Talk:Wart (character)

Picture?
This article needs a picture. --RealWingus 04:12, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Name Change
I changed the name because the Wart (Super Mario Bros.2) name change confused everybody because all the links have the old name. The 14:16, 24 August 2005 (BST)

Wario?
Where the article states:

"As the game progresses, however, Mario and his friends see nothing of Wart until the final room. There, Wario challenges Mario — or Luigi or Toad or Peach — by moving back and forth on his small platform, occasionally stopping to spew forth bubbles that can cause damage."

Shouldn't Wario be Wart?

Glitch13 21:49, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes. Kidicarus222 23:26, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Tomatoes?
I'd swear you can find tomatoes at some earlier point in the game...Thanos6 06:52, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Nope. Each level has its own signature big vegetable. One, three and five: big white turnips. Two and six: pumpkins. Four: carrots. Seven: more Asian-looking turnips (though I think they're onions). The tomatoes and one other random vegetable show up in the Wart room only. Kidicarus222 08:38, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Pumpkins! That was it.  I was getting the pumpkins confused with tomatoes.  Thanks. Thanos6 08:42, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

"King" Wart?
Um, who decided to change the name to King Wart? The character wears a crown, sure, but never has the character ever been popualrly known as "King Wart." "Wart" should do just fine, even if is has to be supplemented with "(Nintendo)" to differentiate it from the regular wart. Unless anyone objects, I'd like to change it back. Kidicarus222 05:24, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. The article was moved by user Zachkudrna18@yahoo.com without discussing it on the talk page first. Mushroom 09:38, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I moved it back. It's now "Wart (Nintendo)", without any mention of that "King Wart" crap. Kidicarus222 04:20, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

"Neglected Mario Characters" section
Does anybody else think this is way too long and detailed for an appearance in a web comic? I say cut the section down to a sentence explaining that Wart appears in the comic. Kidicarus222 00:25, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. -- DocSigma 19:21, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

rise of the mushroom kingdom
This part of the article should be deleted, i dont think the creator would want this on wikipedia. Isyou 02:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, the article itself is gone. Keep fanart and the real story seperate. OBEY STARMAN 18:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

British only?
I changed the European reference to Western, since SMB2 was the same in both Europe and America. I also rearranged the references to Doki Doki Panic.

What does this say?
This is Wart's profile in the Doki Doki Panic manual. I don't read Japanese, but I'm pretty sure that his name is different than the one on Wikipedia; http://www.subphylumclothing.com/ebay/182/IMG_3879.jpg 208.101.136.230 21:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Mamu.

That's what Wart's JP name has always been. Angry Sun 21:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Notability?
Is this really all that notable? He only appeared is one game. Even Tatanga is more notable then Wart! Daffy Duck 555 (talk) 20:35, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. No; read the article, I guess. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 23:06, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

I read it. It stil doesn't seem that notable. Daffy Duck 555 (talk) 15:58, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Notability, on Wikipedia, is significant coverage by reliable, third party sources. The article is in pretty bad shape, but the reception does have a number of third party sources. However, it could also be argued that the sources don't provide significant coverage, but rather just some trivial passing mentions. Anyways, if you want to pursue deletion, see how to do so at WP:AFD. I feel like it could go either way. Sergecross73   msg me   17:02, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
 * If anyone has access to older Super Mario Bros. 2 reviews, I expect that the section could be fleshed out. Reception seems fine to me as it is, though, as the bits there are consist of actual opinions on Wart rather than just mentions that he exists. Tezero (talk) 17:41, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
 * And that's why I've never nominated it myself, because the sources are probably out there. I don't think its sufficient now, but if anyone did some searching, it could be. Sadly, I "cleaned up" the article like 3 years ago and very little has been done to improve it since... Sergecross73   msg me   17:47, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I think this article topic is a candidate for merge (once the other stuff dies down). The secondary sources are largely used as trivia and the few remaining actual points of reception make it a candidate for merge to either a list of characters or to the SMB2 article. Ping me if I forget. czar ♔  16:52, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I went through and cleaned it up a bit last week, and now there's even less of substance. While I was uncertain about deletion, I forgot it had such an obvious merge target. It'd be easy to pare down what little is here into a list entry... Sergecross73   msg me   21:38, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe the in-universe might be merged into the list and the reception can be moved to the legacy section of SMB2(?) Gabriel Yuji (talk) 01:47, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd be fine with that, or having a source or two of the reception in the character list, kind of like a closing comment on him or something. Either way. Sergecross73   msg me   02:24, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Any final objections to a merge along the lines of what GY suggested? czar ♔  13:58, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Still support it. This article has had years to get better, and never seems to see any progress besides me trimming the garbage back out... Sergecross73   msg me   14:10, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Support the merge as well. Satellizer   (´ ･ ω ･ `)  12:00, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Not sure if you are stil discussing it but I support it too. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 02:33, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I just don't understand what you guys are even talking about, sorry. :) It seems to be just another aimless pastime, a deletionist ultimatum.  Some kind of anxiety that nobody else is writing somebody's pet article for them (ha), or that it didn't write itself yet?  What did I miss, in terms of links to how policy directs this course of action?   just said he is aware of the fact that this already-substantial and clearly notable subject probably has a further potential of available sources that simply haven't been located and tapped yet. He definitively answered the original lazy question of WP:N; so how would deletionism not just be a declaration of the failure of the task force? So I don't know if I missed something but I just don't see how that results in any new facts.  What exactly is the problem; what consequence is the clock supposedly ticking down to; why does this article's potential need to be euthenized; and what exactly is the proposed content for merging? As in, someone needs to write it first, while factually proving why they wasted the time doing that rather than improving this. It would be nice to also clearly delineate where the blatant deletionism stops.  Why not hold ultimatums over any number of others? How about if each further post requires the finding and posting of another source about Wart? ;-) lol Ha ha, only serious. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 02:51, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I wouldn't call it "deletionist" anything, most everyone is calling for a "Merge" here. And I think that's what you may be missing - sometimes, if there's something that may be notable, but there's not very much as far as sources/content go, it's allowable to merge it. I wouldn't complain about time restraints either, this discussion started 9 months ago, and I'm pretty sure I cleaned up the article 2-3 years ago, and no one's done much to improve it in the way of adding content since either events. (We've cleaned it up, but haven't really added anything.) As I said last April, I could go either way. On one hand, there's probably more sources out there, so I haven't personally merged it yet (Just as I treat most SNES/Sega Genesis game articles that haven't seen a release since the 90s - its hard to find soures.) On the other hand, its looked like garbage for years, and will likely continue to until more sources are found, which has been a slow process. Sergecross73   msg me  03:48, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry to differ, sir, but you have repeatedly said in this thread that you want to gratuitously delete a lot of its content and delete the article (that's what a merge does), while repeatedly simultaneously saying that you don't. Most of the wikitext would be gone. And not only for literally no reason, but also contrary to encyclopedic goals like WP:N. That's called deletionism, by definition.  I'm just speaking logically here. And thus, it's called a self-defeating prophecy—an officially declared task force failure (which is like dividing by zero).  This is not how people are to be communicated with, organized, or motivated. Furthermore, the article doesn't in any way whatsoever look like garbage anymore, thanks to us for having fixed it.  It looks great for a class C, already with art and a history, and all the budding limbs of new potential branches (TV shows, comics, etc); and more than the approximately three reliable sources needed in order to have justified the creation of a new article from scratch.  Even if it did still look bad after you and I cleaned it up, nobody has ever actually defined what that means.  Other than finite time, knowledge, and volunteerism, there is literally is no problem.  Hooray!  Congratulations, us! — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 04:01, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * We're talking about a 6K byte article here - it's barely beyond stub class. If you actually read the content, the article's "History" says very little beyond saying "He's from this game, he was the bad guy, and here's some other places he had very minor cameos" - and that's largely unsourced. Then there's the reception section - a few passing comments about him that say little more than "trippy", "hungry" and "obscure". It's barely worthwhile commentary, let alone significant coverage. There's very little to be lost here in its current state, and honestly not much would even have to be trimmed were he to be merged to the Mario character list. Sergecross73   msg me  04:18, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I see! So that particular glass is half empty. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 16:31, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Considering there was pretty much a consensus to merge it 9 months ago, but no one's done it, seems more like a "half full glass" type scenario - as in, it's amazing its still here at all. Either that or there's some serious apathy about it. You've been the only person to voice any sort of support in keeping it. You don't have to worry about me personally merging it, though I certainly wouldn't/couldn't blame anyone else for doing it. The consensus is there and the content/sourcing is weak.

