titles are "created." The people they're created for were themselves generally created (i.e. born) some years before. They might also say so-and-so was "created Baron Haden-Guest" in 1950, though I don't know if that's a current usage having only seen it in old books. Furrycat66 (talk) 20:35, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Moira Lister

Moira Lister Gachassin-Lafite, Viscountess of Orthez (6 August 1923 – 27 October 2007) was a South African-British film, stage and television actress and writer.

Early life
Born in Cape Town to Major James Lister and Margaret (née Hogan), Lister was educated at the Parktown Convent of the Holy Family, Johannesburg. She was a theatre student of Anna Romain Hoffman, who with her husband Arthur Hoffman founded The Johannesburg Repertory Theatre.

Career
Lister began her acting career on stage in South Africa and then went on to act in the London theatre at the age of 18. Lister began working in films in 1943, and appeared in a number of films over several decades. The most notable of these being for Ealing Studios, such as Another Shore (1948), A Run for Your Money (1949), Pool of London (1951) and The Cruel Sea (1953). She starred in Peter Ustinov's long-running 1951 play The Love of Four Colonels in the West End.

She had a regular role in the first series of the BBC radio comedy Hancock's Half Hour in 1954–55, and was also one of the girlfriends in A Life of Bliss starring George Cole as David Bliss, a perpetual bachelor. She played Felicity Willow in BBC Radio's comedy Mr Willow's Wife.

She starred in the BBC television series The Whitehall Worrier and The Very Merry Widow from 1967 to 1968. (Later series of this programme were titled The Very Merry Widow — and How!) Lister also appeared on various other British TV series such as Danger Man and The Avengers ("The See-Through Man", 1967). In 1980, she made a guest appearance as a film star in the sitcom Only When I Laugh.

She was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1971 when she was surprised by Eamonn Andrews.

Lister was still performing until three years before her death, touring with her one-woman show about Noël Coward. She belonged to the British Catholic Stage Guild.

Personal life
In 1946, Lister went on a date in London with Neville Heath, a former South African Air Force captain who murdered two women in London only months later. Heath was convicted after a sensational trial, and he was hanged in October 1946.

In 1951, Moira Lister married Belgo-French aristocrat Jacques Gachassin-Lafite, Viscount of Orthez, son of André Gachassin-Lafite, Viscount of Orthez and of Louise van Dievoet. Jacques was a French officer of the Spahis, owner of a champagne vineyard and hero of the Rif War; they had two daughters, Chantal and Christobel. Lister also had two granddaughters, Christina d'Orthez and Marina d'Orthez.

Moira Lister died at the age of 84 in 2007. Both she and her husband are interred in the churchyard of St Edward's Catholic Church in Sutton Green, Surrey.

Honours

 * Naledi Theatre Award, a lifetime achievement award for her services to the theatre in South Africa.
 * Best Actress of the Year (1971)
 * Freedom of the City of London (2000)

Astrolite

Astrolite is the trade name of a family of explosives, invented by chemist Gerald Hurst in the 1960s during his employment with the Atlas Powder Company. The Astrolite family consists of two compounds, Astrolite G and Astrolite A. Both are two-part liquid-state high explosive mixtures, composed of ammonium nitrate oxidizer and hydrazine rocket fuel. The explosives were extensively studied, manufactured, and used in many countries because of their advantages of high energy, excellent performance, and wide application. They still find some use in commercial and civil blasting applications, but have mostly been superseded by cheaper and safer compounds, largely due to the expense and exceptionally poisonous nature of the hydrazine component.

Astrolite G
Astrolite G, the most common type of Astrolite, is a mixture of ammonium nitrate and hydrazine at a ratio of 2:1, measured in weight, forming a clear, viscous liquid approximately the consistency of motor oil. It is a relatively stable (secondary) high explosive compound, requiring a blasting cap to detonate. It has a detonation velocity of approximately 8,600 m/s, twice the explosive strength of TNT. It has been widely referred to as the "world's most powerful non-nuclear explosive", caused largely by a comparison of Astrolite G's detonation velocity to that of first and second-generation high explosives such as nitroglycerine and TNT. Current-generation high explosive compounds such as PETN and RDX can feature comparable detonation velocities and brisance to Astrolite G.

Astrolite A
Astrolite A, a secondary (and less common) type of Astrolite, is sensitized by the addition of finely powdered aluminium to the Astrolite G mixture. Though it has a lower detonation velocity (approximately 7,600 m/s) than Astrolite G, the addition of the aluminium increases both its density and explosive brisance, moderately increasing its overall effectiveness/RE Factor.

