As a long time Wikipedia user I like to edit and create pages where appropriate.

I seek to make technical changes that I may not when using Wikipedia as my primary daily reference, and to occasional enhance something when I find more content that the article has but is significant. I try to not create new pages because more energy is spent to tear things down than to build it up, which is disheartening.

1932–33 NHL season

The 1932–33 NHL season was the 16th season of the National Hockey League (NHL). Nine teams each played 48 games. The Ottawa Senators rejoined the league after missing one season, while the Detroit team was renamed the Detroit Red Wings. The New York Rangers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs three games to one for the Stanley Cup.

League business
After sitting out for a season due to financial difficulties, the Ottawa Senators rejoined the NHL. The Philadelphia Quakers never rejoined the NHL after sitting out the 1931–32 season.

Detroit Falcons were renamed as the Detroit Red Wings.

Although the Montreal Maroons had Flat Walsh, Dave Kerr and Normie Smith for goal, they were interested in acquiring Chuck Gardiner of Chicago. James Strachan offered $10,000 plus one of his goalkeepers, but there was no deal.

Billy Coutu, expelled from the NHL in 1927, was reinstated to the NHL, but never returned.

Rule changes
This season, the NHL started allowing a substitute to serve penalties for goaltender's penalties.

The NHL now required a captain or alternate captain to be on the ice at all times.

Regular season
There was a record number of four goaltenders who served as captains for their teams: George Hainsworth, Roy Worters, Charlie Gardiner, and Alex Connell. The Red Wings and Boston Bruins tied for the best overall record with 58 points apiece, but it was Boston that was awarded first overall due to a better head-to-head record. Ottawa started the season up in second place in the Canadian Division near the .500 mark at mid season, but collapsed in the second half and finished last. President Ahearn instructed coach Cy Denneny to fine players who displayed indifferent hockey. At the same time, he stated that Hector Kilrea was not for sale.

The Montreal Canadiens, under new coach Newsy Lalonde, spent much of the season in last place, but made the playoffs when they rallied to finish third. Toronto, with its Kid line, finished first for the first time as the Maple Leafs. Led by the play of Eddie Shore, the Boston Bruins finished first in the American Division.

The first forfeit in NHL history occurred during a Black Hawks-Bruins game at Boston Garden on March 14, 1933. Chicago coach Tommy Gorman punched referee Bill Stewart following a disputed overtime goal by Boston's Marty Barry. Stewart threw several punches at Gorman before summoning the police to remove Gorman from the visitors' bench. The Hawks refused to continue the game without their coach. The puck was placed at center ice by Stewart. Boston's Cooney Weiland scored without any Hawks on the ice—at which point the game was forfeited to Boston. Ironically, referee Stewart would coach the Black Hawks to the Stanley Cup in 1937–1938.

(A1) Boston Bruins vs. (C1) Toronto Maple Leafs
Game five of this series is the second longest game in NHL history, it was the longest at the time.

Awards
It was the first season that league president Frank Calder named the best rookie of the year. The first winner was Carl Voss of the Detroit Red Wings. Although Tiny Thompson was named 'most valuable goaltender', he was not named to the NHL All-Star team.

Tusheti

Tusheti (თუშეთი; Bats: თუშითა, romanized: tushita) is a historic region in northeast Georgia. A mountainous area, it is home to the Tusheti National Park. By the conventional definition of the Europe-Asia boundary as following the watershed of the Greater Caucasus, Tusheti is geographically a European part of Georgia.

Geography
Located on the northern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, Tusheti is bordered by the Russian republics of Chechnya and Dagestan to the north and east, respectively; and by the Georgian historic provinces Kakheti and Pshav-Khevsureti to the south and west, respectively. The population of the area is mainly ethnic Georgians called Tushs or Tushetians (tushebi).

Historically, Tusheti comprised four mountain communities: the Tsova (living in the Tsova Gorge), the Gometsari (living along the banks of the Tushetis Alazani River), the Pirikiti (living along the banks of the Pirikitis Alazani River), and the Chaghma (living close to the confluence of the two rivers). Administratively speaking, Tusheti is now part of the raioni of Akhmeta, itself part of Georgia's eastern region of Kakheti. The largest village in Tusheti is Omalo.

History
The area is thought to have long been inhabited by the Tush, a subgroup of Georgians, which themselves divide into two groups- the Chaghma-Tush (Georgian name, used for Tush who speak the local Georgian dialect) and Tsova-Tush (Nakh-speaking Tush, better known as Bats or Batsbi). Pagan Georgians from Pkhovi took refuge in the uninhabited mountains during their rebellion against Christianization implemented by the Iberian king Mirian III in the 330s. From the 5th century it became a constituent part of the Kingdom of Iberia. In the 8th century, together with the Khundzakhi community, it was included in one administrative unit - the Saeritavo(Duchy) of Tsuketi and this time is considered to be the Christianization period of Tushetians. In the 8th-9th centuries, when it was part of Kakheti, it was included in the Pankisi Saeristavo, and later, when it was part of the united Georgia - in the Kakheti Saeristavo.

In the second half of the 17th century, Tusheti came in King Erekle I(1642–1709) support in the fight for the kingdom. In 1660, the great contribution made by the Tushes in the battle of Bakhtrion against the Tatar invaders became a basis on the legend about the bravery of the leader of Tushetians - Zezva Gafrindauli and the transfer of the Aloni(Alvani) Valley to the Tushes. The right to use the pastures of the Alvani Valley for the Tushes was subsequently legalized by the deeds of the kings of Kakheti - Teimuraz II and Erekle I.