No mention in the article of a Trinidadian being on board that deadly flight. My uncle Stanley Frederick was left out. Please update that information 2803:1500:E02:A5ED:79A6:3422:B1F8:55FB (talk) 02:56, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You are perfectly at liberty to edit the article yourself if you wish, though you may get an objection if you don't provide a citation (which would be churlish, under the circumstances, IMHO). It is true that the Guardian article cited only accounts for 111 of the 112 passenger nationalities, and there is indeed a Mr S P Frederick listed as a passenger in the investigation report (though that doesn't quote any nationalities).  Go for it!  DaveReidUK (talk) 07:00, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

VfD results
This article was nominated for deletion. The result was keep. For details, please see Votes for deletion/Manlike Woman the Indian prophetess of the Upper Columbia River. -- BD2412 talk 04:19, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Franklin?
Re this:
 * ''Thompson never gives the "Woman that carried a Bow and Arrows and had a Wife" any kind of name. It was Sir John Franklin who refers to her as "the Manlike Woman" in his Narrative of a Second Expedition to the Shores of the Polar Sea (1928), and suggests the label was one given to her by the native people she influenced. Since the lack of a name contributes to obscurity, "Manlike Woman" is pressed into service, here, as the best guess available. It also has the virtue of being shorter than Thompson's "Woman that carried a Bow and Arrows and had a Wife"

Where did Franklin meet her? I've never heard of him coming anyway near the region; is the assumption here that another "Man-Like Woman" he'd met in the Arctic was the same person? Could she have made it to Churchill (did he call in at Churchill?). Clarification please.Skookum1 (talk) 04:59, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

gender politics applied here is WRONG
I removed the imposition of male pronouns, which made for some weird language..."he...[had a reputation] as a prophetess" for one. Historical sources override bad interpretations of Wikipedia policy, I removed the inline comment claiming that nobody should change what has been imposed by modern abuse of language. The impositions of "him" and "he" and "his" were not even consistent within sentences, never mind with the actual source texts. Sources speak of her as female; it is NOT Wikipedia's job to rewrite history based on modern gender/language politics. To do so is fringe politics and a fringe theory.Skookum1 (talk) 16:23, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

More references
This article has been mentioned at Talk:Transgender history as a good candidate for inclusion at Transgender history, but the poor state of sourcing here is blocking that. Any contributions to improving the referencing at this article which would be much appreciated. Mathglot (talk) 01:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

 * I had a go at revising the article a bit; basically, I wrote a very short bio in a sandbox based on references, and then incorporated it into this article, merging redundant bits and -tagging the parts of this article that had no inline references and were not reflected in the references I looked at. I may try to expand it / reference more of the existing article later. -sche (talk) 23:57, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Snakehead (fish)

The snakeheads are members of the freshwater perciform fish family Channidae, native to parts of Africa and Asia. These elongated, predatory fish are distinguished by their long dorsal fins, large mouths, and shiny teeth. They breathe air with gills, which allows them to migrate short distances over land. They have suprabranchial organs, which are primitive forms of labyrinth organs, that develop when they grow older. The two extant genera are Channa in Asia and Parachanna in Africa, consisting of more than 50 species.

They are valuable as a food source and have become notorious as an intentionally released invasive species. These fish have been kept as pets but as they get larger, people let them go into ponds, lakes, and rivers, making these fish invasive.

Description
The various species of snakeheads differ greatly in size; dwarf snakeheads, such as Channa orientalis, do not surpass 25 cm in length. Most other snakeheads reach between 30 and 90 cm. Five species (C. argus, C. barca, C. marulius, C. micropeltes, and C. striata) can reach 1 m or more.

Snakeheads are thrust-feeders that consume plankton, aquatic insects, and mollusks when small. As adults, they mostly feed on other fish (such as carp) or on frogs. In rare cases, small rodents such as rats are eaten.

