"Unencyclopedic" Lucid Dreaming paragraph
Just wondering what specifically you thought was unencyclopedic about that paragraph you deleted. I had merged and reduced it from two earlier paragraphs and rewrote it some, thinking I had already purged it of unencyclopedic information. --Slac 01:49, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

SexPowerGod
Hi! If you feel uncomfortable having the building/room number of an IP posted on the SexPowerGod talk page, by all means remove it. It's hard not to come off as hostile when dealing with anonymous IPs, particularly when they make crazy edits. It's nice to have another, non-anonymous editor on the article.

The irony of all of this is that I hate SexPowerGod; I think it makes our school look terrible and is a waste of money. That's starting to come through on my call for consensus. We'll see what happens.

What brings you to Wikipedia? --Mgreenbe 09:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio
Hi there. You sent me the message: "Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the David Guetta article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! Mgcsinc 19:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)"

Thanks for informing me about the copyvio - but on a totally unrelated matter, I have actually been editing with this username since December 2005, therefore I think a "welcome to Wikipedia" is hardly suitable.

Take care. MaxCosta 03:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Redirect of Infernal (Warcraft)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Infernal (Warcraft), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Infernal (Warcraft) is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Infernal (Warcraft), please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. CSDWarnBot 15:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

There was a non-consensus AfD, so Prod is controversial. You'll need to use a second AfD, but I think you'll have objections unless you wait another few weeks. As for the result, one can never tell what AfD will do. DGG (talk) 21:09, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

My reply to your unsolicited comment
It is my talk page and I do not want to use it as a forum for public discussions. I will not reply to messages left on my talk page. If you leave a message there it will be removed. If I choose to reply, I will reply on your talk page. Inniverse (talk) 04:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:04, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Looking for Wikipedia Ambassadors
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian associated with Harvard. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge (including Harvard), which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.

If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

All about Greek Spam Problem
Πως από το ζαμπονάκι καταλήξαμε στην αυτόκλητη ανεπιθύμητη διαδικτυακή αλληλογραφία To Σπαμ (SPAM) είναι ένα ζαμπονάκι! Πρόκειται για μια κονσέρβα, για έναν μεζέ που μπορεί να μην έρχεται στη χώρα μας αλλά είναι αρκετά δημοφιλής σε κάποιες άλλες, κυρίως στην Αμερική (με τη Χαβάη να προηγείται, είναι η περιοχή με τη μεγαλύτερη κατ' άτομο κατανάλωση SPAM). Η λέξη SPAM είναι ένα αρκτικόλεξο, προήλθε δηλαδή από τα αρχικά των λέξεων Spiced Pork And Meat.

Η έδρα της εταιρείας Hormel, που δημιούργησε το SPAM το 1937, βρίσκεται στις ΗΠΑ. Στην αρχή η εταιρεία αντέδρασε έντονα στη χρησιμοποίηση της ονομασίας του προϊόντος της για το χαρακτηρισμό της ανεπιθύμητης εμπορικής αλληλογραφίας. Κάποια στιγμή κατάλαβε ότι ήταν τελείως ανεδαφική η προσπάθειά της να επιβάλει την απαγόρευση χρήσης της συγκεκριμένης λέξης, όταν αυτή είχε ήδη κυριαρχήσει σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο. Έτσι σήμερα έχει δεχθεί τη διάκριση ανάμεσα στο SPAM, με κεφαλαία γράμματα, που προσδιορίζει το προϊόν της και στο spam, με πεζά, όταν γίνεται αναφορά στην αυτόκλητη και ανεπιθύμητη εμπορική αλληλογραφία. Σπαμ (spam) είναι η διεθνής ονομασία των ανεπιθύμητων - αυτόκλητων διαφημιστικών e-mail. Πιο απλά, spam είναι όλη η ψηφιακή σαβούρα που καταφτάνει καθημερινά στο e-mail σας, προτείνοντάς σας διάφορα προϊόντα, "συνεργασίες" κάθε μορφής, πορνογραφικές σελίδες κ.λ.π.Τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά του spam είναι τα ακόλουθα:

