Release of e-mail addresses
On meta:Talk:Privacy policy, somebody has complained who was apparently misled because the account creation page does not make it explicit that email addresses will be released if it is legally required. Should the text perhaps be altered for the benefit of those who read "We won't reveal your address to anyone" literally? -- Jeronim 22:18, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I would think that that would be essential. That's a problem, in my mind. If that's our privacy policy, then it should read "We won't release your e-mail address to anyone unless it's legally required." That doesn't sound great, but if that's the truth, then that's the truth. --Blackcap | talk 01:19, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Proposed changes to text regarding visiblility of e-mail addresses
I didn't realize at first that when you send another user e-mail, he will be able to see your e-mail address. I know that sounds clueless, but I honestly assumed that when I sent another user an e-mail, my address would either be anonymized or it wouldn't be shown. I figure that if I can make this mistake, others can too. Here's the text as it is now:
 * However, giving your e-mail address allows other users to send you mail without knowing your address, and enables password reminders to be requested.

Here's my proposed text (changes shown in bold):
 * However, giving your e-mail address allows you to send mail to others, using this as the reply-to address, other users to send you mail without knowing your address, and enables password reminders to be requested.

I'm interested in any suggestions others may have here, and maybe someone else will have a better wording than mine. Hopefully these changes will be helpful. --Blackcap | talk 01:19, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

(migrating talk from Village Pump (proposals))

I'm reposting this here from WP:AN (I had originally posted there as this is a protected page, and would need an admin to change it). I've thought for a while that the text on this message (MediaWiki:Loginend) is misleading. Jeronim has pointed out there that the phrase "We won't reveal your address to anyone" isn't accurate, as we will if we legally need to. Also, I didn't realize at first that my e-mail would be visible to users that I sent mail to, or that it was required in order to send mail (yes, I know how clueless that sounds, but I didn't really think about it until later). I've proposed some changes at MediaWiki talk:Loginend (bolding added to make the changes more visible): essentially, that the phrase "We won't reveal your address to anyone" be changed to "We won't release your e-mail address to anyone unless it's legally required," and the sentence "However, giving your e-mail address allows other users to send you mail without knowing your address, and enables password reminders to be requested" be changed to "However, giving your e-mail address allows you to send mail to others, using this as the reply-to address, other users to send you mail without knowing your address, and enables password reminders to be requested."

I think that this will be helpful, not to mention more honest. It's going to be a little bit longer than before. However, I think that the gain in information and accuracy is worth it. If anyone has better texts, please suggest them—I don't like my "unless it's legally required" addition that much, but I think that that or a phrase like it is mandated to be consistent with our prvacy policy. Sorry to be pedantic, folks. Blackcap | talk 21:26, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't really like the proposed changes, as both sound kind of wordy and may scare some users aware. For the first one, why not ask a Board member (try Angela or Anthere) if we need to add that? Unless the Board states that there may be a need to add that, I don't see an urgent need to introduce that piece of text. For the second proposed change, I think that it makes it too wordy. How about adding more details at Emailing users (a currently pretty-much abandoned page) and add a link to the log-in page? (I.e. "For more information, see here.") Thanks. Flcelloguy (A note? ) 22:24, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree that the changes suggested are a little wordy, especially the one about the email. I'd also point out that when you actually go to mail a user, that page does say 'The e-mail address you entered in your user preferences will appear as the "From" address of the mail, so the recipient will be able to reply.' Maybe we should bold some of that text to highlight the issue? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 22:39, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I didn't really like them that much myself (my changes, I mean). You have a good point in saying that that message is already in MediaWiki:Emailpagetext (which is the text that comes up when you attempt to e-mail a user), but for someone who doesn't have an e-mail ID, that's not so helpful. I like Flcelloguy's proposal above to add a link to Emailing users. It seems to me more honest to add that in, so that it's crystal clear what the policies are and what we'll do with the information. As an aside, the original conversation that brought this up is here: m:Talk:Privacy policy. Blackcap (talk) 13:04, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with the sentiments expressed by Blackcap. (Somewhere here I criticised the "Bugzilla" procedure for, as far as I can tell, asking for an email address and then publishing it to the whole world without even a single warning!) I would point out, though, that the sentence "However, giving your e-mail address allows you to send mail to others, using this as the reply-to address, other users to send you mail without knowing your address, and enables password reminders to be requested." is gobbledegook. Matt 11:32, 20 November 2005 (UTC).

 * Hmmm. Why do you think that? Because it's redundant? Or because it's poorly phrased? I agree that it's not the best in the world, but I haven't yet thought of a better alternative save the idea brought forth by Flcelloguy. Oh, and by the way, I have the same problem with Bugzilla. I don't really know why they do that the way they do: it seems like there's surely a better way to give out contact information without compromising privacy so much. Blackcap (talk) 18:55, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

 * What I mean is that it is a long and overly complicated sentence, with a complicated punctuation structure which takes several attempts to figure out. And even then, never having used the facilities in question, I am not sure what it is trying to say. E.g. I'm not sure if you are talking about a Wikipedia facility, or email in general. Basically I just think that whatever is trying to be said could be said a whole lot more clearly. If I understood it I would offer a suggestion! Matt 00:10, 21 November 2005 (UTC).

 * I see. What I was trying to say was that, by providing an e-mail address, you would be able to e-mail other Wikipedians who have also have an e-mail set in this preference. Otherwise, you will be unable to e-mail them (unless you happen to know their address). The e-mail provided would be used as the reply-to address. Blackcap (talk) 00:14, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Discourage use of real name?
A few users have recently come under various degrees of real-world harrassment due to their use of their real names on Wikipedia, at least one of which regrets doing so. Due to the existence of mirrors, etc. it isn't really possible to "take back" having revealed ones' real name, yet it is always possible to reveal it later if necessary or desirable. Should we discourage users from using their real name as their usernames, or at least warn of the risks? And do something similar on the MediaWiki:Prefs-help-realname? Demi T/C 00:56, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * At least a warning would be helpful. ‣ ᓛᖁ  [[Image:Venus symbol (blue).gif|♀]] [ ᑐ ] 01:39, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't think users should be actively discouraged from using their real name, but a short note warning them of the possible consequences is a good idea. Canderson7 (talk) 02:34, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree with Canderson7; a light word of warning would be OK, but not a discouragement. — Matt Crypto 12:51, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'd go with the light warning rather than the discouragement. Hiding  talk 13:45, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay, a light warning seems reasonable. How about something like "Consider not using your real name on Wikipedia--you can always identify yourself later, if desired." Demi T/C 00:14, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