History
The Channidae are well represented in the fossil record and known from numerous specimens. They likely originated in the south Himalayan region of the Indian subcontinent (modern-day northern India and eastern Pakistan) at least 50 million years ago (Mya), during the Early Eocene epoch. Two of the earliest known species, Eochanna chorlakkiensis and Anchichanna kuldanensis, have both been found in the Middle Eocene of Pakistan. By 17 Mya, during the Early Miocene, Channidae had spread into western and central Eurasia, and by 8 Mya, during the late Tortonian, they existed throughout Africa and East Asia. As Channidae are adapted to climates of high precipitation with mean temperatures of 20 °C (68 °F), their migrations into Europe and Asia correspond to the development of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, which increased air humidity, and the intensification of the East Asian monsoon. Both weather patterns emerged due to greater vertical growth of the Alps, Pyrenees, and Himalayas, which affected Eurasian climatic patterns.

Ecological concerns
Snakeheads can become invasive species and cause ecological damage because, in many areas to which they are not native, the absence of natural enemies makes them an apex predator. Not only can they breathe air, but they can also survive on land for up to four days, provided they are wet, and are known to migrate up to 400 m (1/4 mi) on wet land to other bodies of water by wriggling with their bodies and fins. National Geographic has referred to snakeheads as "fishzilla" and the National Geographic Channel reported the "northern snakehead reaches sexual maturity by age two or three. Each spawning-age female can release up to 15,000 eggs at once. Snakeheads can mate as often as five times a year. This means in just two years, a single female can release up to 150,000 eggs."

"Since 2002, it has been illegal to possess a live snakehead in many U.S. states, where they are considered a destructive invasive species." Virginia has criminalized the "introduction" of snakeheads into the state without specific authorization, although the relevant statute does not explain whether mere importation is sufficient to constitute "introduction into the Commonwealth" or whether instead release into the environment is required.

Intentional introductions
Humans have been introducing snakeheads to nonindigenous waters for over 100 years. In parts of Asia and Africa, the snakehead is considered a valuable food fish since the flesh is very tender, and is produced in aquacultures (fisheries motivation) or by accidental release (as was the case in Crofton, Maryland). Examples of the introduction of snakeheads to nonindigenous waters include:
 * Channa maculata was introduced to Madagascar and to Hawaii around the end of the 19th century. It can still be found there today.
 * Channa striata was introduced to islands east of the Wallace line by governmental programs in the latter half of the 20th century. In Fiji, the introduction failed.
 * Channa asiatica, which is native to southern China, was introduced to Taiwan and southern Japan; the origin of and reason for the introduction are unknown.
 * Channa argus, which is native to northern China's Amur River, was introduced to central Asia (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). It was introduced from the Korean Peninsula to Japan about 100 years ago due to fisheries' motivations. Its introduction to Czechoslovakia by its government in the 1960s failed.

In the United States
Snakeheads became a national news topic in the United States because of the appearance of C. argus, commonly known as northern snakeheads, spawning in a Crofton, Maryland, pond in 2002. Northern snakeheads became permanently established in the Potomac River around 2004, and possibly established in Florida. In about 120 mi of river, the population has surpassed 21,000 individuals.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, snakeheads have also been spotted in California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Virginia, Louisiana, and Rhode Island. Snakeheads have also been spotted in New York State according to the state's Department of Environmental Conservation. Snakeheads have been caught in New Jersey since at least 2008 and according to the New Jersey Department of environmental protection the snakehead population appears to be growing and expanding its distribution. Due to the extensive habitat available and sheer size of the Delaware River, complete eradication of the species does not appear to be feasible.

World record
According to the International Game Fish Association, Caleb Newton, a Spotsylvania County, Virginia, resident, caught a world-record 17 lb northern snakehead at the junction of Aquia Creek and the Potomac River, United States, on 1 June 2013. The previous record, 17 lb, had been caught in 2004, in Miki, Kagawa, Japan.

Culinary use
Snakeheads are valuable food fish. Called nga yant in Burmese and in Manipur [Meiteilon] as porom, they are prized fish eaten in a variety of ways.In south india specifically the state of Kerala natively called Varal (Malayalam: വരാൽ) this fish is used to make Varal curry which is very famous in the state. In Vietnam, they are called cá lóc, cá quả, or cá chuối, and are served in clay-pot, steamed, and pickled preparations. Larger species, such as C. striata, C. maculata, and Parachanna obscura, are farmed in aquaculture. In the United States, chefs have suggested controlling the snakehead invasion by serving them in restaurants. In Indonesia, snakehead fish, called ikan gabus, are served as the main parts of traditional dishes such as the Betawi people's pucung gabus, and considered to be a delicacy due to their rarity in the wild and in aquaculture, as they are harder to raise than other popular freshwater fish such as catfish and carp. In the Philippines, where it's called "Haluan" (the Tagalogs call it "Dalag"), it is a favorite among Maguindanaons and Iranuns.

Classification
The snakeheads comprise two extant genera:
 * Channa Scopoli, 1777 (49 species native to Asia)
 * Parachanna Teugels & Daget 1984 (three extant species, one fossil species, all native to Africa)

Two other genera are only known from fossils: The genus Aenigmachanna was initially classified in Channidae upon its discovery, but analysis supports it being reclassified into its own family Aenigmachannidae.
 * †Anchichanna Murray & Thewissen, 2008 (one species)
 * †Eochanna Roe, 1991 (one species)

In popular culture
After its release in non-native North American waters, either accidentally or intentionally, the aggressive and predator-free snakehead's reputation as a "Frankenfish" or "monster fish" has become part of popular culture. Besides mentions on TV shows such as The Sopranos, The Office and CSI:NY episode "Sangre por Sangre" and Central Park episode "A Fish Called Snakehead", the snakehead has been featured in four Sci-fi Channel original pictures entitled Snakehead Terror, Frankenfish, Swarm of the Snakehead, and Snakehead Swamp. In the Animal Planet TV series River Monsters, Jeremy Wade shows a dramatization of a snakehead, "the fish from hell", stalking an unsuspecting baby and a Chihuahua. With the help of a snakehead researcher, however, Wade shows that although it is capable of living outside of water and is able to move on land, its weak pectoral muscles make movement difficult and render the snakehead an unlikely "stalker" on land.

George Dyer (poet)

George Dyer (1755–1841) was an English classicist, poet and editor.

Life
He was educated at Christ's Hospital, and attended Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He edited the Delphin Classics, a 143-volume set of Latin works published by Abraham John Valpy at which task his editorial labors were so excessive as to induce near total blindness. He also wrote poetry, and authored a number of tracts on the plight of England's poor and on reform of the political system.

