Talk:Druids (Shannara)

Ahren Elessedil
The link that says "main article" links back to this page. Is there a main Ahren article?

Second Druid Council
The article says that the Druids, for unknown reasons, reformed into the Second Druid Council, which contained Athabasca, Bremen, and basically everyone killed when Brona attacked in First King of Shannara. I was wondering where in the books it mentions that? I've been trying to find some mention of the Second Druid Council for some time but don't remember ever seeing anything...

BRD on recent large addition of text
I have reverted a recent large addition of unsourced statements to the article.

On 4 November 2013, User:The ed17 added over 12,000 characters of data to the article, with no sources to support the addition, and nothing that indicates notability for any of these fictional character druids that he added.

So, per WP:BRD, let’s discuss it here.

User:The ed17's edit comment on the edit summary was: "2013-11-04T17:51:50 The ed17 (talk | contribs) . . (14,571 bytes) (+12,766) . . (rv removal of content, we've been over this)", implying that this was a simple revert of some sort. It was not. The article had been unchanged at a character count of approx. 2,000 bytes for nearly five months, since June, and had been less than 5,000 characters from roughly Dec 2012 through May 2013.

The only recent change to the article, in the previous four months, was that I had tagged a deadlink source on 4 Nov 2013. Cheers. N2e (talk) 04:15, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Regardless on your feelings on unsourced text, your long-term demolition of articles isn't welcome. It's unfortunate that no one noticed your edits at the time. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 06:35, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Ed, please assume good faith, and please do not try to change the subject. This is a BRD about recent edits to THIS article.  If you want to challenge my behavior as an editor of Wikipedia over some longer period of time or broader swath of articles, there are places to do that.  Put your story together and go for it; but please don't change the subject of this BRD on this article.  An attack on me here—either for disagreements about edits I've made nearly a year ago on this article (or five months ago), or for content disputes on other articles we've had in the past—is merely a way to attempt to deflect the subject from the WP:BRD at hand.

 * Moreover, I do believe that the re-addition, your second addition of the large amount of unsourced text to this article is starting an edit war. I'm sure you are familiar with WP:BRD and know that.  But I refuse to get into an edit war with you, so I have left your text in the article following your reversion of my edit while we are trying to discuss it here.  I think you should consider showing good faith and leave that very large edit out of the article while this discussion is onging.  N2e (talk) 13:37, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree, I think your wholesale removal of gobs of unsourced text from multiple articles certainly comes into play here. You're violating WP:PRESERVE with your edits, which is an English Wikipedia policy. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 21:32, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

 * I think you are making this more complex than it should be, Ed, but then perhaps that serves your purpose. I don't know.  But given you will not abide by WP:BRD, and leave the article in the long-term-stable state during this discussion—a state in which it was in for four months prior to your edit—I will (by necessity of your intransigence) put that issue aside for now, and go to the specific issue you are insisting on discussing: the WP:PRESERVE argument.  N2e (talk) 03:00, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Ed, I do not believe your position is supported by the policy you linked to. WP:PRESERVE links to a section in Editing Policy, the first paragraph of which says: "Fix problems if you can, flag or remove them if you can't. Preserve appropriate content. As long as any of the facts or ideas added to the article would belong in a "finished" article, they should be retained if they meet the requirements of the three core content policies: Neutral point of view (which doesn't mean No point of view), Verifiability and No original research. Either clean up the writing on the spot, or tag it as necessary. If you think a page needs to be rewritten or changed substantially, go ahead and do so, but preserve any reasonable content on the article's talk page, along with a comment about why you made the change. Do not remove information solely because it is poorly presented; instead, improve the presentation by rewriting the passage. The editing process tends to guide articles through ever-higher levels of quality over time. Great Wikipedia articles can come from a succession of editors' efforts."