δεν υπάρχει καμία προηγούμενη σχέση του παραλήπτη με τον αποστολέα του διαφημιστικού e-mail, δηλαδή δεν έχει προηγηθεί αγορά προϊόντος ή εκδήλωση της επιθυμίας του παραλήπτη για παραλαβή της διαφημιστικής ηλεκτρονικής αλληλογραφίας. Σημειώνεται ότι το χαρακτηριστικό αυτό αποτελεί σήμερα το βασικότερο στοιχείο για να χαρακτηριστεί ένα e-mail ως spam δεν υπάρχει η δυνατότητα της αυτόματης διαγραφής από τις λίστες των παραληπτών του αποστολέα, ή, ακόμα κι όταν αυτό συμβαίνει, λειτουργεί μόνο ως μέθοδος για επιβεβαίωση λειτουργίας της συγκεκριμένης ηλεκτρονικής διεύθυνσης στέλνεται με τη χρήση τεχνικών που αποκρύπτουν την ταυτότητα του αποστολέα δεν υπάρχει μια έγκυρη και λειτουργική διεύθυνση επικοινωνίας με τον αποστολέα του διαφημιστικού μηνύματος στέλνεται χωρίς διάκριση, με αυτοματοποιημένα μέσα περιλαμβάνει ή προωθεί παράνομο ή δυσάρεστο περιεχόμενο το περιεχόμενό του είναι ψευδές ή παραπλανητικό οι διευθύνσεις των παραληπτών έχουν αποκτηθεί με λογισμικό ανίχνευσης του παγκόσμιου ιστού για συλλογή e-mail διευθύνσεων ("αράχνες") ή έχουν αγοραστεί από εταιρείες που παράγουν CD με αυτό το περιεχόμενο (εκατομμύρια διευθύνσεις e-mail σε ένα CD, συνήθως έναντι πολύ μικρού κόστους) Spam (ή junk mail), είναι η αυτόκλητη-ανεπιθύμητη διαδικτυακή αλληλογραφία, που πήρε το όνομά της από το διάσημο πλέον ζαμπονάκι. Ο συσχετισμός βρίσκεται στο ότι, όπως με το κονσερβοποιημένο χοιρινό κρέας SPAM έτσι και με την ανεπιθύμητη ηλεκτρονική αλληλογραφία (spam) ό,τι και να κάνουμε δεν πρόκειται να ξεφύγουμε από την κατανάλωση μιας πολύ καλής δόσης. Το spamming για τους spammer αποτελεί τη μεγαλύτερη ανακάλυψη μετά τον τροχό κι αυτό γιατί μπορούν να κατακλύσουν ολόκληρη την υφήλιο με δισεκατομμύρια e-mail (spam-mail) μέσα σε ελάχιστο χρόνο, με ελάχιστα χρήματα! Με τον τρόπο αυτό, ακόμα κι αν ένα πολύ μικρό ποσοστό (πολύ κάτω του 1%) ανταποκριθεί στο κάλεσμά τους, τους αποφέρει τεράστια κέρδη, χωρίς ιδιαίτερη προσπάθεια.

Σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο οι οικιακοί χρήστες και οι επιχειρήσεις "καταναλώνουν" τόνους spam, δηλαδή τεράστιες ποσότητες ανεπιθύμητης διαφημιστικής αλληλογραφίας. Προϊόντα που υποτίθεται ότι μας είναι απίστευτα χρήσιμα, σε απίστευτες τιμές (από απίστευτους πωλητές), φαρμακευτικά σκευάσματα που υπόσχονται ριζικές θεραπείες διά πάσα νόσο, διαιτολογικά προϊόντα (χάνετε πολλά κιλά σε χρόνο dt), συσκευές που υπόσχονται επιμήκυνση αδικημένων από τη φύση μελών του ανδρικού κυρίως σώματος, βιβλία που έναντι του ελάχιστου κόστους αγοράς τους μας μαθαίνουν πώς να γίνουμε άμεσα οι νέοι μεγιστάνες του πλούτου, συμφέρουσες πυραμιδικές οικονομικές προτάσεις, ευτυχείς ανακοινώσεις ότι κερδίσατε 1 εκατομμύρια δολάρια σε μια κλήρωση που κατά βάθος ποτέ δεν συμμετείχατε, "αφρικανοί" (συνήθως νιγηριανοί) ή αφρικανοί που θέλουν μια μικρή βοήθεια από εσάς για να ξεπλύνουν εκατομμύρια δολάρια έναντι μιας πολύ καλής ανταμοιβής σας (απλά, σας ζητάνε τα στοιχεία της αστυνομικής σας ταυτότητας σε συνδυασμό με το νούμερο του τραπεζικού σας λογαριασμού), άτομα πονεμένα που σας εκλιπαρούν έστω και για ένα ευρώ (ή δολάριο, ή λίρα ή ό,τι άλλο έχετε ευχαρίστηση, στη μεγάλη ανάγκη δεν υπάρχουν νομισματικές διακρίσεις), πλημμυρίδα πορνογραφικών σελίδων που αποδεικνύουν ότι το κάμα σούτρα δεν ήταν παρά ένα έντυπο για παιδιά προσχολικής ηλικίας και ο Μαρκήσιος Ντε Σαντ ένας παρεξηγημένος ρομαντικός λογοτέχνης, λογισμικό σε πολύ καλές τιμές (προσφορά του Μαύρου Πητ το λογισμικό αυτό μπορεί είναι κλεμμένο ή -στην καλύτερη περίπτωση- ξεπερασμένο), και ό,τι άλλο μπορεί να βάλει ένας ανήσυχος ανθρώπινος νους και στην περίπτωσή μας το ευρηματικό μυαλό των ευφάνταστων spammer όπου γης.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:56, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.

 * This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:
 * Add below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Changing username.

Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Manchester
I suggest you look at Talk:Second city before you start up all this crap "again". G-Man 21:08, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

And I suggest you listen to consensus on the site instead of rushing off and doing your own thing. Why do you believe Birmingham's should be the only article referring to "second city" when so many people disagree with you? EarlyBird 21:12, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

By so many people do you mean the opinion poll of 1000 people carried out three years ago by Marketing Manchester, immidiatly after the Commonwealth Games. G-Man 21:23, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

No. I mean: 1. A poll carried out by MORI to the same standards as all opinion polls worldwide 2. Comments made by Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/news/s/144/144945_prescott_ranks_manchester_as_second_city.html

It's quite simple really. How does Birmingham have more claim to the title of second city than Manchester does? EarlyBird 21:30, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes that is the poll I was talking about, carried out three years ago, immidiately after the Commonwealth Games. What exactly does the opinion of John Prescott have to do with the price of fish?. The same article states that he also said Birmingham was the second city. Is this the best you can come up with. G-Man 21:52, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

The best I can come up with? How about PUBLIC OPINION, or does that not matter to you? Does public opinion come second to your opinion?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22UK%27s+Second+City%22&btnG=Search

The first Google page about the UK's second city. Which city happens to be mentioned in almost all of the links on that page?