Radical
He shared many ideas with radical writers of the time. His doctrine of benevolence advised a moral obligation to the poor, during a time when the interest in the lower classes was subsiding. He influenced authors such as William Godwin, but also gave critical and moral support to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth.

Nicholas Roe's chapter on Dyer in The politics of nature: Wordsworth and some contemporaries shows Dyer to have been an important model for Wordsworth and Coleridge in the way he brought politics to bear on the poetry of nature and imagination. Dyer's influence represents, for Roe the answer to current historians who believe that the Romantics turned their backs on history in their search for a transcendent nature. The poet thus seems to have revenged himself on claims of insignificance.

Anecdotes
There are a number of stories associated with George Dyer, particularly regarding his myopia and his eccentricities. These stories were told by his friends James Henry Leigh Hunt and Charles Lamb. Lamb in his Elia essay Amicus Redivivus relates an incident in which Dyer, after a visit to the Lamb household in Islington, walked the wrong way on the pathway and went right into the New River, nearly drowning himself in the process. Leigh Hunt tells a similar story regarding Dyer, in which after spending the evening at the Hunts' for dinner, he inadvertently left with only one shoe. Apparently Dyer's missing shoe went unnoticed by him until he arrived home and he returned to the Hunt household after midnight, awakening everyone, to retrieve his missing shoe which was finally located under a table.

Another incident relating to Dyer concerns a preface which he wrote for his Poems published in 1802. On rereading one of the first prints of his book, Dyer claimed that there was a significant error in reasoning contained on the first page of the preface. He rushed to the printer and had a number of prints redone at considerable expense.

Works
Compositions by George Dyer include:
 * Poems (London, 1792)
 * Complaints of the Poor People of England (London 1793)
 * Poems and Critical Essays (London, 1802)
 * History of the University and Colleges of Cambridge (two volumes, London, 1814)
 * Privileges of the University of Cambridge (London, 1824)

Marie Liljedahl

Marie Liljedahl (born 15 February 1950) is a Swedish actress who had a short-lived film career in the late-1960s and early-1970s, in the films of Joseph W. Sarno and Jesus Franco.

Biography
Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Liljedahl became a stage actress at the age of ten, and a member of the Royal Swedish Opera ballet at the age of twelve. She was discovered dancing with a Stockholm ballet company by director Joseph W. Sarno. At seventeen, she began her film career with the lead role in Sarno's Inga (1968), which transformed her into an international sex symbol. Her other film roles included Eugenie in Eugenie… The Story of Her Journey into Perversion (1970) and Sibyl Vane in Dorian Gray (1970). In 1971, she appeared in the sequel to Inga (The Seduction of Inga), her last major role. She grew weary of the film industry and retired from acting at the age of twenty-one.

Liljedahl appeared in two Playboy magazine pictorials: "The Girls of Scandinavia" (June 1968) and "Flicker Flicka" (March 1969). Decades later, she said in DVD interviews that she regretted having made the sex films when she was young.

Filmography

 * O Zestos minas Augoustos (1966)
 * Inga (1968)
 * Three-Cornered Bed (1969)
 * The New Adventures of Snow White (1969)

Considerations on the Government of Poland

Considerations on the Government of Poland — also simply The Government of Poland or, in the original French, Considérations sur le gouvernement de Pologne (1782) — is an essay by Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau concerning the design of a new constitution for the people of Poland (or more exactly, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth). It represents Rousseau's last venture into political theory.

To many readers, The Government of Poland is surprising in the degree to which its recommendations sometimes defy the principles expressed in Rousseau's more famous work, The Social Contract. Contrary to the perception of Rousseau as a radical — a view again largely based on The Social Contract — in The Government of Poland Rousseau displays caution and conservatism: "Never forget, as you dream of what you wish to gain, what you might lose."

Commission
In the early 1770s, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was in a particularly challenging situation, threatened by its neighbors on all sides, particularly Russia, Prussia and Austria. In an attempt to retain independence against the superior military might of the three great powers, some Poles joined together to form the Bar Confederation. One member of the confederation, Michał Wielhorski, approached both Rousseau and Gabriel Bonnot de Mably to submit suggestions for the reformation of Poland's unique "Golden Liberty", which had deteriorated from a semi-republican, semi-democratic political system into a state of virtual anarchy.

Mably's recommendations were completed in two installments, the first in August 1770 and the second in July 1771. Generally, he called for more radical and substantial changes than Rousseau was to suggest; he was also able to finish his recommendations in a more timely fashion than Rousseau. It was not until 1772 that Rousseau completed his essay. By the time he finished, the First Partition of Poland had already occurred, on February 17, 1772. Russia, Prussia and Austria had invaded and occupied much of Poland.

The Government of Poland was not published until after Rousseau's death.

Structure and recommendations
The work is divided into fifteen chapters of greatly varying length. The original is in French, Rousseau's native language, but there exist translations into a number of languages.

Among other issues, Rousseau addresses his belief that small states can prosper while large states slip into anarchy or despotism. He recommends that surpassing any constitutional reforms, the most important reform Poland could make would be the adoption of a federal system. Specifically, Rousseau advocates a federation of the existing voivodeships. In recommending the creation of smaller states, Rousseau recognizes the imminent First Partition with the words: "If you wish to reform your government, then, begin by narrowing your frontiers, though perhaps your neighbors intend to do that for you."

Within Rousseau's oeuvre
While The Social Contract is considered Rousseau's most important political commentary, his attempts in The Government of Poland to apply the principles described The Social Contract to concrete problems elucidate the major work. Besides The Government of Poland, the only other work in which he attempts this is the Constitutional Project for Corsica (see also Corsican Constitution), a work which is only fragmentary. Thus, The Government of Poland provides perhaps our best perspective on how Rousseau believed his overarching principles could be applied to realistic situations. As Rousseau's last political work, the essay can also be viewed as the final culmination of his political thought.

Rousseau's work influenced the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791, the world's second modern codified constitution.

He is not extraordinarily physically strong (although he keeps in good shape, like any of his self-respecting compatriots) and does not possess fancy gadgets, but his mental capabilities, such as his power of deduction, his memory and knowledge of various topics, are incredibly good. He was once able to pinpoint his location after being thrown tied and blindfolded into the back of a van, thanks to memorising the entire map of the city and feeling the van's momentum with his body when turning corners.