Persistency
A notable characteristic of the Astrolite family is its remarkable degree of persistency for a liquid explosive compound. Due to its low volatility, it can be dispersed in an area, be absorbed by the soil, and still retain its full explosive characteristics for a period of approximately 4 days. This has shown to be true even when rainwater had also been absorbed by the soil.

One Oxford Centre

One Oxford Centre is one of the major distinctive and recognizable features of Downtown Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, United States. The complex is named for Oxford Development, the developer and previous owner.

Among the commercial tenants of One Oxford Centre are Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, HFF Inc., the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Pittsburgh Branch, and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.

History
The proposed tower was announced and submitted for county approval in October 1978 as the "Grant Land project". In April 1983, DeBartolo Company, which constructed the tower, announced plans for "Two Oxford Centre" to the immediate northeast of the main tower and across the street from Pittsburgh City Hall and the Frick Building. Two Oxford Centre was to be noticeably taller than One Oxford, however the plans and development were dependent on securing a majority tenant which never materialized.

Design
Completed in 1983, One Oxford Centre has 46 floors in its main tower and rises 615 feet (187 m) above Downtown Pittsburgh. Although its address is simply One Oxford Centre, the building is located on the 300 block of Grant Street. The tower has nearly 1500000 sqft of office and high-end retail space. Since the tower's opening, it has been home to a full-service health/business club, The Rivers Club. The complex also contains a multi-level parking garage and some street-level retail and office space one block west of Grant Street.

At night, forty-three 1,500-watt spotlights illuminate the Centre with a total of 54,500 watts that create a glowing effect that is said to be greater than any other highrise in the United States. One Oxford Centre was developed by Oxford Development Company and designed by architecture firm Hellmuth, Obata, & Kassabaum.

The most significant external change to One Oxford Centre since its construction was the addition of the PricewaterhouseCoopers logo on all sides of the building in April 2023. One PPG Place now remains the tallest skyscraper in the city to lack branding on its façade.

In popular culture
A composite image of the main tower of PPG Place and Oxford Centre is used as the Fiddler's Green luxury high-rise in the movie Land of the Dead. Another interesting fact is that a street (Cherry Way) passes through the tower on its lower levels.

The building is featured in Episode 1656 of the television program Mister Rogers' Neighborhood on "Up and Down." Mr. Rogers and the "Speed Delivery"-man Mr. McFeely ride the building's escalators and elevators up and down.

The tower is used for exterior shots of the Newman tower on the CBS daytime soap opera, The Young and the Restless.

Building Ownership
Since developing the Property in 1983, Oxford Development had been the sole owner and operator. In January 2016 San Francisco-based Shorenstein Properties acquired One Oxford Centre under its Shorenstein Realty Investors Eleven LP, a $1.2 billion fund. CBRE Group was appointed as the leasing agent to fill up the remaining vacant space in the building. Shorenstein implemented an intensive capital improvement program that included repairing deferred maintenance throughout the property as well as aesthetic upgrades to the lobby and common areas.

UltraSPARC T1

Sun Microsystems' UltraSPARC T1 microprocessor, known until its 14 November 2005 announcement by its development codename "Niagara", is a multithreading, multicore CPU. Designed to lower the energy consumption of server computers, the CPU typically uses 72 W of power at 1.4 GHz.

Afara Websystems pioneered a radical thread-heavy SPARC design. The company was purchased by Sun, and the intellectual property became the foundation of the CoolThreads line of processors, starting with the T1. The T1 is a new-from-the-ground-up SPARC microprocessor implementation that conforms to the UltraSPARC Architecture 2005 specification and executes the full SPARC V9 instruction set. Sun has produced two previous multicore processors (UltraSPARC IV and IV+), but UltraSPARC T1 was its first microprocessor that is both multicore and multithreaded. Security was built-in from the very first release on silicon, with hardware cryptographic units in the T1, unlike general purpose processor from competing vendors of the time. The processor is available with four, six or eight CPU cores, each core able to handle four threads concurrently. Thus, the processor is capable of processing up to 32 threads concurrently.

The UltraSPARC T1 can be partitioned in a similar way to high-end Sun SMP systems. Thus, several cores can be partitioned for running a single or group of processes and/or threads, while the other cores deal with the rest of the processes on the system.

Cores

The UltraSPARC T1 was designed from scratch as a multi-threaded, special-purpose processor, and thus introduced a whole new architecture for obtaining performance. Rather than try to make each core as intelligent and optimized as they can, Sun's goal was to run as many concurrent threads as possible, and maximize utilization of each core's pipeline. The T1's cores are less complex than those of competing processors in order to allow 8 cores to fit on the same die. The cores do not feature out-of-order execution, or a sizable amount of cache.

