Hans Rudolph, Inc.
A tag has been placed on Hans Rudolph, Inc. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — Timotab Timothy (not Timdagnabbit!) 05:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Autopatrolled
Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
 * This permission does not give you any special status or authority
 * Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
 * You may wish to display the Autopatrolled top icon and/or the User wikipedia/autopatrolled userbox on your user page
 * If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it
 * If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! Acalamari 15:34, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Adopt-a-typo Thanks
Dear Wpollard, Thank you for adopting a typo, and adding yourself to by adding the user box. This is still a fledgling program, and category, and therefore every added member adds much needed credibility. Majestic Pyre My Speech Bubble  22:07, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Dissertation
Is your dissertation online? I noticed the Fort Aubrey article, and I'm curious because I wondered if it could be useful for pages such as the redlinked Bear Creek Redoubt in Clark County. Nyttend backup (talk) 18:26, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but there's no need to go to the trouble. I'm in grad school, so I have tons of papers sitting around already, including some information that I'll use for Wikipedia if I ever get the chance: I'd likely not have time to use it if you sent it.  Thanks for the offer!  Nyttend (talk) 11:35, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Start/finish the article.
 * Move the article into your userpage.
 * Mark the article as G7 if you created it in mistake.

What I usually do these days when I create an article is create the new article with no information. Next, I copy text I have written from my sandbox and, finally, I add categories. I have been doing this, because I was moving articles from my workspace, which leaves many unneeded redirects. Also, I had several instances of people making article changes before the article was moved from my workspace. Hope this clarifies what happened with this article.Bill Pollard (talk) 21:43, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

disambiguation pages
I reverted your last three edits to Mirror Lake because they added entries which do not lead to an article about Mirror Lake. That page is a disambiguation page which is meant to help readers find the article they are looking for.

I have encountered this situation myself trying to balance encyclopedic thoroughness with Wikirules. The result is Oregon-specif articles like Lost Lake (Oregon). Possibly you might want to create a Florida-specific article like that which is not a disambiguation but a geographic-based article? —EncMstr (talk) 07:45, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Loch Long
Hi re:Loch Long, Highlands, putting the coords in the middle of the loch. It is worth noting the British Ordance Survey doesn't always have the coordinates in the middle of the loch, or if if it a bay. Sometime I see them at the top of the loch, bottom or sometimes even outside. It is the same with bays. Its been a bit a puzzlement.

Lak Mueang

Lak mueang (หลักเมือง, ) are city pillars found in most cities of Thailand. Usually housed in a shrine (ศาลหลักเมือง, ) which is also believed to house Chao Pho Lak Mueang (เจ้าพ่อหลักเมือง, ), the city spirit deity. It was constructed because the continuation of ancient traditions and Brahman's customs believed that it has something to do with the Held, the single city pillar ceremony (Held “Lak Muang”) which is made of an Acacia wood Chaiyaphreuk (ชัยพฤกษ์) before the construction of the city for a major goal to build a city and to be the centre of soul for the citizens.

It was probably King Rama I who erected the first city pillar on 21 April 1782, when he moved his capital from Thonburi to Bangkok. The shrine was the first building in his new capital, the palace and other buildings being constructed later.

Outside Bangkok
Shortly after the shrine in Bangkok, similar shrines were built in strategic provinces to symbolise central power, such as in Songkhla. More shrines were created during the reign of King Buddha Loetla Nabhalai (Rama II) in Nakhon Khuen Khan and Samut Prakan, and by King Nangklao (Rama III) in Chachoengsao, Chanthaburi, and Phra Tabong Province (now in Cambodia). However, after King Mongkut raised a new pillar in Bangkok, no further shrines in the provinces were built until 1944, when then-Prime Minister of Thailand Phibunsongkhram built a city pillar in Phetchabun, as he intended to move the capital to this town. Though this plan failed to get approval by the parliament, the idea of city pillars caught on, and in the following years several provincial towns built new shrines. In 1992, the Ministry of Interior ordered that every province should have such a shrine. As of 2010, however, a few provinces still have no city pillar shrine. In Chonburi the shrine was scheduled to be finished by the end of 2011.