Regarding the relationship between the Nakh (Tsova) and Georgian (Chaghma) Tushians, the "Red Book", states the following: For centuries there have been two communities next to each other in Tusheti, one speaking the Nakh language, the other Old Georgian. The general name for them is tush, according to their language either Tsova- or Chagma-Tushian. They formed one single material and intellectual unit with Old Georgian elements prevailing. The descendants of the Old Georgian pagan tribes, whose ancestors had fled from Christianity to Tusheti, are regarded as Tushians. In the mountains some of the fugitives splintered off from other Old Georgian tribes. They were in close contact with the Nakh tribes which resulted in a new linguistic unit.

After the collapse of the unified Georgian monarchy, Tusheti came under the rule of Kakhetian kings in the fifteenth century.

Many Tush families began to move southwards from Tusheti during the first half of the nineteenth century and settled in the low-lying fields of Alvan at the western end of Kakheti.

(Alvan had already belonged to the Tush as a wintering-ground for their flocks for centuries; it was bequeathed to them in the seventeenth century in recognition of their valuable assistance in defeating a Safavid army at the Battle of Bakhtrioni in 1659: Like a rushing stream did the Toushines make their way into the fortress, while the first rays of the rising sun were falling upon the grim old fortifications. The Tartars, half asleep, ran out into a field, but in vain for now they were met by the Pchaves and Khevsoures, who had ventured out from the gorge of Pankisse. The Tartars, surrounded on all sides, were exterminated to the last. )

The first to move were the Bats people following the destruction of one of their most important villages by a landslide in c.1830 and an outbreak of the plague. The Tush of the Chaghma, Pirikiti and Gometsari communities followed later. Many of these families practiced a semi-nomadic way of life, the men spending the summer with the flocks of sheep high up in the mountains between April and October, and wintering their flocks in Kakheti.

During the German invasion of the Soviet Union, a minor anti-Soviet revolt took place in the area in 1942-1943, seemingly linked to the similar but more large-scale events in the neighbouring Ingushetia.

Culture
One of the most ecologically unspoiled regions in the Caucasus, Tusheti is a popular mountain trekking venue. Traditionally, the Tushs are sheep herders. Tushetian Guda cheese and high quality wool was famous and exported to various destinations. Even today sheep and cattle breeding is the leading branch of the economy of highland Tusheti. The local shepherds spend the summer months in the highland areas of Tusheti but live in the lowland villages of Zemo Alvani and Kvemo Alvani in wintertime. Their customs and traditions are similar to those of other eastern Georgian mountaineers (see Khevsureti), with some local nuances. Due to pre-Christian customs, pork is considered bad luck; breeder will not raise pigs and "some families shun pork altogether".

Historical population figures
Figures from the Russian imperial census of 1873 given in Dr. Gustav Radde's Die Chews'uren und ihr Land — ein monographischer Versuch untersucht im Sommer 1876 (published by Cassel in 1878) divide the villages of Tusheti into eight communities:

 * the Parsma community: 7 villages, 133 households, consisting of 290 men and 260 women, totalling 550 souls
 * the Dartlo community: 6 villages, 143 households, consisting of 251 men and 275 women, totalling 526 souls
 * the Omalo community: 7 villages, 143 households, consisting of 354 men and 362 women, totalling 716 souls
 * the Natsikhvári community: 8 villages, 116 households, consisting of 282 men and 293 women, totalling 575 souls
 * the Djvar-Boseli community: 10 villages, 116 households, consisting of 270 men and 295 women, totalling 565 souls
 * the Indurta community: 1 village, 191 households, consisting of 413 men and 396 women, totalling 809 souls
 * the Sagirta community: 3 villages, 153 households, consisting of 372 men and 345 women, totalling 717 souls
 * the Iliúrta community: 8 villages, 136 households, consisting of 316 men and 329 women, totalling 645 souls

1873 TOTAL: 50 villages, 1,131 households, consisting of 2,548 men and 2,555 women, in all 5,103 souls.

Note: The Indurta and Sagirta communities were home to the Bats people.

MSU Interview
Dear JoanneB,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 23:04, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Redirect
(There wasn't really anything to merge at Artukid, so I redirected it. Adam Bishop 21:52, 17 August 2005 (UTC))
 * That's cool too. Removing the merge-from template here. --Skoosh 00:01, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Anyone want to make a redirect from "Ortukid?" So many archaic spellings...

Move?
Was the move to Artuklu really necessary? Is "Artuk" any better a transliteration than "Ortoq"? It also seems to me that Muslim dynasties are usually referred to as Fatimid, Abbasid, Hamdanid, etc etc...even the Turkish ones, Zengid, even Seljukid sometimes. Why "Artuklu"? Adam Bishop 15:10, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I read your message only today. When one googles Ortoqid, the only hits are wikipedia and its extensions. I could understand Artuqid, Brittanica refers to the dynasty as such, but Ortoqid is definitely alien and distant to the Turkish original spelling of the name of the family (Artuk, hence Artuklu for those of the Artuk), and shocking for a Turkish eye. Osmanli is sometimes used for Ottoman in English too. Artuqid is fine with me as well. Cretanforever

 * Ok, Artuqid it is. Thanks. Adam Bishop 01:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Semitic vs. Arabic
The following is notes section of this article.