How about "The real name you enter will be propagated to other servers beyond our control, and thus will be forever attached to any contributions you make. Proceed with caution, or be brave and stand up for what you believe." — Stevie is the man!  Talk 02:14, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It's a little long for the short tips; since we welcome anonymous contributors (as in WP:BITE) we shouldn't describe revealing personal information as 'brave'. Demi T/C 20:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I think "Consider not ..." is already too much of a discouragement. How about "See this discussion if you are considering to use your real name." (I actually think we should encourage people to identify themselves, because it will make them more cautious about what they write and it will generate trust.) -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 00:36, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with you completely about this point. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-12-3 01:07

Given the recent Seigenthaler controversy, I, as a proud real-name user, definitely do not think it a good idea to discourage this practice. Yes, we should warn people of the possible consequences, but I think allowing people to use their real name encourages the sort of Wikipedians we want here, people who will stand behind what they write and write what they would stand behind. Daniel Case 03:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

We should definitely discourage real names. OpenBSD prides itself on being 'secure by default'; we're only an encyclopedia and not an operating system, but I think the same principle applies. It's just not a good idea to by default give away sensitive and personal information like that; even if you think it's perfectly safe, you may be terribly terribly wrong. --Gwern (contribs) 22:36 22 November 2006 (GMT)

 * We don't use the real name by default, do we? I don't understand at all how you conclude that "we should discourage" from the rest of your comment. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 02:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Why isn't this text showing anymore on the sign up page?
Redisign is all right, but if a page is moved, it should be moved to a working location, not blanked. - Mgm|(talk) 09:33, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

It's showing on here --Watcharakorm 10:05, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I only see it there if I go to it while already logged in. —Cryptic (talk) 11:19, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

 * It shows up fine for me when not logged in. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-12-2 15:31

 * You're right; I'm a dolt. I was looking at plain Special:Userlogin (which is where the "Sign in / create account" in the upper right takes you) instead. —Cryptic (talk) 17:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Usernames that will be blocked
Some of the kinds of usernames that are listed in WP:USERNAME are not especially obvious to a new Wikipedian. I'm thinking of names like "FooBot", which require some understanding of Wikipedia operations to see why they are inappropriate. The current message does include links to WP:USERNAME, but not directly to the "Inappropriate usernames" section. I propose to add a third bullet point under "Username should not contain:" to include this link. Something like, "Certain other kinds of names related to Wikipedia operations." FreplySpang 14:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds like an excellent idea to me. pschemp | talk 15:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I like. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 15:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * There. Instead of adding Yet Another bullet point, I put the link behind "offensive, confusing, or unreadable text or characters", which has the useful effect of putting it at the top. FreplySpang 15:52, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * This is indeed a more accurate definition. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  04:03, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Move these notes to the right of the form
I was going to suggest an additional note to put in this message, but it occurred to me that that text will probably often not be read, because people don't scroll down the page. So wouldn't it be better if the content of MediaWiki:Signupend was displayed to the right (or left) of the account creation form (the form with the captcha could be modified to be less wide), instead of below it? --83.253.36.136 15:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Suggested additional note
Tip: Since more than 1,000,000 usernames have already been registered, most common names and words have already been taken. Therefore, be creative when making up your username: Choose an unusual name or word, make a creative combination of words, or modify the name in a unique way (for example by adding a number). ... to help people avoid having their requested names rejected multiple times. (and see Move these notes to the right of the form above.) --83.253.36.136 16:10, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Sign up instructions
Following a recent spree of improper (per WP:U) company-usernames that have been listed in WP:RFCN, there was a short discussion in its talkpage. It seems that the information that no company names are allowed, is one of the very few restrictions of WP:U that are not explicitly listed in the create an account page. A few concerned editors came up with the proposal to add the following restriction below the "names of celebrities":

 * existing company names (including not-for-profit organizations) and trademarks

We think that this will seriously help in limiting the backlog of improper usernames in RFCN and AIV. Furthermore, the selection of those usernames, may actually be in good faith, since people may be creating accounts from e.g. their office. I'd be really mad if I were in their shoes and found myself listed in RFCN or AIV without a warning from the sign up page. Can we include that in the sign up page please?

E-mail address
"Do not use an e-mail address as your username. It will be very visible, and make you a target of spammers."

Haven't e-mail addresses as usernames been technically disabled? —Centrx→talk • 16:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well the use of the "@" character has been disabled, but I could still make my username centrx_the_baffled_admn_at_wikipedia.org as my username, thus giving away my e-mail address (and no, that is not my real e-mail address). Cbrown1023 talk 20:48, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

"Pros and cons of using your real name"
At the bottom of the page, it says this:
 * Your username will frequently appear publicly on the site; see the pros and cons of using your real name.

The link just leads to the username policy page, but not to the bit that discusses use of real name. Presumably, when that link was added, the username policy had a section called "Real names versus pseudonyms". As the page is protected, could an administrator please change the link to Username_policy, which is the actual section of the page where that issue is discussed? Thanks.

Password strength
editprotected Due to the recent occurences of hacked admin accounts, perhaps we should add a line about password strength to this page, so that new users (perhaps future admins) pick a secure password from the get-go. I would suggest something like:
 * For your own security, please choose a secure password. See Password strength or this essay for help in choosing a strong password.