I don't have any idea whatsover how to fix the serious deficiencies in this article. The policy you quoted says to "Fix problems if you can, flag or remove them if you can't." Apparently, other editors have not chosen to fix them either, or perhaps they cannot, because those sources don't exist. I'm not saying the sources don't exist; but if noone has found sources for years, and no one has added sources for many months while many claims were specifically challenged, then perhaps we might infer that the reliable sources are not to be found. The problems with lack of sources in this article were flaged a long time ago, and only after many months, some of those non-sourced statements were removed, per standard policy, a policy that I will note here is directly a part of the WP:V core policy. Then, and only after five more months, even more of the flagged material that had remained unsourced for all that time, was removed. That is what then became the long-term stable position of this article, which remained in place for five additional months before I tagged a deadlink (removing nothing), and then you came along and added back all of that unsourced material (approx. 12,000 bytes worth), 'without adding a single source citation that would demonstrate verifiability outside of original research within the Shannara fictional genre''.

The very policy paragraph you link to says that material "should be retained if [the material] meets the requirements of the three core content policies: Neutral point of view (which doesn't mean No point of view), Verifiability and No original research." The material you added does not meet two of the three requirements listed:
 * I totally concede neutrality; I do not believe the material in this article violates neutrality policy. ✅
 * However, the material that I removed (half a year to a year ago) does not meet either of the other two core content policies: WP:V nor WP:NOR.
 * There is no support whatsoever for the statements being verifiable.❌
 * There is no source cited for most of the statements that would show they are anything but original research.❌

The final sentence in the WP:PRESERVE policy you link to says: "The editing process tends to guide articles through ever-higher levels of quality over time. Great Wikipedia articles can come from a succession of editors' efforts."  I have done my level best to do exactly what one does when one tries, through a succession of editor efforts, to improve the encyclopedia. I looked to see if I could fix the deficiencies; I could not. Because WP:THEREISNODEADLINE, I flaged the shortcomings so other editors, who might know more about where to find such sources than I do, might fix the article. I left the article in that state for many months. Only then, after months of being flagged with no sources found, did I remove the unsourced original research. If the sources don't exist, and noone has found them after months, it is precisely by removing such unverified statements that we improve the encyclopedia, and we do so at a very slow and measured pace, so that other editors might add the sources if they do exist. N2e (talk) 03:15, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

RfC: should a large amount of unsourced statements about these fictional characters in literature remain in the article?
It seems we have a content dispute between two editors, and are currently making no progress toward article improvement. So I have opened up an WP:RfC on the topic, so we might get some other editors to weigh in. Please see the content discussion over the past week in the above Talk-page section, and provide opinions, with rationale, below. Thanks. N2e (talk) 00:23, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

 * SUPPORT proposal to remove the unsourced text that had originally been challenged over a year ago, and had then been removed from the article five to ten months ago after no sources were provided, which text has recently been added back into the article (but still with no sources)—as nom. There is no support whatsoever for the challenged statements being verifiable, nor is there any source cited for the vast majority of the statements that would show they are not original research.  I explicitly assume good faith on the part of the other editor, User:The ed17, who argues that the text should not be removed from this article per WP:PRESERVE.  N2e (talk) 00:23, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Support removal. The material showed that citations were needed since June 2012.  Apparently no one has found any (or looked).  There have been plenty of time to find references in that period of time, so the material should be removed and only added back on finding proper references.   GregJackP   Boomer!   03:53, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment while I work on more pressing issues; this RfC should be moved to the WP:PRESERVE talk page to explore the broader implications of your content removal. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 03:54, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Nah, the material sat there for over 16 months without anyone working on it, it is now appropriate for it to be removed.  GregJackP   Boomer!   04:09, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Regarding the Comment left by Ed, aka "The ed17", above: Ed, while I obviously agree with the comment of GregJackP on the content dispute on this article, I have invited you before to feel free to start some sort of action to review my editing if you think I am doing something egregious or outside of policy.  If you do that, fine, I'll respond to the inquiry at that time and in that place.  Otherwise, your deflecting of the issue to some nefarious broader implications of my editing when we have a content dispute on a particular Shannara article is either pointy or trollish.
 * Best to you, and to your continued efforts to make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia. I do ask that you assume the same relative to my efforts to improve Wikipedia.  In this particular case, we rather obviously just have a difference of opinion on how much unverified original research should remain in Wikipedia about non-notable aspects of fictional characters, themes and locations.  Cheers.  N2e (talk) 16:46, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Honestly, most of them could be merged and redirected. Removing content, tagged or not, is never the way to go (IMHO). Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:01, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Strongly Support removal of unsourced material. Wikipedia's policies concerning sources and properly supported material have become more strict, in recent years, and this has clearly helped to further improve article quality. In matters such as this one, which are esoteric, highly specialized, and of obvious passionate interest to some people, editors should avoid more than in other, more typical entries to put up material that is not sourced per Wiki rules. Otherwise, we'll  have edits wars and disputes all the time.-The Gnome (talk) 11:40, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Support removal Have to agree with The Gnome (and others) on this.  If proper sourcing can be found, material can be reinstated.  Edit warring, as displayed here, is not the way to go.  Tvoz / talk 05:15, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Support removal - 16 months tagged is enough. The argument that this is covered by WP:PRESERVE is noted, but it would seem to be trumped by WP:OR especially with the notice being given well over a year ago. Jus  da  fax   08:31, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Amritsar district is one of the twenty three districts that make up the Indian state of Punjab. Located in the Majha region of Punjab, the city of Amritsar is the headquarters of this district.

