Temple University station

Temple University station is an above-ground SEPTA Regional Rail station located at the eastern edge of the Temple University campus at 915 West Berks Street between 9th and 10th Streets, in the Cecil B. Moore section of Lower North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The station is in the Center City fare zone, although the station itself is located in North Philadelphia.

There is a small ticket kiosk located at the base of the stairs on the street level. Temple University maintains a security kiosk at street level. Stairways and two elevators lead up to the high-level platforms at track level. There are two island platforms serving four tracks. Each platform is 380 ft long, long enough to platform four cars with only the end doors being used. The platforms have a canopy overhead and some wind-breaking walls but are otherwise exposed to the weather.

This station is located approximately 2.6 track miles from Suburban Station. In FY 2005, Temple University station was the fourth busiest station in SEPTA's Regional Rail system, with 2,448 average total weekday boardings and 2,593 average weekday alightings. The station also has two large bicycle racks that both have roofs above them to protect bikes against the weather. The station can easily accommodate 30+ bicycles. The racks are also in full view of the 24-hour security guard.

Station history
Built in 1911, the old Temple University station achieved infamy in November 1984 when SEPTA was forced to shut down the Reading side of the railroad above North Broad Street Station. A few days after the Center City Commuter Connection and Market East station (now Jefferson Station) fully opened, some of the girders supporting the tracks in the platform area on the bridge over the avenue were discovered to be in imminent danger of collapse. The emergency repairs, completed early in 1985, included demolishing the station and replacing it with temporary wooden low-level platforms and steel stairs which served until the new station opened. This event helped draw attention to the deterioration of North American railroad and transit infrastructure; the two-year-long RailWorks project which resulted would provide a permanent, modern station at a location more convenient to Temple's campus.

The station was opened in 1992 and was built for $37 million as part of SEPTA's RailWorks project to rebuild the Reading Railroad viaduct in North Philadelphia. The station sits on the Reading side of the system and almost all trains stop here. The new station replaced the older Temple University station, which was originally named Columbia Avenue (a street since renamed Cecil B. Moore Avenue). The old station, located at 39.97747°N, -75.14983°W, had two island platforms serving all four tracks, but was served by only a few peak hour trains by the time SEPTA began operation of the railroad.

Station layout
The station has two island platforms serving four tracks.

Talk:Interleukin 10

While
While I haven't researched IL-10 in any fashion since 1998, I believe that the cytokines that are inhibited by IL-10 on CD4+ T cells depended upon the species: IL-10 inhibits both Th1 and Th2 cytokines in human T cells (although there was debate as to whether there was a larger inhibition of Th1 cytokines), whereas it only significantly inhibited Th1 cytokines in mice.

Also, I believe that IL-10 could also facilitate antibody class switching in B cells, but that wasn't near my area of research. I don't have the references on me, but I can dig them up if someone wants more detail. Volantares 08:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Please do. Your expertise is welcomed, and 7 yr old info is better than no info at all! JFW | T@lk  12:02, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Wow guys, this info's nine year's old now. But rest assured, at a brief glance, the information's correct. However, with regard to what Volantares said above, IL-10 not just inhibits Th1 cytokine secretion, it inhibits the cells all together, contributing to Th2 prevailance.

Talk:Myall Creek massacre

second trial
what happened in the second trial the the Myall Creek Massacre??? i need some info for my assignment i have got to reserch for it... yeah me too

In the second trial I think the 11 people go punished for the murder of the baby. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.33.166.100 (talk) 09:04, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Clarify
I'd suggest these clarifications: First, to an obvious error. The massacre was on June 10, 1838, so the murderers could not have arrived on June 27. To call eleven of the men convict settlers is misleading. Some were still convicts, and some were ex-convicts who had served their time. Second, they were not settlers in the terminology of the time. They were employed by or assigned to squatters who were sending their sheep and cattle out on runs beyond the officially defined boundaries of settlement. The prosecutor's opening address to the jury in the first trial lists the eleven defendants' status individually as convicts or time-expired ex-convicts, and it also makes clear the massacre took place beyond the boundaries of settlement.

I have never seen a challenge to the claim it was the first time whites were tried, convicted and executed for the massacre of Aborigines in Australia. It's almost certainly the only time, also.

Those wishing to research the massacre will find value in the reports of the first trial published in contemporary newspapers and now available online from a Macquarie University Law School project, particularly the prosecutor's opening address and the witnesses' evidence. http://www.law.mq.edu.au/scnsw/Cases1838-39/html/r_v_kilmeister__no_1___1838.htm#bn1

This web pabe provides links to the second trial reports (in which the judge's sentencing remarks are worth reading), and points to the archival material available for even more advanced research. Grumpyoldjourno (talk) 23:21, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I've opted for 'settlers' in the intro based on an Australian government source. It also refers to the killers using other terms but this is what I perceive to be most clear and helpful in context. DBaba (talk) 19:15, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

The event of the Myall Creek massacre shows the prejudice of the British towards the Aboriginals even thogh they had invede their land!

"This was the first time that the European legal system had been used to punish white people for crimes against Aboriginal people."