Usurpation?
I'd like to suggest that a sentence mentioning about Changing username/Usurpations be mentioned. Because once I've changed my name from Edmundkh, then re-register with the name. Now I'm regret for doing so. I'd like to help the person who wish to register with Edmundkh, but unfortunately I'm not an admin, so I can't edit this page. --Edmund the King of the Woods! 03:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think usurpations are a far too rare thing to have mentioned in a high-profile message such as this. It adds lines that almost no one needs to read, thereby causing more people to skim over the entire thing.  I think that almost everyone that usurps names is familiar with the process and will read the rules and directions first. — M ETS 501 (talk) 04:26, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

But I think at least there must be something to help newcomer who wants a name which is already registered. --Edmund the King of the Woods! 04:30, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Protection
Should the text be semi-protected? A couple socks went through here today, though the damage was undone rather quickly. However I think semi may be in order on this text, but I wanted to know your thoughts on it first? Nja 247 23:00, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The entire MediaWiki namespace is automatically fully protected. MediaWiki: pages cannot be unprotected or bumped down to semiprotection; there isn't even a "protect"/"unprotect" option on them.  This is a feature of the MediaWiki software.  If this page contained images or transcluded text, then that'd be another matter - MediaWiki: namespace protection doesn't cascade - but that isn't the case here. - Jredmond (talk) 17:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Could a line about ACC be added here?
editprotected For users who are unsure about policy, could we add a line about WP:ACC. I've a draft here Thx, Manish Earth Talk •  Stalk
 * I'd disagree with this, as the purpose of the ACC tool is for people who for whatever reason cannot create an account themselves (e.g. it's too similar to an existing account, or they can't read the captcha) - it's not really for people who are unsure if there account name is valid. --  Phantom Steve / talk | contribs \ 15:57, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * As Username policy says If you want to seek approval for a username, you can do so by filing a request at Wikipedia:Request an account., then against my thoughts, I will add the line to this page. It might benefit from a discussion, as I feel that the tool shouldn't be for that purpose, but for those who can't create their account, as I said above, and I will be leaving a message about this on Wikipedia_talk:Username_policy. --  Phantom Steve / talk | contribs \ 16:34, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Mention that an account is not needed to look up information
✅ By Phantomsteve
 Approximately 85% of all new accounts are never used - I think that it is probably because people mistakenly think that you need to have an account to be able to use (as opposed to edit) the encyclopedia.

Would it be beneficial to add a mention of this? Perhaps something along the lines of:
 * Please note that you do not need an account to USE Wikipedia to find information - you can do that without registering. However, an account has many benefits if you want to edit the encyclopedia as opposed to just using it to find information.

What do people think? --  Phantom Steve / talk | contribs \ 16:18, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

A very much shorter version
Hello,

After asking for input on MediaWiki messages and receiving only supporting voices, I removed the very verbose, warning filled version in favor of a very much shorter version. This version is friendlier, doesn't repeat information that can be read at the top of the same page, and links to all the information that was present in the earlier version.

The reason behind this edit is to further increase the number of people who intend to create accounts, to actually go through with it. So, assuming that newcomers prefer a friendlier version, the number of new accounts should increase slightly. You can follow the results, as soon as we have them here. I will post further results on English Wikipedia as well.

Best wishes//Hannibal (talk) 22:41, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have any actual data to back up this claim, but to me it seems that we are getting a greater frequency of new users requesting rename at WP:CHUS because of username policy issues, perhaps due to the complete removal of any information about the username policy during the signup process. I think that some middle ground should be struck between the previous and the current implementations of the signup page. – xeno talk 14:12, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. I doubt that we need hard data right now, but to understand the situation a little better: is your opinion that more people are creating user names that are their own names, more promotional names, more rude names, or what other category of bad names? The information about the username policy is linked to in the text above the account creation form. If we want to want to change something about how we adress this, it should probably be there. And if for example people tend to choose their own names more, we may want to state something explicitly about that. By the way, no matter what version we create now, it will probably be tweaked in the next round of new high-quality Account Creation pages. I'll tell you more about it soon.//Hannibal (talk) 17:19, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the two major problems are 1) people creating accounts using a company name and 2) people creating an account using the real name and later realizing what a bad idea that is. I realize the link leads to the information about this, but probably not many people are following the link. – xeno talk 17:46, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That was my suspicions as well. If this is a problem that you feel that we should deal with, feel free to add something on the Fancycaptcha page, but try to keep it to below two short sentences. Thank you.//Hannibal (talk) 20:48, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Azo coupling

In organic chemistry, an azo coupling is an reaction between a diazonium compound (R\sN\tN+) and another aromatic compound that produces an azo compound (R\sN\dN\sR’). In this electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, the aryldiazonium cation is the electrophile, and the activated carbon (usually from an arene, which is called coupling agent), serves as a nucleophile. Classical coupling agents are phenols and naphthols. Usually the diazonium reagent attacks at the para position of the coupling agent. When the para position is occupied, coupling occurs at a ortho position, albeit at a slower rate.

Uses of the reaction
Aromatic azo compounds tend to be brightly colored due to their extended conjugated systems. Many are useful dyes (see azo dye). Important azo dyes include methyl red and pigment red 170.

Azo printing exploits this reaction as well. In this case, the diazonium ion is degraded by light, leaving a latent image in undegraded diazonium salt which is made to react with a phenol, producing a colored image: the blueprint.

Prontosil, the first sulfa drug, was once produced by azo coupling. The azo compound is a prodrug that is activated in-vivo to produce the sufanilamide.

The reaction is also used in the Pauly reaction test to detect tyrosine or histidine residues in proteins.

Additionally, through the azo coupling reaction between the aromatic diazonium ion and aromatic amino acid residues, this reaction also be used to form or to modify proteins such as tRNA synthetase.

Examples of azo C-coupling reactions
Illustrative is the reaction of phenol with benzenediazonium chloride to give a Solvent Yellow 7, a yellow-orange azo compound. The reaction is faster at high pH. Many other azo dyes have been prepared by similarly. Several procedures have been described in detail.
 * [[Image:Azo-coupling-A-mechanism-2D-skeletal.png|800px]]

Naphthols are popular coupling agents. One example is the synthesis of the dye "organol brown" from aniline and 1-naphthol:
 * Synthesis_of_Organol_Brown_N.svg

Similarly, β-naphthol couples with phenyldiazonium electrophile to produce an intense orange-red dye.

Besides activated aromatic coupling agents, other nucleophilic carbons could also be coupled with diazonium salt:

Examples of azo N-coupling reactions
In alkaline media, diazonium salt can react with most primary and secondary amines, which exist as a free base to produce triazene. This chemical reaction is called azo N-coupling, or the synthesis of azoamines.