Notes ''This text contains nearly exclusively Semitic morphemes (word-roots). The only non-Semitic word is vintura "luck", sometimes translated into English as fate, from Sicilian.'' In general, early Maltese texts contain very little non-Semitic vocabulary; even in later texts, poetry tends to use more Semitic word-stock than general language use.

The issue is the use of the word Semitic to describe Arabic roots. While technically correct, I think this is misleading to the reader. The roots are exclusively Arabic. There is no point in going up one classification when the narrower one would do.Hakeem.gadi (talk) 15:40, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Heya, thanks for the note on my talkpage: very decent of you. I disagree that 'Semitic' is misleading.. as you've pointed out, it is factually correct. I wouldn't disagree that the roots are Arabic either, but in the context of Maltese (a seperate language, ultimately descended from, Arabic) it is the most fitting. How about changing it to Siculo-Arabic instead? That would be even more accurate and bolster the reference to Sicilian later in the para. golden bells, pomegranates, prunes & prisms (talk) 16:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, if there's a single Arabic root that represents innovation or departure (e.g. adapted borrowing) from Common Semitic state that is used in this text, as I suspect there are plenty of as it would be hard to believe that there are none, the statement that "text contains nearly exclusively Semitic morphemes" would indeed be factually wrong. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 19:27, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * While the dominant theory is that Maltese is derived from an earlier form of Arabic, using "semitic" in this context is like using "Germanic" when talking about English (which would seem appropriate to me). We could say "This text contains nearly exclusively Semitic (i.e. Arabic) word-roots.  The only non-Semitic word is..." — Æµ§œš¹  [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]  19:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * How about "This text contains nearly exclusively Semitic (i.e. Siculo-Arabic) word-roots. The only non-Semitic word is..."?
 * Any takers..? golden bells, pomegranates, prunes & prisms (talk) 23:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That seems a little odd. Why be so specific?  — Æµ§œš¹  [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]  00:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually using Semitic when discussing Maltese as opposed to the direct ancestor Arabic would be like using Indo-European when discussing the lack of influx of Romance/Old Norse borrowing in Old English (Anglo-Saxon), as opposed to using more precise and apporpriate hiponym Germanic.
 * As I said - if there's a single Arabic root/morpheme that represents innovation from Common Semitic state, that statement would be factually wrong and misleading to the reader, by insinuating the non-existing conservativeness of Maltese. Semitic in a genetic sense should be exclusively used when discussing or referring to Proto-Semitic roots/words and their reflexes in daughter languages/branches. Labeling Arabic-only roots/morphemes as Semitic strikes me as inappropriate. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 06:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree (nice simile, Ivan!). "Semitic" is misleading, and could fool readers into thinking Maltese was a separate evolution from Proto-Semitic.--Yolgnu (talk) 07:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I drew a parallel with English because many English words come from either Norman French or are inherited from its Anglo-Saxon heritage (i.e. English is a language of mixed vocabulary, much like Maltese).  Because both Romance and Germanic are branches of the Indo-European language family, using "Indo-European" when discussing English's mixed vocabulary instead of either "Romance" or "Germanic" would be nonsensical because both sources are Indo-European.  Using "Indo-European" in this context for English is like using Nostratic for Maltese.
 * Also, unlike "Indo-European" and like Germanic, Semitic is a branch of a greater language family, namely the Afro-Asiatic language family. Thus, using "Semitic" in this context is not like using "Indo-European."
 * You'll hopefully notice that our article on Maltese language says "Maltese vocabulary is primarily a large mix of Romance, Semitic, and English influences." So there is precedence.
 * Because it has been brought up that a reader might be mistakenly led to believe that Maltese had a separate evolution from Proto-Semitic than Arabic (which, honestly, is quite a stretch and an unconvincing reason against using "Semitic"), I reaffirm my suggestion italicized above. — Æµ§œš¹  [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 08:28, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The "Romance, Semitic and English" sentence is a bad example because it's highly controversial and is currently under dispute.
 * If you don't like Ivan's simile, perhaps "The Romance portion of the Oaths of Strasbourg contains nearly exclusively Italic roots" instead of "contains nearly exclusively Latin roots" would be a more appropriate comparison.
 * I still don't see why Semitic is preferable to Arabic. In fact, I think that the objection to Arabic is largely a result of the disproved (but popular in Malta) theory that Maltese is descended from Phoenician.--Yolgnu (talk) 10:24, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yolgnu, where ever did you hear that any such theory is 'popular in Malta'? I thought you were done with sowing mis-information into Malta-related articles.. I guess you've moved on to the talk pages! golden bells, pomegranates, prunes & prisms (talk) 15:54, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I was referring to Indo-European only for inherited modern-English words, regardless of the origin of Romance/Nordic borrowings (some of which are non-IE borrowings themselves, and most of which are later innovations that cannot be traced to IE).
 * OK, let me rephrase my simile: Using Semitic when discussing the non-influx of borrowings into Maltese as opposed to it's immediate ancestor Arabic (in a broader sense of that word) would be like using Germanic when discussing the influx of Romance/Nordic borrowing into modern English, as opposed to using more precise and appropriate hyponym Old English, which was free of them.
 * Moreover, it's misleading to insinuate that all of the Maltese roots/morphemes exemplified in this text draw from Proto-Semitic stock, and that they're equally related to Arabic roots as are to that of any other Semitic language. There's no need to insist on imprecise terminology.
 * OTOH, if the substitution of Semitic with Arabic is related to some largely discredited fringe theories of relating Maltese to Phoenician, this suddenly becomes less of a technical issue. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 11:10, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Loads of interesting comments all round.. my suggestion of Siculo-Arabic was in response to the suggestion that 'Semitic' was not specific enough. But 'Siculo-Arabic' is too specific?? Not sure I understand why that's the case. golden bells, pomegranates, prunes & prisms (talk) 11:29, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think any of the editors contributing to this discussion would consider replacing 'Semitic' with Phoenician or Punic! golden bells, pomegranates, prunes & prisms (talk) 15:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I back "Siculo-Arabic" as the most appropriate. 78.146.110.45 (talk) 12:41, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ivan brings up a good point that we are simply assuming that the roots are Semitic by virtue of being Arabic when Arabic even in the classical period had words of non-Proto-Semitic origin. Perhaps what we should do is find a reliable source that discusses Il Cantilena and see what it says about the document.  Otherwise, the phrase in question is technically OR— Æµ§œš¹  [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]  22:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Jack O'Lantern (DC Comics)