Is this true? Or is the more tightly worded sentance in the Significance section more accurate? Rich  Farmbrough 00:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

'''*NEED TO BE ANSWERED PLEASE* I was researching this for a school project and was wondering, what where the stockmen actually killing the Aboriginals for? in a school textbook, it said that they where killed becuase an Aboriginal broke into a house and stole some food or something, (but was not from the tribe near the hut, some other tribe) so the stockmen just went and murdered the nearest tribe. i don't know if this is true, but i've looked all over the place and i just can't find a single thing. if this could be answered, that would be really helpful. Thanks, Puzzlled'''

 * It's in the third line under "The Massacre". Man, not only do people want us to do their research, but also read the article for them (!) --pfctdayelise (translate?) 09:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

"The Australian"
The current article states "One of the jurors later told the newspaper The Australian...". The Australian was launched in 1964, so it can't have been directly told to that paper. The source just says that he was quoted in it. Billwilson5060 (talk) 18:45, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * there have been a number of newspapers called The Australian over the years and I'm guessing they are referring to a 19th Century incarnation. --Roisterer (talk) 01:19, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Sentence structure
"They found many charred bones, with pieces of at least twenty different skulls, and other identifiable skeletal remains in numbers enough for Day to conclude that at least twenty-seven people had been killed there, three survived."

"Three survived" is a completely separate and independent sentence. It has a subject - "Three" (meaning "three people") and a verb- "survived". It is an important sentence which contains considerable impact because these three people were presumably able to witness.

Why has the writer of this sentence tagged it on, with nothing more than a comma, to a long sentence about the discovery of the charred remains? Is the writer telling us that the three survivors were still there, to be found among the remains, all those weeks later? The information about the survivors needs to go into the article somewhere! But not at the point at which you describe the finding of the bones. Amandajm (talk) 11:11, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It has just occurred to me, not having read the article... does the writer mean that three skeletons had survived intact? or three skulls had survived intact? If this is the case, then the sentence still needs to be fixed. Amandajm (talk) 11:13, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi WL Ross

Happy to discuss any of the issues you have with Myall Creek.

One small point to begin with, Bruce Elder is predominately a travel journalist. trying to hide this fact appears to be an attempt to beef up his "credentials" to give his point of view more weight.

There are several factual errors in this article that you seem determined to maintain.

Bill — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.200.169.159 (talk) 01:11, 18 April 2014 (UTC)  (Transcribed from User Talk:WLRoss)

 * Taking your recent edits one at a time.

 * The article already mentions that one of the men was an African in the very first sentence. Your addition later in the article was largely irrelevant as a point is being made with that sentence and Africans did not play a significant part in the killing of Indigenous Australians.
 * Your addition of the mention of innocence is not only repetitious, as it is already mentioned in the previous sentence, but it is written in a style more suited to a newspaper.
 * There is only one source for the number three, fringe historian Keith Windschuttle. He bases this number on a report from a soldier who arrived at the scene at the end of the action. This soldier only mentions that he personally saw three killed and does not comment on how many were killed before he arrived. Another soldier who took part in the action confirms that many more were killed in his own report. Historians reject Windschuttle's estimate and academic consensus accepts that 40 is a minimum. See WP:FRINGE/PS for a more detailed justification for exclusion.
 * Yes, Elder is a travel journalist but he has written more than 60 books covering a wide range of disciplines and also works in other professions so why have you ignored those job titles? That he is a historical writer whose book, that details the massacre, is recognized by historians as one of the best written is relevant here. Calling him only a "travel journalist" is irrelevant and POV as it suggests that he is writing outside his area of expertise.
 * If you find any factual errors in this article point them out. Wayne (talk) 02:23, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Second Trial - Double Jeopardy?
It would be good if someone could add an explanation of the legal status of the second trial. Was the first trial ruled a nullity by an appelate court? Did the legal system of the colony permit multiple trials for the same offence? Or, as the article currently hints in referring to "additional charges" but does not say explicitly say, was the second trial for different offenses? If so, how were they different? Was the first trial perhaps for the murder of a subset of the victims, the second trial for others?Bill (talk) 17:42, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

 * From what I've read, the 7 that were found guilty were found guilty of a single murder of an Aboriginal person that wasn't listed in the first trial. For example, if person A is suspected of killing people X, Y and Z, and is charged and found not guilty of the murder of persons X, Y and Z, then double jeopardy dictates that A cannot be charged with their murder again.  However, if person A is only charged and found not guilty of the murder of person X, then they can be still charged with the murders of person Y or person Z.  It is reasonably common that in cases where the prosecution is unsure whether they can get a guilty verdict on a multiple homicide charge, that they'll charge the person with one person's murder, and only introduce the others after the initial trial.

Reasons and consequences section
While I don't necessarily personally disagree with content the 'Reasons and consequences' section, it have a number of problems. First there is already a section titled 'Consequences'. How is this one different. But more importantly, it reads like a personal essay. Most of it is unsourced, except for a single line that has over a dozen sources, which is a red-flag that the section is WP:OR. Also, most of the section isn't about this massacre, but massacres of Aborigines generally, and history of the dispossession of their land, which seems to me belongs in a separate article.

Description of the massacre
I think the following sentence is a bit too long and unclear; could someone take a crack at making it more clear?

"A group of eleven stockmen, consisting of assigned convicts and former convicts, ten of them white Europeans, the 11th, John Johnstone, a black African, led by John Henry Fleming, who was from Mungie Bundie Run near Moree, arrived at Henry Dangar's Myall Creek station in New England on 9 June 1838."

Talk:Sharon Stone/Archive 1

Image copyright
I suspect the image shown in the article is a copyvio. The image's page has absolutely no copyright information. I suspect KF just lifted from somewhere off the Internet. Can anyone confirm or refute? —Frecklefoot 15:33, Apr 15, 2004 (UTC)

 * Thank you for raising this question. I uploaded that image of Sharon Stone on 26 December 2002, that is a loooong time ago in Wikipedia time. Back then I didn't even know the meaning of fair use (cf. Talk:Sharon Tate).