In 1969 a literary hoax perpetrated by several well-known writers and critics became publicly known. A well-known columnist had recruited an all-male team of fellow hoaxers to collaborate on a sexually explicit novel with no literary or social value whatsoever. Writing under a pseudonym, the group wrote the book as a deliberately inconsistent and mediocre hodge-podge, with each chapter written by a different author. Some of the chapters had to be heavily edited, because they were originally too well-written.

In the novel, a suburban housewife named Gillian Blake becomes angry at her unfaithful husband, and plans to have sex with every married man in her neighborhood.

The book was wildly successful; however, as sales continued to increase, many of the co-authors felt guilty about the large amounts of money they were earning, and went public. What was the title of the book?

Kewdale Freight Terminal

Kewdale Freight Terminal is a large intermodal rail facility in the Perth suburb of Kewdale, Western Australia. Branching off the Kwinana freight railway, it was built in the 1960s to replace the Perth marshalling yard. It initially comprised ten narrow gauge (1067mm) and seven standard gauge (1435mm) arrival roads.

The first narrow gauge sidings opened in early 1967; the first standard gauge sidings in November 1968.

Users

 * Pacific National yard and depot
 * UGL Rail to service the carriages used on the Indian Pacific
 * Transwa depot opened April 2005 to service WDA/WDB/WDC class railcars used on AvonLink and Prospector services
 * BP fuel siding
 * Sadliers Transport siding
 * Country Carriers siding
 * BlueScope yard, moved to new facility in Forrestfield late 2005

Redevelopment plans
All rail freight in and out of this terminal is moved on a single standard gauge track that crosses Daddow Road, and this level crossing has become a congestion headache for road users in the industrial area. In November 2005 the Federal Government announced it had allocated $11.5 million for the construction of an overpass at the level crossing. Now it is completed.

Rail operators Aurizon, Pacific National and Transwa share common sections of the yard which can also lead to congestion. Apart from the departure road, the yard is unsignalled. Track occupation of the common sections - north service road, eastern diagonal, and western diagonal - is manually managed by radio communications with Arc Infrastructure Eastern Train Control.

Clarence Lexow

Clarence Lexow (September 16, 1852 – December 31, 1910) was an American politician and member of the New York Senate from 1894 to 1898.

Biography
He was born on September 16, 1852, in Brooklyn, New York (state). His father was Rudolph Lexow (1823–1909) who was born in Germany. His mother was born in England and had died prior to 1880. His siblings include: Charles K. Lexow (1850–1928) who was a lawyer in 1880; Allen Lexow (1855–?) who was a banker in 1880; and Rudolf Grant Lexow (1865–?).

He studied abroad and at the Columbia Law School, where he graduated in 1872. He was admitted to the bar and established his practice in New York City, where he had many German-American clients. In 1880 Clarence was living in Clarkstown, Rockland County, New York with his parents, and he was already a lawyer. Rudolph Lexow, his father was working as an editor. Clarence and Charles also appear as living in Manhattan in the Benedict Building at 79 Washington Place in New York City.

In 1882, he became a resident of Nyack and was active in the Republican Party there. In 1890 he was an unsuccessful nominee for Congress. Though Lexow was unsuccessful, the majority for the Democratic victor was lower than had been usual.

He was a member of the New York State Senate from 1894 to 1898, sitting in the 117th, 118th (both 16th D.), 119th, 120th and 121st New York State Legislatures (all three 23rd D.). Here he at once took a leadership role, and was chairman of the committee on internal affairs and introduced the bi-partisan police bill calling for an investigation of the New York City Police. This led to the appointment, in 1894, of the Lexow Committee, of which he was the head. The committee documented how Tammany Hall leaders and the police extorted bribes from operators of gambling and prostitution houses. He was a Senator from the 16th District from 1894 to 1895; and the 23rd District from 1896 to 1898. Lexow was also the introducer of the bill creating the city of Greater New York, was chairman of the joint legislative committee for the investigation of trusts and unlawful combinations, of the committee on primary elections reform, and of the judiciary committee.

In 1896, he was chairman of the committee on resolutions at the Republican State convention and introduced the gold standard plank in the platform; in 1900, he was a presidential elector, voting for William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt.

He died in 1910, and was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Nyack, New York. His daughter Caroline Lexow Babcock was a prominent suffragist and pacifist.

Works
He is author of reports on:
 * Municipal Government (5 vols., 1895)
 * Trusts and Unlawful Combinations (1895)

So Far From God, Should Have Own Page.
Anyone else think so? It's more notable than just having a large section on Ana Castillo's page, at least in my eyes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.62.34.141 (talk) 18:43, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, So Far From God should definitely have its own page. Although right now it's the only work that has its own sections on Castillo's page, so hopefully when other sections are added that address her other major works, then just hyperlinks can go to the works. This is how it's done on, for example, Sandra Cisneros's page.Wordsmith8888 (talk) 04:25, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:MC Frontalot

Uncategorized crap
Pretty sure Del named nerdcore, not Damian Hess, in "Both Sides of the Brain", which predates Hess' material. -- Stonecypher, too lazy to log in —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.18.224.47 (talk) 07:17, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

What the heck does 28 and 22/50 squared mean? Is there some mathematical significance I'm missing?

 * First of all, note that he's saying that "DJ CPU" has that formula. DJ CPU was simply the name he gave to his drum machine at the time (more for the sake of the lyrics in that song than anything else).  If you work out the formula as $$[28+( \frac{22}{50} )]^2$$, it works out to 808.8336.  Follow the rest of the lyrics, he says "just a little bitty bit more than the beat...", and 808.8336 is in fact "just a little bitty bit more than" 808.  I'm guessing that while writing the song he calculated the square root of 808 and then worked out a way to turn it into a decent rap lyrics... which he did, obviously. - Ugliness Man 12:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Hm. I always parsed this line as $$(\frac{28 + 22}{50})^2$$, that is to say, 1. I figured it was an ironic way of using apparently complex math to denote a simple number. --Shorn again (talk) 01:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I withdraw the above conjecture. I see now from Front's website chatter that Ugliness Man is in fact completely and utterly correct. --Shorn again (talk) 23:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

It is so sad that the Front is hanging up his fro. I hope it's another front. -CVS-

Front just released a new CD, anyone up to making an entry for it? Nerdcore Rising Fo0dNippl3 06:04, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Cleaned up, could still use some help
In honor of the Nerdcore Rising disc, I did some clean up on the Front entry. Expanded some stuff, reorganized some stuff.