Jack O'Lantern is the name of several fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

Daniel Cormac
The first Jack O'Lantern is Daniel Cormac of Ireland, who was born to a poor farmer who was granted a magic lantern by an Irish fairy. Cormac is a member of the Global Guardians, an international group of superheroes. His first recorded mission in Super Friends #8 was to help Green Lantern dismantle a bomb in Ireland. He appears in three solo back up stories in Super Friends issues #37, #40 and #44.

Cormac's first appearance in the mainstream DC Comics universe is DC Comics Presents #46, helping Superman find an ancient ruin in Ireland. He is later seen as part of a group of heroes from Ireland and England trying to save the world in the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

When the United Nations decide to fund the Justice League International, the Global Guardians find themselves without financial support, and disband. Cormac subsequently joins Rumaan Harjavti's army in Bialya. After Harjavti is killed by the Queen Bee, Jack voluntarily joins forces with the villainess in taking over the world. He is left dying in a sewer after a battle with the Justice League. He is found alive by his girlfriend Owlwoman in Justice League Quarterly issues #6 - #8 when the two heroes are found by Doctor Mist. They take a major part in reuniting the Global Guardians and fight with Sonar against the Justice League in Justice League Europe issues #49 and #50. Afterwards, Jack dies of natural causes.

Marvin Noronsa
Marvin Noronsa is a native of Bialya who takes over the Jack O'Lantern identity at Queen Bee's behest. Noronsa is able to use Cormac's mystical lantern only after Queen Bee modifies it. Noronsa is killed in an explosion caused by Sumaan Harjavti in Justice League America #55 (October 1991).

Liam McHugh
More recently, Cormac's cousin Liam McHugh takes up the mantle of Jack O'Lantern. An Irish freedom fighter who wields a mystical jack o'lantern and is blessed with incredible agility, McHugh has fought evil in various arenas over the past few years. He was a member of the Leymen (Primal Force) and later joined the Ultramarine Corps in Superbia. He appears in three solo stories in Justice League Quarterly #14, 15 and 17. He became a member of Dr. Mist's Leymen in Primal Force #0, appearing in every issue until the book was cancelled with issue #14. Liam is last seen as a member of the Ultramarine Corps in JLA #26 and JLA Classified #1-3.

Powers and abilities
Daniel Cormac and Marvin Noronsa have a mystical lantern that gives them the power of flight, flame projection, teleportation, illusion casting, enhanced strength, and the ability to create fogs. The power of the lantern is at its weakest at noon, and gradually increases to its peak at midnight.

Liam McHugh has found a way to internalize the powers of the mystical lantern, and no longer needs to carry it.

In other media
The Marvin Noronsa incarnation of Jack O'Lantern appears in Powerless, portrayed by Kimani Ray Smith.

Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
Dan56 has twice reverted the addition of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time ranking in the lead. Two editors agree and one does not, so that is consensus. CountGramula (talk) 17:20, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

 * WP:CONSENSUS → "Consensus is ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy." Dan56 (talk) 21:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

 * , mentioning the ranking is undue, because the lead is meant to summarize the article's "most important aspects ... The emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources." Beyond the use of the list itself to cite it in the body, what other discussion of Rolling Stone's 500 greatest list is there among the sources in this article to further establish its importance? Or is its importance to this album based on your opinion of the list only? Dan56 (talk) 21:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I think you are wrong, and I see that the RS list is mentioned in the leads of dozens of music articles and nobody has an issue with them there. Yes I know, WP:OTHERSTUFF, but almost every reason you give against it is your own opinion that others do not share. To answer your question, I think that the album was included in the list helps to establish the album's importance. CountGramula (talk) 17:34, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

User:Rhallanger

Who am I
I worked as an Administrator for a contractor that builds railroad tracks and light rail systems throughout the Western U.S. This gave me an in-depth knowledge of the inner workings railroad construction methods, locations of lines, and railroad operations.