Stop being immature and editing it. Your bias is clear. I am trying to follow public consensus in the articles to show that BOTH cities are considered by large numbers of people to be second city. You, however, seem to have a very biased outlook on things. EarlyBird 21:54, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok, I think this is a general controversy as you acknowledge, as the Talk:Manchester page will testify and as mentioned in that article you (EarlyBird) source above. I'd think it would be better if you came on to the talk page to discuss this - it's hard to discuss something properly in edit summaries. Glad to see discussion here at least. You live in Manc by the way? Thanks. Cormaggio 21:59, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Cormaggio. I'f go to this discussion if I knew it was restricted to there. Unfortunately I see it going on in multiple places and I see the fact it is disputed does not stop users like G-Man from editing it to claim otherwise. I am trying to edit whenever I can to use the word "some" in both articles. That way it gives no false indication of numbers and does not imply one has greater right to claim than the other. EarlyBird 22:09, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I think that wording should be fine, but note that this has been a bone of contention for yonks - see User:Khendon's exasperation at Talk:Manchester. And yes, discussions do tend to overlap over groups of pages - can you imagine what the people monitoring Israel-related pages must have to go through? But it's always better to go through a talk page to scan it for controversy when you're in the middle of a heated situation - even if it doesn't cool you down, it shows you that other people have covered similar terrain. Welcome (belatedly) to Wikipedia! Cormaggio 08:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Simple addition

 * whilst the city has a population of 1,741,961

K city of manchester is 1.7m but GM is 2.2m? so everybody lives in town and only 500k live in the big satellite towns that are 10 times the size of Manchester borough? the links are bullshit. seriously ad if we are going to make a GA then there just isn't any need for bullshit. Mik e 33 - t @ lk  21:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Ady seriously, 1.7m would probably include every M postal district not just Salford. in fact it probably includes some of the old manchester townships in OL. Manchester is Manchester it is either 441k or you have to restart the whole article. Even u have pushed notes saying that Old Trafford is now in Trafford borough! trafford was a Manchester township until 1974.

1.7m is cool but it doesn't help the article. Your a great editor and seriously if we ditch the nonsense we could get a GA. Ady please mate let us cut this one? Mik e 33 - t @ lk  22:18, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

The Tin Man (novel)

The Tin Man is a 1998 novel by American writer Dale Brown.

In the novel, Patrick McLanahan, a recurring character in Brown's books, returns from overseas conflict to his hometown, Sacramento, California. There he encounters an old enemy whose evil plot forces McLanahan to take a terrible chance as he employs experimental technology to make himself a human weapon. Using BERP armor, and (chiefly) nonlethal weapons, he attacks methamphetamine-producing biker gangs, after his brother (a rookie cop) is severely injured.

The chief technology is a high-tech battlesuit that utilizes the newly developed BERP armor. This stands for Ballistic Electro-Reactive Process and was developed by Doctor Jon Masters, another recurring character in the McLanahan series of books. This technology essentially harnesses electricity to instantly harden whatever surface it is applied to, in this case-the fabric of a combat suit. This allows it to stop bullets or other attacks as if the suit were made of steel. The only requirement is that the item being stopped must be moving at high speed. Jet thrusters in the boots also allow the wearer to jump hundreds of feet in a single leap, or to break a high fall.

In later novels of the McLanahan series, the men who use this battle armor are called Tin Men. These novels include Warrior Class, Wings of Fire, Air Battle Force, and Plan of Attack. In these later novels, other additions are made to the suit such as a powered exoskeleton, a magnetic railgun, targeting systems and so on.

Reception
Bill Roach, reviewing in the Virginian-Pilot, said the turn of hero McLanahan from hero military pilot to murdering vigilante was "too much of a change for a dependable, heroic character," and that the novel "lacks Brown's usual authority." Calvin Bass, reviewing for the Tulsa World, called the novel "an enthralling techno-adventure," and one of Brown's best works. Reviewer Rankin Armstrong in the Belfast News Letter (Northern Ireland) called the Tin Man "the ultimate warrior using cutting-edge technology." He praised Brown's "descriptive powers," and "his knowledge of military aircraft and sophisticated weaponry," and recommended the book for fans of military adventure. John Birmingham in The Sydney Morning Herald (Australia) praised the crime fighting hero for his kicking of "a whole heap of white supremacist butt," even though bystanders get killed and the hero gets "tagged as a violent psychopath." The Putnam hard cover edition reached number 28 on The New York Times Best Seller list in June, 1998. The Bantam paperback edition debuted at number 13 on The New York Times Best Seller List for paperback fiction in May, 1999.

The Lonesome Jubilee

The Lonesome Jubilee is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter John Cougar Mellencamp (credited as simply Mellencamp on pressings). The album was released by Mercury Records on August 24, 1987 (see 1987 in music). Four singles were released from the album, the first two in 1987 and the last two in 1988.