It still needs some help because I are not smart always. I "previewed" it and still didn't catch basic clerical errors. Eugh. Anyway, have at it. I'm on my way to do the Nerdcore Rising CD article now.

(redacted)
Someone went through and took out his real name? Anyone know why? I think it is important to the wiki article. If nobody objects I will revert it back tonight. Schalicto

Alright, reverted. Schalicto 15:32, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

The good MC would like to maintain a veil of mystique.

His name appears to be missing again. --Khaim 22:40, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah... person up there said "The good MC would like to maintain a veil of mystique". I guess we could oblige to that. --Schalicto 23:28, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Whether or not he does, this is still an encyclopedia article

(okay, so why don't you post your real name, then?)

Despite me being unencyclopedic? Richard William Fitch III, born September 3, 1986 at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Deleware to Richard William Fitch Jr and Kathy Lynn McCoy Fitch, happy?
 * the III? nerd

If someone doesn't wish to include their real name as part of their public persona, it's not necessarily encyclopedic to include it. It might be encyclopedic to mention this fact, though. I suggest that the name be removed. I'll contact the artist. Fearwig 01:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree for two reasons. I feel that the persons name is exactly encyclopedic and Front seems to have droped the whole anonymous thing. --Schalicto 02:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Your first reason is nonsense (this is the internet, not Hollywood--doing something significant doesn't make your life public domain) but your second is absolutely correct, as has now been verified. Carry on! Fearwig 03:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup and talk
One, I like the article and am an MC Frontalot fan. However, the article needs some serious work (sources, images, etc.). It would also be nice if users would observe standard talk page practices, including organization and signing of comments. Thanks! /Blaxthos 23:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Personal Life?
A lot of articles about celebs have sections regarding the celeb's personal life. Could someone add something along those lines to this?

Thematically Appropriate
I'm also a big fan of MC Frontalot. I have to say that when I saw the text "this article or section may contain original research or unverified claims" at the top of the entry, I burst into laughter. If you know anything about the Front, you'll have to admit that such an accusation is well in keeping with everything he stands for. MC Frontalot is all about unverified claims. It's what he does, from his spurious boasts of criminal activity to his "thousands of uncleared samples." I know that this is an encyclopedia and should therefore be as accurate and well-cited as possible, but please don't ever take that heading down.

I'm a huge dork. I finally created a wiki account just so that I could say this.

Age
Frontalot's website, although randomly changing his name, consistently lists his birth year at 1973. Also, his MySpace page lists his age at 33. Is this mere fronting, or is the bio on this page wrong?

 * I'd also like to know where the current 1981-01-16 date comes from, I'm going to remove the dates until we can get some credible reference on it. – Quoth 00:00, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've found a February 2007 Newsweek article listing his age as 33, which corresponds with his MySpace page. Additionally, his MySpace page lists him as a Sagittarius, supporting the IMDB which currently states the 6th of December as his birthdate. I've replaced the old birthdate with this one for the above reasons, knowing full-well that IMDB should not be trusted as a source of information anymore than Wikipedia should, but it's a plausible date until we can get confirmation. – Quoth 00:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I was close, the man himself tells me it's 1973-12-03 – Quoth 23:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

LiveJournal
There was a time when the LiveJournal account "frontalot" was indeed being used by MC Frontalot. He the user info simply said "the Front does not blog", and he never made any entries, but he did sometimes use the account to make comments on other people's entries. For example, if an mp3 community made any of his non-free music available, he'd post a polite note asking that it be removed and perhaps replaced with some of his free material.

Then at one point there was an entry made saying that he (or whoever was typing at the time) was going to start using the account. Now there are entries being made occasionally, which seem to be written from the perspective of someone in the US military. One might think that they're fictional blog entries as some sort of creative writing project, but people have responded to these entries, not just as people responding to the writing, but in some cases responding as if the things he's describing actually happened to him, and the people responding are aware of these things... and they're calling him "Sean". Does anyone know what's going on here? Did he give the username to someone else? Is he messing with our heads by taking on a new persona and having people play along? Is he actually in the military between shows? I once posted a comment to one of the entries asking what's going on, but he doesn't seem to respond to comments. Here's the journal. - Ugliness Man 07:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Emerald Rain Productions & Zombies in Love
Front fronting as Damien fronting as Frontalot fronting as Damien Hess (sorry...) was part of Emerald Rain Productions in CA. He wrote a rock musical "Young Zombies in Love" in which Jess Klein (with whom he later performs Soda Water) played the lead character. Gaby (a frequent Frontalot collaborator) also took part. There's a bio of Damien (complete with pic) accessible at ERP's site. As the site uses frames, I'll direct link it here: www.emeraldrain.com/folk/hess.html. We should snarf information from that bio for inclusion in the article. This also means that parts of the article should be tweaked to reflect the fact that he's not "just" a rapper.

Defensio pro Populo Anglicano

Defensio pro Populo Anglicano is a Latin polemic by John Milton, published in 1651. The full title in English is John Milton an Englishman His Defence of the People of England. It was a piece of propaganda, and made political argument in support of what was at the time the government of England.

Background
This work was commissioned by Parliament during Oliver Cromwell's protectorate of England, as a response to a work by Claudius Salmasius entitled Defensio Regia pro Carolo I ("Royal Defence on behalf of Charles I"). Salmasius argued that the rebels led by Cromwell were guilty of regicide for executing King Charles. Milton responded with a detailed justification of the parliamentary party.

Style
The work includes invective against Salmasius and accusations of that scholar's inconsistency for taking contradictory positions. Milton also claims Salmasius wrote his work only due to being bribed with a "hundred Jacobuses" by the exiled son of Charles, who would later become King Charles II of England. The level of ad hominem attack is high and much unlike what one would expect from a serious contemporary debater even on a controversial topic. Here is an excerpt from the beginning of Chapter VIII, where Milton sarcastically asks Salmasius what concern the latter has with what the English do among themselves:

"...It were better for you to return to those illustrious titles of yours in France: first to that hungerstarved Seigneurie of St. Loup, and next to that sacré Council of the Most Christian King; you are too far abroad from your own country for a counsellor. But I see full well that France desires not either you or your counsel, and did not, even when you were back a few years ago, and were beginning to smell out and hunt after a Cardinal's kitchen. She is right, by my troth, she is right, and can willingly allow you, you French capon, with your mankind wife and your desks chock-full of emptiness, to wander about, till somewhere in creation you light upon a dole bountiful enough for a grammarian-cavalier or illustrious hippo-critic,--always supposing any king or state has a mind to bid highest for a vagabond pedant that is on sale...."