As of 2011, it is the second most populous district of Punjab (out of 23), after Ludhiana. It is a border district of Punjab and lies along India-Pakistan border.

However, as part of the partition of India in 1947, Amritsar district was separated from the rest of the division and awarded to India. Some areas like Patti & Khem Karan falling in the Lahore District became part of Amritsar District at partition. During the partition period, the Muslim population of the district, some 46%, left for Pakistan while Hindus and Sikhs from West Punjab in newly created Pakistan migrated in the opposite direction.

Igor Ilyinsky

Igor Vladimirovich Ilyinsky (И́горь Влади́мирович Ильи́нский; 24 July 1901 – 13 January 1987) was a Soviet and Russian stage and film actor, director and comedian. Hero of Socialist Labour (1974) and People's Artist of the USSR (1949).

Early years
Igor Ilyinsky was born on 24 July 1901 in Moscow. At age 16 he entered the Theatre Studio of Theodore Komisarjevsky and in half a year already debuted on the professional stage in Komissarzhevskaya Theatre. His first theatre role was that of the "Old Man" in Aristophanes' play Lysistrata. In 1920, he joined the Vsevolod Meyerhold Theatre. The young actor's style was in correspondence with the principles of Meyerhold, and so Ilyinsky soon became the central actor of that theatre. He worked with Meyerhold on several of his most famous productions: Mistery-Buffo (1921), The Forest (1924), The Magnanimous Cuckold (1926), Woe to Wit (1928), The Bedbug (1929). Alongside Erast Garin, he was the most prominent actor in the Meyerhold theater and this is where he learned the acting technique called Biomechanics.

Career in silent cinema
In the mid-1920s Ilyinsky started to appear in movies, where he also played vivid comic characters. In 1924, Yakov Protazanov featured him in his futuristic film Aelita, which was followed by his role in Protazanov's comedy The Tailor from Torzhok (1925). In 1926, he appeared in three films. “I can act on the roof of a train carriage, on the radiator of a moving car, on back of a galloping horse, or while swimming in the sea”.

1930s–1950s
In 1938 he joined the Maly Theatre that had been his favourite one since school years. Afterwards Ilyinsky stayed in the Maly Theatre for almost fifty years and even staged several plays there himself. Ilyinsky would later write that it was Russian classic literature that had helped him overcome the crisis and feeling that he had been unable to create new characters, different from the previous ones. An outstandingly prolific period in the actor's life was related to his work with the film director Grigori Aleksandrov. In 1938 Ilyinsky splendidly acted as Byvalov in the comedy Volga-Volga (for this role, he was awarded Stalin Prize in 1941). He deliberately avoided any comic traits in his character to create a common image of a red-tapist.

The starting point for him was the gracious and stirring character of Lyubov Orlova. He decided to create a totally contrasting character, which he succeeded in. That role brought Ilyinsky the State Prize. Stalin reportedly watched the film sixteen times. At Molotov's birthday party Stalin flung Ilyinsky a remark: “Ah, Byvalov! You are a bureaucrat and I am a bureaucrat. We shall understand each other”. The success of that movie determined the development of Soviet film comedy for the next several decades. However, after the film Ilyinsky almost stopped his film acting. In the mid-1950s Ilyinsky finally got a chance to act in a movie. It was a light comedy, A Crazy Day. The character created by Ilyinsky was a repetition of what he had done 20 years earlier. He managed to play a truly starry film role only 18 years after Volga-Volga. It was the role of the bureaucrat Ogurtsov in the smash-hit comedy Carnival Night, directed by Eldar Ryazanov.