The album was one of Mellencamp's most successful worldwide, charting in ten countries. The album was most successful in Canada where it topped RPM magazine's Top Albums chart and became the artist's highest certified album by Music Canada (formerly the Canadian Recording Industry Association) becoming 6× platinum. In The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics poll for the year's best albums, The Lonesome Jubilee finished at No. 7.

"We were on the road for a long time after Scarecrow, so we were together a lot as a band," Mellencamp said in a 1987 Creem Magazine feature. "For the first time ever, we talked about the record before we started. We had a very distinct vision of what should be happening here. At one point, The Lonesome Jubilee was supposed to be a double album, but at least 10 of the songs I'd written just didn't stick together with the idea and the sound we had in mind. So I just put those songs on a shelf, and cut it back down to a single record. Now, in the past, it was always 'Let's make it up as we go along' – and we did make some of The Lonesome Jubilee up as we went along. But we had a very clear idea of what we wanted it to sound like, even before it was written, right through to the day it was mastered."

Background
On October 30, 1986 – during the period in which The Lonesome Jubilee was being recorded – Mellencamp's uncle Joe died of cancer at the age of 57, which greatly influenced the album.

While the album was being recorded, Riva Records had ceased to function, so Mellencamp moved to Mercury Records (which, like Riva, was distributed by PolyGram), which would continue to release material by Mellencamp until 1998.

Recording and production
The sessions for The Lonesome Jubilee took place at Mellencamp's Belmont Mall Studio in Belmont, Indiana from September 1986 to June 1987, a period of nine months. The sessions were produced by Mellencamp with Don Gehman and were engineered by Gehman and David Leonard.

The sound on the album was a departure from Mellencamp's previous albums and included many traditional folk and country instruments in order to make his audience aware of the "once-familiar social landscape" of folk music. The risk of making music counter to the mainstream of rock music paid off with the album's success.

Songwriting inspirations
Of "The Real Life," Mellencamp told Creem magazine in 1987: "When I sing about Jackson Jackson (in 'The Real Life') – unless you know what it's like to spend your whole life or the majority of your young adulthood doing what you're supposed to do, then you can't relate to it. Because some of these young guys are thinking, 'Well, I'm doing what I want to do' – but that's not true. They're doing what they're supposed to do. Jackson Jackson is based on my Uncle Jay. He said those exact words to me one time at the Red Lobster here in Bloomington. He and his wife got a divorce. She was 14 and he was 17 when they got married – and he said, 'Man, I have done exactly what I'm supposed to my whole life. I married this girl when she was 14 – I didn't love her. We had kids. We raised the kids. I stayed there. I worked every day pouring concrete. Now I'm in my 40s, and I want to do something for myself.' And I asked, 'Well, what do you have in mind?' He said, 'I don't know.' You can't be 21, though, and relate to that. I mean, I look back on my life now – and you look back on your life – and you realize that we hardly ever really get to do what we wanted to do. Suddenly, it's 17 turns 35 – and how can someone 21 understand that?"

Mellencamp said he was inspired by his daughter Teddi Jo to write "Rooty Toot Toot": "That song was a nursery rhyme that I wrote for her. Teddi Jo said, 'Dad, how come you never use my name in one of your songs?' My youngest daughter's name is Justice, so she said 'You used Justice, and you used Michelle' – because Michelle's middle name is Suzanne – 'so I want you to write me a special song.' So I wrote 'Rooty Toot Toot' as a nursery rhyme. It didn't even have music. I showed it to Larry (Crane) and he said, 'That's a good little, uplifting story' – so we arranged it into a song and put it on the record."

Cover art
The cover art for the album was photographed by Skeeter Hagler and featured Mellencamp sitting next to an older blue-collar working man. The photo shoot took place at the Midway Tavern in Elnora, Indiana. According to Casey Kasem on his American Top 40 broadcast for the week ending January 30th, 1988, Mellencamp paid $300 to rent the tavern for the photo shoot. The older working man seated next to Mellencamp at the bar is Woodrow "Woody" Baker (1914–2009), a welder recommended for the shoot by the tavern's bartender.

Richwoods High School

Richwoods High School is the most northern of the three regular public high schools in Peoria, Illinois, United States. Opened as a township high school in 1957, it was brought into Peoria Public Schools District 150 in the 1960s. Feeder middle schools are Mark Bills, Liberty Leadership, Rolling Acres, Von Steuben, and Reservoir Gifted.

History
Richwoods was originally the high school of Richwoods Township. The name of the school when it opened in 1957 was Richwoods Community High School. In the 1960s, the school was annexed to the city of Peoria, causing it to come under the purview of Peoria Public Schools (District 150). A lengthy legal battle ensued, and District 150 was required to allow students from the original school district to attend District 150 schools until Peoria Heights High School could be built to replace it.

Academics
Richwoods uses an unweighted grade point average system, and a weighted class-ranking system.

As of the 2007–2008 school year, Richwoods is making AYP for No Child Left Behind as a result of the PSAE (Prairie State Achievement Exam) results from the RHS Class of 2008.

International Baccalaureate Program
In 2005, the first class of International Baccalaureate students graduated from Richwoods High School. Students in the IB Diploma program must take three Higher Level courses from Biology, History, Mathematics and English, and have choices to their Standard Level Classes, including Mathematics, Social Anthropology, Film, Physics, Psychology, Music, and Art.