 * Telling me that "those with a history of violations may be temporarily suspended from editing pages" is just a bit too much: Being suspended for something I did one and a half years ago when I had just discovered the upload button? You must be joking!

 * If it makes you happy, please delete all my old uploads. I don't mind, I don't care. All the best,  21:22, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Didn't mean to offend and I know I made plenty of mistakes when I began Wiki-ing. That text "those with a history of violations may be temporarily suspended from editing pages" was just part of the standard boilerplate text I copied & pasted. —Regards, Frecklefoot 14:42, Apr 16, 2004 (UTC)

Sexuality
Why is she categorized as LGBT? I see no source for this, other than that she played a bisexual serial killer, and received an award from the NCLR. Cleduc 21:13, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

In a recent interview in the advocate, she came out as bisexual. 68.46.22.195

Objectivity
''Faye Dunaway of her generation? Isn't that a bit subjective?''

 * The role that made her a true star, the Faye Dunaway of her generation, was that of Catherine Tramell, a brilliant coke-snorting bisexual mind-game playing serial killer in the sexually-charged Basic Instinct (1992). Stone went to considerable trouble to obtain the part for which she was far from first choice. Stone had to wait and actually turned down offers for the mere prospect to play Catherine Tramell. Several better known actresses of the time such as Geena Davis turned down the part mostly because of the nudity required. In the movie’s most notorious scene Ms. Tramell is being questioned by the police and she crosses and uncrosses her legs revealing the fact she wasn't wearing any underwear. Nothing was left to the imagination. Stone claims to have been tricked into the stunt and considered a lawsuit.

 * That paragraph is very biased. It needs citing for saying that "she considered a lawsuit" and that Greena Davis "turned it down mostly because of the nudity required". Also, the first sentence is long and reads very poorly.

-- I think you are the one that read poorly ...--69.37.90.237 18:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

objectivity and accuracy
It's not Simon Peres, it's Shimon Peres.

The red flag raised over the objectivity and accuracy of comments made about Ms. Stone's being "the Faye Dunaway of her generation" underscore what is perhaps Wikipedia's biggest problem, that of objectivity and accuracy. The webmasters at Wikipedia (and this is solely my opinion, you are free to diagree) remind me of parents who allow their kids to run rampant while either being too distracted with other things to notice, or worse, turning a blind eye. I wouldn't be surprised to find we've all encountered factual inaccuracies and biased entries on this site.

One of Wikipedia's great strengths (and great appeal) is the ability to edit articles. Naturally, this strength becomes a weakness when anyone can change a corrected aticle back into an incorrect version. This, of course, is incredibly frustrating for posters interested in maintaning accurate articles. All of it leaves me wondering, "Who's minding the store?"

Well... who, then? Who's culpable? Who, exactly, is the final authority? Admittedly, I'm speaking out of ignorance here. If Wikipedia has watchmen guarding the towers, someone should lend them a hand. I've cleaned up articles myself, but like so many Wikipedia adherents, I too have a full-time job and can't maintain the type of vigilance necessary to ensure the objectivity and accuracy any encyclopedia needs.

Any suggestion? And by that, I don't mean ad hoc attacks or knee-jerk comments. I mean actual, helpful suggestions as to how the problem must be addressed.

Thanks.

I think you are confusing style with objectivity. Its about a movie star for Christ sake you twit. Get off your high horse.--69.37.90.237 18:38, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

And anonymously (or in wiki-talk, "some might say "cowardly") name-calling helps how?--Buckboard 08:25, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

2004 - present
I deleted the quotations of Sharon's speech at Israel. I can't see how that gibberish can contribute to the article. I left the link though, for those who may want to read the quotations. Prickus 14:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Basic Instinct Screencap
Now, I know it's the scene that made her famous, but do we really need to show an image of her with her legs uncrossed? What's the wikipolicy on that, anyway? Max22 15:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Since it's probably what most people are looking for when they come here then it would seem churlish not to include it.

213.122.38.234 16:36, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree though I would say its what got her big start, not what she is most famous for.--69.37.254.159 01:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The picture was removed by, with the summary Why was there an inappropriate picture there?
 * (The picture was also removed by from Basic Instinct.)
 * To answer the question above: about one third of the section 1990-2004 revolves around this scene, so clearly some wikipedia editor did consider this screenshot appropriate. It is certainly the best known scene from the movie, and, even though she has made quite a number of movies between 1990 and 2004, it is arguably the best known Stone scene from that period.
 * At the moment I do not want to take a position on whether the textual description of the scene is superior to the combination of "text plus picture". (I don't even know what I mean by "superior" here. More informative?  Obviously not "more tasteful", nor "more tactful",  but I am not sure if taste and tact should be an issue here.)
 * Austrian 21:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There are images of genitalia on other Wikipedia entries, the criteria for inclusion not being if the images are 'appropriate' but whether they have information value. Since the scene is iconic and is much debated then I think its use is legitimate here - it is certainly more relevant to the text than the other images included.  81.131.83.76 02:08, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Biographical articles generally don't include nude photos. A screenshot from the interrogation scene would be appropriate, but I don't think the nude shot is. (Also, in reply to a comment above, I doubt that most people looking for an encyclopedia article about Sharon Stone are trying to find the shot from Basic Instinct.) tregoweth 20:38, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, the Principle of least astonishment is something to keep in mind here. tregoweth 21:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If a screenshot from the interrogation scene is 'appropriate' then it is logical to include the scene that it is famous for.81.131.46.175 15:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Um, biographies of porn stars don't include nude photos; I don't see why Stone's should include a shot of her genitalia. Also, again, I mention the Principle of least astonishment: In an article about the vagina, you expect to see images of genitalia. In an article about an actress, you don't. tregoweth 15:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Porn stars don't usually have iconic scenes in classic films. It is not uncommon for screencaps on other actors' profiles showing famous roles or famous scenes so I don't see why this image should be prohibited.