"“I was not going to feature the great Igor Ilyinsky in Carnival Night - I felt timid, and understood that being a coryphaeus he would suppress me. When Pyryev offered him for the role of Ogurtsov, I just panicked: he was my idol from childhood, the famous actor of the Meyerhold Theatre! And me, directing my first film, on the other scale!” (Eldar Ryazanov)"

Later years
In Maly Theatre at the same time Ilyinsky shifted to portrayals of deeply tragic characters, in particular, from Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy. In the late 1960s Ilyinsky went into stage directing. His first stage production was the stage version of Gustave Flaubert's popular novel Madame Bovary. The last period of Ilyinsky's career was marked by his portrayal of Leo Tolstoy in the play Turning Full Circle and of Firs, and his performance in The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov. As a very old person Igor Ilyinsky acted a lot on the radio – almost blind, he was accompanied to the studio.

Death
Igor Ilyinsky died on 13 January 1987, aged 85. His widow, actress Tatyana Yeremeyeva, died on 29 November 2012, aged 99.

Brescia University

Brescia University is a private Roman Catholic college in Owensboro, Kentucky. It was founded as a junior college for women and is now a coeducational institution offering undergraduate and master's programs.

History
Brescia University traces its roots to Mount Saint Joseph Junior College for Women founded in 1925 by the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph at Maple Mount, a rural area outside Owensboro. Coeducational extension courses were started at Owensboro and eventually grew into its own campus. After World War II the two campuses were consolidated, thus becoming fully co-educational. In 1951, it was renamed Brescia College, after the Italian city of Brescia where Saint Angela Merici founded the original order. It changed its name in 1998 to become Brescia University with the addition of Master's degree programs in Management, and Curriculum and Instruction.

Notable alumni

 * Joey Goebel, author
 * Chris Holtmann, current head men's basketball coach at Ohio State (did not graduate; transferred to Taylor University)

Athletics
The Brescia athletic teams are called the Bearcats. The institution is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the River States Conference (RSC; formerly known as the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (KIAC) until after the 2015–16 school year) since the 1984–85 academic year.

Brescia competes in 18 intercollegiate varsity sports: Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis and track & field; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field and volleyball; and co-ed sports compete in cheerleading, dance and eSports.

Sky Soap

Sky Soap was a British and Irish satellite television channel operated by British Sky Broadcasting devoted to American and British soap operas that include Emmerdale Farm, Take the High Road, Families and Albion Market.

History
When Sky Channel was launched on the Astra satellite on 5 February 1989, the daytime schedule was overhauled and included a block of five soaps. The first, starting at 11.30am from Australia, The Sullivans, which was also still airing in some ITV regions. Next were four American daytime soaps – Another World, which had been airing on the channel since 1987, started at 12.00pm; followed by General Hospital from 12.55pm; and As the World Turns at 1.50pm and finally, Loving in a regular 2.45pm slot. A sixth soap opera, The Young Doctors, was another Australian serial also being broadcast on ITV. Sky Channel initially aired it in an early evening slot at 5.00pm, before switching to mid-afternoon after 6 months, and then finally, at 10:30am, from 1990.

The network changed its name to Sky One on 31 July 1989. The Sullivans, General Hospital and As the World Turns were all dropped, and in November 1990, newer American daytime soaps were added to the line-up: The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless were both inherited from BSB's Galaxy channel following the corporate merger of the two companies, although neither were retained once the 3-year contract with BSB expired in 1993. In February 1991, Sky bought Santa Barbara, which was another soap opera originally broadcast on the ITV network. By 1993, with the addition of Australian soaps E Street and Paradise Beach to the schedules, as well as daytime repeat runs of American primetime series, St Elsewhere and Falcon Crest, the block of daily soap operas on Sky One ran from 10.30am through to 3.30pm.