Despite the level of insult employed, Milton's polemic provided an effective response, both rhetorically and argumentatively, to Salmasius' volume. As John Alvis notes, Milton "ridicule[s] his adversary for having changed sides in a controversy, for meddling in the affairs of a nation foreign to him, and for having written in the pay of the son of the king he champions." At the same time, some critics such as George Saintsbury in the Cambridge History of English and American Literature have condemned this work and Milton's later Defensio Secunda, asserting that they show, in Saintbury's words, "a good deal of bandying of authority and of wearisome rebutting on particular points."

Further controversy
Salmasius published no response during his lifetime, but a fragment of a reply was printed posthumously. A long anonymous reply, Pro Rege et Populo Anglicano, appeared later, in 1651 at Antwerp; this was authored by a royalist clergyman, John Rowland. It was answered on Milton's behalf by his nephew John Phillips, although Milton is reported to have given his nephew's work "Examination and Polishment" before publication.

BET: Uncut

BET: Uncut is a defunct music video block program that aired on BET from September of 2000 until 2006. The videos contained within the show featured mature content, including highly sexualized imagery. The content assured the program a permanent TV Parental Guidelines rating of TV-MA, with a 'viewer discretion' advisory leading into the start of and each segment of the show. Uncut mainly aired on Fridays through Sundays at 3 a.m. EST.

Its last episode aired on July 7, 2006 and was hosted by Jermaine Dupri. BET announced the cancellation of the show on July 25, 2006.

Controversy
While the videos were lightly censored, the show's content has been the focus of controversy, with Nelly's video for "Tip Drill" by far the video with the most outcry among Uncut videos. For example, the Associated Press has reported that even some hip-hop artists such as Big Boi of Outkast thought the show was distasteful and could constitute soft porn. Likewise, individuals affiliated with historically black institutions such as Spelman College and Essence Magazine stated that the erotic imagery of the show falls outside of acceptable standards. Regardless, the show maintained a degree of popularity.

False 'return'
On August 5, 2015, BET put out a release announcing the block's return on August 11. The 'relaunch' of the series proved to be merely a publicity stunt (especially as August 11 was a Tuesday evening compared to the weekend berth Uncut aired in the past), and after an intro with the imagery of Uncut, the actual series in the timeslot was the premiere of the BET revival of Punk'd, which had been announced earlier in the year.

Media spotlight

 * The show was mentioned by rapper Joe Budden on the first verse his debut single "Pump It Up".

Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2

Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2 is a double album by Jerry Cantrell, released on November 26, 2002, through Roadrunner Records. It is an expanded limited edition of Cantrell's Degradation Trip album, which was released five months earlier. All the songs were written long prior to the first release of Degradation Trip. The title was taken from the song "Solitude", the fifth track from the album. Roadrunner Records, uneasy toward the idea of a double album release, made Cantrell condense it, but promised to eventually release all of his material.

The track order of the expanded version, which differs from the first, is also presented in Cantrell's originally planned order. Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin and then-Ozzy Osbourne/Black Label Society bassist Robert Trujillo contributed to Degradation Trip, and would tour with Cantrell in support of it in 2001, before the album was released.

The album was released on vinyl for the first time through Music on Vinyl on February 8, 2019, with a limited edition of 2,000 individually numbered copies on quadruple color vinyl.

Recording and background
The liner notes for Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2 include an article by Don Kaye titled "A Long, Strange Trip". This describes the album's style and features quotes from Cantrell regarding its development and final release as a double album. Cantrell described the initial plans for the album:
 * "We probably had thirty-plus ideas - it could have been a triple record, you know what I mean? When I was making the record, my co-producer actually gave me George Harrison's triple record (All Things Must Pass), which is one of the coolest things anyone's ever given me. So yeah, this was intended to come out as Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2."

Label executives commended Cantrell's ambition but were uneasy about the idea of a double album. As Cantrell had already spent a year searching for a label that would take his album, he compromised and condensed his work on the promise that later on it would be released in its entirety.

For about four months in 1998, Cantrell locked himself in his home to write the 25 songs. He noted that much of the writing was inspired by the demise of Alice in Chains, describing it as "a situation where I had to move on, and not really being happy about it... So it was just coming to grips with all that stuff – and I'm still doing it, especially now that Layne's gone." Consequently, Degradation Trip boasts dark themes and bleak visuals. "It's the hardest record, in some ways, that I've done," Cantrell declared. "It's definitely the most lyrically brutal one. Sonically, it's right up there with Dirt as far as viciousness goes."

Songs like "Pig Charmer" and "Bargain Basement Howard Hughes" are often interpreted as being about the relationship between Cantrell and Staley. "Pig Charmer" has the lines "It turns out he's a big pussy, Satan hoof had its way". "Satan hoof" was the nickname that Staley gave to Cantrell – as mentioned during his interview with Rockline in 1998, while Staley was on the phone. "Owned" and "Pro False Idol" question the career of Cantrell and his status as a musician, while "Feel the Void" and "31/32" explore the concept of lives wasted. Cantrell elaborated, "Throughout the process of making this record, I often wondered at times whether I was insane or not. Sitting here, thinking back on it now, I probably had my moments." He also noted, however, the satisfaction in having released the album as he wanted and being able to put all of the intimate expression to bed.

Nishan-e-Imtiaz

The Nishan-e-Imtiaz is one of the state organized civil decorations of Pakistan. It is awarded for achievements towards world recognition for Pakistan or outstanding service for the country. However, the award is not limited to citizens of Pakistan and, while it is a civilian award, it can also be awarded to military personnel and worn on the uniform. Nishan, translating as decoration/order/mark, is a highly restricted and prestigious award, roughly equivalent to Presidential Medal of Freedom (United States) and Order of the British Empire (United Kingdom), and is the first category award of Order of Imtiaz. The other three descending categories are Hilal-i-Imtiaz, Sitara-i-Imtiaz and Tamgha-e-Imtiaz. Usually, it is regarded as the highest award one can achieve in Pakistan since the higher award Nishan-e-Pakistan is awarded only to foreign Heads of States.