The dye called aniline yellow is produced by the reaction of aniline and a diazonium salt. In this case the C- and N-coupling compete.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Wikipedia Hall of Shame

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

The result of the debate was delete. --Tony Sidaway Talk 10:00, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Hall of Shame
Not 100% sure about this. Looks like some sort of trolling attempt. Thought I'd list it here for consensus. Kurt Shaped Box 22:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Deletion log shows it's been speedied a couple times in the last hour. At best user:Cathytreks is trying to make a WP:POINT. At worst, she's a troll. Speedy delete and protect -Satori (talk) 22:24, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, assuming good faith, she's probably just a newbie who doesn't understand our procedures. The page doesn't belong in article space, though. -Satori (talk) 00:19, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Might not be bad if it's done right. I vote to keep it on a probationary status, but not if its sole purpose is to humiliate authors, but rather serves as a source of humor, interest, or examples of what not to do.22:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC) ''This comment is by User:Jbrakatselos - user's 6th edit. FreplySpang (talk) 22:36, August 24, 2005 (UTC)''

 * FWIW - The author has defended it on my user talk page: It doesn't sound likely to be a serious encyclopedia-type article anyway, so delete. FreplySpang (talk) 22:36, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Hi everybody, to the concerned person(s) above, first off, I an not a "troll" (whatever that means!) I work here at the Wiki on my own time as we all do!, I am a participant in the following group for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikipedians_for_encyclopedic_merit and I just happen to be working on a subject in an article for Wikipedia, and yeah, while it is only a stub at this point in a few hours I hope it will be read and enjoyed by most with a smile and a wink at for my efforts at the worst. So please wont you all give me a few measurements of time to show you ???? I am a serious editor here at Wikipedia! (and I care!)

I thank you in advance Shalom! (Cathytreks 22:38, 24 August 2005 (UTC))

 * Looks speediable to me, but what the heck. Delete. --fvw *  22:44, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, possibly BJAODN - Whatever the case, this does not belong in the main article namespace, because it is clearly about things internal to Wikipedia --Mysidia (talk) 23:00, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Hall of Shame!
Is a place where people who dont dare register their IP go, and also those who fail to check their facts first before they make an edit may reside as well! Hey guys who want to delete this remember.....This article is a stub. More ..much more to come...So please stand by for...The Wikipedia Hall of Shame! which will serves as a source for humor, interest, or examples of what not to do while editing here on The Wikipedia! come back and fee free to contribute and edit edit edit..in good fun and so please feel free to share your ideas, I'll be back later with a bunch of things. (btw, im not a troll either but love to help make things better around here) User:Cathytreks 22:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC))

Here is my view on Wikipedia from the group im in here on reform of Wiki: "I too shall be glad to assist in helping to develop a standard of thoughful concensus building which shall not impose new censorship standards on the Wikipedia, save those self imposed ones that lay within ourselves. While the concept of "decency" may be POV on its face still, there should be some basic standard of decency that a community should strive to abide by, lest we suffer that result, which would undoubtedly be ...total anarchy." from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikipedians_for_encyclopedic_merit

 * Move since User:Cathytreks, seems to think it important, to Wikipedia: or User: namespace or BJAODN. Does not belong in main namespace at all. -- RHaworth 23:16:29, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
 * Delete, it certainly doesn't belong in the article space, and it looks like nothing but a bitch page. Zoe 23:20, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Cathy is not a troll, and edits in good faith. This should, however, be in her user space.  BJAODN stands for "Bad Jokes And Other Deleted Nonsense," which is where a lot of examples of what not to do end up -- in other words, Cathy, I'm afraid someone has beat you to setting this sort of page up.  If, however, you would like to keep a log of pages that serve as examples of what not to do, I'd again suggest setting that up connected to your user page.  Cheers, JDoorjam 23:33, 24 August 2005 (UTC).

 * Delete. Original research. ManoaChild 23:34, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * There is no existing wikipedia definition of shameworthy. This article attempts to define such a concept.  Hence, original research. WP:NOR applies. ManoaChild 23:51, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Excuse me nice editors...I dont even know some/most of you people and yet you treat me as a vandal/troll!...why?..why are you to be sitting in judgement on me and saying those kinds of things, like im a bad person, give me a break, and just Who or what is a BAJOADN!? , anyway you guys arent even giving me a chance...so im going to just work on my piece and hope you will think differently when its no longer just a stub...Please give my article a chance!? I am a serious editor here and this is rediculous how rudely and wrongly I am treated by some of you. ..forshame on those who act so. :( please...and it is not original research! (Cathytreks 23:25, 24 August 2005 (UTC))

 * I say delete. Hey, Cathy, what you are writing is not an article. This is not a bunch of community pages; this is an encyclopædia. Much as I like personal camaraderie, I cannot really define that as belonging to an encyclopædia. IINAG 23:47, 24th August 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: Arrrgh, let's not drag this thru VfD. It's clearly not suitable for the article namespace.  How about moving it to Hall of Shame and worrying no more about it?  Friday (talk) 23:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Let's just get her to move it to her namespace, as I suspect it will be better suited there.
 * I do not see why there should be a 'Wikipedia Hall of shame,' either in an article form, or as part of the communal community pages. Such a thing would be completely subjective, and would be both a cause of more friction than harmony, and, in a twisted way, a recognition of spammers' potency. Surely, we should not dedicate our space to those who try to bring this encyclopaedia down. IINAG 00:12, 25th August 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't believe that's remotely the intent here, but I can understand why this may be better off as a user page than anywhere else. I see no reason to continue the VfD process for this one, though.  There's no way this can end up existing in the article namespace.  Friday (talk) 00:17, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete (or userfy) I can't see any good coming of this. --Doc (?) 00:16, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Jaxl | talk 00:58, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

I had a dream ...of a Wikipedia site where anyone who was lost or erred by accedent might come to a place of learning from those who messed up..in a good way...no name calling no baiting...just a place to pick up the pieces as editors to be after a gafaw...guess I made a mistake to think it would be an encyclopedic article worth merit and fun...as I slump in defeat over this I am sorry I wasted the idea at Wikipedia...this time, but please dont count either the idea or me out yet cuz..."I'll be back" lol ;-) (Cathytreks 01:31, 25 August 2005 (UTC))

Thank You Everybody
Thank you all who wrote so kindly to me on my User Talk page and exsplained it all so well, I want to be an asset to the community and be of value, I'll be back with something of value to contribute I hope that you will be as kind again as you were on my user page after you learned I only meant good stuff! ...best to all Cathy! :-) (Cathytreks 01:49, 25 August 2005 (UTC))

Alpha Kappa Mu

The Alpha Kappa Mu National Honor Society (ΑΚΜ) is an American collegiate honor society recognizing academic excellence in all areas of study.