Request for comment
''RfC was posted on May 20, 2006 re. whether the "uncrossed legs" screenshot should be included. This section is purely for a comment by outside editors - not for debate and dispute by those already involved.'' It should be included as it is a famous scene and the only way to judge it is by seeing it. It is not comparable with porn, as it is a scene of dramatic sexual tension in a narrative. The small size of the thumbnail is not at all revealing anyway, and the rather dark enlargement hardly more so. Tyrenius 17:27, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that the scene is a notable one — but you can just as easily take a screencap of her a few seconds later, with her legs crossed. The scene would not be less recognisable. ~ Flooch 23:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above, perhaps a screenshot of her just after, news sources do it all the time and it conveys the same idea and is just as memorable. I think the picture of her with her legs open is unnecessary. --Zer0faults 12:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that a) a screenshot of that scene adds to the article, and that b) it should not be this particular image. The issue here, I think, is intent: most people will be prepared to see a revealing photograph on a page about genetalia, but would not be prepared to see female genetalia on a page about an actor. It's arguable that one familiar with Sharon Stone might expect something of the sort on a page about the actress, but if a person knew much about her, they may not be looking her up in an encyclopedia, anyway. An image of her in that scene with her legs crossed would be appropriate, or even better may be this image with the area between her legs edited to be darker or blurred (I think that there is an image tag for edited images, yes?) Verloren Hoop 19:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the above. Wikipedia should be kept as "family friendly" as possible as its a worldwide source for possible homework research. Is there a Wikipolicy on nudity or adult images? Garydh 11:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I think that's the wrong way to view it because some topics are inherently adult in nature. The appropriateness of an image should be judged in regards solely to the topic at hand if justice is going to be done to it.  Many of us feel that displaying the image is warranted because the actress has built her career on that one scene - it is integral to the context of Sharon Stone.  Personally I'd rather show the whole clip of her uncrossing and crossing her legs but that would violate fair use.  The decision has already been taken not to censor Wiki, so the only question that remains is does that particular image contribute to the article?  I personally think it expands upon the textual description, and the arguments against its inclusion don't really make a case against that - they're pushing the 'taste' issue which is the least important in factual documentation of anything. Argol910 13:18, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It may be worth noting that this is Argol910's only edit, other than uploading a version of the leg-crossing screenshot. —tregoweth (talk) 15:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't see it as a censorship issue - but I do think it's some anon user trying to get the picture in a Wikipedia article, when there's a perfectly good alternative, for his own kicks. I don't see it as a necessity to illustrate Shaon Stone's life or career. The existing picure was fine, and there was no need to change it. The only reason I can see that anyone would want to change it is not to add anything to the article, but because it's a particular type of picture. If that shot appeared in the article about the film, however, I'd have no problem. Stephenb (Talk) 10:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * The leg crossing picture WAS the existing image until someone disapproved of it and replaced it with a facial shot. A large portion of the text is devoted to the leg crossing scene and the purpose of the image is to illustrate that.  Choosing another image from the interview is good old fashioned censorship because it actually has nothing to do with the scene itself. If you are discussing a scene, then show an image from the actual scene being discussed, not one that comes before or after it and has essentially nothing to do with the text.  I cannot believe anyone can seriously suggest that the facial image provides better illustration than the leg crossing image.  The leg crossing image provides a much better illustration of the textual description so the article is better for it, and to be fair you can't actually discern her genitalia or any pubic hair from the thumbnail anyway!

 * This is the only edit by this user. —tregoweth (talk) 15:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I think a picture of the scene should be included, but not necessarily the crucial one. There are enough pics of her with lots of "leg" showing to convey the general image, while the details are given in the text. I wouldn't mind including the fanny shot though, as it is, in this case, the one thing that most people remember of the movie and Sharon Stone. A facial shot is not relevant to the part discussed, and an edited (censored) picture is the worst option of all: either you show what there is to see, or you take a different picture. Using the picture, but hiding the essential part, is a bit stupid. As a reference point: the Janet Jackson article has a pic of her wardrobe malfunctioning as well. Fram 11:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

How many people object to a link to the disputed image
Tregoweth's objection to the screencap of Sharon Stone flashing was the 'principle of least astonishment' - that you don't 'expect to see such an image on the profile. However, he has now started to remove a link to the image which clearly indicates the image's content. This clearly removes the choice of the reader to see the image themselves and surely moves over into censorship. Does anyone else object to a link to the image, or should I initiate proceedings against Tregoweth for vandalism? 213.122.4.145 21:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Please see Vandalism for what actually constitutes vandalism.