The Nishan-e-Imtiaz was established on 19 March 1957, following the proclamation of Pakistan as a parliamentary republic, by the 1956 Constitution. The award is the top decoration in the country, given to a person who has accomplished duty beyond what is assigned to them. The person has to show eminence and be outstanding in providing excellent service in a significant field of activity.

The award may be bestowed posthumously and may also be awarded to an individual more than once, though it has not been awarded twice since 1999. Nishan-i-Imtiaz is an honour given by the Government of Pakistan to both the military officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces and civilians who have outstanding contributions that prompted world recognition of Pakistan. For civilians, it is awarded for distinguished merit, honouring their excellence in their respective fields of literature, arts, sports, medicine, or science. The award is usually given to individuals not groups because the purpose of the award is to recognise individual excellence.

For those in the military it is given after distinguished service and is also the highest award that can be awarded to those at the rank of Generals (Army), Air Chief Marshals (Air Force), and Admirals of the Navy, Coast Guard, and Marines.

The Parliament of Pakistan's committee for the Award and Recognition of Services for the State of Pakistan, selects individuals and sends a final report to the Prime minister of Pakistan. On the advice of the Prime Minister, the President organizes a ceremony that is telecast and broadcast nationally.

This award ceremony is held once in a year, nominees are announced on Independence Day and the ceremony takes place on Pakistan Day in the Presidential Palace. Nishan-i-Imtiaz is awarded to the nominees by the President of Pakistan in a public ceremony.

The badge of the Nishan-e-Imtiaz is in the form of a pure golden star with light-white enamel, with well polished green emerald circumference to the inside the golden star. Written in gold words around the green emerald, it reads as نشان امتیاز. A golden Jasminum stands between the point of the star. It is worn around the neck with a yellow, bright yellow and white ribbon (for civilians) or bright green and white ribbon (for military officers) with white edge stripes.

A special grade of the award has a larger execution of the same medal design worn as a star on the left chest. In addition, it is worn as a sash on the right shoulder, with its rosette (yellow with white (for civilians) or green (military officers only) with white and yellow edge, bearing the disc of the medal at its center, resting on the left hip. At ceremonies, both medals can be worn at the same time.

For military officers, the medal is accompanied by a ribbon bar for wearing on military uniform, a miniature medal pendant for wearing on mess uniform, and a lapel badge for wearing on civilian clothes.

I believe the link to Alex Jones is not the correct person. It should be this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones_%28radio%29

NPOVing and merging
As it is, this sounds like conspiracy theory-babble, which is why it was put up for first, CSD and now, VFD.

If this is to be kept, it needs to be gone over with a fine tooth comb, reliable sources put in, and NPOVed to an extent that it might as well be rewritten. That being said, once it's cleaned up, I doubt there will be much difference from the Cremation of Care bits in Bohemian Grove, so that's why I suggest that once that's done, whatever's left to be merged should be merged and then this article changed to a redirect. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 04:34, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Cronkite
I have re-added the section on Cronkite voicing the Owl, here is a source: http://www.rotten.com/library/conspiracy/bohemian-grove/ "The gathering includes semi-Masonic themes that center around a 40-foot tall stone owl, whose voice is provided by regular attendee Walter Cronkite" Alex Jones has also verified this. -Wiffle0rz 04:34, 21 August 2005 (UTC) "Walter Cronkite, now on the CBS board, hangs out at the same lodge at Bohemian Grove as George Bush and the former chairs of Procter & Gamble and Bank of America; Cronkite's voice has served as the voice of the Owl of Bohemia, a fixture in the club's mock-druidic rituals." -Wiffle0rz 04:46, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Another source: http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1489 Here it says:

Why is this disputed?
There are too many references from too many sources that show that the Bohemian Grove events do take place and that the cremation of care ceremony has been performed as an annual event for many years. Take down the "Neutrality is disputed" label!

The article could be incorporated into the Bohemian Grove article, though there are "literary elements" that are of their own interest in the text that this may be worthwhile keeping as a stand alone topic. Kiwifilm

 * The tag was originally put because as it was orginally written, it described the ceremony in conspiracy theory terms and as if those conspiracy theories were true (see the history for earlier versions). The fact that the ceremony exists is not in dispute; the problem is presenting it in a non-sensationalist, factual and neutral way without injecting POV. There is still a problem, for example, with the "apparently occultic" characterization of the ceremony. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 03:51, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I added the "apparently occultic" phrase instead the more direct "occult" in the desrciption that was in the original source of the transcript that I used. Maybe we should use "alleged occultic" instead? Whatever... Anyway, members of the Bohemian Club and guests at the Bohemian Grove are quite welcome to come forth and put their point of view and 2 cents worth into this discussion and clarify ... Kiwifilm 17:46, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

OK OK - I made the change from "apparently" to "allegedly" - now the only remaining phrase that should cause concern regarding neutrality is "It is known that parts of the script may contain allusions to purported prisoners" - the word "known" is presumptious and therefore slanted - and now that the transcript is posted giving the reader the opportunity to draw their own conclusions, then a more "neutral" term could be applied and therefore remove the neutrality notice... perhaps?

Discrepancies
The Moloch article claims that the statue is 45 feet, whereas this article calls it a 40 foot statue. Now, I suppose no one has been no one has gone so far as to measure the statue itself and that their are one or two sources that would differ on the specifics but there should be some sort of agreement between the articles.

 * Oh for crying out loud! I've heard both figures.  Are you really going to piss and moan about five feet?  It's a big statue of an owl?  Can we agree on this? GeorgeC 15:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Music and production
The music during the latter half seems to be In the Hall of the Mountain King, not sure if the preceding music is anything particular. Some mention could be made of the program handed out beforehand, pyrotechnic effects, and trouble with reporting on the ceremony.

Reviving the article
I rewrote and restored this page as an article after some two years as a redirect to Bohemian Grove. In its former state, it was a POV fork that held very little in the way of history or development of the ceremony. Now, there's some good information about the early versions as well as the old POV bit where Alex Jones videotapes it with his spy camera. Binksternet (talk) 03:25, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