History
Alpha Kappa Mu was founded on 1937-11-26 at Tennessee Agricultural & Industrial State College in Nashville, Tennessee. Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society grew out of an idea conceived by George W. Gore then dean of Tennessee A&I State College. In November 1937, Gore invited representatives from five colleges that already had local scholastic honor societies on their campuses to meet at the college. The 'Federation of Honor Societies formed as an outgrowth of this meeting on November 26, 1937.

The local organizations that merged to form the Federation of Honor Societies were Alpha Epsilon at Bennett College, Alpha Delta Sigma at West Virginia State College, Beta Tau Upsilon at Tuskegee Institute, Gamma Tau at Negro Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, and Phi Beta Tau at Tennessee Agricultural & Industrial State College. The first chairman of the Federation was James C. Evans of West Virginia State College and Gore was the executive secretary/treasurer.

The original goal of the Federation of Honor Societies was to promote and reward academic excellence among African-American students. Due to its roots, most added chapters were located at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, though some later additions are at predominantly white colleges.

Its first annual convention was held at Tennessee A&I State College in 1937. At its third annual convention at Arkansas Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal College in December 1939, its names was changed to Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society and a constitution was approved.

Alpha Kappa Mu was admitted to the Association of College Honor Societies in 1952. Gore retired from being the executive secretary/treasurer in 1974 after 25 years in that office, becoming an emeritus member of the society's executive committee. Alpha Kappa Mu was incorporated in the State of South Carolina on September 7, 1977. Starting in 1999, its convention became biennial.

The society has admitted approximately 93,000 members at 79 chapters. Most chapters are found in the South and Midwest, and the majority are at public colleges and universities. Its national headquarters is in Albany, Georgia.

Symbols
The official colors of Alpha Kappa Mu are Royal Blue and white. The society's symbols are the torch, the quill, and the open book. Its publication is Alpha Kappa Mu Newsletter.

Its stole consists of a white honor cord that wraps behind the neck and down both sides of the front and is joined across the chest with a blue satin v-shaped panel embroidered in gold and black with the society's key.

Membership
Potential members are in the top ten percent of their class and are juniors or seniors with a GPA of 3.3 with a minimum of thirty hours. Graduate students with a GPA of 3.7 with a minimum of fifteen hours are also eligible for membership. Although originally linked to historically Black colleges and universities, today acceptance of new members is race-blind.

Chapters
Alpha Kappa Mu has chartered 79 chapters in colleges and universities across the United States.

Image copyright problem with Image:NES_Metroid_Map.jpg
Carnildo:
 * Thanks for uploading Image:NES_Metroid_Map.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

 * The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

 * Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 13:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Kris18:
 * Thank you for notifying me about my mistake on Image:NES_Metroid_Map.jpg, but unfortunately I do not know the correct lisense. I would like to keep it on Wikipedia for use but I understand the policy and I guess I have to let it be deleted by an admin. Kris18 21:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Kris18. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Red Plaid Ninja.PNG) was found at the following location: User:Kris18/PlaidNinjas. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or    media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 08:20, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:KartRiderGlove.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:KartRiderGlove.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:25, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Summation
Hi, Kris! If you are interested in summation look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ascoldcaves. The full proof of the summation formula you can see at www.oddmaths.info/indefinitesum. In the article there is a single summation formula to sum any analytical function with any summation boundaries. If you are a user of “Mathematica” there is at the bottom left of the page of the site a button “examples”. Opening the examples in “Mathematica” you can choose an analytical function at your choice and arbitrary complex boundaries and calculate your sum.

Non-free rationale for File:Winbrick2k.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Winbrick2k.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Zagato Zele

The Zagato Zele 1000, 1500, 2000 (sold in the United States as the Elcar) is an electric microcar with a fiberglass body manufactured by the Italian design company Zagato. Produced 1974–1976, the Zele was an unusual departure from Zagato's famous designs, which had long been known for their beauty and performance. The Zele, however, was high, square cornered and had a low top speed. They were produced in 7 colors (Orange-red, Brown, Dark blue, Pastel blue, White, Green and metal flake Blue) and the chassis and suspension were derived from the Fiat 500 and Fiat 124. The 1000, 1500, and 2000 stands for the wattage of the motors respectively. Approximately 500 were made.

The Zele employed a 4 position speed selector and a 2 position foot pedal providing six forward speeds, two reverse speeds and a range of approximately 50 mi. The Zele 2000 also featured a boost switch which, once at top speed, weakens the motor's magnetic fields in the field coils to produce less torque but a greater top speed. Its top speed was between 25 and 30 mph.

The American importer for the vehicle, Elcar Corporation, also created an elongated four-seat prototype called the Elcar Wagonette.

Same-sex marriage in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten

Same-sex marriage is legal in Aruba and Curaçao, which are constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The islands are obliged to conduct same-sex marriages following a ruling from the Supreme Court of the Netherlands on 12 July 2024. In September 2021, a lower court in Curaçao ruled that preventing same-sex couples from marrying violates the equality provisions of the Constitution of Curaçao, but left the decision of whether to legalise same-sex marriage up to the Parliament of Curaçao. In December 2022, the Joint Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba ruled on appeal that Aruba's and Curaçao's same-sex marriage bans were unconstitutional. The court order was set to go into effect on 7 March 2023 if not appealed to the Supreme Court; however, the governments of both Curaçao and Aruba subsequently appealed. On 12 July 2024, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court ruling, effectively legalizing same-sex marriage in Aruba and Curaçao with immediate effect.

Marriage in the Netherlands proper, as well as in the Caribbean municipalities of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, is also open to same-sex couples. The final constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Sint Maarten, does not perform same-sex marriages. Aruba has also recognized registered partnerships providing almost all of the rights and benefits of marriage since September 2021.

Registered partnerships
Registered partnerships (geregistreerd partnerschap, ; union civil, ) offering several of the rights, benefits and obligations of marriage have been recognized in Aruba for different-sex and same-sex couples since 1 September 2021.