 * Well yes, it's an iconic scene that she has built her career on. Obviously some people will be curious to see exactly just what you do see and if something arouses curiosity then that is as good an argument for including anything on Wiki.  The link is clearly marked and readers are forewarned, so what is your problem against allowing them the choice to see view something they might want to see?  81.131.42.194 11:59, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * My problem is that the photo is gratuitous and irrelevant. —tregoweth (talk) 15:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * By definition, if you accept that the textual description has a legitimate place on her profile then you are admitting that people may be interested in that particular scene, and many of those people may be interested in seeing a still from the scene in question to see what all the fuss is about. 213.122.8.130 20:50, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Semi-Protection / Razzie Awards
I requested that administrators temporarily protect this page from anonymous edits, due to multiple repeated attempts by anonymous users to simply erase the fact that Sharon Stone has been nominated for numerous "Razzie" awards. These nominations and awards, while not flattering to her, are a valid part of her mark on the world and are worthy of inclusion. The section is well referenced, so it is not subject to rapid deletion under the "biographies of living persons" guidelines. I've added a complete listing of her "positive" awards as well in order to better reflect neutral point of view, so there's no violation there either.

Whoever you are, if you feel this content is legitimately problematic under Wikipedia's guidelines, come out of the shadows and discuss your thinking. If you just are a Sharon Stone fan and don't like the fact that she's had so many Razzie nominations and awards, then your issue is with the Razzie award voters, not with the Wikipedia article that fairly reports the situation.

She was 25 when they formed and already doing TV. She was in movies when they released their first album. This is just wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.105.70.136 (talk) 18:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

"Quick and the Dead"
I removed the following entry:

Stone's stardom was such that she received top billing over Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio when cast as a gunslinger for Sam Raimi's 1995 western The Quick and the Dead.

If you can cite a reference regarding this, go ahead and replace it. However, I doubt you'll find a reference that states this is significant, because Crowe and DiCaprio were little-known (in the U.S., in Crowe's case) at the time of that film. It's pretty much a meaningless statement. Not to mention that, as co-producer, Stone likely had the authority to give herself top billing. GuySperanza (talk) 06:15, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Razzie Awards
Over the years, there have been numerous cycles of inclusion/removal of Sharon Stone's Razzie awards. The latest removal came when the whole awards section was removed and incorporated into filmography, but minus the Razzies. My question is, are Razzie awards notable or not? Not once has the question actually been discussed; it's always just a deletion by some circuitous means. If they're notable, then for God's sake let's leave them in, and if not, then let's take them out, but this government by sneakiness has got to stop.

For the record, here was the latest list of her Razzies in case someone wants to have a go at putting them all back in:
 * 1988 - Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1987) Razzie Award Worst Actress
 * 1994 - Sliver (1993) Razzie Award Worst Actress
 * 1995 - The Specialist'' (1994) Razzie Award Worst Actress (Won)
 * 1995 - The Specialist'' (1994) Razzie Award Worst Screen Couple (Won)
 * 1997 - Diabolique (1996) Razzie Award Worst Actress
 * 2000 - Gloria (1999) Razzie Award Worst Actress
 * 2004 - Catwoman (2004) Razzie Award Worst Supporting Actress
 * 2004 - Catwoman (2004) Razzie Award Worst Screen Couple
 * 2007 - Basic Instinct 2'' (2006) Razzie Award Worst Actress (Won)

 * Quoting the question alone would be the most misleading way to present the fact. The first part of the answer only serves for the second part that karma is irrelevant. Her intention of mentioning the first part is making contrast. If the first part is singled out, the whole context would become distorted, as if she is not answering a question. BTW, karma is not retribution: The effect of karma often not returned to the doer. If you pour the water, the floor get wet, that is karma. It does not need you fell to have the karma. I am not sure whether Western people understand the word karma, but even Chinese media (I think intentionally) assume "karma" means retribution. So more explain may be need if a quote is made: There are far too many ways to mislead other readers. --Csmth (talk) 13:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

 * You guys should avoid the Chinese type of childish emotions here. And apart from everything mentioned here in the discussion and the main entry, there is another factor: The language and translation and the familiarity (or the unfamiliarity for that matter) about the habits of certain language speakers.

 * The Chinese were mostly upset about two things, "well, it's interesting", and "is this karma". This whole "Sharon Stone claimed China's earthquake is karma and she said it's interesting" is very unfortunate and unfair to her. There is ultra motives involved in the efforts of people who made these public in the first place. Sharon Stone's only fault was her frankness and speaking her mind. She shouldn't be blamed for that.

 * Everyone who's familiar with the habit of English speaking in practical daily life should not be mistaken about when SS saying "well, this is interesting," she did not at all referred to the China quake, or in other words she did not say the earthquake happening in China (for karma) is interesting. She only meant to let the listener know that the process of her coming out of that "is this karma" thought turn out to be "interesting" to her. She is saying her thought process about the thing was interesting. The Hong Kong reporter who interviewed her and reported about it in Chinese first ought to be blamed, if not punished. And for your info, days before Sharon Stone making the comments, I was already start hearing from my Chinese friends in China things such as "this is Karma". I don't care if you believe it or not.

 * Very similar incident at a similar time was CNN's Jack Cafferty comment, and it was for the same reason. Jack Cafferty only hit the truth and he should not be blamed for that. You guys know in daily life when the English speakers comment on international events, they often use phrases such as "The Americans", "The French", "The Japanese" to refer to the governments and the country as a whole and there is nothing to be offended. He did not "insult the people of China" for God sake! So why, while everyone else is fine, should only the Chinese be felt offended? The thing is those Chinese angry youth studying abroad were already on the hunt for their imagined enemies everyday out there anyways. That's because their minds were of victims and losers, and on the top of that they're still crazy with the remnants of Cultural Revolution mentality, so especially in those days around Olympic torch tour, because everyone was blaming China rightfully for their stinking human rights records, they were so sensitive already and everyone who appear to be even a little critical of China would be easily seen as "anti-China". This is a mental health issue at its best. As simple as that.