School hours
Regular Daily: 7:30 am to 2:30 pm Early Dismissal: 7:30 am to 1:30 pm Half Days: 7:30 am to 10:30 am

Activities
Richwoods has forensics, football, ultimate, and basketball programs, among others.

The school publishes one in-school newspaper, "The Shield". Also the school publishes the yearbook, "The Excalibur."

Marching / Concert Band
The band plays at four concerts a year, at three parades, and at the home football games. It also plays at the home games of the boys' basketball team. As of the 2019–2020 school year, the marching band participates in competitions.

Operation Snowball
Richwoods High School holds an Operation Snowball event annually. This event promotes awareness of substance abuse, mental health awareness, and healthy relationships. Recent past themes have included Candyland: "Life's Too Sweet to be a Dum-Dum" (2008) and Las Vegas: "Don't Gamble with your Life" (2007).

Plays and musicals
Twice a year, Richwoods High School students perform on-stage. In the fall, students perform a play: in 2005, The Bad Seed; in 2006, Peter Pan; in 2007, Arsenic and Old Lace; in 2008,Our Town; and in 2009 "The Miracle Worker". RHS produces musicals in the spring time: in 2004, Damn Yankees, in 2005, Guys and Dolls, in 2006, Fiddler on the Roof, in 2007, The Boy Friend, in 2008 Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, in 2009, Little Women, and in 2010, Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Madrigals
Every year, Richwoods has a madrigal dinner, performed in a traditional 15th-century style. Much of the singing is a cappella. Along with a core group of Madrigal Singers, there are other musical student groups which participate, including Ladies in Waiting, Men in Tights, a recorder ensemble, brass quintet, and a string quartet. As well as music, a variety of actors are involved in the madrigal dinners. There is usually a king and queen.

School dances
RHS hosts three dances for the entire school yearly: Homecoming, Vice Versa, and Prom. Homecoming involves:
 * Spirit Week with dress-up days for the whole school and Class Colors Day (freshmen: green; sophomores: white; juniors: blue; seniors: red).
 * Pep assembly. Part of the competition for the Spirit Stick and to encourage the football players for their game later that evening.
 * Assembly introducing the Homecoming Queen nominees. Since the whole school votes for the Homecoming Queen, the candidates are introduced during a second hour assembly.
 * Stunt Show involves the Olympics (three point shot contest, wheelbarrow race, tug-of-war) and a skit by each class. Each skit contains two dances by dancers from each respective class.
 * Homecoming Game: a home game that is usually well-attended.
 * Homecoming Dance takes place in Richwoods' terrazzo area (like a foyer) and lasts until 23:00.

Vice Versa is not as well attended as Homecoming, but there is a theme and the dress is based on that theme. Traditionally, girls asked the boys to Vice Versa, hence the name of the dance. Vice Versa involves:
 * Assembly introducing the Vice Versa King nominees during second hour. This assembly usually has more excitement because the candidates have on thematic dress.
 * Vice Versa Dance. Couples dress up according to the theme. Voting and crowning of the Vice Versa King occurs before the dance ends at 11:00PM.

Sports
The school colors are forest green, white, and gray and their mascot is the Knight.

Richwoods is a member of the Big Twelve League of the Illinois High School Association.

The Lady Knights basketball team won the Class 3A State Championship for the 2008–09 season. They also won the Class AA State Championship in 2005.

Willie Young (footballer, born 1951)

William David Young (born 25 November 1951) is a Scottish former footballer. Playing as a defender, he featured for Aberdeen, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Norwich City, Brighton & Hove Albion and Darlington throughout his career.

Club career
A large, physically intimidating centre back from Heriot near Edinburgh, Young attended Ross High School in Tranent. Nicknamed "Big Willie", he first played professionally for Aberdeen, all in all making 187 appearances for the Dons between 1970 and 1975. He was signed by Tottenham Hotspur in September 1975, and while playing under Terry Neill made 64 appearances for Spurs in two seasons. In March 1977, Young once again signed for manager Neill so as to link up at Highbury with Spurs' arch-rivals Arsenal.

Young immediately became a regular in the Arsenal first team, and played in all of the Gunners' trio of FA Cup finals; after losing to Ipswich Town in 1978, Young was on the winning side the following year, with a 3–2 defeat of Manchester United. Young was a runner up in the 1980 FA Cup Final, where he made an infamous tackle on West Ham United's Paul Allen and also a runner up in the 1980 European Cup Winners' Cup Final.

Young continued to be Arsenal's first choice centre back until the 1981–82 season, when he lost his place to Chris Whyte. Having played 237 times and scoring 19 goals for Arsenal, the 30-year-old Young then joined Nottingham Forest in December 1981 for £50,000, and played 59 times over two seasons there.

In 1983, he joined Norwich City, but with injuries dogging him, he failed to secure a regular place in the side. He then had short spells at Brighton and Hove, followed by Darlington before his retirement from the game in November 1984.

International career
He was capped 5 times, scoring one goal for Scotland's U23s. Young never played a full international for Scotland having been banned for life after an incident in a Copenhagen nightclub in 1975.