The building style of the shrines varies. Especially in provinces with a significant Thai Chinese influence, the city pillar may be housed in a shrine that resembles a Chinese temple as, for example in Songkhla, Samut Prakan, and Yasothon. Chiang Rai's city pillar is not housed in a shrine at all; but, since 1988, is in an open place inside Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong; it is called the sadue mueang (สะดือเมือง), 'navel' or 'omphalos' of the city. In Roi Et, the city pillar is housed in a sala (open-air pavilion) on an island in the lake in the centre of the city.

The Bangkok city pillar shrine
Bangkok's city pillar shrine (also known as san lak muang) is one of the most ancient, sacred, and magnificent city pillar shrines in Thailand. It is believed that people will achieve prosperity and fulfillment in their work and career, avoid misfortune, and improve their luck, power, and prestige if they bow and pay their respects at this sacred place. The shrine is in the heart of Bangkok, opposite the grand palace in the southeast corner of the Sanam Luang and close to the Ministry of Defence. According to a historian, the shrine was built after the establishment of the Rattanakosin Kingdom (Bangkok) to replace the old capital of the Thonburi Kingdom during the reign of King Rama I of the Chakri dynasty at 06:45, Sunday, 21 April 1782. It was constructed according to ancient traditions such as the Brahmans' belief in the held, the single city pillar ceremony (held "lak muang"), in which a pillar of acacia wood (chaiyapreuk) was erected before the effort of constructing the city began. It was intended to be the spiritual centre for Thai citizens.

"Chaiyapreuk" (acacia) means "tree of victory". This wood was used by Thai locals to build a pillar 270 cm high, buried 200 cm deep, making a total height of 470 cm, and 74 cm in diameter. Inside was a horoscope for Bangkok. However, the shrine was renovated several times during the reigns of Kings Rama IV and Mongkut, and then became dilapidated. The king therefore ordered the excavation of the old pillar and construction of a replacement, with a new horoscope for the city placed inside. In 1852 the new pillar was installed, measuring 5.115 m tall, 47 centimetres (18.8 in) in diameter at the bottom, with a base 180 cm wide. Both old and new pillars were moved to a refurbished pavilion with a spire (prang) modelled on the shrine of Ayudhya. The shrine was finished on Sunday, 1 May 1853. In 1980, in preparation for the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Rattanakosin in 1982, the Bangkok city pillar shrine underwent renovation, including the addition of arches to house a five-city guardian deity. is popular worshipped in Tai folk religion and hinduism such as Kāla and Chitragupta.

According to the In–Chan–Mun–Kong legend of the shrine, Thai locals believed that the construction of the shrine required the sacrifice of four people after the proclamation of the words "in–chan–mun–kong" all over the city ("in" from the north, "chan" from the south, "mun" from the east, and "kong" from the west). Anyone who responded was captured, brought to the ceremonial location, and buried in a hole. Their spirits would guard and protect the city. This is only a myth and is not recorded in the chronicles.

People usually use three incense sticks, one candle, gold foil, two lotus flowers, two flower garlands, and one three-colour taffeta to worship at the shrine.

Should the singles really be counted as part of the album?
I am not sure that we should consider Disc 2 of the 2-CD set as part of the album itself. It is a bonus disc, and not available on all versions of the album. CD versions with a black background and a white disco ball do not feature the singles collected on Disc 2, although a later release with the black cover does feature "Yr City's A Sucker" as a bonus track. Also, vinyl versions of the album do not feature the singles. IIRC, the CD was originally issued solely on DFA with the black cover and without the singles disc. Later on, it was issued on DFA/Capitol with a white cover and the second disc. This may be nitpicking, but it has always seemed to me that the second disc of collected singles is not part of the album proper, and should be listed as a bonus disc. --Leamanc (talk) 09:19, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The white cover with the second CD was the original release in 2005. The black cover with only the first disc was released in 2007. .  I agree the album "proper" is only the first disc, but the second disc is never listed anywhere as a "bonus", merely a collection of the early singles and their b-sides.Plum743 (talk) 08:50, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Brass (TV series)