Ancestry/lineage
There have been a several edits repeatedly adding the claim that Stone is of Irish and English descent:. The claim is backed up with this source: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=dowfam3&id=I251968. The source is a geneaology website, and while I have no problem with the website as a reliable source, it is does not directly corroborate the claim about Stone's heritage. It is a collection of records that enables the reader to trace her ancestry. On that basis you can piece together Stone's lineage by searching through her ancestors' records, but I believe this contravenes Wikipedia's policy on source synthesis: WP:SYNTHESIS. The policy states:

""Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. If one reliable source says A, and another reliable source says B, do not join A and B together to imply a conclusion C that is not mentioned by either of the sources. This would be a synthesis of published material to advance a new position, which is original research.""

Since the source does not explicitly make a claim about Stone's lineage, the claim is synthesis on the basis it is pieced together from many ancestry records, and cannot be verified by a reader without tracing her ancestry. I have no objection to including her lineage in the article, but it should be corroborated by a self-contained statement in a reliable source to avoid the synthesis.

I agree that the order is hap hazard. I added that she lived at Bethesda Christian Children home just outside Meadville but someone removed it. I know this as fact because I too was at this home from 1968 to 1972 while my parents were separating. Sharon lived there during that same time but was already there when I got there and still there when I left. She dated Lanny Barr who lived there too and was about 4 years older than her. I can't cite my sources because I am the source. She was in the dorms with (I Think) Mrs. Ore as the house mother. If her birth date is correct then she must have been moved ahead in grades because she was in my sisters classes (3 years older than me) and yet she is a year younger than me.2605:A000:F485:C700:55B4:EA5:7D46:D3DB (talk) 18:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Redundant Reference?
''Well you know it was very interesting because at first, you know, I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don't like that. And I had been this, you know, concerned about, oh how should we deal with the Olympics because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that Karma? When you're not nice then the bad things happen to you?[92]

One of China's biggest cinema chains reacted to Stone's comments by declaring it would not show her films in its theaters.[93] The founder of the UME Cineplex chain and the chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, Ng See-Yuen, called Stone's comments "inappropriate", and said the UME Cineplex chain would no longer present her films.[93]''

Is reference #92 necessary? It's dead and redundant. Doesn't #93 serves its purpose?

Second, should "Karma" be capitalized? It's lower case in the quotation and in WP. Gprobins (talk) 13:53, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Early Life and Education
Doesn't add up. If she entered second grade at age 5, then she'd likely finish high school in 1974 (age 16), not 1975.

Further, we need clarification on college scholarship at age 15. Probably not the age she matriculated. But even if it's meant as the age of receiving the scholarship, it seems odd. Her birthday is in March and admission letters were mailed in April back then, so she was probably 16 when she received it.

Generally, though, this section is using a talk show interview and other casual publications as evidence. Need WP:RS. Martindo (talk) 00:46, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

The picture of the stamp is depicting the wrong building
I removed the stamp in the right upper corner, since it is depicting the wrong building, it shows the old building of the Kammergericht (an institution which was formerly the Supreme Court of Appeal of Prussia and after the latter's dismantling in 1947 it is now the Supreme Court of Appeal of the state of Berlin). The depicted building now serves as the entrance section of the Jewish Museum of Berlin. So I relocated the image to there, and to the page of the Kammergericht. From 1913 until its total destruction by an US air raid on February 3, 1945 the depicted building served the Prussian Union (Evangelical Christian Church) as Provincial Consistory for Brandenburg.

In 1913 the Kammergericht moved into its new prestigious building. A photo of the building is displayed at the pertaining page. Since it wasn't destroyed in the war, it was seized for the Allied Control Council. After the abolition of the occupational status of Berlin in 1990 it was renovated and in 1997 the Kammergericht moved back in again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ulf Heinsohn (talk • contribs) 03:48, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Electromagnetic electron wave

In plasma physics, an electromagnetic electron wave is a wave in a plasma which has a magnetic field component and in which primarily the electrons oscillate.

In an unmagnetized plasma, an electromagnetic electron wave is simply a light wave modified by the plasma. In a magnetized plasma, there are two modes perpendicular to the field, the O and X modes, and two modes parallel to the field, the R and L waves.

Langmuir Wave
The Langmuir wave is a purely longitudinal wave, that is, the wave vector is in the same direction as the E-field. It is an electrostatic wave; as such, it doesn't have an oscillating magnetic field.

A plasma consists of charged particles which react to electric fields, in contrast with dielectric matter. When electrons in a uniform, homogeneous plasma are perturbed from their equilibrium position, a charge separation occurs creating an electric field which acts as restoring force on the electrons. Since electrons have inertia the system behaves as a harmonic oscillator, where the electrons oscillate at a frequency ωpe, called electron plasma frequency. These oscillations do not propagate—the group velocity is 0.

When the thermal motion of the electrons is taken into account a shift in frequency from the electron plasma frequency ωpe occurs. Now the electron pressure gradient acts as the restoring force, creating a propagating wave analogous to a sound wave in non-ionized gases. Combining these two restoring forces (from the electric field and electron pressure gradient) a type of wave, named Langmuir wave, is excited. The dispersion relation is:

$$ \omega^2 = \omega_{pe}^2 + 3 C_e^2 k^2 $$

The first term on the right-hand side of the dispersion relation is the electron plasma oscillation related to the electric field force and the second term is related to the thermal motion of the electrons, where Ce is the electron thermal speed and k is the wave vector.