Personal life
As a player at Aberdeen, Young worked on oil rigs during the summer to top up his earnings. He is married to Lynda; they have three children. After retiring from football he spent 19 years running a pub called Bramcote Manor near Nottingham, and then bought kennels in Bottesford, Leicestershire.

Brian Lara International Cricket 2005

Brian Lara International Cricket 2005, known as Ricky Ponting Cricket in Australia and New Zealand, is a cricket video game from Codemasters, available on Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Windows platforms, released on 21 July 2005, which was the first day of the 2005 Ashes series. The game is followed by Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 (Ricky Ponting International Cricket 2007 in Australia and New Zealand and Yuvraj Singh International Cricket in India).

Details
This game is the follow-up to Brian Lara Cricket '99 (also known as Shane Warne Cricket '99 in Australia and New Zealand). It contains the 2003 Cricket World Cup in Africa and the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy. These two competitions are licensed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and contain official player names, faces, kits, badges and sponsors. All other modes are unofficial as the rights for these belong to EA Sports and therefore some players and kits are made up; for example Graham Thorpe becomes "G Thrip" and Shane Warne becomes "S Worde". The only correct names in these modes are Brian Lara himself, (shown as "B Lara"), and Australian Captain Ricky Ponting (similarly shown as R Ponting). The game is also first to include licensed bats such as the Kookaburra Diablo and the GM Purist. The game takes the perspective of the normal cricket TV coverage, other views and displays in the game also try to emulate TV coverage of cricket, for example Hawk-Eye, an electronic system used to track cricket balls as they are bowled is featured in the game.

Game modes
There are a few types of cricket that can be played in the game. Test match, Test series, One Day match, World Cup, ICC Champion's Trophy and practice mode. Along with the types of cricket there are several difficulty settings. Slog mode, village, county and test. With each difficulty bowling and batting decreases in ease. The game also offers the player to construct their own team from cricketers already in the game, and to construct their own "Career Players" who gain experience with each match. There is also a "Classic XI" mode, which has famous cricketers of the past such as W.G. Grace, Imran Khan and Jim Laker.

Challenges
There are also a challenge mode in the game, where the player can take on cricketing challenges based on notable cricket matches from the past. The player can either recreate or rewrite history, depending on the team they choose to play as. These include such matches as The birth of The Ashes, the 1933 Bodyline test match, Garfield Sobers' six sixes, and the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup final. There are 10 challenges in total.

Reaction and criticism
Reaction from critics was very good with ratings averaging around 7.5 out of 10.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sandro1988. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sandro1988~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Character large object

A Character Large OBject (or CLOB) is part of the SQL:1999 standard data types. It is a collection of character data in a database management system, usually stored in a separate location that is referenced in the table itself. Oracle and IBM Db2 provide a construct explicitly named CLOB, and the majority of other database systems support some form of the concept, often labeled as text, memo or long character fields.

CLOBs usually have very high size-limits, of the order of gigabytes. The tradeoff for the capacity is usually limited access methods. In particular, some database systems limit certain SQL clauses and/or functions, such as LIKE or SUBSTRING from being used on CLOBs. Those that permit such operations may perform them very slowly.

Alternative methods of accessing the data are often provided, including means of extracting or inserting ranges of data from the CLOB.

Database systems exhibit variations in their storage patterns for CLOBs. Certain systems consistently store CLOBs as references to external data, residing outside the table. In contrast, some systems initially store small CLOBs within the table itself, but switch their storage approach when the data size surpasses a specific threshold. Additionally, certain systems offer configurable options to adapt their behavior.

Implementations
PostgreSQL 15.0: unsupported but it can be easily defined as a synonym to the text type with:

MariaDB 10.8: supported

MySQL 8.0: support unknown. There used to be a CLOB mentioned in the manual but the data type is no longer mentioned in later manuals.

Mimer SQL 11.0: supported.

Shakes the Clown

Shakes the Clown is a 1991 American black comedy film directed and written by Bobcat Goldthwait, who performs the title role. It also features Julie Brown, Blake Clark, Paul Dooley, Kathy Griffin, Florence Henderson, Tom Kenny, Adam Sandler, Scott Herriott, LaWanda Page, Jack Gallagher, and a cameo by Robin Williams as Mime Jerry using the pseudonym "Marty Fromage".

The film is a satire of performance art and portrays different communities of clowns and other performers as clannish, rivalrous subcultures obsessed with precedence and status. Goldthwait made the film as a satire of the dysfunctional standup comedy circuit at the time he was first starting out as an entertainer. When the film was first released, it was widely panned, but in recent years, reaction has become more favorable, largely due to how the film handled the serious topic of alcoholism. Shakes the Clown has since become a cult classic.

Plot
In the fictional town of Palukaville, Shakes is a good natured but depressed and alcoholic birthday-party clown. After his father died, Shakes was raised by his father's friend, Owen Cheese, who gave Shakes his job as a clown and owns the local clown bar, the Twisted Balloon. Shakes is excited because he auditioned to be the host of a children's clown show on television called the Big Time Cartoon Circus, after its original host, Peppy, was fired for sexual harassment. Shakes falls deeper into his depression when he learns that he has been passed over for the position in favor of Binky, a cocaine-addicted clown who is a neurotic and vindictive sexual predator and psychopath.