With the success of Sky One's daytime soap opera block, it was decided in 1994 to create a new, dedicated channel, and Sky Soap began broadcasting on 3 October 1994 from the Astra 1C satellite on weekdays between 8.00am and 12.00pm. The original line-up on the channel consisted entirely of American daytime soaps: a repeat run of the first season of Loving which originally aired on Sky One; Peyton Place (originally aired on ITV, and was replaced by Santa Barbara); plus, a new serial to UK viewers, Guiding Light, premiered, and As the World Turns returned, having aired on Sky One in 1989. Finally, current episodes of Another World, were moved across from Sky One.

The channel didn't attract viewers, and so the broadcast hours were changed to between 12.00pm and 4.00pm. By 1997, Sky Soap was broadcasting from Astra 1B, and the hours were extended to 11.00am to 4.00pm. The only American daytime soaps airing by then were As the World Turns and Guiding Light, while old episodes of British soaps were added to the line-up, including Emmerdale Farm, Families and Take the High Road.

Poor viewing figures following the launch of Sky Digital led to the channel's closure on 30 April 1999.

John Elias

John Elias was a Christian preacher in Wales in the first half of the 19th century, as part of the Welsh Methodist revival. His preaching was noted as being exceptionally powerful, "as if talking fire down from heaven". On one occasion it is said he preached to a crowd of 10,000 people. He was a strict High-Calvinist who believed in the literal truth of the Bible. At one stage he argued strongly for the doctrine of election. He came to be known as Y Pab Methodistaidd in Welsh (The Methodist Pope) because of his forthright views. Despite his wide interests, he was a religious conservative who opposed all forms of political Radicalism as well as the assertion, popular at the time amongst Nonconformists in Wales, that "the voice of the people was the voice of God".

Biography
John Elias was born at Abererch near Pwllheli on 6 May 1774 as John Jones.

For much of his early life he was brought up by his grandfather, and possessed the rare ability at the time to read both Welsh and English from an early age. He was able to read the Welsh Bible when between four and five years old. On Sundays they attended the parish church in the morning, and in the afternoon they would walk long distances together in order to hear some of the Methodist Revivalists.

The religious impressions of his younger days were deepened by a visit to Bala Association or Synod in 1792. The preaching there persuaded Elias to become further involved in the Christian faith. He left home and stayed with Griffith Jones at Penmorfa, Caernarvon, a weaver by trade and also a local preacher. Some weeks before being received into church-fellowship, he conducted family prayers during the absence from home of his master. The news of this spread abroad and caused a stir in the religious circles of the neighbourhood. They marvelled that he should pray in public. Griffith Jones commented – "His penetration and importunity in his prayers made us all marvel greatly."

"A day to remember," he wrote, "was that one day – Christmas Day in the year 1794 – when I was received a member of the Monthly Meeting, and permission was given me to preach the Gospel of Christ. I was then only twenty years and six months old, and only one year and three months old as professor of religion." His progress as a preacher was very rapid.

He proved himself to be a gifted young man, a born speaker. His passion also for work was intense. With all his might he laboured night and day in order to make amends for what was lacking in former days.

He was received into the Caernarvonshire Presbytery of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists at Christmas 1794.

Soon after New Year's Day 1799 he moved to Anglesey. On 22 February he married Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Broadhead of Llanbadrig, Anglesey. The couple were happy, loving and deeply sympathetic with one another, they enjoyed a life of sweet companionship for over twenty-nine years, until her death on 2 April 1828. They had four children; two of them died in infancy and two survived their father.

In 1830 following his second marriage he moved to Llangefni, where he lived until the day of his death, 8 June 1841. He is buried at Llanfaes Churchyard. A celebrated clergyman of the Church of England wrote in his diary,--"To-day, June 15, was buried the greatest preacher in Wales, and, perhaps, the greatest in the kingdom. May the Lord have mercy upon his church, and favour her again with such a minister as Elias was, like a flaming seraph in the pulpit." 10000 people are estimated to have attended his funeral.

Writings
John Elias was the author of numerous works in Welsh, all on a theological or doctrinal theme. He contributed regularly to the early Calvinistic Methodist periodical Y Drysorfa and wrote an autobiography, which was published long after his death. His most influential works in his day were Traethawd ar y Saboth (1804) and Golygiad Ysgrythurol ar Gyfiawnhad Pechadur (1821).