In November 2015, Prime Minister Mike Eman promised to support bills legalizing registered partnerships for same-sex couples. On 8 September 2016, the Parliament of Aruba voted in favor of an amendment to the Aruban Civil Code legalizing registered partnerships for both same-sex and opposite-sex couples. The amendment gives couples in registered partnerships almost all of the rights offered to married couples, such as access to spousal pensions and the possibility to make emergency medical decisions for a partner. Governor Fredis Refunjol granted royal assent on 23 September 2016, and the law came into effect on 1 September 2021, after the government published a commencement order.

Following the passage of the registered partnership bill in Aruba, LGBT organizations in both Curaçao and Sint Maarten said they were hopeful such laws would also be approved in their respective countries. After an amendment giving cohabiting couples, including same-sex couples, some limited legal rights was proposed in the Parliament of Curaçao in 2017, former Prime Minister Gerrit Schotte suggested that a referendum on the legalisation of same-sex marriage be held on the island, though no referendum was held.

Same-sex marriage
Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten have separate civil codes from the Netherlands proper. Marriage licenses and other documents regarding civil status from elsewhere in the Kingdom (including the European and Caribbean parts of the country of the Netherlands) must be accepted by these constituent countries as a result of Article 40 of the Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and therefore registration of a same-sex marriage from the Netherlands is possible in all countries. In July 2024, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in Aruba and Curaçao. Sint Maarten does not perform same-sex marriage but registers marriages performed in the remaining parts of the Kingdom. However, acceptance and registration of a same-sex marriage does not mean automatic equal treatment: if a facility (e.g. social benefits) is only open to married couples, this applies in certain cases only to heterosexual couples. When a facility, however, is also open to non-married couples, then same-sex couples have to be included based on non-discrimination rules.

Case law
As the civil codes did not mention same-sex marriage, several court cases had given information on the status of same-sex marriages in the three islands. As the jurisprudence of the Kingdom is dependent on each other, decisions in other countries have in the same situation the same validity. Before the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, Curaçao and Sint Maarten were part of the latter country, and as such their civil codes are based on the Civil Code of the Netherlands Antilles.

Recognition of Dutch marriages
A case was launched in 2002 by a same-sex couple seeking recognition of their Dutch marriage in Aruba. Citing one of the partners' inability to receive health care benefits from the job of the other, as entitled to a spouse in a heterosexual marriage, they accused the Aruban Government of discrimination. The government was adamantly opposed to the court challenge. The couple reported that they often had rocks thrown at them, were suffering from depression and were residing in the Netherlands after leaving Aruba in November 2003 because of harassment when they tried to register as a married couple. In December 2004, the Aruba Court of First Instance ruled that their marriage should be registered in Aruba. The Aruban Government's stance was that the Civil Code of Aruba did not allow for same-sex marriage, and that it "[went] against Aruba's way of life".

The government appealed the ruling to the Common Court of Justice of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba (since 2010 the Joint Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba). The court upheld the decision on 23 August 2005, stating that: "The Dutch marriage can be inscribed in the register. Since Aruba is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, it must comply with demands of the Kingdom." The ruling was based on Article 40 of the Charter of the Kingdom of the Netherlands which states that civil certificates are valid throughout the Kingdom. Aruban Prime Minister Nelson O. Oduber reacted to the decision by declaring, "We give neither legal nor moral recognition to same-sex marriages." The government appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court of the Netherlands. On April 13, 2007, the Supreme Court declared that, in accordance with the Charter, all marriages contracted in the different parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, must be accepted in the other parts of the Kingdom as well. It ruled that the matter that Aruba did not have a same-sex marriage law or that it "[went] against Aruba's 'way of life'" was irrelevant to the issue. With this ruling, Aruba, as well as Curaçao and Sint Maarten, must recognize same-sex marriages performed in the Netherlands and the Caribbean Netherlands.

Same-sex divorce
In the case of a joint divorce request of a same-sex couple in Aruba, a court ruled in 2008 that even though same-sex marriages were not mentioned in the Civil Code of Aruba, the partners constituted a married couple and as such should be allowed to divorce.

Non-equal treatment of married couples
In July 2008, the Netherlands Antilles Court of First Instance in Curaçao ruled against the Antillean Office for Healthcare Facilities (BZV; Stichting Bureau Ziektekostenvoorzieningen) for discriminating against a married lesbian couple. The court ruled that the office had acted illegally when it refused to register the couple in its health insurance scheme. The judgement of the ruling held that "the recognition of the marriage certificate also means the recognition of the legal consequences of the marriage certificate". The decision was overturned on appeal in June 2009 by the Common Court of Justice of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba, which stated that although a same-sex marriage had to be registered as a marriage, this did not require organizations and agencies to give the same effect to them as other marriages. The court ruled similarly in June 2010 in a case involving the enrollment of a same-sex couple in a collective health insurance scheme, stating explicitly that enrollment to same-sex couples was only possible as enrollment was also open to non-married couples and thus excluding same-sex couples would constitute discrimination. If non-married couples were excluded, then there would be no obligation for same-sex couples to be included.

Discriminatory exclusion from marriage
On 27 May 2020, the Court of First Instance of Aruba ruled in Fundacion Orguyo Aruba (et al.) v. Country Aruba that the government was acting unlawfully by not offering an alternative to marriage for same-sex couples. The Fundacion Orguyo Aruba appealed parts of the court decision on 6 July 2020, arguing that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry instead of having access to an alternative partnership institution. Registered partnerships were legalized in Aruba in September 2021, but the case continued.

On 13 September 2021, the Court of First Instance in Curaçao found that the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage was contrary to the equality principle of the Constitution of Curaçao, but left it to the Parliament to address the unlawful discrimination. "There is no justification to deny same-sex couples the right to get married, certainly as long as there is no comparable legal system such as a registered partnership", the court said. The case was filed by a lesbian couple who had been together for more than 10 years and who sought the right to marry. The Human Rights Caribbean Foundation said the ruling was a "step forward" and an "asset to anyone who supports fundamental rights and is committed to equality". The government filed an appeal of the decision in June 2022, though Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas had announced immediately after the court ruling that it had plans to appeal.