Since a teen I've been involved in railroad organizations. I was a "Student" member of the East Bay Model Engineers Society in the mid-1980's Bay Area. I also belonged to the Twin Cities Model Railroad Club Fairfield, California. I have also taken virtually every Amtrak Route west of the Mississippi River and was involved in TRAC "Train Riders Association of California".

I have an extensive collection of railroad reference books, including dozens of Official Railway Guides spanning from the late 1800's to Amtrak Era, all of the available SPV Railroad Atlas', a dozen Handy Railroad Atlas', Encyclopedia of Western Railroad History and History of Arizona Railroads, Journey to Amtrak. Plus things I've acquired over the years from being around the railroad, Division Timetables, etc.

How I became a Wikipedian
I came to Wikipedia recently as a result of a "hit" on google for a train I was searching for information on. I was impressed with the information found on Wikipedia, and none of the other google links seemed to have info on my topic. When I started looking within Wikipedia, I saw that they welcomed additions, improvements, corrections and I just made some small contributions. Since then, I've seen a real need to put my experience to use by filling-in stubs and expanding articles and lists.

Trains and railroads
My interest lies in providing historical backgrounds and profiles of U.S. Railroads, both current and fallen flags. I am also interested in Amtrak and passenger trains. I also know a bit about light rail and commuter rail systems. Currently, my father's railroad construction company has the contract to construct the "Sprinter" line near San Diego, California as well as Phase I of the Phoenix Light Rail. Our company has also done work for Metrolink, the Peninsula Corridor CalTrain, MUNI, Sacramento Light Rail, Sacramento Southern Railroad (California State Railroad Museum), and the Santa Clara Light Rail - Tasman Corridor.

I'm still learning the protocols of how to do things and the programming language, Slambo already fixed the "&" that I was using on Railroad Names. I mainly cut and past formats that look good, then modify the text. But with experience, I'll be getting more creative.

Current Projects
Comprehensive lists of railroads, particularly Western U.S.  California is 80% completed, NV almost 100%, UT almost 100%, AZ almost 100%. I got articles on all the active shortlines in CA finished, currently working on the active AZ/NV/UT/CA shortlines. Then I will go back and start working on the Defunct railroads - there are hundreds of them! Also, working on the Amtrak passenger train list and equipment. I started working extensively on Alabama railroads. I will also like to get a comprehensive list of different rail transit systems updated, including proposed systems, Light Rail, Heavy Rail/Metro, and Commuter Rail. I would eventually like to do articles about all the various Amtrak depots within California, including their history. I would eventually like to get pictures for Amtrak article and the shortlines. I am also working on the List of Class I Railroads and List of Amtrak Routes.

Alfred Whitehead

Alfred Ernest Whitehead (10 July 1887 – 1 April 1974) was an English-born Canadian composer, organist, choirmaster, music educator, painter, whose works are held in a number of important private collections, and an internationally recognized authority in the field of philately. His The Squared-Circle Cancellations of Canada received its third edition shortly after his death.

Whitehead's music is tonal and sometimes modal; his output of motets and anthems was extensive and he took particular pride in the anthems Alleluia, Sing to Jesus (with organ accompaniment),Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem, Now God Be with Us, and O Light Beyond Our Utmost Light, the short motets Bread of the World, Grant Us Grace, and Almighty God, Whose Glory. Leo Sowerby, a leading American cathedral organist-composer, described Whitehead's Benedicite, based on the Gregorian Tonus peregrinus, as the "best Benedicite" he knew. Whitehead's eight-part motets Watch Thou, Dear Lord (words by St Augustine) and Love Unknown, the Brahmsian organ Prelude on Irby, and his many short carols for Christmas, are also noteworthy.

Early life and education
Whitehead was born in Peterborough, England, where he received his early musical education as an articled pupil of Peterborough Cathedral organists Haydn Keeton and C. C. Francis. He studied in London with organist and theorist Arthur Eaglefield Hull at the Royal College of Music, earning an Associateship in 1910. In 1912, he emigrated to Canada, and in 1913 was the first person to earn the Fellowship of the Canadian Guild of Organists (FCGO), from the organization now known as the Royal Canadian College of Organists. Then, by successful examination and submission of composition exercises, he earned the external Bachelor of Music of the University of Toronto in 1916, and Doctor of Music of McGill University in 1922.

Career
From 1913 to 1915, Whitehead was both organist-choirmaster of St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Truro, Nova Scotia and instructor of organ and music theory at Mount Allison University. From 1915 to 1923, he was organist-choirmaster of St Peter's Anglican Church, Sherbrooke and privately taught piano, organ and theory; one student there was the composer Allan McIver.

From 1922 through 1947, Whitehead was organist-choirmaster of Christ Church Cathedral. There he "became the acknowledged leader of Montreal's Protestant church music scene." In 1936, Wilfrid Pelletier invited Whitehead's Cathedral Singers to perform with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra for the opening of the very first Montreal Festivals. Thereafter, Whitehead prepared the festival choruses for performances of Johann Sebastian Bach's St Matthew Passion and Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Bach's Mass in B Minor, Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem, and Beethoven's Missa solemnis.

From 1922 to 1930, Whitehead taught organ, theory, and composition at McGill University's music faculty. He was twice elected president of the RCCO (1930-1931, 1935-1937). Later, the college named him honorary vice-president (1971–1973) and honorary president (1973-1974). From 1947 to 1953, he was head of Mount Allison University's music department. His notable pupils include Alexander Brott, Graham George, Hector Gratton, Frances James, and Ethel Stark.