Regalia of the Netherlands

The regalia of the Netherlands consists of a number of items symbolising the Dutch monarch's authority and dignity. In comparison to many European monarchies' regalia, the Dutch regalia are relatively new: having been commissioned by King William II in 1840. An earlier, more modest set of regalia made of silver was commissioned by King William I in 1815.

Dutch monarchs are not and have never been crowned but are instead sworn-in and inaugurated in a ceremony at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. The regalia are never bestowed upon or worn by the monarch. Instead, the crown, sceptre, and orb are placed on what is called a credence table during the ceremony while the sword and standard are carried by different officials.

A number of jewellery worn by the Dutch royal family are termed as the Crown Jewels and are not part of the regalia, nor is the royal mantle part of the regalia.

Regalia
The regalia of the Netherlands consist of the following:

 * the crown, symbolising the sovereignty of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which currently consists of the Netherlands in Western Europe and three overseas countries in the Caribbean: Curaçao, Sint Maarten and Aruba. It also symbolises the dignity of the Sovereign as head of state. The renowned Amsterdam jewelry firm Bonebakker was commissioned to make the crown. The execution were left to master gold- and silversmith Theodorus Gerardus Bentvelt. It is made of gilded silver, adorned with coloured stones and imitations of pearls, and has eight arches with a monde and cross at the top.
 * the sceptre, symbolising the reigning King or Queen's authority;
 * the orb, symbolising the Sovereign territory;

Both sceptre and orb were made by court jeweler Meijer from The Hague.
 * the sword of state, standing for the Monarch's power;
 * the gonfalon of state (Rijksvaandel or Rijksbanier), a banner of white moiré silk suspended from a gilded spear, painted with the coat of arms of the Netherlands as decreed on 24 August 1815, symbolising the nation. The arms of the Netherlands have changed since 1815, but the depiction on the gonfalon has not. The artwork was by Bartholomeus van Hove.

During the inauguration, the monarch also wears a royal mantle (koningsmantel). The mantle, which is not part of the regalia, is made of purple velvet and is trimmed with ermine. 83 lions, embroidered in gold, adorn the mantle. The mantle was first used in 1815 and has been redesigned several times to fit the various monarchs and reflect the changing fashions. The lions are old and were part of King William I'st mantle. Part of the fur has been renewed or replaced and in 1948 the velvet was in such a poor condition that the Swiss couturier who was responsible for its adaptation had no choice but to replace it with a modern fabric.

Usage

Dutch monarchs have never been physically crowned. During royal inaugurations, the crown, sceptre and orb are displayed on a table in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, where the inaugurations take place. The Gonfalon of State and Sword of State are carried in the royal procession from Dam Palace to the Church and are held on either side of the royal dais in the Church during the swearing in ceremony.

Shilavo
Hoax. There's been something about this article that just didn't feel right to me, & after a bit of research learned the following: Please vote delete; after this foolishness is purged from Wikipedia, I'll add an article with some genuine information. llywrch 20:30, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The information in the first paragraph is a giveaway to anyone familiar with Ethiopian history. (I can go into more detail elsewhere, but to say that Ethiopia had a "government protemp" in 1745 is nonsensical.)
 * A quick search in a couple of books on Ethiopia fail to find a mention of Shilavo, which include Henze's Layers of History & the Bradt Travel Guide to Ethiopia; if this was an important comercial center in the 18th century, I'd expect Pankhurst's History of Ethiopian Towns to at least mention it -- & he does discuss or mention the history of over 50 other historic population centers in the Horn of Africa.
 * Yes, there is a place in Ethiopia called "Shilavo". However, most of the hits from Google are to articles mirrored from Wikipedia, but one or two do allow us to learn that this community has an airport/airstrip (call letters "HIL"), & is located at 44 deg. 46' E & 6 deg 5' N -- the middle of the Ogaden, hardly the place to attract commercial farms, let alone industry in the late 19th century.
 * A little more searching revealed that it is also known as "Scillave", possibly the Italian spelling. Google on this, & you find this hit at fallingrain.com. Based on this, Shivalo/Scillave is a small village of about 733 population.
 * Let's take a look at the original author of this article: an anon IP, which can be resolved to a DSL account in Chicago. Am I the only one to smell the rotting fish at this point?
 * delete agree with above. --Banana04131 21:08, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Avdotia Istomina

Evdokia or (informally) Avdotia Ilyinichna Istomina (Евдокия Ильинична Истомина; 1799–1848) was a Russian ballerina.