The Joint Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba ruled in both cases on 6 December 2022 that the same-sex marriage bans in Aruba and Curaçao were unconstitutional and that same-sex couples must be allowed to marry in those islands. The court ruled that "the fact that marriage is a centuries old tradition" did not justify differential treatment for same-sex couples, the argument that the legalization of same-sex marriages would "weaken marriage" was "objectively unjustified", and that registered partnerships were no acceptable alternative for same-sex couples as marriage carries "symbolic, emotional and intrinsic value" that offers "more protection and stability". The effect of the ruling was stayed until 7 March 2023 pending appeal to the Supreme Court of the Netherlands. State Secretary Alexandra van Huffelen said the ruling should also apply to Sint Maarten "as all three [islands] have the same legal framework". The Curaçao Government announced its intention to file an appeal on 13 December, followed by the Aruba Government on 24 February.

On 12 July 2024 the Supreme Court of the Netherlands upheld the lower court ruling, effectively legalizing same-sex marriage in Aruba and Curaçao with immediate effect. Solicitor General Gerbrant Snijders had earlier advised the Supreme Court to preserve the earlier ruling of the Joint Court of Justice. Senator Miguel Mansur welcomed the court ruling, describing it as "an amazing victory which applies to Aruba, Curaçao, and by implication St. Maarten. Aruba progresses into a society with less discrimination, more tolerance, and acceptance." State Secretary for Kingdom Relations and Digitalisation Zsolt Szabó, on behalf of the Dutch Government, also welcomed the court ruling, saying, "This is very good news for the community. Of course the ruling still needs to be studied further, but I am happy to hear that we are one step closer – that everyone can simply marry the person he or she loves, regardless of gender." The ruling did not explicitly legalize same-sex marriage in Sint Maarten. Senator Melissa Gumbs told The Washington Blade that the ruling "could very well have some bearing on our situation here. I'm definitely looking into it. We're researching it to see what is the possibility, and also in touch with our friends in Aruba who are, of course, overjoyed with this ruling." Some religious groups said they were disappointed but "not surprised". In its ruling, the Supreme Court noted the religious objections of opponents of same-sex marriage, but stated that freedom of religion "does not go so far as imposing one's own religious norms and values on another."

Aruba
The opposition Accion 21 party introduced a bill to allow same-sex marriage to Parliament in June 2022. On 8 May 2024, the Parliament could not reach an agreement on a newly-submitted same-sex marriage bill, with ten MPs voting in favor and ten against. One MP, Shailiny Tromp-Lee, abstained from the vote citing the complexity of the issue. A second vote was held on June 19, with the same result, causing the bill to fail.

Curaçao
In September 2018, three LGBT rights organizations presented a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in Curaçao to the Vice President of Parliament, Giselle McWilliam. McWilliam applauded the action saying, "I think it's great. It shows that democracy is alive on Curaçao. That initiatives can come not only from the parliament or the government, but also from the people themselves. Everyone has the right to submit a bill, I am going to do everything to help this group, because they are also part of it." Prime Minister Eugene Rhuggenaath also welcomed the measure, saying that it "is now time to debate the issue", and that "exclusion and discrimination against the LGBT community affects human rights." On 4 June 2019, the bill was submitted to Parliament by members of the Partido MAN and the Real Alternative Party,  but it was withdrawn the following year due to lack of support.

In May 2023, MP Rennox Calmes introduced a bill to ban same-sex marriage in the Constitution of Curaçao. The bill would have required a two-thirds majority in the Parliament to become law.

Sint Maarten
Following the December 2022 court ruling that Aruba's and Curaçao's same-sex marriage bans were unconstitutional, Melissa Gumbs, a member of the Parliament of Sint Maarten, said her party was planning on introducing a same-sex marriage bill to Parliament, noting that "there is precedent now within the Caribbean part of the kingdom (of the Netherlands) that it's not right to withhold same-sex marriage rights from people."

Public opinion
Support for same-sex marriage in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten is significantly lower than in the country of the Netherlands. A 2019 Eurobarometer poll showed that 92% of people in the Netherlands proper thought same-sex marriage should be allowed throughout Europe, while 8% were opposed. For comparison, a 2021 Aruban poll showed that 49% of respondents supported registered partnerships for same-sex couples, and 46% supported same-sex marriage. Support was higher among young people (about 75% of people under the age of 30 expressed support), and those who had completed higher education.

Hugh J. Glenn

Hugh James Glenn (September 18, 1824 – February 17, 1883) was a prominent 19th-century physician, stockman, wheat farmer and politician in California. In 1879, he ran in the California gubernatorial election as the candidate of both the Democratic and the New Constitution parties but lost to Republican George C. Perkins. At the time of his death he was considered the largest wheat-grower in California. Glenn County, California is named after him.

Early life and education

Glenn was born near Staunton, Virginia, in 1824. He was the son of George Glenn (1802-1875) and Mary Gleave Anderson (1805-1845). His father came to Monroe County, Missouri in 1831 and settled in Paris, Missouri. Hugh went to school in Paris and was educated as a physician at McDowell's Medical College in St. Louis, Missouri. Glenn served with Colonel Alexander William Doniphan's Missouri Volunteers in the Mexican–American War, returning to St. Louis in 1847. He resumed his medical studies at Cooper Medical College, where he graduated with honors in 1849. He practiced in St. Louis for two years. He married Nancy Harrison Abernathy, daughter of Missouri politician James R. Abernathy, on March 15, 1849, in Monroe, Missouri.

On May 3, 1849, Glenn left Missouri to join the California Gold Rush, leaving with an ox team and wagon. He sold his gold claim and operated a livery stable in Sacramento, later selling it for a good profit. He returned to Missouri in 1852 with $5,000 and came back to California in 1853, bringing his family with him.

Ranching and political career

Glenn became a cattle rancher, and in 1868 moved to Jacinto, California, then in Colusa County. He bought 8000 acre on the north end of Rancho Jacinto. He continued to add to his holdings, until he had purchased the entire Rancho and also 6000 acre of Rancho Larkin’s Children. In all, he had 55000 acre, cultivating 6000 acre of them in grain, earning him the nickname of the "Wheat King" of California. He had his own machines and blacksmith shops, boring, turning and planing machines. He employed 50 men in seeding and 150 men in harvest. On August 8, 1879, he brought in 5,779 bushels of wheat in one day.

Peter French moved to Jacinto where he met and accepted employment as a horse breaker with Glenn. French was promoted to foreman. In 1872, Glenn sent French to Oregon with 1,200 head of Shorthorn cattle, where he bought land. In 1883, French married Glenn’s daughter, Ella Abernathy Glenn.