On retiring from Mount Allison, he was organist-choirmaster (1953 to 1971) of Trinity-St. Stephen's United Church, Amherst, Nova Scotia. He died in Amherst in 1974, at the age of 86.

The Library and Archives Canada holds many of his papers and original manuscripts as well as a large portion of his private library. He is listed as an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre.

Cannonball Blitz

Cannonball Blitz is a game programmed by Olaf Lubeck for the Apple II and published by On-Line Systems in 1982. It was ported to the VIC-20 and TI-99/4A computers. An historic military spin on Donkey Kong, rolling cannonballs replace barrels, a soldier stands in for the large ape, and the objective of the first level is a flag rather than a kidnapped girl.

Gameplay
There are three different screens, the third of which is particularly challenging. After completing the third level, the player views a small celebration scene and then restarts at the first level. Repeated levels only differ from those of the first round in the harsher timing patterns of the game.

Development
Cannonball Blitz achieved some notoriety in the Apple hacking community as being difficult to crack. Track 17, sector D of the game contains the message "YOU'LL NEVER CRACK IT".

Reception
Ron Brinkmann reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "In the final analysis, Cannonball Blitz is a game every bit as challenging and fun as the arcade original. It will give you hours (days, months, years) of enjoyment."

Ahoy! wrote that "Cannonball Blitz [for the VIC-20], make no mistake about it, is Donkey Kong in dress blues. Not a bloody thing new here. However, you're going to find it a barrel of fun". The magazine favorably reviewed the animation and the "unbelievable" sound effects, and concluded that it was "a very good version of a fine game".

Boeing X-50 Dragonfly

The Boeing X-50A Dragonfly, formerly known as the Canard Rotor/Wing Demonstrator, was a VTOL rotor wing experimental unmanned aerial vehicle that was developed by Boeing and DARPA to demonstrate the principle that a helicopter's rotor could be stopped in flight and act as a fixed wing, enabling it to transition between fixed-wing and rotary-wing flight.

The X-50A built upon the work of the Sikorsky S-72 X-Wing program of the 1980s by designing the vehicle as a multi-mode aircraft from the ground up. The X-50A was one of two projects funded by DARPA in its "Heliplane" program.

Neither of the two prototype aircraft ever successfully transitioned to full forward flight. DARPA withdrew funding for the X-50 program in late 2006 due to inherent design flaws.

Development
Boeing initially proposed using the CRW configuration to fill a requirement for a VTOL aircraft suitable for escorting the V-22 tiltrotor.

The X-50A was a joint program between Boeing and DARPA, with each paying for half the development costs. The X-50A was powered by a single conventional turbofan engine. For rotary-wing mode, the engine's exhaust was diverted to nozzles in the tips of the rotor blades. When the aircraft transitioned to full forward flight, the engine exhaust was directed through a nozzle at the rear of the aircraft and the rotor was locked into a fixed position and functioned as a conventional wing. Two proof-of-concept aircraft were built as part of the program. The X-50A's maiden flight took place on 24 November 2003.

Design
The X-50 had a "canard" foreplane as well as a conventional tailplane, allowing both to contribute lift during forward flight and to offload the main rotor wing.

For vertical take-off, hovering, low-speed flight, and vertical landing, the main rotor wing was driven by tip jets, by directing the exhaust from a jet engine through thrust nozzles in the rotor tips. Because the rotor is driven directly by jet thrust, there is no need for a tail rotor to control torque as in a conventional helicopter.

For high-speed forward flight, the exhaust is redirected through an ordinary jet nozzle and the rotor wing is stopped and held in a fixed position, as in a conventional airplane.

Crashes
During the third flight of the prototype X-50A, on 23 March 2004, the vehicle crashed, as a result of cross-coupling in the controls.

A second, improved prototype ("Ship 2") was then built. On its sixth of 11 planned test flights, Ship 2 was completely destroyed in a crash at the Yuma Proving Ground on April 12, 2006. Subsequent investigation revealed that the aircraft's fuselage was subject to an aerodynamic pitching moment of extreme sensitivity. Both airspeed and rotor wake would produce a nose-up pitching motion that was greater than the flight controls could compensate for.

Outcome
Neither aircraft was able to achieve transition to full forward flight mode during the portions of the test flight program that were completed. In September, 2006, DARPA recognized the inherent design flaws and withdrew funding for the program.

Talk:Linux for PlayStation 2

Untitled
Who has the kit? Sony only made a few of these linux kits and they sold fast. It was only verson 1.0, but I am not sure if Sony is in the process of making another Linux Kit for Playstation 2.