Electromagnetic wave
In an unmagnetized plasma, waves above the plasma frequency propagate through the plasma according to the dispersion relation:

$$ 1 - \frac{\omega_{pe}^2}{\omega^2} - \frac{k^2 c^2}{\omega^2} = 0 \rightarrow \omega^2 = c^2 k^2 + \omega_{pe}^2 $$

In an unmagnetized plasma for the high frequency or low electron density limit, i.e. for $$\omega \gg \omega_{pe}=(n_ee^2/m_e\epsilon_0)^{1/2}$$ or $$n_e \ll m_e\omega^2\epsilon_0\,/\,e^2$$ where ωpe is the plasma frequency, the wave speed is the speed of light in vacuum. As the electron density increases, the phase velocity increases and the group velocity decreases until the cut-off frequency where the light frequency is equal to ωpe. This density is known as the critical density for the angular frequency ω of that wave and is given by

 * $$n_c = \frac{\varepsilon_o\,m_e}{e^2}\,\omega^2$$ (SI units)

If the critical density is exceeded, the plasma is called over-dense.

In a magnetized plasma, except for the O wave, the cut-off relationships are more complex.

O wave
The O wave is the "ordinary" wave in the sense that its dispersion relation is the same as that in an unmagnetized plasma, that is,

$$ 1 - \frac{\omega_{pe}^2}{\omega^2} - \frac{k^2 c^2}{\omega^2} = 0 \rightarrow \omega^2 = c^2 k^2 + \omega_{pe}^2 $$

. It is plane polarized with E1 || B0. It has a cut-off at the plasma frequency.

X wave
The X wave is the "extraordinary" wave because it has a more complicated dispersion relation:

$$ n^2 = \frac{[(\omega+\omega_{ci})(\omega-\omega_{ce})-\omega_p^2][(\omega-\omega_{ci})(\omega+\omega_{ce})-\omega_p^2]}{(\omega^2-\omega_{ci}^2)(\omega^2-\omega_{ce}^2)+\omega_p^2(\omega_{ce}\omega_{ci}-\omega^2)}$$

Where $$\omega_p^2 = \omega_{pe}^2+\omega_{pi}^2$$.

It is partly transverse (with E1⊥B0) and partly longitudinal; the E-field is of the form

$$ (E_x, -j\frac{S}{D}E_x, 0)$$

Where $$S,D$$ refer to the Stix notation.

As the density is increased, the phase velocity rises from c until the cut-off at $$\omega_R$$ is reached. As the density is further increased, the wave is evanescent until the resonance at the upper hybrid frequency $$\omega_h^2 = \omega_p^2 + \omega_c^2$$. Then it can propagate again until the second cut-off at $$\omega_L$$. The cut-off frequencies are given by
 * $$\begin{align}

\omega_R &= \frac{1}{2}\left[ \omega_c + \left(\omega_c^2 + 4\omega_p^2\right)^\frac{1}{2} \right] \\ \omega_L &= \frac{1}{2}\left[ -\omega_c + \left(\omega_c^2 + 4\omega_p^2\right)^\frac{1}{2} \right] \end{align}$$

where $$\omega_c$$ is the electron cyclotron resonance frequency, and $$\omega_p$$ is the electron plasma frequency.

The resonant frequencies for the X-wave are:

$$ \omega^2 = \frac{\omega_e^2+\omega_i^2}{2} \pm \sqrt{\left(\frac{\omega_e^2-\omega_i^2}{2}\right)^2+\omega_{pe}^2\omega_{pi}^2}$$

where $$ \omega_a^2 = \omega_{pa}^2+\omega_{ca}^2 $$ and $$a = e,i$$.

R wave and L wave
The R wave and the L wave are right-hand and left-hand circularly polarized, respectively. The R wave has a cut-off at ωR (hence the designation of this frequency) and a resonance at ωc. The L wave has a cut-off at ωL and no resonance. R waves at frequencies below ωc/2 are also known as whistler modes.

Dispersion relations
The dispersion relation can be written as an expression for the frequency (squared), but it is also common to write it as an expression for the index of refraction ck/ω (squared).

Applecross

Applecross (A' Chomraich, 'The Sanctuary') is a peninsula north-west of Kyle of Lochalsh in Wester Ross, Scottish Highlands. The name Applecross is at least 1,300 years old and is not used locally to refer to the 19th century village (which is correctly called 'Shore Street', or simply 'The Street') with the Applecross Inn, lying on the Applecross Bay, facing the Inner Sound, on the opposite side of which lies the Inner Hebridean island of Raasay. The monastery of Applecross was established by St Maelrubha, in the 7th century. A sculptured stone is the only remaining relic of Maelrubha, who built a chapel there.

Geography
This row of houses which is often referred to as 'Applecross', and is marked as Applecross on some maps, is actually called 'Shore Street' and is referred to locally just as 'The Street'. The name Applecross applies to all the settlements around the peninsula, including Toscaig, Culduie, Camusterrach, Sand, and many others. Applecross is also the name of the local estate and the civil parish, which includes Shieldaig and Torridon, and has a population of 544. The small River Applecross (Abhainn Crosain) flows into the bay at Applecross.

Extremely isolated, Applecross was accessible only by boat until the early 20th century, and for many years after that the only road access was over one of Scotland's most notoriously treacherous roads, the Bealach na Ba ('Pass of the Cattle'), which crosses the peninsula and reaches a maximum height of 626 m, below the 792 m high Sgùrr a' Chaorachain. In 1975 the settlement was connected via a winding coastal road which travels around the edge of the peninsula to Shieldaig and Torridon. The road skirts the shore of the Inner Sound and Loch Torridon.