Shakes's clown friends, Dink and Stenchy are concerned that he drinks too much and often encourage him to quit. On top of that, his alcoholism is damaging his relationship with his girlfriend Judy, a waitress in the Twisted Balloon and an aspiring professional bowler. Shakes continually denies the extent of his alcoholism until Cheese finally orders Shakes to sober up, or be fired. Shakes wants to make his father figure proud and is able to get through alcohol withdrawals, and for a time, seems to be doing well. However, Shakes suffers a relapse at a birthday party and trashes the house in a drunken rampage until he is knocked out by the child's mother.

Shakes returns to the bar later that night, where Cheese angrily fires him for upsetting the party guests. Ashamed and heavily intoxicated, Shakes goes into the back room and passes out. Judy, Dink and Stenchy are able to convince Cheese to give Shakes another chance, and when he attempts to find Shakes, he instead comes across Binky, his sad clown friends, HoHo and Boots, and some rodeo clowns, Ty and Randi, doing cocaine. Cheese is angered that they would be selling and doing drugs in his bar, and a panicked Binky beats him to death with Shakes' juggling club in a fit of rage. Shocked, Binky frames Shakes for the murder.

Shakes goes on the run. Convinced of his innocence, Judy, Dink and Stenchy decide to help Shakes clear his name. Until he can find the truth, Shakes goes into hiding, posing as a hated mime in a class taught by the domineering Jerry the Mime. Shakes is concerned deep down that he may have actually committed the murder while blacked out and forgot. Later, Shakes, Dink and Stenchy go to a rodeo clown bar called the Broken Saddle, where they learn from the rodeo clowns that Cheese was actually murdered by Binky. Meanwhile, Binky attempts to rape Judy, who again rebuffs his advances. Binky again gets nervous and accidentally admits to Cheese's murder. Binky knows that he cannot let Judy leave with this information, so he kidnaps her and takes her to the studio where he attempts to kill her live on the air with throwing knives to make it look like an accident.

The rodeo clowns are arrested for their involvement, and Shakes, Dink and Stenchy fight Boots and HoHo, which ends with one of the clowns shooting Shakes. Shakes survives, as his flask stopped the bullet. Shakes, Dink and Stenchy arrive at the studio and fight Binky just in time to save Judy, and Binky is arrested for his crimes. Grateful that he saved her life, Judy gets back together with Shakes, and he promises her that he will stop drinking. Some time passes, and Shakes is shown attending an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, sharing with the others that he is still sober and is proud of his accomplishment. With Binky in jail, Shakes is now the new host of the TV show, which proves to be a big hit with children. Shakes, Dink and Stenchy are the stars of the show and entertain the audience by chasing Jerry the Mime.

Reception
Shakes the Clown was not a financial success, earning an estimated $115,103 in ticket sales against an estimated budget of $1.4 million.

Critical reaction to the movie was mixed: Leonard Maltin gave it his lowest rating, while Betsy Sherman of The Boston Globe called it "the Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies". Roger Ebert gave the film two out of four stars, writing that while some isolated scenes were "very funny" the plot was scattered and the performances often seemed under-rehearsed. The film has a 43% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 21 reviews, with the consensus; "Shakes the Clown has a handful of memorable moments, but they're scattered in a movie whose best ideas were left undeveloped on their way to the screen."

The film was nominated for Worst Picture at the 1991 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards but lost to Nothing but Trouble.

In an interview with Conan O'Brien, Goldthwait revealed that Martin Scorsese had defended the movie from detractors. When a film critic derided the movie in order to make a point about good and bad movies, Scorsese revealed, "I like Shakes the Clown. Haven't you heard? It's the Citizen Kane of Alcoholic Clown Movies!"

In popular culture

 * A sample from this movie was used in the song "Interloper" by the heavy metal band Slipknot.
 * The song "Binky the Doormat" by R.E.M., from the album New Adventures in Hi-Fi, is titled after a supporting character of this movie.
 * In the song "Daddy Took Me to the Zoo (Theme from Dads)" by The Bogmen the movie is referenced in the line "We ended late with Shakes The Clown."

Istihsan

Istiḥsan (Arabic: ) is an Arabic term for juristic discretion. In its literal sense it means "to consider something good". Muslim scholars may use it to express their preference for particular judgements in Islamic law over other possibilities. It is one of the principles of legal thought underlying scholarly interpretation or ijtihad.

A number of disputes existed amongst the classical jurists over this principle with the Hanafi school of jurisprudence and its jurists (fuqahah) adopting this as a secondary source. It is not the same thing as istislah, which plays a prominent part in other schools, including Maliki school, or istihlal, which is a derisive term for deeming something forbidden as permissible.

Etymology
Istiḥsan (استحسان ) is an Arabic word derived from the word al-husn (الحسن) which means good which is the opposite meaning of al-qubh (القبح) which means bad. The word istiḥsan is used to express "decorating or improving or considering something good". It also applies to mean something towards which one is inclined or which one prefers, even if it is not approved by others. Technically it has been defined in several ways by Fuqaha (Islamic jurists):
 * Bazdawi defines it as moving away from the implications of an analogy to an analogy that is stronger than it.
 * Al-Halwani defines it as giving up an analogy for a stronger evidence from the Quran, Sunnah or ijma.
 * The Maliki jurist, Abu Bakr Ibn al-Arabi defines it as sacrificing some of the implications of an evidence by way of exception.
 * Al-Karkhi defines Istihsan as follows: "Istihsan is when one takes a decision on a certain case different from that on which similar cases have been decided on the basis of its precedents, for a reason which is stronger than one found in similar cases and which requires departure from those cases."