It wasn't lack of sales that caused the unavailablity of kits in NTSC U/C territory, they just sold the entire run of kits and didn't make more. It wasn't meant to be a wide release anyway. I have a kit and have been using it as a personal desktop since May of 2002. It was intended for hobbyist development, though there were people using them for scientific computing, like the cluster at the NSCA

I have the kit :-) Indeed, PS2 Linux was just junk. It obviously proved that a game console without games is nothing but a poor, useless computer; a mere 300MHz & 32MB RISC computer without hardware double-precision operation and 2D graphic acceleration is not enough for any purpose. Its only practical use is a small, quiet (but not extensible at all) home server. 219.113.144.250 22:01, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I have the European kit. Window Maker can be seen ugly, but it's efficient and fast. With this kit, I read e-mails, surf on the web, type texts in Abiword, chat in ICQ/IRC and contribute in Wikipedia. I've no tested as a server, but as personal computer the kit fulfills the function. It's very limitated (no KDE, no Amerca's Army 4Linux) by sufficient to be an personal computer. With a modchip installed (DMS-3), you can partition the HD for Linux and HD Loader games. I have a memory card for the system and another for the games. And finishing, is fully possible use DVD drive in Linux, just using a patch. Resuming, it's very complicated and limited for casual users, but a great system for enthusiastics a awesome console game. --Brazil4Linux 13:53, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

How do put this article in a subcategory of Linux_distributions called "Linux distributions for Game Consoles"? And is this a good title for this subcategory. Or how do I create a "List of Linux distributions for Game Consoles"? The articles about the distros that would go in this subcategory (or on this list) are already entered in wikipedia. Zerothis 05:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Suggested rename
PS2 Linux isn't the official title of the kit. The article should probably be renamed to "Linux (Playstation 2)" or "Linux Kit" or some other combination. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 11:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Linux for PlayStation 2 it is then. Chris Cunningham 17:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

HELP!!!
According to the article, the memory card is used as RAM, but it is limited to 32MB. Can multiple cards be put in a multitap to quadruple the RAM to 128MB or two multitaps to octuple the RAM to 256MB? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.68.192.62 (talk) 03:51, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

 * The memory card isn't used as ram, the PS2 has it's own internal 32 MB of ram which are used. The access speed on a memory card is VERY slow and using it for ram would be very impractical. A ps2 memory card also only has 8 MB of space, not 32. Mr toasty 03:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps it should be added that the DVD-ROM drive is fully supported, and can be used for reading non-PlayStation media with the use of a mod chip. This particular restriction is one of hardware, not one enforced by Linux. Hence using a modchip alongside running Linux gives you complete control over the drive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.12.233.21 (talk) 11:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Israel Epstein

Original language
The article has the Song Qingling biography as translated into English, but I happen to know that the biography was translated from English into Chinese by Shen Suru (沈苏儒), and I believe that his name appears on the cover of the Chinese edition as the translator. I don't know what to do about this, or if it matters. — Pekinensis 20:17, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Refugees
Would somebody kindly tell me for what reason Epstein`s family should have fled from the approaching German Army during World War ONE ?

Quote: "During the first two years of World War I, most Israelites all over the planet kept their fingers crossed for Imperial Germany, while the German forces who invaded the (formerly Polish) western part of Czarist Russia were orded to keep the Slavian mob from violently trespassing against the local Jewish population. When German troops captured Polish or Baltic cities from the Russians in World War One they were frequently hailed as liberators by the local Jews. That`s why twenty-five years later so many Polish and Soviet Jews initially refused to believe rumours about anti-Jewish atrocities and didn`t escape from the rapidly advancing Nazi war machine when German forces returned to Poland in World War II. In the Austo-Hungarian Empire the German-speaking elites among Slavian populations were mostly Jewish. Franz Kafka for instance occasionally related to himself as a German, as did Nathanael West`s father wo originated from Wolhynia, as did many Jewish intellectuals from the Austro-Hungarian city of Cernowitz" 172.181.98.188 01:01, 20 February 2006

 * Weird, agrammatical "quote" without a source ... —Babelfisch 01:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Chinese name
Could we get the pinyin for his Chinese name included here? LordAmeth 10:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Voilà. —Babelfisch 06:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. That's interesting, that his Chinese name would be a pronunciation approximation, instead of a new name entirely. Take, for example, William Adams, who became Miura Anjin in Japan, and not Uiriamu Adamuzu or something. Just interesting, that's all. Thanks again. LordAmeth 10:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

American?
He is placed in the 'Jewish-American journalist' category. Presumably that category is for American citizens. Was Epstein ever an American citizen? Thanks Hmains 03:13, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Sony Music Entertainment Japan

Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. (株式会社ソニー・ミュージックエンタテインメント), often abbreviated as SMEJ or simply SME, and also known as Sony Music Japan for short (stylized as SonyMusic), is a Japanese music arm for Sony. Founded in 1968 as CBS/Sony, SMEJ is directly owned by Sony Group Corporation and is operating independently from the United States-based Sony Music Entertainment due to its strength in the Japanese music industry. Its subsidiaries include the Japanese animation production enterprise, Aniplex, which was established in September 1995 as a joint-venture between Sony Music Entertainment Japan and Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan, but which in 2001 became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan. It was prominent in the early to mid '90s producing and licensing music for animated series such as Roujin Z from acclaimed Japanese comic artist Katsuhiro Otomo and Capcom's Street Fighter animated series.

Until March 2007, Sony Music Japan also had its own North American sublabel, Tofu Records. Releases of Sony Music Japan now appear on Columbia Records and/or Epic Records in North America.

Sony does not have the trademark rights to the Columbia name in Japan, so releases under Columbia Records from another country appears on Sony Records in Japan, but retains the usage of the "walking eye" logo. The Columbia name and trademark is controlled by Nippon Columbia, which was, in fact, the licensee for the American Columbia Records up until 1968, even though relations were officially severed as far back as World War II. Nippon Columbia also does not have direct relations with the British Columbia Graphophone Company (an EMI subsidiary), so the licensee for the British Columbia Graphophone Company was actually Toshiba Musical Industries.