Brass is a British television comedy drama, made by Granada Television for ITV and eventually Channel 4. "Brass" is northern English slang for "money" as well as for "effrontery". The series was set primarily in Utterley, a fictional Lancashire mining town in the 1930s, Brass satirized working-class period dramas of the 1970s, most significantly When the Boat Comes In. Unusually for ITV comedies of the time, Brass eschewed a laugh track and used a dry sense of humour based in part on convoluted wordplay and subtle commentary on popular culture. The series also parodied the 1977 Granada TV dramatisation of Dickens' Hard Times, which also starred Timothy West.

Story and characters
The series, created by John Stevenson and Julian Roach, was about two feuding families—the wealthy Hardacres and the working-class Fairchilds—who lived in a small terraced house rented from the Hardacre empire. The Hardacre family was headed by the ruthless self-made businessman Bradley Hardacre and his glamorous, alcoholic, aristocratic wife Lady Patience. Bradley spouted Thatcherite rhetoric, while coming up with harebrained schemes to make his businesses more efficient so he could sack workers. The head of the Fairchilds was the stern "Red" Agnes, who spread militant socialist rhetoric around the Hardacre mine, mill and munitions factory and her doltish, forelock-tugging husband George who is dominated by his wife and his boss. Agnes was also Bradley Hardacre's mistress.

Other characters in the series were the children of the families. The Fairchilds had two sons—Jack, a defiant miner and Matthew, a sensitive clerk who wrote very poor verse. The Hardacre children were Bentley (deceased; his memorial stone is featured in the first episode), glamorous, nymphomaniac Isobel, innocent budding feminist Charlotte, ambitious heir to the Hardacre empire Austin and Morris, a gay Cambridge student with a fondness for teddy bears (cf. Sebastian in Brideshead Revisited). Bentley, Austin and Morris are named after British car manufacturers; Jack and Matt were named after terms used in the game of bowls.

Not only were Bradley and Agnes lovers, with Bradley being most likely the father of Matthew but Isobel and Jack were also lovers and afterwards it was revealed that Charlotte was not Bradley's daughter but the result of an affair between Lady Patience and the elderly Lord Mountfast, whom Isobel married. Charlotte married Matthew, to whom Morris Hardacre had at one time been attracted. To complicate matters Lady Patience also had a brief fling with Matthew Fairchild.

Despite his wealth and social connections, Bradley had been brought up in the Utterley Cottage workhouse and had made his money himself, obviously not legally or fairly. Apart from the Hardacres and the Fairchilds the most significant other character was the Scottish idealist, Dr McDuff, played by David Ashton and satirising Dr Finlay of Dr Finlay's Casebook.

Series history
Brass ran for two series on ITV, shown between 1982 and 1984, and was brought back for a third series in 1990 on Channel 4, set in 1939. The third series saw the Hardacres move to London and later to a country mansion called Yonderley but making frequent trips to Utterley or Swarfside, where the Hardacre business empire was still based. The Fairchilds had also moved to London as Agnes was now MP for Utterley.

Filming
Some scenes are set at Croydon Airport but were filmed at Barton Airport, whose distinctive control tower appears in the film. Some of the opening scenes are of Thorn Street in Summerseat, Bury. Greater Manchester.

Availability on video
The series is available on DVD in the United Kingdom.

Shatter (song)

"Shatter" is a song by the British rock band Feeder. "Shatter" was first released as B-side to "Tumble and Fall" and as a bonus to the Japanese edition of Pushing the Senses; it has since been included on the band's compilation album The Singles.