Early history
Applecross's name is an anglicisation of the Pictish name Aporcrosan, 'confluence of the [river] Crossan' (Obar Crosain in modern Gaelic). The name is derived from the Pictish aber- and Scottish Gaelic cros. Historically, the settlement is linked with St Máelrubai (Old Irish form) or Máel Ruba, who came to Scotland in 671 from the major Irish monastery of Bangor, County Down. He founded Aporcrosan in 672 in what was then Pictish territory, and was the monastery's first abbot, dying on 21 April 722 in his eightieth year. The deaths of several of his successors as abbot are recorded in the Irish Annals into the early ninth century. The early monastery was located around the site of the later parish church (present building erected 1817). A large, unfinished cross-slab standing in the churchyard and three extremely finely carved fragments of another (or more than one?) preserved within the church are evidence of the early monastery. The surrounding district is known as A’ Chomraich 'the sanctuary' in Gaelic. Its boundaries were once marked by crosses. The stub of one, destroyed in 1870, survives among farm buildings at Camusterrach.

There are many churches dedicated to Máel Ruba on Skye and throughout northern Scotland, the saint's name sometimes taking distorted forms (e.g. 'Rufus' at Keith in Banffshire). Loch Maree and its holy island of Eilean Ma-Ruibhe (site of an early church and holy well) are both named after the saint.

The area around Applecross is believed to be one of the earliest settled parts of Scotland. The coastal settlement of Sand, just to the north of Applecross, is the location of a major archaeological site.

Applecross estate
The Applecross estate extends to approximately 70000 acre and covers most of the peninsula.

In the second half of the 16th century, the lands of Applecross came into the possession of Alexander Mackenzie (died 1650), an illegitimate son of Colin Cam Mackenzie of Kintail. With a brief interruption between 1715 and 1724 (a period of forfeiture caused by Applecross's part in the 1715 Uprising), the estate remained in the ownership of Mackenzie's heirs until the mid-19th century, when it was sold to the Duke of Leeds.

In the early 1860s, the estate was sold to Lord Middleton. Following the death of the 10th Baron Middleton in 1924, the estate was sold to the Wills family.

The Estate is now owned by the Applecross Trust, a registered Scottish charity with the declared aim of preserving "the special character of the Applecross peninsula in a responsible and progressive manner whilst acknowledging its wilderness heritage and its importance as an area of outstanding natural beauty". The Applecross Trust is overseen by a board of seven people and chaired by Rodger Harvey-Jamieson.

Wildlife
Many native Scottish animals can be found in Applecross, including mammals such as red deer, pine martens, otters, water voles, blue hare, foxes, a rare wildcat, and pipistrelle and Daubenton's bats as well as birds such as tawny and barn owls, white tailed and golden eagles, great skua, arctic tern, great spotted woodpeckers, song thrush, bullfinches, golden plover, skylark, merlin, greenshank, dunlin, red and, occasionally, the rarer black grouse, dotterel, and rock ptarmigan. In terms of marine life there are common seals near the shore, as well as basking sharks, minke whales, porpoises, and bottlenose dolphins. Adders can also be found here.

Economy
In July 2010, at a cost of £40,000, the UK's first unmanned petrol station was opened. It uses a credit card reader to enable customers to serve themselves. The business was taken over by Applecross Community Company in 2008 in response to its possible closure. The only alternative involves a 36 mi round trip to Lochcarron.

Tourism
Recently Applecross has experienced an increase in tourism for those looking for a place to hike, kayak, fish, and cycle. The North Coast 500 cycling route crosses the Bealach na Bà pass and goes through Applecross along the coastal road.

Media and the arts
Applecross appeared as Laxdale in the 1953 film Laxdale Hall, in which the community protests against the poor condition of the access road by withholding their Road Tax.

On television, Applecross appeared as Carnochie in the "Upstairs Downstairs" episode "Will Ye No Come Back Again?" (1975). It later featured in Monty Halls' Great Escape (2009) and an edition of Channel 4's Time Team (series 13, episode 13) when a broch (hollow-walled structure) was excavated.

It is mentioned in the writings of Margaret Leigh; particularly in 'Driftwood and Tangle'. It is also the setting for Graeme Macrae Burnet's 2015 novel His Bloody Project which was nominated for the Man Booker Prize in 2016. It also was the main setting of the "Enchanted Emporium" series by Pierdomenico Baccalario.

Origin of the Title
Does anyone have any idea what the title, "The Moon and Sixpence" means, where it comes from, or what Maugham meant by it?

Must we pay for art? Moon means women. See Mother Goose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.128.49.127 (talk) 06:52, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I have removed the following from the section relating to the title, as it is unsupported by references and in my experience it is at least partly wrong.

 * Traditionally, shillings and pence were written together with a slash and quoted together. E.g. 1/6 was "one shilling and six pence". In the common case where there were no shillings but a zero was required, it became colloquially called the moon.

The line between the 1 and the 6 was not known as a slash when £sd was in use: it is a reduced form of a long "s" (for shillings/solidi) and is technically a solidus; further "1/6" was spoken "one and six" or "one and sixpence": see £sd. The form "0/6d" was rarely found, and I know of no authority for it being called a "moon". In any case, the digression does not help to explain the title at all.Thomas Peardew (talk) 14:46, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Removed commercial plug
I have removed from the In popular culture section the following: "The Moon and Sixpence is the name of a popular Irish pub in Portland, Oregon." Reason: uncited claim, probable commercial plug. To reinstate this claim, provide a reliable reference proving its notable popularity. WP is an encyclopedia. David Spector (user/talk) 13:14, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