Biography
She was orphaned at a young age, but was accepted into the Imperial Theater School, where children could live in complete security.

A pupil of Charles Didelot, she debuted in the Imperial Russian Ballet in 1815 to immediate acclaim. Several people were killed duelling for her heart, and her honour was defended in the fourfold duel (1817): Count Zavadovsky killed Count Sheremetev, while the Decembrist Yakubovich shot through a palm of the playwright Alexander Griboedov. Her dancing is the subject of a brilliant stanza in Eugene Onegin, which was described by Vladimir Nabokov as the most mellifluous lines in the whole of Russian poetry.

She danced nearly all of the principal roles in ballets by Didelot. She became the first Russian dancer en pointe. She served in the Imperial Ballet for twenty years. She married a young actor, but he soon died. Late in life she remarried, this time to the dramatic actor Pavel Ekunin (ru: Павел Семенович Экунин). By this time she was no longer performing leading roles and her income was reduced by half. In the 1835/1836 season, she was injured during the performance and was asked to leave for treatment. Emperor Nicholas I of Russia saw this request and wrote the order: to be dismissed. On 30 January 1836 Avdotya Istomina came on stage one last time and danced a little Russian dance.

She died of cholera on 26 June 26 (8 July) in 1848 in St. Petersburg. The inscription on her tomb: "Avdotya Ilyinichna Ekunina, a retired actress".

2nd Academy Awards

The 2nd Academy Awards, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) on April 3, 1930, at an awards banquet in the Cocoanut Grove of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, honored the best films released between August 1, 1928, and July 31, 1929. This was the first Academy Awards ceremony broadcast on radio, by local station KNX, Los Angeles.

The second ceremony included a number of changes from the first: most importantly, it was the first presentation for which the winners were not announced in advance, and the number of award categories was reduced from twelve to seven. It is unique in that there were never any official nominees; instead, AMPAS conducted further research and came up with a list of unofficial or de facto nominees using records of the films that the judges had given their opinions on. Chester Morris was the first nominee for Best Actor born in the 20th century.

Mary Pickford, a founding member of AMPAS and married to its first president, lobbied to be considered for the Best Actress award, inviting the judges over for tea at her home, while other actresses being considered for the same award were not made aware of their status.

Jeanne Eagels became the first and, to date, only actress to be posthumously nominated for Best Actress, for The Letter. The Divine Lady became the last film to win Best Director without receiving a Best Picture nomination.

This is the only year in which no film won more than one Oscar. The Broadway Melody became the second of seven films to win Best Picture without a writing nomination (preceded by Wings, and followed by Grand Hotel, Cavalcade, Hamlet, The Sound of Music, and Titanic), and the first of three to win Best Picture and nothing else (followed by Grand Hotel and Mutiny on the Bounty).

Awards
Nominees were announced on October 31, 1929. Winners are listed first, highlighted in boldface and indicated with a double-dagger (‡).

Honorary awards
No Honorary Academy Awards – then called Special Awards – were conferred at the 2nd Academy Awards ceremony.

Multiple nominations and awards
In Old Arizona and The Patriot, with five nominations each, tied the record for the film receiving the most Academy Award nominations. This record was set by 7th Heaven at the 1st Academy Awards (1927–1928). One year later, at the 3rd Academy Awards (1929–1930), the record was broken by The Love Parade, which garnered six nominations. The current record for the film receiving the most Academy Award nominations – with fourteen nominations apiece – is held by All About Eve (1950), Titanic (1997), and La La Land (2016). This record has stood for years.

The following 9 films received multiple nominations:

Changes to Academy Awards
Beginning with the 2nd Academy Awards (1928–1929), the following changes were made by AMPAS.

 * Award categories were reduced from twelve to seven:
 * The awards for Best Director (Comedy Picture) and Best Director (Dramatic Picture) were merged into a single Best Director award.
 * The awards for Best Writing (Adaptation) and Best Writing (Original Story) were merged into a single Best Writing award (these would be split again for the 4th Awards).
 * The awards for Best Engineering Effects, Best Unique and Artistic Production, and Best Writing (Title Writing) were discontinued.