Single-thread processors depend heavily on large caches for their performance because cache misses result in a wait while the data is fetched from main memory. By making the cache larger, the probability of a cache miss is reduced, but the impact of a miss is still the same.

The T1 cores largely side-step the issue of cache misses by multithreading. Each core is a barrel processor, meaning it switches between available threads each cycle. When a long-latency event occurs, such as cache miss, the thread is taken out of rotation while the data is fetched into cache in the background. Once the long-latency event completes, the thread is made available for execution again. Sharing of the pipeline by multiple threads may make each thread slower, but the overall throughput (and utilization) of each core is much higher. It also means that the impact of cache misses is greatly reduced, and the T1 can maintain high throughput with a smaller amount of cache. The cache no longer needs to be large enough to hold all or most of the "working set", just the recent cache misses of each thread.

Benchmarks demonstrate this approach has worked very well on commercial (integer), multithreaded workloads such as Java application servers, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application servers, email (such as Lotus Domino) servers, and web servers. These benchmarks suggest each core in the UltraSPARC T1 is more powerful than the circa 2001, single-core, single-threaded UltraSPARC III, and at a chip to chip comparison, significantly outperforms other processors on multithreaded integer workloads.

Physical characteristics
The UltraSPARC T1 contains 279 million transistors and has an area of 378 mm2. It was fabricated by Texas Instruments (TI) in their 90 nm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) process with nine levels of copper interconnect. Each core has L1 16 KB instruction cache and 8 KB data cache. L2 cache is 3 MB and there is no L3 cache.

Systems
The T1 processor can be found in the following products from Sun and Fujitsu Computer Systems:
 * Sun/Fujitsu/Fujitsu Siemens SPARC Enterprise T1000 and T2000 servers
 * Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 servers
 * Sun Netra T2000 Server
 * Sun Netra CP3060 Blade
 * Sun Blade T6300 Server Module

Target market
The UltraSPARC T1 microprocessor is unique in its strength and weaknesses, and as such is targeted at specific markets. Rather than being used for high-end number-crunching and ultra-high performance applications, the chip is targeted at network-facing high-demand servers, such as high-traffic web servers, and mid-tier Java, ERP, and CRM application servers, which often utilize a large number of separate threads. One of the limitations of the T1 design is that a single floating point unit (FPU) is shared between all 8 cores, making the T1 unsuitable for applications performing a lot of floating point mathematics. However, since the processor's intended markets do not typically make much use of floating-point operations, Sun did not expect this to be a problem. Sun provides a tool for analysing an application's level of parallelism and use of floating point instructions to determine if it is suitable for use on a T1 or T2 platform.

In addition to web and application tier processing, the UltraSPARC T1 may be well suited for smaller database applications which have a large user count. One customer has published results showing that a MySQL application running on an UltraSPARC T1 server ran 13.5 times faster than on an AMD Opteron server.

Virtualization
T1 is the first SPARC processor that supports the Hyper-Privileged execution mode. The SPARC Hypervisor runs in this mode, and it can partition a T1 system into 32 Logical Domains, each of which can run an operating system instance.

Currently, Solaris, Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD are supported.

Software licensing issues
Traditionally, commercial software suites such as Oracle Database charge their customers based on the number of processors the software runs on. In early 2006, Oracle changed the licensing model by introducing the processor factor. With a processor factor of .25 for the T1, an 8-core T2000 requires only a 2-CPU license.

The "Oracle Processor Core Factor Table" has since been updated regularly as new CPUs came to market.

In Q3 2006, IBM introduced the concept of Value Unit (VU) pricing. Each core of the T1 is 30 PVUs (each T2 core is 50 PVUs, and T3 is 70 PVUs) instead of the default value of 100 PVUs per core.

Weaknesses
The T1 only offered a single floating-point unit to be shared by the 8 cores, limiting usage in HPC environments. This weakness was mitigated with the follow-on UltraSPARC T2 processor, which included 8 floating point units, as well as other additional features.

Furthermore, the T1 was only available in uniprocessor systems, limiting vertical scalability in large enterprise environments. This weakness was mitigated with the follow-on UltraSPARC T2 Plus, as well as the next generation SPARC T3 and SPARC T4. The UltraSPARC T2+, SPARC T3, and SPARC T4 all offer single, dual, and quad socket configurations.