Released on 10 October 2005, the single was backed by "Tender" from the fifth studio album Pushing the Senses, the combination reaching number 11 in the UK Singles Chart, and number one in the Independent Singles Chart; their third number one of the year on that chart. On the physical singles chart, which excludes downloads (at the time downloads didn’t make much of an impact in comparison to later years), the single made No.8, making it their fourth top 10 single on that chart and second top 10 of the year.

Music video
The video for "Tender" is a band performance video, and first appeared on the "Depot sessions" section of the Pushing the Senses DVD bonus disc.

"Shatter" uses clips from the movie Night Watch and recreated film sets the band are seen performing and acting in. Frontman Grant Nicholas revealed that the long tube he carried, was lit up by wires going up his arm from a battery pack, then up to a light in the tube.

Reception
The single peaked at number 11, and became Feeder's 10th Top 20 single, falling short of the top 10 and would have been the band's 4th top 10 single. However, in Scotland it reached number 9 giving the band their 4th top 10 single in that country and second of the year. In Wales, the single underperformed reaching number 32, which was seen as a failure especially being their homeland.

The video for "Shatter", reached number one on the UK 3 download chart and also reached the summit of the UK Independent Singles Chart.

"Shatter" charted at number 57 on the top 100 UK airplay chart. "Tender" reached number 55 but did not pick up as much audience figures overall, due to not being given very much radio play, as "Shatter" was the main track to promote the release.

The song was a live regular between 2005–2009, with it later making a return to setlists in 2017 due to fan votes on their Facebook page (also with an acoustic intro as opposed to a hi-hat effect used in the past).

Media usage
The two tracks on the single are played during the end credits of the UK and international releases of the Russian dark fantasy film Night Watch, though on the American release, both songs are replaced by "Fearless" by The Bravery and an instrumental piece. "Shatter" was originally a part of the Gran Turismo 4 Original Soundtrack.

Talk:Losing My Edge

untitled
I think we need a list of bands that are named in this - if I have time I'll do it later.. Secretlondon 16:27, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Which bands?
This track famously lists lots of bands - most of which I can disambiguate. However there are a few which I haven't heard of and as both bands are red links I can't determine which one was meant.

 * The Trojans - Trojan Records? Trojan (band)?
 * The Outsiders (Dutch band) or The Outsiders (American band)? Secretlondon 05:20, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I haven't heard the song, but judging from the other artists listed, I'm almost completely certain it was the Dutch Outsiders that were referred to. The American Outsiders were just too square to be liked by the same type of people that are into Can, The Monks, and The Sonics. —Chowbok 05:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure it refers to the British punk band. Aroundthewayboy 06:38, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

 * The Sonics or The Sonics? Ams1230 (talk) 17:51, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Niagara
The article was linking to Niagara (band) but this is a French pop duo that broke up in 1992. By the looks of the other artists, I have redirected the link to Niagara (artist) who appears to be the more likely person. However if by chance it is the French group on this CD (after all the Beach Boys are listed, too) then please revert my change. 23skidoo 21:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

"Every great song by the Peech Boys" (not the "Beach Boys"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peech_Boys. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Testdues (talk • contribs) 12:46, 2 November 2017 (UTC) https://www.discogs.com/James-Murphy-Pat-Mahoney-FabricLive-36/master/120797.

I'm pretty sure it is the french pop duo he's referring to, because of their track "Voyage, Voyage", which is a European dj favourite. 78.23.52.209 (talk) 23:29, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

"I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagara record on German import." The band referenced in this lyric is the German band Niagara, which released three LPs in the early 1970s.

Confusing Lyric
Did anyone notice that the song mentions being at the first can show in 1968, but the Wiki for James Murphy indicates that he was born in 1970? 24.80.160.120 21:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * gasp* Maybe he wasn't really there? Secretlondon 21:19, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

The whole thing shouldn't be taken too seriously (it's all rather tongue-in-cheek.) Read the quote from James Murphy on the Losing My Edge page - it explains the song's meaning rather well ;) 20:59, 15 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.252.179 (talk)