Glenn began his public career on the California State Board of Agriculture. In 1879, he ran in the California gubernatorial election as the candidate of both the Democratic and the New Constitution parties. He lost to Republican George C. Perkins.

Death
On February 17, 1883, Dr. Glenn was murdered on his ranch at Jacinto by Huram Miller, who worked for him as a bookkeeper. Miller was an alcoholic and Glenn finally struck him, after being verbally abused by the drunken employee. Miller brooded for several days, then shot Glenn in the head from ambush with a load of buckshot. Glenn was survived by his wife and three sons and one daughter. His remains were taken to Oakland for interment.

Peter French continued to manage the Oregon operation for the Glenn family, selling more cattle to help pay the family’s debts. In 1894, Glenn’s heirs decided to incorporate the French-Glenn partnership into the French-Glenn Livestock Company, making French the company president. The land was later sold in small parcels, a great part purchased by the Sacramento Valley Irrigation Company and subdivided later years.

Legacy
In 1891, Glenn County was created and named in honor of Hugh James Glenn, who purchased 8000 acre on the north end of Rancho Jacinto in 1867.

In 1908 more land was reported for sale: "The Glenn Rancho contains 86 square miles, embodying 55,000 acres, occupies a strip five miles wide and sixteen miles long on the west bank of the Sacramento River .... "

Yellow River (Iowa)

The Yellow River is a 53.5 mi tributary of the Mississippi River in northeastern Iowa. It originates in southwestern Winneshiek County and flows through southern Allamakee County, receiving tributaries from northern Clayton County, before joining the Mississippi near Marquette and Effigy Mounds National Monument.

Much of the river's course is very scenic, coursing between vegetated limestone cliffs. The watershed is located in northeastern Iowa's unglaciated Driftless Area. The catchment measures 154666 acre and is mainly state forest or farmland. Much of the region is quite rugged, and little urban development has encroached upon it.

Its beauty, lack of development, recreational potential and interesting wildlife habitats make it a candidate for development as a park. The state has developed Yellow River State Forest over time (the lavender parts of the map here). Effigy Mounds National Monument has also grown, either by direct purchase or from gifts.

From 1985 to 1992 he was an assistant professor in the UC Berkeley Computer Science Department, where he received the NSF Presidential Young Investigator and IBM Faculty Development awards. During this period he conducted several research projects:
 * FORMULA (Forth Music Language), a parallel programming language and runtime system for computer music based on Forth.
 * MOOD (Musical Object-Oriented Dialect), a parallel programming language and runtime system for computer music based on C++. A port for MS-DOS also exists.
 * DASH, a distributed operating system with support for digital audio and video.
 * Continuous Media File System (CMFS), a file system for digital audio and video
 * Comet, an I/O server for digital audio and video.

From 1992 to 1994 he worked at Sonic Solutions, where he developed Sonic System, the first distributed system for professional digital audio editing.

Inventions
In 1994 he invented "Virtual Reality Television", a television system allowing viewers to control their virtual position and orientation. He was awarded a patent for this invention in 1996.

In 1994 he developed one of the first systems for collaborative filtering, and developed a web site, rare.com, that provided movie recommendations based on the user's movie ratings.

From 1995 to 1998 he was chief technical officer of Tunes.com, where he developed web-based systems for music discovery based on collaborative filtering, acoustics, and other models.

In 1995 he joined David Gedye and Dan Werthimer in creating SETI@home, an early volunteer computing project. Anderson continues to direct SETI@home.

From 2000 to 2002, he served as CTO of United Devices, a company that developed software for distributed computing.

Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing
In 2002 he created the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing project, which develops an open-source software platform for volunteer computing. The project is funded by NSF and is based at the UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory. BOINC is used by about 100 projects, including SETI@home, Einstein@home, Rosetta@home, Climateprediction.net, and the IBM World Community Grid. It is used as a platform for several distributed applications in areas as diverse as mathematics, medicine, molecular biology, climatology, and astrophysics.

Anderson was involved in Stardust@home, which used 23,000 volunteers to identify interstellar dust particles via the Web – an approach called distributed thinking. In 2007 Anderson launched two new software projects: Bossa (middleware for distributed thinking), and Bolt (a framework for web-based training and education in the context of volunteer computing and distributed thinking).

Berkeley Open System for Skill Aggregation
The Berkeley Open System for Skill Aggregation (BOSSA) is a software framework for distributed thinking, using volunteers on the Internet to perform tasks that require human intelligence, knowledge, or cognitive skills.

List of municipalities in Rhode Island

Rhode Island is a state located in the Northeastern United States. According to the 2020 United States Census, Rhode Island is the 8th least populous state with inhabitants and the smallest by land area spanning 1033.81 sqmi of land. It is divided into 39 municipalities, including 8 cities and 31 towns, grouped into 5 historical counties that have no municipal functions as the state has no county level of government. The entire area of the state is incorporated; all Rhode Island residents live within the borders of a city or town though some communities within towns and cities are census-designated places.

Municipalities in Rhode Island can incorporate as a town or city by a special act of the state legislature and there is no minimum population requirement. Eight municipalities were re-incorporated as cities operating under a charter, while the other 31 remain as towns which perform similar services. Since Rhode Island has no county level of government, cities and towns provide services commonly performed by county governments in other states. The state's cities and towns may adopt one of four forms of government: council–manager, mayor–council, town council–town meeting, or administrator–council. The primary difference between these forms of government is how the chief executive is selected. The Council–manager system involves an elected council who exercise overall control of the local government and a chief executive termed city or town manager who is generally appointed by and responsible to the council for the administration of local policies. Council–manager systems may elect a mayor but they have no formal administrative functions with the potential exception of a degree of veto power. Mayor–council systems have a similarly elected council however the mayor is elected and yields administrative power. In the town council–town meeting system, there is no full-time chief executive.

The largest municipality by population in Rhode Island is the state capital of Providence, with 190,934 residents. The smallest municipality by population is New Shoreham on Block Island, with 1,410 year-round residents. The largest municipality by land area is Coventry which spans 59.05 mi2, while Central Falls is the smallest at 1.20 mi2. Rhode Island and Hawaii are the only two states in which all of the municipalities have a population greater than 1,000 people.