The T1 had outstanding throughput with massive numbers of threads supported by the processor, but older applications burdened with single thread bottlenecks occasionally exhibited poor overall performance. Single-threaded application weakness was mitigated with the follow-on SPARC T4 processor. The T4 core count was reduced to 8 (from 16 on the T3), the cores were made more complex, the clock rate was nearly doubled — all contributing to faster single thread performance (300% to 500% increase over previous generations). Additional effort was made to add the "critical thread API", where the operating system would detect a bottleneck and would temporarily allocate the resources of an entire core, instead of 1 (of 8) threads, to the targeted application processes exhibiting single threaded CPU bound behavior. This allowed the T4 to uniquely mitigate single threaded bottlenecks, while not having to compromise in the overall architecture to achieve massive multi-threaded throughput.

Contemporary and subsequent designs
The "Coolthreads(TM)" architecture, beginning with the UltraSPARC T1 (with its positive and negative aspects), was certainly influential in the concurrent and future designs of SPARC processors.

"Rock"
The original UltraSPARC T1 was designed for single CPU systems only and is not capable of SMP. "Rock" was a more ambitious project, intended to support multiple-chip server architectures, targeting traditional data-facing workloads such as databases. It was seen as more a follow-on to Sun's SMP processors such as UltraSPARC IV, rather than a replacement for the UltraSPARC T1 or T2, but was canceled in the timeframe of Oracle's acquisition of Sun.

UltraSPARC T2
Formerly known by the codename Niagara 2, the follow-on to the UltraSPARC T1, the T2 provides eight cores. Unlike the T1, each core supports 8 threads per core, one FPU per core, one enhanced cryptographic unit per core, and CPU embedded 10 Gigabit Ethernet network controllers.

UltraSPARC T2 Plus
In February 2007, Sun announced at its annual analyst summit that its third-generation simultaneous multithreading design, code-named Victoria Falls, was taped out in October 2006. A two-socket server (2 RU) will have 128 threads, 16 cores, and a 65× performance improvement over UltraSPARC III.

At the Hot Chips 19 conference, Sun announced that Victoria Falls will be in two-way and four-way servers. Thus, a single 4-way SMP server will support 256 concurrent hardware threads.

In April 2008, Sun released 2-way UltraSPARC T2 Plus servers, the SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240.

In October 2008, Sun released 4-way UltraSPARC T2 Plus SPARC Enterprise T5440 server.

SPARC T3
In October 2006, Sun disclosed that Niagara 3 will be built with a 45 nm process. The Register, reported in June 2008 that the microprocessor will have 16 cores, incorrectly suggesting each core would have 16 threads. During the Hot Chips 21 conference Sun revealed the chip has a total of 16 cores and 128 threads. According to the ISSCC 2010 presentation: "A 16-core SPARC SoC processor enables up to 512 threads in a 4-way glueless system to maximize throughput. The 6 MB L2 cache of 461 GB/s and the 308-pin SerDes I/O of 2.4 Tb/s support the required bandwidth. Six clock and four voltage domains, as well as power management and circuit techniques, optimize performance, power, variability and yield trade-offs across the 377mm2 die."

SPARC T4
The T4 CPU was released in late 2011. The new T4 CPU will drop from 16 cores (on the T3) back to 8 cores (as used on the T1, T2, and T2+). The new T4 core design (named "S3") feature improved per-thread performance, due to introduction of out-of-order execution, as well as having additional improved performance for single-threaded programs.

In 2010, Larry Ellison announced that Oracle will offer Oracle Linux on the UltraSPARC platform, and the port was scheduled to be available in the T4 and T5 timeframe.

John Fowler, Executive Vice President Systems Oracle, in Openworld 2014 said Linux will be able to run on Sparc at some point.

SPARC T5
The new T5 CPU features 128 threads over 16 cores and is manufactured with a 28 nanometer technology.

Open design
On March 21, 2006, Sun made the UltraSPARC T1 processor design available under the GNU General Public License via the OpenSPARC project. The published information includes:
 * Verilog source code of the UltraSPARC T1 design;
 * Verification suite and simulation models;
 * ISA specification (UltraSPARC Architecture 2005);
 * The Solaris 10 OS simulation images.

Image license tags
Hello. Thanks for uploading Image:Aawr.png. If you would like to upload more images, please take care with the license tag. Only the copyright or trademark owner can give permission for GPL. However, I see these are logos. We have a tag for fair use of logos. Please use Logo instead for them. I'll fix it on this one. Thanks. --Tabor 22:42, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
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 Wiktorm. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wiktorm~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.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:44, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:31, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Posting vanity articles is bad. Removing deletion notices is worse. Opening a fake account will get you banned. Don't do it again. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 03:57, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