Types of Istihsan
A number of categorisations have been employed by the jurists:
 * Istihsan through the text (Nass)
 * Istihsan on the basis of consensus (Ijma)
 * Istihsan on the basis of what is good (Ma'ruf)
 * Istihsan on the basis of necessity (Darurah)
 * Istihsan on the basis of benefit (Maslahah)
 * Istihsan on the basis of analogy (Qiyas)

Examples of Istihsan
The following comprise classical examples for this principle:
 * Abu Hanifah stated that the one who eats out of forgetfulness whilst fasting should repeat the fast - however he moves away from this by the evidence of a narration that allows the fast to stand.
 * Analogy requires that the manufacturing contract with advance payment be prohibited on the basis of analogy - however this is made permissible according to ijma.
 * Analogy requires that pure water be used for ablution so wells in which dirt or carcasses of animals have fallen would be prohibited for use according to strict analogy. Necessity exceptionalises this and permits the use of this water provided formal cleaning methods are applied first.

Criticisms
Al-Shafi'i viewed the practice of juristic preference as a heretical usurping God's sole right as the legislator of Islamic law. It has been alleged that this criticism revolves more around the linguistic meaning of the term rather than its technical meaning, though modern scholarship regards Shafi'is comments as a direct criticism of the technical meaning. Malik ibn Anas is noted to have been asked about binding divorce. When he delivered his response, a disciple of his quickly reached for a tablet to make note of this ruling. Upon realizing what his disciple was doing, Malik asked him to stop, remarking that his opinion could change before nightfall.

Sarakhsi points out that some jurists have criticised Istihsan on the grounds that the analogy is being given up for personal opinion, something prohibited in Islam. He refutes this understanding as incomprehensible, as no jurist would give up an authority for something that lacked evidence.

Cherie Johnson

Cherie Johnson (born November 21, 1975) is an American actress, writer, film producer, and author. She is known for her roles on Punky Brewster as Punky's best friend Cherie and Family Matters, where she played Laura Winslow's best friend Maxine Johnson for eight seasons (1990–1998).

In 2009, she wrote, starred in, and produced the independent film I Do... I Did!, playing Vivian. Johnson has so far produced eight films. In 2010, she made writer debut when she released her book Around The World Twice. In 2011, she released her second, writing, Two Different Walks Of Life A Celebrity and Average Housewife. Her third novel Peaches and Cream is available. Her book Stupid Guys Diary was released in August 2013.

Background and career
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Johnson is of mixed African-American and Puerto Rican heritage. Johnson's beginnings in show business are attributed to her maternal uncle, David W. Duclon, a successful screenwriter and TV producer, who was known for his work on Happy Days in the 1970s. Duclon encouraged his niece's desire to act, and secured her an audition. In 1984, after two seasons as executive producer of NBC's Silver Spoons, Duclon successfully pitched a new pilot to the network about an orphaned young girl who is taken in by a curmudgeonly older man. The concept won the approval of NBC programming chief Brandon Tartikoff, who named the titular character, and series, Punky Brewster (after a girl he had known in his youth). Johnson was cast by NBC in the role of Punky's (Soleil Moon Frye) best friend, the character modeled and named after herself. Punky Brewster was an immediate success among young audiences, and Johnson continued as the fictional Cherie throughout the series' run (1984–86 on NBC, and 1987–88 in first-run syndication).

In 1990, Johnson began playing Maxine "Max" Johnson, the best friend of Laura Winslow (Kellie Shanygne Williams) on Family Matters, appearing in the recurring role until the series' end in 1998. Duclon was again her employer, as he served as one of the executive producers of Family Matters during Johnson's run on the show. In addition to her starring roles, Johnson has made guest appearances on The Parkers, and voiced a guest role on the Disney Channel animated series The Proud Family. She has also appeared on Days of Our Lives. In the early 2000s, Johnson began producing films. In 2009, she wrote, starred in, and produced the film I Do... I Did!. In 2010, she starred in many films Lights Out, Nobody Smiling and Guardian of Eden. She then signed on to appear in the romantic film Fanaddict, which was shot in 2011 and is slated for release later in 2013.

In 2020, NBC confirmed a 10-episode revival of Punky Brewster on its Peacock streaming service. Soleil Moon Frye and Johnson reprised their roles.

Writer
Her first novel, Around The World Twice, was released August 10, 2010. On April 14, 2011, Johnson also released a poetry book with her I Do...I Did! co-writer, entitled Two Different Walks of Life. Her second novel was Peaches and Cream, and her book of diary entries Stupid Guys Diary was released August 2014. Little Cherie Dresses Herself, a children's book, was released 2016. Writing has become Johnson's second career choice; she is also the assistant editor of Fever magazine and was formerly the executive director for Dimez magazine, and was contributing writer for Temptation magazine and Glam Couture magazine, where she did a monthly article titled "Cherie Picking". In 2016, she accepted a position at Fever magazine.

Personal life
Johnson joined Shadow Play Entertainment's literacy campaign, called "Take Time to Read", as the national spokesperson, sharing her thoughts on why reading is so important no matter what career people choose. She has said that her favorite artists are Prince and Dr. Dre.