With Sony Corporation of America's buyout of Bertelsmann's stake in Sony BMG, Sony Music Entertainment Japan stepped in to acquire outstanding shares of BMG Japan from Sony BMG, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Music Japan.

Beginnings as CBS joint venture
The idea for a CBS/Sony joint venture came in 1967 from Harvey Schein, then President of Columbia Records International who had spent a decade traveling the world building CBS’s international company. In 1972 Schein would leave CBS to become the president of Sony Corporation of America.

Sony Music Entertainment Japan was officially incorporated in March 1968 as a Tokyo-based 50/50 joint venture between Sony and U.S. conglomerate CBS to distribute the latter's music releases in Japan. The company was incorporated as CBS/Sony Records and with Sony co-founder Akio Morita as president.

Norio Ohga, who himself was a musician, was part of the management team from the formation of the company and served as president and representative director since April 1970. In 1972, when CBS/Sony was generating robust profits, Ohga was named chairman and at the same time gained further responsibility and influence within Sony. He would continue to work for the music company one morning a week. In 1980, Toshio Ozawa succeeded Ohga as president.

In 1983, the company was renamed CBS/Sony Group.

Sony acquires The CBS Records Group in 1988
In January 1988, after more than a year of negotiations, Sony acquired the CBS Records Group and the 50% of CBS/Sony Group that it did not already own.

In March 1988, four wholly owned subsidiaries were folded into CBS/Sony Group: CBS/Sony Inc., Epic/Sony Records Inc., CBS/Sony Records Inc. and Sony Video Software International.

The company was renamed Sony Music Entertainment (Japan), Inc.

Shugo Matsuo was named new president in January 1992, replacing Toshio Ozawa, who was appointed to the post of chairman.

Overall sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1991, were 83.8 billion yen with a pretax profit of 9.2 billion yen.

In June 1996, Ryokichi Kunugi became the new president. Shugo Matsuo was named chairman.

Shigeo Maruyama was appointed to the new post of CEO on October 1, 1997, and replaced Kunugi as president in February 1998.

In August 1998, the logo was changed from the original "Walking Eye" to the current one.

As of 2019, Mizuno Michinori is the official CEO of the company.

In May 2018, SMEJ, through its Sony Creative Products division, acquired a 39% stake in the Peanuts comic strip franchise from DHX Media.

Unties
Sony Music Entertainment announced the launch of its first video game publishing label, Unties, in October 2017. Unties will publish indie games for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation VR, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The name was selected by Sony as representative of helping to "unleash" the power of independent video game development and "unshackle" such developers from the traditional video game publishing process.

Unties' first release was Tiny Metal, a turn-based tactics video game developed by Area 35, for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC. The game was first premiered at PAX West Indie Megabooth. Published Azure Reflections, a side-scrolling bullet hell developed by Souvenir Circ., on May 15, 2018, for the PS4. Published Touhou Gensou Wanderers Reloaded, a roguelike rpg developed by Aqua Style, for the PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Published Necrosphere, a platformer developed by Cat Nigiri, for the PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and PSVita. Published Midnight Sanctuary, a VR/3D Novel game developed by CAVYHOUSE, for the PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC. Published Tokyo Dark, a visual novel mystery adventure hybrid developed by Cherrymochi, for the PC. Published Chiki-Chiki Boxy Racers, an arcade racing game developed by Pocket, for the Nintendo Switch on August 30, 2018. Scheduled to publish on Last Standard, a 3d action game developed by I From Japan, intended for PC. Scheduled to publish The Good Life, a daily-life rpg developed by White Owls Inc., for the PS4 and PC. Scheduled to publish Merkava Avalanche, a 3d cavalry warfare action game developed by WinterCrownWorks, for the PC. Scheduled to publish Olija, an action adventure game developed by Skeleton Crew Studio, for the PC. Scheduled to publish Deemo Reborn, a music rhythm and urban fantasy game developed by Taiwanese studio Rayak, for the PS4 with PSVR support. Scheduled to publish Giraffe and Anika, a 3d adventure game developed by Atelier Mimina, for the PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC. Scheduled to publish 3rd Eye, a 2d horror exploration game, based on the Touhou franchise, for the PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Scheduled to publish Gensokyo Defenders, a tower-defense game developed by Neetpia, for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. In 2019, Unties was dropped from the Sony group and became the new company Phoenixx.

Increased competition
The company's leading role on the Japanese market was increasingly challenged by labels such as Avex (where SMEJ formerly owned 5 percent of shares). Net sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1997, were down 10% to 103 billion yen, while net income fell 41% to 7.7 billion yen. The market share at that time was less than 18%. In August 1997, Dreams Come True, until that point Sony Music Entertainment Japan's best-selling act, signed a worldwide multi-album deal with competing U.S. label Virgin Records America.

Since then it was said that SMEJ ceded to Avex's challenge, but SMEJ bounced back and regained leadership from its indie rival until 2012. SMEJ netted 22.4 billion yen for 1H 2012 and 14.3% of the market, second behind Avex (24.95 B yen, 15.9%).

In May 2017, SMEJ, through subsidiary Sony Music Marketing (now Sony Music Solutions), acquired the physical retail and distribution rights to releases of another rival, Warner Music Japan.
